RUSS:  Hey.
MAGGIE:  I know your shift is over but have you seen Brianna?  I’ve been looking all over for her.
RUSS:  No.  Is this about Mr. Rader?

JOHN:  You look so beautiful.  Can we practice now before we go to Chicago?
SHARLENE:  You’re not slipping this dress off of me just yet.
JOHN:  First you deny me and my office and now here.  That’s a disturbing trend Mrs. Hudson.
SHARLENE:  It’s gonna make tonight epic.


GREGORY KNOCKS ON THE DOOR…
Robert Scott Wilson as Gregory Hudson


GREGORY:  Mom don’t forget to leave the keys to your car.

CHRISTY:  For what?  We’re leaving Bay City tonight.  I want you to come with us.
ERIC:  No.
CHRISTY:  Excuse me?  What do you mean ‘no’?  This is what we planned.
ERIC:  This is what you planned!  I’m not goin anywhere with you.

AT THE CORY’S, FELICIA WALKS IN THE FOYER AND APPROACHES THE LIVING ROOM, WHERE RACHEL AWAITS ON THE COUCH.  SHE GETS UP AND FACES FELICIA.
Linda Dano as Felicia Gallant Blake

Victoria Wyndham as Rachel Cory Hutchins


FELICIA:  I got your voicemail.  Is everything okay?  
RACHEL:  No.  Not at all.
FELICIA:  Is there anything I can do?
RACHEL:  Yes you can.  You can tell me why you betrayed me.
FELICIA:  What are you talking about?  I..I didn’t betray you.
RACHEL:  How much did she offer you?  Or should I ask, how much of the world did she offer you?
FELICIA:  Are you talking about Iris?
RACHEL:  Yes.  The competition.  The enemy.


FELICIA WALKS INTO THE LIVING ROOM AS RACHEL WALKS TOWARD THE BACK GLASS DOUBLE DOORS


FELICIA:  You view that as some type of betrayal? That was a business decision.  It has nothing to do with our friendship.
RACHEL:  Matthew and Amanda did everything they could to get you to take their offer, and you went with Iris.
FELICIA:  This wasn’t personal, Rachel.  I took what I thought was the best deal.
RACHEL:  And you turned your back on our family.  It has everything to do with our friendship, and how I look at you now.
FELICIA:  Rachel you’re being completely irrational.  
RACHEL:  You...and I...are no longer friends.


CAMERA PAN ON RACHEL….SLOW FADE TO THEME SONG…

BRIANNA WALKS INTO THE LOCKER ROOM AND MAGGIE IS RIGHT BEHIND HER.
locker room


MAGGIE: Excuse me. You can't walk away from me when I'm telling you about a patient!
BRIANNA:  I didn’t know you were my boss.  
MAGGIE:  I need to tell you about Mr. Rader’s medication, and you’re nowhere to be found.  Where were you Brianna?
BRIANNA:  I don’t owe you any explanations...Maggie.
MAGGIE:  What’s your deal?  What’s with the attitude?
BRIANNA:  Me?  Seems to me that’s you’re the one who has the problem?  Why?  What is it that you have against me?  I do great work at the hospital.  You can ask Dr. Hudson and Dr. Matthews.
MAGGIE:  Right.  And it’s fake!
BRIANNA:  Why don’t you be honest with yourself?  You’re salty because Matt and I are seeing each other.
MAGGIE:  That’s ridiculous.
BRIANNA:  Matt and I enjoy each other’s company and you’re just gonna have to get used to it.


BRIANNA TRIES TO WALK OUT, BUT MAGGIE JUMPS IN FRONT OF HER.  


BRIANNA:  Excuse me.  I have work to do.


BRIANNA TRIES TO PUSH PAST HER, BUT MAGGIE GRABS HER ARM AS THEY BEGIN TO STRUGGLE.


MAGGIE:  You bitch!
BRIANNA:  Let me go!
MAGGIE:  I’m gonna make sure Matthew finds out exactly who you are!
BRIANNA:  Let go of me!


MATT BARGES IN.
Matt Crane as Matt Cory


MATT:  Hey!


BRIANNA RUNS TO MATT AFTER MAGGIE LETS HER GO.


BRIANNA:  She’s harassing me.  I should report this to Dr. Mason.
MAGGIE:  Go ahead.  There’s nobody here to corroborate your story.
MATT:  I am.
MAGGIE:  You would do that to me Matt?
MATT:  Leave her alone!
MAGGIE:  She’s manipulating you!  Don’t you see that?
MATT:  Stop with all this...jealousy Maggie!  I’m gonna continue to see Brianna.  I don’t care what you think.


---


CAR - JOHN IS DRIVING SHARLENE.


JOHN:  I gotta make a stop.
SHARLENE:  Stop where?
JOHN:  Somewhere near the Center.  I want you to wait for me there.
SHARLENE:  Hmm you got wondering.
JOHN:  Well it’s a...bit of a surprise.


--


FELICIA:  Come on Rachel you don’t mean that!
RACHEL:  I mean it.  You know what Iris has tried to do to this family for years, and you take her movie deal over what Matthew and Amanda were offering you.
FELICIA:  How could you possibly think that I made this choice to somehow stab you in the back?  That doesn’t even make any sense.
RACHEL:  You don’t even see that Iris made you that offer for the sole purpose of undermining my children and their father’s company, and you went right along with it.
FELICIA:  This is unbelievable!  I didn’t take the deal to hurt your family!  
RACHEL:  As far as I’m concerned, you did...and you’re not welcome in this house again.
FELICIA:  Rachel---
RACHEL:  Get out!


FELICIA SLOWLY WALKS TO THE FRONT DOOR, AND SHE STARTS SWEATING.


---


CHRISTY:  I beg your pardon.
ERIC:  I’m not leaving Bay City mom.
CHRISTY:  Why would you want to stay here?  There’s nothing left for us here.
ERIC:  Speak for yourself.
CHRISTY:  You mean to tell me you wanna stay in this town with these people.  They’re gonna suck the life out of you!  Is that what you want?
ERIC:  I happen to sorta like it here.
CHRISTY:  You don’t like this place anymore than I do.  I’m offering you a way out.  You, me and the baby.
ERIC:  Well there it is.
CHRISTY:  What is that supposed to mean?
ERIC:  Your whole reason for being.  Everything you did.  Blackmailing Grant Harrison to get you out of prison; bringing me here; you getting back in touch with Frankie...all because you wanted to have Cass Winthrop’s baby.
CHRISTY:  It’s not all about this baby.
ERIC:  The hell it isn’t!  You don’t give a damn about me.  It’s all about this baby, and you thought you could just drag me along one more time right?
CHRISTY:  You are my son.  I love you, and I don’t want you to get hurt.  That’s the only thing that’s gonna happen if you stay in Bay City.
ERIC:  I’m building a life mom.  I’m making friends.  I have a job.
CHRISTY:  Friends?  Are you talking about Charlie Harrison?  You only befriended her to get close to...that’s it.  That’s why you wanna stay.  Kirkland Harrison.


ERIC JUST LOOKS AT CHRISTY...


CHRISTY:  What the...are you falling for him?  Son, please, you’ve gotta come with me!  If you think you have a chance with Kirkland you’re in real trouble.  He is not going to love you the way you want.
ERIC:  Don’t say that!
CHRISTY:  And you can’t keep stringing KC Burrell along either!  If she ever finds out your secret, there’s no telling what she might do.
ERIC:  Are you finished?  I thought you were leaving.
CHRISTY:  I’m begging you.  Please come with me.  Please leave me so you can be safe.
ERIC:  You don’t care mom.  All you care about is that baby, so you...and your baby...can get the hell outta my life!  
CHRISTY:  Eric…
ERIC:  Bye mom…
CHRISTY:  You’re gonna wish you listened to me.


---


AT THE CENTER...SHARLENE IS ON HER CELL PHONE SITTING AT A TABLE.


SHARLENE:  I talked to your father.  He seems to want to get in touch with you.  I know...whenever you’re ready.  


SHE LOOKS UP AND NOTICES A FAMILIAR FACE...MITCH.


SHARLENE:  Hey I gotta go.  I love you honey.


SHE PRESSES END CALL AND GREETS MITCH.


SHARLENE:  Hi.  Where have you been?
MITCH:  Went out of town.  
SHARLENE:  Oh.  Some R&R?
MITCH:  Visiting my brother, then I went to see my granddaughter.
SHARLENE:  How are Sam and Jasmine?
MITCH:  Never better.  I kinda wanted to surprise Felicia, so I came back early.
SHARLENE:  I’m sure she’s gonna be very happy to see you.  I’m sure she misses you.
MITCH:  I miss her.  You look stunning.  Why are you sitting here?
SHARLENE:  Waiting for John.  We’re headed out of town for the night.
MITCH:  Mmmm sounds exciting.  Can’t wait to see my wife.  I guess I should head home to see her.
SHARLENE:  Sure.  Well take care.  


THEY GET UP AND HUG.  WHILE THEY ARE HUGGING, FELICIA SEES THEM FROM A SHORT DISTANCE.

GRANT:  And you came to Tops?
CHRISTY:  Your assistant told me you’d be here.
GRANT:  Back to the scene of the crime huh?
CHRISTY:  Why does everyone think I committed a crime?  Besides, the last time I was here I introduced myself and my son to everyone.
GRANT:  You crashed my son’s wedding reception.
CHRISTY:  If that’s how you wanna look at it.  Well I wanted to find you because I have some news.
GRANT:  I already know you’re pregnant.
CHRISTY:  And I’m leaving Bay City...tonight.

MATT:  Whew that was hairy.
AMANDA:  What do you mean?  We’re not out of the woods yet.  We still have to finish convincing Mr. Suzuki that he will get a bigger return when this merger goes through.
MATT:  I know when he’s convinced.  He goes and takes a long break.  When he returns it’ll be short and concise.   He will stay.
AMANDA:  So we wait.
MATT:  We need him.
AMANDA (sighing):  We wouldn’t even be in this position.  We would be working at this hour if…

Victoria Wyndham as Rachel Cory Hutchins

RACHEL:  What did you say?
AMANDA:  Mom hi.
MATT:  Mom.  How long have you been standing there?
RACHEL:  Long enough.  Did you say that Felicia accepted Iris’s offer over yours?
AMANDA:  That’s not what we said…
RACHEL:  I know what I heard Amanda.  After all the work you put in to prepare an offer for her, she took KBAY’s offer?  When was someone going to tell me?


RACHEL TAKES OUT HER CELL PHONE AND MAKES A CALL.


RACHEL:  Felicia it’s Rachel Hutchins.  Can you come over here?  I need to see you.


RACHEL HANGS UP.


AMANDA:  Mom.  Matthew and I don’t have a problem with what Felicia decided.  It was business.
MATT:  Amanda’s right.  Iris offered a very lucrative deal.  There was no way we could’ve matched it.
RACHEL: Well it’s personal to me, and I’m going to talk to her about it.

VICKY:  Your wife?  Did she leave you or something?
BRADLEY:  We just have some...unfinished business.
VICKY:  Hmmm I wonder if I should keep digging...but I won’t.  I’m gonna enjoy this drink.
BRADLEY:  It’s almost like you and your husband.  She was in love with someone else.
VICKY:  Oh no.  I thought I was the only one this happened to.
BRADLEY:  I let her go.  So you said you were in love with someone else?
VICKY:  I loved Jake.  He’s the father of my children, and now we’re...divorced.


VICKY TAKES A SWIG OF HER DRINK…


BRADLEY:  Sorry about that.  You’re a beautiful woman.
VICKY:  Thank you.  You got a room here?

IN THE WINTHROP’S LIVING ROOM, THE LIGHTS ARE DIM.  CASS AND FRANKIE DANCE WHILE "EVERYTHING I DO" BY BRYAN ADAMS" PLAYS SOFTLY IN THE BACKGROUND.  

CASS HAS HIS ARMS AROUND FRANKIE AS SHE LEANS INTO HIS CHEST AND THEY DANCE SLOWLY.


FRANKIE:  I never expected it.
CASS:  A wedding ring?
FRANKIE:  Not tonight anyway.  You are always full of surprises.
CASS:  Well, I love you.  I’ve always loved you.  You were gone for a while.  I married Lila.  She and I made a good life for Charlie and Jasmine, but...it never compared to what we had.  Of all the women…


CASS NOW FACES FRANKIE.


CASS:  It was you.  You gave me Charlie, and a great marriage.  I want us to be married again.
FRANKIE:  All I’ve ever wanted was to be happy with you.  You changed me, too.  You chose me over Kathleen.  
CASS:  We got history don’t we?
FRANKIE:  We sure do.


THEY KISS, THEN CASS PICKS UP FRANKIE, AND CARRIES HER TO THE BEDROOM.  AS CASS WALKS BY CARRYING FRANKIE, SHE LOOKS AT THE FOLDER THAT CONTAINS THE DIVORCE PETITION.

MEANWHILE, AT VICKY’S HOTEL ROOM, SHE RESPONDS TO A KNOCK ON THE DOOR.
 IT’S BRADLEY O’NEILL.  HE IMMEDIATELY ENTERS, THEY START KISSING PASSIONATELY, AND GO STRAIGHT TO THE BED…


--



CHRISTY:  Are you really that happy to see me leave?
GRANT:  Let’s see, you’re blackmailing me, so yes, I hope you boldly go where nobody has gone before.
CHRISTY:  Wow Grant.  If I cared I might be hurt, but I don’t.  I have so much to look forward to.  My son, my baby, and me.  We’re finally gonna be a family.  I plan to set a good example for my child.


CHRISTY TAKES SOMETHING OUT OF HER POCKET AND PUTS IT ON THE BAR.


GRANT:  What is this?
CHRISTY:  I don’t want my child to think that his mother is a blackmailer.
GRANT:  What your baby doesn’t know won’t hurt it.
CHRISTY:  All that connects you to Evan Frame is on this drive.   It’s all yours.  It’s over.


GRANT LOOKS AT CHRISTY WITH AMAZEMENT AS SHE PATS HIM ON HIS LEFT SHOULDER.


CHRISTY:  Thank you for everything.  I’m going to go get my son, and we’re heading south on Route Seventeen, right out of this town.  Good-bye Grant.
