IN THIS EPISODE - Charlie gets a pleasant surprise; Felicia and Rachel catch up; Frankie has another premonintion
 
PREVIOUSLY ON ANOTHER WORLD
·         Felicia was lured to Christy Carson’s suite, where Christy terrorized Felicia with a gun and forced her to down Flurazepam and vodka.  Christy blamed Felicia for causing her miscarriage.  Cass and Frankie found Felicia in time
·         Michele broke into the BCMC mainframe and switched Bridget’s negative chlamydia test with someone else’s positive test.  This false reading lead to Bridget and Cory’s breakup.  During a heated argument, Bridget collapsed and it was discovered she had a severe allergic reaction to the antibiotic that was prescribed to her for the S.T.I. (that she never had).  It was discovered that Bridget never had chlamydia
 
 
PART 1
 
AT THE CORYS, FELICIA RINGS THE DOORBELL AND RACHEL ANSWERS.

Rachel Cory Hutchins


Felicia Gallant Blake
Felicia Gallant Blake
 
RACHEL:  Felicia!  What a pleasant surprise!  Come on in.
 
FELICIA WALKS IN AND RACHEL SHUTS THE DOOR BEHIND HER.
 
RACHEL:  Hilda’s on vacation.  Can I get you something?
 
FELICIA SITS DOWN.
 
FELICIA:  No I don’t need anything.  Wait a minute, Hilda’s retiring soon isn’t she?
RACHEL:  As a matter of fact she is.  Going to miss her work.
FELICIA:  Are you looking for a replacement?
RACHEL:  Well the kids are all grown up.  We probably don’t even need a housekeeper anymore.
FELICIA:  This is a big house.  You might want to rethink that idea.
RACHEL:  I’ve got so many other things on my mind.   Finding a new housekeeper is the last thing on my mind. 
FELICIA:  I completely understand. 
RACHEL:  Why?  What’s going on?
FELICIA:  Dante came by my suite.
RACHEL:  Dante?  Was it police business?
FELICIA:  He said he could not bring charges against Christy.
RACHEL:  So she just gets to go free after what she did to you?
FELICIA:  It sure looks like it.  But that’s not even biggest part.  I’m always wondering if she’s gonna try and hurt Lorna, Jenna or Devin.
RACHEL:  If it makes you feel better, Devin can stay here and I can hire extra security.
 
OUTSIDE OF THE CORYS, SOMEONE APPROACHES THE FRONT DOOR AND SEES FELICIA AND RACHEL THROUGH THE RECTANGULAR GLASS ON THE RIGHT OF THE DOOR.
 
-----------------------------------------------------
 
AT THE WINTHROP’S, CASS WALKS INTO THE LIVING ROOM DRESSED IN HIS SUIT AND CARRYING HIS BRIEFCASE.  HE PLACES IT NEXT TO THE COUCH.  FRANKIE WALKS IN FROM THE OUTSIDE.
 
Cass Winthrop

Frankie Frame


CASS:  Hey where did you go?
FRANKIE:  Checked the mail.  I’m expecting something.
CASS:  There hasn’t been mail here in three days.
FRANKIE:  I don’t know what’s going on?. Are you uh…going to court today…to file the suit?
CASS:  Yeah I am.  I have to be honest I’m really nervous about this. 
FRANKIE:  Charlie said she wanted you to do it.  I’m headed over that way.  Maybe you could hold off on the filing and I’ll talk to her?
CASS:  How is she feeling?
FRANKIE:  I called her and she said she’s feeling better, but I’m gonna go check on her anyway.
CASS:  That’s a good idea.  Let me know how it goes.  I’ll see you later.
 
THEY KISS AND CASS WALKS OUT THE DOOR.  FRANKIE NOTICES SOMETHING.
 
FRANKIE:  Cass you forgot your…
 
FRANKIE PICKS UP THE BRIEFCASE AND HEARS FAINT CHANTS AND A GUNSHOT.  FRANKIE GATHERS HERSELF AND CASS WALKS BACK IN.
 
FRANKIE:  I was gonna bring this out to you.
CASS:  Thank you honey.  Can’t do much without my files.
FRANKIE:  I’ll call ya later.

AT KIRKLAND’S SUITE, CHARLIE WALKS AROUND.
Kirkland Harrison

Charlie Winthrop Harrison


 
KIRKLAND:  Glad you’re feeling better babe.
CHARLIE:  Much better than yesterday that’s for sure, but I’m gonna rest for now.
KIRKLAND:  I’m gonna go out to see my dad.  Do you need anything while I’m gone?
CHARLIE:  No actually um…thank you.
KIRKLAND:  You’re not gonna be alone though. 
CHARLIE:  Why not?
KIRKLAND:  Wellllll I made a couple of phone calls and…they should be here any minute.
 
THERE’S A KNOCK ON THE DOOR.
 
KIRKLAND:  That should be them.
 
KIRKLAND OPENS THE DOOR AND IT’S LILA AND JASMINE.
 
Jasmine Cory

Lila Roberts


CHARLIE:  OH MY GOD!! 
 
LILA AND JASMINE WALK IN.
 
LILA:  Hey Kirkland. 
JASMINE:  Thanks for inviting us.
 
CHARLIE GETS OUT OF BED AND HUGS THEM.
 
CHARLIE:  It’s so good to see you guys!   Even though you couldn’t make it to my wedding.
LILA:  You know I wasn’t feelin’ that well and Jasmine was in school.
CHARLIE:  You’re here now.  That’s all that matters.  This is the best! 
LILA:  Well you got a good husband. 
JASMINE:  We came right over as soon as he called.
KIRKLAND:  Well I…I gotta get going. 
LILA:  We’ll take good care of her.
KIRKLAND:  I know.  See you guys later.
 
KIRKLAND LEAVES AND SHUTS THE DOOR.
 
CHARLIE:  So what is going on with you guys?   When did you guys get here? 
LILA:  Bout a couple weeks ago.
CHARLIE:  And you are JUST getting around to come see me?
JASMINE:  We were coming we just…
CHARLIE:  Just what?
 
JASMINE LOOKS AT LILA.
 
LILA:  What did I do?
JASMINE:  Mom it’s just us now.  Tell Charlie why you wanted to come back.
 
 --------------------------------------

AT DONNA’S SUITE…
Michele McKinnon

Donna Love


 
MICHELE: A mental institution?  You’re trying to make me look like I’m crazy.
DONNA:  No we’re not honey.  After what you’ve done, getting help might be the best thing.
VICKY:  She was getting treatment from Dr. Bingham at the hospital.  She doesn’t need to be at some inpatient facility!
JAKE:  Did you go see Dr. Bingham to one up your sister?
PAULINA:  I can’t believe what you’re saying to her!
MICHELE:  You just think the worst of me don’t you dad?
JAKE:  That’s not it.
VICKY:  Sounds like it to me!
Vicky Hudson

Jake McKinnon


 
CORY WALKS UP TO MICHELE.
 
MICHELE:  Cory.  Please I can explain everything.
CORY:  Is this true?  You switched those tests?
BRIDGET:  Yeah she did. 
MICHELE:  Bridget flaunted in my face that you two slept together and posted stuff on social media about me---
CORY:  I can’t believe this.  I don’t even know who you are anymore.
MICHELE:  It’s still me.  I’m still the girl you dated in high school.
 
CORY SHAKES HIS HEAD.
 
Cory Hutchins


CORY:  No you’re…you’re a totally different person.  I…I gotta get outta here.
 
CORY WALKS AWAY AND MICHELE RUNS UP BEHIND BUT STOPS.
 
MICHELE:  Cory!  Cory don’t leave!  NO!  Don’t go please.
BRIDGET:  Look what you’ve done.  You’ve lost everything.  And if you don’t give me your answer, you’ll lose your freedom, too.
 
MICHELE TURNS AROUND AND FACES BRIDGET.
 
CAMERA PAN ON BRIDGET.  SLOW FADE OUT.  END OF PART 1






------------------

 
 
PART 2
 
LILA:  Oh Jazz I ain’t gon’ get into all that right now.
CHARLIE:  Is everything okay?  Are you…oh no.
LILA:  No it’s nothin’ like that.  I’m fine.
JASMINE:  She’s not sick.  It’s about Cass.
CHARLIE:  Dad?  Why?  You guys were married for a while.  You…want my dad back?
LILA:  Don’t listen to Jasmine.  It’s not like that at all.  I know your daddy is gonna marry your mama.  I didn’t come back here to stand in their way.
CHARLIE:  So after all this time, you’re just visiting? 
LILA:  Look I came back because Jasmine wanted to come back.
JASMINE:  Oh come on mom….
LILA:  Jasmine has all her family here.  She wanted to see her grandparents and her daddy.
CHARLIE:  Are you sure that’s all?
JASMINE:  It’s not---
LILA:  Yes it is!  I’m really just along for the ride.  Jasmine aren’t you happy to see your family.
JASMINE:  Lila blames your mother for breaking up her marriage to Cass.
LILA:  Jasmine Rachel Cassandra Cory you hush!
CHARLIE:  I felt like it was something like that.  You and dad started arguing a lot and then you got a divorce.
LILA:  Look I’m not trying to bad mouth your mama but…your daddy never got over her, and that’s what broke up our marriage.  She really didn’t do anything.
CHARLIE:  My parents love each other deeply, but it doesn’t mean that they don’t have their faults…or secrets.
LILA:  What do you mean by that?
CHARLIE:  I asked my mom where she was all of those years after she left Bay City and she got defensive.
 
SOMEONE KNOCKS ON THE DOOR.
 
CHARLIE:  I wonder who that is.
LILA:  I’ll get it.
 
LILA OPENS THE DOOR AND IT’S FRANKIE.
 
 
FELICIA:  Thank you so much but that won’t be necessary.
RACHEL:  I can’t see how the police can’t charge Christy after what she did.
FELICIA:  Dante said he didn’t have enough evidence.  She covered her tracks very well.
RACHEL:  I’m so sorry.
FELICIA:  Don’t be I…I just want her off the streets.  I can’t feel safe until she is.
RACHEL:  I understand.  Maybe I can make a few calls.
FELICIA:  No.  I’m just gonna have to buy protection.  I haven’t forgotten how to handle a gun.
RACHEL:  I hope they find her soon.  Just for your peace of mind at least.
FELICIA:  I’m sorry I came here and dumped this on you.
RACHEL:  No it’s no problem at all.  Since Christy didn’t leave any evidence for them to charge her, do you think she had some help?
FELICIA:  John seems to think so.
RACHEL:  John?  What does he have to do with this?
FELICIA:  The prescription was written in my name, and authorized by John.
RACHEL:  Are you serious?  Do you really John would write a prescription for you without your approval?
FELICIA:  You see that’s just it.  I don’t know what to believe about this.
RACHEL:  John would never deliberately put you in harm’s way.
FELICIA:  Dante said that someone that looked like me picked up the prescription.
RACHEL:  That had to have been Christy wearing a disguise or something.
FELICIA:  Or someone else doing it for her.  Anyway they couldn’t identify her.
RACHEL:  Christy couldn’t have covered all of her bases that well.  Someone out there knows what she did and is not coming forward.
FELICIA:  John said that someone broke into his doctor portal and authorized the prescription.  RACHEL:  Does he think it was Christy?
FELICIA:  I don’t believe he does, and if it wasn’t her, this person is the one who Christy was working with.
 
 
FRANKIE:  Lila.
LILA:  Hi Frankie.  Charlie’s right in here.
FRANKIE WALKS IN AND LILA SHUTS THE DOOR.
 
FRANKIE:  Hi Jasmine.
JASMINE:  Hi Frankie.
CHARLIE:  Mom I wasn’t expecting you.
FRANKIE:  You look better than you were yesterday.
CHARLIE:  I definitely feel better.  Kirkland called Lila and Jasmine to come and lift my spirits.
LILA:  I’m glad we could help.
CHARLIE:  Hey uh…I wanna talk to my mom for a bit.  I’ll catch up with you guys later.  I’m so happy you came over.
 
LILA AND JASMINE HUG CHARLIE AS FRANKIE LOOKS AT THEM.
 
JASMINE:  You better.
CHARLIE:  You know it.
LILA:  Take it easy. 
JASMINE:  Bye Frankie.
FRANKIE:  Hey.  Thank you guys for…being there for my daughter.
LILA:  Anytime.
 
LILA AND JASMINE LEAVE AND FRANKIE TURNS TO CHARLIE.
 
FRANKIE:  Wow.  You guys were really close weren’t you?
CHARLIE:  We were a family mom.  Dad, Lila, Jasmine and me.
FRANKIE:  I’m so happy that you had them, and Lila was the mother I couldn’t be to you.
CHARLIE:  I know about Lila, but I don’t know about you.
FRANKIE:  What are you talking about?
CHARLIE:  Look I know you’re gonna get defensive but I gotta know why you stayed away for auch a long time.
 
FRANKIE SITS DOWN.
 
FRANKIE:  I’m…not gonna get defensive.  I’m gonna tell you the truth.
 
 
MICHELE:  You think you have all the leverage don’t you? 
BRIDGET:  I do.
MICHELE:  That’s all you wanted wasn’t it?  I don’t care about your threats.  Call the police.
 
MARLEY STEPS IN BETWEEN THEM.
 
MARLEY:  No.  Michele, let’s talk in private…please.
 
END OF PART 2

----------------------------------------------------------------

CONCLUSION
 
KIRKLAND WALKS UP TO GRANT’S DOOR AND GETS A PHONE CALL FROM AN UNKNOWN NUMBER.
 
KIRKLAND:  Hello?  Hello?  It’s you isn’t it?  Hello?  Hello?
 
THE CALLER HANGS UP AND GRANT OPENS THE DOOR.
 
GRANT:  It’s you.  I thought I heard something out here.
 
KIRKLAND WALKS IN AND GRANT SHUTS THE DOOR.
Grant Harrison


 
GRANT:  Thank you for coming.
KIRKLAND:  It sounded urgent.  Is everything okay?
GRANT:  No.  Not at all.  It’s about dad.
 
 ---------------------------------------

DONNA:  This is reminding me of your mother and your Aunt Marley after the fire.
BRIDGET:  This is a bit different.
JAKE:  No it’s very much the same, and we don’t want you to go down that same road.
VICKY:  I could have sent Marley to prison but I forgave her.
BRIDGET:  Is that what you’re telling me to do mom?  Forgive Michele for what she did? 
PAULINA:  This thing that you have going on with Michele has torn this family to shreds.  Somebody’s gotta break the cycle.  Why not let it be you?
 
----------------------------------------
 
MARLEY:  You should take Bridget’s offer. 
MICHELE:  Why should I?  So she can hold it over me?
MARLEY:  This isn’t a competition.  She’s your sister and it sounds like she wants to keep you out of jail.
MICHELE:  Well I’m not giving her the satisfaction.
MARLEY:  Your mother could have done the same to me. 
MICHELE:  I heard the story Aunt Marley.
MARLEY:  No I don’t think you did.  I did some terrible things to her. 
MICHELE:  I know what you did.
MARLEY:  And she forgave me, and we’re in a better place.  I got help.  I went to a mental institution and everything was better after that. 
MICHELE:  So you’re telling me to…get help.
MARLEY:  You’ll get help in dealing with your anger.  It’s only gonna get worse if you don’t, and I know deep down you don’t want to hurt her, not to mention keep yourself out of jail.  If your mom and I are in a better place after what I did, then you and Bridget get to the same place, but you’ve gotta get help first.

A FEW MINUTES LATER, MARLEY AND MICHELE WALK BACK INTO THE LIVING ROOM. 
 
MICHELE:  You don’t have to call the cops Bridget.  I’ll take the alternative.

·         The Love/Hudson family is torn apart
·         Felicia confronts John
 
PART 1
 
JAKE TAKES THE PAPER OUT OF THE ENVELOPE.
 
JAKE:  This is a document from the hospital.  The switch occurred the day after Bridget’s test.
BRIDGET:  And my test was negative.
DONNA:  Michele?  Is this true?
 
VICKY WALKS OVER TO MICHELE AND PUTS HER RIGHT ARM ON MICHELE’S LEFT SHOULDER.
 
VICKY:  This is so ridiculous!   Of course she didn’t switch those tests!
BRIDGET:  You can take her side all you want mom, but the truth is the truth.  Michele switched my tests, didn’t you?
 
MICHELE’S EYES WELL UP WITH TEARS.  KC INTERJECTS.
 
KC:  Hey maybe you guys should go and talk about in private.
BRIDGET:  No.  This is perfect.
ALLEN:  I don’t think you really want to humiliate your sister.
BRIDGET:  She did it to herself.
JAKE:  Michele, please tell us the truth…
VICKY:  She didn’t DO anything!
JAKE:  Let her tell us.  I’ll ask you again, did you switch those tests?
 
MICHELE SOBS.
 
MICHELE:  YES!  OKAY!  I switched the tests!
 
DONNA WALKS UP TO MICHELE.
 
DONNA:  Oh my God.  Are you sure about this?
ALLEN:  Um, I think you guys need to talk about this without us here.
KC:  Yeah I think we should leave.
DONNA:  I’m so sorry.
ALLEN:  No no no.  Go ahead and handle it.
DONNA:  Thank you for coming.
KC:  We’ll see ya.
 
ALLEN AND KC LEAVE AS VICKY WALKS UP TO MICHELE AND PUTS HER ARMS AROUND MICHELE’S SHOULDERS.
 
VICKY:  There’s got to be some mistake.  I can’t believe you’re accusing her of this.
BRIDGET:  There you go mom taking her side again.
 
VICKY TURNS AROUND AND FACES BRIDGET.
 
VICKY:  You just refuse to take responsibility for your part in all of this!
MICHELE:  No mom.  I did it.  I switched the tests.

----------------------------------------------------------------
 
 
AT THOMASINA’S, THOMASINA WALKS IN WITH A PLASTIC BAG FULL OF FOOD.
 
THOMASINA:  Hey Aunt Lily I stopped at the store and got those shortbread cookie squares that you like. 
 
THOMASINA SHUTS THE DOOR AND WALKS TO THE COUCH, WHERE LILY IS LYING DOWN WITH A SMILE ON HER FACE.
 
THOMASINA:  You must be in a deep sleep.
 
SOMEONE KNOCKS ON THE DOOR AND THOMASINA ANSWERS IT.  IT’S JOY.
 
THOMASINA:  Hey girl.
JOY:  Heyyyy. 
THOMASINA:  How was the party?
JOY:  Depends on who you ask?
THOMASINA:  Uh oh.  Did something happen?
JOY:  Oh something definitely happened.  For me, it was a great night.
 
JOY HOLDS OUT HER LEFT HAND.
 
THOMASINA:  Oh my God.  He…he…
JOY:  Yes he sure did.  Steven asked me to be his wife.  I came to share the news with mom.
THOMASINA:  Well you might have to wait til she wakes up.  She looks like she’s sleeping peacefully.
 
THEY BOTH LOOK AT LILY.
 
JOY:  And whatever she’s having in that dream, I want it with that smile she’s got on her face.
 
----------------------------------------
 
AT THE CENTER, FELICIA IS SITTING AT A TABLE WHEN JOHN SITS ACROSS FROM HER.
 
FELICIA:  Thank you for meeting me.
JOHN: it sounded urgent.  How are you doing?
FELICIA:  If how I was doing depended on capturing Christy, then I’m not well.
JOHN:  Do they have any leads?
FELICIA:  Dante came to the suite and told us they didn’t have enough evidence to arrest her.
JOHN:  That’s ridiculous.  How could that be?
FELICIA:  Christy covered her tracks. 
JOHN:  Do they at least know where she is?  As long as she’s out there she’s still a threat.
FELICIA:  No they don’t.  I mean not only am I in danger, but Lorna, Jenna and Devin are, too.
JOHN:  Is there anything that Sharlene and I can do?
FELICIA:  And that leads to why I called you.
JOHN:  I came right away.  What’s going on?
FELICIA:  Dante said that you prescribed Flurazepam to me, so what you can do is answer this question for me, why the HELL did you do that?
 
--------------------------------------------------
 
AT A HOTEL ROOM, BRADLEY IS ON HIS CELL PHONE WITH HIS NEPHEW COLIN.
 
BRADLEY:  Come on man, I thought you loved living with your mom and Josh…well if you’re in their house, you gotta follow their rules…
 
BRADLEY ROLLS HIS EYES.
 
BRADLEY (Continuing):  Colin we’ve been over this.  I told you it’s not a good idea for you to come to Bay City, and you know why.  Besides, your mom’s not gonna let you.  I have an appointment at the hospital tomorrow.  Hopefully they’ll tell me what I wanna hear…Yes I made a friend.  Her name’s Vicky. 
 
 ------------------------------

VICKY TURNS AROUND AND WALKS UP TO JAKE.
 
VICKY:  How could you do this? 
PAULINA:  That’s what I’ve been asking him.
DONNA:  You knew about this?
PAULINA:  I’ve been telling him how wrong this is.
JAKE:  Listen I don’t care what you think.  I’m tired of seeing my girls fight.  All this back and forth for months.  I’m SICK of it!
VICKY:  You humiliate your OWN daughter in front of everyone!
BRIDGET:  Isn’t that what you did at the memorial service?
DONNA:  My GOD will everyone just STOP IT!  When is this family gonna get it together? 
BRIDGET:  Don’t worry grandma.  We will be fine once Michele is held accountable for what she’s done.
 
MICHELE WALKS UP TO BRIDGET SLOWLY.
 
MICHELE:  So what are you gonna do?  You’re gonna call the police?  You’re gonna make me go to jail?  CALL EM!  CALL THE DAMNED COPS I DON’T CARE!
BRIDGET:  No.  We’re not involving the authorities.
 
CAMERA PAN ON BRIDGET.  END OF PART 1



-------------------------- 
 
PART 2
 
THOMASINA AND JOY ARE SITTING AT THE DINING ROOM TABLE.
 
THOMASINA:  You look really happy.  It’s great to see.
JOY:  I don’t think I’ve ever felt this feeling in my life.  It’s almost as if I’m floating through the air.
THOMASINA:  I’m so happy for you.  You really love him don’t you?
JOY:  Yes he…Steven is the one for me you know?   He’s not perfect.  He thinks he’s right all the time.
THOMASINA:  Probably because he’s a doctor.
JOY:  But if that’s the only problem I have, then I’ll take it.  He’s kind, compassionate, considerate, not to mention handsome.
THOMASINA:  That certainly helps.
JOY:  Oh does it ever, especially in the bed….wait a minute why am I talking to YOU about this?
THOMASINA:  You’re not a little girl anymore.
JOY: But you raised me.  You’re practically like my mom you know?
THOMASINA:  Your mother is sleeping on that couch.  It was a privilege to raise you, and it warms my heart to see you engaged to the man of your dreams.
 
JOY GETS UP AND TAKES FIVE STEPS TOWARD LILY, WHO IS LYING ON THE COUCH.
 
JOY:  You see that’s just it.  Dreams feel so good when you’re in them, but then you wake up to reality.  You know all the mistakes I’ve made in my life.  I don’t wanna mess this up with Steven.
THOMASINA:  Don’t put that into the atmosphere.  You’re not gonna screw up.  Don’t wait for the other shoe to drop, because often times it will.
 
JOY TURNS AROUND TO FACE THOMASINA.
 
JOY:  It’s almost like it’s too good to be true.  This man wants to marry me.  ME.
THOMASINA:  Don’t talk like you’re not worthy.  You ARE worthy of love I don’t care how many mistakes you've made.  Stop thinking that YOU’RE the only one’s that’s lucky.  He is, too. 
JOY:  For the first time in my life, everything seems to be falling into place.  Steven asked me to marry him, and mom and I are in a great place. 
 
JOY TURNS AROUND AND LOOKS AT LILY.
 
JOY:  But she must in some kind of deep sleep because that smile is still on her face.
 
THOMASINA BECOMES CONCERNED, GETS UP AND SEES LILY.
 
THOMASINA:  Really? 
 
THOMASINA GOES AND CHECKS ON LILY.
 
THOMASINA:  Aunt Lily?  Wake up.  Joy’s here. 
 
LILY DOESN’T MOVE.
 
THOMASINA:  Aunt Lily?  Aunt Lily?
 
THOMASINA NUDGES LILY, BUT LILY STILL HAS A SMILE ON HER FACE.  THOMASINA CHECKS HER PULSE.
 
JOY:  What’s going on?
THOMASINA:  There’s no pulse.
JOY:  What? 
 
THOMASINA PUTS HER FOREFINGER UNDERNEATH LILY’S NOSTRILS.
 
THOMASINA:  And she’s not breathing. 
JOY:  I mean she’s…no…she’s smiling.  She can’t be…all this time we were here.
THOMASINA:  When I left she was going to lie down on the couch.  She must have passed away before I got back. 
 
JOY’S EYES WELL UP WITH TEARS.
 
JOY:  Just the other day I forgave her and…
THOMASINA:  That must have given her the peace that she needed…to go home.
 
JOY AND THOMASINA LOOK AT LILY.
 
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
JOHN:  There’s no WAY I prescribed that to you without your PCP’s authorization.
FELICIA:  Dante showed me everything.  The pills were prescribed to me and it listed you as the prescribing physician.  Now you’re telling that you DIDN’T do it.  How stupid do you think I am?  And why would you even do something that to me?
JOHN:  I swear to you I didn’t authorize that prescription.  Someone broke into my doctor portal at the hospital. 
FELICIA:  Are you sure that nobody else had access to it?
JOHN:  No.  They’re completely secure.
FELICIA:  Apparently not if someone can break into it that easily.
JOHN:  You said Christy forced you to take the pills right?
FELICIA:  At gunpoint.
JOHN:  Why would Christy need ME to prescribe flurazepam?  She could have gotten any doctor to do it.  Why me?
FELICIA:  Either she did it herself…
JOHN:  No Christy couldn’t have done it.  Someone at the hospital helped her.
FELICIA:  So who could she have been working with?
JOHN:  I don’t know, but I’m gonna find out.
 
NEARBY, BEHIND A BUSH, SOMEONE IS WATCHING THEM.
 
------------------
 
BRADLEY IS ON HIS CELL PHONE WITH HIS NEPHEW COLIN.
 
BRADLEY:  She looks like who?  Annie?  You don’t even know who Annie is…I guess your mother told you about her.  Vicky may look like Annie but trust me she’s nothing like her.  She’s been a pleasant surprise.  This isn’t about me okay and the answer is still no.  You can’t come to Bay City.
 
----------------------------
 
JAKE:  I actually think that’s a good idea.
VICKY:  I don’t believe for a minute you’re gonna just sweep this under the rug.
BRIDGET:  No I’m not.
MICHELE:  Don’t draw this out any further.  Call the damned cops and put me in jail.
BRIDGET:  No you can’t get the help you need in there.
MICHELE:  What are you talking about?  You think I’m crazy?
DONNA:  Bridget what exactly are you getting at?  If you’re not gonna turn her into the cops then what’s your solution?
BRIDGET:  I’ll give that to you in a second, but there’s one thing that Michele has to do first.  You’re gonna have to tell everyone in here what you did at the hospital.
MICHELE:  What do you mean?
BRIDGET:  Don’t act like you don’t know what I’m talking about!  You know exactly what you did it and why you did it! 
 
END OF PART 2
 
--------------------------------------------
 
CONCLUSION
 
BRIDGET:  Oh you’ve conveniently forgotten.  I’ll tell you what happened.
 
MICHELE FLASHES BACK (EPISODE 191)
 
Michele turns around, and walks to the counter slowly.  She secretly grabs a pair of gauze scissors and starts digging them into her left arm until she draws blood.
Michele:  I was going to Harvard, but of course, you wanted to sabotage that by stealing my acceptance letter.  If I didn’t respond in time, I would have gone on their lonnnng waiting list.  
Bridget:  Look I know what I did was wrong, it took me a long time to forgive myself for it.
Michele:  My brain injury; spiking Cory’s drink at the prom; kissing him at the wedding; the fact that I have to learn how to read again..and you somehow made it...about you forgiving yourself.  How fitting.
Bridget:  Cory helped me to come to terms with what happened.
Michele:  Cory?  Ha!  Not only are you a selfish bitch, you’re a manipulative bitch, too.
Bridget:  You have every right to be angry.
Michele:  You’re damned right I do.
Bridget:  But I’m not gonna sit by and watch you carry out whatever it is you’re plotting.
Michele:  I don’t care what you try to do sis, because you are going to pay for what you’ve done.
Bridget:  You need help.
Michele:  The only one who’s gonna need help...is you.
Vicky knocks on the door asking if Michele is in there and suddenly…
Michele:  Bridget stop it!  Mom help!  Don’t hurt me!
Bridget:  What?  I’m not doing anything!
 
MICHELE FLASHES BACK TO THE PRESENT.  DONNA GENTLY PLACES HER LEFT HAND ON MICHELE’S RIGHT SHOULDER.
 
DONNA:  My God.  Michele honey did you really do that?
BRIDGET:  Tell the truth Michele, or I WILL call the cops.
MICHELE (crying):  I did.  I cut myself on purpose.  I wanted…to turn mom against you.
VICKY:  Oh God. 
 
MICHELE TURNS TO VICKY.
 
MICHELE:  Mom please I’m so sorry.
VICKY:  Honey we…it’s alright.  But I think we need to get you some help.
BRIDGET:  And that’s exactly what my solution is.  If you commit yourself to a mental health facility, then I won’t call the cops.
