John and Sharlene get news about Taylor
Brianna contemplates another deadly move


PART 1
Kate Mansi as Lindsay Winthrop

Robert Scott Wilson as Gregory Hudson


AT THE HOSPITAL...LINDSAY IS WITH GREGORY IN GREGORY’S ROOM.  LINDSAY SITS AT THE SIDE OF THE BED.


LINDSAY:  I didn’t know what happened.  I wasn’t too happy with you for a while.
GREGORY:  Well you know I wouldn’t just not show up like that.
LINDSAY:  I know.  I doubted you.  I’m sorry.  I must say, though, I’m not sure if you should get behind the wheel of a car again.
GREGORY:  Quite the jokester aren’t we?
LINDSAY:  Yeah...that would be me.  
GREGORY:  I love it.  It wasn’t my fault this time, though.
LINDSAY:  So your dad’s gonna take you home?
GREGORY:  Yep.
LINDSAY:  I can’t believe it.  Someone cut the brake line in your mom’s car though?  Like who would wanna do that?
GREGORY:  It’s weird.  They think Taylor Benson might have something to do with it.
LINDSAY:  But she’s in a mental institution right?
GREGORY:  Yeah...real weird.


BRIANNA WALKS IN…
Wendy Moniz as Brianna/Ellen


BRIANNA:  Hi.
LINDSAY:  Hi I’m Lindsay.
BRIANNA:  Hello.
GREGORY:  This is my wonderful nurse Brianna Jameson.
LINDSAY:  Nice to meet you.
BRIANNA:  Same here.  Are you having any pain?
LINDSAY:  Do you....want me to step out?
GREGORY:  No you can stay.  I’m having some pain in my back.
BRIANNA:  Any numbness, tingling, stiffness?
GREGORY:  None of the above.  Just a little pain.
BRIANNA:  Well a painkiller can take care of that.  I’ll get Dr. Winthrop to prescribe some for you.  
GREGORY:  Thanks.
BRIANNA:  Don’t mention it.

OUTSIDE OF GREGORY’S ROOM...BRIANNA RUNS INTO THOMASINA…
Amelia Marshall as Dr. Thomasina Mason


THOMASINA:  Hi I’m glad I found you.
BRIANNA:  Dr. Mason.
THOMASINA:  I have to conduct an interview for the PR internship.  I was wondering if you can check on my patient.
BRIANNA:  Who?
THOMASINA:  Christy Carson.
BRIANNA:  Consider it done.
THOMASINA:  Thank you so much.  You’ve been such an asset to our team.
BRIANNA:  Just doing my job.
THOMASINA:  See ya later, and thanks again.


BRIANNA SMILES AS THOMASINA LEAVES, THEN BRIANNA TURNS HER SMILE TO A SINISTER FROWN.

Jason Shane Scott as Eric Stenbeck


MEANWHILE, CHRISTY IS LYING IN HER BED WITH HER BACK TO THE DOOR, AND ERIC WALKS IN.


ERIC:  Mom?


CHRISTY TURNS OVER AND SEES ERIC, THEN SHE TURNS BACK OVER TO HER ORIGINAL POSITION.


CHRISTY:  I thought you wanted nothing to do with me.
ERIC:  I came as soon as they called me.  Are you okay?
CHRISTY:  I got in a car accident and lost my baby.  I’m just peachy.
ERIC:  Mom I don’t wanna see you sad like this, and I didn’t want you to get into accident.  
CHRISTY:  But you...wanted me to lose the baby.
ERIC:  No of course not.


CHRISTY TURNS OVER, SITS UP AND FACES ERIC.


CHRISTY:  So you want to...make amends now?
ERIC:  Mom come on.  I’m trying to apologize here.  I said some mean things to you last night.  I’m sorry.  
CHRISTY:  You didn’t even want a little sister or brother.
ERIC:  I...I just want you to...love me.  I didn’t want to be part of some master plan.
CHRISTY:  I do love you!  That’s why I want you to leave.  There’s nothing for you in Bay City.
ERIC:  What about you?  You still wanna leave?
CHRISTY:  Not...quite yet.
ERIC:  Just last night you were pleading with me to go away with you.
CHRISTY:  I’m not leaving until I find out who killed my baby.


-----
David Forsyth as Dr. John Hudson

Anna Kathryn Holbrook as Sharlene Hudson


JOHN AND SHARLENE ARE IN JOHN’S OFFICE.  JOHN IS SITTING AT HIS DESK AND SHARLENE IS SITTING ACROSS FROM HIM.


SHARLENE:  I thought we were rid of that woman.
JOHN:  If you think about it, it really doesn’t make a whole lot of sense.
SHARLENE:  Enlighten me.
JOHN:  Taylor’s been locked up in an institution right?
SHARLENE:  Right?
JOHN:  So you mean to tell me that she escaped, went to our house, cut the brake line, and went back?
SHARLENE:  She could still be on the loose.
JOHN:  It...it just doesn’t add up.
SHARLENE:  I don’t put anything past her.  


BRIANNA WALKS BY AND LISTENS FROM THE OUTSIDE...


SHARLENE:  Taylor’s capable of anything as you know.  
JOHN:  Well the police are looking into it.
SHARLENE (grunts):  Oooooh she’s caused so many problems.  I wish that bitch was dead!

PART 2


ERIC:  Who do you think did it?  How did it happen?
CHRISTY:  I couldn’t see who was driving.  Hit me head on.
ERIC:  You’re lucky you survived.
CHRISTY:  But my baby didn’t.
ERIC:  We’ll...we’ll move on...somehow.
CHRISTY:  Yeah Eric we’ll just...forget that I lost a child.
ERIC:  That’s not what I’m saying…
CHRISTY:  You said you wanted us out of your life.  
ERIC:  I...I didn’t mean that…

CHRISTY LIES BACK DOWN, AND TURNS HER BACK TO ERIC.


CHRISTY:  You can go.  
ERIC:  Mom.
CHRISTY:  Bye.


ERIC STANDS THERE WAITING FOR ANOTHER RESPONSE FROM CHRISTY, BUT REALIZES SHE HAS NOTHING MORE TO SAY, SO HE LEAVES.  BRIANNA WALKS UP TO THE DOOR, WATCHES ERIC WALK AWAY, AND PEEKS IN THROUGH THE LONG RECTANGULAR GLASS IN AT CHRISTY, WHOSE BACK IS TURNED TO THE DOOR.


---


JOHN:  Don’t say that.
SHARLENE:  It’s how I feel, John!  When Taylor was alive, she methodically tried to dismantle our marriage; tried to make me look like an unfit mother, I mean do I need to continue?
JOHN:  Believe me I’m well aware of what Taylor has done to us.
SHARLENE:  I wish she was dead, because as long as she’s alive, she’s a threat to our lives.


JOHN SHAKES HIS HEAD.


JOHN:  No I...for some reason don’t think Taylor did this.
SHARLENE:  She probably didn’t do it herself.
JOHN:  Sharlene---
SHARLENE:  She hired someone to do it.  You know how clever she is.
JOHN:  Come on why would Taylor come after us now..more than twenty years later?
SHARLENE:  Who the hell knows what that crazy bitch is thinking?  I’m not gonna be a sitting duck for her this time.


SHARLENE GRABS HER PURSE AND GETS UP FROM THE CHAIR.


JOHN:  Where are you going?
SHARLENE:  I’m going to find Taylor.
JOHN:  Will you wait a minute?  She may not be in the same institution she was in before.
SHARLENE:  I don’t care what I have to do.  I’m going to put a stop to it!


JOHN GETS UP AND STEPS IN FRONT OF SHARLENE BEFORE SHE CAN LEAVE THE OFFICE.  HE GENTLY PLACES HIS RIGHT HAND ON HER LEFT SHOULDER AND ESCORTS HER TO THE SEAT SHE WAS SITTING IN.


JOHN:  Come on sit down.  Calm down, and think rationally.
SHARLENE:  I can’t.  Gregory could have been killed last night.  This has Taylor written all over it.


DANTE PEEKS THROUGH THE OPEN DOOR.
John DeLuca as Det. Dante Carlino


DANTE:  Can I come in?
JOHN:  Sure.
SHARLENE:  Got any leads on who tampered with my brakes?


DANTE SHUTS THE DOOR.


DANTE:  I tracked the down the institution that Taylor was staying in.
SHARLENE:  So you’re going to go question her right?
DANTE:  No.
JOHN:  Why not?
DANTE:  Because she definitely did not tamper with your brakes.
SHARLENE:  I don’t get it.  She’s the only person who hates me that much to try and kill me.
JOHN:  Wait.  Dante what did you find?
DANTE:  Taylor could not have possibly tampered with the brakes.  She died a few weeks ago.
SHARLENE:  Dead?  Taylor’s...actually dead?  I mean she faked her death once before.  Are you sure that she’s dead?
DANTE:  She had a lot of health problems.  She passed away.
JOHN:  I knew something was off.
SHARLENE:  Well then if it wasn’t Taylor, then who did it?  Who is after me?


----


IN THE LOCKER ROOM, BRIANNA OPENS HER LOCKER, REACHES UP TO THE TOP SHELF AND GRABS A SCALPEL.  SHE PUTS HER LEFT FINGER GENTLY ON THE TIP OF THE SCALPEL, AND TWIRLS IT..


BRIANNA:  Yes Dr. Mason, I will be more than happy to check on the patient.

Marley’s paranoia grows
A mysterious connection is revealed
Henry Simmons as Tyrone Montgomery

Ellen Wheeler as Marley Hudson Montgomery











AT THE MONTGOMERY’S…TYRONE, BARECHESTED, WAKES UP AND SQUINTS HIS EYES.  HE TURNS TO LOOK AT THE OTHER SIDE OF THE BED, WHICH IS EMPTY.  HE LOOKS UP AND SEES MARLEY SITTING IN A CHAIR NEXT TO ROMAN’S BASSINET.


TYRONE:  Marley?  Did you sit there all night?
MARLEY:  I’m watching the baby.  
TYRONE:  You didn’t even come to bed.
MARLEY:  Doesn’t he look so peaceful when he’s sleeping?
TYRONE:  The person who needs sleep is you.  I can go into the office late if you need to rest.
MARLEY:  I’m fine, Tyrone.
TYRONE:  No you’re not.  You’re clearly tired.
MARLEY:  I will not rest until I know Roman is safe.
TYRONE:  He is safe.
MARLEY:  Is he?  Was he safe in the nursery at the hospital?
TYRONE:  I got a security system and an alarm all through the house.  Nobody’s gonna get in or out of here without us knowing it.
MARLEY:  Really?  Do you think a bunch of cameras is gonna stop Reginald from getting to our baby and kidnapping him?
TYRONE:  Your grandfather is not gonna do anything to us or the baby.  Marley you’re gonna be no good to Roman or anyone if you don’t get some sleep.  I can call Donna and Vicky to come and watch the baby.
MARLEY:  I don’t want anyone else here!  I will watch Roman; I will protect him.  I’m gonna make sure my grandfather doesn’t try to kidnap him again.  
TYRONE:  What are you talking about?  Reginald is not going to kidnap our son.
MARLEY:  He can get to him at any time.  Look at what happened at the hospital.  We let our guard for one moment and he will strike.
TYRONE:  So you’re gonna sit up and watch Roman twenty four seven?  You’re not gonna be able to do that.  
MARLEY:  I don’t think you’re taking this as seriously as you need to.
TYRONE:  Marley I...I can’t believe I’m hearing this from you.  You think I don’t wanna protect Roman?
MARLEY:  I don’t know what to think anymore!  
TYRONE:  You’re not thinking at all!  You need to sleep Marley, and I have to go the office.  Let me call Donna and Vicky to come and watch the baby while you sleep...please.


TYRONE GETS A PHONE CALL ON HIS CELL and TURNS HIS BACK TO MARLEY.


TYRONE:  Hey Cass...I should be there in about an hour...No I...I got it...you can take the day off….okay.


TYRONE PRESSES END CALL, TURNS AROUND, AND SEES MARLEY SLEEPING.  HE GENTLY PLACES A NEARBY BLANKET ON HER TO KEEP HER WARM, THEN HE MAKES ANOTHER PHONE CALL.


TYRONE:  Donna.  I need you to come here now.  Call Vicky, too.

PART 2
TYRONE OPENS THE LIVING ROOM DOOR AND IT’S DONNA.


TYRONE:  Come in.
DONNA (walking in):  Is everything okay?  It sounded important.
TYRONE:  It is.  Marley is acting strange.
DONNA:  Really?  How?
TYRONE:  She hasn’t been sleeping lately.  She thinks that if she sits and watches Roman herself that Reginald won’t try to have him kidnapped.
DONNA:  My God.  Wait a minute that’s...I was over here the other day and she wouldn’t let me watch Roman down here while she went upstairs to get a pamper.  He’s really got her scared.  Damn him!  Where is she now?
TYRONE:  She’s sleeping in the nursery with the baby.  Can you guys watch him and makes sure she gets some rest?  I have to get to the office and do some work.
DONNA:  Of course I will.  I texted Victoria and she’ll be here shortly.  You go on.  We’ll take care of Marley and the baby.
TYRONE:  Thank you.


VICKY WALKS IN AND APPROACHES TYRONE AND DONNA.


VICKY:  Hey mom I got your text.  What’s going on?  Is Marley okay?  Is the baby okay?
TYRONE:  I’ll let Donna tell you.  I gotta get outta here.  I’ll be back soon.
DONNA:  Thank you Tyrone for telling us.  


TYRONE WALKS OUT THE DOOR AND VICKY TURNS TO DONNA.


VICKY:  I’m getting worried is everything okay?
DONNA:  Something isn’t right with Marley.
VICKY:  What what’s going on?  
DONNA:  Tyrone says she’s not sleeping.  She thinks that Reginald is going to try and kidnap the baby again.
VICKY:  My God.  
DONNA:  She refuses to leave Roman’s side.  
VICKY:  Well of course she can’t go on like this.  She can’t watch him twenty four hours a day.
DONNA:  Right.  We need to help her get through this.  


MARLEY COMES TO THE TOP OF THE STAIRS CRADLING THE BABY UNSEEN BY DONNA AND VICKY.


VICKY:  Of course we will, especially given her history of mental illness.  Where is she now?
MARLEY:  Right here.  So I guess Tyrone told you everything huh?
DONNA:  Marley honey.  How much did you hear?
MARLEY (coming downstairs):  Enough.
DONNA:  Honey he’s concerned about you and so are we.  Why don’t you let us watch Roman and you go get some rest?
VICKY:  Mom’s right.  You’re not be any good to the baby if you’re not rested.  We’re here to help you.
MARLEY:  Yeah sure you are.  You guys think I’m too crazy to be a mother to my own child.  I heard you Victoria.
VICKY:  Nobody thinks that.
DONNA:  Marley there’s no possible way you can sit up and watch him all day and all night.  Let us take care of you so you can take care of Roman.
VICKY:  We’re not gonna let anything happen to him.
DONNA:  We want to protect him just as much as you and Tyrone do.
MARLEY:  No you don’t.  You wanna take him away from me because of my history don’t you?
VICKY:  That’s not the case at all.
MARLEY:  The hell it isn’t!  Well I don’t need you to tell me how to love and protect my baby!


ROMAN STARTS CRYING AND MARLEY GENTLY ROCKS HIM.


MARLEY:  Shh shh shh shh shh it’s gonna be alright Roman.  Mommy’s here.  Mommy’s always going to protect you.  Look what you’ve done.  You woke him up.
VICKY:  Come on Marley.  Let us watch him for a while.  Just for a couple of hours while you get some sleep.
MARLEY:  Not a chance.  In fact, both of you can leave.  You can call Tyrone and tell him I’m fine because I don’t need you here.

AT THE WINTHROPS, CASS WAKES UP IN THEIR BEDROOM AND NOTICES FRANKIE IS GONE.  HE GETS UP AND PUTS A ROBE ON.


CASS:  Frankie!  I was hoping you were making me breakfast but I don’t smell anything cooking.


CASS WALKS OUT TO THE LIVING ROOM AND SEES NOBODY.


CASS:  Hmmm.  Where did you go Frankie?


----


AT TYRONE AND CASS’S PRACTICE, TYRONE IS SITTING AT HIS DESK ON HIS COMPUTER WHEN FRANKIE WALKS IN WITH AN ENVELOPE.


FRANKIE:  Hey Tyrone.
TYRONE:  Frankie hey.  Are you looking for Cass?  
FRANKIE:  No Cass was sleeping when I left.  
TYRONE:  Hey..what’s that thing on your finger?
FRANKIE:  Cass proposed to me last night.
TYRONE:  And you accepted right?
FRANKIE:  Of course I did.


FRANKIE RUMMAGES THROUGH HER PURSE, TAKES OUT A DOLLAR, AND SHOWS IT TO TYRONE.


FRANKIE:  Here take this.
TYRONE:  If I didn’t know any better I’d think that you’re trying to hire me as your lawyer.  
FRANKIE:  I am.
TYRONE:  Why don’t you ask Cass?  Unless there’s...something you don’t want him to know about?
FRANKIE:  You’re too smart for your own good counselor.


FRANKIE GIVES TYRONE THE ENVELOPE.  HE TAKES OUT THE CONTENTS AND READS THEM.


TYRONE:  What?  A divorce decree?  Who’s Francesca O’Neill?


FRANKIE JUST LOOKS AT TYRONE.


TYRONE:  You?  What?  I don’t understand.
FRANKIE:  My daughter has been asking me where I’ve been all these years after I left Bay City.  I’ve been married...to Bradley O’Neill.  I had no memory of who I was.  


TYRONE PUTS THE PAPERS IN HIS DESK DRAWER.


TYRONE:  Wow.  Well I’ll file these right away.  Have you told...no...you didn’t.  Frankie you can’t start things off like that.  Secrets have a way of coming out.
FRANKIE:  Cass can’t know about any of this.  I can’t do that to him.
TYRONE:  Well you know we have to find Bradley O’Neill.  If we don’t it could delay this whole process.  Do you think he’s gonna contest it?
FRANKIE:  No he won’t.

FRANKIE TAKES A POST IT NOTE,  WRITES BRADLEY’S ADDRESS ON IT, AND GIVES IT TO TYRONE.


FRANKIE:  You should find him here.  
TYRONE:  I’ll move as quickly as possible.  
FRANKIE:  Thank you so much.  
TYRONE:  Frankie, you have to tell Cass the truth.  
FRANKIE:  I will tell him everything about Bradley, but not until after the divorce.
