Scene 1
It’s evening time in Genoa City. At the Fishers’ Apartment, Kevin Fisher and his amnesiac wife Jana Hawkes Fisher are discussing Jana’s past. Jana reacts after the revelation that she is a murderer. “I still can’t believe it… that I took someone’s life,” Jana confesses, her face full of horror. “Jana, listen to me. You had a brain tumor at the time,” Kevin tries to reassure her, “It made you act in certain ways, do things that you wouldn’t have normally done.” Jana isn’t listening. “Who was it? How did it happen?” she demands, “I need to know what I did, and why…” Kevin takes a deep breath. “Her name was Carmen Mesta,” he begins, “She worked at Jabot and then Newman. She was some PR consultant, or something.” “Why did I… um, you know… kill her?” Jana asks. “She was… a regular at the Coffee House,” Kevin states, “Your father, he was looking for a piece of art work. You stole Victoria Newman’s art portfolio, thinking it might hold some clues for you… you know, about how to find the artefact. It was called the Grugeon Reliquary. Does that name ring a bell?” “No,” Jana says softly. She changes the subject.
“You mentioned something… about a brain tumor…,” Jana says as a statement, although she means it as a question. “The tumor is what caused you to act that way,” Kevin assures her, “It’s the only reason you killed Carmen. You had no self-control because of it.” “How -- how did they know it was the tumor?” Jana stutters, “What if I really was a… I can’t even say it… a killer?” “You see! I told you you didn’t wanna know about that part of your life,” Kevin says, “This is what I was trying to protect you from. Damn it! Why did I tell you?” “Because I asked you to,” Jana tell, “I just didn’t expect… I couldn’t prepare myself for what you would tell me.” “Believe me, you have beaten yourself up over it enough. It’s all you could think about when you were in jail, how you killed an innocent person,” Kevin recalls, “You did everything you could to make up for it. You even, you wrote a letter to Carmen’s family apologizing for what you did.” “What I did. That’s right - I still did it. And an apology, that didn’t bring their daughter back,” Jana states, “Why am I even out of prison? My God, I should have been locked up for life.”
Scene 2
At Devon Hamilton’s Rent House, Devon and his girlfriend Roxanne Porter are lying in bed in Devon’s room. Devon plays with her hair. “You don’t have any regrets about staying in Genoa City, do you?” he asks. “None,” Roxanne answers confidently, “I’m right where I need to be. This is where I feel at home… I mean, the job at the Boutique, I know it wasn’t the most ideal choice. But it’ll help keep me occupied for now, and more importantly, earning some money. Then I’ll find something else close by.” “I could ask my dad if there’s anything open at Chancellor Industries,” Devon suggests, “You could be a personal assistant or… or something. “Thanks, but I do wanna feel like I earned whatever job I get,” Roxanne admits, “For now, I’m happy with Fenmore’s… because it means I get to spend every night here with you… I mean, next week’s our anniversary. Can you imagine if we had to spend the day apart?” “Well, thankfully, we don’t have to think about that, do we?” Devon replies, giving her a quick kiss. Suddenly, his cell phone rings. Devon reaches over to the night stand and picks it up. “I’ll take this out in the hall,” he tells Roxanne, as he hops out of bed, “Be right back.”
Scene 3
In the CEO’s Office at the Jabot Cosmetics Headquarters, Ashley Abbott and her former step-mother Gloria Bardwell continue their conversation. Gloria is confused by Ashley’s sudden interest in her former husband Tom Fisher and his son Ryder Callahan. “Why are you so curious about Tom and Ryder anyway?” she asks Ashley. “Let’s just say, I have a vested interest,” Ashley replies coyly, not answering the question. “Abby,” Gloria realizes, “I saw them together at the Newmans’ pool party. I think everyone did.” “And did you think it was appropriate for a 17 year-old girl to be pursuing someone who’s already out of college?” Ashley asks harshly, in a tone that suggests she would have wanted Gloria to stop Abby. “Relax, Ashley,” Gloria says, “I’m sure it’s just a meaningless crush… It’ll pass.” “I wish I could be that calm about it, Gloria,” Ashley expresses, “But you know as well as I do – better, actually – that Tom Fisher was a horrible, dangerous man. He terrorized my family and he’s the reason my father is dead.” “You don’t have to remind me of that, Ashley,” Gloria snaps, some anger in her voice, “But just because Tom was a horrible, abusive man doesn’t mean that Ryder is too. Look at Jack. He’s nothing like my kind and generous and loving John was. And Kevin, he may be Tom’s son, but he’s grown into a very handsome, very successful young man. Nothing like Tom.” Ashley is irritated at Gloria’ dig at Jack, but decides to ignore it.
“Maybe so, but Kevin, at one point, was very angry and destructive,” she says, “And he may have worked through those issues, but that doesn’t mean that Ryder doesn’t have his own problems that we don’t know about. If not from Tom, then from having Sheila as a mother and feeling abandoned. So do you understand why I don’t want him around my daughter?” “You have a point,” Gloria reluctantly admits. “Then, I’ll ask you again, Gloria,” Ashley repeats, “Tell me what you know about Ryder Callahan.”
Scene 4
At the Athletic Club, Alex Perez is stunned by Neil Winters’ revelation that her former fiancé Malcolm Winters is still alive. She doesn’t believe it. “Why would you say something like that?” an upset Alex asks. “Because it’s true.” Neil assures her, “My brother… Malcolm is alive.” “I need to sit down,” Alex announces. Neil helps her to a table. “You’ve actually seen him?” Alex inquires, her voice shaking. Neil remains calm. “Yes, he’s in Genoa City,” Neil tells her, “He survived the accident in Kenya. He came back a few years later after staying in Africa for a while…” Alex is suddenly very angry and confused. “Why didn’t you notify me?” she says loudly, “Why didn’t Malcolm?” “Oh, come on, Alex. It’s not like I knew how to get in touch with you after you left,” Neil defends himself, “You were the one who wanted to get away from here. I tried to convince you to stay, remember?” Alex feels light-headed. “Alex. Alex, are you okay?” Neil asks. “This is the last thing I expected to deal with when I came back to Genoa City,” she admits.
Scene 5
Abby Carlton is watching Fenmore’s Boutique while Lauren speaks to Ryder at the Coffee House. She overhears a trio of teen girls who are shopping for clothes. One girl asks her friends what they think of the top she’s holding. “I can totally help you out with that,” Abby butts in. She picks out a different colored shirt and hands it to the girl. “Try this shirt with those pants,” she says, “I’m telling you. They go perfectly together.”
“Hey, what do you think of this?” another one of the girls asks Abby, modeling an outfit that she tried on in the fitting room. Abby crinkles her nose and shakes her head. “Too old for you,” she decides, “You need to show a little more skin. Try a shorter skirt.” She pulls off a really short skirt from the clothes rack and hands it to the girl. The girl isn’t sure. “Isn’t that a bit too revealing?” she asks. “Definitely. But that’s the whole point,” Abby replies, “Trust me. This is the ‘in’ look right now.”
Then Abby turns to the third girl and looks at the top she’s holding. “And that’s not the right top for you either. Here, try this one,” she suggests, as she grabs a shirt from one of the display racks, “You’ll definitely turn heads in this.” “Thanks!” the girl replies enthusiastically. “No problem,” Abby replies with a smile. She realizes how much she’d enjoy her job at Fenmore’s.
Scene 6
Ryder Callahan is still at Crimson Lights Coffee House, nearing the end of an extra-long shift. He had agreed to watch the coffee house for his half-brother Kevin. Lauren Fenmore Baldwin arrives, hoping to ask Ryder about his twin sister Daisy’s whereabouts. “Lauren, hi,” Ryder greets her. “Ryder, listen. Do you have a minute?” Lauren asks, “I wanna talk to you about something.” “Yeah, sure,” Ryder says. He steps away from the front counter and joins Lauren at one of the side tables. “Have you been in contact with Daisy?” Lauren inquires. “No,” Ryder denies it immediately. “When’s the last time you’ve heard from her?” Lauren follows-up. “Not since that day at the amusement park. She got away, and I have no idea where she went,” Ryder explains. “Do you think it’s possible… do you think she would come back to Genoa City?” Lauren asks. She’s clearly unsettled. “I thought I saw her outside the Boutique. I mean, I saw someone with red hair. I don’t know if it was my mind just playing tricks on me… or if it really was her,” Lauren confesses. “No, there’s no way Daisy would come back here,” Ryder says confidently, “She knows I would turn her in if I saw her. She’s completely on her own. She’s running as far away from here as she can get.” Lauren is not convinced. “You don’t believe me?” Ryder asks. “I want to, but do you know how many times I wanted to believe that same thing about Sheila? About your mother…,” she says, “And Sheila always found a way to come back and wreak more havoc on my life.”
Scene 7
In the Jabot CEO’s Office, Gloria and Ashley continue talking about Ryder. “There’s not much to tell, really, Ashley,” Gloria begins to tell her, “I had no idea that Tom had another family somewhere else. I mean, he would leave for days at a time and it wouldn’t be unusual. Actually… we would wish sometimes that he wouldn’t come back. But he never mentioned Daisy and Ryder, or Sheila, or threatened that he would leave us for them, or anything like that.” “Maybe Tom never knew that he had these other children,” Ashley speculates. “No,” Gloria disagrees, “When Ryder first met Kevin, he told similar stories about being abused by Tom. That was what originally bonded them together. And he told me that Tom was his primary parent. That his mother had abandoned him… Of course, that was before we learned about Sarah… and Daisy, so I suppose his story about Tom could have been fabricated.”
“Or it could have been a complete lie,” Ashley suggests, “Either way, whatever happened during his upbringing doesn’t excuse what he’s done.” “I didn’t say it did,” Gloria replies, defensively. “It sounds like you’re making excuses for him…,” Ashley retorts, “just like you’ve always done.” “What’s that supposed to mean?” Gloria demands. “It means that, except for Lauren, every one of your family members is a felon. He fits in with the Baldwin-Fishers…” Gloria finishes Ashley’s sentence for her: “Oh, so Ryder doesn’t fit in with the ‘perfect’ Abbotts, just like I didn’t fit in with your father. Is that what you’re saying?” she asks. “You said it, not me,” Ashley responds. “You didn’t have to,” Gloria replies, realizing what Ashley meant. Ashley elaborates: “You all use Michael as your personal ‘Get out of Jail Free’ card… to find some loophole to get away with all of your crimes. As far as I’m concerned, Ryder should be locked up right now where he can’t hurt anyone else, especially Abby.”
“Did you ever think that by interfering in her personal life, you’ll just drive your daughter further away?” Gloria asks. “No offense, Gloria, but I’m not gonna be taking parenting advice from you,” Ashley snaps back. “Fine. What do you want from me then?” Gloria asks, growing frustrated. “Obviously, I feel desperate. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be turning to you,” Ashley confesses, “I want you to talk to Ryder. You were married to Tom… It’s only natural that you’d be interested in his other son. I want to know what role Tom had in his upbringing, how involved Sheila Carter was in his life, if he ever got into trouble with the law before, everything there is to know about him.” “And how do you think I’m gonna find out everything there is to know about him?” Gloria asks, “I think you have me mistaken for Paul Williams. Why don’t you get him?” “A private investigator takes time,” Ashley states, “I don’t have time… I have you.” “And what makes you think Ryder would tell me any of this?” Gloria asks. “Well, he better,” Ashley threatens, “Because the minute you stop coming through for me, Gloria, you can say goodbye to your job at Jabot.”
Scene 8
In the Fishers’ Apartment, Jana continues to react to the revelation that she killed Carmen Mesta. Kevin tries to comfort her, but she turns away. “I need some fresh air,” Jana announces abruptly. “We can go for a walk.” Kevin suggests. “No, I can’t be around you right now. I’m sorry,” Jana tells him. “So, what? Now you wanna escape your past?” Kevin asks her. “I’m not escaping my past. I just need time to process it…,” Jana answers, “to understand the person who I was. And I need to talk to someone who doesn’t know me. Who isn’t blinded by some misguided love for me.” “It’s not ‘misguided’ love!” Kevin insists, “When are you gonna realize that I love you for who you are? Jana you are a beautiful, wonderful soul who would never intentionally harm another person.”
Jana picks up the phone in the apartment. “Who are you calling?” Kevin asks. “Scott,” Jana answers. Kevin is taken aback. “Scott? You barely know him,” he replies. “We made friends at the pool party,” Jana explains, “And I feel like I can trust him.” She hangs up the phone. “I just realized… I don’t know his number,” she says, “You have it, right?” “Yeah… in my phone,” Kevin says hesitantly. “Could I see it, please?” Jana asks politely. “The number or my phone?” Kevin inquires. “Your phone,” Jana answers. “Yeah… sure,” Kevin replies, still feeling confused.
Scott Grainger, Jr. answers his cell phone. “Kev, hey, what’s up, man?” he asks. “Actually, this is Jana calling,” Jana tells him. “Oh, Jana. Hey, how’s it goin’?” Scott says. Jana gets right to the point. “You remember what I said to you at the pool, about us maybe exploring Genoa City together. I was wondering, if you’re still up for that.”
Scene 9
Devon re-enters his bedroom after having taken a phone call from an unknown caller. “You’ll never guess who that was on the phone,” Devon tells his girlfriend Roxanne. Roxanne shrugs her shoulders. She’s stumped. “I don’t know,” she admits, “Surprise me.” “Tyra,” Devon reveals. The name strikes a chord with Roxanne. She gets a little uncomfortable. “Oh?” Roxanne replies, “What did she want?” “She wants me to visit Ana,” Devon announces, “Next week, after the long weekend.” “But you’ll miss our anniversary,” Roxanne realizes. “We’ll have all the time in the world to celebrate for that, now that you’ll be staying around,” Devon assures her, “I only have a few days to visit my sister. She’s going away to summer camp in a little over a week, and she wants to see me before she goes.” “So, you said yes?” Roxanne asks. “Of course, I said yes. She’s my sister,” Devon states, “I didn’t think you would have a problem with it.” “I don’t,” Roxanne states, “I just wish it wasn’t so out-of-the-blue.”
Scene 10
As Lauren is about to leave the Coffee House, her son Scott arrives to meet Jana. “Hey honey! This is a pleasant surprise,” Lauren says. “Mom, hey!” Scott calls, as he gives her a quick kiss on the cheek, “What’re you doing here? I thought you’d be at the Boutique…” “Well, I was, but I needed to run out for a few minutes,” Lauren explains, “and I’m glad I did because now I get to spend some more time with you.” They take a seat at a table.
“How’s the suite?” Lauren asks. “It’s great. I feel like royalty,” Scott tells her, “Really, you didn’t have to pay for something so luxurious. Thank you.” “It’s my pleasure,” Lauren says, “So have you made any definite plans about staying in Genoa City?” She inquires after taking a sip of coffee. “No, I have to figure some things out still,” he admits, “If I want to get a full-time job as a teacher, then I should stay with the board in Toronto, where I at least have some connections. If I move here, I don’t even know if my degree translates. I mean, sure, I’d still have my Undergrad in English to fall back on, but that won’t get me a job in a school.” “No, it won’t,” Lauren agrees.
“You know who you should talk to is Billy Abbott, over at Restless Style,” Lauren suggests, “I’m sure he could use someone with your writing talent on his team.” “Restless Style,” Scott considers the suggestion, “Hmm. I never really thought about getting into the magazine world… if you can even call Restless Style a magazine.” “I’ll be the first to admit I haven’t been a supporter of some of Billy’s headlines and tactics, but honey, this could be a good opportunity for you,” Lauren tells her son, “And if Billy had an opening for you, I’d want you to take it.” “I’ll keep it in mind, Mom, but I think you’re getting a bit ahead of yourself here,” Scott reminds her, “I don’t even know for sure that I’m staying.” “A mother can hope, can’t she?” Lauren replies.
Scene 11
At the Athletic Club, Neil continues to update Alex on Malcolm’s return from the dead and to Genoa City. “When he came back, Malcolm, he wanted nothing to do with me,” Neil informs her. “Because of what he thought he heard between us?” Alex asks, “He thought we were betraying him?” Neil nods. “He didn’t hear you telling me that you were committed to him, and only him,” he says, “I told Malcolm the whole thing was a misunderstanding, that he was holding a grudge for years… for no reason. He actually thought I left him for dead so that I could have you…”
“What? That’s crazy,” Alex insists. “I know it is,” Neil agrees, “but Malcolm spent three years in Kenya believing that. It made him so bitter, you have no idea.” “What’s he like now?” Alex inquires. Neil takes a deep breath. “We’ve still got our problems,” he answers without going into specific detail. “I need to see him,” Alex decides, “I need to see my fiancé.” “Did you hear that? You just referred to Malcolm as your fiancé,” Neil notices. Alex hadn’t meant to do so. “Yeah, yeah, I guess I did,” she realizes. She tries to rationalize the situation: “I mean, the only reason we didn’t get married is because he was presumed dead. But if you’re telling me he’s alive…” “Yeah, but a lot has changed in eight years, Alex,” Neil repeats, warning her again, “The man who came back from Africa is not the same man we both knew before the accident. “I guess, that’s for me to decide,” Alex announces, “What’s his room number, Neil?” Neil avoids her question: “Alex, I really think you should think this through a bit more before you…,” he warns. “The room number!” Alex demands. Neil sighs. “Fourteen,” he gives in. “That’s right next to mine,” Alex realizes, “What are the chances?”
Scene 12
After Lauren leaves Crimson Lights, Scott approaches Ryder at the front counter. “Hey, what can I get you?” Ryder asks. “Double espresso,” Scott orders. “Comin’ right up,” Ryder replies. He hands Scott the espresso. “How much do I owe you?” Scott asks. “It’s on me,” Ryder offers, “It’s the least I can do.” Scott thanks him. “You were at the Newmans’,” Ryder recalls, “for the pool party.” “That’s right,” Scott says, “But we never really got a chance to get acquainted… I’m Scott.” Ryder nods. “I know who you are,” he says, “You were Sheila’s first son… That’s how she thought of you anyway.”
“Yeah, she kidnapped me as a newborn,” Scott explains, “She tried to pass me off as her own baby.” “She referred to you as my brother,” Ryder adds. “I’m sure she did,” Scott replies, the tone in his voice suggesting that Sheila was crazy.
“Look, for what it’s worth, I’m sorry for what happened to your mother,” Ryder offers. “Sheila manipulated me into poisoning my mom,” Scott admits, “I gave her a necklace and I had no idea that Sheila laced it with poison… um, so if your aunt Sarah was anything like her sister, then I understand how you can easily become involved in some twisted scheme against your will… The way I see it, is if it wasn’t for you, my mother… and Jana wouldn’t be here right now.” Ryder feels slightly uneasy. “You’re giving me too much credit,” he says, “If it weren’t for me, she wouldn’t have been kidnapped in the first place.”
Scene 13
Devon and Roxanne continue discussing Devon’s upcoming visit with Ana (and Tyra). “Why don’t I go with you?” Roxanne suggests. “No… you better not,” Devon dismisses the idea. “Why not?” Roxanne inquires, “Because of Tyra?” “Why are we ruining our evening talking about her?” Devon responds. “Because if the only reason you don’t want me to go is because you think I can’t handle being in the same room as Tyra, I can,” Roxanne insists, “I’m over what happened between the two of you…” “I know. Baby, that has nothing to do with it,” Devon insists, “You just got hired at the Boutique. How bad would it look if you go to your boss on your first day and ask for time-off?” “Yeah, that’s a good point…,” Roxanne concedes, “If I don’t have a job here, then I can’t afford to stay.” “And you know how much I want you to stay,” Devon tells her. “How much?” Roxanne asks, with a smile. “This much,” Devon replies, giving her a kiss on the lips.
“I’m gonna go take a quick shower,” Devon informs her, “If you wanna save water, you’re welcome to join me.” Roxanne smiles. “No, um, that’s okay. I think, I’m gonna go downstairs and get something to eat,” she replies. As Devon goes into the bathroom, Roxanne’s expression changes. She’s clearly uneasy about something.
Scene 14
Kevin and Jana arrive at the Coffee House, where Scott is already waiting for them. Jana excuses herself immediately to go “freshen up.” Kevin approaches Scott. “I don’t know how I feel about you taking my wife out on a date,” Kevin says as a joke, but his insecurities show through. Scott laughs a bit. “This is not a date,” he assures Kevin. “Then let me go with you,” Kevin suggests. “I don’t know, man. Three’s a crowd,” Scott jokes back, “Seriously, though, I think Jana just wants a little time away from everything that’s going on.” “Yeah, maybe you’re right,” Kevin agrees, “I don’t want her to feel like I’m suffocating her.” “Don’t worry. Jana is safe with me,” Scott tells Kevin, “And I will have her home by curfew, which is…?” Kevin manages a slight smile. “Just bring her home ready to go back to being my Jana. My wife,” he says. “I’ll do my best,” Scott promises. “Thanks, dude,” Kevin says, giving Scott a pat on the back, “Have I told you how glad I am to have you back in town?”
Scene 15
Neil runs into his boss and good friend Katherine Chancellor Murphy at the Athletic Club. “Katherine, I didn’t see you here,” Neil greets her. “Neil, how are you?” I was in the back, visiting with Gina,” Katherine tells him. She notices he seems frantic. “You seem rattled,” she observes. “I’m going through a bit of an unexpected family crisis,” Neil confides in her. “Nothing to do with Lily, is it?” Katherine asks, concerned. “No, Lily’s fine. She’s great,” Neil answers, “except for the fact that her husband is deported to Australia.” “Oh, I know, Neil, it’s terrible,” Katherine agrees, “But you know, Michael is still working on getting it reversed, and I’m confident he will come through for us all.” “Yeah, unfortunately, not soon enough though,” Neil states, “Every day Cane is away is too many for my Lily.” “Give it time,” Katherine says calmly, “We just have to be patient. Now, why don’t you tell me what else has gotten you so troubled?” “It has to do with my brother,” Neil begins, “Someone Malcolm was once very close to is back in town, and I have a feeling she’s about to get her heart broken. Again.”
Scene 16
At the Athletic Club, Alex knocks on Malcolm’s hotel room door. There’s no answer. A maid walks by. “Excuse me,” Alex calls out to her, “Have you seen the man who’s renting out this room?” “Sorry, I haven’t seen him all day,” the maid replies. “Thanks,” Alex says as the maid continues on her way. Alex goes into her own suite, plops down on the bed, and pulls out an old photo of Malcolm from her drawer. She smiles as she stares at it for a few moments.
Scene 17
Kevin joins Ryder at the front counter of Crimson Lights. “I just wanted to say I appreciate your help with the Coffee House,” Kevin thanks his half-brother, “It’s nice to have someone I can rely on while I need to… stay close to Jana.” “I’m glad you think you can count on me again,” Ryder replies as he wipes down the counter. “You’ve given me every reason to believe that I can,” Kevin responds. “Thanks,” Ryder says softly. “Yeah, no problem… Um, I’m taking off. Can you handle being here the rest of the night on your own?” “Yeah, of course,” Ryder agrees. “By the way, you’re rehired,” Kevin announces, “You can officially start tomorrow morning.” “Cool,” Ryder nods, “I’ll be here.
Scene 18
Scott and Jana are outside, in a park in the city. They stop for a minute to sit on a bench. “Do you like Chinese food?” Scott asks, “I found a great Chinese restaurant not too far from here.” “I… I don’t know,” Jana admits, “I suppose I do, but I can’t be sure. I mean, I haven’t tried any Chinese food since I’ve been out of the hospital. I’ve discovered… or rediscovered that I do like Italian food though. Gina’s lasagna is to die for!” “I know! That’s one of the things I was most looking forward to when I came back here,” Scott shares. “So let’s go then!” Jana decides. “I thought the point of our little excursion was to discover new things and places,” Scott reminds her. “Who says we can’t cheat a bit?” Jana asks, “You don’t have a problem cheating, do you?” Scott smirks. “No, no problem at all,” he tells her.
Scene 19
Roxanne walks downstairs. She stops for a moment at the end of the staircase and stares at the black leather couch in the living room. She flashes back to the night that she had come home to the Rent House and found Devon being unfaithful to her… with Tyra. She had peaked inside and seen them on the couch, kissing and removing each others’ clothing. The image is burned into her mind, and she focuses on it for a few seconds before shaking it off and continuing into the kitchen for a snack.
Scene 20
At his apartment in the city, Kevin talks on the phone to an unknown caller. “I really need you to do something for me…,” he requests. The caller answers, but the response can’t be heard. “You will? Drop everything and come to Genoa City on the first plane out,” Kevin demands, “I’ll explain when you get here.” Kevin hangs up.
Then, there’s a knock on the door. Kevin answers it. It’s Katherine. “Mrs. C, hi,” Kevin greets her. “I apologize for just dropping in like this without calling. I know it’s late,” Katherine says. “Oh, it’s no problem,” Kevin replies, motioning her inside. “Please… come in.” “Is Jana here?” Katherine inquires. Kevin shakes his head. “No, she’s out with Lauren’s son,” he answers. “She’s watching Fen?” Katherine asks. “No, Lauren’s other son,” Kevin clarifies, “Her grown son, Scott. He got back in town a few days ago.”
Scene 21
Scott and Jana are now at the Athletic Club for Gina’s lasagna. Over dinner, Jana confessed what she just learned from Kevin: that she had once killed someone. “This lasagna is delicious,” Scott remarks, ‘Exactly the way I remembered it.” Jana’s mind is elsewhere. She’s barely touched her lasagna. “What’s going on?” Scott inquires, “You’ve hardly eaten and you were the one who wanted to come here…” “Don’t you wanna run for the hills, or something?” Jana asks, “I just told you that I’m a murderer.” Scott stops eating and puts down his fork. “I don’t see a murderer staring back at me,” he reveals, as he puts his hand on top of hers, “I see a very beautiful, fun, unique woman who lives life to the fullest, and who cares too much about life to ever willingly take someone else’s… And the fact that you don’t even remember what happened, but you still feel remorse, that shows me that you’re a good person. You just got caught in a bad situation. One that you had no control over.”
“Well, I appreciate that,” Jana replies softly, “But maybe we should change the subject.” “Sure. You know, I’ve been meaning to ask you…,”Scott begins, “Your accent…” “I’m English,” Jana states the obvious. “No kidding,” Scott laughs, “I mean… where in England are you from? I had classmates from Cardiff and Hartfordshire, and Manchester, so I’m a little familiar with the area.” “I’m originally from Oxfordshire. That’s what my birth certificate says,” Jana answers, “But I grew up all over the world, really, according to Kevin.” “Me too. I went to boarding schools all over Europe, finally came back to North America and settled in Toronto. “And now here you are, back in your hometown of Genoa City,” Jana concludes his thought. “Yep. Here I am,” Scott nods. They spend a few moments lost in each others’ eyes before Jana snaps back to reality. She clears her throat.
“You know, I saw an advertisement for a drive-in a while back. Maybe we could catch a movie,” she suggests. “It’s getting a little late, don’t you think?” Scott replies, “I don’t want Kevin to worry if you’re out that late. Maybe next time, though.” “Next time?” Jana perks up, “Are you inviting me out on a second date?”
Scene 22
Lauren returns to the Boutique. Abby is standing behind the cash register. “Sorry, I’m late,” Lauren apologizes, “I ran into my son at the Coffee House.” “Oh, don’t worry about it,” Abby replies, “I had everything under control.” “It looks like it,” Lauren observes. “Um, these girls were just about to pay for their clothes,” Abby tells Lauren, acknowledging the teenage girls waiting in line, “I wasn’t sure how to use the check-out.” “Oh, okay. Let me help you with that,” Lauren offers, as the first girl hands her an outfit. Lauren rings the items through for the girls. “Come back anytime,” Abby tells them as they leave. Lauren turns to Abby. “Wow, look at you! You helped them pick out those outfits?” she asks. “Helped them?” Abby laughs, “I practically picked them for them. Trust me, they had no fashion sense at all.” “Well, you’re a natural,” Lauren compliments Abby, “Who knew?” “I did!” Abby brags, “Lauren, I knew this job would be perfect for me.” “Why don’t you stick around a few minutes, and I’ll show you how to use the register?” Lauren offers, “and I’ll call you later once I place you onto the schedule…”
Scene 23
Gloria arrives at the Coffee House and sees Ryder working at the counter. She approaches him, a devilish smile on her face. “Ryder!” she calls out, “Just the person I was hoping to see…”
Scene 24
Kevin and Katherine continue their conversation in the living room of the Fishers’ Apartment. “Can I offer you anything?” Kevin asks Katherine. “Oh, no, darling. I’m fine, thank you,” she replies. “So what brings you by?” Kevin follows up. “Well, I understand you’ve been working in IT for Tucker McCall,” she begins, “And I’m here to tell you, my dear, I think you can do so much better for yourself. Kevin, you’re a dear friend, a talented computer wizard, and I know you would be a valued employee elsewhere.” “You want me to quit my job?” Kevin asks. “I want you back on my team,” Katherine states, “Come work for me. How does Chief Information Officer at Chancellor Industries sound?”
Scene 25
It’s night time. Ashley is standing at the front door of her current residence, the Carlton Mansion, waiting for Abby to come home. “Abby! It’s about time you got home,” Ashley declares. “Relax; I made curfew,” Abby says with attitude, “…with a few minutes to spare…” “But I’ve had no idea where you were,” Ashley tells her, “although if I had to guess, I’d say, probably with Ryder.” “No, actually, I wasn’t,” Abby defends herself. Ashley is unconvinced. “Do you really expect me to believe that?” she asks. “Yes, because it’s true. I wasn’t even at the Coffee House,” Abby explains, “I went to Fenmore’s Boutique.” “You were downstairs from me the whole time?” Ashley inquires. Abby nods. “So I tell you you’re grounded,” Ashley begins, “and you went shopping?” “No, I got a job,” Abby corrects her. Ashley is shocked. “Excuse me?” she reacts, in disbelief. “Lauren hired me,” Abby states, “I’m the new sales associate at Fenmore’s.” “You’re also grounded, honey,” Ashley reminds her, “What, did you get that job just so you could leave the house?” “I did it so you would start to treat me like a grown-up,” Abby explains. Ashley sighs. “We’re gonna have to talk to your father about this, see if you can keep this job…”
Scene 26
Scott and Jana are nearing the end of their evening together. They’re back at Kevin and Jana’s apartment complex now, walking down a corridor. Jana clarifies her earlier comment about being invited on a second date. “I heard Kevin say that to you, as a joke, about this being a date,” she explains, “I know this isn’t a date. I’m married to Kevin. Even though I don’t remember him. But that won’t be for much longer. I mean, my amnesia. Not the marriage. I’m gonna get my memory back soon. I am.” She’s rambling, and not sounding entirely convinced of what she’s saying. “Of course you will,” Scott encourages her.
They reach the front door of Kevin and Jana’s apartment. “Um, I’d offer to let you come inside, but you know…,” Jana pauses. Scott finishes her thought. “Kevin’s in there,” he realizes. “Yeah,” Jana says softly. “And if this were a date, I’d kiss you good night,” Scott begins, “but then again…” “It’s not a date,” Jana remarks, this time completing his sentence. “No, definitely not a date,” Scott repeats. “Well, maybe a hug then,” Jana suggests all-of-a-sudden. “Yeah, I can do that. Come here,” Scott agrees, pulling her close to him and embracing her. “Kevin’s a lucky guy. You know that, right?” he says as they are hugging. “And when you find the right lass for you, she’ll be very lucky too,” Jana tells him. “Thanks,” Scott says with a smile. “Good night,” Jana whispers as she goes inside the apartment. “Good night,” Scott responds. He lingers outside the door for a few moments.
“Kevin’s a very lucky guy,” Scott says aloud to himself as he walks towards the elevator, a big smirk on his face.
