Scene 1

Scott Grainger, Jr. and Jana Hawkes Fisher are laying in bed together. Scott cradles Jana in his arms and Jana looks up to kiss his lips once more. “I’m glad we did this,” she whispers, “When I was with Kevin, I didn’t feel anything. But when I’m with you, I feel alive again… I feel free.”

They lay together for a few more moments. “I wish we could stay like this forever. I don’t want to leave your arms,” Jana tells him, “If only it were possible…” “It is,” Scott replies, “The question is… what are we gonna do about Kevin?”

Scene 2

Katherine Chancellor Murphy and Jill Abbott are still at Genoa City Memorial Hospital. They’re awaiting word on the condition of Katherine’s granddaughter, Mackenzie Browning, who just gave birth to twins. The doctor returns to the waiting room after being with Mackenzie. She had developed high blood pressure after giving birth.

“Doctor, how is she?” Katherine asks hesitantly. Jill has a hand on her shoulder. The doctor’s face says it all. “It’s bad news,” he speaks, “I’m sorry… Mackenzie… she didn’t make it...”

Scene 3

At the Baldwins’ Apartment, Michael Baldwin reacts to his wife Lauren Fenmore Baldwin’s surprise announcement that she is pregnant. “A baby!?” he shouts, overjoyed, “We’re gonna have another baby!” “Yes!” Lauren confirms excitedly, “Believe me, I was as shocked as you are. In a good way.” Eden Gerick is also present. “Yeah, wow, this is so unexpected. But congratulations, you two!” Eden says to her half-brother and sister-in-law.

“Have you been to get a check-up yet?” Michael asks. “I’ve made an appointment,” Lauren answers, “for early next week.”

Scene 4

Katherine and Jill continue to talk to Mackenzie’s doctor in the waiting room of the hospital. “I’m sorry for your loss,” the doctor tells them. “I have to know,” Katherine says quietly, her voice cracking, “Was it… the high blood pressure?” “Yes,” the doctor confirms, “It was a heart attack… I’m afraid your granddaughter suffered a ruptured aorta after the twins were delivered. There was nothing we could do in time. I’m sorry.” Jill holds Katherine up.

Suddenly, the Winters family [Lily Winters Ashby, Neil Winters, Malcolm Winters, Devon Hamilton Winters, and Roxanne Porter] all return to the waiting room. “They are the most precious children I’ve ever seen,” Roxanne tells Lily. “You can say that again,” Malcolm echoes. The Winters stop in their tracks, sensing the sorrow in the waiting room. “Katherine?” Neil calls her name out softly. Jill and Katherine turn to them. “What’s going on here?” Lily asks. “Is Mac okay?” Devon adds.

Katherine looks directly at Lily. “Mackenzie is dead…,” she says, tearing up, “Surrogacy killed my granddaughter.” Lily looks horrified.

Scene 5

Abby Carlton, upset about her father’s actions and being rejected by Ryder Callahan, goes to Genoa City Airport, intent on leaving town. She sees Ricky Williams waiting for a plane of his own…

Abby approaches him. “What are the chances of us meeting again,” she says, “It must be fate…”

Scene 6

Ashley Abbott and Victor Newman are banging furiously on an old motel room door. “Open up, you punk!” Victor shouts through the door. “Abby, are you in there?” Ashley calls out as she continues to knock.

Inside the motel, Ryder Callahan has just gotten out of the shower and is only wearing a towel around his waist. “Hold on!” he shouts back, “I’m coming!” He opens the front door and Victor and Ashley storm inside. “Where is she?” Ashley demands. “Abby? She’s not here!” Ryder replies.

There’s a scarf on Ryder’s bed. Ashley notices it and picks it up. “She was,” she announces, “This is Abby’s!” she announces. “What the hell have you done with our daughter?” Victor orders.

Scene 7

Jana and Scott continue to discuss their situation. “I don’t wanna think about Kevin,” “I just want to savour every moment we have together.” “But we have to tell him,” Scott insists. “We will… I will, when the time is right,” Jana agrees, “Promise me that you’ll let me handle it… in my own way.” “Look, he’s my friend too,” Scott says, “I don’t want to hurt him, but you can’t remember him. And we’ve developed feelings for one another that we can’t ignore. So he’s just gonna have to accept it.”

Jana gets out of bed and walks over to a photo of her and Kevin hanging on the wall. “It’s like everything is backwards,” she realizes, “I look around and see all these photographs of me and Kevin. It should be my life but it isn’t. It’s like you’re the only thing that seems real to me right now…”

Scene 8

Lily reacts to Katherine’s admission. “I am so sorry!” she cries, “What happened? I mean, I know she was under stress, but I thought everything would be okay.” “Well, it’s not!” Katherine replies, sounding a little harsh. Neil steps in. “Katherine this is a tragedy, but surely, you don’t blame Lily for what happened,” he says.

Katherine calms down and grabs Lily’s hand. “Darling, I didn’t mean it like that,” she assures her. “Mackenzie knew the risks and she was determined to go through with the surrogacy because that’s the kind of person she is – was,” Neil continues. Jill nods. “I’m the first to admit I wasn’t always Mackenzie’s biggest fan, but she sure did have a kind way with others,” she realizes, “She had probably the biggest heart out of anyone I’ve ever known.” “Do not talk about her like that!” Katherine shouts. “Like what?” Jill asks. “Like she’s gone!” Katherine responds, breaking into tears. “Katherine, she is gone,” Jill comforts her as Katherine cries on her shoulder.

Scene 9

Ryder answers Victor and Ashley’s question. “She was here. She left. That’s all I know,” he tells them. “You should have kept her here and called us right away,” Ashley says. “She’s a big girl,” Ryder answers, “And besides, she wants to get away from you!” He looks right at Victor. “You especially, he continues, “You think that I’m gonna hurt her. Well look in the mirror. All her tears have been over you.” “I’m gonna forget that you just said that, boy,” Victor replies. He turns to Ashley. “Let’s go,” he says, motioning towards the door. Victor turns back to Ryder to offer a final warning. “You better pray that we find her,” he says. They leave the motel room.

Scene 10

Katherine rejoins Jill in the hospital waiting room. “I just got off the phone with Brock,” she informs Jill, “That was the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do.” “How did he take it?” Jill asks. “He’s crushed,” Katherine replies, “I knew he would be. This is his only child we’re talking about.”

“JT?” Jill asks, wondering if Katherine has gotten a hold of Mackenzie’s boyfriend. “I don’t think I can make that call…,” Katherine admits, her voice shaking, “He just found out that Reed isn’t his son. He just lost his parents. Now to tell him that he lost his girlfriend too… it’s unimaginable.” “Why don’t you let me help you?” Jill offers. Katherine shakes her head and sighs. “There are still so many people to call,” she realizes. “You know, it’s late,” Jill says, “You’re exhausted. You don’t have to do this now. It can wait until morning.” “No,” Katherine replies stubbornly, “We called them all and told them Mackenzie had the babies. Now how do we tell them that she’s dead?”

Scene 11

Michael continues to react to news of Lauren’s pregnancy. “There’s so much to think about!” he says, “Baby names… will it be a boy or a girl?” “Michael, slow down!” Lauren urges him. “No, we have so many people to tell – Kevin, Jana. Scott… Gloria,” Michael continues, “My God, she’ll go through the roof when she hears about this…”

“…And this place… this place is too small,” Michael realizes, “We’ll need an extra bedroom.” “No, you won’t,” Eden interjects, “The baby can have my room.” Both Michael and Lauren are caught off-guard by Eden’s announcement.

Scene 12

Abby and Ricky continue to talk in the airport. “My flight leaves soon,” Ricky tells Abby, “Back to LA.” “You’re going back to your grandparents?” Abby inquires. “No, I’m going to finally meet my mother,” Ricky answers, “Find out her side of the story, and let her know that my father and my grandparents kept me in the dark all these years about her.” “I’ll come with you,” Abby offers, without thinking, “I’m so sick of Genoa City. I think it would be good for me… good for us… to get away somewhere. Together…”

Scene 13

Victor and Ashley are walking outside in the cold. “You never told me what happened to upset Abby this much,” “Based on what Ryder said, it has to do with you. So what exactly did you do?” “This is not the time for that,” Victor dismisses her question. “If it involves our daughter, I have a right to know,” Ashley presses, “Victor…” Victor sighs. “I admitted, at the courthouse, to changing Reed’s paternity results to show that JT is his father,” he reveals. Ashley’s eyes widen.

“So you’re saying that…,” she starts to speak. Victor nods. “Bradley Carlton is Reed’s father,” he says. “Victor, how could you?” Ashley scolds him. “For your information, he betrayed and hurt my daughter,” Victor responds harshly, “He would have done the same to his child.” “It wasn’t your place to interfere,” Ashley tells him, “You know how much it killed Brad to find out that you were Abby’s biological father. You denied him of another child.” “I was protecting my daughter and grandchild from being tied to that lowlife for the rest of their lives,” Victor defends himself.

Ashley continues to try to reason with her ex-husband. “But Brad would have been a wonderful father to Reed,” she says, “This was his biological son we’re talking about. After losing Robert, that would have meant so much to him.” By now, Victor is ignoring her. “Let’s just focus on finding our daughter, okay?” he suggests. Ashley stands her ground. “No, I can’t believe I’m gonna say this, but Ryder was right,” she tells him, “You keep telling yourself that everything you do is to protect those that you love, but your interference is the reason that all of our lives are in such turmoil.”

Scene 14

Jill and Katherine reconvene in the waiting room. “Billy’s on his way,” Jill tells Katherine, “He should be here any minute.” “Good,” Katherine says, “I just called Kevin too.”

Billy Abbott and Victoria Newman Abbott arrive at the hospital. Jill and Billy hug. “Honey, I’m so sorry,” Jill says to Billy, “I know how close you and Mackenzie used to be.” “How’re you doin’ Grandma?” Billy asks Katherine. “Still in shock and disbelief,” Katherine replies softly, “Mackenzie should have had a long, happy life ahead of her… with JT and kids of their own.” “Um, where is JT?” Victoria asks.

“JT had another tragedy of his own…,” Jill says, “When Mackenzie first got to the hospital, JT got a phonecall that his parents were killed in an accident. “How awful,” Victoria replies, “Tom and Martha… both dead… I have to call him.” “We’ve tried to reach him,” Katherine tells her, “There’s been no answer.” “You mean, JT doesn’t even know about Mackenzie?” Victoria asks. Katherine shakes her head.

Victoria hugs Katherine. “Everything had been so tense with the custody battle, but I want you to know I never wanted this to happen. Any of it.” “I know,” Katherine replies.

Scene 15

Victor gets a mysterious phone call informing him of Abby’s whereabouts. The caller cannot be heard. “At the airport?” Victor replies, “You keep her there. Make sure she doesn’t get on a plane.” The caller says something else. “Mmhmm,” Victor replies, “We’re on our way.” He hangs up and motions for Ashley to follow him.

Scene 16

Scott and Jana have now gotten dressed and moved into the living room of the Fishers’ Apartment. “If you want, I can wait with you and we can tell Kevin together… tonight,” Scott suggests. “Let’s not ruin his night,” Jana replies, “But I will do it tomorrow… I promise. I don’t want anything or anyone to come between us being able to be together.” Scott gives Jana one last kiss. “I better go then,” he says, “Kevin could be home at any time, and I don’t want him to know I was here tonight.”

Jana’s cell phone begins to vibrate. She picks it up. “Wait,” she says, “This is Kevin now.” Scott turns back and waits by the door.

“Babe, were you asleep?” Kevin asks Jana. “No,” Jana replies, “I was keeping myself busy.” “Um, well, I’m at the hospital. And I could be here a while,” Kevin informs his wife. “The hospital?” Jana reacts, “Is everything alright?” “I’m fine,” Kevin replies, although he’s clearly shaken up, “It’s Mackenzie. She had the babies, and um, well stuff happened. I’ll talk to you when I get home about it. I just wanted you to know where I am so you don’t worry.” “Okay, thanks for letting me know,” Jana replies as she looks up to meet Scott’s eyes, “And don’t worry about me either. I’m in good hands.” She hangs up.

“I think we have a bit more time together,” Jana tells Scott, “If you’d like to stay longer…” “We just got re-dressed,” Scott points out. “Well, we can get re-undressed,” Jana laughs. “I’m all for that,” Scott agrees, a big smirk on his face.

As they both remove their shirts again, Scott collapses onto the couch and Jana falls on top of him. They continue kissing…

Scene 17

Ricky reacts to Abby’s suggestion that she accompany him to LA. “You wanna come with me?” Ricky asks, surprised, “What happened to ‘I still have feelings for Ryder?’” “I’m through with Ryder,” Abby announces, “Why should I have to wait for him to come around? You’re ready for me now.” She leans in to kiss him but Ricky pulls away.

“I thought that we decided this was wrong,” he says, “I won’t be a rebound. This is not what you want… I know that!” Abby’s eyes tear up. “To Hell with you too then,” she shouts and she turns away to leave. “Abby, come on!” Ricky calls out, “Don’t take it like that.” Abby turns around. “What is so wrong with me that no guy wants to be with me?” she cries. “You know that’s not what I meant,” Ricky tells her. “Go to Hell,” Abby says again and she runs out of the airport.

Scene 18

Kevin Fisher arrives at the hospital and Billy sees him. They stand in the waiting room for a few moments. Neither of them knows what to say, or whether to say anything at all.

Billy breaks the silence. “Mac, for some reason I’ll never know, had a soft spot for you,” he whispers, “That’s something I’ll always remember about her. Her ability to see the good in everyone.” Kevin nods. “I never thought you were right for her, but the fact that she still cared so much about you, despite all the stupid things that you did, really shows what a caring, forgiving person she was,” he says. “Hell, she gave both of us more second chances than we probably deserved,” Billy admits, “I’ll always love her for that.” “Yeah, me too,” Kevin says.

Victoria rejoins Billy. “Hey, um, what did you mean before, when you said, ‘I never wanted this to happen?’” Billy asks her. “I had a dream… before the hearing,” Victoria explains, “It’s silly.. but it was a dream where Mackenzie was this wicked witch and she was trying to take Reed away from me. And I wanted her dead. I wanted to kill her so that she wouldn’t steal my son. And I melted her. And she died, and now she really is.” She starts crying and Billy hugs her.

Scene 19

Katherine enters the hospital chapel. She sits down and begins to speak aloud. “This was supposed to be a joyous day,” she begins, “Mackenzie, my dear granddaughter, helped bring new life into this world. Why did you have to take hers? I guess it’s true what they say… no good deed goes unpunished.”

Scene 20

Michael and Lauren are not sure what to make of Eden’s comment. “What are you talking about – the baby can have your room?” Lauren questions, “We’re not gonna let you give up your room. We still have lots of time to figure this out.” “No, I’ve had it figured out for a few days now,” Eden reveals, “I just didn’t know how to tell you… that I need to leave Genoa City.”

“This—this is crazy,” Michael responds. “Second semester hasn’t started yet,” Eden continues, “I can transfer somewhere else. I can go back to Paris… or to the ashram. Anywhere but here.” “But all your friends are here,” Michael says, “And your family.” “And so is Noah…,” Eden states, “I’m gonna be 18 in a few months anyway. And I would just move out. So you might as well let me do it before next term starts.”

Michael glances at Lauren who subtly nods her head, giving Eden permission to leave. Michael steps forward and places his hands on Eden’s shoulders. “You are a part of this family,” he says, “I don’t want you to ever forget that. You are always welcome back here whenever you feel like it.” “You’ve been like the daughter I never had,” Lauren informs Eden. Eden smiles. There’s a tear in her eyes. “Well now maybe you’ll have one,” she says, “A daughter of your own…”

Scene 21

Jana and Scott get re-dressed again. “Now, I really think I should be going,” Scott tells her. He gives her one last kiss. “I’ll call you tomorrow,” Jana says, “to let you know how I made out.” “Should I hire a bodyguard?” Scott jokes. “I’ll make Kevin understand,” Jana replies. Scott leaves and Jana returns to the couch to fix up the cushions and pillows.

Kevin returns home, having missed Scott by just a few minutes. “You’re still up,” he notices. “Well, of course I am. I wanted to wait for you,” Jana lies. She purposely tries to keep her distance, but Kevin comes closer. She can see he’s upset. “So what’s going on with Mackenzie?” Jana inquires nervously. “She passed away,” Kevin reveals, “Complications after giving birth… ” This is not what Jana expected. “Oh, Kevin, I’m so sorry,” she offers her sympathies, “I know, from the way you’ve talked about her, that she was a good friend to you.”

Kevin hugs her. “I just need my wife right now,” he says, “Losing Mackenzie made me realize even more than ever that we have to hold on to what we have…”

Scene 22

Victor and Ashley arrive at the airport and spot Ricky. “She left. I couldn’t stop her,” Ricky tells them. Abby’s parents are clearly frustrated. “She’s not with Ryder. She’s not here,” Victor says, “Then where the hell did she go now?”

Scene 23

Abby goes to the park and takes a seat on the bench. “Abby?” a voice calls out. Abby looks up to see a classmate, Lucas Taylor, standing over her. Lucas, a former childhood friend of Noah Newman’s, is now the high school football captain and biggest jock at Walnut Grove Academy. “What are you doing out here all alone?” he asks, “You must be freezing.” “I don’t want to go home,” Abby tells him. Lucas nods. “Come on. I’ll take you back to my place,” he tells her.

“Lucas…?” Abby asks suddenly, “Do you think I’m pretty?” “What kind of question is that?” he responds. “A ‘yes’ or ‘no’ one,” Abby says. “Yeah. Of course, I do,” Lucas replies, “And you’ll be a lot prettier and a lot hotter once you’re warmed up by my fireplace…”

Scene 24 [Montage]

Scott returns home to his suite at the Athletic Club. “Well, there’s no way I’ll be able to sleep tonight,” he says aloud. He grabs a book and sits down in a chair to read. It’s Charles Dickens’ A Tale of Two Cities – one of his favorites. As he reads the opening paragraph to himself, a montage begins playing.

“It was the best of times,” [The Winters family stands united, staring at the twins through the glass window in the nursery]
“it was the worst of times;” [The Chancellor family – Katherine, Jill, and Billy – stands beside Mackenzie’s body, preparing to say goodbye. Victoria peers inside the room]
“it was the age of wisdom,” [Scott is shown reading]
“it was the age of foolishness;” [Abby and Lucas are now in bed together]
“it was the epoch of belief,” [Kevin continues to hold Jana tight]
“it was the epoch of incredulity;” [Jana’s face shows that she is once again conflicted]
“it was the season of Light,” [Another shot of the Winters family outside the nursery]
“it was the season of Darkness;” [Mackenzie’s body is covered up]
“it was the spring of hope,” [Michael and Lauren sit on the couch, holding hands]
“it was the winter of despair;” [a teary-eyed Eden packs her bag and puts a photo of Noah inside]
“we had everything before us,” [Ricky boards the plane to Los Angeles]
“we had nothing before us;” [Ryder sits alone in his motel room]
“we were all going directly to Heaven,” [Mackenzie’s body is wheeled out of the hospital room]
“we were all going the other way” [Victor and Ashley are frantically searching for Abby. The camera zooms in on Victor.]

Scott closes the book and looks up to see his own reflection in the mirror…
