Part 167*THANKSGIVING:DREAMING*

Scene 1-Edward's dream.

Edward: Goodness. Let me see if I have this right. Alan's joined the

mob, and now he's going to kill Tracy. You, (Pointing at Emily.) you,

you had a child and married the Spencer fellow here. And Lila just left

me for that young doctor. And you Monica, what, you've become the happy

homemaker?

Monica: Edward, where's your head, I've always been the happy homemaker.

Edward: Have you all lost your minds? Where in the world is Ned when you

need him? (Ned comes strolling in with Justus and Dara.) Thank goodness

you're here. What the hell's happened?

Ned: (Looking around.) What are you talking about grandfather?

Everything looks fine to me.

Justus: Not exactly, I was going through some files and I discovered

something very disturbing Edward.

Edward: What now?

Justus: You have another illegitimate child.

Edward: What? What do you mean?

Dara: Edward, I believe I can help you out.

Dara hands him a piece of paper.

Edward: What is this?

Dara: It's a birth certificate. My birth certificate, (In an annoying,

Tracy tone.) daddy.

Edward grabs for his heart.

Robin: How many illegitimate children does that make?

Alan: At last count, I think there was two.

Monica: Wait a second, Edward and Lila weren't legally married when they

had you and Tracy.

Emily: Ok, five.

Lila: (Smacks Edward on the back.) Good job Ed.

Edward falls on the floor, like he's having a heart attack. Jason,

Robin, Alan, Emily, Lucky, Monica, Ned, Dara, and Justus stand above

him.

Monica: Should we do something?

Alan: No, it's just one of father's faked heart attacks, maybe he's

afraid Dara is trying to get her hands on the Quartermaine millions, who

knows?

Emily: Grandfather, are you ok?

Edward wakes up in his chair in the den. Emily is standing there shaking

him.

Emily: Grandfather, are you ok?

Edward looks at her startled. He's clutching his heart.

Lila: Edward!

Edward: I'm fine. I'm glad you woke me. I just had the weirdest dream.

Emily: Really, I had one of those last night. I'll have to tell you

about it later.

Lila: It appears as though neither Alan or Monica are going to show up.

Ned, Lois, Nicole, Brooke, Brenda, Carly, and A.J. walk in.

Emily: At least the rest of the family is here.

A.J.: They aren't coming?

Ned: Did you really think they would?

Scene 2-Robert and Anna go in a hospital room. They walk in and see

Angela.

Robert: Is she going to be ok doctor?

Dr: There's no way we can tell right now. She sustained a very serious

injury.

Anna: Is there any chance she could die?

Dr: I typically decline to answer that question, and look on the

optimistic side. In this case, I'm going to be straight forward with

you, yes, it is very likely that she wont make it through this week.

Robert: Um, would it be possible to transport her back to the States?

Dr: Seeing as how she's close to the end, I think it'd be best. There's

a chance she could have an operation that would pull her through this,

but the doctor is leery of traveling across the ocean. He's in New York,

so if you do take her home, a surgery could be arranged.

Anna: How long do we have before it is too late?

Dr: I'd say if you were to get her to New York within two days she might

have a chance of making it through the surgery and living.

Robert: Then we've got to do it.

Scene 3-Stefan and Helena are at the house Stefan has hidden himself at.

Stefan: Mother, what brings you by?

Helena: I just received word that you had ordered one of our men to kill

Dr. Winters.

Stefan: Yes, she was working for the WSB behind my back. Has Maurice

sent any word on her condition?

Helena: Yes, she was taken to the hospital. Apparently Robert and Anna

Scorpio were able to find her and rescue her. She's listed in grave

condition. They don't think she'll make it much longer.

Stefan: I guess I should have Maurice's money forwarded to him. Is there

something else mother?

Helena: Yes, how do you plan on stopping the Scorpios?

Stefan: Without Winters, they have nothing.

Scene 4-Back to Jax's dream.

*DREAM* Julia and Brenda are fighting over Mac. Jax's kissing Matilda.

Jax: Oh, I've missed you so much.

Matilda: I had to stay away for your own good. You wouldn't have done

yourself any good to have been watching over my condition night and day.

Jax, I looked awful.

Jax: How did you survive?

Matilda: I managed to swim away and your father found me. He said after

the explosion he had this feeling things didn't go right. He said

something about deja vu.

Jax: It's good to have you back.

Matilda: How did you recognize me?

Jax: Your eyes.

Mac is having fun with Julia and Brenda fighting over him, when Carly

comes running through, then A.J. comes following her. He catches her.

Mac: What in the world?

Jax: What... How... How did you get in here?

A.J. violently turns Carly around. Carly is rubbing her stomach.

A.J.: Tell me the truth Carly.

Carly: (Crying.) The truth about what?

A.J.: As if you don't know. The truth about your feelings for Jax here.

Jax: What?

A.J.: Yeah, man. You didn't know? I thought I was the only one running

around town clueless. Wait, that's Tony. I actually have a clue.

Julia: A.J., what are you talking about?

A.J.: Carly drugged me because she was tired of me chasing her all over

town, then she drugged Jax, which by the way he doesn't know about, he

just thought he'd gotten drunk. Anyhow, Carly's pregnant with Jax's

baby.

Carly is crying and rubbing her stomach. Jax has a look of amazement on

his face. Then Jax pushes down Matilda and runs to Carly.

Jax: You're pregnant with my child?

Carly: (Crying, even more.) Yes.

Jax: Oh, that's amazing. I've always wanted a child.

Jax hugs Carly. Julia, Brenda, Matilda, and A.J. look at Jax in

amazement. Mac stands there wondering where all his attention has gone.

Brenda: You wanted a child? Oh, if only my pregnancy test had turned out

different after the cave incident. Hey, wait a second! How did that turn

out, again?

Julia: I can still bare children.

Matilda: Me, too.

Jax: But Carly's going to have my baby. Carly, (Gets down on one knee.)

will you marry me? Even though I don't think I've ever really met you

before. Even though I don't know you at all. Even though I've never even

said "hello" to you.

Carly: (Crying a bucket full of tears.) Oh, yes!

Mac: Hey girls what about me?

The women ignore him. A.J.’s upset and angry.

A.J.: Wait a second! You can't marry her, because...

Jax: Because what?

A.J.: I'm... I'm having her child!

Mac: Oh, I've got to get out of here, this is too much. I think I'll go

to Kevin and Lucy's.

Jax wakes up sweating and frightened.

Julia: Are you ok?

Jax: Yeah, I guess. Do you ever think it would be possible for a man to

become pregnant?

Julia: Huh? Have you been watching reruns of the Cosby Show or

something? I remember that episode where all the men were pregnant in

somebody's dream.

Jax: Actually, it was my dream. I've never seen the Cosby Show.

Scene 5-Luke and Laura are in their bedroom.

Laura: I can't believe I let in Rick in this house after what happened

last night.

Luke: What was the alternative?

Laura: Tell my mother, but I can't do that today. I don't think I should

have to be the one to.

Luke: Maybe Rick will tell her in his own time.

Laura: Maybe.

Luke: Why don't you lie down and get a little rest before your mother's

done with the dinner.

Laura lies down on the bed, as Luke walks out. She falls asleep.

*DREAM* Laura, Nick, Luke, Lu, Lucky, Monica, Rick, Alan, and Emily are

setting at the dinner table. Rick and Monica are kissing. Emily is

holding hands with Nick, while Lucky tickles her leg under the table.

Laura: Rick, could you stop that, mother will be out with the turkey in

a second.

Monica and Rick continue. Lesley comes out with the turkey. She lies it

on the table and sits, she sees Rick and Monica, but doesn't do

anything.

Luke: The bird looks lovely Les.

Laura: Mother, is there something wrong?

Lesley: No, is something wrong with you?

Laura: Aren't you going to say anything to Rick?

Lesley: What? Rick and Monica have been married for years, is there

anything wrong with expressing their love to each other?

Laura: Mother, what are you talking about? You and Rick are married.

Alan: I beg your pardon, Lesley and I've been married for almost twenty

years now. We have a son named Jason. Where is he anyhow?

Lesley: He said he'd be here as soon as he could be.

Laura: Oh, this is insane. What about A.J.?

Monica: Oh, you mean R.J., he had an emergency bypass to perform.

Laura: R.J.?

Rick: Yes, Monica's and my son.

Laura: I'm confused.

Scene 6-Ned, Lois, Brooke, Nicole, Edward, Lila, Emily, A.J., Brenda,

and Carly are in the Quartermaine den.

A.J.: I thought maybe one of them would show up.

Emily: Eventually they'll both cool off and come back.

Edward: How can you be so sure?

Ned: Given family history, Emily's right, it'd be a sure bet.

Lila: Oh I hope so. Well, Cook should have everything ready, shall we

head to the dining room?

Edward: Yes, I'm hungry.

Edward starts to wheel Lila out, when Reg comes in.

Emily: Oh no, this isn't good.

Nicole: What?

Edward: Reginald, please tell me that the turkey is ready.

Reginald: Yes, sir, it was.

Lois: Was?

Brenda: What do you mean?

Reginald: It seems both the Drs. Quartermaine were going to show up for

dinner. They both went into the kitchen, Cook was not happy at all.

Anyhow, not only was Cook not happy, neither were Alan and Monica. Cook

bolted refusing to do anything about the mess they made.

Lila: What mess?

Reginald: They had a little food fight. First, Alan threw some mash

potatoes at Monica. Then, she threw the gravy at him. Eventually, they

ended up wearing dinner.

Emily: What about the turkey?

Reginald: It ended up on Alan's head.

Everyone but Edward begins to laugh.

Edward: You know what this means don't you?

Ned: Make mine pepperoni!

Scene 7-Jax and Julia's flight lands.

Julia: I've been in suspense for too long. Where are we?

Jax: Look outside.

Julia: (Looks out window and sees snow.) That gives me no clue. For all

I know, we could be in Port Charles.

Jax: Ah, take a guess. I guarantee you we aren't in the state of New

York.

Julia: Let's see, it's not New York and there's snow. We are in the

United States, aren't we?

Jax: Yes.

Julia: Do you know someone here?

Jax: I know people everywhere.

Julia: Give me a clue.

Jax: It's very close to home.

Julia: Alaska!

Jax: Bingo. Now, you finally get to meet my mother.

Scene 8-Back to Laura's dream.

*DREAM*

Lucky: Mom, do you need to have your head examined? Rick and Monica have

been married for 20 years and they have a son named Rick, Jr. who's 25.

Grandma and Alan have been married for 25 years and they have a son

named Jason, who's 23.

Emily: Rick and Monica adopted me after my mother died.

Laura: I remembered that, but I thought Alan and Monica adopted you.

Luke: Babe, I think you need a little rest. Your mind's playing tricks

on you.

Luke starts to carve into the turkey, when Emily screams out in pain.

Lucky: What is it? Is it the baby?

Emily: Yeah, I think it's time.

Laura: What?

Monica: Emily's about to deliver.

Laura: Deliver?!? She's pregnant?!?

Rick Jr. comes bursting in.

Rick: Good you're here son, you can help us get Emily out to the car,

she's going into labor.

R.J.: No can do dad, I barely made it here. There's a terrible storm.

We'll have to deliver the baby right here.

Nikolas: This could be interesting.

Lesley examines Emily.

Lesley: She could deliver at anytime.

Nikolas: Should we take her upstairs?

Lesley: Actually, I don't think we should move her from this room.

R.J.: Clear off the table.

Lucky throws everything off the table.

Monica: I don't think that was necessary.

Lucky: I guess I'm a little nervous. After all, this is my first child.

Alan: Yeah, but I'm awful hungry.

Luke: Well, I guess we could do like Skillethead and eat it off the

floor.

Alan: Good idea.

Alan and Luke get on all fours and begin to eat.

Rick: Can I join you two?

Luke: Sure.

Rick gets down with them. Emily continues to scream out in pain as

Lesley and Monica help Emily. Nick and Lucky both pace around the room,

trying to avoid the men who are on the floor. As Emily continues to

push, she is screaming out all sorts of things.

Emily: This is Nick's baby!

Lucky: What?

Monica: She just said this is Nick's baby.

Lesley: Why does this scenario seem so familiar?

Monica: I don't know, but I was getting that feeling, too.

Nick: The baby is mine?

Emily: (As the baby is coming out.) Yes!

Nick: Oh god.

Sarah Webber (Not really in this story, just part of dream.) comes in

with one of those shirts the Webbers wear.

Laura: Who are you?

Sarah: Your daughter-in-law.

Nick: My wife.

Lucky: My one true love.

Lucky runs to her, Nick runs to her, as if no one else is in the room.

Emily: Hey you two! I just had one of you's child.

They ignored her.

Steve: Did I hear her right Nickolas?

Nick: She's insane.

Lucky: No, it's true, it's Nick's child.

Scene 9-Jason and Robin are at the penthouse.

Robin: I guess no one is going to be able to make it.

Jason: Yeah. So, what was your alternative plan?

Robin: Follow me and I will show you.

Robin begins to walk out of the penthouse, with Jason following. Then,

the phone rings. Jason answers.

Robert: Jason, it's Robert. Can I speak to Robin?

Jason: Robin, it's your father.

Robin takes the phone.

Robin: Hi dad.

Robert: Robin, your mother and I are coming back to Port Charles.

Robin: Did everything turn out alright?

Robert: Not exactly.

Robin: You and mom are alright, aren't you?

Robert: Yes, we are, but our partner wasn't as fortunate. She was shot

might not survive. We're bringing her back to New York for a last ditch

operation.

Scene 10-Back to Laura's dream.

*DREAM* Liz comes bursting in. Emily screams again and another child's

delivered.

Lesley: Twins.

Liz: Actually, dear sister, they both slept with Ms. Emily there. And,

those twins over there that were just born, well, see they have two

different fathers. Nick and Lucky.

Sarah: Could that really happen?

R.J.: Yes, in fact, there is very good possibility with this case that

it did.

Sarah: How do you know that?

R.J.: Emily had tests conducted to see if this had happened, and it had.

Emily: I thought those tests were confidential.

Rick: They are.

R.J.: Ooops, me and my big mouth.

Sarah runs off.

Nikolas: Oh no.

Lucky: Damn!

Liz: This time it was so easy. I didn't have to steal any test answers

and plant them on Sarah. And I didn't have to buy any condoms and plant

them in a shopping bag.

Laura: Excuse me, but who are you?

Liz: Liz Webber. Typically referred to as Sarah's younger sister. I'm

Jeff Webber's daughter. Audrey Hardy's my grandmother.

Laura: How does that make Audrey your grandmother?

Liz: Good question. A lot of people keep asking me that. You know who

could explain this, Amy, are you around?

Amy pops out of nowhere.

Amy: Ok, here's a chart to explain everything.

Amy has a chart out and is using a pointer to go through it.

Liz: Amy, it's so nice to see you outside of the hospital.

Amy: It's so nice to be seen outside of the hospital. Anyhow, here we

go. Liz and Sarah are Jeff Webber's daughters. Steve Hardy was Jeff's

father. Jeff's mother had an affair with Steve before Steve went off to

the war. She discovered she was pregnant and went back to her husband

and they raised Jeff as a Webber. (Alan, Rick, R.J., Luke, Monica, Nick,

Lucky, and Lesley come over to listen.) Jeff didn't find out he was

Steve's son until right before he was leaving Port Charles. Anyhow,

supposedly Lizzie and Sarah have come to Port Charles before for visits,

however, I've never seen them or heard about them until just recently.

Anyways, to get to the point, Audrey treated the girls just like they

were her granddaughters, even though they weren't, so they consider her

their "gram."

Everyone applauds, as Emily's still lying on the table.

Emily: Hello! Remember me? Hello!

Laura wakes.

Luke: Hello honey. Lesley has dinner ready.

Laura: Ok, well, I guess I can make it through this.

Luke: Let's hope so.

Part 168

Scene 1-At Scott's; Lee, Gail, Serena, Karen, and Rhonda are in the

living room after dinner.

Serena: Daddy, when are Lucy and Kevin coming back?

Scott: Um, they don't know for sure.

Karen: Where are they anyhow?

Scott: They went to Texas to help Mac look for Felicia.

Rhonda: Felicia's missing?

Karen: Do they have any idea what happened to her?

Scott: No.

Scene 2-Joe, Frank, Mary, and Julie are all having Thanksgiving dinner

at the Scanlons.

F: Mom, this is delicious.

M: Thank you, but I did have some help you know.

Julie: Yes, she did.

Joe: Julie, everything's delicious. Both of you did a wonderful job. Um,

where's Eve?

Julie: I don't know. But, I didn't expect her to be here, I thought

maybe Karen would be here, though.

F: Yeah. Joe, where's Karen?

Scene 3-Chris and Eve are at Chris'.

C: I'm glad you decided to join me. I wasn't much up to the Scanlon

bash, that Julie invited me to. I wasn't about to go back home.

E: Let's get this straight, the only reason I'm here is free food.

C: Ah, and I thought you liked me.

E: In your dreams.

C: Actually, that'd probably be my nightmares.

Scene 4-Robert and Anna are at the hospital, they are talking to the

doctor.

R: Could you contact the family for us?

Dr: Sure, but perhaps it would come better from you.

A: Um, its better that you call.

Dr: As you wish.

A: Thanks. (The doctor leaves.) I don't think a call from the dead is

what her daughters or the Quartermaines will want to hear.

Scene 5-Jason and Robin walks in an old, rundown building.

J: Where are we?

Jason and Robin walk in a kitchen.

R: Thanksgiving dinner.

Jason looks through the door as it swings back and forth. Jason sees a

line of homeless people with plates.

J: What's going on?

R: This is a homeless shelter. We're going to serve food.

J: Ok. (Goes outside.) Renaldo, Frank, Perry, Adrian, come inside.

(Walks back in.)

R: What're you doing?

J: We're all going to serve Thanksgiving dinner.

Scene 6-Tom is at the Brownstone, when the phone rings. Tom answers it.

Jeremy: Tom, it's Jeremy Erickson. I just got a call from Greece about

Angela Winters. She's been shot, it looks bad and they want me to

operate.

Tom swallows hard.

T: Thanks.

Tom immediately hangs up. Tommy comes running in.

Tommy: What was that?

Tom: Um, why don't you go to your mom's, I have to go to the hospital.

Scene 7-Frank, Julie, Joe, and Mary are having Thanksgiving dinner.

Joe: For your information, Karen is at her father's house, having

Thanksgiving dinner with her whole family.

F: Ok.

Joe: Satisfied?

Scene 8-Ned is on the telephone at the Quartermaine mansion.

Ned: Thank you very much. I'll tell my daughter. (Walks in the dining

room; Brenda, Lois, Brooke, A.J., Carly, Lila, Edward, Emily, and Nicole

are.) Nicole, I need to talk to you.

Nicole: What is it?

Ned: It's important. We should talk in private. Let's go out in the

hall.

Everyone looks puzzled. Ned and Nicole go into the hall.

Nicole: What's wrong?

Ned: It's your mother. She's been injured. They're bringing her back to

Port Charles for surgery.

Nicole: What?

Ned: From what they told me on the phone, she was shot. And, and, (Puts

his hand on Nicole's shoulder.) she might not make it.

Nicole: Oh God! (Breaks down and tears and takes off. As she is running,

she is screaming.) How?!? How?!?

Scene 9-Jason, Robin, and Jason's bodyguards are seated with the

homeless people eating their turkey dinners.

R: So, what do you think?

J: I feel sorry for this little kids. I'm thinking back to when I lived

in the boxcar, and to imagine a little kid with all of their senses and

feelings living in conditions like that, I really feel sorry for them. I

just wish there was something more we could do for these people.

R: There is. Sonny used to give this place a donation every Christmas.

They depend on that donation.

J: I'd be happy, too.

R: Terrific. (Hugs Jason.) People just don't know how caring and

sensitive you are.

J: Hey, you're going to ruin my tough guy image.

Scene 10-Tom meets up with Jeremy at GH.

T: When does she come in?

J: They said that her plane should be arriving in a few hours.

T: Do we know how she was shot?

J: She was working for the WSB and was shot in the line of duty.

T: The WSB? Who did you talk to?

J: A man with an Australian accent and a woman with a British accent.

They didn't tell me their names.

Part 169

Scene 1-The next day, Nicole wakes up in a waiting room at GH. She looks

around, wondering where she is and what happened. Steve walks up to her.

N: How'd I get here?

S: I found you by the docks last night and you told me about your

mother. I had my dad check on everything. He talked to Tom. He said they

should be bringing your mother in any moment. Dr. Erickson's going to

operate on her.

N: Is he good?

S: Dad says he's the best.

Ned and Lois come running in.

Ned: Oh, I'm glad you're here. I was beginning to worry.

L: (To Steve.) Thanks for calling.

S: No problem.

Then, Frank Scanlon and another ambulance person brings Angela in.

Nicole: Mom, oh, she almost looks dead.

Nicole begins to cry. Steve hugs Nicole.

S: Hey, it's ok. It's going to be ok.

Scene 2-Joe, Karen, Eve, Julie, Chris, Matt and Jake are in the on-call

room.

C: So, we're all here to observe this big surgery?

E: I'm sure Burgess expects us all to be here.

M: Getting to see Dr. Erickson work is the opportunity of a lifetime.

C: Ok. Who wants to place bets on if Winters makes it through?

E: (Hits Chris.) Oh, you're disgusting.

The phone rings. Julie picks it up.

Joe: ...Ok, thank you. (Hangs phone up.) That was Frank. They just

brought Dr. Winters in.

Jake: Time to get to the observation room.

Scene 3-Jax and Julia are on a plane. The plane lands.

Jax: How'd you like my parents?

Julia: They're terrific.

Jax: And Alaska?

Julia: It was a little cold, but it was nice.

Jax: Ok, now to a more important question. What do you think about me?

Scene 4-Angela is being wheeled into OR, she is semi-conscious. Tom is

following Angela as she is being wheeled down the hall.

A: (Weak.) Robert, Anna, are they ok?

The crew gets Angela into the OR.

T: Robert and Anna? WSB? British and Australian? Robert and Anna Scorpio

are alive?

Scene 5-Ellen goes to the nurses station, where Amy and Paul are.

E: Excuse me Amy.

A: Yes.

E: I'm going to be observing the surgery on Dr. Winters. So, if one of

my patients has a problem you know where to page me at.

A: Ok.

Ellen walks off.

P: Dr. Winters? As in Angela?

A: Yeah, she was shot, she might not make it.

P: Oh God.

Paul runs off.

Scene 6-Robert and Anna go to the Spencers.

Luke: Come join the masses of the supposedly dead.

Bobbie and Tony come out of the kitchen.

Anna: Hello.

Luke: So, did you get what you needed on Stefan?

Robert: No, our key person was shot and she is seriously injured.

Luke: That ain't good. Hmm... Maybe it's time you all have a coming out

party, maybe get some reaction out of Stefan or something.

Robert: It's a possibility, but it seems silly to have gone to all of

the trouble of hiding Bobbie and Tony.

Luke: He already knows they're alive.

B: I am getting tired of hiding.

Anna: Well, if we all just show up in public, a lot of people could have

heart attacks.

Luke: They'd get over it eventually.

T: Eventually.

Scene 7-Tom, Paul, Ned, Lois, Nicole, Steve, Emily, Lucky, and Monica

are in the waiting room. Steve walks to Emily and Lucky.

S: This is bad. Nicole's hurting bad. Why don't you two go talk to her?

E: Sure. (They walk to Nicole.) Nicole.

Nicole: Thanks for being here.

Lucky: No problem.

Nicole looks at Lucky and cries. She grabs Lucky and hugs him. He

reluctantly embraces her. Emily looks on with a little worry.

Scene 8-Jax and Julia are on the plane.

Julia: How I feel about you?

Jax: Yeah.

Julia: Well, I think you are...

Jax's cell phone rings.

Jax: Excuse me... Jax here... She was?... When?... Thank you... Bye.

(Folds cell phone up.) Julia, I have to get to the hospital. A friend of

mine is in serious condition.

Jax takes off.

Julia: (By herself.) You're incredibly sexy, smart, caring, and I think

I love you.

Scene 9-Jake, Ellen, Matt, Joe, Karen, Julie, Eve, and Chris are in the

observation room watching surgery. Jake gets a page. He goes to a pay

phone in the hall and calls.

Jake: What?

Rex: Jakey, I need your assistance.

Jake: What now?

Scene 10-Jax shows up at the nurses station.

J: Amy, do you have any word on Angela Winters?

Amy: No, she was just taken into surgery, though.

A: Not good.

Jax slams his fist on the counter and then he walks off.

Part 170

Scene 1-Luke, Bobbie, Tony, Robert, and Anna are in the front room of

the Spencer house.

Luke: Well, how about Anna, Robert?

Laura comes in.

Laura: How about what?

A: Luke suggested Robert and I put in a public appearance.

Laura: Oh.

Luke: Yeah. Why don't we go check on Angela's condition?

Laura: Are you sure this is wise? What about Helena and Stefan?

Luke: It's the perfect bait, they'll slip up somehow and not catch on.

R: Ok, we'll go.

B: Be careful.

Luke, Robert, and Anna leave.

T: What happens next?

Laura: Who knows.

Scene 2-Jason and Robin are at the penthouse. Jason kisses Robin.

J: Robin, I have to go to Canada for a few days. I have some info I have

to pick up. Will you be ok?

R: Yes, my parents will be back soon.

J: That's good. How about Mac, has he had any luck finding Felicia?

R: No, and now he isn't very optimistic.

Robin looks down.

J: I'm sorry. (Kisses Robin.) I love you. I'll miss you.

Scene 3-Lois, Ned, Nicole, Steve, Emily, Lucky, Paul, and Monica are in

the waiting room. Lucky and Nicole have broken their hug. Steve smiles.

Emily is not happy.

Nicole: Thanks.

Lucky: Sure.

J: Any word?

T: Nothing yet, Dr. Erickson should be sending someone out soon to

update us.

Alan comes out.

Scene 4-Brenda goes to Julia's hotel room.

J: What're you doing here?

B: I came to see what you've been up to.

J: Really?

B: Yes, so what have you been up to?

Scene 5-Lois, Ned, Nicole, Steve, Emily, Lucky, Paul, Tom, Monica, Jax,

and Alan are in the waiting room.

Ned: Alan, how is it going so far?

A: So far, so good.

T: How far along is Dr. Erickson?

A: Jeremy estimated another two hours before the procedure is complete.

J: Thank you.

Alan gives Monica a nasty look and walks off. Steve, Lucky, Emily, and

Nicole go off to a corner.

S: That sounded like a ray of hope.

Nicole: Yeah. Will you excuse me?

E: Sure.

Nicole goes off to a corner by herself.

Lucky: Should we do something?

B: With Jax?

J: Yes.

Scene 7-A.J. and Justus are at the ELQ offices.

J: There's no way to get Stefan out.

A: Even though he's supposedly left town?

J: Sorry. But, it looks like Helena Cassadine holds his proxy on any

votes.

A: Oh geez.

J: I wouldn't worry about it too terribly much. They only have one vote,

it's not like they've acquired all the stock. Now, I've got to go to the

Spencers, about Ruby's will. Bye.

Scene 8-Julia and Brenda are at Julia's.

J: What did you do for Thanksgiving?

B: I spent it with the Quartermaines.

in Alaska.

J: You really want to know, don't you?

B: Yeah, it's driving me crazy.

Scene 9-At the Spencers, the doorbell rings. Laura answers the door, it

is Justus.

J: Is Luke here? I thought we'd discuss Ruby's will.

and sit down. (Laura and Justus sit down.) So, how are you?

Lucky: I'll explain.

Luke, Emily, and Lucky leave.

Ned: Does this have something to do with Angela?

R: Yes. She worked for the WSB.

kind of secret job that no one knew about?

Scene 2-Laura and Justus are at the Spencers.

Laura: Stefan bought stock in ELQ?

J: Yes, and now A.J.'s petrified that he'll have to deal with Helena

Cassadine, because Stefan has left town. But, I didn't come here to talk

about the Cassadines. I came to discuss Ruby's will. I found it odd that

she left her one property, Kelly's, to Bobbie.

after Bobbie's death.

Thanksgiving.

Tom are in the waiting room.

anything else.

Nicole: Who are you two, anyhow?

J: Robert and Anna Scorpio, they were presumed dead.

R: (Small smile.) Hello Jax.

J: Hello.

Alan comes out of OR.

Scene 5-Lucy, Kevin, and Mac are in Texas. They are in Maria's kitchen

looking at a map.

and Alan are all in the waiting room.

daughter.

Alan goes to Nicole. Ned and Lois stand behind her. Steve stands beside

her.

Nicole: How did it go?

Alan: I'm sorry. She didn't make it.

Nicole breaks down in tears, falling in Lois' arms. A tear streams down

Luke: Then, what happens now?

Scene 2-Lucy, Kevin, and Mac are at the burial grounds.

Karen: What? What time is it?

Joe: A quarter to eleven.

Karen: Ugh! Well, you know what, I'll take you up on that drink, then.

Joe: Great, then let's go. (Karen and Joe begin to get on the elevator,

interns are going to have to stick around.

bread crumbs.

Serena's bedtime.

Lucy: I know, I'm sorry.

Lucy: We may have found her, but they have to dig or something. I don't

have a very good feeling about this.

Scott: One of your wacko psycho things?

Lucy: You mean psychic?

Scott: Yeah, that, too.

Lucy: I'm not sure.

Scott: Well, you guys need to hurry and find and get back here so we can

figure out the Cassadines.

Lucy: Figure out the Cassadines? That's a tall order, pal.

Scott: I know, but something's off.

Lucy: Which is what I got be. Doc is telling me, Mac has to call Robin.

Scott: I'll talk to you later.

Scene 5-Carly, Stefan, and A.J. are in the Quartermaine living room.

Stefan: She was working with Dr. Dorman and she knew Bobbie, Tony, and

Lucas were alive this whole time.

A.J.: Is it true?

Carly: A.J., believe me, I never meant to hurt you.

A.J.: You were just after money.

Carly: No.

A.J.: Yes, you were. Just admit it.

Carly: Ok, at first I was, but I really love you.

Scene 6-Laura, Justus, and Luke are in the Spencer living room.

Justus: Typically the property would go to you, but since I never saw

Bobbie's will, I'm not sure.

Luke: She had the Brownstone property set up to go to Felicia. There was

no real will.

Laura: Is that a problem?

Justus: No, I just thought maybe she would have left something for

Joe: Oh no.

Ellen: Have either of you seen Dr. Marshak?

Scene 8-Mac lies in bed thinking of Felicia. The Garth Brooks song "If

Tomorrow Never Comes" plays as Mac tosses and turns.

Lyrics:

Sometimes late at night

I lie awake and watch her sleeping

She's lost in peaceful dreams

So I turn out the lights and lay there in the dark

And the thought crosses my mind

If I never wake up in the morning

Would she ever doubt the way I feel

About her in my heart

Chorus:

If tomorrow never comes

Will she know how much I loved her

Did I try in every way to show her everyday

That she's my only one

And if my time on earth were through

And she must face the world without me

Is the love I gave her in the past

Gonna be enough to last

If tomorrow never comes

'Cause I've lost loved ones in my life

Who never knew how much I loved them

Now I live with the regret

That my true feelings for them never were revealed

So I made a promise to myself

To say each day how much she means to me

And avoid that circumstance

Where there's no second chance to tell her how I feel

Repeat Chorus

So tell that someone that you love

Just what you're thinking of

If tomorrow never comes

Scene 9-A.J. and Carly are in bed.

song "I Found Love" plays.

Lyrics:

Some will never fall

And some will wait a lifetime

For that moment I would gladly have it all

Though the chance is small

Some people show it

The moment they know it

Some know just what to do and say

Some try to hide it

Some try to deny it

Trust in your heart will lead the way

Every time I'm near you

I can feel you deep inside

I want to hold you in my arms

I know this can't be wrong

I looked into your eyes and I found love

Time will heal our hearts

Once your will is hoping

It doesn't matter how far apart we are

Our love will find a way to start

Some people show it

The moment they know it

Some know just what to do and say

Some try to hide it

Some try to deny it

Trust in your heart will lead the way

Every time I'm near you

I can feel you deep inside

When you're in my arms

Every time I'm near you I can feel you deep inside

Deep inside

I know this can't be wrong

I look into your eyes

I found love

I found love
