Flashback

Destination: Old Harmony, January 2003, Crane Estate

Gwen: Well Qlinn� did you get all of the evidence that Ethan wasn�t taken from where he was when we found him?

Qlinn: Yes Gwen. Was it really necessary to do that?

Gwen: Yes. It was.

Qlinn: Why?

Gwen: If you knew Theresa, you�d know that she would come back to the Crane Estate 3 or 4 years from now to try to find evidence that he is still alive.

Qlinn: Yeah. She probably would. Well, I�m going to get the car started.

(Watching Qlinn get in the car, she pulls out the magic scroll of Tabitha�s)

Gwen: (Walking farther from the car) Now� what was this thing saying?

(She opens the scroll and a picture is shown)

(In the picture it says, �On December 25, 2006 at exactly 12:06 am� and beneath it shows a picture of

(The picture is a grave stone with the following engraved on it �Qlinn Benjamin Goldheart; died on December 25, 2006 at 12:06 am.� �He was a good man�)

Gwen: No! (She takes the picture from the scroll but it disappears in her hand)

Qlinn: (Shouting) Gwen! Come on, before the police show up!

(She buries the scroll under a rock shaped like a heart)

FLASHBACK ENDS
Gwen: And that�s why Qlinn is going to die tonight, Hank.

(She looks over and sees Hank sleeping on the couch)

Gwen: Hank? (She pulls a cover over him and looks at the clock)

Gwen: I have to stop Qlinn. (She gets 3 feet from the door)

Gwen: Uh-uh. Where is Ethan? Where is he? (She puts her purse down and runs upstairs)

(In his bedroom, he is sound asleep)

Gwen: (Relieved) Good� he�s just sleeping. Theresa can�t bother him now.

Gwen: Oh� look. He left his clothes and shoes on. I can�t let him sleep like that.

(She comes up to him and takes his shoes off; she sets them on the chair. Then she takes his jacket off and then pulls the blanket over him)

Gwen: There. Sleep well, Ethan.

(She picks up the stuff she took off of him and she opens the closet door and throws them in, the shoes hit Theresa in the head)

Theresa: Ouch!

Gwen: Theresa?

Theresa: Uh� hi. Gwen.

(The bedroom light goes on, and Theresa gets up)

Theresa: Who just turned the light on?

(Blocking Theresa, she looks back at Ethan�s bed and notices that he isn�t in it)

Gwen: Oh no�

Ethan: What the hell are you doing Gwen?

Theresa: Who is that?

(Gwen shuts the closet door in Theresa�s face)

Ethan: Is someone in there? (Coming toward her)
Gwen: Ethan. Stay back!

Ethan: Why?

(Theresa pounds on the door and screams)

Theresa: Ethan!!!! Ethan!!! If that�s you, run! Run!

Ethan: Don�t listen to her Ethan. She escaped from mental hospital.

Theresa: Who is that, Gwen?

Gwen: Nobody�go get the phone for me so I can call the hospital.

Theresa: It�s me Ethan! Theresa!

Ethan: Theresa?

Theresa: Run� Ethan! Run! Meet me at our special place! Run!

Gwen: Now Ethan. Don�t tell me you are going to listen to this freak!

(Ethan looks at Gwen)

Ethan: You lied to me, Gwen! (He runs)

Gwen: No! Ethan!

Theresa: Give it up, Gwen! Your time is over with Ethan. I should have known that you had him locked up in this house the entire time!

Gwen: No!!!! No!! Think Gwen! Think!

Theresa: You can�t keep me in here all night, Gwen. I told him to go to our special place� and he�s going there right now.

Gwen: Ha. That�s it! Thank you Theresa.

Theresa: What?

(Gwen pulls a bookshelf in front of the closet and blocks the door from being open.)

Gwen: (Laughing) Bye Bye. Sweetheart! (She leaves)

Theresa: No! Gwen! AHHHHH!!!! I�m going to kill her!

Meanwhile at Kay and Miguel�s House

Kay and Miguel�s Bedroom

Kay: Miguel? What�s going on with us? Why were you crying?

Miguel: I�m sorry. Kay. I will make this up to you. Meet me back here tonight after the party� at 11:30pm.

Kay: Okay. But� why did you run out on me?

Miguel: We�ll talk about it tonight. I promise.

Kay: Okay. But if something like this happens again�. I�ll know something is going on that you are not telling me. (She hands him his shirt and leaves)

Miguel: Oh man� what have I gotten my self into?

(Putting his shirt on, he exits)

Downstairs

(Sheridan, Luis, Carrie, and Qlinn enter)

Jessica: hey, guys. It�s about time you�ve come.

Miguel: Where is Theresa?

Luis: I have no clue. I thought she was already here.

Kay: She�ll be here. She never misses our party.

Miguel: (Distancing himself from the rest of them) Hi. Qlinn.

Qlinn: (Smiling) Oh. Hi, Miguel. (Looking at Luis)

Miguel: Um� can we talk?

Qlinn: What for?

Miguel: Well� that�s what I thought you wanted.

Qlinn: (Realization) Oh. Yeah� um. Okay.

(The doorbell rings)

Miguel: I�ll see you in the kitchen then.

(Miguel answers the door)

Noah: Hey. Miguel. Is Theresa here?

Miguel: No. Not yet.

Noah: Oh. Well. I guess I�ll go home then.

Miguel: No. Stay here. I�m sure that�s what Kay and Jessica would want.

Noah: Alright. I guess I�ll stay.

(He comes in and sits down next to Kay)

Reese: Simone� can I talk to you in the kitchen?

Simone: Sure.

In The KITCHEN

Qlinn: Hi. Miguel.

Miguel: Qlinn� I know we haven�t seen each other for a while now. And I want to show you how much I love you.

Qlinn: Oh� well. Oh are you going to do that, Miguel?

Miguel: Come with me upstairs� I�ll show you. (The both head upstairs, when Simone and Reese come into the kitchen)

Reese: Simone. I know how suspicious you are of Jessica.

Simone: Yeah.

Reese: I just thought that I should tell you this. Because� if I don�t tell anyone I might as well die!

Simone: What is it? Why is Jessica acting like this?

Jessica: Tell her Reese. (Coming in)

Jessica: Tell her all about how. I took over Jessica�s body and made love to you just so that our baby could become the evil ruler of the underworld.

Simone: What?

Jessica: Yeah. It�s me� I�m ba-ack.

Simone: No.

Reese: It�s Hecuba�s Daughter� the one who froze Charity in that block of ice 5 years ago and tried to kill everyone in Harmony.

Jessica: Oh. I didn�t try to! I succeeded. All of Harmony burned to ashes. Oh it was so much fun watching everyone in Harmony suffer like that.

Simone: Well. I can tell you this. You might have destroyed all of Harmony, but you missed destroying us. We�re still alive!

Simone: Wait a minute! What happened to your baby?

Jessica: Hmm� should I be the one to tell her? Oh� well of course I should!

Jessica: This bonehead over here purposely dropped it down a flight of stairs just because it was evil.

Simone: No� Reese wouldn�t purposely do something like that. He wouldn�t hurt a mosquito.

Jessica: Whatever!

Simone: Well that�s great! The baby is dead. Well� you know what I mean. If the baby isn�t alive it can�t take over as the ruler of the underworld like this witch said!

Jessica: Oh. You are dead wrong, honey.

Simone: What? How�s that?

Jessica: Tell her. Reese.

Reese: Well�

Jessica: I threatened him to have sex with me and make a new one. (Giggling)

Simone: Reese!

Reese: What? The devil made me do it! I swear!

Simone: Oh� this is a good thing though. I have all of the time in the world. That baby won�t be born till another long period of months from now.
Jessica: Once again, you�re wrong.

Simone: Huh?

Reese: She�s a witch. She has all of the power she needs.

Jessica: Meaning� I can have the baby pop out of me right now if I wanted to.
And you know what� I think I will have it right now. I was going to save it for Valentine�s Day but I decided, oh what the heck. Let�s do it now. Reese� give me a ride to the hospital� I think I�m going to have a baby.

Meanwhile at Qlinn�s House

Theresa is still in the closet

Theresa: AHHH!!! Let me out! Let me out!

(Mrs. Barkley comes in)

Mrs. Barkley: What the�

Theresa: Hello. Is someone out there?

Mrs. Barkley: It�s just me.

Theresa: Can you let me out?

Mrs. Barkley: I guess so. But what are you doing in there?

Theresa: Gwen! She locked me in here.

Mrs. Barkley: Oh� you poor thing. (Theresa comes out of the closet)

Theresa: I�m terribly sorry Mrs. Barkley but I can�t talk now. I have to get to Gwen and Ethan. (She quickly runs out the door)

Mrs. Barkley: Nobody wants to talk to me anymore!

(Theresa gets in her car)

(She starts it and notices that all four of her tires are flat)

Theresa: No!!! Gwen� how do I get there now?

(She looks over at Qlinn�s motorcycle)

Theresa: Beats walking! (She jumps on the bike) No!!! I need the keys! Where are the keys?

Mrs. Barkley: Here you go honey. (Handing Theresa the keys)

Theresa: Um� what are you doing with these?

Mrs. Barkley: Gwen and Qlinn ran over my dear kitten last week. So I took his motorcycle keys. He�s never seen them ever since.

Theresa: Thank you. You�re the nicest person I�ve ever met.

Mrs. Barkley: No problem. Dear.
(She starts it up and drives off waving good bye to Mrs. Barkley)

Meanwhile in Old Harmony

Ethan: Is this the place she was talking about? (Standing under a huge tree on the Crane Estate)


Meanwhile in Miguel�s Bedroom

Qlinn: So why did you bring me up here?

Miguel: I want to show you how much I love you.

Qlinn: Okay.

Miguel: I�ll be back. Sit here. (He goes into the bathroom)

Qlinn: This isn�t good. How do I tell Miguel that I�m not interested in him anymore? And that I�m totally in love with his hunky brother� LUIS!!!

Miguel: Luis? What about him?

Qlinn: Oh. Nothing� I just. Well� I was just thinking of something he said to me this earlier. Ha. He�s so funny�

Qlinn�s thought: And damn fine, too.

Miguel: Okay� well. Enough about my brother. I�m going to knock your socks off!

(Miguel takes his shirt off)

Qlinn: Oh no.
Miguel: (Sitting next to him on the bed) Well?

Qlinn: Um. Yeah?

Miguel: This is how I�m going to show you how much I love you.

Qlinn: Miguel. I�ve seen your body before. Yeah� it�s pretty good. But how is this supposed to show me how much you love me?

Miguel: By� doing this.

(Miguel pulls Qlinn�s shirt off)

Qlinn: (Starting to get uncomfortable) Um� Miguel. What are you doing?

Miguel: We�re going to make love Qlinn.

Qlinn: Oh.

Miguel: Why? What�s wrong? I thought you loved me!

Qlinn: Um. Yeah. I still do Miguel. Let�s just make love.

Qlinn�s Thought: But� I�m afraid it�s going to be our last.

Meanwhile at Old Harmony

Ethan: (Standing under a big tree on the Crane Estate) I hope this is where she wanted to meet me at.

Gwen: Ethan� there you are.

Ethan: Go away Gwen.

Gwen: No! Ethan� I�m not going to let Theresa hurt you again!

Ethan: Again? But what did she do?

Gwen: A lot of things, Ethan. Unforgivable things, Ethan.

Ethan: I have no clue what you are talking about.

Gwen: That�s because you can�t remember anything that happened before the fire.

Ethan: Why should I believe anything you say? You lied to me when I asked you who Theresa is.
Gwen: Listen to me. Ethan. I did nothing to hurt you. And yes. I did lie to you. But only to protect you from Theresa.

(Her cell phone rings)

Gwen: Ethan. Stay here. (She answers the phone)

Gwen: Hello?

Theresa: I Gwenyth� how are you doing?

Gwen: Theresa?

Theresa: I just thought I would call you and tell you that I�m standing right behind you.

Gwen: Huh? (Gwen turns around) No you�re not.

Theresa: Uh� yeah I am.

Gwen: No your not.

Theresa: Oh� well. If I�m not standing behind you then I guess I�m above you.

(Theresa comes ramping the motorcycle off of a dirt cliff over Gwen�s head)

Theresa: Ethan! Jump on! Hurry!

(Ethan gets on the motorcycle with Theresa)

Gwen: No!!!
