Ross, Tess, Benjy and Lisa are seated.
TESS (whispering to Ross): This couldn’t be working out more perfectly. Ben and Meg were in that terrible accident. It’s too bad that they had to die for Benjy if they did die.
ROSS (whispering): Maria probably feels like such a fool now, and she is probably worried sick.
BENJY: Did you say that Mommy is sick, Ross?
TESS: No, honey. Your mommy is not sick. When we get to Australia we are going to have to talk about your mommy?
BENJY: Why?
TESS: There is just something that you need to know?
BENJY: Ok.
LISA: Daddy, when are we going to get there?

SCENE 6- SOUTH BAY GENERAL HOSPITAL
OLIVIA: Stacey, did I overhear that Ben Evans and Meg Cummings were just brought in?
STACEY: Can’t you mind your own business, lady? Yes, they were just brought in, but that is all I know.
OLIVIA (angrily): I think you need to mind your own business. They are friends and was just concerned.
STACEY: Oh please, all you high and mighty people care about is yourselves.
OLIVIA: You don’t know me, Stacey, so I suggest that you don’t make judgments. If I just made snap judgments like you, I would say that you are nothing but an overweight, petty underpaid nurse who has nothing better to do than bother everyone else.
Stacey sighs angrily and walks away.
Olivia walks back over to Emily and sits down. Just then Brad walks into the hospital looking distraught; Emily sees him and gets up.
EMILY: Brad, are you okay? Is it Sean? Did something happen?
BRAD: No, it’s not Sean. It’s Amy.
OLIVIA: God, what now?
EMILY: I don’t want to hear it, Brad.
BRAD: She’s dead, Emily.
OLIVIA AND EMILY: What?
BRAD: That’s what I said, she’s dead. She drowned in the pool at my house.
EMILY: How did this happen?
BRAD: She was upset about Sean I guess. She fell in and hit her head. I tried, but there was nothing that I could do to save her.
EMILY: I’m sorry, Brad.
Emily hugs Brad and he begins to get teary-eyed.

IRIS: I’m sorry for coming by so early, but this couldn’t wait. ANNIE: Go on. IRIS: I’m not here in Sunset Beach to patch things up with my darling daughter Olivia. I’m here to destroy her. ANNIE: Really? IRIS: You see, my late husband adored her more than anything else. I killed him and faked my own death because of all the things that he did to me. ANNIE: I see. IRIS: There’s more. Gregory Richards found out that I was alive many years ago and came to see. He told me that he would never tell Olivia the truth, but one day I would have to do him a favor. So, I accepted his deal.
ANNIE: Gregory knew?! IRIS: Yes, so he called me and told me that he wanted to bring down Olivia and needed my help. Though it meant Olivia finding out that I’m alive, but it will be worth it once our plan follows through. ANNIE: I don’t want to be involved in anything that Gregory is. He tried to kill me!
IRIS: I promise you, Annie. Gregory is in for the shock of a lifetime. He will get what’s coming to him. I guarantee it.

COLE: So everything’s gone?
BETTE: Everything. Did you hear about Sweet Cheeks? What a horrible way to go.

SARA: Casey, could you please excuse my parents and me?
CASEY: Sara-
SARA: Please.
CASEY: Ok, I’ll go and see how Maria and Carmen are doing.
Casey exits.
SARA: I want to hear this story that you have to tell me.
JOAN: Well, after Meg was born, my sister Janine got pregnant. She wasn’t married and wanted to give the baby up for adoption because she didn’t think that she could take care of the baby. She died when she gave birth to the child, and that child was you, Sara. So technically, you’re our niece.
SARA: And you never once mentioned this sister of yours, Mom.
JOAN: No, because I didn’t think that I would have to. Your father and I agreed that we would never tell you because we didn’t want you to feel different from Meg and all your other brothers and sisters.
SARA: Well, I always did feel different and now I know why!
HANK: Sara, we have always loved you. Can’t you see that?
SARA (sobbing): Right now, all I can see is that you lied. You lied to me every day my whole life and I don’t know if I can get over that. I have to be alone.
Sara runs out and Joan and Hank are in tears.
JOAN: We lost her, Hank.
HANK: No, Joany. We didn’t. She’ll be okay.
