Victor ordered Cameron to retract his job offer to Nick, and warned him not to meddle with his family. Nick thanked Nikki for supporting Sharon, worried about the body in the sewer, and realized that Grace and Cameron must be working together to drive Sharon crazy. Michael questioned Grace about her relationship with Cameron, the amount of time she's been in Genoa City, and whether or not Cameron has ever been violent in bed. He said he thinks she's gotten in over her head and told her to call him if she ever needed help. Paul convinced Bobby that someone from his organization hurt Brittany. Raul was rejected by Brittany, who admitted to having feelings for Bobby. Bobby then showed up and demanded that Raul get Brittany out of town, somewhere safe, immediately. He feared something was happening. Kevin impressed Lauren with his dedication to the mental patients, and phoned Weber to gloat about his feigned insanity and soon-to-be discovered freedom. Weber shattered his dreams and revealed that the evidence is no good and he's still under arrest. Kevin realized he'd blown his cover for nothing.
Sharon: Hey, morning. Nick: Sharon. Sharon: Miguel told me you were down here doing laps. Nick: I'm just trying to clear my head. Sharon: Well, I brought you some coffee. Nick: Thanks. Sharon: It kind of worried me when I woke up, and I couldn't find you anywhere. Did you sleep last night? Nick: I, uh, grabbed a couple hours on the couch. Sharon: Well, Nick, that's not good. Nick: Did you think I was gonna be able to sleep after what you told me? Sharon: Actually, I couldn't sleep either. I think I finally drifted off around 6. It was already light outside. Nick: I gotta tell you, Sharon, that was the strangest story I've ever heard in my life. Sharon: Yeah. You know, sometimes I can't believe that it really even happened to me. It feels like its somebody else's life. Nick: It happened because you let it happen. You made it happen. Sharon: Well, I guess that tells me how you feel about me now. Nick: Don't jump to conclusions. I'm still here. I want to talk about Cameron. We'll deal with us later. Fair enough? Sharon: Fair enough. Nick: You know, it kept me up half the night, but the more I think about it, the more I'm convinced. Cameron's obsessed with you. [SCENE_BREAK] [Grace remembering] Nick: I'm gonna give you a piece of advice, all right? Be careful. Don't get too hung up on this guy. Grace: Haven't you lienened to a word I've said? I love cameron. He loves me. We're solid. Nick: Well, maybe that is your problem, you trust him too much. Because as far as I can see, cameron kirsten is only loyal to one person, and that is himself. [SCENE_BREAK] Michael: Murder and mayhem. Grace: What? Michael: (Chuckles) I already read the paper this morning. I thought I'd save you a little time. Just being helpful. Grace: Like you were being helpful last night? Michael: Oh, was I? Grace: Not really. Michael: I was wondering if your boyfriend got a little rattled, you know, suddenly meeting one of your old flames? Grace: It takes a lot more than that to shake up Cameron. Michael: I'll just bet. (Laughs) Grace: What does that mean? Michael: He's kind of a slick character, huh? Grace: If you say so. Michael: Actually, he reminds me a little of myself. Must have been an aberration-- Sharon's husband-- not really your type. Grace: I could say the same thing about you and Sharon. Pretty strange bedfellows, wouldn't you agree? [SCENE_BREAK] (Knock on door) Cameron: Coming. Cameron: Victor, good morning. Victor: Good morning, Cameron, may I come in? Cameron: Listen, I was just heading downstairs to grab a cup of coffee. You, uh, care to join me? Victor: This isn't a social call, Cameron. When you hear what I have to say, you will understand our need for privacy. [SCENE_BREAK] Bobby: Is this, uh, Paul Williams' office? Lynne: Excuse me? Bobby: Yeah, "suite 1002. Paul Williams Investigations." Lynne: Right, yes. Uh, why don't you have a seat? And I'll let Mr. Williams know you're here, Mister... Paul: This Burton file is closed, so you can go ahead and... well, Marsino, I wasn't expecting to see you. Lynne: I was just on my way in to tell you he's here. Bobby: You got a minute? Paul: Yeah, come on in. Paul: So what brings you by? Bobby: I'm curious. Paul: Well, you know what? A lot of people come here in a curious state of mind. Would you mind being more specific? Bobby: Yeah, I want to ask you about that investigation. You find anything new? Paul: And what investigation are we talking about? [SCENE_BREAK] (Playing discordant notes) Kevin: (Whistling) Man: See something out that window that's making you so happy? Kevin: Yeah, man-- the blue sky, the clouds, freedom. Man: I don't like clouds. Kevin: Why's that? Man: Got faces in 'em. They scare me. Kevin: You don't need to be scared, buddy. See, the clouds are cool. Man: Yeah, cool. Lauren: Hey, Mr. Fisher, you ready for a visitor? Kevin: Lauren, hi. Lauren: Hi. I heard the good news that there's new evidence that you had nothing to do with what happened to Brittany Hodges. Kevin: Yeah, it's like the weight of the world has been lifted. Lauren: I'm so happy for you. Kevin: Thanks. So tell me, pretty lady, how did you get in here? This place is about as tough to crack as the CIA headquarters. [SCENE_BREAK] Brittany: What you doing? Raul: This is incredible. Hey, you decided to do some serious sleeping this morning. Brittany: Yeah, I didn't feel like getting up. Raul: There's coffee. Hey, listen, babe, I've been on the internet. You know how you told me that the doctor said you should wait awhile, let your scar stabilize before you do anything? Brittany: Yeah. Raul: Well, some time has passed. Let's do it. Brittany: What, you're a cosmetic surgeon all of a sudden? Raul: No, but I've started looking at all the different ways there are to get rid of that scar. Brittany: Raul, this is not a scar you can get rid of. You can try to cover it up. You can comb your hair over it... Raul: Wrong, wrong, wrong. You wouldn't believe some of the things that these people can do. Brittany: Yeah, you're right. I wouldn't. Raul: Why not? What's the deal? Don't you want that thing to be gone? Have you decided you like it all of a sudden? [SCENE_BREAK] Sharon: So you think Cameron Kirsten is obsessed with me? Nick: That much is obvious. Sharon: Maybe you're right. All I know is, I don't want to think about Cameron anymore. I just want him out of my life. Nick: Well, I guess I should thank you. Sharon says you've been a Godsend. Nikki: You've told him everything? Oh, I'm so glad you know. That man is evil. He has got to be dealt with. Sharon: Yeah, but how? What do we do? Nick: Well, I'm tempted to go to him, tell him I know all about this sick little game he's playing. And then warn him he'd better get out of town while he still has a chance. Sharon: Do you think he'd leave? That's all I want. Nikki: It'd be a great solution, if only he would do it. Sharon: I wonder if he would listen. Nick: I wonder about that body you saw. I mean, who is the dead man in the sewer? Nikki: How could we possibly know? I'm sure Sharon told you the condition... Nick: Yeah, it was pretty much decomposed. Sharon: Do we have to talk about this? Nick: Yes, Sharon, we do. We have to get a handle on what's going on. So you went to his room. Then you hit him over the head with the champagne bottle, and you were convinced he was dead? Sharon: I wrapped him in a sheet, and I dragged him out behind the dumpster. Yeah, he was dead. Nick: No, Sharon, he wasn't dead. He's alive. You just thought he was dead. Sharon: Well, I would have bet a million bucks. Nick: So you hid the body behind the dumpster, and then you went back and got it. And then it somehow disappeared out of your car, but weeks later, Larry Warton told you that he took it out of the car and put it in the sewer. Am I right so far? Sharon: Yes. Nick: And that's when you two took your little trip to the sewer. Sharon: Right. Because of the hallucinations, I had to be sure that Cameron was really dead. I had to be sure that it was his body. Nick: But it wasn't, Sharon. It couldn't have been. Nikki: So he woke up and put another body behind the dumpster. That's what must have happened. Nick: But who could it be? Sharon: He must have gotten his hands on a corpse somehow. Nick: Either that, or... Sharon: Or what? You think he killed someone? Nick: After what you've told me, would you put it past him? Sharon: No. That makes my blood run cold. Nick: Mine, too. [SCENE_BREAK] Cameron: All right, Victor, what's on your mind? Victor: I understand you have made my son a job offer. Cameron: Yeah, yeah, that's right. Victor: As chief operating officer of Kirsten Incorporated. Cameron: Right again. Victor: He's not gonna work for you. Cameron: Really? And why's that? Victor: Because you're gonna go to him and retract your offer. [SCENE_BREAK] Michael: Bedfellows? Sharon and me? Grace: Aren't the two of you thick as thieves these days? Michael: I don't think I'd go that far. Grace: How far would you go, Michael? Michael: What are you really curious about, Grace? Grace: I have a hard time imagining you and miss goody two-shoes... Michael: Being good friends? Grace: Is that all you are? Michael: (Chuckles) oh, Gracie, Gracie, that's my gal. Always looking for an angle. Grace: Is that what I'm doing? Michael: Well, if you must know, Sharon and I became friends when she came to me asking about legal advice. Grace: When was this? Michael: Mnh, mnh, mnh. Grace: Can't answer me, huh? Or won't. Michael: What about you and Cameron? How long have you been here together? Grace: We started dating almost a year ago. Michael: No, that wasn't my question. How long have you and Cameron Kirsten been here together in Genoa City? Since, uh... New Year's Eve, perhaps? [SCENE_BREAK] Man: Won again, ha! Come on, Mabel. Man #2: Yeah, ha ha ha! (Applause) Lauren: Anyway, I can be a very resourceful woman when the mood strikes. Kevin: Well, I'm glad, because aside from my brother, you're the only friendly face I've seen from the outside. Lauren: Are they treating you well? Kevin: As long as I act, uh, you know... Lauren: Mm-hmm. Well, it's not exactly what I expected. Kevin: Oh, it's not a snake pit, if that's what you mean, and everyone in here is actually pretty ordinary, except for the fact that they're all extremely, extremely disturbed. Man: Hey, Kevin. Kevin: Hey, Roger. You had it the wrong way, buddy. Roger: Thanks. Kevin: Okay. They don't allow us to have matches, so he just pretends. Lauren: All smokers should be so lucky. Kevin: Come on, I'll show you around. [SCENE_BREAK] Brittany: No, Raul, I don't like my scar. Of course I want it to go away, but that isn't how it works. People spend fortunes on cures for things there aren't cures for they get their hopes up, and then their hopes get smashed to pieces. I don't want to put myself through that. Raul: Boy, you have got the negative side of the picture in focus here. Brittany: It is negative. There are no miracles, Raul. Raul: Oh, yeah? Tell that to the guy with the heart transplant, Brittany. Brittany: Okay, yes, there are some things that are... Raul: That are--say it-- they're miracles. Brittany: I guess. Raul: You guess? Cornea transplants, cochlear implants for deaf people, liver and lung transplants for tiny, little babies, Brittany. Come on, what is it gonna take to impress you? Brittany: Face transplants. Raul: Right, like that's what you want, to wake up looking like somebody else. Brittany: I already do every morning, Raul. Raul: Brittany, you're not listening to me. You think I would get all excited about this if all I found on the internet was a bunch of hype? I'm telling you, honey, there are creams out there that soften the scar, make it all the same color, so it doesn't show up as much. I've seen hundreds of pictures. Brittany: Pictures don't mean anything these days. Raul: There are procedures where they remove the scar surgically, and they put this matrix on it, which allows you to grow new, smooth skin. Brittany: A matrix? That is science fiction, Raul. That's a movie. That is not an answer to this. [SCENE_BREAK] Bobby: I'm talking about Brittany's close encounter with death in my club. What the hell do you think I'm talking about? Paul: Well, you know what? From what I understand, the police have all the evidence they need. They even have a suspect in custody. So what is left to investigate? Bobby: And you're okay with that? Paul: How can I not be? Bobby: What did the cops say? Paul: Oh, come on, Bobby. Are you telling me you don't know about the new evidence, the evidence that proves that Kevin Fisher is not the responsible party? Bobby: Come on, you're pulling my leg. Paul: No, I'm not pulling your leg. It was hot stuff. It looked really good. Bobby: What do you mean "looked" really good? Paul: Do you remember that underage girl that Kevin Fisher was involved with? The girl's father hired his own investigator to tail Kevin. And that P.I. -- This is where it gets good, trust me-- that P.I. followed him to his apartment, where he stayed all day and into the evening. You know what the amazing thing is? It was the same day that Brittany Hodges was injured at your club. Bobby: Well, that sounds open and shut. What happened? Paul: Somebody went to the P.I. and leaned on him. So suddenly, this reputable professional will not testify that his activity log for Kevin Fisher is accurate. Now that had to be a very bitter pill for him to swallow, don't you think? They really must have twisted his arm. Bobby: "They"? Who's "they"? Paul: They. Come on, Bobby, these are people you know. Bobby: Are you sure his facts were straight before he changed his mind? Paul: I'm certain of it. Eddie Praether went to Neil Winters and assured him the log was accurate. Everything was fine, and then all of a sudden, boom, he changed his mind. It smells to high heaven. Bobby: Maybe he took a closer look. Paul: Oh, you think? Come on, Marsino. It's just you and me here. There are no cops around. You don't have to protect your little friends with me. Bobby: I just can't believe that somebody in my organization would hurt Brittany. Paul: Well, believe it, because someone in your little group of thugs, crooks and drug dealers is responsible. Bobby: Well, if somebody in my organization burned Brittany's face half off, they don't deserve to be walking around, breathing clean air or enjoying their meals. They ought to have their face ripped clean off. So he's like , what are you doing? [SCENE_BREAK] Cameron: You want me to retract the offer I made to Nick? Victor: I don't like what you're trying to do, Cameron. Cameron: Oh, now wait a minute. Victor: No, you wait a minute. I don't appreciate you attempting to lure away one of my key employees. Cameron: Correct me if I'm wrong, Victor, but you fired him. Victor: My son was not fired. He was reassigned. He has new responsibilities. Cameron: He was reassigned? That's a good one. All right, let's just cut to it, huh? As I understand it, Nick wants no part of these new responsibilities. And you know what? I can't say I blame him. He is a vibrant, young, dynamic executive, who you clearly don't trust to run your company. Now maybe someday you will, but right now, I'm looking to step back, ease out of the day-to-day. I've got no successor, no heir apparent, but I do have a tremendous amount of respect for your son. So why would you want to deny him that kind of experience? Victor: I heard what you had to say, Cameron. Now it's time for you to listen to me. [SCENE_BREAK] Grace: New Year's Eve? Where would you get that? Michael: Were you two here together? Grace: You know we weren't, Michael. Michael: Do I? Grace: Cameron was here working on a deal with Nick. I was in New York. Michael: There are ways of checking that out, you know? Grace: Check it out all you like. I didn't fly here until Cameron had been missing for quite some time. Michael: Yeah, you know, and I find that very odd. The love of your life, and you two weren't in constant contact? Grace: Of course we were. We talked on the phone almost every night right up until the time he disappeared. Michael: But it took you weeks to find out why, all of a sudden, those calls stopped coming? Grace: No. I waited weeks before I took a leave from my job to come here and try to find answers. Michael: It's a fairly good comeback. Grace: That wasn't... look, why are you interrogating me about Cameron? Michael: Don't you think it's natural for me to be curious? Grace: Why, because you and i were an item once? Or because you're checking things out fo-- Michael: (Chuckles) speaking of Sharon... Grace: Were we? Michael: Oh, Grace, come on, it's me. I could always read you like a book. Grace: Oh, really? Michael: Grace, I like you. I still consider us friends. And as a friend, I can't help wondering... Grace: What? Michael: Are you really that clueless when it comes to Cameron and Sharon Newman? [SCENE_BREAK] Sharon: What is Cameron after? I mean, why is he doing this? Nikki: Seems to me, he was manipulating you the whole time. Sharon: So you think he was trying to drive me crazy, but why? Nikki: Revenge? Sharon: Revenge for what?! Nick: You didn't give him what he wanted in that motel room. Sharon: So you believe me? Nick: I believe that you went there against your will. Sharon: Nick, it's true. That is the last place I wanted to be that night. Nick: Why do you think he came to Genoa City in the first place? I mean, is it all because of you? Nikki: This business deal you had going with him, that was legitimate, right? Nick: Oh, yeah. But when he disappeared, he left me high and dry. Sharon: That whole urgent report he had you working on, it was just to keep you busy. It was a ruse. Nick: Yeah, he wants me to come work for his company, but he's barely mentioned the deal with Newman Enterprises. Sharon: I guess because he knows you don't work there anymore. Nick: I still don't think Cameron is interested in me. He's obsessed with you. Nikki: It's clear that he's a man that hates it when he doesn't get what he wants. Sharon: Well, if you had seen the way he came after me that night... I did what I had to do to protect myself. I did not mean to kill him. That was self- defense. Nikki: You know, Nicholas, I don't think that you should go to him. I mean, if he killed a man-- Sharon: There's no telling what he might do, Nick. This man is very dangerous. Nikki: Sharon's right. He's not gonna listen to reason. Sharon: Part of me is grateful that he's not dead because it means that I didn't kill anyone, but I just... I wish he were out of the picture. And those horrible hallucinations I was having, gosh, I felt like I was going out of my mind. Nick: Because that's what he wanted you to believe. Those weren't hallucinations, Sharon. He was just working you. Sharon: Maybe you're right. But I still can't understand why. Why would I be important enough to him that he would go to that much trouble? Nick: Unless it wasn't totally his idea. [SCENE_BREAK] Raul: Brittany, why are you fighting me on this? What have you got to lose by just talking about ways to make the scar less visible, maybe even go away altogether? Brittany: Raul, I already told you. I don't wanna get my hopes up. I'm just starting to learn how to live with this. You know, I actually went to the coffeehouse the other day? I didn't stay long, but I went in the door. I walked down the street without wearing a hat or anything, and you know what? Little children didn't scream. Women didn't faint. The world didn't come to an end. Raul: So you're saying that it's just too late to even be thinking about a cure? That you're on the road to learning how to live with your scar, so let's just leave it at that? Brittany: Raul, I love you for doing all that research. And you're such a sweet and wonderful man, but I really think that if there were an answer out there, I'd already know about it. I mean, if someone comes up with a cure for cancer, do you really think you're gonna have to go on the internet to find out about it? It'll be the headline of every paper. [SCENE_BREAK] Bobby: When I find out who did this to Brittany... Paul: Look, Bobby, I know you don't wanna hear this, but this is something you shouldn't handle yourself. If you know who it is, you should go to the authorities. Bobby: Go to the authorities? The same people that are so good, they got the wrong guy in custody right now?! Paul: Okay, then hold their hand. Help them find the right guy. Bobby: Let me tell you something, Williams. Where I come from, the police are the enemy. We deal with our own. We do our own dirty work. Paul: Yeah, I know, the law of the jungle. Bobby: Right, animals. And I got one sick animal right now that disfigured a beautiful girl, and I am not gonna sleep until he pays for it! Thanks for the information, and by the way, we didn't have this conversation. [SCENE_BREAK] (Piano notes being played) Kevin: See that guy over there in the blue shirt? Lauren: Oh, yeah. Kevin: He used to be the Wisconsin State chess champion. Lauren: Really, what happened? Kevin: His wife ran off with the pool guy, took the kids, and he completely unraveled. He stopped talking, and he hasn't said a word in five years. Lauren: Wow. Kevin: And Ray there, the guy with the baseball cap on. Lauren: Yeah. Kevin: He can tell you the batting average of every Yankee player since Babe Ruth. Lauren: What's he doing in this place? Kevin: Half the time, he can't remember his own name or how to tie his shoelaces. I guess his brain is just filled up with all that trivia, isn't that right, buddy? Good man. Have a seat. Lauren: Thank you. You just seem so relaxed. Kevin: Yeah, well, I'm not scared all the time. Nobody in here is gonna beat me up. In fact, a lot of these people look up to me. Stumpy: Hey, Kev. Kevin: Hey there, Stumpy. Stumpy is my main man, aren't you, buddy? Stumpy: Yeah. Kevin: Stumpy, I'd like you to meet a very, very special lady. This is Lauren. Lauren: Pleased to meet you, Stumpy. Stumpy: (Laughs) is she your girlfriend, Kevin? Kevin: Well, she would be if I had anything to say about it. Stumpy: Okay, bye-bye. Kevin: Bye, Stumpy. Lauren: You really get along with these people. Kevin: Yeah. Yeah, well, it's nice being the sharpest tool in the shed for a change. Lauren: You should think about a career in counseling. Kevin: I don't know about that, but, uh, but I'll tell you one thing. Lauren: What? Kevin: As soon as I get outta here, I'm gonna make something of myself. I'm tired of being such a screw-up. Lauren: I'm really glad to hear you talking like that. Not long ago, you didn't even want to go on living. Kevin: Yeah. Yeah, well, I feel like I've been given a second chance. And there's no way I'm gonna mess that up. I'm gonna make you proud of me, Lauren. You'll see. Lauren: You know what? I believe you. Kevin: Hey, you have your cell phone on you? Lauren: Sure, why? Kevin: There's a call I wanna make. Not everyone's been on my side the way you have. [SCENE_BREAK] Raul: You're a hard person to help, you know that? Brittany: I don't mean to be. But, raul, you-- Raul: You're scared. Brittany: I guess. Raul: You know there are things you could try? Brittany: Yeah, I know about them. I mean, I don't know the specifics, but-- Raul: But it's better to think, "yeah, maybe I'll try them one day," than actually try them and have them not work? Brittany: Because then I'll know this is permanent. Raul: Okay, I hear you, but I think you're wrong. Some of these procedures I was reading about are worth trying. Brittany: There's another thing, too. Bobby is turning the club into Marilyn's cabaret. I'm gonna be headlining. Me, just like this, scar and all. Bobby's convinced that it isn't going to matter. Raul: Wow, wow. Okay, then I... honey, to me, you're the most beautiful woman in the world. My only problem was that you were unhappy, but if you're okay, I'm okay. Brittany: No, I'm not okay. I just don't want to do anything right now. I went through so much, Raul. I cried my eyes out every day for weeks. And I've finally gotten to where I can get through the day without falling apart, without having this huge knot in my stomach from morning to night. Raul: So you just wanna cruise for awhile? Brittany: Could I, please? Raul: Sure. Yeah, but I'm not gonna stop working on this. I'm gonna ask questions and do a lot of research. Wait, not that I don't love you the way you are. You know I do. In fact, I've been working on a cure of my own here, and it's called the cure of love. See, I'll explain to you how it works. With every little kiss, one cell regenerates-- Brittany: Raul, stop. Raul: Brittany, are we still a couple? Brittany: We are what we are. Raul: But we're not what we used to be. Brittany: Raul... Raul: Tell me. Bobby and you are-- is there something going on? Brittany: No. Raul: I'm not-- I don't mean sleeping together. I mean in your heart. Brittany: I don't know. Raul: I don't suppose it would help... if I said that you're making a big mistake, that no one will ever love you the way I do? Brittany: I'm sure that's true. Brittany: I need to go get dressed. Raul: Brittany. (Knock on door) (banging on door) Raul: Hang on! Bobby: Come on, come on Raul: I'm coming. Bobby: Is Brittany here?! Raul: Wait a minute. Now you can't just keep coming in here-- Bobby: Shut up and listen. I need you to get her outta town now. Raul: What?! Bobby: I don't have time to explain, but somethin' bad's goin' down, and I need you to get her outta here. Are you listenin' to me? I need you to get her outta town right now! [SCENE_BREAK] Victor: You apparently didn't understand when I told you you're not gonna hire my son. Cameron: Oh, I understood you. But I think that's Nick's decision. Victor: Well, you think what you want, Cameron. I'm giving you the reality. Cameron: (Scoffs) why are you so opposed to Nick making a name for himself? Victor: Because it's not gonna happen with the likes of you. Cameron: The likes of me? So this is personal. You know, I wasn't aware that you and I had a problem. Victor: You don't seem to be aware of a number of things, Cameron. Or is that just a game you're playing? Cameron: A game? Victor: Right. What are you after? Cameron: Prime corporate talent, just like every other businessman. Victor: Uh-huh, really? Cameron: You know, it sounds, Victor, like you don't trust me. Victor: I don't trust you any more than anyone else in my family seems to. Cameron: Really? Well, that's news to me. Victor: I doubt that seriously, Cameron. Cameron: Listen, I'm sorry if I've caused you any trouble by trying to hire your son, poaching on your turf. Victor: My son and I will be working side by side on a number of projects benefiting the community. He'll be far too busy to work for a company like yours, all right? Cameron: Oh, I see. Victor: Now you go talk to him. Cameron: Victor... Cameron: I will talk to your son. But not to retract my offer, because I honestly hope that he accepts it and becomes my right hand at Kirsten Incorporated. Victor: You're making a serious mistake, Cameron. Cameron: I will do this for you, though. I won't mention that you and I had this conversation, how you tried to meddle in his life. Because knowing him the way I do, I think it'd just make things worse between the two of you. Have a good day. Victor: You meddle in my family, you're making a serious mistake, one I'll make sure you regret. [SCENE_BREAK] Sharon: I don't know anyone else who would be diabolical enough-- Nick: We're talking about a personal vendetta here. Nikki: Grace Turner came to town supposedly looking for her boyfriend. Sharon: And by that time, it seemed like he had disappeared. Nikki: But we don't know now if he ever left town. In fact, we don't know if she hasn't been here this whole time, ever since Cameron first came to town. Sharon: You know, I remember this one time Grace came over to our house to harass me. And while we were arguing, I saw Cameron's face through the window, and I was completely freaking out, but she looked through the same window and didn't see a thing, or so she said. Nikki: Well, we know they're involved. And we know she can't be trusted. Sharon: Well, it was Grace who went to the police and started yelling foul play. And it was Grace who went to you, Nick, about the police sketch, saying that it was me and insisting that I was a murderer. Nikki: It makes perfect sense. Sharon: Two of the most contemptible people I've ever known, and we all know how much Grace hates me. Nick: So that's it. That's the answer. Whatever the plan is, whatever this man is up to, we know Grace and Cameron are in it together. [SCENE_BREAK] Grace: Sharon and Cameron? Just what are you insinuating? Michael: Are you honestly unaware that he's expressed more than a passing interest in the woman? Grace: (Scoffs) that's ridiculous. They barely know each other. Michael: I know you keep saying that, but do you believe it, or are you trying to hide something? Grace: Like what? Michael: Talk to me about your sex life. Grace: Excuse me? Michael: I personally have very fond memories. You were quite the gymnast. Grace: Gee, thanks. Michael: So you and the camster... Grace: Michael! Michael: Everything good? Grace: Michael! Michael: I know it's probably none of my business. Grace: Gee, you think? Michael: Has he ever been rough with you? Grace: What kind of question is that? Michael: It's an honest one. You know, the ol' slap and tickle, is it more slap than tickle? Grace: I'm sorry. This is just getting a little too weird. Michael: Wait, no, Grace, please, don't go. Grace: Why should I stay here and let you grill me about whether Cameron and I get kinky? Michael: Because I care about what happens to you. Um... I have to wonder how well you know this guy. And I think it's highly likely that you might be in over your head. Michael: So promise me you'll call me if you need anything, all right? [SCENE_BREAK] (Telephone rings) (ring) Hank: Weber. Kevin: Good morning. Hank: Who's this? Kev: What don't you recognize my voice, all the way from the nuthouse? After all we've been through, detective, I'm hurt. Hank: What do you want, Fisher? I'm busy. Kevin: Don't you want to apologize? Hank: For what? Kevin: For accusing me of trying to fry Brittany Hodges. I'm sure you know about all that new evidence that clears me. Hank: Look, if you have something important to say, Fisher, spit it out. Kevin: It's quite an act I put on, huh? I know I had you going. You probably thought I was a real wacko. Hank: You were faking? Kevin: Well, it's all I could do to keep myself out of that hellhole you call a jail. Pretty clever, huh? Hank: No, my friend, not clever enough. Kevin: Yeah, what's that supposed to mean? Hank: That new evidence you're so smug about, it didn't check out. You're still under arrest, Kevin. Kevin: No! No! Stumpy: What's wrong, Kev? Hey, Kev, what's wrong? All: (Yelling) [NEXT_ON] Nick: I'm not gonna let anyone try and destroy my wife or my family. Bobby: I'm talkin' about you. I wanna protect you! I wanna hurt the guy that hurt you. Nikki: You're in deep trouble.
