Tea is with RJ but admits she still has Todd on the brain. Dorian is with Ray. Langston and Markko are alone in the house and ready to make love. Jessica and Brody make love and declare that they are ready to move forward. Gigi is still terribly afraid to break the promise she believes she made with God in order to save Shane. So she tells Rex and her son that she and Rex are officially over. Shane is devastated and so are both Gigi and Rex. Starr tells Cole she will help see him through his road to recovery.
Starr: You've been getting high ever since the accident? This whole time? Even though if you get caught once, you will go to prison? Even after you ruined Matthew's life -- probably forever -- you still didn't stop using? What the hell is wrong with you? Cole: I want to stop. Every time I get high, I want to stop. Starr: Then why didn't you? Cole: Because I can't -- I can't, Starr! I can't stop! [Cole sighs] Cole: I thought I could, you know? I just -- I can't. I can't. I -- I don't know what to do. I mean, you think -- you think I want to take these? You think I want to take these and fail my drug test and go to prison? No, I don't want -- I don't want that. I don't want any of that. But you know, the truth is I don't care. I don't care anymore. That's how bad I need to take one of these right now. [SCENE_BREAK] Gigi: Why do we have to do this now? Rex: Well, there really is no right time to tell your kid you're breaking up. Gigi: But you just said he's doing better, and I just ordered a pizza. He's happy. Rex: He deserves to know the truth. I'm done lying to my son. Gigi: Maybe this isn't the right thing to do. [SCENE_BREAK] [Knock on door] Téa: What are you doing here? Todd: Your cell phone's broken, I think. Téa: No, it's not. Todd: Oh, well. Guess it's a good thing I checked. Téa: What the hell do you want, Todd, huh? [Todd chuckles] Todd: Why don't you let me in and you'll -- you'll find out? [SCENE_BREAK] Langston: You know, I probably shouldn't be saying this about my own uncle but, um, you look kind of hot. Ray: I can only hope my date agrees with you. Langston: So who's the lucky girl? Dorian: I am. [Dorian giggles] Langston: Oh, okay! [Langston laughs] Ray: Ay, mujer! Langston: Ooh! Ray: Mira la dama elegante. Dorian: Muchas gracias, senor. Langston: Yeah, he's right. You look fabulous. Dorian: Thank you. Langston: Yeah, you know who else would think so? Your husband. [SCENE_BREAK] Téa: No, you cannot come in. Todd: Oh, why not? You seem pretty excited answering the door. Téa: Huh. Well, if I'd known it was you, I would've gone out the window. [Todd chuckles] Todd: Well, it wouldn't have been the first time for that. [Téa chuckles] Todd: Of course, that was when you were my lawyer. Téa: Oh. Well, lucky for me I am no longer on retainer. Todd: Oh, that's why I came by. I wanted to tell you the good news, that the judge has granted my request for an emergency custody hearing, tomorrow, and I -- I want to make sure you don't miss me getting my kids back. [SCENE_BREAK] [Jessica breathing heavily] Jessica: I -- I can't believe this after all we've been through, after all this time. Jessica: What do we do now? Brody: Stay with me tonight, Jessica. I want to make love with you. [SCENE_BREAK] Téa: I am aware of our court date tomorrow. Todd: Is that why you're trying out outfits? [Téa scoffs] Téa: You know, lucky for me, because I am no longer your lawyer, I don't have to see you until tomorrow -- thank you very much. Todd: You don't want to go over strategy for old time's sake? [Téa sighs] Todd: Order room service? Talk about how I'm going to mop the floor with you tomorrow? Téa: Oh, ho, ho -- keep dreaming, Todd. Todd: You know, the thing about you and me is -- we don't always have to talk. Téa: I have plans. Todd: Oh, no kidding? Téa: Yeah. Todd: What, are you going to party by yourself so you can run into me? [Téa chuckles] Todd: Because I saved you the trip. [R.J. chuckles] R.J.: Well. You know, someone really should speak to Renee about the people she allows in her establishment. Todd: Well, I was just about to say the same thing. Téa: Oh. [R.J. chuckles] R.J.: Yeah -- witty. Look at you. Ready? Téa: I have been ready for a long time, R.J. -- don't touch that. And you look very handsome. R.J.: Oh, thank you. Todd: Thanks. [SCENE_BREAK] Dorian: It has been such an awful day. Ray: It's about to get better. Langston: Yeah, well, okay. You two kids have fun. Dorian: Huh! Excuse me -- are you trying to get rid of us? Langston: Who, me? [Dorian chuckles] Langston: Uh -- Markko: Hey -- oh. Langston: Oh, Markko's here to study. Markko: Yeah -- finals. Langston: Yeah, they're going to be brutal. So, have fun. Dorian: Make sure you get an A. Markko: Oh, we will. Langston: Good night. [SCENE_BREAK] Gigi: This is not what I wanted. Rex: Why did you ask for it? Gigi: Rex -- it was not supposed to be this way. Rex: Okay, are you saying it was a mistake, that we shouldn't be breaking up? Priest: Hi, Gigi. How's Shane doing? Gigi: He is much better. Priest: Oh, really? That's wonderful. Rex: Yeah, it's great. Gigi: Um, thank you so much. Priest: Don't thank me. I've seen you in the chapel. God must've heard your prayers. Gigi: Yes, he did. Rex: Gigi? Can we -- Gigi: No -- you're right, Rex. We should go in there and tell Shane we're through. [SCENE_BREAK] Jessica: I haven't been with anyone since Nash, and I -- I guess I'm a little nervous. Brody: Oh. Not as much as I am. Jessica: You're nervous to be with me? [Brody sighs] Brody: When I -- when I first got back from Iraq, I'd go out every night and get wasted, get into fights. And I slept with a lot of women. Most of the time, I didn't even know their names because they didn't mean anything to me. Jessica: I don't know what you want me to say. Brody: You mean the world to me. So, hell, yes, I'm nervous. Jessica: But you -- Brody: Want you? I want you, but only if it feels right to you. [SCENE_BREAK] Starr: I know you, Cole. You care about whether you mess up your life. You care about going to prison. Cole: You don't get it. The first time I took one of those pills, it's like I got an element of my body that was missing before. They're stronger than me. Starr: No, they're not stronger than you. If they were, you would've taken one of them by now. Cole: It's kill -- it's killing me not to take one right now. Starr: But, your last drug test was clean. Cole: That is because I conned my best friend. Starr: What -- what do you mean? Cole: I lied to Markko so that he would take my drug test for me. Starr: You what? Cole: Yeah. See? That's -- that's what these pills do, Starr. It doesn't matter -- it doesn't matter who I hurt. I let Matthew get in that car with me, now he's never going to walk again. He's never going to walk again because of me! [Starr sobs] Cole: Because of me, and what do I do? What do I do? Yeah -- take another pill. Starr: Cole, you were -- you were hurting. Cole: Yeah. Every time I put one of those pills in my mouth, I was spitting on Matthew. I was spitting on Matthew, I was spitting on -- on Markko and Nora and you. [Cole sighs] Cole: Yeah, you -- you were right to run out on me. All I do is hurt people. Starr: Cole? Cole: You should go. You should go to Mr. J. If that's what you really want, if that's what you want really want, I get it. Starr: No -- Cole: I get it. Starr? Look at me. I'm not worth it. Starr: No. I'm not leaving you. [SCENE_BREAK] Téa: Charlie, do you know R.J. Gannon? Charlie: Yeah -- no, I don't think we've had the pleasure. R.J.: How are you? Téa: Viki. Viki: Hi! Téa: Hi. I took your advice. Viki: Ah, so I see. [Téa chuckles] Téa: The moment R.J. asked me out tonight, I thought "what a wonderful opportunity to get my mind off" you know who. Viki: Uh, that might be easier said than done. "You know who" just walked in. Téa: Um, you know -- let's find the maitre d' and get a table far, far away. Okay? R.J.: Okay. It's good to see you again, Viki. Viki: You, too, R.J. Téa: Bye. Charlie: Now, should we be inviting your brother to join us? Viki: Are you insane? I would like to enjoy your company. Charlie: Oh. I was hoping you would say that. Viki: Here is to a night of peace and quiet. Charlie: Amen. Viki: Oh, my God. Dorian: Hello, Viki -- Charlie. [Viki sighs] [SCENE_BREAK] Shane: Dr. McBain brought me new markers -- said I could take them home with me. Gigi: Tomorrow, right, bud? Rex: Pretty awesome, huh? You're finally going to blow this pop stand. Shane: Yeah, it's awesome. So, how come you guys look like somebody died? [SCENE_BREAK] Markko: Oh, I want you so much. Langston: Oh, I want you, too. No -- but, no, we should -- we should stop. Markko: Oh, yeah. You're right. We should totally stop. Langston: Markko! No, no, we -- we can't, we can't. Markko. Markko: Whew. Okay, but -- okay. All right, yeah, yeah -- you're right. I love you so much, but I don't want you to do anything you don't want to do. Langston: Okay, well, I -- I love you, too, and it's not that I don't want to. Markko: Wait, wait, wait -- you do? Langston: Yeah. Markko: So, then, if we love each other and we both want to be together -- what exactly are we waiting for? [SCENE_BREAK] Starr: I'm not going anywhere. I'm not leaving you. Cole: Even after I told you what I did? Starr: You didn't want to do those things. Cole: But I did them anyway. Starr: Why? Cole: Because I told you -- the pills are stronger than me. Starr: So you didn't want to take the pills? Cole: But I can't stop. [Starr sighs] Cole: Doesn't matter who I hurt, I can't stop. Starr: Do you know what that means? Cole: What? Starr: You have done everything but say the words. Cole? You're a drug addict. [SCENE_BREAK] Dorian: Victoria Davidson and Charlie -- Charles Banks. I'd like you to meet Mr. Ray Montez. Viki: How do you do? Ray: Pleasure. Charlie: Nice to meet you. As for your friend here -- Dorian: Oh, oh. Ray and I are -- on a date. Viki: Are you? Dorian: Yes, I'm sure it will come as a shock to you, Viki, but David and I are now finished. It's over. Viki: Yes, he told me. I was thrilled that he came to his senses. Dorian: That's hardly the way it was. Viki: Oh, you don't say? Dorian: I do. [Dorian chuckles] Dorian: Where is the hostess? I'm sure our table must be ready. Charlie: Ray? I wouldn't turn my back on her if I was you. Ray: Excuse me? Charlie: Dorian is full of surprises. You never know when she might stab you with a hypo, slip something into your drink. Ray: I'll bear that in mind, Charlie. Dorian: Excuse us! Yeah. [Charlie sighs] Charlie: I wonder if he thinks I was joking. Ray: So what -- what was that about? Dorian: Yeah, what was that about? What what? You mean -- Ray: What -- Dorian: With Charlie? Ray: Yeah. Dorian: It -- it -- Dorian: Oh! [Dorian laughs] Dorian: R.J., R.J., R.J.! R.J.: Well, Dorian, what can I say? Well -- lovelier than ever. Dorian: Oh, say it twice, please [R.J. and Dorian chuckle] Dorian: I'd like you to meet my escort, Ray Montez. R.J.: Oh. Ray: Good to meet you, man. R.J.: You, too, but I think you already know my date -- Téa Delgado. Ray: Oh. Dorian: Oh. You and Téa are dating? R.J.: Is that a problem? Dorian: No, not at all, not at all In fact, she is going to be our lawyer and, oh, where is she now? There she is! Téa: Oh, I was just powdering my nose. Dorian: Ah, and don't you look lovely. Téa: Oh, thank you. You always look stunning. Dorian: Well, thank you. Have a lovely evening. Téa: Um -- Dorian? [Téa clears throat] Téa: I should warn you -- Todd is in the building. Dorian: Well, I guess there go my plans for a lovely evening. Ray: You're going to let him spoil it? Dorian: No. Absolutely not -- why should I? No, just as long as you make sure he doesn't win tomorrow. Téa: Oh, oh, oh. I can handle Todd. [Clanging sound] Todd: Yeah, that's what they all said. [SCENE_BREAK] Langston: We said that we would wait to have sex, remember? We didn't want to rush anything. Markko: Yeah, but that was, like, almost two years ago. We're not exactly rushing. [Langston sighs] Langston: Yeah, but then I saw Starr getting pregnant and what it did to her life and -- Markko: No, no, that wouldn't be us. We'd -- we'd be safe. Langston: You know, sometimes when I'm bored, like in study hall or something, I think about what it'd be like. Markko: You do? Me, too. Langston: Really? Markko: Yeah, like all the time. Langston: No wonder you never get your homework done. [Langston and Markko chuckle] Markko: No, but, I mean -- it's not like we said we'd wait till we were married or something. Langston: True. Markko: I mean, we never said how long we'd wait at all. Langston: Also true. Markko: So -- maybe we've waited long enough? Langston: Maybe we have. Markko: Really? Langston: Really. [SCENE_BREAK] Rex: We have to tell you something. Shane: Did Dr. McBain say I can't go home? Gigi: No, honey, it's not about that. Shane: Are you sure? Rex: Totally. Shane: Then what's wrong? Gigi: Okay, this is going to be hard for you to understand, but tomorrow, when you go home, it's just going to be you and me. Shane: Where is Dad going to be? Gigi: He's going to go back to his old place. Shane: What? Why? Are you breaking up? Gigi: Yes. We are. [SCENE_BREAK] Cole: You think I'm a drug addict? Starr: I'm not an expert or anything. Cole: Well, that's what you think. Starr: You said that the pills are stronger than you and that's what addiction is. [Cole sighs] Cole: Will you help me? Starr: Cole -- Cole: I know. [Starr sighs] Cole: I know I shouldn't be asking you for that. Starr: No, it's -- Cole: Shouldn't be asking you for anything. Starr: It's not that. I just don't know if I can. Cole: I -- I don't have anyone else. My mom, John, they're running from the cops. Starr: Are you kidding me? Cole: I talked to my mom today. And Nora thinks I'm already getting help and I -- I can't talk to Markko because -- well, not after what I did. Starr, I need you. Will you please help me? Starr: Yes. Yes, Cole, I'll help you. Cole: Thank you. Starr: The first thing I want you to do is to give me those pills. Starr: Now I need you to admit to me -- admit to me that you have a problem. Cole: I have a problem. Starr: You did it. Cole: What? Starr: You admitted that you had a problem -- that's the first step, isn't it? Cole: Ah, I guess. I have a feeling what happens next is -- it's going to be awful. Starr: Whatever it is, we'll do it together. So why don't we go talk to your drug counselor? Cole: No -- no, no. Starr: I thought you said you wanted help Cole: Yeah, but not -- not from Rachel. Rachel is my drug counselor -- Rachel Gannon, Nora's daughter. Starr: Oh, no. Cole: Well, she's been great, even after what I did to her little brother. Starr: Really? Cole: Yep. She -- she found out what happened with -- with me and Markko and she gave me a second chance. Starr: Okay, well, then why don't you want to talk with her? Cole: Because I -- I don't want to go to the treatment center. I -- I don't know anyone there, the place smells funny. Uh, it's -- it's lonely there. I don't -- I don't want to go back. Starr: Then where do you want to go? Cole: I don't care. I don't care as long as I'm with you. [SCENE_BREAK] Gigi: Shane, the important thing is -- nothing is going to change for you, okay? We'll still be your mom and dad and we'll both be there for you 24/7. Shane: But you won't be there for each other? Rex: No -- Gigi: Not anymore. Shane: I don't get it. Is -- is this because of me? Rex: No. Gigi: Not at all. Shane: But I got sick. Rex: This has nothing to do with that. Shane: Yes, it does. Before I got sick, everything was great. Gigi: Everything was great. But this isn't because of you, we promise. Rex: No way. Shane: But you said that me being sick made you guys grumpy at each other. Gigi: I swear, Shane, it's not you. Shane: Then I don't get it! Gigi: Okay. Sometimes even when people love each other, stuff happens, stuff you didn't expect. Shane: Well, what kind of stuff? Rex: Grown-up stuff. And now that that's happened, your mom and me -- we can't get along like we used to. Shane: Why don't you try? Rex: We did, but no matter how hard we try, it just doesn't work anymore. Gigi: Shane, honey, I'm so sorry. I never, ever wanted to disappoint you. Shane: But you did. You really did. [Shane sniffles] [SCENE_BREAK] Dorian: You will get those children over my dead body. Todd: Well, why didn't you say so before, Dorian? And you know who we should call is Blair's murderer husband. Oh, no, that's right -- we can't, can we? Téa: No judge is going to rule in your favor, Todd. Todd: I'm sorry -- were you talking to me? Are you on a date? Téa: You know that I am. What are you doing here -- earning a little extra money tending bar? Todd: I'm -- I'm making the perfect martini for the perfect-looking woman. Ray: So now what? You want to leave? Dorian: No. I am not going to let Todd Manning spoil my evening. Ray: Excellent. Then why don't we find our table and change the subject? Dorian: Good. Let's do that. And we will drink to Téa's success tomorrow. Téa: Thank you, Dorian. Dorian: You're welcome, Téa. Blair and I really need you. Take good care of her, R.J. Ray: Enjoy your evening. Téa: You, too. [Téa exhales] [SCENE_BREAK] Charlie: Is everything okay? Viki: Why wouldn't it be? Charlie: You just seem a little distracted. Viki: I'm actually looking at Téa. Charlie: What, you mean the fact that she's with that R.J.? Viki: Yes, because she's with R.J. And she's looking at Todd. [SCENE_BREAK] R.J.: Here we are. Téa: Oh, thank you. Huh. R.J.: Now, you told me that everything with Manning was under control. Téa: Oh, believe me, when we go to court tomorrow, he won't know what hit him. [R.J. chuckles] R.J.: But you know that is not what I meant. Téa: Ah. R.J., I am totally over Todd Manning. R.J.: No, querida. No, you're not. [SCENE_BREAK] Markko: So? Langston: So. Markko: How do you want to do this? Langston: Well, I -- I guess we should make a date for you to -- deflower me? Markko: Huh -- deflower you? Langston: Oh -- what? Markko: It doesn't sound very -- Langston: Hot? Markko: Romantic. Langston: You're right. But this is important, and if we're going to avoid any problems -- Markko: Oh. You mean like -- ahem -- what happened to Starr and Cole? Langston: Exactly, even if Dorian isn't is scary as Starr's dad. Markko: Oh, she's bad enough. [Langston sighs] Langston: So we should make a plan -- where, when? Markko: Like, this Tuesday in the back seat of my car? Langston: Are you kidding? Markko: Kind of. Okay, okay. Bad idea -- forget I said it. Well, I mean, what do you want to do? Uh -- what would make you most, uh, comfortable? Langston: I got it. [SCENE_BREAK] Jessica: This is the first time since Nash died that I've been able to lose control in a good way and -- not be afraid. Brody: You've got nothing to fear from me. Jessica: I finally feel like I'm getting back to the person I was before Nash died and everything fell apart. Brody: Well, I'm glad you found her while I was around. Jessica: You going to be around for a while? Brody: I'm not going anywhere. Brody: Jess, what's wrong? Jessica: We have a problem. Brody: We do? Jessica: We can't tell anyone about us. [SCENE_BREAK] Langston: You know, everything kind of started for us at prom two years ago. Markko: You mean when Mrs. McBain forced you to go? Langston: Well, she knew that we should be together even though I couldn't stand you. Markko: Hey, I couldn't stand you, either -- Langston: Oh. Markko: Until I realized you were my freak. Langston: And I realized you were mine. So that kind of makes prom like our anniversary. And since you already bought the tickets, maybe the first time we're together should -- Markko: Should be on prom night? Langston: Am I a total cliché? Markko: No, no, no, no -- impossible. You're a freak, remember? Langston: Oh! Markko: I think it's a great idea. Langston: You do? Markko: Yeah, except -- Langston: Except what? Markko: Except I don't know how I'm going to wait that long. Langston: Ooh, me, neither! [SCENE_BREAK] Ray: So, what -- what was the deal over there? Dorian: What deal? Ray: That guy telling me to watch my back? Dorian: Charlie? Ray: Charlie. What's -- he's supposed to be revealing some big, scary truth? Dorian: Charlie has his own version of the truth. Ray: And what's your version? Dorian: Quite simply -- Ray: "Quite simply" what? Dorian: Sometimes, I do bad things. Ray: Yeah. By reputation, uh, you do bad things better than anybody. Dorian: Is that a turnoff? Ray: On the contrary. [SCENE_BREAK] R.J.: Ah. So, now -- should I leave? Téa: What? R.J.: Well, he doesn't give a damn that I asked you out or that I'm here with you, so -- should I go? Téa: Huh -- do you think I said yes to your invitation just so I could use you to make Todd jealous? [R.J. chuckles] R.J.: Well, I would not mind if you actually used me to make Todd jealous. Téa: I'm sorry. [Téa sighs] Téa: I'm the worst date ever. R.J.: Hmm. No, I guess I've had worse. Téa: I'm sorry I ruined your evening. R.J.: Look, Téa. You know you can do infinitely better than Todd Manning. Téa: Once upon a time, I did. Téa: Ah. [SCENE_BREAK] Woman: So, do you want to get out of here. Todd: Yeah, actually, I do. I do. [SCENE_BREAK] Starr: Okay, I'll take you somewhere safe. Cole: Just the two of us? Starr: Just the two of us. Cole: Thank you. Thank you. Starr: That's okay. Let's just go, all right? Cole: God, I -- I -- I have to sign in at the drug treatment center. Starr: What? Like, right now? Cole: Yeah. If I don't, it's -- Starr: Okay, well, then let's just go and then we'll leave right after. Cole: And how are we going to do that without anyone noticing? Starr: We'll do it. You are not going to fail your next drug test, you're not going to go to prison, and I will not lose you to those pills. Cole: And what if I'm not strong enough? Starr: You are. Cole: I don't know. All this time, I felt so weak. Starr: You're not weak. You're an addict. Now, before we go -- Cole: Wait. I'll do it. I'll do it. [SCENE_BREAK] Brody: I'm sorry I dragged you into all this. Jessica: What, what? You didn't drag me anywhere. I'm where I want to be. But, I do have to go now. I have two little girls at home that need their mom and I don't think we're going to be able to keep this a secret much longer if I stroll into the house at dawn with my shoes in my hand. [Brody chuckles] Brody: Good point. Jessica: But I don't want to go. Brody: Then don't -- not yet. [SCENE_BREAK] Shane: I was so happy. [Shane sobs] Rex: Listen to me. Shane? You can still be happy. Okay? Do -- do you remember when you got sick and you weren't sure what was going to happen? But you got better -- right? And your mom and me, splitting up -- you can get through that, too. It's going to be hard, but you can do it. I will always be your father and I'm always going to want two things for you -- for you to be happy and for you to be healthy. And it looks like we got a pretty good shot at getting the healthy part covered. Now, we just got to work on making you happy. We will -- both of us, every day, because we love you more than anything. Shane: But you don't love each other anymore? Rex: It's not enough. [SCENE_BREAK] Singer: Hello hello, my love the one that I dream of the one that I tell all my secrets you are my symphony know every note from memory you're the one that picks up all my pieces and I can't resist so let me say this this I still believe your love is all that I need and I knew right then on the day we both heard a choir of angels Singer: I'll tell the universe walk the edge of the earth tell them all that we're not dreaming you put me on the path so thankful for what I have give this world a new meaning and I can't resist so let me say this this I still believe your love is all that I need and I knew right then on the day we both heard a choir of angels fly in the sky I can hear them now let the whole world see what we have known all along I still believe your love is all I needed and I knew right then on the day we both hear on the day we both heard
