INT. NEWMAN COTTAGE - BED ROOM

Sharon is asleep in her bed when she has memories of the night Sully was "born" and starts tossing and turning. She jolts out of bed and is sweaty. She wipes her face with her shirt as Dylan comes up a few minutes later with breakfast in bed for her - scrambled eggs, bacon, toast, and home fries.

"How did you sleep?"

"I'm slept fine," Sharon said not letting on about the memories because she wasn't sure what they meant. "Mmm, this looks really good."

"It was my pleasure. Anything for the woman I love."

Sharon smiles and kisses Dylan as she starts eating her food. "Are you going into the station today?"

"Yeah, at least for a little bit. Do you have any plans yourself?" Dylan asked.

"Not really. It's a boring day."

Sharon finishes her meal and hopes in the shower with Dylan to get cleaned up. Afterwards, she gets dressed and goes downstairs to meet her daughter, Faith.

"Are you ready for school, sweetheart?"

"I'm ready, mommy."

"Okay. Let's go."

INT. LIVING ROOM - PENTHOUSE 2

Nick and Sage are finshing their morning coffee when someone knocks on the door. Nick answers the door and it's Shawn, the mother that the couple plan on adopting from. She walks in as he closes the door behind him.

"Can we offer you anything to eat or drink?" Sage asked.

"No, I'm good. I had something before I came over," Shawn said shaking her head no. "I got your text that you had some news."

"Yes, we do," Nick smiled as he took something from the drawer and placed them on the table. "These are the legal papers to finalize the adoption. All you need to do is sign and we're good to go."

Nick hands Shawn a pen as she sits down. She looks over the papers carefully and signs everywhere her signature is needed. She hands them back and smiles. "There. All done. I'll be staying at the GCAC if you need me."

Shawn leaves the penthouse as Nick and Sage kiss each other and celebrate by pouring 2 glasses of champagne.

INT. LIVING ROOM - NEWMAN COTTAGE

Sharon returns home with Sully after taking Faith to school but as she comes through the door, she's hit with the memory of her miscarrying her child she had with Dylan. Her knees buckle as she falls to the ground crying making the devastating realization that Sully isn't her son at all and is actually Sage's but she doesn't have the proof. After she composes herself, Sharon cuts a piece of Sully's hair and hers as well and puts it in a plastic bag to be tested.

INT. LAB - MEMORIAL HOSPITAL

Sharon is pushing Sully in the stroller and parks it right in front of the bench as she walks up to the lab door and knocks. Moments later, a technician opens up.

"Hello. How can I help you?"

"Hi. I need some samples tested to determine paternity," Sharon said handing him the bag with the strands of hair. "It's urgent. How soon can I get the results?"

"We're pretty swamped but I can put a rush on it and have them to you by tomorrow."

"Yeah, sure. That's fine. I'll see you then."

Sharon walks over to the bench and sighs heavily as she calls Nick, who's at Crimson Light grabbing a coffee and a muffin.

"Hey, Sharon. What's up?"

"Thank god I got in touch with you," Sharon said frantically.

Nick notices the change in tone of Sharon's voice. "What's wrong? Did something happen to Faith?"

No, she's fine. Is Sage with you?"

"No. She went for a walk. I'm supposed to meet her in Chancellor Park. Why?"

"I need to see both of you. It's about Christian."

Nick is confused as to why Sharon wants to talk to them about Christian because he's dead but he agrees to meet up with her to see wants. "Okay. I'll see you in a little bit." Sharon hangs up and takes Sully back home.

EXT. CHANCELLOR PARK

Sage is taking a walk while unbeknownst to her, an unknown person is watching from the bushes. Sage goes to sit down when she hears a noise that startles her. "Who's there?" She goes to look around when the unknown person walks up behind her from around the corner and starts to strangle her with their bare hands.

Sage starts to fight back by kicking them when she comes face-to-face with her assailant and is horrified. "Oh, my god! Why are doing this?! The assailant cotinues to strangle her but from the front this time as Sage's legs and arms go limp and they drop her lifeless body on the ground. They flee the scene just as Nick and Sharon arrive.

Nick and Sharon see Sage on the ground and he rushes over to her. He kneels down and notices faint hand prints around around her neck as he checks for a pulse. Nick shakes his head as a worried Sharon looks at him.

"Is she-"

"Yeah," Nick said as his voice trembled with sadness. "She's dead."

A shocked Sharon pulls out her phone and calls Dylan at the station. "Dylan, it's me. I need you and Paul to get to Chancellor Park right away."

"What's wrong?"

"Sage was killed tonight."

"We're on our way."

Dylan grabs his jacket and tells Paul about what happened to Sage and they leave the station. Meanwhile back in the park, Sharon puts an around Nick to comfort him during his loss as he hugs and cries in her arms.
