Twisted Season Three Episode One: Second Chance Friends and Lovers
Tess can't believe her ears. "Pregnant?" She asks the doctor. She looks down at Jo who is sleeping peacefully. Kyle Masterson's heart drops. He reaches for his wife's hand and hold it to his chest. He looks over to the doctor. "How far, doctor?" The doctor looks at her chart. "About two months." He replies. Both Kyle and Tess are in shock. "She needs bed rest but she will be fine. She is just under alot of strain right now." He leaves the chart on the end of her bed and walks out of the room. Tess is seeing herself laying there. She never thought that Jo would make the mistake that she made and at such a young age. Danny walks in the room. "Well, how is she?" Kyle looks up and forces a smile. "She'll be fine." Tess forces back tears. "She's pregnant." Danny takes Jo's hand then suddenly looks up at the Mastersons. "Jo?" He shakes his head in disbelief. "I'm going to be a grandpa." Kyle said a matter of factly. Danny looks back down at her and moves the hair out of her eyes. "She'll not be alone in this. I won't let her." Both Tess and Kyle thank him. "Danny, do you know how this happened?" But Danny isn't listening. "Kyle, I think I know who the father is."
"More secrets, Tess?" He said to her with a hint of disgust. "Kyle, she told me the night Danny..." Her voice trails off. Danny dropped his head at the sound of his voice. He couldn't help but feel some how responsible. Tess continued speaking. "She said she felt stupid. And then admitted that it was Tyler." "Tyler Lewis?" Danny questioned her. Tess just shook her head. Danny couldn't hide his anger. He turned to leave. "Where are you going?" Kyle stops him. "To find Tyler. He needs to know. Phoebe should know where he is. He's going to take some responsibility for this. I'll see to it." He quickly walks out before Kyle can get a word out. "I don't like the sound of that." He tells Tess. "I'm going to try to talk to him. Let me know if anything changes with Jo." Tess nods and goes back to looking down at Jo.
Kyle sees Danny at the elevator. "Danny! Wait a minute!" He calls to the teen. "Chief Masterson. I know she is your daughter sir but I can't let her go through this when Tyler is out there. He needs to be here. For HIS baby." Kyle puts a hand on Danny's shoulder. Danny winces. "Sorry, I understand your feelings. Trust me. I want nothing more then to have Tyler answer for this. But you can't just go threatening the guy." Danny sighs. "Don't worry, I'll take care of this, I am afterall her father." Kyle tells him reassuredly. "You need to go home and rest. You are still recovering from being shot." Danny smiled though he would rather be the one to confront Tyler. "Would you mind if I told Lacey, sir?" Kyle replied. "Sure. I don't think Jo would mind. But noone else. This is going to be hard enough for her." Danny enters the elevator leaves trying hard to hide his aggitation.
Lacey can't get over Danny being back. She is waiting for him outside in the parking lot. She can tell be his stride that he is upset. "Danny? What's wrong? Is Jo alright?" He smiles at her. "She'll be fine." Lacey lets out a sigh of relief. "That's good. Why did she faint?" She asks him. "Strain of everything that is going on is what the doctor said." Then Danny turns and looks Lacey in the face. "Lacey, she's pregnant." Lacey puts a hand over her mouth in shock. "Oh my God! Wait! How?" Danny looks down his nose at her. "If you don't know how that happens by now, Lace." He says sarcastically. But Lacey doesn't appreciate his attempt at humor. "Poor Jo." was all she said. "Yeah." Danny says. "The Chief doesn't want this tho get out. So I kind of promised that we would tell anyone else."
Lacey shook her head. She knew what culd happen if those at school knew. "So any clue on who the father is?" Danny turns away from her and climbs into the car. He doesn't want to tell her. "Danny? Who is it? You can tell me." Lacey tries to talk to him as she also get in on the drivers side. But Danny remians silent. She glares at him. "Danny it's not Charlie, is it?" She asks him. Danny looks at her and she can see his feelings in his eyes. "Tyler Lewis." He mutters. Lacey spits out his name in surprise. "Tyler? Phoebe's brother?" Danny looks out the car window. "I never trusted that guy." Danny says almost growling the words. "So what are Mr. and Mrs. Masterson going to do?" Danny just shurgs. "How could she do that with him?" He says as continues looking out the window. Lacey can't answer him. She just continues to drive and they go back to Danny's place.
There is a knock on the door outside of Phoebe's home. Chief Masterson tries to maintain a friendly demeanor as the door opens. Phoebe greets him. "Hello Phoebe. Is your brother around?" She shakes her head. "Sorry Chief. He's not here. He moved out shortly after graduation. He's in Manhattan going to film school on a scholorship. He usually doesn't come here except on a break. I wish I could help you." Kyle clenches his fist. "Thank you, Phoebe. You wouldn't have a phone number where he can be reached, do you?" "What is this about?" She asks him. "I just really need to speak with him." Kyle tells her. Phoebe gladly gives Masterson Tylers phone number. He tips his hat to her as he thanks her. She slowly closes the door confused but smiling. Kyle waste no time dialing the number Phoebe gave him.
The phone rings and a young man answers. "Hello?" Kyle asks. "Tyler?" The voice on the other side responds. "Yes." Son the two are talking. "Cheif Masterson, sir. What do I owe the honor of your call?" Kyle trying to not yell into the phone. "Tyler, I need you to cme back to Green Grove as soon as possible." Tyler doesn't understand. "Cheif? Why?" "It's about Jo." Tyler can't help but get a little defensive. "Mr. Masterson, I don't know what she told you but she wouldn't return my phone calls." Kyle doesn't speak. "Do you know she is pregnant, Tyler?" No it is Tylers turn to be speechless. "I be there in the morning." The line goes dead and then there is a dial tone in Kyle's ear. Kyle clicks off his phone and gets into his car to head back to the hospital.
Danny and Lacey have stopped off at Johnny Cakes to get dinner. Danny fidgets in his seat. Lacey tries her best to try and calm him down. "Danny? It's going to be alright. Tess won't let her go through this alone. And she has us her friends." She puts her hand on Danny's. He takes hold of her hand and gives it a squeeze. Lacey can't help feeling that she has missed him so much. "Lace, I can't help but feel this is my fault." He says apologetically. "I feel she did this out of anger towards me." Lacey tries being supportive. "You shouldn't feel that way. Jo made that desicion. No one made it for her. She chose to do that. How could you even think for a second you're responsible for her condition." A young man's voice startles the both of them. "What's wrong with Jo?" Rico asks. Danny and Lacey turn to see Rico in the booth behind them. "Hey Rico." They said in unison. Danny smiles at him. "It's nothing. She is just needing rest." Lacey turns back to Danny. "Speaking of rest, we need to get you home." She reaches in her pocket and puts a five dollar bill on the table. They leave not answering Rico. He watches them leave but he can't help wondering what they were talking about. He decides to go to the hospital and see Jo himself but waits because the time is late. He will go in the morning and find out what Danny and Lacey are talking about.
Early morning, sunlight comes into Jo Masterson's room as the day breaks. Tess never went home. She has stayed there the night in case there was any changes. She is woken up by the sound of Jo's voice. "Mom? Where am I?" Tess leans over and kisses her daughter on the forehead. "You're in the hospital sweetheart." She says kindly. "Hospital? What happened?" Jo asks confused. "What do you remember?" Tess questions her. Jo speaks weakly, " I thought I saw Danny." Tess looks over at the person just entering the room. This draws Jo attention in that direction. "How are you doing?" Danny asks her smiling at her. Jo's eyes grow wide at the site of the young Desai boy.
"Danny, you're..." "Alive?" He cuts her off. "Yes. I'm sorry Jo." She turns away from him. Tess could tell that she was hurt and angry. "Jo. He had a good reason. Someone was trying to kill him and Karen. Witness Protection was his only option. You have to understand." Jo doesn't look at him. "Get out Danny!" Was all she said. He doesn't try to explain anymore. "Okay." He turns and leaves but not before bumping into another person entering the room. Danny glances up at the other young man entering the room. He puts a finger in the guys chest. "You better watch yourself." Tyler just nods. After witnessing Jo's wrath against Danny, he didn't want to rile he up any more. Tess greets him warmly. "Hello Tyler." He smiles. "Mrs. M." Jo slowly turns around to see Tyler Lewis. She then looks back at her mother confused. "What's going on and why is he here?" Tyler looks over at Tess. "She doesn't know?" Tess tells him. Jo slowly sits up in bed. Tyler takes a pillow to help prop her up. "Know what?" She asks him. He takes her hand. "Well, we're going to have a baby."
