Thursday 2nd January 2003. Parking Lot, near Route 495, Just outside Melville, Long Island. Bethany is waiting for an unexpected meeting, with Eric Lance, who claims, he has something of interest to her, which could keep both their secrets in tact. But, what is Eric really up to? Arriving from the west, Eric slowly manoeuvres into the parking lot and parks beside Bethany. Bethany rolls down her side window, as Eric removes his sunglasses. He kind of gives Bethany a smug look, but Bethany is unnerved by Eric's expression.
'Last time, I saw you was at the September 11th memorial last year, we had an interesting conversation didn't we?' Eric reminds Bethany.
'And I thought we agreed to go our separate ways,' Bethany adds. 'Now, is not the best time, my step daughter is on suicide watch.'
'Oh yes, I heard about that, some sort of distant relative of Rebecca's,' Eric figures. 'Must've been really close if she attempts to take her life.'
'Was it about Rebecca, you wanted to talk to me about or did you just want to make light conversation?' Bethany groans. 'I have driven over fifty miles to keep you happy.
'To be honest, Rebecca does have some sort of connection to what I'm about to show you, but not directly, with what I'm about to show you,' Eric confirms.
'Oh, OK, Hank, you have my attention,' Bethany sarcastically acknowledges.
Eric takes out a large envelope and hands it to Bethany. Bethany opens it and it reveals a photograph of Chris and Benjamin getting intimately involved. Bethany's face drops at her discovery. She glances back to Eric.
'Where's you get these?' Bethany asks.
'Chris and his Editor know of my true identity and in an attempt to keep them off my back, I blackmailed, Elaina Carlisle that if she continues to pursue her case against me and doesn't encourage, Chris his continued then I would reveal Emma and Rebecca's affair to him. Emma seems desperate to rely on Mrs Carlisle, but this latest discovery, gives me the hint that he knows of his wife's deception. And I believe you recognize the other male in the picture.'
'It would be completely foolish of me not to,' Bethany sighs. 'I suppose this is where I come in?'
'Help me out here Beth,' Eric pleads. 'Otherwise I may end up doing something I may regret yet again. I've tried to avoid using the darkness within me. Because if Chris talks, I won't be the only one before Judge and Jury. And that's not a threat Beth, that's a promise. That would probably put runaway Carla out of options. I'll be in touch.'
Eric reverses back and drives out of the parking Lot and back to Manhattan. Bethany sits in dismay and frustration while looking at the photograph of Christopher and Benjamin. But, why has Eric brought Bethany into the equation?
Francis Bay, Long Island. Rebecca awakes from her sedation in mid afternoon to find, visitor and friend, Emma by her side. Rebecca's shock attempted suicide had left everyone close to her rattled. Clara's death left everyone shocked, but nobody realized the extent it would drive Rebecca to. To those who don't know Rebecca's true identity, Clara was seen as Rebecca's adopted Aunt, but Rebecca herself and step mother Bethany, are the only ones that knew the truth. Rebecca was never Harry and Tina's daughter, she was never a Wilson. Clara was her birth mother, who gave her up for adoption as a baby and years later, Rebecca stole the identity of a supposed dead girl, who was in fact the daughter that Tina was forced to give away at birth. All Rebecca wanted out of life was love and stability, but it's been a long journey of complication and heartache for Rebecca. Rebecca is happy that Emma had been keeping a vigil eye on her and reaches out to her best friend, who holds her hand.
'Hi,' Emma smiles.
'Hi,' Rebecca answers, feeling woozy from the drugs.
'You had us all worried,' Emma points out. 'I'm glad you're alright.'
'I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you all,' Rebecca whispers. 'I think I scared myself.'
'We understand how much Clara's death effected you, she seemed like a nice lady,' Emma says.
'Yes, she was,' Rebecca agrees. 'How long have I been out?'
'In and out of consciousness for a day and a half,' Emma informs. 'Wait there I'll fetch your Dad, he's downstairs.'
Rebecca reaches out and stops Emma from leaving.
'Wait,' Rebecca calls. 'I need a hug.'
Emma holds Rebecca tight in her arms and Rebecca bursts into tears.
'We're all here for you Rebecca,' Emma insists. 'We love you.'
'That's nice to know,' Rebecca warms to Emma heart felt words.
'Oh by the way, Happy New Year,' Emma adds.
'It can only get better,' Rebecca said.
Minutes later, Emma descends the staircase and tells Harry, that Rebecca is awake. He hurries up to see her. Downstairs with flowers are Benjamin, Deloris and Christopher. Deloris has brought flowers for Rebecca, who is still in shock that her friend and colleague tried to end her own life.
'How is she?' Deloris wonders.
'I think she's still in shock,' Emma figures. 'Meeting Clara after so long and then losing her the way she did, Rebecca must've had a mental breakdown. Thing is she lost her mother, Tina in the September 11th attacks. She never got to meet her.'
'That's terrible,' Benjamin acknowledges. 'Those memories must still have an effect on her and it became too much to bare, losing her aunt Clara.'
'Did they put it down to an accident then?' Chris queries.
'From what I heard, Clara was drunk when she left and was driving erratically, she hit something and crashed. Her injuries were so severe, she died, while escaping her car,' Benjamin shrugs.
'Why do you know something we don't?' Emma asks.
'No, why do you think that?' Chris denies.
'Because if you're thinking about placing gossip and bullshit into your f***** newspaper, don't,' Emma snaps. 'There's a poor girl in turmoil upstairs. Show some decency.'
Emma storms into the kitchen and both Chris and Benjamin glance at one another.
Harry heads in to comfort his grief stricken daughter or the girl who he thinks is his daughter, who had been sedated following an attempted suicide, on New Years Eve. Harry is completely oblivious to what Rebecca conceals, but what she hides, isn't as worse, as what he may discover about his second wife, Bethany, who has kept Rebecca's identity to herself. All ever Rebecca ever wanted was love, but she has had this tenancy to get her into awkward situations, Having a one night stand with Emma, falling in love with Linda Perry who was a vampire who was then killed by the Francis Bay killer, manipulated into on/off sex with her stepmother Bethany, being tracked down by her birth mother, Clara Barton and then losing her, due to being another victim to the unidentified psycho Bay killer.
Harry sits beside Rebecca and holds her hand, she looks up and holds it together. Rebecca feels humiliated and embarrassed.
'I'm so sorry, Daddy,' Rebecca whispers. 'I didn't mean to scare you.'
'I figured you scared yourself too,' Harry says. 'You had my heart in my throat.'
'God knows, what might have happened if Bethany hadn't found me,' Rebecca sighs.
'Well it didn't, and thank God,' Harry replies, with relief.
'I don't know what came over me, Clara's death hit me like a ton of bricks . She was so nice,' Rebecca adds. 'All I can say, I wasn't thinking straight and it was just a moment of madness.'
'The mind has ways of trying to make somebody act, when they don't want to,' Harry claims. 'But, some of the events in the last sixteen months, haven't been too kind to us have they? Losing your mother the day of the attacks on the city, Jeff with his psychotic break and his death, the Linda Perry attack and now your aunt Clara, it has been too much to handle in the short time we've been together as a family. I can understand, with the force you've took...But, all we can hope for is to move forward.'
'You know, we have never talked about my mom,' Rebecca points out.
'No, we haven't have we,' Harry agrees. 'Just haven't had the right moment I guess.'
'Bethany?' Rebecca suspects.
'Maybe,' Harry shrugs.
'If you're worried, don't be,' Rebecca insists. 'It's just you and me.'
'OK,' Harry smiles. 'What would you like to know, about your Ma Ma, Tina?'
'What was she like?' Rebecca asks.
'She was amazing, the most beautiful, heart warming, outspoken, sensitive and loving person to be in my life,' Harry explains.
'Nothing wrong with sensitive,' Rebecca laughs a little. 'The best ones always turn out that way.'
'Yeah,' Harry laughs.
'When did you first meet?' Rebecca queries.
'Seventh Grade,' Harry informs. 'We only exchanged conversation a couple of times in the first year, then it wasn't until we were nine, we started to become friends. At her and your uncle Greg's 10th birthday party, I gave her pretend engagement ring and everyone laughed apart from Tina. I think she knew how I felt about her then.'
'That's really sweet Daddy.'
'It wouldn't be 'til, seven years later, we finally admitted our love for each other. Took me us ten years, but we got there...briefly.'
'I guess this is the part, which started your years in exile from each other?'
Harry grasps Rebecca's hand, as he remembers Tina, back at High School.
Monday 8th January 1979, Hexville High School.
Harry and Tina arrive from their holidays for their final few months of graduation, hand in hand. They smile lovingly glances at one another.
'I've got butterflies in my stomach,' Harry informs.
'Me too,' Tina answers.
'I've waited ten years for this moment,' Harry sighs. 'To say I how much, I Love you.'
'I love you too, handsome,' Tina grins, placing a passionate kiss on Harry's lips. 'And my parents have to like it or lump it, especially my dad.'
From a distance, Bethany jealously looks on, as the smitten lovers head on inside. Off the school bus, gets Greg feeling almost feeling lonely and left out. Dominic walks up to Bethany and asks her if she would like him to walk her to class?
'We're not in the same registry class,' Bethany sarcastically replies, before walking off.
Since the lab explosion, Dominic expected Bethany to see him as her hero, considering he pulled her out of the flames, but there seems to be little appreciation and acknowledgement of his heroics. Bethany still has her sights set on Harry.
A little while later, Harry bumps into Dominic and tells him that he was a hero for saving Bethany's life. Dominic appreciates Harry's gesture, and returns the same gesture. But, Dominic thinks he doesn't feel like one.
'How come?' Harry frowns.
'Well, Tina saw you as her night in shining armour. Bethany wished it hadn't been me,' Dominic whispers, upset.
'You got your girl man, I didn't. Sorry, if I feel envious of you Harry.'
After exchanging more conversation Harry heads of to English Class. As Dominic opens his locker, the Mason sisters come round the corner and Dominic can't help notice, Fallon wearing a low cut blouse, which makes her breast look big. Dominic keeps glancing back and forth as he reaches books in his locker. Fallon catches Dominic staring and she tells Felicity. Both girls are shocked and Dominic pretends not to look.
'Hey, Dom King?! Felicity snaps. 'What's your glitch? Why do you keep staring at my sisters tits?'
'Um...I don't know,' Dominic attempts at playing dumb.
'F***** pervert,' Fallon moans, as she and his twin sister walk off.
Greg then stands next Dominic as they walk off.
'Would you like to join the outcast club, King?' Greg asks. 'I'll buy you a beer sometime.'
Mid afternoon, Jonathan Wilson has drawn out his plans on the next part of his construction set, when one of his co-workers, turns out to be Barry in disguise. Jonathan feels uncomfortable.
'Don't worry boss, the next stash is safe, there's two thousand dollars for you in it,' Barry sniggers.
'You can't keep landing this on me,' Jonathan demands. 'Where have your anonymous buddies hidden it this time?'
'Here's a diagram, on where to find it,' Barry claims.
'Why can't they just hand the stash to you?' Jonathan grunts.
'Because, I'm under the police radar and I pay them not to ask questions, like I try to with you,' Barry bluntly states.
'Is there anyway you can be honest with me?' Jonathan pleads.
'Just be grateful, Harry could be on his way to college and success.'
'This money is criminal though. It could harm all my families future. I want to know please.' '
'Once I tell you, you're part of a very big team and no going back. Deal?'
'Deal.'
Friday 12th January 1979, Hexville High School.
The High School football team are slowly improving, despite being 14-30 down. It has been one of the worst seasons for the 'Hexville Terriers.' Tina cheers on the team and Harry, as Bethany sits feeling sorry for herself. The Mason twins walk on by and say their hello's to Harry, and they only do it in an attempt to irritate Tina, but Tina knows she has her man. From outside the gates, Hank Willis is watching and can see, Tina cheering on Harry and this make him feel, like he was nothing to her. His face turns red. '
'Harry, Harry, Harry,' Tina cheers on.
'Aren't you like supposed to be cheering on the whole team, not just your boyfriend?' Greg reminds his twin sibling.
'What are you talking about, he is the football team? Tina sarcastically replies.
'Jes' thanks a bunch, sis,' Greg groans.
Harry is in for a pass, and quarter back, Dominic King manages to throw it straight at an opposing players face and it bounces off his helmet and he goes to attack Dominic.
'You think that's funny asshole?' the opposing player bullies.
'It was an accident,' Dominic pleads.
The bully kicks Dominic to the floor and Greg intervenes.
'Just back off, tough guy,' Greg warns.
'What you gonna do Mcquire, get your father to sue my ass?' The bully tries to provoke.
Harry then enters the fold.
'How about you carry on with the game, instead of trying to assault one of our team players?' Harry insists.
'Of course, you have become the man of this joint recently, haven't you? Lucky bastard,' the bully player referring to Harry and Tina's relationship.
The Terriers resume play and Harry is on for another pass and is through for a touch down, but he then pulls up with a Torn muscle in his back leg and has to be removed from play.
Harry is in the locker room showers and is frustrated by his recent injury. Suddenly, he can hear footsteps and is shocked out of wits, when the Mason Twins attempt to seduce him in the showers completely naked.
'Would you like us to rub your leg muscles better sexy?' Fallon grins, as the two sisters step in.
'Um, last I checked this was the men's room,' Harry gasps, covering his manhood.
'We thought we could be of service to you,' Felicity smiles, as she puts her arm on Harry's shoulder.
'Look, you shouldn't be here,' Harry tries to explain. 'The football team will be back any minute.'
'So?' Fallon shrugs.
'They might get the wrong idea, Tina might get the wrong idea,' Harry panics.
Harry continues to back away from the twins sexual advances and they leave, but insist it won't be the last time, they try. Harry sighs with relief. Exiting the locker room, in their towels, Oswald Johnson spots Felicity and asks her if she was looking for him.
'There is no us, Oz,' Felicity claims.
'Then what were you doing in there, whore?' Oswald snaps, grabbing her arm.
'Hey, you jerk, get your meat hooks off my sister,' Fallon yells, scratching his face.
'Harry Wilson, is more of a man, than you'll ever be. You and I, we're so history,' Felicity informs a devastated Oswald. The Masons storm off leaving Johnson seething and staring at the locker room.
On the way out of school, Harry realizes he's left his watch in the locker room and assures Tina he will meet her outside. Heading back in, he grabs his watch and catches a glimpse of a shotgun pointing at him through the mirror. Harry ducks and dives from several gun shots, fired at him and he manages to escape.
Harry's parents later, attend the school as a stunned and shaken Harry was the target of somebody, who obviously didn't like him very much. Bethany is also concerned for her crush and the Mason sisters are curious, to whom may have wanted to bring harm to Harry? Harry informs Mary and Jonathan, he didn't get the chance to see who was shooting at him, but he suspects it may have been Hank Willis, who was standing outside the school fence, while they were playing football. Jeff then enters the fray. '
I would consider, my friends, if I were you now big brother,' Harry adds.
'I'll have a word with him, but lets not jump to conclusions,' Jeff answers. '
Don't jump to conclusions?' Harry moans. 'In case it slipped your mind, you so called best buddy is a gangster, he's still very much upset that me and Tina are together and he's seeking his revenge. Unless I'm mistaken, then I can't think of anyone else, who would want me six feet under.'
'Harry, son, whoever did this, will face the consequences, I promise,' Jonathan insists.
Billy and Audrey arrive to take Tina home after hearing about the attempt on Harry's life. The Wilsons nor Mcquire's acknowledge each other, apart from Audrey and Mary who glance smiles at one another.
'You're not with my daughter five minutes, Wilson and already you're putting her in danger' Billy grunts.
'Hey, now wait a minute, my son has no enemies,' Jonathan steps in.
Albert Kray arrives to get info on the attempt on Harry's life. Jonathan and Billy continue to argue and Albert demands that both parents calm down. Billy queries Greg's whereabouts to Tina? Tina says he met up with Dominic King.
Jeff later meets Hank and grabs him by the scruff of his shirt and asks if he had anything to do with the attempt on his younger brothers life? Hank denies it, but it still hurts to see Tina with somebody else. Albert Kray demands to know if it was Hank, because he's worried it could jeopardize the concealing of stolen cars, as a low profile would be a better option. Hank assures him, he doesn't own a shotgun or acquired it from anywhere else.
Hours later, Jonathan Wilson checks the hiding place, where he hid the money and it's still safely tucked away. Jonathan then catches a glimpse of a note, put halfway through his back gate. He makes sure the coast is clear and reads it. "It's time, tomorrow, 7:45 P.M, Cabin in woods. Don't late."
Saturday 13th January 1979, NYC, Manhattan.
About 260 Miles south of Hexville, Greg Mcquire and Dominic King, have gone on a gallivanting weekend to get away from the Suburbs. Greg hands some hoodies cash, which he stole from his father, William, in order for him to get some booze. Dominic hasn't felt so free, but fears getting the third degree from his parents. Greg insists he live a little, as he intends to.
Later on, Greg and Dominic are absolutely legless and Greg curses his father, as they sit near a lane. Greg thinks his father never loved him and was always favouring Tina, although he never blames her, but he's upset that his sibling has got too occupied with Harry and forgotten the bond between the twins. Dominic feels hurt, that Bethany feels nothing for him even after saving her from the lab fire. Greg assures Dominic, that there are plenty more fish in the sea. It starts to rain heavily Coming down the street is Frank Wilde and his twelve year old daughter, Helen. Frank calls out to a taxi cab, as they are in a rush to catch their next flight home back west and both Greg and Dominic drunkenly try to beat them to the taxi, but Greg ultimately and clumsily knocks his future wife, off her feet and into a puddle.
'You stupid Son Of A Bitch!' Frank yells. 'What the hell do you think you're doing?!' '
'It wasn't my fault, she needs to look where she's f***** going,' Greg slurs. 'Little brat.' '
'You swear in front of my daughter again, I will be putting your finger up your ass, permanently,' Frank threats.
'Daddy they're drunk and badly dressed and they smell funny too,' Helen winces.
'Um, Greg, I think we should be going now,' Dominic encourages.
'Wait, a minute, I wanna see if this bitch's old man can put my finger in my ass, permanently,' Greg grunts, gulping down some vodka.
'No problem,' Frank grins.
Frank throws a punch at Greg and misses, but ends up putting Dominic on the floor instead. Twelve year old Helen wastes no time, by kicking Greg right where it hurts most and he collapses to the floor in agony.
'I kicked him in the balls Daddy, I kicked him in the balls,' Helen laughs.
'That's my girl,' Frank chuckles. 'Get in the cab sweetie, before we miss our plane. I don't think these two dummies will be going anywhere, anytime soon.'
'God help the woman who ends up marrying that asshole,' Helen said, as she gets into the cab with her father.
The Taxi drives away. Greg staggers to his feet and yells out to the cab. '
'Yeah, and get help the poor Bastard, who will have to put up with your running commentary!'
Dominic slowly gets his vision back and Greg helps him to his feet and they stagger away.
Outskirts Of Hexville, Jonathan meets with Barry and introduces to his team. Barry informs Jon, that his team are informants to the project 'Gemini', who are studying Meta Human abilities at Area 51, out west. Jonathan laughs at this, and says that the whole thing has always been a myth to the world. Barry insists, that the supposed myth from out of space which began in 1901, is real and there have be re-occurring revelations, yet the government have had the project, permanently kept under wraps. Barry tells Jonathan that in order to make more money, they have had rocks stolen from Area 51 which contains a super substance and they have an affect on people, where significant changes occur. Jonathan suspects, they're using them as drugs, and then selling them as a trial, to see if they have some sort of affect on people and that's why Jonathan has been paid to conceal them, until Barry knows it's the right time to use them, as he is a former drug smuggler and is well known to the police. Barry pleads with Jonathan to join them and promises, that his name won't be mentioned to Area 51, but Barry makes it quick to inform Jonathan that the supplier to them, is Brad Morrison, Carla Morrison's father. Barry tells Jonathan, that his first job, is to aid in the capture of a girl who attends, Hexville High School, Rosaline Mack, who has the power to make her self invisible.
'No, thanks to your betrayal to project Gemini,' Jonathan adds. 'What will happen if I get caught?' '
'You don't mention us, or else,' Barry threats.
'Like that is it?' Jonathan sighs.
'Just remember where Harry's college funds are coming from, don't risk ending his future.'
After exchanging more info, Jonathan leaves. From a distance, a photograph is again taken from an unknown spy.
The Mcquire's are going out of their minds with worry and put out a missing report on Greg. Harry says he will help in the search for him and Tina assists him. Audrey blames Billy for making him run away and Billy again storms off.
Jonathan returns home and Mary asks, where he'd got to? Jonathan lies and says he went for a quick beer.
NYC, Dominic and Greg stagger through Times Square drunk. Dominic then spots 18 year old, Charlotte Matthews attempt to cross the crosswalk, when suddenly it turns green for traffic. Dominic rushes to stop Charlotte from cross as an oncoming vehicle is speeding towards her. Charlotte notices the car coming at her and she backs off, just as Dominic slips off the pavement trying to be a hero and gets mowed down himself. Dominic lies in pain and Greg laughs at him, but Charlotte is concerned for his wellbeing. 'Oh my God, somebody call an ambulance. Are you OK?' Charlotte worries.
'Are you my guardian angel?' Dominic groans, managing to get his sight back.
'Just relax, the paramedics are on their way,' Charlotte demands. 'That wasn't very clever now was it? You could have gotten yourself killed.' '
'No shit.'
Dominic drunkenly smiles at Charlotte.
'I'm Charlotte.'
'I'm pissed.'
Hexville, the Mcquire's breathe a sigh of relief when Greg calls home and Billy tells Audrey he will pick him up from the city and will have a serious chat with him, but Tina prefers herself and Harry to collect him from the Big Apple, just so Billy can calm down. Billy agrees, but thinks he won't calm down. On the way to Harry's car, Hank approaches him and swears he wasn't the one who tried to kill him at the school. So who was it? Billy receives a secret call from an anonymous tip.
Bethany sits eating popcorn, watching the opening credits to the second season of 'The Incredible Hulk,' starring Bill Bixby.
Saturday 4th January 2003, Francis Bay, Long Island. Benjamin Bates is sat watching the same opening credits in his cabin house, eating popcorn, as the show is repeated on cable.
Sunday 5th January 2003, Downtown Brooklyn. Chris and Benjamin meet at a bar, but Chris insists he cannot be too long away from Emma, as he needs to draw suspicion away from her and it's a non working day. Benjamin states that he desperately needs to talk with Chris and that he thinks it's time, they come clean sooner, rather than later. Benjamin reaches out to his lover, but Chris draws back, as some people begin to glare at them, and that Chris's face is familiar to a few locals, as he works for a big newspaper.
'It's gonna take time, Chris whispers.
'We've had time, I can't wait any longer,' Benjamin adds. 'I love you, I want us to be together.'
'I know,' Chris nods.
'Emma doesn't deserve you Christopher,' Benjamin continues. 'Let her down gently, before she dumps you in the gutter, for suicidal Becky, then I can come clean to Deloris.'
'But, it has to be the right moment,' Chris sighs. 'Thing is I'm going to reopen my investigation into Eric Lance.'
'Look, Chris, your case on Lance, could become very, very dangerous,' Benjamin worries. 'Drop, the whole thing, it's not worth get your ass kicked six feet under for.'
'The man is a sociopath, he needs to be stopped,' Chris insist. 'And Elaina claiming she had an affair with that guy, it's bullshit.'
The waitress brings a beer each for the two men and wait for her to leave, before they continue their conversation.
'He has a new girlfriend, supposedly, but she's just a cover up in his mind games, I can feel it,' Chris continues.
'You can't let your job rule you Chris,' Benjamin tries to advise. 'It could be your downfall. Your mother and father worked in dangerous territory and it killed them.'
'No, their demises, were personal,' Chris says.
'Your vendetta against Lance, is headed in that direction,' Benjamin argues. 'If you hurt yourself, you'll hurt the ones who love you.'
'Does your example, include Emma?' Chris sarcastically questions.
'If she does, then she had a funny way of showing it,' Benjamin explains. 'I'm not expecting to stop loving her totally, but we have something special going on. In time, she'll be shacking up with Rebecca again and you'll be the fool hung out to dry. Don't let Lance get to you and don't let Emma have the satisfaction on trying to manipulate you into having a kid together. She's only doing it, because she's guilty.'
'So, you want me to give up my case on Lance and you want me finish with Emma just like that?'
'Come stay with me at Francis Bay, give up the New York Times,' Benjamin encourages. 'Then when we've saved up, we can run away together, leave all our problems behind us, please it'll be great.'
'But, I love my job,' Chris said.
'It beats, me finding you dead in an alleyway,' Benjamin answers. 'Whatta ya say pretty boy? It's me or a downward spiral.'
JFK International Airport, Eric drops Chanel off at the airport, as she prepares to take flight. She is headed to Seattle and back in less than a day. Chanel and Eric look into each others eyes and she a passionate moment.
'That was nice,' Eric claims.
'I liked that too,' Chanel smiles, touching his face. 'There will be plenty more in the future.'
'Are you sure this will work?' Eric asks.
'Hopefully, it will be enough to keep shut, that killer instinct inside you,' Chanel replies.
'I promise, I won't lose it,' Eric promises.
'I hope so, because, I can't cover for you all the time, if things escalate into something dangerous. I know we have to keep things under wraps. But, if we want to do good, we can't do it, by murdering people. OK?' Chanel demands.
'Promise,' Eric agrees. 'So does that mean, I can call you your real name now, Megan and you can call me mine, Hank?'
'Best not, you just don't know, somebody could be watching us 24/7, namely what's left of the Cosmos Society or anymore suspicious Mafia informants.'
'Carla is a runaway and Bethany thinks she's got me round her little finger, but she ain't seen nothing yet,' Eric insists.
'We're gonna do this the right way, together,' Chanel demands.
'You have my word,' Eric nods.
After declaring their love for each other, Chanel exits the car and heads into the airport. Eric drives off. Chanel looks around the busy terminal and heads up an escalator and continues to walk to the ladies bathroom. Exiting she is in a long black dress and then makes her way to the indoor parking lot Chanel. Chanel slowly paces herself forward, pretending to speak on her cell phone, when a match is landed at her feet. She turns left and spots a Mercedes parked a mere five feet away and she hops into the back and turns to a boy about fifteen years old, it's Jack Wilson. Chanel touches his face and kisses him on the nose.
'How's my baby boy?' Chanel smiles. 'Like Mommies new look?'
Chris and Emma's Apartment, Lower Manhattan, NYC. Chris returns home and heads into the kitchen to make a cup of coffee and he then calls out to Emma, who doesn't reply. Chris slowly manoeuvres towards the bedroom and flings it open. Emma clothes are thrown across the bed. The bed looks like it's been slept again. Chris smells a rat and marches up to the partial closed bathroom door and pushes it open and finds Emma taking a shower alone. Expecting to catch his wife in the act, Emma is startled by Chris's abrupt entrance.
'I wondered where you got to?' Emma replies.
'Went to run a few errands, what's going on?' Chris asks.
'I've not been feeling very well,' Emma claims. 'I've tried to sleep it off, so I thought a shower might cool me down.'
'You've been spending too much time with Cousin Rebecca,' Chris groans.
'C'mon Chris, she tried to kill herself and her aunt died,' Emma reminds her husband as she steps out of the shower. 'It was a shock to her. I am her friend.'
'If you say so,' Chris bluntly whispers turning away and into the kitchen.
Emma follows after to her husband in her towel, as he seems to show his personality change again and this leaves Emma feeling really uncomfortable.
'How long do you have to keep up these uncomfortable conversations?' Emma snaps. 'Let's just get it all out in the open once and for all.'
'You first.'
Emma stands silent, as she cannot admit her one time night stand with Rebecca. Chris suspects there maybe more to it, than a one night stand. Emma frowns and shakes her head in disbelief. Chris shrugs his shoulders and leaves the apartment. Emma returns to the bedroom and looks to the bottom of the bed. From under it, Rebecca appears covering her naked body in a blanket cover.
'He knows, doesn't he?' Rebecca figures.
'Yeah, and so does Bates,' Emma thinks. 'And I like to know how.'
'Do you regret this?' Rebecca wonders.
'No, but we need the right moment, it's gonna difficult.'
Emma and Rebecca hold each other close in arms.
