Francis Bay, Long Island
NY State.

It's a few days since, Harry returned home safe and sound, since his ordeal at the home of the now deceased, Gloria Lang. Harry still has fractures to an arm and leg, but is assured of the comfort from Bethany and Rebecca. Bethany again hides a dark secret of what occurred the previous Monday evening in Benjamin's cabin Rebecca is somewhat anxious, on what happened at the home of Gloria's, but Bethany insists that Harry will tell her all in good time. Rebecca reminds Bethany that Ingram is still lurking around and she feels intimidated. Bethany considers speaking to him, but Rebecca reminds Bethany, that she will be implicating herself in perverting the course of justice. Bethany promises her step daughter that everything will work out fine.

The police have already questioned Harry on the events of the four days he was missing, but Harry lies and says that Gloria was just a scared girl, who's mind was messed up by a killer disease.

A missing report has gone out on Officer Durham, and this disturbs Deloris and Dominic, as they fear there is a massive re-occurrence of missing people in Francis Bay and Dominic smells a rat. Plus, the police suspect that Linda Perry may not have been behind all the missing cases, prior to her death, back on the 1st November previous year. Dominic is convinced in his own mind, that Bethany is connected to Charlottes disappearance.

The mayor declares a town meeting via a press conference and this throws Bethany into immediate action.

'What's the link here?' Hugo asks.
'When I queried the guest of that Hex-Ville reunion, guess who one of them was?' Beagle speaks.
'Harry Wilson?'
'You got it,' Beagle nods. 'The vampire, Linda Perry who was found dead on Francis Bay, beach last year, was a missing employee, under a different name. The organization was the Cosmos,
the secret organization that studied Meta Humans, was where she worked. It's in fact the same organization, that was involved in Wilsons adopted sons, kidnapping four years ago. If you look at the news article, the on the Halloween night before she died, she attacked Harry Wilsons wife, his daughter and himself.
'But, what do the Wilsons have to do with what happened in Hex-Ville?' Hugo wonders.
'That's what we're gonna find out,' Beagle informs.
'You want to go to Francis Bay don't you?' Hugo suspects.
'Listen, Mrs Carlisle and Mrs Emma Wilson started this, it's a chance to expose a great conspiracy here. The Wilsons sound like they have a massive connection to something extremely bad,' Beagle explains. 'They could be the reason Abraham is in a coma.'
'OK, but I have to remind you, it's not our jurisdiction.'
'That's why I've put in our vacation form.'
'Which starts?'
'This Monday. We've got more of a chance of unravelling the truth, than the dimwits of Francis Bay, who can't see what's happening under their noses.'

2003
Francis Bay, Long Island

The mayor brings together the majority of the towns people of Francis Bay for a very important meeting, following two kidnappings, two deaths, another person missing and several other happenings that have occurred in Francis Bay. One local sarcastically suggests, that everyone might as well call Francis Bay 'Amity Second- Ville.' Locals ask why so many mysterious and horrific happenings have occurred in the last six+ months? The mayor tells everyone to be calm and informs them that the FBI will be within the vicinity of the Bay in the next couple of days and may warrant to search not only public areas and outskirts of the Bay, but also will set up surveillance in certain neighbourhoods of the town. The mayor concludes that there may be some paranormal presence in Francis Bay. Bethany seems prepared for the coming threat, that could implicate her, in the influence of Charlottes and Durham missing status, Linda Perry, Clara Bartons and Joe Hayes deaths etc. How long can she hold out, until suspicion is gone? If it ever will, considering Bethany senses people are whispering amongst themselves, making assumptions.

Metropolitan Hospital, Manhattan, NYC.

Elaina brings Andy along with her, to see his father Abraham, who has been in a coma for weeks and it's only weeks, until they know for sure if Abraham will make a recovery. Andy stays strongs as he holds his fathers hand.

"Be brave OK," Elaina says. "Daddy will make it through you'll see. It's just like he's sleeping."

"Mommy, if he dies, will he go to heaven?" Andy asks. " Like where Grandpa Brendan went?"

"He won't die, don't say that," Elaina acknowledges.

"But is there a Heaven?"

"Of course theres a heaven. There's a place in Heaven for all of us. But, not just yet. We've got to get busy living first, that goes for your father too."

"Sure."

About a minute later, Elaina recieves a message on her cell phone. 'Remember our meeting, the time, the place. I have something important to give you. Please I beg of you, it's important. Again I'm sorry for what happened to Abraham.' Who is the mystery caller?

Francis Bay, Long Island.

Bethany, Emma and Rebecca return home and the phone rings. Bethany answers it. It cuts off. Bethany heads upstairs to check on Harry, who is sat watching 'Sally Jessy Raphael' and still without a memory. The phone rings again and this time, Rebecca answers it, leaving Emma in the kitchen. It's Ingram demanding a meeting. He tells her it could keep her in good stead if and when Federal Agents investigate the area. Emma asks who it was? Rebecca lies and says she couldn't hear who it was and that it could have been a prankster. Bethany is unable to show any pictures familiar to him, as they were burnt in the explosion, at Harry's apartment in Season Sevens 'Explosive Grudge.' Bethany tries to get him to think hard about their high school years, but nothing she says can make him remember. Bethany heads into the bathroom and heads into thought.

Sunday
1st April
1979
Hex-Ville,
Upstate NY.

Carla plays an April fools prank on Bethany by suggesting Harry wrote her a letter declaring his love. Bethany hurries to Harry's home, where she sees him in a clinch with Tina. Bethany assures that she will get her own back. Carla reminds her to do it before 12:00 PM.

It's a month since, Audrey had an abortion and Billy is determined to destroy his enemies.

Harry is still in shock at Jeff's change and working for Jonathan their father at the construction site, but Harry still doesn't trust him.

Bethany is upstairs, when she hears a scream from downstairs and finds Carla with a broom, who tells her sister there is a snake under the kitchen sink. Bethany goes to retrieve and it's a fake.

"You rotten Bitch," Carla curses.

"April Fools," Bethany chuckles.

"Not f*****g funny. What if I had a heart condition?"

"Told you I get my own back."

"Wow, you sure have guts little sister, still can't believe you took my word."

"I bet if it was the other way round, you'd believe it too," Bethany suggests.

"Yeah, right," Carla denies.

Albert Kray is eventually approached by the Crocetti mob after being watched for a month and is blackmailed into doing bigger jobs for them, more dangerous jobs or he will regret he ever knew the Crocetti's. He is also told to have Hank Willis involved. Billy Mcquire is relishing seeing the local policeman under severe pressure, but is disappointed that Jeff is no longer part of the Grand Theft Conspiracies, but that may not be the end of it, just yet.

Jeff is finding his feet at the construction, he is listening and singing to George Harrisons 'My Sweet Lord,' on the radio when Carla pays him a visit.
"Found religion have you Jeffrey Wilson?" Carla teases.

"Hey you," Jeff smirks.

"Been put on the naughty step or this a way of trying to make yourself believe your a change man?" Carla asks.

"Don't worry I hadn't forgotten about you," Jeff insists, giving Carla a peck on the cheek. "This is a surprise. Not giving Hank the time of day?"

"Only for today, he's got a big job on with Kray."

"Not as big as long as I'm not there."

"Does that mean I still get to share you both?"

"Now, Carla that's only limited now."

"Then when?" Carla queries.

"Soon, I promise," Jeff claims.

Carla looks up and see Jon Wilson working. Jeff notices Carla looking.

"That's not a good idea, remember what happened the last time, you started teasing my father," Jeff reminds Carla

"Your right, there is a time and place after all," Carla raises her eyebrow. "Catch ya later hot stuff."

Harry is informed that there are no leads on who tried to shoot him in the school showers, three months earlier and is just put as a random attack. This frustrates Harry, but Tina pleads with to let it go and concentrate on their relationship and prospects when leaving High School.

Audrey meets up with Otto Cole, and confesses to aborting their baby. Otto is shocked and storms off.

Dominic has a secret meeting with Charlotte and the only way they can be together is if they get married, by the time High School is finished in the summer.

"I love you Charlotte, your the best thing to happen to me in...well your the best thing," Dominic says.

Monday
3rd February
2003
Francis Bay, Long Island.

Dominic holds a picture Charlotte in his hands, blaming himself for her being missing. The guilt he's carried for years, based on their son James death and for his conspiracies involving Bethany. All he has left, is Deloris and if she ever discovered the truth, she would possibly hate him more than Charlotte ever did and he would then rot in prison. Deloris then surprises him and tells him that the FBI are in town and are setting up surveillances in and around the town. It may last some time.

Rebecca has an uncomfortable meeting with Ingram and he demands $2000 a week to keep quiet about concealing a once murderer in Linda Perry and her relationship with her, or he will expose he truth. Rebecca is in a massive dilemma.

Hugo and Beagle are making their journey to Francis Bay to investigate the Wilsons, but they have to try and hold off the press and FBI to get to the front of the pile. Beagle reads out more news articles based on events in Francis Bay.

"She was Rebecca Wilsons Aunt from adoption," Beagle points out. "By the time we're done here, we're gonna be World news and famous."

"I couldn't agree more. The Wilsons secrets will soon be unravelled."

Has Bethany's lies and horror secrets about to exposed or has she come prepared for defence once again?

FRANCIS BAY, TOWN CENTRE

The town is now under surveillance by the FBI following missing persons and deaths occurrences over the past few months.

Dominic still possesses the Dictaphone that was once Joe Hayes and it reveals deadly secrets involving both Bethany and himself. He hides it under the bed, when Deloris makes an appearance. Deloris says, that she feels suffocated by the watch of the Federal Government following her mothers disappearance and suspected death. Dominic vows to protect his daughter.

Hugo and Beagle arrive portraying two people on a fishing trip.

Bethany watches on from the kitchen, as surveillance is installed on the porch, as well as on the Lighthouse. THE CAMERA PANS INTO THE BASEMENT WHERE THE SECRETIVE DISC BASED ON COSMOS INFORMATION WAS PLACED, IS NO LONGER IN THE BASEMENT. Ingram smugly glares at Rebecca, who has blackmailed her to keep quiet. Bethany pulls Rebecca into the kitchen.

'Don't draw attention to yourself. Let me handle this,' Bethany warns.

'Why what are you gonna do?' Rebecca curiously asks.

'He's not the first person I've come face to face with where blackmail is concerned.'

'Bethany, this is one cop I think I wouldn't like to cross. His threats are serious.'

'So's mine. Now, go take a glass of water up to your father and spend time with Emma.'

'You do realize, we're under the FBI's radar now? One small mishap, my future is doomed.'

'It's a good job, I'm here then, isn't it?'

NEW YORK CITY, MANHATTAN
ABRAHAM AND ELAINA APARTMENT

Elaina is dressed presentable and calls her cousin and tells her how grateful she is for looking after the Andy for the Night. Elaina takes a quick peek in her handbag. It has a loaded pistol inside. Why does she have a weapon in her handbag? Elaina leaves the apartment calmly. Elaina exits the apartment block and hops into her car and proceeds to an unknown destination.

FRANCIS BAY
BENJAMINS CABIN HOUSE

Bethany takes a look in on Benjamin, who is pretty tense and rather shaken. She sits with him on the bed.

'What if Benita comes back?' Benjamin worries.

'As long as this town is under surveillance, you can't leave this room,' Bethany insists.

'Great idea Mom, like that's not gonna create suspicion.'

'As long as a threat is out there, Benita can snap at any time.'

'So how long do I have to keep up the pretence? Until I grow a five foot beard?'

'The Feds are not gonna be here forever. I will get us out of this. I've not failed so far.'

'Don't you mean we?'

'OK we.'

'So, I guess I have to pretend to be ill?'

'Have you any other suggestions?'

'Please don't blow this mother. Otherwise this bedroom will feel a whole lot quicker to prison, than the f*****g psycho...you know. '

Bethany pauses momentarily and realizes something. She smirks to herself. Benjamin wonders what she has in mind.

'What is it?'

'I think I know how to save us.'

Hugo and Beagle are watching the Wilson house via binoculars, pretending to fish. They agree to make their move by morning.

Ingram demands money from Rebecca by midday, on the phone. Rebecca is in a dilemma.

SARATOGA SPRINGS
NY STATE

It's Dark. ELAINA CARLISLE and ERIC LANCE are face to face for the first time in weeks. The meeting between the two takes placeswithin the vicinity of Abrahams hit 'n run. The sound of a river is raging below on a cold is disguised in a hoodie and Elaina is upset, that he had the nerve to contact her, considering she feels he is partially responsible for Abraham being in a coma. Elaina wearing LEATHER GLOVES grips her hand bag, as he comes out of the shadows.

ERIC: 'Hi Elaina, ' Eric speaks.

Elaina stares at him aggressively with reply. Eric takes two steps towards pulls out a REVOLVER from her handbag and points it at Eric. Eric suddenly stops and raises his hands slightly.

'I'm not your enemy.'

'Then what are you? You're certainly not a friend, ' Elaina seethes.

'I'm sorry about Abs, I never wanted it to come to this.'

'Why did you bring me here of all places?'

'I didn't run very far. To be honest I didn't have to. '

Elaina frowns still pointing the gun at him.

'You're the reason he's in the hospital.'

'Now, wait a minute, I wasn't the one who kidnapped you.'

'And why did Christopher do it? All because of you!'

'Fine OK I started this mess, are you f*****g satisfied now?!'

Elaina's hand shivers, as she seems willing to get her revenge. Tears roll down her face.

'I won't be satisfied until you pay for what you did.'

'Can you at least hear me out, before you decide my fate?'

'Go ahead, I'm listening.'

Eric feels uneasy explaining himself with Elaina still pointing her gun at him.

'Can you at least let me explain, without that thing?...please?'

Elaina hesitates.

'Please, I know I'm a hard person to understand, but tonight you can trust me. I called you here for a good cause...and because I need your help.'

Elaina eventually lowers the gun, although still making eye contact, to be sure that Eric doesn't make any threatening movements towards her Eric lowers his hands, as Elaina places the gun cautiously into her handbag. Eric points to a bench overlooking the Springs river.

'Can we sit down?'

Elaina doesn't reply. She doesn't feel that she can be safe enough to trust him.

'Please Elaina this is a matter of life and death. A lot of people can get hurt.'

:
'Too late for that. But, I 'll listen...for now.'

Elaina walks ahead of Eric, who follows on behind. The two take a seat overlooking the Springs. Elaina is shivers. Eric takes note.

'Are you cold?' Eric queries.

'Don't pretend you care. Andy looked up to you,' Elaina snaps.

'How is he?'

Elaina turns annoyed

'How do you think he is? His father is on life support. '

'Do you know why Abraham was run over that night or who kidnapped Christopher and myself?
Elaina remains a bit more calmer.'

'It was Chanel. Or so I thought it was her.'

'You thought? Does this have to do with the disk that you gave me before the break in?'

'I'll come to that. But, Chanel wasn't Chanel. She was Bethany's sister. '

Elaina is confused

'Bethany's sis...you mean Bethany married to Harry Wilson?'

'I'm not going to lie to you anymore Elaina. That disk had vital and incriminating evidence on the Cosmos Organization. Even criminal activity involving me.'

'I should have known, you and the Cosm...'

Eric interrupts her to try and assure her.

'No, no, I was never part of that society directly, only...I had a relationship with the Founder of the organization.'

'But, what does that have to do with Bethany?'

'Carla, Bethany's sister was the daughter of the founder of project Gemini, after his project was shut down in 1979, she secretly restarted it in the Autumn of 1995 under the name Cosmos.'

Elaina's mouth drops in shock at Eric's admission.

'Oh my God.'

'Have you not heard from Christopher?'

'No, Emma spoke to him, the night he disappeared. He's was calling somewhere on Long Island.'

'Chances are he's dead.'

'What makes you so sure?'

If Carla didn't get to him, somebody else would have finished the job.

'Like who?'

'Bethany maybe hiding out in a small Atlantic town, but she's not afraid to defend herself if pushed.'

Elaina stands and starts walking towards her car. Eric jumps up and hurries after her.

'Where are you going?' Eric panics.

ELAINA:
'I need to inform Emma.' Elaina says.

Eric blocks Elaina's path.

'Totally out of the question, you tell her nothing.'

'She already suspects something is not right. She will take it upon herself to find the truth.'

'Why, because you told her the disk concerned Harry? Jesus Elaina that was stupid.'

'Christopher was her husband, she needed to know, what he could have been involved in.'

'Well, lets hope the under surveillance town of Francis Bay catches onto to Bethany's antics, before she acts. Because she will. Joe Hayes mission failed, so I had no choice but to turn to you again.'

'Joe Hayes, the one that held Bethany and Dominic King hostage in the house?'

'He was working for me to snuff the truth out of Bethany and Dominic. But of course he died'

'Wait a minute, what does Dominic have to do with Bethany and her sister?'

Eric pauses momentarily

'Bethany and Dominic orchestrated the death Of Jeff. They tracked him to Caribbean via a computer, after Carla's last hideout was snuffed out.'

Elaina puts her hands on her head in disbelief.

'What?! What kind of people...?'

Eric puts both his hands on Elaina's to keep her calm.

'I'm sorry both yourself and Abraham got dragged into this. But, I suggest you tell Emma to not pursue her intensions...it could backfire.'

'What do you want me to do?'

'Now, I here Harry had an ordeal recently and has lost his memory. It's best it stays that way for a while. Did you know Harry and Tina adopted a son?'

'Yeah, he was called Jack. Why?'

'Are you prepared for a double shock or treble?'

Tuesday 4th February 2003, Francis Bay, Long Island.

Rebecca takes of Harry, while Bethany goes to work at the bank. Benjamin is driving himself crazy, keeping himself out of the spotlight.

Deloris grabs some fresh air and notices, Benjamin hasn't turned out of work and purposely makes it aware to authorities, by speaking out loud to locals. She will never forgive Benjamin for the humiliation she suffered at the Palace Hotel in New York and adds that he is a weird character.

The FBI show up at the cabin house, where Benjamin fakes being ill and makes a good job of it. The Feds say that some locals have referred to him as weird, but Benjamin assures them it's just somebody wanting to get back at him, because he cheated with another man. Benjamin insists he has nothing to hide and even prepares to allow the agents for a search of his cabin.

With the rumours circling bay, that the strange occurrences happened, when the Wilsons moved to town, the previous summer and may hold the key to all the heartache, such as missing persons, Vampire attacks and murder.

Bethany goes to the bathroom and looks in her handbag. It contains $25,000 and the Cosmos necklace which was once, Joe Hayes.

Harry is sat watching TV, when Rebecca enters and he asks her, what was the turning point in which she decided to find him. Rebecca claims it was always her dream to find her real parents and even though it was heartbreak when Tina died, she found perfect comfort in find her biological father. Harry reminds Rebecca that there is still so much memory lost and she assures him, that it will return one day. Harry shocks Rebecca, by suggesting going to Gloria Lang's burial, as it wasn't entirely her fault, the way things happened. Rebecca reluctantly agrees to take him.

Midday, Bethany is at lunch and meets with Officer Ingram near the woodlands and laughs that Rebecca couldn't come herself. and had her step mother do her dirty work Little does Bethany know, that she has been followed by an agent.
'I actually offered to take her place,' Bethany said, taking out cash. 'I have twenty five thousand dollars in cash, for you to stop this pursuit.'
'You are desperate,' Ingram chuckles. 'Or she is?'
'Why is it so important to you, to blackmail my step daughter?'
'My partners and colleagues died, because of her protecting that Linda Perry. If she had the nerve to come forward and not be blinded by love, a lot of innocent people would still be alive!'
'So what has stopped you from making an arrest? Are you just as cunning as Ted Sumner was?'
'Ted Sumner and myself did have history. Not like that, but we did have a few tricks up our sleeves. But, your definition of cunning, you could look at yourselves in the mirror. Did Harry know about Rebecca and that monster before his amnesia?'
Bethany does not reply. Ingram takes the hint.
'I guess not. It will take more than twenty five grand to keep me out of the picture,' Ingram threats.
'Then I guess, you've left me with no choice,' Bethany acknowledges.
Bethany takes out the Cosmos necklace. And begins to hypnotize Ingram with it, just as an agent sneaks up behind her and points a gun at her. Bethany shows no fear and orders Ingram to kill the agent under hypnosis. Ingram draws his firearm, but the agents shoots the Cop on sight. Distracted by gunning down Ingram, Bethany uses the necklace on the agent and he is forced to shoot himself. Bethany calmly reclaims the money and places it inside her handbag with the necklace and leaves the scene.

Bethany returns to the bank like nothing happened, with a hamburger. But, in order for the full surveillance to leave along with the FBI, she has to come up with a much tactical plan.

Hugo and Beagle head into the Kings Café and meet with Dominic and Deloris.

Central Park Manhattan, NYC.

Elaina desperately tries to convince Emma, to not let it be her own personal investigation into Christopher's disappearance. Emma suspects Elaina is hiding something. Elaina denies this, but warns that getting in too deep, could have her meet a fate, that could be fatal. Emma reluctantly agree to let it lie, but is Emma really going to listen to Elaina's advise? It is really advise from Eric Lance to Elaina, that has made her try to convince Emma.

Francis Bay, Long Island.

Hugo and Beagle ask Deloris about the Wilsons and she informs them, that she keeps her distance as she refers to them as dysfunctional and fears that they have brought a curse to the Bay since they moved in the previous year. Dominic suspects they're after something and orders them to leave. Deloris is shocked by her fathers outburst. Hugo and Beagle then exit and little do Dominic and Deloris know, that Hugo and Beagle recorded the whole thing. They then meet up with a local officer, who tells them about Linda Perry, who attacked the Wilsons at their home on Halloween night and the death of a close relative to Rebecca. The police suspect, that somebody may have it in for the Wilsons and could be trying to implicate them in crimes. Their closest suspicions lay with the Cosmos, who kidnapped Harry's son back in 1999. Bethany watches the conversation from the bank, but cannot hear what is said, yet finds the two men familiar.

Benjamin is sat in his room, watching TV, when a news bulletin comes on, announcing the death of Ingram and a federal agent and the finding of a body, about 30 miles west of the Bay. The body is yet to be identified. Benjamin calls his mother, who demands he sit tight.

New York Times

Elaina makes a brief visit to her office, where she watches the unveiling of a body on Long Island and the continuing surveillance on Long Island. A camera shot catches Hugo and Beagle in frame and it suddenly hits Elaina who bugged her phone. She is livid. But, Elaina must wait instruction from underground Eric.

Francis Bay

Hugo and Beagle fear they may have been caught out, by a camera crew. They conjure up, their next move. Deloris wants answers on Dominic's outburst. He says he is sick and tired of the Wilsons being referred to and wants things back as they were. News suddenly filters through on the recovered body. Dominic and Deloris fear it is Charlotte.

It's early evening, and Bethany leaves work, where she accidently bumps into Hugo and Beagle extra disguised and she loses the Cosmos necklace from her handbag, without realizing. Bethany makes herself scarce and the two fake tourists capitalize on her mistake and take the necklace.

Harry, Emma and Rebecca are watching the news, as tensions in the household raise, as well as in the cabin, where Benjamin is and the identity of the body is revealed. Before Bethany heads in the house, she checks in on her fearful son.

'What's the matter?' Bethany asks.
'Mom, they found the body,' Benjamin shakes.
'Who's body?'
'Steven Whittakers.'

Metropolitan Medical Hospital, Manhattan, NYC.

Elaina grasps her comatose husband. She is aware that the Cosmos, who is actually Bethany's sister and partially Bethany herself are the reason Abraham's life hangs by a thread. Elaina wants to exact her revenge, but Eric Lance has warned of a retaliation if the Cosmos aka Carla Morrison, or Bethany get the heads up. Already Emma could soon become stubborn and ignore Elaina's pleas and Emma lives under the same roof as Bethany. But, with Francis Bay under surveillance and a body discovered, Bethany's time as a free woman is at a limit. But can she still worm her way out of it?

Francis Bay, Long Island.

Hugo and Beagle prepare to make their move. Even though the Wilson residence is under surveillance, they use their knowledge of what they've discovered. Plus, they need to find the disk, which is possibly in the house...But it's not. They decide to make their way to the house on foot.

Meanwhile, the two FBI Agents that previously questioned Harry over the whereabouts of Steven Whittaker, after the escaped from prison, find it odd that he was discovered, only about 50 miles west of the Bay. Rebecca finds Ingram's abrupt death rather odd. Bethany tells Rebecca she has nothing to worry about. Rebecca starts to wonder where Emma's got to. There is a knock at the door. It's Dominic, he's come to see how Harry is, considering he has cold feelings against both Rebecca and Bethany for different reasons. Bethany warns he still has no memory, before his assault by Gloria Lang. The two ladies also pray for Charlottes return, even though Bethany already is aware of Charlotte's brutal fate. Dominic sits with Harry and Dominic speaks of their days at High School and how Harry managed to save the school football team at the end of school year. Dominic doesn't mention Harry's parents unsolved murder. With Bethany not in the room, Dominic questions Harry's memory of his supposed late wife, Tina? Outside Bethany has earwigged what Dominic has questioned and she feels uneasy with his presence and it makes her pissed off even more.

Hugo and Beagle approach the Wilson House and look out for camera's. They are then made to hide for over by Dominic and Bethany, who get in a silent argument outside and they soon learn of some of Dominic's home truths, along with the hostage situation by Joe Hayes and Ted Somner, not to forget to mention Jeff's murder. Dominic warns Bethany not to cross him. Bethany is worried at being caught off guard under surveillance. Little does she know. Dominic jumps in his car and drives home to the café apartment. Beagle hands Hugo a gun and head into town and hold Dominic in his place, while he uses the necklace on Bethany. He says it's their chance to be famous. Hugo heads to town on foot. Unnoticed on the outside of the Lighthouse, the obscured identity of the Francis Bay Killer, Benita, watches on. Beagle knocks on the Wilson door. The door opens with the camera still on Beagle.

About twenty Minutes after the infiltration of Beagle, the surveillance team of the police and Feds watching CCTV from the Wilsons decide to act.

It's around 11pm, Beagle reaches the harbour of the Bay and looks across to the Café of the Kings. He makes his way across the empty road, when a tall shadowy female figure is stood to his right. It's the shadow of Benita with her machete in hand ready to bump off her next victim. Beagle in panic makes a run for it, but accidently trips into the harbour. The murderer follows his move, as he attempts to swim for his life. He cries out for help, but for a town supposed to be protected by the Government and local police, nothing of his pleas are heard. He reaches a ladder and looks again to his right. Benita on shore is nowhere to be seen and he looks up too nervous to climb, in case she is waiting. A few moments go by and a strange ripple in the water, occurs by him. Suddenly, he is dragged under by a the leather gloved hand of the Francis Bay Killer and drowned.

The next morning CNN report of a strange phenomenon that had affected most of the World's population. They report an unknown TV Station hypnotized Billions at a time they don't recall and wiping several hours, days or months of a certain memory away in which they can't put a finger on what it was. Scientists put this down to an asteroid avoiding the Earth by a few Hundred Thousand Miles, that may have had a similar affect, of the one that struck the Earth in 1901, that started the Meta Human cases.

Metropolitan Medical Hospital, Manhattan, NYC.

Elaina has spent the whole night in the hospital by Abraham's side and learns of the Phenomenon that has rocked the Worlds population. Elaina knows for a fact she didn't watch any TV the night before, when a nurse refers to current events, after waking up standing watching a scrambled TV station in the Hospital hallway.

Francis Bay, Long Island.

The FBI and surveillance have vacated the Bay. The local police also have no memory of previous events. Plus, Rebecca has no memory of the previous day. Like Elaina, Emma did not have the experience of the unexplained hypnotism. Bethany is rather pleased with herself and finds herself in possession of the Cosmos necklace again. How is that the Federal government have closed their case on the strange happening in Francis Bay? And that Bethany has got the Cosmos necklace back in her possession?

Metropolitan Hospital, Manhattan
NYC

Early evening, Emma parks her car up, when she spots Elaina talking on the phone aggressively and reluctantly agrees to another meeting. Elaina tells the caller, she will be an hour. Emma jumps in her car and manages to stay on Elaina's tail the whole duration of the journey. In a secluded district, Elaina enters a derelict house and meets with a well disguised Eric Lance, who hands her a bag. It's quite heavy.
'What's in here?' Elaina asks. 'It's a laptop, with a hard drive that was used for only the Cosmos,' Eric informs.
'How did you find one of these?'
'It wasn't easy, but I had my sources. A certain operative that one worked for the organization, was rather persuasive. Don't worry I didn't kill e'm. I bargained with them. Secondly, you need to get that disk back?'
'And you think Bethany has got it?'
'Now, I wouldn't ask you to risk you ass for that disk, but I think you will act more cautiously than the others that have failed. I'm glad to see you weren't fazed by that so-called Phenomenon.'
'Bethany had something to do with that didn't she?' Elaina figures. 'How?'
'She had to get rid of the surveillance somehow,' Eric explains. 'Memory wipe with the help hand of the 'Moon And The Stars.'
'What's that?' 'Let's just say, it's a souvenir that project Gemini created and reminded the Cosmos of it's power. It's power was graciously manipulated by Bethany, last night by the looks of things.'
'Hypnotism.'
'Right.'
'I'm up for the challenge.'
'It's a big risk Elaina. But, this is important.'
'Just so you know, I'm not doing this for you. I'm doing it for my husband and son. And plus, I owe Harry and Jeff.'
'I understand, but again, you can't tell Emma. The information on that disk is vital to putting Bethany and her sister in jail, if not given the death penalty.'
'If there is such criminal information on that disk, why has Bethany kept it?'
'Because at first, I think Carla was unaware that disk existed until just prior to Jeff Wilsons death. I suspect somebody tried to set her up and failed. It seems Bethany is hoping to find a laptop like the one that she lost and see what secrets are on it...Oh and Elaina, it's important you retrieve that necklace for us to succeed. It's keeping her in a safe haven.'
