8th February
2003
Francis Bay, Long Island.
Harry begins therapy on his injured arm and leg and seems to be making quick progress. He is also advised to have a brain scan, seeing as Harry's memories are still at a blank, despite, dreams he can't understand.
Bethany notices Emma is a little distant when in conversation. Rebecca suspects that Emma is still worried about Christopher. Rebecca tells Emma that Christopher may never want to be found, unless something bad has happened to him. Emma knows Bethany is behind almost everything that has occurred in the Bay in recent months, but does not voice this to Rebecca.
Meanwhile in Manhattan, Elaina stays vigil at Abrahams side and considers taking on Eric's mission. There is not much time.
Francis Bay, Long Island.
Dominic is in two minds on whether to discard the deceased Joe Hayes evidence, or keep it. It incriminates Bethany and himself. Will Dominic crack or keep quiet for the sake of Deloris? Charlottes disappearance is still a mystery to the Kings, although Dominic suspects Bethany is behind it.
The Worldwide Phenomenon that occurred five days earlier, is still being discussed on talk shows and the news and people have demanded an explanation. World leaders cannot put a finger on what it was. Rebecca says that her mind has gone blank on certain things, following the phenomenon and Bethany tests her and mentions the names of Linda Perry and Clara Barton. Rebecca doesn't have a clue who they are and Rebecca questions Bethany why she asks? Bethany denies any reason. Emma overhears and wonders why Bethany would mention the two in question, who are both deceased?
In the early hours of Sunday Morning, Harry again begins to dream.
Harry again cradling his dying mother in the Summer of '79'
Harry marrying Tina
Harry being stalked by Jill Flanders
The World Trade Center Collapse with Tina inside
Jeff's Buriel in Hex-Ville
Harry's kidnap by Gloria Lang
His final vision is that of a man dressed smartly in an office. 'Relax, you won't remember any of this.'
Harry awakes in a sweat again. Bethany with her back to her husband, starts to realize her husband is dreaming.

Francis Bay, Long Island
Rebecca drives Harry to the hospital for his C.A.T. Scan to make sure there is no long term damage to his brain, leaving Emma alone at home. Emma starts searching the house, to see if the disk is hidden anywhere. She begins to search the basement, and behind the furnace where the disk was originally hidden, but it's not there. Then she searches the attic. Nothing. Emma then decides to make a drastic move and carefully searches through Harry and Bethany's bedroom, without trying to leave evidence to show she's been snooping. The necklace isn't her only priority. The Cosmos necklace that was once Joe Hayes, is required to stop Bethany using it to her advantage. Emma checks the closets, then under the bed. Suddenly, the front door slams and voices are heard. Emma hesitates. Before she can move footsteps are heard coming up the stairs. It's Bethany and Benjamin. Emma stays hidden under the bed, as Bethany and Benjamin enter the bedroom.
'Rebecca clearly doesn't remember anything, about her Vampire Lover, Linda and her Real Mother, Clara," Bethany speaks.
'You certainly do match Aunt Carla's instincts,' Benjamin suggests. 'A Master Planner at work. You've even managed to fool the entire planet.'
'We did. The greatest mother and son team ever. If there is one thing I can thank my sister for, is bringing my handsome boy back into my life.'
Bethany puts her hand around her sons waist, as Emma has just discovered that Bethany and Benjamin are mother and son.
'We can't can't keep doing this,' Benjamin voices.
'What, showing how much we love each other?' Bethany thinks.
'No, risking everything for our future, like...
'Murder?'
'Right.'
'They gave us no choice, ' Bethany whispers.
'Unfortunately for me, Benita doesn't have a choice.'
'As long as our enemies are out there, you're right she doesn't. But, as long as she has our backs, we have hers.'
'Then there won't be any mistakes.'
Benjamin sits on the bed, feeling strained and Bethany sits beside her son and strokes his hair. She sees how down he is.
'You miss him don't you?' Bethany bluntly says
'Who?' Benjamin acknowledges.
'Christopher.'
'Yeah, I do. It was the hardest thing I had to do. I loved him.'
'You'll get over it, you got me.'
'I know that, you never make me forget.'
Bethany then strokes her sons biceps and starts kissing his face, as begins to advance on him. Emma is hearing everything under the bed. There is no escape yet. Bethany then grasps Benjamin's legs.
'Remember on your twenty first birthday, I gave you a special present?' Bethany grins.
'Mom, it's not healthy. It's wrong,' Benjamin reminds his mother.
'I like it wrong.'
The camera pans down to Emma hiding under the bed, trying not to show suspicion, she is hiding. She is sick to the stomach after hearing what is going on and what's being referenced and it appears she will have to endure hearing an incestous act performing above her head (talk about Norman and Norma Bates). Also now Emma is aware that Linda Perry was in a relationship with Rebecca. Emma is yet, confused by Bethany's reference to Clara Barton being Rebecca's mother, as in Emma's mind, Tina was Rebecca's mother.
Long Island Motel
Elaina looks at a photograph of herself, Abraham and Andy together. Elaina checks into the Motel which is just twenty miles away from Francis Bay. It appears she is beginning the mission, that Eric Lance set her out for.
Rebecca arrives home later with Harry to find Emma acting suspiciously and rather nervous, when she attempts to pour a glasses of water and drops it after shaking profusely. Rebecca puts her arm on Emma's shoulder, but she brushes her away and walks out the room. Rebecca is very concerned. Emma feels uncomfortable being within ten feet of Bethany, after discovering her true nature, not just because she is a psychopath, but also having the sort of relationship that she shouldn't with Benjamin. Emma has no proof yet, to show for her discovery. But, it seems she will soon have it out with Rebecca concerning possibly both Linda and Clara. That's if Rebecca remembers Linda and Clara, considering Rebecca was hypnotized, along with millions of other, nights earlier.
Dominic storms the police station and demands to know, why the investigation into Charlottes disappearance has gone sour? It gets to a point where he is being advised not to cross the line or he will be arrested and that they assure him, they will look into the matter.
Deloris tries to come to terms with recent events and she secretly sneaks a bottle of whisky into her coat and gets drunk out, when an unexpected male she hates, comes to her aid, when she falls over...Benjamin.

11th February
2003
Emma awakes next to Rebecca feeling betrayed, as well as confused and angry to discover that Rebecca had a sexual relationship with Linda Perry, who not just had a Vampire ability, but who was also a missing operative from the Cosmos Organization. Emma thought Rebecca was the one she could trust.
Deloris awakes in Benjamin's bed with a hangover, but Benjamin had the sofa. Is Benjamin trying to get back into Deloris good books? Benjamin said he found her spark near the harbour and brought her to his cabin, as he didn't want her father to find her like she was. Deloris reluctantly thanks Benjamin for his gesture and tries to leave quietly, when Bethany spots her on her way out. Deloris assures Bethany it's not what she thinks and Bethany gives her a ride home to the café.
As Benjamin heads out, Elaina is hidden in a corner, watching the house and spots Emma exiting, who suddenly bursts out crying. This grabs Elaina's attention and she immediately suspects something big has occurred.
Dominic is horrified by Deloris state and tells her to get a bath. When Deloris heads into the apartment, Dominic grabs Bethany by the hair and drags her into the alley and accuses her of being responsible for Charlottes disappearance and if and when he finds out that Bethany did anything to her, he will kill her. Dominic heads inside and tries to come to grip with things and takes another trip down memory lane.

Albert Kray is thrown in a prison cell and denied bail. He is furious to learn of a tip off and immediately suspects Hank. Kray knows he cannot mention the Mafia paying him to do crimes, otherwise he may never live to get to court. Albert thinks whoever called the police, witnessed him committing the crime.
Word gets around town of Albert's arrest and everybody is shocked to find that their once trusted local law enforcer would start a career in Grand Theft Auto.
Hank and Jeff come face to face again and Hank accuses Jeff of being the tip off and that he did no such thing. Jeff says if he was going to tip the police off, Hank would be in jail too.
Otto Cole visits Kray in jail and that bail stand at $250,000 and there is no way nobody can come up with that sort of money. Albert whispers that Mrs Robinson is committing sex crimes with students at Hex-Ville High and has blackmailed her to give Bethany a decent graduation. Despite him being incarcerated, he wants Otto to continue in his place and to keep him updated with the Crocetti's and Wilsons.
Billy has a meeting with Johnson Senior and questions him on who pulled the plug on Kray? Johnson insists he doesn't have a clue, but it could be a number of sources. Johnson makes himself scarce and William is then face to face with Romano. Romano decides to make a deal, that could work for many an destroy many. What is Romano up to?
The Hex-Ville Terriers narrowly lose, but in order to have the last laugh, they need to win the last game of the season and Harry cannot see it happening. Tina's words of comfort are some consolation.
Greg feels he's not as close to his twin as he used to be and Johnson Junior asks him if he wants to get drunk? At first Greg tells him to go f**k himself, but after some persuasion, Greg gets off his face again.
Bethany and Billy see each other on the sidewalk, but completely blank one another when they walk on by.
Harry and Hank come face to face again.
'Oh look, the asshole that stole my girl,' Hank groans.
'I didn't steal Tina away from you, she walked away,' Harry reminds him.
'Now, I known why.'
'Why, can't you move on Hank?'
'Because I wanna know why, Billy Mcquire can give you the time of day, considering his feud with your father and his dislike of your brother?'
'Just as well, Jeff has decided to do an honest living,' Harry replies. 'Have you considered it?'
'It's kind of hard, when you're caught between the law and the Mafia,' Hank adds. 'Jeff is lucky, he got out when he could.'
'Oh dear, you are in a pickle aren't you?'
'Say, uh, you wouldn't happen to know who pulled the squeeze on Albert Kray would you?'
'I've got more important things in my life, than to worry about Krays Disloyalty to Hex-Ville. Like being in a serious relationship.'
Hank shakes his head sarcastically laughing, taking the hint.
'You couldn't just wait to rub that in could you Wilson?' Hank seethes. 'I loved her.'
'Well, I guess that will teach you a lesson for trying to kill me in the School shower room, a few weeks ago,' Harry counters.
'If I was going to kill you, angel boy, I would have done a better job. I still may get my revenge yet.'
'Not surprising you would threaten me.'
'Threats is not my style Harry, I stick to my word, Harry...Tell Tina I said hello.
Greg asks Tina if she'd like to go up and watch a movie? Tina declines his offer as she and Harry are doing homework together. Greg tells her they can do homework together. Tina says she wants personal time with Harry also. Feeling rejected, Greg goes to see Johnson Jr.

The car drives towards Laurens front room, with it's glaring headlights and it's demonic honk. Lauren screams, as the car crashes through her home and brings the roof down on her killing her. The car speeds off in to the distance).
Bethany looks at a newspaper headline 'LOCAL OFFICER ARRESTED FOR GTA CONSPIRACY.' Bethany smirks.

2003
Francis Bay, Long Island.
Bethany has in her possession an article based on Albert Kray's release and suspects that he had gone under a different name and is protected by powerful people and is in hiding across the globe somewhere. She has waited twenty four years for revenge. Benjamin tells her, he will get what is coming to him and that his death won't be in peace.
Elaina then surprises the Wilsons, that evening and they wonder why she has come all this way, considering Abraham is in a coma? Elaina lies and says that she needed a change of scenery and that Abraham wouldn't want her to skulk around and she also asks if it is possible to see Harry? Emma suspects Elaina is up to something. Unbeknown to the residents, Elaina has a hidden camera in her bag, scanning the house.
On her way back to the Motel, Elaina is spotted by Dominic King and asks her if she'd like a coffee? Elaina accepts and uses it to her advantage to scour the Kings apartment and café with her secret camera.

12th February
2003
Wilson Residence, Francis Bay, Long Island.
It's 2:17 a.m., in the morning, the front door is unlocked and the jar holder, is unhooked. Elaina enters the house and she places a flower inside a vase, a camera attached, now facing vertical up. She has an earpiece, in which it appears she is talking to someone. From a secret location, Eric Lance watches the surveillance of the Wilson Staircase and speaks to Elaina and warns her, that it only takes one slip up and game over. Elaina uses the previous camera's captures and installs cameras inside places, where they will unlikely be discovered. She also conceals one in the basement. It's a chance to incriminate Bethany once and for all. It's took a nerve racking forty minutes and Elaina manages to leave the downstairs unscathed. Elaina discards Bethany's keys in the kitchen and takes the flower camera with her before she leaves. Elaina sneaks half a mile to her car, but from the bedroom window, Emma watches her escape.
At the Motel, Elaina continues to talk to Eric via a computer, that used to be Cosmos technology. Eric tells her not to worry about Dominic King and that Bethany under his observation will be enough at the moment.
By Dawn, Bethany spots the front door keys on the kitchen table and seems so sure she never left them there. Elaina suspects Elaina did something in the house and thinks it has something to do with a mission involving exposing Bethany. Emma asks Rebecca if she'd like to go for a drive, just the two of them? Rebecca accepts.
Upstairs a still recovering, yet still amnesic Harry is dreaming.

From his P.O.V. a Psychiatrist assures him, he will make the pain go away.
Harry awakes again feeling uncomfortable. Harry calls down and asks Bethany if she can fetch him a glass of water? Bethany calls she will, as Eric spies on her from over 200 miles away. An unknown person, enters the room and Eric spins round.
'Are you ready for to take your front seat?' Eric asks the unknown person.
Emma and Rebecca take a stroll on the beach, south of Francis Bay. Rebecca attempts to hold Emma's hand, but she brushes it off. Rebecca begins to sense something is wrong. Emma looks out to sea.
'Do you love me Rebecca?' Emma surprisingly asks.
'Of course I do, what brought this on?' Rebecca frowns.
' Lot's of things I is where she died, wasn't it?' Emma bluntly speaks.
'Who?' Rebecca frowns.
'Your girlfriend.'
'I've only had one girlfriend, that's you.'
'Are you sure? If you want I can refresh your memory for you, seeing as Bethany wiped it out, with a necklace that everyone is looking for.'
'Necklace?'
Emma takes out a picture of Linda Perry from an article and shows it to Rebecca. Rebecca begins to get drawn into the picture.
'Now do you recognize your so called lover, that caused a bloodshed in this once peaceful community?' Emma raises her voice, with tears filling her eyes. Rebecca takes time to review the article and photo. Suddenly, all her memories come flashing before her eyes.

Rebecca remembers everything and feels ashamed. And Emma's heart is broken... totally.
'Truth hurts doesn't it?...Abigail,' Emma reminds Rebecca. Rebecca is brought to tears also.
'Look, Emma I don't know where you're getting your information from, but it's all lies,' Rebecca denies.
'Lies? You say it, like you really want to believe it yourself, but the truth is, you never really wanted us back together,' Emma figures.
'I never really knew Linda Perry.'
Emma slaps Rebecca across the face and is very much infuriated.
'Don't lie to me!' Emma rages. 'Were you in love with a serial killer, with a Vampire ability?'
Rebecca takes a moment from feeling the sting of Emma's wrath. Rebecca's guilt is clear, she can't deny anything any more.
'Yes, Linda Perry and I were in love,' Rebecca admits.
'How could you have the conscious to keep this a secret and get away with it?'
'It's not like that.'
'So you were eventually going to tell me in the near future, that it was just something that happened, spur of the moment?'
'We had a connection?'
'What a sexual connection or a killer connection?'
'She couldn't help her actions. It was involuntary.'
'Concealing the corpses of her victims, wasn't though was it, Abigail?' Emma hints.
'Why do you keep calling me that?'
'I think you know.'
'I don't know what to say,' Rebecca cries.
'Just say, that you been making a fool of me since the day we met. Remember, you walked up to me and blatantly told me you were Harry and Tina's daughter. When all the time, you've been, well I could say everything, but the truth. Just who the hell are you?'
'I don't know anymore.'
'I should have seen that one too, I thought there was more to Clara's determination to see you. That adopted Aunt thing, was just a cover up, because she was your real mother. She died, because...'
'Yeah say it. Say, that I didn't want her in my life. When I held her in my arms and she was dead, it was the worst moment in my life.' 'That's why you tried to kill yourself on New Years Eve, because you couldn't take anymore.'
'I'm not a bad person Emma,' Rebecca claims.
'I beg to differ, based on the two secrets you've been keeping, not just from me, but from the one person, who you've made love you unconditionally, Harry.' 'Why Rebecca just why?' Emma sighs with anxiety.
'It's all complicated.'
'I'll say. Complicated enough to sleep with your stepmother too. I feel like a f****** fool. I pushed my husband into the arms of another man, for us. And now, he's vanished off the face of the Earth, without a trace. And in the end, all my sacrifices were worth absolute Bullshit. I thought, we could be open with each other, be honest and totally committed, but I think you're just trying to force yourself to love me, because your true love is dead. You love me Rebecca, but you're not in love with me. You're just using that excuse, because Linda Perry is gone. You protected her enough, to be in love and I was just your consolation comfort.'
'Is this going where I think it's going?'
'Yeah it is. I'm sorry Rebecca...it's over between us. I can't feign being happy with you, with the dark history you've packaged. You've lost me Rebecca. The only consolation you'll have is your freedom.'
'I don't care about that, I care about you.'
'Then let me go.'
Rebecca bursts into tears, Emma also.
'I'm so sorry.'
Emma puts her arms around Rebecca for a few moments and tightly hugs her.
'I don't hate you Rebecca, it's just I can't see you anymore,' Emma gulps.
Emma then slowly walks away and Rebecca calls out to her.
'Emma please.'
'Be careful of Bethany,' Emma warns. 'As much as I want to believe you love Harry, she's dangerous. Tread carefully.' Emma slowly paces herself away from Rebecca, who drops to her knees into the sand in tatters.
Emma returns home alone. Harry is out of bed and sat on the swing with Bethany. The two notice Emma has returned home alone without Rebecca and Bethany goes check on her, leaving Harry still trying to get to grips with recent events. Bethany asks Emma, what is going on? Emma hesitates for a moment, feeling uncomfortable by Bethany's presences and informs her that herself and Rebecca are not working out and that it's best she move back to Manhattan. Bethany asks her why? Emma assures her, it's not her concern and leaves the house after packing. Emma jumps in her car and drives off out of Francis Bay, not before passing Rebecca on the way. Harry shows his concern for Rebecca and comforts her. Looking over Harry's shoulder, Rebecca stares at Bethany.
Deloris goes and sees Benjamin at the Harbour and thanks him for looking after her, when she was a mess. Benjamin acts Mr Nice guy and suggests that even though, he was cruel for what he did at the Palace Hotel, that they can find some common ground and if Deloris needs to talk he's there for her. Deloris thanks him and heads back to the café. Benjamin turns to face the Atlantic and smirks to himself.
New York Times, Manhattan, NYC.
Elaina stares out of her office window, at the New York City Skyline, with the hope Abraham will pull through her Coma. It will be double success, if her mission for Eric Lance pays off, in trapping Bethany and eventually Dominic.
Francis Bay, Long Island.
Bethany asks why it didn't work out between her and Emma? Rebecca hesitates and Rebecca told Emma she didn't love her anymore. Rebecca takes in Emma's word from earlier and somehow, Emma has seen Bethany as dangerous, but Rebecca keeps this to herself. Bethany reminds Rebecca, she is always there for her. Bethany closes the bedroom door and Rebecca breaks down.
