CLUB AQUA
*Inside the new Club Aqua, the place is packed. Blue lights are flashing throughout the building, reflecting off of the midnight blue walls, music is blaring, and a bunch of people in costume are dancing. In the corner of the club, Victor, dressed as Elvis, is enjoying the festivities from afar. Ciara, dressed as Wonder Woman, walks over to Victor and joins him. “Wow, who knew that the opening of this place would be so popular?” Ciara asks. “I definitely didn’t! Its actually pretty overwhelming!” Victor notes. “I’d say! Having second thoughts about rebuying this place?” Ciara asks. “None. It was a mistake to sell it in the first place!” Victor notes. “I agree. Acerbi tried to build off of the success that Club Aqua and The Aqua Casino had, but...she just couldn’t do it. This place is a huge piece of Fantastic City history.” Ciara notes. “Definitely.” Victor agrees. Ciara’s eyes drift towards the entrance. “Oh god, here’s trouble.” Ciara says, as she notices Bethany, who is dressed as Harley Quinn, and Clara, who is dressed as a cowgirl, walk in. “What’s she doing here?” Ciara wonders. “Its a public event.” Victor says. “So? You would think since you are the owner of this place, Bethany would know that she isn’t wanted here.” Ciara says. “I’ll be right back.” Victor says, before walking off.

*Bethany and Clara look around. “You’ve got to hand it to Victor, he sure knows how to put a club together. This place looks great.” Clara notes. “It sure does. So, any idea when Lysandros is going to be getting here?” Bethany asks. “He texted me a few minutes ago and said he was on his way. The reason he was late in the first place was because he forgot to buy a costume.” Clara says. “He’s actually dressing up?” Bethany asks. “He didn’t want to, but, I kind of strong armed him into it.” Clara reveals. “Figures. I didn’t think that someone as preppy as Lysandros would get into costume on his own.” Bethany says. “Speaking of preppy, how come you wanted to come to the party with me and not your boyfriend? Did Alexios not want to come?” Clara asks. “No, its not that. He’s actually out of town, helping Andy and Rebecca out with something.” Bethany says. “Oh yeah. Andy said something about going out of town. He mentioned going to Italy.” Clara says. “Yeah, I guess they brought Alexios along because he knows the country well or something like-holy crap!” Bethany says. “What?” Clara asks. “I just noticed that huge rock on your finger, that’s what!” Bethany says. “Well, in case you couldn’t already deduce it, Lysandros gave this to me. We are now engaged.” Clara reveals. “What? When did this happen?” Bethany asks. “Right after V.J and Serena’s non wedding. Lysandros proposed, stating that it was because “life is too short to waste any time” or something along those lines. He actually just bought me the ring a few days ago, because he didn’t have one when he proposed.” Clara reveals. “So, why didn’t you tell me that you were engaged? Apparently, its been a thing for WEEKS!” Bethany notes. “Because, I know how you feel about Lysandros.” Clara says. “Well, he did kinda pull a gun on me last year. But, regardless, I’m happy for you.” Bethany says. “Thank you. So, anything new in your life?” Clara asks. “Yes, actually. I have some exciting news. Lucas Cambino just hired me to be Katie Goo’s co host on that new talk show, Fantastic City Gossip.” Bethany reveals. “He did? But...you don’t have any experience.” Clara notes. “Yeah, I know. Lucas said he didn’t want someone with experience. He just wanted someone who lived in the city.” Bethany says. “So, what about the bakery?” Clara asks. “I’ll still be running it. Its just that I’ll need to take a longer lunch break so that I can run over to the set and film an episode every day.” Bethany says. “I’m happy for you. Anything else new in your life?” Clara asks. Before Bethany can answer, Victor walks over to them. “Good evening, ladies.” Victor says. “Victor.” Clara coldly says. “I just wanted to let the two of you know that I hope you have a good time, and enjoy the new Club Aqua.” Victor says, before walking away. “That was surprisingly civil!” Clara notes. “I know! When he came over to us, I thought for SURE he was going to kick us out!” Bethany says. “Maybe V.J’s death knocked some sense into him.” Clara wonders. Lysandros walks in, dressed as Freddy Kreuger, and walks over to Clara and Bethany. “Sorry I’m late, traffic was abysmal. It looked like everyone was coming here tonight.” Lysandros notes. “Freddy Kreuger, huh? How appropriate.” Bethany notes. “With all due respect, Bethany, I’d like to enjoy this night with my fiancee. Alone.” Lysandros says. “No, that’s not fair! I invited Bethany to come with us, which means she is going to stay with us.” Clara argues. Bethany notices Kaylie nearby. “Um, actually, I see someone that I know. I’m gonna go say hi.” Bethany says. “Okay, that’s fine.” Clara says. “I’ll catch up with you later.” Bethany says, before walking away. “I wasn’t aware she had friends.” Lysandros notes. Clara gives Lysandros a look. “I’m her friend.” Clara points out. “Sorry, I mean other than you.” Lysandros says. “Can you please not be so rude to Bethany? She is my best friend, and I’d like it if the two of you could at least TRY to get along.” Clara says. “That might be difficult, considering our history together.” Lysandros says. “You used her as a hostage when you were trying to get out of the Goo castle.” Clara notes. “That’s debatable.” Lysandros says. “No it isn’t. Both Alexios and Rebecca saw you holding a gun on Bethany. Look, I know that all of that is in your past, but, the point I’m trying to make is that if anyone has reason to be upset, its Bethany. She has every right to be angry with you.” Clara says. “I guess you’re right. Would you like me to go apologize to her?” Lysandros asks. “No, give her some time with her friend.” Clara says. “Okay. In the meantime, I’ll just take the time to enjoy your company, as I always do.” Lysandros says. Clara smiles.

*Bethany walks over to Kaylie, who is dressed as Poison Ivy from Batman. Kaylie notices Bethany’s costume. “Harley Quinn? Seriously?” Kaylie asks. “What’s wrong with Harley Quinn?” Bethany asks. “Nothing, its just kind of ironic.” Kaylie notes. “What is?” Bethany asks. “That I’m dressed as Poison Ivy, and you’re dressed as Harley Quinn. I don’t know if you know this, since last I knew, you weren’t interested in comics, but, Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy have been romantically involved in some of the comics.” Kaylie reveals. “I had no idea...for the record, I wasn’t stalking you or anything. I had no idea you were coming as Poison Ivy, and I didn’t dress like this on purpose.” Bethany notes. “I didn’t think you did. You have made it abundantly clear that you want our relationship to be buried in the past, and I’m going to respect that.” Kaylie says. “Thank you.” Bethany says. Kaylie looks around. “So, where’s your boyfriend?” Kaylie asks. “Alexios is out of town, helping his sister with a case. His sister is the police commissioner.” Bethany reveals. “Wait a minute, Commissioner Rogers is Alexios’ sister? I had no idea. How come they don’t have the same last name?” Kaylie asks. “I don’t know the full story. All I know is that Rebecca and Alexios share the same father, but neither of them grew up with him. Alexios grew up thinking his uncle was his father, and Rebecca grew up thinking that her stepfather was her real father.” Bethany says. “That’s the Stanpatos family for you. Insanely complicated.” Kaylie notes. “What do you mean? Sounds like you know that from experience.” Bethany notes. “Uh, no, no personal experience! Its just that they’ve been in the news a lot.” Kaylie notes. “Yeah, they definitely have. So, what brings you here? Are you on a date?” Bethany asks. “No, actually, I’m flying solo tonight. I’m here cause I saw on the website that they were having a dance competition for the grand opening. I thought it sounded like fun, so, I figured I would enter.” Kaylie says. “That’s right! You use to be in the dance club in high school, right?” Bethany asks. “I was, and according to my teacher, I was the best dancer in the club, not to brag.” Kaylie says. “I’ve been dancing with you before, so I know how good you are.” Bethany says. “What about you? Since Alexios is out of town, are you just here to check out the club?” Kaylie asks. “I came with my friend Clara. She insisted that I get out of the house and come with her and her fiance to the opening.” Bethany says. “Sounds like you are kinda the third wheel.” Kaylie says. “I’m fine with it. As long as I don’t have to look at or talk to her fiance.” Bethany says. “Is he a jerk or something?” Kaylie asks. “That’s one word for it. But, I’m glad I came! At least now, I get to see you on the dance floor again, that’ll be interesting.” Bethany says. “It will be, especially since I haven’t danced in YEARS.” Kaylie notes. “Don’t be nervous. You’re gonna do just fine.” Bethany tells her.

LUCAS' LAKE HOUSE
*Lucas cuts open a box, using a knife. He opens the box, and pulls out the first thing he finds in it, which is a picture of Dylan and Lydia. Lucas turns, and sees Lydia standing in the doorway. “Oh, hi. I was just gonna start unpacking some more of your things for you. I know you’ve been pretty busy, so you haven’t really had the time.” Lucas notes. “Its...its fine, really.” Lydia says. “How are you? You were pretty upset when I last saw you.” Lucas says. “I was. Sabrina’s words...they took me by surprise, to say the least.” Lydia says. “Where were you?” Lucas asks. “I went down to the cemetery, I figured that if anyone could give me clarity, it would be Dylan himself. Visiting his grave...its always comforting. It makes me feel closer to him.” Lydia notes. “I understand that. I do the same thing with Leon’s grave, every once in a while. Did you find what you were looking for?” Lucas asks. Lydia nods. “I don’t think Dylan would have a problem with me and you being together, especially if he saw the good in you that I do. But...I would be lying if I didn’t say that the things Sabrina said didn’t open up some old wounds.” Lydia says. “What wounds?” Lucas asks. “Dylan’s death. I don’t know if I’ll ever truly be able to get over what happened to him.” Lydia notes.

BODY AND SOUL CLINIC, MYSTERY PATIENT'S ROOM
*The mystery patient can be seen trying to break free from the handcuffs restraining him to his bed…

BODY AND SOUL CLINIC, KRISTINA'S ROOM
*Kristina is looking at a magazine. “Kim Kardashian did WHAT? Oh wow.” Kristina says. Kristina turns the page. “Oh great, an article on The Chew. That right there proves this magazine is worthless.” Kristina says. Kristina closes the magazine, and puts it on the end table next to her bed. “Does this place REALLY think that giving me some crappy gossip rag is going to get my mind off of the fact that I still cant talk to my husband?” Kristina wonders. Kristina stares at the door for a moment, and then gets out of bed. “Screw this. If What’s her face won’t let me call Brady, I’ll just have to find a phone and call him myself.” Kristina says. Kristina walks towards the door, and then opens it. She pokes her head out it, making sure that the coast is clear. Once she doesn’t see any doctors or orderlies, Kristina quietly closes the door behind her, and then walks down the hallway…

CLUB AQUA
*Ciara is standing with Victor. “So, you really just went over there and told Bethany and Clara to have a nice time? You didn’t tell them to get out or anything like that?” Ciara asks. “Nothing like that.” Victor says. “Who are you and what have you done to Victor Goo?” Ciara asks. “I’ve evolved, Ciara. I’m not gonna go around picking anymore useless fights. From now on, I am just going to live life, and stop nitpicking every little thing. I am going to be the man that V.J would want me to be.” Victor says. “Aw, that’s really sweet. I guess that helps me understand a little better why you suddenly transformed into a semi decent human being.” Ciara says. Ciara looks over at Lysandros and Clara. “Why do you keep staring at Clara?” Victor asks. “Clara isn’t the one I’m looking at.” Ciara notes, before walking away.

*Lysandros and Clara are sharing a laugh, when Ciara comes over to them. “Hi there. Clara, you look great.” Ciara notes. “Thank you. So don’t you. Wonder Woman, right?” Clara asks. “That’s right. What about you, Lysandros? You dressed as Freddy Kreuger?” Ciara asks. “I’ve always been a big fan of Nightmare on Elm Street. So, I wasn’t about to pass up on the opportunity to dress as my favorite Horror Movie villain.” Lysandros says. “No kidding! Freddy Kreuger is my favorite too!” Ciara notes. “What a coincidence.” Lysandros says. Ciara notices Sabrina at a table nearby. “Oh, excuse me, I see my daughter nearby. I’m gonna go say hello.” Ciara says, before walking off. “I didn’t realize you and Ciara were on friendly terms.” Clara notes. “She came to my house the other day. She and I have reached a truce, for Rebecca’s sake.” Lysandros says. “Oh, good for the two of you! I’m kind of surprised, though. Ciara doesn’t strike me as the type to forgive and forget.” Clara says. “Funnily enough, I was thinking the same thing.” Lysandros says.

*Ciara walks over to Sabrina’s table. Sabrina is dressed up as Daphne, from Scooby Doo. “Hi, Bree.” Ciara says. “Oh, hi Mom.” Sabrina says. “You look nice tonight.” Ciara says. “Thanks, you do, too.” Sabrina says. “Is something bothering you? You seem upset. Whatever it is, you know that you can tell me.” Ciara says. “I ran into Lucas and Lydia today.” Sabrina reveals. “Oh god, what did you say to them?” Ciara asks. “I kinda went off on Lydia for marrying Lucas, saying that she was being disrespectful to Dad.” Sabrina says. “Oh my god.” Ciara says. “I’m sorry! After what happened with Quinn, it killed me to see the woman Dad loved married to Quinn’s accomplice.” Sabrina says. “How bad did it get?” Ciara asks. “Things got pretty heated.” Sabrina says. “You shouldn’t have said anything.” Ciara tells her. “I know! Its just...seeing Lydia being so comfortable with Lucas after he sat by while Quinn was impersonating Dad...it was jarring. I couldn’t just keep my mouth shut, you know me!” Sabrina says. “Yes, I do. You have a temper, just like your father did.” Ciara says. “Don’t sell yourself short, Mom. You aren’t exactly the calmest person, either.” Sabrina notes. “So, what are you going to do about Lydia?” Ciara asks. “Work up the nerve to apologize to her, I guess.” Sabrina says. “Good girl. While you’re doing that, I’m gonna go get another drink. After all, I wouldn’t want to cramp your style.” Ciara says. “Cramp my what?” Sabrina asks. “Its an expression. In other words, I don’t want to scare off all the guys.” Ciara says. “Hold on, what makes you think that I’m even here looking for a guy?” Sabrina asks. “Well, rather than spending the night with me and your grandfather, you’re sitting alone, drinking alone. It doesn’t take a genius to figure out that you are looking for some company, that isn’t your family.” Ciara says. “Good observation skills.” Sabrina says. “I’m a WPA agent, I get paid to observe things. In any case, I’m gonna leave you alone, now.” Ciara says. “You really don’t have to do that.” Sabrina says. “Its fine, Sabrina. The last thing I want is to ruin your night. So, I’ll just go and find a table to sit at, far away from this one. I just hope you have a good night, and if you do meet someone, just remember to be careful. These days, you can’t trust anyone.” Ciara notes. “Believe me, I know. Thanks for the warning.” Sabrina says. Ciara nods. “Have a good time.” Ciara says, before walking off. As Sabrina is stirring her drink, a man walks over to her table. “I hope I’m not overstepping, but you make an excellent Daphne.” The man says. Sabrina smiles. “Thank you for noticing. What are you dressed up as? Businessman?” Sabrina asks, noticing his suit. “No, I’m actually not in costume. I just came here to check this place out. I’m new to town, and I’ve heard so many good things about the great Club Aqua.” The man says. “My grandfather is actually the owner of this place.” Sabrina says. “No kidding. Well, for what its worth, your grandfather has done an excellent job. Um, do you mind if I sit down?” The man asks. “I don’t tend to drink with strangers.” Sabrina says. The man smiles. “How about we change that, then? The name is Zack Samson. I assume you have a name as well.” Zack says. “Sabrina Stanpatos.” Sabrina says. “Very pretty name. Do you permit me to sit with you, now?” Zack asks. “Go ahead.” Sabrina says. Zack smiles, and sits across from Sabrina.

*Bethany and Kaylie are standing together. “I’m pretty sure that the dance competition is starting. I should probably make my way to the dance floor.” Kaylie says. “Break a leg.” Bethany tells her. Kaylie smiles. “Lets hope that doesn’t happen.” Kaylie says. Bethany laughs, as Kaylie makes her way to the dance floor, joining several other people. Ciara walks up onto the stage. “Good evening, everyone, and welcome to the grand reopening of the iconic Club Aqua! Is everyone having a good time?” Ciara asks. Everyone cheers. “That’s what we like to hear! Now, to kick off the grand opening, the owner of this establishment, who also happens to be my father, has decided to hold a dancing competition! Unfortunately, it would appear that all of the slots have been filled, so I don’t think anyone else can actually join in. But, it’ll still be fun to watch, right? Anyway, let me explain the rules. Each dancer will stand on a big square, which contains a bunch of mini squares. During the competition, one of the squares will light up, and you must place your foot on it. But, you need to be quick about it! If your foot doesn’t make contact with the square quick, all of your squares will turn black, which means you lost. Last person left standing wins the competition, and a prize of $500. Do you all understand the rules?” Ciara asks. Everyone yells. “Okay, good. I think I’ve covered everything. So, once the music starts, the competition starts. As for what type of music we’ll be playing, I figured we would go classic and play some disco, what do you all think?” Ciara asks. Everyone cheers. “I thought as much. Okay, LETS GET THIS PARTY STARTED!” Ciara yells. The music starts to play, and the squares begin to light up. Kaylie and the other participants begin to dance, trying to keep up with the lit up squares. Almost right away, one of the contestants is eliminated for missing a square. “Okay, one down! That leaves us with four contestants!” Ciara yells. Bethany watches as Kaylie continues to hit every square, without missing a beat. Another contestant misses a square, and is eliminated. “Oh, I’m sorry! Better luck next time. Three contestants left! Who will win the prize?” Ciara wonders. “Go Kaylie!” Bethany yells. The contestant on a square right next to Kaylie notices how good Kaylie is doing, and attempts to kick the back of her legs. Kaylie jumps over the contestant’s kick, and continues to participate in the competition. However, the attempted sabotage left the contestant distracted when one of the squares lit up, thus, eliminating them! “Two contestants left!” Ciara announces. The other contestant looks at Kaylie. “Good luck keeping up with me. I can do this all day.” The contestant says. “No you cant. You just missed a square.” Kaylie tells them. The contestant looks down, and sees that all their squares are now black! Kaylie smiles. “Better luck next time, I suppose.” Kaylie says. “And the winner of tonight’s dance competition is...Kaylie Simms!” Ciara announces! Kaylie walks over to Bethany. “Impressed?” Kaylie asks. “Wow, you didn’t miss a single beat.” Bethany says. Kaylie smiles, and then walks up onto the stage. Ciara pulls out a check. “Here is your check for $500! Congratulations.” Ciara tells Kaylie, as everyone claps for her.

*Victor is at the bar, mixing drinks. Betty is sitting at the bar, dressed as the wicked witch of the west, from The Wizard of Oz. “I never thought I would see the day where Victor Goo is behind a bar, mixing drinks. Dare I hope that this means you will soon be resigning as District Attorney?” Betty asks. Victor smiles. “I don’t plan on going anywhere, Betty.” Victor notes. “Aw, that’s too bad. I was rather hoping that you would. After all, you make every court case so tedious.” Betty notes. “I’ll take that as a compliment.” Victor says. “Take it however you wish. While you’re doing that, make me another martini.” Betty says. “This will be your third.” Victor notes. “Your point? I don’t drink often, so when I do, I like to go all out and enjoy myself. You do know what it means to enjoy yourself, don’t you?” Betty asks. “Actually, I have been learning to do that, lately. My son’s death put a lot of things into perspective for me.” Victor notes. “I heard about your son. I’m so very sorry, Victor. If its any consolation at all, I heard that V.J was a wonderful man. A hero, to be more precise.” Betty says. “He was, there is no denying that.” Victor says. “Why don’t you join me for a drink. I’m sure you can afford to take a quick break.” Betty says. “It wouldn’t be very professional of me to be drinking on the job.” Victor notes. “You’re the owner, what’s the worst that could happen? You’ll be fired?” Betty asks. Victor and Betty both laugh. “I guess I could have one drink.” Victor says. Victor pours himself a glass of scotch, makes Betty a martini, and then walks around the bar and sits next to Betty. Victor hands Betty her martini. “There you go.” Victor says. “Thank you, kind sir.” Betty thanks him. “So, how is work going?” Victor asks. “Oh, absolutely lovely. I continue to amaze even myself with the way I am able to get even the most guilty of criminals exonerated.” Betty says. “Something to really be proud of.” Victor sarcastically says. “Don’t you get high and mighty with me. Don’t forget that before you were Mr. District Attorney, you were a criminal defense lawyer, just like me.” Betty says. “And I was a good one, too.” Victor notes. “Indeed you were. Its such a shame that you chose to become the District Attorney. Can you imagine what a team composed of you and me would’ve been able to accomplish?” Betty asks. “Well, that wouldn’t necessarily be a team. More like just a duo.” Victor notes. “But you understand what I mean. We would be millionaires if we worked together.” Betty says. “I’m already a millionaire.” Victor reminds her. “Oh, silly me. How could I forget? You’re a very handsome millionaire, at that.” Betty notes. “And you are very drunk.” Victor notes. “I might be drunk, but I’m of enough sound mind to do this.” Betty says. “Do what?” Victor asks. All of a sudden, Betty pulls Victor into a passionate kiss!

BODY AND SOUL CLINIC, HALLWAY
*Kristina sneaks through the hallway, but hears footsteps. She hides in a nearby broom closet, as an orderly walks through. Once the footsteps stop, Kristina comes out of hiding, and cautiously continues down the hallway. As Kristina is walking down the hall, she stops at a door with a sign on it. “Special Patient. Verified Staff Only!” Kristina reads. “Wonder what that’s all about?” Kristina says. Kristina places her ear to the door. “Doesn’t sound like there are any doctors in there. Good. Maybe this special patient can get me some answers.” Kristina says. Kristina reaches for the doorknob…

LUCAS' LAKE HOUSE
*”I know that Dylan’s death hit you pretty hard.” Lucas says. “Of course you do. You were there for me during all of it. You helped me find out that Kadmos was the one who killed Dylan.” Lydia remembers. “Which is why if you want to talk about this with me, you can. Just because Dylan is your former husband, doesn’t mean you cant mention his name around me. Its not going to bother me. In fact, it would due the exact opposite. It would show me that you feel comfortable enough talking about that kind of stuff with me.” Lucas says. “You know I’m comfortable around you!” Lydia says. “Yeah, I do. But, it doesn’t hurt to be reminded, every once in a while.” Lucas says. Lydia sighs. “First of all, I want you to know that no matter what Sabrina said, not once did I consider breaking up with you. I’ve seen first hand how hard you have tried to turn your life around. You left the mob behind you and you bought a legit business that could be proud of. I respect you for that, and I don’t doubt for one second that you feel remorse for what happened with Dylan.” Lydia says. “Good. Again, I really wish I had done things differently. Dylan didn’t deserve what Quinn put him through, and for the record, I’m not upset with Sabrina for the things she said about me. She has every right to hate me for what happened with her father. If I had just said something sooner...well, we probably could’ve avoided a lot of the drama that occurred at the time, including the bomb scare at The Aqua Casino.” Lucas says. “A bomb scare that you put a stop to, don’t forget.” Lydia says. Lucas nods. “We weren’t talking about me, though. We were talking about you, and how what Sabrina said opened up old wounds for you, in regards to Dylan’s death.” Lucas says. “Well, it did. It reminded me how painful Dylan’s death was for me, and it brought a lot of that pain back. I...I had JUST gotten him back, and then in the blink of an eye, he was gone. On Christmas, no less! I just wish that I had had more time with him, that he was around, for just a bit longer.” Lydia says. “Do you feel like you didn’t get closure with him?” Lucas asks. “No, I got closure with him. The last moments we spent together were on my balcony, reminiscing about our life together, and I know that at the time, we only knew each other for a year, but...it felt like a lifetime. I felt like I had loved him my entire life, so to lose him was...it was the hardest thing I’ve ever had to go through. And it isn’t like I had my sister to help me get through that, because at the time, I thought Serena was dead! I was all alone.” Lydia says. “You had me.” Lucas notes. “I didn’t have you, at first. You were just the person I asked to help me find out who killed Dylan. I didn’t consider you a friend or anything like that, just someone with vast connections that could help me find the monster who killed my husband. That...that was a very difficult time in my life.” Lydia notes. “But you got through it. You managed to survive what happened to Dylan, because you are one of the strongest women on this planet. Right after his death, you took charge and you went on a mission to find his killer. That, in my opinion, is remarkable.” Lucas says. “Thank you.” Lydia says. Lucas holds up the picture of Dylan and Lydia. “And, just so you know, I recognize that the time you and Dylan spent together was a very important part in your life.” Lucas says. “He helped save my soul. I owe me getting the help that I needed to Dylan.” Lydia notes. “Which is why I’m not going to ask you to hide your feelings for him.” Lucas says. Lucas places the picture of Dylan and Lydia on top of the fireplace mantle, next to the picture of Lucas and Lydia. “Lucas, you don’t have to do that. This is your home.” Lydia says. “This is your home, too, and I want you to feel comfortable. Its like you said, Dylan was an important part of your life. I’m not going to deny that, and I don’t want you to feel like you have to hide it to protect my feelings. So, if you want to express your love for Dylan, far be it from me to stop you.” Lucas says. Lydia smiles, and wraps her arms around Lucas’ neck. “Thank you for being so wonderful. I just hope you know that you are my future, now.” Lydia says. “I do know that.” Lucas says. Lydia smiles, and kisses Lucas. As Lucas and Lydia are kissing, the camera zooms in on the picture of Dylan and Lydia. The camera zooms in once more, this time specifically on Dylan…

BODY AND SOUL CLINIC, MYSTERY PATIENT'S ROOM
*The door slowly opens, and Kristina walks in. Kristina notices a giant curtain, one that can usually be found in hospitals, concealing a certain part of the room. “What the hell did I walk into?” Kristina wonders. Kristina begins to approach the curtain. “Is someone in there?” Kristina asks. No one responds. Kristina continues to walk towards the curtain. Kristina reaches the curtain, and stares at it for a moment. She then hesitantly places her hand on it. “Okay, here goes nothing.” Kristina says. Kristina pulls the curtain to the side, revealing the mystery patient to her. Kristina gasps. “Oh...my...god.” A stunned Kristina proclaims. Kristina steps back in surprise. The camera shows the patient’s arms, which are restrained to the bed by handcuffs. It begins to pan up. Finally the camera reaches the person’s face, revealing a very familiar face in the process. “Dylan?” Kristina asks, when she realizes the mystery patient looks EXACTLY like Dylan Stanpatos!
