Fantastic S5 Episode 31(12/4/23)

At the boutique, Kristina is sitting down drawing a new dress design when she hears the front door open. “We aren’t open yet.” Kristina calls out. “I’m not here to shop.” A voice says. Kristina looks up and sees Dylan standing by the door. “What are you doing here?” Kristina wonders. “I came to see you. I’ve missed you.” Dylan says. “Well I haven’t missed you.” Kristina says, as she continues working on her drawing. “Ouch, that stings.” Dylan says. “So didn’t you wrecking Lucas’ life.” Kristina says. “Oh come on, I think that might be a bit harsh.” Dylan says. Kristina puts down the drawing and stands up. “Seriously? Lucas didn’t just lose his job, he lost one of the last links he had to Lydia! He feels like he let her down because he lost control of the company!” Kristina says. “It was just business. I’m sure if anyone would understand that, it’d be Lydia.” Dylan says. “So you mean to tell me that a part of you didn’t feel any satisfaction by screwing Lucas over?” Kristina asks. “Of course I enjoyed it a little bit! Lets not forget that Lydia cheated on me with Lucas, therefore I think I have the right to enjoy his suffering a little. But look, I didn’t come here to discuss Lucas, I wanted to talk to you.” Dylan says. “Unless its work related, there is nothing more to say between you and me.” Kristina says. “Actually, it is work related.” Dylan says. “Did you come to fire me? Don’t bother. I already planned on quitting once I find another job.” Kristina says. “Why would I fire you? I know how much you love running the boutique.” Dylan says. “Not if it means I have to keep working for you.” Kristina says. “If that’s the case, I think you’ll appreciate why I came to see you.” Dylan says. Dylan reaches into his coat pocket and pulls out an envelope, which he hands to Kristina. “What’s this?” Kristina asks. “Open it.” Dylan urges. Kristina opens the envelope and her eyes widen. “This is a document transferring the ownership of the boutique from Stanpatos Enterprises over to me! Why would you do this? You’re always telling me how profitable the boutique is, why would you want to give it up?” Kristina wonders. “Because you love working here and I don’t want you to lose that just because you don’t want to work with me anymore. The boutique is all yours. The building, the brand, all of it.” Dylan says. “I…I don’t know what to say.” Kristina says. “You don’t have to say anything. You deserve this, Kristina.” Dylan says. Kristina smiles. “Thank you. I…I really appreciate this.” Kristina tells him.

Bethany and Kaylie approach the front door of their condo. “I can’t believe I’m finally home! It feels like its been forever.” Kaylie says. “Tell me about it. I’ve really missed having you here.” Bethany says. Kaylie smiles. “Well don’t worry, I don’t plan on going anywhere again anytime soon.” Kaylie says. “I’m gonna hold you to that.” Bethany says. Bethany opens the door and she and Kaylie walk in. “Is Dannie home? Or did they go to work already?” Kaylie asks. “Uh…Dannie isn’t here.” Bethany says. “Did they go to work?” Kaylie wonders. “I mean, probably, but that’s not the reason they aren’t here. They…they don’t live here anymore.” Bethany reveals. “They moved out? How come?” Kaylie questions. “Because I threw them out.” Bethany admits. “What?!” Kaylie asks. “I know, you’re probably pissed.” Bethany says. “I’m confused! I thought you were fine with letting Dannie stay here!” Kaylie says. “That was before Dannie being here almost got you killed!” Bethany argues. “That wasn’t their fault!” Kaylie says. “No? Meow Cat came here looking for Dannie! You showed up and saved them which led to you getting injected by that drug, which almost led to you dying!” Bethany says. "I got attacked because I was in the wrong place at the wrong time, Dannie got attacked because they were the target! Throwing them out onto the streets has made it even easier for Meow Cat to get to them!" Kaylie points out. "Its not like Dannie is wandering around town with no place to stay, they've got the Goo castle!" Bethany notes. "Meow Cat had no trouble getting to Dannie there before." Kaylie recalls. "Yeah, well even with our security system, he didn't have much trouble getting to them here either! The only difference is, here Dannie was endangering us along with themselves." Bethany says. "I can't believe you did this! Dannie was probably going through enough as it is after being attacked, and then on top of that you go and throw them out? What is the matter with you?!" Kaylie asks. "Me?! I'm protecting my family, you, me, and Issac, something you couldn't be bothered to do!" Bethany blurts out!

Out at sea, Lydia is still in the small boat she stole as rain pours down on her and thunder can be heard rumbling. “Out of all the times for there to be a bad storm, it just had to be when I’m trying to get home to Fantastic City!” Lydia says. Lydia looks behind her. “Hopefully I’m far enough away from Stanpatos Isle where Mia and Andropov won’t be able to track me down. Its been a few days I think, so I must be in the clear. Of course, surviving this storm is a different story.” Lydia says. Lydia sighs. “I shouldn’t be here. I should be at home with Lucas, celebrating our wedding anniversary. Even though the marriage turned out to be invalid, it was still a really special day to me…one I’ll never forget.” Lydia says, before flashing back.

“Words cant really describe how I feel about Lydia. A year ago, when you showed up at my doorstep, asking for my help, I never would have imagined what would come after. You have added so much light to my life, and its because of you that I have inspired to become a better man." Lucas says.

CAMERA FADES

*"When I first came to you, I was lost. I had just lost Dylan, who was the love of my life, and all I wanted to do was find out who took him from me. But what started as a unlikely partnership between two people who could barely stand each other, turned into a life long friendship. You mentioned in your vows that I added light to your life, well, you ARE the light of my life. It was thanks to you that I was able to move past my grief and resume my life, and I don't think I will ever be able to repay you for that. I look forward to all of the years you and I are going to spend together. I look forward to all of the fun times, all of the family gatherings, all of the rough patches, everything." Lydia says.

“Our story isn’t done yet, Lucas. I am going to find my way home to you and nothing is going to stand in my way.” Lydia says.

Dylan and Kristina are still in the boutique. “So, I assume you are sticking to your guns about not wanting to mend fences with me.” Dylan says. “I assume you’re sticking with your guns about keeping control over Masters Corp.” Kristina says. “Yeah…I’m sorry I hurt you. Since coming back from the dead, you’re one of the few friends I’ve actually made, and…I’m really going to miss that.” Dylan says. “For what it's worth, I am grateful to you for the support you gave me. After I lost my baby and Brady and I broke up, it felt like you were the only person I could rely on for comfort. You gave me a place to stay, a shoulder to cry on, I’m not going to forget that.” Kristina says. “But it's also not a reason to forgive me, right?” Dylan asks. “Your kindness doesn’t give you a free pass for your deviousness. Just so you know, I do think that you’re a decent human being, you just need to learn to fight back against the devil on your shoulder.” Kristina says. “You mean Lawrence.” Dylan assumes. Kristina shrugs. “Your words, not mine.” Kristina says. “Don’t worry, my eyes are wide open where he is concerned.” Dylan assures her. “I hope you’re right, I don’t want you getting hurt.” Kristina says. “I appreciate that.” Dylan says. “Well you should probably get going. I’ve got some work to do.” Kristina says. “You do, especially now that you own the whole place. Well…good luck, Kristina, with everything.” Dylan says. “You too.” Kristina says. Dylan smiles at her before walking out. Once Dylan is gone, a tear rolls down Kristina’s face.

“Did you just accuse me of endangering my son’s life?!” Kaylie questions. “I’m sorry, I don’t know where that came from.” Bethany says. “But you meant it.” Kaylie argues. “No, not like that! I know you're not intentionally endangering Issac’s life!” Bethany says. “Instead I’m just being an idiot and doing it unintentionally, right?” Kaylie asks. “You’re putting words in my mouth!” Bethany argues. “I’m just going off of what you yourself just said! Do you really think I’d ever let anything happen to Issac? No! Not after what happened with Xavier, and then after what happened with Kitty Cat! Not ever again! I can’t even believe I have to clarify that with you, I thought you would’ve known me better than that!” Kaylie says. “Okay, I think maybe we should take a step back. This escalated, like, REALLY fast…” Bethany says. “Yeah, you take a step back and think about what you just said to me. In the meantime, I won’t be here.” Kaylie says, as she grabs her purse. “Wait, where are you going?” Bethany asks. “I’m going to my Mom’s, I think I should probably stay with her tonight.” Kaylie says. “You’re walking out on me?!” Bethany asks. “You should be happy since I was apparently endangering your life, you said so yourself!” Kaylie says. “Kay, I’m sorry! I didn’t mean for it to come off sounding like that!” Bethany says. “Well that’s what you said, there’s no walking it back now.” Kaylie says. “So that’s it then? We’re done?” Bethany asks. “I didn’t say that!” Kaylie says. “You’re going to sleep somewhere else! What else could that mean?” Bethany asks. “It means I need some space! We’ll talk later.” Kaylie says, before storming out, leaving a distraught Bethany behind.

Out at sea, Lydia is holding on to the boat as the storm worsens. “The waters are getting really nasty out here, I really need to find land soon or else I may be done for.” Lydia mutters. Lightning strikes and brightens the sky, causing Lydia to jump. “Who am I kidding? There’s no way I’m going to be able to make it back to land! What am I going to do?” Lydia wonders. Suddenly, a giant wave forms and devours Lydia and her boat! As Lydia screams, the scream is soon drowned out by the water…
