This episode begins fifteen minutes after the previous one ended.
SCENE ONE
(The scene is Cass Winthrop's law office. Lila, Charlie, and Jasmine are seated on sofa. Cass,
Joe, and Josie are looking at the computer.)
JOSIE: That is one of the most disgusting things I've ever seen.
JOE: Why would someone who runs a children's page allow just anybody to post a link?
If you ask me, that is just plain irresponsible.
CASS: Oh, I agree. I can't stand the thought that my little girl saw this garbage.
CHARLIE: Oh, Daddy, I'm not a little girl.
CASS: You are to me.
JOE: Was there any way trace this creep?
LILA: Just the words WHYDEEKAYUU2, all in caps.
JOE: Well, I'll type it in, and see if anything comes up. (Types on keyboard.)
Nothing. Well, we'll just have to keep looking.
JOSIE: "Why dee kay, and then two u's and the number two. I wonder what it means.
JOE: It could be some strange code.
JASMINE: What's a code?
CHARLIE: Something that makes you sneeze a lot.
LILA: Very funny.
CHARLIE: It's actually a secret way of saying or writing things you don't want other
people to understand.
JOE: I remember a book I liked when I was a kid. It was called ALVIN'S SECRET CODE.
CASS: I remember that one. It was part of the ALVIN FERNALD series.
JOSIE: I think I read every book in the series. My favorite was ALVIN FERNALD: MAYOR
FOR A DAY.

CASS: He'd certainly be an improvement over our mayor, but then again, anybody would
be.
(Joe's cell phone rings.)
JOE: Carlino (Pause) Hi, Remy. What's up? (Pause) Thank God. Have you told Dante? (Pause)
I'll see what I can do. (Pause) It might be good for both of them.
FADE OUT
SCENE TWO
(The scene shifts to the offices of CORY-HUTCHINS PUBLISHING. Carl is at the computer, reading.
Rachel walks in.)
RACHEL: I have some very good news. The accusations against Felicia have been
cleared up.
CARL: Really?
RACHEL: The woman who was calling herself Adele du Lac has come forward, and
you'll never guess who she turned out to be.
CARL: Who?
RACHEL: Cecile.
VOICE ON COMPUTER: You've got mail!
CARL: Let's see what this is.. (Points and clicks. We see the heading REAL WIFE.) Well, I'll just
delete this.
RACHEL: Why did you do that?
CARL: Because it was spam.
FADE OUT
SCENE THREE
(The scene shifts to BCUH, twenty minutes later. Joe and Dante approach Bonnie's room.)
JOE: Do you want me to go in with you?
DANTE: (thoughtfully) No, it's okay. I know how to talk to Bonnie. She's my
best friend.
JOE: But you remember what I told you, right?
DANTE: Sure, Daddy. I won't talk about what she can't do.
JOE: All right son. Go on in. (Dante walks into Bonnie's room. Bonnie's mother is still there. Bonnie looks up.)
DANTE: Hi, Mrs. Bennet. Hi, Bonnie.
MRS. BENNET: Hello, Dante. Did your Daddy bring you?
DANTE: Uh huh. He's outside.
MRS. BENNET: I think I'll go talk to him. Will you be all right by yourselves for a
few minutes?
DANTE: Sure we will, won't we, Bonnie?
BONNIE: (sighs) I guess. (Mrs. Bennet leaves the room.)
DANTE: I'm glad you're okay, Bonnie.
BONNIE: I'm not okay. I can't walk.
DANTE: I know. Daddy told me. But we can still play together.
BONNIE: How? How can I play if I'm in a wheelchair?
DANTE: Well, there's wheelchair basketball.
BONNIE: But I'm no good at throwing a basketball. I'm good at running. I mean
I was good at running.
DANTE: I bet there's still lots of things we can do together.
BONNIE: Like what?
DANTE: Like this. (Sings and makes gestures) The itsy bitsy spider (Bonnie joins in; they do
the entire song) See? I told you there were still things we could do together.
BONNIE: But will you still want to play with me when I'm in a wheelchair, and you can
still walk, and run?
DANTE: Of course I will. You're my best friend, remember? I promise I'll play with you every day. I'll be as faithful as... as Horton.
BONNIE: (starting to smile) One hundred percent?
DANTE: One hundred percent.

SCENE FOUR
(The scene shifts to the offices of CORY-HUTCHINS PUBLISHING. Rachel is no longer there.
Carl is on the phone.)
CARL: I mean it, Lydia. Don't you ever pull a stunt like that again. (Pause) No, I will not meet you.
(Pause) That is out of the question (Pause) You wouldn't dare. (Pause) Very well, but only on one
condition. (Pause )If I give you what you want,I expect you to give me what I want.

SCENE FIVE: CLOSING SCENE
TWO HOURS LATER
(The scene shifts to Joe's office at the 2-3. Joe and Josie are inside,
talking.)
JOSIE: I don't know what's worse, the telephone stalker or the creep who's sending porn to children's websites.
JOE: I just want to put a stop to both of them, but protecting children from this garbage comes first.
JOSIE: If we could just figure out what WHYDEEKAYUU2 means.
JOE: Y, D, and K could be somebody's initials, but U U? Why isn't it spelled out like the word YOU, twice?
JOSIE: And what does the number two at the end mean? (thinks) Wait a minute!
JOE: Josie, what is it?
JOSIE: I think I know what WHYDEEKAYUU2 means!
