EPISODE 22
This episode begins one week after the previous episode ended. It is now the middle of June,
2003.
SCENE ONE
(The scene is Cameron and Amanda's dining room. Cameron, Amanda, and Alli are seated at the table, eating breakfast.)
AMANDA: I hope Mom and Carl work out whatever is wrong between them soon.
CAMERON: You're sure singing a different tune than you sang a few years ago.
ALLI: What are you talking about?
CAMERON: Well, this happened before your mother and I met, but she told me all about it. It seems there was someone named Hadley Prescott
AMANDA: Cameron....
ALLI: Who's Hadley Prescott?
AMANDA: Nobody.
CAMERON: You could say that. (Laughs.)
ALLI: What's so funny?
AMANDA: Nothing. It's not funny.
ALLI: Was Hadley Prescott someone Grandpa Carl was involved with?
AMANDA: I see I'm going to have to tell you the whole story. And I'm not proud of what I did, but at the time I thought I had to protect Mom by getting Carl out of her life.
FADE OUT
SCENE TWO
(The scene shifts to Josie and Gary's dining room. Josie and Gary are just finishing breakfast.)
JOSIE: You still didn't find anything?
GARY: I've been trying to find something for weeks, but it looks like
the Commish is as clean as a whistle.
JOSIE: Then why is he working for Grant?
GARY: Face it, Josie, technically, you work for Grant, too.
JOSIE: Bite your tongue. I work for Joe, not for Grant.
GARY: But Grant is the mayor, and that does make him Joe's boss, and yours, too.
JOSIE: Please! I just ate.
FADE OUT
SCENE THREE
(The scene shifts to an unidentified luncheonette. Grant and Commissioner Walters are having a breakfast meeting.)
GRANT: (Takes piece of buttered toast, bites, chews, swallows.) So, Captain Carlino has been investigated?
WALTERS: Thoroughly. We can initiate the hearing whenever you want to.
GRANT: Well, I'd rather wait until the time is absolutely right.
WALTERS: And when will that be?
GRANT: (smiling) All in good time, Howard. All in good time.
FADE OUT
SCENE FOUR
(The scene shifts to Cameron and Amanda's dining room.)
AMANDA: And that's who Hadley Prescott really was.
ALLI: Mom! You didn't!
AMANDA: I did. I told you I wasn't proud of it.
ALLI: What happened?
AMANDA: Your grandmother found out the truth.
ALLI: I'll bet she was mad.
CAMERON: That's an understatement. From what I've been told, your grandmother was furious.
AMANDA: Was she ever!
CAMERON: But that's all in the past.
AMANDA: (slight smile) Just like Mandy Ashton.
CAMERON and ALLI: Who?
AMANDA: That's another story.
FADE OUT
SCENE FIVE
Several days later
(The scene shifts to the front porch of the Carlino home, late in the afternoon. Joe and Dante are sitting together.)
DANTE: Daddy, you know what happened today?
JOE: What, Dante?
DANTE: Well, me and Bonnie and her Mommy were at the park, and... you know my friend Petey?
JOE: Yes, I know him. Is this about Petey?
DANTE: He and his Daddy were walking in the park, and Petey looked up at his Daddy and said, "I love you, Daddy." And his Daddy said in a real mean voice (Dante makes his voice as deep as he can) "Men don't say "I love you" to other men!"
JOE: He did?
DANTE: Uh huh. (seriously, looking into Joe's face) That's not right, is it, Daddy?
JOE: No, it isn't. I tell your Grandpa that I love him every time I talk to him.
DANTE: Maybe Petey's Daddy doesn't love him. (Joe doesn't say anything) Shouldn't Daddies love their kids?
JOE: Of course they should.
FADE OUT
SCENE SIX: CLOSING SCENE
(The scene shifts to Sofia's bedroom. Sofia is holding an envelope in her hand)
SOFIA: It finally came. Please don't let it be a match. Please, God, don't let it be a match. (opens envelope, removes sheet
of paper, reads contents.) Oh, dear God! How am I going to tell Joey?
