BAY CITY FOREVER

BAY CITY FOREVER is rated TV-14 for an occasional mild expletive.

NOTE: When I began the custody storyline, I didn't know that Cass would be working on Gwen's custody case on ATWT. However, since BAY CITY FOREVER is several years behind the calendar, that doesn't contradict, and should not be construed as a spoiler for, this story.

EPISODE 60

SCENE ONE

(The scene is Cass Winthrop's law office. Cass is inside with Jamie.)

JAMIE: I got here as soon as I could.

CASS: I know. Jamie, we need to talk about these papers.

JAMIE: What's wrong with them?

CASS (sighs) Absolutely nothing. That's the problem. I went over these papers with a fine-tooth comb, and everything is in order.

JAMIE: So you're telling me that I have to hand Kirkland over to Grant Harrison?

CASS: No. We're going to appeal this. And I just happen to know a judge who isn't buddy-buddy with His Honor.

JAMIE: His soon-to-be ex-Honor, I hope. Too bad I'm no longer a resident of Bay City, because you'd definitely have my vote.

CASS: Thanks, Jamie, but I'll let you in on a secret. I'm not all that anxious to be the next mayor of Bay City.

JAMIE: You're not?

CASS: No. I love my law practice too much. I just want to get Grant Harrison out of City Hall.
FADE OUT

SCENE TWO

The scene shifts to Rachel's room at BCUH. Rachel is alone. Door opens, and Carl walks in.)

CARL: Hello, love.

RACHEL: Carl, we need to talk.

CARL: About?

RACHEL: Did you hear about Lydia?

CARL: Not lately, except from you.

RACHEL: She's dead.

CARL: What?

RACHEL: Dead, deceased, expired, passed away.

CARL: But how?

RACHEL: Car accident.

CARL: This is going to sound horrible of me, but

RACHEL: I know what you're thinking. But at least she is out of our lives now.

CARL: Well, yes.

RACHEL: No, Carl. She isn't.
FADE OUT

SCENE THREE

(The scene shifts to an undisclosed location, and we see the shadow of a man talking on the phone.)

MAN: No, they don't even know I'm in the country. (Pause) I told you I'd take care of it. (Pause) Well, their pictures were no problem. (Pause) I guarantee you, this will make all of them look bad. (Pause) Yeh, I've got that address, too. (Pause) I told you, it won't cost you a cent. (Pause) Let's just say you're not the only one with a grudge.(Lighting changes, and we now see that the man speaking on the phone is Brad.)
FADE OUT

SCENE FOUR

(The scene shifts to the chambers of Judge Tyrone Montgomery. Cass and Tyrone are inside.)

TYRONE: Yes, I think I can get this moved to my courtroom.

CASS: I really appreciate that.

TYRONE: And I'm not just doing it because we used to be partners, and I'm not doing it because I officiated at your wedding.

CASS: I know. And you're not doing it because of your friendship with Kirkland's Aunt Marley, either.

TYRONE: (sighs) I can remember when it was more than just a friendship.

CASS: I know. But, getting back to the matter at hand...

TYRONE: Getting back to the matter at hand, these papers are perfectly legitimate.

CASS: True, but Grant obtained them without a hearing. Jamie Frame never had his day in court. I'd say there's something fishy about that.

TYRONE: Well, Grant is all buddy-buddy with Wilbur O'Malley.

CASS: Tell me, what is your take on Judge O'Malley?

TYRONE: Let's just say that I consider that man neither a colleague, nor a friend.
FADE OUT

SCENE FIVE: CLOSING SCENE

(The scene shifts to Rachel's room at BCUH. Carl is inside with Rachel.)

CARL: What do you mean, she isn't out of our lives? She's dead. She can never bother us again.

RACHEL: "Bother us"?

CARL: Yes. Her role in our lives was... unpleasant.

RACHEL: Just what role did she play in our lives? Tell me the truth. I can handle it. (thinks)Damn it, Carl, tell me the truth this time.

CARL: Rachel, love, I told you. She is... she was my sister.
