Scene One: Outside of the Carraway Mansion in Lynn. We pick up here from yesterday. Erica glares at a couple, her former assistant, Amber Eagan and Mitchell Carraway indulging in a romantic clinch. She is joined by a former enemy, Joliette Manning.

ERICA: The information you gave me, Joliette, checks out. Sounds like YOU have a grudge against the Carraways.
JOLIETTE: Yes, I do. Mitch's father, Bruce, tried to swindle my father out of a land deal that he wanted to do.
ERICA: And he tried to do the same thing to Dylan, when he was working on a Harper Industries land deal in New Jersey.
JOLIETTE: My dad tells me to tell you that things are fine now between you two.
ERICA: Tell him thank you. Now, it's time for action.
JOLIETTE: I will be here if you need me.
ERICA: You're sweet to think that, but no. You go on ahead and meet Vanessa, I can always call a cab.
(Joliette waves and drives off. Cut to the patio where Amber and Mitch are in a clinch)
AMBER: No need to worry, Mitchie. Erica is so stupid, she doesn't know she's being played.
ERICA: Well, traitor, I am sure you can enlighten me on that one.
(Amber gasps.)
AMBER: Boss! I-----I-----Uh.
ERICA: Pray tell me how stupid you think I really am?!
(Amber is speechless)
MITCH: It's not what it looks like.
ERICA (disgusted): When I want to hear from you, I will hear from you, until then, shut up!
AMBER: You DON'T tell my boyfriend to shut up!
(Erica slaps Amber across the face)
ERICA: You're fired! And as for YOU, (she whirls on Mitch) you made one HELL of a mistake!
AMBER: How did we make a mistake?!
ERICA: You made a mistake messing with my nephew and with ME! Now you BOTH will pay for your treachery!

(Amber and Mitch are shaking in their shoes)

Scene Two: Boston Public Gardens. Vivienne VanCortlandt and Mike Whitfield are walking in the gardens and enjoying the beautiful flowers.

VIVIENNE: I am so glad you are here in town now, Mike.
MIKE: So am I, Viv. It's been too long.
VIVIENNE: There is one thing that is bothering me, though.
MIKE: What's that?
VIVIENNE: I want to know, what caused you to leave Gordon Bay?
MIKE: When the offer for Chief of Psychiatric services here in Boston came up, I had to take it.
VIVIENNE: Perhaps, but I wonder. Is there something else that caused you to leave town?
MIKE: I don't know if there was, Viv.
VIVIENNE: All right, Mike, we'll leave it at that. I am glad you are here. It does Eric a world of good.
MIKE: I wish I could tell you more, but I can't.
VIVIENNE: Don't worry. If you don't have any more, then you don't have to tell me about it.
MIKE: I have to get back to work, but I will see you later.
VIVIENNE: Stop by the mansion for dinner, if you have time.
MIKE: Sure, thanks, Viv.
VIVIENNE: See you.

(Vivienne is sure something is up. But she pushes that suspicion aside and goes to her car)

Scene Three: The Harper Condo. Dylan and Alex are working on some Harper Industries business, Shawn and Audra are also working on business.

ALEX: I was looking over this old land deal, I wonder why Michelle stopped the deal.
DYLAN: Because the Carraway family, who we were working on it with, tried to do me dirty.
ALEX: Oh boy, and knowing how Erica is protective of you.
DYLAN: Yeah, Mitch is a sitting duck!
(Enter Shawn and Audra)
SHAWN: Not to mention what I have heard about her assistant Amber.
AUDRA: She will be in DEEP six now.
DYLAN: What is going on, guys?
SHAWN: Amber Eagan is now being seen with Mitchell Carraway!
(Dylan and Alex exchange glances)
ALEX: Wow, Amber knows how to muck things up on her own, doesn't she?
DYLAN: You know, guys, I wouldn't give Mitch's life a plug nickel right now.
ALEX: Why do you say that, honey?
DYLAN: Because they made enemies of the wrong Harper.
ALEX: Amber especially, right?
DYLAN: Yeah, she will be finished when Aunt Erica gets through with her.
AUDRA: I pity Amber, especially after Aunt Erica decimates her.
DYLAN: Yeah, decimation will be the LEAST of her worries.

(The four sit and get ready for dinner)

Scene Four: The Carraway mansion. Erica is still confronting the two.

ERICA: Did you two think you could get away with it forever? You two have no shame, not to mention being too brazen!
MITCH: You can't prove it!
ERICA: Oh, believe me, you two! I have MORE than enough proof that you lot tried to swindle Harper Industries, not to mention MANNING Industries!
(Mitch blanches at the mention of Manning Industries!)
MITCH: How did you know about what I did at Manning?
ERICA: A bit of inside information! And someone you once tried to seduce!
MITCH: You mean Taylor Manning?
AMBER: You can't be SERIOUS!
ERICA: No, you two. Mitch didn't try to seduce Taylor. Some time back, he was in Hope Valley, New York, and he tried to seduce Taylor's niece, Joliette!
AMBER (hitting Mitch): You seduced JOLIETTE MANNING?! You seduced that little nothing?!
ERICA: Oh, look at the two lovebirds! You two aren't so lovey-dovey now, are ya?!
MITCH: Erica, you will NOT get away with this!
ERICA: You have it wrong, Mitch. YOU won't get away with what you pulled against Dylan and my family! Not to mention Joliette and her family!
AMBER: I will deal with you later, Mitch! Right now, (whirling on Erica) I am going to demolish you, bitch!
ERICA: Not on your life!

(Erica ducks a swing from Amber, and with one punch, she drops Amber with a shot to the jaw!)

Scene Five: Amy and Astrid's apartment.

ASTRID: It was a shock indeed. Something I would have NEVER expected from Michael.
AMY: Elopement?! Sounds very romantic!
ASTRID: It was. There will be a more formal ceremony later on at the mansion.
AMY: A formal wedding for Michael and Wendy, very nice.
ASTRID: Nothing big. A family thing mainly.
AMY: Are you going?
ASTRID: Probably. And I want you to come with me.
AMY: I'd be glad to.

(The two friends smile)

(Voice of Pauley Perrette: "Harpers Falls: A New Beginning will continue in a moment, here on ONtv.")

Scene Six: The Carraway Mansion.

MITCH: What did you DO to her?!
ERICA: You want to find out?
MITCH: What have you got against me?!
ERICA: You did my nephew dirty! You lied to him, deceived him, and tried to shut him out of that land deal. A land deal HE worked on.
MITCH: What I did or not is NONE of your business!
ERICA: Dylan Harper is MY nephew, thereby that MAKES it my business! I am sure YOUR father would NOT be too pleased to find out that it was YOU, his golden boy, who scuttled a land deal because he was JEALOUS of Dylan's business acumen!
MITCH: You listen to me, bitch! I did NO such thing!
ERICA: I have the papers! I have the documents that Dylan had given to me! You recant what you did, and I will not tell your father what you did. You don't, then I will go to your father with EVERYTHING!
MITCH: How dare you try to blackmail me?!
ERICA: Because you tried to demolish my family! Sounds like you are being stubborn, so I will just go and tell your father everything that you did.
MITCH: All right! I will return the credit, and explain to my father about what I had done.
ERICA: Fine. Now, pick up that trash you call a girlfriend, and I will leave.
MITCH: You will not get away with what you did, Erica.
ERICA: On the contrary, Mitchell Carraway, you found out that it's not wise to mess with Erica Harper.

(Erica walks off triumphantly; Amber slowly comes to; while Mitch goes in and returns the New Jersey land to Harper Industries and gets berated by his father about his unethical practices!)

Scene Seven: Harper Industries headquarters, the next day. Michelle, Sydney and Erica are talking in Michelle's office.

ERICA: I found out what had happened.
MICHELLE: I am glad you did, Sis. I can't believe that Mitch would do that to Dylan, especially.
SYDNEY: What will happen now?
ERICA: I talked with Mr. Carraway, and he told Mitch where to go. They have returned the land deal to us, and we can go ahead with what we had planned.
SYDNEY: I thank you, Erica.
MICHELLE: Yeah, I do too. Maybe blackmail wouldn't have been the best route, but in this case, I can't argue with success.
SYDNEY: It did work, and it got Mitch Carraway neutralized. That is more than enough for me.
ERICA: But I fear, my former assistant is mighty angry with me, specifically; and maybe at the family. Beware. She could do something harsh.
SYDNEY: No worries, Erica. We will all deal with Amber Eagan.

(Erica smiles. She feels good to be back in the family, and she exults at the destruction of Amber)

Scene Eight: The Carraway Mansion

AMBER: Damn her! You let her BLACKMAIL you to get that damned land back!
MITCH: What could I do? She had proof! She HAD solid evidence that you were stealing from her!
AMBER: Please! Erica Harper is one of the stupidest women in the world!
MITCH: You don't get to be as powerful as Erica Harper by being STUPID!
AMBER: She's lying! She's ALWAYS lying!
MITCH: NO! This time she is telling the truth! I DID backstab her nephew! And you manipulated the situation to your own advantage!
AMBER: You can't believe Erica Harper!
MITCH: Not only do I believe her; I am going to go to apologize to Dylan! Dylan was one of my closest friends until I did this to him. I only pray that he forgives me!
AMBER: What about US?!
MITCH: What about us?! There never WAS an us, was there, Amber?
AMBER: You mean?!
MITCH: Get off this property!
AMBER: Fine, I will. You and Erica will pay for this!
MITCH: The Harper money and the Carraway money will be DENIED you!

(Amber storms off from the mansion!)

Scene Nine: Dylan and Alex's condo.

SHAWN: There's someone at the door.
DYLAN: Show them in.
(Enter: Mitch Carraway)
ALEX: What are YOU Doing here?
DYLAN: That is what I like to know!
MITCH: You're angry with me, and I don't blame you there.
DYLAN: You're right I am angry.
MITCH: Did you get a call from your aunts?
DYLAN (his anger dissipating): Not yet.
MITCH: I returned the land to your company.
(Dylan's phone rings. It's Michelle.)
ALEX: You better hope that you're not lying to us.
SHAWN: Yeah!
(Dylan hangs up. A smile on his face)
DYLAN: Mitch wasn't lying. The land is in Harper hands again!

(Shawn, Alex and Audra welcome Mitch to the fold)

Scene Ten: A motel room in Ipswitch. Amber Eagan is furious!

AMBER: You ruined my life, Mitch Carraway, and when I am through with you, then Erica Harper will see the real wrath of Amber Eagan! You two made my life hell, Mitch, you threw me over; and Erica, you treated me as a mere flunky! You two will be surprised at the power I wield.

(Amber pulls some papers out, it shows her family business, Eagan Industries. Amber is VERY wealthy, and the wealthy widow of old Ebenezer Eagan. She was the much younger wife of the man who left her his entire fortune! She smiles evilly.)

(Voice of Heather Tom: "Next week on Harpers Falls...")

AMBER (to Erica): Now, who is wearing the pants here?

MICHELLE (to Amber): You threaten me, or my family, and you will be the one destroyed, wealth or NO wealth!

(The wedding march plays as Wendy walks down the aisle)
