Scene: The Harper Mansion. The large airy ballroom is the scene of the wedding reception for Michael and Wendy Harper. Everyone is having a sensational time. DYLAN: What a party! ALEX: It still amazes me how your family can throw a party. DYLAN: Alex, don't you think this is your family too? ALEX: I know, honey. You know me. DYLAN: How Aunt Maureen could get Grandfather here from Toronto to have Wendy....er Mom, come up to give her away, that is so generous of her. ALEX: You called Wendy, Mom? DYLAN: Wendy told me, Hannah and Rosemary that if we wanted to, we could call her Mom. I'm kind of leery about it, but still, she IS Dad's wife, and is our stepmom, so if we call her Mom, it's not as if Mom herself could come back to haunt us. Mom's dead, and she's not coming back. ALEX: Makes sense, somewhat. DYLAN: Yeah. Look at them, don't they look great? ALEX: They surely do, hon. Any regrets? DYLAN: None whatsoever, I love you Alex Corwin. ALEX: And I love you, Dylan Harper, with all my heart. (Alex and Dylan share a kiss) (Cut to: The kitchen in the mansion. A young woman is helping haul some creamed corn to the cart. She is a hard worker, and takes pride in her job. The head housekeeper, Julianne Bennett-Hamilton, comes up to her. JULIANNE: Ma'am, do you need some help? WOMAN: I am fine, Ms. Hamilton. JULIANNE: Nonsense, dear. That is what we're here for. You do great work. WOMAN: Thank you, catering is my life. JULIANNE: What is your name? WOMAN: Linda. Linda Atchison. JULIANNE: Don't you have any assistants at all? LINDA: Yes, I do, they are busy in the kitchen. JULIANNE: I will be glad to help you out here. LINDA: Thank you. This needs to be wheeled to the party room. JULIANNE: Glad to help. (Linda smiles, but at the same time, she is sad. She is wealthy, and really doesn't need to work, but it helps give her her own money.) (Cut to: The Ballroom.) MICHAEL: Everyone is getting along. WENDY: That they are. Eric is talking with Dylan and Alex. MICHAEL: They are getting on so well. WENDY: I talked with Vivienne. She is talking about staying on here in Brockton. After what happened with James, she said she can't ever go back home. MICHAEL: That is good that she remains here. WENDY: Shane isn't sure about what he wants to do, what with Mike's legal issues. MICHAEL: Shane found out? WENDY: Eric and he talked when he got here. Shane went to the jail and told Mike where to go. MICHAEL: Good for him. After all the lies, Shane had to tell him off. WENDY: I am glad. Shane and Eric don't need that kind of influence in their lives. MICHAEL: Speaking of which, I think it's time for the announcement. WENDY: Can't we wait until the very end? MICHAEL (ruefully): I think so too. (Wendy smiles and kisses her husband) (Cut to: Amy and Sheila talking) SHEILA: Sounds dreadful, Amy. You did what you had to, having him arrested. AMY: It leaves me with the willies. Bad enough that my ex had to go to him, and talk to him; then he tries to seduce me! SHEILA: I am sorry, Amy. AMY: Ah, Sheila, no need to worry about that. At least he did not rape me. It could have well come to that. SHEILA: Mike lost his prestige. Did he lose his job? AMY: I don't know. I'm not sure. I've heard nothing. SHEILA: Surely, Abby Stevenson would know something. AMY: Maybe, I might call her and find out. (Sheila's phone rings.) SHEILA: Speak of the devil. It's Abby! I have to take this. AMY: That is good. (Sheila talks to Abby, and she gives Amy a thumbs up. Amy is intrigued.) SHEILA: Good news. The board at Mass. General has fired Mike. AMY: That is great news. SHEILA: Abby pulled some strings on the board, and she managed to get him fired. (Amy is relieved, she can now relax and enjoy the party) (Cut to: Bridemaid table. Anyssa is talking with Jacqueline.) JACQUELINE: Thanks for coming to help at the last minute. ANYSSA: It was my pleasure, Jacquie. I was only too glad to. What happened to the other bridesmaid? JACQUELINE: Her name was Diane. She called Velda, and told her that she was in the hospital. ANYSSA: With what? JACQUELINE: A broken leg. She had slipped on some water at her job, and she broke her leg pretty badly. ANYSSA: Ouch! No wonder Diane couldn't make it. JACQUELINE: Yeah, I am glad though that we had three bridesmaids. ANYSSA: So am I, Jacquie. JACQUELINE: Ready to go and eat? ANYSSA: Yes, I am. (Jacqueline and Anyssa walk over to the table for some food) (Voice of Britt Robertson: "Harpers Falls will continue in a moment, here on ONtv") (Open to: Lynne and David talking.) LYNNE: That was so generous of you coming to give Wendy away. DAVID: You are taking this well. LYNNE: David, Shelby is dead. There is nothing else that can be done. Michael will always be part of this family. He is the father of my grandchildren. DAVID: And now, you have a great-granddaughter in Maggie. How is she? LYNNE: She is so full of life. Her eyes are so very blue and she is very wide-eyed. DAVID: Here she comes. (Enter Hannah with Maggie.) HANNAH: I know you didn't get to see her at the wedding, David, since she was asleep, but she wanted to see her grandpa. (David takes Maggie in his arms) DAVID: She is so sweet. You're rightly proud of her, aren't you, Hannah? HANNAH: Yes, I am. I talked with Rosemary, and she is doing fine. LYNNE: How is her pregnancy going along? HANNAH: So far, so good. LYNNE: I am relieved. (Hannah, Lynne and David look at baby Maggie.) (Cut to: The Kitchen. Linda is having her assistant, Kim, get things ready for taking to the van) KIM: Where do we take this, boss? LINDA: It went pretty fast. Catering the Harper's reception is going to be good for the company. KIM: I am sure it is. Boss, you're angry, what's wrong? LINDA: Nothing. Once we're through this party, then I have to call my brother, Brad. KIM: What's going on with him? LINDA: I don't know. I really don't. KIM: If you want to talk to me, later. By all means, pull me aside. LINDA: I will, Kimmie. I promise. KIM: Thanks. You seemed pretty tense. LINDA: I know, and I shouldn't have taken it out on you. Part of me just wants to put my fist in the face of my sister in-law. KIM: Oh oh. LINDA: Ever since Mom died, I made a promise to her that I would watch out for Brad. And that barracuda of a wife of his is really treating him shabbily. KIM: I don't know if I met her? LINDA: No, you didn't, Kimmie. Be glad you didn't. KIM: We're almost finished here. LINDA: Very good. After we get done, we'll talk. (Kim gives her friend Linda a smile.) (Cut to: The Ballroom. Michael clinks his glass) MICHAEL: Your attention please, everyone (Everyone is quieted) WENDY: We want to take this opportunity to thank you for attending this wedding. MICHAEL: Even though we were already married because we eloped, we wanted to have a decent ceremony. (Everyone laughs) WENDY: And we succeeded. MICHAEL: This day is not only a happy day for Wendy and I, but we have an announcement. (Eric is getting nervous. Dylan, Rosemary and Hannah are comforting him.) WENDY: We got the final papers signed, and there is.... MICHAEL: a new member of the Harper family. Joining my three children from my previous marriage, Dylan, Hannah and Rosemary, we have Eric Harper joining us. (the room erupts in applause. Even Kim and Linda, hearing the announcement, is applauding) HANNAH: And now there are four! DYLAN: Welcome to the family, pal. ROSEMARY: We're here for you. ERIC: Thanks, guys. (Dylan, Hannah and Rosemary, along with their spouses, and Eric joins Michael and Wendy together. A family!) (Cut to: Sheila and Allen talking.) ALLEN: That was a stunning announcement. SHEILA: It makes sense to me. ALLEN: I was wondering when we will ever have children. SHEILA: Well.......I DO have a surprise for you. ALLEN: What do you mean? SHEILA: Well, I took a pregnancy test. ALLEN: And.....? SHEILA: I am pregnant. (Allen lets out a whoop. Distracting the rest. Michelle and Anyssa go over) ANYSSA: What is going on? SHEILA: There is another happy occasion. (Wendy and Michael are smiling) MICHAEL: Let us in on it? SHEILA: I am pregnant. (the entire family celebrates) (Cut to: the van outside. Linda is talking on her phone) LINDA: I know what it is you did, Alexandra! I KNOW what you did. And if I find you are lying to my brother, I will make sure you are DEMOLISHED! BELIEVE that! (Voice of Melinda Sward: "On the next Harpers Falls...") ERIC (to Shane): I wish you could stay here in Boston. LINDA (to Alexandra): I don't trust you! You hurt Brad, you hurt me. AMY (to Mike): I will see you in PRISON for what you did! |
