Scene: Trinity Church, one of Boston's best known churches. On Copley Square, it is the site of a funeral. Alex Corwin's funeral.

ROSEMARY: Mark, how is my brother doing?
MARK: He's fine. He's been busy doing some preparations.
ROSEMARY: Why is he doing that?
MARK: It helps to keep him busy.
ROSEMARY: He shouldn't be having to deal with the details.
MARK: Honey, your brother is trying to keep busy, to not fall into grief.
ROSEMARY: You're right, maybe that does help. But how can he manage?
MARK: I know, dearest. I will go and see how he is doing.
ROSEMARY: Thanks.

(Cut to: Brad, Ralph and Linda)

RALPH: He is soldiering on pretty well I might add.
BRAD: He's not mad at us, that is something. It's LIBBY he's mad at.
LINDA: I know. My wish is that I could beat the TAR out of her for what she did to him.
RALPH: I know, honey. But beating the tar out of Libby will accomplish nothing.
BRAD: She would be a fool to show up here.
LINDA: Yes, she would be. For once, I hope her good sense prevails.
RALPH: You think she would do that?
BRAD: No, because she just always HAS to rub the salt in the wound.
RALPH: That is why there is a lot of security around here.
LINDA: That is a mercy. We'd best go and find a seat.
RALPH: Right.

(Cut to: Sheila sitting down next to a very grieving Dylan.)

SHEILA: Honey, how are you doing?
DYLAN: No amount of work can deflect from how I feel. I lost my lover.
SHEILA: I know, sweetie.
(Enter Cynthia)
CYNTHIA: How is he, Sheila?
SHEILA: Not good.
CYNTHIA: I wish I could help.
SHEILA: He's really taking this hard.
(Enter Christina)
CHRISTINA: How are you doing, sweetheart?
DYLAN: Managing, but that is about all I can say.
SHEILA: You've got us, honey.
CYNTHIA: That's right, darling. That Libby won't get in here today. If she comes, she is a fool!

(Cut to: Michael and Michelle)

MICHAEL: My son is hurting. The man he loved is gone, thanks to that Libby Atchison's selfishness!
MICHELLE: She will be destroyed, Mike. Believe me, she will suffer for what she did.
(Enter Patricia)
PATRICIA: He is trying his hardest, but he is struggling to keep from breaking down.
MICHELLE: He does need to grieve, Aunt Patricia.
PATRICIA: And he will, darling.
MICHELLE: I hope so, Aunt Patricia.
(A noise is at the entrance of the church. Dylan is in tears)
ANYSSA: What the hell?
(The family runs to Dylan. The entire company is fuming with rage.)
MICHAEL: Who told YOU that you could get in here?!
(It's Libby!)
LIBBY: This is a public funeral!
RALPH: Get out of here, Libby, before I have you arrested!
LIBBY: No, Daddy! I am welcome here too!
SHEILA: Damn you! Get the hell out of here!
LIBBY (piously): Language, Sheila Harper! This is a church you know!
PATRICIA: Get out of here! Haven't you caused ENOUGH damage?!
LIBBY: Lady, I have only just BEGUN!
(She stomps up to Dylan, and she slaps him hard!)
ANYSSA: You get away from him, you filthy slut!
LIBBY (ignoring Anyssa): I wanted to show my respects! Which I have NONE! Had your stupid cousin had just given me what I wanted, then Alex would still be ALIVE!
(Enter Linda, infuriated. Brad, Barry, Michael and Ralph go to the devastated Dylan. Linda punches Libby.)
LINDA: This time, you've gone too far, sister dear! You are leaving here, right NOW!
(Linda picks up a screaming and cursing Libby and shoves her out the door.)
GUARD: Anything we can do, Ms. Atchison?
LINDA: Yes. Tell my sister that if she goes in again, she will be arrested for trespass!

(Cut to; Hannah and Craig.)

CRAIG: I can't believe she would have the brazeness to do that!
HANNAH: I would beat the tar out of her for what she did to my brother.
CRAIG: She is a monster. I hope she gets destroyed!
HANNAH: So do I. Her attitude has ruined everything!
CRAIG: She had no right to slap Dylan the way she did.
HANNAH: He's devastated, and for good reason. And to have that bitch come in here and slap him like that was abominable!
CRAIG: She will pay for it. She's gone too far!
HANNAH: I had best get over there to see how he is doing.
CRAIG: I will come with you.
(Hannah and Craig come upon a sobbing Dylan. Barry VanAnderman is trying to keep him from falling apart.)
HANNAH: Dyl, she won't get away with that.
DYLAN (sobbing): She couldn't leave well enough alone! She never does!
LINDA: She will not get away with what she did. NEVER! Not as long as I have anything to say about it, and I do!

(Voice of Emily Harper: "Harpers Falls will continue in a moment, here on ONtv.")

Cut to: Pastor Evenson, who is officiating the funeral service.

PASTOR: Today, we are gathered to say our fond farewells to Alexander Corwin. He was many things to all of us. Beloved friend; loving son; beloved spouse. He was taken from us very suddenly; and the loss is still felt. I have asked some of his closest friends and family to come up and speak their thoughts on Alex.
(Sheila comes up)
SHEILA: The first time I met Alex was when he came to Harpers Falls and helped Dylan after his relationship with Kip blew up in his face. Alex was always there for Dylan. No matter what the situation, whether it's happy or sad, Alex and Dylan were always reliable. Their assistance at any family function was legendary. They were indeed the heart and soul of the family. Alex, you are safe now. None will hurt you more.
(Sheila sits down.)
PASTOR: Any one else at present?
(Dylan comes up. Everyone is stunned.)
DYLAN: Alex was always concerned about people. That was his strength. He was always compassionate, and knew what to do for those who needed him. When he came into my life, I wasn't sure what to think, but his love and compassion came through. It's something of his that I will always cherish. They say you get one soul mate in your life. And to me, Alex Corwin was that person. And no matter what, even if I move on with someone else, I know that Alex will always be a guardian angel for me. To me, that is special. Rest in peace, my love, my angel, my......Alex.
(Dylan begins to sob again. Barry, Mark and Craig help him to his seat where he sobs.)

(Cut to: the basement, for the after service. Dylan is still trying to keep it together.)

LINDA: I am sorry for what she did to you earlier, Dyl.
DYLAN: It's not your fault, Linda.
LINDA: I know, but she had no right to do that.
DYLAN: What will be done?
LINDA: I know you want to press charges against her, but I know you also have a lot going on. How about Brad and I pressing charges for you?
DYLAN: I would really appreciate that, Linda.
LINDA: It would be the best thing we can do for you, after what she did to you and Alex. Especially what she had done to Alex.
BRAD: We will make sure that the charges stick.
DYLAN: Thank you.
RALPH: Are you going to be all right?
DYLAN: I don't know, I am scared for all the days ahead without Alex.
BRAD: We'll check up on you, when we can, ok?
LINDA: We want to do that.
DYLAN: You don't have to, but I appreciate that.
RALPH: Our pleasure.

(Cut to: Outside Trinity Church. Libby is still trying to get in and rub the salt in the wound.)

LIBBY: NOBODY will keep me out of it!
(Just then, someone grabs her, and shoves her away from the door. And she is shoved into the fountain!)
LIBBY: WHO DID THAT?!
(enter Amy Smythe)
AMY: That is for what you did to Alex Corwin!
(She then slaps Libby hard)
AMY: And THAT is for what you did to Dylan! I hope you get charged with murder, you bitch!
(Amy storms off)
LIBBY: Come back and fight!
AMY: I demolished you, and yet you STILL want to fight! You are pathetic!
LIBBY: I made Dylan pay because Sheila would not sell me her fashion house!
(Amy grabs her enemy and shakes her hard)
AMY: LISTEN TO ME, YOU DEMONIC SLUT! YOU KILLED ALEX CORWIN BECAUSE SHEILA WATKINS REFUSED TO HAND OVER HER FASHION HOUSE TO YOU?! You really are a sick and twisted woman! And I hope you burn in HELL for what you did!
(Amy storms off, this time for good)
LIBBY: This is not over, bitch!
(She is grabbed again, and slapped HARD across the face by Linda)
LINDA: Yes, Libby, this IS over! You killed Alex Corwin; and you are going to pay for this!

(Libby is FURIOUS!)

Harpers Falls will return to normal, tomorrow.
