SAME DAY. NIGHT.
At Bob and Kim’s Home, Kim and Rita are in the living room. They are sitting down on the couch and having tea.
KIM: What’s so serious? What do you need to tell me about Bob?
RITA: Now, when I tell you this, I don’t want it to send you into overdrive. I need you to stay calm. Do you understand?
KIM: Yeah. Sure. Just tell me what’s going on.
RITA: 62 years ago, Bob murdered a boy by the name of Brett.
Kim is absolutely shocked. She can’t believe what Rita just said.
KIM: What did you just say to me?

At Katie’s Apartment, Katie is sitting on the couch, having a glass of wine, and reading a fashion magazine. Then, there is a knock at the door. She takes a sip of her wine, closes her magazine, and goes to the door.
KATIE: (opening the door) What are you doing here?
MARGO: I wanted to stop by and talk. May I come in?
KATIE: Sure. Come on in.
Margo enters. Katie shuts the door and turns back.
KATIE: So, what brings you by?
MARGO: I wanted to apologize.
KATIE: Apologize? For what?
MARGO: For the way I treated you.

At the LakeView, Diego walks down a hall of suites. He comes to Suite 701. He takes a deep breath and knocks on the door. A couple seconds later, Iva answers. She is wearing a pink silk robe.
DIEGO: Even though you still look beautiful, I don’t believe this is proper dressing for a night on the town.
IVA: Well, I would dress better if I was going.
DIEGO: Excuse me?
IVA: I’m sorry, Diego. I’m not going.

At Sierra’s Penthouse, Sierra comes down the stairs. She is a blue, sparkly, strapless dress. She is putting on her earrings. Then, there is a knock at her door. She looks in a mirror by the door, before answering. She then answers.
SIERRA: (opening the door) Well, you are early.
MARSHALL: Well, I couldn’t wait any longer. I had to see that beautiful face of your’s...right away. I hope that’s okay.
SIERRA: You really know how to turn on the charm right away.
MARSHALL: Well, my father taught me a lot.
SIERRA: He sounds like a smart man.
MARSHALL: He is. So, you ready to go?
SIERRA: Sure. Just let me grab my bag.
MARSHALL: Of course.
As Sierra goes to grab her evening bag, Marshall smiles at her.

At Susan’s Home, Susan and Betsy enter the living room. Betsy has a take out bag. The two sit down on the couch.
SUSAN: Thank you for satisfying my Chinese food craving.
BETSY: I was happy to do it.
Susan and Betsy begin to get food out of the bag. They begin to set up to eat it. Susan eats a piece of spicy chicken with a pair of chopsticks.
BETSY: So, what’s new?
SUSAN: Well, my wheelchair came today. Emily said that she is going to hire someone to put in a chair lift.
BETSY: That’s nice.
SUSAN: So, I would ask what is new with you but I have a feeling I already know. I was going to ask you about Steve.
BETSY: Were you now?
SUSAN: (laughs) Yes. I know that he’s been back in town for a couple of months now. So, is there a future for the two of you?

Back at the LakeView, in Iva’s Suite, Diego enters. Iva shuts the door.
DIEGO: What do you mean that you can’t go?
IVA: I can’t go. I have too much work to do.
DIEGO: I’m sure you can take a few personal hours.
IVA: No. No. I’m sorry but I can’t. I have to sort through box after box after box of patient files. We need to know where our resources need to go.
DIEGO: You’re a good woman, Iva. You’re doing work for people who have AIDS/HIV. That must be hard work.
IVA: It is hard work. However, I love helping people.
DIEGO: Come on. Just one drink.
IVA: Fine. If it will make you shut up...one drink.
DIEGO: Thank you.
IVA: But, I’m putting on jeans and a sweater. I won’t even wear heels. And, we will not go to the Mona Lisa. We will go to Ruffles.
DIEGO: Deal.
IVA: Now, wait out in the hall.
DIEGO: You got it…, friend.

Back at Katie’s Apartment, Katie and Margo are in the living room.
KATIE: Do you want a glass of wine?
MARGO: Sure.
KATIE: Red or white?
MARGO: Red.
Katie pours Margo a glass of wine and hands it to her.
MARGO: Thank you very much.
KATIE: No problem. So, you said (sitting) you wanted to apologize for the way you treated me? What does that mean?
MARGO: I feel (sitting) bad that I arrested you.
KATIE: Margo, don’t. You were just doing your job. Besides, I made bail. I am AOK. I only spent the night in a cell. That’s it. One night. Also, I was in the wrong.
MARGO: Thank you for saying that. However, I did feel guilty.
KATIE: Well, I don’t want you to feel guilty.
MARGO: Thank you. Hey…, can I ask you for a favor?
KATIE: Sure. Anything. What’s up?
MARGO: Can you get me into contact with Julian?

Back at Susan’s Home, Betsy opens another box of noodles.
BETSY: Trust me, there is no future for me and Steve.
SUSAN: Never say never.
BETSY: Well, in this situation I am saying never.
SUSAN: Honey, love is unpredictable.
BETSY: The only thing that Steve and I share now is a daughter.
SUSAN: Has he asked you out yet?
BETSY: (laughs) Mom, no. He has never asked me out.
SUSAN: Do you think he will?
BETSY: No, he won’t.
SUSAN: And, why do you say that?
BETSY: Because, he is too busy trying to take down Diego.

At the Mona Lisa, Sierra and Marshall are having dinner.
MARSHALL: This is a nice little place.
SIERRA: It is. I’ve always loved Lisa’s restaurant.
MARSHALL: You know the owner?
SIERRA: I do. I’ve known her for awhile.
MARSHALL: What’s she like?
SIERRA: I think the best way to describe Lisa is bubbly.
MARSHALL: Really?
SIERRA: Yes.
MARSHALL: I have one word to describe you.
SIERRA: You do?
MARSHALL: Yes. It’s gorgeous.
SIERRA: Well, someone wants a kiss at the end of the night.
MARSHALL: Well, you can’t blame a guy for trying.
Sierra laughs.
MARSHALL: You have a beautiful laugh.
SIERRA: Thank you very much.
Sierra smiles at Marshall. She takes a sip of her wine.

Back at Bob and Kim’s Home, Kim walks Rita to the door.
KIM: You need to leave right now.
RITA: Kim, just hear me out.
KIM: No! My husband would never hurt anyone.
RITA: I’m telling you the truth.
KIM: Get the hell out of my house.
There is a silence that falls in the room. Rita can see the rage in Kim’s eyes. Rita takes a deep breath. She opens the door.
RITA: (sighs) If you don’t want to listen to me…, you should at least ask him all about this. Goodbye, Kim.
Rita slams the door. The camera zooms in on Kim’s face.
