Previously on "The Mysteries of Our Lives": Winter of Forbidden EcstasySandy: What would provoke Romain to do and say such things? (~)
Samantha: Where are you going?
Jessica: To give someone what they got coming. (~)
Devon: Please spare me the tortured act... this is what you wanted for months now.
***Darron: What is this mess?
Alexander: A friendly little warning.
Darron: With you, nothing is ever friendly. You're trying to cause trouble and I won't allow it. I trust Widlin!
Alexander: But does she trust you? Are you lying in bed next to a faithful women at night?
Darron: You're sick, accusing your own daughter of being unfaithful.
Alexander: No, but she is keeping something from you, but don't believe me. You'll look in her eyes and you'll know the truth! (grins deviously after Darron walks off)
(<- Hallandale County Prison ->)
Security Guard: Hello, Mrs. Arlington!
Jessica: It's Ms. Chappell now. I need to see one of your inmates. (proceeding to pass the guard)
Security Guard: Ms. Chappell, you're not allowed back there.
Jessica: (turning back to the guard with conviction in her voice) Then get me William Arlington!
(<- Pryce International ->)
Enrique: (Devon knocks on door before entering) Mr. Lynchetterette! What can I do for you?
Devon: You didn't receive my message?
Enrique: I have been quite busy lately, my messages are the least of my concerns.
Devon: Well, I hope you have been busy trying to figure out who murdered my brother.
Enrique: Well, to be honest, that has not been my top priority right now.
Devon: My brother has been murdered and I would think it would be this city's law enforcement main focus to make sure his killers don't get away with it. (Enrique responds by raising his right eyebrow)
(<- Hunks & Beauty Fashions International ->)
Danielle: (raising up steadly) You bitch! I don't care if you have a crush on the mailman and I am too distracting for you, if you put your hands on me again, you will regret it. (leaving as quickly as she made her declaration)
Vanessa: (responding to herself) You're the one that is going to be sorry, little girl, if you don't keep your mangy hands off Lucien!
(<- Mercy Hospital ->)
Sandy: Why would you do that?
Sherri: I got caught up in my frustrations from him keeping secrets from me and then blind siding me with a confession of undying love. It was like I was being transformed back in time to--
Sandy: What? To Mitchell and his ongoing affair with me? Is that what this is about because I cannot believe you are letting that come between you and Romain, I mean, I thought you were over it.
Sherri: I am!
Sandy: Are you or is that what you just think I want to hear?
(<- Garden Ridges Park ->)
Widlin: Darron, where have you been? I have been waiting here almost an hour.
Darron: Have you been keeping secrets from me?
Widlin: Where is all this coming from?
Darron: (handing it to Widlin) I received this letter in the mail.
Widlin: "No nest has more lies than a nest settle with someone rich." From this, you think I am keeping secrets.
Darron: Well, your father's name is attached, isn't it? Now either he is trying to torture me or he knows something I don't and don't lie to me because I don't like it. (Widlin baffled by Darron's words)
Darron: I don't like giving credence to anything your father says, but he's not the type of man to say something without meaning something.
Widlin: It sounds to me like you have already made up your mind. So you think my father knows something you don't and that it is about me?
Darron: It's not the first time your father has implied such knowledge, you do recall last night?
Widlin: Vaguely!
Darron: Well, your father implied he knew something last night and shortly after your discussion with him, made a complete 180. So I have to ask, does your father know something that I don't? (Widlin expression changes to uneasiness)
(<- Pryce International ->)
Enrique: Look Mr. Lynchetterette, I am sorry about your loss, but I hardly think that gives you the right to dictate my priorities. In fact, wasn't it you who lied about who you were and your connection to the deceased?
Devon: What does that have to do with anything?
Enrique: I am just stating the facts: your brother was murdered 13 years or so ago in Coral Springs, Nevada. We're not in Coral Springs anymore, this is Hallandale and there are lot more people here who are looking for their own answers.
Devon: and so my questions are insignificant?
Enrique: No, they are just not of high importance to us right now. Take a look around, I don't have the availability of men to have them scour evidence for a trail that is probably long cold. The fact of the matter is that it's highly unlikely we will ever find your brother's murderer.
(<- Hallandale County Prison ->)
William: Well, if it isn't my beautiful ex-wife?
Jessica: (displeasure in her tone) William.
William: To what do I owe this visit? I hope nothing is wrong.
Jessica: You know damn well you have been pacing in your cell, waiting for this visit. Well, I have news for you, this visit isn't going to turn out the way you hoped.
William: (ominous tone) We'll see about that!
***Jessica: (suspicious tone) Why are you so cocky?
William: Do I make you nervous?
Jessica: (scoffs) Your sick hold on me is over, I told you that when I served you those divorce papers.
William: Well, I am a man of action, words are powerless to me. (Jessica becomes disgusted with him)
(<- Hunks & Beauty Fashions International ->)
Michelle: Oh my god, what happened to you?
Danielle: I don't want to talk about it. How did my proofs come out?
Michelle: Take a look for yourself, Stephen gave me some mark-ups before he left.
Danielle: So does this mean I am free to go?
Michelle: Yeah, but why are you in such as rush to get out of here, all of sudden?
Danielle: Well, the modeling show is right around the corner, I want as much time to myself that is not about eating and sleeping modeling. (Michelle not entirely convinced)
(<- Mercy Hospital ->)
Sandy: I know that you kind of put all your feelings aside about me and Mitchell after I got shot, we never actually resolve the betrayal and buried the hatchet. Since I forgot about my life with Mitchell, it was easier for you to let all those feelings fade.
Sherri: Maybe, but I have gotten past that, it's just a lot harder for me to trust a man when he's keeping secrets. Could you?
Sandy: I am not the one in the relationship, you have known Romain for some time now, what kind of secret do you think he is keeping from you?
Sherri: (speechless at first) I-- I don't know!
Sandy: But you feel it's major enough to risk your relationship with him.
Sherri: Look, all I know is that ever since he's gotten back from North Dakota, he's been acting strange. He's closed off, I just don't know what to think or do. (Sandy starts to comprehend the seriousness of her sister's message)
***Sandy: (finally speaking) Wow!
Sherri: (grins) Yeah, I know, its rare, but you're speechless.
Sandy: Well, I don't know any wise advice I can give you, after all, I'm not exactly the expert on romance considering my love life.
Sherri: Are you thinking about Mitchell?
Sandy: I just wondering why he isn't back now, it seems like he's been gone for ages.
Sherri: Well, considering the circumstances under which he left, can you blame him?
Sandy: You don't think he's coming back, do you? You think Mitchell left Hallandale for good? (not wanting it to be true, looking to her sister for reassurance)
(<- Hallandale County Prison ->)
Jessica: My god, I don't even recognize you anymore. There is no sign of the man I married inside of you.
William: Spare me your self-righteousness.
Jessica: No, you're going to hear every word that I have to say to you. You ruined your life because you couldn't trust me enough to believe I was telling the truth. You felt so powerless and out of control that you spent the last several months before your incarceration terrorizing me and when I remain strong and continued to have some semblance of a normal life, then that unforgettable night, to make yourself feel like a man, you tried to rape me.
William: Oh, I don't need to prove that I was a man because I am and that's why you're really here because you're running scared.
Jessica: Oh, I am not running, I am facing my fears head on. You see, I am a women of action, I don't need goons to relay my messages for me, I'm not weak or powerless, that's you! (angering William)
(<- Garden Ridges Park ->)
Widlin: You know that you're the only one I have ever been able to share everything with, there's nothing I couldn't tell you.
Darron: So your father's just yanking my chain?
Widlin: Why are you questioning what I just told you? My father hates you and he would do anything to get rid of you, so why take anything he has to say at face value?
Darron: You already asked me that and I thought I answered it perfectly clear. Let me tell you something, I have had experience with lying, I can spot it a mile away. So if you're having second thoughts, the time is now.
(<- Pryce International ->)
Devon: So you're just going to give up on my brother?
Enrique: It's no longer in my jurisdiction, Devon! I don't have the manpower and I don't have the resources.
Devon: So you're just going to dispose of my brother's case as if he was some common street thug that got what he deserve.
Enrique: For all we know, he probably did.
Devon: That's a very cruel thing to say, didn't your parents teach you not to speak ill of the dead.
Enrique: Yeah, they did, I apologize, (serious tone and position as he walks back to his desk) but your brother's case is closed.
***Danielle: (walking to her room) Brett, haven't seen a lot of you lately?
Brett: Same here, what's been going on? (she takes a deep breath trying to regain her composure)
Devon: Well, you may be willing to close this case, but I am not.
Enrique: What is that supposed to mean?
Devon: I want to find my brother's murderer and make them suffer. Now I can do that with or without your help, it's really up to you.
Enrique: Well, I made up my mind, but I am going to give you a little advice. Don't let finding your brother's killer take over your life because everything else in it is falling apart. (his words hit close to home for Devon)
Widlin: Fine, I am keeping something from you, but it is not really that important.
Darron: Just tell me what the secret is!
Widlin: My father gave me an ultimatum, either stop seeing you or be cut off financially, indefinitely.
Darron: Well, obviously you chose to be cut off because-- (being overcome with thoughts about the last couple of days) how long ago was this?
Widlin: I don't recall.
Darron: The last couple of days you were acting all strange meeting me in areas you would hardly frequent under normal circumstances-- You didn't want your father to know you were still seeing me. (looking in amazement at Widlin) When your father gave you that ultimatum, what did you choose?
William: I can't exactly hold up my status while I am in here, you know?
Jessica: Yes, that's why you got your goon to play footsy with me and then scare me into coming here, for what, I am not exactly sure.
William: Maybe I should give you one last gift and tell you.
Jessica: Why would you want to do that?
William: To give you a fair warning, a heads up--
Security Guard: Mr. Arlington, your lawyer's here.
Jessica: (baffled, turning to his lawyer) Lawyer?
Man: Why, Ms. Chappell, didn't think you'd see me again, did you? (Jessica turns back to William in confusion and once again to his lawyer)
Enrique: I suggest you start thinking long and hard about who wanted you dead because someone did. (~)
Jessica: What's going on here? (~)
Reporter: There she is, the lead model of Hunk & Beauty Fashions!
