Previously on “The Mysteries of Our Lives”: Winter of Forbidden EcstasyAndrew: I admire your husband… for allowing a woman like yourself to spend so much time with another man. (~)
Kendall: Get off your moral pedestal because the last thing Royce needs is to be crucified by you. (~)
Darron: I don’t blame you--
Widlin: Stop, I don't need your understanding.
***Kendall: (popping in as Royce views a case file) Hey, you needed to see me.
Royce: Yeah, why don’t you close the door behind you?
Kendall: (shuts door) Okay, what’s going on?
Royce: What prompted you to move from Europe to Hallandale? (Kendall becomes awe inspired by his directness)
(<- Shanna’s Art Studio ->)
Shalia: (walking in unannounced) Mrs. Hemmings, nice painting!
Shanna: (covers the canvas) Shayla!
Shalia: It’s Shalia.
Shanna: Shayla, Shalia, whatever. What are you doing here?
Shalia: Have I done something to offend you?
Shanna: No, now just say what you have to say and leave.
Shalia: It’s about your husband; you need to tell him to stay out of my life. (Shanna remains amazed by Shalia’s request)
(<- The Pierre Estate ->)
Alexander: (walking down the stairs noticing his daughter anxiously awaiting him) Widlin darling, you must stop that pacing.
Widlin: (ominous tone) Well, I have been waiting for you.
Alexander: I know you must be angry--
Widlin: Oh, anger doesn’t even begin to describe it.
Alexander: But I am your father and I told Darron the truth for your own good.
Widlin: My own good? You think you did this out of concern? What you did was despicable and to justify it by calling yourself a father, that’s sick!
Royce: Well, you’ve always known me to be direct.
Kendall: That’s for sure!
Royce: I am just trying to give you the chance to explain, without someone else adding his or her own twist to it.
Kendall: and I appreciate that, but I really don’t care to discuss it.
Royce: One can assume that’s because you have something to hide, do you? (Kendall scoffs at the suggestion)
(<- Shanna’s Art Studio ->)
Shanna: I am not going to tell my husband what to do because I know when he’s made up his mind, there’s nothing I can do to change it.
Shalia: Well, he’s made it his personal mission to dig into my personal affairs and that is unacceptable.
Shanna: What am I supposed to do about that? It’s not my problem that Ben doesn’t trust you. (turns away)
Shalia: You’d think you be a lot more concern since he seems to be a lot more focus on me than he is with you.
Shanna: I have no doubts that my husband loves me.
Shalia: Then maybe that’s not the problem, perhaps you just fail to excite him anymore, but I will not be his entertainment project. (further offending Shanna)
(<- The Pierre Mansion ->)
Alexander: What I did was not sick, I was protecting you because that is what a parent does, protect their child and make sure he or she doesn’t get hurt. We see things more clearly to recognize when you’re engaging in something or someone who is bad for you.
Widlin: and who will be good enough for me, father? You certainly haven’t approved of anyone else who has been in my life, have you?
Alexander: Yes, I haven’t always supported your choices, but that’s only because I thought you could do better. You’re my daughter and I don’t want to see you settling for less.
Widlin: Don’t you think that is up for me to decide? Whether someone is worthy enough to be a part of my life?
Alexander: Sure, but a little fatherly guidance doesn’t hurt.
Widlin: Yeah, but yours kills!
Alexander: That hurts.
Widlin: (callous tone) Good, do you even realize what you have done? You have probably destroyed any chances for Darron and me, but worst of all, you have drained any faith that I ever had in you. I hope my shattered life was worth the price. (walks off and Alexander reflects on self-pity for a moment before following)
***Alexander: Now hold up, you are not going to leave after saying that. I am Alexander Pierre and I am your father, no one walks out on me.
Widlin: Why not? You call yourself a father, you have ruined my entire life, you bastard! (Alexander hearing the ringing of Widlin’s last word)
(<- Shanna’s Art Studio ->)
Shanna: Where do you get off?
Shalia: I am sick of your husband nosing around where he doesn’t belong and is not wanted. This journey that he is on to protect Derek from big bad old me is pointless and Derek is a grown man, he can take care of himself. So call your husband off.
Shanna: You don’t seem to understand that my husband is his own man and has his own mind, if you have nothing to hide and I am seriously starting to doubt that you don’t, then you have nothing to worry about.
Shalia: I think you’re the one that should be worried, Ben’s preoccupation with Derek and his wife seems quite discerning.
Shanna: You are sick!
Shalia: I’m sorry if the truth sickens you, but perhaps Ben feels things are rather dry among your side of the field and wants a chance to explore another (diligently said) field.
Shanna: I am not even going to dignify that with a response.
Shalia: You already did.
Shanna: (looking up in disgust in a blunt tone) Get out of my studio.
Shalia: Not until you put a stop to your husband.
(<- HatcherKeller & Associates Investigations ->)
Rochelle: (knock at door) Come in!
Lacreasha: (Rochelle turns to her entrance) Hello Rochelle!
Rochelle: What are you doing here?
Lacreasha: I know I am probably the last person you’d want to see--
Rochelle: (lacking emotion) Close enough.
Lacreasha: But I need your help because for the first time in a long time, we both have something in common.
Kendall: No, I do not have anything to hide, like I said before, I do not want to discuss Europe.
Royce: But wouldn’t it help if--
Kendall: (turning to him and saying quite bluntly) No, it will not Royce, now can we please get back to business.
Royce: (walking back over to his desk and taking a list) I have a list of prospective new employees that I will like for you to schedule appointments with.
Kendall: Okay that doesn’t seem too complicated, is that all?
Royce: For now!
Kendall: Fine, I will have that schedule for you before the end of the day. (proceeding to exit)
Royce: All right, see you. (commenting to himself) Well, it backfired this time.
***Rochelle: Skip the small talk, you have 5 minutes.
Lacreasha: I’m doing an expose on Kavina.
Rochelle: You? An expose?
Lacreasha: Cut the wise cracks! That’s the reason I am here. I want you to be my source for the story.
Rochelle: and say exactly what?
Lacreasha: We need to give the public the full scoop on Kavina, uncut. It’s about time the world sees the pain and misery Kavina has brought into our lives. So are you with me?
(<- The Pierre Mansion –>)
Alexander: You apologize right now.
Widlin: You have no right to demand anything from me nor am I going to oblige.
Alexander: (facing her back) I thought I said no one walks out on me.
Widlin: How can I forget, it’s the other way around. You walked out on Kyle, Uncle Michael and even mother.
Alexander: You know I never walked out on your mother.
Widlin: Nonetheless, this time someone’s walking out on you-- me!
Alexander: (amazed tone) Over Darron Wolek?
Widlin: Over you constant interference in my life, it has got to stop. The only way for me to regain any control of my life is to be free of you.
(<- Shanna’s Art Studio ->)
Shanna: You must have a hearing problem, I told you that I am not getting involved. If you want Ben to stop, you tell him yourself.
Shalia: I have tried!
Shanna: And that’s why he is even more determined. If you have nothing to hide, then you shouldn’t be the slightest bit worried that he is digging around in your past. But you’re becoming desperate and let me tell you something, if you are keeping secrets, rest assure, that with Ben on the case, you won’t be keeping them for long.
(<- Hatcher Keller & Associates Investigations ->)
Rochelle: Are you aware of what you’re asking me to do?
Lacreasha: Help bury a women who pretended to be your friend, all the while she was framing you for murder.
Rochelle: Nonetheless, I am not into exploitation.
Lacreasha: Oh come off your high horse, Kavina tried to kill you and she knew exactly what she was doing, there was no emotional duress, it was pure malice. You owe her nothing.
Rochelle: I could say the same about you.
Lacreasha: Well, I did spare you from being charged with murder; perhaps you can repay me for that favor. Come on, are you really going to let your animosity towards me stop you from helping me get Kavina because really, this could mean the difference between her freedom and her being convicted.
***Lacreasha: So what’s it going to be, pride or justice?
Rochelle: It is not that easy.
Lacreasha: Oh, Rochelle, it is! You do not want to see Kavina go free no more than I do. So let’s call a truce and help me stop her. (Lacreasha lends out her hand, which Rochelle reluctantly gives in and shakes)
Alexander: What do you mean, be free of me?
Widlin: My life has been pretty much in stand still since I quit the agency and then I had to deal with your disapproval of Darron and our constant fights about his motives concerning me. I have become dependent on you and allowed you this power over my life and that has to end, you need a life of your own and perhaps with me away, you can do that.
Alexander: Away?
Widlin: (raises her head high) I’m leaving Hallandale! (Alexander remains shock upon hearing the revelation)
Shalia: It’s a matter of privacy and I don’t care what his reasons, he has no right to be in Louisiana.
Shanna: Louisiana?
Shalia: Oh, I guess your husband doesn’t tell you everything.
Shanna: Well, I have been busy lately with renovations for the studio and I’m sure he didn’t have time to run everything by me, but his absence will be well worth it once he returns with the truth about you and whatever secret you are desperately trying to keep.
Shalia: There is no secret.
Shanna: If you say so, one way or the other, when Ben returns, we will know the truth. (Shanna walks away from Shalia, leaving her with that thought)
Shaquanna: Think about what you’re passing up.
Malina: I have thought about it and my answer is still the same. (~)
Garrettlyn: Do you really think it is so easy to forgive and forget? (~)
Widlin: My life has gone into this downward spiral all in the course of a year and I have allowed you to trample all over it. (~)
Romain: The epidemic, it’s spreading!
