Previously on “The Mysteries of Our Lives”: Winter of Forbidden EcstasyGarrett: Bug off.
Romeo: Is that what you really want, Garrett? (~)
Brian: You don’t mind if I invite him along, do you?
Jennifer: No! (~)
Romain: Obviously you can’t respect that and I don’t have the effort to see if you can. So get out of my house! (~)
Lacreasha: Leonard Stone is your brother, Rochelle.
***Lacreasha: My god, its finally out. My heart feels a thousand tons lighter.
Rochelle: This isn’t true; this is some sick kind of joke, isn’t it?
Lacreasha: (relieved and able to say with ease) No!
(<- Preston Powers Mansion ->)
Jennifer: See what being civil to Dylan will get you?
Brian: You must understand where he is coming from though?
Jennifer: I stop trying to figure out where Dylan is coming from because all I end up with is a migraine.
Brian: You could have been a little more encouraging when I invited him along with us.
Jennifer: I’m sorry I can’t muster up phony compassion as well as you can, but if tending to his feelings mean ignoring my own, then you can forget it.
(<- North Dakota ->)
Dane: (throwing darts at a picture with contempt in his voice) You bastard! (his tone slowly becomes at ease) Your eyes, that smile, that face-- Oh, and how can I forget that--
Kristen: (interrupting him) What are you doing?
Dane: Well, I have to find something to pass the time.
Kristen: (suspicious expression and tone) Is that--
Dane: Yeah, you like, it is the way you pictured him, huh? All in his blessed glory.
Kristen: Why do you have a picture of Romain Chandler?
Dane: (tone of his voice raises) To remind myself of the reason I am trapped in this hellhole.
(<- Crystal’s Fantasy ->)
Romain: (walking up to the bar stool) A scotch on the rocks, please?
Sherri: Romain? (He turns to the sound of her voice)
Garrettlyn: This conversation is disappointing, now I have made it clear that I am not interested, so bug off. (Turning her attention back to the bar)
Romeo: Is that what you really want, Garrett?
Garrettlyn: (turning back in curiosity) How the hell do you know my name?
Romeo: Oh, you’d be surprise how much I know about you-- (cocky tone) Garrettlyn Michaels. (Garrett then becomes unnerved)
Romeo: Let’s just say we have a mutual acquaintance-- Dylan McCloud. (Garrett becomes apprehensive) I see you’ve heard of the name. Well, of course you have, he’s the reason I know so much about you.
(<- Preston Powers Mansion ->)
Brian: (Jennifer bypassing him) Jenni, where are you going?
Jennifer: (proceeding to leave) I am going out-- alone!
Brian: Come on; let’s not blow this out of proportion.
Jennifer: I don’t appreciate being saddled upon with Dylan. It is not my responsibility to make sure he feels better-- oh please! (finally walking off)
Brian: Damn! (grunting while lifting his head up in the air)
Jennifer: Looks like I just ruined your night. (Brian turning to his voice, trying not to appear upset)
(<- Showtime Limits Agency ->)
Rochelle: Are you telling me that this is true? (disgust in her tone) That Leonard Stone is my half-brother?
Lacreasha: I know this is a lot to take in.
Rochelle: A lot to take in, I dated a man on and off for years and you didn’t think it was important enough I know he was my brother.
Lacreasha: Half-brother!
Rochelle: Oh please, half right doesn’t make it any less wrong. I cannot believe you could keep something like this from me.
Lacreasha: I guess this is just something else you can hold over my head because god knows Rochelle can never do any wrong; you’re just perfect.
Rochelle: Don’t you dare try to turn this around and make this about me; you are the one that decided to keep this from me for some sick sense of power. Well, now you’re powerless and you only proven to me how truly sick you really are.
Lacreasha: (stopping Rochelle as she attempts to leave) Oh no, you bitch! You are not going anywhere, not until you hear what I have to say. (Rochelle gearing up for battle)
***Kristen: It’s not healthy for you to have all this anger towards Romain, especially considering where you are.
Dane: What does where I am have to do with my contempt for Romie?
Kristen: Because the point of this place was to help you let go that anger among other things.
Dane: I can’t help it; Just the sound of his name is enough to make me want to strangle someone.
(<- Crystal’s Fantasy ->)
Romain: What are you doing here?
Sherri: I’m not stalking you if that’s what you’re getting at.
Romain: I wasn’t nor did I say anything along the lines.
Sherri: You didn’t have to, isn’t that what unstable women do? That is what you used to so eloquently to ine me.
Romain: I might have said some things I didn’t mean that night.
Sherri: Oh, you meant them and it was quite refreshing, it was a draft of honesty-- something I liked about you when I first met you, but suddenly disappeared when North Dakota crept into our lives.
Romain: and once again you bring up North Dakota.
Sherri: Because that is when everything changed Romain and don’t you dare pretend otherwise.
Garrettlyn: You know my name, why don’t you tell me yours?
Romeo: That’s all in due time!
Garrettlyn: Well, I don’t have “due” time or time for your shenanigans. How do I even know you know Dylan?
Romeo: Who else would have been desperately trying to keep you away from the broken-hearted Christian LeBlanc at all costs?
Garrettlyn: So you’re another one of Dylan’s partners in crime?
Romeo: More like he worked for me, but then got distracted by his problems with you and messed up a lot of my plans. So now I have a score to settle with him, you can warn him of that intent. I also have another message I want you to deliver.
Garrettlyn: Do I look like your errand girl?
Romeo: No, but if you want to give your friends a fair warning of what’s ahead, you will listen closely to every word I have to say.
***Romain: So I am supposed to take the blame for our relationship derailing?
Sherri: I didn’t say that, I just said not to pretend that our problems didn’t start the minute you started taking mysterious trips to North Dakota.
Romain: Trip, it was one trip and you’re blowing it way out of proportion.
Sherri: Really, one trip and what were you doing there, Romain? Oh, I forgot, that’s top secret. Tell me, why are you being so secretive about your reasons for being there? Is there something there you are trying to cover up, is that it? Do you have a couple of skeletons in your past buried there that you don’t want anyone else to know about?
(<- North Dakota ->)
Kristen: I don’t like what I am hearing Dane; this is very unhealthy for you.
Dane: I don’t give a hoot; I can’t change how I feel.
Kristen: Yes, but your handle on those feelings should have improved by now.
Dane: It was until I saw his face again.
Kristen: I was afraid of that, I’m very afraid that you are allowing yourself to get mixed up in his life again and that’s very dangerous!
(<- Hallandale, Massachusetts: Showtime Limits Agency ->)
Lacreasha: First of all, get over yourself. I did not do this because I wanted some kind of power over you. I did it because it was far more damaging at the time. I mean, you were obsessed with Leonard and couldn’t let him go for more than 30 seconds. Could you have really handled learning he was your brother?
Rochelle: So you thought it was better that I hate my brother instead? In the mean time, you stood by and let me get closer to Leonard knowing the truth, knowing the moral standards that would have been crossed if we went too far, god knows I have kissed him so many times.
Lacreasha: I took measures to make sure it didn’t go beyond that stage.
Rochelle: Yeah, you debased yourself, your beliefs, your values and your moral stature by sleeping with a man you despised all because you didn’t think I could handle the truth.
Lacreasha: Would you? I mean, how much could a woman who’s tried to commit suicide handle?
***Rochelle: That is an exceedingly low blow.
Lacreasha: Well, you know what, I don’t care. I’m so sick of you, sick physically and mentally. My god, living up to your moral standards is enough to make sick because in your eyes, I am only capable of doing wrong. Well, brace yourself because I don’t have to live under that scrutiny any longer. I have a life and I have someone waiting for me at night, I don’t come home to a bed that’s frigid cold.
Rochelle: How dare you?
Lacreasha: There’s your moral indignation again, but guess what? (ecstatic tone) I’m immune because I don’t give a damn anymore what you think, I am finally free from the likes of you.
Dylan: I thought you had left by now and caught up with Jennifer.
Brian: No, by the time I got to the parking lot, she was long gone.
Dylan: So what are you doing now?
Brian: Looking over some possible real estate prospects?
Dylan: You really think you have the skill for the business?
Brian: Well, I earned my degree and I certainly received the knowledge and experience. I definitely have more financial backing than I had months ago. So I don’t think there is anything that can get in my way. (concluding with a smile and walks off with portfolio)
Frankie: Here’s your drink!
Romain: Thanks, it sure took you people long enough. (turning back to Sherri) Well Sherri, it’s been swell talking to you, but I have to run.
Sherri: (suspicious manner) Just when the conversation was getting interesting.
Romain: Well, your questions are always certainly to the point, but I see no reason for me to have to justify anything to you. After all, we’re no longer an item, but good night. (flashes a smile before departing)
Sherri: (grunts) Get me something strong now!
Jennifer: Hi Garrett, were you just leaving?
Garrettlyn: As a matter of fact, I was, but I am glad I ran into you. I met this strange young man tonight and he wanted me to deliver you this message. (hands her a folded piece of paper)
Jennifer: Did he say who he was?
Garrettlyn: No, he made it clear though that I would know in “due” time, but maybe its mentioned in his note.
Jennifer: (opens the note) “The past seems much clearer in the night.” No, but I am curious to know why someone would send me this and what it means?
Garrettlyn: (frustrated expression and tone) I don’t know, sounds pretty ominous! Whoever this man is, he knows too much about me for my own comfort and the first chance I get, Dylan’s going to answer for it!
Garrettlyn: What the hell do you think you are doing to my life? (~)
Dana: I think it’s time we tell Crystal what we found out in the Palisades! (~)
Joy: (shocking the courthouse) We call Widlin Pierre to the stand.
