Previously on "The Mysteries of Our Lives": Winter of Forbidden EcstasyBilly: (awe-stricken) Oh...my...god! (~)
Bella: All he said was he had to get some answers. (~)
Malina: Who are we to decide that a man should not receive justice for his murder? (~)
Darron: I got it!
Rochelle: (exhilarant) It's over, Lacreasha!
***Rochelle: (regaining her composure) All right, don't waste anymore time! Grab the folder, shut the safe and get out of there now.
Lacreasha: (walking around the corner with Kyle) You know, after my morning with Rochelle, I think home is the best place to be. (Rochelle ready to keel over at the knowledge of her presence)
(<- Hallandale Courthouse ->)
Anton: We are not deciding that, the justice system has and I'm not sure its wrong.
Malina: Well, if you can say that with a straight face, then you're not the man I thought you were.
Anton: Come on--
Malina: Why are you opening all these doors if you don't plan on doing anything about it?
Anton: Because it concerned me that I could have been right all along and Kavina is innocent. However, after talking it over with you--
Malina: No, don't make me any part of this decision.
Anton: Kavina made the choice to confess to this crime and obviously she felt she could handle the repercussions. So I am not going to reopen this nightmare for everyone when it may finally be coming to an end.
Malina: and what if Kavina's convicted? Could you stand by and see her punished believing she is innocent? (Anton does not give Malina a reassuring expression as Royce comes up)
Royce: Hey, have you guys been out here this entire time? (Royce doesn't let the dead silence faze him) Hopefully, you can tear yourselves away from each other long enough to hear the verdict.
Anton: What?
Royce: Yep, it's judgment day.
(<- Leysdale Hospital ->)
Crystal: I need to find Billy.
Dana: I am sure he's fine. Besides, he's a man and they can take care of themselves.
Bella: I agree. My son is very capable.
Matthew: What we have to say won't take long, it's about our connection.
Crystal: Connection?
Matthew: We have powers given to three unique souls. My father, Dana's mother and your mother were all ensconced with powers of their own. Mystical dreams, tarot masters and phenomenal visions; it has all been past down to their next generation.
Crystal: Are you telling me that my weird flashes are some kind of special power?
(<- Crescent Manor ->)
Billy: (looking at the pictures and becoming sickened) That sick bastard and to think I didn't want to believe it, but here's the proof-- and now he's going down. (turning to an unexpected arrival) Javier, I didn't hear you come in.
Javier: That's funny, I don't remember inviting you in. So what are you doing here?
Robin: Yeah, what happened?
Nurse: Well, you fainted. I guess you were overly excited about the news?
Robin: News?
Nurse: Of your pregnancy, of course!
Robin: You mean its true? (Nurse nods a bit baffled by the question) It can't be, I can't be pregnant, I can't!
Brock: Hey Jay, what's going on?
Jay: Waiting for my wife, although she's been gone awhile.
Brock: Well, everything's all right with Robin, isn't it?
Jay: Yeah, she's fine if you call 9 months or so of over-active hormones raging fine.
Brock: What?
Jay: I may be getting ahead of myself, but it's very possible I could be a father soon.
(<- Evercrest Gardens Palace ->)
Darron: (responding to Rochelle shutting the door) What the--
Rochelle: Lacreasha, Kyle. (attempting to hide her sarcasm as much as possible) You are just the two people I wanted to see.
Darron: Oh Damn. (begins searching for another exit)
Lacreasha: Is there anywhere on this planet where I don't have to worry about seeing your face.
Kyle: Obviously not!
Lacreasha: (overcoming her distress) Wait a minute, what the hell are you doing here or don't I already know the answer to that? (Rochelle gives a coy smile)
(<- Hallandale Courthouse ->)
Bailiff: Will the defendant please rise? (Kavina stands strongly) We have reached a verdict regarding you, the defendant Kavina Shah, in the murder of Leonard Stone. In the charge of murder in the 2nd degree, the jury finds you-- not guilty. In the charge of murder in the 1st degree, the jury finds you not guilty and (Kavina sighs in relief) therefore rule that you were not in a normal state of mind when you murdered Leonard Stone!
Dean: (muttering to himself) That is a load of bull. I can't believe this is happening. (watching as Anton, Royce and friends rejoice for Kavina)
Judge: Control yourselves, these proceedings are not over.
Dean: (stating firmly within) That you are right about, its far from over!
***Matthew: I'm aware that it sounds a bit disturbing to hear.
Crystal: I don't think that is an appropriate word in this case.
Dana: So you have never found yourself having overwhelming senses of evil and danger, or flashes as you put it, of things you never seen before?
Crystal: Okay, I've had my fair share of them in the past, but I wrapped it all up to my brain working overtime.
Matthew: This is no dysfunction, that's what critics wants us to believe. This is the power of something special given to us. It's our purpose on earth and you might be able to ignore it and you shouldn't, but you cannot bury it.
(<- Crescent Manor ->)
Billy: What am I doing here-- that's kind of hard to explain.
Javier: Try me.
Billy: (pausing between each word, trying to think carefully about how much to give away) Well, I'm looking for evidence.
Javier: Evidence, for what?
Billy: Evidence that will give me some answers about that fateful night.
Javier: and why would that bring you to my apartment?
Billy: Because I have a feeling all the answers are here! (a chill goes down Javier's spine)
(<- Evercrest Gardens Palace ->)
Rochelle: Oh, its no mystery!
Lacreasha: It is to me and I mean the reason you're here when you knew I was in Kyle's office, but then that was the point of your visit, wasn't it?
Rochelle: I'm afraid I have no idea what you're talking about as usual.
Lacreasha: You know exactly what I'm referring to, you figured with me and Kyle at the office, this would be the perfect time to get your hands on those papers without either of us ever being the wiser. Unfortunately, your little plans have hit a snag.
Rochelle: You know what, I am not going to lie because you're right.
(<- Hallandale Courthouse ->)
Judge: Mrs. Shah, you will be reprimanded to a stress management facility for a maximum term of 180 days or an equivalence of 6 months, where you will then be evaluated to see if further management needs to be done. At that point you will be appointed a court appointed psychiatrist to deal with the feelings that led to the unforeseen consequences of Leonard's murder. Do you understand the terms of your sentence?
Dean: (thinking aloud) I can't take another minute of this injustice. (storming out of the courtroom)
Malina: Looks like everyone is not as thrill as you, Kendall and Royce.
Anton: Would you prefer she is convicted?
Kavina: Yes, I understand your honor.
Judge: Okay, then as of 6:30pm, this court is adjourned and this case if officially closed.
Kavina: (gavel pounds) I can't believe how easy the judge was on the sentence.
Royce: I guess the jury's consensus carried a lot of weight on the ordeal you have been through.
Kendall: I am so happy for you, I only hope that you will become yourself again soon.
Kavina: I do too! (smiles accordingly as a suspicious Malina looks on)
***Lacreasha: You say it like its no big deal.
Rochelle: I was going after something that rightfully belongs to me and for that, I am not going to lie. Besides, it takes so much out of you trying to think of a plausible lie when the truth would suffice, but you wouldn't know about that, would you?
Lacreasha: It really amazes me that you can justify your actions as being noble when we both know they were not. You just want your hands on those papers to keep them from Dean. Tell me, how do you justify keeping the truth from him?
Rochelle: I don't need to explain myself to you.
Lacreasha: Well, you do need to get out of this resort, in fact, get away from me. I told you I want you out of my life and I meant it.
Rochelle: Prove it, give me the papers and I'm gone!
(<- Leysdale Hospital ->)
Brock: Well, I hope you get what you're wishing for, someone should be enjoying married life around here. Have you seen Samantha?
Jay: No, not in a while!
Brock: (hint of frustration) Figures!
Jay: Are you and Samantha having problems?
Brock: No, I guess I just have too much free time on my hands.
Jay: Business slow at the clinic?
Brock: Is it ever, not much to bury yourself in around this time of year.
Jay: Well, I hope you know if you ever need a friend, I'm usually around.
Brock: Thanks man-- (taps him on the shoulder and vacates after wishing him good luck) good luck.
Nurse: I'm sorry, its no mistake!
Robin: How could this happen though? I used protection, I was on the pill. I took every precaution known to man.
Nurse: Perhaps Mother Nature felt it was time?
Robin: Time? How does one decide such a thing? (deluding herself) No, your tests are wrong and if not, then we have a huge problem.
Nurse: I think you're the one with the problem, you don't want to be pregnant.
Dana: This power we have is not a bad thing, we can help people in a way that no one else can.
Matthew: Yes and if used properly, we can stop tragedies, all you have to do is be ready to embrace.
Crystal: Yeah, well I wasn't in a very embracing mood when I got a flash of murder and then learned it was Leonard Stone's.
Matthew: It takes time to learn to control them and not all your visions will come out at will.
Dana: That's for sure, I have found many answers when I wasn't searching for them.
Crystal: Well, my powers must be limited because I haven't had many of them since the bombing that left my face scarred. Look, I really think this needs to wait because I want to find Billy.
Dana: (asking out of curiosity) Do you feel it is important you find him now?
***Crystal: I don't know, do you think its important to find the man you love when he disappears from the hospital without being signed out?
Dana: So you're worried?
Crystal: I am just concerned, my boyfriend was having some pretty insane thoughts before he left the hospital this morning.
Matthew: Thoughts about?
Crystal: It doesn't matter, what matters is finding Billy. (sarcastic tone) Then I suppose I can embrace my need to find him and-- (Flash-> Billy: You bastard!) Oh my god!
Javier: What answers? About what, exactly?
Billy: About the night a sick, twisted, jealous son of a bitch decided to use me for target practice. I guess I should be lucky he got me instead, I mean, he could have shot Crystal. Then again, I'm sure she felt he might as well have, seeing me lying in that hospital bed day after day, not knowing if and when I would recover.
Javier: Don't say that.
Billy: Well, you saw Crystal during that time, you must have seen how lost she was.
Javier: Why are you telling me this?
Billy: I guess I am just trying to understand Javier how someone could cause this amount of pain?
(walks off to the side with a grin, tightening the noose around Javier's neck)
Lacreasha: The only one I see benefiting from this transaction is you.
Rochelle: So do you, I will disappear from your life like you say you want.
Lacreasha: Well, it's true that freedom from your self-righteousness would make my life quite comfortable and holding onto those papers will only ensure you're still apart of it.
Rochelle: Do I hear a deal in the making?
Lacreasha: You become the plague and you can have those papers.
Rochelle: All right, no problem!
Lacreasha: (opens the door) Then I'll get those papers for you.
Darron: (Rochelle then realizes Darron is still inside, but is too late) No need Lacreasha, it's already been done! (Lacreasha then turns to a frazzled Rochelle)
Dean: (looking in the mirror, becomes suddenly furious, tossing a napkin holder) Damn it! (his expression becomes fueled)
Anton: (catching Malina proceeding to the exit) Malina.
Malina: (turns with a strain in her voice) What, Anton?
Anton: You didn't answer my question earlier.
Malina: I don't think you want to know the answer! (walking off)
Royce: (encountering the end of the conversation) What was that all about?
Jay: Hey, there you are!
Robin: Hi.
Jay: (grinning) So?
Robin: So?
Jay: What did the tests show?
Robin: (feeling of discomfort as she notices the change in Jay's face when she tells him the news) I was right, I'm not pregnant!
Matthew: You had a vision, didn't you? (~)
Billy: I am waiting to see if he has the decency to admit what he did...
Javier: Why... when you believe what you know is true. (~)
Dylan: You stay away from Garrett.
Romeo: Not until you do one last thing for me!
