Previously on "The Mysteries of Our Lives": Winter of Forbidden EcstasyMatthew: This is the power of something special... and you cannot bury it. (~)
Billy: Evidence that will give me some answers about that fateful night. (~)
Dylan: You don't care?
Jennifer: No, I am done playing these little games of yours!
***Dylan: (walking out into the dining area, putting his hands in his pocket as the doorbell rings) Who is that this late?
Romeo: (showing his face as the door opens) Hey buddy, long time, no see! (letting himself in)
Dylan: (slamming the door) What the hell are you doing here?
Romeo: I take it you heard about my latest events and if not, that's why I'm here, to tell you about my plans for the future.
(<- Crystal's Fantasy & Associates ->)
Frankie: (approaching their table) Good evening, can I take your orders? (glancing at Garrett a couple of times)
Jennifer: (sensing tension) Oh, Brian and I are going to have the dinner special.
Frankie: and you, Garrett?
Garrettyn: I'll have the same.
Frankie: All right, three dinner specials coming up.
Jennifer: What was that all about?
Garrettlyn: With him, you never know.
Jennifer: Well, I definitely sense some electric static between you two.
Garrettlyn: There is nothing going on between Frankie and me.
Jennifer: Well, your attitude with mysterious charmer changed, over night in fact, so forgive me if I'm skeptic. (Garrettlyn scoffs)
(<- Leysdale Hospital ->)
Matthew: My god, you had a vision, didn't you?
Crystal: No, it was a flash, my mind is--
Dana: (intercedes) No, its not! Now what did you see?
Crystal: Nothing, I just heard Billy's voice saying, "you bastard"! (Matthew and Dana look at one another baffled)
(<- Crescent Manor ->)
Billy: (his back against Javier) I am trying to understand Javier how someone could cause this amount of pain.
Javier: Maybe the initial shooter didn't know of the initial pain it would cause.
Billy: (scoffs) The last thing I need to hear is justification for the shooter's motives. The man is a coward because he settled his problems with violence and weapons instead of settling it with words face to face.
Javier: You're reacting as if you know him or her?
Billy: (passionate declaration) Oh, I know him. I am just waiting to see if he has the decency to admit what he did to my face!
Darron: The good doctor drinking between shifts, isn't that inappropriate?
Romain: Only if the hospital board finds out and they won't. So how are you? I can't recall the last time we've spoken to one another-- you're dating the rich, Widlyn Pierre now.
Darron: No, don't even mention her name, it only reminds me of yet another one of my botched relationships.
Romain: You sound like you're giving up on love.
Darron: Or maybe I am just realizing that love may not be for me.
Garrettlyn: I don't find the comparisons at all accurate or dependent of one another. My attitude towards our mysterious stranger is still one of utter dislike, I am just more intrigued by him now.
Jennifer: and Frankie?
Garrettlyn: and Frankie and I are barely passing the first stage, learning to tolerate one another. I hope you're not planning any matchmaking schemes, Jennifer. You are aware that is the same man that tried to rape me?
Jennifer: Of course, but love has resulted in stranger places.
Garrettlyn: No, not going to happen. Besides, I am still not quite over Dylan. (conviction in her tone) Now can we change the subject; Brian, what's been going on with you?
Brian: Well, I just got my real estate license, so now I am looking for possible clients.
Garrettlyn: You can count me in, of course, after my salary starts coming in.
Brian: I'll hold you to that, but for now, I think I am going to settle on a place for housing the business.
(<- Leysdale Hospital ->)
Dana: Why would you have a vision of Billy saying that?
Crystal: I don't know, but it worried me, it was in a tone all too familiar-- rage.
Matthew: Dana, do you have your tarot cards, maybe you can read the visions like you did with my dream?
Dana: Yeah, I just need something of Billy's.
Crystal: (looking down at the bed, finds a glove) Here's one of his gloves.
Dana: (takes the glove) That will do, now let's see if my cards can pick up a vibe.
Crystal: (sighs) I cannot believe that I am looking at tarot cards for answers.
(<- Crescent Manor ->)
Javier: What do you mean, you know him?
Billy: Exactly what the words presume.
Javier: Your shooter's in custody now? I haven't heard anything on the news.
Billy: No! Although I think we both knew that, the shooter is closer than either one of us is willing to admit.
Javier: You have been hinting at something and playing mind games all night Billy, why don't you just say what it is you're trying so hard not too?
Billy: Because it would deny you the pleasure of admitting what you have did yourself.
Javier: Why? Why admit anything when you believe what you know is true?
***Dylan: What the hell are you talking about?
Romeo: Well, I have plans and that means I plan on sticking around Hallandale for a very, very long time. (Dylan unfazed)
Dylan: What the hell do your plans have to do with me?
Romeo: Well, if everything does not go the way I plan, your future will be impacted drastically.
Dylan: You think I am afraid of you?
Romeo: No, but I know one thing you're afraid of and I'll take her in a heartbeat.
(<- Crystal's Fantasy & Associates ->)
Frankie: Here are your orders, three dinner specials. (handing out the dishes) Would you like something to drink?
Brian: A coke for Jennifer and me will be fine. (turning to Jennifer) That's okay with you?
Jennifer: Yeah that will be fine.
Garrettlyn: I'll have a ginger ale. (Jennifer then gives a coy grin)
Jennifer: Frankie, would you like to join us?
Frankie: I would love to, but we're kind of short staffed, maybe another time. (smiles and departs)
Garrettlyn: What do you think you're doing?
Jennifer: I was trying to be courteous, working on a Friday night doesn't exactly strike a high social life.
Brian: Well, I am definitely amazed at how sympathetic you can be towards an attempted rapist and not Dylan.
Jennifer: Well, Dylan is the one that masterminded the whole scheme of things, while Frankie realized the error of his ways and confessed to his wrong doings, has Dylan done that?
Brian: Well, maybe if you give him a chance, he would. But if you're so determined to dislike him, how can he?
Jennifer: (becoming pissed) I have given Dylan ample opportunities and he has blew every one of them, so forgive me if I no longer have the patience. (getting up from the table) Excuse me? (Brian stunned by the scene tilts his head down)
(<- Leysdale Hospital ->)
Dana: Okay, I want you to close your eyes and empty your mind while I am doing the reading.
Crystal: Why? Are there some tricks you don't want me to see? (a moments pause) I'm kidding, do you think your reading will spark an image?
Dana: Yes and I want you to be receptive to all messages.
Crystal: (closes her eyes) All right.
Dana: (waiting a couple seconds) Okay, let's see what's behind door number one. (flips card over and gasp, looking to Matthew)
(<- Crescent Manor ->)
Billy: Listen, you bastard, I have the pictures and now I want your confession.
Javier: Confession? (walking behind him) You think I shot you?
Billy: No, I know you shot me and frankly, I am sick of tiptoeing around the subject. All I want is for you to admit what you did, then finally Crystal can open her eyes to the truth that you're nothing but a coward.
Javier: I only regret I didn't do a thorough job. (Billy becomes dead alert as his eyes fixate on Javier) Maybe the guilt would be less if you were dead because that's what I wanted, I wanted you dead!
***Dana: It's the dark shadow card.
Matthew: Let's not get ahead of ourselves, why don't you pull over another card?
Dana: Okay. (flips another) Recreation-- recreation, dark shadow-- past, recreation of past.
Crystal: (having a vision-->)
Billy: Why did you do it?
Javier: You forced me, you gave me no choice.
Crystal: (reawakening from the vision with a tear in her eye) Oh god, oh god!
(<- Preston Powers Mansion ->)
Dylan: You stay away from Garrett.
Romeo: Don't be hostile. I mean no harm towards her. She is a very beautiful and attractive young women.
Dylan: How does she fit into any of your plans?
Romeo: She doesn't, she was just a means to getting a message to you and Jennifer.
Dylan: Whatever the reason, you have anymore messages, you relay them without the assistance of Garrett. She's been through enough.
Romeo: How sweet, you are still in love with her and maybe you'll have the chance to win her back. I will keep Garrett out of my affairs, but not until you do one last favor for me.
Dylan: Will it guarantee I never see your face again?
Romeo: Possibly, nothing in life is 100% certain.
Dylan: All right, I'm in.
(<- Crystal's Fantasy & Associates ->)
Darron: Maybe I should just stick to my old philosophy that love is for suckers. First, there was Taneia, she didn't like the shady business I was involved in and deep down she didn't think I made the cut as marriage material. Then there was Carmen, we married so her baby could have a name, but the repercussions from our lie was too much for her to live down. Finally, Widlin Pierre, there always seems to be something in the way whether it's her father or her father. (grins)
Romain: Don't tell me you're breaking up with her because of her father?
Darron: No, it's his hold on her, it's sick and until she breaks from it, she won't be happy. Unfortunately, I am not waiting around to see that happen. That's my story-- (pause) so what about you? What brings you here, are things bad between you and Sherri?
Romain: You have no idea and the worst part is its all my fault!
(<- CF & A: Parking Lot ->)
Matthew: (stepping into the car) Where are we going?
Crystal: To Javier's place!
***Darron: Why are you blaming yourself?
Romain: Because I have been so secretive. I have made it clear that there are parts of my life I don't tell anyone.
Darron: Why can't she understand that?
Romain: She feels it shows I don't trust her enough. After the way her relationship ended to her first husband, she's just analytical of things.
Darron: I would wager you are also, the last time you were involved with a woman was Laura Sedwick.
Romain: Yes, Laura. I can't believe things turned out the way they did with her.
Darron: Life is full of surprises, you won't believe what I was doing for the past hour and with whom.
(<- Outside of Crescent Manor ->)
Dana: Would you like us to come with you?
Crystal: No, this is something I think I should do alone. Besides, I think you guys need to be here when you phone the authorities.
Dana: (pondering as Crystal walks into the building) Police?
Matthew: Must have been more to that vision than I gathered!
Dana: (clock strikes 8pm) Oh, I have a feeling you're right.
Javier: (walking out onto the terrace) Are you happy now, you got your confession?
Billy: I take no joy in any of this, I just wanted you to admit what you have done and why you did it and I don't buy because you wanted me dead, I think it's more than that.
Javier: No, not really! I just wanted to be rid of you, I wanted you gone. You ruined things between me and Crystal once and I wasn't about to stand by and see history repeat itself. I had to intervene and I had to stop you. I wanted Crystal and you were ruining everything. I was becoming the outsider and you were becoming the winner all over again and I couldn't live with that, you see, so you forced me, you gave me no choice. I ordered the gun and then I went to find you with Crystal yet again and to severe the connection, I shot.
Crystal: (hearing his confession, she utters in a stunned and shattered tone) My god!
***Darron: I'm serious.
Romain: Well, I guess I can't be surprise, I've seen how tenacious Rochelle can get.
Darron: Working with Rochelle has made me realize what I'm missing in life.
Romain: And what's that-- (beeper sounds off) Oh, that's the hospital.
Darron: That's okay, I'll feel you in while I am driving you to the hospital (Romain stepping up from the stool) Let's go!
Brian: (looking at his watch) Where's Jennifer? She should have been back by now.
Garrett: If I were Jennifer, I would misinterpret that concern for something more.
Brian: (with a smile) But you're not and you're not going to.
Garrett: (snickers) No, but I am genuinely interested in knowing how you feel, do you have romantic feelings for Jennifer?
Frankie: Hey, sorry to interrupt, but Jennifer wanted me to tell you both she had to leave suddenly.
Brian: Thanks for telling us.
Frankie: (departing) No problem!
Brian: That's weird, I wonder where she'd go without telling us.
Jennifer: (looking around) What is this place? Dylan?
Romeo: (coming from behind the shadows) No Dylan here. (Jennifer sensing familiarity in the voice turns and gasps in shock as her eyes become fixated on Romeo)
Crystal: (walking over to the glass door near the terrace) Oh, I can't believe it.
Javier: (voice breaking) I guess I succeeded in getting you to hate me all on my own.
Crystal: (turns away from him and gasps in disgust) I--
Billy: Crystal, are you all right?
Crystal: Please Billy. (facing Javier) I'm shocked, I would have never in a million years believe you were capable of this.
Javier: But I was and I had to live with that on my conscience.
Crystal: I don't care about your conscience. (walking away from the terrace) What you did was deplorable, it makes me sick. (turns away) It makes me sick to even look at you.
Javier: You can't be anymore disgusted with me than I am with myself. I was just so desperate to hold on to you.
Crystal: (turning back to him with conviction in her tone) I was never yours.
Javier: I realize that and that's why I came to the hospital-- to make peace. (facing the balcony) I only hope one day you will know I meant it and be able to forgive me, the both of you. Maybe it will be easier when I'm gone. (Crystal back still turned to him as she gets bewildered expression on her face and suddenly turns to see Javier on the ledge)
Crystal: No!! (Javier body lies glued to the pavement)
