Previously on "The Mysteries of Our Lives": Spring of Devastation 
Devon:  I find it odd that someone is dreaming about a man she hasn't seen or heard from in 13 years or so. 
Widlin:  I have no idea what you are talking about...I've been honest... 
Devon: (voicing too himself) If it's one thing I know for sure-- it is that you're lying. (~) 
Kendall:  You're an up and coming model, so you're going to be the focal of the media and they will start trying to find out everything there is to know about you.  Then they will uncover what happened in Europe... 
Jacquez:  No one will know what happened in Europe or to Pheonix Descartes. (~) 
Lacreasha: (moving with him as the music plays) This music is lovely. 
Kyle:  It would be even lovelier if you said yes...to marriage. 
***Leigha: (closing the door abruptly but quietly) Quick, everyone hide, their coming. 
Lacreasha: (preparing to open the office door) I can't wait to show off my ring. 
Kyle: (he stops her before she can turn the knob) Well, where do you think you're going?  (he then lifts her up over his arms) 
Lacreasha:  (she smiles) What are you doing? 
Kyle:  I think we should practice before the big day.  (he then props the door open, carrying her over the threshold as he flicks the light switch) 
All:  Surprise!  (Anton, Malina, Rebecca, Kelley, and Leigha shout;  jumping out of their hiding places at the stunned newly engaged couple, who then smile at the warm homecoming) 
(<- Hunks & Beauty Fashions International ->) 
Michelle:  (standing near Stephen when Danielle abruptly shuts the door behind her, trying to shake the cold out of her) Hi, Danielle! 
Danielle:  God, we must be experiencing some spring chill.  So what's going on?  I thought we had a couple days off to refresh before the big show next month. 
Michelle:  There's been a change of plans.  Stephen will explain once everyone gets here. 
Danielle:  (turning around at the sound of Vanessa's chuckle, with Lucien and Jacquez straddling behind her) Well, it looks like everyone is here.  (She then steps aside as the gang approaches, Michelle follows) 
Michelle:  Is everything alright? 
Danielle:  (thrown by the question) Why wouldn't it be? 
Michelle:  You just seem a little tense when you saw Vanessa. 
Danielle:  Let's just say I had almost all I can take from Ms. Manthroll.  (she leaves Michelle with that thought as she goes back over to greet everyone, Michelle soon brushes it off and follows) 
(<- El Club de Moniasis ->) 
Widlin:  (straddling into the club, she makes her way over to the bar, where she places both hands in the center) Hi.  Can I get a club soda, very dry, please? 
Frankie:  Sure!  (he heads into the back of the bar, Widlin then turns her attention to the rest of the club) 
Sandy:  (sitting down with Darron, not noticing Widlin at the bar, who has turned back as Frankie comes back with her drink) Thanks for meeting me, I just couldn't believe the way she was blaming me for everything that happened with her and Romain. 
Darron:  Well, I did warn you that this would ultimately blow up-- 
Sandy: (interceding) I know and I don't need to hear it again.  I just don't understand this.  (she takes a moment to think) Has Romain confronted you about what happened? 
Darron:  No, but I imagine he's been busy with this epidemic that's supposedly going around. 
(<- Leysdale Hospital ->) 
Samantha:  (walking toward the lab table where Delilah sits) You think you know what this is? 
Delilah:  Well, I don't have a specific name, but it definitely has the remedies of a poison. 
Samantha:  A poison? 
*Theme Song*
Kyle: (retaining the grin on his face) What's going on? 
Leigha:  Well, we heard you guys were coming back from Paris today and decided to give you a surprise welcome party. 
Malina: (standing closely behind Anton, hanging onto his shoulder) Welcome back. 
Lacreasha: (becoming squirmish, she glances at Kyle) I think this is the perfect time. 
Kelley:  For what? 
Kyle:  My fiancée's right, this is a great time.  You can all congratulate us. 
Leigha:  Did he say fiancée? 
Kyle:  Yes, your hearing doesn't deceive you Leigha, we're getting married.  (he smiles, bring Lacreasha into his arms, leaving his guests speechless) 
(<- El Club de Moniasis ->) 
Frankie:  Can I get you anything else? 
Widlin: (smile) No, no thank you! 
Devon:  (walking up behind her as Frankie smiles back at Widlin and departs) Quite a convincing smile.  (his voice stirs Widlin) I knew we were bound to meet up with one another, but so soon. (Widlin turns to his grinning face) Well, aren't you going to invite me to join you? 
Widlin:  What are you doing here? 
Devon:  It's a public place, I came to get something-- to drink and I really hate drinking alone. 
Widlin:  That's too bad! (She gives a sarcastic grin as she walks away) 
Darron:  Well, what did you get out of Sherri? 
Sandy:  Not much, she was too busy dishing out accusations and telling me to butt out. 
Darron:  Yeah, Romain told me that she has a very short fuse.  You must have messed her up pretty good in Coral Springs. 
Sandy:  (flatly) Thank you, that's very comforting. 
Darron:  Sorry, I'm not trying to add salt to any wounds, but it would explain her lack of willingness to trust so deeply. 
Sandy:  So you're a therapist now? 
Darron:  It doesn't take a therapist to realize when someone has been hurt so deeply that they would do anything to destroy something that appears to be bringing them happiness. 
Sandy: (listening attentively) Are you sure you're not speaking from experience? 
Devon:  So you're turning me down?  (he queries as she hands her payment to Frankie) 
Widlin:  I'm afraid I've reached my drinking quota.  Maybe next time. 
Devon:  (voicing as Widlin proceeds a couple inches to the exit) You know something about my brother's death.  I know it and you know it.  So don't think you can keep on avoiding me. 
***Romain:  My sentiments exactly.  (bypassing Samantha) How is this thing a poison? It has been spreading like the outbreak of some infection. 
Delilah:  Exactly, which is why we should start looking local.  (Romain and Samantha baffled by the reply) 
(<- El Club de Moniasis ->) 
Widlin:  How dare you insinuate I know something about your brother's death or that my leaving has anything to do with you, I've been-- 
Devon: (feeling in the pause) Go ahead, say it.  "You've been honest,"  I am really starting to wonder. 
Widlin:  You have no proof of your claims. 
Devon:  I have your actions and believe me, they speak for themselves. (Widlin scoffs) 
Frankie:  Would you both like to take that outside? (Widlin and Devon remain quiet) Then cool it. 
Widlin:  (following Devon as he moves into a corner) You have no right to pass any kind of judgment on me.  You have no idea who I am. 
Devon:  Maybe you're right, but I do know that you were enjoying a drink here this afternoon and that one little invitation from me scared you into fleeing.  Now, from where I'm standing, that doesn't seem very innocent to me. 
(<- Hunks & Beauty Fashions International ->) 
Danielle: (running her fingers through her hair restlessly) Okay, what is this all about? 
Stephen:  We have just been offered a spectacular opportunity, one that may forward all of our careers. 
Lucien:  What kind of offer and from whom? 
Stephen:  Illusion Magazine wants us to do a spread, a cover spread, in fact.  Including a full-featured interview with all of us about the upcoming fashion show and its attractions. 
Michelle:  Which is also a great way to market our concept of romance and illusion, get people out there talking about us.  With you three posed together, we should be able to entice them enough to read the story and leave them begging for more. 
Jacquez:  That's a great promotional pitch and all, but there's one problem. 
Michelle:  What's that? 
Jacquez:  I won't be doing any such thing.  (Danielle turns to him, skeptical of what she has just heard as Lucien and Michelle remain at a loss, Vanessa looks ready to implode) 
***Leigha:  (following as Anton and Malina exit, she kisses Kyle on the cheek and surprises Lacreasha with a hug) Congratulations and good luck.  (She smiles and then leaves) 
Kelley:  (extending his hand out to Kyle for a handshake) My man, finally pop the question, I've been wondering when you were finally going to get the nerve.  Hopefully it won't take as long for you to set the date for the wedding.  (the group laughs together) Congratulations to you both-- bye.  (Lacreasha and Kyle simultaneously say goodbye as Kelley departs) 
Rebecca:  One word of wisdom that I learned from being married, "Without trust, there is no marriage."  So may you both trust each other enough when you finally walk down that isle.  I hope it works out for you both. 
Lacreasha:  Thank you, Rebecca. 
Rebecca:  You're welcome, I'll see you both around.  Bye!  (Lacreasha and Kyle reciprocate the goodbye as she leaves) 
Lacreasha:  Whoo!  That was quite intense.  (moving over to face her fiancée) 
Kyle:  That's because we're finally where we want to be. 
(<- Hunks & Beauty Fashions International ->) 
Michelle:  What do you mean, "You won't be doing any such thing?" 
Jacquez:  My contract strictly says no magazines.  Danielle and Lucien will have to go at this shoot alone. 
Michelle:  You can't make any allowances. 
Jacquez:  Sorry, to tell you the truth, I'm questioning whether or not I should be in this show at all.  Lucien and Danielle have been working on this a whole lot longer than I have and when the magazine hits the stand, that is who they are going to expect.  So I think I should drop out all together. 
Vanessa:  No, you can't do that! (not realizing she just blurted it out until all eyes became fixated on her) 
(<- El Club de Moniasis ->) 
Darron: (stating adamantly) I have no trust issues. 
Sandy:  Sorry, it wasn't my intention to offend you. 
Darron:  No, I'm sorry, its just that I have been with women like Sherri, it's not easy. 
Widlin:  It's nice to see you have all my actions under microscope. 
Devon:  Does that worry you? 
Widlin:  No, it does not because I had nothing to do with your brother's death. 
Devon:  I never said you did.  (Widlin eyes become tense) So why would you say you didn't? 
***Widlin:  When I said I had nothing to do with your brother's death, I meant I had no part in it.  I know no details concerning the event. 
Devon:  I wouldn't call my brother's murder an event and I don't think you are as clueless as you would like me to believe. 
Darron:  Do yourself a favor, stop wasting your time trying to save someone from themself, it is pointless. 
Sandy:  Normally, I would agree, but this is my sister and I can't stand by and watch her ruin her life. 
Darron:  But it is her life to ruin and in the end, that's the greatest gift you can give her. 
Sandy:  (voice breaks for a moment, but then clears up) Well, that doesn't sound like a gift, it sounds like a death sentence and to issue that is like sentencing her to life in hell. 
Darron:  and do you feel its up to you to make sure that doesn't happen-- because it is not.  It is not your responsibility to open her eyes.  She has to do that.  She has to want to. 
Sandy:  I know that you are right, but maybe I can get someone else to do it with her.  (she then jumps from the table) 
Darron:  Where are you going? 
Sandy: (rushing off) I'll explain later.  (Darron shakes his head as if anticipating trouble) 
(<- Hallandale Country Club ->) 
Leigha:  I didn't realize you were in my aerobics class. 
Beau:  I guess it took being recognized as Anton's cousin for you to notice me. 
Leigha:  Believe me, I think I would have noticed you sooner or later. 
Brock: (walking toward the vicinity of Leigha and Beau) I can't believe Robin lied to you about being pregnant.  I mean, it is so unlike her. 
Jay:  I know, the whole situation really has thrown me for a loop.  But I love her and so I'm going to try to move past it. 
Brock:  Well, that's-- (spying Leigha and Beau upon hearing her laughter) I don't believe it, the woman has no shame. 
Jay:  What?  Who? 
Brock:  Ms. Gray and I'm going to put a stop to it. 
Jay:  No-- (his action prove futile for Brock has already marched off) 
Leigha:  Now that I think about it, I have seen you a couple times outside by the field, playing volleyball with some of the other members. 
Beau:  It's part of my weekly routine, you should join us sometime. 
Leigha:  I would, but I'm a little rusty. 
Beau:  Well, I wouldn't mind giving you a couple of pointers, if that's alright? 
Brock:  I think you're the one that needs some pointers.  Lesson One, I'd be careful with this one (fixating his eyes on Leigha), she has the tendacy to discard men like yesterday's garbage.  (Leigha can't help but grin at the remark) 
(<- Hunks & Beauty Fashions International ->) 
Jacquez:  What do you mean, I can't? 
Vanessa:  No, just that their is always so many projects around here, there is no need for you to feel you have to leave. 
Michelle:  (talking to Stephen in private) Sorry, I completely forgot about that clause. 
Stephen:  No problem, although it is a strange clause, kind of makes you wonder. 
Michelle:  Wonder what? 
Stephen:  Why a renown model doesn't want any media coverage? (Michelle ponders the thought curiously, then turning her attention over to Jacquez with the others) 

Next: 
Romain:  I agree that the situation does ring true with what we're dealing with here, but we're not in Springfield. (~) 
Earl:  Closure is not what I need, what I need is for you to drop this. (~) 
Brock:  I see you in a whole different light than my brother does, I see the havoc that you've caused. (~) 
Widlin:  You're trying to trick me, aren't you?
