193: The Moment when Your Past Catches up to YOU!

Genoa City Memorial

Lily walks into Neil’s room.

Lily: Dad, Aunt Olivia says your awake now.

Lily pauses when she sees Leslie sitting on the bed with Neil. Leslie gets up and turns around to look at Lily. Neil looks confused at Lily as his heart rate increases.

Lily: Dad what’s going on? What’s wrong with him Leslie?

Leslie looks at Neil and can see he is starting to sweat and his heart rate is increasing.

Leslie: Neil, we are gonna give you some rest. I’ll send the doctor in here to give you something to help you sleep. It’s getting late and you been through a lot. 

She grabs his hand and squeezes.

Leslie grabs Lily and pulls her outside.

Lily: Leslie what just happened in there? Where is my mother?

Leslie: Lily I don’t know where your mother is. I’m sorry to be the one who has to tell you that Neil has amnesia from being shot.

Lily: How would he have amnesia, he was shot in the chest, not in the head.

Leslie: Emotional trauma has brought this on. He does not remember his past. Judging by his reaction he doesn’t know who you are. Neil had the same reaction with Dru.

Lily: So... wait my mother knows about this?

Leslie: Yes.

Lily: Can my life get any worse. I’m on a nonstop roller coaster ride.

Leslie: I’m so sorry Lily.

Lily: My kids have been sold for drugs thanks to my now deceased husband Cane and my father was shot in the chest by his own brother not to mention my cousin Nate switched Moses' paternity results from Malcom to Neil and now Moses is missing too. I can’t take much more.

Leslie: Your gonna have to be strong Lily. There is more.

Lily: You’re kidding me? It gets worse?

Leslie: Again I’m so sorry to tell you this. Neil is a paraplegic. He can’t walk nor feel his legs.

Lily gets weak at the knees and almost faints but Leslie catches her.

Leslie: Are you ok?

Lily: No I think I need to sit down. This is too much.

Leslie: It is but let’s be thankful your father is alive.

Lily: I don’t understand why my mother is not here or why she could not have told me any of this. She’s the one who dragged me out the house.

Leslie sits down with Lily.

Leslie: I don’t know. Your mother and I don’t see eye to eye.
Lily: Over my dad?

Leslie: Yes. Your dad remembers me but nothing else from his past. He doesn’t even know that Malcolm shot him. He refers to him as some strange man.

Lily breaks down and cries. Leslie holds her.

Leslie: Is there anything I can do Lily?

Lily: Yes, Ask God why is all of this happening to my family…

Midtown Genoa City, GC Nights

Tyler looks at Dru with a confusion on his face.

Tyler: That’s kinda random. You were presumed dead?

Dru takes a sip of her drink.

Dru: Yes but that is a story to talk about another time. I came here to get my mind off my life right now. Nothing is going right for me since I got back.

Tyler: Well let that drink be on the house. I hope things get better for you.

Dru: This free drink is certainly helping.

Then a man takes a seat next to Dru.

Tyler: What can I get for you man?

                “A glass of Hennessey.”

Upon hearing the man’s voice Dru realizes she recognizes it. She looks up and looks at the man. The man looks at her.

Dru: Say it ain’t so, Spencer Walsh is that you?

Spencer: Drucilla Barber. Still beautiful as ever.

Dru: It’s Winters now. I’m married these days.

Spencer: Good for you old friend.

They embrace.

Chicago, Ill

Golden Times Nursing home.

Karynn stumbling, leads her Genoa City crew, though tad drunken from the beer she just inhaled before walking into the care facility.

Nina whispers to Chance: Look at how’s she’s walking. This is embarrassing.

Chance: Mom please don’t start. We don’t need to get Karynn roused up. Despite her being drunk this is hard for her. Seeing her brother Karl.

Esther speeds up to walk beside Karynn and she grabs her hand so that Karynn can gain her balance.

Karynn looks at Esther and smiles.

Karynn: Thank you Essie. I couldn’t do this without you. You are a good friend. I just don’t know what I am going to find when I walk into his room. Karl is very sickly. I pray there will be something to have hope about with his condition.

Esther: Just keep the faith your sister Katherine would say. She’s with you Mrs. Sheppard. Walking on the other side of you.

Karynn sheds a tear and pulls Esther in for a hug.

Garrett: Well would you look at that. Karynn has finally cracked. My Kary still has a heart. Those beers get you emotional.

Karynn spins around and looks at Garret with content in her eyes.

Karynn: You always did know how to ruin a nice moment didn’t you sponge bob crusty pants?

Garrett: Not when we were making love.

Nina and Esther scoffs.

Karynn: Pig!

Garrett gives Karynn a wide smile flashing his pearly white teeth.

Karynn turns around toward the direction she was walking in. Esther points to room with Karl’s name on it.

A few nurse’s aide rush past the GC crowd and into Karl’s room.

Karynn takes a deep breath.

Karynn: What will I find inside my brother’s room?

She takes another deep breath and begins to enter her brother’s room.

Nina to Chance: She surely knows how to bring the dramatics. This is gut wrenching. Maybe Karynn really does have a heart.

Chance: I just hope Karl is ok.

Downtown GC, Police Headquarters

Lily stands outside as the wind blows fresh cool air from Canada. Lily shivers and buttons up her coat. She pulls out her cell phone to look at the time. She looks unto the well-lit parking lot.

Lily: Come on I need you!

She says as she becomes impatient. Then a car pulls up and parks next to her.

It’s Daniel. He gets out his car rushes toward Lily. They hug. Lily breaks down in tears.

Daniel: I got over here as soon as I could.

Lily: Thank you. I knew I could count on you.

He smiles at her as he wipes away her tears.

She smiles at him.

Lily: Where’s Lucy?

Daniel: Mom is watching her at the house.

Lily: I didn’t mean to pull you away from your daughter.

Daniel: It’s ok. It’s a good thing my mom is staying with me at the moment.

Lily: I wanted to apologize on behalf of my mother for what happened at the hospital the night she returned.

Daniel: You mean the fight your mom and my mom had.

Lily: Yes. Mom blames Phyllis for pushing her off that cliff. She swears by it.

Daniel: And my mother claims it was Dru being clumsy.

Lily: I was there at that photo shoot and I was not looking. I wish I had been. The only thing I saw after I heard my mom scream, was her arms wailing as she went flying over that cliff. I’ll never forget that sight or her screams.

Daniel remembers what his mother was telling him about Dru. Phyllis has something over Dru. Daniel has a distant look in his eyes. Lily takes notice.

Lily: Daniel what is it?

Daniel: Nothing let’s move past this. You called me down here to the police station does Paul have something on your missing twins?

Lily: No he said it was about Cane.

Daniel: Cane? I wonder what’s up.

Lily: I just couldn’t handle this by myself. I don’t know where mom is and I just learned my dad has amnesia and is a paraplegic. He doesn’t know who I am. He doesn’t know I’m his daughter.  I’m so lost right now Daniel.

She goes into a crying fit. Daniel pulls her into a tight embrace.

Back in Genoa City, GC Nights

Dru and Spencer pull out of their embrace.

Spencer: I thought I read you died falling over that cliff at the photo shoot.

Dru: No no no. I was pushed by the Bitch Phyllis Newman. Yea I went over that cliff. But I survived and    it’s been one hell of a journey to get back here.

Spencer: Whatever kind of hell you’ve been through you still are a diamond.

Dru: Well you know what they say, black doesn’t crack.

Spencer: Did you say your last name was Winters?

Dru: Yes. My husband is Neil Winters.

Spencer: Neil Winters is your husband?

Dru: Yes now what of it?

Spencer: Leslie is with Neil.

Dru: Leslie? You know Leslie?

Spencer: I take it you do too. Dru please tell me you didn’t attack Leslie. I know how you used to get down back in high school.

Dru: No I didn’t whoop her ass but if she don’t watch out I will. My husband has amnesia and doesn’t even know who I am. But he knows who Les is. Crime shame. I fought all this way and time to reunite with my family only to have my husband not know who I am.

Dru takes a drink.

Spencer: So what brings you here tonight?

Dru: I had to get my mind of my so called husband and your Leslie. It hurts knowing my husband prefers Leslie to me. We have a family together.

Spencer: I would be too. Life comes at you and smacks you in the face sometimes.

Dru: I know right. What brought you here tonight and what have you been doing with yourself? Better yet how do you know Miss Leslie?

Spencer: I got fired from my job tonight thanks yet again to that old ass Victor Newman.

He says in disappointment and takes another drink.

Dru: Victor Newman. I look forward in seeing him. You don’t mess with Victor Newman that is one thing I know.

Spencer: Victor can’t get away with what he’s done to me. He will pay one day, somehow.

Dru: What did he do to you?

Spencer: He tried to black mail into dropping the state’s case against him with information on my family.

Dru: Your family? Oh you’re married?

Spencer: No nothing like that. He exposed the fact that Leslie and I used to be involved and we have a daughter, Roxanne.

Dru: Oh hell naw. What chu’ sey’? You and Leslie used to be involved and you have a daughter? Yes I need to hear about the goods on Miss Leslie.

Dru orders another drink and looks at Spencer waiting to hear more about his baby’s momma Leslie.

Going to Chicago, Golden Times LTC

Karynn with Esther by her side walks into Karl’s room. There on two nurses aids on his right fixing his covers and a red head nurse aid catches Karynn’s attention as the Chancellor family pile into the room.

Karynn looks at the red headed nurse’s aid, who stands out from the other two nurse aids. She’s wearing a low cut, work top with the shoulders cut out and v cut going down her cleavage exposes a lot. The red head is wearing bring red lips stick. She assists positioning Karl into a comfortable position in the bed.

Karynn: It’s can’t be!

The red head looks up at Karynn.

                “No it’s can’t be you. My God no!”

Garret: Say it ain’t so. Kitten is that you?

Nina and Chance look at each other in confusion.

Esther: Did he just say kitten? I’m allergic to cats Miss. Shepard.

Karynn storms up to the red head “Kitten” and slaps her in the face.

Red Head: How dare you?

The read head slaps her back.

Karynn: You don’t hit your mother you dirty whore!

Karynn slaps Kitten again.

Chance: Karynn just said she was her mother?

Garret: Yes lawd. That’s Karynn’s daughter Kitten.

Nina: But they are slapping each other around.

Chance: What the hell is going on?

Garrett: Get ready, this is only the beginning.

Esther, Nina Chance, and Garret all continue to look on in shock as Karynn and her daughter Kitten continue to slap one another across the face, clearly no love lost here.
