SCENE ONE: SHANE, WHO WAS BELIEVED KILLED DURING  THE EXPLOSION WHEN HE AND STEVE WERE TRYING TO BRING DOWN  COL. JERICHO AND REV. TAYLOR'S SUPREMICIST GROUP, IS ALIVE AND HAS AMNESIA. HE IS WANDERING AROUND WITH A WOMAN NAMED REBECCA.HE WANTS TO GO TO CHICAGO BUT SHE MAKES EXCUSES. SHE POSSIBLY KNOWS WHO HE IS AND DOES NOT WANT HIM TO REMEMBER.

SCENE TWO: A MAN RINGS KAYLA'S DOOR, AND TELLS HER HE IS GOING TO TAKE HER TO  "HER HUSBAND." SHE ASKS IF STEVE SENT HIM. HE REPLIES, "HE NEEDS YOUR *RIGHT* AWAY! THERE'S A PLANE WAITING AT THE AIRPORT TO FLY YOU TO ITALY." SHE WONDERS IF SOMETHING HAPPENED TO HIM. THE MAN TELLS  HER THAT HE KNOWS NOTHING ELSE. SHE AGREES TO GO WITH HIM.

SCENE THREE: KIM IS WITH CAL WINTERS [I BELIEVE THERE AT THE SITE OF THE EXPLOSION]. HE IS DIGGING AND BELIEVES HE HAS FOUND SOMETHING.

SCENE FOUR: JENNIFER  HAS RETURNED WITH EMILIO AFTER INTERVIEWING PEOPLE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.  SHE IS  VERY IMPRESSED WITH THE COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND THEIR WORK HELPING EACH OTHER AND THE NEIGHBORHOOD. "YOUR THE BEST OF ALL!" SHE TELLS HIM. SHE TELLS HIM BECAUSE SINCE CHANGED SO HAS THE NEIGHBORHOOD. WITH SANTOS AND HIS FRIENDS LOCKED UP, EVERYTHING IS SAFER. SHE TELLS HIM SHE IS NOT WORRIED WITH HIM.

MEANWHILE THE GANG MEMBERS ARE WATCHING THEM. HE HOLDS HER. BUT IS SHE ENJOYING IT?

SCENE FIVE: KAYLA IS ON THE PRIVATE PLANE, WAITING TO TAKE OFF. JACK WALKS ON, SURPRISING HER.

KAYLA: Jack.

JACK: Just on five o'clock. We should be leaving in just a minute.

KAYLA: I am not going anywhere with you.

JACK: Kayla, wait a minute. Don't let me stop you from seeing Steve.

KAYLA: Why should I believe you? All you ever do is try to cause me trouble. Why should this be any different.

JACK: Kayla, you used to trust me a long time ago before all of this stuff happened. I want it to be that way again.

JACK: Ah.... um, just a minute. (To Kayla) I'm ready, what about you?

KAYLA: If this is another one of your tricks Jack!

JACK: Kayla, I'll get off this plane right now if it'll convince you to go to Steve. It's up to you.

KAYLA: Alright, I'm ready.

JACK: WE'RE ALL READY! Just think, you'll be seeing Steve. You're going to be together.

SCENE SIX: LATER ON THE PLANE JACK OFFERS KAYLA A GLASS OF WATER.

KAYLA: I don't want it Jack.

JACK: You have to start taking care of yourself.

KAYLA: I don't need you to tell me how to take care of myself.

JACK: Being angry is really doing you a lot of good isn't it?

KAYLA: Well, you tricked me into this Jack. You lied to me and you're not going to get away with it.

JACK: What are you planning to do?

KAYLA: I'm going to tell the pilot to turn this plane around.

JACK: Kayla, you can't get....

JACK REACHES OUT TO HER.

KAYLA: Don't touch me Jack.

JACK: (Pulling back,  remembering the rape he is self-consconscious) Look, we both know how uncomfortable the situation is. How uncomfortable you are with me.

KAYLA: Then why are you arguing with me?

JACK: Because I'm the only one who's helping you. I'm the only one who stood up and said you've got to go to Steve. That is what you want isn't it?

SCENE SEVEN: STILL ON THE PLANE.

JACK: Well, the pilot said we'll be landing in Naples in a couple of minutes.

KAYLA: Well, good. As soon as he lands, he can turn this plane around back to Salem because I'm not getting off this plane.

JACK: After coming all this way?

KAYLA: Against my will. First you make that phone call and then you practically kidnap me.

JACK: That phone call again? Do you mind telling me what that phone call was about?

KAYLA: You know what it's about Jack.

JACK: No, I don't. And for the record I didn't kidnap you. I supplied the plane yes but you came here of your own free will.

KAYLA: Well, you had no right to interfere in my life.

JACK: Kayla, stop using me as an excuse not to talk to Steve about the baby. Yes I will take you back to Salem. That's no problem but since you're here don't you think you should stay long enough just to talk to him. Don't tell him about the baby. Just talk to him.

KAYLA: Alright, I'll stay.

JACK: Good.

JACK PICKS UP THE PHONE.

KAYLA: What are you doing?

JACK: Calling the hotel. Ah (Pronouncing it very poorly) buon giorno. Senora, spraken zi.....er English? Good, good. I'm looking for an American named Steve Johnson. (Beat) Oh, do you know when he'll be back?

JACK: (Cont. He seems a little worried about what he heard and it looks like he tries to hide his reaction from Kayla) Oh okay. I'll call back a little later then.Tank you.

SCENE EIGHT: JACK AND KAYLA ARE NOW AT A RESTAURANT. KAYLA  IS SEATED AT A TABLE,  JACK WALKS IN.

Kayla wonders what Jack's motive is; 25 sec; 1 Meg

JACK: (Looking at Kayla) What!

KAYLA: (Shrugging) Nothing.

JACK: You keep looking at me like that and say, "Nothing."

KAYLA: Alright, if you must know, I'm just trying to figure out why are you doing this.

JACK: I think we already talked about this.

KAYLA: But you don't something unless there's something in it for you.

JACK: That's true. There's always something in it for me. (Thinking, then he mutters) Family.

KAYLA: (Is unsure if she heard correctly) What did you say?

JACK: (Turning to her, not wanting her to know the reason, Jack  gives a little laugh as if realized and finally admitted he does care about being a Johnson) Nothing!

(Changing the subject) Look if you are finished with that, maybe Steve will be back at the hotel.

KAYLA: Alright.

JACK CALLING TO THE WAITER.

KAYLA: Ah, Giuseppe. Ah.... quando, check!

THE WAITER MOTIONS TO HIM.

JACK: (To Kayla) You still don't want to tell him about the baby?

KAYLA: I don't know. I just know I need to see my husband.

SCENE NINE: SOMEWHERE IN THE BAY OF NAPLES STEVE AND MARINA ARE IN A BOAT LOOKING FOR A "KEY." THEY BELIEVE THEY FOUND THE RIGHT COORDINATES. STEVE TELLS HER THERE IS NO "X" MARKING THE SPOT, THEY WILL BE DIVING THROUGHTOUT THE NIGHT.

SCENE TEN: BACK AT THE RESTAURANT JACK RELUCTANTLY IS GIVING A TIP TO THE WAITER.

KAYLA: Jack.

JACK: Look I said that I would pay for it. I brought you here and I'll pay for it. Ready to go?

KAYLA: Not quite.

JACK: Look there is nothing to worry about.

KAYLA: Well, I am worrying so don't tell me not too.

JACK: (Smiling) Just like an old married couple. (Beat) I'm telling you that the only thing Steve is going to be more excited about other than seeing you, is hearing that you're having his baby.

KAYLA: You're probably right.

JACK: I know I'm right.

KAYLA: But ever since that phone call I've had some terrible doubts.

JACK: The one you're saying that I engineered?

KAYLA: Yes.

JACK: Well, my mind is a real fog. I hope that you can refresh it. What was it about?

KAYLA: Well, it was a woman's voice I think. She said that my husband was betraying me.

JACK: I hate to disappoint you but my female impersonations are not very good. I think it was a couple of teenagers on a prank.

KAYLA: I don't know what to think. If it wasn't you, who could it have been?

JACK: I don't know. But worrying about it isn't doing any good.

KAYLA: I can't help it.

JACK: Well, look, as soon as you see Steve, you're going to forget this whole stupid thing ever happened.

KAYLA: I hope so.

JACK: (Under his breath) So do I.

KAYLA LOOKS A BIT WORRIED BUT WHAT SHE MIGHT DISCOVER  WHEN SHE FINDS STEVE, BUT SHE ALSO SEEMS CONFUSED BY JACK, AS IF WONDERING IF HE REALLY DOES CARE.

SCENE ELEVEN: UPSTAIRS IN THE HOTEL, MARINA FAKES HAVING A NIGHTMARE AND CALLS OUT TO STEVE. HE HEARS HER AND COMES RUNNING INTO HER ROOM TO COMFORT HER. SHE IS WEARING A LACE NEGLIGEE AND HE HAS NO SHIRT ON.

AT THAT MOMENT, KAYLA AND JACK ARRIVE AT HER DOOR AND SEE STEVE HOLDING MARINA IN HIS ARMS.

KAYLA IS DEVASTATED RUNS AWAY.JACK FOLLOWS HER.

STEVE TELLS MARINA THAT SHE IS MANIPULATIVE AND LEAVES HER ALONE IN HER ROOM UNAWARE THAT JACK AND KAYLA SAW HIM.

SCENE ONE: KAYLA IS ON THE PHONE TRYING TO ARRANGE A FLIGHT BACK TO SALEM

KAYLA: There's just got to be another flight. Well when is the next flight? What about a charter? (To Jack) What are you doing here?

JACK: I'm trying to keep you from making a big mistake.

KAYLA: The only mistake I made was letting you convince me to come to Italy. Now if you don't mind I have some reservations to make.

JACK: Kayla, I think you should stop for a minute and calm down and think about this.

KAYLA: I want to go home.

JACK: I think maybe.... look we came here to see Steve.

KAYLA: Oh, I think I saw him.

JACK: I don't think so. I don't think we really saw what was happening in that room.

KAYLA: Since when did you become Steve's ally.

JACK: I just think that things are not always what they seem.

KAYLA: Oh, you were there with me Jack. You saw what I saw. What do you think was happening?

JACK: I think maybe you better get a hotel room and get some rest because you're pregnant and you're exhausted.

KAYLA: I am not tired Jack. I am angry and I am hurt and I feel like a part of me has just been ripped out.

JACK: I'm sorry.

KAYLA: Are you.... really?

JACK: I didn't bring you all the way to Italy to see you get hurt like this.

KAYLA: Well, I saw what I saw.

JACK: (Very upset) I think maybe.... just give Steve a chance to explain.

KAYLA: You know Jack, I don't need any more advice or favors from you. All I want to do is go home right now. So you can either help me get to Salem or I'll just do it myself.

JACK: Is there anything I can say or do to change your mind?

KAYLA: No.

KAYLA  WALKS AWAY. JACK LOOKS WORRIED, NOT KNOWING WHAT TO DO TO FIX THINGS.

SCENE  TWO: JACK CALLS TO KAYLA.

JACK: Kayla?

KAYLA: So, are you going to help me Jack or shall I go alone?

JACK: (Getting Emotional) I think you need to give Steve a chance to explain.

JACK: No!.... No! I think he's got to tell you what really happened.

KAYLA: Marina was in Steve's arms and they were in bed together. I don't think that needs much explaining.

JACK: Maybe.... maybe she was sick.

KAYLA: Oh, give me a break Jack.

JACK: Look, what.... whatever we saw, whatever really happened, he's got to know that that's his baby.

KAYLA: I think Steve gave up all his rights when he started lying to me. Look, Steve and I had an understanding. No lies and no secrets. He's broken that trust.

JACK: Kayla.... I

KAYLA: I don't want to see Steve now. I can't. I just want to go home. And if you ever cared about me Jack, please take me home. Please.

JACK: I'll get the plane. I'm taking you home.

JACK WALKS OUT GET THINGS  READY.  KAYLA REMAINS.

KAYLA: (In tears) Home.

SCENE THREE: JACK AND KAYLA ARE ON THE PLANE ON THE WAY BACK TO SALEM. KAYLA HAS FALLEN ASLEEP AND JACK GENTLY TUCKS IN A RUG AROUND HER. SHE IS DREAMING AND CALLS OUT FOR STEVE.

JACK: I'm sorry Kayla. I'm sorry for everything.

KAYLA WAKES UP.

KAYLA: Jack.

JACK: Hi.

KAYLA: Did you say something?

JACK: No. (Beat) Are you okay?

SHE NODS.

JACK: You sure?

SHE NODS AGAIN AND THEY BOTH SIT BACK IN THEIR SEATS CONTEMPLATING WHAT FRIENDS THEY MIGHT HAVE BEEN.

SCENE FOUR: A SHORT TIME LATER KAYLA IS ONCE AGAIN DREAMING ABOUT STEVE. JACK WATCHES HER.

JACK: You didn't do it Steve. I know you didn't do it. You didn't do it.

KAYLA WAKES UP AND HEARS JACK LAST WORDS.

SCENE ONE: [IT IS THE SAME DAY THAT JACK AND KAYLA WENT TO ITALY, BUT ORIGINALLY AIRED ON A DIFFERENT DAY] JENNIFER ENTHUSIASTICALLY ENTERS JACK'S OFFICE, THINKING JACK IS THERE, NOT KNOWING HE LEFT FOR ITALY. SHE SAYS SHE IS READY TO HELP HIM HELP STEVE AND KAYLA. VERN INFORMS HER THAT JACK IS IN ITALY. JENNIFER CANNOT *BELIEVE* IT. SHE WAS SUPPOSE TO HELP HIM WITH HIS CASE. JUST THEN EMILIO ARRIVES.

SCENE TWO: EMILIO WANTS TO KNOW WHY SHE IS SO UPSET. SHE TELLS HIM. WHICH CAUSES HIM TO BECOME MORE UPSET WITH JENNIFER. HE ACCUSES HER OF CARING FOR JACK, AND USING WORK AS AN EXCUSE. JENNIFER SAYS THAT THERE IS *NOTHING* BETWEEN THEM, SHE JUST IS AN EMPLOYEE. HE THINKS SHE CARES TOO MUCH FOR HER BOSS. THE MORE HE PUSHES THE MORE SHE DENIES IT. EMILIO TELLS HER THAT SHE HAS BEEN LEADING HIM ON, BUT THEN ALWAYS RUNS TO BE WITH JACK. HE WANTS THAT TO STOP. HE THEN WONDERS WHY SHE HAD JACK STAY AT HER PLACE. SHE TELLS HIM THAT HE WAS HURT, AND NEEDED A FRIEND. HE STILL DOES NOT BUY IT. HE WONDERS IF ANYTHING HAPPENED WHEN HE WAS STAYING WITH HER. SHE SAYS *NO*! HE TELLS HER THAT THE ONLY REASON NOTHING HAPPENED WAS BECAUSE JACK HAD BROKEN RIBS. THEY BOTH LEAVE IN DISGUST. BUT IS JENNIFER BEING TRUTHFUL, OR DOES SHE REALLY CARE ABOUT JACK?

SCENE THREE: EMILIO, STILL UPSET, IS PLAYING POOL AT THE CHEATIN' HEART. JENNIFER COMES IN WEARING STREET CLOTHES. EMILIO WONDERS WHY THOSE CLOTHES. SHE TELLS HIM THAT SHE WANTS TO HAVE MORE THINGS IN HER LIFE. EMILIO STARTS QUESTIONING HER ABOUT JACK. SHE CONTINUES TO DENY SHE HAS FEELINGS FOR JACK. SHE CAN NEVER CARE JACK BECAUSE OF WHO HE IS, HE PLAYS GAMES AND SHE DOES NOT WANT THAT. SHE TELLS EMILIO THAT HE DOES NOT DO STUFF LIKE THAT. EMILIO AND SHE KISS. HAS JENNIFER MADE HER CHOICE?

SCENE ONE: JACK AND KAYLA ARE BACK FROM ITALY AND JACK IS HELPING KAYLA INSIDE WITH HER BAGS.

KAYLA: Jack, you really didn't have to walk me in.

JACK: Don't worry about. Sit down and put your feet up.

KAYLA: I'm alright.

JACK: You're not alright. You've been upset all the way back from Italy.

KAYLA: I'm fine now I'm at home.

JACK: Oh really? Prove it to me. Tell me nothing happened between Steve and Marina.

KAYLA: Do you call my husband in bed with his ex-lover, nothing?

JACK: It was nothing. He was sitting on the bed. Both feet on the floor.

KAYLA: With his arms around her.

JACK: Don't do this Kayla. Don't do it. You're throwing it all away without talking to Steve.

KAYLA: I have nothing to say to Steve.

JACK: Just talk to him. Pick up the phone. Maybe he has something to say to you.

KAYLA: Things have changed Jack.

JACK: You're letting him get to you. You're letting Marina get to you.

KAYLA: I don't want to hear this.

JACK: You don't understand do you? You don't know what kind of woman Marina is. She'll try anything to get what she wants.

KAYLA: Including seduce my husband.

JACK: Including making it look like she's seducing your husband. Kayla, for all we know, she figured out that you and I were going there and she staged the whole thing.

KAYLA: Oh, come on Jack. You don't believe that anymore than I do.

JACK: Look, if there were really in bed together, why the hell was the door open?

KAYLA: Well what was he doing in her room in the first place?

JACK: I don't know. Ask him! Maybe he's got a perfectly logical answer for that.

KAYLA: He would never tell me the truth.

JACK: Why wouldn't he tell you the truth?

KAYLA: Jack, would you just go home please?

JACK: Sure. I'll just take your luggage upstairs and I'm gone.

WHILE JACK IS UPSTAIRS, KAYLA LISTENS TO HER MESSAGES AND THERE IS ONE FROM STEVE TELLING HER WHERE HE IS STAYING AND THAT HE LOVES HER. JACK HEARS THE END OF IT.

JACK: People spend their whole lives trying to get what you have. Their whole lives.

JACK LEAVES.

SCENE TWO:  A ROOM WHICH LOOKS LIKE A HOSPITAL ROOM, THE MYSTERY WOMAN  IS THERE WITH SOMEONE WHO APPEARS TO BE A DOCTOR. HE  TELLS HER ABOUT NOT HAVING VISITORS BUT HE DOES NOT WANT TO "HAVE RAISED EYEBROWS" SO HE WILL ALLOW DR. HUNTER TO VISIT HER. SHE HAS BEEN SNEAKING OUT AND WAS THE WOMAN AT STEVE AND KAYLA'S WITH WHOM MARCUS WAS SPEAKING. SHE IS AGAIN  LOOKING AT HERSELF IN A MIRROR, AND THE DOCTOR GIVES HER A BRUSH AND SHE BEGINS TO BRUSH HER HAIR.  SHE HAS A FAR-AWAY LOOK TO HER.

SCENE THREE: JACK COMES BACK A SHORT TIME LATER TO SEE HOW SHE IS. SHE IS SITTING ON THE GARDEN SWING OUTSIDE THE FRONT DOOR.

JACK: Kayla.

KAYLA: Jack, what are you doing back here?

JACK: I think you know.

KAYLA: I told you I'd be fine.

JACK: Have you called Steve yet?

KAYLA: I don't want to get into this again, Jack.

JACK: I'll take that as a no.

KAYLA: Why do you care if I did or not?

JACK: It's just important, that's all. It's just important.

KAYLA: Why?

JACK: You know that.... er.... the little.... the little baby that you're carrying, I mean that could be my niece or nephew. And.... er.... I don't know, I just want it to have a happy home.

KAYLA: I don't think that's possible now.

JACK: DAMMIT! Kayla make it possible! We've got to wake up. I mean what has the last three years of our lives been worth if not for this? I mean all the lying and the hurting and the pain. I hate myself for some of.... (Crying) ....for some of the things I've done. I always thought that somewhere, there's something out there that's bigger. That's better. Steve and Kayla. Now Steve and Kayla are going to have a baby.

KAYLA: It's supposed to be one of the happiest times of my life.

JACK: It's going to be. It's got to be Kayla. I know that and you know that too.

KAYLA: It's not as simple as you make it sound Jack.

JACK: Steve's not trying to hurt you.

KAYLA: He already has.

JACK: No. He's trying to do everything he can to protect you, to keep from hurting you, so you don't get hurt.

KAYLA: I don't think I'd say everything Jack.

JACK: How do you know? You haven't even called him. What have you got to lose? I mean you're already convinced that he's cheating.

KAYLA: Maybe you're right. Maybe I should hear it from him.

JACK: See, you haven't given up on him yet.

KAYLA: Believe me, I want to find out that you're right Jack. I want this whole thing to be just a giant misunderstanding.

JACK: Then call him and you'll see that I'm right, that it is a misunderstanding. Just call him.

KAYLA: I guess I owe him that.

JACK: You owe it to everybody. You owe it to the baby.

KAYLA: Steve and I have been through a lot. I should fight for him.

JACK: That's right. Fight.

KAYLA STANDS UP AND BEGINS TO WALK INSIDE.

JACK: Yes, fight.

KAYLA: I better go and make that call.

KAYLA GOES IN THE DOOR.

JACK: Way to go Kayla. Way to go.

JACK WALKS OVER AND SITS ON THE PORCH RAIL. AS HE DOES SO, HE KNOCKS A POT PLANT ONTO THE GROUND.

JACK: Oh, Jack. Break one thing, fix another, break another.

HE BENDS OVER TO PICK UP THE PLANT AND PUT IT BACK IN THE POT AND IN AMONGST THE SOIL HE FINDS A PIECE OF PAPER.

JACK: Wait a minute. What's this? "Marriage License! Certificate of Marriage of Marina Toscano and Steven Earl Johnson." Oh no! Steve, you stupid....

KAYLA COMES BACK OUT THE DOOR.

KAYLA: Well, I made the call. He wasn't there.

JACK TRIES TO HIDE THE MARRIAGE LICENSE AND HURRIEDLY PUTS THE PLANT BACK IN THE POT.

JACK: Ah....

KAYLA: Jack, what are you doing?

JACK: Um.... nothing. I knocked this stupid thing over and I was.... sorry, I'll fix it. Don't worry about it.

KAYLA: What's that paper?

JACK: Nothing, really. It's just a piece of paper. Don't worry about it.

KAYLA: (Kayla knows Jack is hiding  something) Then why are you trying to hide it?

JACK: I said, don't worry about it. It's none of your concern.

KAYLA: Why don't you let me decide, Jack?

JACK: (Very reluctantly) Alright. You do.

KAYLA: Steve and Marina were married? Where did you find this Jack?

JACK: It was out there in the dirt and when I knocked over the flower pot.... I found it.

KAYLA: Some misunderstanding.

JACK: Kayla.... I....

KAYLA: Jack, could you go?

JACK: Kayla.... I....

KAYLA: Could you just go please?

JACK: Sure.

JACK LEAVES. KAYLA GOES INSIDE. SHE STOPS AT THE DOOR AND SAYS, "WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME STEVE?!"

SCENE FOUR: MONTAGE ENDING, "IF YOUR HEART COMES OUT TONIGHT," STEVE CALLS HOME. KAYLA IS WALKING DOWN THE STAIRS OF THEIR HOUSE, CARRYING A SUITCASE. SHE WALKS INTO THE LIVING ROOM AND LOOKS AT HER AND STEVE'S WEDDING PICTURE.

You may not know it.
I can see through your disguise
Try not to show it, and your little [ ] your eyes
You may not show it by standing here
But you are the [   ] by standing there.
