B&B: update Wed 5/24
CrsStchr
I have had some trouble trying to post here. Here goes!!
RIDGE'S OFFICE
Trish (the Dish) ;) is discussing Ridge's upcoming interviews and
appearances
with him, reminding him of an interview this afternoon. Ridge admits he'd
forgotten about today, and that Trish should reschedule it for a later
date.
He adds that maybe she should reschedule all of the upcoming appearances;
Ridge wants sometime to himself. Trish promises to get right on it and
leaves.
Ridge's mind begins to wander and he searches his desk for a picture of
Taylor.
He finds one of them together on the beach, and remembers what a great
time
they had together.
OMAR'S HOTEL SUITE
Taylor and Omar enter. Omar begins, "We need to talk..." Taylor asks
him
why he came to L.A. Omar tells her that she knows why, to convince her to
come back to Morocco with him. "You were on your way back, and when you
didn't arrive I became alarmed," he states. Taylor apologizes for not
informing
him of the change in plans; she was "caught up in something else." Omar
suspects that the "something else" was revealing herself to Ridge. Taylor
insists that she carefully made her decision and has no regrets. Omar
believes she's made a mistake; obviously Ridge hasn't reacted to her in
the
way she had hoped because he's still with Brooke and the children. Taylor
admits that yes, he's still with them, but that's only temporary. She
thinks
Ridge still has feelings for her and that its only a matter of time before
he
leaves Brooke for her.
SHEILA'S OFFICE
Mike and Megan steal away to Sheila's office to talk. Mike makes her
promise not to tell anyone that he's involved with Shiela. "What are you
talking about?" Megan asks. "I didn't know you were involved with her."
Mike insists that Megan must swear not to tell anyone who asks about
him and Shiela; Megan reluctantly agrees but questions why. Mike thinks
that Shiela's in real trouble now, and she's not going to drag him down
with
her.
ERIC'S OFFICE
As Eric and Steph are about to leave, in walks James, with clothes in
tatters.
Stephanie looks as though she's seen a ghost, but both she and Eric are
relieved to see him. Eric asks James where he's been; James says he's
been with Shiela. "I knew it!" Stephanie exclaims. "You *were* in that
house!
Where is she?" "Don't worry about Sheila; she's not going anywhere,"
James
relates. James explains that Sheila has kept him captive for the last
month
in a secret dungeon below the house. Eric and Steph both stare
incredulously.
James tells them that now Sheila's the one being held captive; now she'll
pay
for her horrible crimes.
ROLL CREDITS
ERIC'S OFFICE
James tells Steph and Eric how Sheila kidnapped him before he was going to
tell them about what he heard from Lauren Fenmore. Eric tells him that
they
just got off the phone with her; they already know the story. James
suggests
they call the police and go over to the house to get Sheila; Eric gets Lt.
Burke
on the phone.
RIDGE'S OFFICE
Ridge is reminiscing over Taylor's picture. He remembers how much in love
they were, spending time in Tahiti(?).
OMAR'S HOTEL SUITE
Omar can't believe that Ridge is responding to Taylor. He wonders how
Taylor
can just throw away the vows she made to him, their life in Morocco, and
the
children waiting for her. Taylor tells him to stop trying to manipulate
her; it
won't work this time. "But Laila..." Omar says. "TAYLOR...MY NAME IS
TAYLOR,"
she insists. Omar can't believe that the vows she made to him didn't mean
anything to her.
SHIELA'S OFFICE
Megan asks about how Mike and Sheila are involved. Mike avoids the issue,
repeating that he's not going to be brought down with Sheila. Megan
notices
that Mike seems really upset; she suggests he go home and relax. Mike
agrees.
HOUDINI HOUSE
James, Eric, Steph, and the police arrive at the house. James shows them
how to get to the secret room through the bookcase and they descend the
stairs to the dungeon.
OMAR'S HOTEL SUITE
Taylor tells Omar that everything they had together was a lie, one that
began
with Omar hiding the truth from her about her identity, her life in L.A.
and her
husband's marriage to another woman. Omar insists he was only trying to
protect her from a man who would defile her memory by remarring so soon
after her death. Taylor says she doesn't blame Ridge, but blames Omar
instead. She admits that it hurts her to say that because she feels
indebted
to Omar for saving her life. However, she believes Omar is the cause of
all the
mess and that's something she won't soon forget either. Taylor believes
she
has a second chance with Ridge and wants to try for it. Taylor says
goobye
and leaves for good, it seems. But Omar swears he'll fight to win his
wife back.
HOUDINI HOUSE
James lead the party to the place where he locked Sheila, but she's gone!
"I was stuck in this thing for days; how in the hell did she get out of
it?"
exclaims James. Lt. Burke finds Houdini's diary on the floor, with notes
about
the various items in the basement and how to escape from them. "It
appears
Sheila's been doing some research," Lt. Burke suspects. Stephanie
implores
the police to get out there and find Shiela before she does harm to
someone.
MIKE'S APARTMENT
Mike unlocks the door and lets himself in, locking the door behind him.
He goes
to the refridgerator and gets a beer and opens it to take a sip. He
almost chokes
on the sip when he turns to find Sheila standing in the living room. "You
gotta help
me, Mike," Sheila begs, looking as though she's at her wit's end. "You
gotta help
me!"
