SEAN: Come on, Mom. I’ll take you, home.

Jude and Caitlin enter.

CAITLIN: Mom, what happened?

OLIVIA: Annie. That’s what happened.

Sean and Olivia exit and Caitlin and Jude give Annie dirty looks.

CAITLIN: You never change, Annie.

BETTE: You don’t understand, beauty. Olivia, she –

CAITLIN: Don’t defend her, Bette. You see what I mean, Jude? Anyone who crosses Annie’s path is bound to get hurt.

ANNIE: That’s not true!

Jude grabs Annie’s arm.

JUDE: Come with me, Annie. We need to talk.

Jude and Annie leave the room.

CAITLIN: I’m going to go catch up with Mom and Sean.

SCENE 8- SURF CENTRAL

CASEY: Sara, answer me! You were reading this, weren’t you? Weren’t you?!

SARA: I am not going to lie to you. Yes, I did read it. Only because something upset you and I knew that it had something to do with this letter.

CASEY: That gives you no right to read a letter that was addressed to me- not Sara Cummings!

SARA: I’m sorry, Casey. I only did it because I care about you.

CASEY: I don’t want to hear it.

Casey storms out of the kitchen into the living room past Joan and Hank and walks out of Surf Central slamming the door behind him; Joan and Hank look at Sara, who is almost crying.

SARA: I can’t believe this!

AMY: Brad!

BRAD: I mean it, get the hell out!

Amy grabs her clothes and leaves.

BRAD: God, Amy, when are you going to see that we are perfect for each other. Sean doesn’t want you- he never has.

Amy is in her bedroom

AMY’S VOICE: I can’t believe I’m even thinking this, but Brad and I had incredible sex. Might even better than with Sean. What am I saying? I want Sean, and I have to get him away from Emily- no matter what I have to do.

SCENE 10- GRENADINE’S

Jude pulls Annie into a room at Grenadine’s and he shuts the door.

ANNIE: All right, let me have it. Tell me that I shouldn’t have thrown water on Olivia, go head.

JUDE: Why don’t you tell me what happened first.

ANNIE: Well, classic Olivia. She insulted me, and I threw water on her.

JUDE: Annie, you should prove that you’re better than Olivia and just ignore her remark.

ANNIE: I am better than Olivia.

JUDE: Then prove it.

Jude draws Annie into a kiss, and they begin to make love.

SCENE 11- SURF CENTRAL

JOAN: What just happened?

SARA: Casey and I had a fight.

HANK: About what?

SARA: It doesn’t matter. He hates me.

JOAN: Honey, that’s not true. You’re engaged.

SARA: Probably not for much longer.

HANK: Ahh, honey.

Joan and Hank put their arms around Sara.

CAITLIN: Sounds good to me. I’m going upstairs to see if Cole is home.

OLIVIA: Will you check on Trey, too?

CAITLIN: Sure, I’ll be back.

Caitlin exits

SEAN: Mom, are you okay?

OLIVIA: I don’t know, Sean. There has been so much going on lately with your father, Annie, and everything.

SEAN: I guess you could use a break, huh?

OLIVIA: More than anything right now.

SEAN: Well, I’ll go to the kitchen and get you some tea.

OLIVIA: All right, darling.
