DAN: Amanda… What did you do? [Amanda looks upset. Macca is kneeling, slowly, blood begins to drip out of his shirt, he’s been shot in the chest]

AMANDA: Oh my God. [Macca falls to the ground]

DAN: Why me Amanda?

AMANDA: What do you mean?

DAN: You were yelling at me to stop hurting Macca, then you shot him instead of me… Why? [Amanda looks like she’s about to cry]

AMANDA: Isn’t it obvious? [Amanda says trying to cheer herself up, Dan looks confused] Dan…

DAN: Amanda, don’t. [Amanda walks slowly to Dan]

AMANDA: Why do you think I tried to ruin the wedding? Keep Ryan’s birthfather a secret from you? Saving you tonight?

DAN: Amanda…

AMANDA: I still love you Dan, always have, always will. [Dan looks emotional]

DAN: Don’t Amanda… Just don’t.

TASHA: You’ll be fine… So why are you back here? Since you’ve came back you’ve just heard about all of my problems.

JOSIE: I’ve just missed you guys, being in the city, alone, was pretty depressing.

TASHA: Is that the only reason?

JOSIE: There could be others. [Josie says with a smile] Did you hear about the fire? [Tasha looks confused] At the prison where Jesse was being held?

TASHA: Oh, yeah… I’m sure he’ll be fine wherever he is… It’s Kane we’re more worried about, they still haven’t found him. Jesse’s tough, he’ll pull through it wherever he is. [Tasha says with a smile]

JESSE: I was about to ask you the same thing, you look familiar.

MAMMA ROSE: Where are you from?

JESSE: Uh… Prison actually…There was a riot so I took the chance to escape, which I did.

MAMMA ROSE: A riot!? [sounding very concerned] Is everybody ok?

JESSE: I wouldn’t exactly know… Why do you sound so concerned?

MAMMA ROSE: My son’s in prison, I just want to know if he would be ok. [Jesse looks surprised]

JESSE: Does your son, by chance, have long brownish hair?

MAMMA ROSE: You know him? Jonah?

JESSE: Yeah… That’s how I must know you… Seen you in the visiting room or something…

MAMMA ROSE: Or something. [Mamma Rose smiles and walks away]
