Episode 29

In the last episode of Soap, Leslie came up with a new plan to ruin Billy’s life by saying that he tried to kill her. Carol is planning to ruin Jodie and Maggie’s life and be with Wendy again, and meanwhile Scotty is planning to tell his family about his relationship with Carol. Jessica has come up with a plan to help Mary’s Lookalike regain her memory: She is planning to let her live in the pool house, and as a result of Jessica’s plan, Chester should plan a new living arrangement. And we also need to find out whether Dutch is planning to choose Eunice or Corinne as the woman he plans to spend the rest of his life with.

Confused? You won't be if you plan to stay tuned to this episode of SOAP.

This is the story of two sisters, Jessica Tate and Mary Campbell. These are the Tates, and these are the Campbells. And this is SOAP.
TATE HOUSE

<Billy, Benson, Danny, Jodie, Chuck, Bob, Maggie, Wendy and Mike are all in the living room.>

Billy: I can’t believe that everyone is finally coming back. I’ve missed them.

Benson: Well, I haven’t. It’s enough having to clean up after you, Billy. The rest of them are worse.

<The door opens and in come Burt, Chester, Jessica, Mallu, Corinne, Eunice and Dutch.>

Burt: We’re home!

Billy: Corinne! Eunice!

<Billy runs over and hugs Corinne and Eunice>

Corinne: Oh Billy, it’s so great to see you again.

Billy: It’s great to see the both of you again. Are you both okay?

Eunice: Oh, it was just awful in that dungeon. But we’re fine now.

Billy: Great.

Eunice: And the best part is that Dutch is finally out of jail.

Billy: Yes, that is great. It’s good to see you, Dutch.

Dutch: Great to see you too, Billy.

Billy: Mom, dad, it’s great to see the two of you too.

Jessica: It’s wonderful to be back, Billy. How is everything with you? Has everything been okay?

Billy: I’ll tell you about it later.

Jessica: Oh, I can’t wait to hear it. I hope it’s good.

Benson: Oh, it will be…

Chester: So son, how was it to be all alone at home?

Billy: Surprisingly, I missed all of you a lot.

Benson: Well, I didn’t.

Chester: It’s good to see you too, Benson.

Eunice: Well I don’t about you guys, but I’m totally exhausted. Being locked up in a dungeon sure makes you tired.

Corinne: I’m tired too. So, Dutch, what do you say we go upstairs and get some rest?

Eunice: Oh is that what you’re calling it? Rest?

Corinne: Oh shut up, Eunice.

Dutch: Girls girls, please let’s not fight…you’ll share me!

Eunice: Okay, but I get you first.

Corinne: NO WAY!

<Corinne and Eunice continue to argue as they head upstairs with Dutch.>

Mallu: Well it’s been fun. But I have to see some clients, so…

Chester: And don’t come back.

Jessica: Chester, why don’t you go too, down to your new home in the basement?

Chester: But, Jess…

Jessica: NOW, Chester.

Chester: Oh all right. Bye everyone.

<Chester and Mallu leave >

Jessica: Benson, why don’t you go prepare the menu for tonight’s special dinner?

Benson: I guess I can do that.

Jessica: And Billy can help you.

Billy: I can?

Jessica: Yes, Billy.

Billy: Fine.

Jessica: Good, I’ll be along to help you shortly.

Benson: Okay.

<Benson and Billy leave. Now only Jessica and the Campbells are left in the room.>

Danny: So, Burt…how did it feel on your first job as the sheriff?

Burt: Oh, it felt great. Really great. And how were things here?

Danny: Things were good. I’ve prepared a memo for you.

Burt: Good.

<There is a moment of silence.>

Jessica: Oh Burt…why don’t you just tell them?

Jodie: Tell us what?

Burt: Oh, I can’t.

Jessica: Come on, Burt. They have to find out eventually.

Jodie: What are you guys talking about?

Burt: Well, Jodie, Corinne and Eunice and Dutch weren’t the only people we found in Texas.

Jodie: Whom else did you find?

Danny: Did you find any cowboys? Please tell me you found some cowboys, Burt.

Jodie: Danny, there aren’t any more cowboys.

Danny: Yes there are. I saw this movie just the other day and the cowboys were all in it.

<Mike nudges Wendy>

Mike: And this guy is our deputy sheriff?

Wendy: I know…amazing isn’t it?

Burt: Danny, forget the cowboys. We didn’t find any cowboys.

Danny: Oh…so what did you find?

Burt: Wait here for a minute.

<Burt leaves and comes back holding the hand of Mary’s Lookalike. He leads her into the room. Everyone gasps when they see her.>

Jodie: Ma?

Wendy: Oh my god. It’s my grandmother.

Mike: I thought you said she was dead.

Wendy: That’s what everybody said.

Maggie: Okay. Mike, why don’t you and I leave? This is family business.

Mike: You’re right. Wendy, I’ll call you later.

Wendy: Okay.

Jodie: Thanks, Maggie.

Maggie: You’re welcome.

<Maggie and Mike leave>

Danny: Ma! Don’t you recognize us?

Mary’s Lookalike: Who are all these people?

Burt: Well these are my sons Danny, Jodie and Chuck. And over there is my granddaughter Wendy.

Jodie: Burt, what’s wrong with her? Why can’t she remember any of us?

Burt: Well, I’m not sure. Heck, we’re not even sure that this is really your mother.

Jodie: It has to be her!

Burt: For all we know this can be another one of Ingrid’s tricks.

Mary’s Lookalike: Are you all Mary’s family?

Danny: Yes, ma. We’re your family.

Mary’s Lookalike: Even him? <Points to Bob>

Bob: Of course. Mary was always my favorite person in the family.

Chuck: Don’t lie, Bob.

Bob: Hey, don’t call me a liar.

Chuck: But that’s what you are.

<Chuck and Bob continue to argue>

Mary’s Lookalike: I’m sorry I asked.

Jessica: Chuck, why don’t you and Bob go into the kitchen and help Benson cook dinner?

Bob: Great idea. I love cooking.

Chuck: Me too. But Bob…try not to spill everything on me.

Bob: Well, you’re a klutz.

Chuck: So are you!

<Chuck and Bob leave the room while arguing>

Mary’s Lookalike: Your son has got a wonderful act going there.

Burt: Well, unfortunately…it’s not an act.

Jodie: Just forget about them. Ma, we’re going to take you home and take care of you so you can remember.

Mary’s Lookalike: Oh my god…Mary was so lucky to have a wonderful family like you. I’m sorry if me being here is causing you pain. I’ll leave.

Jessica: No you won’t. Jodie, she will stay here with me and I will get her to remember.

Jodie: Are you sure about this, Aunt Jessica?

Jessica: Yes, I am. Mary will stay with me and I will have the best doctors looking after her and helping her remember.

Jodie: I guess this will be okay.

Danny: Yeah. And we’ll be by every day to visit.

Mary’s Lookalike: I will like that.

Jodie: Great.

Mary’s Lookalike: Boy, I’m getting tired. Can I just go to my room and sleep?

Jessica: Sure. I’ll show it to you. This way.

<Jessica and Mary’s Lookalike leave>

Jodie: This is unbelievable.

Wendy: It’s like grandma is back from the dead.

Burt: Well I hate to put a damper on the celebration but we’re unsure that it’s even Mary.

Jodie: It is her. I can feel it.

Danny: Me too.

Burt: Well, I can only hope that it is your mother. Now why don’t we go home and come back later to see her?

<Suddenly the kitchen door opens and out comes Chuck without Bob. Then we see Bob being thrown out the door.>

Benson: AND DON’T COME BACK!

Bob: Gee, what a grump. I just told him his chicken soup could use more flavor and he went nuts.

Jodie: Come on guys. We’re going home.

<The Campbells leave>
CORINNE’S ROOM

<Corinne is sleeping, Dutch is next to her and Eunice is next to him. Corinne wakes up and touches Dutch

Corinne: Dutch…Dutch…

Dutch: Just 5 more minutes, please…

Corinne: Dutch wake up. It’s me, Corinne.

Dutch: Corinne!

Corinne: Shhhh…Eunice is asleep. I figured we could have some fun while she’s asleep.

Dutch: Okay.

<Dutch and Corinne start doing things while Eunice wakes up on the other side>

Eunice: Dutch, honey. Why don’t we…

<Eunice touches Dutch and sees that he’s with Corinne>

Eunice: Ahhhhhhh!!!

<Dutch and Corinne stop what they’re doing as Eunice turns on the light>

Eunice: Oh Corinne, you witch!

Corinne: Shut up Eunice. You had him for 20 minutes before.

<Corinne and Eunice shout at each other>

Dutch: Okay, that’s enough!!!

<Corinne and Eunice stop fighting>

Dutch: Now we’ve gotta face some facts here. Eunice, our marriage hasn’t been the same in a long time. And Corinne, we can’t continue just doing this anymore.

Eunice: You’re right, Dutch.

Corinne: This can’t continue. You’ll have to choose one of us.

Dutch: I know. And it has to be done right now.

Eunice: Oh just choose me like last time and let’s get it over with.

Dutch: No, I’ve done a lot of thinking about this. Eunice, I love you, but unless you’re willing to go to a marriage counselor about our problems, I don’t think we have a future.

Eunice: Okay, okay. I’ll do it. I’ll do anything to keep you.

Dutch: Do you mean that?

Eunice: Yes, I do. We’ll make our marriage work.

Dutch: Okay then. We’ll try.

Eunice: Oh, I’m so excited.

Dutch: Good, Eunice. So why don’t you go outside and wait for me?

Eunice: Sure! Oh, I can’t believe this…

<Eunice leaves excitedly. Corinne and Dutch stay alone>

Corinne: Are you sure you want this?

Dutch: I have to try to make my marriage work. I won’t know for sure until I try.

Corinne: It won’t work, Dutch. Eunice is no good for you.

Dutch: I’ve got to try before I give up.

Corinne: Alright. I respect your decision. And when you do get tired of Eunice, I will be right here.

Dutch: You ain’t leaving this time?

Corinne: No. I thought about it. I’m going to start working and make a life for myself here in Connecticut. And I’ll be waiting for you.

Dutch: Great.

<Dutch kisses Corinne>

Corinne: Well, your wife is waiting for you.

Dutch: Yeah, I know. See ya.

<Dutch leaves. Corinne sits down on her bed>

Corinne: We will be together again, Dutch. I can feel it.
CAMPBELL HOUSE

<Jodie and Maggie are in the living room>

Maggie: So you didn’t tell your family that you know what Scotty’s big announcement is?

Jodie: How could I? How could I tell Burt that his son is going out with my worst enemy? The woman who left me at the altar and abandoned her daughter? And how could I tell Wendy that her mother is sleeping with her uncle? Hell, I don’t even understand it.

Maggie: I know. Everything will be okay in the end.

<Burt, Danny, Wendy, and Chuck and Bob arrive>

Burt: So what could Scotty possibly want to tell us?

Bob: Maybe he’s FINALLY moving out of here.

Burt: Oh Bob, just go stuff it.

Danny: Hey Jodie, did you speak to Aunt Jessica today about Ma?

Jodie: Yeah I did. She says that she’s fine. She’s just tired.

Danny: That’s a relief. But she still can’t remember us.

Jodie: It’s only a matter of time.

<Scotty walks in through the front door>

Burt: Scotty! It’s so good to see you!

Scotty: Yeah, dad. It’s great to see you too. I’m glad you did so well in Texas.

Burt: How about you, son? Is everything okay with you?

Scotty: I’m fine, dad. I’ve never been better.

Burt: Well, when are you going to visit your mother?

Scotty: I will soon. I promise. I mean it will be so awkward to see a woman who’s supposedly my mother but I don’t even remember her.

Burt: Maybe you can jog her memory.

Scotty: Okay. I will go see her. But first…

Burt: Yeah, what’s this big announcement you wanted to make?

Scotty: Well dad, I just wanted to tell you that I’m in love.

Burt: Oh that’s great, son!

<Burt hugs Scotty>

Scotty: And I figured that it’s finally time for you and everyone to see the woman who I’m in love with.

<Scotty opens the front door and Carol walks in>

Burt: Oh my god…

Wendy: Mother??

Carol: Yes, Wendy.

Wendy: You and Scotty?

Carol: Yes.

Wendy: I’m going to be sick…

<Wendy runs out of the room. Jodie and Maggie follow her>

Bob: Well, of all the women you could choose, Scotty, this is absolutely the worst one.

Burt: Chuck…

Chuck: Sorry dad. Come on, Bob. Let’s go.

Bob: But the most exciting part is coming!

Chuck: Bob…

Bob: Oh okay.

<Chuck and Bob leave. Burt looks at Danny>

Danny: Oh, look at the time. I just remembered I have an appointment down at the station. I’d better get going.

Burt: Yes, you’d better.

Danny: Bye, Scotty.

<Danny leaves>

Burt: Carol, what have you done to brainwash my son into this?

Scotty: Dad, stop it!

Burt: No, I mean it. What are you up to?

Carol: Nothing. I just want to be with Scotty.

Burt: Oh, please. You’re just looking for a way to worm your way into Wendy’s life.

Scotty: Dad, that’s enough! Carol, please wait for me upstairs.

Carol: Gladly.

<Carol leaves>

Burt: Scotty, please listen to me…

Scotty: Dad, there is absolutely nothing you can do or say to change my mind. I’m going to be with Carol and there’s nothing you can do to stop it.

Burt: Scotty, just listen. That woman is no good…

Scotty: Carol is trying to turn her life around, and it’s people like you and the rest of this family that are ruining it for her, by always being rude to her. Now, you can either accept Carol or you I’ll leave the house!

<Scotty runs upstairs, leaving Burt alone>
TATE POOL HOUSE

<Jessica walks in with some albums and sees Mary’s Lookalike>

Mary’s Lookalike: Hi, Jessica.

Jessica: Hello. How are you feeling?

Mary’s Lookalike: I’m good. Just tired.

Jessica: That’s understandable.

Mary’s Lookalike: What’s this you brought?

Jessica: Oh, just some family photo albums. So that you can see some of the times that Mary and I had.

Mary’s Lookalike: Oh, that will be nice.

Jessica <opening an album>: Here are Mary and I as little girls with our brother Randolph. We always used to tease him.

Mary’s Lookalike: How lovely. I don’t remember any of my family, or if I had any family for that matter.

Jessica: And here are Mary and her first husband.

Mary’s Lookalike: What happened to him?

Jessica: Oh, Burt killed him and then Mary married Burt.

Mary’s Lookalike: How nice…

Jessica: And this is Mary when Danny was born.

Mary’s Lookalike: Which one is Danny? Is he the gay one?

Jessica: No, that’s Jodie. Danny is the one who is the deputy sheriff.

Mary’s Lookalike: Oh right. The one who likes cowboys.

Jessica: Right.

Mary’s Lookalike: Wow, you sure have a lot of pictures. It’s really nice.

Jessica: I know.

Mary’s Lookalike: But I don’t remember any of it. I’m sorry.

Jessica: That’s quite alright. Your memory will come back in time.

Mary’s Lookalike: I hope so. You’ve been so good to me, Jessica.

Jessica: Anything for you.

Mary’s Lookalike: Thanks…boy, I don’t feel so good all of a sudden….

<Suddenly, Mary’s Lookalike faints>

Jessica: Oh no! Mary! Somebody, help!!
