Scene One: The Atchley mansion. Craig is sipping a glass of champagne, when Willins brings in Mark and Rosemary.

CRAIG: Mark, Rosemary, come on in.
MARK: Thank you, how are things going for you?
CRAIG: Miserable. Stephanie won't let up, and because of her, my wife left me and moved in with her mother.
ROSEMARY: I am sorry about that.
CRAIG: It's not at all your fault, Rosemary. Stephanie is stubborn.
ROSEMARY: Stubborn and extremely dangerous. She lost her meal ticket, and because of that, she's in revenge mode.
MARK: What do you propose we do?
CRAIG: I have no idea, Mark. But Rose is right. Stephanie needs to be stopped.
ROSEMARY: Even back in high school, Stephanie was plenty much a seductress, or what everyone said was that she was a slut.
MARK: If that is the case, then who could be her next victim?
ROSEMARY: I don't know, and I feel sorry for whoever that is.

(Rosemary is perplexed as to whom is her enemy's next target)

Scene Two: Boston Public Gardens. Adam Mathison and Aaron Shinn are walking their adopted daughter Rebecca through the gardens. Stephanie Rendell is looking at Adam. She is entranced.

ADAM: Do you know who that is?
AARON: No, I don't. What is she doing?
ADAM: I don't know, but she is making me nervous.
AARON: She is making me nervous too. Wait a second! That is Stephanie Rendell!
ADAM: Rosemary's enemy. Why is she looking at me?
AARON: I don't know, but I don't want her near the baby. I am going to get something for us to drink and a balloon for Beckie. I will be right back, hon. I have my phone if you need me.
ADAM: OK, can you get me a latte?
AARON: I shall.
(Aaron heads over to the cart; Stephanie makes her move)
STEPHANIE: Hi there, handsome.
ADAM (obviously uncomfortable): Hello.
STEPHANIE: Your daughter is beautiful.
ADAM (preoccupied): Thank you.
STEPHANIE: It's very nice. Are you alone?
ADAM: No, I am not. My partner is over there with my daughter.
STEPHANIE: Certainly he is only your brother.
ADAM: Leave me alone, please.

(Stephanie is stopped, but she is not defeated yet!)

Scene Three: The scene shifts to London, England, and at the private jet section of Heathrow Airport. A young woman, with a beautiful baby girl is headed to the specialized security area; she is very familiar.

GUARD: Everything is in order, Ms. Harper.
HANNAH: One can only hope so.
(It's Michael's other daughter, Hannah. She is pushing a stroller through the security clearance area.)
GUARD: You all right, ma'am?
HANNAH: Just nerves, I guess. I am headed home.
GUARD: Where is that?
HANNAH: Boston.
GUARD: She is a gorgeous child.
HANNAH: Thanks. She's my angel.
GUARD: What is her name?
HANNAH: Margaret, but I call her Maggie.
(Maggie opens her blue eyes very wide.)
GUARD (smiles): She has very wide eyes.
HANNAH: Yes, she is adorable.
GUARD: Gate B22 is down that way. The Harper private jet is waiting for you there.
HANNAH: One of the perks of being a Harper.
GUARD: Have a safe trip. Your Aunt Samantha will have your things shipped to the mansion.
HANNAH: Thank you.
(Hannah, with Maggie in tow, is headed to the private gate where the Harper Industries private jet is waiting for her)
HANNAH: I am on my way home, Daddy.
(Some hours later, Hannah is at the private landing strip on the Harper Estate. She is driven to the mansion. She rings the bell. Michael answers)
HANNAH: Hello, Daddy. I'm home.

(Michael is stunned, but pleased to see his daughter. He hugs her tightly.)

Scene Four: WBOS. Erica is on the phone with Nigel.

ERICA: What are you saying?!
NIGEL: What I am saying, Erica, is that Hannah is on her way back to the states. With Maggie!
ERICA: DAMN it! You were supposed to keep her in the dark. And you should have custody of that child!
NIGEL: Well, me being in jail doesn't help matters.
ERICA: Enough of the excuses!
NIGEL: Excuse me?!
ERICA: You better do what you can to make sure Hannah gives you full custody of Maggie! And if she doesn't, then I will deal with her myself!
NIGEL: No court in this COUNTRY will give me custody of the baby! Not for the crimes I committed!
ERICA: I see. Then I fear I have no other choice. Nigel, you've become too much of a liability. You are fired!
(Nigel Hangs up in a rage. Enter Erica's secretary, Celia)
CELIA: Ms. Harper, your aunt is on the phone. She wants to talk to you.
ERICA: Tell her I don't want to talk to her. Have her make an appointment.
CELIA: As you wish!
ERICA: AND DON'T YOU EVER FORGET THAT!

(Erica slams the door.)

Scene Five: The Harper Mansion. Patricia and Michelle, along with Anyssa, are in the parlor talking with Michael and Wendy. After Hannah's homecoming, she is upstairs taking a nap, while the nursemaid has put Maggie down for a nap as well.

MICHAEL: That was a lovely surprise.
PATRICIA: Hannah coming home?
WENDY: Yes, it was.
ANYSSA: Where is she?
MICHELLE: She is asleep. I asked Mrs. Jorgenson to watch the baby while Hannah naps.
MICHAEL: It will be nice to have a baby around.
WENDY: I am sure it will.
PATRICIA (approvingly): I will say this. You two look lovely together.
WENDY: I just hope it works out this time.
ANYSSA: Are you sure?
WENDY: When you aunt called me, I was insistant that I didn't want to be with him again. But then I realized that Natalya was in serious trouble. And Michael, being the gentleman that he was, was willing to raise the baby as his own. Anyone like that, couldn't be all that bad.
MICHAEL: I told you about what happened to Natalya, did I not?
WENDY: Yes, you did. And Vivienne really let me have it for it.
MICHAEL: Vivienne told you off for it.
WENDY (grinning): She certainly did. And she didn't mince words either.
MICHAEL: But we're together, Wendy, and that is what matters.
WENDY: Yes, it is.
(Michelle and Patricia are outside of the drawing room.)
MICHELLE: Aunt Patricia, is there anything wrong?
PATRICIA: I hope not.
MICHELLE: Why do you say that?
PATRICIA: I am really worried.
MICHELLE: About who?
PATRICIA: Erica.
MICHELLE: What has she done now?
PATRICIA: Not about what she has done, but what she could do.
MICHELLE: What could she do?
PATRICIA: I don't know. But I am so worried about what Erica could do, darling. I just don't want anything to happen to wreck Harper Industries.
MICHELLE: If you want, I can keep an eye on Erica. But I don't know what else we could do.
PATRICIA: We will do what we can. Right now, I have to make a call.

(Patricia goes to the office she has at the mansion; and Michelle goes back into the drawing room.)

(Voice of Rick Hearst: "Harpers Falls: A New Beginning will return in a moment, here on ONtv.")

Scene Six: The Atchley Mansion.

CRAIG: Who could she go after?
ROSEMARY: Stephanie has always been a social climber. If she even SEES someone with any vestige of success, she pounces.
MARK: Apparently, she doesn't let anything be an obstacle. Whether they were married, or whatever, she will pounce.
CRAIG: As I well know, I am sure.
ROSEMARY: Who could she go after?
MARK: I don't know, honey. But I hope it's not anyone we know.
CRAIG: Me neither, and I don't know your circle as well as I should, me being new here.
ROSEMARY: Well, Mark, do you think we can help him here?
MARK: Why not?
CRAIG: You'd do that?
ROSEMARY: Why not? What's the sense of being a Harper if one can't help once in a while?
MARK: That's my wife's Harper pride coming out.
ROSEMARY: Oh, you!

(The three laugh)

Scene Seven: Boston Public Garden

STEPHANIE: He is your brother, am I not correct?
ADAM: No. You are NOT correct. He is my partner.
STEPHANIE: What can he do that I can't do better.
(Stephanie drapes herself all over Adam, Adam backs away)
ADAM: What are you doing?
STEPHANIE: Don't you understand? I want you!
ADAM: I am not interested.
STEPHANIE (stunned): What are you talking about?
ADAM (disgustedly): You are a real piece of work, you know that?
STEPHANIE: I don't know what you mean.
ADAM (in anger): If you think you are going to put the move on me, lady, then you are sadly mistaken! I am gay, and I am immune to your seduction. Now, go and get away from me. If you try to seduce me one more time, I will call the police and have you arrested for harassment. Don't think I won't do it!
(Aaron arrives.)
AARON: Are you all right?
ADAM: I am now.
STEPHANIE: You want me, I know you do.
AARON: Leave us alone. You come near us again, we'll have you arrested.
(Enter a park security guard.)
GUARD: Is she bothering you?
ADAM: Yes.
GUARD: Madam, you need to leave this park! And don't come back.
STEPHANIE: You slimy morons! You will PAY for this!
(A protesting Stephanie is led away)
ADAM: I think she is mad.
AARON: And extremely dangerous.

(Adam and Aaron go on their way, with Rebecca in tow)

Scene Eight: Outside of Faneuil Hall. Stephanie is making a frantic phone call.

STEPHANIE: Daddy, please, I need to talk to you.
MR. RENDELL: What do you want, Stephanie?
STEPHANIE: My assets have been frozen. Thanks to my former husband.
MR. RENDELL: So?
STEPHANIE: I want my assets unfrozen!
MR. RENDELL: I can't do that.
STEPHANIE: You can't be SERIOUS, Daddy! I DEMAND that those assets be unfrozen, NOW!
MR. RENDELL: I have tried. The Atkinsons carry a lot of clout!
STEPHANIE: If you won't do it, then I will do it myself! And when I do, I will get my money from you, old man!

(A furious Stephanie disconnects the call! She then sits on the bench and starts to sob. One of the guards around Faneuil Hall tells her to move along! Stephanie storms off in rage)

Scene Nine: Harper Mansion. Some hours later.

ANYSSA: You two look all dressed up tonight.
MICHAEL: We are. We're going on a first real date.
ANYSSA: Where to?
WENDY: To the opera.
ANYSSA: You've never been to the opera, Wendy?
WENDY: Nope, I admit that.
ANYSSA: Which one are you going to?
MICHAEL: We're going to see Lucia di Lammermour, at the Boston Opera.
ANYSSA: Have fun, I have to get to work on some briefs for a case.
WENDY: See ya.
(Anyssa leaves.)
MICHAEL: She is something special.
WENDY: She is indeed. She is really on the ball.
MICHAEL: I still feel bad about what I put you through.
WENDY: I got over it.
MICHAEL: I really loved her, and she hurt me. Maybe not deliberately, but she hurt me just the same.
WENDY: I know she hurt you, but you know I won't hurt you.
MICHAEL: You're right.

(The two share a kiss)

Scene Ten: WBOS. A furious Patricia storms past Celia.

CELIA: You can't...
PATRICIA: Try and stop me!
(Patricia throws the door open)
ERICA: What the hell do you think you're doing?
PATRICIA: Get your coat! You're coming back to the mansion with me!
ERICA: Excuse me?
PATRICIA: You are going to face up to your crimes, whether you like it or not!

(Erica is ordered to follow Patricia as a bewildered Celia looks on. The scene fades)

(Voice of Elizabeth Hendrickson: On the next Harpers Falls: A New Beginning...")
MICHAEL (to Erica): You are perhaps the most vile excuse for a woman I have ever seen. I can't believe you are even my younger sister!
PATRICIA: (to Erica): You are disgusting piece of vermin, Erica. It's no wonder that NONE of your children want to see you. They don't want to be around you, and I, for one, don't blame them.
ANYSSA (to Erica): You are poison, Erica. Everything you touch, you kill. Nobody is safe from your toxic attitude.
