Scene One: Erica's apartment. Erica and Patricia are still arguing.

PATRICIA: Do you simply ENJOY hurting this family? Have you NO shame whatsoever?
ERICA: You don't understand this.
PATRICIA: You use your position on the hospital board to get Rosemary's OB/GYN out of the state, and out of the country. Then you decide that Rosemary HAS to get an abortion; then failing that, you want to sell her baby on the black market! Not to mention trying to steal your own niece's daughter! What is there to understand?! You are beyond evil, Erica.
ERICA: Don't you dare lecture me! I am caring for this family!
PATRICIA: NO, you're not! And don't tell me that you are. Your actions have hurt this family!
ERICA: You listen to me, old lady! I will get what I want, and if I hurt the members of this family, then they are nothing but collateral damage! I want NOBODY else in this family! Nigel was denied a place in this family!
PATRICIA: Because he was a BASTARD! You had him kill your own nephew; then you tried to make him break up Dylan and Alex and then you had him embezzle funds from the family company! Have you NO sense of decency?
ERICA: You get out of my house, Aunt Patricia. I don't have to justify my behavior to you or anyone else in this damned family!
PATRICIA: Remember this, you are banned from the Harper Estate. And if you try to access any of our money, then you will be shut down! Go make your own money!

(Patricia storms out, Erica slams the door)

Scene Two: The Harper Estate. Patricia is back in Brockton, and she is sitting in the den talking with Michael.

PATRICIA: It was horrible, Michael. She was beyond reason.
MICHAEL: That sounds wicked.
PATRICIA: Worse, she reduced the family to nothing but collateral damage.
MICHAEL: What can we do?
PATRICIA: I banned her from the estate, but that will not stop her.
MICHAEL: How about a restraining order?
PATRICIA: We tried that, but she laughs it off.
MICHAEL: She is incorrigible.
PATRICIA: Nothing we do seems to derail her.
MICHAEL: We just have to redouble our efforts.
PATRICIA: And I think I have an idea of how to do that?
MICHAEL: How?
PATRICIA: Leave it to me, darling. This time, Auntie Patricia will take care of it.

(Patricia gives her puzzled nephew a kiss on the cheek and heads out of the house.)

Scene Three: Stephanie Rendell's new apartment. She, Mark and Rosemary are having dinner, and a sad Rosemary is picking at her food.

MARK: You've not eaten, honey. Anything wrong?
ROSEMARY: No, not really.
STEPHANIE: You can't fool me, Rosie. Something is eating you up.
ROSEMARY: Aunt Erica.
MARK: What has that witch been up to now?
(Rosemary begins to cry)
STEPHANIE: Rosie? Sweetie, what's wrong?
MARK: Darling, it can't be THAT bad.
ROSEMARY: Yes, it can, Mark. I got a letter from the hospital board.
STEPHANIE: What did it say?
ROSEMARY: That I was ordered to get an abortion, or leave the baby for someone to pick up!
MARK: I can certainly see the fine hand of Erica on this one!
STEPHANIE: It's bad enough that she wants to take Hannah's daughter, but she wants you to give up your son! She is beyond the barrel evil!
ROSEMARY: Erica wants to sell the baby on the black market!
STEPHANIE: She is evil all right.
MARK: She won't get away with this, Rosemary. I will assure you of that. She thinks I have no power, but I do.
STEPHANIE: And the Rendell money is also at your disposal.
MARK: Thank you, Stephanie.

(Rosemary is given a handkerchief by Mark; and Stephanie hugs her best friend.)

Scene Four: Astrid McIntyre's apartment. Amy Smythe Andrucci is on the phone with her former husband, Eric (whose voice is Chad Michael Murray, who played him on Smythewood).

AMY: I see you finally got the time to call me.
ERIC: I was busy.
AMY (icily): I am sure you were.
ERIC: What is this all about, Amy?
AMY: You and I haven't ever been at loggerheads like this.
ERIC: You don't trust me.
AMY: And why should I? When I find out who you cheated on me with.
ERIC (stunned): You found out?
AMY: Erica Harper?! Of all people, why did you sleep with that wicked woman?
ERIC: She seduced me!
AMY: Why were you foolish enough to fall for that woman?
ERIC: She was exciting!
AMY: You've been this way since the miscarriage.
ERIC: Will you ever get over it?!
AMY: Damn it! I lost OUR baby! And then I find out that I cannot carry a baby FULL term! And where were YOU? Finding someone new!
ERIC: I understand!
AMY: No you don't! I think you have lost all sense.
ERIC: What are you saying?
AMY: I am filing for divorce!

(Amy is stone faced and determined.)

Scene Five: The Beanpot. Wendy and Eric are eating an early lunch.

WENDY: I know this is a lot to go through. A marriage upcoming, and you being adopted as a Harper. It's a lot, isn't it?
ERIC: It's a lot to digest.
WENDY: Dane was certainly no father to you, and neither was he to Nicky. Now that pig is dead. You haven't had a father figure. And where was I?
ERIC: You were worried about him getting at you.
WENDY: But you grew up without any parents.
ERIC: I did the best I could. And Aunt Vivienne was wonderful.
WENDY: I vowed to make it up to you, and I will.
ERIC: You have, Mom, and you still are.
WENDY: I can't wait to be married to Michael. I will be with the man I love.

(Eric hugs his mother.)

(Voice of Pauley Perrette: "Harpers Falls: A New Beginning will continue in a moment, here on ONtv.")

Scene Six: Astrid's apartment.

ERIC: You can't be serious.
AMY: I am indeed serious, there is nothing more to say. I want a divorce.
ERIC: You know we have a pre-nup!
AMY: Don't you worry about me. You know I won't touch a dime of your money. I have means enough of my own to take care of myself.
ERIC: Ah, yes. The Smythe money.
AMY: Just like your family's money.
ERIC: Touche.
AMY: I will make this as civil as possible.
ERIC: You don't want any of my money?
AMY: Of course not.
ERIC: That is fine then. A nice civil divorce.
AMY: Yeah, I will make arrangements to contact you when I get a court date.
ERIC: Very well.
AMY: Good bye, Eric.
ERIC: I am sorry, Amy.
AMY: Too late for regrets, but for what it's worth, I too am sorry.
ERIC: Good bye, Amy.
(Amy hangs up the phone, and starts to cry. Astrid comes in.)
ASTRID: I am sorry, Amy.

(Astrid holds Amy while she sobs)

Scene Seven: Stephanie's apartment.

ROSEMARY: I shouldn't have fallen apart like that.
STEPHANIE: Don't be sorry for that, Rosie. Your aunt did you a dirty turn, you have rights to be upset.
ROSEMARY: I am more worried about the baby.
MARK: We will take care of you.
ROSEMARY: I am so blessed by you all.
(The doorbell rings)
STEPHANIE: Who is it?
PATRICIA: Rosemary's great aunt, Patricia.
ROSEMARY: Aunt Patricia?
PATRICIA: Are you all right, darling? You've been crying.
ROSEMARY: Yeah.
STEPHANIE: Erica, again.
PATRICIA: I know, and this time, I have had it with her and her dangerous antics.
STEPHANIE: Do you need any help?
PATRICIA: Any help will be appreciated.

(Patricia comforts Rosemary while she and Stephanie plan to bring Erica down)

Scene Eight: Erica's apartment.

ERICA: Hartselle, are you there?
HARTSELLE: Of course, ma'am.
ERICA: I heard you sent that letter from the hospital to Rosemary.
HARTSELLE: Indeed.
ERICA: Good work.
HARTSELLE: What will it benefit you to have Rosemary give up her baby?
ERICA: To keep another heir out of the family.
HARTSELLE: All this hurt to get rid of heirs.
ERICA: That money was supposed to go to me. They are nothing but interlopers.
HARTSELLE: Should I push the envelope more?
ERICA: Yes, I want to drive Rosemary to a nervous breakdown!
HARTSELLE (horrified): She is your niece!
ERICA: A bit of collateral damage.
HARTSELLE: Ma'am! How can you say that?
ERICA: Oh, come on, Hartselle. You should know me by now.
HARTSELLE: Yeah, I do.

(Erica hangs up the phone, an evil smile on her face)

Scene Nine: Harper Memorial Hospital. Stephanie and Patricia, after making sure that Rosemary and Mark are in safe hands, goes to the Chief of Staff's office.

STEPHANIE: Dr. Stevenson?
ABBY: Yes?
STEPHANIE: I am Stephanie Rendell, Rosemary Wilson's best friend, Erica Harper is harassing her, using her position on the Hospital board.
ABBY: I know. She is becoming a liability.
PATRICIA: What are we to do?
ABBY: I can't have her outright removed, because it would take a full vote.
PATRICIA: I am the board chairman, and I will take that responsibility.
(Stephanie's phone rings)
STEPHANIE: Hang on. (She steps out of the office)
ABBY: Are you sure that will work?
PATRICIA: It has to. Erica has too much power, and she is so undisciplined, that it's becoming dangerous!
(Enter a horrified Stephanie)
STEPHANIE: Rosemary was taken to Mass General!
ABBY: Oh my god!
PATRICIA: What happened?
STEPHANIE (angered): Erica! She did it again! She had her sicko assistant, Hartselle, send her another letter!
ABBY: I will call Dr. Lowndes, he is the OB/GYN head at Mass General. He will meet us at your apartment, Stephanie.
PATRICIA: This time, Erica has gone too far. She is off the board, as of now.

(the three women go to Abby's car and drive up to Boston)

Scene Ten: Stephanie's apartment.

ROSEMARY: I can't deal with it.
MARK: Honey, we're going to stop Erica. She has to learn that she can't torment you like this.
ROSEMARY: I can't do it.
(Enter Stephanie, Abby, Patricia and Dr. Lowndes)
STEPHANIE: Rosie, are you ok?
ABBY: I called Dr. Lowndes.
ROSEMARY: I am losing it here.
PATRICIA: We're here for you, darling. Erica will pay for what she is doing, ok?
DR. LOWNDES: I am going to have an ambulance called to bring her to Mass General.
PATRICIA: I don't understand why Erica is doing this.
(Rosemary screams)
STEPHANIE: What is it, sweetie?
ROSEMARY: My water broke.
ABBY: I will help you, Dr. Lowndes.
DR. LOWNDES: Thank you, Dr. Stevenson.

(Abby and Dr. Lowndes direct the gurney into the apartment and the paramedics get Rosemary out of the apartment. Stephanie and Mark follow, along with Patricia. The scene fades)

(Voice of Madeline Zima: "On the next Harpers Falls: A New Beginning...")
CHRISTINA (to Sheila): Your cousin is in the hospital.

AMY (to Astrid): Thanks for allowing me to stay here with you.

DR. LOWNDES (to the family): The only foreseeable way to save her and the baby is a caesarian section.
