CLOSE TO HOME EPISODE TWO HUNDRED FIFTY SIX OAD: Monday September 30, 2013 CREATED BY: ALICIA SORRENTINO WRITTEN BY: ALICIA SORRENTINO DIRECTED BY: CHRISTOPHER GOUTMAN RATED: TV – 14 DLV ![]() Tanner Asks for Another Chance SCENE ONE: HILLARY’S OFFICE Quinn is going through Hillary’s drawer and finds a folder. He opens the folder and a starts to read. A few seconds later, I look of horror falls over Quinn’s face. The door opens and Hillary walks in, Quinn looks at her as if he is in shock. HILLARY What’s wrong Quinn? You look like you saw a ghost. QUINN What are you doing?!?! HILLARY What does it look like? I’m about to come into my office to get some work done. We can discuss why you broke in here later but first, I need for you to get out of my chair. QUINN You don’t know what you’re doing Hillary, you can’t let him have a third of this place! HILLARY Really? I don’t see why not. I mean, I didn’t even let you have a third so why not let someone I actually like have a third? QUINN You don’t know what you’re doing. You shouldn’t be bringing him back! HILLARY Oh, I know exactly what I am doing. You see, I know you would react like this and guess what? It’s frankly quite priceless. Now, I have a meeting in a few minutes so it would be in your best interest to leave unless you want an ugly situation. Quinn drops the folder and has a shocked look on his face, prompting Hillary to turn around. HILLARY Oh, well I guess you can sit in on the meeting. He’s already here. It is revealed that Tony is standing there. The scene fades to the opening credits. SCENE TWO: HEENAN ENTREPRISES: FIFTH FLOOR BREAK ROOM Tanner is drinking coffee in the break room. The door opens and Krista takes a few steps in. Tanner turns around and looks at her. They both stare for a few seconds before Krista goes to turn around and leave the room. TANNER Krista, wait. Krista turns around and looks at Tanner. TANNER You know that you don’t have to avoid me. KRISTA Well, what makes you think I’m avoiding you? TANNER You haven’t returned any of my calls or texts. I’ve tried to visit you in your office and hell, I even went to the apartment and wanted to give you flowers and chocolate. KRISTA I don’t want your flowers or your chocolates. TANNER Well, I at least want a chance to explain myself. KRISTA Explain yourself? You mean, you want a chance to explain why you cheated on me with Carlotta? TANNER Well when you say it like that. Look, I know I was wrong but I can fix it. KRISTA How can you fix this? I mean come on you don’t have a time machine that would miraculously just send you back to five minutes before hand. You know that there is no way to fix this and there is no chance in hell that I’m going to forgive you. TANNER Krista, please just hear me out. KRISTA I am not going to hear you out. I’m tired of your lame-brained excuses as to why you cheated on me. Look, as far as I’m concerned we’re through, but there is something you need to do for me. Tanner gives Krista a quizzical look. SCENE THREE: SIMPSON STUDIO Aries walks out of the bedroom with his phone in his hand. Bianca is in her wheelchair. He goes over to her and hands her the phone. BIANCA What is this? ARIES Just read it. I don’t really know what to say about it. Bianca starts to read. BIANCA What kind of crap is this? ARIES I don’t know, I guess someone knows something about us. BIANCA What do you mean about us? This has more to do with you than it does to me. ARIES The same thing that is has to do with me. BIANCA Which is? All that I get from this is that someone named Justin is happy that they get to see you soon. ARIES Bianca, Justin is our brother. BIANCA Wait, seriously? I never knew his name. ARIES I thought I mentioned it once or twice. I mean I never thought he would be coming to America. BIANCA I wonder what inspired him to come, I mean it’s not like he’s going to see much here. ARIES Maybe he finally wants to meet you and catch up. I really don’t know what his motives are but I really can’t wait to see him. BIANCA Me either, I just have to wonder, how soon is soon? SCENE FOUR: TRISHA’S APARTMENT Trisha opens the door to the apartment. She rolls Drew in and is shocked to see Damian sitting on the couch. TRISHA What in the hell are you doing here? DAMIAN Well, I came to see my son. I hope you don’t mind. TRISHA Now you’re worried about your son? You know that you are a few months late now. You could have helped me with a long time ago. What really inspired this visit? DAMIAN Fine, I want to talk about us getting back together for the sake of our child. TRISHA Damian, there is no us. There hasn’t been an us for a long time. So, I’m sorry you need to get out of here before I call the police. DAMIAN Are you sure that’s a good idea? TRISHA I really can’t see why it wouldn’t be. DAMIAN Because, you need to know about Drew. Trisha gives Damian a quizzical look. SCENE FIVE: HEENAN ENTERPRISES: FIFTH FLOOR BREAK ROOM TANNER Baby, whatever I can do for you. I’m going to do. KRISTA You can leave, I don’t want to see your face much less hear what you have to say. It’s enough I have to work with a damn cheater, I’d rather not have to see him when I don’t have to. TANNER Look, I’ve told you that I’m sorry. KRISTA Sorry doesn’t cut it. You cheat on me. You made me your fiancé and cheated on me with the first whore that threw herself at you. TANNER Now come on you don’t have to talk about Carlotta like that. KRISTA Oh, now you’re defending her honor, and they say chivalry is dead. TANNER Krista, you are being unreasonable. KRISTA I’m unreasonable? But I’m still taking the time to talk to you and you cheated on me. Wow, so unreasonable. TANNER That’s not what I meant. KRISTA Obviously it’s not, look I don’t want to argue with you, just stay out of my way and I’ll stay out of yours. TANNER I’m not letting you go Krista, I’m going to fight for you. KRISTA You’re going to be fighting a losing battle buddy. I just want for us to get through this campaign launch and then one of us is going to have move projects here. TANNER I think we can work this out. KRISTA Yeah, no we can’t. You are not going to make my life here miserable. We can’t just keep working together, I refuse to have to worry about you and Carlotta. TANNER This isn’t about me and Carlotta, this is about me and you. KRISTA There’s no me and you. Tanner, I’m serious, I’m done with you. TANNER Krista please. KRISTA No, I’m not putting up with this. Krista grabs her things and leaves. SCENE SIX: SIMPSON STUDIO ARIES He didn’t say. BIANCA Well, don’t you think that would be a good thing to know? I mean we don’t want him showing up at the most inconvenient time ever. ARIES Well, I seriously doubt that he would come like today. We at least know that he is planning on showing up, we at least have some notice. BIANCA Yeah, but I don’t want to meet him while I’m stuck in a wheel chair. ARIES Honey, you started therapy with Valerie. It’s not a quick process, you know that. BIANCA I know but I thought that I would be walking by now. ARIES Look, you will be but I don’t think you realize that it takes a lot of work. BIANCA I know that it takes work. I’ve been putting in work ever since the accident happened. ARIES I know but I know that you’ll be walking real soon. BIANCA I sure hope so. SCENE SEVEN: THE JOINT: HILLARY’S OFFICE QUINN You cannot be serious. TONY What’s wrong bro, you weren’t expecting me? I mean who did you think the new partner was going to be, Oprah? QUINN I wasn’t expecting her but definitely not you. TONY Well, so sorry that I wasn’t what you expected. Just know that we are going to be working very closely for a little while now. HILLARY Well, I can already tell this is the start of very nice partnership, I think I’ll go take inventory. You two have some fun. Hillary walks out of the room. QUINN Look, you should have never came back. TONY Oh, well where should I have been? Back in the woods? QUINN I think that would be a better place. There isn’t really anywhere else that you belong. You are not going to ruin what I have going here. TONY Oh what do you mean? Muscling your way into this business just because your own hasn’t been good in a year? Or was it to cover up the fact that you murdered Steve. QUINN I did not murder Steve, I would never take a human life. Unlike you, I mean we all know what you tried to do to Carmen. TONY I didn’t do anything, anything that you can prove anyway. QUINN Of course you have everyone here believing that. Everyone but me, I know you Tony and you are aren’t too far from me. TONY No, I would never kill someone, you on the other hand, I have the benefit of the doubt about. QUINN Get out of my face, I don’t have to put up with you. TONY Oh really? My thirty-three percent says otherwise. QUINN Great, I really do have to put up with you. TONY So sorry, I guess you need to learn that you aren’t the only Smalls who knows anything about business. QUINN Aren’t you supposed to be a doctor? TONY You know I haven’t had my license in years but don’t worry, I think business management is a better field for me. You know your way out so go ahead and bid your farewell. Quinn snarls. He gets up and walks out. Tony smirks. SCENE EIGHT: TRISHA’S APARTMENT TRISHA What about Drew? My baby is none of your concern. DAMIAN He’s my son, I think he involves me. TRISHA You never cared before. DAMIAN I did, but you couldn’t tell. Just make sure that you listen to this carefully. You have to really think about what you’re doing getting rid of me. TRISHA I don’t have to, I know exactly what I’m doing. I want nothing to do with you so get out my apartment. DAMIAN I just came to see my son and you are acting like a total bitch. Trisha slaps Damian. TRISHA Don’t you dare. Get the hell out. DAMIAN Fine, have it your way. Damian walks over to the stroller and looks at Drew with a smile. He leaves the apartment, closing the door behind him. Damian grabs his phone and dials a number then putting it to his ear. DAMIAN We need to talk. The scene fades. SCENE NINE: THE JOINT Hillary is behind the bar drinking a bottle of water. Quinn is storming out of the back. HILLARY Well someone doesn’t look too happy. QUINN Of course I’m not, you didn’t even ask for my permission. HILLARY I didn’t need it, I have controlling interest, what I say goes. So if you want, you can sell me those shares now. QUINN Over my dead body. HILLARY Are you sure you want to talk about dead bodies, I mean you are a suspect in a murder. QUINN I didn’t do it. HILLARY Sure you didn’t… Quinn shakes his head as he leaves out of the bar. The scene fades out. |

I wonder if Damian is going to sue Trisha for full custody of their son Drew because if he is and he is calling the lawyer to make his case then Trisha may not have a shot at getting custody especially if Damian is one step ahead of Trisha Tony, Quinn's brother is back in Gordon Bay, this is great because what better way to get underneath Quinn's skin and not to mention Tony I can actually get behind his character this time around And Tanner should just know when to move on But I never knew Bianca and Aries had a brother, I knew Aries has a half brother since Aries' late mother had an older son but I never knew Paul Simpson had another son |

While I'm SO happy that Tony's back on the show I can't help but wonder if this relaunch will work. CTH at 256 episodes has had more "relaunches" than DOOL has had in 50 years. The only story that I'm even remotely interested in at this point is Tony's story. Bianca/Aries random brother is weird to me. Has he ever been mentioned before? If so it was nothing more than a passing comment so it's weird that you're building up his return to me. Of course I'll be along for the latest reboot, but I'm just not sure how many more times CTH can do this. |

The brother has been mentioned many times. It was more in the earlier episodes of the show however. It does lead towards something though. |

I have to agree. I think this reboot hurt the previous momentum you had going. I was so into the Christopher story but it wasn't even mentioned in the recap so I'm not sure if much advanced on that story. And I really think we missed out on some key scenes like Steve's death. This episode was a little hard for me because I wasn't really interested in any of these stories. Maybe it was because we missed much of the action on screen or maybe it was the fact it was the first episode back of a new reboot. I'll stick around because I do want to see where things lead this time around. |
