Aries and April Have a Meeting with Mercedes Miller


“NEW DAY”

SCENE ONE: GORDON BAY BEACH

Jordan is walking on the beach. She has a rather somber look on her face, and then it changes over to a look of disgust when she runs into Ryan.

JORDAN
Ryan, I really was hoping that I didn’t run into you.

RYAN
Sorry Jordan, you can’t really help who you run into in public, now can you?

JORDAN
Sometimes I totally wish that I could. Look, you know what? The beach is huge I’m just going to walk to the other side so I don’t have to deal with you.

RYAN
No, we need to talk. You know I love that you broke up with me and decided that I was a cheater because I kissed Trisha, but you had been sleeping with Adam the entire time. Hypocritical don’t you think?

JORDAN
Look, no one said that I was a saint. I know you aren’t so why would you assume that I am? I didn’t want to cheat on you but Adam has always had a special place in my heart.

RYAN
So does Trisha, but I didn’t sleep with her. You went ahead and did something that was so unthinkable.

JORDAN
You would have slept with Trisha if you had a chance. You know that, don’t try to flip this all on me because I followed through with my feelings.

Ryan gives Jordan a quizzical look.



SCENE TWO: HEENAN: GEORGE’S OFFICE

George is sitting at his desk. He is writing something down when there is a knock on his door.

GEORGE
It’s open, come on in.

The door opens and Sarah walks in.

GEORGE
Just the person that I wanted to see.

SARAH
Well, when I got the call needless to say I was shocked. What’s this all about George.

GEORGE
Well I have a proposition for you but first I think we need to catch up. Have a seat.

Sarah walks in and sits down in the chair across from George.

SARAH
Okay, so what’s up? I don’t think Taylor wants to keep Christopher just so I can have a meeting with you.

GEORGE
Well I’ll try to keep this short and simple. You know that Heenan is about to launch its first clothing line. It’s going to be amazing and I want you to be a part of it.

SARAH
George, I haven’t done any modeling in the last two or three years. Why would you want me?

GEORGE
Your work with Manning was simple to die for. You are still known for launching that Fresh Face of Glamour campaign and I want for you to do the same for Xtensive.

SARAH
George, I really don’t know what to say. I never thought about modeling again. You really surprise me.

GEORGE
Well I hope that you return the favor and say yes.

Sarah smiles at George.

SCENE THREE: HEENAN: ARIES’S OFFICE

Aries is at his desk looking through a folder, April walks in.

ARIES
Well I wasn’t expecting you to come in so soon.

APRIL
Do you really think I was going to miss a meeting with the Mercedes Miller? Seriously she is the hottest young designer to come out of New York fashion week! I love her collection, if she seriously partners with us do you know the publicity it would get us?

ARIES
That’s why I’m hoping to work my Australian charm and getting her to want to work for us. I think you will be that extra good luck charm for me though.

APRIL
I hope so, we are going to do some great work together.
ARIES
Misses Simpson, I don’t I could have said it any better myself.

Aries and April kiss. The door opens and the two stop and towards the door.

APRIL
Oh my god, you’re Mercedes Miller.

MERCEDES
That I am and if that’s the type of welcome I’m going to get every time I walk into a room, I think I can really get used to it!

SCENE FOUR:WATERVIEW CAFÉ

Sonya is drinking a cup of coffee at the table. She looks up and sees Trisha rolling Drew into the restaurant. She gets to the table and takes a seat.

SONYA
I’m so happy that you decided to get out of the house, it’s been three months since you really had a chance.

TRISHA
Well when you are raising a child on your own, it really doesn’t give you much leeway to get out.

SONYA
Look, I know that Damian gave you and Drew the cold shoulder but you could have always came to me. You know grandma would love to watch him.

TRISHA
Mom, you are the mayor, you really don’t have time to be babysitting. Things are getting better though, Drew is a little older so I can take him more places and Ryan has been helping out a lot.

SONYA
Ryan is helping you? Well, I know that he was in love with you but Drew isn’t his child.

TRISHA
Actually mom, he may be.

SONYA
Trisha, what are you talking about?

TRISHA
Mom, I had another paternity test ordered.

SONYA
Those things are full proof, why are you getting another one then?

TRISHA
I just have an odd inkling. I just feel like Damian was so invested at the beginning but after the first paternity test, he became more apprehensive. I didn’t think he would do that since Drew is his.

SONYA
Maybe since this is the first time that he’s a father he feels like he wouldn’t be able to do a good job. I don’t think it was necessary to get another paternity test done.

TRISHA
Well, it’s done now, I got another sample from both Ryan and Damian and I sent it to an independent lab outside of the hospital. I really want to know if Damian is really that afraid of being a father because it’s his first time. The way he is treating Drew isn’t right.

SONYA
Well, why would you think that Ryan would be any better?

TRISHA
Because he has shown me that he cares for Drew genuinely.

SONYA
Are you sure that it’s Drew that he cares about, or is it you?

Trisha glares at Sonya.

SCENE FIVE: HEENAN: GEORGE’S OFFICE

SARAH
It’s a rather interesting offer.

GEORGE
Well, I know that interesting does things for you. I mean it could definitely help take your mind off of Natalya’s baby daddy drama.

SARAH
You know, I think your right. I’ve been so focused on trying to find out Christopher’s paternity and with everything that happened with Adam, I think I really do need an escape.

GEORGE
Well Sarah, there is a contract with your name on it. All you have to do is put that gorgeous signature on the dotted line!

SARAH
You know, I do really love the idea but what do I have to do?

GEORGE
I want you as our spokesperson, you have the look that every company would kill for. You are the epitome of beauty. I just need for you to couple up with Mercedes Miller’s designs and kill it for Xclusive and Heenan.
Sarah nods her head in approval.

SCENE SIX: GORDON BAY BEACH

RYAN
Your feelings? What about mine, your brother has taken someone from me for well over a year. You have no idea what that’s like. You were always obsessed with being with Adam. You wanted to steal him from Sarah for some time now. Good for you that you finally got him, but I would have hoped that it wouldn’t have been at my expense.

JORDAN
I did what my heart wanted. You haven’t done a thing for me in the last few months.

RYAN
Jordan, I’ve been so preoccupied, I didn’t think that you would mind. I have a kid. Sophie takes a little more attention than I thought that she ever would.

JORDAN
Your daughter is turning eighteen in December, why are you paying so much attention to the little brat? I was your girlfriend, I was supposed to be the most important woman in your life.

RYAN
Your kidding me? No one comes in front my child. Not even you, this is why I can’t stand you. You want everything to be about you.

JORDAN
And that little drama queen Trisha didn’t? I mean come on she couldn’t even let her sister get a proper burial before she miraculously ended up pregnant. I wouldn’t be surprised if she wanted to get pregnant.

RYAN
Do you really think that about your nephew? That precious little boy? You are such a heartless bitch Jordan. You really don’t know anything about happiness. I would hope that you would think more of your family than that.

Ryan storms off.

JORDAN
Little do you know, little do you know.

SCENE SEVEN: HEENAN: ARIES’S OFFICE

Aries goes around the desk and shakes Mercedes’ hand.

ARIES
Miss Miller it’s so nice to meet you.

MERCEDES
Please, don’t put miss anywhere near my name. Just call me Mercedes or Mercy.

APRIL
I really like Mercy. Well, let me introduce myself. I’m April Heenan Simpson, George Simpson’s daughter and the lucky woman married to this strapping young gentleman.

ARIES
And I’m Aries Simpson. We are the co heads of this project. You would have had a meeting with the department head but she couldn’t come in early due to a prior engagement.

MERCEDES
Look, you don’t have to talk all business lingo to me. I’m a straight shooter. You know I know that Heenan isn’t known for being in the fashion business, but I’m willing to try this. Your father has a great business record. I’ve been approached by many other companies to help co-market my designs but I don’t think any of them can beat Heenan.

APRIL
You are choosing very wisely.

ARIES
You are not going to be disappointed, we already have a face in mind to be involved in all the advertisements for the line. I think you will be very happy with whom we chose.

MERCEDES
Well, I’d definitely love to see that person. I hope that she would embody the sketches that I sent you guys.

APRIL
Trust me, she does. She is simply stunning and is no novice when it comes to major ad campaigns.

MERCEDES
Well, don’t keep my suspense, who is it?

Aries walks behind his desk and pulls out a folder. He walks back over and hands it to Mercedes. She opens the folder and a picture of Sarah is sitting in it.

SCENE EIGHT: WATERVIEW CAFÉ

TRISHA
Ryan cares about both of us.

SONYA
You know it takes a hell of a man to care for a child that isn’t his.

TRISHA
Ryan is a beauty person inside and out, you know that.

SONYA
You’re right but….

TRISHA
What’s wrong?

SONYA
Oh my god…

Trisha turns around and sees Tony walk in.

SCENE NINE: HEENAN

Mercedes stands with her mouth open.

APRIL
What’s wrong.

MERCEDES
Nothing, she’s perfect! I’m more in now than I was previously!

ARIES
Awesome, I’ll call George now!

Aries walks over to his phone. He calls George. The scene shifts over to George’s office. The phone rings and George answers.

GEORGE
Hello…. Really? Are you sure? Awesome I’ll tell her.

George hangs up.

GEORGE
Guess what?

SARAH
What?

GEORGE
Mercedes Miller, has signed on for Xclusive and she wants you as the face of it.

Sarah’s mouth drops.

GEORGE
So what do you say?

A smile comes over Sarah’s face.

SARAH
Count me in!

The scene fades to the end credits.

Sarah as the face of Heenan's new fashion line and her getting back into modeling I actually love the path of Sarah getting back into fashion because not only does it suit her but she also has the experience too modeling for Manning Enterprises being their face for their glamour line but I am glad that Heenan was able to land Mercedes Miller in terms of partnership and what not because not only does it put Heenan ahead of their competition but it also puts their product out there more

Trisha getting another DNA test done, I wonder why that is? Maybe because secretly she actually wants her son to be Ryan's never mind the fact that she and Damian were all set to have a life together and they were in love but I just have a feeling the baby, Drew he will turn out to be Ryan's and not Damian's and that the first DNA test was tampered with but if that is the case I wonder who else knows about that?

And since Tony is back in town and Trisha saw him, I wonder if Trisha will interact with him?

Jordan and Ryan talking about their break-up, could Jordan be any more heartless? But at the same time she did bring up some good points where Ryan was concerned because here he was always pining away for someone he couldn't have but yet Jordan did the exact same thing so two wrongs don't make a right considering they both cheated on each other

This episode is a VAST improvement over the first one. I'm loving Sarah getting roped back into modeling. I could see this going several different ways.

I think Jordan was being a bit OOC, but that could just be since we haven't seen her in a couple of months now.

Again, good episode!

This is my first time reading this so I'll have to catch on as the show continues...

Good episode. I know Ryan is Drew's father. The way Trisha describe Damian's interaction with the kid and Jordan "little do you know." quote gave it away. I'm looking forward to this story as well as the modeling career of Sarah.
