( Twisted&Tragic /#3 )
[ Kristyn slowly walks over & leans down by
her husband/ Turning him over she gasps
at the sight of blood on his forehead. ]
[ Shaking him…he finally wakes up. ]
JARED: …Kristyn?
How did I get on the floor???
KRISTYN: I'll go get you a towel… [ starts walking off ]
JARED: Wait, it happened again… [ feels his forehead ]
Didn't it?!!
[ FLASHBACK: EP '103 PARYLYZER' ]
AMBER: I wonder what happened to her husband…
SKI: Huh?
AMBER: Didn't you see him?
He was limping all around… [ E N D ]
[ walks up with towel ] KRISTYN: Here, I'll just…
[ snatches it from her ] JARED: No, I got it.
Kristyn, this has gone far enough!
KRISTYN: I'm sorry
JARED: Yeah, I know! That's all you ever say…
But you never do anything to change! [ gets up ]
KRISTYN: Where are you going?
JARED: I can't force you to get help anymore…
and I can't deal with you like this
KRISTYN: So, what now?
JARED: I think you can figure it out…
You were always good at walking away [ starts going downstairs ]
[ follows him ] KRISTYN: What about us?
JARED: Us? [ looks back ]
There hasn't been any 'us' in a long time! [ walks out the door ]
[ Jared goes to his car with her staying on the steps/
Just as Hithe comes walking up the driveway. ]
JARED: Have fun with her! [ gets in & shuts door ]
HITHE: What?
[ comes down to him ] KRISTYN: Hithe, what are you doing here?
HITHE: Kristyn, I can't be ignored any longer…
I came here to talk to you
[ Kristyn sees her husband watching them/ She hugs
Hithe and looks dead at him until he drives off. ]
[ backs up ] HITHE: What is going on?
KRISTYN: Isn't this what you've always wanted?
HITHE: What do you mean?
KRISTYN: Come on, Hithe…
were free…he'll never find out
& now you can finally have me
[ Hithe just looks at her, not knowing what
to say. ]
[ At TA, In Mark's office. ]
[ on his cell ] MARK: Hey Ski, it's Mark…
Man, things have been so busy lately
and I haven't heard from you…
I was actually wondering if you could [ knock on the door ]
I have to go, call me later!
MARK: Come in!
AMBER: Hey, how's it going?
MARK: Honestly, pretty crazy!
I was trying to get Ski in here to help,
But I can't get a hold of him…
AMBER: Yeah, you know…
Things were a lot easier on you
when you had a manager around
MARK: I know, but there's no
one able to fill the position…
AMBER: Are you sure?
There's isn't anyone at all… [ looks at him ]
MARK: I mean, I've thought about it…
But, how could I even ask…
AMBER: Mark, no one can deny things
went a lot smoother when he was here
MARK: Yeah, I know…
AMBER: So, since you already know…
Why don't you just give it a try?
It may be easier than you think
[ Amber turns to leaves… ]
MARK: Wait! [ she turns around ]
Thanks Amber!
[ She smiles & exits. ]
[ Back up front at s/c, Monica comes over. ]
MONICA: So. . .what did he say?
AMBER: Well, he didn't say much…
But I know he's been thinking about it
MONICA: Yeah, after everything that's happened
with them…I can understand his hesitation
AMBER: I just hope he can get over it…
Because it would really help them both
MONICA: Yeah, more than they realize
[ Inside Kristyn's, her & Hithe are sitting in
the living room ]
HITHE: So, what happened?
KRISTYN: I don't know…
I remember we were arguing and then the
next thing I know he's laying on the ground
HITHE: You don't know how he got there?
[ She stays silent. ]
KRISTYN: Not really
HITHE: What's that mean?
KRISTYN: Well, I did slap him because
he was trying to make me stay here…
I didn't know what else to do
HITHE: Then what?
KRISTYN: That's what I don't know…
HITHE: Did you push him at all?
KRISTYN: I don't know, maybe…
I must have blacked out or something
HITHE: Kristyn, how long has this been
going on?
KRISTYN: For awhile, I guess…
I just figured I was stressed because
of the pregnancy or because of my husband
HITHE: This doesn't sound like just stress
I think you should go see a doctor…
[ gets up ] KRISTYN: That's what everyone keeps saying…
I'm not crazy, Hithe!
HITHE: I know, your not…
But look at what's happened already!
Your kids are gone, your husband left…
KRISTYN: My husband "left" a long time
ago
HITHE: But if not for him, you should do it
for your kids. . . and your future baby [ smiles ]
Don't you wanna get better for them?
KRISTYN: Yeah, of course I do…
I can't go alone though
HITHE: Don't worry…
I'll take you
KRISTYN: You still wanna be around me
after everything you found out?
HITHE: I'm here for you, Kristyn…
for whatever you need and that's never gonna
change
[ She just looks up at him, not saying anything. ]
[ Back in Mark's office. ]
MARK: Hello Jim?
JIM: Yeah, this is Jim…
MARK: Hey, it's Mark…
How's it going?
JIM: I'm good,
How's everything there?
MARK: Here? Well, actually that's what
I was calling about…
You know, we still don't have a manager
JIM: Yeah, sorry about that…
I'm still looking into trying to transfer someone
MARK: It's OK, I kinda have a different
idea about what to do
JIM: Oh yeah? What's that…
[ Kristyn's in a room, waiting on her doctor. ]
KRISTYN: What's taking so long for him
to come back?
It's making me nervous
HITHE: I know, they're probably waiting
on your test results
KRISTYN: What was all that for anyway?
All those questions
HITHE: I have no idea…but don't worry
whatever it is we'll get through it
[ The doctor comes in. ]
DOCTOR: Kristyn?
KRISTYN: Yeah…
DOCTOR: Based on all the test and what you've
told us I've come up with a diagnosis
KRISTYN: OK…what is it?
DOCTOR: Well, it's pretty clear from these
results that you have bi-polar disorder
KRISTYN: What? So, I am crazy
DOCTOR: No, not at all. . .
It's a disorder of the brain, but it can be treated
and I will be putting you on some medication
that should help you
KRISTYN: And if it doesn't?
DOCTOR: Then will go from there…
KRISTYN: How is this gonna affect my baby?
DOCTOR: The medicine I'm putting you on
Is the safest one for your condition
KRISTYN: But is there any risk?
DOCTOR: Well, the normal rate for birth defects
Is 3% + the percentage for taking the medicine
are much less…
KRISTYN: OK, I guess…. [ looks down ]
DOCTOR: Alright, I'll be right back with your
prescription…
[ he leaves ]
HITHE: You OK?
KRISTYN: No, I can't believe it...
How could I have never known this?
HITHE: I guess sometimes you don't realize
until later on in life
KRISTYN: I know, but right now?
How am I suppose to handle this and
everything else?
HITHE: You're right, it will be hard
But you can do it...
KRISTYN: Why are you being so nice?
Everyone else has left me…
HITHE: Well, that's not me and like I said before
I'm here and I would never leave you
[ Getting up, he sits by her & holds her hand ]
/ Then his cell starts ringing. . . ]
HITHE: I'll be right out here…OK?
KRISTYN: OK
[ outside the door ] HITHE: Hello…
[ stays silent for a second ] You want me to what?
[ Back at the store by self checks. ]
AMBER: It's almost time to go…
Do you think Mark called?
MONICA: I don't know
[ walks up ] DINA: Called who?
AMBER: I heard our new manager will
be stopping in soon… [ looks at Monica ]
MONICA: Yeah, I heard something about
that too [ smiles ]
DINA: Really, who?
AMBER: I don't know…
Someone from a different store, I think
DINA: Well, it's about time!
MONICA: Yeah, I can't wait to meet him!
[ Marks approaches the front & goes over by the window/
Just then a familiar face comes through the door. ]
DINA: What is he doing here?
AMBER: Who? [ looks away ]
DINA: Hithe, he just walked in the door!
AMBER: Did he really?
MONICA: I don't know
DINA: OK, what's going on?
AMBER: Maybe Mark realized it was a mistake
letting him go to begin with…
MONICA: Yeah, and we desperately need a manager!
So, it might as well be someone who knows all about it…
DINA: What? You're serious…
MONICA: Yeah, we are
DINA: I can't believe they let him back
[ walks up ] HITHE: Amber, Monica….Dina [ smiles ]
That's right, I'm back….and this time around
things are gonna be different!
