05/14/2002 Bianca Is Sentenced



"J.R. sleeps on the couch at Chandler Mansion. He hears Dixie call out his name. In the middle of his dream, a woman's hand strokes his face. "You came back", says a smiling J.R. He opens his eyes and is rattled by who he sees. It's Hayley, who apologizes for scaring him. He asks what she wants. She tells him that she felt he didn't want to be alone. When she tries to put her hand on his shoulders, he flinches and tells her that he doesn't need to be around anyone. Hayley insists that she will be there for him. J.R. feels that no one is around all the time and eventually everyone tires of him. Everyone except his mother. J.R. tells his sister that if it wasn't for him, Dixie would still be alive. Hayley insists that he was Dixie's greatest source of comfort. J.R. says that Dix was the only one that loves him. Hayley says that Adam loves him and even called her up early this morning to be with him so he wouldn't be alone. J.R. feels he did it because he's scared he might O.D. or hurt Colby. Hayley disagrees. J.R. says that he's scared of himself and wonders what he could do to calm himself down. Hayley has a suggestion--he could get high.

At the Valley Inn, Anna reads a note David left for a lunch date. Just then, the phone rings. Thinking it's David on the phone, she tells the person on the phone that she got his message, but she'll be a little late. It's actually Dixie's doctor in Zurich , Dr. Ludlow, asking to speak to David. When she tells him that he's not available, he tells her to have him call her immediately. Anna gets upset, tears up the note, and leaves the inn.

At the hospital, a nurse gives David a note to call Dr. Ludlow as soon as possible about Dixie. He bumps into Jake in the hallway and asks if Tad made it to Zurich okay. Jake walks past him in anger. David jokes that the two are probably celebrating by now. "You heartless son of a bitch," Jake spats. Seeing David's reaction, Jake realizes Hayward has no clue as to what has happened. David asks what is it that he doesn't know about. Jake says that it's ironic he doesn't know what happened since it's his fault that Dixie is gone. David disagrees and informs him that he got Dixie out of town and she's in her third trimester. Joe comes by and Jake collects himself around the corner. Joe tells Hayward that Dixie died last night. In denial, David insists that her health is good and her heart couldn't have given out. Joe tells him that she was in a car accident in Zurich. Just then, Leo comes off the elevator and tells him that he heard about Dixie and is sorry. A floored David drops the file he had and leaves the area. Leo follows his brother. Joe goes to Jake and comforts his son. After Joe steps away, Jake picks up the file, which is Dixie's, and has a nurse take it back to David's office. Soon, he sees Adam arriving at the hospital and asks if he left J.R. alone. Adam says that it's none of his damn business. Jake informs him that just because Dixie is gone doesn't mean J.R. isn't part of the Martin family. Just then, Mia arrives and tells Jake to back off Adam. Jake leaves. Adam tells Mia that he would never leave his son alone after last night. He tells her that he had Hayley go to watch him. Adam goes to a nurse and demands to see Dr. MacMillian immediately. Mia asks if Zeke is counseling J.R. Adam mentions that Dr. MacMillan can help keep J.R. from taking drugs and have a downward spiral. Mia asks Adam who's looking after him. Chandler insists that he's fine. Mia asks if that was why he was pacing all night. Adam admits that he was thinking about what kind of mother Dixie was and that he never got the chance to tell her how grateful he was to her that she was there for him when he wasn't being a good father to their son. He recalls the hateful things he did to her out of jealousy because Dixie was a better parent than he was. Adam admits that is why he's so worried about his son. Adam begins to cry and Mia hugs her brother-in-law. Jake walks in on the embrace and keeps moving afterward. Anna walks in the hospital to find David and sees the somber outlook inside. She overhears two nurses mention that Dixie's death hit David very hard. A shocked Anna heads out of the hospital to find her husband.

Erica yells at Jack on the phone at home because both Bianca and Kendall are having their arraignments on the same day. Erica hangs up the phone in disgust as Chris walks in. He has Ms. Kane promise to behave as long as Bianca sticks to the plan. Erica is just upset that they all have to be subject to being around Kendall again. Bianca walks in and insists that she doesn't have to and announces that her mother isn't coming to court. Erica says no way. Bianca asks if she wants a rematch of what happened with Kendall pulling a gun on her. She can handle Kendall. Bianca says that there's no telling what Ms. Hart may pull. All the more reason for her to go with her daughter, insists Erica. Chris plans on being there to protect both of them. Erica notices Bianca reading a piece of paper and realizes that she has written down what she wants to say to the judge. Ms. Kane boasts at how proud she is of Bianca for taking responsibility for what she did, even though Kendall started it. Bianca tells her that it was her own decision to drink and drive. The trio leaves for the courthouse.

At the courthouse, reporters and photographers harass Kendall and Ryan as they enter the empty courtroom. Ryan tells her to stay in neutral and clear the record when the proceeding begin. After that, they can hop on his bike and leave for good. Kendall insists that it won't happen because Erica won't let it. She might as well be dead as long as Erica is alive. Her mother has always hated her for not being like her sister. Ryan thinks it is of no concern of them anymore. She feels that Erica won't let Bianca go through any pain as long as she's around. Ryan says that Erica is not the judge, so what she says won't go. Kendall insists that Erica has the D.A. bewitched and probably has even more tricks up her sleeve. Ryan says that he has his own secret weapon that will blow even La Kane out of the water. The couple go back out in the hallway and Kendall asks where is his secret weapon is since it seems to be running late. When she pulls out a cigarette, Ryan tells her that there's no smoking in the building. So what, Kendall quips, since she's going up the river anyway. Just then, Trey comes over and introduces himself to Ms. Hart. She's shocked to see that Ryan has gotten Vanessa's lawyer to defend her. Trey says that the state has nothing on her. Kendall reminds him that they have her confession on tape and in writing. Trey says that as long as she lets him do all the talking, he will get her off scot-free. Moments later, Erica, Chris, and Bianca arrive and spot Trey with Kendall and Ryan. Chris suggests they go inside since the judge is waiting on them. Erica agrees and she goes in with Bianca. Chris holds the door for them and looks at Ryan. Lavery nods back at his father. Trey goes in the courtroom to give Ryan and Kendall some alone time. Ryan reminds her that once the case is settled, they're out of Pine Valley. Kendall thanks him for hiring Trey for her. The duo enter the courtroom.

As Bianca's arraignment begins, Chris tells the judge that Bianca pleads guilty for driving under the influence. The judge asks if she has anything to say. Bianca says that she knows it was wrong to drink and drive, especially since a friend of hers had a sister who died from a drunk driver. In the middle of her speech, Bianca notices Maggie walking in. Ms. Montgomery continues by saying that she is grateful that her accident only resulted in minor bruises and not a fatality. The judge asks the Commonwealth if they have anything to add. Jack's assistant D.A. says that the Commonwealth admires Bianca for her accountability and recommends leniency. The judge also admires Bianca for her honesty and accountability for the accident. However, she did endanger lives with her reckless actions. He sentences her to six months probation. During this time, her license is revoked, she has to attend highway safety classes, and remain in the care of Erica and abide by her rules. Erica hugs Bianca as a jealous Kendall looks on. Chris, Erica, and Bianca head out as Kendall's arraignment begins. Trey tells the judge that his client is pleading not guilty. Erica turns around and hisses, "Absolutely not! I won't have it!"

David comes to the park and recalls the last time that he saw Dixie alive. He begins to cry as Leo places his hand on his brother's shoulder. David tells Leo that there's nothing he can do. He goes on by saying that Jake was right about him being responsible for Dixie's death. Leo disagrees. David points out that he helped her leave Pine Valley and kept her pregnancy a secret. He admits to feeling like a hero for sending her off in a foreign country she knew nothing about. Hayward reveals that Dixie taught him the value of family and how to create one in spite of major drawbacks. David says that he admired and respected her. Leo asks if he also loved Ms. Cooney. Anna walks by as David admits that he did love her and always will. He'll never meet another woman like Dixie and wouldn't want to since she seemed so pure and perfect. On that note, Anna leaves the men alone. Dixie knew their relationship wouldn't last, but he didn't. He didn't get the picture until after he and Anna started getting serious. Leo mentions that he's noticed that the two of them seem more like a real married couple. David reveals that he mentioned to Anna his desire for them to have a child together. Leo's shocked over David's suggestion to his wife. David mentions that he hated Tad for being the father of Dixie's baby because he wanted what they had. But now, Tad's life has been destroyed. Leo thinks Dixie would be happy to know he wanted a family and would be psyched to know that she had a part in his decision to do so.

The judge informs Erica that her daughter's case has been settled and that she has no say in the current case. Erica disagrees and advises him to check Bianca's police records, where Kendall has confessed to giving her minor child alcohol. Trey says that confession was a gross misinterpretation of the facts. Erica insists that Kendall's denial is the only gross thing about the whole situation. Trey tells the judge that Kendall was covering for her sister. The judge is shocked to learn the ladies are siblings. Erica tells the judge that Bianca's the only child she has ever raised and that she would never do anything that would need covering up. "What about stealing," spats Kendall as Trey quietly tells her to shut up. Erica calls her a liar. Kendall tells the judge that Bianca stole the champagne from her room. Erica urges the judge not to listen to Kendall, considering her perjury record. Kendall says that Erica's not to good in that department either. Ms. Kane says Bianca is innocent of Ms. Hart's accusations. Kendall says that Bianca wouldn't do anything to shame her mother--except admit to the world that she's gay. Kendall insists that Bianca could do anything illegal and Erica wouldn't believe she did it. However, she would think Kendall would do anything she was accused of. Erica asks if she means like the gun she had last night that she held on her. Kendall's jaw drops as Trey has a furious look on his face learning of Kendall's recent stunt. Erica asks what the sentence is for attempted murder. The judge says that incident is not an issue in the case at hand. Erica goes on by saying that the gun incident shows Kendall's character and should be considered. The judge warns her to drop the subject. Ms. Kane insists that she has witnesses who are in the courtroom who can confirm that Kendall held her at gunpoint. Chris tells her to let it go. The judge tells her that she is out of order. When she tells the judge that he's shirking his responsibilities, he threatens to put her in contempt of court. Erica pleads with the judge to punish Ms. Hart for what she did at the Valley Inn. The judge suggests that if she wants to press additional charges against Kendall, take it up with the D.A. Erica says that he can count on it and walks out of the courtroom, followed by Chris and Bianca. Ryan is upset that Kendall lied about Bianca stealing the two bottles of champagne. Kendall asks if he's now defending her mother. Lavery says that he just feels that she shouldn't have lied about what happened. The judge sets a date for her trial on next week. The A.D.A. announces that the Commonwealth requests bail be set for Ms. Hart because the D.A. has expressed his concern that Ms. Hart is an endangerment to the citizens of Pine Valley. Trey insists that Kendall has been upset because of her mother's rejection. Nevertheless, the judge sets bail at 25 grand. Trey suggests that she listen to him next time and storms out.

Outside the courtroom, Bianca finds Maggie and thanks her for coming to the arraignment. Maggie reveals that she was subpoenaed as a witness for the prosecution. However, since she confessed to everything, the trial was nixed. Bianca is still glad that she's there because of how things ended with them the last time they saw each other. Maggie says that she didn't come to support her and leaves the courthouse. Erica goes to Bianca and tells her not to mind hateful people. Just then, Kendall storms out of the courtroom and tells Bianca that she's dead meat. Ryan tells her to back off. Kendall taunts Erica about how she has to protect Bianca from all the women and lesbians in the world. A disgusted Erica grabs Bianca and they head out. When Kendall continues to talk, Bianca turns around and tells her sister to grow up. She tells Kendall that everyone knows that she wishes it was her who was going home with Erica. She tells Ms. Hart that nobody gets love on demand. Kendall insists that most families give love. Bianca says that most families don't try to hurt each other or fake that they care about each other. Kendall says that she really did care about her. Is that why you lied about me stealing the champagne and called Donald Steele, asks Bianca. Ms. Montgomery goes on by saying that she's sorry Erica doesn't love her enough. Kendall insists that Erica doesn't love her at all. Bianca advises her to get over it and go back to her adoptive parents. Ms. Hart says that it's easy for the "chosen one" to say that. Bianca says that she didn't ask to be chosen and tells her not to take her jealousy out on her any longer. Kendall feels that she has played the role as the chosen one for all of her life. Bianca says that's a lie. Kendall says that she tries acting so holy to make her out to be evil. Bianca says that she is evil. Kendall tells her sister that she can run home to mommy all she wants after her girlfriends dump her. She can have the picture of she and her mother and the floral bedspread and wallpaper, but she's just living in a decorated prison. Erica asks if she wants is a prison because she'll be getting just that with all of her jealousy and hatred. As Erica, Chris, and Bianca leave, Kendall yells at them that they'll pay for what they've done to her.

J.R. asks Hayley if she's really going to help him get high. Hayley insists that's not what she meant. She tells him that she understands his urge to fall off the wagon, but insists that after it wears off, he'll be just as miserable as he was before. She advises him to just let out his anger and frustration over what has happened so the anger he feels will be a piece of him instead of all of him. J.R. reveals that he went off on Adam last night and it's probably the reason he left this morning. He thinks Adam may be scared that he'll have to move back in with him. Hayley asks what about Tad. J.R. says that Tad won't want to see him because he'll be a constant reminder of the family that he almost had. He once again says that the only person that wanted him around was Dixie. J.R. finds an old photo of he and Dixie when he was a toddler. Hayley tells him that Dixie loves him so much. J.R. responds that all mothers love their children. Hayley says that unfortunately, that is not always the case. J.R. asks if he's lucky. Hayley says he's just blessed. She hugs her little brother as he cries over his mother's death.

A nurse tells Adam that Dr. Macmillan's available to see him. Mia offers to wait for him and they can ride home together. After Adam leaves, Mia sees Jake walking by and stops him. He says that he's busy. Mia says that he wasn't the only one who cared about Dixie--so did Adam. Jake says that it's a wonder that his "caring" didn't kill his ex-sister-in-law sooner. Mia asks for details on what Adam did to Dixie. Jake reveals that he knocked up Dixie to get a son and later tried to lock her up in an institution. Mia can't believe Adam would have ever done something like that. Jake says that he'll pull the same thing on Liza if she gives him a chance and urges her to keep an eye out on her sister. Adam comes back and asks Mia if she's ready to go. A hesitant Mia says she's ready and they leave together.

Anna returns to the hospital and sees a woman with a baby in a carriage. She recalls hearing David telling Leo that he will always love Dixie. She goes to a nurse and tells her that she needs to pick up a prescription for birth control pills from Dr. Clader. After the nurse goes to get the prescription, she turns around to see her mourning husband. He apologizes for not meeting her at noon. She reveals that she heard about Dixie. He says that he was about to call her with the news. Anna says that she's sorry for all the drama that's been going on with them regarding Dixie. David admits that they haven't been taking good care of each other as of late and wants to change it. Anna agrees. Just then, the nurse comes back with Anna's prescription. A concerned David asks if she's sick. Anna lies and says that they're just vitamins she needs to keep up with him. She tells him that they do need to move on past the last few weeks. The newlyweds walk out together.

Erica, Chris, and Bianca return home and Erica asks Chris if he can now see who Kendall really is and why she has to be stopped. Stamp says that the attempted murder charges won't stick. Erica feels that they must do something after what she has done. Chris thinks that she's doing exactly what Kendall wants her to do by not paying attention. Erica feels that ignoring her doesn't work. Bianca agrees with Erica and feels that they go for the attempted murder charge before they all end up dead. She has realized that she described her bedroom in great detail back in the courthouse, but she hasn't been in the room since it was redecorated. Chris wonders how Kendall knew how Bianca's room looked.

Ryan returns to the courtroom to tell Kendall that he found someone to post her bail. He calls out for her and realizes she's gone. Ryan wonders what she's up to now.

In Bianca's room, a mysterious gloved person pours gasoline around her room. The person then grabs a cigarette and lights it up."
