ACT THREE

CHYRON: PRESENT DAY

I/E. LA - OLIVIA'S HOUSE - FRONT DOOR / ENTRYWAY - EVENING

Spencer starts to use his key but he stops himself as he remembers. This ain't my home no more. He RINGS the DOORBELL.

The door opens and Grace appears. She eyes him with disdain.

GRACE

(smirks)

Olivia's not here... Hot date with her new beau, Shawn. Quite the looker that one. Intelligent. A new and improved model. Non-defective. A mother's dream come true.

SPENCER

(jaw tightens)

Good for her. Just here for my son.

Grace rolls her eyes and turns toward the living room.

GRACE

CJ?! Get your stuff... Time to go.

(mumbles)

Your sorry-ass rolling stone of a pappy is here.

A long beat. CJ rushes out with his overnight bag and collides with Spencer hugging him. 

SPENCER

Hey, buddy. Missed you. Kiss your Nana so we can go.

CJ gives Grace a hug and kiss and runs to Spencer's car.

With a smirk, Spencer turns back to Grace.

SPENCER

Always a pleasure Mrs. B--

Grace SLAMS the DOOR in Spencer's face.

SPENCER

Yep, always a pleasure. 

INT. LA - DOCTOR'S OFFICE - WAITING ROOM / LOBBY - AFTERNOON

An anxious Darnell taps his foot incessantly. A door swings open and a NURSE walks out.

NURSE

Darnell James?

Darnell stands nervously.

NURSE

Right this way.

INT. DOWNTOWN LA - JORDAN'S APARTMENT - BEDROOM - NIGHT

Completely spent after two rounds of hot and steamy sex, Jordan and Simone crash back onto the bed.

SIMONE

That was...

JORDAN

Incredible? Mind-blowing?

SIMONE

Well, I'm not one to brag.

JORDAN

Do you think we'll actually make it to dinner next time?

SIMONE

I don't know. I kinda like skipping straight to the dessert.
