Outta Of My Head

Previously - Alan seeing Beth and Coop making love at Company. Bill seeing Billy at the Cabin. Both of them realizing that Phillip was there but is gone now. Alan looking at the letter opener as Beth enters.


At the cabin, Bill wakes up woozy from being bopped on the head. Billy is sitting beside him reading the notes that Phillip left behind. Billy explains that Bill hit his head and he’s been out cold for a bit. Bill says he has to go and warn Lizzie. He can’t let Phillip get her. Billy tells his son to rest. Bill looks over the paperwork as well.

In Company, Buzz can’t help but be worried for the safety of his son. Coop says it will all be fine. Beth is going to break it off with Alan today. They have been teetering on the edge of a break up for a long time. Coop explains that he and Beth are going to wait a couple of weeks then start to see each other. Alan will none the wiser. Alan will never touch Company. There will be no reason for Alan to flatten Company. Frank enters and sees his baby brother. Frank calls Coop Captain Daredevil. Coop says cute. Coop then sees Blake enter. Coop tells Blake the book is way too hot to be published. Blake is touched. She says the book should be published because it’s about a true love story. Coop tells Blake the story will not be published if he has any say.

Rick walks into Towers and sees Lizzie at the bar. She’s looking at a glass of wine. If she’s not going to drink it, she should donate it. Lizzie passes the glass over to Rick. What is going on with her? Why did Beth and Rick have break up? Rick laughs and says that would take a long time to tell her. The short version is 6 hours. Rick knows about Beth and Coop. Lizzie is shocked. How many people know about the affair? It is only going to end bad for all of them if Alan ever figures out.


Beth walks into the study in the Mansion and sees Alan with the letter opener. He’s back from his trip. Yes he is. She s him home. She questions if something is wrong. Alan glares at Beth as he holds the letter opener.

“ Only love ….”

Alan looks at a picture of Beth. She’s worried about him. Is there something wrong? Alan says sorry. It’s just been a very long day. He was caught off guard by something today. He was stabbed in the back and betrayed by someone close. Beth is not sure what Alan means. Alan turns and looks at his lying wife and says that it was about business. It came as a huge blow to him when he found out. It upset him so much. The wound is still very fresh. Alan questions why words like trust, faith and honour mean nothing to people these days. Beth doesn’t understand but starts to squirm. Alan says of course Beth would not know something like that. What is he going to do about the betrayal? That’s a very good question. He’s going to have to think about that. Alan looks down at the letter opener. Beth is spooked now. Alan says he could just change his mind and walk away but that is not who he is. It’s not following the principles that have guided his life so far. It means that he will fight for what he wants and what is his. No one will take away or they will have a huge battle on their hands. Alan will destroy them. Beth is visibly worried and spooked. Alan puts on the charm and asks how Beth’s day was. Beth says it was fine. Nothing happened. Alan says that she looks beautiful. He wants her to come with him upstairs. Why? He wants to see their beautiful baby daughter. It’s times like this when you really need your family. Beth and Alan head up the stairs. Beth heads into the room. Alan stops then follows her.


Frank and Buzz are talking in Company while watching Coop and Blake talk. Alan can not put this together. Coop thinks that Alan and Beth will just break up then he can start dating Beth a couple of weeks later. Frank says this is why he hates secrets. They always blow up in your face. Frank is worried about the toll this affair is taking on Buzz. If Alan figures out then he will come after the Cooper family. Buzz wishes that his son wasn’t like this. Frank looks at Buzz and says that Coop is exactly like his father. Coop attempts to reason with Blake. The book can not be published. Blake is really confused. Did he not hear the words of the publisher? This is a guaranteed best seller. Coop does not care. He wrote the book…for himself. Blake says it was a beautiful story. The heroine is such an incredible woman. Coop realizes that Blake assumes that she’s the heroine. Coop shakes his head. Coop says that if the story is published then everyone will want to know who the woman is in question. Blake is fine with that. It’s a beautiful love story. The world needs stories like this right now. He will have great success with this story. Coop says no it can not be published. She has to tell the publisher no. Coop will just write another story. As good as this one? Coop agrees that is not possible.

Lizzie tells Rick at Towers that Coop had the nerve to write a book about the affair. Rick says that writers do that. All he did was change the names but everyone will know. It’s not likely that Alan will read the book. Lizzie says that is not the point. Everyone else will read it. Coop is just asking for trouble from Alan. Coop loves Beth. Lizzie says that love does not work. Rick says that they both have the same point. Lizzie explains that Phillip get more delusional with the lies. Rick agrees with that. Would Lizzie want her father to return? Lizzie agrees but only if Phillip is o.k. mentally. If he is the same as before then it’s best to be left dropped.

Bill and Billy talk at the cabin. Bill needs to take a break. He hit his head pretty good. Billy tells his son to sit down. Phillip is not there now. Bill needs Phillip to help him with Lizzie. Billy tells his son to sit down. Bill can’t because he feels sick. He rushes outside to puke. Billy tells Bill he has a concussion. He needs to rest and lie down.

Blake and Coop are outside. Blake is leaving now. She’s really disappointed in Coop that he doesn’t want the story published. Coop says it has to be that way. Blake leaves. Frank comes outside and sees Coop. Buzz told him about Beth? Frank says yes. Coop can imagine that Frank has a judgement about Beth. Frank does. Coop has a simple question for Frank. What if Coop were to nose around in Frank’s business and tell him what to do? How would Frank react? Frank would not be impressed either. Point taken.

Back at the Mansion, Alan is walking down the stairs with Beth. He remarks on how beautiful Payton is getting. Alan feels like moments with his daughter and all the cares of the world just melt away. He can almost forget the betrayals. Beth’s phone rings then with a text. She’s all freaked. Alan asks who. Beth lies and says that it’s a girlfriend from school. The text is form Coop asking if she has already broken it off with Alan? Coop waits in Company for a reply. Alan watches a very nervous Beth.

Lizzie is still at Towers when Lillian shows up. She got Lizzie’s text. Lizzie says that Lillian really needs to knock some sense into her daughter now. She needs to stop Beth before she does something really stupid. Lillian says that this must have something to do with Coop right. Lizzie is aghast. How many people know about Beth and Coop? Lillian is worried about her granddaughter Lizzie says she’s fine. She’s stepping up and taking care of her family. She doesn’t need to be protected. Lillian goes off to talk to her daughter.

Billy is on the phone outside the cabin. He attempts to call Rick but no answer. Rick finally answers while shopping in the convenience store. Billy found Bill at the cabin. No Phillip. Rick suspected as much. Billy says he has a bigger problem the Phillip. Bill has a concussion. Rick asks if Bill has been sick? He has. Billy needs to find a doctor for him. Billy says that’s a bit hard being out in the middle of nowhere. Billy just has to take care of his son. Rick will find a doctor for Bill. Bill lies down in the bed and starts to have flashes of Lizzie.

Beth is in the Mansion drinking a glass of scotch when Lillian shows up. Is she celebrating breaking it off ? No it’s a glass of liquid courage. Lizzie asked that Lillian come and talk to her daughter. Beth is not in the mood for a double set of I told you so. Lillian tries to warn her daughter that she’s seen this before. This is a ticking time bomb waiting to explode. Lillian wants to run for a bomb shelter when it happens. Lillian shakes her head as she looks at her daughter.


Frank is cleaning in Company when Coop comes back in. Where is Buzz? He’s out doing an errand. Coop really needs to talk to his dad. He’s busy. Coop can take care of taking out the trash. Coop heads outside and finds Alan standing outside the window. Alan says to Mr. Bradshaw. Is Alan looking for Buzz? No, he just came to take a look at his purchase. Alan is drawn to this window for some reason. Coop suggests going inside and warming up. Alan says that he owns a lot of properties. None make him feel the same as standing in front of Company. Coop says that is good. Is Alan sure he doesn’t want to head in for a cup of coffee? Alan says that when they were working out the deal . What was the word they used for Coop? Point person. A contact. A liaison. That is the word that Alan was looking for. It’s quite the word isn’t it. Coop is nervous. Alan says that they are all connected now in many ways. Alan has seen many men like Coop before. He’s starting to see Coop in a new light though. He’s seeing the real person that Coop is. Coop is unnerved by the words.

Lizzie is in the convenience store looking at the Pepto Bismol. Buzz walks over and says he can split a bottle with her. Lizzie says that she may need the whole bottle for herself. Things are going to work out. Everyone just wants to be happy. Buzz wants to believe that. Lizzie says if that is true then why did nobody think of how Alan would feel. Lizzie knows. Is she going to tell him? Lizzie is not going to be the one to do that. Buzz wants to ask Lizzie something. Do you think that people that feel so strong about each other may actually belong together? Lizzie says she is the last person to ask such a question to. Lizzie walks away unsure of what to do now.

Billy wipes Bill’s forehead at the cabin as Bill dreams. Bill flashes on the ransom drop then he’s sitting with Lizzie at the mansion. She believes that it is all over. Bill is in the middle of the woods looking around. Bill flashes on saying to Lizzie he can’t lie to her anymore. He doesn’t know the truth. The truth reverberates. Bill no remember. Just then a sound brings flashes to Bill’s mind. Bill can see the van now. He can see himself following the trail to it. Bill is walking in the woods then sees the figure in black waving at him. Bill chases after the figure. Bill calls out Lizzie’s name in the cannery. Bill sees the figure in black again. Bill sees Lizzie in the cannery and she rushes into his arms. He hugs her close. Bill gets closer to the figure. He can see himself fighting with the figure in black now. He’s so close to the figure. He can almost take the mask off. Bill bolts out of bed. Billy tells his son to relax. Bill tells his father he remembers everything. He was not the one that kidnapped Lizzie.

Beth is drinking more scotch at the Mansion when Coop shows up. He can’t be there. Beth and Coop kiss. Did she tell Alan yet? It’s not the right time. Coop says he understands and kisses Beth again.

Lizzie is drawing Bill’s name with hearts at Spaulding Lewis. She curses and rips up the piece of paper just as Alan enters. He questions if she ever quits. He’s so proud seeing her working there. He feels like Spaulding Lewis is more of his home then home sometimes. Lizzie understands that. Is he alright? He’s fine. Alan was amazing at the meeting. He still has the power. Alan thanks Lizzie. Lizzie says she has a plan for the business. She was so proud of him at the meetings. She wants to get the word out about Spaulding. She suggests an ambassador that can go around and tell people about Spaulding. Alan says he can’t do that right now. He has stuff to take care of at home. He can’t do all the travelling right now. Alan questions why it feels like Lizzie is trying to get rid of him? Lizzie smiles at her grandfather.

Bill tells Billy at the cabin that he remembers it all. Bill heard this distinct sound then all these flashes of stuff came back to him. He knows that he was not the one that kidnapped Lizzie. He remembers fighting with the figure in black. Did he see the face of the figure? No.

Alan says he can’t leave right now. He has to stay in Springfield and keep and eye on things. For instance making sure that Bill doesn’t try to worm his way back into Lizzie’s life. Bill really needs to get the point from Lizzie. Alan says he can’t leave because he’s got front row seats to the best show around. He gets to watch is granddaughter take the reins of Spaulding herself. Lizzie can always call Alan if she has problems.
Bill tells Billy he fells a lot better. His head is a lot more clearer now. Bill knew that he was not guilty of the kidnapping. He knows though that he has made Lizzie’s life hell for the last year. He has to make it up to her. He has to show her that he is not the kidnapper. Bill sees the photo again of Lizzie and Phillip. He stuffs the picture in his pocket. Billy and Bill head off to return to Springfield.

Blake explains to the publisher that the author does not want the story published. He’s a fool. It will be a best seller in fact her is the advance cheque. Blake is stunned by the amount. She decides that Coop needs a swift kick in the pants. He will take the deal. Does he have an agent? Blake can do that job.

Beth and Coop are still kissing at the Mansion. He really has to get out of there now. Is there a reason why he is there? There is. He convinced Blake to stop the book from being published. Blake fought it but Coop convinced her. Why is Blake so stubborn? She thought she was the lady in question. Blake and Coop? Coop blushes. Should Beth be jealous? Beth kisses Coop passionately as the camera pans back and a picture of Beth and her family is shown.
