Bill Lizzie Part 1



Bill and Lizzie are looking around at their new house. Bill says that they are going to have to get central air because it's so hot. They will have to use fans for now. Lizzie works on a list of jobs that needs to get done. They knew what they were getting themselves into right. It will be a perfect place for their family. Bill walks in and shows Lizzie the fan on the floor. That will do for now. Lizzie and Bill sigh at the cool air. Bill says that all newlyweds need something when they buy a house. A bed. Bill pulls out their bed: an air mattress. Lizzie asks what the heck that is. Bill says that he can figure it out. He turns on the fan but it's still soft. Bill will figure it out. He adjusts the fan and blows a fuse so there is no power.

Beth is at the mini mart shopping for Lizzie and Bill when she runs into Matt. He asks where she is going. Beth mentions about the old house. Matt knows. Beth is helping out the kids since they are ambitious and want to do the work while staying there. Staying there? There is a lot of problems with that old house like no running water. The boiler room is a disaster. Beth drops her stuff in worry. Matt will help her pick the stuff up.

Bill and Lizzie are hot so they sit in the bathroom. What are they going to do with a place with no electricity. They can call an electrician. They will be able to handle it. Lizzie says she can handle no TV or other luxuries but not having a fan in August is a whole other thing. Lizzie suggests staying somewhere else while they work on the house. Bill says he has a way to cool off his wife. He cools her down with a wet cloth as the temperature rises.

Bill Lizzie Part 2



Beth and Matt arrive at the old house and call out Bill and Lizzie's name. Bill and Lizzie blush as they walk out wearing robes. Matt and Beth realizes that they interrupted the newlyweds. Lizzie attempts to explain but fuddles with her words. Bill tells his bride to stop while she's ahead of releasing too much information. What are they doing there? Matt and Beth were bringing supplies. There is more for them in the car. Matt came to offer his contracting skills to help put the place back on it's feet. Bill and Lizzie ask to be given a second to make themselves presentable. Bill asks since Matt is there could he turn the power back on for them. Matt and Beth look at each other.

Matt tells Bill sorry for the awkward timing. Is Matt ready to take on a project? He wants something happy to work on. Bill and Lizzie will be staying put while the renovations happen. It will be messy. This is their home. Bill wants to do some of the work as well. Matt is impressed. This will be a lot of fun.

Beth and Lizzie chat as Lizzie asks about Phillip. Beth says that nothing is happening there. Lizzie says it's clear that Phillip still loves Beth. Beth says that he may but he's clearly told her that they are not going there. He has called once from his road trip with Alan. They were at a baseball park eating crackerjacks. Lizzie laughs. She knows that her mother spoke English but it didn't sound right. Lizzie doesn't get the meaning of the trip. Beth says that they will know more when Alan and Phillip return.

Bill and Lizzie are relaxing in their chairs. It will be spectacular when they have the house finished. It's going to take a long time. Does Lizzie really want to stay? She does if he does. It's going to be an adventure for them. Just then Lizzie and Bill hear water dripping. A lot of water dripping. Bill walks into the bedroom and sees a leak from the ceiling where the bathroom is upstairs. Bill comes out all wet and tells Lizzie. She can't help but laugh. Bill says he will call Matt to fix it up.

Alan Part 1



Phillip is standing on the balcony of the study in the living room of the Spaulding Mansion. He laughs as Lizzie and Bill negotiate how many kids they are going to have. Bill says ten. Lizzie says eight. Bill says nine but that includes Sarah as well. Bill asks about the housewarming party. Lizzie wants the whole town there since everyone threw them the wedding. Phillip then sees Alan talking to James about a new picture. Alan is very impressed with his grandson. This is exactly what the company needs. Alan then walks over to a picture of Phillip. Phillip realizes in horror that this is his wake as Alan reminds everyone why they are there. Phillip wakes up then in his car.

Alan walks into the motel room and sees a phone call from Ed Bauer. Ed assumes that it's Phillip but just with a bad connection. Ed tells Phillip to tell him if he misses anything. Ed tells Alan he got the latest blood tests back. There may not be time for the new experimental treatment Ed suggested. Ed knows that Phillip doesn't want to talk about that. Ed knows that Phillip got his hopes up but the disease is progressing. They are still on the same time line. Ed promises to make Phillip comfortable in his final time. They will treat the symptoms. Alan is stunned and heartbroken by the news. Ed says that Phillip should cut the trip short and come home. He needs to tell the family the news. Ed asks how Alan is. Alan just mumbles. Alan ends the phone call as Phillip walks in. The heartbreak is obvious on Alan's face as he looks at his son.

Phillip casually asks his dad how it went with the Pierce family. It went alright. Alan did what he could for now. Phillip says he knows that this is hard for his dad. Phillip is very proud of his dad. Alan asks Phillip why he decided to do this trip now. Phillip wanted his dad to feel better. He knows that the secret has been a source of pain and guilt for Alan. So Phillip assumes that they can have this perfect father son time now and make up for lost time. Alan then asks his son how much time he has left. Phillip acts like he doesn't know what his father is saying. Alan presses saying that Ed called. He left a message saying that the disease has progressed and they have the same time line still. Phillip looks at his dad realizing he can't cover it. Alan is horrified as he says that his son is still dying right.

Alan Part 2



Alan asks his son what is wrong? Phillip muddles for an answer saying that Ed is just making it worse than it sounds. Alan says that is a load of hogwash. Ed assumed he was talking to Phillip. Phillip attempts to change the subject by asking why his dad picked up the phone. Alan presses and says that Phillip can't deny it anymore. Phillip finally admits that he's sick. Alan asks how long his son has known. For a while. Phillip explains that he caught an infection while he was gone. It was dormant and now it's not. Alan presses about the time line. Phillip then admits that he's dying from the disease. Its a progressive infection that has no cure. Alan says that there has to be a cure. Phillip say that there isn't. Ed has been looking and searching for one. How much time does Phillip have? Phillip dodges the question until Alan presses his son harder. Phillip admits maybe only months or shorter. Phillip is dying. Phillip says that his dad can understand the urgency of why he wanted to make everything right. Phillip moves closer but Alan bristles and moves away. Alan accuses his son of being selfish. These were all lies. Alan thought that he was getting ..... the baseball clip, seeing the family all lies. Alan asks why he didn't tell him. Phillip admits he's not ready. Alan rages through his despair saying that Phillip was doing this trip to check off things before he dies. It was all lies between them. None of it was real. Alan rushes out.

Phillip calls out to his father. Alan doesn't want to hear anything more of what Phillip has to say. Phillip says what does it matter that he is sick. Phillip can ask his father a question like that. Phillip says that they are all dying. Life is short. They could get hit by a bus crossing the street tomorrow. Why did he want to do this? He wanted Alan to face the past. Phillip believes that it can change his dad for the better and help the family as well in the end. It can stop this cycle of fighting between father and son once and for all. Phillip really believes that. Alan says it's a load of crap. He's not there to help him. He's there to save them be the great hero so he can die in peace. Alan is done with this. Phillip tells his dad to stop. Alan says sorry Phillip doesn't get the right to fix him then just die on him. Alan says that will not happen. He will find his own ride home. Alan walks away.

Alan walks into the diner and is greeted by Charlie. Charlie again thanks Alan for the stories about his father Gerald. Charlie didn't know much about his dad. Alan says he's sorry for what happened to his dad. Charley says thank you. Gerald would have loved this place. Charlie is so proud of his dad. Charlie leaves. Alan walks out and looks out to the heavens. He mutters Phillip's name. The heartbreak and sadness evident in his voice.

Phillip sits in his bed organizing his next dose of pills. He bashes a bottle till it opens. He then tosses the pills away clearly angry and heartbroken at the same time.
