ORIGINAL SOMEWHAT TWISTED PLOT IDEAS
Reese Gets a Makeover-Reese and the Bennett girls, along with miguel and charity and Simone go to the ball park to watch Miguel and kay play, and they are hanging out after the game. Theresa is there to see her brother play and has whitney with her as well as ethan and gwen since gwen thought it would be good for ethan to mingle with the locals . they're all standing around the snack area near the exit, when reese overhears some guys making fun of kay and her flat chest. he completely loses it and walks over to the guy, taps him on the shoulder , and says, "hey buddy that's my girl you're insulting," and as he says it, he punches the guy right in the face!
A huge fistfight ensues, but in the background, reese hears kay's ungrateful snide remarks saying, "what's he doing", and " i'd never be his girl! " and all about how embarrassed she is that people think she's with him. Charity and miguel's eyes lock together both realizing what a mean uncaring person kay really is, and jessica is screaming for somebody to do something. Just then theresa takes the lid off her extra large soda and dumps the whole thing on reese and the other guy.
The fight stops, but reese's glasses have fallen off and broken, his clothes are torn to shreds, and his hair is soaked--HE LOOKS SOOOO GOOD!! He is standing there dripping when gwen comes to the rescue with her nice hankie and blots his face and hands him the hankie, asking if she can get him anything else. Their eyes meet as she pauses, wiping his face, and everyone is staring during this awkward moment. Gwen looks away and steps back next to ethan but can't resist another look at reese and, yes, he is still looking at her bashfully, but with lust in his eyes.
Jessica takes over , and in the background all the girls including kay are gawking at reese and can't get over how great he looks underneath all that nerd costume. Simone blasts kay for blowing it with a guy who is apparently much better looking than miguel and DID like her but now obviously wants nothing to do with her. Reese leaves in the arms of jessica, the only woman who ever showed him any respect, but he can't help turning to see gwen as she leaves with ethan , and their eyes meet again as gwen looks back too.
Now they both daydream about that day---gwen softly dabbing the bloody sweat from reese's brow and gazing at each other for that one brief forbidden moment. Miguel and charity want nothing to do with kay now and avoid her whenever possible without being too rude. Simone constantly chides kay for her stupidity assuring her she'll never have miguel or reese now.
Gwen decides to hire reese to help her make a web page; it's the only thing she can think of to get him back in her life, as she can't stop thinking about him. they spend lots of time together, and reese hasn't gotten his glasses fixed, so gwen suggests he get contacts and tells him how much she liked his hair when it was wet, He agrees to keep the new look, and they continue to share stolen moments of wanton glances and accidental, on purpose touching.
Gwen does her work at the crane mansion, so theresa is starting to notice all this hot vibe between reese and gwen. she sees it as part of her good luck streak. "oh whitney, " she exclaims, " I just know this is going to be the answer to all my prayers. My dream of becoming MRS. ETHAN CRANE is really going to come true!. I just know it!" she and whitney discuss it frequently, barely missing having ethan hear them. She just can't wait for the day that gwen steps out of the picture and she steps into her dream.
Meanwhile, kay and theresa meet at the wig shop when kay decides to get that blond wig after all. She has decided to go ahead and change her look, since her hair is a mess anyway. Theresa invites her back to the mansion, and when kay gets a look at the crane mansion, she knows this is the life for her. As soon as she is introduced to ethan, a floodlight goes on in that little pointed head of hers: this will be her new obsession, to be mrs. ethan crane! Why not, she had everything to offer ethan that that gwen hodgekiss had, and she was much sexier with her new look. Why had she wasted so much time on a boy like miguel when a rich, good looking lawyer like ethan crane was practically falling all over himself the moment they met. Miguel could live in his little trailer park someday with his beloved twit charity for all she cared. She had bigger fish (guts) to fry! Plus she knew it was just a matter of time before theresa's little clark kent disguise fell apart , and that would be the end of that poor girl's game. Listening to theresa babble on about her lifelong dream with ethan made kay want to puke up her lunch a second time.
Soon Gwen walks in to join the gang. She immediately comments on how she likes kay's new hairdo and how much it looks like her own, and ethan agrees, reaching out to touch gwen in his usual manor, but staring at kay just a little too long. theresa is livid standing there in her mouse disguise. She feels helpless as she sees the trouble brewing, and she knows she must do something, but what??
kay keeps making excuses to go to the crane mansion, acting like theresa is her new friend. theresa hates it but can't be rude in fron t of the cranes, and ivy loves kay who spends a lot of time kissing up in her manipulative way. Ivy really wants to know about her long lost love sam bennett and uses kay to find out about sam's life and what grace is like. She doesn't see that kay is after ethan and she spends so much time with kay that she doesn't notice gwen and reese.
Ethan gladly accepts his mom's suggestion that he chat with her and kay as he doesn't want to interrupt gwen's work. He keeps finding himself looking at kay and feeling guilty for his attraction to her, but she is really flirting it up with him, wearing the padded bra , short dress, sitting too close ,and hanging on his every word. Her bennett salem ancestors would have been shocked to watch the work of this bad seed. Kay was definitely not fitting into the mold of one of the good bennetts fighting evil.
Kay has noticed the reese/gwen attraction from the beginning, so she eventually arranges for ethan to take her upstairs to see the house just when she knows gwen and reese will be together. Theresa sees what is going on and tries to prevent ethan's discovery until she can devise a plan to get him for herself. She still clings to the dream that gwen's attraction for reese will leave the door open for her but stresses about the bad timing and ethan's attraction that devious, conniving kay.
Ivy, meanwhile, still doesn't see kay for the man hungry, gold digger that she is. As Ethan takes kay into the crane mansion upstairs study he opens the door, looking back at kay to escort her into the room and kay gasps outloud as she stares into the room. Ethan turns to see gwen and reese entwined in a passionate kiss. Gwen rises in a poised manor and bluntly states, "I'm sorry ethan, reese and I are going to be married!" The two lovers pull apart to reveal reese's hand holding a ring box.
Ethan slams the door rushing downstairs with kay close behind, and, at the same time, his mother and theresa are coming up the stairs to see what's happening. Ethan pushes past everyone and shouts out that kay must need a ride home. he will be doing just that.
On the way home ,ethan spills his (fish) guts. How could she do this to him after he had already proposed and she had always said they were meant for each other??? kay plays it to the hilt. she is so sympathetic, holding ethan's hand and reassuring him that these things happen for the best, and there is probably someone else out there who will be the woman he deserves. he tells her she really is sweet and that he has always felt a special attraction to her even though she is a bit young. He is so upset that a tear runs down his cheek, and she reaches up to brush it off, and they almost kiss. You can see that he feels uncomfortable with what he almost did with this woman -child, but she is obviously feeling like," drat, foiled again... just when i thought i had him in my clutches!" He thanks her for being such a good friend and walks her to the door where she tries to give him a puppy dog look, hoping for that kiss. He kisses her forehead, thanks her again, and agrees on her suggestion to call her if he needs to just talk.
Once inside kay is in dreamland. Her dad has seen the whole thing from the window, and the camera flashes to him looking out with the expression on his face that can only say," oh my god, what is happening here! " He knows ethan is his son!! he should have known this was a situation that could never be put to rest, even though he had hidden it for so many years. .
The first thing kay does when she walks in the door is announce reese's engagement to gwen, and jessica looks as if her heart will break. she has had a crush on reese ever since the fight, when he told her she was the only woman who ever cared about him, and it was no secret that she had planned her future around him. Kay knows as much and sarcastically asks how jessica ever thought reese would be interested in an adolescent brat like her. Jessica begins to softly cry as kay taunts her. "Are you the only person in Harmony, Jessica , who hasn't seen the way reese looks at gwen. You really loved pointing out how obvious it was that miguel and charity had eyes for each other , but i guess you were a little too far into your schoolgirl crush on reese to see outside your imaginary future with him because he has eyes sonly for gwen hodgekiss. He obviously knows where to place his priorities when it comes to his future. And he's no dummy either. Marrying a rich girl is the smartest thing he can do. I'm sure they'll be very happy together. In fact, with Gwen's modeling career, and the embarrassment towards the cranes, I wouldn't be surprised if they left Harmony . So you can just kiss your dream good-bye missy." Jessica had heard enough. There were no threats of payback this time as she turned and quietly left the room.
At the mansion, theresa is freaking inside and asks ivy to call the bennett home to see if ethan is ok since he's been gone so long. She knows that Kay can't be trusted alone with ethan too long. It doesn't take much convincing for ivy to call sam bennett, and when he answers the phone the camera shows the faces of two people in love, torn apart from one another. They both go back in time. Sam can tell by talking to ivy that she is concerned for ethan's broken heart as she laments about how terrible it must be for ethan to have the woman he loves marry someone else. He can take a hint. Instantly Sam is consumed with the memories of how he and Ivy lived that torture so many years ago, but he is also tormented by the knowledge that kay is flirting with disaster with ethan. This problem definitly distracts him, and the conversation is brief. He realizes that ivy has no idea of the problem at hand and is simply worried about ethan's heartbreak, a heartbreak he knows she relates what they once had and what they will never forget.
Ivy tells theresa that ethan is on the way home, and her only concern now is for his happiness. She notices theresa going into her dream state and wonders whether theresa might have feelings for ethan which she has been politely hiding. Ivy pictures theresa and ethan in a moment of laughter from the past and seems to approve.
Gwen has quietly left to drive reese home. Theresa gushes to ivy how she will be glad to help in any way to distract and befriend ethan and goes deeper than ever into her i will be mrs ethan crane fantasy. But in the back of her head, she knows kay will be thinking the same thing. After all, kay is free to dress sexy and spend all the time she wants chasing ethan, while theresa is stuck in her mouse costume working for ivy. As the days go by,theresa watches kay throw herself at ethan, and poor broken hearted ethan is happy to have the distraction and really likes kay. She also can't help but notice that ethan thinks of kay as more than just a friend. She sees them laugh, sees them touch, watches helplessly as kay weaves her web and ethan willingly falls.
One day when they're all shopping at the pier, theresa watches in desperation, and her heart sinks as she sees ethan and kay stop together to giggle and look in the window of a jewelry shop. As she stares locked in her dream world of fear, ivy suddenly sees the whole picture and looks shocked at first, but then seems to be in denial and pushes it out of her head. As ethan calls them all off to go for a bite at the lobster shack, he and kay look like two lovebirds, theresa looks like she just lost the only man she ever loved, and ivy is in shock.
When they get there, grace and sam are at a nearby table. they all say their hellos, and sam bennett looks at ivy like ,"what the hell is going on here!?" Jessica is with her parents and immediately notices the look, and so does theresa ,but kay and ethan only have eyes for each other. Grace doesn't have a clue and is busy trying to make chit chat with theresa about how pilar and the family are. The cranes and company are seated, and everyone looks worried except ethan and kay, who looks like the cat that ate the mouse.
The next day, sam calls ivy when he knows julian is probably gone and says he has to talk to her. You can see that she knows why, and she agrees looking very worried and anxious. When he gets there, he spills his (fish) guts about the impending incestuous relationship.
As they are talking, julian crane comes home and asks theresa where ivy is. Theresa leads Julian to the room, and he opens the door abruptly with theresa standing right there . The first thing they both hear ivy say is, "ethan is YOUR son sam!" julian just stands there looking smug with a devilish, disgusting half grin, and theresa's mouth is wide open. Ivy is stoic, and sam looks like a deer caught in the headlights of a car.
"So this is your little secret ivy dear," julian croons. "I always wondered why you had such a soft spot in your cold heart for that son of YOURS."
"Get out of here, julian. this is none of your business!" ivy says calmly.
"You can bet some one will be getting out, but it won't be me my beautiful bride...oh no I've waited too long for something like this"
"We have an agreement julian -don't forget it!" she replies still cool and collected.
"Oh there will be many things for me not to forget now, won't there my dear? I can't believe you actually let me humiliate myself in my own home by letting me introduce you to police chief bennett here when you obviously are such old CLOSE friends."
Ivy turns to Sam, "I'll walk you to the door sam Once they're outside she tells him, "Don't worry i'll take care of things with ethan and kay. " She reassures him that Grace will never have to know and that kay should not be told either. " I owe your that much, Sam. Ethan will just have to let her know he is only a friend and he can keep the reasons to himself."
Inside ,Julian pours a drink and offers one to theresa. She is in her dream world. Yes, the coast is clear again, but just as she come out of it for a second ,she notices mr crane is holding out a drink to her and looking at her like he never had before---lust- -there was no mistaking it. She reaches up to tighten her blouse around her neck and feels a little embarrassed and shocked and looks away.
Then she has a new dream..a new mental picture appears-the camera shows theresa in one of her talking daydreams-" so the fortune teller was right. I will be mrs Crane....-Mrs. JULIAN Crane- her head is filled with scenes of yachts,limosines,diamonds,servants,all surrounding her and julian who is at her feet adoring her.......to be continued
