TEASER
EXT - LEXING HOSPITAL/ ESTABLISHING - NIGHT
Caption: London, England
INT - HOSPITAL ROOM - NIGHT
We see Minxie standing over a bed as the camera pans to Willow’s unconscious body. Willow’s hair is still black. Minxie begins to pace back and forth as she bites her nails. She is wearing black slacks, denim jacket over a sky blue shirt. The door opens and a male doctor walks in. Minxie stops pacing and meets the doctor at the end of the bed.
MINXIE: (worried) Hey Dr. Lloyd. So what is the diagnosis?
Dr. Lloyd’s face is filled with sorrow and remorse.
DR. LLOYD: Miss Reuben, I’m sorry but I am afraid I have bad news.
MINXIE: (with great concern) What is it?
DR. LLOYD: Miss Rosenberg isn’t waking up.
MINXIE: (holding back tears) What do you mean she isn’t waking up? Are you saying soon, next week, in three days?
Dr. Lloyd takes a deep breath and clears his throat.
MINXIE: (impatient) What is it, Doctor?
DR. LLOYD: I’m extremely sorry Miss Reuben, but Miss Rosenberg is brain dead. She will not regain consciousness. All of the tests we’ve performed have indicated no brain activity. I’m deeply sorry.
Minxie puts her hands on her chest just as her mouth drops.
MINXIE: (disbelief) Oh my God. This can’t be happening. You have to do something! Use all of your resources, anything! Don’t give up!
DR. LLOYD: I’ve exhausted all avenues. I am sorry but there is nothing I can do for Miss Rosenberg.
Minxie walks over to a chair and sits down.
MINXIE: Dr. Lloyd, I’d like to be alone, please.
DR. LLOYD: Before I go, does she have any family members that I can get in touch with?
MINXIE: (holding back tears) I’ll do it, Doctor.
CUT TO

EXT - OLD RUN DOWN HOUSE/ ESTABLISHING - DAY
CUT TO:
INT - OLD RUN DOWN HOUSE/ LIVING ROOM - DAY
We see a deserted room, with various pieces of furniture covered with a white sheet. Cobwebs invade every aspect of the room. The wooden floors are cracked while the walls are scuffed. The house clearly has been neglected over the years.
In front of a camera shot, a cardboard box drops to the floor. The camera pans to Stacie with a disgusted face. She has on black hip hugger jeans, fitted black top and a black leather jacket.
STACIE: This is so gross. Look at all of these damn spider webs.
The camera moves over to Casey who is wearing a white sweater and black jeans while her hair is pulled back into a pony tail. Casey puts the box she is holding on the floor and scopes the room.
CASEY: (not convincingly) Very nice. Homey.
STACIE: You’re lying, don’t sugar coat it. We both know this place is old, rundown, and disgusting. (Beat) And you’re wondering the same thing I am.
CASEY: And what would that be?
STACIE: Why in the hell would he choose to move back here?
CASEY: Stacie, you have to be considerate of other people. This house obviously means something to him. I’m pretty sure he sees what we see; (gestures) that it’s a dump but he is able to look past it.
STACIE: Well, hopefully he’ll clean the place up. (Beat) It needs it.
Stacie thinks for a moment.
STACIE: Where is Steven any way and why are we unloading his crap when he‘s not even here?
CUT TO:
EXT - STEVEN’S HOUSE/ BACK YARD - DAY
We see Fredeth holding up his hands with boxing pads while Steven, wearing sweats, punches them vigorously. Fredeth is counting the punches and moving around as Steven follows, still hitting the pads.
FREDETH: (taunting) Come on, Steven! You’re lagging. Come on!
STEVEN: (tired, annoyed) I’m trying, just be quiet for a minute.
Steven throws a punch but Fredeth moves out of his shot which causes Steven to fall to the ground. He gets up quickly, and then Fredeth strikes him over the head with one of the pads.
FREDETH: (Yelling) Let’s go! Come on!
Steven’s face grows red with fury.
STEVEN: (angry) You old fart!
Steven throws another punch. Fredeth jumps back and Steven’s fist misses him by inches.
FREDETH: (laughing) Good one, but you still missed.
STEVEN: (cocky smile) Do you know what I have that you don’t?
FREDETH: (smirks) What?
Steven extends his leg kicking Fredeth in the chest sending him back flying into the air and to the ground.
STEVEN: (smiling) Slayer strength.
Fredeth slowly pulls himself up in a sitting position and takes the pads off his hands. As he smiles and laughs, he brings his hands to his chest rubbing it.
FREDETH: (coughs, laughs) Good one. You finally used that move.
Steven makes his way over to Fredeth and helps him up to his feet.
STEVEN: (remorseful) My bad, did that hurt?
FREDETH: Yes, that hurt and it’s supposed to hurt. That’s what’s wrong with you. You always do that, you do something that you want, and then you feel sorry for it after you did it. It’s like you do things just to make others happy.
Steven sighs and rolls his eyes.
STEVEN: (annoyed) Not you, too.
FREDETH: (smirks) So, I’m not the only one that has told you that?
STEVEN: No, you’re not.
FREDETH: Do you think it’s true?
They move over to the porch stairs and sit.
STEVEN: Yeah, I guess. I need to change that about myself. To be honest with you, some times I don’t feel like a man.
FREDETH: (concerned) Really?
STEVEN: Yeah, I don’t and I just feel like a weak, pathetic loser.
Fredeth: Well, you‘re not weak anymore. I guarantee that. (Jokingly) Now, the loser thing I can’t help with but I’m pretty sure you’ll remain that way.
Fredeth begins to laugh just as Steven joins him.
FREDETH: (in a serious tone) Seriously though, you’re not a loser and you never were. So, don’t let anyone ever tell you different. But to be frank, you have to man up. You need a thick skin. You are a Slayer now not a little boy. This has changed your life and you’ll never be the same anymore. So I’m going to tell you one thing.
STEVEN: What is that?
FREDETH: Be strong and don’t worry about what others think and always follow the rules.
STEVEN: You’re a pretty cool watcher. Last week you seemed pretty stuffy.
FREDETH: I was just stressed by the whole Demon Slayer situation.
STEVEN: Have you talked to Minxie? Do you know how Willow is doing?
FREDETH: (sighs) Yes, this morning.
STEVEN: What did she say? Is Willow okay?
FREDETH: (his face falls) No, she isn’t. She fell into a coma for two days then her brain shut down. (Beat) Willow is brain dead.
Clear shock washes over Steven’s face as his mouth drops.
STEVEN: Oh god. (Stands to feet) I don’t get how a spell that’s supposed to help the world would put a person in a coma. This is why I hate all of this magic stuff, innocent people get hurt for no apparent reason or they even… die.
FREDETH: Steven, that’s life.
STEVEN: (raising voice) No its not! Do you really think half of the world even knows that demons exist? They think it’s all pretend, but it’s real. (Beat) And some people get dragged into this life when they didn’t even want it.
FREDETH: Is this conversation still about Willow? Or do you have something to say?
STACIE: (OS) Are you two bickering? Get over yourselves.
STEVEN and FREDETH both turn around and discover STACIE standing at the back door with her hands on her hips. She proceeds to walk across the porch and down the stairs.
STACIE: Well, I’m about to split. Noah’s gonna start PMS - ing if I don’t get his truck back to him. Oh and by the way, that house, (points to the house) not cute. One word. Move.
She swings around on her heel and begins to exit the back yard with her red hair flowing behind her. Then she comes to a stop before she exits the gate and turns to them.
STACIE: Oh, Steven. I put the box of porn under your bed, you might need it tonight.
She leaves the back yard. Steven’s face is bright red as his eyes widens. He looks back at Fredeth who is laughing.
FREDETH: Don’t look at me.
Then back at Stacie who is climbing into the jeep with a huge smile on her face.
STEVEN: (under breath) I hate her.
