The next morning, Julian woke up. Rebecca had barely
let him get any sleep at all, she wouldn't leave him alone or
quit trying to get things for him, every time he drifted off to
sleep Rebecca would wake him up and ask if he wanted
anything. He flashed back to the night before. Just as he had
drifted off, Rebecca entered the room dressed in a nurses
outfit, and handed Julian a buzzer.

"What's this?" Julian asked.

"Oh, pookey your arm will be fine, Nurse Becky is on
duty so if you need anything just ring this buzzer."
Rebecca said. Rebecca showed him how to use it, Julian
jumped as it made a loud buzzing sound.

"Rebecca its a broken arm, not a broken leg," Julian
moaned. Julian's flashback ended. Just as Julian was
starting to drift off, Rebecca walked in.

"Wake up, pookey!" Rebecca said.

"Here we go again..." Julian thought. Rebecca placed
a tray on the bed.

"What's this?" Julian asked in surprise.

"Breakfast in bed," Rebecca said.

"Thanks," Julian said, still confused by Rebecca's
strange behavior.

"I knew you would probably be wiped out from last night
so I had the cooks fix your favorite breakfast,"
Rebecca said. "Let's see little miss goody-goody Liz
out do this." Rebecca thought. "Wait- before Liz has
a chance you better come up with something to out-do
yourself! That way he won't have a split second to
think about Liz."

"I'll be right back," Rebecca said. Rebecca left the
room and opened the closet, and sorted through an
armfull of clothes. "There has to be something decent
looking in here," Rebecca said. Rebecca pulled out one
dress she hadn't worn yet, she had actually forgotten
whether it was a dress or a costume. "If I can't even
tell the difference, then its no wonder Julian doesn't
take me seriously. This problem calls for catalogs!"
Rebecca searched out some catalogs, but flipped
through the pages to not find anything that would help
her pull off her scheme. "This will never work!" Rebecca
said. Rebecca pulled out a credit card. "Time
to go shopping!" Rebecca said. Rebecca caught sight of
her outfit as she walked by the mirror and sighed in
frustration. "Yeah, not only would pookey think you're
nuts if you accidentally walked out dressed like a nurse
then I'd never be able to leave the mansion
again without being reminded of it." Rebecca said.
Rebecca quickly found a better outfit and went to
check on Julian, who looked like he was getting ready
to leave.

"And where are you going?" Rebecca asked.

"Out," Julian said. "And yes, my arm will be fine,"
Julian said, wondering why Rebecca was acting so
obsessive-compulsive lately. He didn't know what
Rebecca was up to but she was starting to scare him
these last few days. It was almost like she was trying
to be someone else. Julian couldn't help but smirk
deviously. "If I play this out just right, I might
be able to keep Rebecca from finding out that the
other woman is Eve and get rid of Liz at the same time."
He didn't want to play on Rebecca's jealousy but he wasn't
going to let Liz hurt Eve and he'd do whatever he had to
in order to get rid of Liz. Julian kissed Rebecca to lead her on.

Later, Julian had ran into a depressed Eve at the wharf.

"Eve are you alright?" Julian asked. Eve was on her
way to work.

"I'm just afraid to leave T.C. alone with Liz while
I'm at work," Eve said.

"Eve, that might not be a problem much longer." Julian
reassured her.

"What do you mean? I can't trust Liz for a second."
Eve said.

"that's exactly it. We have a way to get rid of Liz
for good!" Julian said.

"We do?" Eve asked in surprised.

"Rebecca." Julian said.

"What does Rebecca have to do with Liz?" Eve asked in
confusion.

"Don't ask how, but somehow Rebecca jumped to the
conclusion that Liz is someone from my past, when
she jumped to that conclusion she sealed Liz's doom."

"How?" Eve asked.

"If I blackmail Liz to go along with it then we might
be able to get rid of her for good." Julian said.
"Who knows what Rebecca could do to Liz if she had
enough proof."

"Probably what I've been wanting to do to her since
she started messing with my family." Eve said. "Rip
her to shreds." Eve was wondering how Rebecca could
have possibly jumped to the absurd conclusion that
Liz was the other woman.

Meanwhile, Rebecca had gotten a bunch of strange looks
as she shopped at one of the more casual stores. She
quickly hid behind a clothes rack as she saw Grace
Bennett shopping.

"This is where I draw the line," Rebecca said, quickly
leaving the store. As she left the next store Rebecca
struggled to carry the gigantic shopping bags. "I just
hope Julian likes my new look!" Rebecca said. It was
going to take some getting used to, but she didn't
want Julian thinking about Liz or anyone else. "Maybe
I'd better call a cab," Rebecca said. Rebecca sat down
on a bench and pulled out her cellphone, completely
unaware that Julian was kissing Eve!

"Eve, I'm so glad you're letting me be here for you
now," Julian said. Eve smiled.

"It means so much to me that you're helping me keep
my family together," Eve said. "I just wish we didn't have to keep our
friendship behind everyone's backs like this."

"We need to," Julian said regretfully. "At least until
we can keep Liz away from T.C."

"And until we can get her out of our house so its safe
for Whitney to come back to Harmony. Damn Liz for
trying to lead Whitney down the path of destruction I
was on." Eve said.

"Hey, don't be so hard on yourself. You've really
turned your life around." Julian reassured her.

"Have I?" Eve asked. "I've been letting Ivy make me
go behind Grace's back to help her get Sam because I
don't want T.C. finding out about my past. I even
sent my own daughter to Los Angeles even though T.C.
was against it. He was devestated when Whitney gave
up tennis. And who knows how far Liz will go to make
T.C. hers."

Tabitha and Endora were also at the wharf.

"So, what trouble is mommy's little demon going to
cause today?" Tabitha asked. Endora gave Tabitha
an evil smirk. "Oh, that little evil smile is so cute!" Tabitha said.
