TALE CONTINUES

Synopsis of Month 1, Week 2, Days 2-3 (next day)

At school the next morning, Richie overhears Erika discussing Jake & Amy’s affair with another friend. When the friend leaves, Richie confronts Erika about where she heard that rumor. Erika tells Richie it is NOT a rumor & that Julia & Alicia are planning to expose it in the school newspaper. During their conversation, Erika makes several wisecracks which serve to remind the audience Erika is living with her father (Michael) because she can’t stand Julia.

Meanwhile, Tammy goes to Jackie’s for breakfast & happens to meet Timothy, who already knows about Tammy because, after seeing her a few times, he has become quite interested in her. Tammy, however, has no prior knowledge of Timothy, including the fact that he is Erika’s half-brother. As such, Timothy is easily able to lend a listening ear to Tammy. During their conversation, Tammy reveals she is from Rochester ME. When Timothy mentions Christine is also from there, Tammy brushes it off as a coincidence, but slips up when she says “Chrissy”, instead of Christine. Somewhat stunned by the “Chrissy” reference, Timothy tells Tammy that only Christine’s parents call her “Chrissy”. Realizing her mistake, Tammy tells Timothy she just figured Christine always went by “Chrissy” … & then quickly leaves the restaurant, taking her order to go.

Jenna & Alicia have another session. It goes somewhat well….

Rather confused by Tammy’s hurried exit, Timothy returns home & asks Erika if she knows Tammy. Erika, attempting to reduce any connections to her & Donnie’s kidnapping-situation, wisely tells Timothy she does not know Tammy.

After eating her breakfast at a table in the Boulevard Family Center, Tammy decides to go to the police station to talk with Steve about Donnie….

Richie storms into the school newspaper office to ask Julia about the Jake-Amy affair & find out why she was planning to expose it….

Jenna & Alicia end their session; Jenna isn’t convinced things are going well even though Alicia claims they are.
