Alexandra (speaking frustratedly at the portrait): "Dimitri, why did you bring me here? So I can go through all this agony?" (She walks away and tosses off her coat, then grabs a vase(?) to throw at the fireplace, but a hand grabs her she can throw it. She gasps and turns around in suprise.)

The scene fades out, then returns later. Edmund is standing next to her, gripping her arm to prevent her from throwing the object.
Edmund: "Before you throw that thing, you should know its appraised value is about $10,000. But go ahead if it helps you. Make your day."

Alexandra: "I've already lost too much of value today." (She slowly puts down object.)

Edmund: "What have you lost, Alex?"

Alexandra: "There isn't going to be an Andrassy foundation. It can't exist unless it's at Pine Valley Hospital, and I can't allow it to happen there." (She walks over and sits down on the couch.)

Edmund: "What happened?"

Alexandra: "Joe Martin sided with David. He's recommending to the board that he be director of the foundation."

Edmund: "Well, he probably said that because you refused to take the position yourself."

Alexandra (angrily throwing her hands over her face): "Oh, God in heaven, we're not going to go through this again, are we?"

Edmund: "Alex, what's going on?"

Alexandra: "Well, they thought, I suppose, that I would simply fold, that I wouldn't care who carried out my husband's wishes. But you know what? I would prefer to destroy it myself than hand it over to that murderer."

Edmund (sitting down next to her): "I know you blame him for your roommate's death."

Alexandra: "Yes, I do, because he was guilty. I tried to explain that to Joe. But I couldn't convince anyone of the truth. That was in stark evidence today."

Edmund: "You can tell me. I'll listen." (He gets up and kneels down next to her.) "Alex, were you in love with David Hayward?" (She turns to him, startled.)

The scene fades out, then returns later. Edmund is stoking the fire in the fireplace, while Alex is sitting with a cup of tea.
Alexandra (lifting her cup): "This is very nice. You didn't have to do that. Thank you." (She takes a sip.)

Edmund: "Oh, this? Well, I felt like a cup of tea."

Alexandra: "Oh. I'm sure. Just for the record, I was never in love with David. I couldn't stand him from the moment I met him. He seems to enjoy having power over vulnerable and fragile people. Women especially."

Edmund (sitting next to her): "Did he hurt you?"

Alexandra: "Only with what he did to Siobhan and the fact that he never took responsibility for what happened."

Edmund: "So... you're going to let him have his way again." (He takes a sip.)

Alexandra (surprised): "What?"

Edmund: "You're going to let him end up with Dimitri's foundation."

Alexandra: "Haven't you been listening? There isn't going to be a foundation. I'll get together with Jackson, and we'll figure out a way to dissolve it. Maybe I can take the endowment and start up a foundation somewhere else in England or anywhere..."

Edmund: "Even so, you're letting go your responsibility. You're letting go of Dimitri's last wish."

Alexandra: "But there's nothing I can do about that now."

Edmund: "Except run away. You know, because you're afraid of David."

Alexandra: "I'm not afraid of David."

Edmund (egging her on): "Well, if it's not fear, then what is it, Alex? Is David more important to you than your husband?"

Alexandra (quietly): "Oh."

Edmund: "I didn't think so. So quit being a coward. You stay and you fight him. For my brother's sake."   (He puts his cup down, grabs his coat and leaves without saying another word to her.)

The scene fades out, then return later. Erica has just left David, who's lying on his bed in a blue silk robe. There's a knock on the door and he goes over to open it, thinking it's Erica. He's shocked to find Alex standing in the doorway.
Alexandra (arms crossed): "May I come in?" (She enters and stares at him.) "I've got some good news for you. I've decided to go along with Joe Martin. I won't oppose you being named to the Andrassy foundation."

David: "Well, that's very courageous of you, Alex. I think the board is meeting about now. Why don't I get dressed and we can go there and you can tell them what you decided?"

Alexandra: "Well, it's all right. I've already spoken to Joe. He's proposing your name to the board right now... as co-director of the foundation."

David (smiles, closing the door): "Co-director?"

Alexandra (smirking at him): "I'm going to stay in Pine Valley and run the foundation with you. We'll be working together."
