The Episode;
Teaser
Audrey, still very pregnant walks through town square with Daniel, her father beside her. As they pass by Joe’s café a chair is in her path. Daniel jumps to move it but too slowly as she presses it out of her path. “Really you have to stop treating me like I’m a porcelain doll. Why do you think I didn’t bring Nathan.” She says as she walks ahead of him shaking her head, she sighs heavily. He follows as she walks across town, wobbling a bit.
Through a telescope, someone is watching Audrey. It’s Mavis, her evil mother.
Mavis on a hill smiles slyly as Audrey walks into a doctor’s office, Daniel behind her. Mavis ponders. Flashing back to when she was pregnant with her.
Inside a cabin Mavis lays on the bed, her large baby bump making her dress tight. She complains to Daniel, “I feel so giant.”
“What am I supposed to do about it?” he asks picking up the clothes on the floor.
As Mavis stands on the hill looking down through a telescope at Daniel, Mavis in a snarky manner says, “Now you care.”
Inside the doctor’s office Audrey waits in the waiting room as she fills out forms. She’s called by the receptionist who is uncertain what name she should use, Abigail or Audrey. Audrey directs her to use Audrey, Abigail reminds her too much of the crucible, you know witches and all. The receptionist chuckles and nods.
Audrey walks into the exam room, and to her surprise, Nathan is there. She’s not too pleased about.
“Do you think I was going to miss this?” he says calling her “Audrey.” Very intentionally. She sighs and sits on the exam table.
Daniel glares at Nathan. Noticing the tension she tells them, “Be nice.”
Inside a storage room containing boxes and Freezer equipment, a shadow on the wall appears to change its shape as eerie music plays.
Inside the exam room Audrey is getting an ultrasound. The technician cheerfully tells her, “Let’s hope that the child’s facing the right way this time, maybe we can get a peek at gender.” Audrey, Nathan, and Daniel looking at the ultrasound marvels at the baby, who is facing perfectly to tell gender. “There it is.” The technician pushes a button to snap a photo and just then there’s a scream heard down the hall. They all look in that direction.
In the hall Audrey rushes up to the storage room Daniel and Nathan behind her. The door open a nurse stands in the hall shocked she stares at goo in the room over all the supplies, a giant hole in the wall.
Act I
As police are around securing the scene, Audrey questions the nurse, asking “Did you see anything?”
“It was a lizard crawling on its belly.” The nurse says frightened.
Nathan comes up with James, “This is our case.” He says trying to be gentle, but Audrey glares at James and he backs away, “Okay.” He says giving in.
James and Daniel stand by Nathan. James presses Nathan, “Well stop her.”
“You stop her,” Nathan says.
Daniel chuckling shakes his head, “She’s not going to give this up is she?”
Audrey orders James saying, “Maybe you should get a sample of this.” She points to the goo.
“Yeah, we wouldn’t want to see you lean down.”
Nathan talks to the doctor, “What’s in the closet.”
The doctor explains, “Donations, our supply of IVF donations are lost.”
Daniel questions, “IVF donations?”
James announces, “Sperm.”
The doctor explains, “Some women want babies but don’t have a man.”
Daniel sighing says, “Maybe Mavis should have done that.” As he walks, he flashes back to;
the 1750s inside a church. Norman Crocker, with his handlebar mustache, stands in the front of the church as Daniel approaches, “You asked me to be here.” Daniel tells Norman, as Norman looks to him solemnly. The preacher behind him.
“There’s a situation you need to attend to,” Norman says to Daniel, reprimanding him. He looks to the side where Mavis, in 1700s attires looks down, her face red as if she’s been crying.
Norman being gentle with her encourages her to tell him. Hesitantly looking down at the floor, “I’m pregnant. You are the father. I haven’t been with anyone else. I don’t have any family to help me, no one to take care of me and the child.” She cries shaking terrified.
Daniel shocked flashes back to; a sunny day, the town bustles with people, Daniel sees Mavis across the dirt street and mesmerized he goes to her. “You’re beautiful.” He says.
Smiling slyly she says, “Come with me,” and he follows her blindly as she pulls him into the tavern.
Inside the second floor of the tavern, Daniel is with Mavis kissing deeply as if in a trance he tells her how beautiful she is and kisses her deeply. She pulls him close to her near the bed.
Inside the church, Daniel stands shocked, as Mavis is in front of him looking down at the floor tears streaming down her cheeks.
Norman leans up to Daniel, “You need to take responsibility for this, for her.” He looks to the preacher.
Daniel, panting heavily, nods. He takes Mavis’s hand and pulls her over to the preacher. She calms down as they face the preacher.
“Alright.” The preacher says, “Marriage is a sacred covenant that God created and those who have made this covenant no man can tear it apart.”
In the present, inside the Police Station Daniel looks up at if coming back from his memory just as Dwight asks, “You think the lizard ate the sperm as food.” Nathan, Audrey, James, and Daniel are in his office with him.
“I hope not,” James says protecting his privates.
“It seems that the damage done at the clinic ruined the supply,” Nathan says.
“It could be a succubus.” Daniel says, “Those things are from legend.”
“Either way” Audrey says, “We need to find out who’s connected to this trouble to heal them.”
“You’re on the case then?” Dwight asks as if trying to get her to see that’s a bad idea.
Audrey looks towards him confidently, “Yes.” She presses a notebook against Nathan’s chest, “Let’s start with questioning the people who were there.”
Nathan hesitates, taking the notebook. She’s out the door before he can object. Following her, he says, “Ah…Audrey.”
In the hospital in Duke’s room where he lays in a comma, Sam, his wife is reading in a chair next to his bed. Duke’s monitors start to beep. Nurses come in, “What’s going on?” She asks. Duke flat lines. “No.” Sam yells, watching. Tears stream down her face. The nurses call code and a doctor rushes in shocking him back.
Hugging the doctor, Sam thanks him. He pulls away from her, “Sam, your husband can’t stay like this forever. We need to talk.”
Inside the doctor’s office, Sam sits in front of the doctor’s desk as he explains to her and Abe, “Duke is in a persistent vegetative state.”
“You explained that to me months ago.”
“But with what happened today, his body is failing. His heart can’t take this.”
Abe asks, “But he could wake up from this?
“It’s unlikely his brain activity is decreasing by the day.” The doctor says and looks to Sam, “You asked for a sign of what to do. I think you got it. At the least, let him go.” He says to Sam and hands her a Do Not Resuscitate form.”
Shaking she takes it from him. He leaves the room to let them talk. As he does a nurse outside says, “We really want to have a baby.” To another nurse.
Abe turns to Sam, “Whatever you want to do Sam.”
Sam looks at the forms, leafing through them she sees there’s one for organ donation. Tears stream down her cheeks. She looks to the door, and suddenly she grabs a pen and begins filling out the organ donation form.
Abe gets up and leaves.
Sam fills out the organ donation form, asking for sperm.
In the police station as day turns to night Audrey and Nathan question those at the station. The sperm attendant doesn’t seem thrilled about his job. Another pregnant woman wants to chat Audrey up about her horrid pregnancy symptoms. Audrey doesn’t seem interested in talking. One man was there to leave a sample, since they’ll pay you for sperm. A man was there to leave a sample for his wife – he’s ashamed they can’t get pregnant.
Done with the questioning, Audrey and Nathan are stumped. Nathan wonders about the attendant, he doesn’t seem happy about his job. They agree to talk to him again tomorrow.
Inside the hospital, at the nurse’s station Sam is fighting with the nurse at the nurse’s station about the form asking for sperm, “All you need is a statement of intent from the male. My husband wanted to have a child.”
Dave and Vince walk in, overhearing they ask, “A child?” curious about Sam.
“You’re trying to get sperm?” Vince says glossing over the document in the nurse's hands. She quickly pulls it out of his sight.
“She is right.” Dave says, “According to standards all you need is the male’s intention to have a child with the woman, “Though hospital policy varies.”
“I will talk to our administrator.” The nurse says picking up the phone.
Suddenly there’s rumbling, the nurse holding the phone pauses. A giant ball of goo with a lizard-like tale attacks the nurse, taking her inside a liquid bubble and slithering away.
Act II
At the hospital nurses station that day, James questions, Dave, Vince, and Sam after the attack. Audrey and Nathan show up. Audrey asks, “What are you doing here?”
“I got here first.” He says casually, “I talked to the Administrator, she’ll do what she can.” James says. Audrey glares at him still upset about him upstaging them. He blurts out, “Originally this was my case.”
“Can’t you all share it?” Sam asks leaning against the counter, “It could be a family affair.”
Audrey looks at James annoyed, “Dwight sent you, didn’t he. He doesn’t think I’m up to it.”
Nathan looks to her, “There’s been an attack Audrey, you’re certainly in no shape...” Audrey glares at him but choosing his words wisely he confidently says, “I’m just saying, you don’t walk as fast as you used to.”
Under his breath James, looking down at his notepad as he writes says, “That’s why I got here first.”
Sam overhearing says, “Well um….” And just then Nathan’s phone rings.
He answers saying, “It’s the lab.” After listening to the other end he’s surprised, blushing a bit, but accepts that answer given. Hanging up the phone as everyone wonders what it was about he reveals, “The fluid was seminal fluid.” He says blushing.
James covering himself says, “It is eating sperm.”
Nathan, blushing majorly corrects them as Dave and Vince start to come up with possible locations that the creature might strike. Feeling abashed he says, “No, the creature didn’t leave anything besides seminal fluid, it is sperm.”
Audrey begins looking around at the woman’s desk, “I remember having a sperm attacking dream when I was 14.” Nathan and James look at her fascinated with her forthcoming-ness. She looks to them, “Well Lin did in the 1800s, the tea lady. She was not about to engage in any kind of a romantic relationship, certainly not after the boxer rebellion.” She looks to Nathan, “She would have liked you.”
Nathan looks at her and smiles at her lovingly, “Well that’s good. I’m sure I would have liked her.”
James shutters creeped out by his parents.
Sam clears her throat, “There is a woman missing.”
“Why?” Audrey says, having observed the crime scene she says, “Why was she taken? Not you.”
James ponders, “Maybe she had a sperm attacking dream.” He says questioning himself on his logic. Nathan and Audrey are not sold, and Dave and Vince are silent on that point shaking their heads.
Sam offers the information of her talking about wanting to have a baby. Perhaps she’s a client of the clinic.
“Did you get her family information…from the hospital administrator?” Audrey asks James.
James with guilt all over his face reveals without words that he didn’t, explaining “She was on her way to a meeting concerning sexual harassment issues. She couldn’t not go.”
Nathan takes charge, “Okay, well we’ll talk to the lab tech. It’s got to be him. He’ll know if she’s a client.”
As Nathan and Audrey head out, Dave and Vince watch Audrey waddling and go up to her and whisper to her about Sam, explaining that she should talk to her, “Sam’s trying to get sperm from Duke to have a baby”, they reveal they’re concerned. Audrey knows she has to stay and Nathan gets James to come with him mouthing thank you to Vince and Dave. On their way out, Dave and Vince reminisce about when Sarah waddled pregnant with James.
Audrey catches up to Sam calling out her name. Sam stops for her to catch up saying, “Good, I’m glad you realized you shouldn’t be involved. It’s not safe for you.”
Audrey huffs annoyed, but pretends to agree, asking Sam, “How’s Duke and how are you doing?”
Sam looks glum.
Inside the clinic, Nathan and James talk to the lab tech at the office who reveals that the nurse was a client, her husband, was there that morning to provide a sample. The tech talks about them saying they were nice to him. He’s despondent for them as he explains it’s their fifth attempt. I think her husband was beginning to lose hope this time.
Nathan suddenly has an idea and rushes to the crime scene.
Inside the storage room Nathan, with James and the lab tech look at the storage containers for sperm. He sees a sample bottle split open, picking the shards up with gloves on he asks the lab tech with him what it says.
The tech revealed it’s the husband’s name.
James comes to the conclusion that Nathan does, the giant sperm is the husband’s sperm, “that’s why it attacked the nurse.”
“We really need to contact the husband now,” Nathan says.
“You didn’t before.” The lab tech questions.
James cringes saying, “Long story.”
“He’s the one that’s troubled.”
“But what can a giant sperm do?” James asks.
ACT III
Inside the police station’s interrogation room the husband sits with James, Nathan in front of them. He says, “You’re telling me my wife is missing because my giant sperm took her.”
“Yes.” James says, “We need to know where she is.”
“You should be out looking for her.”
Nathan steps up to him, “We are. Where would it have taken her?”
Flabbergasted the man says, “I love my wife.”
Nathan irritated says, “This is your trouble Walter, you control it.”
“I didn’t know I could do this. I have no idea where it would have taken her.” The husband, Walter, pleads, “Find my wife.”
Inside the chief's office, Dwight stands behind his desk, “Do you believe him?”
Nathan nods saying, “Yes.”
“We were in there with him for hours. He doesn’t have any idea, where she is.” James affirms, “He loves her.”
“Well...it’s his trouble, you can cure him,” Dwight says.
Nathan shakes his head, “I don’t feel comfortable doing that until we find her. She could be somewhere we can’t get to, deep underneath the ocean, or high in the clouds and only he can bring her back.”
James nods realizing, “Only it can bring her back.”
“We need Audrey for this,” Dwight says understanding the situation.
“Too bad you pissed her off,” James says patting Dwight on the shoulder.
Dwight looks at James annoyed, knowing he’s the one that did it, “Pardon me? I pissed her off?”
Outside the hospital, Audrey sits with Sam on a bench. Sam pleads, “I want Duke back. I can’t give up on him. He was killed by the man with the tattoo but wouldn’t it be wonderful if he came back and didn’t have to fear that anymore because it already happened. And when he did we had a child.” Sam, looking for affirmation looks to Audrey, who is trying to listen but lost in her thoughts.
Angrily Audrey blurts out, “I am perfectly capable of going on an investigation” Sam jumps in her seat alarmed as Audrey continues. “Attacking sperm or not-” Sam cuts her off;
Angrily Audrey blurts out, “I am perfectly capable of going on an investigation” Sam jumps in her seat alarmed as Audrey continues. “Attacking sperm or not-” Sam cuts her off;
“Audrey, you’re scaring me, and this is not the first time today.”
Audrey barks, “I’m hormonal…” at Sam beginning a rant, “It makes you feel crazy. And to have everyone jumping all over themselves to help you move a butter knife. It’s infuriating.” Looking right at Sam, Audrey blurts out, “You are insane to want to do this. You don’t even want to have a child now. You just know that Duke does…did.” Audrey breaths deeply. Calmly she says, “You have to accept where you are.”
Sam stares into the distance and tears begin to stream down her cheeks. Audrey’s phone rings, answering it she listens to the other end and tells Sam, as tears stream down Sam’s face, that she has to go, “Nathan needs me.”
Sam gathering herself say, “Of course, I’ll be here.” As Audrey waddles away.
Inside the interrogation room, Walter, the husband sits there worry all over his face. Audrey, very pregnant, enters, “Come with me.” She says and walks back out of the room. Hesitant he doesn’t know what to do but, after some hesitation, he follows her.
In the police station’s main room, Audrey, waiting for the husband turns to Nathan and James, “You questioned him in the interrogation room. That’s for criminals.”
As Nathan and James start to respond with excuses Walter walks in and Audrey turns to him, “Have a seat.” She says and asks if he would like something to drink.
He shakes his head, “I just want to know where my wife is.”
Audrey pulls up a chair and sits across from him, “This morning when you were at the clinic before this all started, what were you thinking?”
The husband explains, “It’s our fifth time trying invitro, if it doesn’t work I’m worried she’ll leave me.”
“So, it wants to keep her like you do.” Audrey decides.
James nods, “That’s good. It will keep her alive.”
The man is startled by such talk and turns to them, but Audrey asks him, “Where would it take her, where would you want to take her to win her back?”
The man thinks, “When we dated we loved going to the lighthouse on the north side we used to talk for hours.” Nathan and James take off.
In the car Nathan declares they are going to make a stop on the way, to buy some spermicide.
James jokes, “A little father-son trip.”
Nathan rolls his eyes, ignoring James.
Inside a forest cave, there is a sound of dripping, cave paintings on the wall. A young cop comes around a corner, “Is anyone there?” He calls out.
Suddenly, Mavis is in front of him. He jumps. Shuttering he says, “Mavis.” She acknowledges that she is Mavis and he blurts out, “There’s a trouble. A husband’s sperm is attacking his wife, took her away.”
Mavis smiles, “Thank you.”
“My family won’t be troubled.” He pleads.
Mavis turns and says, “Yes, you have my word.” A giant smile covers her face.
In a dry cave, Mavis approaches Kat, Zara, and Jeremy saying, “Come with me we have a trouble to corrupt.”
Act IV
At the lighthouse on the beach, Nathan and James look around the beach, James even breaks into the lighthouse. Nothing is there. Then Nathan sees something in the distance. Suddenly there’s a noise behind him, “Find her.” Someone says. Both James and Nathan are startled, they look and see its Audrey and Walter behind them.
“Don’t sneak up like that,” Nathan demands annoyed.
James adds, “We’re fighting a sperm monster, those things have testosterone, it might not be happy when we take her.”
Walter nods thinking James is right. James asks, “How did you get here so fast?” James asks.
“I’m not that slow,” Audrey says annoyed. “You took forever.”
“We made a stop,” Nathan says and opens the box of spermicide thinking he sees something.
Walter points them towards where he and his wife, Tiffany used to sit. She’s not there. They don’t understand why she’s not there.
Nathan thinks he sees something. He heads towards it, and the others follow. It’s a trail of goo. It leads into a cave.
Inside the sea cave, covered in goo Tiffany lays unconscious. Walter goes to her with Nathan and James. James feels her pulse, “She’s fine.” He says. The man’s relieved. As she begins to wake, she sees her husband and calls his name, “Walter.”
Audrey suddenly realizes, “This isn’t right. Something’s not right.” Just then she’s taken by the giant sperm, swallowed up like the woman. Nathan tries to get to her. He pounds against the sperm, but he can’t puncture it. Mavis comes out of the shadows and with her hands sends him flying.
“She’s mine now,” Mavis says and moves to throw Nathan against the wall but as she does James squirts her with spermicide. She closes her eyes losing sight of him, so Nathan falls.
James yells to Walter, “Hold onto Tiffany.” As he does Mavis cringes in pain, running away and taking the giant sperm with her, with Audrey in it.
Act V
In the hospital waiting room that night Daniel annoyed yells at James, “You just left her there.”
James argues, “I didn’t leave her Mavis took her. I had to get dad back.”
Inside a hospital room, Nathan lies on a hospital bed unconscious.
Inside the hospital waiting room, James and Daniel stand in an antagonistic stance. Dave, standing next to Vince says, “Any harder and he wouldn’t have survived.” They look at him annoyed, “That’s what the doctor said.” Dave says defending himself.
James sighs, “I think that was her plan. She never liked him.”
“She doesn’t like that he can cure the troubles.” Daniel says, “Not even she can do that.”
Vince points out the obvious, “She’ll be able to when that child grows up.”
Daniel worried reveals, “She doesn’t know about that yet…she can’t, or she might not let the child live.”
“She won’t hurt the child,” Vince argues shocked.
Daniel sighs, “I don’t think so. The child would be another chance at a legacy.”
“If Audrey panics she could go into labor.” Dave points out.
Vince argues with him, “Has she ever panicked in her life.”
Dave bickers back, “She’s been acting very odd recently with the pregnancy not even with James was she like this.”
“We have to get mom back.” James demands.
“But how?” Daniel says pacing.
“Someone should stay with Nathan let him know we’re on it.” Dave offers.
“You’re volunteering,” James says revealing the obvious, they don’t want to deal with Mavis.
Vince says, “Yes, go on find the sperm creature.”
In the hospital hallway that night as Daniel and James walk down the hall, Walter and Tiffany walk up, “Is there anything we can do to help.” Walter asks, “it is my trouble, can you cure me.”
“Only Nathan or Audrey could cure you, but they can’t now,” James says.
Daniel looks to Walter with a glimmer in his eyes, “But you’re still connected to it.” he says with an idea.
“Mavis hijacked it.” James reminds him.
“Hijacked isn’t the same as controls. We can take it back.”
Daniel walks into an abandoned hospital room tells Walter to sit and think about what he was thinking just before this all began, “feel it, all of it.” he eggs on Walter.
Walter talks about it out loud saying he was worried his wife would leave him if they couldn’t have a child. She puts her hand on his, Daniel rips it away.
Walter startles and James pulls Tiffany back.
Daniel says, “Now think about Audrey focus on bringing her back to Nathan, about their child and keeping it safe.”
Walter focuses.
Through Walter's eyes he can see Audrey in the giant sperm, which rolls through a giant cave. The sperm moves from Mavis. She’s startled. She stands in its path saying, “What, no.” But it rolls right over her.
Inside the hospital room, James holds Tiffany away and Daniel stands alert. Walter reports, “I can see it, it’s coming back.”
Daniel says, “Bring her to the hospital green.” He heads outside through the side door. James follows.
Outside the hospital on the hospital green Daniel, James following, walks outside as if on a mission. The giant sperm, with Audrey inside, comes up and drops her off on the green disintegrating as Walter opens his eyes. Daniel goes to her saying, “Thank God you’re alright.” He hugs her.
Embracing him, she says, “That was actually really comfy, like being in a womb.”
James looking over her smiles, “Of course she’s not going to panic nine months pregnant or not.”
Audrey glares at him and says, “I am not a porcelain doll.” Her glare softens into a smile, “But I appreciate you worrying about me.”
As James and Daniel help Audrey, covered in goo up from the ground, Tiffany turns to Walter and says, “I had no idea you were worried about me leaving.”
“I know you really want a baby, and so do I.”
Standing in front of him, leaning against him she says, “I want a baby with you. And honestly, I hate doing the IVF, the hormones and the sitting around I’d just as soon do things the old fashion way. If I recall, we were good at that.”
He kisses her deeply. Mid-kiss she says, “And maybe you can be commanding to your sperm.” Mid-kiss he chuckles.
Audrey, Daniel, and James watch Tiffany and Walter. Suddenly Audrey turns to Daniel and James, “Where’s Nathan?” She asks glum.
Tag
Inside Nathan’s hospital room Audrey sits by Nathan’s bed. They wait all day. James and Daniel bring in food for Audrey. As the sun begins to set Nathan stirs, and awakens. Just as night falls Audrey greats him calling out, “Nathan.” He assures her he’s alright and squeezes her hand in his, pleased she’s there, alright. He thanks Daniel.
James comments, “Mavis still really wants to kill you. And she’s not pulling any punches this time.”
Nathan turns to Audrey, “She still really wants you.”
Daniel with determination says, “We won’t let them have her.”
James reiterates, “No we won’t.”
Dave and Vince enter, “Oh Nathan good, you’re awake. Perfect timing.” Vince and Dave say handing them an envelope, explaining, the clinic doctor gave them to give to her.
Nathan and Audrey, open up a large envelope with the sonogram picture inside and a pink piece of paper. “It’s a girl,” Nathan says smiling happily.
“No wonder you’ve been acting extra hormonal.” Vince chuckles.
Audrey about to defend herself says, “I have-okay I have.”
“There’s an extra dose of female hormones with girls,” Dave says.
They all chuckle and Nathan squeezes her hand.
Sam enters Nathan’s room, “I heard everyone was here.”
“Sam,” Audrey says feeling horrible for how she talked to her.
Before Audrey can speak Sam says, “You were right. Can we talk?” She motions to the hall.
Nathan lets her hand go nodding for her to go as she says she’ll be back.
James assures her, “We’ll watch him.”
Outside the room, in the hospital hallway Sam and Audrey walk side by side, “I’ve decided to…” her voice cracks, “to take Duke off life support. He’s not coming back. I need to accept that. I just finished the forms.”
Audrey offers, “I can go with you to hand them in.”
Sam nods, “Please.” Sam says crying.
At the nurse’s station with Audrey beside her holding onto her free hand, Sam hands the nurse the completed forms (an agreement to take Duke off life support).
The nurses look at her and thanks her. Tears stream down her cheeks. She looks to Audrey, “I’m going to spend the night with him.”
“Do you want me to go with you?” Audrey offers.
“No, You go back to Nathan. I think I’d rather be alone with him.”
Deep in the hospital hallway, Sam walks alone. In the distance, a mysterious hooded figure goes into Duke’s room.
Inside Duke’s room, where he’s hooked up to monitors, the hooded man places his hands wrinkled with a greenish tint, on Duke’s chest. Suddenly Duke jolts up awake, his monitors beep wildly.
In the dark hallway Sam, alarmed by the beeping, looks up and just misses the mysterious hooded man walk out of Duke’s room. But she sees the nurses rush into Duke’s room. Panicked, Sam runs to Duke.
