After a car accident that resulted in her going into labor, Melissa Mustard was horrified to learn her newborn baby had been cut out of her and kidnapped by the child’s father, Ryder Turchese. While in the hospital, Melissa received an unexpected visit from her uncle, Colonel Michael Mustard, who alluded to the fact that he had met Melissa’s doctor, Catherine Grey before. The Colonel also told Melissa he would help her locate her missing son which confused Melissa more, because she had never revealed to anyone the sex of her child. Later, Melissa asked Dr. Grey if she had in fact met Colonel Mustard before, to which Dr. Grey replied that she had not. Melissa also asked Dr. Grey to once again reassure her that she had spoken with Inspector Brown about her baby’s kidnapping. Dr. Grey told her she had spoken to the inspector and not to worry. Later, Inspector Brown paid Melissa a visit and asked her for a detailed description of Ryder Turchese. Melissa complied, but was confused when Brown told her the investigation into her baby’s kidnapping had just begun and he had never even heard of Dr. Catherine Grey. Once Brown left, Melissa began to try and understand why she was receiving a lot of conflicting information, when Dr. Grey entered with some sedatives to help her relax. Dr. Melissa Mustard contemplated taking the sedatives prescribed to her by Dr. Grey, but she decided she needed answers from Dr. Grey more than she needed sleep. Melissa questioned Dr. Grey once again and Grey again reassured Melissa that she had been in contact with the police, but Melissa didn’t Grey’s story. Melissa’s suspicion increased when Dr. Grey quickly left Melissa’s hospital room. On her way to her to a so-called consultation, Dr. Grey was stopped by Dr. Paul Mandarin. Dr. Grey blew him off and went to the roof of the hospital, where she met with Dr. Justin Olive, Melissa’s close friend. Catherine told Justin that Melissa was starting to get very suspicious and was close to figuring out that they helped Ryder Turchese kidnap the baby. Melissa left her room to go and look for her baby, but was stopped by Dr. Mandarin, who ordered her to get back to bed. Melissa was shocked when Dr. Mandarin told her that Dr. Grey had explained Melissa’s situation to him, that her initial stitches were for the c-section that was performed, not for an internal tear, as Melissa had originally thought. Mandarin commented that who ever performed the c-section was a very skilled doctor, leading Melissa to believe that Dr. Grey performed the surgery and helped kidnap her baby. Melissa demanded that a nurse page Dr. Grey, but Dr. Mandarin told her that Grey wouldn’t hear the page from the roof. Melissa rushed to the roof, where she confronted Dr. Grey, nearly knocking her over the edge. Justin emerged from the shadows, and tried to defend Catherine, enraging Melissa even more. At first Melissa didn’t understand why Justin was defending Dr. Grey, but then she realized that Justin was the one who performed the c-section on her and gave her baby to Ryder Turchese. Unable to control her anger, Melissa lunged forward and pushed both Justin and Catherine off the side of the building. Clinging to the ledge, Justin and Catherine begged Melissa to help them. Catherine let go of Justin’s hand and grabbed onto Melissa’s arm, pulling Melissa closer to the ledge. Melissa’s injured abdomen was the only thing stopping her from toppling over the ledge herself, and she realized that she was going to have to make a decision to save either Justin or Catherine, both of whom helped take her child from her. Catherine told Melissa that if Melissa pulled her to safety, she would take her to her kidnapped baby. Holding onto both doctors proved to be too much for Melissa, so she chose to let Dr. Olive go, sending him plummeting to the pavement below. Dr. Grey climbed to safety, only to flee the roof seconds later, going back on her promise to take Melissa to her kidnapped baby. Across town, at a rundown apartment, a young woman tended to Melissa’s baby. The young woman, Darcy Puce, was surprised when Dr. Catherine Grey arrived, and told her to turn the baby over to her. The women fought over the child, but were stopped when Ryder Turchese entered the apartment. Grey told Ryder that Justin fell off of the roof, and that Melissa figured out that they kidnapped her baby. Ryder ordered Grey to go back to the hospital and find Melissa and bring her to him, before Melissa had a chance to find out that her uncle, Colonel Mustard was the real culprit behind her child’s kidnapping. Ryder then called Mustard to let him know that Melissa dropped Justin off of the roof and that she was close to finding out the truth. Darcy Puce listened in on the conversation and Ryder realized he knew exactly where Melissa went. Later, in a remote aircraft hangar, Darcy Puce boarded a plane with Melissa’s baby and Colonel Michael Mustard, headed for an undisclosed destination.

SLOTH

Former royal guard Matthew Steele applied for a job as a security guard at the Black Towers Hotel and was interviewed by the head of hotel security, Ralph Bleachum. Bleachum was impressed with Steele’s resume and offered him the job. As Matt went to tell his girlfriend, Kelley Meadow-Brook the news of his new job, he saw two familiar faces trying to check into the hotel. Matthew introduced Kelley to his mother, Patricia Peacock and his half-sister, Rachel. Mrs. Peacock demanded a room at the hotel, and could not understand that the hotel was not open for business due to the murder of Albert Canary. With all nearby accommodations booked, Matthew made a gesture and called Opal Ivory and asked her if it was alright if his mother and sister stayed with him at Ivory’s Boarding House. Mrs. Ivory agreed to let them stay and went to ready the room. Ivory was shocked when she turned and discovered Ryder Turchese standing in her kitchen. Ryder bound and gagged Mrs. Ivory and hid her in a closet. Matthew Steele brought his mother and half-sister back to the boarding house with him, not knowing that Ryder was holding Mrs. Ivory at knife-point in the closet. Dr. Catherine Grey, after learning that the death of Dr. Justin Olive was being ruled a suicide, went to the boarding house looking for Melissa Mustard. Matt, upon seeing that Melissa had returned to the boarding house, grew concerned that his mother and half-sister would have to find other accommodations. Then Matt decided, much to Kelley Meadow-Brook’s dismay, to let his family sleep in his room. Kelley had wanted to spend a romantic evening with Matt to celebrate his new job at the Black Towers Hotel. Matt reassured Kelley their plans for romance were still a go. Back at the boarding house, Dr. Grey arrived and saw that Melissa was inside. Grey entered through the back door, where she was surprised to see Ryder Turchese. Ryder explained that he too was at the boarding house, looking for Melissa, and that Colonel Mustard had ordered him to bring Melissa to him. When Dr. Grey expressed concern that the Colonel would sell them out to Melissa, Ryder told her that the Colonel only said to bring Melissa to him, and had not mentioned that Melissa had to be alive when he did. Once Matthew got his family settled upstairs, he and Kelley had sex on the couch and soon after fell asleep in each other’s arms. Ryder seized the opportunity and crept upstairs to the bedrooms, eventually coming across a red-headed woman lying in a bed. Without hesitation, Ryder took out his knife and plunged it into the sleeping woman’s back. While downstairs, Mrs. Ivory freed herself and hit Dr. Grey over the head with a tennis racquet. Patricia Peacock, turning in for the night, was horrified to discover her daughter, Rachel lying in a pool of blood. Patricia’s screams alerted Matthew and Kelley, who joined her in the bedroom. Upon seeing the gruesome scene, Matt ordered Kelley to take his mother and get out of the house. After meeting with Opal Ivory downstairs, Kelley dialed 9-1-1 and got the women outside. Later, at Blackport Memorial Hospital, Rachel was rushed into emergency surgery. Patricia, sitting vigil outside of the operating room, told Matt that if his sister didn’t survive, he would find himself without a family. While in the emergency room, Opal Ivory shocked her son C.J. with her reaction upon seeing Dr. Catherine Grey. Opal tried to explain to C.J. that Catherine and Ryder were both in the house earlier and that they were the ones responsible for Rachel’s violent attack, but her words fell on deaf ears. Across town, Ryder entered the small apartment, breathing heavy. Putting his head down on a table, Ryder soon realized that he was not alone in the room.

VANITY

After being arrested for the murder of Albert Canary, Sandra Sumac was taken into custody and questioned at the Blackport Police Station. Sandra told police that a hit man had been hired and dispatched to Vivienne Scarlet's location in Southern California, where Scarlet was working on a movie. At the very moment of Mrs. Sumac’s confession, the hit man watched Miss Scarlet from a catwalk high above the movie set. As Vivienne and her half-brother, Prince “Blanket” Onceblack squabbled the hit man seized the opportunity and cut a rope that was holding up a heavy light fixture high above them. As the crew watched helplessly, the light fixture came crashing down on Vivienne and “Blanket”, trapping them beneath twisted metal and broken glass. The hit man tried to make a quick exit but was apprehended by a security guard. Members of the horrified crew rushed to the set and helped get the heavy scaffolding off of the trapped victims. Meanwhile, in Blackport, Vivienne’s mother, Elizabeth Peacock-Canary, nervously waited for word on whether or not the hit man had been stopped before carrying out the diabolical plan to murder Miss Scarlet. Inspector Brown reluctantly told Mrs. Peacock-Canary that her daughter had been seriously injured and taken to a hospital in Los Angeles. Later in a dark hospital room, Vivienne was visited by “Blanket”, who worried when he saw that the local news was covering the story of the attack and tried to get Vivienne to turn off the TV. When the news story came on, Vivienne insisted on watching the coverage. Vivienne was confused, however, when the news story implied that the light falling on them was not an accident and that a suspect had been arrested. “Blanket” quickly turned off the TV, to Vivienne’s protests, but Vivienne was quickly distracted by the arrival of her mother, Elizabeth. “Blanket” left the women alone to catch up and went out in the hallway to the waiting arms of his partner, Kevin Kale. When “Blanket” voiced his concern that Elizabeth may let on that Vivienne’s injuries were more serious than she was aware, Kevin reassured him that Elizabeth knew to be discrete. Elizabeth left Vivienne alone to get some rest and joined the men in the hallway, where she broke down in tears. In the hospital room, the glow of the television highlighted the seriousness of one of Vivienne’s injuries: a 9 inch lesion running the length of the right side of her face. Later, Kevin and “Blanket” introduced Elizabeth to Dr. Richard Dove, a psychiatrist at the hospital, feeling that it would be helpful to have Dr. Dove with her when she told Vivienne of her injuries. Elizabeth, however disagreed, feeling that Dove’s presence would not be required. After visiting with Vivienne again, Elizabeth reconsidered and decided to have Dr. Dove help her break the news of the lesion to Vivienne. Elizabeth realized, however, that before they were to tell Vivienne the truth of the attack, she had to confess a shocking secret to the psychiatrist. Meanwhile, a nurse, who was checking on Vivienne in her room, made a comment about the lesion on her face, not realizing that Vivienne was awake and heard her. In Dr. Dove’s office, Elizabeth tearfully explained that Vivienne was not a product of an affair she had years before with Dr. Hugh Black, that in reality, Vivienne was purchased as a baby off of the black market. Elizabeth told Dr. Dove that she had passed Vivienne off as her and Hugh’s biological child as a way to keep Hugh in her life. Dr. Dove questioned Elizabeth as to what she believed would be Vivienne’s reaction if she ever discovered the truth. Elizabeth, distraught of the idea of losing Vivienne, fled Dove’s office and went to Vivienne’s room, followed closely by a concerned Dr. Dove and “Blanket”. The three were shocked when, instead of finding Vivienne, they found the bathroom mirror smashed and Vivienne nowhere to be found.

GREED

Alphonse Brunette, on a quest for a treasure he believed belonged to his family, arrived at the Palace of Prince Philippe Azure in the guise of Herr Wilhelm Braun, a dealer of antique firearms. But Braun wasn’t the only unwelcome visitor of the night. While Prince Azure admired the collection of antiques, a young girl was caught on the grounds of the Palace and brought to the Armory for questioning. Kaffee, Azure’s valet, alerted the Prince of the strange girl’s arrival, prompting the Prince to leave Brunette/Braun and go and question the girl. Refusing to answer any questions as to why she was on the grounds, Azure left the girl under the watch of some palace guards. When the guards began to make inappropriate comments toward her, Queen Azure stepped in and ordered the guards to leave the girl in her keep. The Queen asked the girl her name, to which the girl responded that her name was Greenlee. Meanwhile, Prince Azure confessed to Mr. Kaffee that one of the guns in Braun’s collection resembled one that had been stolen from the Azure’s collection some time before. After doing some research on his father’s antique collection, Azure had Kaffee prepare suites for not only Braun, but also for young Greenlee. Queen Azure expressed her disapproval of having the guests stay over night. Later, Queen Azure’s fear grew when she discovered that Greenlee was lying about her identity. In the Armory, Brunette congratulated Greenlee, who was actually former child actress, Mindy Mint, on her performance and reassured her that he would reward her once he found what he had come to the palace looking for. Once Brunette secured access to the dungeons below the palace, he followed a map to what he thought was the cell where the treasure was hidden. Brunette soon discovered the cell did not house the illusive treasure he had been searching for, but instead he found a mysterious woman lying in a hospital bed. At the same time, Mindy found her back against a wall, and in an act of desperation, knocked Queen Azure unconscious to try and escape. Moments later, the Prince was horrified when he found the Queen, unconscious in Mindy’s suite. Mindy in the meantime, fled to Brunette’s suite not knowing that Brunette had gone to the dungeons. While searching the dungeon for the treasure, Brunette discovered Pearl Ivory, who had been brutally attacked on the night of the Prince’s coronation some years before. Ivory had been kept alive by whom she believed to be the Prince himself. Brunette continued his search for the treasure with Ivory’s help, and he was delighted when he found the treasure—a huge lavender-colored jewel—hidden in the wall of one of the dungeon’s prison cells. But Brunette’s joy in having found the illusive treasure was short lived when he and Ivory realized that they were not the only ones who had found the treasure. A gun-toting Baron Arthur Bronze cornered Ivory and Brunette in the cell, but Brunette, knowing Bronze’s weakness when it came to using a firearm, distracted Bronze long enough for them to make an escape. The two were later reunited with Mindy Min and as Mint and Ivory made their way over the high palace fence, Brunette fought off approaching palace guards. In the street outside the palace, Ivory and Mint were picked up by a passerby, while Brunette ran for his life from the guards on the grounds of the palace. Eventually, Brunette found himself in the kitchen of the palace, where he was forced to murder the palace chef. Meanwhile, Mindy and Pearl were stunned when they discovered that the person who so generously gave them a ride to safety was the Ambassador to Angola from the United States, Channing Steele. Shortly before shooting the chef, Brunette had discovered that one of the guns he had purchased from Colonel Michael Mustard was actually stolen from the Azure’s private collection. Once Brunette was a safe distance from the palace, he placed a call to Colonel Mustard who was in Cancun with Darcy Puce and his infant nephew. When Brunette confronted Mustard on the selling of the stolen Spur Trigger Revolver, Mustard realized it would only be a matter of time before Brunette would find him and enact his revenge for what Brunette considered a set up. Mustard sent Darcy Puce out for the night and set up a meeting to make sure his nephew would be out of the way if Brunette was to ever find them.

ENVY

Michael Mustard’s relationship with the late Dr. Hugh Black started out famously. While both men were students at Oxford University they both fell for the same lovely young coed. The handsome and wealthy Hugh won the girl’s affection, leaving Mustard angry and jealous. Not being able to deal with seeing Hugh with the girl of his dreams, Mustard dropped out of Oxford and joined the British Army, his relationship with Hugh deeply severed. Once Mustard retired from the Army, he decided to write his memoirs and received several advanced payments from a publisher. But Mustard squandered the money and turned to his old friend Hugh for help. Hugh, happy to have his old college buddy back in his life, agreed to giving Mustard the money required to get his memoirs published, not knowing that Mustard still carried around years’ worth of jealously towards his old friend. Mustard basically took the money Black gave him as payment for Hugh taking his girl, all the while still looking for the next get-rich-quick scheme. To keep up with his lavish living, Mustard took up lying, cheating and stealing, even going as far as stealing antique firearms from the Royal House of Angola, Africa. One of these stolen antiques Mustard sold to Alphonse Brunette, who under the disguise of Herr Wilhelm Braun, unwittingly tried to resell to its rightful owner, the Prince of Angola. When Brunette threatened Mustard, Mustard realized he had to keep his great-nephew safe at all costs. So while in Cancun, Mexico, Colonel Mustard sold the child to a young woman for $500,000. After the young woman left with the baby, Mustard went through a bag she had left behind and discovered an article clipped from the society page of a California newspaper. The clipping was an announcement of the upcoming birth of baby to a wealthy family from California. Mustard recognized a woman from the article as being the same woman he had bitter rivalry with Hugh Black over in their college days. Recalling some volatile moments with Hugh and the young woman, Mustard decided to call his lost love to try and reconnect with her. The woman, Kendal Forrest Winters, immediately hung up when she heard Mustard’s voice. Mustard, defeated, left a note and $60,000 for Darcy Puce as payment for her taking care of his great-nephew. Darcy was unaware that he had sold the baby to the daughter-in-law of Kendal Forrest Winters. Michael took the money he got for selling his nephew and left Cancun, but not before running into Argent Silver in the lobby of the resort. Mrs. Silver and her daughter, Heather Grey had traveled to Cancun on holiday.
