SCEENE TWO
Late afternoon.

Shane is sitting on a couch at the psychologist’s office. The assistant had her come in.
Danielle enters. She is wearing a skirt suite with shirt. She looks fabulous and very professional. Shane notices that, but she is in a totally screwed up state of mind to feel desire.

Danielle: Hello. You must be Shane. Nice to meet you, I’m Danielle Waters. – They shake hands and Danielle takes a seat. Shane seats down on a white comfortable sofa, pointed at by Danielle. - So, what brings you here?
Shane hesitating: hum… I guess... I just … I need to figure out why I keep screwing up my relationships with everyone.
Danielle: What relationships do you mean?
Shane: God… That’s a long story.
Danielle: That’s why you’re here right? So get started, Shane.

Camera moves above Danielle’s head focusing on the framed photograph with the words: Know Yourself.

SCEENE THREE
Back at the Planet, after lunch, the girls are having coffee.
Helena is still catching up on current events with Kit and Jenny.

Jenny: Hey Helena. What about Annabelle? She’s meeting us here later on. You know, she is quite an amazing person, once you get to know her. And she is so beautiful… I really like her.
Jenny: That’s great, because I was actually thinking about casting her for a part on our series.
Kit: What? What’s going on you guys? What series are you talking about?
Helena: Oh! That’s right! I forgot to tell you! Me, Tina and Jenny decided to create our own production company.
Kit: Oh that’s great girl! But how about the Planet and SheBar? Are you going to be able to manage all of these businesses at the same time?
Helena: Oh! No… Actually Kit, I’ve been meaning to come to talk to you about this. I have all these businesses now, and the Peabody Foundation, and mother’s businesses to run. But I won’t be able to do all this at the same time so I decided to put the most capable people ahead of some of these businesses.
Kit: Oh…
Helena: I was kind of hoping that you would be able to take SheBar out of my hands, and … (Smiling at Kit) I had papers drawn to put the Planet entirely in your name.
Kit: What!?! Girl….. That’s amazing!!! (Hugs her) Oh! Bette is going to be so thrilled about this!!

SCEENE FIVE

At Danielle’s office.

Danielle: So, do you think that Jenny stopped caring for you because of what you and Nikki done?
Shane (in a low sad voice): I guess she is mostly hurt. And I did that to her. And God knows I’m sorry. I’m a screw up. And I surely don’t deserve her friendship. I swear I want to make up to her.
Danielle: Wouldn’t you say that this is a good way to start making emends with the past? Do you feel that you really want to change?
Shane (decidedly): I’m sure. That’s why I came here.
Danielle: That’s good. Very good. I guess we are out of time. Do you want to schedule another session?
Shane: Definitely.
Danielle: My assistant isn’t here past seven, but I’ll write this down. Next week?
Shane: No. can’t I come twice a week?
Danielle: Sure. I’ll have to be going. I have my opening at the CAC.
Shane: Oh! Is that you today? I’m going with Bette and Tina.
