#### We need to talk about Lawrence

> [Lily walks to the tower to find Regina and Whitney]**Lily**Girls! How are you after the whole temple...situation?**Regina**A lot better! Amazing what a shower, some sleep, and a hearty breakfast can do**Whitney**I didn't get much sleep. I was preoccupied thinking about Mr. Lawrence--**Lily**Did you figure him out? I mean, he may be an impostor, but a lot of what he said turned out to be right.**Whitney**I'm sure he got the information from that book of his. The history of the Order, the clocktower, the Temple, all of it.**Lily**Okay...but where did he get the book from??**Whitney**Same as the lapel pin: he stole it from the mansion!
> Remember when we first checked out the mansion? The safe was broken into and empty!**Lily**Yeah...but that break-in must've happened years ago. That doesn't make sense...**Whitney**You're right. That's where I got stuck last night as well. But I WILL figure it out!
> We're going to catch that guy and get the truth out of him!**Lily**Uhm...sure. But not today. I have to be at the trial in two hours.
> Theres one thing I'd like to do before I leave for court, though.
> Before it gets buried under a golf course, I'd like to see the Grand Temple.

#### At least you were together!

> [Lily, Regina, and Whitney arrive at the Temple]**Regina**I'm not going down there again.**Whitney**I understand. Why don't you operate the mechanism while Lily and I take another look inside? Give us five minutes[Regina walks to the clock tower]

*A little while later*

> [The stairs retract to reveal the path to the temple. Lily and Whitney enter. The entrance closes.]**Lily**Ugh. It must've been so scary to be trapped down here in complete darkness**Whitney**Yeah... We used our phones as flashlights. And when our batteries went dead, we held hands so we wouldn't lose each other.**Lily**At least you were together! I'm so glad about that!
> Uhm...this looks rather... plain. Not like a place where the "elements convene in perfect harmony"...or whatever.**Whitney**Not at all. Looks like they never fully completed it.

> **Lily**Hey, what's this?**Whitney**I guess that's what the FINISHED Temple was supposed to look like.**Lily**1924... Maybe they stopped construction when Giovanni was killed?**Whitney**The timing would be about right--do you mind if we get out of here now? I'm starting to feel a little claustrophobic...[Lily and Whitney meet Regina at the clock tower]**Regina**Girls! I think I see a windmill over there! Wanna go check it out?[Camera pans to show windmill area]**Lily**Sure. I could do with a little exploring to clear my head... Let's go!

#### Clear path

> **Lily**Every time I think I've figured this place out, we stumble upon something new.**Whitney**We should have a look at the land records at some point to see how far your aunt's estate actually goes.**Regina**Now, THERE'S an idea.**Lily**All right, ladies. Combined effort with these weeds?**Whitney**Weeds? I guess Regina's out... But I'll help you.

*Some clearing later...*

> **Lily**Beautiful job! You okay there, Regina?**Regina**Never been happier...the fresh air, the morning sun, the jolly company...**Lily**Did you just say "jolly"? What happened? Did you lose your sarcasm in the Temple?**Regina**Hah! You wish!**Lily**Actually, I don't. I love you just the way you are!
> But now...I need to get going...
> Hmmm. Maybe just a couple more weeds to see what kinda place this is...?

#### Clear weeds (left)

> **Lily**You keep soaking up the sun, Regina! We've got this!

*A whole bunch of removed weeds later...*

> **Lily**Good work, Whit!
> I still don't get what Mr. Lawrence thought he'd gain from finding the Temple...**Whitney**He must've believed there was something valuable in there.**Regina**What, like some kind of treasure? Money?**Whitney**Or maybe books, papers, information on the Order.**Regina**Hah. He would've been sorely disappointed.**Lily**Indeed. Nothing down there but dust.**Whitney**Dust and darkness.**Regina**Can we talk about something else? Just thinking about it makes my skin crawl...**Lily**Sorry Regina. I'll shut up about the Temple now.**Regina**Thanks, Lils. I just need some time to deal with that... experience.

#### Clear weeds (right)

> **Lily**(to Whitney) She looks so happy and peaceful. Let's do this one without her...

*While Regina takes a break...*

> **Lily**All weeds gone--you can open your eyes, Regina!**Regina**Hmmm. Such a beautiful day...**Whitney**So...are you ready for court?**Lily**Dunno. Not even sure what exactly is gonna happen today. Opening statements, I guess.
> I'm not even sure if Mr. Rich is gonna be there. Since he's not technically the plaintiff.
> But Philip and Sam will be right by my side, no matter what.**Regina**How do you feel about the whole thing?**Lily**Nervous. I've never even been inside a courthouse before.**Whitney**Oh, Lily! They're FASCINATING places!**Lily**Fascinating my butt. Right now, I'd rather be in Philadelphia...**Whitney**Oooh, another amazing place! I really enjoyed Philly when I was interning at Independence Hall--
> We should take a TRIP there some day!!**Lily**Let's get through this trial first? Once I've lost my home, we can start planning a city break...[scene break]**Lily**Ugh. Is it really this late? I have to run!**Whitney**I'm gonna tag along, if you don't mind? Not gonna miss out on an actual day of hearing.**Lily**Sure. Regina? D'you wanna come as well?**Regina**Nah, I'm gonna stay here with Roxy, check up on the horses. I need normal and comforting right now...**Lily**I get that. We'll see you later then!**Regina**Good luck girl! You've got this!

#### Unto the breach!

> [in front of the courthouse]**Samir**Lily, Whitney, there you are! We nearly went in without you.**Lily**Sorry, sorry, sorry we're late!**Whitney**For a reason! We found the Grand Temple yesterday and--**Philip**Ah! It's been a while since I last walked up these stairs...
> Hmm. Makes me feel young again. Like I can takes on the whole world--**Samir**Nevermind that now. Come along. The judge won't be amused if we're late.**Lily**All right! I'm ready! Do you think Leonard will be there?**Philip**Pshaw! He doesn't have the guts to face me!
> Ahem. Very well my dear friends. Once more unto the breach!

*A surprisingly short time later*

> **Philip**What happened in there? I expected this to go in a very different direction...**Samir**You did the best you could, Philip. This case was lost long before we got here.**Lily**At least Mr. Rich didn't show his smug face...**Samir**It wouldn't have mattered. The best we can do now is to see this through with dignity.
> We'll talk before we reconvene here in three days.**Lily**Sure...three days. Thank you both so much! We're gonna head home...**Whitney**Actually, I have to run some errands. I'll be back at the estate in the afternoon. See you then!**Lily**Sure...[Lily returns to the estate]

#### Plant field #1

> **Regina**Hey, Lils! That was quick...**Lily**Yeah...**Regina**Where's Whitney?**Lily**She said she had to run some errands. i didn't ask...**Regina**Probably for the best...
> Anyway--how did it go?**Lily**Let's plant some stuff before we talk about it. I need to calm my nerves.**Regina**Sure...Just tell me what you'd like here...**Lily**Hmm. What's the opposite of stuff, brownish courtroom flair?

*Player selects an option*

> **Lily**Ah! That feels good!**Regina**Looks good, too!
> So...are you gonna tell me about the trial?**Lily**Sure. Can we keep planting while I do?

#### Plant field #2

> **Lily**Compared to the clocktower, the maze, and the games garden, this place looks so...normal.**Regina**It does. Let's plant some perfectly ordinary flowers. Or veggies. Or whatever you like!

*Player selects an option*

> **Lily**Commontastic! Banalicious!
> Ugh. What am I doing...**Regina**What happened in that courtroom, Lily?**Lily**Kinda what we expected. The facts are undeniable. Aunt Mary is guilty as charged.
> Your grandfather surprised me though...**Regina**Uh oh...**Lily**No, in a good way. His opening statement was basically a love letter to Aunt Mary.
> Not that it'll change anything. The big shot lawyers made that very clear.
> But the way he talked about Aunt Mary and her love for the estate...
> Your grandfather is a very sweet man... \*siiigh\***Regina**No time for tears, Lils. Not while the sun's out and we're a-plantin'!

#### Plant field #3

> **Regina**Same plants as over there? Or d'you wanna mix it up a little?**Lily**Hmm, let's see...

*Player selects an option*

> **Regina**Beautiful, Lils!**Lily**Yeah... Won't be beautiful for long...
> The next court date is in three days. And that'll only bring us closer to losing the estate**Regina**I'm so sorry, Lils. But you did everything you could to save the gardens.**Lily**I know.**Regina**And the sky will still be blue tomorrow.**Lily**I love new optimistic Regina!**Regina**Haha... Don't tell anyone. Don't wanna ruin my reputation...

#### Plant field #4

> **Regina**Can you believe how beautiful this day is?**Lily**Hmm?**Regina**Let's keep planting! This place is gonna be so purdy!

*Player selects an option*

> **Regina**Gorgeous...licious... Or something...**Lily**Uh huh.**Regina**Lils? What bugging you?**Lily**It's just...I've kinda accepted I'll be losing the garden.
> What I only just realized today is...Aunt Mary's gonna lose her good reputation
> Because...no matter her reasons, she DID cheat the state out of a large sum of money.
> She will forever be remembered as a criminal.**Regina**Oh Lily! I didn't even think of that! That's terrible!

#### Plant field #5

> **Regina**Is there a way we can defend Aunt Mary's good name?**Lily**I wouldn't know how...
>  Right now I feel like I'm on autopilot, planting away 'cause it's the only thing left to do...**Regina**It has always helped get you in a zen state of mind...

*Player selects an option*

> **Lily**I feel a bit calmer, but that won't help Aunt Mary.
> I know that she's guilty. Tax evasion is a crime.
>  But...she must've had a good reason to do what she did...**Regina**Well...maybe...she needed money...?
> Even though...with all the royalties and the LaRosa family money... Nah.**Lily**She was a good person, Regina. A moral person. She was loving and caring and helped so many people.
> However it happened, she does not deserve to have her name tainted for all eternity.
> But it looks like there's nothing I can do about it.[scene break]**Regina**Lils...shouldn't we be packing our stuff and find a new place to live?**Lily**And figure out how to protect Aunt Mary's name**Regina**Exactly. But weeding and planting won't help us with either of those things!**Lily**True. but it'll keep my head from explodng.
> Let's do something fun!
> Let's build a scarecrow!

#### Build scarecrow

> **Lily**Last scarecrow I built looked a lot like Larry...**Regina**Right! I remember! Let's see if we can top that...

*Player selects an option*

> **Lily**Hahaaa! I love it--
> But... It doesn't really solve ANYthing...**Regina**Maybe it's time to stop SOLVING things... and to start TAKING CARE of yourself.**Lily**Huh? What do you mean?**Regina**Self-care, Lils. Delicious food, a hot bath, a good book...
> When I was selling the house, I read every nigh. Helped me escape into a different world.
> I reread all the Agent Nightingale novels in a matter of days.**Lily**Hmm... Nightingale... Right.**Regina**Lily Roberts! Have you STILL NOT read your aunt's books?**Lily**Uhm...I started the first one, but then there was the garden...and Mr. Rich...and the Temple...**Regina**There'll always be SOMEthing, YOU have to set your priorities, Lils.**Lily**How bout you TELL me about Agent Nightingale... while we fix that path and the fence?

#### Fix up path

> **Lily**Path first, then some more about Agent Nightingale?**Regina**Deal!

*Player selects an option*

> **Lily**Definitely on the right path here!
> So...Nightingale... What would she do if she were in my position?**Regina**Hah. First of all, she's far too careful to get caught in the legal system.
> I guess the question is...what would YOU do, if you thought more like HER?**Lily**Huh. I dunno, what's she like?**Regina**She's AWESOME! Strong, intelligent, loyal. And extremely woke for her time.**Lily**Wow. Sounds great.**Regina**Actually, in a weird way the two of you are not all that different...**Lily**Right. Now I just need to learn how to fly a plane and become an international superspy...

#### Repair fence

> **Lily**What are we gonna do about this fence?**Regina**Some real carpentry magic. Step back.

*Player selects an option*

> **Lily**Definitely NOT on the fence about this one!
> I was just thinking... Once the estate is gone, the Nightingale novels will be all that's left of Aunt Mary...**Regina**Well, they ARE a great part of her legacy.**Lily**I still find it odd: how does a Californian housewife come to write SPY novels??**Regina**Cause she was friggin good at it!**Lily**Yeah, but HOW? Where did that come from?**Regina**Guess we all have out hidden talents.
> I mean look at you, miss accountant-turned-gardener-turned-temple hunter!**Lily**Haha, that's true
> How the HECK did that happen...?[Whitney approaches]**Whitney**Hey ladies!**Regina**Whit! youre back!**Lily**What is all that stuff?**Whitney**I went shopping!

#### What did you buy, Whit?

> **Regina**What in the heck did you buy, Whit?**Whitney**Glad you asked!

[ill get a picture later]

> **Whitney**I got a detector to see if Mr. Lawrence hid any more bugs around here.
> Cause I'm positive he placed one in my hotel room AND the camera above the mansion door!**Lily**Okay... Uhm, and the handcuffs?**Whitney**Just if he resists.**Lily**Right... And...this here?**Whitney**Ah! That's my new taser. Just in case.**Regina**Woah. Youre just like Agent Nightingale! Awesome!**Whitney**Equipped like a spy to hunt down a spy! Cause I'm sure that's what he his: a SPY!
> And now excuse me. I'm off to scan for bugs.[Whitney walks away]**Regina**You do you, Whitney Wells... While we keep fixing this place up.

#### Fix up path

> **Lily**Ready to tackle the last bit of this path?**Regina**I was born ready!

*Player selects an option*

> **Regina**Path...etic? Heehee...**Lily**You're in a good mood today...?**Regina**Yeah... I'm just happy to be out in the sun...with you...and Whit...
> 24 hours trapped in the dark give you a whole new outlook on life...
> Ugh. Until I start thinking 'bout having to leave here...
> This place has become my home. I love living here. In the garden...close to you...and Whitney...
> You guys are the best friends a girl could ever ask for.
> Hey! How bout we turn that old signpost into a monument to our friendship?**Lily**Sure?

#### Repair signpost

> **Lily**So...how do you see this rotten post relate to our friendship??
> All I see is three signs pointing in different directions--are we breaking up??**Regina**NO! I was thinkin': even if life tears us apart, we will always have each other to come home to?**Lily**That's...poetic... Who are you and what have you done to Regina Jones??

*Player selects an option*

> **Regina**Beautiful! Just like the bond between us...**Lily**Regina...I don't wanna dampen your mood... But where are you gonna go after the trial?**Regina**I'm sure I can live with Grandpa until I find something new. What are you gonna do?**Lily**I think I'll find a place in the city. Start over.**Regina**Uhm...I don't mean to meddle but... Couldn't you stay with Luke for a while?**Lily**Yeah...no. I couldn't stand watching bulldozers level the estate...**Regina**So...are you just gonna leave Luke behind? For good?**Lily**I...I don't know...

#### Repair gates

> **Regina**Gimme a hand with the gates?**Lily**Sure thing!

*Player selects an option*

> **Lily**Gatetastic! Don't you think?
> Regina? Don't you--**Regina**She's quite something...Whitney... Right?**Lily**She sure is.**Regina**Down there in the Temple, she was amazing. She held me hand and calmed me down...
> Without her, I'm sure I would've gone mad.**Lily**She's pretty great. Glad you guys got it together after a rough start...**Regina**Haha. Yeah...so weird to think we didn't like each other at first!
> I found her SO annoying! And now she's like...my favorite spy girl!**Lily**Haha! Spy girl indeed. Think she's gonna find any bugs with that thingamajig?**Regina**Nah. But she's gonna have a blast scanning the whole estate![The scene turns to night, Whitney approaches]**Whitney**Hey, girls! It's getting too dark. I'll continue scanning tomorrow.
> Ready for dinner?**Regina**Sure. Lily? Wanna join us?**Lily**Nah. I'll head home. Guess it's time for some self care.**Regina**Good idea! Maybe part of that could be...I dunno, calling your neighbor and discussing a sublease?**Lily**Uhm...let's see... Good night girls![Lily walks away]**Regina**Never though I'd say that...but those two might need a push in the right direction...

#### I could do with a friend, Luke

> [Lily walks to the house]**Lily**Moving in with Luke would be a little premature... After all, we're just friends. Good friends.
> But... Wouldn't I ask a good friend if I could stay with them in a time of need?
> Ugh. I dunno... Either way, I miss him. I wanna hear his voice![Lily calls Luke]**Luke**Lily? One sec...
> Karen, if you wanna hold your cousin, you gotta sit down.
> All right... Don't forget to support his head... That's it!**Lily**Uhm...sounds like you're busy. Should I call back tomorrow?**Luke**Uhm... You could, but we're actually coming home tomorrow.**Lily**Oh, that's great!!
> I mean...I just... There's a lot going on, and I could really do with a friend.**Luke**I'll come by as soon as I'm home. And I wanna hear all about what's been happenin'.**Lily**Hmm, great! I can't wait! And now go and enjoy family time!**Luke**Will do. See you tomorrow![Call ends]**Lily**Good night...friend...

#### Start new day

> **Lily**Well, Miss Nightingale...
> Looks like it's just you and me tonight.
> You, me, and a nice bubble bath!
> Hmmm.

*A long bath and half a novel later*

> **Lily**Whoa! You go Nightingale!
> She is SO COOL!
> When I grow up, I wanna be like her...

*Some wine and another half novel later*

> **Lily**What an AMAZING story!!
> How did Aunt Mary come UP with that stuff??
> Too tired to figure this out right now...
> It'll have to wait till the morning...
> zzzZZZzzz...
