Episode 11-28-07 Part 1/4 Olivia's Diagnosis
My Life
Olivia is passed out on the floor in a room at the Beacon. Natalia rouses her. Olivia immediately asks where is Phillip. Natalia explains that she found her on the floor and no one else was in the room. Olivia figures out that she was hit over the head. Natalia finds a note from Ava that says she took Emma to the library. Natalia takes Olivia to get her head checked out at the hospital. Rick looks over her wound. They discuss Phillip and how she wound up on the floor. Olivia doesn't remember, but she fears Phillip is after Emma. Rick promises to help her if Phillip comes after her.
After an extremely long wait at the hospital, Olivia runs into Beth, who's there visiting Rick. They discuss what happened to Olivia and Olivia learns that Beth also received a present for her baby from Phillip. She hasn't told Rick or anyone else about it because she feels a present is harmless. Beth wants to believe that Phillip may have mellowed after all the years he's been gone, but Olivia thinks Beth ought to know better than that.
Back at the Beacon, Olivia beefs up security. She asks one of her guards for a gun. He hands her a number for someone who can get her a weapon quickly. Ava and Emma return from the library. Rick calls Olivia back to the hospital to go over her test results. On the way to the hospital, she runs into Gus on Main Street. Natalia has told him about the incident. He's interested to know exactly what happened. After she tells him, she says she doesn't even trust Rick. Gus tells her that Rick's motives are not in question. He asks her to call him once she knows her results.
At the hospital, Rick tells her that she fainted. She had a splinter in her skin. He thinks she may have hit a coffee table on the way down. He wants to run more tests and send her to a heart specialist. Olivia waits around in the hospital for Dr. Lang to see her. After an examination by Dr. Lang, she learns that she might have an advanced case of dilated cardiomyopathy. He wants to medicate her to alleviate the stress on her heart. Olivia finds it hard to believe that she has a weak heart and never knew it. Dr. Lang explains it's a condition that manifests itself over time, but she is at risk for heart failure. The only cure is a heart transplant. Olivia nods with a blank stare as the gravity of the news sinks in.
Olivia loses the number of the gun dealer and after a meeting with her Beacon staff, she meets with Mel regarding guardianship of Emma. Mel advises her that if she has no guardian, Phillip can take custody of her. Mel suggests she draw up paperwork to make Bill her guardian.
Olivia meets with Bill Lewis. Bill keeps promising to spend more time with Emma. In conversation she learns that Bill kicked Billy out of his own company. Bill thought Olivia would be proud. Instead she's shocked at what kind of man he has become.
On Main Street, she runs into Buzz handing out campaign literature. After he gives a button to a little girl, Olivia remembers how good he was with Emma. She goes to see Ava who glows with joy over her day with Emma. She sees some sort of look on Olivia's face. Olivia makes comments about youth and enjoying life, letting nothing weigh her down. Ava is confused by where all the talk comes from, but Olivia doesn't tell her about her condition.
Back on Main Street, she sees a flyer that says, "Talk to God. He listens." She talks to God. She tells Him that she's never asked Him for a damn thing and she never will. She thinks that He owes her one. If He's going to give her two daughters and then rob her of a future with them, then she asks for one thing in return. She asks for forgiveness for what she is about to do.
Olivia marches into Alan's parlor. She tells him that she will break up Gus and Natalia with no questions asked. In return he must always keep Emma from Phillip in case she isn't there to do it herself. He swears to keep Emma safe. Satisfied, Olivia leaves as Alan is still asking her about Gus.
Back at the Beacon, she talks to Emma while the child sleeps. She asks her not to listen to anything people will say about her mother in the future. If she does, then she'll never know how much she brought to her mother's life. Gus comes to the door as she tells the sleeping girl about all the wonderful things she has done for Olivia, all the joy she brought her. She sobs on the child, telling her how much she'll miss her. Gus comes to Olivia. She holds onto him and sobs.
