will_sonny | SPOILERS: In-depth Recap/Transcript for Wednesday

EDIT: Added missing scenes!

Sami is at the town square with two cups of coffee. [she looks like a school girl…] Will shows up.

Sami: Hey, hey. Thanks so much for meeting me.

Will: Yeah. I only got a few minutes, so… what do you want?

Sami: Well I, I picked a place that was an easy commute for you, right? Is that, um, your window over there? Must be really cool to have a view of this place, I would love to see it from your window some time… okay, uh… I- I would really like to talk to you. I got you coffee.

Will and Sami sit down at a table.

Sami: You know I’ve been really, um, distracted, you know, being so upset about what’s happened with Rafe that I… haven’t had a chance to um, focus on you lately. How are you?

Will: I’m great.

Sami: I know how you feel, um, you know, walking in on me and EJ and…

Will: Oh yeah, um… I don’t want to talk about that.

Sami: Okay, that’s okay. Um… How’s- How’s school? How’s your job? You still miss… Gabi a lot.

Will: Yeah.

Sami: I know something else is going on with you.

Will: What? Did grandma say something?

Sami: Nothing. But I have always told you that you can tell me anything, right? That’s still true. Come on, just talk to me.

Sami: I’m glad that you can talk to my mom, right and… I just wish you could talk to me too.

Will: Well, you don’t make it easy.

Sami: I know. I don’t know, you’ve had the weirdest life because of me and because I had you when I was so young.

Will: Yeah, no. Let’s not get into that, please.

Sami: I spent most of last night thinking of all the things that I could’ve and should’ve done differently with you… better… How many times I thought Kate was going to take you away from me

Will: Then why did you go to work for her?

Sami: So what I’m trying to say is that I know that a lot of the time I held on too tightly, and that at other times my life was a mess and I expected you to grow up too quickly. And that we’ve had tears and screaming fights, and anger and silence, and times you couldn’t even live here because of me. But we got past all that, right?

Will: Yeah.

Sami: And I think we can get past this too. And I’m afraid if you go too long without to me, you’ll forget how. I know you’re furious with me for what happened with Rafe, and I am furious with myself. I might not get him back. But you’re my son, and Will Horton, I am not going to lose you too. I just want to be your mom again.

Will: You know, um, the past six months all of our conversations have been about you? So why the sudden interest?

Sami: I know how you feel.

Will: No, you don’t.

Sami: Will, I was younger than you are now when I walked in on my Mom and John. I know what it feels like to carry around your mom’s dirty little secret. I know the anger, frustration, the rage that you must feel. I know you think you hate me right now.

Will: Yeah, pretty much.

Sami: And you feel like your mom thinks that your problems, your life aren’t important. Well that stops, right now. You’re dealing with something that has nothing to do with me. And you felt entirely alone. And I don’t blame you if you don’t want to talk to me about it, but if you do, I promise you, that I will help you in any way that I can. I will listen, I will have your back. But I now I’ve been that kind of mom in the past and I know I can do it again if you just give me a chance.

Will: I am, uh… kinda messed up.

Sami: Messed up how?

Will: I’m confused. I have these feelings that I can’t get rid of. Basically my life kind of sucks right now.

*
Sami: So your life sucks… how?

Will: You know that feeling when, um, you’re like driving, and you’re going down this really steep hill and then your brakes give out. Yeah, it’s kinda- it’s kinda like that.

Sami: That must be scary. But you know what, you can handle it. Whatever life is throwing at you right now, you are so strong. I know you can get through anything. I totally believe in you. You’re strong like you’re dad, luckily, you didn’t get that from me- Oh, I’m sorry, Will, I didn’t mean to interrupt you keep going.

Sami holds Will’s hand.

Will: No that’s okay, I…. I mean I don’t… know what else to say.

Sami: Okay, that’ okay too. Whatever you need. I just - I just want you to know that I’m here if you ever want to talk.

Will: Thank you.

Sami: Honestly it was a little hard to know that you could talk to my mom and not me. But I’m sure she wasn’t surprised… In fact, I’m sure everyone is used to it. “Something’s going on with Will but I’m sure it’s Sami’s fault.”

Will pulls his hand away.

Sami: What? You know what I mean, it’s just that everyone was-

Will: Yeah I know. This- this little talk that you wanted to have, uh, it’s not about me, is it? It’s not about helping me. It’s about you, right? It’s always about you.

Will stands up and tries to leave.

Sami: Will! No wait! Will! Come on, come on! Please don’t go!

Will: You wanted to talk, we talked.

Sami: I- I didn’t mean it the way that it sounded, I- I really didn’t.

Will: Oh I know Mom, you can’t help yourself. All you care about is you and what other people think of you.

Sami: Will, I have to care about what other people think of me. I’m always aware of the fact that the Dimeras could swoop in and try to take my kids away from me.

Will: Were you thinking about that when you were tearing EJ’s clothes off? Did you think about your kids then, or… did you think about Rafe, for one second?

Sami: I wasn’t thinking straight. I was… thinking about Johnny, thinking he was dead.

Will: Yeah, I know. We covered that. You know you said that I’m like Dad and I… I hope to God that you’re right.

Will turns to leave.

Sami: Will, wait. There’s something else going on with you. And we were just starting to make some progress. Can’t we just forget about the stupid thing I said, rewind, go back, and keep talking.

Will: No. You know, I’m- I’m glad that you reminded me of why we don’t talk. ‘Cause I will never trust you with anything again.

You know, you’re always worrying about how you have to take care of yourself, because no one else will take care of you. Do you ever think it’s because you don’t give your mother a chance? Good luck going it alone.

Sami: Will. I love you.

Will: You know I almost feel sorry for you. You want so bad to look like the perfect mother and the perfect wife, and that’s why you screw everything up because you have no energy left over to actually do it. At least you have your job though. Good luck. See you around.

Will leaves.

Sami: Will! Will come on!

Will is walking around the town square alone. He has a flash back to his conversation with Sonny. He accidently bumps into Ian McAllister.

Ian: Oh, I’m so sorry-

Will: I’m sorry-

Ian: Oh, you’re William Horton, aren’t you?

Will: Yeah, how do- how do you know my name?

[Ha ha Kate found out Sami’s a mole and now she’s telling her that “someone” betrayed her and she needs her help to figure out who. She’s squirming!]

Will: Uh... I’m sorry I- I don’t believe that I caught your name.

Ian: Well you didn’t. Don’t worry. You and I will get to know each other quite well in the not too distant future.

Ian walks off. Will’s face is “wtf?”

Sami is back at town square by herself.

Sami: Oh god what am I going to do?

Sami dials her cellphone.

Sami: Hey. Look I’m sorry, I hope I didn’t wake you up at some ungodly hour, I just… Everything’s falling apart here and I- I didn’t know who else to call.

LUCAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lucas: Sami, what’s wrong this time?
