(NOTE: Originally, Chrysalis took the place of Avatar but Disney didn't like the episode so It was never made. This is not a summary because this episode was never made...just outlined.I made this script by myself with an outline the producers made that a friend gave me... read more about the Lost Episode here...)
(Images of snakes shedding skin, platypi emerging from eggs, and a chrysalis starting to shudder from the movement inside show...)
Jack: Metamorphasis is a way of life for some animals. Some even change into different things, like a worm to a butterfly...
(Cut to pictures and videos of the Phillips family...)
Jack: But metamorphasis isn't always reserved to the animal kingdom, is it?...
~~~~~~~~~~~~
(We open in a church at a recovery meeting for alcoholics.)
Molly: Thanks for letting me come... I can see it's a hassle with everyone here, and I have been over my addiction for awhile, but it was nice of you to let me come.
Mr. Pegg: Why wouldn't I let you, if you feel the need to come, why not? This is a caring community and anyone can come, weather you are drinking now, just stopped, or stopped ten years ago. If you ever want to come again, you're welcome to. I feel better that I know I helped someone.
(Molly smiles at him)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(At the Phillip's house, Jack is on the phone with Fi, who's in New York)
Fi: I've been hearing these grunting noises in the drain here... I think there might be a polturegeuist!
Jack: Can't you just take a break from the weird stuff and have a normal week?
Fi: Do you know what you're asking me?
Jack:... I miss you, see you soon.
Fi: You too.
(Jack hangs up as someone knocks on the door. He answers it.)
Carey: Hey! Haven't seen you in a while. I wanted to know if you'd like to go with me to see an old frat brother at the college I used to go to.
Jack: That'd be awesome, I just gotta ask my mom...
( Jack and Carey enter the other room where they find Molly hard at work on a song.)
Jack: Mom... Carey wants me to go with him to see his friend. It's at his old college, can I go?
Molly: No.
Jack: But mom! Come on... It'll give me a taste of college life! I'll listen to what Carey says and everything will be fine.
Molly: ... Ok, but be careful!
Jack: Don't worry.
(He and Carey leave. Molly watches them leave, sadly)
Irene: What's wrong?
Molly: Nothing, It's just... Jack and Fi are getting older, and I get the feeling they don't want to talk to me anymore, and they're telling me less and less and...
Irene: Molly, slow down!
(She laughs)
Irene: Think of the things we did when we were teenagers... Now, do you really think secrets are a bad thing?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(At Carey's old College)
Jack: Wow... It's like, no parents, no rules, you can do whatever you want! Why did you give this all up? I wouldn't.
Carey: Believe me, It's not as great as it seems.
Jack: Sure it isn't.
(Jack is following Carey when he stops at a door and knocks on it. A guy about 21 opens the door.)
Drew: Carey! Haven't seen you in awhile!
Carey: How's it been Drew?
Drew: Not the same without you around, of course. Come inside!
(Carey and Jack enter and sit down on a couch)
Carey: It's been weird without you too... Speaking of without, when did you get that tan? Last time I saw you, you were white, and now...
Drew: I just got back from Brazil with some friends. It's awesome there, you gotta check it out... Who's your friend?
Jack: My name's Jack...
Carey: Me and my parents are his mom's roadies... he's cool.
Drew: Nice to meet you, Jack.
(He shakes Jack's hand)
Drew: And speaking of Jack, there was a type of Jack rabbit down in Brazil, you've got to see it to believe it! It had like, 3 legs and was missing an eye! And then there was this frog and he...
(10 minutes later...)
Carey: Sounds fun...
Drew: It was... Well Jack, since you haven't been here before, let me show you around.
(He points to different places in his room and expresses what he does there.)
Carey: You've still got the place set up, man... just like always.
Drew: Yep. Well, you guys have to stay for dinner! I know you Carey, you can't go home on an empty stomach...remember last time?
Carey: yes I do, and that's a good idea. What do you say Jack?
Jack: I dunno... My mom won't like it.
Carey: Oh, don't worry. Drew can talk his way out of , or into, anything... he has...charm. Let's let him handle this.
( Drew calls up Molly and asks if Jack can stay. She says yes)
Drew: All set!
Jack: You're awesome!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(Back at home, Molly seems sad with both of her kids away... She goes into Fi's room and starts cleaning things, and looking at Fi's photos and strange stuff. She sits down by Fi's laptop and turns it on.)
Molly: I did it? ha... Ok, How do I turn on e-mail?... There we go...
(Molly is looking through the different senders when she notices one for her...)
Molly: Rebecca?
(Irene walks into the room)
Irene: What's up?
Molly: Whoa! don't scare me like that! Oh, the boys are staying over at Drew's for dinner, I thought it would be ok with you so I said they could.
Irene: Drew's a great guy... So, why are you spying on her daughter?
Molly: I'm not! But look at this...
(Molly shows her the email)
Irene: You mean, Rebecca, the friend that disappeared on you? The one you wrote that song about?
Molly: I'm pretty sure.
(Molly clicks the email open)
Rebecca: Molly, I know it's been a long time... But I wanted to talk to you. I've been tracking you for a while, I go to all of your shows, and I miss you. I know I left soon, but I had to, and I hope you'll understand when I ell you I can't say anything else. My life's going good, if you care... Write back? Love, Rebecca.
( Irene stares at her)
Irene: Are you going to email her back?
Molly: Why not?
Irene: Well what are you going to say to someone who hurt you like that?
Molly: I guess I'd start with ouch...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(At Drew's Room)
Jack: That was good Drew... you like to cook?
Drew: Nah... I guess I'm just good at it. You guys wanna see somethin'?
Carey: Sure...
(Drew gets up a goes to a cabinet...He pulls out a bottle of strange tequila.)
Jack: ... are you going to drink that? There's a worm in there...or something.
Drew: Why not? You want some?
Carey: No thanks...
Jack: Sorry.
Drew: Suit yourself...
(Jack gives Carey a look that says "What are we doing here"? Soon, Drew is drunk, and has one drink left. He offers it to Jack...)
Jack: Nah... I'm not...like that.
Drew: Suit yourself...again!
(He starts to laugh. He drinks it, worm and all)
Drew: ...that was weird.
Carey: We're leaving.
(He and Jack get up, and Drew does too.)
Drew: No! You can't go.
(He goes towards them but runs into a lamp. Him and the lamp fall. Jack looks back as Carey is helping Drew up, and he sees Drew's skin go through the colors of the rainbow. Jack blinks, and everyhing is normal again.)
Drew: You guys should stay... It's late!
Carey: It's 9 o' clock. We'll be fine. Be careful.
(Him and Jack go out the door.)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(In Fi's room)
(Molly is writing her reply back to Rebecca...)
Molly's email: Dear Rebecca,
(Jack walks in and looks upset.)
Jack: Mom... When I was at Drew's, after we ate, he drank some tequila, and he got drunk, then he fell into a lamp.. I didn't drink, I just wanted to tell you that I'm responsible, and...
Molly: I'm sorry you had to see that... You've never been around heavy drinkers before.
Jack: Actually mom... I have.
Molly: You remember that? It was years ago and I... I'm sorry you saw me like that, why haven't you come and talked to me about it? I think you would've been ready for experiences like this if you did.
Jack: I don't know mom... It's just, now I actually understand how it was like with you... and I'm kinda mad that you'd do that with yourself. And those meetings... why do you even go to them? It makes no sense..
Molly: Jack... It's not that easy...
(Jack gets up and leaves, angry.)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(Cut to Drew's room)
(He's moving and moaning on his couch, where he passed out... Another wave of color passes through him, and something is moving in his stomach...)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
( During Breakfast, At the Phillips house. Jack goes to answer the door.)
Jack: Hey, have you talked to Drew? How's he doing after last night?
Carey: He's sick. And that's what I wanted to talk to you about. I'm going over to his room today. You wanna come?
Jack: I dunno. I've got work...
Carey: Come on! He needs our help to get better...
Jack: Ok... but I've gotta ask my mom.
( Molly is walking throught the room)
Carey: Molly! Can Jack come with me to Drew's?
Molly: Sure, but be careful...and Jack...
Jack: I know.
( They leave and go to the frat house. They open the door and look around. There's food everywhere)
Jack: Look...
(He points to Drew laying on the couch, sick. He sees color go through him and something inside his stomach move.)
Drew: Uh... That stuff must've made me sick...
Carey: Maybe he's allergic to the stuff in that bottle or something...
Jack: Maybe... Let's go find it.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
( Molly is back in Fi's room... writing Rebecca a letter.)
Molly's email: Dear Rebecca,
I miss you too. I'm not really sure if that was you or not, back when I was first starting my tour. But it really hurt me when my daughter led me to your house, and you were nowhere to be found... Just like last time... Now that you emailed me, I feel like we're opening a connection, an old one that's been closed, and I just want to say I forgive you for leaving like that, I understand why you can't tell me... Here's something to how I've been... All the years we missed together, have been filled with many experiences, and here's a little piece of them... I love you, Molly
(Molly attaches Photos of her wedding, of Fi and Jack, her tour, everything to the email, and then presses send)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(Jack and carey are out back, looking for the bottle that Drew drank from...)
Carey: Do you remember what It looks like?
(Jack holds up the tequila bottle Drew drank from.)
Jack: Probably like this?
(Carey comes over and im and Jack try to read what the bottle's ingrediants are.)
Jack: I can't read this... It's portuguese or something...
Carey: Dead end... oh well, let's just go back inside...
Jack: wait a minute... I know what we can do!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(Jack and Carey are back inside.)
Jack: Drew... do you have a computer?
Drew: Yeah... It's right... over there.
(He points to the computer on the other side of the room. Jack goes over to it and searches Tequila Worm. He clicks on a website... On it, it has a story about a man who drank a tequila with a worm before and almost died. He also finds a hospital term for it. Teqorm.)
Jack: Oh man... You got a phone right?
Drew: I'm sorry, nope...
Carey: Here, use my cellphone...
(Jack calls up a local hospital.)
Jack: Excuse me... Could you tell me about Teqorm?
(Jack puts the cell onto speaker-phone so everyone can hear.)
Nurse: Yes... The symptoms of someone that has Teqorm is that you'll start to see something moving insdie their stomach... This usually happens when they drink a drink from Brazil, or Portugal.
Jack: What's wrong with the worm?
Nurse: I don't know... but when someone swallows one... They soon go crazy and run away... That happened before, and we found a patient in the woods, and it looked like he exploded. Everything was everywhere...
Jack: Thanks...that's all.
(Jack hangs up in a hurry.)
Drew: You guys can't let me die!
Carey: what do we do?
(Jack picks the phone back up and dials 911.)
Jack: Yes? My friend is in trouble. He's got something moving around in his stomach, we need help!
(Jack hangs up.)
Drew: No! You can't let me go to a hospital! I'm on probation and if they see I was drinking again, I'll be in major trouble!
(He tries to go through the window, but Carey stops him.)
Carey: Chill...
(Carey cuts off when he sees color ripple throw Drew...Drew's stomach gets huge, then grows smaller.)
Jack: Oh god!
Carey: What are we going to do...
Jack: Lay him down!
(Carey pulls Drew to the floor as Jack starts pushing whatever's moving in his stomach upwards to his mouth. Soon, his mouth starts to open, and a huge butterfly pops out. It flys around the room then flies out the window.)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(Molly is at home writing a song)
Molly's song: Origami - These nights I just can't sleep
These walls are paper thin
I just can't take the heat
Something's trying to get in
Hit me, hit me, hit me, hit me
I ain't obeying no more
The way I'm bound to break
Took me down to my car
That's all that I can take
(She hears the computer beep in the other room so she goes to see if it's Rebecca. It is)
Rebecca's email: Molly,
Thank you for forgiving me and just opening up like that... I miss you too, and I'm glad we've finally been able to talk again... I hope I can get a day where I can see you again... but I'm not so sure it'll happen soon. I love you too... Rebecca.
(Molly hears the phone ring in the other room so she goes to answer it.)
Molly: Hello?
Jack: hey, mom? Could you talk to someone for me? I think he needs your help.
Molly: Sure honey...
Jack: His name is Drew.. We're coming now...
Molly: See you then...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(At the Phillip's house...)
(Drew and Molly are meeting each other)
Carey: You always know how to do the right thing...
Jack: What can I say?
(Carey leaves as Jack watches Drew and Molly talk... He turns to leave them in privacy...)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(Two days Later)
Jack: So, how was your investigation with those pipes?
Fi: We opened them up... there was nothing there... And don't think I forgot!
Jack: Forgot what?
Fi: Come on! I see it on your finger... Give me the ring back!
(Note: Weird things happen to Annie when Fi gives her the ring...See???)
