FADE IN:
EXT. MANHATTAN SKYLINE - LATE AFTERNOON
An urban area is situated in Staten Island in the middle of New York City.
EXT. JFK AIRPORT - LATE AFTERNOON
A plane lands on the landing strip.
INT. JFK AIRPORT - LATE AFTERNOON
The gang touches down back in New York City. As soon as the baggage is checked, Charlie grabs her Birkins.
All of a sudden, Kasey clutches her stomach.
KASEY
Oh my…
JESSE
Look, we need to get her to the hospital!
CHARLIE
Let me guess...labor?
Leah and Ash then take Kasey. But first, Leah looks at everyone.
LEAH
We’re going to our car to take her.
JESSE
I’ll join you!
As soon as Jesse makes an attempt to follow them, Charlie grabs his arm.
CHARLIE
We have business to tend to first. Follow me. We’re going back to network headquarters.
Jesse shrugs.
EXT. NETWORK HEADQUARTERS PARKING LOT - LATE AFTERNOON
Once the two cars enter their respective spaces on the parking lot, Charlie and Jesse exit their respective cars.
Matt parks his car next to Jesse’s.
Holly gets out from the passenger’s side of Matt’s car as Matt exits from the driver’s side.
HOLLY
Sure is strange not to let the father of Kasey’s child be with her because of important business.
MATT
I wouldn’t worry too much about Meadows, honey. He’ll be under control.
HOLLY
I’ll take it from here.
Matt gives Holly a peck on the cheek and exits the scene.
INT. CONFERENCE ROOM - LATE AFTERNOON
Back in the conference room, Jesse and Matt shrug at the idea of a conference presentation.
Charlie has reports lined out on the table.
CHARLIE
And another show is going to bite the dust. Say goodbye to Real Hollywood, as it will be gone after the next season concludes.
Jesse looks up at Charlie, with a puzzled look.
JESSE
So, renewed for a final season?
CHARLIE
Meadows, that’s essentially what it means at the network.
MATT
I may as well call that “renanceled”. Or “canewed”.
CHARLIE
Matt, if you are attempting your sorry a** excuse of a stand up joke, it has failed. We are at a business meeting here.
JESSE
Something that should have been discussed while Ash is in the room.
Charlie then gets up.
CHARLIE
Don’t you want to get all these series orders done? I heard this Mike character has a great show called Planet X that is a contender.
JESSE
I heard the testing went well. But did we already give a cancelation notice to Life with Jess but we ended up giving that a final season and a move to Friday?
CHARLIE
That’s exactly what we did.
Jesse quickly jots the information down on his notepad for future reference.
INT. HOSPITAL ROOM - EVENING
Kasey, in distress, is in pushing mode in the hospital.
The OBGYN is attempting to get the baby out.
Leah and Ash are outside of the room.
INT. HOSPITAL HALLWAY - EVENING
Ash comforts Leah. Leah’s expression reads of worry.
LEAH
Surely Charlie and the boys are done with the pilot considerations and show fates.
ASH
I got this under control.
Charlie and Jesse enter the scene.
CHARLIE
Sorry to keep you waiting. Matt had to go home.
JESSE
The meeting was productive, for the most part.
Leah glares at Jesse.
LEAH
Your baby is coming, Jesse. Go be with the mother of your child. Hurry!
Jesse then waves goodbye and enters the hospital room.
A baby cries.
Charlie loses it and cries.
ASH
Charlie, what’s the matter?
CHARLIE
Nothing. I just witnessed a beautiful thing.
Leah pats Charlie on the shoulder.
INT. HOSPITAL ROOM - NIGHT
Hours later, Kasey is holding her newborn son in her arms.
Jesse, exhausted from the day, looks over at Kasey.
Kasey glances at Jesse.
JESSE
So, you nervous?
KASEY
Why wouldn’t I be?
Kasey then turns her attention on the sleeping baby.
And this concludes another season of Network. See you next fall, peoples!
