FADE IN:

EXT. PLANE - DAY

A plane is flying westward through the skies. 

INT. BUSINESS CLASS - DAY

In the plane, Ash and Leah are joined by the rest of the gang to Los Angeles. 

While Ash falls asleep on the plane, Leah is watching a movie. 

Charlie and Jesse sit behind Matt and Holly on the other side of the plane.

Kasey is sitting behind them with Ezra next to her in the seat carrier. 

Ezra sleeps soundly.

Kasey yawns. 

KASEY
How long have we been on this plane?

CHARLIE
One hour, grasshopper. We’re not even expected in LA for another hour. 

HOLLY
It’s a four-and-a-half-hour flight. We’ll get there. 

Kasey then slumps back to her place.

Suddenly, her phone pings. 

She looks at it. 

INSERT - PHONE SCREEN
reading “JILL: Everything okay?”

Kasey then sends a text back, reading, “We left New York an hour ago. The Wi-fi here is nice.” 

Kasey then sits back after placing her phone on airplane mode. 

She then drifts off to sleep. 

SUPER: THIRTY MINUTES LATER...

On the other side of the plane, Will (you may remember him on Writer’s Block) glances behind Ash and Leah.

WILL
Sorry for interrupting, but I’m flying all the way back to California from a writer’s retreat in New York. 

Leah then turns around. 

LEAH
That sounds pretty cool. I’m heading there on vacation.

Ash then wakes up.

ASH
Has it been two hours yet?

LEAH
Not yet, dear. 

Ash then nods and dozes off. 

SUPER: A FEW HOURS LATER…

INT. HOTEL ROOM - NIGHT

At the hotel, Jesse is typing something on the laptop computer.

Charlie is on the couch watching a reality show.

CHARLIE
Are you f****** kidding me? You’re giving the rose to that b****? 

Jesse then puts the laptop down.

He turns towards Charlie with a small grin. 

JESSE
Didn’t realize you’re watching The Choice over here.

In case you didn’t realize this by now, The Choice is basically the Network version of The Bachelor franchise shows. 

CHARLIE
An RGO classic. Somehow I don’t understand why we program trash TV. 

JESSE
(with a chuckle)
I don’t agree with it either. But for us, it has been a major staple on the network for a long time. 

Charlie then shoots Jesse a look. 

JESSE (CONT'D)
What’s that look for?

Charlie then sits up. 

She then crosses her arms.

CHARLIE
You have some nerve asking me “what’s that look for?”. 

She then gets up.

Jesse then sighs.

He gets up as Charlie tiptoes closer to him.

JESSE
Charlotte! What are you doing?

Charlie then proceeds to hug Jesse. 

JESSE (CONT’D)
Whoa now. That’s tight. 

CHARLIE
Shut up.

She then loosens her grip and gazes up at Jesse.

Jesse leans closer. 
He gently places his lips towards hers.

Then he pulls back.

Charlie and Jesse sit next to each other.

JESSE 
First kiss, huh?

CHARLIE
First in a long time. 

Charlie then takes Jesse’s hand with one hand and flips the television off with the remote in the other.

CHARLIE (CONT'D)
I guess we’re sharing this bed tonight. But just to sleep, not anything else. 

JESSE
Okay. Taking it slow. Got it.

Charlie then shrugs. 

INT. JILL AND MIKE’S APARTMENT - NIGHT

Kasey stays with her sister Jill and her fiance, Mike.

Kasey sits on the couch. 

Jill sits next to her, holding Ezra in her arms. 

Mike brings out coffee for not only himself, but also for the girls.

KASEY
You and Ezra are getting along really well. 

JILL
Well, I am trying my best to be an awesome auntie. 

MIKE 
Auntie? 

KASEY
Mike, you’re not even his uncle yet. But you will be. How does that feel?

MIKE
Pretty soon we’ll all be writers working as a family. 

JILL
I’m not so sure. Beverly Hills is expensive. Then again, New York is even more expensive.

Kasey sighs. 

KASEY
(groggily)
Don’t even get me started on Queens.

Mike picks up his cup and takes a sip of the coffee.

He then shrugs.

MIKE
We never even said anything about Queens. 

Kasey chuckles. She then takes a sip of coffee.

Jill plays around with baby Ezra.

INT. HOTEL HALLWAY AND BAR - EARLY MORNING

The next morning, Ash sits in the hotel dining quarters with his breakfast.

ASH
Oh what a day. 

Leah then enters the scene, with hair somewhat messy. There is also a hint of an afterglow on her cheeks.

She sits down and gently takes Ash’s hand.

LEAH
This trip was wonderful. I gotta admit. 

ASH
Would have preferred if it was the two of us. 

LEAH
It was nice, either way. 

ASH
At this time next year, hopefully there will be three of us. 

Leah frowns.

LEAH
I don’t want to be reminded of that right now. I’m scared. 

ASH
It’s been a few months. 

Leah then lets go of Ash’s hand. 

She lets out a sad sigh.

LEAH
Maybe you’re right.

INT. HOTEL ROOM - MORNING

Back at the hotel room, Jesse slowly wakes up. 

Charlie wakes up next to him. 

He sighs.

Charlie then opens her eyes.


CHARLIE
Jesse? 

JESSE
What?

CHARLIE
It’s only 6:30 in the morning. Come back to bed.

JESSE
(with a chuckle)
This is awkward.

On the next episode of Network, we continue with part 2 of the gang’s adventures with some of the characters of Writer’s Block, plus we head back to New York.
