The Unexpected Visit
INT. BETHANY'S LIVING ROOM – AFTERNOON
The afternoon sun shines through the windows. Bethany is relaxing on the couch, scrolling through her phone.
The doorbell rings. She opens the door to find Hope and Faith standing outside, looking nervous.
BETHANY: Well… this is a surprise. Come on in.
Hope and Faith sit down. An awkward silence fills the room.
BETHANY: You two didn’t come here just to say hello. What’s going on?
HOPE: Bethany… We actually came because we need a favor.
FAITH: We heard your dad, Mr. New Burger, knows a lot of business owners. Maybe he could help us find new jobs.
BETHANY: So you want me to ask my dad to get both of you hired?
HOPE: We’re not asking for anything huge. Just an opportunity. We’ve been trying for weeks.
BETHANY: I’ll see what I can do. No promises.
Bethany's Secret Plan
After Hope and Faith leave, Bethany’s smile turns into a mischievous grin. She immediately calls Brooke.
BETHANY: Guess who just came begging me for help? Hope and Faith. They want me to ask my dad to find them jobs.
The Phone Confrontation
INT. BROOKE’S BEDROOM – SAME TIME
Brooke and Destiny react strongly and decide to call Hope and Faith.
EXT. SHOPPING CENTER – DAY
Hope and Faith are walking when Brooke calls.
BROOKE: Why did you ask Bethany to tell Mr. New Burger to get you a job?
HOPE: We asked for help. That’s all.
DESTINY: Help? Or a shortcut? There are job applications everywhere.
FAITH: We’ve been applying everywhere. Dozens of applications. Multiple interviews. Nothing has worked.
HOPE: Asking someone for a recommendation isn’t a crime. We never expected a free job — just a chance.
The Turning Point
FAITH: We trusted Bethany. Instead, she turned our private conversation into family gossip. That’s the part that hurts.
Silence falls on the call. Brooke and Destiny are taken aback.
HOPE: Tell Bethany… thanks for reminding us who we can trust.
Hope ends the call.
Consequences
INT. BROOKE’S BEDROOM – CONTINUOUS
DESTINY: Maybe Bethany shouldn’t have shared what they told her.
BROOKE: Yeah… that wasn’t right.
Bethany's Realization
Bethany calls Brooke back immediately.
BETHANY: Well? Did you straighten them out?
BROOKE: Actually… I think they had a point too.
DESTINY: You shouldn’t have shared their private request.
Bethany is left speechless.
Sometimes the person you trust the most turns your request into gossip… and the truth comes back around.
