Setting: When we last left Reva, she was getting ready to be married to Don Corleone Santos on the island of San Cristobel. We pick up with Reva 9 months later after she has given birth to Don's son, Maxwell. Reva is holding her son and admiring him. Don walks into the nursery. Reva: Oh it's so cute, the way he shook down the nanny for protection money last week. She ran out of here crying. I suppose we'll have to replace her. Don: How about that nice nurse I met who was here on vacation, what was her name? Mutton...No, Dutton. That was it. Annie Dutton. Reva: She seemed a little obsessive to me, maybe an ex-marine would be less intense. Don: We can sort it out later. I have an appointment today with a "client" of mine. We'll be talking "business". If you happen to hear any gunfire or bloodcurdling screams, ignore em. Reva: Ok, but try not to get any blood stains on the rug this time. I just had it steam cleaned. Don: No problem. I'll meet you for dinner at eight. Don leaves for his study. Reva picks up a ring she found hidden with some of her things in Don's closet. Reva: He hid these things from me. He must have gotten them from the king when I washed up in the fishing net. what's this, a ring? It says something on it. "Forever, Love Bud". what could that mean? Maybe I really liked drinking beer? Wait, I'm remembering something. It's a small cabin in Oklahoma. Crazy Creek?...Crosseyed Creek? Something like that. That place must mean something to me, it must be something from my past. The client walks in to the nursery looking for the study. Client: Excuse me, can you tell me where I can find Mr. Santo's office? Reva: It's in the study, secod door to the left. Client: Reva! Is that you? Reva: Do I know you? Kyle: It's me, Kyle Sampson. Reva: Who? Kyle: Kyle, the love of your life? Well, one of the many anyway. What are you doing here? Reva: I live here, with my husband Don. Kyle: You're married to that creep? I owe him millions in gambling debts. He's threatened to kill me if I don't pay up. I have to let my exwife's widower raise my son, for his own safety. I'm going to pay him some money to get him off my back long enough to fake my death. You should come away with me before you get hurt. he has enemies that are after him too, You're in danger all the way around. Reva: Nuts! Do I have to give him back the ring if I split with the baby? Kyle: That is the ugliest ring I ever saw, he should pay you to take it with you. We'll meet out by my plane in ten minutes. I've arranged for an explosion when we're in the air. I have parachutes we can use before the plane blows up. It will look like we all died. We can go to Springfield. Don: I heard that! You're not going anywhere Sampson. It's Judgement Day for you. Reva: I can't keep track of all these Royal holidays, Seems like we just celebrated Easter and now it's Judgement Day. I didn't even buy any presents. Kyle: It's a figure of speech, Reva. Reva: What does it mean? Kyle: Duck!!! Don fires a gun at Kyle and misses. Reva: What do ducks have to do with it? Kyle grabs Reva and runs for the boat. Don snatches the baby from the crib before Reva can get to it. Reva: My baby!!! No!!!! Don: It's your choice Reva. You can come back for the baby or run away with Sampson and never see the baby again. Reva: Let's see...handsome millionaire? or screaming brat? Tough choice...See you, loser. Don: You will not leave my fah-mee-lee, I will hunt you both down to my dying day if need be. Kyle and Reva race off in the plane. Kyle takes the bomb and drops it on Don's helicopter. Kyle: That takes care of him following us. I did some fuel calculations and I figure we have enough fuel to take us to Springfield nonstop. Hours later the plane sputters and stalls... Reva: You were saying? Kyle: Oooops, my calculations were off, I forgot to carry the three and multiply. This might be a good time for those parachutes. Reva and Kyle jump out of the stalling plane. Crosswinds cause them to drift miles apart. Kyle drifts out of site while Reva lands in a cornfield in Goshen. Abby sees Reva landing and goes to her mother. She excitedly demonstrates the "giant bird" she saw fall out of the sky by flapping her hands up and down. Pa Blume: Land Sakes, the child has gone mindless. Ma Blume: No, she is using our special language to tell me about a giant blonde bird landing in Yoder's cornfield. Pa Blume: It must be a sign, we must lock our doors and pray til morning. Reva untangles her parachute and realizes she has hit her head. Suffereing from a concussion, she also has (yet again) amnesia and remembers nothing about San Cristobel or her past with Josh. Yoder: You must be a sky demon! We are simple people, we mean you no harm. Reva: I'm no demon, so put that wooden stake away please. Yoder: what do you want from us? Reva: Well, I would like a change of clothes. I landed in a mud puddle and got mine all dirty. Yoder: My wife will find you something suitable. Reva: Do you have anything NOT in burlap? No, I suppose you don't. Reva changes and approaches Yoder Lapp. Reva: I feel like Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm, dressed like this. Yoder: Aye, then your name be Rebecca? I am Yoder. Reva: I loved you in Empire Strikes Back! Yoder: Yoder, not Yoda! My name is Yoder Lapp. I am a simple farmer here in Goshen. You will be needing a place to stay, will you not? Reva: Sure, can you point me to the nearest Motel 6? Yoder: I have not heard of that place. You may stay with old Bessie. Reva: Is that your wife? Yoder: Heaven's no, it's my cow. You may stay in the barn until we build you a proper home. Mind your feet, Bessie is blessed with an active colon. Reva: Well, look out Bessie. I'm Moo-ving in!
