Current Talk '24 I / Re: And Even Yet Another New Slideshow

Things play out somewhat as scripted in the scene where Vicki goes to wake David the next day. Though first up, rather than as scripted -
- what Vicki actually says in the pilot is "David?" before she knocks and follows with "Come on sleepy head. It's late. You've been sleeping all say."
Then I don't believe there's anything about the photo. But it's been so long since I've seen the pilot, that I could be wrong there.
But where things get very different is that after Vicki discovers that David is gone, she looks out the window and sees David outside running off in the direction of the Old House (recall that Willie had pointed the house out to her as he drove her to Collinwood on the night she arrived). She screams for David to come back - but of course he doesn't listen. And that's why Vicki goes to the Old House...
EXT. COLLINWOOD - DAY
Late afternoon... long shadows cross the grounds.
INT. DAVID'S BEDROOM - DAY
The door opens and Victoria looks in. A mound under the covers suggests David's still asleep.VICTORIA
David? It's almost 4:00... you've
been sleeping all day.

Only silence from the bed. Moving quietly, Victoria enters David's room, noticing a
PHOTO
on the bed-stand. It's in a colorful frame, the words "Mom And Me" printed in the plastic. As Victoria holds the photo to the light, she sees a much younger David, smiling and happy, standing next to a woman. Eerily, though, the
WOMAN'S FACE HAS BEEN TORN OUT,
leaving only a ragged, empty hole. Victoria stares at the bizarre image with a SHIVER, then reaches out toward the bed.

VICTORIA (CONT'D)
David?
As she gently shakes the blankets, they fall away, revealing an arrangement of PILLOWS and
ANGELIQUE'S SILVER AMULET
lying on the sheet. Realizing David's gone, Victoria grabs the amulet and bolts for the door.
