Beverly Hills, 90210 (1990) s06e11 Episode Script
Offensive Interference
Okay, I understand, but could you please take a message for Joe? Who is this? Is Tiny around? Well, can I speak to him? You know what? Never mind.
Thanks for nothing.
Bad phone etiquette at the jock house? Either that or Joe's avoiding me.
Don, it's homecoming week.
It's got to be, you know, like a totally insane time for Joe with the game on Saturday and everything.
Yeah, I know.
But he made me promise to call him before I left for the Tournament House.
Well, I wouldn't make too much out of it.
It's been a weird week.
That's for sure.
On a more positive note, we haven't had a Ray Pruit sighting in days.
You're not calling again, are you? I can't help it.
Ti-Tiny? Hi, it's Donna.
Is Joe around? Uh, just a second.
A.
K.
, it's Joe's girlfriend.
This is A.
K.
Hey, what's going on? He's talking with the police.
Some guy's claming Joe pounded on him Halloween night.
On Halloween? Oh, no.
I'll tell him you called.
I got to go.
Damn him.
Joe? Ray.
He's not giving up.
Give me some room here, guys.
May I have your attention, please? May I have your attention, please?! Listen up, Condor maniacs! Thanks, Muntz.
A lot of you may already know me.
But for those of you who don't, I'm Steve Sanders.
I've been appointed the guardian over the Condor, Cornelius J.
Condor.
I want you all to know that when our warriors take that field against those cross-town unmentionables that Corny will be there! Corny will be there as he is every year to watch over our warriors to ensure a victory.
- Victory! - Victory! Guarding Corny is no easy task.
As I speak, there are S.
C.
U.
students conspiring to snatch him.
Uh-huh.
That's not gonna happen on my watch, folks.
At 3:00 today, Corny's gonna be crated up and transported to a secret location known only to my covert Condor patrol.
So until Saturday, let the demons of generosity be with us.
Yeah! Our Corny S.
C.
U.
will definitely be out for revenge.
Last year, a bunch of us got together and we stole their stuffed bear.
Yeah, spy versus spy.
Sounds like fun.
It is.
You know, you're part of C.
U.
now, Professor Robbins.
Maybe you should join the ranks.
Well, I'd only do it if you were doing it.
Well, I've already done it, sorry.
See you later.
Bye.
How'd I do, our man? Like they say, sounds like school spirit.
Well, thanks a lot.
Hey, Silver, where's Valerie? She was the chief architect in the great bear heist, and she's missing all this? Beats me.
Could've sworn she'd be here.
I'm sorry.
I got here a little early, Valerie.
All right, Jonesy, what are you doing here? Remember that favor I did for you and Dylan in old Mexico? It's payback time.
- Yeah, yeah, right.
- Do you mind? No, no, not at all.
So, uh how's detective life? Well, it's booming.
So, uh, did you hear about Dylan? Oh, yeah, yeah.
I got a, uh, blow by blow from a bud at the Bureau.
But, uh, you know, what the hell, I wish him luck.
Yeah, we all do.
Wherever he is.
You know, I could find him if you want me to.
I don't think he wants to be found.
That's good, because, uh, that's not the reason why I'm here.
You're calling in my promise.
You know, that's what I love about you.
You can dance, Valerie, you can dance to any tune.
Listen, Jonesy, just break it down for me first, okay? I'm not the same girl I was in Mexico.
Well, I don't know about that.
I mean, from where I'm sitting, you are definitely, uh, topping out the old, uh, scorch meter.
- Whoosh! - You were saying? Okay, uh, this gig is like cotton candy compared to Mexico.
I need you for one night, okay? You don't have to leave town.
And I'll tell you what, I'll throw in a very tasteful wardrobe, okay? You owe me.
Say yes? Come on, who's your buddy? Who's your buddy? Yes? Okay, yes.
Yes! What's going on? I might be charged with battery for that, uh, that fight with Ray.
I'm sorry.
I had to tell Coach, and, uh, that's when he realized that I must have missed curfew Halloween night.
He checked and found out someone else had signed in for me.
And, uh, he suspended me for one game.
Yeah, but if you hadn't been there, I don't know what would have happened to me.
Doesn't matter now.
Sports radio's suddenly reporting S.
C.
U.
as a heavy favorite.
This dorm is not exactly the happiest place on Earth.
Joe.
Coach said to stay away from her.
You want him to sit you out for another game? I have to go, Donna.
I know.
Do us all a favor: go away.
And I'll tell you what, I'll throw in a very tasteful wardrobe, okay? Dylan, this is Fran Irving from Lahaina Bay Realty.
Thursday.
I'm dying to show you the most fabulous piece of beachfront, but you have to call me.
Aloha.
Brandon.
I know.
I said I'd only be a second.
Well, I wouldn't care, but if I start showing up late to the staff meetings, everybody else will, too.
Sorry.
Do you know exactly what "close up the place" means? Because it just seems kind of vague to me, and I don't know exactly where to start.
If you want to stay here, you should.
Just let me take your car, okay? You want to take my car? Sure.
Why? No, that's all right.
Let's go.
Look, I know this hasn't been getting any easier for you.
Is there anything I can do for you? Yeah, you can cheer me up.
Well, I know something you can do.
- What's that? - Well, you haven't written a column yet this week.
Maybe that might help you back in the swing of things.
Is that a hint, Ms.
Editor? Of course not.
Now the moment you've been waiting for.
The announcement of the seven ladies who will comprise the Royal Court.
Princess three, number 119, Cara Gannon.
Number 381, Tiffany Ramos.
It's about time.
The freeway was shut down to one lane.
Princess four, number 400, Virginia Vanover.
Donna's gonna have a fit when she sees that her mom's here.
Typical Felice.
Show up for the glory.
Hmm, not exactly.
She's probably here to gloat when Donna loses.
Mm-hmm.
Princess five, number 132, Lisa Dixon.
Number six, number 512, Neda Shokrian.
I still can't believe she got this far.
And princess seven, number 675, Donna Martin.
Well, it looks like you're going to have to tell her now.
There I am.
It is you.
I knew it was you.
Why would you lie to me? The day after this picture was taken, I found out I was pregnant.
What? I was 19 years old, living at home with my parents.
Your father was in medical school.
We had to get married as quickly as we could.
I never told anyone.
Not my parents, not even my best friend.
And then, of course, I had to drop out of the competition because the tournament has rules about married girls participating.
That was 26 years ago.
What happened to the baby? I had a miscarriage.
Oh, Mom, I'm so sorry.
No, Donna, I'm the one who's sorry.
I wanted you to quit, too.
I didn't want you to find out what a fraud your mother is.
No, you're not a fraud.
Yes, I am.
I mean, how could I preach virginity when here I was, even younger than you, engaging in free love? What kind of a life lesson is that? I love the lessons you've taught me.
They're the best lessons.
You don't think I'm a hypocrite? You'd only be that if you hadn't told me the truth.
I love you so much.
I only want the very best for you.
I hope you believe that.
I do.
I love you, too, Mom.
Come on, come on.
Where do we put it? Put it in the foyer.
You're gonna put it in there? Why don't you just put a big sign on it that says C.
U.
Mascot? By the way, it's "foy-yea.
" "Foy-yea," whatever.
Listen.
Why don't you just chill and take orders, okay? Well, if it isn't the deserter.
Valerie, where the hell have you been? You're missing all the action.
I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to flake, but something came up.
Can you guys get by this year without me? You hear that, Corny? Valerie's deserting us.
What should I? Oh.
What did he say? He said, Valerie who? He's a fickle bird.
You guys thirsty? - There's some beer in the fridge.
- All righty.
So, uh, you okay? No.
Uh, something came up.
Oh, well, if it has anything to do with the club, I'll give you a hand.
No, actually, it's personal.
Um, I'm going to have to go out later.
It's no big deal.
Do you need a ride? No, I have to finish up some business.
Alone.
What kind of business? Old business.
Now are you going to give me the third degree, or are you going to kiss me? No, I'm going to give you the third degree.
I can't imagine what's so important.
Fine.
I thought you'd understand.
Understand what? You won't even tell me what's going on.
Look, David, could I have my personal life, please? I mean, do I have to tell you everything? Sorry.
Hi.
Come on in the car.
So, you ready to rock and stroll, Valerie? I'm not getting out of the car.
Of course you are.
Look, this guy likes to, uh, pick them up from the streets, all right? That's how he gets his little rush.
Come on, here we go.
Come on.
Aah Step lightly, me little lassie.
Uh Well, um, you know what I want you to do, right? Forget it.
I am not gonna parade around and shake my little moneymaker, - okay? - Oh, no, no, no.
Of course you're not.
I mean, these girls are, uh, they're too obvious.
What, what this guy wants, you know, is, uh, some attitude, right? So, you just kind of snuggle up to the old Cadillac here, show a little.
And you look like you are P.
O.
'd at somebody, all right? Great.
I can do that.
Listen, Valerie, I got your back all the way on this, all right? Now, with any kind of luck, this white limo's gonna be cruising by within the hour.
Look, you know me, I've done my homework.
Why? Because I'm a total professional.
Wait, I have to get in the car with him? Yeah.
No way! No! No way! Valerie, Valerie, no, no, no, listen, listen, listen, okay? The driver he's working with us.
He's gonna take you to the Bel Ami Hotel, because, uh, fun boy likes to impress the trash.
Oh, thanks for the compliment.
At-at the hotel, I've got a photographer placed there.
Catch him with his pants down.
Pop.
Pop.
Click.
Click.
We fold up the tent and on to our, uh, meaningful lives.
All right, who is this guy? Well, that's a secret, remember? But, uh, I don't know, we can call him the Duke.
And is there a "Duchess"? Oh, yeah, but she's hoping to become an ex-Duchess.
Or should I say a very rich ex-Duchess? The, uh, photos are well, they're for her.
What, you're working on a divorce case? Yeah.
- How cheesy.
- Wha This guy's a creep.
He's a wife beater, he deserves to be put away.
- Hi.
- Hi.
What's going on? What are you guys doing here? Kelly, your man is our deepest cover agent.
He's been working for the cause all week.
He has? It's no big deal.
I, uh, I oversaw the making of a counterfeit Cornelius J.
Condor in the art lab.
That's about it.
- You're kidding.
- Mm-hmm.
That's a decoy sitting in the Walsh Foyer.
Huh.
So, where's the real Corny? Hmm, I have no idea.
Oh! Hello? Joe? I thought you couldn't call.
Yeah, well, the guys are over at the Coach's for a chalk talk.
Donna, why didn't you tell me that you made the court? You heard? Yeah, I had to watch it on TV.
You looked so pretty, so excited.
Yeah, I was.
Hey, don't worry about me.
All right, everything works out for the best.
They do? Yeah.
You just have to keep faith.
That's what my dad always used to say, and he made a believer out of me.
I can't believe how calm you are.
Anything more happen with the police? Yeah, uh, the city attorney reviewed Ray's complaint and pressed formal charges.
I'm really sorry.
No one's supposed to know until Monday.
That's when I'm being arraigned.
Well, is there anything - I can do? - Yeah.
I'm sure my lawyer would love to talk to you tomorrow.
Oh.
Okay.
Sure, um any time.
I just have to be at the Tournament House in the afternoon.
Just tell him to call me.
Okay, I will.
Uh, his name is Bruce Paxton.
Look, I'd better get going.
I'll talk to you soon.
And, uh I really miss you, Donna.
I miss you, too.
You know, I don't get it.
Is it too much to ask? Can you at least stand up? Jonesy, my feet are killing me, okay? Face it, the white limo is not coming.
Well, you might be right.
I should probably pull the plug.
Terrific.
Jonesy, have a great life.
Sorry it didn't work out.
No, wait, wait.
Hold it, hold it, hold it.
You gotta trust me here.
Now this guy is a he's a, he's a creature of habit, all right? I think we should get one more night.
Besides, little girl, you owe me.
Sanders, I know I agreed to this little homecoming stunt, but could you please keep Muntz and company from dropping chips and beer nuts all over Hey, chill, man.
It'll all be over tonight.
You look like you could use some fun.
Why don't you hang out with us tonight? No.
I've got stuff to do at McKay's and a column to write.
Just don't turn my house into a frat sty.
He'll snap out of it.
Okay, well, thank you for coming in.
Whatever I can do.
Well, you're an eyewitness, Donna.
Your word carries lots of weight.
You know, I, uh, I was wondering what could happen to Joe if he's found guilty? Well, the maximum penalty is a $2,000 fine and six months in jail.
Don't worry about that.
After hearing your side of the story, I think we have a defense here; Joe was protecting you.
But the thing is, after Monday's arraignment, the fact that you were abused by your ex-boyfriend is going to become a matter of public record.
So, you ready for that? Yeah.
Are you sure? Yeah, I will be as soon as I tell my parents.
Steve, anything? Yes! Yes! We have liftoff.
Shh, Valerie's still sleeping.
Not anymore.
She's up.
Sort of.
Sorry, Val.
No, you're not.
What am I, invisible? Morning, David.
Hey, you want me to get you some juice or something? You look pretty wasted.
Oh, yeah, that would be great.
Thanks.
I guess I got in pretty late, huh? Yeah.
Well, I, I gave up calling after 1:30.
So, how'd it go? Listen, I don't want to talk about it.
Just don't make a big deal about it, okay? Well, whatever it was, I'm, uh, I'm glad it's over.
I'm gonna take you out tonight, so I don't want any arguments.
David, I can't go out tonight.
This business isn't finished.
I gotta know.
Um Is there a a guy involved? Just tell me that.
Please, no questions, okay? I mean, I'll be able to tell you someday.
I just can't tell you right now.
So there is a guy involved.
Yes, but it's not what you think.
What guy? Are you gonna get me juice or not? Do I know him? Why are you acting so jealous? I'm not jealous, all right? I'm just upset 'cause you won't be honest with me.
You know what? Forget about the juice.
Just forget about the good mornings.
Just leave me the hell alone, okay? I need a shower.
It's a nice outfit.
Who'd you wear this for? David, look, I have a headache, okay? It's not like we're married or something.
Just give me a little space here.
I'll give you tons of space.
You're acting so childish.
I really hate that.
How else can I act? It's not like I'm one of the guys who gets to be adult with you.
What's that supposed to mean? You know how you keep telling me to be patient with this relationship? Yeah.
Yeah, well, I think my patience just ran out.
Lisa.
- Hi.
- Hey.
- Want to grab a bite to eat? - Oh, I'd love to, but I've got to get straight to work.
I need to talk to my boss about my schedule.
I didn't realize there was gonna be so many fittings next week.
Well, if you ever need any help with anything, just ask.
I warn you, I'm not shy.
Who's that? That's Ray.
The Ray? Yeah.
I'll see you later.
No, no, no, I'm gonna wait right here for you.
Okay, thanks.
Hey, Donna.
How'd you know I was here? You could get the schedule for the Royal Court just by calling.
Look, I'm really happy for you.
I kind of feel like I've been there since the beginning of all this.
How can you stand there sweet-talking me when you are making my life and Joe's a living hell? Look, I gave you fair warning, and I'm gonna give you a second chance.
- What are you talking about? - My lawyer said there's no case against Joe if I don't testify.
So, what do you want me to do? Dump Joe and come running back to you? Is that so bad? We were happy, Donna.
No! No, we were living a lie.
And anything more between us makes that a bigger lie.
Now go ahead with your charges.
The truth will come out.
Yeah, it will.
I'll see you in court.
Hi.
Hi.
I was driving by and I saw your car.
What's in the bag? Good eats.
In case we get hungry.
Just driving by, huh? Okay.
I didn't think you should have to do this alone.
Shouldn't you be off guarding Cornelius J.
Condor or something? Brandon, you're not the only one who misses him.
Sorry.
It's just I've been, I've been coming here all week and checking his messages and getting his mail and I don't think he's ever coming back.
So, why do I bother? Because you're his friend, and you love him.
And that's not ever gonna change for you or for me.
Well I'm glad you came.
Good.
Do you want some help or not? Yes.
Fine, I want some help.
Good.
Hey.
How you doing? Okay, I'm gonna call you, all right? I will.
I promise.
Valerie? Where're you going? Don't be going anywhere.
What's the matter with you? Look, I'm going to get some coffee.
The guy can wait.
Let's get something clear, all right? You have a chance to share in a sizable bonus.
- So? - "So"? So don't forget we are playing hardball.
Come on, batter up, girl.
You know, this is all making me a little too hard.
I think I lost my boyfriend today.
Yeah, well, that might be for the best.
I mean, he's probably one of these guys who's just gonna fade when the chips are down.
You know, I can't believe I'm getting dating advice from a guy that Dylan told me travels with an inflatable doll.
See, right there, man.
Right there, right there.
Rumors, rumors, ru Wait a second.
Here we go.
Here we go.
Come on.
Uh-uh.
Shoo.
Shoo, shoo.
I got just the ticket for you tonight, sport.
I'm sorry.
I'm just looking for directions.
No, no.
Listen to me closely.
I can get you into paradise tonight.
Meet Heavenly.
Are you gonna leave me standing here, or can I come in? Well, I'm not sure I understand.
Let me make this real simple, okay? $200 an hour and she gets in your car.
Satisfaction guaranteed.
Guaranteed.
Police officer.
Hold it right there.
- Put your hands on the car.
- Ahh What's going on? We're cooked.
You're under arrest for violation 647B of the Penal Code of the state of California.
You have the right to remain silent.
If you choose to give up that right, everything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law.
Do you understand those rights? Yes.
Come on.
Easy, easy, easy! Aw.
I hate you.
You asked for it.
Hi, Susan.
Come on in.
I am in.
- This probably looks pretty strange.
- Yeah.
Oh, please, don't, uh, stop on my account.
Really, I just brought by these brownies.
I thought you might need a little sugar rush.
No, no, don't need that.
How are you at controlling a, uh, killer plastic robot? Oh, go ahead, really.
I don't need to play.
Oh, yes, you do, because I am late for a very important date, and I guess we got a little carried away here.
It's all my fault.
I never should've given Dylan this in the first place.
I can't believe he kept it.
Well, I'm gonna leave while I am still undefeated.
She lies.
Hey, Kel, thanks for all your help.
I-I appreciate it.
You're welcome.
Looks like Kelly got you out of your funk.
Yeah, well, she's a good friend.
I, uh, baked them myself.
Well, you know, I-I don't really deserve one.
I haven't, uh, written my column yet.
You know, I don't care.
I want to be a good friend, too.
Actually, I want to be a lot more than a good friend.
Hello.
David.
Valerie? I'm sleeping.
Good-bye.
Don't hang up, okay.
You're my one call.
What? Listen, just listen to me very carefully.
I need you to bail me out.
You're in jail? Can you get a thousand dollars in cash? What are you in jail for? I'm in Central Detention downtown.
I'll, uh, I'll tell you why later.
No, no, no, tell me now.
What'd they arrest you for? Prostitution.
What? You're serious? It was all a mistake.
Please, just hurry, okay? That's it, honey.
Everybody's waiting.
Here's your stuff, honey.
I'll get your walking papers.
Thank you.
Sure.
So, are you okay? Yeah.
I guess I really disappointed you.
I guess.
Listen, David, I want to explain.
Not now.
You know, Val, I can't help thinking You could've phoned anyone with that one call.
I mean Brandon, Steve, Nat But you called me.
Wasn't even close.
Why? You're the only one I can let see me like this.
I'm really embarrassed, David.
Don't be.
We'll handle it.
Oh Val! Well, here we are.
I was just, uh, getting to you.
Well, you're a little late.
Listen, I am so sorry, putting you through what you had to go through, but, uh Oh, Val, you gotta look at the bright side of things, huh? Well, I hope you pulled some strings.
Strings? I pulled the whole rope.
Now, uh, all the charges have been dropped and, uh, your record is clean.
- Who is this clown? - Clown? - Yeah.
- Why? Are you laughing? David! David, listen.
Wait.
This is Jay J.
Jones.
- David? - Yeah.
Detective, um he's a friend of Dylan's.
And a friend of yours, Val.
So, uh this is the, uh, new boyfriend, huh? I've heard all about you.
Yeah, I'm sorry, I can't say the same.
Well, I'm sure our gal Val will fill you in.
You see, kid, we were on a mission last night, fighting for the forces of good.
But unfortunately, uh we lost.
So I noticed.
What happened? What happened? Well, apparently the Duke got wind of our little sting through a friend of his wife and decided to sting us instead.
Well, it worked.
Yeah.
But I'm happy to report that I got half the money up front.
Of course, I'm sad to report that little lady won't be seeing any of the bonus.
Well, that's all right, because I already got my bonus a guy who doesn't fade.
Thanks for agreeing to see me.
Make this quick.
We got a pregame meeting over at the field.
Okay, I can make it quick.
Look, I just don't want you or the other guys to be mad at Joe because of me.
Yeah, sure.
No problem.
See ya.
Please.
I don't think you understand, and I didn't understand until yesterday.
Understand what? I don't think Joe told you the whole story about what went down Halloween night.
We heard enough.
Look, the night that Joe broke curfew, he wasn't partying.
He was protecting me from an abusive ex-boyfriend.
He was scared that I was in danger and I was.
I'm sorry.
He really should've said something.
Yeah, well, I think he was more concerned about my reputation than anything else, and I think that's the same reason why he's such a great leader on the field.
'Cause he's more concerned about everyone else than himself.
So You'll have to forgive her guys.
I think she's laying it on a little thick.
I don't think so.
A.
K.
, you're team captain.
Am I exaggerating about Joe? No.
I think she's dead on.
All right, Condors! Okay Okay, well, it's game day.
Right on.
The big question on everybody's lips other than are we gonna win is - Where's Corny?! - Where's Corny?! Yeah! Where's Corny? Exactly.
So if you'll take a look at the big screen behind me, you'll find out.
Not exactly.
Uh-uh, uh-uh.
In case you may have heard that Corny was being paraded around the S.
C.
U.
campus, well it's not true.
It's not true.
The real Corny is right here! All right, let's give it up for my Condor Commandos! We've got Clare Arnold.
Stand up, Clare.
We have Kelly Taylor.
We have Assistant Professor Colin Robbins and a host of others who didn't do enough to get singled out.
And Madman Muntz.
Go! Condors! - Go! - Condors! - Condors! - Go! - Go! - Condors! All right! What a catch! What a start to this important Pac-10 game.
That 42-yard reception leaves the Bears within breathing room of another touchdown.
It's been four minutes of football that the Condor fans would rather forget, The whole team is definitely looking for a wake-up call that has not come.
And here go the Bears, first and goal.
The snap Kreuscher drifts back to pass.
Look out, there's the Condor's number 55, A.
K.
Carson, bearing down on him.
Kreuscher is sacked! What a hit.
You got your column? Yeah, you gave it to me a couple of days ago.
Really? What's your lead? "Friendship sucks.
" You're writing about Dylan, aren't you? Yeah.
Save a copy for him.
You never know.
Coach Lyons is sending in a play from the sidelines.
And here we go.
That's fourth and seven.
The Condors are forced to punt.
There's a snap.
The kick's away It looks good.
Bears take it at their own 32.
The Condors have to consider themselves lucky, That's the truth.
The whole team looks lost without Bradley.
The Condor fans with that Joe Bradley Can we, uh, turn off the game for a second? There's something I need to tell you and Mom.
Yeah, sure.
It's about why Joe isn't playing in the game today, but more than that, it's about me and Ray.
I thought I could avoid telling you guys, but I have to.
It's kind of like how you had to tell me your secret, Mom.
Okay, what is it, sweetheart? Mom Dad this is really hard for me.
There was something really terrible going on between me and Ray.
He was hurting me.
What? You mean, physically? Yeah.
Oh, Donna.
Look, if you don't mind, I don't really want to get into the details.
It's just kind of humiliating.
I just wanted you guys to know that I'm okay.
Palm Springs.
You didn't fall down those stairs, did you? No.
Here I was going on about how much he loved you.
We couldn't understand why the two of you weren't together anymore.
He seemed like such a good kid all summer long on the boat.
I never would have guessed.
Well, it didn't happen all the time, but when it did, it was kind of bad.
I'm sorry.
It's okay, Mom.
I'm sorry.
Anyway I just I wanted you guys to know why Joe wasn't playing today.
It's because he protected me when Ray tried to do this again.
And now he might go to jail for it.
Oh, no, we're not gonna let that happen.
Donna, we're gonna do everything we can.
We're gonna stand behind you and Joe all the way.
Absolutely.
Thank you.
Sweetheart, I don't want you ever to feel afraid to tell me anything.
Same goes for you, Mom.
Oh, you.
Nat, I need two mega burgers and an order of fried zucchini.
Done.
Oh, spread the word in honor of the 35 points that the Condors scored in the second half, I'm taking 35% off of everything on the menu.
Nat, what's gotten into you? I can remember a time, and it wasn't so long ago, that everything would be on the house.
Hey, if I did that for every C.
U.
victory this season, I'd be out of business.
This team's going to the Rose Bowl! Rose Bowl! Rose Bowl! Rose Bowl! Rose Bowl! Rose Bowl! Rose Bowl! Rose Bowl's a definite possibility now.
That was a huge win.
I knew those guys could pull it off.
Yeah, the team wouldn't quit.
Quit? Are you kidding? They smoked those Bears.
Maybe they play better with Mac as quarterback.
Well, I wouldn't worry.
I think it's just like your father says, things always work out for the best.
Yeah, well, I hope that applies to the case, too.
I'm so exhausted, I need a vacation.
Well, Thanksgiving will take care of that.
Oh, no, no, no, there'll be no rest for Steve on Thanksgiving.
We're having dinner at Casa Walsh.
So, book early, kids.
Count me in.
How about you, Colin? You up for a little left-coast feast? I meant to tell you, I'm going back to New York for the holiday.
You are? Well, you're no fun.
You should tell that to Susan.
She's going to New York, too.
Okay, go Big Apple on us.
I think we can get along without them.
Do you think we can? I think we can.
Rose Bowl! Rose Bowl! Rose Bowl! Rose Bowl! Rose Bowl! Rose Bowl! Rose Bowl! Rose Bowl! Rose Bowl! Rose Bowl! Rose Bowl! Rose Bowl! Rose Bowl! Rose Bowl, Rose Bowl! You know, you haven't asked me a single question about what happened.
I uh, don't really care anymore.
You're the only one who believes in me.
And I always will.
Thanks for nothing.
Bad phone etiquette at the jock house? Either that or Joe's avoiding me.
Don, it's homecoming week.
It's got to be, you know, like a totally insane time for Joe with the game on Saturday and everything.
Yeah, I know.
But he made me promise to call him before I left for the Tournament House.
Well, I wouldn't make too much out of it.
It's been a weird week.
That's for sure.
On a more positive note, we haven't had a Ray Pruit sighting in days.
You're not calling again, are you? I can't help it.
Ti-Tiny? Hi, it's Donna.
Is Joe around? Uh, just a second.
A.
K.
, it's Joe's girlfriend.
This is A.
K.
Hey, what's going on? He's talking with the police.
Some guy's claming Joe pounded on him Halloween night.
On Halloween? Oh, no.
I'll tell him you called.
I got to go.
Damn him.
Joe? Ray.
He's not giving up.
Give me some room here, guys.
May I have your attention, please? May I have your attention, please?! Listen up, Condor maniacs! Thanks, Muntz.
A lot of you may already know me.
But for those of you who don't, I'm Steve Sanders.
I've been appointed the guardian over the Condor, Cornelius J.
Condor.
I want you all to know that when our warriors take that field against those cross-town unmentionables that Corny will be there! Corny will be there as he is every year to watch over our warriors to ensure a victory.
- Victory! - Victory! Guarding Corny is no easy task.
As I speak, there are S.
C.
U.
students conspiring to snatch him.
Uh-huh.
That's not gonna happen on my watch, folks.
At 3:00 today, Corny's gonna be crated up and transported to a secret location known only to my covert Condor patrol.
So until Saturday, let the demons of generosity be with us.
Yeah! Our Corny S.
C.
U.
will definitely be out for revenge.
Last year, a bunch of us got together and we stole their stuffed bear.
Yeah, spy versus spy.
Sounds like fun.
It is.
You know, you're part of C.
U.
now, Professor Robbins.
Maybe you should join the ranks.
Well, I'd only do it if you were doing it.
Well, I've already done it, sorry.
See you later.
Bye.
How'd I do, our man? Like they say, sounds like school spirit.
Well, thanks a lot.
Hey, Silver, where's Valerie? She was the chief architect in the great bear heist, and she's missing all this? Beats me.
Could've sworn she'd be here.
I'm sorry.
I got here a little early, Valerie.
All right, Jonesy, what are you doing here? Remember that favor I did for you and Dylan in old Mexico? It's payback time.
- Yeah, yeah, right.
- Do you mind? No, no, not at all.
So, uh how's detective life? Well, it's booming.
So, uh, did you hear about Dylan? Oh, yeah, yeah.
I got a, uh, blow by blow from a bud at the Bureau.
But, uh, you know, what the hell, I wish him luck.
Yeah, we all do.
Wherever he is.
You know, I could find him if you want me to.
I don't think he wants to be found.
That's good, because, uh, that's not the reason why I'm here.
You're calling in my promise.
You know, that's what I love about you.
You can dance, Valerie, you can dance to any tune.
Listen, Jonesy, just break it down for me first, okay? I'm not the same girl I was in Mexico.
Well, I don't know about that.
I mean, from where I'm sitting, you are definitely, uh, topping out the old, uh, scorch meter.
- Whoosh! - You were saying? Okay, uh, this gig is like cotton candy compared to Mexico.
I need you for one night, okay? You don't have to leave town.
And I'll tell you what, I'll throw in a very tasteful wardrobe, okay? You owe me.
Say yes? Come on, who's your buddy? Who's your buddy? Yes? Okay, yes.
Yes! What's going on? I might be charged with battery for that, uh, that fight with Ray.
I'm sorry.
I had to tell Coach, and, uh, that's when he realized that I must have missed curfew Halloween night.
He checked and found out someone else had signed in for me.
And, uh, he suspended me for one game.
Yeah, but if you hadn't been there, I don't know what would have happened to me.
Doesn't matter now.
Sports radio's suddenly reporting S.
C.
U.
as a heavy favorite.
This dorm is not exactly the happiest place on Earth.
Joe.
Coach said to stay away from her.
You want him to sit you out for another game? I have to go, Donna.
I know.
Do us all a favor: go away.
And I'll tell you what, I'll throw in a very tasteful wardrobe, okay? Dylan, this is Fran Irving from Lahaina Bay Realty.
Thursday.
I'm dying to show you the most fabulous piece of beachfront, but you have to call me.
Aloha.
Brandon.
I know.
I said I'd only be a second.
Well, I wouldn't care, but if I start showing up late to the staff meetings, everybody else will, too.
Sorry.
Do you know exactly what "close up the place" means? Because it just seems kind of vague to me, and I don't know exactly where to start.
If you want to stay here, you should.
Just let me take your car, okay? You want to take my car? Sure.
Why? No, that's all right.
Let's go.
Look, I know this hasn't been getting any easier for you.
Is there anything I can do for you? Yeah, you can cheer me up.
Well, I know something you can do.
- What's that? - Well, you haven't written a column yet this week.
Maybe that might help you back in the swing of things.
Is that a hint, Ms.
Editor? Of course not.
Now the moment you've been waiting for.
The announcement of the seven ladies who will comprise the Royal Court.
Princess three, number 119, Cara Gannon.
Number 381, Tiffany Ramos.
It's about time.
The freeway was shut down to one lane.
Princess four, number 400, Virginia Vanover.
Donna's gonna have a fit when she sees that her mom's here.
Typical Felice.
Show up for the glory.
Hmm, not exactly.
She's probably here to gloat when Donna loses.
Mm-hmm.
Princess five, number 132, Lisa Dixon.
Number six, number 512, Neda Shokrian.
I still can't believe she got this far.
And princess seven, number 675, Donna Martin.
Well, it looks like you're going to have to tell her now.
There I am.
It is you.
I knew it was you.
Why would you lie to me? The day after this picture was taken, I found out I was pregnant.
What? I was 19 years old, living at home with my parents.
Your father was in medical school.
We had to get married as quickly as we could.
I never told anyone.
Not my parents, not even my best friend.
And then, of course, I had to drop out of the competition because the tournament has rules about married girls participating.
That was 26 years ago.
What happened to the baby? I had a miscarriage.
Oh, Mom, I'm so sorry.
No, Donna, I'm the one who's sorry.
I wanted you to quit, too.
I didn't want you to find out what a fraud your mother is.
No, you're not a fraud.
Yes, I am.
I mean, how could I preach virginity when here I was, even younger than you, engaging in free love? What kind of a life lesson is that? I love the lessons you've taught me.
They're the best lessons.
You don't think I'm a hypocrite? You'd only be that if you hadn't told me the truth.
I love you so much.
I only want the very best for you.
I hope you believe that.
I do.
I love you, too, Mom.
Come on, come on.
Where do we put it? Put it in the foyer.
You're gonna put it in there? Why don't you just put a big sign on it that says C.
U.
Mascot? By the way, it's "foy-yea.
" "Foy-yea," whatever.
Listen.
Why don't you just chill and take orders, okay? Well, if it isn't the deserter.
Valerie, where the hell have you been? You're missing all the action.
I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to flake, but something came up.
Can you guys get by this year without me? You hear that, Corny? Valerie's deserting us.
What should I? Oh.
What did he say? He said, Valerie who? He's a fickle bird.
You guys thirsty? - There's some beer in the fridge.
- All righty.
So, uh, you okay? No.
Uh, something came up.
Oh, well, if it has anything to do with the club, I'll give you a hand.
No, actually, it's personal.
Um, I'm going to have to go out later.
It's no big deal.
Do you need a ride? No, I have to finish up some business.
Alone.
What kind of business? Old business.
Now are you going to give me the third degree, or are you going to kiss me? No, I'm going to give you the third degree.
I can't imagine what's so important.
Fine.
I thought you'd understand.
Understand what? You won't even tell me what's going on.
Look, David, could I have my personal life, please? I mean, do I have to tell you everything? Sorry.
Hi.
Come on in the car.
So, you ready to rock and stroll, Valerie? I'm not getting out of the car.
Of course you are.
Look, this guy likes to, uh, pick them up from the streets, all right? That's how he gets his little rush.
Come on, here we go.
Come on.
Aah Step lightly, me little lassie.
Uh Well, um, you know what I want you to do, right? Forget it.
I am not gonna parade around and shake my little moneymaker, - okay? - Oh, no, no, no.
Of course you're not.
I mean, these girls are, uh, they're too obvious.
What, what this guy wants, you know, is, uh, some attitude, right? So, you just kind of snuggle up to the old Cadillac here, show a little.
And you look like you are P.
O.
'd at somebody, all right? Great.
I can do that.
Listen, Valerie, I got your back all the way on this, all right? Now, with any kind of luck, this white limo's gonna be cruising by within the hour.
Look, you know me, I've done my homework.
Why? Because I'm a total professional.
Wait, I have to get in the car with him? Yeah.
No way! No! No way! Valerie, Valerie, no, no, no, listen, listen, listen, okay? The driver he's working with us.
He's gonna take you to the Bel Ami Hotel, because, uh, fun boy likes to impress the trash.
Oh, thanks for the compliment.
At-at the hotel, I've got a photographer placed there.
Catch him with his pants down.
Pop.
Pop.
Click.
Click.
We fold up the tent and on to our, uh, meaningful lives.
All right, who is this guy? Well, that's a secret, remember? But, uh, I don't know, we can call him the Duke.
And is there a "Duchess"? Oh, yeah, but she's hoping to become an ex-Duchess.
Or should I say a very rich ex-Duchess? The, uh, photos are well, they're for her.
What, you're working on a divorce case? Yeah.
- How cheesy.
- Wha This guy's a creep.
He's a wife beater, he deserves to be put away.
- Hi.
- Hi.
What's going on? What are you guys doing here? Kelly, your man is our deepest cover agent.
He's been working for the cause all week.
He has? It's no big deal.
I, uh, I oversaw the making of a counterfeit Cornelius J.
Condor in the art lab.
That's about it.
- You're kidding.
- Mm-hmm.
That's a decoy sitting in the Walsh Foyer.
Huh.
So, where's the real Corny? Hmm, I have no idea.
Oh! Hello? Joe? I thought you couldn't call.
Yeah, well, the guys are over at the Coach's for a chalk talk.
Donna, why didn't you tell me that you made the court? You heard? Yeah, I had to watch it on TV.
You looked so pretty, so excited.
Yeah, I was.
Hey, don't worry about me.
All right, everything works out for the best.
They do? Yeah.
You just have to keep faith.
That's what my dad always used to say, and he made a believer out of me.
I can't believe how calm you are.
Anything more happen with the police? Yeah, uh, the city attorney reviewed Ray's complaint and pressed formal charges.
I'm really sorry.
No one's supposed to know until Monday.
That's when I'm being arraigned.
Well, is there anything - I can do? - Yeah.
I'm sure my lawyer would love to talk to you tomorrow.
Oh.
Okay.
Sure, um any time.
I just have to be at the Tournament House in the afternoon.
Just tell him to call me.
Okay, I will.
Uh, his name is Bruce Paxton.
Look, I'd better get going.
I'll talk to you soon.
And, uh I really miss you, Donna.
I miss you, too.
You know, I don't get it.
Is it too much to ask? Can you at least stand up? Jonesy, my feet are killing me, okay? Face it, the white limo is not coming.
Well, you might be right.
I should probably pull the plug.
Terrific.
Jonesy, have a great life.
Sorry it didn't work out.
No, wait, wait.
Hold it, hold it, hold it.
You gotta trust me here.
Now this guy is a he's a, he's a creature of habit, all right? I think we should get one more night.
Besides, little girl, you owe me.
Sanders, I know I agreed to this little homecoming stunt, but could you please keep Muntz and company from dropping chips and beer nuts all over Hey, chill, man.
It'll all be over tonight.
You look like you could use some fun.
Why don't you hang out with us tonight? No.
I've got stuff to do at McKay's and a column to write.
Just don't turn my house into a frat sty.
He'll snap out of it.
Okay, well, thank you for coming in.
Whatever I can do.
Well, you're an eyewitness, Donna.
Your word carries lots of weight.
You know, I, uh, I was wondering what could happen to Joe if he's found guilty? Well, the maximum penalty is a $2,000 fine and six months in jail.
Don't worry about that.
After hearing your side of the story, I think we have a defense here; Joe was protecting you.
But the thing is, after Monday's arraignment, the fact that you were abused by your ex-boyfriend is going to become a matter of public record.
So, you ready for that? Yeah.
Are you sure? Yeah, I will be as soon as I tell my parents.
Steve, anything? Yes! Yes! We have liftoff.
Shh, Valerie's still sleeping.
Not anymore.
She's up.
Sort of.
Sorry, Val.
No, you're not.
What am I, invisible? Morning, David.
Hey, you want me to get you some juice or something? You look pretty wasted.
Oh, yeah, that would be great.
Thanks.
I guess I got in pretty late, huh? Yeah.
Well, I, I gave up calling after 1:30.
So, how'd it go? Listen, I don't want to talk about it.
Just don't make a big deal about it, okay? Well, whatever it was, I'm, uh, I'm glad it's over.
I'm gonna take you out tonight, so I don't want any arguments.
David, I can't go out tonight.
This business isn't finished.
I gotta know.
Um Is there a a guy involved? Just tell me that.
Please, no questions, okay? I mean, I'll be able to tell you someday.
I just can't tell you right now.
So there is a guy involved.
Yes, but it's not what you think.
What guy? Are you gonna get me juice or not? Do I know him? Why are you acting so jealous? I'm not jealous, all right? I'm just upset 'cause you won't be honest with me.
You know what? Forget about the juice.
Just forget about the good mornings.
Just leave me the hell alone, okay? I need a shower.
It's a nice outfit.
Who'd you wear this for? David, look, I have a headache, okay? It's not like we're married or something.
Just give me a little space here.
I'll give you tons of space.
You're acting so childish.
I really hate that.
How else can I act? It's not like I'm one of the guys who gets to be adult with you.
What's that supposed to mean? You know how you keep telling me to be patient with this relationship? Yeah.
Yeah, well, I think my patience just ran out.
Lisa.
- Hi.
- Hey.
- Want to grab a bite to eat? - Oh, I'd love to, but I've got to get straight to work.
I need to talk to my boss about my schedule.
I didn't realize there was gonna be so many fittings next week.
Well, if you ever need any help with anything, just ask.
I warn you, I'm not shy.
Who's that? That's Ray.
The Ray? Yeah.
I'll see you later.
No, no, no, I'm gonna wait right here for you.
Okay, thanks.
Hey, Donna.
How'd you know I was here? You could get the schedule for the Royal Court just by calling.
Look, I'm really happy for you.
I kind of feel like I've been there since the beginning of all this.
How can you stand there sweet-talking me when you are making my life and Joe's a living hell? Look, I gave you fair warning, and I'm gonna give you a second chance.
- What are you talking about? - My lawyer said there's no case against Joe if I don't testify.
So, what do you want me to do? Dump Joe and come running back to you? Is that so bad? We were happy, Donna.
No! No, we were living a lie.
And anything more between us makes that a bigger lie.
Now go ahead with your charges.
The truth will come out.
Yeah, it will.
I'll see you in court.
Hi.
Hi.
I was driving by and I saw your car.
What's in the bag? Good eats.
In case we get hungry.
Just driving by, huh? Okay.
I didn't think you should have to do this alone.
Shouldn't you be off guarding Cornelius J.
Condor or something? Brandon, you're not the only one who misses him.
Sorry.
It's just I've been, I've been coming here all week and checking his messages and getting his mail and I don't think he's ever coming back.
So, why do I bother? Because you're his friend, and you love him.
And that's not ever gonna change for you or for me.
Well I'm glad you came.
Good.
Do you want some help or not? Yes.
Fine, I want some help.
Good.
Hey.
How you doing? Okay, I'm gonna call you, all right? I will.
I promise.
Valerie? Where're you going? Don't be going anywhere.
What's the matter with you? Look, I'm going to get some coffee.
The guy can wait.
Let's get something clear, all right? You have a chance to share in a sizable bonus.
- So? - "So"? So don't forget we are playing hardball.
Come on, batter up, girl.
You know, this is all making me a little too hard.
I think I lost my boyfriend today.
Yeah, well, that might be for the best.
I mean, he's probably one of these guys who's just gonna fade when the chips are down.
You know, I can't believe I'm getting dating advice from a guy that Dylan told me travels with an inflatable doll.
See, right there, man.
Right there, right there.
Rumors, rumors, ru Wait a second.
Here we go.
Here we go.
Come on.
Uh-uh.
Shoo.
Shoo, shoo.
I got just the ticket for you tonight, sport.
I'm sorry.
I'm just looking for directions.
No, no.
Listen to me closely.
I can get you into paradise tonight.
Meet Heavenly.
Are you gonna leave me standing here, or can I come in? Well, I'm not sure I understand.
Let me make this real simple, okay? $200 an hour and she gets in your car.
Satisfaction guaranteed.
Guaranteed.
Police officer.
Hold it right there.
- Put your hands on the car.
- Ahh What's going on? We're cooked.
You're under arrest for violation 647B of the Penal Code of the state of California.
You have the right to remain silent.
If you choose to give up that right, everything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law.
Do you understand those rights? Yes.
Come on.
Easy, easy, easy! Aw.
I hate you.
You asked for it.
Hi, Susan.
Come on in.
I am in.
- This probably looks pretty strange.
- Yeah.
Oh, please, don't, uh, stop on my account.
Really, I just brought by these brownies.
I thought you might need a little sugar rush.
No, no, don't need that.
How are you at controlling a, uh, killer plastic robot? Oh, go ahead, really.
I don't need to play.
Oh, yes, you do, because I am late for a very important date, and I guess we got a little carried away here.
It's all my fault.
I never should've given Dylan this in the first place.
I can't believe he kept it.
Well, I'm gonna leave while I am still undefeated.
She lies.
Hey, Kel, thanks for all your help.
I-I appreciate it.
You're welcome.
Looks like Kelly got you out of your funk.
Yeah, well, she's a good friend.
I, uh, baked them myself.
Well, you know, I-I don't really deserve one.
I haven't, uh, written my column yet.
You know, I don't care.
I want to be a good friend, too.
Actually, I want to be a lot more than a good friend.
Hello.
David.
Valerie? I'm sleeping.
Good-bye.
Don't hang up, okay.
You're my one call.
What? Listen, just listen to me very carefully.
I need you to bail me out.
You're in jail? Can you get a thousand dollars in cash? What are you in jail for? I'm in Central Detention downtown.
I'll, uh, I'll tell you why later.
No, no, no, tell me now.
What'd they arrest you for? Prostitution.
What? You're serious? It was all a mistake.
Please, just hurry, okay? That's it, honey.
Everybody's waiting.
Here's your stuff, honey.
I'll get your walking papers.
Thank you.
Sure.
So, are you okay? Yeah.
I guess I really disappointed you.
I guess.
Listen, David, I want to explain.
Not now.
You know, Val, I can't help thinking You could've phoned anyone with that one call.
I mean Brandon, Steve, Nat But you called me.
Wasn't even close.
Why? You're the only one I can let see me like this.
I'm really embarrassed, David.
Don't be.
We'll handle it.
Oh Val! Well, here we are.
I was just, uh, getting to you.
Well, you're a little late.
Listen, I am so sorry, putting you through what you had to go through, but, uh Oh, Val, you gotta look at the bright side of things, huh? Well, I hope you pulled some strings.
Strings? I pulled the whole rope.
Now, uh, all the charges have been dropped and, uh, your record is clean.
- Who is this clown? - Clown? - Yeah.
- Why? Are you laughing? David! David, listen.
Wait.
This is Jay J.
Jones.
- David? - Yeah.
Detective, um he's a friend of Dylan's.
And a friend of yours, Val.
So, uh this is the, uh, new boyfriend, huh? I've heard all about you.
Yeah, I'm sorry, I can't say the same.
Well, I'm sure our gal Val will fill you in.
You see, kid, we were on a mission last night, fighting for the forces of good.
But unfortunately, uh we lost.
So I noticed.
What happened? What happened? Well, apparently the Duke got wind of our little sting through a friend of his wife and decided to sting us instead.
Well, it worked.
Yeah.
But I'm happy to report that I got half the money up front.
Of course, I'm sad to report that little lady won't be seeing any of the bonus.
Well, that's all right, because I already got my bonus a guy who doesn't fade.
Thanks for agreeing to see me.
Make this quick.
We got a pregame meeting over at the field.
Okay, I can make it quick.
Look, I just don't want you or the other guys to be mad at Joe because of me.
Yeah, sure.
No problem.
See ya.
Please.
I don't think you understand, and I didn't understand until yesterday.
Understand what? I don't think Joe told you the whole story about what went down Halloween night.
We heard enough.
Look, the night that Joe broke curfew, he wasn't partying.
He was protecting me from an abusive ex-boyfriend.
He was scared that I was in danger and I was.
I'm sorry.
He really should've said something.
Yeah, well, I think he was more concerned about my reputation than anything else, and I think that's the same reason why he's such a great leader on the field.
'Cause he's more concerned about everyone else than himself.
So You'll have to forgive her guys.
I think she's laying it on a little thick.
I don't think so.
A.
K.
, you're team captain.
Am I exaggerating about Joe? No.
I think she's dead on.
All right, Condors! Okay Okay, well, it's game day.
Right on.
The big question on everybody's lips other than are we gonna win is - Where's Corny?! - Where's Corny?! Yeah! Where's Corny? Exactly.
So if you'll take a look at the big screen behind me, you'll find out.
Not exactly.
Uh-uh, uh-uh.
In case you may have heard that Corny was being paraded around the S.
C.
U.
campus, well it's not true.
It's not true.
The real Corny is right here! All right, let's give it up for my Condor Commandos! We've got Clare Arnold.
Stand up, Clare.
We have Kelly Taylor.
We have Assistant Professor Colin Robbins and a host of others who didn't do enough to get singled out.
And Madman Muntz.
Go! Condors! - Go! - Condors! - Condors! - Go! - Go! - Condors! All right! What a catch! What a start to this important Pac-10 game.
That 42-yard reception leaves the Bears within breathing room of another touchdown.
It's been four minutes of football that the Condor fans would rather forget, The whole team is definitely looking for a wake-up call that has not come.
And here go the Bears, first and goal.
The snap Kreuscher drifts back to pass.
Look out, there's the Condor's number 55, A.
K.
Carson, bearing down on him.
Kreuscher is sacked! What a hit.
You got your column? Yeah, you gave it to me a couple of days ago.
Really? What's your lead? "Friendship sucks.
" You're writing about Dylan, aren't you? Yeah.
Save a copy for him.
You never know.
Coach Lyons is sending in a play from the sidelines.
And here we go.
That's fourth and seven.
The Condors are forced to punt.
There's a snap.
The kick's away It looks good.
Bears take it at their own 32.
The Condors have to consider themselves lucky, That's the truth.
The whole team looks lost without Bradley.
The Condor fans with that Joe Bradley Can we, uh, turn off the game for a second? There's something I need to tell you and Mom.
Yeah, sure.
It's about why Joe isn't playing in the game today, but more than that, it's about me and Ray.
I thought I could avoid telling you guys, but I have to.
It's kind of like how you had to tell me your secret, Mom.
Okay, what is it, sweetheart? Mom Dad this is really hard for me.
There was something really terrible going on between me and Ray.
He was hurting me.
What? You mean, physically? Yeah.
Oh, Donna.
Look, if you don't mind, I don't really want to get into the details.
It's just kind of humiliating.
I just wanted you guys to know that I'm okay.
Palm Springs.
You didn't fall down those stairs, did you? No.
Here I was going on about how much he loved you.
We couldn't understand why the two of you weren't together anymore.
He seemed like such a good kid all summer long on the boat.
I never would have guessed.
Well, it didn't happen all the time, but when it did, it was kind of bad.
I'm sorry.
It's okay, Mom.
I'm sorry.
Anyway I just I wanted you guys to know why Joe wasn't playing today.
It's because he protected me when Ray tried to do this again.
And now he might go to jail for it.
Oh, no, we're not gonna let that happen.
Donna, we're gonna do everything we can.
We're gonna stand behind you and Joe all the way.
Absolutely.
Thank you.
Sweetheart, I don't want you ever to feel afraid to tell me anything.
Same goes for you, Mom.
Oh, you.
Nat, I need two mega burgers and an order of fried zucchini.
Done.
Oh, spread the word in honor of the 35 points that the Condors scored in the second half, I'm taking 35% off of everything on the menu.
Nat, what's gotten into you? I can remember a time, and it wasn't so long ago, that everything would be on the house.
Hey, if I did that for every C.
U.
victory this season, I'd be out of business.
This team's going to the Rose Bowl! Rose Bowl! Rose Bowl! Rose Bowl! Rose Bowl! Rose Bowl! Rose Bowl! Rose Bowl's a definite possibility now.
That was a huge win.
I knew those guys could pull it off.
Yeah, the team wouldn't quit.
Quit? Are you kidding? They smoked those Bears.
Maybe they play better with Mac as quarterback.
Well, I wouldn't worry.
I think it's just like your father says, things always work out for the best.
Yeah, well, I hope that applies to the case, too.
I'm so exhausted, I need a vacation.
Well, Thanksgiving will take care of that.
Oh, no, no, no, there'll be no rest for Steve on Thanksgiving.
We're having dinner at Casa Walsh.
So, book early, kids.
Count me in.
How about you, Colin? You up for a little left-coast feast? I meant to tell you, I'm going back to New York for the holiday.
You are? Well, you're no fun.
You should tell that to Susan.
She's going to New York, too.
Okay, go Big Apple on us.
I think we can get along without them.
Do you think we can? I think we can.
Rose Bowl! Rose Bowl! Rose Bowl! Rose Bowl! Rose Bowl! Rose Bowl! Rose Bowl! Rose Bowl! Rose Bowl! Rose Bowl! Rose Bowl! Rose Bowl! Rose Bowl! Rose Bowl, Rose Bowl! You know, you haven't asked me a single question about what happened.
I uh, don't really care anymore.
You're the only one who believes in me.
And I always will.
