Melrose Place s06e11 Episode Script
Everybody Comes to Kyle's
1 I noticed a bottle of tranquilizers in your purse tonight.
Just what the hell were you doing snooping through my purse? I was concerned that you might have a problem.
Well, it's not a problem.
It's just a leftover prescription.
The bottle's dated last week.
Cooper's the prescribing doctor.
So, I called him.
You talked to Cooper about me behind my back? He said that you're drug-dependent.
That's a lie! Is it? You know what, I was wrong, I do have a problem.
It's that I trusted you.
And I thought you trusted me.
I'm sorry I didn't talk to you first Yeah, well, sorry doesn't cut it.
The last thing I need is another doctor controlling my life.
You know what, I make my own decisions.
Thank you very much.
I just want you to get off of this stuff.
Hey, you have your Scotch, I'm allowed my pills.
The difference is I don't need my Scotch.
I don't need the pills either, and I don't need any more of this conversation.
Lexi You know what, I'm going to bed.
Alone.
And in the future, you'll kindly stay out of my purse and my business! Taylor: Kyle, wait a second.
Wait.
Don't go.
Kyle, come back.
Look, look, come on.
We should never have done it.
I was drunk.
Well, you weren't that drunk.
Come on, Taylor, this is embarrassing.
All right? Come on.
I just I don't want anybody to know about this.
Well, no problem.
I won't tell anyone.
It'll be our little secret.
Kyle, come on.
Come on, baby, make love to me just one more time.
It wasn't love, Taylor.
I know, but it was a start.
And if we can just find our way back to that place we used to have, Kyle, I know I could make you happy again.
Forget it.
This is more important.
What is it? Kyle, it's Amanda.
I can't sleep.
And how does that concern me? Would you stop being angry long enough to listen to reason? Reason? Well, I, I'm sure what you did was a reasonable business decision.
I did not sleep with Eric.
Why can't you believe me? I've never lied to you.
No, you never stopped lying to me! You never stopped lying to me, just like you never stopped using your body to get what you want.
You know what? You use your body, and you use people.
Amanda, you are a user.
We're all users.
I'm coming over there right now.
We have to be rational about this.
We have to talk like adults Get out.
Get out! Ah, I should've known you were up there.
Call me crazy, but I really don't think he wants to see you right now.
You're in my way.
Look at the luggage under your eyes.
Oh, Amanda, you really should get some more sleep.
Thanks for your concern.
Now, if you'll excuse me.
By the way, tomorrow the restaurant and the club are reopening, and we're having a little celebration.
Did Kyle mention it? I guess it slipped his mind.
Well, we've been up all night getting ready for it.
But just because he didn't invite you to the party tomorrow night, doesn't mean he doesn't want you there necessarily.
I'll make sure to ask him about it.
Trust me, you really shouldn't go up there right now.
We kind of made a mess, I'm afraid.
But I do hope you come to the party tomorrow night.
After all, saving the building, it's really your triumph more than anyone's, isn't it? More than yours, you pathetic little parasite.
When the world melts away And thoughts come past of yesterday And all the times you still have time for Shades of gray may compromise The things that shifted black and white But lately that's not a problem anymore You've got to pay less notice to the things That cloud your focus Hey, hey, hey, hey hey, hey Don't believe what I say See for yourself Every single day When your hope wears thin Grow a thicker skin Don't apologize for anything 'Cause you can't Sleep all right? The spare bed was a little hard.
I didn't have a great night either.
Maybe you should've taken a pill.
I'm sorry I went through your purse, and for discussing your case with Coop.
Okay, you're sorry.
I thought that you had a problem.
I thought that you needed help.
You don't help someone by prying like that.
All right, I won't pry.
But I want you to promise me you won't go to Coop anymore.
Not for medicine.
Not for anything.
From now on, you come to me.
Deal? Okay.
You're my man now.
Not to mention, my doctor.
And I was thinking about adding employer to the list.
You want to work in the office? Trust me, it's a job that you don't want.
The last two ex-receptionists are dead, and the third one just got out of a coma.
And all three were married to Michael.
It's a high-risk proposition any way you look at it.
Actually, I had something else in mind.
Remember, we were talking about redecorating your condo? Well, I do have a degree in design, I need something to sort of jumpstart me out of this slump that Coop's put me in.
So, I was kind of thinking Oh, great.
Mi condo es su condo.
Really? You mean it? Absolutely.
I mean, I know you have good taste.
Look who you've chosen to adorn your bed.
Oh, no, you don't.
Back in bed, honey.
Wait, I was just gonna take a shower.
Well, no.
You're in no condition.
You stay right where you are.
I'll give you a sponge bath after breakfast, hmm? Aren't you being a little bit over protective? No, I am not! You just came out of a coma, for God sakes, I don't want you slipping back in.
Could that happen? You never know with these things.
But you can rest assured I'm gonna monitor you very closely.
Michael, you've been so wonderful, I don't know what to say.
Well, don't say a word.
Just work on getting your strength back.
And follow doctor's orders, that's me.
Now, while I get breakfast, I want you to visualize staying in bed for a few months, and feeling good about it.
Hello, Michael.
I'd like to see Megan.
Well, you can't.
She's very weak and recuperating very slowly.
You know what? That's bull! She made one of the quickest recoveries I've ever seen.
And you know what, I'm the one who ought to know.
But then again, I suppose you forgot to tell her that it was me who sat with her coaxing her back to the living, while you were too busy to bother.
Yeah, too busy tossing you out of her room! Look, I told her everything she needs to know.
Beyond that, it's none of your damn business.
I'm gonna see her.
I already told you, no visitors.
I'm hardly a visitor.
Well, if you're not a visitor, and you're not her doctor, and you're not her husband, you must've showed up at the wrong house.
All right, you know what, I'm not gonna cause a scene and upset Megan just to teach you a lesson.
But you haven't heard the last from me, Mancini.
Amanda? Hi.
We met at the wedding.
I'm Connie, Sam's college roommate.
Right.
Hi.
Sam's not here right now.
I know, she went to Hawaii with your top gun.
But the cavalry has arrived.
Oh, thank God.
I was afraid she forgot about these.
And the client needs them for a big meeting in Seattle in three days.
Oh, she wouldn't forget anything that important.
Something looks different though.
I did touch them up a little.
They're good.
Well, it's nothing Sam wouldn't have done herself, if she had the time.
So, you're just in town for a few days? I thought I might stick around for a while.
Maybe look for some work.
Well, you know, Sam really left at the wrong time.
We're swamped here.
What would you say to a temp job? Oh, I don't know if that's such a good idea.
I mean, Sam leaves for one day, and I just step in.
It's only temporary.
Besides I have to hire someone to run copies.
Copying is what I do best.
Okay, here we are.
Serenity suite.
You call this a suite? Uh, maybe you should check the brochure a little closer next time.
Yeah, see it was a package deal.
Well, uh, this is the deluxe package.
There is the expansive sitting room.
There is the elegant patio.
And this is our luxurious queen-size bed, handmade by native craftsmen.
Mmm.
Thanks.
I think everything will suit us fine.
Extra fine, I guarantee it.
Oh, and I'd be happy to give you a tour of all of our activities which include tide pooling, sand castle classes, and bar bingo.
Okay, I think we'll just take our chances here in the room for a while.
My name is Ray and if you need anything at all Okay, Ray.
Just beat it.
Mmm.
I think there's only one activity that interests me right now.
Michael, I have to say I'm amazed at how caring you've become.
Well, it's a side of myself I don't show to everyone.
Or anyone, for that matter.
Yeah, well, I'm glad you've shown me.
Well, now, look, you get some rest.
I'm gonna go sleep on the couch.
But I've left this little bell by your bedside, so if you need anything, you ring it.
If you need anything at all.
Okay? Michael, wait.
You know, I've gotten, sort of, used to you being by my bedside night after night, I I kind of count on it now.
I've been happy to do it.
The thing is, there's a comfortable couch in the next room, and I have to sleep somewhere else beside the bedside chair.
Hey, comas can be very demanding on caregivers, too, you know.
Mmm.
Good night.
Michael, there's a comfortable bed right here in this room.
I mean, you could sleep here.
You could sleep with me.
Megan.
I don't want to get you over excited, but if you think, you know, physical intimacy will help in your rehab, then Oh.
No, no, no.
I'm not taking about having sex with you.
Yet.
Oh, no.
Of course not.
I didn't mean that.
See, what I was saying was that I just, I just wanna be close to you tonight.
I just want you to hold me.
Sure.
I would like a refill.
I think you've had enough, boss.
You know what, I think you're right.
I've had just about enough of everything, but I would like a refill.
So, what will it be? Bourbon and water.
Can you believe this? A memo to the entire surgical department endorsing the cauterizing glove.
And Michael is getting all the credit.
Why shouldn't he? It's his invention after all.
Oh, yeah.
He's a regular Thomas Edison.
I just hope there's no conflict of interest because he's chief of staff, that's all we need, is some yahoo with a grudge dragging us under on some legal technicality.
Haven't seen you around much lately.
I've been busy.
So I hear.
I don't know what you think you mean.
But I'm getting tired of every idiot in this town assuming Uh, excuse me, can I have your attention, please? Thank you, ladies and gentlemen.
I would like to take this opportunity to welcome you here tonight to help us celebrate our reopening.
But, but first, first, I think that special thanks are warranted to Amanda Woodward, a woman whose tireless efforts made this event possible, and when I say tireless, I mean, there were nights that she worked all night long.
Right, Amanda? Whatever it took, no penthouse too high, no sink pit too low, nothing.
Nothing kept her from throwing herself into her work, heart in hand, so let's hear it for Amanda Woodward, the queen of give and take.
And put out and take some more.
We're open tonight because because her motto is, "Always open.
" Drive safely! Enjoy the evening.
Mmm, hey, you Almost like the old days, isn't it? No, it's different.
You really saved my life this time.
Hey, no, you're the one who took the knife in the belly for me.
Well, I guess we're made for each other.
Megan.
Hmm? You don't know what it means to me to hear you say that.
Mmm.
Oh, man, I've acted so badly, I've disrespected you.
I've been a hound.
But you never gave up.
You never lost faith in that good guy inside me.
You know what? I swear I'm gonna stick by you in this.
I'm gonna see you through this.
I'm gonna do whatever it takes to get you well, no matter how long.
No matter how very, very long.
You have to stay here.
Oh, Michael.
Mmm.
Mmm.
Hello.
Hey, sweetie, how's it going back there? Mrs.
Campbell.
Well, it must be one hell of a lousy honeymoon if the best thing you have to do is call this dump.
Oh, nice talk.
I was just calling and checking in and seeing if everything was all right.
Mmm, I'm better than that.
As a matter of fact, I got a temp job at your agency.
You're kidding.
Hmm-mmm.
Man, what a fabulous place to work.
Ah, you're so lucky.
You've got a great job, great life, Billy.
Ah, he's all right if you like his type.
Hi, Connie.
Bye, Connie.
Sorry, we got to go! Hmm, her master's voice.
Well, go on, back to your beast.
I'll try not to burn anything down back here.
All right.
Thanks, hon.
I'll talk to you when we get home.
Bye.
Bye.
What's wrong? Oh, nothing.
She's not gonna be, you know, still hanging out at our place when we get back, is she? Well, not for too long, anyway.
But she doesn't know where she's gonna live, and her relationship with Charlie is on the rocks.
Her life is a mess.
Honey, you gotta stop doing this.
You know, you keep putting yourself out for these wounded strays, and then they bite you in the hand.
Connie doesn't bite, she just salivates.
You mean, like I do whenever I see you.
Mmm, so sweet.
Not at all.
Hey, Kyle.
We've got some extra steamed clams downstairs, I could serve them up here as freebies.
No, you've got to watch out for the woman who gives it away free, you never know what she really wants.
Well, I want you, baby, there's no surprise there.
You've got to watch out for the woman who knows what she really wants, she'll take it from you and leave you bleeding on the floor.
That sounds like Amanda's M.
O.
You know, Kyle, you deserve better than that.
That would be what? You? Oh, damn straight, it would be.
What was that all about? True romance.
Right.
It reminds me of the old days.
You and Taylor had a fight, you'd come howling at my door.
Only this time, Amanda burned you.
So you're using Taylor to feel good.
Yeah, and I feel just great.
Good evening, gentlemen.
Or boys, as the case may be.
Actually, we're businessmen having an emergency meeting in a jazz club because one of our partners refuses to give up her dynamic career as a barmaid.
Bartender! Whatever! The point is, the Mancini Glove Company was showing a 10% growth in profits until you and Craig stopped being a couple.
And this is my fault? Okay.
I'm not here to lay blame.
I'm merely pointing out that a new company is a fragile organism.
It's very delicate.
It's like, well, it's like a snowflake.
And my little snowflake is turning into slush because you two idiots are pouting like high school kids.
She's acting like a juvenile.
Oh, yeah.
Sleeping with a stewardess was so mature? She was an assistant hotel manager.
Enough! Now, as Chief Medical Officer of this company, I order you two to have dinner together.
Patch this mess up and make it work.
Why bother? Hello, are you sure you're my little sister? Why bother is so we can all get rich.
That's why.
Hey.
Oh, Peter, I'm so glad you're finally home.
I've got a million things to show you.
Now, I had the wall and the carpet people here today, and I want you to look at these swatches and tell me what you think.
It doesn't really matter what I think, I'm just the client here, kid.
Oh, I love it when you talk up to me, it makes me feel like a corporation.
You never know, if this works out, you know, you can use the condo as a showcase.
Start a little business, make a little money.
I've got all the money I need.
This isn't about money, this is about all that other stuff.
Oh.
Like, work, and love, and And wine.
Why don't you get us a glass? I'll go freshen up.
You want red or white? Peter, the charge nurse just told me you were covering Dr.
Shulman's patients for a couple of weeks.
How's Megan doing? It's her CAT scan right here.
She's doing fine.
If she's not back to normal activities by now, she should be.
You know what, you can't tell anyone that, okay? Especially Megan.
What are you up to now? Well, I just think we should move slowly here, you know, not push it too fast.
So, you can turn her into an invalid.
All right, all right, I'm trying to salvage our relationship.
I don't need you getting all judgmental on me.
I'll tell you what I'll do.
I'll downplay Megan's improvement, tell her she has to be cautious, but I need you to do me a favor.
And what would that be? Lexi's a professional decorator now.
I'd like you to let her do the interior design in your new glove offices.
No, forget it.
We don't have the extra money to spend on frills like that.
What if she donated her services for free, in exchange for using it as a showcase? Free? Done.
And I'd also appreciate that you not mention that I asked you for the favor.
You must've really fallen for this woman if you're going around being her manager now.
Tell you what, Michael, at my age, I don't know, I look around, I see what I have to show for all of my troubles.
I have a nice condo, stock portfolio, broken marriages.
I don't know, maybe I haven't worked hard enough at it before, I just don't wanna screw this one up like I did my other relationships.
Who? Amanda and Taylor? Don't beat yourself up over those nutcases.
Nobody can make it work with them.
Amanda was addicted to work, Taylor Was addicted to me.
Oh, what the hell.
Maybe you attract addictive personalities.
You're the enabler.
You play along.
But hey, my little sister could've told you this from reading Cosmo.
Dr.
Owens, 5725.
These are terrific.
When did you find the time to do them? I stayed up last night.
Just fleshing out Sam's work mostly.
Well, they're right on the money for the Seattle meetings.
If only I had the time to go, everything would be just fine.
Mmm.
Pretty busy, huh? Yeah, computer glitches, nervous clients, executive turf wars I mean, I don't need a 40-hour week, I need a 40-hour day.
Why don't you let Billy go to Seattle? Well, that's a thought, but the last I looked, he was still gallivanting in Hawaii.
He's back tomorrow.
You could have him just stop there on the way back home.
No.
I need him here right away.
I could send Sam though.
Really? You think so? Well, she knows the artwork, she has a clear vision of the product, and everyone at the client's office is hip and under 30.
I'm sure they'll relate to her.
She might be just perfect.
Well, give the girl the news.
Call her right now.
I think I'll call her right now.
I wish I had a friend like you.
Amanda, they told me you were in a conference, and I didn't wanna walk in on anything too personal.
I don't have time for recreational insults right now, Taylor.
Oh, actually, this is a good deed.
Kyle's finding it really hard being your partner any more.
You might have picked up on that during his little speech the other night.
So, he'd like you to sell your half of the club.
Oh, it sounds like pure Taylor bull to me.
I'll believe it when I hear it from Kyle.
Oh, well, believe it.
He can't even look at you let alone talk to you after what you've done.
Goodbye, Taylor.
The thing is, Kyle and I kind of have a long history together, enduring, you might say.
So, that's the other reason why I'm here.
I wanna buy your half of the club.
It'll be a cold day in hell before I give anything of mine to you.
But, Amanda, you've already given me Kyle.
No, no, he just called me out of the blue.
He said that you mentioned to him I was a designer.
And so he asked me to come down to the glove offices and he just gave me the job.
Oh, that's terrific.
Yeah.
But because they're a new company, they don't have any money to pay me, but I told them I'd work for free.
Good, smart.
So, Lexi, there's something I wanna talk to you about.
And that's very important, I'm sure, I just have one more piece of really great news to tell you first.
What's that? Okay, close your eyes.
Lexi No, no, no, no.
Please.
Close your eyes.
Okay.
Okay.
Now, I'm going to turn you around.
Okay, there, now.
Open sesame.
Well? What? It's going to be my new interior design shop.
Yeah.
The lease is up next month and they promised to tell me just as soon as the place was ready.
Oh, Peter, I'm so happy.
My life is on track.
This is just what I needed, and it was all because of you.
You.
Now.
Okay, what was it you wanted to tell me? Pales in comparison to your news.
Mmm.
I'll get Bobby on it right away, boss.
Great.
Nice to see you down here for a change.
Just ordering some desserts for upstairs.
Well, speaking of upstairs, Amanda told me she wants to sell out.
But the problem is she doesn't know how to tell you.
Yeah, well, there are a lot of things that she doesn't know how to tell me, but that's old news.
Well, the new news is that the restaurant's doing so well that I have the money to buy out her share of the club.
What makes you think that I want you for a partner? Because it would be good business, that's why.
So, I think you should tell her to sell, and then we'll all be happy.
Sure.
Why not? Yay! Okay, I saw someone else, you saw someone else, that seems fair to me.
I don't want fair, Craig, I want caring.
You can't just make up the rules as you go along.
You don't get to be the king.
Fine.
Who would you like me to be? Okay, uh, I want you to be a lover, a partner, a friend.
You know, it always comes down to marriage for a woman, doesn't it? I don't want a ring, I don't need the paper.
Then what? A commitment, all right? I mean, is that such a horrible thing? A full-on, eight-cylinder commitment.
It's a deal breaker.
Why? Look, the last time that I loved someone all the way, she was ripped out of my life.
I can't afford to let myself go through that again.
Not even a possibility.
We all lose things we love, Craig.
And we just have to keep starting over.
That's what life is all about.
I'm sorry.
Craig, you have to keep caring.
You have to stay open or you'll wither up and die inside.
If I lost someone that I loved again, it would kill me.
So, what's the difference? What if you loved and you didn't lose? What if love wasn't a sport? What if it was just a beautiful thing that you got to feel inside? Just as long as you asked nicely and you didn't hurt someone.
I don't know, maybe some day.
All right, big shot.
You didn't like my deal, so, make me a counter offer.
Why don't we just sleep together when we are lonely, and try not to hurt each other? I'll take it.
For now.
Coop.
Hi.
You scared me.
Michael's Michael's not here.
I know, he's at the hospital.
You're the one I wanted to see.
Oh.
I'm thrilled.
Don't get me wrong.
I've just been, sort of, housebound these days.
You don't have to be, you know.
What do you mean? Megan, Michael's been exaggerating your weakness to keep you under his thumb.
No, Michael wouldn't do that.
He loves me.
Look how he sat by my bedside when I was in a coma.
That was me, Megan.
I whispered to you.
I held your hand.
I pulled you back.
Uh No.
No, Michael would not have lied to me about something like that.
No? Why don't you ask him what music he played for you in the hospital? Because I can tell you.
I picked those CDs because they were your favorites.
Joni Mitchell, and the Pachelbel Canon in "D.
" I thought I dreamed that music.
Hey, what the hell are you doing here? I just came by to make sure Megan's feeling better.
Well, she was, until you showed up to stress her out.
Call me if you need anything.
Yeah, she needs you to get out of her hair! You can't shut out the truth, Michael.
Michael, he says he's the one that pulled me through, not you.
Oh, yeah.
Well, he tried to keep me from seeing you, until I got him thrown off the case.
Megan, that man has a screw loose.
I mean, he's got this fixation about coma patients, first Kimberly and now you.
But don't you worry, I'm gonna make sure he doesn't mess with your mind.
You're my wife and I love you.
And I don't want anything to come between us.
Michael, did you do little things for me when I was unconscious, like comb my hair or play music? Yeah, sure.
I did all that kind of stuff.
And what kind of music did you play? I don't know.
Little of this, little of that.
Do you know what my favorite music is? Mmm, not yet, sweetheart.
But I'll make it my business to find out.
Come here.
So, I hear you want out of the jazz club? I don't care much either way.
Fine.
Let's just make it easy on each other.
Why don't you sell your interest? Is that what you want? Oh, yeah.
I mean, you were never that much into the club anyway, right.
Just using it to hide your money.
Well, you don't need to hide your money anymore.
Well, I guess the less we see of each other the better.
I agree completely, and since Taylor is willing to buy your share, it makes it much simpler.
You can do what you want with Taylor, you usually do.
I'm not interested in selling my share though.
You can have it, for free.
No, don't do me any favors.
I wouldn't dream of it.
I don't want anything to do with your ventures, much less profit from them.
Signing it over on a piece of junk mail seems appropriate, don't you think? Billy: So, you're gonna call me from Seattle tonight, right? Samantha: Yes.
What time are you gonna be in? Late.
Oh, honeymoon's over.
Not by a long shot.
What are you talking about? I'm gonna miss you.
No, you're not.
You'll be all full of your meetings.
That's me.
Kicking people off the corporate ladder left and right.
If I don't watch out, you're gonna be more successful than me by Thursday.
I already married better than you.
Bye.
Bye.
I love you.
Michael: Gold leaf on the molding? Do you know that is in out-of-pocket costs? Michael, we need some style.
We need to create an image here.
We need to spend money to make money.
Oh, yeah? Well, where I come from you spend money to spend money.
Okay, well, there's some very nice gold paint that wouldn't cost as much.
Paint looks like paint.
I think Craig's right.
Oh, I'm so glad you two are cozy again, so we could all room together at the poorhouse.
All these design decisions can be so taxing.
But then again, it's a little like arranging deck chairs on the Titanic at this point.
Uh-huh.
What are you talking about? Consider yourself served.
I'm suing the Mancini Glove Company.
For what? For stealing my idea.
And you're going down for it.
This is ridicul This is ridiculous.
I didn't steal a thing.
Yeah, you just had the idea yourself after I told you about it.
Michael, is that true? No, it's not true.
It's a scam.
Because if this is a crooked investment scheme Hey, my brother may be slimy, but he's no crook.
Thanks, that's very supportive.
Look, I'm trying to get a job done here.
You're timing couldn't be worse.
Yeah, you're breaking my heart.
You bastard.
Don't believe a word he says.
I'm glad someone has faith in me.
Oh, I have faith, Michael.
In the court system.
See you there.
Oh.
When did you get home? Uh, just now.
Yeah.
Sorry, didn't mean to scare you.
That's okay.
Um, where's Sam? She actually had a business meeting up in Seattle, she's not gonna be back for a couple of days.
Great.
I mean, great opportunity.
Well, welcome home to you then.
I'm gonna take a shower, hit the hay, been traveling all day.
Sure.
Oh, do you want some dinner? Hello.
Connie, how's it going? Mrs.
Campbell, I presume.
Hey, girl, I hear you're a young, rising executive.
Oh, man, I am so exhausted.
I've been in meetings all day.
Yeah? So, what, do you get to have affairs with your secretary? You're gonna keep Billy barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen? Barefoot and bare ass, whenever I can.
So, is he there yet? Why? Are you worried he's tomcatting around already? Uh, no, that's not Billy.
Um, well, given the opportunity, that's every Billy I've ever known.
Connie, you're gonna find the right guy someday.
Just like I did, I promise.
So, is my guy home yet? No, not yet.
Oh.
All right.
Well, I'm sure he'll be home soon.
Just tell him to call me tomorrow.
I'll make sure he gets the message.
Okay, great.
I'm too tired to talk now, anyway.
I'll see you when I get back.
I'll be here.
Right here.
Michael, I made Craig sink every penny he had into our company.
It's the foundation of our relationship.
And good evening to you, too.
Can the small talk.
Now, if Coop wins this suit, it's over.
So, I gotta know, Michael, did you or did you not steal his idea for a cauterizing glove? Jennifer, I'm absolutely, 100% not guilty.
There is a touch of larceny in our gene pool, you know.
If you're referring to dad, I'll have you know that kind of thing skips a generation.
I'm referring to Gramps.
Jennifer, you are family, I would never, ever lie to you.
In fact it troubles me that you'd even consider it.
Let's not get carried away, shall we? Carried away because my sister's thinking of bailing on me? I'm sorry, I've got to get some air.
Hey, should you be up? Yeah, I can manage on my own.
Listen, I wanna ask you something, um did Coop play music for me when I was in the hospital? Yeah, he asked me to bring over your favorite CDs.
He said that he wanted to play them for you in your coma.
He said that music goes deep into the psyche, it has true healing effects.
He was actually very poetic about it, for a doctor.
Peter: Hello.
Peter, uh, it's Megan.
Megan, are you all right? Yeah, I'm fine.
Look, I'm sorry to bother you, but you're one of the few people that would know.
Did anyone keep a vigil over me when I was in the hospital? Uh, well, I would say Coop was watching you pretty closely.
And what about Michael? Well, I'm sure Michael was there, too, but you know, he's been very busy with his Chief of Staff responsibilities.
And what about my condition right now? Is, is it as fragile as Michael suggests? Megan, you're a healthy, young woman, you ought to be getting up and around by now.
So Well, if I were you I would probably take.
Michael's warning with a large grain of salt.
Thank you, Peter.
Bye.
What? Take me back to our apartment, will you? Sure.
What about Michael? I don't know any Michael.
I don't think I ever knew him.
Lexi: Yeah, I understand.
It's over.
It's done.
What is it? What's the matter? Well, that was Craig.
And the design of the glove office has been put on hold, pending litigation.
Oh, I heard about the lawsuit at the hospital Isn't it ironic how Coop's destroying my life all over again? What, does he have a vendetta against me? I don't really think that he's really after you in this case.
It's a minor setback.
You'll find another Oh.
Lexi, Lexi, you're an addict.
You need help.
That's pretty, calling me names, that's really gonna help! Lexi, please, stop! Come here.
Come here.
Look at yourself.
Look at yourself.
Lexi Lexi! Get away from me! You don't know me.
You don't even care who I am! I do care.
I love you.
I wanna help.
Well, you're just another power-tripping doctor.
This isn't you! This is the drugs talking! This is me! Don't you wish it weren't? Lexi! Lexi, listen, would you just listen to me, please? I don't want you Lexi! I want you to pull the car over.
You just hate it that you can't control me, don't you? This has nothing to do with control! I just want you to pull the car over.
Please.
Yeah, that's why your marriage hit the rocks, isn't it? 'Cause you're always right there trying to control her every move, huh? You're like a dog with a bone, you just won't let go.
Not when someone that I love is in trouble.
What was that? What was what? It sounded like we hit something.
Stop the car! What are you talking about? Stop the car! What is it? What do you see? Oh.
Hold me.
Why don't you go on inside? I'll park the car in the garage.
I'll be right in.
Blood.
Just what the hell were you doing snooping through my purse? I was concerned that you might have a problem.
Well, it's not a problem.
It's just a leftover prescription.
The bottle's dated last week.
Cooper's the prescribing doctor.
So, I called him.
You talked to Cooper about me behind my back? He said that you're drug-dependent.
That's a lie! Is it? You know what, I was wrong, I do have a problem.
It's that I trusted you.
And I thought you trusted me.
I'm sorry I didn't talk to you first Yeah, well, sorry doesn't cut it.
The last thing I need is another doctor controlling my life.
You know what, I make my own decisions.
Thank you very much.
I just want you to get off of this stuff.
Hey, you have your Scotch, I'm allowed my pills.
The difference is I don't need my Scotch.
I don't need the pills either, and I don't need any more of this conversation.
Lexi You know what, I'm going to bed.
Alone.
And in the future, you'll kindly stay out of my purse and my business! Taylor: Kyle, wait a second.
Wait.
Don't go.
Kyle, come back.
Look, look, come on.
We should never have done it.
I was drunk.
Well, you weren't that drunk.
Come on, Taylor, this is embarrassing.
All right? Come on.
I just I don't want anybody to know about this.
Well, no problem.
I won't tell anyone.
It'll be our little secret.
Kyle, come on.
Come on, baby, make love to me just one more time.
It wasn't love, Taylor.
I know, but it was a start.
And if we can just find our way back to that place we used to have, Kyle, I know I could make you happy again.
Forget it.
This is more important.
What is it? Kyle, it's Amanda.
I can't sleep.
And how does that concern me? Would you stop being angry long enough to listen to reason? Reason? Well, I, I'm sure what you did was a reasonable business decision.
I did not sleep with Eric.
Why can't you believe me? I've never lied to you.
No, you never stopped lying to me! You never stopped lying to me, just like you never stopped using your body to get what you want.
You know what? You use your body, and you use people.
Amanda, you are a user.
We're all users.
I'm coming over there right now.
We have to be rational about this.
We have to talk like adults Get out.
Get out! Ah, I should've known you were up there.
Call me crazy, but I really don't think he wants to see you right now.
You're in my way.
Look at the luggage under your eyes.
Oh, Amanda, you really should get some more sleep.
Thanks for your concern.
Now, if you'll excuse me.
By the way, tomorrow the restaurant and the club are reopening, and we're having a little celebration.
Did Kyle mention it? I guess it slipped his mind.
Well, we've been up all night getting ready for it.
But just because he didn't invite you to the party tomorrow night, doesn't mean he doesn't want you there necessarily.
I'll make sure to ask him about it.
Trust me, you really shouldn't go up there right now.
We kind of made a mess, I'm afraid.
But I do hope you come to the party tomorrow night.
After all, saving the building, it's really your triumph more than anyone's, isn't it? More than yours, you pathetic little parasite.
When the world melts away And thoughts come past of yesterday And all the times you still have time for Shades of gray may compromise The things that shifted black and white But lately that's not a problem anymore You've got to pay less notice to the things That cloud your focus Hey, hey, hey, hey hey, hey Don't believe what I say See for yourself Every single day When your hope wears thin Grow a thicker skin Don't apologize for anything 'Cause you can't Sleep all right? The spare bed was a little hard.
I didn't have a great night either.
Maybe you should've taken a pill.
I'm sorry I went through your purse, and for discussing your case with Coop.
Okay, you're sorry.
I thought that you had a problem.
I thought that you needed help.
You don't help someone by prying like that.
All right, I won't pry.
But I want you to promise me you won't go to Coop anymore.
Not for medicine.
Not for anything.
From now on, you come to me.
Deal? Okay.
You're my man now.
Not to mention, my doctor.
And I was thinking about adding employer to the list.
You want to work in the office? Trust me, it's a job that you don't want.
The last two ex-receptionists are dead, and the third one just got out of a coma.
And all three were married to Michael.
It's a high-risk proposition any way you look at it.
Actually, I had something else in mind.
Remember, we were talking about redecorating your condo? Well, I do have a degree in design, I need something to sort of jumpstart me out of this slump that Coop's put me in.
So, I was kind of thinking Oh, great.
Mi condo es su condo.
Really? You mean it? Absolutely.
I mean, I know you have good taste.
Look who you've chosen to adorn your bed.
Oh, no, you don't.
Back in bed, honey.
Wait, I was just gonna take a shower.
Well, no.
You're in no condition.
You stay right where you are.
I'll give you a sponge bath after breakfast, hmm? Aren't you being a little bit over protective? No, I am not! You just came out of a coma, for God sakes, I don't want you slipping back in.
Could that happen? You never know with these things.
But you can rest assured I'm gonna monitor you very closely.
Michael, you've been so wonderful, I don't know what to say.
Well, don't say a word.
Just work on getting your strength back.
And follow doctor's orders, that's me.
Now, while I get breakfast, I want you to visualize staying in bed for a few months, and feeling good about it.
Hello, Michael.
I'd like to see Megan.
Well, you can't.
She's very weak and recuperating very slowly.
You know what? That's bull! She made one of the quickest recoveries I've ever seen.
And you know what, I'm the one who ought to know.
But then again, I suppose you forgot to tell her that it was me who sat with her coaxing her back to the living, while you were too busy to bother.
Yeah, too busy tossing you out of her room! Look, I told her everything she needs to know.
Beyond that, it's none of your damn business.
I'm gonna see her.
I already told you, no visitors.
I'm hardly a visitor.
Well, if you're not a visitor, and you're not her doctor, and you're not her husband, you must've showed up at the wrong house.
All right, you know what, I'm not gonna cause a scene and upset Megan just to teach you a lesson.
But you haven't heard the last from me, Mancini.
Amanda? Hi.
We met at the wedding.
I'm Connie, Sam's college roommate.
Right.
Hi.
Sam's not here right now.
I know, she went to Hawaii with your top gun.
But the cavalry has arrived.
Oh, thank God.
I was afraid she forgot about these.
And the client needs them for a big meeting in Seattle in three days.
Oh, she wouldn't forget anything that important.
Something looks different though.
I did touch them up a little.
They're good.
Well, it's nothing Sam wouldn't have done herself, if she had the time.
So, you're just in town for a few days? I thought I might stick around for a while.
Maybe look for some work.
Well, you know, Sam really left at the wrong time.
We're swamped here.
What would you say to a temp job? Oh, I don't know if that's such a good idea.
I mean, Sam leaves for one day, and I just step in.
It's only temporary.
Besides I have to hire someone to run copies.
Copying is what I do best.
Okay, here we are.
Serenity suite.
You call this a suite? Uh, maybe you should check the brochure a little closer next time.
Yeah, see it was a package deal.
Well, uh, this is the deluxe package.
There is the expansive sitting room.
There is the elegant patio.
And this is our luxurious queen-size bed, handmade by native craftsmen.
Mmm.
Thanks.
I think everything will suit us fine.
Extra fine, I guarantee it.
Oh, and I'd be happy to give you a tour of all of our activities which include tide pooling, sand castle classes, and bar bingo.
Okay, I think we'll just take our chances here in the room for a while.
My name is Ray and if you need anything at all Okay, Ray.
Just beat it.
Mmm.
I think there's only one activity that interests me right now.
Michael, I have to say I'm amazed at how caring you've become.
Well, it's a side of myself I don't show to everyone.
Or anyone, for that matter.
Yeah, well, I'm glad you've shown me.
Well, now, look, you get some rest.
I'm gonna go sleep on the couch.
But I've left this little bell by your bedside, so if you need anything, you ring it.
If you need anything at all.
Okay? Michael, wait.
You know, I've gotten, sort of, used to you being by my bedside night after night, I I kind of count on it now.
I've been happy to do it.
The thing is, there's a comfortable couch in the next room, and I have to sleep somewhere else beside the bedside chair.
Hey, comas can be very demanding on caregivers, too, you know.
Mmm.
Good night.
Michael, there's a comfortable bed right here in this room.
I mean, you could sleep here.
You could sleep with me.
Megan.
I don't want to get you over excited, but if you think, you know, physical intimacy will help in your rehab, then Oh.
No, no, no.
I'm not taking about having sex with you.
Yet.
Oh, no.
Of course not.
I didn't mean that.
See, what I was saying was that I just, I just wanna be close to you tonight.
I just want you to hold me.
Sure.
I would like a refill.
I think you've had enough, boss.
You know what, I think you're right.
I've had just about enough of everything, but I would like a refill.
So, what will it be? Bourbon and water.
Can you believe this? A memo to the entire surgical department endorsing the cauterizing glove.
And Michael is getting all the credit.
Why shouldn't he? It's his invention after all.
Oh, yeah.
He's a regular Thomas Edison.
I just hope there's no conflict of interest because he's chief of staff, that's all we need, is some yahoo with a grudge dragging us under on some legal technicality.
Haven't seen you around much lately.
I've been busy.
So I hear.
I don't know what you think you mean.
But I'm getting tired of every idiot in this town assuming Uh, excuse me, can I have your attention, please? Thank you, ladies and gentlemen.
I would like to take this opportunity to welcome you here tonight to help us celebrate our reopening.
But, but first, first, I think that special thanks are warranted to Amanda Woodward, a woman whose tireless efforts made this event possible, and when I say tireless, I mean, there were nights that she worked all night long.
Right, Amanda? Whatever it took, no penthouse too high, no sink pit too low, nothing.
Nothing kept her from throwing herself into her work, heart in hand, so let's hear it for Amanda Woodward, the queen of give and take.
And put out and take some more.
We're open tonight because because her motto is, "Always open.
" Drive safely! Enjoy the evening.
Mmm, hey, you Almost like the old days, isn't it? No, it's different.
You really saved my life this time.
Hey, no, you're the one who took the knife in the belly for me.
Well, I guess we're made for each other.
Megan.
Hmm? You don't know what it means to me to hear you say that.
Mmm.
Oh, man, I've acted so badly, I've disrespected you.
I've been a hound.
But you never gave up.
You never lost faith in that good guy inside me.
You know what? I swear I'm gonna stick by you in this.
I'm gonna see you through this.
I'm gonna do whatever it takes to get you well, no matter how long.
No matter how very, very long.
You have to stay here.
Oh, Michael.
Mmm.
Mmm.
Hello.
Hey, sweetie, how's it going back there? Mrs.
Campbell.
Well, it must be one hell of a lousy honeymoon if the best thing you have to do is call this dump.
Oh, nice talk.
I was just calling and checking in and seeing if everything was all right.
Mmm, I'm better than that.
As a matter of fact, I got a temp job at your agency.
You're kidding.
Hmm-mmm.
Man, what a fabulous place to work.
Ah, you're so lucky.
You've got a great job, great life, Billy.
Ah, he's all right if you like his type.
Hi, Connie.
Bye, Connie.
Sorry, we got to go! Hmm, her master's voice.
Well, go on, back to your beast.
I'll try not to burn anything down back here.
All right.
Thanks, hon.
I'll talk to you when we get home.
Bye.
Bye.
What's wrong? Oh, nothing.
She's not gonna be, you know, still hanging out at our place when we get back, is she? Well, not for too long, anyway.
But she doesn't know where she's gonna live, and her relationship with Charlie is on the rocks.
Her life is a mess.
Honey, you gotta stop doing this.
You know, you keep putting yourself out for these wounded strays, and then they bite you in the hand.
Connie doesn't bite, she just salivates.
You mean, like I do whenever I see you.
Mmm, so sweet.
Not at all.
Hey, Kyle.
We've got some extra steamed clams downstairs, I could serve them up here as freebies.
No, you've got to watch out for the woman who gives it away free, you never know what she really wants.
Well, I want you, baby, there's no surprise there.
You've got to watch out for the woman who knows what she really wants, she'll take it from you and leave you bleeding on the floor.
That sounds like Amanda's M.
O.
You know, Kyle, you deserve better than that.
That would be what? You? Oh, damn straight, it would be.
What was that all about? True romance.
Right.
It reminds me of the old days.
You and Taylor had a fight, you'd come howling at my door.
Only this time, Amanda burned you.
So you're using Taylor to feel good.
Yeah, and I feel just great.
Good evening, gentlemen.
Or boys, as the case may be.
Actually, we're businessmen having an emergency meeting in a jazz club because one of our partners refuses to give up her dynamic career as a barmaid.
Bartender! Whatever! The point is, the Mancini Glove Company was showing a 10% growth in profits until you and Craig stopped being a couple.
And this is my fault? Okay.
I'm not here to lay blame.
I'm merely pointing out that a new company is a fragile organism.
It's very delicate.
It's like, well, it's like a snowflake.
And my little snowflake is turning into slush because you two idiots are pouting like high school kids.
She's acting like a juvenile.
Oh, yeah.
Sleeping with a stewardess was so mature? She was an assistant hotel manager.
Enough! Now, as Chief Medical Officer of this company, I order you two to have dinner together.
Patch this mess up and make it work.
Why bother? Hello, are you sure you're my little sister? Why bother is so we can all get rich.
That's why.
Hey.
Oh, Peter, I'm so glad you're finally home.
I've got a million things to show you.
Now, I had the wall and the carpet people here today, and I want you to look at these swatches and tell me what you think.
It doesn't really matter what I think, I'm just the client here, kid.
Oh, I love it when you talk up to me, it makes me feel like a corporation.
You never know, if this works out, you know, you can use the condo as a showcase.
Start a little business, make a little money.
I've got all the money I need.
This isn't about money, this is about all that other stuff.
Oh.
Like, work, and love, and And wine.
Why don't you get us a glass? I'll go freshen up.
You want red or white? Peter, the charge nurse just told me you were covering Dr.
Shulman's patients for a couple of weeks.
How's Megan doing? It's her CAT scan right here.
She's doing fine.
If she's not back to normal activities by now, she should be.
You know what, you can't tell anyone that, okay? Especially Megan.
What are you up to now? Well, I just think we should move slowly here, you know, not push it too fast.
So, you can turn her into an invalid.
All right, all right, I'm trying to salvage our relationship.
I don't need you getting all judgmental on me.
I'll tell you what I'll do.
I'll downplay Megan's improvement, tell her she has to be cautious, but I need you to do me a favor.
And what would that be? Lexi's a professional decorator now.
I'd like you to let her do the interior design in your new glove offices.
No, forget it.
We don't have the extra money to spend on frills like that.
What if she donated her services for free, in exchange for using it as a showcase? Free? Done.
And I'd also appreciate that you not mention that I asked you for the favor.
You must've really fallen for this woman if you're going around being her manager now.
Tell you what, Michael, at my age, I don't know, I look around, I see what I have to show for all of my troubles.
I have a nice condo, stock portfolio, broken marriages.
I don't know, maybe I haven't worked hard enough at it before, I just don't wanna screw this one up like I did my other relationships.
Who? Amanda and Taylor? Don't beat yourself up over those nutcases.
Nobody can make it work with them.
Amanda was addicted to work, Taylor Was addicted to me.
Oh, what the hell.
Maybe you attract addictive personalities.
You're the enabler.
You play along.
But hey, my little sister could've told you this from reading Cosmo.
Dr.
Owens, 5725.
These are terrific.
When did you find the time to do them? I stayed up last night.
Just fleshing out Sam's work mostly.
Well, they're right on the money for the Seattle meetings.
If only I had the time to go, everything would be just fine.
Mmm.
Pretty busy, huh? Yeah, computer glitches, nervous clients, executive turf wars I mean, I don't need a 40-hour week, I need a 40-hour day.
Why don't you let Billy go to Seattle? Well, that's a thought, but the last I looked, he was still gallivanting in Hawaii.
He's back tomorrow.
You could have him just stop there on the way back home.
No.
I need him here right away.
I could send Sam though.
Really? You think so? Well, she knows the artwork, she has a clear vision of the product, and everyone at the client's office is hip and under 30.
I'm sure they'll relate to her.
She might be just perfect.
Well, give the girl the news.
Call her right now.
I think I'll call her right now.
I wish I had a friend like you.
Amanda, they told me you were in a conference, and I didn't wanna walk in on anything too personal.
I don't have time for recreational insults right now, Taylor.
Oh, actually, this is a good deed.
Kyle's finding it really hard being your partner any more.
You might have picked up on that during his little speech the other night.
So, he'd like you to sell your half of the club.
Oh, it sounds like pure Taylor bull to me.
I'll believe it when I hear it from Kyle.
Oh, well, believe it.
He can't even look at you let alone talk to you after what you've done.
Goodbye, Taylor.
The thing is, Kyle and I kind of have a long history together, enduring, you might say.
So, that's the other reason why I'm here.
I wanna buy your half of the club.
It'll be a cold day in hell before I give anything of mine to you.
But, Amanda, you've already given me Kyle.
No, no, he just called me out of the blue.
He said that you mentioned to him I was a designer.
And so he asked me to come down to the glove offices and he just gave me the job.
Oh, that's terrific.
Yeah.
But because they're a new company, they don't have any money to pay me, but I told them I'd work for free.
Good, smart.
So, Lexi, there's something I wanna talk to you about.
And that's very important, I'm sure, I just have one more piece of really great news to tell you first.
What's that? Okay, close your eyes.
Lexi No, no, no, no.
Please.
Close your eyes.
Okay.
Okay.
Now, I'm going to turn you around.
Okay, there, now.
Open sesame.
Well? What? It's going to be my new interior design shop.
Yeah.
The lease is up next month and they promised to tell me just as soon as the place was ready.
Oh, Peter, I'm so happy.
My life is on track.
This is just what I needed, and it was all because of you.
You.
Now.
Okay, what was it you wanted to tell me? Pales in comparison to your news.
Mmm.
I'll get Bobby on it right away, boss.
Great.
Nice to see you down here for a change.
Just ordering some desserts for upstairs.
Well, speaking of upstairs, Amanda told me she wants to sell out.
But the problem is she doesn't know how to tell you.
Yeah, well, there are a lot of things that she doesn't know how to tell me, but that's old news.
Well, the new news is that the restaurant's doing so well that I have the money to buy out her share of the club.
What makes you think that I want you for a partner? Because it would be good business, that's why.
So, I think you should tell her to sell, and then we'll all be happy.
Sure.
Why not? Yay! Okay, I saw someone else, you saw someone else, that seems fair to me.
I don't want fair, Craig, I want caring.
You can't just make up the rules as you go along.
You don't get to be the king.
Fine.
Who would you like me to be? Okay, uh, I want you to be a lover, a partner, a friend.
You know, it always comes down to marriage for a woman, doesn't it? I don't want a ring, I don't need the paper.
Then what? A commitment, all right? I mean, is that such a horrible thing? A full-on, eight-cylinder commitment.
It's a deal breaker.
Why? Look, the last time that I loved someone all the way, she was ripped out of my life.
I can't afford to let myself go through that again.
Not even a possibility.
We all lose things we love, Craig.
And we just have to keep starting over.
That's what life is all about.
I'm sorry.
Craig, you have to keep caring.
You have to stay open or you'll wither up and die inside.
If I lost someone that I loved again, it would kill me.
So, what's the difference? What if you loved and you didn't lose? What if love wasn't a sport? What if it was just a beautiful thing that you got to feel inside? Just as long as you asked nicely and you didn't hurt someone.
I don't know, maybe some day.
All right, big shot.
You didn't like my deal, so, make me a counter offer.
Why don't we just sleep together when we are lonely, and try not to hurt each other? I'll take it.
For now.
Coop.
Hi.
You scared me.
Michael's Michael's not here.
I know, he's at the hospital.
You're the one I wanted to see.
Oh.
I'm thrilled.
Don't get me wrong.
I've just been, sort of, housebound these days.
You don't have to be, you know.
What do you mean? Megan, Michael's been exaggerating your weakness to keep you under his thumb.
No, Michael wouldn't do that.
He loves me.
Look how he sat by my bedside when I was in a coma.
That was me, Megan.
I whispered to you.
I held your hand.
I pulled you back.
Uh No.
No, Michael would not have lied to me about something like that.
No? Why don't you ask him what music he played for you in the hospital? Because I can tell you.
I picked those CDs because they were your favorites.
Joni Mitchell, and the Pachelbel Canon in "D.
" I thought I dreamed that music.
Hey, what the hell are you doing here? I just came by to make sure Megan's feeling better.
Well, she was, until you showed up to stress her out.
Call me if you need anything.
Yeah, she needs you to get out of her hair! You can't shut out the truth, Michael.
Michael, he says he's the one that pulled me through, not you.
Oh, yeah.
Well, he tried to keep me from seeing you, until I got him thrown off the case.
Megan, that man has a screw loose.
I mean, he's got this fixation about coma patients, first Kimberly and now you.
But don't you worry, I'm gonna make sure he doesn't mess with your mind.
You're my wife and I love you.
And I don't want anything to come between us.
Michael, did you do little things for me when I was unconscious, like comb my hair or play music? Yeah, sure.
I did all that kind of stuff.
And what kind of music did you play? I don't know.
Little of this, little of that.
Do you know what my favorite music is? Mmm, not yet, sweetheart.
But I'll make it my business to find out.
Come here.
So, I hear you want out of the jazz club? I don't care much either way.
Fine.
Let's just make it easy on each other.
Why don't you sell your interest? Is that what you want? Oh, yeah.
I mean, you were never that much into the club anyway, right.
Just using it to hide your money.
Well, you don't need to hide your money anymore.
Well, I guess the less we see of each other the better.
I agree completely, and since Taylor is willing to buy your share, it makes it much simpler.
You can do what you want with Taylor, you usually do.
I'm not interested in selling my share though.
You can have it, for free.
No, don't do me any favors.
I wouldn't dream of it.
I don't want anything to do with your ventures, much less profit from them.
Signing it over on a piece of junk mail seems appropriate, don't you think? Billy: So, you're gonna call me from Seattle tonight, right? Samantha: Yes.
What time are you gonna be in? Late.
Oh, honeymoon's over.
Not by a long shot.
What are you talking about? I'm gonna miss you.
No, you're not.
You'll be all full of your meetings.
That's me.
Kicking people off the corporate ladder left and right.
If I don't watch out, you're gonna be more successful than me by Thursday.
I already married better than you.
Bye.
Bye.
I love you.
Michael: Gold leaf on the molding? Do you know that is in out-of-pocket costs? Michael, we need some style.
We need to create an image here.
We need to spend money to make money.
Oh, yeah? Well, where I come from you spend money to spend money.
Okay, well, there's some very nice gold paint that wouldn't cost as much.
Paint looks like paint.
I think Craig's right.
Oh, I'm so glad you two are cozy again, so we could all room together at the poorhouse.
All these design decisions can be so taxing.
But then again, it's a little like arranging deck chairs on the Titanic at this point.
Uh-huh.
What are you talking about? Consider yourself served.
I'm suing the Mancini Glove Company.
For what? For stealing my idea.
And you're going down for it.
This is ridicul This is ridiculous.
I didn't steal a thing.
Yeah, you just had the idea yourself after I told you about it.
Michael, is that true? No, it's not true.
It's a scam.
Because if this is a crooked investment scheme Hey, my brother may be slimy, but he's no crook.
Thanks, that's very supportive.
Look, I'm trying to get a job done here.
You're timing couldn't be worse.
Yeah, you're breaking my heart.
You bastard.
Don't believe a word he says.
I'm glad someone has faith in me.
Oh, I have faith, Michael.
In the court system.
See you there.
Oh.
When did you get home? Uh, just now.
Yeah.
Sorry, didn't mean to scare you.
That's okay.
Um, where's Sam? She actually had a business meeting up in Seattle, she's not gonna be back for a couple of days.
Great.
I mean, great opportunity.
Well, welcome home to you then.
I'm gonna take a shower, hit the hay, been traveling all day.
Sure.
Oh, do you want some dinner? Hello.
Connie, how's it going? Mrs.
Campbell, I presume.
Hey, girl, I hear you're a young, rising executive.
Oh, man, I am so exhausted.
I've been in meetings all day.
Yeah? So, what, do you get to have affairs with your secretary? You're gonna keep Billy barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen? Barefoot and bare ass, whenever I can.
So, is he there yet? Why? Are you worried he's tomcatting around already? Uh, no, that's not Billy.
Um, well, given the opportunity, that's every Billy I've ever known.
Connie, you're gonna find the right guy someday.
Just like I did, I promise.
So, is my guy home yet? No, not yet.
Oh.
All right.
Well, I'm sure he'll be home soon.
Just tell him to call me tomorrow.
I'll make sure he gets the message.
Okay, great.
I'm too tired to talk now, anyway.
I'll see you when I get back.
I'll be here.
Right here.
Michael, I made Craig sink every penny he had into our company.
It's the foundation of our relationship.
And good evening to you, too.
Can the small talk.
Now, if Coop wins this suit, it's over.
So, I gotta know, Michael, did you or did you not steal his idea for a cauterizing glove? Jennifer, I'm absolutely, 100% not guilty.
There is a touch of larceny in our gene pool, you know.
If you're referring to dad, I'll have you know that kind of thing skips a generation.
I'm referring to Gramps.
Jennifer, you are family, I would never, ever lie to you.
In fact it troubles me that you'd even consider it.
Let's not get carried away, shall we? Carried away because my sister's thinking of bailing on me? I'm sorry, I've got to get some air.
Hey, should you be up? Yeah, I can manage on my own.
Listen, I wanna ask you something, um did Coop play music for me when I was in the hospital? Yeah, he asked me to bring over your favorite CDs.
He said that he wanted to play them for you in your coma.
He said that music goes deep into the psyche, it has true healing effects.
He was actually very poetic about it, for a doctor.
Peter: Hello.
Peter, uh, it's Megan.
Megan, are you all right? Yeah, I'm fine.
Look, I'm sorry to bother you, but you're one of the few people that would know.
Did anyone keep a vigil over me when I was in the hospital? Uh, well, I would say Coop was watching you pretty closely.
And what about Michael? Well, I'm sure Michael was there, too, but you know, he's been very busy with his Chief of Staff responsibilities.
And what about my condition right now? Is, is it as fragile as Michael suggests? Megan, you're a healthy, young woman, you ought to be getting up and around by now.
So Well, if I were you I would probably take.
Michael's warning with a large grain of salt.
Thank you, Peter.
Bye.
What? Take me back to our apartment, will you? Sure.
What about Michael? I don't know any Michael.
I don't think I ever knew him.
Lexi: Yeah, I understand.
It's over.
It's done.
What is it? What's the matter? Well, that was Craig.
And the design of the glove office has been put on hold, pending litigation.
Oh, I heard about the lawsuit at the hospital Isn't it ironic how Coop's destroying my life all over again? What, does he have a vendetta against me? I don't really think that he's really after you in this case.
It's a minor setback.
You'll find another Oh.
Lexi, Lexi, you're an addict.
You need help.
That's pretty, calling me names, that's really gonna help! Lexi, please, stop! Come here.
Come here.
Look at yourself.
Look at yourself.
Lexi Lexi! Get away from me! You don't know me.
You don't even care who I am! I do care.
I love you.
I wanna help.
Well, you're just another power-tripping doctor.
This isn't you! This is the drugs talking! This is me! Don't you wish it weren't? Lexi! Lexi, listen, would you just listen to me, please? I don't want you Lexi! I want you to pull the car over.
You just hate it that you can't control me, don't you? This has nothing to do with control! I just want you to pull the car over.
Please.
Yeah, that's why your marriage hit the rocks, isn't it? 'Cause you're always right there trying to control her every move, huh? You're like a dog with a bone, you just won't let go.
Not when someone that I love is in trouble.
What was that? What was what? It sounded like we hit something.
Stop the car! What are you talking about? Stop the car! What is it? What do you see? Oh.
Hold me.
Why don't you go on inside? I'll park the car in the garage.
I'll be right in.
Blood.
