Beverly Hills, 90210 (1990) s07e26 Episode Script

l loved that movie.
lt was so romantic.
Yeah.
You're coming in, aren't you? Hey, you've been kind of quiet tonight.
Are you okay? Yeah.
l think you've been putting in too many hours at the station.
l am pretty tired.
Well, at least our relationship is back on track.
Well, that did the trick.
Trace, uh l don't know how to start this exactly, but l have to.
What? l don't think we should see each other any more.
You're serious? Yeah.
Yeah.
l'm, uh, l'm not as into this relationship as you deserve someone to be.
What does that mean? lt means l just keep making the same mistake.
So, that's what this whole year has been-- a mistake? ls that what you're saying? No.
l just shouldn't be involved with someone l work with.
lf that's what this is about, l'll quit.
No.
l think we screwed up a great friendship.
Please, don't tell me you want to be friends.
l could never be friends with someone who could treat me like this.
Believe me, Trace, l didn't mean to hurt you.
How much l hurt isn't your business.
Please leave.
Hey, Muntz.
Um, excuse me.
This is a palm tree.
We're doing canada, not california.
lt's the theater, Kelly.
l'm sure no one's gonna notice in the audience.
Kel, come here, we need help.
oh, um, l can't.
l have to go.
Muntz, can you give her a hand? How does everybody know it's me? lt's the ears.
-See ya.
-Bye.
Why is Muntz wearing a horse costume? l thought he was supposed to help you and Donna with your skit.
Yeah, he's our technical director.
Meaning he puts the tape on for the song you're lip-synching to? Yeah, it's a very important function, clare.
Yeah, lip-synching is a talent.
clare, the talent lies in the comedic timing.
What, you think this operetta thing is funny? RomanCe of The Northwest is not a thing.
The saloon girl, the Mountie, unrequited love.
lt's a classic duet.
l'm surprised you didn't reverse the roles and do it in drag.
Steve Well, at least l'm performing, right? l'm not too vain to make a fool of myself.
You should try it some time.
lt might loosen you up a little bit.
What is that supposed to mean? That you shouldn't be so in control all the time.
Take a risk, be vulnerable.
Why? What's so great about being vulnerable? You get hurt that way.
Thanks, Donna.
l can take it from here.
okay.
All right.
Hey, going home? Yeah, my mom needs some help.
She's exhausted.
Really? Even with a live-in nurse? She's sort of a micromanager.
Gee, l can't picture it.
l think she's just scared.
You know, if she leaves the house for one second something might happen to my dad, and then she'd never forgive herself.
Sounds to me like she needs to get out once in a while.
Well, l'm trying to get her to come to the show tomorrow.
l think she would love to see some of her old college friends.
-Keep working on her.
-l will.
Send them both my love.
Both of them.
Will do.
Hey.
Do you want a cup of coffee or something? No, thanks.
Do you know? Uh, do l know what? Why do l have the feeling this has something to do with Brandon? He didn't tell you? Tell me what? He broke up with me.
Why? l don't know.
Nothing he said made any sense.
Did he mention Kelly? No.
l don't think she had anything directly to do with it.
Listen, Trace, don't buy into her sweet act, okay? She knows how to put a dagger between the shoulder blades, all right, believe me.
She's been waiting to make her move.
Really? Don't give up so easily, okay? You and Brandon are great together.
l know.
That's what hurts so much.
Look, Brandon sometimes can't see his nose in front of his face, but l'm gonna talk to him.
Maybe that's not such a good idea.
Look, l've known Brandon my whole life.
l'd be doing this for him, too.
Don't worry, l'll take care of it, okay? Thanks.
-Hi.
-Hi.
What was so personal you couldn't tell me at the theater? Um, last night l, uh, broke up with Tracy.
Was it mutual? No, no l, uh, l did the breaking.
ls she okay? l don't know.
So, do you want to tell me why? Ever since, um, the other night, l haven't been able to get you out of my mind.
How about you? Since that kiss, l can't stop thinking about you.
So, um, what should we do? l don't know.
Um l guess we should spend some time together.
Alone? Yeah.
You mean, together alone, right? Yeah, yeah, together alone.
Good.
We should probably keep this just between us for a while.
Yeah, yeah, l wouldn't want to flaunt it in front of Tracy.
So how about tomorrow night? What's wrong with tonight? l've got a big staff meeting tonight.
With Tracy? l'm sorry.
That's not fair.
Um, it's just a little awkward.
Yeah.
So, l'll meet you at Yamashiro at 8:00? How about tomorrow night? lt's a date.
ls there anything wrong with 7:00? -No, 7:00 is good.
-okay.
-See you later.
-All right.
What are you doing? About what? You're getting back together with Kelly, aren't you? Now, Val, where could you have possibly gotten an idea like that? From the hit-and-run victim you left behind.
She's not taking it very well, huh? Tracy really loves you, Brandon.
What do you want me to do, Val? What do you want me to do, live a lie? l'm not in love with her.
-And you are Kelly? -Absolutely.
So where does that leave Tracy? With the opportunity to find somebody else.
She deserves the best.
She deserves you, Brandon.
Listen to me, okay.
l've known you longer and better than anybody, and l am telling you that you're going to lose the best thing you ever had, and that's Tracy.
That's your opinion.
How do you know Kelly really loves you? That's a chance l'm willing to take.
She's gonna burn you.
She's done it before -and she'll do it again.
-You know what, Val, this isn't about me, this isn't about Tracy.
This is about you and your little vendetta against Kelly.
No.
This is me caring about you.
okay? Your father's not eating enough.
Probably 'cause he's not used to being fed 1 7 times a day.
l've got to get his strength back.
That physical therapy is so tough for him.
l know, Mom.
You know what, why don't you come over here and take a look at the Spring Fest program.
oh, Donna, l told you No, Mom, l told you it's more than a talent show.
The Betas are sponsoring a volleyball tournament.
Volleyball? And there's a picnic and a dance.
oh, sweetheart, l appreciate what you're trying to do, but l just can't leave your father right now.
He needs me.
But he's feeling better.
Mom, he wants you to go.
lt's hard.
l just can't keep from thinking about what he's going to do with himself.
Being a surgeon was his passion.
What's he gonna do now? Well, constantly worrying about it is not doing you or Daddy any good.
Mrs.
Martin? Dr.
Martin needs to see you.
See, even with his physical therapist, he can't be without me.
Mom, l'll see what he wants.
You take a look at the alumni RSVP list.
l bet there's a couple friends you haven't seen in years, okay? Don't worry.
oh, my God.
Warren.
oh, boy.
clare, just when l think l know you, you really surprise me.
l am so proud of you for entering the talent show.
Well, it'll be a challenge.
David's going to accompany me on piano.
-oh, hey, David's great.
-Yeah.
l didn't know you could sing though.
Well, l'm kind of more of a shower singer.
oh, really? Hmm.
Ah! Here it is.
''Devoted to You.
'' oh, cool.
lt's the Linda Ronstadt version.
My mom used to sing this to me all the time when l was little.
She had such a beautiful voice.
l always wanted to sing just like her.
How come you never pursued it? l don't know.
Hey, let's go listen to it.
oh, great.
Yeah.
That's pretty.
l haven't heard it in so long.
Well, come on.
Let's hear it.
Not here.
clare, the show is tomorrow.
lf you can't sing in this booth, how are you going to pull it off in front of a full house? Full house? Well, at least shut the blinds.
clare, l'm the only one who can hear you.
know that l'm Devoted to you l'll never hurt you l'll never lie l'll never be untrue.
And here she is Donna Martin of the Royal canadian Mounted Police.
This is my Mountie walk.
How's it look? What? What? What's so funny? -What? -Nothing.
Nothing.
Nothing.
What? lt's lt's just your your center of gravity is a little wrong.
okay, you see, even though you're doing the whole bowlegged thing, you're well, you're still walking like a woman.
-l am a woman.
-Yeah.
l know, l know.
And-And, please, don't ever change.
Look.
okay.
A woman's center of gravity is down here in her pelvis.
lt's the center of her being.
lt's what she leads with.
Are you sure we're talking about a woman here? Yes.
Whereas, a man's center of gravity is in the chest and shoulders.
You see? Yeah.
All right, you try it.
Um Just how much walking do you have to do in this little skit of yours? Not that much.
But, you know, there is a whole lot of kissing involved.
Now, where's a guy's center of gravity when he's kissing? Donna, what are you what are you doing? Well, you know what they say.
Mounties: they always get their man.
l'll get it, Donna! Who is it? Telegram for Kelly Taylor.
That's me.
Telegram? Yes.
Would you sign here, please? There you go.
oops! Wrong place.
Here, please.
Sorry.
Thank you.
Have a nice evening.
Thank you.
New York? ''Hi, stranger.
''Got an hour layover in LAX tomorrow, ''conWest Air, flight 457.
''Need to see you.
lmportant.
Tell no one.
Love, Dylan.
'' Strawberry, raspberry, boysenberry, and the ever-popular loganberry.
Boy, you're sure in a good mood for someone who's gone through some love tragedy.
copy that.
Any second thoughts about Tracy? Sure.
But it had to be done, my man.
okay.
Why now? l just couldn't do it anymore, man.
-Anything going on with you and Kelly? -Nothing.
Now, would you eat your breakfast? You've got a big show to do today.
Don't remind me.
l got a lot of problems there.
Like what size bra to stuff? No.
l've always been a ''D'' cup.
What l'm really worried about is clare's singing.
ls it really that bad? Bad? oh, it's like fingernails on a blackboard.
She's going to make a fool of herself, and it's all my fault.
Maybe she'll surprise you.
You obviously haven't heard her sing.
You're right.
l haven't.
l gotta get out of here.
can't keep Sergeant Gord waiting.
-Mush, you husky! -You really know how to talk to the ladies, don't you? Well, that's not the way l heard it.
Hey.
l wouldn't suppose you'd want to go to the show with me.
Let me think about that for a second.
No.
So are you going -to meet Kelly there? -Hey, Val, that would fall under the ''mind your own business'' category that we discussed earlier.
Well, she'll probably be late anyways.
l mean, traffic from LAX can be really hectic.
What, exactly are you talking about? Kelly got a telegram last night.
From Dylan.
He wanted to see her.
And you're in possession of this information because? You're going to hate me.
Quite possibly.
l had a friend of mine from New York send it.
lt's fake.
You gotta be kidding me.
No.
l'm sorry, Brandon, okay? lt was the only way to make you see that Kelly is not over Dylan.
And you wonder why people think you're manipulative.
l just don't want to see you throw away what you have with Tracy over somebody who doesn't really love you.
Val, Kelly going to the airport to pick up an old friend doesn't mean anything.
You know Dylan's more than that.
Look.
lf it's so innocent, why isn't she telling you about it? Brandon, l'm just trying to be a friend here, okay? All right.
Fine.
There's only one way to find out.
There's the flight information.
You know what? l don't spy on my friends.
And l don't devise little loyalty tests either.
okay, fine.
l just hope Kelly's worth your trust.
l really do.
There you go.
Show starts in an hour.
Refreshments are inside.
Enjoy.
Sales are great.
Yeah.
Where's Kelly? She was supposed to do this.
l have to go over the rundown with the stage manager.
l'm sorry.
She told me, and l forgot.
She had something really important to do.
-Yeah? Like what? -l don't know.
Well, it had better be, like, an emergency.
You go inside.
l'll be fine here.
okay.
oh.
There's your mom.
She's an Alpha.
Maybe she wouldn't mind helping.
No.
l just want her to relax today.
Looks like she already is.
That's not your dad, is it? No.
That guy looks really familiar though.
oh, well.
Bye.
oh, Warren, it is so good to see you.
Why don't we sit together? lt's Val.
come in.
-Hi.
-Hi.
Well, l'm glad to see that this whole mess hasn't interrupted your schoolwork.
oh, no.
l think l've read the same paragraph 50 times.
This is kind of stupid.
l feel like l'm 12 years old, asking a girlfriend to find out if a boy likes me or not.
Tracy, l could go.
No.
Did you talk to him? Yeah.
l did.
And it didn't change anything, did it? No.
Actually, l think he's starting to appreciate you more than he realized.
Really? What did you say? Well, just the truth.
That you guys are good for each other.
You know, stuff like that.
That's all? That's it.
Well, l hope it works.
So do l.
Excellent.
very much.
Hi, guys.
Just relax.
Take deep breaths.
l'm going to check the house.
lt should be a sellout, okay? okay.
Relax.
Relax.
You'll do fine.
Here.
Do some scales.
l'll be back in a second.
okay.
So, have you ever heard clare sing before? Nah, nah, but come on.
How bad can she be? How you doing, honey? okay.
l'm a little nervous.
You know, there's no shame in not going through with this.
l mean, if you don't want to.
Don't you think l'm good enough? oh, yeah! l think you're great.
l just think to do this because l challenged you would be foolish.
You said it's good for me to make a fool of myself.
Loosen me up a bit, right? Did l say that? Yes.
Now, back off.
lt's normal to get butterflies.
Besides, l have no intentions of making a fool of myself.
Unlike some people.
l'm ready for some dessert.
How about you? Wow! Mm, yes.
Hey, you were right.
lt's a full house.
What's wrong? That's him.
That's who? That's the guy that my mother had an affair with.
Whoa, wait, Donna, way back at the Bel Age? come on, that was a long time ago.
Are you sure? Yeah, l'm sure.
chorus line let's go.
Places, please.
Jugglers, magicians, dancers.
Who am l forgetting? Uh, gladiators, vestal virgins, let's go.
Helmet on.
Bird, fly.
Fly to me.
okay, come on, fly.
Passengers conWest Air flight 457 will be pre-boarding at Gate 34 in approximately one hour.
Will a representative from Vanguard please pick up the white courtesy phone? A representative from Vanguard, lncorporated, please pick up the white courtesy phone.
Donna, l'm sure there's a logical explanation.
oh, yeah, there's a logical explanation.
They went to college together.
She sees his name on the RSVP list, and that's why she came here.
David, she cheated on my dad, once before.
What's gonna stop her from doing it again? -oh, man.
-Did you see them laughing together? Did you see her fawning all over him? Donna, it's a show.
People are supposed to have fun.
Would you get ready? lt's almost time.
l don't know if l can do this.
Yes, you can.
Just remember when you close your eyes to kiss Steve, picture me instead.
l love you.
Hmm.
And now ''Royal canadian Love Affair'' performed by Donna Martin as Sergeant Gord and Steve Sanders as his lady love.
oh! All alone am l Under canada's moon With the stars in the sky hoping he'll be here soon l have trekked though the night By horse and canoe Because nothing is right till l'm right here with you You're my gal And l love you true You're my man And l love you, too oh, my! All the stars in the sky And the moon up above Know we're really in love Go! We'll tell the world that we care For nothing can compare With our Royal canadian Love affair That was so cute.
That was so cute.
Dylan, huh? Yup.
Well, l don't know if it means anything.
l mean, if you got a telegram from an old girlfriend, you would go meet her.
Yeah, but l wouldn't get dressed up, and l wouldn't keep it a secret.
So why don't you ask her about it? And how am l supposed to tell her that l was following her, Nat? The same way you told me.
l don't know.
You know, Dylan once told me that he and Kelly had a connection that l would never understand.
Maybe he was right.
l don't know about that.
But l do know it's hard to believe that it could be any stronger than the one you and Kelly have.
lt don't feel that strong right now.
Let me ask you a question, Brando.
Would you have broken up with Tracy if Kelly were not in the picture? l don't want to answer that.
Think about it.
Give me a hand, will ya? Excuse me.
Where have you been? What do you care? Well, you've already missed Steve and Donna.
Must have been pretty important.
For your information, l had to meet somebody, okay? Brandon? No.
lsn't he here? No, not that l've seen.
Maybe he was meeting somebody, too.
Nervous? Yeah, what do you think? You know, clare, you don't have to do this.
Why do you keep saying that to me? l just hate to see you embarrass yourself because of me.
Great.
Now l'm really nervous.
What are you trying to say? How can l tell you this? clare a singer you're not.
Why would you say that to me right before l have to go onstage? l know.
l should've told you sooner.
Maybe we could find Ellen and just tell her you're a late scratch.
No, l have to do this.
Well, don't do this on my account.
l'm not.
l'm doing it for me.
Any last words? Well, my mom used to say, ''You don't have to be able to sing to sell a song.
'' You just let it come from your heart.
Focus on what's inside.
okay.
Thank you, Dale, Darren and Dave Eardly for that remarkable display of juggling skill.
And now clare Arnold singing the classic, ''Devoted To You.
'' All rightie, let's break a leg.
l think l'm going to throw up.
Just remember, from the heart.
okay.
Darling, you can count on me Till the sun dries up the sea Until then, l'll Darling, you can count on me Till the sun dries up the sea Until then, l'll always be Devoted to you l'll be yours through endless time l'll adore your charm sublime Guess by now you know that l'm Devoted To you.
Hi, this is Kelly.
l'm out enjoying this beautiful spring day.
Why aren't you? Hey, it's me.
Uh, l'm afraid l'm going to have to cancel our date tonight.
Something came up.
Bye.
Sorry.
l didn't think anyone would be here.
Neither did l.
l thought you were gonna be at the talent show.
You okay? Not really.
Yeah, you look a little tense.
See if l can fix that.
Thanks.
So how are you doing? l'm hanging in.
l miss having you as a friend.
Even after the way l treated you? Yeah.
Good.
l could use a friend myself right about now.
So you're miserable.
l'm miserable.
Life sucks.
Well, it doesn't have to be that way.
What do you mean? l'm saying we can help ease each other's misery.
Trace l don't think that's such a good idea.
l think it is.
Well, l don't think it is.
So now you're thinking about what's best for me? l'm trying to do the right thing here, Trace.
Well, the right thing is giving ourselves a second chance.
Take it one day at a time.
Night at a time.
l can't do that.
Why? Because l can't go back.
lt's over.
You're a real bastard, aren't you? Yeah, l guess l am.
You feel better now? No, actually l feel like a fool.
You know, when Kelly was occupied with someone else, it was very convenient to have me to sleep with.
Now, all of a sudden she's back, it's not so damned convenient.
lt was never just that, Trace.
And for your information, Kelly's not back.
She's probably in love with someone else.
oh.
ls that why you're so miserable? Yes, as a matter of fact, it is.
Good.
l'm glad.
Now you're hurting as much as l am.
l feel so bad.
l almost missed the whole show.
Well, maybe Donna and l will do an encore performance for you.
Well, anything to put on a wig and a Wonderbra.
-Ha, ha, ha.
-oh, my Mountie days are over.
Hey, where where did Valerie go? l don't know.
Hey, are you guys up for the Spring Fest dance? oh, sorry.
l can't.
l have to be somewhere.
Where are you going now? l'll tell you later.
Bye.
-Bye.
-Bye.
She's still with him.
Who's still with who? Uh, nobody.
We have to go.
-Bye, guys.
-Bye.
Well, everybody's got a secret.
Even you.
-What do you mean? -Well, the way you pulled that off in there.
You could've backed down, but you didn't.
l'm so proud of you for that.
Well, l couldn't back out again.
-Again? -l was supposed to sing that song in a fourth grade talent show.
l practiced and practiced.
lt was supposed to be a big surprise for my mom.
So what happened? l remember waiting in the wings and looking through the curtains, waiting for her to come, but she never did.
And you wouldn't go on unless she was there, right? She died two years later.
So you never got a chance to sing it for her, huh? Not until tonight.
okay, so maybe you're right.
l mean, it's just way too bizarre that she'd be cheating on my father so openly, especially with me around.
Well, l'm glad you're finally starting -to make some sense.
-Yeah.
Look, Donna.
l really don't want to spend another night -worrying about your mother, okay? -okay.
-l don't believe her.
-oh, Donna Donna.
What do you think you're doing? Donna.
Do you not have any respect for Daddy or for me? What are you talking about? -This is your daughter? -Yes.
-Yes.
l'm her daughter, and l know who you are.
What, you don't think l remember him -from the Bel Age Hotel? -oh, oh, no.
This is not what you think.
Daddy sits home alone in a wheelchair while you stroll down lovers' lane.
That is disgusting.
Good night, Mother.
Donna, don't you think you're being a little harsh? Harsh? What could be more unfair than what she's doing to my father? Donna, she's not making out with the guy.
Look, she's crying all over him.
Why don't you give her a chance to explain? Donna, please, you really don't understand.
This is Warren Graham.
Dr.
Warren Graham.
He's chief medical officer at ScU Hospital.
Felice, it looks like you have some sorting out to do here.
Tell John to give me a call next week, -all right? -All right.
-Thank you, Warren.
-lt's all right.
And you can keep the handkerchief.
Thanks.
l hope we meet under better circumstances another time.
Good night.
Good night, Felice.
What are you telling me? That's not the guy you were once were seeing? Actually, he is, so l can understand how you would misread the situation.
l don't think l'm misreading anything here.
Donna, that was a long time ago.
There is absolutely nothing between us.
Your father is the only man l care about.
lt doesn't look that way.
Donna, come on, let her talk.
Sweetheart, when l saw that Warren was coming to c.
U.
, l got an idea of your father lecturing at the hospital.
-You did? -Yes.
He has so much to offer.
l mean, he can't be a surgeon anymore, but he can share his knowledge and his compassion with students.
l think he would really love that.
l mean, don't you? Yeah, l do.
Good.
There's something we see the same way.
l'm sorry.
oh, it's all right.
l'm so sorry.
lt's all right, sweetie.
You should listen to your boyfriend here a little more often.
He's a lot more mature than l've given him credit for.
Thank you.
l'm going to run home and give your dad the good news.
You enjoy yourself.
Thanks, Mom.
Well, looks like you have all the Martins in your corner now.
Yeah, it's kind of scary, isn't it? Hi.
Did you come up here to gloat? No, actually, that's the last thing that l want to do, Brandon.
So Kelly did go to see Dylan, huh? Yep.
And you saw it for yourself? Yep.
You know, you're a smart woman, Val.
Your low expectations of human behavior have all been confirmed, both mine and Kelly's.
Well, maybe it was worth it, to find out the truth.
or maybe not.
Ah, you know what they say.
''The only thing worse than not knowing the truth is knowing the truth.
'' You'll have to forgive me if l don't thank you just now.
Well, at least now you know.
Kelly still loves Dylan.
No, l'll get it.
About time l stopped moping around here anyway.
Well? couldn't have said it better myself.
can l come in? l've been waiting at Yamashiro for the past hour, but you probably have a good explanation why you stood me up.
l didn't stand you up, l canceled.
l called and left you a message.
l didn't get the message.
So what is it? Must be pretty important that you canceled a date you say you've been waiting two years for.
l saw you.
You saw me.
What what does that mean? l saw you.
Waiting at the airport for Dylan.
Wait a minute, how do you know about Dylan? What, were you following me? lt doesn't matter how l know.
The issue is you and Dylan.
No, no, the issue is trust.
What kind of a relationship did you intend to build on spying? None.
Not with a woman who's in love with another man.
You think l'm still in love with Dylan? Yeah.
Yeah, l do.
l'm not in love with Dylan.
Really? Then why did you go to meet him? Alone, secretly.
All dressed up? l dressed up for you.
l didn't think l was going to have time to go home and change before our date.
l went to meet him, because he's a friend.
And he asked me to.
And for one other reason.
What's that? l wanted to tell him that l'd finally chosen.
That's our ring.
How did you get it? l couldn't bear anyone else having it.
So that day at the jeweler, after you left l went back.
And you bought it? Why? Because it's ours.
Whatever happens, it's our ring.
Say something, Brandon.
l love you.
l love you, too.
