cassie : absolutely . i 'm also eavesdropping . all i heard was that you were talking to someone about sandy . edmund : yes , well , i 'm just not going to be able to rest until i make things right by that boy , so i 'm making some arrangements to be able to offer him something a bit more concrete than just an apology . cassie : like money ? edmund : well , it does n't get any more concrete than that . i 've been talking to some of richard 's people down in san cristobel . they 're going to see what they 're able to do . cassie : my guess is not much . richard did n't leave an estate . edmund : well , you never know if something 's floating around . and if not , then i 'll just be the one helping him . cassie : this is really important to you . edmund : of course it is . i have to make amends with this young man . i ruined his life . i owe it to him ; i owe it all of you . cassie : so , do you have to make amends right now , like , i do n't know , right this minute ? edmund : well , that might be ... mm . the sooner the better . would n't you say that ... would n't you say ? cassie : no , what i would say is that you 've already , you know , started the ball rolling , so why not take a break and figure out your next move ? edmund : okay . cassie winslow , are you trying to seduce me ? cassie : mm - hmm . edmund : huh . cassie : is it working ? edmund : no . ross : hello you beautiful bauers . ed : hey , ross ! michelle : hi . thank you for coming . ross : oh , i was glad to get your call . especially when you said that you wanted me to help straighten out your father . michelle : see , i knew that you 'd welcome the opportunity . ed : oh , come on . what is this , another ambush ? what am i supposed to have done now ? michelle : nothing yet , nothing yet . nothing that ca n't be fixed with a little adjusting . all right , i 'll start at the beginning . well , you know how hard danny 's been working to get the street back on its feet , right ? ross : oh yeah , of course . he 's been doing very well . michelle : you think so ? ross : absolutely i do . you must be very proud . michelle : i am , i am . and i 'm even prouder of what he wants to do next . ross , danny wants to run for mayor . ross : of what ? michelle : mayor of springfield , is n't that incredible ? he really , he wants to step up to the plate , and he wants to make springfield an even better place to live . so , what do you think ? ross : well , michelle , this is , it 's huge . it 's big news . michelle : that 's funny , because i thought you were going to help me convince my dad what a great idea this is , and i guess i was wrong . edmund : honey , why is it so important to you that i agree with every decision that danny makes ? he is his own man . michelle : because we need family solidarity right now , dad . the bauers need to step up . look , ross , you know how hard danny 's worked to put his past behind him . ross : of course , i do , michelle , and i admire him for doing that , but running for office is just an open invitation for all the skeletons to come tumbling out of the closet , maybe some you do n't even know about . and besides , there is a lot more to springfield than just that little neighborhood around fifth street . now , perhaps danny needs to give this a little more thought . michelle : well , he has , he 's given it a lot of thought , and , you know , so have i . and ... ross : michelle , life as a public servant is not a party . michelle : well , i , i do n't know about that , ross . i think you could be wrong . jeffrey : now , what are you doing ? i think you made a mistake here . waiter : i do n't know . jeffrey : look , there 's some kid who 's crying for his balloons somewhere , it 's a mistake , all right ? waiter : it 's your name on the card . sandy : hey . marah : hi , how are you ? sandy : i know you do n't owe me anything , but you could have at least warned me . marah : about family dinner at my parent 's house ? i 'm sorry , but in those kind of situations , it 's every man for himself . sandy : not about dinner , but about reva 's cookies . i almost broke a tooth . marah : she always burns something when she 's nervous . welcome to the family . sandy : thanks . i 'm still getting the hang of it . i think it 'll be a while before i get all the rules straight , but i think i have one thing figured out . marah : good . sandy : from what i 've seen , family members are supposed to look out for each other , right ? marah : yes , we try to . sandy : okay , then , here goes . i think it was a bad idea for you to take off with that old guy after dinner . marah : jeffrey o'neill is not an old guy , and i did not take off with him . he rescued me from an awkward situation , that 's it . sandy : i do n't buy that for a second . reva : hey , doc , hold it right there . christopher : well , so much for the inner calm i 'm supposed to find during my run . reva : inner calm ? where can i sign up ? christopher : what are you doing here ? am i being stalked ? reva : bite your tongue . i miss you . you 've been keeping your distance , lately . christopher : well , here i thought it was because you needed space . guess i 'm not the one with the intuition here , huh ? reva : do n't even start with me . i have about as much intuition as that wall . you know what ? maybe if i banged my head against it , i could get some insight into my own life , because i 'm coming up empty . christopher : this about sandy ? reva : who else ? i 've been trying so hard to make some kind of progress with him , you know ? but he 's so closed off , he 's so angry . i 'm doing all the right things , you know , doing all the good mommy - things like inviting him to disastrous family dinners and then wondering why we 're not making any progress , and it 's just not me ! you know ? and if i ca n't find a way to get back to who i am , i 'm going to explode . christopher : you really have hit a wall this time , huh ? reva : head on . you know , it seems like every other member of my family has found a way to get through to sandy , but i have zero intuition . i mean , where are all those disconcerting flashes of insight when i need them ? christopher : you 're trying too hard . reva : well , how can i not ? i mean , here 's this lost child , you know , who 's in so much pain and all he sees in me is that i , i never came back for him , ever . christopher : for very good reasons . reva : well , tell him that . all my other children have been forgiving me for so much for so long and i think it 's because some way or another they new that i was working my way back to them , and to their father , but sandy , all he sees is that i left him . not once , but twice . maybe i should just let him beat me up and get it out of his system . christopher : well , he 's not going to be a teenager forever . reva : you know what ? i would welcome some normal teenage anger right about now . christopher : i have n't been very much help , have i ? reva : no . i 'm still just as freaked out as i was when i first bumped into you . christopher : sorry about that . how about a little old fashioned distraction , huh ? dinner , my treat , the country club . and i will not only pay , but i 'll be so entertaining that you will relax and all of your insight will come flowing back , you 'll be able to break through your wall with sandy , and solve a few of the world 's problems at the same time . well ? marah : so you think i had some secret escape plan , that i talked jeffrey into dinner so that he could rescue me from you ? sandy : why not ? marah : you take yourself way too seriously . sandy : maybe i do , but i should have been the one to leave , not you . marah : wrong , my mother would have just coming after you , made your drama very ugly . sandy : i did n't hang out for very long , anyway . look , i just do n't want to be one more thing in your life that makes it too intense . marah : again , taking yourself way too seriously . look , it 's going to take me a little while to get used to having a new brother around , but once i do get used to it , i 'll just do what all sisters do , ignore you . i 'm too busy for all this drama anyway . i have way too many things to do . i have my design work , my friends ... sandy : friends , friends like jeffrey o'neill ? marah : yes , i like him . he 's smart and he offered to look at my contracts . sandy : oh , whoa , i 'll bet he did . marah , come on . a guy like that thinks one thing when he looks at a girl like you . marah : oh no ... sandy : what ? marah : this article about danny , it 's bad . i have to go see michelle . jeffrey : `` your advice has given me a lift . ca n't wait to learn more , marah . `` well , that 's what you get for being a nice guy , o'neill . michelle : i wonder what he did to deserve those . ross : i 'm not sure i want to know . ed : looks kind of like he wants to fall right through the floor now , does n't he ? ross : ( laughs ) michelle : ( laughs ) there 's a first time for everything . ross : jeffrey o'neill has always prided himself on being the unflappable man . michelle : wow , then this is a historic moment . all right so where were we ? you guys were trying to convince me that it 's not a great idea for danny to run for mayor . ed : honey , look . you and danny have been through a lot . i do n't understand why you want to do this to yourselves . ross : and michelle , i 'm sorry if i 'm less than enthusiastic about danny 's potential campaign , it 's just that i do n't want to see you suffer needlessly . michelle : needlessly ? ross : well , what i 'm trying to say is that there 's so many other ways that danny could do good works in the community . michelle : yeah , except it 's what he wants to do . i mean , he really believes that this is the best way for him to continue doing all the good in the community , is to become mayor . and i 've given it a lot of thought , and i think it 's a really good idea . and i realize , ross , that you have a rough time when you ran for senate , but i think that you 're personal life was a lot more controversial then . ross : ouch . michelle : well , you know , with blake and holly and , i mean , danny and robbie and i are practically the brady bunch compared to you . ed : look , ross is just trying to get you to look at the situation realistically , you know , that 's all he 's trying to do . but we both want you to be happy . if this is what you want , i will stay so out of your way , i promise . michelle : no , but you ca n't stay out of the way . you have to be a huge part of this campaign . you , and mel , and rick and actually you and blake . i need all of you guys . look , i have to go , but i 'm not finished with you , okay ? you 're going to be passing out fliers and kissing babies . you 've got a lovely bunch of balloons there . jeffrey : would you [ interruption for special news report ] edmund : -- to my nephew and reminding him that he should be angry at him , not at reva , not at richard , me . he needs to come after me . and if i can help him make his future a bit more comfortable , if i can help him in whatever way i can , if i can just somehow make amends ... oh god . i do n't know , i do n't know if any good is going to come out of this , cassie . i just know i have to face him before i can face you . please , just give me a little more time , all right ? michelle : i ca n't wait for robbie to get home , he is going to love these . oh , no time was wasted , was there ? ( knock on door ) michelle : who is it ? marah : it 's me ! hey . michelle : hi . marah : oh , man , i thought i could get to you before you saw that . it 's unbelievable , is n't it ? michelle : well , no , i 'd actually be surprised if this did n't happen . they were just a little quicker than i thought they 'd be . marah : what about danny ? michelle : i do n't think he 's seen it yet . marah : well , we ca n't let them get away with this . michelle : guess what , they already have . and the question is , how are we going to fight back ? reva : a free dinner and entertainment . well , i have n't been offered that in a while . all i 've been doing is chasing my own family for a meal . but ... christopher : but dinner with me is too dangerous ? reva : no , it 's not that . christopher : damn it , i have always wanted to be too dangerous . reva : ( laughs ) i have an idea . what about dinner ? christopher : ooh . all right , you win . reva : but not at the country club . at company . christopher : ah , great , sounds good . casual , i do n't even have to change . reva : would you , please ? ( laughs ) christopher : all right fine , i 'll shower and change and i 'll see you in an hour . deal ? reva : deal . christopher : good . edmund : hello , sandy . may i join you ? sandy : no . why did you even bother asking ? edmund : we have important things to discuss . sandy : we have nothing to discuss . you 're the guy who wanted me dead , end of story . edmund : well , i 'm glad you realize i 'm the one to blame for everything you 've been through , at least . sandy : glad ... you are unbelievable . edmund : look , i know you 're having a hard time accepting the ovations from your family , especially your mother . i want you to realize that they 're not responsible for what happened to you . i am . they 're upset about it . they 're upset about what happened to you , just as you are . sandy : i doubt that . so tell me something , uncle edmund , what 's in this for you ? from what i 've seen around town , everyone has some crazy past they 're trying to escape . they think if they do a couple good deeds they can leave it all behind them and become springfield citizen of the month . is that your plan ? edmund : well , no , i had n't thought about that , but it 's not such a bad plan . sandy , i know you 're not going to forgive me -- ever . but you 're wasting your time being angry at the rest of your family . do n't do it . please . i know . build relationships with them . sandy : okay , finished ? edmund : no , no , i 'm not . there 's something i want you to have . this belonged to your great - grandfather , and your father carried it most of his adult life . sandy : and if were n't for you he would have given it to me himself . thanks , but no thanks . i do n't want it . i never got to know the man . edmund : all right , i 'll ... i 'll keep it in the safe at the beacon for you . if you want , just ... just ask your aunt cassie . there 's one more thing . there 's one more thing i 'd like to do . i 'd like to help you with your schooling , financially . there 's a banker down in san cristobel who is authorized to pay all of your bills . sandy : please , stop . stop with the fake apologies and the family heirlooms and the big , fat checks . none of it 's going to work . i 'm on to you uncle edmund . me showing up like this is a big threat to you , is n't it ? you 're going all out to make nice . but for all i know you 're just getting ready to stab me in the ribs with a knife -- again . michelle : so just give me a call when you get this message , okay ? i love you , honey , bye . you know , i just wish that we could come forward first , and confront all these issues before everyone else could take their shot at him . danny has n't even announced yet . marah : you know what ? you can still fight back . i 'll bet my mom would help . she could have him on the show , he could make his case . michelle : i do n't know , maybe . maybe not , though . but you would be surprised how many people are against danny running for mayor . and your mom , she could be one of them . marah : even still , she would help him out . she could have him on the show , you guys could come on the show , robbie could come on at the end , and you can paint a whole family picture . the town would love that . michelle : i do n't know , because i have this feeling that i 'm not going to be danny 's biggest asset . marah : are you kidding ? michelle : no , i 'm not . i could be the one who messes this whole thing up for him . marah : how ? michelle : because i just ... i get too emotional , you know ? i know what danny 's gone through to get where he is , and i hate it when people come after him . like right now , i 'm totally fighting this urge to go down to that newspaper office and start busting heads . i 'm serious . some future first lady i 'm going to be , right ? marah : no , there 's nothing wrong with that feeling . you just have to learn how to channel it . maybe some scream therapy . michelle : ah , right . marah : no , seriously , someone actually recommended it to me recently , and it really works . okay , those balloons are way out there . are they robbie 's ? michelle : well , they are now . i was at towers earlier with my dad and ross , and we were having a really , really good time watching jeffrey o'neill trying to act all cool when they were delivered to him . he was horrified . and now he owes me big - time because i took them off his hands . what ? marah : nothing . can i have one of these fortune cookies ? michelle : yeah . that 's weird , though , they were n't there before . i ca n't remember the last time we had chinese food . marah : maybe nico ? michelle : maybe . marah : you want one ? michelle : sure , because i 'd like to check out this fortune . ed : thanks for trying to open michelle 's eyes , ross . ross : i hate to burst your bubble , but i just do n't think that it would be good for the reputation of the community to have danny santos as the mayor . ed : i do n't think it would good for any of us . jeffrey : hi ross , dr. bauer . ed : hey ! jeffrey : how you doing ? do you mind if i join you ? how you doing ? ross : good , jeffrey , but you look a little lost . perhaps you should have thought twice about giving away all your balloons to old michelle . ed : ( laughs ) jeffrey : that 's good . just get it all out of your system now , okay ? ed : no , seriously , my grandson reacts exactly the same way when he loses ... when he loses a balloon . it 's perfectly natural . ross : well , we would n't know that firsthand , ed , because nobody 's ever sent us balloons , have they ? ed : they have not . jeffrey : finished , done ? ed : for now , yes . jeffrey : and good . ross : yes , it is good ... ( laughs ) ... because we would like your opinion with a problem we 've been struggling with . jeffrey : as long as it does n't involve balloons . ed : not a balloon in it , no . ( laughs ) ross : you know , if his honor , leonard , chooses not to run again , danny santos is thinking of running for mayor . jeffrey : oh . so you guys are doing some preliminary polling , is that what you 're doing ? ross : well , in a way , yes , i guess we are because ed is concerned about the ramifications of a mayoral race on his family . jeffrey : well , you know better where the bodies are buried than i , doc . but if you really want my gut reaction to danny running , i say , well , sure , why not ? i mean , it 'd be great if he ran . ross : really ? why do you say that ? jeffrey : well , for one thing , he would n't be hassling me about my beard and my long hair and my favorite pair of sneakers like mayor hamilton does , so he 'd have my vote for that alone . ed : well , that 's one way to choose a mayor . jeffrey : and what are your criteria ? ed : oh , i do n't know , competence , integrity , something like that . jeffrey : yeah , well , those are rare commodities these days . no , but i really would vote for a former criminal like danny santos rather than some of these unindicted criminals that might find themselves in the race . for one thing , he will work hard because he 's got something to prove . and he 's not going to put up with a lot of the bull that some of these people put up with around here . ross : well , that 's a unique viewpoint . thank you for sharing . jeffrey : do n't send balloons , okay ? ross : ( laughs ) cassie : hey ! ( laughs ) ed : oh , hi , cassie . ross : how are you ? cassie : how are you ? ross : will you join us ? cassie : mr. o'neill . no , no , i am meeting edmund for dinner , and our table 's ready . i just wanted to stop by and say hi , and bye . jeffrey : she 's crazy about me . ross : yes , i picked up on that one . ed : it was nice of you to stop by . jeffrey : actually , i 'm going to stay and say hello to my good pal , cassie . see you guys . ross : bye . jeffrey : there we go . just thought i 'd keep it warm until his majesty arrives . edmund : i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry , i knew this would upset you , but i thought ... sandy : goal accomplished , good for you . edmund : no , that 's not what i 'm saying . that 's now what i 'm saying . look ... sandy : did you hear a word of what i said ? look , i 'm not going to help you earn your family merit badge . there 's nothing you can do to fix things between us . and as for you telling me how i should feel about the rest of my brand - new family , i know they want things to be okay for me . reva , cassie , marah , even shayne and josh , they 're real people , and they 're trying to make things better . they know i had a hard time and they 're trying to help me become part of the family . they 're not the perfect family , but they 're human . and you , when i look at you , i do n't see anything remotely human . so if i do get closer to being part of the family , i can promise you this : i will do whatever it takes to keep you on the outside looking in . i think that 's only fair . reva : hi , sandy . sandy : hi . reva : well , well . what was that ? edmund : with sandy ? well , i was trying ... i was trying to do too many things at once and it basically blew up in my face . reva : ah . edmund : `` ah `` ? reva : let 's just say , i understand how it feels . you upset him . edmund : i was trying to give him things he did n't want . i also tried to make sure he understood that i was to blame for everything , and he should be angry at me , not you and not the rest of your family . i want to help . reva : and what did sandy think about that ? edmund : well , he did n't buy it for a minute . reva : hmm , as much as i 'd like to , i 'm not buying it , either . marah : okay , this ... this is weird . michelle : they 're really beautiful . i mean , at first i thought it was danny , but then they 're two . marah : you know , maybe it 's one for each finger . yeah , that 's it , now i feel better . michelle : well , do n't , i do n't think danny did this . i mean , he 's done some pretty crazy things , but i do n't think this is one of them . well , maybe this 'll explain . marah : `` marah , you 're better off without him . `` okay , now this is really freaking me out . michelle : okay mine . `` you forgot to vacuum the blinds last week . `` marah : ( laughs ) michelle : this is so not funny . marah : okay , this is maybe a little funny . michelle : no . marah : what is going on ? michelle : it 's not a what , it 's a who . who is doing this ? and i 'll tell you what , i think it 's a pretty easy one . marah : what are ... who are you calling ? michelle : marina , because if my hunch is right ... ( doorbell rings ) marina : you guys , the craziest thing just happened . cassie : well , thank goodness you stopped by reva 's the other night . jeffrey : oh , you mean the family dinner from hell ? cassie : you did kind of lighten the mood a little bit . jeffrey : yeah . cassie : i guess we needed some outside influence . jeffrey : well , family dinners from hell normally benefit from outside influence . cassie : you are so cynical . jeffrey : no , i just felt sorry for those kids . cassie : yeah , they have been trough a lot . jeffrey : especially marah . cassie : what do you mean , especially marah ? did she talk to you about something . jeffrey : well , we talked , yeah , of course we talked in the car when i took her home . cassie : okay , well ? jeffrey : well , i do n't think i should divulge the details of our conversation to you . i was going to tell reva , but she seems so overwhelmed right now with this sandy thing ... cassie : okay , well , i am marah 's aunt , okay . so , i think if you know anything that can help us help her , you should tell me . jeffrey : you know , for once in your life , i think you might be right . okay , mrs. winslow . i think your niece has problems , big problems . marina : you guys , though , this is like the craziest thing , okay , because i 'm looking through my purse for my car keys and ... and it 's just sitting there . and of course at first , you know , i think it 's probably from shayne , but that did n't really seem right . michelle : yeah , for a split second i thought mine was from danny , but that would have been the nice , normal answer . marah : right , but there was no such luck . are you two thinking what i 'm thinking ? marina : do you guys think this is form her ? michelle : from carrie ? marah : who else ? marina : well , i do n't know though . i mean , i do n't know much about jewelry , but these look like they 're pretty expensive rings . michelle : well , maybe it 's a bribe . she wants us to keep quiet . marah : she did want us to keep this a secret . edmund : reva , i understand what you 're thinking . reva : and i understand that you are trying to be a part of this family because of cassie . but i 'm trying to develop a relationship with my son . and in order to do that , i need you to back off . edmund : all right , understood , fair enough . i need you to understand that i 'm trying to do the right thing . reva : i hope so . because if you 're trying to find absolution for a guilty conscience from a child , then that just would n't be fair . edmund : i 'm not looking for absolution , reva . i 'm looking to spend the rest of my life with cassie . cassie : if you have any information about marah , you have an obligation to tell someone in her family ... jeffrey : i said i was going to tell you . cassie : ... i mean , it is so important that we know what 's going on with marah ... jeffrey : i said i was going to tell you . cassie : what 's going on ... jeffrey : would you just be quiet for one second in your life , please ! i said i was going to tell you , but i would like to ask a question first , if you do n't mind . cassie : so ask . jeffrey : thank you . do you think that marah , you know , has issues with men ? cassie : no , not any more than any young woman ... jeffrey : no , i 'm talking about specific issues , like father issues , you know , like maybe her dad was n't around when she was young so she needs the attention of older men type of thing . cassie : no , no . josh was the one constant in her life , and they 're still very close . jeffrey : well , there goes that theory . cassie : where are you going with this ? jeffrey : i just think that marah needs to talk to , you know , yes , talk to an older more mature , experienced woman that can help her with some of these things she is going through , you know , that concern older men and things ... cassie : what things ? jeffrey : well , certain things that she needs to know about older men . cassie : no . oh , no . jeffrey : now hold on , it 's just you do n't ... you do n't quite understand . cassie : you cradle - robbing creep . you 've been hitting on my niece ? this is low . even for you . michelle : next , on guiding light : carrie : you 've all got the rings . michelle : yes , three identical rings . carrie : no , four . cassie : i should have known . i should have seen it . i should have seen it all along . marah : seen what ? jeffrey : you 're jealous , you 're jealous of marah . josh : i 'm just thinking it should be me sitting over there with her right now . i should be the one that she 's you know , gazing into my eyes and talking about intimate stuff with . billy : what the hell you doing over here , then ?

[ scene_break ] reva : you know , it 's just like a doctor to say hurry up and then keep you waiting . jeffrey : that sounds more like the government . reva : what ? jeffrey : just remember , i 'm right here with you , okay ? doctor : good afternoon . reva : is it ? you know , the last time i had a cancer scare , the doctor wound up telling us that we were pregnant . so , what kind of a surprise do you have for us today ? jeffrey : wait . i do n't understand . doctor : the blood tests that we ran on reva , it indicated that we need to look at her bone marrow . reva : leukemia ? doctor : we 'll need the results from the bone marrow before we can confirm . jeffrey : but that 's what you think it is ? doctor : yes . jeffrey : so this is n't related to the breast cancer ? doctor : most likely , no . reva : so you 're telling me i have ... a second form of cancer ? doctor : you should consider yourself lucky . reva : excuse me ? doctor : breast cancer is difficult to detect in pregnant women . breast cancer shows up white , and so does dense breast tissue . it 's like looking for a white car in a snowstorm . reva : and that makes me lucky . doctor : well , i know of a woman who needed a biopsy ... there was the fear that the painkillers could damage the fetus . so she had the biopsy without any . it took three people to hold her down . jeffrey : maybe we can focus on reva . doctor : i was just trying to make a point . it could be worse . if it turns out to be leukemia , we can treat it with a combination of drugs and biologic therapies . reva : you mean chemo ? doctor : yes . but there is no reason to panic . it appears we caught it early . reva : no reason to panic ? the last time i had chemo it nearly killed me . how is my baby supposed to survive that ? doctor : i know that you stopped your meds to take care of your baby , but that has to change now . it 's time to put your health first . i 'm sure your husband would agree . reva : no . my husband and i have the same priority , and that is to have a healthy baby . doctor : i 'm not your ob / gyn . the baby is not my patient , you are . my priority is saving your life , and that 's why it 's my recommendation that you terminate your pregnancy . reva : go to hell .

( laughs ) i should have known . i should have seen it . i should have seen it all along . cassie : see what ? jeffrey : you 're jealous . you 're jealous of marah . she has the gumption to go after what she wants , and you 're jealous of the girl . marah : okay , somebody obviously wanted us to find these rings . marina : yeah , and not just any someone . marah : they are so beautiful . what do you think they 're for ? marina : well , they 're scarabs . i 'm taking this introduction to anthropology course . and scarabs , i mean , they were ... they were everywhere in ancient egypt . they were on pottery , inside of walls , and ... and crafted into jewelry . marah : what do they mean ? marina : i think they 're a symbol for life . or death . michelle : all right , well , raise your scarab if you think this is a gift from you - know- who . marina : but this is just the sort of thing she would do . but i mean , how are we supposed to find out ? michelle : i do n't know . marah : we could ask her . marina : well , she just kind of comes and goes as she pleases . does anyone else think that 's a little creepy ? michelle : uh - huh . marah : yeah . that she can get through all these tunnels and just magically appear ; that she can see us , but we ca n't see her ? this is the stuff that horror movies are made out of . marina : well , how are we supposed to contact her ? it 's not like we can just write her an e - mail . carrie : well , you could try . but i do n't think i 'd answer . i 've never been really very fond of computers . well , i see you 've all got the rings . michelle : yes , three identical rings . carrie : no , four . marina : so you planted the rings ? marah : what are the rings for ? michelle : do they mean something ? carrie : well , i 'll be delighted to tell you if someone would mix me a sazerac . michelle : um ... ( laughs ) ... what 's a sazerac ? carrie : alas , it 's the most delicious cocktail , but i fear it 's gone with the wind like so many other things . do you think you could manage a sherry ? michelle : sure , sure . carrie : well , the rings . the rings come from egypt . they were worn during the dynasty of ramses i or the ii . they were created for royal women , women of extraordinary powers . you had to be worthy to wear them . marah : and what about the scarab symbol ? carrie : oh very powerful . the ancient egyptians believed that the scarab was a symbol of rebirth and resurrection . they 're only four left in the modern world . marina : and these are them ? carrie : these are they . the legend has it that they have great power . great power to do good or ... michelle : or what ? carrie : or not . do you know someone named , oh , remy boudreau ? marah : yeah , he lives with us at the museum . why ? marina : he 's shayne 's best friend . carrie : well , he certainly tells a mean story . michelle : what story ? marina : oh , you remember the one about the curator who ... who brought this incredible egyptian exhibit into springfield ? marah : that 's right , and the night of the exhibit , he had vanished or something . and then a couple of weeks later he was found dead in a sarcophagus , right ? carrie : these stories , these fabulous stories have a way of changing the more often they are repeated . the truth is the poor man died in an asylum . he 'd gone quite , quite mad . michelle : wait a minute . and then these rings were the cause of that ? carrie : oh , well , i do n't think so . but of course we 'll never know , will we ? and the legend persists that these rings have great power to do good or ... well , i guess it all depends on ... on what you wish . marina : you mean like an actual `` wish `` wish ? carrie : a wish is a wish , my dear . bill : unbelievable . they print an opinion piece before they even have the facts . eden : some people are going to have their minds made up about danny santos running for mayor . bill : before he even runs ? i mean we have n't officially declared yet . listen to this . ( clears throat ) `` unnamed sources have confirmed the possibility of a santos run . if the report is true and against all odds , springfield votes the former gangster into office , his election would be akin to putting dracula in charge of a blood bank . `` i mean that is just terrific . eden : you were sucker- punched , sweetie . bill : yeah , and you know what they did ? they put it in the late edition so it 's the last thing people read . so when they wake up in the morning and they go to work and they see a pollster standing outside , they can trash danny . eden : it 's called politics . bill : yeah , well , he 's not going to like it . and neither is michelle . she 's going to start to get so worried ... ( knock on door ) ... and i do n't know what 's going to happen . because once she gets worried , then she 's going to start to get worried about robbie , and then she may even start to ... i do n't know , try to talk danny out of running . i do n't know what 's going to happen . danny : hey , i can hear you through the door . bill : hey . did you read the newspaper ? danny : uh - huh . rough stuff . bill : all right , well , listen , before you say anything , okay , you will win this . danny : are we going to do this old eden style ? because i would love a guaranteed victory . bill : yeah , well , let me tell you something . we 're going to do whatever it takes , okay ? we will fight for every vote . i do n't want you to have second thoughts because of some stupid article , all right ? we got blindsided . danny : bill , it 's okay . it is . i 'm still in . bill : you are ? danny : yeah . what , you think some bad ink in the daily fish wrap is going to stop me ? i thought you were a true believer . bill : ah , hey , hey . eden : ah , he is . and you are going to see a lot more of him than me . bill : yeah . danny : well , i hope so . i could n't ask for a better campaign manager . bill : well , listen , i know you just wanted to test the waters , put your feelers out there . you did n't expect to go bare knuckles with the press right off the bat . eden : oh , they are definitely using scare tactics early . danny : that 's right , they are . and i plan to make them eat every word . cassie : i 'm jealous of marah ? are you out of your mind ? jeffrey : marah 's young . she 's beautiful . she has the gumption to go after what she wants . and she knows what she wants , and ... i 'm insane . cassie : yeah , you are . marah has a wonderful , very broken heart , mr. o'neill . and if she , for a moment of rotten misjudgment , looked at you twice , it was a mistake . so get over yourself . jeffrey : sorry . cassie : what was that ? jeffrey : you heard me . what , i have to repeat myself ? i said i 'm sorry . cassie : well , i thought being mr. jeffrey o'neill means never having to say you 're sorry . jeffrey : we both agree i 'm insane , right ? cassie : yes . jeffrey : i just think that this girl ... sorry , this young woman , she 's ... she 's got me all mixed up , and i really did ... mrs. winslow , i really did try to push her away . cassie : same way you pushed away beth , huh ? i think we all saw how you distracted those affections , right ? so where were you trying to lure marah ? jeffrey : if you 'd stop accusing me for one second , okay , you 'd see that there 's a reason i came over to talk to you . i came over here to talk to you because i thought that someone like you , a woman like you , could have a one- on - one with marah , heart to heart . cassie : like me ? jeffrey : yes , a woman like you . a woman , you know , who 's been on the experienced side of life . cassie : who 's been a tramp . jeffrey : what ? no , i did n't ... cassie : yeah , because you know that i used to be a stripper , so you 're thinking , `` hey , strippers know everything about sex , `` right ? so you want me to have a sex talk with marah about you . jeffrey : what i meant ... what i meant was , you know , that you 've been there , you 've done that , okay ? you 're past all this emotional , crazy stuff , right ? i mean you 've been around the block . you 've been way around ... the block and i 've ... done it again , have n't i ? josh : i 'll have whatever you have on tap . thank you . billy : and i 'll have ginger ale . and ... are you just going to sit over here like a snipped bull , or are you going to walk over there ? josh : can we just have a quiet drink , please ? billy : no problem . josh : would that be okay with you ? billy : hey , i think it 's great that she 's got a nice friend like dr. langham . josh : really ? billy : oh , yeah , yeah . no , allows her to really focus in on her work with christopher . reva : so this evening is supposed to be about fun , and here i am unloading my problems on you . christopher : come on , reva . friends can listen . reva : i 'm not trying to put you back on the clock , doc . i mean , this is supposed to be a light , enjoyable meal with sparkling conversation . christopher : yeah , why do n't you just drop it ? reva : i 'm not very good at pretending everything 's okay . christopher : ( laughs ) no , you 're not . so come on , give me the rest of it . reva : well , it 's really very simple . as complicated as my life is right now , i feel so blessed to have my son back . christopher : reva , you 've been given a second chance . and people do n't like to mess that up , and thus , you are stressed . welcome to the human race . here 's to second chances . now , i 'd like to toast something else . not a new beginning , but the end of our research project . reva : are we done ? christopher : you are . i 'm going to continue ... reva : no , wait , wait . ( laughs ) this ca n't be . i mean , i 'm sorry if i 'm sounding like a child here , but you 're abandoning me . christopher : reva , there 's just too many other demands on your life . i ca n't in good conscience take any more time that could be spent with your family . billy : your eyeballs are going to dry out staring over there like ... josh : billy , just ... just stop , okay ? i 'm just thinking it should be me sitting over there with her right now . i should be the one that she 's , you know , gazing into my eyes and talking about intimate stuff with . you know , it should be me . billy : what the hell are you doing over here then ? josh : if she wanted me to be with her , i would be with her . billy : oh , she wants you . you just have to agree to her terms . josh : i do n't know what they are . billy : well , then you got nothing to lose , because i do n't think she does either . reva : when did you get the idea that our friendship did n't matter to me ? i mean , whatever is going on with us is n't just about research . christopher , you are the only one who truly understands what it feels like to be able to see things the way i can . christopher : then maybe that is not such a good idea , considering the fact that i know at least one person who would give everything he could to be a part of your life again . reva : joshua is one of ten different directions i 'm being pulled in . now , you said yourself that you were going to be here to help me out any way you could . are you going to make yourself out a liar by quitting on me ? christopher : okay , how about a compromise ? as soon as your life settles down to a manageable level , we 'll start our studies again . in the meantime ... reva : friendship . christopher : friendship . reva : deal . ( glasses clink ) josh : hi , there . reva : joshua . josh : i was just wondering if we were pretending like we do n't see each other , or ... christopher : hey , josh . how are you doing ? josh : i 'm okay , thank you . how are you , christopher ? nice to see you . how 's the research going ? christopher : well , it 's on hold for the moment . reva : actually , we 're just taking a little break for a while . josh : oh , i see . so this is ... this is a casual kind of a ... i 'm sorry , i did n't mean to interrupt . reva : joshua , wait . you 're not interrupting anything . christopher : why do n't you join us , josh ? josh : uh , you know what ? some other time . i 'm here with my brother . billy : hey , hey , hey , hey . hey , wait a minute . i 'd love to chew the fat with reva and the doctor here . i 'm sure we 've all got a lot to talk about . jeffrey : thank you . all right , let me just try this again , and i 'll try not to insert my other foot into my mouth . marah respects you , okay ? you 're more than family to her . she trusts you . she listens to you . so , you know , you can tell her about men . cassie : like which ones to avoid like the plague ? jeffrey : yeah , okay , i 'm the plague , okay ? i 'm a ... i 'm a pox on all young womanhood . tell her that and then tell her to leave me alone , okay ? she 'll listen to you . cassie : because i know how to choose men . jeffrey : yeah , that 's it . you know how to choose men . cassie : edmund will be happy to hear that from you . jeffrey : ( laughs ) i was n't talking about eddie boy , okay ? i 'm talking about your dead husband , prince di ... richard . he was a saint , right ? everyone knows that . he was a saint , and he had my looks , so he must have been a good - looking guy . cassie : you just ca n't help it , can you ? jeffrey : what ? cassie : i mean , you think you are the center of the universe . everything revolves around jeffrey o'neill , right ? what women find remotely attractive about you ... jeffrey : well , i guess you 're confused by my charm , mrs. winslow . the good lord has a plan for everyone . cassie : so now you 're god 's gift to women . jeffrey : one or two . cassie : you are a conceited , insufferable jerk , and i am going to tell my niece to stay as far away from you as possible . photographer : a picture of your evening together ? jeffrey : i 'll take 50 copies , please . bill : okay , what we 've got to do is get out in front of the character issue , okay ? being a santos is going to be your biggest hurdle . eden : but he ca n't change who he is . bill : well , no , but we can help you be irresistible to voters , okay ? they have to be able to identify with you . danny : bill , let 's be real here . the santos family has a lot to answer to , and i have got a lot to prove to make people trust me . eden : been there . danny : right . so , the question is , are people willing to give a second chance to someone who proves himself worthy ? eden : ask yourself : are you willing to give me a second chance ? danny : can i have your vote ? ( laughter ) bill : listen , danny , all you 've got to do is say the word and this campaign officially begins . ( cell phone ringing ) danny : hold that thought . danny santos . nico : boss , it 's nico . danny : hey , what 's up ? where are you ? nico : can you hear that ? crowd ( chanting ) : danny ! danny ! nico : i 'm down at the redevelopment office , and people are chanting your name . they 're marching around and they 're not happy . you 'd better come down here and show your face before things get ugly . danny : okay , i 'm on my way . uh , seems there 's a kind of a crowd gathering down in the fifth street area . i think they want my head . bill : whoa . whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa . danny , i 'm not going to let you go down there without security , okay ? danny : bill , what security ? we do n't have anything in place . bill : you 're not going to go alone , okay ? danny : well , bill , if i 'm going to be the mayor of this town , i think i 've got to do this on my own . marah : you really expect us to believe in wishing rings ? carrie : i expect nothing . believe what you wish . i thought you three could do with a little magic in your lives . marah : i would n't even know what to wish for . carrie : well , michelle , what about you ? you 've got this wonderful house , a husband who 's devoted to you , a little child . surely there 's something that you wish for . michelle : look , i have n't really even thought about it . carrie : oh , my dear . what a lack of imagination . i think you 'd all three better give me back the rings . i fear they 're wasted on the three of you . michelle : wait , wait . there is something . carrie : ah . caveat emptor . but do be careful . wishes that come true some time are a very , very mixed blessing . michelle : well , that 's the story of my life . it 's a mixed blessing . carrie : well . well , my dear michelle , shall we make a wish ? well all right , michelle , my honey lamb , it 's your wish . speak up . well , come on , you two . do n't just stand there like frightened bunny rabbits . help her . marina : how ? carrie : well , concentrate . okay , honey . just go for it . michelle : i wish that santos could be a name that people respect , that it could be a name that stood for honesty and generosity . danny has worked really hard to change the family business and to change himself , and i see it and my friends and family see it , and i just want ... carrie : you want everybody else to see it , too . michelle : yes , yes . i want everyone to recognize what he 's accomplished and to accept him and to accept all of us as good people . that 's my wish . i 've never said that out loud . carrie : that was a very lengthy wish , but extremely worthy . michelle : and impossible , so ... carrie : well , no , no , no , no . do n't say that . marah : michelle , that was beautiful . marina : yeah . are you okay ? michelle : yeah , but i mean , who am i kidding ? this is my reality , and i might as well wait until my birthday and just blow out the candles and make the wish . carrie : oh , no . do n't ever knock birthday wishes . a little child , when he blows out the candles on his cake , does n't think the wish is ridiculous . he 's too busy believing and hoping that it will all come true . bill : oh , i never should have let danny go down there by himself . i mean , if it 's true what nico said , that there 's an angry mob down there who want to tear him into pieces ... eden : this is something danny said that he had to do on his own . bill : yeah , well , i 'm the one who got him into it . eden : please . do you really think that you could talk danny santos into doing anything that he did n't want to do ? bill : i guess not . thanks for the vote of confidence . eden : you 're missing the point , sweetie . bill : well , enlighten me . eden : whatever happens today , you 've done a wonderful thing . what you did do was give danny a spark . no one else in this world would have said to him that he could run for mayor . he would have never thought of that himself . and you gave him the belief that it was actually possible . bill : how did you get so smart about stuff like this , huh ? eden : since you did the same thing for me . bill : what are you talking about ? eden : i always admired danny , but he treated me like something on his shoe . but today , for the first time , he noticed me . why ? because i 've changed . you look at me in a very special way , bill , and because you love me , i believe in myself in ways that i never thought possible . you 've shown me that i can ask for more of myself , deserve more for myself . that 's a gift . it just so happens you gave danny the same thing . bill : well , i just hope it does n't get his head torn off . cassie : i did n't ask to have my picture taken . photographer : it 's a new service we 're offering here at towers . cassie : great . this is what happens when i sell the place . oh , my god , this is a terrible picture of me . my eyes are slits ; my mouth is wide open . i look like a moose . jeffrey : yeah , you kind of do . and you 're threatening an officer of the court with bodily harm by breadstick . you and a breadstick , very suggestive . cassie : you 're a pig . jeffrey : i 'll give you five bucks for it . cassie : oh , no . wait a minute . what , so you can hang it on the dart board down at the da 's office ? i do n't think so . i do n't want there to be any physical evidence that i was even in the same room with you . jeffrey : $ 20 . you 're right , mrs. winslow , but this picture is better than any fbi mug shot we have down at the office , and the boys downtown are going to love this . cassie : $ 25 . jeffrey : $ 30 . cassie : $ 40 . i want that picture . billy : you know , even though you 're my brother , i think i might have to take exception to that . josh : you see , christopher , my brother billy has been all around the world , but he 's still basically just an unrefined cowboy at heart . billy : no . you see , doc , i 'm a skeptic . now , you must come across those in your business a lot . christopher : well , most people have trouble believing in something they ca n't see or touch . billy : well , no , no , no . now , you folks up in the ivory tower think that way , but down here on earth , we just call it faith . however , i am fascinated by the amount of time that reva has spent with her power and total strangers . reva : meaning what ? billy : meaning that you 've helped a lot of people that you hardly even know and you 'll probably never see again -- at least not in this world -- and i 'm just wondering if maybe you might want to think about focusing on those people that you see more often , like your kids or your husband . those kind of people . i guess it 's a little easier to empathize with total strangers . christopher : perhaps ... billy : well , you know what my theory is ? that your family can tell when you 're a fraud , and total strangers believe anything until they start thinking for themselves . christopher : well , no one can make one do or believe something that one resists . it 's kind of like alcoholism . you can either take that next drink or you can pour it down the drain . see , human beings have will and desire , and therefore choice . billy : very good . are you psychic , too , or did reva tell you about my alcoholism ? christopher : the ginger ale you ordered at the bar ; the body language . billy : i bet you can even guess my weight , huh ? you 've got reva believing that you can change water into wine and predict the future . what else have you got her believing in , doc ? reva : well , he 's your brother , joshua . either you muzzle him , or i will . billy : now , hold on . i apologize . i did not mean to offend . i just got caught up in your research , and i wanted to point out that maybe changing priorities is something you might consider . i think shayne and marah might like it . reva : how dare you ... josh : okay , okay , okay . billy , you know what ? that 's enough . christopher : reva , today was supposed to be about relieving pressure , not amplifying it . reva : yeah , well , my day did n't include being attacked by a 50-foot okie . christopher : billy , you should come down to my office at the university sometime . i 'd be happy to share my research with you . reva : you know something ? that would be a waste of time , because all billy truly understands are poor judgments , grudges , and insults . christopher : i do n't buy that . i bet you 'd prefer to be perceived as the kind of guy who 's open to new ideas . billy : what are you going to do ? get me in your room and shrink my head ? reva : ( laughs ) there is n't a couch big enough in the world for that . christopher : can i buy you another ginger ale , billy ? josh : i 'm sorry , i 'm sorry . ( laughs ) i 'm sorry . once he gets going , there 's no stopping him . you know that . so , how are you doing , stranger ? reva : what ? what , joshua ? how could you do that ? how could you bring him over here ? josh : i did n't bring him over here . i was just wondering if you knew how it is that we ended up where we are . reva : well , i believe it had something to do with devastating accidents and crushing disappointments . josh : okay , okay . i was also wondering if you believed at all that it was possible , maybe , for us to find our way back to something more . reva : more what ? josh : just something more . jeffrey : $ 50 ! $ 50 . what is that ? that purse is a bottomless pit . cassie : ( laughs triumphantly ) jeffrey : what ? cassie : you know what that is ? jeffrey : what ? cassie : that is a platinum card . no spending limit . so , do you want that measly $ 50 or do you want to take me for everything i have ? photographer : it 's just a picture . cassie : of me , with him . you do n't know how long that it will haunt me for . i hate him . please give me the picture . photographer : i only take cash . jeffrey : only cash . cassie : wait , wait , wait , wait . then we can find an atm machine . jeffrey : thank you . photographer : thank you . it 's been exciting . jeffrey : ooh , you know , i really like this side of you . it 's not exactly the beautiful blonde from the beacon , is it ? no , no , no , no . this is more like a nasty princess fresh off of her pea . huh ? in all of her glory and all of her lunacy . cassie : give it to me . jeffrey : no . cassie : give it to me . jeffrey : no . cassie : give me that picture . jeffrey : no . cassie : give me that picture . jeffrey : no . cassie : give me that picture ! jeffrey : no ! cassie : what is wrong with you ? ( glasses breaking ) jeffrey : let go . cassie : if you do n't give me that picture ... jeffrey : mrs. winslow , stop it ! cassie : all right . jeffrey : let go ! cassie : this is what harley showed me . jeffrey : ( screams ) waiter ? cassie : i 'll take a manhattan , please . jeffrey : i 'll take a double whiskey with a water back . and some ice , please . so harley taught you how to break thumbs ? cassie : yep . jeffrey : smooth . carrie : who 's next ? marina : i do n't have any wishes . i have a lot of homework to do , though , so ... carrie : ( laughs ) oh , my dear . homework is a chore . do n't confuse dreams with obligations . marina : i 'm not confused . carrie : well , perhaps you 're just afraid of being disappointed . marina : no , i 'm not . it 's just , wishes are things to live by when you do n't feel like working hard . you know , in life , a person can earn whatever they want , but nothing is just handed to you because you wish for it . carrie : that 's very noble , very american , very cooper . perhaps you 'd better give me back the ring until you 're ready for it . marina : fine . suit yourself . ( cell phone rings ) carrie : oh . oh , dear heaven , how i hate those things . why is it that we must always be tethered to everybody else all the time ? marah : hello ? hey , wanda . could n't i just meet dad at home ? okay , yeah , well if it 's important , it 's important . i 'll be there . bye . could i wish that my dad did n't drive himself so hard all the time ? carrie : well , you could try , but i do n't think it would work . josh lewis will always , always drive himself . marah : how do you know so much about my father ? carrie : well , i told all of you people , i know a lot of things about springfield and its citizens . marah : michelle , i hope your wish for danny and your family comes true . michelle : thanks . carrie : oh , marah ? do n't ever tell anybody about these rings or these wishes . oh , marah ? the ring . michelle : can you explain to me why all of this has to be so secret ? because i 'm starting to feel like i 'm playing a game , like a little girl . carrie : there are games and games , my dear . monopoly , bridge , russian roulette . the trick is knowing which ones are safe to play . nico : nico 's in the house ! michelle ? michelle ? michelle : yeah ? yeah ? nico : you should have seen all those people . i thought there was going to be a riot or something . michelle : what ? nico : danny almost got crushed by all those people in the crowd . michelle : what ? what do you mean ? what happened ? where 's danny ? nico : it was crazy . danny : i 'm right here . i 'm right here . hi . michelle : what happened to you . nico : i 'm going to get you some water . danny : okay . uh ... michelle : are you okay ? danny : yeah , i 'm fine . i 'm fine . michelle : what happened ? danny : nothing . nothing . i 've just ... i 've never been mobbed before . michelle : are you all right ? danny : thank you . i 'm fine . honey , i 'm fine . it was crazy . you would n't have believed it ; all these people ... michelle : what ? danny : ... from the fifth street neighborhood , they just ... they gathered together to support me for bringing that area up out of the ashes . it was ... nico : look , look , look . they were throwing money at danny . danny : look at this . nico : look at this . danny : it 's contributions , campaign contributions . nico : even checks . danny : look at all this . some kids ... honey , some kids , they broke open their piggy banks . i mean , these people do n't have any money , but they just ... they wanted to support me and thank me for ... for the new jobs and for safe streets and for just cleaning up the mess that my mother made . suddenly , i 'm a man of the people . it was unbelievable . what ? what ? michelle : no , i 'm happy . i 'm really happy . i 'm relieved and happy . hey , you have to go down to that bank and you have to open an official campaign fund because i do n't want you being arrested for stealing soft money . danny : can you believe this ? we survived the smear in the press and we started a war fund , all in one day . michelle : she was right . danny : who ? what ? michelle : nothing , nothing , nothing . someone told me that wishes could come true , and she was right . josh : you see , i could blame billy for everything that just happened , but i think that would be missing the mark . i 'm not you . i 'm not in your shoes . i 'm not having to deal with me and the things that i 've done . but i want you to know that my love for you and my love for the kids is everything to me , everything in my life . and when things were right between us ... reva : things were right in the world , too . josh : exactly . reva : it is for me , too , joshua . we used to finish each other 's sentences and complete each other 's thoughts . josh : you see , i think that kind of thing makes a man arrogant . it makes him think that he ca n't do anything wrong because how could anything possibly go wrong in such a perfect relationship ? we were building a life together , reva . reva : mm - hmm . it 's that together part that you forgot about . josh : i thought i was doing the right thing for ... reva : for shayne . i know . for shayne and his dreams about baseball . they also happened to be your dreams , and because you could n't separate the two , shayne is where he is , and you and i are where we are . josh : okay . see , i keep praying that we 're just sort of lost , you know , and that somehow we 're going to find our way back to each other . i have n't figured out how yet . reva : i ca n't figure it out , either . josh : but do you even ... do you wish that you could find your way back to me ? reva : every day . i just want to be sure of the man i come back to . marah : dad , are you here ? sandy : hi . marah : okay , um , i 'll just wait in the hall . sandy : josh is n't coming . marah : why not ? wanda told me to meet him here . sandy : i know , i know . i deliberately made up that message to get you down here , because you would n't have come if you knew i wanted to talk . marah : well , can you blame me ? i do n't really trust you . sandy : maybe you would if you knew how much i cared , how much i do n't want to see you get hurt . marah : all right , fine . you want me to bite ? you want me to act all interested in what you have to say ? okay . get hurt by doing what ? sandy : by giving your heart to someone who does n't deserve it . jeffrey : next time i think of asking you for advice , i 'll consider a root canal instead . cassie : yeah ? well , you want some advice ? here . why do n't you take a few courses on etiquette ? better yet , why do n't you take some obedience classes ? jeffrey : well , you know what ? i think the pit bull in this picture is the one who needs obedience classes . cassie : you 're calling me a pit bull ? jeffrey : if it looks like a beast , it acts like a beast , it is a beast . cassie : stay away from my niece , you cradle - robber . jeffrey : oh , nothing would give me greater pleasure than to stay away from you and that dysfunctional group that you call a family . cassie : great . then ignore us all ! starting with marah . jeffrey : woof . woof , woof ! yeah , you heard me . ( howls ) cassie : he 's such a jerk . josh : next on guiding light ... carrie : what if i told you that you could have anything in the world you wanted , and it would be granted ? what would you wish for ? josh : you 've already got another woman in your life , right , who 's making you crazy . so what is her name ?

[ scene_break ] lizzie : okay . so that was where i found the magazine . it did belong to bill . cyrus : and it had letters cut out of it ? lizzie : yeah , just like the ransom note . so when i realized that they had stuffed the coat under his bed , i had to do something . i could n't just sit there and let all of this evidence pile up . someone is trying to set him up . cyrus : you think someone planted the coat ? lizzie : absolutely . it 's just ... it 's just so evil . if they just knew ... if they just knew that he loves me , and i really love him . and i 've been through so much and i just really wanted to have a chance to have a life with him . cyrus : look ... look , he 's going to get off . he 's part of the lewis family . that means something in springfield . lizzie : i wish that it meant something , but my grandfather is a spaulding , and he went to jail , and my aunt alex went to jail . and pretty much everyone in my family has been there at one point or another . ca n't you think of anything ? what they might say about him next , or what they would plant ? cyrus : it 's hard to say without knowing the specifics of the case . lizzie : forget it . i do n't know why i thought you 'd understand . i 'm the only person who believes in him .

[ scene_break ] lizzie : is my grandfather here ? frank : he 's upstairs . lizzie : if he 's setting up more evidence ... beth : uh - uh , let 's not jump to conclusions . lizzie : well , he 's the one framing bill , so what am i supposed to do ? what are you doing ? what are you writing about bill ? alan : um , you 're not supposed to see this . lizzie : what ? because you 're framing bill ? you 're telling the police more lies ? beth : lizzie , what is it ? lizzie : it 's a confession . he 's telling the police that he was my kidnapper .

( sighs ) these were my brilliant idea . nico : he knows you want to go . he knows he ca n't take you . so ... so he scored some tickets and asked me to take you instead . marina : yeah , but i do n't want to go to the dance without shayne . why would he want me to go with another guy ? nico : he just wants you to have a good time . marina : i have fun with him ! nico : you 're not going to that night . marina : how do you know ? look , tell me . nico : what if it were you ? marina : what ? nico : what if what happened to shayne happened to you and you had to be out there pitching in ... i do n't know , game seven of the world series , but instead you say , `` no , i 'm going to skip the game because i want to hang out with marina . `` come on . you would be looking at him the entire night wanting to kill him for giving that up . marina : yeah , i ... i ... nico : well ? marina : i probably would , but i mean , this is ... this is just a dance . nico : it 's not just a dance . shayne loves to pitch and you love to dance . he told me you did . marina : i do . but it 's just ... nico : but because of him , you 're cooped up inside this room all the time . marina : and i 'm okay with that . nico : well , maybe shayne is n't . jeffrey : marah , you ca n't do this . marah : what ? jeffrey : you ca n't show up here at my room like this at this hour -- or at any hour , for that matter . marah : my aunt runs this hotel . my father is staying on the next floor . do you really think i care if anybody sees me ? jeffrey : i care . i care . do n't ... do n't ... please ... do n't ... do n't look at me like that . marah : jeffrey , i just need to talk to somebody , okay ? i have nowhere else to go . please ? jeffrey : i picked a hell of a night to get drunk , did n't i ? well , do n't just stand there . come in . marina : does shayne really feel like he 's holding me back ? because i do n't feel that way , and if i 've ever made him think that i feel that way ... nico : marina , he just wants to do something nice for you . i think it 's pretty big of him . most guys , they freak out if their girl even looks at another guy , and here shayne is , hooking you up with a catch like me . marina : why did you tell him that you would do it ? nico : i did n't at first , but he would n't even let me off the hook until i agreed to take you to this dance . marina : oh . nico : why ? you think i was into you or something ? do n't worry . you 're not my type . i 'm kidding , i 'm kidding . come on . what do you say ? marina : i just ... i do n't know , nico . it ... nico : shayne 's right . you deserve to go out and have a good time . marina : and you think that you can provide me with that ? nico : no , shayne does , but i 'm willing to take the challenge . you know , he does n't seem like the kind of guy who would ask for a whole lot . you 're not really going to deny him his wish , are you ? marina : i was just talking to someone who asked me what i 'd wish for if i could wish for anything . nico : what 'd you say ? marina : i wished that shayne would be able to walk again . nico : there you go . you wished for him and he wished for you . jeffrey : ( groans ) marah : this place is really nice . jeffrey : it 's just a hotel room like any other . marah : actually , aunt cassie said she did each one a little bit differently . jeffrey : yeah , well , who am i to argue with aunt cassie ? marah : is that a staircase leading out of this room ? jeffrey : do n't ... do n't ... do n't go in there , please . do n't go in there . marah : why not ? jeffrey : because . because this is not like some museum , okay ? and you 're not on a tour , you know , i have a stair stairway off the balcony , because i ... i asked for it . marah : why did you ask for it ? jeffrey : because i need to make a quick getaway sometimes . any other questions ? oh , my god ... ( groans ) marah : what are you so afraid of ? jeffrey : what am i so afraid of ? what are ... what are you doing here ? i mean ... is this about your brother again ? marah : hmm , i know that it is wrong for me to feel the way that i feel , but , god , i mean , how many times can i get rejected in one week ? sandy , tony , you . jeffrey : ( laughs in frustration ) marah : are you regretting it ? jeffrey : i 'm regretting the last three drinks i had . marah : great . so you are happy that you turned me down ? jeffrey : marah ... marah : you know what ? i do n't want to hear it . just tell me how you do it . jeffrey : how i do what ? marah : how ... how you keep things from getting messy . you know , you never ... you never get hurt because you never let anyone have that power over you . you just keep it simple . jeffrey : `` a condition of complete simplicity ... `` marah : `` ... costing not less than everything . `` jeffrey : i 'm impressed . you know eliot . marah : yes . i know a lot of things . unfortunately , they are all the kinds of things you learn from books . i 'm just tired of feeling like this . i do n't understand why my life is so complicated all the time . jeffrey : ( sighs ) the truth ? maybe it 's because you 're just a caring , gentle person . marah : and you 're not ? jeffrey : you know , marah , there are worse things that can happen , you know , than having your heart broken . marah : like what ? jeffrey , come on , jeffrey , give me something . jeffrey : i do n't know ! you know ? why do n't you just try this , okay ? just try putting everything into compartments . that 's what i do , okay ? just put things into compartments , like ... like socks , right ? you put socks ... where do you put socks ? you put socks into a sock drawer . you do n't ... you do n't put the underwear in with the socks because there 's an underwear drawer for that , and there 's no underwear in the sock drawer . that 's all . marah : what are you talking about ? jeffrey : i do n't know . i just think , you know , maybe if you did the same thing with what 's going on inside of you , you know ? you just put your thoughts over here and then put another thought over there and put your feelings over there , and keep them there , you know ? that 's all . marah : but there are so many different things that go on inside of a person . jeffrey : well , then create some more compartments . you know ? and pretty soon you 'll have so many compartments , okay , and you 're not going to remember where you put the feelings . and then you wo n't have to deal with them at all . voila ! marah : yes , well , that would be nice . i would love to just pack up all of my pain and ship it off somewhere , let it go . jeffrey : all right , fine . is that what you really , really want ? okay . then i 'll teach you . harley : there 's turkey hash , turkey stew , turkey kabobs . cassie : turkey costume . reva : yikes ! cassie : oh , rj is supposed to wear this for the thanksgiving parade , but i do n't know how to sew . harley : oh , i ordered it fresh . the turkey . i mean , is n't that the best way , that you 're supposed to get it , fresh turkey ? cassie : i do n't know , the supermarket works for me . reva : yeah , nothing wrong with a butterball . cassie : that 's right . harley : so i 've already ruined thanksgiving dinner . i wish my mother were here . cassie : oh . could she cook ? harley : no , she was terrible but she was a great distraction when i was having a crisis . cassie : come on , all you have to do is brine . harley : brine ? cassie : yeah . salt , brown sugar , a whole bunch of spices , let the turkey sit in it for about six hours , then roast the turkey on a low temperature so you do n't dry it out . harley : right . all right , let me write this down . reva : no , do n't bother . i mean , really , cassie , why slow roast when you can deep fry ? mmm . harley : deep fry a turkey ? really ? reva : yes . oh , yeah . cassie : well , if you want a greasy bird . reva : oh , come on ! brining is so boring . besides the crispy skin locks in all those juices . you cut into it , it cracks . oh ! cassie : if you have a pot as big as a swimming pool to put the bird in , or if you want a grease fire . reva : it takes an hour to cook . harley : and the winner is ! reva : you know what ? i 'm going to get you the glaze recipe because it 's bourbon and it 's pineapple . harley : wait , wait . i have to glaze this thing , too ? cassie : she does n't have to glaze . reva : no , no . yes , you have to glaze . cassie : not if she uses enough thyme . harley : time ? time for what now ? cassie : no , thyme 's a spice . reva : right . and cumin . you 're going to want cumin , too , c - u - m -- n . cassie : i like to use garlic . reva : no , you the save garlic for the stuffing . cassie : ( laughs ) do n't get me started on your stuffing . reva : since when do you have a problem with my stuffing ? cassie : ( laughs ) oh , i do n't have a problem with it ; i just like mine better . reva : harley ? use my stuffing recipe . harley : well , i was n't actually going to make stuffing . reva and cassie : you have to make stuffing ! harley : i ca n't do this . i 'm .. whaa ! i 'm in over my head . really , i 'm starting to realize that . my father is actually an old pro at this whole thing . i 'm going to let him handle it . reva : there you go . harley : thanks for everything , you guys . what was i thinking ? ah ! cassie : good luck . brine ! reva : if you do it , deep fry . harley : right . thanks . reva : ( laughs ) cassie : so , you think she 's going to work that out ? reva : no way . cassie : ( laughs ) reva : you know , if worse comes to worst , she can invite the whole clan over here because that bird that we 've got is big enough to feed half of springfield , and wait till you taste that bourbon - pineapple - glazed masterpiece ! cassie : you know , we were thinking ... well , i was thinking of starting a new tradition this year . reva : well , good . what can i do to help ? cassie : i was going to have thanksgiving dinner . we 're not coming here . harley : i blame you , you know . buzz : i know , and i 'm sorry . what did i do ? harley : you let me handle thanksgiving dinner . buzz : you would n't take no for an answer . i kind of need that , you know . harley : well , i have an idea . how about i stay here and i clean and you go home and you cook dinner ? i 'll whine if i have to . buzz : you 're not a whiner . harley : there 's a first time for everything . buzz : ( sighs ) including hosting thanksgiving dinner . harley : all right , i walked into that one . buzz : what happened to you ? you were excited about all this a few days ago . harley : because reality set in , dad . i ca n't cook a turkey . and i was going to forget about the stuffing , but ... buzz : oh , you have to have stuffing . you have to have stuffing . harley : yeah , that 's what everybody keeps telling me . buzz : who 's everyone ? harley : well , not everybody , but reva and cassie . i mean , look at this . i tried to write it all down , but there 's brine and there 's deep fry . and then there 's glaze or do n't glaze . and then there 's brown sugar and crispy skin and cumin -- i do n't think i spelled that right -- thyme ? buzz : let me see this . harley : thank you . buzz : this is crazy . harley : thank you . buzz : this is crazy . harley : see , i knew you 'd do this . i knew that you would help me out . i knew you 'd weed out all the stuff i should n't have to deal with . what are you doing ? daddy , that 's not weeding , that 's adding . buzz : do you want this done right or wrong ? the right way or the wrong way ? harley : which is easier ? buzz : have you learned nothing from me ? if you 're going to have a cooper thanksgiving , you 've got to have a cooper turkey . i mean , that includes parsley and olive oil , you know ? feta cheese . harley : this is not my big , fat greek thanksgiving . buzz : do you want my help or not ? harley : no . i do n't . i do n't want anybody 's help . i 'm going to figure it out all by myself . just make sure you show up tomorrow . buzz : okay . yeah , well , about that , i kind of , sort of ... harley : what ? buzz : um ... ... invited alexandra to dinner . harley : and the hits keep coming . reva : i never realized you had such a problem with deep - fried turkey . cassie : you know that 's not the reason . reva : yeah , well , i 'd rather blame it on my cooking than something i might have done . ouch . cassie : oh , come on . i love you and i love being here for the holidays . it 's ... i just ca n't ask edmund to be alone on thanksgiving , i ca n't . reva : oh , so that 's what this is about , the last family dinner ? cassie : listen , i know that you want to make sandy feel comfortable , okay ? and i understand that . but i should not have asked edmund to stay home . he did n't complain , he did n't say anything , but i know that i hurt him . and we have worked really hard to get where we are . reva : and you like where you are ? cassie : yes , i do . reva : i 'm sorry that i made you choose , cassie , between ... whatever . cassie : who are you calling ? reva : i 'm going to call edmund ... cassie : no , no , no , no . reva : ... and invite him to thanksgiving myself . cassie : no , wait , do n't . reva : it 's a holiday , cassie . it 's about family , okay ? cassie : ( sighs ) oh . reva : but that 's not it . that 's not all of it . is it something that i 've done ? cassie : no . look , reva , i ... ( sighs ) you know , a year ago , things were a lot different and i was in over my head , and i was trying to keep myself so busy so i would not miss richard , and it really did n't work . reva : you 've come a long way since then . cassie : yeah . and i want this thanksgiving to be like a fresh start for me . i really do , and i want to be at the head of my table with edmund and my kids , and i just really want it to be about us . reva : it can be about us here . besides , i 'm your sister . there 's some tradition in that , too . no dice , huh ? ( sighs ) you really need to do this ? cassie : but i 'll come for christmas . as long as you do n't deep - fry any birds or anything . reva : shush . give me a hug . oh , cassie . well , we 're going to miss you , but if you really feel like you need to do this ... cassie : yeah . reva : if it 's going to make you happy ... cassie : i am , you know . i am happy . i am happy . ( laughter ) jeffrey : all right , well , then , let 's see , where do we begin ? if you want to live a life devoid of emotion , it 's not going to be easy , you know . it 's going to ... it 's going to take some hard work to make sure that everything is in place , you know , but if that 's what you really want in the end , it 'll be worth it . marah : why ? jeffrey : well , because , you know , then you will be responsible only to yourself . cream and sugar ? marah : please . jeffrey : i mean , look at me . i do n't have to be responsible to anyone , right ? i do n't have to worry about making anybody happy , which is a good thing , too , because i 'm not really good at that . marah : okay , you 're talking in theories here . tell me something that i can actually use . jeffrey : all right , things you can actually use . let 's see . what are you doing tomorrow ? marah : thanksgiving at my parents ' house . jeffrey : thanksgiving at your parents ' house . that 's perfect . thanksgiving . that means family obligations , does n't it ? yeah . it means carving the turkey and counting your blessings , and the women in the kitchen and the men watching football , and every one of you watching out not to step on each others ' toes and just going through the motions . marah : well , it 's a little bit like that . jeffrey : yeah , well , see , in my case , i do n't have to worry about that . `` what am i doing tomorrow ? `` she asks . i do n't know . it does n't matter because i can do whatever i want to do tomorrow . okay ? if i want to go read a book , i 'll go read a book . if i want to go see a movie , i 'm going to go see a movie . if i want to work , i 'm going to work . i 'm probably going to end up working . but the point of the matter is i can do whatever i want to do because i 'm a free man , and you can be that , too . a free woman , that is . all you have to do is ... is just say the word and ... i 'll show you . marah : you talk a good game , jeffrey , but you 're a really bad liar . buzz : i 'll tell you this much : alexandra spaulding is good people . harley : i used to think so , too , dad . buzz : yes , she has a personal chef . harley : and a personal trainer and a personal chauffeur . buzz : and she loves her foie gras . harley : and her champagne and her caviar . buzz : but she sneaks in here late at night , chugs down a couple of beers and scarfs a whole plate of buffalo wings . it 's true . i bring out her inner slob . harley : well , i 'm worried about her outer snob . and which one 's coming to dinner ? buzz : you know , she 's actually excited about it . it could be like olden times when the two of you got along . harley : there 's a pilgrim and indian speech coming here , i can feel it . buzz : i swear she 'll be the perfect guest . harley : just tell her to bring her inner slob , okay , because we 're all going to be eating pizza when i mess up this turkey . ( gasps ) my turkey . it 's getting delivered today . ( cell phone rings ) gus : hello ? harley : is it there yet ? gus : oh , who is this ? harley : gus ... gus : harley cooper , love of my life . what was the question ? harley : my thanksgiving turkey is being delivered today . is it there yet ? gus : oh , yeah , it 's ... it 's here . let me ask you something , where did you order this thing from ? harley : some farm . why ? buzz : you had it delivered ... harley : hold on . buzz : you had it delivered from a farm ? why did n't you just get a butterball ? harley : i 'm back . gus : what was that ? harley : yes , it 's just that everyone is choosing now to tell me that i should have ordered a stupid butterball . gus : is that right ? any chance of you coming home any time soon ? harley : yes . i 'm leaving company now . gus : just get home , okay ? harley : dad , i 've got to get back . my turkey awaits . i 'll see you tomorrow . buzz : butterballs are n't stupid . marina : look , i 've got to talk to shayne about this dance . nico : but he told me not to tell you he put me up to this . marina : well , it 's a little late now . shayne and i will just figure it out . what happened ? remy : he had a tough workout . marina : remy , look at him . why did n't you stop him ? remy : i tried , marina , but he kept pushing . one more set of exercises , one more ... he would n't listen , okay ? marina : come on , we need to get him into bed . shayne : one more . marina : no , lewis , you 're done for the day . shayne : more . remy : no , she 's right , man . you 've had enough . shayne : my choice . remy : well , i 'm afraid for you . your body can only handle so much . nico : do n't look at me . i 'm with them . marina : here , you 're probably dehydrated . ( bottle drops ) marina : uh , guys , can you wait outside for a second . i need to talk to shayne alone . shayne : do n't want to talk ! remy : okay . yeah , let 's ... marina : fine . then you 'll listen . marah : you know , you 're not as shut off as you let everybody believe . jeffrey : well , you do n't know me , marah . marah : i know that i do n't want to hurt anymore . but your way of going about things , it 's just ... it 's not going to work for me . jeffrey : oh , yeah ? why not ? marah : because ... because if you stop feeling pain , then you also stop feeling love . and that would be a very , very sad life . jeffrey : yeah , sad . marah : i 'm ... i was n't talking about you personally . jeffrey : you know what ? i think we 're done here . marah , i think we 're done . marah : jeffrey , you ... you would not have let me in . you would not have let me in if you did n't have feelings . you would n't have sat here and listened to my problems . jeffrey : letting you in had nothing to do with feelings , okay ? it had nothing to do with feelings . it just had to do with maybe a few too many drinks . okay , now the novelty 's worn off . now , if you do n't mind , let yourself out . and when you open the door make sure you check both ways . i do n't want anyone to see you coming out of here , okay ? so just take your sad sob story away from me as soon as possible . thank you . marah : what is so terrible about admitting that you have feelings ? everyone has them . jeffrey : just get out of here , okay ? please , just get out . ( sighs ) ugh , where 's the bloody file ? cassie : marah ? you and jeffrey o'neill ? you and jeffrey o'neill ? marah : look , aunt cassie , my relationship with jeffrey is none of your business . cassie : oh , relationship ? i should go in there and throw that cradle robbing creep out of my hotel . marah : it 's not like that . cassie : i know that you are going through a tough time , okay ? i know that . i understand , all right ? marah : i do n't want to talk about that . cassie : okay , i understand . and i understand that sometimes jeffrey o'neill can be charming , okay , but you ca n't let him suck you in . god , i just hope it 's not too late . marah : too late for what ? cassie : for you to walk away without getting hurt . i should have done something about this the second i knew that he was ... marah : he has not tried anything with me . cassie : okay , so nothing 's happened , right ? because i just saw you walking out of his room . and at this hour , you know , i mean i 'm thinking ... marah : i 've been going after him . marina : you know , i 'm not going anywhere . shayne : yeah , i know . marina : it 's not like this should come as some kind of surprise to you . all of your doctors keep saying that your recovery is going to take time . shayne : we 're wasting time . marina : no . no , we 're not wasting a second . but there are n't enough hours in the day to do all the therapy that you want to do . shayne : it 's like you want me like this . marina : no . i want you up and running circles around me . but that is n't going to happen today . and that 's reality and i 've accepted that . and i love you no matter what . shayne : stop saying that ! marina : i do n't need you pitching fastballs or taking me to dances . yes , i know what you asked nico to do . and do n't blame him , the only reasons that he told me is because i kept refusing to go with him . shayne : stubborn . why wo n't you go ? marina : because he 's not you . and because i have more fun just being here with you then i have anywhere else with any other guy . shayne : give me my weights . marina : no . you 're crazy . shayne : then go ! then go ! marina : i ca n't just let you kill yourself like this . i thought that you loved me . shayne : i do . but i ... marina : but ? shayne : but i need ... you 're too okay with this . i need somebody who hates me like this , who makes me fight . i 'm sorry . i just want to fight . marina : well , we 're fighting now , sort of . it 's not really the same . i ca n't hate you , i 'd be really bad at it . shayne : i know . marina : you think that would be a good thing . shayne : it is . marina : so what do we do now ? shayne : i keep pushing . marina : and i leave ? buzz : hey . reva : hey , buzz , have you seen marah tonight ? buzz : i 'm sorry , i have n't . is she okay ? reva : oh . buzz : what is that ? reva : it 's my nephew 's turkey costume . i volunteered to sew it . and now i am so in over my head . buzz : and you 're waiting for a pro to come to the rescue ? reva : exactly . buzz : there 's a lot of that going around tonight . reva : so harley got in touch with you ? buzz : yeah . sort of . reva : oh . jeffrey ? have you seen marah tonight ? at all , anywhere ? jeffrey : why ? reva : well , i have a sewing emergency . jeffrey : oh . ( laughs ) buzz : let me guess . coffee , very strong , very black . jeffrey : i thought she was the one that was good at reading minds . buzz : sewing is not your thing , is it ? reva : no . that 's why i need to find marah . because if anyone can make this turkey tail stand up , she can . jeffrey : ah , thanksgiving . yes , a day to stuff your face with food and tolerate your family and dress small children as birds . let the good times roll . reva : very touching , jeffrey . anything else you 'd like to add ? jeffrey : yeah , i think i can make your tail feathers stand up . reva : ( laughter ) marina : nico , wait . nico : what 's up ? marina : no , you know what ? actually just forget it . nico : okay . marina : no , wait . nico : okay , seriously , what 's going on ? marina : okay , about the dance ... nico : yeah . marina : we 'll go . nico : okay , cool . marina : okay , so only just like for an hour or so . nico : okay , then i 'll ... marina : so you just should meet me here at 8 : 00 . nico : whenever you say ... marina : ... and i will drive , so just make sure that you 're here on time . what ? nico : are you done ? marina : yes . nico : are you sure ? marina : yes , i 'm sure . nico : okay , then i 'll meet you at 8 : 00 . shayne : hey , it 's me . i need you . marah : do n't worry , aunt cassie , jeffrey sent me away . cassie : nothing happened ? marah : no . but it was n't from a lack of trying on my part . lucky me he 's picked now to start acting like a gentleman . cassie : well , so he was telling the truth . marah : what ... you guys were talking about me ? cassie : yeah , i was worried about you . marah : this is g ... i bet you told him to stay away from me , right ? cassie : you bet i told him to stay away from you . and he knows that he 's not the right guy for you . he knows that , okay ? and he told me , you know , you were coming after him . marah : but you did n't believe him , right ? because it 's so much easier to believe that big , bad jeffrey is going after poor , helpless marah . i can take care of myself . cassie : marah ... marah : look , you know it would be really nice is if you and everyone else would just stay out of my business . this is my life . it 's not some group project . cassie : i 'm sorry , but i did n't want to see you get hurt . marah : well , it 's a little late for that . but jeffrey is n't the one doing the hurting . he has been a very good guy . cassie : okay , we do n't know everything there is to know about him . marah : and neither do you . i mean , what did he ever do to you , except having the unfortunate luck of looking like richard . jeffrey : tongs . and a bottle opener . and could you hold that right there ? no , no , please give me ... give me one of those first . reva : well , make up your mind . jeffrey : wipe . forehead . thank you . reva : there . jeffrey : stapler . reva : here . jeffrey : come on . buzz : okay . reva : who are you anyway ? macgyver ?

josh : you said you got this note where ? marina : it was in the mailbox at the house . i have no idea who put it there . ed : so you came to me about it ? marah : because it specifically said to ask you . buzz : did n't you think it was odd some unseen stranger tells you to ask me a question , and you just do it . michelle : i guess it did n't seem like that big of a deal to me . i mean , it 's pretty straightforward question . do you ... marah : ... remember maryanne ... marina : ... caruthers ? buzz : no . ed : no . josh : no . gus : phillip ? are you all right ? phillip : beth is with lizzie ? because i ... olivia ... alan : phillip , olivia left town . rick : alan 's right , phillip . olivia has n't been seen in a couple of months . christopher : unless you 've see her , phillip . gus : have you been seeing olivia again ? phillip : well , i thought ... maybe ... i do n't ... no . it does n't matter . what i 'm worried about is lizzie . not olivia . olivia could take care of herself . lizzie is an innocent child . christopher : phillip , listen ... phillip : and you know what ? olivia 's already taken one child away from me . rick : lizzie is fine , phillip . i give you my word as your oldest and dearest friend that lizzie is fine . phillip : you do n't think that she 's going to grow up and she 's going to resent me for all the years that i abandoned her ? rick : no , you did n't abandon her . no . phillip : that 's not true . because there was all that time . i 've got so much time to try make up for . and if she tries to hurt herself again , rick , i 'm ... there 's ... i 'm not going to be able to deal with it . there 's no way . christopher : phillip , lizzie is well on her road to recovery . she 's making remarkable progress . she 's going to be just fine . rick : phillip , you have nothing to worry about . i 'm telling you that lizzie is fine . i promise you . phillip : you promise ? rick : i promise . phillip : okay . if you say so . all right . christopher : phillip , do you remember checking yourself into the hospital the other day ? because you felt anxiety , you felt something was wrong ? phillip : you think maybe i should check myself back in ? christopher : i think it would make you feel a lot better . rick : is n't that what you want , buddy , is to feel better ? gus : you should do this , phillip . do it for yourself . do it for lizzie 's sake . phillip : well , lizzie and my boys are all that i care about . alan : then you will ? phillip : sure . alan : oh , good . good . phillip : yeah , sure . go ahead . call . rick : phillip , you 're making the right decision . you are . phillip : just give me a minute to sort of compose myself . alan : take all the time you need , phillip . i 'm going to call cedars and tell them that you 're coming right now . well , what do you think ? christopher : i think it 's an accumulation of a lot of things . but the bottom line is that he 's grieving for the loss of olivia , for a daughter that he may never see . and that 's causing him to be more concerned about lizzie , the daughter that he still has . rick : i am so sorry , alan . i should have never checked him out of the hospital . christopher : i do n't think there was anything you could have done about that , rick . but let 's all work to get back in there now . rick : you 're right . let me make the call . christopher : yeah . gus : hey . phillip ! phillip ! he 's gone . he 's gone . alan : where ? where did he go ? where did he go ? gus : he 's gone . christopher : he 's probably ... to find lizzie . alan : elizabeth can not see her father like this . michelle : `` no . `` that 's it ? just `` no `` ? i thought maybe you 'd remember at least a little something about this woman maryanne . ed : nope . do n't . michelle : are you sure ? ed : what did i just tell you ? michelle : i know . i know . but it 's just that when i said her name i could have sworn for a second that you recognized -- ed : you asked me a question , i gave you an answer . michelle : i know . i just was -- ed : but what ? ! i mean , you 're questioning my word now ? ! michelle : what ? no . well , should i ? ed : well , what kind of question is that ? ! michelle : truth , dad . the way you 're acting right now . i mean you 're getting so testy it 's almost like the way you act when someone brings up stuff that happened when you were drinking . ed : well , you know that that 's what my reaction is going to be , i mean why press the point ? if i would rather forget an awful time of my life , i mean is n't it kind of insensitive on your part to interrogate me about it ? michelle : interrogate ? ed : is n't it just a little bit like opening an old wound ? michelle : a wound ? well , so then you do remember her ? ed : no , i do n't ! i do not . are we going to go round and round about this ? or can we just put it to rest now ? michelle : no , no . i mean , yes , yes , we can if you really -- ed : i really want to . so the matter is closed . michelle : okay . ed : and that 's garbage . i 'm going to ... marina : so what do you make of it ? buzz : beats me . it 's got to be some kind of hoax or something . marina : you think ? buzz : yeah , you know , there are a lot of weirdoes out there . marina : ( laughs ) i know . buzz : more and more everyday . marina : but why whoever wrote this single me out ? and how would they even know our names ? buzz : you got me . marina : yeah , but it just does n't make any sense , you know . i mean , are you sure that you do n't remember this woman ? buzz : yep . marina : caruthers . buzz : no , i do n't . marina : maryanne . buzz : no . i got to go inside , okay . get ready . marina : but -- buzz : but what ? ! but what ? ! marina : nothing . i just thought you 'd know , that 's all . buzz : because some anonymous nobody thinks i should ? you know what i think i should do ? i think i should ... i should take care of this . marina : why ? buzz : because someone 's playing games with you . and i do n't like it . you coming ? marina : no . buzz : no problem . josh : you know what ? i 'm sorry . i ca n't help you with this . marah : you never heard of this woman ?

phillip : i had to see lizzie . make sure she was all right . and she is . she is with beth like you said . she 's not with olivia . i almost ran over there and scared them . gus : phillip , you did n't , okay ? you did n't . alan : you did n't do it . phillip : i kept thinking i would get better . and i could just will it away . but it 's not working . get me out of here , dad . take me to cedars . take me someplace where i ca n't hurt anybody that i love . where i wo n't scare my children . alan : phillip , we 're going to do that . we 're going to do that . do n't you worry about a thing . just get a hold of yourself . marah : my dad said he never heard of maryanne caruthers . marina : yeah , same as my grandfather . marah : michelle ? michelle : same . marah : but the way that he acted ... marina : it was like he did know who she was . marah : and you , too ? carrie : hello , ladies . marina : carrie . marah : did you know that this was going to happen ? marina : did you know that they were going to act this way ? marah : that our dads were just going clam up ? marina : that they were going to get uptight and -- carrie : oh , please , please , please . calm down . now shall we start at the beginning ? did you ask your fathers and grandfathers the questions i posed ? ( marah , michelle , marina ) : yes . carrie : did you ask them exactly the way i 'd written them ? you did n't embellish anything ? michelle : no , we did exactly what you said . marah : no , we told them that we got the letters anonymously . carrie : oh , i see . and all of them said that they had never , ever heard of maryanne caruthers ? they had no idea who she was ? marina : my grandfather said that someone was yanking my chain . carrie : oh , well , that 's charming . and your father , marah ? oh , what was his reaction ? marah : he was nervous . i do n't know . my dad is never nervous . carrie : michelle ? michelle : what ? carrie : your father ? edward ? what was his reaction ? michelle : he seemed sort of irritated . carrie : angry ? michelle : maybe a little , yes . carrie : hmm , i see . and how do you all feel about answers to these questions ? did you believe them ? no ? why ? michelle : because i 'm sure that my father was lying to me . alan : phillip ? lizzie : daddy , are you okay ? phillip : honestly , honey , i do n't know . you know , i 've been going through some stuff , right ? yeah , well , you know , i thought i could handle it on my own . but i 'm thinking now maybe i could use some help . lizzie : help like i 've been getting , right ? phillip : right . the difference , though , is that i think i may have to go away for a little while . lizzie : daddy ... phillip : yeah , i 'm afraid so . lizzie : i did this to you , did n't i ? it was me . phillip : no . no , sweetheart . no , honey . no . this is about me . it 's about how i deal with things . i need to figure out how i could be better . i could make myself better so i could go back to being an annoying person that i 've always been . lizzie : do you know how long ? okay , well , you do what you need to do and just stay there for as long as you need to , and whenever you get out , i 'll be right here waiting for you . phillip : i 'm counting on it . lizzie : you 're going to be all better . we 'll both be better together . is that a deal ? phillip : that 's a deal . lizzie : ( crying ) buzz : when michelle asked you the question , what you 'd say ? ed : nothing . you ? buzz : nothing , of course . josh ? josh ? josh : what ? buzz : when marah asked you the question , what did you say ? josh : nothing . i said nothing , okay ? buzz : no , it 's not okay . was it something - nothing , or nothing - nothing ? josh : nothing means nothing , buzz . buzz : well , to some people it does . josh : you know what ? i answered your question . wo n't you back off ? billy : whoa , whoa , guys . whoa , whoa . guys . time out . did anybody get a hold of alan ? ed : i called . his voicemail picked up . josh : so we still do n't know whether or not he received the same note ? buzz : well , for the moment , no . billy : it does n't make any difference . he 's always done everything humanly possible to stay as far away from the situation as he can . ed : yeah . while still being in it . billy : all right , let 's ... let 's just slow down here . break this down . take a look at it . see what we got . somebody out there thinks they know something . buzz : well , that 's a brilliant deduction ! that 's brilliant . ed : question is who ? who 's going to send these notes to the girls and then tell them to grill us about it ? billy : no , ed , that really does n't make any difference . buzz : like hell it does n't ! billy : no , it really does n't make any difference . ed : how could you say that ? billy : because there is fact and there 's speculation . and speculation does n't mean squat . least not where it counts . buzz : which is where ? josh : i think we all know where , buzz . billy : look , guys , the fact is somebody out there is bluffing , because , save for alan , nobody outside of this room knows the truth . somebody thinks they know something . but in truth , in fact , there 's no way that they can , now can they ? if we just keep that in mind , we 're safe . if we just stonewall , everything stays buried . now , in order to do that , we have to keep our heads . we can not panic . if we panic , everything 's lost . carrie : michelle , you felt your father was hiding something from you . you felt he was n't telling you the truth . michelle : look , i ... i hate to say it , but yes . carrie : and you two , as well ? do you still have the notes i gave you ? marina : no . buzz kept mine . carrie : and edward ? michelle : same . but -- carrie : and you , marah ? marah : no , my dad took mine , but it was by accident . carrie : oh , it was nothing accidental . they 're going to need them for fingerprints . marah : fingerprints ? carrie : oh , it 's all right . i do n't need them anymore . michelle : no , okay , it 's not all right . none of this is all right . you 've brought us down this road by telling us that you need our help to right some terrible wrong . carrie : but that 's what you 're doing . michelle : how ? by grilling the people that we love about some woman that we 've never even heard of until a few hours ago ? i think that we deserve to know what 's going on here . carrie : but you will , my dear . michelle : no , no , now . now . carrie : but , please , be calm . it 's so unladylike to persist . michelle : okay , okay . but just ... can you help us out here ? can you give us something to go on ? marina : yeah . i mean , we helped you out . you know , you have to help us , too . michelle : yes , like , who maryanne caruthers is or was ? carrie : you 're correct to use the past tense , my dear . maryanne caruthers is someone from the past . someone that knew all of your fathers and grandfather . marah : and they knew her ? carrie : ( laughs ) oh , yes , they did . marah : so then they were definitely lying when they said that they have never heard of maryanne caruthers ? carrie : yes . marina : why ? michelle : okay , and where is this maryanne ? carrie : i 'm afraid she 's dead . marina : wait ! where are you going ? ! michelle : carrie , get back here ! marah : you ca n't just drop something on us like this and then leave . carrie : but i must . beth : thank you . thank you . how are you doing , sweetie ? lizzie : how do you think ? so is grandpa and uncle rick taking dad to the hospital now ? beth : yes , yes , i imagine that they are . lizzie : and we ca n't go visit him , right ? beth : not right away , lizzie , no . lizzie : just until they diagnose him . telling him how messed up he is . beth : lizzie . lizzie : no , mom , it 's true . beth : okay , yes , it is . but you do n't have to ... lizzie : you just want to sugarcoat it for me . why ? what is that going to do ? make me feel better ? beth : i was just trying to spare you . lizzie : okay , well , do n't . okay , do n't try to spare me anything anymore . you know why ? because i do n't have to worry about sparing you . that i can be as angry or confused as i need to be and not worry about having to make people feel better . and that 's what i 'm supposed to do , is n't it ? beth : yes . yes , it is . lizzie : mom , do n't just say that to please me . beth : honey , i 'm not . i 'm not . i 'm saying it because i 'm proud of you . lizzie : but do n't be too proud , okay ? because there are going to be times when i 'm going to backslide . and i need you to understand that . beth : i do understand that . lizzie : it 's just that there 's a part of me that 's so grown - up . and there 's a part of me ... ( crying ) beth : honey . okay , what ? what ? tell me . i want to know what you 're feeling . lizzie : i am just so worried about daddy . beth : honey , i know . i know . me , too , sweetie . me , too . rick : hey , buddy . did you see lizzie ? phillip : yeah . rick : so did it go okay ? i 'm sorry . phillip : and so what ... what happens now ? rick : you check in for observation for the next 72 hours . phillip : you 're going to do the observing ? christopher : in consultation , if necessary , yes . phillip : and then what ? christopher : and then i 'll decide on a course of treatment . phillip : someplace else ? christopher : if that 's warranted , yes . phillip : if . right . rick : phillip , you 're making the right decision . you are . phillip : i want to lie down . rick : you could do it right in here . alan : phillip , what 's wrong ? christopher : did you see something ? phillip : just help me stop . just help me . olivia : excuse me ? do you know where dr. sedwick is ? gus : next , on guiding light . alan : phillip ? phillip : she 's gone . alan : look , i know that it pains you very deeply to hear me say that , but you have to accept it . olivia : i 'm not staying , cassie . cassie : what do you mean , not staying ? olivia : i just came back to talk to phillip , but i have no plans to stay here .

[ scene_break ] reva : i wish you were here right now . you might know what to do . oh , richard , everything just seems wrong . it just seems so wrong . you remember how hard it was to try to handle edmund ? how hard it is when you 're up against him to keep yourself from becoming just like him ?

see ya . marina : okay , that was a total carrie moment . you know , she , like , left us with some piece of cryptic information , blew out of here . marah : okay , back to maryanne caruthers . marina : okay . so , according to carrie , she 's dead . according to carrie , your dad , ed , and my grandfather all knew her . according to the internet , there are hundreds of her . where does that leave us ? marah : nowhere . i hate this . i feel like i 'm accusing my dad of something , and i do n't even know what it is . marina : no , we 're just clearing this up so that we could prove that no one we know knew or knows a maryanne caruthers , whether she 's dead , alive , or writing a gardening column in ... where was that ? marah : sandusky , ohio . marina : right . okay , so forgetting about maryanne for a second , what else do we know ? marah : we know about the museum and the crazy curator and the gala that happened that night . and ... okay , wait a minute . do you remember how messy this place was when i first moved in ? marina : : yes . and you 're happy about that because ... marah : because there were boxes . boxes filled with paper that were probably here since the museum closed down . and we threw a lot of it away , but ... marina : wait . basement ? marah : if they were anywhere that 's where they 'd be . rick : just ... just take it easy . phillip : okay . all right , look , i know what you 're thinking . rick : yeah , that the game 's on in a couple of minutes , and since it 's my break , we can kick back and enjoy ... phillip : rick , please , do n't blow me off , all right . look at me , look at me . rick : i 'm looking ... phillip : i 'm good right now . i 'm clear . i 'm lucid , okay ? rick : you 're also very exhausted ... phillip : but i did n't make this up . rick : no one said that you did , okay ? phillip : all right , rick ? i know . i broke into a woman 's apartment because i thought she looked like olivia . i scared the hell out of a waitress a little while ago over at towers because of the same thing . i 've done a lot of crazy things over the last few weeks , but this is not that . okay , you got to believe me . this is not that . this was different . she was out there , and she said to someone she was not going to be staying long . rick : you heard olivia say ... phillip : yes ! so would you please just go look ! for me . just go ... go look . check the damn security cameras . see what 's out there ! alan : phillip , phillip , you 've got to remain calm , stay in your bed , and not wander around in the halls . rick : your father 's right , phillip . you want to get better , this is ... phillip : do n't you understand ? she must have had the baby by now . what if she is in this hospital right now with my little baby girl ? hey ! maybe she 's actually looking for me ! alan : why would she look for you here ? phillip : i do n't know ! maybe somebody told her i was here ! maybe you told her ! alan : phillip , i have not seen her or heard from her . no one has . phillip : right , and that 's my fault . rick : no , olivia left on her own , phillip , she left ... phillip : but maybe she 's back . maybe she 's back . maybe my daughter is back here with her . maybe they 're out there right now . i 'm not going to know if you do n't give me the chance to go out there and look . rick : you 're not missing anything out there , phillip . this is where you need to be , right here . look , look , phil , look at me . we are going to figure out what is going on with you , we are . and then you 're going to get a little rest and a little treatment , and you 're going to start to get better , buddy . and before you know it , you 're going to be back to your old obnoxious , self- indulgent self , and i personally ca n't wait for that . it 's going to happen . trust me , trust me , okay ? and when it does , as your best friend , i 'm going to carve out some time for you , buddy , and i 'm going to take you on the court and i 'm going to teach you how to play the game . as your best friend . phillip : you never beat me . rick : you 're going to be fine , phillip . you 're going to be fine . you 've got to trust me . but you got to do your father and i a favor . you 've got to ... you 've got to get some rest . we ca n't chase you around the hospital like this . your father 's too slow . hey , get some rest , okay . phillip : you 're positive that she could n't have been out there ? alan : phillip , she 's gone . look , i know that it pains you very deeply to hear me say that , but you have to accept it . she and your daughter are not here . cassie : ( laughs ) olivia ? oh , my gosh , olivia , hi ! oh , welcome back . how are you ? olivia : okay , i just ... i just got back a little while ago . edmund : well , welcome back . olivia : thank you . i called the beacon . they said that you were here . i 'm sorry to interrupt your dinner . cassie : oh , are you kidding ? interrupt , please , sit down and join us , join us . olivia : okay , thanks . so ... so , how is everything at the hotel ? cassie : ( laughs ) are you kidding ? who cares ? how 's that little princess ? please tell me you brought pictures of her . edmund : i 'll go get some drinks . cassie : olivia , is everything okay ? olivia : you know , it was a miracle that i did n't lose her when i fell down those stairs , cassie , with the bleeding and the contractions . it was amazing i could hold onto her . after i left , i went into premature labor . cassie : but she 's okay . olivia : you only get so many miracles in life , right ? i lost her , cassie . i lost my baby . cassie : olivia , i know the pain of losing a child . olivia : so , is this the part where you tell me that it will stop hurting some day ? cassie : i wish i could . olivia : you got through it , right ? cassie : and you will , too . but it takes time and ... why did n't you call me ? why did n't you call me ? i would have come to you . olivia : i know , i know you would have , i know . it 's just that i left springfield to have this baby on my own , and i needed to grieve her on my own . cassie : i 'm so sorry . i 'm so sorry . is there 's anything i can do for you ? is there anyone i can call ? olivia : you know what , it 's just ... it 's just ... it 's all too soon , you know . i really ca n't talk about it that much . cassie : but when you can ... when you can ... olivia : i will . thanks . i just ... i really want to focus on putting my life back together right now . cassie : oh , come on . you 've got time . i mean , no one expects you to jump right back in . olivia : no , no , but i 'm ready , i 'm ready . i just ... i need to find phillip and i need to tell him what happened , and then i can ... what ? what is it ? cassie : look , i do n't know the details , but edmund talked to alexandra , and phillip 's in the hospital . he 's had some kind of a mental breakdown . olivia : mental ? i do n't understand . i thought ... i thought that if i left town ... i mean , he was running himself ragged helping lizzie and then saving the company and putting things right with us . i just thought that if i left town , it would lighten his load . you know , it would give him some room to catch his breath and pull himself together . did i make this worse ? cassie : no , no . olivia : did i ? how am i going to do this ? how am i going to go to him in the hospital and tell him that i lost his baby ? phillip : remind me how long i signed on for . alan : just a few hours , that 's all . i mean , you 've got to give this a chance . phillip : just tell me how long . rick : dr. langham has signed you on for a 72-hour observation period . phillip : i ca n't ... i ca n't do it . rick : phillip , you 've got to calm down and take it easy . phillip : i ca n't , i ca n't . not here . i ca n't , rick . i went to birthing classes down the hall . i saw my daughter 's sonogram here . whether i 'm seeing olivia or not , i do n't know , but my daughter is here . and i ca n't ... i ca n't be here if that 's the case . so you got to call langham and tell him to get me out of here . rick : i do n't think that 's a good idea , phillip . i think you need to stay here and ... phillip : no ... rick : ... get some rest . phillip : there are too many images here . i ca n't do it here . i want out . alan : ravenwood . it 's a private facility . you know about it , phillip . phillip : yeah . call them . please . alan : all right , i will call dr. langham , and make the arrangements . phillip : go ahead , say it , i do n't care . rick : say what ? phillip : call me a coward . i deserve it . rick : you 're not a coward , phillip . you 're dealing with this the best way you know how . phillip : am i ? rick : yeah . phillip : or am i just running as far and as fast as i possibly can ? and when will it be far enough ? i lost my daughter , rick . i ca n't lose anything else . i ca n't . i ca n't take one more thing . bill : all right , all right , all right . this is what we 're going to do . first , we are going to contact the newspapers , all right . and then ... no . wait a minute . i 'm going to call my aunt reva . we 're going to get wspr in on this early , all right . and then we got to contact the unions , because you 've got to get the unions on your side . it 's very important ... danny : bill , you got to stop . slow down . just slow down . i have n't even announced my candidacy . bill : yet . yet , and as your campaign manager ... danny : ( groans ) bill : all right , listen , i 'm sorry . as your potential campaign manager , my job is to stay one step ahead of you . michelle : then whose job is it to stay one step ahead of you ? bill : well , are you volunteering ? danny : no , no , no , no one is volunteering for anything . bill : yet . danny : bill . bill : all right , look , i 'm sure you two want to talk about this , okay . danny : yeah , that would be good . bill : good . but michelle , before you do , you should know that the buzz on the street about this guy , very , very positive . danny : bill ! bill : it 's true . danny : get out ! bill : okay , i am going , all right , i am going . michelle : so , your buzz is positive , huh ? who knew ? danny : i guess , i guess . look , the only voter whose opinion matters to me right now is you . michelle : all right , then , how do you want to do this ? we 'll make a list of pros and cons . you want to do eeny - meeny - miney - mo ? danny : i do n't ... it 's not too late to back out , michelle . that i run for mayor , our lives are really going to change . we 're talking about long hours and no privacy . media will be camped out on our front doorstep . michelle : well , you know , what 's a dream without a little sacrifice , right ? danny : right , see , that 's just ... i do n't know if being the mayor is my dream . michelle : redeeming your family 's name , giving back to this town , righting all of carmen 's wrongs . i mean , that 's your dream , danny . and you know your dreams are my dreams now . and your wishes are my wishes . danny : what ? michelle : what ? danny : all this talk about wishes and dreams . michelle : it 's because you make them come true . you do . look what you 've done for the people on fifth street . what you 've done for yourself . danny : yeah , i know . michelle : well , you know , you could have continued to lead a life of crime and blame it on the bad genes , but you did n't . you changed people 's lives for the better , danny . and i am speaking from personal experience here . danny : no . you and robbie are the ones who changed me . it 's true . everything i am , i owe to you . michelle : yeah , well , you do owe me . danny : ( laughs ) oh , really ? michelle : you know , i 'll call it even if you 're willing to let me cast the first vote for mayor , danny santos on election day . danny : oh . i love you . michelle : i love you . danny : bill ! bill : does this mean you 're in ? danny : yep . we 're in . bill : all right , then let the games begin , all right . danny : all right , great . so this is it . this is it . no stone unturned , no secret unburied . michelle : i 'm ready . marah : oh , that 's helpful . marina : well , i may as well entertain myself . marah : hey . marina : you 're no fun . marah : well , i do n't think we 've looked at this one yet . marina : what ? marah : old newspaper clippings from the museum . and here 's one about the egyptology exhibit . marina : ( clears throat ) marah : oh , right , sorry . `` the sarcophagus of queen otiri has brought the most attention to the exhibit . rumors have circulated that an egyptian high priestess warned against bringing the artifact from her country . `` blah , blah , blah . `` a curse if it 's opened . ' this museum has a responsibility to the history and science , not curses and voodoo , ' says horace caruthers . `` caruthers . marina : this just keeps getting weirder . oh , wow , check this out . marah : what is it ? oh , my gosh , this is a program marina : it 's like a program . oh , my gosh , this is a program from the opening night gala that carrie told us about . marah : oh , god , i feel like we were there . marina : yeah , me , too . `` many thanks to our generous benefactors , brandon ... brandon spaulding and spaulding enterprises , without whom this evening and this museum would not have been possible . `` marah : okay , now the spauldings are involved , too . marina : it 's like the more we find out , the less sense it makes . carrie : perhaps if you had a more concise filing system . what you have in motivation , my dears , you seem to lack in organization . marina : you think you could knock sometimes just to sort of shake things up ? carrie : look at this . what a mess . how can you girls ever expect to put things together ? marah : okay , when you 're talking about putting things together , but none of this makes sense . we 've got the museum , the gala , the crazy curator who i 'm betting is somehow related to maryanne caruthers . and now the spauldings are in the mix , too ? what does any of it have to do with ed and buzz and my father ? carrie : well , i expect you 'd like for me to answer these questions . marah : well , yeah . marina : yes . carrie : yes , but would n't it be fun for you to connect the dots yourselves ? marina : no . carrie : well , all right , i 'll tell you . it 's all intertwined , everything is connected . marina : well , what is the catch ? carrie : there is no catch . you just have to know where to look . marina : okay , so clearly you 're not just going to give us the answers . but maybe if we ask the right questions . marah : what 's the deal with horace caruthers ? marina : yeah , and how is he related to maryanne ? marah : and what about the sarcophagus ? what was in that ? marina : yeah , and what do the spauldings have to do with it ? carrie : please , please , please slow down . you 're such an impatient generation . you have all the time in the world . why do n't you just learn to savor it ? marah : we just want to know what this all means , carrie . carrie : oh , yes , i know , i know . well , perhaps it would be more amusing if i asked the questions . tell me do you believe in coincidence ? marina : well , accidents happen all the time . marah : but you 're probably going to tell us that there are no accidents , right ? carrie : what do michelle , marina , and marah all have in common ? marina : what ? carrie : what do michelle , marina , and marah all have in common ? marah : we 're all young . carrie : no . marina : like , young women ? marah : we get along very well ? carrie : nope . marina : we live in springfield ? carrie : ( laughs ) think about it . think about it . michelle , marina , marah . you 're making this too difficult and tedious . marah : we all like to shop . carrie : no . marina : we have good hair ? carrie : no . marah : we watch too much television . marina : i like pizza . marah : i like pizza , too . does michelle ? marina : i think so . toppings ? carrie : marina , marah , michelle . think about it . do n't make it so difficult . marah : `` m , `` `` m , `` all of our first names start with the letter `` m. `` carrie : yes , now do n't you think that 's a little odd ? marah : well , i 've never really thought about it . marina : `` m `` like maryanne ? carrie : clever girl . but of course , it may be it 's just a coincidence . marah : well , it has to be a coincidence , because i was named after my grandmothers , martha and sarah . marina : yeah , and my grandfather did n't name me ; my parents did . carrie : well , i said maybe . marina : are you saying that we were all given `` m `` names because of this dead woman , maryanne ? and why ? and who is she ? and why should anyone that we know even care ? carrie : sometimes our parents and grandparents only show us the things that they want us to see . even the most respected families sometimes have secrets to hide , and the things that we bury deep inside , they never disappear . sometimes they have a way of showing up in the most unexpected way . marina : like the letter `` m `` ? alan : olivia ? olivia : alan . alan : oh , my god , you 've come home . excuse me , cassie . were you just at the hospital ? olivia : yeah , i was looking for dr. sedwick . why ? alan : then it 's true . cassie : okay , wait a second . you know , olivia just got back in town . i think maybe she needs a little time . olivia : no , i ... it 's okay . it 's okay . alan : phillip is in the hospital . he thought he heard your voice outside of his room . i thought he was hallucinating again . olivia : well , you 're saying he 's been hallucinating ? cassie said he was sick . is it really that bad ? alan : he would feel so much better if you and the little baby would go and see him right now . i ca n't wait to meet the little angel myself . as a matter of fact , we can go right now . cassie : i 'll be right over here . alan : what is it ? olivia : there 's something i need to tell you . cassie : oh , my gosh , she 's just being so strong about this . you know , i just wish there was something i could go say to her to make it better , but i know there 's nothing . i mean , nothing anyone said to me helped . oh , god . it 's just so senseless , you know . a brand - new life does n't even get to start . and i know exactly how she feels . i know how empty she 's feeling right now . edmund : it must be very difficult for her . for you , too . cassie : yeah . yeah , i guess it brings everything back . you know , i ... i 'm always going to miss that little baby that i lost , you know ? and after losing richard , if i still had that little boy , i 'd have a part of him and a part of us , and ... edmund : cassie , if you want ... if you want some time alone ... cassie : what ? no . edmund , this ... this is n't about you . edmund : please , how can it not be at least in part ? i mean , i 'm the reason for all this pain . cassie : stop . edmund : cassie , it 's because of me . it 's because of me that ... cassie : would you please stop . do n't do this , okay . there are always going to be reminders . and i 'm always going to miss that baby . but i 've got to handle it , and you 've got to handle it . we 've got to handle it together . alan : i 'm so sorry . i know how much that little girl meant to you . olivia : i do n't know how i 'm going to tell phillip . alan : olivia , you ca n't . olivia : i have to , alan . alan : you ca n't tell phillip now . now , if you took the baby to the hospital , it would make him feel better . but if you showed up without the baby and he knew that that baby was gone , it would absolutely destroy him . olivia : i have to tell him . it does n't feel right . he 's her father . alan : i know . and ordinarily , i would tell you to be honest with him . but he is so fragile right now . you have to believe me on this . now , no matter how much your and his relationship has hurt me in the past , you know that i wanted nothing but the very best for that little girl . olivia : i know that . she was your granddaughter . alan : yes , she was . i 'm so sorry . olivia : i am , too . so what happens next ? alan : well , we 're going to send him to a facility in a place where he will have no visitors , and will receive treatment . i want you to know that i will make sure that you know how his condition is every day . olivia : so if i wanted to see him , i would have to do it right away . alan : did you not hear what i just said ? olivia : i heard what you said and i understand . but it 's my call , alan , and i have n't made it yet . alan : olivia , i 'm not a man that likes to beg , but i am begging you to stay away from phillip now . he is barely hanging on . please , wait till he gets better . please . rick : so when you get back from ravenwood , we 're going to play some hoops , right ? all right , take it easy , buddy . phillip : okay . rick : try to get some rest . i will ... i 'll see you in the morning . olivia : i wo n't be in town for very long . rick : she 's not here , phillip . alan : i have n't seen her or heard from her . no one has . olivia : i wo n't be in town for very long . alan : olivia is gone . rick : she 's not here , phillip . olivia : i wo n't be in town ... bill : mayor hamilton will not be throwing you his endorsement . danny : ca n't say i 'm surprised . who 's he endorsing ? bill : i do n't know . i do n't even know who else is running . michelle : well , the good news better be really good then , bill . bill : it is , it is , it 's good , it 's good . aunt reva came through , okay . she 's going to be doing a live interview with you right here in your house tomorrow . michelle : that 's great . bill : yes , but look , all i told her was it was about the fifth street renovation , all right . and that you might walk away with a big exclusive . danny : i can go to the studio for the taping ... bill : no , no , no , no , no , no . do it right here , okay , where you come home after a long day 's work . you kiss your wife , you read a bedtime story to your son . it 's important that you do it right here . now , are you ... you ready for this ? michelle : well , i have a little straightening up i have to do ... bill : no , i mean all of it , okay . you are a very important part of this campaign . danny : yeah . michelle : oh , you know , i was born ready . bill : you sure ? michelle : yes . bill : you sure ? all right , well , i 'm not kidding , because danny has made some inroads in this community . but , you know ... danny : right . it 's not enough to make up for my name . bill : now , look , your old reputation is going to give us a little trouble , all right . but i 'm going to sell you as a good , decent family man . all right . and when you think of good , decent family in this community , what name springs to mind ? michelle : the bauer family . bill : bauer , that 's right . and that name is going to help this campaign . michelle : okay , bill , but you know as well as anyone , as great as my family is , you know , we 're definitely less than perfect . bill : yeah , well , it 's close enough . danny : yeah , it 's close enough . michelle : that 's fine . just do n't go overboard extolling the virtues of the oh - so - wonderful bauer family , because , you know , you dig too deeply in anyone 's past and you 're bound to turn something up . carrie : well , i 'll leave you to your research . marina : no , not so fast . carrie , we had a deal . carrie : i beg your pardon . marina : when we promised that we 'd deliver the notes about maryanne , you said that you would tell us more of the story . carrie : very well , shall we talk about horace ? marah : the first curator of the museum . carrie : horace was maryanne 's grandfather . marah : so they were related ? carrie : yes . the caruthers were one of the most respected and powerful families in springfield , even more so than the spauldings . marina : well , then why have we never heard of them ? i mean , we 've lived here most of our lives . carrie : maryanne was an only child , the last of her line . she died without children . after her death , the fortune disappeared , and the caruthers ' name was erased from history . marah : history is history , it ca n't be erased . carrie : unless someone wants it to be forgotten . unless those left behind want it to be forgotten . marah : our fathers and grandfather ? carrie : but you 're different . you wo n't let that happen . you wo n't let maryanne be forgotten again , will you ? i do n't think you 'll let that happen . now , it 's time for me to go . michelle : next on guiding light : danny : and so i intend to run for the mayoralty of springfield , illinois . marah : no offense , beth , but i really do n't want to hear all the reasons why jeffrey is wrong for me . especially from one of his exes .

[ scene_break ] frank : okay , who 's having fun now ? seriously , let 's rate this party one to ten , ten being the best . what do you think ? okay , that 's what i thought . at least our new year 's eve bash will be a whole hell of a lot better . buzz : it better be a lot better . marina : new year 's eve ? frank : pop and i were thinking about have co2 sponsor a big bash , and bring in big space heaters and a band and have fireworks on the water at midnight and you can invite all of your friends . marina : i ca n't . i mean it sounds like fun , but ... frank : what are you talking about ? you 've got plans for new year 's eve , honey ? marina : well , maybe .

[ scene_break ] if you could love someone like me ... tammy : i 'm sorry , i did n't tell lizzie about you . jonathan : it 's okay . it does n't matter . hope and dreams push away the pain and regret but loving you just let 's me know ...

olivia : hello , alan . alan : well , olivia . you seem to be making a habit of showing up places where you 're not invited . olivia : thomas said that you were in here . and i assume that dr. langham told you that i visited phillip . alan : yes , he did . after i specifically asked you not to see phillip . olivia : i know , but i was worried about him , alan . i did n't trust that you were telling me the truth about him so i went . i just needed to see for myself , okay ? the last thing i wanted to do was to upset him . alan : really ? and that 's exactly what you did . you set him back . now you , of all people , olivia , know the damage that good intentions can do . now i want you to stay away from phillip . olivia : what 's the official diagnosis ? alan : of you or phillip ? olivia : oh , i ca n't get a concrete answer from anyone ! i 'm not technically family , okay ? alan : no , you 're not . olivia : he just seemed very confused and desperate . alan : what 's wrong ? olivia : i just feel woozy . alan : here . sit down . sit down . my goodness . maybe it 's something you ate . olivia : or did n't . i have n't been able to able to touch food since i heard about him . alan : well , then i 'll have cook prepare you a little lunch . olivia : alan , i 'm sorry . alan : no , it 's all right . and any information that dr. langham gives us concerning phillip , i will share with you . we 're not going to shut you out on this . olivia : okay . harley : all right , sweetie , what 's up ? you do n't want to go to school ? zach : i 'm sick . i 'm sick . harley : you are ? well , your head does n't feel warm . does your tummy hurt ? okay , tell me where it hurts ? is it your ear ? is it your throat ? does your head hurt ? ( laughs ) well , bunny , i can not make it better if you do n't tell mommy what 's wrong . zach : i 'm sick like daddy . josh : okay , how 's your grip ? is your grip , okay ? shayne : yeah , sure . remy : keep your head up . good . josh : that 's good . that 's good . shayne : no , it 's not good enough . josh : well ... remy : you 're up out of that . that 's progress . shayne : you 're holding me up . josh : we 're just helping you keep steady . that 's all . shayne : yeah , whatever . whatever . back off . josh : no , shayne . shayne . shayne : no , i need to see how much weight i can support on my own . josh : yeah , but you do n't have to do that right now . not today . shayne : dad , let me go . remy : not a good idea , ace . better to take it slow . shayne : no , i have to try . josh : shayne , when ian outlined this exercise program for you he was specific about the pace , remember ? shayne : yeah , he told me i needed to push . josh : yeah , but ... remy : you push everyday . every minute we go at this stuff . josh : look , you 're not ready to do more . not yet . shayne : well , let me ... let me see . let me see what i 'm ready to do . please . please . josh : okay , okay . careful , careful . all right , that 's ... shayne : no , stay back . stay back ! darci : hello . frank : hello . darci : roomie . frank : yes ? darci : nothing . i just love you , that 's all . and i was hoping that you and i could talk about brown . frank : brown ? darci : mm - hmm . frank : brown , as in the color of my house , everything all ... darci : you 're aware of it . that 's a good sign . frank : well , i like the color brown . darci : mm - hmm . frank : brown is practical . and it does n't get dirty . darci : oh , no . no . see that 's where you 're wrong . it does n't show the dirt . there 's a big difference there . frank : well , and it 's also very masculine . darci : it is . it is a masculine color . but it 's also just a tad bit dull . frank , i do n't want to shake your masculinity here at all . i just think that your house could use a little punch of color . frank : okay , so what are we talking here ? maybe yellow and pink flowered wallpaper ? darci : ugh , no , no , no . i hate that stuff . i 'm just talking about something like spicing it up a little ... just giving it a little flare . frank : ( laughs ) a little flare , huh ? darci : mm - hmm . frank : oh . darci : oh , you hate the idea . frank : no . no , i do n't hate it . i ... darci : no , never mind now . it 's ... it 's your house and i do n't want to be one of those girls that comes in and tries to change everything . even though you said that the furnishings were negotiable . frank : the furnishings are negotiable . but i did n't say anything about the color . darci : frank . frank : okay , okay . i was teasing you here . i want you to know that this is your house , too . and i want you to be happy . right after eleni left , i guess i just attached myself to the color brown just to kind of make my own . you know what , darci ? you do what you need to do . darci : thank you . gus : hey . we have a meeting , right ? darci : well , i guess i should let you two boys talk . gus : thanks . darci : oh , i 've got so much to think about . gus : you got a lot going on ? frank : oh , in the midst of negotiations here . gus : well , thank you very much for penciling me in . i appreciate it . frank : that 's all right . from the sounds of it on the phone you seem like you got a lot going on yourself . what 's happening ? gus : it 's family . frank : family ? i thought everything was okay with you and harley . gus : no . that ... no . that ... the other family . the spauldings . frank : the spauldings . no offense , gus , but i still find it very hard to believe that you 're connected to that family . gus : well , you know , the facts are the facts . and you want to talk about having a lot going on . frank : and you 're referring to lizzie going off the rails and now phillip ? gus : look , the bottom line is that they are my family . and they need my help right now . so here it goes . i need a leave of absence from the police force and i need it starting immediately . lizzie : you thought i was at school , did n't you ? sorry , there 's teachers ' conferences today . looks like you did n't do all your homework . olivia : how are you , lizzie ? lizzie : and that would take so long to answer . but look at you . you look different . oh , you 're thinner . i guess having a baby would do that to you . olivia : well , you have n't lost your touch . lizzie : what are you talking about ? olivia : you do n't know . my baby is dead , lizzie . lizzie : well , what happened ? olivia : she just died . lizzie : and now you 're back . olivia : oh , wow . well , i could see how heartbroken you are . lizzie : but i 'm amazed that i mean the way you took off out of town like that , i figured you 'd just keep running . olivia : well , there 's really no reason to run anymore is there ? alan : elizabeth , what are you doing home ? lizzie : oh , well , there 's teacher conferences at school all day . but do n't worry i was n't alone for second . olivia 's been taking care of me . alan : look , olivia is not feeling well at the moment . so why do n't you run upstairs and get started on your homework ? lizzie : please let me stay . we have so much stuff here to catch up on . alan : elizabeth , i want you to go . lizzie : you think i 'm going to do something to her , do n't you ? what ... what reasons do i have ? huh ? i 've been through like a million hours of therapy since the last time i 've seen her . now do n't you think that maybe just a little bit human ? olivia : you know what , alan ? i think it might be good for all of us if lizzie and i had a chance to talk . alan : very well . thomas will be in shortly with your lunch . and i will ... olivia : thank you . alan : ... take these papers . and i will be right outside in the hall if you need me . lizzie : well , what do you know ? you 're not even in the house for two minutes and they 're already whipping you up stuff to eat . like the good old days , huh ? olivia : not quite . lizzie : yeah , i guess you 're right . things have changed . olivia : i 'd say nothing 's the same . lizzie : then i guess we do have a lot to talk about , huh ? harley : who told you daddy was sick ? zach : i do n't know . harley : you just heard somebody say it . what did they say ? zach : they say he 's in bad shape and all that . they ca n't make him feel better . harley : okay . well , first of all , daddy 's not ... he 's not sick like ... sick in bed sick . he 's tired . and he 's sad . he 's a little bit sad . but you know how much daddy works . i think he just needs to take a break for a while . zach : why is he sad ? harley : because he 's got a lot of worries in his head . zach : why ? harley : oh , boy . okay . you know how ... okay , remember on your first day at the new school ? you remember how scared you were that you were n't going to know anybody ? and you remember how that morning how you could n't eat any breakfast ? and you could n't go to sleep the night before ? well , that 's kind of how it is with daddy . i mean he 's not worried about school , he 's worried about different things . but it 's kind of that same feeling . it 's going to be all right . it is . zach : i do n't want daddy to be sad . harley : i know you do n't . but it happens , you know ? it happens to people . but the good thing is that it goes away . it gets better after a while . it does . so i do n't want you to be worried or scared , all right ? and i want you to remember something . i will ... i will never ever let anything bad happen to you , okay ? zach : or daddy ? harley : or daddy . frank : phillip 's in that bad a shape that you need to step in ? gus : well , he 's cognizant enough to realize that he wants to protect his interests at spaulding , right ? and alan , well , alan just wants me to be there . frank : alan wants you to help run spaulding ? gus : no , he just wants me to be there for as long as it takes for phillip to get well . at least that 's what he is making me believe . but , frank , here 's the thing . i 'm getting to know this man , you know . i 'm getting to know alan for the last ... well , the whole year . mostly because he busted his butt to get into my life . and the bottom line is i feel like i owe him a little time . frank : i think you mean most of your time being that you 're here asking for a leave of absence . gus : is there ... is there a problem ? frank : well , to be quite honest with you , yeah . i do n't want it to set it a precedent with all the other detectives that they feel like they can ask for any time off at any time . gus : well , hold ... wait , wait . frank , the whole thing equates to me just taking all of my vacation days that i did n't get for the whole year . can we call it that ? can we call it an extended vacation ? frank : i think it 's an easier sell with the commissioner . what about your other cases ? gus : well , they 're easier to read . i mean i 'm not working on anyone case by myself . frank : you just got it all figured out , do n't you ? gus : frank , i 'd be an idiot to come here if i had n't . i thought of it all . come on , what do you say ? what ? frank : nah , it 's just that i 'm just picturing you walking down the halls at spaulding there with your little pinstripe suit and your briefcase saying good morning , ' to all of the secretaries . `` hey , good morning . good morning . `` gus : ( laughs ) yeah , well , i 'm not going to be doing that . the thing is , frank , you know , for this past year getting to just to spend time with alan , i ... i mean the guy 's my father . and i did n't realize this , but it 's starting to mean something to me . frank : all right . well , it reminds a lot of how i felt about my dad . gus : yeah , right . you and buzz , you had some father / son making up to do , did n't you ? frank : yeah . as a matter of fact for the longest time the mere sight of him made me angry as hell . but the guy hung in there . and i guess i did too , because , you know , in the end i forgave him . that 's my dad . all right , gus , you got your leave of absence . gus : thank you . frank : under one condition . if the crime rate in springfield spikes , i 'm hauling you back in . gus : you got it . josh : okay , that 's it . that 's it . shayne : no , not yet . josh : your two minutes are up . shayne : no , not yet . not yet ! josh : you have to got to rest right now . remy : come on , man , you could hurt yourself . shayne : just leave me alone , okay ? josh : there 's no reason to torture yourself , shayne . shayne : i have to do this , okay ? i have to ... remy : what happened ? shayne : it 's just a cramp . josh : for god 's sake , it 's -- shayne : i said it 's just a cramp ! josh : okay . all right , all right . shayne : all right . bert : josh ! josh , it takes time . josh , we 're at the beginning . you 're at the beginning . so am i . look at how far we 've come already . do n't look at the distance that 's left to go . josh : do n't expect miracles , is that what you 're saying ? bert : no , i 'm not telling you that . because life itself is a miracle . and do n't you ever forget it . josh : you 're doing great , son . i said it a thousands times . i 'll say it again . i 'm proud of you . remy : hey , hey . chill , buddy . i 'm serious . he 's right on the edge . josh : shayne , you have got to stop right now . shayne : no . josh : enough is enough . shayne : no ! josh : everybody has their limit . you 've got yours . shayne : damn it ! no ! josh : you asked me to coach you , to help you , right ? shayne : yeah , so you can push me . so push me . josh : how could i make progress ? this is not about making progress . shayne : push me ! josh : this is dangerous . and it 's foolish . you have got to stop . shayne : well , then you go home . then get out ! remy : hey , hey , your dad is right . shayne : then you could go home , too . go home . josh : shayne , stop . shayne ... i got you . easy . easy . easy . marina : here you go . enjoy . okay . messenger : excuse me . marina : yeah , let me just clear off this table and you can sit down , okay ? messenger : are you marina cooper ? marina : yeah . messenger : as soon as you sign for it . marina : ( laughs ) okay . darci : hey . is there a problem ? marina : well , somebody sent me a package . darci : cool . well , why do n't you take it ? put those down . marina : right . yes . that 's exactly what i was thinking i was going to do . darci : ah - huh . marina : i 'm used to serving lunch specials , not getting them . darci : thanks . marina : oh . darci : let 's see . marina : i love presents . oh , my god . darci : oh , my gosh . that 's beautiful . that 's gorgeous . oh , my gosh , who 's it from ? marina : i do n't know . there 's a card . darci : shayne ? marina : he 's amazing . he had marah make this dress for me for the holiday dance coming up at school . he said , he 'll be dancing with me in his dreams . darci : oh , my gosh , that is so sweet . marina : how did i get this lucky ? darci : oh , marina . what else does it say ? marina : it says that i should close my eyes when i 'm dancing and i 'll be able to feel his arms around me . i already do . lizzie : so , where do you want to start ? the baby ? olivia : no . lizzie : oh , i 'm sorry . i do n't mean to be ... olivia : what , lizzie ? you do n't mean to be cruel ? lizzie : sometimes i do n't know how what i want to say is going to actually come out . but you do n't believe me . olivia : you know what i believe ? i believe that you 've had a very hard time of it . and i know how that is . lizzie : you know that letter that you left for mom and me , it was right . i mean , i did n't want to hurt your baby . and i 've gotten a lot clearer on that this past few months . because the baby , she was just an innocent little child and she was going to be my little sister . why would i want to hurt her ? olivia : yeah , why would you ? but you know , you 're not going to get a chance to know her now . lizzie : i wish none of this had ever happened . i can see why you do n't trust me though . olivia : yeah , can you really ? lizzie : i was just so angry before you left . it was coming out all over the place . and i did n't know what else to do or how ? i was a mess . olivia : yeah . do you think that things have gotten better ? lizzie : i guess a little . but i was n't trying to hurt your baby . i was trying to hurt you , olivia . and it just happened through your baby . olivia : yeah , i know . i know . i got that part . lizzie : and that 's why you left . olivia : yeah , because i did n't think you would stop trying to hurt me until my baby was dead . lizzie : that was n't my fault though . it was n't my fault . see that 's why ... that 's a part of why i hated you so much . no matter what happened , you blamed it on me . there , lizzie 's gone and done something wrong again . she 's done something horrible ... olivia : you still sound a little angry , lizzie . lizzie : well , i keep my therapist busy . good old doctor langham . olivia : hey , tell me something . what 's the other part ? lizzie : the other part of what ? olivia : the other part of why you hate me so much ? lizzie : you really do n't know ? olivia : well , maybe if you say it out loud you wo n't have to act on it . lizzie : i hate you because you ruined things between me and my dad . you ruined him , okay ? i do n't get why you ever even had to meet daddy . do you know how much better off we 'd be if it had never happened ? josh : shayne , are you all right ? that 's it . let 's get him back in the chair right now . remy : right . shayne : no leave it . you leave it ! remy : what ? josh : shayne , you 've got to get back in the chair now . shayne : i 'm not a stupid cripple , okay ? josh : look , you ca n't ... shayne : i ca n't walk ? i know i ca n't walk , okay ? but i will ! i will . just ... remy , get over here ! just boost me up . remy : look ... listen to me . shayne : just boost me up , please ? remy : you get hurt , you mess us all up . you , because it 'll take that much longer to walk . and your dad and me , because ian wo n't let us work with you alone if something goes wrong on our watch . shayne : you think i care ? i do n't care ! remy : you should . josh : will you bring the wheelchair over here , please , right now ? no , just ... just ... shayne : no , no . you touch that , you are not my brother ! josh : listen to me . listen to me now . going into the ninth inning , you got a one - one lead , you feel your elbow pop on the first pitch . now what are you going to do ? you 're going to tell the manager about it , you 're going to keep it to yourself until it gets worse ? shayne : okay , do n't start , okay . josh : i mean how irresponsible are you going to be in this situation , shayne ? shayne : oh , you 're going to talk to me about responsibility ? sandy : come on , guys , chill . josh : i do n't want to see you do something that 's going to get you hurt . shayne : i knew we were going to get back to what you want . josh : no , no , do n't twist this around . shayne : no , because it 's all about you ! it 's about your feeling guilty . about your guilt ! remy : he does n't know what he 's saying . the pain is getting to him . josh : i would feel a whole lot more guilty if i let you do something right now that you 're not ready for . shayne : yeah , well , that 's your problem . josh : you have got to stop right now . if you do n't stop , if you do n't get in that chair , i 'm going to walk out of here . i 'm going to leave and you 're going to have to find yourself another coach . shayne : yeah , well , fine . fine . fine ! josh : you get out of this wheelchair right now ... ! sandy : all right . hold it . both of you . you ca n't go at each other like this . josh : sandy , this is between me and shayne . just get in the chair . sandy : let me tell you something . this is what i grew up with : screaming fights with my dad and me , all right ? josh , you 're not going to walk , you 're not going to leave here and you know that . he 's your son . and , shayne , you 're not going to push your body to the point where you 're worse than when you started . you both got it ? so you better figure out some calm , reasonable way to deal with this therapy , because this is n't working . shayne : no , you do n't get it , okay ? i have to be stronger ! sandy : i get that . shayne : no , you do n't get , because it 's not just about me . i have to be strong ... i have to walk for marina ! i have to walk ! shayne : just ... remy : easy , easy , easy . josh : careful , shayne . get the wheelchair . darci : shayne 's a special guy . marina : i know . he is . of course you have one , too . and i hear you 're living with him in the infamous house of brown . darci : yes . marina , are you okay with frank and i moving in together ? marina : please . it 's the best thing that could have happened to him . i just hope it 's going to work out for you . darci : ( laughs ) well , i guess all i could do is try , right ? i mean it ca n't be that hard . although this is kind of new for me . this whole nesting thing . i do n't know . forget about making a home . i never even lived in one place for more than a month before . marina : and i 'm sure you 've seen your share of brown places . darci : yeah , well , known quite like frank 's . but then again i never met a man like frank before . taking this step with your father really means a lot to me , marina . marina : he 's really happy , darci . darci : so am i . marina : good . not that i 'm really miss worldly when it comes to , you know , cohabitation or anything , but i think i know one of the keys to you and my dad really making it long term . darci : oh , yeah ? what 's that ? marina : you 've got to get rid of that tweed recliner . darci : ( laughs ) marina : i am serious . you should 86 that hunk of trash , keep the man who bought it . darci : all right , i think i got it . kill the chair , keep the dad . i think i can remember that . ( laughs ) harley : hey . gus : baby ! well , i guess zach is n't so sick that he did n't go to school otherwise he would n't be here , right ? harley : well , it turns out he 's not sick , sick . he is worried sick . gus : ( sighs ) harley : he does n't understand what 's going on with his dad . gus : well , that makes two of us . i do n't understand what 's going on with him , either . harley : so how did it go with frank ? gus : yes , right . well , i am officially off the roster . harley : oh , and putting yourself on the roster at spauldings . gus : ( clearing his throat ) yeah , i 'm just going to alan that now . so ... what ? harley : ( laughs ) gus : what ? harley : i 'm just envisioning you in this three - piece pinstriped corporate look . it 's very sexy . gus : no . everybody 's saying that . no , just keep dreaming , okay ? no , my downtown suits , they 're just fine . the spaulding dress code can uh ! harley : what kind of an attitude is that ? gus : it 's my attitude . why ? you 've got a problem with it ? harley : no . gus : hey , i 've got to tell you something . jeffrey : yeah . gus : yeah . well , i wanted you to be the first to know and i want you to hear it from me . jeffrey : okay , i 'm listening . gus : i took a leave of absence from the police force to go work with my father at spaulding enterprises . jeffrey : why , i think that 's great . that means you 'll get a first hand look at how your family makes it daily bread . that 's wonderful . harley : they have tons of dough . jeffrey : ( laughs ) gus : all right , you know , i know it 's funny and everything . but the funny thing really is that i think i might be looking forward to this . see you later , right ? harley : hey , hey , jeffrey ? jeffrey : yes ? yes ? harley : i need to talk to you . jeffrey : well , get in line . there 's a lot of ladies who want to talk to me . harley : it 's not that kind of talk . and i 'm not one of your ladies , okay ? it 's about your proposal . jeffrey : i do n't know what you 're talking about . harley : well , what if i had a hypothetical situation ? could we talk about that ? jeffrey : you say you want to talk to me about a hypothetical situation ? harley : yeah . involves a friend of mine with a decision to make . it 's kind of a new case i stumbled on to . jeffrey : so , why talk to me ? harley : well , i 'm figuring you 're the only person who could advise me of how to handle it . jeffrey : what are the particulars ? harley : my friend 's thinking of making a job change . and what if this new boss -- i do n't know -- misrepresented himself when he made the offer ? how does my friend find out if he 's being honest with him ? jeffrey : well , why would he be dishonest ? harley : because he 's a ruthless bastard who does n't think twice about using my friend to hurt the people that she loves as long as he gets whatever job it is he wants done done . how does she protect herself against this -- jeffrey : from this ruthless bastard ? harley : exactly . jeffrey : well , that is a dilemma . but obviously the job is attractive to her on some level otherwise she would n't be considering it . harley : i 'll give you that . jeffrey : but if she 's suspicious , well , then she 's not going to be able to devote the proper attention to the job . she 's probably not going even to commit to the job in the first place . harley : what do you suggest ? jeffrey : well , i would suggest that she tells the ruthless bastard to find someone else . darci : hello . frank : oh , no , here 's that smile again . darci : ( laughs ) frank : i know you were talking to marina . so what 's next on the hit list ? darci : frank . the recliner . frank : the recliner . i love that chair . darci : you said the other day that you 'd be willing to get rid of it . frank : well , i spoke too soon . i mean , well , i guess , i was excited . darci : i thought about me moving in . frank : well , i 'm still excited about that , too . darci : i see how it is . i guess the honeymoon phase is over , huh ? okay , you want to play hardball ? fine . plan b : compromise . my green striped chair . frank : your what ? darci : you let me bring my green striped chair , i 'll let you keep your big brown monster . frank : okay , deal . what about the table ? darci : what about it ? the tables are suppose to be brown . but those brown driftwood sculptures , circa 1980 , back to the beach . frank : and what if i say no ? darci : i do n't think you can . olivia : you know something ? i never expected us to become friends , lizzie , or for you to accept me as part of your family . but i had hoped that you 'd make peace with the situation . you 're obviously not there yet . lizzie : well , i 'm sorry you do n't approve of my disapproval . olivia : yeah , you know , disapproval leaves room for maneuver . outright hatred does n't give us much to work with . it 's really too bad . lizzie : well , my therapist , dr. langham , says i should be honest about my feelings . and this is how i feel ! olivia : hey , well , you know what ? i do n't want to stand in the way of your progress . so i 'll tell you what i 'm going to do . i 'm going to leave town . this time permanently . what ? what ? you 're not thrilled ? come on , this is what you wanted , right ? i 'll be out of your life and your father 's life for good . maybe you could stop being angry now if that 's possible . lizzie : look , olivia , i do n't want you to leave , okay ? i love the thought of it , but i love my dad so much more . olivia : meaning what ? lizzie : he needs your help . he 's lying there in that hospital bed like a basket case and i ca n't even go see him . olivia : that might not be such a bad thing , lizzie . lizzie : you think i do n't have any feelings about this ? i know that part of the stuff i did is why he 's in there for him to break down or whatever it is . but i love him . i love him more than anything in the world . and i know that ... olivia : you know what ? lizzie : i know that he loves you . and it makes all the difference . olivia : how ? lizzie : because we have all tried to help him and get him back to normal . but it did n't work . and you 're the only one left who can try . olivia : i do n't think i could ... i ... your grandfather is n't going to let me see him . lizzie : oh , so that 's more important than daddy getting better ? i thought you actually cared about him ? olivia : i do care about him ! lizzie : then maybe for once we actually have something in common . olivia , please just stay in springfield and try to help daddy get through this . harley : so you think that given the hypothetical situation my friend should turn down this job offer ? jeffrey : i think if she 's so hypothetically worried about hurting these loved ones , because she 's being hypothetically manipulated by -- harley : i think used is probably a better expression . jeffrey : okay , used by the new boss then maybe she should stay clear of the matter . harley : thank you . i 'll tell her that . jeffrey : on the other hand , if this employer has to hire somebody else even though your friend is by far in a way the best person for the job , people could still get hurt . harley : why ? jeffrey : why ? because the people that your friend is so worried about getting hurt are going to get hurt anyway . far worse . because the new hiree is not going to know who they are and he 's not going to care who becomes victim to any collateral damage . harley : that 's a good point . i 'll tell her that . jeffrey : of course this is all hypothetically anyway , right ? i mean , maybe there 's nothing to worry about . harley : maybe there is n't it . jeffrey : that 's why i hate hypotheticals , you know . i prefer to get right to the meat of the problem , right ? and you know , grab on to it and not let go until the problem 's solved . kind of like the terrier with a bone . gus : hey . alan : hey , gus . gus : okay . number one : no suits and ties . but yes to jackets . but no to three- piece , fat , pinstriped suits , okay . and no suspenders . that 's non - negotiable . alan : all right . gus : okay , okay . number two : they are ... oh , right . okay . i 'm not the corporate type , right ? alan : whatever that is . gus : okay . but if i ever get , you know , like the heebie - jeebies from doing too much of whatever it is that people usually do who are attracted to wearing fat , pinstriped suits do , then i might need to get some air . alan : that 's fine . your office will have a terrace . gus : no , i mean , like , a lot farther away from that . like down the street away from the building , you know , maybe all the way to the police station where i could just check on things and how they 're going . alan : i have no objection with that . gus : okay , okay , okay . alan : but tell me , why would you get the heebie - jeebies ? gus : well ... i 'm not the corporate type , you know , i 'm not a corporate cat . i 'm not even used to being the rookie anymore . so , you know , alan , the thing is i do n't even know if i could really help you at spaulding at all . but if you want me there then , you know then i 'm there . alan : good . because i want you there . gus : okay , well , then i 'm there . i 'm going to need the keys to the executive office , okay . and also the executive washroom , because ... alan : ( laughs ) all right . you know i ca n't tell you how much this means to me . gus : it means a lot to me as well . alan : good . marina : hi . michelle : hi . wow ! great dress . marina : well , great boyfriend . what 's up ? michelle : oh , actually i came by to see your great boyfriend . marina : oh , really ? well , he 's still in physical therapy right now . but he should be back soon if you want to wait . michelle : okay . marina : so how 's danny ? michelle : he 's busy . he is excited . he 's happy . it 's like it 's a dream ... no , it is . it 's a dream come true . i mean talk about a life change . danny 's running for mayor . marina : this is so amazing . michelle : i know . marina : i guess amazing things do happen , huh ? i 've been thinking a lot about carrie and this wish stuff . michelle : yeah ? you 've got any ideas ? marina : yeah , i just ( laughs ) ... i do n't even want to say it out loud , you know , i do n't really want to jinx it . michelle : why ? why ? i made wish and look what 's happened already . marina : you wished that danny would be mayor ? michelle : well , i wished for what i wished for the day i fell in love with danny : freedom . marina : from what ? michelle : from the world that he grew up in . the life that he led . and now the mayor 's about out of the race and danny in it and the people have been wonderful to him . i mean they want him . marina : you think that 's all because of the ring ? michelle : maybe . i mean it 's all a coincidence . i do n't know . but i ca n't help thinking that just believing makes all the difference . so if you have for a wish , why hold back ? i say go for it . marina : i want shayne to get better . i want him to walk again . michelle : that 's a beautiful wish . marina : yeah , i guess i ca n't really lose anything by saying it out loud , huh ? except my belief that it 'll come true . michelle : do n't think that . marina : you 're right . it would be pretty amazing if one little wish could make shayne walk again . michelle : well , stranger things have happened . marina : yeah . if these rings could make wishes come true , i wonder what else they could help change ? edmund : next on guiding light : jeffrey : look , i know of something that might help shayne . are you interested ? cassie : of course i 'm interested . sandy : you know how i said the other day that i wanted to keep you out of the family ? i do n't think that 's the right way to go . josh : you know , reva , i wish you would just tell me what 's really wrong . reva : i will . soon . marah : why do n't you tell us what all of this means ? marina : yeah , and what it has to do with our families ? carrie : do n't you want to make the connections yourselves ? and if you do , i promise you that everything -- life in springfield will change forever .

reva : so really , i mean , that is all that you can tell me ? no , there 's got to be more ! cassie : did you get my message ? reva : no , no , no ! do n't hang up . please do n't hang up on me . i know . i know . i 'm trying to understand here , but ... okay . yeah . sure . thanks . thanks . thanks for your help . cassie : what 's going on ? reva : nothing . you know ... why do n't you go get changed and i 'll meet you back here on the bikes . cassie : why do n't you first tell me what 's going on . reva : i said nothing . cassie : something 's got you going , reva . reva : okay . okay . it 's shayne . he 's pushing himself way too hard and he 's not going to make himself any better , he 's going to make himself worse . and there 's nothing i can do to stop him . nothing . tammy : you took all those notes at last night 's rehearsal ? sandy : do n't panic . they 're not all for you . i 'm simply playing catch - up . let 's start with the last scene you had in rehearsal . all right , you have the emotion going for you , but i think that 's a scene where juliet can really let go , you know ? it 's a vulnerable moment . she can let the tears flow . tammy : tears ? sandy : yeah , it 's a key moment for her . tammy : i know . i was going in the other direction with it . edmund said if i hold back on the emotion there and play against the moment that the scene will have more impact . sandy : how did edmund get involved ? tammy : well , he 's been coaching me since before my audition . i probably would n't have even gotten the part if it were n't for edmund . sandy : well , maybe he should be directing instead of me . tammy : sorry . i 'm just trying to explain . sandy : i do n't want outsiders calling the shots in this production . especially not edmund . tammy : that 's not what he 's trying to do . sandy : i do n't want him involved . i do n't like the guy . i do n't trust him and i never will . tammy : that could be a problem . sandy : why ? tammy : because he 's here . i sort of invited him to join us . josh : i bet you 're really glad i decided to join you today , huh ? frank : that 's fine , josh . i 'm just sorry that you 're having a tough time . josh : yeah , you 're just catching me at a down time , that 's all . so , coffee 's on me , just to say thank you for listening to my problems and i assume , too , that your daughter , knowing her , has filled you in on life with the lewises . frank : well , she probably would have if i could pin her down but marina 's actually been a woman of mystery these days . michelle : okay , you two , tell me what you 've found . marina : okay . so after you left the other day marah remembered all these boxes in the basement and we hit the mother load on maryanne caruthers . marah : they were filled with tons of information on the museum , on horace caruthers , the original curator for the museum , the guy who went crazy . marina : who also happens to be maryanne 's grandfather . michelle : oh , the plot thickens . marina : wait until you read the article . marah : it 's all about horace caruthers and how he was trying to debunk the whole idea that there was a ... a curse on the museum 's egyptian artifacts . michelle : yeah , yeah , the curse of queen otiri . `` curator horace caruthers says ' this museum has a responsibility to history and science , not curses and voodoo . ' `` marah : uh - huh . so the way we see it is horace went down into the sarcophagus , you know , to do some scientific research of his own , to debunk the myth . marina : yeah , but something happened with this queen otiri and voodoo and he ended up in the sarcophagus and later in the asylum . marah : yep , look . here is a program from the opening night gala at the museum naming brandon spaulding and spaulding enterprises as benefactors . michelle : so the spauldings and the caruthers were connected ? marina : yeah , but we do n't know how yet . michelle : okay . have we found out how all this ties to maryanne to our fathers and buzz ? marah : we 're still working on that one . marina : well , what we do know is that there is some sort of mysterious death syndrome associated with the caruthers family . i mean , first horace dies in an asylum and then years later his granddaughter , maryanne , met an equally mysterious death . michelle : poor girl , i wonder if she died in the asylum , too . marah : i wonder if insanity runs in the caruthers ' blood line . marina : make a note . marah : yeah . michelle : okay , guys . but the big question still is carrie is insisting that my dad and josh and buzz all have this connection to maryanne and yet they all deny it . so why ? marina : right . and why do they all get so intense when we ask if they had heard of her ? michelle : my dad is still completely on edge around me . how about josh ? marah : it 's kind of hard to tell . he 's already all intense days with shayne 's accident and everything . marina : well , you know , my grandfather has made it very clear he does n't want me digging around in his past . michelle : i feel like we 're in the middle of a nancy drew mystery . marina : nancy who ? michelle : ha - ha . i know you 've read every single one of those nancy drew books . carrie : well you 're about to take a crash refresher course . well , did no one think to invite me to this little coffee klatch ? michelle : carrie , so i see you 've had your ear pressed against the wall again . marah : you know , if you could just get used to e - mails or instant messaging or something carrie : instant , instant , instant . horrors . e - mail . everything is instant . nothing good ever came instantly , even god took six days . well , i expect you were talking about the men in your family . michelle : yes , we were . we were , and we were hoping that maybe you could tell us how they 're connected to maryanne . marina : yeah , i mean , sometimes you act like they 're criminals or something . carrie : you do n't think that your grandfather has a criminal tendency ? marina : no , of course not . marah : i think that maybe they might have gotten into something over their head that they regret now . michelle : i got it . marah : what ? michelle : the white powder . carrie : eureka , at last . i knew you would sniff that out sooner or later . marah : you know , i 'm so tired of this prying and sniffing and everything . why do n't you just tell us what all this means . marina : and what it has to do with our families . carrie : well , what is the fun in that ? do n't you want to play the game ? do n't you want to make the connections yourselves ? and if you do , i can promise you that everything , life in springfield , will change forever . michelle : look , this may be a game to you , but you 've involved people that we love . our dads , marina 's granddad . and the mention of maryanne 's name has upset all three of them . so if you know something that can help , we need to hear it , now . carrie : instant gratification again . no one wants to work for anything anymore . all right . all right . i 'll tell you . the white powder is the key . it is the key to everything that happened before and after . it all began with the warning . before the artifacts had even arrived at springfield , the curator was warned by his contacts in egypt never to open that sarcophagus . marina : what does that have to do with maryanne ? she was n't even born yet . carrie : you people are going to drive me mad . when you ask a question , the trick is to wait for the answer . after the untimely death of the curator , there was another man who was very , very interested in this mysterious white powder . he was a scientist . he was also the curator 's son and maryanne 's father . he got into the museum late at night . he got past the guards and just as he 'd suspected , there was plenty of powder to be found . but there was something else that caught his eye : a ring . and three others just like it . the rings that i gave to you . well , put them on . do n't be frightened . and then i 'll continue the story . edmund : well , you 're in the middle of something . i do n't want to interrupt . tammy : you 're not . i invited you . edmund : we 'll catch up later , all right ? it 's good to see you , sandy . tammy : edmund , wait . i 'm sorry . i should have told you that sandy would be here . edmund : well , i think sandy 's the one you should have warned . tammy : i just wanted to sort out some of the confusion , about the play . you and sandy have such different takes on how juliet should be played . i thought if the three of us sat down together we could work it out . edmund : tammy , this setup of yours has nothing to do with the play ? tammy : just ... just let me talk to him . edmund : tammy , i know your heart 's in the right place . tammy : five minutes . five minutes . that 's all i ask . edmund : all right . all right . i 'll ... i 'll be out front . sandy : is he gone ? tammy : for now . sandy : all right . let 's get back to work . tammy : i know i did this all wrong . but if you 'd just give yourself a chance to get to know edmund . sandy : i do n't think so . let 's face it , tammy , the `` let 's all get along `` thing is n't going to work here . tammy : something 's got to give , or we 're all going to end up like the characters in this play . sandy : do n't go there . tammy : is n't this play about what happens to families when they keep old hatreds and conflicts alive ? it 's the kids who pay . they get caught in a war between their families . sandy : nice try , but the lewises and the winslows are n't at war . tammy : no . but you are , with edmund and with yourself . sandy : well , like you said , the kids always end up paying the price . tammy : in the play they do , but we do n't have to do it like that . look , you 're not the only one who 's had it rough because of edmund winslow . cassie : okay . so what are you saying , that shayne hurt himself ? that he 's had some kind of a setback ? reva : not yet . but according to all of the specialists i 've talked to , the experts , they say it 's just a matter of time if he keeps pushing himself the way he has been . cassie : i thought his physical therapist was helping him . reva : well , he was . but shayne 's got himself a new coach : joshua . cassie : what do his doctors think ? reva : well , i do n't even think the doctors have been consulted . shayne decided that his physical therapist was being too cautious and he wanted josh to put him on a more accelerated workout program . cassie : well , if it 's dangerous , josh would never do anything to hurt shayne . reva : i do n't think josh knows how dangerous it can be . you know , he still believes that pushing the limit is a good thing . at least he thought that until yesterday . cassie : what happened yesterday ? reva : shayne collapsed during his workout . cassie : oh , my god . reva : marah told me that they were working out here everyday so i decided that i was going to check it out . cassie : okay . so they did n't object ? reva : well , they did n't because they could n't see me . i kept out of the way . you know shayne , dragging himself across those parallel bars , you know , sweating out of every pour . his whole body was shaking and then he let out this cry that took everything in me not to step in and stop it . i mean , i know that josh would never let shayne do anything to hurt himself . cassie : no , he would n't . reva : but shayne would n't listen . he just kept driving himself until he finally collapsed . cassie : i can see why you 're upset , reva . reva : well , i have to do something to put a stop to it . cassie : okay . well , maybe the workout looked tough , but josh has been where shayne is . he knows how to overcome paralysis . reva : it 's not the same as with shayne as it was with joshua . i know because i 've done the research . cassie : what kind of research ? reva : in the last two days , i 've talked to eight different specialists and they all agree that if shayne keeps pushing his body this way , he could reverse the progress that he 's made . he could make his condition worse . cassie : you 've got to tell him . reva : yeah , well , i 've tried . and the two of them , every time i hope my mouth they give me that `` mother ! `` look . and now if i go to them with quotes from experts they 're both going to think i 'm just crazy and that i 'm stopping shayne from improving . it seems like every time there 's a medical decision that needs to be made , josh and i fall down either side of the fence . and i 'm tired . i 'm tired of biting my tongue knowing that something 's wrong and just not being able to say anything while i watch my child suffer and i just ... i wo n't do it anymore . cassie : okay . why do n't we get out of here , all right ? we 'll go back to your place , we 'll get on the internet . there has to be a hundred different medical websites . we 'll find something different , something that wo n't hurt shayne . reva : been there ; done that . and i came up empty . and all the medical books i 've read , same thing . cassie : how can you come up empty ? you 've got to find something ? reva : are we going to work out or not ? cassie : no i 've got to pass . i have this horrible headache . i 've had it all morning . reva : okay . cassie : look , reva , there has to be something , you know ? between shayne doing nothing and hurting himself . i mean , there has to be something there . reva : you would think , would n't you ? but there is n't . i mean , i 've come up empty . i ca n't find anything and the experts ca n't find anything . i ca n't do this . i just ... i 'm going to go change . thanks , though , for listening to me rant . cassie : ranting is good . i think it 's good . listen , and it 's a perfectly fine way to tell josh that he 's got to watch shayne and not let him hurt himself . my cell is always on . please call me . oh , man . jeffrey : hi . you might not believe this , but i think i might be able to help you . cassie : is n't eavesdropping against the law ? jeffrey : well , there 's a ranting provision , actually . cassie : how much did you hear ? jeffrey : i heard enough . look , i know of something that might help shayne . are you interested in . cassie : of course i 'm interested . jeffrey : okay , good . follow me , i 'll drive . cassie : where are we going ? jeffrey : are you always this suspicious , or is it just me ? do n't answer that . frank : you know , josh , i constantly have to remind myself that marina 's a grown - up now and that she 's capable of making her own choices . and i 've got to tell you , she 's ... she 's always going to be my little girl . josh : well , you know , they 're at that age where they still need us , but they do n't want to let on that they need us . it took a while for shayne to ... to let me in , you know , to the point where i could start helping him to heal ? frank : how 's that all going ? josh : it 's still a little soon to tell . you know what ? i really .... frank : hey , josh , listen , listen , i 've got a feeling that shayne 's going to be on his feet soon enough and that hopefully everything will get back to normal . tammy : you know , i loved your father . richard was a wonderful dad . i mean , when he died , i really had it in for edmund . i blamed him for everything . sandy : sounds about right to me . tammy : i did everything i could to try and keep him out of our family and i 'm glad i did n't . edmund 's not what i thought at first . and maybe richard 's death changed him . i do n't know . but when i let myself get to know him , i saw some different stuff . sandy : right . like how he 's all good and caring now ? tammy : if your mind is closed , there 's no point many me wasting my breath . sandy : right . tammy : but you are a jerk if you do n't try to see that family is everything to edmund and you 're a bigger jerk if you do n't see that he 's willing to do anything to make things bet with you and you are the biggest , class a , all- time jerk if you let yourself miss out on this chance ! sandy : hey , not so fast . marah : i wonder if the curse of the egyptians could be locked inside of these rings . i mean , they were found in the sarcophagus along with the white powder . michelle : except my ring has always brought good things into my life . carrie : but you always must be careful what you wish for . marina : so what did the scientist do with the powder and the rings after he found them ? carrie : he was only interested in the powder . he knew that he had in his hands a potentially lethal substance that had the power to destroy a man 's mind forever . but he felt that the powder was really only dangerous when it was in its raw state , so he wanted to develop other theories . breaking down the powder 's elements , the scientist discovered it was composed of medicinal plants and certain products from fish . in ancient times it had been used by egyptian nobles and priests as part of a ritual . the powder created dream - like hallucinations in which the taker felt no pain . that 's when the scientist knew he had hit gold . he had in his hands a substance which , if he could find a way to tame it , would induce a state beyond pain . michelle : that sounds like some kind of early anesthetic . carrie : exactly . a substance that could create euphoria or madness . like many things in life , the key was the balance . everything depended upon how it was developed . michelle : so was the scientist able to bankroll this kind of research and development ? carrie : oh , of course not . but he was determined , and that 's when the caruthers family and the spauldings joined forces . it was a marriage made in heaven , or so they thought . at least at the beginning . marina : brandon spaulding . why did n't we think of that ? it was his money that paid for the egyptian exhibit to be brought back to springfield in the first place . michelle : but it was n't just brandon , though . it was spaulding as in spaulding pharmaceuticals . carrie : exactly . business and science came together in a way that changed both families for generations to come . the drug created by the caruthers / spaulding partnership is now known as antemonium . when it was first introduced medically it was wildly popular worldwide . michelle : a drug like that must have produced megabucks for the spauldings . carrie : and for the caruthers . they became one of the richest and most prominent families in springfield . they were very happy for a time , the widowed scientist and his only child maryanne . he doted on his little daughter . marah : what happened to her ? carrie : i suppose you could say that she got mixed up with the wrong crowd . sandy : we have tammy to thank for this . edmund : yes , we do . and she 's inside where it 's warm . sandy : you want to go in ? edmund : i 'm okay if you are . sandy : good . because if i do n't get this out now , i probably never will . ( sighs ) how 'd i get myself talked into this ? edmund : hey , look , look , how about this ? we stay out here long enough to make it look good and then i leave and you go back inside and tell tammy that i was completely unreasonable . sandy : brilliant idea , but it wo n't work . she wo n't buy it . she 's sold on you . edmund : well , try not to hold it against her . sandy : she sees the good in people , even me . and she knows the importance of family and that 's why i came here to springfield , to find where i belong , if i belong . edmund : there 's no ifs about it . sandy : but it 's been weird since i told reva that i 'm her son , and there 's been this weird shakeup . edmund : well , you had to know this was n't going to be easy . sandy : and you know one of the hardest things is how everyone tiptoes around us . like when reva had the dinner to welcome me to the family and you were n't invited . edmund : i did n't have a problem with that . sandy : and i did n't either , at first . but you know how i said the other day that i wanted to keep you out of the family ? i do n't think that 's the right way to go . is there a way we can just cut the tension a notch ? edmund : yes . i think we can . i 'd like that . sandy : okay . do you have any suggestions ? edmund : well , getting in out of the cold . sandy : yes . that is a good start . cassie : okay , you know , if you really think that this doctor can help , why not bring reva ? why bring me ? jeffrey : well , you know , i thought about approaching reva , but i did n't think she was ready to hear about these non - traditional methods . cassie : okay , we are talking about a medical doctor here ? jeffrey : oh , yeah , absolutely . this guy 's been awarded diplomas and honors from our most prestigious medical schools . cassie : all right . what 's the hitch ? jeffrey : well , it 's acupuncture . he 's an acupuncturist . cassie : acupuncture ? jeffrey : yeah . cassie : for shayne ? jeffrey : mrs. winslow , i 've seen this guy work miracles , give him a chance . cassie : i know that acupuncture has done wonders for certain people in many situations , but shayne 's injuries are extensive , and they are look , josh and reva have talked to many specialists and no one has recommended acupuncture . jeffrey : that 's quite normal because most western medical doctors do n't know the first thing about these alternative methods . doctor , how are you ? dr. yuan : jeffrey ! ( speaking chinese ) jeffrey : ( speaking chinese ) cassie : you know chinese ? jeffrey : thanks for making the time . hello . dr. yuan : ( speaking chinese ) jeffrey : mrs. winslow , this is dr. yuan , someone for whom i have great admiration . cassie : hello . dr. yuan : ( speaking chinese ) jeffrey : just ask your questions and i 'll translate , okay ? cassie : okay . i do n't really know where to start . dr. yuan : ( speaking chinese ) cassie : what 's he saying ? jeffrey : open your mouth . cassie : open my mouth ? jeffrey : yeah , yeah . cassie : what is he a dentist now ? jeffrey : no , he says you have a headache and that he wants to help you . cassie : what is this some kind of a joke ? jeffrey : does dr. yuan look like a joker to you ? open your mouth . cassie : okay . jeffrey : okay , you can close it now . dr. yuan : ( speaking chinese ) cassie : okay . so what 's wrong with me ? jeffrey : you did n't eat today and you overdid it on the lattes . cassie : how does he know that ? jeffrey : he 's a genius . i told you . now , get on the table and see if he can help you with your headache . reva : oh , hi . josh : hi . i called you earlier . reva : yeah , i was just checking my messages . josh : oh , okay . reva : is shayne okay ? josh : yeah , i think he 's okay . why would n't he be ? reva : well , because what happened , you know . josh : no i do n't know . why do n't you tell me . reva : well , i was here , you know , when you were putting shayne through his workout . i just looked like you were ... really putting him through the paces . josh : well , that 's what workouts are for . reva : yeah , it just seemed like you were kind of rough on him . josh : well , i did put a stop to it . reva : yeah , i know . i know . i 'm not criticizing . josh : you 're not ? reva : no . josh : reva , if you were there and you were watching the workout and you had some concern , why did n't you stop us and come over and talk ? reva : because of this , this , this tension that we always seem to find . and i know that you and shayne , these workouts that you 're doing and i know that you and shayne have gotten a lot closer with these workouts that you 're doing and i did n't want to get in the middle of that . and i certainly did n't want to start acting like i was before the accident . josh : which was ? reva : harping on you for running shayne 's life . josh : running or ruining ? reva : joshua , i was n't attacking . josh : i do n't know why i said that . i 'm sorry . i apologize . reva : i guess we really do have a long way to go . josh : yeah . and we ca n't make this about us . there 's too much at stake . reva : i 'll say . josh : so what are your concerns about the workout ? reva : i really do n't think this is the place to get into it . josh : you 're back - pedaling . reva : yeah . yeah , i am until i have something more constructive to talk to you about . otherwise , it 's just going to sound like i 'm laying my fears out on you and ... just promise me that you wo n't work him so hard that he hurts himself . josh : of course i wo n't . reva : because we do n't know enough yet about his condition or his recovery . josh : you know , reva , i wish you would just tell me what 's really wrong . reva : i will . soon . cassie : this is the most relaxed i have felt in weeks . jeffrey : see ? it 's working already . cassie : yeah , or it 's because i 'm laying down . what he 's doing now ? jeffrey : he 's checking your pulses . cassie : i do n't understand why i have all this stuff stuck in my hands if it 's my head that hurts . jeffrey : mrs. winslow , this is ancient medicine , okay ? do n't try to figure it all it in one session . cassie : okay , okay . i know about acupuncture . just because i have n't had a treatment does n't mean anything . jeffrey : okay . i 'm sure you know all about it , mrs. winslow , i 'm just saying do n't let your fears and you suspicions getting in the way , that 's all . cassie : i 'm not suspicious . i 'm not afraid , i 'm not suspicious . i knew this guy was n't a quack when he started working on me . dr. yuan : that 's a relief . cassie : you speak english ? dr. yuan : did i forget to mention that ? cassie : yeah . you both did . jeffrey : i never said he could n't speak english . i said i would translate for him because he prefers to speak in his native language . cassie : okay , whatever . whatever . look , i 'm sorry . i am so sorry . when i said quack ' , i just meant when you 're trying something new usually those people are quacks . i did n't mean it like that . dr. yuan : it 's not new . this medicine is 3,000 years old . ( speaking chinese ) cassie : he 's offended , is n't he ? i 've offended him . jeffrey : no , he 's not offended . he wants to know how 's your headache . cassie : i do n't have a headache . it 's gone . it 's gone . dr. yuan : relax . relax . i 'll be right back to take out the needles in a few minutes . cassie : thank you . dr. yuan : you 're welcome . cassie : he is amazing . i mean , he is just amazing . completely pain free . jeffrey : imagine that . cassie : okay . so it can work on a headache . fine . i do n't know . i just do n't see this as being the alternative for shayne . i just do n't . jeffrey : doctor , i know you do n't have shayne 's case history or anything like that yet , but do you think there 's any possibility you could be of help ? dr. yuan : ( speaking chinese ) . cassie : what did he say ? jeffrey : why do n't you tell him about shayne ? cassie : my ... my nephew , he 's almost completely paralyzed . and he had this promising baseball career . it 's just ... he 's very strong . he 's a strong young man , and just to see him like this , it 's just ... i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry . jeffrey : no , i 'm sorry . it 's all right . dr. yuan : i understand . ( speaking chinese ) jeffrey : he says it 's possible that acupuncture could help shayne . it 's all about stimulating the nerves , getting the body to respond . cassie : well , that 's what josh is doing , but the regimen 's way too hard for him . jeffrey : well , this is n't invasive , okay , and it 's not going to wear shayne down like that . cassie : i just wish i knew more , you know , so i could tell reva about this . dr. yuan : i can give you some literature to take with you . cassie : that would be great . dr. yuan : ( speaks chinese ) cassie : what 'd he say ? jeffrey : he said he 'll be right back with the literature . cassie : it sounded like a lot more than that . jeffrey : that 's ... that 's all . so are you ... are you okay with this ? cassie : yeah . i am . but i do n't know about josh and reva . jeffrey : mrs. winslow , they 've tried everything else . what have they got to lose ? cassie : hope . i mean , that 's the only thing that 's been keeping them going . you know , i ca n't see them go through any more disappointment . what if shayne does this acupuncture and it does the opposite and makes things worse , right ? what ? and my sister , i just ca n't risk bringing her more pain . i ca n't . edmund : the thing with richard was he did n't need a royal title . sandy : because he had it . edmund : no . no . royalty just fit him . he was n't vengeful or bitter , i was vengeful and bitter . his only concern was serving his country . you know , you have the blood of a remarkable man in you . sandy : well , it 's hard to inherit personality from someone you never met . i 'm not my father . i 've heard how people talk about him . edmund : you never know who you are until you want something so badly you 're willing to give up your anger over not getting it . reva : not getting what ? sandy : reva . reva : hi . sandy : join us . edmund : i was just telling your son about a bit of the family history . sandy : yeah , edmund and i are trying to figure out if my father and i have any similarities . slim pickings right now . edmund : well , i think there might be more than you 're willing to share . reva , let me get you a cup of coffee . reva : i 'd love that . but actually i 'm looking for jeffrey o'neill . has anyone seen him ? edmund and sandy : fortunately , no . edmund : look , there 's something we agree on . carrie : so no more grumbling and grousing that i never tell you anything . marah : you ca n't just leave us like this . marina : yeah , there 's just so much we still do n't understand . carrie : well , it 's a very complicated issue . think about it . i 'm sure you 'll be able to make the connections . michelle : okay . but what you said before about maryanne getting mixed up with the wrong crowd . were you referring to our fathers and marina 's grandfather ? carrie : connect the dots . michelle : we 're trying . we 're trying . but they wo n't ... they 're just totally reluctant to even admit they even knew maryanne . we need to know why . carrie : because of what they carry in their hearts . marah : what ? carrie : memories . memories of a terrible night when a young woman got in the wrong car with the wrong people . that was the last those men ever saw of her , the night the car lost control and plunged off the bridge and into the river . michelle : my god . that 's how maryanne died ? marah : what bridge was it ? marina : yeah , what river ? was it near springfield ? carrie : that 's the next chapter . find it . marina : next , on guiding light : rick : is something wrong ? ed : rick , i 've got a favor to ask of you . harley : you want me to hit on brad green ?

i mean shayne 's certainly not responsible for what he does in his therapy . reva : so if shayne worked himself to death , you would just stand by and let him do it ? i 'm sorry . i did n't mean for that to sound as if ... josh : as if i 'm pushing shayne too far . or encouraging him to push himself too far . reva : well , that 's why i did n't want to get into this with you until i had a constructive alternative , instead of , you know , just coming to you with my concerns . josh : okay . well , if you 've come up with some kind of a painless , risk - free path to 100 % recovery , i would like to hear it . reva : ( laughs ) well , i 've talked to doctors and specialists . josh : and ? reva : and they have nothing definitive . that seems to be a favorite expression of theirs ... josh : so it sounds like shayne 's stuck with the same therapy and with the same coach . so far , anyway . cassie : no , not necessarily . there is definitely another way for shayne to go . acupuncture . reva : acupuncture ? cassie : yes , this could be the answer you guys are looking for . josh : cassie , just out of curiosity , what do you know about acupuncture ? cassie : well , a heck of a lot more than i knew 24 hours ago . do you remember that headache i had yesterday ? reva : well , you 're not saying that ... cassie : gone . i mean completely gone . a couple of needles here , a couple of needles there , and the pain is gone . josh : and you think that might work for shayne . cassie : i 'm not the only one . i mean , when jeffrey took me to the doctor ... reva : o'neill ? jeffrey o'neill ? cassie : yeah , look , he 's not my favorite person , all right ? but when he saw how upset you were and he heard that you were looking for a safer way for shayne 's recovery , he whisked me away to this doctor . reva : and he cured your headache . cassie : yes , and explained to me how acupuncture stimulates the body 's energy , and how it helps it balance its systems , meaning it can increase blood flow to the areas that it needs . josh : like the spine ? cassie : well , yeah . i mean , shayne was diagnosed with spinal shock . so his muscles and his nerves have to figure out what they 're supposed to do all over again , and acupuncture can play a part in that . reva : and that 's what this doctor said ? cassie : yes . `` it could be quite helpful . `` that 's a direct quote . well , actually , a direct translation because the guy spoke chinese a lot , and jeffrey had to translate . but you know , whatever . look , i know this is n't a cure - all . but what have you got to lose ? reva : what do you think ? josh : you know , i actually do n't have to be sold on acupuncture . billy tried acupuncture a few years back to ... you know , for his bum knee . reva : what ? josh : yeah , he was laid out on a ... on a big table , naked , needles sticking out of him ... reva : ( laughs ) i would love to have seen that . josh : no , you did not want to see that . it was not pretty . but the fact is , he claims that it helped him to walk again . and that 's of course essentially what we 're talking about with shayne . but ... cassie : but what ? what do you have to be sold on ? josh : i guess this idea that what i 'm doing with shayne is hurting him more than it 's helping him . rick : dr ... lauer ... bauer ! bauer , golly . so how are you doing , dad ? we 're working such different schedules these days ; i hardly ever see you anymore except at the house . not even at the house . i do n't see you at the house . ed : i 'm there . rick : well , you know what 'd be good , is if we all get together and have a nice dinner ; just the four of us : you , me , danny , michelle , and ... ed : we 'll see . that might be kind of hard to arrange . rick : i 'll do all the grunt work . i 'll make all the calls and see what works with everybody 's schedule and ... ed : let 's just play it by ear , okay ? rick : is something wrong ? ed : rick , i got a favor to ask of you . rick : sure , dad , what is it ? ed : do you think you could get your contacts to run a test on this envelope ? rick : test for ... for what ? ed : fingerprints . rick : oh , well , yeah . the medical examiner 's office makes forensic requests all the time . i 'll just pass it through the right channels ... ed : no , no channels . rick : it 's standard operating procedure . ed : this ca n't be done by the book . it 's got to be done quietly and it 's got to ... it 's got to be done fast . alan : well , are you ready to dig in ? gus : yeah ... what is that ? are we going to the country club ? alan : well , it 's casual friday . gus : spaulding has a casual friday ? alan : well , it 's our first time . i thought it was a good idea . they wanted you to feel comfortable on your first day . gus : how is that supposed to make me feel more comfortable ? now i 'm the only person in this building that 's dressed like this . is that ... ( sighs ) alan : ( chuckles ) well , i 'm sorry . gus : no , it 's all right . it 's ... very nice gesture on your part . because here i thought i was at spaulding trying to make you feel more comfortable . never mind , it 's cool . alan : well , i do n't see why it could n't work for both of us . gus : right , right . you want to just ... you want to show me the joint ? alan : yeah , i think there 's time for that , after the meeting . gus : what meeting ... meeting whom ... who ? alan : well , department heads , project managers , senior personnel . they 'll all be there . it 's a good idea that you meet them all . gus : okay . alan : the one that wo n't be there you already know : brad green . he 's taking some personal time off . gus : oh , really ? on my first day . is n't that interesting ? alan : well , now , i would n't read anything into that . gus : no , no , of course not . alan : well , come on . i 'll give you the grand tour . gus : all right . olivia : ... what i want to see the quarterly profit statements broken down by division ; also the projections for the next six months . alan : well ... olivia : hi . hello . alan : olivia , what are you doing here ? olivia : i 'm here to help . alan : help ? well , define that . olivia : well , phillip is sidelined , and i thought the company could use someone to take up the slack . someone like me . harley : o'neill ? jeffrey o'neill ? you told me to meet you here , and i 'm here . great . o'neill ? jeffrey : i 'm here , too . harley : could we lose the film noir lighting effects , please ? and do n't sneak up on me . jeffrey : any other requests ? harley : yes , actually . if we are going to be partners ... jeffrey : oh , `` if `` ? you told me on the phone that you were in . harley : i am in , but i ... jeffrey : whoa , let 's get one thing straight , okay ? we 're not partners . you work for me . harley : fine . well , let 's get something else straight . jeffrey : okay . harley : the only reason i 'm saying yes to this is because i have a stake in the outcome . jeffrey : well , that 's the only reason anyone says yes to anything , is n't it ? harley : i just feel like if there is something dangerous going on at spaulding , i feel like i should protect phillip . jeffrey : i suppose you feel the same way about gus now that he 's working there , too . was it exciting , his first day at work ? do n't you find it interesting that one spaulding son goes down , and alan finds another one to plug right in ? harley : no , no , no , no , no . gus was not plugged into anything . he 's just ... he just feels a loyalty to alan and to phillip . you know , he 's just helping them out . he knows what he 's doing , okay ? jeffrey : does he ? i hope you feel that way when this is all over . harley : well , let 's talk about this . jeffrey : okay . harley : okay ? i want to know exactly what this is . and it 's not because i 'm hot to catch some bad guys . jeffrey : no ? harley : no , because if that were the case , i 'd still have my badge . i want to make sure that the people i care about are covered in case something nasty goes down . jeffrey : which it might . harley : exactly . so would you mind clueing me in about how i 'm supposed to protect gus and phillip ? jeffrey : if you would listen , i told you already . it starts with brad green . harley : right . jeffrey : hm - hmm . harley : get close to him . stay close to him . jeffrey : hm - hmm , yes . harley : you got a plan ? jeffrey : yeah , i do . the plan is , you do exactly what i tell you to do . rick : can i get right back to you on that ? good . are you going to be there the rest of the day ? okay , i 'll get right back to you . dad , i 'm sorry , it was work . i 'm ... i 'm just a little confused . why all the secrecy with this ? ed : no , it 's not a question of secrecy . i just ... i 'd like it to be low key . rick : i see . so whose fingerprints do you think might be on here ? ed : well , i 'm hoping that 's what you 'll be able to find out . and look , i can tell you right now that the only person that this information is going to matter to is me . i can give you my word on that . rick : well , then i do n't understand why all the secrecy . ed : it 's not secrecy . i mean ... this is n't official business , is it ? so i just thought that maybe we could do it ... rick : all right ... ed : ... unofficially . rick : i 'm just curious . ed : i 'm asking my son a favor . and if you do n't want to do it , fine , just ... rick , the reason i brought this to you was because i thought that you would do this for me . rick : i will , dad , if it 's that important to you . ed : just get it fast . cassie : i 'm not suggesting that you 're doing a bad job with shayne 's therapy , i 'm not . josh : no , it 's just that better , safer alternative we 've all been hoping for , right ? reva : acupuncture may be exactly what we 're looking for , cassie . but i think josh and i need to talk about it alone . cassie : i 'm not going anywhere if you guys are going to fight . reva : well , you better order yourself a cup of coffee then . reva : well , i mean , seriously , would you rather i hid my feelings ? josh : in this case , i 'd rather you were n't having them in the first place . reva : i ca n't believe we 're doing this again : you know , staking our claims to what is and what is n't right for shayne , when he is there , not able to walk . josh : but he 's going to walk again . you must believe that yourself , right ? reva : i 'm worried that he ... both of you want it too much for his own good . josh : i agree with 50 % of that statement , reva . but the fact is that the physical therapy that shayne is involved in right now is not dangerous itself . the way ian laid it out , it 's a logical progression of exercises . reva : if forced or pushed to extent could cause serious , if not permanent , damage . josh : do n't you think i know that ? do n't you think i think about that every single time i 'm there with him and working with him in that gym ? reva , this is not the same thing that we were going through before when i was pushing shayne into pro ball instead of college . reva : well , then why does it feel so familiar ? josh : because we lost trust for each other , and we have n't gotten it back yet . cassie : i should go . reva : no , no ... josh : no . reva : you should stay , because you 're going to hear all about this anyway . josh : look , look , look . you saw yourself , right ? shayne was there . he was pushing himself too hard . remy and i were trying to get him to stop . he ended up trying to hold his entire weight on the parallel bars ... reva : right , which he 's definitely not ready for . josh : and we told him that . cassie : well , he has to know that there is a big risk if he pushes himself too hard . josh : yeah , he knows that intellectually , but emotionally he just wants to walk again , for marina and for us . reva : meanwhile , shayne 's getting stronger all the time , which increases his chances of hurting himself . josh : you want to know what really scares the hell out of me ? the possibility that he 's going to try and do something when he 's on his own , like maybe in the evening when there 's nobody around there to watch him . that 's why i want to work him hard when he 's at the gym , when we can monitor him -- the idea being that maybe he 'll be too tired to try something like that at night . do you think that it 's possible acupuncture could help him with something like that ? reva : i mean , if nothing else , acupuncture may calm him down . but it 's something we 'd have to research . and i think we should do it together . josh : together ? we have not had a lot of success doing things together lately . do you believe that we can set aside months ' worth of mistrust and judgment just like that ? reva : well , are you willing to take a chance with me ? again ? alan : you can go . olivia : would you call me with that information ? alan : information ? why do n't you tell me exactly how you 're planning on helping spaulding ? olivia : any way i can , alan . alan : well , but we 're fine . olivia : oh , come on . phillip was working 20 hours a day running this operation . he 's gone . you want to say that has n't had an effect on the company ? alan : well , nothing more than just a certain amount of confusion , that 's all . olivia : well , then , why do n't you let me help get things back to normal ? i 'm in the perfect position to do it . it 's not like i 'm locked into some rigid job . you could put me to use wherever you think you need me the most . alan : gus , this is what 's known as a pitch . gus : yeah , i get that . olivia : and you should really take advantage of this and put me to work . alan : well , i 'm not sure about that . olivia : oh . you still do n't trust me . alan : no , that 's not it at all . i just think that you and phillip need a little more time to heal . olivia : you would be a fool not to take me up on this offer . alan : well , i can assure you that we have everything under control . olivia : oh , oh . oh , he ... he got you to shore up the spaulding house . alan : yes , i want you to meet spaulding enterprises ' newest vice president . olivia : and a vice president . my gosh , congratulations . gus : well , it 's ... olivia : i 'm surprised the police force could spare you . gus : it 's not permanent , so ... olivia : really ? well , i know . nothing ever is . alan : olivia , i will be in touch if there 's anything i need from you . and i can assure you that phillip 's interests will be best served with gus . olivia : look , alan , i 'm in better shape than you think , okay ? besides , business for me is what heals . alan : well , then why do n't you check on things at the beacon ? now , i will keep you posted on how phillip 's condition goes . do n't you worry . now , where were we ? gus : we were right around the part where you 're going to explain to me how my being here insures phillip 's interests at spaulding . alan : gus , do n't play coy with me . i know phillip and i know what he worries about . and i know that he probably spoke to you about being here in his absence , and also making sure that i do n't dismantle everything that he 's put together . gus : you 're very good . alan : yes , i am . now , you 've got a company to learn about . harley : this stuff does n't help me at all . i know most of this from the case i just wrapped up on green and his wife . and let me share something else with you while we 're on the subject . it 's been my experience that when gathering information , it 's best to do it undercover rather than the chummy thing . jeffrey : really ? harley : yeah . i do n't see what would compel brad green to share something weighty with a friend , even a good friend . jeffrey : of course , that circumstance would change if it were a special friend , would n't it ? harley : excuse me ? jeffrey : well , it 's just , you know ... it 's been my experience that men tend to open up and open up more willingly when they have a certain connection with the woman that they 're with . harley : are we talking about a sexual connection ? jeffrey : we may be , yeah . harley : no , you may be . jeffrey : all right , just hang on , all right ? listen , just listen to me , please . imagine if ... i do n't know , imagine if you were a house painter , all right ? and you wanted to attract some clients to your business . i mean , how would you do that ? you would ... you would show them a sample of your work , would n't you ? you 'd show them a photograph or a paint chip or something . if you were a fruit vendor , you would find some clever way of displaying your wares . ( sighs ) look , the point of the matter is this . all right , if you want something from someone -- whether it 's money , a job , or information in this case -- you want to do something to ingratiate yourself to the person ... harley : i 'm sorry , did you say ingratiate or humiliate ? jeffrey : i am sure that you 're going to do a bang - up job ingratiating yourself to brad green . harley : let me get this straight . you want me ... to get this worm to trust me by displaying my wares ? by offering free samples ? and i know you do n't mean paint chips . jeffrey : if it does the trick -- no pun intended -- yes . harley : good , because i 'm not laughing . uh - uh . you want me to hit on brad green ? that 's your big plan ? well , forget it . if that 's the case , you can find yourself another terrier . i thought you recruited me for my brains ... jeffrey : i did , i did ... harley : ... for my experience . jeffrey : listen , if i wanted a hooker , i would have hired one . harley : well , there 's still plenty of time . jeffrey : well , they probably would have given me less trouble than you . the fact of the matter , harley , is that you happen to be the perfect woman for the job . harley : `` woman , `` which i 'm seeing is the key word here . uh - uh . i did n't sign on to be somebody 's special friend . jeffrey : you 're just going to keep reminding me of that over and over and over again , are n't you ? harley : no , honestly , i would n't do that , because i 'm out of here . jeffrey : oh , you 're out of here ? okay , good , yeah , i thought you had gus 's and phillip 's backs . what happened to that ? harley : you know what ? that 's rotten . that 's a ... you 're a jerk to throw that at me ... jeffrey : well , this is a tough job , all right ? this is a tough job , and it requires tough measures . so just think about it , okay ? more specifically , think about brad green . if the idea is to get him to open up , then what 's the best way to do that ? it 's to hit him where he 's weakest : his soft underbelly . harley : oh , now you 're just making me sick . jeffrey : oh , would you just get off of your high horse for one second , would you ? you were a police officer , for god 's sake ... a female police officer for years , okay ? i know that . i know that you had cases where you had to get information , and you did n't do it every time by posing undercover as some brain surgeon or some other gender - neutral , politically correct occupation , did you ? no . i 'll bet ... i 'll bet a lot of money that a lot of times a tight sweater and a short skirt sure came in handy , did n't it ? harley : maybe they did . jeffrey : maybe they did . so why do n't we just try to get our priorities straight here , okay ? and just try to listen to me . harley : okay , fine , i 'm listening . jeffrey : thank you . now , brad green at this very moment is working out at the church gym . and guess what ? what a coincidence , you happen to be a fitness nut yourself . harley : who -- let me guess -- loves to do her stairmaster routine in a skimpy pastel number . jeffrey : i hope you do n't mind i took the liberty , okay ? harley : oh , jeff , you did n't have to pull something out of your own closet . jeffrey : oh , you 're just hysterical . now , listen , harley , seriously , keep it simple with green , okay ? and most importantly , do n't mention spaulding right away , okay ? the guy is sharp . he 'll catch on and you 'll tip him off . harley : how do you suggest i approach him ? jeffrey : i do n't know , with concern . you know , you did n't want to leave him twisting in the wind after you solved the lori jenson case . and being the kind , caring , hands - on detective that everyone knows you to be , you wanted to check up on him , you know , make sure that he was doing okay , and that 's not a lie . harley : a mic ? what a coincidence . gus : to me , this looks like an organizational chart of a crime family , complete with fronts and tax shelters and corporate shells . you see what i 'm saying ? alan : yes , but with one major difference . everything here is perfectly legal . and that , gus , is why we have all of those lawyers . gus : gotcha . i 'm not saying that you 're like a ... you know , a mob boss . i 'm not implying that . alan : well , i 've been likened to one on occasion . and if the truth be known , there are several ceos in this country who are criminals . but you see , spaulding enterprises is a family - run business , and we pride ourselves on playing by the rules . gus : right . you 've never bent a rule in your life , right , big al ? alan : ah , but that 's what rules are for . you know , why do n't we just put off that meet - and - greet meeting , huh ? gus : that 's all right , i do n't mind . alan : no , no , i think it would be best if you did n't feel rushed into this . you can kind of come to it in your own time . because i think that in time , you 're really going to like this place . gus : we 'll see about that . ow ! harley : brad green . i was just thinking about you , and here you are . brad : ( laughs ) kismet . harley : ( laughs ) well , i 've been meaning to get in touch with you , find out how you 're doing . you know , not too badly from the looks of it . brad : you work out ? harley : oh , yeah . i 'm addicted to it . especially those . do n't you just love the burn ? ( laughs ) brad : it 's a good way to release frustrations . harley : yeah . well , your whole life 's been turned upside down . i mean , that lori jenson thing , boy . brad : you know , as i recall , you thought that i was a murderer , did n't you ? harley : well , that was until we went on our little car ride around town together . before the flat , of course . no , you made it perfectly clear that you were the victim in this whole thing , not the perp . and i 'm glad we were able to prove that . still ... brad : still what ? harley : well , i know it 's taken its toll on you . and that affects me . why , i feel like we made a connection in the car that night . and how can i just act like i do n't care what 's happened to you just because the job is over ? i mean , you have hurts . you have ... you have needs , you know , just like i do . right ? hey , you want to spot me ? i need to get this workout in . brad : ah , yes , all right . harley : ( laughs ) brad : how much weight do you usually start with ? harley : oh , what you got on there looks good . brad : all right . harley : i 'm ready . brad : good ? here we go . harley : yeah . brad : good ? harley : got it . brad : you know , perhaps this is lucky . harley : how 's that ? brad : me running into you like this . boy , i remember when i came into your office that night , i was a nervous wreck . but just getting into your car , you made it so much easier for me . you were so easy to talk to . you put my mind at rest . it 's been ... it 's been awful lately . harley : i 'm sure . brad : i mean my wife could go to prison for what happened . prison . i ... i never wanted that . harley : it must be a nightmare . brad : you have no idea . harley : well , i know this is n't a car , but if you felt like talking some more ... brad : you know , i 'm not sure that i am the victim here . look , my affair with lori was just one humiliation too much for marie . it made her have to deal with her anger in such a way that she lashed out at me with blackmail . her entire thinking was clouded with rage , which really makes it my fault . harley : you think ? brad : but that smug ferret of a district attorney just ca n't wait to prosecute her . harley : well , that sure sounds like jeffrey o'neill . you know , brad , your wife did break the law . brad : oh , come on . what 's the crime here ? no one 's dead . i paid back the money i borrowed from spaulding almost immediately . so my wife tried to milk me . so what ? you know , if we got a divorce , she 'll do it again , only this time she 'll retain the services of an attorney and they 'll call it alimony . i want that da to back off . harley : hey , you do n't have to tell me . this is why i left the force in the first place , because it 's so rigid . i mean , they never take into consideration that there are all these different situations , and they all require their own unique solution . brad : you know , you know , the first rule of business is that you have to be flexible . no flexibility ? you 're not competitive . harley : and then you 're not in business anymore . brad : you got that right . ( laughter ) brad : you want to go another round ? harley : sure , if you 'll spot me . ( laughs ) brad : thank you for listening . harley : well , i 'm glad i could help . jeffrey : okay , so far , so good . now just reel him in nice , and slow . reva : thanks for the tip on dr. yuan . cassie : hey , as much as i 've built him up , he better help you , right ? ( laughs ) reva : well , do n't worry about that . i mean , i think josh and i can take it from here . cassie : i think josh already is . reva : yeah , well , you know , this will be good . he 'll come for dinner tonight . we 'll discuss our options . cassie : on all fronts ? reva : well , i do n't know . i mean , this is a start , right ? cassie : with you two , that 's all you need . reva : see you . thanks again . cassie : yeah . josh : okay , thank you . i appreciate you ... good - bye , cassie . i appreciate you letting me pick your brain . ed : acupuncture 's been around for thousands of years . there 's got to be something to it . josh : look , i 'd like to be able to call you if that 's all right , once i figure out what this doctor has in mind for shayne . ed : yeah , fine , fine . josh : okay . has billy been calling you ? ed : billy calls me almost every day to make sure that we stick together . josh : he 's been calling me , too . reva , are you okay ? reva : i just had an image . josh : of what ? reva : death . josh : you had an image of death ? reva : or a death . i ca n't really tell . it came and went so quickly . josh : what do you suppose that might mean ? reva : i do n't know . it was just weird . it was when you were walking toward me . josh : maybe it had something to do with ed . you know , he 's a doctor . reva : ed bauer ? josh : yeah , he 's around patients and hospitals and illness and death . reva : maybe . josh : what other possible explanation could there be ? reva : i do n't know , really . it was just weird . josh : okay . well , you 've said yourself that many times these images do n't have any meaning . reva : yeah . this one was just strange because it hit so hard . okay , i 'm back . so about tonight . josh : tonight ? reva : dinner . we were going to meet . i was going to cook you ... josh : i ... i ... reva : ... venison ... josh : i ca n't do that tonight . reva : ten minutes ago you said you were free ... josh : yeah , i know ... reva : are you okay ? josh : i 'm not free . i just remembered i have something important that i have to do . excuse me . reva : well , acupuncture research is important , too . josh : yeah , i know that . i just ca n't talk to you about it tonight . at least , not in person . if you 'd like , i can call you . how would that be ? reva : sounds like i do n't have a choice . josh : sorry . gus : regal royale . dreeson limited . `` see the central group projections file . `` right . central group projections file . central group ... projections ... file . central group projections file . central group projections file . harley : ( laughs ) feels good . brad : it 's a good burn , huh ? harley : yeah . nothing like it . brad : you really push yourself . harley : well , you know what they say : no pain , no gain . i 'm sure you hear that in business . brad : all the time .

nurse kimberly : see you back here later this evening , mr. lewis ? billy : okay . lizzie : call him . he 's your son ! you need to call him . billy : i took my first drink when i was 14 . jimmy dalton snuck a bottle of his father 's bourbon into the church picnic , and i took a big swig because i wanted to impress reva and all the other girls . and it was all i could do to keep from spitting it back out . it was like fire going all the way down my throat . and then , you wake up one morning , and all you can think about is that fire and how much you want it and how much you need it . it 's not just the alcohol that gets you hooked . they talk about blood levels and alcohol content -- that 's all just chemistry . it 's life that gets you hooked , that switch that goes off in your head . and you 're completely okay . you do n't care about anything until you start hurting people- strangers , friends , family , yourself . but even then , you ... you do n't stop drinking . see , that 's the little dirty secret that all drunks know . you found the love of your life in a bottle . once you realize you 're okay with hurting people , you make choices . if your old friends look at you with sympathy or disappointment , you make new friends -- ones that do n't judge , ones who are just as lost as you are . after a while , you forget who you used to be because you 're reborn , a whole new man , untouchable . regrets ? you have them . they ... they 're like ... they 're like ghosts ; they haunt you . like a ... like a scar that you thought had healed . and sometimes you ... you 're tempted to reach out for someone or somebody that you knew from the past , but you do n't because you know that you 're too busy keeping your own head above water to try to save anybody else . they just might bring you down . like everything else , freedom is n't forever . sooner or later , you 're nailed again . lizzie : is that really necessary ? billy : it starts all over , facing the judge , admitting you 're weak , waiting for the axe to fall . but the judge , he 's no fool . he 's not burdened by love . he 's got the law on his side , and the law says you 're going away . you go to jail or you go to rehab . and just when you think you 've sunk as far as you can go ... you realize you can always sink even lower . you made your choice . you 're on your own . and when you go down , you go down hard .

( laughter ) you love me , do n't you ? nurse kimberly : this time stay in rehab . i do n't want them wheeling you in here again . billy : okay . see , she 's crazy about me ! lizzie : i know ! and when you clean your act up , you can put the moves on her . billy : i think she likes me just the way i am . how about you , officer bennett ? what do you think ? bennett : i think you 're lucky you 're not going to prison . billy : oh , boy , this is a regular old `` picking on billy lewis `` day ! lizzie : no ! this is `` wake up before it 's too late , billy `` day . billy : hey , you know ... i mean , i know i need ... i went all the way down to that rehab and i looked at it . lizzie : oh , no ! ( gasps mockingly ) you 're cured ! i 'm sure that was enough ! billy : okay , okay . enough with the sarcasm . lizzie : i do n't want you to go to prison or end up dead on the highway , okay ? i want you to get better , billy . you can not do that on your own . this is your last chance . i need you , and so does lewis construction , and so does the rest of your family . billy : well , there 's one person in my family that does n't . [ scene_break ] bill : officer bennett . bennett : thanks for the tip , mr. lewis . i know it must have been tough . bill : yeah . well , my dad needs help , okay ? not that guy . bennett : say no more . i 'll take care of it . okay . let 's go . reporter : ever hear of the fourth amendment ? i have a right to be here . billy lewis driving drunk , that 's news . billy : what are you doing here ? bill : where 's lizzie ? billy : she 's getting my release . i 've got to be tip - top shape before they can lock me up . bill : all right . come on . i 'm getting you out of here . billy : what are you doing ? bill : look , there 's a photographer waiting to snap shots of you , all right ? now , is that what you want ? billy : oh , that 's perfect for you . that means , what , a feather in your hat ? you 'd be the hit with lewis construction . bill : enough . you want to be humiliated , then you can stay here , or you can come with me . billy : what 's the catch ? bill : dad , there is no catch . my car is in back . now , why do n't you come with me . billy : you 're taking me right out of the frying pan , putting me in the fire , right ? bill : you know what ? if you want to stay here , that 's fine with me . billy : no , no , no . no , no , wait , wait , wait . there 's a door over here . it 's unlocked . come on . bill : all right . billy : so , now that you 've got me here , what is the plan ? bill : well , there is no plan . billy : oh , okay !

[ scene_break ] bill : uh ... you 're making a huge mistake if you 're going to take alan spaulding 's word on anything . frank : well , point well taken . i do have a question for you , though . let 's go back to when you discovered the two ransom notes . bill : yeah , ask me anything you want , frank . frank : you were the most reluctant to go to the police . bill : i mean , i think we all were . the second ransom note said not to involve the cops , so ... frank : okay , maybe , but beth spaulding -- her statement -- said you were the most resistant . that even your own father wanted you to go to the springfield police department . and ... that you locked alan spaulding in his own room to keep him from defying you ? bill : now , that 's not true . frank : well , that 's what beth says . as a matter of fact , she found him in the room and she found you with the key . bill : well ... so ? are you going to take her word over mine ? frank : why would she lie about something like that ? bill : i do n't know . frank : let 's talk about the money drop . bill : fine . frank : you fought with the kidnapper . bill : yeah , look , i brought the money , okay ? the kidnapper was this close to having the money , but then mallet -- who was there -- his phone rang , and the kidnapper took off . frank : left without the cash . he was this close to getting the duffel bag and just let it go ? bill : well , yeah , that 's right . frank : okay . you got into two fights with the kidnapper -- two fights that nobody saw ... bill : well , no , but lizzie heard the second fight . frank : okay . well , that ... that brings me to my next question , here . you found the factory by tracking a leaking van . now , bill , how did you ever do that ? bill : you know how , frank . i followed the leak . frank : what route did you take ? bill : 101 . look , i admit , i was drinking earlier that day . i was n't thinking clearly , and i just followed the tracks , okay ? frank : how long did it take you to get there ? bill : how ... uh , i do n't know . about ... 15 minutes , 20 minutes ? frank : okay , well , you know , it 's a funny thing , bill , because you see , the day that you rescued lizzie route 101 was closed because of a bad accident . bill : frank ... like i said , i was drinking a little bit so i 'm not that positive , but look , i was on foot anyway . frank : okay , well , you see , i had a lot of man on the field , so they would have seen you -- or you certainly would have seen them and asked them for help . you know what , bill ? i do n't think you were on route 101 . as a matter of fact , i do n't even think ... not only were n't you at route 101 , but you were at the factory the entire time . bill : that is so untrue ! look , my father ... he saw me ... frank : an hour ... bill : ... in the woods . frank : ... before you got to lizzie . an hour . you could have easily jumped in your car , taken route six and gotten to her . bill : are you trying to trick me , frank ? mel : okay , that 's enough . bill , do n't say another word . my client is n't speaking without an attorney present . frank : well , you know what , mel ? sorry , but your client waived that right . and now he 's made a solid case for us . mel : this is unacceptable . frank : bill 's story does n't add up . he looks guiltier than ever . lizzie : you decided to come here anyway ? even after we decided you should wait ? bill : well , i could n't wait . i did n't want you to fight this alone . lizzie : look , i would fight this forever , if that 's what it took . mel : i 'm filing motions to suppress this . frank : on what grounds ? he 's here voluntarily . lizzie : he just woke up from a coma ! he 's only been out of the hospital for a couple of days . he 's in no shape to be talking to the cops ! frank : lizzie , i did n't convince him to talk . lizzie : no , but you did n't stop him , either , did you ? you exploited him . bill : lizzie ... lizzie : no . i am so sick of everyone just assuming that you 're guilty . when this is over and bill 's name has been cleared , i 'll have your badge . let 's go .

marah : do you want to quit ? you just want to forget about the whole thing ? michelle : do you ? marah : yes and no . i hate to think that my father is lying to me about anything , but if he is ... michelle : but maybe he had good reason . marah : yeah . and on the other hand , if carrie is telling us the truth and some young woman died in this town and nobody seems to remember to care , i think that 's awful . i would n't want that to happen to me or anybody that i loved . michelle : yeah . me , either . all right , you fire up the computer , i 'm going to get us something to eat from the kitchen , and then we are going to find out when and how this maryanne caruthers disappeared . marah : deal . bill : okay , guys , come on , these slogans are garbage . we 've got to come up with something better , all right ? danny : something that tells it like it is . tony : `` no more cement shoes . `` danny : aha . tony : okay . `` vote for me , it 's an offer that you ca n't refuse `` ? bill : all right , tony . come on , stop it . tony : no , i 'm serious . i 'm serious , bill . i mean , what about the old days ? why ca n't it be like then , when we could buy an election ? you know what i mean ? bill : do me a favor , never say that in public , okay ? danny : wait , wait , wait , wait , wait , bill . hold on , maybe tony 's on to something . i mean , with all these ideas , we 've been trying to downplay my past , right ? we ca n't do that , so what if , instead of ignoring it , we address it ? tony : yeah . bill : well , what do you mean ? how ? danny : i do n't know , i do n't know . um ... what about something like , `` danny santos -- no excuses , `` right ? that says that i definitely have a past , but i 'm not trying to shirk it . what do you think ? tony : yeah . uh , well , i 'm not sure . maybe you can end it with , `` no way , `` you know ? bill : no , wait , wait , wait , wait . danny , danny , danny , i think you 're on the right track . except you 're just not saying enough . `` danny santos -- no excuses . `` i mean , you 've got the past and the present implied , but what about the future ? danny : right . the future is definitely where the focus should be . bill : right , right . all right , how about this ? how about , `` danny santos -- no excuses , move on . `` something along those lines . danny : no , i like it . i like it . eden : whoa , it looks like a tornado came through here . do n't just stand there . help me clean up . danny : why ? bill : um ... eden : and you , you comb your hair and put on a tie . bill : honey , we 're in the middle of something . we 'll do that later , okay ? eden : no , that is not okay . do the names daggert and hodge ring a bell for any of you ? bill : what , jim hodge , george daggert ? yeah , they 're the two biggest political poo - bahs in this town . tony : what ? bill : king - makers . danny : yeah , if daggert and hodge put their weight behind a candidate in springfield , he 's almost guaranteed to win . what about them ? eden : they 're going to be here in ten minutes , so let 's go . harley : what if it turned out that , you know , while you were at spaulding , that things maybe were n't as they should be ? alan : gus , what ... what are you doing with that file ? brad : i know what you 're up to . harley : um , trying to rack this weight if you would let me . brad : you did n't just happen to show up here today . you planned this little meeting , and i know why . jeffrey : just stay cool , cooper . harley : i did n't plan anything . i do n't know what you 're talking about . jeffrey : stay very cool . brad : someone has put you up to this . harley : i 'm just here to pump iron , brad . brad : you 're here to pump me for information . harley : look , if you would just let go of the bar , i could explain to you what ... brad : let go ? are you sure ? harley : um , okay , look , i do n't know what 's going on here . i thought we were supposed to be friends . i mean , who cleared your name ? who cleared you of a potential murder rap , and you sit here accusing me of i do n't even know what ? brad : all right . i 'm not saying it was your idea , but you are a part of it . harley : a part of what ? brad : somebody is out to get me , and i think we both know who that is . harley : somebody is out to get you ? who ? brad : oh , who do you think ? your boyfriend -- aitoro . harley : gus ? brad : you 're doing his dirty work , and he 's doing dear old dad 's . harley : alan ? brad : `` how 's work , brad ? `` `` it must be very stressful , brad . `` alan does n't think i can cut it anymore , does he ? of all the ungrateful ... i busted my hump for him in paris , 16-hour days , seven days a week . i come here to springfield and get embroiled in this lori mess . harley : brad ? brad , could you ... ? brad : my marriage falls apart . my wife decides to blackmail me . but did i miss a single conference call , a single meeting ? no . harley : could you just ... brad : and finally , finally , i decide to take an hour off to come here to the gym so i wo n't have a heart attack , for god 's sakes , so i 'll have the energy to work even harder , and alan is questioning my loyalty , my ability to get the job done ? harley : what is this ? you think that i 'm doing alan 's bidding ? please ! after the way he treated me when i was married to phillip ? look , you ask anybody . i would n't work for alan spaulding if i was starving . now , would you get this off of me ? ! brad : oh , all right . harley : ( sighs ) thank you . brad : sorry . harley : wow ! i know better than to bring up work to you . look , i know ... i know what you 're up against here , okay ? i know everything with marie and now alan is obviously pressuring you at the office . you 're a little tense . brad : yeah . just a little . harley : was that a smile ? brad : i have n't been doing much of that lately , have i ? harley : well ... you 're an okay guy , brad . more than okay . really . brad : for a serial adulterer ? harley : hey , you 've admitted your mistakes and you 're trying to rectify them , right ? you 've forgiven your wife , and i 'm not sure i agree with that 100 % . you 're giving 200 % at work , right ? talk about commitment . talk about loyalty . i mean , my gosh , if alan spaulding does n't appreciate you as somebody valuable on his team , i think that man is a fool . gus : it 's yours . i just ... i was looking for something else , and i came across it . i did n't open it . alan : mm - hmm . why not ? gus : well , because it says `` a. spaulding eyes only . `` i mean , it 's confidential , so . alan : well , so it has . you know , gus , i did n't bring you into this company to keep things from you . i 've told all of my employees that you are to have access to all information , carte blanche . gus : carte blanche , eh ? alan : yes . gus : well , how will all the other little executives feel about that , then ? alan : i really do n't care , because the name of this company is spaulding . and you are a spaulding . so , you can read all the files to your heart 's content . alexandra : well , is n't this just swell ? gus : well , hello , auntie . alexandra : well , i see alan 's managed to weave you into our nasty little web . gus : hmm . believe me , i tried to resist , but he gave me the key to the executive washroom . i mean ... alexandra : ah ! that did it , huh ? gus : yes . that and the idea of working with you , my favorite auntie . i 'm going down to the pharmaceutical division . you need me , you just buzz me , okay ? i 'm going to bone up on all the information . alexandra : gus ? my file , please . danny : how 'd you get daggert and hodge to agree to a meeting ? bill : yeah , i 've been trying to set up something with them for days . eden : i know . you told me at breakfast , remember ? so , imagine my surprise when i went into eichorn 's pharmacy this morning to see how bad girl was doing . mr. eichorn was more than happy to tell me about the sales figures and how local prominent ladies are buying it , including nancy daggert and leona hodge . so , of course , i just had to call nan and lee and introduce myself and offer them complimentary beauty consultation and freebie baskets of bad girl samples . bill : is this woman incredible or what , hmm ? eden : and then i just had to mention my sweetheart of a boyfriend is danny santos ' campaign manager and how wonderful danny would be as mayor and how great it would be for nan and lee 's hubbies , george and jimmy , to meet him at some point . and the rest is history . danny : that must be some perfume . bill : yeah . that is good work , darling . eden : i know . ( knock on door ) danny : okay , that must be them . is everybody ready ? tony : yeah , go ahead . bill : we 're good . we 're clean . eden : wait , wait , wait . here , got it . bill : go get them . danny : ross . ross : hi . danny : hi . ross : we are a few minutes early . i hope that wo n't be a problem . danny : `` we `` ? ross : yes . i would like you to meet mr. daggert , mr. hodge . george and jim , this is danny santos . danny : senators . mr. daggert , mr. hodge . hi , pleasure to meet you . come in , please . bill : hey , how are you ? bill lewis , danny 's campaign manager . danny : i was n't told you 'd be joining us , ross . ross : well , george and jim asked me to come along . danny : you three are friends ? ross : yes , we are . i 'm also their attorney . michelle : all right , so we should concentrate on these three bridges here and then eliminate the others . marah : why these three ? michelle : well , they span main roads , and i do n't know , the way carrie described the accident , maryanne 's car seemed to be going really fast when it went off the bridge . marah : which would be difficult to do on a long , winding , narrow back road . michelle : but not impossible . at least it gives us a starting point , right ? carrie : hmm . all this salt and fat , it 's delicious . how do you girls keep your figures ? marah : you think we should put a bell around her neck ? michelle : i thought that you were going to leave us to sleuth on our own . carrie : oh , i 'll be delighted to leave you to your own devices . michelle : uh - uh . no , no , no , no . just tell us if we 're on the right track . carrie : well , you 've already narrowed it down to three bridges . two of them can be quite easily eliminated . marah : they can , why ? carrie : zoom in . look at the photographs . michelle : `` zoom in `` ? i thought you hated technology . carrie : oh , i do . but sometimes the nastiest things are necessary . there . now , look at that first photograph , what do you see ? marah : i see ... i do n't see anything . i see a narrow bridge with two lanes ... michelle : no , no , marah , zoom in more . zoom in more . like ... and focus . see that bronze plaque right there ? focus in on that . there . marah : `` there , `` what ? michelle : `` built in 1990 . `` so this bridge did n't even exist when maryanne died . carrie : exactly . now , look at the photograph of the other bridge . michelle : is there going to be a plaque on that one , too ? marah : does n't matter . does n't matter when this bridge was built . the problem is the concrete abutments on either side of it . michelle : abutments ? marah : sorry . my family 's in construction . sue me . michelle : okay , what about the abutments ? marah : okay , well , look how big and solid they are . there 's no way a car could crash through them . michelle : wow , you 're right . so that leaves us with the third bridge , cutters bridge . carrie : i think you may be exactly right . michelle : so that 's it . okay , what 's next ? carrie : well , how many times have i told you ? you 've simply got to connect the dots . michelle : `` connect the dots . `` i would like to connect her dots . carrie : now , now . temper , temper . marah : okay . okay , every fatal accident has to be reported , right ? i think by law it has to be recorded , so it would be recorded somewhere . michelle : right , with the police . with the police . there has to be an accident record on file . marah : all right , but i 'm sure it 's confidential , and they 're not just going to let some random people come in off the street and go look at their files , right ? michelle : probably not . marah : all right , so how are we going to get around that ? how are we going to be able to see these official police records ? michelle : marina . harley : you know , brad , the way that you have chosen to forgive marie , the way that you 're standing by her , not a lot of men could do that . brad : there are n't a lot of men who would screw up like i did in the first place . believe me , i wronged her far more than she has ever wronged me . if marie forgives me , that 'll be the miracle . harley : is that the goal here ? brad : well , we 're trying to work on the marriage , but it 's not going to do much good if marie ends up in prison , which is exactly what 'll happen if o'neill decides that i have to testify against her . harley : well , i 'm sure your lawyer 's told you this already , but a man can not be forced to testify against his wife in court . brad : o'neill has made it perfectly clear to me that if i do not testify , he will drag me through the mud right along with her . now , i do n't care for my sake . it 's my children i 'm concerned about . i mean , i 've tried my very best to prevent them from hearing all this stuff about their mother and me , but if it 's made part of the public record ... harley : oh , god . jeffrey o'neill is such a swine . he really is . the man is so arrogant and so self - absorbed . brad : i thought the two of you got along . harley : well , when we have to -- in public . but you know , there are ways around jeffrey o'neill . brad : what do you mean ? harley : i mean , my brother happens to be the chief of police , and i happen to have a few friends of my own at city hall from my years on the force . i could ... well , maybe i could call in a few favors and see if i could get the charges dropped against your wife . brad : dismiss the case ? are you serious ? harley : i ca n't promise anything , but i can try , brad . brad : if you could do that for me , if you could make this entire thing go away , i would be grateful beyond words . harley : i 'll give it a shot . alan : your file , alexandra ? alexandra : yes , alan , my dear . i mean , the pharmaceutical and cosmetics divisions are my bailiwick , and that file is particularly labeled `` a. spaulding . `` alan : hmm , well , may i remind you that i am also a. spaulding , and as acting ceo of the company , i have jurisdiction over every division . alexandra : all the more reason why you should be very concerned about just anyone seeing sensitive material , dear . nothing personal , of course , gus . gus : no , nothing personal . well , what would you call it , alexandra ? alexandra : oh , i just find it rather disturbing that alan 's been so quick to make room for you . do n't you ? gus : no , i do n't think that at all . alan wanted it , and also , phillip wanted it . alexandra : really ? gus : oh , yes , really . see , i think that phillip wanted somebody here to protect his interest , to make sure that nothing was magically reversed , all of his hard work and everything . and believe me , he did n't trust you to do that . alexandra : and you 're all right with this , alan ? alan : yes , perfectly . gus : you know what , alexandra ? do yourself a favor . just consider me the caretaker , okay ? i 'm just a seat - warmer for phillip , until he gets back , all right ? alexandra : right , right . i 'll gladly look at you that way , my dear , though i do n't think alan will . look around you . it seems to me that alan , your father , has removed every trace of phillip as the ceo . and very shortly he will be reorganizing spaulding into his very own image -- everything about spaulding , including you , darling . marina : hey , hey ! did you miss me ? cop : marina ! what brings you down to the black hole ? marina : oh , i 'm doing a project for school . dad said i could look through some of the old files . well , he did n't tell you that ? yeah , he is so spaced out these days . i guess that 's what love will do to you , though , huh ? cop : this is a restricted area , hon . i ca n't let anyone in here without permission . marina : what , not even the chief of police 's daughter ? come on , it 's not like i 'm going to take anything out . okay , just call my dad . i mean , he 's having lunch with darci , but i 'm sure he wo n't mind ... cop : no , no , no , it 's all right . you can come in . marina : thank you . you 're a doll . oh , do n't mind them . these are just my study partners . now , where do you keep the accident reports ? cop : uh ... bill : ross , it 's just a meet and greet . i do n't see the reason for counsel . ross : well , bill , i 'm just here in an advisory capacity . bill : advisory ? regarding what ? tony : how close they can get to a santos without looking dirty . bill : ( clears throat ) tony : i 'll keep my mouth shut . danny : no , i think my cousin hit the nail on the head , gentlemen . you have questions about me , personally , about my campaign , my connections . let 's hear them . why do n't we do this the right way ? cigars ? danny : okay , guys , look . you 've asked us a lot of questions and we 've answered them . bill : yeah , thoroughly . danny : beyond that , i do n't know what else i can tell you . ross : danny , um ... george and jim need assurances . they need assurances that you have severed all ties with your past . danny : and i 've assured them , ross . ross : verbally you have , yes . but they need something a bit more concrete . danny : i see where this is going now . you want me to turn my back on my cousin . ross : danny , this is awkward for all of us , and believe me , nobody is telling you how to run your personal life . danny : glad to hear it , ross . ross : but governing a city -- and you know this -- it involves a public trust . danny : ross , whatever information your clients are operating on , it 's out of date . daggert : how 's that ? danny : tony turned over a new leaf the exact same time i did . before , actually . hodge : is that a fact ? danny : yeah , it 's a fact . tony no longer has any ties to organized crime . he left that life behind along with the violence that goes with it . daggert : except when he 's raging drunk and picks a fight in a bar with some guy . hodge : olivia 's , a couple of months back ? pretty blonde lady ? you hit on her , you got into it with her boyfriend . stop me when this sounds familiar . tony : so you 've had someone tailing me , huh ? daggert : no . we know a lot of people . hodge : everywhere . your cousin 's a hothead , danny . tony : first of all , get your story straight , man . all right ? danny , listen to me . i was going through some things with marah , okay ? yeah , i got drunk , i let off some steam , it happens . it 's no big deal . it happens . daggert : it happens to people like you , not everyone else . danny : guys , come on . you heard him . he had a fight with his girlfriend . he was upset ... tony : no , no , no , no . you know what , danny ? these guys are right . i 'll tell you what . i 've told you from the beginning i would be a liability , so what i will do for you guys , i will step down . danny : no , you wo n't . tony : no , i will . you do n't need me . danny : yes , i do . tony : you do n't need me , okay ? danny : i do . you stay right here . let me see if i get this straight : you guys come in here and you grill me on my character and my ethics . you want to know that you can trust me and the only way that i can prove that to you is by telling my own cousin to take a hike ? is that it ? well , if that 's the extent of your political wisdom , gentlemen , you can take it -- along with those expensive cigars i just gave you -- and shove it up your ... bill : danny . hodge : you 've got some solid ideas , danny . danny : thank you . daggert : we really appreciate where you 're coming from . hodge : so we 'll be in touch . danny : okay , sounds good . thanks again for stopping bye . ross , thanks . ross : take care . bill : whoo ! now i know what it feels like to be dragged over hot coals . eden : you did a wonderful job , honey . danny : maybe i 'm not cut out for politics after all . bill : wait a minute , danny . do n't say that , okay ? they liked you , and i think they 're going to back you , i do . danny : yeah , maybe they will . ross is another story . eden : i got a really negative vibe from him . i wonder what 's up . danny : i 'm not sure . tony : yeah , well , whatever . it 's his loss . danny : no , tony , it could mean my loss . ross speaks for a whole part of springfield that i might never win over , no matter how hard i try . alan : you know , alexandra , there 's only one flaw to your logic , because if i were as cunning and deceitful as you suspect , when i took over for phillip i would have reclaimed my office and kicked you out on your ear . alexandra : oh , well , who says the purge is over ? alan : there is no purge and there never will be . this is a family business and the spauldings stick together no matter what . alexandra : oh , gus , tell me you 're not buying this bunk . gus : well , you know , from my personal experience , i find al to be nothing but a loyal guy . it 's some other people in the immediate vicinity that have problems with ... alexandra : well , just save it , will you ? because i think i 've done my penance . gus : no , well , i think you 've made your share of mistakes . alexandra : recently ? gus : well , sure . alexandra : name one . gus : okay , no problem . how about keeping an embezzler on the payroll , for starters ? brad : did someone mention my name ? harley : testing . testing . damn , i 'm good ! am i good ? i mean , did you see me out there ? i played brad green , not like a fiddle -- oh , no , no , no -- i would say , like a stradivarius . would n't you say ? jeffrey : oh , yeah , you were just incredible . as a matter of fact , you were mind - bendingly brilliant . okay , is your ego massaged enough now so we can get down to business ? harley : is that sarcasm ? is that the da / fed feeling a little miffed that maybe i said some unkind things about him ? jeffrey : hey , whatever it takes to get the job done , right ? harley : that 's what i think . so , what 's with the attitude ? jeffrey : maybe i do n't like my operatives disobeying me . harley : i did n't disobey you . jeffrey : harley , i told you to flirt with the guy , okay ? and not to mention spaulding . what 's the first thing you do , straight out of the gate ? harley : well , look what happened . it worked . jackpot ! jeffrey : it was an accident . i do n't like accidents , even when they work in our favor . okay , next time you 're with brad green , you do things my way . do n't deviate from the script , you got it ? harley : you know what ? you do n't have half the experience that i have working undercover . you do n't know half of what i know about working a mark . jeffrey : well , you do n't know half of what you think you do . harley : i know what men want . jeffrey : do you ? and what do men want ? you think they want to talk about what 's going on at the office ? harley : i was sympathizing with him . i was ... i was building rapport . i was gaining his trust , like you said . look , unlike you , jeffrey , most men want more than just a little tumble with a woman . jeffrey : that is exactly what they do want , harley . okay ? they do n't want to talk , okay ? do you think that brad green wanted to talk with all those women he cheated on his wife with ? hmm ? harley : you know what i think ? i think that i read him perfectly and i played him perfectly . jeffrey : do you ? and you told him that i would drop the case . harley : yes . and if you were half as smart as you think you are , you would do just that . jeffrey : on what basis ? harley : on the basis that your evidence stinks ! jeffrey : well , i 've got marie green in front of a room full of people , including the two of us , confessing . harley : please , it 's entrapment . any half decent defense attorney is going to have that thing suppressed yesterday . and who is your witness ? your only real witness is brad . and even if you have him declared hostile , you still ca n't ... jeffrey : hmm . really ? harley : ... compel him to testify . you louse . you louse ! you were planning to drop those charges all along . alexandra : brad , brad , gus did n't mean it . brad : sure he did . if you have a bone to pick with me , detective aitoro , i suggest you do it to my face . alan : brad ... gus : no , it 's all right , alan . first of all , it 's detective aitoro , and i think it 's a great idea . let 's get it all out in the open , okay ? you go first . brad : all right . you thought me guilty of a great many things for some time now , and you 're only partially right . my mistakes have been moral , not criminal . alexandra : he was also a victim himself . let 's not forget that . brad : and all of the charges against me have been dropped . gus : all except the embezzling , which you did do but you were never charged for , and i do n't know how that happened . alexandra : well , i 'll tell you . he was in an extreme situation -- not only being accused of murder but also his own wife blackmailing him ? gus : hmm . alexandra : look , in a desperate moment , he did a foolish thing . gus : yeah . something very , very foolish . alexandra : yes , and he paid it back . brad : the very next day , for god 's sakes . alexandra : well , we thought he had suffered enough . gus : do you feel the same way , alan ? alan : yes . gus : oh , well , then , hey . i 'm sorry . if you guys can forgive and forget , then i 've got no problem with that . let me just say , i 'm looking forward to working with you , mr. green . how 's that ? brad : working ? alan : yes . you see , gus has taken a leave of absence from the force and is going to be helping us out during phillip 's absence . gus : i hope that 's okay , now that we 're letting bygones by bygones . brad : well , no , i have no problem with that . gus : great ! that 's great . because alan here has told me , what , the amazing work you have done , it 's incomprehensible . the whole pharmaceutical division is ... i 'm just going to do my homework now , you know , and read all ... read all about it . brad : are you going to read that file ? gus : yes , i 'm going to read this file . i 'm going to read those files and the other files . i 'm going to read everything i can get my hands on . marah : anything in that one ? michelle : nope . nothing on a car going off a bridge , nothing about maryanne caruthers , not even a jane doe . how about you ? marina ? marina : uh , wait . wait , yeah , yeah , yeah . i found something . okay , in 1980 , a car went off a bridge . oh . it landed upside down on a cornfield , the driver and his dog escaped unharmed . marah : yeah , i found one like that , too , except it was some woman taking her cat to the vet . marina : you guys , this is a complete waste of time . i mean , we have gone through every single accident report over the last decade , and what have we found ? nothing . michelle : exactly , exactly . we 've gone through every single accident report and what have we discovered ? marah : nothing . marina just said . michelle : nothing , right . marina : is there an echo in here ? michelle : a fatal accident occurred in this town and there 's no record of it in the police files . that 's what we need to focus on : why is there no record of maryanne 's death ? marina : uh , because it never happened ? michelle : or maybe it happened and someone does n't want anyone to know . harley : you know , you might have let me know what you were up to . jeffrey : i could n't . i could n't do that . then you would n't have been so convincing , okay ? as it is now , brad thinks that you got me to drop the charges , okay ? so he owes you and he trusts you . you should be happy . harley : happy that you played me ? jeffrey : happy that brad got what he wanted , happy that his little wifey - poo wo n't have to do time and that the kiddies will have mommy to bake them cookies and wo n't be wearing prison orange . there is only one problem , is that mel will be out a client . harley : whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa . how do you know that mel is representing the jensons -- unless you are still bugging my office ! jeffrey : come on , harley . you exhaust me . mel filed as attorney of record , okay ? the paperwork crossed my desk . any other questions ? harley : you can tell me where you get ... i 'm not going to do this . i 'm not going to stoop to your level . jeffrey : hey , terrier ? you did well today . harley : that 's a stupid code name . brad : that file 's confidential . gus : so what ? brad : confidential means confidential . gus : well , i 'm a detective . i think i can keep a secret . alan : brad , is there something specific in that file that you 're concerned about ? brad : ( laughs nervously ) no , i ... is gus going to have access to absolutely everything from this point on ? alan : carte blanche . brad : well , then , you 're the boss . alexandra : temporarily , until phillip 's better . brad : welcome to the team , gus . i 'll be happy to give you any help that i can . it 's the very least i can do , considering your fiancée 's been so wonderful to me . harley is a very special lady -- kind , compassionate , smart . and she 's got a hell of a body on her , too . gus : what now ? brad : oh , from a physical standpoint . i could n't help noticing when we were working out together earlier at the gym . yes , harley 's a special lady . bill : come on , come on , let 's get out of here . tony : look , danny , i take back what i said before . i like it . danny : no , tony , you were right . why should anyone believe a politician ? tony : yeah , but see , that 's the thing . you 're not a politician , danny . i mean , look at the way you stood up to those guys , you know ? for me . danny : does that mean i have your vote ? tony : not that it matters , you know ? i mean , not that anything matters once the other side declares and everything starts to fly . i mean , you just got a little taste of it today , danny . you know ? danny : yeah . it 's going to get ugly . tony : yeah . yeah , it is . i just wish it was like the old days when we knew who our enemies were , because now , this game , a knife in your back could come from anyone . rick : thanks , ross . i ... ross : yeah . rick : ... for taking the time to talk with me . i 'm just really worried about my dad . ross : well , i do n't know what to say , rick , because ed has seemed just fine to me lately . rick : not particularly agitated or moody or ... ? ross : ( laughs ) rick : i 'm sorry , what am i saying ? i mean , he 's never been mary sunshine , has he ? ross : you know , to be honest , i think he 's a little uncomfortable with the idea of danny running for mayor and the public scrutiny . maybe that 's what 's got him down . rick : how do you feel about that , ross ? about danny running for mayor ? ross : um , at the moment i 'm reserving judgment on that . what about you ? rick : i guess i 'm okay with it . i mean , i was n't in love with the idea , but you know what ? if michelle 's happy , i 'm happy . ross : honestly , i would n't worry about it , because once ed gets used to the idea of danny running for mayor , he 'll be fine , and you know , all he wants is for michelle to be happy and to have the uncomplicated life that she deserves . marah : michelle , i love conspiracy theories as much as the next person , but ... michelle : okay , i 'm not saying for sure that it 's a conspiracy . i mean , maybe there 's a perfectly good reason why maryanne 's accident is n't on record . or maybe ... maybe the accident never happened in the first place and carrie 's making the whole thing up , i do n't know . marah : no , she 's given us too much information for that . marina : yeah , information that has n't panned out yet . marah : okay , well , maybe we got the timeframe wrong . michelle : no , i do n't think so . i think maryanne lived and died right around the time that we think . wait . wait , that 's it . she died . marina : yeah , we know that , michelle . michelle : okay , but this is another way for us to get information , right ? where do people go when they die ? and i do n't mean metaphysically . marina : oh , no . you can not be serious . marah : no . michelle : mm - hmm . marah : the graveyard . michelle : mm - hmm . her body had to end up somewhere , right ? i mean , maybe she 's in our town cemetery , and there would be a headstone . marina : oh , this just keeps getting better . marah : you want us to go digging through a creepy , cold graveyard ? michelle : yup , tonight . marina : in the pitch dark ? oh , joy . michelle : look , i 'm not thrilled about it , either , but do we want to get to the bottom of this thing or not ? marah : okay . marina : yeah , okay . if there 's any digging to be done , you 're the one with the shovel . marah : ew . michelle : all right , so then we 're all in agreement . we 'll meet tonight , let 's say , what , after dinner ? at the graveyard . okay ? and we ca n't say a word about this to a soul , because remember , if we do , carrie 's going to disappear and then we 'll never find out what happened to maryanne caruthers . agreed ? marina : agreed . marah : agreed . alexandra : next , on guiding light : brad : what do you need to get started ? eden : a bikini , some sunblock , and i will need the spaulding corporate jet in the morning . marina : yeah , it was just ... just the wind . marah : right . marina : right . yeah . marah : ( screams ) carrie : the time has finally come .

[ scene_break ] josh : i guess i 'm just feeling like maybe we did n't appreciate the kids while we had them . reva : i think there were several things we did n't appreciate quite enough . josh : that 's true . yes . reva : so what is going on ? did you have a parishioner come to you with some kind of kid problem ? josh : no , no . it 's actually much closer to home than that . it 's will . reva : ah . is he having trouble being here ? josh : i think it 's more than that . he 's got issues . reva : what kind of issues ? josh : well , he 's been acting out a lot with r.j. and with me . but i had an interesting conversation with james , who told me that his fall from the stage was n't an accident . he was pushed . reva : and , what , you think will did it ? josh : yes , i do . reva : what does cassie think about that ? josh : she does n't want to believe it . she still has feelings of guilt about sending will to san cristobel , feeling like she abandoned him , that kind of thing . reva : well , i can understand that . i certainly felt guilty about giving up jonathan . and you know something , he did n't set those fires to have fun . he did it because he felt deserted . he wanted to hurt other people the way he 'd been hurt . josh : but eventually , you ... you called him on it , right ? reva : well , yes , because it was the only thing i could do to try to help him . josh : well , see , that 's kind of what i think this situation is with will , but we wo n't be able to help him until we face the truth about what he 's been doing . reva : well , i 'm sure you 'll figure out a way to help him , because you always do . and you should just be happy that you 're getting to will early enough , which is something i did n't do with jonathan . josh : thanks . i needed that . reva : you 're welcome . ( laughs ) [ scene_break ] harley : okay , just ... leave it alone . ( knock at the door ) wow , am i glad to see you ! cassie : wow . something wrong ? harley : no . i just ... i need a distraction . cassie : from cyrus ? harley : could we find something else to talk about except him ? cassie : okay ! harley : no , i mean , you must have come here for a reason . do you have a problem ? something big , something that will keep me distracted ? cassie : well , i would n't exactly call it a problem . i just ... actually , i wanted to set up some play dates for will and zach . harley : that 's all ? cassie : well , i want it to be a regular thing , you know ? maybe will could join zach 's basketball team , or maybe the scouts , or maybe they could do both of them together . harley : okay . it all sounds good . what 's going on ? cassie : i just , i ... i think it would be good for will to be busy . harley : because of what happened to edmund ? cassie : that and he and josh just are kind of at odds . and i just figure , you know , the busier will is , the less chance they have to butt heads . harley : it 's always really hard to try to bring a child into an already existing family . i should know . i 'm still working on it with daisy . cassie : yeah , i guess that 's it , and will 's age , maybe , or that he 's already been through so many changes , but he 's just not warming up to josh as a father figure . harley : that 's so weird because josh is such a dad . what does he say ? cassie : well , i keep reminding myself the last time josh had to raise someone else 's kid , it was jonathan . harley : oh . well , what 's will doing ? cassie : what do you mean ? harley : if josh is comparing will to jonathan , will must be doing something big . cassie : oh , my gosh , no . i mean , will is nothing like jonathan . he 's a little boy . how much trouble could he cause ? [ scene_break ] josh : will , could you come down here , please , help me set the table ? hello ? jeffrey : trouble ? reva forgot her phone . josh : okay . jeffrey : got it . josh : you and reva should join us for christmas dinner . jeffrey : is n't that the busiest day of the year for ministers ? josh : i think you 're confusing me with santa claus . i just ... i have one sermon in the morning , and then i 'm done . cassie 's cooking , so you and reva should be here . jeffrey : does that mean you 're not angry anymore ? josh : well , you should have told me that you were going to change plans . you should have consulted me . jeffrey : right . you know what ? i think we 're going to pass on that invitation . josh : this is not just about us , jeffrey . okay , cassie and reva are sisters . reva is the boy 's aunt , so they should all be together at christmastime . jeffrey : and you and i will just grin and bear it ? josh : pretty much , yes . jeffrey : i 'll run it by reva . josh : okay . jeffrey : you know what ? we really should all be celebrating because everyone pretty much got what they wanted . josh : a man took a bad fall . he was almost killed . jeffrey : not just any man . edmund . you know what ? maybe prayer actually works . maybe god actually listened to us and helped us get rid of a madman . josh : unfortunately , i do n't believe god had anything to do with edmund 's fall . will ? [ scene_break ] will : aunt reva ? reva : will ! who are you here with ? will : i 'm alone . reva : does your mom know you 're here ? will : i 'm not supposed to tell you . reva : tell me what ? will : josh needs you .

[ scene_break ] cassie : honey , did jeffrey do something that upset you ? r.j. : so do n't tell me there is a santa claus ! reva : of course there 's a santa claus because i leave him cookies every year , and he always leaves me a present . billy : because she 's such a good girl . reva : even when i 'm bad . jeffrey : i told him he was going to get a bike for christmas . he saw me putting it together . cassie : got it . r.j. , you know , a picture does n't always tell the whole story . now , maybe ... bear with me , here . maybe santa left a note for jeffrey saying , `` i 'm swamped this year ; i need to drop off some gifts unassembled , so if you would put this bike together and leave it early for r.j. for christmas that would be great . `` jeffrey : not buying it huh , r.j. ? r.j. , did i tell you about flubble versus flubble ? it 's a very famous case . obscure , but very famous . cassie : i think i 've heard of it . jeffrey : see , there you go . it 's actually a true story about a boy about your age who sued his very own parents for something called `` false representation , `` which is a fancy of way of saying for lying , see ? he claimed that his parents told him that santa claus brought his presents every year , and he did n't believe that . not only that , but he felt `` wantonly and willfully misled `` about said mr. claus , and so he found the toughest lawyer he could find and he hauled his parents into court for something called restitution , which is ... rusty : which means big bucks . jeffrey : exactly . ( laughter ) well , you see , the trial started and things were n't looking good for the flubbles . you see , they could n't produce one shred of evidence that santa claus existed because santa claus is magical , and it 's very hard to prove the existence of something that 's magical . so when all seemed lost for the flubbles , the lawyer stunned the courtroom by calling up the last person they could ever expect to be put on the stand : the boy himself . reva : oh , my gosh ! what happened ? jeffrey : well , the lawyer started asking him questions about past christmases . did he remember the past christmases ? did he look forward to them ? did he always get the toys and presents he wanted ? were stockings hung and were christmas carols sung and were there christmas cookies ? well , the boy was under oath and he could n't lie , and so he had to say yes , he remembered that . and the more he remembered , the more that he smiled . and that 's when he realized what the magic of christmas was . the magic of christmas is that christmas makes everyone smile . so he ran over to his parents and gave them a big hug . and the lawyers were also ecstatic , and everyone in the courtroom was ecstatic because the jury was in and the verdict was ... all : not guilty ! reva : there 's a santa ! ( laughter ) oh , i 've never met a flubble i did n't like . [ scene_break ] olivia : maybe the past does n't matter . maybe when you find love , you just have to hang on to it with everything you 've got . hawk : you say the word , and she is road kill . reva : come on , pop , it 's christmas . hawk : not yet it ai n't . [ scene_break ] jonathan : this thing can double as a noose if things get ugly in there . tammy : it does n't sound ugly . jonathan : yeah , well , that 's because we have n't walked in yet . tammy : you just remember . whatever happens , we 're in it together . jonathan : this and everything else . you ready ? tammy : ready . he 'll stroke his beard his eyes will glow and ask your name ... [ next_on ] harley : you look like you just saw the ghost of christmas past . alan : guess what i 'm going to get your mommy for christmas ? zach : what ? alan : something she really deserves . tammy : merry christmas , everybody !

[ scene_break ] ( o come all ye faithful playing ) ( indistinct conversation ) ( gasping ) jeffrey : dearly beloved , we are gathered here tonight to unite blake and ross in the bond of holy matrimony before family and friends , and what looks like to be about a dozen santa clauses . ( laughter ) jeffrey : ross and blake have chosen to say their own vows . blake ? blake : ross , you know what i noticed when i first came down those stairs just now ? ross : a lot of red suits ? ( laughter ) blake : besides that . that star on top of the tree . so high up there , shining down on us . when i was getting ready this evening , my girlfriends kept asking me , `` how does it feel , blake ? does it feel different getting married to ross this time ? `` and i have to say , yes . and no . yes , because , well , i suppose we 're a few years older . everyone 's wearing santa claus suits . ( laughs ) and you have gotten even more handsome . ross : incredible , but so true . ( laughter ) blake : and i am just so radiant . i do n't know how i do it . ( laughter ) blake : this time , though , we are blessed with three beautiful , beautiful children . and here we are making those same promises that we made before , but this time we know . we know how hard it is to honor those vows . the kind of work and dedication and trust it takes to love each other day in and day out in the face of adversity . and despite that , maybe even because of it , we are here reaffirming our commitment to each other . and that 's why that star caught my eye , because stars are constant and unwavering , just like our love for each other . they 're up there all the time , ross , even when you ca n't see them . they 're guiding us and lighting our way . those stars are forever . and so are we . jeffrey : ross ? ross : blake , i have to admit that as you were coming down those stairs , i was not looking at the star on top of the christmas tree . for how could i when i only have eyes for you . i have never seen you look more beautiful than you do this evening , and it 's saying a lot . but before you came down , i was looking at these handsome gentlemen in their fine , red suits , and thinking how well they represent faith . and on christmas eve , i think we can all admit , we need an awful lot of faith to believe that reindeer not only know how to fly , but can make all those stops in their trip around the globe in one magnificent evening . and it takes a lot of faith to believe that an overweight gentlemen can shimmy his way down the chimney , and even more faith to believe that he can shimmy his way back up ... ( laughter ) ross : and it takes a great deal of faith to believe that that jolly old gentlemen can drink all that milk and eat all those cookies that we set out for him every year . you see what great lengths we 'll go to to preserve that faith , that hope , that belief , and pass it on to our children , so that they , too , can truly and simply believe . blake , you and i and a lot of other people in this room know all the grownup reasons why nothing should ever go right between us , and that we are just fools for standing in front of all these people . but as you just said , despite all that , or perhaps because of it , here we are . we 're here and we are here because , like all those wise children , we believe . we believe in one another , and we believe in the deep connection that we share . we believe that whatever life puts before us , we can enjoy or overcome , so long as we do it together . we believe that our love always has and always will conquer all things . and in the believing , we make it so . my dear girl , i love you more than words can express , and will till death do us part . i 'm honored and blessed to have you as my wife . [ scene_break ] marina : shayne , whatever possessed you to come out here by yourself , without a spot ? you could have gotten seriously hurt . shayne : i wanted to . marina : you , what , you wanted to ... you wanted to what ? you wanted to scare me half to death on christmas eve ? shayne : no , i was ... marina : what ? what ? shayne : i wanted to walk ... for you . it was going to be your christmas present , but i ca n't . i ca n't ! i ca n't do it ! marina : shayne .

[ scene_break ] jeffrey : thunder . marah : ( laughs ) what about it ? jeffrey : it 's scared me silly since i was a kid . you asked me to tell you something . thunder . marah : well , what do you know ? miracles really do happen . jeffrey : marah , your parents are right over there . marah : blame it on the mistletoe . jeffrey : what mistletoe ? marah : oops , my mistake . [ scene_break ] reva : hey , santa . josh : ho - ho - ho .

( applause ) [ scene_break ] phillip : next on guiding light bill : the best solution for peace here is if you drop out of the race and throw your support over to danny santos . ross : ( laughs ) or danny could drop out and throw his support to me . jeffrey : you are in the big leagues now , harley . whether you like it or not , you are my responsibility ! olivia : if my baby had lived , if i had come home with a baby in my arms , would i still have to look over my shoulders where lizzie 's concerned ?

lizzie : in fact , bill lewis is the one who took charge of this project in the first place . his father billy and i have been working on it for months and we are all set to announce it , but smart , determined , bill lewis got me drunk , used secrets he read in my diary to get me into bed , stole my notes , snuck out and then swiped the deal right out from under me , then he released to the press that his father was an alcoholic . if that is n't brilliant strategizing , i do n't know what is . that is what people will remember , roxie -- bill lewis humiliated on public tv , not all that stuff about me getting drunk and sleeping with him on our first non - date . who would really blame me , roxie ? it had been 19 months and four days . or something like that . not that i want people to know that either . so what if they call me a slut ? if i am a slut , i am not very good at it . have a good day . dinah : hey , tramp . lizzie : hey , roomie . dinah : do n't tell anybody that you saw me here . lizzie : okay . is bill in there ? lizzie : no . dinah : oh . then who are you talking to ? lizzie : my dog . dinah : oh . lizzie : you know , bill hurt me , okay ? and i hurt him , too , and we are even . actually , we 're not even because he did ... wait , did you just walk out ? dinah : yeah . just did . lizzie : how is it going ? dinah : it 's not that bad . i 'm in the same rehab as billy . lizzie : oh , good , then i can visit you . dinah : no , no . you do n't need to do that . lizzie : i will visit you . dinah : thank you . well , at least now i know that i need help and maybe bill will see that he does , too . i know he has n't been himself since he 's been back . lizzie : okay . well , take care of yourself . do you think it 's weird that i talk to my dog ? dinah : oh , you 're probably asking the wrong girl , but i sort of do it , too . lizzie : you talk to my dog ? dinah : no , it 's ... well , you know , i have a movie that goes on in my head . lizzie : how do you mean ? dinah : you know like at the movies when you hear the voice that tells you exactly what people are thinking ? what do they call it ? lizzie : like a voiceover . dinah : yes . i have one of those . lizzie : what do the voices tell you to do ? dinah : well , no . it 's my voice in my head . my thoughts on my life . as if millions of people are watching and needed to know . usually on special days , you know , like when i started dating mallet and tried to plan our wedding . it 's probably not healthy . lizzie : it will probably stop when you quit the pills . dinah : dating mallet and the wedding . lizzie : oh , so it was before . it 's not your fault . you were shot in the brain . dinah : no ... lizzie : oh , it was before that ? dinah : yeah . lizzie : oh . dinah : okay . maybe i will see you around rehab some time .

[ scene_break ] lizzie : wait a second , i did n't do anything wrong . he must be dying right now . okay , do n't look . do n't look . do n't look . i bet he looked and i missed it when i was trying not to look . that 's a nice sweater . is it new ? maybe he got it for christmas . probably from one of his trampy girlfriends . that color . oh , it 's almost unfair what it does to his eyes . stop it , lizzie . no more falling in love for you . especially not with ... bartender : oh , i am so sorry . bill : oh , that 's all right . it is like you were aiming for me , though . bartender : it is just water . bill : hi . would you mind passing me one of those paper towels ? i have a little ... woman : yes , i would . bill : is that sally ? sally , right ? i did n't recognize you out of your uniform . how are you doing ? woman : you 've seen me out of your uniform . bill : that i have . getting ready to go to work ? woman : i do n't bartend at 10 : 00 in the morning . bill : no , i do n't suppose you do . you know , it 's always good to see a familiar face , someone who understands me . i am going to give you my card and why do n't you give me a call this time , okay ? whew . lizzie : i knew his reputation would take a hit , but this ? this is fantastic . it made the papers . uh ... did i just say that out loud ? bill : enjoying yourself ? lizzie : i am . i think this headline is rather nice . bill : i did n't sleep with you to get to the top . lizzie : no , you stole my project and outed your dad as a drunk . bill : he is a drunk . lizzie : well you 're a ... think , think , think , think . bill : gah , gah , gah ... are you stuck ? you have a few good ones they call me in here . unfortunately , like they say , there is no such thing as bad press . lizzie : yeah , there is . bill : oh , you 're right , there is . like when you go on tv and say you are drunk and easy while i am running the construction company and scoring with the ladies , oh , yes . lizzie : do not give him the upper hand . okay . okay . maybe you are still king of the world this morning . you saw how many clients your father lost after you went public with his problem . do you really think that people want to work with a guy who did this ? do you ? then threw his own father under the bus ? exactly how many jobs have come in since i made my little announcement ? huh ? i still have the upper hand , like my upper hand just slapped him across the face . bill : you are off all active construction projects . lizzie : what ? bill : yeah , you can answer phones . lizzie : you ca n't do that . bill : like you said , king of the world . lizzie : you need me on this main street project . bill : i need you ? ha , ha , ha . oh , sweetheart , you are window dressing . and you are very good at it and it kills me to have to let you go but how can i trust you after you sold me out ? there is not going to be enough work to go around anyway , since , like you said , we could lose business because you could n't keep your mouth shut . [ scene_break ] lizzie : surprise ! billy : hey , little one , what 's up ? lizzie : hey , i brought you hunting and fishing magazine , fishing and hunting magazines . some of those snack chips that you like . more lavender linen spray , and jasmine , too . it promotes relaxed awareness . billy : well , wait a minute , i thought it was the lavender that promoted relaxed awareness . lizzie : now billy is doubting me . great . lizzie : no , lavender is for tranquility . billy : i could have sworn that the label said it was for relaxed awareness . let me see . lizzie : is it so hard to believe i know what i am doing ? jasmine makes you relaxed and aware . billy : well , darling , then you better take some . i got television in here and i get the papers . what the hell did you think you were doing ? lizzie : i could n't wait the 28 days or whatever . you know , someone had to take him down . billy : yeah , you really took him down . lizzie : he got right back up . billy : hence you come in here with all the gifts . what 's up ? lizzie : i want something . billy : i could have guessed that . now what ? lizzie : i know how we could take bill down , so he will stay down until you are out of here and you can deal with him yourself . billy : oh , this sounds bad . this sounds very bad idea . lizzie : it 's a really good idea . think of your father and how hard he worked to build this company . billy : she 's so angry she 's playing the do - it - for - daddy card . lizzie : billy , your son called me drunk and easy . billy : what 's the plan ? [ scene_break ] bill : now , jim , if those numbers look good to you , we can break ground next week . man : i know you 're in charge now but i thought billy still needs to sign off . bill : no , he gave me his power of attorney while he 's away . lizzie : no , actually he gave it to his other son . dylan : hello , everyone , little brother , jim , i 'm dylan lewis . lizzie has caught me up to speed on this whole thing . bill : jim , give me a second . thank you . what are you doing ? lizzie : billy gave his power of attorney to dylan with a little help from the window dressing . bill : you are unbelievable , okay ? lizzie : i am trying to protect your father . bill : now , look , i am sorry that you can not handle the fact i do n't want to settle down and have kids and move out to the burbs or whatever little fantasy you have planned in that head of yours . you need to grow up . dylan : is everything okay here ? bill : what are you doing ? this deal ... dylan : it just got done . yeah , you not the only one who knows how to run the company . lizzie : why was i worried about him when billy fired him ? why did i try to get him home when dinah needed him ? if i knew this bill was the bill coming back , i would have never made that call . and i 'd never get that fluttery feeling in my stomach when i see him . i 'd never worry about what i wear to work so i could look cute and smart at the same time . i 'd never start hoping again that a guy would love me like jonathan loved tammy . and i would n't have this voice in my head because i would be writing in a diary like normal people do . bill : you just made everything worse . lizzie : what ? bill : because i am going to find a judge that will declare my dad incompetent and i will have power of attorney by lunchtime . toodles . lizzie : can he really do that ? dylan : it 's not going to happen . you did the right thing , lizzie . bill : ( laughs ) yeah . lizzie : is he laughing at us ? dylan : let it go . lizzie : no , no . i want people to know the kind of guy he is ? women people , womankind , whatever you want to call it , okay . because he 's going to do this to someone else . he 's going to break someone else 's heart just like he did to mine . dylan : he broke your heart ? lizzie : no . it 's a metaphor . dylan : really ? are you sure ? lizzie : dylan , okay , he is a bad guy like everybody else in my life , they hurt you and leave you . i was a screw - up when i was with coop and jonathan but i changed . i was being a better version of myself , probably even the best version of me i can possibly be . there is no reason for someone not to love me . dylan : whoa , whoa , whoa . it 's okay . where are you going ? lizzie : i think the better version of me needs to sit this one out . [ scene_break ] lizzie : i 'm not faking . i am upset . i just look really good for an upset person . so if i want to score some sympathy points , what mother would n't be horrified her son did this ? oh , hi vanessa . vanessa : hi . how are you ? lizzie : you saw the news ? vanessa : well , i run the station , so ... lizzie : you must have been shocked . vanessa : no . actually not , because i knew before . i mean , billy had told me right after it happened . lizzie : oh . you never said anything . vanessa : well , i did n't really think that you would want to talk about it , but ... i do n't know , i guess you did . lizzie : so you 're okay with what your son did to me ? vanessa : no . no . i am not at all . i think he treated you very badly and i wish he had n't . i did n't raise him to behave that way , but , well , he 's just ... he 's a little lost right now . lizzie : a little lost is you made a wrong turn on fifth street . bill is completely off the map . vanessa : he is a good man . he is just ... he is just in the dark at the moment . he 's going through a dark time but i know that he will come around . lizzie : so if a guy with no moral compass did this to dinah or maureen is that what you would tell him , he 's probably a little lost in the dark , hang in there ? vanessa : no , no , and that is not what i am telling you to do . i do n't think you should hang in there . in fact , i think you should get out as fast as possible so he does n't hurt you again , lizzie . lizzie : i was right . the better version of me is not cut out for this . i do n't think he would let me . vanessa : what do you mean ? lizzie : bill did n't just use me for himself . he 's been using me as bait to get new clients . and if he thinks that i am going to make good on the promises that he 's made , the favors he 's promised these people ... that is your son . [ scene_break ] vanessa : i mean , are you listening to me ? i am telling you i am ashamed of you , that i do n't feel as i know who you are anymore . bill : that is very hurtful . lizzie : look at him in there . what a mama 's boy . all i had to do was tell a little white lie for the greater good , for bill 's good , really . wow . vanessa is really telling him off . vanessa : you just think everything is a joke , you do n't understand it . lizzie : he should be looking more upset . vanessa : ... so badly that it could really have repercussions on your life . bill : i wonder if they have aspirin on the menu . lizzie : is he ... oh , my god , he is . vanessa : somehow i have raised a real louse of a son . bill : sit down , i 'll get you a turkey club . vanessa : i do n't want a turkey club . i want you to listen to me and understand that i have something to say to you . bill : okay , i 'm listening . i am all ears . vanessa : good . then hear this , okay ? bill : i am listening . vanessa : you could go to jail . bill : what are you talking about ? vanessa : and i am not going to just stand around here and watch while you ruin your life . bill : so what are you going to do it for me ? are you going to use wspr to run a smear campaign against me and force me out of the company ? is what you are going to do ? vanessa : you got it . if that 's what it takes , that 's what i 'll do . bill : wow , my own mother just as bad as lizzie . vanessa : you know what ? you , my darling son , can not afford one more iota of bad publicity . bill : did she talk to you ? ( laughs ) yes ! oh , silence is golden . okay , mom , listen , i love you , i do , but you have got to back off . i am not kidding . vanessa : who are you ? [ scene_break ] man : can i buy you a drink ? lizzie : i already have one . man : well , maybe i can cheer you up . oh , come on . you are a girl that likes to have fun , right ? i can be fun . lizzie : dude , i have known you for like two seconds , back up . man : well , longer than that , lizzie . lizzie : how did you know my name ? oh , give me a break . i 'm not a slut . man : no one is saying you are . i would n't kick you out of bed to go to work . that 's for sure . bill : well , i did n't kick her out of bed . just kind of left her there . bill lewis . man : brian faustino . lizzie : brian faustino ? bill : do you know each other ? lizzie : yeah . from grade school . man : come on , you recognize me . lizzie : no , i did n't . you saw the news . man : well , yeah , i saw the news , too , but i came here to talk to you . lizzie : uh . bill : i am going to leave you two lovebirds alone . lizzie : do not leave me with him . bill : i 'm not the one who broadcast to the world what happened between us . i am a gentleman . you kids have fun . man : thanks , man . you know , i 've already got a room here . [ scene_break ] lizzie : jimmying a lock with a credit card : the best thing dinah ever taught me . you have to be stealth . it 's like breaking and entering 101 . do guys even keep a journal ? a journal ? that 's what they call it . men would n't call it a diary . come on , come on , come on . are you kidding me ? for a guy that causes so much trouble there should be something in a drawer here . give me a break . `` i 'm not the one who told the whole world about us . `` like me going on tv was so wrong . what he did to me in the first place is what was really wrong . ugh , i hate him so much ! i hate him . god , his shirt smells so good . beth : i knew this could n't be good . lizzie : no , it 's not . how did you even know that i was here ? beth : i was looking for you , but then i saw bill 's door ajar . lizzie : shut the door all the way : another gem from breaking and entering 101 . beth : i had a bad feeling about this . what did you do ? lizzie : i did nothing , yet . you take the dresser , i 'm going to get the lights . do you want to get us busted ? beth : what are you doing ? lizzie : i do n't know if bill keeps a journal , but that 's what a guy would call it , right ? a journal ? beth : what ... would you listen to yourself . what are you doing ? lizzie : there 's got to be something around here i can use against him . not for right now , but just to have in case . beth : i do n't understand this . lizzie : did you see the news ? beth : yes , yes how could i miss it ? lizzie : what do you not understand ? mom , he used me in the worst possible way . he messed up everything at work . he made me believe he was something that he was n't . what are you doing ? beth : i am trying to help you before bill gets back . lizzie : if you want to help me , help me get dirt on this guy . you have some . you must have some . beth : lizzie , do you understand we have to get out of here ? lizzie : hey , mom , mom , mom , mom , you are too pregnant to be doing this . beth : what ? lizzie : i can not believe i did n't think of this before , you were married to bill . beth : no , lorelei was married to bill . lizzie : yes , but you were lorelei . beth : i was confused . lizzie : no , no . but in your confusion , mom , you hooked up with mill , right ? it was n't your fault because you were a little schizo , that 's okay , but you have to have some dirt on him . does he have any weird habits or maybe a really , really painful childhood memory or something ? beth : lizzie , let this go . lizzie : you 're right , that stuff is too small . maybe ... maybe i could ... i could plant some cash , you know , at the office and say that he stole it or something . have you ever seen him drive ? because i can tell mallet to pull him over , give him a speeding ticket , bring him in and maybe trump up the charges and play the bad cop . because you know mallet would do that , he would do that because he hates the way bill uses dinah . that is exactly what bill is , too . bill is a user . emma . emma . she 's not exactly his any more , but he would freak out if anything were to happen to her ? beth : what are you talking about ? lizzie : mom , chill out , okay ? . all i am saying is maybe if he lost her for a couple of hours when he is supposed to be watching her ... i would take really good care of her and take her to the movies or something and just long enough to make him sweat . yeah . because that is personal . that is hardcore betrayal and then he would know what it feels like ... the news thing was not big enough . beth : stop this . you sound just like your father . lizzie : i am not like dad . beth : oh , no ? no , you already got him back but that is not enough for you and you are enjoying hurting him . lizzie : you should how he just left me at towers , mom , and what he did to billy . beth : listen to me , honey . listen to me . you can not do this . lizzie : no , no ! bill hurt me . bill : that 's why you want to hit him again . honey , honey , listen , this is about you , this is ... this is not about bill . this is about you . we need have to get out of here . lizzie : momma ! everything was going great , mom , okay ? i got a job that i was good at . i had a place of my own . i was helping billy and dinah , i even helped bill . i was being a good person . beth : honey just because you are a good person does n't mean that bad things are n't going to happen . lizzie : then what 's the point ? i was bad and so i lost coop and then jonathan and then sarah , and then granddad did n't even want anything to do with me and now i have changed and still nobody wants to ... i 'm still just me . beth : oh , no , honey , you will always have me , you always ... lizzie : you have her , and rick and your stepkids .. you did n't even tell me you were getting married . that is the second time you got married without telling me . beth : not like i planned -- lizzie : i do n't care , i do n't care . i am not like dad . but i am so glad i am not nothing like you . beth : i am nobody 's victim . not anymore . lizzie : when jonathan and sarah look down and they check in on me they are going to see i am strong , that i have not fallen apart . beth : and you think sarah would be proud of your behavior now , do you ? i 'm sorry that you lost sarah . i am . but , lizzie , you have to learn to live for yourself now , not just prove something to her or to jonathan or to anybody else . you have to find what you want in life . lizzie : sometimes what i want is to go back to that day and go off the cliff with them . i can do this . i just need to let my mind go to a quiet place . like they say on the yoga dvd aunt alex got me last christmas , which i only used twice because the people on there were freakishly bendy and not even sweating , which is completely unrealistic , because when you are holding downward dog for three minutes and 42 seconds , which is my record , you ache until you feel like you ca n't bear one more second . lately , every day feels like those three minutes and 42 seconds . oh , shoot . my mind left the quiet place . whatever , i just need to do this . what did mom say ? what do i want ? i should probably go with world peace . wait , okay . i 've got it . i want a lifetime of perfect hair days , and calorie - free doughnuts . i want roxie to be toilet trained . i want bill to get so burned . i want dinah to get clean . i want my new little sister to have a real childhood . i want my daughter back . i want tammy and jonathan back , even if they 'd never speak to me again . i want my dad to be how he was before he got sick , and i want ... i want bill to be how he was before i woke up . bill : lizzie ! lizzie : what are you ... this is really expensive leather . bill : what ? lizzie : you are going to get it dirty . bill : you are not supposed to jump off the roof , then ? lizzie : did you think i was going to jump off the roof for you ? is that what you thought ? bill : i did n't know ... lizzie : you have the biggest ego , you know that ? bill : lizzie , you knocked me down downstairs , you 're crying like crazy . i come up here , i find you on the edge of a roof . lizzie : so what ? bill : your eyes are shut and your legs are wobbly , i did n't know what to think . lizzie : i was thinking . i was thinking . i was in the zone . bill : what could you possibly be thinking ? you 're on the edge of a roof . are you nuts ? lizzie : i was n't that close to the edge . bill : close enough . lizzie : are you okay ? bill : what the hell , lizzie ? lizzie : i was trying to get away from my mother , okay ? she 's too pregnant to chase me up here . it is not like you have n't done something like this before . bill : what ? lizzie : remember when we ... you asked me ... you asked me if i knew what it was like to stand on the edge , holding my breath , waiting for a push . bill : lizzie ... lizzie : are you okay , for real ? bill : what did you think i meant ? lizzie : i do n't know . i thought maybe it was some south american meditation thing . you know i wanted to get away from my mom and there are a lot of things to think about and i just thought that ... bill ? bill ? bill : come on , it 's freezing . lizzie : no , no . what did you really mean ? bill : i 'm serious . let 's go , okay , before we get sick . lizzie : i am just going to take this , okay ? bill : you have got to get warm , lizzie . lizzie : no , i have to go back to my room . bill : no , wait , whoa , whoa . no . listen , hey , hey , hey , do you really want to deal with beth right now ? lizzie : how do you know she is going to be there ? bill : because she told me . i do n't know what happened but you really upset her . lizzie : yeah , well you upset your mom before . bill : put this on . what do you mean ? were you there ? lizzie : no . bill : what 's wrong ? lizzie : i ca n't feel my fingers . bill : here . lizzie : what are you doing ? bill : hey , hey , hey . let me help . lizzie : if he thinks this is turning me on or something , he is so wrong . i can do it myself . why are n't you cold ? bill : you 're still shaking . come here . i want you to lay down , warm yourself up , okay ? lizzie : no . i need to go home . bill : what 's the rush ? just lay down and warm yourself up , that 's all . lizzie : okay . so i 'll stay for a little bit . but just to warm up . bill : see ? you are a mess . lizzie : so are you . bill : well , are you warmer ? lizzie : why did you follow me onto that roof ? bill : i told you , i thought you were going to jump . lizzie : no , that 's why you tackled me . why did you follow me ? bill : are you warmer or not ? hmm ? lizzie : yes . interesting . bill : what did you think you were going to find in here anyway ? lizzie : i did n't know . bill : well , guess i ca n't blame you , you know . the news , the breaking and entering , everything else . i was doing the same thing , going after everyone who was hurting me . lizzie : you hurt me before i ever hurt you . bill : i know . you were just a way to get to my father . lizzie : i wonder if that means sorry in bill speak . i almost turned into him today . bill : my father ? lizzie : no . my father . i went too far . i am so done with that . i am done hurting people . ugh . ugh . i ca n't believe i slutified myself on tv . you 're so not worth it . bill : oh . slutified ? not a word . lizzie : you are not listening to the important things . bill : i hear everything you say . lizzie : he 's being too nice . he 's setting you up . wait for it . bill : i should n't have taken you off those construction projects . lizzie : what ? bill : you do good work . lizzie : is he saying that he needs me ? bill : watch , maybe some day we 'll be partners and we 'll be running the whole place together . lizzie : oh , i need a translator with this guy . or maybe i just need to trust him a little more . he screwed up , i screwed up . it kind of makes sense . dinah : oh . bill : lizzie , hold on . lizzie , just wait one ... dinah : how did this even happen ? bill : what ? i was looking for something and i just ... dinah : bill ... bill : what ? dinah : you are going to have to do a better job of lying than that , especially if you 're serious about taking billy down , all right ? i already had to lie to him , to mom , to lizzie . bill : wait , what did you say to lizzie ? dinah : i had to explain to her why i was moving out , that i was a druggie and needed to fix my life . and maybe bill will realize he has to fix his . blah , blah , blah , i can not believe you had her on that bed , ready to do it again ! bill : what ?

i thought she was your friend . dinah : do you see ? it is already happening , it is already happening . lizzie is my friend . it is wrong that i lie to her . but you are my brother , and if you lose your focus , you are going to lose your chance to overtake lewis for good . bill : wait a minute , i just want ... dinah : no . bill , i have the raw end of this deal . i am doing recon in rehab and what you need to do is not fall in love with lizzie .
