Alison, are you awake?
Can I talk to you?

What is it?

- What? What time is it?
- It's about 7.00.

I haven't slept at all.

I've just been going over
Amanda's pregnancy

and our relationship.

We had this great thing going on,

and this happens
and it's totally pulling us apart.

Honestly, I don't know
what you want from me.

Sympathy? Friendship?

I can manage that, maybe.

But I don't know about much else.

It's hard, OK? I know.

But why can't we just try
and be together?

Don't wave our romance in front of me.

Look how you've handled
Amanda's pregnancy.

- I'm trying to do the right thing.
- A little more than that.

You've jumped into her life
with both feet.

- Well, it's a pretty big obligation.
- If you choose to handle it that way.

I don't want to hurt you.

- I care so much about you.
- No.

Here is someone who cares about me.

Keith has written me every week
since I left.

Yeah, I've noticed.

So have you written him back?

No. I don't want to lead him on.

The point is, he doesn't waver, Billy.

He doesn't get confused.
He doesn't want anything else.

He just wants me.

Well, I'm trying. Really, I am.

Look, Mr Kay,
if that's what you want, all right,

it's your building. But why now?

Yeah, I understand.

Yeah, of course I'll cooperate.

Bye, now.

Good morning.
I missed you last night.

I don't mind sleeping
on the foldout.

I like the way the middle bar
sticks into the small of my back.

- What did Mr Kay want?
- You're not gonna believe this.

Nothing surprises me anymore, Michael.

Right. Anyway,
he's selling the building.

- What?
- Yep.

- What's that mean?
- Our lease is up end of summer.

Most likely we'll have to move.

I think it could be a good thing.

A new place, a new start.
Leave all these bad memories behind.

Kind of perfect in a way.

Whatever happens with our marriage
has nothing to do with where we live.

So, what about everybody else?

Their lease is up, they move.
I don't know, and I don't care.

I'm just trying to look at the future
as an opportunity for us.

- I know we have to work at it.
- Good.

Tonight we have the marriage counsellor.

I'm looking forward to it.

It's really too bad.
It was so great here for a while.

Yeah.

Thank you, bye-bye.

- Cecily, do you have messages for me?
- Oh, sure, here you go.

Thanks.

- Excuse me. Alison, isn't it?
- Yeah.

I'm Brett Nelson, creative executive.
I came aboard when you were away.

I did Eat More Breakfast
and Precious Angel shoes.

- I oversee other accounts.
- I know.

Listen to me spouting off my resume.

I didn't mean to sound
like I was trying to impress you.

- Is there something I can do for you?
- Yeah, yeah, of course.

- You left the original in the feeder.
- Oh, thanks.

It was nice to meet you, and I didn't
mean to sound like I was bragging.

No, you weren't.
It's nice to meet you too.

OK.

- Bye.
- Bye.

- Alison, do you have a second?
- Sure.

I hate to ask for a favour,

but I never expected
or wanted this pregnancy,

but now that it's here...

Really, I know how hard
it must be for you too.

But what I need more than anything while
I'm going through this is a friend.

Do you think that's possible?

Of course. I'll do my best.

Amanda, will you and Alison
come into my office, please?

On our way.

Thanks. I'm glad we talked.

Yeah.

Well, let's see
what Lucy's got for us now.

OK.

Come in.

Oh, good. Please sit, sit.

I have some great news.
Well, at least it's interesting news.

My husband and his board of directors

asked if I would oversee the operation
of his company in Honolulu.

I've accepted,
which means I'm leaving D & D.

Oh, my God. Well, that's great.
Congratulations.

- Wonderful.
- Thank you.

Do you know who's taking your place?

D & D's upper management is culling

a few candidates
from within the company.

It won't be the same without you.

Thanks, Alison.

This is quite an opportunity
for both of you, though.

I think Amanda already realises that.

I sure do. How do you think it looks?

At this point,
it's between you and Brett Nelson.

- I just met him.
- He's not creative.

He steals accounts
from other agencies.

He brings in money.

I'd love to see you at my desk
and Alison in your position.

You'll have to impress
the boys upstairs.

And both of you have an opportunity
to really shine before I leave.

So please, remember, it's teamwork,

and people are watching.

- Michael.
- Hi.

Hi. Can I walk you in?

Sure.

Patient Sherry Malem
to pharmacy, third floor.

Patient Sherry Malem
to pharmacy, third floor.

I'm curious,

did you mean it the other day
when you said that you missed me?

Yes, I did. But I can't
do anything about it, Kimberly.

I'm not expecting anything.
I want us to figure out

what the rules
to this new relationship are.

I don't know, it's complicated.

I'm a grown-up.
I know it's complicated.

But let's try to work it out, OK?

I don't wanna lose
the best friend I have here.

I need some time, OK?

OK.

I'll see you on rounds.

We're seeing a marriage counsellor,

and he cancelled tonight's appointment.

If he can't even commit to that...

- Why? What was his excuse?
- The hospital. Who knows?

I mean, I don't even know
what to believe anymore.

He says the affair's over,
but I don't trust him.

I go through his wallet once a day,
looking for something.

God, I'm just so angry.
You have no idea, the thoughts I think.

Like what?

I'd like to beat the crap out of him.

I'd like to break a dish over his head.

I would like to kick his ass!

Oh, God, Jo,

how did this all get so messed up?

Oh, God, this happens.

I don't know if we're gonna make it.

I mean, how can you survive
a marriage without trust?

- Do you love him?
- I guess.

Yes. Yes, I do.

I haven't even told my mom
about what's going on.

Why not?

I guess because,
deep down inside, I feel ashamed.

You know, like I failed somehow.

You did not fail.

You did everything right.
Michael failed.

- Big-time. Don't you ever forget that.
- No, I know you're right.

You're free tonight.
Wanna grab some dinner?

- I would love to.
- OK.

No, Billy, pizza won't do.
Just come over.

I'm making something special.

Oh, hold on.
What's up?

I need to insert page 14
in that report I gave you.

- The machine messed up.
- I'll do it.

Thanks.

Sorry, Billy. So 6.30 OK?

OK, you can bring the wine.

- Hey, Alison.
- Hi.

Are you all right?

Yeah, I'm just a little preoccupied.

- A page got left out of my report.
- It's a good report.

The page with the teen demographics.

Thanks.

- So did you hear Lucy's leaving?
- Yeah, she told me.

She was special.
They'll have a hard time replacing her.

This is terrific. You've got
a great reputation around here.

- I didn't know.
- Yeah.

Among those of us who appreciate talent.

Thank you.

Alison, I hope
I'm not being too forward here,

but would you consider
going out for a drink tonight?

That's nice of you, but I...

I want the chance
to get to know you.

I have a feeling
we might be a lot alike.

- Why not?
- Great, I'll check with you later,

- and we can set it up.
- See you later.

OK. OK, see you later.

Reservation for Keith Gray.

Yes, sir.

Yes, here we are.

Will you be visiting Los Angeles
for business or pleasure?

Pleasure.
To propose to my girlfriend.

Well, may I ask, is it a surprise?

I think it's what she's always wanted.

You know, our honeymoon suite
is available.

Perfect.

The Ziggy cartoons are the best.

I think Amanda's great,
but she's a little intense.

Sometimes she smiles like she's
going to eat your head for breakfast.

- Well, she's a little defensive.
- I know, I'm sorry.

I think work should be fun,
not just politics.

I mean, come on, you gotta
admit it, sometimes she is a little...

How should I say it?
...strange.

- Maybe a little.
- So I'm not crazy after all?

No, but she does
try to be OK sometimes.

- It's just...
- What?

I have this roommate, Billy,
he's friend and roommate.

She dated him, even though I made
it clear that it was not cool with me.

You wanted your work
and home life separate.

So it turns into this whole big mess,
they're together,

they're breaking up,
he's mad at me, she's mad at me.

And I am blamed for the whole thing.

- She ate your head for breakfast.
- Every morning.

And just when
I think it is finally behind us,

Amanda shows up pregnant.
And it's Billy's.

Promise me you won't repeat
a word of this to anybody.

Oh, God, don't worry about it.
I won't say anything.

Besides, I don't think anyone's gonna
really buy Amanda as a mother, anyway.

Let's forget about her.
Let's talk about you.

- You want another drink?
- Oh, no, no.

Let's talk about it
while you walk me home.

- You're the boss.
- Yeah, right.

No, no, no, come on. I'm serious. No.

No, no. You know what I am?

- What?
- I am sincere, that's what.

- I am sincere.
- It's good to be sincere.

- Serious is very bad, though.
- Definitely.

OK, come on,
but you know you gotta admit,

wouldn't it be great to be
Amanda's equal at work

or to work for somebody
who respects you.

- Like you?
- Yes, like me.

I think we'd make a great team.

Well, thank you, Mr Nelson,
for a lovely evening.

But next time,
feed me, you cheapskate.

It's a deal.
But you think about what I said, OK?

- You're serious.
- Yes.

And sincere.

- Good night.
- Good night.

Who was that guy?
And what was he doing kissing you?

Alison.

- Do we have any ice cream?
- What's going on?

I'm living my life.

I thought you were having dinner
with "I Need a Man" Amanda.

- You're drunk.
- Yeah. Shocking, isn't it?

Why did you leave me, Alison?

Why did you leave?

I was so good to you.

You shouldn't have left me, Alison.

Good night, sweetheart.

Sleep tight.

I'll be seeing you soon.

It's been a month since I told Terrence
I didn't want to marry him.

- I'm afraid he won't ask me again.
- Well, is that what you want?

When he first asked me
it was way too soon.

I didn't know if I was
in love with him.

I'd never been in love.

But now, when I close my eyes

and I visualise the person
I want to be with,

the man I see is Terrence.

He's it.
He just knew before I did.

What's the problem?

Well, once he told me
I was right to have said no.

That we were moving too fast,

that when the time was right
we'd both know it.

You've got your mind made up,
Mrs Haggard.

Yeah, I just hope
he hasn't changed his for good.

Excuse me.
Can I help you?

- No, thanks, I got it.
- What are you doing?

- This place isn't for sale.
- We just got the listing yesterday.

I don't believe this.

The owner wouldn't sell
without informing us.

Well, it's not up to him, sweetheart.

This property just
went into foreclosure.

Please remind me never to drink again.

- Here you go.
- Thanks.

- I'm sorry about last night.
- It's OK.

I saw some strange guy walking you
to the door, and I was jealous.

Good. The truth is,
I hoped you would be.

Everything's messed up.
I don't have a right...

No, no, you know,
I should have seen it coming.

Whenever I think the pieces
of my life are falling into place,

something comes to blow it to bits.

Maybe I was born with some
genetic aversion to happiness.

That's not true.

Yeah?

- What's up?
- You won't believe this.

- They're selling the building.
- What?

- What does that mean?
- It depends who buys it.

Everything could stay the way it is,
or maybe it will go condo.

No way, they can't do that.

The way my life's been going,
they probably will.

If you'll all excuse me,
I'm going to work.

- Is she OK?
- Sort of. I'll be back in a sec.

Alison, wait up.

Hey, I don't want you to feel bad.

What can I do?

Come here.

I've got to get to work.

Amanda, pass these.
Unfortunately, Colormat's sales

have not registered much of a gain
since our first national media buy.

My impression is that we had an approach
that was just too sophisticated.

I have the world's worst hangover.

- We have a lot of work ahead of us...
- Sorry.

- What's that?
- Aspirin.

I'll need reviews on prospective
and current clients and campaigns.

I'd prefer that you all hold off
on vacations until after I'm gone.

Excuse me, but what about
Amanda's maternity leave?

- Excuse me?
- Well, this is certainly a surprise.

I don't know where you get information,
but this is news to me.

I'm sorry. Something I heard
through the grapevine.

Let's get on with the analysis
of this Colormat campaign.

Alison.

- I think we need to talk in private.
- Sure.

- What are you trying to do to me?
- I was drunk last night.

It must have slipped out.
I feel terrible, I'm sorry.

Did you hear Lucy?
Together, we'll move up.

- I thought you understood.
- I do.

What you did
could sabotage both of us.

I think you're blowing this
out of proportion.

No one in this company is gonna want
to give a pregnant woman a promotion.

- They'll never admit it.
- But you denied it.

- Nobody believed it.
- Everyone will talk.

- Sometimes that's all it takes.
- I'm sorry.

- I can't believe he said anything.
- I can. I know Brett's type.

Despite what he promised you,

if he gets that promotion,
he won't be taking you with him.

That was a lousy move
you made in there today.

- Totally without class.
- Actually, I thought you'd enjoy it.

Is everything business to you?

I thought last night
was supposed to be fun.

I didn't realise you were
with me to get dirt on Amanda.

Not true.

Listen, Alison, why don't we just?

Why don't we just forget about Amanda?

I mean, you and I,
we could be a great team,

in more ways than one.

Oh, Brett, keep away from me.

God! Keep away from me!

- Hi.
- Hi.

- Thanks for meeting me.
- Sure. So, what's up?

It's Alison.

She's going around the company
telling everyone I'm pregnant.

Really? That doesn't sound like her.

Under the circumstances,
this is tough on her.

It's tough on all of us.

I just wish she'd be a little more
respectful of my privacy.

All right, I'll try and talk to her.

I never used to notice
little kids before,

but now that I'm going to have a baby
it's all I see.

It's weird, the way your perspective
on life can change so quickly.

Tell me about it.

- Can I ask you something?
- Sure.

Why do you want this kid?

Well, I've thought about it myself.

I guess I know myself
well enough to realise

that because I'm so ambitious,

it would be easy for me to miss out on
something as important as being a mom.

I don't want to look back one day
and regret the fact

- that I let this slip away.
- There's plenty of time.

I've made my decision, Billy.

However, I can't let my promotion
be jeopardised.

- Understand?
- Absolutely.

Thank you.

Well, I better get back to work.

- I guess I'll talk to you later.
- OK.

Bye.

D & D Advertising, can I help you?
One moment please.

Amanda, can I talk to you privately
for a minute, please?

- Sure.
- Thanks.

I'm sorry.
You were right about everything.

Really?

Can I tape this moment for posterity?

Brett is a complete jerk.
I shouldn't have trusted him.

We've got to pull together.

I want you to know
that I'm behind you all the way.

- It's to your benefit also.
- Believe me, I realise that.

This is a tough choice for me, Amanda.

But I'm honest,
and I don't play games.

And when I say I'm with you,
I'm with you 100 per cent.

- Then we've got a lot to do.
- Well, I'm here as long as it takes.

It's good to have you back on the team.

Let's get busy.

Oh, God, I hate the idea
of looking for an apartment.

We're never going to find places
like ours for this kind of money.

Trust me, I've been there.

Unless, of course,
we decide to move in together.

Really?

I thought you... you know,
liked your independence.

I do.

I'm not proposing.

I'm just thinking

we spend so many nights
together anyway,

why not?

I don't know.

Scares you, doesn't it?

- No.
- Yes, it does.

Matter of fact, I don't think I've ever
met a woman more afraid of intimacy.

- Jake, that's not true.
- OK, fine.

Forget I mentioned it.

- Well, let me think about it.
- Fine.

You think about it.

Maybe we should think about dinner.

It's got to be close to 8.00.

What do you say?

Alison, can you come here a minute?

Sure. What is it?

I don't know, I don't know!
I just have this pain in my side.

Just sit down.
Sit down, sit down.

Alison, Alison!
We've got to do something.

- Something's wrong.
- It's all right.

- Something's wrong.
- It's all right.

I have an emergency, I need an ambulance
at 14056 Wilshire Boulevard.

D & D Advertising.
Immediately. Please.

All right. Thank you.
It's OK, it's OK.

It's OK, it's OK.

Dr Hayes to Physical Therapy.

Dr Hayes to Physical Therapy.

- Hey.
- Hi.

So, what happened?
Is she OK?

She's in her room.
They're going to keep her overnight.

She had a tubal pregnancy, Billy.

It never had a chance.
It could never have been a baby.

The operation only took about an hour.
She was in a lot of pain, but she's OK.

Well, I need to see her.

Come on, I'll go with you.

Dr Phillips, 5714. Dr Phillips, 5714.

I think maybe I should see her alone.

Oh, sure, of course.

- What room is she in?
- 516.

- OK, I'll see you in a little bit.
- OK.

Dr Brad to X-ray. Dr Brad to X-ray.

- How you doing?
- Not so hot.

But Alison's been great.

She called 911, got the ambulance,
she stayed with me.

I'm really sorry, Amanda.

I know this is...

It must be so hard.

Life is full of
unpleasant surprises, isn't it?

I guess in the long run
this is for the best.

I mean, you don't love me, do you?

- Amanda...
- God, what was I thinking?

We couldn't raise a child.
You have to want that.

You can't force it on someone.

Hey, you gave me a lot
of opportunities to duck out,

but I didn't,

because I wanted
to be a part of this.

I'm not going to duck out
on you now, either.

- Hi.
- Hi.

Come on in.

- I'm heading home.
- Thank you for everything, Alison.

- You've been wonderful.
- You're welcome. It's nothing.

Billy, are you ready to leave, or?

- I think I'm gonna stay here a while.
- All right.

I'll see you both later then.
If you need anything, call.

Bye.

- I'm glad you're staying.
- So am I.

Poor Amanda.
That's just terrible.

Yeah. You know what?

When I was waiting for Billy,

I kept thinking,
"It's fixed." You know?

"Amanda's not pregnant anymore.

Billy and I can be together again."

I had this secret happiness

during this horrible thing for Amanda.

- Don't feel guilty about it.
- I didn't have a chance to.

When Billy got there,
I was invisible.

He ran to Amanda's room
to comfort her,

and when I left,
he barely looked at me.

- Really?
- Hey, how are ya?

- Hi.
- Where's my coffee?

- It's in the pot, big boy.
- Great, great.

She gets back into photography,
and I don't get breakfast.

Oh, God, that reminds me,
I have to get going.

- We didn't get a chance to finish.
- Oh, no, that's fine.

You should take one of the guys
from the shop with you.

I'm doing this photo documentary
down on skid row,

and he thinks
I'm gonna get kidnapped.

I'm just saying
it's a dangerous part of town.

I'm from New York.
Don't worry about me.

Well, I do worry about you, OK?

- Be careful.
- I'll be careful.

All right.
The motorcycles are calling me.

- Bye-bye.
- Bye.

See ya.

- I better get going too.
- OK, we'll talk later.

Jake really cares about you.
It must be nice.

Yeah, it is nice.

As long as he doesn't crowd me.
A woman's got to breathe.

- Yeah, I know. Take care.
- Bye.

Good morning, D & D Advertising.
One moment, please.

- Alison?
- Lucy, hi.

I just talked to Amanda in the hospital
She told me she's coming home today.

She also mentioned
you were a big help.

I feel really sorry for her.
It's a horrible thing to happen.

Yeah, it was.
But there was some good in it.

You worked together
to keep that secret from me.

Team loyalty. I like it.

And the cold hard facts are
that, if Amanda's not pregnant,

she's got a much better chance
at taking my job.

- These came for you, Alison.
- Oh, look at that.

I wonder who they're from.
There's no card.

- Well, open it!
- OK.

God. Here. Get rid of them.

- Who could do this?
- It's just a prank.

Oh, but why? What did I do?

- Your license and registration.
- Sure. What did I do?

You failed to signal changing lanes.

I signalled.

My right blinker's broken.
My boyfriend said he was gonna fix it.

- Your license and registration, please.
- Sure, sure.

Take your hand out of the purse.
Take the purse off slow.

Put it down. Set it down.
I want you on your knees.

Put your hands behind your head.
Behind your head!

You have the right to remain silent.

Anything you say can and will be
used against you in a court of law.

You have the right to an attorney.

You have the right to have an attorney
present during questioning.

This is so stupid. A woman has to
protect herself. The police don't.

What if I had to
use the automatic teller?

- Turn to your right, please.
- I do get my gun back?

In about a week.

My rights have been violated.

The Constitution gives permission
to bear arms.

- Not concealed, it doesn't.
- I neglected to wear my holster.

You're failing to realise
the gravity of this situation.

You know how many officers
get murdered?

- I don't.
- Let me tell you something.

Next time you're stopped with a weapon,
tell the officer you're holding

because not everybody's gonna be
as friendly as I was.

- Yes, I understand.
- Good.

I'll see you in court.

- Thanks for coming down.
- How could you be so stupid?

- I thought you got rid of the gun.
- I didn't.

I don't know what's worse,
bailing you out of jail

- or that you lied to me.
- Get back to me when you figure it out.

You told me you got rid of the gun.
You promised.

At least they confiscated the thing.

I'll get it back next week.

- Come on, you can't be serious.
- Perfectly.

- You're just being stubborn.
- No, I'm just being me.

Look, Jo, I don't know if I want
to live with someone who has a gun.

Well, you don't, do you?

Michael?

Yeah, in here, honey.

The way you sounded
I thought the building was on fire.

Sorry, I had to get you home somehow.

I'm taking you away tonight.

Someplace incredibly romantic
that Kay told me about.

- You spoke to Kay?
- To get you the day off.

- I don't know, I've got...
- Please, Jane, give me a chance.

- Let me grab some of my stuff.
- No need. I've got us all packed.

Your favourite dress, favourite jeans,
favourite perfume.

One night isn't going to change things.

No, but it can be a start.

We'll see.

- Take it easy.
- I'm not that delicate.

I say I should go to work
and see what's going on.

You've just had surgery.
You need to rest.

I can make us something to eat.

That hospital food almost killed me.

That's it.
Here, come on, lie down.

If anybody makes you lunch,
it's going to be me.

Thank you. You're being very sweet.
But what about your job?

- Aren't they going to be mad at you?
- No, they gave me the day off.

Kind of a family emergency.

Family, that's nice.

Hi, it's Billy.
I'm still at Amanda's.

She needs the company.
Come on over if you'd like.

- She's...
- No, thank you.

Cheers.

Hello?

Who is this?

Brett, this isn't funny, damn it!

Damn.

I'm watching you.

Listen, you piece of trash.
I've already called the cops.

Dial this number one more time,
and you are going to jail.

So...

...there's nothing more I can say
than I'm sorry.

I made a huge mistake,
one I'll always regret.

And I hope that if you can still connect

to that part of you
that fell in love with me,

then maybe you can forgive me.

Michael, you have no idea
how humiliating this has been for me.

Don't you realise how much it hurts me
to have caused you pain?

- Terribly. I'm miserable.
- It's not the same.

- I just want to start trusting you.
- And you will.

Little by little.

And a few years from now,
when I'm a surgeon,

and we have a big beautiful house
overlooking the entire city

and lots of children,
lots of wonderful children,

you won't even remember
any of this ever happened.

I hope not.

Will you believe in me again?

I love you, honey.

Please... believe in me.

Yes.

Yes, I will.

God, I've missed you.

I want you, I want you.

Now.

- Who is it?
- It's me.

What's going on?

- Why do you have the chain on?
- I just... Forget it.

Sorry I'm late.
Amanda just wouldn't let me leave.

Do you even hear what you're saying?

You can't just run
from Amanda's bed to mine.

- I wasn't in her bed. I was on her bed.
- It doesn't matter.

I'm talking about your emotions, Billy.
Where your heart is.

I'm sorry, but it doesn't feel
like it's here.

- How can you tell me what I'm feeling?
- I can't.

But I can tell you what I feel.

Alone, like I can't count on
anyone anymore, not even you.

- That's not true, you can count on me.
- As a roommate.

Once the building's sold, who knows?
Maybe we won't even have that.

Maybe I should have
stayed in Seattle.

There was somebody there who loved me
and cared about me and supported me,

who I honestly think would've
laid down his life for me.

Why I ever left that
to come back to this, I will never know.

- Would you come here?
- Don't.

Good night, Billy.

I'm hinting and I still can't
get Terrence to pop the question.

It sounds to me
like you're gonna have to ask him.

Hey, Matt, there are some things
that just are the man's job.

Didn't he do that?
I remember some singers out by the pool,

- Terrence down on one knee.
- I know, all right.

But I just can't ask him straight-out.
I've got to figure something out.

- Does Terrence like Chinese?
- Yeah, I guess. I don't know.

I think I got an idea.

I can't believe it.
This is so wonderful!

- Do I call you Ms Vice President?
- I don't think so.

You're gonna be my right-hand woman,
with a much bigger cubicle.

There's at least two square feet
of wiggle room in there.

I want to thank you for
sticking by me through all of this.

- I won't forget it.
- It's no problem.

As for Billy, whatever happens,
we leave it at the door.

- Deal?
- Deal.

Good. Let's get back to work.

Damn it!

What is it?

- Who would have done this?
- I think I have a pretty good idea.

Under 30 is 83, over 30 is 50s...

I've had it, Brett.
No more, you hear me? No more!

- Alison, what is this?
- You tell me, you slug.

Understand this,
if I get one more card,

flower arrangement
or any harassment from you,

I'm bringing charges with the company
and I'm calling the police.

I had nothing to do with this.

You must have double-crossed
somebody else besides me.

You think this is funny?

I guarantee you, it is not.

Somebody is scaring the hell out of me,
and I want it stopped.

Honestly, I had nothing to do with this.

I would never do anything like this.

Thanks for taking
some time for me, Michael.

I enjoy spending time with you.
It's not a chore.

Thanks.

I just...

I just want you to know
that I don't expect anything.

I'm willing to be friends
and leave it at that, if you are.

How do you feel
about sleeping with a married man

that plans on staying that way?

That wouldn't be so good for me,
would it?

I can't leave Jane now.
It would destroy her.

- Do you think you'll ever leave her?
- I don't know. I really don't.

But I keep having these flashes of us

in bed together all the time.

We have a passion
I never had with Jane or anyone.

I just can't leave this alone, Kimberly,

no matter how hard I try.

So, what are you doing tonight?

- Depends.
- On what?

You.

Escapade Magazine.
Billy Campbell? One moment.

- Billy Campbell.
- It's me.

- Hi, Amanda. How're you feeling?
- I'm fine.

I've been trying to reach you all day.
I have got some great news.

I was doing research.
What's happening?

Well, I got the promotion, that's what.

- I take over Lucy's job next month.
- Good for you. Congratulations.

Thank you.
Tonight you and I celebrate, all right?

- Yeah, yeah. Could you hold on a sec?
- Sure.

- Billy Campbell.
- Hi, Billy. It's me.

Hey, Alison, listen...

Listen, I am completely freaking out.

Things are happening, and I have got
to talk to you tonight, OK?

Does this have to do
with Amanda's promotion?

- No. How did you hear about that?
- I talked to Amanda earlier.

Well, this is important.

OK, I'll meet you
at Shooters at 7.00.

Thanks, bye.

Amanda? I'm sorry.
That was my boss.

She wants me to work late,
so could we do this sometime next week?

Sure. That's fine.
Don't worry about it.

OK. I'll talk to you later, bye.

Bye.

Alison,

why don't you take
the rest of the day off?

No, that's all right. I just need
to air this out with somebody.

Billy's gonna meet me
after work, so I'll be fine.

Oh. That's good.
He'll make you feel better.

Yeah.

- Oh, this is delicious.
- Oh, I'm glad you like it.

This is great.
We haven't had Chinese

since we ate out of those cartons
in my fridge.

If you hadn't been so athletic
till 3.00 in the morning,

we could have gotten
something decent to eat.

What, are they rushing us here?
Stop complaining, just pick one.

"He who has friends is always wealthy."

No! Here choose mine.

OK.

"Every misstep brings more wisdom."

What is wrong?
Can't they get anything right?

The rice was a little soggy,
but the rest of it...

I put a message in a cookie for you,
just from me to you

because I couldn't say it to your face,
and now it's no surprise,

- and I'll never pull it off.
- Rhonda, you can talk to me.

I love you.

Terrence Haggard, will you marry me?

I thought you'd never ask.

Man, this is so sick.

I'm gonna talk to Brett
and get him to stop this crap.

Billy, I don't know what to do.
I mean, I can't prove it's Brett.

He sounded really sincere
when he denied it.

I guess the bottom line is that I'm
feeling vulnerable these days.

Things are crazy,
but I'm straightening it out.

I just don't know if I can
live with you like this.

I respect that you have
feelings for Amanda,

but I can't pretend
it doesn't hurt me.

You think I forgot the night we spent
together, the year, our friendship?

I mean, you mean everything to me.
All right?

You gotta let me get
some resolution with Amanda,

and then we'll start again.
I promise.

I'll try, but I'm only human.

I mean, having you here one minute
then feeling you gone the next...

I'm crazy about you.

You know what I'd like to do
more than anything tonight?

Rent an old movie
and eat a bowl of popcorn?

You read my mind.

I'll run down to the video store,
and I'll be back before you know it.

- Hurry.
- OK.

Throw this away.

Dr South to radiology.
Dr South to radiology.

I can't believe it.
He was just going to the store.

Who would want to do something
like this to Billy?

There are a lot of sickos.
You can't be too careful.

We were supposed to be out
celebrating my new promotion.

We'd probably be out
dancing right now.

When I heard that ambulance
I couldn't believe it was for Billy.

Alison, isn't that?

Keith?

- What are you doing here?
- I'm just in town on business.

I dropped by your apartment
and I heard what happened.

- Is he OK?
- We don't know.

I feel so stupid holding onto these.
I brought them for you.

- Maybe we can give them to Billy.
- Thanks.

Well, it's good to see you.

Yeah, you too.

Though I guess my timing
couldn't be worse.

Hey, everybody, I've got some news.

- How is he?
- First of all, he's gonna be OK.

- Anything broken?
- When can I see him?

Hold on, you two. He's got contusions,
a broken rib, a slight concussion,

- nothing serious.
- Thank God.

- Is he conscious?
- He's talking to a police officer now.

- We wanna see him.
- Fine.

No more than two at a time
and only a few minutes.

What he needs now is rest.

- Let's go.
- OK, this way.

Dr Levin 3367.
Dr Levin 3367.

Excuse me. Could you tell me
where I might find Dr Kimberly Shaw?

- Let me locate her for you.
- Thank you.

Billy, I'm so happy you're all right.

Hey.

Hey, you look great.

- Thanks for coming, you guys.
- How do you feel?

Like I got hit by a train.

Honestly, I have no idea what hit me.

I was talking to this cop.
I couldn't answer a thing.

That's awful. You're lucky.
It could've been worse.

Yeah, I guess.

Billy, I'm sorry.
I feel responsible.

Like whoever's making
those phone calls did this.

Don't be ridiculous.
It's just a bizarre coincidence.

- I hope so.
- What are you talking about?

Never mind.

- So when can you go home?
- I'd like to right now.

But they want to keep me overnight
for observation.

I don't know,
I guess it's just procedure.

You'll be surprised how much better
you'll feel after a good night's rest.

It's great to have both of you here.

It really means a lot.
I mean it.

- OK, very good.
- Great.

Kimberly.

- May I have a word with you?
- What are you doing here?

Billy was mugged.
He's in the hospital.

- Oh, my God. Is he all right?
- He will be.

But as long as I was here, I thought
maybe we could have a little chat.

I really can't.
I've gotta get up to surgery.

No, you'll listen to me.

Do you see this, Kimberly?

This signifies something.
Commitment. Trust.

A bond between two people.
Not just sex.

But a deep and abiding love
and friendship.

Something you could never understand.

Jane, it's not how you think.
The circumstances...

Michael and I, we needed
each other in a way that...

There's no point in explaining.
I have to get back to work.

I am not finished.

What are you after, Jane?
An apology of some sort?

Not at all. I just wanted to tell you
that I think you are disgusting.

I hope that if you ever
find a man of your own,

that some pathetic bitch will come along
and hurt you the way you have hurt me.

Jane.

- Jane!
- What?

It's not over.

- What?
- I just thought you should know.

- I don't believe you.
- Oh, believe it.

Michael told me all about
your night at the hotel.

But don't think that means
he's going to give me up.

I'm sorry.

- I'm really sorry.
- Don't be.

Because if what you're saying is true,
he's all yours.

I'm getting a divorce.

Here I am, lying in this bed, like you,
and I get obsessed with the fact

that printed on every sheet
is this logo, "Rented, never sold".

I'm thinking, who wants to buy
these lousy sheets, anyway?

It hurts.

Yeah, I remember that from
when I was in the hospital too.

I mean, why do they rent them?

- They might as well just buy them.
- No, they are never sold, Billy.

- Never, ever sold.
- Look, I think we better go.

- I mean, you need your rest.
- Yeah, I guess I do.

- Yeah, sleep well.
- Sleep well.

Thanks again.
I'll see you tomorrow.

- OK.
- Good night.

Good night.

Oh, God. I forgot my purse.
Go on ahead, I'll be back in a minute.

Sorry, I forgot my purse.

Billy, I wanna be here for you,

the way that you were there for me.

- Thank you.
- I know you have feelings for Alison,

but I want you to understand
that no matter what,

I love you.

I really do.

And I have got a big surprise for you
when you get out.

- What?
- I can't tell.

- Come on, give me a hint.
- No, you'll see.

But I think you're gonna like it,
a lot.

I am exhausted.

When something like this happens
it's just so traumatic for everyone.

Yeah, I know what you mean.

I can't wait to get to bed.
So your place or mine?

That's a good question.

Which is it gonna be?

Jake, I've thought about this,
all right? I have.

And I'm just not ready to move in
with anyone yet.

Not now.

I just got out of a really bad marriage.
I need some time on my own.

You have to learn
to trust somebody sometime.

This, what we have,

that's all the commitment
I'm ready to make.

Look, Jo, if they sell the building
and we go our separate ways,

I think I might be ready
to see other people.

That's all the commitment
I'm ready to make.

- You're saying that out of spite.
- No, because that's how I feel.

All right, fine. Have fun.

I think I'll get a ride home with Matt.

Boy, does this feel like deja vu,
or what?

Listen, I am sorry
about the way we ended.

I know I did it the wrong way,
coming here and calling you

to say I wasn't coming back.
It was immature and inconsiderate.

Come on, that's all in the past.

Not that I wasn't upset and hurt.
But I'm over it, Alison.

I realise now what a mistake it was,

rushing you into the move
up to Seattle.

I got homesick. I wasn't ready.
It happened too fast.

I understand.
I was only thinking of myself.

You have a life here, Alison.
A wonderful life.

Well, I don't know how wonderful
it's been lately.

Want one?

Since when do you drink?

This past week. It's been awful.
All these weird things are happening.

Like what?

Somebody's after me, Keith.

Some weirdo.

He sent me roses at work,
spray painted black.

And obscene cards,
and he's even got my phone number.

This is terrible.

Think this has anything to do
with what happened to Billy?

Oh, I hope not.

But it's really beginning
to frighten me.

Don't worry.

You're safe now.

Everything's gonna be fine.

I'm glad you let me pick you up.
I thought Amanda would be out front.

She said she had some business thing
this afternoon.

It's so nice her priorities
are in order.

Yeah, so did Keith
drive you home last night?

- How long did he stay?
- Long enough to make sure I was safe.

Yeah, I bet.

Come on, I can't believe
we're back to this.

Alison, Billy!

- What are you doing here?
- My big surprise.

I'm buying the building.
Dad and I are buying the building.

But I'm gonna live here
and manage the place.

I don't believe it.

Yeah, this is... This is...

Wonderful, isn't it?

Great investment.
Great friends.

I think I'm really gonna love it here.
