Oh, my God.

Good morning, handsome.

What did I do?
I am married. I am...

I know you are, but
you were with me,

and I care about you and

we shared something that was...

it was magical.

And it changed things.

What happened last night
meant a lot to me, too,

but that doesn't change the fact that
I've got this ring on my finger.

You know? And I
don't feel magical,

I don't feel warm,
I don't feel anything but...

that I'm like a snake,
like I'm...

I'm, like, the lowest
thing on the planet.

And I wanna find Sam.

What do you mean?

Billy, you're not gonna
tell her, are you?

Don't go crazy.

I don't know.

No. Maybe.

I just gotta be with her.

I have to go find
her in San Diego

'cause that's where I belong.

Where's my shirt?

I am wearing it, silly.

You said I could when I
got cold last night.

I'll take it off
if you want me to.

I need it back.
Okay.

Take it off in the bathroom.

Hurry up.

Billy, I will handle this
however you want me to,

but as your friend,

I think you should
play this carefully.

We'll just go back and

act like it never happened.

Yeah.

I just don't wanna look back
on this as a bad thing.

That's all I ask.

It's our memory.

And a good one.

And a private one.

Okay?

Okay, that'd probably be best.

I know it is.

Jeff: When you're a
little more conscious

there is scrambled eggs with
cream cheese and chives,

toasted baguettes, strawberries,

and anything else
your little heart desires

right over there on that cart.

I have everything my heart
desires right here.

I can't wait until
you're Mrs. Jeff Baylor.

Yeah.

Oh.
I don't know.

Sam, what is it?

Nothing, I'm just hungry is all.

Sam.

I should call Billy
and, and, and find out

what happened at
the awards dinner.

Look, Sam, look,
I am sorry, okay?

I didn't mean to spoil things,

but I can't hide my feelings.

I love you.
You know that, right?

More than anyone
in my entire life.

Me, too.

Billy, on answering machine: Sorry we
can't come to the phone right now,

but Sam or Billy
will call you back

if you leave a message
after the beep.

Hi.
It's me, I was just wondering

how it went last night.

I guess I'll catch up
with you at work.

Hey.

I tried to catch you at the
apartment this morning,

but you'd already left.

Getting to work awfully
early, aren't you?

What if I am?
It's none of your business.

You can't avoid me
forever, Amanda.

I don't see why not.

'Cause we're married?

An unpleasant fact.
Especially for you.

I don't think so. I know
we belong together.

That's because you're too
blind to see who I really am.

No, see, I see
who you really are.

I see an intelligent, beautiful
woman who blames herself

for a death that wasn't her...

It was my fault.
You said so yourself.

And don't expect me to
fall for this new line

just because you're sentimental
or you, you need to get laid

all of a sudden.

For God sakes, Amanda,
you know better than that.

Like hell I do. You know, when
I finally realized who I was,

it made me see everyone
else a whole lot clearer.

Please go.

No. Agree to
see me again.

Do you want me to call security?
No, what I want...

I want one night for the two
of us together at the club.

So we can remember what we had
and what we were to each other.

And if I say yes,
will you leave me alone?

Promise me.

Promise.

Now, get the hell out of here.

It'll be a good time.
Now.

Good morning, Billy. Hi.

You look like
you had quite a night.

Jennifer, are you
just now getting home?

Long story, Megan, and I really
don't wanna talk about it.

All right.
What's going on?

Okay, but, Megan, this is
major mouth-shut time.

You understand?

Mmm-hmm.

Promise.

Okay.

Well?

It's...
it's complicated.

Everything is.

Okay, uh...

You saw Billy come in...
Yes.

And then me.
Yes.

Uh, well...

last night, we, uh, we went
to this thing, and, uh...

I slept with him.

Made love. In a
hotel, the two of us.

He's married to my friend.

Well, she might not
be my friend anymore.

I, I mean,

she still trusts me,
but if Billy spills,

big mess, but, but it's a
big mess anyway, isn't it?

You and Billy?
God, yes, it is.

Just...

take it from me, okay?

The last person you wanna be is
the other woman in a marriage.

Just look at it like a train wreck
and walk away and stay away.

But, Megan, I love him.

A hell of a lot more than
Sam does, that's for sure.

You don't know that.

Yes, I do.

What are you talking about?

It's just that I know
how I feel about Billy,

and Sam couldn't possibly
feel the same way about him.

Hello?

Samantha, on phone: Oh, hi, Jennifer,
it's Sam. I'm glad I caught you.

Hey, Sam.

Did everything work out?

Yeah, yeah, it did. I need
to know what happened

at the award ceremony
last night.

What?

Did we win?

Oh, yeah.
Yeah, you did.

Oh, that's great.
That's really great.

All right, we need to throw
Billy some kind of celebration.

He needs to feel appreciated.

Samantha: And you should come, too. We'll
throw him a thing downstairs from the office.

After all you, you took
my place last night.

Yeah, I guess I really
did take your place.

Samantha: All right,
I'll see you soon. Bye.

Just know you may never
take her place.

I don't know, Megan.

Things happen.

Oh, Taylor, Taylor, you know, I don't
mind saving your life and all,

but I really don't need
a roommate right now.

So, I'd appreciate it if
you'd pack up your troubles

in your old kit bag and
get the hell out of here.

Gee, Michael, I'd like to.

I mean, you've been
a really lousy host.

But I'm still a little
woozy from my head injury.

Oh, get real, I got home yesterday,
you were running on the beach.

Okay, I was feeling
a little bit better.

But I'm afraid that Nick
is still out there.

And what is to stop him from trying
to find me and kill me again?

Hey, what the hell do you want me to do
about it, huh? He's your murder plot buddy.

Besides, you know,
I got problems of my own.

You know I've had more
marriages than King Fahd.

And my clinic is falling
apart around me.

If I don't get down
there right now,

the pathetic patients that
do show up will slither back

into the gutter, and then I'll
really never get out of this hole.

Please, Michael, look,
I know that most,

Okay, all of what
has happened is my fault,

and I do deserve to suffer
some for what I did,

but you can't send me out there to
be beaten to death by some lunatic

who is a trained killer.

I'm gonna give you the number where
Nick was staying, the motel.

I want you to go down there, check around
for me, you know, the neighborhood, too.

And if Nick isn't around, I will be
out of here in a flash, I promise.

All right?

All right, all right.

I'm gonna have to find somebody
to cover the clinic for me.

Oh, thank you, Michael.
Again, you're a lifesaver.

But, Taylor, I'm only doing
this to get you out of here.

Burns-Cooper, good morning.

I'll never get used to hearing
my practice called that.

Michael, what do you want?

Look, Megan, I need a favor.

You have the wrong number.

Oh, come on, Megan, please, this
is an emergency. Don't hang up.

I wouldn't ask you otherwise.

Now, look I, I need you to go
down to the clinic for me.

Michael, if you remember,
I already did you a favor,

I set up that meeting with
Peter and you never showed.

Yeah, well, there were complications.
Look, Megan, this is different, okay?

I mean, my clinic is the
only one around for miles.

You know, the
neighborhood needs it.

And I promise, I will not
leave you stranded.

I'll be there
before you know it.

Come on, Megan.

People in that neighborhood,
they depend on me.

Michael, you better not
leave me stranded.

Don't worry. You can
count on me this time.

Samantha: So, these awards,
more than anything else,

are a testament of
Billy Campbell's leadership.

I mean, of course with
Amanda's guidance.

But in the end it's Billy that we
have to thank for the prestige

that he's brought to our company

Amanda, would you
like to say a word?

Not really.

Samantha: Okay. Uh, well then, why don't
we hear something from the man himself?

The number two man
in our company

and the number one
man in my life.

Okay, not in front of everybody.

Peter, I had
a great time tonight.

Dinner was wonderful.

I'm really glad
that you asked me out.

You feel like you're
17 again, huh?

Yeah.

Listen, I meant what I said in
Coop's office the other day.

I miss you.
I miss you like...

Come on, like what?

I don't know, like... like a
drowning man in the ocean

misses a 60 foot yacht with a big
private statesroom and silk sheets.

Yes, and nice music,
some tasteful wine.

Tasteful's good.
Yes.

Welcome aboard.

Hey, babe.

Thanks for watching
the place for me.

Michael, I am not
your babe. Okay?

Oh, sorry. You know
what I mean.

Anyway, I got a little held up,
but things look okay here.

That's because Megan was
resourceful enough to call in

a competent doctor to cover
for your pathetic butt.

Coop, you don't work here.
This is my clinic.

I decide who's gonna...

Michael, we were swamped with
patients, there was a flu scare,

and return patients
started showing up,

thank goodness Coop
was here to help.

Okay, but don't expect
to get paid or anything.

I'm not responsible
if you volunteered.

You know what? I don't
understand why this great woman

keeps saving your bacon. That's one
of the great mysteries of life to me

because you've gotta be the lowest
form of life I've come across

since the last time
I stepped on a slug.

Oh, really, then why don't you
get the hell out of here, huh?

Before I throw you out with the
rest of the medical waste.

You know, fine.

All right, all right. You know what? You
know what? We're leaving. All right?

No, Megan, Megan, look. Listen,
let that stiff-necked geek split,

but I thought I might take you out for
a drink, you know, to thank you...

Michael, I really don't think that's
appropriate. Coop, please stop.

Michael: Come on
Brett: The answer is no.

You got it? No now. No for the
rest of your useless life.

Megan, your boyfriend's
a little unstable here.

You know, it's simple, Megan.

If you can't shake this
piece of dirt loose,

I don't know what's gonna
happen between us.

Megan, Megan,

how about that drink?

You know, you are sick, Michael.

The word's "determined."

Still no sign of Amanda?

Not in the 2 minutes since
the last time you asked.

Well, I don't get it.
She promised she'd be here.

All day long she
doesn't take my calls.

For God sake's, Kyle, you
should just forget about Amanda

and start enjoying yourself.
We are having a great night.

Yeah.

Yeah, I'm gonna try to
call her one more time.

Ugh.

Hello?

Yeah, it's Kyle.
Can I talk to Amanda?

Oh, hi, Kyle.
Yeah, she's right here.

We're burning the
midnight oil...

Uh... you know what? She just stepped out.
She's um...

with a rep. She had a
late meeting with a rep.

You're a crappy liar, Samantha.

She's sitting right there,
isn't she?

No, honest.

Uh-huh.

Well, tell her she doesn't
have to go to all the trouble.

I knew she was lying
the whole time.

I'm sorry, I didn't know
you guys were having trouble.

Forget about it.
Let's get back to work.

So, he said he always
knew you were lying.

He sounded kind of hurt.
What's happening?

I've changed my mind.
You can go home.

Oh, come on, Amanda,
we're friends.

I don't have any friends
anymore,

and I don't need you
poking around my life.

I mean, aren't you busy with
your affair and your own lies?

If I were you,
I'd pay attention to that.

'Cause it'd be a shame if it got
out and blew up in your face.

Are you threatening me?

Just some friendly advice.

This is more like it.

Mmm, it feels good
waking up with you again.

Oh, my God.

What?
Oh, man, I'm late.

I'm late.
Look at this suit.

Yeah, well, it was
sure fun messing it up.

Oh, yeah, it was deep,
earth-shaking, life-affirming,

but the reality is I got
a staff meeting, kid.

Hell, fun is good enough
for me now.

I gotta get back up to Malibu, change and
back to the hospital in light speed.

So, drive carefully, I want you
in back in my bed in one piece.

Mmm-hmm.
See you later.

Oh, always nice to see true
love blossoming in the morning.

Yeah, well, morning.

Hey, Coop, we gotta talk about some
Sterling-Conway business this afternoon.

Yeah, I better go.

Call me at the office.

Well, isn't this a cozy group?

I hope you're not
planning on moving in.

We don't allow
dogs on the property.

Real nice, Amanda.

I can have anybody I want
in my apartment, Amanda.

Just keep him out of my sight.

Hey.

Got some exercise, huh?
That's a good sign.

No, just torturing myself.

You know, if your not coming to the
club last night was to make a point,

you made it,

but I want you to
understand something.

No matter what you do to hurt me or
how much you try to hide from me,

you and I are married forever,

and nothing you do
can change that.

Don't bet on it.

Madam office manager.

As your employer,
as well as your physician,

and not to mention
your love interest,

I would like to propose a toast.

To the most beautiful, compassionate
and understanding woman

in the world.

That's you.

Okay, it's not even lunchtime...

it's hardly time for cocktails.
What is going on?

Well, as my dearly departed
grandmother used to say,

it's always past 5:00 somewhere
in the world, darling,

so, it's never too
early for cocktails.

Anyway, it's our 6-month
anniversary.

No, I think it's more
like 4 and a half months.

So what's really going on here?

You haven't said anything about
my little, uh, explosion

at Michael's clinic.

Oh, come on, he gets on my nerves, too.
Believe me, I understand.

No, no, but it's
more than that, it's...

I love you, Megan, I do, and...

and I get nuts when I see him
trying to pull you back in,

and that is what
he's trying to do.

But still, I, I shouldn't
flip out like that,

and then I feel you
tense up this morning

when we walked passed Lexi.

Oh, come on, it's a little
knee-jerk jealousy.

Yeah, that's exactly my point.

We've got too many
relationship ghosts around us.

There's not much
we can do about that.

Well, actually, I'm working on
something that might fix everything,

but I don't wanna tell you
about it until I know more.

What is this, some kind of
murder plot or something?

Well, it crossed my mind,
but it's way too messy.

Anyway, right now, to you,

to our future,

and to my promise to quit being
such a short-tempered jerk.

You are not a jerk.

You are gorgeous,
inside and out.

I could see it in
Megan's eyes, Jennifer,

that old feeling for me
still smolders in there.

There's nothing smoldering
about you in Megan's eyes

except maybe some
leftover disgust.

When are you gonna leave that
poor girl alone, Michael?

Never, little sister.

Because she and I are tied
by true love and experience.

Two things that you're just not
old enough to appreciate yet.

In every aspect but years I am
way older than you, Michael.

Hey, girlfriend.

Okay, feeling a little bit
on edge, are we?

Yeah, everything's just gotten
way too thick and complicated,

scary, all of a sudden.

What do you mean?

I feel like dirt, all right?

I'm cheating on my husband, and
the man that I'm cheating with

wants to be my husband, too.

He asked me to marry him, Jen.

Yup, I'm suicidal.

Was he serious?

Oh, very.

Can barely wait to call me Mrs.
Baylor.

My own heart is
tearing me to pieces.

I mean, I love Jeff,
and I love Billy,

and I'm so guilty,
and I'm so screwed up.

I'm trying to run away
from this marriage

that at the same time
I'm trying to save.

I just don't know
what I'm gonna do.

What am I gonna do?

Do you really
wanna know what I think?

Yeah, it's why I'm here.

Okay, I think it's time
that you make a choice.

I mean, even though Billy
doesn't know what's going on,

he's gotta be feeling
that something's wrong,

and it's gotta be hurting him.

I don't wanna hurt him.

I don't wanna hurt Billy, I don't wanna
hurt Jeff, I don't wanna hurt anybody.

Well, the only way to stop is

to leave.

What are you saying?

You wanna know what I think.

I think you should leave Billy.

I think it'd be best
for both of you.

Kyle: Come on, Jen, you've
got drink orders backing up.

Have you seen Taylor
or even heard from her?

No, not in a couple of days.

Well, I haven't either, and
I've tried calling her,

but she's disappeared.

Must make work life
a little easier, huh?

I don't think it's funny,
I'm really worried, Kyle.

Don't worry, she's fine, okay?

How do you know?

I mean, she always is, right?

I'm just saying she can take
care of herself. Look, uh...

I'll see you guys later.

I'll check around.

I'm sure she's fine.

What's going on? I thought
we were going for dinner.

Don't worry,
we'll get to dinner.

I got a little surprise for you.

You'll love it.
Trust me.

Peter: Lexi Sterling,
welcome home.

What?

Did some thinking today and I realized
where our problems came from.

You did?

Yeah, my old place had too many
bad memories for both of us.

And that crappy little apartment
you're living in now,

that's just below you, so I
bought this in both of our names.

It was a lease option, so the
paperwork was quick and bingo. Hmm?

Here we are in a bigger,
nicer place than before.

And a fresh start
for both of us.

Look at this view out here, huh?

I think those are the
lights of Honolulu.

Pretty pleased with
yourself, aren't you?

Well, shouldn't I be? I mean,
come on, you like it, don't you?

You can redecorate if you want.

You know, this is
so typical of you.

You make this huge decision
without even consulting me first.

Well, it's a surprise.

And now you're pressuring me
to move in with you again.

No, no, there's no, no
pressure, it's a present.

Stop it.

You know, I was really
happy the way things were.

I was happy living in that
crappy little apartment,

I was happy getting
close to you again

and finally getting
to trust you again.

But you don't care about
any of that, do you?

No, you only care
about what Peter wants.

And by God, Peter
is gonna get it.

Well, not this time.

Oh, God.

I want you to
drive me home. Now.

Brett: Yeah, absolutely, I'll have all
that for you, and I look forward to it.

And then, thanks again.
All right, bye.

What are you grinning about?
You look like you just

swallowed a dozen canaries.

Well, I guess I can
tell you now.

I guess you better.

I am one of a dozen
physicians in the country

who will be interviewing for an opening
at the Hutchins Research Hospital

in Philadelphia.

Is that good news?

It's great news, it's...

This is one of the most prestigious
research institutions in the country.

Now, they're sending a rep
out here for a face-to-face,

so if I make the cut, then...

then we go to Philadelphia
for the final interviews.

Wait a minute, wait a minute.

Philadelphia? We haven't
even talked about that.

Well, we're talking
about it now.

Don't you see, this is the solution
to our relationship ghosts,

our knee-jerk
jealousies.

You and I,

we get the hell out of Dodge
and we leave the rest

of these psychos behind to
chew on each others' bones.

So, um...

you've been thinking about this
for quite a while, haven't you?

Yeah, I've um...

I've uh... I've had a headhunter
working for me for weeks.

And a research position?

With you by my side

thousands of miles from here,

that's a dream come true.

Don't you think?

What do you think?

I think that you're
an incredible salesman,

and um... what if I...

I don't wanna move?

Would you go without me?

No, never.

Good answer.

Can I, um, think about this?

Of course, I mean, nothing's
for sure, anyway.

This could be our chance,
Megan, this could be it.

Mario.

I just got a letter from Nick.
Listen to this. It's crazy.

It's an apology. "Kyle,
I'm sorry Taylor's dead."

I never meant for it to happen.
Nick."

That's nuts. Even for
a psycho like Nick.

That's a really sick joke.

My God.

I haven't seen Nick
around anywhere.

Couldn't be.

You know what? I'm gonna
take this to the cops.

Mario, I wanna do some
light specials for the week.

Taylor you're okay.

Well, of course I am.

Kyle, what are you doing here?

Maybe you can tell me.

Just got a letter from Nick.

Says that you're dead,
and he's sorry about it.

Know anything about this?

Uh...

well, I know that your friend
Nick always wanted me dead.

Maybe this is just his drinking

getting the better of his imagination.
I don't know.

Nothing more to it? I mean,
you've been gone for two days.

Where you been?

I was with a friend.

A very special friend, and
we got a room at the beach.

I really don't think you wanna
know any more than that.

So, if you'll excuse me,
Mario and I have work to do.

Sure. I'll talk
to you later.

Hello?

Yeah, Sam, it's Jeff.
I have to see you.

I know I said the wrong thing,

but it doesn't change the fact that
I love you and we belong together.

Jeff, I don't think
this is a good time.

I'm not taking no for an answer.
You understand?

So, I'm concerned about Sam.

Oh, most of her work's fine, this one
just slipped through the cracks.

But you're not talking
about work, are you?

It's just...

we got married and we almost
immediately started drifting apart.

Now she's, she's like,
all over me again.

It does not feel real at all.

We don't really even look
at each other anymore.

I wouldn't worry about it too much.
Marriage is unnatural anyway.

You're born alone, you die alone.
Anything else is make-believe.

How can you say that?
You just got married.

Because it's true.
At least for me.

Ah, listen, that was the local Glazed Out
rep, and she needs to see me right away.

But I will redo that artwork and have it on
your desk first thing in the morning, okay?

If it's okay with Billy.

Sure, that's okay.

Great, thanks.
I'll see you later.

Sounds awfully excited to go
see a porcelain company rep,

wouldn't you say?

Maybe she's lying,
maybe she's not.

To tell you the truth,
I don't care.

You know, I forgot, I have a lunch, too.
See you later.

Whatever.

Okay, so, forget about what I said about
marriage and stuff for now, okay?

But I was there in
that bed in San Diego

and I know how we
feel about each other.

I mean, these are
deep feelings, Sam, it's...

it's a big deal, you can't
just brush it away.

Believe me,
Jeff, I've missed you.

Everything about you, the
way that you look at me,

and your eyes.

I just don't know what to do.

I do.

Oh, come on, we have to be
careful somebody might see us.

See, that's just it. I am sick
to death of being careful

and I know you are, too.

So, come on. Stop letting
guilt run your life

and kiss me right now
like you mean it

in front of God and everybody.

Oh, it's you.

Hi.

Can I come in for a second?

Yeah, uh, do you want
a sandwich?

Uh, I was just making lunch.

There's probably
some extra turkey.

No, I'm not really hungry.

Just... I wanted to see
how you were doing.

I'm fine, I guess.

Yeah, I saw you over at the
agency at, you know at that

little party Sam threw me, and you
seemed kind of uncomfortable,

so, I just wanted
to tell you that

the other night, when you and I spent
the night together at the hotel,

that meant a lot to me, too.

You know, I would never do
something like that lightly.

You know, I care
for you very much

and the last thing in the world I
would ever want to do is hurt you.

I know.

But it's nice
to hear you say it out loud.

So, that's it, I just
wanted to tell you that.

I should be going.

Yeah.

Sorry.

Don't be.

I, uh...

We'll talk later.

Yeah. We'll talk later.

Hey.

What are you doing here? I need
you to sign off on some orders.

Why are you going
through Christine's stuff?

None of your business. Leave it on
the desk. I will get to it later.

No, it is my business,
and you wanna know why?

Because, believe it or not, I am still
concerned about your happiness.

And the fact is that the more that
you dwell on the past and Christine,

the unhappier you
are going to be.

You have caused me more
unhappiness in my life

than anybody else,
so I would appreciate it

if you would get the
hell out of my office.

Kyle, I am sorry for the
things that I did, I am,

but I've turned over a new leaf.

I have, and I
want you to believe me.

That's one thing I'll never do.

Kyle, lighten up, she's just
trying to look out for you,

you shouldn't be
going through that stuff.

Finally, somebody who
understands, now, come on,

let's... You know what,
understand this,

Okay? I talk to you about
business, that's all.

Everything else is off limits.

I would appreciate it if you
would get out of my office.

Okay.

But I still love you,
and you can't change that.

You okay?
Yeah.

You know that letter from Nick,
the one I told you about?

Yeah, weird stuff.

Yeah, well, I'm going through
this stuff trying to find

something that will help me
make sense of it

because somehow I know it's
connected to Christine being here,

but so far all I got is a date
book and a couple of bills.

Bills?
Mmm-hmm.

Is her motel bill in there?
Yeah.

Well, if she made any phone
calls from her motel...

The numbers will be
on it. Hello.

Uh, this...
jazz club.

That's my phone number.

Taylor.
What's this one?

I don't know.
Let's find out.

Man: Front desk. Yeah, hi.
Where are you located?

Man: Oh, Sunset and Gower.

Hotel on Sunset.

Yeah... do you have a guest staying
there by the name of Nick Reardon?

Man: Yeah, we did. Oh,
he checked out already?

Man: Yeah.
Couple days ago.

Okay. Thanks.
Man: Mmm-hmm.

So, Nick was here.

I don't know what he had
to do with everything,

but he was here, and I am sure
as hell going to find out why.

Thanks.

Hey, beautiful morning,
isn't it?

Michael, what are you
doing out here?

Well, what do you think? I'm reliving
the early days of our relationship.

Where we met,
jogging on the beach.

Yeah, well, in case you haven't
noticed, this is not the beach,

and I was enjoying being
alone, so scram, all right?

Well, I would, but I can't, not till
you kill a vicious rumor I heard.

Sounds like Jennifer blabbed
about Philadelphia.

Oh, come on, Megan, you
can't to this, okay?

I won't let you.

I'm from back east, okay?

I've been there,
I know you'll hate it.

Look, you're
a warm-weather person,

sunshine, blues skies and

the warm, comforting hope
that one day you'll be

reunited with your
ex-husband,

somebody who really loves you.

Not like that creep
you're shacked up with now,

who's only using you.

Look, Michael, I told Jennifer
I was thinking about it, okay?

And whether I go or not, I will
do it without thinking about you,

or how it affects you, or what
you think about it, okay?

Because I finally realized

that you spend enough time
thinking about Michael Mancini

that know one else has to.

Come on, you won't leave.
You love me.

No, Michael, I don't.

There.

Now, tell me you
didn't feel something.

Not a thing.

But thank you. You just
helped me make up my mind.

Hello.

Morning, handsome.
It's your wake up call.

Don't you wish it was in person?

Well, this is a surprise
after the other night.

I know.

I'm sorry.

I've been up all night,

and I don't know
what to say except

with all this mess with my dad
and Amanda still lurking,

in my head, anyway, I just...

I guess it's made me
a little over-sensitive.

A little?

You know, I was only trying
to do something nice for you.

I know that.

But, Peter...

I wanna trust you again.

I do, I really do,

and, well, I want to make
everything up to you.

So let me make you dinner
tonight at my place.

I really don't feel
comfortable over there.

At my new place.

Let's say 7:00?

Hmm?

We can talk about our living
arrangements over dessert.

Okay?

Yeah. Yeah, okay.

See you later.

Come on, Taylor, open up.

Hey.
Hey.

Come on in. I'm watching Judge Judy,
and she's about to take apart

this guy who's scamming his own mother.
Come on.

No, thank you. I think I'll
stay out here in the fresh air.

You know, I've been doing a little snooping
around. You know what I turned up?

I don't know. A new way
to break my heart?

No, I spent the morning
I a motel up on Sunset.

Turns out Nick's been staying
there up until a couple days ago.

Also turns out that he's
been there for quite a while,

and he was in contact
with Christine.

You wouldn't happen to know
anything about that, would you?

Um, gosh, no, I'm just
as shocked as you are.

Shocked? Shocked how?

Well, you know,
stunned? Surprised?

Come on, Kyle, I wish
I could help you, but, um...

honestly, I don't know
any more than you do.

I hope not.
For your sake.

Hi.

Do you have a minute?

Maybe. What's it about?

I need to talk to someone,
and since we're old friends...

Friends?

That dog comment was a little
rough the other day, you know.

Yeah, I'm sorry.

Do I look like a dog to you?

No. I, I know

I lashed out at you. I've
been lashing out at everyone.

Kyle too.
Especially Kyle.

It's like, um,
there's poison in me.

I've never felt
like this before.

I look in the mirror
and I feel sick.

It's like I can't stand
to be alive, so I, um,

I just thought maybe you could
prescribe something for me or...

You don't need pills, Amanda, you need
to deal with your problems head-on.

You ought to call Kyle, and have
dinner and work it out with him.

I can't. It's ruined.
I can't face him.

I know I've been difficult,

but through it all
underneath we're friends.

I... I really need
your help tonight.

Can you? Please?

Yeah. Yeah, sure.

Let me call.

Hello, is this you?

Yeah, hi.

All right.
How far away are you?

I'm still at the office,
I'm afraid.

Listen, doesn't look like I'm gonna
be able to make it for dinner.

Amanda showed up here at the office
and she's in a real emotional jam.

Lexi?

Um, yeah, okay.
I understand.

Yeah, I'm sorry, I...

we can do it tomorrow
night, can't we?

Maybe.

Listen, something's
burning. I gotta go.

Hi, Michael.
How you doing?

Oh, great.

I'm going over all the
money I don't have.

I'm getting a good look at things
as my life goes down the sewer.

Mmm. Sorry to hear that.

You're not looking for a place
to hide out again, are you?

No.
Oh.

It's just that you're the only
person that I can be honest with,

and I just thought that
I could talk to you,

but sounds like you got more
problems than I thought you did.

Your problems are
more interesting. Shoot.

Well, I'm scared.

Because Kyle found out that Nick was in
town and he was talking to Christine.

Whoa.
Yeah.

And he's just a few steps of
putting the whole thing together,

and if he does,
what am I gonna do?

What do you think you're gonna do?
Deny it.

He, uh, brings you proof,
deny it.

He has 8x10s of you completely
caught in the act? You deny it.

He brings in the Pope, who
saw you do it, you deny it.

Wow.

You really think it's that easy?

No, it's not easy,
Taylor, it's hard.

But you stick with it.
Deny, deny, deny.

It's the only defense
that works.

Believe me.
I've tried everything else.

Half truths, partial admissions,

explanations, it all
blows up in your face.

Huh.

I guess you're right.

'Course I am.
Want some burrito?

I would love some.

Here. There's some paper plates and
some plastic forks right over there.

Oh. Thank you.

You ever notice that people like us
always get the short end of the stick?

Uh-huh.

That'll change.
One day.

Every dog has its day.

You're my inspiration,
Michael, you know that?

Amanda: I'm so grateful
for this, Peter.

Remember, we used to come
here when we were married?

I mean, it's not like that
anymore of course, but, um...

at least you're someone
I can talk to.

I think I need that
more than anything.

Someone I can talk to,
someone I can trust.

Yeah.

Amanda, I...

I've always cared for you,
and to be quite honest, I...

I...

sometimes put you
above everybody else.

You don't need to do that.

I know, especially
right now. It's wrong.

Because I'm hurting someone
that I love very much,

and I just can't do it anymore.

No, wait.

Look, Amanda, I'm sorry.

This is not your fault,
it's my fault,

but I'll help you any way I can.

But not at Lexi's expense.

I'm sorry.

I love you.

And I realized that
when you love someone

they should come first.
Don't you think?

Yeah, I do.

I do.

And I'm really hungry
for that dinner.

Dinner's just gonna
have to wait.

Oh, Peter.
