Bartender: Rough night?
Leslie: Have you seen Tad
Martin?
Bartender: You mean
you haven't caught up with him
by now?
Leslie: Excuse me?
Bartender: I'm talking about
that little stunt you pulled
last night in the men's room.
You know, the next time you try
that, you're going to find that
they've removed the lock
from the door.
Leslie: You mean people
actually noticed?
I mean, I thought I had been
so discreet.
Man: You thought wrong,
Ms. Coulson.
That'll be all, Steve.
I prepared your bill including
damages, and I would appreciate
it if you would settle it
and check out as soon
as possible.
Leslie: You think you can
kick me out?
Man: I know I can.
Oh!
Leslie: Who do you think
you're dealing with?
I am an attorney!
David: Are you all right?
Man: I'm fine. I'm --
David: Here, here.
Leslie: This is ridiculous!
David: Why don't you take
this.
Listen, please excuse her.
She's on medication
for an illness.
Man: Medication?
The woman is a menace!
If you cannot control her,
Dr. Hayward, I will be forced
to call the police!
David: Now, that is
definitely not necessary.
Come on, Leslie, let's go.
Leslie: This is nothing less
than sexual discrimination.
David: It's all right.
Thank you.
Sorry about that.
Leslie: Let go of me.
Dixie: Hey, Junior, why don't
you come down and let me see how
you look for the dance.
Dixie: "To Dixie -- Happy
Valentine's Day.
I love you.
Tad."
[Doorbell]
Tad: Hi.
Dixie: Hi.
Tad: Hi.
I -- listen, I just remembered
that you and I had signed up
to chaperone the Valentine's Day
dance at Junior's high school,
and I know that was some
time ago.
But, I mean, I don't see any
reason why we still can't do it.
Dixie: Really?
Tad: Except for last night.
I know -- things seem like
they're getting weirder
and weirder between you and me,
and I just want you to know that
when I was over here last night
throwing the furniture around,
I had no --
that's sweet, isn't it?
Nice.
Nice flowers.
Little skimpy, though,
for Valentine's Day,
don't you think?
Dixie: I like them.
I like them very much, Tad.
Tad: What a jerk.
Sending you some crummy little
bouquet of flowers.
Dixie: What are you saying?
Tad: What, are you going
to deny that these are
from Hayward?
Dixie: What?
Tad: I don't want these
in my house, Dixie.
Dixie: Tad, what are
you doing?
Look at the card!
Tad: I'm going to throw these
things out in the yard.
That's exactly where
they should --
Junior: Dad, stop!
I sent the flowers.
Junior: They're from me.
I told them to sign your name.
Hayley: Mateo --
Mateo: I was trying to tell
you over the phone that,
well, you didn't kill your mom.
She's -- she's alive.
Hayley: I didn't -- I didn't
kill you.
Mom.
Arlene: It's me, Sweetie.
I'm back.
Adam: Come on, let her --
let her hug her.
It's her mother!
Hayley: Ow!
Adam: Don't you understand?
It's over!
She's innocent, for crying out
loud.
Get your hands off of her.
Liza: God.
Judge: What's going on here?
Who is this woman?
Jack: Well, Judge,
that's the --
that's the victim.
Mateo: Your honor,
I guess you could say I brought
back proof that my wife didn't
kill her mother because this is
her mother right here.
Say hello.
Arlene: Hello.
Judge: I assume you want
to continue with the
arraignment.
Jack: I think that would be
best, your honor.
I think so.
Judge: Let's reconvene
in the courtroom.
Hayley: Are you ok?
I mean,
how are you feeling?
Mateo: Well, she looks great,
doesn't she, because she was
in the Caribbean this whole time
sunning herself.
Hayley: You let me think
you were dead all this time?
How could you do that?
Erica: Your daughter is dead
to you?
How can you possibly say that?
Mrs. Livingston: This is none
of your business.
Erica: Your daughter is lying
there very ill.
Very ill.
Now, what if you lose her?
What if she really dies?
Can you live with that
for the rest of your life,
with your words ringing
in your ears?
Mrs. Livingston: She's
my only child.
My only daughter.
Erica: She needs you now.
She needs you now more than
ever.
Mrs. Livingston: Well,
apparently she needs
your daughter more.
Erica: Sarah and Bianca are
very close, and they care about
each other very, very much.
They've been through a lot
together.
Mrs. Livingston: Yes,
they have, and it makes me sick.
Erica: Don't you see that
none of that matters right now?
Mrs. Livingston: Oh,
how could you possibly
understand?
It's all so simple for you --
you and your high-fashion world.
How open-minded.
You probably think I'm a bigot,
an intolerant fanatic.
Well, I don't care what
you think.
I know what's right and what
isn't.
Erica: Well, you're wrong
about me, Mrs. Livingston.
I think you're a mother who saw
her daughter's entire future
just vanish before her eyes
at the mention of a single word.
Mrs. Livingston: That's
exactly what happened.
Erica: When Bianca told me
that -- that she was gay, I --
I couldn't believe it.
I didn't want to hear it.
I was sick, too.
I was sick at heart
because I realized that the idea
I have of my daughter is not
real,
and I wanted her to take it
back.
And I just was not open-minded
and I was not accepting.
Not at all.
And I still haven't been.
Mrs. Livingston: Then why are
you here?
Erica: Because.
Because Bianca is my child.
She's my baby.
I love her.
Isn't that reason enough?
Mrs. Livingston: Do
you believe people are born
this way?
I don't.
I think she's punishing me.
Erica: That's what I thought,
too, at first.
Mrs. Livingston: So do
you blame yourself for
Bianca's --
Erica: I don't know why
Bianca says she's gay.
It's not a life I would want
for her.
It scares me.
It scares me to think that I --
I won't be able to relate
to her.
There's a part of her that
I will never understand.
But I just want her to be happy.
I mean, I'm sure that's what
you want for your daughter.
Mrs. Livingston: Oh,
I want to be with her, help her.
But I can't accept this.
Erica: You don't have
to accept it.
Just help her.
Mrs. Livingston: I don't know
what to say to her.
Erica: Tell her --
tell her about the day she was
born.
About how it felt when
they brought her to
you and they placed
her in your arms.
And tell her that she is exactly
the same person now as she was
then.
Mrs. Livingston: But is she?
Erica: Of course.
Bianca: Mom?
Hayley: Wait a minute.
Answer me.
How could you let me think that
I killed you?
Arlene: Maybe because I have
some questions of my own,
Hayley.
How could you try to kill me?
How could you leave me for dead
on the deck of that yacht?
[Judge pounds gavel]
Arlene: How could you do that
to me?
Guard: Ma'am, you have
to take your place.
Judge: Can we wrap this up,
please?
Mr. Montgomery, your client,
Ms. Santos, has confessed
to the murder of her mother
and waived the right to a jury
trial.
Now it seems that the victim has
shown up in the courtroom,
and with a suntan, yet.
Can you explain this?
Jack: No. No, judge.
Not -- not really, no.
Arlene: Your honor,
there's no need to waste any
more of the court's time.
As you can see, I am not
deceased, although I very
nearly was.
And after a horrible altercation
with my daughter, I decided
that --
Judge: Would you like
to press charges at this time?
Arlene: There's a lot
of blame on both sides,
so let's let bygones be bygones.
Judge: I'll take that
as a no.
Case dismissed.
We're adjourned.
Arlene: The court is
adjourned.
Vanessa: Hello, Arlene.
Dixie: You sent the flowers?
Junior: It was a dumb idea.
Tad: No, it wasn't.
It was a terrific idea.
I wish I had thought of it
myself.
Junior: And you would have
if things were like they used
to be.
But they're not, and I just
thought if you guys would treat
each other better, that --
I don't know.
It was a dumb idea.
I'm sorry, ok?
Tad: Dixie --
why don't we give him a minute?
I don't think he'd want to talk
about this anymore.
Dixie: That was so sweet
of him.
He just doesn't understand.
Tad: That makes two of us.
David: What the hell is wrong
with you?
You're behaving like a lunatic.
Leslie: I was doing fine
before I hooked up with you.
David: Hey, I'm the only one
trying to help you right now.
Now, this obsession that
you have with Tad is making
you crazy.
Leslie: It is not
an obsession.
He cares about me.
He made love to me.
David: He knows that
you drugged him, Leslie.
You stole a vial of Libidozone
from my office.
Leslie: That's ridiculous.
David: They've got it
on tape, Leslie -- everything
that they need to convict you.
Leslie: Convict me?
David: That's right.
Which means you better get out
of here now.
Get away from Pine Valley before
it's too late.
Leslie: The hospital has it
on tape?
David: Mm-hmm.
Leslie: How?
David: The doctors' offices
are under video surveillance
for this kind of thing.
People steal drugs.
Leslie: I have been
to your office many times.
There aren't any cameras.
David: It's hidden,
Leslie, to protect the hospital
from lawsuits.
Tad staggered into the ER last
night.
He was half out of his mind.
How much did you give him?
Leslie: I didn't do anything.
David: When Tad's blood work
came back positive for
Libidozone, I was the one that
they suspected.
That's why they checked
the tape.
They were trying to blame me.
Leslie: You were the one who
poured the Libidozone
into the punch at Ryan's party.
David: You don't know what
you're talking about, Leslie.
You're out of control,
and everybody down at that bar
just saw that.
Leslie: You know what?
I don't do too badly when
I clean up.
I know how to make a compelling
argument even when the facts are
against me, and right now
they're not.
If anyone is going to go down
for this, it's going to be you,
not me.
Dixie: So you really still
think that we can chaperone
Junior's dance?
Tad: Well, that was just
an excuse.
I just wanted to see you.
There is something I should
tell you.
I saw a surveillance video
of Leslie Coulson stealing
Libidozone from David's office.
Dixie: When did you see that?
When did she --
when, after the party?
Tad: No, no, no.
This just happened.
This was yesterday.
She must have slipped it
into my coffee at the
Valley Inn.
I didn't know about it,
and that's why -- that's why
I behaved the way I did
yesterday.
Dixie: Do you think she's
even capable of such a thing?
Tad: Well, she must be,
because I left here, I went over
to the hospital, and Jake drew
some blood.
There was a lot of Libidozone
in my system.
Dixie: Did you call
the police?
Tad: No.
I mean, not yet.
Jake and I think it's possible
that Hayward set Leslie up
to cover himself.
Dixie: So you saw a videotape
showing Leslie stealing
Libidozone from David's office,
and you still think that David
is responsible for drugging all
those people at Ryan's party.
Tad: Don't you think it's
interesting that just when
evidence is mounting up against
David, suddenly this video pops
up incriminating Leslie?
Dixie: What evidence?
You know, all you have is
your prejudice that you and Joe
and Jake have against David,
and --
this is the same fight that
we always have, and I'm so sick
of fighting!
Tad: Well, I'm not.
I'm going to go right
on fighting unless you tell me
there's nothing left worth
fighting for.
Vanessa: What have you done
with my necklace, Arlene?
Palmer: Yes, damn it,
where is it?
Derek: All right, everybody.
Try to remain calm.
Arlene.
We would very much like
an answer to the question.
Arlene: I've been through
a horrendous experience.
If I could explain to you how
bewildering, how crazy it has
been for me --
Vanessa: Oh, really.
Who cares about your pathetic
suffering?
I don't!
I want my half million dollars
worth of pearls back, Arlene.
You fenced them, didn't you?
Arlene: I can't focus on this
right now, Vanessa.
I really can't.
Vanessa: She is guilty,
Lieutenant --
Palmer: Lieutenant,
arrest this woman for grand
larceny.
Hayley: No, no!
Please, Vanessa, I'm begging
you, don't do this.
You got your insurance money.
Vanessa: Hayley, how can
you defend this creature?
She is despicable.
She is an embarrassment,
and the least of her sins is
lying.
This woman has made a career out
of seducing your husbands.
Hayley: Well, that might be
true, but she still deserves
a second chance.
Mateo: Why do you want to do
this?
Hayley: Because --
because I didn't kill her,
and I got my second chance.
And she's my mother.
Bianca: Mom, when I was very
sick, when I couldn't eat,
I overheard you talking to Daddy
one night, and you told him that
you never felt so helpless.
Erica: I was just so afraid
that you would give up and that
I would lose you.
Bianca: And later on,
you told me that you could feel
your heart breaking.
Mom, that's how I feel now.
Erica: You -- you love
her very much, don't you?
Bianca: I need to ask
you a favor, Mom.
Erica: What, Honey?
What can I do?
Bianca: When I was very sick,
you told me that you would ask
Grandma's spirit to come down
from heaven and protect me.
Could you do that now?
Could you ask Grandma to come
and protect Sarah?
Erica: Of course I can,
Sweetheart.
Oh, yes, I can.
And she will, too.
Your grandma --
your grandma will protect Sarah.
Bianca: Mom, I know this
thing --
my being gay --
I know --
I know it's very hard on you.
Erica: I'm so afraid you'll
get hurt.
Bianca: Mom, I could just
as easily get hurt by a man.
Erica: Honey, that's not
the kind of pain I'm talking
about.
What I mean is
I'm just so afraid that people
are going to judge you,
they're going to decide that
they don't even like
you without even knowing you,
just because of this label
on you.
And I'm so afraid that --
that someone might harm you.
Bianca: Mom,
do you want me to be the kind
of person that cares what people
I don't even know think of me?
Erica: No, Honey.
No, no, no, of course not.
I don't mean that.
Bianca: But that's not what
you're afraid of, Mom.
Erica: Well, what?
All right, then, what?
What am I really afraid of?
Bianca: You don't want me
to be something that you're
ashamed of.
Erica: No, honey.
I don't want you to be something
that you're ashamed of.
Bianca: But, Mom, I'm not.
I'm proud of who I am.
Erica: You are?
You really are?
Bianca: Mom, you have taught
me to be myself every day
of my life.
Erica: You've got a lot
of courage.
Bianca: Where do you think
I got it from?
Leslie: If I go to
the police, I may have no chance
with Tad, but you will lose
Dixie.
David: No, you see,
now, that's where you're wrong.
Dixie will rally to my defense.
She's not going to leave my side
unless all your false charges
are disproved.
You know, as a matter of fact,
you might be even doing me
a favor.
So, you see, Leslie,
whatever you do, I win
and you lose.
Leslie: You win and I lose.
David: That's right.
Leslie: The truth is,
even hopped up on Libidozone,
Tad didn't want me.
He wanted his wife.
You were right, David.
It is over.
I mean, I can't get what I want
anyway, so I might as well do
what you want.
David: So you're going
to leave.
When?
Leslie: Well, as soon
as I can get packed.
David: You're just going
to quit?
Leslie: Listen, I had
promised myself that if Tad
didn't want me, I would cut
my losses.
Why am I going to stick around,
so I can fight with you?
David: That's a good
decision, Leslie.
You're being very smart.
Leslie: Well, at least one
of us will get what we wanted.
I hope things work out between
you and Dixie.
David: Yeah, right.
Well, I guess I'll leave
you alone so you can start
packing.
Leslie: Good-bye, David.
David: Good-bye, Leslie.
Tad: You know, with all
the fighting around here,
I think you and I may have
forgotten something.
Dixie: Yeah? What's that?
Tad: The way things used
to be in this house.
The way we used to love each
other.
Dixie: I haven't forgotten
anything.
Tad: Well, I keep asking
myself how you could possibly be
attracted to a guy like Hayward,
why you're apparently willing
to throw everything away.
Dixie: Don't put this all
on me.
You know how we got where
we are now.
Tad: I know that the problem
is between the two of us,
like there's something missing.
I mean, come on.
Do you think if Liza and I
hadn't happened that you would
even look twice at Hayward?
You wouldn't consider cheating
on me.
Dixie: I didn't do what I did
out of revenge, Tad.
Tad: I'm scared for us.
You hold my heart in your hands.
You always have.
Now, I may not be as damaged
or as dangerous as Hayward is,
but I love you
and I need you, and I'm asking
you -- please, please come back
to me.
Just let me love you again.
Dixie: Hey.
You look handsome.
Junior: Thanks, Mom.
This is for you.
Dixie: Junior --
Junior: Happy
Valentine's Day, Mom.
Mateo: Yes, she's your mom,
but when has she ever acted
like it?
You think she came here
voluntarily?
No.
She was going to let you fry.
Hayley: Is that true?
Arlene: Only because I was
scared, Sweetie, and --
God, I'm hot.
Because -- here, take this.
And I -- I knew that if I came
back here, everyone would take
a lot of pleasure in punishing
me for every little wrong thing
I've done in my life.
Adam: Arlene, you deserve
everything you've gotten.
Do you have any idea how much
pain you put your daughter
through thinking she's
killed you?
For her sake, I'm glad you're
alive, but quite frankly,
I would rather you were
on the ocean floor feeding
the fish.
Arlene: You know what?
I swore to myself that I would
never again come into a room
where people hated me as much
as you do.
Hayley: I don't hate you,
Mother.
Palmer: We could care less
about your relationship
with your mother.
We want our half million dollars
worth of jewelry back.
Vanessa: Palmer is right.
All we care about is
the necklace.
Palmer: And if we don't get
it, that woman will rot in jail.
Adam: Palmer, Vanessa,
I can't give you your necklace
back, but here's what I will do.
I will write a check that will
cover your insurance company's
payment and any other expenses
you may have incurred.
Palmer can buy you a brand-new
necklace and a better one.
How does that sound?
Palmer: Write the check.
Arlene: You would do that?
Oh, there's a catch,
isn't there?
Adam: You bet there is.
Adam: You'll go to Barry's
office where
divorce documents, which
you will
and then you will leave town
on a plane tonight.
You can go anywhere you want.
You can go back to the Caribbean
if you like.
One-way ticket, first class.
One-way.
You will never set foot in this
town again.
Mateo: You know, that's not
good enough.
I don't think I want any type
of communication with Hayley
of any kind -- phone,
fax, computer, carrier pigeon.
I want you out of her life
forever.
Adam: I'll leave
you 30 seconds to make up
your mind.
Then you belong to Derek.
30,
29,
28,
27 --
Tad: I'm proud of you, Son.
You're smarter than I am.
That card is exactly what
your mom needed to see
right now.
Junior: So, are you guys
still up for chaperoning
the dance tonight?
Tad: Well, I'd like to.
How about it?
[Doorbell rings]
Junior: I'll get it.
Man: I have a delivery
for Ms. Dixie Martin.
Junior: Ok, thanks.
Dixie: Roses.
Junior: I knew you wouldn't
forget to get Mom flowers.
Junior: They're from Hayward,
aren't they?
Why can't he just leave us
alone?
Dixie: Junior --
Tad: No, wait, it's ok.
I'll go after him.
Erica: Sarah, the nurse said
that your room is ready
upstairs.
They'll be coming for you soon.
Mrs. Livingston: This is
good-bye, then.
Erica: You're leaving?
Sarah: My mother has
a fundraiser coming up soon.
She has a lot of work to do.
Erica: Well, Sarah will only
be here for a couple of days.
You'll be back to pick her up?
Mrs. Livingston: Sarah hasn't
agreed to come back to Boston.
Sarah: I can't go back
to Ian.
Mrs. Livingston: That's not
what I want.
Sarah: You don't?
But you said that --
Mrs. Livingston: Sarah,
I realize you can't stay
married.
I realize Ian has to know
the truth.
I know everyone has to know
the truth.
Sarah: Then you still want me
to come home?
Mrs. Livingston: You're
my daughter, Sarah.
Of course I want you to come
home.
Erica: May I buy you a cup
of coffee, Mrs. Livingston?
Mrs. Livingston: Thank you,
Ms. Kane.
I'll be back.
Bianca: So, how'd it go?
Sarah: Ok.
They didn't say much,
but she told me she loved me
and I believed her.
I didn't realize how much
I needed to hear that.
Bianca: It's going to be
easier now.
I mean, you're going to get
strong and well really soon.
Sarah: Bianca, I'm so sorry
for what I put you through
I don't know what I would've
done if you hadn't been there.
Bianca: But I was there,
Sarah, just like before.
And I will -- I will always be
there if you need me.
Sarah: Same here.
Come and visit me in Boston?
Bianca: Sure.
It'll be springtime soon.
I'll bring you a tulip,
and you'll smile like I brought
you the moon..
Erica how is Sarah doing?
Bianca: She's better.
Erica: I'm very proud of you,
Honey, for the way you helped
Sarah.
Bianca: You helped
her more, Mom.
You convinced Mrs. Livingston
to go to her.
Turns out that's what she needed
most.
Did you know her mother still
loved her?
Erica: I understand
Mrs. Livingston.
I mean, she's trying to cope
with something she never thought
she'd face.
Bianca: So are you, Mom.
Erica: It isn't easy, Honey.
Bianca: I know.
But you're trying,
and that means more to me than
you could possibly know.
Adam: The clock's running.
15,
14,
13 --
Arlene: Tell him he can't do
this.
Hayley: Mom, please, he will
send you to jail, and I don't
want that to happen to you.
Just do it for me.
Adam: Five --
Arlene: Wait, I'm innocent.
I didn't steal the necklace.
Liza: Arlene, are you really
that stupid? .
Palmer: Lieutenant,
arrest her.
Arlene: All right.
All right!
I'll sign those stupid divorce
papers and I'll leave town.
Adam: Sorry, time's up.
Jack: Adam, for God's sake,
get on with it.
Adam: All right, fine.
Barry, don't let her out
of your sight until her plane is
in the air.
Hayley: Wait.
Wait, just a minute.
Arlene: I have to go,
Sweetie.
Hayley: I know. I just --
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry that all of this
happened.
And I know I don't deserve it,
but I was wondering if maybe
you could tell me that
you forgive me for what I did
to you.
Arlene: You know I do.
I think I probably had it coming
to me.
Adam: Barry.
Barry: Let's go, Arlene.
Mateo: Listen, you know this
is the right thing.
Just be strong, ok?
Arlene: Ok, let's go.
But I just want to say one
thing -- that except for Hayley,
there isn't one thing I'm going
to miss about this town.
Nothing.
I'm going to find a place where
people appreciate me.
You'll see.
And I'm going to be a winner
in the end.
You might not hear from me,
but you sure as hell are going
to hear about me.
Where's my coat?
Derek: Palmer, you're really
not going to let Arlene get away
with this, are you?
Palmer: Haven't you been
paying attention, lieutenant?
I lost half a million,
I'm getting half a million plus.
I am content.
Derek: She committed a crime.
It's your civic duty to press
charges.
She stole your necklace.
Vanessa: Well, yes,
Lieutenant, but I'm going to be
getting even a better one now.
Maybe.
Jack: I know.
I know.
Mateo: Oh, let's go home.
Come on.
Come on.
Hayley: You know,
you saved me.
If you hadn't brought her back
here and found her,
people would've thought I really
killed her.
Mateo: Do you really think
I was going to let them take
you away from me?
No, no.
If I hadn't found Arlene,
I would've thought of something
else.
Hayley: I know you would
have.
Mateo: Let's go home.
Please, let's go.
Hayley: But first can we stop
at BJ's?
I'm having a craving
for a double cheeseburger
and their onion rings.
Mateo: Did you say craving?
Hayley: Oh, Mateo --
Mateo: No, you said craving,
right?
Hayley: Stop it.
Mateo: Are we eating for two?
Hayley: Let's not get greedy.
I think we've been lucky enough
for one day.
Mateo: You know what?
I think we're going to have some
luck for a while.
What do you think?
Liza: I'm just so happy that
she's free.
Adam: Oh, yes.
Let's go home and see Colby.
Derek: Not just yet, Adam.
Adam: What?
What are you talking about?
You can't hold me.
Derek: Not true.
There is the little matter
of the fire you set
in the courtroom --
your attempted escape
with Hayley.
Adam: Oh, come on.
The case has been dropped.
You're just doing this out
of spite.
Derek: Not entirely out
of spite.
We're still holding Duffy
Olyphant -- you know, the man
who shot Vanessa Cortlandt.
Now, when he gets around
to telling us who hired him,
I got a feeling I'm going
to want you close by.
This way.
Liza: I'll get Barry?
Adam: Yeah. Yeah, get --
no!
No, I want him to finish
his business with Arlene first.
[Knock on door]
Leslie: Staz.
I've been waiting.
Well?
Staz: She has the roses.
Leslie: I wonder if it's
happened yet.
Staz: Well, if it hasn't,
its about to.
Leslie: Poor Dixie.
Even with your brilliant
cardiologist, I don't think
your heart can take this.
Dixie: David, what are
you doing?
Dixie: They're beautiful,
though.
There's got to be a card in here
somewhere.
Aah!
[Dixie sees a very large spider in the box of flowers]
[Dixie screams]
ON THE NEXT - - - - - ALL MY CHILDREN
Vanessa: Didn't I tell
you I was going to help you get
Leo back?
What better time -- Valentine's
night?
Junior: She and David --
they slept together?
David: Spiders are ugly,
but most of them are harmless.
Aah!
