Opal: Here, Belinda,
help yourself to another one
of these shrimp thingies that
cook made.
Belinda: Oh, yes, I think
I will.
Opal: They're great.
Aren't they, though?
Here you go.
Alice: They are so addictive.
Op: Yes.
Adrian, come on.
Try one, honey.
Adrian: I don't care much
for seafood, thank you.
Opal: Oh, gee, I'm sorry.
I didn't know that.
Alice: Oh, well,
that's our Adrian -- the only
child in the world who would
never eat fish sticks,
even homemade.
Opal: No!
Homemade?
Homemade fish sticks?
I can't even do the kind that
come out of the box.
Alice: Oh, they're so easy.
All you need is a blender.
Opal: Oh, yeah.
Easy, my foot.
Now, see, Adrian, you're lucky
that you ended up with Alice
instead of me.
You might have starved to death.
Alice: Oh, I wouldn't
say that.
Opal: Well, gee, I wonder
what's keeping tad and Dixie.
I mean, it's not like them.
They're over a half-hour late.
[Door closes]
Belinda: Oh, that's probably
them now.
Opal: Oh, yeah.
Dixie: Hi!
I'm so sorry we're late.
It's been a crazy day.
Tad: Oh, man.
I feel like a hamster
on a wheel.
Dixie: Brooke is throwing
this shower for us -- for me
tomorrow and --
Tad: We had to swing by.
We're getting married this week,
so --
Alice: So Opal said.
A spring wedding?
Dixie: Yes.
Hopefully, the weather will
cooperate.
And then we had to go over
to the dressmakers and have
another fitting.
Opal: You didn't let Tad see
your dress, did you?
Tad: No.
Dixie: No.
Tad: No, Ma.
I was over at Mom and Dad's, to
give them a head count.
Dixie: Yeah.
Opal: You know, Dixie,
she just makes the most
beautiful bride.
They say three's a keeper,
you know?
Alice: Oh, and your son's
going to make such a
handsome groom.
Opal: Yeah, he cleans up
pretty good.
Alice: Oh, I cannot wait
for the day that Adrian
gets married.
Opal: Well, it could be
sooner than you think.
Adrian: Isn't dinner
about ready?
Alice: Adrian, where are
your manners?
Opal: Oh, well, the poor guy
is hungry, and the hor--
the horse -- the appetizers,
he didn't like those.
It's going to be just a minute,
really.
It'll be ready anytime.
Dixie: Mrs. Dawson, if you're
around and you're in town
and you would like to come,
we would love to have you come
to the wedding.
Tad: Absolutely.
It'd be great.
Alice: Oh, I --
I don't think I'm going to be
in town that long.
Dixie: Oh.
Tad: Oh.
Um -- would you excuse me
for just a minute?
Dixie: Well, if you have any
change of plans and you would
like to come, really, please do.
Tad: What the hell's
with Adrian?
Opal: Oh.
I -- I guess he's just
uncomfortable, maybe,
being around me and Alice.
Tad: So that gives him
the right to be rude?
Opal: Oh, now, honey,
he didn't mean to be rude.
Tad: You could've fooled me.
Opal: Well, I'm thinking
maybe this dinner party wasn't
such a good idea.
Tad: No, no, no.
Ma, I think this dinner party
was a great idea.
I also think my new brother
needs a reality check.
Opal Tad, please don't --
Tad: Excuse me.
I'd like a word with you --
in private.
Gillian: If you're here
to find out if I signed
the divorce papers --
Ryan: No, I'm here
because I came to see
for myself.
Gillian: See what?
Ryan: See if Raquel was
telling the truth.
Gillian: You spoke to Raquel
about me?
Why?
Ryan: Because I had to go
by her place to -- Hayley asked
me to.
That's not important.
The point is, is that
she told me --
Gillian: She told you what?
Ryan: She told me that
you only filed for a divorce
to make me happy, that
you really don't want it.
Is that true?
Adam: Come on, Erica.
Answer the phone.
Why don't you have voice mail
like the rest of us?
Liza: Hi, sweetie.
How was your nap?
Can she see me yet?
Jake: Oh, you probably
appear, like, a little blurry
to her.
But she needs visual
stimulation.
I was thinking about getting one
of those black-and-white mobiles
to hang over her crib.
Liza: Oh, yeah.
Adam: I already got her one
of those.
Why don't you let the baby alone
so she can sleep?
Jake: I'm in such a good mood
today, I'm not even going to let
you rattle my cage.
I've got rounds anyway.
I'll be back soon, ok?
Bye-bye.
Liza: Mm-hmm.
I know you don't like seeing
Jake with Colby.
But you know, you have
to accept it.
It was your idea, after all,
to recognize him as the father.
Adam: I don't give a damn
about Jake.
He's not the problem.
Liza: Then who is?
Erica: Wake up!
How could you do this?
I'm not finished with you
oh.
Oh, this is so typical of you,
lie, deny, avoid.
How could you do that?
How could you stand there
with a straight face and look
at me and tell me that I will
laugh about this someday?
And this is your fault!
Oh.
Do all doctors carry
smelling salts?
Oh, I'm going to wake you up.
I'm going to wake you up
and you are going to listen
to me.
You are going to finally
understand, if it's the last
thing I do.
[Door closes]
Jack: Erica?
Erica: Jack?
Jack: Are you home?
It's me, Jack.
Liza: What is it?
If I didn't know better,
I'd swear you were afraid
of something.
Adam: Look -- look at her.
Isn't she the most perfect thing
you have ever seen in your life,
those little toes and fingers?
And that perfect nose?
Liza: Now I know what
they meant by, in the songs,
when they say "your heart
swells."
Adam: That's the way I feel
about you and Colby.
I think that's -- that's it.
That's why I'm so scared.
Liza: What are you afraid of?
I mean, we have everything
we ever wanted.
We have a beautiful daughter.
We're getting married.
Adam: Yeah, that's it.
Everything's perfect.
Everything in my life is
perfect.
Almost too perfect.
It's as if it may all just go up
in a puff of smoke.
Liza: Well, see, what you're
talking about, I mean,
how could -- we have come
a long way.
And how could it possibly
change?
How could we possibly lose it?
Adam: I don't know.
It's just that I love you more
than I've ever loved anyone
else, and I love Colby more than
my life itself, and if I --
if ever anything came along
and took you away from me,
I don't think I'd be able
to go on.
Liza: I never thought I'd see
the day when Adam chandler was
afraid of anything.
Adam: Yeah, that's just
for you.
Liza: Sweetheart, you're not
going to lose me, and you're not
going to lose Colby.
In fact, it's just the opposite.
Adam: What do you mean?
Liza: Well, this -- this baby
makes us a family.
We're a family.
We're an honest-to-God family.
Jake is not going to take
that away.
I mean, don't you know that?
Jake doesn't even want to take
it away from us.
Adam: Well, it -- I mean,
it might not be Jake, only Jake.
Liza: What, you think some
stranger is going to come along
and sweep me off my feet?
Don't you get it?
You're stuck with me, buster.
Adam: Let's get married.
Liza: We are.
Adam: No, I mean right away.
I'll send the car for
Rev. Ruppert and we can do it
right here.
Liza: No.
Adam: Oh.
And why not?
Liza: No, because we're going
to do it like we planned,
at the chapel at Wildwind,
with mother and Stuart.
Please, just don't be paranoid.
Adam: All right, all right.
When?
Liza: After Tad and Dixie's
wedding.
Adam: What -- what do Tad
and Dixie have to do with us?
Liza: Adam, Tad is
my best friend.
And I'm not going to upstage
his big day, and I want to do
this for Dixie, too,
after everything that they've
gone through.
Really, this is what I want.
And then I promise, it'll be
our turn.
Adrian: Anything you have
to say to me, you can say it
right here.
Tad: I don't think so.
Opal: Uh --
Tad: This is between
you and me.
Opal: Boys -- boys, you know,
why don't we just go and eat.
Tad: After I talk to Adrian.
Adrian: Ok, fine.
This better be good.
Adrian: You know, I don't
appreciate you trying
to intimidate me in there.
Tad: Well, I don't appreciate
you trying to rain on
my wedding.
Adrian: What do you mean,
"trying to rain" on
your wedding?
Tad: Don't be a pain
in the neck.
You're bringing everybody down
with your bad attitude.
Adrian: Look, do you think
this is easy for me,
standing around, trying to make
polite chitchat?
Tad: Adrian, you're
not trying.
That's the whole point.
Everybody else in there is
except you.
The great put-upon Adrian sword.
Honestly, you remind me of that
little cartoon character,
the one with the thundercloud
over his head.
Adrian: So I can't help how
I feel.
Tad: I'm not asking
you to change the way you feel,
just the way you're acting.
Look, Dixie is happier than
she's ever been, ok?
She's got a clean bill
of health.
We're getting married,
for God's sake.
Adrian: So what do you want
me to do?
Grow some hair and sing
"everything's coming up roses"?
Tad: Could you?
I want you to put on a happy
face and stop acting like
somebody just stole
your favorite toy, because
in case you missed it,
you're the sole reason opal put
on this little soiree
in the first place --
because she loves you.
So does Alice.
Everybody in there is bending
over backwards trying to make
you happy.
So I think the least you could
do is act like a grownup, right?
And by the way, you mess up
my wedding, you do anything
to make it less than perfect
for Dixie, and I swear,
I'll make you sorry you had.
Gillian: Raquel had no right
to speak to you.
Ryan: So then it's true?
You don't want a divorce?
Gillian: What do you want?
Ryan: Just -- just answer
the question, Gillian.
Do you or do you not want
a divorce?
Gillian: It doesn't matter
what I want.
Ryan: Gillian, of course
it --
Gillian: You said you needed
your space.
Fine, I'm giving you your space.
I'm setting you free.
Ryan: God, how did everything
get so screwed up?
Gillian: I signed
these papers.
All right?
That's what you wanted.
You want to look at it?
You want to look at it?
Ryan: I believe you.
You're still hurting, Gillian.
You're still hurting, and all
I want to do is I want to make
it stop.
I just don't know how.
Gillian: You want to make
it stop?
I'll tell you how to make
it stop.
It's easy.
Ryan: How?
Gillian: Tell me to tear
these up.
Tell me that you still want us
to be married.
Can you do that? Well?
Ryan: Gillian, you have
no idea how badly I would love
to tell you what you want
to hear if it would put a smile
on that beautiful face of yours.
Nothing would make me happier
than that.
Gillian: Then just say it.
Say it, Ryan, and make me
the happiest woman alive.
Ryan: Maybe now it would make
you the happiest woman
alive, but --
Gillian: But what?
I know you still want to be
with me, otherwise, you wouldn't
have come here looking for me.
You wouldn't have cared why
I signed these divorce papers
and why I wanted the divorce,
or if I did it to please you,
or if Raquel was telling
the truth.
Ryan: You're right.
You're right.
Gillian: I knew it,
Ryan, so just say it.
Say it.
Tell me -- tell me that
you still want to be married
to me and I'll make confetti out
of these stupid papers!
Ryan: I can't.
Gillian: Why not?
It's what we both want.
Ryan: Because -- because,
Gillian, it would be wrong.
Gillian: No!
Ryan, we are so right
for each other.
We can make each other so happy,
just like we have in the past.
It can be just like Hayley
and Mateo.
Ryan: No, the problem is I'm
not Mateo, Gillian.
I am not Mateo.
If we stayed married,
sooner or later, I would end up
hurting you again.
Gillian: How?
You'll never be unfaithful.
Ryan: No.
No, I don't mean that kind
of hurt.
Gillian, you keep forgetting
that my parents were incredibly
bad role models.
I don't know how to treat
a wife.
I don't know how to treat
you the way you deserve
to be treated.
Gillian: So we'll learn.
Baby, we'll learn.
I -- I don't know.
We can help each other.
I didn't have good role
models, either.
Why are you shaking your head?
Ryan: I'm sorry, Gillian,
not because I love you,
but for --
for letting you down.
Gillian: Ryan, you never let
me down.
I let you down.
You're a good person, and this
thing that you're afraid of,
of becoming your father
or your brother, it's not going
to happen!
Ryan: I can't take
that chance.
Gillian: Fine.
Adrian: You know, I got
to give you credit for
one thing.
Tad: Only one?
Adrian: Yeah.
You love Dixie like there's
no tomorrow, and you treat
her good.
She's a good woman, Tad.
Tad: She's the best.
Adrian: Yeah.
She's too good for you,
you know that.
Tad: Way too good.
Adrian: Well, good, at least
we agree on one thing.
Tad: Terrific.
Huh?
So what do you say?
You think we can pull this off,
act like one, big, happy family,
at least until after
the ceremony's over?
Adrian: You sure don't ask
for much.
Tad: Fine.
Pretend it's an assignment, ok?
Your mission, should you decide
to accept it, is to try to blend
in with the rest of the crowd,
just go with the flow.
Adrian: All right.
But I'm doing this for Dixie,
not for you.
Tad: Agreed.
Deal?
Adrian: Deal.
Get away from me.
Now, what do you want me to do?
Tad: Well, I never thought
I'd hear myself ask
you this, but --
you want to be an usher
in my wedding?
Jack: Something is just not
right here.
Erica: Jack!
Jack: Oh.
Erica: Well, what a surprise.
Jack: Yeah.
Where were you?
You didn't hear me calling you?
Erica: Well, I just got
dressed.
I was taking a bath.
Jack: Well, I was just about
to call the police.
Erica: The police?
Why?
Jack: Why?
Well, your door wasn't locked.
Your alarm was off.
I come in here, I don't see hide
nor hair of you.
Erica: Well, I told you,
I was taking a bath.
Jack: Well, as I recall,
that's a pretty good reason
to lock the door.
Erica: You're right,
of course.
I'm going to be much more
careful next time, I promise.
So, what are you doing here?
Jack: Well, I was checking
to see if you were ok.
I was worried about you after
what happened last night.
And you left before anybody had
a chance to stop you.
Erica: Well, I wanted
to be alone.
Jack: Where did you go?
I mean, Brooke and I came
by several times, but each time
we drove by, the house it was dark.
Erica: Oh, well, I took
a walk.
Jack: Well, that must have
been some long walk.
Erica: Well, it was.
I had a lot to think about.
Jack: I guess you
probably did.
Look, I -- I just wanted to let
you know how badly I feel about
that reporter sticking that
microphone in your face
and pulling your scarf off
and everything.
Erica: Oh.
It was unpleasant, but you know
something?
I feel much better now, really.
I had a revelation last night.
Jack: A revelation
about what?
Erica: Well, I mean, I really
can't say, but it just -- it
made me think differently about
the accident.
Jack: Really?
Erica: Yes.
I don't know what I'm going
to do about it yet, but I do
know I'll think of something.
Jack: Oh, I have no doubt
about that.
Erica: Well, so, now you've
seen that all I'm right, and so,
you can go.
Jack: You're still angry
with me, aren't you?
Erica: About what?
Jack: About my not being
altogether honest, when I saw
you in the hospital,
about your face.
Erica: Oh, no, no, no.
I mean, please, it was a long
time ago.
I've really moved on from there.
Jack: Well, that's good.
Erica: Yeah.
Jack: Well, maybe then
you and I could go back
to being friends.
Erica: If that's what
you want, I'm perfectly willing
to do that.
Of course.
Jack: Good.
Erica: Now, I'm sorry.
I really have to ask
you to excuse me.
I have so much to do tonight
because of the revelation.
Jack: The revelation?
Erica: Yes.
Jack: Ah.
Vanessa: Oh --
Erica: Vanessa.
Vanessa: Oh.
I -- I have never in my life
been so vilified, so unjustly
accused.
Erica: Who, what, David?
Vanessa: No.
No, no, I -- look, I'm too upset
to even discuss it.
My heart is pounding.
I -- I --
I need one of my pills, and I --
Erica: Ok.
Where are they?
I'll get them.
Vanessa: No, no.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
You have a guest.
Look, I think I left them
in your dressing room when
I helped you with your zipper.
I'll get them.
I'll get them.
I'll be fine.
Jack: Well, something's going
on here.
Erica, what are you up to?
Vanessa: Mmm.
Oh, there's no place like home,
no place like home, no place
like home.
There's always a way,
always a way, always a way.
Vanessa: Well, it proves
nobody's perfect.
Erica: What am I up to?
Jack: Yes.
What are you up to?
You've been acting strange
the whole time I've been here.
Erica: Strange? How?
Jack: Well, first off,
you don't answer your door,
and then there's all this
cryptic talk about a revelation,
and now you can't wait to get
rid of me.
Erica: I think you've been
the District Attorney too
long, Jack.
Jack: In other words,
you're pleading the fifth.
Erica: In other words,
I'm pleading innocent to any
wrongdoing.
Jack, thank you for coming by.
I really think it's wonderful,
and I will be in touch with you.
Jack: Lock this door.
Erica: I will.
Vanessa: Oh.
I --
Erica: Did you find
your pills?
Vanessa: Yes.
Erica: Good.
Vanessa: I felt I had
to take two.
I'm so unnerved.
This whole thing, it was so
out of the blue, so sudden.
I mean, I just don't know what
hit me.
This Janet --
Erica: Janet?
Janet Dillon?
What?
Vanessa: Janet -- I -- she --
I never realized she resented me
so for accepting your gracious
hospitality.
I mean, obviously, she's clearly
jealous of any kind
of friendship we have.
I had no idea she hated me so.
But, mean, what else can
explain it except for the --
I mean, to accuse me of doing
something so despicable
to the only true friend I have
in this town.
I mean, the whole thing is
really, really unthinkable.
Erica: Well, what are
you talking about?
Vanessa: Well, Janet accused
me of tipping off Jerry Reeves
about last night.
Erica: Tipping him off how?
Vanessa: Well, you know,
calling him, letting him know
that you're going to be
at the S.O.S. Bar so he could
have a camera crew there.
I mean, can you imagine why I'd
even want to be associated
with this disreputable man,
let alone in cahoots with him.
And accusing me of doing that
to you!
The whole thing is
the whole thing is unbelievable.
Erica: Well, I wonder where
she got that idea.
Vanessa: I can't even fathom
where that mind's -- that
woman's mind is coming from.
I really -- unless, of course,
she's mentally, mentally
unstable.
Erica: Well, I mean,
she's ok.
I mean, she's worked for me
for years.
She's my accountant.
Vanessa: That also concerns
me deeply, Erica.
I mean, think of the damage this
woman can do to your company
that you worked so hard to build
up if she's unstable.
Erica: Well, she's not.
I mean, no.
I've had no trouble
with her whatsoever.
No, she's no threat
to my company.
Vanessa: Erica, can you be
100% certain of that?
I mean, if this woman is running
around flowing out stories like
that, wild stories --
you know, I have this friend
who's an accountant.
Actually, she owns her
own company.
She's a highly, highly
sought-after CPA In New York.
I'm sure that for nothing
at all, she would look
at your books on the QT.
You know, she owes me a big
favor for all the clients I've
referred to her from palm beach.
I think it's something
u should do very,
very quickly, Erica, before any
other disasters take place.
[Telephone rings]
Erica: Hello?
Adam: Erica, it's me.
What happened with you
and Hayward?
Erica: Would you hold
on a moment, please?
Vanessa, this could take
a while.
Will you excuse me?
Oh, actually, you know,
maybe we should call on that
accountant friend of yours.
Why don't we do that,
but on the Q.T.
Do not say a word to Janet.
Vanessa: Of course not,
of course not.
I will call her on the fax
line, ok?
Erica: No, call her
from my office.
That way you can, you know,
go over there and you can just
collect all the books
at the same time and have
her take the train to
Philadelphia.
I'll have someone pick her up.
Vanessa: Erica, I know you're
doing the right thing.
Erica: Uh-huh.
Erica: Oh, what a day.
You know what, Adam?
You can wait.
Oh, I need a glass of champagne.
All right, mother. Ok.
I won't do that.
I won't drink.
I'll have a cup of tea.
Adam: Erica?
Erica, are you there?
Pick up the phone.
Erica?
Erica?
Jake: Gillian -- Gillian --
wait up a minute.
Gillian: Oh, I was just --
I was just going on my way out.
Jake: I want you to meet
somebody.
Gillian: Jake, I'm not
feeling very sociable right now.
Jake: Come on.
I want you to meet Colby.
Gillian: No.
No, I'd rather not disturb Liza.
She's never been my biggest fan.
Jake: But Liza's not even
in there.
She's out taking a walk
right now.
Come on.
I'm babysitting alone.
Jake: Isn't she beautiful?
Look at her.
Look at those eyes.
Look at those eyes.
Gillian: She's --
she's so tiny.
Jake: You want to hold her?
Gillian: Oh, no.
Couldn't.
Jake: No, she won't bite.
Sit. Sit.
Gillian: No, I'm afraid I'm
going to drop her.
Jake: Oh, no, no, no.
Sit.
Ok.
Yeah.
You ready to go for a ride?
Huh?
Want to go -- oh, yeah.
Oh!
Ooh!
Yes!
Just cradle her -- her head
there.
That's it, just like that.
Oh.
Gillian: Oh.
Hi!
Dixie: Dare I ask?
Tad: I think it's sushi.
Oh, that -- no.
Adrian just had to talk
to his older, wiser,
better-looking brother.
Dixie: Uh-huh.
Belinda: So, what was
that about?
Adrian: Well, would the lady
like an escort to Tad
and Dixie's wedding?
Belinda: The lady would be
delighted.
Opal: I'll second that.
Dixie: I'll third it.
Way to go.
Tad: Adrian's agreed to be
an usher at my wedding.
Opal: An usher?
Oh!
I -- I just -- I don't even know
which one of you to kiss first.
Oh!
Thank you.
Tad: In three, two --
Opal: And thank you.
[Tad squeals]
Tad: Thank you, Mom.
Yeah, Dixie doesn't call me that
old silver-tongued devil
for nothing.
Dixie: Oh, stop.
So, I hope that means that
you'll come to our wedding.
Tad: Oh, you've got to.
Oh, surely you can't resist
the sight of your son
resplendent in formal regalia?
Belinda: I know I'm looking
forward to it.
Alice: Um --
well, you said it was going
to be a small wedding.
Are you sure there's room
for one more?
Tad: Plenty.
It's going to be at my parents'
house -- my adoptive parents.
Opal: Oh, I told
you about them.
They're wonderful people.
Alice: Oh, I would love
to meet them sometime,
but I don't think that I'm going
to really --
Adrian: I --
Mom, I would love for
you to stay.
Alice: Well, since you put it
that way, how can I resist?
Dixie: That's great.
Well, this is wonderful.
You'll have a chance to meet Joe
and Ruth, and they'll have
a chance to meet you.
And I'm -- I'm sure that they're
going to love you, and I'm sure
you'll love them, too.
Tad: Terrific.
Now that that's settled,
why don't we all go on strap
on the old feed bag.
Dixie: Excellent.
Adrian: What a class --
you know what?
I'm starved.
Miss Keefer?
Dixie: Oh.
Belinda: Lead the way.
Opal: Go ahead, honey.
Dixie: Oh, my goodness.
Gillian: Oh, Jake.
Just look at these tiny
fingernails.
Imagine trying to give
her a manicure.
Jake: And look at
her eyelashes.
Gillian: Oh.
How can anybody be this tiny
and helpless and trusting?
Jake: We all start out
that way.
Gillian: Oh.
Colby, you are so lucky.
You have a mommy and a daddy who
loves you more than anything
in this world and who would do
anything for you.
Jake: I think she's smiling
at you.
Is she smiling?
Look.
Gillian: She is?
Jake: I don't know.
Gillian: Yeah, a little
smile.
Jake: Maybe.
I think she likes you, though.
Gillian: Jake, she's
beautiful.
Jake: Somebody else is
smiling, too.
I haven't seen that in a while.
Gillian: How can anybody not
smile looking down at this
little perfect angel?
Thank you, Colby.
Thank you, Jake.
Jake: Anytime.
Liza: Hi.
Ryan: Hi.
Liza: Ryan.
What's wrong?
Ryan: Will you do me a favor,
Liza?
Shoot me.
Please.
Just put me out of my misery
and shoot me.
Liza: What'd she do now?
Ryan: Who?
Liza: Gillian, of course.
Ryan: She didn't do
anything wrong.
It was me.
It was me.
Why?
Why do I keep hurting her?
Liza: What did you do?
Ryan: Well, she -- she tried
to do something right.
She filed for divorce,
and I should've just left it
at that.
But I didn't.
Liza: All right.
What'd you do after that?
Ryan: Well, I came down here
looking for her, which made
everything worse, of course.
I would just love to know why
I cannot leave that woman alone.
Liza: Because you love her.
Ryan, you know, it's not
too late.
Ryan: No, it --
all of the bad stuff -- all
of the bad stuff happened to me
when I fell in love with her.
It's like a curse.
It's like I'm cursed in love.
Liza: Ok.
You know, I used to feel that
about myself, too.
But look at Adam and me.
Look at everything we've been
through.
Ryan: Well, that's -- that's
different.
Liza: But it doesn't have
to be.
You could change if you really,
really wanted to.
Ryan: I -- I don't think so.
Liza: All right.
Look at Adam --
Adam Chandler.
I mean, he's the most
controlling, manipulative man
I have ever met.
He didn't want to admit that
he was controlling, that he had
weaknesses, that he tried
to take charge all the time
Ryan: And -- and now?
Liza: And now he's this
man who --
who opens up his heart to me
and tells me things that
he would never admit.
And every day, he opens up just
a little bit more.
And you know why?
Ryan: Why?
Liza: Because he loves me.
He loves me more than anyone
else in this world.
And that's what's going
to change you, is love --
Gillian's love for you
and your love for her.
Adam: Erica?
Erica, pick up the damn phone.
Erica, you pick up that phone
right now or I'm coming
over there.
Erica: Are you still there?
Adam: Erica, what happened
with you and Hayward after
I left?
Erica: He bathed my face.
Adam: Yes?
Erica: And we talked.
Adam: About what?
Does he know you're on to him?
Erica: On to him?
He's not the one who switched
the sperm samples.
Adam: Erica, don't you play
games with me.
Is Hayward on his way over
to the hospital to tell Liza?
Is my life about to go up
in flames?
Just answer the question.
Erica: You know, this is
so typical of you.
You are not the only one who's
had a bad day, Adam!
All you do is think about
yourself.
Adam: I'm also thinking
of Liza and Colby and what will
happen to them if Hayward
announces to the world that I'm
Colby's father.
Now, what did you say to him?
Erica: Look, I have problems
of my own, ok?
Rather pressing problems,
as a matter of fact.
Adam: Just answer
the question!
What did you say?
Did you tell him, or did you not
tell him?
I need to know.
Gillian: Ah.
I don't know if I'm quite ready
for this, having one of my own.
Jake: Yeah, I didn't think
I was ready, either,
until a couple of months ago.
But, I don't know, things
change.
Gillian: Yep.
Things change.
No matter how hard you try
and stop it, they just do.
They change.
Jake: You know my brother
tad's getting married this
Thursday.
Gillian: Oh.
Wow.
I wasn't invited.
Jake: Well, now you are.
Why don't you go with me?
Gillian: Are you serious?
Jake: Yeah, I'm serious.
Why don't you go with me?
Gillian: I think I'm working
Thursday.
Jake: No, don't worry
about work.
Don't worry about it.
I have a little in with
the chief of staff here.
So, come on.
What do you say?
Gillian: Hmm.
Ok. Yeah.
Jake: Ok.
Good.
Gillian: Jake, I think
you better take her.
She's getting a little heavy.
Jake: All right.
Get this.
All right, I'll take her first.
Twist my arm, ok.
Ok.
Oh, yes, yes, yes.
I got you.
I got you.
I got you.
You ready to go back to bed?
Hmm?
Here we go.
You are tired, aren't you?
Yes.
Opal: Well, it's just going
to be another minute or so while
cook, you know, carves
the roast, but sit down.
Tad: Well, I could have
done that.
Opal: Oh, no, no.
You know Helen.
She's very particular.
If it's not carved just so,
she says you lose the juices.
Adrian: She is right.
Tad: What do you know
about juices?
Oh, never mind.
I retract the question.
Opal: Um -- listen,
do you think it would be putting
on the dog too much if I got
finger bowls?
Dixie: Oh.
Um -- just skip the bowls.
Opal: Yeah.
Dixie: You don't need them.
Opal: All right.
Dixie: Uh, Alice,
I understand that you're
from the South.
I'm a Southerner myself.
I'm from West Virginia.
Alice: I thought I detected
a hint of an accent.
Dixie: Really?
Alice: Uh-huh.
Dixie: Hmm.
Tad: You know, I appreciate
you going along with this.
Adrian: Remember, I'm only
doing this for Dixie.
Tad: Sure.
After the wedding, you'll be
right back to your
charming self.
[Telephone rings]
Liza: Hi.
Adam: Hi.
Liza: Good news.
Adam: Well, I certainly can
use it.
Liza: Why?
Adam: Oh, nothing.
Just -- it's a business deal
that didn't work out.
What's the good news?
Liza: Oh.
If Colby passes all
of her tests, we get to go home
tomorrow.
Adam: Tomorrow?
Liza: Mm-hmm.
Isn't that wonderful?
Adam: It's great.
That certainly is.
Oh, yes, yes, yes.
