Joe: A spectacular day.
Tad: It is indeed.
Thanks for putting in a good
word for me, Dad.
Joe: Well, you and Dixie
getting married -- if that
doesn't bring out the sun,
I don't know what will.
Tad: Yeah.
Jamie: The world's a good
place.
Joe: Yeah.
Yeah, it is.
And your Mom and I couldn't be
happier for you.
Tad: Thanks.
I'm pretty happy myself.
Joe: And your idea of having
it all take place in Kate's
garden -- I can't think of two
people who belong there more.
Tad: I wish Grandma Kate were
here.
Joe: She is.
Jake: Birds are chirping,
sun is shining.
Beautiful day.
Huh?
Joe: We all sleep well,
Martin men?
Jake: Oh, yeah.
Jamie: Except for the fact
that Uncle Jake snores.
Jake: That wasn't me.
That was the bear.
Jamie: What bear?
Jake: The bear that sleeps
in the closet, right next
to the blue bathroom.
You didn't know about that?
By the way, I have dibs
on the shower in one minute.
And you --
I didn't think you were that
smart.
Dixie's a great woman.
Tad: I think so.
Jake: You are, too -- not
a woman, but that's all right.
I got to go shower.
Tad: Give my regards
to your rubber duck.
Jake: She's still not
speaking to you.
Joe: My sons, the comedians.
Tad: Back by popular demand.
Jamie: Is it time?
Tad: It is indeed.
Put those down.
Come on.
The gloves?
Jamie here are your gloves.
The shovels and buckets are
outside.
Joe: Hold on, hold on.
What do you mean?
What --
buckets and gloves?
What's the...?
Tad: Yeah.
Jamie bought Dixie and I a tree
for our wedding.
Joe: And you intend to plant
it here, in the yard?
Jamie: Next to Grandma Kate's
garden, near the spot where dad
and Dixie are going to get
married.
Joe: Today?
You're going to plant it today?
Tad: Sure.
It's got to be there
for the ceremony.
Joe: Ah.
Well, you know, Jamie,
it's a great idea.
Jamie: Thanks.
I picked out the tree myself.
Joe: Right, but listen.
You know, wouldn't it be better
if you postponed it, did it some
other time?
We have an awful lot of work
to do before, you know, we get
ready for the wedding.
We do, son.
Adrian: So tell me what
to do.
Joe: Yeah, I'm going
to tell you.
First thing you can do is talk
your brother into planting that
tree after the ceremony.
Adrian: Tree?
Tad: Dixie's tree.
Adrian: What tree?
Tad: It's a long story.
I'll tell you later.
Dad, don't worry about a thing.
James and I will plant the tree
lickety-split, and when it's
time to rake leaves, we'll take
care of all the work.
Joe: Yeah, yeah.
My son the gardener.
Oh, boy, oh, boy.
I hope he knows what he's doing.
Junior: What's all this guck?
Opal: "Guck"?
Those are tools of the trade,
mister.
Junior: Huh?
Opal: Yeah.
I am about to make your mama
into the mostest beautifulestest
bride that ever walked down
the aisle.
Junior: But Mom's already
beautiful.
Dixie and Opal: Oh!
Dixie: Aren't you
the handsomest, most intelligent
son that has ever walked
the planet.
Opal: Hmm.
Dixie: But I bet you're
hungry, huh?
Why don't you run downstairs
and have some breakfast while
auntie opal and I do our work.
I bet there's a -- I thought
I smelled blueberry pancakes
down there.
Opal: Mm-hmm.
Junior: All right!
Oh -- but you really don't need
any work.
Opal: Oh, boy, out
of the mouths of babes, huh?
That kid is going to make some
lucky gal a really terrific
husband.
Hayley: The bride brigade is
here!
[All shouting at once]
Hayley: Oh, makeup!
Dixie: Well, I don't know
if there's that much to do,
but having you all here is sure
wonderful.
Alice: How are you feeling?
Dixie: I'm feeling like it's
Christmas day and I'm about
to get everything that I ever
wanted.
Opal: Oh, it is Christmas
day, honey, and it's the first
day of summer vacation
and the picnic on the fourth
of July because you got all this
love and support around you.
Thanks, everybody, for coming.
Brooke: Oh, you know,
we're just here because we're
hoping that some of
the Tad-and-Dixie magic rubs off
on some of us.
Opal: Oh, really,
from your lips toGod's ears.
But we're all family this
morning, and what do families do
best but make beautiful
weddings?
So come on, you guys.
Let's get cracking.
Brooke: Oh.
Are you doing makeup?
Opal: Well, you know, I was
thinking about it, but hair is
really my specialty
and so I would welcome,
any support
from the peanut gallery.
Alice: Hey, this is
so much fun.
Opal: I know.
Now, look at this blush here.
Have you seen the dress?
I can't quite figure --
Brooke: Oh, you know what?
I think she could be wearing
a potato sack and Dixie would
still be beautiful, so forget
the --
Opal: Well, I'm not arguing
she's a natural beauty.
But, you know, on a day like
today, even nature could use
a little backup, right, Dix?
Brooke: What about --
Opal: Dixie?
Dixie?
Adam: Yes, I'd like to speak
to Dr. David Hayward.
Yes, I'm one of his patients.
I've called
the Valley Inn.
They told me to call
the hospital.
You have no idea where he's been
since yesterday?
No, no.
No message.
Liza: Who are you talking to?
Adam: Oh, I just called
the WRCW weather person to see
what was going on today.
Liza: Weather?
Adam: Yes, the wedding.
Tad and Dixie's wedding is
today.
Liza: Oh, that's right.
I forgot.
Oh.
Isn't she beautiful?
Adam: She's an angel.
Liza: I'll tell you, she has
the lungs of an opera singer.
How can something so small make
so much noise?
Adam: Well, she has to tell
us if she's hungry or
uncomfortable.
We don't speak baby, you know.
Liza: I'm beginning to.
Adam: She can keep me up all
of 1999 and she'll still be
the world's most perfect child.
Liza: You know, I will
remember that when we are
walking the floors tomorrow
night.
Adam: I love walking
the floors.
Liza: Well, I think
we visited every room in this
house walking her.
Adam: Wasn't it great?
Liza: You're great.
Adam: Nah.
Liza: Where'd all that
patience come from?
Adam: Oh, I don't know.
Maybe I've always been patient.
It's just never been tested.
Liza: Well, you'll get tested
all you want this time.
Adam: Hmm, good. Oh, by the way, the nurse,
the baby nurse, is here.
She got here about a half
an hour ago.
She's waiting in the nursery.
Liza: Ok.
Well, I should tell her about
Colby's night.
Adam: No, all taken care of.
You and I should start getting
dressed for the wedding.
Liza: No, no.
Oh, no, no.
I can't go.
David: Bread and water?
You want me alive?
Erica: Well, you're much more
interesting alive.
David: This floor is cold.
Erica: Oh, you want me
to fetch you a blanket
so you can jump me and end this.
Forget it.
David: You're enjoying this
little game, aren't you?
Erica: This is not a game,
David.
David: Well, call it whatever
you want.
But you're about to do permanent
damage to my fingers.
Erica: And wouldn't that be
a tragedy?
David: Yes, it would.
Erica: Just like my losing
my face.
David: Erica, I have told
you that I'm sorry.
Erica: Yeah, well,
somehow you never sounded very
convincing.
Your words are cheap.
Your words mean nothing.
David: Oh, yeah?
And what does this mean?
A woman has heart surgery,
has a psychotic breakdown,
and decides to torture
her doctor?
It might make a few medical
journals, but it hardly explains
how the universe came to be.
Erica: Oh, isn't that typical
that you would compare yourself
to the creation of the cosmos?
David: Oh, come on, Erica.
If they were casting the book
of "Genesis," you'd be
playing God.
Erica: I don't think I'll be
cast as anything anytime soon,
David.
I'm not exactly camera ready.
David: I know you feel
damaged.
Erica: You know how I feel?
I don't think so.
But you're going to know how
I feel.
You are going to know exactly
how it feels to lose the part
of you that makes you
who you are.
David: Ok, Erica, you made
your point.
And frankly, as devastating
as it might be, losing cosmetic
perfection -- it's not the same
thing as losing the ability
to save lives.
Erica: Oh, I see.
So your life is more important
than mine.
David: All right.
All right, look -- try --
try to understand this.
If I am not in surgery this
morning, a patient will die.
Erica: Oh, a patient?
What is that patient's name?
David: Baxter.
He's scheduled for
a quadruple
bypass.
Erica: And you are,
of course, the only cardiologist
who can perform this?
David: No.
But by the time they find
a replacement, Mr. Baxter might
be dead.
Erica: There's no contingency
plan in a Joe Martin hospital?
I don't think so.
David: If I don't show up,
the hospital will be on alert.
The police will be notified.
Eventually, they'll find me,
and you will be arrested.
Erica: I doubt it.
David: Fine.
If you don't care about breaking
the law, think about what you're
doing to an innocent patient.
He might die, Erica.
The man needs me.
Please, let me go.
Erica: And if I let you go,
what will you do?
David: Perform surgery,
save a life.
Erica: And right after
you save a life, you'll go
directly and destroy three
lives -- Adam, Liza, and Colby,
down the drain.
David: I guess you'll just
have to wait and see.
Eric well, I have time.
David: But Mr. Baxter
doesn't.
It's your choice, Erica.
You release me, and you save
a life.
You keep me here, and you kill
an innocent man.
Erica: You've done this before.
David: Done what?
Erica: Talked about a patient
who needed you, a life-and-death
situation.
Isn't that what you told me?
Didn't you tell me that night
that you had to get back
to Pine Valley because a patient
needed you, doctor?
The night you drove
so recklessly through
a blizzard, the night that
my face was destroyed?
But there was no patient,
was there, doctor?
David: All right, all right,
all right.
No.
No, there wasn't.
Erica: You lied.
David: I'm not lying now.
Mr. Baxter needs me, Erica.
Please, you have to let me go.
Erica: And if you don't,
he could die?
David: Yes.
Don't do this to him.
I'm needed in the O.R.
Erica: No, David.
You're not needed in
the OR. today.
And there is no Mr. Baxter.
David: You've lost your mind.
Erica: No, you've lost
your mind if you think that
I wouldn't call the hospital
and check on your schedule.
David: No.
No, they wouldn't have given
you that information.
Erica: Well, of course
they would.
I'm your patient, remember?
And when a patient needs
her doctor -- and how surprised
I was that you weren't
at the hospital today and that
you had no operations scheduled
and no meetings scheduled,
either.
David: You need your
medication, Erica.
Erica: I need medication
because you're lying to me?
Because I don't believe a man
who has lied and lied to me over
and over again, a man who has
ruined my life?
David: Let me go.
Erica: That's all you think
about, isn't it?
You and your fingers
and your work and getting out
of here.
Well, how does it feel to be
trapped, doctor?
How does it feel to be trapped
and not able to do your work,
not able to do what you're good
at and what you love to do,
what people need?
David: You sell lipstick,
for crying out loud!
I save people's lives!
Erica: Oh, isn't that just
like you to try to belittle what
I do.
For your information,
doctor, I give people hope just
like you do.
I give them the tools to make
them feel good about themselves
just like you do.
And because of you, I almost
died!
David: No, no, no.
You almost died because
a jackass abandoned his truck
in the middle of the interstate,
in the middle of a snowstorm!
But I saved your life!
Erica: Oh, thank you so much!
You call this a life?
A life where I can be consumed
by pain and disfigurement?
Well, under this mask, I may
look like a monster,
but you are a monster.
David: You keep me captive
in your cellar, and you call me
a monster?
Erica: You refused to help
your own mother when she needed
your help, when she was having
a heart attack!
You almost killed Adam Chandler,
and now you want to ruin three
lives -- Adam, Liza,
and a newborn baby!
David: You're out of control.
Erica: I'm out of control?
David: Yes!
Listen to yourself!
Erica: Oh, you are the one
who needs control, who wants
control, who demands control
over everyone -- patients
and family and everyone who
comes in your path.
Well, you know what?
You've lost control.
You don't have the control
anymore.
I have the power,
and I have the control,
not you.
David: No.
No, you do not!
You will never control me.
Do you hear me?
No woman will ever control me --
never!
Adam: Sweetheart, we have
a baby nurse in the nursery
and an entire household staff.
Colby will be fine.
Liza: But I won't.
I don't want to be out
of the room if -- if she needs
me, if she calls.
I want to be able to walk across
the room and pick her up.
Adam: Tad is counting
on you being there.
Liza: Well, then you go,
and I'll stay with Colby.
Adam: That's nutty.
That's totally nutty.
Tad doesn't want to see me,
he wants to see you.
And Dixie would be more than
happy not to see
on her wedding day.
Liza: Junior's in
the wedding.
You're Junior's father.
You should go.
Adam: Oh, well, I -- well,
then, we both should go
or we both should stay
with Colby.
That's it.
Scott: Hi.
Liza: Hi.
Scott: I came to see Colby.
Liza: Well.
Adam: Scott.
When did you get back?
Scott: Last night.
Liza: Welcome home.
Scott: Thanks.
Adam: When did you get in?
Scott: Last night.
Dad tried calling, but
he couldn't get through.
Liza: Really?
I didn't hear the phone ring.
Adam: Oh.
I disconnected all the ringers.
Liza: Adam.
Adam: Well, I just didn't
want to disturb Colby
we've been up most of the night.
Scott: And there's the bundle of joy there, huh?
Adam: Right there.
Behold.
Scott: Oh, wow.
She's so beautiful.
Adam: Yeah.
Scott: So little.
Liza: Yeah.
I'll tell you, she's something
else.
I don't like to get
her in a position where she's
out of my sight for a minute.
Adam: Yeah, we've been having
a little -- a little new baby
crisis here, I guess you'd
call it.
We both want to stay home
with Colby, but we're both
supposed to go to a wedding --
tad and Dixie's.
Scott: Tad and Dixie?
Liza: Mm-hmm.
Scott: Well, things have been
happening, huh?
Liza: Mm-hmm, as you can see
right here.
Scott: Yes.
Some very modern arrangements
by way of Jake Martin,
I understand.
Liza: Yeah.
Hey, that's a great idea.
Why don't you go to the wedding
with Scott?
You -- you could go
to the wedding with uncle Adam.
Adam: Sweetheart, no, no, no.
If you're not going
to the wedding, I'm not going
to the wedding.
Liza: Oh, please.
One of us has to go,
and you could catch up
with Scott.
Adam: Well, no.
No, no, no, no.
No, I just don't want to leave
Colby.
Liza: You know, anyone would
think that you're in love,
Mr. Chandler.
Adam: Anyone would be right.
Dixie: Uncle Palmer.
Hi.
How are you?
Palmer: Shouldn't you be
dressing for your wedding?
You are getting married today,
aren't you?
Dixie: Yes.
I'm happy to say I am.
Palmer: My condolences.
Dixie: Um --
Palmer: You want something?
Dixie: Yes.
I would like you at my wedding.
Palmer: I'd rather eat glass.
Dixie: Uncle Palmer,
please, I would really,
really like you at my wedding.
Palmer: I don't approve
of this wedding.
I don't approve of Tad.
And I will not stand by and see
another disaster.
Dixie: Look, Uncle Palmer,
I know that we have had s
ome
major disagreements.
Palmer: You betrayed me
to Opal.
I hardly call that a
disagreement.
Dixie: I did not betray
you to -- I don't want to argue
with you today, ok?
Please, you're my mother's
brother.
I mean, couldn't you,
for your sister's sake,
set aside grudges and be there
for me on what's supposed to be
one of the happiest days
of my life?
Joe: It's good to see
you and Tad on a friendly
footing.
Adrian: Well, today being
what it is, we thought we should
call a truce.
Joe: Well, good.
Families should do more of that
sort of thing.
Jake: What happened
to the water?
Joe: Yeah?
What's wrong with the water?
Jake: The water, it cut
out -- I mean, there isn't any.
Joe: Well, sometimes it does
that.
The hot water gives up when
you use it --
Jake: Dad, I don't mean hot
water.
I mean, there's no water of any
kind.
It completely cut out -- zero,
zip, zilch, no more.
Joe: Oh, boy.
The tree.
Jake: The tree?
What tree?
Joe: They went out to plant
a tree.
Jake: A tree? Now?
Joe: Yeah.
Jake: Why, why?
It's his wedding day.
Adrian: It's for Dixie.
Jake: I think we've got
a problem, Grandpa.
Joe: Oh, boy.
What?
Jamie: Well, Dad only swung
the pickax a couple of times,
but the ground was really
hard and --
Joe: Oh, tell me you didn't!
Tad: Dad, I didn't mean to.
I swear I didn't.
I don't know what to say.
I mean, one minute, I was
digging a hole.
The next thing I knew, I was --
Joe: The next thing, you went
into our water main.
Tad: Well, it's -- it's not
so bad, Dad.
Really, it's not.
I mean, it's -- it's a kind
of nice effect, you know,
like a lakeside deal.
Joe: Yeah, maybe like
a swampside deal.
Jamie: Did we make a mistake?
Tad: We made a disaster. ,
Can you turn it off
by the source?
Joe: Well, no, not if it's
the water main.
Oh, hey, call the water
department, quick.
Adrian: All right, I'm on it.
Jake: Does that mean I can't
finish my shower?
I'm cold.
Joe: Aw.
Tad: Help yourself.
There's plenty of water out
there.
I may join you.
At this point, I'd rather drown
than explain what happened
to Mom.
Jake: You got the touch.
Tad: Look, what are we going
to do about the wedding?
The ceremony's supposed to be
at the garden with the reception
spilling into the front yard.
Jake: Well, now what's going
in the front yard is about
100,000 gallons of water.
Joe: Where are people going
to park?
Jamie: Cars?
They'll need boats to get to the house.
Tad: Don't be funny.
We're talking about Dixie's
wedding.
Ryan: Hey.
You guys know there's a lake out
there?
It's spreading very quickly.
I had to park --
all right.
Ok, how can I help?
Jake: You got any idea where
we can relocate the wedding?
Ryan: Uh -- Valley Inn?
Tad: Forget it.
I called them first weeks ago.
They're booked solid.
Dimitri: Whoa!
Hey, Tad, everyone, you know
it's kind of wet out there,
right?
Edmund: You know you got
a lake out in your front
yard, Joe?
Joe: Ha-ha-ha, ha-ha-ha.
Jamie: Dad made a dumb move.
Now we might have to cancel
the wedding.
Ryan: Whoa, whoa.
Not cancel -- postpone, right?
We can make some calls?
Tad: No, not on your life.
I promised Dixie we were getting
married today, and today it is.
May 20 is going down in history.
Joe: As what?
A day at the beach?
Look, maybe we better take
Ryan's suggestion and start
calling people.
Tad: No, no, no.
Nobody do anything.
Get out of my way.
I'll take care of this.
Joe: Oh -- yeah. Please --
Adrian: I know.
I'm on it, I'm on it.
Dimitri: Whoa!
Liza: You and Scott
and Stuart go to the wedding,
and I'll stay at home
with Colby.
Adam: Liza, I am not going
to leave you here alone.
Liza: I'll call
mother.
I'll have her keep me company.
Adam: No.
No, no, I have the perfect
solution -- we'll all go
to the wedding.
Liza: We're not taking
a newborn to a ceremony.
Adam: We'll take Colby
and the baby nurse and put them
in the limo while we're inside
in the ceremony.
Liza: I guess that could
work.
Adam: Of course it could
work.
There's room in the limousine
for all of the baby's stuff.
And then Colby can take a nap.
And every 15 or 20 seconds,
you can come out and check
on her.
Liza: You're a genius.
Adam: But of course.
I want my women with me.
Liza: Oh.
Fine, it's settled.
So, anyway, tell me what has
been going on in the west
in college land.
Scott: Quite a lot, actually.
Liza: Hmm.
Any news in the communications
field?
Scott: Hopefully my own.
I was going to ask you
if there's any positions
available at WRCW.
Liza: Any particular area?
Scott: Directing, editing.
I took a few film classes,
and I've done a lot of work
as a cameraman.
Liza: Really?
Welcome to the dark side.
Scott: It's neat to finally
settle on a direction.
Liza: Television.
Scott: For starters.
I think I could be real useful
at WRCW, learning my way up
the ladder.
Liza: Well, we've missed you.
And, you know, you're a good
worker, you're intelligent.
Really, I think it could work.
Scott: You think so?
Liza: Yeah.
Why don't we talk.
Adam: Why don't you talk
in the next room so we don't
keep Colby awake.
Liza: Oh, well, ok.
I don't think we will,
but I don't want to be out
of her sight.
Adam: But I'll watch -- I'll
call you if she makes a peep.
I swear.
Liza: Ok.
I'll be back in 10 minutes.
Adam: Ok.
Liza: Come on.
Adam: Answer the phone,
Erica.
Answer it, damn it!
I know you're up to something.
David: You are going to pay
for this, Erica.
[Telephone rings]
Erica: Why are you
so obsessed with a woman getting
the best of you, as if there
were some best of you to get?
David: You do not control me.
Erica: Then get up and go. N
this gets to you, doesn't it?
I mean, in the most
profound way.
David: You think you know me.
You don't.
But I know you.
You think you're enlightened,
thoughtful, sensitive?
But you're none of those things,
or else you couldn't be doing
this to me.
Erica: Oh, I don't think
anyone would go along with that
reasoning.
David: You think that
the world adores you,
that you deserve all the fame,
money, power, pleasure you can
rake in.
So you rake it in.
You take and take and take till
you've destroyed every man who's
ever loved you.
You don't care who you trample
on or even who you kill as long
as you get what you want.
Erica: You're not talking
about me.
You're talking about somebody
else.
Somebody has done you a great
deal of harm -- a woman.
Who is it, David?
Who turned you into this
woman-hating fiend?
Erica: I thought that we were
communicating, and now you've
shut down.
Why?
David: Oh, I'm sorry.
You want a heart-to-heart?
The ambience isn't exactly
conducive.
Erica: Well, indulge me.
You're not going anywhere.
Who are you really?
David: I'm a healer.
I make very sick people well.
I don't know how I got the gift
or where it came from,
and frankly, I don't care
to know.
But I have it.
So no matter what else I might
do, what else you or the world
might think of me, I can save
lives.
And when I involve myself
with a patient, I think only
of that patient's welfare.
Erica: Even if you created
that patient's affliction?
David: Erica, if you would
just abandon this absurd
conspiracy theory and follow
Fascinella's orders, your face
might be completely restored.
Erica: Oh, yes.
Vanessa filled me in
on dr. Fascinella.
David: Oh, great.
Good.
My loving mother.
What else did she tell you about
Fascinella?
Erica: She told me that
the good doctor was a friend
of yours from med school
and that he would do anything
you tell him to do,
including to me to give me
hope that I might recover,
and the lie is really meant
to keep me quiet.
David: The lie is Vanessa's.
Ok, yes.
Yes, Eduardo and I are friends,
and yes, we did meet
in med school.
But he's honestly a brilliant
plastic surgeon.
You can't believe my mother's
lies.
Erica: Why not?
Why not, David?
Is she evil?
David: Yes.
She would like to destroy you.
Erica: Why would Vanessa want
to destroy me?
David: Because she hates
you as much as she hates me.
As a narcissist, she has us both
beaten hands down, Erica.
She is so consumed with not
getting what she really wants
that when she sees someone who
has it -- fame, fortune,
talent -- she annihilates them.
Erica: Well, David, I know
you don't love your mother,
but, "annihilates"?
David: Yes.
She's a killer, Erica.
And the sooner you believe that,
the better off you'll be.
She'll kill you if she can.
Dixie: Uncle palmer, I know
in your heart that you don't
want all this bad blood
between us.
I know that.
Palmer: You think that I'm
wrong about Opal.
Well, I think you're wrong.
Dixie: Could we just forget
about Opal and the divorce
and think about pigeon hollow
and your sister and
your sister's daughter,
who wants more than anything
to have her uncle see her get
married?
Please.
You're my family.
You should be at my wedding.
Palmer: If I thought you were
making a decent marriage,
I might be tempted.
But you are about to repeat
a mistake that brought
you misery before, and it will
again.
Dixie: Well, I'm sorry
you see that way.
And I'm sorry you're making
yourself so unhappy and lonely.
Tad: Honey.
Dixie: What are you doing?
Tad: I have to talk to you.
Dixie: No, no!
{Dixie hids behind a door}
Tad: No, no, wait,
wait, wait --
Dixie: No, no, no --
Tad: This is important.
Wait.
Dixie: No, no, no!
You can't see me on
our wedding day!
Tad: Well, that's going
to make our honeymoon really
interesting.
Dixie: It's bad luck.
It's bad luck to see somebody
on your wedding day.
Tad: You want to know about
bad luck?
Dixie: What are you doing
here anyway?
Aren't you supposed to be
at your parents' house getting
dressed?
Tad: Honey, that's the thing.
I was supposed to be
at my parents' getting dressed,
but my parents' is underwater.
I broke a pipe and --
and the back yard is flooded.
Dixie: You're kidding.
Tad: No.
Dixie: How did that happen?
Tad: That's what I'm --
Dixie: Wait, don't tell me.
Don't tell me.
I don't want to know, I don't
want to know.
No, I want to know.
You know, tell me.
I could use a good laugh.
Tad: All right, fine.
Look, I -- Jamie and I were
doing some gardening, you know.
We were planting our tree,
and I accidentally swung this
pickax and it -- I hit the main
water line.
Long story short, Mom and Dad
now have their own moat, and I'm
here looking for a new place
for us to get hitched.
Dixie: Oh, baby.
Don't you know I would marry
you on a street corner
if I had to?
Tad: Yeah, well, I think
they're all booked,
but I appreciate the sentiment.
Dixie: Hmm.
Oh, you're going to find
someplace.
I know you will.
Tad: I will, honey.
I promise you I will.
I'm going to fix this somehow.
I'll take care of it.
Um -- I'm going to make
our wedding day as beautiful
and memorable as I possibly can,
but I need you to do me a favor.
Just go back to Opal's and start
to get ready and I'll call
you later with the coordinates,
all right?
Dixie: All right.
Tad: Ok.
Dixie: I want to kiss you,
but I must resist.
Tad: Uh-huh.
Dixie: I've already gotten
the water gods angry.
Ok, close your eyes.
Don't look, ok?
Tad: All right.
Go.
Dixie: You are so good.
Tad: Mm-hmm.
Tad: Hey.
What's up?
Adrian: Look, I tried.
I even tried to use my best
"undercover operative working
for the free world," but it
didn't work.
It's a no-go, guy.
Tad: That's ridiculous.
This place has got to have
something.
Adrian: No.
Tad: I mean, it's full
of these special rooms.
Adrian: They're all booked up
for this -- some dog show
or something.
You see all the rings out
in front?
Tad: Dog show?
What are you telling me --
canines outrank human
beings now?
Adrian: Well, seems to be
this weekend, if they're
huskies, they do.
Tad: Siberian huskies?
Adrian: Yeah.
They've got the Garden room,
the Colonial room, the
Cumberland room, the
Shenandoah --
Tad: Shh, shh.
WAIT,... wait, wait.
Adrian: What?
Tad: I got an idea.
Listen --
Adrian: No.
Tad: No, no, just back me up
if I need you, ok?
You think you got scams?
You ain't seen nothing yet.
Adrian: All right.
Tad: Huskies.
Got to love them.
Woman: Oh, you're Tad Martin,
aren't you?
Tad: That's right.
Woman: From "the Cutting
Edge."
Tad: "The Cutting Edge,"
that's right.
And you are?
Woman: I'm Dottie Burke.
Tad: Dottie.
Dottie: Yeah.
I'm president of the
Pennsylvania Siberian husky
club.
Tad: President?
Well, isn't that something?
Nice to meet you.
You know something?
I used to have a husky
myself.
Actually, I had two of them.
They were great -- you know,
smart and beautiful and loving.
They were wonderful pets.
Dottie: "Were"?
What happened to them?
Tad: Oh, well, I'm afraid
that Boris and Schotzie have
gone to that great iditarod
in the sky, you know.
Dottie: Oh.
Tad: But I'll never forget
them.
They're -- they're a part of me,
you know?
Actually, you know what?
We're thinking of doing
a segment on the show about pet
owners, and I was going to talk
about it, but since you're
the president, how would
you like to come on and talk
about how great the husky
breed is?
Dottie: Oh!
Joe: Jake, Jake.
How's your mother holding up?
Jake: So far, so good.
She's trying everybody
she knows.
Even tried the hospital,
but no dice.
Joe: Yeah.
Jake: She's calm, though.
Jack: Oh, you can't be
talking about your mother.
Mateo: Oh.
Ruth Martin is freaking -- oh,
Dr. Martin.
Um, yeah.
She -- she called S.O.S. Asking
if maybe she could stage
the wedding there, and --
the air conditioning's out,
but she's --
Jack: Yeah.
She actually called me,
too, and I don't even own
a restaurant.
She was pretty --
Jake: She's not freaking out.
Joe: Oh, boy, oh, boy.
I don't know what we're going
to do.
[Telephone rings]
Edmund: Listen, Joe,
I'd offer you the Wildwind
chapel.
Dimitri: Unfortunately,
it's being reroofed as we speak.
Remember?
Edmund: But if Tad strikes
out, we can always fix up
the terrace.
Dimitri: Yeah, the terrace.
Joe: Well, thank you both.
[Jake whistles]
Jake: It's Adrian
at the Valley Inn.
What's happening?
Adrian: Quite possibly
a miracle.
Jake: What?
What? What?
What? What?
Adrian: Tad may have just
landed the Garden Room
at the Valley Inn.
Tad: Thanks a lot.
Bye-bye.
{Tad gives Adrian the "thumbs up" and proceeds to do
a very HAPPY dance!]
Adrian: Hey, he did it.
He did it.
Listen, get the word out that
the ceremony's going to be here
at the Valley Inn.
All right?
Jake: All right, all right.
Good.
We'll see you when we get there.
Adrian: Listen, one more
thing.
Don't hang up, all right?
Tad and I need you to bring
our clothes over here.
We're going to stay here and get
things set up.
Jake: Roger that.
Adrian: And don't forget --
tell Dixie what happened.
Jake: Oh. Right.
All right, everybody to the car
phones, cell phones.
The wedding has been rerouted
to the Garden Room at
the
Valley Inn.
Mateo: Garden Room,
all right.
Joe: Look, I got the guest
list right here.
I'll give everybody a page.
Ryan: All right.
Cell phone.
Mateo: I got the kitchen!
I got the kitchen.
Joe: All right.
There you are.
Mateo: Thank you very much.
Dimitri: All right,
thank you.
Jamie: I'll tell Grandma.
Dimitri: I'll be out
in my car.
Joe: I'll get upstairs.
Ryan: Spectacular. Gillian you look just great..
Gillian: You look -- you look
pretty spectacular yourself.
Ryan: Thank you.
Gillian: Do you think
Dr. Martin knows that there's
a lake in his front yard?
Ryan: Yeah, yeah.
He knows, he knows.
Gillian: What happened?
Ryan: Oh, don't ask,
don't ask.
They're moving the wedding
to the Valley Inn.
But I'm sure Mrs. Martin could
use some help moving the flowers
and the decorations over.
Jake's upstairs making some
calls.
Gillian: Ok.
Ryan: Yeah.
Gillian: Well, it was nice --
it's nice to see you.
Ryan: Yeah.
Nice to see you, too.
Gillian: I think Mrs. Martin
is upstairs, so I'll just go.
Mateo: Hey.
How's my beautiful wife, huh?
What are you wearing?
Oh, oh, listen, listen.
Um -- tell Dixie that Tad got
the Garden Room at the
Valley Inn for the wedding.
Yeah.
Opal: Honey.
Dixie: Hi.
Opal: Oh, my goodness.
I was worried about you.
Where have you been?
Are you ok?
Dixie: Yeah.
I just tried to do the
impossible.
Opal: What's that?
Dixie: Tried to get somebody
to come to my wedding.
Opal: A family somebody?
Palmer won't come?
Well, it is his loss, honey.
You just remember that.
And if he is alone at the end
of his days, it'll be
his loss, too.
I'm sorry.
Hayley: Ok.
Everybody, the wedding's been
moved --
Brooke and Opal: What?
Hayley: To the Garden Room
at the Valley Inn, and
the Martins need our help.
Opal: Uh-oh.
Hayley: Chop-chop.
Brooke: That's a pretty
place.
They did?
Hayley: Let's go.
Alice: Ok.
[All talking at once]
Brooke: We'll see you there.
Belinda: Ok, we'll see
you there.
Dixie: All right, good.
Junior: Mom, you're not
changed.
You haven't changed your mind,
have you?
Dixie: No, no, no, no.
No, no, don't worry.
I'm not going to be late,
either.
I'm going to marry Tad come frog
blizzards, quakes, or floods.
Junior: Frog blizzards?
Dixie: Oh, yeah.
They're the worst.
Junior: Well, I like frogs.
Dixie: Oh, sweetie.
I'm going to be so happy when
we're all a family, you and me
and Tad and Jamie.
Junior: I can't wait till
Jamie's my brother.
Opal: Yeah.
Well, then, we got to get these
troops going.
It's showtime.
Dixie: Oh, no.
Opal: You sit down here,
little miss.
I'm going to use some of this
guck --
Dixie: Ah!
Opal: And just spray
the daylights out of her!
Dixie: Ok.
David: You're a wonderful
mother, Erica.
Of course it would be difficult
for you to conceive of a mother
who'd never love her child,
never hold him or rock him
to sleep at night, or even say
a kind word to him.
Erica: But I've seen Vanessa
with you.
And I've heard her talk about
you, and she loves you.
David: Oh, no.
It's an act.
She pretends to love me
because that's the role she's
playing right now -- mother
of a cardiologist -- of a famous
cardiologist, no less.
Is it any wonder that I'm
so good at fixing broken hearts?
Erica: Well, some mothers
aren't as good as others
at nurturing, but that doesn't
mean they don't love
their children.
David: Why is it so hard
for you to believe this, Erica?
You called me a monster?
It's Vanessa who's the
monster -- a cold, calculating,
self-serving monster.
Erica: But you called
her a killer.
Now, surely that's an
exaggeration.
David: Have I ever mentioned
how my father died?
Vanessa killed him.
Erica: Well, it must have
been terrible for you -- I mean,
your father committing suicide.
David: Yes.
It was devastating.
Erica: But your father took
his own life.
Surely you can't blame
your mother for that.
David: No.
It was all her doing.
Erica: I find that very
difficult to believe.
David: I can't.
No, I've already said enough.
Erica: If you stop now,
I will never believe another
word you say.
Tell me, David.
Go on.
[Classical music plays]
Minister: Tad?
You know, I really have to hand
it to you, moving the wedding.
But where's your bride?
Tad: Oh, she'll be here.
Trust me.
Minister: Oh!
[Gallery reacts]
Man: [Chasing dog} Esther, heel!
Heel!
Sorry.
He's excited.
Tad: It's all right.
I know how he feels.
