and double what you were originally going to spend on my mother's wedding?
This wedding will be more than spectacular.
Since the hearing has been postponed and I have custody of Max,
he'll be coming with us as soon as we find a new place right here.
Moonlighting for the phone company, Doctor?
You and I need to talk.
I was talking. Business.
So I heard. A piece for television. Very impressive.
Who let you in here?
Your secretary. I told her I was a doctor and that this was urgent.
Bianca's doctor?
Mm-hmm.
Well, as soon as I assure my secretary that my daughter is fine,
I will instruct her to have you thrown out.
I never make the same mistake twice. How about you?
You have five minutes.
I feel we got off on the wrong foot.
I would like to start over.
Why?
Well, I think we have a lot in common.
We both travel in the same circles. We enjoy the same things.
I think we could both be friends.
Well, that's a bizarre and frightening thought.
You know what day it is?
D-Day, as in the day your mother declared a disaster.
Have you seen my earrings?
Your earrings?
They're there on the table.
Oh, thank you.
I mean, there's just no time, Liza.
I mean, the wedding might just as well be in an hour
for all the preparations he's made.
I don't think you have to worry.
Ah, she's expecting you.
Is she all right? I got the urgent message.
Well, there you are.
Why haven't you returned all my calls, Opal?
I have had a couple of things on my plate, Marion.
Want some coffee?
Don't you give her a thing until she tells me why she deserted me
in my hour of need.
I mean, you have really hurt my feelings, Opal.
Black, two lumps right on your mama's head.
You know, you're not the only one with problems around here, Marion.
Well, I am the only one who just lost a wedding today, okay?
Oh, yeah? What happened? Stuart come to his senses?
Well, at least Stuart loves me,
which is more than I can say about you.
All right, all right. Children, children.
Shall we start again?
Okay, okay.
Adam reneged on his promise for a deluxe wedding for two,
and I've been calling every hotel in a 50-mile radius,
and there's nothing available.
Well, there's always Vegas.
I would go there.
I would marry Stuart on an oil rig if I had to,
but he deserves more.
He deserves romance and poetry.
Well, what about Paris?
Wouldn't that plan be you and Stuart all up in the city of love?
Oh, please.
They treat their dogs better than they do their lovers.
I mean, at least they're foreign lovers.
You know, I was already booked.
Mother, I told you, I don't think you have to worry.
Liza, you weren't there. He was vicious.
You know how he gets.
His eyes got all mean and squinty, and those dreadful teeth.
I thought he was gonna bite me.
Mother, no one bites you.
Well, thank you for being so supportive, and I love you for that.
But remember what he did last time to me?
All those historical figures at my surprise dinner?
All right, okay.
I'm gonna tell you, I had a talk with Adam last night,
a very serious talk,
and I wouldn't doubt that he's done a complete 180
on this wedding thing.
I don't think you have anything to worry about.
Hello?
Scott!
Scott, I haven't heard of your voice in such a long time.
When are you coming home?
The wedding.
Well, that's kind of up to Adam.
We're gonna have a wedding.
We're getting married, but we don't know when or where.
Yeah.
Whoops.
Excuse me.
I'm being invaded by a bunch of chairs.
They're very pretty chairs.
Excuse me, I'll have to call you back.
Yeah, no, you're home.
Right, okay.
Excuse me.
I think maybe you got the wrong address.
Um, whatever.
I didn't order any.
What is this stuff anyway?
Your wedding.
I hope you like it, Stuart.
You're gonna move out before the next custody hearing?
Raquel, you knew it was a temporary situation, all right?
Our plan was always to move out.
I thought the plan was to wait until we knew how things were gonna work out.
So Max moved around as little as possible.
He just told us that the hearing was postponed, and we don't even know why.
So there's no telling how long this thing's gonna last,
how long this could take to get resolved.
Look, Mateo, Max just got comfortable here.
It's not fair to him.
Okay, listen, listen, it's not like we've found a place to live yet.
It's gonna take a little while.
He can help us look around.
That's cruel.
He's a little boy.
What's cruel is letting him go on thinking that we're all gonna live together for the rest of our lives.
She's right.
He needs to know the truth, and now that we're all comfortable with one another,
I think he can handle it.
Daddy, daddy!
Hey, big guy.
How are you? What's this?
I made it at school for you and Mommy.
Look, Mommy.
What's wrong?
Ask your father.

Hey, Baxter. What's for lunch?
Chicken noodle. Been eating it since I was a kid.
I used to eat condensed soup, and then I learned my ABCs.
You're an adult now. There's a better tasting soup.
Progresso Chicken Noodle with only white meat chicken, big vegetables, just the right seasonings.
See what I mean?
Mmm, much better.
Told ya.
Now, wanna talk about that lunchbox?

Honey Nut Cheerios.
Sorry, Red. Nothing personal.

The Arm and Hammer Challenge. How's your cat litter work?
The odor clumps break apart.
Then the smell is left behind.
Let's compare it to Super Scoop.
With our brand, the odor clumps are breaking up.
The Arm and Hammer odor clumps all in one piece. It's amazing.
It would cut down on the smell.
Try the super way to scoop odor away.
V-Day draws near, and thousands walk to their Hallmark Gold Crown store.
Why? Because when you buy three Valentines, you get this box of Hallmark chocolates free.
Mmm, victory never tasted so sweet. Remember, V-Day is Sunday.
I don't need an exercise class to get exercise.
My life gives me plenty of that.
And always, with new Flexi Wings, helps protect me, no matter how much I'm doing.
The wings wrap around so smoothly and move when I do.
I have really great overall protection, even better than with my ordinary Maxi.
And the Flexible Wings help my pad stay right where it should,
which is a lot more than I can say for these two.
Always, with new Flexi Wings, better protection.
Little Hershey's Kisses. Big chocolate taste.

Personal flying machines are on their way.
Watch ABC's World News Tonight with Peter Jennings.
It's an unbelievable February of the year.
Tomorrow, Jerry Springer goes one-on-one with Barbara Walters.
It's male co-host week.
You're unbelievable.
Let me get that for you, buddy. There you go.
Here you go, sweetie. Listen, Max.
You know how I told you about holidays?
You know, the restaurant that we owned and how we had to close it down
and move in here until we could figure out what we were going to do next?
Uh-huh.
Well, you know, listen, we've had a terrific time living here.
Okay? And it's worked out great.
You and your mom spending time with us so we can get to know each other.
But this is Sam and Maddie's house.
And it's time for us to find our own houses.
With you and me and Mommy?
Uh, not exactly.
You see, Haley and I, we're going to find a house together, okay?
And we're going to help your mom find a real nice place nearby.
Right?
And I know that you've moved around a lot,
but now that we've found each other, it's going to be great.
It really is.
And you're going to have your same school and, you know...
He doesn't understand.
Mr. My Daddy?
You got mad because... Excuse me.
Because I wouldn't go to Dixie
and try to get her to talk Junior and to stay in Pine Valley.
And so you said no wedding.
Stuart, I didn't mean that.
I was just venting.
I apologize. I hope this makes it up to you.
Well, it looks pretty...
Well, that's really up to Marion.
She may have other plans.
Yes, of course.
Well, however you decide to tie the knot,
I hope you'll let me be part of that celebration.
You may put something in your coffee.
That's what I know of.
Well, then what happened? Why did you change your mind?
Liza.
I made him an offer he couldn't refuse.
Oh, Liza, you didn't.
Oh, I didn't tell him I was going to kill him.
I told him that I would be very, very, very unhappy
if it wasn't the most spectacular wedding this town ever saw.
Yeah, well, that only works if they love you.
Believe me, I know.
Oh, darling, Palmer loved you in his own twisted little way.
Palmer loves Palmer,
and that's the last word I'm saying on the subject.
So, where is this faboo wedding going to be held then?
I have no idea.
Well, whatever Adam dreams up, it's going to be spectacular.
And soon.
Winter wedding, that's romantic.
Snow on the ground, a nice fire in the fireplace,
and somebody you can trust and respect to snuggle up with.
Mm, mm, and it's February,
and it means that every time that time of year
you get to go rushing off to the islands
because it's your anniversary.
That sounds good. Oh, yeah, I can see
in one of them South Seas sarongs, steward and...
And absolutely nothing but sunblock.
Oh, darling, how can I ever thank you?
Just be happy, Mom.
I mean, all this and a grandchild as well.
We're going to have to think of something fabulous
for the two of you to wear to the wedding.
Oh, oh, there's time.
The knot of Adam keeps his promise.
Oh, which reminds me, darling, my shower.
How is that coming along?
Oh, well, it's going to be the most unforgettable shindig
this town has ever seen.
You haven't done a thing about it, have you, Opal?
Of course you don't need my friendship.
Unless, of course, your daughter relapses
or you or one of your friends happen to need the assistance
of someone with my connections and reputation.
Well, Joe Martin's always here for anything medical.
Dr. Martin is a fine physician,
but his reputation is local, whereas mine is international,
as is yours.
Why are you so cold, Miss Cain?
I've never done anything bad to you.
In fact, I even helped your daughter.
Well, you're a good doctor. No one's ever denied that.
I'm also a good friend,
especially for those who share my world view.
And I share your world view?
Well, you obviously like money and power.
Oh, no, you see, that's where you're wrong, doctor.
Those things are only a means to an end.
Which brings me to your work with, uh, what's it called?
Um, Teens Against Addiction, your pet charity?
Well, I'm sure that a foundation with goals that far-reaching
would love to have friends of influence.
And deep pockets?
Of course.
So your interest in me is philanthropic?
I'm new in town, Miss Cain.
And you happen to be one of Pine Valley's
most influential citizens.
It's obvious that I would gain greatly
by having a friendship with you.
But I think if you were honest with yourself...
