border. Now Kate, they are probably gone. In fact, I am sure they are.
Can't remember. Anybody asked us? It's new, okay? Good. Excuse me, sir. When is the next bus to
Mazatlan? Never heard of it. It's in Mexico. Mexico? Can't get there from here. Look, we got people
expecting us. We're in a hurry. In a hurry? Airport's just down the road. Good kid. His name is Lou.
Mexico. Mexico. Getting that much call from Mexico. Yep. That's bad. Let's take the bus to St. Louis.
Change. When is the next bus to St. Louis? Leaving now. Platform one. Better hurry.
No. Absolutely no experts. That's the whole point. We let the letters speak for themselves. With,
of course, commentary by Jake McKinnon. Who is no expert? At least not yet anyway.
Look, I have some more good ideas. I'll be here at the Harbor Club, okay?
I'll be there in a while. I gotta go. May I ask what exactly do you think is going on?
And what do you mean by ordering me to meet you here?
Well, I believe I've just stolen your prized possession.
Genius at work? Genius would like to take a break.
Officer Poole called. Oh yes, from New York. Yes. Long short story. They still have no idea who
pushed the cornice off the roof, but they will keep us informed. Hey, you okay?
Maybe I have one of those dreams where it's not very real, but it's very vivid and you just can't
shake it off. Yeah, kind of like it's got you under its spell. Yeah, well, I've been a zombie all day.
What would you dream about? Oh, same old, same old. You know, happy, heroin, tortured,
threatened, and otherwise abused.
Might be interesting if you could swap dreams with someone else. Find out what it is they're
dreaming. Sort of like running a video. So what do you think Hillary dreams about?
Bob Dole. Oh yes, wow, nightmare. So who was your bad guy?
Must have really scared you. Yes, he did. Who is he?
Carl.
Any tear-free shampoo is okay for your baby. Not my baby.
Just because a shampoo claims to be tearless, that doesn't mean it has Johnson's patented
No More Tears formula. It's as gentle to eyes as pure water. No wonder more hospitals use it.
There we go.
Johnson's baby shampoo. Because your baby is all that matters.
And our house dressing is a creamy honey Dijon. Oh, what the heck. After that aerobics class,
I can afford to be a little bad. And save it for dessert. This is craft-free honey Dijon.
Fat-free, cholesterol-free. Yummy. Hey, just wait till you taste it.
This is delicious. Well, it is made with real honey and that tangy Dijon mustard.
Craft-free honey Dijon non-fat dressing. If it tastes too good to be fat-free,
it's craft-free. I don't suppose you've got any craft-free chocolate cake.

Any questions? For over 70 years, Radio Shack has been finding simple answers to all kinds of
complicated questions. Radio Shack, you've got questions, we've got answers.
Arm and Hammer is about to uncover a new, better way to absorb odors.
Introducing our fridge freezer pack. With 19 spill-proof vents to absorb odors better.
We've changed our box. Shouldn't you change yours?
Wow, that's a lot of shrimp. At Red Lobster, enjoy 30 shrimp for just $10.99.
Golden fry, succulent scampi, lemon pepper, and grilled shrimp. 30 shrimp, just $10.99.
Only at Red Lobster. Yes, I am about to publish Alicia Gelland's newest novel.
You can't do that. Well, it's a done deal. She gave me the manuscript this afternoon.
Yes, it will be that as it may. The fact remains, she's still under contract to us,
and would you please get your boots off my table? Have you read the contract, Carl?
I have. You see, Quarry Publishing has the right to first refusal.
First refusal? That's right, and I haven't even seen it yet.
Marshall Kramer did, and he passed on it this morning. Looks like your loss is my gain.
If you publish that manuscript, I'll sue you before I die!
On what grounds, Iris?
Felicia lived up to her end of the bargain. Marshall passed on it.
He had no authority. Carl, break it to her gently, please.
Well, even if he had, Felicia will not be happy with you. You don't know the first thing about
publishing a book. I knew enough to get the book. You didn't even know it was gone.
I think that you should teach Marshall to use his email. I don't have time to bring y'all up to speed.
Right on.
I want to see Kramer in my office right away, please. Thank you.
This is an absolute disaster. Yes, sir. We'll see.
Have you seen the numbers on Porter John's new book?
A book selling out in Finland, of all places.
Carl, that doesn't matter. Felicia Galant is our biggest seller.
Without her, our book division is less than average.
Please do not harangue me, Iris. I do not need a lecture. I'm very aware of how important she is.
Yes, I'm sure. It's just that I don't understand why Felicia would leave us after all this time.
I mean, she went through that drinking bout and we welcomed her back with open arms and to go with
Jake of all people. It may not have been her choice. Oh, Rachel will know. Felicia and Rachel have
always been... No, no, no, no. No, I must talk to Marshall first before I disturb Rachel.
Why? Is something wrong?
No, no, it's just she has a lot on her mind right now and I don't wish to add to it.
You mean that business about the stonework falling on her head?
Let's not over dramatize, Iris.
Oh, it wasn't. I just... just that she would have died if you hadn't pushed her out of the way.
I don't blame her for being upset.
She was fine last night.
So what happened this morning?
We'll talk later until she's just overtired.
The entire nightmare. Carl Hutchins worst hits.
Starting with when he kidnapped Amanda. Oh, Rachel wasn't really kidnapping.
You could have fooled me. That's what it looked like. And then carrying on to when he had that
creep following me. I mean every hideous vignette one right after another. Okay.
Every bad memory I've ever had of him. I believe you.
But why? Why am I having these dreams right now?
Because you're marrying Amanda used to be a teleperson.
It's true. I know it's true but it's just so obvious.
Yes, Rachel, it is obvious. It is obvious. But if you weren't having dreams about him,
I'd worry about you. I guess you're right but I don't like feeling this way. I mean I'm all
at odds and ends. I haven't done one productive thing all day. No, no, please don't look at that.
It's not finished. Oh Rachel, it's great.
Look, all right, you're an artist, right? Mm-hmm.
Artists are supposed to be super sensitive, right?
Yeah. Right.
Take it easy on yourself, okay? You had a creature feature hangover. It'll pass.
Yeah, I know. Yeah.
I mean I can trust him. He has changed. I know that and it's natural to have doubts.
Do you believe that he loves you? Yes, and I love him.
But maybe that's not enough. I mean I've browbeaten you and Amanda.
Oh, you didn't browbeat me at all. Yes, I did. And I shoved him right down
the board's throat and now he's running everything and I can't rewrite history.
And I can't seem to control my subconscious. Boy, that would be ironic. What? If after all this time
I'm the one who can't live with what he's done.
Now I know there's a bus station in Salem. Yes, Salem.
And that's where they'd head? Yeah, unless they were going the other way, but they wouldn't.
All right, now what? I take the River Road to the highway from here.
Yeah, but that's going to take 20 minutes. Hops.
Thank you.
Can you tell... Tomas... can you just tell him... never mind.
I'll tell him. Thank you.
Thank you.
We missed it. The bus to St. Louis. Oh, that's a real shame.
When's the next one? Tomorrow morning.
Look, there's got to be another way we can get there.
Not that you'd ever catch me south of the border, but...
Yeah, I'd take a bus to Chicago. You can transfer just about anywhere.
When's the next bus to Chicago?
An hour. Platform two.
Thanks.
Okay, Luis. We're going to have to wait until the next bus, okay?
It's okay. Now we can play hide and go seek.
Now, any time we see a police officer, we're going to hide, okay?
Okay, and then we're going to go in the bus, and then we're going to go far.
These are all good cleaners, but did you know that not one of them disinfects?
So you don't get your home totally clean until you use Lysol deodorant.
Lysol cleans and kills germs without any extra effort.
Germs can be anywhere, so don't do part of the job.
Lemon Fresh Lysol deodorizing cleaner cleans and disinfects.
Comfy, huh? Yes, ma'am.
Because you weren't last night. When?
When you were constipated. What?
Aren't you glad they came out with these Phillips gel caps?
Unlike Exlax, Phillips combines its laxative plus stool softener in an easy-to-swallow gel cap.
We didn't have gel caps when I was your age. What did you talk about?
My best friend and I went out last night with our brand new perms.
She had gone to the salon and spent way too much, and I had gotten an Ogilvy home perm.
People kept saying to me, oh, your hair is gorgeous, but nobody really said anything to her.
The precisely right home perm, it's got automatic shut-off timing.
I couldn't have overdone it. I couldn't have underdone it. It's perfect.
I'm glad I didn't go with her to the salon.
My kids miss their mama, so I was using MCI's friends and family to keep in touch
until my daughter Maddie told me about True USA Savings from AT&T.
No picking circles, just a guarantee 20% off.
Of course I switched. I may be partial, but my Maddie, she's a genius.
Switch back to AT&T True USA Savings, and when you spend $25 a month on AT&T,
we'll subtract 20% off your bill for U.S. calls.
You're true, boys.
Watch closely. Presto?
Change-o! It's the new Kraft 100% Grated Parmesan Package.
See, unlike some other Grated toppings, Kraft now has a new snap-tight lid.
Same great taste.
Snappy to package.
Baby, on your delicate skin, I use Water Baby Sunblock. It protects without irritating.
It tickles.
Up you go.
Water Babies. Put it between your baby and the sun.
Tonight, in All New Unsolved Mysteries 2-Hour Special, was this girl saved by an angel?
Something strange happened.
Capturing Bigfoot.
I've seen one. I know it exists.
Why is the government looking for him? And her sister can save her life.
The end is coming.
Do you know where she is? All New Unsolved Mysteries 2-Hour Special, NBC Tonight.
Are you saying you want to call off the wedding?
No. No, I'm not saying that at all. I just want to stop feeling this way. I can't get anything done. It's unnerving.
Rachel, did you think that maybe you're feeling this way because you almost got killed?
I mean, maybe your subconscious is kicking up all these violent memories because of that.
Yeah, I know. That's what I told Carl.
You told him about the dream?
No. I woke up so disoriented, I had to say something.
You must have caught on, huh?
I feel terrible for not telling him. But it wasn't anything I...
And he would have blown it all out of proportion.
What about you? You've been driving yourself crazy all day.
I know, but what if...
Say it. Say it.
What if it's a warning?
Rachel, this is all stuff that happened in the past.
Think of the timing.
So soon after the accident?
No, right before the wedding.
Oh, Rachel, it's just pre-reading jitters.
Maybe. But maybe I'm warning myself.
Maybe I know something that I don't even know I know.
Karen Lights from Summerville, New Jersey.
Books.
Friendship, ongoing trust and respect, romance, everlasting love, very sexy, endless affection, reliability, security.
What a woman wants from a man can be summed up in one simple phrase, a lifetime of forevers.
And look what she's done. The letter of every line spells out forevers.
Jake really has gotten some creative responses from these women.
They really do love this question, don't they?
Nobody ever asked it before. Look at this. He's really struck a nerve.
Oh, that always was his forte.
Yeah, well, now he's learned how to capitalize on that.
I mean it, Felicia. I can feel it. This book is a winner.
Yeah. Well, I've always loathed Jake ever since he sandbagged Paulina.
What are you, saying I shouldn't work with him?
No. No, of course not.
Well, then why don't you work with him?
I have no choice. Cory doesn't want to publish my book, remember?
Did they say why?
Yes, because Mr. Kramer doesn't have a romantic bone in his body.
Well, he is the head of the book division.
Yeah, and sit us at the right hand of Amanda, Cory.
Speaking of which...
Lorna, I need a favor. Felicia, I've just agreed to give the commencement address at Northwestern's graduation mall.
I thought Rostenkowski was going to...
Yeah, I had to cancel, so I'm stepping in. I want to make sure the president's informed.
Yeah, of course. I'll get right on it.
Mother, could you tell Jake when he gets here that I had to run?
Well, Felicia, would you like to join us since we just arrived here?
No, thank you.
Um, honey, you're going to have to get the message to him some other way, all right?
Grant?
Felicia.
Is Felicia all right?
Uh, she... she will be.
Uh, Jake is probably on his way here right now.
Well, I'll give Jake the message.
Well, you're great. Tell him I'll meet him in his place later, all right? Thanks.
I wonder what that was about. I mean, Felicia's not usually so rude.
So go after her.
Oh.
Hey, hey, hey, hey. What's wrong?
It's...
Hey, well, have you heard anything about Vicki and the baby?
The investigator I hired to...
follow Ryan lost him.
I'm sorry.
I may never see my son again.
Why, Ryan? If Ryan knows where they are, he'll convince her to come back.
I'm not sure of anything anymore, ma'am.
Ryan is a very moral person, you know that.
He couldn't even be able to live with himself, Grant.
In any event, there's nothing you can do about it tonight,
so I suggest we talk about a happier subject like,
when would you like to get married?
Amanda.
I'm sorry, I know you don't want to hear this.
I'm not ready to set a date yet.
Pringles life has become Pringles right crisps.
Still a third less fat, and now better taste than this.
That's right!
Got new Pringles right crisps!
That's right!
Less fat and better taste than this!
That's right!
Can you see?
That's right!
Pringles right crisps!
That's right!
Pringles right crisps!
That's right!
I thought I'd reach the happiness threshold with my bath bar.
Then I got the wake-up call.
Oylavolay bath bar with Lidolay moisture like young skin.
Pretty impressive.
And something that makes it so different from soap,
it actually helps hold moisture in,
so my skin feels softer, smoother, younger than I ever imagined.
Well, I thought I was happy, but who knew I could feel like this?
Hold on to young skin with Oylavolay bath bar, and the price?
Very nice.
When you're using lots of tissues, are they soft enough?
No, never.
Really soft? That's why you get a run up.
It's really sore right around the edge.
That's why there's Ultrasolve puffs.
Wow, really soft.
Very velvety.
Puffs are puffs for softness that really adds up.
Softness that four out of five people prefer.
Nobody uses one tissue.
I could go like this, and I didn't have any runs.
Puffs does not offend your nose.
I'm gonna change to puffs.
Ultrasolve puffs, softest on your nose, through all the blows.
Good morning, my nose said thank you.
Jenny Guilham, Vice President LLB, talks about a better way to clean your clothes.
Clothes look old from washing, not just wearing.
Look at this shirt. It just looks older than it should.
We did extensive testing, and what we found is that new Tide really kept the clothes looking new or longer.
This new garment looks old after 30 washings, but new Tide cleans better than ever because there's less fuzzing and fading, so clothes keep that new look longer.
New Tide really works.
If it's gotta be clean, it's gotta be Tide.
And we're really excited to tell our customers about this discovery.
Joanna Daniels.
It's your best friend.
Jo, you're going gray, so get this.
Lasting color.
There's no ammonia, just wash it in.
You'll look gorgeous.
Like I do.
Hey, what am I, chopped liver?
Lasting color by loving care.
Gentle color that lasts up to six weeks.
Tylenol?
For fever and things, it's great, sure.
But headaches?
Excedrin relieves them better than Tylenol.
You use what works better, right?
For headaches, Excedrin.
Excedrin, the headache medicine.
I respect your judgment, Marshall. That's not the issue.
I beg to differ.
You have no right to turn down a money-making guarantee.
Look, what is important?
All that's important is that you apprise us of your decisions.
I was drafting you a memo when you called.
I had only just spoken to Felicia at lunch.
He was so busy drafting that memo
that Felicia signed with somebody else.
Jake McKinnon is going to publish that.
Yes, and he's going to have his work cut out for him.
You didn't like it?
It doesn't work.
I've done my homework,
and I've read just about everything the lady's written.
But this one...
Why? Tell me why. What happened?
I'll tell you what happened.
She was pressured and belittled.
First by Jake and then by him.
You didn't give her enough time, obviously.
She was given several extensions.
What if there was a job done of careful editing?
Any editor worth her salt would send her back to page one.
But don't take my word for it.
Have a look.
What if we brought somebody in?
Iris, what's the name of that editor who used to work with these...
I talked to her yesterday, sent her a draft,
and she got back to me this morning
and declined my rather generous offer to work on it.
So at that point, I had no choice but to turn it down.
It's not that I don't believe in you, Marshal,
it's just that I'm amazed that someone like Felicia Gallant,
who has been so dependable in this business...
That's no doubt why Jake left her the chance to publish it.
He can't have read it.
This is a mistake he's going to regret.
Is it really that bad?
Yes.
So far, Marshal's right.
It's simply terrible.
You don't want to set a date,
or are you saying you don't want to get married?
No. No, it's just that with the baby, we think...
I try to put it out of my mind, but I can't.
I don't want to spoil what should be a joyous occasion.
Hello, Amanda. Today's your lucky day.
I thought I'd let you be the first to congratulate me.
Oh, for what? I'm so frightened to ask.
Well, you didn't hear. I'm publishing Felicia's new novel.
What? That's impossible.
Is it? Read it and weep.
You lost your chance. Now it's all mine.
Jake, she has a contract with us.
Now, Amanda, I thought I told you to always read the fine friends.
Jake, you were there when we renewed her contract.
She's bound to us for the next two years.
You should check with a mighty Marshal. He just might agree with you.
If you finish gloating, Lorna said that she would meet you at your house.
Now, if you would excuse us.
Roger.
Boy, I can't wait to get home and crack this baby open.
What? You mean you haven't even read it?
More to the point. He bought it without reading it.
Well, why should I read it?
It's Felicia Glantz Guaranteed Best Seller. Why don't you ask Amanda?
Well, if it's anything like the last book, it's great.
It's going to shoot McKinnon Publishing Straight to the top.
Well, gotta go.
I've got a date with my first author.
Ciao.
No wonder why Felicia was so abrupt with me. I can't believe this is happening.
It's terrible. I mean, she's responsible for an enormous part of our revenue in our book division.
Calm down. Don't panic. You don't know the facts yet.
Okay, you're right. But if he's got the rights, I mean, that's bad news for Cory.
You want to call your office?
No. Later. As I recall, we're in the middle of our own little crisis.
No, no, no. It's not a crisis. I don't want it to be.
I want to get married. I just don't want our wedding to turn into a media circus with you having to answer questions about Victoria's histrionics.
Okay, I'm with you there.
Besides, this thing can't go on indefinitely. Victoria's far too colorful and noisy to elude much of us for very long.
Okay. Well, I couldn't agree with you more.
As soon as my son is back with us and the situation's settled down, we'll start to plan our wedding.
Okay. Sounds fine with me. Besides, I wouldn't want to be upstaged by your ex-wife anyway.
She couldn't possibly upstage you.
And I don't think either of us would enjoy ourselves while we were worrying about the baby.
Thank you for understanding.
Oh, besides, I have a feeling that I'm worth waiting for.
You're going to make me wait?
This is bad. This is really bad.
Hi, is this the Salem bus station?
It is great. Could you page somebody, please?
You can't just say my name? Say that someone's calling?
Thanks anyway.
Well, Rachel, if I were you, I would try some chamomile tea before bed.
Ah, interestingly.
Yeah.
Well, you're home early.
Yeah, I didn't have any exams today.
Good.
Well, I'll tell you what. Do you have any plans this evening?
No.
Good, do you?
I could always wash my hair.
Well, that clenches it. We're going to have a party, just us.
You can't have a party with just three people.
No, no, I mean the entire family. This would give me a great opportunity to visit really well with all of you.
All of us in one room?
Mm-hmm.
You're going to put knives on the table?
Well, I'd rather the cutlery fly here than at my wedding reception.
Well, I'll talk to Amanda, but Iris is another story.
I'll take care of Iris.
You've got a deal.
Okay.
Is Amanda home?
I haven't seen her.
I'll check the office.
Okay.
See you guys.
So what is it, Squirt? What's wrong?
Nothing.
Oh, come on, I think there's something wrong.
It's hopeless.
What is, honey?
Tomas, I'm never going to see him again.
Oh, honey.
Okay, Lisa, when we play hide and seek, you've got to be very, very quiet, okay?
We don't want that man over there to see us.
How you doing?
Been here all day?
I've been here all my life.
Looking for a teenage boy and little girl.
Magazine Benner said he saw a couple fitting this fish.
Little girl?
Uh-huh.
You can say as I have.
Sure.
You'll give us a call if you do.
I live to serve, Oscar.
I live to serve.
You hungry?
Want some crackers?
Yeah.
Well, if they were here, they're not here now, yeah?
I'm going to check outside again.
I'm heading over to the airport.
We've got to go wait in some place else.
Just wait until we get to the cops, okay?
Lisa, get back here!
Fuck!
You just couldn't believe what that telling me, where you were going?
What you were doing?
How do you know where we were?
It doesn't matter.
It does matter.
The cops are looking for me.
If they know where I am...
Nobody knows.
There was a cop here two minutes ago, Kate.
Nobody saw me.
The only person who knows where I am is Maggie.
Don't be mad at her, Tomas.
Please don't.
She knows how much the two of them mean to me.
She promised me she wasn't going to tell anybody.
I'm not anybody.
I love you.
You are my family.
Oh, good.
Just let you go off in the wild, will you?
You see, that is exactly why, Kate, I didn't tell you.
Because I knew you were going to come after us.
I can't believe Maggie told you.
Darling, Maggie loves you.
Do you know how hard it was for her to let you go?
Did I make it?
I know.
I'm not here to make you stay.
I promised Maggie I was coming to just say goodbye.
Can you explain to Louisa why her life is turned upside down?
We gotta go, Kate.
This place isn't safe.
Fine.
I'm going with you.
That's why I came here.
I'm leaving Bay City and I'm going with you.

So I use Coffee Mate to make my coffee rich and creamy.
You wouldn't expect me to compromise, would you?
Coffee Mate, your coffee never had it so good.
Did you know almost everyone is allergic to bug bite?
That's why they itch.
So you should know Benadryl Cream.
It actually blocks the histamine that makes you itch.
Hydrocortisones can't.

Our new store is now open.
We'd like to invite each and every one of you to come by and see our new facility.
Great care and thought was put into the design and layout.
We've made it accessible and convenient to shop.

Tonight on K-Indio News 23, first at 5 and 11.
Star Trek, weeknights at 6.
I'm with you, you take me away, to another world.
You got a life here, Kate. A job, people to care about.
The only people I care about are you and besides I promised you-
I can take care of Louisa.
House? You gotta get a job. Who's gonna stay with her? Who's gonna cook for her?
We'll work things out.
Look, Kate, I wish things were different but they're not.
In this way you can get a chance to go on with your life.
There is nothing here for me.
What about Dr. Hudson? He's not gonna want you to leave.
Dr. Hudson's been very kind to me.
Kate, he likes you. Give him a chance.
He doesn't like me. The only reason he even talks to me is because I look like his wife.
No, that is over. I can't do that anymore. I'm Kate Baker, I'm not-
I cannot see him anymore.
What?
Nothing. I was just thinking about something. We gotta go.
Please, Tomas. Let me go with you.
No, you can't.
As soon as we get settled, I will call you, I promise.
He fits the description. He's got a little kid with him.
He's got it just like a boy but I'm sure it's the girl. They are inside the station.
I don't get it. How can someone just forget how to write?
Go home.
Hey, I'm sorry I couldn't meet you. Did you get my message?
Yeah, Grandpa.
Listen to this letter we got from Philly Jake. A Lindley Lipkis point of view had me reading every red light over here.
Listen, remember, don't ever judge her, be jealous of her, treat her like a doll, belittle her, ignore her, shut her out, condemn her, assume what she wants, lie to her, tell her what to do, demand, raise your voice, preach, force, and ever stop trying.
I think we should put some of these on the cover. What do you think? I mean, we do need quotes on the cover.
The cover?
Jake. Earth to Jake.
I'm sorry, Lorna, it's been a rough day.
Hey, do you want to do this tomorrow?
As a matter of fact, would you do me a favor?
Should we even?
You read it.
Oh, just somebody I'm thinking about adding to the list. I wanted to get a second opinion before I consider publishing them.
So you liked it?
Well, the author came highly recommended, it's just, uh, it's not what I usually read.
No fast cars?
No cars at all.
Oh, I like it already.

So the only way that he could keep Louisa is if he went on the run.
And he did.
That's terrible. Why don't they just give him the help he needs to raise her? He's a very responsible young man.
Yeah, well, don't even get me started, Rachel. My whole ambition right now is to grow up and run social services and fire Ms. Shaw.
Sounds like a good plan to me. Well, if there's anything you need, if you need my help, you just let me know, okay?
Thank you.
Hello, hello, everybody.
I think I need to study.
Hello, Maggie.
Hi, Iris.
Oh, wait a minute, wait a minute. We'll see you later, right?
Yeah.
Okay. I've got about a check on you.
Oh, well, I don't need any checking on.
Okay, okay. So I'm paranoid.
It's just that you were almost killed in New York and Carl said you weren't yourself this morning.
Well, I didn't sleep very well, that's all.
This is just so typical of you, bottling up your feelings and playing the stoic.
Actually, there is some way you can help me if you really want to.
Anything? Well, almost anything.
Come to dinner tonight. I'm having the entire family.
Mama, you are feeling stoic. Can you make it?
Oh, I wouldn't miss it to the world.
Good.
What?
No, nothing. Thank you.
Oh, for heaven's sake.
No, no, no. I don't mean just for coming for dinner, but for doing what you can to get along with Carl.
Well, I do have to work with the man.
No, it's more than that. I thought it would take a lot longer for you to come around.
I thought you'd dig in and boycott the wedding and complain.
Because I'm such a miserable human being.
No, you're a very generous one and I just want you to know I appreciate it.
And so do I. You've been an enormous help, Iris.
I don't mean just down at the office, but you've certainly made my job easier there as well.
Oh, please. All this approval will ruin my reputation.
Oh, your secret's quite safe with us, Iris.
I certainly hope so. If you go around telling everybody how noble I've been, I'll have to think something completely wicked, won't I?
Well, I really do have to run.
Well, we'll see you later, though.
Yes. Dinner at eight.
Good, of course.
Dinner at eight? Is he actually coming to dinner?
Actually, the whole family is.
Um, I hope you don't mind.
Whereas as long as there's someone there to taste my food first.
I'm sorry, I should have checked with you.
No, no, no, it's a good idea.
I mean, we haven't entertained the whole family since...
Is this the first time?
Yes, the very first time.
Well, batten down the hatches.
Do you really think it's going to be that difficult?
It's worth to say it'll be memorable.
Now why don't you tell me what's bothering you?
Richard wants it to be a real family occasion, and she's hoping you both can make it.
Is Carl going to be there?
Like I said, it's going to be the whole family.
It's up to you.
Are you up for a game of pass the stress?
Well, it doesn't affect me the way it affects you.
Look, Amanda, I know how you feel, but this would mean a lot to Rachel, especially now with these threats against Carl.
She's not feeling so great.
I think she needs to have us around her.
The house is secure. I'm thinking primarily of Allie.
Yeah, of course. Otherwise I wouldn't let her stay there.
Look, Amanda, all she's asking is that you come and have dinner with all of us.
Bring Grant through. Please, come.
She needs to see you.
Here you go. A cup of coffee?
There's nothing that's going to help this.
You don't like it?
Oh, it's bogus.
You know, it's like, you know, and I like the show, and I really do.
The historical romance, you know, with the courtships and the clothing and all of it.
This, this is like a really bad Felicia Galan imitation. I mean, it's really bad.
I hate to tell you, but that's no imitation.
Yeah, well, when you get to know the genre better, you'll know exactly what I'm talking about.
No, Lorna, this is Felicia's latest novel.
You're saying my mother wrote this?
That's right.
No, no way, Jake. No, my mother is an excellent craftsman. There's no way she would write this. This wouldn't even...
We will celebrate it. The minute the book reviews come in.
No, I know it's a big move, but it was time. I am very excited.
Oh, Bo, listen, I've got to run, all right? I love that you called me today. Yeah, well, it was just when I needed.
Right. Okay, soon. Okay, bye-bye. I'm coming.
Hello, Felicia.
Did we have an appointment?
No, we didn't.
Oh.
May I come in?
Depends. What do you want?
I'd like to talk to you.
I'm not interested.
You're angry. I get it. Can we talk now?
I mishandled our discussion of your book this afternoon. I'm... I regret it.
No, you don't. You're just worried about losing your job. Who was it? Iris? No. I'll bet it was Carl, am I right?
They were understandably upset. We were all upset. You're a great writer, Felicia.
You will forgive me if I'm underwhelmed.
I talked to my daughter. She told me what happened with Lorna. It doesn't change my opinion of your book, but it explains a few things.
What are you talking about?
I read all your novels, Felicia, and they rely heavily on romance, seduction, and the man overpowering the ostensibly reluctant maiden.
Spare me your critique, all right? Do you want my book?
No, I don't. But I do have a proposition for you.
Who taught you how to shave your legs? Your mother? You start with a bar of soap, work up a good lather.

Skin-to-mit shave gel. There's no softer way to shave.
I've been fighting my weight since I was about 12 years old. I was out of control, and I always felt bad.
With the Jenny Craig program, it taught me how to be in control of my food. We really learned about nutrition from the very beginning.
I've learned to be more active. I am teaching my kids good eating habits. They're not going to go through the same things that I did.
Now I know how to eat, and it's not so scary anymore.

How can someone just forget how to write? She didn't forget how to write material.
She picked it. No, she didn't.
What do you think? Somebody put a gun to her head? Somebody said write a romance novel or else?
She was trying to write the kind of book that they wanted. The kind of book that you wanted.
Oh, don't give me that, all right? Your mother's the queen of the Bodice Rippers.
It's not Kafka, but she has made a bundle writing romance novels.
She's good at it, or at least she used to be. I mean, this is the love scenes.
There's no build. There's no detail. She's just not into it.
Yeah, well, that would be my fault.
Your fault? How your fault?
Ever since I was raped, Jake, she just... she can't... she can't write the way she used to.
I mean, I thought... I really thought she'd gotten past it.
I don't get it.
Yeah, well, the point is, what can we do about...
She's gonna have to fix this.
Fix it? She could fix this. It wouldn't be in the shape that it's in right now.
Well, no, I cannot publish this.
Well, then you were just gonna have to tell her.
So what am I supposed to do? Just turn this down?
What else can you do?
Not do that. I have already sent out press releases.
My reputation is riding on this. My future is riding on this.
If I don't publish this, I am ruined.
It would be irresponsible for Corey to publish your book.
Well, then it's lucky for me that I found another publisher.
Well, you can make any sort of arrangements you want, Felicia,
but the best thing you should do right now is put side your animosity toward me
and show the book to someone you really trust.
I have.
Jake McKinnon. He accepted the book before he read it, didn't he?
He's banking on your reputation, Felicia,
which he will damage in a desperate attempt to get his own company off the ground.
You're too experienced to be swept away by promises of publication.
Oh, I see. Yes, you don't want to publish it,
but you don't want anyone else to publish it either.
Nothing would give me more pleasure than to bring forth a book by Felicia Gallante
and give it to the public. But it's gotta be the right book.
And you are the expert.
While I'm head of the book division, that's about as close as you're gonna get.
You know, I'm sure that if this was under any other circumstances,
I would find you utterly charming.
But the fact is, you have overstayed your welcome.
Yes, well, you haven't heard my proposition yet.
Well, then you better make it quick.
I've got a hunch about you, Felicia.
I think you have outgrown your material,
and I think your daughter's misfortune had a lot to do with that.
I don't think you can write the kind of love scenes required by the romantic genre
when you have firsthand knowledge of what that sort of brutality does to people.
I have never written brutal.
I do not advocate rape or violence to women,
and I really resent you implying that I have.
Come on, Felicia, come on.
You mean they're just in lace, in tights?
Violence is violence.
They are not violent.
Tell me Armand does not rip open Jocelyn's blouse.
I do not write violence in my women.
I write them strong and passionate and intelligent.
I really resent you giving me some two-bit analysis of me or my daughter
or any of my characters.
I have nothing against passion or for strong physical action.
But what I do know is that your days as a romantic novelist are over.
But it's no tragedy.
Not for you, obviously, but to 50 million readers worldwide?
If that were true, which it is not, it would be a tragedy.
Felicia, Felicia, Felicia, you are a crafted, intelligent writer.
But now it's time to turn your skills on a more important book,
a book that expresses the woman that you have become
and not the adolescent fantasies of your fans.
And I'll help you.
You're going to help me write a book?
I don't care how long it takes or how many drafts you need.
I love writing romance novels.
That's exactly what I want to do.
And if you don't like it, Buster, it's your loss.
Now get the hell out of here.
Now I know something's bothering you, so why don't you simply share it?
It was nothing.
I just had a nightmare last night and then I couldn't get back to sleep,
so I'm over-tired.
And that awakened you to do?
There must have been some dream.
I've had worse.
Do you remember it?
Yes, no.
I mean, you know, it was just a nightmare.
It had to do with the corners falling on us.
Yes.
Oh, I do apologize for that.
It wasn't your fault.
Now I really must talk to Helen about dinner.
What is your pleasure, squab or leg of lamb?
You are my pleasure and you are my leg of lamb.
What troubles thee troubles me.
I'm fine, Lillith.
I am.
Hmm.
Having nightmares while lying in bed next to me,
I don't know how I feel about that.
I mean, it's not really good form, is it?
No, I don't suppose.
Well, it's all right.
I'll talk to my subconscious about it.
And now if I don't talk to Helen about this dinner,
she's going to serve my head on a platter.
Anything I can help?
No.
Just be prepared for a memorable evening.
Hello, Ethan.
I shan't be back for dinner this evening.
And the wedding is on for New York.
Where will you go?
I have friends in Maryland.
I'm going to New York.
Where will you go?
I have friends in Mexico that help us out.
What friends?
I don't remember your mother ever mentioning any people in Mexico.
You met them, the Perdomos.
They moved as soon as Willie started school.
Yes, yes.
They're good people.
So I'll just stay with them until I get enough money to go back home.
To Ecuador?
My mother's people are still there.
We gotta go.
Here.
You take this.
I can't take it.
You take this for Louisa.
Louisa, sweetie, let me look at you.
Look at you.
You look like a little tomboy.
Cops are looking for a little girl, so...
Oh, well, you've got a very smart, very...
I see.
Smart, come on.
I see this.
Are you?
Let me tell you something real quick before you put your head down.
You be a good girl, okay?
And every night, when you look up at the moon,
I want you to think about how much I love you.
And I'll be looking up at the same moon,
thinking about how much I love you.
I love you.
Look at them.
What are you doing?
Well, let it go!
She's mine!
What are you thinking?
She's gonna be mine.
Child welfare for the time being until further arrest.
You can't have her.
