03x02 - I'll Be Watching You

Post by bunniefuu »

Why don't you guys stay here in L.A.?

Then, that way, me and Scotty can see each other whenever we want.

I could get into some socal living.

Previously on Mistresses...

Patient's my wife. We are having trouble finding a blood match for her.

She's dying.

Why would you do this for me?

I want to believe in something.

Was she everything you thought she'd be?

This really can't be how our story begins.

I love you. And I know that I will be with you, but not right now.

The number you've reached has been disconnected or is no longer in service.

[Cellphone rings] [Sighs]

[Cellphone beeps]

Hello?

Joss, where have you been?

Oh, you know, driving around for 95 hours because parking sucks in this city.

No, I mean I never see you.

The only reason I know you're living with me is there's a pop-tart under the couch.

Yeah, well, I've been, you know, spending a lot of time at that coffee shop around the corner.

Doing what?

Something you won't approve of.

Caffeine after 2:00?

Drafting an apology e-mail to Savi.

Joss.

If you'd have helped me with the last one...

The last one was insane... It was 27 pages.

Really, Karen? Is that a fact?

Because e-mails don't paginate.

Honey, listen to me, you've got to let this go.

She's not writing you back.

She's not writing me back, and I didn't screw her ex-husband.

I didn't screw him.

Sorry... grind him in your wedding dress while she held your bouquet.

See? I knew you were mad.

No, I'm not mad.

I'm trying to help you.

Your time would be better spent repairing your jobless/homeless situation.

You're jobless, too.

I did a shift at the hospital yesterday, and my unicorn blood goes into Vivian tomorrow.

So, you're employed and a saint.

Th-th-that's, uh, wonderful. I feel so much better.

Thank you for calling.

Honey, come on.

I didn't mean...

No, it's fine. You're right.

I... I know. I... I just...

I-I shouldn't fixate on Savi.

Oh, I see a spot. I got to go.

Jo...

[Tires squeal]

Oh, my God. Are you kidding me?

No frickin' way.

Uh, excuse me. Hello?

Excuse me.

Yes?

"Y-yes"?

Mm.

Are you seriously playing dumb right now? You know what you did.

Oh, just... here. Here.

Here, here, here. Take this.

What the hell is this?

It's American paper money.

You probably used one or two of these to buy your sweet little car back there.

Okay, I'll have you know that that's a rental.

Wonderful.

Wow.

You know what? You're not fooling anyone with your spray tan and your range rover, by the way.

You may look happy, but you're not... You're dead inside.

Dead inside!

Mistresses 3x02
"I'll Be Watching You"

April: Lucy, hurry up! We're gonna be late for church.

I'm not sitting next to you in God's house.

[Door slams, doorbell rings]

Yes?

Hey, I'm sorry to pop in, but I got kind of a quarter situation.

As in I don't have enough to both wash our clothes and park the RV on the street.

The meters take credit cards, you know.

Yeah, I don't really subscribe to that whole thing...

Being a prisoner to plastic.

Life's got its own hidden fees, you know.

Laundry room's through the kitchen.

Great. [Whistles]

Whoa!

Lord, what did you do to his hair?

I washed it.

With what?

Shampoo. I don't know. That soft soap we had.

You brushed it, didn't you?

What do you want to hear?

Scotty, go upstairs and ask Lucy for a scrunchie, okay?

We'll get this under control.

Okay.

[Sighs]

Uh, so I'm gathering black hair care is like a thing?

It's a science.

Is this a... A ghost costume, Marc?

No, those are our sheets.

I've had those since college. They were lucky.

You have Scotty sleeping on these raggedy-ass sheets?

Eh, he likes them.

He likes syphilis?

Okay, yeah, no.

Uh, look, I appreciate your concern and all, but Egyptian cottons aren't exactly in the budget right now.

Fine. I have some sheets at the shop.

You can have them for free.

Come and pick them up tomorrow.

Did you tell Scotty he could take my scrunchie?

Thanks for asking me, Mom.

[Door slams]

What do you say we go now?

Um...

Now. Let's go now.

[Organ music playing]

Woman: Excuse me. Excuse me?

Oh, there you are. Hi.

Yes, I was wondering if this seat is taken.

Oh, I'm sorry, I'm actually saving it for a friend.

[Cellphone dialing]

Hi. It's April, leave me a message at the sound of the beep.

April, where are you? The service is about to start.

I'm center-left. Well, you can't miss me.

I'm wearing an enormous hat.

I'm now seriously rethinking...

Shh! No cellphones in church.

[Bell rings]

Hi.

Well, hi, there.

How can I help you?

Yeah, I need to find my sister.

I need to know if you've booked a trip for my sister recently.

Her name is Savannah Davis.

And who are you?

Her sister.

Well, Savi's come here for years, but I've never seen you before.

Well, that's because since the advent of the Internet, most people use services like Expedia.

But hold on... That, while convenient, may deprive them of the beautiful human interaction that you and I are having right now, Phyllis.

Please, just help me.

My boss won't like it... Privacy rights.

Thank you.

I'm not the only one that works here, so I have to check the system.

Check the system.

Aha!

Aha?

Savi did book a trip with us.

Where, Phyllis? Where?

Australia, two years ago.

A getaway for her and Harry.

So, with the reviews the way they are, I plan on being way overbooked.

Whoa, there he is, chef Harry Davis...

The man, the myth, the legend.

[Imitates crowd cheering]

Pleasure to meet you, sir.

Ellis Boone.

Sorry, mate. Do I...

I'm Greta's silent partner.

Yeah, but now that the little lady is opening a club in Paris, it would appear my silent days are over.

I'll be taking care of all the pesky little front-of-house details.

Great. Uh, so this is a...

Is this a staff meeting?

Should I have known about this?

Uh, well, I don't know.

Uh, do you see any kitchen guys here?

Uh, no. You don't.

So, I don't know. I guess you're good to go.

You can, uh, start your prep. Mince your herbs.

Okay.

I'll, uh, ship off to work, then, shall I?

Okay, great.

Okay. Uhp.

Boom. That's good stuff.

Yeah.

I'll be here if you need me, all right?

Excellent.

All right.

So, guys, this is what I was thinking as far as sections...

April: Do you like solids or patterns?

Now, this one is soft.

Marc?

Marc!

Yo!

"Yo"? I'm picking out your sheets?

Thanks, April. You're awesome.

So, that's an online university?

No, I meant you should be picking out your sheets.

I dig the ones you're holding.

And you're sure I can't help you pay for them?

Not without money.

Why you got to do that in front of the lady?

You're kind of k*lling my game.

Kimmie, can you go and dust the shelves, please?

Sure.

[Chuckles lightly]

You know I'm doing you a favor, right?

She's not a good girl?

With the sheets! The favor's the sheets!

I normally sell these for 300 bucks.

Well, that's a racket.

Hey, are those cinnamon buns free?

[Sighs]

[Bell ringing]

What the...

Oh, no, no, no, no, no.

What is... 8:30 to 9:00...

What does this mean?

What does this mean? Was I towed?

Oh, you. I'm...

Hey!

Hey. Hi.

Oh, for the love of God.

Did you... did you see what happened, huh?

You just w... you just watched them tow my car?

First you take my space, and then you just...

You just watch them tow my car?!

What kind of a person are you?

I mean, w... What kind of a person am I?

Just... Right? I deserve this.

That's what's happening. I deserve this.

Get in the car.

What?

Get in the car. Look, I got...

I have a picture of the truck that towed your car.

So, if you get in the car...

Yeah, can I...

Hey, listen.

Your freak-out's ruining my stakeout, so just get in the car...

Stakeout?

[Laughing] What, are you a cop?

Do I look like a cop?

No.

Get in the car.

I'm not...

Get in the car.

Get in the car!

All right, I'm getting in!

Crazy woman.

[Sighs]

Tissues. Beignets on the dash.

What are these... are these beignets from bottega Louie?

Geez. Okay. This is a seriously catered stakeout.

Who are you watching?

My husband. My husband.

My lying, cheating, eurotrash-screwing...

Okay.

Pig bastard of a husband.

His mistress lives there.

I think.

Look...

Did you happen to see him when you were walking past the lobby?

Oh. You mean that guy?

[Gasps] That's him.

He's alone. He's alone. He's alone.

Where's your slut? Where's your slut, daddy?

Come on, little slut, where are you?

Oh, yeah, the slut's probably showering...

Post-sex rinse.

Where is she?

Sorry, yeah. Sorry.

Do you want me to take you to the tow yard or what?

'Kay.

[Indistinct talking in distance]

Oh, who hung this here?

Uh, I did, chef.

Thought it might inspire you.

Thanks, mate.

[Crying]

You okay?

I just wanted to say what an honor...

It was working with you, chef.

[Chuckles] Laurie, what...

What's going on?

Ellis just fired me.

Me, Ava, Rico, Marco, all of us... gone.

Okay, just... [Clears throat]

Do not go anywhere.

[Indistinct conversations]

What the...

I need to see you outside.

This is not the time.

Yeah, it's the time. Let's go.

Can you not see that I'm in a meeting here?

[Clears throat] S... hey. I'm Harry.

Niko.

Nice to meet you, Niko.

Listen, I hate to interrupt your interview, but would you mind stepping out so Ellis and I can talk about the menu real quick?

No problem.

Thank you.

I don't know who the hell you think you are...

You don't want to start with me like that.

But you can't just strut in here and fire all my staff because they're... let me guess, what, they're not hot enough?

[Laughs]

W... h-hey, it's not funny.

Those people helped launch this place.

The launch, my friend, is over.

It's an event that has come and gone.

I'm in charge of the nitty-gritty, and I want more pretty-pretty.

Who are you? Really, you talk like this in life?

In fact, the only chick worth keeping was that party planner who quit.

Just a sec, love.

Now, what was her name again?

It's, uh, Joss.

Ooh, now, that was a ripe piece of ass.

Hmm?

Greta, darling.

No, no, no, no. It's a fine time.

No, my meeting was just on his way out the door.

You're Karen Kim, yes?

Yes.

And this is in preparation for the stem-cell retrieval for Vivian Adams?

That's correct.

The drug in the injection you're about to receive will stimulate the release of stem cells into your bloodstream to make the retrieval process easier.

You'll have one of these sh*ts a day for the next five days.

Yes, I know. Thank you.

Have your address and insurance changed?

No.

Your emergency contact is down here as Savannah Davis... Is that correct?

Hey, thanks for sitting for Scotty this morning.

It really gave me a chance to help Marc out with some things.

Now, there is a guy who can use all the help he can get.

I think Uncle Marc's cool.

"Uncle Marc"?

Yeah, he's not technically your...

Fine.

I don't see why you have a problem with him.

No, I don't. I like him. He's cool Uncle Marc.

Anyway, since you did, in fact, babysit, I feel it's only right if I... if I pay you.

Pay me? He's my brother.

What's wrong with you?

Luc...

[Sighs]

So, how long you been married?

[Sighs] Almost 10 years.

Mm. [Scoffs] When did he start cheating?

Doesn't matter.

Oh, no. S-sorry.

[Cellphone beeps] Oh, make a right here.

You know, can I...

No, forget it.

Go.

Why do you stay?

Money.

Ah. Eh, not his money...

My money. My money.

Oh. Well, then...

If I don't have proof of his horny little habits, then I'm gonna have to pay him half of my net worth.

And that is not happening. It is not happening.

Not after the 20 years I've spent building my brand.

Your brand?

Yeah.

Stop the train. You are not...

[Gasps] Yes, you are!

Calista Raines?!

If you tweet this, I'll k*ll you.

Oh, my God! I knew I recognized you!

I... Calista frickin' Raines.

Do you know that you are, like, one of my favorite designers of all time?

I think I have four knock-offs of yours.

Uh, I'm sorry.

You're just... You're really expensive.

What is a fashion force like you doing driving around following your own husband?

You're fabulous.

W... you just hire a P.I. or something.

Yeah, well, Luca sniffs them out and pays them twice as much to back off, so...

Well, you could at least cut down on your stakeout time by doing that "find my iPhone" thing.

More.

Are you serious right now?

It's basically a tracking device.

You just install it on his cellphone and you have cheater GPS... It tells you where he is.

You're a little frickin' genius!

Well, I'm a little crazy.

You? Please.

I've had nine coffees and three meals in the car today.

Please, I know how this must look.

No, no, believe me, I get it.

Spending your life on the trail of somebody who doesn't want to be found... Mm, I get it.

Mm.

I fell in love with my sister's ex-husband, and, uh, two weeks ago, she saw us kissing on the beach, disowned me, and split.

So, I've been trying to track her down ever since.

Mm. I've always wanted a sister.

Must be hard to lose one.

Well, thank you for saying that and only that.

Okay. Looks like we're here.

Oh. [Chuckles]

Hey, listen, I hope that this isn't too f-forward or anything, but it's...

It's not every day that I get ubered around by a world-famous designer whose clothes I would literally k*ll for.

I just... I'm an event planner.

That's my card. I don't know if...

Well, I-I have a guy, but I'll... I'll keep it.

Cool.

Buh-bye.

Who's making this crap?!

I-is this 'cause the fish market was out of oysters?

No, Phil, it is not.

[Clears throat]

So, you really want to do this in front of your people?

What are we doing, Ellis?

Um, uh, you know what, guys? Let's just clear out.

Okay, h-h-hop to it. Let's go.

It's not your restaurant, Harry. It's mine.

And it's Greta's... The woman who hired me, yeah?

Yeah, not so much.

You see, ever since you stole Scott Trosman's fiancée, he no longer wanted anything to do with this place.

So, he sold me his shares.

I now own 65% of this restaurant.

Yeah, I know.

Thick with irony, isn't it?

Anyway, back to our roles.

I'm the owner. I'm out there.

Like Paco the dishwasher, you work back here.

You are not the face of this establishment.

People do not come here to see you.

They come with their smartphones at the ready hoping beyond pathetic hope to catch a glimpse of Greta Jager and that's it.

So, from now on, know your role.

Do not come barging into my office.

Do not come out onto my floor. Just cook or just quit.

It's up to you.

[Door closes] Joss, you home?

Joss: I'm in the John.

Oh, my God, you are not gonna believe who I met today.

What is it? What's that?

A postcard from Savi.

What does it say?

Alive, well, in Italy.

That's it?

Yeah, that's it.

Let me see it.

No.

Give it to me.

Joss.

Karen, let me see it.

"Alive, fine, in Italy.

Don't tell Joss."

You want to talk about it?

No. [Door closes]

[Knocking on door]

Okay, hold on. I'm coming.

Scotty bit a kid.

What?

I got a call from the school, I have an appointment with the principal later, and he sounded pissed.

I mean, apparently this is a really big deal.

He can get suspended.

What school?

Uh, Cross Bridge Elementary.

That is one of L.A.'s worst schools!

Well, it's in the trailer-park district.

Well, you couldn't have found a better park?

Well, there aren't as many RV communities in Beverly hills as one would think.

Well, did you even research the school at all?

I yelped it!

You...

Hey, I'm doing the best I can.

Are you really, Marc?

I mean, 'cause to me, it seems like you are doing the bare minimum.

You are hitting on sales girls.

Scotty's sleeping on holey sheets.

He's running around the neighborhood with lunatic hair.

He is probably getting picked on, which is probably why he bit.

This isn't happening.

But it is. It's happening and it's real.

And you are gonna have to start thinking about things in terms of what's best for Scotty.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, how do you think I have been thinking about things?

'Cause this situation is miles away from what's best for me.

Well, welcome to parenting.

Jump on in. Water's warm.

You know the only reason we're here at all is because you reached out to my sister and you asked her for help.

And really, that's all I was asking from you.

Okay, Marc...

No, no, no. You know, I-I don't think I need to take any more self-righteous crap from a woman who can't get her own daughter to look at her.

So, yeah, good luck with your kid who hates you.

Scotty and I will be on our way.

[Door opens, closes]
No, I need... I need to speak with the hotel manager.

Uh, ci sei? Direttore, bravissimo. Sto cercando Savannah Davis. Davis... "D"... Pronto.

Amazing.

Why don't you take a break?

I can't go hiking with you right now, Karen.

You've been through the whole list.

[Cellphone rings] Unknown number.

Here we go... hello?

Calista: Bastard's on the move. Who is this?

It's Calista.

Oh, my God, hi.

I did what you said.

I hacked the system.

What?

I hacked the system.

I did th... uh, the "find the phone" thingy.

Did it work?

Yes! I'm looking at his car now.

It's going north on Flower.

I'm telling you, he's going to that little cheesy hotel that he likes.

I'm picking you up. I need your help.

Just tell me where you live.

Okay, okay. Just...

You need to take a breath before you drive.

I'm texting you the address right now.

[Door opens, closes]

[Buttons clicking]

Hey. It's Karen.

Want some company?

[Knock on door]

Have a minute?

Come on in.

[Clears throat] Can I get you somethin'?

No, thank you.

I... I just wanted to come by and say that I'm sorry.

Things have been rough between me and Lucy, as you know, and I'm not handling it very well.

I am tense and I'm judgey...

Are these the sheets I got you?!

Sorry.

I'm sorry.

No, it's okay.

You're right.

I wasn't prepared for all this, April.

I mean, I used to have Scotty for like three hours at a time.

You know, we'd hit up the zoo or... or catch a movie, and then I'd drop him off.

I mean, I love the kid, but...

I know you do.

This is not how I live my life.

I'm the guy who has nothing, owes nothing.

That's not the log-line for a dad.

So, what do you want to do?

I don't know. I didn't ask for this.

Well, you took it.

Well, maybe I shouldn't have.

Maybe I should just call Miranda and tell her,

"look, you know, I'm sorry. You got to come home."

What do you say I help you?

Not criticize and control you, but actually try and help you.

I'm not psyched about meeting that principal.

I'll go with you.

Thank you, God.

I happen to be very good with principals.

I don't doubt it.

[Indistinct talking]

Harry, please, just call me or the restaurant as soon as you get this.

All right, everyone, listen up.

Big night tonight.

My friend Joe Zee is coming in with an entourage of Hollywood players and the like, so I want perfection.

Where is Harry?

Uh, um, he hasn't... He hasn't shown.

Are you kidding me?

U-uh, no, sir, I am not.

Well, call him!

I-I-I just did.

Call him again.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

[Ringing and music stop]

Hey!

Come on in. Don't be shy.

Ooh, what's this?

Soothing aromatherapy and a manicure kit.

Ugh! How did you know? My nails are a mess.

When things get real, it's the first thing to go.

[Sighs] Sit.

Mm. How are you?

Oh, I feel like something from the future.

Although in the future everything will probably be wireless.

Probably.

So, why are you here?

Whoa! You get right to it.

Life's too short. Screw the pretenses.

I have been thinking about you a lot, and my day happened to get free.

Today was supposed to be my monthly spa day with my best friend, Savi.

What happened?

She fled the country.

Oh.

Without so much as a goodbye or an explanation, either, leaving me to fear her kidnapped or dead or worse.

What's worse than dead?

I don't know!

I don't know...

I'm pissed off.

I'm not the one that hurt her.

I didn't kiss her ex-husband.

Who did?

Her sister.

Oh.

So, she's hurt and she's mad and embarrassed.

I get it. But she knew I was going through some stuff, too, and not a word from her for two weeks.

Two weeks of unanswered calls and e-mails and texts, not to mention the sleepless nights.

She was supposed to be my family.

I didn't move to Boston with a guy because she was my family.

Were you in love with him?

No.

[Sighs] Karen.

I'm sorry, I shouldn't be burdening you with this.

Okay, the last thing that you are is a burden.

But...

But?

But it sounds like your friend has had a hard blow and is taking some time for herself.

What's so bad about that?

Look, when I get angry like you are...

You get angry?

Hard to believe, I know.

But when I do, I usually end up realizing that underneath all that anger, I'm really just scared.

So, what are you scared of, Karen?

I'm here.

Okay...

I'm looking.

I don't see him. Are you sure this is the place?

No, I-I'm not parking. Not parking, not parking.

Go away. Yes, it is the place.

Look... his... His cell is tracking here.

He's... he's there.

Just keep looking.

Okay, I'm looking.

Okay, I'm... Thank you for doing this.

Oh, please, this is the greatest distraction from my very sad life.

Okay. Not him. Not him.

Oh, very cute guy, but not him.

[Gasps] Oh, God, it's him.

It's him? Who's he with?

Is he with the... the...

The woman with the ostrich legs, the blond girl?

I think he's alone.

Crap!

Oh, no, no, no, wait.

The waiter just brought him two champagnes.

So, he's meeting someone.

Or he's thirsty or celebratory.

I'm sure he's gonna stick his tongue down her throat as soon as she gets there, 'cause that's how classy he is.

So, just get ready to snap a photo.

Yeah, yeah, yeah! I got this covered.

Ooh, wow.

Those are ostrich legs, aren't they? That is so weird.

She's there?

Yeah, I think so.

Yeah. He's getting up.

She's walking over.

I got him, that scum-sucker. I got him. I finally got him.

[Cellphone beeps]

Oh, uh, uh, I think it's a European number.

It's... it's... I think it's Italy. Hello?

No, no. J... Joss?

Savi, I can't hear you. Can you hear me? Hello?

Wait, hello, Savi? Please don't hang up. I can't hear you yet.

Hello? Hello?

Hello? sh**t. Hello? Yes, hello.

This is the manager of Luna Hotel Baglioni.

The woman you are looking for was here, but she left a week ago.

I don't know where she go. I'm sorry.

Grazie.

Joss?! Joss!

Oh, hi. I'm...

Joss, what's happening?

I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm here.

I'm having a heart att*ck over here.

Joss, did you get the photo?

I thought this was a restaurant.

That's weird, 'cause there's no food.

Um... excuse me.

Uh, can you just check on our order, please? Thank you.

I am so sorry, everyone. Really, I am.

The restaurant biz, you know?

This is not rare, okay? Rare is bloody.

Does this look bloody? How are you gonna un-cook that?

Sorry I'm late, folks. Let's do this.

What's going out, Phil?

Uh, everything. I don't know.

Okay, big breath. I've got this. I got it.

Ellis was on a rampage earlier.

He's out there with a table of six VIPs.

If I were you, I'd steer clear.

VIPs you say.

Who are they?

Ah.

Sorry for the wait, folks.

Oh, good, good.

Oh, finally.

Thank God. I was going to fall over.

I was personally making some off-the-menu dishes.

Okay, we have roast beet salad with horseradish and salmon roe on brioche toast and seared scallop with carrot olive oil and citrus tapenade. Please, enjoy.

All right, we got it. Thank you.

Mmm.

Oh, my God.

I have to say, this dish is everything.

I mean, it's... it's innovative. It's whimsical.

It's flavor times flavor.

Thank you. Thank you. You're just as descriptive in real life as you are on "All on the Line."

You don't watch my show.

Oh, please. Are you kidding? It's major.

[Laughter]

Oh, I think I'm falling over again.

I mean, you're smart, you're talented, and you're handsome.

Seriously, Ellis, you should make it an open kitchen.

It's a shame not to be able to watch him all night.

Oh, I-I couldn't possibly work all distracted by beautiful ladies such as yourself.

It's just... Aww. Please, enjoy.

Well, can't you make room in the class for one more kid?

He's very small.

O-okay. Thanks.

Oh, my God! I am so sorry!

I know I was supposed to meet you at church yesterday.

Things have been so crazy.

Honey, what is it?

Do I fall out?

Of the group?

What are you talking about?

Without Savi, do I fall out?

I'm afraid with her gone, our friendship will fade.

She was the glue, the one who brought me in.

And I know Joss is like your sister.

Oh, my God, come here. You are spinning out.

I know.

Freakin' postcard.

Right?! What was that?!

I can't even.

Listen to me, Savi or no Savi, you are my sister, too.

I may miss things because of Lucy, but you are never falling out of anything.

And our friendship better not fade, because I need you.

I need, like, six therapists right now.

What's going on?

My daughter isn't talking to me and I seem to have adopted a third child in the form of a migrating 32-year-old man.

[Laughs]

[Sighs]

I think I may have an idea on how to fix everything, though.

Can I run it by you?

I'm sorry.

It's fine.

No, I'm really sorry.

It's really fine. Can I have another one of these?

I really thought it was my sister.

Right. Yes. Let's talk about that.

Let's talk about that. So what's...

What's his name, again? Harry?

Harry.

Harry.

Do you love him?

Oh, yeah.

Well, did she?

Who?

Your sister.

Well, he was her husband.

Yeah, she cheated on him, she dumped him, and she left him for dead, so to me, she sounds like she's not worth the sturm and drang.

Yeah, I don't know what that means.

It means stop being so hard on yourself.

So what? She caught you in a "here to eternity" moment with her ex.

While my fiancé was waiting for me at the altar.

Okay.

Yeah.

Well, this Harry must be something pretty special, then, right?

He is. He's the one.

I just wish that I could work through all this horrible ugly stuff so that I can get to the beautiful thing that I know I have waiting for me.

Just do it.

How?

I have an idea. Okay, I'm her.

I'm your sister. Tell me.

What are you talking about?

Tell me.

Tell me what you want to say.

I'm... I'm her. Savi.

Let me get the e-mail.

Okay, hold on.

No, no e-mail. No e-mail.

Joss, just say it. Just say it. Say it.

I don't know what I'm supposed to say.

"Savi." "Savi." Okay.

Um, Savi.

Mm-hmm?

I need you not to hate me.

Why?

Because I can't live with that.

Of course you can. Next.

No, I can't.

I can't.

You can, Joss. You can.

It'll be uncomfortable, it'll suck, and you'll feel loss... But you can live with it.

Unless you want to live without Harry.

Everyone's glass is full? Here's to you, chef.

Here's to Google. Without it, I wouldn't have known that Joe Q from...

Joe Zee.

It's Joe Zee?

Zee. Joe Zee... from my ass.

Cheers.

Cheers.

[Clears throat] Can I, uh, see you?

Please?

Well, I'm in a meeting.

Um, Joe just called, and apparently the Sundance channel is throwing some kind of big party on Friday and, uh, he wants you to come.

Well, you tell Joe I said thank you very much, but I'll be working in my restaurant that night.

Oh, and Ellis?

I'll be hiring all my people back, too, okay?

[Cellphone vibrates]

I can't believe you're calling me in this moment.

Hi. Y-you're there.

I didn't think you'd actually pick up.

Oh, well, then, why did you call me?

To leave a soliloquy on your voice-mail.

Well, then, I'll hang up and you can call me back.

No, don't. Don't.

Don't go anywhere.

I just wanted to say thank you.

For what?

Well, I was, uh... [Clears throat]

I was ready to quit Wunderbar today.

Why?

Oh, it's really not worth getting into, but let's just say I was halfway down the road to throwing it all away...

When I remembered how you fought for me, how you fought for me not to go back to Australia, and how you fought for me to get this rock-star job, and to keep it when things got weird with Greta.

And when you weren't there during this little rough patch, I actually had to do some fighting for myself, Joss, and y... You know what?

I... I did it in a way you'd be proud of, I think.

In a way that didn't wreck everything that we worked for together.

Harry... I really miss you.

I miss you.

[Sighs]

So, what's this about?

You'll know in a sec.

Well, I see you've relaxed on the whole controlling thing.

Don't make me regret what I'm about to say.

All right, guys.

Put that down for a sec. I have something to propose.

[Clears throat]

How do you all feel about Marc and Scotty living here with us for a while?

Oh, my gosh!

There's a... a bedroom right off the kitchen, plus you can use this address to get Scotty into a good neighborhood school.

I don't want to be a burden.

You won't be.

What do you say, kids?

Yes! Yes! This is awesome.

She's smiling. She's actually smiling.

Oh, my gosh, it's gonna be so much fun!
