06x04 - The Doctor Is In... Deep

[bunniefuu]

Morning.

Where am I?

This is Matt's place?

Nope, my place now.

Well, what am I doing here?

You were too drunk
to drive home last night

so I let you sleep
it off on the couch.

I'm not sure, but I think we
must've k*lled the bottle.

Along with a few brain cells.

Never thought I'd be waking
up in this building again.

Why not?

Too many bad memories here,
including an ex-wife

who just wants to keep trashing
me to stay in practice.

Dude, look, don't even get me
started on the subject of ex-wives.

That's what got last night's binge
rolling in the first place.

Hey, man,
you want some breakfast?

No, no. I got to get home,

change clothes before work.
See you later.

All right.
See you at the office.

Hey. What the hell do
you think you're doing?

I don't have the slightest idea
what you're talking about.

No, you just couldn't
wait to tip off Craig

about my
takeover plans, could you?

I didn't tip anybody
off to anything.

And why should I believe you?

Well, why should I
care what you believe?

And maybe I should've
tipped him off.

Then he can take you
down a peg or two.

Never happen. I've got an ally
with real assets these days.

Not that I didn't appreciate
your pathetic effort.

Hi. Can you tell me which unit
Amanda Woodward lives in?

Oh. Have those. Thanks.

Well, congratulations. You've got an
ally with assets and flowers, huh?

Who are they from?

Uh, let's see.

Eric Baines, congratulating
me on my new venture.

The buyout isn't even
done yet, is it?

Well, it's just
a good luck gesture.

You know, business thing.

How does it feel to
dance with the devil?

Yes, Thursday should be fine.

Hey, Michael.

You ought to check out this
conference in Santa Barbara tomorrow.

There are gonna be some
fascinating seminars on...

Forget it, forget it. These
educational junkets bore me to tears.

I already know everything I
need to know about medicine.

Uh-huh.

See you at the hospital.

Michael. Wait.

That was Dr. Visconti.

He wants to see us for another therapy
session tomorrow, and I agreed.

But we just saw him yesterday.

I know, but things went so well.

I think our relationship
is already getting better.

Look, now is the time
to forge ahead.

I don't know, sweetheart.

What's the point in
rehashing a lot of problems

that we've practically
worked through?

The point is to
keep working on them,

to explore our
innermost feelings.

And how come I can't share those
in a more intimate environment?

Where I, you know, feel
more open with my emotions.

Like where?

Bed? I'll tell you how come.

Because our therapist won't
let you get away with that

double talk pillow talk
that I keep falling for.

Why, I don't know.

You know, that's my private line.
I gotta get that.

But I do hope we can continue
this discussion later.

Not.

Yeah, this is Dr. Mancini.

We have to have sex right away.

Who is this? It's Taylor,
who do you think?

Now, when can you do me?

Uh, you know, that's just not possible.
I'm all booked up here.

I got a chief of staff
meeting, review board here.

Michael, the next
hours are critical.

It's my window of fertility.

Uh, do you need me
to schedule you something?

Oh, no, no, no.
It's just a new patient.

Look, you know what,
we'll work something out.

I'll get you in
the next day or two.

So you have time
for a new patient

but you don't have time for a therapy
session to save your marriage.

I swear, Michael, if your priorities
are still this screwed up...

wait, wait, wait.
Speaking of priorities.

I almost forgot.
I totally forgot.

I've got this medical
education conference

in Santa Barbara
I've got to go to tomorrow.

I'm sorry, babe. I've got to
cancel everything for that.

But I'll tell you what,

the second I get back, we're
going to couples therapy

and I'm not gonna
take "no" for an answer.

Hi. Hey.

Hey, let's go. We've got
new offices to check out.

Offices? Are you that close to wrapping
up the deal on your new company?

Pretty close.

What's that mean for Craig?

It means I'm gonna crush him.
And it serves him right.

Who d*ed and
made you cosmic judge?

Well, the position was
open so I just took it.

Oh, by the way, I confronted
Peter this morning,

and he denied telling Craig
anything about the takeover.

Do you think he was
telling the truth?

Well, he had no reason not to.

So somebody else
must have spilled the beans.

Which means we have
a spy somewhere,

who's feeding our plans
to the other side.

Oh, it's not gonna help Craig.

That idiot knows
even less about business

than he does about advertising.

Yeah. But it'd be nice to
know who the traitor is.

Bye. Give him hell.

It's your ex-wife. Again.

Yeah, Lexi,
what can I do for you?

You can show me your books so we
can put this settlement behind us.

Lexi, I've instructed
my people to be

as forthcoming as possible
with your people.

Yes, well, I'll be forthcoming into los
Angeles tomorrow with my accountant.

You can expect us to be in
your office at : a.m..

Well, that's fine
because I won't be.

I'm going out of town
for the weekend.

Mmm. Las Vegas?

Tijuana? The brothels
of Southeast Asia?

Medical conference in Santa
Barbara as a matter of fact.

Really? Biltmore?
Mmm, I love that place.

I know. That's why I'm
staying at the Regency.

Fine. I'll meet you there, then.

Any messages? Nope.

Hey, Peter, listen.

I'm registered for this medical
conference in Santa Barbara this weekend,

but a scheduling
conflict came up.

Any chance of you
filling in for me up there?

Ah, sure. What the hell.

Just had another run-in
with my ex this morning,

I could probably
use the fresh air.

The leasing agent said
we can occupy by Monday.

Yeah. Shouldn't be a problem getting
it furnished over the weekend.

Good. My financing is set,

and I want to show the clients the
new space as soon as possible.

Oh, they'll see the
new space, Amanda.

They just won't be your clients.

I thought this was a security building.
Who let you in?

Actually, I just leased these
offices out from under you

at % above market price.

Well, if you thought
you had nothing before,

wait until my lawyers
finish with you.

Do your worst, Amanda.

I got my bankers all lined up.

I've offered my clients
deals you can't match.

Maybe you should just bow out gracefully
before I really humiliate you.

I don't think you've earned your
bragging rights just yet, Craig.

You know, this is your
last chance, Billy.

You can walk out
of here with me now

and I'll take you back
at lower salary, of course.

Or you can stay here and
go down with the... the ship.

I think I'll take my chances
right here where I am.

That's why you'll always be
a second banana, Campbell.

Tell Mr. Baines Amanda
Woodward's on the line.

Amanda! It's good
to hear from you.

Amanda: Hi, Eric, um...

listen, I may need more
money than we discussed.

Craig is moving faster
than I thought he could.

I don't know
who his backers are.

Well, it doesn't really
sound like a money problem.

Tell you what,
I'll make some calls,

bring some pressure to bear.

But trust me, Amanda,

this'll be taken care of the
second we're off the phone.

Amanda: Just like that?

It's a done deal.

In that case I'm off the phone.

What was that all about?

Having the best man
in your corner.

Nothing beats it.

Hope you're paying
yourself overtime.

What are you doing here?

Uh, just got off work.
I'm not really tired.

Thought I'd see
if you needed a hand.

It's just paperwork.

But why are you so grumpy?

I had some setbacks today.

I don't know where
they're coming from

and I don't know
who to trust anymore.

Me.

You know to trust me.

I guess I do.

So tell me about these setbacks.

One of my money people
got cautious, that's all.

He wants a clarification on
something that I thought was clear.

So I've been going through
these spreadsheets.

Well, you look like shinola.

Let me get you some coffee.

The coffee machine's
in the corner.

You know, it's not
a sign of weakness

to accept help
in a situation like this.

I've been there, I know.

Feel all alone, hanging
on by your fingernails

and you haven't had
a manicure in weeks.

You've got flop sweat
all over you

and people can
smell it for miles

and they run when
you walk in the door.

Is that the time to cave?
No, it is not.

It's time to
get out the perfume.

Or in this case cover yourself all
over with a beautiful friend.

'Cause people think, "well, if
he's got a beautiful friend"

"then he must have
something on the ball."

and once they
start thinking that

then it's easier
for you to think so.

And then once you believe it...

you don't look
so desperate anymore.

And before you know it
you're back on top again.

Sam?

Ah. I'm so glad you're home.

Where have you been all day?

I've been trying to
restructure the office lease,

nail down the clients.

Looks like Craig might
still win this thing.

What are you doing up so late?

Reorganizing my closet.

I always do that when I
want to start my life over

and make a new beginning.

Oh, yeah? That's great.

I'm glad to see you're
pulling out of your funk.

I wasn't gonna
say anything, but... good.

Billy.

What? What is it?

It was me.

I was the spy.

What do you mean?

It was me. I was the
one who told Craig

about Amanda's hostile takeover.

You? You couldn't have.

I know, but I did.

You're supposed to
be on my side.

I'm sorry. I just...

Why would you purposely
ruin everything for me?

It's not like that.
I didn't, I swear.

I was just trying
to bring you all together.

And you can still do it.
You and Amanda and Craig

can all form a new agency,
running it together.

That way nobody wins and loses.

We have already lost so much.

Our families, our parents,
our wives, our businesses.

Stop it! This is my life
you're playing with.

I mean, I could end up
with nothing out of this.

You would have me.

Oh, great. We'll go get a job
at a supermarket together.

At least we would
still be together.

You've no clue what you've done!

Hey, Peter. You want to go to that
gluteoplasty seminar with me?

I already see enough of you at
the office, Michael, thank you.

I'm playing golf today,
Michael, golf.

But by all means,
take good notes.

I'm sorry, ma'am.

Dr. Cooper is still registered
with the conference,

he just hasn't shown up yet.

And you expect him when?

I'm sure he'll arrive before
the general noon meeting.

Can I give him a message
when he checks in?

No, you may not.

Excuse me.

Looks like you could use a little help
here. Is there anything I can do?

I doubt it.

My ex-wife is quite unattractive,
both inside and out.

Mmm. Are you sure it wasn't just
the divorce that made you angry?

You kidding me? That's
what caused the divorce.

And did you ever try
any couples counseling?

Oh, we tried everything.
Separations, retreats,

therapy. You and Michael have been
seeing a therapist, haven't you?

And things have really been improving,
especially the last couple days.

But I get the impression
he's sort of backsliding, he...

He canceled to go to a medical
conference in Santa Barbara.

Said he couldn't get out of it.

Too bad he didn't
take you with him.

Santa Barbara is so romantic.

Hmm.

But these medical conferences are
usually pretty boring for a spouse.

He was probably afraid
that I would say "no".

I do that a lot lately.

How long have things been
rocky between you two?

On and off since
before Kimberly d*ed.

How did she die?

A brain aneurysm, it started
leaking and popped.

Did Michael
oversee the operation?

No. Kimberly refused surgery.

A good doctor would have
never accepted that.

The aneurysm probably
clouded her judgment.

But then, I guess
giving bad medical advice

is one way to back out
of a relationship.

You know,
Michael loved Kimberly.

And so did I.

You were friends?

Mmm-hmm.

Kimberly introduced
me to Michael.

She generated strong
feelings wherever she went.

Yeah.

So does that conference
start today?

Yeah.

You know what, I think I
will go meet Michael there.

Life is short, you know.

Unless you're
the one left behind.

Then the days can just drag on.

♪ Play me something ♪

So,

I understand Amanda is playing
dirty pool against Craig.

Yeah. Who told you that?

Craig. He said that
she smells blood,

that she's out to break him.

No mercy, no prisoners.

Like a blonde ninja.

No, Amanda is no assassin,

she's just a very
good businesswoman.

Maybe so.

Craig said she's got
this secret partner.

I just wonder what
his moral code is like.

Looks like you could
use a glass of wine.

Well, make it a vodka martini
and you've got yourself a deal.

You know, speaking of deals.

I understand you've taken off the
gloves in this thing with Craig.

All business is business,
and from where I'm standing

if Craig wants to play hardball

he's gotta learn how
to take the fast pitches.

Oh, I took them okay.

Right between the eyes.

It's a little premature
to be celebrating, isn't it?

Not at all. This is the moment.

I mean, you won, Amanda.

You must be so
proud of yourself.

That big time New York boyfriend of yours
went the whole nine yards for you.

Forced my banks to pull out.

He knows
all the pressure points.

He does. He's not my boyfriend.

No?

Personal loan officer then?

So what do you owe him?
Or did you pay him already?

You took that little trip
to New York, did you?

Let's see if we can get
this gentleman a cab.

I'll just walk home.

Try not to chew gum
at the same time.

Yeah. Jennifer: Why not?

Did you hire someone
to break his teeth, too?

Man: Come on, sir.
We'll get you a cab.

So, tell me, what exactly
did happen in New York?

Exactly nothing. Craig is
just taking wild sh*ts.

Just what I expect
from a loser like him.

He's a human being, Amanda.

Have a little compassion.

Billy: Sorry I'm late.

Billy, what's going on that you
couldn't tell me on the phone?

We did it.

We got it, we won the takeover.

What?

I'm gonna be the number two man

at the new
number one agency in town.

Oh, that's terrific.
I'm so proud of you.

Where does that
leave Craig, though?

Unemployed, I guess.

He's a big boy,
I think he'll do okay.

I know, I know, I know he will.

Please don't take
my concern the wrong way.

I wasn't trying to hurt you.

I never wanted to hurt anybody.
You didn't.

You were under a lot of
pressure, we all were.

Okay, we're past it.

This is not going to sink
us, let's just move on.

You really forgive me?

Of course I do, I love you.

Promise me
you'll never leave me.

I'm not going anywhere.

I'm here because I want to be,

because I want to be with you.

Because I want...

I want you to be my...

I want you to be my...

What, what were you
going to say?

You want me to be your what?

I want you to be there for me.

I want us to
be there for each other.

Dr. Mancini? Hmm.

We just got a message
from your wife.

She's up in your room,
waiting for you.

Megan? She's here?

Anything I can do now?

If you're a doctor, I don't
even want to know you.

Well.

I'm afraid you came to the wrong
hotel on the wrong weekend.

What, this isn't
the Bombay Polo Club?

No, I'm afraid not.

But they do make a pretty
terrific gin and tonic here.

Mmm.

For medicinal purposes
only, of course.

Chanel No. .

Obsession.

I mean Obsession.

I've been there.

I'm over mine.

I'm so glad.

Now I know you have space
in your life for me, then.

Well, maybe closet space.

Can I buy you a drink?

No.

But you can take me to your room
and make love to me all night.

I thought that was
supposed to be my line.

No. No, your line...

your line is, "I've been waiting
for you my whole life."

I've been waiting
for you my whole life.

Hello, my name... No.

No. No names.

Not even first names.

Megan, is this
a great suite or what?

Honey? I'm home!

Party time!

Come on, baby.

I got the shower
all warmed up for you.

I thought you were Megan.

Do I look like Megan?

Taylor, what are you doing here?

What do you think? My fertile
window's almost closed.

Look, look, look. Enough
is enough with that, okay?

No! Enough is not enough. We
have to have sex this weekend.

That's why I got room .
It's just down the hall.

You know what? I think
I'm getting a headache.

Well, I think I got
just the thing for that.

Watch out! I can't
get my bandages wet.

Well, just keep your
hands up, partner,

and no one's gonna get hurt.

I must be out of my mind.

What is it? What's the matter?

I don't do things like this.

What do you mean?

I've only been with one
man my entire life.

You...

you're serious, aren't you?

Yes, I'm serious.

I know exactly who you are.

Well.

Who am I, then?

You come from a lot of money.

And it's summers at the vineyard.
But it's a bore.

And you think you should
adopt another charity.

And your degree is from Smith.
Or is it Bennington?

But you don't do much with it.

And you definitely never
do this kind of thing.

No, no, no. Never this.

Except sometimes late at
night when you can't sleep.

And you wonder
what you're waiting for.

I know who you are, too.

You're the prep schools
and the country clubs

and the overachieving
that was never quite enough.

And you never do anything
that you weren't good at.

Golf, surgery.

Sex.

I also know that
some woman must have

torn your heart
into a thousand pieces.

Two women, actually.

One of them's
been dead for years.

But your tormentor's still
very much alive, isn't he?

I trusted him.

I opened myself to him.

Every hidden, tender
corner of my soul.

He just discarded
me like a bad meal.

Like it didn't matter
how much I hurt.

Being with you in some anonymous
hotel room is just...

cheap.

And it's not me.

There's nothing cheap about
the way I feel right now.

I know.

I'll call you here
tomorrow morning.

Michael. Michael.

Did you see me
with a woman last night?

No. Did you see me with a woman?

Gentlemen, I have
a message for a Dr...

Burns. Right here.

Oh, I'm sorry. It's for Dr. Mancini.
It's your wife, Doctor.

She's waiting for you
up in your room.

Again?

Okay, thanks.

I'm on my way.
See you later, Peter.

Excuse me.

Do you remember seeing me
with a woman last night?

You bet I do.

You wouldn't happen to
know her name, would you?

Wish I did.

So do I, my friend, so do I.

Well.

What do you think I am,
some kind of love machine?

Mmm, I sure do.

Megan! What a surprise!

You know, your progress in therapy
has been such a surprise to me.

Such a pleasant surprise.

So do you wanna come in
or should I come out?

- Taylor: Michael!
- You here?

Uh, babe? Yeah?

I'll wait for you
in the bedroom.

Okay.

We can't...

Michael? What are you doing?

Megan's in the bathroom.

Well, what about me?

What about my ovulatory cycle?

No, I understand, George.

Nobody could have withstood
that kind of pressure.

I don't blame you.

Yes.

I'll call you when
I get back into town.

Bye now.

Well, that's the last of them.

I don't get how you could
let these guys off the hook

when every one of them bailed on
you at the first sign of trouble.

Why are you being so nice?

'Cause you never know
who you might need someday.

Isn't that the truth?

You come to gloat?

No, actually,
I came to apologize.

I said and did some things that
I'm not terribly proud of.

And I wanted to say I'm sorry.

I think you've got a lot
of nerve coming here.

And Craig showed a lot of nerve

by putting up the kind
of fight that he did.

So, I want to offer you a
job at my new company.

A high-level job.

We could use a few
executives with your spirit.

What's the matter, Amanda?
Trying to save your soul?

No, just making a peace offering

from someone who
doesn't have to offer.

What do you say, Craig?

I'm saying that
you must be kidding

because I wouldn't work
for a snake like you

if you were the last one
on this earth.

Go, Craig!

I'm sorry you feel that way.

But if you do change your mind

I'll be working late
tonight at my new office.

I just hope that someday
you'll come around.

You know what's gonna happen
to you someday, Amanda?

I'll crush you
flatter than spit.

It might not be next year.
Might be years from now.

So you better
keep your eyes open

because the day that
I show up for payback

is the day that
you're gonna fall.

Whatever.

I want you to know that I have
not completely forgiven you yet.

But in light of recent
improvements in your attitude

I'm willing to call a truce.

Oh, yeah? I can see you're
wearing a white flag.

I called Dr. Visconti
before I came,

and he said
since you did so well

with his exercise
not to lie for hours

that he thinks we should try
extending it for a whole week.

Well, that is fine by me.

I mean, I'll call it
a regular no-lie zone

if it means getting
you back, sweetheart.

Okay, we'll give it a try.

But my eyes are wide open.

Hey!

Gee, I gotta answer that, honey.
Doesn't matter.

No, no, no, no. It might
be a chief of staff thing.

The hospital knows I'm here.

Come on. Hold this. Okay. Okay.

Yeah. This is Dr. Mancini.

You can't put me off any longer, Michael.
Your place or mine?

That was my service.

I gotta contact the ICU.

But, you know, I don't wanna
destroy the mood here

so I'm gonna go make the
call from the other room.

Oh, no.

It'll just take a second.

Megan is still here.
Don't call again!

Well, then you better get your
butt, among other things,

over to my place right now.

And don't you be wasting
your manly essence

on a wife who doesn't even
want to get pregnant.

Hey, I'm trying to
save my marriage here.

Let me draw you a picture.

If you don't walk through my
door and have me this instant

I'm gonna walk through your door

and I'm gonna
tell Megan everything.

Now, which door do you think
is gonna save your marriage?

Everything okay at the hospital?

Critical patient,
it'll work out.

Oh! Damn it!

It's okay. It's okay.

No, no, no. I'll be right back.

Where are you going?

To get some ice.
I hate warm champagne.

Oh, Michael, just pick
it up off the floor.

No, no. That's dirty.

Honey, I don't care.

Honey, don't worry about it.
I'm gonna make this up to you.

Oh, my God.

You got any ice?

Ooh! She got you
all ready for me.

Yeah, yeah, we gotta
do this fast, okay?

Fast is your specialty.

And we better get in the shower.

I got to soap down fast.

Well, soaping down
is my specialty.

♪ ♪

Looks like a slow night.

I'm just catching up
on my letter writing.

Say hi to your mom for me.

My mom hates you.

Well, you tell her that hate
is a non-productive emotion.

You tell her that. From me.

Speaking of which,

Amanda offered Craig a high-level
job at her new firm today.

You been giving her
Zen lessons, too?

She did that? Yeah.

Maybe she was on dr*gs.

You gotta give the devil
her due, Jennifer.

Do you know
where she is right now?

Told Craig she'd be working
late at her new offices.

I'm gonna slide out of here early.
Will you close up for me?

Please?

Looks like a slow night.

Thank you.

Hey, baby.

Ohh, okay.

Whew.

Hey.

Where were you?

You wouldn't believe it.

I had to go down four floors just to
finally find an ice machine that worked.

And then when I did,
I dropped the bucket again.

And I had to go back.

It's all right, I'm not in
the mood anymore, anyway.

Oh, I understand completely.

Oh, I made a mess of this
whole night, didn't I?

I wouldn't blame you
if you just want to

turn out the light
and go to sleep.

Oh! What?

What's with your bandages?
They're all wet.

Oh! Oh, yeah, the ice, I, uh...

You know, when I got the ice,

it melted all over my bandages.

I couldn't keep
the darn things dry.

You goof.

You went to all that trouble
just to keep our champagne cold?

Yeah, well, I figured you came
all the way out here to see me.

It was the least I could do.

Come here.

Come on. I just...

I just love starting
from scratch with you.

I hope this isn't too early,
but I have to see you.

No, no, no, Taylor. Please, no sex.
I'm tapped dry. Please.

That's just it. You don't
have to perform anymore.

Huh?

It's happened. I'm with child.

How do you know?

A woman just senses
these things.

Oh, I'm sorry, Taylor,

but it's medically impossible
for you to know so soon.

I mean, even if I got
you pregnant last night

it would take at least a couple of
weeks for the test to show positive.

Michael, I could feel the
moment of conception.

Oh.

Anyway, I just came by to thank
you for all of your hard work.

Making love with you
was pretty fabulous.

Oh.

Well... you know,

I can't say that love had
anything to do with it,

but, hey, I do my best.

I mean, it's so amazing when
there's no emotion, no attachment.

You can just focus
on the mechanics

without all those
distracting feelings.

So, bravo, Mr. Mechanics.

Oh, God, this is great.

No, you're great.

Okay. Sorry. Whoa!

Oh!

Settle down. What are you doing?

Okay, I wanted to
say this last night,

but you got home so late, and
then I finally fell asleep.

And then, when I
woke up an hour later,

you were asleep, and I
didn't want to wake you up.

So I've been waiting
patiently all night long.

Well, actually,
not so patiently.

But now you're awake,
and I have to tell you.

Tell me what? What's going on?

We're gonna get married.

I mean, I know what you wanted
to ask me the other night.

I could just tell by the way
that you were hemming and hawing

and you just couldn't
spit it out and...

At first I wasn't sure
of what I wanted.

And now I am.

Yes, I want to be your wife.

Marriage?

I'm so happy!

I've just never
done this before.

Marriage? That's,
like, a big step.

I know! It's huge.

Honey.

I can't do this.

What do you mean?

What do I mean? I mean...

I'm flattered, of
course, and I love you,

but I'm feeling, like, totally out
on a limb starting this new agency.

Everything's up in the air.

Our life is completely unstable.

You mean I'm unstable.

No. I mean I don't know what
tomorrow's gonna bring.

The agency could fold.

I just think we need to
be cautious for a while.

You don't want to marry me.

I know we're gonna
get married someday.

I just think we need
to wait a while.

I'm going through a crazy time right now.
I love you.

No problem.

Just came down to go over
tonight's upstairs menu with you.

You want it, we got it.

You're in a chipper mood.

Kyle, I felt the baby today.
You want to feel?

Uh, no. No, that's okay.

Oh, come on, it's your
baby, too, feel it!

No, I...

Kyle, come on, I've gotta hur...

Oh, Amanda,

would you like to
feel Kyle's baby too?

No, thanks.

You know, we should
really get going...

I just think the
miracle of pregnancy

is something that every
woman should experience.

You ought to try it, Amanda.

It makes you...

oh, how can I say it?

A real woman.

What's this? They're fighting.

No more excuses. I mean it!

Now I have brought my
accountant with me into town,

I know you keep your old
ledgers close at hand,

and I demand to
see them right now!

The books aren't here and you know what?
Even if they were...

Even if they were, what? What?!

I'm sorry. You two haven't met.

Peter Burns, Lexi sterling.

We used to be married but she
dropped the last name Cooper

when the divorce papers
were still warm.

Hello. It's nice to meet you.

My pleasure.

Look at the time.
I've really got to be going.

Gee. So soon?

I'm staying at the
Royal Beach Hotel.

Room .

Stay in touch.

What a hag.

As you know, this is the finest
office suite in the building.

I don't mind that
your design ideas

have made it better
than I could have imagined.

Here's the keys that
cover the outer doors,

the inner offices,
the bathroom and the safe.

Congratulations, Ms. Woodward.

Thanks. I'm sure we'll be happy
here for a very long time.

Long live the queen.

Is it okay if I knock off early?

Sam's a little on edge with
all of our ups and downs.

That's fine. Just deal
with the final papers first.

And call everyone
about work tomorrow

and don't forget
about the ribbon-cutting.

Oh! And be sure to touch
base with all the clients.

I will.

See you, Billy.

Thank you. Thanks.

Thank you. Amanda: Bye.

I am very proud of you

and I love you.

Well, I couldn't have done
it without your support.

Or without mine, I might add.

Eric!

Whoa. What a surprise!

Eric Baines, Kyle McBride.

Kyle. Eric.

I've heard so much about you.

Really? I haven't heard
too much about you.

So are you out here on business?

Yes. Most definitely.

And I like what I saw, so...

I decided to move out.

Well, you don't mean you're
going to relocate permanently?

No, not going to, Amanda.
I've already made the move.

I'm here.

Ms. Shaw, hi. It's Brett
Cooper returning your call.

Dr. Cooper,
I've been so worried.

I left all my messages with
your service in Cleveland,

but then they said you'd moved.

Where are you?

I'm fine. No need for concern.

I've just moved to Los Angeles.

Matter of fact, you'll never
guess who I'm partners with now.

Michael Mancini.

Oh, my God, no.

Get away from there. Do not
get involved with that man.

That is what k*lled Kimberly.

You don't have to worry,
I promise you.

I've got everything
under control.

Yes, well, that's...

that's what my
daughter thought, too.

Once you get caught up
in that man's webs...

you never break free.

Well, I've got a few webs
of my own, Ms. Shaw.

Hey, Sam, you home?

I'm gonna take you out for the
best dinner you ever had.

"Dear, Billy, I hope this
makes your life more stable."

"Goodbye. Love, Sam."

Sammy?

I'm Peter.

I'm Lexi.
