07x26 - How Amanda Got Her Groove Back

[bunniefuu]

MAN: Co rising to .

WOMAN: I need a
reading on the rhythm strip.

WOMAN: Fifty?

(groans)

PETER: Michael, how is she?

Well, considering she fell out
of a window, pretty damn lucky.

I mean, there were
no broken bones or...

- Mind if I look at this?
- Or internal injuries.

Yeah, what the hell
happened to you?

Kyle broke out of rehab
and came after me.

Don't ask me why
'cause I don't know.

You sure about this?

I was about to tell you.

Yeah.

- Kyle.
- Hey.

Jane called, said there
was an accident at the club.

Is Amanda okay?

What's going on?

It was my fault.

What do you mean,
'cause you're in rehab?

No, because I pushed her.

Peter and I were fighting,
she tried to break it up,

I never even saw her.

What were you doing at
the club in the first place?

MEGAN: Would you
like a cup of coffee?

Yeah.

- Yeah.
- I would, thanks.

Okay. Well, we'll be right back.

What are you doing?
Kyle needs me right now.

No, you're not helping
him, you're upsetting him.

I'm sorry, I'm just trying to
figure out what happened.

I know this has something
to do with Peter and Amanda.

Why?

They're having
an affair, I know it.

I told Burns to
stay away from her.

Well, there's nothing
we can do about it now

until we find out
about Amanda, okay?

Hey, where's my husband?

Sorry, Mrs. Burns, but
Dr. Burns is still with that patient.

Meaning he's still with Amanda?

Hi, Eve. Any word on
Amanda's condition?

I don't know, ask
one of the nurses.

I know how close you are.

I know how hard this
must be for you, but,

just remember,
Amanda's a fighter.

Just leave me alone.

MICHAEL: Kyle,

- Amanda's gonna be all right.
- Oh.

We need to keep
her here a few days,

but, uh, there are
no serious injuries.

- Thank God.
- Kyle,

can I have a word
with you in private?

I don't think that's
such a good idea.

No, he's got something
to say, I'd love to hear it.

For the record, I
never slept with...

For the record, I think you are

- a lying son of a bitch.
- There's more going on here.

Amanda was pregnant.

- She lost the baby.
- (sighs)

I think you should
be the one to tell her.

Why?

It was your baby.

You were the father.

Eve. I'm sorry

I haven't had a
chance to talk to you.

You bastard!

You had an affair with
Amanda and now she's pregnant

with your child.

I don't know what
Kyle told you...

I told Kyle.

I overheard you
arguing with Ryan.

I know you've been
checking into hotel rooms.

Is that where you conceived
your child, in a hotel room?

Have you lost your mind?

I heard every word,

I know you were gonna
keep the baby a secret.

There is no baby, thanks to you.

The baby d*ed.

I...

I am sorry for the baby.

But you and Amanda
can rot in hell.

- PETER: Eve!
- Peter, Peter.

I think you ought
to cool off first.

Yeah.

At least when I fooled
around, I used protection.

Oh, well, chalk one
up for you, Michael.

Hey, is there any truth
to what Eve just said?

Um, you know what,

I refuse to answer
that under the grounds

that it might incriminate
my best friend.

Hey.

Amanda was pregnant,
she lost the baby.

I don't know what to say.

Yeah, I never believed in the
immaculate conception, either.

I warned Peter to stay
away from her, but...

According to Peter,

it wasn't his baby.

A-And you believe him?

I don't know what
to think anymore.

I've got this weird...

sense of loss in the
pit of my stomach

like maybe it was my baby.

Kyle, she's your wife,
you're gonna feel bad.

No, no, Ryan, it was
more than that. It was...

A couple of months ago,
Amanda and I went to a hotel.

We made love

and it was incredible.

It was like nothing I have
ever experienced in my life,

and we were both so
sure that we made a baby.

But you couldn't have.

Yeah, it doesn't make any sense.

She took a home pregnancy
test at Christmas time.

How could I have been so
wrong about something like that?

Sometimes you want
something so bad, Kyle,

you can make yourself
believe you made it happen.

(sighs) Why did I push her away?

Why, why didn't I just tell her?

We could've worked it out, but,

no...

I pushed her away.

I pushed her right
into Peter's arms.

I pushed her
through that window.

Peter, Amanda just woke up.

I think somebody
should talk to her.

Oh...

Listen, uh,

you know, when Jane
had a miscarriage,

I handled that very badly.

Don't do what I did.

Share your feelings
with Amanda, huh?

Get it all out.

It wasn't my baby, Michael.

Then it's not your fault.

You can stop
b*ating yourself up.

Hey, I didn't blame myself when
that wacko, Audrey Williams,

accused me of sexual
harassment, you know?

'Cause I knew it wasn't true.

I love Eve, Michael.

I love her. I'm very happy.

I don't want to stray,

I don't want to cheat on her.

I've shared more with that girl
than I ever shared with Amanda.

I mean, she hears one
conversation, though,

and she immediately
jumps to the conclusion

that I'm cheating on her.

Now, what does that
say about me, huh?

I mean, what is it about people,

when they get close to
me, they can't trust me?

I trust you, Peter.

Thanks.

I should probably
try and find Kyle.

Don't bother, I already tried.

He's not in the hospital.

But Amanda

needs to be told
about that baby...

now.

I guess I'm elected.

PETER: Hi.

Last time I was in here,
I couldn't move my legs.

I hope you have better
news for me this time.

Yeah, you're gonna be,

you're gonna be
fine, legs and all.

Thank God.

Is there something else?

I really don't know
how to tell you this,

so...

I'll just say it.

We ran a blood test

and it showed that
you were pregnant.

What do you mean?
I lost the baby?

Yeah, I'm sorry.

Where's Kyle?

I told him about the baby

and he, he took off.

He said he wanted to think.

I know exactly what
he was thinking:

you were the father.

That's why he
came looking for you.

I told him that
you and I hadn't...

And you're wondering,
too, aren't you?

Well, it is a
reasonable question.

Well, I don't have a
reasonable answer.

I swear, I have
been faithful to Kyle.

(sighs) I have to go find him.

No, no, hey, you're not
going anywhere tonight.

- Just, just forget about it.
- Well,

you believe me, right?

(sighs): Yes, I
always believe you.

Well, almost always.

I could...

really use a friend right now.

Would you stay
with me for a while?

I'll stay with you
as long as you like.

Hi, it's me.

I know we're not supposed
to talk to each other,

but I really need you.

Can I come over?

(sighs)

Thanks.

No, I know the address.

I'll see you soon.

(Ryan sighs)

(dog barking)

What are you doing here?

Well, I heard what
happened, and I...

I didn't want to show
up at the hospital

'cause I figured
it'd make a scene...

I just wanted to know
if you were all right.

I'm fine, thanks.

You don't look fine.

I'm just tired is all.

This is my fault, isn't it?

If I'd just kept my mouth
shut about Amanda and Peter,

this probably would
have never happened.

Yeah, maybe it is your
fault. Maybe it's my fault.

But you know what?

None of this really
matters because it all sucks.

I mean, nobody loved each
other more than Kyle and Amanda.

If those two can't make a
relationship work, nobody can.

You know, I might not be
an expert on the subject,

being such a big loser at love,

but I know that there is
somebody out there for me

that I can live the rest of
my life with and make it work.

Yeah? I've been in a
couple serious relationships,

and, uh, love's never enough.

I mean, there were always
things I couldn't share.

Like what?

I mean, how many serious
relationships have you been in?

Like, none of your business.

Just, you know, women
back in New York.

Business relationships
blossomed into romance.

And, uh, I'm going to turn in.

Good night.

LEXI: Isn't Megan's
apartment that way?

I think I'll sleep
alone tonight.

(door closes)

(metallic clanging)

Hello?

- Jackie?
- Down here!

I'm making some tea. I
figured you'd want some.

(laughs) Oh, God.

It's been so long. (laughs)

I missed you.

And all those fun
nights we spent together

in the concrete condo?

(laughs)

You're looking good.

The outside world
really agrees with you.

(sighs) No, it doesn't.

I can't make it
out there, Jackie.

I don't want to hear that
kind of talk, not from you.

You're one of the
righteous ones.

You always used to say that,

and I would
believe you, but I...

JACKIE: No buts.

I'm counting on you to prove
that second chances do exist.

That it's not some
stupid fairytale.

I blew my second chance.

My marriage is over,
which means my life is over.

JACKIE: Eve,

you got so much going for you.

You're special.

It was easier to
be special in prison.

(laughs)

Isn't that something?

(Kyle sighs)

Hey, how are you feeling?

Better... now that you're here.

I'm sorry you got hurt.

And I'm sorry about the baby.

Our baby.

No. No more lies, Amanda.

I got it all figured out.

Well, I'm glad one of us does.

I know that you never
stopped loving Peter.

That's why you kept him in the
building, kept him close to you.

That's... that's
why you told Matt

about your feelings for him.

AMANDA: I have

only loved you, I have
only made love to you.

Peter said there's
got to be some kind

of medical explanation for this.

I don't need to hear it.

Look, I'm not gonna
go on a bender,

I'm not gonna mess
up my life again,

but I am moving out.

Kyle.

And moving on.

That's all I had to say.

Take care of yourself.

(door closes)

(sighs)

LEXI: Hey there.

Ryan's not home.

Actually, I was looking for you.

Listen, I-I heard about
all the unpleasantness,

and, um, I'm really sorry about

somebody's baby.

Good-bye.

(Kyle sighs)

Listen, I'm worried about Ryan.

Bet he's not

- worried about you.
- LEXI: You know, I think

it's a really good sign that
you've kept your sense of humor,

under the circumstances.

Well, you probably already know,

it's wedding bells
for Ryan and Megan.

I wonder if he knows that.

LEXI: Well, frankly,
I think it scares him.

I mean, considering his
history of defective relationships.

Oh, like brother,
like brother, huh?

Look, I wouldn't dream of
prying into your sordid past,

but just how many broken
relationships has Ryan had?

And I already know about the
two business women in New York.

Well, actually, it was three.

And I only know because
my mother was so upset

when the weddings got canceled.

I mean, she always wanted
Ryan to marry a president.

President?

President of what? Corporations?

President of the United States.

So, you're talking about
three broken engagements

to corporate presidents?

KYLE: I am

through with this
conversation and you, Lexi.

(Lexi laughs)

Wait a minute. I
can take a hint.

And, um, just for the record,

I think you're better
off without Amanda.

Just for the record, I don't
really care what you think.

- Good-bye.
- (Lexi scoffs)

(sighs)

PETER: Did we ever

find Kyle McBride's
fertility test results?

I don't think we ever got a
copy from the V.A. Hospital.

Get on the phone,
call the V.A. lab,

and have them fax us a copy now.

Yes, Doctor.

Dr. Burns.

Oh, Mr. Madigan,
what can I do for you?

Eve canceled
another appointment.

Where is she?

Let's talk in my office.

I don't know where she is.

She didn't come home last night.

Then we have a serious problem.

Eve's missed her
last two appointments,

and getting busted
at that club last week

certainly didn't
score her any points.

Well, we... we
had another fight.

We've had a lot
of fights lately,

and-and she was pretty upset.

That's not an excuse, Doctor.

You'd better find her,

or I'm gonna put out a
warrant for her arrest.

JACKIE: Sure beats that crap

they served us in the cage.

Never knew you were
such a good cook.

(Jackie laughs)

Yeah, well, I've had a
lot of practical experience.

Before I started
stealing, I was working.

Youngest short-order cook
in Berkeley... years old.

Anything to keep you away
from your stepfather, right?

(Jackie laughs)

Hey, enough with the
trips down memory lane.

Okay? I might get teary.

- So, what are we gonna do about you?
- Well, one thing I know

for sure... I'm not
going back to Peter.

JACKIE: Yeah, I don't get it.

In your letters, you made him
seem like he was this great guy.

EVE: He was.

I just didn't count

on him getting involved
with Amanda again.

JACKIE: Amanda?

I remember when she
used to visit you at the prison.

I told you then that
she was bad news.

A chick who looks
like that always is.

Listen, you can stay
here as long as you want,

but you know what'll
happen if the heat finds out.

They won't.

Oh, who knows?

Maybe you and your old
man will work things out.

No.

No, I can't trust him.

After what I did, I
doubt he can trust me.

You know, Jackie,
we used to talk about

cruising around the world,
finding an island somewhere.

JACKIE: Cool your jets,

girlfriend.

We're on parole. We're
not going anywhere.

I blew off my P.O.

You could do the same.

They will never find us.

Come on. Come
on, Jackie, please.

I have some money.

I'll take care of everything.

We could leave tomorrow.

Look, I got to
think about it, okay?

I mean, I got a job,

plans.

I'm looking to do
things right for once.

We'll do it together.

We already know that
we make great roommates,

except this time, we
won't be locked up.

This time, we'll be free.

Guess who wants
to hire my agency

to represent her corporation?

I don't know, and I don't care.

Well, what if I told you
she lived in New York,

and she's your ex-fiancée?

What?

I know. You could've knocked
me over with a feather, too.

I didn't know you
were engaged before.

How did my personal life come
up during your business call?

Wait a minute. You
didn't say anything

to Megan about this, did you?

No. Why? Is it a secret?

No.

I'm just waiting for the
right time to tell her is all.

Ryan, it's no big deal.

I mean, she was married
before, you were engaged before.

Tit for tat.

Actually, I've been
engaged more than once.

Twice. Big deal.

Oh, you devil.

More than twice?

You swear you won't
say anything to Megan?

LEXI: Ryan, please.

I've learned my lesson

with this whole
Amanda-Peter-Kyle hotel thing.

Look, I just need to know
if it's gonna be a problem

if I take on your
ex as a client.

Which ex?

Why don't you tell me?

Come on, they all
couldn't be from New York,

working for big
corporations, no?

Robyn Marlowe, right?

I mean, she worked
for a big CPA firm.

Robyn. Nope. Sorry.

Guess again.

Well, then it was Gail Lenvin.

She was always looking
to get her name in print.

Nope. Sorry.

Jennifer Helms? That's...

I would have figured
she was married

and out of real estate by now.

Poor Jennifer.

I guess you really
broke her heart.

Lucky for me, you didn't
break her bank account, right?

Listen, I got to
get going, okay?

I think I'm just
gonna call Jennifer

and tell her that, um, I pass.

I don't want to make
anything more complicated

for you or Megan. (laughs)

Thanks. I really
appreciate that.

- (door opens)
- LEXI: And, uh,

I really appreciate
your honesty. See you.

JANE: Now, what are we

looking for, exactly?

I don't... Something that
may tell us where Eve is.

I think this is a waste of time.

You're probably right.
Why doesn't she just call?

- (knocking)
- What?

Oh, maybe that's her?

Sorry to bother you, Dr. Burns,

but Amy thought this
might be important.

Oh, well, thank you.

(Jane sighs)

MICHAEL: What is it?

I don't know. There's
no return address on it.

- You think it's from her?
- Well, let's find out, huh?

Yeah.

Oh, boy.

(Audrey giggling)

- That's not Eve.
- MICHAEL: Oh, my...

No, it sure isn't.

- Um.
- Yo-You videotaped

yourself cheating on
me with Audrey Williams?

- I...
- You swore you never touched that woman.

- Well, I didn't enjoy it, Jane.
- Oh,

and that makes it okay?
How could you do this, Michael,

- again and again and again?
- Peter,

- could you turn that off?
- God, you're a pig.

You always were
and you always will be,

and I am through rolling around

- in the mud with you.
- Jane, please,

- I can explain...
- There's nothing to explain.

I want a divorce.

Please, Jane.

Wait, I can explain this.

And I want

the two million dollar
check back to the hospital.

I can't believe you played
me for a fool, Michael.

Peter, I may have played
you, but I never thought

- you were a fool.
- I want you out of the partnership,

out of the hospital, and
out of this apartment.

No, no, don't do
anything you might regret.

Just get out of here!

(sighs)

(laughter)

I got us a couple maps,

laid out our whole trip.

First stop, Ensenada, Mexico.

Come look.

(laughs)

It's kind of like that time we
planned the great escape.

Yeah.

If we only had bigger spoons.

Okay, if we leave by tomorrow,

we can be in Acapulco
by the end of the week.

And then from there,

Central America.

They got a lot of islands.

What's wrong?

Nothing.

It's, uh, just that, um

Peter was gonna take me

to Acapulco for my birthday.

Only place a guy ever
offered to take me was to bed.

(laughs)

Look, Eve, you don't have
to do this if you don't want.

You're the one who
talked me into it.

I mean, I'll
completely understand

if you want to back out.

No, no,

there's nothing keeping
me here, certainly not Peter.

Hey, I fell in love and
I can fall out of love.

Um, you know what?

I, um,

I think I'm gonna turn in.

We got a big day tomorrow.

Okay.

Night.

Good night.

Dr. Burns?

Yeah, can I help you?

I'm a friend of Eve's.

Where is she?

You still love her?

If you're a friend of Eve's,
you tell her to get in touch

with me as soon as she can.

She missed a very
important appointment.

Her parole officer, right?

Who are you and
how do you know Eve?

We roomed
together for six years.

And now she's
rooming with me again.

I didn't think ex-cons were
supposed to hang out together.

Her parole officer wants
to send her back down.

If he finds out...

What is this,
concern or jealousy?

She's my wife and I love her,

and I care what happens to her.

We're taking a
long trip to Mexico.

Mexico?

What's to keep her here?

Me.

I got a boat.

Slip ,

San Pedro Docks.

You don't got much time.

Don't hurt her again, Doc.

(car door opens)

And you best be sure I'll be
there to pick up the pieces.

(car starting)

LEXI: Listen, ladies,

thank you so much for
meeting me on such short notice.

Well, I never turn down
a free meal at The Plaza.

(laughter)

And I have to say, I
was intrigued by your call.

So who is this
mutual acquaintance

that gave you our names?

And why couldn't you tell us

over the phone?

Why come all the
way to New York?

Well, I thought
that this meeting

should take place face to face.

Anybody who has not had

a relationship with Ryan
McBride, please push your chair

away from the table.

- (laughter)
- You're kidding?

- All of us dated Ryan?
- Actually,

I was engaged to him.

So was I.

Me, too.

And my best friend, Megan,

is his current conquest.

- Small world, isn't it?
- I'll say.

So, what's the deal here?

What do you want from us?

Well, I want some advice.

You see, I don't
want Megan to end up

another one of his ex-fiancées.

You're some friend
to travel , miles,

just to find out
the dirt on Ryan.

Yeah, well, I guess
that's a testament

to my deep feelings
for Ryan and Megan.

Well, whatever
you do, tell Megan

to enjoy this
relationship while it lasts.

Amen to that.

All right, ladies,
you've lost me.

Want some more wine?

When I proposed to Ryan,

all of a sudden, he
had to leave town.

He did the same thing
after I proposed to him.

Couldn't even tell me
where he was going.

Ditto. We got engaged

and three days
later, he calls it off.

Two of the three days,
Ryan was out of town.

The bastard. Where was he?

He told me it was some
kind of business trip,

but I didn't buy that.

Such a shame.

Ryan's a great catch.

And a hell of a lover, too.

(laughter)

Yeah, I'll second that.

Well, I mean, fourth
that. For Megan.

At least, that's
what she told me.

So, Lexi,

hopefully he hasn't

proposed to your friend yet.

No, not yet.

Lucky friend.

Because getting
engaged to Ryan McBride

is the kiss of death.

Mm-hmm.

(laughter)

Enjoy.

Eve.

How did you find me?

A friend.

Damn her, Jackie.

What do you want?

I want you to come home.

Why? Did Amanda
dump you already?

Hate to tell you this,
but I'm really tired

- of coming in second place.
- I married you,

not Amanda.

That's why they
call it an affair.

I didn't sleep with Amanda.

I'm not interested in
sleeping with Amanda.

Then how come she was
pregnant with your child?

I never lied to you,

I never cheated on you,

I've never been in a
hotel room with Amanda.

I'm not the father.

I need you.

I want you to come home.

Well, I don't need you.

And right now,

I'm having a really
hard time trying

to remember how I
could have ever loved you

in the first place.

Well, I love you very much.

There's nothing else I can say.

Peter!

Peter, I'm sorry for
everything I said.

I love you, too.

Mind if I come in?

I suppose we have
to talk sooner or later.

Peter says you're gonna be fine.

I'm not fine.

My baby's dead.

Do you have any
idea how that hurts?

You chose to believe
the worst in me,

not to mention your husband.

And then you run off to Kyle

and lay your crazy
suspicions on him

while he's detoxing in rehab.

You had to know
how he would react.

I honestly didn't
think about it.

It was, it was like a reflex,

like back in high school.

We were always
competing for the same guy.

You always won, Amanda.

I was afraid you
were gonna win again.

I was afraid that Peter was
gonna choose you over me.

I always put our
friendship first.

If you don't know that by
now, I feel sorry for you.

Now, if you don't mind,

I'm tired.

(door opens, closes)

Dr. Burns, you
mind if I get going?

I'm late for class.

Did the V.A. lab ever call back?

No, and when I call
them, all I get is a machine.

All right, I'll give them a try.

You have a nice evening.

You have reached the
Veterans Administration Hospital.

Our office hours are
: a.m. to : p.m.

Unless you have a check
for me, I don't want to see you.

Peter, I will not be ignored.

We need to talk about what
you saw on that videotape.

What I saw on the
videotape disgusted me.

Okay, good, now we're talking.

Now, what exactly disgusted you?

Can you be more specific?

You scammed two million
dollars from Wilshire Memorial.

I did not want to
sleep with Audrey.

I had to in order to
get her to cooperate.

You see, it turned
out that $ ,

from that settlement
wasn't enough for her.

- What?
- Yeah, some people are so damn greedy.

You see, but I wouldn't
have scammed the hospital

in the first place, but I lost
grand that I borrowed

from the children's
foundation to a swindler.

I can't believe I'm
having this conversation.

You stole from the
children's foundation!

Weren't you listening
to me? I said "borrowed."

I don't see semantics

as a defense to embezzlement!

Peter, it doesn't matter, okay?

'Cause I'm gonna
pay back every cent,

with interest. I'm gonna work

- around the clock.
- One call, Michael,

just one call to
that hospital board,

and you'll be working in the
prison infirmary, you know that.

Please, Peter, you
can't tell anybody.

I'll lose my license.

Come on, now, have a heart.

I have a heart, Michael,
and you always seem

to find a way to
weasel into it, don't you?

Which means...?

Pay back the settlement fund

and reimburse the children's
foundation, with interest.

And I'll get to keep my job?

You can keep your job.

Oh-ho, Peter!

Thanks so much! I'll
never forget this, really!

Michael! Be smart, just go.

Just going.

- Go.
- Thank you.

(whispers): Thank you so much.

Eve. What are you doing?

I thought you split town.

Well, I was on my way, but, uh,

well, Peter and I,
we worked things out.

He cheated on you once;
he's gonna do it again.

Peter and Amanda
did not sleep together.

This guy is good.

Did-did he brainwash
you, or are you just stupid?

Well, maybe I am for thinking
my best friend and my husband

would betray
me... I guess I just

lost it for a couple
of days, that's all.

- Hey, Kyle, wait.
- No, you know what?

You believe what you
want; I got my own beliefs.

That's why I'm
going back to Boston.

This place has a way
of changing people,

and I don't like the
man that I've become.

You love Amanda, I know you do.

If I were you, I'd
get out of here, too,

before it kills you or lands
you right back in prison.

(long sigh)

I...

I know it's not
visiting hours, but...

- I had to see you.
- Well, I'm glad you're here.

Um, it's the deed to the club,

and the keys... it's yours now.

I'm leaving on the
red-eye for Boston.

You can't do this. I mean,
hitting me when I'm down?

At least let me
get out of this place

so we could discuss
what happened.

Nothing to discuss.

Well, how about our marriage?

You can file for divorce.

I'll sign anything
you want me to.

Is it that easy for
you to walk away?

No, nothing about this
relationship has been easy.

That's why I'm getting
out of Los Angeles.

I got to start over.

Fine, start over.

But do it after you
take the DNA test.

'Cause I'm not gonna
have you walking out on me

thinking that I betrayed you.

If you ever loved
me, you'd do this.

My love for you isn't
the problem here.

The problem is,
you still love Peter.

(sighs)

Boy, is it good to see you.

It's been crazy around here.

Every time I blink,
somebody wants something.

- I don't know how you do it.
- Yeah, well, that's why

- I'm the boss and you're not.
- Oh, well,

thanks for clearing that
up. So, how was New York?

It was very productive.

Yeah. I had a fabulous
lunch at the Plaza.

- Great!
- Mm-hmm.

So, listen, there's
about a million things

- that need your attention, okay?
- You know what, Megan?

Why don't you and I just

forget about work
for a little while

and you and I have a
little heart-to-heart, okay?

- Okay.
- Yeah.

Well, I had a lot of time to
do some thinking on the plane,

and I started thinking about
how wonderful it would be

to come home to someone,
a boyfriend, a... husband,

somebody who was
waiting right there at the gate

with open arms to sweep me up

and tell me how much
they miss me, you know?

You were drinking on
the plane, weren't you?

No, I wasn't.

And I came home to
a geriatric limo driver

with a huge sign that
said: "Miss Lexi Sterling,"

emphasis on the "Miss."

Megan, honey, do you know
how lucky you are to have Ryan?

- Yes.
- Then take it

from a lonely woman
and get him to commit.

Get a ring on your finger,
get him to marry you.

Ryan and I are fine
with the way things are.

Yeah, that's what I
thought with me and Peter,

but here today,
gone the next hour.

Trust me, without
a ring on that finger,

- there's no guarantee he's gonna stay.
- Ryan is not Peter

and I am not you.

Men will be men.

I'm just saying,
think about it, okay?

I'm only saying this,
Megan, because I really care.

- Right, right.
- Mm-hmm.

New Century Brides?

Yeah, it's a new catalogue.

I thought you'd enjoy
handling that account.

I mean, you're not a bride
yet, but, uh, you soon will be.

Hey, you're not
authorized to be in here.

I'm Dr. Peter Burns... Does
that sound familiar at all?

I called here about times.

You guys ever
return phone calls?

Oh, yeah, yeah, we
got your messages.

I thought somebody
got back to you.

Well, they didn't.

The patient's name
is Kyle McBride.

I want to see his
test results right now.

Okay.

I think we were gonna
messenger them over to you today.

Ah. There you are right there.

"It appears the
V.A. lab has erred

regarding your test results"?

Hey, we've been
real busy lately.

"One of our
technicians informed you

"that you had a
sperm count of zero.

In fact, your sperm count is
in the normal to high range."

I don't believe this!

"We regret any inconvenience
this error may have caused"?

- Inconvenience!
- Hey, man, it wasn't my fault.

Do you realize
that this cost a life?

(heavy sigh)

Well, I never thought
that I'd be the one staying

and you'd be going
back to Boston.

Yeah. Me, either.

These last couple
of months, though, I...

Oh, man, I just wish I
could turn back the clock.

Yeah. Almost feel bad
things are going so well for me.

You and Megan?

Yeah.

I know you're looking to
put together a restaurant,

or a bar or
something... If you, uh...

if you want me to run
some numbers or help you

- with a deal, I'm there.
- Appreciate it.

Yeah.

Just so you know, I'm
gonna give my notice

to Amanda when she
gets out of the hospital.

- I'm gonna start looking for a new job.
- No, you know what?

I don't want you to do
that, not on my account.

I just, I can't work
for Amanda anymore.

You know, the plane's
gonna be boarding pretty soon.

- You don't have to stay.
- Dude, I want to see you off.

I'm gonna miss you, Kyle.

I'm gonna miss you, too.

Hey.

- Amanda.
- Where have you been?

I had emergency
surgery. Read this.

- What is it?
- It's Kyle's test results.

One of the lab techs screwed up.

He's not sterile.

It was his baby.

This is like a bad joke.

I lost everything because
of a clerical error?

You got to get this to
him as soon as you can.

Well, it's too late... He's
on the red-eye to Boston.

Boston?

Red-eyes leave around
: , don't they?

Oh, Peter, I don't even
know what airline he's on,

and I can't get to the
airport in minutes.

This is where being chief
of staff may finally pay off.

Kyle's on Midway flight .

The pilot knows
where to take you!

Don't forget to
give this to him!

Everything's gonna
be fine! Good luck!

Go!

Jane, before you
tell me to get out,

I want you to know that
Peter has forgiven me

for this whole
Audrey Williams scam.

Oh, you can call
it a scam, Michael,

but I call it infidelity.
Now, get out!

No, no, infidelity
would be a misnomer.

You see, when I
started this whole thing,

it was a plan for
us to get rich quick

so that you and I could
enjoy financial independence.

Well, you sure got
your independence.

Are you listening to
me? Audrey was merely

a platonic partner
with a % cut!

I mean, could I help it that
she started falling for me?

If you tell me one
more time, Michael,

that the woman has a screw
loose, I'm gonna k*ll you.

She does! Look,

she blackmailed me
into having sex with her

so that she could videotape us.

Well, at least you have a
memento of your sordid affair.

Jane, you're not
getting what I'm saying.

I was cheating on the
hospital, not cheating on you.

- (laughs): Oh!
- Aw, come on, honey,

I'll do anything.

I'll go see a
marriage counselor.

I'll-I'll go to Compulsive
Sex Anonymous.

And I'll give you your space

until I'm healed. If you want,

I'll even move
out of the building.

Oh, don't bother.
I'm moving out.

I bought our old beach house.

My father lent me the money.

He wouldn't lend me a dime

- when I needed it.
- Oh, really? Well, I just told him

I needed it to get away from
you, he wired it the next day.

Jane, please...

You know what, Michael?

We've said good-bye
so many times,

but so there's no confusion,
this is the final good-bye.

Have a rotten life.

What-what-what

(panting): You're not sterile.

It was all a mistake.

The lab screwed up.

What?

It was our baby?

- I k*lled our baby?
- No.

No, our baby d*ed because...

because we couldn't

Don't get on that plane.
