12x02 - Blind Side

[bunniefuu]

[narrator] Previously on Knots Landing...

"Judge not, lest ye be judged." Isn't that how it goes?

[Danny] If you just examine your conscience, Gary--

You can be a single free man...

or you can be a married convict.

This kind of news is bad for business.

Let's keep it under our hats, eh?

[instrumental music]

Sis.

Greg?

The vultures are circling.

I've never talked to you about men, have I?

Women are women.

And men are jerks.

I've got to go. I'll be late.

Got to pick Jeff up.

And if the affiliates meeting goes well,

I'll be back tonight.

[Mack] Take it easy, superstar.

[loud expl*si*n and glass breaking]

[theme music plays]

[Mack] Karen.

-Are you okay? -Yeah.

What happened?

They think it was a gas expl*si*n.

Jeff's dead.

[suspenseful music]

Is this the daughter who died?

Yes. Uh, Mr. Sumner will be right out.

Uh, would you like some coffee?

Yes, thank you.

-Carlos. -Yes.

Did you meet my big sister, Claudia?

[Carlos] Oh, yes.

[Greg] Did you have a big sister?

-Unfortunately, no. -That's too bad.

I don't think I'd be where I am today if it wasn't for Sis.

She toughened me up.

When I was a kid, I injured my leg.

Had to have them in a brace.

She locked the brace. I couldn't walk.

We were just kids then.

And I do feel terrible about that.

Tip of the iceberg, Carlos. Tip of the iceberg.

I'll get the coffee.

You know, it scares me when I look around

and realize I hardly have any relatives left.

Mom and dad are gone.

And I was planning on divorcing Jim.

But he died before I could file the papers.

Took the easy way out, did he?

And he let the life insurance lapse.

Don't tell me you had to get a job.

I had a job.

I'm a professor of physical anthropology.

Ah, measuring skulls and bones.

It sounds like you.

[sighs]

You know, little Greggy

I know what a jerk you are.

But my daughter doesn't.

She has to get together with you.

You are her only uncle.

Now, I never told her how I feel about you

or how you feel about me.

I only said that you were a very busy man.

It was hard to find the time.

She can't be very bright if she bought that.

We're only going to be here for a few weeks.

Kate has a chance at a tennis scholarship

at UC Southbridge.

So...

Would it be too much to ask you to have lunch with us?

Promise not to order for me or eat off my plate.

I love tennis.

But my mom says I have to get my education

before I join the tour.

But you can always get an education.

How much money can you make on the tour?

[Claudia] Greg.

Well, um, UC Southbridge is actually my second choice.

I'm waiting to hear from Green State, Massachusetts

because they have the best tennis program in the country

and I'm up for a full scholarship, so.

How old are you?

I'm 20. How old was your daughter?

Waiter, can you bring us the check, please?

It's great to finally meet you.

My mom has told me a lot about you.

She said we met when I was young

but I, uh, I really don't remember.

She looks a lot like mother, don't you think?

Oh, I'll get that.

-[Greg] No, I got it. -But we asked you.

-Yeah, and I got a lot of dough. -Well, thank you.

Thank you.

Hi.

I just came by to give the kids some toys.

-They're not here. -Oh.

I guess it's just as well.

I wouldn't want to give them anything Val hasn't approved.

I know how strict she could be with the toys the kids get.

Well, I mean, Betsy needs a new soccer ball

and Bobby doesn't need a new bat.

We don't want your toys.

Wait, wait a minute.

Let's let Val decide that, okay?

When she come back?

She won't be back. She's moved.

[shouting] Hey.

Hey.

[Mr. Brewer] You've got two miles of river frontage

on the bosky

and a small spring-fed creek

running through the back of the property.

[Val] Oh, I forgot how beautiful Texas is.

[Bobby] Are there any snakes here?

-A few. -You be careful, you guys.

You don't have to be scared of snakes.

I'm not afraid. I want to catch one.

There are pecan trees down by the river.

About 75 of them are from soft shells.

It's just great.

Can I raise goats?

[hesitates] We will talk about goats later.

Gary.

I just love it.

-[Gary laughs] -I do.

Honey, you're supposed to criticize the property.

So, Mr. Brewer, get the owner to bring the price down.

[Val laughs]

The owner won't budget on the price

and she won't carry any paper on it either.

Ah, well.

I don't think cash would be a problem.

Yeah, I got a message in front of me here

that Mister Ewing wants to cancel his order for feed.

This has been a standing order for months

and, well, I heard Mr. Ewing was moving.

I don't know if I'm going to cancel his account.

I don't know.

He went looking for property in Texas

but I haven't heard anything

about him canceling accounts here.

He's due back tomorrow. I'll have him call you.

No, that's all right. Thanks.

I'll try back again later. Thanks.

[suspenseful music]

[knocking on door]

I'm sorry about the wedding. Is there anything I can do?

No, thanks.

You're probably embarrassed, but you really shouldn't be.

I mean, it's nobody's business but your own

and whatever happened is between you

and whomever it happened with.

Have you heard from Tom yet?

I mean, has he given you an excuse or anything?

What a bummer.

He maybe sent you a letter.

If it's too painful, I can screen your mail for you.

[knocking on door]

I just want you to know.

-I'm here for you. -Here for me?

Where's here for me?

Does that mean you want to help me in my time of need?

What does that mean? Do you want to roll in the hay?

No wonder he left her at the altar.

[knocking on door]

[Paige] I've provided enough amusement

for the office staff today.

I don't intend to provide any more for you.

I'd like you to meet my niece.

This is Kate.

-Hi. -Hi.

And my sister Claudia Whittaker.

-How do you do? -[Claudia] Hello.

Listen, I'm kind of busy

so could you give them the $0.50 tour of the castle?

-Sure. -See you.

Well, let me show you around.

Great.

Well, this is the Sumner Group headquarters.

We're actually a holding company with subsidiaries in New York.

I'm so sorry, you must feel awful.

With subsidiaries in--

He didn't deserve you.

Would you excuse me? I need to get a phone number.

You look pretty young to be working here.

I don't feel very young.

Excuse me, could you give me

the name and number of my brother's doctor?

I feel a cold coming on.

There's so much pneumonia going around

and we're doing an awful lot of traveling.

This is just in case I need it.

Sure.

It's Doctor Mike Herrera



Thank you.

You know, you look so much like Craig's daughter.

-Really? -Yeah.

That's funny. My mom tells me I look a lot like my grandmother.

Well, let's see the rest

of this industrial complex, shall we?

My brother isn't one of those investors

who over leverages himself, is he?

What do you mean the funds haven't been transferred?

I sent you Paige's wedding certificate.

[man 1] But we have to get the registration

from City Hall.

City Hall?

Paige didn't go to City Hall.

What am I supposed to do?

Call her up on her honeymoon

and say hurry home sweetie

because you forgot to register at the courthouse?

[man 1] The clergyman notified them.

I'm sure it's being processed now.

Well, my daughter has bills in the meantime.

I mean, she does pay rent and she has utility costs.

[man 1] Anne you're being irrational.

If she's strapped for funds

loan her some of your money till hers comes through

Right.

[sighs]

[suspenseful music]

I don't know why chafing dishes are such the rage

but I got three just alike at my shower.

I can give you a store credit.

Would it be possible to get a cash refund?

You can wait for Greg in here.

-Thanks. -Thank you.

-Bye -Bye, bye.

She was really nice.

She has such an advanced position for her age

[laughs] Mom.

You are much too naive.

Mom.

[eerie music]

Get out of that chair.

[eerie music]

-Sorry. -She wasn't doing anything.

It's my chair.

[music continues]

It's amazing how much she looks like your daughter.

No kidding.

Somebody leaked my medical records

and the vultures are circling.

My body isn't even decaying yet.

You are dying.

And I don't plan on spending the rest of my days

with an imitation of a daughter.

I'm going to join her soon enough anyway.

Greg.

Why don't you and I blow this joint?

We'll take a cruise.

We don't have to have adjoining suites.

You can have the upper deck.

I'll take the lower deck, just for laughs.

If I have to spend the rest of my time with someone

I might as well spend it with you.

I like you.

Think about it.

Tell my guests I had an emergency.

Give them a ball cap and a T-shirt

and send them down the road, will you?

[eerie music]

Hey, why don't you get someone else to do the show, huh?

You know, like one of those replacements.

[Karen sighs]

I feel responsible to Jeff.

Come on, they can do this show without you.

You don't have to carry the whole show.

-I know. -You're depressed.

You need a break.

I have a right to be depressed after all this...

death around.

Now Greg.

[doorbell rings]

And Val's moving away.

Who am I going to talk to when she's gone?

Hello. You must be Missus MacKenzie.

-I'm Claudia -Claudia Sumner.

-Mack. -[Mack laughs]

-Hello, it's good to see you. -[Mack] Look at you.

Wow, you look the same.

You never used to lie.

And it's Claudia Whittaker now.

This is Greg's sister.

Well, I didn't know Greg had a sister.

[Mack] Come on. I told you all about her.

The smart one. Straight A's.

-The valedictorian. -Class nerd.

-[laughs] It's my wife Karen. -Hello.

What brings you to town?

Checking out schools for my daughter.

-Oh, come on in. -Well, thank you.

Why wasn't she at Mary France's funeral?

She hasn't spoken to her brother in years.

Her niece died.

He probably didn't even tell her about it.

But why did they stop speaking

to each other in the first place?

I try to speak to Greg Sumner the little possible myself.

[sighs]

Do you think is true that Greg is dying?

Who knows?

I think it's awful if someone leaked

his medical records.

I wonder how much time he has left.

I'm hungry.

What a beautiful. Child. Whoops.

And what gorgeous hair you have.

Hey, this is Claudia. This is Meg.

-Hi. -Hi Meg.

Where does the red hair come from?

I guess it skipped a generation.

Well that's an old wives tale.

It's from a recessive gene.

You have to have a gene from both parents

in order to have red hair.

-Oh, I didn't know that. -I didn't know that.

Why do I have red hair?

[Mack laughs]

Because you're lucky, that's why.

Didn't I see a picture of your child at Greg's?

Is he the godfather or something?

No.

He has a daughter.

What'd you say?

I said where is my daughter?

Well, I didn't hear from Green University.

I am sure that they'll notify us soon.

But what if the letter gets lost?

Then we will just have to call the school.

I just can't wait to find out if I got the scholarship,

Oh, sweetheart.

I wish I had the money for that tuition.

Mom, I'll get the scholarship.

I will.

I can understand a brother and a sister being mad

at each other for a few weeks.

But for a lifetime?

Greg and Claudia are like oil and water.

You know, the snob and the slob, they just don't mix.

But not to speak to each other for all those years.

Hey, they don't get along.

She has to have some feelings for him.

Yeah, guilt.

She probably feels that she pummeled him once too often

when the mother wasn't looking.

[sighs]

-I'm too hard on him. -Greg? No.

Michael.

Can't imagine not speaking to him

for the rest of my life because I don't like his taste in women.

I don't think that'll be a problem.

My mother can take a flying leap for all I care.

I do not want to be the reason

you and your mother aren't speaking to each other.

She's the reason.

She's not going to run my life.

I don't want to run his life. I'm just...

Concerned about him.

[Linda] She's concerned about you.

From her point of view, it makes sense really.

Why are you defending her?

Well, I feel bad that she feels so bad.

I hope she calls you or something really soon.

It's too late to call him, isn't it?

I call him in the morning.

If I see her, I see her.

I'm sure she wants to see you.

I can't imagine why.

[Karen] With all that's happened.

What do I care who Michael's dating?

He's healthy, he's happy, he's here.

I don't care if he's dating Lucretia Borgia.

Yes, dining room patient, Borough.

I'm the one she's never going to accept.

I'm going to invite Michael and Linda to dinner

together to prove that...

I can accept them as...

she's never going to accept us as...

An item.

A couple.

We're a couple now. Period.

Fine. They're an item.

My mother even thinks of excluding you.

I think I'll see Michael alone first.

For any reason.

[Karen] To apologize.

To make it clear that it's okay with me that...

That he and Linda are...

You know.

She'll be very sorry.

I'll invite Michael over without Linda first.

Very sorry.

I feel good about this.

Thanks.

You're right, honey.

It's much smarter to do this now.

Oh, wait a second. I left the dresser set in the bathroom.

-Hi! -Hi, how was your trip?

Oh, wonderful.

Oh, wonderful weekend.

-Hi, Frank. -Hi, Gary.

What's going on over at Frank's?

Gary said we could go and raise snakes.

-Snakes? -[Gary] Yeah, it's easy.

Just feed them field mice.

Oh, no, you feed them field mice.

You know, when you move to those boondocks,

I'm going to be on the first plane to Manhattan.

-I was born... -Are you doing spring cleaning?

Yeah, Julie wanted to get rid of some stuff.

Can't believe you're giving all this away, sweetie.

This is beautiful.

Yeah, well, we've had it for a long time.

Oh, I love them.

Frank.

-Were those Pat's? -Yeah.

You're not giving all her things away, are you?

Julie doesn't want anything around

that's going to remind her of her mother.

What about you?

Right now, my responsibility is with Julie.

If she wants to do something, I'm going to do it.

Plus, I don't need material things

to remind me of my wife.

Listen, darlings why don't you take your raccoons in the house?

Danny showed up with some ridiculous excuse

about Betsy needing a new soccer ball.

I told him that you and Val had just gone for good.

Good.

-[knocking on door] -Come in.

Thank you.

It was so kind of you to see me, Doctor.

Mrs. Whitaker, please sit down.

I'm so worried about my brother.

Well, Greg is such a stoic.

He won't even tell me how I'll he really is.

I can't discuss a patient's treatment.

Oh, of course not. That's not what I meant.

It's just that I'm considering taking him on a cruise.

We'll just get him away from all the pressure in the office.

It's going to be about a six month trip

and to be honest...

I don't know if he has six months

I don't want my brother stranded in the middle of the ocean.

If he is needing emergency care.

It's impossible to tell.

Some people, you think will live five years

and they just give up and go in six months.

Other terminal patients triple the time their doctor predicts.

You and I both know that Greg is a fighter.

Even in ideal circumstances

and a crew certainly is ideal.

I can't imagine your brother surviving another six months.

[doleful music]

So what have you found out about Tom Ryan.

What makes you think I'm trying to find out anything?

Because Paige asked you to.

Because you're as curious as the rest of us, and

because you know he wouldn't have stood her up

without a damn good reason.

I don't think the guy deserves to be found.

Mack.

My father kept us apart.

We should have been married.

I don't want Paige to go through the same kind of agony I did.

Okay.

I've been looking

-And? -He's covered his tracks.

But he's alive.

I got a lead on a phone call he made.

-From where? -I don't know.

Some island in Micronesia

I called the police to find out

if the charges against him were dropped.

What island in Micronesia?

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

For your information, your daughter is considering

going on an ocean voyage with Greg Sumner.

Do you have any idea what kind of mischief

a gently rocking cruise ship can stimulate?

Anne.

You better find Tom. Fast.

[phone ringing]

[phone ringing]

How long?

[Paige] So shall I bring tropical clothes

or woolens?

I mean, there are cruises going everywhere

and you haven't told me where we're going.

Well, that's why I ruled out those Nordic countries.

I love seeing you in that skimpy stuff.

I thought we were going to have separate rooms.

I can still look, can I?

-When are we going? -Tomorrow.

Well, I'm not making any promises about anything.

Me either.

[eerie music]

Let me guess who you were talking to.

I read you're sick.

Yeah, I got a touch of the sniffles.

You know, it upset me to hear you were dying.

[laughs] I bet you did. But the paper's got it all wrong.

It upset me.

Because I realized that you might not get

those charges against me dropped before you kick the bucket.

You know, it's great. There's so many people

who are concerned about my health.

So I called the station

and I found out that you haven't cleared me yet.

It slipped my mind.

You never intended to turn that evidence.

You never intended to do anything.

Oh ye of little faith.

I want those charges dropped.

I want them dropped now.

If they're not, you're going to die of unnatural causes.

I get to it right away.

Yeah, you will.

Don't move.

I have to call Carlos.

Now, you don't want him to come walking in here

and see you pointing your weapon at me, do you?

You're tough guy routine is counterproductive.

I am not nervous when I hold this g*n.

I am happy. It calms me.

You're starting to sound like a gangster and AB flick.

Next thing you're going to do is sh**t the pillow

to scare me, right?

Don't be surprised if you don't see feathers.

It's foam rubber.

Come on.

Relax and make yourself comfortable.

I don't have Carlos come and take care of this felony.

Carlos.

-Carlos. - [Carlos] Yes.

Come up here, will you? I need you to run an errand for me.

Yes, Sir. I'll be right in.

Would you like a drink while you're waiting?

Oh, do you have to take that little black skirt?

I just love it.

You have to stop wearing my clothes.

You never care for the dry cleaning.

I work hard to pay for all these and you always ruin them.

Here's a 50.

-Will that do? -Better than nothing.

I thought you turned me down out of politeness.

You are the cheapest rich person I've ever known.

I mean, you never pick up a check.

You eat all the food out of my refrigerator.

You go running back to the store

if you forget to cash in those cents off coupons.

I mean, what are you going to do with all your money?

Bronze it?

You are very young, Paige.

Someday you'll get cellulite

and you'll recognize the value of a dollar.

And you'll get wise about men.

What does cellulite and men have to do with this?

You're the one going off with Greg

without getting a wedding ring.

You'll figure it out.

I am not interested in Greg's money.

Money is not important to me.

Only someone who has it can say it.

I am not rich.

People who don't have money have to worry about food

transportation, clothing, shelter, healthcare.

You never had to worry about any of that.

Neither of you.

I sheltered you from a lot when you were a child, Paige.

Your stepfather robbed me blind.

I had to borrow to keep you in schools.

All you had to do was call grandfather.

Grandfather wouldn't give me the time of day.

But you had plenty of rich boyfriends to foot the bills.

That's true.

And I felt like a tr*mp.

-Excuse me? -Well, that's true.

[laughs]

Well, it's sort of true.

Were you broke until Grandfather died?

Mhm.

How much did he leave you?

Enough.

You really have to take that skirt?

Yes.

You're gonna break your father's heart

if you go on this cruise.

I am not.

Mack hates Greg.

Mack hates all my boyfriends.

[Anne laughs]

I told you, he is your boyfriend.

It is a romantic cruise.

You are impossible, mother.

Well, I've tried logic.

I mean, it's stupid of you to go on this cruise

without getting a wedding ring first.

I've tried guilt.

Your father could have a heart attack, you know.

And what on earth

do I have to do to convince you

that this little trip is a bad idea?

Paige.

[water dripping]

What does that g*n weigh?

Doesn't your arm get tired holding it up?

Now I see what Paige sees in you.

You're a sparkling conversationalist.

We didn't talk much.

Did you ever play strip croquet together?

You know, I think you're investing too much emotion

in a pair of hips.

Hips...

...do not a marriage make.

Why don't you go to sleep?

I'll wake you when the papers come.

If they don't come

you won't wake up.

Have you ever noticed that she lacks modesty?

It's amazing.

Most people have an innate sense of modesty.

Not Paige.

She doesn't wear underwear.

Shut up.

I guess if I had a body like that

I wouldn't wear underwear either.

[Greg and Tom laugh]

Let me ask you something.

Have you ever considered that when the papers come,

that I might k*ll you anyway?

Just for the fun of it.

[eerie music]

[knocking on door]

[eerie music]

Yo, I have a document for you Sir.

[sighs]

Thank you, Carlos.

Tell the cook I'd like a cheese omelet and some bacon.

Mr. Sumner.

Okay, fruit juice and granola

in the middle of a real long life.

[eerie music]

Charges dropped.

You want me to have Carlos show you at the front door?

You want to climb back out the window?

By the way, threatening a dying man

isn't much of a threat.

[eerie music]

[g*nsh*t]

You bluff too much.

It's going to catch up with you.

[phone ringing]

-Hello. -[Karen] Hello.

Is Michael there?

Who shall I say is calling?

His mother.

Oh, hi Karen.

Michael, it's your mother.

It is so nice to hear from you.

-Try to make up. -Yeah.

-Hello? - Michael.

Michael, I know you're mad at me

but I just want you to hear me out.

Yeah.

I...

I want to talk to you.

I'd like you to come by for dinner.

Linda and me?

Well, um...

I'd-I'd like to see you alone.

Ma-maybe some night when-when Linda has other plans.

No, Linda doesn't make plans that don't include me

and I don't make plans that don't include her.

Michael.

That's exactly what you predicted.

I-I wasn't trying to exclude Linda.

Well, then why didn't you ask her?

-Because-- -Mom, I know exactly

-what you're doing. -No, you don't know

what I'm doing because you haven't given me a chance

-to tell you. -You told me how you feel.

Now, I'm not coming over to the house for another lecture.

I-I wanted--

I wanted to apologize.

Hi.

-Hi. Can I help you? -Yes Sir.

I made a donation yesterday

and somehow my wife's dresser set.

It got mixed in with all the clothes and the other stuff

and I really need to get it back.

It's too bad.

I know it was a mistake, so I'd be glad to pay for it.

I don't remember any dresser set.

Well, it was French ivory, Bakelite, you know.

A-And one of the pieces had a chip in it.

I really don't remember seeing it.

Maybe it went to one of our other stores.

Would you mind checking? It was just picked up yesterday.

Well, I can call a central office

but we have so many stores

I can't imagine I'll find it.

It's real important. It means a lot.

What's Bakelite?

Well, it's fake ivory.

Yellow plastic.

I'm trying to find my wife's dresser set.

It had a mirror, a comb, a brush, and a little box.

I sold that this morning.

[Frank] You did?

Great, to whom did you sell it?

-I'd be glad to buy it back. -I don't know.

It wasn't a regular customer.

Would you mind checking your receipts, please?

Well, she paid cash. I don't have her name.

It was my wife's favorite.

Her aunt gave it to her.

I'm sorry.

There's a lovely gift shop on the corner.

Maybe you could buy your wife a new set.

That way she won't miss the old one so much.

No thanks.

[doleful music]

[knocking on door]

You're too late. She left with Greg on the cruise.

I'm going to have a heart attack.

And I told her that.

Did you find Tom?

No, but something's up.

Internal Affairs cleared him.

-Why? -I don't know.

-Paige. -I'm not interested.

-Let me explain. -No.

-Paige, you got to listen to me. -Look, just leave me alone.

No, stop. Just stop.

-Stop. -What?

Do you want to have a beer and talk over old times?

Do you want to be friends? You left me at the church.

I just put a g*n in Sumner's head to straighten his out.

And I'll do it to you to make you listen.

Oh, big macho stuff, Tom. That really impresses me.

He set me up, Paige. He framed me.

He had cops outside the church waiting to take me to jail.

Now, I'm sorry, babe

but I didn't have a choice in the matter.

Of course you did.

-What? -Could have stood up to him.

You could afford him. I would have.

You're a better person than I am, okay?

That's right, I am.

Oh, great. Thanks for your understanding.

Thanks for the sympathy.

Sympathy?

You didn't even call.

You didn't do anything.

For all I know, you could have been dead.

What do you want from me? What do you want?

Maybe I want the evidence.

Maybe I want to see broken bones

because he dragged you out of the church.

Maybe I want to see proof that you didn't have a choice.

Because I think you did.

Who's being macho now?

-Hi, blondie. -Hi.

-May I see your tickets? -Give him one.

-I come back. -Alright.

Cold fee?

Tom said that you ran him off.

I would have liked it.

Blackmailed.

If I was blackmailing them, why didn't you say so?

Why didn't he come up to you and say

"Listen Greg has lost in my chops"

"Help me straighten this out." Did he say that to you?

This is perverse.

This is how you show you care about me

by ruining my marriage?

I just came here to take a ride on a boat.

What? Am I supposed to be flattered

that you went to all this trouble?

Do you or do you not want to ship out?

[sighs] You do care about me.

You have an odd way of showing it

but you do care about me.

Are you really dying?

Could we stick to a lighter subject?

No, I need to know.

Because until I see you dead and buried

I won't believe my good fortune.

[suspenseful music]

[knocking on door]

[music continues]

-Who is it? -[Anne] A friend.

I should be furious with you

after what you did to my daughter.

-I don't know why that. -It's over.

I've never talked to you about women, have I done?

Give us a couple of glasses, will you?

Coach Abrams?

Claudia Whitaker.

Yes, we got the telegram

and we were thrilled to find out that Katie got the scholarship.

But there is one thing I think you should know.

Katie just had a physical

and the doctor found a heart arrhythmia.

Oh yes, we were shocked.

Well, I know it's been in the news a lot lately.

I just can't believe it.

My child would have this condition.

My fear, of course

is that if the school pushed her too hard

well, you know...

you might wind up with a major lawsuit if she...

I don't even want to think about that.

But I'm just telling you

because I feel I have to be completely honest

about the situation.

Men are men. They grow up.

They know what it means to be an adult.

They take responsibility for their actions.

I mean, you explained it all to Paige

and she's still being childish.

That's a woman's psychology.

They never grow up.

I don't know if it's...

all those years of playing with Barbie dolls

and reading fairy tales, but.

They honestly believe that men should be faultless.

Knights and Shining armor.

It's ridiculous.

I think it's positively heroic that you went up against Greg.

And I don't think it's over between you and Paige.

You're destined to be together.

And I'm going to see to it that you are.

The only problem with Paige is that she's a typical woman.

But men are men.

And women...

are adolescents.

Honey, you still got UC Southbridge.

I was sure I was going to get Green State

and the coach loved me.

The scholarships are so political.

You-You never know who's pulling the strings.

It shouldn't be political.

Let's look on the bright side, hm?

You've been accepted at a great school

and this is a lovely place to live.

I know what would cheer you up.

-Let's find a nice restaurant. -Mom, I'm not hungry.

Well, then let's get you some new clothes for school.

I don't want any new clothes.

Then let's get your hair done, huh?

Try something new.

I always thought you'd look great

with a little more bangs, hm?

Mom.

[eerie music]

[man 2] Hey! Who set the horses free?

-[man 3] I'll go to the barn. -Hustle.

[horse neighing]

Well, get everybody out there.

I don't believe this.

What's the matter? What happened?

Six of my futurity champions got out of the stable

headed for the Canyon,

and the fences down for a quarter mile stretch

South of the creek.

Hey, come on!

Jimmy, let's go. Come on. Everybody. Everybody.

Take the road south of the creek. Hit the road.

-Leland, get the four by. -Yeah.

[intriguing music]

[intense music]

You'll feel better if you go out there.

Yeah. Would you come with me?

I can't, sweetie. Betsy stayed home today.

Right, I forgot.

You go on, we'll be alright. I'll just keep the doors locked.

Okay. I'll be back as soon as I can.

Don't worry, we will be alright.

See you.

[intense music]

[suspenseful music]

Hello, cowboy.

-[narrator] Next on Knots Landing... -Tell me something, Gary.

Did you really think I was going to stand by

while you ran off to Texas with my wife?

You should be making your case to my daughter, not me.

I tried.

And she finds your story as lame as I do?

It's a stupid precondition for inheritance.

Your father's will is airtight.

I find ways to make myself comfortable.

Well, as your host, Shirley,

I want you to be as comfortable as possible.

I'd be more comfortable in the bedroom.
