7th Heaven s04e21 Episode Script

Hi.
Oh, there you are.
- Hey, sweetheart.
Hi.
- Hi.
How are you? Hi.
Hi.
Hi.
- Hi, Heather.
- Hi.
I'm gonna go find us some seats.
- How's Shana doing? - Hm? Shana, how is she? Oh, she's moving back for the summer to work at Glenoak Hospital.
Really, when's that? Yesterday.
The day before yesterday.
Have you seen her yet? - What? - It's nice to see Heather again.
Yeah, we talked and thought it was silly not to spend time together since we're such good friends.
- Friends? - Yes.
Heather and I are friends, just friends.
Whatever you say.
- We are.
- I believe you.
No, you don't.
- What's wrong with Matt? - Shana's back in town.
Wow.
I forget, are they together or apart this week? Together for now.
- No sign of Deena? - I don't understand.
She said she'd meet me at church.
Well, I'm sure there's a good explanation why she didn't come.
Come on.
Let me get this straight.
Were you in the church hall eating the after-service donuts? Lying in church? I gotta admire your nerve.
The devil made me do it.
- Sorry.
- Hi, Ruthie.
- Hi.
- Hi.
You said that already.
Stop looking at me.
I'll meet you after church so we can do our school project.
I'm really happy our teacher's making us work together.
- Whatever.
- Bye.
He's cute.
- Where's Mary? - She's getting Lucy.
What are you doing? Church is about to begin.
I'm hiding from Andrew Nayloss and his creepy parents.
- I thought you liked Andrew.
- I thought so too.
We have an intense chemistry, but every time we stop kissing, he drives me crazy.
- It's not a long drive, is it? - Very funny.
You guys only dated for a week, right? Yes, and that was a week too long.
Shelley's older brother's back from college for the summer.
She thought you might wanna meet him.
No thanks.
Even though I haven't heard from Robbie since Valentine's Day and I know it's probably over between us, I'm not ready to date anyone right now.
- Oh, no.
- No way.
- Unbelievable.
- They're back.
- Who's that? - Trouble.
It's Robbie.
And Robbie's very good-looking friend.
Of all the churches in all the small towns in all the world, why did Robbie have to walk into mine? I really thought we'd seen the last of him.
Every day I extol the virtues of forgiveness and giving people a second chance, but after what Robbie tried to do to Mary, I - I just can't.
- I know.
Mary's doing great.
Her life's on track.
She's going off to college soon.
Here comes Robbie, just in time to mess everything up.
You know, Robbie lied to Mary and he lied to us.
She won't just take him back.
- You really think that? - She won't.
I hope.
- But - But what? But she has been praying for Robbie to come back.
- And she may - Don't say it.
- She may take him back.
- I told you not to say it and you said it.
- Why'd you say it? - I said it because it could happen, and we both need to figure out a way to deal with it.
Never.
I don't hear from you in three months and then you just walk into church like nothing's happened? I came to apologise for my behaviour on Valentine's Day.
Which part of Valentine's Day? Lying to me and my parents or driving me to a motel to have sex? All of it.
- After you broke up with me - You mean after I hit you? After that, I realised I wanted to change.
Become a better person.
The kind of person you wouldn't wanna hit.
You haven't seen me for the last three months, because I've been busy turning my life around.
What does that mean? It means I go to church now, every Sunday.
But I have to admit that I don't just go for God.
Since church is such a big part of who you are, going every Sunday makes me feel close to you.
- When I can't be close to you.
- Trying to get close to me? Isn't that how you got into trouble in the first place? I guess I just came by to say thank you.
I'm a better person now, and I owe it all to you.
- I don't know what to say.
- Maybe there isn't anything to say.
When are you supposed to see Shana? Well, I told her I'd meet her at her new apartment after church.
It's after church.
Well, I guess I should get going.
Okay, this is me going.
- Lucy.
- Not now, Andrew.
You're Lucy, right? - Lucy - Not now, Andrew.
I'm Ronald, Rick and Robbie's stepbrother.
I'm home from college.
I live with my mom during the summer.
- Cool.
- Rick said to say hello.
- I'm Andrew, Lucy's boyfriend.
- He's not my boyfriend.
- I should go find Robbie.
- Yeah, you should.
Go.
Bye.
Maybe we can go to the movies sometime.
I wouldn't count on it.
She's very busy.
What exactly did Rick tell you about me? He told me you love the movies.
- I do.
- Then I'll call you.
I'd like that.
- Lucy - Not now, Andrew.
- Hey, Simon.
- Wade, how's it going? Look, I hate to be the one to tell you this, but I was at the mall the other night and I saw Deena with another guy.
An older guy.
That was probably her brother back from school.
I don't think it was her brother.
Just the way they were hugging wasn't really brotherly.
- Oh, hi, Bert.
- Hello, Mrs.
Camden.
Is Ruthie home? Ruthie.
- Would you like a cookie? - Oh, no thank you.
My parents and I are vegans.
We don't eat any animals or animal products.
And cookies have eggs, and that's an animal product.
Yeah, I know.
My dad says we don't eat anything with a face.
Well, good for you.
Would you like some juice? I'm kind of juice intolerant.
Oh, well, how about some water? - Bottled or tap? - Either.
- Do you have fizzy, flat? - Either.
Well I don't do well with carbonation.
Well, I'm going to take your word on that.
Shh.
Did you bring the pictures for the project? Follow me.
- Hello? May I speak to Deena, please? Simon, you've already called four times.
And no, Deena's not home.
And no, I don't know why she didn't meet you at church.
And yes, I'll tell her you called.
Thanks.
You really should talk to him.
Tell him what's going on.
I can't, Dad.
I just can't.
Brett spent a semester in England and this is how everyone eats French fries across the pond.
- Oh, that Brett, he's something.
- Did I hear my name? Brett, what are you doing? - Looking for you.
- No.
What are you doing here in Glenoak? He's supposed to be in New York working at the Brooklyn Free Clinic.
You're supposed to be in New York working at the Brooklyn Free Clinic.
Brett, good to meet you.
- It's Matt, right? - Yeah.
A friend of my father's offered me a job in Glenoak this summer.
I went by your apartment and a neighbour told me you were at the pool hall.
I'd offer you a cup of coffee, but I hear you don't drink it.
Caffeine.
Pass the vinegar.
What are you doing? I don't see you for months and then you show up and tell me because of that despicable thing you did to me on Valentine's Day, you've changed? Become some great guy? So you can do what? Just go off and be a great guy to some other girl? I don't think so.
Are you saying what I think you're saying? Welcome back to my life, Robbie Palmer.
Don't break my heart.
Don't break my jaw.
Don't break my heart and I'll have no reason to break your jaw.
- Hello? Reverend Camden? - Yeah.
- Hi, it's Peter Simms, Mary's high school guidance counsellor.
Sorry to be calling you on the weekend, but you didn't respond to the letter I sent home last week.
Oh, that's because I didn't get your letter.
I sent it home with Mary.
The letter contained a list of some good junior colleges she might wanna consider.
Now, the deadline for enrolment is fast approaching and Mary is far too intelligent to just sit out next year.
You must have Mary confused with some other student.
Mary's going to Crawford in the fall.
Mary was going to Crawford, but she lost her space when she didn't send in her acceptance forms.
Plus, she didn't fill out any financial aid or grant forms.
When I found out about Mary's situation, I spoke with her directly, and she told me she wasn't planning on attending college in the fall.
Are you trying to tell me that Mary doesn't have a college to go to? I'm afraid so.
Hi.
I'm glad you're both here.
I have something to tell you.
Robbie and I are back together.
Now, I know you haven't forgiven him for Valentine's Day, and I know it's gonna be hard for you to trust him, but he's changed.
And he changed for me.
And I'd appreciate it if you'd give him another chance.
He goes to church now.
Is there something wrong? The school guidance counsellor called.
He said you didn't fill out any financial aid or grant forms.
You didn't send your paperwork back to Crawford to hold your space.
So you don't have a school to go to in the fall.
Please tell us this is a mistake.
A terrible mistake.
It's not a mistake.
I'm not going to college.
I'm sorry you had to find out like this, but I'm glad you know.
Are you just gonna sit there and stare at me? I can't help staring.
You're so beautiful.
- You look like a Powerpuff Girl.
- Really, which one? The pretty one.
Cool, I like cats.
I like you.
Will you be my girlfriend? - Why would I do that? - I gave you the cat.
Hi.
Don't "hi" me.
So that's Matt, huh? He looks different from the pictures you showed me.
Do you think his hair is longer now? - I like his hair.
- No, seriously.
What'd you buy him for Christmas? Barrettes? I told you the day I left that it was over between us.
When things got bad with Matt, instead of just trying to make it work, I just jumped into another relationship with you.
It wasn't fair.
I owe Matt more than that.
What we had, what we shared, will never be over.
Look, the only reason to get out of a relationship is because it isn't working, not because you find a more interesting or better relationship.
I love you, and I know you love me.
I love Matt, so you might as well just go home.
Well, I'm not as stupid as Matt.
I'm not just gonna throw you out there and see what happens.
I'm here to stay.
- You're trespassing.
- Call a lawyer.
- Don't tempt me.
- We need to talk about us.
There is no us.
And the quicker you realise that, the better.
You know, we are meant to be together.
Andrew, you can't argue me into having a relationship with you.
- We already tried and it didn't work.
- Three times.
Three dates, that's not trying.
Goodbye, Andrew.
Deena.
Am I happy to see you.
You okay? I called, but your dad said you weren't home.
Why didn't you meet me at church? I came over because I need to tell you something.
And I didn't wanna do it over the phone.
Is this about that guy you were hugging at the mall? The guy at the mall? That wasn't a guy.
He was my cousin Robert.
Well, I knew there had to be some kind of logical explanation as to why you were hugging some strange guy at the mall.
I think we should see other people.
You're serious? - So how'd it go with Shana? - Fine.
- How's she look? - Fine.
You haven't seen Shana in five months and the only thing you can say about her is "fine"? Oh, she doesn't drink coffee anymore.
Brett.
And she loves hockey.
Brett.
She puts vinegar on her French fries.
Brett.
And she now refers to the Atlantic Ocean as "the pond.
" Brett.
And guess who just moved to Glenoak for the summer? Brett.
So you met the infamous Brett.
What is he like? - Fine.
- Why is he here? Well, I don't think he's here because there aren't any medical jobs in New York.
Are you jealous? No.
But shouldn't I be? You're not jealous of Brett because you're not in love with Shana anymore.
- Thanks for clearing that up.
- You're welcome.
- I was being sarcastic.
- I was being honest.
Do you want me to tell you who you're in love with? Heather.
And if you say you two are just friends, I'm gonna pound you.
Heather and I are friends.
You two are friends like Cleopatra and Caesar were friends.
And I would hate to see you lose the Roman Empire, if you know what I mean.
I have no idea what you're talking about.
Tell Shana the truth and don't let Heather get away.
- Anything else? - Yeah, make me a sandwich.
Giving good advice makes me hungry.
Okay, I'll be your girlfriend if you do everything I tell you to do.
So it's like the game Simon Says.
Simon Says with presents.
I like the presents.
Deal.
What's going on with Mary? She's still in her room and she won't talk.
I don't know how this happened.
How did this happen? What was she thinking? I know someone who can answer all those questions.
I don't think she's ready to talk to us yet.
Well, you know, that's too bad.
I want some answers.
She's gonna do more than talk.
She's going to explain.
Let's go.
I have to go.
Well, did I do something wrong? Tell me.
No.
You didn't do anything.
- It's just over.
- Wait a second.
You just said that you wanna see other people.
And now you're saying we're over? I'm sorry.
I've wanted to do this for a long time.
But I just couldn't bring myself to tell you.
I don't wanna hurt you.
But the sooner you move on, the better.
I hope we can be friends.
I don't wanna be your friend.
I wanna be your boyfriend.
Not everything is about what you want.
It won't do you any good.
You can't talk me into changing my mind.
- I'm not going to college.
- Yes, so you said.
Why did you lie? You told me you'd finished all your paperwork for college.
No, you asked me if all my paperwork for college was taken care of.
And I said yes.
I didn't fill out those forms because I didn't need to.
I wasn't going to college.
So I had taken care of it, just not the way that you wanted me to.
A lie by omission is still a lie.
And where is this attitude of yours coming from? I'm not sure.
I always thought that I'd graduate, I'd go to college and I'd play basketball, and that would be that.
But being arrested and losing my scholarship changed everything.
So after a while I thought I'd skip college.
I'd go pro, play with the WNBA.
But that's not happening.
So now I'm not sure what I wanna do with my life.
And I don't think that everyone should go into debt while I figure it out.
It's not like Matt in premed.
It's not terrible if he goes into debt because he's working towards a very specific goal.
And in the end, he'll be a doctor, and it'll be all worth it.
But for me, I don't know what to do.
But college is a great place to figure that out.
Why are we just hearing about this now? If you knew what I was planning, you would have tried to stop me.
College will always be there.
Oh, you say that now because you're young.
But the older you get, the harder it is to start over.
Hard, but not impossible.
I know you're disappointed.
But nothing you say will change my mind.
I need to figure out what I want.
I need to find myself.
And I'm not going to college to do it.
Hey, come on in.
Hey.
- Would you like a cup of coffee? - No, thanks.
- So how's Shana? - She's fine.
Right, Matt? I'm supposed to meet her later at the promenade for a movie.
Sounds like fun.
I forgot to tell you something at the church this morning.
What's that? I'm in love with you.
Ha, bye now.
I love you.
I just thought that you should know.
I know my timing stinks considering Shana just moved back into town, but I can't hide my feelings anymore.
I'm always thinking of excuses to spend more time with you.
You are? Sometimes I catch myself smiling for no other reason than I'm gonna see you.
You do? Well, have fun at the movies.
Okay.
Okay.
- Hello? Cynthia, it's Simon Camden.
- I need a favour.
- What kind of favour? Well, you know everything that goes on in the eighth grade and I need some information.
I need to know if Deena's seeing someone else.
- Dating someone else.
- You and Deena broke up? I don't know.
Maybe you could tell me.
Kind of ironic that I'm taking out the trash.
- You know, I'm glad I ran into you.
- You are? Yeah, I wanted to compliment you on that going-to-church, I'm-a-changed-man scam.
It's not a scam.
I am going to church and it has changed me.
It's funny how some people find God somewhere between conviction and sentencing.
What does that mean? I think you know exactly what that means.
Reverend Camden, what I tried to do with Mary was wrong, and I'm sorry.
And I hope you believe me when I tell you that I will never do anything like that again.
Maybe you convinced Mary that you're a changed man, but I'm not buying it.
And I'm putting you on notice, I'm watching you.
And he's watching you too, so watch out.
Mom said it was okay if we went to get ice cream.
Okay.
Is there anything beyond hate? Because if there is, that's what your Dad feels for me.
It's not you.
Well, not all you.
I told my parents that I'm not going to college in the fall.
Why? Because right now, the only thing that I'm sure of is that I wanna spend as much time with you as possible.
Your dad told me about Bert.
Congratulations.
Bert has to do whatever I tell him to do.
Isn't that cool? It's like having my own dog.
Bert isn't a dog.
He is a little boy.
A nice little boy with feelings.
Yeah, yeah, you know what I mean.
You know, one person doing everything really isn't fair.
Why? Well, I just think you might be getting the wrong idea about relationships.
It's never about just one person.
What is Bert getting in return for all he's doing for you? Bert doesn't want anything.
He just wants to hang out with me and give me presents.
And I'm okay with that.
I'm surprised your parents let me come over.
- And why is that? - I hear they hate Robbie.
Oh, yeah.
Right.
I don't think they liked Rick much either.
Do you have a girlfriend? No.
- Do you have a boyfriend? - No.
So, what's with that little weird guy at church? Andrew and I went on a couple of dates.
But it didn't work out and he's having a hard time dealing with that.
Dad, hi.
This is Ronald, Rick and Robbie's brother.
Hello, Reverend Camden.
I've heard a lot about you.
I don't like your family.
I just want you to know I'd never take Lucy to a motel.
That's very reassuring.
If you'll excuse me, I have to go put my head through a wall.
Why did you let Mary go out with Robbie? We can't make her go to college, how can we make her stay home? Hey, don't quit on me.
We're gonna figure this out.
She's going to college.
Even if it's just to get her away from Robbie Palmer.
- I needed to tell you something.
- I needed to tell you something.
You go first.
I know things have been really strained between us lately.
I take most of the blame myself.
I went off to New York, which forced us to maintain a relationship with long-distance phone calls.
I just want you to know, I I didn't come back to Glenoak just for a job.
I came back for you.
Or us.
I really wanna make an honest effort to make our relationship work.
If things go well this summer, I thought I could help you move to New York and transfer to NYU.
So, what did you wanna tell me? I don't remember.
- Hello? Hi, Simon.
It's Cynthia.
Did you find out anything? Is Deena seeing someone? She is.
- Who? - Some older boy from another school.
I didn't believe it.
But I talked to Jill, who talked to Lauren, who's dating Danny, whose sister Emily saw Deena kiss this guy at school last week.
I know this is none of my business, but I think Deena would want you to find someone else too.
Move on.
I'll never find anyone like Deena.
I don't want anyone but Deena.
Well, sorry about the bad news.
Thanks.
You're good.
I almost believed you.
It's a gift.
You know, he really likes you.
I really like him too.
But this is just the way it has to be.
I think you should tell Simon the truth.
I think it's better this way.
This way he'll hate me, and it won't be so hard for him to let go.
So I got accepted to Crawford, and I was thinking if you want, I'll go to school there and we can work on our relationship, while you figure out what you're gonna do with your life.
I really wanna be here for you.
I want you to trust me.
I'm not gonna screw up this time.
I'm not gonna let you down.
I will never lie to you again.
I do trust you.
And I know you've changed.
And I really need you here right now.
It's good to be needed.
- Isn't that your ex-boyfriend, Robbie? - That's him.
Who's the girl? - I don't know.
- Maybe they're just friends.
The last time Robbie Palmer had a girl who was a friend, he was 5.
Unbelievable.
We go steady for the last three years, and out of the blue last week, he dumps me.
Now I think I know why he dumped me.
You should march over there and tell Robbie off.
Right in front of his new little girlfriend.
I've got a better idea.
A much better idea.
Hey, Luce, why don't you take Ruthie and wait for Mary in the car? - Where's Simon? - He rode his bike to school.
Uh-oh.
So So your mother and I have talked about your school situation.
- And we agree with you.
- You do? Yes, we agree that it's a waste of everyone's time and money to send you to school if you really don't wanna go.
I can't believe how cool you're being.
But in the real world, which you've decided to enter, in our opinion, prematurely, there are real things called rent and bills, and you're gonna have to get a job and pay.
Absolutely.
I'll get a job and whatever I can manage to pay, I'll pay.
No, you misunderstand.
This looks like a bill.
It is a bill.
Starting in September, it's what you'll need to pay for your room and board if you want to continue to live here.
Room and board? You're gonna make me pay rent in my own house? - Yeah.
- You're being totally unfair.
You didn't do this with Matt.
Matt was going to school while he was living at home.
Now, Jim is hiring over at the Dairy Shack.
And Bob needs a cashier at the car wash.
You're welcome to find your own job, but make no mistake.
Come the fall, you're either gonna be working or in school.
Those are the rules of the house.
And if you're gonna live here, you're gonna abide by the rules.
Maybe I'll just move out.
Well, you're an adult.
It's your choice.
- What if she does move out? - With what? If she doesn't have a job She doesn't want a job.
You have to have money to move.
She doesn't even have money to stay.
No, heh-heh.
Matt.
Gee, well, haven't seen you since you broke up Heather's wedding last May.
Matt, don't hurt her.
I would never hurt Heather.
I Well, I love her.
Sometimes that's no guarantee.
- We should talk.
- Okay, talk.
I love you.
I've felt that way for weeks.
But I didn't know how to tell you.
And I've decided to break up with Shana.
Good.
Uh - Good? - Yes, good.
I like Shana, but I love you.
And if you wanna be with me then that's good.
Well, I guess now all I have to do is find the right time to tell Shana.
You're gonna have to do that, tell Shana.
You can't have us both.
So you're gonna have to break up with Shana for good so we can be together.
And not one of those breakups where you two get back together after a couple weeks.
It has to really be over between you and Shana for us to have anything.
And I'm not telling you to break up with Shana, it's just that if you really love me and wanna be with me, then you're gonna have to chose who you wanna be with.
Me or her.
Until then, I guess this is goodbye.
Hurry up.
Ruthie and Bert, sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G.
- You're in love with Bert.
- I am not.
Are too.
Bert says you love him so much you can't stand it.
You better take that back.
- What are you saying about me? - That you love me.
I never said that.
But you said you'd be my girlfriend.
Yeah, so you'd do stuff for me.
That's the only reason that you wanted to be my girlfriend? Now tell everyone the truth.
What's wrong? You made him cry.
- You're in trouble.
- Big trouble.
I know you wanna see other people, but it's an early birthday present.
You should open it.
- I don't know what to say.
- Just say thank you.
In light of what's happened between us, I can't accept it.
No, you should keep it.
It's a promise ring.
Just because you wanna see other people doesn't change how I feel about you or why I bought you that ring.
Even though we're breaking up, I still want you to have the ring.
- You know, to remember me.
- I can't take the ring.
And I don't wanna see other people.
- Well, that doesn't make any sense.
- I'm sorry, I've gotta go.
Were you with him last night? If by "him" you mean Ronald, then, yes.
Ronald's just a face.
He doesn't like you.
He doesn't even know you.
- And you know me? - I do.
Right.
I know you can instal a toilet, put up drywall and rebuild a carburettor all in the same day.
I know you snort when you laugh really hard.
I know you're not afraid to eat the meat that they serve in the cafeteria.
And that sometimes you don't eat your lunch because you like to give it to the homeless guy that lives in the park.
I know you're pretty and you're smart and that I like you.
And that you like me, but you won't let yourself like me, because you know that we're perfect for each other and that scares you.
After three dates? You know this after three dates? I knew this after our first date.
But I'm tired of waiting for you, so I'm walking away, today.
And if you don't stop me, I'll never bother you again.
Never.
- Andrew.
- Yes? Man, you were this close.
What? No hug for your ex-girlfriend? I already told you it's over between us.
But now I think I know why things are over between us.
Her name's Mary Camden, right? I saw you last night on the promenade.
I made some phone calls today and apparently, I'm the last to know you were two-timing me.
Well, maybe not the last to know.
I'll bet the last person to know all this is probably Mary.
Sweet, innocent Mary.
You wouldn't.
I would, and I am.
I'm gonna do her a favour.
I'm gonna tell her all about us.
The three of us, so she'll know exactly what kind of guy she's involved with.
Please don't.
You'll ruin everything.
- I love her.
- Too bad.
Because after I talk to her, she's gonna hate you.
Did you finish your work? The twins are napping.
- Oh, so this is like a free period? - Mm-hm.
- I don't wanna talk about it.
- I don't wanna talk about it.
I don't wanna talk about it.
I've got great news.
I talked to Robbie after school.
We talked about everything.
Jobs, bills, rent.
We think we have a solution.
- We have a solution? - You and Robbie have a solution? Robbie's getting an apartment when he starts school at Crawford this fall.
And he's looking for a roommate.
Isn't that great? And I really trust him.
