A boy.
Aah! No, look, you don't understand.

Yes, I know Dr.
Mancini is on vacation.
I just don't know where.
Yes No, look, I understand.
No, no message.
Thanks loads.
Hi, Matt.
Hi, Jane.
Could you do me a huge favor and deliver these to Michael at the hospital? It's been months, and he still hasn't changed his address.
And there's no way I'm going to deliver them in person.
Yeah, sure, um, it's gonna have to wait, though.
He and Sydney are on their honeymoon.
They went up to the mountains for I'm sorry, that's It it doesn't matter, Matt.
I just figured All these reminders No, I could care less.
Sydney and Michael may be married now, but you watch.
Given enough time, those two will kill each other.
Thanks a lot.
Hey, hey Watch that, I got allergies.
Oh Michael, I love this place.
Really? Yeah.
It's not too far out of the way for you? No, it's just that it's perfectly out of the way from L.
A.
, from my sister from those snoops back at Melrose.
Michael, I know you don't believe it, and I know there's still some tension between us, but I think that this honeymoon's gonna be a great opportunity for us to get our whole marriage off on a better foot.
That was the idea.
Don't move a muscle.
I'm making you breakfast in bed.
Eggs bacon I'll squeeze the juice myself.
Eggs Pan eggs You still like your eggs over-medium, right Michael? You wait and see, Michael.
I'm going to be the best wife in the whole world.
Not for long.
Hi, Jake.
Talk.
Go on.
Jake, wait up a second.
I'm in a hurry.
Yeah, this will just take a second.
Alison and I were talking last night about this feud, or whatever it is, that we're having.
And you got to admit, it's kind of childish Look, not everyone in this building has to be best friends.
You go on with your life, I'll go on with mine, okay? Okay.
Well, bombed out again.
Give him time, he'll cool off.
I don't know.
Anyway, we have a wedding to plan.
Yeah, I know, I told you, I'm fine with all of it.
With what? We haven't done a thing.
If we don't find a church soon, we're dead.
You'll pick a place.
Any place.
I guarantee I'll love it.
Morning, Jo.
Ready for our shoot today? Yeah, all set.
Are you okay? You look a little gray.
Oh no, uh, I just didn't get a lot of sleep, but I'll be fine.
I'll see you at the studio.
Okay? Okay.
Dreamy Pines.
Yes, I am trying to locate a Dr.
Mancini.
I believe that he's a guest there with his wife.
There wasn't any answer.
'Cause they're out, on a hike, I think.
Would you like to leave a message? No, I'm just trying to see how they're doing, um, how things are going.
They're on their honeymoon.
How do you think they're doing? I'll call back, thank you.
Angela, um I need to take a sick day Maybe two.
Will you cover for me? Of course, Matt.
Good.
Thank you.
Sydney? Down here.
Come on in.
The hot springs are something Like a Jacuzzi.
Oh, no, I don't swim in anything where I can't see bottom.
Chicken.
Come on, chicken.
There you go.
Come on, slowpoke.
Hurry up! It's freezing.
You're such a baby sometimes.
Oh! Aah! We got company.
Hey, you kind of snuck up on us there.
Just passing through.
Don't mind us.
Have a nice day, then.
When was the last time I told you I love you? You haven't stopped since we got here.
And you haven't said it once since that time in bed months ago.
I didn't know you were keeping score.
That's okay.
You'll say it again.
I have faith in you, Michael.
All the faith in the world.
Next up, the 54-foot pretty lady.
Impounded by the police, it's in excellent running order.
Let's start the bidding out at 80,000.
How about 85? Do I hear 90,000? Let's go for 95.
Once twice Sold for $90,000.
Thank you, everyone, that's it for today.
You got yourself a great deal.
Pretty Lady, she's a good vessel.
If you say so.
Got specific plans for her? Yeah, strip it for parts and sell it off piece by piece.
I'm a salvage operator.
Salvage? You make good money doing that with a boat? How'd you like to make five times that? How would that happen? I'll tell you what, I'll buy you a cup of coffee, we'll talk about it.
Okay.
Tense up.
Give me those looks.
Thanks.
All right, a little closer together, guys.
Good Here we go.
Okay, another one.
Come on, give me something.
Jo.
Jo Um, excuse me.
Okay, everybody, take ten minutes.
I want to know what's going on here.
I guess I guess what's amazing is that Amanda hasn't told the whole building.
About what? What are you talking about? Well, it's that I have this problem.
I'm pregnant with Reed's child.
I don't know, it's just kind of throwing me off, I guess.
First I was thinking about an abortion, and then I decided no.
I want this child for me.
Morning sickness? Yeah, all day long, and plus nightmares when I'm sleeping, when I'm awake.
I mean, I see him everywhere.
It's like he's not really dead.
He's gonna walk right back in my life, "Hey, Jo, what happening? Want to take the boat out?" Oh, God, I'm flipping out.
What do you expect after what you've been through? More inner strength.
Fewer hallucinations.
I went through the same thing with Keith's suicide.
The exact same thing.
God, are we rough on our boyfriends or what? Jo The point is that until I faced Keith's death, I couldn't go on with my own life.
You've got to do the same thing with what happened with Reed.
Believe me, I know.
It's just very difficult when you're the one who pulled the trigger.
This is a joke, right? Pretty lady, police auction are you out of your mind? You shouldn't go through other people's pockets.
I don't know if you know this, but bloodstains are really tough to get out of wood decks.
It's gonna take you a week of sanding at least.
How could I ever afford to buy a boat like that, or any boat? That's exactly what I've been asking myself.
I'm just trying to make a deal with the new owner to charter it.
Like Reed did.
Well, hopefully with a little more success.
And you don't think it's a little ill-timed or inappropriate? It's an opportunity.
Yeah, I'm sure that's what they said about the Titanic.
No, Jake, I don't want to step on your ego, because I know what that does to you, but maybe it's time you give up this "I'm my own man, I work only for myself," crap and go out and find a real job.
I've got one, most of the country has one.
No, no, no, no, don't say it.
That's not what you're about.
You're your own man.
Exactly.
Jake.
Jake Don't do this.
Do what? Things get a little uncomfortable, and I'm left with your backside.
Well, I thought you liked my backside.
Oh, great, now make a joke about it.
Look, Amanda, once, in the heat of battle, you called me a grease monkey and a gold digger.
I'm neither one of those things.
And you may want to keep me in denim and work shirts and down on my luck because it keeps you in charge, but you better know that I got ambitions, same as yours, and I'm going to make something out of my life.
That man is the definition of stubborn.
Yeah, you could say that.
Did you hear the latest? He dug up The Pretty Lady? He's got some crazy plan to charter it.
Did you hear what I said, Jo? Reed's boat.
Well, I don't care, Amanda.
That's none of my business.
Okay.
I'm being such a lousy cook.
They have none of the right spices here.
Good trout needs, you know, needs just the right blend of spices.
Poured you a brandy.
How sweet.
Finally.
God, you'd think they'd put it out where you could see it.
Okay, garlic bread is in the oven, salad's in the fridge What else do we need? Ahem.
Brandy.
Warms the soul, right? Right.
Aren't you going to make a toast? Oh, sure, right, a toast.
Um Uh, yeah.
To us.
To our life together.
That's what's missing.
Oh! Get back! I got it.
No, don't.
It's a flambé.
Oh, Michael.
It's ruined.
The whole dinner.
Hey, hey, it's okay, Syd.
We'll go to that little place we passed up the road.
I'll get our coats.
Jo! Jo.
Are you all right? Yeah.
No.
No, I'm not, actually, I'm really pissed at you.
Yeah, join the club.
I mean, you're keeping this boat in my life at a really bad time, you know? God, you had to know any reminder of Reed is gonna hurt.
That's not what I intended at all.
You didn't think it would affect me? It was a business deal, nothing more.
I wasn't even going to tell you.
I'm sorry.
You're right.
I wasn't thinking.
Look, normally it wouldn't matter, but I'm just I'm having these troubles, you know, and I thought that when I accepted this pregnancy, to keep Reed's child, that it would help, but it's not.
It's doing just the opposite.
I'm haunted by it, Jake.
Hey, I don't know, but, um maybe trying to forget is the mistake.
And how else do I go on unless I forget? Still, isn't keeping the child always going to be a reminder? That's the one thing I can't get past, you know? What do I tell my child? How do you tell a child that you killed his father? Hello? Michael, it's Matt.
I've been trying to call.
Look, I just got up here, I'm near the airport.
I figure I can be there by nightfall.
Look, we've got to talk before you do anything.
Uh, bad connection, Matt, I'm losing you.
Mike Michael? Who was that? Uh, nobody.
Wrong number.
Listen, hurry up and get dressed.
We're gonna go camping.
I thought we already were.
No, real camping.
You know, sleeping bags, tents, under the stars.
Camping.
Cool.
It's open.
Hi.
I just wanted to check in on you.
Yeah? And you expect depressive, and instead you get manic.
God, it's so weird, Alison, Ever since that talk with you and with Jake, I realized where this Reed preoccupation's coming from.
It's not just about what happened in the past, it's about what's happening the future.
Yes, he was a very bad man, and, yes, he was going to kill me on that boat, but I can't just pretend he didn't exist, you know.
That I didn't once love him.
I can't do it, Alison.
I can't lie to my child when it grows up and asks what's happened to its father.
I'm going to tell her or him the truth.
Problem is, I don't have anything of Reed's, I mean, I don't even have a photograph.
Kids always need proof, you know? You realize I don't even know where he's buried? Well, I have some good ideas where to start though because I made some phone calls.
You want to come? Oh, sure.
Gotta hurry up before it closes.
Plot number is 6294.
County cemetery in Bell Heights.
No marker.
Pauper's grave.
And his personal effects? I already explained, I can only show them to the next of kin, and nothing leaves here without a written court order.
But you don't understand, she is the next of kin.
She's his sister.
Okay, but I'll need some I.
D.
first.
"Reynolds.
" This guy's name was Carter.
That's my married name.
Sister, quick thinking.
That's it? All we have.
There is a storage locker up at Lompoc.
They'd be closed by now, though.
So, could you get that address for us? It'd be a really big help.
Please? Wait here.
We're different from other people, aren't we, Michael? That's why we belong together.
We're only together because you blackmailed me into marrying you.
But if you believe in destiny I do Then we were always meant to be together.
Your relationship with Jane never worked out because there was something fundamentally wrong.
Same with Kimberly.
You thought you were where you belonged, but you were wrong.
If you say so.
Did I ever tell you I had my first sexual fantasy about you? You and Jane were out necking on the sun porch that we had up at the lake, and I was watching from the dock.
It was a full moon, so I could see everything.
You had your hand on her breast, and I thought I could feel it on mine.
I got completely turned on.
You know what I think, Michael? Deep down in your heart, you really do love me.
You better get to bed.
Did you hear what I said? You think someone like me knows what love is, Sydney? Maybe you're looking too hard and in all the wrong places.
Maybe I am.
Come on, go ahead.
So it's the ridge tomorrow? They say you can see the whole valley from up there.
Sounds neat.
Yeah it will be perfect.
Hi.
Made the deal.
I charter the boat, handle the bookings, upkeep.
The owner takes a cut.
I haven't signed the final papers yet, and I won't until you tell me it's okay.
Come on, Jake.
I'm serious.
I've been thinking about this all day.
After what you said at the dock when have I ever stood in the way of one of your dreams? Never mind, don't answer that.
Jo, you've been nothing but generous with me, and for what it's worth, I think you're incredibly strong.
Well, I'm not, but thank you, anyway.
If you need anything, you let me know? I will.
The deal went through.
I'm in business.
I'm sure Jo was thrilled.
Luckily, white doesn't have to mean virgin anymore.
This one's nice.
Let's see.
Yeah, it's simple, but elegant.
It's what 90% of Kay's clients are asking for.
So, what are Billy's thoughts? On wedding dresses? Could be hemmed with Velcro and he wouldn't care.
So we can safely say he's not into traditional then.
I don't know what he's into.
Weddings make men crazy.
Michael was the same way, not that those two guys are anything alike.
I mean, Billy's sweet and loving.
You guys have had such a romantic relationship.
Yeah, still, as great as it's been, we did everything backwards We were living together before we were lovers, lovers before we were engaged, friends before any of it.
We are so close, there's absolutely no mystery left.
I wouldn't call it backwards, I would call it inevitable and very nineties.
Hey.
So let it be a hip, contemporary wedding.
I would look ridiculous in that.
Yeah, probably.
No, we are going traditional.
I am only going to have one wedding in my life.
I've got to make it the one I've always dreamed of.
Now, if I could just wake Billy from his non-romantic slumber.
May I suggest a cattle prod? Yes.
Let me get this straight.
You think these honeymooners are lost, but they've only been gone less than a day.
On top of that, Ed, the owner of this place says they have enough provision for three days.
So, why would you or anyone else assume they are in some kind of trouble? I gotta tell you, son, this all sounds a little fishy to me.
Okay.
There's more.
I figured.
The wife, I think she's in danger.
What kind of danger? From the husband, Michael.
I think he took her up to Wolf's Mountain, or whatever the hell it is, to kill her.
You got some kind of proof of this? He so much as said it the night that they left.
I mean, I would have stopped them, right there, but I didn't think I mean, I couldn't believe Son, this is as wild an accusation as I've ever heard.
Look, it's a very twisted situation.
And if you don't do something about it, and something happens to that girl, I'm gonna hold you and this entire county responsible.
I'll put together some deputies.
And just so you know, if you're wrong about this, then it's your ass and your bill.
First thing, change this.
Move this to here.
Delete this.
This is so small, I can hardly read it.
Amanda, can I talk to you a minute? Not here and not now, we'll talk tonight.
Thank you.
Hey! Look who's walking away now.
I was hoping you would.
Not likely.
Jake, I'm not kidding.
Neither am I.
I'm sick of this, and what it's turned into, some little kid's game about who's angry at who now.
We got something together.
Leave now.
So what is it? Your successes matter, and mine don't? You can sleep with an old boyfriend, I can't even talk with an old girlfriend without getting the door slammed in my face? I am not gonna be your boy toy, Amanda.
Either share some of yourself with me or you cut me loose.
My office, now! Should have been here for the funeral.
Two cemetery guys in a hurry to get home.
That's why I'm only four feet under instead of six, which is law, I think.
You have to be at least 6 feet under.
Me, talking about the law.
There's a good one.
Co-captain, that was an elected position by he way, voted on by my teammates.
It was the one place I was popular in high school, the cross-country team.
Perfect sport for me, don't you think? Get out in front, then say, "Come and catch me if you can,.
" Like I did with the cops and you and everyone else.
You're thinking if you don't look at me, I'll go away.
Something like that, yeah.
Yeah? I know why you dug up that trophy, too.
It's for the kid, isn't it? That's good.
I mean, I approve.
That way, he'll know who I am.
But don't sugarcoat it, though, okay? Make it a lesson, in case there's anything to that, uh, genetic thing.
You're impossible.
Even dead, you're impossible.
Yeah, well admit it, though.
In high school, I was cool.
Yeah, you were pretty cool.
Well, you can tell that to that kid, too, okay? That being cool in high school can lead to being a criminal later.
And by the way, not that it matters, I was a dreamer, not a criminal.
There's a subtle difference.
I know why you're here, Jo.
Then you're way ahead of of me.
You want me to forgive you for killing me.
Truth is, you got it backwards.
You're beating yourself up for pulling that trigger when I never gave you a choice.
Another second, and you'd have been the one four feet under.
I keep thinking there should have been another way.
Yeah, well believe me, there wasn't.
I was the bad guy.
You just did what you had to do to save yourself.
See, I need you to forgive me.
I sucked you in.
I let you fall in love, all the time lying to you.
I was selfish and stupid, and I fell in love with you, too.
I forgive you, Reed.
Hello! Hello! We made it, Michael, the top of the world.
I could spend the rest of my life up here.
I think every year we should come back here, right to this spot to restate our vows, reaffirm our love.
I knew you couldn't do it.
Do do what? I had faith in you.
That's not my Michael.
He's no murderer.
Sydney, I don't know what you're talking about.
See, Michael, my theory's the right theory.
Theory? Time heals wounds, even yours, Michael.
You walked again, didn't you, when you thought you never would? And you'll love me again someday, even though it may not seem like it right now.
Thank you, Michael.
You're telling me there are that many trails up there? I'm telling you there are 500 miles of wilderness up there.
If you want to pay for a chopper, I'll bring one down from Truckee, otherwise, we're doing the best we can.
Hey, hey! What's going on here? Michael, oh, my God.
What are all these cops doing here? Why are you doing here? You did it.
You bastard, you killed her.
Wait, you called the cops? What the hell else was I supposed to do? Dr.
Mancini, I presume.
Uh, yeah.
This was really unnecessary, Matt.
I mean, a whole greeting party.
Where's your wife, Doctor? My wife? You mean my current wife? Oh.
Matt, hi, what are you doing here? You mean this wife? Are you all right, ma'am? Never better.
Why? I'll let you ask your friend here.
We're billing you for the wild goose chase, Mr.
Fielding.
Sorry for the inconvenience, folks.
I wish someone would tell me what's going on around here.
Matt? I don't believe this.
You know, Matt, you look kind of stressed out.
We're leaving today, but if you'd like to keep our cabin, I'm sure we could arrange it.
A couple of days in the woods and you'll be back to your old self.
Honestly, Michael and I feel like new people.
We really do.
Come on in, I'll make you a cup of tea.
Come lie down.
Hi.
Hello.
Hey.
Is it in overtime? No, it's the first quarter.
Then it can wait and this can't.
Billy, we need to talk.
If this past week is any indication, you haven't shown any interest in our wedding.
You're leaving everything to me.
Because you're better at it.
Are you kidding? What do I know about planning a wedding? Every time I come to you, even just for an opinion, you just shrug you shoulders and say, "Whatever you want," or worse, we get into a fight.
Yeah, that's exactly why I'm staying out of it, so we won't fight.
This is so scary.
What's scary, that I'm being agreeable? That you've already given up.
This is a classic no-win situation.
If I offer an opinion, I'm dead.
If I go along, I'm still dead.
This isn't supposed to be miserable! This is supposed to be fun, romantic.
Since you proposed, we haven't done one romantic thing, unless you count the Chinese food, and you hogged all the moo shu and went to bed early, so Okay, okay, I'll I'll You're right, I'll try and be more Attentive.
Attentive, right.
In fact, I'll I'll start right now.
Oh, um, there's one more thing.
I've decided we shouldn't have sex until after the wedding.
Our wedding night will be the next time we make love.
What That's that's weeks Months from now.
It will add to the excitement.
It's gonna make me irritable.
No, it will make you attentive, and it will make the wedding more romantic.
Hi, Matt.
Hi, Jane.
Um Sorry about the time, it's just, uh this couldn't wait.
I have to tell you, I Jane, there are reasons that Michael married Sydney, beyond whatever you think, beyond your wildest imaginations.
No, with those two, I doubt it.
She's blackmailing him.
Their moving in together, getting married It's all a charade instigated by Sydney because of what she found out, which which is where I come in.
The, uh night of the accident that ultimately killed Kimberly, Michael was drunk.
He was legally drunk, and he bullied me into changing his blood records.
Look, I owed Michael because he got me the job.
At that point, nobody knew how serious Kimberly was.
It was wrong.
There are no excuses.
A couple of quick keystrokes, and it was done.
So, then what Michael did to Kimberly could be considered Manslaughter or murder.
Either way, he could go to jail.
Jane, yesterday, I went to the mountains because I thought Michael was going to murder her.
Michael's that close to the edge.
We're all that close.
God, this never ends.
Look, Jane I wanted to come here, I wanted to tell you.
I wanted you to hear it from me.
I'm thinking about going to the authorities and confessing.
I just I don't see any other way out of this thing.
Anyway Don't, Matt! Don't go to the authorities.
You'd be destroying your career.
I don't know what else to do! I have thought and thought about this.
There's another way to handle it, a better way, and the only people that are going to get hurt are them.
Hey! It was a perfect honeymoon except for one thing.
Not enough sex.
Sex is what makes this marriage tick.
Now, go get a condom, and I'll turn down the bed.
Hi! Oh, have I come at a bad time? I was just in the neighborhood, and I realized that I still haven't given you your wedding gift yet.
Well, according to Emily Post, you have a whole year.
Well, why wait, I always say.
Michael knows I'm always prompt with my gifts.
Here, go ahead, Syd, open it, come on! I can't wait to see your faces.
Uh, Sydney, maybe we should wait.
Well, it's too small to be crystal.
What is this? I don't get it.
It's a signed confession from Matt, witnessed and signed by me as well.
It implicates Michael in the drunk driving murder of Kimberly Shaw.
I got plenty of copies, so you can go ahead and tear that up, eat it, do whatever you're planning to do to dispose of it.
Why, Jane? What do you want? It's simple, lovebirds.
I want you to stay out of my life, both of you, permanently.
But, more importantly, I want you to stay together, forever, in this sick, loveless marriage.
If you separate or divorce, I lower the boom.
Well, good luck, you two.
I hope you're happy now.
I hope you're really happy now! I didn't do this.
It's not my fault Matt went and told Jane.
It's not it's all your fault! It is not! It's all your fault! It's all All your fault!
