Beverly Hills, 90210 (1990) s07e24 Episode Script

So are you excited? l'm so excited, l haven't slept in days.
Well, now you'll be on Hong Kong time.
Sorry, guys, l had to give Jim the flight info.
And the companion info? Yes, for the last time, he's thrilled about meeting you.
-Really? -He said l must be ''very involved.
'' ''lnvolved''? He used that word? Val, could you help me out a little bit? Uh, yeah.
Listen, Jim and cindy give parenting a really good name.
You'll love them and they'll love you, and it'll be this big, huge nauseating lovefest.
Which is perfect, considering spring break is all about getting nauseated.
Exactly.
Well, it's too bad you guys are going to miss the After Dark party; it's going to be very star-studded.
oh, yes, you and Rob are going to have to bask in the paparazzi's glare without us.
Well, l invited everybody even though it's a private party.
Nice touch inviting Kelly.
A very solid olive branch.
No, l really want her to come.
Really.
Mm-hmm.
Not on your life.
lt'll be fun.
Watching Val conquer Hollywood? l don't think so.
lt's our last spring break.
And l'm going to make it a productive one.
By fixing a chair? We give up on things way too quickly.
Beautiful things.
l know it hurts.
Brandon taking Tracy to Hong Kong.
l think l can save this.
But moping is not going to turn their plane around.
Make it what it was before.
Kel, just come okay? lt'll be fun.
l'm not going.
okay? l know you don't want to hear this, but some things aren't worth saving.
Don't you guys want to rest or something like that? What, you kidding me, Dad? We just spent 16 hours on a flying hotel.
Besides, l'm too excited to sleep.
What do you think we should see first? Victoria Harbor or Kowloon? Well, l know you guys are all tanned and rested and ready to rock and roll, but for those of us in Hong Kong it's still 7:00 a.
m.
So why don't you take some time, unpack and come on, have some tea and then we can go see the sights.
So, welcome to casa Walsh East.
lt's charming.
Yes, in a very ''adults only'' sort of way.
But, uh, l'll be sure and rectify that for you, Dad.
l'm sure your mother will be very happy to hear that.
-of course she would.
-oh, l'm sorry we missed her.
-Yeah, so is she.
-Well, if Brenda really has mono, she's doing the right thing.
How long has it been since all of you've been together? -lt's been quite a while.
-Well, l'm not surprised, considering where you're all located.
We couldn't be more spread out if we tried.
You know, l think l'm going to take you up on that unpacking.
All right, it's, uh, down the hall, first door on the left.
Do you want me to help? oh, no.
l got it.
Doh je, She's an enthusiast.
-l've always been fond of enthusiasts.
- Mm-hmm.
So how come you've never told us about Tracy? This may come as a surprise, Dad, but there are some thing's l like to keep to myself.
How disgustingly grown-up.
Next, you're gonna tell me that you're shaving.
l'll tell you what, l'll, uh, l'll buy you a couple of beers later, and l'll fill you in on everything.
lt's good to see you.
Yeah, you, too.
l can't believe you're coming home.
Well, l'm mildly beside myself at the idea.
Well, is there anything special you want? Food, magazines No, just coming home is reward enough.
Although a brass band and a parade, that would be nice.
Well, considering how well you're doing, l'd say that's deserved.
Well, l'm not ready for the olympics, but according to my doctor, my recovery is just world class.
You know, Mom says you've been flirting with all the nurses.
That's one of the perks of being paralyzed.
Dad! But Donna we have to face it.
l can't use my right arm or leg.
You have partial use of them.
The doctor says with therapy, you'll be good as new.
-When did he say that? -About ten minutes ago.
He said your short-term memory will be back, too.
Those are really beautiful flowers.
Well, Kelly and clare were very worried about you.
And l can't wait to tell them they don't have to be worried anymore.
l've spoken to the rehab administrator.
He has all the information he needs.
oh, thank you.
l can't tell you how good it makes me feel, knowing that he's going to such a fine facility.
The West Hollywood Rehab center -is one of the city's best.
-Great.
-John will be in good hands.
-Thank you.
-Hi, Donna.
-Hi.
Hi, sweetheart.
lsn't Daddy doing well? Yeah, he's doing great.
Uh, what's this l hear about rehab center? l thought Daddy was coming home with us.
oh, we don't want to rush him.
Didn't the doctor say that he could be released tomorrow? That home care was a real option? Well, your father's no longer in a life-threatening situation, but he's not ready to come home.
okay, l, l understand that he needs rehab, but he's made so much progress here, and he would make twice as much at home.
Well, he's not coming home right now.
How could you do this to him? l'm doing this for him.
And this is a wonderful -care facility.
-He belongs at home.
They can provide all the support services that your father really needs right now.
No, what he needs right now is our love and affection.
Yes, and he'll get that.
And more.
Donna, don't make this any harder than it already is.
l say we stay in bed all day.
Hmm, honey, it's almost 3:00.
We have been in bed all day.
-Uh-huh, time flies.
-Hmm.
Why don't we order in and pop in a couple of videos? And miss the big Party TV bash? l don't think so.
oh.
Mm, ignore it.
Honey, l like you, but not that much.
Hello? So we're set? Yeah, but this is not a good time.
But you got Rob coming to the party? Yes, that's what l said.
Hey, don't cop attitude with me, sweetheart.
We're partners, am l right? Yeah.
Listen, just send me the paperwork.
l'll renew my subscription.
Sounded like a pain.
You can't imagine.
Hey, where are you going? We're going to the party.
You're not talking about the one all the fake people faking smiles and talking about my movie, are you? No, l'm taking about the one with fake people faking smiles and gushing about your movie.
lt's for a promotion.
You promised your manager.
l know.
l know it's at the After Dark, but l'd still rather stay in bed all day.
Listen to me, okay? You did a great movie.
And people should see it.
And if that means plastering on a smile and doing a few silly interviews to make it happen, then it's worth it.
l guess so.
l never know what to say in those interviews.
Well, then we've got a lot of preparing to do.
crack the whip any harder, l'd swear you own a piece of me, too.
Take that back.
l'm not Alan.
Hey, l know you're not.
l care about you.
l care about you, too.
l'm sorry.
l'm sorry.
Yeah.
come on, let's go.
Well, well Hey, had a chance to look around? Absolutely, the place is great.
oh, your mom's made it feel like home.
Yeah.
Brandon, l want to talk to you about not coming to visit -sooner, l -You've been busy.
Thanks for letting me off the hook.
You picked up with your life and moved on.
lt's what you had to do.
ln a couple months, l'm going to have to do the same thing.
l only hope l can do it as seamlessly as you have.
You'll do fine.
Got any plans? Got a couple of parties l'm looking forward to.
And they say your generation's not motivated.
okay, fine.
l have plans, but that's two months away.
Right now, l just want to hang out with Tracy and everybody, and have a good time.
Wow, she's terrific.
l bet everybody loves her.
Uh, Val does.
Steve's a lock, and Donna loves everybody, so How about Kelly? What about her? Well, l don't know.
How's she doing? Fine, l guess.
Who's she seeing? What am l, my ex's keeper? oh.
Sorry, l asked.
Forget about it.
Hey, you guys ready to go? Yeah, what took you so long? oh, l was just giving you guys a little time to gossip about me.
-oh.
-Should my ears -have been burning? -En fuego, Let's go.
Second en fuego for me.
l know.
You know, when Steve and l go away, we always fight.
l'll bet Brandon and Tracy are at each others throats right now.
l'm not jealous, clare.
cats and dogs.
Hatfields and Mccoys.
-Arabs -clare? Well, l'm just saying it's a possibility.
Aren't you supposed to be at some party or something? clare? Meter's running.
okay, one sec.
Are you sure you don't want to go? l appreciate the effort.
l do, but l'm not going.
Yep, yep, yep.
oh, God! -oh, boy, oh, boy.
-Are you okay? oh, yeah.
Yeah, l'm fine.
l'm sorry, Kel.
oh, it's not your fault.
We should have thrown it out.
You are not going to let up, are you? Yeah.
once you agree to come to the party.
Yeah, come on.
open bar.
Lots of guys, spandex Great way to forget about the, uh, orient Express, if you know what l mean.
once more for the hearing impaired: l am not jealous.
Well, what's holding you here? Nothing now.
Let's go.
-Yay.
-l'll get dressed.
l think l got a splinter, honey.
Limo's here.
You ready? Ready as l'll ever be.
Wow! So you remember what you're going to say? Yeah, ''the director was fabulous.
My costar was wonderful to work with.
'' You're amazing.
Thank you.
Hey, kid.
Alan, what are you doing here? Ah, come on.
ls that any way to greet your biggest fan? come here, you.
Hey, there's somebody l want you to meet.
Your date.
Rob Andrews, -Heather Dixon.
-Pleasure.
Yeah, l just signed her last night.
Nice to meet you.
The vermin agents l saved her from, you wouldn't believe.
lt's a wonder why we can't see a halo.
Valerie Malone.
Do you work with Rob? No, we're just close friends.
Yeah, every studio in town wants a piece of her.
You guys are going to make quite an impression.
l'm sorry, l'm going with Valerie.
Rob, l got, l got an itch here.
l need for you to give it a scratch.
l said l'm going with Valerie.
okay, okay, all right.
Fine, why don't you ask the lady? l'm sure she understands how important this is.
Um, sweetie, it's no big deal.
You know, uh, business is business.
Yeah, come on.
lt'll be fun.
champagne's on ice.
lt's okay.
l'll see you there.
-You sure you're okay? -Yeah, l'm fine.
okay, come on, let's go, kids.
They make a cute couple.
Professionally speaking.
You know, the more l read, the more l'm convinced that my Dad should come home.
l don't know, Don.
Memory loss, poor judgment, depression My dad's not depressed.
lt says in here depression is nearly universal among people who've had a stroke.
How's my girl? Holding up, l guess.
Well, if you need anything Take care of her.
Look, Donna, l'm on your side here, all right? lt's just this is a big decision.
l just want to make sure you make the right one.
You know when l was little, whenever l got sick, my mom, she would run straight to the medicine cabinet.
But not my dad.
He always said that no pill worked ''as well as a little TLc.
'' And then he'd pick me up, and he'd put me in my bed.
And he had these little prisms that he'd hang in my window.
And he said they'd take me over the rainbow to the land of candy and chocolate.
And l always felt better in my own room.
So will he.
There's no use arguing with you, is there? Not when l'm right.
okay, fine.
Look, when you go back to the hospital, l'm going to try and get in touch with one of these, uh, support groups, see if l can get some information on in-home care.
Thanks.
For everything.
oh, please, come on.
What, you've spent, like, a year helping me through all my problems? lt's the least l can do.
Well, my dad specifically asked me to tell you he feels better.
Aha, that's two Martins down, one to go.
First, we'll work on my mom about bringing my dad home, then we work on her about you.
How's that sound? Like we've got our work cut out for us.
Hmm.
Excuse me.
l'm sorry, but you look real familiar.
Haven't we met before? Yeah, in your dreams.
Sorry.
Have l mentioned how much fun l'm having? can you at least try and pretend you're having fun? okay.
Hey, Steve.
Hey, how are you? -Good, how are you? -Hi.
-Guys, this is Heather.
-Hi.
-Hello.
-These are friends of Valerie's.
Who's Valerie? Never mind.
Where is Val? lt's a long story.
-Take care.
-Bye.
ooh, l can't wait to hear it.
Excuse me just a minute.
oh, hey, guys.
Um, have you seen Rob? oh, yeah, he's over there someplace with Heather, l believe it was.
Nice dress.
Yeah, it looks a lot like the one Tracy took to Hong Kong.
ouch.
This place is incredible.
lt's so unrestrained.
Well, you know, that makes sense.
You know, the Brits took this place over after they were at war with china for the right to sell opium.
And you said that she was the enthusiast.
Hey, hey l know an opium trading post when l see one, baby.
That's what worries me.
oh, these are beautiful.
The lady has a good eye.
Well, the illustrations are incredible.
What's the story? The story is universal.
lt's an old fable about a prince in love with two princesses, each living on a different shore.
Unable to decide which to marry, the prince would sail back and forth between the two.
one night, his ship sinks in a storm.
oh, that's an uplifting, little tale.
How does it end? He drowns in his own indecision.
Quite a moral.
come on, let's go over there.
Doh je, Definitely, and the buzz on Adam's Chjldren was great.
Talk about your scorching debuts.
Well, l just hope the film does well.
There's some really great people in it.
Yeah, and l can't wait to see the next one.
-What's it going to be? -Uh, that's lsn't he a dish? Uh, yeah.
Listen, Alan just gave me a message.
Something really big has come up.
Why don't you come with me? Great party, huh? Since when? Since Rob's friend arrived.
Director cameron crowe -was asking for you.
-l can't believe cameron crowe wants to meet me.
l love his movies.
Well, Alan sent your demo tape, and he totally flipped.
He wants to meet you right away.
Wait.
Where is Alan? l've got to thank him.
oh, no, you don't have time.
-come on.
-okay.
And you don't want to keep cameron waiting.
-Yeah.
-Good luck.
-Thanks.
-Have fun.
Hmm.
oh, excuse me.
Listen, take her to the Beverly Hilton, okay? Get stuck in traffic, and a lot of it.
Great, thanks.
Hmm.
Doh je, You know, l've got to hand it to you.
You sure know your way around.
Well, Brandon's mom and l didn't want to just be tourists here.
Just in time for the communist takeover.
Nice timing, Dad.
Yeah, do you think everything's going to change? lt might.
See, now that's the Jim Walsh l know and love.
communist take over, no problem.
Makes me embarrassed to worry about life after college.
The only reason you should be embarrassed is you've got nothing to sweat about.
You've got tons of options.
Having options and actually choosing between them are two entirely different things.
So, Papa Walsh, l've come You'd better make it good.
Don't ask what's in the bird's nest soup.
And find something you love doing, the rest will fall into place.
That's it? ''Find something you love'' Wait a minute, Wait a minute.
l came across 1 4 time zones and the lnternational date line for that? No, uh, no confucius? No, uh, no Dalai Lama? No fortune cookie, -no nothing, that's it? -Well l think everything falls into place after you find someone you love.
Well said.
-Hey.
-l can't believe my mom.
She won't even talk to me about Dad coming home.
Ah, come on, come on.
Before you get all worked up, l want to show you something.
l met with this great support group today.
And they showed me all this home equipment for people who've had strokes.
lt's incredible.
Look at this, a handheld shower head.
For those hard-to-reach places, a long-handled bath brush.
Velcro shoes.
Long-handled shoe horn.
And this isn't even half of it.
They have a whole book full of stuff.
check that out.
oh.
This is perfect.
Everything l need to show my mom that my dad can cope around the house.
David, you're a genius.
Well, not quite, but l am smart enough to realize that outfitting your parents' house is the least of your problems.
What do you mean? This stuffs great.
Put your left arm behind your back.
What? They gave me all the stuff to combat the problem, but they also taught me a lesson in just how severe it is.
Just, just do it.
All right, here.
Peel it.
All right, fine.
open that.
come on, we can do this stuff for him.
Are you gonna tie his tie's for him, too? of course.
Drive his car, wash his back? David Button his shirts? l can do this.
l'm sure you can, but your mother doesn't want you to-- and all the equipment in the world doesn't matter if she's against it.
Well, maybe it's not up to her.
Donna, if you use this stuff to lobby your dad and your mother finds out, she'll go ballistic.
Probably.
So what, you're gonna do it anyway? Look either l make my mom happy, or l do what l think is best for my dad.
And under these circumstances, l choose B.
All right.
Haven't we met before? Yeah, in my nightmare-- you gave me the brush-off ten minutes ago.
That was my evil twin.
l'm sorry.
l'm Kelly.
Pete.
What changed your outlook? Let's just say it's not enough that l'm happy, my enemies have to be miserable.
All right.
A toast-- to broken chairs that should really just do us all a huge favor and stay broken.
To broken chairs, whatever that means.
lt means let's have fun.
Great.
Let's dance.
No, let's not-- let's sit and get to know each other, huh? Sounds good to me.
Well, Kelly seems to be having a good time.
l wonder why.
Well, maybe it's love at first sight.
l doubt it.
So, where's Heather? Went back to the party.
-l don't think so.
-We had a deal.
Yeah, and the word ''floozy'' wasn't in it, not even in fine print.
l have made you a great deal of money recently.
And from where l sit, l think l'm the breadwinner of this couple.
He's my client; l call the shots.
oh, really? Well, Alan, let's review, okay? Um, you wanted Rob to do the movie, and you needed me to get him to do it.
You wanted Rob to come to the party, and you needed me to get him to come.
You may get the ten percent, but l call the shots.
ls Alan okay? Yeah, he's fine.
Um, he just, you know, was confused about a couple of things, so l straightened him out.
Listen, l'm sorry about what happened with Heather.
l forgot about it.
Don't worry.
Rings on zippers, suction cups under dishes, shower seats.
Wait-wait-wait, they've got lower beds, handrails, they even have a chairlift.
Everything we need to outfit the house so you can come home.
l'm not coming home.
l know l said that l would but l was wrong.
Um Look, l l'm sure that the rehab facility Mom picked out is great, but l really think you should consider the alternative.
l already have, honey.
outfitting the house is not the answer.
But this stuff is great.
lt is.
But it's not enough.
That's Mom talking.
She and l agree on this.
Do you, Daddy? Yes.
'cause if you don't, you should say so.
This is your decision.
l really appreciate everything you've done.
But you have a life, and a wonderful friend to lead it with.
You are not a burden.
No.
oh, no, l'm not, and l have no intention of becoming one.
What does a girl have to do to get a drink around here? Hello? Hey, don't you think you've had enough? clare, no.
come on, lighten up.
Um, hello? Yoo-hoo? Red wine.
And another greyhound.
Maybe we should go home, okay? Why, because l'm having too much fun? Kel -Will you excuse us for just one minute? -Sure.
You wanted me to forget about Brandon, so l'm forgetting him-- what's your problem? This guy, he's a stranger.
l'm just flirting-- it's making me feel better.
Besides, he's not a stranger anymore.
What'd you say your name was? -Pete.
-Pete, Pete, right.
okay, let's go.
clare, send my regards to Hong Kong.
Yeah.
Well, if it isn't the happy couple.
So, uh, any word on Heather? Not a peep.
She's just disappointed.
-Hmm.
-She's a real flake.
You sure know how to pick 'em.
Listen, l think you owe Val an apology.
l'm sorry, l was a snake.
But at least you can see me slithering across the room.
This one, she'll cut your heart out and make you think she's doing you a favor.
Well, coming from someone who's in the movie business, l guess l'll take that as a compliment.
-come on.
-l paid her ten grand last week to help me convince you to do your next picture.
What are you saying? What's he talking about? Well, he paid me to get you to do that movie you hated.
But you and l both know that you're not gonna do it.
You took money? Why didn't you tell me? Well, l was going to, but l-l just wanted to make sure that you knew what a sleazebag manager you have, and after today, l think you do.
oh, that's priceless.
Who else but a sleaze would use you to launch some bimbo's career, huh? That is a lie, all right? lt was for your career, too.
come on, Rob, you understand.
Sure l do.
You're fired.
What? come on, you know what kind of girl this is? Making somebody else look bad doesn't make you look good.
Yeah, well, think again, kid.
Because you need me a hell of a lot more than l need you.
No, l don't.
Listen, um, let me explain, okay? l-l want to tell you why l did it.
l'm sure you do.
l called the apartment-- the cab got Tracy home okay.
Thanks.
So, Dad, tell me how you feel about this, uh, takeover in Hong Kong? l told you, it'll be fine.
You're telling me that as my father; l'm asking you as my friend.
As your friend l'm terrified.
How about you and graduation? As your son, um mild anxiety.
And as my friend? l'm off the charts.
Kind of like you and Tracy.
l can see that she cares about you quite a bit.
And l care about her.
How much? As my friend.
A little less than she cares about me.
l think you ought to tell her.
-Why? -Brandon, l can see you still care about Kelly.
Dad, let's not get into that.
lt's obvious.
okay.
After Kelly turned me down, l, um l held on to the engagement ring for quite a while.
But then, a couple of weeks ago, l returned it.
And that's that.
Well, if that's how you feel.
That's how l feel.
of Course that's how l feel.
Why else would l bring Tracy to Hong Kong? Because l sent you two tickets.
That's not funny.
l wasn't trying to be funny.
l just don't want to see you making a mistake.
l'm not making a mistake, Dad.
l know what l'm doing.
Look at her.
She's throwing herself all over him.
oh, clare, let her be.
-l can't; it's wrong.
-lt's none of your business! At least tell me your last name.
Mm-mm, no.
-Why not? -Because after tonight we are never going to see each other again.
Hey, get back.
-oh, sorry about that.
-oh, my God, my ring.
Whatever it is, we can find it.
Now what? -Get back, get back.
-What's going on here? Beats the hell out of me.
one minute we're into it, the next she's freaking out-- she's too weird.
You have to help me find it.
Wh-What are you looking for, Kel? Here it is.
Here it is, Kelly.
oh, thank God! come on, l'm taking you home.
Mom? Mom? Where's Daddy? They're taking some X-rays to make sure that his lungs are clear.
He's doing so well.
He was doing better before you spoke to him about coming home.
l specifically asked you to not make an already difficult situation worse.
l just wanted Daddy to know his options.
That is so easy for you to say-- just bring him home.
You're not the one who's gonna have to feed him, to bathe him, to dress him.
Your life is not gonna change; mine is.
l thought the person whose life we were concerned about here was Dad.
But what difference does that make now? l mean, he's already made up his mind.
Mom? Mom you can do this.
No, l can't.
He's always been the strong one.
You're scared.
You say that like it's a shock.
l've just never seen you like this before.
All my strength and attitude has come from knowing that he would always be there to pick me up if l fell.
-You're not gonna fall.
-Yeah, but what if l do? What what if l'm alone with him and something happens? Well, you won't be alone-- we'll get a nurse, and and l'll be there as much as l can.
Boy, you have his confidence.
You always have.
You've always had mine.
So, you really think l can do this, huh? l know you can.
Well, then l guess we're gonna have to get the house set up, huh? You leave that all up to me, okay? You'll have to do better than that.
l'm sorry.
Look l promise it'll never happen again.
How can l be sure? l trusted you.
And l didn't violate that trust.
l always had your best interest at heart.
l'd really like to believe that.
Just let me explain, okay? Alan's a jerk.
He's only looking out for himself.
l mean, that's why l took the money, l mean, to show you what kind of guy he really is.
So l guess that leaves you.
What do you mean? You want to be my manager, Val? Me? Uh, l don't know anything about being a manager.
Now who's kidding who? You could do it, Val.
You could learn.
No.
No, listen, l-l don't want to mix business with pleasure.
Look, l could use the help.
l'd rather give you the ten percent than some shark.
You serious? You're all l got.
So, l guess this means that you're accepting my apology? Guess so.
Got your note.
l got up early.
couldn't sleep.
l negotiated a great price.
Why? Because l couldn't afford what he was asking.
l meant the book.
Why do you want it? l don't know.
lt just kind of struck a cord.
l thought we were past all this.
The wound's still healing.
You just can't rush it.
Understood.
Tell me l'm not tiding you over until someone else comes along.
You're not.
Because if l am.
You're not.
okay? okay.
-Let's go get some dim sum.
-Yeah! or something else.
Your work really shows.
oh, man, those prisms look great.
Thank you.
Well, the handrailing and, uh, shower seat are all set up in the bathroom.
And you put the ramp up over the stairs? Ready and waiting-- and anything we didn't get done, the in-home care people said they would have done by next week.
And my mom has nurses coming tomorrow for my dad to interview.
-Great.
-Yeah.
Well this looks great.
-l'm really proud of you.
-Thanks.
Sweetheart? oh, they're here.
Daddy.
-Hi.
-Yay! Hi, baby.
David! Welcome home.
Mm, l'm so glad you're back.
So, how's it look? lt looks perfect.
Beautiful.
You have done a wonderful job.
Thanks, Mom.
Hey.
Are you awake? Mm, l am now.
What are you doing here? Well, l just thought maybe you'd like to talk a little bit.
Hmm.
Not really.
Kel you got to give up on Brandon.
l know about the ring.
Yeah, you and half the free world now.
No, no.
Just me and clare.
And l know last night's freak-out was because you thought you lost it.
l just don't get how you got it back in the first place.
l bought it from the jeweler after Brandon returned it.
Well, why would you do that? l didn't want anyone else to have it.
Kelly, you got to get through this.
Why don't you take that ring and put it someplace.
Put it where it's out of sight, where it won't cause you any pain.
Will you do that for me? Listen, it's bad enough that you and clare know about this.
Don't tell Brandon, okay? l won't.
Promise? l promise.
Thanks.
Now get out of here.
