Friday Update
September 29, 2000
PREVIOUSLY ON AMC
Adam: "It'd be in the baby's best interest if Arlene stays here." Hayley: "With
the two of us watching you, you're going to wish you had used birth control."
Greenlee: "We're not finished." Ryan: "Yes we are, Greenlee. We're finished.
Do you understand that? We're dead."
Jake to Gillian: "You and Ryan were married, I know, but there are still
feelings between you, just as there are still feelings between you and me.
[NOTE: I notice that Gillian's voice suddenly goes "normal" lately when she is
saying something particularly heartfelt, as opposed to "actressy". Hayley is
doing that lately, too, as well as Arlene. Must be a new director in town]
CHANDLER LIVING ROOM
Liza stands in the doorway to the living room and says she thought Arlene would
be gone by now. Arlene says a package arrived, special delivery. Liza tells
her to take her package and leave and Arlene counters that Adam has a big
investment in it -- it's sort of like a joint venture. Liza scoffs at the idea
of Adam being in business with Arlene: "Is she drunk?" Arlene says she's off
the sauce, doctor's orders. She informs Liza that the doctor did a blood panel
with surprising results. Liza: "Liver shot?" She doesn't care about Arlene's
medical problems. Arlene says it's not a problem, it's a blessing. She starts
to tell Liza about the baby, but Adam interrupts her at the last second, telling
her that he and Liza have a date. Arlene blinks for a couple of seconds, then
says okay and breezes off to see Hayley to do a little mother/child bonding.
Adam glowers at her. Liza wonders what THAT was all about and Adam says she
doesn't want to know. She questions the "joint venture" and tells Adam to give
Arlene whatever amount of money she wants -- anything to just get RID of her
because Liza, Adam and Colby should be together. Adam smiles. Liza says she
wants that right now -- she doesn't want to wait. They kiss passionately.
Later on, the camera pans around the living room to them, still standing there
kissing. [As the top of the stuff on the bar comes into view, I wonder why
there are what appear to be 4 bottles of medicinal grade Listerine to the right
of the crystal decanters] They break the suction and tell each other that
they've waited all their lives for this and that their life until now has been
hell on earth. He asks if she forgives him. She says: "Love forgives
everything. And I love you very much." [I wonder if this means she has a
terminal disease and if they are going to make snow-angels and have hot
chocolate before he takes her to the hospital to die] Adam inhales deeply and
savors her saying she loves him. Liza talks about how, when they were apart,
she was prideful, angry and frustrated and she had no joy in her life [what's
Colby, chopped liver? Grated cheese?] She wants it to be like it used to be
[Deceitful, vengeful, manipulative and childish? Wait, that pretty much
describes them whether they are together OR apart -- this way they can at least
have make-up sex] More passionate kissing ensues and they fall to the well-
christened couch, kissing and making loud smacking/sucking noises.
Liza and Adam once again break suction and she pants her desire to go upstairs.
Adam, surprisingly, declines and pulls away. He says he WANTS to, and he HATES
spoiling a perfect moment like this, but they HAVE to talk about Arlene. Liza
says Arlene can WAIT! They'll deal with it later, TOGETHER. Suction resumes
and they lay back on the couch again, entwining limbs, but still keeping their
feet on the floor. As they start to roll, Arlene walks in (but they don't hear
her). She stands over them and watches for a little bit, then tells Liza not to
start something she can't finish or she'll end up like Arlene, in the family
way. Adam and Liza disentangle themselves and Liza sits up and rebuttons her
blouse, confidently telling Arlene to "bluff away". Arlene says it's true and
for Adam to TELL HER that they are expecting. Adam has assumed a Rodan's
Thinker position, then sits up and tells Liza it's true. Arlene chuckles:
"Isn't it GREAT? Your little Colby can be a big sister to my little baby!"
Arlene stares at her like she's got a potent yeast infection then turns to Adam,
who looks glum.
Liza jumps up and calmly demands that Adam tell her that Arlene is drunk or that
he's lying for her. Adam ruefully says it's true. Liza turns to Arlene and
asks who the father is (the implication being that it can't POSSIBLY be ADAM's).
Arlene says there's no doubt that it's Adam's and she's staying, at ADAM'S
request. Adam hastily jumps in and says that HAYLEY intervened and they thought
it would be best for the baby if Arlene stayed there. Liza turns back to Arlene
and accuses her of doing ANYTHING to keep her claws into Adam. Arlene says Liza
has it all wrong -- Adam found HER, in bed, and was so persistent that they
didn't even have time to use protection. Liza tells her she's beneath contempt.
She picks up her purse and starts to leave, and Adam puts a hand on her arm,
begging her not to let Arlene get to her -- they can work this out. Liza:
"Don't TOUCH me!" She turns and asks Arlene: "You think this child that you're
carrying is your ticket to ride? You're going to get exactly what's coming to
you. I promise you." Liza storms out with Adam running after her like a
lapdog. Arlene gloats. Adam returns to the room, having been unsuccessful in
stopping Liza. Arlene curls up proprietarily on the couch, wondering if Winnie
has stocked the fridge -- she has a sudden craving for pistachio ice cream. She
folds her arms protectively over her womb and coyly smiles up at Adam, certain
that her future has been secured.
SOS
As two professional dance couples twirl enough to make the Tasmanian Devil
dizzy, Hayley is pouting and Mateo asks what's wrong. As Mark Consuelos
prearranges his "surprised" face, she tells him that Arlene dropped the mother
of all whammies on her dad: "She's pregnant." Mateo's already surprised face
blinks in surprise. He can't BELIEVE it! Hayley sadly tells him it's true --
and she is BEYOND scared for that kid.
Leo is on the phone with Greenlee, wondering where she is. She says she's busy.
She's standing in some dark place. He asks to her come down to SOS and join
him, but she says not tonight and hangs up. Bianca walks up, still dressed in
her funeral attire. After all, SOS *IS* the official place to go when someone
dies (didn't Raquel take Gillian there after the first time Dimitri died?)
She's just been on the phone with Erica (because SOS is where EVERYONE goes to
make phone calls) and informs Leo that Erica is not thrilled that Bianca is
there, but she didn't force her to come home. Bianca says Leo has helped her
through the worst week of her life and she wants to return the favor -- she can
tell his mind is elsewhere and she's guessing it's with Greenlee. He pouts that
she just blew him off and it probably has something to do with Ryan Lavery.
Hayley and Mateo discuss the newest threat to her sobriety, i.e., Arlene's
pregnancy. Hayley takes a large glass of water to a table and she fills him in
on hospital tests and Adam's inclination to boot Arlene to the the far side of
the moon, baby and all, but that she, Hayley, talked him out of it. Mateo says
they have to keep an eye on Arlene and make sure she takes care of that baby,
because he doesn't trust her. Hayley explodes that the baby can't compete with
Arlene, who does WHATEVER she wants WHENEVER she wants. Arlene will continue to
drink and to shack up with losers. It's not FAIR! Hayley says she eats right,
takes vitamins and takes good care of her body and she STILL can't get pregnant
-- Arlene treats her body like a landfill and BOOM, she gets pregnant! Arlene
chooses that moment to interrupt them and ask if Hayley's told Mateo the news
and, BTW, what does a mother-to- be have to do to get a drink around here?
Hayley looks like she's going to hurl and MC looks off camera and tries to
discreetly dislodge something from his teeth.
Meanwhile, over at Bianca and Leo's table, Bianca tells Leo that it's OBVIOUS
that he and Greenlee have something going on. He says that's true, but it's the
DIRECTION he's worried about [well, there IS that new director]. He talks about
how Greenlee is all over the place, the highest highs and the lowest lows --
butter pecan ice cream sends her into paroxysms of bliss, but if someone cuts
her off on the freeway, he's the biggest SOB on the planet! [Hmmmm, looks like
it could be a "bi" storyline after all -- bi-polar, that is] "And get her
started on Ryan Lavery?" he snorts. [Meanwhile, the happy blonde dancer and her
wooden partner who counts all his steps are dancing so close to the table that I
worry that she's going to be dipped into the dip (but the dazzling smile will
never leave her face)] Leo is downcast and says Greenlee used to say Ryan was
the only man she'd ever love and now she hates his guts. Bianca thinks it's
Shakespeare 101 and Greenlee is protesting too much. Leo says that wherever
Ryan is tonight, Greenlee is probably hot on his heels. She suggests he go
after her, but he passes, preferring not to fall flat on his face again.
Protesting too much, he says she can chase Ryan until her legs fall off -- he
doesn't care! He's moving on! Bianca gives him a knowing, close-mouthed smile.
Mateo goes to the bar and asks Arlene if she wants 1%, 2% or non-fat. Arlene
says you'd have to PAY her to drink "moo juice". Hayley reminds her that the
baby needs calcium. Arlene simpers that Hayley is trying to take care of her
and her little sister. Hayley says it's too soon to tell if it's a girl, but
Arlene says she is hoping. Hayley: "Riiight... the daughter you never had."
Arlene takes a breath and admits to Hayley that she missed a lot of her growing
up. Hayley: "Blackouts will DO that." Arlene orders a diet coke. Hayley
sneers that Arlene will then pour a flask of something into the caffeine. Do
the words "fetal alcohol syndrome" mean ANYTHING to Arlene? Arlene snaps that
she's doing everything by the book ("the Bartender's Manual?" asks Hayley) and
has even tossed out the--. Hayley asks if Arlene shouldn't be home in bed.
Arlene grins like a Cheshire cat and tells Hayley that Adam has a date -- he
should be telling Liza the great news of the unexpected visitor right now!
Arlene passes on the drink and says she wants to get home in time to see Liza
leaving with her tail between her legs [oh, she'll probably have something
between her legs, all right, and the word "tail" might factor into the equation,
too]! She rummages through her purse for her keys and Hayley takes the
opportunity to dive into it and retrieve the flask that Arlene had said was
thrown out. Hayley: "Miraculous! Your flask has a homing device!" Arlene
said she WOULD have tossed it away if she'd had the chance. Hayley tosses the
flask to Mateo and walks away in disgust. Arlene looks at Hayley in a "well,
that was an unfortunate little moment" manner. She tells Hayley she'll talk to
her later, then leaves. Hayley grouses to Mateo about how they cannot just
stand by and let Arlene decimate this baby's life! Mateo says that doesn't have
to happen. They are going to adopt Arlene's baby. [He doesn't ASK her this, he
TELLS her]
As they walk over to the bar to get away from the Blissful Blonde and Count Two-
Step, Bianca asks about Leo's chances with Greenlee if she actually gets Ryan
out of her system. Leo says there's still no chance -- too much game-playing.
Greenlee has made the Battle of the Sexes an Olympic event! He needs a lover,
not a competitor! Their plan has failed, however, because Blondie and Happy
Toes are once again twirling so close that Bianca's hair keeps flying up from
the breeze. Bianca asks if he wants to call it a night. He says sure, but does
she feel like facing her mom yet? Bianca tells him it's okay, she'll stay and
call a cab to take her home. Leo says it's all right, he'll stay. In a
baffling [to me] turn, Bianca says: "Quick, call "The Exposer!" "Erica Kane's
daughter behind the eight ball!" Wouldn't my mom love that?" Leo: "All right,
I hear you. [Well, *I* don't -- 'splain it to me!] He asks if she's sure
she'll be all right and she says she'll be fine. What about Greenlee? He tells
her that Greenlee doesn't know what she's missing, then flubbs it and calls
Bianca "Greenlee", then leaves. [Um, what part of this will Erica get upset
about: a) Leo staying with a grieving, rebellious Bianca in a salsa pickup
joint late at night, or b) Leo LEAVING a grieving, rebellious Bianca on her own
at a salsa pickup joint late at night? Hmmm, tough call!] Bianca smiles
indulgently at him and watches him leave.
The world-weary Hayley asks Mateo if he's serious about adopting Arlene's baby.
He says he's DEAD serious. Arlene had a FLASK in her purse! What kind of life
would that baby have to look forward to? Hayley says she wouldn't wish her
childhood on anyone. Mateo: "Exactly! We're stopping that cycle!" At least
this way the baby will have a decent home and will be loved and cared for.
Hayley likes the sound of that. Mateo says it's not like the baby will be
alone, either -- they are going to have lots of kids so it will have lots of
brothers and sisters to play with (so much for THAT). Hayley thinks it would be
great, like MATEO'S childhood. She says he's AMAZING and she loves him. They
hug and Hayley smiles, but looks as if she's just thought of something.
Bianca wanders around the club aimlessly and sits in a corner. Hayley is deep
in thought. Mateo comes up and asks if she's thinking about what he said [no
she's thinking that the floor needs to be mopped]. He thinks it would work --
are they good to go? Hayley smiles, takes a deep breath and says they are good
to go! [Again with that "normal" voice -- DEFINITELY a new director in town]
RAPUNZEL'S TURRET O' LUV
Ryan enters carrying roses and bags containing the accouterments of trysting
(one entire bag from Dave's Candleria, no doubt). The mustiest pillows on the
East Coast are strewn about. Ryan wobbles his head like a sap and appropriately
sappy music plays as he remembers time spent with Gillian. While most guys
would probably instantly picture her butt naked and spread-eagled on the musty
pillows, writhing in unquenchable passion, Ryan remembers putting a ring on her
finger and strewing rose petals on the bed and HIM eventually taking his shirt
off and them falling to the bed. Still unable to focus on the luscious
nubileness of Gillian's body, he then the remembers another day with them
standing, holding hands and staring at each other, then kissing slowly and
passionately. Back in the moment, a knock sounds at the door and the music
mercifully ends. He calls Gillian's name and rushes to the door. When he opens
it, Greenlee flounces in. She followed him to the turret. He tells her to get
out and she says he's not giving her the brushoff THIS time, not after he RUINED
her LIFE. Her life? She informs him that she's being exiled back to California
to live with her parents. Greenlee: "Well, to HELL with THAT and to HELL with
YOU!"
Ryan tells Greenlee he's not going to go another 10 rounds with her. As he does
this, he takes an exceptionally fake bouquet of red roses and puts them in a
vase on a little table. A furious Greenlee picks up the vase and throws it
against the concrete walls. In a line straight out of Fatal Attraction,
Greenlee says: "I will NOT be IGNORED!" Her life is ruined because of HIM,
yada, yada, yada. He stupidly continues to prep the room for hot sex with
Gillian. He tells her that he owns up to his mistakes and she should own up to
HERS. Where did she get the idea that money could buy love? At this point, she
looks around the room and it dawns on her that Ryan is feathering a nest with
bright shiny things. She exclaims that this is where he and Gillian go to cheat
on Jake and he's expecting Gillian to dump her husband TONIGHT and meet him
there! He stares at her with the merest hint of grim satisfaction and an
expression that says: "... And?"
Greenlee yells at Ryan that he has no class, conscience or scruples. Ryan
incredulously asks if SHE'S incredibly pristine? She says at least SHE'S not
cheating on her husband on his first night back from the trenches! Ryan balls
up his fist and says Gillian is NOT cheating on Jake. Greenlee is momentarily
confused -- Jake KNOWS? Ryan says Gillian is telling Jake TONIGHT. Greenlee is
triumphant -- Jake is never going to give Gillian up without a fight! Greenlee:
""Welcome home from the war, Jake. Here's your mail. And by the way, I'm
dumping you for my ex." Get a clue!" Ryan saw them at the press conference and
he KNOWS how crazy in love Jake is with Gillian. He's fought for those orphans,
and he's not giving Gillian up without a fight!
Ryan informs Greenlee that he and Gillian belong together and if she and the
Martin's can't accept that, too bad, because living without Gillian is NOT an
option. Rather than saying "That can be arranged", Greenlee merely reiterates
that Jake will having something to say about it. Ryan says they may fight, but
HE will win. Greenlee mocks him for taking on a war casualty. Ryan says they
both saved each other's lives, so he and Jake are even (Ryan is waving the fake
flowers around). Greenlee: "Really? Aren't you trying to steal his WIFE?" He
grits his teeth and wonders why he's even talking to Greenlee. He tells her
that neither he nor Gillian want to hurt Jake, but she loves RYAN and wants to
be with HIM, not Jake, and it's not fair to anyone to go on pretending. He
slams the flowers into another vase [Hey, Dave, do you sell vases, too?].
Greenlee tells Ryan that they are really very much alike. He considers this
prospect to be frightening, indeed. Greenlee: "That's true. We keep reaching
for what we want, and what we want is almost always unreachable, but that
doesn't stop us. We keep reaching until someone gets hurt, you know? Sometimes
that someone is the other guy, but most of the time it's us." [There must be a
new writer on the staff, too] Ryan slaps his hand to his forehead and asks how
many times he has to tell her that he didn't mean to hurt her. She says that he
DID, though, and she set out to hurt him back. She shakes her head at his
patheticness and says that, looking around this little fairy-tale castle with
him waiting for his princess, she now realizes that she doesn't have to lift a
finger to hurt him. Jake will do it FOR her -- she just wishes she could be
there to see it. She clomps out and slams the arched, fairy-tale door. Ryan
works his jaw muscles and mentally pushes aside any obstacles to his fairy-tale
love.
THE UNRECOGNIZABLE MARTIN LIVING ROOM
Gillian sits in the rocking chair and broods, remembering pushing Joe into
telling her about Jake's erectile (THERE'S a word that Word doesn't recognize)
dysfunction (a word Word is VERY familiar with). Gillian frets (no doubt
thinking it's all HER fault), then looks at her watch and realizes she has to
call Ryan. From the living room of the Martin house. In her haste and general
nervousness, she knocks a leather bag off the edge of the desk. As she bends to
pick the stuff up, she finds an unsealed letter from Jake to her, written while
he was in Chechnya. TPTB continue to work overtime to try and redeem Jake after
the way he treated GeeYan:
Jake's voice reading the letter: "My dearest Gillian, it's late and the only
sound is the bombs falling in the distance. It's impossible to sleep, and the
loneliness is damn near unbearable. So I'm traveling back in time, back to Pine
Valley, back to you, and the first time we made love. I'm remembering how
impossibly soft your skin felt, the way your hair spilled across your shoulders,
the smell of your perfume, the taste of you lips. [I'm remembering that Myrtle
had to TELL you to do this and then she and Ray sat downstairs, sipped tea and
listened to you and Gillian having sex] I'm back in your arms, pacing my
breathing to yours, feeling closer to heaven than I ever felt possible. [I'm
remembering that Myrtle probably had to replace the carpet because of the
ground-in rose petals] Falling in love with you was a gift, Gillian, that I
never expected." Jake walks into the room and finishes the letter for her:
"You're my world, Gillian, my safe harbor, my compass on the long voyage home.
And I love you with all my heart and soul, in the name of everything that's
good, honest, and true. I live to give you my love again." [P.S. Please
remember to take the garbage to the curb on Wednesday nights, and for GOD'S
SAKE, put a filter in the bathroom sink so your hair doesn't clog the drain ...
AGAIN] Gillian sort of bares her teeth and stares at him.
Gillian tells him that the letter is beautiful. She asks why he never sent the
letter. [She's got a point -- a letter like that would probably inspire a touch
more loyalty than "tepid regards to my intellectually challenged wife, whats-
her-name" sent via his father]. Gillian looks away in guilt and says she
doesn't know what to say. Jake says her name [and now I notice what others have
-- he's incapable of pronouncing the Ls in her name -- where does he think he
is, Quebec?] He apologizes once more for leaving PV the way he did and wants
her to know it wasn't because of her -- he was just really mixed up. If he
could do it over again, he never would have left. While he was in Chechnya he
realized that there were two things that kept him going: GeeYan and his family
[well, mostly his family]. Now that he's back, he sees that she's given him a
purpose that he's never had in life. She wrinkles her brows and says so much
has happened. He knows they can't go back, but they can start over now, step by
step. He'd never pressure her [NOW, NOW,NOW!!!!] He's not going to give up on
her again, yada, yada, yada, work together, yada, yada, yada. She stares at him
like she's trying to figure out the instructions for installing a ceiling fan.
Gillian caresses Jake's face from about 3' away from him, saying there's no one
else like him. Rather than be pulled into an embrace, she sits down and talks
about how he took such great care of her after the car crash and taught her how
to speak again. He says he taught her too well and he misses the way she used
to mangle the English language. She goes on about how patient and kind he was
and how he asked her to marry him and she was so sure they were meant to be
together and then everything just fell apart and he lost Colby [I yell at
Gillian to BREATHE]. Gillian FINALLY gets a spine and says: "And we lost each
OTHER! Jake, you never even said GOODBYE to me when you left Pine Valley!" He
says he knows -- he was hurting and stupid. She says she thought that he had
stopped loving her. He just LEFT! She didn't blame him since she lied to him
and herself. She struggled to figure out where they fit into each other's
lives. He subtly lets her know that he knows by saying he knows it was really
rough on her with him leaving like that, and he's not the kind of guy that would
expect her to sit around waiting for him to come home and not live her life.
Gillian loses her accent again and says she really, REALLY thought that they
were OVER. He says he did too until [playing the guilt card] he saw life and
death in a war zone, with bombs falling all around and beautiful children dying
in his arms [where is a violin when you really need one?]. Gillian continues to
work on her arithmetic, now trying to count to 91 in base 7. She looks slightly
resistant. ... And that's when she dropped in and brought him home. She's his
LIFELINE [loaded deck full of guilt cards]. He knows she's confused and he
wants her to know that he's THERE for her -- she can just grab ahold and not let
go! ["BTW, GeeYan, I have something in my bag for the cause of those faces
you're making -- it works gently, overnight."]
Gillian looks pissed off and gets up to walk across the room away from Jake. He
gets up and winces in pain, putting his hand in the small of his back (but she
doesn't see it because her back is to him). He walks over to her and pets her,
saying he's said all he can say tonight and he's going to bed. He kisses her
hair and she continues scowling. He walks up the stairs like it's quite a chore
and Gillian starts to cry. Joe appears from the opposite side of the room [was
he listening outside the door?] and calls her name. She runs to the comforting
embrace of his arms. [Ray MacDonald thinks: "Is this job still GREAT or WHAT?]
Gillian paces the room and frets to Joe that she HATES what's happened to Jake
-- he deserves so much better, and it wasn't supposed to BE this way! She
blurts out, uncomprehendingly, that Jake LOVES her! Joe is surprised and says
of COURSE he does. Does that surprise her? Gillian: "No! No! No, he has a
TREMENDOUS heart [if not hard-on] and he wants to give it to ME!" She says like
Jake must be INSANE! They sit on the couch [and I wonder if that straight metal
belt buckle is digging into her belly]. Joe says that he didn't tell Gillian
about Jake's "injury" to make her feel guilty. Jake would be very upset to find
out that he told her, and not just because of his pride. She knows that. Joe
waxes poetic about how Jake has always drifted through life without a purpose
(and that's why Jake likes sailing so much) until she and Colby happened to him.
Now he's making plans for the future, and that's a first! Then he says:
"You're the one, Gillian. His search has ended with you." Gillian says she
just feels so HELPLESS! Joe tells her that Jake has one hell of a fight on his
hands and he can't do it himself, so it's a good thing she gives great hummers
[okay, I made up that last part]. He says Jake needs her by his side -- please
don't desert him! Gillian stares at him.
THE ULTRA-SAFE, IMMACULATE 24-HOUR BOATHOUSE
Leo walks in to brood. He spies a flattened rose on the floorboards from that
morning and picks it up. [Do the groundskeepers ever find used condoms in the
boathouse in the mornings?] He remembers Greenlee railing about Ryan and
getting back at him, then kissing Greenlee to shut her up. Back in the moment,
Greenlee walks in and tells him he looks far away. He says that he was actually
close. She says she didn't expect to find him there and he petulantly says he
wasn't waiting for HER. She sits down and he asks how Ryan is doing. She's
surprised he knows she was with Ryan. He says that one thing he's learned about
her is that she ALWAYS makes a play for the obvious. She says she scared
herself tonight -- she waited outside the loft for Ryan and then followed him
over to Wildwind. She doesn't know why -- she just wanted to make him suffer.
Leo, crossing his arms: "Did it work?" She says no, but she learned something
tonight -- she is OVER Ryan. She is really, FINALLY over him. Leo finds that
hard to believe. She doesn't blame him and says it doesn't matter if he
believes her or not -- she's out of HIS (Leo's) life, too. He does a double-
take as she explains that her grandparents found out about Wade and the $3M and
are sending her back to California, no joke. This is goodbye. There are unshed
tears glistening in Leo's eyes.
Leo jumps up and paces, saying she's NOT going to California -- she's not going
ANYWHERE without him! She says she's got the orders on high from her
grandparents -- she's banished to La Jolla, land of sun and surf. Leo says
they'll fight back and get them to reverse their orders. They'll think of
something! He'll get David to quarantine her, saying she has a galloping case
of Dengue Fever. Leo: "If that doesn't work, we'll go underground. We'll
survive on our wits, which,on the surface sounds scary, but we'll manage. We'll
assume new identities. I'll be Natasha, you be Boris!" She grabs him and
kisses him deeply. He asks what that was for and she says it's a thank you.
For what? Greenlee: "For being ultimately, wonderfully REACHable." [All
together now: AWWWWWWW!!!]
END-OF-SHOW MUSICAL MONTAGE
Greenlee and Leo kiss.
Camera fades to the Martin living room. Joe says he doesn't mean to pressure
Gillian [then hands her a cup to pee in]. Her life and her decisions are her
own, but his son needs her -- help him to heal, if she can. He gets up and goes
to bed. Gillian puts her head on her hand and worries.
Camera fades into a spiral above Jake's bed. Jake looks worried. One hand is
behind his head and the other is just above, but not quite on, his crotch. He
looks in the direction of his lowered hand, looks frightened and turns to look
at Gillian's picture on his nightstand. He picks it up and stares at it while
the background singer croons about being the man he has to be.
Camera fades to Ryan staring out Rapunzel's tower window, watching futilely for
Gillian to arrive. Dave's Candleria has clearly made a big sale today, because
candles are blazing throughout the room, many of them surrounding the now full
bouquet of fake roses on the little table [they must be fire-retardant]. Ryan
looks at his empty love nest full of bright shiny things and blazing sticks of
wax and broods.

At SOS Erica tells a guilty-looking Bianca: "You lied to me!"
At the boathouse, Dimitri sits down and says to Ryan (who appears to have his
hands tied behind him to the bench): "Tonight I was the only person standing
between you and a BIG mistake." Ryan appears to break free from his bonds.
Jake tells Gillian: "I've never felt so alive as when I do right now and I want
to show you." He bends to kiss her.
