Thursday, January 25, 2007 Henry shows up at the cottage to congratulate Mike and Katie, the newly happy couple. After Mike leaves, Katie shows Henry a letter from Simon, and assures him it doesn't mean anything. If that's true, why is she hiding it from Mike?! Today’s episode was directed by Christopher Goutman and written by Elizabeth Page.
Transcripts from TVMegasite Mike: What are you reading? A letter? Katie: This? No, no -- it's just -- just a bill. Oh, you know, should I have put the dressing on the salad now? Mike: It's fine. We're going to be there in five minutes. Katie: Okay, yeah. Is there room in the trunk? Mike: No, trunk is full. But we'll put it in the back on the floor, okay? Katie: Okay. [ Knock on door ] Henry: Uncle Henry here -- to tell you I told you so. Katie: What's that? Henry: It's a gift for the happiest woman in the world. If you had held out any longer, it would've cost me. Mike: You were giving odds? Henry: All in your favor. All in your favor. And everybody wins. You got what you wanted, she got what she wanted. And I get my life back. Mike: Okay, okay. I'm going to put the rest of this stuff to the car, all right? Henry: What is all this? Katie: We are throwing a kind of welcome home from the hospital party for tom at their house. Mike: Yeah. And we need to go. Katie: Actually, why don't you go on ahead? I'll -- Henry brought this all the way over here. I should open it up. Mike: You sure? Katie: Yeah, I'll be right behind you. I'll bring the rest of the stuff. Mike: Okay. Henry, interesting as usual. Henry: Hmm. As long as you're happy, my job is done. So -- so, what's going on? Katie: Busy, busy, busy -- you know me. Henry: Yeah, I do. So why don't you leave that alone for a second and look me into the eyes and tell me why you just got rid of the man you love.
Henry: Who raised this man? A kangaroo? Katie: What are you talking about? I think it's a nice gesture. Henry: His penmanship! It's awful! Mike has much better handwriting. I wonder if Carly knows that he's writing to his ex. Katie: Henry -- Henry: He's a felon. He's in flight from prosecution. And even if he wants you back -- Katie: Wanted me back. Past tense. He's with Carly now and I'm with Mike. Henry: All right. I don't have to take that back? Katie: No, no, of course not. Henry: It's a tribute. You know? A tribute to your marriage. Katie: What're you doing?! Henry: I'm saving you from yourself. Katie: I don't want Simon. Henry: Yeah, okay, you don't want Simon, like you didn't want him when you threw him down on the couch or the floor or wherever it is you two decided to celebrate. Katie: That was an unexplainable moment of sheer insanity, which would never happen again, because of this letter. It proves it. Not because of what Simon said, that he's happy without me, but because of the way I felt when I read it. And I felt fine. I was actually happy for him. I was happier for me because I have Mike back and Tom's alive and Daniel's safe, and I'm spending the night with my family and we're gonna have a great time. We're gonna play music. I'm going to play our favorite song. Henry: I got it, I got it. I got it, I got it! Katie: Toast. Henry: Please. Katie: Okay. So it's sweet of you to worry, but I'm fine. Henry: Okay. In that case, can you tell me again, why can't I burn that letter?
Katie: I just don't want to make too much out of this, okay? Henry: Mmm. Katie: And burning this letter would make it more important than it is. Besides, Mike may want to see it. Henry: I'm sorry? Say that again, please? Katie: I'm going to show Mike the letter. I just didn't want to do it this very second. Henry: Oh, okay. And that's why you sent him off to tom and Margo's by himself so you could talk to me alone? Katie: I didn't want to spring it on him just as we were walking out the door! He may have feelings about it. Henry: You think? Wow. Katie: I can't control Simon. He wants to write me a letter, he wants to call, I can't stop him. What matters most is how I felt when I read this letter. And I felt fine. And why are you looking at me like that? Henry: Mm-hmm. Listen, just after Mike sees the letter, would you please burn it? Katie: Yes, okay. Fine. What is this? Oh, a chocolate trophy? And dark chocolate, wow. You really know a way to a healthy girl's heart. Henry: It's an edible tribute, because you and Mike have been through so much and you're still together, and I think that makes you champions in my book. Katie: Thank you, Henry. Henry: Yes. Give me a kiss. Now tell me, did you need me to help you with something out to the car or was it just an excuse to talk to me about a letter that you're going to show Mike anyway? Katie: Good-bye, Henry. Henry: Aha! Ha! Ha! My case is proven! Katie: I'm fine. Go. Henry: Promise me you'll get rid of that letter, please? Katie: There is nothing to worry about! Henry: Yeah, yeah.
