Thursday, March 11, 2004 Katie has another problem that she needs Henry's help with, and her name is Pilar. Henry is having a drink at the Lakeview Lounge. Katie walks in and sits down next to him. "Thanks for coming, Henry," she says. "Yeah, sure. You sounded desperate, Peaches. You didn't run over another person, did you?" jokes Henry. Katie laughs it off and tells Henry she needs his help, "I need you to find out everything there is to know about Mike Kasnoff and Pilar Domingo." "What's a Pilar Domingo?" asks Henry. "Not a what, a who - a very mysterious who from Mike's past," explains Katie. "Ah, a female. Ah!" says Henry, beginning to understand. Katie explains that Mike once followed Pilar out of town, and she wants to know what she means to him.
"Okay, so what does it matter? I mean, Mike's leaving, and as far as I know, you're resigned to it," says Henry. Katie asks him if he can do it. "Uncle Henry can do anything, but can you give me, like, a clue as to why?" asks Henry. "All right. This Pilar chick shows up out of nowhere, manages to get herself mugged, shows up on Mike's doorstep, and now he's sitting at her bedside at Memorial like she's some bird with a broken wing," explains Katie. Henry asks what she's like and Katie says she's awful. "That gorgeous, huh?" he says. "Oh, she's demure and sweet, and I'm sure it's an act," says Katie, who insists she's just worried about Mike. "Why? He's a big boy," observes Henry. Katie says he's on the rebound. "Right, from you. So if he rebounds into the arms of some beautiful, quiet, broken songbird, you know, who cares? You don't want him," says Henry. "But that doesn't mean I want him to just jump in the arms of some ex-girlfriend just for some comfort and wind up getting hurt," says Katie. "And if you're not the one hurting him, you want to make sure no one else does, right?" says Henry. Katie agrees, then realizes what he said and tells him to stop making fun of her. "I can't help it," laughs Henry, "You're so easy to tease when you're such a lovely shade of green."
"I am not jealous. Why would I be jealous? I'm the one who wanted to go with Simon. I'm the one who pushed Mike away," insists Katie as she walks over to the couch. "Yeah, and now you're kicking yourself, because if you had begged Mike to stay, the two of you could be together, and this little songbird would be a non-issue, and you wouldn't be so possessed," Henry points out. Katie says she's not possessed, she's just a little confused. "Okay, whatever. But you can't keep holding Mike up like this. He's got to move on, you know, and with any luck, you will, too, someday," says Henry with a hopeful look in his eye. "I'm not holding Mike up, and I'm not jealous. It's just, I wanted Simon," says Katie. "Right. The heart wants what the heart wants, and in your case, it wants everything," observes Henry.
"I hate this," pouts Katie. "You hate that Mike is getting attention from another woman," clarifies Henry. "He was mine, Henry, for a long time. And okay, maybe I'm a little bit jealous, but if I'm going to have to hand him over to someone else, she better be good enough for him," says Katie. "It's your selflessness that's always drawn me to you, Katherine," says Henry sarcastically. Katie hits him on the shoulder and he laughs. Katie asks if he'll help her, and of course he agrees. He asks her what she wants him to find out. Katie says anything, especially what Pilar wants from Mike. "Katie, how am I supposed to do that? They don't keep people's intentions on record at city hall," says Henry. "You are the biggest gossip in the world. You know everything about everyone. Just find out what she and Mike meant to each other before they went to Spain and what she wants from him now," says Katie.

Transcripts from TVMegasite Katie: Thanks for coming, Henry. Henry: Yeah, sure. You sounded desperate, peaches. You didn't run over another person, did you? [ Katie laughs ] Katie: Very funny. No, but I do need your help. I need you to find out everything there is to know about Mike Kasnoff and Pilar Domingo. Henry: What's a Pilar Domingo? Katie: Not a what, a who -- a very mysterious who from Mike's past. Henry: Ah, a female. Ah! Katie: Mike once left Oakdale for her, and I don't know what she means to him. Henry: Okay, so what does it matter? I mean, Mike's leaving, and as far as I know, you're resigned to it. Katie: Can you do it or not? Henry: Uncle Henry can do anything, but can you give me, like, a clue as to why? Katie: All right. This Pilar chick shows up out of nowhere, manages to get herself mugged, shows up on Mike's doorstep, and now he's sitting at her bedside at memorial like she's some bird with a broken wing. Henry: Hmm. What's she like? Katie: Awful. Henry: That gorgeous, huh? Katie: Oh, she's demure and sweet, and I'm sure it's an act. Henry: I'm sure. Katie: She's awful, Henry, and I'm just worried about Mike. Henry: Why? He's a big boy. Katie: He's on the rebound. Henry: Right, from you.

Katie: But that doesn't mean I want him to just jump in the arms of some ex-girlfriend just for some comfort and wind up getting hurt. Henry: And if you're not the one hurting him, you want to make sure no one else does, right? Katie: Exactly. Henry: Uh-huh. Katie: Wait, no, wrong. Stop making fun of me, Henry. Henry: I can't help it. [ Henry laughs ] You're so easy to tease when you're such a lovely shade of green.
