On yesterday's show Katie and Henry discovered that Pilar has been hanging out with an ex-con named Russell Terry.  They broke into his room at the Wagon Wheel Motel and he caught Katie searching through his things.

"I'll ask you one more time.  What are you doing in my room?" asks Russ angrily.  "What are you doing in Oakdale, Russell Terry?  Con man, fraud, petty thief - am I leaving anything out?" counters Katie as she picks up the bat.  She asks what he and Pilar want with Mike.  Russ tells her since she's trespassing, he gets to ask the questions.  Katie warns him to leave her alone.  "Why don't you give me that thing before somebody gets hurt, huh?" says Russ.  "Touch me and I'll scream.  I swear to God," warns Katie.  Russ says she'll regret it, and demands he give her the bat.  Instead, Katie hits him in the arm with it and Russ screams, "Oh, you're crazy!  What did you do that for?!  Ow!  You must've broke something!  Help!  I think I'm bleeding!"  "Oh my God, are you crying?" says Katie in surprise.

Russ is cowering on the floor and Katie taunts him, "Not so big and bad anymore, are ya, huh?!  Why don't you stop sniveling, you wimp, and just tell me what I want to know!"  Russ begs her not to hurt him and refuses to answer her questions.  Henry comes back from checking out the parking lot and Russ begs him to help him.  "Hey, hey, you want to put the bat down there for a minute or two, bambino?" says Henry.  "Take it away from her, man.  That chick's out of control!" says Russ.  "Look at this - look at this guy!  This sniveling idiot is supposedly that scary ex-boyfriend that poor Pilar was so scared of that she had to hide from?  So threatened by, that only Mike could protect her?" asks Katie.  She tells Russ he doesn't scare her.  "Make her stop!  She'll kill me!  She's crazy!" cries Russ.  "Yeah, you've got the crazy part right.  So you might want to do yourself a favor and answer the questions.  Because once she starts swinging, she doesn't stop.  And K-Rod here, she doesn't miss her target, man," laughs Henry.  Russ insists he doesn't know anything.  "Bull.  Come on, just tell me.  What are you and Pilar after?  Are you after Mike's money, huh?  Are you trying to set him up for something worse?  Start answering questions or I'm gonna call my sister, the police officer.  And if you think I'm crazy?  She carries a gun," threatens Katie.  Russ says they're just having a friendly conversation, there's no need for cops.  Katie again asks him why he's trying to make people think he's threatening Pilar.  "Okay, I'm not Pilar's ex-boyfriend.  I'm no threat to her," he finally admits.  Katie asks him what she wants and he says, "She's got a plan.  Okay?  And that's all I can tell you, unless I cut a deal.  I want immunity, you got it?  I want immunity, and some cold, hard cash to get me as far out of this town - and away from Pilar and you as I could possibly get!"

Russ asks Katie how much it's worth to her to find out what Pilar has planned for Mike.  "You think I'm going to pay you for information?" asks Katie, irate.  "Listen, buddy, we know all about your record, so unless you want to go downtown and tell the police why you violated parole and why you and Pilar have been after Mike for months..." threatens Henry.  "Sure, go ahead and tell 'em.  But I'm not walking away from this empty-handed, and I am not going back to prison," says Russ.  Just then there's a knock on the door.  Henry asks who it is and the person answers, "Manager.  We've had complaints about a fight going on."  "No, everything's fine here.  We're all good.  Just your average American honeymoon couple," says Henry.  "Help!  Help!  You've got to help me!  She's going to kill me!" cries Russ.  "That wasn't smart at all," says Katie, hitting him in the leg.  "We have to get decent," says Henry.  The manager comes in and Henry hides behind the door.  "You got to get her away from me!  She's crazy!  She's dangerous!  She's trying to pulverize me!" says Russ.  "No, no, this is just a lovers' quarrel.  You go outside, you shut the door, we're going to be quiet from now on, right?" says Katie, still holding the bat.  "No, no, don't leave her alone in here with me.  She's crazy.  You got to get her out of here, man," begs Russ.  "Start talking or I start hitting again," says Katie.  The manager asks her to hand over the bat and Henry comes out from behind the door saying, "You know, sweetheart, maybe we can just do what the man says."  "What is this?  A honeymoon for three?" asks the manager.  Henry suggests to Katie that they  leave but Katie says she won't until she gets answers.  Russ tries to leave but Katie hits him in the back with the bat.  The manager says he's going to go call the police and leaves the room.  "Whoa, whoa, the police?  There's no need for that.  You know, she's practically a cop herself," says Henry, chasing after him.  Katie grabs Russ by the hair and says, "Come on, tell me what Pilar wants, or I will pull out every hair in your head."  Russ agrees, and says, "Pilar is going to kill Kasnoff.  She wants him dead!"

While Henry is conveniently out of the room, Russ explains to Katie that Pilar wants Mike back.  "This guy, Mike, he's the love of her life or something.  But she blew it, so she was trying to start something again, but Mike's not cooperating, because of you."  "But she can't have him, so no one else can.  She would rather have him in a slab in the morgue?" asks Katie.  "Yeah, that's pretty much what she told me when she called me.  It was just before I came in here and I saw you going through my stuff," says Russ.  Katie asks for more details - when and where.  Russ says he doesn't know any more.  The phone rings, distracting Katie, which gives Russ a chance to escape.  Katie rushes over to Mike's place to warn him about Pilar.

The police have been called and Margo has arrived on the scene.  She and Henry come back to the room to find it empty.  Margo asks Henry where Katie is.  "I don't know.  I don't know.  Last time I saw her, she was with that Russ guy," says Henry.  "Wait, you let her leave with that guy?  What are you thinking?  I mean, what if he hurts her?" says Margo worriedly.  "Believe me, Margo, if anyone got hurt, it wasn't Katie," says Henry, picking up the bat.

Today’s episode was directed by Chris Goutman and written by Lynn Martin.

[ Russ sobbing ]

Katie: Oh, my God.

Russ: I think I'm bleeding!

Katie: Are you crying?

 

Katie: Not so big and bad anymore, are ya, huh?! Why don't you stop sniveling, you wimp, and just tell me what I want to know!

Russ: No, just don't hurt me again, okay?

Katie: What are you and Pilar doing in Oakdale?

Russ: No! Forget it.

Katie: Did you forget how much it hurt when I hit you? Tell me!

Russ: Please! Please! Don't do it again. Hey, hey, you gotta help me, man! She practically broke my arm!

Henry: Hey, hey, you want to put the bat down there for a minute or two, bambino?

Russ: Take it away from her, man. That chick's out of control!

Katie: Look at this -- look at this guy! This sniveling idiot is supposedly that scary ex-boyfriend that poor Pilar was so scared of that she had to hide from? So threatened by, that only Mike could protect her?

Russ: That's -- no, don't hit me!

Katie: See? You couldn't scare anyone. You don't scare me.

Russ: Make her stop! She'll kill me! She's crazy!

Henry: Yeah, you've got the crazy part right. So you might want to do yourself a favor and answer the questions. Because once she starts swinging, she doesn't stop. And "k-rod" here, she doesn't miss her target, man.

Russ: But I don't know anything!

Katie: Bull. Come on, just tell me. What are you and Pilar after? Are you after Mike's money, huh? Are you trying to set him up for something worse? Start answering questions or I'm gonna call my sister, the police officer. And if you think I'm crazy? She carries a gun.

Russ: Hey! Who needs to bring cops into it, huh? We're just having a friendly discussion. Let's keep it friendly, okay?

Katie: You couldn't scare anyone. Why does Pilar want everyone to think that you're threatening her?

Russ: Okay, okay, all right.

Katie: Come on!

Russ: Okay, I'm not Pilar's ex-boyfriend. I'm no threat to her.

Katie: What does she want? What does she want?!

Russ: She's got a plan. Okay? And that's all I can tell you, unless I cut a deal. I want immunity, you got it? I want immunity, and some cold, hard cash to get me as far out of this town -- and away from Pilar and you as I could possibly get!

 

Russ: You want to know what's next for your friend Mike? How much is it worth to you?

Katie: You think I'm going to pay you for information?

Henry: Listen, buddy, we know all about your record, so unless you want to go downtown and tell the police why you violated parole and why you and Pilar have been after Mike for months --

Russ: Sure, go ahead and tell 'em. But I'm not walking away from this empty-handed, and I am not going back to prison.

[ Pounding on door ]

Henry: Uh, who is it?

Manager: Manager. We've had complaints about a fight going on.

Henry: No, everything's fine here. We're all good. Just your average American honeymoon couple.

Russ: Help! Help! You've got to help me! She's going to kill me!

Katie: That wasn't smart at all.

Henry: We have to get decent.

Russ: You got to get her away from me! She's crazy! She's dangerous! She's trying to pulverize me!

Katie: No, no, this is just a lovers' quarrel. You go outside, you shut the door, we're going to be quiet from now on, right?

Russ: No, no, don't leave her alone in here with me. She's crazy. You got to get her out of here, man.

Katie: Start talking or I start hitting again.

Manager: Okay, just hand over the bat.

Henry: You know, sweetheart, maybe we can just do what the man says.

Manager: What is this? A honeymoon for three?

Henry: Katie, we should be leaving, don't you think?

Katie: Not until I get more answers.

Russ: Oh!

Manager: I'm calling the police.

Henry: Whoa, whoa, the police? There's no need for that. You know, she's practically a cop herself.

Katie: Come on, tell me what Pilar wants, or I will pull out every hair in your head.

Russ: All right. All right, okay. You don't have to get so violent. I'll tell you!

Katie: Come on, then start talking!

Russ: Pilar! Pilar is going to kill Kasnoff. She wants him dead!

 

Katie: What did you say?

Russ: Nothing. I didn't say anything, okay? Just give me a few bucks, and I'm out of here. I'm gone. You'll never --

Katie: Wait, did you just say the word "kill"? As in, "Pilar wants to kill Mike." Is that true?

Russ: Who knows what goes on in that woman's mind.

Katie: Why would she want him dead?

Russ: I don't know! Okay, okay, okay. Okay. This guy, Mike, he's the love of her life or something. But she blew it, so she was trying to start something again, but Mike's not cooperating, because of you.

Katie: But she can't have him, so no one else can. She would rather have him in a slab in the morgue?

Russ: Yeah, that's pretty much what she told me when she called me. It was just before I came in here and I saw you going through my stuff.

Katie: Would you focus? I need to know more! When? When is this happening? Why? Where?

Russ: I don't know for sure, but soon. Very soon. She's setting the trap for him now.

 

Katie: What kind of trap is Pilar setting for Mike?

Russ: I don't know!

Katie: Then why did she call you?!

Russ: She's crazy! I told ya. She's unpredictable. If she finds out I told you too much, I'm next on her kill list. But I don't know anything. I don't.

[ Phone rings ]

Katie: No! Get back here! Hey, get back here!

 

Margo: Katie?! Where did she go? Henry, where is she?

Henry: I don't know. I don't know. Last time I saw her, she was with that Russ guy.

Margo: Wait, you let her leave with that guy? What are you thinking? I mean, what if he hurts her?

Henry: Believe me, Margo, if anyone got hurt, it wasn't Katie.
