Henry knocks on Vienna's door and apologizes to her for leaving her at the alter.  She forgives him, until he tries to give her the money back and accuses her of "moving on" with Brad.  She throws him out, and they're both miserable.  Henry ends up at the bar, where Katie finds him and asks him for a "favor," which is really a scheme to get Henry and Vienna back together.

Today’s episode was directed by Michael Eilbaum and written by Susan Dansby.

 

Transcripts from TVMegasite

Cameraman: Katie --

Katie: Yes?

Cameraman: You have a visitor.

Katie: A visitor? Ooh, is it a guy? Is he tall, dark and handsome?

Henry: No, he's tall, glum and lovelorn.

Katie: Henry! Where have you been? I've been looking all over for you!

Henry: I've been hiding. Which is difficult to do in broad daylight in a tux.

Katie: How are you?

Henry: How am I? Katie, I'm a cad. All right? I'm a louse. I took Vienna's heart, and I threw it right back in her face, in front of God and everybody.

Katie: Have you spoken to her?

Henry: I tried. But she was already with another guy.

 

Katie: Vienna was with another guy? What guy?

Henry: I haven't slept five minutes since the wedding. I've just been wandering and hiding, trying to figure out some way to make this up to Vienna.

Katie: Did you know the guy?

Henry: Look, forget about the guy. Forget about the guy, okay? Just follow the bouncing heartbreak here, Bubbles. I'm spilling my guts to you. I need some advice.

Katie: Okay. Talk to Vienna.

Henry: And say what? Honey, I have already told her that I don't love her, even though I agreed to marry her. What else is there to say?

Katie: Tell her what being with her meant to you. That she made your life better, made you a better person.

Henry: And break her heart all over again?

Katie: Take it from a girl who's been dumped quite a few times. Vienna needs to know that she wasn't in this by herself. She needs to know that you felt at least a little of what she felt.

Henry: I know, I want to say those things. I want to say all of it. I want to apologize to her. But when I went up to her hotel room -- I found her there with him.

Katie: Brad? Brad was the guy?

Henry: Yeah, yeah. Apparently he convinced Vienna that his body has some powers of recuperation.

Katie: Oh, she slept with him?

Henry: Yeah, I was up by the door. I was just about to knock. And I heard them.

Katie: Why would she do that?

Henry: I don't know. Don't, don't, don't. Let's not blame her. If she feels that Brad could help her move on, then who am I to judge?

Katie: Okay, well just tell me something. When you heard Vienna and Brad having sex together, were you relieved or did it hurt?

Henry: It hurt. It hurt. But not as much as I hurt her, though.

Katie: Well, then that means you still love her.

Henry: I miss her, though. God, I really miss her.

Katie: Henry, you need to tell her. Why won't you just go to her?

Henry: Because I don't want to hear about how great Brad was. About how easy I am to replace.

Katie: Oh, Henry! Tara, excuse me. Could I just borrow my co-star for a minute?

Female stage manager: Sure -- call me.

Brad: You got it, Tara. Thank you so much for telling me her name. I could not remember it, but you totally saved my life.

Katie: So glad I could help.

Brad: So what do you need?

Katie: Come a little closer? A little closer. You're such a disgusting pig!

 

Vienna: He might come back just like Emma said.

[Vienna remembering]

Henry: What is it?

Vienna: Isn't this just perfect?

Henry: It's ideal.

[Knock at the door]

Vienna: Emma? Did you forget something?

[Vienna opens the door and Henry is standing there]

 

Henry: Is that --

Vienna: It's the dress I was supposed to get married in, but then -- then I didn't get married.

Henry: No bride ever looked lovelier than you did.

Vienna: Thank you.

Henry: I want to apologize, Vienna.

Vienna: You do?

Henry: Yeah, I do. God, I wish that I was brave enough to tell you how I actually felt before we said those vows, before you put on that dress that you look heavenly in.

Vienna: You thought I looked heavenly?

Henry: Oh, please, you always do.

Vienna: Is your apology finished?

Henry: No. I wish that I was the good man that you mistakenly thought that I was.

Vienna: I accept.

Henry: What?

Vienna: Your apology, I accept it.

Henry: You accept -- thank God. Thank you. You have made me so -- you have no idea how much I've been -- thank you -- Vienna, you are the most generous woman in the universe, you are.

Vienna: You're welcome.

Henry: I -- okay, I've got something to give you.

Vienna: Oh, Emma Snyder, you're so smart.

Henry: What?

Vienna: Never mind, never mind. Okay, go ahead. I'm ready.

Henry: Okay, okay. Here is -- your checkbook, and your credit cards -- and this is all the cash I have on me right now, but I will give you all the rest of it back, everything that you spent on me. I just -- I have to do it in installments, because it may take a little while.

Vienna: I take it back.

Henry: What, the money? Good, I'm glad. This has been burning a hole in my pocket, I've been so guilty about this.

Vienna: No, my forgiveness.

Henry: What?

Vienna: I take my forgiveness back. I don't forgive you, Henry. I'll never forgive you for this!

 

Henry: Look, just take some money -- the only reason that you gave it to me, is so the prince wouldn't sue you. He has cooled off by now, I'm sure.

Vienna: Why? He thinks I helped steal the diamonds!

Henry: He's not going to freeze your accounts and throw you in jail, not at this late date!

Vienna: But is this going to help me mend my broken heart? Huh?

Henry: You know what? I think your broken heart has found plenty to keep busy.

Vienna: What?

Henry: Yeah, let's not pretend here, Vienna. I heard you and --

Vienna: What are you talking about?

Henry: No, see -- okay, never mind. You can have any guy that you want. You know that, I know that, and when you and I are walking out on the street, everybody else knows that. Now, you have already done something here now -- taken some steps to forget me --

Vienna: Steps? What steps are you talking about?

Henry: What do you want from me?

Vienna: I want you to be different! I want you to take money and get out! I don't want to see your face again!

Henry: Vienna --

Vienna: I never want to see your face again. Out!

[Vienna pushes Henry out the door, she leans against it and cries, Henry is outside the door and hears her cry and leaves]

 

Henry: Again --

Katie: No, no, no, no. He's had enough. Thanks --

Henry: Am I unconscious?

Katie: No.

Henry: Then I haven't had enough, bartender!

Katie: No, no, no, no I need a favor.

Henry: Really, I need a transplant of the soul, Katie. I'm an awful, awful person. I made Vienna cry.

Katie: If you don't want to make me cry, then you'll help me.

Henry: With what?

Katie: Well Oakdale now wants me to go up to this inn to do a piece on how to run a country inn and it's way upstate and it's in the middle of no where and I was just hoping that you would go with me.

Henry: Why?

Katie: Oh come on it will be fun. Like all our road trips.

Henry: Like all our road trips? What like what, the one where we got stranded in a deserted island or the one where we got stuck in a typhoon.

Katie: Okay I promise no typhoons, no stranded island. Nothing just good clean fun. Come with me.

Henry: Why don't you ask your on-screen partner the Valentino of Oakdale to accompany you?

Katie: Brad? No, he's too lazy.

Henry: I'd be lousy company, Katie.

Katie: It's okay. This is what you need right now. To get out of town, have a change of scenery, see things from a different perspective and I don't even care if you talk the whole time. It's just going to be good to have my best friend by myself, please. Please, please, please, please do this for me. Please --

Henry: Okay, okay, don't twist my arm anymore it's going to fall off, I'll go.

Katie: You'll be so glad you did.
