Today's show continues where yesterday's left off. Katie
has just come home to the cottage and found an angry Henry. She chastises
him for barging into her home and accusing her. Henry tells her that she
left him to die on the island, alone with Cooley, with "not a FedEx package
in sight!" Katie claims that she called the Coast Guard but Henry
doesn't believe it. He explains how at first he was worried that Katie and
Simon had crashed their plane and died. But then he realized Katie never
dies, she survives crash landings and dives to the bottom of the ocean! So
he came to the (correct) conclusion that Katie had forgotten about him, and is
very angry about it.
Katie sees that Henry is angry, and jumps to the conclusion that
he must be behind the whole Dahlia mess. He did it to get back at her for
leaving him on the island. He swam to shore ("Swam? I built a
canoe!"), found Dahlia, convinced her to con Katie with the video scheme,
killed her and the lawyer, and maybe even killed Monique! Now she's afraid
Henry will kill her. Henry obviously has no idea what she's talking
about. Katie asks him why he's in town if not for revenge on her. He
tells her he came to town with a plan to become a millionaire ("rich enough
to make Lucinda Walsh shine my shoes") and he needs Katie's help.
Katie looks disappointed that Henry is not the one trying to
kill her, because that only leaves Simon. She starts to talk about snow
and lambs at her wedding, and Henry sees that as a sign to leave crazy Katie
alone! But she starts to cry, and Henry can't handle seeing Katie
cry. He stays while she explains everything that has happened since Dahlia
came to town. Henry points out that Simon looks very guilty, and reminds
her that he's a con man who first came to town looking to get his hands on a
woman's fortune. When he hears that it was Simon's idea to buy the cottage
in the middle of nowhere, he believes it was because it would be the perfect
place to quietly commit a murder. He tells Katie she has to get away from
Simon tonight, but before that can happen, Simon comes home. Katie makes
Henry hide so that he'll hear how Simon really loves her and wouldn't hurt
her. Simon walks in after talking to the police and tells Katie that they
have to get out of Oakdale tonight. Henry looks worried.

Transcripts from ATWTweekly
[ The Cottage ]
>> Katie: I don't think it's very polite to just walk into someone's home
and start making accusations.
>> Henry: You flew off and left me to die on that island.
>> Katie: I never wanted you to die! 
>> Henry: You wanted me to live? Alone on that island for the rest of my
life? With nothing but a hermit and inbred birds and not a Fed Ex package in
sight? What kind of person are you?
>> Katie: Henry, I called the coast guard.
>> Henry: You did not!
>> Katie: Yes, I did. I'm sure I did, as soon as we got back to the
mainland.
>> Henry: Well, they never came, Katie. I waited. It got dark so I figured
maybe there's bad visibility. They'll be there in the morning in their little
white shorts. But they weren't there in the morning. Or the next morning. Or the
morning after that. And then I thought, "oh, no, no, no. They crashed into
the ocean. They never made it to the mainland. Poor Katie and Simon --
dead." Oh, and then I cried.
>> Katie: Oh, that's sweet, Henry.
>> Henry: And then I thought, "No, nothing can kill you. You're
invincible." You crash-landed a plane into a beach, lived. You swam through
a school of sharks, lived. You dove after a diamond through razor-sharp reefs,
lived. You had the damned diamond wrenched from your hand, lived. Nothing can
kill you.
>> Katie: Oh, I wouldn't be so sure about that.
>> Henry: Which meant that you'd made it to the mainland and forgotten
about me, abandoned me to Mr. Cooley and rotten mangos and poor Simon the
coconut.
>> Katie: You know, those mangoes weren't so bad if you knew when to pick
'em. 
>> Henry: Oh-oh-oh-ah! [ threatens to hit Katie with Simon the Coconut ]
>> Katie: You!
>> Henry: What?!
>> Katie: You did this!
>> Henry: What?! What?!
>> Katie: The dirt, the Dahlia, the dead lawyer -- it was all you. Your
revenge for getting stuck on that stupid island.
[ The Cottage ]
>> Katie: You were so mad at me for leaving you on that island, you
decided to come back and get even. So you swam to shore --
>> Henry: Excuse me, excuse me. I built a canoe. Me, by myself, with my
bare hands.
>> Katie: Just because Simon and I are finally happy gives you no right to
come here and destroy it. 
>> Henry: You and Simon are happy?
>> Katie: Yeah, we got married.
>> Henry: Oh.
>> Katie: For real this time. We had a beautiful ceremony. And we are
staying married no matter what you try to do.
>> Henry: No matter what I try -- what am I doing?
>> Katie: You're trying to make me believe that Simon's gonna kill me! If
you would just take a little bit of that negative energy and do something
positive with it -- but, no. You had to go find Dahlia, have her make me an
exercise guru, and then --
>> Henry: Dahlia?
>> Katie: Dahlia Ventura, your new best friend. Oh, okay, so you're gonna
pretend like you don't know her now. That's great. Well, it won't work, Henry.
No matter how many dead lawyers you hang from the ceiling, I am not -- did you
kill Monique, too?
>> Henry: I thought I had sunstroke.
>> Katie: Monique, Dahlia, Jill, whatever her name is, and now me. Well,
you know what? I am not gonna let you do this. It would kill Simon of heartbreak
if you killed me. So it won't work, Henry. Don't even try it. 
>> Henry: Katie, I wouldn't know who this Dahlia is or this lawyer if they
were dancing naked on the staircase. Okay?
>> Katie: So you didn't dig up Dahlia and have her dump dirt on me and
Simon? [ Henry shakes his head ] Then what are you doing here?
>> Henry: I'm working on a plan that's going to make me very rich, Katie.
And I'm not talking about a house and a car and a time share in Vegas, okay? I'm
talking about big money. The kind of money that Lucinda Walsh will have to shine
my shoes. But I need your help. And you are going to help me, because you owe
me.
>> Katie: So you didn't come here to kill me?
>> Henry: No. But don't look so disappointed.
>> Katie: Okay, fine, if you weren't here to kill me, then that means --
it snowed at our wedding. Real snow inside the church. And there were lambs. And
we were gonna live happily ever after.
>> Henry: Okay. It's been great catching up. And we need to do this again
real soon.
>> Katie: You don't believe me.
>> Henry: Now -- now you don't start crying, Katie, because you know I
can't handle that. Katie, cut it out! This is great. You strand me on a desert
island, and now I'm supposed to comfort you?
>> Katie: You don't understand, Henry. Simon's trying to kill me.
[ The Cottage ]
>> Henry: You agreed to stage your own death? Why?
>> Katie: Because Simon said it would be -- would be the only way to smoke
out Dahlia out. 
She would believe that I
was dead, and then she would come after him.
>> Henry: And we know Dahlia's still alive because Simon says?
>> Katie: She's the only one with an agenda. See, Simon inherited her dead
sister's estate.
>> Henry: Mm-hmm.
>> Katie: Her dead lawyer issued him a check. I know because I saw it. And
so she thinks that Simon killed her sister for the money, which he didn't.
>> Henry: And we know this because?
>> Katie: Simon said, and I believe him. Which drove Dahlia completely
insane. So that's why she tried to stage her own death so that I would believe
Simon killed her to keep her quiet. And then she had her stupid lawyer come to
me and tell me that I was in danger and that I needed to come meet her so she
could tell me why. 
>> Henry: Okay, did the lawyer offer any kind of proof?
>> Katie: Well, I didn't end up meeting her, because Simon said it was too
dangerous. So he met with her.
>> Henry: Oh, he met with her? Hmm. And the next thing we know, she's
hanging by her pearls from the rafters? Are we beginning to see a pattern here?
>> Katie: Yeah. Dahlia. She hates Simon so much, she'll do anything to get
back at him.
>> Henry: Like fake her own death and then kill a lawyer? Katie, wake up
and smell the cappuccino. How many bodies is it gonna take?
>> Katie: Simon loves me. I know he does.
>> Henry: Yeah, Katie, in your world, people that love each other don't
kill each other. But Simon's in it for the money. We know this about him. He's a
con man. And let me tell you, cats like that don't change their spots. Now the
dead lawyer was right, Katie. You're in danger. We've gotta get you away from
hubby dearest tonight.
[ The Cottage ]
>> Katie: Simon would never kill me for real, Henry. It's all part of the
plan.
>> Henry: Like lying to the police?
>> Katie: You don't know him.
>> Henry: No, you're right. I don't know him, Katie. But I do know that he
came to Oakdale looking for a diamond. And that because of that diamond, he lied
to Lily Snyder, he lied to her sister. His marriage to you was a lie --
>> Katie: [ plugs her ears and starts singing ] 99 bottles of beer on the
wall 99 bottles of beer
>> Henry: Katie, I'm trying to save your life. 
>> Katie: I appreciate that, Henry. But the thing is, you don't know him.
He has changed. He doesn't care about money anymore.
>> Henry: Oh-oh.
>> Katie: Look around at this place. Look at it. Would some gold digger go
into the middle of the woods and buy some shack?
>> Henry: Wait, he bought this love shack?
>> Katie: Yes.
>> Henry: You didn't pick it out?
>> Katie: No. What?
>> Henry: Well, gosh, you know, if I was gonna off my wife, I think out in
the woods would be the place to do it. Katie, this is perfect for him. He can
hit you with a two-by-four, and no one would know it for weeks. Is that what you
want?
[ The Cottage ]
>> Katie: Simon is not trying to kill me, he's trying to protect me.
>> Henry: From who? The dead Dahlia? The dead lawyer? 
Or
maybe the dead sister, Katie? I bet she's a lot of fun at a funeral -- yours --
unless you smarten up and take the money and run. 'Cause Simon is not gonna stop
until he gets his hands on your estate. I know that's not what you want to hear,
but I'm worried about you out here all alone. Anything could happen.
>> Katie: I can take care of myself.
>> Henry: Katie, you are my hero. You really are. But you versus Simon?
You love him. That makes you very vulnerable. So until the cops figure this
whole thing out, we've gotta get you out of here. If not -- if he gets you off
alone by himself, he could kill you.
>> Katie: That's him. That's his car. You're gonna see how much he loves
me. Just stay -- get back there.
>> Henry: No, not until I know that you are safe. Come on!
>> Katie: Put that down! Go, get back there! Come on. Hurry. Shut up! [
Henry gets out of sight and Simon walks in ] Hey! What happened after I left?
What did the cops say? Did they believe our story?
>> Simon: We can't stay here anymore. Katie, we have to leave Oakdale --
tonight.
