Katie and Simon are continuing the conversation they began yesterday, while Henry waits outside and peeks in the window.  Simon tells Katie he wants her to go to the Lakeview where she'll be safe, and she insists she feels safe with him, although her actions say something else.  Simon calls Henry a "chicken-hearted opportunist" and offers to drive her to the Lakeview.  Katie refuses, saying Henry will drive her.  She runs out the door, calling for Henry.  Simon runs after her as he hears tires squealing out of the driveway.

Henry and Katie walk up to Craig's suite at the Lakeview.  Henry drops her bags, tells her she's safe and sound now, and begins to walk away.  Katie stops him, talking about Simon.  Henry tells her that she has changed, she's lost her edge, her confidence.  Katie says she must have lost it in Simon's arms, "between a kiss and a smile."  Henry tells her he hasn't felt this nauseous since she crash-landed the plane on the island!  Katie says that's just because he doesn't know anything about love.  ["Is this true?" wonder the viewers.]  She says she opened herself up to Simon, she let her guard down.  Henry warns her not to do that, it's dangerous.  Katie goes on again about love, and Henry just looks confused.  He tells her he's more concerned about solid things, like a good martini and the bottom line.

Katie thanks Henry for helping her and not holding a grudge about "that whole island thing."  She begins to imagine how different her life would be if she still had that diamond.  She'd be rich, and she wouldn't have had to work with Dahlia on the video to make money.  Henry gets an odd look on his face and tells her "you can't miss what you never had."  He hurries her to the door, reciting his motto, "don't look back."  He tells her he needs to leave, now that she's "snug as a bug in a rug," and she goes inside the suite.

Henry begins to walk away but is stopped by Simon.  "How's tricks, Simon?" asks Henry nervously.  Simon responds by grabbing his arm and asking him if he knows what it's like to be on the edge.  He demands to know what he and Katie talked about on the drive over.  Henry insists it was nothing much and asks him to let go of his arm.  Simon warns Henry that there will be no more games, no more planting doubts in Katie's head.  Henry protests that Katie asked him for help, he just went over for a friendly chat.  Simon tells him that the next time Katie asks him over for a friendly chat, he should tell her he's getting his legs waxed and can't make it.  Henry pulls his arm away, saying, "My fingers are beginning to tingle, and it's not from the nearness of you!"  He runs away and Simon goes to the door.  But he can't bring himself to knock, and sadly walks away.

Later, in Craig's suite, the phone rings and Katie answers it with "Simon?"  "No," says Henry on the other end, calling from the downstairs lobby, "that's the lethal weapon cruising the hallway outside your door."  Katie runs to check but Simon has already left.  Henry tells Katie Simon threatened him to stay away from her and not to follow him.  Katie tells him to wait in the lobby for Simon and tell him to come back up.  Henry refuses, saying, "I'm not in the mood for another encounter of the Frasier kind."  He tells Katie that Simon is dangerous.  Katie insists he was only trying to protect her.  She says she has to find him and tell him that she still loves him and believes in him.  "Sorry I'll miss the tender reunion, Guppy, but I have bigger fish to fry," says Henry as he hangs up the phone.

Katie runs out of the suite and into the elevator to go after Simon.  [Whenever they show someone alone inside an elevator, something bad is going to happen!]  The elevator stops, the lights flicker, and a sawing noise begins above the elevator car.  "I can't believe this is happening!" cries Katie.

[ The Cottage ]
>> Katie: You're asking me to leave you?
>> Simon: No, Katie, I'm not asking. I'm insisting -- ordering you, if I have to, yes. I think you should go someplace safe.
>> Katie: What's safer than being here with you?
>> Simon: The Lakeview. Go to The Lakeview. Make sure you stay in Craig's part of the suite. There, I think, you'll be safe. You shouldn't be alone.
>> Katie: I wouldn't be alone if I was with you. You're my husband.
>> Simon: The husband that you've been running away from the last few days. See, I come in here to find you, what? Rummaging amongst my stuff, trying to find evidence?!
>> Katie: Evidence of your innocence.
>> Simon: What? To prove to Henry?
>> Katie: And to myself. I want to believe you, Simon. I need to believe that you did not hurt Dahlia or Monique or Jill or --
>> Simon: -- Or you?
>> Katie: I didn't say that.
>> Simon: You didn't have to.
>> Katie: I'm sorry, Simon. I know how I must sound.
>> Simon: That's why you to go to The Lakeview. I know things are really confusing right now. It's what Dahlia wants. She wants -- she wants you to look at me and not know who I am. I swear to god, if anything happened to you, she might as well put a knife straight through my heart.
>> Kate: Simon, when you say stuff like that, of course, all my doubts just fly away. I know you love me and you care about me more than anyone in the world -- which is why you and I need to stay close because I need to not forget that.
>> Simon: Being close -- being close is what Dahlia wants. She wants to up as a moving target. She wants to set me up as the fall guy. God, think about it, Katie! Think. If you get hurt, or worse, who's the first person the cops are gonna come after?
>> Katie: You.
>> Simon: You're afraid to be separated? Huh? Think how separated we're gonna be when I'm hauled off for life in prison and you're taken off to a hospital.
>> Katie: Honey, please --
>> Simon: It's not gonna happen, Katie! It's not gonna happen to you or to me. Now, until I can prove that I have nothing to do with this Dahlia madness, I am the most dangerous person for you to be around right now.

[ The Cottage ]
>> Simon: Oh, that is -- that's great. That's just perfect.
>> Katie: Don't --
>> Simon: Katie, that's great.
>> Katie: Henry was just trying to protect me, all right? He's not the problem.
>> Simon: He's not the solution, either. That guy -- he's a chicken-hearted opportunist --
>> Katie: I can handle Henry. I can handle myself. Just don't worry about me, all right?
>> Simon: How is that possible, when I love you the way I do? When you ran off, I nearly went mad.
>> Katie: All right, you keep saying that you're worried about my safety. What about you? Margo's gonna question you sooner or later. What are you gonna do then? Are you gonna lie to her, too?
>> Simon: That's not gonna be easy because I think she knows me too well.
>> Katie: So tell the truth.
>> Simon: The truth is, I don't have the answers! I was not exaggerating to you about going off to jail.
>> Katie: Yeah, well, Margo doesn't have proof. She just has circumstantial evidence and some suspicion.
>> Simon: And people have been convicted on a lot less. Why are you insisting on putting us both into danger? Why?!
>> Katie: Oh, great! Now it's my fault!
>> Simon: Oh, come on. That is not what I said!
>> Katie: Excuse me for loving you so much that I care about you.
>> Simon: All right, you love me? You lo me so much, you do? Then let me drive you to The Lakeview right now, where you'll be safe.
>> Katie: No. You're not driving me anywhere. I don't wanna make us -- what did you call it? -- "Moving targets."
>> Simon: Look --
>> Katie: "Believe in me, Katie. Go, Katie. Where've you been, Katie? Get the hell out of here, Katie!" Make up your mind!
>> Simon: All right, you know what I want? You know what I want right now? I've made up my mind. I know what I want. I wanna drive you to The Lakeview where you're gonna be safe!
>> Katie: Hell, no! So I can just end up in the bottom of some lake? Henry will drive me. Henry!
>> Simon: I'm not gonna take anymore --
>> Katie: No!
>> Simon: I'm not taking anymore chances. All right? I'm gonna drive you now.
>> Katie: No. And I'm not gonna take anymore chances, either, because I already did by marrying you. Thought it might be worth the risk, but I guess I was wrong. Henry? Henry!

>> Henry: Well, here you are, Katie. Safe and sound.
>> Katie: Henry, wait. Do you really think that Simon's trying to fool everyone?
>> Henry: By "everyone," do you mean you? 'Cause let me tell you -- this shaky, gullible, little naive thing that's standing before me, it's not the same Katie Peretti who braved sharks to go find a lost rock. The Katie Peretti I knew had an edge, a very sharp one, and you seem to have lost it somehow.
>> Katie: Yeah, somewhere in Simon's arms -- between a kiss and a smile.
>> Henry: Oh, Katie, I have not been this nauseous since you crash landed us on Cooley's island.
>> Katie: Well, that's because you don't know anything about love, Henry.
>> Henry: Uh-huh.
>> Katie: I feel so close to Simon, I can't imagine being with anyone else in my entire life. I've told him things that I never dreamed I would tell anyone. And it really is like what they say. It's like this circle, and everything inside it is so blessed. It's like this sacred trust. And you have to let your guard down for that to happen.
>> Henry: Let your guard down, Katie? No, that is not a wise thing to do, especially not for you.
>> Katie: Well, if I lost my edge, it's because I let my guard down so that I could really be in this marriage with Simon.
>> Henry: Yeah. There's always a flip side, though, isn't there? Why don't you fess up, Peretti?
>> Katie: The flip side is, I don't really know if I can live without him now. I have so much to lose -- so much more now to lose than I ever have. And you don't understand a word I'm saying, do you?
>> Henry: No, I just -- I believe -- my interests are in things more firm, Katie. A good martini, the bottom line. Don't let me interfere with your love quest.
>> Katie: Henry, thank you. You have been a major help. And aside from that first day, you haven't held a grudge whatsoever. You know, about the whole island thing.
>> Henry: Yeah. Well, hey, you said it all worked out for the best, right?
>> Katie: Yeah, I guess. Although, now I have to wonder -- what would my life be like if I had that diamond? If I had held on to that stupid thing -- I had it right in the palm of my hand. I would be so rich now. And I wouldn't have even had to Dahlia Ventura or her stupid video a second thought.
>> Henry: Yeah, well -- you can't miss what you never had. Well, listen, my motto is "don't look back." Anyway, sugar, I have got to get going, so -- there you are. You'll be nice and safe in here. Be good and lock the door behind you, all right everything's gonna be fine now.
>> Katie: Safe, huh?
[ Katie goes inside of the suite and Henry runs into Simon in the Hallway ]
>> Henry: Ah!
>> Simon: Henry.
>> Henry: Hey -- how's it going, Simon?
>> Simon: Is Katie in the suite?
>> Henry: Yes, she is. She's snug as a bug in a rug. Why don't you knock on the door? Why don't you see for yourself? You kids have fun. I gotta get goin' now, okay.
>> Simon: Wait a second. You know what it's like to be on the edge, Henry?
>> Henry: I don't -- I don't know what you're asking.
>> Simon: Just look --
>> Henry: Okay!
>> Simon: -- Into my eyes, Henry. Tell me what you see.

[ Lakeview Towers - Hallway Outside of Craig's Suite ]
>> Simon: What did you and Katie talk about on the way over here?
>> Henry: Nothing much. Simon, we talked about tax shelters and some stock tips and -- my arm, okay, I need that one.
>> Simon: No more games, Henry, all right? No more whispering doubts about me into Katie's ear.
>> Henry: She is the one that asked me for help! Remember? I'm just coming over for a friendly chat.
>> Simon: All right. The next time that Katie asks for a friendly chat, then you're getting your legs waxed. You got it? You are unavailable.
>> Henry: Fine. What are you gonna do? You just gonna leave her locked up?
>> Simon: Yeah, with no one around to feed little fantasies into Katie's ear, then she'll be safe here. All right? You got it?
>> Henry: Yes, I got it. Fine.
>> Simon: You understand?
>> Henry: Arm! All right, my arms. My fingers are starting to tingle, and it's not from the nearness of you.

[ Lakeview Towers - Craig's Suite ]
[ Phone rings ]
>> Katie: Simon?
>> Henry: No. Simon would be the lethal weapon that is cruising the hallway outside your door.
>> Katie: He's here? Hold on. [ Katie throws down the phone and checks the hallway ] What are you talking about? He's not outside and he didn't knock or anything.
>> Henry: I didn't imagine him, Katie, or the bruises on my arm.
>> Katie: What are you talking about? Did he threaten you? What did he say?
>> Henry: He said, and I am putting this politely, that I am not to come near you. I am not to call you. I am not to answer your calls, not to follow him.
>> Katie: Where are you now?
>> Henry: I'm on a house phone in the lobby.
>> Katie: All right, stay there. And if you see Simon, don't let him go.
>> Henry: No, kid, sorry. No. I'm not in the mood for another encounter of the Frasier kind, all right. So just call his cell.
>> Katie: He won't answer it. Just tell him to come back upstairs. I want to talk to him.
>> Henry: Katie, hello. Have you flipped out? He doesn't want to be followed. Doesn't that mean anything to you? He's up to something.
>> Katie: Maybe he's trying to protect me.
>> Henry: Yeah, that's it.
>> Katie: Listen, I have to find Simon. I have to talk to him because I want to tell him that I believe him now. I just walked out on him, and I can't leave things like that. Do you know what this feels like? It feels horrible.
>> Henry: Well, I am sorry that I'm gonna miss the tender reunion, guppy, but I have bigger fish to fry.
>> Katie: Wait, Henry, wait! All right, I can't let Simon go. I have to find him. I have to tell him that I believe in him and I understand.

[ Lakeview Towers - Elevator ]
>> Katie: Oh, god. All right, come on, hurry. I gotta catch Simon. Oh. No, no, no. This can't be happening now. I can't be stuck now!
[ Thump sound ]
[ sawing sound ] oh, no. This can't be happening. Oh, my God!
