Rose has just bailed Henry out of jail and is planning to leave town with him in order to get her father back.  Mitzi is trying to talk her out of it, as is Paul who is talking to Rose on the phone.  Rose apologizes for leaving the engagement party and says it was a matter of life or death.  Paul tells her he knows what happened to her father and asks if Henry is there.  Rose assures him that she's OK, she can handle him.  Henry warns her not to get the police involved, and to think about her Pop before she says anything else.  Mitzi twists his ear and pulls him away.  Henry yells "Ouch!" but looks like he's enjoying the attention.  

Paul asks Rose to tell him where she is and let him help her.  Rose says that Henry is warning her not to.  Paul tells her not to trust Henry, but to trust him.  He'll help her and not bring the cops.  Rose doesn't think that's a good idea.  Paul asks if she has any proof that Henry has Joe.  Rose says she'll call him back and hangs up the phone.  

Rose turns to Henry and tells him this is ridiculous, she needs proof that he has he father.  Henry tells her that Cooley is sending someone over with the proof.  Rose doesn't believe it, saying she's learned never to trust an old liar or to turn her back on the man she loves.  Henry tries to stop her from calling Paul but Mitzi drags him away, saying, "I may be hopped up on cold medicine but I can still take you down!"  "You think so?" asks Henry.

Rose calls Paul and he asks where she is.  Henry tells her that Joe's safety depends on her answer.  Rose tells Paul she's at Java, and to meet her alone.  

A messenger arrives, hands Rose a package, and leaves.  She wonders who it was, and Henry tells her she better be more concerned with the message than the messenger.  She opens the envelope and finds her father's St. Christopher medal that her mother gave him, he never takes it off.  She knows something is wrong, shoves Henry down on the table and demands to know, "What the hell have you done with my Pop?"

Paul runs into Java and finds only Mitzi.  He asks her where Rose is, and she tells him that a messenger delivered Joe's medal and two tickets to Mexico.  Henry told Rose she had to play along, so she left with him even though Mitzi tried to stop her.  Paul asks Mitzi to go to the police station to tell Margo and Lucinda what happened.  She does so, and Margo puts out an APB on Henry.

Henry and Rose get on the airplane and Rose sits down next to the window.  Henry is staring at her and she asks him what the problem is, does he want the window seat?  Would that make him happy?  "Tremendously!" answers Henry.  Rose says he got her diamond, her Pop, why not her seat too?  Henry explains that he doesn't like flying, and he would feel better sitting next to the window.  "Thanks for letting me have it."  "I'd love to let you have it!" answers Rose.  She sits down in the middle seat and is frustrated when someone flops down in the seat next to her.  "Is there a problem, miss?" asks the man.  She turns to look, and it's Paul!

Transcripts from ATWTweekly

[ Java Coffee Shop ]
>> Rose: [ on the phone ] Will you ever forgive me for walking out on our engagement party? I -- you know that I would never do that unless it was a matter of life and death.
>> Paul: No, I know everything. Nancy Hughes told me about your father being missing. Have you found him?
>> Rose: No, not yet.
>> Paul: Is Henry Coleman there?
>> Rose: Everything's fine, I promise. Everything's okay. You just have to stop worrying.
>> Paul: Well, Rose, that's just not an option. This is about that diamond, isn't it?
>> Rose: I got everything under control.
>> Paul: Well, I'm not letting you go through this alone. This Coleman guy is bad news. You can't trust him!
>> Rose: I can handle it. I can!
>> Henry: No police. And think really hard about dear old dad before the next sentence comes out of your mouth.
>> Mitzi: You outta be ashamed of yourself! You don't wanna know what's gonna happen to you when Mr. D's safe again.
>> Henry: Ooh, ouch!
>> Paul: Rose -- Rose, are you all right?! Hello?!
>> Rose: I'm here, Paul.
>> Paul: All right, tell me where you are right now. We said we would go through everything together. Now, damn it, let me help you.
>> Rose: I would, but -- he's telling me that I shouldn't tell you anything.
>> Paul: Well, babe, he -- he is not the person you should be trusting right now. You should be trusting me. Now please, trust me.

[ Java Coffee Shop ]
>> Paul: [ on the phone ] All right, Rose, listen to me. I will come and I will meet you. Okay, no cops. And we will deal with this thing together.
>> Rose: I don't know if that's such a good idea.
>> Paul: Have you even talked to your father? I mean, do you even know for sure that Henry really has him?
>> Rose: Now that you mention it -- no.
>> Paul: All right, just tell me where you are, Rose.
>> Rose: I'll call you back. [ Hangs up and turns to Henry ] Do you know how crazy this is? My fiancé is worried sick that I'm gonna be taken off on the night of our engagement party. And I cannot do that to him!
>> Henry: Well, you will do it to him if you wanna see your father again.
>> Rose: You know what? I got your whatchamacallit, the provenance for the diamond, right? This is what you wanted, right? This is what you wanted. I got it right here. But then I'm supposed to get proof that my pop is still alive and he's doing fine. I got bupkes!
>> Mitzi: Rose, do you really think your father's in serious danger?
>> Rose: I don't know. This guy right here -- maybe, maybe not. This guy tells so many stories, I don't know what's real on him or not.
>> Henry: Cooley's sending someone over as we speak, all right. You'll have your proof. I'm telling the truth!
>> Rose: I make it a habit never to trust a known liar, and to never turn my back on a man who would give his life for me.
>> Henry: What do you think you're doing?
>> Rose: I'm calling my fiancé, Paul Ryan
>> Mitzi: Hey! Don't you push it, pal. I may be hopped on cold medicine, but I can still take you down!
>> Henry: Oh, you think so?
>> Mitzi: Yes.
>> Rose: Here's another thing -- you call those people who supposedly have my father, and you tell them, let him go. 'Cause when Paul gets here, he's gonna rip that head off that scrawny, little neck of yours. Paul, it's me.
>> Paul: Rose? Rose, tell me where you are. Talk to me.
>> Henry: What's he saying now?
>> Rose: He wants to know where I am, obviously.
>> Henry: Well, your safety depends on your answer, Rose. Be smart.
>> Rose: I'm at Java -- upstairs in the coffee shop. Come alone.
>> Paul: I'm on my way.
>> Henry: Oh, you're gonna wish you hadn't done that.
>> Messenger: Rose D'Angelo?
>> Rose: Who wants to know?
>> Messenger: This is for you. Have a nice night.
>> Mitzi: Who was that?
>> Henry: If I was you, I would stop worrying about the messenger and worry about the message.
>> Rose: Oh! Oh, my God!
>> Mitzi: What is it, Rose?
>> Rose: It's my pop's St. Christopher medal. My mom gave it to him, and he's never taken it off in his life.
>> Henry: What the --
>> Rose: What the hell have you done with my pop?

[ Java Coffee Shop ]
>> Paul: Mitzi? Mitzi, where is she?
>> Mitzi: Oh, I tried to stop her, I did. But she's gone.
>> Paul: What? With Henry? When?
>> Mitzi: They left a few minutes ago. Maybe you can --
>> Paul: Mitzi -- what the hell's happening here?
>> Mitzi: Well, Rose kept asking for proof that her pop was safe. Coleman said somebody was sending it. And then a messenger showed up with a package. Rose opened it, and inside was her pop's St. Christopher medal, which he never takes off, and two plane tickets.
>> Paul: To where? Where?
>> Mitzi: Mexico. Henry said, if she didn't play along, that -- that it was for her own good if she would just play along. And I tried to stop her, I did.
>> Paul: Mitzi, Mitzi, Mitzi, calm down. Please, just calm down. I need you to do one thing for me, though, okay?
>> Mitzi: Anything.
>> Paul: Go down to the police station, tell Lucinda and Margo everything you just told me. Okay?
>> Mitzi: I couldn't just call? I gotta go face to face with the dragon lady?
>> Paul: Lucinda won't bite, okay? Not at least until after she hears the whole story, okay? And trust me -- it's the fastest way, it's the quickest way to save Rose, too.
>> Mitzi: Where are you going?

[ Onboard a Plane ]
>> Rose: You know, you're headed for a big fat lip to match that big fat mouth of yours. What is the matter with you? What, you want my window seat? Would that make you happy?
>> Henry: Tremendously.
>> Rose: Take it! Fine, take it. You know what? You took my pop, you took my diamond, you might as well take my seat, too. Move over.
>> Henry: Hello. I just -- I don't like flying. But if I have the window seat, you know -- thank you for letting me have it.
>> Rose: Oh, I would love to let you have it, believe me.
>> Pilot: Flight attendants, please prepare the cab and secure the doors. We're clear for takeoff.
[ Paul slips into the seat next to Rose ]
>> Rose: This is good. This is good. Be sandwiched the whole way, the whole trip.
>> Paul: Problem, Miss? Hello.
