Friday, June 25, 2004 Katie's good-bye party continues as Tom and Margo argue and the guest of honor is kidnapped! Tom and Margo are arguing loudly in the kitchen, disturbing the guests. Henry, with Simon behind him, interrupts them with an offer of cheese and crackers. "Get lost, Henry," snaps Margo. "That's an excellent idea," agrees Henry. "Listen, Tom -- look, I really don't want to interfere here, but this is Katie's last night," says Simon. "Yeah, so neutral corners, kids," says Henry. "No problem! I'm leaving anyway," yells Tom. "I am, too," says Margo, following outside.
The party continues after the interruption. Katie has gone upstairs to feed Snickers and hasn't returned, causing Simon to worry. "Listen, mate, can you do me a favor? Can you run up and see where Katie's at?" Simon asks Henry. Henry runs upstairs looking for Katie, calling, "Hey, Bubbles, your presence is requested. Katie, come out, come out, wherever you are." He sees Snickers alone on the bed. "Hey. Hey, who let you out, huh? Snickers, have you seen Katie? You know, I hate to tell you this, but you are no Lassie," says Henry when he doesn't answer. Simon comes up to see if Simon has found her. "Where is she?" he asks. "I don't know. I just asked Snickers the same question," says Henry. "Did you take him out of his cage?" asks Simon. "No, that's how I found him," answers Henry. "Did you open this window?" asks Simon, getting more and more worried. "No, Katie must have," answers Henry. "All right, where the hell is she, man?" asks Simon, panicked. "I don't know. I don't know. But you're giving me a really bad feeling about this," says Henry. "Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" he asks. "Pilar," agrees Simon.
Henry calls Katie's cell phone but she doesn't answer. "There are two sets of footprints, but the car is still here," reports Simon, coming back to the bedroom after looking around outside. Henry starts to call the cops but Simon tells him to stop. "Simon, wait. Simon, wait a second. If Pilar really does have Katie..." protests Henry. "If Pilar does have Katie, and the cops come in there with sirens, she'll panic. Please, just go downstairs, tell the guests Katie's sick, tell them anything. And I'm gonna go after Pilar," says Simon. "No, listen, we need dogs. We need search teams," says Henry. "Damn it, Henry, do not argue with me. I'm going to bring Katie home. You stay here," orders Simon. "No. No, I'm not. If Katie's in danger, I'm coming with you," insists Henry. "Just do what I say, okay?" says Simon, running out. Frustrated, Henry calls Mike. "Mike, this is Henry. I need you at the cottage. It's an emergency."
Henry goes back downstairs to the party wearing a fake smile. "Hi -- I'm sorry, people. Katie feels just awful -- awful about this. But I think it must be like a 24-hour bug," says Henry. Dr. Bob offers to take a look at her, but Henry says she's sleeping. Nancy asks where Simon has gone. "Simon -- Simon is -- Simon went to the drug store," lies Henry. Mike rushes in and asks Henry what's going on. "A moment, please?" asks Henry as he leads Mike away from the crowd.
Back in the kitchen, Mike says, "What, Henry? You got me over here like the house was on fire. What's going on?" "Pilar has Katie," answers Henry. "What? Are you sure?" asks Mike. "No, no, we're not sure. But she disappeared from the party. We went up to her room. It was completely empty, the window was wide open. Simon went outside and found two sets of footprints," explains Henry. Mike asks where Simon is and Henry says he went to find her. Mike asks if they called the cops and Henry answers, "No, no, no. He said it would push Pilar over the edge, and that's not a very long trip." "Maybe I can help," says Mike as he calls Pilar on her cell phone.
Meanwhile, Pilar has taken Katie to the abandoned boathouse near Mike's cottage and is threatening to kill her. Her cell phone rings. "It's Michael. Any last words, Katie? I didn't expect to hear from you so soon," she says. "Pilar, don't do this. Don't hurt Katie," begs Mike. "Why must you always think the worst of me? Be happy, Michael. Very soon, you'll be able to look out your window and remember where Katie spent her final moments," says Pilar, hanging up the phone. "Where is she?" asks Henry as Mike hangs up. Mike tells Henry to call the cops. "No, no, no. Simon said..." begins Henry. "The hell with Simon. I tell you what. You go out and tell the cops to go out to my place, about 100 yards before they get there they're going to see this old abandoned boathouse. It's been sitting on Lucinda's property forever. You can't miss it. You got that?" asks Mike. "Yeah, yeah, yeah. Boathouse. Go, go, hurry," says Henry.
Everyone has left the party except for Nancy, Chris, and Alison. Chris offers to go check on Katie. "No, no. She's fine. She actually feeling a lot better," says Henry, making himself a martini. "Look, Henry, Mike showed up, he ran out of here. Simon's gone. Okay, if there's a problem, we want to help," says Chris. Alison asks if Katie is worse. "If by worse, you mean being kidnapped by a sicko," says Henry. "What? Katie's been kidnapped?" asks Chris. "Yeah, by Pilar Domingo," answers Henry. Nancy asks if he called Margo. "Yes, yes, we've already called her. And Mike is out looking for her, too. Hopefully they found her by now," says Henry.
Back at the boathouse, Katie is trying to stall. Mike arrives and Pilar turns to him. Katie grabs a net and pulls it over Pilar's face, throwing her down. She backs away and Mike goes to check on her, and discovers that she's fallen on her knife. She's dead! Simon arrives to find Katie crying in Mike's arms. They tell him what happened, and Margo and the cops arrive. Simon takes Katie home, and she asks Margo to call Henry. "I have never been so happy to hear from Oakdale's finest. Thank you, Margo. Thank you. 10-4, over and out. Ding dong, the witch is dead and Dorothy's coming home, Toto," says Henry happily as he takes Snickers from Alison. "I'm so glad Katie's all right," says Nancy. The guests leave Henry alone with Snickers. "We're going top shelf tonight, darling. Hmm? Romaine and peeled carrots. Mommy is coming home," says Henry, kissing the rabbit.
Katie is home and in Henry's arms. "You were right about her all along, Bubbles. That woman was out there where the buses don't run," he says. "Yeah, well, I didn't want her to die, Henry. Thank God you called Mike when you did," says Katie. "And Simon -- Simon was right there ready to do the hero thing the whole time," says Henry supportively. "It's fine. Thanks, Henry. Listen, do you mind grabbing Katie a cup of tea?" asks Simon. "Sure. Tea -- how about something from Java with some extra whipped cream," suggests Henry. "No, no, no, no. I don't want you to leave, please. This is our last night before we go to Australia," pleads Katie. "Then it's my last night to treat you like a princess. They may be short on lattes out in the outback. I won't be long. I promise," says Henry as he goes to get the coffee. Alone, Simon tells Katie maybe they should go to Australia right away. Katie becomes suspicious at Simon's sudden change of heart. She tells him that Pilar said awful things about him and acted like she hated him, and asks him why Pilar would have done that.
