Wednesday, July 19, 2006 Maddie is at the police station after vandalizing Lia's car with a butcher knife. Margo is trying to get her to talk about what happened to her in Chicago when Henry comes in. He's upset with Maddie about the vandalism, not realizing something else is going on. Henry and Maddie's sister Eve, Maddie's legal guardian from Chicago, arrives, as does Office Griffin. Maddie finally admits that when she was living with Eve in Chicago, she went to a frat party where someone slipped something into her drink. She remembers trying to fight off a guy, and then waking up in the ER. Margo encourages her to try to remember more details, but she insists she can't remember. Today’s episode was directed by Maria Wagner and written by Judith Donato.
Transcripts from TVMegasite Margo: That's why I confided in you, Maddie, because I thought if you knew about my experience, it would help you to tell me what had happened to you. But you didn't talk to me. You started acting out in all this strange, self-destructive behavior. So, now, as your friend, I can't beat around the bush. Maddie, I think that you were sexually assaulted. And the memory of that has come back to haunt you for some reason. And it is making you desperately, desperately unhappy. Its okay, Baby, you can cry. Maddie, you are a intelligent, strong, beautiful young woman, but the memory of this, the pain is so deep inside of you that it's making you do all sorts of strange things, and that's why you slashed the seats of Lia’s car. That's why you started the fire in crash. Maddie: Can I just pay what I have to pay and go home? Please? Margo: Well, I'd like to do that, but I don't see how I can. What's gonna happen next time? Maddie: There's not gonna be a next time, Margo. Lia is Lia. Margo: All right, I understand -- you're not a fan. Maddie: I mean, she thinks she's all that and -- okay, yeah, maybe I went a little psycho on her car. I'm sorry. Margo: Honey, listen to me, what happened in Chicago was not your fault. You don't have to walk around with this the rest of your life. Just open up to me. Let me help you. Just tell me what happened and then we can get through this together. Henry: Yeah, why don't you tell me, too, while you're at it? Okay, young lady? Because you are in so much hot water, you won't have to bathe for a week.
Margo: I'm sorry, Henry, could you just give us a few minutes here? Maddie: I want him to stay. Henry: Why is this, Maddie? Margo tells me you vandalized a car. Why would you do that? Maddie: I was angry. Henry: You were angry? Angry is calling someone a bonehead. What, did you key the car, did you throw eggs at it? What? Margo: No, Henry. A knife. Maddie: I'm sorry, Henry. I don't even know why I did it. I don't remember -- Margo: We'll just try to sort some things out. Eve: Sort what things out, Detective? Maddie: Eve! Eve: Honey, are you all right? I missed you so much. Maddie: Me, too. Eve: Everything's okay now. Henry: Eve Browning, this is Detective Margo Hughes. This is my sister, Eve. Margo: Very nice to meet you. I'm sorry about the circumstances. Eve: Hughes? Henry: Yeah, as in the ex-boyfriend. Eve: Casey, right? Margo: That's right. Eve: I came as soon as Henry called. Maddie: Henry, you shouldn't have done that. Eve: Honey, this is where I belong. I wish I would have never let you leave Chicago. Maddie: Please, don't start that again. Margo: I'm gonna give you guys a minute, okay? Henry: Thank you. Thank you, Margo. Margo: I'll be right outside if you need me. Eve: She seems very nice. Henry: Yeah. Yeah, she's top notch. I should know. Eve: What's going on, Henry? Maddie: I'm a total loser. That's what's going on. Henry: No, you're not -- hey, hey, you're not a loser. You just took out your anger on another woman's car. Eve: Are you serious? And where were you, Henry? Maddie: Don't -- it's not his fault. Don't be mad at him. Eve: I'm mad at myself. Before you left Chicago, you barely came out of your room. You were so moody and quiet. Louis and I chalked it up to being a teenager. We thought a new school, a new start -- you said she was doing well. Her grades were good, she made friends. Henry: She is doing well. She's a straight A student, she's on the honor roll -- Maddie: I told Margo I'll take care of the damages. I'll make it up to Lia. Eve: I'm not worried about the damages, Maddie. I'm worried about you. Maddie: I'm okay. I'm okay. Henry: She's okay. I'm no Freud here, Maddie, but even I can tell that something's going on underneath the surface. Eve: When did all this start? Henry: Around the time of the break-up with Casey. Maddie: It's not Casey’s fault. Henry: You know what, hey, we're going to a whole new level with the car thing, so maybe you wanna give us a break. Margo: Excuse me, I'm sorry. I need Maddie’s legal guardians to sign these forms so we can proceed. Eve: That would be me and Louis. Henry: Louis is her husband. Margo: One is fine. Henry: Where is Louis, Eve? Eve: He's at work. I left him a message and got on the first train. Henry: Maddie stayed with Eve in Chicago. Margo: That's where it all started to unravel, huh, Maddie? That's why you moved here. You were trying to get away from something or someone, weren't you?
Maddie: All right, I admit, I did something stupid, but you're making me sound like I'm crazy. Margo: No, nobody thinks that, Maddie. Eve: Maybe the best thing is for you to come back to Chicago. Louis and I would love it, you know that. Dallas: Why? She'll just run again. Eve: Who are you? Dallas: Dallas Griffin. I was a cop in Chicago. Margo: He joined the force here a couple weeks ago. Eve: How do you know my sister? Dallas: I'd prefer she tell you that. Margo: It's time, Maddie. Maddie: You know, this is all your fault. I was fine before I saw you. Dallas: You know that's not true. Henry: Why don't we take it down a notch? Margo: No, I think that Maddie needs to see this through, Henry. Eve: See what through? Margo: Maddie, what you're holding inside you -- it's hurting you far worse than the real truth will. Maddie: Leave me alone. Henry: Hey, Sweetheart, you know -- hey, hey -- look, hey, come on, come straight with me. I'm sorry, Baby. It's just me, all right. It's you and me, there's no one else around here. We're at the Lakeview, we're kicking our feet up, we're watching "It's a Wonderful Life" for the 30th time. Eve: Henry -- Henry: Hey, Eve. Come on, Bright Eyes, I think Margo and company are right here. Something happened in Chicago. Something you were running from and you're trying to forget? Maddie: Yeah. Henry: Yes?
Henry: It's crunch time, Maddie. I don't think running away is working anymore. Yeah? Maddie: Okay. Henry: Yeah, okay, okay. Maddie: I was living with Eve and Louis. And I went to a frat party. Eve: When was this? Maddie: Not long before I left. I told you I was going to Terry's for a sleepover, but a bunch of us knew this guy, and he told us about this party -- Henry: You were never into partying. Maddie: I know, I wasn't, it's -- everybody else was going, and I was just so sick of always hearing, "Maddie, stop hitting the books and lighten up a little." Eve: You were way too young to be at a college party. Maddie: I know. I'm sorry! I wish I would have never have been. Henry: Its okay, it's okay, shh. Maddie: I had a beer, only a few sips, Henry, and -- Henry: It's fine. Maddie: -- Somebody must have slipped me something, because after that, the room started spinning, my head started spinning. I just -- everything was moving in slow motion. Eve: I don't believe this. Maddie: And I was in a room with this guy. And I was -- I was fighting him off. Eve: Oh, God. Maddie: He was too strong. I grabbed for something. And there were posters on the wall. And I don't remember anything else. I must have blacked out. And I woke up in the E.R. and Officer Griffin was there. Dallas: Maddie wasn't able to answer any of my questions except for the name of the college and the friends she was with. Margo: Honey, did the doctors do a pelvic exam? Maddie: No. Margo: Why not? Maddie: I didn't want them to, Mrs. Hughes. I just wanted to go home. Henry, can we please go home? Henry: Yes, we can. Yes, I promise, I promise. Maddie: I told Officer Griffin that I'd call if I remembered more, but I don’t. Dallas: Maddie. Maddie, if you remember anything, no matter how small, I'll take it from there. Maddie: I don’t. Henry: Are you sure, baby? Are you sure? Because I will stay here with you from now until next week if you can remember anything -- Maddie: I don't remember anything! Why can't you believe me?
Henry: Its okay, it's okay. We don't have to do this now. Maddie: I can't, not ever, Henry, please. Margo: Come on, Maddie, come on, come one. You made a really good start. Don't lose your nerve now. Eve: She told you somebody slipped her something. How do you expect her to remember? Margo: I know, but sometimes with a little effort, we can push the little things that seem to be anything, but they can open doors to all sorts of memories. Dallas: Maddie, do you remember anything? I mean, you were struggling, right? Was he my size, shorter? Maddie: I don't know. Dallas: Was he White, African American, Asian? Maddie: I told you, I don't know! Margo: Honey, would you remember his voice? Voice #1: It was fun! It was fun! It was fun! Maddie: No. Margo: Okay, okay, I think that's enough for tonight. That was good, Honey. Do you want to talk to a professional? Because the station has someone who specializes in sexual assaults. Eve: Thank you, Officer Hughes. Margo: All right. I'll leave you, then. Let's go. Maddie: Margo? Margo: Yeah? Maddie: You're not gonna tell Casey, are you? Margo: No, of course I'm not. Eve: Honey, why didn't you tell me or Louis what happened? Maddie: I couldn't, Eve. Eve: But I should've -- I should've sensed something. How did I miss this? Henry: I've been asking myself the same question, sweetheart. I've been so busy babysitting Emily Stewart, I didn't see that my own little sister's heart was breaking right in front of my eyes. And I'm -- my eyes are wide open now, Baby, okay, and I promise you, you will never be this alone or this scared again.
Maddie: Henry, I'm the one to blame. I went to that party. Don't forget to rinse those dishes first. Maddie: Henry, I'm the one to blame. I went to that party. I lied to Eve. Henry: And then you came here, and you were hoping to get some attention from your big brother. And I've been raising you by remote control. Maddie: You didn't know. Eve: Look, it's no use dwelling on our mistakes. We are a family. We will get through this as a family. We're gonna get you some help and you're gonna start feeling better. I promise. Maddie: Can I just go home? Please? Henry: Yes, you can just go home. I'll get the car, I'll meet around front. Margo: Sorry, Henry, Maddie’s not going anywhere. Eve: Why not? Margo: Well, Maddie is charged with criminal destruction of property. System doesn't work in reverse. You're staying put.
