It's been over a week since Lucinda told Henry to report to work at 8 am the next morning, and apparently he hasn't.  We see him lurking around the hospital, eavesdropping on Simon and Katie.  They're talking about how their life is going to be when she recovers from donating part of her liver to Margo and returns home.  Margo is at the hospital too, and Tom wakes her up in the middle of a dream in which she's chasing Henry!

Lucinda shows up at the hospital to talk to Margo about Henry.  She reminds Margo that although Rose paid his bail to get him out of jail, he violated that bail when he left town to go to Avanya.  She wants Margo to put him behind bars to scare him into following through on their agreement.

Later, Lucinda asks Simon to find Henry and bring him in to the station.  Then she'll pay him what she owes him for Avanya, plus a bonus.  Simon agrees.

After everyone leaves Katie and Margo's hospital room except for Katie, Henry sneaks in.  "Henry?" says Katie, surprised to see him.  "I'm not even here," says Henry.  "Then why are you here?" asks Katie.  Henry says that he needs a favor.  "Sorry, I'm all out of expendable body parts," responds Katie.  "C'mon, sugar, it'll be painless.  I just need 20,000 dollars," says Henry.  "20,000 dollars?" asks Katie.  Henry shushes her and tells her he needs to go back to Avanya to find the diamond.  "I know exactly where it is but I need the boat, the rigging, the little wetsuit that makes you look like Flipper, well fed."  Katie tells Henry that she and Simon are saving their money for something special (a baby).  "What's more special than the Rose of Sharon diamond?" wonders Henry.  " I can't stay here in Oakdale knowing it's out there waiting for me.  I hate Oakdale!"  Just then Margo and Tom walk in.  "Too bad," Margo tells him, "You're under arrest!"

Today’s episode was directed by Maria Wagner and written by Elizabeth Page.

 

Transcripts from ATWTweekly

[ Memorial Hospital - Margo & Katie's Room ]
>> Margo: Stop. Freeze.
>> Tom: Hey, hey, wake up. Honey?
>> Margo: Where is he?
>> Tom: Who?
>> Margo: Where is he, Henry Coleman? I had him, and -- oh, don't tell me he got away.
>> Tom: I'm sure you had him, honey, but you were dreaming.
>> Margo: What?
>> Tom: Yeah, you were asleep.
>> Margo: Oh. Oh. Oh -- sorry. Well, man, it was just so real. I had Henry in the cross sights, and then -- poof.
>> Tom: Well, you know what? It's not your job anymore.

[ Memorial Hospital - Margo & Katie's Room ]
>> Tom: Lucinda, if you have police business, I recommend you take it up with Hal or Jack. Now, they work at the police station. 'Cause Margo's in no condition to --
>> Margo: To run a marathon. You're absolutely right, honey. But at last count, I still have two functioning ears and a semi-functioning brain. So thanks, but what's up, Lucinda?
>> Lucinda: It could be medicinal, you know? It's just a question. It's a teeny-tiny question. I was just wondering as to the status of Henry Coleman. You remember Henry Coleman? His bail, it was revoked, wasn't it?
>> Margo: Henry Coleman, isn't that odd? I was just thinking about him. Didn't Katie tell me that you were the one who brought him back to Oakdale?
>> Lucinda: Yes, I did, and he's here -- or he was here. But that doesn't alter the facts of the case, that he -- he violated his bail when he skipped town.
>> Margo: Yeah, yeah, yeah. And now why is this so interesting to you, hmm?
>> Lucinda: Well, you see, he's made commitments to me that he hasn't followed through on. I just thought, "well, if he finds himself in jail --"
>> Margo: Then you'd find that you have the upper hand?
>> Lucinda: I love doing business with you, Margo. See, that's why I wanted to talk to her. Even from here, you can get ahold of Henry Coleman and put him behind bars.

[ Hallway ]
>> Simon: Lucinda, thanks for waiting.
>> Lucinda: Darling, it's my pleasure. And it's just extraordinary how she looks.
>> Simon: I know, she's doing great.
>> Lucinda: And it's a proven fact now, she is generous to a fault.
>> Simon: That, too. And the doctor said she could be home within a week, but I really don't want her coming home to the cottage the way it stands.
>> Lucinda: Is it still standing?
>> Simon: Yes, it is -- just. But I need the money that you owe me from Avanya.
>> Lucinda: What money?
>> Simon: The money that you promised me for bailing out Paul and rose, for helping you out.
>> Lucinda: But I paid you. I paid you thousands of dollars.
>> Simon: Okay, you paid me for Paul, but that money got stolen, and you know it. You're not gonna weasel your way out of this one.
>> Lucinda: Why are you using that word "weasel" to me after all that we've been through, for heaven's sake. As a matter of fact, though, you could do something for me right now. You know, you could find Henry and bring him in, because as I understand it, he's wanted for jumping his bail.
>> Simon: Why Henry? He helped you out in Avanya, didn't he?
>> Lucinda: Leverage. If he wants my help, darling, then he's got to honor the deals that we make.
>> Simon: Listen, Lucinda, I'm no enforcer. All I want to do is go home, get the money that you owe me, go home, work on the cottage.
>> Lucinda: You're gonna get it, of course.
>> Simon: That's what I want to do.
>> Lucinda: You're going to get your money. This is just -- this is -- it's a bonus -- a substantial bonus.
>> Simon: Substantial --
>> Lucinda: Yes.
>> Simon: Bonus. All right, done.
>> Lucinda: You don't trust me?
>> Simon: No, no, I don't. No, I don't, at all.
>> Lucinda: You don't trust me?!
>> Simon: No, I don't.
>> Lucinda: Hey, give me that again. All right, and that's for your -- that's for your very brave, special wife.
[ Simon and Lucinda walk away and Henry sneaks into Katie's room ]

[ Margo & Katie's Room ]
>> Katie: Henry?
>> Henry: I'm not even here.
>> Katie: Then what are you doing here?
>> Henry: I need to -- I need to ask you for a little favor.
>> Katie: Oh, sorry. I'm all out of expendable body parts.
>> Henry: Oh, come on, sugar, this will be painless. I just need $20,000.

[ Memorial Hospital - Margo & Katie's Room ]
>> Katie: 20,000 -- ?!
>> Henry: Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh!
>> Katie: -- Dollars?
>> Henry: Yes, yes. Look, I need the money to go back to Avanya and find the diamond. I know exactly where it is, Katie, okay? But I need the boat, I need the rigging, I need a little wetsuit that makes you look like flipper well-fed, you know?
>> Katie: I'm sorry, Henry, but Simon and I are saving our nest egg for something very special.
>> Henry: Katie, what could be more special than the Rose of Sharon, huh? Look, I will pay you back with interest, I promise. Please, please, please? I can't stay here in Oakdale knowing that it's out there waiting for me. I hate Oakdale!
[ Margo and Tom walk in ]
>> Margo: Well, that's too bad, Henry, 'cause you're under arrest.
