Friday, September 17, 2004 Henry has an arm around Mike and Nikki as they lead him into Mike's cottage. "Strong and yet soft," says Henry. "Why, Henry, I didn't know you cared," jokes Mike. "I'm talking to Nikki," Henry clarifies. Nikki asks him how his head is. "Oh, it's terrible. I think I might have to lay it in your lap," he answers. "Dr. Harris said you needed to stay awake," Nikki reminds him. "Dr. Harris went to Paris in a puddle of rain. Oh! I need a nap," says Henry. "That's exactly what you don't need. Ben said no napping," insists Mike. "No, but I'm sleepy. Gin always makes me tired," says Henry as he flops down on the couch. "You had a martini before we went wall climbing?" asks Nikki. "Only a couple," says Henry. "No wonder you fell," says Mike. Nikki goes to make some coffee and Mike offers to play some music. He blasts the stereo and Henry jumps off the couch and does a karate kick, "Hi yah!" Jen arrives and Nikki welcomes her to the nuthouse, as Henry sings "Swing low, sweet chariot" from the back. Jen has just come from visiting Will at the mental hospital, and they think he might be released soon. She explains how her mother stole a nurse's uniform and broke into Will's room. "At least I have this to take my mind off -- what happened to you guys?" she asks as Henry and Mike come in dripping wet. "Mike -- Mike threw me into a freezing cold shower," complains Henry. "To keep you awake," says Mike. Nikki tells Jennifer that Henry fell on his head while rock climbing. "I got a boo-boo," adds Henry. "Mike and I have selflessly devoted the past few hours to try to keep him awake per doctor's orders," says Nikki. "Well, I imagine the doctor would also say that it's not very smart to stand in wet clothing," observes Jen. "She's right. Come on," says Mike, starting to lead Henry away. "Wait, why the sudden modesty? We've already seen you in your unmentionables," jokes Nikki. "If you hadn't cheated at cards, it would have never happened," says Mike. Henry asks if it's naptime yet, and Jen offers to make more coffee. "Let's get you out of these clothes," says Mike. "I am perfectly -- I can -- I can undress myself," protests Henry. "Okay, fine," as he takes off his own wet shirt. "You think that's something ladies?" says Henry as he attempts to take off his shirt. He gets all twisted up and falls on the floor. "Ow! My head! You know what? Let me just -- let me just lay here for a second, and this thing will be a thing of the past, okay? Night, night," says Henry. "Henry, Henry, hey, wake up. Wake up. Wake up," calls Nikki. "Mommy, is it time for school already?" asks a sleepy Henry. "Okay, sonny boy. Back in the shower," orders Nikki. Nikki and Henry are sitting on the couch when Jen brings in some towels. Mike goes to get some dry clothes as the girls help Henry dry off. "Hey, you're tickling me," complains Henry. "If I'm going to be Henry's baby-sitter much longer, I gotta go shopping. Here," says Mike, handing them a dry shirt. "Thanks. Help. Okay. Oh, gosh. I think he's falling asleep. And I don't know about getting this shirt on him," says Nikki, struggling. "Okay, come here. There you go. Huh? Look at that. Look at that. Nothing to it," says Mike as they finally get the shirt on him. "Oh, my gosh. If you'd have told me that I would have ended up having fun tonight, I wouldn't have believed you," says Jen. Nikki explains that she's just come from the mental hospital, and Jen says it's OK because her brother might be released soon. "I recently was released from a funny farm," says Henry. "Now, that's a surprise," says Nikki sarcastically. "No, no, no. I had myself admitted so that I could help a friend escape," explains Henry. "You helped a friend escape from the mental hospital?" asks Nikki. "That's right, I did. She wasn't really crazy, it was Katie Frasier. Mike, tell her about Katie," prods Henry. "It's a long story, but yeah, for the record, Henry was a real hero," says Mike. "That's right. You never knew Katie, did you?" Henry asks Nikki. "Okay, let me help you finish drying off," says Mike as he shoves a towel in Henry's face. He thanks the girls and they leave. "So, what do you think? Nikki likes me, right?" asks Henry. "You're trying way too hard, man. All right, you just need to relax, be yourself. Only less yourself, if you know what I mean," says Mike. Today’s episode was directed by John O'Connell and written by Meg Kelly.
