Thursday, September 22, 2005 On today's show, Henry drops off Maddie at her new place of residence - Tom and Margo's house. Unfortunately that means she has to put up with Casey.
Henry and Maddie arrive at Tom and Margo's house and Henry says, "You are going to love living here, Maddie." "As much as anybody would love being pawned off on a bunch of strangers," sulks Maddie. "Not strangers. Margo's my ex-sister-in-law," says Henry. "So, what does that make me? Her ex-ex sister-in-law once removed?" asks Maddie. "She's gonna treat you like one of her own," Henry assures her. "Great, smothered by a family I hardly know," says Maddie. "What do you mean smothered? What's with smothered? You're not gonna be smothered. Casey's here. He's great. I hear people love him, and he will show you the ropes at Oakdale Latin. You're gonna fit right in," says Henry. "Why do I care about fitting in with a bunch of high school kids?" asks Maddie. "Hey! Hey, I just remembered there is a down pillow in the limo that Katie said you could have," says Henry. "Oh, goody! With the proper bedding, I could -- I can live anywhere," says Maddie sarcastically. "I will be right back," sighs Henry, going back to the car. Casey opens the door to find Maddie standing there. "Your timing reeks. My parents aren't even home yet. And, frankly, you're the last person in the world I want to see right now," says Maddie. "Oh, and you think you're on my bottom ten list?" replies Maddie. Henry comes back and ushers Maddie inside, saying, "Ah! Home sweet home!"
"Of course, you two don't know each other that well, but hey, it won't take long. Before you know it, you both will be bosom buddies," says Henry, sitting Maddie down on the couch next to Casey. "Great image, Henry," says Maddie. "Can't wait," says Casey. "You're gonna get along like the dickens," predicts Henry. They hear Casey's friend Lia calling from outside. "Oh, hey, if I'm not mistaken, that sounds like your friend. The one that smells like -- wait, what was it? Oh, that's right, a beautiful fall evening. I don't really know the exact words, 'cause I was too busy gagging," says Maddie. The doorbell rings and Casey goes to answer it. Lia is upset to find Maddie there and demands an explanation. Maddie introduces Lia to Henry, and mutters to him, "She makes Paris Hilton look like a Rhodes Scholar, so don't even waste your breath." Casey explains that Maddie is moving in, so Lia makes up an excuse to leave. Casey runs after her. "Oh, please, don't make me move in here. Just let me live with you!" pleads Maddie.
"You just gotta give it a little bit of time," says Henry. "Before what? I totally fry my brain trying to get along with god's gift to the world?" asks Maddie. "Come on, it won't be that bad," says Henry. "I just wish I could live with you," sighs Maddie. "I live in a limo," Henry reminds her. "I don't need a house," says Maddie. "Yeah, you do. You do need a house, and you need your own bed, you need a desk where you can do your homework. Besides, have you ever tried to do your hair in a rearview mirror?" jokes Henry. "You know what? I just don't understand why we couldn't stay at Katie's house," says Maddie. "I don't know, either. Let's just see -- I think faking a debilitating back injury is a houseguest no-no," says Henry. "She's supposed to be your friend," says Maddie. "Uh-huh. I know, and friends don't play each other like grifters. Besides, sweetie, it's just a matter of time before we have to explain why those nifty little presents keep showing up from the mysterious admirer," says Henry. "Yeah, I was dying to know how that turned out," says Maddie. "Yeah, I bet Mike was, too," agrees Henry. "I think Katie still loves you," says Maddie. "We've been over this, and I don't want to hear it anymore. Stop it," says Henry. "I know, even though you and Katie aren't married or you never will be again, I think that she still loves you. That is the reason why Mike wanted us out of the house. I bet you. I bet you that he made Katie kick us out," says Maddie. "Well, can you blame him, Maddie?" asks Henry. "Yes, I can. And you should blame him, too," replies Maddie. "This is getting us nowhere. Let's just stop, okay?" says Henry as his pager goes off. "I bet that's Katie. That's Katie, isn't it? She changed her mind?" asks Maddie. "No, it's Mrs. Bloodworthy. She wants me to take her poodle to the groomer's. Promise me you're going to be okay," says Henry. "What can I say? If wits can't save me, I still got this left hook," jokes Maddie. "Use it with discretion, okay? I'm gonna call you later and see how things worked out," says Henry, giving her a hug and leaving her alone. Casey comes back, having lost Lia. He reluctantly shows Maddie to her new room.

Maddie: Well, since you're done being a hungry flea at Lia's dog show, how about you take my bags and show me to my room? Okay, no problem. I'm sure it'll be easy finding which pigsty is yours. I'll just park myself there until your parents come home. Casey: No, you won't. Because that'd be breaking rule number one, which is you never set foot in my room, ever. Fine. I'll show you where to go.
