On today's show Henry continues to help Katie to hide the fact that she was the driver in Mike's hit and run accident.  The things Henry will do to help Katie!

Margo is in Mike's room at the hospital asking him what he remembers about the accident.  Fortunately for Katie the only thing he remembers about the car is headlights.  And his last thought, "All I could think about was getting ahold of this weak, gutless person that did this to me."  Katie and Henry are in the hallway listening.  Katie wonders how long the police are going to continue to question Mike about the accident.  Henry assures her that when they figure out his memory is gone, they'll leave him alone.  "Well, you know what they say - after a trauma, people think that they don't remember anything at first, and then days go by, or weeks, and then all of a sudden they start piecing things together.  What if Mike does that, and he realizes that I'm the one who hit him?" worries Katie.  "He won't!  He won't, okay?  And even if, by some miracle, he gets some kind of total recall, he will lie through his teeth to keep you from doing time," says Henry.  Katie says she doesn't care what happens to her, she just wants Mike to get better.  "And if Margo’s gonna find out that I'm the one who was driving that car that hit him, her car - I want her to find out from me," she says.  Henry sees Margo leaving Mike's room and says, "What do you know?  Margo!  Hey!"  Katie asks how Mike is doing and Margo says he's fine, but he doesn't remember anything about the accident.  "Doggone it.  That's got to be tough," says Henry.  Margo assures him they have other evidence; in fact, Jack is bringing over a forensic report shortly.  Katie asks what kind of evidence, and Margo says she'll let her know when she finds out.

Margo leaves and Henry tells Katie not to worry.  "This is just what I was afraid of.  Margo's going to find out the truth.  She's going to hate me forever.  And Mike is never going to forgive me!" whines Katie.  Henry tells her to calm down, they'll come up with a plan.  "I already did.  You're going to follow Margo and find out what she knows," says Katie.

Katie again waffles back to wanting to tell Margo the truth.  "What if somebody gets blamed, Henry?  I already talked to Dr. Bob.  He says that I'm not qualified enough to help Mike, so there goes that plan," she says.  "Oh, please.  Dr. Bob, come on, he's just a doctor.  He doesn't know anything," says Henry.  Katie decides to plead insanity so she'll end up in the hospital, because she wouldn't last a night in prison.  "All right.  All right, all right, all right, okay.  I'll find out what they know," agrees Henry.  "Man - you - you have got to promise me that you'll get your cute little buns into Mike's room and convince him that he needs you for a full physical and spiritual recovery."  Katie says she'll try.  "All right now.  Good.  Now do something with your lips.  Put a little mascara on, all right?" suggests Henry.  "And you need a little bit more blush.  And, uh, do that thing with your hair. You know, make him want it."  "Good-bye, Henry," says Katie impatiently.

Jack meets Margo at the hospital and brings her the evidence on Mike's hit and run.  It's a report on the tires, which says they're new and are of the most popular size and tread available.  They could have been bought any time within the last month.  "Great.  So we're looking at a month's worth of new tire receipts?" complains Margo.  They leave and Henry peeks around the corner, following them.  "I am tailing the cops.  I have got to be out of my mind.  Anything for you, Bubbles!" says Henry.

Margo is at the tire store describing the situation to the clerk.  She asks him for "A printout of all the purchases from every store within a 100 mile radius."  The clerk complains that that's a lot of tires, and Margo agrees he has his work cut out for him.  Henry is hiding behind a rack of tires, listening.  "See, what did I tell you, Katie?  They've got nothing," he mutters to himself.  He turns around and sees Jack.  "Jack, hey, what a surprise.  Uh, just here buying some tires," says Henry guiltily.  "Why were you headed in the opposite direction?  You running from somebody?" asks Jack.  "Scared of the big, bad cops?  Hmm?  The question is -- why?" wonders Margo.

Henry says he'll just buy tires at another place and another time.  Jack accuses him of listening to Margo's conversation, and Margo asks him to explain.  "I came in here to buy some tires.  I was going towards the counter, I saw the detective in there, and I - I freaked out, really.  I had, like, a panic attack.  You ever have one of those?  I - I couldn't breathe.  I broke out into a cold sweat, and I couldn't even hear what she was saying because of the ringing in my ears!" says Henry.  Jack asks Henry why he's so nervous.  "Jack, why am I so nervous?  I've been in your holding cell more times than we care to recollect, all right?  And I'm having a bit of a sense memory, here, and it - you know what?  It's making me a little queasy.  So if you'd just let me go about my business, I think it'd be best, before my symptoms become more pronounced," says Henry, looking as if he were about to be sick.  Margo  nods, and Henry raves, "There we go, another brilliant decision by the Oakdale PD."  After he leaves, Jack asks Margo if she believes him.  "Nah, but I guess Henry’s got as much right to buy tires as anybody else, hmm?" answers Margo.

Henry goes back to the hospital to tell Katie the good news.  He meets her outside Mike's room and his jaw drops as Glenda the Good Nurse walks past and goes into Mike's room.  "Down, boy," says Katie, lifting his jaw back up.  "You beckoned Bubbles?" says Henry.  Katie asks what he found out.  Henry assures her they have nothing.  "The point is who is that gorgeous creature that just went into Kasnoff's room?" he asks.  "Mike's therapeutic nurse or orthopedic something.  I don't know, whatever," answers Katie impatiently.  "Are you kidding me?  That lucky little boy.  What, he's laid out.  He's helpless.  He's in need of constant care.  What's her name?" drools Henry.  "Glenda," says Katie.  "No, oh, that is so beguiling.  Is she a good witch or a bad witch?  Hmm?  You know, I'd gladly go out and break some of my bones for the extreme pleasure of having her kiss my wounds," says Henry.  "I would gladly break them for you," says Katie angrily.  Henry gives up and asks Katie what their next move is.  "This Glenda that you find so - whatever you said - beguiling?  We get rid of her," says Katie.

Today’s episode was directed by Steven Williford and written by Lynn Martin.

 

Transcripts from TVMegasite

Margo: Look, I know that you've -- you've had to go over this about 100 times, but I've got to ask you once again. Is there anything more about the accident that you recall, huh?

Mike: I told you everything I remember. I stopped to help this lady -- she ran out of gas, car broke down. I ran across the street to help her out.

Margo: Well, what about -- how much more of the car did you see that hit you?

Mike: Nothing but headlights.

Margo: Anything that you recall? The -- the driver, the face, the hair? Was it a man, a woman -- ?

Mike: My last thought -- all I could think about was getting ahold of this weak, gutless person that did this to me.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Katie: How many times are they going to question Mike about the stupid accident?

Henry: Katie, until they figure out that his memory is gone, and then they'll just leave him alone. All right?

Katie: Well, you know what they say -- after a trauma, people think that they don't remember anything at first, and then days go by, or weeks, and then all of a sudden they start piecing things together. What if Mike does that, and he realizes that I'm the one who hit him?

Henry: He won't! He won't, okay? And even if, by some miracle, he gets some kind of total recall, he will lie through his teeth to keep you from doing time.

Katie: I don't care what happens to me!

Henry: Katie --

Katie: I just want Mike to get better. And if Margo’s gonna find out that I'm the one who was driving that car that hit him, her car -- I want her to find out from me.

Henry: What do you know? Margo! Hey!

Margo: Hey, you two.

Katie: How's Mike?

Margo: He's fine. He still doesn't recall anything about the accident.

Henry: Doggone it. That's got to be tough.

Margo: We've got other evidence. In fact, Jack is meeting me here. Their forensics report just came in.

Katie: What -- what kind of evidence?

Margo: I don't know yet. I'll let you know later. Keep your fingers crossed.

Katie: Oh, Henry!

Henry: No, listen -- hey, don't -- don't worry about it.

Katie: This is just what I was afraid of. Margo's going to find out the truth. She's going to hate me forever. And Mike is never going to forgive me!

Henry: Just calm down, okay? We're going to come up with a plan.

Katie: I already did. You're going to follow Margo and find out what she knows.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------  

Katie: I can't do this. I can't do this anymore. I can't lie like this!

Henry: There is nothing for you to do.

Katie: I have to tell Margo. What if somebody gets blamed, Henry? I already talked to Dr. Bob. He says that I'm not qualified enough to help Mike, so there goes that plan.

Henry: Oh, please. Dr. Bob, come on, he's just a doctor. He doesn't know anything.

Katie: Oh, fine. I'll plead insanity. At least, that way, I can be in a hospital, because I won't last one night in prison.

Henry: All right. All right, all right, all right, okay. I'll find out what they know. Man -- you -- you have got to promise me that you'll get your cute little buns into Mike's room and convince him that he needs you for a full physical and spiritual recovery.

Katie: I will try.

Henry: All right now. Good. Now do something with your lips. Put a little mascara on, all right? And you need a little bit more blush. And, uh, do that thing with your hair. You know, make him want it.

Katie: Good-bye, Henry.

----------------------------------------------------------------

Jack: A report on the tires from the hit and run.

Margo: Great. Anything that's going to help us I.D. The car?

Jack: Nah, it doesn't look good. The tires were practically new, and they're the most popular size and tread available.

Margo: Oh, great. Needle in a haystack.

Jack: Yeah. One thing we know for sure is that the woman that Mike was trying to help that night said the car that hit him was navy blue. So we're looking for a navy blue car with new treads.

Margo: How new?

Jack: The report says less than 500 miles.

Margo: Okay. How long does it take to put 500 miles on new tires?

Jack: Depends on the driver. Some -- takes a month, others can do it in a day.

Margo: Great. So we're looking at a month's worth of new tire receipts?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Henry: I am tailing the cops. I have got to be out of my mind. Anything for you, bubbles.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Margo: It was a hit and run. Perp got away clean, except for these tire tracks here. So we've got to find the car. Do you sell many of these kinds of tires?

Clerk: We're the biggest distributor of Bel-Air tires in the area.

Margo: Well, congratulations. That means I'll need a printout of all the purchases from every store within a 100 mile radius.

Clerk: That's a hell of a lot of tires.

Margo: Yes, sir, it is. So, it looks like you've got your work cut out for you.

Clerk: Okay, I'll get right on it.

Margo: Thank you.

Henry: See, what did I tell you, Katie? They've got nothing.

Jack. Jack, hey, what a surprise. Uh, just here buying some tires.

Jack: Why were you headed in the opposite direction? You running from somebody?

Margo: Scared of the big, bad cops? Hmm? The question is -- why?

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Henry: I'll just go about my business and get my tires at another place and another time.

Jack: I saw you listening in on Margo’s conversation.

Henry: Oh -- oh, come on. I -- yeah, right. Maybe it appeared that way --

Margo: Well, then, Henry, do you want to tell us how it really was?

Henry: Yeah. I came in here to buy some tires. I was going towards the counter, I saw the detective in there, and I -- I freaked out, really. I had, like, a panic attack. You ever have one of those? I -- I couldn't breathe. I broke out into a cold sweat, and I couldn't even hear what she was saying because of the ringing in my ears!

Jack: Why are you so nervous, Henry?

Henry: Jack, why am I so nervous? I've been in your holding cell more times than we care to recollect, all right? And I'm having a bit of a sense memory, here, and it -- you know what? It's making me a little queasy. So if you'd just let me go about my business, I think it'd be best, before my symptoms become more pronounced. There we go, another brilliant decision by the Oakdale PD.

Jack: You believe a word of that?

Margo: Nah, but I guess Henry’s got as much right to buy tires as anybody else, hmm?

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Katie: Down, boy.

Henry: You beckoned bubbles?

Katie: What did you find out about Margo’s investigation?

Henry: Okay. I got -- hey, look, wait -- wait a second. You know how it is when you're tailing cops. All right? They got nothing. You got nothing. The point is who is that gorgeous creature that just went into Kasnoff's room?

Katie: Mike's therapeutic nurse or orthopedic something. I don't know whatever.

Henry: Are you kidding me? That lucky little boy. What, he's laid out. He's helpless. He's in need of constant care. What's her name?

Katie: Glenda.

Henry: No, oh, that is so beguiling. Is she a good witch or a bad witch? Hmm? You know, I'd gladly go out and break some of my bones for the extreme pleasure of having her kiss my wounds.

Katie: I would gladly break them for you.

Henry: Okay, all right. Well, why don't you just tell me what our next move is, huh?

Katie: This Glenda that you find so -- whatever you said -- beguiling?

Henry: Yes.

Katie: We get rid of her.
