Thursday, February 8, 2007 Henry runs interference between Katie and her new adversary, Brad Snyder. As she's cooling down and drying off, she tells Henry that she wants to take the job Kim offered her at WOAK and start her life over. But her ulterior motive is, as always, to eventually win Mike back. Today’s episode was directed by Sonia Blangiardo and written by Elizabeth Page.
Transcripts from TVMegasite Katie: Not in my face, you idiot! Brad: I'm sorry! I'm sorry, I'm sorry! Katie: Turn it off! Stop it! Brad: I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry! Katie: What the hell are you doing? Brad: Well, you said you didn't want to smell like a distillery -- Katie: I didn't want to look like I got caught in a storm, either! I am supposed to be standing by my sister's side right now, while the mayor swears her in as chief of detectives. I can't go in there looking like this. Get your hands off me or I will cut them off! Brad: For such a beautiful woman, you know, you have quite a temper. Katie: And for such a Snyder, you are quite the loser. Vienna: Wow, is it raining? Katie: No, I just ran into your old friend Brad. Vienna: Has she been flirting with you? Brad: Shamelessly. Katie: Yeah, that's what I've been doing. Vienna: Oh, well, you know, not to worry. He's all yours, because I'm leaving town. Katie: Well, I want no part of him. So, take him with you, please. Vienna: No, no, no. No, he's my little farewell gift to you. Katie: Really? Vienna: As a thank you for showing me that it's time for me to move on and leave Oakdale. Katie: I really want no part of him. Thanks. Vienna: But you should have him. You really need him. Because Simon is gone, Mike's gone -- you need someone to play with. Brad: I don't know, Vienna. She's not that much fun. You know, I mean, all I did was, I was standing here, she threw herself at me, I mean, could I help it if she spilled my drink? Katie: I didn't throw anything at you! However, that's a good idea. Henry: Whoa! Hey, let me just take my little friend off your hands here. Before the new chief of detectives arrests her sister for assault with a deadly weapon.
Katie: Look at me. I am a total mess. I'm so mad, I can never go to Margo's swearing-in looking like this. Henry: Maybe. But my guess is that all eyes will be on the new chief. Katie: Who will be wondering why her sister chose this particular moment in time to completely embarrass her. No, I'll just go congratulate her when I get myself cleaned up. Henry: Well, at least she didn't have to arrest you. Katie: Oh, please. I had every right to be furious with that guy. He's the one that ran into me, and then he blamed me for spilling his drink. Henry: Well, you get between a man and his beverage, and it could be trouble. Katie: Yeah, but he's the one who spilled the drink. He's the one that ran into me. This guy is a total disaster. He has no job, no house, he's totally mooching off of Jack and Emma. Henry: I thought he was Jack's brother? Katie: Yeah, all the more reason to pitch in and help. Jack's having a hard enough time as it is coping without Carly here. It's really hard. I mean, I should know, I'm going through the same thing myself. However, I don't have three kids to raise. This guy breezes into town, sees Vienna, decides to kick back and enjoy the view for awhile. But at least Vienna is leaving. It'll help Jack and I just get on with our lives. Henry: Vienna staying or leaving, that's not the issue. Katie: Well, it is. Every time I see her, she reminds me of what happened. Henry: Out of sight, out of mind, huh? Katie: I don't think Jack and I will ever forget what we lost. Henry: Or why you lost it. Katie: I'm sorry, are you trying to make me feel worse? Henry: No, I'm not, I'm just trying -- again, I'm just trying to say that Vienna is not -- whether she stays or leaves -- is not the issue. Mike is gone. You've got the rest of your life ahead of you. So what are you going to do with it?
Katie: You're right. I can't blame Vienna, or Brad, or anyone else for the way I feel. I drove Mike away. I have only myself to blame. Why is it that no matter how badly I mess up or what stupid thing I do, you never leave me? Henry: I owe it to snickers. Katie: Thanks. Henry: So, what's next? What's next, what's next? Another video? Another book? You could franchise a health club -- Katie: No, I am really considering taking that job at WOAK that Kim offered me. Henry: Another exercise show? Katie: No, it's a little different, actually. Well, it seems that I'm bit of a celebrity now because of "Oakdale Confidential" -- well, at least my Q-rating is up, so it's a magazine show called "Oakdale Now." Henry: Well, that's exciting. Katie: I don't know, it makes me really nervous. I mean, who am I? I'm just a butt-busting gossip writer. I'm no Oprah or Rachael ray -- Henry: What? What, are you kidding me? This is right up your alley. I used to work in television, remember? I will tell you, you will have that demographic eating right out of your hand. Katie: God, I hope so. Because the sooner I can make a success of myself, the sooner I can get Mike back.
Henry: I thought we just agreed that Mike was out of your life now. Katie: Yeah, now, maybe. Not forever. At least, I hope not. Henry: Katie, Katie -- Katie: What? I know Mike. He's off somewhere licking his wounds. He'll come back to Oakdale. He has to. It's his home. Henry: I just don't want you putting your life on hold. Katie: Listen, Henry, I'm going to take this time to get my act together. I'm going to take this job, and when Mike gets home, I'll be a whole new person. I'll have a TV show. I'll be independent and successful and strong. And he will have no other choice but to fall in love with me again. Henry: Okay, just keep your options open, please. And stay out of jail. Katie: That's what I have you for. Okay, do I look presentable? I think -- Henry: Yeah, absolutely, absolutely. Katie: Good, because you're right. I'm not going to let a few unsightly stains and some messed up make-up keep me away from sister and congratulating her during this amazing time. I'm going to go see if I can catch the end of that ceremony. Henry: Okay. Well, give her all my love. Katie: I will do that. Thank you. Henry: Okay, yeah. And I'm proud of you.
