Wednesday, April 20, 2005 On today's show, Henry gets mad! He calls Katie on her feelings for Mike and refuses to listen to excuses. "We are not having this conversation," says Katie. "At least deny it. Give me that," says Henry. "It's ridiculous. I don't have those kind of feelings for Mike anymore. I'm married," insists Katie. "Yeah, that's a real deal breaker in this town," jokes Henry. "Stop it, Henry," orders Katie. "Don't talk to me like that. I'm not your lapdog," seethes Henry. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to say..." begins Katie. "I know what -- I know what you meant, okay? I know. When you've been jerked around as long as I have, why complain when they tighten the leash?" says Henry. "What has gotten into you?" asks Katie, shocked. "I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, but you know what? I like it a hell of a lot better than I like being used," says Henry.
"Henry, I never used you. I mean, okay, maybe there was a time when I took advantage in ways that I shouldn't have, but not now, not since our wedding," promises Katie. "Oh, sweetheart, our wedding was one moment where you used me the most," says Henry, twisting his wedding ring. "What are you talking about? Our wedding was the moment that everything changed between us," says Katie. "This is me, this is me, okay? Your best pal, your partner in crime," says Henry. "Yeah, right, so you should know that I'm speaking from the heart. Maybe our marriage started for all the wrong reasons, but it's not wrong now," insists Katie. "You couldn't let it go, you couldn't let it go. Every time -- you've got that little spark that wants to flare up every time you and Mike are alone together," says Henry. "You are so wrong. I love you, Henry. You have to know that," pleads Katie. "Why couldn't you leave it alone?" asks Henry. "I didn't mean to tell Craig about the baby, okay? But you know what? Once I did, I was almost relieved. Any man who fathers a child should know about it, even my brother," says Katie. "Yeah, especially if it gets Mike away from Jennifer," adds Henry. "You really think that that's what I want?" asks Katie. "I think -- I think this baby sweepstakes is your silver bullet, sweetheart. I think it's the stake right through the heart of Jennifer and Mike's romance," says Henry. "So I'm just this cold, calculating witch who wants to get Mike and Jennifer broken up so I can have him all to myself?" asks Katie. "No, no, no, no, no. You're sweet and you're loving and you're an adorable woman who couldn't help following her heart's desire," replies Henry. "No, you're wrong, Henry. Obviously, I handled this thing really badly, but it is not about Mike. You have to give me the chance to make you believe that. Please, Henry, I'm so sorry," begs Katie. "You're not half as sorry as you're going to be, okay? Because Craig's on his way over to Mike's right now, and he's beating on his chest, and he's demanding what's his," predicts Henry correctly. "Henry, listen to me. Listen, no matter what happens, I want to be with you," insists Katie. "This is where you look up at me with that sweet face, and I melt and then I get you out of another mess, right?" observes Henry. "No, this is the part where you believe that your wife is telling you the truth because she loves you," says Katie. "The truth? Okay, the truth is -- the truth is that when Mike finds out that you told Craig about the baby, he's not going to come running back to you. He's not. The cold, hard truth is that he's going to hate you for breaking his heart," says Henry cruelly, but truthfully.
"I don't care what Mike thinks," says Katie. "Really? How are you going to explain telling Craig about the baby? Or how you went after Jennifer's medical file?" asks Henry. "I know it looks bad," admits Katie. "Bad -- yeah, let's see, sneaking around, breach of ethics, all those privacy laws that were shredded while you innocently kept your appointment with Dr. Schiller?" agrees Henry. "Look, Henry, I am not the one who is cheating on Mike. I am not the one who created this mess," says Katie defensively. "Yeah, you are. You are, Katie. When you let me convince you to put that ring on your finger, you created a very big mess," says Henry. "Henry, that was all your idea and, suddenly, you're acting like you don't even like me anymore," says Katie. "I don't. I don't like you right now, okay? You think the wedding would just change everything, but it didn't. We just liked pretending that it did," says Henry. "I wasn't pretending, but if you think that I'm this user and liar, fine," pouts Katie. "No, hell, no. I'm not going to backed into that corner, absolutely not. I love you, Katie. I could spend my entire life trying to explain how I love you -- from your obsession with a silly rabbit to the way you give money to any guy on the street with a tin cup. We could be beautiful together, we could be wonderful together, except for one tiny detail -- you don't love me that way," says Henry. "I do love you, Henry," insists Katie for the hundredth time. "That part of your heart's taken. Mike's got squatter's rights," laughs Henry sadly. "How many times do I have to tell you? It is over with him. I made a mistake with Craig, but I promise I'll fix it," says Katie. "No. It's -- you know what? It's too late for that. It's too late. You can take Mike and Jennifer down, but you're not taking me down with them," says Henry, walking away. "Wait, where are you going?" asks Katie. "When you're dealt a bad hand, you know, you do what your supposed to do -- you fold the cards and then you leave the table," says Henry. "Wait, Henry, please -- I will make this up to you -- I will make it up to every one. I promise I will!" calls Katie as Henry walks out the door. Today’s episode was directed by Sonia Blangiardo and written by Judith Donato.
