Friday, April 22, 2005 On today's show, Henry decides to leave Katie. Will Margo be successful in convincing him to stay?
Henry is packing a suitcase in the living room. He notices that there's a message on the answering machine but tries to resist it. "Come on. Quit blinking at me like that. Okay, all right. Do your worst," he sighs, pushing the button. It's Katie. "Henry? Are you there? Please pick up. I guess you're not there or you're not picking up because I'm the last person in the world you want to talk to right now. But, listen, I want you to know that I'm going to Vegas with Craig to keep him from stopping Mike and Jennifer's wedding. I'll be home as soon as I can and I'll explain everything. I'm sorry, Henry. I'm really sorry. But I'll fix this. I promise. I know I can make things right. I love you." Henry slams his suitcase shut and zips it. He heads to the door but stops when he sees Snickers. "Oh. Hey. Well, I guess this is it. It was fun while it lasted. Now, you take care of yourself, all right? I left plenty of food and water. It should tide you over until Katie gets back. Don't take any wooden carrots, all right?" says Henry. He continues to the door and opens it to find Margo about to knock. "Hey. Where are you going?" she asks.
Henry has told Margo the whole story about Craig and Jen and the baby (seems the whole town knows by now). "Well, I -- this is unbelievable," says Margo. Henry assures her it's true. "Jennifer is carrying Craig's child?" asks Margo in disbelief. "Yeah. If I saw pigs flying outside the window right now, I would not be the least bit surprised," says Henry. "Huh. I had no idea that this was going on. Well, that still doesn't your bags, though," says Margo. "Well, when Craig is finished with Mike and Jennifer's relationship, Mike will be a free man again," observes Henry. Margo doesn't follow. "Free man. Free man, so there's nothing to keep Katie from being with the love of her life," explains Henry. "Oh, is that what you -- that's what you think is going to happen?" asks Margo. "Yeah. Look, she denies it, but I know the truth, Margo. I do. I -- she swore not to tell Craig that the baby was his. She knew how I felt about it. She knew the consequences to all of us if he found out. But she couldn't help herself. She did it anyway," says Henry. "Well, let me ask you something. Do you love Katie?" asks Margo. "Truly, madly, deeply, and I also have my pride, and I'm not going to wait here for my wife to show me the door. Okay? I'm not that big of a loser," says Henry. "Well, Henry, I've got news for you. If you walk out on Katie, that is exactly what you will be," responds Margo.
"All right, let me ask you something. When Mike found out about Craig and Jennifer, did he walk out on her?" asks Margo. Henry says no, and Margo continues, "No, no. He didn't. Because that's not the kind of man he is." "Yeah, but Craig is..." protests Henry. "Craig, Craig -- forget about Craig. This is about you and what you want and what makes you happy. And what makes you happy is Katie. So if you want her, you've got to stay," advises Margo. "Wow. I wasn't expecting this. I thought you'd be the first person to shake my hand and say, 'better luck next time,'" says Henry. "Yeah. Yeah, well, I wasn't expecting it either. I wasn't expecting to be here, but here I am. Because you're good for Katie. I mean, you -- you have stuck with her through rich, poor, thick, thin, bad, to worse. It takes a strong man to do that. So if you dumped her now, it'd really be kind of out of character. That'd make you a loser, wouldn't it? You're not a loser. And Henry, Katie needs you," says Margo. With those words of wisdom, she leaves Henry alone.
Meanwhile, in Vegas, Craig has succeeded in stopping Mike and Jennifer's wedding, and Katie was there for the whole thing. Craig gloats the whole flight home and tries to tell her it's what she wanted all along. Katie's not so sure. She finally gets home to the cottage and finds it empty. "Henry? Henry? Oh, no, don't let him be gone. Please, God, don't let him be gone," she pleads. Today’s episode was directed by Maria Wagner and written by Lynn Martin.

Margo: Well, I -- this is unbelievable. Henry: Every word of it's true. Margo: Jennifer is carrying Craig's child? Henry: Yeah. If I saw pigs flying outside the window right now, I would not be the least bit surprised. Margo: Huh. I had no idea that this was going on. Well, that still doesn't your bags, though. Henry: Well, when Craig is finished with Mike and Jennifer's relationship, Mike will be a free man again. Margo: Hmm, don't follow. Henry: Free man. Free man, so there's nothing to keep Katie from being with the love of her life. Margo: Oh, is that what you -- that's what you think is going to happen? Henry: Yeah. Look, she denies it, but I know the truth, Margo. I do. I -- she swore not to tell Craig that the baby was his. She knew how I felt about it. She knew the consequences to all of us if he found out.
