Friday, May 14, 2004 On today's show Pilar makes a friendly visit to Katie in the hospital. She smugly tells Katie that she and Mike slept together, and when Katie doesn't believe her, she produces a picture for proof. Katie tells Pilar to leave and breaks down sobbing on the couch. Henry comes in and sits down next to her. "Hey, you know the thing about these places, these upscale loony bins? The doctors are crazier than the patients," he jokes. He notices that Katie is crying. "Or maybe not. What happened to you?" he asks, concerned. Katie explains what happens and Henry asks, "Are you sure the picture isn't a fake? I mean, with a digital camera and a computer, I could make it look like I slept with Pilar. And not that the thought has ever crossed my mind," he quickly adds. "No, they were all tangled up. That's what she wanted. She wanted me away from Mike so she could have him all to herself. You know, the thing that really gets me is that Mike would actually sleep with her the same night I got locked up in this place," mourns Katie. "So, do we hate him? Can I hate him for you? Hmm?" asks Henry supportively. "I just can't figure it out. Why show me that picture?" wonders Katie. "Well, because she's a nasty, vindictive, little..." responds Henry. "Yes, all of the above. But why risk coming here? Mike would hate it if he ever found out, not that I could prove it. But still, Pilar doesn't do anything without a reason, and for some reason, she wanted me hurt," theorizes Katie. "What was it that she said? She wanted you to know that you and Mike were finished? That doesn't sound like a woman who's too sure of her man," observes Henry. Katie reminds him about the message she left for Mike, and that Pilar said she erased it. "Well, maybe she thinks the best way to keep you away from him is to get you so hurt and angry that you'll never want to talk to him again," suggests Henry. "Yeah, if she was just some normal woman, but this is Pilar we're talking about. The same woman who stabbed herself and threw herself on Mike's doorstep. The same woman who ran around town in some weird disguise with some weird sidekick who told me that she wanted to murder him," says Katie. Henry wonders if that's still her plan, and Katie says, "I think her and Russ' plan this whole time was to get me to lose it - and I did. That's why this time it's very important that we just take a breath and think." "Right. You don't want to do anything crazy in a nuthouse," agrees Henry. "I think that she just - I mean, it's obviously not about her wanting to get Mike back into her bed, 'cause she's already accomplished that. Why come here? She wants something, something else. I just don't know what it is," puzzles Katie. "I think I know how to find out," declares Henry. "But Russell Terry is in jail. The last time I confronted him, he lied to me, saying that Pilar wanted to kill Mike," says Katie after hearing Henry's plan. "Very true, but times have changed. Now, when you talked to him before, he was living it up at the Wagon Wheel. Free soap, and the color TV, and the naugahyde - but now he's behind bars. And I don't think he's too happy with Pilar," says Henry. "Yeah, but you don't know what she's promised him," says Katie. "No, but I do know small-timers. And for all their talk of a big score, they really lack the patience. I'm telling you, she could have promised him $1.5 million, and right now he would settle for a week at the Wagon Wheel," says Henry. Katie agrees with the premise but wonders how that can help them when they're stuck in the hospital. "Right. We've got to find a way to get out," declares Henry. "How?" asks Katie. "Do I have to do all the thinking?" pouts Henry. "Okay, you're right. I'm thinking, give me a second. Okay, how to break out of the nuthouse and into jail today?" muses Katie. Today’s episode was directed by Christopher Goutman and written by Elizabeth Page.
