Having seen Brad's ex (and the mother of his long lost daughter Liberty) make her appearance on Brad and Katie's show, Henry decides to check up on Katie.  She assures him that Janet will be no problem.

Today’s episode was directed by Habib Azar and written by Richard Culliton.

Katie: Hey, what are you doing here?

Henry: Hey. I just wanted to see how you were doing.

Katie: I'm fine. Why wouldn't I be?

Henry: Okay. If you say you're fine, then you are, or you're in denial.

Katie: What does that mean?

Henry: Listen, I'm your number-one fan. I never, ever miss a show.

Katie: Oh. You saw Janet.

Henry: I saw a lot of Janet. So, you don't have to tell me you're fine. Not when the mother of your hubby's child is so -- so --

Katie: So what?

Henry: Well, the girl is not hiding her light under a bushel, as Emma Snyder might say.

Katie: Thanks for that folk wisdom. It would have been a lot easier coming from Emma.

Henry: I just -- I just -- I wanted to say that it can't be easy.

Katie: It's fine. She's gone. She left.

Henry: She left already?

Kate: Mm-hmm. And she's not coming back any time soon.

Henry: Uh-huh. So she just dropped in for a visit?

Katie: No, she obviously wanted to stay longer, but I talked to Brad and he asked her to go.

Henry: You made him send away his baby's mama?

Katie: Well, it sounds bad when you put it that way.

Henry: There's a nice way to say it, Katie?

Katie: You don't understand. There were some very good reasons.

Henry: Yeah. Yeah, two of them.

Katie: What the hell are you guys doing?

Cameraman #1: Quality control.

Katie: What, you've never seen a woman before?

Cameraman #2: Not like her.

Katie: Well, too bad. You're never gonna see those again.

 

Henry: Yeah, see, that's what I'm talking about. I had this distinct impression that Janet would rub you the wrong way.

Katie: No, no. It's not that.

Henry: Hmm?

Katie: It's not that I don't like Janet, or even that I'm jealous of her --

Henry: Endowments.

Katie: Oh, come on. Actually, Janet showing up here just proved to me how much Brad really loves me.

Henry: How?

Katie: Because I voiced my concerns to him and he really listened. Not only did he listen, he agreed with me. Janet is a real handful.

Henry: On so many levels.

Katie: Oh, stop it. There's just something about her that I don't trust. She's very unpredictable, you know? Well, you saw how she just barged onto the set and took over. How self-absorbed can you get? Ask yourself, Henry, is that the kind of person you want in an impressionable young girl's life?

 

Henry: You've been quiet for too long. You're making me nervous.

Katie: Something's going on with Brad.

Henry: Any ideas what?

Katie: Well, he was supposed to have breakfast with Liberty and then bring her here. Maybe she's upset that her mother left.

Henry: Wouldn't he have told you that?

Katie: No, Brad likes to think he has this whole parenting thing under control. If that's what's going on, it's my fault. I'm the one who asked Janet to leave.

Henry: You're thinking of taking some action, aren't you?

Katie: If I caused this, I should be the one talking to Liberty. Or at least let her know that Brad and I are a united front.
