Once again we see Henry in drag.  First he was a pregnant woman, then an island beauty, and now he's a nurse!  Still looking for that elusive something he thinks Rose has.

Rose has just had the reversal treatment which has made her young and beautiful again.  She's in the shower in her hospital room bathroom when the door opens and we see a nurse's feet walk in.  The camera pans up and we see it's Henry dressed in a nurse's uniform complete with hat.  He hears Rose singing in the shower, mutters "keep your day job," and begins to look through Rose's purse. 

       

Henry finds Rose's keys.  He passes up the house key, "could have used that a few days ago," and takes the key to her World Wide office.  He's about to leave when Paul comes in.  Henry the nurse pretends to be straightening up the bed.  Paul looks at "her" funny and tells her she doesn't need to do that, Rose is leaving tonight.  So Henry nods and leaves the room.  Rose comes out of the bathroom and asks Paul who he was talking to.  "The ugliest nurse I've ever seen!" he replies.

       

Henry, dressed in his normal suit and tie, sneaks into World Wide and uses his key to get into Rose's office.  "It wasn't at Daddy's house in 'Joisey,' it wasn't at Rose's home on the range complete with animal heads, so it's gotta be here.  Come to Papa!"  He begins to search through Rose's desk and her files.  Suddenly the door opens and Lucinda walks in.  She grabs a lamp as a weapon to defend herself against the intruder, and stops in surprise when she realizes who it is.  "Good grief, you?!" she cries.  

           

Lucinda says that she recognizes Henry as "that weasel who worked with Katie Peretti at WOAK."  Henry tells her that for a woman her age she has a remarkable memory, and she responds that she has a good left hook too!  She asks Henry how he got in and why he's here.  Henry tries to avoid the questions and just leave, but she pushes him back into the chair.  Henry protests, saying, "you're manhandling me, and you're not even a man!"  

       

Lucinda, beginning to put two and two together, tells him that she knows Rose's house was broken into two nights ago and it was a mess.  Henry insists that it couldn't have been him, "I'm neat, I'm a very very neat person."  Lucinda threatens him with bodily harm if he doesn't confess.  "Not the face, not the face!" protests Henry as Lucinda's shoe gets dangerously near his face.  He tells her that he's not here for money or to cheat Rose, he's here to get a letter.  In fact, there's money to be made.  

       

Lucinda asks why he didn't just call Rose, and accuses him of working for James Stenbeck.  Henry wonders why everyone is accusing him, first of working for some Dahlia person, now of working for some Stenbeck person.  Lucinda says that she is not amused.  Henry says they just don't get along, so he'll leave with his hands empty.  He gives her back the key, and she asks where he got it.  He says that a nurse gave it to him.  Lucinda's not buying it and picks up the phone to call the police.  Henry sees his chance and runs for the door.  "Stop, you weasel!" calls Lucinda after him.  But it's no use, he's gone.

>> Henry: No, no.
>> Lucinda: Look, I'm sorry, darling why don't you just get on the phone and telephone Rose and say, "Rose, where is my letter?" I'll tell you why you don't do that -- because you're working for James Stenbeck.
>> Henry: Oh -- okay. You know, I have been accused of working for a lot of people, all right? First this Dahlia-- Dahlia somebody. I was supposed to be working with her. Now this James somebody --

>> Henry: Okay, okay. You know what? Here. Here is the key.
>> Lucinda: Where did you get that key?
>> Henry: A nurse gave it to me.
>> Lucinda: I'm not amused. I am not amused, all right? Now, you come clean and tell me freely and openly what you did, or else I'm gonna call the police.
>> Henry: No, Ms. Walsh, that's not a good idea. No, no, no. 'Cause they wouldn't understand the situation --
>> Lucinda: That's just too bad. No, why don't I just call them?
