Thursday, July 20, 2006 Maddie has spent the night in jail after slashing the upholstery in Lia's car with a butcher knife. The charges are dropped, and Margo gives her a list of counselors. Henry and Eve take Maddie home. Today’s episode was directed by John O'Connell and written by Susan Dansby.
Transcripts from TVMegasite Eve: Maddie! Henry: Hey. Eve: How are you, Honey? Maddie: I'm fine. Henry: Oh, Sweetie, no one is fine after some time in the lockup. Trust me, I know. Eve: Did you eat something? I can't believe this has taken so long. Maddie: Can I go home? Henry: Our sister Eve has been a miracle worker. She's got a lawyer, and we're working on getting the bail set. Eve: Honey, is there anything you need? Maddie: Yeah, can I use your cell phone, Henry? Henry: Yeah, of course. Who do you want to call? Maddie: Casey, I need to talk to him. Henry: I'm sorry, Sweetheart, that's the one phone call I can't let you make.
Eve: Maddie, the lawyer was really clear about this. Henry: You can't have contact with anyone on the case, not Casey, not Lia -- Maddie: I don't want to talk to Lia! I need to talk to Casey. Henry: Why, Sweetheart? Maddie: Because I need to explain to him. I need to get him to understand -- Eve: Honey, how do you explain what you did without getting into what you told us last night? Are you ready to tell this boy you were attacked back in Chicago, because last night, you made it pretty clear that you didn't want to talk about this with anyone? Maddie: I know, but, I just -- Henry: Give her a break. Eve: I just don't think it's time to be calling someone who's just going to ask a lot of questions she can't answer. Henry: I know. I agree with you. Just stop being so hard on her. Eve: You're too easy on her. Look where she's ended up. I'm sorry. Henry: No, no. You're right. It's true. Eve: No, it's not. Maddie -- I let you down, Maddie. I should have realized something was terribly wrong when you left Chicago so quickly. Maddie: It's okay. Eve: It will be. I've decided to stay here in Oakdale with you and Henry for a while. Maddie: Why? Henry: What about Louis? Won't he be upset that his wife ditching him? Eve: He'll barely miss me. He's on the road so much anyway. Henry: Okay, well that's great. Right, Maddie? Eve: I know I can be a little bossy sometimes. But I love you, Maddie. And you need me, don't you? Honey, don't worry. Soon it will all be okay
Henry: Hey, is it time for the arraignment? Margo: I have good news. The charges have been dropped. You are free to go, Maddie. Maddie: I am? Margo: Uh-huh. Eve: How did that happen? Henry: Who cares? That's great. Eve: Thank you, detective. This is wonderful! Isn't it, Maddie? Margo: There is a condition, however. Henry: Sure, fine. Whatever gets her out of here, we are all over it. What's the deal, Margo? Margo: I need you to make me a promise. Maddie: Okay. Margo: You promise me that you will talk to someone, get the help you need to deal with what happened. Maddie: I hate -- I hate talking about it. Margo: I know, I know. Listen to me, Maddie. You have been sexually assaulted. You didn't deserve it, you didn't ask for it. But you do have to deal with it. Because it's going to be eating you up inside. And all the fear and all that pain, it's gonna find its way out somehow. Maddie: Like with Lia’s car. I'm really sorry. Margo: It's okay. Listen, I made a list of therapists. Just pick one and stick to it. Maddie: Okay. Margo: Okay. Henry: All right. Let's -- thanks Margo. Let's get you home. Maddie: How's Casey? Margo: Casey -- Casey’s fine. Maddie: I really need to talk to him. I've been -- Margo: You know what? No, it's not a good idea if you see him. Maddie: I need to talk to him, though. Margo: No, I think that you need to deal with the assault and come to grips with that. And maybe later. Maddie: I can't see Casey? Margo: Maddie, whose sweater did you burn? Whose car did you slash? Maddie: Lia's, but -- Margo: Yes, exactly. And Lia’s attachment with Casey is a real trigger for you. You take one look at her and it just boom. It unleashes all the fear and all of the pain. And it doesn't matter how much you try to control it, Baby. You can’t. Now, you got to work on that. And I told Casey and Lia to stay away from you until you do. Maddie: Casey doesn't want to see me anymore? Margo: No, Honey. He wants what's best for you. And so do I. Please listen to me. Please don't make me put out a restraining order to enforce this. You just concentrate on you. And Casey will come around. Eve: Thank you. Henry: Why don't we go to Al's -- Al's and we'll get a bite to eat? Eve: Maddie's probably tired. Don't you want to go home, Honey? Maddie: No. Would you just please leave me alone?
