Henry is locked in the wine cellar at Fairwinds with James as his captor.  Fortunately he's being fed well as James is cooking him gourmet meals.  He also entices him into a game of gin rummy as some kind of test.  But when Bonnie and Vienna start questioning Henry's whereabouts, James forces Henry to call Vienna and tell her he's just been out gambling.  Unbeknownst to James, Henry passes on a clue - he tells Vienna he's playing Blackjack which she knows he never plays!

Today’s episode was directed by Chris Goutman and written by Peter Brash.

Henry: Help! Somebody get me out of here!

[Door opens]

James: Henry, Henry. Save your vocal cords. No one's gonna hear you. The walls of Fairwinds are very, very thick.

Henry: Oh, James, James. You are the one who is thick if you think you can get away with first-degree kidnapping, okay?

James: Have some breakfast. It'll improve your outlook.

Henry: I'm not hungry.

James: Not even for omelet aux fine herbes prepared by moi?

Henry: Herbs? Herbs? What do you mean, herbs like arsenic? You'll do anything to keep the world from finding out that James Stenbeck is still in circulation.

James: Very wise on your part, Henry, not to totally trust me, you see, but the choice is yours -- survive or starve.

Henry: Hey, hey. I am sorry I doubted you, okay? Do I still get another shot at breakfast?

James: Why should you?

Henry: Because, whatever this test is, I'm not gonna pass it if I'm starving to death.

James: Oh, you know, I put in a lot of effort to prepare these meals for you. I invest a lot of my time, my energy, my skill, my intelligence, and you refuse me!

Henry: Sorry. You know, I have an idea of how we can just get rid of this trouble altogether. Just let me go, James. I swear on my mother's life, I won't turn you in. I'll be as silent as the grave.

James: Graves are silent. You want out of here, is that it?

Henry: Yes, yes, yes, please. Pretty please.

James: Pretty please? Okay, I'll give you your freedom. You're gonna have to earn it.

Henry: So, what's it gonna be? Texas hold 'em? Omaha high? Caribbean stud?

James: Gin rummy.

Henry: What, are you kidding me? Why don't we play go fish, James?

James: No.

Henry: Okay. Rummy it is. At least it's got gin in it. So, the deal is, if I win, you let me go, correct?

James: That's the deal.

Henry: Bring it on.

[Bottles clank]

Henry: I should play this game more often. Gin.

James: The game's not over yet, Henry.

[Cell phone rings]

James: Yes?

Derek: We have a situation here.

[Cell phone rings]

Vienna: Hello?

Henry: Hello, Liebchen. Guess who?

Vienna: Oh, Henry! Thank God! Where are you?

Henry: Don't be mad. I've been on a bit of a gambling binge here. Been playing blackjack. In fact, I'm at a blackjack table as we speak.

Vienna: Blackjack? Oh, Henry, this is not good.

Henry: Don't worry, Sweet Lips. I'm on a roll here. Blackjack winning streak. I don't know when I'll be home, but I love you. Don't you forget that? Bye, now.

James: Good work, Henry. I hope she bought it, for your sake.

Henry: Me too.
