Transcripts from TVMegasite [ Knock at the door ] Will: I got it. Henry: Will, great, you're here. Gwen! Good, you're here too! That's two for two. Gwen: Hey, what's going on? Henry: I've been looking all over for you guys. I really need your help.
Henry: Hey! Look who I found! Gwen: Hi. Will: How you doing, Maddie? Maddie: Hi. Henry: Well, she's thrilled to see ya, I can tell you that much. How about an ice cream sundae? What do you say to that? Maddie: Did you guys come on your own, or did Henry ask you to come? Gwen: Well, Henry -- Maddie: That's what I thought. You should go.
Henry: I'll just be in the next room. Maddie: Henry, no, Henry. I don't want them here. Gwen: Why not? Maddie: Why can't you just let me stay by myself? Will: Because that's where we made our first mistake. Doing what you wanted. You said you wanted space, so we gave you space. And we tried to talk to you, and you pushed us away, so we stayed away. Why don't you just listen to what we want? Maddie: Fine. Will: I want to be there for you when you were there for me, when I needed help with calculus. I want to stick up for you the way you stuck up for me even though you knew I cheated. I want to trust you again, because I always could before. Gwen: Can I go? First of all, you have to know that there was nothing going on between Casey and me. Maddie: I know. Gwen: No, you don't. Because when you asked me, I got all defensive about it, instead of just telling the truth, until I made sure that you heard me. And all those times that you saw us together, we were mostly likely talking about how much he loved you, and -- look, anyways, we are friends. We're not competition for each other. Maddie: Thank you. Gwen: Maddie, we got to stick together right now. Especially since so many people that we know -- they're gone now. Will: How is Casey? Maddie: I don't know. Gwen: When are you going to go see him? Maddie: Maybe after he gets home from the hospital. Will: Come on, Maddie. That's how this all started. You pushing Casey away every time he tried to help. You love him? Maddie: Yeah. Gwen: Okay, then let's go. Maddie: I can't. Gwen: Why not? Maddie: Because. If Casey turned away from me now, I don't know if I could take it.
Henry: How's everything going out here? Will: Well, we just talking about going to visiting Casey. Maddie: But I don't to, because I can't face him. Henry: Why not? Maddie: He nearly got killed protecting me. Henry: Honey, eve hurt Casey, not you. Maddie: I know. I just don't think I can see him right now. Henry: Maddie -- Gwen: You know what? Will and I will go. All three of us will visit Casey, that why you feel more comfortable. Maddie: I don't know. Will: Maddie, the guy saved your life. You're his first request post-surgery, and you're going to stand him up? Henry: No, she's not. I think you should go. Will: Well, we should probably sneak her out the back. Gwen: There are reporters down there, just so you know. Maddie: Oh. Henry: Thanks, guys. Come on, it will be okay. It will be okay. Maddie: I don't know. Henry: Yeah, it will. Come on. [ Knock on the door ] Emily: Hey, you up for any visitors? Henry? Oh, I know this is a really dumb question, but what's wrong? Henry: Everything.
Henry: You didn't have anything stronger? Emily: Oh, I could drop a couple of olives in if you want. Henry: No, that's okay. I like my water straight. So, what brings you by? You need a laugh? A loan? Lamaze coach? Emily: Well, I sort of thought you'd be having a hard time today. Henry: Yeah, well, finding out my sister eve is a serial killer, that's a bit of a bummer, I guess. Emily: You know, Henry, I was thinking about all the times you've been there for me when I was down. I think about you dressed up like a clown, and you brought me a dog once. Henry: A stolen dog. Emily: Yeah, well -- I brought you this. Henry: That's just silly, Emily. Thank you. Thank you, I could use silly today. Emily: What else could you use, Henry? Come on, please talk to me. You look so sad. Henry: I'm thinking about packing. You know, how manual labor and Mondays, they always bring me down. Emily: Whoa, wait, you're leaving? Henry: No. Wow, by your reaction, though, it seems like, almost, that you might miss me. Emily: Almost. Okay, so what are you packing? Henry: Oh, so much of this stuff belongs to eve. It's got to be depressing for Maddie. I know it depresses the hell out of me. Emily: Okay, so we'll get rid of it. Henry: We? You're going to help me pack? Emily: Absolutely not. Come on, I'm the pregnant lady. I'm going to supervise. You're going to pack. I mean, it's always easier when you have company, right? Henry: Right, okay. Okay, so then can you put a leash on this guy, don't let him go on the carpet. And -- Emily: And no barking. Henry: Yeah, no barking. Thanks, Em.
Henry: I prayed that this would all be over for her. That they would find the bad guy, and that she could just go back to having a normal, happy, teenage high school life. Emily: Yeah, but she can't, because the bad guy was her big sister. Henry: Yeah, yeah. You know, the funny part is that -- that eve was supposed to be the normal one in the family. Emily: Yeah, faking normal. But hey, look at me, I'm the queen of faking it. So don't you dare kick yourself for being fooled. Henry: Maddie didn't hurt anybody, and she is stuck with all the blame and the guilt. Emily: I know, but, hey, so are you. Henry: I'm not a teenage girl! How is she supposed to deal with all of this? There is so much of it. The rape, and the killings -- her own sister tried to kill her. God! God, I love her, I love her so much, and I have no idea how to help her. Emily: Come here.
Henry: I'm no father figure. She was raped, and -- I don't know what she needs now. Who does know what she needs now? Emily: I think I may have an idea. Henry: Yeah? Emily: Yeah, here's what you do. You tell Maddie you love her every single time you think she needs to hear it. You listen to her when she talks, and you hug her when she cries, and you just be happy when she's happy. You know what, just do what you do for me. Henry: Give her advice that she consistently ignores? Emily: Oh, Henry, just be her best friend.
