Tuesday, November 8, 2005 Mike is talking to the man at the front desk at the Lakeview. Apparently the manager called Mike and asked to meet him about renovations. However, the manager is on vacation at the moment. Frustrated, Mike starts to leave. Henry peeks out from behind a paper, and Mike spots him. He rips the paper down and Henry says innocently, "Mike, what a coincidence." "What are you doing here, Henry?" asks Mike. "Catching up on current events," smiles Henry. "It was you. You left the message," accuses Mike. "What message?" asks Henry. "Or did you slip somebody a 20 to pretend to be the manager?" asks Mike. "Like I have 20s to be throwing around, Mike," laughs Henry. "Your boss does. Why does B.J. want me down here?" asks Mike. "I have no idea what you're talking about," says Henry, beginning to walk away. "Don't waste my time, Henry. You better tell me what's going on," demands Mike, shoving Henry up against the wall. "Hey, easy there, big fella. I'm just here for the buffet," says Henry. "Listen, I'm not messing with you. You better tell me right now. You better tell me right now or I'm gonna break you in two," threatens Mike. "Okay, okay, okay. I surrender. Yes, yes, I had someone make the call to get you down here. I did it, I was guilty," says Henry, breaking loose of Mike's grip. "Why? Why does B.J. want me out of the way this time?" asks Mike. "He doesn't, Mike," says Henry. "The truth, Henry," demands Mike. "I swear, I swear," promises Henry. "On whose grave?" asks Mike. "If I had made the call, would you have come down here?" wonders Henry. Mike asks him what he wants, and Henry says he wants to apologize. "Too late," says Mike. "Mike, Mike, the Halloween party, it was a very confusing night. I had no idea that B.J. Was gonna turn his room into his own stairway to heaven, all right? The guy's a couple of gigabytes short of a desktop, okay?" says Henry. "You sold out your best friend, Henry," accuses Mike. "No, no, I didn't do that. I didn't know. I knew he was tripping down memory lane, or maybe just tripping, I don't know. I had no idea he would go that far. None," insists Henry. "Katie could have been raped," says Mike. "He is a nerd with an old crush," says Henry. "Did you see that room?" asks Mike. "Yeah, I think that was a bit extreme, Mike," agrees Henry. "What kind of guy goes to those lengths? The kind of guy who's so out of touch with reality he thinks he can take whatever he wants, Henry," says Mike. "You have to understand, I had no idea that Katie was in danger. He told me he was gonna go up there and come clean. That he was going to tell her who he really was and say it was all part of the game so that she wouldn't be angry at him. You have to know I would never participate in anything that would put my Bubbles in danger!" says Henry. "I don't know what you want anymore, Henry. Except maybe revenge," says Mike. "On Katie?" asks Henry. "On me. Katie just got in the middle. I get it now. You want to hurt me for hurting you," accuses Mike. "Hey, if I was hell-bent on revenge, it would be pistols at dawn. Or a quick hit from a Jersey boy named Knuckles," jokes Henry. "I'm serious," says Mike. "I am not out to get you, Mike," insists Henry. "Then why'd you lock me in the wine cellar?" asks Mike. "Because it was supposed to be part of the game. I wasn't thinking, I was just following orders. And you're right. You are right. I am not over Katie. I will never get over Katie. And that's a moot point because I never had her. She's yours. I didn't understand that," says Henry. Mike asks Henry to quit working for BJ, "If you care about Katie so much, prove it." "No, not while I have the advantage, Mike. While I'm there, if B.J. makes a move, I am all over it. You gotta understand, I would never do anything to make her unhappy again," promises Henry. "You know what, tell that to B.J. You are a sellout, Henry. I'm just glad Katie isn't here to see how far you've fallen," says Mike. He walks away and Henry asks, "Why did I get out of bed this morning?" Meanwhile, Jack has taken a job with the FBI investigating BJ. He tried to get BJ to hire him for security, but when BJ found out he used to be a cop he turned him down. Jack has just met with the FBI agent at Java and promised him he'll find a way into BJ's life. Just after the FBI agent leaves, Henry arrives to get a cup of coffee. "Some days you just get lucky," smiles Jack. Today’s episode was directed by John O'Connell and written by Judith Donato.

FBI agent: I can't afford any problems, jack. Whatever I get on B.J. Green, it's got to stick. Jack: It'll be by the book. FBI agent: I took a risk putting you on this. Jack: Yeah, I know that, Howell, and I appreciate it. FBI agent: No improvising. Jack: I hear you. FBI agent: Look, it's a non-issue. Green's never going to hire you now anyway. Jack: No, there are other ways in. FBI agent: Do I want to know? Jack: Perfectly legit. I'll call you as soon as I'm set up. FBI agent: Fair enough. Jack: Some days you just get lucky.
