Today's show begins where yesterday's left off
- with Henry and Rosanna telling Mike and Carly about the fingerprints.
Only there's a problem Rosanna doesn't know about. Carly is incensed that
not only does Rosanna not obey her wishes to get out, but she calls "this
weasel" into her house. "Miss Cabot, as much as I'd like to
defend myself against your sister's wild accusation, I would like to take the
high road. We need to talk, in private, before this goes any
further," says Henry. Rosanna tells him that she wants Mike and
Carly to be the first to hear about the evidence. Mike tells her whatever
it is they won't take it seriously, so she should just leave before she embarrasses
herself. Rosanna says that Carly should be the one who's embarrassed, and
Mike, since he slept with her again and will hurt people again. "Miss
Cabot, Miss Cabot," continues Henry, trying to pull her away.
"What?" she asks, annoyed, "Did you get an I.D. on the
fingerprints?" Henry hesitates and Rosanna tells him to spit it
out. He breaks the news the fingerprints on the pen don't match the
fingerprints on the champagne glass. Rosanna asks whose prints are on the
glass, and Henry says they belong to Craig Montgomery.

Shocked, Rosanna asks Henry what he means
that Craig's prints are on the glass. "I don't make this stuff up, I
just read the reports," says Henry. Carly accuses Rosanna of trying
to make up proof that she slept with Craig. She insists she didn't sleep
with anyone that night, she was alone, so who cares whose prints are on the
glass? Mike asks Rosanna what happened to her, she's now searching
through garbage and tricking him to get a fingerprint match. Rosanna ignores him and asks Henry how he knows the prints are Craig's. "I
was able to access his prints through various files. The man's been
arrested more times than a Milltown hooker!" says Henry. Realizing
Carly is now a Milltown resident, he apologizes, "Oops, no
offense." Carly again tells Rosanna that she didn't sleep with
Craig. Rosanna says she's not stupid, she knows that Craig was out of
town that night looking for his daughter. "But his prints..."
begins Henry. "Are all over that office!" finishes Carly. Rosanna
tells Henry to wait outside and pushes him out the door. He tells
her they need to talk about his bill as she slams the door in his face. Rosanna
tells Mike and Carly that she doesn't need proof that they slept
together, she knows it. She was young and naive the first time but now
she's older and wiser. "When you two guys get together, lives are
ruined, children suffer, love rots and dies," says Rosanna bitterly, and
she's not going to let it happen again.

Rosanna and Henry are debriefing at the
Lakeview Lounge. Rosanna tells Henry he acted like an idiot
tonight. Henry protests that it's not his fault the fingerprints belong to
Craig. Rosanna says he also made her look like an idiot in front of her
sister. "My heart breaks for you, I'll knock ten percent off your
bill. It was good doing business with you, Miss Cabot," says Henry as
he gets up to leave. "Where do you think you're going?" asks Rosanna
angrily. "I'm going to type up your invoice," answers
Henry.

Rosanna stops Henry from leaving and reminds him of the security guard that
chased him out of Monte Carlo. "She should be able to identify who
Carly was with that night. I want her found." "I want a
cool million and a rose-colored Bentley. Them's the breaks," says
Henry unsympathetically as he brushes past her. "Don't you dare walk
out on me!" says Rosanna, grabbing his arm. Henry again tells her
that it's been nice doing business with her, but it is now concluded because his
partners don't want him to work with her anymore. "Are you a
man?" asks Rosanna cruelly. [Yes he is, that's why he's standing up
to you, Rosanna!] Henry smirks and says he values his freedom, and if he
doesn't toe the line here he could end up in jail. "A great loss to
society," says Rosanna sarcastically. "It may be nothing to
you, but I have three gorgeous blonds and a slew of bartenders depending on
me. Good luck with the snooping, ta ta!" says Henry and walks
out. Rosanna stares after him in disbelief.

Transcripts from ATWTweekly
[ Jack & Carly's House ]
>> Carly: I told you, Rosanna, to take your insane accusations someplace
else! Instead you bring in this weasel for backup?
>> Henry: Um -- Ms. Cabot?
As much
as I would love to defend myself against your sister's wild accusations, I would
like to take the high road. I think we need to talk here in private before this
goes any further.
>> Rosanna: On the contrary, Henry, I want Carly and Mike to be the first
to hear the evidence against them.
>> Mike: Whatever evidence you think you've might have drummed up, we're
not gonna take it seriously, so you might as well leave before you really end up
embarrassing yourself, Rosanna.
>> Rosanna: Carly is the one who should be embarrassed, Mike, and so
should you. You slept with her again. Which is gonna hurt a lot of innocent
people again, and I'm not gonna let you get away with it!
>> Henry: Ms. Cabot, please -- just a moment. Can we just talk in private?
>> Rosanna: What? Did you get the ID on the fingerprint or didn't you?
Didn't you?
>> Henry: Yeah --
>> Rosanna: So spit it out.
>> Henry: The fingerprint from the pen that you gave me for comparison
does not exactly match the print we got from the glass at Monte Carlo.
>> Rosanna: So, whose print is on the glass?
>> Henry: Craig Montgomery's.
[ Jack & Carly's House ]
>> Rosanna: What do you mean, the print on the glass is Craig's? 
>> Henry: I don't make this stuff up, I just read the reports.
>> Carly: You're trying to invent proof that I slept with Craig? I didn't
sleep with anybody that night, Rosanna. I was alone. Who cares whose prints were
on which glass!
>> Mike: What's happened to you, Rosanna?
>> Rosanna: Nothing has happened to me, Mike, except that I've gotten wise
to my sister.
>> Mike: You're snooping through the garbage. Are you proud of that? You
got this guy combing through the trash so you can find my fingerprints. And that
little stunt in the hospital when you dropped the pen? That was to get another
finger print for comparison?
>> Rosanna: How do you know the print on the glass is Craig's?
>> Henry: I was able to access his prints through various files.
The
man's been arrested more times than a Milltown hooker. Oops -- no offense.
>> Carly: Are you listening to me, Rosanna? I was not with Craig!
>> Rosanna: I'm not that stupid, Carly, I know that you weren't with
Craig. He was out of town that night looking for his daughter.
>> Henry: But his prints --
>> Carly: Were all over that office. They're probably on everything in
there.
>> Rosanna: Henry, I want you to wait outside.
>> Henry: Okay, we need to settle the terms of our --
>> Rosanna: [ Rosanna tosses Henry out ] Out! Out! Get out. Out!
>> Carly: You have completely gone off the deep end, you know that don't
you? 
>> Rosanna: I don't think so. I think I'm seeing things much more clearly
than I have in a long time.
>> Mike: But your evidence didn't pan out, though, did it?
>> Rosanna: Well, I don't need a fingerprint to know what is going on with
the two of you. You slept with her the night before her wedding. Period. I know
it. And you know how I know it? Because I can feel it. I was young the first
time that you two betrayed me. Too young to know what was really going on. But
I'm older now, and wise enough to see what it all means. The little looks, the
so-called "friendship," the gentle touches.
>> Carly: You don't know what you're talking about.
>> Rosanna: I am not gonna deny what I see with my own eyes. When you two
guys are together, lives get ruined. Children suffer. Friendships wither. Love
rots and dies. And it's not fair. And it's not right. I am not gonna let it
happen again. [ Rosanna leaves ]
>> Carly: She's crazy.
>> Mike: Maybe. Maybe not.
[ Lakeview Lounge ]
>> Rosanna: You acted like an idiot tonight. 
>> Henry: It's not my fault the fingerprints turned out to be Craig's.
>> Rosanna: You made me look like an idiot in front of my sister.
>> Henry: Oh, well, you know what? My heart breaks for you. And I will
knock off 10% from your bill. Good doing business with you, Ms. Cabot.
>> Rosanna: Where do you think you're going?
>> Henry: I'm gonna go type up your invoice?
>> Rosanna: Not so fast. There's the matter of a rather large security
guard that chased you out of the Monte Carlo offices that night. I'm sure she
will be able to I.D. the man that Carly was with. I want her found.
>> Henry: I want a cool million and a rose-colored Bentley. Dem's da
breaks, okay?
>> Rosanna: Don't you dare walk out on me!
>> Henry: Ms. Cabot -- Ms. Cabot, it has been nice doing business with
you.
But it is now concluded. Okay? As I
told you, my partners are not keen on pursuing this any longer.
>> Rosanna: Are you a man?
>> Henry: Look -- look, Ms. Cabot, I value my freedom, okay? And if I
don't toe the line here, I could end up in jail.
>> Rosanna: A great loss to society, I'm sure.
>> Henry: Okay, maybe it means nothing to you. But you know what? I've got
three gorgeous blonds and a slew of bartenders that are depending on me, okay?
So good luck snooping. Ta-ta.
