 LUCY: HI.
 SCOTT: OH, COME ON.
 LUCY: NO, NO, SCOTT,
PLEASE, PLEASE, JUST GIVE ME ONE
MINUTE OF YOUR TIME -- ONE
MINUTE.
I'M BEGGING YOU.
JUST ONE MINUTE, PLEASE?
 SCOTT: 45 SECONDS.
 LUCY: OK.
LISTEN, I -- I KNOW HOW MUCH
I MISS SERENA.
I MEAN, I JUST KNOW SHE MISSES
ME, TOO.
FROM THE WAY SHE HUGGED ME
AT THE HOSPITAL, I COULD TELL.
LISTEN, I GOT THESE TICKETS
TO THE CIRCUS IN THE MAIL.
YOU KNOW, I ORDERED THEM
BEFORE -- WELL, WHAT HAPPENED.
 SCOTT: LUCY, LUCY --
 LUCY: PLEASE --
 SCOTT: WHAT IS SERENA GOING
TO DO AT THE CIRCUS, YOU KNOW?
SHE CAN'T SEE THE CLOWNS.
 LUCY: BUT I COULD DESCRIBE
EVERYTHING TO HER, YOU KNOW,
AND WE COULD GIGGLE LIKE
WE ALWAYS DO AND GET
COTTON CANDY ALL OVER AND EAT
CORNY DOGS THAT SHE LOVES.
YOU KNOW, WE COULD DO ALL THAT.
 SCOTT: WHAT DO YOU WANT
FROM ME?
 LUCY: I WANT ANOTHER
CHANCE -- JUST ANOTHER CHANCE.
 SCOTT: YOU USED THAT CHANCE
UP WHEN YOU SIPHONED THE GAS OUT
OF EVE'S CAR.
 LUCY: DON'T YOU THINK I'M
GOING TO BE PAYING FOR THAT?
I'M GOING TO BE TRYING TO MAKE
UP FOR THAT THE REST OF MY LIF
BUT YOU CAN'T LET ME NOT SEE
SERENA.
I CAN ONLY DO IT IF YOU LET ME
SEE HER.
 SCOTT: LUCY, YOU GOT
TO UNDERSTAND SOMETHING, OK?
THERE'S NO MORE CHANCES.
THERE'S NO MORE WORKING IT OUT.
THERE'S NO MORE NOTHING.
YOU BLEW IT!
 LUCY: NO, YOU -- YOU CANNOT
DO THIS.
YOU CANNOT JUST SHUT ME OUT
OF HER LIFE FOREVER.
PLEASE.
 SCOTT: I AM GOING TO DO
EVERYTHING IN MY POWER TO KEEP
SERENA AWAY FROM YOU AND PROTECT
HER, OK?
SO SCRAM.
LEAVE US ALONE.
 SERENA: WHO WAS THAT?
 SCOTT: OH, IT WAS
THE FULLER BRUSH MAN.
SO, WHAT'S UP?
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
 SERENA: I DID WHAT YOU SAID.
I POURED MYSELF A GLASS OF MILK.
AND I SPILLED SOME, BUT THEN
I GOT US SOME COOKIES.
I DID THAT ALL BY MYSELF.
 SCOTT: WELL, THAT'S TERRIFIC.
AREN'T YOU THE LITTLE HOSTESS
WITH THE MOSTEST THERE, HUH?
 SERENA: YEAH.
 SCOTT: OH! OH!
ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?
 SERENA: I HIT THAT STUPID
TABLE AGAIN.
 SCOTT: WELL, THAT'S OK.
BUT, YOU KNOW, NEXT TIME YOU'LL
REMEMBER THAT THAT TABLE IS
THERE.
 SERENA: I TOLD YOU I COULDN'T
DO IT.
[CAPTIONING MADE POSSIBLE BY
U.S. DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION]
 SCOTT: YOU KNOW,
THE IMPORTANT THING IS THAT
YOU TRIED.
YOU TRIED.
 SERENA: BUT I FELL.
 SCOTT: YEAH, YOU MADE A MESS.
BIG DEAL.
I'LL CLEAN IT UP.
 SERENA: I CAN'T DO ANYTHING
WITHOUT FALLING OR BUMPING
INTO SOMETHING.
 SCOTT: WELL, I BUMP AND FALL
ALL THE TIME.
EVERYBODY'S ALWAYS AFRAID
OF THAT.
 SERENA: BUT TODAY STUNK.
THE MAN AT THE STORE KNEW
I COULDN'T SEE, SO HE TALKED
REAL LOUD, LIKE I COULDN'T HEAR!
AND THEN NORMA IN GROUP WANTED
ME TO SAY SOMETHING,
BUT I DIDN'T FEEL LIKE IT.
 SCOTT: WELL, THERE'S NO LAW
THAT SAYS THAT YOU HAVE TO SPEAK
IN GROUP EVERY TIME YOU'RE
IN THERE.
 SERENA: I BET I BROKE
THE PHONE.
 SCOTT: WELL, LET'S SEE.
NOPE.
THE PHONE IS WORKING FINE.
 SERENA: IT DOESN'T MATTER
ANYWAY.
NONE OF MY FRIENDS EVER CALL ME.
 SCOTT: NOW, THAT'S NOT TRUE.
NEIL CALLS.
 SERENA: MISSY NEVER CALLS.
SHE DOESN'T WANT TO HAVE
A SLEEPOVER.
WE CAN'T DO THINGS WE USED
TO BEFORE.
WE CAN'T EVEN HAVE PILLOW
FIGHTS.
I CAN'T DO ANYTHING ANYMORE.
 LUCY: I JUST STOPPED
BY TO LET YOU KNOW THAT YOU WERE
RIGHT.
I'M STILL THE TOWN PARIAH.
NO ONE'S SPEAKING TO ME EXCEPT
LUKE, YOU KNOW, AND HE'S LEAVING
TOWN, SO --
BUT I CAN SEE YOU'RE BUSY
AND YOU HAVE LOTS TO DO, AND I'M
GLAD TO SEE YOU'RE UP
AND AROUND, SO I'M GOING TO GO.
SOME OTHER TIME.
 ELLEN: WAIT, WAIT, WAIT.
WAIT A MINUTE.
SO I'M THE ONLY ONE LEFT
IN THE LUCY COE FAN CLUB.
 LUCY: YEAH, WELL, YOU HAVE
TO BE SINCE I SAVED YOUR LIFE.
 ELLEN: MM-HMM.
WELL, I CAN'T THINK OF A BETTER
REASON FOR MEMBERSHIP.
SO THAT CAN WAIT, AND YOU COME
ON OVER HERE.
LET'S HAVE IT.
 LUCY: I TRIED TO MEET
WITH SCOTT AGAIN, AND I --
I STOPPED BY AND --
WELL, ONCE AGAIN, TRUTHFULLY,
HE SLAMMED THE DOOR RIGHT
IN MY FACE.
IT SEEMS HE DOESN'T REALLY EVER
WANT ME TO SEE SERENA AGAIN,
AND TO HIM, I DON'T EVEN EXIST
ANYMORE.
AND SO ON THE WAY, WHEN I WAS
CRYING SO HARD I COULDN'T SEE
OR THINK STRAIGHT OR ANYTHING,
I HAD SOMETHING COME TO MY MIND
THAT I BELIEVE SCOTT'S RIGHT.
 ELLEN: ABOUT WHAT?
 LUCY: ABOUT ME.
AND I -- I THINK THAT KEVIN'S
RIGHT, TOO.
WHO IN THEIR RIGHT MIND WOULD
REALLY WANT A PERSON LIKE ME
IN THEIR LIFE?
 ELLEN: OH, WAIT A MINUTE.
 LUCY: NO, NO, WAIT A MINUTE.
YOU WAIT.
JUST LISTEN, JUST FOR
A SECOND, OK?
YOU KNOW THAT SCOTT AND KEVIN
ARE BOTH VERY GOOD, GOOD PEOPLE,
RIGHT?
AND SO WHEN I CAME TO THAT
REALIZATION, IT OCCURRED TO ME
THAT I NEED TO ASK MYSELF WHAT
KIND OF PERSON I AM.
AND WHAT HIT ME WAS PRETTY BAD,
AND IT SMACKED ME RIGHT
IN THE FACE.
 ELLEN: WHAT WAS YOUR
CONCLUSION?
 LUCY: I'M ROTTEN.
THAT SIMPLE.
I REALIZED THAT IF YOU TOOK
A CALENDAR OUT OF YOUR LITTLE
DESK DRAWER AND YOU LOOKED
AT EVERY SINGLE DAY ON THAT
CALENDAR AND YOU ASKED,
"WHAT DID LUCY COE DO ON THAT
DAY," YOU WOULD REALIZE I DID
SOMETHING ROTTEN TO SOMEBODY
ON THAT DAY AT LEAST SOMEHOW,
IN SOME WAY.
WELL, SCRATCH THAT.
BEFORE DOMINIQUE, THAT WAS
ABSOLUTELY TRUE.
AND THEN AFTER DOMINIQUE, I --
WELL, LOOK WHAT HAS HAPPENED.
I CAN'T EVEN GET AWAY FROM IT.
 ELLEN: DOMINIQUE?
IS THIS DOMINIQUE BALDWIN?
 LUCY: YEAH.
UH-HUH.
SHE WAS MY FIRST, REALLY,
FRIEND, AND SHE TOLD ME --
SHE ACTUALLY TAUGHT ME THAT
PEOPLE COULD BE GOOD TO EACH
OTHER.
BEFORE THAT, I REALLY HAD
NO IDEA.
 ELLEN: YOU VALUED
HER OPINION.
 LUCY: OH, YEAH, VERY,
VERY MUCH.
 ELLEN: WELL, IF SHE WAS
YOUR FRIEND, SHE MUST'VE KNOWN
THAT YOU WERE NOT A BAD PERSON.
 LUCY: YES AND NO.
I THINK THAT SHE SAW ME FOR WHAT
I WAS AND SHE JUST CHOSE TO SEE
THE GOOD.
 ELLEN: YOU MEAN THERE'S
ACTUALLY A SHRED OF DECENCY
IN EVIL LUCY COE?
 LUCY: THE TRUTH OF THE MATTER
IS SHE TRUSTED ME WITH THE MOST
IMPORTANT THING IN THE WHOLE
WORLD -- CARRYING HER CHILD --
AND I DID THAT.
AND WHEN I GAVE BIRTH TO SERENA,
ON THAT DAY, I SWORE THAT
I WOULD PROTECT THAT LITTLE
GIRL, I WOULD TAKE SUCH GOOD
CARE OF HER.
 ELLEN: LUCY --
 LUCY: NO, I -- I DIDN'T
DO IT.
I DID EXACTLY THE OPPOSITE,
DIDN'T I?
I TRULY HURT SERENA.
 ELLEN: LUCY, YOU KNOW,
YOU MAY BE FIGHTING REAL HARD
TO BELIEVE THAT DOMINIQUE WAS
WRONG ABOUT YOU, BUT DON'T
EXPECT ME TO JOIN IN.
IT IS OBVIOUS TO ME THAT SHE HAD
YOU RIGHT ON THE MONEY
FROM THE START.
 EVE: KEVIN.
 KEVIN: WELL, I MUST SAY,
SOME PEOPLE NEVER LOOK RIGHT
DINING ALONE.
YOU MUST BE WAITING FOR SOMEONE.
 EVE: CHRIS RAMSEY STOOD ME UP
FOR AN ANGRY APPENDIX.
ARE YOU HERE DINING ALONE?
 KEVIN: THAT WAS THE PLAN.
 EVE: WELL, I'D LOVE IT
IF YOU WOULD JOIN ME.
I REALIZE THAT I'M NOT ONE
OF YOUR FAVORITE PEOPLE RIGHT
NOW AFTER WHAT I DID
AT YOUR WEDDING, AND I'D LIKE
TO MAKE AMENDS FOR IT IF YOU'D
LET ME.

 LUCY: DON'T YOU SIT THERE
WITH A STRAIGHT FACE AND TELL ME
THAT I AM NOT A BAD PERSON,
BECAUSE THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT
YOU SAID AT THE CABIN.
 ELLEN: WHAT I SHOULD HAVE
SAID WAS THAT YOU DID A BAD
THING.
BUT YOU CAN'T SEE BEYOND
SOMETHING THAT YOU DID
ON YOUR WORST DAY.
 LUCY: OH, MY WHOLE LIFE
HAPPENS TO BE A COMPILATION
OF WORST DAYS.
NO ONE'S GOING TO WRITE
THE "LUCY COE -- GREATEST HITS
OF HER LIFE" BOOK.
 ELLEN: YOU KNOW, MY MOM
ALWAYS SAYS THAT WE ARE NOT
OUR WORST DAYS.
WE'RE NOT OUR BEST DAYS.
IT IS THE SUM TOTAL OF ALL
OF OUR DAYS THAT MAKE US WHO
WE ARE.
 LUCY: I AM SURE THAT YOU HAVE
HAD SOME VERY BAD DAYS,
BUT YOUR WORST DAY DOESN'T EQUAL
RUINING SOMEBODY'S LIFE,
ESPECIALLY NOT A LITTLE CHILD'S.
 ELLEN: WELL, DOES CAUSING
SOMEONE'S DEATH COUNT AS BAD
ENOUGH?
THE FIRST TIME I LOST A PATIENT,
I FELT LIKE A MURDERER.
 LUCY: WELL, YOU'RE A DOCTOR.
DOCTORS CAN'T SAVE EVERYBODY.
 ELLEN: NO, WE CAN'T.
BUT THAT MAN SHOULD'VE BEEN
SAVED.
HE DIED BECAUSE HE HAD
AN ALLERGIC REACTION TO A DRUG
I GAVE HIM.
 LUCY: I'M SURE YOU COULDN'T
HAVE KNOWN.
 ELLEN: IT WAS MY
RESPONSIBILITY TO FIND OUT.
IT WAS ONLY THE THIRD WEEK
OF MY INTERNSHIP, AND I FOUND
MYSELF IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION
WITH NO ATTENDING PHYSICIAN
ANYWHERE IN SIGHT.
I THOUGHT IF I DIDN'T ADMINISTER
THE DRUG THAT HE WOULD
DEFINITELY DIE.
I ALSO KNEW THAT HIS CHANCES
OF HAVING A BAD REACTION
TO THE MEDICATION WAS SLIM.
SO INSTEAD OF WAITING
FOR A CONSULT, INSTEAD
OF WAITING TILL I COULD GET
HIS MEDICAL HISTORY,
I GAMBLED.
I MEAN, EVERYONE SAID THAT IT
WAS AN URGENT SITUATION
AND I DID THE BEST I COULD.
BUT I KNOW THAT THAT MAN DIED
BECAUSE OF ME.
 LUCY: WOW.
WELL, I GUESS IT'S JUST LIKE
I KNOW THAT SERENA IS BLIND
BECAUSE OF ME.
 ELLEN: BUT THAT WAS
YOUR WORST DAY.
BUT ONE OF YOUR BEST DAYS WAS
SAVING ME FROM DROWNING IN THAT
WELL.
 LUCY: WELL, YOU KNOW, I HAD
NO CHOICE.
I JUST DID WHAT I HAD TO DO.
 ELLEN: MOST ORDINARY PEOPLE
WOULD'VE GIVEN UP, LUCY.
YOU KEPT PLUGGING AWAY UNTIL
YOU FOUND THE SOLUTION
AND SAVED ME.
 LUCY: YOU JUST HIT THE NAIL
RIGHT ON THE HEAD.
DON'T YOU SEE?
ORDINARY -- ORDINARY PEOPLE
WOULD NOT CONCOCT SOME PLAN THAT
CAUSES A CHILD TO GO BLIND.
 ELLEN: YOU DIDN'T PLAN
TO HURT SERENA.
THAT WAS A MISTAKE THAT YOU WILL
HAVE TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY
FOR AS LONG AS YOU LIVE.
BUT YOU ALSO HAVE TO ACCEPT THAT
YOU ARE AN EXTRAORDINARY PERSON.
AND WHEN REMARKABLE PEOPLE SCREW
UP, THEY DO IT WITH A LOT MORE
FIREWORKS THAN YOUR AVERAGE
PERSON.
BUT PEOPLE LIKE YOU ALSO PERFORM
WONDERS WHILE THE REST OF US
JUST STAND AROUND WATCHING.
I MEAN, ISN'T IT TIME TO ACCEPT
THE GOOD THAT YOU'VE DONE
AND WANT TO DO?
I MEAN, AT LEAST AS MUCH
AS YOU PUNISH YOURSELF
FOR THE DARK SIDE OF YOUR LIFE.
 LUCY: HOW IN THE WORLD DO
I DO THAT?
 ELLEN: STOP BEATING YOURSELF
UP, FOR STARTERS.
OTHER THAN THAT, ONLY YOU CAN
SAY.
 SCOTT: YOU KNOW,
WHEN YOU WERE A BABY, I USED
TO GO TO THE BOOKSTORE AND I'D
BUY ALL THESE BOOKS THAT
I THOUGHT THAT YOU'D LIKE
TO READ.
 SERENA: BUT I COULDN'T READ
WHEN I WAS A BABY.
 SCOTT: WELL, YEAH,
BUT THEY WERE BOOKS THAT
I WANTED TO READ TO YOU.
 SERENA: IS THAT WHY WE HAVE
SO MANY BOOKS?
 SCOTT: THAT'S RIGHT.
AND THERE'S THIS PARTICULAR BOOK
THAT COMES TO MIND THAT I THINK
IS JUST PERFECT FOR THIS
OCCASION.
IT'S ABOUT A BOY NAMED
ALEXANDER.
 SERENA: OH, NOT THAT STORY.
PLEASE, DADDY, NOT THAT STORY.
 SCOTT: PLEASE? PLEASE?
COME ON, IT'S MY FAVORITE STORY.
PLEASE, COME ON, LET ME READ IT
TO YOU, OK, OK, OK?
 SERENA: OK.
 SCOTT: OK, GOOD.
ALL RIGHT.
"ALEXANDER AND THE TERRIBLE,
HORRIBLE, NO GOOD, VERY BAD
DAY," BY JUDITH VIORST,
ILLUSTRATED BY RAY CRUZ.
 SERENA: BUT HIS DAY WASN'T
AS BAD AS MINE.
 SCOTT: OH?
WELL, LET'S SEE ABOUT THAT.
OK.
WAIT A MINUTE.
HERE WE GO.
"I WENT TO SLEEP WITH GUM
IN MY MOUTH, AND NOW THERE'S GUM
IN MY HAIR.
WHEN I GOT OUT OF BED THIS
MORNING, I TRIPPED ON
THE SKATEBOARD AND, BY MISTAKE,
I DROPPED MY SWEATER IN THE SINK
WHILE THE WATER WAS RUNNING,
AND I COULD TELL IT WAS GOING
TO BE A TERRIBLE, HORRIBLE,
NO GOOD, VERY BAD DAY."
 SERENA: I COULD TELL WHEN
I HURT MY KNEE ON THE CHAIR
WHILE I WAS GETTING DRESSED.
 SCOTT: WELL, YOU SEE?
STUFF LIKE THIS HAPPENS
TO EVERYONE.
"AT SCHOOL, MRS. DICKENS LIKED
PAUL'S PICTURE OF THE SAILBOAT
BETTER THAN MY PICTURE
OF THE INVISIBLE CASTLE.
I COULD TELL THAT IT WAS GOING
TO BE A TERRIBLE, HORRIBLE,
NO GOOD, VERY BAD --"
 SERENA: "DAY."
 SCOTT: THERE YOU GO.
NOW YOU'RE GETTING THE SWING
OF IT.
 SERENA: I CAN'T REMEMBER
WHAT'S NEXT.
 SCOTT: "AT SINGING TIME,
SHE SAID I SANG TOO LOUD.
AT COUNTING TIME, SHE SAID
I LEFT OUT 16.
WHO NEEDS 16?
I COULD TELL IT WAS GOING TO BE
A TERRIBLE, HORRIBLE --"
 SERENA and SCOTT: "NO GOOD,
VERY BAD DAY."
 EVE: HOW'S YOUR CHICKEN?
 KEVIN: FINE.
 EVE: OK.
OK, I CAN PLAY THIS "NOTHING'S
WRONG" GAME, BUT ONLY IF YOU TRY
HARDER.
 KEVIN: IT'S THAT OBVIOUS,
HUH?
 EVE: OH, NO.
YOU'RE AS HAPPY AS A CLAM.
 KEVIN: OK.
I -- I WENT TO THE MENTAL
INSTITUTION THE OTHER DAY
TO VISIT LARK'S MOTHER.
DID YOU KNOW SHE BOUGHT A VOICE
ACTIVATOR JUST LIKE THE ONE
FOUND IN THE SCANLONS' HOME?
 EVE: KAREN TOLD ME ABOUT IT.
 KEVIN: DID SHE ALSO TELL
YOU THAT GREG COOPER'S
AT THE SAME HOSPITAL?
 EVE: ISN'T THAT JUST
THE WEIRDEST COINCIDENCE?
 KEVIN: BUT IS IT
COINCIDENTAL?
THAT'S WHAT WE'D LIKE TO FIND
OUT.
 EVE: WHO'S "WE"?
 KEVIN: IF I TELL
YOU SOMETHING, CAN YOU SWEAR
TO ME THAT YOU'LL KEEP IT
A SECRET?
MY FATHER'S LIFE MIGHT DEPEND
ON IT.
 EVE: I SWEAR, KEVIN.
LISTEN, IT MEANS A LOT THAT
YOU TRUST ME, AND I PROMISE
I WILL NOT LET YOU DOWN.
 KEVIN: VICTOR CAME UP
WITH AN IDEA TO PRETEND THAT
HE'S ILL SO HE COULD GO BACK
INTO THE INSTITUTION TO FIND OUT
IF COOPER OR LARK'S MOTHER HAVE
ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE MURDERS.
I HATED THIS PLAN AS SOON
AS I HEARD IT, BUT VICTOR WAS
DETERMINED TO DO IT WHETHER
I HELPED HIM OR NOT.
I THOUGHT I WAS DOING FINE
WITH IT UNTIL I LEFT HIM THERE.
IF COOPER DOES HAVE SOMETHING
TO DO WITH THE MURDERS,
MY FATHER COULD BE A TARGET.

IT'S...

Stop by Aisle 5
for Clairol's Herbal Essences.
It takes you where
no shampoo has... GONE BEFORE.

YES!
 IT WILL LEAVE YOUR HAIR
 LOOKING BEAUTIFUL.
YES!
YES!
IF YOU THINK THAT'S GREAT...
TRY THE BODY WASH.
( giggling )
Clairol's Herbal Essences.
 EVE: I MEAN, DON'T GET ME
WRONG --
VICTOR IS A BRILLIANT,
BRILLIANT MAN --
BUT COMMITTING HIM TO A MENTAL
INSTITUTION TO CATCH A HOMICIDAL
MANIAC SOUNDS A BIT IFFY.
 KEVIN: WHAT IT SOUNDS LIKE IS
ONE OF LUCY'S IDEAS.
 EVE: WELL, I WASN'T GOING
TO SAY THAT, BUT IS IT?
ARE YOU AND LUCY BACK TOGETHER?
 KEVIN: NO, WE'RE NOT.
NO, THIS IS VICTOR'S IDEA
FROM BEGINNING TO END.
LUCY AND VICTOR ARE A LOT MORE
ALIKE THAN I CARE TO THINK
ABOUT.
 EVE: SO IF YOU'RE GOING TO GO
ALONG WITH THIS PLAN, THAT MUST
MEAN THAT YOU DON'T THINK JULIE
COMMITTED THESE MURDERS.
 KEVIN: NO.
BUT WITH JULIE'S TRIAL STARTING
TOMORROW, I FELT THAT WE HAD
TO DO SOMETHING DRASTIC.
MAYBE THE KILLER WOULD LET
HIS GUARD DOWN.
 EVE: WELL, HOW DO YOU PLAN
ON COMMUNICATING WITH VICTOR
ON THE INSIDE?
 KEVIN: HE'S A VOLUNTARY
ADMISSION.
HE DOESN'T HAVE RESTRICTIONS
ON PHONE CALLS OR VISITORS.
 EVE: WHAT IF I POSE
AS AN ORDERLY, AND THAT WAY
I CAN SCOPE OUT THE INSIDE
INFORMATION.
I CAN GET BACK TO YOU ON,
LIKE, THE DIFFERENT ANGLES
AND STUFF?
HOW ABOUT THAT?
 KEVIN: NO, NO, NO.
 EVE: COME ON.
 KEVIN: NO.
FIRST OF ALL, POSING
AS AN ORDERLY IN A MEDICAL
FACILITY WON'T BE SUCH A CAREER
BOOST FOR YOU IF YOU GET CAUGHT.
AND I'D LIKE TO TRY AND CONTAIN
THE COLLATERAL DAMAGE TO PEOPLE
I CARE ABOUT ON THIS ONE.
 EVE: DOES THAT MEAN I'M
ON THE LIST OF PEOPLE YOU CARE
ABOUT?
DO YOU FORGIVE ME FOR
INTERRUPTING YOUR WEDDING?
 KEVIN: I'LL NEVER LIKE WHAT
YOU DID.
 EVE: I DID WHAT I DID
BECAUSE I HAD TO.
LUCY LEFT ME NO CHOICE, KEVIN.
 KEVIN: AND WE ARE NEVER GOING
TO AGREE ON WHAT YOUR OTHER
OPTIONS MIGHT HAVE BEEN,
SO LET'S JUST DROP IT.
AND WE'LL AGREE THAT FRIENDS
DON'T ALWAYS SEE EYE TO EYE.
 EVE: INSTEAD OF YOU GOING
BACK TO THAT BIG, OLD,
EMPTY LIGHTHOUSE, WHAT DO
YOU SAY WE GO FOR A WALK
OR SOMETHING?
 KEVIN: IT'S THAT OBVIOUS
I DON'T WANT TO GO HOME, EITHER?
PLACE IS AWFULLY QUIET
WITHOUT LUCY AND VICTOR THESE
DAYS.
THE SILENCE
MAKES ME ASK QUESTIONS I DON'T
HAVE ANSWERS FOR.
 LUCY: HI.
I HAVEN'T BEEN HERE IN A WHILE,
HUH?
I -- I HOPE YOU CAN FORGIVE ME.
I WAS JUST SO ASHAMED ABOUT WHAT
HAS HAPPENED, I WASN'T SURE
I COULD EVEN EVER FACE
YOU AGAIN.
BUT I AM HERE BECAUSE I FINALLY
GOT THE GUTS TO SAY,
DOMINIQUE, I AM SO SORRY.
I AM REALLY SORRY FOR WHAT
HAPPENED TO SERENA.
BUT NOT ONLY THAT, I AM SORRY
THAT I HAVE NOT LIVED UP
TO THE PERSON THAT YOU SHOWED ME
I COULD BE.
SEE, I JUST -- I DIDN'T WANT
TO SHARE SERENA.
I DIDN'T THINK THAT SHE COULD
LOVE ME THE SAME, YOU KNOW,
WITH SOMEONE ELSE IN HER LIFE.
I THOUGHT HER LOVE WAS A FINITE
THING.
SO I TRIED TO CUT EVE COMPLETELY
OUT OF HER LIFE, AND THAT WAS
SUCH A SHAMEFUL, HUMILIATING
THING TO DO.
AND IT COST ME MY DOC, AND IT
COST ME MY FRIENDSHIP
WITH SCOTT, AND IT HURT
OUR DAUGHTER.
AND SO RIGHT NOW, EVERYTHING
THAT IS PERMEATING MY LIFE IS
ABOUT SERENA.
SERENA IS PERMEATING MY WHOLE
WORLD, AND
I WANTED TO BE THE KIND
OF PERSON THAT SERENA COULD BE
PROUD OF AND THAT YOU COULD BE
PROUD OF.
I JUST DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO GO
ABOUT IT.
I DIDN'T KNOW HOW.
AND THEN IT DAWNED ON ME THAT
I NEED TO LIVE MY LIFE SO THAT
I CAN BE PROUD OF ME.
CAN YOU IMAGINE A PERSON LIVING
THEIR LIFE LIKE THAT?
OF COURSE YOU CAN, BECAUSE
YOU DID THAT.
WELL, NOW IT'S MY TURN.
 SCOTT: "THE CAT WANTS
TO SLEEP WITH ANTHONY,
NOT WITH ME.
IT'S BEEN A TERRIBLE,
HORRIBLE, NO GOOD, VERY BAD DAY.
MY MOM SAYS SOME DAYS ARE
LIKE THAT --
EVEN IN AUSTRALIA."
WELL,
I GUESS EVERYBODY HAS BAD DAYS,
HUH?
 SERENA: MM-HMM, EVEN
IN PORT CHARLES.
 SCOTT: ESPECIALLY
IN PORT CHARLES.
 SERENA: I'M TIRED.
THAT WAS A GOOD BOOK, BUT I'M
TIRED.
I THINK I'M GOING TO GO UP
TO MY BED.
DADDY, COULD I PLEASE HAVE
MY CANE?
 SCOTT: YOU BET.
 SERENA: I THINK I'M GOING
TO TRY AND GO UPSTAIRS ALL
BYYSELF.
 SCOTT: HEY, THAT'S A GREAT
IDEA.
CAPITAL IDEA.
 SERENA: MAYBE TOMORROW WON'T
BE SO BAD AFTER ALL.
 SCOTT: LET'S KEEP OUR FINGERS
CROSSED, HUH?
 SERENA: OK.
THAT'S A GOOD IDEA.
 SERENA: ONE, TWO,
THREE, FOUR --
 SCOTT: TOMORROW'S GOING TO BE
A GOOD DAY.
I KNOW IT.
 SERENA: SEVEN, EIGHT, NINE --
