90210 (2008–2013): Season 5, Episode 20 - You Can't Win 'em All - full transcript

Previously on 90210:

I've been thinking a lot
about the other night.

It reminded me of all
our old drama with Silver.

Us hooking up is so not
worth all that again.

You had a lot of great lyrics.

I just... moved things around a bit.

It's exactly how I feel about Navid.

- Your crush is on Navid?
- Yeah.

The entire country is on a witch hunt

for Patterson's real identity.

If you hurt my family,
I'll come after yours.



The stories in your book

are allegedly based upon

- true events in your life.
- Yeah.

Annabelle is me.

I woke up to find the press
on my lawn this morning.

You brought this all upon yourself.

This bag belong to you, sir?

- Yes.
- You're under arrest for drug possession.

Ooh. I cannot believe
we signed Cassie McCoy.

My mom's my manager.

She found out you live with Annie Wilson.

She doesn't want me associated with you.

You don't want to give

you and me a chance because you don't



think I can handle your mother?

We're just getting to
know the real Naomi Clark.

I don't have to care what
you or anyone else thinks.

I've never seen any woman
ever stand up to my mother.

Whether she likes it or
not, I want to date you.

This TV contest is gonna be huge.

The only reason I let you
try is because Dixon said

there was no chance that you'd win.

I was just listening to our song.

Silver says it's so
good we can't send it in.

Until I have this baby,
Silver calls the shots.

Well, she doesn't get to call them for me.

♪

Welcome to California Correctional Center.

For your safety, please
remove all outer clothing,

jackets, sweaters, purses
and place them on the table.

No drugs, weapons, cell phones, keys,

or cash over $50 are allowed.

Enjoy your visit.

How could we not?

It's like a first-class trip to Europe.

That was my lawyer.

I had him look into Mark's arrest.

Well, did you tell him there's no way

those drugs could've been Mark's?

Patrick must have framed him.

Mark's suitcase was in the lobby

when Patrick threatened revenge.

I thought he was talking about Dixon.

But you didn't warn Mark.

The brother you forgot you had.

I feel awful already, okay?

The important thing is

is that this is Mark's first offense,

- and he's innocent.
- Except he's not.

Apparently at the time of Mark's arrest,

he was on parole for narcotics trafficking.

And right on cue, it's my mother.

I have a feeling she's not calling to see

if we had a safe flight.

I got to take this outside.

Mark was on parole?

What are we gonna do?

We're gonna save our brother.

Miss, I need you to remove all metals,

watches, and jewelry.

Lovely.

This could take a while.

Okay, Annie was a hooker

and my rap sheet is,
like, a mile long, okay?

We still love you.

Why didn't you tell us
you were on probation?

It didn't come up.

Two years ago,

I was working in a restaurant.

Some of the kitchen crew were
dealing, I looked the other way,

and when the place got busted,

they found their stash in my freezer.

My lawyer said he could get
me three years probation,

no jail time, if I pled no contest.

I swear, I never sold drugs then,

and I have no idea how
they got in my suitcase now.

Patrick. He must have
done a background check

and knew exactly how to set you up.

That creep from your book?

For what it's worth,

if I ever get out,

he's gonna answer to your ex-con brother.

Not "if""

"When." We're your family.

We're gonna take care of everything.

Thanks, but I've got
problems you can't solve.

You know that ex-wife I
don't like to talk about?

We sort of have two kids.

- What?
- And, like your probation, that just...

- didn't come up?
- Okay, you know what?

I... I am an amazing aunt. Like,
the greatest one in the world.

Why would you deprive your children of me?

Because I'm a lousy father.

This weekend is their 11th birthday.

I promised them a special
day and I'm missing it.

Well, that's not your fault, Mark.

It's Annie's.

It's mine.

For years, I said I was
gonna be a better dad,

but stuff came up, work got in the way.

When Naomi and I opened the restaurant,

my life settled down. I vowed to change.

I... I started seeing
them every other weekend.

And when we get you out of
here, you will keep seeing them.

If... I move to Vermont.

My ex got a job,

and I can't stop her from taking the twins

unless I show the court
that I'm an active parent.

Missing their birthday because I'm in jail

pretty much makes me the worst father ever.

Even you two can't do anything about that.

Hey. So, I figured

we'd take our minds off
of the missed opportunity

and my half-brother in jail
by doing something positive.

Like recording some
background vocals to your song.

Or we could just record the
sound of you getting diabetes.

There's free bear claws in the lobby.

Michaela, everything you eat is free.

Silver buys your groceries.

She doesn't buy me bear claws.

Hmm. She's gonna be so
mad when she sees this.

Are you serious? Even if you won

the contest, okay... which, by the way,

was a one in a million shot...

Silver was never gonna let
you go on that tour, okay?

Silver wants a healthy
baby; I want a business;

you want a music career;
and the only way we can have

everything is if we
all work together, okay?

It's Silver.

Mm-mm.

Hey.

Dixon.

Where's Michaela? I came by to pick her up

for prenatal water aerobics.

Oh.

Okay, um, I didn't know she
had anything to do today,

so I booked studio time.

How could you not know about it?

I told Michaela about it last week.

She deliberately forgot
because she's mad at me.

Come on.

Why would you even say
Michaela's mad at you?

She's not answering her phone
and she's not speaking to me,

and it's your fault.

All my fault? Uh...

I just defended you.

You wouldn't have to defend
me if you hadn't talked me

into letting her write that song.

It was a one in a million shot.

Yeah, well, I'm not exactly feeling lucky.

I'm sorry. Look, I've got some things...

going on in my life, and I can't

really deal with an angry surrogate, so...

- please fix this.
- How am I supposed to fix... Uh...

Hello?

Silver? S...

Okay, now I'm really starting to wish

that I was the brother in jail.

Michaela?

No, actually I'm trying
to reach Dixon Wilson

of Unfaithful Records.

Oh, I'm... I'm sorry. Uh,
he's at the studio right now.

Can I take a message?

Sure.

Tell him one of the producers

of the Spencer Blane
tribute concert called,

and we wanted to thank him
for e-mailing Michaela's demo.

I'm sorry. Did you say that...

Dixon Wilson sent you the demo?

Yeah. In fact,

Michaela's been chosen
as one of the new artists

we want to debut.

There's a televised concert this week,

followed by a national tour.

Oh, wow. That's amazing.

I can't believe you picked Michaela.

Unfortunately, her schedule
just isn't going to allow it.

Hi, I'm looking for a lawyer.

Jordan Welland recommended your firm.

Oh, great. Could one of the
partners call Annie Wilson back

at this number, please?

Yes, that Annie Wilson.

Glad your mom liked my book.

Liam, stop. No, Liam, don't stop.

Girls, girls, you know the rules.

The loser has to sip

- or strip.
- Ooh, human body shot. I'm on it.

My turn.

- Who wants to drink out of my...
- Okay!

Uh, do not finish that sentence.

Liam, what the hell is going on here?

Oh, my God! Is that my
good interview blazer?

In her defense,

she wasn't wearing enough
clothes to play strip poker.

I thought it was a sexy librarian costume.

Like Annabelle would
wear to seduce Patterson.

I'm sorry.

Who are you? They're...

Leobelles.

Fans of Annabelle and Leo.

Hmm?

Oh, my gosh!

You're Author X!

- Can we get your autograph?
- Huh. Maybe at a book signing.

But right now you two
need to leave my house.

Annie, don't be such a wet blanket.

We were just about to reenact chapter 23.

Out! Out! Now!

- Bye, ladies.
- You know what? Girls,

you don't have to go. This...

You owe me an apology.

And a new blazer.

Gee, I'm so sorry.

But when the surfer

that I busted my ass to sponsor dropped out

because of your stupid announcement,

I had some time on my hands.

Hey. Did you know that... hat our house

is the first stop on the Undressed tour?

Liam, I never meant to...

Lie to me? Use me?

Join the club. Apparently,

it's what I'm here for.

I didn't lie to you. I just

didn't tell you about the book

because it was personal.

Writing it had nothing to do with you.

Then why am I getting fan mail
for Leo the brooding loner?

Uh, because I write compelling characters?

I'm sorry!

You should be sorry
that you ruined my life!

And how exactly did I ruin your life?

By being in it!

Okay, look, I told the truth,
and I stood up to Patrick

because it was the right thing to do.

I hate that people I care about
got hurt, but I'm gonna fix it.

Don't, because everything you
do just makes things worse.

Why would Mark's ex-wife move
their children to Vermont?

It's only a matter of time

before they get that
horrible Canadian accent.

Don't worry. We'll find
a lawyer that can deal

with Mark's custody issues
and his narcotics charge.

Someone passionate about justice.

Oh.

Speaking of someone passionate...

Yeah, my assistant was
supposed to clean all this up

before you got home.

Had a little romantic surprise
planned for last night, but,

uh, Annie's ex-boyfriend

framing your brother for
drugs kind of got in the way.

I really hate Annie right now.

Yeah, I kind of do, too.

But maybe our next date
will be a little better.

- Maybe we should find out.
- Yes.

Oh.

Wow.

Another urgent call from my mom.

Does the woman have a kissing sensor on you

or something, really?

She keeps close surveillance on anything

that might affect her reputation.

- Lovely.
- Yeah.

And Mark's arrest just put her
in full damage control mode.

God forbid that it gets to the press

that her top-selling auction item

got busted for drugs.

Wait. So, thanks to your mom,

no one else knows that Mark's in jail?

If, uh, she feels like it's something

that could hurt her political career,

it's like it never even happened.

Okay, the woman officially creeps me out,

but this is kind of helpful.

Mark's hearing is on Monday.

If he beats the charges,

and his ex-wife never figures
out that he was arrested,

he can keep the kids from moving away.

But he'll be locked up all
weekend, and kids tend to notice

when their dad misses their birthday.

That depends on who's throwing the party.

Silver?

Michaela's back. You can
take her to that water baby

birthing thingamabob.

Why are my clothes in the living room?

I thought I'd help you pack.

A producer from the Spencer
Blane concert called.

He wants Michaela on stage this week.

What?

They loved the demo Dixon sent in,

and they think your song
is going to be a big hit.

Are you serious? They liked the song?

Whoa! Everybody slow down.
I never sent in the demo.

But Silver's packing. That
means I'm going on tour.

I got the job.

Actually, you already have a job...

carrying my baby,

and that's never gonna
happen on a tour bus,

so I told them you were unavailable.

- to Washington, D.C.
- What?!

Silver, you can't do that.

Actually, I can, because
we have a contract,

so I'm gonna supervise
the rest of your pregnancy.

But from now on, you two
aren't living together;

you're not working together;
and your music career is over.

Silver, you can't do
that. We just got started!

This is gonna ruin everything.

Who the hell could have leaked that demo?!

Adrianna.

Adrianna?

She had nothing to do with the song.

How could she leak it?

When Silver said we couldn't
release the demo, I called her.

She said she was sick of Silver
ruining things for other people.

So she decided it was her turn?

Look, you're hot and all,

but I'm exhausted,

so hop back on your mommy-porn tour bus,

and get a real life.

Nice blazer, by the way.

Uh, I'm Elena Burns

of Burns, Seymour & Gray.

Annie Wilson called my office

about her brother needing a lawyer?

I'm guessing the charges
are sexual harassment?

Um, well...

Hi. Ms. Burns, uh, thank
you so much for coming.

Please, ignore my
roommate. He is a total ass,

unlike my brother Mark,
who's completely innocent.

Why don't I take a look at
these files, and we can discuss

- your brother's case?
- Great.

God, you could have told me you
were having a hot lawyer stop by.

Oh, I'm sorry.

I totally forgot that
everything I do is about you.

Here.

"Australia's Top Surf Spots?"

The cover girl is Maya Swan.

She's the *2 female surfer in the country,

and I got you a meeting with her next week.

Consider your life unruined.

Hello?

Oh, Liam.

Just the out-of-work movie
star I was looking for.

I need your help hosting a birthday party

for Mark's 11-year-old twins.

Wait. Mark has kids?

Yeah, a son and a daughter. He was planning

a whole special day for them, but now that

he's spending the weekend at Club Fed,

well, he's not gonna make it, but we can!

- It's gonna be fun!
- For who?

Naomi, if you're trying to cover for Mark,

I think the kids are going

to figure out pretty quick
that Liam's not their dad.

Oh, Annie, it's so cute that
you're keeping your sense of humor

during this family tragedy you created.

Anyway, I talked to Mark.

Olivia, his daughter,
loves princess parties.

Done. But Dylan is a sci-fi fan,

and the only thing that's
gonna make his birthday

dream come true is if Liam Court
from Corporate Invaders comes.

Please!

Naomi, nothing against Mark,

but I don't do children's parties.

No. I totally understand.

By the way, I read online
that Annie's book is a real hit

with the retirement community.

You should stock up on calcium
chews, because tomorrow,

this place is gonna be crawling
with geriatric Leo fans.

What time do we leave?

I'll pick you up at 10:00.

I love you!

Oh!

Come in!

What is wrong with you?

My nails are wet.

Oh, your nails are wet?

Your... your nails are wet, huh?

Dixon, you just ruined my French tips!

Okay, well, now we're even, all right?

'Cause you ruined things with me and Silver

when you leaked that demo to Spencer Blane.

How do you know about that?

Because they called and
offered Michaela the gig,

and Silver blames me!

Wait. They want Michaela to go on tour?

- Yeah.
- That means that they love the song.

Of course they love it. It's a great song,

but that's not the point, all right?

Silver thinks that I leaked the demo

and that I lied to her again.

Now, she's making Michaela
quit the music business

and go back to D.C.

What? She can't do that!

Michaela singing on TV
is a huge opportunity.

Was a huge opportunity.

If Michaela goes back to D.C.,
I can't record with her anymore,

so, you have to tell Silver
that you did it and apologize.

You want me to apologize to her?

Ade, this isn't you and Silver
fighting over some guy, okay?

Look, I'm trying to make
things work for everyone here.

Fine. I will apologize to
the great and powerful Silver.

- Thank you.
- But that's not going to fix your problem, Dixon.

You said it yourself.

That song... it's a hit.

Which means that you're
letting Silver take away

the most important thing in your life.

When has she ever given
anything up for you?

At some point, you're gonna have to stop

trying to make everybody happy

because Silver's only
trying to make herself happy.

Seeing my head on a
balloon is just disturbing.

Ugh! Don't over-inflate.

It makes you look jowly.

All right, Mark's ex-wife,
Dana, is on her way here

with Olivia and Dylan, which
means that we have exactly

five minutes... here, give it to me.

We have five minutes to finish making

this place look like every
11-year-old's dream come true.

Yeah, 'cause what 11-year-old doesn't want

to spend their birthday with
two strangers in costumes?

Hey, that's how I spent
every birthday since I was 17.

Anyway, we have the indoor playground

and the make-your-own-sundae bar

provided by their new favorite aunt:

Moi. Trust me, they will never
realize that Mark isn't here.

Wait, wait. Mark's kids don't know

he's not coming to the party?

No, and if it comes up,
just give 'em some candy,

and distract them.

Well, what if they see
through the distractions

and feel even worse?

Ah, then the face painter will turn them

into happy little lizards

or fairies or whatever the hell they want.

Why are you being so difficult?

Because I don't like lies.

People have been lying
to me my entire life.

My mom pulled the same stuff

to impress me with my stepfather's money,

and I hated it.

I know you think you're
doing the right thing,

but the person you lie to is
gonna be the one to get hurt,

just like me with Annie.

And... our time is up.

Please schedule your next
therapy session on the way out.

Liam, some lies are good lies, okay?

It's what families do.

Hi!

This is our party?

This is amazing!

You must be Olivia, and you must be Dylan.

Your dad's told me all about you.

He never told us about you.

Where is Dad?

Oh, well, your dad is, uh, stuck at work,

but he will be here soon.

You know what?

I heard a rumor that there's an Xbox

in that ball pit over there.

Who wants to go find out?

This is going to be fun.

It certainly makes the bouncy house

I got for them look like crap.

But like I told Mark,

I don't like leaving
the kids with strangers.

Oh. Well, we're not strangers.

I mean, I'm family, and Liam is a...

Well, he's our celebrity guest.

I'm gonna blow your brains out.

If it makes you feel any better
about dropping the kids off.

I could call Mark right now if you'd like.

It... it's fine. It's not like
I'd be able to drag them out

of that ball pit anyway.

Just tell Mark to drop the
kids off by 6:00 tonight.

Yes, he will drop them off in person.

Or he'll have them driven in
a stretch limo with a pool.

It's a routine check-up.

I don't need a police escort.

I have a doctor's appointment of my own.

Plus, I need to get copies
of your medical records

for the new doctor in Washington, D.C.

Dixon is the one tagging
along for no reason.

We need to talk about this.

Yeah, like we talked about
submitting Michaela's demo?

Hey, maybe when I'm not looking,

you can slip it to the guy
who picks the elevator music.

Adrianna leaked the demo, okay?

She also said you only
think about yourself,

so, if you send Michaela to D.C.,

you're basically proving her right.

Yeah, well, I really
don't care what Ade thinks.

And I think the stress

of being the rope in
your game of tug-of-war

is actually making me physically ill.

I'm going to the doctor by myself.

Whichever one of you is still standing

when I get home wins.

You hear that?

We need to work this out, Silver.

Okay?

It's not just about you.

All three of us have
something at stake here.

Not three of us. Four of us.

Michaela is having my child,

and she promised to put that first.

That's the only thing I care about.

♪

Ade, hey.

Uh... wh... what are you doing here?

Dixon asked me to apologize to Silver.

Is she here?

Um, uh,

Silver's running errands
before she leaves town.

She asked me to, uh, put together

some baby furniture while she's away.

Kind of an ace with an allen wrench.

That's nice of you.

Too bad Silver doesn't

appreciate people more.

She just expects them to give
up things to make her happy.

She's such a bitch.

Is that your apology?

Because it sounds like
you're trying to pick a fight.

Which is stupid, because,

well, if you're gonna
fight with Silver anyways,

what's the point of you and me
deciding not to sleep together?

You're totally right.

So, I made copies of Mark's court records,

bought a box of highlighters.

All that's left is for
the wrongfully accused man

to get saved by the brilliant lawyer.

Annie, I don't want you
to get your hopes up.

Airport security found
drugs in Mark's suitcase,

and he's already a convicted
narcotics trafficker.

I'll do what I can, of course.

Well, that sounds like legal talk

for "your brother's going to jail."

It's not over yet.

In the record of Mark's
original conviction,

some of the other defendants'
statements were sealed.

Something in those sealed
files might help Mark.

Well, then let's get those files.

I put in the request, but
the process can take weeks.

And Mark's hearing is tomorrow.

Oh, excuse me.

Yeah.

Elizabeth. Hi.

Hi. I'm looking for Jordan.

His office said he was here.

He stopped by earlier.

I would offer to take a message,

but to be honest, I don't
think he wants to hear

what you have to say right now.

You've gotten to know
my brother pretty well.

Jordan told Naomi about
the constant phone calls

from your mother pressuring him

to distance himself from Mark's arrest.

That's not what's been happening at all.

Our mom's been calling
Jordan offering to help Mark.

He turned her down and
hasn't returned her calls.

I don't understand.

Why would he do that?

That's exactly what I was gonna ask him.

♪

Honestly!

Oh, God!

Slow!

Oh! Oh.

Princess Naomi went
through that obstacle course

twice... whole thing...

while alien warrior man did nothing

but sit on his butt and drink slushies.

I'm not an alien warrior.

I'm a risk management executive

caught between two worlds.

Bite me!

You have to do the course again.

Yeah, you didn't touch base
before you went down the slide.

Aw... What? No, no, no.

I touched everything.

I touched every weirdly
damp surface up there.

If my dad were here, he'd tell you.

When is he coming?

Look...

the truth is, your dad...

Is stuck in traffic,

and you don't have to worry about a thing,

because he will be here very, very soon.

Who wants a big surprise?

- Me.
- Yeah.

'Kay, you three need
to wait here silently...

and I am going to bring you

the biggest, best birthday treat

you've ever seen in your lives.

So...

cool party, right?

Yeah, so fun we're not supposed
to notice our dad ditched us.

Look...

your dad loves you guys.

If there weren't a really good reason,

he wouldn't miss this.

That's a lie.

If our dad cared, he'd be here.

I'm not lying.

Then where is he?

The party's fun, but seeing our dad

is the only thing we really want.

Ready for your big birthday surprise...

Uh...

Dylan?

Olivia? Liam!

Liam!

Answer your... stupid phone!

You cannot steal children!

Or my car with my clothes in it!

If you do not bring my niece
and nephew back right now,

I will hunt you down and rip your...

magic cloak so that we can

both escape the evil dragon together.

You're a dead man.

Ah...

Hey, hey.

My last romantic surprise
fell through, so, uh,

thought I'd try again.

Actually got the idea from your book.

What do you think?

I think Naomi will feel

just as betrayed as I did.

I was going for "commanding and sexy."

Uh...

everything okay?

No.

Mark's lawyer needs access

to sealed files in the DA's office,

but that would take an act of God

or one word from someone like your mother.

By the way, your sister
stopped by this morning

and wants to know why you
won't return your mom's calls.

- Look, yeah, you don't understand.
- You're right.

Uh, your family wants to help my brother,

and you said no.

I don't understand. The only

person my mother helps

is herself, and she doesn't do favors

without expecting something in return.

I mean, I'd be, like, making
a deal with the devil, Annie.

Believe me, you don't know my family.

But I know mine.

Mark could go to jail.

And if that happens,

I will never forgive myself

and Naomi will never forgive you.

So if that means making a deal

and spending Christmas
at Grandma's next year,

then I think that's a pretty fair trade

for the most important
person in Naomi's life.

Hello?

Okay.

Don't do anything

until I get there.

That was the lawyer.

Liam just showed up at
the jail with Mark's kids.

Oh, my....

Liam, what are you doing?

Mark's kids think their dad doesn't care.

They deserve to know the truth.

Whoa.

You okay?

I just hitched a ride with a family of nine

who squeezed me into something
they called the "way back."

Naomi, I know you're upset.

Shh, Liam.

'Kay.

I don't know what Liam told you,

but he's an actor and they lie

for a living, so don't ever believe them.

Who wants to finish

the birthday bash with a...

shopping spree?

Dad!

Liv. Dylan.

What are you doing here?

Mark, I'm sorry.

It's our birthday.

Yeah, I know.

I just...

didn't expect to be the
one getting a present.

This feels...

really wrong.

Us being together,

or that we just did it in Silver's bed?

I don't know.

The Silver's bed part pretty
much overshadows everything else.

Navid, I'm tired of walking away

from things that I really want

because Silver might not like it.

I know that you said

that us hooking up seems like a mistake

from the past, but...

I have feelings for you.

I've always had feelings for you.

And I really don't want to give them up.

Why didn't you tell me that before?

Because I don't want anyone to get hurt.

Silver, I need to talk to you.

Oh, my God.

- Michaela, let me explain.
- Why? It's not like we're friends.

Yes. Yes, we are.

Okay, this thing between me and Navid

started before I knew that you liked him.

But then you did know,
and you didn't mention it,

and then, what, you just
slept with him again?

Y... yeah, but...

that just sort of happened.

You know what, this actually
isn't my biggest problem

right now, so if trying
to hurt me or Silver

- is what you're after...
- No, no, no. I'm not.

Okay? I'm not trying to hurt anyone.

I didn't want to tell you about me

and Navid because I didn't
want to make you feel awful.

And hearing about it
wouldn't make it any better.

So, yes,

maybe I should have told the truth,

but with everything going on, I didn't want

to cause you any more pain.

Yeah, I actually get that.

It was so cool how Dad

got the other prisoners
in the visiting room

to sing "Happy Birthday".

Very cool.

Though the the man who said

he used to work as a clown

at children's parties
was a little disturbing.

But,

Dad is gonna be okay, right?

Yes, absolutely.

I am gonna do whatever it
takes to make sure of that.

Hey, a present.

Oh, uh...

actually, this is for Naomi.

But, uh, I think I know something

that she'll like a little more.

Excuse me.

Well, this was still
the best birthday ever.

Oh.

Just, uh, glad I could help.

Hey, kids, your mom is on the way,

so why don't you have
Aunt Annie show you around?

Sure there's some presents
around here somewhere.

That's right.

Aunt Princess Naomi's magic castle

is full of hidden treasures.

Do you guys like designer shoes?

Know what you're gonna say.

I shouldn't take them
anywhere without telling you.

But you...

understood what they
needed more than I did,

because... you know what it feels like

to be the kid everyone lied to.

Yeah, something like that.

How dare you...

work out your messed-up

psychological issues at
the expense of my family?

- Hey, Naomi...
- No, don't.

I don't care about how hurt you are,

about all the women in your life,

or how you refuse to be a part of a lie.

I was keeping Mark's ex-wife

from finding out that he was in jail

so that he wouldn't lose custody.

Thanks to you,

there's nothing to stop the woman

from taking those kids to
the other side of the country.

So no matter what,

Mark either loses them...

or I lose Mark.

Naomi, I'm sorry. I...

And you... are sorry.

What am I gonna do with you?

Jordan just texted, asking me

to stall the hearing until he gets here.

Oh. That gives me time to
properly style Mark for court.

It's a probation hearing,
Naomi, not fashion court.

Ah-ah-ah, don't... don't
make fun of fashion court.

If Naomi would've got a
hundred more signatures

on that petition, it would've been real.

Calling to order

the probation revocation
hearing for Mark Holland.

Counsel and defendant
are present, Your Honor.

The purpose of this hearing is to determine

whether the terms of
probation were violated.

I've reviewed the recent arrest report,

which states that drugs were
found in Mr. Holland's suitcase.

Your Honor, my client's
luggage was out of his care

from the moment he left
the hotel until his arrest.

Well, unless you have some evidence

of third-party involvement,
that's still possession.

Which is why I'm going to revoke...

No, no! The drugs were planted
by her evil former sex client.

Oh...

And you two are... ?

Um, Mark's sisters.

We were there at the time of his arrest.

Did either of you actually see

this alleged... evil former sex client

tamper with Mr. Holland's suitcase?

Well... no.

But we're certain his
fingerprints are all over that bag.

- His luggage, not her.
- Hey!

Uh, Your Honor, Mark Holland is not gonna

contest the possession charge at this time.

Well, in that case, we
can proceed to sentencing.

Before you do, some new
evidence has just come to light.

Uh, Your Honor, I'm Jordan Welland,

and I received previously sealed files

from the DA's office this morning.

This one contains direct testimony,

which was never entered in as evidence,

stating that Mark Holland

is completely innocent
of the original charges.

Overturning the original charges
is a matter for another court.

Which is why I'll be filing
an appeal immediately.

And having already
spoken to the DA's office,

they're anticipating the
original charges to be overturned,

which means Mark Holland can't be sentenced

for violating probation

of something he's never been
guilty of in the first place.

In light of this new evidence,

Mr. Holland, I am reinstating

the terms of your probation
pending your appeal.

Yes!

I think. What does that mean, exactly?

It means he's free to go.

It isn't a party without the
guest of honor and the champagne.

I... I couldn't find a towel.

This is the most unprofessional
kitchen I've ever worked in.

But you'll miss it.

Dana called to congratulate
me on getting out of jail...

and to tell me that she filed paperwork

so she can move with the kids.

Vermont is finally
getting a decent taco chef.

I have to stay in their lives.

Thank you.

For what?

For having you pour your heart and soul

into a restaurant, only to lose it,

or for getting your kids kidnapped

from their own birthday party?

Naomi, the truth is...

I never even tried to be a better father...

until I met you.

- I always did like watching you work.
- Sydney...

what are you doing here?

If you hate me, I get it.

I lied about who I was, and I used you

to get Campbell's inheritance.

Just tell me to get the hell out,

and I'll go.

But I had to tell you that I'm sorry.

You know what? We all make mistakes.

I know I have.

So why don't we just forget
this whole thing ever happened.

Because I can't.

Forget about you, I mean.

I left my husband, and... and I don't care

about the money.

This might sound crazy,
but I just want to press

the reset button on my life and start over.

I thought that,

you know, maybe you might feel the same.

Hey!

- To the best lawyer in Beverly Hills.
- Seriously, Jordan,

we can't tell you how grateful
we are for what you did.

Well... I can.

Oh...

Hi.

Hey, I heard about Mark's good news.

The florist said nothing says
"not guilty" like daisies.

Heh. That's great, but, um...

Mark's case had nothing
to do with your baby,

so why do you care?

That's not fair.

I tried to be fair.

You only care about yourself, Silver.

I showed Michaela's surrogate contract

to Annie's fancy lawyer, and, uh...

turns out as long as she
has proper medical care

she can go on tour. It doesn't matter

how many votes you and your baby have,

the only vote that counts is Michaela's.

Our first and second dates

were not so hot, but this one
knocked it out of the park.

Well...

it helps when the police don't bust in

and start rounding up your family.

Your brother, he, um...

kind of means everything to you, huh?

I'm gonna miss having him here.

But nothing can keep Mark
from being a part of my life.

Or you.

Mm.

Mmm...

Oh.

Well...

It's my sister.

Then you need to take it.

Family first.

Okay.

Hello.

Congratulations.

I heard things went well in court.

Yeah. And tell Mom I said thanks.

Tell her yourself. She
says you owe her one,

and she wants you back in New York tonight.

You know the deal, Jordan.

Kiss your new girlfriend good-bye

and get on the next plane.

Are you ready for date number four?

Yeah. Uh, actually...

I just got an e-mail from work, and...

something really urgent came up,

and I'm gonna have to
leave town on business.

Oh.

I'll call you when I get back.

Okay.

You missed the celebration.

Mark's gonna be okay.

Those kids aren't gonna lose their dad.

No thanks to me.

Well, moving to Vermont
isn't the end of the world.

It is to Naomi.

I did what I thought was right,
and it blew up someone's life.

Sound familiar?

But... you didn't mean
for anybody to get hurt,

so eventually people will get over it

and move on. Right?

That's what I want to do, too.

I am so glad...

that you said that because
I really am so sorry.

And I... I will set up a million meetings

with surf stars for you to sponsor

if that's what it takes.

That's... that's not what I meant.

I...

Sydney came to me tonight.

She made me realize that sometimes

the best way to get past mistakes is to...

hit the reset button and start over.

And so that's what we're gonna do.

Annie, I...

I want you to buy The Offshore

so that me and Sydney
can move to Australia.

Yes, I'm sorry I overreacted. I get it.

I can't force Michaela to go to D.C.,

but you can't force Michaela

to be your next singing star either.

I'm not forcing her to do anything, okay?

The only thing that matters

is what Michaela wants.

Michaela!

Hey, her bags are gone.

So is she.
