Army Wives (2007–2013): Season 3, Episode 13 - Duty to Inform - full transcript

Trevor has a difficult start as Army recruiter under demanding staff sergeant Brandon Cappi, but perseveres. A potential recruit whom he can interest in a double date dinner, stressing full medical insurance, is scared off when Ro...

A recruiter?

Did you help out with that car
accident on route 12 tonight?

Yes, sir. I was one of
the responders on the scene.

Thank you.
That was my wife.

Oh, appreciate that.

But the person
you should really thank is her.

If she hadn't been there
to stop that bleeding, your wife...

Well, it might have
been a different story.

I wish Chase were home.

I don't know how you put up with it--

Not knowing where you husband is
or when he's coming home.



I'd go totally insane.

You learn to live with it.

Diabetes? How is that possible?

Claudia Joy takes care
of herself. She's--

We've been over this, Michael.

I'd like to start insulin
therapy right away.

{\pos(192,215)}Carpool in "t" minus two minutes.

{\pos(192,235)}Already?

{\pos(192,235)}Start picking up.

{\pos(192,235)}Hey, you okay?

{\pos(192,235)}It's starting to really bug me.

{\pos(192,235)}- What?
- Chase.

{\pos(192,235)}He was supposed to be
home two weeks ago.

{\pos(192,235)}Well, that's Delta, right?



{\pos(192,235)}All the super hush-hush,
secret squirrel stuff?

{\pos(192,235)}You never know what's going on.

{\pos(192,235)}Yeah, but he should
have called at least.

{\pos(192,235)}I mean, he's usually able
to get a message through.

Big jerk.

{\pos(192,215)}Okay, time to go.
Katie, Lucas, T.J., in the car.

Hey, Lucia.
How's Carlito feeling?

- Oh, much better. Mucho mejor.
- Good.

Oh, hell.

Keep moving.

What's going on?

Somebody's dead.

That's the car that
comes to tell people.

I feel like I'm gonna be sick.

Yeah, it's not the way
I like to start my day.

Okay, y'all. Bus is leaving.
Let's go.

We're all okay.

Yeah.

Yeah, somebody on the next block isn't.

~ Willow's Team ~

How's your glucose
level look this morning?

I thought you'd left.

I wanted to see how you're doing.

Fine.

{\pos(192,195)}- You need to mark that.
- I know.

{\pos(192,195)}I have the logbook. I'll do it.

{\pos(192,215)}I'm still learning this stuff myself.

{\pos(192,215)}I'm supposed to watch.

We need to show Emmalin how
to do it, get her up to speed.

{\pos(192,215)}Okay, it can wait, right?

Just following doctor's orders.

We're supposed to keep
kits in multiple places.

I know, Michael.
I heard the doctor.

I'm not deaf.

{\pos(192,215)}You tell your friends?

No.

{\pos(192,215)}Why not?

{\pos(192,215)}I'll do it when I'm ready.

Look, this isn't a group
activity, Michael.

It...

It's my body.
How I handle this is up to me.

I'd really appreciate
some privacy right now.

{\pos(192,185)}Okay.

Sorry.

One, two, three.

I'm getting better at crepes,
don't you think?

{\pos(192,215)}Well, you keep cooking
fancy breakfasts like that,

{\pos(192,215)}they are gonna drum me out of the army

for being too fat and too happy.

{\pos(192,215)}- Oh, no. I'm not worried.
- What's the special occasion?

{\pos(192,215)}No special occasion.
Just wanted to try out a new recipe.

{\pos(192,215)}Maybe you should do something
nice for yourself for a change.

I like cooking.

What else you got going today?

{\pos(192,215)}I am filling in for Claudia Joy
at an F.R.G. meeting.

{\pos(192,215)}I have a care package
to send to Jeremy.

Really?
Second one this week.

{\pos(192,215)}He's gonna get tagged
for being a mama's boy.

{\pos(192,215)}Didn't you say you loved the packages
I sent you when you were overseas?

- Well, yes, that's true, but--
- So who's your mama?

{\pos(192,215)}Close your eyes.

- Oh, no. What now?
- Just close 'em, woman.

- Yes, sir.
- Okay.

Picture, if you will,

a serene stretch of beach.

After an incredible seafood dinner,

we're walking back to our romantic--
Hey, your eyes aren't closed.

- Roland, I'm busy.
- Yeah, yeah. It can wait.

- Are you picturing?
- Yes.

You, me, beach, dinner. Go.

We're walking-- no.

We are strolling back
to our ocean retreat

where champagne
chills in a silver bucket

by our four-poster bed,

as in this photograph...

I'm assuming I can open
my eyes without penalty.

Affirmative.

I've got a sitter all lined
up for Sara Elizabeth.

Now I was hoping for two nights away,

but since you're so close to
deployment, I will settle for one.

Babe, it's amazing.

Lord knows I'd love to get away
from the flagpole for a day, but...

- I can't.
- Well, not even for one night?

I've just got too much work to do.

I'm sorry, babe.

It's lovely.

We'll do it when I get back.
I promise.

Sure.

It's a date.

Update your maps, Leblanc.

I want you to mark
every center of influence

and then update those once a month.

The trick to this job is just getting
your face out in the community

and then telling them your army story.

Here's your business cards.

Sweet.

Get rid of 'em as fast as you can.

Got it.

For some reason,
my brigade commander feels

that you're gonna boost our numbers.

So don't let him down.

- I won't, sergeant.
- I know you won't,

because in order to do that,
you'd have to let me down first.

And nobody lets me down.

I don't care how many decorations
you've got in your drawer.

You bring me two recruits a month,
or your ass is grass.

We clear?

Crystal.

Oh! Sorry.

- Oh, I'm sorry. You okay?
- Yeah.

Sorry. I was in a hurry.
I didn't see you.

No worries.

Paul?

Paul Broman?

It's Pamela Moran, Chase's wife.

How long's the unit been back?

Listen, Pamela,
you didn't see me here, okay?

I'm sorry.

What are you talking about?
What's going on?

Where's Chase?

Listen, our unit's not back,

I wasn't here, and you didn't see me.

I'm sorry.

So nobody in Delta
will tell me anything.

Of course that's their official position
on everything, including the weather.

What are the other Delta wives saying?

That their husbands aren't home either.

{\pos(192,225)}At least that's what they're saying.

{\pos(192,225)}Hey, don't get all paranoid on me now.

{\pos(192,225)}I have every reason to be paranoid.

{\pos(192,225)}I have never seen a member of
Chase's team come home alone.

{\pos(192,225)}And this guy was hurt, too.

{\pos(192,225)}And he wouldn't talk to me.

{\pos(192,215)}I wasn't even supposed to
know that he was there or here.

{\pos(192,215)}Whatever. I- it was...

{\pos(192,215)}It was, um, creepy.

So what did creepy guy's wife say?

Nothing.
Creepy guy's divorced.

Something's happened, Roxy.

I can feel it.

Something bad.

Hi. May I speak to
a Holly Walters, please?

Do you know when she'll be back in?

Okay. Thank you very much.

...helicopter crew,
learning a new language,

or even becoming a photojournalist,

- I'm sergeant Leblanc.
- I'm just here for some brochures.

You've come to the right place.

We've got info on a wide variety
of army careers available.

I could give you a test
right now and see what...

- job you'd be right for.
- Got what I need.

No, um, hold on.
Let me get you a card.

You can give me a call if you, uh--

Thanks.

Right.

Tell me you got that prospect's
deets before he left.

- He just wanted a brochure.
- Are you kidding me?

Leblanc, a guy that walks
into a station already has

more than half his mind made
up of whether he's gonna sign.

He needs someone
to tell him he's right.

What kind of t-shirt
was the guy wearing?

College of Charleston.
That's your opening.

Go straight to the G.I. Bill,
student loan,

- R.O.T.C.
- Roger that.

Instead, our guy is
dropping in on the navy

or the marine corps,
for crying out loud,

where even a jarhead knows better
than to let a prime prospect

like that walk out the door without
at least a cell phone and an e-mail.

- I'll do better next time.
- I hope so.

Come in.

Ready for debrief
on my Pentagon trip, sir?

For their whole lives, my grandfather
and father only bought american cars.

Is that so, sir?

Flew the flag every day of the year,

proudly sang the national
anthem at ball games.

Sorry.

I've got to buy a new car,
and it's got me thinking.

There was a time
I would have died happy

if I'd have gotten my hands
on a '69 Pontiac G.T.O.

Dual exhaust, hood tachometer,
hurst shifter.

That's the one.

Now Pontiac's out of business,
and I'm thinking hybrid.

- Times change.
- That they do.

- How's Denise?
- Oh, she's very well. Thank you.

Very well. She's... you know,
she's a little sore,

but I wish I could have been
here when the accident happened.

Well, I'm just grateful
Denise was with Claudia Joy.

I don't know many people
who could have done what she did.

Do what exactly, sir?

She didn't tell you?

The paramedic said my wife
could have bled to death

- if Denise hadn't been there.
- All Denise told me

was the ambulance arrived pretty quick.

She's too modest.
She saved Claudia Joy's life.

I'll be stopping by
Joanne's this afternoon.

I'll let everyone know
when she's ready for company.

- I thought I was covering for you.
- I'm feeling better.

- Claudia Joy, you should be resting.
- If I needed rest, I'd be resting.

Now we've got a full agenda.
Let's get started.

Pamphlet?

No? That's cool.

You want a pamphlet?

Your buddy wants a pamphlet?

Dude. No?
Hey, do you want a... Thanks.

Hey, ladies.
How's it going?

So you guys like running, huh?

That's great. Great.

I'm sergeant Trevor Leblanc, U.S. Army.

Did you know
that the Military Academy

has its own track-and-field
team, the Black Knights?

- Yeah, we're busy.
- No, I can see that.

Give me 5 mn of your
time. I can tell you

- how the army can change your life.
- We don't have 5 mn.

Okay, that's fine.
One minute then.

Look, the army has over
150 occupational specialties.

Let's hit it.

Hey, look.
Just take the card, all right?

Our station's on Spring Street.
You passed it a million times.

Intervals, go!

Good lord. Here.

You crazy.

Emmalin?

Emmalin!

- My god. Mom, you scared me.
- What's going on?

I downloaded all this stuff
on cooking and diabetes--

What you should
and shouldn't have in the house,

and I'm clearing out most of
the major sugar-added products.

Put it back.

A lot of this stuff
you can't have anymore.

Yeah, but throwing
away this much food is wasteful.

I'm not throwing it away.
I'm taking it to the food bank.

Your father likes these things.
So do you.

You don't have to go
without because I have to.

I talked to dad about it,
and he's onboard.

You know, it's, uh,
it's part of my master plan

to take the Holden family organic,
cut out processed foods--

Put it back, please!

Emmalin, I'm sorry,
but this is my kitchen.

I appreciate the thought, but I do
know how to exercise self-control

and I like things the way I like them.

We'll talk about this later.
I'm late.

It's supposed to rain this weekend.

It won't give us any relief from
the heat, but a least it's a change.

{\pos(192,225)}Of course, it rains,
you got two options--

{\pos(192,225)}You keep the kids cooped up
all day or let 'em play in the mud.

Hannah. Hi.

Did you hear anything?

Uh, no.

Thanks for trying.

You bet.

Bye.

- It's time for car pool.
- Yeah, me, too.

Hey, are you gonna be okay?

Yeah, I'm okay.

I mean, what choice do I have?

And you've never been
arrested, right, Ben?

No unpaid parking tickets
in the glove compartment?

- No, sir.
- Okay.

Well, if you score as high on the
real test as you did the practice one,

you're definitely in the Alpha range.

- Is that good?
- Man, that's great.

With these test scores right here,

we can go online and reserve
your army job today.

Today?

Wow. Um, that's, uh, that's fast.

Of course you gotta
pass your physical and go through some

additional screening process,
but basically, yeah, it's fast.

Once we reserve that M.O.S.,

you know, the job that you choose,
you got seven days to enlist.

Yeah. Um, I don't know.

I'm about
to get married and all.

- Congratulations.
- Thanks.

But, uh, my girl--

To be honest, she doesn't
know I'm down here.

She hears "army," she only thinks
about me getting killed, you know?

You know what?
I got an idea.

Why don't we go to dinner
on the army's dime?

You and your fianc?e,
me and the wife.

And, uh, we, you know,
we can talk about it.

- Yeah?
- Absolutely.

Sometimes it's just better for a woman
to hear it from another woman, you know?

- Sure. Why not?
- Yeah? Great.

- Thank you.
- Thank you.

It was no big deal, Frank.

No big deal?

Ah, since when is saving
somebody's life no big deal?

Were you planning on telling me?

I didn't give you every detail
'cause I didn't want you to worry.

You made it sound like
a fender bender, love.

If I'd have known you coulda died,
I'd have come home.

I know, which is why I didn't tell you.

I walked away
with hardly a scratch,

and then, I don't know,
it just didn't come up.

Well, I am damn proud of you.

Pure reaction and training,
just like the army.

Look, I've been...

turning this whole
thing over in my mind, and I--

It's not that I don't appreciate
everything you do around here--

The way you spoil me and all-- but...

I just don't want us
to fall back into old habits.

If I've learned anything from what
we've been through, it's that we both

need lives outside of the house.

What are you saying?

I think you should
get back into nursing.

That's funny, 'cause
I've been thinking the same thing.

- Really?
- Yeah. Not nursing exactly,

paramedic work.

I just didn't know
how you'd feel about that.

I'm all for it.

After the accident,

it made me realize how much
I missed being able to help.

I made some calls.

And I'm qualified
to be a paramedic.

Essentially, I just need a few
months of ride-alongs to get certified.

I know you'll do just great.

Thanks.

- Now can I put dinner on the table?
- Yes, ma'am.

Roland?

Champagne, Mrs. Burton?

Why I believe I will, Dr. Burton.

What's going on?

If the lieutenant colonel
can't come to the ocean,

then the ocean must
come to lieutenant colonel.

You brought me the ocean?

It took some effort, but yes.

The ocean, dinner and...

Just wanted to tempt you.

That's dessert.

This is inspired.

This, my darling, is what
the trendsetters refer to as...

a staycation.

- A staycation?
- Precisely.

All the pleasures of a trip in
the confines of one's own home.

Sara Elizabeth is sleeping,

a seafood extravaganza is
prepared and as an appetizer...

Oysters.

Roland, you have outdone yourself.

Nah.

That'll be after dessert.

Give me ten minutes to change.

I'll give you five.

- So, when are you due, Maricela?
- Seven weeks.

- Is this your first?
- Yeah.

We're gonna name him Ben Jr.

Really? Dude, that's awesome.
It'll be a lot less expensive

if you decide to have
the baby in an army hospital.

You know, with all the benefits.

- Really?
- Yeah. The medical's great.

Our kids are totally covered
for everything--

- Medical, dental.
- Eyeglasses.

- Hear that?
- That's great.

And they got classes for expectant moms

and for how to handle babies
your first six months.

You name it, they got a class for it.

And if you get in an accident or
something, the army is all over it.

Like, when Trevor got shot up in Iraq--

- Why don't we order?
- Okay.

Julia, three shrimp, two gumbos and
a grilled cheese for the pregnant lady.

What was I saying?

Oh, yeah, the medical benefits.
Show 'em your scar, babe.

- Rox, I don't--
- His shoulder was so messed up,

we thought he was gonna be discharged.

But then the army gave him
top-notch physical therapy

so he could heal enough
to be redeployable.

- Who could that be?
- I'll get it.

- No.
- Why not?

Katharine Eileen Moran,
do not answer that door.

- Who is it, mom?
- I don't know.

But I'm not expecting anyone, and I
don't want to talk to anyone right now.

- Mom.
- Just ignore it, okay?

Just do your homework.

Yeah, but I'm scared.

Me, too.

Come here.

Listen, there is nothing
to be scared of, okay?

Whoever that is, they're just gonna...

go away.

See?

Can I see who it was?

No. No, just...

Do your homework, okay?

Please.

Can we not turn and just sway?

Swaying is good for me.

Baby...

I want to lie down.

That sounds good.

I need to lie down.

Oh, no.

Oh, no?

- Oh, god!
- Oh, god.

Oh, no.

Sweetheart?

What's up? Did Chase call?

Uh, no.

Who's with the kids?

I dropped them at...
Carleen's, next door.

What happened? What's wrong?

My doorbell, um...

Somebody rang the bell, and I...

flipped out in front of the kids.

I thought it was the...

casualty notification

officers at my door,

like this morning.

Oh, my god. Pamela.

And I wouldn't answer.

And I know this sounds
crazy, but I-I can't

go home until after notification hours.

I can't shake this feeling, Roxy.

Something's not right with Chase.

I know it.

It's okay.

I said I was sorry last night.
What more do you want?

{\pos(192,225)}Don't shake your head at me.

{\pos(192,225)}What was I supposed to
do with that poor girl, lie?

{\pos(192,225)}No, but, come on, Rox.

{\pos(192,225)}- Telling 'em about when I got shot?
- You did get shot.

They don't call you a hero for nothin'.

But you didn't have
to tell 'em everything.

I still got a job to do here.

Excuse me, but there is
plenty that I didn't tell 'em,

like why I was out until 2:00 a.m.
comforting my best friend

- because she thinks her husband's dead.
- What?

- What's going on with Chase?
- I don't know.

Pamela says he was supposed to be home,
like, two weeks ago and hasn't called.

Then she ran into someone
from his unit who freaked her out.

- But there's been nothing official?
- No.

Well, until the army says
otherwise, he's fine.

Oh, come on, Trevor.
I know you're a recruiter now,

but that doesn't mean
you have to drink the kool-aid.

What's that supposed to mean?

It means the army never tells you
anything it doesn't want you to hear.

- Just like you, apparently.
- Wh--

She'll get tired and go back to sleep.

My love?

I'll pay you 50 bucks
to go get that baby.

You brought the oysters.
You get the baby.

You are merciless and unforgiving.

This tile is so cool.

This tile is my friend,

my only friend.

You're not eating?

In case you haven't noticed, dad,

if you try to do anything around
here that mom's used to doing,

like serving breakfast,

she bites your head off.

Go ahead. Start without me.

- We don't mind waiting.
- No, really.

Don't wait.

Great.

Now she's gonna be mad
if we don't eat.

Em, until your mother
gets her routine down,

her sugar levels are
really gonna affect her moods.

It's nothing you're doing wrong.

- It's an adjustment. That's all.
- I know, but...

I'll be glad when this part's over.

Well, that makes two of us.

Grits?

Perfect. Okay.
Absolutely fantastic.

This-- I don't need this.

Oh, god. I don't have time for this.

Of course.

Roxy, hi.

How are you?

Absolutely. I'll be there.

Yeah. Whatever--
Whatever Pamela needs.

All right, sweetheart. Bye.

Damn it.

Okay. Here we go.

One...

Two...

Read your report
on last night's fiasco.

What did we learn from this?

That I need to send my wife
to Fort Jackson for training?

Don't put this off on her.
This is your screwup.

Using a spouse to close
a deal is not a bad idea,

but she has to be prepped, Leblanc.

You don't know my wife.

Watch and learn, rookie.

Hello, young lady.

What can I help you find
out about the army today?

I'm here to see him.

Hi.

Do you want to sit down?

You got your minute.

You know, it's a little stuffy in here.
Why don't we take a walk?

- You're a fast runner.
- Faster than you, anyway.

Okay. Now that wasn't a fair fight.

So what's your name?

Kanessa. Kanessa Jones.

I'm-- I'm Trevor.

- Le blank?
- Leblanc.

So...

What can I tell you
about the army, Kanessa?

I don't know.

I ain't buying no used car.

Mostly just wanted to see
if you was crazy or not.

Right. Well, I'm not crazy.

I just like the army. That's all.

Now I guess some people
would call that crazy, but...

it's taken me places
I never dreamed of.

Do you want to see the world, Kanessa?

I don't know.
I only been in South Carolina.

Well, I went to Atlanta once,

when I was 3.
You been there?

No.

It's big.

You know what
you wanna do after high school?

Work, I guess.

I got nieces and nephews,
help take care of them.

Is that what you want to do?

Where I'm from,
people don't decide things

'cause that's what they wanna do.

- How old are you?
- 18 next month.

This is your time, Kanessa.

You gotta start making
decisions for yourself.

Because when I saw you yesterday,

I got this feeling, like you were
looking for a way out of here,

a ticket to something better.
Am I right?

The army can give you those
choices you never thought you had.

Listen, I'm starting
a candidate P.T. group soon.

- P.T.?
- Physical training.

Early morning, before school,
we'll be working out army style.

Come by, check it out,
tell me what you think.

I ain't signing no paper. And if I don't
like it, I ain't sticking around.

That's cool.
It's just a test drive.

No obligation to buy.

What do you say?

- Okay, le Blank.
- It's Leblanc.

Right. Le Blank.

Yeah, I-I know I wouldn't want to.

I called Roland, left a voice mail.

He called me.
They're both home, sick as a dog.

- Food poisoning. Poor things.
- Oh, yuck.

- I really appreciate it.
- I'm glad y'all could come over

- and make some calls.
- Of course.

We all know what it's like
waiting to hear about your husband.

- I may have some news.
- Thanks, Jenny.

Can I-- can I call you back?

- What?
- Ooh. I stood up too fast.

I just spoke to the deputy
administrator at Mercer,

and he said doctors were dispatched
to the special ops medical clinic

four days ago to assist
with a returning Delta unit.

- Four days ago?
- Now it's highly confidential,

but I understand
there were some major injuries.

He couldn't give me
any patient names, of course.

But at least it's something.

- Well, I'm going there.
- I- I'll go with you.

Wait.
To the special ops compound?

- Will they let you past the gate?
- Yeah, they will.

I don't wanna get
my friend in trouble,

so don't mention
where you heard this.

- Of course not. Thank you.
- I'll drive.

We'll lock the door.
The cookies are baking.

- But call us.
- We will.

My purse.

- Are you okay?
- Yeah.

What-- what do you need?

- My juice.
- Juice. Juice. Yes.

Okay. There.

There.

Here.

- Oh, stupid.
- Eat this.

You'll be fine in just a minute.

Here.

I'm so embarrassed.

- I'm sorry.
- No, no, no. Just take a moment.

Why didn't you tell me?

It's okay.

Oh, honey.

Look, I am the wife of sergeant
first class Chase Moran,

and I demand to see him.

{\pos(192,225)}As I explained, ma'am,
I cannot let you inside the compound

{\pos(192,225)}- without your husband present.
- I told you, he's in there.

{\pos(192,225)}How can he be present
if he's already inside?

{\pos(192,215)}This is insane.
Do you realize how insane this is?

{\pos(192,215)}Excuse me. Maybe you
could just reassure my friend

{\pos(192,215)}that her husband really is in there.

I apologize, ma'am, but I'm not
authorized to confirm or deny

the presence of any military personnel
inside the special ops compound.

I really am sorry.

Okay. Listen.

I need you to pick up
Katie and Lucas at school

and keep 'em at your house
for me tonight, okay?

- Can you do that?
- Of course. What are you gonna do?

Oh, they can call the M.P.S.
I'm staying right here.

- Got it. Good luck.
- Thanks.

I guess we'll just wait.

I had an apple in my purse I meant
to eat. I just got busy and forgot.

You can't afford to forget your meals.

You have to monitor your
glucose levels,

'cause once you inject
the insulin, you run the risk--

Of hypoglycemia. I know.

Not enough sugar.

When were you diagnosed?

Right after the accident.

At the hospital, they ran a blood panel.

You think it had something
to do with what happened?

I don't know.

Maybe.

I mean, I thought
I was just tired, but...

I never would have
driven if I had any idea--

- I know.
- Denise, I'm...

- I'm-- god, I'm sorry.
- Don't apologize. You didn't know.

But now that you do,
when are you gonna tell people?

I don't plan on making
a public announcement.

That's not what I'm talking
about. I-I mean your friends.

I'm not telling anyone.

This is a private matter, Denise.

- Yeah, but you can't keep it a secret.
- Why not?

Because it's dangerous.
Because people need to know

in case you get into trouble,
like what happened today.

I appreciate your concern,
but you're not my doctor.

No, I'm just your best friend
and I'm a registered nurse,

and I'm telling you
that this is a mistake.

What happened today was my fault.

- Won't happen again.
- Oh, and how do you know that?

I can't have people staring
at the general's wife,

wondering if she's gonna
pass out in public.

- It's not like that.
- This is my problem, Denise.

I'll handle it my way. Okay?

I really don't want you
mentioning this to anyone.

- Claudia Joy--
- I mean it.

People don't need to know
every detail of my private life.

Can we talk about something else?

More electrolytes, darling.

You think we can keep that down?

Well, I have to.
I can't miss any more work.

Oyster crackers?

Don't even say the "o" word.

I'm thinking the next time we take
the lieutenant colonel to the ocean...

Let's just let the ocean
stay where it is.

To hell with the ocean.

I'm thinking next time
we go to the desert.

I hear the Mojave is delightful
this time of year.

Or we could just stay here, horizontal.

For the right reasons.

Exactly.

Oh. Hey, everybody.

Isn't it past your bedtime?

Mom said we could.

What's going on?

What?

Looks like maybe
he's back, possibly hurt,

but nobody's talking,

so Pamela's camping out at the compound
till they tell her something definite.

Do the kids know?

No.

I told 'em their mom
had to visit a sick friend.

- It's awful, Trevor.
- Shh. Come here.

I'm so glad you're home and safe.

You still up?

Yeah.

I love you.

Me, too.

Ma'am?

Yeah?

Yeah, I'm awake.

You can come with me now, ma'am.

Are you taking me to my husband?

Ma'am, I'm not authorized to confirm...

Just follow me.

Chase.
