Army Wives (2007–2013): Season 4, Episode 12 - Change of Station - full transcript

Trevor is about to be deployed in Afghanistan and sooths the boys' frustration, asking TJ to be 'the man in the house', but Roxy crosses that by mothering after a penknife accident, traumatized by her own youth with a lush single mother. General Holden motivates Emalin to commit for rehab all the way rather then risk life-long regret. Chase and his kids are delighted with college-grad neighbor Kristy Tifford, rendering Pamela jealous. The Pentagon orders the whole base to the field, including the staff. Childishly moping Joan proves the rehab patient from hell, bitching even at Roland.

Unique Translation English

So how was the weekend?

Great. We went bowling.

Cosmic bowling. Really?
Cosmic bowling?

You know, ultraviolet light,
glow-in-the-dark balls.

It was so fun. Dad taught
me how to keep score.

Can we go again sometime, mom?

Sure. I don't see why not.

Katie, your mom's waiting.

Coming. They had a late lunch,

so I don't think they're gonna
need much dinner. Okay.



I'm ready.

Whoa. Look at you.

Like it? Yeah. It's pretty.
Did you do this?

Uh, no. A neighbor
in the building.

I was gonna say. She's gonna
teach me how to knit, too.

Well, knitting. Maybe
you can show me then.

I never got the
hang of that stuff.

Okay, come on. Give your dad a hug.
We gotta go.

Bye, dad. Bye, princess.

Bye. Can I get my own
bowling ball someday?

We'll see.

Thanks.

Hi, kristy. Hey, Katie.
Hi, Lucas.

Hey. Mom, this is kristy. She's
the one who did my hair.



Oh.

My mom loves it.

Yeah. It's great.
Kristy tifford.

Pamela Moran. You
have terrific kids.

Thank you. Dad said he
loved the oatmeal cookies.

Good. We'll try chocolate
chip next time. Okay.

Really nice meeting you.
Same here.

Bye, guys. Bye.

Bye. Bye.

Hey, babe. I need a favor.

I ran out of time
at the S.R.P.C.,

so I need you to get my will
looked over for me, okay?

What? Your will?

Yeah. I made a few notes.
It's all there.

Uh, Trevor, I do not have time.

It needs to be done today,
and I gotta get back

for equipment inventory and inspection.
I love you. Yeah, but...

I promise I'm gonna make it up to you.
Promise.

How? You're leaving.

Now you're sure this isn't gonna
give it away? Dr. lang promised.

'Cause I really don't
wanna know the sex, d.

Well, we don't have to play it.

No, no. I wanna see the baby.
I just don't wanna see...

Too much of the
baby, that's all.

We agreed.

Frank.

Okay.

Okay.

Oh, good lord, look at that.

It's pretty amazing, isn't it?

That's our baby?

That could be our little Hank.

Hank?

Yeah. What do you think?

Hank, Frank?

Okay.

What about Marilyn,
if it's a girl?

Hmm. Think this could
be a little Marilyn?

Uh... y... I suppose. But
you're not crazy about it.

Well, I had a stuck-up
cousin named Marilyn.

I still like Hank.

Well, we agreed. We
each have veto power.

Fine.

I think Walter's a nice name.

For an investment banker, maybe.

No, when I think of a Walter,

I think of a 3-piece suit
and glasses, that's all.

Okay. All right. If it's a girl, what
about Chloe? I can't even spell Chloe.

It's greek. We're not greek.

Frank.

I think we need to
keep on thinking.

Agreed.

Everything seems in order.

Thank you so much for helping
me with this, Claudia joy.

Of course. There's always too
much to do before deployment.

Yeah.

Okay, uh, any changes
since his last tour?

I don't know. He wrote
it on that note.

Mm.

Oh.

Okay, he wants his, uh,
silver star decoration

to go to t.J.

And his good watch
to go to finn.

Fine. Whatever.

I'll write it up.

I don't like any of this...

Wills, funeral arrangements.

What hymn do you want sung?

It's always hard.

How are the boys handling it?

Well, we're gonna
tell them tonight.

I just wanted them to have
as much time as possible

without worrying.

I still can't
believe he's going.

Mm. Thought I'd be
used to it by now.

Mm. Well, we never
get used to it.

We just get through it.

You will, too.

Right.

You might need this, ma'am.

Thanks, but I doubt it will help.
Having trouble?

Well, I never did like puzzles.

First week, right?

My first week of rehab,

I couldn't even get the borders.

You want some help?

Is that against the rules?

We're all on this leaky
boat together, ma'am.

Suit yourself.

Staff sergeant Tyrell sollars.

Have a seat, staff sergeant.

Thank you, ma'am.

How'd you know I'm an officer?

Aw, come on now. Been
in the army long enough

to spot a field grade out of uniform.
Right.

Well, look at that.

Show-off.

How long you been coming here?

Going on six weeks now. T.B.I.?

Oh, yeah. Everybody here has
had their brain rattled,

one way or the other.

Me... close encounter
with an I.E.D.

R.P.G.

Took some shrapnel.

Thought I had seen
the worst of it.

I didn't know I had
some other problems

until... recently.

Hmm. Yeah.

Well, we all feel sorta out of
place at first here, ma'am,

but when we see a p.F.C.,
a staff sergeant,

lieutenant colonel,

all trying to relearn
how to tie their shoes,

you realize t.B.I. Is
a great equalizer.

I guess that's right.

Is there some kind
of trick to this?

Yep.

Persistence.

Roger that.

She made Chase oatmeal cookies?

Yeah, and she wants to
teach Katie how to knit.

They're dating.

Really? You think so?

Pamela.

Well, we've only been
divorced for two months.

Yeah, but you've been separated for, like,
six. Seven, and it's still not that long.

Men have shorter memories.
It's a fact.

Oh, come on.

She's just his neighbor,
and the kids like her,

and she just happens to be...
young.

Yeah, and hot, if
you like that type.

And her name's kristy.

What's her last name?

Tifford.

Why?

Kristy.

Isn't this a little High School?

This is why God
invented the Internet.

Bingo.

Whoa. Is that her?

Yep. That's her.

She's on staff at
messina's gym downtown.

Kristy tifford...

Teaches spin classes,
yoga and pilates.

Well, that explains
the 2% body fat.

She's 28, a gemini and loves
long walks in the rain.

Wait. It does not say that.

Oh, my God.

Bimbo.

Wait.

She graduated with honors
from Duke university.

So? And she runs marathons to
raise money for leukemia research

and coaches for the
special olympics. Ohh.

Crap. She's a good person.

So what? We can still
hate her anyway.

Well, I can't. Not if
she's good to my kids.

Okay. Well, then I
will hate her for you.

Thank you.

Hey, you know, they
could just be friends.

Right.

Your quadricep strength has
improved tremendously.

Clearly, you've been
working hard at your p.T.

She has. Every day, doctor.

But your knee...
What about the knee?

Mobility's only at 80%.

But that's what it was the last time.
Right.

Could be you've hit a plateau
in your recovery, or...

Or?

I've been honest with you
from the start, emmalin.

There's a real possibility

that the trauma to your
knee was so great,

this may be the most
flexibility you'll recover.

No. But the good news is, as
far as walking is concerned,

aerobic exercise, it's as if
the break never happened.

But I want to play hockey. I know,
and I know what this means to you.

So sign my release.

Until I can see
more improvement,

I can't let you participate
in contact sports.

If you don't sign that release,
no college will even look at me.

And if you injure
that knee again,

you could end up walking with
a limp the rest of your life.

I'm sorry.

Yeah.

So am I.

She'll be okay.

Thank you, doctor.

Honey.

So much for division I hockey.

Ohh. I know you're upset.

Upset?

Mom, I busted my
butt for six months,

and it didn't work.

You just need more time.

For what? I've been stuck at
80% for weeks. I give up.

Emmalin, you don't
want to give up.

What's the point? Can
we just go home please?

You said three years! And I
meant to be here that long.

But the army needs your dad in
Afghanistan right now. Why?

Because we're fighting over there.
You lied!

We didn't lie to you, bud.
You said you got a

new job. You didn't say
you were deploying.

We wanted to find the right time to
tell you. You never tell us anything!

Excuse me. Hold
on there, mister!

You think I'm just a little kid!

Your brother's just
upset, that's all.

Dad'll miss my birthday.

T.J.?

Go away! Bud?

I mean it!

Listen... I know you're angry,

and you're right.

We should've told you sooner.

So why didn't you?

Because there's two boys
in this house, t.J.,

and we wanted to protect
your little brother.

What do you mean?
Will you turn around

and look at me, please,
when I'm talking to you?

Thank you.

What do you mean?

What I mean is,

finn can't handle some
things the way you can,

like tough news.
Because he's younger?

Right, and we didn't want
to give him a lot of time

to think about it before I left.

You really have to leave?

It's my job.

But while I'm gone, I need
you to do me a favor.

What? I need you to be
the man of the house.

Step up. Help out your mom.

Be the watcher and the leader
for your little brother,

you know what I mean?
Set a good example.

Exactly. Now that's a
big responsibility.

You think you can handle it?

Yeah?

All right. Good man.

She went down without a fuss.

Must've worn herself
out today at piedmont.

Roland, I've been thinking.

As long as I'm home,
it doesn't make sense

for you to look after Sara
Elizabeth all day long.

You're in therapy, Joan.

That's in the morning. I'm
talking about the afternoon.

I don't have anything to do.

Well, that's the point.
You need to rest,

avoid stimulation till
the doctor clears you.

Besides, how would she get home?

You can't drive, and my days have
been packed. So Patty can bring her.

I can't ask Patty to give up her
lunch hour to play chauffeur.

What, roland, you... you think I
can't take care of my own child?

You fell, Joan.

Sara Elizabeth
could've been hurt.

Yeah, but I'm better now, and
I know what to look out for.

You're still in the early
stages of recovery.

I do not believe you.
You don't trust me?

It's not a matter of
trust, sweetheart.

I'm just thinking about
what's best for our baby.

What is best for her is that she
spend time with her mother.

She spends time with you.
Oh, don't patronize me!

I'm not. Yes, you are!
And I'm sick of it!

And I don't need you
looking over my shoulder

every minute that I'm with her!

Well, excuse me, Joan, but
right now I think you do.

Frank? No, no. Keep... keep
doing whatever that is.

What are you doing?

It's a new video camera.
I'm making a documentary.

A what?

Oh, now don't stop.

This is our baby's first p.T.
Experience on film.

Frank, put... put
down the camera.

Aw. Come on, mama. Why?

Because I don't need
my pregnancy covered

from every possible angle. Oh, now
this is more than just your pregnancy.

Think of it as our
child's beginning,

in high-def. Oh, great. Every
roll of fat in perfect focus.

Oh, come on. You kidding?
You look gorgeous.

Well, thanks, but we have
enough pictures of me.

All right? Once the baby's
here, you can go crazy.

Okay. Hey, hey. Wait, wait.
Where you going?

Out back.

What for? To get my yoga blocks.
They're in the shed.

No, no. It's okay. I'll get 'em.
I'll get 'em.

What... Frank? Look, you
can't go in the shed, d.

Why not?

Because I've been working
on a surprise, okay?

You know, something for the baby.
In your spare time?

Hey, you make time for the
things that are important.

Now where are those blocks?
Top shelf, left side.

All right. I'll be right back.

And just so you know, you are not
filming the birth. Oh, we'll talk.

You wanted to see me?

Yeah.

Have a seat.

Heard you had a pretty
rough visit today

with Dr. Hollander.

Not really.

He just basically said I'll
never play hockey again.

I spoke to him myself,

and that's not what he said.

He doesn't rule out
the possibility

of further recovery.
I don't care.

I've had it.

I also spoke to the head
of orthopedic surgery

at Walter Reed. He's a friend.

You know what he says is
the number one factor

in coming back from
injuries like yours?

Motivation. I've
been motivated, dad.

My knee just didn't
get the message. Yet.

Can we just drop it, please?

Here's my proposal.

We work out together
for the next month.

Together? Yeah. Hard core.
Morning p.T.

I got a list of exercises

the doc says should get you
over the hump with your knee.

Seriously?

That's what he said. Been
field-tested by the army.

It's grueling stuff, em.

It won't be easy,

but it is the best shot you have

to get back on the ice.

We'd do it together?

Yeah. Why? You don't
think you're up to it?

No.

I just think I'd leave
you in the dust.

Do not forget that your old man
played football at West point.

Yeah, like, a hundred years ago.

Okay, I'm gonna take
that as a "yes."

You really don't quit, do you?

Holdens never do.

T.J.?

T.J.?

T.J.? T.J.?

What?

There's something outside.

Huh?

There's a noise.

It's just a branch.

I'm scared.

We'll switch beds, all right?

Okay.

T.J.? What?

What if something
happens to dad?

It won't.

What if it does?

Dad's strong. He won't get hurt.

Now go to sleep. I can't.

I'll stay here, okay?

Okay.

Hey. Hey.

Didn't wanna use the bell. Afraid I'd
wake the kids. Oh, thanks. Um, come in.

What's up?

Uh... found these
under the sofa.

Oh! That would've
been a disaster.

She's got her dress
rehearsal tomorrow.

I know.

Thank you.

No sweat.

Hey, um...

So I met that neighbor of yours...
kristy.

Oh, yeah?

Yeah. She a new friend?

Yeah. Why? Just wondering.

Wondering what?

You know, um... Is she...
A good friend?

Uh, we're not dating,

if that's what
you're getting at,

not that it's any
of your business.

Well, she seems to be spending
a lot of time with our kids,

so I think it is my business.
She's a good neighbor.

We hang out together.
Is that a problem?

No.

Good night, Pamela.

How many?

I was thinking ten...
Up and down.

Ten.

Okay.

Let's hit it.

I'll take that, thank
you very much.

You gotta pay better
attention, ma'am.

You're supposed to
be sharpening up

your mental skills. And I thought
we were just having fun.

Sorry.

Can't seem to keep
my mind off of home.

I get it.

I told you, my wife and I went
through some tough times, too.

He said, flat out, that
he doesn't trust me

with our daughter.

Well, ma'am, I'm sure your
husband is just trying

to do best by you
and your daughter.

This is no walk in the park
for him either, you know.

I know.

When I first got
home, I was a mess.

I was blowing up over nothing,

making stupid mistakes
around the house,

breaking things.

Drove my wife nuts.

So what happened?

We both had to adjust.

I mean, she had to realize

that I wasn't doing
it on purpose,

and I had to realize that
it wasn't all about me.

That was the tough part.

I commanded a battalion,

and now I can't
even drive a car.

I have to wait for roland
to take me everywhere,

and it's driving me crazy.

You gotta let that go.

Well, maybe you're a
better person than me,

sergeant.

I am sure that is not the case.

I've just been living with t.B.I.
A little bit longer.

Look, I have been
cleared to drive again,

so if you ever need a fallback,

you're welcome to
give me a call.

Just give me your phone,
and I'll put my number in.

Thanks. I'd appreciate that.

And I appreciate that.

Gin.

Damn.

Oh, sir.

I got the final evals from
last month's exercises.

Good.

You all right, sir?

Uh, heavy p.T. This
morning with emmalin.

We did stadiums.

Really? How many?

Ten. Well, that's ambitious.

A word of advice...

Start stretching now,
before the baby gets here.

Roger that.

Frank bought a new camera?

Yeah, he is
determined to capture

every moment of the baby's
life from this day on.

Ohh. That's sweet.
Yeah, well, you know,

he wasn't around when
Jeremy was born... Mm.

And I-I think he's
just looking forward

to going through it
together this time.

Right.

Yeah, well, Michael
started working out

with emmalin this morning,

get her knee back in shape.

And?

And the doctor's not sure

if emmalin can ever
play hockey again.

Michael's convinced she can.
I don't know.

I'm just... I'm just a
little worried, that's all.

About emmalin or Michael?

About both. Mm.

Mom!

Mom!

Hey! Sorry. I got here
as fast as I could.

How you doing, buddy? Okay.

He got six stitches!
You want to see them?

No, leave the bandage on, t.J. You
got this from sawing a tree branch?

Yeah. It was scaring finn. You gotta be a
little bimore careful with the knife, bud.

Only when an adult's around, remember?
I know. Sorry.

Yeah. We talked about
that, didn't we?

Okay. Who wants to go
for ice cream? Me!

All right. Let's do this. Uh, h-hold
on a minute. Boys, go to the car.

I want to talk to your
dad for a minute.

What's going on?

You're gonna reward
him for using a knife

when he wasn't supposed to?
He got stitches, rox.

I know. I took him
to the hospital.

I had to deal with the
blood and the crying.

Okay, what's wrong with you? Do you
know why he was using that knife?

Yeah, he said he was looking
out for his little brother.

No. He did it because you said
that he's man of the house.

Did you say that? I said something like
that. Why? What's wrong with that?

What's wrong with that is
that he's only 10 years old.

He was trying to do a good thing. Yeah,
and he almost sliced his finger off.

I think we should take the knife
away for a month. Look, I...

He is still a boy.

You do not ask a boy
to do a man's job.

Joan, we're home.

Hi.

Hi.

Hi, baby girl. Mwah.

What are you doing?

Getting some exercise.

Joan, you know the
doctor's instructions.

Exercise can interfere with your healing.
It's a walk, roland.

Well, it's still not
the best thing for you

right now. I've been stuck in this
house all afternoon. I'm going out.

Fine. How about we
all go together?

No. I don't need
you to watch me.

Some things I can
still do myself.

Hey. Joan, it's getting dark.

I'd feel a whole lot
better if you ju...

Thanks for coming.

Not a problem, ma'am. Hop in.

Sorry to bother you.

You're the only person I
know who understands.

Don't worry about it, ma'am.

I got lost a mile
from my own house.

Excuse me, ma'am,

but you're pushing
yourself too hard.

You're not gonna heal
if you don't slow down.

I expect more from
myself, sergeant.

I understand, but this is
just like any other injury.

You wouldn't run

on a sprained ankle, would you?

No. Okay. Well, this
is the same thing.

Your gray matter
took a pounding.

If you don't rest, it'll
never get better.

I shouldn't have
been exercising.

No, ma'am.

Not till the doctor says so.

Thanks for the ride, sergeant.

Anytime.

Hey. You had me worried.

I was about to get in the car and
start looking for you. Sorry.

Well, the baby's asleep.

I made dinner.

Thank you. I'll go
upstairs and wash up.

Hey, roland.

You were right.

I need to take it easy.

So it opens this Friday.
Is that correct?

That's correct. If
you want to see

some really great action, and
I'm not talking about...

You coming to bed?

In a little while.

You wanna turn that down
so we can talk, please?

I'm not exactly sure. I think,
like, in a week or so. Uh...

Look... I am sorry
about t.J.'S hand,

and I'll talk to him
again about the knife,

but he is gonna have to help
out more when I'm gone.

Why? I can run this household
just fine by myself,

and I really don't need

all this macho "man
of the house" crap.

It's not good for me, and
it's not good for the boys.

I was just trying to get t.J.
Ready for my deployment.

Well, that's not the way to do it.
Then what is?

Like or not, babe, T.J. is growing up.
He can't be your little boy forever.

He's 10. He really doesn't
need to be pushed.

Didn't you say you were
practically raising yourself

at that age? That was
totally different,

and I never said
that I liked it.

I-I'd really like for
them to just stay kids

as long as they can. Okay, but army
kids grow up faster than most.

That's just the way it is,

and if t.J. Wants to
rise to the occasion,

we need to guide him.

Can I open 'em yet? No. Not yet.

Okay. Now you can open 'em.

This is what you've been
working on in the shed? Yep.

Frank, it's beautiful.
And it's practical, too.

See, it's got that,
uh, soft-close hinge

so that no little
fingers get pinched.

Uh, we can paint in the name
when we know what it is.

Uh, engelbert... Or Anastasia...
zebediah.

Mm. Right, right. Yeah.

Right, right.

I love it.

One more. That was ten.

Yesterday was 10. Today's 11.

Dad.

Does your knee hurt?

No. I'm just tired.

Come on.

How'd it go? Great.

What happened to your leg?

I tripped, okay?

It's a scrape. Michael.

Let me clean it. I
can do it myself.

Emmalin. You know what, dad? I
need to get ready for school.

All right. Listen, tomorrow
we'll lay off the stadiums.

We'll just do wind sprints. No!
Why am I killing myself?

It's not gonna get any better.
I'm done.

Emmalin, come back here.
Let her go.

She's not gonna improve if
she doesn't push herself.

Michael, she's not one
of your soldiers.

No. She's my daughter.

She's my daughter, too. Enough.

Can I have an apple
instead of a pear?

That pear yesterday was gross.

Fine, but you gotta
go get ready,

and you gotta wash your
hair tonight, okay? Why?

Because you need to wash
your hair sometime.

But I love it this way.

All right, well, maybe
for your birthday

we'll figure out how to do it.

We'll get one of those irons, okay?
Really?

Yeah. Now go brush your teeth.
Mom.

Go.

Ah.

Chase. Hey.

Hey. Uh, things are a little crazy here.
What's up?

I was wondering if we could
trade weekends with the kids.

I'd love to have 'em again
this Saturday. Why?

I got a chance to take 'em out on a
boat ride. Oh, yeah? Whose boat?

Kristy's brother.

He's got a 21-foot inboard.
I thought it'd be fun

for Katie and Lucas to get out on
the water. Yeah, well, I don't.

Why not? Because I don't know the boat.
I don't know the people.

Pamela. I'm serious, Chase.
I'm thinking about safety.

No, you're not. You're
thinking about kristy,

and I already told you, I'm not...
Chase, it has nothing to do with her.

How would you like me taking
the kids out on the ocean

with a perfect stranger? Hey, it's
not like I'm not gonna be there.

Yeah, and distracted by your friend
in her little hand-knit bikini.

Oh, that's... that's great, Pamela.
That's really great.

Chase, I don't think
it's a good idea, okay?

And where the kids
are concerned,

I have the right to say no, so I'm
saying no. You're overreacting.

I don't have time
for this, okay?

The kids gotta get to school, I
gotta get to work, so I gotta go.

Fine.

Fine.

Okay, come on, you guys!
Hurry up.

Yeah.

I'll see you guys tomorrow.

Sorry for the surprise, kiddo.

What are you doing here?

You've been on my mind all day,
and I didn't want it to wait.

How's the leg? It's fine.

See you guys later.

Em, I didn't come here to talk
you out of your decision,

but I do want to explain
why I've been pushing you.

It's okay.

No, no.

Listen.

When I was 25, I went
to ranger school,

a 9-week combat
leadership course.

Intense physical challenges...

Not enough food,
not enough sleep,

20-mile marches with 60
pounds on your back.

Sounds fun.

Yeah. Got to a point where
my feet throbbed so badly,

all I wanted to do was sit
down and take off my boots,

but I knew if I did that,

I'd never get 'em back on again.

So I pushed through,

because more than anything,

I wanted to be a ranger.

That's what I wanted.

Now my question is,
what do you want?

I thought it was to
play division I hockey.

If that's not true
anymore, that's fine.

I won't be disappointed. I
won't love you any less.

But if it is true,

if you still cherish that dream,

I don't want you wondering
five years from now

if you could've gone all the way

if you had only pushed
yourself a little harder.

You have got all sorts of
strength inside of you.

I'll see you at home.

Hey, mom. Hey.

Can I have one? Not yet. What
were you doing at the espinozas?

What's that?

I helped Mrs. espinoza
clean her garage,

and she'll pay me 5
bucks to mow her lawn

once my stitches are
out, every week. Wow.

It's for you, mom. Why
are you giving it to me?

Because I wanted to help
out while dad's gone.

Okay.

Come here for a sec.

First of all, I am
really proud of you.

I love that you're
willing to work hard,

but every dollar that you
make is yours to keep.

So you don't want me to help? Well, of
course I do, but there are lots of ways

that you can help other
than earning money.

I know what your
father told you,

but he's still the
man of the house,

even when he's gone.

So what did he mean?

Well, he meant that
you can help me out

by taking care of
your little brother,

looking after lucky,
making your bed...

All the chores that need to get done.
Clear?

Okay, and one other thing...

When your dad and I have a
problem, we talk about it.

We decide things together.

So next time, you talk to me

before you try chopping down
a tree with a scout knife.

I wasn't chopping it down.

I know, but you get
my point, right?

Even though you're
growing up real fast,

and we all get that,

you are still the kid,
and I am still the mom.

Got it?

Yes, ma'am. May I
have a cupcake now?

Yes. One.

Pamela.

Hey.

Come in.

So, um...

Look, maybe I was a
little unreasonable.

Maybe?

Look, Chase, this all takes
some getting used to.

So are you saying the kids
can go boating this weekend?

No, what I'm saying is...

That if you check out the boat,

and it's safe

and kristy's brother
isn't some kind of jerk,

then maybe next time
you have the kids,

you can all go.

Fair enough.

You know I would say this if
we were still together, right?

Yeah, you would.

And I'd expect you
to do the same.

Okay.

Okay.

Hey.

Thanks.

Frank, come on in.

Pentagon's been
reevaluating troop levels.

They've issued new
orders for the division.

Yeah, I heard there was a new game
plan in the works. Well, it's true.

Denise?

In the nursery.

So what do you think?

I picked up this
bedding at the p.X.

Isn't it adorable?

What's wrong?

Something's come up.

What?

The Pentagon wants
division headquarters

to be included in the
Afghanistan deployment.

You're deploying?

Me... Frank... Everyone.

Michael.

When?

Next week.

For how long?

Probably a year.

Ohh, Frank. You'll
miss the baby.

Oh, you'll miss everything.

I know.
