Due to a crucial Washington meeting concerning the impending selection for closure of bases, general Holden must cut short hosting his surprise guest, sister in law Edie, who mourns his brother, went missing in action a year ago. In Iraq, new father sergeant David Cole finds it hard to commit to his men without emotionally shutting out the home front.

Previously on "army wives"... If
you divorce, you have to surrender

Your military I.D. Card,
you'd lose your privileges

At the commissary and the p.
X., and you'd have to get

A visitor's pass whenever
you come on post.

Mommy is pregnant.

Come on, your mom's
having a baby.

Really? Why?

Happy birthday,
my precious girl.

Did you know that you
are 1 year old today?

I hope you had a wonderful day.



What time did you schedule
mom's massage for tomorrow?

Uh... 1600.

I got one for you, too.

Really?

Well, the way I figure it,

You can't have mother's
day without the children,

So you're part of the deal, too.
I like the way you think.

So bike rides in the
early afternoon,

And then the massages

And then dinner at the
ocean reef at 1900.

We haven't been to
kiawah in forever. Mm.

Mom's gonna love it.

I hope so.

Mother's day can still be
a little rough on her.



I know.

But she's got the f.R.G.
Brunch in the morning,

And then we're off, right?

Mm-hmm. That's right.
That is the plan.

Where is mom, anyway?

I'm not sure.

She said she had some
errands to run. Hmm.

I miss you, sweetheart.

Yeah. But next time, I drive.

At's fine with me.

That way, I get to wrap
my arms around you. Aw.

Jeremy. Hey.

You know I have field
exercises tomorrow,

So I decided to bring you
an early mother's day gift.

You shouldn't have. Open it.

Okay.

Oh, jeremy, they're beautiful.

Do you really likeem?
I love 'em.

I'm gonna wear 'em next time I go
riding with your dad. All right.

Mwah! Yeah, well, about that...

I got you something to
go with the gloves.

Oh, frank!

I thought I'd do something
a little different

Than flowers this year.

Happy mother's day. Did
you know about this?

We came up with it together,

Although dad did spend a little
bit more money than I did.

Aw! Thank you! Sure.

Honey, thank you. Hey...

Mwah. Happy mother's day.

Thanks. Wow. Um...

You know, I'll take it for
a test-drive right now.

Hey, it's your bike.

Whoo-hoo! Oh, man! Give me that.

Whoo! Let's say we go for a long
ride tomorrow afternoon, all right?

Got it all mapped out-including
a candlelight dinner.

Sounds great, but... all right.

I got someplace to go right now.

Nice.

Is that it?

Well, what do you
mean, "is that it?"

It's kinda small.
Buddy, tt's real gold.

It doesn't have to be big to be good...
remember that.

You really think she'll like it?

Like it? Guys, she's gonna love it.
It's a surprise, right?

Exactly. So no blabbing.

I won't. Okay. So let's go over
tomorrow's battle plan. Ten-hut!

First, youet your mom sleep
in till 0800, correct?

Yes, sir! Then?

Breakfast in bed with
cards and flowers.

Affirmative. Then what?

F.R.G. Brunch.

Perfect. Now I'm gonna be
going away on army business,

But I'll be back
in time for dinner

With you guys, katie, lucas and mrs.
Moran, okay? And then our special present?

Roger that.

Wait, mom.

Ah.

Mm-hmm.

What are you all up to? nothing.

Nothing, huh?

Nope. No surprises.

Well, since you're
doing nothing,

Why don't you go clean
the living room?

It looks like a tornado
went through there.

Yeah. Let's go. All right.

And lucky needs his walk.

What? I don't know anything.

Did you get your errands done?

Uh-huh.

Then I, uh, went to see amanda.

I just felt like I
needed a visit...

Just the two of us.

It was nice.

Yeah?

Yeah.

You all right?

Mm-hmm.

Listen, did you remember

To keep your schedule clear
after brunch tomorrow?

Yes. Do you finally
want to tell me why?

Yes. Come here.

Because emmalin and I
are kidnapping you

To kiawah island for
the rest of the day.

Oh, michael, I...

Nope. Unh-unh. You
are our prisoner,

So you might as
well surrender now.

I got it!

Okay.

If I don't have a choice,
then I surrender.

Good. Mm.

Uh, that was the main gate.
We have a visitor.

Who? Aunt edie?

Aunt edie?

And my husband, uh, was the
chief mechanic at macdill.

That... that's an
air force base.

And he worked on f-4
phantoms and then f-16s.

Building, attention!

As you were.

Michael! Oh! Aunt edie. Hi.

Oh, and here I was...

I was just talking his ear off.

What are you doing here?

Well, the last time we spoke,

You said that I could come visit anytime.
That's true.

And I looked at my schedule,
and this weekend was free...

you didn't get my e-mail.

I have several
different accounts.

It probably just fell
through the cracks.

Oh, dear. I should've called.
No.

Is this a bad time? It pno, not at all.
Femy car is right out front.

We'll call claudia joy and we'll
let her know we're on our way.

It's so wonderful to see you, michael.
Ooh! Oh, for me as well.

Thank you, lieutenant.

Bye-bye.

Aunt edie?

Really, I don't
remember her at all.

Well, you were only about 5 or
6 the last time you saw her.

So she's dad's aunt?

Right. Which makes
her your great-aunt.

She was married to uncle joe,
grandpa holden's brother.

Okay. Uncle joe died
a few months ago.

Your father went to florida for
his funeral, remember? Mm-hmm.

Your dad's always been
really good to them.

He helped her settle the estate.

But why's she coming now? I
mean, tomorrow's mother's day.

Don't you think that's sort of strange?
Well, we're the only family she has left.

I guess she's pretty lonely
without her husband. Hmm.

She probably didn't even realize
it was a holiday weekend.

Doesn't she have kids?

She had one... bobby.

He was killed in vietnam.

Right.

Yeah, that's really sad.

So I guess this means no
kiawah island tomorrow.

Afraid not.

We had an awesome day planned.

We were both gonna get massages,
we had dinner reservations...

I know. I'm sorry, honey.

I'm disappointed, too.

But for now, let's just
make the best of it, okay?

Mm.

We're home! Come in. Ah!

Oh, there they are.
Hi! Oh, edie!

Oh, claudia joy! Hi!

Oh! oh!

Well, I don't know
how you do it... Aw.

But you look exactly the way you
did at your wedding. Please.

I have photos that will prove you wrong.
Now this cannot be emmalin.

Hmm? Yes, ma'am.

Well, you don't
remember me, do you?

Oh, well, kind of. I... oh, no, no, no.
It's okay.

You get a big hug anyway.

Now how was your trip up? It was wonderful.
I took the train.

And it gave me a
chance to look through

All the charleston guidebooks
from cover to cover.

I can't believe how much there
is to do here! there is.

Well, we'll be happy to show you around.
I want to tell you something.

I don't want to put you out.
I realize that

I'm barging in like this
thanks to my e-mail skills.

No, no, no. Don't be silly. We'd
love to be your tour guide.

Why don't you settle in, I'll
put some lunch together,

And we'll eat in the pergola?
Great. That's perfect.

Em, will you show aunt edie upstairs?
Thank you. Sure, yeah. Let me get this.

It's so good to see you guys!
You, too!

Thanks, emmalin. Yeah.

I... I had no idea she was
coming, but that's edie.

She gets her sights
set on something...

Michael, michael, it's fine.
She's delightful.

But it's mother's day.

The whole point was to get away.

I know. I'm okay.

Thanks.

Lunch.

Joan?

Hey, husband.

Did you get sara elizabeth's
mother's day card?

I did. It was adorable.

Well, her spelling still
needs a little work,

But it's the sentiment
that counts, right?

Aw! I wish you were here, babe.

Really? How much?

You have no idea how much.

Then turn around.

Joan?

Hey, I... I can't believe it!

Oh. Oh, let me see our baby.

Yeah!

Hey, baby girl.

It's mommy.

It's mommy.

Oh!

Here.

What... what are you doing here?

Oh. three days' leave.

I'm scheduled for
a full eye exam,

So they said I might
as well do it here.

Here I am.

Roland?

Colonel burton.

Colonel burton?

Yes.

Baghdad says we're in for
one hell of a sandstorm,

Predicts we'll be locked
down for the next 24 to 48.

Right. I want an
accountability check,

And make sure that all
mission-essential equipment

Is protected.

Yes, ma'am.

What would you like
to see in charleston?

Everything. I have a list.

Oh, edie, I wish I
could join you,

But, uh, the post is hosting a
mother's day brunch tomorrow,

And I need to supervise the setup.
Oh, sure, I understand.

But, uh, emmalin, you'll be
coming with us, won't you? Uh...

Yes, of course she is. How often
do we get a chance to see you?

Aw. Okay, I'll be right back.

All right. Good.

Mom, I can't believe
you just said that.

Keep your voice down. I wanted to go to
the mall with jennifer this afternoon.

The mall will still be
there next weekend.

Dad... Emmalin, this is family.

Fine.

I'll go call jennifer.

See you out front
in a minute, kiddo.

Right.

Hey, let me give you a call back.
Okay.

Tommy, what's going on?

Coach just told me I'm
starting tomorrow.

Really? Starting pitcher-
that's awesome. Yeah.

Nice. You still coming, right?

Wouldn't miss it. Good, good.
You got directions and all?

You'll know I'm there

'cause I'll be the one cheering the
loudest from the bleachers. Yeah.

I know you're busy, so I'll see you
tomorrow, sergeant. Now get some rest.

I want to see some heat on
that fastball. You will.

Sorry I'm late.

Michael's aunt edie
arrived unexpectedly.

She just showed up?

Uh, long story. You'll
meet her tomorrow.

How's it going here?
So far, so good.

Great.

What are you doing for
mother's day this year?

Roxy invited us over
to dinner with them.

Well, that's nice. Uh,
have you heard from chase?

He called a few days ago.

He's training deep in the
mountains somewhere now,

So you know how it goes.

Yeah. When I think of, uh,
all the anniversaries

And birthday celebrations
that michael missed...

Well, I suppose joan and I are
living up to the army tradition.

Sent her a little something.
Just hope it gets there on time.

Fingers crossed.

Let me show you where this podium goes.
Oh, sure.

Ma'am, it's confirmed.

Our main communication
lines are down,

Satellite reception is also compromised.
I figured.

I've been trying to get an
outside line to call home.

It's dead. Hey, did we
get a mail run today?

No, ma'am. Centcom grounded
everything. Right.

You expecting something, ma'am?

No. Well... Tomorrow's
mother's day.

It is amazing...

That something as simple as this

Can bring modern
technology to a halt.

Okay. Keep me posted.

Yes, ma'am.

I don't know about you,
emmalin, but I am exhausted.

Aunt edie, you wore me out.
Oh, lightweights.

Hi. Did you have fun?

It was great. Excuse me.
General holden.

Why don't we sit in here?

You know, I still think
we could've caught

That last ferry to fort sumter.

Well, maybe we could do that
after the brunch tomorrow.

Um, I might have homework to do.

Okay.

Change of plans.

I have to fly to washington first
thing in the morning. What?

Dad. That subcommittee
hearing on post closings

Got pushed up to Monday.

I have to meet with the
congressional delegation

For an all-day strategy session.
Oh, what a shame.

Oh, it can't be helped, right?

You have to fight for fort marshall.
Is the post closing?

No, not if michael has his way.

I'm so sorry, aunt edie.

I hope to be back before you have to go.
Well, I'll miss my tour guide,

But you're leaving me in very good hands.
I know I am.

I have to make a few calls.

Go.

So I guess that leaves
just us girls tomorrow.

Mm-hmm. Looks like it.

Okay, I'll freshen up and then
we can talk about our plans.

All right.

Hmm.

Oh, great.

Emmalin.

No, mom.

It was supposed to
be you, me and dad.

Now the whole weekend's ruined.

Happy mother's day!

All right, breakfast.
Eggs made to order,

Buttered toast... yeah!

O.J., no pulp. Mmm.

And we made these for you, too.

Lucky, too.

Aw! I love them!

Thank you so much!

All right, boys, operation's
going according to plan.

Go get dressed,
let your mom eat,

We rendezvous in the
kitchen for pancakes.

I'll make 'em before I leave.

I think it's really sweet

That you're going to see
that kid play today.

But I still think mother's day

Is a pretty dumb time for
a baseball tournament.

Babe, we've been over this. I can do both.
It's no problem.

Does every recruiter go out of his
way like this? Yeah, and then some.

Besides, tommy's a foster kid.

I know what it'sike to have a
familiar face in the crowd.

Yeah, okay.

Okay.

Thank you for all this.
Steaks on the grill tonight?

Maybe.

Trevor, you cook three things...

Eggs, pancakes and steaks.

You're forgetting
mac and cheese,

Ordering pizza and a
good drive-through.

Those don't count.

Well, we got another
surprise for you,

But you're gonna have to wait
till I get back from the game.

What if I don't want
to wait for it?

What if I want it right now?

Mm, I don't think we're talking
about the same surprise.

I know we're not.

Come on.

Remember last mother's day?

Babe... The kids.

You're killing me.

That's the plan. No, I gotta go.

Mnh-mnh, mnh-mnh. Eat your eggs.

All right. Pancakes,
let's do it!

Okay, keep your
eyes closed, mom.

They are closed.

Well, no peeking.
I'm not peeking.

Can I open them yet?

Not yet. Almost.

Okay, now!

Happy mother's day!

We cleaned our rooms! Wow!

Wait till you see my room.

Are you sure your names
are katie and lucas?

Oh, um, this is for you.

There's more?

It's from both of us.

Pretty.

A mom's coupon book!

Mm-hmm.

"good for one hug."

"good for one kiss."

"for one taking
out the garbage."

And one for washing dishes.

I love this! It was dad's idea.

Your father called?

It was when we were all talking
a couple days ago. Oh.

He told us to be really
good on mother's day.

I bet.

He has a coupon for you, too.

Really? He told
me what to write.

"good for one 'fill
in the blank.'"

I don't get it.

Well, I think I'm gonna have
to use one of these right now.

Let's see. Hmm.

How about this one-
"good for one hug"?

Come here. Pay up. Oh,
thank you so much.

Hmm.

Oh. Well, hey there.

Hello.

Frank...

I thought my new motorcycle
took the place of flowers

This year. Well, what's a
mother's day without flowers?

You're spoiling me.

Mmm.

Hey, um... About
our ride today...

Yeah, what's going on?

Well, the colonel running
jeremy's field exercise

Got blown off course
during his jump.

Landed in a tree, got
banged up pretty bad.

Don't tell me...

Yeah. They've asked
me to assume command.

Okay.

All right. Well, we'll do
our ride next weekend.

All right. Roger that.

Okay.

Good morning.

Happy mother's day.

I'm so glad So many
of you could join us.

Mother's day is
always a special day.

And I think it's
even more special

For those of us who have
loved ones serving overseas.

Being a parent or a wife

Or a husband of a
deployed soldier

Is hard to describe

For someone not in
the army family...

The enormous pride we feel,

The fear, the worry.

It can get
overwhelming at times,

Which is why we
rely on each other

To share the good times
and the tough times

Until our soldiers return home.

Will the following
families please stand?

The tatoras...

The garcias... The culls...

And the nishiyama family.

I'm happy to announce

That the f.R.G. Has
a very special gift

For these four families.

Believe me,

I wish I could give all
of you in this room

The same gift today.

Happy mother's day.



These soldiers are on r&r
from iraq and afghanistan.

The 23rd airborne division
arranged to get them here

In time for our mother's
day celebration.

Aunt edie?

I'm sorry.

Are you all right? I'm sorry.

Edie?

What's the matter?

You miss your husband.

Well, of course I do.

But this is about bobby.

Your son.

Watching those
soldiers coming back,

Walking in the way
that they did...

That's what I want.

They never found him.

Missing in action. Mm.

It was night, And
somebody saw bobby

Go to a wounded soldier,

And he never came back.

I'm so sorry.

I kept waiting for news
and I hoped and I prayed.

I know he's not coming back.

Oh... But I still
dream about it.

I st...

I still look for him in a crowd.

It would be what it was like
for those families today.

He would come walking up
the road to greet me,

And he'd be smiling.

And he would still be
an 18-year-old boy.

Amanda was 18 when she
was taken from us.

No mother should
outlive her children.

It's just not right.

No, it's not.

I want my daughter back...
Every day.

You understand

Why this time of year
is so difficult for me.

Joe knew it.

He'd always take
me away on trips.

And this is the first year
he's not here to do that.

That's why you came.

I miss my son.

Don't beat yourself
up, claudia joy.

There's no way you could've
known she'd react that way.

Missing in action.

I just never thought about

What that means as a mother.

It was heartbreaking, michael.

I mean, for us...

We can take some comfort
in-in visiting amanda.

Edie had no body to bury,

No place to be with her son.

I'm sorry I'm not there to help.

I fly out right after
tomorrow's committee meeting.

Michael, I was
thinking maybe, um,

Maybe we could do
something special for ie,

Here at fort marshall.

That's a great idea.
Let me think about it.

I gotta get back to my meeting.
Okay. How's it going?

I'm cautiously optimistic.

Good. Okay, love you.

Love you, too.

Come in.

I thought maybe you'd
like some tea.

I'm not interrupting, am I?

Oh, not at all.

Tea sounds perfect.

I'm so sorry that I ruined
your weekend, honey.

No, that's okay.

I'm sure that hanging
out with your friends

Would be a heck of a
lot more fun, right?

No. Really, it was cool.

Oh... Thank you.

I'm really sorry about your son.

Thank you, honey.

You would've liked him.

Bobby loved people.

He could talk to anybody.

And, boy, when he
came into a room,

That place would just light up.

I wish I'd known him.

You two really
would've hit it off.

And you know what?

He was the biggest hockey fan.

Really?

I still have boxes and
boxes full of souvenirs.

And I still have

An autographed hockey
stick from bobby hull.

No way.

Yes. Would you like it?

Are you kidding? It's yours.

That's awesome.

This was your sister's
room, wasn't it?

Life can be so cruel.

I would love to hear more about
your side of the family.

You would?

We moved around so much
when I was younger,

I feel like I missed things.

Well, I've got an idea.

Why don't you come visit
me in tampa? Hmm.

Have you been to florida? Never.

Then it's a must.

There's a lot to do, and
I've got photo albums,

Including pictures
of your father

That I bet he doesn't have.

How about it? Cool. Definitely.

Okay, great.

Now what kind of
cookies did you bring?

Uh, vegan coconut agave.

Okay. Nothing ventured,
nothing gained, right?

Okay.

I made 'em myself.

Mmm. Don't give me
the recipe, okay?

Hey, babe. How was the game?
It was great.

Tommy threw a shutout.
They won 5-nothing.

Nice. So are you almost home?

Uh... Not exactly.

I'm still on the
outskirts of columbia.

What?

Babe, the mustang-it-
- it died on me.

Ha ha, very funny.

No, rox, I'm not joking.

Yeah, you're probably pulling
up in the driveway right now

With your mother's day surprise.

Babe, I'm not kidding.
I'm stuck.

Oh, trevor. Are you okay?

Yeah, I'm fine. It's the
mustang that needs work.

It's not gonna be ready till after dark.
Aw, damn it, trevor.

I hate that car.

We should've gotten rid
of it a long time ago.

I know, I know. The boys are
gonna be really disappointed.

I'm disappointed.

And don't forget that
pamela's coming over

With her kids, too. I know.
And tell her I'm sorry,

But at least you guys
have each other, right?

Rox?

Yeah. All right.

Well, you know what? Maybe you
guys can all go out to dinner.

It's kind of expensive.

Don't worry, we'll
figure something out.

Just get home safe, okay?

I will. I'm sorry.

Okay.

Hey, claudia joy. Hi, pamela.

You leave anything
for the rest of us?

Oh, well, with michael in d.C.
, I'm making dinner tonight.

For an army, apparently.

Denise is joining us now.

Frank got called away on
maneuvers at the last minute.

You're going to roxy's, right?

Uh, yeah. Except
now, we're cooking.

Where's trevor? Stranded about 100
miles away in a dead mustang.

Oh! So she asked me to
pick up some burgers.

No, that's not happening.
Everybody's coming to my house.

I'll call roland. Really?

Yeah. Claudia joy
saves the day again?

Hey, sure, absolutely. Why not?
It'll be fun, right?

Ugh! I don't think I have
room for dessert. Well, I do.

Sara elizabeth is finally down.

Oh, she is adorable.

Aw, thank you. Her
mother's in iraq.

I was hoping we'd get a
chance to talk today,

But they're having
sandstorms over there.

Communication's down.

Aw! Oh! Did you talk
to your mother?

Uh, mainly, I listened...

About how I'm not sending
enough photos of sara elizabeth

To show off to the
ladies at church.

And I'm way overdue for a visit.

And she also informed me that
I don't call her enough.

Oh, well, what mom ever thinks
that their kids call enough?

Certainly not mine.

Did you call marda? Yes.

How's she doing? Oh,
you know marda.

Everything's a drama.

Sorry. My relationship
with my mom is a little...

Complicated?

Yes, "complicated." okay.

That is a good word for it.

On mother's day, it was hard
to bring breakfast in bed

To someone who wasn't even home yet.
Oh, dear.

My father would make this
horrible mother's day brunch,

And I was his helper.

I was always closer to
him than her, actually.

Aw. I think all mother/daughter
relationships are complicated.

Mm. Yeah, I'll vouch for that.

Hey, what?

You're not supposed to be
listening, sweetheart. Sorry.

It is funny what we remember.

"are you sure you
want to wear that?"

My mother used to ask
me that every time,

Right when I was at the front door.
Yes. Oh!

Right? Really nice.

Terrible.

Ah. You know, I remember
when I was young,

We had to pinch every penny.

I remember my mother shouting,

"close the door! We're not
heating the neighborhood!"

Well, to claudia joy,
For taking us all in.

To our mothers,
wherever they may be.

Hear, hear. Cheers.

Cheers.

Pick your poison, ma'am.

Beef enchilada or
chicken fajita?

Some choice.

The mess was closed due
to the sandstorm, ma'am.

All right, beef.

Mmm, mmm, mmm.

I don't know why they
call 'em m.R.E.S.

They're not meals,
They're not ready,

And you can't eat 'em.

Hey.

I almost forgot-
happy mother's day.

Thanks.

All right. Welcome back...

We're here with our returning
champion mary ellen corman

Of mackinaw, illinois.

Mary ellen... thanks, jeff...

All right, then. You ready
to play the bonus round?

Yeah, ready. All right, then.
Mary ellen...

mm.

Hey. What time is it?

It's midnight.

Stupid car.

Babe, I am so, so sorry.

Mm-hmm.

What's this?

It's our surprise.

Trevor.

Oh! "♪1 mom."

It's the truth.

I love it.

Good. Now give it back.

What?

I gotta wrap it up again

So you can open it in
front of the boys.

What about my other surprise?

Do I have to wait
for that one, too?

Mm. Mnh-mnh.

Good.

Batter up.

Frank?

Oh, hey.

Hey, how'd it go?

Good. Good. It went good.

Ow! My back hurts.

But I do love sleeping
under the stars.

You look nice.

Mm. Special memorial service
for michael's aunt.

She lost her son in vietnam.

General holden called me.

So give me a few
minutes to shower up,

And we'll go over together,
all right? Okay.

Hey, dad.

Hey, em. You look nice.

Thanks.

How'd the hearing go?

Fine.

Are you gonna save the post?
We'll see.

I hope so. I like this place.

Are you ready?

I can't believe all the
trouble you went to.

It was no trouble at all. I wish
uncle joe was here to see this.

Me, too.

Thank you all for coming.

This is a special
day for my family.

We're here to remember

Private first class
robert keith holden...

One of our brave soldiers
who fought in vietnam,

One who remains officially
missing in action to this day.

He was the only son of
joseph and edith holden.

And he was my cousin.

In 1970, bobby went to
aid a wounded soldier

And was never seen again.

He was just 18 years old.

I was a boy at the time,

But his selfless act
inspired me even then.

Yet, 40 years later,

Bobby still hasn't
returned home,

And his absence has left a hole

In the fabric of our family,

One which we hope to repair,

If only in part, today.

Aunt edie,

For four decades, you've
had no grave to visit,

No headstone to
lay flowers upon.

With your blessing,

We'd like you to think
of this sacred spot

At fort marshall As
bobby's memorial...

A place you are always welcome,

A place to reflect on
the life of your son.

The yellow rose is a
symbol of remembrance,

And we here

Honor the memory
of bobby holden.

Today, he has come home.

Thank you all so very much.

Present arms!

Order arms!

Little more. That way.

Whoa! Whoa!

Feels good, doesn't it?

Yes, ma'am.

What's that? It's
for you, ma'am.

It was supposed to be
delivered yesterday.

Thank you, sergeant.

You're welcome, ma'am.
