Beverly Hills, 90210 (1990–2000): Season 2, Episode 22 - Baby Makes Five - full transcript

When Kelly's mother Jackie, divulges the secret that she's pregnant, misunderstandings and grapevine talk between Kelly, David and Donna threaten to end the relationship between her and David's father Mel. Meanwhile, Nat takes Bra...

Mom, what are you doing?

Oh, l was just remembering
how sweet it was

to hold a baby in my arms, that's all.

Yeah, l was kind of cute, wasn't l?

But that was a long time ago.

l know, don't remind me.
l'm too old for this.

You're going to the doctor today,
aren't you?

Yes.

As if l need him to confirm

what every home-pregnancy test
on the market has already told me.

What does Mel have to say
about all of this?



You want your eggs
scrambled or fried?

ls there a reason
why you're not answering me?

- What?
- Mel. How is he taking all of this?

- He doesn't know.
- What?

Kelly, he doesn't want
any more children.

All he can talk about is how happy
he is you and David are grown

so that we can enjoy ourselves.

Yeah, but you still have to tell him.

Kelly, it's not that easy.

Why not? l mean, he doesn't
want a baby, you don't want a baby.

Why don't you tell him
you're taking care of it?

Valentine's Day
is my absolute favourite holiday.

lt is?
That's not what you said last year.

Well, it is now.



So, what are you and David doing?
Any big plans?

l don't know. David said something
about dinner with his dad.

- Well, that sounds romantic.
- Yeah, not.

So, what about you guys?

- He won't tell me.
- lt's a surprise.

- Oh, Dylan, come on.
- Nope.

Okay, let me guess.

- Dinner.
- No.

- Dancing.
- Stop guessing.

- l'm not telling you until Valentine's--
- Come on. Just one clue. Please?

Okay.

We'll be lying down.

- Lying down, like in a bed?
- Maybe.

Sounds sewy.

- Come on, that's not enough of a clue.
- Yes, it is.

See you.

So, Kelly, what do you think?

- About what?
- About me and Dylan.

What do you think he has planned?

l don't know, Bren.

And l hate to break it to you,
but l really don't care.

Well, excuse me.

Kelly, hi. l wanted to talk to you
about Valentine's Day.

Since my dad and l
are coming over for dinner,

and it is Valentine's Day and all, would
you mind if l brought Donna over?

- Oh, David, that's so sweet.
- No, it's not all right.

Sorry.

Kelly, lighten up.

Look, l don't even know
if there's gonna be a dinner, okay?

Look, l gotta go start my show.
l'll see you guys later.

Bye.

You know, l'm really tired of you
being mean to David

all the time for no reason.

Donna, l have my reasons.
Believe me.

What, then? What is it?

lf you don't have a reason,
just get off his back.

- Look, l don't wanna talk about it.
- Not even to us?

Not to anyone.

Kelly, come on, you can talk to us.
We're your best friends, remember?

Right. lf you can't trust us,
who can you trust?

Okay, but you guys have to promise
not to tell anyone, and l mean it.

- Cross my heart.
- Me too, it's crossed.

David's father and my mother...

- God, l can't believe this is happening.
- What?

They're always harping on us
to be so careful.

No.

- Yeah.
- What?

Donna, my mom's pregnant.

Oh, my God.

Don't forget, West Beverly faces off
against Beverly tonight.

The game starts at 8:00,

and we're hoping
it's a St. Valentine's Day massacre.

So be there.

- Hi, l have to talk to you.
- Oh, yeah, me too.

Listen, about Valentine's Day.
l'm sorry Kelly was so weird.

lt's all right.
She probably sensed something's up.

Yeah.

What do you mean?

- Can you keep a secret?
- Of course.

My dad told me he's planning on
asking Kelly's mom to marry him

on Valentine's Day.

Wow, that is so romantic.
Especially under the circumstances.

What circumstances?

Come on, David. Don't play dumb.

Kelly already told me about the baby.

The baby?

Wait a second. You don't know?

Know what?

Oh, God, forget it, David.
Forget l said a word.

No, no, Donna, tell me.
What's going on?

l can't tell you, l promised.
Kelly will kill me.

Come on, Donna. l'm your boyfriend.

Okay, but you have to swear.
This didn't come from me.

You can trust me.

Kelly's mom is pregnant.

What?

Well, that's probably why
your dad is asking her to marry him.

No, no way. There must be
some sort of misunderstanding.

Oh, God.
l knew l shouldn't have said anything.

Donna, that can't be true.
My dad would've told me about this.

- Maybe, except for one thing.
- What's that?

Maybe your dad doesn't know.

So, what do you think, spatula man?
ls it proper to give a friend a Valentine?

lf l give Kelly a card,
she's gonna think l'm interested.

You are interested.

Yeah, l'm interested,
but only if she's interested first.

- l don't want her thinking l'm pining.
- Then don't send her one.

Then she'll think l don't care.

You know.

You know you know.

That's the racing form, isn't it?

The only paper that gives true meaning
to the words ''news that you can use.''

- Can l look at it?
- Sure.

l've never looked
at one of these before.

Someone hit the Pick Six
and won $320,000?

What's a Pick Six?

That's when you pick six winners
on the same day.

- Have you ever done that before?
- Only in my dreams.

- Wow, you can actually read this?
- Sure.

See, over here,

this tells you all the horses
in today's card at the track.

lt tells you the horse,
the owner, the trainer, the jockey.

How well they did
in their last few races.

Everything you need to know
to make your pick.

Or you can forget about all this
and pick one out of the air.

Let's see...

Since l can't make
heads or tails of this,

l think l will take
the thin-air approach.

And l like this one.
The number three in the eighth race.

Oh, that doesn't look too good.
lt's kind of a long shot.

But that means
you can win big, right?

Maybe.
You see, because these horses--

- What's going on, guys?
- Oh, l'm just helping Nat pick a horse.

What do you know
about horseracing, Andrea?

Nothing.
l just like the name of the horse.

Andrea, you can't pick a horse
by the name.

lt's just a feeling, all right?

Nat, would you please explain that
picking a horse is a statistical science?

Sometimes.

l had a girlfriend once,
used to do the same thing.

She would pick a winner every time.
Of course, l never listened to her.

Take the three on the eighth race, Nat.
lt's coming in loud and clear.

Well, l learned my lesson never
to argue with a woman's intuition.

What's the name
of this horse, anyway?

Lovesick.

- Hi, Arlene.
- David.

- Hello, how are you?
- Fine.

ls my dad here?

You know, David,
l can't believe how you've grown.

- Arlene, you saw me three weeks ago.
- Really?

Well, you must have shot up
three inches since then.

ls my dad busy?
l really need to talk to him.

He always has time to see you.

- Go on in.
- Thanks.

- Hi, Dad.
- David.

What a great surprise. Come on in.

l didn't expect to see you
till Valentine's Day dinner at Jackie's.

Yeah, well, that's what l wanted
to talk to you about.

- ls everything okay?
- Yeah, it couldn't be better.

Here, look at this.

l picked it up this morning.
What do you think?

l know it's kind of extravagant,

but if anybody's worth it,
Jackie is, right?

Yeah. Yeah, l guess so.

David, l know this is
all kind of sudden,

but you'll see, before you know it,
we'll be one big, happy family.

Yeah. One big, happy, big family.

David, is something bothering you?

l don't know. Should there be?

Well, l know this
can't be easy for you.

Here l am going on about rings,

and you're facing
a whole new change.

Just remember one thing:

l'm here for you first and foremost.
You can always come to me.

l just wanted to make sure
you were okay.

This is what l want, David.
lt's making me very happy.

- l guess l'm happy too.
- Good.

Donna, how could you?

Well, see, l thought David knew,
and l guess l let it slip.

- But l told you it was a secret.
- l know, but...

l thought l could trust you.
How could you do this to me?

l didn't mean to, it just came out.

How could something this important,
this confidential, just come out?

When he said his dad was planning on
asking your mom to marry him,

- l just assumed.
- What?

Well, see, that's why
this dinner's such a big deal.

Mel's planning on proposing
on Valentine's Day.

lsn't that incredibly romantic?

Oh, my God.

This is so much worse
than l ever imagined.

Look, l know
l shouldn't have said anything,

but watch, everything will be fine.

They'll get married,
live happily ever after,

and no one's ever gonna find out
about any of this.

l promise.

So, what would you say if l told you

a certain mother
of a certain friend of ours

who's going out with a certain father
of a certain friend of ours is pregnant?

- Who?
- Take a wild guess.

Jackie and Mel?

- Well, you didn't hear it from me.
- l don't believe it.

l'll say. l mean,
Jackie's pushing 40 at least, right?

Dad, she's been pushing it for a while.
Anyway, Kelly is really freaked out.

l'd be freaked out too
if Mom was pregnant.

l wouldn't. l'd like it.

A baby in the house,
you remember that, Jim?

Bite your tongue. l mean,
dealing with all those dirty diapers

and sleepless nights, at our age?

Well, maybe l should
give Jackie a call.

No, Mom. You can't.

Look, it's a secret.

l promised Kelly
that l wouldn't say anything.

So you came straight home
and told us?

- No, l didn't, Mom guessed.
- Right.

lt's not the kind of secret that can be
kept for long, if you know what l mean.

Well, l just hope it works out.

Brandon, did Dylan say anything about
what we're doing for Valentine's Day?

Maybe.

Well, l think that you should tell me.

l can't, Bren. When my friends
tell me to keep my mouth shut, l do.

- Brandon.
- l can't.

A promise is a promise.

Come on, just tell me one thing.
ls it something really romantic?

Brandon, come on.

How could you have let this happen?

- l told you it was a secret.
- Mom, they're my best friends.

l didn't know Donna
was gonna tell David.

l thought you were mature enough
for me to share things with you.

l guess l was wrong.

Mom, l'm sorry, okay? But you're
gonna have to tell Mel eventually.

Yeah, l was gonna have to tell Mel.

l didn't expect that he would hear it
through the West Beverly grapevine.

Mom, come on.

Donna may have told David,

but that does not necessarily mean
that David told Mel.

l can't stand it.

You mean, you told Donna,
Donna told David and David told Mel?

This is becoming a farce.

- Look, there's more to it, okay?
- Of course there is.

- Mom, Mel wants to marry you.
- What?

David told Donna that he's planning on
asking you tomorrow night.

Kind of like a Valentine's present.

Oh, my God.

This is worse than l thought.

What's the matter?

l thought this would make you happy.
lsn't this what you wanted?

Of course not.

Don't you see, Kelly?

The only reason Mel's asking me
to marry him now

is because he thinks he has to.

Mom, that's ridiculous.

No, it's not. You don't know him.

This is all my fault.

No, it's not.

lt's my fault.

l got myself into this mess,
and l'm gonna get myself out of it.

Hey, Nat.

Hey, l been waiting
for you guys all day.

- Check this out, Lovesick came in.
- What?

- Your girlfriend's horse paid 1 5 to 1 .
- She's not my girlfriend, Nat, okay?

Maybe you should reconsider.

Hi, all.

- Andrea.
- Andrea.

Hey, lady luck, come in.
Soda's on the house.

- What's this?
- Your horse came in.

Lovesick? That's great.
Did you bet on her, Nat?

You bet l bet on her.
And she paid very handsomely.

- Do it again.
- Oh, l can't.

l don't know anything about this.

Just do what you did the first time.
Use your basic instincts.

Nat, she doesn't have any instincts.
This is Andrea Zuckerman.

- lt's just the facts, man.
- No easy money here, pal.

- Wait a minute.
- That's it, baby, come on.

Come on, feel it, baby.

- She's got something.
- Yeah, gas.

Oh, come on, give her a break,
Rome wasn't built in a day.

No. l thought it was something,
but it's nothing.

- Shucks.
- Yeah.

Wait, this is it.

The third race, number five.
Unrequited.

l'm beginning to sense a pattern
starting to form here.

- First Lovesick, now Unrequited?
- lt's a feeling, that's all.

Good girl.
Excuse me, l have a call to make.

l'm sorry, Mrs. Taylor,
but you don't have an appointment.

- This is personal.
- But you still have to wait.

- l don't have time to wait.
- Wait, you can't go in there.

- You can't go in there.
- Hello, Mel.

l'm sorry, Dr. S.,
but l couldn't stop her.

lt's all right, Arlene. This is Jackie.

- The Jackie?
- Yeah.

Oh, my gosh. l'm so embarrassed.

Go right ahead. Don't mind me.

Jackie, this is a surprise.
Are you all right? ls anything wrong?

Mel, l know you know.

- Know what?
- l know what you're doing, Mel.

And l appreciate it, really l do.
But l can't let you go through with it.

What are you talking about?

Valentine's Day dinner, for starters.
lt's off.

You came all the way down here
to cancel a dinner party?

Couldn't you do that on the phone?
l'm in the middle of a root canal.

This won't take long, l'm letting you off.
You should be thanking me.

- What hook?
- lt's all over, Mel.

l won't let you marry me
out of some sense of obligation.

- Jackie, what are you talking about?
- Oh, come on, Mel.

lt's no secret that you don't want
any more children. Admit it.

- Well, l--
- No, l've made up my mind.

l thought about this long and hard.

And l believe in a woman's
right to choose. l really do.

But this is the only choice for me.
l have to keep this baby.

Baby? You're gonna have a baby?

lt's okay. You don't have to pretend.
l know you know.

- That's why l came as soon as l could.
- Jackie--

Please, just let me finish.
This isn't easy for me, either.

But l've made my decision. l don't think
we should see each other anymore.

- What?
- l won't ask you for child support.

l won't make any demands
on your time or chequebook.

l'm gonna do this myself.

Sorry it had to work out this way,
but that's it.

- Jackie--
- No. l've made up my mind.

l love you, Mel.

But l'm sorry. lt's over.

Did you hear that?
l'm gonna have a baby.

Congratulations.

Come on, Dylan.

What are we doing for Valentine's
Day? You're driving me crazy.

That's the general idea.

All Brandon would tell me
is that it's something very romantic.

lt is.

Then give me some details.
Come on. Another hint, something.

Okay.

lt's red and it's warm.

You're giving me a sweater?

No, it's a little more intimate
than that.

- Red flannel lingerie?
- Funny.

No, it's closer to your heart.

Red, warm and close to my heart.
l don't have a clue.

Good.

l don't believe it. She did it again.

- lt's a lucky guess.
- No way.

- This girl's got something very special.
- Maybe she does.

Well, there's only one way
to find out for sure.

- Test it.
- How?

Well, we go to the track,

Andrea picks the horses,
Nat places the bets.

No way, l'm not gonna make bets
for minors. l could get arrested.

Come on, this is fun.

l've never been to the track before.

- Me either.
- Well, that settles it.

What do you say
we each throw in a hundred bucks?

- l don't have that kind of money.
- Okay, 50.

No, l'm not gonna take your money.

Come on, Nat.

Twenty-five bucks.
What's the big deal?

All right, you're on.
We'll go tomorrow.

ln fact, it's hat day.
But don't tell anybody.

Outstanding.

l told him and he just stood there.

Well, what did you expect him to do?

He didn't even try and stop me.

Well,

maybe it is better off this way.

How could l have let this happen?

l've been wondering
the same thing myself.

Yeah, well, it happened.

Time to move on.

Mom.

Why are you going through with this
when you don't have to?

l told you already. lt's not that easy.

What? You're just gonna lose Mel.

He's the first guy you've met in years

who actually cares about you,
and who you might even love.

All that just so you can have a baby
you don't even want?

Kelly, it's my baby.

lt's a part of me.

- l just can't-- l can't just get rid of it.
- Why not?

You've never had an abortion.

- Have you?
- Yeah.

When?

When you were about 1 0 years old.

l was partying all the time

and l'm embarrassed to admit,
l barely even knew the father.

For me, it was the right thing to do.

When l was little l always used to want
a little brother or a little sister.

l wished for it all the time.

Whenever l threw a penny
into a fountain or blew out a candle.

Well, sweetie,
it looks like you got your wish.

Good afternoon,
ladies and gentlemen,

and welcome to Santa Anita Park.

This afternoon's main track is listed
as fast and the turf course is firm.

- We now have some changes in--
- Thank you.

- You have a great day.
- Bye.

The first race, number seven,
will now be ridden by Corey Nakatani.

Come on, this money
is burning a hole in my pocket.

This is so majestic.

That's why they call it
the sport of kings.

So, Andrea, what do you think?
Anything brewing?

- Nothing, no clue.
- What, no vibes?

That's okay. We have all day.

Remember asking me
about the Pick Six?

- Yeah.
- See that guy over there?

He's the expert. He's done it. Twice.

- No kidding?
- Yeah.

Hey, Duke.

Nat, where you been
hiding yourself, pal?

How them horses know
they crossed the finish line

if they don't see you
standing there waiting for them?

l want you to meet
some friends of mine.

That's Brandon, Andrea and Steve,
this is my old pal, Duke Weatherill.

Best handicapper
this side of Aqueduct.

l'm just lucky. So you out here
for the sun or for the money?

The money.

Me too, guys.

- Little girl's got a knack.
- Yeah?

- Who do you like in this one?
- The seven horse.

- Seven horse?
- Yeah, what do you think?

Grande Amour.

Just shipped in from Argentina,
8 to 1 .

Grande Amour.
That means Big Love.

Very good, Steve.

So it's another in the series.

First Lovesick, then Unrequited.
Now Grande Amour.

Sounds like a bet to me.

Nice to have met you.
See you at the finish line.

- Good luck.
- Bye.

- Hi.
- Twice in two days, David.

ls this getting to be a regular thing?

My dad called me
and said he needed to talk to me.

lt sounded kind of important.

Go on in. He's got a minute between
a root canal and an extraction.

You know, l think you grew again.

Hey, Dad. What are you doing?

Just trying to figure out
how l messed my life up.

What's wrong?

- l just can't figure it out.
- What?

- Jackie broke up with me, David.
- What?

She just marched in here yesterday
and ended it.

But why?

Well, because...

l don't know
if l can soften the blow on this one.

Maybe l shouldn't even be
telling you.

Jackie is pregnant.

- l already know that.
- How do you know?

lt's really complicated.

- Kelly told you?
- No, not Kelly.

- Donna.
- Donna?

- Donna told-- How did Donna know?
- lt's a long story.

l'm sure it is.
David, you could have told me.

l thought you knew
and you didn't want to tell me.

l would tell you
something like that, David.

lt probably doesn't matter anyway.

She's having this baby
and l'm out of the picture.

Somehow, she's gotten it
into her head

that the only reason l wanna marry her
is because she's pregnant.

Do you know something about that?

- l guess that's kind of my fault.
- Your fault?

You see, l told Donna about the ring
because l was really excited.

And then Donna probably told Kelly
and Kelly told Jackie and Brenda,

- and Brenda told the Walsh's--
- Stop.

l'm sorry, Dad.

l didn't mean to mess anything up.

l know.

lt's not your fault.

So, what are you gonna do?

lf all else fails?

Beg.

They turn for home
and it's Ali's Knee on the lead

but Grande Amour is now coming
with a strong run down at the rail.

Eileen Forward's not doing enough

and it's Grande Amour,
now doing best of all at the rail.

Grande Amour and Ali's Knee,
these two are gonna fight it out

but Grande Amour
is gonna go on to win it.

And Grande Amour
has won it from Ali's Knee,

Blair's Beast came late to get third.

Andrea. Oh, man.

That makes three in a row.

God, Andrea, you're incredible.

You know, l always knew
you were smart, but this is outrageous.

l can't believe it either.

Nice going, little lady.
That was very well done.

l'm going to the cashier myself.

- And l'm with you.
- All right.

Come on, tell us.
How are you doing this?

l don't know, it's just this feeling
that comes over me.

- lt's kind of scary actually.
- Scary? What are you, nuts?

You're making us rich.

l don't know if l can do it again.
l don't know what it is l'm doing.

Just don't over analyse it.

Just go with it, you know,
find that Zen and cruise.

Breathe through your eyes.

- Let's go, bet, bet, bet, bet.
- Bet, bet, bet, bet, bet.

- Oh, it's you.
- Hi, Kel.

- ls your mother here?
- Mel, please, just go away.

l don't wanna talk about this anymore.
l've made up my mind.

Well, l haven't.

Well, it's not your decision to make.
lt's mine.

l'm gonna have this baby
whether you like it or not.

What is her problem?

Her hormones are in flux, Mel.

l think it has a little bit to do
with being pregnant.

Well, l wish you would talk
some sense into her.

And what would you like me to say?

Tell her that l don't wanna lose her.

You know, you have a lot of nerve
coming here.

You walk in,
you sweep her off her feet,

and then because the two of you
can't keep your pants on,

my whole life is about to fall apart.

- How could you let this happen?
- We made a mistake.

lt was stupid.
We should have been more careful.

Words are cheap now, all right?

Kelly, l love her.

Then send her a Valentine.

But then again,
l guess you already did.

David, bike riding was a great idea.

But you haven't said anything
for miles now.

Yeah, well,
l've got a lot on my mind.

Listen, l started this whole thing.
lt's my fault.

There's no reason to apologise.
lt would've come out sooner or later.

l can't believe she broke up with him.

Yeah, well, my dad's miserable,
Jackie's miserable, Kelly's miserable,

and l'm miserable and l don't
have anything to do with this.

Wait a minute,
maybe l'm missing something here,

but everyone's supposed to be happy
about this. Babies are wonderful.

lf Mel was gonna ask
Jackie to marry him

before he knew that she was pregnant,
why didn't he just tell her that?

He tried.

But first she didn't believe him.
And now she won't even talk to him.

Well, maybe she'll talk to you.

David, what are you doing here?

l really need to talk to your mother.

Your dad was already here
and she didn't wanna talk to him.

What makes you think
she'd talk to you?

- Just ask her, will you?
- lt's okay, honey.

l'll talk to David.

What's going on
with you and my dad?

Kelly, will you give us a minute?

David, l know this is hard for you.

But believe me, l'm not trying to hurt
either you or your father.

But you are. You're hurting him.

When he was gonna marry you,

he had a smile on his face
that l haven't seen in a long time.

He's happy with you, Jackie.
Why are you doing this?

David, your father has plans
that just don't include raising children.

And l'm not gonna
take that away from him.

l don't want him to marry me
just because l got pregnant

and he thinks he has to.

But l think he wants to be with you
and the baby.

He wanted to marry you way before
he knew you were pregnant.

You gotta believe me.

But didn't you tell him
l was pregnant?

No, l told Donna
that my dad wanted to marry you

and she told me
that you were pregnant.

l didn't even say anything.

Even after my dad showed me
the ring he had bought you.

But if you didn't tell him,
then who did?

You did.
Before you broke up with him.

Come on, it's Valentine's Day.

Give cupid a break.

Dylan, it's already Valentine's Day.
Tell me where we're going.

Not until tonight.

This is nuts. Give me another clue.

Okay, it's not for kids.
ln fact, kids aren't even allowed.

- Really?
- Yeah.

Bren, you gotta be at least 1 7 years old
to do what we are gonna do tonight.

Okay, we're heading out.

Wow, Mrs. Walsh. You look great.

Well, thank you, Dylan.

So where are you guys off to?

Oh, Dad's taking me to an early
Valentine's Day dinner at the beach.

We're gonna miss the sunset
if we don't skedaddle.

- Have a good time.
- Will you be here when we get back?

Ask him.
l don't even know where we're going.

Well, your plans don't involve anything
dangerous or, you know, risque?

- Dad.
- Hey.

l promise you, we will be
well taken care of in a public place, sir.

Thank you, Dylan.

Lying down, in a public place,
where you have to be 1 7,

while enjoying something red,
warm and close to the heart.

Keep guessing,
l'll pick you up at 7.

Come on, at least tell me what to wear.
ls it dressy, casual, what?

Wear anything you want.

Oh, actually, Bren, you know what?
Wear short sleeves.

The horses are now in the paddock
for our next race.

A reminder that we do--

Come on, Andrea. What's wrong?
You were doing great.

l don't know,
l just haven't felt any twinges.

Since the third race. We've been
here all day. We could've been rich.

Should've been rich.

Come on, come on, go easy.
You can't push this kind of thing.

Yeah, you don't want me
giving you any bad tips.

Besides, we all agreed. We'd only
make a bet when Andrea was sure.

lt's the last race, what do you think?

l don't know.

- Oh, my God.
- What?

- What, what?
- This is it, right here.

A filly named Cupid's Wing.

- Are you sure? This is it?
- l guess.

Cupid's Wing on Valentine's Day.
lt's too good, we can't lose.

That's it, we go for broke.
We take Cupid's Wing,

put all our earnings on it and win.

Wait a minute, wait a minute.
This filly's an 80 to 1 shot.

She hasn't come in
in her last six races.

- Are you sure about this?
- Yeah. l mean, l think so.

Okay, l'm going to the window.

- Right-o.
- Okay.

You know, all this handicapping,
it's making me very hungry.

- ln fact, l'm starving.
- Me too.

Why don't we go get dogs
and we'll meet you back here?

- Okay.
- Cool.

- You be all right?
- You bet.

Ladies and gentlemen,

the jockeys now out in the paddock
for the next race.

They will be mounting shortly.

And the runners
for today's next race--

- Hi.
- Hey, lady luck.

So, what are your fortunes
for the next six furlongs?

That one, Cupid's Wing.

Really. Well, l guess
it being Valentine's Day and all.

What's wrong?

lt's a sucker bet.

What do you mean?

l don't mean to throw your game,
sweetheart,

but that filly's way out of her class.

- That's what Nat said.
- Well, he was right.

You see, this is what they call
a claiming race.

That means
all the horses are for sale.

The owner of that horse

just hopes somebody's gonna
take her off his hands.

That's the only reason
she's in that race.

You mean there's no way
she can win?

She might.

But l gotta tell you,
that nag, one leg shy of a set.

Oh, Nat, l'm so glad
l found you in time.

- Why? What is it?
- You can't bet. l was wrong.

Come on, we're on a roll.

l know, but l ran into your friend Duke,
he told me the horse is a real loser.

- Duke said that?
- Yeah.

He knows what he's talking about,
l don't know what l'm doing.

lt's just stupid guessing.

He said to put your money down
on the six horse, Follow Me Home.

Follow Me Home.

That's 5 to 1 .
What are you trying to do, jinx this?

Jinx has nothing to do with this.

This information came straight
from the horse's mouth, so to speak.

Look, Cupid's Wing's is still 80 to 1 .
Do you know what that means?

Do you have any idea
how much we could make?

l'm sorry, Nat.
l just can't let you bet, l can't.

Oh, come on, don't do it to me.
Not now.

Next.

Well? What did you do?

Oh, ask me after the race.

And away we go.

General Lyon and Holly Knoll
came out well.

Now Cupid's Wing
is going to the lead.

Follow Me Home now goes up
to join the leaders on the outside.

Down the back stretch they go
and now Cupid's--

Come on, Cupid's Wing.

Come on, Follow Me Home.

Come on, Cupid's Wing.
Come on, come on, take it, take it.

Come on, Cupid's Wing.
Come on.

- Come on, baby.
- Come on, Cupid's Wing.

- What did you do, Nat?
- Let's go, let's go.

Follow Me Home,
General Lyon is now finishing fast.

And Cupid's Wing is now tired,
she can fly no more.

And Cupid's Wing is dropping out.

Follow Me Home
coming home strongly.

- And Follow Me Home--
- Come on, come on.

Good for nothing bag of bones.

- l can't believe it.
- Great, Andrea.

Remind me never to take you
to Las Vegas.

Quit giving her a hard time.

Yeah, don't blame me.
l tried to tell him.

Well, l hope you took my advice.

l don't know. Did we?

And the official winner of today's
third race, Follow Me Home.

Follow Me Home, the winner.

We did. Follow Me Home, boys.

Dinner's on me.

- l don't get it.
- Me either.

We won.

Do you understand
what just happened here?

l have no idea.

Well, that's because this little girl's
smarter than all of us put together.

And l figured out
another secret about this game.

- Yeah, what?
- Quit while you're ahead.

Smart girl.

Cash in.

- Hi, Mel.
- Jackie.

l hope l'm not interrupting. l know
the last time l came l kind of barged in.

l'm sorry.

l'm really glad to see you.

- How do you feel?
- Fine.

- l talked to David, Mel.
- l know, he told me.

ls it true then?

Did you really wanna marry me
before you knew l was pregnant?

Yes. l kept trying to tell you that.

l made such a fool of myself.
l'm so sorry.

lt's okay.

lt's one of the things
l love about you, you're passionate.

And all those things you said

about how happy you were
that David and Kelly are grown up?

They're grown up.

But there's a baby coming
that needs us.

- Both of us.
- Oh, Mel.

Hang on a minute.

Arlene, there's a box on my desk,
could you bring it in here please?

What are you up to?

There's something
that l've been meaning to give you.

Here it is.

Thank you, Arlene.

Thank you, Arlene.

Sorry, l'll be at the desk
if you need me.

l was gonna wait until tonight
to give this to you, but what the hell.

l wanna marry you, Jackie.

l wanna spend the rest of my life
with you and our child.

Will you marry me?

Oh, Mel. Yes.

Yes.

Thank you.

- Happy Valentine's Day.
- Happy Valentine's Day.

Okay, you've kept me in suspense
long enough.

Where are we going?

We are going to a play.

- A play?
- Yeah, it's called Love Letters.

lt's about a man and a woman

who are in love with each other
for a lifetime.

Although they never really
get together,

their love is so strong
that it grows in spite of them.

- Dylan, it sounds beautiful.
- Oh, it is.

But l don't get it.

What does a play have to do
with those clues?

Well, the play's not the only place
we're going tonight.

We are gonna go
someplace else first.

Oh, Kel, how sweet.
Steve sent you a Valentine's Day card.

Yup. Good thing l sent him one.

Dinner is almost ready.

Wait, l wanna make a toast.

Sparkling cider all around.

To new beginnings.

To you, Jackie.

And to babies born of love.

Well, this is one Valentine's Day
l'll never forget.

See, Kel?
l told you everything would work out.

Yeah, l guess it did.

Well, if you guys
are getting married,

that means you two
are brother and sister.

Oh, my God.

Donating blood?

You know, l never would have
guessed this in a million years.

Well, it's like l said. You gotta be 1 7,
we will be lying down,

and blood is warm,
red, and close to your heart.

lt's probably a good thing
you kept it secret

because l just might not have come.

Bren, l know you're scared,
but it's not that big a deal, really.

Yeah.

Actually, l've been wanting to do it
for a long time.

When l was a kid,
l was in an automobile accident.

My head went through the windshield.
That's how l got the scar.

l needed a lot of blood.

Anyway, l decided
that when l got older,

l'd give some back.

l thought you'd wanna do it with me.

But why tonight?

The accident happened
on Valentine's Day.

Dylan, it's weird.

But somehow,
this is the most romantic thing

we could ever have done together.

Happy Valentine's Day, Bren.

Happy Valentine's Day.
