David, I don't know
how you eat that stuff

or where you put it.

Well, I'm a growing boy,
and I need the sugar rush

if I'm going to get through
my first period math class.

Can you say "sugar rush"?

Try that.

Please, don't get her started.

Oh, by the way,

the real estate people
are coming today,

so make your beds, okay?

Sure.

David, did you eat
the last banana?

Yeah, I guess so.

Oh, that's just great. Thank you

very much. I was saving
that banana for my breakfast.

What am I, a mind reader?

Don't mind her, David.

She's just getting in

the last moments of immaturity

before she turns

18 years old.

Would you like

half of my jelly donut?

No, I don't want half
of your jelly donut.

I want my banana.

I can make you some eggs. Hello.

I don't want eggs.

I know. You want a banana.

That's all right. I shouldn't
be eating anyway.

Donna, we can't
talk about this now.

Okay. I'll ask her.

I'll see you at school.

All right, bye.

Ask me what?

Oh, not you.

Don't mind me.

I just live here.

Oh, honey, wait.

About your birthday.

I was thinking, um, maybe just
a small dinner tomorrow night

with the three of us,
Donna and Dylan.

Whatever.

Donna wants to know

if we can throw the party here.

David, I told you, we can't.

Not with real estate brokers

and buyers in and
out all the time.

I know. It's just as well.

The way she just bit my
head off, I don't even know why

we're throwing her a
birthday party in the first place.

Oh, she'll be okay.
She just woke up

on the wrong side of
the bed this morning.

Listen, you just find a place,

and I'll pay for
whatever the party costs.

I still don't get why we
can't do it at your house.

I told you.

My mother's not going to
Santa Barbara anymore.

So, she'll be there.

It's not like we're playing Spin
the Bottle in the living room.

David, my mother's idea of a
birthday party are six guests,

all girls, and a birthday cake

in the shape of your
age. No, thank you.

So, what are we

supposed to do, then?

I mean, the party's tonight,
and you've already invited

half the free world.

I'll think of something.

Look, just cover for me, okay?

Oh, man.

So, how's the writing coming?

It's coming.

Look, I know how
hard it is to get started.

It can be a real
struggle at first,

but I know it's
going to be great.

No, I mean, it's really coming.

Really? Yeah.

Once I get to typing, I
just can't stop, you know?

I just keep doing it
and doing it and doing it.

Whoa. We should all
have it so tough. Yeah.

Listen, you guys, we
have a slight problem with

Kelly's party... Like,
no place to have it.

Good.

I hate surprise parties.

It's like having a job
interview on your birthday.

Yeah, when have you
ever had a job interview?

Look, you guys,
why don't we just do it

at the Peach Pit, like
we first thought of?

Well, there's always
the Walshes. Bad idea.

Hi, guys. Kel.

Hi. How you doing?

Fine.

I, uh... I got to
get to AP English.

I'll see ya.

Yeah. Me, too.

Bye.

So, uh, have you seen Brenda?

No.

Oh, well, I have
to go find her. Bye.

Something I said?

Brandon, you promised me.

Come on, I told the
producers we'd be there.

And it's a favor for my mom.

Steve, it's just not
my thing, okay?

Since when are gorgeous
girls not your thing?

Brandon, we made the cut.

We've already been
accepted as contestants.

Look, I just don't
want to meet girls

on a game show called
Love At First Sight, okay?

Better do it, Brandon.

May be your last chance

to get a date this year.

Oh, yeah? And when was

the last time you went
out on a date, huh?

Hi, guys. Bye, guys.

Brandon,

these are going to be
the most awesome girls

we have ever seen.

Each and every one of
them have been hand-picked

by dirty old men who
call themselves producers.

Picture it, Brandon.

Girls with legs all
the way to their neck.

Not an ounce out of place.

They're perfect.

Perfect, huh?

There's no such
thing as perfect.

Listen, Bren,

I know it's last minute,
but I was wondering

if we could do this
party thing at your house.

Donna, just leave
me out of this, please.

I'm not exactly prepared

to give Kelly a surprise
party right now, okay?

But you are coming, right? Yeah.

I'll definitely be there.
Just tell me where.

Where else?

The Peach Pit.

Hi.

Chip?

No, thanks.

Dylan, have you noticed

anyone acting weird
around here lately?

Like who?

Like David.

David is weird.

And Donna.

And Brandon and Steve and you.

I'm not acting weird.

I'm just reading a book.

I don't know.

I just feel like something
weird's going on.

Are you still taking
those things?

Yeah. So?

So, maybe you ought
to eat something.

I think you're
missing the point.

Vitamins, fiber...

What's phenylpropanolamine?

I don't know.

I guess it's the stuff that
makes you lose weight.

How many of these
are you taking?

Just like it says on the box.

One before each meal.

I did read the directions.

You sure they're good for you?

Dylan,

they're over-the-counter
appetite suppressants.

You can buy them anywhere.

You are the last
person I would expect

to be turning into my mother.

I just don't like to see
you starving yourself.

Mmm, happy?

Kel...

Just get off my back.

Look, I'm not on your back.

Then let's just drop it.

What about tonight?

What about tonight?

I'll pick you up about 8:30.

Okay.

Brandon, this is
your last chance.

I'm calling the
producer this afternoon.

Do I tell him one
or do I tell him...

Look, Steve... Tell him two.

What?

I think you should do it.

You do? Andrea,

you are the last
person in the world

I'd expect to tell me to
go do a sexist game show.

Excuse me, what makes it sexist?

The girl gets to pick

which guy she
wants to go out with.

Sounds like fun.

Besides, it might
help to fill page three.

Well, there you have it,

the Andrea Zuckerman
seal of approval.

What more could you ask for?

Well, what about
Kelly's party, huh?

Did you forget about
that? It's tonight.

No, I have not forgotten
about Kelly's party,

but it doesn't start until 9:00.

The taping will be
through by 7:00, easy.

Brandon, go for it.

Don't you have a class
to go to or something?

Good-bye, Brandon.

I hope you can handle
this crisis of conscience.

Why are you holding out on me?

I don't get it.

Steve, I just don't
think it's a good idea

for us to do this
together, okay?

I get it.

You're afraid I'm
gonna show you up.

You're afraid one
of those babealicious

women are gonna choose me

over you. You see,

Steve, this is exactly
what I'm talking about.

You get a charge out of this.

You can't stop
competing with me.

Brandon, it's a game show.

You're supposed to compete.

Except you take things like this

way too seriously, man.

I do not.

All right, what about the twins

on the beach this summer, huh?

I'm a legend because of
that. Yeah, you are, okay

but what about Brooke?
What about Nikki?

I'm not gonna get into
some sort of jealousy trip

with you over a television show.

It's not worth it.

Okay, I see your point, but...

that probably won't happen.

It won't even come up, Brandon.

We probably won't even
be on the same panel.

And how do you know that?

Because there's gonna
be dozens of guys there...

and more importantly,

there's gonna
be dozens of girls.

You'll have a terrific
time, Brandon.

I personally guarantee it.

You promise I won't regret this?

Regret it?

My man, you're gonna
fall in love at first sight.

Okay, okay.

I'll do it.

Dude, we're gonna
have such a killer time.

I'll pick you up at
a quarter to 5:00.

What's the matter, Kelly?

You tell me.

Tell you what?

You see that?

David, Donna and Andrea.

So?

So they're talking
about me again.

Kelly, it's just
your imagination.

Come on,

Steve, just tell me
what's going on.

If I tell you,

you've got to promise
no one will know

that it was me that told you.

Okay, I promise.

Just tell me.

It's about your birthday.

Oh, God. Come on.

Donna's planning a
surprise party for you.

Practically the entire
class is going to be there.

I told Donna I didn't want a
party. I told Dylan and my mother

that I di... Calm
down, calm down.

You do this to
yourself all the time.

Remember when you were 16?

You made a big deal about
telling your mom how you didn't

want a sweet 16 party,
so she didn't make you one.

Then you got furious at her.

I know, but that's different.

This is a surprise party,
and I hate surprise parties.

What's going on here?

This is not the Kelly
Taylor I know and love.

Well, maybe I just don't feel

like being Kelly
Taylor right now.

I'm gonna go home.

Want me to walk you to your car?

No, that's all right, I'm fine.

I-I just... I want to go.

You're going to be there, right?

I wouldn't miss
that for the world.

Good, 'cause you're,
like, the only person

in this whole place
I can trust right now.

Great news. We're on.

Peach Pit, 9:00.

Great. It's going to be perfect.

I can't wait to see Kelly's face

when she walks
through that door.

Yeah, me, too.

♪ ♪

The house has five
bedrooms, four and a half baths.

The kitchen, of course, has
been completely renovated.

Hi, Kelly.

This is Jackie's daughter.

She goes to West
Beverly Hills High.

I was just telling
Mr. Browers here what a great,

uh, school that is.

I wouldn't know.

I just dropped out.

Do you mind not
smoking in my house?

This would be your room, honey.

What do you think?

It's perfect.

Would it be all
right if I opened

the closet? JACKIE:
Oh, of course.

Go right ahead.

Oops.

Oh, your daughter has
such beautiful clothes.

Expensive clothes.

Oh,

Becky, maybe we should
get you something like this.

Or maybe she'd like to try it on

while she's here, although I
don't think red is your best color.

Kelly, what are you doing home?

Gee, I thought
I still lived here.

This is our house,
isn't it, Mom?

Yes, but maybe not much longer.

Well,

it is a beautiful house.

Thank you.

And we're selling it real cheap,

so why don't you just take it?

Take everything
while you're here.

Need some new jeans, new shoes,

new underwear?

Why don't you just help
yourself to my closet?

Kelly. What? You like

this sweater?
Take it, it's yours.

Okay, that's enough.

How about some

new CDs? A new life?

Why don't you take my boyfriend?

We're not getting
along that well anyway.

I'm really sorry. I didn't
mean to... Honey, come on.

Kelly, I want you to apologize

to Mrs. Brower and
her daughter right now.

Did I say something wrong?

Thank you very much.

You're welcome.

Oh, damn it.

I wonder where
all the girls are.

I don't know, Steve,

probably locked in a
soundproof booth somewhere.

Okay, everybody, listen
up. Hi, my name is Bobby

Pandolfo. I'm the
contestant coordinator

here at Love At First Sight.

I recognize a lot of you.

Glad to see you
shaved and got a haircut.

Okay.

Now, we're going to
be taping six shows

here today, so
everybody'll get a chance.

I'm here to teach you
how to play our game.

Excuse me, Bobby,

where are all the girls?

Down, boy!

Okay, no,

they're all back in makeup
getting even more gorgeous

than they already were
when they got here.

Okay? Now, for this
practice round, gentlemen,

I'll play the part of
your dream date.

And, uh, everybody ready?

Yeah.

Gentlemen, is
that the enthusiasm

you're going to show
these beautiful babes, huh?

I said... is everybody ready
to play Love At First Sight?

Yeah!

Okay, all right.

Uh... Steve, how
about we start with you?

Let's start out with
something simple.

How far do you like
to go on the first date?

Well, that depends.

I mean, uh, can you say
that sort of thing on TV?

No, no, no, no, no, no.

Now, if a girl asks
you how far you

like to go on the first date,
a good answer might be,

uh...

Santa Barbara.

Get it?

Okay.: This is really bad.

All right, next question.

Uh, Steve, where is
the most unusual place

you've ever kissed a girl?

The belly button!

The belly button.

You've played this before.

Did you hear that?
Steve, this is too lame.

Come on, I'm great at this.

I got to go to the head.

Hurry up.

One more, one more.

Steve, if you
were a vegetable...

Zucchini.

Excuse me.

Do you know where
the ladies' room is?

No, not really.

I-I'm sorry.

I, I thought you worked here.

No.

Are you a contestant?

Sort of.

I kind of got roped into this.

Me, too.

So you're a contestant, too?

Yeah.

I guess we probably
aren't supposed

to be talking to each other.

I could wind up your
dream date or something.

I wouldn't complain.

Me, either.

By the way, I'm Celeste Lundy.

Hi, Celeste, I'm Brandon.

Brandon Walsh.

Brandon, they're looking for us.

They want to split
us up into groups.

Okay.

Uh, I guess I'll see you later.

Whoa, who's this?

Oh, sorry. Steve, Celeste.

Celeste, Steve.

Hi. STEVE: Hello.

Well, good luck, Brandon.

You, too, Steve.

Thanks.

That's what I call a
dream date. Oh, yeah.

In fact, I think I'm falling
in... Love At First Sight!

Oh!

Oh, you're gonna have
a great time, you jerk!

Come on!

Did they make an offer?

No, they didn't,
and I seriously doubt

we'll be seeing them
in the near future.

I'm sorry.

Yeah, you should be.

Whatever possessed you to
be so awful to those people?

I don't know.

I mean, I, I walked in

and I saw total strangers
going through my closet.

Kelly, what am I supposed to
do? Tell every prospective buyer

that your room is off
limits? How about we start

by telling your broker
not to smoke in the house?

How about we start by
changing your attitude right now?

Or maybe we should just
take the house off the market

and declare bankruptcy.

How about if I
never say anything

about anything ever again?

That is exactly what
I am talking about.

Practically every conversation
we have had for the last month

has ended in some kind of
snide remark, and I'm sick of it.

So am I.

My life is a total mess
and nobody understands.

Honey,

I know you're going
through a rough patch

with the divorce and the move.

We all are.

I hate to see you so
moody all the time.

You're not a kid anymore.

You're going to be
18 years old tomorrow.

You got to try and cope
with some of these things.

Don't remind me.

Is that what's bothering you?

I don't know.

Maybe.

This, too, shall pass.

I hate open houses.

Okay, listen up, everybody.

If I call your name out,

that means you are a contestant

on the first show we'll
be taping here today.

Okay, girls for show
number one will be...

Adrienne Mitchell.

Why don't you come
right down here?

And Cynthia Pratt.

Don't you look lovely?

And Celeste Lundy, come on down.

Dude, this is definitely
the panel I want to be on.

Okay,

male contestants
for show number one.

Our friend Steve Sanders,

uh, Mark Garfield...

Hi... and last but not
least, Brandon Walsh.

Well, what do you know?

We're on the same show.

Hmm.

Mom, do we have
any wrapping paper?

Yeah, sure, hon, it's right
on the window seat over there.

What have you got there?

A, uh, birthday
present for Kelly.

Oh, what did you get her?

A sweater.

She'll probably return it.

Well, you don't sound
very enthusiastic about it.

You know, they asked me

if they could have
the party here.

Well, it would have
been okay with me.

Yeah, but it wouldn't
have been okay with me.

But you are going.

I mean, you're
still friends, right?

Yeah.

Well, Brenda, you're trying.

I know you are.

Well, a party is a party, right?

Right.

You know who I was
thinking about today?

Totally out of the blue?

Darla.

Darla Hansen.

What's she up to? I don't know.

Probably getting ready to go
to the University of Minnesota

just like everybody
else back home.

Do you ever talk to her?

Not since her
sister got married.

I mean, we were so close.

I just kind of let her go.

Well, distance is hard.

No, it's more than that.

I mean, when we moved here,

Beverly Hills made everything
back home seem so small,

so insignificant.

But I'm starting to realize
that I miss those guys,

you know, all my old friends.

Well, you've made a lot of
good friends, here, too, sweetie.

Yeah, but still, I think
I'll give Darla a call,

see what's going
on in the real world.

Good.

So, is she ready?

She's been getting
dressed for the past hour.

Yeah.

Honey? Dylan's here.

Oh, my God.

Honey, what's the matter?

I can't find my other red shoe.

This is just perfect.

So, wear another pair.

It doesn't matter. Does it?

It's like nothing
I do is right...

I can't even find
anything in my own house.

Kelly...

I'm not going.

Because of a pair of shoes?

No.

Because I'm not going, okay?

Thanks for coming.

Now, bye-bye. Honey...

See you later.

Where'd you get this thing?

It's for, like, a five year old.

It's cute.

Besides, Kelly still
sleeps with her teddy bear.

Yeah, well, Renfro's
getting a little ragged.

How's that?

A little higher on your side,

Donna.

Bren, you're early.

I thought you guys
might need some help.

Okay, Adrienne.

This is your last question.

Brandon... if you
were an animal,

would you be a tiger,
a puppy or a shark?

Uh...

I don't know, uh, uh,

I guess I'd be a, a puppy.

Oh, Brandon, you dirty dog.

Okay, Celeste.

You're up.

This is for...

Steve.

If you could take
just three things

to a desert island,
what would they be?

Sunscreen,

a cellular phone, you.

Ooh, sounds serious.

Next question, Celeste.

This is for Brandon.

Pretend you're a famous

plastic surgeon,

and you can transplant
parts of any of the three of us

from one to the other.

Make the perfect woman.

That, that's,
that's a tough one,

you're all very beautiful girls.

I think if I had to
rearrange anything,

I'd, uh... I'd make you
all look like Celeste.

Well, I guess we know

who Brandon has his eye on.

And we'll be back for
more Love at First Sight

right after this.

Don't go away.

What are you doing?

What do you mean,
what am I doing.

I'm playing the game. No,
you're not playing the game.

You're horning in on Celeste.

So, that's the game.

Steve, I can't help it

if we're both hot
for the same girl.

I knew this would
happen. No, you didn't

know this was gonna happen.

I knew this was gonna happen.

I told him; you
wouldn't listen to me.

That's because you're a puppy.

Hi, and we're back

for our final, lightning round

which will determine
which lucky couple

gets to go on our Love
at First Sight dream date.

She's getting dressed.

Thanks.

It must require a
mother's touch, huh?

What'd you tell her?

I calmed her down...

and then I did what
mothers always do.

I found her shoe in the hamper.

Maybe I'm getting good at this

in my old age. Mm-hmm.

Knock, knock.

Come in.

How do I look?

Phew, you look perfect.

Love the shoes.

Let's go.

♪ Baby, gonna pick
you up tonight... ♪

Hey, how you doing?

Oh, I'm sorry.

Hey, Nat. Hello, my darling.

Hello, man.

Uh, you guys, it's almost 9:30.

Shouldn't they be here by now?

Donna just went to call Jackie.

Kelly sure has a lot of friends.

The natives are
getting restless.

Where's the guest of honor?

I talked to Jackie;
they just left the house.

Okay, yo, listen up, everybody!

Hey!

Kelly should be here
in about ten minutes.

All right.

Steve and Brandon
have both picked Celeste.

Mark has chosen Cynthia.

And now it's the girls' turn.

So, let's see if
we have a match.

Cynthia, who have you chosen

for your dream date?

Cynthia picked Steve.

All right, there's
no match there.

Now Adrienne,
you weren't selected

which means you'll
already be returning

in our next group
of contestants,

but let's see who you picked,

just for fun.

Brandon.

And finally, Celeste.

A very popular lady right now.

Celeste, have you
fallen in love at first sight?

Yes.

So, who is it, Brandon or Steve?

Steve.

All right, we have a match!

Celeste and Steve!

Are we in Love at First Sight?

Well, Steve, are you
ready for your dream date?

Yes, sir.

How 'bout you, Celeste?

I sure am.

Well, you both sound
pretty enthusiastic.

And I know you're going
to have a great night.

And of course, we
want to hear all about it.

So, Celeste, take notes,

because we want
to hear everything.

Well, you look like you're ready

to plant a big one right

on that gorgeous kisser of his,

right here and
right now. Mm-hmm.

Well, go on. Go for it.

Whoo! All right!

Right now we have a limousine

waiting outside our studio,

ready to whisk Steve
and Celeste away

on their Love

at First Sight dream date.

Now?

Right now, Steve.

Tell 'em what they've won, Don.

Steve and Celeste will speed

from our studios in Hollywood

to Santa Monica's fabulous
Beachfront Oasis Resort

and Hotel,

where they will dine as
guests of Love at First Sight...

I can't do this tonight,

I've got a birthday
party to go to.

Overlooking the beautiful
Santa Monica bay. Hey!

The two of you, you make
a great looking couple.

Right down here. Look,
I can't do this tonight.

I have other plans.

What do you mean
you have other plans?

I mean I have other plans.

Nobody said anything
to me about tonight.

I can't do this.

Steve, you signed
the release forms.

Didn't you, didn't
you read it, huh?

No time to get cold feet now!

Listen, if you don't want
to go through with this,

that's okay.

No, no it's not okay.

Do you know how much this
"dream date" set us back, huh?

You're going, you're
gonna have a great time.

And you're gonna come
back and tell us all about it.

Look, my job is on
the line here, bud.

So just shut up
and get in the car.

Are you hot?

It is so hot.

No, it's not.

It's freezing, Kel.

My heart is beating so fast.

What is it? Something you ate?

Hardly.

It's probably
those diet pills, Kel.

I told you.

They're over the counter,
harmless nothings.

I'm just really stressed out

about this whole birthday thing.

What whole birthday thing?

Nothing.

Who told you?

Nobody. I figured it out

on my own.

All the whispering
behind my back had

to mean something.

That's why you were so
stressed out about what to wear

tonight. Well, I
couldn't look like a slob

at my own birthday party. Kel,

you never look like a slob.

Do you remember

in the second grade,

Mrs. Doveetch make me
"King for a Day" on my birthday.

Yeah, you looked very
cute in your little crown.

Yeah,

but it was also Kathy
Collen's birthday.

So she got the
wand, I got the crown,

and we had to agree on what all

of our royal commands
were gonna be.

It was awful.

Brenda told me once

that she asked her
parents to move her birthday

so she wouldn't have to
share it with Brandon anymore.

So, I guess none of us
are very good at sharing.

Do you think she'll
be there tonight?

Yeah, of course she will be.

Hey.

Hey, hey, did I make it?

Yeah, but they'll
be here any minute.

Oh, that's them!

That's Dylan's signal.

Everyone hide, hide!

Move, move, move.

Get down!

Get down.

Okay, okay, cool.

Kelly, you sure you're
ready to go through with this?

I'm as ready as I'll ever be.

All right.

Surprise!

Thank you.

What are you guys doing here?

It's your 18th birthday.

I couldn't just let it go.

Happy Birthday.

I didn't think you guys
were gonna show up.

Man, what happened?

Traffic.

Kelly, Happy Birthday.

Thanks.

So, how's the birthday girl?

Very surprised.

Where's Steve?

He got the girl behind
door number three.

Happy birthday, sweetie. Thanks.

I hear the Beachfront
Oasis is a fabulous hotel.

You know, I've never
ridden in a limousine

before.

This is really exciting.

I'm sorry, I'm not in the mood.

Boy, this is some dream date.

I don't believe this.

No one said anything to me
about going out right after the show.

Did you know about this?

Yeah, sure.

They explained it all
to us, over and over.

Nobody explained anything to me.

Well, as long as we're here,

can't you at least
try to enjoy it?

Celeste, you don't understand.

It's my best friend's
18th birthday party tonight

and I'm not there.

Well, what time's the party?

Maybe you can still make it.

The cake's supposed
to be at midnight.

So that still gives
us tons of time.

We'll go get our
dinner over with,

dance a few dances, smile for
the camera and say good night.

How long could that take?

You mean that?

It's your best
friend's birthday.

You've got to be there.

Yeah.

You want to dance?

No, I think I'm

Hey, Brandon, you
having good time?

Yeah, I was just, uh,

protecting the
cheese platter here.

Oh.

So, Jordan, how's it going, man?

You all ready to
take Yale by storm?

Honestly, I'm a little nervous.

Nervous?

Why, what have you
got to worry about?

So Andrea tells me you
went on a game show.

Did you find the
woman of your dreams?

I thought so.

And then she found Steve.

Too bad.

But it will make great copy.

Jordan, would you
do me a favor? Hmm?

Would you tell your friend
here that not every one

of our life experiences has
to end up in her newspaper?

Excuse me, Kel.

Kelly, are you okay? Yeah.

Yeah, I'm sorry, did
you need the sink?

Yeah.

Do you feel all right?

Yeah, yeah, I'm fine.

I'll be out in just a minute.

Okay.

18 candles and
one for good luck.

Uh, David, will you
go get the lights?

Oh, we can't do
the cake thing yet.

Kelly's in the bathroom.

Well, it's almost midnight.

We'd better do it before
people start to leave.

I'll go get her.

No, it's all right, I will.

You finish the cake. Okay.

Should we light it?

Uh, yeah, go ahead.

I'll be right there in a minute.

I just have to get Kelly.

Oh, my God, Kelly!

Brandon, Nat, call 911!

Kelly.

Oh, my God, Kelly, come on.

Kelly, wake up.

Kelly, wake up!

Hurry up!

I've never seen anyone
finish dinner so quickly.

I told you I'd get you here.

Are you sure you
won't come in with me?

No, they're your friends.

Thanks, Celeste.

For everything.

Go on, maybe
you can get in there

before Kelly blows
out her candles.

Can I call you?

You'd better.

Nat, where is everybody?

What happened?

I got some bad news.

You know, I knew she was taking

too many of those
stupid diet pills.

Plus the fact that
she apparently

hasn't eaten anything
in, like, two weeks.

I should've thrown them away.

It's not your fault.

None of us did anything.

Do you guys think maybe

she has anorexia or, uh...

Bulimia?

Yeah. Has anybody seen

her binge, throw up,
anything like that?

I haven't, what
about you, Donna?

No, me either.

Bren?

We haven't been spending
too much time together lately.

What'd the doctor say?

Well, she's gonna be fine.

Jackie's in there with
the doctor right now.

He said we could
see her pretty soon.

Well, I-I think I'm gonna
go to the coffee shop.

Does anyone want to come?

We will.

Yeah, me, too.

It's better than
waiting around here.

D, you coming down?

No, man, I think I, uh, I'm
just gonna stay right here.

You guys go ahead, though.

I think I'll stay, too, Brandon.

Cool.

You know, most of the time

Kelly and I don't even know
if we're friends anymore.

Maybe I should just go home.

No, Bren, stay.

I know she'll want to see you.

I still don't understand
how this happened.

I thought these things
are supposed to be safe.

You can buy them
in the supermarket.

They generally are,

if they're used properly.

But Kelly's been
taking as much as twice,

possibly three times

the normal dosage for
a couple of weeks now.

Combined with too much
caffeine and no food,

her heart couldn't handle it.

But I feel fine now.

You got off easy.

I've seen much worse problems:

kidney damage, even strokes.

Honey, what could possibly

have possessed you
to do this to yourself?

I didn't do anything to myself.

I went on a diet, that's all.

A starvation diet that
could have killed you.

But I'm fine now.

Right, Doctor?

Well, I don't see any
need for you to stay

in the hospital after tonight,

but I want you
eating, young lady.

A balanced, sensible diet.

And I want you to consider
getting into some kind

of professional support system.

How 'bout if I just promise
to pig out a couple of times?

This is no joke, Kelly.

You're not in real trouble
yet, but you're on your way.

Now, the hospital

has a very good
eating disorder group.

I don't have an eating disorder.

Honey, I think you
should consider what

Dr. Tarica is suggesting.

What, spend an hour in a circle

with a bunch of girls groaning
about food? No, thank you.

It's okay, we'll
talk about it later.

Guys, she can see you now,

but it's late, so just
for a minute, okay?

Go ahead in.

Kelly. BRENDA: Hi, Kel.

Leave it to you,
Kel, to know how

to get attention
on your birthday.

I told you I didn't
want a party.

Steve.

Hey, is Kelly all right?

She's okay, Steve, she's okay.

Wh-Where is she?
She's, uh, in 105.

The paramedic was very cute.

Yeah, how was all that
mouth-to-mouth, Kel?

I had mouth-to-mouth?

Don't get excited, I don't
think "very" is the word.

Oh he was "very."

You better get out of here

before the nurses
have me arrested.

Bye, Kel. See you later, Kel.

Take care, good night, Kel.

Thanks, Donna.

Feel better, okay?

You picked a hell of a place
to have a birthday party.

Steve, you came.

I wouldn't miss
your birthday. Oh.

You didn't tell them
I told you, did you?

No, of course not.

I hate to break this up,

but, uh, it is time
to say "good night."

Good night, Kel. Feel
better, sweetheart.

Feel better, you look good.

Bye. Bye.

Bye, guys. Bye.

Uh, Dylan, could you
leave us alone for a minute?

Is that okay? Sure.

Come on, Dylan, why don't
you buy me a cup of coffee?

You scared me.

Don't worry, I'm fine.

In fact, it looks like
I'm going to live,

so you can't have Dylan back.

Kelly, we all have to stop

making ourselves
nuts about the past.

But, Kelly, please,

if you were trying
to punish yourself...

Brenda, I really

think you're overreacting.

I just took too many diet pills.

Why is everybody acting
like I tried to commit suicide?

I'm not saying that.

All I'm saying is that no
matter what's happened,

I love you.

Even though you
don't always know it,

and even though I
don't always show it.

So don't ever let it
happen again, okay?

Okay.

Call me tomorrow, I'll
take you out for ice cream.

Ha, ha.

Okay?

Yeah, everything's okay.

Thank you.

Good night, Bren.

You doing all right?

Yeah, I guess I am.

It's after midnight,
so happy birthday.

Thanks.

Dylan?

Hmm?

Thanks for staying.

Where else would I want to be?

Get some sleep, okay?
