Beverly Hills, 90210 (1990–2000): Season 4, Episode 17 - Thicker Than Water - full transcript

What's up, people?
Finals are finally over,

and if you're smart,
you're getting out of here for the week.

I will personally be Velcroed
to the microphone here at KXCU.

But, well,
my life's in the tank anyway.

Let's see,
I haven't slept in two weeks,

I haven't talked
to my girlfriend in three.

Well, actually,
I've told you all this already.

Anyway here's a funky little track
that'll get us all feeling a little bit better.

What's up, man? What are you
doing here at the crack of dawn?

Actually, I'm here to talk to you.

- What's up?
- I know you broke up with Donna,



but I'm getting sick and tired of you
spilling your guts on my airwaves.

Well, I'm a DJ.
It's called self-expression.

It's called self-indulgence.

And you may be the DJ,
but I'm the station manager, all right.

So from now on, cut out the chatter
or I don't approve your playlist.

Wait a second,
what's wrong with my playlist?

It's depressing. Just like you.

Okay, you're right. I'm sorry.

Listen, man,
I haven't been feeling too hot lately.

I can't sleep. I can't eat.

Is there something you can get me
to take the edge off?

- Like what?
- Some pills or something.

What do I look like?
A walking drugstore?

You want pills, go see a doctor.



You're the one who gave me the meth
in the first place, all right?

Now I can't think, my heart's pumping,
and I gotta get some sleep.

It's easy. Stop doing the meth.

And I want to see that playlist.

- What do you think?
- I think I should go back to bed.

Come on,
you said you'd help me pack.

Can't you just throw everything
in a bag, Donna?

Okay. Don't you love these boots?

They're custom.
They took a mold of my foot.

Wow, cool.

I wish you were coming with us.

I told you, when the temperature
drops below 40, I hibernate.

Okay, but will you do me a favor?

Will you just keep an eye on David?
I'm worried about him.

He's a big boy,
I think he can take care of himself.

I know.

Maybe I should have invited him
to come skiing with us in Big Bear.

Why? He broke up with you
and he's being a real jerk.

Believe me, the best thing you can do
is just get out of town right now.

- Speak of the devil.
- David, is that you?

No, it's Saddam Hussein.

Do you want some breakfast?

Because I bought some muffins
for the drive. You can have one.

See, he didn't even say hello.

David.

Hi.

I don't wanna leave
with you mad at me.

Well, I'm not mad.

Well, there's still room in the van
if you wanna go.

Well, it's too little, too late.

Besides, I already told my dad
I'd watch Erin this weekend.

So have a good time.
And don't think about me.

That's a nice thing to say.

Well, my life and what goes on in it
really isn't your concern anymore.

Well, it is as long
as we're sharing an apartment.

Look, David,
I'm just worried about you.

Lately, you've been edgy and nasty
and you're driving Kelly nuts.

Well, maybe I wouldn't be in
such a bad mood all the time

if I had a girlfriend who was
capable of a mature relationship.

So this is all about sex.

Well, I'm sorry, David,
but there's more to life than sex.

And how would you know?

You know it just so happens
I will decide when I want to have sex.

And I won't be pressured by you
or anybody.

It's the same old song, Donna.
And it's getting really old.

Hey, I'm glad
you're not coming this weekend,

because I don't know
if I can stand the sight of you anymore.

All right, yum.

Here you go, honey.
I packed some snacks for your trip.

Mom, Big Bear is only
two and a half hours away.

Well, I didn't want you to get hungry.

Hey, any of those funky brownies
in here?

- Oh, did you want brownies?
- Steve, Steve, Steve.

I'm sure whatever my mother packed
will be just fine.

Hey, bad news. Andrea called.

She's not coming.

- Why?
- Well, she has the flu.

Oh, that is bad news.

She was looking forward
to getting away.

Yeah, well, I have no one
to ski with now, unless, of course...

Perish the thought, young lady.

I will not be attacking
the bunny hill with you.

Brandon, please.
Just do a few warm-up runs with me.

Nobody's gonna do any skiing
unless we get out of here.

That's right. Let's go.

- You guys about ready to hit the road?
- Yeah.

- Is Dylan gonna meet you up there?
- He's staying in town with his sister.

- Fred Segal hair shirt?
- Nineteen ninety-five, right?

Who could that be?
It's 6:45 in the morning.

- Hello?
- Would you hate me

if I didn't go skiing with you?

Yes. Especially since
we're staying at your parents' house.

I'll give you a key.

- Donna, what's wrong?
- David and I had a fight this morning.

- So, what else is new?
- No, it was major.

He was so awful, Brenda.

Donna, don't let David
ruin your vacation.

- Our vacation.
- Our vacation.

Look, we're packed
and we are ready to go.

So we'll be at your place
in 15 minutes.

I just don't want to be a downer.

Donna, I'm not gonna let you sit there
and feel sorry for yourself, okay?

Now come on, we'll have fun
and fun is the best revenge.

So we'll be right over, bye.

Bye.

- Good job, sis.
- Let's go.

Bye, guys, have fun.

- Don't forget the grapes.
- Grapes, grapes, grapes.

There you go.
Don't break too many limbs.

Drive safely.

See you.

Alone at last.

What do you say
we take in a movie this afternoon?

I'd love to,
but I've got a dozen reports to finish.

And I've got to call Dylan.
I really should meet with him today.

Why? What's going on?

I did some checking
on his new family.

Credit check, assets, that sort of thing.
You know what I found out?

- Is it bad?
- This is Dylan. You know the drill.

Dylan. This is Jim Walsh.

I'm gonna be around
most of the day,

so if you're in the neighborhood,
I think you should stop by.

I've got something
to talk to you about. It's important.

It looks cold.

That's why we have wetsuits.

- Well, the waves look kind of big.
- Are you kidding me?

These are what you call
ankle slappers.

All right?
They're perfect for a beginner.

We just ate breakfast, Dylan.

Don't you think we ought to wait
another 30 minutes?

Kid, I get the feeling
that you're stalling me.

- Are you stalling me?
- No.

- I love the ocean.
- Oh, you love the ocean?

When did you ever see
an ocean in Iowa?

I didn't,
but I read The Old Man and the Sea.

You read
The Old Man and the Sea?

One of my personal favorites.
I'm very impressed.

- Back for another lesson, McKay?
- Oh, Bear.

- How's it going, buddy?
- I got no complaints, man.

There's no rip
and there's nobody out there.

Including us.

Bear, I'd like you to meet
my little sister.

- Erica, this is my buddy, Bear.
- Hey, kid.

- I didn't know you had a sister.
- Yeah, neither did I.

Hey, I'll catch you out there.

But I'll keep her. Come on.

Mother, would you just calm down?

I'm saying that
when Mel has Erin for the weekend

you have to try to stay out of it.

No, I'm not taking his side.

Mom, I can't talk to you
when you get hysterical like this.

Yes, that's exactly what you are.
Hysterical.

Look, I'm hanging up now,

and when you're done screaming,
you can call me back.

Jackie is losing it.

Don't we have anything to eat
other than cereal?

She actually thinks that I'm a traitor

because I'm going babysitting
with you today.

- So don't come.
- I want to.

- It tastes like cardboard.
- David, don't throw that away.

Did you hear a word I said?

Yeah, Jackie's losing it.
Which is her problem, not mine.

Then what is your problem?

Donna's right.
You don't eat. You don't sleep.

You drag your ass around all day.

And when you're not complaining
or yelling, you're climbing the walls.

What's going on with you?

Well, Donna and I just broke up,
I just finished finals.

Mel and Jackie
are still at each other's throats.

And if that's not enough,
I've gotta work all night long.

David, are you doing drugs?

- What?
- You heard me.

I can't believe you.
Where do you get off accusing me?

I'm not accusing you.
And I'm not passing judgment on you.

I'm your sister
and I grew up with somebody

who had a real drug problem.

Well, I don't have a drug problem.

But if I did,
I would definitely come to you.

Listen, I'm fine, okay?

All I really need
is a couple nights of real sleep.

Come here.

I'm sorry.

Thanks. I needed that.

So, what do you say
we go pick up our favorite toddler?

Okay.

Okay, so the pressure of the wave
is pushing you forward.

You get on the front of the board,
do a pushup just like that.

Swing your right leg over the front
and you are up.

You are going, look at you,
you're a natural, it's a beautiful thing.

Thanks.

- So you ready to go for it?
- I can't.

Sure, you can.
I saw you, you were just doing great.

No, I can't.

You can't what?

I can't swim.

You can't swim.

Put the mirror into your mouth.
Let's look at your mouth.

Looks like the dentist is busy.

I'm glad you guys are here.
She's already pulled out six teeth.

No more teeth pulling.

- So where are you off to today?
- I think we're going to the park.

Sounds great. Thanks.

Oh, no problem.
We didn't have anything else to do.

But I do have an appointment
for about an hour after lunch.

Oh, great, now you tell me.

Oh, you'll be fine, David.
Erin will take good care of you.

- I'm sure she will.
- How's your mom, Kel?

- Loony.
- So, what else is new?

- Let's get out of here.
- Listen, you guys go ahead.

- I'm just gonna go to the bathroom.
- Okay.

Hi, looks like
you need some help.

Yeah, something's wrong
with my left boot.

I only made two runs
and I already have blisters.

Why don't you take it off?
I'll have a look.

I can't. I tried, but it hurts.

These boots are valuable.
We either take it off or we amputate.

I'll be slow and gentle.

Okay, I'll be fast and nimble.

No, no, no, wait,
it really hurts too much.

Relax. You can trust me.

I'm a world-renowned foot surgeon.

I'm just working in this place
to put myself through ski school.

Okay, on the count of three.

- Okay, one, two, three.
- One, two, three.

Wow, what a relief.

- Thank you.
- No problem.

I could put in some new padding,

but the glue
is gonna have to dry overnight.

Want me to rent you a pair
for the rest of the afternoon?

No, thanks. I think I'm just gonna
soak my tootsies and call it a day.

Well, can your tootsies wait?
I'm about due for my lunch break.

- We could get something to eat.
- Sure.

What seems to be the trouble,
Andrea?

I don't know, I just have no energy,
my stomach's been doing somersaults.

I feel like
I'm coming down with the flu.

Hop up on the table.

You know, I don't think it's colitis,

because the symptoms
are more gastric than intestinal.

But there's a slim chance
it could be pancreatic,

since there's diabetes in the family.

You wouldn't happen to be pre-med
by any chance, would you?

- Sorry.
- Well, it probably is just the flu.

Because everybody else
in your dorm has got it.

So we're gonna take some blood,
and you take some chicken soup.

Say "ah. "

- What?
- Oh, sorry. Since...

Since you're taking blood,
could I ask you to do me a favor?

Would you mind giving me
an AIDS test?

Have you been having unprotected sex
with high-risk partners?

No, they haven't been high risk...

Well, I mean,
I hope they haven't been high risk.

I've always been safe.

Almost always. L...

I think I would just
feel better knowing.

I understand.

You're gonna need to fill out this form,
it's to ensure your confidentiality.

We'll have results in 24 hours.

Come in though, because
I need to give them to you personally.

Thanks, I guess.

I mean, is everybody this nervous
when they do this?

Yeah. You probably have nothing
to worry about though.

So just go home,
get under the covers, get some rest.

And I'll see you tomorrow.

- It's cold.
- It is not cold.

It's gotta be 90 degrees in here.

Lesson one:
Putting your face in the water.

- I can't.
- Yes, you can.

I can't, my mom's tried to teach me
a million times.

I'm afraid of the water. I always was.

You can ask her
when she gets home.

I don't want to ask her.
I want to teach you how to swim.

Forget it, Dylan. I want to get out.

My stomach hurts.

Oh, so that's it? You're gonna
give up on it just like that?

What about
The Old Man and the Sea?

What about it?

Well, Santiago would never
accept defeat.

Santiago could swim.

He was in that boat
for three nights and three days,

doing battle with the galanos.

I'm not Santiago.

His right hand was cut and bleeding.

His left hand,
it was cramped up into a useless claw.

And still, he did not give up.

Okay. I'll do it.

- There, you happy?
- Yeah, very happy. Thank you.

See, you're a natural, I told you.

You've got the McKay blood
in your veins. Look at you.

Look what I made you,
it's a lamb.

It's a duckie.

- It's a lamb.
- A duck.

- It looks more like a duck.
- It's a lamb.

Where are you?

- What a pretty little girl.
- Thank you.

Why don't you come over
and give me a great big hug?

I'm sorry.

- Would you like a cookie?
- Oh, no, thank you.

Now just a minute,
I've got one right here.

No, that's okay.
We have to go wash her hands.

Come on, David. Come on.

David, didn't your mother ever teach
you not to take food from strangers?

I know.
I don't know what I was thinking.

- You can never be too careful.
- You're right, I'm sorry.

You know
while I'm busy apologizing,

I know I've been kind of out of whack
the past couple weeks.

Well, I don't know
how you put up with me.

Well, it hasn't been easy.

Yeah, well, it's all behind me now.
Promise.

Good.

Erin! Why is she always
running off like this?

Give us exercise.

Erin, hey, hey, hey.

I told you never run away from me
like that again, do you hear me?

Promise?

Okay, ice cream's on me.

David, you're not gonna
give her ice cream.

- Why not?
- Because that would be rewarding her.

She's never gonna learn anything
this way.

- Kelly.
- What, first the old lady, now this.

If you're gonna take care of her,
you have to start setting some limits.

Okay, fine. Let's not make
such a big deal about this.

Now, what do you want?
You want a cone or a Popsicle?

David.

Kelly, I'm her big brother.
I'm allowed to spoil her.

Fine, if you're such an expert,
you can take care of her yourself.

I'm going to my appointment.

- Kelly.
- What?

Fill her up on ice cream.
Let her do what she wants.

I'll be back in an hour.
Take care of your brother.

That's all right,
we don't need her anyway, do we?

- You didn't have to buy me lunch.
- I didn't, it's free.

One of the better perks of the job.

Along with free lift tickets,
a lifetime supply of ski wax,

and the chance
to meet girls like you.

Oh, so I'm not the first girl
you've taken to lunch?

Well, you're definitely
one of the cutest.

- Yeah, right.
- You are.

And you especially have cute feet.

Which is really important
when you're around boots all day.

That's good to know.

So you come up here a lot?
I don't think I've seen you before.

Not this season.

I usually do with my parents.
They have a house on the lake.

Right on the lake?

Let me guess.
The A-frame or the gray slate.

Gray slate.

Wow, that's the fanciest house
up here.

- It is not.
- It is to me.

But then again, I live in a shack
down in San Bernardino.

Hi. I'm glad one of us is warm.

- Bren.
- Oh, hot chocolate, fast.

I think I'm going to die, it's so cold.

Oh, Chad, this is my friend Brenda.
Brenda, this is Chad.

- Hi.
- Hi, nice to meet you.

Chad works here.
He's fixing my boots.

Well, thanks for bailing on me,
Donna.

I'm sorry. How were the slopes?

I wasn't exactly on the slope.
I was more on my butt.

Well, I told you to take a lesson.

You know, a buddy of mine
is one of the ski instructors.

We both have the day off tomorrow.

Maybe the four of us
could get together.

- That would be great.
- Great.

Listen, I gotta get back
to the salt mines.

- You gonna be around?
- Yeah, I'll be right by the fire.

- Good, I'll find you.
- Okay.

- Bye.
- Bye.

What's going on?

What's going on
is that I'm having a good time.

And you're right.
Fun is the best revenge.

David, where's Erin?

I don't know,
I must have dozed off for a minute.

Erin!

How could you do this?
You know she wanders off.

Erin!

Check the jungle gym.
I'll look on the swings.

All right.

- Erin!
- Erin!

Have you seen a little girl
wearing overalls and a purple sweater?

Okay.

Have you seen a little girl?

She wasn't there.

Oh, my God, David. She's gone.

Erin!

Erin.

- Erin.
- Erin.

How long did you say
you were sleeping?

I don't know. Twenty minutes?

I just don't understand
how a little girl

could have gotten so far
in such a short amount of time.

It may have been longer.
I don't know.

Actually, it doesn't take long
for a child to disappear.

It can happen in an instant.

If someone wants
to make her disappear.

You think somebody took her?

Let's go over what she was wearing.

Denim overalls,
and purple sweater with flowers on it?

- Yeah, that's it, right?
- Yeah, that's it.

Mel.

- What happened?
- She just wandered off.

They've been looking for her
everywhere.

It was my fault, Dad. I was supposed
to be watching her and I fell asleep.

You fell asleep?

David's very tired.
He hasn't slept in days.

And I shouldn't have
left her alone with him.

Excuse me.
Are you the child's father?

Yeah, I'm Mel Silver.
I brought the picture you asked for.

We've been trying to reach your wife.
When was the last time you spoke?

Not for weeks.

These days, my wife and I only
communicate through our lawyers.

I understand
there are custody issues here.

Yeah, there are.

Is it possible your ex-wife
may have taken the child?

Of course not.

Let me handle this, okay?

Jackie's been very upset lately.

I know she was furious
with the judge

when he denied her request
for sole custody.

Mel, she would never steal Erin.

Who spoke with Mrs. Silver last?

I did, I'm her daughter.
And I talked to her this morning.

Did she know
you were coming to the park today?

Yes, she did, but...

How would you describe
her frame of mind?

She was upset, but she wouldn't...

She would never do
anything like this.

It's very common
in situations like this

for children to be taken
by family members.

Especially when there are
custody disputes.

- How could she do this?
- Mel!

Would you stop blaming Jackie?
It wasn't her fault, it was mine.

If you want to hate somebody,
hate me.

No, David.
No, it wasn't your fault, okay?

And I don't wanna hear you
talk like this, do you hear me?

Right now,
what we should be focusing on is Erin.

Okay?

Hey, you guys. Did you see
a little girl in there about 12 years old?

- Yeah, and she's really upset.
- What's wrong?

We asked her,
but she wouldn't tell us.

- Is there anybody else in there?
- No.

Okay, thank you.

- Bye.
- Bye.

Hey, Erica, what's wrong?

Just go away.

If you're not gonna tell me,
how can I help you?

I don't want your help.

Are you sick? Erica, are you hurt?

No. Just go away.

Open the door, please.

Come on, open the door.

- What's going on here?
- That's what I'm trying to figure out.

Well, this is the women's locker room

and if you don't leave this instant,
I'm calling security.

Lady, you do whatever you gotta do.
I'm not leaving.

- Have it your way.
- Wait.

Please don't arrest him.
He's my brother.

Could we have
a moment alone, please?

Fine. The rest of us will just wait.

You wanna tell me what's wrong?

I'm too embarrassed.

Okay. Look, just close your eyes.

Take a big deep breath,
and blurt it out.

Whatever you tell me, it will be okay.

I got my period.

Oh, well...

I'm sure that you know what to do.

I don't. It's my first time.

I see.

I wish my mom was here.

So do I.

But I think I know
the next best thing.

Come on.

- Is she okay?
- She's fine.

She's better than fine, actually.

You know, this is a very big day
in a young girl's life.

Cindy, thank you very much.

I had no idea what to do.

- You know, she adores you.
- Yeah.

- Hi.
- Hi.

- Everything okay?
- Yeah.

I guess congratulations are in order
or something.

Thanks.

Do you think anybody could tell?

Can tell?

Come on, do I look different?

Oh, yeah, yeah, you do.
You look... You look taller.

Welcome to womanhood, Erica.

I hope this doesn't mean
I'm gonna go boy crazy.

Pace yourself.
You got plenty of time for boys.

Yeah.

This is a beautiful room.

This is Brenda's room.

Oh, here, I know she wouldn't mind.

- Sure?
- Of course.

I tell you what.
Why don't you stay for supper?

I know Jim wants to talk to you.

I thought you'd never ask.

I gotta hand it to you.

That fall you took
on the top of Widow's Peak.

I thought you were toast.

It's nothing compared
to the grace you showed

with that kamikaze off the chair lift.

Give me a break, my pole got stuck.

Donna, where you been all day?

She's been having
her feet massaged.

New boots will get you every time.

So you guys thinking about dinner?

Maybe head back to the house,
grab a shower.

I heard about this Italian restaurant
from one of my KEG brothers.

Well, that sounds great. Let's do it.

Actually, I'm not that hungry.

- I'm just gonna hang here for a while.
- Donna.

No, really. Go on, have fun.

Well, if we leave,
how are you gonna get back?

I'll catch a ride from somebody.

Okay.

Will you guys get the car
and I'll meet you out front?

Yeah, but hurry up,
because I'm starving, huh?

You'll "catch a ride with somebody"?

Maybe.

Look, Donna, you hardly know him.

Why don't you come to dinner,
get some sleep?

- You'll see him tomorrow.
- No, I wanna stay.

Fine, just don't do anything stupid.

Bren, I am not stupid.
Look, don't worry about me.

I will be fine.

- Okay.
- Okay.

I'm glad you came over, Dylan.

I didn't want to have to
deal with this on the phone.

What's up?

Dylan, what did Suzanne tell you
about her financial situation?

Pretty much
she was wiped out in the flood.

Well, unless Suzanne Steele's
definition of destitute

is a whole lot different than mine,

she hasn't been telling you
the truth, Dylan.

What are you talking about?

She has $25,000 sitting
in a bank account in Davenport, Iowa.

- I'm sorry.
- Don't be sorry, be sure.

It's her name,
it's her social security number.

Look, Dylan,
I don't know what game she's playing.

But she's got something
up her sleeve.

I mean, she shows up here,
out of the blue, claiming poverty.

She suckered you right in.

Dinner's ready.

And it smells really good.

We'll be right in.

Okay.

Maybe there's an explanation.

Dylan, just do me a favor.

Be careful.

Where is she? Where's my baby?

- Mom, calm down.
- I am not gonna calm down.

- Mel, what is going on?
- Where have you been?

I got here as soon as I heard.

- Mrs. Silver?
- Yes.

I'm Det. Miller.
I'm in charge of the investigation.

- Then find my little girl, please.
- We're doing everything we can.

When was the last time
you saw your daughter?

Friday night. Why?

And you have no idea
of her present whereabouts?

No.

Why are you asking me this?
You think I took her?

I don't believe this.
You should be ashamed of yourself.

Mom, we were all just really worried
and we didn't know where you were.

First Cabo, now this.

How can you even claim
to be a father?

I was the one watching her, Jackie.

- This is a nightmare.
- Mom, try to stay calm.

I will not stay calm!
My daughter is missing!

Where is she?
What are you doing standing here?

- Why don't you look for her, damn it?
- We've put out an APB.

And we've notified the news media.

They're our best weapon
in a situation like this.

Oh, Mel.

Does Erin have
any distinguishing birthmarks?

A mole maybe or a scar?

Yes. She's got a little birthmark
right here on her chest.

And she has a tiny scar, here.

Above her lip
from where she fell last summer.

And she has
the most beautiful blue eyes.

She's just like her sister.

Oh, Kelly, I want Erin back.

I know, Mama. So do I.

We're doing everything we can.

I would give up my life for that child.

You know that.

I'm sorry, Jackie.

It's not your fault, David.
It's not anybody's fault.

- Nice fire.
- You're nice.

Very nice.

You know,
it's a long drive down the mountain

to San Bernardino this time of night.

It sure is.

We could go to your place.

Or are your parents there?

- No, they're not there.
- Well, then, sounds like a plan.

Yeah.

I can't do it.

Well, what can you do?

Look, Chad. I like you, I really do.

But I have to be honest.

I'm in love with someone else.

How come he's not here?

We broke up.

And I thought I was over him,
but I guess I'm not.

Lucky guy.

He doesn't think so.

I could always drive down to L.A.
And give him a kick in the butt for you.

Thanks.

But I think I'm gonna have to
do that for myself.

I like being here with you.

It's just weird being with someone,
besides David, you know?

I sure wouldn't mind
seeing you again.

You know, if things don't work out
when you kick his butt.

Well, who knows?

Okay. You know where to find me.

Come on.

I think it's time I drove you back
to that big house on the lake.

You know, Chad, you're a nice guy.

There are still some of us left.

David,
would you please stop pacing?

I can't. This is all my fault.
I can't believe I did this.

David, they will find her.

Sit down, David.

Dr. And Mrs. Silver.

I think we may have found
your daughter.

- What?
- That was L.A.P.D.

They found a child
matching her description

at a house not far from the park.
They're gonna bring her right over.

Oh, thank God.

- What was she doing there?
- A housekeeper found her.

She didn't speak any English.
Plus, there was a question

about her immigration status.
She was afraid to call the police.

- Oh, God.
- Thank God.

- Erin!
- Erin!

Oh, thank God. Thank God!

- Oh, sweetie.
- Sweetheart, are you okay?

- Are you okay?
- Are you all right?

- We were so worried about you.
- Don't ever go away.

- Yes, we were.
- We missed you.

Oh, where did you go?
You mustn't run away.

Oh, Erin.

- Hi.
- Hi.

Thought you weren't coming back
until tomorrow.

Well, I caught an earlier flight.
I missed Erica.

- Is she still up?
- No, she had a big day.

She fell asleep early.

Thanks for watching her, Dylan.
I hope she wasn't too much trouble.

No, no trouble.

She's got some news
for you, though.

- What?
- I think I'll let her tell you tomorrow.

Okay.

Well, I've gotta crash.
I'm exhausted.

- How was Davenport?
- Oh, pretty bleak.

Well, people are still trying to,

you know,
put the pieces back together.

At least it snowed, though.
Everything's better in white.

When were you gonna tell me
about the 25 grand?

How the hell
did you know about that?

Jim Walsh found the account.

So you checked up on me after all.

I can't blame you.
I guess I'd do the same in your shoes.

Why didn't you tell me?

I didn't know
when it was gonna come through

or even if I was gonna get it at all.

That's the insurance settlement
on my trailer, Dylan.

The insurance company just wired it
into my account three days ago.

Well, we'll clear out of here
tomorrow morning.

I'm sorry we put you out.

Here. I found this
with my stuff back home.

I thought you might like to see it.

Wow, he looks young.

Do you want to know
the whole truth?

I've always told Erica
that Jack McKay was her father.

And I was seeing him at the time.

I was in love with him.

But those were wild days.

And there's no way that I can be sure
that Erica really is his daughter.

So if you're looking for guarantees,
there are none.

- Mom?
- Hi, sweetheart.

Oh, I missed you.

I don't need any guarantees.

I got a sister.

What a day.

One that I never want to relive.

- It was all my fault, Kel.
- David, stop blaming yourself.

We found her, she's fine.
It could've happened to anybody.

I don't think so.

What do you mean?

I didn't just fall asleep. I crashed.

- What?
- I started coming down, Kel.

I've been taking meth for days,
ever since finals.

I couldn't take it anymore

so I stole some codeine
from my dad's office.

I thought everything would be okay if I
got some sleep. But it hit me too hard.

Oh, my God, David.

Please, don't hate me, Kel.
I didn't mean for any of this to happen.

If Erin wouldn't have come back,
I don't know what I would've done.

David, I don't hate you.

I'm sorry.

I know.

I need you to help me, Kel. Please.

I will. I will.

I'm sorry I kept you waiting, Andrea.

That's okay.
I haven't been able to sleep all night.

I kept imagining such terrible things.

Waiting for the results of an HIV test
can play nasty tricks on your mind.

Well, there's no need to worry,
because you don't have AIDS.

In fact, you're perfectly healthy.

What a relief.

I feel so much better.
So it was just a 24-hour bug?

Actually,
more like a nine-month bug.

Excuse me?

Andrea, you're pregnant.
