Melrose Place (1992–1999): Season 5, Episode 28 - All Beths Are Off - full transcript

Amanda becomes Kyle's new silent partner to help him finance his dream of owning his own jazz club above his restaurant. Meanwhile, Jennifer becomes acquainted with some of the residents from Melrose which include Kyle and a very hostile Taylor when it's revealed that Jennifer was the young waitress from Boston that Kyle had an affair with years ago which almost broke up his marriage. Craig continues to romance Sydney who accepts his offer of pampering at a posh health spa in Palm Springs. Amanda blames Alison's mistake at work on her return to drinking and she and Billy try to convince an oblivious Jake about her problem. Jim keeps asking Samantha for more money, and Chelsea and Denise plot against Matt so that he will lose the coming courtroom fight for custody of Chelsea. Also, Taylor worries about Peter whose obsession with her as her sister is becoming more twisted.

Hey.

How you doing?

I have a broken rib and
a separated shoulder.

Yeah, that's good,
but not enough.

We need to work on numbness.

We want to sell
permanent nerve damage.

I'm going to insist they
keep you overnight,

run some tests.

Harry, I thought I'd
have a bump on the head,

maybe a couple of bruises.

I'm really hurt.



I told you, this is
a dangerous business.

But the rewards.

Say to the tune of $5 million.

$5 million?

Wow! Ha ha!

What happened?

Ow? Ow.

Oh, my God!

I... I'm, I'm numb.

I can't feel my hand.

Is there anything
we can get you?

Maybe we should get her a nurse.

Oh, no. I just need to sleep.

Oh, well.



Who is that guy?

I'll be right back.

I better call Sam, she's
probably wondering where I am.

Excuse me. Harry Dean, Ms.
Andrews' attorney.

Oh, yes. I believe I saw you

hanging off the fender
of the ambulance.

We'll be talking.

Come on, pick up. Where are you?

Hey, sweetheart, what
are you doing here?

You didn't get released,
did you, Daddy?

You escaped!

I thought that you
wanted to start over.

I thought you wanted to see me,

but it was all a lie.

And now, the police
are talking to me.

I am so sorry, honey.

I never meant to put you
in danger like this.

Well, whether you did or not,

the police have
linked you to me.

And if Billy finds out
you're a fugitive

he's gonna freak,
and I don't blame him.

And I don't blame him either.

But you gotta understand,

I had no place else to go.

I had to come here.

I know, but they know
that you're in L.A. now.

And enough people have seen
you here that I don't think

you have any choice
but to turn yourself in.

Yeah, I would,

but there are people in prison.

I made enemies.

I'm a marked man.

Hell, I made mistakes
and I deserve

to be punished, but
I don't deserve to die.

I can't go back there.

I just need some time.

And you've gotta help me.

Can't you find it in your heart

to help me?

♪ ♪

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

Damn it, you're my wife.

Yeah, but why does
that automatically mean

I should betray Peter?

Well, maybe he's had it
easier than me, you know?

The prep schools and the
country clubs and such.

Sorry, anything but hurt him.

Look, I won't let
your ambition destroy us.

All right, okay, forget it.

You're giving in?

Well, I mean, a happy
employee's a good employee.

No more planting memos
or spying on Peter?

No longer part of
your job description.

Of course, that doesn't
mean I'm not still after

the Chief Of Staff job.

Ah.

What? What does that mean?

You hate my ambition, right?

No, I love your ambition!

You know what you want.

Yeah.

And I know what I want now.

Oh, yeah? Yeah.

Well, you're gonna
have to catch me first.

Yeah, yeah?!

Whoops! Ahh!

Oh, my God!

Hi, Michael.

The door was unlocked,

and I had that airplane
smell all over me.

What are you doing here?

Didn't you get my letter?

What letter?

You look so great.

What's with the tattoos?

Who is she? Oh, I'm sorry.

Honey, I'm sorry, uh,

this is my kid sister, Jennifer.

Jennifer, this is...
This is my wife.

Oh, Kimberly. Hi.

Megan.

What happened to Kimberly?

Long story.

It is so nice to finally meet

one of Michael's relatives.

I was beginning to think
he was raised by wolves.

Oh, no, just some
really loud Italians.

Don't get me wrong,
I love my parents.

Especially when they're
several thousand miles away.

You know, I thought
about going back

to Jersey City
after I graduated.

You see, I was a liberal arts
major at Boston College,

and I finished up early because
I had some extra units,

but then I thought,
bad idea, you know?

I need some new horizons.

And I always said I was
gonna look you up in L.A.

You did?

Yeah, of course
you weren't listening.

I'll tell you what, I'll
go throw on some clothes

and make some coffee so we
could sit down and catch up.

You know,

L.A. doesn't seem so
overwhelming anymore.

Thanks. Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Little sister, um, how long
do you plan on staying?

As long as you'll
have me, I guess.

Is that okay?

Well, of course. You're family.

Aw.

When did you get
home last night?

About 2:00.

Sydney took a tumble
down a staircase at D&D.

Really?

Yeah, it's this
ridiculous spiral staircase.

I've almost fallen
down it myself.

You should've heard her
when she hit the bottom,

like a sack of potatoes.

Is she gonna be all right?

Well, eventually.

I called you from the
hospital, where were you?

I... I, um...

Where's your dad?

Well, he moved out.

What?

Are you serious?

Yeah, an old friend
of his hired him

on a construction crew
back in Chicago,

so I dropped him off at the
bus station late last night.

But I thought the whole
reason he came here

was to make up
for lost time with you.

Well, he's gone, okay?

Yeah. So, no more dad problems.

You're worried
about him, aren't you?

A little, yeah.

Thanks for putting up
with him, though.

Oh, before I forget,
Jake and Alison

are having a
reception at Shooters,

and they wanted us to come.

Okay.

But now that we're alone,

I really would like to make
up for some lost time.

You know, 'cause I miss... I
miss you, I miss kissing you.

I miss holding you,
I miss everything.

It's gonna be okay.

We just got served.

A summons from
Sydney's attorney.

They're going after
us, $5 million.

They're probably not gonna get
near that much, but, um...

Calm down. That's why
we have insurance.

Insurance. Right.

Is there a problem?

Oh, it's probably no big deal,

but our insurance company
did a review last year

and stipulated a few exclusions,

areas deemed unsafe,
pending repairs,

like the staircase.

And you took care of it?

I had every intention to,

but with the distraction
of my father's death, I...

Craig, this reaches new
heights of incompetence.

How the hell am I supposed
to do my job

when I am constantly
forced to babysit you?

This is a multi-million
dollar corporation,

not a preschool.
This was your responsibility.

Take it easy, all right?
I'll figure something out.

Well, you better.

Call the insurance company,
call our lawyers.

I don't care what you do.

This is your mess, you fix it.

Hey, excuse me!

Pardon me! Quiet down, eh?

Hey, hey, hey!

I wanna propose a toast

to the bride and groom
over there,

Alison and Jake.

May you guys grow closer

and more in love
with each passing day.

All right! Here here!

Hey, why are you so glum?

Hey.

Yeah. Last time we saw you,

you had family moving in.

Yeah, well, Chelsea's
mom showed up,

and wants to take her
with her back to Paris.

Chelsea wants to go,
so what can I do?

I thought you inherited
her or something.

Yeah, well, um,
my brother made me

her legal guardian in his will,

but that doesn't seem to
mean much to anybody,

except my brother.

And you.

Yeah, well, Chelsea can
be pretty stubborn.

Just be sure before
you give her up for good,

it's what you want.

Look at this view.

Yeah, it is pretty nice.

So?

Where'd you get those tattoos?

Oh, what can I say?

I dated a biker once,
for a week.

But I think they're kinda cool.
Don't you?

Yeah.

Wow.

I sure wouldn't mind your life.

A solid guy who
makes a killer living,

a house at the beach.

And believe me,
Michael's no bargain,

but he's got that ambition
thing going for him.

You know, that drive.

That's the difference
between him and me.

You know, giving his
all to his work

at the expense of his family.

It's like he doesn't
care about any of us.

Oh, maybe it's my fault.

I've always been such a
disappointment to him.

I'd love to land
a really great job

and make him
proud of me for once.

So, anything look good?

Well, sure, but...

I don't even have a resume

or a computer.

I have a computer at the office.

Oh, perfect.

Just what Michael needs,
me hanging out

at his house and his office.

Yeah, but you can come by when
Michael's at the hospital.

Mm, I'm a lousy typist.

And you'd have to show me
how to format it and print.

It would take forever.

Who am I kidding?
I'm not even qualified

to do my own resume.

Well...

I mean, I could...
I could do it for you.

Oh, no way.

Michael would think I'm
taking advantage of you.

Michael doesn't have to know.

Oh, thank God that's all
over and done with.

Hey.

You found my
secret hiding place.

Hey, we're married.
No more secrets, pal.

Are you saving this
for a special occasion?

Yeah.

What occasion is more
special than this?

Yeah, well, I think I've had
a little too much to drink,

and you don't drink.

I'm a big girl.

I haven't had one drop tonight.

Yeah, but?

I can handle it.

Hey...

Aah!

Oh, man, did a
herd of rhinoceroses

come stampeding through here?

Thank you.

Aren't you gonna have any?

No. No, I'm fine.

I didn't have as much
to drink as you did.

Ha.

Hi. You must be Alison.

I'm sorry. Have we met?

No, of course you
don't know who I am.

I'm Colleen, I'm a
friend of Jake's.

My son David is...

I'm the mother of Jake's son.

Is... is Jake here?

Colleen?

Hi.

Hey. What are you doing here?

Hey, David's okay?

Oh, everything's fine.

I'm really sorry
I didn't call first.

I'm here on business

and I was in the neighborhood

and kinda decided
to be impulsive.

Oh, well, you're talking
to the king of impulsive.

I'm... I am the schmo that knocked
over your fence, aren't I?

Yes, and you fixed it,

and now it's better than ever.

Yeah, well, Jake's
a regular Mr. Fix-it.

I guess that makes me
Mrs. Fix-it.

You got married?

Yeah, just last week.

Well, congratulations.

Thank you. Thank you.

So, um, how long
are you in town?

Oh, just a couple days.

I'm on a real hectic schedule.

Well, long enough for us
to take you out to dinner.

I mean, I owe you.

I did tell you about
the great meal

that Colleen threw
together, didn't I?

No. No, you didn't.

How about tonight?

Yeah, that'd be great.

We're free, aren't we?

Yeah.

Well, great. This'll be fun.

Yeah, fun.

Do you have a lot to do today?

No, no, not much. I gotta go.

But you hardly
touched your pancakes.

They're Beth's secret recipe.

I even heated the syrup
exactly the way that she did.

Peter, what's wrong?

What are you thinking?

I'm thinking about how when I
was married to your sister,

when she was still healthy,

that's the last time I
felt happy and complete.

And you actually think
that a stack of pancakes

Thanks.

What is this?

It's a court order
prohibiting you

from taking Chelsea
out of the state.

Why are you doing this?

Because we have been
through a lot together,

and I really care about you.

Yeah, right.

Look, hear me out on this.

It would be so easy for me

to be one of those
uncles that you see

a few times a year at
birthdays and holidays.

But I want to
put my life on hold

and help you grow up.

You're only doing this
because your brother

had a problem with me.

Let me ask you something.

If I was such a
tragically unfit mother,

why would I be here
now for Chelsea?

Today, you're here today.

What about all the years
that you were over in Europe

and you never wanted
anything to do with her?

I never stopped
loving my daughter.

I can not believe
you're doing this.

Does it not matter
to you what I want?

Chelsea, I am sorry.

I just don't think that you see
the bigger picture right now.

Denise, you're gonna
miss your flight.

Guess what? Change of plans.

I'm staying.

I love my daughter,

and nobody is gonna
take her away from me.

You know what?
I love her, too, Denise.

And I'm not gonna let her
go without a fight.

Can you just stop it?

Just stop fighting, okay?

I can't stand this.

kill her with kindness.

I've got chills,

This is Sydney

Cash is the only thing

Okay, Romeo, you do your thing.

But you have one week.

After that, I go straight

Shut it out.

No. No.

I want to be alone with my wife.

Now if that makes me a monster,

then I'm a monster.

Okay, Michael, just
keep pushing her away

like you do the rest
of your family.

Who told you that?

Jennifer and I had a
little talk this afternoon.

Oh, while she took a break
from her busy day of loafing?

I was helping her
work on her resume.

Helping her or doing it for her?

I told her if it was
slow at the office

I would play around
with it on the computer.

It was my idea. Oh, no, no.

She only made you
think it was your idea.

That way, while you're typing,

she can go catch some rays.

Look, I know my sister, okay?

And for the record,

I didn't push away
my family, okay?

It was just the opposite.

When my pop had a heart attack,

I dropped out of med
school for a semester

so I could pitch in
at the bakery.

I almost flunked out,
but that's okay,

because it was for
the family business.

And then, when I finally
set myself up

in private practice, did
anybody from my family

call to congratulate me?

No. It never happened.

The only call I ever got
was from my Aunt Rose.

And that was because she
wanted to borrow 10 grand.

Look, I'm sorry,
I didn't realize.

And as far as Jennifer goes,

I'll find her a job.

I'll ask a favor from a friend,

whatever it takes to take care

of my family, which
supposedly I never do.

Good night.

Uh, hi, it's Amanda.

Hey. You miss me already?

Not really.

Um, listen. I recently signed

the Museum of Contemporary
Art as clients,

and they invited me to see

the "Uncommon Sense"
exhibit tomorrow night.

I know this is short notice,

but you do appreciate art,

and I thought you'd
like to join me.

It's at 8:00, it's black tie,

and just be clear,
this is not a date.

It's just a night out
with a friend.

Something like that.

See you then.

Billy, why did you buy
all of these groceries?

Well, I was at the supermarket.

Well, maybe I didn't
want you to.

Did you ever think about that?

Where is that coming from?

I don't know.

I just hate it that
I can't pitch in.

Yeah, that's great, except
that I don't have anything.

It's temporary.

Didn't Michael tell you?

Well, he said you needed a job,

and I owe him one.

He told me you owe
him more than one.

Uh, no, just the one, actually.

Well, you know Michael.

He likes to bend the truth.

But, you probably do too,
being in advertising.

We walk a fine line.

Right. Truth with a little "t,"

as opposed to the actual truth,

which is with a big "T."

Am I getting too philosophical?

I don't want to lose you.

Well, considering your resume

barely qualifies for
entry level, I doubt it.

So, what kind of
advertising do you like?

I know what I don't like.

That billboard on Wilshire
with the busty bimbo

shilling the thin set diet plan.

No normal woman's
ever gonna respond

to a cheesy ad like that.

That was my ad campaign.

I'm so embarrassed.

Yeah.

Oh, gee, Michael said you were
gonna take me out to lunch.

I'm far too busy to take lunch.

That's busy with a capital "B."

Not. But so that this wasn't
a total waste of time,

here's a tip. You're
gonna have a tough time

finding a job
with your attitude.

Hm.

Didn't stop you any.

I really appreciate
all you've done.

things straightened out.

out of milk and stuff,

so I guess she's at the store.

How was your interview
with Amanda?

A total bust. I get there,

and there's no job to speak of,

and even if there was, Amanda
told me she has this new policy

to never hire
friends or relatives,

or relatives of friends,
so that's that.

Wait a minute, you know, she said
she was gonna give you a shot.

Uh, Michael, Michael, Michael.

Listen, are you sure that
she knew who you were?

Things are gonna get
better, I promise.

Come on.

Does this mean that
you and your husband

are on rocky ground?

Well, you know...
Or maybe you don't know.

Marriages go through
these times,

and you just ride them out.

Here's to riding it out.

It's David I'm worried about.

With Robert being gone so much,

he doesn't get to spend
much time with his father.

I think it's real important
for a boy his age.

I try to be there for
him, but it's not the same.

I talked to Robert about it,

and he's so stressed at work,

and we just... we just
end up fighting, and...

Hey.

David's gonna be fine.
He's a good kid.

That's why I brought this up.

Do you mind if he
calls sometime?

Just if something's
wrong at school,

or something, you know?

Sure. Sure, no problem. Anytime.

Thanks. He needs a
man to talk to,

someone he's connected to.

Well, actually, I represent

little bit jealous.

it's all about,

not cooking, not what I do.

Oh, cooking can be an art form.

No. The restaurant business

is about serving
people what they want.

That's not art.

that's artistic.

Small "a," really small "a."

But still, it puts it in
perspective, I like that.

Yeah. I had some
young kid in today

for a job interview,

some cheeky neophyte,
fresh out of college.

And she took it upon herself

to slam the entire
advertising industry.

The worst part was that
in a way, she was right.

You know, I wanted
to major in art.

Ah! But it wasn't practical,

so I majored in business,

and minored in art.

I went through this
bohemian stage,

where I considered
forgetting about money,

and I just wanted to
travel and paint.

That was my dream.

What changed?

Poverty sucks.

Ah, I love that tune.

Come on. Let's dance.

So what about you?
What's your dream?

Ah, well, I used
to have this dream

about opening up a jazz club.

Pretty dumb, huh? No.

No, I could really
see you doing that.

Yeah?

I tell ya, as much
as I love art,

I am much more of a music guy.

Well, why didn't you do it?

Got by me, I guess.

Oh, our dreams
don't go anywhere.

We just forget about them.

Amanda? Excuse me,
but the publisher

from Art Forum is here
to see you.

Okay, I'll be right there.

Great.

I... I really should
get over there.

Yeah.

Hey.

Colleen called. David had
a rough day at school,

and wants to talk to you.

Really? I better call him.

Yeah. Better hurry.

I wouldn't wanna waste any time.

What's that supposed to mean?

Nothing.

Are you still upset
about dinner last night?

What do you think?

I think it was painful
that the subject

came up, and I
wish that it hadn't.

Which subject? My miscarriage,

or Colleen's impending divorce?

She didn't say anything
about getting divorced.

She certainly planted the seeds.

You're wrong about her.

I don't think so, Jake.

She was hanging
on your every word.

She kept staring at you.

Oh, come on.

Colleen and I are friends.

What's this really about?

Nothing. Hey, hey, hey.

I am your husband.

And she is the mother
of your child.

And what does that
have to do with us?

I love you.

I lost your child, Jake.

I can never give
you another one.

Alison? How many times
do I have to tell you?

It doesn't matter. I love you.

Tsk, tsk, tsk.

Mm, Peter, I told you,
no fooling around

There's a time and a

I can't help it, Beth.
You're beautiful.

Now go, go, go.

There you go.

Kyle, got a minute?

No. But, what the hell.

Hm?

About your dream of
opening a jazz club?

Yeah?

I'd like to help you
make it come true.

Yeah, right, and what's
in it for you?

Well, I have a little
extra cash to invest.

So, you're serious.

Well, having Sydney
and her legal piranha

an inch from your jugular
tends to do that to a person.

Ah, so you're looking for a
place to hide your assets.

Well, I appreciate your
thinking about me,

but partners?

I'm just getting away
from that with Taylor.

Well, I mean, unfortunately,

you were romantically
involved with her.

Fortunately, we're not.

You sure about that?

I'm sure about my
investment strategies,

and for some reason,
I trust you.

Well, what if I don't trust you?

I think you do.

It's a tempting proposition.

Well, consider this a brief
window of opportunity.

You can call me, come by,

I'll leave my door open.

But not for long.

What are you doing here?
I don't think

I accidentally
hit my speed dial.

I thought you could
use some company.

Here, let me, uh, get
this in your freezer.

I've got ice cream and pizza.

I rented Dark Victory.

It's that Bette Davis flick

where she thinks
she's gonna die,

and unexpectedly falls in love

with the man that
takes care of her.

And then dies at the end.

Oh, you have seen it.

Of course, you'll get better.

Why don't you lay down and
I'll put this in the VCR?

Look, I know what
you're trying to do.

You're trying to butter me
up so I'll drop the lawsuit.

No. I'm a concerned neighbor.

Now, come on, please,
let... let me help you.

No, it's okay. Just let me...

Ow, oh...

Are you okay?

It hurts sometimes.

I am sorry this happened.

You know, with everything
that's happened,

no one's said that to me.

Well, I... I am sorry.

And I do care.

And you're just gonna
have to let me.
