I'm Glenn Collins. I'm the new associate rector. Henry and I found the body.

It's probably best to let it go.

I had my weak moments.

I've sinned. Sinned recently?

We think it's important that we get you some help. Somebody to talk to. A

psychologist. Where's Henry?

It doesn't matter where Henry is. He's not going to be a problem to us anymore.

Is it possible that Henry manipulated you? That he lied about your mother

to seduce him?

I shouldn't be doing this.

Hi, come on in.

Damn, I finally did my drug homework and I forgot it.

How did I do it?

What's wrong, Lily?

Nothing.

I just miss Henry.

He hasn't come back yet?

It's been a week now.

Lily, I'm sorry you're bummed, but I have to go mount an offensive in this

Everson or I'm going to flunk the train.

Good luck.

Until the other night, I hadn't had sex for two years.

Since you joined the ministry?

Since I got married.

You're married?

My wife is flying in from Cedar Springs today. She was staying in Iowa until we

sold the house.

never told me you were married. I know. I think because unconsciously I knew you

were trying to seduce me and unconsciously I think I wanted to be

My wife is very fragile.

I feel terrible.

I mean, I do love her.

He's coming in today?

I'll do it one more time before she gets here.

Oh, my God.

Catherine. Oh, my God.

It's my husband.

Hi, darling.

You're home. I wasn't expecting you.

I took an earlier plane.

What's going on?

Honey, this is Glenn Collins.

Nice to meet you.

Your wife has told me so much about you.

Glenn is with Holy Shepherd. He's the new, whatever, minister.

Associate rector of pastoral care.

Ah, yeah.

Straight from Iowa.

My wife is also from Iowa.

She's arriving this afternoon. Actually, I should go.

You should head on down to the airport before the traffic gets too bad. Oh,

yeah, you don't want to get caught in there.

Well, thank you for coming, Reverend.

Yeah, I hope to see you at church, both of you.

I can let myself out.

Bye.

That was your trip.

I think that Lily has really turned a corner. I'm not saying that she's

or even pleasant, but she's not giving me those hateful looks anymore.

Well, that's a step in the right direction.

I think Dr. Darwell is really putting everything into perspective for her.

It's pretty obvious to everyone that Henry ran away because he was ashamed.

Catherine, yesterday afternoon when I came home, what was going on?

I'm just going to keep killing her with kindness. That's all I can do.

I asked you a question.

I'm sorry, what?

Yesterday afternoon, you and that minister.

Honey, I told you. He wanted a major donation out of us. I almost spent a

fortune trying to get rid of him. Thank God you came home when you did.

It just seemed odd.

Tense. Honey, it was.

He wanted money.

And I told him that you and I make a very generous offering every Christmas.

We're not going to start tithing 10 % of our income.

We're not zealous, for God's sake.

How are you feeling this morning?

I'm okay.

Good. I'm glad.

Me? I'm great. Thanks for asking.

Ellie, I brought you something from New York.

What is it?

Open it.

It's from Tiffany's. If you don't like it, we can take it back.

No, no. I like it.

It was your mother's idea.

Dad, did you get me anything from New York?

Maybe next time.

All right.

Do I get a new computer for my birthday?

Or do I have to accuse you guys of murder?

Mason, shut up.

Hello, Robert Greeley's office.

Hello.

Hello. You've got the wrong line.

Yeah.

Hi, Robert Greeley's office.

May I ask who's calling?

Jack Cameron.

Jack,

hey, how are you?

Oh, God, you kill me.

You what?

You're kidding.

I had no idea. No, Jack, I swear I had no idea. My assistant never even told

Well, yeah, you know, he's new, and I really apologize. Listen, can we

reschedule?

Oh, yeah?

Oh, well, hey, have a great trip.

Yeah, and again, Jack, I'm sorry.

Okay, bye.

I had a lunch with Jack Cameron, and you didn't tell me?

Oh, man.

But yesterday they called and you were in your office with Emily and then I

spaced it.

You are.

You spaced it.

Jack Cameron is the chairman of the board.

And now he's going to Maui for three weeks.

I'm sorry, Robert. You know, my brother is still not back yet and I'm having

trouble concentrating.

Hey, sweetie.

How are you? Fine.

Want to take a walk?

Come on.

Robert's in love.

Really? Tom says he follows her around like a puppy dog.

Buys her presents.

They go into his office and lock the door and disappear for hours.

What's her name?

Emily. I think it's great.

It's about time Robert found his soulmate.

Oh, please.

Let's not get ahead of ourselves.

I just hope she kills the bug that blew up his butt.

Tom says Robert's a real bully at work.

He's always yelling and melting down over the littlest thing.

You know, I didn't realize it, but Robert's anal.

So what else does Tom have to say?

About what?

Does Henry come back?

No. Tom's really depressed about it.

Really? He has no idea where he went?

You know what?

I have to go.

I thought we were going shopping. I have so much to do today. Call me. Maybe

tomorrow.

This is sophomore English.

Oh, yeah?

You're a senior.

Well, I just saw you in here, and I wanted to say hi.

Hi.

Hi.

The other thing, I was wondering what you're doing tomorrow night.

Um, we have family dinners on Friday night.

Why? Well, I just think you're cool.

And I know it's a little awkward because my dad's your psychologist, but I

wanted to take you out.

On a date.

Whatever that means.

I have a boyfriend.

You do?

Who? Henry Bellow.

The guy who got expelled?

Well, where does he go now?

Nowhere.

Actually, I don't even know where he is.

You're dating a guy and you don't know where he is?

Only guess another subject you don't feel like talking about.

Even if I didn't have a boyfriend, you wouldn't want to date me right now.

I'm not that much fun.

Well, I am.

Maybe a little fun is what you need right now.

Anyway, it was just a thought.

Have a good one.

That was cool today.

Lily, you want to come in?

Be back in an hour.

It does.

It looks so pretty.

Glenn?

Mrs. McAllister.

Hello. Oh, Mrs. McAllister, so formal.

Can I talk to you alone?

I'd like you to meet my wife, Rachel.

Hi there. Nice to meet you.

This is your wife.

Wow, what a lovely outfit.

How do you all know each other?

Well, Catherine is a parishioner and her family attends.

It's a beautiful church.

Well, this whole city is just lovely. Rachel just got into town.

Oh.

Well, I should be going.

Welcome to Pasadena. I hope you like it.

I know I will.

My parents are falling all over each other, trying to be nice to me.

I don't know if I just lost the energy to fight or... Or what?

I don't know.

Maybe... I don't know.

You don't know what?

I don't know. I don't know, okay? I don't know anything. That's the thing.

He was just so persistent.

Henry.

It wasn't natural how persistent he was.

He kept pushing it right from the beginning.

And to him, everything was a lie, everything that they said.

And I wish this naive princess who took anything for face value.

But I trusted him.

Because I thought he cared about me.

But now... You don't know.

I don't know. I mean, if he cares so much about me, then where is he?

Something smells really bad in my room.

Listen, I've been telling you that for years.

No, Mom, like, really bad.

I think the other night I dropped some halibut behind my desk and it's starting

to reek.

You had a halibut in your bedroom?

Yeah, well, Mama had the minister over for dinner, so I ate in my room.

I'll get it.

What minister?

The one from Holy Shepherd.

When was this?

While you were in New York.

Why?

Jenny, what's wrong?

I just got a call from my mother in Berlin.

My dad didn't come home from the embassy and they think he's been kidnapped.

By who?

By gorillas.

Gorillas?

I'm so sorry.

He's gonna be okay.

No, he's not.

They probably chopped his head off or shot him.

Execution style.

And it's all my fault. No, it isn't. Yes, it is, because I wished for this.

What do you mean?

Because I was jealous of you.

Because everything exciting happens to you.

First you find a body, then your boyfriend mysteriously disappears.

Just the other day I was thinking I just wanted something exciting to happen to

me, even if it was bad.

And now this. My father's somewhere in a jungle with his head on a spike.

Jenny, he's not dead, okay? He's fine.

Can I stay here tonight?

Totally.

You want excitement and all I want is my old boring life back.

He had dinner over at the house?

It wasn't a fault, Will.

The church has a huge overhead.

And we've always been walking targets for money grabbers who know that.

I don't believe you. When I came through that door, you had such a guilty look

on your face.

What are you accusing me of?

Lying.

Are you lying?

Yeah.

You're lying? Yeah.

He wasn't here canvassing? No.

I'm seeing him.

He's the rector of pastoral care.

And I just felt the need to find somebody to open up to.

You mean he's like your therapist?

You've always said all the problems in our marriage started with me. That I'm

cold and I'm distant.

I just thought if I could talk to somebody, maybe I could change.

Why did you lie to me?

To admit that I was seeking help is like admitting that I have a problem.

You know, that whole perfection thing. I'm sorry.

Was he helpful?

Amazingly helpful.

Are you mad?

No.

I'm not mad.

I love you, Will.

Our marriage means everything to me.

I'm glad to hear you say that.

Morning.

Hi.

How are you holding up, Jenny?

I'm okay.

That bacon smells good.

So good.

Was that the last piece?

No, no, you can have this one.

You want to take it home?

No, take it.

It's right here at the place. Well, Jenny, you can have it.

Okay. Thanks.

Love that bacon, huh?

Yeah, I love bacon.

Mr. McAllister.

Yeah. Thank you for letting me spend the night.

Of course.

Mom? Hmm?

Jenny's pretty upset about her dad and everything and her mom's unbelief.

Do you think it's okay if she stayed over until everything got cleared up?

Sure.

Jenny can stay as long as she likes.

Thanks.

Lily?

Yeah?

I feel like we're healing.

Do you feel like that?

Um, I better get ready for school.

Tom, what are you reading?

I found this folder in my brother's things.

It's newspaper articles about your family.

Oh, God, whatever.

Well, that stuff doesn't bother you?

No, I said it. Your family is accused of corrupting city politics, of crushing

unions.

You can't believe everything you read.

Well, there's even insinuations of murder. You know, Meredith Weller.

It's everything Henry was telling me about, but I never listened to.

Tom, these are articles from some crackpot alternative weekly.

They want to sell papers so they make up scandals. That's all there is to it?

You think this stuff is true?

I don't know, but I think it's odd that you dismiss it so easily.

All my life, I've had to deal with garbage like this. So now I just don't.

ignore it.

So is that a healthy attitude, or are you just living in denial?

I had a feeling this might happen.

If working for my brother is going to sour you on my family, then you should

just quit.

Don't start harboring a grudge just because Robert's a mean boss.

This isn't about Robert.

It's about Henry.

He made accusations against your family, and now he's missing. Tom, he ran away.

I don't know that for sure.

Henry ran away because he got kicked out of school, and the two of you were

always fighting.

He didn't run away because of my family.

He ran away because of you.

I'm sorry. I didn't mean it like that.

Tom.

Tom.

Tom.

Have you seen Tom?

Robert.

What? What is it? I can't deal with this Tom guy. Can I fire him? No, no. You

have to keep your eye on him.

What are you doing here?

I just couldn't wait another minute. I had to meet her.

Who? Your new girlfriend.

Who? That says your head over heels.

Emily's working.

Oh.

Okay. Just don't be weird.

Robert, would I ever be weird?

Right.

Hey, Emily.

This is my sister, Catherine.

Oh, hi. Hello.

So good to finally meet you. I've heard so much about you. You too.

Everyone's talking about how Robert's just smitten with you.

I can see why you're adorable.

Oh, well, thanks.

Well, I just came by to say hi and welcome you to the family.

Oh, my God, Robert.

Family dinner. You have to invite Emily.

Sure. Our parents are away. They're in, um... I don't know.

San Maris. That's where they are.

So it'll be casual, just the kids.

That'd be great.

Oh, good.

You know, I feel like I've known you for years.

Yeah. Do you feel that way?

Yeah, definitely.

Well, I'll leave you two alone.

Oh, Robert.

I'm so happy for you.

Now, you come to dinner, you promise?

I promise.

Great.

See ya. Bye.

Robert, you never told me. how nice your sister was.

I just keep thinking that my father could be being tortured.

I mean, right now, this very minute, some gorilla could be whacking him with

bamboo cane.

I'm totally freaked out about all of it.

Hey, Charlie.

Hey, Lily.

Um, I was thinking about your offer, and I changed my mind.

You did?

I... I want to go out with you tonight, if you still want to go.

Sure.

But what about your boyfriend?

I kind of want to take my mind off of him for a little while.

I could help you do that.

Okay, so I'll pick you up at your house, 8 o 'clock?

Okay. Okay.

I know this cool diner in South Pass.

We could check out a movie, too, if you want. Okay.

Okay. So I'll see you tonight.

Well, actually, I'll probably run into you in the hall.

Actually, I'll probably see you in the cafeteria for lunch.

Anyway.

Finally.

Glenn, I'm Will McAllister. We met the other day.

Yes, I remember.

Could I speak with you for a moment?

Would you excuse me for a minute?

What can I do for you?

Glenn, I know why you were at the house the other day.

You do?

Catherine told me.

Our marriage may be flawed, but we are honest with each other.

I don't know what to say.

I don't want you to say anything.

I just want to say thank you.

Catherine is a complicated woman, and if in order to get what she needs, she has

to go to someone other than me, that's okay.

You know, it took a lot of courage for her to come to you.

It's not like her at all.

It's not like me at all, I assure you.

I thought this was your specialty.

No.

Are you kidding? No.

Well, she thinks you're amazing.

But she couldn't say enough great things about you.

This is very awkward for me.

Look, I'm not here to pry details out of you. I just...

I had an idea, and I wanted to run it by you before I talked to Catherine about

it.

Do you think you could help me as well?

Me and Catherine.

Together.

At the same time.

You see, I just think it would really help our marriage if we could come to

as a couple.

And then, if all goes well down the road, our daughter could join us too.

Holy Shepherd today.

I asked Glenn if I could start seeing him, too.

You what?

I'm going to start meeting with him to discuss my problems.

Communicating, intimacy, things like that.

He's young, but I think he's very sharp.

I don't think that's a good idea. That's a conflict of interest or something,

isn't it?

Do you know what I really think we should do?

We should see him together as a couple.

Well, um, no.

I knew you'd say that, but I really think couples therapy is what we need.

And Glenn agrees with me. He does?

Yeah, if we're going to finally stop putting up front and lay our cards down

the table, we've got to do it face to face. We can't do it behind each other's

backs. Yeah, but I'm not comfortable with that. Maybe someday, but not now.

now, now. We need to do this now.

I knew you'd be resistant, so I invited Glenn and his wife over for dinner

tonight.

You what?

If I can't convince you, maybe he can. I really want the three of us to discuss

this. At family dinner?

We'll find the appropriate time.

Please, this is important to me. I'm really excited about this.

Just humor me. And if after talking to him you still don't want to do it,

okay. I just want us to explore the idea.

That's all I ask.

Okay?

The table looks great.

My mom's unraveling. She's totally doped up on Percocet and making no sense.

I have no idea what's even going on with my dad.

I'm so sorry.

I just wish I was going on the date.

It's not a date.

What's wrong with calling it a date?

Because I feel guilty.

Why, Lily?

Henry's AWOL. He hasn't even called you.

What are you supposed to do? Wait for the rest of your life by the phone?

It's stupid.

Did you hear that? What was that?

Hi. Mason, get out of here.

Ew, what's he doing?

He's spying on you. He's a total perv. Get out! Get out, now!

God! Give me my head!

Oh my God, Charlie's here.

Have fun.

Okay.

Did Lily just leave?

Yeah, she's on a date with an older man.

He's a senior.

Oh, don't worry. Lily's a prude, Mr.

McAllister.

So, Jenny, have you, uh...

Did you hear anything about your father?

No.

Well, something tells me that it's going to turn out fine.

I'm just worried.

Thanks for letting me stay here.

I kind of feel like you guys are my second family.

So when I'm here, I don't feel so alone.

You can stay as long as you like.

Hey,

I kind of noticed you guys are a little formal.

I hope you don't mind that I walk around in my underwear, do you?

No.

So, Jenny,

you're not going out tonight?

No, I really have to catch up on my homework. I have this huge report for

biology.

Mr. McAllister, can you contract syphilis orally?

You know, I'm not sure.

I'll just go look it up on the internet.

Tom, we're supposed to be there in 15 minutes and you're not even dressed. Get

in the shower, honey. I'm not going.

But I already told Catherine.

You can go. I just don't feel like it. But it's a family tradition.

I'm not interested in your family's traditions.

I know you're upset about Henry and you have every right to be, but don't take

it out on me.

We've done nothing but try to help you. We got you into CU. We got you a job.

That doesn't mean you own me.

I'm not saying that we own you.

If you don't want to go tonight, fine, don't go.

But if you don't ever want to go, then we have a problem.

Because I love my family.

For better or worse, they're always going to be a part of my life.

I just feel like taking it easy tonight.

Okay.

See you later then.

Hi. Hi.

Come on in.

Wow, what a beautiful house.

It's enormous.

Thank you.

I'm Rachel, Glenn's wife.

I'm Will. I'm Will.

Glad. Thanks for coming.

Hello. Hello.

For you.

Oh, lovely.

Can I get you a drink?

No, thank you. We don't drink.

Oh.

Well, shall we?

Here you go.

Both of the girls at Arroyo are so silly, kind of homely.

I like the way you're so serious.

So what changed your mind about coming out with me?

I don't know.

I've just been in my room alone and feeling depressed and miserable and

Well, how's it going with my dad, Izzy?

Growing on you?

If he knew we were out together, do you think he'd have a problem with it?

He does know.

I told him.

He was fine with it. He even thought it was a good idea for you.

And me, I guess.

Lily, I swear my father has not told me anything about what you're seeing.

Not one thing.

He wouldn't do that. He doesn't talk to me about any of his patients. He's fully

orthodox.

So why are you... I'm kidding.

I know you don't want to talk about it.

About a month ago, a man broke into my house and committed suicide in front of

me.

Well, you tell me.

Your husband shows up at the church. I thought he was there to kill me.

Why would you come here with your wife? What was I supposed to do? He was

practically begging me.

Excuse me.

So, Beth, where's Tom?

He was feeling tired.

I don't know why. He doesn't do anything all day.

Yeah, that reminds me, Robert. Would you stop abusing my boyfriend? You're

making him cranky. What do you expect? He's my assistant.

I expect you to... Maybe you two can talk about this later.

Okay.

So, Emily.

Now that you're practically a member of the family, tell us about yourself.

Where are you from?

I'm from here.

Oh. Did you do Debit Valley Hunt?

Oh, no. I wasn't a debutante.

Oh. You mean your family are not members?

No.

What do your parents do? Well, my father works in construction, and my mother is

a waitress.

You're not serious.

Yes.

So, um, where did you go to college?

I didn't. Well, I went to a year of junior college, but I had to get a job,

so... Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't realize.

No, there's nothing to be sorry about.

Well, you know what they say.

Opposites attract.

Catherine?

What do you mean?

Well, look at you and Robert. You have absolutely nothing in common, but here

you are.

I would like to propose a toast to Emily and Robert.

May you always be happy and loved.

Here. Here.

Here.

Robert.

So what are you doing?

What? What's with the grand inquisitor routine at dinner? You embarrassed

She's upset.

That's not in question. How was I supposed to know she's a street urchin?

on. It's deliberate, and you need help.

What? You can't stand it that I'm serious about a woman.

You think I'm jealous?

Duh. Yeah, well, you need help.

I've been waiting years for you to fall in love, Robert, but this girl, she's

pathetic. No, she's not.

Well, she's certainly not your equal.

She's poor. She's uneducated.

You could have any woman you want.

Why her?

Because I like her. Because you can dominate her. Because she doesn't

you. Because you don't want a real relationship.

You just want some little cutie doll that you can drag around.

Robert, I'm going to go now.

Wait, Emily.

I can get a cab. No, don't be stupid.

No, but I am stupid.

Thanks for dinner.

Can you connect me with Pasadena Police Department, please?

Thank you.

Hi.

My name is Tom Bellow. I'd like to report a missing person.

You just moved to Pasadena.

Yeah. Yes, I just got here.

Don't know anyone except for Gwen.

Well, Catherine and I should show you around. I know all the best shops and

restaurants.

We just have to take you shopping.

Oh, that'd be great. You know.

I've never been much of a shopper.

I can tell.

I am not this person.

Please, let's not talk morality here.

Things are complicated enough as it is. We have to be practical.

What are we going to do about wellness counseling crap?

I don't know. Go around. Yeah, I could take you someplace.

Oh, God.

He's staring at us right now with this really strange look on his eye.

Don't!

Glenn and I have been talking, and it won't be easy, but

I think we should try a couple of counseling.

Great.

That's all I ask.

Well, Glenn, you've worked a miracle. How'd you convince her?

Well, I just said, come on.

Do it.

I'm still reeling from all that stuff you told me.

I don't know what to make of it. Neither do I.

I mean, for a while, I thought it was from a family of maniacs.

But now... I don't know.

Maybe Henry's manipulating me.

My mission tonight was to make sure you had a good time.

Help you get your mind off your problems.

And instead, that's all we talked about.

I'm sorry.

Don't be sorry. That's one of the craziest stories I've ever heard.

I like you, Lily.

I like you a lot.

Thanks. I like you, too.

Thanks for taking me out.

Anytime.

So I'll give you a call.

You know, Catherine, I have to say I'm glad you changed your mind.

You know, I'm not promising anything.

Try it and see.

What's fair?

What are you smiling at?

I don't know. I just feel like we've gone through this dark period.

I think I'm beginning to see the light, you know?

Through all this pain, I've just become...

stronger and closer.

Don't you think?

Mason.

Mason, you freak. Jenny's not even in here.
