Now, previously on Reba, what did you call me?

Reba.

See, now that we're renters, I don't think it's right for me to be calling

Mrs. H.

Oh, and I'm cutting down on my carbs, so keep that in mind, okay, Reba?

Barbara Jean said she saw you in bed with Dad.

What?

Hey, Barbara Jean.

I think we should talk.

Yeah, I think so, too.

But could you give me a minute with Reba first?

You want me to leave?

Okay, I'll leave.

But make it a good minute, Brock.

Make sure that at the end of that minute you figured out whatever it is you need

to figure out because I can't keep living like that.

Brock, go after her.

She thinks that you think you made a mistake by leaving me and marrying her

everything. Go tell her she was wrong.

I don't think I can do that.

And why the heck not?

Because I do think I made a mistake.

What? I said, I do think I made a mistake.

Oh, boy.

Yeah.

How long have you felt this way?

I don't know.

I'm not sure what I feel.

You're not sure?

Well, do you feel this?

Ow!

What'd you hit me for?

You think Mary and Barbara Jean was a mistake and you're not sure?

How can I figure out how I feel if I can't talk about it? Well, I don't know.

But you can't go around blurting stuff out and then decide whether or not you

believe it.

That's how you got in trouble with our wedding vows.

Don't you want to know why I think I might have made a mistake?

No.

What if I told you you're one of the reasons?

You know what?

I couldn't care less what your reasons are. Because whatever your reasons are,

they come from you.

You know what?

I do care and you knew I would.

You're despicable, Brock.

You go around talking about how much more sensitive you've become and

you do causes chaos.

This is just another example how your selfishness is tearing everybody else's

lives apart.

So you want to hear?

Are you listening to me?

I do and I don't want to hear. How much more clear can I be?

Okay, I've changed my mind. I'm not going to let you two decide my life.

while I'm sitting in the living room draining the hard candy bowl.

It's okay, Barbara Jean. We're done.

No, we're not. Yes, we are. Oh, no, no, no, no. You guys don't get to make the

choice. I do. And I've decided I'm leaving. No, no, no. I'm leaving. I am.

Rock, paper, scissors.

Barbara Jean.

One, two, three, shoot.

Rock beats. air.

I win.

You didn't win. I wasn't playing.

Well, let's play now.

Okay. Paper, covers, rock. Bye.

When will you get back here? You cheated!

What are you looking at, old lady?

Just walk your dog.

Breathe up!

I'm not sure why I married either one of them.

With gentle hands and the heart of a fighter, I'm a

survivor.

I don't get it.

So I called your mom Reba. What is the big deal? Why did you have to get so

I mean, sure, it's not the greatest name in the world, but... I mean, it's

better than, say, Mabel or Floyd.

Oh, yeah? Tell that to my Aunt Floyd.

Hey, maybe I could use her middle name.

It's Nell.

Nell? Uh -huh.

Nell. Yeah.

Nelly. Old Neller.

What?

We were trying to have a private conversation.

Yeah, we're trying to figure out something important here, Kara, if you

mind. The answer's once.

You only have to lather, rinse, and repeat once.

Why do you always have to cause trouble?

I know, I'm sorry. It's a real character flaw.

Yes, it is.

And I wish you told me that three bottles of shampoo ago.

I guess I'm just a little upset about, you know, Barbara Jean finding Mom and

Dad in bed together.

So Barbara Jean says, Kira, do not kid about this, okay?

Don't try and get us to overreact so you make us look stupid.

Honey, honey, Kira does not have that power over us. Only we can make

look stupid.

Mom, hey, you're back.

Yeah, how's Mr.

H?

H as in Mr.

I don't want to talk about it.

Come on.

Hey, Ma.

So, uh, you were over talking to Barbara Jean. How is she?

How is she? How is she?

She's married to Brock. Figure it out.

You know, we were just wondering, Nell.

did you call me i know it's not working for me either did you

need something mom kira told us about you and dad all

right all right all right stop it both of you that did not happen

i can't believe you would think anything could happen why not

Part two, between him wanting to be a pro golfer and going to therapy and

hanging around you all the time, Mom, things have gotten a little weird around

here lately.

Well, that doesn't mean anything's going on between us.

Good. Right.

What? Yeah.

You and Dad getting back together will be horrible. In fact, I think it's the

worst thing that could possibly happen.

I'm neutral.

I did want you guys to get back together originally, but once you got over it,

you were so much happier.

And now there's Barbara Jean, who I've actually grown to like.

Again, I'm neutral.

Mom, you may think this is just about you and Dad, but it's not, okay? It

change things for all of us.

I don't want everything to fall apart again.

We may be from a broken home, but at least it is still intact.

Clear things up with your father.

Man, she cannot stay away from Mr.

Hart.

Hey, Brock, we need to talk.

Actually, I'm a little busy being selfish and causing chaos.

I deserve that.

Yeah, no kidding. You know, I was trying to tell you something important today.

Well, maybe I'm not ready to hear something important.

Maybe I'm not ready to hear you say that your marriage was a mistake or that you

still have feelings for me. I didn't say that.

I said I don't want to hear it.

Look, I've got a nice life going, Brock.

Everything used to be crazy, one fiasco after the other, and I don't want to go

back to that.

You're going through a lot right now.

You're what my grandma used to call a little taste in the head.

Ha, ha.

I've been diagnosed as depressed, you know. Oh, well, just because you're

depressed don't mean you can't have a sense of humor.

Are you done?

All right.

All right. All I'm saying is, before you go blurting out anything else, just

remember that Barbara Jean loves you with all her heart.

There's no accounting for taste, but she does.

Yeah, well, I love her too, Reba. I'm just...

I'm going through something.

But don't worry. When Barbara Jean gets back, we'll sit down and we'll have a

nice long talk.

Good. Now, I'm sure in a day or two, everything will be the same between you

her.

Lucky for you, the simple are forgiving.

Hey, Jake, what you doing?

Playing a video game.

I'm multitasking.

Well, look, since you're here, let me ask you something.

Do you think things have been a little messed up around here lately?

It's not my fault. Van did it.

Did what?

Made a big mess in my room and didn't clean it up.

Stupid Van.

But that's it?

Nothing with Barbara Jean and your dad?

You mean Mr.

Hot?

Go clean your room.

Hey, Reba. Hey.

I just came over to let you know I'm at peace.

Good. What's that like?

I feel like I just walked through a portal and left all my cares and

the other side.

We'll be sure and pick them up on your way out.

I don't want a lot of cares and concerns in my front yard.

Well, you're really in a good mood.

I guess you talked to Brock.

Oh, not yet. I think you should.

Oh, I don't need to. I think you might. I'm kicking him out.

Oh, you.

I'm serious.

I know. I'm just laughing at my life.

So you're really going to kick Brock out? Oh, yeah.

Bye -bye, Blondie.

to sound judgmental, but you know that's crazy.

No, Reba.

Spending last summer learning Portuguese because it was going to be the

universal language of the future was crazy.

Trying to train bees to eat hamburger out of my hand was crazy.

Kicking Brock out is a smart move.

Uno movimento experto.

I don't get it. This doesn't sound like something you'd do. I know.

Reba, I had a revelation.

I was driving around lonely and feeling sorry for myself when I went by this

church and it hit me.

I wasn't alone in this world.

I know. You're not.

So I asked myself, WWRD, what would Reba do?

Oh, no, no, no, Barbara Jean.

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

That's a bad question.

Well, no, it's not.

You're the woman Brock respects most in this world, next to Jennifer Garner of

Alias.

No, but, Barbara Jean, I would not kick Brock out. And if I were in your

position, I would march right over there, apologize, and make up to my

Oh, no, you wouldn't. Yes, I would. No, you wouldn't.

Maybe. Reba, you would kick Brock out until he gets his head on straight, and

then maybe, just maybe, you'd take him back. Yeah, but I've got anger issues.

Look, Reba, I love my husband, and I don't want to lose him.

But I'm not going to settle for he might want me.

I'm not going to take whatever he decides to give me.

I deserve better than that.

Yeah, you do, Barbara Jean.

Thank you.

See?

I do know you.

I'm in your head.

You know what you're going to do next, don't you?

Ask you to leave so I can go lie down?

No. You're going to give me a hug.

No. Come on.

It was then they realized that neither one of them needed a man.

You guys, guess what?

I'm kicking Brock out.

Barbara Jean?

Well, they're going to find out eventually. Yeah, but they should know

Brock does.

See?

I knew you'd say that.

kicking him out, is she? I don't know.

She could.

I mean, you know how the old saying goes.

If you love something, set it free.

Or cripple it so it can't get away.

Knock, knock!

Hey, Kira, you're doing the dishes.

Hey, Van, you're bothering me.

No, it's just... You're doing a chore.

Never thought of you as the type that helps.

You doing this whole cleaning up thingy because of all the tension around here?

No, I just want to soak in this detergent so my hands will be youthful

Oh, Kira.

Sweet, sweet, vulnerable Kira.

Clean dishes won't keep Daddy at home.

What is wrong with you?

Specific to this moment.

Are you saying there's no tension around here? Barbara Jean didn't just come

back here and kick Dad out? What?

Yeah, she was just over at Reba Nell's.

She was screaming and throwing stuff, swearing she was going to set him free

cripple him.

Really? Oh, yeah.

It was pretty dramatic.

Well, I haven't seen Barbara Jean in a couple hours. Do you think that's a good

sign? I don't know. Maybe it is.

Maybe she just needed some time to think about it. She'll come back here when

she feels better, and Dad will never have to find out.

Find out what? What?

Ben, should I answer what happened?

Did she do it? Did she do what?

Something is obviously going on, but they won't tell me what it is.

Brock, I don't think I should be the one to tell you. Because it's big, man.

It is big.

Reba, if it's big, and it involves who I think it might, you know, a little

advance warning might help me to prepare.

Oh, boy.

Reba, please.

Okay, fine, I'll tell you. But one of these days, I'm going to get remarried.

I'm going to stick you in these situations.

Okay.

Reba.

Barbara Jean came over earlier, and she said...

She's going to ask you to leave.

What? Yeah.

Why would she say that?

That doesn't sound like her. That sounds like you.

I know it! I can't help it. She's in my head!

All right, let's just hold on a second here. I mean, did you ever stop and

that maybe she was just trying to impress you?

Maybe this is just the kick in the pants that we need to start addressing our

issues. There you go. Yeah, Barbara Jean just needs to know that I still want to

work on our marriage. Everything else will take care of itself from there.

Dad, Barbara Jean's at home. She says she wants to see you.

She does?

Oh.

Well, that's great.

You know what?

This feeling has gone on long enough.

Did y 'all get all that?

Yep.

And you know what? I think Dad's right. He's gonna go over there and talk to her

and everything's gonna be okay.

Yeah, I mean, who wouldn't want to be married to Mr. H?

Oh, yeah.

My bad.

It was great.

Yeah. Yeah, we sat down, had a long heart -to -heart, and then she kicked me

out.

Well, you're a strong man.

You'll get through this.

You did with me.

I'm sorry.

You okay?

Well, I will be.

Come on in.

I'll get a couple of beers.

Thanks, Reba.

They're for me.

You can't drink?

You're going to have to drive to a cheap motel.

I still don't know why I married either one of them.
