Sounds a good lunch, huh?

Good thing we're on the old expense account.

Dave, I think we need to talk.

Oh, there's a lot of things we need to do. That's why I got us a room at the

Excelsior for dessert.

I really feel that we need to take some time off.

Yeah, time off sounds good. Let's take two weeks in Acapulco.

Dave, you're not listening to me.

I think that Withers is getting suspicious.

Oh, yeah, you see, that doesn't matter.

Our sneaking around days are over.

Today, I'm going to march into that office and tell everyone the good news.

That we're engaged.

We're what?

Don't you just love surprises?

Yeah, actually, I do.

Come on, let's hurry before the champagne gets warm.

Watch out!

Surprise.

How's he doing?

BP's 90 over 60, rhythm is sinus. He's lucky he didn't lose his leg.

If I don't get this artery sewn up, he will.

Hey, there's something wrong with the ventilator. He's not getting enough

oxygen. He's becoming hypoxic. Okay, adjust the oxygen level manually.

Yes, doctor. It's not working. You have to stop the operation.

I can't stop. If I do, he loses his leg. If you don't, he'll go into V -fab. I

can't just let him bleed.

Give me a couple more seconds.

Cardiac arrest.

Turn the power off.

Deep, babe.

300 joules.

Clear?

Congratulations, Doctor.

You have just lost both the leg and the patient.

Okay, good job, everybody.

Thanks for helping, Amanda.

Thank you. It's always a lot of fun.

I haven't had that much fun since my appendix ruptured. Believe me, Doctor,

patient would have had a lot less fun than you. Next time, be prepared.

Yeah, but, Dr. Grimes, this isn't a fair test. I mean, it's a no -win situation.

It's not about winning. It's about making critical choices without

A few seconds of indecision can cost a patient their life.

We'll do this again real soon.

That was a stirring speech, Doctor.

Especially considering the way you handled the test when you were an

Oh, I don't know. I think the object of the test was to prove if a doctor could

think on his feet. I proved I could.

You had the nurse apply a tourniquet, and then you snapped a chip into the

machine. A new one. You just happened to have with you.

Cheating.

Being prepared.

So what would you do if Jesse pulled the same thing?

Sponsored for cheating.

Thanks to you, I'm the new chief of staff. I have to play by the rules.

What's the story, DC?

Car accident victim.

We've got contusions, possible broken ribs, collapsed lung, and severe bodily

trauma. Dave.

Okay, start an IV, TKO, D5W. I want to get chest X -ray, arterial blood gases,

hemoglobin, and hematocrit.

Hey. You know him, too? Yeah, he's a rep for Benchmark Pharmaceuticals. Dave

Chambers, nice guy.

I'd better see if Jesse needs help. Sure.

I didn't even see the car.

He was standing next to me. He was stepping on the car.

It's all right.

It's all right.

He's in very good hands.

Hey, buddy.

How are you feeling?

Like I was hit by a truck.

Well, I wouldn't exaggerate. That car barely qualified as a compact.

How'd this happen?

I had a trip stepping off the curb. Last thing I remember thinking is, I'm going

to be another bug on this guy's windshield.

Well, you came out better than that. Although you did have a hematoma

compressing your intestine we had to operate.

But I wouldn't worry about it. You're going to be out of here annoying your

clients in a few days.

Yeah, not after the bonehead move I pulled last week.

What'd you do?

Accepted a promotion.

Southwest Regional Sales Director.

Hey, that's great.

Yeah, you're just saying that because you've seen my replacement.

Stephanie, the woman who came in with me?

Oh, yeah, she's all right. Yeah, she's amazing.

Of course, I taught her everything I know.

Bet she's been waiting to see me.

Oh, I don't know, but I'm sure Janie is.

You know, Janie, your wife.

Want me to call her?

No, let's not bother her with this.

You think she's going to know something's up when you come home with

bandages on?

Or just the fact that you haven't been home?

Jesse, we're separated.

Sorry.

No problem.

Okay, I'll check up on you in a little while.

Hey, listen, do me a favor, will you?

If you see Stephanie, ask her to jump on, okay?

I thought I had a 10 .30 with a new guy from Benchmark Pharmaceuticals. You do.

She's inside.

Not disappointed to see me? I was expecting somebody else.

I'm the new rep for Benchmark Pharmaceuticals. The real Stephanie

That hysterical idiot yesterday was just a...

Clever disguise.

Oh, I think that hysterical idiot did pretty well for herself. Your quick

thinking helped save Dave Chambers' life, so... Please, sit down.

So, what can I do for you today?

Well, I was sort of hoping that you could fill me in on the business that

Benchmark has been doing with Community General.

Shouldn't you be telling me that stuff?

Well, I really wasn't scheduled to take over for another couple weeks, and,

um... Well, I'd hate to bother Dave with it now, you know, so... I was hoping I

could throw myself on your mercy, and, uh, maybe you could help me out.

Well, my mercy isn't the problem. My knowledge is.

Rather, my lack of it. I've just started here myself, so... All right, then

maybe I could come back in a week or so. That'll give us some time to catch up.

Oh, that's probably best.

Unless, of course, you need something right away that we don't know about.

You know, I've got a book in my car that has all the business the community

general has done in the last couple of years.

Maybe we should just wade through it together.

I suppose we should.

Great. Then what about over lunch?

I'm booked all day.

They're giving me a reception at five.

Okay, then what about dinner, say seven?

It'll have to be a quick one. I've got to prepare for a morning staff meeting.

I'll have you home by nine.

Yeah, you do that and I'll never have dinner with you again.

So the accident will get smaller and smaller and smaller in the distance.

you do? I saw some boulders near the side of me, so I sort of aimed to them.

opened up my park. Your husband certainly hasn't lost his case for

has he? Well, if you call moving every year an adventure.

Well, I'm afraid I'm as much to blame for that as he. I am the one who lobbied

for him to get that job.

Well, he's the guy who accepted without asking me, even though my career is

finally taking off 3 ,000 miles away.

They're so lucky to have Todd Grant.

You didn't say that 15 years ago when he broke into your office and spread

superglue on everything.

He did that? Oh, yeah.

You said at the time that he was the worst plague to the internship program

ever inflicted on a hospital.

Well, I hope someone told me to get a sense of humor.

Frequently. Oh, have you met Norman Briggs?

Mrs. Plague.

Kim. Welcome to the community general family.

If there's anything we can do to make the transition easier, please don't

hesitate to ask.

Well, you could call me a cab.

Todd promised to drive me to the airport an hour ago, but if he's not even on

the chopper yet, there's no stopping him for another 15 minutes.

So there's this helicopter hovering over my head.

I could take you.

That's really not necessary.

Oh, no, no, no. It's our fault that your life has become so complicated.

Let me simplify it a little. I'll take you.

If you put it that way, I'll just grab my bags out of Todd's car on the way

Aren't you going to say goodbye to Todd?

That's one thing about a bi -coastal marriage. You always have another

opportunity to say goodbye.

And that's how I wound up back at Community General.

Thank you.

Kind of anticlimactic, isn't it? Oh, I don't know. I think in many ways I faced

even greater challenges here than I did in Somalia.

Did I say something funny?

No.

No, not at all.

I mean, who am I to talk, right?

I sell pharmaceuticals.

But?

But at least I don't try to convince myself that it's anything more than a

temporary gig.

Until I can do what I really want.

Which is?

If I knew, my trunk wouldn't be filled with...

Samples.

I'm sorry to interrupt, but the kitchen's closing in ten minutes, so if

like to order.

How did it get so late?

Can you give us just two more minutes? Of course.

And can you bring another bottle, please? Yes, right away. So you're

that I'm fooling myself into thinking my new job is worthwhile?

No, not at all.

I think that you will do great things for Community General.

Well, it's great for me, too.

I'm sure it is.

I just can't believe that after all the things you've done and all the places

you've been, you'd be willing to settle for a desk job in Los Angeles.

Well, there's a lot to be said for a normal life.

Besides, when you're married, you have to make compromises.

Sure.

Like which toothpaste to buy.

No, what I mean is...

Staying in one place for a few years while Kim builds her career isn't going

kill me.

Just your soul.

My soul and I are very happy to be in Los Angeles.

Really?

You and your soul are liars.

Are we that obvious?

To me.

Excuse me, sir?

Wake

up,

I'm getting lonely.

What time is it?

About 9 .30.

Oh, God. Oh, God.

Oh.

Oh, God.

The staff meeting started a half hour ago.

Well, good.

There's really no point in leaving, is there?

Look, Stephanie, we drank too much.

I'm sorry, but this was a mistake.

Well, we both know that's not true.

Yeah, well, we also both know I'm married.

To a woman who doesn't allow you to live the life you've always wanted.

Stephanie, look, you know, I think you're an incredible woman.

And I wish that we had met under different circumstances, because if I

free, then this could be the beginning and not the end.

It still can be.

Stephanie, it may not be the best marriage right now, but I love my wife.

I don't want to lose her.

Do you want to lose death?

Stephanie, Stephanie, Stephanie.

Let's go back to the relationship that we're supposed to have.

A professional one.

But I want more than that.

And I know you do, too. You know what? What you want, all right, and what I

doesn't really matter.

It'll never happen again.

Oh, yes, it will.

Simply because we can't help ourselves.

Well, your new house isn't far at all. No, no, that's the best thing about it.

Walking distance to the hospital, I leave my front door, I'm in my office

ten minutes.

Must have been a lot of foot traffic along here this morning.

Look, I'm not crazy about staff meetings either, but you called it. You should

have been there. I know, I know. My alarm didn't go off. I couldn't find my

keys. Well, it wasn't the greatest move in the world, but it's not the end of

your career. Look, it's not going to happen again, I promise.

Look,

it's a fixer -upper, but the price was right.

Well, it looks perfect to me.

Well, thank you, sir. Me too.

Of course, we never bought a house that Tim didn't think needed a little work.

Has there been that many?

Oh, I promised her this would be the last one.

At least for a while, anyway.

So, what do you think?

We need some color. We need color, yeah.

Dr. Mark Sloan, this is Stephanie Hitcher, the benchmark pharmaceuticals

Very nice to meet you.

Flowers are certainly a wonderful housewarming gift, aren't they?

Second best thing would be a meal.

I hope you like deli, Dr. Sloan. There's plenty for everyone.

Oh, thank you. I have to get back to the hospital.

All right.

Aggressive sales.

Well, Todd, you and Kim really lucked out with this place. You're going to be

happy here.

Todd,

you know, if anyone would like to talk, never a bad time.

Oh, thanks, Mark. Everything's fine.

Just, you know, just don't tell Kim.

Before all the boxes were unpacked, I think that she'd kill me.

See you. Yeah.

Just love the way the midday sun fills the room.

So homey.

What are you doing here?

Oh, there's nothing more depressing than being all by yourself in a big empty

house.

By the way, the back door was left open.

You really should always check that before you leave. Stephanie.

Stephanie.

We talked about this.

You know, I stayed in bed after you left this morning.

Curled up in the warm sheets.

I could smell your cologne on the pillow.

It was as if you were still there, holding me.

I thought we had an understanding.

We do.

After lunch, I'll help you unpack the sheet.

Stephanie, we're not having lunch or anything else together. This

is over.

You know, you don't have to be afraid.

What you feel for me, what I feel for you, it's natural.

It's right.

Stephanie, I don't feel anything.

What?

Oh, sweetheart, hi. No, I'm sorry.

It's just been a really difficult day.

2 .30 tomorrow. No, that's not good for me. I have a staff meeting.

No,

I can't reschedule.

Well, can you take a later flight?

No,

of course I want to see you. It's just not that.

Fine. Take the shuttle.

See you tomorrow. All right.

I love... I love you.

Get out.

Get out.

Don't ever come back again.

Your marriage is dead.

And as soon as you admit that, you'll be free.

I'm so sorry I'm late.

The 405 with the parking lot.

Boy, you've really mastered the fine art of packing life.

You'll have to give me some pointers because I always seem to pack my entire

closet. I'm sorry. I don't mean to be rude, but you are.

I'm sorry.

I'm Stephanie Hitcher.

Todd wanted to come get you himself, but he just couldn't escape from that

hospital. You know Todd. He's at his death's end of pressure.

Well, you've certainly gotten to know him fast.

We've only been here a week.

Yes, well, it's just like Todd, isn't it?

And he just opens himself up completely to everyone?

Encourages you to do the same?

Of course, he's a completely different person in private.

Is he?

Yes, he's shy and quiet.

Almost brooding.

It's what makes men like him so difficult to live with.

Well, I wouldn't know. We get along just fine.

This can't be happening.

You know, don't say another word. You just tell it to my lawyer.

Whoa, whoa, what are you doing?

Getting out of this damn bed. No, no, you're not. You just had major surgery.

You can't be on your feet yet. I'm gonna watch.

Dave, you gotta get back in the bed. Whatever it is you want, I'll get it for

you, all right?

Just get back.

I got your messages.

Can we have some privacy, please?

Yeah, but you gotta get back in the bed.

Five minutes.

You look fabulous.

Then take a long look.

It's your last.

Don't tell me I've only got two hours to live.

Well, might as well go out happy.

So tired of your jokes, Dave.

Almost as tired as I am of you.

Came here to tell you that it's over.

You can't be serious.

Two days ago, you couldn't keep your hands off me. You tore the shirt off my

back.

How can you do this? I left my wife for you.

Did I ask you to?

No, but... The Dave I fell in love with was a player.

Top salesman in his company, trophy wife at home.

You had it all.

Now look at you.

You're a loser.

You live in a tiny apartment.

Your career a wreck.

For you. It was all for you. Did you ever once ask what I wanted?

What?

What do you want?

Oh, don't bother now.

I've already found it somewhere else.

His name is Dr.

Todd Grimes.

And he's everything I once thought you were.

You can't do this. Oh, I already have.

And I'm going to do it again and again and again until he's too tired to move.

At his place, actually, tonight.

Please give me another chance.

How are you going to win me back when you don't even have a job?

How did you know?

Withers just called.

Who do you think told him about you spending entire work days shacked up in

expensive hotels?

and sticking the bills on your expense account.

I spent those days with you.

Once Withers found out about you sexually harassing me, that was the end.

Oh, my God.

He gave me your office, by the way.

Nice view.

Mark Pharmaceuticals is here to see you.

Tell her I'm tied up all day.

All day?

Well, we're going to find that money from somewhere. If that takes us all

if it takes us all night, we're going to find the money.

I like this. Okay.

Yes, Eileen?

I'm sorry to bother you, but she's very insistent. She says she has to see you.

Tell her our business is concluded.

Notting a hard bargain?

That's why you hired me, right?

I'm sorry to interrupt your meeting, Mr. Briggs. Dr.

Grimes here left me hanging yesterday in the middle of a very delicate

negotiation. And, frankly, I'm just not satisfied.

Okay.

Hitcher, it's fine. We needed a break anyway.

Thank you, Mr. Briggs. Sure.

Don't get in.

No, it's a completely different look. I, too, wasn't sure if it was right for

me. But Kim said, trust Mario.

He's an artist with hair.

And she was right.

Kim. Uh -huh?

You talked to Kim. Oh, she was so helpful.

But I can see what you mean.

She does have this patronizing quality to her.

Stay the hell away from my wife. Do you understand me?

Stay away from me. Oh, I know this marriage is killing you, but baby, don't

worry. I'll help you.

I'll take care of everything.

I was right.

You couldn't.

I'm going to make some cuts elsewhere in the hospital. They're coming out of the

ER budget.

The other department, especially the women's, it is.

Honey, hi.

I'm surprised.

How was your flight?

I found these in our bed.

I'm sure Stephanie didn't miss them.

Please. That's what this move to L .A. was all about, wasn't it?

You didn't give a damn about this job you wanted out of this marriage.

But I just didn't get it. No, Kim, listen. You sent the one message I

possibly ignore.

Congratulations.

It worked.

I think that sleeping with Stephanie was the second biggest mistake of my life.

And what was the first Todd letting me find out? Letting our marriage slip

I don't want to let it slip away anymore. I think it's too late for that.

I think that we have two choices. We can either fight to get back what we had,

or we can just walk away. And I don't want to walk away from our life.

Do you?

I know it used to be good, Todd.

But it's been so long, I can't even remember what it was like.

Yes, you can.

It's too much right now. I can't deal with any more of this. Okay, come on. I

don't know. Oh, no, I'll make us some breakfast. We'll drive to the beach.

rush me, Todd.

I need to be alone.

Figure some things out.

Thanks.

Give me a phone number as soon as you have one.

BBX. Welcome home.

She did that. She killed my wife.

Who?

Stephanie Hitcher, the rep from Benchmark Pharmaceuticals.

Why would she want to kill your wife?

I made a stupid mistake.

I slept with her.

And now Stephanie thinks that we're in love. I told her that she was wrong,

I was still in love with my wife.

But she wouldn't, um, let go. And now she's stalking me. And you saw it for

yourself. Todd brought me over to see the house as Stephanie had let herself

It struck me as a little odd.

She made herself look like Kim just to win me over. Okay, that's how sick she

is. I understand Kim confronted you yesterday about the affair.

It wasn't an affair. I was with Stephanie once at her place.

Kim and I were having troubles, and I had a little too much to drink.

Kim found some of Stephanie's underclothes. Oh, come on. Look, don't

understand how crazy she is?

She wanted Kim to find that. That's why she planted it in the bed to drive us

apart.

But it didn't work.

What do you mean?

Kim and I talked.

I haven't really talked for the first time in, like, years.

And I just think that if we had had some time, we could have worked with them.

All right, Dad, here's what we've got so far.

The shooter was standing out on the lawn.

The handgun fired five times through the window.

Any witnesses?

Some neighbors heard some loud arguing in a car leaving about 11.

That doesn't mean that Todd didn't park around the corner and come back on foot.

I think it's about time for me to have a talk with Stephanie Hitcher.

So

he

says I'm obsessed with him, huh?

The exact word was stalking.

Is that true?

Well, half true.

You want to fill me in on the other half?

I guess you could say we were stalking each other.

I could, if I knew what that meant.

Todd likes games, detective.

The more dangerous, the better.

I mean, do you really think it was my idea to show up at the hospital dressed

like his wife?

He said you broke into his house.

He had a witness that confirmed that you surprised him there.

I don't suppose that witness said what happened after Todd caught me there.

No. That's too bad.

Todd likes it when there are people around who might catch us.

He should have seen what we were doing while he was talking on the phone with

his wife.

Enlighten me.

I think some things are best left to the imagination.

Not in a murder investigation.

I look good as a suspect, don't I?

I am the one that was having the affair with the husband, right?

Only I wouldn't hurt Kim.

Because I know that that would hurt Todd.

And I didn't need to, frankly. He loves me. We're going to spend the rest of our

lives together.

Kim Grimes was killed with a .38 caliber handgun.

And I'm a registered owner of a .38 with a license to carry.

Exactly. Would you mind producing that weapon?

Very much.

It's awfully cold in Pittsburgh this time of year.

Pittsburgh? Mm -hmm.

I gave the gun to my mother.

I'm a pharmaceutical rep.

I carry around many sample cases full of drugs.

But I would never die for a sample case.

And I certainly wouldn't kill for it, so why carry?

Would you mind telling me where you were last night?

Certainly.

I was in a meeting with the entire Western Regional Sales Force.

In fact, we were in a conference room until about 2 a .m. together.

If you'd like any other phone numbers, I'd be happy to get them for you.

Hey, Mark.

Hello, Mark.

Oh, yes, I'm sorry. A little preoccupied. Todd Grimes?

Oh, yeah. I just had a long talk with Norman.

It's a mess.

I picked up the whole thing in my lap.

Oh, well, then I guess you don't need anything else on your mind. No, I could

use a little distraction.

What do you need?

Well, maybe some medical advice?

Yeah. I've been running a routine renal panel on Dave Chambers twice a day, and

his potassium level was 5 .8 yesterday.

Last night, it went down to 3 .5.

They're still at normal levels, but I can't account for the drop.

Did you give him any diuretics?

Nope.

Is he vomiting?

He says no, and none of the nurses have seen anything peculiar.

Fever?

Well, that is odd.

I tell you what, why don't you do another round of tests, and if you don't

I'd like to see the results.

Okay, yeah.

Wow, what is he doing here?

I don't know. Excuse me.

Todd, what are you doing here? I'm trying to keep the ER staffed without

bankrupting the other departments. You should be at home.

You know what home means to me, Mark? It's where Kim is.

Look, I understand what you're going through, but throwing yourself into your

work will just delay the grieving process.

Trust me, Mark, nothing will delay my grief.

At least here I can do some good. Tom, I really think it'll be best if you take

a few weeks off. I don't think that Norman would appreciate it if I

him in the middle of this budget battle.

Actually, it's Norman's idea.

You talk to Norman.

Mark, I'll be fine.

As long as I can keep working. Todd, if you don't take the days off voluntarily,

Norman's going to have to suspend you.

He's going to what?

Norman's also concerned about the hospital. The board called an emergency

meeting this morning.

Oh, so that's what this is about.

My personal life. Because I had an affair. Because my wife was killed. The

sees me as an embarrassment.

Truthfully, there's some concern about you. The effect your personal life might

have on the hospital. But Norman and I are mostly concerned about you.

Right. Which is why he's suspending me.

It was the best he could do.

The board wanted to fire you.

Tell him not to bother. I'll set him to trouble.

No, I'm sorry. Excuse me. My wife was murdered. And these vultures want to get

rid of me to save themselves some embarrassment?

To hell with them.

To hell with this job.

I'm so sorry to hear about him.

This must be so hard for you.

Maybe, maybe you could find just a little bit of hope.

That you're free now.

You get it!

Everything!

Everything!

Get up!

Better rest.

Lauren firing him because his wife was murdered. He's being dismissed for

unprofessional conduct.

Well, Norman, he's been under a lot of pressure. The board ought to have some

compassion. Mark, he tried to strangle a woman in the hallway.

Not exactly the image Community General wants to project.

Stephanie Hitcher's been stalking him.

And it's quite possible she's the one that killed Todd's wife.

Whatever happens to innocent until proven guilty?

Oh, hi.

Hope you've got some good news. I'm afraid not.

I look into Stephanie Hitcher's past.

She's moved all over the country and left a lot of human wreckage in her

Oh, so it's not the first time her involvement with a man's ended in some

tragedy. Not by far. She's got a thing for married men who are rising fast in

their profession.

That isn't how she leaves them, is it?

The eight men we know she was involved with, all of them either left their

or came home to find their families and left them.

What about violence? Any other people hurt? Two of the men committed suicide.

Three of them sought restraining orders against her, and one of them accused her

of burning his house down. But none of the charges ever stuck.

She's the blind date from hell.

But she certainly has a pattern of obsessive, possibly psychotic behavior.

she's repeated the pattern with Todd.

I think we got her.

I wish we did.

Unfortunately, this picture shows Stephanie with the other sales reps at

Grandview Hotel downtown at the time of the murder.

Or so she says. I mean, that picture could have been taken at any time.

Well, the clock on the wall says...

11 -04. See what their watches say, if you can.

All right.

This woman's watch says 11 -04 as well.

Well, she may be nuts, but she's careful.

If we don't find some kind of a hole in her alibi, she's going to get away with

murder.

I didn't expect to see you here, not after what I did to you.

You didn't do anything to me.

Pushed me for chief of staff. You convinced the board to move me down from

Boston. And then what did I do? I self -destructed.

Not important anymore, Tom.

The important matter is not finding Kim's killer. We know who that is.

Well, knowing and proving are two different things. We checked on

alibi.

Solid.

So I know she's behind it, and we're going to get her.

There's one small piece of good news. Steve seemed to think that the charges

against you will be reduced to simple assault.

And then what?

You post your bail and you get out of here.

And go where?

You want to come out to the beach house for a few days?

You would do that, even after the embarrassment I've caused you.

Thanks.

But don't, Bob. Todd, you can't give up. You've got to keep fighting.

Kim is dead.

My career is in ashes.

I don't have a whole hell of a lot to fight for. You made a mistake. Kim died

for it.

The test results on Dave Chambers just came back. Oh, I see.

Potassium back up to five, sodium 140.

That's good.

What changed?

Nothing. He's been in bed all day and I haven't altered his treatment a bit.

I don't know what's going on.

Well, neither do I.

You know, I bet the guy down at the lab screwed up last night.

Let me run down there and see if I can catch him before they leave.

Wait a minute. You say run.

Yeah, well, they don't stay a minute past five.

Jesse, forget it. I think those reports were done perfectly.

They were.

Let me have another look at that.

Yeah.

That's Sloan.

Uh -oh.

Must be bad news.

No, no, nothing serious, David. Just some laboratory results we're a little

concerned about.

What's wrong?

Well, we've been running a routine test on you twice each day to check your

renal functions.

Yesterday, your potassium level was at 5 .8.

Last night, it was down to a 3 .5.

Now, this morning, it's back up to a five again, and roughly the same thing

happened with your sodium levels.

Well, what's that mean? Has my condition gotten worse?

No, no, you're fine. Those are normal levels.

Well, I don't understand, then. What's the problem?

Well, see, we just can't account for the dip.

The only way that would happen is if you were so sick that you were losing

liquid. Or if you'd overexerted and started to sweat.

Well, that doesn't make any sense, either. I've been in bed for days.

Except when you rushed over to Todd Grimes' house, shot his wife, and rushed

back here before your test.

But I didn't. I've never even met Grimes or his wife. Why would I want to kill

her? You weren't aiming at her. It was Stephanie.

You were having an affair with her. And that's why your wife left you, isn't it?

When she left you for Todd, you were enraged.

But the one thing you didn't know was that she had made herself over to look

like Kim.

You shot the wrong woman, Dave.

That's not possible. Think about it. You said it yourself, Jesse. I've just had

major surgery. I'm in no condition to go anywhere.

That's why you were sweating so much.

You shouldn't have been walking around, but you were.

You were right, Dad.

Mr. Chambers owns a gun just like Stephanie's. And it's consistent with

weapon that killed Kim Grimes.

We know that Benchmark like their salespeople to carry weapons to protect

themselves. So I had Steve checking out.

This is a warrant to search your belongings.

Don't bother.

The gun is in my briefcase.

You have the right to remain silent.

Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law.

I gave Stephanie everything I had to give, and once she had it, she just...

walked away from me like I was nothing.

I never meant to hurt Kim Grimes. God forgive me. I'm so sorry.

Dave, what gave you the idea that Stephanie would be at Todd Grimes' house

night? She told me.

She rubbed it in my face.

Dave was set up.

I think Stephanie planned for Dave to mistake Kim for her.

I guess that's the real reason why she wanted to change her look.

Well, it came out of the way. She figured she'd have Todd all to herself.

Stephanie didn't actually pull the trigger, but she engineered the whole

I think we ought to let Todd know what really happened.

Where's Todd?

He's been bailed out.

Well, that doesn't make sense. When I talked to him, he wasn't interested in

bail. He'd practically given up. He didn't post the bail. Somebody else did.

Stephanie Hitcher.

What?

Steve Todd thinks that Stephanie killed his wife if he let her bail him out. He

did it just so he could kill her

I miss you so much, I think, for you.

I know you've been through a nightmare, baby, but it's over now.

I'm here for you.

And you are free.

I

killed

my wife.

No. Todd, please.

You've got to believe me. I would never.

ever do anything to hurt you. You loved me, and Kim was an obstacle, so you

removed her.

I couldn't.

Dave.

Dave, we were involved.

We were lovers, and I was trying to find a way to break it off, only he wouldn't

let go.

So I told him about us, thinking that maybe that would help end things, and he

knew. He knew that I was going to see you later that night.

looked just like Kim.

Oh, my God.

Oh, this couldn't have happened because of me.

Not because I made the same mistake again.

What mistake?

Because I care so much about you.

I just assumed that you cared about me, too.

My wife.

I forgive you for attacking me and I come here with open arms.

And this is how you thank me?

With a gun?

I didn't want Kim to die.

You're even weaker than the others.

How could I have been so wrong about you? You're pathetic.

Goodbye.

Stephanie, put the gun down.

Now.

Could have had it all.

Bleeding out. His radial's cut.

What are his vitals? BP's 90 over 60. Rhythm is sinus.

I'm tying off.

There's something's wrong with the ventilator. He's becoming hypoxic. I'm

stopping. He could risk cardiac arrest.

Not if we use the spare ventilator.

Hey, that's cheating.

No, that's coming prepared.

Hope he didn't cheat in school. Norman, you're talking to a man with a scalpel

in his hand. One slip and you could become Norma before you know it.
