Gunshot wound, through and through.

Richard. Winter is vital.

IVP 90, over 50, pulse 120, it's ready, it's lost a lot of blood. Get a mentor

for her right away. He's deep in. It's an appall.

Clear.

I'll give you the 300.

Clear.

Come on, Richard, you're not dying on me.

360. 360.

Clear.

Again.

Dr. Graham, he's gone, I'm sorry.

No.

No.

I'm sorry. I thought he was supposed to die. I'm confused.

Cut! What happened?

All right, back to one.

What? What's wrong with her?

You need a crash cart. That.

Don't get me wrong, I am totally grateful for what you've done.

Being a medical advisor for the show shouldn't involve reviving the actors,

I'm not going on any IV.

Celia, you're severely dehydrated. We need to put you on a simple solution of

dextrose and salt.

Great, I can consume calories and retain water all at the same time.

Look, I don't want a needle in my arm, okay? I'm just funny about needles.

All right.

I'm going to tell the producer that you're fine.

But we were all very worried about you.

Thanks, Amanda.

Thanks.

I'll be in my office when you're finished.

Okay.

Well, how lucky was that?

Amanda was actually acting in this episode. I mean, usually she just sends

some medical notes on the script by email.

I mean, if she hadn't been there, I... I mean, I guess it really wouldn't have

mattered, would it? I mean, because I'm basically okay.

I tell you, I know I'm not your doctor, but I'm very, very concerned about your

weight. My weight's good. I mean, I might be a pound or two heavier than I'd

like to be.

Heavier?

Amanda says you're size zero.

Oh, you think I'm too skinny?

Okay, I wish.

Look, the camera puts 10 pounds on you.

If I didn't watch my weight like a hawk, I'd be out of a job. Believe me. Look,

nobody's going to fire you for being healthy.

I am healthy.

I work out every day. I eat three meals, whether I'm hungry or not.

And I'm actually less than a size here, depending on the designer.

Look, we have an eating disorder clinic right now.

Oh, like I have time to check in to some fat farm. It's not a fat farm. Dr. Son,

please.

I appreciate your concern, but I already have my doctor.

Delia. Oh, my God.

And to the younger competition.

Dr. Sloan, this is my sister, Heather.

Hello, Heather.

Heather, this charming man saved my life.

I'm afraid your sister exaggerates just a little bit. Yeah, well, she's an

actress.

Well, I'll leave you two alone.

Fergie, would you have your doctor call me before you leave?

Sure.

What happened?

We tried administering an IV.

Tried administering a sandwich.

Not that she'd eat it. Let me guess, an IV has too many calories?

She did seem concerned about that.

She won't lick envelopes because they have too many calories.

She won't eat anything unless it's approved by Dr.

Strangelove himself, her nutritionist.

His real name is Henry Sheldrake.

And like a bad penny...

Is she okay?

Jesse, she's fine.

She's under a doctor's care.

I was with Hank when he got the page.

Where is Talia?

By the way, have you met Dr. Bentley?

She's the technical advisor to our show.

Amanda Bentley, Henry Sheldrake. How do you do? Nice to meet you. Luckily,

Amanda was on the set when Thalia collapsed. And you were?

Gee, let me guess what you're saying, Laurel.

This is all my fault. Like, I'm not the one who actually got her started eating

again. You think she's eating? Where is my patient?

It's probably her calling now.

Come on. I'll show you to her room.

I'll go with you.

Hi.

Claire Sheldrake. I'm Henry's wife.

How do you do? Thank you for looking after Thalia.

Oh, I was glad I could be there.

Jesse bought us tickets to the opera for Henry's birthday.

Seems like every time we have an evening out, it's inevitably ruined by some

high -strung actress with a salad -dressing emergency.

And he's a wonderful man.

Most incredible husbands.

Patients always come first.

To me, whine and complain.

If patients should come first, I know that.

Even if I did have an eating disorder, which I don't.

I couldn't check into some clinic. The press would have a field day with that.

Look, our unit here is set up to handle celebrities.

Nobody would ever have to know you're here.

All right. Like that would happen.

It's all right, Thalia. I understand.

That other doctor didn't seem to get it.

Dr. Sloan, and he said that he wanted to talk to you when you got here.

I wish you would talk to him. You know, he's really good with these high

-profile cases.

Jesse, I really don't have time to consult with a lot of general

I'm surprised you even came.

I am going to give you a vitamin B shot, and then get back to the opera so I can

catch a little shut -eye.

Hi.

Hi. Sorry I'm late.

Oh, you gave the menu and me a chance to get to know each other.

Nice place.

Yeah. One thing about riding a food column, you get to go to some really

fabulous restaurants.

Speaking of really fabulous restaurants... Yes?

I forgot to mention that I'm part owner of a barbecue joint.

Oh, no. Do I hear conflict of interest?

No.

At least I don't think so.

No, the thing is, I'm meeting my dad there tomorrow with some friends, and I

hoping if you were free, you might join us.

And write a review?

Oh, no. No reviews, I promise.

I'll be there.

Great.

Would you excuse me while I go powder my nose?

And if a waiter should happen to stumble on our table, I'll take another mineral

water.

I'll be right back.

Hey, girl. Hey, buddy. What are you doing here?

You with her? Yeah.

Blind date?

No, why?

Don't worry.

Nobody in the precinct will ever know.

My lips are sealed.

I'll be at the tooth tent.

Okay.

Hi,

is Dr. Sheldrake there?

Oh, will you tell him that, um, Dahlia called?

Thanks.

Um, I have number seven, no yogurt, no apple juice, no banana.

A third of a cup of lemon juice, crushed ice, seven strawberries, and a blend of

your protein powder.

Inside a water bottle.

The water.

I have one of those, uh...

Let me see.

Large wheatgrass, please.

One wheatgrass, you got it.

Dr. Sloan, what a surprise.

Betty, how are you? Good.

You know, I have been jogging the same route for six months, and I have never

seen you here before.

You haven't seen me?

Thank you.

You gonna drink that?

Oh, yeah.

You never actually had wheatgrass before, have you? Drink it all the time.

food, good for you.

Well, I wondered how you were.

You know, you left the hospital without any treatment at all and any tests.

I was frankly a little worried about you.

Look, I'm not some fragile flower, Dr. Song.

I just play want TV.

I'll tell you what.

I will race you to the end of the park and back and you'll see how strong I am.

You ready?

Well, you're not supposed to race on a... Go!

...empty. So...

Heather, call 911.

Woodley Park, North End.

Cardiac arrest. Get an ambulance.

Doctor on the scene.

Heather, call now.

Um, yeah, we need an ambulance right away.

The North End of Woodley Park.

My sister's had a heart attack.

Celia Roseland died of sudden onset atrial fibrillation leading to cardiac

arrest. Cause of fibrillation, dehydration, malnutrition, and ephedra.

Most likely in the form of the Chinese herb mawong.

Well, that would explain the elevated heart rate and blood pressure.

There was extreme heart tissue damage due to years of crash dieting, and the

ephedra most likely triggered the arrhythmia. I don't know why I didn't

before. I mean, I saw the manic behavior. I didn't even check her

don't know what was wrong with me. Oh, man, don't do this to yourself.

I tell you, I wanted everybody to think that she was fine and she was very

convincing. She even fooled her own doctor.

I guess.

But still, there was a very high concentration of the substance in her

I thought if she was buying it over the counter, she was taking massive amounts

of it. I almost want to put cause of death, suicide.

But on the other hand, what if she didn't buy it over the counter?

What are you saying?

Mark seems to think maybe Dr.

Sheldrake. Dad, that's crazy.

He's on his way to Sheldrake's office right now. He wants to talk with him

before his clients come in.

I'll see if I can catch him.

I have never given any of my patients mahwah.

You think I don't know the potential hazards of ephedra?

I can't understand how you could put anybody with a pre -existing heart

condition on a diet, especially somebody already painfully underweight. My food

plan was not a diet. Mark, he was helping her to gain weight.

Did you know that Thalia was a size zero? I mean, how can there even be a

zero? The protein powder he had her on contained carbohydrates, fiber, all the

essential fatty acids.

She should have been placed in an inpatient treatment facility.

Against her will.

Look, if you want my opinion, it's the people at the television studio that are

responsible. They kept telling her that she couldn't get fat.

No one at that studio gave her ephedra.

And neither did I.

We'll know about that soon enough, won't we?

Excuse me.

Well, you said you didn't keep any food in the house?

She didn't eat anything that didn't come from Dr. Sheldrake's office.

Look at this.

Dr. Sheldrake's protein powder.

Dr. Sheldrake's vitamin supplements. Dr.

Sheldrake's herbal tea.

I wonder he didn't try to package air.

Heather, what are you going to do now?

You're too young to stay here by yourself.

Dr. Sloan, I'm 16.

Oh, that old.

Oh, I'm not going back to Idaho.

I'm an emancipated minor. I can live here.

I'll work and maybe do some modeling.

So, was Delia Roselon as skinny as she looked on TV?

Yeah.

What gets into these women? I mean, that is just plain unhealthy.

Girl, can I ask you a question?

Anything, buddy.

You're a mirror.

Sloan here.

Hi, Lita.

We still on for dinner?

Look, all I'm saying is that Hank is a good doctor. He's helped a lot of

And there's no proof that he gave anyone a Fedra.

See, the problem is Thalia always thought she had to look her best for the

camera. You think she looked her best? She looked a lot worse before she

seeing Dr. Sheldrake. He was really helping her.

He's got a book on nutrition coming out.

Oh, just what the world needs, another diet book.

Well, don't be so dismissive just because you don't like diet books.

You know, he's a good guy. Besides, he could use the money.

You're trying to tell me that this celebrity diet business isn't netting

bundle. He earns a lot, but his wife spends a lot. I just don't want to see

book canceled because of rumors and innuendos.

Went by to see Heather this afternoon.

She doesn't even know why it all happened.

Well, the loss of her sister, the shock, the grief of it all. I'm sure it's

affecting her appetite.

Well, I'm going to ask her in for a blood protein test just to make sure.

Hey, guys.

Sorry I'm late. We ordered your regular for you.

We didn't know what to order from.

What happened to Lena? I thought you were bringing her a friend. She had to

cancel at the last minute. Some work thing.

Oh, I'll be looking forward to meeting her.

Me too. Wait a minute. You're dating someone you haven't introduced to us?

I didn't realize that was a prerequisite.

Hmm. Where'd you meet her?

The Malibu Police Station chili cook -off. I took first place.

And what'd she win?

Me. She was a food critic for Pintum Magazine. She was a judge.

Hold on a second, Hotshot. You're saying that your chili won first prize?

So did you go see Heather? Yeah.

How could anybody pick protein powder over T -bone steak? It is beyond me,

We can see him.

Ma 'am, keep your hands up. I'm Claire Sheldrake. I'm Dr. Sheldrake's wife.

You knew there was a silent alarm.

I thought I punched in the code to turn it off.

It's their anniversary.

The panic code is my husband's birthday.

I must have gotten them confused.

This is a mistake.

Has my husband arrived yet?

This is one of the documents that didn't make it through the shredder. You

recognize it?

It's a letter from Thalia Roselong to your husband.

Threatening to expose him as a fraud and a quack when his diet book is published

next month.

Unless he leaves you and marries her.

The arresting officer saw you trying to shred this letter.

Did your husband ask you to shred it?

I never saw this letter before in my life.

This kind of extortion could be seen as a motive for murder.

I told you I've never seen this letter before.

I've never seen any of these letters before.

I find it very hard to believe.

He's telling you the truth.

He never saw the letters.

God, I've made such a mess of things.

I work part -time at Henry's office.

Bookkeeping. That's how I knew the code.

Anyway, one day, a letter came for him in Thalia's handwriting.

I shouldn't have opened it.

But something told me.

It was the first of a batch of love letters.

I didn't know what to do.

I was heartbroken.

So I put them in a file.

I was going to confront him with them, but before I could work up the courage,

he came to me and he confessed everything.

Mrs. Sheldrake, do you think your husband killed?

Thalia Roseland.

Excuse me a moment.

Here's that report you want, Lieutenant.

Thank you.

This just came in from the lab.

Tea to prepare for Thalia Roseland was 90 % Mahuang.

Ephedra.

That's impossible.

It's not only possible, it's what killed her.

Then with Sheldrake, I'm placing you under arrest for the murder of Thalia

Roselon.

Killer. He didn't.

Jesse, every teabag in Thalia's kitchen had Dr.

Sheldrake's name on it, and every one of them was full of marijuana.

Mark, I've talked to him about Chinese herbs before. He insisted that

he gave his clients was safe.

Well, the police lab tested the other teabag in Sheldrake's office. Not any of

them had any ephedrine in them.

Except Steve noticed that there were traces of Ma Long around the baseboards

the floor, like maybe he had spilled it and tried to clean it all up. Which

means that he or someone put the Chinese herb in the tea bags going to Thalia.

Whoever wanted to kill him must have known Thea Fedra would do the trick. And

knew that she had a pre -existing heart condition.

All the rules lead right back to Dr.

Sheldrake. Look, Mark, I practically lived at that house during my residency.

I don't know who killed Thalia Rose Long, but...

It could have been one of Hank's ex -clients or someone who was jealous of

Thalia. I just know it wasn't Hank.

Here it is.

Henry's celebrity cavalcade.

Why did you want to see it?

Jesse said it was very impressive.

Jesse's always been impressed with Henry's ability to attract famous

These are the clients that he's going to use for his book.

Not this one.

Yes.

Sorry.

You know, this is very good tea.

Oh, thank you.

My husband made it. It's one of his concoctions.

Really? He's so busy, you'd think he wouldn't have time for this.

Well, for his high -profile client, he always makes the time.

I'd be willing to bet that not one of them is going to come forward on his

behalf.

I have some questions I need to ask you. Some of them are a little indelicate.

What could be more indelicate than being arrested for murder?

You told the police that your husband never knew about the letters.

That's right.

But he came to you and confessed his affair with Thalia.

Why do you suppose he did that?

Well, I never told him about the letters.

But it's possible that Thalia mentioned them to him.

In which case, he would have realized that I knew all about it.

It's possible, I suppose.

I prefer to think he simply came to his senses.

I can tell you for certain.

He told me he broke up with Thalia and that he wanted to save our marriage.

Is that what you wanted?

More than anything.

I love my husband.

Despite the affair?

Henry is a wonderful man, Dr. Sloan.

But, as my mother used to say, a man is a man. Don't expect miracles.

Thalia was young and beautiful.

Most of all, relentless.

You know, I'm curious.

Why didn't you just destroy the letter?

I thought it would be a good thing to have.

In case she ever did carry out her threat, I'd be able to prove that she

all up.

I wanted to protect Henry.

His career, his book.

When she died, I

panicked.

I thought maybe he did kill her.

Instead of protecting him, I was afraid that letter could destroy him.

You know, it's ironic, isn't it?

If you hadn't tried to destroy that letter, your husband probably would

have been arrested.

Do you mind if I take this with me?

Dr. Amanda Bentley, pick up line four.

Dr. Amanda Bentley, pick up line four.

This is Dr. Bentley.

Heather Roseland? Yeah, she's supposed to have a complete blood panel.

She isn't.

You think he did?

Mark Sloan doesn't seem to think so, and if anyone can prove his innocence, he

can.

Why did she have to break up with him? I told her not to.

Val, you broke up with him?

I was so afraid that I'd never get to see him again.

Oh.

Heather, you were in love.

Exactly what you told me.

But first, you're going to clean up this mess, okay? And I'm going to make you

some lunch, and then we'll go to the clinic and have your test done.

So, you like scrambled eggs?

Yeah. Good, because they're my specialty, and we seem to have all the

ingredients right here.

Well,

Claire called me right after you left. She said she'd heard from Henry's

publisher. They're postponing the publication date of his book.

Postpone it or cancel it.

I think it's a polite way of saying that it's not going to happen.

Claire was pretty upset with the lawyers and everything.

They really counted on that money.

Steve, you have that blackmail there?

It's right here. Where'd you want to look at it? I came across a photograph

Sheldrake's house and it's signed.

I wanted to compare the two signatures.

It's a match.

I thought maybe the signature on the letter was a forgery.

Why would someone send a letter like that and forge Staley his name to it? On

the other hand, if Staley broke off the affair like Heather said she did, why

would she write him letters threatening to ruin his life if he didn't marry her?

She changed her mind.

He had already confessed his affair to his wife, and he didn't want to go back

to her.

That's one possibility.

There's another.

Heather said some interesting things to Amanda.

You might want to talk to her before you go out on your date.

How did you know I had a date?

Oh, lucky guess.

And I see you're wearing a new shirt.

This

company

specializes in home -cooked takeout meals for working moms.

And bags, too, I should hasten to add. Not wanting to cast versions on the hard

-working male population.

Ooh, quiche.

Uh, real men.

Don't eat quiche, I know.

Lucky for us, you don't have any hang -ups about those old clichés, huh?

Oh, fresh fruit tart. Wow, this looks great.

And this is cute, real clock napkins.

If it tastes as good as it looks, these guys are getting a great review from me.

This is good.

I'm sorry I had to cancel dinner plans last night.

Yeah, me too.

I was looking forward to those barbecued ribs.

Well, you know, they're really not that good, dear. Oh, come on, you can't fool

me. I've tasted your croquettes, remember?

Yeah, well, chili's one thing.

Yeah.

I was really hoping to get to meet your dad.

Sounds like such an interesting man.

Yeah. Yeah, he was disappointed, too.

Listen, can I ask you something?

Sure. I mean, maybe it's just me, but when you spend your days looking for the

hidden meaning in everything people say... Wow, you don't have to worry

that with me.

What?

Well, it's just that I've been to your office, I've been to your house.

You haven't even met any of my friends.

Well, that's just coincidence.

Timing.

Okay, I'm just wondering.

Of course, if you're embarrassed to be seen with me.

That's all in your head, detective.

Well,

that's what I thought.

Professional hazard.

Speaking of professional hazards, I sure hope you guys nailed Dr. Sheldrake.

You know him?

Only by reputation.

I know he's kind.

No surprises there, I guess.

I'm not sure I know what you mean.

Oh, please.

Look, I have been to dozens of doctors and nutritionists just like him.

I've been to fat farms. I've been to hypnotists. I've been on every diet

to man.

The Scarsdale, the Atkins, the drinking man's diet, and I don't drink.

The Hollywood diet, the cabbage soup diet. I don't want to go there.

I was on a different diet for every meal of the day.

I even thought about getting that operation, you know, where they bypass

stomach. Why would you want to do that?

I hated my body.

You were really fat?

I'm the same size I am now.

I'm no size 2, Steve, haven't you noticed?

I know.

I also know how beautiful you are.

Thank you.

Come on, Lena. I bet you there's lots of guys that want to go out with you.

Well, I will admit that once I stopped trying to change my body, that I decided

that I was happy with the way I am, people, men, started noticing me more.

I noticed you right away.

Oh, you did not.

I mean, of course I did.

It might have had something to do with that first place trophy you just handed

me.

You know, I gave you that trophy last year, too, and the year before. I know.

You don't remember, do you?

That first year, I said you had skin like porcelain.

And you said, what do you mean, like the kitchen sink?

Well, that sounds like me.

Anyway, I got the feeling you really didn't want me to ask you out.

We are changing the subject right now.

How's that?

Best I ever had.

The only quiche I ever had.

It's probably the last quiche I'll ever have.

Laurel. Amanda.

Thank you for coming by on such short notice. Sure. What's the problem? Over

here.

The network says the show must go on, so we're recasting Thalia

Roselon's role on Med Squad.

We have to make a decision today, and I need you to do a physical on whichever

actress we hire for insurance.

You're hiring one of these girls?

Yes. They're the callbacks.

They're all anorexic.

You can't tell that by looking at someone.

Oh, but I think I can.

Well, they might just all have a very high metabolism.

You can't do this. Not again.

Do what?

Hire another emaciated actor and tell her she looks great as long as she

herself to death.

How these girls look is entirely up to them.

Not if they want to work for you.

I don't determine the ratings.

Do you want another death on your hands?

I was not responsible for Thaddeus' condition.

And if I change the way I cast this role, it could look like I feel guilty.

can't afford even the appearance of culpability.

I will not certify another undernourished actor.

I need this medical exam.

You work for the show, and you will do what I ask you to do.

Not anymore.

I quit.

Hey, Jess. Sorry I'm late.

I thought you'd be gone.

Don't you have afternoon rounds?

I've been waiting for you. Did you talk to Amanda?

Did you know that Sister Heather was also in love with Hank?

Yeah. So?

Well, so if Heather was mad at Delia for breaking up with Hank...

You know, she could have put the Ma Wong in the tea bags.

Jesse. What? I mean, she had opportunity, means, and motive. She's a

-old kid with a crush on her sister's boyfriend.

That's not very high in the motive scale.

Any motive is worth investigating.

And I am.

Jesse, before your friend goes to trial, I'm going to look at anyone and

everyone who might have killed Delia Roseloff.

Thanks. That's all I ask. You're going to find out.

You good at math?

What? I hate this.

County Medical, for all I care.

Just get someone over here now.

Dr. Stone.

Hi.

I don't suppose you could do a physical for me today?

Oh, you know, I'm late for my rounds already. I'm sorry. Of course. Why

even one thing go right for me? Well, I won't take much time. I had a question

to ask you, if only you could help me with.

Why not? I've solved everyone else's problems all day.

What's yours?

Apparently, Athalia had an affair with her nutritionist, Dr. Sheldrake.

Yesterday's news.

She broke up with him a couple of weeks ago. Yeah, I heard that.

But the thing is, after the breakup, she wrote him this letter threatening to

ruin him if he didn't marry her.

For some reason, it doesn't make any sense she'd write this kind of a letter

after she broke it off.

A lot of things that you did didn't make sense.

Well, I know you worked with her for several years. You probably know her

than anybody.

Can you think of any reason she'd write a letter like that?

She didn't.

That's not her signature.

What? It's the same one that's on the photograph.

It's Heather's.

Heather? We paid her to sign Thalia's fan mail and photos. Look, got a whole

stack of them right here.

Heather signed Thalia's name.

We mailed them out.

Just as I thought, it'll take three pages, not four.

So?

Well, if I remember correctly, you said that Claire Sheldrake was trying to

shred the blackmail letter and it jammed.

Yes.

What was on the other three pages?

Love letters. All the same signature?

Thalia's.

Well, if Heather was in love with Henry Sheldrake, she wouldn't send him a bunch

of love letters in Thalia's name.

Well, she said she wanted him back.

But those love letters were dated before the breakup.

So if Heather didn't write them, maybe Claire Sheldrake did.

Why would she do something like that?

Maybe to frame her husband, make it look like he killed Thalia and she was just

trying to protect him.

Wait a minute, if she wrote them, she'd want them to be found. Why would she

shred them?

Well, that's not me for a while, but I got to thinking, maybe she didn't really

mean to shred them.

Maybe she just meant to feed enough paper in there until the machine jammed.

How do you come up with these things?

That's not all.

All right, I'll bite.

Claire Sheldrake said she saved all of those love letters in a file. Now, I

don't see any empty file around here at all. Neither do I see any evidence of

where that file would go.

She threw it away?

When? The police caught her right in the act.

She could have shredded it. It was too thick. It would have jammed.

What if there were no love letters?

No file?

No blackmail letter?

What if Claire Sheldrake fabricated this whole thing just to frame her husband?

Look at that. This is all idle speculation.

I mean, Thalia's producer said that the signature on the letter was Heather's,

not Claire Sheldrake's.

Now, that's true. The simplest explanation is that Heather sent the

Or Claire Sheldrake forged the letter from the signature she had on that photo

that Heather had signed as a sample, not knowing, of course, that it wasn't

actually Thalia's signature.

If I was a prosecutor, I'd say Heather wrote and signed a blackmail letter to

get Dr. Sheldrake back into her life.

I think we better talk to Heather.

That's my signature.

Who wrote this?

Didn't you?

No. You just said you signed it.

No, I said that it was my signature.

I would never write something like this.

Never.

Heather, if Talia broke up with him, a letter like this might bring him back.

Now, that's what you said you wanted.

Right, but if I got him back, she would just tell him to go jump in a lake.

Look up what that took me.

Was it common knowledge that you signed your sister's photos and fan mail?

Talia liked everyone to think that she signed things herself, so she knew and I

knew and her producer knew, that's all.

When your sister was seeing Dr. Shelter, did she have a key to the house?

No one had a key, except Dali and I.

I even had to let the cleaning lady in. So he couldn't have come in here with

the ephedra and substituted for the regular tea, could he?

No, he was never in the house alone.

Actually, there was this one time we were late getting home from the studio.

What did he say to him on the phone?

Hi. Hi.

I was just cleaning out some of Henry's files before the police decided to come

and look for something else.

Oh, is there something else for them to find?

Evidence of his many indiscretions.

Listen, I talked to my friend Steve, and there's a really good chance that

they're going to be releasing Hank soon.

Do you have another suspect?

Well, I don't think I'm supposed to say anything.

Jesse.

All right, um...

Apparently the sister, Heather, had some sort of jealousy thing going on, and if

Steve can connect her to the Ma Huang or her to the letters... They'll let him

go? Yeah.

You mean he'll actually be coming home?

You know, I was thinking if they can prove that he was framed in the

house, would have to put out his book. I mean, there would be a major lawsuit if

they didn't.

You know, it's ironic.

This whole thing could turn what might have been just another diet book into a

bestseller.

Well, I'd be glad to see some good come out of this.

I'm going to go see Hank. Is there anything you want me to tell him?

Just that I'm working on clearing his name.

Yeah, well, we're all working on that.

Bye. Bye.

Someone here to see you.

Want me to tell her you're not here?

No, Carl. What I'd like you to do is go over to the two -way mirror in the

interrogation room. Yeah?

And take a good, hard look at yourself.

For a nice surprise.

Oh, well, up in the neighborhood.

Oh, no, I wasn't.

Well, come on. I'll introduce you to some of my friends.

Sit down.

Come on in.

Uh, yes, Mrs. Sheldrake. Could you hold on one second?

I have to take this. Can you hang around a while? I'll take you to lunch.

Ribs?

You're on.

Hello, Mrs. Sheldrake. What can I do for you? Is it true that you believe

Thalia's sister might be involved in the murder?

There's only one person that could have told you that. And when I get my hands

on him, I'm going to wring his neck.

But it is true.

Well, Heather was a regular at a health food store, so she would have had access

to the Mahuang.

And we suspect she wrote the letters and forged Thalia's name to them.

We just don't have any hard evidence to prove it.

If we could find anything to link her to this, we could make an arrest.

So you mean some sort of proof like that she practiced her sister's handwriting,

something like that?

Anything.

This is Dr. Mark Sloan. I'm at 5300 Mandible Road in the colony.

I need an ambulance immediately.

Reduce the blood on the rig on the way over. She's hypokalemic.

We'll get on an IV immediately.

Tooth enamel is worn out.

Skin turgor is abnormal.

Fast pulse.

I found three cartons of laxative in her bathroom.

Classic size of olivia.

I think I'll stay with her until she wakes up.

I'll take that.

This?

You know, I found it outside when I was... I don't think so.

We had you under surveillance the whole time.

The only thing I didn't know until now is how you got in the house and leave

ephedra in the first place.

Followed your husband here as my guest.

Saw where the spare key was kept.

You have no idea what it's like.

Wondering.

Always weighing your looks and your age against the next young thing to walk

into your husband's office.

Every year they get younger and thinner.

And he stops coming home at night.

I'm placing you under arrest for the murder of Thalia Roseland.

I can't believe she went for it.

We've got Jesse to thank. I don't think she would have believed anybody else.

They're being friends.

I just kept hoping that we were wrong.

Dr. Sloan tells me that you've agreed to check into the clinic.

I don't know if I can do it.

I'm scared. What if I get fat?

I know.

I went through the same thing myself.

Do you know what?

You just keep doing it one day at a time.

And before you know it, you'll look around and realize that you're eating

healthy foods for the first time ever.

You have a fabulous job, great wardrobe, fantastic guy

who's proud to be seen with you.

And you think, how could I have ever hurt myself like that?

It'll happen. I promise.

Yeah. Dr. Sloan's going to help me.

I know.

Dick Van Dyke coming right up. A special bonus diagnosis next.

CBS Saturday. What's going on here? The DeLucas have survived sibling rivalry.

You got her pregnant? Family squabbles. Don't talk like that in front of your

mom. But they're about to face.

You've had a heart attack.

Their toughest challenge ever.

You will do anything to get out of doing the dishes, won't you?

And all new That's Life, CBS Saturday.
