Original subtitles

Previously on "Army wives"... I love you, girl.

I love you, too. I'm cleared To return to combat.

Hey, let's see That mona lisa smile.

(laughs) I'm so happy to see you.

I stopped drinkin'. You always say that.

Who's the guy? My fiancé.

I'm 16 years old. I can make my own decisions.

But do you realize that-- That your dad is my boss?

Well, my husband and I Are separated. I'm sorry to hear that.

We know that you're still Seeing logan. I want to be able to date him Like a normal guy.

He's not a normal guy.

He's a man and a soldier On your father's post.

We're short $380.

Just give me my money. You think I-I took it?

Jordanna davis. I'll be Taking over the intel section.

Looks like We'll be working together.

Here's your money. He took it. Jerry.

(michael) I just wanted

To wish you Good luck today, joan.

Great. I'll see you at the office.

Hmm.

Joan's first day back. Just wishing her luck.

How'd she sound? Fine. Why?

It's her first day back After having her baby.

It's joan. She's not the same joan She was two months ago.

I'll be understanding.

Hey, uh, gotta go. Bye. Mwah. Mm.

Hang on a second.

Dad, I'm late.

You're gonna want To hear this. What?

Your father and I Have been very impressed

With how you've handled Your restriction.

So we're ending it early.

As of now, You are out of jail.

Go out, smell the sweet air Of freedom. (claudia joy laughs)

Seriously?

Can I go out after school?

After your homework's done.

And, um...

Can--can I still see logan?

Yes, you can.

Thank you.

Okay.

Thank you.

Mwah.

Mwah. Have a good day.

Bye.

(claudia joy) oh.

They seem To really like each other. Yeah.

Okay, They're officially dating.

What do we do now?

What every teenager Wants their parents to do--

Absolutely nothing.

Don't you think We should get to know him?

I told you I checked him out.

I mean as a person, Not a soldier.

Maybe a dinner. (chuckles) like the one We had with quinn?

Okay, I know. That one Didn't go so well.

No, and neither would Dinner with logan.

Privates should not be Dating generals' daughters.

And privates do not have dinners At generals' houses.

It's against All army protocol.

Mm.

I will not forbid them From seeing each other,

But I'm not Gonna sanction it either.

So we just stand On the sidelines?

My hope is that like Most teenage romances,

This one Will flame out quickly.

Hmm.

See you later on.

Mm. Okay.

***

(panting)

I have to get one of Those running strollers.

It'll free up more of Your time in the morning.

(sniffles)

Whoa. What's the matter? You okay?

I don't think I can leave her.

But this is what You've been waiting for.

I know.

Sweetheart, she's gonna have Her daddy all day,

And then tonight, She's all yours.

And I'll bring her by The office, okay?

Now come on now.

Come on now. Hand her over.

(cooing)

(whispers) There we go.

I didn't think It was gonna be this hard.

You're gonna be late.

Okay. Don't let anything Happen to her.

I will guard her With my life. Now go.

Okay. I think I put Enough breast milk in the--

Go.

Okay. (sniffles) when you Put her down for a nap--

Just walk out the door.

There you go.

She is so cute.

You are Almost out the door. Okay.

I can't wait To come home to her.

Mm-hmm. Hey, joan.

What about me?

(laughs)

Mm.

Thank you.

Now you may go. Okay.

Say bye, mommy.

(soft voice) Bye, mommy.

Maybe marda will pull it Together this time.

Her boyfriend Stole money from me.

Does that sound like Pulling it together to you?

Yeah, but you never stop caring About your mom,

No matter how bad she is. Yeah, well, You never lived with marda.

Pamela. Angie.

I was wondering if I could Have a word with you.

About what?

Um, it's a private matter.

Whatever you tell me, She'll end up hearing anyway.

We like to share.

Right. I remember.

Uh, all right, well, This is a little awkward,

But apparently your daughter Has been showing my son

Her private parts. (laughs)

That is kinda normal 8-year-old behavior, isn't it?

Well, I've been doing it Since I was 5.

It's how I used to get My lunch money. I don't find the humor in it.

And gil has been talking About it in graphic detail.

No, it isn't funny, But come on.

It is kinda normal, right?

I mean, Maybe gil showed katie his,

And then katie showed-- No, my son did not show Your daughter his.

He was taught better. So what are you saying, That katie wasn't?

I don't want it to happen again,

And if it does, I'll be forced To go to the principal.

Fine. I'll talk to katie.

(woman singing pop ballad Indistinctly)

So you're still here.

I broke up with jerry.

Sent him packin'.

Broke up till you get home, Or kicked him into orbit?

(laughs) take a look At the moon tonight.

He'll be circling it.

(laughs) That I'd like to see.

Sit down.

Oh, I pick The wrong kinda men.

I always have.

Just another thing I need to fix.

Haven't always been aces In that area myself.

I had a long string of losers Before trevor came along.

Seems like the bad guys Are the only guys I like.

(laughs) somehow, You and I got turned around

And confused Bad with strong.

Strong isn't the guy That tries to control you.

Like trevor.

He really loves you.

Yeah.

I'm still trying to figure out How that happened.

(laughs)

So... I have a few days

Before I have to Be back at work.

And jerry prepaid

For the whole week At the motel.

So do you mind if I... Stick around?

Sending him into orbit Bought you at least that much.

(telephone rings)

(beeps)

Betty's bar & grill.

This is roxy leblanc.

When?

H-how?

Y--um, thank you For letting me know.

(beep)

What's wrong, hon?

Betty died.

(sobs)

Oh.

(crying)

Really?

She blew bubbles?

She actually blew?

(laughs) That must have been so cute.

Now, roland,

Why would you buy her bubbles When I'm not there?

It's her first bubble. Of course it's a big deal.

Okay. From now on, No more firsts unless I'm home.

Evan.

Gotta go. Bye.

It's good to have you back.

Is it?

Isn't it?

Well, a lot has changed.

Yes, well, our managerial styles Are quite different.

Well, that's understandable And expected.

Everything looks to be In good shape.

So thank you. I appreciate your hard work.

My pleasure.

But there is one thing.

Specialist leblanc.

What about him?

His unit. You filled his spot.

Well, he's been out a long time. They were shorthanded.

No, they weren't shorthanded. I talked to his c.O. In iraq.

He said they were willing And able to hold his spot

Until he could return, Which is now.

His shoulder has healed. I felt they were better served With a new man.

Since I was in charge, It was my call. It was payback.

For what? You felt he got in the middle Of our disagreement

Over the post drug problem. He was just Following your orders.

Why would I Take it out on him?

'cause you can't Take it out on me.

You dismissed him As your driver,

Made him an admin clerk,

Now he's driving For you again.

Do you care to explain that? That's my call.

Exactly. What gives you The right to question my orders?

You're not My commanding officer.

Not yet.

Well, then until then,

Stop addressing me As if you already are. I am the deputy Garrison commander--

And as an officer Of equal rank,

I take my orders From general holden.

I do this job to the best Of my ability,

And I will happily fill in For you whenever you need to

Rush home and watch Your daughter blow bubbles.

Just because I have a baby-- I have a meeting.

Hey, mom.

Hey. How was school?

Perfect. No homework.

Oh, then more time To spend with logan, huh?

Uh, look...

I know you and dad are still A little weirded out by this.

So I want you both To meet him

So you can see What I see in him.

I'd love that, but, um...

Can I invite him over To dinner next weekend?

Have you asked logan About that?

I wanted to check With you first.

Emmalin...

We'd love to meet him,

But there's, uh, There's army protocol.

Privates and generals Just don't socialize.

I really like him, mom.

And I want you guys To like him, too.

I know.

I'll take you two Out to dinner,

Somewhere nice in charleston.

But no dad?

As head of the post, Your father can't look like

He's favoring one soldier Over another,

For his sake and logan's.

So I can't have my boyfriend Over to my own house?

I know it sounds horrible, Honey.

No, mom. It is horrible.

(kelley mcrae's "Johnny cash" Playing)

* there's a lot of people

I just don't get it. I thought she was doing better.

I just talked to her, And she was laying by the pool.

She just didn't want you To be sad, roxy.

Thank you, marda. (whispers) you're welcome.

It's nice To have you back, marda. Yeah, you don't have to Serve us. Sit.

Come sit next to me.

Just sit, okay, marda?

(normal voice) okay.

Betty always said that She didn't have any family,

But everybody does somewhere, Right?

I got a call from some cousin.

They're not even having A funeral for her.

They're just gonna cremate her And stick her in a shoebox.

(claudia joy) her ashes Should come here.

This was her home. Yeah, and you were more family To her than anyone.

You know, what is coffee Without cake?

I think I'll go get me some.

(clears throat)

You know, to hell With her stupid family.

We should have

A memorial service For her here.

Well, but I don't even know who To call to get her ashes here.

You don't need her ashes To honor her memory. No. We'll be here to do that.

Right. Let's have a wake--

A big loud one, With singing and drinking

And maybe with any luck, A fight will break out. (laughter)

She'd love that.

Yeah, I think we all would. Hmm.

(sara elizabeth fusses)

Specialist leblanc.

Ma'am.

Sir.

At ease.

Your request to return To your unit in iraq

Has been denied.

But, ma'am, my shoulder Is all healed.

While I was away, the spot In your unit was filled.

But I have wonderful news.

Due to your outstanding service In iraq,

I've reassigned you to The best infantry unit on post.

You'll be joining them In five days.

Thank you, sir. I'm gonna miss my old one.

Your loyalty is admirable, Specialist.

I'm sure you'll adapt To your new unit quickly.

So when do we deploy, sir?

Well, they just returned From a tour,

So it's gonna be a while.

I talked to your new c.O.

You're gonna be a team leader And made a corporal.

That will officially make you Part of the n.C.O. Corps.

Congratulations.

Thank you, sir.

Are we done here?

I think we are.

I'm sorry, leblanc.

The orders were already Put through and approved.

There was nothing I could do.

I understand, ma'am.

But being put In a team leader position,

That's a great thing For you.

Congratulations.

Thank you.

So how long Were you married?

A month shy Of ten years.

Jeez. What happened?

The usual, I guess--

We grew apart, We argued all the time.

(laughs) he told me once

He hated the way I backed out of the driveway.

What, That's funny to you?

Splitting up after ten years Of marriage, that's funny?

Well, it was The right thing to do.

I mean, we made a mistake. Why prolong it?

Because when you make a vow, You stick to it. Depends on the vow.

I mean, if it's a vow for My country, then absolutely.

I'll die for that one.

But a vow to stay together Till death do us part?

That's unrealistic. People change. It's realistic to me.

I'm not gonna stay with A guy I don't love anymore

Just because I used to be In love with him. No, you can't just Turn it on and off.

You either are, Or you never where.

That's not How humans work, frank. That's how I work.

Then why are you separated?

Wasn't my choice.

Well, if your wife wants out,

There's not a whole lot You can do about it.

Look, the quicker You get over it,

The better off You're gonna be.

You don't know a damn thing About my wife and me.

So tell me.

It's none of your business.

And my divorce is yours?

You're right. I'm sorry I asked.

(chuckles)

(slow piano music playing)

Oh, you're going down. Oh, I almost had you That time.

Almost doesn't count. Oh, don't get Overconfident now.

Mm. Gotcha.

Damn. Ha.

Crushed again. (laughs) you know, well, You were getting too fancy.

I had to Put you in your place.

Guess I better Get used to it, right?

A guy without legs-- Damn fascinating.

It's just curiosity.

Right.

Well, either they're Feeling sorry for me

Or they're feeling sorry For you.

Okay, well, I'm the luckiest person here.

(music continues)

My girl couldn't take it...

The stares.

She cried a couple times.

It's like lee anne stopped Seeing me as her boyfriend

And more like a civic duty...

You know?

Like she had to be with me, Or she was a bad person.

(music continues)

Hey, do you want To get out of here?

Yeah.

Mm-hmm.

That way everyone can have A nice long look

On the way out.

(music continues)

What's going on?

(music continues)

Sweetie.

Yeah.

You know what Private parts are, right?

Mm-hmm.

You know why We call 'em private?

Because they're only For us to see? That's right.

So did you show gil Your private parts at school?

Uh-huh.

Why?

Because.

Because why?

Because he said Babies come from there.

And I said no way, It was too small.

And he said I was wrong, So I showed him.

Okay, you're not gonna show him Again, though, right?

No.

All right.

Mom?

Yeah.

So how do babies Get into mommies' bellies?

Uh...

Well...

A woman has a thing Called an egg,

And a man has a thing Called a sperm.

And when Those two things meet,

They make a baby.

How do the egg And the sperm meet?

Well, uh...

Okay.

Um... Let's see.

(clears throat)

When two people Love each other, okay,

And they're old--

Really old--

They get married, Which for you

Is a long, Long time away, right?

They have this way That they love each other.

Mm-hmm.

So a mommy And daddy decide...

***

I want to meet your parents, But, um, I totally get

Why the whole "Dinner with The holdens" thing

Won't work.

I don't.

Um, you're all people Under those uniforms.

I mean, this whole army Class system really sucks.

Well, I'm not gonna be in The army forever, you know?

I mean, I like it, but it's Not gonna be my life's work.

Well, that is okay by me, Trust me. (chuckles)

Hey, um...

I was thinking about it, And, um,

You, uh, you're gonna be Getting out of high school

Around the same time

That I'll be Getting out of the army.

And, uh, maybe if you're not Too bored with me by then...

(laughs)

Oh, I still can. (laughs)

What news? Nato wants you to be

The deputy commander For operations.

Nato?

Mm-hmm. It's a position I had Myself a few years back.

(cheering)

I wasn't gonna say anything,

But, uh, only a party Doesn't really do betty justice.

The week leading up to My husband's deployment

Was pretty rough for me,

And everyone tried to help, But no one really could.

But betty had me talk about

All the horrible things I thought might happen,

Had me lay my fears On the table.

And I cried my eyes out.

And then she told me to go home

And see trevor Alive and in one piece

And asleep in our bed.

And I just loved her For giving that to me,

Because from them on, I'd know what it was like

When someone you love Comes home safe and sound

Like most do.

But...

Tonight...

Tonight I know What it feels like

When someone you love Does not come home.

I'm sorry.

Enough sad. Let's just celebrate betty.

Okay? (claudia joy) yes.

Cheers.

(indistinct conversations)

You don't want to do that.

(chuckles)

Oh, yeah, I do.

What good has getting sober Done me?

Absolutely nothing If you did it for roxy.

I've always done it for her.

And you've always failed.

Yep.

You need to stop Feeling sorry for yourself.

Trust me. I've been there. It's a very dark place.

I'm her mother.

You gave birth to her.

Betty gave her What she was missing.

Huh.

(rock 'n' roll music playing)

And now I'm jealous Of a dead person.

Marda...

Look at me.

(music continues)

It's time to step up.

Roxy needs her mom.

(music continues)

I hate doing this To you again.

Michael--nato. This is a huge promotion.

You'll probably get A second star.

And brussels is beautiful.

We should be toasting With champagne.

But I know how much You love your friends.

We both do,

And we knew This day could come.

(clears throat)

(exhales deeply)

But amanda's here.

(voice breaking) Sometimes I let myself think

That she's at school.

And that she'll be home For christmas.

I do that, too.

If we move away,

It's gonna feel like We're just leaving her behind.

Amanda will always Be with us,

Wherever we are.

What about emmalin? Hmm.

We should've never let her Get involved with logan.

Now she's attached to him.

Teenage crush, right?

Yeah.

She'll recover.

Maybe this is a blessing.

Things are starting to get A little too serious

A little too fast.

Still, it's not gonna Be easy telling her.

We'll tell her together.

(whispers) God, I love you.

(indistinct conversations)

Look, um...

We have to work together, And I feel--

Look, we're professionals. It's no problem.

About yesterday,

I lost my temper, Which I sometimes do.

Frank, it's okay. Seriously.

I think we should Talk about it.

(laughs) y-yeah, it is.

And?

Well, um, my mom sends me The good stuff,

So I'll make you some Tonight,
