You want some coffee, Kel?

Yeah, thanks.

CLARE: Are you doing Tara's laundry now, too?

Clare, would you stop it.

Tara's been a very good houseguest and you know it.

Yeah, she has, but, uh...

that's not it.

Then what is it?

This is a three bedroom apartment, Kel.

It's fine to have a guest for a couple nights.

But this has been weeks now without an end in sight.

She's getting her own place.

She's on a waiting list.

That's what you said last week.

Don't take this personally,

but, um, I'm going to stay with Steve until she's gone.

Why?

Can I be honest with you and you won't get mad at me?

Yeah.

Tara gives me the creeps.

I don't know why, there's just, there's something about her.

I totally respect what you're doing for her, Kel, I do.

I just feel put out you know, I feel like

I'm being displaced from my own apartment, you know?

You agree with her?

I, uh, I think it would be best for everyone

if she found her own place, soon.

I don't understand.

It's not like I didn't discuss this with you first.

I mean, you agreed to this

and now you're changing your mind.

I just don't think that's very fair to Tara.

The beach was awesome this morning.

The waves were huge.

Well, we better get to school.

DONNA: Have a good day.

Hold on, guys, check it out.

I found some great croissants at this cafe on the strand.

We're late for school. Sorry, we gotta go.

Yeah, we'll see you later, Kel.

Bye.

Bye.

I'll try one.

Hmm, they're still warm.

They don't like me too much, do they?

Tara, you can't please everyone.

Still, I'm freeloading in their apartment.

I told you, you can stay

as long as you need to.

I don't want to hear another word about it.

So, I hear you and Clare are playing house.

Big responsibility, huh?

We're not playing house.

She's just staying over while you guys cram, that's all.

I feel for you, Steve.

Clare's gonna get to see all your bad habits,

up close and personal.

I don't have any bad habits.

I know how to put the toilet seat down.

Ah, you've got Brandon beat on that one.

Aren't you late for something?

Yeah, yeah. See ya.

Did you break the bad news to her?

Did you tell her your big plans

to spend the summer together are canceled, huh? They aren't canceled.

Oh, you didn't tell her?

No, no, no, there's nothing to tell, okay.

I haven't even met with the guy yet.

I know you, Walsh.

You had a blast in Boston last summer. So?

So? You've got a great offer, from an even better newspaper,

they're grooming you for a significant position.

You'll never turn that down.

Never, never, never, ever and you shouldn't!

Steve, Steve, Steve, this trip means a lot to Susan, okay?

It's not that cut-and-dry.

Oh, sorry, Mr. Sensitive, touchy-feely.

Don't forget, Bran, men are men,

business is business and women...

Whatever.

(rock music playing through headphones)

So, what do you think?

Sounds good.

Sounds good?

What are you kidding, they're great.

And they want me to direct their video.

Hey, Joe, you want to listen to this?

It's a campus band-- Powerman 5000.

Sure, I'll take a listen.

I'm telling you, Donna,

all these guys need is a dope video

and they're as good as signed.

They're willing to put up their own money for the production.

I'm so psyched.

Well, they picked the right guy for the job.

Especially if you're this excited about it.

I told them we could do it this weekend.

But we're really up against the wall.

I mean, finals start next week,

and they're gonna be going on tour.

Don't worry about it. I mean, you're the best under pressure.

Yeah, I, I don't know, I still don't think

I can do this by myself.

Come on, Donna, you've got great instincts.

I mean, we work well together, what do you say?

Well, it's not exactly my thing, but they have a lot of energy.

So, uh...

can you help me out?

Um...

Okay, you got me for the weekend.

Great.

I owe you one.

Um, I'll give you a call later

and, and we'll get together at some point.

I gotta get going.

Here, you should take this tape with you and learn the song.

See you guys later. See you later, Joe.

Yeah, see you, Dave.

Thanks, Donna.

What was that all about?

Oh, I'm going to help David make a music video for this band.

Really?

Their music kind of gave me a headache.

What, you don't think I should do it?

I didn't say that.

No, I mean, I'm gonna be studying

for my exams all weekend.

Do it. I think you'd have fun.

And if you can listen to that all weekend,

more power to you.

You are so square sometimes.

And that's why you love me.

I guess so.

See ya, darlin'. Bye.

TARA: Sometimes I think if my parents

would have taken me back

everything would be fine.

But I made their life hell.

I kept thinking the more pathetic I got,

the more they would want me.

And now?

TARA: They didn't even tell me where they moved.

Maybe someday I'll get them back,

but now,

and for the first time since I ran away...

the world is a friendlier place.

I have a friend and people who care about me

and that I care about.

It's a real beginning.

Hey, Colin, is Val around?

Yeah.

Yeah, she was.

So, what does that mean?

Is she coming back?

I don't know, man.

(chuckles)

What's with the attitude, man?

David...

come on, brother, you don't like me,

you know I don't like you.

Don't worry-- the feeling is mutual.

Besides, I have this

standing rule about not hanging out with ex-felons, you know.

Hmm.

DAVID: Val...

Hey.

Hey.

I need to ask you a favor.

Sure. What's up?

I'm shooting this music video this weekend

and I was kind of hoping maybe we could use the club

for one of the locations tomorrow.

Now I talked to Nat

and he's fine with it as long as you are.

Yeah, it's okay with me,

as long as you're out of here before we open.

No problem.

Thank you.

See you later, Colin.

What happened with you and David?

Who cares?

I care. Well, don't.

He still blames me for bringing Kelly down.

One of these days, man...

Can't you just lighten up?

It's hard enough for me to be stuck in the middle.

Besides, don't you have enough problems already?

Can you believe how fast time flies?

We are already prepping for the grad school exams.

It seems like just yesterday I took my SATs.

I know.

It reminds me that I'm not going to be in school forever.

I'm just glad we're taking the summer off to travel.

I'm looking forward to putting my life on hold

for a couple of months.

Did you know that in a little town off Interstate 80

called Cauker City, Kansas,

there is the largest ball of twine in the world?

Can you imagine-- some farmer made it his life's work

and now it's the town's pride and joy. Huh.

You know I got a call yesterday from the Boston Globe.

They have a recruiter in town.

He wants to meet with me.

Oh, about a summer job, huh? Yeah.

They want to make a place for me after I graduate.

Wow, that's great.

It may not even be anything I want.

But you're warning me our, our trip may be off, right?

Well, I gotta go meet the guy, right?

Yeah.

No, I know you'll do what you have to do.

There you go.

Now you've got two drawers all to yourself.

Thank you, honey.

And I made room in the closet for you.

So, now this is kind of like your room, too.

Oh, you're so sweet.

Well, I've never done this before.

You know, lived with someone.

Well, it's only for a couple days.

Well, yeah, but I want to make sure it's a nice place for you.

That way I can be sure you'll come back.

You know what?

You can be so romantic.

Well, do me a favor, would ya? Don't tell anybody.

Don't worry, your secret's safe with me.

You know while you're here with me,

I don't want you to lift a finger.

I'm gonna wait on you hand and foot.

How does that sound?

Mm, better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick.

Well, how about a poke in the old...

Kelly, what do you think of my hair?

It's kind of mousy, huh?

No, not at all.

Oh, come on. Look at us and tell me

you don't see the difference.

I mean, you've got it all: style, flare.

I'll never be anything like you.

Well, maybe it could use a little pizzazz.

Hmm. Pizzazz is for girls like you, not me.

Why don't I make you an appointment at my hairdresser?

It'll be my treat. You'll see.

He does pizzazz.

He could do that for me?

Oh, are you kidding? He works miracles.

He'd have to be to do anything with this.

So, um, did Dr. Browning mention anything to you

about a place opening up in a rooming house?

Uh, yeah, she told me.

What do you think?

Please, don't make me go, Kelly.

Kelly, you're like family,

like a sister to me.

You heard what I said in group. I need you.

I know. I just, I have two roommates

that I have to think about.

How could you do this to me?

I thought you were different.

I'm sorry, Tara.

You-You can stay at our place until your place opens up.

Please, Kelly.

You promised you would never leave me.

I will prove to you I can be the best friend you've ever had.

Just don't make me leave.

Tara, we are friends.

I just think that it would be best for everybody.

COLIN: Hey, Kelly.

Hi.

How you doing?

Better every day.

Yeah, Colin, too. It's amazing

how things work out for the best, huh?

Hi.

KELLY: I'm sorry, Tara.

This is Valerie and Colin.

You were at

Steve's party, right?

Yeah, that was me.

Nice to meet you guys.

Well, we'll see you around,

huh, Kel?

Bye. See ya.

Wow, that's a really nice car.

God, I hate her so much.

I know I shouldn't feel this way about anybody,

but I do-- I hate her.

Because of Colin? She has been

after him since she asked him

to paint that damn mural at the club.

Come on, Kelly. You're just paranoid.

Besides, Colin's no good for you anyway.

I know, but I still hate her.

Well, anyone you hate... I hate, too.

I hope she dies.

Tara, you don't even know them.

It doesn't matter.

That's what friends are for.

All right, fine.

Fine, scratch devils and angels.

But I still think it would've, uh,

it would've worked if we intercut it

with the band footage.

David, let's be realistic.

We start taping at 8:00 in the morning.

Where do you plan on getting wings, halos

and cloven hooves to pull that off?

Well, that's what I was hoping you'd help me with.

Uh, yeah, but I'm not a miracle worker.

Fine, why don't you come up with an idea?

Well, I have been coming up with ideas,

and you didn't like any of them, remember that?

Donna, they're too soft.

This is a gritty song.

It needs a gritty concept.

Okay, fine.

Why don't we just keep it simple?

I mean, the song's called "Strike The Match,"

so let's just have

all the band members striking lots of matches, hmm?

Wow. That's...

That's real clever.

Well, it's more than you've had.

You know what?

If you don't want to help on this, just say so.

You know, I thought it might be fun working together.

You know, doing something creative?

I don't know why I asked you to help me in the first place.

Donna, where are you going?

I'm leaving.

You are being mean and rude,

and right now, you are

the last person on earth I'd want to hang out with.

Donna, stop! Stop, that's it!

That's perfect!

It's exactly what we've been looking for.

What are you talking about?

"The last person on earth."

It could be like a, a post-apocalyptic theme.

Like after a big war

or a flood or a famine or something.

It's so simple.

For wardrobe all we have to do is rip up old clothes.

Hey, that, that's not bad.

You know, I could do that.

You know what?

Maybe we could rent out, like, an old warehouse

and do real smoky shots

or make it look like a old alley or something.

Yeah, yeah. Okay, well, what do we do

with the drummer's girlfriend, though?

She could be the one striking the matches.

Everybody wants her

because she's got the fire, and they're...

they're tired of eating everything raw or something.

Right,

she's the last woman on earth.

And they need her for more than a hot meal.

That's it!

I like this. I think this is gonna work.

This is cool.

Ready for antonyms?

Okay, fire away.

Okay, "multifarious:

"A) Deprived of freedom, B) Deprived of comfort,

C) Lacking space, or D) Lacking diversity?"

D) Lacking diversity.

Correct. I didn't get that.

I did.

Well, antonyms are tricky.

The correct answer's never an exact opposite.

It's always nearly opposite.

What kind of career would require you

to know nearly exact opposites?

Hopefully, not air traffic controllers.

(all chuckle)

I say we take a little break

before we move on

to the ever-intimidating Data Analysis.

What do you say, kids? Who wants something?

I'll have water.

Clare, that shawl is beautiful.

Where did you get it?

Oh, it's a family heirloom. It was my mom's.

It's my lucky study shawl now.

It's one of the only things I have from her.

Well, it's beautiful.

I'm gonna get some tea.

Are we almost finished yet?

What's the difference? I'm sleeping over.

Besides, just by hanging with us,

you're learning from osmosis.

I'm bored.

I've already used up a week's worth of osmosis.

Very good.

Vocabulary usage in context.

You know, you should have taken

the graduate school exams.

Yeah, this is what I want to study for.

(giggles)

DAVID: Cool. Yeah, 8:00.

All right, I'll see you then.

Great.

The band is all set for the scenes in the After Dark.

They're gonna bring their own wardrobe.

And they've got some fans coming down.

Now, you're taking care

of the lead girl's costume, right?

Yeah, we'll get some hot pants, fishnets.

She has a great body, it should work like a charm.

Great.

Oh, don't forget lots of matches.

Uh, those wooden ones that you can strike on anything.

Right. Lots of matches.

Okay, everything's set.

(sighs) Great.

I gotta say, I had a lot of fun.

Yeah, well, uh,

let's not celebrate till you get it on tape.

(both chuckle)

All right, you'd better get some sleep.

Yeah.

Night, David.

Good night.

See you in the morning.

You have a really nice car, Val.

A really nice car.

Well, I just want this all to be over with

because my stomach is in knots.

Come on, Keats, it's good for you.

A little pre-test jitters gives you an edge.

Yeah, or a stroke.

Come on, guys. This is just a warm-up.

Next year you can be nervous.

Next year's the last train out.

If you don't have your act together by then,

you can kiss your academic future good-bye.

Ooh, don't get testy, so to speak.

It's just your life on the line.

Oh, to be an underachiever.

That's right. That's me, Clare.

Graduate School of Hard Knocks.

Well, I'm outta here. I'm late.

Good-bye. See you there.

Bye, Clare.

Honey, I'm gonna do some laundry, later.

Is there anything I can do for you?

Yeah, actually, the stuff on the chair in your bedroom, okay?

Warm wash, cold rinse.

Got it.

He's such a great house husband. Bye.

Mm, good wifey.

Uh, these voices in my head keep playing over and over,

"Time to put down your pencils,

time to put down your pencils."

Susan, you're putting way too much pressure on yourself.

There are more important things in life

than where you're gonna go to grad school.

Like what?

Where to do your summer internship?

Sorry.

Aren't you getting a little carried away with this?

This year with you has meant everything to me.

I just want to know, are we...

I mean, you and I, are we a part of my future?

Is this on the Data Analysis

section of the test?

Come on. I'm serious.

I know.

Look, all I'm asking is that you think about it.

And when you meet with the guy

from the Boston Globe about your job,

I just want you

to take into consideration what...

what you want to have happen to us.

Are you saying that if I take the job

and we don't go on our trip, then we're finished?

No, it isn't an ultimatum.

Good.

It's time to go.

(loud rock music playing)

(cheering)

Perfect. Cut it.

That was great. (music stops)

Yeah, it was good.

I'd like to try it one more time, though.

Oh, hey, sure, no problem. We can do it from the top

and then we'll move on to the next segment.

Oh, Adam, by the way,

when's your girlfriend going to get here?

We kind of need to get her in wardrobe.

Anna's still at Al's, taking care of the dog.

You're kidding?

Why didn't anybody say anything?

Why didn't you ask? I mean...

(groans)

All right, that's no problem.

Donna, you have the wardrobe, right?

Yeah, sure.

Great. Put it on.

Me? Yeah.

You're about to be the last woman on earth.

Colin, somebody keyed my car!

What?

Oh...

Hell of a way to start the morning.

Who could've done this? Don't worry,

it's probably just vandalism, some stupid kids or something.

This is not just vandalism. They know my name.

I'm calling the police.

I'm scared.

Thanks for the lift, Kel.

No problem.

I wanted you to meet Bernie anyway.

He was the only friend I had on the streets.

Here we go.

Hey, Bernie!

Tara!

(chuckling) Hey.

Where you been?

I missed you.

Hey, Bernie.

You look great. Thanks.

This is my friend Kelly.

Hi. Hi, Kelly.

Nice to meet you.

I was wondering if I'd ever see you again.

Well, here I am.

By any chance, do you still have my stuff?

Of course I do.

What do you think I'd do, hock it?

Thanks.

I used to stay back there

until Bernie caught me doing drugs and threw me out.

But he always stayed my friend.

I can't imagine what it must've been like

living in a place like this.

Living on the streets...

it's a character- building experience.

Here you go.

Hey, you still have that old camera I gave you?

Yup, right in there.

She's a heck of a photographer. Really?

Well, enjoy. Thanks.

And don't be such a stranger, huh?

Okay. Thanks, Bernie.

Nice to meet you, Kelly.

You, too. Okay.

Bye. Bye.

Sure is nice to have my stuff back again.

It's good to see a smile on your face.

Come on, let's go see how David and Donna are doing

on that video of theirs. Okay.

(humming)

Oh, no.

Clare's mother's shawl. She's gonna kill me!

DAVID: All right, now,

you should start here

and then when the chorus part comes in,

you should move down to right about here.

Okay, I'll give it a try.

You look great.

Thanks.

Well, we're almost done lighting and then we'll be ready to go.

Cool.

Wow, David really knows what he's doing.

Yeah, I knew Donna was working on this,

but I didn't know that she was going to be in it.

She looks great.

Do you want to stay and watch for awhile?

Absolutely.

Okay, I'll go get us some sodas. Okay.

This is all cool. We've gotta make sure, though,

that these two spotlights up here

are aimed on the center of the stage at all times,

otherwise we lose 'em. We need the strobe lights.

We needed those, like, half an hour ago.

We gotta find...

What?

Nothing.

What, do you got a problem?

No, I don't got a problem. You got a problem.

Really?

Just stay out of my way, all right?

Stay out of your way?

What, are you gonna make me?

Huh?

Maybe I will.

Hey, Nat.

Hi, darlin'.

Looks like the Peach Pit went big time.

Yeah, did you see Donna?

She looks like a movie star.

Yeah, well, it looks like they know what they're doing.

And what can I do for you?

Two cherry sodas to go. Okay.

Kelly, I need to talk to you.

What?

Someone vandalized my car last night.

I'm sorry to hear that.

What's that have to do with me?

Well, they scratched the words "Die Val" in the side of my car

and I can't think of anybody else

who wants me dead besides you.

Well, maybe you're not thinking hard enough.

You know, this isn't a joke.

I've called the police.

And you're number one on my list of people

I told them might have a grudge against me.

You're crazy.

And you're paranoid. Yeah, right.

Like you haven't had it in for me

since I took Colin away from you.

You did not take Colin away from me, I dumped him.

And you were the only thing low enough for him to crawl to.

You're a bitch, you know that.

You want to take it outside?

Glad to.

Hey, there's a fight next door!

Come on, there's a fight!

David, stop it!

Come on, man, let go of me!

Get off of me! Let go of me! I'm sick of this punk!

Nat!

Stop!

Come on! That's enough!

That's enough! Break it up!

I didn't start it, man. Man, I didn't touch

Valerie's car. You need to know what

you're talking about before you accuse people of things.

I know exactly what I'm talking about, all right?

Come on. Did Kelly put you up to this?

What?! Come on! Come on!

All right, all right, all right, take him outside!

Come on.

As far as I'm concerned, this shoot is over.

Nat...

David, I'm sorry.

She's right, man. Chill.

Damn it. Are you okay?

(sighs heavily)

Yeah, I'm fine.

We'll just get whatever we didn't get

when we move on to the warehouse.

David, I'm sorry.

She accused me of the same thing.

What's gotten into them?

They really are bad.

No wonder you guys hate them so much.

Mr. Dreesen.

Brandon Walsh. Yes, sir.

How do you do? Good, thank you.

Please, join me.

Thanks.

Sorry, I'm a little late.

I took my GREs today.

No problem.

So how's your year been?

Good, good.

Great, actually. Thanks.

Grades up? Uh, yeah.

Actually, I'm looking at a 3.5.

Very good. Yeah.

And I know you've been very active with The Condor.

We were very impressed with that copy you filed

for the AP on the Bradley assault trial.

Thank you. And then of course,

word got around town about the work you did

for The Herald last summer.

They were very happy with you.

That's good to hear.

I'm a big fan of Boston. Good.

Because we would like to have you come back this summer.

And I don't suppose I have to tell you

that working for The Boston Globe

would be a considerable step up

from your affiliation last summer.

Well, I understand.

And, frankly, Mr. Walsh,

we are in a very aggressive recruiting period.

We're prepared to extend ourselves

beyond a summer internship.

But that would take some commitment on your part.

Well, what exactly did you have in mind?

Well, we know you're gonna be a senior next year.

And, of course, it would be in all our best interests

that you finish your degree.

But if you come on board

with us this summer,

there would be a job waiting for you when you graduate.

That might make for a relatively

stress-free senior year.

Yeah, it might. Now, of course,

we'd like you to work from the bottom up.

But you'd be starting with a very competitive salary

and a full benefits package.

I don't understand.

Why are you recruiting me as a junior?

We like to make

special exceptions for special candidates.

We'd rather take you off the market

than have to compete for you next year.

Wow.

That's quite an offer.

We think so.

Wow.

You already said that, Brandon.

Yeah, yeah, I did.

I'm sorry.

And all of this is contingent

on me coming to work for you this summer?

Yeah, it would be a grooming period.

A chance for us to evaluate your strengths,

find out where you fit.

So what do you think?

Well, I was kinda planning on taking this summer off.

I don't think this is the summer to be goofing off, do you?

Let me make you some herbal tea.

You need to relax.

I just cannot believe the nerve of them to accuse me.

She probably keyed her own car just to blame it on you.

I wouldn't put it past her.

She's a witch.

Trust me, when you live on the streets,

you learn to spot the meanness in people in order to survive.

I just feel bad for David.

I wish he didn't have to get sucked into this, you know?

Maybe I will take you up on that tea.

Thanks for making that appointment

with your hairdresser for me.

I can't wait.

Oh, you're welcome. Just don't be late.

He was completely booked up this afternoon

and he is squeezing you in.

No, no, I'm staying here with you; you need me.

Don't be ridiculous. I'm fine.

Why didn't you ever tell me you were a photographer?

I don't know.

It didn't seem important.

I love taking pictures, though.

It was the only thing

that seemed to keep me sane on the streets.

I spent every penny I had on film.

And I took a picture of every person I met

and every place I went.

Hm. Sounds like a calling.

You think? Yeah.

I'd love to see some of your stuff. Me, too.

I could afford the film,

but not the processing and the printing.

Do you happen to know anybody with a darkroom?

Actually, I may be able to help you there.

Really?

Yeah, a newspaper would have a darkroom, right?

Of course.

Well, the The Condor must have one.

I'll just ask Brandon to do me a favor.

He would do that for you?

If I ask him nicely.

You still like him, don't you?

I think he likes you, too.

Another one of my instincts.

Oh, really?

Well, I'm going to go take a shower and a nap.

But don't be late for Umberto or he will kill me, all right?

I won't. All right.

That was great. Here, come on down.

I have another shot idea.

Okay, let me go, uh, fix my makeup.

Oh. Sure. Go ahead.

Hey.

Hi. Hey.

Wow. Look at you.

I didn't know you were gonna be in this.

Yeah, neither did I.

So, are your tests finished?

Yeah.

That's a... an interesting outfit.

It's my last-woman-on-earth costume. You dig it?

DAVID: Donna!

We're ready for your close up.

Yeah, okay. You know what?

This shouldn't take long.

Why don't you stay and watch?

Okay.

Okay. Bye.

Uh, just do the same thing you were doing.

Just try and keep the energy up, the sexiness. Y...

You know what you're doing. Feed the camera.

Uh, roll 'em, play back.

So.

How'd your big meeting go?

Great.

Great. That's good.

Good for you. Yeah.

Yeah, it's really good, actually.

You won't believe what they offered me.

Pray tell.

(sighs)

All I have to do is intern

for one of the best newspapers in the country this summer,

and, uh, when I graduate,

they'll guarantee me a job with full benefits--

if I want it.

Whoa.

Well, you deserve it.

You're very talented, Brandon.

What?

I'm not finished.

I don't think there's anything more to say

right now.

All right.

Then, uh...

let me show you something.

What?

This.

What is it?

It's incredible, isn't it?

What? W-What is it?

It's a tiny ball of knotted string.

A knot?

You want to show me a knot?

Oh, no, no, no, no, no.

This isn't just a knot.

This is the smallest ball of twine in the world.

And now that we've seen the smallest one,

don't you think we owe it to ourselves to see the biggest?

You mean it?

Our summer together?

If you still want to.

You mean you'd give up this incredible offer for me?

Well, the truth is, I already did.

Besides, if I wait until next year,

they'll have to pay me more.

You sure?

I mean, it is such a great opportunity,

and if you change your mind, I mean, I'll understand.

No, no.

We only have one more summer like this.

We should make it one to remember, huh?

Okay.

Honey! I'm home.

Hey, babe. Hi!

How'd it go?

Easier than I thought.

I'm glad we crammed. It really helped.

Ooh, wow. Beautiful flowers.

Yeah. They're for you.

Really?

What did I do to deserve?

Oh, nothing. Just for being you.

Oh. That's sweet.

You know, I'm gonna have to move in more often.

Geez, this kitchen is spotless.

You've been busy, huh?

Well, I try.

I know.

You've been really great to me, Steve.

Well, I really try,

and sometimes it doesn't always go the way I planned.

That's okay.

It's not okay.

Clare, something's happened.

What are you talking about?

Well, I-I did your laundry.

Did you mix my whites in with my colors?

No, I know how to do the wash.

Well, what, then?

Clare, don't hate me for this,

but I, uh...

I accidentally washed your mom's shawl

with the rest of the laundry.

Oh, no.

It's pretty bad.

Where is it? Let me see it.

It's, um...

How could you do this?

You knew what this meant to me, Steve.

Clare, I'm sorry.

Look.

I bought you a whole bunch of other shawls.

There's some really beautiful ones here. Look..

Look at this one.

It's kinda like that one, isn't it?

It's almost the same.

But it's not my mom's.

I know.

Clare, please, I didn't notice it.

It was on the chair with your other stuff.

I can't undo what's done.

I would if I could, honey, but...

You're not gonna forgive me.

I guess I deserve it.

As much as this meant to me...

...I forgive you.

You do?

It was an accident.

I know you love me and...

you'd never do anything to hurt me.

I wouldn't, Clare. I swear.

Come here.

You're a good guy.

I know my mom would approve.

God, I am so exhausted,

but I did have fun.

Looked like it.

Can you believe what happened with Valerie and Colin?

Donna, I promised myself

I wasn't gonna talk about them any more today.

Well, I can understand that.

You know, I have to admit, though,

sometimes I really like Val.

It's like one minute she's nice,

the next she just... goes off the deep end.

Like thinking that I would get up

in the middle of the night, go over to Colin's

and vandalize her car. I know.

I just hope the police catches whoever did it, you know.

Maybe you guys could make up.

I don't think that Valerie and I will ever

be seeing eye-to-eye on anything.

(door opens)

TARA: Hey, guys, I'm home.

Is this pizzazz or what?

So, how do you like the new me?

How could you do this?

Do what?

You know exactly what you did, Tara.

You sent me to him.

I-I just told him to make me look as good as you.

I don't want to talk about this.

What... what did I do?

Donna, what did I do?

Uh...

Maybe we just need

a little time to get used to the new you.

(door slams)

We told you she was weird.

She wants to be you, Kel.
