Scene 1:
Location: Frasier Cottage
Scene: Bedroom
SIMON FRASIER, KATIE FRASIER, MARGO HUGHES
>> Margo: I know that you're in shock. And you don't know what you're feeling. But you gotta tell Mike.
>> Katie: Oh, yeah, right. "Hey, Mike, you know how I said I'd marry you? I'm gonna have to pass. My dead husband's back alive."
>> Margo: It's not your fault. It's not like he's going to blame you. He was there with you when the warehouse blew up. He's watched you grieve --
>> Katie: I know. He's gonna want to know what I feel. I mean, I'm engaged to him, Margo. How do I tell him that what I had with Simon -- it came first.
>> Simon: I'll tell him then, Katie. 'Cause you and I are belong together.
>> Katie: Simon, it's just -- it's not that easy.
>> Simon: I'm not letting go of you, Katie. No way, not ever again.
Scene 2:
Location: Frasier Cottage
Scene: Bedroom
SIMON FRASIER, KATIE FRASIER, MARGO HUGHES
>> Margo: Got a hug for your sister-in-law? Oh, Simon I can't believe that your're alive. And I cannot believe what you are doing to my little sister.
>> Simon: Margo, I did what was best for both of us.
>> Margo: Do you have any idea what you put her through?
>> Katie: Oh, Margo --
>> Margo: I mean, first she almost dies trying to save your life. And then when she feels she'd failed at that, she almost dies of grief. And now -- poof! You're back from the grave?
>> Simon: Look, I understand you're upset. But there was no other way.
>> Margo: Oh, come on.
>> Simon: Trust -- there was no other way!
>> Margo: Please, there are at least a half a dozen other ways you could have gone about this. You could have come to me. You could've gone to Hal or Jack. But no, no. You decided to take matters into your own hands and made the situation even worse. Well, I'm sorry, Simon. This has gotta to end. You can't run forever. And if you think running back here is at all romantic, it's not. It's not -- it's not good for Katie. So, until you face what you've done and get the police on board, you just have no right to involve her.
>> Simon: Look, I know what you're saying, Margo, I really do, but I can't argue with you right now. Please. Katie, can I talk to you alone?
>> Margo: No, no, no. No Aussie charm behind my back. No.
>> Katie: No, Margo, please. I can handle this. Simon and I need some privacy.
>> Margo: No, I'm not gonna leave you alone with him and have you run off with him again.
>> Katie: I won't go anywhere, I promise.
>> Margo: Are you sure? 'Cause I can throw him into jail, you know.
>> Katie: No, just keep Mike away, please. I don't want him walking in here while Simon and I are talking.
>> Margo: You call me.
>> Katie: Okay.
[ Margo walks into the hallway. ]
[ Simon follows her. ]
>> Simon: Margo, please -- look, everything I have done, everything I'm trying to do is to protect Katie. So, please, you can't tell Tom -- you can't tell anyone that I'm here.
>> Margo: And you want me to trust you?
>> Simon: If you want to keep Katie safe, yes.
>> Margo: Simon, if you harm her, if you endanger her in any way -- I'll be the one you're running from.
[ Margo leaves. ]
[ Katie clears her throat. ]
>> Simon: You had to know it destroyed me leaving you like that.
>> Katie: What a coincidence. It destroyed me being left like that. Why did you do it, Simon?
>> Simon: I don't have time to explain to you it all right now. But I will -- I will. I promise. As soon as we leave Oakdale. Please.
>> Katie: What?
>> Simon: Katie, we have to leave -- now.
KKatie: No, I -- I can't just run off with you. Not anymore.
>> Simon: Please --
>> Katie: No. Things have changed.
>> Simon: Yeah, right. And by "things" you mean Mike?
Scene 3:
Location: Frasier Cottage
Scene: Bedroom
SIMON FRASIER, KATIE FRASIER
>> Katie: We have to talk about it.
>> Simon: Talk about what?
>> Katie: Well, we could start with the fact that you seem pretty upset.
>> Simon: Yeah -- yeah.
>> Katie: I don't -- know what you're thinking, I mean, I hope you don't think that I didn't care. That I just jumped into any old bed when you were gone. I don't know what Henry told you, Simon.
>> Simon: Nothing. He didn't have to. I saw you and Mike.
>> Katie: What do you mean, you saw us?
>> Simon: You were feeding Snickers and I was gonna surprise you, and then Mike came up behind -- it kills me, Katie, it killed me seeing you with someone else.
>> Katie: I'm sorry. I didn't know. I didn't even know I was still married, Simon. I'd lost you so many times, and then I finally found out that you're alive, and I lose you again. I mean, if it weren't for Mike I --
>> Simon: You what? Go on. Go on, say it.
>> Katie: If it weren't for Mike, I would have died.
>> Simon: No, you wouldn't have. I would never have let you die in that warehouse in Australia. You know that!
>> Katie: I know that, but you took away my reason to live. And Mike gave it back to me. Can you understand that?
>> Simon: No, no I don't. You are the only one I will ever love. And I guess I just assumed it would be the same for you.
>. Katie: I just owe him so much.
>> Simon: Oh, right, so that's what this is now? A debt of gratitude. What?
>> Katie: No. It's more than that. Simon, I'm engaged to him.
>> Simon: But you're married to me -- and you always will be.
Scene 4:
Location: Frasier Cottage
Scene: Bedroom
SIMON FRASIER, KATIE FRASIER, MIKE KASNOFF
>> Simon: You and I are husband and wife.
>> Katie: No, Simon, we're a lot of things, but marriage is 'til death do we part. And you are legally dead. They gave me your ring after you were supposedly blown up.
>> Simon: I had to convince you I was dead.
>> Katie: And you did. You took off your ring.
>> Simon: No, I had a copy made. This -- this is the real thing. Katie, this, is the only thing, for better or worse that has kept me breathing. You are the reason I'm alive. You are the reason I have come back. Do you still love me?
>> Katie: I -- I don't know what I feel or think about you right now.
>> Simon: You can't have forgotten this. You can't have forgotten this. You can't have forgotten this.
[ Simon kisses Katie. ]
[ Mike enters the cottage. ]
>> Mike: Katie?!
>> Katie: [ Talking to Simon. ] Stop it! Stop confusing me!
>> Simon: I want you confused. I want to shut you up. I want you to feel me again.
