Location: Oakdale
Scene: Kasnoff's Cottage

MIKE KASNOFF, KATIE KASNOFF, CARLY SNYDER

[ Katie screams ]
>> Katie: You've carried me over the threshold.
>> Mike: I might do this every day for the rest of our lives.
>> Katie: I have a feeling we're not going to unpack. Or even go upstairs.
>> Mike: You're right about that. I'm a show you what it feels like to be happily married.
>> Katie: What was that?
>> Mike: Simon Frazier, if you are in this house you're a dead man.
>> Carly: Did you just say Simon? Frasier? Why would you think he'd be here?


Scene 2:
Location: Oakdale
Scene: Kasnoff's Cottage

MIKE KASNOFF, KATIE KASNOFF, CARLY SNYDER

>> Katie: So as we left the island we waved goodbye to Simon for hopefully, the rest of our lives.
>> Carly: I hate that he crashed your honeymoon like that. Well, now here I am doing the exact same thing! Really what I meant to do was just sneak in, and put the champagne on ice and sneak out -- you never would have seen me, so -- I'm gonna leave now.
>> Katie: No, no, that was so sweet. Why the rush?
>> Mike: Stay, have a glass.
>> Katie: Yeah, tell us what we missed while we were gone.
>> Carly: You know, I was sort of hoping that you'd have one perfect day before you heard about this.
>> Katie: Why, what's going on?
>> Carly: I hate that I have to tell you.
>> Mike: What's wrong?
>> Carly: She was fine. Everything was perfect, really -- and then Jennifer came down with pneumonia. And there was serious complications.
>> Katie: Oh, hun -- we should go to the hospital.
>> Carly: I'm sorry. Katie, you're too late. She's gone.
>> Mike: What?
>> Katie: Oh my god. I don't believe it.
>> Carly: No -- no one can. Everyone's devastated.


Scene 3:
Location: Oakdale
Scene: Kasnoff's Cottage

MIKE KASNOFF, KATIE KASNOFF, CARLY SNYDER

>> Carly: She was buried yesterday.
>> Katie: No. Jen and Dusty -- they were just finally getting a break.
>> Carly: They were married in her hospital room.
>> Mike: Jennifer, I've never -- I don't know what to say. What's going to happen to the baby?
>> Katie: Excuse me.
>> Carly: I think that I should probably go now.
>> Mike: No, actually will you stick around a little longer? There's something I've got to do, and I don't want to leave Katie alone.
>> Carly: Okay. Is there something that I should tell her so she doesn't worry about you?
>> Mike: Yeah, yeah. Just tell her I love her.
>> Katie: Where's Mike?
>> Carly: He said that he had to go and do something. And he told me to tell you that he loves you.


Scene 4:
Location: Oakdale
Scene: Kasnoff's Cottage

KATIE KASNOFF, CARLY SNYDER

>> Carly: I know you're worried about Mike, so I think we should do something to distract you.
>> Katie: Like what?
>> Carly: We could make dinner for Mike, for when he comes back.
>> Katie: That's a good idea. Only one problem. We don't have any food in the fridge since we were gone.
>> Carly: Well, that's not a big problem. So we'll go shopping. That'll eat up some time.
>> Katie: You're really sweet. I just don't want to leave. I just want to be here when Mike gets home, okay?
>> Carly: Okay. Just don't make yourself crazy. He said he'd be right back.
>> Katie: I know. It's just until he's in front of my face, safe. I just -- he didn't say where he was going? I'm sorry I'm acting like such a baby. It's just that so much has gone wrong. Starting with Nick.
>> Carly: And then your ex shows up on your honeymoon.
>> Katie: And then Mike almost loses me. He just lost his cousin and he was terrified he was going to lose me. And then we come home and find out that Jennifer's gone -- I mean, how much does one person have to take? I should go find him.
>> Carly: No, you know what? I don't think that's such a good idea. Okay?
>> Katie: Could you call Jack? Maybe just have him keep an eye out for him, nothing official.
>> Carly: No, no. If you want a favor from Jack, you're going to have to call him yourself. As not together as we were when you left, we're even more not together now.
>> Katie: Oh, Carly, I'm sorry. I know that's not what you wanted.
>> Carly: No. Nope, but it's what I got. And it's my fault I made such a mess of things. But I'm going to start over. I'm gonna get a loan. I'm gonna start my own business.
>> Katie: Really, that's great! Good for you!
>> Carly: Let's hope so.


Scene 5:
Location: Oakdale
Scene: Lakeview Towers Hotel Bar

SIMON FRASIER, MIKE KASNOFF, NANCY HUGHES MCCLOSKY

>> Mike: Thank you for coming through for me, Nancy.
>> Nancy: My pleasure.
>> Mike: I know it was short notice.
>> Nancy: I thrive under pressure. It keeps me young.
>> Mike: You know, when I called from the islands, I must have sounded like a madman.
>> Nancy: Or a man in love. Same difference.
>> Mike: This just felt like an emergency. After the disastrous honeymoon and nearly losing Katie, it's not just going through the motions. They mean something.
>> Nancy: Indeed they do. Give my love to your beautiful bride. And good luck.
>> Mike: Thank you. I'll walk you out.
[ As Nancy and Mike leave, Simon enters. ]
>> Simon: Could I get a beer, thanks?


Scene 6:
Location: Oakdale
Scene: Kasnoff's Cottage

MIKE KASNOFF, KATIE KASNOFF, CARLY SNYDER

>> Katie: Hey, Mike! Thank god, you're home.
>> Carly: All right. Well, looks like this honeymoon is back on track. So, this is me leaving for real this time.
>> Mike: Thanks for the champagne.
>> Katie: Yes, thank you.
>> Mike: What's wrong?.
>> Katie: I was just scared. I just got scared when you left. All the "what ifs" started going through my head and --
>> Mike: I know. After everything we've been through I just -- I don't know. I'm sorry.
>> Katie: It's okay. It doesn't matter. You're my husband, I'm your wife, we have each other.
>> Mike: You know, it was bad enough when I thought I lost you. I mean, I can't even go there. But after hearing about Jennifer, it just drove it home, how precious every moment is. And why this can't wait.
>> Katie: What?
>> Mike: I called Nancy from the islands because I needed some help with something -- something that, you know, I figured I'd get around to sooner or later when we got back. But, you know, that's when it hit me. Mowing the lawn is something you get around to, or washing the car. This is not something you put on or off your to-do list. It's way too important.
[ Katie crying ]
>> Katie: It's my wedding ring. Mike. I lost it on the island!
>> Mike: It's the exact settings as the last one. Okay? The only real difference is this one never comes off your finger. I love you.
>> Katie: I love you.
>> Mike: And I cannot imagine my life without you.
>> Katie: It's not going to happen. I am not gonna leave you, ever. You are never gonna lose me.


Scene 7:
Location: Oakdale
Scene: Lakeview Towers Hotel Bar

SIMON FRASIER, BARTENDER

>> Simon: Thank you.
>> Bartender: Another?
>> Simon: Yeah, why not? I'll tell you what, let me run a tab. Keep it open. I'll settle it with my monthly hotel bill.
>> Bartender: Sounds like you're planning on staying for awhile.
>> Simon: Yeah, why not. I've got myself one of those top notch suites. All the creature comforts.
>> Bartender: What brings you to town, business or pleasure?
>> Simon: Well, my friend, if things go my way, and they sometimes do. A little bit of both.
