Scene 1:
Location: Frasier Cottage
Scene: Living Room

SIMON FRASIER, KATIE FRASIER

>> Simon: I fed Snickers -- and the other one.
>> Katie: Thanks.
>> Simon: Are you still cold?
>> Katie: Yeah, I just can't seem to shake it.
>> Simon: A warm bath used to do the trick.
>> Katie: That's a good idea.
>> Simon: No, no, no, please, you stay there, let me run the water for you.
>> Katie: You don't have to do that.
>> Simon: I want to. I miss taking care of you.
>> Katie: Yeah, I guess I've gotten used to taking care of myself.
>> Simon: But I'm home now.
>> Katie: Are you?
>> Simon: What have I got to do to prove that to you?
>> Katie: I keep having this dream. I had it again last night. Where I'm standing on the wrong side of that chainlink fence.
>> Simon: That fence isn't between us anymore.
>> Katie: I couldn't move, I couldn't scream. And I knew that even if I could you wouldn't be able to hear me. I just have to stand there and watch you walk away, get swallowed up by the fog.
>> Simon: The headshrinkers at that place you were in probably say that dream means that you don't trust me.
>> Katie: I don't, Simon.
>> Simon: Well, listen, after everything I've put you through, I don't blame you. But I promise you, time will heal us.
>> Katie: I don't think anything can heal this. I don't know if I'll be ever able to trust you again.

Scene 2:
Location: Frasier Cottage
Scene: Living Room

SIMON FRASIER, KATIE FRASIER

>> Katie: It feels so good to be home. To be able to soak in my own tub for as long as I like. How can I ever thank you for springing me from that hospital?
>> Simon: By trusting me again.
>> Katie: What do you expect, Simon? You can't just walk back into my life on and on and on again and just expect me to welcome you with open arms.
>> Simon: I never left you by choice, baby.
>> Katie: You never just left me, either. You left me broke, you left me believing you didn't love me anymore, you left me believing you were dead.
>> Simon: Listen, things are different now. Okay? I'm no longer in danger. The guilty are behind bars. I don't have to protect you from them anymore. Listen, I'm home.
>> Katie: And you'll never leave me again.
>> Simon: No, I won't. I couldn't stay away from you for one reason, pure and simple. I love you. >> Katie: Simon, those are just words. They don't mean anything anymore anymore.
>> Simon: "I love you" means nothing?
>> Katie: You've said it before. Right before you left.
>> Simon: And I will continue to say it over and over again. Until you start believing me.

Scene 3:
Location: Frasier Cottage
Scene: Living Room

SIMON FRASIER, KATIE FRASIER, HENRY COLEMAN, MARGO HUGHES

>> Simon: And I swore to myself, if I ever got the chance to kiss you again, if I ever got the chance to be with you again, I'd never let you go.
>> Henry: Oh, my god. You're home. Hey, and you're home! This is terrific! I knew you'd bust out of that place! Give us a hug, huh? Look at you. Look at you. God, you're beautiful. Isn't she beautiful?
>> Simon: She is perfect.
>> Henry: She's perfect.
>> Henry: And you, you sly dog, you. How'd you manage to free her from that funny farm?
>> Katie: Actually, that's a good question. How did you know I was there?
>> Henry: He saw my ad. Yes, you did. You saw my ad in "Soldierof Fortune." My brilliant ad. The one I put in code. Letting him know you were in trouble, where to find you -- and it worked! I'm so good sometimes I scare myself.
>> Simon: I've got to hand it to you, Henry. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have known my wife was in trouble.
>> Henry: Well, I'd do anything for Bubbles. You know that, don't you, Katie?
>> Katie: Yes, I do. Thank you so much. That place was awful. No one would listen to me, no one believed me -- I thought I'd never get out. I am never going back.
>> Katie: Margo! What are you doing here?
>> Margo: Dr. Tanner was wondering where his favorite patient had gone. My, how embarrassing. I guess my invitation to the homecoming party got lost in the mail.

Scene 4:
Location: Frasier Cottage
Scene: Living Room

SIMON FRASIER, KATIE FRASIER, HENRY COLEMAN, MARGO HUGHES

>> Katie: I can't go back to that hospital, Margo! Please don't make me go back there!
>> Margo: Wait. First things first, okay? Thank god you're all right.
>> Simon: Listen, Margo, they were pumping her full of drugs. There was absolutely nothing wrong with her. I had to get her out of there.
>> Margo: I hope that it's good to see you again, Simon. I kind of thought we said good-bye for the last time last time.
>> Simon: I came back for Katie.
>> Margo: Henry, I guess your ad in "Soldier of Fortune" magazine paid off.
>> Katie: You knew about that? That means you wanted Simon to save me! That means I'm not going back to Deerbrook. Please.
>> Margo: Baby, I'm sorry, I'm obligated by the state to return you to full-time care. But in light of Henry's information, I don't know that Deerbrook is the place for you.
>> Katie: What information?
>> Henry: Long story. Short version? Katie's not safe in that booby hatch.
>> Simon: Why isn't she released into my care? Come on, I'm still her husband, right?
>> Margo: Do we even know how long you'll be staying this time?
>> Simon: We, we do. I'm here legally now, Margo. The threats are gone. The danger's gone. Here. My passport. You hold on to that because I'm not going anywhere.
>> Margo: Are you okay with this?
>> Katie: Could I be released into your care?
>> Margo: I'll check into it. But I think because Simon is your husband it's going to carry more weight.
>> Katie: It would just be for the remained of the 30 days, right?
>> Margo: Yeah, I think so.
>> Katie: Okay. All right. I'll do it.
>> Margo: Okay. I'll see what I can do. I love you.
>> Katie: I love you. Thank you.
[ Margo leaves ]
>> Katie: I'll go make us something to drink.
>> Simon: I'll give you a hand.
>> Henry: Hey, wait. Not so fast. It's so good to see you. And we need to have a little chat.

Scene 5:
Location: Frasier Cottage
Scene: Living Room

SIMON FRASIER, KATIE FRASIER, HENRY COLEMAN

>> Henry: I've got to hand it to you, man. Finding the clue in that magazine and saving Katie from the nuthouse -- you really went above and beyond.
>> Katie: Well, she is my --
>> Henry: But if you break her heart again, I'll kill you.
>> Simon: It won't happen again, because I'm here now. For good.
>> Henry: Does Katie know that?
>> Simon: I've told her. She doesn't believe it yet, but she will. She's been through a lot. >> Henry: You've put her through a lot.
>> Simon: I know, and I'm sorry about that. I'll spend the rest of our lives making it up to her. I promise. She just needs time.
>> Katie: I made some iced tea and -- I forgot the cookies.
>> Simon: That's fine. I'll grab them.
>> Katie: An ad in "Soldier of Fortune," huh?
>> Henry: It seemed like a good idea. At the time. I thought you'd be over the moon to see the old sheep shearer again. Did I do the wrong thing? If you want him gone, he's gone, on the next plane.
>> Katie: That's fine, Henry. But at least Simon knows I'm not crazy. That's more than I can say for Mike.
>> Henry: Maybe in order to sort these things out I should give you two a little alone time.
>> Katie: No, you don't have to leave.
>> Henry: I'll see you later, huh?
>> Katie: You're not going to tell me what I'm supposed to do?
>> Henry: You know what to do, you invented it. Follow your heart.
[ Henry leaves ]
[ Phone rings ]
>> Henry: I was just thinking about you. Are you decent? Because I'm on my way over as we speak. Great. I'll see you in five.

Scene 6:
Location: Frasier Cottage
Scene: Living Room

SIMON FRASIER, KATIE FRASIER

>> Simon: Here we go. Just the way you like them. Careful. They're hot.
>> Katie: I'll let them cool then.
>> Simon: Good idea. So -- you don't have to tell me what happened with Mike, but it must have been pretty big, huh? If you end up in a mental institution nowhere to be seen.
>> Katie: It's -- complicated.
>> Simon: He swore he was going to take care of you. He didn't.
>> Katie: Well, it's not all his fault.
>> Simon: What do you mean?
>> Katie: There was this woman. She was trying to use Mike, and I was trying to warn him although every time I tried to do something she would just make it look like I was having delusions or something. Pretty soon after a while everybody thought I was going crazy.
>> Simon: No. He's the one who's crazy if he didn't believe you. He's the one who's crazy if he pushed your love away.
>> Katie: You did, too.
>> Simon: Yeah, but I'm back. I'm here. I'm home. Just look at me. Look at me. I love you so much. I'll never let anything bad happen to you again.
