>> Simon: Yeah, we should go out for drinks sometime.
>> Jack: Put your hands behind your head Julia.
>> Julia: Are you gonna pat me down, G-man?
>> Jack: Officer, did you search the suspect for weapons?
[ Simon and Katie are in the background. ]
>> Julia: Hey since I don't get to keep the bouquet, could I have a slice of cake, just as a souvenir? [ The press assembles for the photo op ] Oh. Hi, guys. I'm Julia Lindsey Snyder, Jack's first wife. , Um -- should I smile? Or maybe I'll try and look serious.
>> Kim: That's enough. All right, come on. Let's go. Everybody out this way. Let's go. Enough!
>> Julia: Listen -- I know this is a bad time for you guys, but I just --
>> Margo: Julia Lindsey, you're under arrest for the --
>> Julia: A minute! Please!
>> Jack: No, forget it, Julia. You're not running this show.
>> Margo: All right, this is how it goes, Julia. I'm the arresting officer. You're the escaped felon with an amazing array of potential charges to your credit. There's assault, kidnapping, torture.
>> Julia: And I am sorry. I really am. That's -- that's why I came here, actually, Jack. To show you just how sorry I am for everything I did. Well -- maybe not everything.
>> Carly: How long have you been planning this? What rock did you slither out from?
>> Jack: Book her, Margo.
>> Margo: Julia, you have the right to remain silent.
>> Julia: And I will. Just as soon as I give Jack his wedding present.
>> Carly: Jack -- no, please. Please don't let her do this, Jack.
[ A nurse, pushing a baby carriage, enters the room ]

>> Carly: Oh.
>> Julia: To introduce you to Jack Snyder, Jr.

Location: Lakeview Hotel
Scene: Ballroom

SIMON FRASIER, KATIE FRASIER

>> Katie: Well, maybe we should head back to our little love shack. Unfortunately, this wedding is pretty ruined and -- Halloween is our special night.
>> Simon: Special? How?
>> Katie: Never mind.
>> Simon: Oh, yeah! This is the first year the trick-or-treaters could be at the cottage. I'll tell you what -- let's have a dance, and then I'll take you home to bed. So you can sleep. We've got a lot of work to do in the morning.
>> Katie: Okay. One dance. For a few minutes.
>> Simon: A few minutes. That's all I need.

SIMON FRASIER, KATIE FRASIER, LUCINDA WALSH

>> Katie: No! I'm tired of going to bed early!
>> Simon: Baby, you need your rest. Okay? And that's why I had the car brought around. Ta-da!
>> Katie: You borrowed Nancy's car. You did remember!
>> Simon: No, I didn't borrow it. No. I bought it. Happy Anniversary!
>> Katie: You bought it?
>> Simon: Yes.
>> Katie: Oh, my god! Oh! You are the best man in the world. I love you. That's where I fell in love with you. Two years ago.
>> Simon: All dressed up as a flapper.
>> Katie: Yeah, not for long. We sure did steam up those windows, huh?
>> Simon: Last year, as well. So this makes it three years in a row. That qualifies, what, as a family tradition?
>> Katie: I do believe it does. And just when I was thinking we were becoming like other married couples. Let's go!
>> Simon: Your chariot awaits, my love.
>> Lucinda: No, no, no! No, no, no! No, my darlings. You're not going anywhere. I want you to find that poor, misguided granddaughter of mine.

Scene 4:
Location: Lakeview Hotel
Scene: Outside

SIMON FRASIER, KATIE FRASIER, LUCINDA WALSH

>> Lucinda: Holden told me he's already enlisted you in the search for Lucy. Now, my darlings, I want you to start tonight.
>> Katie: Tomorrow.
>> Lucinda: No.
>> Simon: We'll start tomorrow.
>> Lucinda: No, you're not. You're going to start tonight. [ Lucinda sighs ] Detective Munson -- he's hell-bent on bringing Aaron to justice, whatever that means in this case. And I just don't want my poor granddaughter caught in the crossfire.
>> Katie: Of course you don't. But tonight's our anniversary.
>> Lucinda: Well -- nonsense! No, it isn't. You weren't married on Halloween. Now, now -- now, look here. This is an update. An update. Craig and Hal just missed the kids in Indiana today.
>>: Lucinda, Lucinda, please --
>> Lucinda: That means -- don't you see? That means they went from Webster University in St. Louis -- Franklin College. Franklin College, Indiana. Clearly, they are trying to make themselves inconspicuous on college campuses.
>> Simon: Well, that's a really terrific lead, Lucinda but we can do it tomor --
>> Lucinda: No, no, no! My darlings, you two -- in the college environment, you two can fit in and infiltrate much better than Craig or even Hal Munson. Come on! What are we waiting for? I -- I thought you always were up for a grand adventure!
>> Simon: You're not gonna leave, are you?
>> Lucinda: No. I'm not gonna leave, not until I get my way.
>> Simon: All right, fine. Fine. We'll start tonight, on the computer.
>> Katie: Absolutely.
>> Simon: We'll check out some chat rooms of the various colleges in the area, and we'll give you a full report by the morning, by breakfast. On your breakfast table, with your eggs. How's that?
>> Lucinda: That's perfect. Good night. Thank you.
>> Simon: Good night. Oh, let's get outta here.
>> Katie: But we have to work.
>> Simon: You ever heard of a coffee break? Honey? Well, we're taking ours now.
>> Katie: Oh, wow. I love a man who knows how to -- relax. I can't believe you bought this thing. You're insane. And I love you. Thank you so much. For the car, for everything. You always find a way to amaze me.
>> Simon: Well, you, my love, have amazed me now for two years. Two of the greatest years of my life. I love you.
>> Katie: I love you.
