Scene 1:
Place: In the air.
Location: Lucinda Walsh's private jet.
Scene: Cabin

LUCINDA WALSH AND SIMON FRASIER

>> Simon: So is there a movie on this flight or something?
>> Lucinda: Haven't you have enough excitement and melodrama for a little while? How are you holding up there?
>> Simon: Oh, fine. I'll be all right. I'm actually looking forward to getting home.
>> Lucinda: Oh, well, won't be long now.
>> Simon: How about you? You holding up all right on your end?
>> Lucinda: Me? Why wouldn't I be?
>> Simon: Oh, I don't know. You shot a man. I mean, Dante Grimaldi was no altar boy, but still, you know, it's gotta have an impact.
>> Lucinda: I'm glad I didn't have to plug Damien. I always liked that guy.
>> Simon: Hey, by the way, thanks for the lift.
>> Lucinda: The least I could do. Take your pill.
>> Simon: Thank you. A few months ago, if anybody'd told me I'd be flying high in the Walsh private jet, I would have --
>> Lucinda: I would've had us all committed.
>> Simon: Yes, exactly, that's what I was trying to say.
>> Lucinda: But without you, Lily would never have seen Holden or Luke ever again. You saved their lives.
>> Simon: No, I didn't. I just helped to set things right, that's all. It's the least I could do after everything Lily and I've put your family through.
>> Lucinda: She's a lucky girl, my daughter, to have a friend like you.
>> Simon: Well, I think we both are. Now, I'm pretty sure Katie doesn't believe it's just a friendship, but it is.
>> Lucinda: Oh, Katie, your little wife. I've forgotten about her.
>> Simon: I mean, I knew why I was helping Lily. But I think Katie believed that I was, I don't know, trying to relive the past.
>> Lucinda: Mm, she's more complex than I ever would have imagined.
>> Simon: That's Katie, all right, she's definitely one of a kind.
>> Lucinda: What's the story with the two of you, really? Do you love her? Or is she just a pit stop on the way to someplace else?

Scene 2:
Location: Lucinda Walsh's private jet.
Scene: Cabin

LUCINDA WALSH AND SIMON FRASIER

>> Simon: Katie -- she's different. She's definitely different. I mean, she makes you want to tear your hair out, she drives you up the wall. And then you realize that she's under your skin, and you wouldn't have it any other way.
>> Lucinda: Aww.
>> Simon: Oh, please, don't do that. Don't. Don't get me wrong. She's willful, she's immature --
>> Lucinda: She's borderline certifiable. And I mean that in the nicest possible way.
>> Simon: What, there's a nice way to call a man's wife insane?
>> Lucinda: She's just got personality. Various personalities. And variety is the spice of life.
>> Simon: Well, that is one thing I can always rely on Katie for. Life with her is never boring.
>> Lucinda: So you're not gonna answer my major question, huh? Should I doze off here?
>> Simon: What was the question? Oh, right. Am I in love with my wife? Maybe now it doesn't even matter. You know, I disappointed Katie when I tricked her into going back to Oakdale. And when Katie's disappointed, she has a very unique and special way of letting people know. She's probably packed my bags and plans to throw them at me as soon as I walk in the door.
>> Lucinda: Nonsense. She's pining for you even as we speak.

Scene 3:
Place: Oakdale
Location: Lakeview Hotel
Scene: Penthouse Suite

SIMON FRASIER AND LUCINDA WALSH

>> Simon: Katie?
>> Lucinda: You live here in Craig's suite.
>> Simon: Yeah, I guess we call this home. Oh, it's a step up from Bert's garage anyway -- rent free, private entrance, private bathroom, private bedroom.
>> Lucinda: Wonderfully dysfunctional and glamorous. You ought to lie down, my friend. Where's your room? I mean, if there's anything I can do to help, I mean anything, anything at all.
>> Simon: Please, I'm going to be fine. You've done enough already. Don't go to any more trouble. Just let me know if I can help with Lily and Luke at all.
>> Lucinda: They're going to be home soon. I hope. I've had some thoughts about you. And we'll share them at another time, all right. But you really, we got to get you to a doctor, all right? Or let's get your little wife, let's find your little wife so she can take care of you.
>> Simon: I'm going to be okay.
>> Lucinda: And I will withdrawal now. I'll make the phone calls from the car. And I'll be in touch.
>> Simon: Thank you again for everything.

Scene 4:
Location: Lakeview Hotel
Scene: Penthouse suite - Bathroom

KATIE FRASIER AND BRUNO PORTOLANO

>> Katie: How am I doing?
>> Bruno: You crush grapes like a goddess walking on bubbles.
>> Katie: Oh, yes, that is me, the Mighty Aphrodite!
>> Bruno: Was she the goddess of love or the goddess of beauty? 'Cause, you are both.
>> Katie: Oh, please, I'm sure you say that to all the girls.
>> Bruno: Hey, you know what they say, "In Vino Veritas." When wine's involved, I can only speak the truth. It allows us to feel our senses. It obeys, it drinks, it trusts. God, we can follow our senses, follow the call of the wild. Can you feel it? Can you feel it?
