Tad takes Hillary home they go in through her door. Tad hands her drink to help her sleep and Hillary reaches for Tad throwing herself in his arms. Hillary starts kissing Tad .Tad forgets himself and continues kissing Hillary .They both tear off their clothes and fall on the bed. Under the covers there’s more kissing and rolling about. Hillary falls asleep quickly but Tad wonders aloud
“How could I have done this to Dottie? What is wrong with me that I screw up every relationship?”
Tad puts on his clothes and writes a note
Dear Hillary
This was a mistake. I love Dottie .She’s my wife. This can never happen again.
Tad
Tad leaves and goes home next door but Mike has come home and sees Tad come in wiping lipstick off his lips. Mike thinks aloud as Tad goes into his bedroom.
“How could you Dad? Mom is the best thing that ever happened to us.”
Tad spots Mike and says “Hello sport sorry I was at the hospital. Chloe swallowed marbles you wouldn’t know where she got them would you?”
“No Dad I really don’t know. Mike says stumbling over the words starring at the lipstick beside Tad’s mouth
Mike then says to himself but we hear “Good Hillary must have kissed Dad in gratefulness all is well.”
“Is she okay? “Asks Mike wanting to believe Tad was at the hospital then he notices Tad’s shirt is buttoned crookedly
“I’m going to take a shower see you for breakfast and a half an hour.
Tad enters his bathroom and showers trying to wash off his guilt.
Mike is troubled he listens to heavy metal music and pictures:
“How could you Tad Martin? After everything I’ve done for this family. I’m leaving and I’m not coming back.” Dottie says to Tad
“Dottie please it was a one time mistake.” Tad says as Dottie slaps him
Tad is moping and says to Mike
“Now that Dottie’s gone I can’t keep you .you’ll have to go to foster care sorry.”
Back to reality Mike is on his bed scared and wondering what will happen
“Mom can never find out what Dad did. I have to do something to make that awful woman Hillary go away but what?” Mike thinks aloud
“Child abuse I could say she deliberately gave Chloe marbles that could have killed her then she’ll go to jail.”
Dottie is helping her mother pack but all is almost packed as Edna had hired packers all ready,
“I don’t think you should have left Tad with the she-devil Hillary. You ought to remember how she took your husband before Dottie.” Edna says
“Tad has changed his not Tad the cad anymore. He loves me Mama he loves me not miss fancy pants Hillary.” Dottie says
“Well even if you can trust Tad you can’t trust that woman she’ll throw herself at Tad the first chance she gets and he’s a red blood male and you can’t expect them to turn down free dessert.” Edna states
“Mama she’s not his wife I am .I’m the mother of his child not her. He loves me we have a good life.” Dottie says
“Yes well if it all blows up because of that woman don’t let her win you stand by your man hell or high water.” Edna says “Cause you’ve got what you always wanted baby and I want you to stay happy.”
“I will Mama as long as Tad loves me.” Dottie says
“Now don’t you go falling in that trap again Dorothea .You can live without Tad Martin but if you really want him and you’re sure he loves you then you stay happy.” Edna says
“Thanks Mama are you and my new stepdad Alexander good?” Dottie asks
“As good as will ever be .Men and their secrets .Alexander sure has a lot but then he used to be in the secret service. Oops I wasn’t supposed to talk about that forget you heard that.” Edna says mysteriously
“Secret service I thought they guarded the president?’ Dottie states
“Oh maybe it was another of those secret people the FBI or one of those other ones that spy for their country.” Edna says
“Mama are you in danger?” Asks Dottie worried
“No not at all he’s retired only has to do jobs for the government now and again.” Edna states proudly
“This sounds fishy Mama what do you really know about Alexander?” Dottie asks “Everything I need to dear. Now forget I said anything. Let’s just go to Breakfast at Piece de Resistance. I booked us a table.”
“Okay Mama but if Alexander starts acting weird or you are in trouble you come to me and Tad we will help you.” Dottie states “I’m going to get Tad to look into his background so don’t you tell Alexander that.
“I’m supposed to take care of you honey not the other way around.” Edna says sounding relieved
“Don’t you think it’s time Mama you’ve always been there for me it’s time I was there for you.” Dottie says
Flash to Mike who has snuck out to a phone booth one of the few left.
“Hello social services. I would like to report a Hillary….”
