"Oh, my God," Helen mumbled.
"It'll be okay," Will whispered to his wife.
"I expected better out of you, Detective," Lucy stated to Will.
"I'm sorry, Ms. Preston," Peters stated.
"Not, you," She replied.
"Oh," Peters said.
Lucy paced around the room, contemplating the situation. "Take him to the car," She stated to Peters.
"Yes, ma'am," He replied.
"Boy has she got him under her belt," Will said to Helen "I wouldn't be surprised if that were literal," she replied.
"Helen…" Will complained.
"I'm sorry, Will. I just can't handle her"
"Excuse me, Lieutenant," Peters said. "We can't get the cars started. It must be too cold outside"
"Looks like we're bunkering here for the night," she responded.
"I'm sorry, what?" Helen asked.
"You don't mind if we stay, do you?" Lucy replied with another question.
"Of course not. Make yourselves at home," Will stated.
"Thank you," Lucy responded.
A while later, when everyone was settled in, there was another knock on the door.
"Great," Helen sighs.
Will goes to the door. A man slightly shorter than he is standing in the doorway.
"Lucy!" he yells and runs inside.
"Nick?" Lucy questions him. "What are you doing here"
"I want you to take me back," Nick Thompson pleads, kneeling down in front of Lucy clinging to her hands.
"What? Did your latest girlfriend go off to college?" Lucy asks, not very sympathetic.
"Mock if you will," Nick states.
"I'm not taking you back"
"Please. Give me another chance"
"You don't deserve another chance.
Helen and Will have been giving each other puzzled looks.
The rest of the afternoon creeps slowly. They have dinner and most of the officers have fallen asleep. Joan, Kevin, and Luke have already gone to bed. Will and Helen are sitting at the dinner table along with Lucy and Nick. Nick tries to wrap his arm around Lucy, but she just moves away from him. Ty/Michael/God is tied at the wrists and is leaned up against a wall, asleep as well. Will helps Helen up from her chair, and they head upstairs.
Will us sitting on the edge of the bed, untying his shoes. Helen walks in from the bathroom, obviously stressed. She rummages through her suitcase, takes her curlers out, and obsessively fluffs her hair.
"What's wrong?" Will asked.
"What do you mean, 'What's wrong'?" replied Helen.
"You just seem… impulsive," responded Will.
"Impulsive"
Helen continues to fidget with the lace on her top. Will chuckles to himself. He stands and goes over to Helen. He places his hands on her hips. She looks at him with tired eyes. Will pulls her into a hug. At first, Helen remains still, then she wraps her arms around his neck.
"I just can't stand her," Helen whispered in Will's ear.
"I know…" Will states.
The hug breaks. Will unties Helen's bath robe and helps her out of it. He gently fold it and places it in one of the dresser drawers. Helen slides into bed and slips under the covers. She reaches over and turns off the lamp on the nightstand beside the bed. Will changes into his night apparel and climbs into bed, as well.
"Helen?" Will inquires.
"Hhmm?" Helen responds, already half asleep.
"I,… uh… found this magazine, today. And I wanted to talk to you about it"
Helen doesn't respond.
"Helen?" Will inquires, again. He moves closer to her and realizes that she is asleep. He smiles. He, then, leans down and kisses Helen on the cheek.
In the middle of the night, Helen starts to toss and turn. 'Escape (The Pina Colada Song)' starts to play in the background.
Helen wakes up on a sandy beach. Nothing but her, the waves, and the sand. She stands and looks down the beach in both directions. Suddenly, she sees Will and calls after him. When she doesn't get a respond, she starts to worry.
"Will," she calls.
Lucy Preston walks up behind him. Will puts his hand around her waist.
"Will? What are you doing?" Helen asks him.
Then, a tall teenager with curly blonde hair walks up next to Will. A ten-year-old girl with long dark hair runs up to Lucy. They all turn from Helen and walk away.
"Will!" Helen cries.
"Helen…" a voice states from behind her.
It's Ty/Michael/God. He goes to reach for her, but Helen turns and runs.
"Helen…" he states again.
She just keeps running.
"Helen. Helen. Helen, wake up," she hears Will say.
Helen awakes.
"You were having a bad dream," Will tells her.
Helen grabs a hold of Will, who is only half awake.
"What's wrong?" he asks her.
Helen just holds Will very tightly.
"Okay… It's alright," Will soothes Helen. He lays back down and Helen goes with him.
The next morning, Helen wakes up in Will's arms. She looks up and notices that he is reading a book, but he still has his one arm wrapped around her.
"What are you doing?" Helen asks, sitting up to Will's level.
"I didn't want to disturb you. You looked so peaceful. And after last night…" Will replied. He took off his reading glasses and removed his arm from around Helen. He looked at her and smiled, then kissed her on the forehead and headed downstairs. Helen sat upright in the bed with a perplexed look.
Downstairs, it is very hectic. Lucy Preston and Detective Peters are organizing everything having to do with the 'Michael Jones' situation. Kevin, Joan, and Luke are eating leftover pizza. Will is just standing in the middle of the room. Helen descends from upstairs wearing a beautiful floral blouse and khaki pants. Detective Peters is moving Michael Jones to the car, when he Michael Jones pulls a gun on Will.
