The trip's all planned, reservations are booked, and as we speak Izzy is giving John
the gift of lifetime! Practically a second honeymoon. John drove down this morning to begin their
family vacation and Izzy wanted to surprise him in person.
I have to admit that was one of my more brilliant ideas. Helping Izzy has made me
realize that maybe, just maybe,
I'm ready to get back to work. Nothing big nothing too extravagant but
Alex has booked a few more consultations and we'll start there and see how they go.
Alex still doesn't know anything.
But I couldn't tell him. There's no way he keep it to himself, and then he'd
ruin the surprise. Not that he'd ruin it on purpose it's just that he has the
worst timing ever.
And it's an intricate part the plan that the trip remains a surprise.
What surprise?
Surprise? Who said anything about a surprise?
I distinctly heard you say the word "surprise".
Really? Are you sure you don't mishear me from all the way out in the hallway where you were
spying again.
Actually, I wasn't spying this time. I just happen to be coming in to talk to you.
And it's not my fault you're always talking into a camera.
- Oh, really? What were you coming in to talk to me about? Think fast. - I wanted to see if you were free for lunch
But I thought you're having lunch with John so he could borrow you're camping gear for Joshua Tree.
I was but he canceled on me last minute. Which is really unlike him.
You don't say? Well, well, well. Maybe this is the beginning a whole new John Knightley
- What is that supposed to mean? - Oh, you'll see.
- Emma, what are you up to? - I can't tell you.
- Emma! - No really, I can't tell. It's not mine to tell.
- I thought we were doing this anymore. - Doing what? What am I doing?
Keeping secrets, going off on your own, making plans and not telling anyone.
No, this isn't work. I promise.
Because that makes it okay. Look, I want to give you your space but
be careful Emma.
What just happened? Seriously where did that come?
I know Alex doesn't always like the way I handle things.
Or the way I used to handle things... but this is completely different.
After everything that happened, does he really think I'd make the same mistake twice?
I've changed. I'm trying to change. Why can't he see that?
More than anyone, I thought he understood.
Emma.
- Izzy, what happened? - It's John.
- What's wrong? - He's upset. I don't think I've ever seen him that angry before.
- I didn't even know what to do, so I just left. - Why?
He refuses to go to Hawaii.
He wants the itinerary changed back to Joshua Tree immediately.
- What? - He said I had no right going behind his back that way
and he felt he felt deceived.
You didn't deceive him! You kept a secret.
It was a surprise. Surprises are, by definition, secretive.
- Try telling John that. And the expense -- - No, the trip was a gift. from me!
To John, that's the same thing is taking money from Dad. As far as he's concerned
I put me and what I wanted first and I didn't even bother telling him about it.
- That's what he does all the time. - No, it was my mistake.
I did exactly what he does to me. That's called being a hypocrite.
No. That's called fighting fire with fire. And sometimes, that's the only way to win.
I don't wanna win. I don't want to fight at all.
- But, Izzy -- - Emma, if there's a winner then there's a loser.
And when you have winners and losers in a marriage, everyone loses.
I'm sorry, Izzy.
Sorry isn't going to solve this, Emma. I wish I had never let you meddle --
If you'd just left everything alone, everything would be fine.
No, it wouldn't. No, because you would still be --
No! God, why won't you just listen to me. Just let it go! Please.
Izzy, wait! Izzy!
Izzy, wait, come back. I'm sorry.
