Previously on "Army Wives" You've been lying to me for weeks. You are totally grounded. - You can't do that. - Watch me! I did not expect to be selected for the army war college. You accept that invitation, this marriage is over. (Gloria) "Dear Gloria, it turns out your ex-husband's in my platoon. He found out we're writing each other so we have to put things on hold until I get back." Blah, blah, blah, blah. struck by a car. Oh, my God. Penny. No cardiac activity. I'm calling it. (Monitor emits continuous tone) We tried so hard to save her. (Gloria's voice) "Dear Hector, you have a son." (Tucker barking) Hush, Tucker. I'm coming. Y'all need to get moving. (Food clinks in bowl) There you go. Ugh. Where's your brother and sister? I start trumpet lessons today. (Sighs) $250? Oh, good. It says we can rent one. I want my own. Well, if you stick to music lessons, unlike karate, then maybe we'll talk about getting one later, okay? Yes, ma'am. All right. Tell Gabe and Nyah we're leaving. (Sighs deeply) Right home after school today, Caroline. You don't have to tell me a thousand times. (Chuckles) Shut up! I didn't say anything. I didn't. Just go get ready for school, okay? What's she yelling at me for? I'm not the one who got caught drinking. (Holly) Gloria. I can't stop thinking about Penny and how she was all alone when she died. I know. I mean that poor girl's parents didn't even come to claim her body. They just shipped her down to Florida like some package. Who knows if anybody even went to the funeral? Well, at least the baby's healthy, right? And and in loving hands. Life's not fair. That's all. Good people die, and others let you down. (Sighs) (Indistinct conversations) Hey. Is that your kid? Uh, yeah. (Sniffles) Let me see. Oh, wow. She's beautiful. It's a boy, Truman. Oh. I thought that was a pink hat. What, are you blind? It's blue. Hey, Corporal, come check out Cruz's kid. (Laughs) Well, look at that. Congratulations, daddy. Yeah. It's weird, though. I mean, that's my son, but He's not really my son, you know, Corporal? I mean, I don't get to raise him or anything. Yeah, but you still get to see him, though, right? The people who adopted him live in Charleston. Yeah, but it's not the same. (Sniffles) I messed up. I cheated on my wife. I got another girl pregnant. You learn from it, Cruz. And you move on. I guess. I just wish I could start over. (Indistinct conversations continue) Roger that, six. I'll brief the platoon, over. (Man) Roger. Bravo six out. (People speaking indistinctly) What's the word, sir? We're going home. (Gasps) (Gasps) You heard? They're coming home! (Both laugh) Wow. They're coming home. * That's great, Jackie. (Indistinct conversations) Am I missing something? You mean he didn't tell you? Tell me what? Pat dumped me. What? Yeah. In a letter I got last week. I had no idea. I Gloria, I'm I'm so sorry. What are you apologizing for? You didn't break up with me. Besides, it's what you wanted, isn't it? That's not fair. Really? (Gasps and giggles) They're coming home! (Squeaks) * (Holly laughs) Well, it's all over post, Frank. I don't have many details, but the 32nd's redeploying, right? Not all the division. (Sighs) Not you, apparently. It's phased withdrawal, D. I'll be the last man out with the brigade. Any idea when that will be? No, not at this time. Right. (Exhales) Comes with the job, D. Mm. You don't have to tell me. This ain't my first rodeo, cowboy. Yeah, I know it isn't. (Chuckles) Believe me, I know. Well, you got a big welcome here whenever you get home. That's what keeps me going. Don't ever forget that, huh? No, I don't. (Patrick) Based on the timeline from brigade, we'll be leaving in the next seven to ten days. That means no more re-supply. Everything goes out. Nothing comes in. By the time you leave here, you shouldn't have anything left can't be carried in your ruck. Exactly, and Reno these hooches, towers, sheds It's all coming down. We don't want to leave anything behind the enemy can use. Excuse me, sir. So we're not handing Reno over to the A.N.A.? No. This outpost along with Kansas will be dismantled. We're abandoning the valley, sir? That's the plan. Why? Above your pay grade, Truman. Mine, too. Okay. We're still a long way from home and a lot can happen in the next week. You need to keep your heads in the game. Gentlemen the enemy has eyes on us. He'll know we're leaving. And he may want to say good-bye. Stay alert. That's all. The division will be redeployed at battalion level beginning next week. Have a seat. Well, I think it's good news, sir. If we're not there to do our job, then the division should come home. Uh, my personal opinion, sir. I didn't realize you were such a critic, Joan. Apologies, sir. I shouldn't have spoken. No, no. I'm interested. But do you think your opinion may be colored by the fact that you were pulled home prematurely? It's symptomatic, sir. When I was over there, I wasn't certain what the mission was anymore, other than getting out of there as quickly as possible. It's a policy decision, Joan. We don't make policy. Understood, sir. Doesn't mean I have to agree with it. No, but it does mean you have to abide by it. No question, sir. Something else on your mind? I noticed you haven't accepted your slot at the army war college yet. Roland and I still have some logistics to work out. Anything I should be aware of? No, sir. Okay. We're always learning from our last war, and there's gonna be plenty of debate about what we learned from this one. The war college needs good minds like yours to be part of that discussion. Well, I appreciate your confidence in me, sir. Always have. You've earned it. Let's take a look at this new timetable. Aww, that's beautiful. Thanks. (Plate clunks against table) How do you spell "hero"? H-e-r-o. (Latasha) That's right. (Deuce) Here. I'll help you, Nyah. Thanks, Deuce. (Maggie chuckles) It's nice to see them so excited. Yeah. Where's Caroline? In her room sulking, no doubt. She's been a total pain since I grounded her. Well, she's gotta be happy her father's coming home. Yeah, I'm sure she is, but the last thing she'd want to do is share that with me. It's three steps forward, eight steps back with that girl. Mm. She's a teenager, Maggie. Don't I know it. (Chuckles) (Cell phone beeps) (Gloria) The apartment's not available till the end of the month? Okay, thanks. No, I need something sooner. Bye. Hey, there's no need to rush, you know? Holly, Tim's coming home. I gotta move before he gets here. I I just feel like I'm kicking you out. You're not kicking me out. * Look, we both knew this day would come. You need to spend time with your husband, and I need my own place. Don't worry about me. I'll be fine. (Indistinct conversations) * (Knock on door) Caroline? (Maggie) I cannot believe it. She had to know I'd find out. She just doesn't care. Okay, dial it down. Eddie is not getting her off the hook this time. Maggie, take a deep breath and try her cell again. (Exhales deeply) She's probably just running around with her friends. That's all. Voice mail. It's me again, Caroline. Trust me, whatever you are doing is not worth the price you are gonna pay if you do not walk through that front door in the next 20 minutes. (Ringing) * * * Hey. So you see any guys you like? Um, one or two, but they're talking to other girls. Then we've got to show these boys what they're missing. What do you mean? Come with me. (Chuckles) * * * - See? - Cool. Excuse me. * * Hey. A girl like you shouldn't be dancing alone. (Laughs) That's okay. You from around here? Yeah. - You go to U.C.? - No. College of Charleston? * I'm at S.C.C. Football team. Outside linebacker. That's cool. * Hey, what's up? Just thirsty. That's all. I'm gonna get a drink. I hear that. * Sports camp? Yeah, Tanner went last year. He said it was awesome. You just play basketball all day long? (Chuckles) Well, basketball, football, and baseball. (Sighs) For two weeks. Yeah. It sounds great, doesn't it? Uh, I don't know if I want you away that long all by yourself. I'm not gonna be alone. Tanner will be with me. Yeah, but I was hoping we could be together as a family this summer. What difference does it make? What's that mean? I mean, we're hardly together anymore as it is. That's temporary. (Cell phone rings) (Ring) (Ring) I've gotta take this. (Ring) (Sighs) Colonel Burton. Really? At this hour? We'll talk about this later, David. When? Look, I've got to get a sitter to cover the kids. I can meet you at the airfield in 30 minutes. I'm beginning to think Frank and Kevin will be the last soldiers to leave Afghanistan. (Chuckles) Jackie? Sorry. I had a little run-in with Gloria today. It's nothing. Well, it doesn't sound like nothing. I went to the hump bar to tell her about Patrick coming home, and I thought she'd be ecstatic. Instead, she told me that he dumped her. Ouch. I had no idea. And then she accuses me of being happy that Patrick broke up with her. I mean, it's it's not fair. I mean, despite any misgivings I may have had about the two of them, I have gone out of my way not to interfere. I know you did. Well, that doesn't sound like Gloria. You know, she's been through a lot lately. Penny was just killed a few days ago. Of course. You're right. I just wasn't expecting it. That's all. Hey. Let's not forget the good news. Patrick is coming home. (Chuckles) You're right. Okay. That's great news. (Clinks) How much is the deposit? Great. I I can be there tomorrow morning to check it out. Perfect. Thanks. Wow. That didn't take long. It's not definite, but it sounds like it could work. Holly, why do you look like I just shot your rabbit? (Exhales) I'm just gonna miss you. That's all. We see each other at work every day. I know, but Hey. I'm gonna miss you, too. It's not gonna be the same, not waking up to a constant stream of chatter from sunrise to sunset. (Laughs) (Laughs) Ah, it's gonna be fine. Mm. We're all gonna be fine. Sorry I'm so late. Crisis of the moment. (Lowered voice) I can imagine. How were the kids? Wonderful, like always. David went to sleep on schedule, but Sara Elizabeth wanted to wait for you, so (Chuckles) I couldn't get her to go upstairs. It's fine. (Laughs) Thank you. Good night. Good night. Here we go, baby. Jenna? Jenna? (Indistinct conversations) There you are. I didn't know what happened to you. How about that dance? Sorry. I can't right now. Why not? Maybe later, okay? Jenna? If you're looking for your friend, she took off with that dude. She wouldn't leave without me. She's my ride. What can I tell you? You know, I got a car. You need to go somewhere? No, I'm fine. Jenna! I'm telling you, she's gone. I cannot believe this. Hey, it's cool. Hang out a while. Excuse me. I have to go. I told you, I can give you a ride. Leave me alone. (Indistinct conversations continue) * Come on. Let me in. I just want to talk to you. * (Cell phone rings) Caroline. (Music playing indistinctly over phone) (Caroline) Maggie, I'm in trouble. (Knock on door) (Man) Come on. Let me in. I just want to talk to you. What's going on? I need you to come get me. Please. (Indistinct conversations) Where's Caroline Hall? * Caroline? (Indistinct conversations continue) (Knock on door) Come on. Let me in. Excuse me. Caroline? Maggie? It's okay. You can come out now. Take a walk. * Hey, wait a minute. I said wait a minute. Ohh! (Groans) (Indistinct murmurs) We were just leaving. Any objections? (Grunts) My arm. Ahh. (Pants) * Careful. It's hot. Good? Did he touch you? Do anything to you? No. He wanted to, though. Thanks for getting me. I know what it's like. I can't see any guy making you run away and hide. When I was your age, I was really wild drinking, drugs, guys. Lots of bad choices. I always had to learn things the hard way. Too many things. I'm really sorry about tonight. What's done is done. The question is, what's next? What do you mean? You're not a kid anymore, Caroline. Not quite a woman yet, either, but you will be, soon. Guys already see you that way, obviously. You have to be careful. I know. No matter what your father or I might want for you, you're gonna have to make your own choices, like tonight. And you have to live with the consequences. It's not a game to see what you can get away with. I know you haven't had it easy. And I know it can make you angry. But it comes down to this you can either take control of your life or you can let your feelings control you. Is that what you did, took control? Basically. But not before I got knocked up in high school and then married the ***. Look, I'm giving it to you straight because I want you to trust me. I'd like us to be friends. Dad's gonna freak out when he hears about this. I don't think he needs to know. Do you? Okay, then. Thanks, Maggie. (Barking) Girl, hold still. It hurts. Well, it wouldn't hurt if you'd stop wiggling like a little worm. (Continues barking) Tucker, I hear you. Deuce, will you take the dog for a walk? I'm eating. Well, finish up. That animal's driving me nuts. I'll do it. You're too small, honey. - No, I'm not. - (Barking continues) Deuce. In a minute. If you keep yanking your head away from me, I'm sending you to school with crazy hair. (Tucker snuffles) Gabe, what are you doing? (Tires squeal, horn honks) (Tucker yelps) (Barking) Tucker! All right. Easy now. Be gentle with him. The stitches will dissolve in two weeks or so. Tucker's leg should be as good as new. Ah, thank goodness. I'd like to see him for a follow-up, though. Of course. You can make an appointment with Judy. Be a good boy now, Tucker. No more running around without a leash. We'll see to it, won't we, kids? Yes, ma'am. Thank you so much. Happy to help. Hi. Uh, I need an appointment in two weeks. Certainly. And here's your bill for today. $520? It's all itemized. No, I get it. Uh, do you have some kind of a payment plan? I could, uh, break it into four monthly payments. Would that work? I'd appreciate it. (Holly) I wish you'd have been there with me. I'm sure you did fine all by yourself. I don't know. Come on. Let's have a look. (Sighs) Okay. I bought three different kinds. Is that okay? Well, in my experience, it only takes one, but I suppose it's nice to have some options. That's what I thought, too. Okay. What do you think? Nice. Plain but nice. What's behind door number two? All right. Now that is a choice. Y you like it? The question is, do you like it? Uh, well, it's a little daring for me. Yeah, that might be daring for me, too. - Really? - Yeah. I I say return it and get your money back. (Exhales) Okay. Oh, that's kind of a relief, actually. (Chuckles) (Laughs) Okay, I really hope you like this one. Now that is you. Really? Absolutely. It's cute, tasteful. Sexy? Yeah, but not crazy sexy. Okay, 'cause I wasn't sure about the trim. Trust me, that ain't gonna matter. You wear that, Tim will go wild. Oh, thank you. (Laughs) Okay. You want to check out perfumes now? How many did you buy? Only five. (Both laugh) (Knock on door) (Woman) Ma'am. General holden called. He said the war college needs an answer by the end of the day. Thank you. (People speaking indistinctly) (Exhales deeply) (Clicks keypad key) Roland. I've made up my mind. Hey, Denise. Get my voice mail? Yeah. I know I owe you a call, but I've been super busy. * Look, the truth is, I don't belong at your party. I'm not an army wife anymore and I'm not going out with Patrick either. Okay. I don't see why any of that should stand in the way of our friendship or your friendship with Holly or Latasha or Maggie or Jackie. I don't think Jackie's too eager to see me. Yeah, she told me things got a little tense. Yeah. Everything's just so complicated, you know? With Penny dying, the baby, Patrick. Sounds to me like you could use a night to unwind. I don't know, Denise. (Sighs) Look, I have known Jackie for a long time. She might wait for you to make the first move, but she's a forgiving person. I just don't think I'm ready. Your call. * This is outlaw base, over. (Frank) This is saber six. Be advised that recent intel reports that villages in the vicinity of firebase Reno have been abandoned. When I say "abandoned," I mean not a person, chicken, or goat is left. Those villages are completely empty. And that is not a good thing, over. Roger that. It sounds like the locals got wind something's up. Yeah, that's exactly what it sounds like. So keep your eyes open. Report anything out of the ordinary, understood? Wilco, six. Saber six out. (Receiver clatters) Sir, I'll up security to 75%. Make it happen, Sergeant. Yes, sir. (Indistinct conversations) Something bothering you, John? Just a little nervous is all, sir. Well, hell, I'm a lot nervous. We are stretched so thin out there, I don't even want to think about it. (Glasses clink) (Woman) Whoo! To bravo company. (Women) To bravo company! (Laughter) So do y'all have any plans for when your husbands get home? I've got a few things in mind. Mm. Like what? Well, I'd stay away from those thin walls if I were you, Latasha. (All laugh) Okay. So we all know how Maggie and Eddie are celebrating. What about you, Holly? Uh I'm having what she's having. (All laugh) Well, listen to that. Our little girl's all grown up. Ohh, well, just remember, Holly, it's Tim's first deployment. What does that mean? It just means that he's been away for a long time, and there might be a a readjustment period. He might not be in the mood right away. He may want to eat everything in the fridge. Or he may want to sleep for 20 hours straight. Or go at it every time you're alone. Jackie. (Women laugh) What? I'm just saying that anything is possible. (Women laugh) Um, are you speaking from experience, honey? (Lowered voice) I'm not saying. (Women laugh) Well, all I'm saying is, be flexible. Mm. Ooh. No. (Laughs) I didn't mean it like that. (All laugh) Oh, no. You sure about that? (Chuckles) Maybe a little. (All laugh) I can't believe in a few days we're gonna be home, you know? It's just unreal. Here we are, looking out into Pakistan. Next week, I'll be on the couch watching the cards. (Chuckles) You know, for once, Truman, I was actually thinking the same thing. Get outta here. You're a Cardinals fan? No, ***. How unreal it all is. - Oh, right. - (Quincy) Hey, knock it off, you two. You're supposed to be working. Oh, we are, Corporal. Yeah, you're working at running your mouths off. I swear, Truman, long as we've been out here, you have not changed a bit. Yeah, tell me about it. Mm. At least I'm consistent. Yeah, consistently annoying. Okay, shut it down, now. Roger that, Corporal. Truman. Understood, Corporal. Good. So you got any big plans when you get home or (Doorbell rings) I'll get it. Okay. Gloria. Um, hey, Jackie. I I just Come in. (Sighs) Look, I I was gonna kind of build up to this, but since you're here, about the other day You caught me off guard. I know. And I know you had nothing to do with what Patrick did either. It doesn't make me happy, Gloria, knowing you're unhappy. That's not what I want at all. (Chuckles) I guess this whole thing's been a freakin' mess from the start, huh? I think we've both been in a difficult spot. That's a nicer way of putting it. Still, I was way out of line, and I'm sorry. Accepted. And as for Patrick, I won't make excuses for him as long as you don't bad mouth him in front of me. Deal. - Come on. - (Women laugh) Hey, everyone. Look who I found. (Gasps) Gloria. Hi. Let's get that girl a glass. (All laugh) So you gonna see your kid when you get home? Of course I'm gonna see him. I mean, whatever happened, he's still my son, right? Absolutely. That's awesome, man. Really. You know, holly and I, we want to start a family, like, right away. (Chuckles) Ah, I can't wait for you to meet her. - She is so great. - (Whooshing) (Booms) (Automatic gunfire) (Men shouting indistinctly) I think that's everything. (Dish clatters) Thanks. I wanted to thank you for including me tonight. Oh, of course. It wouldn't be the same without you. I don't know about that. Gloria I don't fit in anymore, Denise. I don't know where I do fit, to tell you the truth. Holly's got Tim, you've got Frank. Everybody's got somebody. Give it time. Life has a funny way of surprising us. Yeah, lately it's been hilarious. You know what I mean. I do. (Sighs) Thanks for putting up with me. (Sighs) Things will get better. Come here. Yeah. I know. (Heavy automatic gunfire) This is tower three. We are receiving heavy fire. Continuing to engage, over. Roger, tower three. Keep us posted. (Man) Tower one under heavy attack and have one wounded in action. We need a medic now! Medic is on the way, tower one. Hold on. Saber six, this is outlaw one. T.I.C., T.I.C., T.I.C., Reno is under attack by a large enemy force at this time, over. Roger, one. Continue to develop the situation and report back, over. - Roger. One out. - (Man speaking indistinctly over radio) I'll get eyes-on and report back, sir. - Roger that. - (Explosion) (Man) Negative. You need to head to tower one and help carry the wounded back to the aid station. What do we got out there? A lot of muzzle flashes. They're getting closer! Mother of God. Roger, tower one. What's your sitrep? - (Static crackles) - (Man) We have one K.I.A. Continuing to engage, over. Sir, we lost video. (Eddie) Break, break, break, this is outlaw five. My current location is guard tower three. I have confirmed 100 enemy. Say again, 1-0-0 enemy in contact, and that's just what I can see. We need air support and reinforcements asap. I do not think we can hold, over. Roger, five. You have authority to pull whoever and whatever you need to deal with the situation. Roger. I'll check the perimeter and see what we can spare. - Outlaw five out. - (Heavy automatic gunfire) - Keep firing! - (Explosion) Are we getting help? Just do your job, Truman. Get the mortars going. Mortars, this is Reno C.P. I need immediate suppression in vicinity T. R.P.-Two. - Saber six, this outlaw base. - Acknowledge, over. We are still in heavy contact and have confirmed large enemy force. Request immediate air support and quick reaction force. We are in danger of being overrun. I say again, we are in danger of being overrun. Get that Q.R.F. spun up now. Roger that, outlaw base. Quick Reaction Force on its way. (Heavy automatic gunfire) (Booms) (Flames crackling) Damn it. Collins and Rosetti were in there. We need more ammo, Truman. Go! (Gunfire continues) C.P., be advised we just lost tower one. I'll do what I can to fill the gap. Green, where you headed? Don't know, Sergeant. We were racked out. What's going on? Hayes, Ventura, head to tower two. I need maximum firepower in that sector, understood? Green, you're with me. Roger, Sergeant. Truman, what are you doing? We need more ammo. So does everybody else. Truman, I need you to run ammo to every position. Can you do that? Yes, Sergeant. Good man. Go. Roger, Sergeant. - Okay, we have got to fill the gap left by tower one. - Sergeant. Take cover! (Gunfire) Aah! Aah! (Eddie) Break, break, we have enemy in the wire. Repeat, enemy in the wire. Saber six, this is outlaw base. We have enemy in the wire. We need that air support now. Outlaw base out. Get the radio. We're going out. All right, let's move! Do we have aircraft at our disposal? No, sir. We could try requesting support from Kandahar. Nah, they'd never get there in time. Q.R.F. ready? Yes, sir. (Helicopter blades whirring) (Heavy automatic gunfire) (Booms) Just in time. (Gunfire continues) Where you going? Where you go Everybody needs ammo. (Gunfire continues) (Explosion) (Explosion) (Gunfire continues) Get down! Aah! Oh! (Grunts) (Gunfire continues) How bad? He's okay, sir. Aah! Hand me my weapon, Truman. (Grunts and pants) Weapon. (Panting) You okay? Go. Get outta here! (Grunts and exhales) (Grunt) (Explosion) (Gunfire continues) Aah! Aah! We need to fall back. Aah! Green? (Gunfire continues) (Explosion) Medic! (Explosion) Medic! (Gunfire continues) Private. There's nothing you can do for him. I need you to keep running that ammo.

(Scream echoes) (Gunfire continues) (Gunfire fades) (Indistinct conversations) Over 60% casualties. So far we counted 64 enemy K.I.A., sir. But they withdrew with some of their dead. Looks like you need medical attention. No, sir. I have soldiers who need it a lot more than I do. I should check on 'em, sir. Understood. Carry on. (Indistinct conversations continue) Here you go, Tuck-Tuck. You may put us in the poorhouse, you darn dog, but I can't be mad at you. (Baby-talk voice) Nope. I just can't.
