if I hide it's just going to make it worse.

Maybe. For awhile. I do have

some sleeping pills

or something stronger if you

need it.

No. No, thank you. I... I

just... I don't take anything.

I didn't say you did.

Why are you trying to help me?

Because you're my friend and

I'm worried about you.

Fair enough.

So, I got some errands I got to do.

So I will see you at work tonight, I guess?

Of course.

Okay. Take care.

Doctor Hubbard? Yeah, can I

come by?

I saw your broadcast last night.

I became concerned about you.

You're not the only one. I guess I'm just

kind of walking in my sleep right now.

Did you take anything?

No. No. I wouldn't. You're my sponsor.

I would have called you.

I know. But I'm also your friend.

And you're right, you should have called me.

I'm sorry.

So what do the police know?

I got a call this morning from

some detective

but they don't sound that interested

in the death of a stripper.

I'm sure that's not the case.

I didn't tell anyone. You know,

that I had a... a sister.

Even John was surprised.

John, your producer.

Yeah. My producer and well,

he'd like it to be something more.

Um... how do I put this?

I... I don't want you to get

involved with a man right now.

Look, you've come so far in

reconciling your family issues

and I would hate for you to lose

sight of what's really important.

Your sister was a big reason

for all of this.

But she's dead.

Death is not the end.

For Ann to truly get out of your life,

you have to be willing to let her go.

You're so Zen. That's why I

like you.

Look, I'm just a counselor.

It's okay, Doctor. It really is.

Okay. Well, then do me a favor just call

me more frequently just for my sake, okay?

Okay.

Yeah.

The Candy Cat welcomes...

...the southern belle who's a

blonde bombshell.

Let's give it up for Britney.

Would you like a dance?

No, thank you.

Are you looking for a job?

There's an opening.

I have to go. I'm sorry.

Help me.

Hey, how you doing? You know I tried

to return your call a few times

but it went right to voicemail.

Anything wrong?

No. I just wanted to tell you I'm going to

take a few days off, like Rebecca offered.

Good. Give you time to clear

your head. Be good for you.

And also, one more thing, I

need you to do me a favor.

Anything. What?

Do you still have that police

detective friend?

Yeah.

Do you think he could get me a

copy of Ann's file?

I just want to find out what

they know.

I'll tell you what I'll do.

I'll see what I can find out

but you gotta promise me...

...you'll leave the police

work to the professionals.

Got it?

Sounds like you're telling me

what to do again.

My God. What am I doing?
