everything.

No matter how ugly

or uncomfortable it might be.

I specifically asked you,

"Did anything happen at that party?"

And what did you tell me?

- You said no.

- I know.

- I don't know what to believe right now.

- Okay.

Hey, hey, hey.

I think I need to be alone.

I think I need to be alone.

Stop, stop, stop. Okay?

Come on. Sharon. Please?

- Sharon, come on.

- Get out of my house!

This is crazy, Sharon!

Don't you see what's happening?

Get out of my house.

Nothing happened with this...

Okay. You know what?

You just tell me what you want me

to do and that's what I'll do!

Well, first, I suggest you pack

your toothbrush.

Then I want you to get your socks,

your shaving kit, your underwear...

...your prophylactics, if

you need them, and get out!

- And go where, Sharon?

- To helI.

But until then,

I suggest maybe the Four Seasons.

Sharon!

Miss Sheridan?

Hey, I'm Monica Reese.

I'm a detective assigned to your case.

- Come in.

- Thanks.

I'm sorry I'm such a mess.

They won't let me take a shower

or wash my hair.

Apparently I'm still on suicide watch.

So you feel like talking

about the other night?

Have you spoken to Derek?

Yeah.

And he's all right?

Relatively speaking.

When can I see him?

Yeah, I don't think

that's gonna be possible.

- Why?

- Miss, I don't mean to upset you...

...but I don't think Mr. Charles

wants to speak to you...

...or continue any kind of contact.

Then why did he send me these?

He sent you flowers?

Lilies. My favorite.

Beautiful.

Yeah.

Miss Sheridan, could you tell me

what happened at the hoteI?

- Why you were there?

- Didn't Derek tell you?

Yeah, but I'd really like

to get your version.

Well, there's not much to tell.

He asked me to meet him

at the hotel.

And you agreed?

Of course.

And then what happened?

I think you can guess what we did.

Yeah. You... You slept together.

Yes.

Well, Derek denies it, so...

He's just trying to protect me.

He's being a gentleman.

Right.

The next day, he told me that his wife

wouldn't give him a divorce.

You know the kind of woman

that will never let go?

Yeah.

Then he said

that we couldn't see each other.

I overreacted.

I didn't realize at the time

that he was just being noble.

Noble? What do you mean, "noble"?

He was thinking about his little boy,

Kyle.

What the breakup would do to him.

Lisa. Can I call you Lisa?

Yeah.

How would you, you know...

...characterize your relationship

with Derek?

- Lovers.

- Yeah, I got that.

But I mean, do you really believe

he's in love with you?

I'm not a home wrecker.

Monica, I'm not stealing him away.

Their marriage is over.

I do feel bad about his wife, though.

Well, how so?

Well, it can't be easy...

...to find out that your husband's

in love with someone else.

Right.

I just hope that she doesn't do

something stupid.

I don't have to tell you the impact

this could have.

- Even a whiff of impropriety.

- Impropriety. There is no impropriety!

This is just a sick fantasy

from a very disturbed girl.

Who might retaliate

with a sexual harassment lawsuit.

I was the one

who was sexually harassed.

I can't believe this is happening

to me. This is like a nightmare.

By now you're probably wishing

you had banged her.

Goddamn it, Joe!

Derek, calm down. I believe you,

and I'Il back you all the way on this.

If we find out

there was something going on...

That's not gonna happen.

There's nothing.

Good. Then you've got nothing

to worry about.

- I'm putting Ben on the Ganz account.

- No. Ganz is my client-

- Look-

- No, Joe.

I'm not losing my client over this.

Take a little time off, just until

this blows over. Focus on Sharon.

Oh, Jesus.

I'm sorry to interrupt.

Derek, there's a Detective Reese here

to see you.

Come on.

You think I sent her flowers?

My assistant has alI my personal

information in his computer.

She must have accessed them

when she temped for me.

This is Lisa's journal.

It's a sort of diary, I guess...

- ... that she was keeping.

- Okay.

It's a rather graphic

and detailed account...

...of your various sexual liaisons

together.

- My what?

- I have to warn you, it's...

"We... "

This is bullshit.

None of this happened.

I've never been to her apartment.

I've never touched her.

Well, according to these entries,

you are quite the accomplished lover.

Oh, and apparently,

you made some promises to her.

Promises to divorce your wife and-

Okay, detective.

You seem smart.

You can't possibly believe that.

Look, the only thing that matters

is that she believes this.

So there has to be something I can do

to protect myself, right? My family?

Sure.

You could file a restraining order.

Let's do that.

- But that might not be necessary.

- Why not?

Because Lisa's sister flew down

from San Francisco...

...and took Lisa back with her

earlier today.

I can't say I'm unhappy to hear that.

Maybe now she'II get the help

that she needs.

You ready? Let's go for it.

- Hey.

- Kyle. Hey, baby.

It's my birthday next week.

Happy birthday.

Sharon, are you gonna make me

spend my birthday alone?

Have dinner with me?

Come on, Sharon.

Move your foot, Derek.

What do you think?

Be honest.

Derek, your menu. Your menu.

- Oh, my menu, I'm sorry.

- Thank you.

Sharon, this means a lot to me.

I missed you.

And, I don't know, there's just so much

I wanna tell you.

It's your party, birthday boy.

You look beautiful.

I love you.

Sharon, I just wanna be home.

Okay, it's been three months.

And I'll do whatever it takes to fix this,

to make us work again...

...your studies, you and Kyle,

I mean...

...you name it, I'll do it.

I got you something.

- Should I just-?

- No.

Let's see how

the rest of the evening goes.

And welcome to "Fact or Fiction. "

I'm your host, Rod Baker.

And on today's show, let's welcome

back our champion, Bunny!

Hi. I'm Sharon's friend, Kate.

You're...?

Samantha. Mrs. Charles is at dinner.

Sharon told me to drop by.

I have this present for Kyle.

I'm just gonna run it up to him.

Oh, you can't, he's sleeping.

I won't wake him.

Maybe you should come back

another time.

But I'm here now.

I...

I get it, you're just doing your job.

Good.

Do you need me to call Sharon?

Yeah.

Okay.

Sharon. Hey, it's Kate.

Where am I? I'm at your house,

of course. You told me to drop by.

She forgot.

No, Samantha just wanted me

to give you a calI.

She was a little bit concerned.

No. No, no, no.

Don't be upset with her.

No, God, come on,

she was just doing her job.

Great. All right, have an

amazing dinner. Tell Derek I said hi.

Oh, Sharon, hold on.

Do you need to talk to her?

No, no, I'm fine.

All right, I'Il catch up with you

in the morning. Bye, honey.

I'll be back in a sec.

Yeah.

Sharon, you know,

I miss you and I love you...

...and I know that you miss me too.

I do miss you, but I don't know

if that's enough.

We're not talking about divorce,

right?

I don't come from a family of divorce.
