Army Wives

Previously on Army Wives...

Look. I can move my legs.

Soldiers of 1st Brigade,

I could not be prouder.

And I send you back

with a promise made by another general.

I shall return.

- Come here, fella! - Aww. He's adorable.

He's a terror.

- Roxy Leblanc. - Latasha Montclair.

- Denise Sherwood. - Nice to meet you.

I didn't know we were in the pie business.

Well, we are now.

Gloria, meet Holly. Holly, Gloria.

Hi.

Maggie Hall, former Airborne.

Me and my husband and our two kids

have been living in a single motel room.

Just hang on a little longer.

- Hands off. - Ooh.

Didn't you hear her? She's not interested.

Hey.

(Patrons gasp)

Come on, Caroline. You've been in there forever.

I said give me a minute.

Mom.

Just give her another minute.

Let's go, Caroline. You don't want to be late.

It's about time.

You're such a spaz.

How about you be the stay-at-home parent

and I reenlist?

I don't think so.

Oh, come on. Think of all the fun you're missing.

Tanner, what did you do with my phone charger?

I didn't touch it.

Yeah. I gotta go.

Have a nice day at school.

Bye, daddy.

Tanner...

see you later, bud.

Tanner?

Bye.

I'm serious, Tanner.

Where did you put my phone charger?

Well... I didn't put it there.

More?

No, thank you. It was delicious.

Aww, I'm glad you liked it.

Oh, thank you, David.

Is there anything else I can do for you, Mrs. Sherwood?

I got it.

Sherwood residence.

Is Mrs. Sherwood there?

May I ask who's calling?

Y-- (Chuckles) yes,

it's her husband-- Colonel Sherwood.

One moment please.

It's Colonel Sherwood.

Oh, thank you.

Why don't you and Sara Elizabeth go get ready for school?

Okay.

Good morning.

Is there something you're not telling me, D?

Yes.

I am watching the Burton kids

while, uh, Roland is in Baltimore.

What's he doing in Baltimore?

He's looking for temporary housing.

He's gonna be part of a clinical study team

at Johns Hopkins for a few months.

Oh, yeah, right. Joan mentioned something about that.

So you got your hands full, huh?

Three kids and a job.

Hmm. No, it's a good thing, actually.

Keeps my mind off other things.

Mm. Yeah, I hear that.

That's why I called, to see how you were doing.

I'm okay, I guess.

Um, it's just not the same without Claudia Joy being here.

It never will be.

No.

No. No, it can't.

I still can't believe we lost her, Frank.

Hey, kiddo.

Hi, dad.

What's up?

Nothing. I just wondered what you're doing.

Getting ready for work.

Isn't it kind of early for you to be conscious?

Ha ha.

I have to finish my sociology paper.

And after that, I'm all caught up.

Good.

I'm proud of you, Em.

Yeah. I'm... proud of me, too.

How's hockey?

It's great. Uh, we play Cornell next Saturday.

Get me a ticket.

Really?

Yeah.

I'm not gonna miss my daughter beating Cornell.

That's so awesome.

I can't wait to see you.

It'll be fun.

Yeah.

I should go, I guess.

Yeah, me, too.

I love you, dad.

I love you, too, kiddo. Hey, thanks for calling.

You're sure it's not too soon?

Jackie--

Well, you just got back from Washington.

I need to rejoin my troops.

I know, but you can't blame me

for wishing that you were home a little bit longer.

I don't.

I'll call you when I'm settled.

Okay.

Ah. Deuce, help your brother and sister into the car.

I'll be right out.

Mm.

Did you hear what I said?

I just remembered.

- We're supposed to bring in something about our dads. - What?

For a class project on deployment.

Boy, we don't have time for that now.

All right. Hold on.

Here.

What is this?

It's an MRE. Meal, Ready-to-Eat.

It's what your father lives on in Afghanistan.

It is?

Yeah, it's a whole meal in that one little bag.

Cool.

Uh, do I hear "thank you"?

Thanks, mom.

All right. Hurry up. We don't want to be late.

How you doing, baby?

Corporal Montclair.

Yes, Sergeant.

Grab two men and start drawing ammo for the platoon.

Roger, Sergeant.

Hey, Cruz, Truman,

finish up here.

- We're drawing ammo. - Moving out?

- Eventually. - When?

Hell if I know.

Well, where are they gonna send us?

I'm not an officer, Truman.

Translation-- "shut up."

(Indistinct conversations continue)

You married?

Can you go 30 seconds without talking, Truman?

I'm curious, that's all.

I'm married.

Yeah. Want to see a photo?

She hot?

She's beautiful.

(Indistinct conversations continue)

Nice.

Yeah.

I'm one lucky guy, all right.

You coming, Romeo?

Morning, Gloria.

Wow. Someone's been busy.

Well, like my mom says,

"idle hands make the devil's work."

I don't know about that, but I can use those pies.

They've been flying off the shelves.

Great.

Have you heard from Hector lately?

No, but we are getting divorced, remember?

Right.

Heard from Tim?

No. Not since his first e-mail.

Well, don't worry.

But why doesn't he write me?

They're soldiers, Holly.

They got a lot to do over there.

They can't just sit down and e-mail

anytime they feel like it.

They can't?

No, they gotta get permission

and go to a special tent with computers and everything.

Oh.

I'm sure he'll be in touch as soon as he can.
