Army Wives

Previously on "Army Wives"...

When I saw you yesterday, I got this feeling,

like you were looking for a way outta here,

a ticket to something better. Am I right?

- You tell your friends? - No.

It's my body. How I handle this is up to me.

Claudia Joy! Are you ok?

I really don't want you mentioning this to anyone.

You can't keep it a secret.

I can't shake this feeling, Roxy.

Something's not right with Chase.

Chase?

Oh, my god.

What happened?

Helicopter crash.

Are you... okay?

Broken leg, a few cracked ribs.

Other than that...

Why didn't you call?

They wouldn't let me.

Could you...

Oh, yeah.

I wasn't out of isolation.

I had to debrief.

Debrief? Why?

I walked away. That's all that matters.

You had me really worried... this time.

You want to hear some good news?

The doc says I have to be home for six weeks.

- Really? - Yeah, minimum.

You do this again...

I'll kill you myself.

~ Willow's Team ~

You got this. Keep going.

All day. All day. Keep going, guys.

Sprint. Sprint. Come on. You got this.

All day. Keep going.

- 11. - Nice.

Sprint.

Sprint.

Sidestep, sidestep. Come on, guys.

You guys are all stacked up.

Nice.

Turn. Sprint.

Eight. Nice.

One more. You got this. All day, Jones. Come on.

Push.

Nine. Nice. All right.

Outstanding. All right. Everybody, fall in.

All right.

Congratulations on completing your first morning of army P.T.

Now you stick with the program,

and not only will you pass your army physical,

but you will feel stronger and more confident

than you ever have in your entire life.

Martinez, how you doing over there, buddy?

- Doing good, sir. - That's the spirit.

But hey, don't call me "sir," all right?

- Sir is for officers. - Doing good, Sergeant.

Good. I have a prize for the top-performing candidate...

A genuine, government-issued P.T. Shirt.

And the winner...

with 75 crunches, 30 push-ups

and 9 pull-ups--

Kanessa Jones.

Well done, Jones.

Reminder-- we have a 1-mile run this afternoon at 1600 hours.

Anyone know what time that is? Martinez?

I'm too tired to think, Sergeant.

- Anyone? - 4:00 p.m.

Correct.

All right, everybody. I'll see you then.

Dismissed.

- Hey. - Hey, mom.

- Hey, mommy. - Hi, guys.

- How was your sleepover? - It was okay.

- Where were you? - Visiting a sick friend, remember?

But I got some great news. Your daddy's coming home this afternoon.

Can we stay home from school?

Nice try.

You can see him after. Now get in the car.

- Thank you so much. - Oh, are you kidding?

I'm just glad everything's okay.

Yeah. He's...

He's really banged up, but he says he's fine.

So thank you so much for keeping me together.

Aw, of course.

Mom!

See ya.

Elevated pulse.

Shortness of breath. Frank, can you hear me?

Unresponsive.

Open airway. Begin sternal rub.

- Lower. - Frank.

What?

Behave. Today's my first ride-along,

and I'm out of practice.

You can do this paramedic stuff in your sleep.

I got 500 hours to log, and I want to be the best.

500 hours? Jeesh.

Okay, you can save my life,

but I gotta warn you-- you're turning me on.

Oh, I suppose you're right. If I don't know it by now,

this isn't gonna help.

How about we practice a little mouth-to-mouth?

Come on.

- How was P.T.? - It was outstanding.

You know that prospect I was telling you about-- Kanessa Jones?

She kicked ass today.

Good.

So, Rox...

What's this?

What does it look like?

I found it in the medicine cabinet.

ell, that makes sense 'cause that's where I keep 'em.

Okay. I thought we had a deal.

I don't deploy, we get pregnant.

We talked about it.

No, we did more than talk about it.

Isn't it time to get rid of these things?

I'm just having a little trouble getting used to the idea.

That's all. This isn't my first rodeo, you know?

I know.

But this is our first chance...

together.

We could start right now.

Well, I never have been able to resist a man in a wet towel.

- You should've gotten me up. - You need some rest.

I hate to oversleep. You know that.

Claudia Joy, for once in your life, you can afford to slow down.

What's this?

Just a little something for you.

- Michael. - Open it.

It's a medicalert bracelet.

We knew you wouldn't go for one of those stainless steel jobs,

so Emmalin and I did some research and found this on the internet.

- Nice, huh? - Yeah. It's very sweet.

- You don't like it. - Ah, it's lovely.

But?

I don't want to wear it. That's all.

You heard what Dr. Jernigan said.

Yeah, I know what she said, but that doesn't mean I have to wear one.

It's my choice. Michael, I know you're trying to help, but...

I told you, I'll deal with this my way. This isn't it.

It's open.

- Hi. - Morning.

Got 'em right over there.

It's hard to believe she's outgrown so many clothes so fast.

They sprout up like cattails.

Now I woulda taken those to the thrift store myself, but since--

Don't worry about it. With my boys, I'm there, like, twice a month.

Thank you.

This looks like it was never worn.

It wasn't.

Joan was so concerned about saving it for a special occasion

that Sara Elizabeth outgrew it before she got to wear it.

- Maybe I should keep it for myself. - I'm sorry.

Is there something you're not telling me?

Oh, no. Not yet.

But you're trying?

Maybe.

I just think it would be fun to have a little girl.

Yeah.

Oh, perfect. Spit up.

Here. You want a little girl?

I gotta change.

- Ooh, Roland. She's a little ripe. - Diapers are in her bag.

No, I didn't volunteer to change diapers.

Time to get back into practice.

Great.

They always disappear. Always.

Just so you know.

I thought you had paramedic training today.

This afternoon, but I thought you could use a hand.

You want me to handle the development report?

- I've got it. - I have the notes.

I'm fine, really.

Brought you a piece of my sour cream coffee cake before it disappears.

Oh, thanks, Madge. I-I'm trying to watch it right now.

With your figure? Come on. One piece won't kill you.

I'll take it if she doesn't want it.

I ran out of the house without breakfast this morning.

Thanks for that.

Yeah. You really should tell people, Claudia Joy.

Okay, ladies, shall we get started?

Let's start with Maggie Davis. Maggie?

- What's going on? - Why isn't dad here?

That's what I want to talk to you about.

Your daddy will be home in a minute.

A friend is bringing him. But there's something that I need to tell you.

What?

Well, your daddy was in a little accident at work.

What kind of accident?

He was in a helicopter, and it landed too hard.

So he's got a broken leg and some bumps and bruises.

So you guys are gonna need to take it easy on him, okay?

That means no roughhousing or piggybacks.

He's here!

Come on. Don't I get a hug?

Mom said to take it easy.
