The evening ends abruptly when Steve and Phil come over to asks whether Beppe has seen Mel, since she disappeared. When Lynne gets home she sees Charlie drinking, so she joins him.

but he came back to me in the end." "Oh leave me alone," Mo whines. "And
the same thing will happen to you!" Kat continues."
He'll meet someone else, run off with her and leave you on your
own." "He don't want to play happy families with her, why would he with you?" "Because he loves me. He told me so." "Don't

"I've come here to help you," Mo replies weakly. "Now I'm helping you!" Donna replies.
