September 29, 2003:
Liza finds out Tad slept with Simone.


[At Fusion. Mia teases Simone about having found someone to sleep with the night before. Before Simone can say who the man was, the women receive an invitation to a mysterious meeting.]

Simone: [To Liza] Who are you calling?

Liza: Tad. Maybe he knows something about this.

Mia: [She smiles.] [To Simone, aside.] Please -- any excuse to talk to Tad. She's over Tad, like heck she's over Tad.

Simone: Really?

Mia: Mhmm. [A cell phone rings.] That's you.

Simone: Oh, my phone. Hang on. Hello?

Liza: [She turns around.] Simone?

Simone: Liza?

Mia: Simone?

Simone: I must've picked up Tad's phone by mistake.

Liza: When he was here yesterday?

Simone: I guess -- yes. Yes, of course. That's silly. Wow. Oops.

Liza: Wait a minute. No, no, no-- no, no, no, no, you couldn't have because I talked to him on his cell phone last night, which means you needed to pick it up... later.

Simone: You did.

Mia: [Sighs.] Tad. Simone, Tad?

Tad: [Smiling.] You rang? Isn't it a glorious day?

Simone: It was.

Mia: [Glaring at Tad.] I've had better.

[Tad's smile fades; he's confused. He looks at Liza. She gives him a small smile.]



Mia: So, Tad, what brings you here this morning, hmm?

Tad: Um, actually, I-- I, I-- [Simone holds up his phone discreetly.]

Mia: Something that I can help you with, or Liza could help you with?

Tad: Uh-- you-- Uh, well-- Um-- Okay, I was just wondering how many people voted with their cell phone. You know, with text messaging -- is there another thing you can do on the Internet, or anything like that?

Liza: Uh, Tad, Simone has your cell phone and you have hers.

Tad: Yeah. She does.

[Mia sighs and goes to her desk. Tad and Simone hand each other their rightful cell phones.]

Tad: [He turns back to Liza.] Um, this was just a total accident. I'm so sorry, I didn't mean--

Liza: No, no, no -- that's your business. Listen, the only reason I knew Simone had your cell phone was because I actually tried to call you about this [she hands him the invitation].

Tad: "Alexander Cambias... critical you attend" Who's Bill Masters?

Liza: Yeah. Well, I was hoping you could tell us. [She smiles and walks away. Tad excuses himself with Simone and goes to Liza.]

Tad: Look, about Simone, I never, ever intended anything like this to happen.

Liza: No, no, no, no, no, you don't -- you don't owe me an explanation. This is your decision. Whatever you do, it's great.

Tad: Well, I didn't decide for anything like this to go on. I mean, I just-- It literally-- I just--

Liza: Really. You don't-- You don't-- You don't owe me. I mean, we're just friends.

Liza: [She walks away.] [To Simone] So what do you think? You think we're going to attend this Alexander Cambias thing?

Simone: Well, how often are we summoned from the other side? I'm wondering just who else is invited.



Liza: [To Greenlee] This was delivered right before you showed up. [She hands Greenlee the invitation.]

Tad: [He hangs up the phone.] Okay. I'm off. Made a couple of phone calls. This Bill Masters is obviously a go-to kind of guy. Alexander Cambias must have hired him to create this whole event.

Greenlee: Before or after he died?

Mia: [Aside.] Liza?

Liza: No. No, no, you know, I told him that I wasn't interested and I got what I deserved. So did he.

Tad: Would you guys mind an escort to this little seance?

Greenlee: I'd feel better.

Simone: Me, too.

Mia: Liza, what do you think?

Liza: I think that it's a good idea. [She smiles.] Thanks, Tad.
