It was everything susan could do to keep a smile on her face.
Round two was under way, and she was already taking a beating.

- You know what, mrs. Britt?- What edie hadn't counted on...

- Do you know who I always liked?
- Was Susan had someone else in her corner.

Mr. Authwell -- your fourth husband.

Oh, he was my second husband. I've only been married twice.

Twice?

You weren't married to the guy with all the tattoos that they took away in handcuffs?

No, Julie, she wasn't married to Javier.

That was just one of her special friends.

I think we should change the subject. You know, unless you want to keep talking about it.

Bongo, get down.

Wait, wait. Let -- let me show you something. Bongo.

He loves that gravy.

While you were in there tossing the salad,

I taught him something.

Up.

Susan was furious with Edie for using a dog to ingratiate herself with its owner.

She was also furious with Mike for not seeing through this blatant maneuver.

But mostly...

you know what? I'm going to go get the desserts.

She was furious with herself for not having thought of it first.

I can barely get him to sit.

You are a good dog. You're the best dog ever. Yes, you are.

Ha ha. I've never seen him walk on two legs.

Well, he knows who to come to, doesn't he? He knows who to come to.

Here's your dessert.

Thank you. Mmm. My, this looks yummy.

Oh, look at that.

Looks like Bongo's finally warming up to Susan.

Yeah, we just got off on the wrong foot. We're best buddies now.

Oh, what a good boy.

Bongo, are you okay?

What's wrong with him?

I don't know. I've never heard him make that sound.

Hey, you okay, pal?

Mom.

Hey, you all right? You okay? Come on.

Call the vet. The number's on the fridge. Tell him I'll be right there.

Okay, don't you worry about a thing. I'll stay here and get everything cleaned up.

Thanks, Edie.

Is there anything I can do?

No.

- Hey.- Hey.

How's Bongo doing?

I'm, uh, just waiting to see if they'll have to operate.

Oh, god.

I-I... I stopped and I got this...

I am just so sorry for this.

I'm really sorry I snapped at you. I was ju so --

Oh, no, it's okay.

Good news.

We won't have to do surgery.

Oh, that's great.

We've given Bongo something to help pass the earring.

When he does, would you like us to retrieve it for you?

I'm going to say no.

Okay. You should be able to take him home in about an hour.

You must be so relieved.

I'm sorry. I was just really worried.

Well, it was your dog. I get it.

Actually, he was my wife's dog, and, uh...

one of the last things she said to me in the hospital before she died

was to be sure I looked after him,

and, um, I promised her I would.

And just like that,Susan could suddenly see something she'd never seen before.

He, uh, meant so much to her.

Mike Delfino was still in love with his late wife.

And if, uh, something had happened, I would have felt like I had failed her.

I know that sounds stupid, but I...

and she knew right then neither she nor Edie would be laying claim to his heart anytime soon.

No, it doesn't. Not at all.

So she decided, for now,

she could settle for just being his friend.

This is for you. Well, for Bongo.

You give it to him.

Yes. As I look back at the world I left behind,

it's all so clear to me:

the beauty that waits to be unveiled,

the mysteries that long to be uncovered.

But people so rarely stop to take a look,

they just keep moving.

It's a shame really,

there's so much to see.
