Study up. I hate people
who own precious flowers

and don't know
how to take care of them.

You know what I hate? Weeds.

to work so hard to get rid of them.

I find, with the right chemicals,

Mrs. Solis, what a surprise. We haven't
seen you in here in quite some time.

Lynette!

- You forgot your Halpern file.
- Oh, my God. Lynette.

If there was one person
Lynette never expected to se again,

it was Annabel Foster.

Eight years earlier,
Annabel had begged Tom to marry her.

But he told her
he wasn't the marrying kind.

Then one day,

Tom happened to met
a rising young executive

by the name of Lynette Lindquist.

And after a few torrid weks,

Tom decided perhaps he was
the marrying kind after all,

causing an embittered Annabel
to move back to Chicago.

Permanently.

Or so Lynette had hoped.

You look fantastic!

Thank you! And you!

You're here, in the office.

Going on three months now.

It, uh... must have slipped his mind.

[Forced laugh]

Ah! Afraid to tell the wife you're
working with the old girlfriend, huh?

I guess that makes me
your dirty little secret!

Well, I'll let you get back to work.

- Can't wait.

Oh, I almost forgot.

Your file. Here.

No. You came home before
she had a chance to watch the video.
