00:00:00Music

00:01:00Hey.

00:01:04Hey.

00:01:05Hey.

00:01:06Jen's in the zone.

00:01:09I hope she doesn't fall into the fire.

00:01:16I've never seen her like this.

00:01:18You know Jen, why?

00:01:19She never drinks.

00:01:20She needs some food.

00:01:22There's nothing around here but some empty chip bags.

00:01:25I could stand a burger.

00:01:26Deal.

00:01:30Come on.

00:01:31You'll feel better once you eat.

00:01:32Feel better if Lexi's not following me around.

00:01:34Who invited her anyway?

00:01:35I did.

00:01:36Yeah?

00:01:37She's spying on me.

00:01:38Maybe I wouldn't have to if you'd return my phone call.

00:01:40Whoa, whoa.

00:01:41You guys are just way too intense.

00:01:43Yeah, give it up.

00:01:44Look, just stop following me.

00:01:46You and I are not friends anymore, okay?

00:01:48Jen, this is nuts.

00:01:49Just leave me alone.

00:01:50I can take care of myself.

00:01:51Okay.

00:01:52All right.

00:02:13Jen, I really need to talk to you.

00:02:16I am so sorry.

00:02:19Don't you understand that I hate you?

00:02:23I never want to see you again.

00:02:26Okay?

00:02:27Well, here we are in Seattle.

00:02:28I like Chicago better.

00:02:29I miss our house.

00:02:30Yep.

00:02:31This is like half the size.

00:02:46Look, we're not going to do this, remember?

00:02:49I miss our house.

00:02:51Yup, this is like half the size.

00:02:54Look, we're not going to do this, remember?

00:02:56I'm sorry.

00:02:57We've been.

00:02:58Oh.

00:02:59We're not going to do this, remember?

00:03:01Compare here and there, then and now.

00:03:03We can't. It doesn't help.

00:03:05Not if we're going to start a new life.

00:03:07Like my old life.

00:03:09That's your second piece. I've only had one.

00:03:11Look, guys, none of this was my idea.

00:03:15I didn't want the divorce.

00:03:17We know that, Mom.

00:03:19Your father moved. We moved.

00:03:20We make the best of it.

00:03:23Why did we have to move?

00:03:25Because this job is all I know.

00:03:28I mean, I grew up around your grandfather's produce business,

00:03:30and this job pays a lot more than I could get in Chicago.

00:03:34And remember, nobody knows who you are here.

00:03:39So you can reinvent yourselves.

00:03:43Be whoever it is you want to be.

00:03:46Be all that you can be in the Army.

00:03:53You goofballs.

00:03:55That's your third piece. Oink, oink.

00:03:58You're a baby.

00:04:13You know, I'm just as nervous about my new job as you are about your new school.

00:04:17At least you're getting paid.

00:04:19What are varsity tryouts?

00:04:21I don't know. Maybe I won't play.

00:04:24Of course you're playing.

00:04:25And it's a good way for you to meet new friends.

00:04:29I'm fat, aren't I?

00:04:31No, you are not fat.

00:04:33You just need a little exercise, that's all.

00:04:37So you do think I'm fat?

00:04:40Lexi, you are not fat.

00:04:43You put on a few extra pounds this summer.

00:04:45Big deal.

00:04:47They'll come right off as soon as you start playing again.

00:04:49So stop worrying.

00:04:52I love you.

00:04:54Okay, I'll meet you.

00:04:55Good night.

00:04:59Good night.

00:05:01That's Jennifer.

00:05:14Who?

00:05:15Jennifer Hornsberger.

00:05:17Wow.

00:05:18She's really good.

00:05:19Mm-hmm.

00:05:20And she also gets straight A's and is the best actress in school.

00:05:23Don't you hate her?

00:05:24I'm Sarah, by the way.

00:05:28Lexi, good to meet you.

00:05:29Nice to meet you.

00:05:31Next!

00:05:32Oh, good luck.

00:05:46Wow, nice hits.

00:05:47Nice sets.

00:05:48You sure you two never played together before?

00:05:52I'm Jen.

00:05:53Lexi.

00:05:54Welcome to the team.

00:05:56Thanks.

00:06:11Hello?

00:06:12Oh, hi, honey.

00:06:13Oh, hi, Mom.

00:06:14How did tryouts go?

00:06:16Good.

00:06:16I made the team.

00:06:19Fabulous.

00:06:20Congratulations.

00:06:21Well, not that I thought you wouldn't.

00:06:22Oh, and I decided to do what you said and reinvent myself.

00:06:25Can I read you my list?

00:06:26It'll only take a minute.

00:06:27Oh, not right now, honey.

00:06:28I've got to go into a meeting.

00:06:29I only have, uh, 30 seconds.

00:06:32Please, one minute.

00:06:33Go.

00:06:34Catherine.

00:06:36Eat healthy.

00:06:37There's at least 10 pounds.

00:06:40Get an A in geometry.

00:06:42Serve an entire game.

00:06:44Help, Mom, work.

00:06:45Oh, well, I like that one.

00:06:47And become Jennifer Harnsberger's friend.

00:06:50Oh, that sounds great, honey.

00:06:52Listen, I have to go, but I want you to do your homework and no TV, okay?

00:06:55Okay.

00:06:56Bye.

00:06:57Okay.

00:06:58Bye-bye.

00:06:58Hello, marketing.

00:07:05Yeah, is, um, Peter Archer there, please?

00:07:07Who's calling, please?

00:07:08It's his daughter.

00:07:09I'm sorry, he's in a meeting right now.

00:07:11Okay, can you just tell him that I called?

00:07:13Uh, your name again?

00:07:15It's Lexi.

00:07:16Uh, your last name?

00:07:17Lexi Archer.

00:07:19Great.

00:07:19I'll make sure he gets the message.

00:07:20Thanks.

00:07:21Yummy.

00:07:29Shut up.

00:07:31Lexi!

00:07:32Hi.

00:07:33Hi.

00:07:33Hey, guys, this is Lexi, the new player I told you about.

00:07:36Hi.

00:07:36Hey.

00:07:37This is Justin and Ben.

00:07:38They're on the boys' team.

00:07:40Lexi's from Chicago.

00:07:42Yeah, my parents got divorced, so here I am.

00:07:45Ooh, I can relate.

00:07:47It's been almost a year since the big announcement.

00:07:49Guys, they can eat anything.

00:07:54Uh, don't you want some dressing with that?

00:07:56Oh, no.

00:07:56I don't like any of them.

00:07:58Thanks.

00:08:04You should see our new uniforms.

00:08:06It's got this, uh, cool diagonal striper right across the chest.

00:08:08Yeah.

00:08:09Yeah, wait till you see ours.

00:08:09They're, like, 100 years old.

00:08:11Girl sports always come fast.

00:08:13I know.

00:08:13It truly uxays.

00:08:15Yeah, like a vacuum.

00:08:17Within a vacuum.

00:08:19Or a hot pair of lips.

00:08:20On a cold cherry popsicle.

00:08:29That looks good.

00:08:30Can I have a bite?

00:08:31Mm-hmm.

00:08:41Mom, do you know how many grams of fat there are in this?

00:08:44No.

00:08:45Seven grams per serving.

00:08:47And they say it's a little fat.

00:08:49Jill, you know I don't like you to do your homework at the last minute.

00:08:53Our first game is today.

00:08:54I know.

00:08:55I wish I could come, but the growers are holding a meeting on pesticides, and I have to be there.

00:09:02You know I'd go if I could.

00:09:03It doesn't really matter anyway.

00:09:06I'm sorry, honey.

00:09:09Done.

00:09:09One, two, three, setter.

00:09:26One, two, three, setter.

00:09:29Hi, Matt!

00:09:46You've got to position yourself so you have more control of the ball.

00:09:49You're all just watching the game.

00:09:51Now let's get it together, huh?

00:09:52One, two, three, team work!

00:09:55Lexi, out.

00:09:57Sup?

00:09:59You're a good play, Lexi, but you've got to anticipate and get to the ball quicker.

00:10:06Jen's ready for you every time, but you're not delivering.

00:10:08I know. I'm just really off today. Sorry.

00:10:11Also, you'd jump a lot higher if you'd drop some weight.

00:10:15Just a few pounds can make all the difference.

00:10:19Love your house.

00:10:20Thanks.

00:10:21Is Justin, like, your boyfriend or something?

00:10:24Uh, no.

00:10:25He used to be in the seventh grade. Now he's more like a brother.

00:10:28I have a sister.

00:10:31A little sister.

00:10:34Are you an only child?

00:10:36No, I have an older brother, but he's away in college.

00:10:38I hate being the only one left.

00:10:40Jennifer, I...

00:10:41Mom, how many times have I told you not?

00:10:45I picked up a few things for you at Leonie's I thought you might like,

00:10:48including a dress which will be perfect for Grandma's birthday dinner.

00:10:50Oh, Mom.

00:10:53This is my friend Lexi, the girl on the team I told you about.

00:10:56Oh, yes.

00:10:57Jennifer tells me you're from the Midwest.

00:10:58That's where I'm from originally.

00:11:00Yeah.

00:11:00She was Miss Cornhusker, 1970.

00:11:04Seriously.

00:11:05Oh, Mom.

00:11:07Is it okay if Lexi spends the night?

00:11:08It's okay with her, Mom.

00:11:09Oh, of course.

00:11:10Only you'll have to fend for yourself.

00:11:12Your father and I are going out.

00:11:13Nice to meet you, Lexi.

00:11:15Nice meeting you.

00:11:19She buys you clothes?

00:11:21Yeah.

00:11:21I'm like her Jenny doll.

00:11:23I mean, actually, she has pretty good taste.

00:11:25It's just I'd like to pick out my own things every once in a while.

00:11:29Like she decorated my room.

00:11:31But I'm rebelling.

00:11:33Check it out.

00:11:36Wow.

00:11:37Oh, who's that?

00:11:38You don't know?

00:11:40That's Chloe Densmere.

00:11:41She's this English actress slash model from the 70s.

00:11:45Chloe Densmere.

00:11:47Don't you just love that name?

00:11:50She is so incredible looking.

00:11:52Did you ever see the French film, A Oblire L'Amour?

00:11:55Mm-mm.

00:11:56She was in that.

00:11:57To forget love?

00:11:59You take French?

00:12:00Mm-mm.

00:12:00Me too.

00:12:01Cool.

00:12:02Cool.

00:12:11L'Amour.

00:12:16Qu'est-ce que c'est l'amour?

00:12:19Love.

00:12:20What is love?

00:12:23Un couteau.

00:12:25Que reste sur la table.

00:12:27A knife that lies on the table.

00:12:30Entre un homme et une femme.

00:12:34Between a man and a woman.

00:12:36I'm starving.

00:12:41Me too.

00:12:41Kitchen raid.

00:12:43Oh, yeah.

00:12:50Oh, my stomach.

00:12:52Me too.

00:12:56I'm going to go visit La Cholette.

00:12:58Okay.

00:12:59Okay.

00:13:06Um, Jen, are you okay?

00:13:27Hmm.

00:13:28The Romans had the right idea.

00:13:30And stuff to the gills, push reject.

00:13:32You mean, you made yourself, like...

00:13:38I can't pig out like that and not do something.

00:13:42But don't tell anyone, okay?

00:13:45Okay.

00:13:46Cross your heart, kiss your elbow.

00:13:55I've been waiting for a friend like you.

00:13:59Me too.

00:14:00Come on, let's try something on.

00:14:13Come on, let's try something on.

00:14:13Come on, let's try it.

00:14:29Woo-hoo!

00:14:35Woo-hoo!

00:14:37I can't get this button done.

00:14:57I look fat, even in black.

00:15:00Damn it, I feel like a blimp.

00:15:02Yeah, right. You're like the skinniest person I know.

00:15:05If you're a blimp, then I'm a blimp on steroids.

00:15:21Look straight ahead. Keep walking in. Don't breathe in.

00:15:35Don't care last. Just keep going.

00:15:51Don't breathe in.

00:15:58Did Daddy call?

00:16:00No. Why?

00:16:02Oh, I heard the phone ring when I was in the shower.

00:16:05As for me,

00:16:07did he say he was going to call?

00:16:12No.

00:16:13I left another message on his machine.

00:16:16I just wanted to talk.

00:16:17I don't understand what I did wrong.

00:16:22Lexi, you didn't do anything wrong.

00:16:24Well, then why didn't he call me back the same day?

00:16:27He'll call you back. He always does.

00:16:30Someday he won't.

00:16:32He'll be too busy and he'll forget.

00:16:36Can I have the other half of that?

00:16:38Sure.

00:16:39I thought you didn't like the pie.

00:16:41I don't.

00:16:42I'm on a diet.

00:16:43I'm on a diet.

00:16:45Mmm.

00:16:45Me too.

00:16:47At least until lunchtime.

00:16:52Oh.

00:16:56Hola.

00:17:00Go ahead.

00:17:01Open it.

00:17:02Okay.

00:17:03You'll get used to it.

00:17:09Especially once you start losing.

00:17:12Break it into fourths, it lasts longer.

00:17:16Okay.

00:17:24To eat.

00:17:25Manger.

00:17:26Manger.

00:17:27Je mange.

00:17:29Tu manges.

00:17:37Oh la la.

00:17:39To cook.

00:17:42Better la cuisine.

00:17:45Je fais la cuisine.

00:17:47Tu fais la cuisine.

00:17:49Je veux manger la cuisine.

00:17:51Je veux manger la cuisine.

00:17:54Moi aussi.

00:17:56To eat or not to eat.

00:17:59That's the question.

00:18:01Chew gum.

00:18:02And hold out till breakfast.

00:18:04Okay.

00:18:05Okay.

00:18:18That's good.

00:18:21Hey guys.

00:18:29What do you think about the team having a fundraiser at the spring carnival?

00:18:32Like what?

00:18:33I don't know.

00:18:35But something that we can sell tickets for in advance.

00:18:37That way if they don't show, we can still get their money.

00:18:39I like it.

00:18:42Is that all you're eating?

00:18:44What about when you play?

00:18:45I mean your energy.

00:18:46Mmm.

00:18:47I have more energy when I eat less.

00:18:49I feel lighter and faster.

00:18:50Right Lex?

00:18:51Yep.

00:18:52Whatever.

00:18:53See you at practice.

00:18:57Did you see that sandwich?

00:18:58At least 800 calories if not a thousand.

00:19:05You know, I think I've finally stopped feeling hungry.

00:19:07Mom, don't scare me like that.

00:19:22How much have you lost?

00:19:23I don't want you to disappear.

00:19:25That's me, Mom.

00:19:26Vanishing into thin air.

00:19:28I'm serious, Lexi.

00:19:29I think you need to stop dieting.

00:19:31I bet you never had big hips.

00:19:33Hips are what women have.

00:19:36And yours are hardly what I would call big.

00:19:38I hate my hips.

00:19:40And my thighs.

00:19:42You have a beautiful, strong, healthy body, Lexi.

00:19:46And I want you to keep it that way.

00:19:49Want me to get fat again?

00:19:50Lexi, you are not fat.

00:20:07Lexi?

00:20:08Lexi, you are not fat.

00:20:09Wow, you look great.

00:20:11Thanks.

00:20:12Yeah, you really look different.

00:20:15I wasn't even sure it was you.

00:20:18So, how would you like to go to that winter dance thing?

00:20:24Okay.

00:20:29Go buy and win the tail!

00:20:31Great, my dad's here.

00:20:35Don't worry about it.

00:20:54You think I never played before.

00:20:56It's okay, Jim.

00:20:56Let it go.

00:20:57Okay, we'll win the next one.

00:21:00One, two, three.

00:21:01Jim work!

00:21:01Yeah!

00:21:02Let's go!

00:21:07Yeah!

00:21:08Nice one!

00:21:27We're going to get it.

00:21:28Woo-hoo!

00:21:29Woo-hoo!

00:21:30Woo-hoo!

00:21:31Have a great serving Lexi. Too bad Jennifer's game was off today. I guess she just didn't want it enough

00:21:38Jen's the best player on the team. Oh, I know that. That's why I hate to see her play like she's not

00:21:52Hello, I need some help. I'm gonna drop it

00:21:58Thank you

00:22:01I thought I might actually cook some dinner

00:22:09Did you hear what I said in a minute would you help me clean up this?

00:22:17Hello, oh hi dad

00:22:19Did you see the Bulls game last night?

00:22:21I know I wanted to but they only have a boys team. I'm signing up for the league in the spring though

00:22:28Mom, it's dad

00:22:32Daddy

00:22:34Hi

00:22:36Guess what I served the whole game

00:22:38You did?

00:22:40I know I wish you could have too

00:22:42Oh really that sounds great hang on I'll ask her mom when do we get out for Thanksgiving?

00:22:48I don't know why

00:22:50She hasn't done it

00:22:53Okay, hang on

00:22:55Hello

00:22:57Hello

00:22:59Well, we were just about to have dinner

00:23:01I thought you were coming out to see them

00:23:05Well, how are they gonna get there?

00:23:07Well, how are they gonna get there?

00:23:13Let me think about it

00:23:14Look, something's burning. I'll talk to you later. Bye

00:23:17Thanks a lot mom

00:23:19I wanted to say goodbye

00:23:20Me too

00:23:25Hello, I'd like to order a large cheese pizza

00:23:27Piece offering

00:23:29I know you're sick of pizza, so

00:23:31Tuna salad sandwich, your favorite

00:23:33You haven't had any dinner

00:23:35I'm not hungry

00:23:37Look

00:23:39I know I get upset when your father calls

00:23:41Especially when he calls to tell me that he's flying you both to Chicago

00:23:43So he won't go then?

00:23:45Of course you'll go

00:23:46I want you to go

00:23:47Mom, I really have to do my math

00:23:48But it's all right

00:23:50Well, it happens

00:24:05Of course you'll go. I want you to go.

00:24:09Mom, I really have to do my math.

00:24:12Eat something. You're getting too thin.

00:24:15And don't stay up too late. I love you. Good night.

00:24:35Call me Chloe.

00:24:56You look just like her.

00:24:58Well, we did it. From blimp to...

00:25:00Alien party balloon.

00:25:02You know what they say.

00:25:04You can never be too rich or never too thin.

00:25:10So when do you leave for Chicago?

00:25:12Uh, next Wednesday.

00:25:14I'm getting kind of nervous about seeing my dad, though.

00:25:17He sounds so lonely.

00:25:20My mom still loves him.

00:25:23Maybe he wants to come back.

00:25:25I mean, maybe I could talk him into it.

00:25:30Hmm.

00:25:31I think it's romantic when couples get remarried.

00:25:34Why'd they get a divorce?

00:25:36Oh, my dad had an affair with somebody at the office.

00:25:40Didn't last or anything.

00:25:42Wrecked everything.

00:25:44So what about you?

00:25:45You think your parents are in love?

00:25:48I think my dad plays around as much as he can.

00:25:51And my mom is the queen of denial.

00:25:53I think my dad is in love.

00:25:55I don't know.

00:25:56I don't know.

00:25:57I don't know.

00:25:58I don't know.

00:25:59Wow. You guys look great. Yeah. Wow.

00:26:20You know, Jill, you have grown at least an inch.

00:26:23And Lexi, you lost a couple inches. You lost all that baby fat.

00:26:26You look terrific. Thanks, Daddy.

00:26:28So, how's Seattle?

00:26:29I think the key word there is precipitation.

00:26:32We live two miles away from the water.

00:26:34There's lots of windsurfing, but really, you need a wetsuit.

00:26:37Well, I'm sure I'm gonna get out there for a visit.

00:26:40You know, there's a lot of advertising in Seattle.

00:26:42Probably just as much as in Chicago.

00:26:44Maybe you could get a job.

00:26:46I mean, I don't see any reason why you can't live closer to us.

00:26:49Yeah, then we could see you every week.

00:26:51My friend Nancy sees her mom Sunday through Wednesday,

00:26:54and then she sees her dad Thursday through Saturday.

00:26:56Yeah, and you and Mom might even, you know.

00:26:59I mean, you never know.

00:27:03I'll tell you what, let's get this car packed

00:27:05and then let's go get something to eat.

00:27:07You wanna get something to eat?

00:27:08Sure. Okay.

00:27:15Hi, everybody.

00:27:16Hi.

00:27:17You're Jill and Alexis, right?

00:27:20You look different from your picture.

00:27:23Jill, Lexi, this is Jolene.

00:27:26Hi.

00:27:35I met your dad at the bank.

00:27:37I was a loan officer.

00:27:39You borrowed money?

00:27:40No, just every time I came in there, I saw her.

00:27:42And then one day, he asked me out.

00:27:45Well, I'm not at the bank anymore.

00:27:47I've gone back to school.

00:27:48To get her MBA.

00:27:49Do you want a piece, Alexis?

00:27:50She's dieting.

00:27:51She's always dieting.

00:27:52I am not dieting.

00:27:53I just don't wanna be.

00:27:54Oh, great.

00:27:58Great.

00:28:01It doesn't feel like it's almost Christmas.

00:28:02Are you still gonna get a treat, Daddy?

00:28:03He's coming to Seattle to visit us, right?

00:28:04Well, as a matter of fact, we've been thinking about going to Colorado.

00:28:05Go skiing.

00:28:06We'd love to have you come and stay with us.

00:28:07We'd love to have you come and stay with us.

00:28:08Yeah.

00:28:09Yeah.

00:28:10Yeah.

00:28:11Yeah.

00:28:12Yeah.

00:28:13Yeah.

00:28:14Yeah.

00:28:15Yeah.

00:28:16Yeah.

00:28:17Yeah.

00:28:18Yeah.

00:28:19Yeah.

00:28:20Yeah.

00:28:21Yeah.

00:28:22Yeah.

00:28:23Yeah.

00:28:24Yeah.

00:28:25Yeah.

00:28:26Yeah.

00:28:27Yeah.

00:28:28Yeah.

00:28:29Yeah.

00:28:30Yeah.

00:28:31You know, I'm going to go skiing.

00:28:32We'd love to have you come and stay with us for a few days.

00:28:33Absolutely.

00:28:34Jill, how do you like that pizza?

00:28:35Mmm.

00:28:36Mmm.

00:28:37Mmm.

00:28:46Um, waiter, can you take this?

00:28:47Mm-hmm.

00:28:48Are you sure?

00:28:51You've hardly touched a thing, Alexis.

00:28:53It's Lexi.

00:28:54And I'm very sure.

00:28:59I hope she eats and eats and eats and gets so huge that by the time summer comes my dad

00:29:15will find her totally repulsive.

00:29:18Don't hold your breath.

00:29:21I wish you were here.

00:29:23We could like go vintage clothes shopping or something.

00:29:27Yeah, me too.

00:29:29This place is Omwe City.

00:29:32Call me when you get back, okay?

00:29:33Okay.

00:29:34I will.

00:29:35Bye.

00:29:36Bye.

00:29:59Bye.

00:30:12Lex, honey, I need to borrow a tampon.

00:30:30Um, I don't have any.

00:30:32Sorry.

00:30:32Well, you didn't have any last month either.

00:30:35When was the last time you had your period?

00:30:38I don't know.

00:30:39Well, you keep track of it in your calendar, don't you?

00:30:42Mom, can you just leave?

00:30:45I have to get dressed.

00:30:47You haven't had one in three months?

00:30:49Maybe it's time I took you to a gynecologist.

00:30:52No, I'm not going.

00:30:54Forget it.

00:30:55I don't want some guy looking at me down there.

00:30:58I won't go to a woman.

00:31:00I need to go myself.

00:31:09We'll send the urine, blood, and pap smear to the lab.

00:31:11I'll let you know if there's anything unusual.

00:31:13Dr. Walker, what about Lexi's irregular periods?

00:31:17Do you think that she might have an eating problem?

00:31:21She weighs 115 pounds, which is not low for her height.

00:31:25Well, I know, but I read that one of the danger signals is if your period stops.

00:31:30Fluctuations of the menstrual cycle are common at her age.

00:31:32If you're looking for a cause, I'd say it's most likely the trauma of the divorce and the moving.

00:31:38We'll check her again in six months.

00:31:40Okay.

00:31:41Thank you very much.

00:31:44Well, Jen's idea worked.

00:31:46Oh, hi.

00:32:04How was practice?

00:32:05Fine.

00:32:07I want to do a few more exercises while my muscles are warm.

00:32:10No.

00:32:11Dinner's ready now, so come sit down.

00:32:12I made something special.

00:32:15What is it?

00:32:16I call it chicken tahiti.

00:32:18It has pineapples in it.

00:32:19I love pineapples.

00:32:21Can I just have a little rice?

00:32:23I'm not eating meat.

00:32:25So, now you're a vegetarian?

00:32:27Uh-huh.

00:32:29Well, you can have the pineapples without the chicken.

00:32:32And I made an avocado salad.

00:32:35Avocados are pure fat, Mom.

00:32:37They have lots of potassium, Lexi.

00:32:40And besides, you need to eat something more than rice.

00:32:42I don't want anything else.

00:32:45What's the occasion, anyway?

00:32:47I just wanted to have a nice family dinner together.

00:32:50Okay?

00:32:51Flowers?

00:32:53Tablecloth?

00:32:54Mom, you really need a boyfriend.

00:32:57I mean, Dad has a girlfriend.

00:33:02Well, why shouldn't she know?

00:33:04I got my report card.

00:33:23Straight A's.

00:33:26I'm very proud of you, Lexi.

00:33:34I love water.

00:34:01It's so pure.

00:34:04Pure and good.

00:34:06Just like us.

00:34:11You'd think I just had sex or something.

00:34:15I mean, the way I'm panting.

00:34:17Yeah, is that what it's like, Lex?

00:34:19Well, those are quite so active.

00:34:22I mean, I just kind of laid there.

00:34:26Alexis Archer?

00:34:28Are you saying that you're not a virgin?

00:34:29Oh, my God.

00:34:32When?

00:34:32Who?

00:34:33It was back in Chicago.

00:34:36My next-door neighbor, Brandon.

00:34:38But it doesn't count.

00:34:39Of course it counts.

00:34:41It's a lot more than me.

00:34:42What?

00:34:44I totally thought you would have done it.

00:34:47Yeah, well, I'm an actress, remember?

00:34:49Come on.

00:34:52We're going to be late for practice.

00:34:54Oh, come on.

00:34:56Okay.

00:34:58Hey, Archer, I think you need to put on a few pounds.

00:35:04Are you ready?

00:35:05Got it, thanks.

00:35:13Come on, Jax.

00:35:14One ticket is not enough.

00:35:16So, what do I get if I win?

00:35:18Tripped party.

00:35:20I just hope that she's not getting too thin.

00:35:23I wouldn't worry too much about her.

00:35:24She's a real sensible girl.

00:35:26I know, but...

00:35:27Hi.

00:35:28Oh, sorry to barge in.

00:35:29That's okay.

00:35:30How you been?

00:35:30Good.

00:35:31I'm Pamela Harnsberg.

00:35:32Oh, Jennifer's mom.

00:35:34Yes, Catherine.

00:35:34Catherine Archer.

00:35:35Yeah, Lexi just pointed you out.

00:35:36I thought I'd just come say hello

00:35:38since the girls have become such good friends.

00:35:40Oh, isn't that great?

00:35:41You know, when we first moved her,

00:35:42she was worried she wasn't going to make any friends and...

00:35:45Okay, that's great.

00:35:51So, what is this for, anyway?

00:35:54A local newspaper.

00:35:55I freelance for it.

00:35:57I know this is going to sound a bit like a line,

00:35:59but have you ever considered being a model?

00:36:01Oh, all the time.

00:36:04Here's my card.

00:36:05Why don't you stop by the studio sometime,

00:36:07and we'll take a few shots.

00:36:09Okay.

00:36:21Jill.

00:36:24Do you think I could be a model?

00:36:25No way.

00:36:29Show us what you know.

00:36:31There's this photographer that's going to take pictures of me and Jen.

00:36:34Like, he's going to discover us,

00:36:36and pretty soon we're going to be in all the fashion magazines,

00:36:39earning tons of money and traveling.

00:36:43I mean, what do you know, anyway?

00:36:46Get out of here.

00:36:47I can't believe we're doing this.

00:36:59What if he's some kind of perv?

00:37:01Pervs don't give you their parts.

00:37:03Nick McCabe, fashion photography.

00:37:06So what are we going to tell our parents about the movie we're not seeing?

00:37:08We'll tell them we both hated it.

00:37:10That way they won't go see it.

00:37:12Ah.

00:37:12Et voila.

00:37:15Weed, cut, cut.

00:37:18Yay!

00:37:20Hello.

00:37:21Uh, Jennifer Harnsberger.

00:37:23Hey, Jennifer.

00:37:24Come on up.

00:37:33Oh, hi.

00:37:35Hi.

00:37:36I thought you were coming alone.

00:37:40Oh, um, this is my friend Lexi.

00:37:42She was at the fundraiser with me, remember?

00:37:44Yeah, right.

00:37:44How you doing?

00:37:45I was thinking that maybe you could take some pictures of her, too.

00:37:50Um, could you excuse us for a moment?

00:37:53Sure.

00:37:56I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings,

00:37:59but your friend's not really model material.

00:38:01She's skinnier than I am.

00:38:02Yeah, I know, but it's all in the structure.

00:38:05I mean, how it all hangs together.

00:38:07I mean, it's nothing personal.

00:38:09You know what?

00:38:11I better get going.

00:38:14No, look, I, uh...

00:38:15I gotta go.

00:38:22Lexi!

00:38:23No, I'm okay, really.

00:38:24Go back in and let him take pictures of you.

00:38:26I don't want to go back.

00:38:28You're model material, and I'm not.

00:38:30Yeah, right.

00:38:32Come on.

00:38:33He was a jerk, anyhow.

00:38:43But your friend's not really model material.

00:38:46I'm fat, aren't I?

00:38:47No, you are not fat.

00:38:49You put on a few extra pounds this summer.

00:38:53Big deal.

00:38:55You jump a lot higher.

00:38:56He jumps away.

00:38:57Just a few pounds can make all the difference.

00:39:02Where's your sister?

00:39:03She's gonna be late.

00:39:05I don't know.

00:39:07Well, look who woke up.

00:39:10Here.

00:39:11I don't want any.

00:39:12You need to eat.

00:39:13Did you forget you got the semifinals today?

00:39:16I'm coming, by the way.

00:39:18I'm leaving work early.

00:39:24You don't eat, you don't play volleyball today.

00:39:26Got it?

00:39:27Yeah, how are you gonna stop me?

00:39:28I'll call your coach.

00:39:29Now, what's this I hear about some photographer wanting to take pictures of you and Jennifer?

00:39:38It's a good way to get yourself raped.

00:39:40Mom, do you want to fight her?

00:39:41Do you want me to eat?

00:39:43I want you to eat.

00:39:44I want you to eat.

00:40:14One, two, three, set up!

00:40:25Let's try.

00:40:26One, two, three, set up!

00:40:28One, two, three, set up!

00:40:38Woo!

00:40:38All right.

00:40:39Woo!

00:40:52Oh, my god.

00:40:56Lexi.

00:40:57Lexi.

00:41:01Oh, my god.

00:41:03She's unconscious.

00:41:04Call an ambulance.

00:41:05Now.

00:41:08A baby.

00:41:10I love you.

00:41:11Yeah.

00:41:17Malnutrition takes a major toll on the body.

00:41:21Let me put it in layman's terms.

00:41:24What happens with anorexia is that all of your muscles

00:41:27get smaller and weaker, including your heart.

00:41:30Lexi collapsed because her smaller, weaker heart

00:41:33couldn't get enough blood to her smaller, weaker leg muscles.

00:41:37Was that why she blacked out, too?

00:41:39She blacked out most likely because of arrhythmia

00:41:41or a regular heartbeat.

00:41:44But she's not going to die.

00:41:45No.

00:41:46Not if she eats.

00:41:47Now, treatment is three-pronged.

00:41:49Medical, nutritional, and psychological.

00:41:52But restoration of appetite is the cornerstone of recovery.

00:41:57And if, um, if she doesn't eat?

00:42:01We'll use a feeding tube only as a last resort.

00:42:07Once she gets physically better, she'll regain the mental focus

00:42:10to begin the real work.

00:42:12Which is?

00:42:13Dealing with all the feelings that she starved behind.

00:42:16Alexis?

00:42:17Hi.

00:42:18I'm Phoebe.

00:42:19I'm going to be your nutritionist.

00:42:20It's Lexi.

00:42:21Lexi.

00:42:22I like it.

00:42:23For starters, can I ask you to stand on the scale backwards?

00:42:39Why are you weighing me backwards?

00:42:46So you don't see your weight.

00:43:04Hey, Arnsberger.

00:43:06You're not going to pull Lexi anorexia on us, are you?

00:43:08There's nothing to joke about, Chester.

00:43:12You know it's not.

00:43:15Let's have a fright.

00:43:36Let's see you take a few bites, Lexi.

00:43:46If you don't, no TV, no going outside.

00:43:49They'll keep you in your room like you're sick.

00:43:57My goal, Lexi, is to get you to eat three to five times a day

00:44:00without worrying about your weight.

00:44:02I want you to be able to eat when you're hungry,

00:44:04stop when you're full, and to trust food.

00:44:07How's that sound?

00:44:10Look, you're normal.

00:44:13You can eat normally.

00:44:15I can't.

00:44:16If I do, I get fat.

00:44:19Why don't you tell me what you've been eating?

00:44:21Let's start with breakfast.

00:44:23Some herb tea, maybe a piece of fruit.

00:44:27Morning snack?

00:44:28Gum.

00:44:30Lunch?

00:44:34One cracker, some carrots or pickles,

00:44:38and water or diet soda.

00:44:42Afternoon snack?

00:44:44Gum.

00:44:46How about dinner?

00:44:48Salad or veggies.

00:44:50Dry, I presume.

00:44:53And, uh, a half cup rice.

00:44:56So we're talking about, say, 500 calories a day?

00:45:00650 max.

00:45:02Like, if I have a non-bite yogurt.

00:45:10Tell me, Lexi, what do you feel your ideal weight is?

00:45:15Maybe...

00:45:17100?

00:45:18Weighed in at 94.

00:45:20And a girl your size should ideally weigh about 125.

00:45:24Forget it.

00:45:25There's no way I'm gaining all that weight back.

00:45:28Do me a favor.

00:45:30Go over to the mirror.

00:45:36Now tell me what you see.

00:45:41Fat thighs.

00:45:43Humongous hips.

00:45:44Kind of like those funhouse mirrors that make you look wider than you are.

00:45:49Yeah, but that's what I really look like, though.

00:45:53I mean, this isn't a trick mirror or anything, is it?

00:45:55No.

00:45:57But your anorexia is.

00:45:59A trick mirror that makes you think what you're seeing is real.

00:46:01What I'm going to help you do is change the mirror.

00:46:07What I'm going to help you do is change the mirror.

00:46:10is this what you want?

00:46:13I'm not going to help you.

00:46:14Is this what you want?

00:46:40Yeah, Mom. I've always wanted a needle in my hand.

00:46:42Okay.

00:46:45You don't care about TV or going outside.

00:46:49What about the phone?

00:46:51There's no one I want to talk to.

00:46:53Not even Jen.

00:46:59Start eating more than lettuce and you can use the telephone.

00:47:03But they want me to eat a whole meal.

00:47:05I'll talk to them.

00:47:07I'll try to work something out, something more gradual, okay?

00:47:10Okay.

00:47:12Lexi, calm down and relax, all right?

00:47:16Please.

00:47:19What's going on?

00:47:21What in the hell are you doing?

00:47:22Please, Mrs. Archer, please.

00:47:25How dare you order that feeding tube?

00:47:33How dare you not tell me what's going on with my daughter?

00:47:36I called you.

00:47:38You never return your calls.

00:47:39She needs nutrients, Catherine.

00:47:40This is the only way she's going to get them.

00:47:42She was just about to start eating, Peter.

00:47:44That's not what Dr. Eden said.

00:47:47And you know what, Catherine?

00:47:47I think it probably is a good idea if Lexi came and stayed with me for a while.

00:47:50She doesn't seem to be doing so well here.

00:47:52And of course it's my fault.

00:47:54It has nothing to do with the fact that her father abandoned his family.

00:47:57I did not abandon you, Catherine.

00:47:59I gave you notice.

00:48:00Oh, excuse me.

00:48:01I forgot.

00:48:03Besides, you know damn well it was for the best.

00:48:06Best for you, maybe.

00:48:08My God, you are so self-centered.

00:48:10Well, at least I take action.

00:48:12I don't wait until it's too late.

00:48:15Too late for what?

00:48:17A real connection with another human being?

00:48:20She doesn't need the damn tube.

00:48:35Honey, I am so sorry.

00:48:38I know this wasn't fun.

00:48:40But it had to be done.

00:48:43You weren't eating, Lexi.

00:48:46Honey.

00:48:50Honey, you have got to start eating, okay?

00:48:54All right.

00:48:56That's my girl.

00:49:00I love you.

00:49:02I love you a lot.

00:49:09You are mine.

00:49:20Jen!

00:49:29Bonjour, ma petite abogie.

00:49:32My little eggplant?

00:49:34I love eggplant.

00:49:37Hi.

00:49:38Hello.

00:49:41Not bad.

00:49:42Sort of a club med with nurses.

00:49:45When do you get out?

00:49:47Ten more pounds.

00:49:48Oh, guess what?

00:49:52My parents are buying me a car.

00:49:54What?

00:49:55You lucky?

00:49:57What kind of car?

00:49:58I don't know.

00:49:58They won't tell me.

00:49:59They said it's a surprise.

00:50:01That is so cool.

00:50:03Now you can drive me around.

00:50:04Oh, yes.

00:50:06We can go to L.A. or San Francisco.

00:50:08We could drive all the way to New York.

00:50:14Oh.

00:50:15No, I did not forget your birthday.

00:50:20A week ago, right?

00:50:31Master Adam.

00:50:32My soul sister.

00:50:35Jen, I love it.

00:50:36I'm so proud of you for getting better.

00:50:43You know, you can too.

00:50:45No, not me.

00:50:49Why not?

00:50:53As my dad would say,

00:50:54I just don't want it enough.

00:50:57You know, I like Phoebe's idea

00:51:07about having you plan the meals

00:51:08and even cook some of them.

00:51:11It's better than takeout.

00:51:12Thanks a lot.

00:51:14I just wish I would stop gaming.

00:51:16She told you.

00:51:17Why, honey?

00:51:18I know.

00:51:19I have to get my metabolism back up.

00:51:21And then my set point

00:51:22will eventually drop back down to normal.

00:51:24That's right.

00:51:25Oh, by the way,

00:51:26summer school starts next week

00:51:27and you still have to make up

00:51:28biology and history.

00:51:30I wish Jen were going.

00:51:34Mom, I'm worried about her.

00:51:37What do you mean?

00:51:41Let's just say that Jen's the one

00:51:43who taught me.

00:51:46She taught you what?

00:51:47How to purge.

00:51:51I hate that word.

00:51:53Why don't they just say barf?

00:51:54Are you saying that Jennifer

00:51:55is bulimic?

00:51:59Please don't tell anyone.

00:52:00Mom, you're not going to say anything, right?

00:52:02If she knew that I told you...

00:52:03Well, what about her health?

00:52:05I mean, do you think

00:52:06that she is in any danger, Lexi?

00:52:08Mom, you don't understand.

00:52:11She doesn't want to stop.

00:52:12She can't.

00:52:13Is it going to be difficult

00:52:19for you to be around her?

00:52:21Mom, what do you mean?

00:52:23I want to be around her.

00:52:24She's my best friend.

00:52:26I didn't say you couldn't be.

00:52:28So calm down.

00:52:39Okay.

00:52:40Let's try it.

00:52:43You're an amazing cook.

00:52:52Who knew?

00:52:54It's all fresh vegetables and herbs.

00:52:57Shouldn't soup be hot

00:52:59with noodles in it?

00:53:02I gotta get going.

00:53:04You sure you can't sleep at lunch?

00:53:05Yeah, my parents have some old friends in town

00:53:07and they want to show me off.

00:53:09Smile.

00:53:10I'll pick you up after school tomorrow.

00:53:14We'll go to the beach.

00:53:14Okay.

00:53:15Ciao.

00:53:15Bye.

00:53:17Bye.

00:53:17Hi, Pamela.

00:53:24Hi, Pamela.

00:53:24Hello, Catherine.

00:53:25I was on my way home from work

00:53:40and I just stopped by

00:53:40to drop off Jennifer's sweater.

00:53:42I think she left it at the clinic.

00:53:43Oh, that's not her sweater.

00:53:45Oh, well, I thought it was.

00:53:49How's Lexi, by the way?

00:53:50She's much better.

00:53:52She started summer school.

00:53:55Hey, actually, Pamela,

00:53:58um, Lexi is worried about Jennifer.

00:54:02What?

00:54:02She thinks that Jennifer

00:54:05may have an eating disorder, too.

00:54:08Jennifer isn't underweight.

00:54:10All you have to do is look at her.

00:54:12I know, but that doesn't mean

00:54:13that she might not be

00:54:14seriously undernourished.

00:54:16You see,

00:54:17bulimics can still maintain

00:54:18their normal body weight

00:54:20and still be in danger.

00:54:21Please.

00:54:21I appreciate your concern,

00:54:23but Jennifer isn't bulimic.

00:54:25I think I would know

00:54:26if she was doing

00:54:27anything like that.

00:54:29That's one of the reasons

00:54:30I decided not to have a career

00:54:31so I could be here

00:54:32and know what's going on.

00:54:34Well, I understand.

00:54:37I'm sorry to have bothered you

00:54:39about the sweater.

00:55:00Hey, Lexi.

00:55:08I didn't know you were

00:55:09in summer school.

00:55:10Yeah, I got to make up

00:55:11what I missed.

00:55:12Yeah, I heard you had

00:55:13some kind of eating problem.

00:55:15Um, yeah, I'm working on it.

00:55:17I can tell.

00:55:19You can?

00:55:21Yeah, you look good.

00:55:23You know, you're getting

00:55:24way too skinny there.

00:55:27Thanks.

00:55:27Oh, Jen.

00:55:31See you later.

00:55:32See ya.

00:55:36Hi.

00:55:37Thanks for telling your mom.

00:55:50Jen, it's me again.

00:55:52Your message tape

00:55:53probably ran out

00:55:54and I called so much,

00:55:55but I really need

00:55:56to talk to you.

00:55:58Please call me.

00:56:00Bye.

00:56:04Go away.

00:56:06I said go away.

00:56:07It's, uh,

00:56:08vegetable chow mein.

00:56:10I don't want any.

00:56:13Well, leave it here.

00:56:14In case maybe,

00:56:15maybe later.

00:56:17All you care about

00:56:17is whether I eat or not.

00:56:18I'm your mother.

00:56:21I can't help it.

00:56:23Mothers want their children

00:56:24to eat,

00:56:25to grow,

00:56:25to thrive.

00:56:26Well, I can't thrive

00:56:27without friends.

00:56:29And you don't want me

00:56:30to have any,

00:56:30especially Jen.

00:56:31You told me

00:56:32you wanted to help Jennifer.

00:56:35No, I told you

00:56:36not to tell anybody,

00:56:38especially her mom.

00:56:40Well, Lexi,

00:56:41I'm sorry.

00:56:41Who cares if you're sorry?

00:56:43It doesn't change anything.

00:56:45Jen's not talking to me.

00:56:46She doesn't even

00:56:46want to see me.

00:56:47Lexi, please.

00:56:49Honey, you've got to eat.

00:56:50I hate you.

00:56:54Fine.

00:56:55You can eat it

00:56:56off the floor.

00:56:57Guess what?

00:57:07I'm failing chemistry

00:57:08in summer school, too.

00:57:10It's not your lunch, is it?

00:57:12No, I forgot it at home.

00:57:15Have you seen Jen around?

00:57:18Well, actually,

00:57:19we'll probably see it her night

00:57:20at the Labor Day weekend party

00:57:21at Mission Beach.

00:57:22Why don't you come with us?

00:57:24No, I can't.

00:57:25I have to study.

00:57:26Come on, Lex.

00:57:28It's Friday night, huh?

00:57:32Maybe.

00:57:33Maybe I'll see you there.

00:57:36All right, throw it.

00:57:37Throw it.

00:57:51Six o'clock.

00:57:52Here.

00:57:56Hi, Lexi.

00:58:17How you doing?

00:58:18Okay.

00:58:20Coming to Groove, right?

00:58:21Uh, yeah.

00:58:23I just forgot something.

00:58:24See you up there.

00:58:36And then there's the Macintosh,

00:58:38which has a tasty skin,

00:58:39but it tends to be mealy.

00:58:41Oh, excuse me for a moment.

00:58:44Hello?

00:58:45Catherine?

00:58:46This is Phoebe Wills.

00:58:48Lexi didn't show up

00:58:49in therapy today.

00:58:50We're gonna get a squat.

00:58:52Let's watch.

00:58:54Let's watch.

00:58:56Oh, yeah, yeah!

00:58:59Oh, yeah!

00:59:00Oh, yeah!

00:59:02Oh!

00:59:07Ah!

00:59:08Ah!

00:59:09Ah!

00:59:10Ah!

00:59:11Ah!

00:59:12Ah!

00:59:13Ah!

00:59:14Ah!

00:59:15Ah!

00:59:16Oh!

00:59:17Hi!

00:59:18Hi!

00:59:19So are you gonna play volleyball this year?

00:59:21Maybe.

00:59:22It all depends.

00:59:23No, no, no.

00:59:24You have to.

00:59:25We need you.

00:59:26Well, I have to keep my weight at a certain level

00:59:28or I'm not allowed to exercise.

00:59:30Exercise makes me eat.

00:59:32I'm looking for Jen.

00:59:33Have you seen her?

00:59:34Yeah.

00:59:35She's over there dancing.

00:59:43Yes.

00:59:44Hey.

00:59:45Hey.

00:59:46Hey.

00:59:47Hey.

00:59:48Jen's in the zone.

00:59:49I, uh, hope she doesn't fall into the fire.

00:59:51I've never seen her like this.

00:59:52You know Jen, why?

00:59:53She never drinks.

00:59:54She needs some food.

00:59:55There's nothing around here but some empty chip bags.

00:59:56I could stand a bourbon.

00:59:57Deal.

00:59:58Come on.

00:59:59Do you feel better once you eat?

01:00:00I feel better if Lex is not following me around.

01:00:01Who invited her anyway?

01:00:02I did?

01:00:03Yeah?

01:00:04Yeah.

01:00:05Yeah.

01:00:06She's spying on me.

01:00:07Yeah.

01:00:08She's spying on me.

01:00:09Yeah.

01:00:10Yeah.

01:00:11She's spying on me.

01:00:12No, no, no, no.

01:00:13No, no, no.

01:00:14No, no, no.

01:00:15No, no, no.

01:00:16No, no, no.

01:00:17No, no, no.

01:00:18No, no, no.

01:00:19No, no, no.

01:00:20No, no, no.

01:00:21No, no, no.

01:00:22No, no, no.

01:00:23Yeah.

01:00:24She's spying on me.

01:00:25Maybe I wouldn't have to if you'd return my phone.

01:00:27Whoa, whoa.

01:00:28You guys are just way too intense.

01:00:30Yeah.

01:00:31Give it up.

01:00:32Just stop following me.

01:00:33You and I are not friends anymore.

01:00:35Okay?

01:00:36Jen, this is nuts.

01:00:37Just leave me alone.

01:00:38I can take care of myself.

01:00:39Jen.

01:00:40All right.

01:00:41Why is she so mad at you?

01:00:42Because I told something that I wasn't supposed to.

01:00:46Jen, I really need to talk to you.

01:01:05I'm so sorry.

01:01:08Don't you understand that I hate you?

01:01:11I never wanna see you again.

01:01:14Okay?

01:01:41She's gone.

01:02:11Then you're saying that she died from shock?

01:02:16I'm saying she died of cardiac arrest, not from the impact.

01:02:21Doctor, I want to know how a young, beautiful, healthy girl dies from a cardiac arrest.

01:02:28She had no history of heart problems?

01:02:30No.

01:02:34Do you know if your daughter was bulimic?

01:02:36What?

01:02:37Did she overeat and then throw it up on a regular basis?

01:02:41Of course not.

01:02:42That's disgusting.

01:02:42Her esophagus was severely lacerated, which is a common symptom of bulimia.

01:02:47We're checking her electrolytes right now to see if there's any imbalance.

01:02:52If there is.

01:02:54It may answer your question.

01:02:56Why your daughter's heart went into cardiac arrest for no apparent reason.

01:03:11Jen!

01:03:12Jen!

01:03:12No!

01:03:13Don't go!

01:03:14Jen!

01:03:14Please!

01:03:15Jen!

01:03:15Please!

01:03:16Jen!

01:03:16Go back!

01:03:17Jen!

01:03:18Jen!

01:03:19Jen!

01:03:20Jen!

01:03:21Jen!

01:03:22Jen!

01:03:23No!

01:03:24Don't go!

01:03:25Jen!

01:03:26Please!

01:03:27Jen!

01:03:28Please!

01:03:29Please!

01:03:30Jen!

01:03:31Jen!

01:03:32Go back!

01:03:35Jen!

01:03:36Jen!

01:03:39Jen!

01:03:40Jen!

01:03:41Jen!

01:03:49Jen!

01:03:50Jen!

01:03:54Jen!

01:03:59Jen!

01:04:01She's their她's hearing059-510.

01:04:02Jen!

01:04:03People!

01:04:04Jen!

01:04:05Jen, gluten, gluten.

01:04:06I don't want to talk to him.

01:04:36She doesn't talk to any of us.

01:04:37I'll talk to him.

01:04:40No, she's not okay.

01:04:42Her best friend just died, and she thinks it's all her fault.

01:04:49Here, Jill wants to talk to you.

01:04:52Hi, Daddy.

01:04:53Guess what we're having for dinner.

01:04:55Tofu lasagna.

01:04:57Lexi?

01:04:58Dinner?

01:04:59Mom thinks Lexi will eat it because she's a vegetarian, but she won't.

01:05:03She never eats anything.

01:05:04She's like a ghost.

01:05:06No, no, Lexi, move her to the couch.

01:05:30Mom, I have to get rid of it.

01:05:32Mom, please.

01:05:32I have to get rid of it.

01:05:34Wait.

01:05:35Wait.

01:05:36My stomach hurts.

01:05:37I know.

01:05:38I know, but it's better than throwing it up.

01:05:41Mom, I'm going to get as big as hell.

01:05:43I'm going to explode.

01:05:45That's because you let yourself get too hungry.

01:05:48You don't eat anything all day.

01:05:50I know, but I don't want to get fat.

01:05:52Shh, shh, shh, shh.

01:05:53Please, I have to get rid of it.

01:05:54No, no, no, no, no, no.

01:05:55Please, Mom.

01:05:57Close your eyes.

01:05:58I love you.

01:05:59Close your eyes.

01:06:00That's it.

01:06:02That's it.

01:06:04That's it.

01:06:06Shh.

01:06:09Shh.

01:06:10Lexi?

01:06:14Lexi?

01:06:16Lexi?

01:06:17Lexi?

01:06:43Lexi?

01:06:44Lexi?

01:06:45Lexi?

01:06:47I can't... I can't do this again.

01:06:52You leave me no choice, Lexi.

01:06:54Please, Mom.

01:06:55Don't.

01:06:57Lexi, this is hard enough.

01:07:01If I go in there, I'm gonna die.

01:07:03I know I will.

01:07:05No.

01:07:07You're easy.

01:07:17Why are you doing this to me?

01:07:19Because I don't know what else to do.

01:07:21Now, come on. Get out of the car.

01:07:23Do you hate me?

01:07:25I don't hate you, Lexi.

01:07:27I hate this thing.

01:07:29This demon that's consuming you.

01:07:32So do I.

01:07:34So fight it, Lexi. Beat it.

01:07:38It's not that easy.

01:07:41I don't know what else to do.

01:07:43Why are you doing this to me?

01:07:45I don't have the strength.

01:07:50But Jen did.

01:07:52She was always so strong.

01:07:55Jen is dead.

01:07:59Why aren't I?

01:08:02It's not your fault.

01:08:04Yes, it is.

01:08:06If I had to go to that party, she'd be here now.

01:08:10She wanted to get away because of me,

01:08:13because I was at the party.

01:08:16Don't you see?

01:08:18If I had a gun, she wouldn't have gotten hit.

01:08:22Oh, God.

01:08:33Oh, God.

01:08:35Promise me that she'll start to eat again.

01:08:58Promise me a try.

01:09:00What I'd like to do is take my two-week vacation.

01:09:12Now?

01:09:13Starting tomorrow.

01:09:14We're very busy right now, Catherine.

01:09:16This isn't the best time.

01:09:17I know.

01:09:18But Lexi's health, her life as it's taken,

01:09:20I have to be there for her, Ted.

01:09:22I don't understand why you just can't make her eat.

01:09:25I mean, my kids give me trouble.

01:09:27I ground them for a week.

01:09:28Well, that's the problem.

01:09:30Everybody thinks it's so simple.

01:09:32But it's not.

01:09:34Anyway, she's already grounded herself.

01:09:36She doesn't do anything.

01:09:38She's too weak to do anything.

01:09:40Sounds to me like she just doesn't want to go to school.

01:09:43Do you know how many girls die of anorexia

01:09:47in this country every year?

01:09:49I'm talking mostly high-achieving, straight-A students.

01:09:53I remember about Karen Carpenter.

01:09:56I don't want my daughter to be one of them.

01:09:59Okay.

01:10:02Thanks, Ted.

01:10:09Mom?

01:10:10Oh, I fell asleep.

01:10:18What time is it?

01:10:20Oh, my God, it's almost three.

01:10:25How about some yogurt?

01:10:27You think you can handle that?

01:10:39Here.

01:10:40It's nonfat.

01:10:42I want you to try a little.

01:10:45Lexi, you said you were going to try.

01:10:47Please.

01:10:53I killed her, Mom.

01:10:56You didn't kill her.

01:10:58Her bulimia killed her.

01:11:00Just because her parents don't want to believe it.

01:11:03I just want to disappear.

01:11:10Lexi, no!

01:11:14Damn it.

01:11:18you, I did it, I did it, you're the only one.

01:11:24Thank you, sir.

01:11:26Let's go.

01:11:28You can see.

01:11:29You've done it today.

01:11:31You've been waiting.

01:11:32You can see.

01:11:33You've been waiting.

01:11:34You've been waiting.

01:11:35I'm waiting.

01:11:36You've been waiting.

01:11:37You've been waiting.

01:11:38To come to see a place in the eyes of the sea,

01:11:39you've looked and watched.

01:11:40Who are you waiting for that?

01:11:41I'm waiting.

01:11:42There?

01:11:43You're waiting for her,

01:11:44you've been waiting for her.

01:11:45Lexi?

01:11:56Lexi?

01:11:58Lexi?

01:12:00Lexi?

01:12:03Lexi?

01:12:04Lexi?

01:12:14I remember the night that you were born.

01:12:18I loved nursing you.

01:12:22I needed you as much as you needed me.

01:12:26You latched on and started sucking like a little pro,

01:12:29and all that pressure inside of me was gone.

01:12:34And when you were done,

01:12:36your little head rolled back.

01:12:40You looked so completely full and satisfied.

01:12:46Then I'd pick you up on my shoulder right next to my face.

01:12:52You smelled so sweet.

01:12:55Pat your little back until you let out a...

01:12:59a great big beautiful burp.

01:13:04It's so easy then.

01:13:11Honey, we still need each other.

01:13:15And sooner or later you're going to have to eat.

01:13:18I haven't gotten you this far to want you to die.

01:13:29It's good, Lex. Just a little at a time.

01:13:46I love you. You know that, don't you?

01:13:51Here we go.

01:13:57Peter, what are you doing here?

01:14:11Where is she?

01:14:12Daddy.

01:14:13Lexi.

01:14:14Oh, my God.

01:14:22She needs to be in a hospital.

01:14:23She didn't want to go.

01:14:24So I heard. As usual, not from you.

01:14:26I would have called you if she'd gone.

01:14:27So you took this whole thing into your entirely amateur hands.

01:14:30I am her mother, not an amateur.

01:14:32But you are not an expert, Catherine.

01:14:34Peter, she's eating and she's slowly gaining.

01:14:36Look at her, Catherine. She looks terrible.

01:14:38She can't even raise her head.

01:14:39I'm going to take her back to the hospital.

01:14:41No, Daddy. Please don't make me go there.

01:14:43Honey, I am not doing this to be mean, but I cannot and I will not let you die.

01:14:47Mom doesn't want me to die either.

01:14:49You can't do this, Peter.

01:14:51Damn it.

01:14:52You can't do it.

01:14:53Damn it, Catherine.

01:14:54Does Dr. Eden know what the hell is going on here?

01:14:56What is going on here is that I am doing my best to reparent her.

01:14:59Reparent? What the hell is that?

01:15:01Is that some kind of psycho babble?

01:15:03Well, whatever it is, I'm sure you'll find fault with it.

01:15:06Do you want to gamble with our daughter's life, Catherine?

01:15:08Is that what you want to do?

01:15:10We know the feeding tube works.

01:15:11But it's only temporary.

01:15:13I am trying to turn things around here.

01:15:15And what makes you think you can do that, Catherine?

01:15:18I don't know.

01:15:21Except that I believe in her.

01:15:24And, Peter, you have to believe in her, too.

01:15:27Just... just give me a week. Please.

01:15:35I can't do that. I can't do that, Catherine.

01:15:38I'm gonna pack her things.

01:15:40No, dammit!

01:15:41This is my house, and I want you out of here now.

01:15:45You forget that I have got sole custody of her.

01:15:47You forget I'm her father.

01:15:49When you feel like it.

01:15:50Stop it!

01:15:51Both of you!

01:15:53Just stop fighting! Please!

01:15:56I'll be back.

01:15:58I'll be back.

01:15:59I'll be back.

01:16:00I'll be back.

01:16:01I'll be back.

01:16:02I'll be back.

01:16:03I'll be back.

01:16:04You were back.

01:16:09Maybe your daughter has done!

01:16:14No!

01:16:16Why is it so hard for you just to eat?

01:16:41I'm sorry, Mom.

01:16:43I know I'm disappointing you.

01:16:46You're not disappointing me, Lexi.

01:16:50You're scaring me.

01:16:53I wish I could make everything the way it used to be.

01:17:03Hello?

01:17:08You what?

01:17:09That was your father.

01:17:24He's, uh...

01:17:27He's coming tomorrow to take you to the hospital.

01:17:31There's nothing I can do.

01:17:33He has a court order.

01:17:35Lexi.

01:17:35Damn it, stop it!

01:17:37What are you doing?

01:17:39I can't be here this morning.

01:17:41Lexi, I know...

01:17:42I know you're angry.

01:17:44You're angry at me.

01:17:48All of this has to do with me, doesn't it?

01:17:50Something I was supposed to be as a mother?

01:17:53Something I missed or something I wasn't aware of?

01:17:56Or something I did too much of or too little of or not at all?

01:17:59What is it?

01:18:01Tell me!

01:18:03Why do I think if I love you enough, you'll stop starving yourself?

01:18:08I want you to be your only person, Lexi.

01:18:13But I'm afraid if I let you go, you won't love yourself enough to make it.

01:18:19I have to let you go.

01:18:32Don't I?

01:18:39I'm not going to stop you, Lexi.

01:18:41Whether you live or you die, it's up to you now.

01:18:53You're on your own.

01:19:11You're on your own.

01:19:13Come on.

01:19:15Come on.

01:19:16Come on.

01:19:17Come on.

01:19:23No!

01:19:37Come on.

01:19:38Come on.

01:19:39Come on.

01:19:40Come on.

01:19:41I don't want to die.

01:19:45I don't want to die.

01:19:47I don't want to die.

01:20:08I...

01:20:09It's not some word.

01:20:36I gave you no choice, Captain.

01:20:38Fine.

01:20:38I gave you no choice, Captain.

01:20:42Lexi, your father's here.

01:20:53What, are you ready?

01:20:54Did you pack?

01:20:55Yeah, I packed last night, but...

01:20:58I don't think I need to go.

01:21:02Honey, I didn't go through all this to have an argument.

01:21:04I'm going to take you to the hospital.

01:21:05That's fine.

01:21:06You always do this, Peter.

01:21:08Wait until things are at their worst and come in and take over.

01:21:11Good, Catherine.

01:21:12At least finally you meant that things are bad.

01:21:14Lexi, let's go.

01:21:14No, Daddy.

01:21:15No, it's not an option.

01:21:16Where's your bag?

01:21:17Dad, this isn't your problem.

01:21:20It's not Mom's either.

01:21:22It's mine.

01:21:24And I need to deal with it.

01:21:26Whether I go to the hospital or not really isn't the point.

01:21:29Yes, it is a point.

01:21:30Listen to her, Peter.

01:21:32She's trying to tell you something.

01:21:34I know.

01:21:34She is trying to tell me she's not going to the hospital.

01:21:36No, I'm telling you that you're not going to ride in here on a white horse and save me, Daddy.

01:21:42I have to save myself.

01:21:44Lexi, all I want is for you to be well again.

01:21:58That is absolutely all I want.

01:22:03Do you understand that?

01:22:04I love you.

01:22:13I love you very, very much.

01:22:17And I promise you that I will always be here for you.

01:22:27Looking good, Lexi.

01:22:30Keep your weight stable for four more weeks and you can play volleyball again.

01:22:34Really?

01:22:35I know.

01:22:36It doesn't leave you many games.

01:22:38But your bones and muscles are still recouping their nutritional losses.

01:22:42Will you come and watch?

01:22:44You bet.

01:22:45I'll even cheer.

01:22:47Cool.

01:22:51Are you still thinking about going to live with Dad?

01:22:54No, not really.

01:22:57So, are you okay now?

01:23:01Yes, definitely better.

01:23:07But it's still a struggle.

01:23:09You know, every day I wake up and I ask myself,

01:23:12Lexi, are you going to hate yourself or are you going to love yourself?

01:23:17I never ask myself stuff like that.

01:23:21Well, I do and I probably will for a while.

01:23:24Do you love yourself today?

01:23:29Yeah, I do, actually.

01:23:31I even love you today.

01:23:34Yeah.

01:23:34Now that Lexi's back, maybe we'll win.

01:23:48Lexi, I'm putting you into set.

01:23:51We'll see how it goes.

01:23:52You let me know if you want out.

01:23:53Okay.

01:23:54Okay.

01:23:55All right.

01:23:55No earrings.

01:23:56No bobby pins.

01:23:58Spit out the gum, Sarah.

01:23:59Oh, Lexi, you'll have to remove that bracelet.

01:24:01Okay, guys, come on, time for a cheer.

01:25:01Woo!

01:25:04Oh!

01:25:07Let's go, let's go!

01:25:14Woo!

01:25:19Woo!

01:25:27Woo!

01:25:28Woo-hoo!

01:25:31Woo!

01:25:32Woo!

01:25:34Woo!

01:25:35Yeah!

01:25:36Yeah!

01:25:39Yeah!
