00:00Previously in Army Wives, we're moving to California.
00:17I'm Charlie.
00:19Charlotte.
00:20Welcome to the Youth Activity Center.
00:22Oh my God, Jackie!
00:25What?
00:25Please, go home.
00:27Everyone, we have a special guest.
00:29Jacqueline Clark, the wife of General Kevin Clark.
00:33She interrupts the FRG meeting, draws attention to herself.
00:38Now I wonder if it all wasn't just a little orchestrated.
00:43Have you considered some sort of concert?
00:46At Fort Hope, we held a backyard fundraiser with Craig Morgan.
00:51What a great idea.
00:52Yeah.
00:53You and Clark are competing for a third star.
00:57All I'm saying is, I want you to get everything you deserve.
01:02I don't want anything or anyone getting in your way.
01:16Hanging in there?
01:18Yeah.
01:18I don't want you to push after your accident.
01:20No.
01:21No, okay.
01:22You do this every day?
01:24Rain or shine.
01:25I just go three miles.
01:27Kevin has ten.
01:28He still leaves his officers in the dust.
01:31That's amazing.
01:34Hey, how's the concert coming?
01:36Great.
01:36I talked to Craig last night.
01:38He flies in tomorrow.
01:41So happy we were going to hear Craig Morgan in your front yard.
01:45If there's anything I can do.
01:51Actually, I'm having lunch today with some old Charleston money, trying to sell some more tables.
01:56You want to join me?
01:58Oh, I'd love to, but oh, I have a lunch.
02:01I could really use the help.
02:04And it wouldn't hurt to ratchet up your visibility.
02:07And Frank's.
02:08Hmm.
02:09No, thank you.
02:11But it's with Claudia Joy and a few others.
02:13Your usual group?
02:14Exactly.
02:17Okay.
02:19Last mile?
02:20Sure.
02:21Okay.
02:23Come on.
02:24Okay.
02:32Hey.
02:34Guess who I saw out jogging this morning?
02:36Who?
02:37Denise.
02:38Hmm.
02:40She was out running with Jackie Clark.
02:42Really?
02:43Mm-hmm.
02:45You should join him, Claudia Joy.
02:47I'll stick with my yoga and Pilates.
02:51Right.
02:52I better get moving.
03:06You got my memo?
03:07I did.
03:08Much appreciated.
03:09I just thought it would help to know how we ran things under the 23rd.
03:12Oh, absolutely, Michael.
03:13Michael, we have a very similar approach.
03:16There was one policy we had, though, at Ford Hope that I would like to implement here.
03:20What's that?
03:20We'd arrange a training schedule so that soldiers could be released early on Friday afternoons to be with their families,
03:27where possible, of course.
03:29That makes sense.
03:31That makes sense.
03:31Let them out early on Friday, they come back fired up on Monday.
03:33All right.
03:34I appreciate the heads up.
03:35One other thing.
03:37We should expand our urban terrain facility.
03:40Build it out another four blocks, add video cameras, improve the catwalks, really bring it up to state-of-the
03:47-art.
03:48Expensive.
03:49But necessary.
03:51I want 32nd to be the most versatile combat division in the Army.
03:57Now, with permission, I'd like to run the ID up to fly a polo trade-off.
04:02Chief of staff is a friend.
04:04Granted.
04:05Keep me posted.
04:06Will do.
04:13Okay.
04:14To Pamela.
04:16To Pamela.
04:18Gone but not forgotten.
04:20Yes.
04:21Hardly.
04:21I talk to her every night.
04:22Yeah.
04:23And?
04:25Awful news.
04:26Huh.
04:27She loves California.
04:30Oh, Roxy.
04:32Well, I was hoping she would hate it.
04:34Oh, it's good she's happy.
04:37I just don't like it that she's gone.
04:39Glad I have the new house to distract me.
04:42How's that going?
04:43It's a disaster.
04:45Boxes everywhere.
04:46I swear, they multiply at night.
04:49I know how you feel.
04:50And Trevor's no help.
04:52I mean, he's busier than ever now that he's platoon commander.
04:56Leader.
04:57Platoon leader.
04:58Whatever.
04:59Yeah, Frank is swamped too.
05:01With all the new families from Fort Hope, I barely get to see Joan these days.
05:05What about you, Claudia Joy?
05:07What's it like to be wife of the corps commander?
05:10Acting corps commander.
05:13So far, so good.
05:14What is this acting stuff?
05:16I thought Michael was in charge of everything.
05:18Corps commander is a three-star position.
05:20Michael only has two.
05:21To keep the job, the promotion board has to recommend him, and the Senate has to confirm him.
05:27Well, hell, who else are they going to give it to?
05:30Kevin Clark, possibly.
05:32Get out.
05:34What's wrong with the Clarks?
05:36Barbie and Ken.
05:37I saw them walking around the other day.
05:39Mm-mm.
05:40Don't like them.
05:41Why not?
05:43Because I am Team Holden all the way.
05:46I don't root for anyone else.
05:48Oh, Roxy, that's sweet.
05:50But it's not the way things work in the Army.
05:54It's the way things work in my Army.
05:55No one is rooting against Michael.
05:58Exactly.
05:59But fact is, Kevin Clark's the division commander now.
06:02And Joan says he's doing a great job so far.
06:04And Jackie's a sweetheart.
06:06I've known her for years.
06:07What about what she's doing with the concert for Hurricane Relief?
06:10Okay.
06:11Points for that.
06:12Mm-hmm.
06:13I mean, I cannot wait to see Craig Morgan.
06:16I love that guy.
06:22What?
06:25Actually, Roxy, that concert is for senior officers only.
06:29O5 and above.
06:30English, please.
06:31It means your spouse has to be at least a lieutenant colonel.
06:35Are you kidding me?
06:37Are you saying that now that Trevor's made officer, he's not officer enough?
06:44Mm-hmm.
06:45It's complicated.
06:47The post auditorium's closed for repairs, isn't it?
06:50That's right.
06:50Jackie's house was the best option, which means a limited guest list.
06:55So that's it.
06:57Nobody's sticking up for the little guy.
07:01Hmm.
07:01Hmm.
07:02What do you think about this?
07:05Well, um, it's not my FRG anymore.
07:28He got in a fight at school yesterday.
07:30His mom asked for my help.
07:34She's stretched pretty thin.
07:36Dad's in Afghanistan.
07:38She works full-time.
07:41Long story short,
07:45I convinced the principal not to suspend Jamal if he agreed to counseling.
07:51Right.
07:53I asked around.
07:55Your name came up.
07:57His mom signed off on it.
08:01You had a cancellation this morning.
08:05Yeah?
08:13Will you see him?
08:24Hey, Jamal.
08:25Dr. Burton.
08:27You want to talk about what's going on?
08:32Jamal.
08:34Yeah, I guess.
08:36Okay.
08:38Come on in.
08:40Come on in.
08:42Come on in.
08:43Come on in.
08:48No, it's Holdridge.
08:52Are you good?
08:54It's your batteries.
08:58First aid kit stopped.
09:03The men are ready, sir.
09:06Roger that, Sergeant.
09:10All right.
09:16First and second squad will begin when we go.
09:33Seat fire!
09:34Seat fire!
09:37Soldiers, clear your rifles and prepare to move down range.
09:41Clear your weapons.
09:42Take the safe.
09:45Private Oldridge.
09:46Yes, sir.
09:48Show me your weapon.
09:51You notice anything?
09:54I didn't place my rifle on safe, sir.
09:57Why is that, Holdridge?
09:58No excuse, sir.
09:59Unless you're getting ready to engage and kill the enemy, your weapon is on safe at all times.
10:05Is that understood?
10:06Yes, sir.
10:07Drop and give me 20.
10:08Yes, sir.
10:08Cut him out!
10:09Yes, sir.
10:11One.
10:11All right, everyone else down range to check your targets.
10:15Move!
10:16Five.
10:17A word, sir.
10:19Seven.
10:20Eight.
10:21Nine.
10:22Sir, you're doing an outstanding job as LT.
10:28You're also doing a heck of a job as Sergeant.
10:32Directive action is not your lane, sir.
10:38I guess I'm still thinking like a sergeant.
10:41Understandable.
10:42I've seen it before with Mustangs like you.
10:46But you've got to let your NCOs lead.
10:49I promise we'll get your men mission ready.
10:53I appreciate the heads up.
10:56Do you want to throw a barbecue this weekend?
11:05Well, it's no big deal.
11:06It's just the squad leaders and my platoon sergeant.
11:09And their wives.
11:10And their wives.
11:12And their kids.
11:14Well, they don't all have kids.
11:18So?
11:20What do you think?
11:22I think you're nuts.
11:24Rocks.
11:25No way.
11:27Abe, it...
11:28Trevor, this house is a mess.
11:31It's a barbecue.
11:32We can do it in the backyard.
11:34Like that solves everything.
11:36My platoon sergeant says it's going to be good for morale, so...
11:40Okay, so let him do it.
11:42I'm the platoon leader.
11:44Okay, so order him to do it.
11:46You outrank him, right?
11:48Yeah, I outrank him.
11:50But platoon sergeants, they're career guys.
11:52They know everything.
11:55It's important that I get along with him.
11:57Yeah?
11:58Well, it's more important that you get along with your wife.
12:02I'm working on it.
12:04Work harder.
12:07I am going to go read to the boys, okay?
12:11Okay, hey, hey.
12:15Okay, this weekend is out, but I suppose I can manage something for next weekend.
12:24I heard he told everybody Sunday.
12:28What?
12:29Yeah, we got field exercises next weekend.
12:31Trevor!
12:32Babe, we can do this.
12:33Yes, I know it.
12:35Yes.
12:39We.
12:43Yeah, that seems to be going around.
12:47I can't believe he dropped this on me.
12:50I know.
12:51Frank's done it to me, too.
12:52More than once.
12:53What is wrong with them?
12:55You don't understand what it takes to throw a simple little party.
12:58Tell me about it.
13:00Right now, my place looks like a bomb went off.
13:03Well, what's done is done.
13:05You have a party to host and not a lot of time to do it.
13:09Yeah.
13:09I'm thinking about going AWOL.
13:12Kate, don't worry about cleaning up the whole house.
13:15You just focus on the kitchen, the living room, the downstairs bath, and you shove everything else out of sight.
13:21What about food?
13:22Keep it simple and keep it coming.
13:25It doesn't have to be fancy, but it has to be a lot.
13:27So, like, double the normal serving size?
13:31Quadruple.
13:33Really?
13:34You're basically feeding a bunch of college football players.
13:37Right.
13:40See?
13:42That's why I came here.
13:43I knew you'd know what to do.
13:47You'll be fine.
13:48And if you run into a jam...
13:50Oh, forget it.
13:51I'll manage.
13:53There is one thing you could do for me, however.
13:58Hmm.
13:59What's that?
14:00Make Trevor a colonel for one night.
14:04Please get me into that Craig Morgan concert.
14:08Oh, God.
14:08I wish I could.
14:10I know.
14:11Just asking.
14:15Oh, by the way, this, um, barbecue shindig.
14:20Who pays for it?
14:22You do.
14:24Are you serious?
14:27Welcome to the officer side of the house.
14:31Some welcome.
14:48Claudia Joy.
14:49Oh, uh...
14:51Sorry, I was, uh...
14:54Looking for me?
14:55Yes.
14:56Hi.
14:56Hi.
14:57I moved, remember.
14:59Yeah.
14:59A force of habit.
15:01Not to worry.
15:01In fact, we could use another opinion.
15:04Jackie.
15:05No, I like Claudia Joy's taste in interior design.
15:07Do you mind?
15:09Uh, no.
15:12So, what do you think?
15:13Should it be on the right?
15:18Or...
15:20On the left.
15:22On the left.
15:24The right.
15:27Told you.
15:29The army only thinks we're in control.
15:32Couldn't agree more.
15:34Actually, Claudia Joy, do you mind stopping by the house later?
15:36I could use your advice on the concert.
15:38Sure.
15:39Four o'clock.
15:40Perfect.
15:41Shall we?
15:42Yeah.
15:43Bye.
15:44Bye.
15:45Bye.
15:48Bye.
15:48Bye.
15:49That was embarrassing, walking into Kevin's office like that.
15:53Lots changed in a short amount of time.
15:56You'll get used to it.
15:57Yeah.
15:58What you need is some time off.
16:00I have to go to D.C. tomorrow.
16:02Why don't you come with me?
16:04Oh, I have a ton of things to do around here.
16:06It'll be fun.
16:08Bryce and Audrey Whitaker won.
16:12That was just such short notice.
16:14Next time.
16:16Bye.
16:18Bye.
16:18Hey, Dr. Burton.
16:21This is my friend, Leo.
16:23Hey, Leo.
16:24I was wondering if Leo could, like, you know, join us.
16:36Probably the idea.
16:38Not exactly.
16:40I was at the youth center telling Leo how I cut his...
16:48...
16:49...
16:52...
16:54...
16:54...
17:01...
