Joey meets Vanessa at the Country Club, where he discovers she’s meeting Heather for tennis later. However, he points out that his sister doesn’t play. But first, they interrupt a tense conversation between Andre and Dani about her attentiveness toward Bill. When Ted calls, Andre takes the chance to leave the club altogether. Dani unconvincingly assures Vanessa and Joey that things couldn’t be better between them.
When Joey leaves the women to discuss Dani’s extreme reaction to Bill nearly dying, Vanessa urges her friend to admit that she still loves him. But she loves Andre too, Dani tearfully points out, and he’s the man she wants to be with. Vanessa wonders why it sounds as though she’s trying to convince herself. Dani knows she has to put her current husband first and get her ex out of her system.
Only Hayley Can Kill Bill
Hayley steps in when, at Bill’s request, Kat sneaks a baby back rib sandwich into his hospital room. Kat leaves after trading barbs with Hayley, who pushes the unhealthy sandwich back at her. As Hayley emphasizes how worried she is about Bill, he tells her to stop the doting wife act. There’s no audience anymore. Faced with Hayley’s mock offense, Bill apologizes. He’s simply unhappy about being back in the hospital. Plus, he’s hangry.
Joey stops by as Bill falls for another of Hayley’s woe-is-me-the-Duprees-hate-me performances. Alone with the patient, Joey suggests that if Garland Memorial can’t determine what’s wrong with him, Bill should find someone who can. Joey later runs into Hayley in the lobby, where he ominously warns that he’s watching.

Untrustworthy
