- Quotes
Joe Mannix: [Kathy tells him about a dream she had in which he died] I was dead? And that's why you're here?
Kathy Warren: Yes. I'm afraid it might actually happen.
Joe Mannix: Because of your dream?
Kathy Warren: I don't know how to explain my dreams to you, Mr. Mannix... except that they do come true. I saw you killed, on a black horse like Major.
Joe Mannix: Major?
Kathy Warren: Yes, at the riding club. One of the stable hands rides him a lot. I saw you there. There was blood on your hand from... from where'd you fallen.
[Joe shows her his hands to reveal that there is no blood on them]
Kathy Warren: Oh, I know how tempting it must be for you to laugh at me, Mr. Mannix.
Joe Mannix: There is one thing, Miss Warren. Considering we've never met before, I was wondering how I happened to be in your dream in the first place?
Kathy Warren: Oh, I... I don't know.
[Peggy knocks on Joe's office door]
Joe Mannix: Yeah, Peggy?
Peggy Fair: Excuse me. Correspondence from New York. You wanted it the minute you came in. Morning paper. And the press is still hounding us for information.
Joe Mannix: Yeah, well, it can wait. Thanks, Peggy.
Kathy Warren: [looks at the newspaper Peggy brought in] Maybe here!
Joe Mannix: What?
Kathy Warren: Maybe this is how you got into my dream. I read about you in last night's paper.
Joe Mannix: Oh.
Kathy Warren: It's quite a novelty these days. A man risking his life to do something positive for someone else. It's possible I... I just felt that you were something worth saving. I know that only makes it seem more ridiculous to you.
Joe Mannix: Well, I can certainly see that *you* believe in your dream?
Kathy Warren: Oh, it's not a gift, you know. It's not an easy way to pick winners in horse races or lotteries. I can only imagine things when something important is involved, like... pain, sorrow, or death.
Joe Mannix: Go on.
Kathy Warren: Could you do me a favor?
Joe Mannix: If I can.
Kathy Warren: I... I haven't told you the rest of the dream, and I'm not going to now, 'cause you really wouldn't be able to keep a straight face. On this particular day, be careful of lightning.
Joe Mannix: Lightning?
Kathy Warren: Yes. On a street that begins with the letter "W".
Joe Mannix: "W"?
[the intercom on his desk buzzes]
Joe Mannix: Excuse me.
[talks into the intercom]
Joe Mannix: Yeah, Peggy?
Peggy Fair: Lieutenant Malcolm on the line. He says it's important.
Joe Mannix: Yeah, well, uh, in just a second.
Kathy Warren: You really aren't laughing at me, are you?
Joe Mannix: For going out of your way to try and help a total stranger? No, I'm not laughing at you.
Kathy Warren: Well, you made this a lot easier than I expected it to be. I'll remember that when we meet again.
Joe Mannix: Oh? Are we going to meet again?
Kathy Warren: Yes, about 2:00. You see, we're in this together.
Joe Mannix: Huh.
Kathy Warren: Good-bye, Mr. Mannix.
Joe Mannix: Good-bye, Miss Warren.
So you see Joe having an accident on a horse and he's pronounced dead. Turns out it's a vision that a young lady named Kathy is having. Guess this is gonna go either way. Some of the viewers will think Kathy's nuts for tracking this guy down that she doesn't know in order to warn him about some danger he's in. A lot of people will chalk it down to just being a good person. I'll go with calling Kathy a good person and leaving it at that.
Anyway, Kathy goes to Mannix and tells him about her vision. I don't think Mannix takes it seriously at first either. She tells about blood being on his hands and he shows his clean hands off to Kathy. Honey, she didn't say you had blood on your hands NOW.
I like how Kathy's acting in these parts. She seems bashful about her skill with her visions. And overall she seemed bashful practically the whole time. She's not nuts but she just gives off these vibes of "You'll probably think I'm out of my mind but I want to help you and I'm just passing along what I see." The one scene I was mentioning at the beginning of the review is where Kathy does a 180 and she looks like she's absolutely having a nervous breakdown in front of Joe. I honestly prefer mentally deleting that scene because it just doesn't gel with the idea of a sane, bashful girl just trying to help somebody out. Joe honestly looked like he wanted to try and edge out of the room when that was going down. But he's a gentleman and stayed.
Anyway, Kathy's vision are pretty close and Joe finally sees that Joe and Kathy are both together in Kathy's visions. And Joe also sees that Kathy's the true victim of these visions instead of Kathy thinking Joe's the victim.
The ending kinda doesn't come as a surprise. Turns out the man Kathy's mom is about to marry is the one doing all this stuff to try and cover his butt. I forgot to mention Kathy's rich and she's about to come into her inheritance. But there's no inheritance to speak up anymore because this guy flat out mismanaged it for her.
This episode is entertaining but I don't blame viewers if they fast forward or mute Kathy's breakdown in that one scene...And guys, I stick with what I've said on other reviews. It's not the actress. The actress did a great job for the rest of the episode but she's just following what the script said to do in that breakdown scene. I sincerely doubt anybody could've done that scene and it not be cringeworthy.
