This missing scene is from ‘Newlywed Games’… when Jack leaves Betty and Sue in the living room discussing swatches while he lets Levi out to go help the team as they installed the spyware on Joseph’s computer.

“So… Sue…” Betty smiled at her. “Tell me about your wedding.” She said. “We talked about how you met, but I can just imagine that your wedding was probably lovely.” She said, motioning to the picture.
Sue smiled indulgently before glancing at the picture. “Oh it was nice… we married at my church of course.” She explained, delving deep into her imagination to describe the decorations at the wedding.
Her non existent wedding.
Betty listened in quiet rapture… if she had her way, she would love to decorate for weddings, and was always interested in finding out about how other weddings looked. “And what about your reception?” she wanted to know.
“Well… we were actually really unique with that because neither of us wanted the fuss or bother of a cake… so we arranged for a local chocolatier to come in and be on hand as people helped themselves to our chocolate fountain.” Sue smiled. “Because who needs an actual cake when there’s a chocolate fountain?” She laughed.
Betty chuckled. “I just adore chocolate fountains.” She admitted. “They’re so much fun but so messy.” She made a face.
Sue nodded. “I understand completely… Which is why Jack and I had these two sweet little caramel apples done up for us. They were dipped in chocolate and looked just adorable as a little tuxedo and wedding dress.” She explained.
“Oh, I’ve seen those at the store.” Betty smiled. “They are really cute.”
Sue couldn’t have agreed more. She signed something. “Oh… sorry…” She felt her cheeks flush as she realized she’d forgotten to interpret what she signed. “He sometimes calls me the apple of his eye you know, from that Stevie Wonder song? You are the sunshine of my life…? One of the lines of the chorus is ‘you are the apple of my eye.’” She said, re-signing the phrase. “It just looks prettier when signed.” She joked.
“I think it’s wonderful.” Betty said. “Does Jack sign often?” She asked curiously.
“He signs enough.” She looked up and met his eyes as he paused in the doorway out of Betty’s view and signed something frantically to her about the team. She nodded slightly while Betty’s head was down before continuing her tale. “It was an appropriate solution for us… as well as a confirmation of how we truly feel about each other.” She directed Betty’s attention back to the fabric swatches.
“What do you think about this one?”
