Jack Griffith.

We were more than colleagues.

We were married.

You know Warren set up this whole meeting

to deliver my money.

What you don't know

is that he also promised to deliver

the source of the leak.

Is it possible to have the same
feelings for two men at once?

Of course it is! But, ultimately,

you need to make a choice.

Jack?

You're going to have to
talk to Jack eventually.

Not tonight.

Fair enough.

- You want to talk to me about it?
- No

You want me to leave?

- No!
- Do you want a hug?

Yes.

Come here.

It's okay.

Are you sorry we started
to paint the living room?

Yes! Yes.

I love you.

I love you, too.

- Okay, so... that's the Big Dipper, right?
- Right.

And that's the extent of
my knowledge of astronomy.

Oh, no, wait. One more.

That's the North Star, right?

Ooh. Venus.

But it's so bright.

Well, after the sun and the moon,

Venus is one of the
brightest things in our sky.

The Mayans actually based
their entire calendar on it.

And to the Greeks, she
was the goddess of love.

And beauty.

How do you know all this star stuff?

Did a lot of stargazing in Iraq.

You think the stars are bright here,

you should see them in the Syrian Desert.

You know, this is, uh,

well, I don't know what
it is, but it's good.

Just the two of us.

Together.

It's the happiest I've been in a long time.

Freeze! FBI!

Easy! Easy! Easy!

Good morning, Luke.

I just got here.

- Excuse me?
- Justine invited me for breakfast,

and I've only been here
for about 20 minutes.

Okay.

I just didn't want you to
think that I spent the night.

Mom, what have you done to the living room?

When I came in last night, I was almost
knocked over by the smell of paint.

Oh. I had a... sudden
burst of creative energy.

I thought I heard Jack. Is he here?

No.

So, um, what are your plans today?

Um, I'm going to register
for classes for the fall

- and look for a job.
- A job?

I know you said you'd pay
for school, but I think

it's time I start paying
for everything else.

Good for you.

But I do think

that you guys should go out
and do something fun today.

It's a beautiful day.

Mom, Are you trying to get rid of us?

No! It's a beautiful day.

She's right. Why don't I take
you out for a real breakfast?

A knife-and-fork breakfast?

Yeah. Why not?

Why not? Thanks, Mom.

Just wanted to let you know Eric is safe.

- Was he hurt?
- They roughed him up a little.

More shaken than hurt.

Do you want to talk to him?

Uh, yes.

Hey, Dad.

Eric.

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry. I should've listened to you.

To both of you.

No. All that matters is that you're okay.

- Do you want me to come there?
- No.

I gotta finish talking to the FBI, and
then Rebecca's going to take me home.

Okay. I love you.

I love you, too, Dad.

You sneaking up on me?

Nope. Just waiting for you to finish.

Well, I'm finished.

I called you last night.

I was at Olivia's.

Look, this whole thing
about Alex and the rodeo...

I guess I'm just not feeling very good

about where things are right now.

Do you really think I have
eyes for any other woman?

I saw how she looked at you.

Did you see the way I looked at her?

There's nothing going
on between me and Alex.

You two have this bond that... that...

We have this in common.

Ranching, horses.

She's an employee. That's
all she's ever going to be.

If she wants more?

I don't want more!

What can I say to you, to convince you

that you're the only
woman I want in my life?

I don't think there's

anything either one of
us can say right now.

We may have gotten to a place
where words aren't gonna help.

Which is okay with me...

not really into talking.

Okay.

Thanks for being so honest.

Grace!

What are you doing down there?

It's not how I planned it.

Cliff.

It's been in my family a long time.

I'd like you to be in my
family a long time, too.

It's you.

It's always been you.

Will always be you.

I love you.

So, Grace, will you marry me?

Do you need some help?

Nah, I...

But if you keep talking to me,

I'll gladly flatten my tire again.

Cute.

Thank you. My mom thinks I am.

I didn't mean... Oh...

- Never mind.
- I'm new in town.

- I know.
- How?

Well, the socks gave you away.

Is there anything else I need to know

to pass as a native?

Well, you could think
about ditching the socks,

but... either way, welcome to Cedar Cove.

- There ya go.
- Thank you!

Uh, Moon, wait. Um...

As you know,

we had some crazy weather last year

and it really hurt the local fishermen.

Yeah. Yeah, weather will do that to you.

Unless, of course, you
choose to work inside,

which is one of the many reasons

why I never made the salty sea my mistress.

Good point!

So, what do you think
about a huge fundraiser

for them down at the beach?

Ah, that sounds like a
good cause. I'm there.

- How about sponsoring it?
- Sure, I'll donate some side dishes

- or something.
- Maybe a little more than that?

Just, uh... how much more?

A lot more.

All more, all of it.

Food, decorations, servers.

Whoa! Whoa, Peggy.

It's for the fishermen, Moon, who need us,

and we need them.

That's how small communities work.

Small communities work by
bankrupting my business?

You and I both know you can afford it.

That is something

that I would rather the
whole world didn't know.

- Why?
- So people won't come by

- asking me to fund fundraisers.
- Oh!

You said it yourself. It's a good cause.

Yeah, that was before I was
paying for the whole thing.

Okay, look.

Let's say I throw this, ah,
benefit for the fishermen.

Who's going to throw
the benefit for me, huh?

Just think about it, okay?

Please?

Hey, stranger.

Mm.

I haven't seen you around here in a while.

Yeah. I've been busy.

Started to get the feeling
you were avoiding meetings...

and me.

No, no, not at all.

It's just, um, I've got a lot of work.

You know, Seattle...

Are you sure that's all it is?

I'm your sponsor, Jack. You
can talk to me, you know?

Yeah.

You're sure that there isn't
something you need to tell me?

No. No. Nothing.

Those new brushes are great.

Just look at his coat.

What do you say we do both of us a favor

and clear the air?

I'm flattered, but there can't be
anything between us. You know I love Grace.

Yes, I do.

So, I'll finish out the week and move on.

Whoa, no need to quit.

You are so sweet.

This is why... I like you so much.

You're the best ranch hand
I've had in years and...

I called a friend, a great guy.

Cal Pattenson.

He's in between jobs, he'd be perfect.

- You don't have to do this.
- I do.

For me.

I think it'll be good for me

to get away from the cowboys for a while.

Tch-tch.

Hey!

Hi!

Oh! Thanks.

So...

I'm engaged.

Cliff asked you to marry him?

Yes! He did.

- Where's the ring?
- Oh. Here.

Oh, Grace. It's beautiful.

I know.

It's been a while since
I've been engaged, but I'm

pretty sure that goes on your finger.

Not yet.

So you're not engaged?

Well, I will be, when I'm ready.

You're not ready?

And Cliff's okay with this?

Cliff said, as far as he's concerned,

he's engaged,

and when he sees this ring on my finger,

he will know that I am ready
and we will set the date

and you will wear an ugly dress

and stand up there beside
me while I get married...

again.

Oh, wow!

- This is big!
- I know.

Is the pause in accepting because of Alex?

And me.

Have you ever really wanted something

and then, as soon as you get it,

you're... you're just not so sure?

You're not sure you want Cliff?

Oh, no. I do want him.

I love him.

It's just this whole marriage thing.

I mean, do I really want
to get married again?

Do I really need to get married again?

Then why'd you accept the ring?

Because I think, for Cliff,
this'll be a deal-breaker.

We don't get married,
we don't move forward,

I think we might just come to a full stop.

You can't marry someone just
because you don't want to lose them.

I know.

If you'd just sign your statement

right there, please.

You owe your friend.

If she hadn't been harassing my office 24/7

to look into what was going
on with your disappearance...

she probably saved your life.

Relax! Okay?

Listen. Your investment is totally sound.

In fact, I'm going to be heading
back to Cedar Cove real soon,

and when I do, I'm gonna
straighten this whole thing out,

and it'll be back to business as usual.

You have my word on it.

Your Honor,

we had a non-refundable
per-plate charge.

There was entertainment, a goodie bag.

They RSVP'd "yes" and then did not show,

which meant I was out
of pocket for the money

to cover for their rude behavior.

We didn't write it down.
We forgot. We're human.

This lawsuit's over a birthday party?

A child's birthday party?

Our party planner is known
for her theme parties.

- Party planner?
- It was quite the coup to land her.

We had a family emergency.

You just said you forgot.

Which is it?

- Do I have to tell you?
- Seeing as I am the judge

and this is my court... yes.

Playoff tickets.

I got playoff tickets.

Did either of you try to talk this out

- before you came in here?
- Mm-mm. No.

- No.
- When neighbors

have a non-criminal
problem with their children,

they talk about it like adults.

Preferably over a nice dinner...

maybe a barbecue.

Which I hereby sentence you
to have within the next week.

And I sentence you to bring dessert.

- But, Your Honor...
- Case dismissed.

And I want to see pictures of that dinner.

The hat and sunglasses

just make you look even more suspicious.

Hey!

The boy genius.

You know, Eric, I have to
admit, I underestimated you.

I did. I mean, look. You outsmarted Dick,

you outsmarted the Feds.

I was wrong.

You do have more than
a room temperature I.Q.

- We need to talk.
- No, we don't.

You're fired, and there's no
severance, by the way. So bye-bye.

- You're unbelievable.
- Yes. I am.

That wasn't a compliment.

Okay. Fine.

Let's talk. You're obviously upset.

Yes, I am upset because
you almost got me killed.

"Almost" doesn't count.

And for your information, I wasn't
the one who almost tried to kill you.

That was Dick. Remember?

Look, kid, they say that when
you sit down at a poker table,

if you can't pick out who the patsy is

in the first 10 minutes, you're the patsy.

You see, that's you, Eric.

You're the patsy.

Oh. And first rule of business...

trust no one.

I don't.

Daddy's home.

I wish you would've let
me pay for breakfast.

I'm just not comfortable with the
idea of taking your mother's money.

What?

Well, you haven't had a job in a while.

Well, I mean, I'm not...
I'm not judging you.

- I think you are.
- No, I'm not. Really.

It's just that you're comfortable with

the idea of getting help from your parents,

and... well, I'm not.

I am so happy to be back in Cedar Cove.

I mean, the health clinic has a doctor, but

they also need a physician's assistant.

And my hair is on fire.

Mm-hmm.

- What?
- Dad, where are you?

Because you're not here.

You okay?

I-I couldn't be better.

Ah, Linnette...

I'm fine.

So...

excited about the new job?

Little scared.

It's a lot of responsibility.

I mean, I'm not technically a doctor,

but I can write prescriptions

- and I can perform a lot of procedures.
- Well, congratulations, Dr. McAfee.

In a couple of years,
if I go back to school.

Right now, I'm happy to be "P.A." McAfee.

I got it.

She's already got a job.

Oh, don't let me chase you out.

Oh, no, no. I have to go.

One of the roommates dropped out
of the house that we're renting,

so I'm gonna go meet a
couple potential replacements.

Ahh. You already got a place?

The house at Palmer and Smith.

Ooh. That's a big house.

- Yeah.
- Expensive.

That's why we need another roommate.

Well, don't look at me.
Peggy wouldn't like it.

Bye, Dad.

Physician's assistant...

I remember when she was
selling Girl Scout cookies.

Roy, what's wrong?

Nothing. Everything's fine, why do you ask?

Mm. I've known you a very long time.

- All's good.
- Yeah?

Corrie's waiting for me at home. Um...

I should go.

You shouldn't have come.

It's too soon.

I know that you're angry.

I'm not angry.

I'm just really, really disappointed.

Well... no.

Maybe I'm still angry.

The longer that we don't talk, I just...

I can't get through this emotional
hurricane that you put me in

faster

just because you want to feel comfortable.

All right, look. I, uh...

I've been under a lot of pressure.

Okay? And I just, um...

Okay. No excuses.

I just did it.

I thought that I could handle it.

I thought that I was handling it.

And then you walked in the door,

and I saw the look on your face and, uh...

I knew that I was lying to myself.

And me.

Yes.

I can appreciate

that you want things to get back to normal,

but, um...

what I thought was our "normal"

was a lie.

Don't let one mistake ruin what we have.

I'm at work.

This is not the place.

Can I call you later?

No.

Just give me some space.

I love you.

I know.

And I love you.

I just...

don't forgive you.

Not yet.

So sorry to keep you waiting.

What did you need to talk about?

I'm pregnant.

Congratulations.

- Thanks.
- Does Ian know?

Now he does.

Before he shipped out?

I tried to contact him,
but I couldn't get through.

I think he was avoiding me.

Luke e-mailed him

and sent this back to me.

Well, this looks all right.

He'll be there for you and the baby.

Keep reading.

He still wants a divorce.

Oh, Cecilia.

Please, Olivia, you've got to help me.

I'm not a marriage counselor.

You saved us the last time.

No, honey. That was you.
You and Ian did that.

But we couldn't have done it
without you showing us the way.

I need you.

We all do...

me, Ian, and my baby.

- Hello, Grace.
- Hey, Bob!

I brought coffee and a muffin.

Ahh.

I know that tone.

You need a favor,

but the muffin is a very nice touch.

Moon? I need an answer.

The Town Council's waiting,

and there are so many plans to be made.

I used to have this pretty
little dog named Penny,

and every time she
wanted something from me,

she gave me a look just like that one.

- Did it work?
- Every single time.

Thank you! Thank you!

But...

we keep it basic.

Nothing like lobsters
or anything like that.

Lobsters?

Moon! That's terrific!

This is the Pacific Northwest.
We don't have lobsters.

But I will find you lobsters.

What a great idea!

We can raise ticket prices, and it's
a great tie-in with the fishermen.

- Not with our fishermen.
- Everyone loves lobster.

It'll be so special.

Thank you, Moon!

I'm gonna send out an email blast.

Moon, I promise.

I will get every person
in town to this event.

You want me to be the Town Manager?

- Cedar Cove needs you.
- Me?

Yes, that's why I'm here.

We... we already have
a Town Manager. Norman.

Retiring.

So, as the head of the Town Council,

I'm offering you the job.

Now, it doesn't come with any pay,

but the satisfaction

of serving your community.

I don't know anything about politics.

Ah, it's not a political position.

I've never been to a Town Council meeting.

- They're boring!
- I didn't vote at last year's election.

Well, you should vote.
It's your civic duty.

That doesn't matter.

You're the most honest
person I know, Grace.

This library runs like
a well-oiled machine.

Because of you.

Everyone in town loves and respects you,

and you're a born leader!

I could say the same thing about you.

That's why I'm the head
of the Town Council.

But this position's all about you.

- Oh...
- It's your turn.

It's your year. It's the year of Grace!

"The year of Grace"?

- Yes, it is.
- Oh. Huh.

Are you gonna eat that?

Go on.

Hmm.

- Hi there.
- Hey.

You looking for a place to live?

- Maybe.
- Well...

There's my number.

It's a really great place.

Thanks.

I do depend on my parents
too much financially.

I need to be on my own.

I'm going to move out.

- How will you afford it?
- I'll get a job,

a real job that I can
do while I go to school.

You don't need to turn
away help from your parents

just because of what I said.

I want to do this.

Thanks for helping me see that.

- What?
- I'm going to have to tell my mother.

Yeah, she's probably going
to notice you're not there.

Judge Lockhart. Did you hear?

- Hear what?
- Anthony took a leave of absence.

Yes. I know. He called me.

His father has to have
surgery in Philadelphia.

- There's a new D.A.
- Paul Watson.

- What do you know?
- I know

that if you want to know
something about the new D.A.,

you need to ask him.

- Have you met him?
- No.

I can't lose my job.

I think you're overreacting.

New D.A.s like to clean house,

and what with my past...
lying on my resume...

maybe he won't be as
lenient as the last one.

Maybe you can put in a good word for me?

I think you'll do just fine,

if you stop obstructing justice.

- What do you mean?
- You're delaying that judge.

But that's not obstr...

Oh, right, a joke.

Oh! I'm sorry!

I didn't splash you, did I?

No. No damage.

Okay.

Wait. I... I know you.

So much for being anonymous.

We met at Cliff's.

That's right. I was out there with Olivia.

The judge. Your girlfriend.

Mm. You look... different, somehow.

I decided to cut my hair.

Changing up some things in my life.

I see. I haven't seen you here, have I?

No.

So...

horses drove you to drink?

- Wall Street.
- Ah.

- Yeah.
- And the horses?

I grew up on a horse farm.

I wasn't prepared for the pressure

- of the city and the job.
- Ah.

I realized I'm a lot more comfortable

on a horse farm than a subway.

Right.

And there were a couple
of bad choices with men.

Well, we all have those.

I mean, you know, me with women,

but, uh, not Olivia, but, uh...

How did you end up here?
You don't seem like a native.

That's a long story. Ah...

I've got a lot of time
on my hands at the moment,

and no job.

You want to grab a coffee?

I promise not to spill it on you, and, um,

my treat.

- Sure.
- Yeah?

- Yeah.
- Let's go.

Eric?

Yeah?

What happened? Are you okay?

Oh, this? Ah, that's a long story.

Where's Adele?

She's with my aunt.

I got your text about
moving back in with your dad.

And then I saw you on the news.

What's going on, Shelly?

Well, the accounting firm
that I've been working for,

they've just... they've
offered me a new job,

and it's a lot more money,

401K,

a relocation fee.

- Relocation?
- It's in Oklahoma.

Oklahoma?

And I'm gonna need your permission
to take Adele out of state.

It's just a couple papers

- that you're gonna need to sign...
- Whoa! What're you saying here?

You... You just expect
me to give up my daughter?

I don't want to make trouble.

How is this not trouble?

I am taking Adele with me,
and if I have to go to court,

my lawyer is going to use
everything that we've got

to get me full custody.

- What?
- Look, Eric.

According to the news,

you were working for a criminal,

you were the target of
an FBI investigation,

and now you're unemployed

and living back with your
dad, who's drinking again.

I ran into him at the ferry, a while back.

- He's sober.
- He's drinking again.

And my lawyer will tell the court

that your life in Cedar Cove is unstable,

and that having Adele around someone

with a drinking problem...

I really don't want to hurt you.

No, you just want to take my child away.

You know, if you're a cop, pal,
you'd better have yourself a warrant.

You know, forget about the warrant.
Get yourself out of my chair.

I'm not a cop, but I'm
guessing right about now,

you're wishing I were.

And if I'm not mistaken, it's my chair,

just like it's my building.

Go home.

I got news for you... until
this mess with Saget Development

is cleaned up, Cedar Cove is my home.

There is no mess, all right?

- And all the charges were dropped.
- Because I got them dropped.

And when these things hit the front page,

there is always a mess, no
matter what the end result.

It's bad for the company,

and as its largest
investor, I don't like it.

Well, you'll be happy to know
they can't come after me again.

- But I can.
- Buck, look... I...

You made the Feds look
bad. They don't like that.

Trust me. They'll be back.

Look, Dad, seriously.

- Go.
- You know, you haven't changed.

Not since you were six

and I caught you stealing the
loose change off my bureau.

You can't be trusted. You never could.

Therefore, as of today,

I am exercising my privilege
as majority stockholder

- and taking over the company.
- That's never gonna happen.

Ever.

I know you.

Better than anyone else.

I know what makes you tick,
I know what buttons to push,

and most importantly...

I know what scares you.

You go to war with me, you're gonna lose.

And we both know, family or not,

I don't take prisoners...

Junior.

Where were you on Tuesday?

Cedar Cove.

You missed Barry's farewell luncheon.

- Do you read your e-mails?
- Jeri, I gotta go.

I would strongly suggest you
don't miss the welcome dinner

for the new incoming editor.

You don't want to get
off on the wrong foot.

All right, send the info

and I'll be there.

Corrie can't know we talked.

Keeping people's information confidential

is something I'm pretty good at.

I mean, what's upsetting
me, it concerns Corrie,

but she can't know anything about it.

Mm-hm.

It's regarding something we
did before we were married.

Something she did.

Moon! You shouldn't have left
the council meeting early.

Government buildings make me itchy.

Oh! Why?

You never heard of the '60s?

Well, they approved everything.

- They love it.
- Swell.

But there's just one little, tiny hiccup.

Seems the space at the beach
isn't available that day,

so they want us to do
it on the 12th instead.

- The 12th? Three days from now?
- Mm. I know.

Peggy, this is a huge
hiccup. It gives me no time.

Oh, well, just hire someone.

And look!

Voila! And these will
be all over the county.

- And notice... "Sponsored by Moon's Cafe."
- That's great.

So... how's our menu coming?

Barbecued ribs, chicken,
coleslaw, potato salad.

I told people lobster!

You know, it was Henry
David Thoreau who said,

"Our life is frittered away by detail.

Simplify, simplify."

Well, you know, Peggy, I'm
gonna take the man's advice...

- ...And simplify my life.
- How?

Well, I think maybe I'll start with, uh...

no lobster.

go from there.

Hey.

You okay?

Get everything moved back all right?

Shelly's taking Adele to Oklahoma.

- She can't do that.
- She can.

Thanks to you.

- Me?
- You're drinking again?

She said she caught you
a while back on the ferry.

Is it true?

What, Dad? Tell me it's not true.

I slipped.

But it's over now.

She's got some lawyer who's gonna use
your slip-up to take my baby away from me.

Well, I appreciate anything
you can do, Vice Admiral.

Thank you.

Vice Admiral Nielsen at the base.

You enlisting?

No, but after today, that's not a bad idea.

I was calling about Ian.

Cecilia's pregnant and Ian wants a divorce.

No...

Bob wants me to be the new Town Manager.

Now, that's a good idea!

- You think?
- Yeah!

I didn't even ask him, though,
what a Town Manager does.

Town Manager carries out the
decisions made by the Town Council,

which means you'll be
involved in the budget

and supervising most departments.

Why do you always know everything?

Sorry.

He says it's my year.
It's the year of Grace.

I think I agree.

Cecilia knows that you cannot

- save her marriage, right?
- Yeah.

And you know you can't
save her marriage, right?

Of course.

What?

Well, there are some
things that can be saved.

Like Jack.

Not every relationship is a sinking ship.

I'm just trying to help Cecilia,

end of story.

- You want a hug?
- Yeah.

Aww.

Want a lift home?

I rode my bike.

- Fresh air will do you good.
- Yeah.

Jack.

Don't punish Eric because of my mistake.

I'm not drinking.

Shelly, he's a good dad.

This job in Oklahoma

will let me take care of Adele

in a way that will make her life better.

It's the best thing for her.

And what about Eric?

- This isn't about Eric.
- Yes, it is.

He's her father.

Then he should do what's best

and let me take her with me.

Nice and private.

Aww, and you've got my
drink waiting for me.

You think a good scotch
is gonna soften me up?

Obviously, we got off on the wrong foot.

Since birth.

I would like to try to
work things out, Dad.

You want me to leave.

No, I want you to let me
do what I do best, Dad,

- and that is run this business. No.
- You mean my business.

I am still the president of this company.

Yeah. For now.

For now.

You want to move out?

My living with you was only
supposed to be temporary.

- Okay.
- Okay?

Well, you're a grown woman.

You deserve to have your own place.

I can't wait to see it.

- Hey.
- Hey.

- How are you?
- Good. How are you?

- Here about the ad.
- Are you a mechanic?

The engine on this boat's
older than both of us.

Yeah, my father had one just like this.

Broke down all the time.

So I got a lot of experience.

All right, well, come
aboard and we'll talk.

- Shelly called.
- Oh.

Thanks, Dad. For trying.

She's not gonna budge,
so you're gonna have to.

What?

You know, Eric, when
I look back at my life,

it feels like a series of bad choices

linked together with regrets.

There was a time

when I put everything ahead of family.

It's too late for me.

It's not, for you.

What are you talking about?

Adele.

You need to put her first.

Even if that means giving
up on certain things.

In the long run, it's worth it.

You gotta trust me on this one.

I love you, and I want you to be happy.

And I want you to be

the great father that I know you can be.

- Grace!
- Hey, Norman.

- What're you doing?
- Just a little nesting.

In my office?

Ahh! It's my office.
I'm the new Town Manager.

Since when?

Well, since you retired.

Who told you I retired?

Good morning, everyone.

The first case on today's docket is...

Saget versus Saget?

Well...

this day just got more interesting.

That's gonna look good. Yeah.

That's gonna be great.

Hey! Surprise.

What are you up to now?

I'm auditioning these guys!

I thought it'd be really great
if we had a band at our event.

Peggy, I can't afford lobsters,

and I can't afford a band.

They said they'll do it for free!

- That's 'cause they're terrible.
- How do you know?

They played here about a year ago.

That guy on guitar, he's tone-deaf,

and the lead singer... hah!

He literally drives
people away with his voice.

Seriously, I've seen
it... right out the door.

- Oh.
- You have got to settle down!

And you have got to get excited!

No! What I've got to do
is put the brakes on...

on you and this whole event.

Fine!

I'm just gonna go do this on my own!

Oh... Come on, Peggy!

This isn't personal.

- You're my father.
- Look, kid.

Where I choose to play
golf, that's personal.

This is just business.

I've been too easy on you.

Oh, yeah. I gotta tell you, Dad.

- Being your son's been real easy.
- You are so entitled.

- And who entitled me?
- That's your mother's fault.

Which one?

What, you think I should
give you special privileges

- just because you're my son?
- Yes!

That's not how business works.

That's how family business works!

- I'm trying to protect my investment.
- Of course you are!

Come on, let's be honest with each other.

I mean, I've gotten into trouble
in the past tons of times,

and you never even picked up the phone.

- This time is different.
- No. It's not different. You're a player.

And a player needs a game,

and unfortunately, golf
just doesn't cut it.

And this whole semi-retirement
thing you got going on,

it's... it's hard, I get it,

you're having a hard time with it, fine.

But do me a favor. Go
create a merger or something.

Get involved. I got a better
idea. Why don't you pick up tennis?

Do something else.

Stay out of my business.

And my life.

You know what?

- What?
- You're right.

I'm glad you finally admitted

that I was right about something.

While I'm here,

I am gonna take up tennis.

My cardiologist says I have
the lungs of a 25-year-old.

You wanna go a few rounds?

Isn't that what we just did?

No.

When I really play you...

you'll know it... son.

There's nothing more to talk about.

I'll sign the papers.

But I'm coming with you.

It's not for us, it's for Adele.

I mean, look at me, Shelly.

What have I got holding me here?

I got no job, no you, and no Adele.

What about your father?

He wants me to go.

I want to go.

I want to be the father I never had.

Will you work with me
once we both get settled?

I want Adele to have her father.

That's me.

There ya are. Enjoy.

Will Jeffers.

Staying at my Mom's for the summer.

Like the bad penny.

What...

Where does that saying come from?

Well, a long time ago,

when a penny was actually worth something,

people would get a counterfeit

and then immediately try to
palm it off on someone else, huh,

but somehow, it always
seemed to boomerang back.

Just like you.

An unwanted item

who keeps showing up again

and again.

Coffee?

Yes, please.

What are we doing here?

I need to drop off some paperwork

to my new boss.

You're working here?

Yeah, for a local fisherman.

Which local fisherman?

- Derek.
- Justine?

Wait, this isn't...

What's going on?

No way. No, forget it, man!

No job, no nothing. Get away from my boat.

Both of you.

Derek is Seth's best friend.

Where's everybody else?

Where's this new boss of mine?

You're looking at him.

Or her.

- What?
- The outgoing editor promoted me.

I am your new boss.

Cheers.

When I signed on as Town Manager,

I assumed it was because we
did not have a Town Manager,

and I assumed that because that's what you

- told me.
- Hey.

So, thank you so much for wasting my time,

and you can tell Norman
he can keep my stapler.

I left out a detail.

You left out Norman!

'Cause Norman won't go.

So then just let him stay.

He's a friend,

a-and it pains me to say this,

but he is a terrible Town Manager.

So you want me to stage a coup

for a job that I got talked into taking?

Not a coup! But maybe you can
just get him to see that he's...

Terrible? Bob, come on,
he can't be that bad.

He ordered a dozen
reindeer and a Santa outfit

for the Fourth of July Parade.

That explains a lot about that parade.

We'll, get him to leave,

but... but make it seem
like it was his idea.

Anything else?

Well, don't tell him we talked,

because he's a... he's a proud man...

You were kidding about the
"anything else.," Right?

I was. I did not sign up for this.

Maybe you didn't sign up...

but you did volunteer.

Bob, I most certainly did not!

Hey. That Saget father
and son are a trip, huh?

Hate to spend Thanksgiving at their house.

Before I call my bailiff and have
you escorted out, do you want to

- tell me what you are doing here?
- Apologies.

We haven't been properly introduced,

and I have to say...

your file picture doesn't do you justice.

Ah, I'm Paul.

Paul Watson. I'm Anthony's replacement.

I'm the new D.A. and, yes,

I should have told you
who I was at the seawall.

Nice to formally meet you...

Judge Lockhart.

You're the new senior editor?

How did that happen?

I'm talented.

The outgoing editor had it in his contract

that he could name his successor,

and, uh, he named me.

You need a drink.

Uh, we're good with these, thanks,

and we'll have two vodkas, straight up.

- Water.
- With a water back.

Just water.

You're not drinking?

You're on the wagon? Again?

Don't act so surprised.

Something happen to cause
this sudden change of heart?

Yeah, me wanting to be sober.

Just because you have a few beers,

or a drink here and there,
does not make you an alcoholic.

It does if you're an alcoholic.

- You're not.
- Next subject.

Thanks.

Look, uh...

maybe you want to rethink
this job in Seattle.

Why? Because I'm not drinking?

I lost two reporters when
the senior editor left,

which means I'm going to
need to lean on you more.

- Lean away.
- You're a better writer when you drink.

Whether I drink or I'm not drinking,

that's not up for comment or discussion,

do you understand?

How's the medical
malpractice article coming?

Almost done.

Then you can take over Clive's
"Seattle Life" column this week?

Absolutely.

Deadline is Friday.

You'll have it Thursday.

I'm your boss now.

You don't deliver, means I don't deliver.

I always deliver.

Okay.

Just be careful.

That stuff can kill ya.

You should have told me
who you were the other day.

Well, you didn't give me the chance.

Something tells me

that you like being the person in the room

with the most information.

Something tells me you don't like being

the person in the room
without the most information.

Look.

We're gonna have to work together.

- D.A. and Judge.
- Mm. Start over?

Okay.

Come in?

Hi. Uh, Judge Lockhart?

I'm Paul. Watson.

Ah, I'm gonna be taking
over as D.A. in this county

and I wanted to properly introduce myself.

Nice to meet you, Mr. Watson.

Oh. Paul.

Olivia.

By the way, I got rid of those socks.

Thanks for the tip.

Will?

Hi, Sis.

So, Mom just gave you
the keys to her house?

Mm-hmm. She's in Cape Cod for the summer

and she knew I needed a break.

From?

My divorce.

What about work?

Well, the divorce

gave me quite a bit of
cash and stock, so I decided

I'd take a leave from
the company this summer

and figure out what my
next chapter should be.

Shouldn't that chapter be in Georgia?

Cedar Cove is my home.

Not since high school.

Look.

I'm not going to cause any trouble.

I haven't even told Grace that I'm back.

She's with Cliff, I get that.

You're not even gonna notice that I'm here.

Oh!

Sorry!

I thought you already had a job

- out at Cliff's ranch.
- Oh, not anymore. I quit.

It was time.

So, ah, what kind of work you looking for?

No idea.

- What did you do before Cliff's?
- Wall Street. I was a trader.

How'd you end up here?

If you don't mind my asking.

Well... I grew up on a ranch,

then I went to Columbia,

Wharton, and then Wall Street,

and then back to the ranch,
and eventually Cedar Cove,

and now... unemployed.

Quite the interesting career trajectory.

It certainly is.

Well... everybody has an interesting story,

if you look hard enough.

Actually, no, I usually find

most other people's stories kind of boring.

Yours, however...

Buck Saget.

"Buck"?

Now you sound like a
ranch hand. Or a horse.

I am neither.

I currently run The Saget Company.

By the way...

you don't look for the job,
you make the job look for you.

And how do you do that?

It's all marketing.

Selling yourself.

You make yourself look so
good, they create a job for you.

And how do I do that?

Let me buy you another
coffee, and I'll explain.

Shouldn't I be the one buying you a coffee?

I like your style.

- May I?
- Please.

I don't need Moon.

Or his lobster. Or his help!

I should never have asked
him in the first place.

Corrie's coming over later to help.

You and Corrie can't cook all
of the food for the benefit.

You're right.

- Suit up!
- Me?

Get shucking.

I've read both your briefs

and I've rendered a decision in this case.

What's at stake with Saget versus Saget

is control of the company.

I've had time to study the
Articles of Incorporation,

and according to those
articles, Mr. Saget Sr.

holds controlling interest in the company,

although Mr. Saget Jr. is president

and in charge of the daily operations.

Your honor, I must respectfully disagree.

You must respectfully sit down

and don't interrupt me

or I'll have to hold you in contempt.

Cost you a lot of money.

The articles are not up for debate.

They're signed and notarized.

Mr. Saget... you seem
quite fidgety over there.

Would you like to address the court?

Yes, I do, Your Honor.

My father is a passive
investor in this company.

- My money's not so passive, though.
- Please.

He has never been involved in this company,

so I can't see how he can
effectively run this company.

Papers or not. This is my company.

You may sit.

I'm afraid, in a court of law,

the right papers make my job quite easy.

Mr. Saget Sr., as majority stockholder,

has every right to take
control of the company.

Court finds in favor with the plaintiff...

Warren Saget Sr.

Court adjourned.

- Hey.
- Hey.

Need some help?

I never turn down help.

- Chop saw?
- Yeah.

Don't tell Peggy I'm out here,

she thinks I'm shucking clams.

Not working today?

Ah, I just got back from Seattle.

Now, we can work this two ways...

one, we can spend the
next hour dancing around

whatever you came here to talk to me about,

or... and I have to say
I'm a big fan of this one...

just tell me what's going on.

Jeri's my new boss at the Seattle paper.

Well, that's not something I saw coming.

Yeah. That makes two of us.

What are you thinking?

I like my job.

No.

No, I love the job.

I want to stay, and I am going to stay.

Look, this is my career,

And I can't help that, at the moment,

my career is linked to Jeri.

Since you're here, I
imagine you want my opinion?

Yes.

Doesn't matter how I feel.

Matters how Olivia feels.

Talk to Olivia.

Well, that's easier said than done.

I don't know what's
going on between you two,

but I speak from experience
when I tell you...

don't give her too much time

to think about whatever
you are fighting about.

Talk to her.

Uh-uh-uh! I only
want half of that.

Your willpower really annoys me sometimes.

- Sorry.
- No, you are not.

No. I'm not.

So, you said the pie was a bribe.

Mm-hmm. For advice.

Go on.

Norman. Our ex-Town Manager.

He doesn't realize the "ex" part,

and he won't leave his office.

- Literally.
- Oh.

I don't want to be rude to
him, but in order for me to

do the job that I did not want to do,

but I got talked into doing,

I need him to vacate the office!

Maybe you could find
something else for him to do.

Like spelunking?

Yes! Grace! Spelunking.

How am I supposed to find
this man something else to do?

Now, I know it's a novel idea,
but you could talk to him.

You know, this pie is so good,
I think I'll have the other half.

Ooh! I am so happy to give
you the extra calories.

Paul Watson.

I would love for you to meet Grace Sherman.

- Hi.
- Hi!

Paul is our new D.A.

Ahh!

Makes me want to break the law.

Oh, please, don't.

Grace is our new Town Manager.

- Oh!
- Mm.

Okay. I'm just gonna go,

you know, let you two do that
little lawyer thing that you do.

Oh, I was just leaving.

I'll walk you out.

Came to check up on you.

I'm okay.

I know you really wanted
that job with Derek.

Ah, it was perfect.

Out on the water.

I love the water. I miss it.

You're starting to sound like Seth.

Hey, I'm not Seth, okay?

Sorry. Can we drop it?

- But I...
- Just drop it.

Please?

I was wondering if I could buy you lunch.

A working lunch.

I want to pick your
brain on staff, and, uh...

Jack.

- Hey.
- Um...

This is Paul Watson,

- he's the new D.A.
- Hi.

- Hey.
- Paul, This is Jack Griffith.

He runs our local paper.

Listen. I was hoping that we could talk.

Ah, I know that you're on break.

We were just about to have lunch.

My fault. We have administrative things

we need to talk over. We should go.

Okay, ah, well, listen,
I'll... I'll catch you later,

but, um, I really would
like to talk to you.

Yeah.

- Jack's a nice guy.
- He is.

He's more than a reporter, though.

So... boyfriend?

See, you took a beat
to answer that question,

which means one of two things...

either it's a new relationship,

and you haven't gotten to the
place where you're comfortable

with the monikers,

or you're in a relationship,

and something has given you pause...

like the pause you took
to answer that question.

Moon makes a mean latte.

Got it. You don't want to talk about it.

Not unless you want to
talk about your divorce.

How'd you know?

A hunch. The look on your face tells me

the hunch is correct.

Wow. You gotta remind me to
never play poker with you.

Done.

So... latte, huh?

Best in the state.

Actually, I do have some business

I'd like to discuss with you.

- Rebecca Jennings.
- Your A.D.A.

Well, you know her better
than I do. What's your opinion?

I had my issues with her in the beginning,

but she's gotten better.

So she is strong-willed.

Oh, that's a nice way of puttin' it.

She and I had a 10-minute argument

over how to use the coffee
machine. I mean, you take a pod,

you put it in, you press
a button... thank you...

and she still found it
necessary to school me

on the proper procedure.

Rebecca's smart,

- but she often leads with her attitude.
- How'd Anthony deal with her?

For a D.A., Anthony was very laid back.

That's not really my way.

You like a little more control?

Yeah, and I think I'm not the
only person at this table who does.

So, any helpful hints

on how to deal with the
intense Miss Jennings?

- You want my help.
- I want a new A.D.A.

I didn't think you'd be
one to run from a challenge.

Nice! Reverse psychology.

My minor. Yale.

Actually, I am concerned

that Rebecca's not gonna
be able to fall in line.

But you don't know that for sure.

- Meaning?
- Well, everybody deserves

an opportunity to prove themselves.

Are we talking about Rebecca,
or are we talking about Jack?

Rebecca.

How about that latte?

Yes. I think.

Sure, Luke's qualified.

So hire him. You were going to.

Seth's my friend. I don't feel like
hiring the guy who stole his girlfriend.

No one "stole" me. I'm a person,
Derek, not an unlocked car.

Oh, yeah? Well, you don't know
how broken up he was about it.

I mean, you really hurt him.

Have... have you talked to
him? Have you called him?

I didn't think that he'd
want to talk from me.

No, you didn't want to talk to him,

because it's uncomfortable for you.

So, are you upset with me or with Luke?

It's funny. I always thought
you were a pretty fair guy.

But what you're doing to Luke isn't fair

and it isn't right.

Kind of like what you did to Seth.

You've got a lot of stuff.

Hate to throw anything out.

- You a hoarder?
- Collector.

Can you sell any of this at an auction?

Probably not.

You're a hoarder.

Oh, I met this woman yesterday

who might be interested in
renting the third bedroom.

Anything that lowers my rent interests me.

So, uh, when do you start your new job?

Tomorrow.

- Don't be nervous.
- Is it that obvious?

I read people for a living,
but, yeah, it's pretty obvious.

I know some of the doctors
there. They're really nice.

And I'm the one who should be nervous.

- Why you?
- I have a meeting with my new boss

and I just got my old boss to like me

and now I got to start all
over again with someone new.

And if he doesn't like me,

we're going to need a fourth
roommate to cover my rent.

So here's hoping I don't lose my job.

You've got to be more positive.

If we're gonna make this
work, you got to be less perky.

I'll see what I can do.

Bring down the perky.

Bob! Oven!

- Peggy.
- What?

This kitchen is not
equipped to cook enough food

for all the people at the benefit,

and I am not equipped to
be your short-order cook.

- You're my sous chef!
- I'm your husband!

Well, then start acting like it,

and get busy with those lobsters!

They're not gonna butterfly themselves.

I'm on strike.

You don't belong to a union.

- I'll join.
- Bob...

if this event doesn't
happen, I'll be humiliated,

and I can't let all those fishermen down.

And I can't let Moon see
I can't do it without him.

Just talk to Moon.

Who?

I feel bad.

Don't. It's okay.

No, it's not. I'm the reason
that Derek won't hire you.

Hey, if I had to choose
between you and the job,

it's a no-brainer.

But I don't think Derek's the
only reason that you're upset.

You should call him.

- Seth?
- Mm.

What would I say?

In group, we do a lot of work

on how you can't avoid the pain

or the discomfort of things.

By you not talking to Seth,

it's not making you feel better,

it's making you feel worse.

He deserves closure.

So do you.

Rebecca.

Can we talk later? I'm running late.

Rebecca.

Is there something wrong?

The Simmons motion.

- I filed it.
- Yeah, that's the problem.

I don't understand.

I sign off on everything
that goes through my office,

because I am responsible for
everything that comes out of my office.

Sorry.

I don't think that you are.

No. I'm not.

And I shouldn't have to be.

- I was doing my job.
- Wow! Well, you're honest.

And I'm competent.

- Look, I've been filing motions since I...
- It doesn't matter

what you used to do.

What matters is what you will do,

going forward.

Your way is going to cost time.

My way

is the way that we're gonna do things.

You know why?

Because I'm in charge.

Not you.

Hey!

You look like you're
having a tough morning.

Well, if I'm completely honest,

which I am trying to do
more of these days, uh...

Yeah, I'm a little upset.

What?

Okay, who?

Olivia.

You're angry at Olivia?

Just feels like she's
never gonna forgive me.

And if she doesn't, then...

you know, what am I doing?

Do you remember what it was like

when you were a kid on Christmas Eve?

- Yeah.
- Made you crazy to wait

for Christmas morning,

and the more you thought
about it, the longer it seemed?

Okay.

People we end up hurting have
their own time table for healing.

You can't get to where you want to get

any faster than others allow,

just because it's uncomfortable for you.

And you're not angry at her,

as much as you're mad at yourself.

How did you get to be so wise?

I took classes.

Well, they're paying off, by the way.

- Nicely done.
- Thanks.

Hi.

How can I help you?

Think I crossed the line.

With the "second chances" and Jack.

The ring just came off...

by the way.

That's the reason I took this job.

How long were you married?

12 years.

First two were good.

The next eight were...

livable.

Last two were unbearably horrible.

Thank you.

For?

Not asking about Jack.

Sure.

So, um, did you

call a truce with Rebecca?

No.

She won't budge.

Thinking I'm gonna have to let her go.

Hey.

You're gonna fire her?

Would you want to work with her?

- I'm a judge.
- You didn't answer the question.

- She's...
- Gone.

End of story. Moving on.

Hi, Bob.

I've got two good people in my life.

Two really good people who
are trying to do a good thing

and they only want the best for
Cedar Cove and the community.

"But..."?

But they're both stubborn as mules,

and because they refuse to work together,

I've got dishpan hands!

I don't want dishpan hands.

I want you. I need you.

Cedar Cove needs you.

Peggy needs you.

Ah, for the love of all things holy,

come on back to the benefit

and get me the heck out of the kitchen.

Huh?

- I love being Town Manager.
- Liar!

I need this job.

Okay, that's closer to the truth,

but it's not the whole truth.

This job is saving my marriage.

Look, when I took early retirement,

I had lots of time, lots of money,

but my wife isn't used to
having me around all day.

I don't have any hobbies. Work is my hobby.

I...

I'd love to give up this job,

but I can't.

Got your text. What's up?

Whatever you did, I forgive you.

What did I do?

I don't know. But I do
know that Derek called me

and he hired me on a probationary basis.

- I got the job.
- That's great!

- Thank you for not listening to me.
- Anytime.

Oh! The reporter.

Jack. The lawyer...

D.A., ah Paul.

Oh, I remember the name.

So you're here to see Judge Lockhart?

No, actually, I'm getting
background on Saget versus Saget.

Ahh! That should be an interesting story.

Yeah. That's the plan.

If you'd like, I'm
available for an interview.

But you had nothing to do with it.

I am the new D.A.

Yeah, but no offense,
that's not really news.

Seems like, ah, around here,

a new D.A. might be.

Small-town paper, but
ah, never small stories.

Small. Huh.

Afraid so.

By the way, sorry for interrupting
you and Olivia the other day.

She's a fascinating woman.

You're a lucky man.

Yeah.

You still mad at me?

Alex!

I didn't even recognize you.

You scared me for a second.

Thought you weren't talking to me.

No.

Good, because...

Well, I just wanted to tell
you again how sorry I am.

- I never meant to...
- I know, and it's okay.

You might've done me a
favor in the long run.

I landed a new job.

Back in the business world.

I'm working at The Saget Company.

Oh! Well, that's, you know, great.

Good to see you.

Yeah.

Guess who?

Will.

I'm back.

Mm.

Hello!

- Hi.
- Hi.

I'm sorry. Who are you,
and what are you doing here?

Buck hired me.

Oh, good. Obviously, his first decision

was a smart one. Ah, actually, truth is,

I've been looking for an assistant for a
while now, so this should work out nicely.

Uh, coffee order... caffe mocha,
no whipped cream, no sugar,

extra-dry, half-skim, half... full milk.

You're kidding right?

Ah, no. Chop-chop.

I'm not your new assistant.

I'm your new Chief Financial Officer.

And by the way, that coffee order
of yours is completely ridiculous.

You can go.

Why?

Peggy and Moon aren't speaking.

All I can tell you is I am all shucked out.

I will never look at
clams the same way again.

Benefit cookout?

Peggy thinks she can do it without Moon.

I wish she would do it without me.

I'm no cook.

I can't get her to budge.

Well, then, I suggest you tackle this

from the other end.

Now, I'm actually here on
official Town Manager business.

- Oh?
- Norman.

- Ahh.
- You got me into this.

Well, that I did.

Now you're gonna get me out of it.

What do you think?

I love it.

And the rent seems pretty reasonable.

Can I get back to you on the deposit?

- Yeah. Sure.
- Hi.

I was just showing the room.

Justine.

- Rebecca.
- You guys know each other?

Rebecca tried to put a sick
friend of mine in prison.

Oh.

He didn't go.

Not because you didn't want him to.

True. But he's doing well, I hear.

No thanks to you.

- Look, this is a bit...
- Don't worry, I'm out of here.

Wait! I...

Great.

You just lost us the most normal
person who answered our ad.

I hired Alex because she's bright.

- Oh! Right!
- Attractive and bright.

Her job is to straighten out this mess

that you got the company into.

- I can handle it.
- Nah, I've been

cleaning up after you your whole life.

You know, what would be a
lot simpler for both of us

is if you just went back to New York.

- I like it here.
- Really? I don't think you do.

I do.

It's great being the only
shark walking down the street.

You do me a favor and you make sure

you tell her that she stays out of my way.

No. You stay out of her way.

This company has my name and,
more importantly, my money.

Now, you don't like it and I don't
like it, but you are stuck with me

until I think I can trust you
with the reins again. Okay?

I didn't hear you come in.

How was your day?

Not great.

Rebecca Jennings.

- Rebecca?
- Thought I found the

perfect place to move
into, just one problem...

Rebecca.

Linnette McAfee is the other
roommate, and she's great, but...

You know, that stuff with Luke was
a long time ago, and people change.

Not her.

Are you gonna tell me
what's going on with Jack?

I'm not blind, you know.

We're working through something.

That's what you said before
you and Dad got divorced.

Different people, different situation.

He loves you, you know.

I know.

But how do you know?

Mom, it's written all over his face.

He's been nuts for you since day one.

Well, maybe it's good that
I don't have an apartment,

since I don't even have a job.

You want to move out.

- Yes.
- And you want to get...

...a job so you can move out.

Yes.

Anything worth having

is worth fighting for.

You know, I could say
the same thing to you.

You're working kinda late.

You too, by the looks of it.

Peggy sent me out for butter two hours ago.

Truth is I'm hiding.

Can't stand the heat, huh?

So I got out of the kitchen.

I just finished my Seattle story for Jeri.

Thought I'd, uh, go take a little break

before getting into the second one.

Look, Bob.

I owe you an apology.

I fell off the wagon a couple of weeks ago.

And I should have said something,

but I was just too embarrassed.

You knew, didn't you?

Relapse is part of the recovery, Jack.

You know, it's not the mistakes we make,

it's... it's how we react and
correct those mistakes that counts.

Well, I started covering up and, um...

lying to people. You know.

Lying to Olivia.

Sober now.

I just finished a great article

on the Sagets' internal fight

for control over their
family business and...

I just feel lousy.

Jack, you've been so busy

trying to get Olivia to forgive you,

that you forgot to forgive yourself,

and you're never going to feel
quite right till you do that.

You're a success story

as long as you keep trying
and working to stay sober.

I am a work in progress.

Aren't we all?

Hey.

- What?
- What is your problem?

You, at the moment.

No, it's not me, it's you.

You can't own up to the fact

that you made a mistake about Luke.

That's what this is between us.

I thought I just didn't like you.

No, you don't like what you did,

but instead of doing the human thing and

apologizing or saying,
"hey, I got this one wrong,"

you're holding a stupid grudge against me.

How many grudges you
got going at the moment?

I'm guessing it's a lot.

It's your loss. I would've
been a great roommate.

So Norman's retiring?

I'm working on it.

Your first job as Town Manager.

Yeah. I like it.

Helping people with more

than just finding the
latest author of the month.

Like I said, you're gonna
make an amazing Town Manager.

So I have something I have to tell you.

Will decided to move back
to Cedar Cove for the summer.

Yeah, how'd you know?

I ran into him.

Didn't punch him, though. I
get points for that. Right?

Absolutely.

Well, a lot of obstacles out there.

If it's not Will, it'd be something else.

But you can't let him or
anything else throw you.

Will has nothing to do with us.

The only people who can
get in our way are us.

Still have my ring?

In my purse.

I am looking forward to
seeing that on your hand...

when you're ready.

- Hi.
- Oh.

Rebecca came to see me.

Why?

To tell me her side of the story.

There's always two sides to every story.

She doesn't follow the rules.

She's a loose cannon.

You haven't always
followed the rules either.

Wow.

State of Washington versus Hollick.

I lost this case.

No, you forced a mistrial.

That was a rumor.

Well, rumor has it, if you
hadn't forced a mistrial,

jeopardy would have attached,

and a murderer would have gone free.

I'm impressed.

So am I.

At your second trial,

you were able to get back your lost witness

and put a guilty man
where he belongs, prison,

all because you didn't follow the rules.

You don't find Rebecca annoying
because she argues with you,

you find her annoying because
she reminds you of you.

Well, you're certainly not wasting
that psychology minor, are you?

Goodbye, Paul.

Goodbye, Olivia.

Thanks.

Well, you were right, I was wrong.

It wasn't fair.

He just better be good.

He is.

Okay.

I'm sorry.

I'm not the one you need to say that to.

Seth?

Don't hang up.

Am I allowed in?

Sure.

Look, I'm, ah, sorry about yesterday.

No, I'm the one who came to apologize.

I got so caught up in everything,

I didn't listen to a word you said.

I was wrong. I'm sorry.

Thank you, Peggy.

I'm not crazy about fighting
with people I don't like,

much less the ones that I do.

Me either!

Come on in, guys,

They all came to volunteer

so you don't have to do it all yourself.

I mean, that is,

if you decided to possibly change
your mind and come back, please?

Ah, you knew I was gonna
do this all along, right?

I sure hoped so.

Oh!

Thank you!

All right, come in and sit down, everyone.

We'll come up with a plan of action.

We're back!

Cecilia!

I know it's late.

I wanted to come by
and thank you in person.

I'm going to move to Port Orchard

so I can be closer to Bremerton,

that way, when Ian is on leave,
we can spend more time together,

and his family is there,

I'll need all the help
I can get with the baby.

He wants us to be a family again.

We're going to go to counseling.

He told me, Olivia,
about the email you sent,

about, well... about everything.

What was the expression you used?

"The importance of forgiveness."

That's it.

He's forgiven me and...

well, it's all because of you.

No, now, your persistence
played a big part in this, too.

Cecilia, just... just a second.

You're going to be a mother soon

and that means

someone else is going
to be depending on you

to make good, smart life decisions.

Now, I know that you're
a good, smart person...

but I think it's time that
you started to think that, too.

Okay.

And I don't want to see
you back in my courtroom.

I only want to see you here,

in my house with your
husband and your new baby.

Aww.

I'll never forget what you did for me,

for us.

Hi, Jack.

Cecilia.

Goodnight.

Jack.

Don't worry, I'm not here
to take away your space.

I just wanted to drop off an early
edition of The Chronicle.

I didn't want you to miss the editorial.

Goodnight.

Goodnight.

Oh, Moon! Photo op.

Oh!

Tah-dah!

- Mwah! We did it!
- Yes. That we did.

And I couldn't have done it without you.

Well, I wouldn't have done it
without you, and I thank you for that.

- Aww.
- I like to be careful...

...with my money, but it does feel good

to let go of some of it
go every once in a while.

- For a good cause.
- Aw.

Rebecca... is back.

On probation.

She said that if she didn't
file the motion when she did,

that she would've lost
a big piece of evidence.

- Her side of the story.
- Yeah.

And I told her, next time,
there better not be a next time.

I need her to start coming
to me first. What?

Well, if you want her to come to you first,

you might try being a
little more approachable.

I'm very approachable.

In high school, I was voted

"most likely to be approached," so...

And... you approached
me, with no problem...

I'm not Rebecca.

No, you are not.

So you're going to start work on Monday.

What're you talking about?

You're the new Thyme and
Tide guest relations manager.

It's kind of like a concierge. Right, Bob?

Uh... yeah.

So what's this new job pay?

Double the salary you made as Town Manager.

You mean nothing?

Er, yeah. That's correct.

I'll take it.

I'll see you bright and early.

I got some ideas.

He's like a boomerang.

I send him to you, and you
send him right back to me.

That's correct.

That room is yours.

If you still want it, that is.

I can't believe she did that.

- What?
- My mom talked to you?

No.

Then what's with the
sudden change of heart?

- You're tough.
- I am.

- Most people back down from me.
- I'm not most people.

I get that.

It'll, ah, still be weird
that I work with your mother.

No weirder than the fact you tried
to put my boyfriend in prison.

True enough.

First, last, and security deposit.

- Done.
- Okay.

Well?

I'm moving out.

Yes!

As long as I can get the first,
last, and the security deposit.

You will.

What makes you so sure?

Because I know how amazing you are.

I talked to Seth.

Good.

Sorry.

Linnette, have you met my new ranch hand?

No.

Linnette, this is Cal Pattenson.

Hi.

He's not much of a talker.

I've been trying to figure
out a way to tell you.

Tell me what?

Someone from our past has contacted me.

Who?

Our child.

Our child from the past?

The child we gave up for adoption.

The child I gave up.

"If making mistakes is something

"we all have in common, so
is the ability to forgive.

"It's my hope that those whom I
have hurt in the past can forgive me.

"And I hope even more that someday...

"I can forgive myself."

I miss you.

I miss us.

I miss...

sunsets.

Chinese food...

Waking up next to you.

I miss your perfume.

I miss... fighting

and...

I miss making up.

I miss it all.

I miss you, too.

Well, why are we sitting here,
missing each other, then, huh?

Let's start over.

I love you...

but no.

No?

I don't want to start over.

I want us to move forward.

Together.

I want us to move in together.

On an all new Cedar Cove...

You know what I see?

Jack!

I didn't cause this situation...

You did!

I have no credit, I have no
signing ability for checks...

or vote to power of attorney... you know,

it feels like it's my sixteenth
birthday all over again.

I am promoting you to assistant editor.

Do you trust him? Can you trust him?
