Previously, on cedar cove...

Don't say you love me.
Show me you love me.

[crowd hooting]

[cliff]: Grace...

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?

[olivia]: Of course it is!

But, ultimately,

You need to make a choice.

Jack?

[¶¶¶]

[phone rings]

¶ i silence all the voices
in my head ¶

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?

[laughing]

Yes! Yes.

[sighs]

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?

[luke]: 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.

[groans]

[grunts]

-[knob rattles]
-[banging on door]

[metal clatters]

[rattling]

[door bangs open]

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.

[footsteps]

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.

[footsteps receding]

[sighs wearily]

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.

[relieved sigh] 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 is 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?

[words catching]

[¶¶¶]

Do you need some help?

Nah, i--

But if you keep
talking to me,

I'll gladly
flatten my tire again.

[chuckles] 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...

[exhales]

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 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.

[chuckles]

I think
it'll be good for me

To get away from the cowboys
for a while.

Tch-tch.

Hey!

Hi!

Oh! Thanks.

[exhales deeply]

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!

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 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.

If we don't get married,
if 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.

[footsteps]

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.

[olivia sets gavel down]

And i want to see pictures
of that dinner.

The hat
and sunglasses

Just make you look
even more suspicious.

[chuckling] 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'm 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.

[exhales]

Daddy's home.

[justine]: I wish you would've
let me pay for breakfast.

[luke]:
I'm just not comfortable

With the idea of taking
your mother's money.

[justine]: What?

[luke]: 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.

Linnette...

I'm fine.

[sighs]

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.

Maybe 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.

[chuckling]

Bye, dad.

[bob]: 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.

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

I should go.

You shouldn't have come.

It's too soon.

[jack sighs]

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... [sighs]

I've been under
a lot of pressure.

Okay? And i just, um...

[sighing] 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.

[door shuts]

[sighing]

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.

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.

[beep]

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.

[chuckles]

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.

[she walks out]

You want me to be
the town manager?

Cedar cove needs you.

-Me?
-Yes. That's why i'm here.

[chuckles, scoffing]

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.

[both laughing]

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?

[dejected sigh]

Go on.

[laughing]

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.

[chuckles]

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.

[olivia chuckles]

[door creaks open]

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?

[laughs]

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.

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.

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 my treat.

-Sure.
-Yeah?

-Yeah.
-Let's go.

-[knocking at door]
-eric?

Yeah?

What happened?
Are you okay?

Oh, this?
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--

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.

[takes a deep breath]

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.

[jeri]:
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.

[beeps phone off]

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.

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.

[huffs]

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.

[eric walks away]

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.

[chuckles]

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.

[fridge door thuds]

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.

You mean my business.

No. 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.

[door opens and closes]

-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.

[chuckles] in my office?

Ahh! It's my office.
I'm the new town manager.

Since when?

Well, since you retired.

[laughing]

Who told you i retired?

[keeps laughing]

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.

[laughs]
you are so entitled.

And who entitled me?

That's your mother's fault.

-Which one?
-[senior chuckles dryly]

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?

[laughs]

[sighs heavily]

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.

[laughs] 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,

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.

[clink]

[sighs heavily]

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.

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,

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.

Well, get him to leave,

But make it seem
like it was his idea.

Anything else?

Yeah, 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!

[fuming sigh]

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.

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.

[awkward chuckle]

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.
[thumps chair]

[door shuts]

[knocking]

[chuckles softly]
come in?

[door opens]

Hi. Uh, judge lockhart?

I'm paul. Watson.

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.

[chuckles]

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 would 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!
-[moon laughs]

Sorry!

I thought you
already had a job

Out at
cliff's ranch.

Oh, not anymore. I quit.

It was time.

So what kind of work
you looking for?

No idea.

What did you do
before cliff's?

Wall street.
I was a trader.

[moon laughing]:
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.

[senior]: 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.

[chuckling]

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 senior

Holds controlling interest
in the company,

Although mr. Saget junior
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.
-[gavel clacks]

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.

[chuckles]

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.

[bob sighs]

Look, this is my career,

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.

[olivia chuckles]

So, you said
the pie was a bribe.

Mm-hmm. For advice.

Go on.

[sighing]

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.

[knocking]

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.

[laughing]

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.

[mouthing words]

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.

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.

This is paul watson
he's the new d.A.

-Hey.
-Paul, this is jack griffith.

He runs
our local paper.

Listen. I was hoping
that we could talk.

I know that you're on break.

We are just about
to have lunch.

My fault. We have administrative
things

We need to talk over.

We should go.

Okay, well, listen,
i'll catch you later,

But, um, i really would
like to talk to you.

[¶¶¶]

Jack's a nice guy.

He is.

He's more than
a reporter, though.

So... Boyfriend?

[laughs]

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.

[both laughing[

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. Thanks.

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 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.

[thumps stool down]

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.

[sighing]
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?

What would i say?

[sighing deeply]

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.

[sternly]: 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.

[wheezing]

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,

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.

[exhales intently]

How did you get to be so wise?

I took classes.

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

[both laughing]

-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.

Think i'm gonna
have to let her go.

[exhaling wearily]

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.

[olivia sighs]

[exhaling wearily]

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.

[grumbles softly]

"but..."?

But they're both stubborn
as mules,

And because they refuse
to work together,

I've got dishpan hands!

[laughing]

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.

[sighing]

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 mean, 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 basic.

I got the job.

That's great.

Thank you for
not listening to me.

Anytime.

[chuckling]

Oh! The reporter.

Jack. The lawyer?

D.A. Uh, 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, around here,

A new d.A. Might be.

Small-town paper,
but 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.

[opens door]

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.

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.

Ah, good.

Obviously, his first decision
was a smart one.

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--

-[alex scoffs]
-...Full milk.

You're kidding right?

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.

[warren walks off]

[knocking]

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!

Great.

You just lost us
the most normal person

Who answered our ad.

[door slams]

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.

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?

[justine]:
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.

[laughs]

[keyboard clacking]

[door opens]

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,
take a little break

Before getting into
the second one.

Look, bob. [sighing]

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 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...

[voice breaks]:
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.

[thumps desk]

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.
-Hello.

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.

[quietly]: 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.

Not the one
you need to say that to.

Seth?

Don't hang up.

[knocking]

Am i allowed in?

[chuckles]
sure.

Look, i'm 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.

[laughs]
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.

[peggy]: We're back!

[knocking at door]

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! [chuckles]

Tah-dah!
[shutter clicks]

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.

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.
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.

Kind of a concierge.
Right, bob?

Uh... Yeah.

So what's this new job pay?

Double the salary
you made as town manager.

You mean nothing?

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 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.

[¶¶¶]

¶ every time ¶

¶ you look away... ¶

"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."

¶ just like a day trip
to the moon ¶

¶ the constellations
which arrive... ¶

[sighs]

I miss you.

I miss us.

I miss...

Sunsets.

Chinese food...

[laughing]

Waking up
next to you.

I miss your perfume.

I miss... Fighting

And...

I miss making up.

[laughs]

I miss it all.

[voice breaks]:
I miss you, too.

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

[both laughing]

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.
