Previously on Cedar Cove...

Olivia Lockhart,
this is Liz.

I'm his sister.

I don't think I can be
in the wedding.

I'm sorry.

Your brother, Will, sold me
his stake in the house.

[crowd cheering]

Hey, we got
a problem here?

Yeah. You.

[¶¶¶]

So...
I want to apologize

for the game yesterday.

You don't have to
apologize to me.

No, I want to.

I, uh... I got
a little out of hand.

Well, things did get
a little fiery.

It wasn't
about the game.

I didn't think so.

Do you want to
tell me about it?

It's Paul's sister.

Liz?

Yeah, I heard her
at the Galley,

the night before the game.

And?

She thinks that you and Paul
should be together.

[chuckles]

And now that
I say that out loud,

it sounds as ridiculous
as that statement.

She's just trying
to fix him up.

He looks like he can handle
that department okay.

He just went through
a terrible divorce

and his ex-wife
is about to get married.

Ouch.

Now...

Alex.

I just couldn't
turn my back on her.

If we're going to be a couple,

we need to make
these decisions together.

Being a sponsor is a big deal.

It would have been nice
to tell me

before you told Alex.

Agreed.

Bob doesn't think
I shouldn't do it.

He doesn't think
I'm up for it.

I think
you'll be great,

and I understand.

Alex needs you,

and it feels really good
to be needed.

Thank you.

[sighs]

What's going on between us

has nothing to do
with Paul and Alex.

If we're going to get things
back on track,

we need to spend
more time together.

Maybe we shouldn't be
so social with others,

and we should be
more social with each other?

That is a brilliant idea.

Yeah.

I would involve more dates.

Mm.

Mm-hmm.

Tonight?

Well, if you're
back in time.

Back?

Seattle, Jeri,
the owner of the paper?

How did you know
I was going?

Because I know you.

Right.

Look, she is meeting with him
because she ran my story.

I have to fix this.

How many breakfasts
can you eat?

[chuckles]

Wasn't eating breakfast.

I was giving notice.

What, you're leaving
Cedar Cove?

No, no, I found
a rental house.

I'll be out
by the end of the week.

Ah.

He's not
leaving town yet,

but it's a start.

Bob Beldon.

What?

What'd I do?

You know what you did.

[tsking]

No.

Well, can't you
think about it?

I have.

Since when do you
want a big wedding?

Since now.

Maryellen is in
a delicate place.

Which is
no reason to elope.

I can't believe
this matters to you.

No, no,
not the wedding,

where it takes place.

It matters.

Why?

[sighs heavily]

Eloping feels like
we'd be running away,

'cause we would be.

And we have nothing
to run from.

I have finally gotten you
to say yes,

put a ring on your finger,
set a date.

Maryellen will be fine.

[¶¶¶]

[door opens]

Hey, sis.

You're back.

I am.

Just got back.

So...

what's new?

You're kidding, right?

You mean, Mom's house?

How could you?
Of all people to sell to...

I didn't want it
to come between us.

I told you
that I would buy it from you.

Not for what Warren paid.

Now I have to deal
with Warren Saget.

It's better this way.

For whom?

Well, for both of us.

You, yes.

I'm in business
with Warren Saget.

But we won't be fighting
about the house anymore.

[knocks]

Hey, Olivia.

Hi, Liz.

This is
my brother, Will.

Will, this is Liz,
it's Paul's sister.

-Hi.
-Hello.

Uh, well, I guess
I should probably get going.

Um, it was very nice
to meet you, Liz.

Paul and I ran into Jack

at the Galley.

I heard, from Jack.

Sorry.

I'm already part of a couple.

Your brother is my friend
and colleague.

Got it.

So, how are you going to spend
your last few days?

You could go paddle-boarding,

or kayaking.

You could take
the ferry--

I don't want to go out alone.

I could find you a tour guide.

You can't leave
without seeing Cedar Cove.

What's Will doing?

You want my brother
to take you around?

He seems nice.

Yes, but...

But?

Oh, Will can be...

Let me see
if Grace is available,

or her daughter,
Maryellen--

He seems perfect.

It's not a date,
it's just a tour guide.

You really want my brother
to show you around?

I do.

Okay.

I'll see what I can do.

Thanks.

Hmm.

So, what do you think?

Stick to your guns.

You don't want to be a part
of the wedding, then don't be.

Doesn't that make me
a bad person?

Your mother will get over it.

Yeah, I don't agree.

She has the right
to not want be a bridesmaid.

Okay, first of all,
it's maid of honor,

and it's a very big deal
to her mother.

Her mother will
get over it.

I wouldn't.

This is about more than
just a wedding.

How is that?

Why is that?

Because weddings are forever.

Not 41% of the time.

Okay, think
of it this way,

pictures are forever.

What are you talking about?

Every time she looks at
a picture of her wedding,

she will be reminded

that no matter how happy
she was on that day,

something was missing,

and that something was you.

And it's gonna be too late
to make it right.

It seems like
you're doing it for your mom,

but you're really
doing it for yourself.

No, you're doing it
for your mom.

Take it from me,
don't listen to them.

Are you close
with your mother?

Yes.

As close as I want to be.

When was the last time
you talked to her?

A month or so ago.

I give you your future,
if you don't fix this.

No offense.

I can't be offended.

I don't know
what you are talking about.

So, where'd you go?

You disappeared.

Sometimes I gotta get away,
clear my head.

Yeah, Derek was pretty mad.

Yeah, it wasn't cool
to take off like that.

Look...

I know.

That your wife
is not your ex-wife.

She's not in North Carolina
with her parents.

She's in Port Orchard
with your daughter,

and they're waiting
for you to come home.

[Derek]:
Okay, you two,

let's shove off.

I gotta go.

What?

No way, man,
not again.

Don't.

Stop running.

Mrs. Carroll, let me see
if I've got my facts straight.

You won a contest,

the prize was
a day-long spa visit.

Is that correct?

Yes, it is.

But the radio station

never sent you
your gift certificate?

And they didn't return
any of your calls?

No, they did not.

Are these facts true,
Mr. Wilson?

Yes, Your Honor,
with an explanation.

I'm all ears.

The spa reneged

on their offer to us.

Did the spa give a reason?

One of our morning DJs
made some...

unflattering remarks about them.

As a joke, of course.

You should have called
Mrs. Carroll back.

Avoidance of a problem

usually makes it worse,
not better.

I don't understand.

Clearly,

which is why you're in court.

A contest is as good
as a contract in our state,

and Mrs. Carroll
made that contract

with your radio station,

not the spa.

Court finds
in favor of the plaintiff.

You're going to love
the seaweed wrap.

Oh, and, um, let's throw
in a mani-pedi

for your troubles.

Oh, that would be lovely,
Judge Lockhart, thank you.

You're welcome.

[taps gavel]

Hey, boss.

What are you
doing here?

[sighing]

It was my story.

I don't need you, Jack.

Yes, you do.

You need someone
to have your back.

Why does that someone
have to be you?

Because when you ran my story,
you had my back.

I'm just returning the favor.

You know this meeting
is not about your story, Jack.

It's about digital media.

And this meeting
just happened to come about

after you ran my story.

Come on, Jeri.

We both know why you're here.

I'll do all the talking.

I'm just here as your second.

Justine,

even though I'm thoroughly
enjoying the show,

you are wasting
your breath

and my time.

And you'll be
wasting your time

when you try and get
my grandmother's property

rezoned.

Do you know how much of
a hassle that's going to be?

And her neighbors aren't
going to like it.

I had a project
a few years back

that sailed through
the zoning process, actually.

Easiest job
I ever did.

I was totally bored to death.

So you have no intention
of selling this property

back to my Mom.

Ah, let me think
about that for a second.

No.

You like this, don't you?

You begging?

No, Justine, I don't like it.

I love it.

And the fact that your mother
is now in business with me?

I love that, too,

I have to be honest.

I love it all.
[chuckling] It's just,

I don't know what's
going on with me,

I'm just so full of love.

I can't believe
that there was a time

when I actually
wanted to marry you.

It was lovely to see
you again, Justine.

Come back anytime.

I've said it before,
and I'll say it again.

You really have a way
with the ladies.

Dad, please, not now, really.

You're batting
a thousand,

in reverse.

Kelly, gone.

Justine, gone.

What's her name,
the figure skater, gone.

They're gone, Dad,

because I don't trust
any of those ladies.

They let me down.

So, I said goodbye
and thank you.

None of them?

To be honest,

it's not just about them.

Look, Dad, to be--
I don't really trust anyone.

And why is that?

Because every person

that I have ever trusted

has let me down.

That's my fault.

How could that be?

I mean, really?

You didn't raise me, did you?

You were never around.

[knock on door]

I can't have

an ex-parte conversation
about the Ford case

without defense
counsel present.

Can you talk about
you setting up your brother

with my sister

without defense counsel present?

Do you have
a problem with that?

I do.

I really do.

I know I've said things
about Will,

but it's not fair
to base your judgment on that.

It's not Will,

it's Liz.

Excuse me?

I love my sister, but
she's completely co-dependent,

and she will latch onto
your brother like a sucker-fish

and never leave
Cedar Cove.

Don't you think
you're overreacting?

No.

All her talk about
not wanting me to be alone

and wanting me to find someone

is just her

projecting
her feelings.

You think you're the only one
who minored in Psych?

I already promised your sister.

Then un-promise her.

It's not a set-up.

It's just a friendly
little tour guide.

I don't care what you call it,
it's them hanging out.

I need to go to court.

And you need
to calm down.

I have never seen you
this rattled.

It'll be fine, I promise,

and I always keep my promises.

Okay.

[door closes]

Not good.

Not good...

I hope you don't mind,
I brought Jack Griffith.

I am a fan of your
work, Mr. Griffith.

Oh, call me Jack.

Jack it is.

Being my second in command,

I thought it might be helpful
to have Jack handy

should there be
any "digital media" issues

that need clarification.

Please, both of you,

have a seat, let's talk.

Bad day?

Yeah.

You should probably
stay away

from Warren Saget.

He called.

He was quite pleased

that you came by
his office.

It was sweet,

but you shouldn't
have done it.

I have to
make this right.

What on earth would
make you think that?

I should have
seen it coming.

I should have been
able to warn you.

Oh, honey,

none of this
is your fault.

You can't let Warren
get the house.

I have no intention
of allowing that to happen.

I will fight him
with everything I have.

In court,

with a lawyer.

Me.

Not you.

[talking quietly]
Now, this is the inside...

[clears throat]

That's some nice
luggage, Dad.

Where are you going?

Please be leaving.

It's where
are we going?

What are you talking about,
I'm not going anywhere.

I've decided

we're going to do
a little team-building exercise.

[chuckles] What team?

Us.

You're kidding
me, right?

All the Fortune 500 CEOs
swear by it.

What are we gonna do?

Are gonna go out
into the back woods,

and bang the drums
a little bit,

and talk about
our feelings?

'Cause trust me, Dad,

you don't want to know
about my feelings.

Besides,
what about her?

Alex already knows

what being part of team
is all about.

I'm busy, Dad.

I'm not
going anywhere.

Hmm.

Alex, how do you
like your office?

Oh, it's fine.

Hmm.

How do you like
Warren's office?

Oh, well,

Warren's office is so...

large and airy.

It's got
a lot of windows.

Seems like

it's maybe too large
and airy for Warren.

All that space
can be overwhelming.

Exactly what
I was thinking.

I'd be willing
to trade offices.

That's very
generous of you.

Okay, I've
had enough.

That's not happening.

It is if I say it is.

I think Alex's office
is too small for her.

I think she'd be more
comfortable in this office.

I really would.

You wouldn't.

And you aren't.

Get changed.

We'll talk on the way.

Don't touch anything
on my desk.

Have fun.

So, Matt won't even consider
talking to his wife?

No.

He's too stubborn.

It's funny.

What?

Well, in basic training,
it's drilled into you

that your survival is dependent
upon the guy in front of you

and the guy behind you.

But then you return
from serving,

and all you do
is shut everyone out.

You need your buddies
as much in peace time

as in war time.

It's a total disconnect.

Maybe you need
some help with this.

I got it.

I can handle it.

Yeah,

but maybe you still
need some help.

Like you said,

you need your buddies
as much in peace time

as war time, right?

Paul is really leaving.

I know.

He's leaving because
you are rude and unfriendly.

Okay.

Well, I'm not okay with it.

I am.

Bob Belden,

we are known
for our gracious, inviting,

and welcoming spirit.

Well, you can't
win them all, Peg.

He is a nice man,

and he's
a great tenant,

and you need to go
make it right.

No way.

I don't want to
be fixed up,

and even if I did,

I wouldn't be trusting you
to do the fixing.

It's not a date,
it's tour guiding.

Bridget Donahue.
High school.

Well, first,
that was high school,

and second, she was
beautiful and sweet,

so you're welcome.

She was dating
a 200-pound linebacker.

Right...

And when I innocently
asked Bridget to prom,

prompted by you,

the next thing I knew,

I was being carted off
to the nurse's office.

Bridget just wanted to make
her big goon of a boyfriend

jealous.

She used us both.

But I was the only one
who got beaten up.

Isolated incident.

Emily Nelson,

Kristen Cooper,

Lauren Brooks, Jill French.
Shall I continue?

Probably not.

Oh, come on, be nice.

It's Paul's sister.

No date, just show her around.

You owe me.

I don't.

Yes, you do.

You know you do.

So do me this favor.

No thanks, sis.

Find somebody else.

[sighs]

It's all in the wrist.

All right, Dad,
remind me again

what this has to do with
team building, please?

It's of an exercise
in patience

and persistence,

only we do it together,
as a team.

See?

No.

It's easy to catch
the little fish,

but in business,

we want to catch
the big fish,

and that takes
patience.

It's all in the wrist, huh?

Mm-hmm.

You're casting
all wrong.

Okay, Obi-Wan,
please instruct me.

It's not like you're
throwing a punch.

Gently.

Gently.

Like you're waving goodbye

to some woman
who just walked out on you.

[chuckles]

-Whoa, look at that.
-Good.

Whoo! That's
farther than yours.

Yeah.

Now, next time,

try it with
some bait on the hook.

[sighs]

[door opens]

[whispering] Come with me.

Where?

To spy on your brother
and my sister.

He's not taking her out.

Yes, he is.
Liz called.

I asked him and he said no.

My sister doesn't take no
for an answer,

and your brother collapsed
like a souffle in an earthquake.

[laughs]

It's gonna be fine.

Yes, because we
are gonna be there.

You're acting kind of crazy.

Okay.

Um, "tour guiding,"

or whatever it is
you and Liz are calling it...

it's not good.

She's gonna
end up liking Will,

and that will give her cause
to stick around Cedar Cove.

If my sister
sticks around Cedar Cove,

that will definitely
drive me crazy.

So, better a couple hours
of crazy

than a lifetime of crazy.

Let's go.

We gotta go.

[laughs]

Having just taken over
this position,

one of my main focuses

has been driving traffic
to our website,

and although the numbers

are not growing
as quickly as I'd like,

I still think--

I'm not happy
with these numbers.

Come on.

This isn't about
website traffic, right?

We should be honest,
at least,

about why
we're all here.

This is about John Comlin.

Your friend.

Jack, sit down.

No.

I think I'd like to hear
what Mr. Griffith has to say.

My job is the one
that should be in jeopardy,

not hers.

I was the one
who pitched the idea

of the article on John Comlin

to Jeri.

I did the interview.

I did the digging around
after the interview,

which lead to Comlin's
ex-business partner

giving me the facts

on which I based
the article that I wrote,

and then I relentlessly
hounded my boss

to run the story,

which she did,

knowing that
what is happening right here

was going to happen.

Digital media isn't what
you should be worried about.

It's this paper's integrity

if you're going to allow
your personal relationships

to dictate what and who
we report on.

If you'd be so kind
as to give us the room.

I think Jeri and I
need to speak alone.

Thanks.

So...

I have a job, you have a job,

I don't have time for this
and neither do you.

I checked with your clerk.

You have no more cases
this afternoon,

so you're staying.

For what?

To help me make sure

those two don't
make a match.

There's no match.

Your sister just wants
a tour guide.

My brother just got out of
a 30-year marriage.

He is not looking for
a relationship.

My sister loves a challenge

and she loves to throw herself
into a relationship

when things in her work life
aren't going well,

and things
aren't going well.

You two are close, huh?

Yeah.

Our whole lives.

We're the grounded ones.

Meaning?

We always have the bail money.

[laughs]

I don't understand.

You would if you met my brother
from North Carolina.

May I ask you a question?

Yeah. Shoot.

Why did you take this job?

Oh, uh, you mean,
because it's 3,000 miles

from everything
and everyone I know?

Yes.

Because it's 3,000 miles

from everything
and everyone I know.

I love my family.

But I guess I finally
ran away from home.

Why?

Well, aren't you the nosy one.

Well, you forced me to be here.

I did.
No, I did.

Um...

my ex and I

used to work together.

Well, you could have taken
another job.

Are you trying
to get rid of me?

[laughs]

You know, in the ER,

when someone's heart stops,

and they use the defibrillator
to shock it,

and bring them back to life?

That's what moving here
is for me.

Did it work?

It has had the desired effect.

Yes.

I think we've been stood up.

They didn't even know
we were here.

Yes, uh...

my sister told me
she was going to be here.

She lied.

Why?

Because she knew
I'd be waiting.

She wanted to get him alone.

Well, not for a date,
I promise.

Yeah?

Well, when we're
throwing rice at them

as they leave the church,

I get to say, "I told you so."

And would that make you happy?

It will.

Hi.

Well,

what's the verdict?

My management style
is not meshing with people,

including David.

Jeri, what can I do?

You already did it.

And you didn't need to do it.

Not a lot of people would've
fallen on their sword for me

in that situation.

In any situation.

And even if it was
about your story,

it doesn't matter,

because you were right,

when you're in charge,

you need to make tough choices,

and all you can do

is hope that those choices
are the right ones.

Running that story
was the right choice.

Yeah.

Jack...

Thanks.

You bet.

Hi, Mom.

Hey!

So...

So... what's up?

Let's do this.

This?

Your wedding.

You and I.

Maryellen Sherman reporting
for Maid of Honor duty.

Oh...

Honey, you don't want
to do this.

I do.

That's very sweet of you
to try.

I'm not being sweet.

Mom, I want to be
your Maid of Honor.

Oh, I love you,

and I know how you feel.

So I just
want you to know

I'm really okay

with you just being there
at the ceremony.

Olivia can take over,

and it's good.

All good.

What is the point
of this, really, Dad?

The point is you haven't
caught a fish yet.

You don't quit in business
until the job gets done.

Same as fishing.

Yeah, I would like to be
doing some business right now,

but, unfortunately,
I'm out here with you fishing.

Well, maybe
you need to learn

that there's more
to life than business.

And maybe I don't like
the way you do business,

and maybe I don't like
how you treat people,

and maybe...

[sighing]

and maybe that's my fault.

I should've taken you fishing
when you were a kid.

I thought about it.

Even put it on my calendar
once or twice, but...

something always came up.

Well, if it makes
you feel any better, Dad,

I probably would've
hated it as a kid

as much as I do now.

[laughing]

It's no fun
being alone, Warren.

And maybe one day,
you'll realize that.

Maybe you can learn
from some of my mistakes.

I know I wasn't
a good dad

when you were a kid,

but maybe
it's not too late.

I didn't come here
for the business.

I came here for you, son.

[reel spinning]

-Whoa, whoa, whoa.
-You caught a fish.

I got--
I got something.

You caught a fish.

-Oh, this is a big one, Dad.
-Reel it in.

- Reel it-- Like this?
- Reel it in.

Why is it so hard?
Hold on.

Good, good, good.
Reel it in, that's it.

Okay, I'm going to
get the net.

Where you going?

-It's okay--
-No, no, get over here--

You got it.
You can do it.

That's it!
[laughing]

Come on!

[laughing]
Get out of the water!

You want to bring
three extra guys on the boat?

Maybe five.

[chuckles]

You're kidding.

No,

and you'd be helping someone

who served his country
with dignity and honor.

You really think these guys
can help your friend?

Yeah, they may be
the only ones.

You didn't talk to
him yet, did you?

Who?

Paul.

No, no, no, no,

but he seems dead-set
on leaving.

Hey, guys.

What?

I really think you
should reconsider leaving.

I think it's time to go.

It isn't.

I think Bob thinks it is.

He doesn't.

Tell him you don't.

I'll be out
by the end of the week.

Hey.

Hay is for horses,

and cookies are for
friendly inn-keepers

who don't run off
their guests.

Jack,

you and I need to talk.

[sighs]

Look, I know I may
have been out of line,

but what I said
wasn't out of line.

I know.

You know?

But John Comlin is your friend.

Yes, he is,

but I wouldn't want my paper
to go easy on him

just because of that.

You did
the right thing,

and Jeri did the right thing
running the story.

So, why is Jeri
defending her job?

Your story

and that meeting in my office
are unrelated.

Oh.

Sit.

Look, Jeri's handling
of certain staff

has been abrasive
to say the least.

All right.

But I've been
tracking you,

and I like what I've read
of your work,

and I like how the other editors
and staff like working with you,

and... I like you.

Okay.

But you kind of sealed
the deal in my office.

Got it.

I'll, um...
hand in my passcard

and I'll just clean up my--

Jack,

I'm not firing you.

Oh.

I'm firing Jeri.

Sir, that is a mistake.

Okay, I know that
she is gruff,

and she is abrasive, and...

she's good.

And she hired me.

Well, I'm firing her

and I'm officially
offering you her job.

Look, I'm flattered...

But?

I didn't come here
to get Jeri's job.

I know.

I'm here to support her.

She's a friend.

She's also my ex-wife,
actually.

I know that, too.

I've made a lot of money

following my gut
and my instincts,

and those two things
are telling me

she's out, and you're in.

Still...

The job comes with
a lot of perks.

Creative control,

your own staff, a raise,

the prestige of running
a large paper.

It's a great opportunity,

and one that might not
come around again.

Do yourself a favor,

sleep on it

before you give me an answer.

[sighs]

Can I ask you

why you wanted me
to show you around?

I'm curious.

About?

Your sister.

Olivia?

And Jack.

Well, my sister is
pretty straightforward,

you can
ask her anything.

I'd rather ask you.

Okay... sure.

What do you
want to know?

Tell me about
Jack Griffith.

How long do you have?

[laughs] All day.

She un-Maid-of-Honored me.

Ouch.

Sorry.

You have nothing to say?

You went to the dark side.

You're with them now.

I can't help you.

Well, someone better help me.

I want my mom to want me
to be in her wedding.

-You're serious?
-Yes.

I really want to do it.

My heart is in it,
but now I'm not. In it.

Then don't tell her

you want to be in it, show her.

I don't understand.

I do.

Translation, please.

Well, maybe
if your mother thought

that you were taking your
Maid of Honor duties seriously.

Duties?

What is she, the President?

If she doesn't fulfill
her duties,

who will take her place?

First bridesmaid.

First bridesmaid?

Where did you get this from?

Bridal Magazines.

Bridal magazines?

You don't even have a boyfriend.

Okay, but I will someday,

and then I will get engaged,

and then
if my Maid of Honor

can't fulfill her duties
at my wedding,

my first bridesmaid
will take over.

Ah...

Uh, hello?

Daughter shut out of
mother's wedding.

I think it's time
to call in the big guns.

So, you and Paul
are close?

Since we were kids.

You and Olivia?

Um, I try.

But?

She's a total
over-achiever,

always perfect

in everything that she does.

It's hard to live up to,

it's even harder
to relate to,

but we're trying.

Well, she sounds amazing.

Sometimes,

being related to "amazing"

is hard.

Hmm.

Paul has always protected me,

even when I didn't want him to.

Olivia never
needed me that much.

She's always
taken care of herself

and everyone else.

Okay, so no one's perfect.

I mean, everybody's
got skeletons.

No, not Olivia.

Impossible.

Trust me, her closet
is well organized

and skeleton-free.

Like I said,

not the easiest person

for a sibling
to be measured against.

Wow.

Okay, can we, um,

can we stop talking
about my sister?

Done. [laughs]

I know this place
on the water for drinks.

I love drinks,
and I love the water,

so lead the way.

[giggling]

[knock on door]

Come in.

Hi, Olivia.

Maryellen.

I need your help.

Anything.

[¶¶¶]

Right on time.

I like that.

Where's Warren?

This isn't
about Warren.

He's fishing.

Please.

So, what's it about?

This is about you.

Me?

Mm-hmm.

Curious?

Well, I'm here,
aren't I?

Yes, you are.
Have a seat.

Please.

Let's talk.

Paul!

Look, you, uh,

you say you know your way
around carpentry.

I do.

I'm getting
to the place

with this bed I'm building,

where I need
another set of hands.

Me?

No, your sister--

Yes, you.

You want me to stay?

I didn't say that.

-I think you did.
-Don't push it.

You do want me to stay!

I just asked you
not to push,

and yet you start
pushing again.

I'll try to
keep that in check.

Yeah, that
would be nice.

See, uh, we have rules
around here

for long-term
boarders.

Rules?

Mm-hmm.
First rule is...

Jack is with Olivia.

[chuckles]

I bet the second rule is
Olivia is with Jack.

You can park that smile
and those blue eyes, James Dean.

It only works on the ladies.

Noted.

And don't be
using it on a lady

that already has a gentlemen,

and we'll get along just fine.

Okay.

[laughs]

I love you.

Oh...

I know it was
the right thing to do,

because I didn't
like doing it.

[laughing]

What was that
all about?

Progress... I think?

Missed you
at the restaurant.

No, you didn't.

I told you where
I was gonna be,

so that I would know
where you were gonna be.

I wanted to talk to Will alone.

I didn't need a chaperone.

Debatable.

And you don't need
a babysitter.

So...

you're going to stand down?

I don't know if I can do that.

Can you try?

I can try to try.

[laughing]

You should have been a lawyer.

Eh, that's your thing.

Why did you
want to go out with Will?

Siblings are a font
of information.

Sometimes.

I wanted to learn more
about Olivia.

I wanted to see

if she was as perfect
as she seems,

because, maybe,

someday,

the two of you will be
more than friends,

and if that happens,

I want to make sure
she's worthy of you.

She is.

You're not always right
about everything.

I am when it comes to you.

Be careful, big brother.

You're tough, but
that heart of yours?

Not so much.

What's going on?

Hey.

These are some of my buddies
from group at the base.

Oh, man, come on...

Stop.

Stop running away.

I'm--

Running away.

See, the thing is,

every guy on that boat
has run at some time or another.

And running doesn't work.

So what,
you wanna hold hands,

sit around and chant?

We're going to do
what we did over there.

We're going to
help each other,

push through and survive.

Then maybe live your life,
if you're willing.

Are you?

[chuckles]
You don't have to do that.

What?

Hide the magazine.

I was finished.

Mom...

I need you to save the date.

What date? For what?

Your shower.

Maryellen...

It is going to be fabulous.

Olivia and I are co-hosting it.

You don't have to do this,
I told you.

I don't have to,

I want to.

So let me.

And forgive me

for being kind of a pill
about your wedding

before right now.

Yeah?

Yeah.

So...

I am officially
accepting your offer

to be your Maid of Honor,

if you still want me.

Now this is real.

What's that?

Oh, I'm getting married!

[laughing]

[whispering]
Oh, my goodness.

I know, I know,

I smell like fish.

But this time, it is my fish.

[laughing]

¶ Got a big fish... ¶

Buck left
these contracts for you.

Great.

Great?

Yeah. Thank you.

What's wrong with you?

Nothing, I'm fine.

I don't believe this.

What's wrong?

He conned me.

He conned me.

This whole
Father Knows Best routine,

and what does he do?
He double crosses me.

That right there
is Buck Saget.

That's my father.

Father of the year!

Hi.

Hey.

Wow, this is nice.

Yes, it is.

Thanks for
inviting me over.

Thank you for
bringing dinner.

Of course.

Are you okay?

Yeah. Yup.

The owner of the paper

offered me Jeri's job.

Wow.

I didn't see that coming.

Neither did I.

And what did you say?

That I'd think about it.

And?

I'm thinking about it.

Well, whatever you decide,
congratulations.

Do you want to talk about it?

You know what,

I don't want to talk
about the paper or Jeri.

I mean, do you want to talk
about your job?

Not particularly.

I'm not terribly hungry either.

Neither am I.

Whatever will we do
with our time?

Well, we could make a fire.

Ah...

Romantic.

You never know.

Hmm.

I kind of like
where you're going with this.

So do I.

Uh-oh.

I'm not going to
be able to stop now.

Stop what?

I'm afraid
I'm going to have to kiss you.

Stop talking,

kiss me.

Okay.

[door opens]
Hello!

Will!

Hi, Jack.

Hey, Will.

How did you get in?

-I used my key.
-I never gave you a key.

Oh, I had one made,
the last time that I was here.

Lucky, huh?

Huh.

Now that we've established
how you got in my house,

what are you doing
in my house?

-I need a place to stay.
-Stay?

-Justine's room?
-What?

Well, I sold my part
of Mom's house to Warren,

and now
I don't have any place to live.

I'll just go get
my suitcases.

Mom wanted to bring us
closer together

when she gave us this house,

and she did.

Isn't that nice?
