Bert? Bert?

Bert? Bert?

What?

What is this? It's your Norwegian flag. There is not a chance in hell I

requested this. No, it's on the house. Get it? Because it's on the house?

I'm just kidding. You'll be charged for it. No, but everybody's getting one.

Why? Have we been ceded to Norway?

Ah, no time to fight. I've got a lot of flags to deliver.

Morning, Dr. Beck.

Now I can add Norwegian to the list of accents that I can do for my Juilliard

callback. Assuming I get the callback, which of course I will. What other

accents can you do?

Please, let's not get her started.

Really?

She's just adding an A to the end of words.

How about performing your role as administrative

assistant? How about that?

Bless his little heart.

I filled his water bowl. Dogs need to hydrate after a walk. That's not his

bowl. That's my cereal bowl.

My bad.

I wanted to ask if you'd come to my Norway presentation at school this

afternoon.

My mom has to work, and my dad lives in New Hampshire.

Oh, this afternoon.

I wish I could, but I don't think so. I'm sorry.

Louisa just called and asked if you could come to Legion Hall. She said it's

emergency. Louisa? Yeah.

Sorry, Peter.

What's wrong? What's the emergency?

It's not a medical emergency. It's a town emergency.

We are obviously still reeling from the news that our beloved town elder and

fellow council member Agnes Kloof jumped off a cliff, but we'd rather not talk

about it. So why are we talking about it?

Because not only are the optics less than ideal, we've yet to name a

for the town council and the Norwegians come today. What is up with the

Norwegians? Haven't you heard?

We're getting a sister city. Geneva and Franklin have been trying to make this

happen for a decade.

Portland, Maine has five sister cities. Five.

Yeah, I heard. Meanwhile, Port Wen has been sitting on the city -seeking cities

list for years.

And we finally got interest from a small coastal town in Norway.

And the Norwegian delegation is arriving today to visit and to sign an official

sister city agreement.

That's ridiculous.

Why would they fly all the way over here for something strictly ceremonial? It's

a cultural exchange, and it will be so great for Port Wen. Pen pals for the

students. And a sharing of traditions and best practices. I mean, everyone is

thrilled. Yes, everyone. And although our fellow council member, Glendon, was

strongly against the idea, the three of us, we overruled him and voted that you

should take over, Agnes, the seat in the town council. What? No.

No. It's temporary. And the Portland Charter says that we need an uneven

and we need someone soon because Glendon is already at the airport picking up

the Norwegians. But why me?

Oh, we need someone impressive and accomplished. And we knew you'd be in a

As president of the Port Wen Town Council, I'd like to welcome Sigrid

Johansson from...

How do you say it?

Fjords?

Fjordhaven. Fjordhaven. J is like a Y, so why is there a J?

He loves this joke.

Our town is very small, but very beautiful.

Your cabin is the port van of Norway. I hope they're not expecting an uptick in

tourism. We are thrilled and honored that the two of you came all this way.

Actually, the three of us. Should you even be here?

I could ask you the same thing. I mean, traveling.

Oh, this is our fourth child, so not my number one horse show.

Not your first rodeo.

And now it's my profound pleasure to represent Port Wynn in signing

our official sister city agreement with Fjord Haven.

Chef Mark, could you take some pictures for me on my phone?

Mark? Yes, welcome. What? I was asking if you could take some pictures for me.

Yeah, of course. You got it.

Okay, everybody.

On three, one.

That's nice.

Here you go, buddy.

Enjoy kanalbøla. This is traditional Norwegian pastry from the best bakery in

Fjordhaven. It's the only bakery in Fjordhaven, but they are delicious, so

sure to try one. You don't have to tell me twice.

Velkommen.

I'm Elaine.

I work with our Dr. Best.

Pleasant to meet you, Elaine.

Dr. Best, it is an honor. We have heard much about you.

Yes. The famous surgeon who he roguely stepped in when Port Ben lost his

You're a legend.

I think that's overstating it a bit. Yeah, most people here don't like him

much.

Oh, hello.

We'd love to see your practice. Oh, definitely.

It is in your house, yeah? Mm -hmm. Oh, so cute.

Maybe we can gift you a piece of equipment you need. Oh, an espresso

be nice. No, no, something much more than that.

A machine for the x -rays or a...

New EKG.

I have all the equipment I need. Thank you.

There are some nicer people over here than me, too. Let's go do that.

Aren't they great?

Not really.

They seem over the top.

Why are they trying so hard?

As a temporary town council member, maybe you could try harder at being less

negative.

Hi.

Oh, sorry, sorry, sorry.

Is everything okay between us? I mean, I know we haven't talked since... Yeah,

we're cool. All good.

Really? Oh, okay. I'm glad.

Can you try one of the whole level of breads? This is my 31, but I'm going to

dip this one in coffee.

How good does that sound? Am I right?

Maybe you should swallow first. There you go.

There you go.

I'm fine. I'm fine. You got him? Yeah, I'm all right. I'm all right. I'm all

right.

You okay?

Just tired. I haven't been sleeping well.

Mark, have you put on weight?

Yeah, a few pounds. Why? When was the last time you went to the gym?

I'm just saying, between the weight gain and the insomnia, maybe it's time for a

checkup. Fine.

Based on my friend.

Or my councilman.

Stupid sash.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Stop!

Am I seeing you tonight?

You think that I would miss the first ever lobster roll at the Red Carpet for

the Norwegian's dinner? Uh -uh.

So they're staying at the Salty Breeze, and they're, uh, they're gorgeois.

Both of them. Like Nordic gods.

Like, do we serve them dinner, or do we just lay food at their feet?

Well, these lobsters are so fresh, their families don't even know they're

missing yet. That's dark.

I love it.

See you tonight.

Okay.

Drive careful with those bugs. Yeah, let me find them hot water and garlic

butter.

Doc, I need to talk to you privately.

That's normally how it works with doctors.

What seems to be the problem?

I, well, I'm not sure how to say this. It will sound insane.

I assure you I've heard it all before.

Okay.

The thing is, I haven't had a bowel movement in five days.

You're constipated.

Yes.

Totally normal. It's nothing to be embarrassed about.

It's likely due to a lack of dietary fibers, fluid.

No. Exercise. No. I know it's causing it.

I'm afraid to go.

Because five days ago, I pooped a little man.

I don't understand.

You pooped on a little man?

No. Your stool was shaped like a little man? No. There was a little man in my

poop. And I panicked and I flushed him down the toilet. Okay, just take it

okay? I think you had a vivid dream. That's a dream so intense and lifelike

you wake up and you think it's real. Your brain even treats it like a memory.

No, it was the middle of the day. And tonight is our big dinner for the

Norwegians. This isn't a good time for me to be cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs. Greg,

are you on any new medication that could cause you to hallucinate? It wasn't a

hallucination either.

It happened.

I pooped a little man.

Did the little man say anything?

It wasn't a real man.

It doesn't matter what you saw or think you saw, okay? First and foremost, we

need to take care of this constipation. Okay.

That is a prescription for laxatives in case the over -the -counters don't work.

Okay. And don't tell anyone about the... Again, that's normally how it works

with doctors.

Thank you, Mallory. Okay, and lastly, but not leastly, we have Peter Kronk.

Oh, nap time.

For my project, I whittled white pine into a miniature replica of a Viking

because... Because pine is robust.

Peanuts? More commonly known as eastern white pine is Maine state tree. So this

ship represents the blending of our cultures.

Please take this gift as a reminder that you have a friend across the ocean in

Portland. So beautiful.

Thank you. Thank you, Taylor. And this concludes our presentation for our

friends from Fjordhavn.

Fjordhavn. Fjordhavn. Fjordhavn.

Fjordhavn.

How can a jewel of a school like this be closing?

This is a tragedy.

I know. Don't start. You're going to make me cry. Your town, your children.

It burns my heart. I am too moved.

Poor Sigrid. She feels too much.

Oh, children.

Don't you see?

They care about this town as much as we do.

What, have they been here three hours?

I thought Scandinavian people were supposed to be stoic.

Don't you ever get tired of being like that?

Like what?

Too distrustful.

I don't know. I guess it's just the way I am.

Well, it's never too late to change.

a little caught on her head, but don't worry.

I cleaned her up for you.

I don't have any idea what she just said to you, but this thing hit me in the

back of my head.

Hard enough to break in half?

Oh, no, that happened after I jumped up and down on it, but it broke my skin.

It's left a goose egg the size of Bar Harbor.

Just put cold compress on it.

Leave it there.

Damn machine, not going to take me down.

Oh, by the way, you going to the Legion Hall tonight for the Sister City dinner?

Haven't we seen enough of those people?

I'm serious.

I don't like them. I don't trust them.

Why did they even choose Fort Wayne?

Because it's a beautiful place with warm and caring people save one cynical,

misanthropic doctor.

You really think I'm that negative?

You're horrible.

Good news is it's never too late to change or to try.

So I've heard.

Partners.

There's a new sheriff in town.

Truth is, he ain't new. It is Mark, but he's wanting to talk to Sarah.

Well, send him in. I'm sorry, is he your next patient?

Hi, Sarah. I got your message. Let's get down your statement.

Here's my statement.

Whoever you were that was flying that damn toy, you're gonna be lobster bait

unless you come to me and apologize for almost killing me, you stupid moron.

I meant more like what time did it happen?

Oh, it was about noon.

Noon? Bastards. Broad daylight.

Any idea who was operating this thing? If I did, they'd be here seeking medical

attention. D -S -E -N.

I think that's just part of the word.

Right at the break. I'm sorry. Who made you Watson?

And how are you feeling, Mark? How do you think I'm feeling? We have visitors

from Norway, one of the safest countries in the world, and I can't even protect

our citizens from illegal drones.

How does that make me look?

Mark, did you just lose your balance just gesturing? No, I don't know what

happened.

Have you been feeling dizzy lately?

Yes, that's what happened this morning.

You know what? I have a new theory.

No, not that.

You might have vertigo.

It would line up with your symptoms. We should do a quick Romberg test. They

told you. I haven't had anything to drink. Yes, but it can also be used to

vertigo. Let's go. Feet together. I know how to do it.

Are you swaying, Mark?

So it could be vertigo. You should stay here for more diagnostics, and we could

do a Dix -Hall -Pike maneuver to try to reset the semicircular canal. The

semicircular canals can wait. It's chaos out there, and I'm the thin blue line.

Not as thin as I used to be. Thank you so much for reminding me of that. But

right now, more than ever, poor Wen needs its sheriff.

And I'm the sheriff.

Okay.

Your blood pressure is normal.

The unexplained weight gain is a little concerning.

It's not unexplained. I've been super hungry lately.

Okay. Increased appetite.

And you said fatigue?

Uh -huh. Still on antibiotics for the impalement?

I took the last of them this morning.

Have you been drinking well on them? Of course not. I know better than that.

Okay. Well, everything looks fairly normal.

But with your consolation of symptoms, I'd still like to rule out

hyperthyroidism, insulin imbalance, and anemia. We'll have Elaine do a blood

draw, and I'll call you when we get the lab results back.

But not for any other reason.

Don't call just to shoot the you -know -what, because those days are over.

Irritability. Irritability.

What is it?

Martin. Oh. Hi.

Hi. Yeah.

Lisa, come in.

I'll just be a minute.

You see, the thing is, as a temporary town council member, you are supposed to

go to the lobster roll out the red carpet tonight, and I imagine there's

you'd like to do less, and to make it even more exciting, Geneva wants us all

sweaters, and this one is yours.

Yeah, okay.

I'll tell her that you've just had too much work to do. Okay.

Actually, you know, I've been meaning to tell you.

Yes?

The other night when I came to the Salty Breeze to talk about the... Yeah,

the... That, and you said that you wanted... Yeah?

Yeah, what... Right, well, if you are still serious about wanting a child...

Yes?

I, um... What?

I know a specialist that I think you'd want to talk to.

Oh.

A specialist?

Yeah. Your hemochromatosis and the iron overload can affect fertility.

Oh. That, coupled with your age, hey. Yeah.

What you're saying is I'd plan this really well.

You know a specialist?

Fertility. One of the best. But she's in Boston. Oh, well, I'm happy to go to

Boston to see...

One of the best.

Great, okay. Well, I'll email you her contact information.

Well, thanks. Thanks.

Yeah.

Louisa.

Yeah, Martin?

When you and Mark were dating, did he ever resort to drinking or drugs when he

was feeling stressed or depressed?

Never, you know.

Although, honestly, I can't remember Mark ever being stressed or depressed.

was always so positive and happy.

It must have been pleasant being with someone who's so happy all the time.

It was, actually.

Oh, sorry.

Doc, I need to see you right away about the event tonight.

That's going to be great.

The lack that it worked.

But it happened again.

I pooped another little man.

You've got to be kidding me.

Is this how it starts? First you lose your keys, and then you have trouble

remembering names, and then you start hallucinating little men in your poop?

Red, I know you're in there.

Are you okay?

Yes, of course. Why wouldn't I be?

You went pale and rushed out, and now you're in a doctor's office, and you

let me in.

I followed you. I'm sorry, baby, but you've been acting very strange. Is

something you're not telling me? I can't say it aloud.

You have to tell him.

Whatever it is, we'll get through it together.

Tell it to me straight, Doc.

Greg thinks he's pooping, little man.

What?

It happened twice, and I'm not imagining it. Is it possible that you ingested...

Toy soldier, or I... No.

I keep a food journal. I think I would remember writing toy soldier. And they

aren't dressed like soldiers.

How many little men have you pooped? Two.

One five days ago, and another one today.

I know.

It sounds crazy.

But I can see their faces.

Their little eyes staring up at me. And Georgie.

I feel like I know them.

Wait a minute.

Were these two little men wearing tuxedos?

Greg, that's nasty.

Greg,

how could you? I didn't. I wouldn't. I forgot we even had that in our freezer.

What was it?

Top tier of our wedding cake.

We were supposed to eat it together on our first anniversary. Which we never

because, well, you forgot about it, too. But I didn't eat it without you,

including the grooms. There has to be another explanation. I have absolutely

memory of any of this.

You could be sleep eating.

Is that really a thing?

It is a thing, and it can be dangerous.

People in a sleep state sometimes use sharp utensils or eat non -food items.

Baby.

There have been crumbs in the bed. I've been meaning to ask.

That is so gross and embarrassing.

How could I get from our bedroom all the way downstairs, eat not just the cake,

but the cake toppers, get back to bed and not remember any of it? No, you

set up a camera to see if that's what's really happening. Oh, sure.

Might as well make the humiliation complete.

I didn't even know you guys were married. Hey, no one did. But the cat's

the bag.

Hey, we didn't want to make a fuss.

So he went to a justice of the peace five years ago. But George, you still

wanted to make a big, beautiful wedding cake, even if it was just the two of us.

Was it still delicious five years later?

Innocent until proven guilty.

The proof is in the pooping.

What would you say is the secret

to your relationship?

In the end, George is just really good company.

Greg, too.

He always puts a smile on my face.

And he's cute.

I'll leave you to it.

And I said, were the little men wearing tuxedos?

So, in addition to eating the top tier of our wedding cake that had been in our

freezer for five years, he was also eating at the cake toppers.

Allegedly. We haven't seen proof.

You got married five years ago and didn't tell anyone? We didn't want to

anyone uncomfortable.

Uncomfortable? By your wedding? It can be a touchy subject for people, and you

never know.

You two are the bedrock of this town.

I mean, every event, every silly ritual, you are the first to jump in. I mean,

look at you. You look ridiculous.

You're wrong. How could you worry about not being accepted? We knew it would

probably be fine, but...

Why risk it?

It's time for big dance.

I heard you have all been practicing.

For those of you who haven't, it is as easy as one slice of pie.

We will be doing the real from Fjordhavn. The real is a traditional

folk dance with three parts.

Clapping. Hopping.

I'm galloping.

You've lost me at hopping.

I heard

you are responsible for the delicious lobster we ate.

Did you really catch them on your own?

Oh, thanks.

It wasn't much. Just three 16 -hour lobstering days.

I love a hardworking woman. In Norway, we are also built strong.

We fish until we are nicey. Oh, well, it's such an honor to meet you.

She says that to everyone.

What's wrong with you? I don't know. I just don't trust them.

Call it instinct.

Next time we have visitors, how about we just ask them to spit in our eye and

kick us in the shins? If that will make you happy, huh? Think about it.

You do realize that your tenure on the council is...

Temporary? I can assure you, the only person who wants me off this town

more than you is me.

I'm taking the early train to Boston in the morning to talk to Dr. Montgomery.

What did you say to get me in so quickly? Nothing.

Oh, well, thank you.

How much have you had to drink tonight? Just one sip of Aquavit, but they try

our lobster rolls, we try their Aquavit, it's a cultural exchange.

I can smell the alcohol in your breath. What, so now you're calling me a liar?

I'm just concerned.

Why don't you just have some water, okay? Be careful, and let's have

drive you home. For the last time, I'm fine, okay?

Just... just...

I totally agree.

I think it's going great. I believe we have them eating out of the middle of

heads. Is this how you say it?

Are you okay?

Take a breathalyzer right now. What's going on? You could have killed us.

Whoa, I am really drunk.

I mean, according to this, but that can't be right.

What does it say? 0 .16, 0 .08 is legally drunk.

But I just had that one sip of Aquavit. I even had a full belly. I had three

lobster rolls and a bunch of those Norwegian loveless, the cannibalists.

Norwegian pastries I had, I'm telling the truth, I'm not drunk.

Which is exactly what drunk people say when I stop them.

They deny and argue and beg.

And I still have to write them up.

Take my badge.

Take my keys.

Take me.

Mark, I really don't think this is necessary.

The law is the law.

Even though I'm not drunk, you have to believe me, Doc. I want to, but you just

failed a breathalyzer test. You reek of alcohol. You nearly ran us over.

Mark, if you've been drinking, you can tell me.

Maybe I'm drinking so much that I can't even remember I've been drinking. I've

had a really rough couple of months, you know, like the broken engagement, the

impale, man, the chlamydia.

And worst of all, my best bro betrayed me.

Oh, come on. The impalement has to come first.

Here, buddy.

Take these.

My bad.

Bad throw.

Add it to the list.

Just let me out in the morning when I've had an opportunity to sleep this off

and think about what I've done. Mark, this is ridiculous. Just let me drive

home. No, man. No can do. I sleep in the slammer.

Don't even think about trying to break me out of here, man.

You know, fine.

But I am going to leave you the keys to the cell. That's fine. Feel free. But

I'm not going to let me use them because this is not my number one hotel.

Before you go.

Will you pass me that box of donuts through the bars?

Thank you for squeezing me into your schedule, Dr. Montgomery. No problem.

actually, it was a problem. I had to move quite a few things around.

Were you really referred by Martin Best?

Yes. Is that surprising? Given how abruptly he left Boston, yeah.

And he's your...

He's a PCP? Yeah.

And a friend, I suppose.

He's a local doctor in Port Wen. I'm sorry, Port what?

Port Wen, Maine.

Ah, where he summered as a kid.

How do you know Martin?

We used to date.

Oh.

It is really good that you came to see me because your fertility window is

closing. But is it like...

Just barely cracked open, or could you still feel a draft?

You're funny.

So as you can see, in the ultrasound, it shows that you have a low antral

follicle count, which suggests diminished ovarian reserve.

Is that normal for women my age?

Diminished, meaning low compared to women your age.

So if your blood tests come back and show that you have high FSH levels, IVF

going to be your best option.

Is your partner open to IVF? I don't have a partner at the moment, which is

I waited apparently longer than I should have. Well, early bird gets the sperm.

I'm kidding.

I'm not kidding.

We'll know more definitively when the results come back.

Now, is Martin, she's still single? I think so.

I think so, yeah.

How did you two meet? Med school.

Oh, you dated in med school?

Yeah, and then for several years after that. Several, okay.

But we were married to our careers, and I suspect he never got over me.

Obviously. Yeah, obviously.

So I should put my pants on now.

All right.

Well, I will call you with the test results. Okay. Okay?

And please, tell Marty I said hi.

I will.

Oh, there he is.

I'm horrified.

I'm a disgusting Neanderthal sleep eater.

How do I stop?

The question is, why did you start?

And why the wedding cake?

Well, we did recently hit the five -year mark.

And I guess I always felt guilty.

We kept our marriage a secret.

George told his parents I never even did that.

Well, that could be it.

Talk therapy could help. You might get some relief now that more people know.

Just make sure you're eating enough at night so that you're not hungry.

And worst comes to worst, some people put a lock on their refrigerator.

I'm sorry, Georgie.

You didn't sign up for this. I'm an embarrassment. Listen, I signed up for

sickness and in health. And baby, this is thick.

Wait, there's more now.

Wait, not you. Oh.

That's Ludwig. What is our Norwegian friend doing in your kitchen at 3 a .m.?

Sleepy at her love company.

Why is he going into the walk -in?

Oh, oh, because he was upset that we didn't have a mini -fridge and he needed

store Sigrid's medication, so I told him he could use ours.

Sigrid told me she doesn't believe in medication. It's another reason not to

like her. How could you not like Siggy? We're obsessed with her. She's like

Scandinavian Barbie, pregnant with Scandinavian Ken's baby.

Are you too serious? I haven't had a moment.

I heard Siggy speak perfect English to Ludwig.

Mm -hmm.

And none of this, it's as simple as...

That was a horrible accent. Okay.

Forget it.

Why are they pretending her English is not so good?

Maybe it's just their way of seeming less intimidating. Because they're

and perfect in every way.

He's coming out now.

I need to see what's in your walk -in.

I don't see any medicine here.

Just a Norwegian yogurt. So Ludwig is a liar, see?

Or he just likes yogurt. Now, are you done slandering our guests? Because we

need to get to work.

This feels like an invasion of privacy.

Your kitchen. Maybe that's her medication.

This is not medicine. These are water samples with dates and times.

Why would he need water samples? He's a science teacher, so he says.

Okay, okay, okay, that's enough.

Stop being a hater. They're lovely people.

Seriously, why do you assume the worst?

Sure, there are bad people, but the world is also full of good, friendly,

generous, big -hearted people.

Why is it so hard for you to believe that? Because, I don't know, that hasn't

been my experience.

Well, it's never too late to change.

Is that a town motto? You're the third person today to...

Sheriff Mark's lap results.

I have to go see Mark. Well, maybe he can help you solve the case of the

suspicious yogurt.

Put it back where it was.

Greg, Greg, Greg, I swear to God.

Mark?

Oh, you, you.

What are you doing here? I'm looking for Mark.

Me too. I heard he slept here last night and I wanted to see if he was okay.

He's not.

I got his lab results from yesterday morning.

His blood alcohol level was already through the roof and he should be in a

hospital with an IV. I have no idea where he is. Okay.

Well, his car is still here. He couldn't have gotten far. He hasn't been

answering his phone, so let me try again.

Sally hasn't heard from him either.

Mark! Is there anywhere else Mark used to go when he was unhappy?

There is one place.

Yeah.

Mark! Finally. Oh, my God. Great.

The last two people I want to see. I was already having a terrible year, and now

I'm an alcoholic, too. Mark, that really doesn't look safe. Please come down.

Please. Nope.

You're going to have to come up.

Okay.

Okay.

Mark, I probably know you better than anyone, and I really, really

don't think that you are an alcoholic.

I agree, Mark.

But you would have had to drink to get your blood alcohol level to where it

You'd be sick right now.

My teletherapist says that I eat my feelings, not drink them.

The only thing that's been strange is how much you've been eating.

I mean, it's been a lot more than usual.

Well, I have a lot of feelings.

Auto brewery syndrome.

Nope, that's not the secret password.

That's what you have.

The sugar, the carbs, plus your antibiotics and the gastric impalement.

Your gut is fermenting yeast. Your stomach has basically created a brewery.

you do have alcohol in your system, which is making you act like a

drunk person because you're producing it, not drinking it.

Boyce, I'm not an alcoholic. I'm just a brewer.

Uh -uh. Did you hear that, Louisa?

Could you both please come down now, please?

You two really care about me.

Yeah, of course we do, Mark.

You climbed a treehouse for me. I did. I did enjoy it.

I love you.

Both of you.

As friends.

Nothing more.

Oh,

that's cool.

No, not cool. It's illegal.

We should get the police.

Wait!

Thank you, Elaine, for not throwing out the trash when I asked you to.

That's no problem in Norwegian.

You think you can pull the footage from this drone?

Maybe. Hi, Dr. Beth.

Guess what?

I ordered Copernicus a water and food bowl with his name on them. They come

week. Great.

Listen, Peter, you can't tell people I'm your father.

Why not?

Because it's not true.

But what if I wish it was true?

Why would you want me as a father?

You're mean, you're nice, and I trust you.

Oh.

You're the one person who doesn't think I should change. You?

No way.

Then you won't be you.

Got it, Doc.

You did?

You cracked into the drone?

Yep, by using the USB cable.

Oh.

Why is he filming the coastline?

Because it's beautiful.

Whoa.

Are they underwater now? That's wild.

It is wild, but why film underwater in Port West, not known for its coral

Unless for the same reason you would test the water.

Property of Habertson Industries.

Al, Google Habertson Industries.

K -H -A -V -A -R -T -S -E -N.

Haverston Industries is one of the largest seafood conglomerates in the

with an annual revenue of approximately $7 .5 billion, specializing in frozen,

canned, and fresh seafood.

It's based in Norway, owned by Bjorn Haverston, whose daughter, Sigrid, is

poised to take over the company in the next five years.

Bet you $20, that's our Sigrid.

Of course she's involved in this.

Involved in what?

It's unclear, but it's not good.

Wait. Doc, this is my sister city.

I already lost one sister. This is very triggering.

Oh.

Where's Ludwig and Sigrid? They went outside thing with Glendale.

What? Why are you about to start trouble?

Don't you be mean to those nice people. Nice people, my ass.

Okay, Martin, give it a rest.

And by the way, Sarah, it was Ludwig who hit you with the drone.

Oh, now I'm mad.

And what are they doing with Glendon anyway?

Oh, so you've been sightseeing, huh?

Around the harbor, perhaps?

Yes.

Sorry, did you want to come with us? No, I want the people of Port Wynn to know

the truth about our guests. What?

That they're lovely people?

No, that Sigurd's family owns a giant seafood conglomerate. And Ludwig here

been surveying our bay. Now, as a temporary town council member, I demand

know the real reason for your visit.

A Nordic ocean -based salmon farm.

One of the largest on the eastern seaboard.

We will present our plans to the town, and we believe you will all be very

with the proposition.

A salmon farm? In our beautiful bay? It might spoil the view, but it will be

very profitable for you all.

There might even be an uptick in tourism.

Children love salmon farms.

But you still want to be our sister city, right? I never wanted to be our

city, did you?

You wanted to be our business partner. That's much more meaningful.

Is it?

I'm having a hard time following all this since I got hit in the head with

drone. And you, you've known about this all along, haven't you, Glenda? I knew

the people of this town would be much more open to meeting a sister city

delegation than a potential investor and developer.

But they're still the same people you've come to know and love, and they're

offering us all a great opportunity.

So Martin has been right about this whole thing the entire time?

You'll see.

This is all for the best.

Well, we'll have to see everything in detail before we sign anything, Glendon.

Geneva already signed.

Huh?

There was an economic development clause in the sister city agreement.

You should always read the full contract.

Oh, you said it was boilerplate.

Well, it was.

For fishing rights.

Thank you. Thank you.
