I'm going to finish mine way
before yours pal.

Yeah? Well mine will be
the one that doesn't need fixing
again next week.

Off screen:
You got to find some reason

Dude.

Yes!

No.

What?

Bellport Herald.

Seriously? You just hang up.

Yes! I want to know about Earl's
pacing,

and Helen is just sitting there.

You know, I'm not one to pry
into anyobody's business.

Really?

Selma Franklin told me that

Helen is planning to go live
with her son

and daughter in law in
Minnesota.

Retiring?

Who will write the Viola column?

Who knows?

But me? I am never going to
retire.

I mean, I know print papers are
a dying breed,

but they're going to have to
carry me out of here

in a pine box.

But, everybody loves her advice!
We love that everybody
has problems.

Amen to that, but Earl Haig's
change.

Look around! No Helen, no Viola.

And no Herald.

Okay. I'm not going to beat
around the bush.

As you can see,
our beloved Helen
is leaving us.

And as much as I would love to
continue running her column,

we can't.

Nobody else writes Dear Viola
like Helen, so

until I can break the news of
her departure to our readers,

and, heaven help me,
the syndicates,

if anyone, Bryan, brings the
word of this to anyone,
Peggy, you are fired.

Good luck with that!

Good luck Helen.

Good luck Bellport.

This town is going to go
ballistic without her column.

Dear Viola, I am writing to you
because I don't know how to get
along with my neighbour...

He has always stayed to himself,
until he built a fence that has
crossed over onto my property.

I don't want to cause any
trouble, but what should I do?
Should I leave it alone?

On the Fence.

To get full?

Uh, Good morning Mr. Berchard

Dear On the Fence,

Get off of the fence.

It's not your fence, even if it
is on your property...

Time for you to put your foot
down, draw your property lines,
and

get a new survey done.

I hate to say this, but people
take advantage of people who

don't push back. Even good
neighbours.

So, push back, even if you fall
off that darn fence!

Don't even try to hide that man

Hide what?

How long have we known each
other?

Too long.

Fifteen years?

I know that you read that studid
advice column.

This?

Listen, why don't you just go
down the street and get a

pedicure while you're at it.

When's your wife back from her
mother's?

24 days, 9 hours, and 3 minutes.

Yeah, and you're pathetic.

I'm pathetic?

Good, we all agree.

Dear Viola, I seen to be on edge
all the time.

I'm snapping at my husband, at
my kids.

It's not like me!

I feel like I'm coming
un-glued.

I'm scared and mad, and I don't
know why.

I don't want to be around any of
them, or around anyone for that
matter, including myself.

Please help me, Wits End.

Dear Wits End,

We're all at our wits end truth
be told all the time.

We're just good at distracting
ourselves.

The world and everything in it
bombards us on a daily basis.

Even the people we love piss us
off, we're human.

I'm going to give you some
advice that you've heard a

million times before from
Cosmo to Oprah.

So you might think that I'm just
being lazy or taking short cuts,

but I assure you, I am doing
neither.

I repeat and regurgitate
anything from any source that
works, so,

here it is.

Take five minutes in the
morning for yourself, whether
you close your eyes, and pray,

meditate, walk, knit, doesn't
matter. Five minutes every
morning before the onslaught.

And here it comes, you are no
good to anyone else, unless you
are good to yourself.

Brian: Okay, so your bingo night
is particularly news-worthy
because?

Really? you're giving away a
rubbarb pie as the grand prize.

Hold on!

Who put this on my desk?

Okay, not mind readers!
What is it?

It's a Dear Viola column.

Maybe it's her swan song?

No, no , no! this wasn't Helen.
She never wrote like this.

This has spunk, attitude, you
know?

Well, whoever wrote this gets a
raise, a promotion, the column.

The whole ship and match.

All right, I wrote it.

Anybody else.

Alright, whoever you are, I
can't figure out why you won't
come forward,

but trust me, I will find you.

Renny?

Hi baby! I'm in the kitchen.

What did we say about the
cooking?

Don't remember.

And you can't use your age or
your dementia as a defense.

Did you take your pills?

Yes.

And I do remember, I'm not a
child.

I know you're not Renny, you
took care of mom for ten
years now it's my turn.

Here, you sit and read your
paper. I will finish dinner.

I can't wait to see what poor
soul Viola's put straight today.

You can't tell. It's a secret
but Viola's retiring.

What?

No!

Not having Viola's column to
look forward to everyday

is going to make poeple in this
town, including me, go crazy,

or should I say crazier.

I know! It's too bad Earl
doesn't want to replace her.

Well I don't know how you can
replace Viola.

(Doorbell rings)

Since you won't let me do
anything else around here,

the least I can do is open the
door, and pretend I'm the maid.

Oh, come on in!

How you doing?

I'm good, thank you.

Yourself?

Good, come on through.

Something smells good.

Well, what a nice surprise
Katie!

Inviting Earl for dinner.

Oh no no. I just popped by to
chat a little business with
Katie.

If it's a bad time I could
come back.

Oh no, that's fine.I'll just
leave you two

alone.

Alright.

Nice seeing you!

You too.

You know, it's funny, I
completely forgot that
we have one of those

security cameras in the
office.

I thought it broke a couple of
years ago, but then Jake told me
he fixed the darn thing.

Handy fella, that Jake.

Any who, it occured to me that
whoever dropped that Dear Viola
letter on my desk

would probably be on camera.

And what do you know? There you
were Katie. Plain as day.

Why didn't you just come
forward?

Because, all my life, I wanted
to be a writer, and then my life
just went Kaplooey.

Mom couldn't bake anymore, and
you know, I couldn't keep the
bakery going without her.

The book keeping just took over.

And writing is hard.

I mean to tell you the truth,
I was shocked when you said it

was good I didn't step forward
because I don't know

if I can do it again.

Write another one.

Katie, you're insightful,
honest.

Even funny.

I had no idea you were any of
those things.

Neither did I!

Where did it come from?

I don't know! The words just
came out!

Maybe it's easier being Viola
than me.

Whichever, I'm offering you,
Katie, the job.

Okay.

I'll take the job.

Good.

With a few conditions.

One, I can keep my job as a
book keeper.

Two, I remain annonymous. No one
knows it's me.

The column can still just be
good old Dear Viola.

Agreed.

There you are. Get started.

Oh my goodness!

You still insist on snail mail?

If somebody takes the time to
lick a stamp and an envelope,

they usually have something
important to say.

So, I expect two columns on my
desk first thing in the morning.

I got a hunch you're going to
help me keep a roof over my
kids' heads.

Viola.

Oh!

You can't tell anyone!

And you can't forget that you
can't tell anyone.

Okay?

Whoo!

Look at this!

Don't you cry!

This one has little
flowers on it.

Look at all this! So many people
need our help!

Dear Viola.

Dear Viola, I've tried to grow
tomatos in half shade for a year
now to little success.

Dear Viola, I know that I'm only
twenty two, but it seems like
I'm stuck in this town with my

parents' dreams for me, and I
think I need more.

I don't want to upset or
disrespect them, but I do want
to live my own life.

Dear Viola, I hate my sister.
She's a fat hunk of junk.

Dear Viola,

I feel strange being a grown man
and writing to an advice

column, but I have to get this
out somehow.

My wife was the most beautiful,
loving person I have ever met;

my soul mate.

I know people say we have more
than one, but to me that's a lot
of hooey.

She could find joy in the
smallest things.

She loved music, she loved to
dance, which I never did do
well.

And she loved all of me, even my
short comings.

I lost her five years ago, and
on that day I lost my faith in
God, and humanity.

Everything reminds me of her.
Especially my daughter, because
she is so like her.

I'm scared I'm falling off
the cliff.

I hope you can help me,

Lost Love.

Dear Lost Love,

let me try to understand this.
You lost your wife,

which is aweful and I'm truly
sorry about that,

but you still have a child who
loves and needs you,

and is very much alive and well.

It sounds to me like you're
punishing her for being a part

of your one great love.
Is that right?

Go Viola!

You say you've lost your way.
You only have one way, and

that's to be a father to your
daughter.

Don't forget, you had a great
love, you were lucky!

Do you know how many people
never do?

So unless you're seriously
depressed, and in that case,

your time is better spent
seeing a therapist

instead of writing to me, it's
time for you to take a risk

and start living again.

If not for you, than for your
late wife, who would want you to

stop whining and be a father to
your daughter.

Alright now! Viola is on fire.

Hey, did you read the new Viola?

I don't know whether you noticed
or not,

but I don't have time for
leisure activities.

I just wonder how Earl found a
new Viola so fast.

I thought she was done but, this
new Viola,

she is fierce!

Did you read the reality check
she gave Lost Love?

Like I said, some of us
have jobs.

Thank God flipping articles from
decorating magazines is so vital

to the Herald's success.

What can I say? It's a talent.

Okay, here.

(Car beeping)

Bye!

See you tomorrow.

Hey Dad!

Hey Muffin

How was tutoring?

Ok.

Yeah?

Come here.

Did you pick up the paper today?

I did, why?

Cause Mrs. Applebee passed it
to Mrs. Gritsbe,

and they were sneak reading it
today during science class.

She was supposed to be listening
to our reports on hydroponic
vegetables.

So it was passed around all day.

Really? Wow.

There's something...

Look here it is

Don't you have more important
things to do like,

oh, I don't know... homework?

You're no fun!

I am fun.

No!

I mean who's going to play zero
gravity with you later, huh?

Ummm, you

That's right. Cause I'm fun.

Because you're awesome.

Ok grab your things, let's get
washed up for dinner.

No fun!

So who do we think
"Lost Love" is?

A single guy with a kid... Wife
died 5 years ago...

You really think he's telling
the truth?

I bet he made all that up, just
to throw us off his trail.

Thanks.

See ya!

I bet he's divorced, no kids,
maybe he's a she.

You are evil.

It's just like a soap!

No, this is way better. Ok first
of all, it's real,

and this new Viola,
whoever she is,

she is out to shake us all up.

A new Viola?

There's somebody new writing her
column?

I just though someone
spiked her tea.

No. No. I don't mean new, new...

I'm just saying that writing to
Lost Love is bringing out a new
side of her.

They were all trying to figure
out who Lost Love is,

but I'm dying to know about this
new Viola.

Well, with working that extra
day styling the bridal party,

your paycheque's looking pretty
good!

Here you go! Don't go spending
it all in one place.

Thanks Katie,
you're good people.

You know, all you do is work
and take care of Renny Jasper.

You never go out or socialize.

Why don't you come to the rope
loft with us on Satruday,

great DJ and man do we kick up
our heels.

I'm not much of a dancer

Lost Love says he can't dance
either.

What is it with you people!

You do know who Lost Love is,
don't you?

Is she the one writing letters
to Viola?

Please, lost love is a man,
through and through.

Check him out.

( Music )

Dear Viola, while I appreciate
the fact that you answered my
letter,

I have to tell you that you are
way out of line.

I am worthy of great love, and
unless you have a kid,

I'd really prefer it if you
didn't suggest that I'm a bad
father.

I'm out here, trying to do my
very best every day, so tough
love?

Not really helpful.

Dear Lost Love. Tough love?
Really?

I don't think so.

Good morning.

Good morning Russ.

I told you I was sorry about
your wife and belive me, I
understand loss.

But if you want me to pick up a
violin and play with you,

It's not going to happen.

I have no doubt you're a good
father.

Maybe even a good man.

But the whoa is me? Not so
attractive.

Russ you alright?

Sounds like you need to hit your
live life again button.

Take a risk

and love again.

You have nothing to lose,
because you've lost everything
already.

Dear Viola, Sounds like you're
calling me a coward.

Do you have any idea what's it's
like to have lost a loved one?

And if you do, you tell me the
proper amount of time to mourn.

Daddy?

Yeah?

What are you writing?

A letter.

To grandma?

Yeah.

I love writing letters to
grandma.

I guess it's easy for you to sit
behind a computer

and tell other people how to
live their lives.

How great is yours?

Do you even have a life?

Or do you just write about other
people and judge them?

Here's a challenge. Anonymity is
easy, and you've done it for
years.

So how about you come forward
now, and show your face.

If you have the guts for that,
I guess I'll have to step up and
take a risk too.

Lost Love really put it to you
this time!

To Viola, you mean.

Oh I don't know.

Seems to me like there's a lot
of the Katie I know in Miss
Viola

Now he's giving back as good as
he gets. You gonna take him up
on it?

I have to answers other letters
too, you know.

Who's the coward now?

Dear Lost Love, yes, I do have a
life, but this is not about
me,

and I am not here to judge
yours, or anyone else's for that
matter.

I want to be the gentle push, or
the hard shove for people to
move on and forward.

But dispite my best efforts, you
seem to be quite stubborn.

Yet you continue writing me
letters.

Why?

I think, as angry as it makes
you, you do want my advice,

and just so you know

Whatever you say, I'm not
going to give up on you.

Enjoy your fish, it's beautiful!

Thank you so much.

Have a great day.

So... I hope you don't give up
on yourself either.

Until next time, Viola.

Katie, here are those
spreadsheets you were asking
about.

So Katie, are you beefing up on
your skillset over there?

Peggy, why don't you just mind
your own business?

Really, coming from you,
that's rich.

Dear Viola, I hate to say it, or
agree with you,

but I guess I can be stubborn on
occasion. You're right, I havent

moved forward, and it's time to
stop writing about it.

Hey Katie are you in there?

Did you hear that reading on the
throne can sometimes give you...

(toilet flushing)

You know, I know sneaky.
You don't wear it very well.

I'm sorry, I've got to get these
deposites to the bank.

You're up to something, I wasn't
born yesterday.

I wasn't even born last week.

Even though the reason I keep
writing you is because I feel so
much,

not because I feel so little.

And just so you know Viola,

I do want to love again. I guess
I just haven't met the right
person.

Time for your pills.

Isn't that just beautiful?

The way you two keep writing
eachother,

you'd think you were falling in
love.

Renny.

I like the guy. He's a bit
corny. Not be Jesus corny...

but if he uses words like
"hooey", he reminds me of you.

That's ridiculous.

Well, why are his letters the
only ones that you've answered?

Lots of other folks are
clamoring for Viola to write to
them.

Isn't that what you said?

Management will take it under
advisement.

Mmmhm.

(Church choir singing)

While I draw in, pleading
breath.

When mine eyes shall close in
death

When I'm sure, two worlds are
known

See beyond, thy judgement throw

Rock of ages, Cleft for me

Let me hide myself in thee

Maybe he's Lost Love.

Well who do you think it is?

Oh, man with the glasses, he
has a little girl.

So does he.

Neither of them.

Maybe he's not even from
Bellport.

Maybe it's Earl!

It could be Peggy, it would be
just like her to stir things up.

Or Craig.

His wife did leave 5 years ago,
the timeline fits.

Lead us in the double gour

Safe from ruth and make me gour

Good morning

Slow down munchkin, you're going
to loose a finger

How's it going?

Fine.

Good, keeping busy?

Usual. Accounting, baking.

You?

Yeah, just trying to keep up
with this one.

I do feed her, this isn't
breakfast or anyhting.

Just make sure you save one for
someone else, okay?

Say thank you.

Thank you

You're welcome Meredith.

See ya Katie

Oh um...

For the road.

Oh! Thanks

Dear Lost Love,

I'm glad you haven't given up on
love or on yourself.

Love is an extrodinary thing.

Yes you're right about me... I
might not have a PhD in love,

but, I know one thing.

Our fears and insecurieties are
what derail us.

Hello Katharine

Katie's fine.

Katie, then.

Do you want something Craig?

I uhh, I just wanted to know how
you were finding services at the
bank.

Fine.

Great, great.

I like to see our customers
happy.

Terrific then.

Playing it safe, not stepping
into the unknown,

things will remain exactly the
same.

It's no way to really live.

Maybe it's easier for you to
write than actually do
something,

but I'll leave you with this:

There is pain in staying the
same, and there is pain in
changing.

Pick the one that moves you
forward.

You're pathetic dude!

Thank you.

No, I'm serious.

Look, I know loosing Emily
knocked you out,

but you've been in a slump for a
long time,

and I don't know what to do to
bring you out of it.

So enough's enough. Tonight
we're going to the Rope Loft,

you're going to get drunk, we're
going to play pool,

and you're going to flirt with
some girls.

Now I'm an old married dude, so
I'm going to have to sell my aux
djskdjfh thing through you.

So step it up.

Fine.

Okay?

Okay fine.

Alright.

I told you Russ,
tonight is your night.

Alexis Kan? Nooo. totally not
her type.

No she would not even give me
the time of day in highschool.

I'd say hello to her and then
she would walk by as if I wasn-

Hi Russ

Alexis!

I don't dance.

Well, then. Maybe you can take
me out for dinner.

I already ate.

Full.

Not tonight, silly.

How about Friday?

Okay, yeah.

Yeah Firday it is.

He said he did it... He's taking
me out!

Hey Bryan

Hey Katie

Good morning Katie

Oh, hi uh... Russ

Are you okay?

You don't look so good.

Oh, thanks.

I'm sorry. I didn't mean it that
way.

I hear you were painting the
town red last night!

Yeah... Does this place have
to be so small.

Apparently it does.

I think it's kind of comforting,
everybody looking out for each
other.

Bah, it's a bunch of hooey, it's
annoying.

What did you say?

It's annoying

No, not that

Come on Katie, you know you
can't do a thing in this town
without everybody knowing about
it.

Hooey.

Hmm?

You said hooey.

Yeah, I said it.

It's a bunch of hooey.

Dinner was delicious, thanks.

I'm glad you enjoyed it.

So, do you want to come back for
a nightcap?

Uh

I'd love to, but I can't, I've
got the kid at home.

Hello... look at me.

Oh Alexis it's not you...

You know what Russ, you've got
the whole package. Looks,
charm,

but you got no game.

Renny do you want the mint or
the chamomile?

(plates crash)

Renny?

Stay still, just stay still
okay?

I'm calling 911.

No no no do no such thing, I'm
fine.

Let me help you. What happened?

I should know better than to be
reading while I'm trying to walk
up stairs, that's all.

Are you dizzy, lightheaded?

No no no. I'm not having a
stroke.

You know I had one.

And I know what it feels like.

Okay.

And I need you to stop worrying
about me and start thinking
about yourself!

I will take that under
advisement.

Don't patronize me
Ms. Know It All.

I'm not.

Just because you're a big time
writer now, it don't mean you
can talk to me any way you want.

I knew you in

I know, and I'm not a bit time
writer now, this is Bellport not
Shrinkport.

Yeah yeah yeah.

Well you know it's funny, that I
had to come from there, take
care of your momma...

and now I'm the one being taken
care of.

We're taking care of eachother.

Yeah... well you gave up your
dreams of graduate school

to take care of every other
person in this town including
me.

Oh fooey, I gave up
nothing.

This is what I chose.

And I worry about you.

Stop your worrying about me. I
ain't going nowhere.

until I make sure that you are
going to be okay.

You're my baby.

And also, until we find out who
Mr. Lost Love is.

Now I'm going to bed.

I know who he is.

Who?

I can't tell you.

Confidentiality.

Well whoever he is, I'm going to
figure it out, and I don't need
your help.

If you do know, and he's going
to be in church on Sunday, you
better step up your game.

Here.

Okay, okay.

Sunday, it's on.

(Choir singing)

I have found a friend

Oh, such a friend

He bled, he died to save me

And not alone, the gift of life

But his own self he gave me

I know.

I saw that twinkle in your eyes
when you looked at him.

Mmmhm.

Hey, it's my biggest fan.

Okay, I have to ask. Is there
any way that you can show us how
to make these.

If I show you, I'm going to have
to kill you.

Why?

Oh! No no, I'm just kidding!

It's really not that hard.

How about after dinner tomorrow?

No.

Oh.

When are you free?

Friday

Done.

Yes.

We'll see you.

Dun dun dun!

Well Katie, look at you getting
your nails done.

Got big plans for tonight?

No, no I just figured it was
time.

Oh, it's time.

After we do your nails, let's
see what we can do with your
hair.

Well, I like to keep it simple,
nothing too fancy shmancy.

Fancy shmancy?

Girl you need to relax and let
me hook you up.

Okay.

But just the nails, alright?

Okay.

It's about time, I was about to
send for search and rescue.

Sorry I just stopped off to pick
up a few things.

From Bella Boutique?

What do you think?

What, you don't like it?

Honey, your momma didn't look
good in floral, but she insisted
on them just like you.

Well I thought it was pretty,
it's bright and summery.

He just invited me over to bake
cupcakes.

Baby, I hate to put it to you
like this,

but back in the day before they
built express ways,

you'd be on an interstate road
driving along,

and there'd be this big old sign
that said "Last Chance for Gas"

You know what that meant?

It would be miles and miles
before you got another chance
if you didn't stop and fill up.

Any way to keep your anaolgies
to yourself?

Nope

And there ain't nothing wrong
with a little come and get it,

Just not in a floral pattern!

Just saying.

Hi

Hi.

What's wrong?

Nothing's wrong!

Come on!

Thought you'd have the wrong
address, huh?

I was having my doubts.

You look nice!

Thanks.

My mom used to have flowers on
her dresses too!

Thanks.

You do look nice.

Your nails are different too.

Okay Meredith, why don't we let
Katie settle in.

Before we disect her.

Let's go make some cupcakes.

Let's go make some cupcakes.

This way!

Okay

So our big project last night
was getting together everything
on your list.

Except the apron.

See, you pick!

Oh, they're all so beautiful,I
can't decide.

My mom made them.

Heh.

She must have been quite a
seamstress.

She could do anything!

She must have been quite a
seamstress.

Well, there are lots of things
I can't do, but I can make
cupcakes.

I used to make them with my mom.

Hers were the best, even better
than mine.

Oh, no disrespect to your mom,
but I can't imagine her cupcakes
being...

Uh....

more delicious than yours.

So, what do we do first?

First, I'm going to need a
sous-chef and an assistant.

Who wants to be what?

I'll be a sous-chef!

I guess I'm your assistant.

Now as long as it doesn't
involve any measuring

because I am all thumbs.

Don't worry, you'll be just
fine.

Smack it, there you go!

Nice.

Ok this one goes is, get ready
for the next one.

Why have I been making breakfast
all this time? You should
be making it.

Take the shell out.

Nice, nice, nice!

There we go!

Sweet.

I need a bowl.

Yup.

Yeah, so grab that one.

There.

Okay.

Can I?

Level up. Wait, wait, wait.

Go Daddy!

There you go!

Nice!

Daddy! Daddy!

That's it?

There we go.

Does that look good? Should we
put it in the oven?

So, you should know how long to
cook those?

Set a timer.

Okay.

Sleeves up.

Don't push you luck kid

It's a nice prorch

Yeah, I love this house.

Can I get you a jacket or
something?

Is it too cool?

No, no I'm fine, thank you.

Thanks again, for making time
for Meredith

She's a great kid.

Yeah, I think so

I hope she didn't make you feel
too uncomfortable with all that
talk about her mother

She really misses her

It must be hard for both of you?

It is

But, you know, I'm trying to
move on

Can't live in the past, that's
what they say.

That's what they say

Yup

Are you dating? Going out?

Trying to.

I have been informed that I have
no game.

You?

Trying to.

I'm not even going to
try to be quiet

I know you're up and I see that
you're in there.

I must have dozed off

The cupcakes came out great,
Meredith is smart, Russ is kind

They live in a very nice house,
that's the report.

Now it's time for bed.

Not yet

I want to hear the good stuff

There is no good stuff.

You want me to make up
something?

Were there sparks?

No, their oven is in good
working order

Miss smarty pants you know good
and well what I mean

Renny, stop. Okay?

We're just going to be friends

The way he looked at me tonight
I am just a nice girl who bakes
cupcakes.

It was the dress.

He liked the dress!

Then don't give up?

There's nothing to give up on,
old woman!

Now it's time for bed!

Don't push.

Old woman!

I'll race you up the stairs

Thank you so much, ma'am

Thank you sir, thank you for
your business

Have a great day.

What did she say to Lost Love?

How do you know about Lost Love?

It's your faul man, curiosity
got to me

Is that so?

Yeah, ham it up, ham it up.

Ok here we go

Dear left out and wondering...

Sorry to hear... that your best
friend... intentionally left you
off of her... wedding...

Just cut to the chase. What did
she say to Lost Love?

She didn't seem to write him
this time.

Or maybe he didn't write her
because Lost Love found a girl.

Hello

Hello.

Come on, let's help her out

Hey, how are you?

I don't know why I have so many
bags

No problem, me and my buddy here
can take your bags

from the dock to your door, and
visitors like you qualify for a
discount.

Thanks, but i'm not sure that I
qualify.

I'm not a visitor.

I'm going to move here I think.

Wow, well then you get the
bonus, a free tour of Bellport.

Isn't that right?

Whatever he says.

Look, I'm Clay and this is my
friend-

Russ

I'm Jaimie, nice meeting you
Russ

Could you hold me up for just a
minute, I think there's
something in my shoe.

There.

Now, tell me about this tour.

Well, it's short.

You're kidding me.

But I think you'll like it.

It's a great little town

Dear "Feeling fabulous at
Fourty", it's great to hear that
your cosmetic procedures are
healing,

and in the spirit of healing,
you may want to ask yourself

why you felt the need to change
anyhting about yourself in the
first place

I've gotta tell you Katie,
subscriptions are way up since
you started writing this column.

I don't know what else to
attribute it to.

Thanks Earl, but I think the
town's just a little bored, in
general.

No. It's you. It's your writing.
Yeah.

The way you put things strikes a
chord with people.

I hear good things from the
other papers too.

Subscriptions are up there and
they love the column more than
ever.

Look I know I'm just the editor,
but uh...

Why hasn't Viola written back to
Lost Love lately, hm?

Well, I kind of thought we
needed a little more variety.

Dear Viola should be an equal
opportunity Know-It-All,

and she was being a bit biased.

Alright, fair enough, but I
think everyone's really hooked
on your letters with this guy.

I mean we're all waiting for him
to write back in and tell you
that he's found true love

Everybody wants a happy ending

Well he hasn't written in about
that yet

Well just promise me that when
he does...

you'll print that one, huh?

Sure.

No problem, Earl.

Alright.

Greetings! I'll be right with
you.

Oh no rush, I'm just getting my
sea legs here.

A visitor! Are you staying with
us a while?

Permanently I hope, if I can
find a job.

Then you've come to the right
place.

We do more than hair and nails
here, whatever's broke-

No, nothing's wrong exactly...
but I would love to change my
line of work.

I was a nanny over on Swirl
Island.

Oh and the little feet wore you
out?

No I just want to shake things
up a bit, you know?

I'm Jaimie Estavis

I'm Cindy, this is Katie.

Hi.

So, where do single ladies go to
meet guys around here?

Oh, I don't know

There's not too many options in
this town

The top spot... the Rope Loft

The top guy... ladies... Russ.

Well, I guess I'm here to stay
since I snagged a date with the
hottest guy in town

What's the skinny on him?

Russ?

He's a good guy, he's a hard
worker

and... he's a great father.

How many kids does he have?

Just one, an 8 year old
daughter.

What kinds of things do they
like to do?

I don't know them that well, but
they like to cook

Last year he won the Bellport
BBQ title, it was cute... I
think his daughter made the
sauce

Katie, Hey!

Hi Russ

It's nice to see you, what's
going on?

Did I get the time wrong?

Oh, I guess I'm a little early.
I tend to do that, I'm sorry.

I don't like to keep people
waiting.

Waiting for what? Am I
forgetting something?

Meredith said to be here by 7.

Meredith?

Oh! You're here to baby sit her?

Meredith!

Sorry, I'm playing catch up,
I was expecting Becky,
our regular sitter.

But she could give me another
cooking lesson!

Katie did Meredith call you ask
ask you to baby sit?

Sweetheart, why didn't you check
with me first?

I'm sorry, I should have
confirmed with you

No, it's not your fault

Sweetheart, I'm the dad, you're
the kid

dad gets to call the shots.

Got it?

But I thought you liked Katie

Oh I do!

I'm just sad I'm going to miss
another cooking lesson.

So make sure whatever you cook
up, you save me some

Okay.

And mind Katie

Okay.

And go to bed on time, 7:30
right?

What!

9:30

And uh, I shouldn't be too late.
I've got my cell, you've got the
number?

Come here.

Where are you even going?

Out.

With a new friend.

Have fun, don't worry about us.
Enjoy...

your new friend.

You'll really like this spot,
they've got great seafood.
Sometimes they buy it from me.

So let me guess, everyone here
knows your name and in 5 minutes
they'll know mine?

Yeah if I knew any other place
with food this good...

you might be aonymous for
another second... but...

Well, what fun would that be
when you love attention?

Two.

Thanks

So what's good?

Well like I said, anything from
the sea

But I have to confess I'm a meat
and potatoes guy myself

Just, don't tell anyone.

Me too, I'm so glad you said
that.

I love a good steak, especially
if it's done on the grill

Do you barbecue Russ?

As a matter of fact, I do.

And I'm pretty good.

The secret is in the sauce.

It's got to be the right balance
of hot and tangy

Well I do have some help on that
end, my daughter Meredith is my
partner.

Your daughter?

Yeah.

Lucky you

I was a nanny once for 2 little
girls

I miss them so much

8 years old going on 80

So smart, sometimes I think
she's the parent and I'm the kid

Well, I would love to meet her
one day

I would like that.

(laughing from hallway)

She may be in bed by now

Hey Katie, is Meredith down for
the night?

Sorry, you just missed her!

Oh shoot.

Russ just told me so much about
her, I just wanted to stop off

and meet her

Well, so meet Katie instead.

Katie, this is Jaimie

I know Katie, we met at the
salon.

Oh.

Nice seeing you.

How was, um, dinner?

Dinner was great

I wish I had left some room for
dessert, because this looks
amazing Katie

Chocolate is a weakness

Meredith warned me

She did

It's triple chocolate

Right.

So, Russ, where's this infamous
seaside BBQ you dazzel 'em with?

I'll be right back, thanks again

Meredith and I had a lot of fun
tonight

Yeah? I love hearing that.
Katie, knowing that you were
here with her tonight,

I didn't worry once. All night.

And I was able to relax and
enjoy myself for the first time
in I don't know how long

Well you deserve it

You have to fill up your own
tank sometimes, you know

Yeah, somebody else has been
telling me that

Jaimie:
Hey Russ, come here for a sec

Yeah, go ahead, I'll just let
myself out

Thanks again Katie

(mumbling)

( music )

Hi Craig.

Hi Katie

Oh, the service is still top
notch!

Great, great.

I was thinking that maybe we
should have a drink sometime, or
something?

I'm really not that interesting.

Neither am I, we might be
perfect together

I think we should both aim
higher, then.

But thank you, for asking

( music )

Meredith, lunch is ready

Coming

Guess what

What?

We have company

Meredith, this is my friend
Jaimie

Jaimie, this is my beautiful
daughter Meredith

Hi Meredith, I'm so happy to
meet you, your dad has told me
so much about you

He doesn't talk about anyhting
else, do you honey?

Sweetheart, what can I get you
to drink?

Juice please

Okay

(church choir music)

The gospel train's comin'

I hear it just at hand

I hear the car wheel rumblin'

and rollin' thro' the land

Get on board little children

Get on board

little children

get on board little children

There's room for many more

I hear the train a-comin'

she's comin round the curve

she's loosened all her steam and
breaks

And strainin' ev'ry nerve

Get on board little children

Get on board

little children

get on board little children

there's room for many more.

The fare is cheap and all can go

The rich and poor are there

No second class aboard this
train

No difference in the fare

Get on board little children

get on board

little children

This is my favourite

Hey!

Can I show you something?

Sure, right now?

Yeah

Right this minute?

Yeah.

Come on!

Where are we going?

Inside

Okay.

(gospel music continues)

Get on board little children

get on borad

little children

there's room for many more

Oh get on board

little children

get on board little children

there's room for many more

(door slam)

Oh get on borad

little children

get on board

little children

get on board little children

there's room for many more

Thanks for doing this

No problem

It's ok

Hey

Are you okay?

Yeah

Just not feeling so good

Is it because of Jaimie, because
there's another person around?

I don't know

I want my dad to be happy

but...

she's not very nice to me

Do you want me to talk to your
dad?

No, I'm sure thing will get
better.

( music )

Dear Viola, first of all, let me
say thank you.

You've made me less scared,
you've pushed me, made me see
that I have to try to move on

Because of that, I've met a
beautiful girl and started
dating her,

but I'm a little concerned, I
think my daughter doesn't like
her

Maybe it's a kid thing, or she's
a bit jealous of anyone that
takes me away from her.

I don't know.

Should I stop seeing her,

and wait first for the person
that is right for my daughter,
and then for me?

Lost Love.

( music )

Dear Lost Love, give it a little
time, maybe they will both warm
up to eachother.

Children heal at a much slower
rate than they appear to.

Did Lost Love write in?

Did he write?

Did she stick it to him?

We just have to not rush to our
default setting and jump into
judgement

Everyone deserves a second
chance

Amen sister, amen

How's Alecia's father doing
Clay?

Better, get's out of the
hospital tomorrow.

Thank goodness, she'll be home
soon then.

Oh yeah, 3 days, 23 hours and 18
minutes

Yes, 18 minutes

How's business?

Been working my butt off

Russ is really busy these days.

Excuse me. Now what do we need
to do to get this girl hitched?

Find the right guy?

What about that nice bank
manager?

Craig?

Uhh yeah yeah I think he's a
nice guy.

You hear that Kaite?

What if you found the right guy,
but he's taken?

You mean the right guy like
Russ?

Look, what are you doing
Saturday night?

Nothing, why?

Look Russ and I are celebrating
our partnership being 15 years
old,

so why don't you be my date.

I'm not looking forward to being
a third wheel anyway

So Katie, strut your stuff, huh?

C'mon you can outclass that
Jaimie girl no problem

Mhmm

I don't think so

Look. You gotta fight back

If you want something in this
world then you've gotta go for t

My father used to tell me, that
when people say that they never
got a chance,

it's because they never took a
chance

Amen.

(instrumental music)

Your eyes are going to set my
head on fire

I know how you feel about Russ

And you say that he's not
feeling it back, and it won't
make a difference what Clay has
up his sleeve

Now honey, I think you should at
least try going out with Craig

Sometimes true love doesn't
find us.

Sometimes a good man is good
enough!

I don't want good enough.

I don't want to settle

You may have to

You didn't.

And how well did that turn out?

I thought you liked being
single? And independant.

Not my whole blessed life!

I'm telling you. It's good to
have someone.

I do.

And don't you use me as an
excuse.

I'm not

( music )

(church bell)

Wow, the world must be ending if
you're late.

Zip it.

Hey, what is going on?

It doesn't matter

Of course it matters

I have no life!

I never will

I like a guy who doesn't like me

Russ?

How did you know?

I know everything

Clay's wife is out of town, and
he wants me to go as his date on
Saturday with Jaimie and Russ

so I can "outclass" her

Strut my stuff.

Stand out like a sore thumb.

Katie.

You are fantasitc, okay

And and anyone would be lucky to
have somebody as loyal and
loving and smart as you are

The feeling is mututal

Okay. We are going to spend
saturday together

and make over whatever doubts
that you have

You wouldn't belive by the time
I'm done, because if you can do
it, we all can.

( music )

Yep. I love it.

This is it.

You look good

You did a good job

Yes indeed

Don't worry, nothing too fancy
shmancy.

It's been so long since I've
been by the water

I love the salty air

Why are we here?

Don't we have a reservation
somewhere?

We got a surprise.

Right this way ladies

Clay and I thought we'd
celebrate down here

so we cooked up something
special for you ladies.

Russ if you had told me we were
coming here I woulnd't have worn
these heels

Kick em off!

And I wouldn't have dressed for
fine dining.

I'm sure we can find a sweater
on borad for you

Uhhh Katie, you look quite
beautiful!

Russ, don't you think so?

Yeah, you do.

Clay does your wife know that
you're bringing a date tonight?

Uh yeah, it was her idea.

Are we taking your boat out?

Yes

dinner included, and on the menu
is the catch of the day

One second

Here she is, all dolled up for
her fiftenth anniversary

Boy, I'm really not dressed
for this.

Do we have to go out there?

Oh it's going to be a great
night

I get kind of seasick

You've never mentioned it before

It just never came up

So we keep it tied up

The boat looks beautiful, and
I'm sure the food will be
perfect

This is where Russ and I first
met

Just got to town with too many
bags

and he rushed to my rescue

Right Russ?

Nah. We are not only fisherman
ladies, we are gentleman too.

Let's eat, please.

How do you get the meat out of
the claw like that?

Easy. Lobster is my favourite
and this is as good as it gets

Jaimie, how are you doing there?

Okay.

Do you want another ear of corn?

Do you all eat anything with a
fork?

Well, how are you going to enjoy
any of my award winngin BBQ if
you're afraid to get your hands
dirty?

Look at Katie, she's all messy
and it doesn't seem to
bother her!

What a gorgeous night

Yeah it's beautiful

You know... I used to see you
around town and never thought
you were as cool as you are.

Well I don't know that I'm cool

No it's just something about you
lately, I mean. Something
different.

I did something different with
my hair.

No, it's more than that

You just. Seem more fun.

No I didn't mean to say that,
it's not like you weren't bef-
you know what,

I'm just going to take that
back.

You're right, something has
happened to me.

I had a great time tonight

And the food was amazing

Hey it was out pleasure

Thank you, Clay

It was worth a shot

Hey Katie, don't give up.

Okay, shall we?

You're home already?

I thought Clay might have got
that hussie out the way

and you wouldn't get home until
tomorrow morning

That's what I was hoping anyway?

Russ took all my good advice and
finally found someone.

I'm happy for him.

No you're not.

You can lie to yourself, but not
to me

It just doesn't seem like him.

Jaimie's so transparent, I mean
she's gorgeous, but...

she's not for him

Listen, for all their bravato,
god bless 'em, are little boys.

They think with their -

Well, let's just say they don't
think half the time.

And they're easily distracted

Sometimes we have to set them
straight

You should have seen what she
was wearing

I mean she's so sexy, and I'm
so-

You're so beautiful

Just beautiful

You and Clay think I should push
myself between them

But I can't.

I want Russ to want me.

To see me.

Really see me

I don't think he can see past
all that blonde.

And those butterfly eyelashes

Good morning sleepy head

Hi dad

Were you home late last night?

Uh, not too late.

Becky was asleep on the couch

She had left the TV on, I
thought it would have woken
you up

Guess what munchkin, we've got
pancakes ready to go

Were you out with Jaimie last
night?

Yeah.

And I put some apples in them

Just the way you like them

Thanks dad!

Was Katie keeping uncle Clay
company?

Did she have a good time?

I don't know you'd have
to ask her

You're doing a good job mixing

You're doing it just the way
Katie taught you

Well, look at us, old pro's.

When you're done, can I flip
them?

Sure you can

(doorbell)

I'll get it

Good morning sweetheart

Hey!

I brought you and your dad some
food for breakfast

Uh thanks, but as you can see,
we're making pancakes

Oh. You don't want to eat
pancakes Meredith, they'll make
you fat.

We always have pancakes on
sundays.

Yeah.

Meredith, maybe Jaimie would
like to help us

No, it's okay, I have on my best
Sunday dress

Well, uh.

Why don't you put this on?

You don't want me looking like
an old house wife do you?

More coffee?

Sure.

Well don't you look handsome
this morning?

You tend to these, I'll make the
coffee

Hey Meredith, pancakes are up

Meredith

Sweetheart?

Sorry Jaimie stopped by
unannounced

Meredith!

Hey Meredith?

She's not in her room

I can't find her anywhere

Your pancakes are getting cold

You didn't hear her go outside
did ya?

No.

Does she ever go out on her own?

Jaimie she's 8 years old.

Of course she is

We should go look for her then

I'll go. You stay in case she
turns up

Don't worry. She couldn't have
gone far

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

Officially we can't file a
missing person report for
24 hours

You know that.

Dave I've been looking for her
for hours

You know her, this isn't
something she'd do!

Ok, I'll post and Amber Alert

We've got her description, is
there anyhting else you can
tell us?

You said she was making
pancakes, and then she just left
the room?

Was there a noise? The door? No
Jaimie had just gotten here.

What was Meredith's mental
state?

What do you mean?

Um, she seemed perfectly
fine to me?

Well she couldn't have gone far.

Look Russ, most of the time when
these calls come in, the kids
just took off on a whim

They're at a friends house, they
went out with their bike, and
she'll come home

Thanks.

You're welcome

I called all the names you
gave me

Everyone said they're going to
keep an eye out

The guys just went down to the
school to start searching, just
take a break okay, I'll take it
for now.

Honey I think they're right,
she'll turn up.

Come inside

No.

Jaimie, she's my kid.

Well you need to eat something

Keep your strength up

Hey, I just heard.

I wonder what happened, Meredith
wouldn't just wonder off like
that.

I know, thank god somebody else
knows that.

Was the front door unlocked? I
mean, could someone have come
in?

No way, I mean Jaimie had just
gotten here, we were making
breakfast

Russ, do you know how Meredith
feels about Jaimie?

I do, and I mean we've been
trying to work it out and
Jaimie's been trying too

Okay

Well let's go look for her

It'll be dark soon

I'm a wreck, I don't know what
else to do...

Clay and the guys have been
searching everywhere

What area did they cover?

Beaches, harbour, school yeards,
parks

Russ, Russ. Pull over.
Just pull over.

Sorry.

I don't know what I'll do if I
loose her

You won't

We'll find her.

When I lost her mom, I didn't
think I'd ever be able to put
the pieces of me back together
again

I was just beginning to

When you met Jaimie?

I'd forgotten what it felt like
to be touched

I'm sorry, I didn't

Why isn't she out here with me
looking for her, huh?

I'm glad you're here.

Turn around, I have an idea.

[Music]

If you cannot sing like angels

And if you cannot breathe like
Paul

You can tell the love of Jesus

[Music]

Meredith!

Meredith?

I thought she wanted to talk to
her mother

I used to bring her here

Meredith?

Daddy?

Come here!

Oh god.

You scared me

She didn't want to let me go

I'm sure the feeling is mutual

Yeah.

I found this, It's for you.

Hey, I don't know what to say
except thank you

And I've already said that

You don't have to thank me...

That's what friends are for

Listen um, I'm going to head
home, and I'll just make some
calls on the way

and let everyone know she's
home safe

Good night Katie

Darling. Call me as soon as you
get back

Hope you found Meredith!

I'll search with you tomorrow,
but I just had to get some sleep

Hi

I was just going to put this in
the mail box. I write her.

Viola, I'm that guy. That dope
that's just sort of hooked on
her advice

and couldn't make a move without
her what to do?

Lost Love.

I know.

I guess I wasn't fooling anyone

No.

As soon as I got something going
on, I have to write her

I think it's kind of charming

Would you read it?

Sure.

Out loud.

Dear Viola,

I think this is going to be my
last letter to you.

I almost made the last
mistake of my life

Almost loosing my daughter
made me realize the woman I was
spending more and more time with

Couldn't have been more wrong

And the woman I've been
searching for

was standing right
in front of me

You're that woman

You don't know what you're
talking about

No for the first time in a long
time I do, and it's crazy
isn't it?

Do you want to hear
something crazier?

Okay.

I'm Viola

Of course you are

Everyone will see.

Who cares!

I think this town has a lot to
learn about Katie Miley

Hi!
