Original subtitles

Previously, on Cedar Cove...

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

[crowd hooting]

[Cliff]: Grace...

Jack Griffith.

We were more thancolleagues.

We were married.

You know Warren set upthis whole meeting

to deliver my money.

What you don't know

is that he also promisedto deliver

the source of the leak.

Is it possibleto have the same feelings

for two men at once?

[Olivia]: Of course it is!

But, ultimately,

you need to make a choice.

Jack?

[♪]

[phone rings]

♪ I silence all the voicesIn my head ♪

You're going to have totalk to Jack eventually.

Not tonight.

Fair enough.

You want to talk to me about it?

No.

You want me to leave?

No!

Do you want a hug?

Yes.

[♪]

Come here.

It's okay.

[♪]

Are you sorry we startedto paint the living room?

[laughing]

Yes! Yes.

[sighs]

I love you.

I love you, too.

Okay, so... that'sthe Big Dipper, right?

Right.

And that's the extent ofmy knowledge of astronomy.

Oh, no, wait.One more.

That's the North Star, right?

[Luke]: Ooh. Venus.

But it's so bright.

Well, afterthe sun and the moon,

Venus is one ofthe brightest things

in our sky.

The Mayans actually basedtheir entire calendar on it.

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

And beauty.

How do you knowall this star stuff?

Did a lot ofstargazing in Iraq.

You think the starsare bright here,

you should see themin the Syrian Desert.

You know, this is, uh,

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

Just the two of us.

Together.

It's the happiest I've beenin a long time.

[groans]

[grunts]

-[knob rattles]-[banging on door]

[metal clatters]

[rattling]

[door bangs open]

Freeze! FBI!

Easy! Easy! Easy!

[♪]

Good morning, Luke.

I just got here.

Excuse me?

Justine invited mefor breakfast,

and I've only been herefor about 20 minutes.

Okay.

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

[footsteps]

Mom, what have you doneto the living room?

When I came in last night,

I was almost knocked overby the smell of paint.

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

I thought I heard Jack.Is he here?

No.

So, um, what are your planstoday?

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

and look for a job.

A job?

I know you saidyou'd pay for school,

but I think it's time I startpaying for everything else.

Good for you.

But I do think

that you guys should go outand do something fun today.

It's a beautiful day.

Mom, Are you tryingto get rid of us?

No!

It's a beautiful day.

She's right.

Why don't I take you outfor a real breakfast?

A knife-and-forkbreakfast?

Yeah. Why not?

Why not? Thanks, Mom.

[footsteps receding]

[sighs wearily]

Just wanted to let you knowEric is safe.

Was he hurt?

They roughed him upa little.

More shakenthan hurt.

Do you wantto talk to him?

Uh, yes.

Hey, Dad.

[relieved sigh] Eric.

I'm sorry.

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

To both of you.

No. All that mattersis that you're okay.

Do you want me to come there?

No.

I gotta finish talkingto the FBI,

and then Rebecca'sgoing to take me home.

Okay. I love you.

I love you, too, Dad.

You sneaking up on me?

Nope. Just waitingfor you to finish.

Well, I'm finished.

I called you last night.

I was at Olivia's.

Look, this whole thingabout Alex and the rodeo...

I guessI'm just not feeling very good

about where things areright now.

Do you really think I have eyesfor any other woman?

I saw howshe looked at you.

Did you see the wayI looked at her?

There's nothing going onbetween me and Alex.

You two have this bondthat-- that--

We have this in common.

Ranching, horses.

She's an employee.

That's allshe's ever going to be.

If she wants more?

I don't want more!

What canI say to you,

to convince you

that you're the only womanI want in my life?

I don't think

there is anything either oneof us can say right now.

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

Which is okay with me...

not really into talking.

Okay.

Thanks for being so honest.

Grace!

What are youdoing down there?

It's not how I planned it.

Cliff.

It's been in my familya long time.

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

It's you.

It's always been you.

Willalways be you.

I love you.

So, Grace,will you marry me?

[words catching]

[♪]

Do you need some help?

Nah, I--

But if you keeptalking to me,

I'll gladlyflatten my tire again.

[chuckles] Cute.

Thank you.My mom thinks I am.

I didn't mean--

Oh...

Never mind.

I'm new in town.

I know.

How?

Well, the socks gave you away.

Is there anythingelse I need to know

to pass as a native?

Well, you could think aboutditching the socks,

but...

either way,welcome to Cedar Cove.

[♪]

-There ya go.-Thank you!

Uh, Moon, wait. Um...

[exhales]

As you know,

we had some crazy weatherlast year

and it really hurtthe local fishermen.

Yeah. Yeah,weather will do that to you.

unless, of course,you choose to work inside,

which is one of the many reasons

why I never madethe salty sea my mistress.

Good point.

So, what do you thinkabout a huge fundraiser for them

down at the beach?

Ah, that sounds likea good cause.

I'm there.

How about sponsoring it?

Sure, I'll donatesome side dishes or something.

Maybe a little more than that?

Just, uh... how much more?

A lot more.

All more, all of it.

Food, decorations, servers.

Whoa! Whoa, Peggy.

It's forthe fishermen, Moon,

who need us,

and we need them.

That's howsmall communities work.

Small communities workby bankrupting my business?

You and I both knowyou can afford it.

That is something

that I would ratherthe whole world didn't know.

Why?

So people won't come byasking me to fund fundraisers.

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

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

Okay, look.

Let's say I throw this benefitfor the fishermen.

Who's going to throw the benefitfor me, huh?

Just think about it, okay?

Please?

Hey, stranger.

Mm.

I haven't seen youaround here in a while.

Yeah. I've been busy.

Started to get the feelingyou were avoiding meetings...

and me.

No, no, not at all.

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

You know, Seattle...

Are you surethat's all it is?

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

Yeah.

You're sure

that there isn't somethingyou need to tell me?

No. No. Nothing.

Those new brushes are great.

Just lookat his coat.

What do you say we doboth of us a favor

and clear the air?

I'm flattered, but therecan't be anything between us.

You know I love Grace.

Yes, I do.

So, I'll finish out the weekand move on.

Whoa, no need to quit.

You are so sweet.

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

You're the best ranch handI've had in years and--

I called a friend,a great guy.

Cal Pattenson.

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

You don't have to do this.

I do.

For me.

[chuckles]

I thinkit'll be good for me

to get away from the cowboysfor a while.

Tch-tch.

Hey!

Hi!

Oh! Thanks.

[exhales deeply]

So...

I'm engaged.

Cliff asked you to marry him?

Yes! He did.

Where's the ring?

Oh. Here.

Oh, Grace.It's beautiful.

I know.

It's been a whilesince I've been engaged,

but I'm pretty sure

that goeson your finger.

Not yet.

So you're not engaged?

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

You're not ready?

And Cliff's okaywith this?

Cliff said,as far as he's concerned,

he's engaged,

and when he sees this ringon my finger,

he will know that I am readyand we will set the date

and you will wear an ugly dress

and stand up there beside mewhile I get married...

again.

Oh, wow!

This is big!

Is the pause in acceptingbecause of Alex?

And me.

Have you ever reallywanted something

and then,as soon as you get it,

you're just not so sure?

You're not sureyou want Cliff?

Oh, no.I do want him.

I love him.

It's justthis whole marriage thing.

I mean, do I really wantto get married again?

Do I really needto get married again?

Then why'd youaccept the ring?

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

If we don't get married,if we don't move forward,

I think we might justcome to a full stop.

You can't marry someone

just because you don'twant to lose them.

I know.

If you'd just signyour statement

right there, please.

[footsteps]

You owe your friend.

If she hadn't beenharassing my office 24/7

to look into what was going onwith your disappearance...

She probably saved your life.

Relax! Okay?

Listen. Your investmentis totally sound.

In fact,

I'm going to be heading backto Cedar Cove real soon,

and when I do, I'm gonnastraighten this whole thing out,

and it'll be backto business as usual.

You have my word on it.

Your Honor,

we had a non-refundableper-plate charge.

There was entertainment,a goodie bag.

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

which meant I was out of pocketfor the money

to coverfor their rude behavior.

We didn't write it down.We forgot.

We're human.

This lawsuit'sover a birthday party?

A child's birthday party?

Our party planner is knownfor her theme parties.

Party planner?

It was quite the coupto land her.

We hada family emergency.

You just said you forgot.

Which is it?

Do I have to tell you?

Seeing as I am the judgeand this is my court...

yes.

Playoff tickets.

I got playoff tickets.

Did either of youtry to talk this out

before you came in here?

Mm-mm. No.

No.

When neighborshave a non-criminal problem

with their children,

they talk about itlike adults.

Preferably over a nice dinner...

maybe a barbecue.

Which I hereby sentence youto have within the next week.

And I sentence youto bring dessert.

But, Your Honor--

Case dismissed.

[Olivia sets gavel down]

And I want to see picturesof that dinner.

The hatand sunglasses

just make you lookeven more suspicious.

[chuckling] Hey!

The boy genius.

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

I did.I mean, look.

You outsmarted Dick,

you outsmarted the Feds.

I was wrong.

You do have more thana room temperature I.Q.

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

You're fired, and there'sno severance, by the way.

-So bye-bye.-You're unbelievable.

Yes. I am.

That wasn't a compliment.

Okay. Fine.

Let's talk.

You'reobviously upset.

Yes, I'm upset becauseyou almost got me killed.

"Almost"doesn't count.

And for your information,

I wasn't the onewho almost tried to kill you.

That was Dick.Remember?

Look, kid,

they say that when you sit downat a poker table,

if you can't pick outwho the patsy is

in the first 10 minutes,

you're the patsy.

You see,that's you, Eric.

You're the patsy.

Oh. And firstrule of business--

trust no one.

I don't.

[exhales]

Daddy's home.

[Justine]: I wish you would'velet me pay for breakfast.

[Luke]:I'm just not comfortable

with the idea of takingyour mother's money.

[Justine]: What?

[Luke]: Well, you haven'thad a job in a while.

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

I think you are.

No, I'm not. Really.

It's just thatyou're comfortable

with the idea of gettinghelp from your parents,

and... well, I'm not.

I am so happy to beback in Cedar Cove.

I mean,the health clinic

has a doctor, but they alsoneed a physician's assistant.

And my hair is on fire.

Mm-hmm.

What?

Dad, where are you?

Because you're not here.

You okay?

I-I couldn't be better.

Linnette...

I'm fine.

[sighs]

So...

excited aboutthe new job?

Little scared.

It's a lot of responsibility.

I mean, I'm not technicallya doctor,

but I can writeprescriptions

and I can performa lot of procedures.

Well, congratulations,Dr. McAfee.

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

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

I got it.

She's already got a job.

Oh, don't let me chase you out.

Oh, no, no.I have to go.

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

so I'm gonna go meeta couple potential replacements.

Ahh. You alreadygot a place?

The houseat Palmer and Smith.

Ooh. That'sa big house.

-Yeah.-Expensive.

That's why we needanother roommate.

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

[chuckling]

Bye, Dad.

[Bob]: Physician's assistant...

I remember when she wasselling Girl Scout cookies.

Roy, what's wrong?

Nothing.

Everything's fine.Why do you ask?

Mm. I've known youa very long time.

All's good.

Corrie's waiting for meat home. Um...

I should go.

You shouldn't have come.

It's too soon.

[Jack sighs]

I knowthat you're angry.

I'm not angry.

I'm justreally, really disappointed.

Well-- no.

Maybe I'm still angry.

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

I can't get through

this emotional hurricanethat you put me in

faster

just becauseyou want to feel comfortable.

All right, look.I, uh... [sighs]

I've been undera lot of pressure.

Okay? And I just, um...

[sighing] Okay.No excuses.

I just did it.

I thought thatI could handle it.

I thoughtthat I was handling it.

And then you walkedin the door,

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

I knewthat I was lying to myself.

And me.

Yes.

I can appreciate

that you want thingsto get back to normal,

but, um...

what I thoughtwas our "normal"

was a lie.

Don't let one mistakeruin what we have.

I'm at work.

This is not the place.

Can I call you later?

No.

Just give me some space.

I love you.

I know.

And I love you.

I just...

don't forgive you.

Not yet.

[door shuts]

[sighing]

So sorryto keep you waiting.

What did you needto talk about?

I'm pregnant.

Congratulations.

Thanks.

Does Ian know?

Now he does.

Beforehe shipped out?

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

I think he was avoiding me.

Luke e-mailed him

and sent this back to me.

Well, this looks all right.

He'll be there for youand the baby.

Keep reading.

He still wants a divorce.

Cecilia.

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

I'm not a marriage counselor.

You saved us the last time.

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

But we couldn't have done itwithout you showing us the way.

I need you.

We all do...

me, Ian, and my baby.

[beep]

Hello, Grace.

Hey, Bob!

I brought coffee and a muffin.

Ahh.

I know that tone.

You need a favor,

but the muffin isa very nice touch.

[chuckles]

Moon? I need an answer.

The Town Council's waiting,

and there are so many plansto be made.

I used to have this prettylittle dog named Penny,

and every time she wantedsomething from me,

she gave me a lookjust like that one.

Did it work?

Every single time.

Thank you!

But--

we keep it basic.

Nothing like lobstersor anything like that.

Lobsters?

Moon!That's terrific!

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

But I will find you lobsters.

What a great idea!

We can raise ticket prices,

and it's a great tie-inwith the fishermen.

Not with our fishermen.

Everyoneloves lobster.

It'll be so special.

Thank you, Moon!

I'm gonna send outan email blast.

Moon, I promise.

I will get every person in townto this event.

[she walks out]

You want me to bethe Town Manager?

Cedar Cove needs you.

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

[chuckles, scoffing]

We already havea Town Manager. Norman.

Retiring.

So, as the headof the Town Council,

I'm offeringyou the job.

Now, it doesn'tcome with any pay,

but the satisfaction

of servingyour community.

I don't know anythingabout politics.

Ah, it's nota political position.

I've never been toa Town Council meeting.

They're boring!

I didn't voteat last year's election.

Well, you should vote.

It's your civic duty.

That doesn't matter.

You're the most honestperson I know, Grace.

This library runs likea well-oiled machine.

Because of you.

Everyone in town lovesand respects you,

and you'rea born leader!

I could say the samething about you.

That's why I'm the headof the Town Council.

[both laughing]

But this position'sall about you.

Oh...

It's your turn.

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

"The year of Grace"?

-Yes, it is.-Oh. Huh.

Are you gonna eat that?

[dejected sigh]

Go on.

[laughing]

Hmm.

Hi there.

Hey.

You looking fora place to live?

Maybe.

Well...

There's my number.

It's a reallygreat place.

Thanks.

I do depend on my parentstoo much financially.

I need to be on my own.

I'm going to move out.

How will you afford it?

I'll get a job,

a real job that I can dowhile I go to school.

You don't need to turn awayhelp from your parents

just because of what I said.

I want to do this.

Thanks forhelping me see that.

What?

I'm going to haveto tell my mother.

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

[chuckles]

Judge Lockhart.Did you hear?

Hear what?

Anthony tooka leave of absence.

Yes. I know.He called me.

His father has to havesurgery in Philadelphia.

There's a new D.A.

Paul Watson.

What do you know?

I know

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

you need to ask him.

Have you met him?

No.

I can't lose my job.

I think you're overreacting.

New D.A.s liketo clean house,

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

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

Maybe you can put ina good word for me?

I thinkyou'll do just fine,

if you stopobstructing justice.

What do you mean?

You're delayingthat judge.

But that's not obstr...

Oh, right, a joke.

[Olivia chuckles]

[door creaks open]

Oh! I'm sorry!

I didn't splashyou, did I?

No. No damage.

Okay.

Wait. I--I know you.

So much forbeing anonymous.

We met at Cliff's.

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

The judge.Your girlfriend.

Mm. You look...different, somehow.

I decided to cut my hair.

Changing up somethings in my life.

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

No.

So...

horses drove you to drink?

[laughs]

Wall Street.

Ah.

Yeah.

And the horses?

I grew upon a horse farm.

I wasn't preparedfor the pressure

of the city and the job.

I realized I'm a lotmore comfortable

on a horse farmthan a subway.

Right.

And there werea couple of bad choices

with men.

Well, we all have those.

I mean, you know,me with women,

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

How did youend up here?

You don't seemlike a native.

That's a long story.

I've got a lot oftime on my hands

at the moment,and no job.

You want to grab a coffee?

I promisenot to spill it on you,

and my treat.

-Sure.-Yeah?

-Yeah.-Let's go.

-[knocking at door]-Eric?

Yeah?

What happened?Are you okay?

Oh, this?That's a long story.

Where's Adele?

She's with my aunt.

I got your text

about moving back inwith your dad.

And then I saw youon the news.

What's going on, Shelly?

Well, the accounting firmthat I've been working for,

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

and it's a lot more money,

401K,

a relocation fee.

Relocation?

It's in Oklahoma.

Oklahoma?

And I'm gonna needyour permission

to take Adele out of state.

It's just a couple papersthat you're gonna need to sign--

Whoa! What're you saying here?

You... You just expect meto give up my daughter?

I don't want to make trouble.

How is this not trouble?

I am takingAdele with me,

and if I have to go to court,

my lawyer is going to useeverything that we've got

to get me full custody.

-What?-Look, Eric.

According to the news,

you were workingfor a criminal,

you were the targetof an FBI investigation,

and now you're unemployed

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

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

He's sober.

He's drinking again.

And my lawyerwill tell the court

that your life in Cedar Coveis unstable,

and that having Adelearound someone

with a drinking problem...

I really don't want to hurt you.

No, you just want totake my child away.

You know, if you're a cop, pal,

you'd betterhave yourself a warrant.

You know,forget about the warrant.

Get yourself out of my chair.

I'm not a cop,

but I'm guessingright about now,

you're wishing I were.

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

just like it's my building.

Go home.

I gotnews for you--

until this messwith Saget Development

is cleaned up,

Cedar Cove is my home.

There is no mess,all right?

And all the chargeswere dropped.

Because I got them dropped.

And when these thingshit the front page,

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

It's bad for the company,

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

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

But I can.

Buck, look--

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

Trust me. They'll be back.

Look, Dad, seriously.

Go.

You know,you haven't changed.

Not since you were six

and I caught you stealingthe loose change off my bureau.

You can't be trusted.You never could.

Therefore, as of today,

I am exercising my privilegeas majority stockholder

and taking over the company.

That's never gonna happen.

Ever.

[takes a deep breath]

I know you.

Better than anyone else.

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

and most importantly...

I know what scares you.

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

And we both know,family or not,

I don't take prisoners...

Junior.

[Jeri]:Where were you on Tuesday?

Cedar Cove.

You missedBarry's farewell luncheon.

Do you read your e-mails?

Jeri, I gotta go.

I would strongly suggest

you don't missthe welcome dinner

for the new incoming editor.

You don't want to get offon the wrong foot.

All right,send the info

and I'll be there.

[beeps phone off]

Corrie can'tknow we talked.

Keeping people'sinformation confidential

is somethingI'm pretty good at.

I mean, what's upsetting me,

it concerns Corrie,

but she can't know anythingabout it.

Mm.

It's regarding somethingwe did before we were married.

Something she did.

Moon!

You shouldn't have leftthe council meeting early.

Government buildingsmake me itchy.

Oh! Why?

You never heardof the '60s?

Well, they approved everything.

They love it.

Swell.

But there's justone little, tiny hiccup.

Seems the space at the beachisn't available that day,

so they want us to do iton the 12th instead.

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

I know.

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

Oh, well, justhire someone.

And look!

Voila! And these will beall over the county.

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

That's great.

So...

how's our menu coming?

Barbecued ribs, chicken,coleslaw, potato salad.

I told people lobster!

You know,

it was Henry David Thoreauwho said,

"Our lifeis frittered away by detail.

Simplify, simplify."

Well, you know, Peggy, I'm gonnatake the man's advice--

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

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

no lobster.

go from there.

[huffs]

Hey.

You okay?

Get everythingmoved back all right?

Shelly's taking Adeleto Oklahoma.

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

Thanks to you.

-Me?-You're drinking again?

She said she caught youa while back on the ferry.

Is it true?

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

I slipped.

But it's over now.

She's got some lawyer

who's gonna use your slip-upto take my baby away from me.

[Eric walks away]

Well, I appreciate anythingyou can do, Vice Admiral.

Thank you.

Vice Admiral Nielsenat the base.

You enlisting?

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

I was callingabout Ian.

Cecilia's pregnantand Ian wants a divorce.

No...

Bob wants meto be the new Town Manager.

Now, that's a good idea!

-You think?-Yeah!

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

Town Managercarries out the decisions

made by the Town Council,

which means you'll beinvolved in the budget

and supervisingmost departments.

Why do you alwaysknow everything?

Sorry.

[chuckles]

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

I think I agree.

Cecilia knows that you cannotsave her marriage, right?

Yeah.

And you know you can'tsave her marriage, right?

Of course.

What?

Well, there are some thingsthat can be saved.

Like Jack.

Not every relationshipis a sinking ship.

I'm just tryingto help Cecilia,

end of story.

You want a hug?

Yeah.

Aww.

Want a lift home?

I rode my bike.

Fresh air will do you good.

Yeah.

[fridge door thuds]

Jack.

Don't punish Ericbecause of my mistake.

I'm not drinking.

Shelly, he's a good dad.

This job in Oklahoma

will let me take care of Adele

in a waythat will make her life better.

It's the bestthing for her.

And what about Eric?

This isn't about Eric.

Yes, it is.

He's her father.

Then he shoulddo what's best

and let me take her with me.

Nice and private.

Aww, and you've gotmy drink waiting for me.

You think a good scotchis gonna soften me up?

Obviously, we got offon the wrong foot.

Since birth.

I would like to tryto work things out, Dad.

You want me to leave.

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

and that is run this business.

You mean my business.

No. I am still the presidentof this company.

Yeah. For now.

For now.

You want to move out?

My living with you wasonly supposed to be temporary.

Okay.

Okay?

Well, you'rea grown woman.

You deserve to haveyour own place.

I can't wait to see it.

[door opens and closes]

-Hey.-Hey.

How are you?

Good. How are you?

Here about the ad.

Are you a mechanic?

The engine on this boat'solder than both of us.

Yeah, my father had onejust like this.

Broke down all the time.

So I got a lot of experience.

All right, well, come aboardand we'll talk.

Shelly called.

Oh.

Thanks, Dad.For trying.

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

What?

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

it feels likea series of bad choices

linked togetherwith regrets.

There was a time

when I put everythingahead of family.

It's too late for me.

It's not, for you.

What are you talking about?

Adele.

You need to put her first.

Even if that meansgiving up on certain things.

In the long run,it's worth it.

You gotta trust me on this one.

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

And I want you to be

the great fatherthat I know you can be.

Grace!

Hey, Norman.

What're you doing?

Just a little nesting.

[chuckles] In my office?

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

Since when?

Well, since you retired.

[laughing]

Who told you I retired?

[keeps laughing]

Good morning, everyone.

The first caseon today's docket is...

Saget versus Saget?

Well...

this day just gotmore interesting.

That's gonnalook good. Yeah.

That's gonna be great.

Hey! Surprise.

What are you up to now?

I'm auditioning these guys!

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

Peggy, I can'tafford lobsters,

and I can't afford a band.

They said they'll do itfor free!

That's 'cause they're terrible.

How do you know?

They played hereabout a year ago.

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

and the lead singer-- hah!

He literally drives people awaywith his voice.

Seriously, I've seen it--

right out the door.

Oh.

You have got to settle down!

And you have gotto get excited!

No! What I've got to dois put the brakes on--

on youand this whole event.

Fine!

I'm just gonna godo this on my own!

Oh...

Come on, Peggy!

This isn't personal.

You're my father.

Look, kid.

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

This is just business.

I've beentoo easy on you.

Oh, yeah.I gotta tell you, Dad.

Being your son'sbeen real easy.

[laughs]You are so entitled.

And who entitled me?

That's your mother's fault.

-Which one?-[Senior chuckles dryly]

What, you think I shouldgive you special privileges

just because you're my son?

Yes!

That's nothow business works.

That's howfamily business works!

I'm trying to protectmy investment.

Of course you are!

Come on, let's behonest with each other.

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

and you never evenpicked up the phone.

This time is different.

No. It's not different.You're a player.

And a player needs a game,

and unfortunately,golf just doesn't cut it.

And this whole semi-retirementthing you got going on,

it's-- it's hard, I get it,

you're having a hard timewith it, fine.

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

Get involved.

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

Do something else.

Stay out of my business.

And my life.

You know what?

-What?-You're right.

I'm glad you finally admitted

that I was rightabout something.

While I'm here,

I am gonna take up tennis.

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

You wanna go a few rounds?

[laughs]

[sighs heavily]

Isn't that what we just did?

No.

When I reallyplay you...

you'll know it... son.

There's nothingmore to talk about.

I'll sign the papers.

But I'm coming with you.

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

I mean, look at me, Shelly.

What have I got holding me here?

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

What about your father?

He wants me to go.

I want to go.

I want to be the fatherI never had.

Will you work with meonce we both get settled?

I want Adeleto have her father.

That's me.

There ya are.

Enjoy.

Will Jeffers.

Staying at my Mom'sfor the summer.

Like the bad penny.

[laughs] What--

Where does thatsaying come from?

Well, a long time ago,

when a pennywas actually worth something,

people would get a counterfeit

and then immediately tryto palm it off on someone else,

but somehow,

it always seemedto boomerang back.

Just like you.

An unwanted item

who keepsshowing up again

and again.

Coffee?

Yes, please.

What are we doing here?

I need to drop offsome paperwork

to my new boss.

You're working here?

Yeah, fora local fisherman.

Which local fisherman?

Derek.

Justine?

Wait, this isn't...

What's going on?

No way.

No, forget it, man!No job, no nothing.

Get away from my boat.

Both of you.

Derek isSeth's best friend.

Where'severybody else?

Where's this new boss of mine?

You're looking at him.

Or her.

What?

The outgoing editorpromoted me.

I am your new boss.

Cheers.

[clink]

[sighs heavily]

When I signed onas Town Manager,

I assumedit was because

we did not havea Town Manager,

and I assumed that

because that'swhat you told me.

So, thank you so muchfor wasting my time,

and you can tell Normanhe can keep my stapler.

I left out a detail.

You left out Norman!

'Cause Norman won't go.

So thenjust let him stay.

He's a friend,

and it pains meto say this,

but he is a terribleTown Manager.

So you want meto stage a coup

for a job that I gottalked into taking?

Not a coup!

But maybe you can justget him to see that he's...

Terrible?

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

He ordered a dozen reindeerand a Santa outfit

for the Fourth of July Parade.

That explains a lotabout that parade.

Well, get him to leave,

but make it seemlike it was his idea.

Anything else?

Yeah, don'ttell him we talked,

because he's a--he's a proud man--

You were kidding aboutthe "anything else.,"

Right?

I was.

I did notsign up for this.

Maybe you didn't sign up...

but you did volunteer.

Bob, I most certainly did not!

[fuming sigh]

Hey. That Saget father and sonare a trip, huh?

Hate to spend Thanksgivingat their house.

Before I call my bailiffand have you escorted out,

do you want to tell mewhat you are doing here?

Apologies.

We haven't beenproperly introduced,

and I have to say--

your file picturedoesn't do you justice.

I'm Paul.

Paul Watson.I'm Anthony's replacement.

I'm the new D.A.

And, yes,

I should have told you who I wasat the seawall.

Nice to formally meet you...

Judge Lockhart.

[awkward chuckle]

You're the newsenior editor?

How did that happen?

I'm talented.

The outgoing editorhad it in his contract

that he could namehis successor,

and, uh, he named me.

You need a drink.

Uh, we're good with these,thanks,

and we'll have two vodkas,straight up.

-Water.-With a water back.

Just water.

You're not drinking?

You're on the wagon? Again?

Don't act so surprised.

Something happen to causethis sudden change of heart?

Yeah, me wanting to be sober.

Just becauseyou have a few beers,

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

It doesif you're an alcoholic.

You're not.

Next subject.

Thanks.

Look, uh...

maybe you want to rethinkthis job in Seattle.

Why? Because I'm not drinking?

I lost two reporterswhen the senior editor left,

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

Lean away.

You're a better writerwhen you drink.

Whether I drinkor I'm not drinking,

that's not up for commentor discussion,

do you understand?

How's the medical malpracticearticle coming?

Almost done.

Then you can take over

Clive's "Seattle Life"column this week?

Absolutely.

Deadline is Friday.

You'll have it Thursday.

I'm your boss now.

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

I always deliver.

Okay.

Just be careful.

That stuff can kill ya.

You should have told mewho you were the other day.

Well, you didn'tgive me the chance.

Something tells me

that you like beingthe person in the room

with the most information.

Something tells meyou don't like being

the person in the roomwithout the most information.

Look.

We're gonna have towork together.

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

Okay.[thumps chair]

[door shuts]

[knocking]

[chuckles softly]Come in?

[door opens]

Hi. Uh, Judge Lockhart?

I'm Paul. Watson.

I'm gonna be taking overas D.A. in this county

and I wanted to properlyintroduce myself.

Nice to meet you,Mr. Watson.

Oh. Paul.

Olivia.

By the way,I got rid of those socks.

Thanks for the tip.

[chuckles]

Will?

Hi, Sis.

So, Mom just gave youthe keys to her house?

Mm-hmm.

She's in Cape Codfor the summer

and she knewI needed a break.

From?

My divorce.

What about work?

Well, the divorce

gave me quite a bitof cash and stock,

so I decided

I would take a leavefrom the company

this summer

and figure out whatmy next chapter should be.

Shouldn't that chapterbe in Georgia?

Cedar Coveis my home.

Not sincehigh school.

Look.

I'm not goingto cause any trouble.

I haven't even told Gracethat I'm back.

She's with Cliff,I get that.

You're not even gonnanotice that I'm here.

-Oh!-[Moon laughs]

Sorry!

I thought youalready had a job

out atCliff's ranch.

Oh, not anymore. I quit.

It was time.

So what kind of workyou looking for?

No idea.

What did you dobefore Cliff's?

Wall Street.I was a trader.

[Moon laughing]:How'd you end up here?

If you don't mind my asking.

Well...

I grew up on a ranch,

then I went to Columbia,

Wharton,and then Wall Street,

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

and now... unemployed.

Quite the interestingcareer trajectory.

It certainly is.

Well...

Everybody hasan interesting story,

if you look hard enough.

[Senior]: Actually, no,I usually find

most other people's storieskind of boring.

Yours, however...

Buck Saget.

"Buck"?

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

[chuckling]

I am neither.

I currently runThe Saget Company.

By the way...

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

And how do you do that?

It's all marketing.

Selling yourself.

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

And how do I do that?

Let me buy youanother coffee,

and I'll explain.

Shouldn't I be the onebuying you a coffee?

I like your style.

May I?

Please.

I don't need Moon.

Or his lobster.

Or his help!

I should never have asked himin the first place.

Corrie's coming over laterto help.

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

You're right.

Suit up!

Me?

Get shucking.

I've read both your briefs

and I've rendereda decision in this case.

What's at stakewith Saget versus Saget

is control of the company.

I've had time to studythe Articles of Incorporation,

and according to those articles,

Mr. Saget Senior

holds controlling interestin the company,

although Mr. Saget Junioris president

and in charge ofthe daily operations.

Your honor, I mustrespectfully disagree.

You must respectfully sit down

and don't interrupt me

or I'll have to hold youin contempt.

Cost you a lot of money.

The articlesare not up for debate.

They're signed and notarized.

Mr. Saget... you seemquite fidgety over there.

Would you liketo address the court?

Yes, I do, Your Honor.

My father is a passive investorin this company.

My money's notso passive, though.

Please.

He has never been involvedin this company,

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

Papers or not.

This is my company.

You may sit.

I'm afraid,in a court of law,

the right papersmake my job quite easy.

Mr. Saget Sr.,as majority stockholder,

has every right to take controlof the company.

Court finds in favorwith the plaintiff--

-Warren Saget Sr.-[gavel clacks]

Court adjourned.

-Hey.-Hey.

Need some help?

I never turn down help.

-Chop saw?-Yeah.

Don't tell PeggyI'm out here,

she thinks I'm shucking clams.

[chuckles]

Not working today?

Ah, I just gotback from Seattle.

Now, we canwork this two ways--

one, we can spend the next hourdancing around

whatever you came hereto talk to me about,

or-- and I have to sayI'm a big fan of this one--

just tell mewhat's going on.

Jeri's my new bossat the Seattle paper.

Well, that's not somethingI saw coming.

Yeah. That makes two of us.

What are you thinking?

I like my job.

No.

No, I love the job.

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

[Bob sighs]

Look, this is my career,

I can't help that,at the moment,

my career is linked to Jeri.

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

Yes.

Doesn't matter how I feel.

Matters howOlivia feels.

Talk to Olivia.

Well, that's easier saidthan done.

I don't know what'sgoing on between you two,

but I speak from experiencewhen I tell you--

don't give her too much time

to think about whateveryou are fighting about.

Talk to her.

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

Your willpowerreally annoys me sometimes.

Sorry.

No, you are not.

No. I'm not.

[Olivia chuckles]

So, you saidthe pie was a bribe.

Mm-hmm. For advice.

Go on.

[sighing]

Norman. Our ex-Town Manager.

He doesn't realizethe "ex" part,

and he won'tleave his office.

Literally.

Oh.

I don't want tobe rude to him,

but in order for me

to do the jobthat I did not want to do,

but I got talked into doing,

I need himto vacate the office!

Maybe you could findsomething else for him to do.

Like spelunking?

Yes! Grace! Spelunking.

How am I supposed to findthis man something else to do?

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

You know,this pie is so good,

I thinkI'll have the other half.

Ooh! I am so happyto give you the extra calories.

[knocking]

Paul Watson.

I would love for you to meetGrace Sherman.

Hi.

Hi!

Paul is our new D.A.

Ahh!

Makes me want to break the law.

Oh, please, don't.

[laughing]

Grace is our new Town Manager.

-Oh!-Mm.

Okay. I'm just gonna go,

you know, let you two

do that little lawyer thingthat you do.

Oh, I wasjust leaving.

I'll walk you out.

[mouthing words]

Came to check up on you.

I'm okay.

I know you really wantedthat job with Derek.

Ah, it was perfect.

Out on the water.

I love the water.I miss it.

You're startingto sound like Seth.

I'm not Seth, okay?

Sorry. Can we drop it?

-But I---Just drop it.

Please?

I was wonderingif I could buy you lunch.

A working lunch.

I want to pick your brainon staff, and, uh--

Jack.

Hey.

This is Paul WatsonHe's the new D.A.

-Hey.-Paul, This is Jack Griffith.

He runsour local paper.

Listen. I was hopingthat we could talk.

I know that you're on break.

We are just aboutto have lunch.

My fault. We have administrativethings

we need to talk over.

We should go.

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

but, um, I really wouldlike to talk to you.

[♪]

Jack's a nice guy.

He is.

He's more thana reporter, though.

So... boyfriend?

[laughs]

See, you took a beatto answer that question,

which means oneof two things--

either it'sa new relationship,

and you haven'tgotten to the place

where you're comfortablewith the monikers,

or you're ina relationship,

and something hasgiven you pause--

like the pause you tookto answer that question.

Moon makes a mean latte.

Got it. You don'twant to talk about it.

Not unless you want totalk about your divorce.

How'd you know?

A hunch. The lookon your face tells me

the hunch is correct.

Wow. You gotta remind meto never play poker with you.

Done.

So, latte, huh?

Best in the state.

Actually,

I do have some business

I'd like todiscuss with you.

Rebecca Jennings.

Your A.D.A.

Well, you know herbetter than I do.

What's your opinion?

I had my issues with herin the beginning,

but she's gotten better.

So she is strong-willed.

Oh, that's a nice wayof puttin' it.

[both laughing[

She and I hada 10-minute argument

over how to usethe coffee machine.

I mean, you take a pod,you put it in,

you press a button--thank you--

and she stillfound it necessary

to school me onthe proper procedure.

Rebecca's smart,

but she often leadswith her attitude.

How'd Anthony deal with her?

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

That's not really my way.

You like a little more control?

Yeah,

and I think I'm not the onlyperson at this table who does.

So, any helpful hints

on how to deal withthe intense Miss Jennings?

You want my help.

I want a new A.D.A.

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

Nice!

Reverse psychology.

My minor. Yale.

Actually,

I am concerned

that Rebecca's not gonnabe able to fall in line.

But you don't know thatfor sure.

Meaning?

Well, everybody deserves

an opportunityto prove themselves.

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

Rebecca.

How about that latte?

Yes. Thanks.

Sure, Luke's qualified.

So hire him.You were going to.

Seth's my friend.

I don't feel like hiring the guywho stole his girlfriend.

No one "stole" me.

I'm a person, Derek,not an unlocked car.

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

I mean, you really hurt him.

Have you talked to him?Have you called him?

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

No, you didn't wantto talk to him,

because it's uncomfortablefor you.

So, are you upsetwith me or with Luke?

It's funny.

I always thought you werea pretty fair guy.

But what you're doing to Lukeisn't fair

and it isn't right.

Kind of likewhat you did to Seth.

You've gota lot of stuff.

Hate to throw anything out.

You a hoarder?

Collector.

Can you sell any of thisat an auction?

Probably not.

You're a hoarder.

Oh, I met this woman yesterday

who might be interestedin renting the third bedroom.

Anything that lowers my rentinterests me.

So, uh, when do youstart your new job?

Tomorrow.

Don't be nervous.

Is it that obvious?

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

I know some ofthe doctors there.

They're really nice.

And I'm the onewho should be nervous.

Why you?

I have a meetingwith my new boss

and I just got my old bossto like me

and now I got to startall over again with someone new.

And if he doesn't like me,

we're going to needa fourth roommate

to cover my rent.

So here's hopingI don't lose my job.

You've got to bemore positive.

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

I'll see what I can do.

Bring down the perky.

Bob! Oven!

Peggy.

What?

This kitchen is not equippedto cook enough food

for all the peopleat the benefit,

and I am not equippedto be your short-order cook.

You're my sous chef!

I'm your husband!

Well, thenstart acting like it,

and get busywith those lobsters!

They're not gonnabutterfly themselves.

[thumps stool down]

I'm on strike.

You don't belong to a union.

-I'll join.-Bob...

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

and I can't letall those fishermen down.

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

[sighing]Just talk to Moon.

Who?

I feel bad.

Don't. It's okay.

No, it's not.

I'm the reason thatDerek won't hire you.

Hey, if I had to choosebetween you and the job,

it's a no-brainer.

But I don't think

Derek's the only reasonthat you're upset.

You should call him.

Seth?

What would I say?

[sighing deeply]

In group,we do a lot of work

on how you can'tavoid the pain

or the discomfortof things.

By you nottalking to Seth,

it's not making youfeel better,

it's making youfeel worse.

He deserves closure.

So do you.

Rebecca.

Can we talk later?I'm running late.

[sternly]: Rebecca.

Is theresomething wrong?

The Simmons motion.

I filed it.

Yeah, that's the problem.

I don't understand.

I sign off on everythingthat goes through my office,

because I am responsible

for everythingthat comes out of my office.

Sorry.

I don't thinkthat you are.

No. I'm not.

And I shouldn't have to be.

I was doing my job.

Wow. Well, you're honest.

And I'm competent.

Look, I've been filing motionssince I--

It doesn't matterwhat you used to do.

What mattersis what you will do,

going forward.

Your way is going to cost time.

My way

is the waythat we're gonna do things.

You know why?

BecauseI'm in charge.

Not you.

[wheezing]

Hey!

You look like you'rehaving a tough morning.

Well,if I'm completely honest,

which I am trying to domore of these days, uh...

Yeah, I'm a little upset.

What?

Okay. Who?

Olivia.

You're angry at Olivia?

Just feels like she'snever gonna forgive me.

And if she doesn't, then...

you know,what am I doing?

Do you rememberwhat it was like

when you were a kidon Christmas Eve?

Yeah.

Made you crazyto wait for Christmas morning,

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

Okay.

People we end up hurting

have their own time tablefor healing.

You can't get to whereyou want to get

any fasterthan others allow,

just becauseit's uncomfortable for you.

And you're not angry at her,

as much as you're madat yourself.

[exhales intently]

How did you get to be so wise?

I took classes.

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

[both laughing]

-Nicely done.-Thanks.

Hi.

How can I help you?

Think I crossed the line.

With the "second chances"and Jack.

The ring just came off...

by the way.

That's the reasonI took this job.

How long were you married?

12 years.

First two were good.

The next eight were...

livable.

Last twowere unbearably horrible.

Thank you.

For?

Not asking about Jack.

Sure.

So, um, did you

call a truce with Rebecca?

No.

She won't budge.

Think I'm gonnahave to let her go.

[exhaling wearily]

Hey.

You're gonnafire her?

Would you wantto work with her?

I'm a judge.

You didn'tanswer the question.

-She's---Gone.

End of story.

Moving on.

[Olivia sighs]

[exhaling wearily]

Hi, Bob.

I've gottwo good people in my life.

Two really good people who aretrying to do a good thing

and they only want the best

for Cedar Coveand the community.

[grumbles softly]

"But..."?

But they're both stubbornas mules,

and because they refuseto work together,

I've got dishpan hands!

[laughing]

I don't wantdishpan hands.

I want you.

I need you.

Cedar Cove needs you.

Peggy needs you.

Ah, for the love ofall things holy,

come on back to the benefit

and get me the heckout of the kitchen.

Huh?

I love beingTown Manager.

Liar!

I need this job.

Okay,that's closer to the truth,

but it's not the whole truth.

[sighing]

This job is saving my marriage.

Look, when I tookearly retirement,

I had lots of time,lots of money,

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

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

I mean, I'd loveto give up this job,

but I can't.

Got your text. What's up?

Whatever you did,I forgive you.

What did I do?

I don't know.

But I do knowthat Derek called me

and he hired meon a probationary basic.

I got the job.

That's great.

Thank you fornot listening to me.

Anytime.

[chuckling]

Oh! The reporter.

Jack. The lawyer?

D.A. Uh, Paul.

Oh, I rememberthe name.

So you're hereto see Judge Lockhart?

No, actually,

I'm getting backgroundon Saget versus Saget.

Ahh! That should bean interesting story.

Yeah. That's the plan.

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

But you had nothingto do with it.

I am the new D.A.

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

Seems like, around here,

a new D.A. might be.

Small-town paper,but never small stories.

Small. Huh.

Afraid so.

By the way,sorry for interrupting

you and Olivia the other day.

She's a fascinating woman.

You're a lucky man.

[opens door]

Yeah.

You still mad at me?

Alex!

I didn't even recognize you.

You scared me for a second.

Thought you weren'ttalking to me.

No.

Good, because...

Well, I just wantedto tell you again

how sorry I am.

I never meant to--

I know, and it's okay.

You might've done mea favor in the long run.

I landed a new job.

Back in the business world.

Working at The Saget Company.

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

Good to see you.

Yeah.

Guess who?

Will.

I'm back.

Mm.

Hello!

Hi.

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

Buck hired me.

Ah, good.

Obviously, his first decisionwas a smart one.

Actually, truth is,

I've been looking foran assistant for a while now,

so this should work out nicely.

Uh, coffee order--

caffe mocha, no whipped cream,no sugar,

extra-dry, half-skim,half--

-[Alex scoffs]-...Full milk.

You're kidding right?

No. Chop-chop.

I'm notyour new assistant.

I'm yournew Chief Financial Officer.

And by the way,

that coffee order of yoursis completely ridiculous.

You can go.

[Warren walks off]

[knocking]

Why?

Peggy and Moonaren't speaking.

All I can tell youis I am all shucked out.

I will never look at clamsthe same way again.

Benefit cookout?

Peggy thinks she cando it without Moon.

I wish she would do itwithout me.

I'm no cook.

I can't get her to budge.

Well, then, I suggestyou tackle this

from the other end.

Now, I'm actually here onofficial Town Manager business.

Oh?

Norman.

-Ahh.-You got me into this.

Well, that I did.

Now you're gonnaget me out of it.

What do you think?

I love it.

And the rent seemspretty reasonable.

Can I get back to youon the deposit?

Yeah. Sure.

Hi.

I was just showing the room.

Justine.

-Rebecca.-You guys know each other?

Rebecca tried to puta sick friend of mine

in prison.

Oh.

He didn't go.

Not becauseyou didn't want him to.

True.

But he's doing well, I hear.

No thanks to you.

Look, this is a bit--

Don't worry,I'm out of here.

Wait!

Great.

You just lost usthe most normal person

who answered our ad.

[door slams]

I hired Alexbecause she's bright.

-Oh! Right!-Attractive and bright.

Her jobis to straighten out this mess

that you got the company into.

I can handle it.

I've been cleaning up after youyour whole life.

You know, what would bea lot simpler for both of us

is if you just wentback to New York.

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

I do.

It's greatbeing the only shark

walking down the street.

You do me a favorand you make sure

you tell herthat she stays out of my way.

No. You stayout of her way.

This company has my name

and, more importantly,my money.

Now, you don't like itand I don't like it,

but you are stuck with me

until I think I can trust youwith the reins again. Okay?

[Justine]:I didn't hear you come in.

How was your day?

Not great.

Rebecca Jennings.

Rebecca?

Thought I foundthe perfect place to move into,

just one problem...

Rebecca.

Linnette McAfeeis the other roommate,

and she's great, but...

You know, that stuff with Lukewas a long time ago,

and people change.

Not her.

Are you gonna tell mewhat's going on with Jack?

I'm not blind,you know.

We're workingthrough something.

That's what you saidbefore you and Dad got divorced.

Different people,different situation.

He loves you, you know.

I know.

But how do you know?

Mom, it's writtenall over his face.

He's been nuts for yousince day one.

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

since I don't even have a job.

You want to move out.

-Yes.-And you want to get--

...a job so you can move out.

Yes.

Anything worth having

is worth fighting for.

You know, I could saythe same thing to you.

[laughs]

[keyboard clacking]

[door opens]

You're working kinda late.

You too,by the looks of it.

Peggy sent me out for buttertwo hours ago.

Truth is I'm hiding.

Can't stand the heat, huh?

So I got out of the kitchen.

I just finishedmy Seattle story for Jeri.

Thought I'd, uh,take a little break

before getting intothe second one.

Look, Bob. [sighing]

I owe you an apology.

I fell off the wagona couple of weeks ago.

And I should havesaid something,

but I was just too embarrassed.

You knew, didn't you?

Relapseis part of the recovery, Jack.

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

it's how we reactand correct those mistakes

that counts.

Well, I started covering upand, um...

lying to people.

You know.

Lying to Olivia.

Sober now.

I just finished

a great article

on the Sagets' internal fight

for control overtheir family business and...

[voice breaks]:I just feel lousy.

Jack, you'vebeen so busy

trying to getOlivia to forgive you,

that you forgotto forgive yourself,

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

You're a success story

as long as you keep tryingand working to stay sober.

[thumps desk]

I am a work in progress.

Aren't we all?

Hey.

What?

What isyour problem?

You, at the moment.

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

You can't own upto the fact

that you made a mistakeabout Luke.

That's what this is between us.

I thoughtI just didn't like you.

No, you don't likewhat you did,

but instead of doingthe human thing

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

you're holdinga stupid grudge against me.

How many grudgesyou got going at the moment?

I'm guessing it's a lot.

It's your loss.

I would've beena great roommate.

So Norman's retiring?

I'm working on it.

Your first job as Town Manager.

Yeah. I like it.

Helping people

with more than just findingthe latest author of the month.

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

So I have somethingI have to tell you.

Will decided to move backto Cedar Cove for the summer.

Yeah, how'd you know?

I ran into him.

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

Absolutely.

Well, a lot of obstaclesout there.

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

But you can't let himor anything else throw you.

Will has nothing to do with us.

The only peoplewho can get in our way are us.

Still have my ring?

In my purse.

I am looking forwardto seeing that on your hand...

when you're ready.

-Hi.-Hello.

Rebecca came to see me.

Why?

To tell meher side of the story.

There's always two sidesto every story.

She doesn'tfollow the rules.

She's a loose cannon.

You haven't alwaysfollowed the rules either.

Wow.

State of Washingtonversus Hollick.

I lost this case.

No, you forced a mistrial.

That was a rumor.

Well, rumor has it,

if you hadn't forced a mistrial,

jeopardy would have attached,

and a murdererwould have gone free.

I'm impressed.

So am I.

At your second trial,

you were able to get backyour lost witness

and put a guilty manwhere he belongs, prison,

all becauseyou didn't follow the rules.

You don't find Rebecca annoyingbecause she argues with you,

you find her annoyingbecause she reminds you of you.

Well, you're certainly notwasting that psychology minor,

are you?

Goodbye, Paul.

[quietly]: Goodbye, Olivia.

Thanks.

Well, you were right,I was wrong.

It wasn't fair.

He just better be good.

He is.

Okay.

I'm sorry.

Not the oneyou need to say that to.

Seth?

Don't hang up.

[knocking]

Am I allowed in?

[chuckles]Sure.

Look, I'm sorry about yesterday.

No, I'm the onewho came to apologize.

I got so caught upin everything,

I didn't listento a word you said.

I was wrong.

I'm sorry.

Thank you, Peggy.

I'm not crazy about fightingwith people I don't like,

much less the ones that I do.

[laughs]Me either!

Come on in, guys,

They all cameto volunteer

so you don't have todo it all yourself.

I mean, that is,

if you decided to possiblychange your mind

and come back, please?

Ah, you knew I was gonnado this all along, right?

I sure hoped so.

Oh!

Thank you!

All right,come in and sit down, everyone.

We'll come upwith a plan of action.

[Peggy]: We're back!

[knocking at door]

Cecilia!

I know it's late.

I wanted to come byand thank you in person.

I'm going tomove to Port Orchard

so I can be closer to Bremerton,

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

and his family is there,

I'll need all the help I can getwith the baby.

He wants usto be a family again.

We're going to go to counseling.

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

about, well...about everything.

What was the expressionyou used?

"The importance of forgiveness."

That's it.

He's forgiven me and...

well, it's all because of you.

No, now, your persistenceplayed a big part in this, too.

Cecilia, just--just a second.

You're going to be a mother soon

and that means

someone elseis going to be depending on you

to make good, smartlife decisions.

Now, I know thatyou're a good, smart person...

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

Okay.

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

I only want to see you here,

in my house with your husbandand your new baby.

Aww.

I'll never forgetwhat you did for me,

for us.

Hi, Jack.

Cecilia.

Goodnight.

Jack.

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

I just wantedto drop off

an early editionof The Chronicle.

I didn't want youto miss the editorial.

Goodnight.

[♪]

Oh, Moon! Photo op.

Oh! [chuckles]

Tah-dah![shutter clicks]

Mwah! We did it!

Yes. That we did.

And I couldn't havedone it without you.

Well, I wouldn't havedone it without you,

and I thank you for that.

-Aww.-I like to be careful--

...With my money,

but it does feel good

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

For a good cause.

Rebecca...

is back.

On probation.

She said that if she didn'tfile the motion when she did,

that she would've losta big piece of evidence.

Her side of the story.

Yeah.

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

I need her to startcoming to me first. What?

Well, if you want herto come to you first,

you might try beinga little more approachable.

I'm very approachable.

In high school,I was voted

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

And you approached me.No problem.

I'm not Rebecca.

No, you are not.

So you're goingto start work on Monday.

What're youtalking about?

You're the new

Thyme and Tideguest relations manager.

Kind of a concierge.Right, Bob?

Uh... yeah.

So what's this new job pay?

Double the salaryyou made as Town Manager.

You mean nothing?

Yeah. That's correct.

I'll take it.

I'll see youbright and early.

I got some ideas.

He's like a boomerang.

I send him to you,

and you send himright back to me.

That's correct.

That room is yours.

If you still want it,that is.

I can't believe she did that.

What?

My mom talked to you?

No.

Then what's withthe sudden change of heart?

You're tough.

I am.

Most people back down from me.

I'm not most people.

I get that.

It'll still be weirdthat I work with your mother.

No weirder than the factyou tried to put my boyfriend

in prison.

True enough.

First, last,and security deposit.

-Done.-Okay.

Well?

I'm moving out.

Yes!

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

You will.

What makes you so sure?

Because I knowhow amazing you are.

I talked to Seth.

Good.

Sorry.

Linnette, have you metmy new ranch hand?

No.

Linnette,this is Cal Pattenson.

Hi.

He's not much of a talker.

I've been tryingto figure out

a way to tell you.

Tell me what?

Someone from our pasthas contacted me.

Who?

Our child.

Our childfrom the past?

The childwe gave up for adoption.

The child I gave up.
