[narrator] Previously on Chesapeake Shores:
[Megan] Welcome home, honey! Oh.
-Jerome Trask. Yes. -[Jess] No!
-I don't know who that is. -My nemesis.
I'm gonna meet with him. I'm gonna be the best
playwright in residence that U of M has ever seen.
[Deidre] When you become part of a family like the Pecks, it's a big responsibility.
You ought to make sure
-your rights are clearly spelled out. -[Jess] A prenup.
-Trying to build a case against us. -There is no us.
-You'll hear from my attorney. -[Kevin] Luke Tatum, how you been?
-After high school you-- -Disappeared?
[Trace] That was a kiss goodbye, wasn't it?
Hey, so how was London?
The videos you sent looked amazing.
[Bree] It was.
And, wait, did you see Simon?
-Yeah, we had dinner a few times. -Really?
Mm-hm. Dinner with him and his new girlfriend.
-Ah. -It's fine.
We've both moved on, and she's really nice.
Hmm. That's nice.
-Very adult of me. -[snickers]
But I got mad at myself for being so homesick.
Really?
I was there for four days and then I, uh--
Hey, what you doing?
Don't mind me, just trying on my wedding shoes.
Yeah, naturally.
So many brides try the shoes once and they fit. Great.
But you have to wear them all day.
Pose in them, dance in them.
If you don't break them in, you're dealing with bride blisters.
Oh, ugh. Bride blisters.
Continue on, act like I'm not even here.
Okay.
Uh...
-So you were homesick? -[Bree] Yeah.
Even though the play went well, I was nervous the whole time.
I just--
I don't know, I wanted to come home. Weird, right?
No. We're here.
All right, bride. How are those shoes doing?
-Good. How do they look? -[Abby] Well, amazing.
Phenomenal.
The question, though, is can you dance in them?
-[Bree] Oh! -Whoa.
-[Abby] Can she! -Look at that.
-Whoo! -The cha-cha-cha.
Is that dancing or are you trying to kick a door down there? [laughs]
Okay, you know what?
Get it all out now because on my wedding day,
you have to be nice to me all day.
-Oh. -Understood.
And I mean it.
Not just a little bit, the whole 24 hours. Both of you.
Of course!
But we're always so nice to you.
Yeah, except when you dance.
Oh! [laughs]
-Ow! -Can you bring wine?

[vocalizing]
Ooh, something smells wonderful.
-Grandpa made breakfast. -All by himself.
I'm a grandpa of many talents.
When I was little, Grandpa used to make pancakes
and he used blueberries for eyes and a nose and a smile.
-That's what it's supposed to be! -I thought it was a ghost. [laughs]
-A smiling ghost. -Thank you.
[Mick] Mm-hm.
Good morning, family!
-Morning! -Hi.
-Pancakes! -Grandpa made them.
You still do the smiley faces.
See? She knew what it was.
[Bree] Well, I need coffee first.
I'm still on London time. I don't know if it's the morning or night.
I'm exhausted and wired at the same time.
I need my blue sweater with the pearl buttons.
My blue sweater? You can borrow it.
-We'll agree to disagree on that. -Mm-hm.
I am having lunch with the Pecks before they go home,
-and I need to look Peck-ish. -Hmm.
They still trying to convince you
-to have a European wedding? -No, they've given up.
I didn't think Dennis Peck was the kind who'd give up on anything.
Well, David put his foot down. He is a Peck too.
Girls, if you're done, time to go get ready for school.
Thanks for the Grandpa cakes, Grandpa.
You're welcome.
Have a good one, ladies.
Thank you.
I have a problem.
The Pecks left this in my room.
[Bree] What is that?
It's a prenup.
Ooh, that's what I thought.
Did you tell David?
No, he'd go ballistic.
Are you gonna tell David?
I could.
Or I could just ignore it and hope the problem goes away.
-Does that ever work? -Sometimes.
[Mick] And these are for you, Bree O'Brien.
[yawning] Thank you.
-What you doing up so early? -I have that meeting for the teaching gig.
-Oh, yeah. -[Megan] Bree.
-I think you'd be a terrific teacher. -We'll see.
The head of the department has moved my breakfast meeting
to the afternoon.
Which is so like him, already messing with my head.
-You know him? -Oh, I know him.
Jerome Trask, Bree's high school nemesis.
Wasn't he president of the debate club?
Yeah, how--? You remember Jerome Trask?
You always remember people who weren't nice to your kids.
-Thanks, Dad. -You're very welcome, sweetheart.
I better get ready for work.
My new partner is a real taskmaster.
Oh. Interesting, my new partner is exactly the same.
Not true.
[Jay] Make sure you sign up for Clean the Beach Day.
Turtles can't save themselves. They don't have hands.
Oh! Good morning, Caitlyn and Carrie Winters.
[girls] Good morning, Mr. Ross.
All right, girls, I wanna see you back here right at 4:00 for taekwondo.
-Nice. -[Abby chuckles]
Love you, bye.
And good morning, Abby O'Brien Winters.
Good morning, Mr. Ross.
I sure hope I get to spend
the day with you and the girls on the beach tomorrow.
Jay, I don't think it's a good idea.
Breathe. It's a school activity, not a date.
Clean the Beach Day?
Right. I forgot.
But if you are hinting that you want me to ask you out on a date--
[horn honks]
Saved by the bell.
Bye.
So you and your sisters are really gonna sign up for the triathlon?
-I think so. -Whew.
Impressive.
I think your mother might sign up too.
Do it!
-Ah. O'Brien overachievers, right? -Mm-hm. Fist bump.
So how you doing, honey?
Good!
No, I'm great, actually.
-Never better. -Great.
Mm-hm.
Well, I'm gonna get us some coffee.
[melancholy music playing]
[Mick] I'm happy to do that, but are you sure?
[Trace] I'm sure.
Sure of what?
Trace is going to--
I'm selling my half of The Bridge back to your dad.
You are?
I'm leaving Chesapeake Shores.
I'll let you two talk.
You don't have to do that.
I have to do it.
I need something new.
Somewhere new.
Please don't do this on account of me.
[scoffs]
I was staying here on account of you.
Everything in this place reminds me of you.
Look, I'm sorry for the things I said the other day.
Don't be.
Needed to be said.
[Trace] They did.
But you were right.
I've been chasing ghosts.
I need a fresh start.
Where?
I'll figure it out.
Take care of yourself, Abby.
[Megan] Here you go.
Thanks.
Oh. Gotta love caffeine.
It's okay if it takes a while.
What?
Being better.
[David] We need eggplant for my parmigiana.
Your parents seem to have accepted the idea of us having the wedding here.
Mm-hm. Seem to.
-Emphasis on the "seem." -Yeah.
I'll be so glad when my parents leave after lunch
to just get back to you and me.
Yes.
I had a nice long chat with your mother.
Oh, really? That's good.
Or is it?
Oh, yeah. She's excited about me joining the family.
Well, if you run out of things to talk about with my mother,
just ask her about herself.
It's her favorite subject.
Perfect. I can do that.
Or you could ask her about her Lalique collection.
She'll talk for hours and hours.
Got it.
Sorry, what did she ask you?
She asked me to take really good care of you.
-Really? -Mm-hm.
Well, that's nice.
Mm-hm.
[indistinct chatter]
Hey, Abby.
[Abby] Hey.
Thank you.
[Jess] What's a Lalique?
Pardon?
I'm doomed. David's mother collects them, and I have no idea what they are.
Well, have you tried asking Siri or Alexa or Google?
-Well, I was hoping a human could help me. -You're so old-school.
Huh. How's it going with Dad?
Actually going pretty well, surprisingly.
Uh, it was bumpy at first,
but when you take someone stubborn and won't take no for an answer--
And put her together with Dad--
Very good. You're very funny. I see what you did there. [chuckles]
Yeah, I mean, we bump heads a lot.
But I think it's good for both of us.
It gets us out of our comfort zones.
I like my comfort zone.
It's comfy.
All right, well, I gotta go to work.
With Dad.
And I gotta find out what a Lalique is.
[Taylor] I'm just saying that maybe now is not a good time
to proceed with the project.
Right, but you just had me cost out the new floor plans last week.
-I know, but-- -So, what changed?
Just, the economy and--
I know you met with Quigley's.
So you're going with another contractor. Why?
I've known Mick for years--
So it's the Dilpher business.
It's just--
Now isn't the right time.
[Abby sighs]
I just wanna take one more look at this beauty before we go.
Everything is so--
Rockwellian I think is the word you're looking for.
I was thinking more Andrew Wyethian.
Okay. Flight's in an hour.
-I'll get the bags. -I will help you.
-Should we help them? -No. They got it.
We have a wedding to plan.
Yes, we do.
Right here in Chesapeake Shores.
Do you mind?
Actually, um,
I'm relieved.
Did you have a chance to look at that paperwork I left you?
I have.
It basically just says that you're joining the Peck family.
That you're under our protective umbrella.
Yes. [clears throat]
David said you collect Lalique crystal.
Yes, I do.
-Are you a devotee? -I am.
Lalique was founded in 1888
and has endured as the ultimate symbol of French luxury.
That's well put.
Car's all packed.
[both chuckle]
I left a little something in your room.
More paperwork?
Um, call it, um...
a surprise.
So I just had that meeting with Taylor Martin.
-Yeah? -And, uh, well,
he's going with another firm.
What?
Why?
The Dilpher thing.
[sighs] That's the third job we've lost in a month.
Yeah, I know.
And that is why I think that we need to branch out.
I think we should buy a small concrete supplier.
-Or take a stake in a roofing company-- -Now is not the time to expand.
Dad, in today's market,
builders who diversify have a better chance of growing their--
Look, honey, even with the projects we've lost,
we still have a lot on our plate.
We have the Chang high-rise in Alexandria.
We have the Kincaid project here. We're doing fine.
I agree with you.
Look, I know how hard you've worked,
but you have to continue building the business, no matter what happens.
Look, we have to go look at that job site, so why don't we talk about it on the way?
-Okay. -All right.
We will figure this out.
Oh. And I've got something to show you.
New nameplate.
-President? -Mm-hm.
-When did you have this made? -Few years ago.
You knew I was gonna come work with you?
No, I didn't know. But I hoped.
So you're saying the interior wall is here?
-That's right. -Now I get it.
Hey, guys!
You know my daughter Abby? She's my new partner.
-Of course. -Hi.
She's got great ideas for the company.
-Terrific. -You must be so proud.
Could we talk to you in private?
I'm gonna go check on the Bobcat.
-I'll go with him. -No, stay here.
Anything you wanna say, you can say in front of my partner.
Well, we've heard a few things, and we have a few concerns.
I would like to talk privately, uh, about the Dilpher thing?
Would you, now?
Uh, Alex Johnson and Cole Larson.
Those are names I've heard forever.
You guys have done a lot of business with us.
Yes, we have.
There's the condo project in Alexandria.
And the apartment complex in Bethesda?
And lots of others.
That's right.
Have you ever had any problems?
Have you ever had complaints about construction or lost any money?
Has there ever been a question
whether O'Brien Construction and Development has built anything
below the highest possible standards?
No, but--
And I seem to remember
my father took a chance on you when you were starting out.
He believed in you
-before you believed in yourselves. -He did.
He did that deal with a handshake and a look in the eye.
Can't you do the same for him?
This is our business, Mick.
This is all we have.
We just can't take the chance.
[melancholy music playing]
[engine starts]
That was a great speech, Abby.
It didn't change their minds.
No.
But it sure felt good to hear it.
Hey, Luke.
Hey.
[country music playing faintly over speakers]
-That'll be all? -Yeah, thanks.
Uh, listen, you know The Bridge, right?
Mm-hm.
Yeah, well, my dad runs it now,
and he's looking for help.
-He is? -Yeah.
So I was wondering if you might be interested in working there?
Oh. Well, thanks.
But as you can see, my career's really taking off here.
Yeah, no. I know that you have a job, but--
Look, I appreciate the offer, O'Brien.
But I'm not looking for charity.
Here's the change.
[coins clink]
-See you around, Luke. -Yep.
-Hey, Dad. -[Mick] Hey, honey!
-Spring cleaning? -Yeah.
London taught me about all my fashion faux pas.
So dropping it off at the donation bin.
[Mick] Oh. That's always a good thing.
Have you decided about that teaching position?
Haven't yet. I have to meet with the head of the department.
Oh, Jerome Trask.
Your sophomore enemy.
Nemesis.
-Helen Sturges was my sophomore enemy. -Ah.
I know I shouldn't worry. It was high school, a million years ago, but...
ah, Jerome Trask, he just always made me feel less than.
Less than?
Yeah, like, I don't know, like a bookworm geek.
I thought you were proud of being one.
I was, but on my own bookworm-geeky terms.
Why didn't you talk to me about this?
I did.
No. No, you joked about it, but I didn't know it hurt you.
-If I had known-- -I didn't want you to know.
Why not?
Well, because...
I don't know. You were proud of me when I came home with straight A's,
and I didn't want you to know I was struggling.
Anyway, you had so much going on with Mom leaving and your business.
Look, honey, I know I wasn't always there for you, and I'm sorry about that.
But straight A's or no straight A's, you've always been my bright shining girl.
I love you.
Thanks, Dad.
Okay.
Luke?
Luke Tatum?
-Yeah? -Bree O'Brien.
Oh.
-Hey. -[Bree] Hi.
-How you doing? -Oh, I'm fine now.
-Now? -Yeah, after I got over my heartbreak.
Your what?
Oh, you really don't remember me. I'm, uh, Kevin O'Brien's little sister.
Wow. No, I did not recognize you.
Yeah, I know, the braces add ten pounds.
Um, I had a little crush on you.
You obviously didn't know that I existed.
Oh. I didn't know a lot of things.
You seem to have recovered nicely.
Yeah. We O'Briens are a resilient bunch.
-Hmm. -[Bree] Did you move back?
For now. Yeah.
-Welcome home! -Thanks.
What are you doing these days?
Oh, just a little of this, a little of that.
Actually, uh, your--
Someone offered me a job this morning. I don't know if I'll take it.
Well, I'm a firm believer that sometimes change is a good thing.
-Sometimes? -Yeah, sometimes it's not.
Hmm. Maybe you're right.
Maybe I'll look into it.
Hmm. Glad I could help.
"Three words, I can sum up everything I've learned about life.
It goes on."
Robert Frost.
That's right.
Cool.
[clears throat]
So nice to see you.
[Luke] Yeah.
-Um, see you around. -[Luke] See you.
[sighs]
All right.
[instructor speaking Korean]
-Hi. -Jess, what are you doing here?
I'm a good aunt.
I came to see my nieces learn to kick things.
-They're good. -They are.
I like to think they get it from me. I took karate in college.
You did?
My little secret. I thought I was pretty tough.
-Did you have a black belt? -No.
I stopped at orange.
-They have orange? -Yes.
Huh. Orange is nice.
[students exclaim]
-Did you talk to David about the prenup? -I couldn't.
She sweetened the deal.
-What is that? -Mrs. Peck--
Deidre left it in my room.
[Abby] Is this real?
[Jess] I hope not. Why do you think she left it?
-Well, it's obviously a bribe. -Yeah.
-It's a pretty good bribe, though, right? -Uh, yes.
[instructor exclaims]
-[crowd cheering] -Yay!
The legendary Bree O'Brien.
Uh, I guess.
Hello, Jerome.
Oh. It's just Jerry now.
Ah.
You're probably sick of hearing this, but I loved your book.
No. I never get sick of hearing that.
I also saw your play in Baltimore,
and it made me cry.
Oh.
-[Jerry] Yeah. -Thank you.
-Why don't I show you around? -Sure.
Um... [chuckles]
You have done such amazing things with your life, Bree.
I think there's so much you can teach our grad students.
If you'd be willing.
Sure.
-Yeah, we could talk about that. -Good! Great!
Uh, to be honest, I wasn't sure if you would come today.
Why not?
Oh, well, you know, we didn't exactly get along in high school.
We did not.
-Um-- -I didn't take it personally, mind you.
I'm sorry, you didn't-- You didn't take it personally?
Well, that you didn't like me. I wasn't very likable in high school--
Um, I didn't like you, 'cause you didn't like me first.
-What? -Yeah!
No! I--
I just had a hard time getting to know people in high school,
and you were so smart and, uh...
-And? -Just "and."
You were out of my league, as they say.
Come on. I wasn't in anybody's league.
-You don't think so? -No.
No, I just wanted to be accepted on my own terms.
I guess high school's not really the best place for that.
That is true.
Can I ask you one thing, though?
Why I didn't pick you for the debate team?
Yeah!
Well, it's because I knew you were better than I was.
Like I said, I wasn't very likable in high school.
Hmm.
And now?
I'm trying.
-Okay. -Let me show you the library.
-Sure! -[Jerry] It's very nice.
Yeah, no.
[melancholy music playing]
[sighs]
Uh, wait, Trace is leaving town? Why didn't he tell anybody?
-He told me. -Told me.
-I knew about it. -Even I knew.
Did you know?
I did not know.
So he was just gonna leave and not say goodbye?
That was the plan. But the O'Briens showed up and spoiled everything.
-We have that way about us. -That's true.
It's not just us, Trace.
I mean, look, everyone came out to see you off.
Come join us for a farewell toast.
Maybe in a bit.
You mean a lot to a lot of people. You should know that.
Why don't I go get us another round? On the house!
Trace, will you give me a hand?
-Yeah. -Thanks.
[country music playing over speakers]
Seven beers on the house.
-You really don't have to do this, Mick. -No, I want to.
You know, I know there's always been a barrier between us.
Maybe that's my fault.
Fathers and daughters, you know?
But I've always respected you.
Same here.
You know,
there are times in a person's life when everything seems to just stop.
And every road is a dead end.
But there's always another path.
And I know that you'll find yours.
Thanks.
Thanks, Mick.
Welcome. Let's get those drinks so we can make that toast to you.
Yeah, um, give me a sec. I'll be right back.
Well, hurry up because I don't wanna forget my incredibly clever toast.
This place is not gonna be the same without Trace.
Ugh, these wings could be better.
Maybe the new manager will bring you on as consultant.
Hmm, he could do worse.
[Mick] Drinks are on the way.
-Where'd Trace go? -He'll be right back.
No, he won't be back.
-What do you mean? -He doesn't like goodbyes.
[melancholy music playing]
-[Abby] Hey. -[Mick] Hey.
-[Abby] Do you mind if I join you? -Not at all.
[exhales deeply]
You know, this was my favorite time of day.
When you guys were little and safely tucked in bed,
and I'd come down here and look at the stars.
Mm. And have a glass of wine.
Hey, I needed one after putting you guys to bed.
Were we much trouble?
Good trouble.
But you were the worst.
"Tell me another story,
get me a drink of water,
tell me how the universe runs."
Which you always said, "Hard work and love."
-I did? -Mm-hm.
I was a pretty smart dad.
Well, yeah.
You were.
But I worked too hard, didn't I?
I wasn't always there for you, was I?
No.
But now that I'm a parent, I know that nothing is ever perfect,
and you lose some, you win a lot.
It all balances out.
-I hope so. -Hmm.
Do you wanna talk about it?
Do I have to?
Not if you don't want to.
I'm just sad.
But I'm okay.
I mean--
Actually, I'm better than okay. I'm--
I'm excited to see what comes next.
-That's a good feeling. -Mm-hm.
It is.
Hey, do you remember the one thing that always put me to sleep?
-Oh. The secret weapon. -Mm-hm.

[music fades]
Another beautiful day in paradise.
I have to talk to you about something.
What is it?
I think it was a really good idea getting these chickens.
-People love the farm-fresh eggs. -Thank you.
You know, I named them.
[gasps] Who are those two?
That's Original and that's Crispy.
[gasps] Stop!
I am sorry. He's normally a very nice person.
I guess you don't wanna meet Orange and Teriyaki.
Stop!
Now I'm hungry.
Mom, look! It's so clear.
It's beautiful. You've gotta put that in your collection.
Nice to see you and the girls pitching in to clean up the beach.
Of course, it's a worthy cause.
Yeah, we all gotta do our part.
-Mm, we're happy to be here. -Me too.
So how are you?
Good.
Hey, Jay, thanks for being such a good friend.
Yeah. You're worth it.
-Mr. Ross! -Hey. Yeah?
-Look what I found. -Oh.
What is it?
It's a shark's tooth.
They replace them constantly, so they're always growing new ones.
This one looks like it belongs to a sand tiger shark.
They swim around here, right?
Yeah, sometimes. But they never attack people.
-I wish I could see one. -Well, maybe you will. One day.
There are two things I'm good at dealing with, kids and sharks.
[Abby] Ah. [chuckles]
I will remember that.
And another Clean the Beach Day and the O'Briens did their part.
That's what we do.
You remember that Clean the Beach Day when Jess got so sunburnt?
Honey, you looked like a little lobster for a week.
How can I forget?
-Never forgot the sunscreen after that. -Sure didn't.
-I met with my nemesis yesterday. -Did you, now?
-[Bree] Mm-hm. -And?
Not so bad. I think I'm gonna take the job.
It's just teaching grad students, and it's for one semester so--
-That's great, Bree. -And totally unexpected.
I think I have to rethink all of my high school years. It's, um--
I wonder what else I might have gotten wrong.
-With age comes wisdom. -Mm-hm.
So he was cute, huh?
He's cute? Who--?
Oh, no. He wasn't cute.
What are you talking about? He's not cute. What? Cute? No.
Okay!
Whatever you say!
-He was so cute. -He was so cute.
[upbeat music playing]
-Yes! -[adults cheering]
Well done.
Wow.
I have to tell you something.
Do you?
I wanted to tell you earlier, but I didn't know how you'd feel.
And then I decided that even when things become difficult,
I don't wanna keep anything from you.
This sounds serious.
Your mother asked me to sign a prenuptial agreement.
Did she?
She said it was to protect me.
But the more I think about it, I think it was maybe to protect--
Them.
Right.
This is typical of my parents.
And why should you sign a prenup?
If anything, you should sign one.
When I met you, you were a fry-cook, and I owned a thriving business.
Well, not that thriving. You didn't pay me for a few months there.
Okay. Well, you were on the ground floor of what would become a thriving business.
Ah, yes. True.
What should I do? Should I sign it?
It's too late. I already burned it.
What?
-You knew about it? -Mm-hm.
I found it this afternoon under a stack of towels in the laundry room.
I'm sorry, I should have told you.
I am never going to keep anything from you ever again.
She also gave me a bracelet.
I think it was a bribe.
It's clearly not real or it would've come with armed guards.
What did you do with it?
Uh, I don't even know. The car, in the glove compartment, I think.
I didn't even wanna think about it.
It was my aunt Carol's. She and my mom wanted you to have it.
Mm. That's nice.
And it is real.
What?!
-What?! -[all laugh]
What?
That's my girl. [chuckles]
Hey, Dad.
When did you know that I was gonna come work with you?
You told me when you were 6 years old.
-What? -Mm-hm.
You told me we were gonna be partners.
Even had business cards made up.
"Abby and Daddy O'Brien."
I guess I was prophetic.
You also told me you were gonna be president of the United States.
Well, I got it half right.
-Well, you're still young. -[snickers]

[Kevin] Man, you don't quit, do you?
[Abby] Helps me relax.
Can I join you?
Got your name on it.
[exhales deeply]
Hey, um...
How long did it take you to get over your breakup with Georgia?
[sighs]
A while, sis.
A long while.
You're strong.
I know.
[Kevin] I mean it.
You know, it's never easy ending things.
No, it isn't.
You're just gonna leave without saying goodbye?
What haven't we already said to each other over the years?
I don't think we've ever said goodbye.
That's true.
Where are you going, Trace?
I don't know.
But I think there's something missing inside of me.
Tried to find it in my music, tried to find it in us.
Now I'm gonna try to find it in myself.
I wish you luck.
Kiss the girls for me.
They're gonna miss you.
I'm gonna miss them.
And you.
[wistful music playing]
You deserve the best, Abby.
Know that.
And so do you.
Maybe now we'll find it.

[narrator] Next on Chesapeake Shores:
Why don't you take O'Brien for second chair?
Time for him to get some on-the-job training.
[Megan] There are very few O'Driscolls out there. This is a find.
We own a block in the Hampton area. It would be great as an office building.
I don't wanna be in business with my brother. I'd rather you talk to me first.
[Abby] Do you like playing the eccentric millionaire?
Billionaire. I was just as eccentric when I was poor.
-[Mick] Hear you're looking for work. -[Luke] I made some mistakes.
Look, I haven't been totally straight with you.
