Previouslyon Chesapeake Shores...
I'm back now,
so let's just enjoythe time we have together.
Mom, is something wrong?
I read your book.
-And?-[door slams]
You can't publish this.
Why?
It's your truth,not the family's.
It is what happened--
at least from what I remember.
Bree, I like you,
and I don't wantto give that up.
[inspector] It looks likeyou have termites.
Termites?
It's a miracle the entire househasn't collapsed.
We'd like to buy youa new bed and breakfast.
In Tanglewood.
I asked for my old job back.
You were goingto give it all up for me,
the least I could dowas do the same for you.
I think, maybe,
this is a chance for usto build something different.
I want to go, Abby.
We'll make it work.
We always do, right?
Every relationship takes work.
I don't know what to do.
You have to take careof yourself first.
I can't share your dreamsby giving up mine.
I don't thinkI can do this anymore.
I'm sorry.
[♪]
[Abby]You brought me ice cream?
Well, ice creamand a question.
Ah. Nothing's ever free, is it?
'Fraid not.
Okay, so...
if someone wereto propose to you...
If?
Someone already did.I used to be married, remember?
Sorry. I meant when.
-When a guy proposes to you---Thank you.
To you, in the future,
how would you like himto pop the question?
Why? Are you thinkingabout asking Sarah?
No, no, no, no, no. No.
It's purely hypothetical.
Oh? Is it?
What'shypothetical?
Oh, Kevin is just wondering
how I might likesomeone to propose to me,
but, apparently,it has nothing to do
with Sarah.
Are you going to ask?
No, no.This is just hypothetical.
I just mean, like...
how, when, where?
If a guy were to propose,
would you like itin the forest?
Or would you like iton a plane?
Or would you...
...Like it on a train?
Would you like it in the rain?
I do not likegreen eggs and ham.
Don't you live someplace else?
I do, and so do you.
She has a point.
So why are you here?
I came here to talk to Abby.
[Abby] Okay, well,if you must know my opinion,
I think you can never go wrongwith the tried and true--
restaurant, ring,
and taking a knee.
[women, together]Hypothetically.
Which is great,
but it's also
non-hypothetically boring.
Oh, so you havesomething better?
You know, I neverreally intended
for this to turn intoa competition.
Good, 'causeI would win.
A proposalshould be elaborate,
and unique,and magical--
Didn't you once saythat you wanted unicorns?
When I was seven,
and since this ishypothetical,
what's wrongwith unicorns?
Kevin, it doesn't matterhow or where you ask,
the emotions are what matter.
What matters?
Oh, what are you doing here?
Leftovers.What're you doing here?
Getting absolutelyno help at all.
Hey!
I gotta go get some sleep...
...so that I can drive youback to Tanglewood tomorrow.
What? What, what, what, what?What, what?
Thanks a lot.
[♪]
Hey, it's Trace again...
I just wanted to let you knowI'm back in town.
So... you know,maybe when you're not too busy,
you can give me a call back.
I'm home.
Bye, Abby.

[Kevin] I thinkyou may have overpacked.
It was a long weekend.I had to be prepared.
For what? An impromptu ball?
Trust me, it's happened.
David packed me enough snacksfor a week.
You couldn't share?
If Connor found out,they'd be gone in an hour.
Thanks for driving me,by the way.
Oh, no problem.
Sarah and I wantedto see the place anyway,
and it gives us an excuseto get away for a few days.
For...
For what?
Well, you're goingto love it.
It's perfect,
and amazing, and...
Yeah, you keep saying that...
I do?
Mm-hmm.
-Hey.-Hey.
You okay?
You look nervous.
No. No.
Definitely not nervous.
Definitely not.
Great. Now you sound nervous.
[Bree] Guys, hey,don't leave yet.
I'm so sorry.
I've been struggling
with the transitionbetween scene four and five,
and the denouement,and I just--
[Kevin] Oh, great,
another play thatI'm not going to understand.
Relax, it just means ending,
and I think you're going toactually really like this one--
or you're goingto really love it.
Maybe.
I forgot my coffee!So I'm going to...
She's writing aboutthe family again.
If she writesa play about
the time I got lostin the garage,
I'm going to writea play about her.
I could do it.
How hard could it be?
Porter Fund?
Yeah. We might be
taking them on as clients.
Wow. Big fish.
And what about...
If you're wonderinghow I am with Trace being back,
I'm fine.
No, no, I wasjust curious about
the stock to cash option.
Dad, I'm fine.
Okay. All right.
[camera shutter clicking]
[clicking]
Dare I ask?
So, hypothetically,
Kevin might be asking Sarahto marry him this weekend,
and Jess is keepingus all updated.
So, your sister is spying?
We prefer to think of itas long-distance reconnaissance.
Did you want her to addyou to the group text?
No, no. I think I'll wait
until they make theannouncement themselves.
Bye, Uncle Kevin!
-Bye, hon.-Bye, Sarah.
Hey, guys.How about a hug for Grandpa?
-Give it up.-Bye, Grandpa!
Bye-bye.
All right, girls,let's load up.
So, how's Abby doingwith Trace being back?
I think she's actuallyfine with it.
-Really?-Yeah.
You heard aboutKevin and Sarah?
[Mick]Well, unlike everyone else,
I know when not to get involved.
Oh.
[car horn honking]
Hey.
Oh, that's so sweet.
Aw...
-Not involved, right?-No.
No.
Do you really think he's goingto propose this weekend?
Hypothetically.
Then I am hypotheticallyexcited for them--
and for us.
For us?
Yeah. I had my two-year reviewat the firm--
and they askedwhat my plans were,
and I said"partner in five years,"
and no one blinked.
Wow! Partnership track?
I know, right?
Congratulations.
Thank you.
Well, I guessus should celebrate.
Yeah, which is whyI was thinking
all of us NYU grads
could get togetherand hang out.
We haven't seeneach other since the Bar.
Yeah. Sounds like fun.
[car remote chirps]
You have a new car?
I started the celebrationa little early.
No more breakdowns,
no more calling youto pick me up,
and if you're really nice,I might even let you drive it.
-Bye.-Bye. I'll see you later.
Well, thank you so muchfor coming in, Mr. Porter,
and thank you for consideringCapital Management.
First off,please call me Derrick.
And I am looking forward
to a long relationshipwith you both--
and I'm assuming
you must bethe marvelous Ms. O'Brien
I keep hearing about?
Just Abby--
no marvelous needed.
Just, before we get started,I am going to need to access...
Our proprietary financial data?
-Of course.-Yes.
Millions of Americanstrust the Porter Fund
with theirretirement investments,
and we have grown
because we put our trustin people like you.
Well, consideringwhat I know about your fund,
it will be an honorto work with you.
Abby,
this may sound hokey,
but my father started this fund,
and he believed
that every familythat puts their trust in us
becomes part of our family, too.
So on behalfof our entire family,
thank you,
and if you need anything,anything at all,
please...
call me personally.
Shall we get started?
We shall.
Mom, stop reading "The Times."
It doesn't matter where I amon the bestseller list.
What matters is my meetingwith the Kodiak Theater Group,
which is supposed to startin two minutes.
According to their assistant,they're very prompt.
[gasps]
-Oh, you moved up a spot.-What?
Look.
[Bree squeals]
I have to text Simon.He's going to be so proud.
So it doesn't matter, huh?
Oh, no, it totally matters.
The Kodiak Groupmust really want your play
if they're willing to come here.
Yeah...
Chances of themoffering me anything
are still really slim, though.
Then how many other producersare there?
Two.
Okay, then,
don't worry.
All you need is one.
Funny, Dad saidthe exact same thing.
Yeah.
We've been talkinga little bit about it.
Ms. O'Brien?
-Wow, they are prompt.-Yeah.
Oh! I got it.
Yeah, I'm coming.
Yes!
Oh! I love you!
-I'm so happy.-I love you.
[Jess] You brought me a rose!
Oh, and I smashed it!
You brought me a roseand I smashed it.
It's okay.We can get more.
You picked me a rose.
Thank you.Isn't this place amazing?
Just perfect.
Oh, I've got to get back,but we'll talk later, okay?
Okay.
-See you guys.-I love you.
I love you.
Um, yes.
I will check you guys inin just a second.
I'll be right back, okay. Hi.
It really does seem amazing.
And awesome--
and...
I'm actuallya little bit surprised.
It's just thatshe said it so many times...
You got me a rose?
Yes, I did.
-Agh.-What?
Thorn.
I love you.
I know.
No, you're supposedto say "I love you" back.
Fine, be that way.
Say it.
-I love you, too.-Aw.
[♪]
Trace.
I heard you were home.
How're you doing?
I'm good. I'm good.
Just got in late last night.
You know,I've been trying to call Abby,
but we haven't had a chanceto connect.
Is she around?
I was hopingwe could talk for a sec.
You know, Trace,
I'm sure Abby got your message,
and if she wants to talk,she'll let you know.
Right.
No, I get it...
Can you just make sureshe gets these?
Of course.
Welcome back.
Thanks, Mick.
That was Trace.
These are for you.
I didn't know whether you'd wantto talk to him or not.
Thanks, Dad.
I'm not sure yet.
So...
how bad is it with Dilpher?
He's poured the foundations
for just aboutevery structure I've ever built.
I just got a heads upfrom two city managers
there's going to bean investigation.
Seem like you can't trustanyone these days.
Derrick Porter?
Yeah, his numbers are...
just strange.
Right now, everything'sjust a little confusing.
[Jess] Get housekeepingon early check-in.
Tour bus coming at 3:00, and...
I'll get on the reservations.
We need to deal withthat reunion coming to town,
and I'll startturn-down service.
I don't know how you do it.
Everything okay?
Perfect and awesome.
So, do you guys haveanything special planned today?
Kevin said he has plans.
I do hope so.
And it includesa picnic lunch
that he made,
which I'm hopingdoesn't kill me.
David helped meput it together.
Okay, David putthe whole thing together.
Great. Then todaywill be amazing.
Bye.
[shutter clicking]
Okay...
-Bree...-Mm-hmm?
About this play of yours...
What?
Well, we've just allbeen getting along lately.
Mm-hmm?
And we've been spendinga lot of time together,
which is nice, right?
And it was your bookthat got us all talking again,
which is also very nice.
Mm-hmm.
So, honey, we just wantto know about your play.
That's not about us,too, is it?
Hmm. Um...
Not exactly.
Hey.
I hear that last storm
really did a numberon your house.
The house survived,
but a tree decidedto take out the gazebo.
That's too bad.
So, how long are you here for?
No, I'm just curious.
I read that your tourgot extended,
and I figured you'd only be herea few days before flying out.
I missed you, too, Mick.
Look, right now,
I'm just...
trying to fix what's broken.
Yeah, but you don't seehow she feels
when you're not here.
Abby's my daughter, Trace.
I'm just looking out for her.
I'm not leaving again.
I'm here to stay.
Well, I guess we'll see.
I guess we will.
Thanks for coming by, Mick.
...submitted to evidenceon January 2nd.
We also havetwo additional reports--
one by the EPAdated June 5th of last year...
This is going to take ussome time to review.
Yeah, you're right.
Okay, why don't you startwith that,
and then let's meet in two days
to discuss our next meetingafter a cursory review.
I agree.
Two days.
You are making uswork for this.
Yeah. Thank you.
I didn't really mean itas a compliment.
[text alert buzzing]Okay.
My brother and his girlfriend--
he's about to propose.
And you hired a PIto take pictures?
Something like that.
If you weren't so busytrying to save the world,
I'd hire you in a second.
[Sarah] I feel like Goldilocks.
We hike a cliffand it's too high,
we try to canoebut it starts to leak,
and now we're picnicking.
And it's just right?
It's pretty close.
Yeah?
Okay, well...
now that we're here,
and it's just right,
or pretty close to just right,
there's been somethingthat I've been...
wanting to ask you.
Oh! Oh!
Oh!
[Kevin]So much for pretty close.
[Sarah] You know,
you're not reallya picnic kind of guy, hey?
Yeah, I guess not.
That's all right,neither am I.
That's not whatyour dad said.
You asked my dad?
Uh...
Kev, are you okay?
I mean, you just seemdisappointed...
by something,
and pretty close or not,
I'm havingan amazing day with you.
Yeah.
Perfect and awesome.
Not now, John.
Look, if you thinkyou can just come down here...
It wasn't about that.
It's not about the tourfor me, John, okay?
It's bigger than that.
I need to be here.
No, I can't...
Look, I'm done.

Trace Riley?
I heard you might be around.
I guess your music thingdidn't work out?
Everything's working outjust fine.
Welcome back.
Emma, if you wantthose extra shifts,
you've got to earn it.
Sorry. It won'thappen again.
I cannot believe you said it--
Yeah, well, it was immediatelystricken from the record,
but I said itloud and clear.
Come on.
"The truth?"
[all together]"You can't handle the truth!"
[laughing]
I'm so, so jealous.
I'm surprisedyou're not doing litigation.
You spentall of law school
talking about how you weregoing be Clarence Darrow.
Or Judge Judy.
[laughing]
Actually, Connor issingle-handedly taking on
United Metals.
Well, I feel sorry for themonce you guys get to trial.
Yeah, yeah...
Well, we win bynot going to trial, so...
To billable hours!
And to ustaking over the world!
Cheers.
[Paul] I can't believethey're shutting me down.
It's wrong, Mick.
We've always engineeredeverything above code.
So why are theygoing after you?
I have no idea.
Maybe it's an old grudge,maybe jealousy,
maybe Venusis in retrograde--
I don't know.
This isn'ta witch-hunt, Paul.
They must havefound something
or they wouldn'tbe doing this.
Well, they ain'tgoing to find anything.
Why don't you justtell me what you did?
[sighs]
Look, Mick, we've walkedevery site together,
you knew whatI was doing.
That's not an answer.
Look, we'rein this together.
We're partners.
Are you insinuatingthat I knew?
Knew what, Mick?
Like I said before,
we've always engineeredeverything above code.
What's your line again?
That's right,
"It's just business."
Abby...
You haven't talked to him yet?
No.
I don't know what to say.
I mean, I knowwhat I want to say,
but when I'm standing therein front of him, I--
my brain gets all jumbled.
So you're not gettingback together, huh?
I made a decision.
Sounds likeyour mind's made up, honey.
It doesn't meanit's easy.
Okay, but I don't want somebodywho just understands my vision,
I need somebodywho can hone it.
-[Ted] I can't agree more.-[Bree] Okay.
[Bree] So, for example,
the transitionbetween scene four and five?
It's brilliant.
Okay.
Uh, how about the ending?
I loved that part, too.
It's my favorite partof your play.
Okay.
Thank you so much, Mr. Steiff.
I'm going to think aboutyour proposal.
In the meantime, I do have to--
You know...
Right.You're closing.
So sorry.I'm just such a huge fan and I--
[Bree] Thank you, thank you,thank you so much,
-Bye.-Okay, bye.
-Bye.-Bye.
Well, he seems very friendly.
Teddy Steiffis a fluffy pillow.
Too soft to hold shape.
I just want somebodyI can trust.
Yes.
Thanks for watchingthe store, Mom.
No problem.
It gave me a nice little breakfrom the mayor
and his opinions on art.
So, my play...
Mm-hmm?
[laughs]
...is not about the family.
Oh, Bree.
Thank you.
-Really?-Mm-hmm.
Hummingbirds in the Atticby Bree O'Brien.
Yup.
It's about a bookstore owner
who is trying to findher voice as a writer
while dating a British author.
So, basically,it's about you and Simon?
No, definitely me and Simon.
Okay.
I can't wait.
It's a lot harderto get engaged than I thought.
Hypothetically.
Yeah.
You know, Georgia and Inever really got engaged.
It just sort of happened.
This time, I wanted itto be different.
I wanted it to be perfect.
There's no such thing.
You and David seem to bein perfect sync.
Yeah, well...
not here.
I hate it here.
Everywhere I turn,
I see David's parents--
and not in a good way.
Well, becausethere isn't a good way.
It's just--
this place will never be ours...
it's a job not a family.
Have you talked to Davidabout it?
No, I don't think I can.
He's just so happy.
How can I ask himto give up his dream?
But you and Sarah...
you've got to make that work.
It's right, Kevin.
You love her, we love her.
Perfect or not--
just ask.
[Sarah] Hey.
-Hey.-Hey.
You making S'mores?
Yeah.
Would you like one?
Yes, please.

It's goodto have you back.
How was it?
It was...
it was good.
-I bet.-It was good.
You writing something new?
Maybe, I don't know.
How about you?
How's the family?
They're--they're all good.
I mean,nothing really changes here.
[laughs]
Trust me, that's notsuch a bad thing.
That's easy for you to say.
You've been everywhere.
Yeah, when I should havejust stayed right here.
Have you talked to Abby yet?
I've tried.
Well...
I don't know if you're stillmuch of a runner...
but...
I hear Remmey Beach is nice.
Around 7:00 a.m.
-Thanks, Connor.-No problem.
When I told you thatI wanted to come here,
with Jess,
I wasn't being entirelyhonest with you.
Eggplant.
What?
I haven't beenentirely honest with you either.
When we both grabbed
that eggplantat the farmer's market,
I did it on purpose.
So you stolethe eggplant from me?
Well, I mean,you are mildly cute,
and I figured it would give ussomething to talk about...
You're telling methis now why?
Because I don't want thereto be any secrets between us.
And...
I love you...
and I love that we're here--
Okay, before we go on--
mildly cute?
Yeah. Mildly.
Listen, Sarah...
I love you,
and...
the real reasonwhy I wanted to come here...
[loud crashing, shouting]
[woman] I was justtrying to get through.
[David] Okay, okay,
we're going to have to remakeeverything.
Call in the night staff,tell them it's an emergency.
I'm on it.
Are you okay, David?
Yeah. Um...
No, no.
Not even close.
But don't tell Jess.
I don't wantto ruin this for her.
[♪]
-[knocking on door]-[Megan] Hey.
Hey.
I got Carrie and Caitlynsome new leotards.
Oh, great.
They're still at practice,they'll be home any minute.
Good.
Are you still working?
Oh, yeah.
Well, you wantsome good news?
I read Bree's play,
and it's not aboutthe family this time.
Well, that's a relief.
Although,when she told me
it had a "HappilyEver After" ending,
I figured as much.
What? You don't thinkit's possible?
No, I think it's possible.
I just think thatthe O'Briens are complicated.
Well, it's going to getcomplicated for Bree.
She said she wrote itabout her and Simon.
Let me know what you think.
So do you think he's goingto propose soon or what?
Well, I hope so,
or else we've all wasteda lot of screen time on him.
-Yeah.-Mm-hmm.
Well, it is always nice
when the author
is standing nextto a picture of the author.
I know you...
You're Hannah Urso.
I saw your last playat the National Theatre in DC.
It was amazing.
This is my sister, Abby.Abby, this is Hannah Urso.
Nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you...
I'm actually going to Sally's.
Can I get either of youanything?
-[Bree] No, I'm good.-I'm good. Thank you.
-Bye-bye.-Bye-bye.
So, what are you...
I just signed on
as the resident directorat the Baltimore Rep,
and I wanted to see youpersonally.
You're at the Rep?
And...
I want to direct your play.
Cool.
Cool! Yeah.
Well, we should talk.
We could do that,
and I could pitch you
on how well I thinkwe'd work together,
or...
I could give yousome of my thoughts,
and then you couldlet me know...
If we're a good fit?
Yeah.
I like that.
Mm-hmm.
Okay, so...
a couple of bumps.
Your transition
between scenesfour and five...
Oh, it doesn't work.
I just--
there's tonal differencesbetween...
And Jace's angst
and Melanie's desirefor acceptance.
Yes!
And I'm just not sure
I understand what Melaniereally wants in a relationship.
Neither do I!
Let's get to work.
Well, at least Breeis getting what she wants.
Aren't you?
I don't know.
I thought so,
but I becamean environmental lawyer
because Uncle Thomasoffered me a job
when no one else would--
and for the pasttwo years,
I've just been saying yesto people and to jobs, and...
lately, I've been thinkingif I had stuck it out
and stayedin the corporate world...
what might have been.
Well, that's funny,
because I've been thinkingI should've gotten out.
Hey, have you heardof the Porter Fund?
Yeah.
Okay, so they're paying out
dividends based on earnings
that only seem like
they're coming frombringing in new investors.
A Ponzi scheme.
Yeah...
I don't know...
but I will deal with it--
just likeI deal with everything else.
Like you and Trace?
Yeah, I guess.
Lately, I just feel like
I need to go back to whoI used to be for a little while.
Yeah, sometimes,
I want to go backto the old me, too, but...
I left him in Baltimore.
Well, you should look him up.
You didn't sayanything, did you?
No, but you probably should.
You think so?
It's worth a try.
I guess.
Well, thank youfor coming.
Yeah. Thanksfor having us.
Well, I am sorryto see you go.
Me too.
Kevin,
there is no such thingas perfect--
and you don'tneed perfect
because you have each other.
So do you.
Tell David how you feel.
Like, for real?
Yeah, like, for real.
It'll be okay, Jess.
Okay, a picture for the road.
Wait? You haven'tgot enough already?
What?
I love you, Jess,but you're a horrible spy.
I don't knowwhat you're talking about.
Bye.
Drive safe.
[♪]
You look likeyou could use a drink.
How can you tell?
Because otherwisethis music is unbearable.
I'll take a beer.
I liked your song.
That's so embarrassing.
I never sing for anybody.
Why not?
You sing from the heart.
That's not always easy.
You don't seem to haveany trouble with that.
For me, writing from the heartis the easy part.
Following itis a whole different thing.
Story of my life, too.
Emma Rogers.
Trace.
So you're a singer-songwriter?
Server-Songwriter.
Like I said,I don't sing for people.
Maybe you should--
especially this song.
Yeah, well...
don't count on it.
Okay, so, here's the deal.
I love you, a lot,
but you already know that,
and I'm saying it becauseI like saying it. A lot.
I do, too,
but there's something elsethat we should talk about.
Yes. How we love each other.Totally.
That's not what I wantto talk about.
I want to talk about...
being miserable--
because I am miserable--
I hate it here.
I do, too.
It reminds me of your parents,
and beingin your parents' house,
which is unfair...
No. No, no, Jess.
I'm agreeing with you.
-You are?-Yes.
Completely.
Oh.
Okay, then...
I'm going to skip ahead.
Um...
I think we should go backto Chesapeake Shores
and try to rebuild our inn,
because it's ours,
and it's our home,
and we built it, and--
I think it's a great idea.
-Really?-Yeah.
Thank you. I'm...
Thank you.
I know. I know.

Well, I'm goingto need to know
how much exposureI'm going to have.
All right, well you--
Okay, good. Thank you.Appreciate it.
-Hey.-Hey.
So here's whatI find amazing.
For two hours,
Carrie and Caitlynhave been doing back flips
and they still haveenough energy
to run up the stairsand do homework.
I threw my knee outjust watching them.
Is this for my knee?
Stomach, knee--take your pick.
Oh, boy.
You know, I'm beginning to getwhy the kids love this so much.
Mm-hmm.
I don't knowif you remember,
but they got this from us.
That's right.
Sunday-night sundaes.
Mm-hmm.
That was nice.
Yes, it was.
Um...
Connor, we need you
to formally acceptour timeline for review.
So we can meet againin two months?
Maybe three.
Yeah, what about after that?
Excuse me?
The thing is...
I can win this.
I'm sorry.What did you just say?
I immediately move
to take this to courtat the earliest possible date.
I thought we weregoing to continue
the discovery process.
Not anymore.
I have never seen anyonetake longer to fix a flat.
Well, maybe if we didn't takethe scenic route...

Abby... hey.
The flowers were beautiful,
thank you.
I'm so sorry
that I haven't had a chanceto return your call.
I just-- it's been...
No, no, I get it.
I've been busy, too...
Wow, it's...
it's good to see you.
Yeah, you too.
So you're back.
Yeah... yeah.
The label wantedto extend the tour,
but I was done.
I'm so happyyou followed your dreams.
I...
I want you to have it all.
Yeah, I know.
But what if...
what if I don't want that...
anymore?
Trace, please...please don't.
I can't go onthat roller coaster again.
We just keep doingthe same thing.
And I can't live my lifelike that.
And I don't want to either,
which is why I came home.
But you didn't have to.I didn't ask you to.
I know, I know,
and I love you for that.
But I'm here to stay.
It'll be different this time.
Yeah, but we keepjust having
the same conversation.
Every time we do this,it just hurts more--
and I can't hurt any morethan I already have, so--
Abby,
I never meant to hurt you.
I know.
But I can't go back.
And neither should you.
