Re-sign with me,
you'll be joining our biggest act, on tour.
At what clubs?
Not clubs, arenas, and it's for six months.
My father is Dennis Lyle Peck.
You're a "Boston Peck"?
Your family owns everything.
Now my dad is sick
and he wants me to take over, just till he recovers.
Dad, I've been doing research for Uncle Thomas.
[Mick]: Connor,
it doesn't bother me that you're working for my brother.
What bothers me
is that you've been so secretive about it.
I didn't know how you'd react.
Well, then that says a lot about us, doesn't it?
Well, I've been thinking a lot about medical school lately.
I don't want to be a doctor,
but I love helping people, and I love medicine,
so I'm gonna be a paramedic.
[Abby]: This is too big of an opportunity, Trace.
You will regret it.
I'll regret it.
Abby. Abby.
I love you, Abby,
I-I want to spend the rest of my life with you.
Trace, I love you, too.
[Trace]: I don't know if I can handle losing you again.
[Abby]: I can't handle losing you, either.
But if we were meant to be, then this isn't the end.
The mighty oyster...
spending its life preserving the Chesapeake Bay watershed.
This glorious bivalve mollusk,
15 million years in the making,
is responsible for all of creation--
Dad. Dad, Dad.
I think you lost them.
Nonsense!
What did you learn about oysters today, Caitlyn?
I love you, Grandpa.
[laughing] Oh, that's somethin'.
All right, it's picture time.
Come on, girls. Let's go! Come on, come on, come on!
-How'd the oyster talk go? -One of my best ever!
Seemed to really get it today.
Oh. Didn't hear a word, did she?
No. Not a one.
"Everyone had been sent to be without dinner.
"The arguing had been going on most of the night.
In her room, three doors down, she..."
Bree. It's a party. Take a break.
Oh! Jess?
Can you make sure the girls' artwork doesn't fly away?
Right after one more cupcake.
Kev and Sarah,
I think you guys have done enough dishes.
Ah, we were just gonna finish up--
...The last of them.
Okay, well, have a cupcake.
Boardwalk with a hotel.
You owe me $2,000.
Lucas, your dad's almost here.
Time to pack up.
Lucas lost.
Well, Carrie, I'm sure he played a very good game.
Ahh.
And now how did Mick's story go?
Uh, about as well
as it went with us when we were kids.
Ahh. You must be
really excited now,
because Trace is coming home.
Yes, I know.
That is why I am planning three weeks that are perfect.
Just dancing and picnics and swimming...
Uh, as long as nothing goes wrong.
-Hey. -Hi.
Hi. Ooh! Is this for me?
Yes.
Nice! Yeah, thanks for watching Lucas for me.
I owe you a lunch.
Oh, well, it's Carrie you should thank.
All right. Fine.
I guess you can come, too, maybe.
[both laughing]
All right! Guys, let's go.
It's time for the photo.
Come on, buddy.
Come on, let's go.
-See you in a bit. -All right.
What are they doing?
Hey! Wait! What are you d--
[Abby]: All right, everyone! Get in line!
Chop-chop! Come here. Right now.
Immediately!
And "cheese!"
[kids]: Cheese!
[laughing] So good!
♪ Livin' with my mistakes
♪ I had to take a fall...
[performance continues indistinctly]
Crowd's incredible tonight, huh?
Yeah!
I bet you're ready for a break.
After three months?
Yeah, I miss my bed. I miss sleep!
What about you, what do you miss the most?
Everything.
Yeah, well, wish "everything" well,
from all of us.
Will do.
♪ I had to take a fall...
Nice set tonight, guys.
You certainly earned your time off.
So you're getting me some new music soon, right?
Yeah, Mark, working on it.
That's what I want to hear.
Three months,
and you still come out to watch Donovan's set?
He's one of the reasons I do what I do.
Besides, I love hearing him play.
I mean, every night,
he brings something different.
[♪]
[crowd cheering]
Whoo!
Thank you, Austin!
Well, I figure we got time for one more...
so, uh,
kinda thought I'd bring out Mr. Heartthrob
to help me sing his new song, "The Way I Feel Right Now."
Give it up for Trace Riley!
[crowd cheering]
I guess that makes you
"something different."
[laughs]
[cheering escalates]
Good to see you again, Austin!
Two, three, four!

All right, girls. Time to go.
Girls!
Two days till the oyster festival!
[girls]: Yay!
There sure are
a lot of Chesapeake Shores traditions.
Ahh, Carrie darlin',
as many as there are stars in the sky.
But there will be one less
if I can't save the wish fountain
from our beloved mayor
and his beloved plan
to trim the budget and ruin our town.
The petition didn't work, Gran?
Which is why we are now doing a wish-in,
and I have signed you all up for volunteering.
That is technically not how volunteering works, Gran.
There's no "volunteer" volunteering
in with the O'Brien family.
[Mick]: Well, maybe you should just
chain yourself to the fountain.
[Nell]: Well... sure enough, it has been considered.
Low on eggs again, are we?
And flour.
I put sugar and basil in the basket, just in case.
Thank you.
Cute outfit.
It's not cute, it's a uniform.
Today's my first day of field training in Baltimore.
Aww! That's cute!
-[girls]: We agree! -All right.
Hey! You okay?
Yes. Why wouldn't I be okay?
Of course, I'm okay.
I'm great.
I'm better than great.
I'm great.
[hushed]: She misses David.
I miss his cooking!
Oh!
I forgot to send her
the artwork for the oyster festival.
Mom, wow.
Gosh, did you make these? They're amazing.
[Megan]: Thank you! I did.
And this year, the mayor wants everyone to attend.
Got it?
"Our beloved mayor."
[Mick]: The very one!
Well, I don't mind taking these to Jess.
Oh, that'd be great. Thanks, Bree.
[Mick]: Hey, how's the manuscript coming?
Oh, good.
I'm a little distracted.
On top of the whole bookstore-moving thing,
I just found out that a theatre company in Baltimore
is mounting my first play.
[Megan]: Bree!
Congratulations!
[Mick]: You want us to come?
I have been invited by the director
to speak to the cast on opening night.
I'll let you know if it's any good.
Bree... don't forget your manuscript.
[Connor]: Oh, hey, Dad? Can I catch a ride with you
to Baltimore?
As long as we don't talk business.
Bye, guys.
[overlapping]: Bye!
All right, girls, let's grab our bags. We got to go.
Have a good day at school!
[girls]: Thank you!
Connor is presenting the final settlement offer,
wrapping up all environmental issues
for the Trust.
And you seem relieved.
Yes.
And with Trace coming home,
I could use a little bit more time.
You don't have to worry, you know.
[sighs deeply]
Well, it's just with
how things ended, and then didn't end,
and now we're starting things back up again, but...
he's gonna be gone, and we have no time together--
Honey.
Everybody always worries about finding more time...
That's never the issue.
It's what you do with what you have.
Well, you sound like Gran.
I do, don't I?
Mm-hmm!
I learned from the best!
[♪]
Hey, Donovan.
Thanks again
for bringing me on last night.
Appreciate it.
What can I say?
You earned it.
Nice job last night, Trace. Donovan.
Mark.
I got some good news.
You know Nashville Country Magazine?
Of course. Why?
They want to do a piece on you.
Possible cover.
Seriously?
They're bringing Ben Mallin in to do the interview,
tomorrow at the Bridge.
Tomorrow?
Trace, I know you're looking forward to your break,
but this is important.
[exhales] I mean, you keep saying you want new music,
but when am I supposed to write it?
And what about the band?
Way ahead of you.
The article's on you and the band,
but they're covering you first.
Don't worry, Trace.
It shouldn't take too long.
Donovan.
Mark.
All right. So, uh...
where you headed?
You going back home to see your family?
Me? Nah.
"Time off"
are the two words that get me into the most trouble.
No, I was thinking of doing some acoustic gigs
before we start back up in Dallas.
By yourself?
That's life on the road.
[Donovan chuckles]
Donovan?
That road ever lead you
to a place called Chesapeake Shores?
[♪]
[Jess]: Why would anyone come to a romantic B&B to find love?
[gasping deeply]
[Jess]: Oh, you two are so lucky!
I don't know what it is.
There's times when I'm okay,
when I'm not thinking
about his eyes or his smile
or the way he shuffles when he's nervous,
and then, suddenly, everywhere I look...
[Bree, gushing]: Oh...
[Jess]: Oh, that's just not fair.
Oh.
Right.
Um...
Oh, shoot! Jess, I'm so sorry.
I got to run back to the bookstore.
My publisher wants chapter 22,
and I left my computer at the bookstore.
We'll talk later!
Okay. 'Kay. Bye!
Oh! Bree! Bree!
Bree! Your book!
[♪]
"Kacie looked down at her small, white toes
"and wiggled them
"in the cold, wet moonlit grass,
"feeling the evening breeze off the water
"chill her skin.
"Patiently waiting, patiently hoping,
patiently praying for her mom to come home."
[Douglas]: So, Jess has no idea that when you visit the B&B,
you check out her fridge to see what's missing?
Not yet. Is that wrong?
[laughs] Well, no, not exactly.
But I got to tell you,
after working on this deal with you for three months,
I pretty much got you pegged.
It is the tale of two Abbys.
There is the family one and the business one.
Now, the first Abby,
she gives everything to her family.
And the second?
Uh, well, let's just say
that I am pretty relieved
the second Abby's on my side.
And how many Douglases are there?
Oh, sadly, only one.
I got thank you again for watching Lucas for me.
Of course. Carrie had fun.
Although, Lucas does owe her
$2,000 for landing on Boardwalk.
Ooh! And there's the second Abby.
[Connor]: This will essentially put to bed
all environmental objections over the Trust.
And end all 14 lawsuits you and Thomas filed?
Uh, 15.
[Mick]: 15.
You know, I'm becoming
very good friends with your process server.
Don't spend too much time with him.
He'll bill you for the hours.
[laughs]
[Connor]: Okay. I'll give you guys the room.
Just so you know, this is our best/last offer.
If it's not signed as is,
there's two more lawsuits ready to file.
I expect no less.
I'll walk you out, Connor.
Okay.
-Bye, Connor. -Bye, Abby.
[Mick sighs]
Hey, Dad? You're not mad at Connor
for working for Uncle Thomas, are you?
No. No, I think he's a good lawyer.
I just wish I'd hired him first.
[laughs] Have you ever told him that?
Abby, there's an old O'Brien saying--
"Never compliment the enemy whilst in battle."
Okay, Dad. Whatever you say.
Wonderful...
and terrifying, and--
And you loved it?
Yeah. It was exactly
what I want to be doing.
It was exactly how I imagined it.
Well, I remember my first call.
I accidentally left the radio on,
so everybody just heard me talk my way through the fire.
"Is that door hot? Do I smell smoke?
Where should I look next?"
[laughs] Oh, no.
Oh, yes.
And for the rest of the month,
all I heard from the guys at the station was,
"Should I wash my hands? Am I thirsty?
Did I like that muffin?"
Ouch.
Well, I, uh...
hum.
You hum?
Yeah. I hum.
"The Army Song."
"And the Army goes rolling along..."
I used to do that when I was in combat,
to keep myself calm,
I guess.
I didn't notice I was doing it, though,
because I was in the zone.
So it was perfect.
I know what perfect feels like.
[♪]
Hey, boy. Hey, boy.
[♪]
Abby.
Trace.
You didn't have to do all this, you know.
I wanted to.
Well, it must've taken a really long time.
Uh, three days, four hours, and...
52 minutes.
What's in there?
The box there.
It's just a little something...
for...
...you.
And the girls.
These are for Carrie... and these are for Caitlyn.
Trace, you even got the sizes right.
[laughs]
We talked about that on the phone
a month ago.
Well, they gotta fit, don't they?
[sighs]
Abby, um...
when I left,
it was...
[sighing]
...it was hard.
I know.
And I'm sorry.
But you had to go do this, and...
[exhales deeply]
I didn't know how else to let you go.
I get it...
but I'm back now,
and nothing's changed.
So let's just enjoy the time we have together.
22 days
and 14 hours and 11 minutes.
[chuckling]
That is why I have made
an incredibly thorough list
of all the things that we can do in that time.
Of course, you made a list.
It's an incredibly thorough list.
-Oh. Okay. -Mm-hmm.
And what's first?
[♪]
Let's just keep doing that.
Mm-hmm.
[♪]
Jess, you make a fine breakfast.
Love that basil quiche.
Hey.
I have a question.
Did you ever write a song about someone,
and then they found out it was really about them?
Most of the time, I wanted them to.
And what did they do? When they found out?
Some tried to kiss me, some tried to kill me.
Personally, I prefer the first kind.
Right now, you look like
you want to do the latter.
Growing up,
a lot of bad things happened in my life,
but I've been okay with living with them,
because they were secret,
my secrets.
And now...
somebody wrote about 'em?
Yeah.
And I'm freaking out.
But thanks for listening.
You've been a big help.
[sighs]
[♪]
You go there. Trace-- yeah.
Yeah, this is good.
Yeah, yeah. Look at that.
I love that.
Hair. Thank you.
Yeah.
Switch out the guitars. Yes, yes, yes.
This is good. This is good.
More energy. Yes!
[Mark]: What do you think?
I think it looks great.
You know, we might even be able to get a cover here.
Thanks you, Ben. I owe you one.
Yeah, you do. [chuckles]
Yeah?
Oh, we got it.
Trace?
[Ben]: I'm gonna send everybody home right now.
Play nice with Ben.
He can really help you.
Yeah, I know.
Good.
[Ben]: Yeah, you're gonna be happy.
I'll send you the pics. Okay, I'll see ya.
All right!
That just leaves the interview.
Shall we?
How about here?
-That's good. -Yeah. Here you go.
-Thanks. -You're welcome.
[Trace clears his throat]
Okay.
So...
Small-town boy
makes it big in country music
second time around.
What brought the band back together?
We just started writing again,
found a way to do it on our terms.
Nice.
The first time out, you and, um...
you got some airplay,
but then you and your band disappeared.
What-- What happened?
Well, um...
you know, e-every band has their growing pains.
I heard it was an accident.
We had a rough patch,
but everyone's fine and we've moved past it.
You know, right now, we're just focused on the present.
Which includes living in Chesapeake Shores,
not Nashville, right?
Well, this is where I grew up.
You know, I'm running a business.
It's always been a dream of mine to own my own club,
give something back.
Like you said-- small-town boy makes good.
So, it has nothing to do with rekindling an old flame?
Abby?
Abby...
O'Brien Winters.
High-school sweetheart, single mother of two.
How does she feel about you being on tour?
Um, w-- [stammers] Wait.
Would you mind turning that thing off for a minute?
Yeah, sure.
[recorder beeps]
Ben, when I agreed to do this interview,
I was under the impression that it was gonna be about me
and my music...
not my personal life.
Trace, it's all about you, right?
Your fans wanna know.
[door opens]
Right.
Long time no see, Ben.
Ohh... Donovan Wylie!
[chuckling] In the flesh.
Yeah.
Hey, you know,
why don't we just pick up later?
-[cell ringing] -Uh, yeah.
Cool?
Yeah. Totally cool, yeah.
[Ben]: Hello? Yeah?
Never seen you up before noon.
Because, normally,
I don't get to sleep before midnight.
Though I am enjoying the inn,
and the young girl they got running the place.
She's, uh...
Unique?
Actually...
pretty entertaining.
Do like what I see, though.
Nice place.
Yeah, thanks.
Uh, you know, after being gone for so long,
you start noticing
all the little things that need fixing.
That's why I never come off the road.
Don't got to fix what you're never gonna see again.
[pours a drink]
Okay. 11...
All right.
How's the reading going?
Great! Halfway there.
You already working on a new deal?
Yes, it's a pharmaceutical merger
with a lot of complicated stock options.
Ooh. That sounds like fun.
Mm-hmm.
Well, I don't know about you guys,
but I could take break.
Wanna grab some lunch?
Uh, sure. Yeah.
[phone ringing] Just one second.
Hi. J-Jess-- Whoa, slow down.
Slow down. What's wrong?
Uh, what book are you talking about?
If you have a problem with Bree, you need to talk to Bree.
No. Jess, listen to me. Just take a deep breath...
Still want to get lunch?
[laughs] Yeah, of course.
As long as you're treating.
[chuckles]
You seeing what I'm seeing?
I sure am.
[Connor]: Don't you have your own kitchen?
I do... but I don't bake,
and I told Sarah
that I would bring some by the fire station.
You thinking of working in Baltimore?
Uh... I don't know.
Maybe.
Or maybe... here?
What?
[laughing]
You are so done.
Done?
[laughs]
Oh, you mean me-- No. No.
No, no, no, no. You got the wrong idea.
Sarah and I are just having fun.
Is that what you're telling yourself?
Because if you are, you are lying.
I'm not ready for anything serious, okay?
What, is it because of
what happened to you and Georgia?
What? I don't mean to pry.
No. No, it's okay.
It might have a little to do with
what happened between me and Georgia,
but we were engaged.
I thought that that was that, but...
But you don't want to make the same mistake twice?
[sighs heavily]
I'm worried that I'm making a mistake, too,
with Danielle.
What? Thought you guys were good.
Thought so, too, but...
Sometimes... [sighing]
I don't know, I'm just not so sure.
[paper bag rustles]
[♪]
So how did it go today?
Did you have fun getting your picture taken?
[laughs] To be honest with you,
I'm not all that comfortable in front of the camera.
It's a little awkward.
What about the interview?
Well, that's a whole other thing.
You know, this guy Ben Mallin is really digging for a story--
I think I see him!
And I just can't wait for it to be done,
so I can focus on you and the girls.
That will be nice.
Trace! Trace!
Can you sign this?
Yeah. Yeah, sure.
[girls giggling]
[Trace]: You saw us at the art walk.
You were so great.
[Trace]: Cool. Here you go.
Thank you so much!
[giggling continues]
[chuckles]
Sorry about that.
Uh, just us.
Um, anyways...
uh, tonight,
I have to go to the beach
to help set up for the oyster festival,
and then I was thinking
that we could drive to Easton
and go dancing.
Honestly?
I don't care what we do,
I just want to hang out with you.
All right, well, in that case...
how do you feel about lugging firewood on the beach?
Ooh, did I say I was free?
I actually think I might have something--
You!
[shutters snapping]
You're doing it.
Yes.
[manly voice]: I will lug firewood for you.
[Nell]: Bree! Don't you be forgetting--
your shift is 7 to 10 tomorrow morning.
I won't forget, Gran.
I love this fountain...
and all its history.
I especially love the story about
how you and Grandpa Charles
drove all the way up the bay
and stopped here.
[Nell]: Oh-ho!
He was as nervous as that, your granddaddy was.
He was walking in circles,
trying to work up the confidence
to ask me to marry him,
[chuckles]
I can still see him...
down on his knee,
looking up at me
with tears in his eyes.
And tears in yours.
And then later...
he surprised me
with the fountain,
telling me
that this is where his wish came true.
[sighing dreamily as Nell chuckles]
Hello, Gran.
Do you mind talking to Bree for me?
[Nell]: Well, she's right there.
[Jess]: I know. Please tell Bree
that I am here to return this.
She left it unguarded.
Oh, Jess is dropping off--
-Thank you-- -Tell her that she had--
...no right to write about me.
-You had no right to-- -I was not ready to share that.
But I did, and I'm not sorry.
But I did and I'm not--
Wait, wait.
Am I supposed to be repeating everything
you say to her also--
-...Or just Jess? -I don't know.
"Kacie knew that her fears would consume her,
smothering her future, under the shroud of her past..."
Seriously, Bree?
"Seriously" what?
This is my life.
What?
[♪]
[coin plops]
Bree?
What's your book about?
[♪]
Hey, did you know
that Aphrodite, the goddess of love,
emerged from the ocean in an oyster shell?
Yes, and when he was mapping Chesapeake Bay,
Captain John Smith
found oysters as big as his foot.
You're making fun of me, aren't you?
Oh, a little bit.
Forgot about Mick's oyster stories.
Ah. They are riveting.
Oh, yeah!
Thank you so much for doing this.
Are you kidding?
This is the kind of stuff I missed the most.
But I do need to go check on the club,
so I'll meet you back at Sally's later?
-Sure. That's perfect. -All right.
[overlapping]: Bye.
Hey, Trace.
See ya.
So, how's that going?
Good.
Actually, really great.
Good, honey.
Hey. Nell just called.
Bree and Jess just had it out.
Ugh. Is it bad?
She wouldn't say, which, for Nell, is unusual.
Mm.
You know what's going on?
I think I might have an idea.
Um, I'll go and talk to her.
Thanks.
Nice umbrella!
Thanks.
[Danielle]: Hey.
-Ah, you made it. -Sorry, I'm late.
No, it's fine, you're smart--
you missed the heavy lifting.
Yeah, work's crazy. You know how it is.
Yeah.
-Uh... oh. -Got lipstick on you.
You wanna go for that quick walk, then?
-Yeah! Sure. -Okay.
Have I told you about
that stupid brief I've been working on?
-No. -Yeah. Well, it's just--
Hey, Danielle!
Hi, Mick.
Listen, can I, uh,
can I speak to Connor for a second?
-Yeah, for sure. -Thanks.
-Thank you. -I'll meet you down there.
Sure.
What's up?
Well, Douglas and I
got that agreement that you sent us,
and I just wanted you to know
that, um, if you wanted to take another look at it,
just in case, I wouldn't object.
Are you saying that you don't
like the agreement that we've been
working on for the past three months?
No, no, I'm just saying that if you would
like to take another look at it,
just in case, I wouldn't object.
Dad, sign the agreement.
We're done negotiating,
and if you don't, the lawsuits will continue.
Connor, it doesn't hurt to be thorough.
No, I know, but...
this is the best deal that you and Douglas are gonna get,
and it's nothing personal,
it's just-- it's business.
I mean, hey, you're the one who taught me that, right?
Yeah. Yeah.
Yes. I guess I did.
All right. I'll see you later.
-Okay. See ya. -Okay.
-[crowd applauding] -[Donovan]: Thank you!
I'll be back in 20 minutes.
Don't forget to tip your servers.
[cheering]
That's amazing.
I can't believe that Donovan's here.
So where were we?
You actually delivered a baby?
I helped, mostly.
And?
And...
Mother and baby boy, both healthy.
They're gonna name him Kevin.
You're kidding.
Actually, "Sean,"
but the middle name was never discussed,
so there's still hope.
Well, I think
there should be more Kevins in the world.
Mm...
You want another?
Yeah. Good plan.
Excuse me.
Hey.
Another round?
Yeah.
So...
seems like things are going well
with, uh, you and Sarah.
Yeah.
It's nice.
Nice.
Strange being back?
Nah, it's a lot stranger being away.
I mean, I'm doing what I love,
but it's everything else that takes getting used to.
To being back.
Thanks, man.
Trace?
Got some time to finish our interview?
Uh, yeah.
But not right now.
I have plans this evening.
Oh, I could come with.
No, it's a... it's a family thing.
Even better!
Get to know you, your life,
you know, people you spend time with.
If you don't mind, I would love
to sit down with Abby and her daughters,
get their take on having to share you with the world.
Hey, Ben...
Abby and her daughters... they're off-limits.
Okay.
Listen.
If I don't tell your story, somebody else will.
I'm willing to take that risk.
Okay?
Okay.
Yeah. We could do it later.
[frustrated sigh]
[♪]
Bye.
So Dad has now moved on
to telling everyone how the Eastern Oyster
is actually known as--
...The Virginian or the American oyster.
Mm-hmm. Are you gonna come in
before Connor eats all the pizza?
No. I'm gonna sit out here and sulk.
You do that so well.
I take pride in my sulkiness.
When I wrote my novel,
I just kept thinking
about this one review for my last play,
the Tribune,
that called my characters
hollow
and frivolous
and "surface-y."
So... you wrote about the family?
I-- I did not write about the family.
I wrote what I knew.
[Carrie]: Mom!
[footsteps]
I'm gonna go.
Mom! Trace wants to get us ice cream.
After pizza?
-Please? -Sorry, Abs!
I think they're trying to take advantage of me.
[Abby]: I think they are taking advantage of you.
[Trace]: Ice cream...
[all]: Ice cream! Ice cream!
[♪]
Hey, Jess.
You seen Donovan this morning?
Yeah. He's out on the patio.
He's been a big help.
Uh... okay.
He's-- He's been a very good listener.
[laughs] By choice?
Okay, that was pretty funny.
Hmm.
Here you go.
Thanks.
You doing okay?
Um... I'm fine. Thanks.
So...
how you taking to small-town life?
Officially getting stir-crazy.
[Trace chuckles]
How are you doing?
Great, except for this interview.
Ben Mallin keeps pushing me
to open up about my personal life.
Figured he would.
Well, like I said, it's all part of the game.
Easy for you to say.
Living your life on the road...
you don't have anyone to protect.
I did.
Wife and daughter.
I... had no idea.
Long time ago.
Didn't take.
What happened?
Couldn't be in two places at one time.
So you had to make a choice?
[chuckles dryly]
More like the choice was made for me.
[♪]
[Connor]: Well, guess it's finally over.
It is...
which is why you and your boss at O'Brien Environmental
will cease all lawsuits,
negating your right, in perpetuity,
to protest or organize
to stop the development
as originally planned.
"As originally planned"?
Connor, when your grandfather
purchased the land in 1955
and put it in Trust,
there was a caveat stating
that unless contracts
negated the land restrictions
of 1955,
all rights, privileges,
and covenants would revert back
to the original year of purchase.
It means that I can develop the property
with the same rights that I would have in 1955.
You missed one sentence, Connor.
You needed to reference
the original land agreement.
You can't be serious.
Thomas and I went over this a million times.
[phone line ringing]
Thomas?
Hey, Connor. What's up?
I need to speak with you.
I-I don't know.
Apparently, we missed a...
For a dollar,
you'll be helping the cause
and you'll get four wishes in the fountain.
And all the proceeds go towards protecting
the Chesapeake Shores Wishing Fountain
against city budget cuts.
Do you remember when we talked about my book,
and how I said it was about the family?
Uh, yeah.
Okay, well, I changed it.
All of it.
Okay.
So...
why is Jess so angry?
[Douglas]: Well, it looks like you're getting
a lot of wishes there, Abby.
[Abby, laughs]: Hi.
Hey.
Um, yeah, unfortunately,
I don't know if the "wish-in" is gonna enough,
although-- thank you-- my gran always said,
that "Wishing is where the heart wants to go
and doing makes dreams come true."
So did you get all of the paperwork
signed up for the Trust?
Uh, yes, yes. Yes, we did.
I have to say that it was an absolute delight
working with you.
[Lucas]: Say hi to Carrie!
I will say hi to Carrie.
Well, hopefully, our paths cross again soon.
Yes.
-See you! -Come on, little buddy.
Time to make a wish.
[grunts playfully]
Okay, now to make a wish,
think about something you really, really, really want,
and throw it in.
Okay, perfect. What's your name?
As long as we keep this focused on me and my music,
I'll tell you anything you wanna know.
Deal.
[presses digital recorder on]
Thanks.
Ahem.
You're playing to huge crowds,
and your record's about to go gold.
What's it like touring again?
There's nothing like the rush of being back on the stage,
especially with one of your musical idols.
And the past three months have been a...
..."Dream come true"?
Yeah. Yeah, that's... that's exactly it.
What's it like the second time around?
I mean-- I mean, does it mean more to you?
Oh, yeah. For sure.
You're, uh... a little more cautious,
more grateful.
You definitely don't take a single moment for granted,
because you know it could all be gone in a heartbeat.
And when people call you
"the next Donovan Wylie"?
[laughing]
There's only one Donovan Wylie.
Yeah.
[♪]
So why'd you do it?
Well, he's my little brother, you know, so.
Caitlyn, get it.
Yes!
Hey.
Hey! Hey, did you know that a single oyster
filters at least 50 gallons of water per day?
You should have told me.
You should've told me about the mistake.
I tried to, but you wouldn't listen.
You should've just told me!
That's the one thing I couldn't do.
Come here, come here. Listen to me, Connor.
Look, Douglas would not only
have the right to sue me,
but the responsibility to do so.
I understand that! I'm a lawyer.
I would not have sold you out!
For what?
Just to protect Douglas's investment?
Yes, exactly for that reason!
What about protecting me?
Connor, you decided to go against me.
So you chose them over me?
No, you made the choice!
You knew what you were getting into.
Is this is your way of punishing me?
Punishing you?
You're not a child, you're an adult!
And by the way, I was proud of what you did
and how you did it,
but you gotta know,
you go to war against me, or anybody else,
you're gonna get shot back at!
The difference is, you are my father.
Yeah, and business is business.
And nothing else matters?
Of course, it matters! Family matters!
But if I've taught you anything,
that if you screw up in this real world,
you're gonna pay a price for it.
Wow.
The buck always has to stop with you, huh, Dad?
Better than passing it, Connor.
[Bree]: Hey.
[Jess]: "...Well, the equations were clearly marked in black
"on Mrs. Lowney's white board.
"Kacie couldn't help
"but snake her eyes around the numbers,
"creating a fantastical maze.
"'Why worry about math,' she thought,
'when an adventure awaits?'"
Yeah, okay, so, Jess-- it's not...
Kacie isn't you--
You're moving out of the house?
Since when?
Since now.
Haven't told him yet.
You might help me move?
Oh, wait.
You're not thinking about to move in with--
You? No, no, no.
You're too neat for me.
I'm gonna look for a place tomorrow.
Pew! Ooh...
Danielle's late again.
That's... no big deal.
It's nice, isn't it?
Having the whole family here together?
Yeah, it's great.
Is everything okay with you and Connor?
[Mick]: Honestly, I-- I don't know.
Grandpa!
[Mick]: Hey, guys!
[Megan]: Hey. There's our girls.
Picture time. Ready?
Smile.
Okay! Okay. I'll beat you.
All right?
Mick? Mick O'Brien?
That's me.
I have something for you.
Ahh... Connor got himself a new process server?
I have no idea who Connor is.
I'm from the estate of James Nelson.
Oh.
[♪]
Are there any fish
that don't have their own festival?
Uh, flounder.
It's the pistachio of the sea.
Well, I'm gonna start my own flounder festival.
Of course, you are.
And you are gonna help me.
Of course, I am.
And your dad will no doubt
give an impassioned speech on flounder?
Yeah, whether you like it or not.
I think I like it.

Mm.

Give me those phones!
