Previously, on Chesapeake Shores...
The last time we were boxing books,
things didn't turn out exactly as I'd hoped.
Now that we are unboxing books,
how would you like it to turn out?
I'm leaving...
so you can have your party
and your son--
even though I love him a whole lot,
but you can't have me.
I was proud of what you did and how you did it!
But you gotta know that you go to war against me
or anybody else,
you're gonna get shot back at!
I don't want the girls
afraid to go to school or anywhere
because they might have their picture taken.
They get this first shot, and then they move on.
You can't guarantee that, and it might get worse.
Thank you.
Are you kidding?
Best burger by far--
the El Camino in Tucson.
Blue cheese... wing sauce!
It's good, but you gotta go pure--
Farmer's in Baltimore.
Old school, cash only,
and they won't even sell you cheese.
Hey, later, guys!
Later, boys.
Remember, Big Daddy's Bar in Memphis?
Don't even mention Big Daddy's.
Oh! You! And the jukebox issue.
Well, I'm just saying,
they shouldn't have unplugged it.
One song for an hour?
Yeah! That's right! I'm a big Merle Haggard fan.
Of course you are.
All I know is I'm real happy
to have three days off from sharing a bus with you guys.
Wow! On that note,
I'm going home to see my kids.
-Hey, Linda! -Hey, Trace.
Hey, welcome back.
Catch you guys at the radio interview tomorrow?
Yeah.
And if we're still voting on what song
to include in the set,
I'm still going "Bargain and Boots."
I still think we lay down "Country State of Mind."
That's fine by me.
Well, I'm off to see if I still got my apartment.
-Good luck with that. -Adios!
All right.
Hey, Trace?
Yeah?
Linda and I got a spare bedroom,
if you don't want to do the hotel.
Nah. It's all right.
I'm just gonna
check in, call Abby, and crash.
All right. Sounds good.
-Thanks, though. -Yep.
Good to see you, Linda!
Aw, you too, Trace!
-How you doing, baby? -Hey!
We'll have you for dinner.
Oh...
I just really don't want to find another picture.
Hey, didn't Trace say
that they back off
once they get their pictures,
unless there's money involved?
Well, but what if he's wrong?
What if it gets worse?
What if this is just the start?
I mean, when I moved home from New York,
I came back so that life would be simpler,
so I could spend time with the girls
and my family--
Life is never simple, Abby.
Yes, well, it should be.
So where are you in Bree's manuscript?
Yeah, I'm halfway done.
It's pretty good.
I don't understand why everyone's so upset.
I kind of see our family in it,
but there's no one like me.
James O'Connell?
What?
He runs a ranch in Colorado.
He's nothing like me.
Although I did like this one part--
"James's heart was damaged on the rodeo circuit.
There was no denying his future would be shaped
by the vertical scar that traveled down his chest."
Scars are cool.
You're such a nerd.
-Oh... Kevin. -Hey, Jordan.
-Look at this. -What?
I-Is she okay?
No, I'll-I'll be right there.
What is it?
Sarah was hurt at work.
She's on her way to the hospital.

Hey, Kev, you sure you don't want some coffee?
It's undrinkable.
Aw, it can't be that bad.
Whoa.
Aw, you're right. It is undrinkable.
You know, Connor, Abby's finally left.
You can, too, okay?
I've spent lots of time in hospitals.
I'll survive.
Uh-huh.
That's your big argument for staying?
"Uh-huh"?
Look, Connor, I'm...
I'm fine.
You know, that's like
the 50th time you've said "I'm fine"
in the last two hours.
Because I'm not fine.
Hey. I know.
Hoo.
I don't think I really understood
what you guys went through when I got hurt until now.
Honestly, I don't even know which one's worse.
Hey.
So what's going on?
A few bumps and bruises,
but it could've been worse.
They spent the night checking on her.
How close was it?
I pulled her out right before the roof collapsed.
Honestly... too close.
I'm fine. Really.
You don't have to wheel me out. I can walk.
-Okay, Sarah!
Let's get you out here.
I'm fine. Thanks.
Just curious.
Is there anyone manning the station?
All right, thank you very much.
Sarah's going to be okay.
Ah, we can give thanks for that.
You know, I don't think she's gonna be that hungry, Mom.
Well, then, it's for Kevin also.
Oh, muffins!
Oh, you must be exhausted.
Mm, yeah, luckily, Connor took over for me.
How's Kevin doing?
He's telling everyone he's fine.
Well, of course, he is.
-And you? -I'm in need of--
...a coffee and a shower.
Oh, and a ride back to Baltimore.
Oh, I can give you one
as soon I take down the wedding lights.
Ah. 45 minutes?
Yep.
You okay there?
Okay, who had the worst night ever?
Me.
Hands down. No argument possible.
I don't think that's true.
-Sarah got hurt on duty. -What?
-Is she okay? -Yeah.
Yeah. No. She's fine.
Uh, Kevin's taking her home.
Hey. Morning.
Hey.
I brought cinnamon rolls for Kevin and Sarah.
Oh, darling.
Would you be puttin' 'em in the basket, please?
Thank you.
So, wait, why was your night so bad?
I was up all night
trying to put them all together.
Hitting a deadline?
More like missing one.
You know what Ms. Marvel says about deadlines?
They're like dominos--
if one is out of place, nothing falls.
Well, then you can tell Ms. Marvel
that she can take her domino and--
Well, I can't wait to read it.
Anyway, um,
I, uh, have...
now I'm getting daily calls from my publisher,
asking when it's gonna be done.
So this means you won't help me take down the lights?
No, I cannot.
Think Jess'll have time?
Uh, Jess is at the B&B, trying to put it back together,
because, apparently, whoever took care of it
while we were gone made a mess of it.
Starving artist. Bye!
Megan?
Hmm?
Would you help me take down the lights, please?
I'm it? I'd love to.
The toughest part's being on a bus for six months.
I know more about these guys than I ever wanted to.
But it's nice, being together on the road.
The band is like a second family.
Yeah, the one you never wanted.
-Ooh, that's cold.
Well, we're sure glad the Trace Riley Band
is back together again.
So when we come back in a minute,
you guys want to, oh, maybe play something for us?
You know it.
You got 30 seconds, guys.
I can't believe we're being featured
on WDPL.
It's going well, right?
Hmph, and I can't believe my wife wants me
to invite you guys over for dinner tonight.
Oh, I can't. Plans.
Oh. Of course. Yeah. What about you, Trace?
Is Linda cooking?
Yeah, Linda's cooking.
Then I'd love to come.
Good. 6:00.
Guys, we are back
in three, two...
I just walked out.
Was that a walk? I would call that a stomp.
It was impressive.
It was, wasn't it?
I just can't believe David and I are over.
I mean, maybe the Pecks understood how I felt,
maybe they're gonna welcome me back,
maybe the phone will ring...
right now.
Right now.
Right now!
This timing thing is not working out.
Okay, it's not necessarily over.
It is.
Jess, I would love nothing more than
to go down this emotional rabbit hole with you,
but right now I have to focus on reality
and what is in front of me,
and at this particular moment,
it is writing problems that will not go away.
You could just do what I'm doing and just pretend it's over,
like it's over between me and David. Done!
Well, does it work?
-No! It's just making me angry! -I'm angry too!
I spent so much time writing this manuscript
and now my editor is pressuring me
to rush through the editing process,
which is not that simple.
Especially for someone who overcomplicates everything.
Simon?
What are you doing here?
I was talking to your editor,
who also happens to be my editor,
and I volunteered to help simplify your life.
You mean my book?
Of course.
Brilliant.
Sorry.
Hmm.
There are more boxes in the garage, if you need them.
Found them.
-Thank you. -There you are.
Hey, how are Thomas and Robin doing?
They're having an amazing time.
He's teaching her how to surf.
Surfing, huh?
Mm-hmm.
Well, I hope it works out.
Well, you don't sound very enthusiastic.
No, no, I really hope it works out for both of them,
but it has been 30 years.
That's no reason not to try.
But there is a reason for diminished expectations.
Maybe,
but I'm not giving up hope.
No. Nor am I.
Same go for you and Connor?
Of course.
'Cause, Mick, it just seems that--
Megan, Connor and I are gonna work it out, I promise you.
"Working it out" should be above the O'Brien crest,
right under "stubborn".
What about charm? O'Briens have lots of charm.
Oh, really?
I've been known to have my moments.
Once or twice.
So, what do I get
for helping you out with the lights?
-What do you got in mind? -Giovanni's Pizza.
I haven't had a good Margherita pizza
since I left New York.
Oh, yeah. I'm in.
Right. Um... so I found the source,
and I radioed it in,
and then I heard Kyle call out, "The pumps are down,"
and I'm like, "What?"
Next thing I know, the trusses collapse,
and I'm down for the count.
But... thanks to Jordan,
I'm still here.
To Jordan.
-Cheers! -To Jordan!
Mm! Mm! I love this song! We have to dance.
Hey, hey, hey. You know, Sarah,
we don't have to do everything all at once.
Fine, we'll just dance.
Sarah?
Come on. I want to dance.
All right.
Here we go. Here we go.
Train. Here we go.
Are you ready? You're going to lead us out.
You ready to lead us out? Want to put that one on?
I want to see you play.
Okay, bedtime! Bedtime.
Hon'...
Oh, whoa. Yup?
You're up.
Do you want to stick around?
This should only take an hour or two.
Oh! Here we go. Got your dinosaur.
All right!
By the second book,
I just basically look at the pictures
and make stuff up.
Come up with anything good?
You know what? I gotta be honest.
I'm pretty funny.
It's Freddy the Fish time!
Ohh...
Can I get you anything else, Trace?
Do you want more coffee or pie?
No, no, no. I'm-- I'm fine.
-You sure? -Yeah.
I should probably get going, actually.
Give Abby a call before she goes to bed.
Oh, I understand.
But thank you for an amazing meal.
And, uh, when Freddie the Fish
comes up for air,
thank him for me, too.
Oh, of course.
You're welcome any time, Trace.
And thank you.
Goodnight, Linda.
Goodnight. Here. I'll walk you out.
Suddenly, Freddy the Fish stopped.
It wasn't the squirrel, it was the evil Mr. Shoe.
Evil shoe!
I thought...
Hi. It's Abby. Please leave a message.
Hey, Abby, it's me.
I was just calling to say hi.
I miss you.
Hey!
Uh... hey.
Your, uh, your office told me you'd be here.
Yeah, I have a breakfast meeting.
It looks like I'm second chair
on that lawsuit now.
Well, they're lucky to have you.
Have you got a minute?
Connor, I'm asking you if you have a minute for me.
Well, you're here. Sure. Have a seat.
I just came to drop this off.
It's the discovery documents from the Trust settlement.
You could've just left these at my office.
Well, you know me, face-to-face.
I thought maybe if you had some free time
this afternoon,
you could come down to the marina.
Were you planning on
tearing it down, putting up an office building?
Not today, but you never know.
No, I've got this side project,
I thought maybe you'd like to come down
and check it out.
Maybe. I don't know. I'll have to check my schedule.
Okay. Yeah, well, whatever you want.
I hope I'll see you this afternoon.
I can't believe the Pecks set me up like that.
I know. They lied to me.
I know! You know what?
I know what that feels like, too.
I have been lied to by Simon Atwater.
He's not British!
I knew that accent was fake!
No! When he read the first draft
of my manuscript, all he could talk about
was how much he loved it,
and now everything he loved about it,
he wants me to change.
He says that it's not emotional.
Emotional? You're like
the most emotional person I know.
Well, besides me.
Thank you... sort of.
But do you have to listen to him?
I mean, he's here on his own, isn't he?
What kind of editor comes to your house?
Yeah, no, he totally just...
volunteered to help.
What's annoying, though,
is that he's right a lot of the time, so.
Okay, you know what? We're gonna be fine.
Okay? We just need
to stop stressing about men and our problems with men,
and we need to focus
on what is good in our lives
and that we are strong women--
Yeah.
...We are sisters,
and nothing can break the bonds of sisterhood, okay?
Yeah!
-Yes!
And that is... Sorry.
Hello.
Yes.
Uh-huh.
I will be right there.
Mm-hmm. Okay. Thanks.
-What? -I have to go to work.
We are the sisters, though!
We were being strong!
Three of us. Not two. Like this.
Tripod! Together. Stronger together.
Two... like this.
We have to be. We have no choice.

[John, chuckles]: What'd you do?
Make that up overnight?
It was a long night.
Couldn't sleep.
Wow...
Well, I'm glad
I didn't read you a bedtime story, then.
It was really good.
Thanks.
I change my vote
from "Bargain and Boots" to, uh...
what was that called?
It's called "Timeless."
What'd you think, Leigh?
Whoa, no, no, no. Not-- Not that.
The sled is emblematic
of the character's internal struggle
for self-discovery and acceptance.
Right.
Do you like winter sports?
Sledding, skating and such?
Yes. Yes.
As a matter of fact,
I spent an entire semester overseas in Copenhagen.
Or "Cup-n-haggen," as the locals like to call it.
And we spent all winter--
No, no! That...
That is my favorite paragraph.
Okay.
Just for my own edification,
is every paragraph your favorite paragraph?
Yes!
I have a problem with people editing my work.
Evidently.
But these, they're just suggestions.
I'm using a pencil.
Okay, no, wait.
This was your favorite anecdote.
You called this smart and witty and brilliant...
though you do say "brilliant" a lot.
It's an English thing.
Just so that you know,
I did find it witty, charming and brilliant,
and I recommend you should use it,
but not here-- in your next novel.
Why are you really here, Simon?
I was talking to Steve Kennedy,
who knows I brought your book in,
and he said that you submitted
eight different drafts of your manuscript.
They just want to know which one you want to finally submit.
So, you're just here to help?
At your service.
We're done, right?
I don't feel done.
Look, five miles is done.
I don't want to stop.
Look, maybe we could just, I don't know,
go out, get a beer, talk a little bit. Chill.
I was thinking maybe skydiving.
You can't be serious.
You could teach me.
I saw your badge, "freefall parachutist."
Well, there were reasons for me jumping out of a plane.
Come on, it must've been fun.
Not really, no. Hey, hey. Look.
Look, Sarah, I think you need to slow down a little bit.
Ever since your accident,
you've been a little intense.
I think that you need to, I don't know,
talk about it.
Kevin, I'm doing great.
I feel like... like I can do anything.
Yeah, I know.
Sarah, y...
You're almost--
I don't want to hear it.
And if you don't want to share this with me...
I'll just do it on my own.
Starting with another five.
Leigh... what's up?
You okay?
Yeah, I'm fine.
It's just...
We always write for the band together.
Like I said,
I couldn't sleep, and I just...
At least tell me what you think.
Honestly.
Honestly?
I think it's one of the best things you've ever written.
So, "Timeless" it is.
Leigh.
Leigh!
What's really going on here?
Well, we're a writing team, right?
And we work together.
Of course, we're still a team,
but, I mean, the song just came out.
This has nothing to do with us, right?
-Trace--
It's Abby.
I gotta take this.
Hey, Abs.
Sorry I missed your call last night.
No, it's...
fine.
You sound tired.
Mm. Yeah, I didn't sleep.
Yeah, me neither.
Uh, Trace...
I found another picture of us online,
from when we were saying goodbye in Dallas.
Abby, I just think
that maybe we need to start being more careful.
I am. That's... that's what worries me.
I am getting paranoid
whenever I'm out with the girls,
and I know that I have--
...no reason to be, but I can't help it.
I don't know what to say.
If I could stop these people, you know I would.
Trace, this is serious.
Okay? There are pictures of my daughters online.
There's pictures of us,
and the irony is that every decision that I have made
in the last year
has been to give my daughters a better life
and to protect them,
and I feel like I'm doing the exact opposite.
Abby, of course, I want you to feel safe.
And making sure that you and the girls are secure,
it's my number-one priority,
but I don't know what else I can do.
You keep saying that,
but I'm just-- I'm not comfortable with this.
I can't shake the feeling
that, ultimately, I'm responsible.
So...
You have a sailboat?
I do.
Is this why you asked me here?
I thought I could use a little help on the hatch.
I'm guessing Kevin was busy?
I asked you, I didn't ask him.
Who else knows about the sailboat?
Just you and Thomas.
You know I've never sailed before.
Ah, we can do that, too.
Now I know why you asked me here.
What do you mean?
Oh, come on, Dad. You do this every time.
We never talk about what we actually need to talk about.
Instead, you invite me
to share some secret with you,
so I remember we have so much in common.
I invited you down here
because I thought you'd enjoy this,
and I want to spend time with you.
And that makes us fine?
We're all better, right?
No, we're far from fine,
but I thought we could work on the hatch,
and work on the rigging, and then maybe you and I--
No! No. Stop. I'm so tired of this.
All we ever do is we fight and then we make up,
and then we do this--
we pretend that everything is better between us,
and then we just fight again.
Connor, I'm just...
I'm just trying to figure out a way to move past this.
Well, with you figuring out how to get past this,
that's just going around in circles.
I'm not interested.
Okay. What now?
Nothing.
You haven't looked up in over an hour,
so tell me what's up.
Kacie's rather interesting.
Oh. Interesting how?
Well, interesting in a character sort of way.
Well, as a protagonist,
she is charming, lovely, seemingly warm.
Seemingly warm?
You know, I loved
how you described her on page 42,
but the anecdote about
her not letting go of her VW Beetle
for six years,
even though it never ran,
that-- that says more about her
than all those lovely words.
It just kinda says that she really liked her old car.
The car was "unfixable."
Page 72.
Where are we?
"The problem wasn't the car--"
The problem was me.
Bree...
Ice climbing...
without a rope-- that's what this feels like.
♪ Forever gonna feel this way ♪
♪ Your love is ♪
♪ Timeless ♪
♪ To me ♪
Think we got it.
Yeah, I think so.
Cool. Uh, excuse me a second.
I'm gonna make a call.
Hey, Bree?
It's Trace.
Listen, uh, I need to ask you a favor.
So how's Sarah doing?
She's... fine.
Yeah?
In the past two days,
we've gone running twice,
bouldering,
a swim in the bay,
and now she wants to go skydive.
Wow.
Kev...
She sounds like...
Like me?
Yeah.
Yeah, I know.
Have you said something?
I don't think it would really make a difference.
I didn't listen to anyone when I got hurt.
I survived, Mom.
And then I put blinders on,
because the last thing
that I wanted to think about
was what would happen if I didn't.
But if she's pushing this hard,
she's gonna hurt herself.
I know...
Kev.
I can't begin to know what you went through,
but I do know that
the more you pretended to be okay,
the more scared we got.
Yeah, I know.
What if I just call up the Pecks
and asked them to have a sit-down.
I could bring them a fruit platter.
They seemed to eat a lot of papaya.
-They did, didn't they? -Yeah.
And, unfortunately,
Simon is really helping me with my book.
Isn't that a good thing?
Uh... as much as I love
having you girls come visit me at work,
why are you here?
We were in the neighborhood.
Our neighborhood is an hour away from here.
We just thought
that you always take care of us,
so we should take care of you.
And then maybe everything will be okay.
It's okay. It's-- It's gonna be fine.
I'm okay with...
the pictures and everything.
I mean, they're just...
they're just pictures! Right?
It's not a big deal.
I just needed to stop thinking about--
-Hey, Abs. -...All of this--
What are you doing here?
I was just in the neighborhood.
I thought maybe you could use a break.
Liar!
Goodbye!
Here. Sit down.
What is happening right now?

Don't you have a show tonight?
We finished our set,
and I had a car take me to the airport.
Caught the last flight to Baltimore,
and then a taxi here.
And I have another radio interview
at 10:00 in the morning,
so we have about an hour before I have to leave for D.C.
That's crazy.
Probably.
But I didn't want to have to make up over the phone.
We weren't fighting.
I just...
...want to be able to protect Carrie and Caitlyn and us,
and I don't know how to do that.
Well, we'll figure it out.
Together.
Well, I'm sorry that I got so upset last night.
I just was worried and I was missing you.
Don't worry. I get it.
It's hard.
Yeah.
Can't believe you came all the way here
just to sing me a song.
And to let you know that you are
the most important person in my life,
and I know I keep saying that,
so I figured, this time I'd show you.
Face to face?
Face to face.
Oh, I love this place.
I remember the first time we came here.
I was 21, I think.
Mm-hmm, and you forgot your wallet.
Yeah! I found a payphone,
called my father,
and he waited outside while I snuck out to get it.
I knew what was going on, you know.
And I knew that you knew,
and I was grateful you didn't say anything.
You know, I don't think I ever told you this,
but Dad slipped a 20 in my wallet that night.
-Aww... -He was always very fond of you.
Your dad, he was always easy on me.
Yes, he was.
And tough on you.
Mm.
I think you and Connor--
Please, don't make this about me and Connor.
Just trying to help.
I know, but you can't.
That was something I had to work out with my father,
and this is something Connor has to work out with me.
So... here's to working things out.
Sooner rather than later.
Amen to that.
Would you two like to take a look at the menu at all?
Actually, we have talked about what we want.
We're gonna have two Margherita pizzas,
and some hot pepper flakes on the sides.
And extra cheese, please.
-Sure thing. -Let's be bad!
-Oh, yeah. -Perfect. Sounds good.
Thank you.
I think it's great what you two are doing.
My parents still go out on dates, too.
Mm.
Mm-mm-mm!
Ohh!
Pie is how I figure things out.
What, you mean like with David?
No, with everything.
I don't know what I was thinking.
David and I are never gonna be together.
We're like Romeo and Juliet,
only more depressing because we're both still alive.
But you feel dead inside?
That's very deep.
I do deep well,
and lately, I've had to a lot with Dad.
Oh, you must be deeply in deep.
Oh, yeah.
It's more fun being angry.
Yeah, I get that, too, but tiring.
You know, Jess,
I don't know if Dad and I are ever gonna make up.
Maybe you already have, and you don't even know it.
Maybe you're so used to being angry,
that you don't know how to be anything else.
So, just forget everything that's happened between us?
No. You just do what I did with Mom--
focus on the now.
Because the "then" has never been good.
What are we gonna do when we run out of pie?
I suppose we'll have to be okay with all this.
Or we could order another pie.
Now, that's deep.
Hi!
Hi.
Um...
I think we should talk.
I'd be delighted.
Should I begin?
No! No, no. Uh, I think I should.
Are you sure?
Yeah. Uh, no. I, uh, it's me.
It's, um...
I'm just having some trouble with the words.
Um...
It's been my experience
that writers never have trouble just finding the words,
it's finding the right ones.
Clever.
Occupational hazard, sorry.
Right. Um...
You know what? I'm just gonna...
Um, okay. Here it is.
I'm Kacie.
And, um, everything you said
about me emotionally protecting myself
by buying the wrong car,
or the wrong guy, or Martin, or...
you know, whatever--
that is true.
That-- That's what I do.
I've been thinking about that all afternoon.
Ahem.
I was insensitive and I am sorry if I hurt you.
I'm sorry, um,
if I've been unfair.
You came here to help.
I mean, all you've ever done is helped,
and all I've ever done is push you away.
Um...
It's just, ahem, it's where I feel the most comfortable.
Did you want to say something, too?
Well...
I was just gonna ask if you wanted a pint.
Brilliant.
One more, please.
Hey! You made it.
This is gonna be fun.
Yeah...
Look, Sarah, I'm not going.
What? Why?
I know what you're doing,
because I did it, too.
Yeah, after my accident,
after I knew that I was gonna be okay,
what I felt was...
amazing.
Everything was different.
You know, food, music,
the sky even looked different somehow.
It just-- it felt like there was nothing I couldn't do,
and I did some really silly things.
Skydiving isn't silly.
No, it's not about that.
You just-- you can't go from high to high...
Because, at some point,
it's gonna hit you why you're really doing it.
I'm doing this to celebrate.
Maybe.
I did it because I was scared.
Terrified...
...actually.
Because, for a moment, I thought I was gonna die...
And there was nothing I could do.
I thought I was going to die, too.
Dad, this boat's in pretty rough shape.
It does need a little work.
A lot of it.
But it'll all be worth it once I get her under sail.
So, uh...
where do you want me to start?
Maybe the ropes?
Actually...
they're only called ropes until they're in place.
Once they're in place, we call 'em lines.
Your sheets, your halyards,
your downhauls... this, for instance,
right here, this is the mainsheet.
Why do they call it that?
You know, I have no idea.
You know how to tie a bowline?
No.
You don't know much about boats, do you?
Well, no. No one was there to teach me.
I'm sorry.
Thank you.
Are you gonna teach me how to tie that knot?
Sure. Come on board.
All right.
Actually, the bowline is one of the greatest,
and yet the simplest knots in nautical history.
Pretty straightforward.
Okay. All right.
Oh!
Okay, so, we're done, right?
Not doing another 10 miles?
That's it.
Oh! I love you.
I mean...
No. No--
I love that we're done running.
And...
You know what?
I do.
I love you.
And that we're done running.
So...
we love each other.
Yes. Yeah, I guess we do.
More running? Come on!
Right here?
I mean, I don't know,
I think the VW bit is redundant.
I think we should trim it.
That's up to you.
Oh.
Are you saying that as my editor,
or whatever it is that you are?
What am I?
That's a good question.
I do know for a fact
that I'm your Wallace--
your marine biologist
with a penchant for flounder.
Does that bother you?
Well, on the contrary. I'm flattered.
He does grow on you.
You know what?
I say...
trim the Bug!
It's time I get a car I don't need to repair.
Well, you know, there are some excellent
late-model British cars on the market.
I do like Aston Martins.
I wonder if Daniel Craig is available?
Still married.
Hmm.
Daniel Radcliffe?
He drove a broom.
Oh!
Noted.
New plants, new beginnings.
You know, I finally understand
why Gran likes gardening so much.
It slows everything down.
It's kind of cathartic.
Always gives me time to think.
And to try not to make things
what they're not.
Does that mean you're over David?
No, uh, but I haven't thought about him
in about 42 minutes, so...
Until I mentioned him?
Yeah, thank you.
Sorry about that.
Oh... More guests.
Jess O'Brien...
David!
I think you forgot something.
Oh...
It fits.
I don't know if you're still in the market
for a cook, gardener, or handyman,
and anything else you might need,
but I'd like to submit my application for employment.
Do you have any references?
Just one.
And I missed her more than anything.
You know who makes a good burger?
Paulie's in Philly.
Remember that place?
Yeah, best plate of fries ever.
Now, was that ketchup or barbecue sauce?
You boys all set?
You coming, John?
I'm gonna miss you.
I'm gonna miss you, too.
-Be back soon. -Yeah.
Let's do this.
Yep.
