[bluegrass music playing]
16
00:01:15,158 --> 00:01:16,910
[all] To Frances!
17
00:01:16,993 --> 00:01:18,620
What a remarkable soul.
18
00:01:18,703 --> 00:01:21,664
The warmth and strength
she gave to Serenity will stay with us.
19
00:01:21,748 --> 00:01:23,833
I wanna go the way Frances went.
20
00:01:24,542 --> 00:01:25,585
At the bar,
21
00:01:26,503 --> 00:01:27,712
surrounded by friends.
22
00:01:27,796 --> 00:01:29,255
- [Dana Sue] Mmm.
- [Maddie chuckles]
23
00:01:29,339 --> 00:01:32,509
Oh, and Dana Sue, I hope you'll forgive us
if it takes us a couple of minutes
24
00:01:32,592 --> 00:01:34,552
before we come back
to Sullivan's to drink.
25
00:01:34,636 --> 00:01:35,636
I understand.
26
00:01:36,096 --> 00:01:38,223
I'm just glad
we got to praise Miss Frances
27
00:01:38,306 --> 00:01:39,546
while she was alive to hear it.
28
00:01:39,599 --> 00:01:41,476
And now that she's graduated to glory,
29
00:01:41,559 --> 00:01:44,104
we are gonna throw her
a celebration of life
30
00:01:44,187 --> 00:01:46,064
that will bring joy to everybody.
31
00:01:46,147 --> 00:01:48,483
As dictated by the guest of honor herself.
32
00:01:48,566 --> 00:01:50,610
- [Helen] Mmm.
- She laid out every detail.
33
00:01:50,693 --> 00:01:52,654
- [Paula] Of course she did.
- [all laugh]
34
00:01:52,737 --> 00:01:55,698
Grace and I reviewed the notebook,
and we made copies
35
00:01:55,782 --> 00:01:58,701
of all the duties
that she assigned to each of us.
36
00:01:59,202 --> 00:02:04,082
She asked that I coordinate plans
for her celebration and funeral, and...
37
00:02:04,165 --> 00:02:08,253
I'm handling flowers for church,
graveside, and the celebration.
38
00:02:08,336 --> 00:02:09,170
[Dana Sue] Mmm.
39
00:02:09,254 --> 00:02:11,339
Frances wants magnolias, of course...
40
00:02:11,422 --> 00:02:12,298
[all chuckle]
41
00:02:12,382 --> 00:02:13,967
...and Sweet Frances roses.
42
00:02:14,050 --> 00:02:16,302
- [Maddie] Oh.
- There's a rose called Sweet Frances?
43
00:02:16,386 --> 00:02:18,638
Oh yeah, it's a beautiful apricot rose,
44
00:02:18,721 --> 00:02:21,391
prized for its ability
to bloom in drought.
45
00:02:21,474 --> 00:02:23,744
Well, I should create a cocktail
called the Sweet Frances.
46
00:02:23,768 --> 00:02:27,272
- [Helen] Yes.
- Apricots and, uh, bourbon.
47
00:02:27,355 --> 00:02:29,315
- [Helen] Mmm.
- And no bitters.
48
00:02:29,399 --> 00:02:30,859
No bitters! Amen.
49
00:02:30,942 --> 00:02:32,026
- Never.
- [all laugh]
50
00:02:32,110 --> 00:02:35,446
Okay, so I get to create
gifting tables at the celebration
51
00:02:35,530 --> 00:02:37,740
filled with books
from her personal collection.
52
00:02:37,824 --> 00:02:38,658
[Paula] Mmm.
53
00:02:38,741 --> 00:02:40,827
Those books
were her most prized possessions.
54
00:02:40,910 --> 00:02:41,744
[Maddie] Yeah.
55
00:02:41,828 --> 00:02:45,874
And think of how many people in Serenity
got their love of reading from her.
56
00:02:45,957 --> 00:02:48,168
So we're puttin' all those books out
at the celebration?
57
00:02:48,251 --> 00:02:51,713
"Each guest will get to select
whatever calls to them."
58
00:02:52,463 --> 00:02:56,676
"I trust that each tome
will find its way to its proper new home."
59
00:02:56,759 --> 00:02:57,594
[Paula] Mmm.
60
00:02:57,677 --> 00:02:59,012
"Leftovers will go to...
61
00:02:59,095 --> 00:03:00,096
[sighs]
62
00:03:00,638 --> 00:03:02,849
...to Little Free Libraries around town."
63
00:03:03,349 --> 00:03:07,395
And there's a list of suggested locations,
and the spa is one of them.
64
00:03:07,478 --> 00:03:08,478
- Aw!
- [all giggle]
65
00:03:08,521 --> 00:03:11,858
Gettin' someone to build those
is on my list.
66
00:03:11,941 --> 00:03:13,651
Imagine Miss Frances thinking
67
00:03:13,735 --> 00:03:16,779
that you just might know
a bighearted carpenter
68
00:03:16,863 --> 00:03:18,698
who can help us with all of that.
69
00:03:18,781 --> 00:03:21,367
- Are we talking Jesus or Skeeter?
- Neither.
70
00:03:21,451 --> 00:03:23,119
[all laughing]
71
00:03:23,203 --> 00:03:25,121
[chuckles] I will ask Ronnie.
72
00:03:25,205 --> 00:03:28,041
And, uh, I would like
to take care of the food.
73
00:03:28,124 --> 00:03:29,124
[Maddie] Ah.
74
00:03:29,167 --> 00:03:33,296
Oh, I talked to Peggy about writing
a... an appreciation for The Sentinel
75
00:03:33,379 --> 00:03:36,090
instead of just
a perfunctory obituary for the newspaper.
76
00:03:36,174 --> 00:03:37,008
- Nice.
- Mm-hmm.
77
00:03:37,091 --> 00:03:40,261
I contacted
Frances's out-of-town family and friends.
78
00:03:40,345 --> 00:03:44,015
Not everyone's sure they can make
the trip, but we'll hope for the best.
79
00:03:44,807 --> 00:03:49,312
And, finally, I will coordinate
with Miss Frances's estate lawyer, so...
80
00:03:49,395 --> 00:03:52,440
Why do you suppose that she gave us
detailed instructions for all this
81
00:03:52,523 --> 00:03:54,359
but nothing about the will?
82
00:03:54,442 --> 00:03:55,443
[Grace] Because she knew
83
00:03:55,526 --> 00:03:58,613
that the most important things
she left us weren't things.
84
00:03:58,696 --> 00:04:01,574
Her fire lives on
in our most ambitious pursuits.
85
00:04:01,658 --> 00:04:03,534
Like the recall petition.
86
00:04:03,618 --> 00:04:07,956
Which is why we will file it
when Town Hall opens tomorrow morning.
87
00:04:08,039 --> 00:04:08,957
- Oh yes!
- [Helen] Yes.
88
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:13,753
The perfect exclamation point
to Miss Frances's extraordinary legacy.
89
00:04:13,836 --> 00:04:14,836
[Helen chuckles]
90
00:04:15,296 --> 00:04:16,296
[Maddie] Cheers!
91
00:04:21,970 --> 00:04:24,013
[Mary Vaughn] Oh! What a blessing!
92
00:04:24,097 --> 00:04:26,432
I was just about
to seek out the three of you.
93
00:04:26,516 --> 00:04:28,476
Well, what can we do for you?
94
00:04:28,559 --> 00:04:32,313
What I can do for you is deter you
from making a horrible mistake.
95
00:04:33,106 --> 00:04:35,692
My husband is a good man
and doesn't deserve
96
00:04:35,775 --> 00:04:36,943
what you're doing to him.
97
00:04:37,026 --> 00:04:39,279
Well, in that case,
the recall won't be successful.
98
00:04:39,362 --> 00:04:41,322
No, no, no! It shouldn't even begin!
99
00:04:42,031 --> 00:04:44,575
Ladies, let's be honest.
This isn't about Trent.
100
00:04:44,659 --> 00:04:47,120
It's the same ridiculous vendetta
you have against me.
101
00:04:47,203 --> 00:04:48,079
[Dana Sue groans]
102
00:04:48,162 --> 00:04:50,581
We're not in high school anymore,
Mary Vaughn.
103
00:04:50,665 --> 00:04:53,626
You and your husband
have misappropriated funds and property
104
00:04:53,710 --> 00:04:56,963
to enrich yourselves.
You both need to be held accountable.
105
00:04:57,046 --> 00:04:59,132
Follow through with this misguided plan,
106
00:04:59,841 --> 00:05:01,467
and there will be consequences.
107
00:05:01,551 --> 00:05:04,387
And if we turned a blind eye
to your malfeasance,
108
00:05:04,470 --> 00:05:07,098
there'll be dire consequences
for this entire town.
109
00:05:07,682 --> 00:05:10,852
Well, now if you'll excuse us,
we have a petition to file.
110
00:05:11,894 --> 00:05:13,896
[pensive music playing]
111
00:05:21,654 --> 00:05:24,365
You can only progress
once you've gathered all five seals.
112
00:05:24,449 --> 00:05:26,489
[Willow] How does the enchanter
fit into that quest?
113
00:05:26,534 --> 00:05:28,661
And does the halfling summon the guardian?
114
00:05:28,745 --> 00:05:30,288
- [both] Tournament!
- [chuckles]
115
00:05:30,371 --> 00:05:33,708
The gates can only be opened
once the grand champion is defeated.
116
00:05:33,791 --> 00:05:36,127
Even then, we need another obstacle
to the kingdom.
117
00:05:36,210 --> 00:05:37,337
Right.
118
00:05:37,420 --> 00:05:40,465
Maybe the water hag
can summon an elemental companion!
119
00:05:40,548 --> 00:05:41,548
[exhales]
120
00:05:42,633 --> 00:05:44,469
Water hags don't exist in this region.
121
00:05:45,261 --> 00:05:46,261
[splutters] Oh.
122
00:05:46,763 --> 00:05:48,306
Right. Yeah.
123
00:05:50,975 --> 00:05:53,269
But if it's a cave hag
who summons the elemental...
124
00:05:53,353 --> 00:05:56,105
- Then it's sand and stone, and we're good!
- Wicked idea, Kyle.
125
00:05:56,189 --> 00:05:57,189
Super cool.
126
00:05:57,231 --> 00:05:59,192
It's Nellie's idea. I just built on it.
127
00:05:59,942 --> 00:06:03,154
[Willow] Can we have a fake-out before
the second stage of the cave hag fight?
128
00:06:11,204 --> 00:06:13,223
- You know what? Listen, Peter Pan.
- [Ronnie] Don't!
129
00:06:13,247 --> 00:06:15,875
You don't get credit
for leaving Neverland at 40 years old.
130
00:06:15,958 --> 00:06:17,710
My God... You didn't want me to change!
131
00:06:17,794 --> 00:06:20,296
Oh wow! That's ridiculous!
132
00:06:20,380 --> 00:06:23,257
Uh, it's true.
You liked the power imbalance.
133
00:06:23,341 --> 00:06:27,512
Oh, there you go again,
laying your shortcomings at my doorstep.
134
00:06:27,595 --> 00:06:30,932
- Oh.
- Again, let's focus on a way forward.
135
00:06:31,015 --> 00:06:32,855
- [Ronnie sighs]
- [June] Not what's behind us.
136
00:06:32,892 --> 00:06:35,395
Both of you, take a breath.
137
00:06:36,437 --> 00:06:39,148
Now, you came to me in faith
138
00:06:39,232 --> 00:06:42,610
with the singular goal
of saving your marriage.
139
00:06:43,194 --> 00:06:47,365
Focus on that unity of purpose
and your good intent.
140
00:06:48,408 --> 00:06:51,452
Now, did you complete my first request?
141
00:07:00,128 --> 00:07:03,339
Couldn't be bothered to bring your vows
like Pastor June asked, huh?
142
00:07:03,423 --> 00:07:04,841
[scoffing softly]
143
00:07:07,885 --> 00:07:09,429
My darling Dana Sue.
144
00:07:11,431 --> 00:07:12,431
You're kind,
145
00:07:13,141 --> 00:07:15,059
smart, funny...
146
00:07:15,143 --> 00:07:16,769
[emotional music playing]
147
00:07:16,853 --> 00:07:18,020
...and beautiful.
148
00:07:19,730 --> 00:07:23,192
You know your way
around a kitchen, a classic car,
149
00:07:24,318 --> 00:07:25,318
and my heart.
150
00:07:25,736 --> 00:07:31,451
You can cure any ill
with great food and a killer smile.
151
00:07:32,910 --> 00:07:35,121
I'll build our house. Be your rock.
152
00:07:36,164 --> 00:07:39,292
I cherish everything you are,
153
00:07:39,375 --> 00:07:42,879
and I promise
to treasure everything that you'll become.
154
00:07:44,172 --> 00:07:46,632
And I vow before God
155
00:07:48,092 --> 00:07:49,677
and our favorite folks
156
00:07:51,345 --> 00:07:53,181
to love you forever.
157
00:07:57,185 --> 00:07:58,269
[June] Thank you, Ronnie.
158
00:07:59,854 --> 00:08:01,772
Do you wanna share your vows, Dana Sue?
159
00:08:03,774 --> 00:08:05,943
[emotional music continues]
160
00:08:07,737 --> 00:08:08,946
[exhales]
161
00:08:11,491 --> 00:08:12,533
[Ronnie exhales]
162
00:08:13,409 --> 00:08:15,661
Well, until next time,
163
00:08:15,745 --> 00:08:19,332
I would like for you both to consider
164
00:08:19,415 --> 00:08:24,212
the sacred promises
that you made to each other and to God.
165
00:08:24,795 --> 00:08:27,798
And do your vows still mean
the same thing to you today...
166
00:08:35,264 --> 00:08:37,350
[emotional music continues]
167
00:08:38,309 --> 00:08:40,645
All right, well, we harvested four eggs.
168
00:08:44,065 --> 00:08:45,065
[inhales]
169
00:08:46,651 --> 00:08:49,570
I ate well. I, uh... I did yoga.
170
00:08:50,655 --> 00:08:53,950
I avoided chemicals.
I took all of my medication.
171
00:08:54,534 --> 00:08:56,744
Even those supplements.
172
00:08:56,827 --> 00:08:59,497
You were remarkably diligent,
as I expected you would be.
173
00:08:59,580 --> 00:09:02,166
- Did I do this wrong?
- You did everything within...
174
00:09:02,250 --> 00:09:04,502
Not just this. I mean all of it.
175
00:09:05,336 --> 00:09:07,547
Every decision that brought me here.
176
00:09:07,630 --> 00:09:08,714
Waiting until now,
177
00:09:08,798 --> 00:09:11,008
ig... ignoring the urges to be a mother.
178
00:09:14,804 --> 00:09:15,804
[inhales]
179
00:09:16,138 --> 00:09:17,848
Did I lose my chance?
180
00:09:18,391 --> 00:09:19,642
[sobs]
181
00:09:19,725 --> 00:09:20,725
Did I...
182
00:09:21,519 --> 00:09:23,104
did I waste my moment?
183
00:09:26,566 --> 00:09:28,192
It... it's been my experience
184
00:09:28,276 --> 00:09:32,697
that focusing on the road not taken
keeps you from getting anywhere.
185
00:09:33,322 --> 00:09:35,700
But for the sake
of this moment's conversation,
186
00:09:35,783 --> 00:09:37,827
are there aspects of your current life
187
00:09:37,910 --> 00:09:40,830
you would forfeit
for a hypothetical child?
188
00:09:46,210 --> 00:09:47,628
- [softly] No.
- Remember that.
189
00:09:48,838 --> 00:09:51,382
Also, think of this process as a...
190
00:09:52,258 --> 00:09:54,135
an experience with unexpected gifts.
191
00:09:54,218 --> 00:09:55,511
[laughs]
192
00:09:55,595 --> 00:09:58,973
They may surprise you by revealing
strengths you didn't even know you had.
193
00:09:59,056 --> 00:09:59,890
Yeah, such as?
194
00:09:59,974 --> 00:10:02,977
Embracing the inability
to control everything.
195
00:10:03,060 --> 00:10:04,060
[scoffs, chuckles]
196
00:10:04,103 --> 00:10:05,229
Sometimes anything.
197
00:10:05,313 --> 00:10:08,983
[sighs] Dr. Ringle, that gift
has never had my name on it.
198
00:10:09,066 --> 00:10:10,066
Stay hopeful.
199
00:10:10,109 --> 00:10:13,446
You have four eggs, and you only need one
for your ultimate success.
200
00:10:14,989 --> 00:10:16,115
[inhales]
201
00:10:16,198 --> 00:10:17,825
- It only takes one.
- Mmm.
202
00:10:31,005 --> 00:10:33,090
- Good evening, Miss Sullivan.
- Jackson.
203
00:10:34,508 --> 00:10:35,801
Hi, Annie.
204
00:10:36,427 --> 00:10:38,179
- Hey.
- Wow!
205
00:10:38,262 --> 00:10:39,347
[Annie chuckles]
206
00:10:40,139 --> 00:10:42,433
Thanks, Jackson. They're beautiful.
207
00:10:42,516 --> 00:10:43,516
You're welcome.
208
00:10:45,686 --> 00:10:47,521
I'll put 'em in water for you.
209
00:10:48,814 --> 00:10:52,902
I'll make sure to have her back by curfew,
ma'am. You have a wonderful evening.
210
00:10:55,154 --> 00:10:57,156
[emotional music playing]
211
00:11:02,036 --> 00:11:03,371
Y'all do the same.
212
00:11:10,503 --> 00:11:11,587
[Maddie sighs]
213
00:11:11,671 --> 00:11:13,089
- [Cal sighs]
- Mmm.
214
00:11:14,256 --> 00:11:17,301
- [Maddie chuckles]
- Well, that gives happy hour new meaning.
215
00:11:17,385 --> 00:11:18,469
[Maddie chuckles]
216
00:11:20,012 --> 00:11:21,138
[Maddie] Mmm.
217
00:11:21,806 --> 00:11:23,057
[Maddie chuckles]
218
00:11:23,766 --> 00:11:25,559
- Hmm.
- [Maddie giggles]
219
00:11:35,194 --> 00:11:37,863
Actually, uh, could you grab me a T-shirt?
220
00:11:37,947 --> 00:11:40,074
Mmm. After that, I'll do anything you ask.
221
00:11:41,033 --> 00:11:42,033
[Cal] Mmm.
222
00:11:43,369 --> 00:11:45,913
[Maddie] Oh! You have a memory drawer too?
223
00:11:45,996 --> 00:11:48,165
[Cal] Oh gosh, no!
224
00:11:48,249 --> 00:11:50,334
You know, sometimes I forget
225
00:11:50,418 --> 00:11:52,795
that you had a life
before you came to Serenity.
226
00:11:52,878 --> 00:11:53,713
[Cal] Ah...
227
00:11:53,796 --> 00:11:57,466
Wait, you went to the ESPYs?
I watch this every year with Ty.
228
00:11:57,550 --> 00:11:59,343
I always cry at the Jimmy V Award.
229
00:12:00,052 --> 00:12:01,095
As do I.
230
00:12:01,178 --> 00:12:03,681
But heads up,
the T-shirts are one drawer down.
231
00:12:03,764 --> 00:12:05,349
Yeah, but this is way more fun.
232
00:12:05,433 --> 00:12:06,434
[Cal] Hmm.
233
00:12:09,603 --> 00:12:11,522
[pensive music playing]
234
00:12:12,314 --> 00:12:13,315
There's a story.
235
00:12:14,650 --> 00:12:15,650
An explanation.
236
00:12:15,693 --> 00:12:16,986
Wanna share?
237
00:12:17,069 --> 00:12:18,279
Well, I keep that
238
00:12:19,363 --> 00:12:23,617
as a reminder that it takes two people
to screw up a relationship.
239
00:12:25,077 --> 00:12:27,496
Victoria and I
were both all-stars in that sport.
240
00:12:29,123 --> 00:12:30,123
A wise man
241
00:12:31,375 --> 00:12:32,543
once told me
242
00:12:33,961 --> 00:12:36,756
that true forgiveness only happens
243
00:12:36,839 --> 00:12:40,801
when the pain of past relationships
isn't the first thing that you think of
244
00:12:40,885 --> 00:12:42,344
when you wake up in the morning.
245
00:12:42,970 --> 00:12:45,181
I hope that you get that one day soon.
246
00:12:53,439 --> 00:12:55,691
That morning, my love,
247
00:12:56,275 --> 00:12:57,276
has already come.
248
00:12:59,779 --> 00:13:03,616
What I'm looking forward to is the morning
I can wake up with you in my arms.
249
00:13:05,534 --> 00:13:07,536
[sentimental music playing]
250
00:13:19,924 --> 00:13:22,676
I never thought
a stack of paper could make me so happy.
251
00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:23,928
[both laugh]
252
00:13:24,011 --> 00:13:24,929
Well, enjoy it.
253
00:13:25,012 --> 00:13:27,264
We spoke to neighbors,
we researched the law,
254
00:13:27,348 --> 00:13:28,766
we gathered signatures,
255
00:13:28,849 --> 00:13:30,893
we nailed down every requirement
256
00:13:30,976 --> 00:13:33,604
so that the petition
couldn't be bounced out on a technicality,
257
00:13:33,687 --> 00:13:35,898
and now... now that it's all filed, it...
258
00:13:36,607 --> 00:13:38,734
it just... it just feels like minutes.
259
00:13:38,818 --> 00:13:39,652
Yeah.
260
00:13:39,735 --> 00:13:41,821
The good times always go so fast.
261
00:13:41,904 --> 00:13:46,700
As Miss Frances said in her notebook,
"The speed of life will surprise you,
262
00:13:46,784 --> 00:13:50,871
and so will your ability
to remember the sweetest moments."
263
00:13:50,955 --> 00:13:55,167
- We should put that in her program.
- She thought of that. And we are.
264
00:13:55,251 --> 00:13:56,710
[all laughing]
265
00:13:56,794 --> 00:14:00,381
All of her final wishes
are falling into place nicely.
266
00:14:00,881 --> 00:14:03,133
Well, part of me
still can't believe she's gone.
267
00:14:03,217 --> 00:14:04,093
I know.
268
00:14:04,176 --> 00:14:07,471
- I'm gonna miss her something fierce.
- Yeah, we all will.
269
00:14:08,013 --> 00:14:11,141
But she'll continue
to walk with us and motivate us.
270
00:14:11,225 --> 00:14:14,562
Standing up to Mary Vaughn
is proof of what we've learned.
271
00:14:14,645 --> 00:14:17,898
- Would she cower in front of a bully?
- Only while pigs are flying.
272
00:14:17,982 --> 00:14:19,733
- Neither will we.
- Mm-hmm. Let's go.
273
00:14:19,817 --> 00:14:21,777
[laughs] Mmm.
274
00:14:22,403 --> 00:14:24,154
- Let's go sit down, ladies.
- Mmm.
275
00:14:24,238 --> 00:14:25,549
- Ooh, that's good tonight.
- Yeah.
276
00:14:25,573 --> 00:14:26,573
Maddie,
277
00:14:27,116 --> 00:14:30,369
how is Cal handling
being in love with an activist?
278
00:14:30,452 --> 00:14:32,121
- [Maddie] Oh!
- [laughs]
279
00:14:32,204 --> 00:14:34,039
If I'm being honest,
280
00:14:34,123 --> 00:14:36,834
it's kinda thrilling
to be with a man that,
281
00:14:37,418 --> 00:14:39,753
I don't know, supports me.
282
00:14:39,837 --> 00:14:41,589
My passion, my vision.
283
00:14:41,672 --> 00:14:42,756
[Dana Sue] Hmm!
284
00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:44,091
[Dana Sue, Maddie laugh]
285
00:14:44,174 --> 00:14:47,928
So that's where that little rosy glow
and the big smile come from.
286
00:14:48,012 --> 00:14:49,763
Intellectual rapport.
287
00:14:49,847 --> 00:14:51,765
- [Maddie] Mmm.
- [Dana Sue, Helen laugh]
288
00:14:51,849 --> 00:14:55,185
Ugh. When I was sitting there,
watching Bill walk out...
289
00:14:55,269 --> 00:14:56,437
[Helen] Mmm.
290
00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:59,523
...if you asked me, "Maddie,
where are you gonna be next summer?" I...
291
00:15:00,274 --> 00:15:02,484
I could not have imagined
that this was possible.
292
00:15:02,568 --> 00:15:05,362
And all of the peaks
and valleys in between.
293
00:15:05,446 --> 00:15:08,198
I'm living proof
that sorrow can turn to joy.
294
00:15:08,282 --> 00:15:09,282
Hmm.
295
00:15:09,867 --> 00:15:11,327
You give me hope.
296
00:15:12,328 --> 00:15:13,412
How's counseling?
297
00:15:14,496 --> 00:15:15,496
It's...
298
00:15:16,248 --> 00:15:17,248
it's going.
299
00:15:17,958 --> 00:15:19,501
I mean, June is wonderful.
300
00:15:20,252 --> 00:15:21,252
You and Ronnie?
301
00:15:21,670 --> 00:15:23,964
Pushing ourselves to the brink
to try and get it right.
302
00:15:24,048 --> 00:15:27,009
But you... you both still want this?
303
00:15:27,092 --> 00:15:29,386
Oh yeah, I can't tell you how much.
304
00:15:29,470 --> 00:15:30,470
[splutters]
305
00:15:30,888 --> 00:15:33,768
It's just... it's just a whole lot harder
than I thought it was gonna be.
306
00:15:33,807 --> 00:15:34,975
[Helen scoffs]
307
00:15:35,059 --> 00:15:37,645
Come on over here
and preach to the choir, Dana Sue.
308
00:15:38,771 --> 00:15:42,107
- Not you and Erik?
- No. Me and my doctor.
309
00:15:42,191 --> 00:15:44,610
Oh. That's right.
How was your appointment?
310
00:15:45,361 --> 00:15:48,447
If you were to ask me
where I wanna be next summer,
311
00:15:48,530 --> 00:15:51,158
I'd say sitting in Town Square,
312
00:15:51,241 --> 00:15:53,994
soaking up the sun, holding my baby.
313
00:15:56,830 --> 00:15:57,830
[inhales sharply]
314
00:15:57,873 --> 00:16:00,501
What if I'm the next Miss Frances, hmm?
315
00:16:01,043 --> 00:16:05,089
Devoted to the community but alone.
316
00:16:05,172 --> 00:16:07,091
Okay. Hold on one hot second.
317
00:16:07,174 --> 00:16:11,470
You have never nor will you ever be alone.
318
00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:15,099
Hey, listen. We know you want a baby,
319
00:16:15,182 --> 00:16:17,977
and we support you
however you choose to have that child,
320
00:16:18,060 --> 00:16:19,520
but in the meantime,
321
00:16:20,187 --> 00:16:22,439
remember all the lives you have changed.
322
00:16:22,523 --> 00:16:24,608
As a lawyer, a town leader,
323
00:16:24,692 --> 00:16:26,026
a godmother.
324
00:16:26,110 --> 00:16:27,110
A friend.
325
00:16:27,152 --> 00:16:30,698
Uh, we have a reputation to uphold, missy.
326
00:16:30,781 --> 00:16:32,116
- Yes, we do.
- [all laugh]
327
00:16:32,199 --> 00:16:34,326
We are the sweet girls
whose dreams blossom.
328
00:16:34,410 --> 00:16:35,828
- Oh yes.
- Yeah.
329
00:16:35,911 --> 00:16:36,911
[inhales]
330
00:16:36,954 --> 00:16:38,706
- To Miss Frances.
- Yeah.
331
00:16:39,289 --> 00:16:40,499
And that lemonade stand.
332
00:16:41,625 --> 00:16:44,878
And all of the good things
that have been poured out since.
333
00:16:44,962 --> 00:16:47,339
[sentimental music playing]
334
00:16:47,423 --> 00:16:49,550
[all chuckle]
335
00:16:49,633 --> 00:16:50,509
Don't feel bad.
336
00:16:50,592 --> 00:16:53,470
I have been family Putt-Putt champion
three years running.
337
00:16:54,054 --> 00:16:55,973
You didn't think
that was key info to share
338
00:16:56,056 --> 00:16:59,435
when I invited you out for miniature golf?
339
00:17:00,352 --> 00:17:01,395
Surprise?
340
00:17:02,062 --> 00:17:05,691
I demand a rematch.
I won't be foiled by the windmill again.
341
00:17:05,774 --> 00:17:08,277
Okay, I'll put my crown on the line.
342
00:17:10,654 --> 00:17:12,322
[emotional music playing]
343
00:17:16,577 --> 00:17:18,120
Thanks for a great night.
344
00:17:18,203 --> 00:17:20,330
You're the reason it was so much fun.
345
00:17:29,006 --> 00:17:31,133
I'm glad I gave you a second chance.
346
00:17:31,967 --> 00:17:33,594
And got to know you better.
347
00:17:34,219 --> 00:17:37,639
I gotta ask. What finally won you over?
348
00:17:37,723 --> 00:17:39,266
The origami camera?
349
00:17:39,349 --> 00:17:40,601
[laughs] No.
350
00:17:42,436 --> 00:17:45,064
You were willing to show me
who you really are.
351
00:17:45,147 --> 00:17:47,149
[emotional music continues]
352
00:17:47,232 --> 00:17:49,318
[sobs]
353
00:18:02,539 --> 00:18:03,540
Mary Vaughn?
354
00:18:03,624 --> 00:18:07,169
I am hard-pressed to describe
the depths of my disappointment.
355
00:18:07,252 --> 00:18:11,548
You and your Not-So-Sweet Magnolias
stupidly went through with your ambush.
356
00:18:11,632 --> 00:18:13,592
An ambush is secret.
357
00:18:13,675 --> 00:18:16,804
We told you
exactly what we were doing and why.
358
00:18:16,887 --> 00:18:18,263
The people have spoken.
359
00:18:18,347 --> 00:18:20,849
After they were confused
by your exaggerations and lies.
360
00:18:20,933 --> 00:18:22,601
And how many of those signatures
361
00:18:22,684 --> 00:18:25,437
have real people,
actual registered voters, attached?
362
00:18:25,521 --> 00:18:28,023
We'll leave that
for the town clerk to verify.
363
00:18:28,524 --> 00:18:30,984
The town charter
gives her 48 hours to do so.
364
00:18:31,068 --> 00:18:34,738
Which means you still have time
to withdraw your petition.
365
00:18:34,822 --> 00:18:36,949
You would be wise to do so.
366
00:18:37,032 --> 00:18:39,535
Let me give that proposal
the same consideration
367
00:18:39,618 --> 00:18:42,913
that you and your husband
have given the citizens of Serenity.
368
00:18:43,705 --> 00:18:44,705
No.
369
00:18:45,165 --> 00:18:46,834
Shortsighted and foolhardy.
370
00:18:47,543 --> 00:18:48,543
[scoffs softly]
371
00:18:50,879 --> 00:18:52,047
Don't forget,
372
00:18:52,631 --> 00:18:54,883
I hold Cal's fate in my hands.
373
00:18:54,967 --> 00:18:57,094
[pensive music playing]
374
00:18:57,177 --> 00:18:58,177
[door closes]
375
00:18:58,679 --> 00:19:00,119
[Helen] I'm sorry, I'm running late.
376
00:19:00,889 --> 00:19:04,393
And if your boss can't be
a little flexible with your lunch break,
377
00:19:04,476 --> 00:19:06,687
I'd be happy to talk to her, Erik.
378
00:19:06,770 --> 00:19:07,896
[laughs]
379
00:19:07,980 --> 00:19:08,980
[knocking at door]
380
00:19:09,022 --> 00:19:11,525
Just... just let me deal with
whoever's at the door,
381
00:19:11,608 --> 00:19:14,027
and I'll be on my way. Hold on. Come in!
382
00:19:14,111 --> 00:19:15,195
- [chuckles]
- [door opens]
383
00:19:15,279 --> 00:19:16,321
Yeah.
384
00:19:16,405 --> 00:19:19,158
- Okay. I'll be right there. Okay, bye.
- [door closes]
385
00:19:20,325 --> 00:19:21,325
Right.
386
00:19:23,745 --> 00:19:24,745
Helen.
387
00:19:26,748 --> 00:19:27,748
Ryan.
388
00:19:28,375 --> 00:19:29,751
I'm sorry I didn't call first.
389
00:19:29,835 --> 00:19:32,212
I can feel Aunt Frances
wagging a finger from heaven.
390
00:19:33,630 --> 00:19:34,882
I'm...
391
00:19:34,965 --> 00:19:37,801
I'm so sorry for your loss.
392
00:19:37,885 --> 00:19:39,386
For Serenity's loss.
393
00:19:39,928 --> 00:19:42,139
- Do you have a moment?
- [Helen] Uh, only a moment.
394
00:19:42,222 --> 00:19:44,349
- I'm on my way out.
- I went by your office.
395
00:19:44,433 --> 00:19:45,434
I made some changes.
396
00:19:46,018 --> 00:19:47,978
- I hope you've been well.
- Ryan.
397
00:19:48,562 --> 00:19:50,981
- I mean it.
- What can I do for you?
398
00:19:51,064 --> 00:19:53,775
I came to talk through
the service and celebration.
399
00:19:54,651 --> 00:19:56,820
Of course. Of course. Um...
400
00:19:57,654 --> 00:19:58,739
Wh... when?
401
00:19:59,406 --> 00:20:03,118
Well, you tell me. You Magnolias are doing
such a wonderful job with the planning,
402
00:20:03,202 --> 00:20:07,748
I feel like I don't have much to do
except talk to Peggy.
403
00:20:09,333 --> 00:20:12,085
Peg... Peggy's not helping
with the arrangements.
404
00:20:12,169 --> 00:20:13,837
Why does she need to talk to you?
405
00:20:18,050 --> 00:20:21,762
Well, um... I'll... I'll call you.
406
00:20:21,845 --> 00:20:24,932
Yes, I should, um, check in
to the B and B and get some sleep.
407
00:20:25,474 --> 00:20:27,893
Getting back came at the cost
of two cramped bus rides
408
00:20:27,976 --> 00:20:29,061
and a brutal red-eye.
409
00:20:29,144 --> 00:20:30,771
- [Helen chuckles]
- [Ryan exhales]
410
00:20:33,649 --> 00:20:34,733
It's good to see you.
411
00:20:36,568 --> 00:20:38,362
[emotional music playing]
412
00:20:38,445 --> 00:20:39,613
[door opens]
413
00:20:40,739 --> 00:20:42,199
- [door closes]
- [exhales]
414
00:20:43,408 --> 00:20:45,535
[breathes shakily]
415
00:20:46,828 --> 00:20:48,163
[breathes deeply]
416
00:20:49,581 --> 00:20:53,293
So the boys are bringing
Miss Frances's books over from her place,
417
00:20:53,377 --> 00:20:57,005
and Dana Sue successfully enlisted Ronnie
to make the Little Free Libraries.
418
00:20:57,089 --> 00:20:59,591
Oh, well, I'm glad
those two are talking again.
419
00:20:59,675 --> 00:21:01,385
Oh, they're doing more than just talking.
420
00:21:02,010 --> 00:21:04,137
- [chuckles] Even better.
- Mm-hmm.
421
00:21:04,846 --> 00:21:08,267
Okay, so I've arranged
the organist for the funeral,
422
00:21:08,350 --> 00:21:12,604
the vocalist for the interment,
and the bluegrass band for the party.
423
00:21:12,688 --> 00:21:15,274
Oh, and I made sure that they know
"Angel From Montgomery,"
424
00:21:15,357 --> 00:21:20,904
because Frances had a crush on John Prine
that bordered on the indecent, and...
425
00:21:22,990 --> 00:21:24,032
[cries] Oh...
426
00:21:24,908 --> 00:21:25,908
Mama.
427
00:21:26,243 --> 00:21:27,327
[exhales]
428
00:21:27,411 --> 00:21:28,578
How are you doing?
429
00:21:29,454 --> 00:21:30,454
Hmm.
430
00:21:31,373 --> 00:21:34,209
Oh, darling, I... I miss my friend.
431
00:21:35,294 --> 00:21:38,505
But she is in a glorious place.
432
00:21:38,588 --> 00:21:39,715
- [Maddie] Mm-hmm.
- Mmm.
433
00:21:40,299 --> 00:21:44,886
And I have a... a certain peace
in the wonderful memories we created.
434
00:21:45,971 --> 00:21:46,971
[laughs]
435
00:21:47,014 --> 00:21:48,014
Whenever we saw...
436
00:21:48,056 --> 00:21:51,143
Whenever we saw each other,
we'd say, "Do you remember when..."
437
00:21:53,061 --> 00:21:55,188
Even though, of course, we always did.
438
00:21:57,983 --> 00:22:01,778
When you've been friends over the decades,
those stories become a, um...
439
00:22:01,862 --> 00:22:04,781
a connection to your truth.
440
00:22:05,907 --> 00:22:08,660
A reminder of who you were
441
00:22:09,828 --> 00:22:11,330
and how you became who you are.
442
00:22:13,957 --> 00:22:18,337
[sighs] Revising my own final plans
to replace Frances is hard.
443
00:22:19,463 --> 00:22:21,506
[chuckles] I always thought
she'd outlive us all.
444
00:22:22,299 --> 00:22:23,300
Wait.
445
00:22:23,383 --> 00:22:25,177
You have a notebook?
446
00:22:25,260 --> 00:22:27,220
No, no, I have a strongbox.
447
00:22:28,013 --> 00:22:30,140
You should have your affairs in order too.
448
00:22:30,223 --> 00:22:33,810
I mean, certainly, Helen told you
to revise your will when you got divorced?
449
00:22:33,894 --> 00:22:34,770
That is different.
450
00:22:34,853 --> 00:22:37,689
You know, I have to make sure
the kids are taken care of.
451
00:22:37,773 --> 00:22:38,774
[chuckles]
452
00:22:39,566 --> 00:22:40,901
I have people
453
00:22:41,735 --> 00:22:43,320
to take care of too.
454
00:22:44,446 --> 00:22:47,366
So, my strongbox
is on the third shelf of the linen closet,
455
00:22:47,449 --> 00:22:49,493
and the combination is your birthday.
456
00:22:49,576 --> 00:22:51,161
And I told Helen all of this,
457
00:22:51,244 --> 00:22:53,413
so you don't have to fret
about remembering.
458
00:22:53,497 --> 00:22:56,625
I just want everything
to be as worry-free as possible for you.
459
00:22:57,125 --> 00:22:58,168
I can't.
460
00:23:01,463 --> 00:23:02,714
I won't...
461
00:23:05,467 --> 00:23:07,427
think about your not being with us.
462
00:23:07,928 --> 00:23:11,765
Which is why
I discussed everything with Helen.
463
00:23:13,517 --> 00:23:15,560
It's not just that you're my mama,
464
00:23:16,853 --> 00:23:18,605
and I love you more than I can say.
465
00:23:19,189 --> 00:23:20,857
I talk to you every day.
466
00:23:20,941 --> 00:23:24,528
You are my living example of dreaming big
and thinking creatively
467
00:23:24,611 --> 00:23:28,615
and... [sniffles] ...disregarding all the dirt
in Serenity's rumor mill.
468
00:23:28,698 --> 00:23:29,825
[chuckles softly]
469
00:23:31,076 --> 00:23:33,620
I would not have gotten through
my divorce without you.
470
00:23:33,703 --> 00:23:34,788
Oh...
471
00:23:34,871 --> 00:23:38,083
And Ty and Kyle and Katie, they adore you.
472
00:23:38,166 --> 00:23:39,251
[sniffles]
473
00:23:40,710 --> 00:23:42,838
Mama, you're at the center of this family.
474
00:23:42,921 --> 00:23:43,922
Sweet girl.
475
00:23:45,132 --> 00:23:49,386
Just because I have a plan
doesn't mean I'm in a hurry to leave.
476
00:23:49,469 --> 00:23:50,637
[chuckles]
477
00:23:51,513 --> 00:23:52,764
And when I do go,
478
00:23:53,390 --> 00:23:57,018
I will be your biggest fan for eternity.
479
00:23:57,894 --> 00:24:01,022
I will always be a voice in your ear
480
00:24:01,857 --> 00:24:03,483
and a beat in your heart.
481
00:24:06,153 --> 00:24:07,153
[sniffles]
482
00:24:07,612 --> 00:24:08,613
[exhales]
483
00:24:09,197 --> 00:24:10,198
[sniffles]
484
00:24:16,288 --> 00:24:18,516
[Howie] I... I knew you'd be a great parent
by the patience
485
00:24:18,540 --> 00:24:20,459
and compassion you showed our patients.
486
00:24:20,542 --> 00:24:23,920
Well, I just wanted them
to get back to their best selves.
487
00:24:24,004 --> 00:24:24,880
Here.
488
00:24:24,963 --> 00:24:26,506
Which is why I stopped by.
489
00:24:27,716 --> 00:24:31,470
I have a favor to ask,
and I know, with Rebecca, it's a big one.
490
00:24:32,679 --> 00:24:35,700
I didn't wanna put you on the spot
in front of Bill yesterday at the checkup.
491
00:24:35,724 --> 00:24:37,934
[sighs] I appreciate that, Howie.
492
00:24:38,018 --> 00:24:41,521
And I appreciate how kind
and gracious you've always been to me.
493
00:24:41,605 --> 00:24:45,901
Even after the mess
Bill and I made at the practice.
494
00:24:45,984 --> 00:24:47,694
Life's messy, Noreen,
495
00:24:47,777 --> 00:24:49,905
but you can always count on me
as a friend.
496
00:24:51,156 --> 00:24:52,156
Likewise.
497
00:24:52,574 --> 00:24:53,950
So ask away.
498
00:24:54,451 --> 00:24:57,829
Well, Collins Littlefield
just had hernia surgery.
499
00:24:57,913 --> 00:24:59,080
He's laid up at his house
500
00:24:59,164 --> 00:25:01,708
and needs someone
to look after him for a couple days.
501
00:25:01,791 --> 00:25:03,835
Frankly, it's less about nursing
502
00:25:03,919 --> 00:25:06,296
and more about
making sure he behaves while he heals.
503
00:25:06,379 --> 00:25:07,506
I can imagine.
504
00:25:07,589 --> 00:25:10,133
He and Miss Frances
were in a senior circle.
505
00:25:10,217 --> 00:25:11,927
They all check in on each other.
506
00:25:12,552 --> 00:25:15,931
Miss Frances would call
or swing by every morning.
507
00:25:16,014 --> 00:25:17,265
That's beautiful.
508
00:25:17,349 --> 00:25:18,892
He's taking her loss hard.
509
00:25:19,768 --> 00:25:21,269
Collins wouldn't say so,
510
00:25:21,811 --> 00:25:23,813
but the daily company
might do him some good.
511
00:25:23,897 --> 00:25:26,399
And I think he'd be more open
to an arrangement
512
00:25:26,483 --> 00:25:28,193
if it's someone that he likes...
513
00:25:28,276 --> 00:25:30,570
- [Rebecca coos]
- ...and her sweet baby.
514
00:25:31,738 --> 00:25:33,406
- [both chuckle]
- [Rebecca coos]
515
00:25:33,990 --> 00:25:35,659
No need for flattery, Howie.
516
00:25:36,243 --> 00:25:39,538
Serenity's my home now.
Neighbors look out for each other.
517
00:25:40,830 --> 00:25:43,583
[Peggy] I'm sorry
this is what brought you home,
518
00:25:43,667 --> 00:25:45,627
but it is good to have you back.
519
00:25:45,710 --> 00:25:46,628
[laughs]
520
00:25:46,711 --> 00:25:48,391
I'm not clear why you asked me to stop by.
521
00:25:48,463 --> 00:25:53,510
Well, I wanted to discuss
your, uh... your level of comfort
522
00:25:53,593 --> 00:25:56,555
in having The Sentinel report
on the events surrounding
523
00:25:56,638 --> 00:25:57,764
your aunt's funeral.
524
00:25:57,847 --> 00:26:00,934
I'm writing an appreciation,
but it doesn't seem enough.
525
00:26:01,017 --> 00:26:03,019
Everyone loved her so much.
526
00:26:03,603 --> 00:26:04,896
Aunt Frances always said
527
00:26:05,438 --> 00:26:08,066
she wanted to be remembered
by the people she helped.
528
00:26:08,567 --> 00:26:10,652
- Not by the people who were watching.
- [laughing]
529
00:26:10,735 --> 00:26:13,321
I'm sure your appreciation
will be lovely and sufficient.
530
00:26:13,405 --> 00:26:16,074
I appreciate that.
Is there a favorite picture
531
00:26:16,157 --> 00:26:18,077
that you would like
for us to run with the piece?
532
00:26:18,118 --> 00:26:20,996
The one that was in the yearbook
the last few years she taught.
533
00:26:21,079 --> 00:26:24,541
- I'm fairly sure I have a digital copy.
- Well, here.
534
00:26:25,625 --> 00:26:27,711
You can email or text it to me.
535
00:26:27,794 --> 00:26:30,880
I don't mean to drag you back over here
when you have so much to do.
536
00:26:30,964 --> 00:26:32,007
Not a problem.
537
00:26:34,217 --> 00:26:36,094
- It's good to see you.
- You too.
538
00:26:38,179 --> 00:26:39,179
Hey, Ry.
539
00:26:39,639 --> 00:26:41,433
Um, will you be staying a bit?
540
00:26:41,933 --> 00:26:43,518
It'd be nice to talk to you again.
541
00:26:44,477 --> 00:26:47,480
Maybe do an article
on everything you've been up to.
542
00:26:47,564 --> 00:26:51,067
[exhales] Depends on whether
there's something worth staying for.
543
00:26:52,485 --> 00:26:53,695
I will let you know.
544
00:26:54,738 --> 00:26:56,740
[pensive music playing]
545
00:27:00,493 --> 00:27:03,246
Okay. I've got the vases.
I'm gonna head out.
546
00:27:03,330 --> 00:27:04,664
Thank you, sweetheart.
547
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:10,837
Before I go, um,
I just got the most amazing invite.
548
00:27:11,963 --> 00:27:14,049
Next weekend,
I don't have a shift at the restaurant.
549
00:27:14,132 --> 00:27:18,345
I'll have finished one of my summer books,
I got my highest grades yet last quarter,
550
00:27:18,428 --> 00:27:21,348
and I'll stream Sunday service online
instead of being there in person.
551
00:27:22,140 --> 00:27:23,600
And this allows you to...
552
00:27:23,683 --> 00:27:26,978
Go with Lily to her parents' lake house
for the weekend. Please?
553
00:27:28,521 --> 00:27:29,898
Who else is gonna be there?
554
00:27:29,981 --> 00:27:30,981
Lily's mom.
555
00:27:31,650 --> 00:27:32,734
The whole time?
556
00:27:32,817 --> 00:27:33,817
Most of it.
557
00:27:35,820 --> 00:27:37,197
Thank you for explaining.
558
00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:39,574
- It sounds really exciting.
- Is that a yes?
559
00:27:39,658 --> 00:27:42,202
But I don't know Lily that well,
560
00:27:42,285 --> 00:27:44,204
and I don't know her mother at all.
561
00:27:44,287 --> 00:27:46,831
So this has to be a no.
562
00:27:50,210 --> 00:27:52,003
Okay. Just thought I'd ask.
563
00:27:52,087 --> 00:27:53,171
I'll be back soon.

I didn't mean to.

I might not have gotten a chance
to hear the song otherwise.

to inflict it on you.

[Annie] Do I even want to know
why you're dressed like this?

00:29:14,961 --> 00:29:17,255
Kyle and his friends
are making this really cool game,

00:29:17,338 --> 00:29:20,216
but that might not be
the reason why he's dressed like that.

Hey, creativity knows no boundaries.

00:29:33,229 --> 00:29:37,066
Well, if the game is half as wild
as this costume, it'll be a huge hit.

Yeah. She's right. A huge hit!

So see you soon?

- When do I get to play the game?

Ah! Respect to my fellow artiste.

Do you know what this character needs?

- Spiked hair.
- Really?
615
00:30:12,143 --> 00:30:14,979
Yeah. I... I have some wax left over
from that stupid Spirit Week
616
00:30:15,063 --> 00:30:16,943
when the whole team did it.
Wanna give it a try?

- Sure.
- All right.

I'd carry them to lighten your load.

around my shoulders too?

about not being happy about the petition,

about something bad happening to you

if we don't stand down.

that boy's meat into bite-size pieces
632

while I serve him off of a silver platter,
633
00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:13,830
that cannot stop you and your friends
634
00:31:13,913 --> 00:31:15,748
from the good work
you are doing for Serenity.
635
00:31:15,832 --> 00:31:18,084
But I don't want you
to be collateral damage.
636
00:31:18,167 --> 00:31:19,669
As Harriet Beecher Stowe said,
637
00:31:20,211 --> 00:31:21,421
"Never give up,

for that is just the place and time
the tide will turn."

00:31:25,091 --> 00:31:26,509
So you don't stop,
640
00:31:26,593 --> 00:31:29,095
and I will be by your side the entire way.

00:31:31,139 --> 00:31:33,600

Okay, your strength makes me feel safe.
646
00:31:52,493 --> 00:31:55,872
Your... confidence elevates mine.

- Hi.
- Hi.
654
00:32:18,978 --> 00:32:22,565
Okay, so I have thought about
what my vows mean,
655
00:32:22,649 --> 00:32:24,901
and I'm ready to talk through them.
656
00:32:25,485 --> 00:32:26,319
You ready?
657
00:32:26,402 --> 00:32:30,031
Yeah. I don't understand
why you can so easily remember your vows,
658
00:32:30,114 --> 00:32:31,824
and it is so hard for me.
659
00:32:32,450 --> 00:32:34,577
Babe, it's not a competition.
660
00:32:34,661 --> 00:32:35,787
I know that.
661
00:32:36,287 --> 00:32:40,833
What I don't know
is why I just can't do it!
662
00:32:40,917 --> 00:32:43,127
It's okay. All right? So let's...
663
00:32:43,878 --> 00:32:47,382
let's try a... a different approach.
664
00:32:47,465 --> 00:32:48,465
All right?
665
00:32:49,008 --> 00:32:50,927
Let's just forget about it, huh?
666
00:32:51,552 --> 00:32:54,681
And let's start our new chapter.
667
00:32:56,641 --> 00:32:57,641
[scoffs]
668
00:33:00,144 --> 00:33:03,856
How am I supposed to do that
when my heart is still broken?
669
00:33:05,191 --> 00:33:06,901
See, I've tried to move on,
670
00:33:06,985 --> 00:33:11,197
but I can't stop feeling
like I was just worthless.
671
00:33:12,949 --> 00:33:17,245
I mean, why else push me aside
for whiskey and some random woman?
672
00:33:18,454 --> 00:33:21,874
You know, when Annie asked me
why you were gone,
673
00:33:21,958 --> 00:33:25,920
I could only tell her about the drinking
because I couldn't make myself say
674
00:33:26,004 --> 00:33:31,926
that you had been unfaithful
because it... it killed me to even think it.
675
00:33:32,969 --> 00:33:37,015
You gave that woman something so precious.
676
00:33:37,724 --> 00:33:41,310
So how can you say
that she didn't mean anything?
677
00:33:42,770 --> 00:33:46,816
And how much can your vows
really mean when you trashed 'em?
678
00:33:48,234 --> 00:33:50,653
I can recite
all the lyrics to "I Love Rock 'n Roll,"
679
00:33:50,737 --> 00:33:53,114
but that don't mean
I'm going on tour, does it?!
680
00:33:53,740 --> 00:33:54,741
[exclaims] Why?!
681
00:33:54,824 --> 00:33:58,369
Why didn't you just tell me
that you were unhappy?
682
00:34:01,039 --> 00:34:04,917
You know that couple that said
all those sweet things to each other?
683
00:34:06,252 --> 00:34:07,754
You destroyed them!
684
00:34:08,963 --> 00:34:11,132
You did! And they are gone!
685
00:34:12,759 --> 00:34:14,385
Just like you need to be.
686
00:34:17,346 --> 00:34:19,557

687
00:34:28,775 --> 00:34:29,984

[Peggy laughing]
689
00:34:36,657 --> 00:34:38,910
I was more afraid of Miss Frances
than I was of my daddy,
690
00:34:38,993 --> 00:34:41,454
so I had my life flash before my eyes
691
00:34:41,537 --> 00:34:43,790
three or four times
during that long walk to his office.
692
00:34:43,873 --> 00:34:46,459
And I think she might have liked
to see me sweat a bit.
693
00:34:46,542 --> 00:34:47,585
[laughs] Oh yes.
694
00:34:47,668 --> 00:34:50,755
But it was all so that she could surprise
me and my dad together with the news
695
00:34:50,838 --> 00:34:53,049
that I'd gotten
the Chamber of Commerce Scholarship.
696
00:34:55,426 --> 00:34:56,677
She will be missed.
697
00:34:58,888 --> 00:35:02,100
- Thank you, Trent. That was lovely.
- My pleasure. If there's nothing else...
698
00:35:02,183 --> 00:35:04,936
- Oh, there is one more thing.
- Ah, shoot.
699
00:35:06,604 --> 00:35:08,022
You need to understand,
700
00:35:08,731 --> 00:35:11,067
I'm not going to keep
your secrets anymore.
701
00:35:13,736 --> 00:35:15,738
[exhales, sniffs]
702
00:35:24,914 --> 00:35:25,915
- Hey.
- [Maddie] Hey.
703
00:35:26,499 --> 00:35:27,500
How was PT?
704
00:35:28,042 --> 00:35:31,796
Uh, it was brutal, as usual.
But anything to get back on the field.
705
00:35:34,882 --> 00:35:35,882
What's up?
706
00:35:40,555 --> 00:35:43,182
[Cal] I got
the Division I recruiting schedules.
707
00:35:45,768 --> 00:35:48,312
They don't line up
with your timetable for full recovery.
708
00:35:49,897 --> 00:35:53,693
The schools that you were hoping to attend
may not be an option anymore.
709
00:35:54,193 --> 00:35:56,195
[melancholy music playing]
710
00:35:57,905 --> 00:35:59,532
So all those hours in rehab?
711
00:36:01,159 --> 00:36:05,121
All those years
practicing, competing, and training.
712
00:36:05,204 --> 00:36:08,040
- It's all... it's all been for nothing?
- No. Never nothing.
713
00:36:08,124 --> 00:36:10,334
But the bridge you're talking about,
Coach, this is it!
714
00:36:10,418 --> 00:36:13,021
- Ty, there are other ways forward.
- [Cal] I've already reached out.
715
00:36:13,045 --> 00:36:14,106
There are great programs...
716
00:36:14,130 --> 00:36:16,716
I... I don't wanna talk about
Team Almost-Good-Enough!
717
00:36:17,425 --> 00:36:20,761
There was never a time
where DI baseball wasn't my goal!
718
00:36:23,723 --> 00:36:27,268
Y'all are gonna have to give me a second
to get over the fact that I lost my dream
719
00:36:27,351 --> 00:36:29,687
in one stupid night!
720
00:36:38,487 --> 00:36:39,530
[blows]
721
00:36:40,281 --> 00:36:41,199
[whistles]
722
00:36:41,282 --> 00:36:43,326
You know, it's great
to see you in a workshop again.
723
00:36:43,409 --> 00:36:45,203
Kinda like back
when you made my dollhouse.
724
00:36:45,286 --> 00:36:49,582
Ah! Yeah, that was a beaut.
Surprised you gave that to Katie.
725
00:36:49,665 --> 00:36:52,251
She basically moved in to my room
so she could play with it.
726
00:36:52,335 --> 00:36:55,254
It was either that or make space
for her clothes in my closet.
727
00:36:55,922 --> 00:36:58,382
- I can make you another one.
- Appreciate that.
728
00:37:00,218 --> 00:37:03,471
So my friend Lily,
uh, her family just came to town.
729
00:37:03,554 --> 00:37:04,680
They go to Prince of Peace,
730
00:37:04,764 --> 00:37:07,433
and Lily and I led a group together
for Vacation Bible School.
731
00:37:07,516 --> 00:37:11,145
Yeah, you've mentioned her before.
I'm glad you have a new friend.
732
00:37:11,229 --> 00:37:12,396
She's awesome.
733
00:37:13,231 --> 00:37:16,651
She even invited me to go
to the family's lake house this weekend.
734
00:37:16,734 --> 00:37:17,860
Is it okay if I go?
735
00:37:18,903 --> 00:37:21,405
Well, what did your mother say?
736
00:37:23,699 --> 00:37:24,699
No.
737
00:37:25,660 --> 00:37:27,203
Why are you asking me?
738
00:37:27,912 --> 00:37:29,830
Because I thought you'd say yes.
739
00:37:29,914 --> 00:37:30,957
[chuckles softly]
740
00:37:31,999 --> 00:37:32,999
Don't do that.
741
00:37:33,417 --> 00:37:36,462
Come on, the one thing
your mother and I have never wavered in
742
00:37:36,545 --> 00:37:37,630
is raising you right.
743
00:37:40,132 --> 00:37:41,132
Respect that?
744
00:37:42,927 --> 00:37:43,927
Thank you.
745
00:37:47,515 --> 00:37:48,349
[Sophie giggles]
746
00:37:48,432 --> 00:37:51,435
Our game won't have a stupid cliffhanger
like Realms of Tyranny.
747
00:37:51,519 --> 00:37:54,480
[chuckles] Or that stupid
"you were the villain!" revelation
748
00:37:54,563 --> 00:37:56,607
at the end of The Spider's Broken Web.
749
00:37:56,691 --> 00:37:58,025
[laughs]
750
00:37:58,109 --> 00:38:01,153
You know, Nellie might have
some thoughts about that final twist.
751
00:38:03,447 --> 00:38:06,951
You know, we talk nonstop about the game,
and I'm all about that,
752
00:38:07,034 --> 00:38:10,496
but let's pause
and toggle your character tab a bit.
753
00:38:10,579 --> 00:38:15,793
You're super fun and talented
and just really great people. [chuckles]
754
00:38:15,876 --> 00:38:17,336
[chuckles] Thanks?
755
00:38:17,420 --> 00:38:20,840
But for someone who's so smart,
you're a complete idiot about Nellie.
756
00:38:21,674 --> 00:38:22,674
What?
757
00:38:23,175 --> 00:38:24,975
I was hoping
you would realize it on your own,
758
00:38:25,011 --> 00:38:26,721
but clearly,
I have to give you a hint box.
759
00:38:27,596 --> 00:38:30,156
I'm... I'm not even close
to following what you're talking about.
760
00:38:30,182 --> 00:38:31,392
Kyle. [scoffs]
761
00:38:32,101 --> 00:38:35,229
You brought Nellie into our crew,
you always stick up for her,
762
00:38:35,313 --> 00:38:38,065
and you keep bringing her up
when she's not related to the topic.
763
00:38:38,149 --> 00:38:39,025
You're into her.
764
00:38:39,108 --> 00:38:42,611
- No, no. I don't think of her like that.
- Well, you should.
765
00:38:44,030 --> 00:38:45,406
I read these things well.
766
00:38:46,657 --> 00:38:48,868
And you'd make a great fit.
767
00:38:52,204 --> 00:38:54,165
Accept the true quest.
768
00:38:55,416 --> 00:38:56,416
Go for Nellie.
769
00:39:00,171 --> 00:39:02,340
[Tyler] Nana and Mom found
a whole bunch of pictures
770
00:39:02,423 --> 00:39:04,175
of "The Little Magnolias"
with Miss Frances.
771
00:39:04,258 --> 00:39:05,134
[Helen] Yeah.
772
00:39:05,217 --> 00:39:07,720
In case you wanna put 'em
in a slideshow at church.
773
00:39:07,803 --> 00:39:09,722
Oh, I'm so glad that they found these.
774
00:39:09,805 --> 00:39:13,392
I think that all of mine from that era
are with my mama down in Florida.
775
00:39:13,476 --> 00:39:14,560
[Helen chuckles]
776
00:39:18,564 --> 00:39:20,066
Anything else on your mind?
777
00:39:21,275 --> 00:39:23,235
Is, uh, CeCe working today?
778
00:39:23,319 --> 00:39:27,656
No, uh, she and her mother drove up
to North Carolina to look at colleges.
779
00:39:30,659 --> 00:39:33,371
- She's going to college?
- [Helen] She's exploring her options.
780
00:39:33,454 --> 00:39:37,666
It's a new idea for her and her parents,
but she's really excited.
781
00:39:39,043 --> 00:39:42,380
- She didn't tell you.
- We're not exactly talking anymore.
782
00:39:44,215 --> 00:39:45,257
We broke up.
783
00:39:45,341 --> 00:39:46,509
Oh, Ty.
784
00:39:47,009 --> 00:39:49,553
- I'm so sorry.
- She didn't tell you?
785
00:39:49,637 --> 00:39:51,555
I don't ask about her personal life.
786
00:39:53,015 --> 00:39:55,893
And I won't ask about yours.
787
00:39:58,104 --> 00:39:59,605
Unless you want me to.
788
00:40:02,775 --> 00:40:04,693
Mmm, I'm not sure what went wrong.
789
00:40:05,653 --> 00:40:08,072
I mean, I... I know why she got angry,
790
00:40:08,155 --> 00:40:11,784
but when I wanted to talk it through,
she didn't want to, so...
791
00:40:11,867 --> 00:40:12,868
Love is hard.
792
00:40:12,952 --> 00:40:16,163
And first love is the worst.
793
00:40:16,247 --> 00:40:18,582
Well, I... I'm not sure I'm...
794
00:40:19,583 --> 00:40:20,835
was in love with her.
795
00:40:20,918 --> 00:40:24,046
You let her into your heart
to whatever degree.
796
00:40:24,130 --> 00:40:25,464
That leaves a mark.
797
00:40:26,465 --> 00:40:27,465
Forever.
798
00:40:28,801 --> 00:40:30,302
And... and... [scoffs]
799
00:40:30,970 --> 00:40:33,139
I'm not judging or... or lecturing.
800
00:40:33,222 --> 00:40:34,974
I'm just... I'm just sharing.
801
00:40:36,559 --> 00:40:39,019
But the people we love first,
802
00:40:39,103 --> 00:40:42,815
maybe even before we fully know
what it means to be loved,
803
00:40:42,898 --> 00:40:45,151
they're with us from that day forward.
804
00:40:45,234 --> 00:40:47,319
And even if you try not to, you... you...
805
00:40:48,028 --> 00:40:52,366
You measure every person
who comes after them against them.
806
00:40:52,950 --> 00:40:55,369
Better or... or worse,
807
00:40:56,412 --> 00:40:57,705
not as funny,
808
00:40:58,747 --> 00:41:00,666
weirder taste in music...
809
00:41:00,749 --> 00:41:02,501
- Simpler coffee orders.
- Eh.
810
00:41:05,421 --> 00:41:06,297
[inhales]
811
00:41:06,380 --> 00:41:08,591
So, here's what I try to do about that.
812
00:41:08,674 --> 00:41:09,842
[both chuckle]
813
00:41:11,177 --> 00:41:14,346
I try to be grateful
for what that person taught me
814
00:41:14,430 --> 00:41:18,225
about the world and about myself.
815
00:41:19,602 --> 00:41:24,398
But not let remembering the first
keep me from seeing the next
816
00:41:24,482 --> 00:41:27,401
as the... completely unique
817
00:41:27,485 --> 00:41:30,779
and... utterly marvelous...
818
00:41:33,365 --> 00:41:36,410
even if slightly guarded person
that they may be.
819
00:41:37,369 --> 00:41:38,662
- Aunt Helen?
- [Helen] Hmm?
820
00:41:40,247 --> 00:41:42,583
Do you think
you can ever go back to the first?
821
00:41:48,464 --> 00:41:50,466
[emotional music playing]
822
00:41:52,718 --> 00:41:53,718
Maybe.
823
00:41:56,680 --> 00:41:57,765
Maybe.
824
00:42:01,393 --> 00:42:02,853
As long as you're not going there
825
00:42:02,937 --> 00:42:05,481
because you're running
from something else.
826
00:42:07,191 --> 00:42:08,191
Hey.
827
00:42:09,944 --> 00:42:12,363
You know your worth first,
828
00:42:12,988 --> 00:42:14,073
and then
829
00:42:15,324 --> 00:42:17,076
you find someone who complements it,
830
00:42:17,701 --> 00:42:20,246
even if you have to look for a long time.
831
00:42:24,041 --> 00:42:26,669
- Hope you're not too old for auntie hugs.
- [chuckles] Never.
832
00:42:26,752 --> 00:42:28,563
- Because I'm coming in hot.
- I'm ready for it.
833
00:42:28,587 --> 00:42:29,964
[both laugh]
834
00:42:31,257 --> 00:42:32,257
Thank you.
835
00:42:32,967 --> 00:42:33,967
Thank you.
836
00:42:38,597 --> 00:42:40,933
- [sobs] I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
- [June] Why?
837
00:42:41,517 --> 00:42:44,645
There's no healing without honesty,
838
00:42:45,896 --> 00:42:48,524
and you were just being honest
about how you feel.
839
00:42:48,607 --> 00:42:50,734
When I was pointing at him to leave,
840
00:42:51,235 --> 00:42:53,445
all I could think of was my mama saying,
841
00:42:53,529 --> 00:42:56,282
"You point at someone,
three fingers point back at you."
842
00:42:56,782 --> 00:42:58,617
And then it just... it hit me.
843
00:42:58,701 --> 00:43:01,453
Forgiving Ronnie for his mistakes
844
00:43:01,537 --> 00:43:05,791
means forgiving myself
for the damage that I caused.
845
00:43:05,874 --> 00:43:11,088
And accepting that
you are worthy of forgiveness.
846
00:43:11,171 --> 00:43:12,548
- Am I?
- Yeah.
847
00:43:13,132 --> 00:43:14,925
That's the beauty of grace.
848
00:43:16,427 --> 00:43:21,807
We're forgiven even as we struggle
with the enormity of the gift.
849
00:43:22,474 --> 00:43:23,934
But I broke my vows.
850
00:43:24,893 --> 00:43:29,857
I stood before God and our family
and our friends, and I said,
851
00:43:29,940 --> 00:43:31,734
"I will support your dreams
852
00:43:31,817 --> 00:43:36,030
as passionately as I believe
in your ability to achieve them."
853
00:43:36,113 --> 00:43:38,657
And did you do that
to the best of your ability?
854
00:43:38,741 --> 00:43:40,159
I did not.
855
00:43:40,242 --> 00:43:41,242
Why not?
856
00:43:41,702 --> 00:43:44,121
I doubted and then blamed.
857
00:43:44,955 --> 00:43:48,751
And... [sniffles] ...all the mess-ups
and... [exhales] ...the resentments,
858
00:43:48,834 --> 00:43:50,836
they just piled so high
859
00:43:50,919 --> 00:43:53,964
that I couldn't even see him
behind all his flaws,
860
00:43:54,048 --> 00:43:55,924
and I completely ignored my own.
861
00:43:56,008 --> 00:43:58,594
Recognizing where you both went wrong
862
00:43:58,677 --> 00:44:01,513
is a crucial step
in getting you back on the right track.
863
00:44:01,597 --> 00:44:04,475
I mean, God knows, I still love him,
864
00:44:04,558 --> 00:44:07,728
and I... I want to trust him again,
865
00:44:07,811 --> 00:44:11,690
but I feel like
if I let go of all of this hurt
866
00:44:11,774 --> 00:44:15,277
and all of this anger... [sobs]
...like, I'll fall apart.
867
00:44:15,861 --> 00:44:18,280
Dana Sue, dear heart,
868
00:44:19,198 --> 00:44:24,119
until you've fallen apart,
we can't put you back together.
869
00:44:24,203 --> 00:44:25,287
[Dana Sue crying]
870
00:44:25,371 --> 00:44:26,955
Oh, I'm here.
871
00:44:27,623 --> 00:44:28,623
It's okay.
872
00:44:28,957 --> 00:44:30,334
- I'm here.
- [crying]
873
00:44:30,834 --> 00:44:31,710
I'm here.
874
00:44:31,794 --> 00:44:33,796
[melancholy music playing]
875
00:44:33,879 --> 00:44:35,631
[Dana Sue crying]
876
00:44:49,186 --> 00:44:52,439
I assume you're here
to deliver good news about the petition?
877
00:44:52,523 --> 00:44:53,523
I am.
878
00:44:55,192 --> 00:44:58,237
The clerk completed
the signature verification process
879
00:44:58,320 --> 00:45:00,155
and ratified the petition.
880
00:45:01,740 --> 00:45:04,451
The recall process has officially begun.
881
00:45:05,828 --> 00:45:07,121
[exhales] Well,
882
00:45:08,288 --> 00:45:11,750
then I am compelled
to call an emergency school board meeting...
883
00:45:13,877 --> 00:45:15,129
to discuss allegations
884
00:45:15,212 --> 00:45:18,924
that may require the termination
of Cal's contract with the high school.
885
00:45:20,050 --> 00:45:21,885
What are these allegations?
886
00:45:21,969 --> 00:45:25,222
It would be inappropriate of me
to speak outside of executive session.
887
00:45:25,305 --> 00:45:27,516
You know how gossip travels in Serenity.
888
00:45:28,100 --> 00:45:32,312
Besides, if you're sleeping with a man,
shouldn't you know his secrets?
889
00:45:32,396 --> 00:45:34,314
Or don't you learn from your mistakes?
890
00:45:35,691 --> 00:45:38,402
This is what I'm willing to do
for the man that I love.
891
00:45:39,278 --> 00:45:40,278
How about you?
892
00:45:41,071 --> 00:45:43,532
[pensive music playing]
893
00:45:44,867 --> 00:45:46,577
[Bill] I'm sorry I'm late.
894
00:45:46,660 --> 00:45:50,372
I'm still learning
to anticipate Castlewood traffic.
895
00:45:50,456 --> 00:45:52,166
- Mind if we walk?
- Not at all.
896
00:45:52,750 --> 00:45:56,628
I sure hope you haven't heard
all the good Miss Frances stories already.
897
00:45:56,712 --> 00:45:58,297
That's not why I called you.
898
00:45:58,797 --> 00:45:59,797
Oh.
899
00:46:00,132 --> 00:46:03,177
Well, look, I don't think it's appropriate
for me to comment on a recall.
900
00:46:03,260 --> 00:46:05,763
- Between me moving...
- You and I have a child.
901
00:46:07,973 --> 00:46:08,974
What did you say?
902
00:46:09,057 --> 00:46:10,184
You heard me.
903
00:46:14,271 --> 00:46:15,898
Oh, don't you walk away from me!
904
00:46:20,569 --> 00:46:21,569
Wha...
905
00:46:21,904 --> 00:46:24,406
Wha... what the hell, Peggy?
906
00:46:25,115 --> 00:46:27,451
Here? In Town Square?
907
00:46:27,534 --> 00:46:30,078
I'm sorry, would you rather
a bar at Sullivan's
908
00:46:30,162 --> 00:46:31,482
or a booth at Wharton's, perhaps?
909
00:46:31,538 --> 00:46:33,290
You know, if anyone asks,
910
00:46:33,373 --> 00:46:36,053
you are more than welcome to tell them
I wanted to hear a cute story
911
00:46:36,084 --> 00:46:39,129
about Miss Frances
that I am not going to listen to.
912
00:46:41,381 --> 00:46:43,884
The Model UN Conference in Raleigh?
913
00:46:44,760 --> 00:46:46,678
Beginning of junior year?
914
00:46:51,099 --> 00:46:52,768
Why didn't you tell me?
915
00:46:52,851 --> 00:46:55,521
Our mothers decided it was for the best.
916
00:46:56,271 --> 00:46:57,397
My mama?!
917
00:46:58,273 --> 00:47:00,150
Why didn't she tell me?
918
00:47:00,234 --> 00:47:02,986
That is a conversation
for you to have with yours.
919
00:47:03,737 --> 00:47:06,990
Mine told me they decided
enough lives have been ruined
920
00:47:07,074 --> 00:47:09,284
and that it was best you didn't know.
921
00:47:11,537 --> 00:47:15,040
Maybe yours should have told you
so you could learn from your mistakes.
922
00:47:15,123 --> 00:47:19,545
Oh, and that's why you're telling me now?
'Cause my life isn't fully upside down?
923
00:47:19,628 --> 00:47:21,171
Mmm. [scoffs]
924
00:47:22,339 --> 00:47:23,507
Peggy, wait!
925
00:47:23,590 --> 00:47:24,633
Peggy, please!
926
00:47:26,468 --> 00:47:28,554
I just wish you would have told me.
927
00:47:29,930 --> 00:47:32,850
I cannot express how sorry I am
928
00:47:32,933 --> 00:47:36,937
that it took me two decades
to learn how to say no to my mother.
929
00:47:39,022 --> 00:47:43,569
This will not change anything between us.
I don't want or need anything from you.
930
00:47:43,652 --> 00:47:47,072
The only thing I want from you
is something you can't give.
931
00:47:48,866 --> 00:47:51,493
Twenty-two years, Peggy.
932
00:47:51,577 --> 00:47:53,495
Imagine how I felt,
933
00:47:53,579 --> 00:47:56,081
knowing that he was out there somewhere,
934
00:47:56,164 --> 00:47:58,917
praying that he was loved and cherished.
935
00:47:59,001 --> 00:48:00,001
Was he?
936
00:48:01,670 --> 00:48:02,754
[exhales]
937
00:48:03,714 --> 00:48:04,965
Ask him yourself.
938
00:48:08,385 --> 00:48:10,387
[emotional music playing]
939
00:48:21,356 --> 00:48:22,441
[exhales]
940
00:48:23,734 --> 00:48:24,902
Dr. Townsend.
941
00:48:24,985 --> 00:48:25,985
Isaac.
942
00:48:30,866 --> 00:48:31,950
Thank you.
943
00:48:35,287 --> 00:48:37,456
Now I'm gonna ask you to leave.
944
00:48:39,291 --> 00:48:41,293
[emotional music continues]
945
00:48:44,963 --> 00:48:45,963
Never again.
946
00:48:57,643 --> 00:48:59,645
[closing theme music playing]
947
00:49:53,699 --> 00:49:55,617
[music fades]
