What are you drawing?
Is that a heart?
It's a butterfly.
What are you thinking about?
I know what kind of family doctor I want to be. I'm just...
not sure of the steps I need to take to get there.
Why don't you call Dr. Rabney?
Maybe she can point you in the right direction.
Actually, I did. She said I should stop by.
I wish I could get there today, but there's so much going on.
I've got things covered over at the Outpost.
You sure?
Look, I gotta talk to Ben when he comes in this morning anyway.
It's probably better that I talk to him alone.
And I can call your old divorce lawyer from there.
Yeah, we're good, go.
Well, yeah. Give her a call, see if she can fit me in.
Need to check on Syd too. See how she is.
- Maggie. - Yeah?
You and Liam really didn't talk all those years?
No, we didn't.
I had the marriage annulled right away.
I haven't heard a word from that man in years.
I know it's hard, him being here.
Let's make sure we're still taking time for each other.
How about we start tonight?
You have something in mind?

Frank, I prayed for this.
This is the sign I've been asking for.
And now they're coming home to us here?
Come on, let's get ready.
I need a ride to the Crossing. - F-for what?
I'm going back to work.
I think you should wait for a couple more days.
No. I'm not wasting another minute.
I can't wait to get back to the Outpost.
All right, thanks.
Hey, Ben. - Good morning.
I, uh, I hope you don't mind I brought Tracy today.
My mom got called into work a double.
Well, it's nice to see you again.
Uh, hey, Cal, can I work on my graphic novel?
Sure, of course.
It should be in here somewhere.
Uh, can I borrow your phone for some music?
Yeah, of course.
Make sure you use the headphones, okay?
Checking out.
I hope your visit ended up being okay.
Yeah.
Oh, hey, it's Ben, right?
Uh, I owe you an apology, kid.
Found my watch. - You did. That's great.
I-I shouldn't have accused you of taking it.
That was wrong, and I'm sorry.
I'm just glad that you found it.
That's all that matters.
Uh...
receipt? - No.
- All right. - Thank you.
Uh, Ben, do you have a sec?
Could you give me a hand in the back?
Yeah.
Um, everything okay?
Yeah, w-why do you ask?
I had no reason, I just...
I want you to know I'm someone you can talk to.
So, if there's anything bothering you...
Uh, I guess there is something I want to ask you.
Have you ever done something stupid and then just...
immediately regretted it.
Who hasn't?
Yesterday when I...
went to go drop off towels at Quincy's cabin.
I just saw the watch sitting there and-and
I-I don't know what got into me.
I mean, maybe it's 'cause it reminded me
of my dad's old watch, but I-I don't know.
I wasn't thinking and I just, I took it.
And I'm really sorry, Cal.
I appreciate the honesty.
Um, should I just get Tracy and leave?
I was thinking you could...
throw some price tags on these hats.
Wait, I'm not fired?
You're not fired.
Uh, thank you.
Uh, so we're good?
Yeah. We're good.
So how are you holding up?
I'm just trying to take life as it comes
and make the most of it.
You and me both.
We can't let our lives get sidelined
by things we can't control.
Did you, uh, end up apologizing to Liam?
Uh, I was going to.
Then... I saw him outside his cabin and, um...
he was shirtless and he had these marks on his back, like,
um, keloid scars.
Keloid?
Thick, raised scars.
I don't know how he got them,
but they were not there before.
Did you ask him about it?
I left before he saw me.
I feel bad that I shut him down in the car.
I mean, maybe he would've talked about it.
Maggie, it's okay to have boundaries.
I know.
You just, you can't let him waltz back into your life
and blow things up. - Yeah.
Rob.
- Yeah? - Hey.
Breakfast was delicious.
Awesome. Thanks.
Maggie, maybe you can talk some sense into my brother.
- Hey. - About?
Well, Finn got offered a scholarship
to this incredible Tech program in Toronto,
and Rob won't even consider it.
I have. I've thought about it a lot.
He's barely a teenager, he needs his dad,
I need to be here.
But don't you think he should embrace the opportunity?
All I can say is that
I didn't have the chance to grow up in this amazing place.
Finn's lucky he has that.
Yes.
Yes, thank you, Maggie.
Uh, speaking of opportunity,
so I need to get to my meeting with Dr. Rabney.
Yes, good luck. Keep me posted.
I will.
I still think you should consider it.
I already have.
- Hello? - Hey!
Edna!
It's so good to see you.
Welcome back.
Oh.
I sure miss this place.
Aren't you supposed to be resting?
I've rested enough.
This is the new hire I was telling you about.
Oh, uh, yeah, this is Ben and his sister, Tracy.
- Hi, I'm Edna. - Hi.
Nice to meet you.
I don't work here, but I could if you're still hiring.
I'll keep that in mind.
And thank you, Ben, for helping out.
I was starting to worry how things were going without me.
Edna's the one who keeps things
running smoothly around here.
Well, uh, welcome back.
I, uh...
I guess you won't be needing my help anymore?
Don't be silly.
Part of running a business is knowing how to delegate.
Frank, go work on that land application.
And Ben, head out to the woodshed
and make sure it's stacked.
And you, talented artist,
you should keep working on your artwork.
I want to know how you're really doing.
Great. Why?
Really?
Well, I heard that Maggie's still married to Liam.
And there's no way that he's not getting under your skin.
He wasn't.
Until yesterday.
Okay, what changed?
Turns out that he's been holding on to this photo
of them from... their wedding.
Hmm.
Yeah.
Well, I wouldn't worry about that.
Just get Maggie that divorce,
and you stay focused on your life with her, okay?
Yeah.
I appreciate the advice, Edna.
- Hm... - I missed you.
I missed you, too.

Liam.
I hope you're not planning
on going swimming with those stitches.
Yeah, well...
I already thought of that, actually.
Waterproof. See?
I'm surprised you're talking to me.
Yeah. Um...
I was harsh yesterday.
I'm-I'm sorry.
I shouldn't have snapped at you like that.
It's okay.
I'm the one who should apologize, okay?
I probably could have just called
to get those annulment papers.
Showing up like I did was a bad idea.
I appreciate that.
I couldn't help but notice that
pretty nasty scar you've got on your back.
Looks worse than it is.
I remember how you used to do that.
Do what?
You make light of something to avoid a serious conversation.
Is that what I'm doing?
What happened?
I appreciate your concern.
But you don't have to worry about me.
Like you said, let's just get this divorce figured out.
Then you never have to see me again.

You mind switching to the table?
I'm gonna need that space, my girl.
Thank you.
Oh, you're back!
You look amazing. Did you get a haircut?
Finally, someone noticed!
Oh.
A little brain surgery's not gonna
hold this shashiipitamik down.
You look very healthy,
but I hope you are still pacing yourself.
Mm-hmm.
I see you've met Tracy?
Yeah. She's so sweet.
Oh, and Frank's here too. He's in the back,
filling out the application for the land conservation.
Oh, great. I'm glad he's running with that.
Oh.
Oh no, I broke it.
Cal, gave me that.
Okay, talk to me.
Things with Cal and I were...
finally going well until Liam showed up.
You and Cal are gonna be fine.
This butterfly represents you and your resilience.
And that... unbreakable.
It's good to have you back.
I'll get this fixed. It's fine.
Uh, I do need to head out, though.
Can you let Cal know I have a meeting at the hospital?
I will.
Thanks.
- Good luck! - Thank you.
Frank!
What do you need?
I need you to go on a reconnaissance mission for me.
Doing what?
I need you to spend time with this Liam guy.
Find out why he's really here.
Okay.
You do know you'll have to do another residency.
What sort of residency, exactly?
For a change of scope, it can be condensed.
Maybe 12 weeks?
That's fine. Really, whatever it takes.
It's not about convincing me.
It's about convincing the Board of Physicians.
Right.
And, of course, you'll have to find someone to supervise you.
Any thoughts on who I should approach?
The most straightforward would be through
one of the teaching hospitals in Halifax.
It's just, it's a bit far...
With Sully out of the country,
I need to keep an eye on the Crossing.
Well, then you'd have to find
a local doctor willing to work with you.
Any suggestions?
There aren't many clinics in this area, as you know,
and the ones that are here are overly busy, so...
it might be a challenge to find someone to supervise you.
I think I might know the perfect place.
Thank you for your time.
- Can I ask you a question? - Sure.
How can you trust me?
Are you saying I shouldn't?
No, but...
I mean, isn't it hard after what I did?
Everyone deserves a second chance.
I just don't want Tracy to find out, okay?
Well, I'm not gonna tell her.
She needs a good role model right now, and...
I'm trying.
I can see that. Catch.
Oh, sit anywhere you'd like. I'll be right with ya.
Lobster rolls with chips.
Can I get you anything else? Okay, enjoy.
Can I start you off with something to drink?
Just water for now.
Sure.
Excuse me, is this the whole menu?
Yeah, uh, the chef usually does a special for dinner.
I'd actually like to speak to your chef about his menu.
I have some thoughts.
Sure, I'll go get him.
Um, hey.
Mm-hmm?
Uh, the guy at table seven
wants to speak to you about the menu.
Okay.
Oh, my God.
Look who it is! You gotta be kidding.
Amir Malik.
How you doing? - Good to see you, brother.
Yes. Good to see you, too.
Now, I hear you're over here complaining about my menu.
What? I thought you could use the feedback.
Ah, come on. Come on.
Hey, Sydney. Come here a sec.
There's someone I want you to meet.
This is my sister, Sydney. Syd.
- Hi. - Meet Amir.
First chef I worked with at a culinary school.
He taught me how to not burn risotto. Thank you.
I heard Susie over here had opened up his own place.
Had to come check it out. - Mmh, Susie?
Ah, kitchen nickname.
As in sous chef. - Yeah.
Okay, uh, nice to meet you.
Oh, what's with all the pub food on here, bro?
Did I teach you nothing?
You have a problem with my menu already?
Well, it could use a little help.
Hey, I'm Frank. I work at the Outpost.
I brought you a muffin.
Oh, uh, thanks.
I just came by to see how your leg's doing.
Yeah, much better.
I'm glad to hear it.
Anything I can help you with?
I'd like you to show me where you stepped in the trap
so I can look around and see if there aren't any others.
Oh, yeah.
Lead the way. - All right. Okay.
There you go.
Hi.
Um, has the doctor returned from vacation?
He's with a patient.
I'm sure he's probably busy,
but if there's any way I could have a few minutes
to talk with him regarding a possible internship?
- Let me check. - Thank you.
There's someone here to see you.
- Maggie! - Quincy.
You're Dr. Carlson.
Have a seat.
I don't know how I missed that you were a doctor.
Yeah, I kind of kept that part to myself.
I needed a few days away from all this.
But I didn't know you were a doctor either.
Well, I'm hoping to get my license to practice in Canada.
And then, eventually, open a general practice.
Where were you trained?
Boston Commonwealth.
Family practice?
I was a neurosurgeon.
Oh, wow. I was never cut out for surgery.
Why is that?
Not enough of a cowboy.
I wouldn't say that I'm a cowboy.
You know, in my experience,
surgeons like to be heroes.
I know that general practice will be different than surgery.
I want the change.
I'm ready for it.
I've never been more sure of anything than I am about this.
Okay. What do you need from me?
Well, I need a doctor to supervise me
while I get experience.
And then we need to present a training plan
to the Board of Physicians.
I see. And why my clinic?
I was here yesterday.
And it was busy, you were away.
It's got a good feeling here.
I think that you could use an extra set of hands.
Dr. Carlson,
your next patient is waiting. - I'll be right there.
Okay, why don't you go outside, talk to Grace,
see if you could find a good time to come back tomorrow
for a few hours and shadow me?
Uh, you'll get to see what I'm like as a teacher
and I'll see how you handle being a student.
- I would love that. - All right.
- Thank you. - We'll see how it goes.
Okay.
Your ankle bothering you?
Uh, yeah, just a little.
Wanna rest?
Thanks.
So, I hear you're a war correspondent.
- That's right, yeah. - Sounds like a difficult job.
Can be.
So do you have any plans after you're done here?
Another assignment.
Around here?
Uh, no. Europe.
Why?
Mmh. Just curious.
Something you're trying to ask me?
No. No.
You know, Frank, I can kind of tell when people are...
perhaps digging around for something.
Is that maybe why you invited me out here?
Sorry.
My wife, Edna, wanted me to come out here
and get a little more information on you.
Why?
Maggie's in a good place,
and she doesn't want anything or anyone to change that.
I know what you all must think,
with me showing up here like this, but believe me,
the last thing that I want is to hurt Maggie again.
I'm glad to hear that.
Do you play backgammon? - Yeah.
Why?
Good, 'cause I love the game.
Thought you might want to play sometime.
Yeah. That'd be great.
That doesn't mean I'm going to take it easy on you.
Hey, fair enough.
Want to carry on?
- Yeah. - All right.
Okay, so tomorrow he has patients
between noon and three o'clock,
but it's not too busy, so that might be a good window.
Perfect.
- Here you go. - Thank you.
- You're welcome. - I like your tattoo.
Oh, thanks.
I got it at a little place down the street.
Uh, have a good day.
You too.
I don't know. Could be a little sweeter.
Needs more of a crunch. - Mmh.
Yeah, yeah. Maybe you're right.
Hey, Syd.
Hey.
Who's that new guy?
Oh, he's Rob's old mentor.
He just showed up out of nowhere.
Cal, hey. Come meet my old friend, Amir.
He's a Michelin star chef from New York.
- Hey, nice to meet you. - Likewise.
Yeah, Amir was just giving me some feedback on the menu.
- Mmh. - Hey, can I get you something?
Uh, yeah, actually, I was planning a picnic for Maggie.
I just haven't had any time to throw a basket together.
I was kind of hoping you'd give me a hand.
Oh, yeah, sure, no problem.
Couple sandwiches? - You kidding me?
What?
Nothing says romance like sandwiches, Rob.
You got a better idea?
Yeah. You want it to be special, right?
Why don't I make you a charcuterie board?
A little brie, some salami,
maybe some prosciutto, and olives?
Some fruit, maybe.
That will impress her.
I'm not going to say no.
It's settled then. Leave it with me
and I'll whip something up for you.
- Appreciate that. - My pleasure.
Nice. It's nice to meet you.
- Later, Cal. - See you.
I'll go see if you have
anything good to work with back there.
You're gonna let him take over your kitchen?
Hey, he's just trying to help.
- Well, hmm, if you say so. - Yeah.
Oh, I better go see if he needs a hand.
- Hey. - Hey!
Trace why don't you come give me a hand
with some weed whacking?
She's been great company,
but I'm sure she wants to get outside.
Not really, I draw all the time.
She does.
She does, but she also needs some exercise, so come on.
Bye.
- Hey, bud. - Hey.
- Uh, can I get some coffee? - Sure.
I need to get some beans in the back.
I'm planning a moonlight picnic for Maggie.
Frank says the Northern Lights will be visible tonight.
- Really? - Yeah.
That's incredible.
Oh, Maggie's gonna love that.
Yep?
Good afternoon, Mr. Jones.
Good afternoon.
You sound happy. You got good news?
Sort of.
Yeah, I found a doctor who might be interested
in supervising my residency.
Oh, yeah?
Mm-hmm. And you are not gonna believe who it is.
Who is it?
I will tell you when I'm home.
All right. What time you think that's gonna be?
Soon. I'm just, um, I'm working on something.
I'm looking forward to it.
Yeah, I'll, uh, I'll be home in about an hour.
Bye.
How's the weed whacking going?
Uh, the battery died.
Ben's hand was cramping.
And Tracy was almost no help at all.
Good job.
It's getting late, so why don't you call it a day?
Sure, I'll, uh, I'll go put it back in the shed.
- All right, see you tomorrow. - Awesome.
Um, actually, I, uh...
I wanna say thank you.
Yeah, I really like working here. It's cool.
- We like having you. - Thanks.
Come on, Trace.
You know, I've always loved the outdoors.
The feeling of being connected
to something bigger than yourself?
The freedom?
Exactly.
Oh. Looks like we're not alone.
- Frank Cranebear. - Well, look who it is.
Didn't expect to see you here.
Liam, this is Danny Madore.
He's an old friend of mine,
and Liam's staying up at the Crossing with us.
Nice to meet you.
Yeah, likewise.
Well, Frank, if you're alright here,
maybe I'll, uh, head back to my cabin.
Sure. How about I come by your place
and we'll play that game of backgammon tomorrow?
Sounds like a plan.
I thought you were out West.
Yeah, well, I kind of missed the East Coast and, uh,
figured it was my time to come home, you know?
Been too long.
I was just out, uh, picking some sweet grass
for a talking circle over on the Rez.
You know...
I remember coming here
when I was a kid with my pop to do some fishing.
People had a lot more respect for the land back then.
Mmh.
Hear they're going to turn it into some condos.
Not anymore.
The owner gave us the land
to turn it into a conservation area.
Oh, that's great news.
Yeah, except there are all the hoops that I've got
to jump through.
Yeah, you gotta love the bureaucracy, right?
I'll let the Elders know. They'll be pleased.
Nah.
It's for you.
It's good to see you again.
You too, Danny.
Mwêstas.
Hello?
Maggie?
Wow.
- Hi. - Hi.
From the looks of it, things went well.
- They did. - Mmh.
Looks like I might be working with our friend Quincy.
- Quincy? - Uh-huh.
He's the doctor?
Dr. Quincy Carlson runs the clinic at Mahone Bay.
What are the chances? I know.
So, I feel like celebrating.
I'm excited for our date.
Me too.
- Sorry. - Uh...
You all right?
Mm-hmm. Just...
All right.
Oh.
So this is what you were working on?
Yeah.
Today was an important day.
I wanted to commemorate it.
With a butterfly tattoo?
Mm-hmm.
Never thought of you as a tattoo person, you know?
You don't like it?
I do.
But I just... I didn't expect it.
I don't know, just...
trying to be a little spontaneous.
You know, keep things exciting.
You are exciting.
With or without a tattoo.
Would you like to take a closer look?
- Mm-hmm. - Mm-hmm?
- Hey. - Hey.
See? I'm taking a little break,
'cause I know how to take care of myself.
So, any intel...
about Liam?
He's a nice guy. I like him.
That's it?
What kind of spy are you?
An amateur one.
But he's a professional journalist.
He might be good at keeping secrets.
Okay, Sherlock.
I had a really good walk on the land.
There was a lot of older growth
and it's gonna make a really nice conservation area
when it's cleaned up a bit.
You'll have to take me out with you next time.
You need to take it easy.
I need to keep living.
I will rest when I'm dead.
I ran into that fella, Danny Madore.
Remember him? - Danny?
He was out...
picking sweet grass.
He was happy that the condo plan fell through.
Of course, he was.
Will you help me tidy up?
We don't want to miss the Northern Lights.
Sure.
Just in time. Here you go.
Romance in a box. - Yes.
I gotta admit,
that is a heck of a lot more romantic than a sandwich.
Wow.
You went all out.
Oh, Maggie's gonna love this.
Thank you. I owe you.
I'm gonna go clean up the kitchen before I head out.
Yeah.
What's up with that guy?
Well, he's one of the youngest chefs
ever to be awarded a Michelin star, so...
Yeah, well,
maybe he should go back to his Michelin star restaurant.
He left that restaurant.
He's here because he's looking for work and a fresh start.
I'm thinking about asking him
to take over the kitchen for a few days
so I can go get Finn in Toronto.
Are you serious?
Let me guess, you don't like him.
He's arrogant.
Hey, Finn is going to be so disappointed
that I won't let him take the scholarship.
I figured I'll take him to Wonderland,
you know, ride a few roller coasters,
have some fun before we come home.
Yeah, just...
isn't there anyone else?
No, I trust him.
Look,
I don't want to be in a power struggle
with some cocky jerk who thinks he knows better.
You're the general manager.
It's your choice.
Can I sleep on it?
Yeah, sure. He'll be here for a few days, so no problem.

And they...
sent the original filing for the annulment as well.
