Previously,
on Chesapeake Shores...

The measure
of a man's success

is who he has
to truly share it with.

Hi, Trace!
Wish you were here!

My family
excels at seeming,

but we're never even close
to being okay.

I've applied
to every department

within a hundred miles of here,

but so far, nothing close by.

By consolidating
my eight scripts into seven,

I now only have
to eliminate six more.

Actually,
Terri is Ms. Marvel.

What?

I love her,
and I hope you like her too,

because I'm gonna ask her
to marry me.

Read it again!

Okay, "Behind the rock,
there is a sock,

and inside a clock,
to beat the lock."

Come on, let's go!

So how long can you
keep doing this?

Doing what?

Making homemade
ice cream,

going to pottery
classes,

and planning
all-day scavenger hunts

before you go
to work at night?

I'm just trying
to spend quality time

with my daughters.

Abby, it's not
a competition.

You know, Ms. Marvel
is just Wes's girlfriend.

She's not you.

Well, do you know
that last week,

she made Carrie and Caitlyn
an Italian dinner,

complete with
red checkered table cloths

and an Italian menu,

and she even taught them
a few words in Italian.

Oh.

I'm just...

trying to be
the best mom I can be.

And what if you can't?

What are you saying?

I'm saying what if
you can't be perfect,

because no one is.

All you're going to do
is burn yourself out.

Oh, really,
said the pot to the kettle.

Your next show is where?

Raleigh, North Carolina.

Mm-hm, and how much longer
are you gonna do that?

Come spend days with us
and go to shows at night?

We found the sock!

11:15 and 20 seconds!

Okay, so what does it say?

"Get to the bottom
of the problem.

A slippery slope
will bring you hope."

It's the slide!

Abby, you and me?

We'll make it work.
We always do.

-Mm, I hope so.
-Argh.

Hello?

What do you mean
the check bounced?

How is that
possible?

Thanks again for
meeting me here, Bert.

Yeah, anything
for the Rileys.

My firm called
your accountants

to start running
the numbers.

How bad
did we get hit?

♪ The miles are
getting longer it seems ♪

♪ The closer I get to you ♪

♪ So I'm going home ♪

♪ To the place where I belong ♪

♪ And where your love
has always been ♪

♪ Enough for me ♪

♪ I'm not running from ♪

♪ No, I think you got me
all wrong ♪

♪ I don't regret this life
I chose for me ♪

♪ I said these places and
these faces are getting old ♪

♪ So I'm going home ♪

♪ I'm going home ♪

Connor?

Oh, hey, Gran.

What are you doing?

Just another day
of saving the world.

No, I mean,

what are you doing here,
eating breakfast?

Oh, I got no time
to shop for groceries,

I've no time to do
anything but work.

Hmm, welcome to the
real world, grownup.

And you pretty lady,

what time did you
get in last night?

Oh, you mean this morning?

Yeah, morning
for me too,

although
now I'm an expert

on every flora, fauna,

fungi, fish, and fowl
in Chesapeake.

So, is your case finally
going to trial?

Not yet. The developer just
brought in outside counsel,

so today we meet
their new hired guns.

What's your excuse?

Hmm? Oh, I just need
more time in the day,

and in the night,
or somewhere in between.

Why are you here?

I thought you had
to go to Miami.

I had to cancel.
Something came up.

Oh, Kevin, are you
going to tell me

that you don't have
any groceries at home either?

Oh, no, actually,

I just left one of
my study guides

upstairs in the room
before I left.

But I will grab
some coffee.

I feel like I never
stopped studying.

Any more
job offers?

Yeah, three, Seattle,
Portland, and Waikiki,

but still nothing close.

Oh, take Waikiki.

Doesn't anybody
make breakfast

at their own
home anymore?

Mmm, yours is better.

Ah.

And with Simon
traveling to UCLA

for a symposium,

I'm taking a break
from phrasal verbs

and adverbial clauses

to try to sell
other people's words.

Just be thankful
it's not widgeon grass,

eelgrass...

water stargrass--

And hydrilla

and wild celery.

There are five underwater
grasses in the bay.

Well, you're
so smart.

Why do you
know that, Dad?

Tell your daughter
she needs more sleep.

Abby, get
some more sleep.

And Connor,
you too.

Mom,
we do not need more sleep.

Speak for yourself.

All right, I'm out of here.

Uh, thank you, Gran.

Goodbye.
See you, Mom.

What I need

is to go wake up
Carrie and Caitlyn

and go to the park.

Do you want to come?

Uh, I can't.
I'm meeting Kate Pragnell,

but I'll help you wake them up.

Mm-hmm.

Hey, watch your back
with that Kate.

You know,

she is the beloved
mayor's assistant.

Um, before he left,

Simon and I finished
editing my manuscript.

Oh, that's wonderful, Bree.

Good for you.

And, um...

I'd like you to read it.

I think the time is right.

I don't know that the time
is ever right for anything.

It's us people

that make it so.

Well, we could always
do a tasting menus,

or a set menu dinner,

or if we get that bid
to cater the regatta--

We could start
a catering business.

Or we could do
theme weekends.

We could do
murder mystery.

It'd be Colonel Mustard

with that pipe
in the lavatory.

Conservatory,

I think you mean
conservatory.

Well, we don't have
a conservatory.

Or we could do
a Medieval Weekend.

You could be my knight
in shining armor.

I thought
I already was?

Yes, you are.

I think this is really
gonna bring people in

during the off season.

You know, you're
really very good at this.

I am, aren't I?

You ever think about
Peck Enterprises?

Oh, I heard the person
who was running it left.

To pursue
his true love.

Really?

Cooking.

Hello!

David.

Jess.

Alexandra.

What are you
doing here?

Um...

I brought s'mores.

Oh.

She brought s'mores.

It's nice to see you.

Well, that's just it.

I mean, Greg Lanier's
online books

were all in order.

But...

But it appears

he falsified vendor invoices,

paying out far more
than we ever received.

So he pocketed the difference?

He might have,

or maybe the business
just got away from him,

and he started
funneling money

from one place
to the next

to pay bills.

How much is left?

We took
a huge hit, Mick.

Mick?

Yeah.

You're not
saying anything.

I'm just thinking
about my options.

You mean our options.

I mean, we're still
partners, remember?

I stayed a silent partner

because you were running
the club.

And I still am.

I'll take care of this.

Trace, when it comes
to my investments,

I don't lose money silently.

Mom?

What are "The Grapes
of Wrath" about?

Uh...

angry fruit.

Mom...

You know what, you're gonna find
out soon enough,

because we will buy that book
for you in seven years

when you read it in high school.

Seven years?

It's gonna come
sooner than you think,

and when it does,
we will come here,

and we will buy that book.

Hello!

Hi, you guys!

Thank you so much
for watching the ship.

Yeah, sure.

Carrie and Caitlyn
did all the work.

Hey, Abbs...
can I say something?

Sure.

You look really tired.

Tired?

Tired...

No, I'm...

I'm having
a great summer,

and you know what,
Carrie and Caitlyn

they are having a blast,

because you know
what Terri had them do

two weeks ago?

She had all of the girls
decorate their own headboards

over at Wes's.

That's awesome.

And totally
not a big deal.

I mean,
who doesn't have

personalized
headboards, right?

Right, right.

Headboards,
and Italian dinners,

and, oh, oh,

you know what
she also had them do?

She took them
on a private tour

of the National Zoo,

so that was...
that was really great.

Hey, you're a great mom.

Well, Wes and Terri's house
is Disneyland.

Mom?

Yes!

So, today, we...

are going to go
on a backwards picnic!

We are going to have
cupcakes before salad,

and we are going to
dry ourselves off

before we get in the ocean--

Abbs, Abbs, Abbs...

you're trying too hard.

No, because
this is what you do

when your life
is going backwards.

It's good, come on, let's go.
Let's go backwards.

Don't walk into anything.

Beep! Beep!
Bye, bye, bye!

Goodbye!

Bye!

So, with the proceeds
from the Art Walk

and the Sandcastle
Festival,

it means that our reserves
are now 30% higher

than what was originally
allocated by the city.

Megan, I can't tell you

how impressed
Mayor Devine and I are

with what
you've been doing.

Thank you.

So I'm thinking that
some of that money

should be diverted
to elementary schools.

I've got some ideas that--

Which is why it pains me
to let you know that...

Well, we'll be accepting
your resignation this Friday.

My what?

We really appreciate
all the hard work you've done,

and we're going to miss
having you around.

I'm being fired?

Not fired, no,
you're going to resign.

The Arts council

is being folded
into another department,

so there's no need for your job.

But the Arts are so important.

They're crucial
to how we express--

--Ourselves,

understand the world,

our pain.

Uh-huh, yeah.

Which is why we're going
to be giving it to Robby Monk,

head of
Parks and Rec.

Monk?

Monk argued for an hour
at city hall

that schools should consider
french fries as vegetables.

Technically, they are.

You know, there's no way

we're stopping
Hampstead Industries

from building on the bay,

not with sign-offs
from all these agencies.

So why did you agree to help?

Mostly because our firm
takes cases based on merit,

and saving
Chesapeake Bay

is pretty much
top of the list.

Well, that's mostly.
What's partially?

Well, considering
all the Chinese takeout

we consumed prepping the case,

I think I kind of
like the irony

that we've eaten more
sweet and sour shrimp

than we're ever
going to save.

I've also learned
there's a benefit

to burying a company
in paperwork.

Honestly, I was
pleasantly surprised

to hear that Hampstead
had to bring on Pinero & Wade

at $500 an hour

just to handle the overload.

If we can't win,
make them suffer?

Sort of a family motto.

So, we've reviewed
the material,

and we sympathize
with your plight,

but your suit
has no merit.

Danielle?

Ow.

Connor?

Danielle.

You missed a great
game of mini-golf

this afternoon
with the girls.

Yeah?

I'm way too competitive.

After the board games?

I don't think my ego
can take another loss.

Well, it's probably
good, then,

because I think
Carrie and Caitlyn

got seven hole-in-ones?

I'm thinking of putting
them on the pro tour.

There's professional
mini-golf?

Mm-hm.

But the trophies
are very tiny.

So I'm going through
these invoices,

matching them up with
the sales and back stock,

and there's
a huge discrepancy,

which is probably why
I've been bouncing checks

for the past three weeks.

Right, and Greg just took off

before you could figure it out.

You know,
I opened the Bridge

so that people would have
a place to come

and leave their cares
at the door,

hear some great music.

But by going out
on tour,

I might have just
shut that door.

Okay, O'Brien,
you've stabilized him,

what's next?

Is he taking
any medication?

Baytril.

Which is what?

It's a chlorothiazide.

Have they recently
adjusted his dosage?

Yes.

Yeah, low pressure
can cause syncope.

He's going to need
to be worked on.

Nicely done, O'Brien.

I'll let
the ambulance know.

He's going
to be okay.

Thank you.

Has anyone ever told you
you should be a paramedic?

Yeah, you,

and, well, everyone else.

And you're
a very good firefighter.

Chesapeake Shores is
very lucky to have you.

Yeah, about that...

I mean, if you're not
going to be near here

for work,

I was thinking...

What would you say if
I took a job in Philadelphia?

What?

Yeah, I've been applying
for the last three years

for a position

at the Philadelphia
Fire Department

so that I can be
closer to my family,

and they just accepted me.

So, I'm confused,

should I increase
our holdings

in Castellano Imports?

Yeah, by 10%,

but make sure you use

our existing preferred
stock options to do it.

Hedging them
with the other Class "B"s.

Bingo.

You're so good at this.

So are you.

Yeah, well, you
picked it up a lot faster.

Your marshmallow's
on fire.

Oh!

It's okay.

It's a good thing
I brought... s'more.

Maybe Peck Enterprises
should invest in s'mores.

What do you
think, David?

That's up to you now.

Uh, Alexandra,

how long
are you in town?

Um, just for
a few days.

And Mom and Dad were
okay with you coming?

Actually,
they didn't want me to,

uh, but I
needed to talk.

I thought the job
would be easier...

being you would be easier.

I need help.

David...

can you help me get
some more marshmallows

from the kitchen--

I mean, graham crackers.

I, uh, I can't
reach them.

One sec, guys.

You should come
by the bookstore.

Oh, I'd love to.

Okay, so perhaps
I'm still

mildly insecure
with your family,

but I think Alexandra
is up to something.

Why?

She just seems
really overwhelmed.

I know, but
what if she isn't,

and your parents
are just using her

to lure you back home,

and this whole
"overwhelmed thing"

is just bait?

Jess, I trust
my sister.

Okay,

but if she's here
for that dress,

we got problems.

Okay, your day
smoked mine.

I mean,
I'd have to run

into a lot
of ex-girlfriends

to beat saving a life.

It was no big deal.

Kev, you've got
to stop saying that.

Every time somebody
saves a life,

it is a big deal.

Okay.

So, how was it
running into Danielle?

It was also a pretty big deal.

She looked good.

Yeah?

Is she still
dating her ex-boyfriend?

Is she seeing
anyone else?

Well, I know
this might sound crazy,

but a room full of attorneys

kind of puts a damper
on the discovery process.

Yeah, well, sometimes
the discovery process

is a little over-rated.

Sarah told me today

that she might be transferring

to the Philadelphia
Fire Department.

Aw, that's a tough one.

Yeah, what's really tough

is I can't exactly
tell her not to go,

'cause I don't know
where I'm going to be.

What are you going to do?

I don't know.

What's up, guys?

-Hey.
-Hey, Trace.

Are you
bussing tables?

Yeah, we're, uh,

having some
scheduling problems.

Gotta do whatcha
gotta do, right?

Well, you know,

I tended bar
in law school.

If you need somebody

to run bar back
for an hour, I could help.

Nah, we're doing all right.

You obviously need some help,
and I'm offering.

I won't even charge you
my current hourly.

Well, that's... that's
real generous of you.

Okay, cool. Thanks.

No problem.

So, uh, Abby mentioned

you saved someone's life
this morning, Kev.

Nice going.

Wow, word
really travels fast

around the O'Brien house.

Honestly, it's no big deal.

Yeah, she said
you'd say that, too.

Can I at least
buy you a drink?

Nah, I should
probably head back.

I've got some studying to do,

some stuff to figure out.

Sarah.

She might be moving.

Philly.

Sorry to hear it.

That's tough.

Yeah, I just don't know

how the whole long distance
thing is gonna work out.

You and Abby,

you guys
make it work, right?

We're, uh...

still figuring it out.

Maybe I will take that drink.

I figured as much.

Wasn't Robby Monk the man

who was blaming
last year's early snowfall

on the Battle of Waterloo?

Yup.

And the same one
who thought Salvador Dali

is the Dalai Lama's brother.

The only reason
this man even has a job

is to keep the people away

from the beloved
Mayor Frank Devine.

Which is why
I can't understand

why the mayor
is putting him in charge of...

He can't be going after me
to get to you, can he?

I believe he might be.

I just think

you're being
too hard on yourself.

You know what
you're doing.

It's not that,
it's just...

I spent so many years
resenting you

for everything you had,

everything
you didn't want,

and now I'm coming
to you for help.

I didn't know that.

But... I'm your brother.

I know,

but me being here means
Mom and Dad are right,

you are better at this.

Alex, you've only been
running the company

for two weeks.

Just give it time.

And this...

This all looks amazing.

Seriously, wow.

Oh, I know...

Seriously,
Mom and Dad

should be
encouraging you

and helping you to
figure all this out,

'cause, you know,

that's what Dad did for me.

It's almost as if

they're setting me up to fail.

Maybe they are.

Maybe.

I just wish the family
would sit down and talk.

If it makes you
feel any better,

we don't do that either.

Our family stays together

because of all the things
left unsaid.

So let's
not do that.

Alex, let me help you.

I'd like that.

Yeah, you'd better
push the Miami deal.

Uh-huh.

I'm stuck here
another week.

Okay, good,
thanks.

-Hey, Mick?
-Hey.

So I spent last night
on the phone with our vendors.

They're all going to float us
another two months.

How bad is it?

We're in a pretty big hole.

It's gonna take six months
to make it back.

In the meantime,

the police are
looking for Lanier...

And this should cover
what he took,

plus interest.

Greg was my hire,
it was on my watch,

I'll make it right.

I can't
take that, Trace.

I'm not taking that.

Look, when we went
into business together,

I put up the money,

and you put up the expertise,

which made sense.

That was the deal,

and I was okay
with you leaving,

as long as you kept up
your end of the bargain...

Mick, it's all good.

I'm handling it.

You are,
because you have integrity

which is why I went
into business with you

in the first place.

Great, well,

I'm interviewing
managers this afternoon,

and we're in the process

of setting up a new
accounting system--

That's not
what I'm saying.

What I'm saying is,

you can't promise me
it won't happen again,

because you may not be here
to see that it doesn't.

Look, when I go into
business with somebody,

it's face to face.

That's not what's been
going on here.

You've been running this place
in absentia.

I lost more money

canceling meetings
in New York

then I'm ever gonna
get back here,

no matter how long
this place stays open.

So if we're
keeping the club,

and I do wanna keep it,

from now on,

we do it my way.

That's not what we agreed to.

I think you should take
another look at the contract.

That's exactly
what we agreed to.

After going over
the most recent proposal,

I'm still bumping on

the repetitive aspects
of the deal.

Yes, no, I'm sorry
for the late notes,

but I'm going to need
a clean copy by tomorrow.

Yes. Okay,
thank you, yeah.

Abby.

I was just coming to see you.

How's the Remington deal going?

Uh, it's...
not quite ready,

but I will have it done
later today.

If you're falling behind,
we can always...

No, it's fine.

I'm... I'm fine.

It's just not like you
to push deadlines.

Well, I'm working
on it now, so...

If something's going on,
and you want to talk about it,

we can do that--

Uh, no, I'm-I'm...
I'm good, thanks.

Sorry, uh...
Hi, honey?

Uh-huh?

Yeah, no, no, no,
it's okay.

What's going on?

Well, what's wrong?

Thank you.

I can't believe

people actually read
either of the "Caroline" books.

Oh, I know, me neither.

I mean, especially

since "The Red Palace"
was so good.

Hold up, you read Simon
Atwater's first book?

Twice.

And then I DM'd him,

and gushed about
what a huge fan I was.

He never responded.

Well, I, uh...

I think he might be
a little busy these days.

Wait, you know
Simon Atwater?

You could say that.

No...

You and Simon,
you're not...

Well, I mean, we are
kind of on round two.

Round one was...

It didn't end very well.

Okay, I am beyond
jealous right now.

Not just about Simon,

but this...

All of this.

You know what?

You know what,
the grass is always greener.

I know, I'm just...

I'm so overwhelmed right now.

I've always been
envious of David,

not just for what he's done,

but for being able to walk away.

I mean, I want
to run the company,

I do.

It's just a lot tougher
than I thought,

and especially
with my parents

looking over my shoulder
all the time.

Hmm, sometimes it's easier
being invisible, isn't it?

Sometimes.

Which is why

it was so nice
having you around.

Both of you.

It was like having sisters.

Yeah.

Kate...

I think we got off
on the wrong foot.

No, I think
it went perfectly.

Was there anything

you didn't understand
when we last met?

Well, I understood
the resignation part,

I just don't understand
the motivation.

Well, Robby Monk
is a very impressive,

long-time--

Cut it, Kate.

Nell O'Brien,
what a--

...Pleasure it is
to see me, isn't it?

How long

have your mother and I
known each other?

It is going on

35 years...

35 years.

Nell, you can't guilt me,

and you can't tempt me
with muffins.

Then at least
let us know

why you're choosing
Robby Monk.

Robby has been working
for the city for 20 years.

Kate,

Robby confuses pop art
with Pop Tarts.

He is not qualified.

Megan, this has
nothing to do with you.

No, it has to do

with me,

doesn't it?

Tell the truth.

I thought you were
doing wills and trusts.

There was an opening
in environmental,

so I took it.

And what about you?

This isn't
an O'Brien Foundation case.

We were contacted
by Erica's firm,

and my uncle wanted me
to, I don't know,

create a little havoc?

Well, that's all you can do.

I mean, Hampstead
has every right to build.

Everyone from the Chesapeake Bay
Environmental Agency

to the Maryland Department
of the Environment

is behind us.

You just don't
have a case.

This doesn't sound like you.

Oh, because this is the me

that's gunning
for a partnership,

and thanks to you,

I'm racking up
hundreds of hours.

Yeah, me too,

and on top of that,

spending time with my dad

restoring his sailboat
on the bay.

Really?

You and your dad?

I know, right?

Never say "never."

I guess so.

See ya.

I'm guessing
she broke up with you.

What? No.

Okay, how could you tell?

Because she looks like
she regrets it.

Oh.

Well, I think she's
gonna regret this more.

She mentioned

only state and local agencies
had signed off.

She didn't mention anything
about the feds.

Maybe it was an oversight.

Maybe it was a smokescreen.

She didn't
mention the feds

because maybe
they didn't sign off.

So you weren't
just catching up?

No.

Never when I'm working.

And what cards
did you show her?

Nothing.

Talked about my dad and a boat.

...which takes care
of the roses,

leading us
to the daisy family.

Okay, there's shasta,
gloriosa, marguerite...

Okay, wait,
what about this one?

Gerbera.

I'm shocked that you know
so much about daisies.

You can thank my dad.

Your dad?

Mm-hm.

Really? Fire captain,
ex-Navy SEAL, florist?

For the last
40 years,

every Monday,

my dad would bring home
flowers to my mom,

so he's kind of
an expert.

No pressure.

Oh, no, none at all.

I'd love it if you brought me
flowers every Monday.

Well, maybe
we can take turns.

Look, Sarah,
I don't know what to do.

Me neither.

Excuse me?

Are you the man who helped
save my husband's life?

Yes, right.
How is he?

You were right.

It was his medication,
not his heart.

Right, it was
the chlorothiazide.

Yeah.

So, they
adjusted his dose?

Yes, they did.

Thank you.

Oh--

Can't leave
without a Gerber.

And an expert on flowers, too?

You should
hang on to this one.

But I don't
understand.

You're gonna be back
in two months.

I know.

Well, why wouldn't he

just hire someone
temporarily?

Your guess is
as good as mine.

Do you want me
to talk to him for you?

No. No, no, no,
it's okay.

Honestly,
I'm not surprised.

I've been around
your father

long enough to know

that the turn
was coming.

Hm.

There have always
been two Micks.

The one who's all
about family, and...

And the one
who's all business?

Yeah, that sounds
familiar.

Apparently, the apple doesn't
fall far from the tree.

Hey... do you remember

when we were in high school,

and I made that list

of all the things that I was
gonna be when I grew up?

And I was gonna be

the President
of the United States,

and a billionaire,
and a scientist...

Oh, I-I remember.

It was quite
a list.

Very,
very ambitious.

Yeah...

Well, after 15 years,

I've come to terms
with the fact that

I've taken most
of those things

off of the list,

and I'm fine
with that, but...

I just always thought
that I would be good at

at least one or two of them.

Are you serious?

Abby, you're great
at your job

and you're
a great mother,

and I love you.

Thank you.

I love you.

Come on.

Two whiskey rocks.

You look like
you could use some coffee.

Hope that doesn't have
anything to do with me?

No, no, it's this
huge environmental case.

We're coming down
to the final hour.

One coffee,
coming right up.

Thanks,
I'll take it to go.

You got it.

So, I took a look
at your contract.

It's pretty clear you agreed
to be onsite manager.

And what, that's it?

There's nothing I can do?

Listen, Trace,
just so you know,

I'm not gonna go
against my dad again.

I mean, we're...

we're good right now.

But...

it's never nothing.

Contracts are always
open to interpretation.

Hmm.

Coffee's on the house.

See you later.

Okay, so
first s'mores,

and now this.

I'm going to gain
ten pounds

in three days.

Oh, no, no, no,
in Chesapeake Shores,

calories don't count.

Mm, I might
have to move here.

Oh, yeah, you could
be
an honorary O'Brien
sister.

We share ice cream
and problems.

That's sweet,
but I think

I've overshared
enough already.

Well, then I'll go.

I... messed up
at work today.

No, you didn't.

Mm, I did.

I missed a deadline,

which I have never
done before.

Okay, well,
missing deadlines

doesn't mean
messing up.

Yes, it does,
actually.

Just...

I'm trying to be
great at my job,

and a great mom,

and I'm not doing
either one well.

Okay, but you're Abby.

Your 50% is off the charts
for a normal human.

Thank you, but...

this time telling me
how great I am

I don't think is gonna
make me feel any better.

I don't think
John Steinbeck will either.

No, no, no.

Here, open it.

When you said to Caitlyn

that you were going
to buy this book for her

in seven years,

she wrote a note,

and asked me
to keep it for her.

Really?

I think you should
read it right now.

Aw...

Okay.

"Dear Mom,

when you get this,
I'll be in high school,

and if I'm too big
to tell you then,

I just want to tell you...

that I will always love you
forever and forever.

Love, Caitlyn."

I think you're
doing just fine.

Come in here.

If you'd like,

I could talk to our mayor.

I have a feeling
that won't go well.

Oh, that's the idea.

Do you think
it would help?

I don't know,

but at the very least,

it would be quite
entertaining.

I'm not gonna resign.

I don't think
you should.

If they want me out,

they're gonna have to
figure out a way to fire me.

Maybe you could have
a heart-to-heart talk

with that Robby Monk.

We'd be one heart short.

Oh, Megan, this town
is lucky to have you.

And so are we.

Nell?

Sometimes in life,

you hear things
that are difficult,

and you know it's going
to be hard to move on,

but you have to.

What are we talking about?

Bree's book.

You should read it.

Jess around?

No, she's off with
Bree and my sister,

doing something.

Nobody's answering
their phones.

Hey, you know anything
about wood siding?

Uh, a little bit,

usually when it's on fire,
though.

Well, then
you know more than I do.

Hey, I heard about
that guy you helped save

at Sally's,

and that it was no big deal.

Yeah.

You like working here?

I mean, you could be
running a huge company,

living in a mansion.

You gave that all up
for Jess, huh?

Well, yeah, uh,
Jess was a big part of it,

but I left

because I didn't want
to be doing that

for the rest of
my life, you know?

Yeah.

So, what about you?

You decided
where you're going to go?

Not yet.

See, that's kind of
the problem, is...

Sarah's going to Philly.

And if I want to stay
with her, then...

You can't be a paramedic?

Yeah, that's rough.

I don't know what I would do
if I couldn't be a cook.

Yeah.

Oh, speaking of which,
my tourtière is ready.

You hungry?

Always.

You know,
I actually, uh,

I do a little bit
of cooking myself.

Yeah, I heard about

your mac and cheese
and meatballs.

Yeah?
You want the recipe?

No.

-Hey.
-Hi.

Just like
old times, huh?

First one up
gets Dad to themselves.

Oh, that's why you did it?

Mm-hm.

Well, with five siblings,

it was a way to pretend
I was an only child.

I notice
you're putting

less milk in your
coffee these days.

Well, that's because
I need more caffeine.

Hey, I thought you missed
your New York trip?

I did.

I've got to fly up to Boston
for some job interviews.

I'm hiring a new employee.

Contractor, accountant...?

Um, waffles.

Long story.

You know, it never
gets easier.

After all
these years,

nothing makes
me happier

than giving someone
an opportunity,

and nothing feels worse

than having to let somebody go.

Really?

What?

No, you've just
never said that before.

I always thought that it was
just business for you.

No, no.

No...

You let go of an employee,

it's like you're
taking away a part of them.

For most of us,
it's part of our identity.

How's Trace
doing?

He's fine. Why?

Just be there for him, okay?

So, I've included
all my private notes

on our American
and European holdings,

and if there's a dispute
at our Harkness Labs,

you want to get Hayley
or Shelby's support.

If you get them, you get
the rest of the board.

And for DeBoer Technologies,
I'm guessing Charlotte?

Exactly.

Alex, you're doing great,

and if you need me,
I'm here.

Just call, or even
come back and visit.

Really?

Yeah, of course.

We're family.

And if, um, if Mom and Dad
want to come visit...

It might be a while,
but maybe one day.

I hope I didn't mess
things up too bad.

Oh, Jess, you didn't
break anything

that wasn't already broken.

And I really do love
your... auberge.

We do too.

Thank you.

Bye.

So, when you see Dad...

I have to get back
to the office.

I will not resign.

Wait? What?

No.

I refuse.

Why?

Because you're wrong.

Because the mayor
is wrong, Kate.

Because Robby is not
capable of doing this job.

Because... I love art...

And I dislike bullies.

And one more thing.

Oh, there's more?

Yes, I'm guessing

that you didn't fire me
because you can't,

and asking me to resign
was just your way around it.

That's not exactly the case.

So if I don't leave,

you and Robby will just
have to enjoy a little art

in your life.

Who knows, Kate,

maybe you'll come
to appreciate it.

So you can tell
our beloved mayor

that the wish fountain
is not going anywhere,

and neither am I.

You'll find certification
from the State of Maryland

and four other local agencies

which accept the developmental
restrictions.

I'd like my second chair

to respond to that,
Ms. Clayman.

You found it.

You can break the good news.

Ms. Clayman,

while state and local agencies

may have signed off
on the development,

the land is actually
part of the Atlantic Flyway,

and essential ground

for nine migratory
species of bird,

including the bald eagle,

all of which fall
under federal jurisdiction.

And since federal law
supersedes state and local,

instead of us
trying to stop you,

you should be trying
to stop us.

Or more specifically,

the U.S. Fish
and Wildlife Service,

who will be filing
suit against you.

Next week.

Right,

next week.

All right, so we'll run

the remaining quarterlies
tomorrow.

Thank you for
your report, Abby.

Let's meet up again
in an hour.

Is everything
back to normal?

Uh... yes,
as much as can be.

Great.

Because you have
a new client.

She requested you personally.

Oh?

Her name is Terri Ingram,

but you might know her
as Ms. Marvel.

We're still
working the numbers,

but this is a rough estimate
of the daily losses,

but this shows
a rough breakdown.

Can you tell me
how far back this goes?

That's the part that--

Mick?

Who are they?

Well, they're
going over the books.

I've hired a firm
that specializes

in restaurant accounting
and management.

Trace, this is Chris.

Chris, this is
Trace Riley, my partner.

Pleasure to meet
you, Trace.

From my understanding,

you're the one who
loves country music.

Can I talk to you
for a second?

Sure.

Look, I know you have
the right to do this,

and I know you think
you're doing

what's best for the club,

but I'm only going to be gone
for another two months.

Can you promise me that?

All right,
enjoy "Huck Finn."

It's one of my favorites.

Hi, Gran.

Good morning, Bree.

I have come to see

the grandchild who has
a lovely way with words.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

That feels like
half a response.

Well, that's because

I know the reason
that you gave me

the manuscript to read first,

but I can't give you
my blessings on it,

not before you show it
to your mother.

Oh... really?

I was kind of hoping
I wouldn't have to do that.

Well, darling,

sometimes we have to
conquer our fears,

not just for our sake,

but for the sake
of your family.

Hmm.

Okay.

Mm-hmm.

You'll give it to her, then?

Well, I could,

but I think that
this is something

that you need
to do yourself.

Okay.
