[GULLS SQUAWKING]

Oh, this is torture.

I know. I mean, just tell us something.

[♪♪♪]

He was swerving all over. I had to turn.

Wasn't my fault.

I know.

I'm sorry I wrecked your car.

The tree wrecked the car.

[SCOFFS]

Score one for seat belts, huh?

Yeah, we got lucky.

Maybe it wasn't luck.

Maybe Mom was looking over me.

She would never let that happen again.

Hi. You okay?

All in one piece.

Wow.

That's enough excitement till the end of the summer.

Totally.

I have to stay here the night though.

Just to rule out a concussion. Oh.

Was anyone gonna tell us she was alive?

Oh, I'm sorry.

What are you guys doing here?

Basically freaking out.

But look at you. Not a scratch.

Disappointed?

Yeah, after what you just put us through,

get your arm in a sling.

[ALL LAUGHING]

Hey, Dad, do you think you can go home

and get some stuff for me?

Hospital gowns are a major downer.

Mm, sure. What do you need?

P.J.s, toothbrush.

Okay.

Ow! Kidding. [GIGGLES]

[LAUGHS]

Thanks for coming.

You'll be back on the beach tomorrow.

Bye.

JACK: I'll be back.

I really had you guys going there.

Yeah, well, I saw your car being towed,

so we drove right over here.

Together?

So you guys are talking again.

Yeah. Picturing you all...

bloody and mangled... [LAUGHS]

made us come to our senses.

Glad I could help.

Well, that a took a number of years off of my life.

Yeah, mine too.

[♪♪♪]

MADDIE: Nell called me.

She's doing fine.

Jack.

You must have been shaken up.

Yeah.

Drunk driver.

Things happen sometimes that you can't control.

Things you don't even know about.

Could I see my niece?

She's in room two.

Come.

Um...

Yeah.

Thanks for the car.

You're welcome. Just go--

Go easy on-- On the clutch, okay?

It's just a little-- Just go easy.

Want me to be careful?

[SNICKERS]

All right. I gotta go find some pajamas.

Yeah.

Jack...

How long are you gonna punish Maddie for?

She swears she wasn't drinking.

I don't believe her.

And what if it didn't happen how you think?

You know, someone put flowers on Emma's grave.

Her favorite kind.

I called to find out who did it.

Evan Gallagher.

From the church where she was volunteering.

Emma's gone.

And you're never gonna get the whole truth.

You gotta move forward.

[DOGS BARKING]

[♪♪♪]

[SIGHS]

I've gotta go get her stuff.

Yeah.

[CAR STARTS]

Look!

[GIGGLING]

Isn't it beautiful?

One night in the hospital,

she's got that great-to-be-alive feeling. Huh.

Hey, it makes you appreciate things.

What things do I have to appreciate?

That crap with Cooper?

Or how about the fact

that my dad's sentencing is coming up?

Yeah, thanks to Mommy Dearest.

I can barely look at her now.

You'll work things out with her.

You're lucky you can.

Did I just totally

put a damper on things, or what?

[ALL LAUGH]

Yeah, complete buzzkill.

Yeah, thanks a lot.

[CHUCKLING]

CLARE: Ahh! Hey!

[SCREAMS, LAUGHS]

AIDA: These horrid forms...

designed to...

dissuade anybody from filing an application.

Let's just get it done.

"Why should your home achieve landmark status?"

Well, obvious.

It's old. It's beautiful.

Has a rich, colorful history.

Like you.

[CHUCKLES]

And Thomas Jefferson slept here--

Well, before he was president.

So...

What's wrong?

Hm? Nothing.

Whenever something's troubling you, you--

You twitch about.

I'm not twitching about. You just twitched about.

I didn't. Yes, you did.

You just twitched about.

I saw it.

No. What is it, darling?

Tell me.

[SCOFFS] What is it? Come on.

Something happened with Jack.

No. Nothing happened with Jack.

Nothing...

Well, he kissed me.

He kissed you. How was it?

Um, that's not the point.

It's entirely the point.

No, it's more complicated than that.

That's because you made it

so the two of you circle around each other,

both of you afraid to say what your feelings are.

Just-- Just fill in the form.

Bottle up your emotions, at some point, you'll explode.

Fill in the form.

You just twitched. I did--

Twice.

[WHIRRING]

It's for Nell, to replace the one that got totaled.

Oh. Come on, it's cute.

I'm not sure that I want her

to think of a car as a toy at this point.

Right. How's she doing?

Well, she's over it already.

I wish you had called me.

I would have. There just wasn't any time.

It must have been awful to deal with alone.

Well, I wasn't alone. I had...

Nell's friends and...

Anyone else?

Look... I--

I don't wanna know.

I'm just concerned about you and Nell, and--

And I miss you.

Hey.

I just have some things I gotta get straight.

And I don't think I can do it if I'm...

seeing someone.

Then what are you doing at Hubbard's Point?

You can't sort things out there. It's just pulling you down.

Why don't you come back to the city,

and maybe we could--

No.

[QUIETLY] Okay.

Uh...

Maybe you should take the job in L.A.

Save us all the misery.

[♪♪♪]

[SIGHS]

We should probably get up at some point.

What for?

We can't just lie here all day.

Sure we can.

I've done it... many times.

Fine. You want us to move? We'll move.

Funny.

[SNICKERS]

[PEOPLE CHATTERING]

You guys, that kid out there,

I think he's in trouble.

CLARE: What?

[COUGHING, GASPING]

Where's your brother?

I don't know. NELL: Find him.

[♪♪♪]

MAN: Give her a hand.

Excuse me.

I need to see Reverend Gallagher.

I'm afraid he's not in at the moment.

Well, maybe you can help me.

Billy!

A kid, he's drowning.

Call 911.

MAN: Let him through.

[COUGHS]

Look out, guys.

MAN: Did somebody call an ambulance?

[GRUNTS]

Give me a towel, somebody.

[♪♪♪]

I know about the reverend's influence on my wife.

He inspired her philanthropy.

He persuaded her to spend a great deal of our money

without my permission.

He put flowers on her grave.

Well, the reverend's devoted to all his--

Why are you protecting him?

He's the moral center of this church.

I wanna know what that man meant to my wife.

Let your wife rest, Mr. Kilvert.

It's over.

Let it all rest.

Be careful next time. Don't go out so far.

And never swim alone, okay?

SKYE: Nell, that was amazing.

Yeah, very Baywatch of you.

Seriously, you just saved that kid's life.

BILLY: You almost cost him his life.

And yours too.

[SCOFFS] What are you talking about?

BILLY: Taking a chance like that.

Swimming right into a riptide?

What are you thinking?

What was she supposed to do, watch him drown?

She's supposed to let me do my job.

You weren't there.

I would've gotten there in time.

Billy, Nell just saved that kid.

She got lucky.

Don't ever do anything stupid like that again.

Let me guess, I won the sweepstakes?

Can we talk?

After 10-and-a-half months, now you want to.

What brings you here?

A lot of people come to a library.

It's just that it's not exactly a hot spot in the summer.

You know, because it's air-conditioned.

[SCOFFS]

Lame.

Very.

[CHUCKLES]

I've-- I've got a thousand of them, so...

[SCOFFS]

You can read better with those off.

Fluorescent light hurts my eyes.

Nobody comes in here, Skye.

[♪♪♪]

[SCOFFS] Nobody comes in?

You mind?

Do you?

It's okay.

Just let me know if you need anything.

I know.

You called it off.

You didn't know that there was a second camera.

But so what?

You still planned it in the beginning.

Before I got to know you.

Then what?

Realized that I'm not some piece of meat.

Oh, I'm sorry, Cooper. Did I embarrass you?

Skye...

I feel terrible.

If there was anything I could do to take it back, I would.

You can't.

The most private, personal experience

of my life...

and it's out there for the world to see.

So thank you, Cooper.

My time with you has been awesome.

[SIGHS]

[BREATHES DEEPLY]

It's a fantastic book. My highest recommendation.

She's Come Undone.

Ha. I like the title.

It's about this incredible girl

who doesn't always believe in herself.

But no matter what life throws at her,

she always finds her way through.

If it's any consolation,

he looks as broken up as you do.

[SCOFFS]

Thanks.

[CLEARS THROAT]

I can't believe how hot it's been.

I don't ever remember it-- Maddie--

I need you to tell me what happened.

I don't know.

I'm not sure about this.

I packed all wrong for that weekend.

We had so much luggage between the two of us,

we could hardly close the trunk.

I mean, who needs two pairs of high heels

for antiquing, right?

That weekend was so much fun.

We had such a great time.

But then, on the drive home...

[LAUGHTER]

I'm in love, Maddie. I'm really in love.

I haven't felt this alive in years.

What are you talking about?

I'm in love with someone else.

Evan Gallagher.

I didn't know what to think.

And then it got even worse.

I wanna travel the world, be with him.

[STUTTERING]

Just leave Jack?

It was like she was looking for my approval.

EMMA: I can't pretend anymore.

What about Nell?

She doesn't need me like she used to.

You have to help me, Maddie.

You have to help me tell Jack.

Help you? You stop this selfish crap.

Dump him, or I'll see to it, Emma,

that you never see your daughter again.

I shouldn't have threatened her like that.

But then she grabbed the wheel, and the car swerved.

You know the rest.

Why didn't you tell me?

I needed you to remember...

Emma...

the right way.

And you never gave me the chance.

I'm so sorry.

[BREATHES DEEPLY]

BILLY: Let's go, guys.

You got a lot to cover.

Get a move on, Nell.

You, more than anyone, cannot afford to miss this.

What a jerk.

Waiting on you.

You okay?

Later.

Definitely.

So far...we've covered surveillance and rescue skills,

first aid...

CPR

and spinal injury management.

Think you know it all? Well, you don't.

Knowing the basics does not make you a lifeguard.

The ocean is powerful, relentless and unpredictable.

If you get cocky and dash out on a whim--

That boy was drowning.

I went out there and brought him back to shore.

I brought the boy to shore.

If it weren't for me,

you and that kid would've drowned.

That is not true.

You were exhausted.

You're just a rookie.

You don't have the stamina or the conditioning.

I totally do.

Prove it.

Swim out 100 yards. Tread 10, swim back.

No problem.

Nell, you don't need to prove yourself to him.

He thinks I can't do it.

So what?

You know you can. So do I.

WOMAN: Toby Gresch.

You remember Toby Gresch?

That creep from second grade?

Yeah, he made your life miserable,

put gum in your hair, teased you.

Thanks, Mom, for that wonderful memory.

And your teacher, Miss Pitzler, she was totally useless.

I had to call his folks.

Do you remember what happened?

He stopped bothering me?

Mm-hm.

But then when you found out I called his folks,

you were furious.

And you said, "I can take care of myself, Mom."

And you stomped off, didn't talk to me for days.

You froze me out, Clare,

and all I was trying to do was make sure you didn't get hurt.

[SCOFFS]

Well, the difference, Mom,

is that Toby Gresch was hurting me.

But I wanted to be with Marty.

It was my choice.

And he hurt you.

Yeah, I screwed up... okay?

And I'll probably screw up again.

But those are my screwups.

You can't protect me anymore.

I'm not in second grade.

I'm your mother, Clare.

I-I'm never gonna stop trying to protect you.

Come home.

I already found a place.

Well, you can't stay at Stevie Moore's forever.

[SIGHS]

I rented a room on the west end.

Oh.

Okay.

But...

[SIGHS]

...I'll be around, I guess.

[♪♪♪]

[SEAGULLS SQUAWKING]

Nice movie.

[CLEARS THROAT]

Come on. Let's go.

[BOYS CHUCKLING]

Skye. Wait up.

Look around.

Every jerk is wondering

what party trick you're gonna make me do next.

It'll die off.

You're making it worse right now.

Just...leave me alone.

Just dump his class. He's on some power trip.

Ha. And give him the satisfaction?

Why do you care so much about what he thinks?

He's the instructor. Right.

Look, I'm certified, almost.

I'm not gonna give up now, okay?

BILLY: Don't be late tomorrow.

Or what? What are you gonna do?

You gonna blow your little whistle at her?

Stop messing with her.

Jeremy--

No. You cannot treat her like this.

It's my class. I'll treat her any way I want to.

Stop! Stop!

Stop it, you guys! Stop it!

Knock it off! Knock it off!

Nobody should be throwing punches here.

Oh, yeah? What's this about?

It's personal.

It's none of your business.

It's over now.

What are you, uh, mixing it up over a girl?

What are you, cavemen? You gonna draw pistols at noon?

This is not the way to handle it.

Don't tell me how to handle anything

after the way you handled my sister.

You're lucky you still have your badge.

Why don't you say that again.

I said, you're lucky to still have your badge.

How about I go check out your car

and see what kind of goodies I can find?

That's enough. It's all right, Nell.

Can't do anything.

You guys are all acting like morons.

I didn't start it. Yeah, you did.

You can't handle the fact that I saved that boy,

because that means I saved your ass.

Who are you kidding?

You were supposed to be watching the water.

Instead, you're giving me a hard time,

trying to make me feel like I did something wrong?

I don't think so.

Not anymore.

JEREMY: Nell, hold up.

Nell, don't be pissed.

I couldn't let him take advantage of you like that.

I don't need you to protect me.

Look, I really care about you, okay? A lot.

Jeremy...

I don't know how I feel anymore.

About what? About me or about him?

About anyone.

[SIGHS]

Sounds like two animals marking their territory.

[SNICKERS]

I hate being their territory.

[LAUGHS]

Have you ever been caught between two guys?

Oh, honey, this is one area

where I shouldn't dispense advice.

But I can't go to my father.

And I don't have...

[♪♪♪]

Oh, Nell.

God.

You've been through so much this year.

I promise you...

there is lots of love in store.

So many wonderful experiences ahead.

But I think for now, you gotta choose.

Huh?

You gotta do some-- Some soul-searching, and--

And then deal with people fairly and honestly.

And that'll help you not fear the breakup,

if that's what you wanna do.

Aw. It'll be fine.

It's gonna be fine.

Hey.

What's up?

Nothing.

Right.

Uh, you heard, huh?

It's pretty low, Coop.

Yeah, she won't even talk to me.

Well, it's not really the sort of thing

you can take back, you know?

I can't believe I'd even think about doing something like that.

Broke through to you, huh?

I know the feeling.

Jasmine?

Over.

Nell?

[CHUCKLES] Yeah.

Just blew it with her.

[INHALES DEEPLY]

I know.

I guess we should forget about them.

Lot of other pretty girls around here.

Not like her.

So do you have any tips on groveling?

[BOTH CHUCKLE]

[GROANS]

No.

Nell?

NELL: Upstairs.

Hey.

Hi.

How was your day?

Oh, peachy.

Yeah? Me too.

You first.

I don't know.

Everything just sort of caved in on me.

I guess, mostly, I just really miss Mom.

Do you?

I miss how she was when we were happy together.

I talked to Maddie today.

I was wrong to blame her for the accident.

You two okay now?

Yeah.

Thank you so much, Daddy.

When I miss your mother...

I don't have to look very far.

She left the best part of herself right here.

[♪♪♪]

[LAUGHS]

That looks great.

Really crush the garlic with lots of salt.

Mm. Mm. Good.

[GIGGLES]

Mwah.

Yeah.

All right, let's have a look-see.

Your cooking skills have improved dramatically.

I was never a bad cook.

You should make crunchy pancakes for desert, Dad.

Hey, you be quiet.

Is Chris coming?

Um...he has to work late tonight.

You should invite Stevie.

Okay. It's not like we're gonna be able

to finish all this food anyway.

No.

JACK: Yeah, it's just the three of us,

sitting around, having some food.

And it would be great if you came by.

[♪♪♪]

Yeah, it was Nell's idea,

and I know Maddie would love to see you.

I'd like to, Jack, um...

but I-- I already have plans.

Okay. Well...

maybe next time.

Yeah.

Bye.

[PHONE BEEPS]

Nell will be a great babysitter.

Oh, yeah?

Just don't let her overcharge you.

[LAUGHS]

God, Chris must be over the moon.

I haven't told him yet.

What?

[SIGHS]

Chris doesn't know that I'm pregnant.

He left me, Jack.

I don't blame him.

I was drinking a lot

before I knew about the baby.

I was -- I was so wrapped up in myself

and consumed with the accident that...

the way that you shut me off, I shut him off.

Do you want him back?

Of course.

Then what are you gonna do about it?

Well, I went to AA.

I've stopped drinking.

But I've been there before.

And now, with so much at stake...

I'm just so scared that I'm gonna drink again.

[SIGHS]

It must have been about eight weeks after the funeral

before I could even see straight.

And probably another...

six after that

before I figured out I better start

putting one foot in front of the other.

You got your whole life ahead of you.

You just gotta take it slow.

Genius at work?

Hardly.

Look, crazy thought.

For two people who have such an amazing...

attraction in private...

why don't we spend 24 hours together?

Play hooky, see what happens.

Hooky?

Why not?

I just started this new painting.

I could stay and be in it.

Um, you're not in--

In the picture.

[♪♪♪]

I'm sorry.

[SIGHS]

[PEOPLE CHATTERING]

Look, you were right.

I should have been watching the water.

Whatever.

I told you you got lucky.

I got lucky.

You were there.

You had the guts to swim out to that kid,

and the chops to reach him.

You saved that kid, Nell.

You did.

Why was that so hard to admit?

[SNIFFS]

Kid's life was at stake.

Yours too.

And I was responsible.

So you decide to take it out on me?

[SIGHS]

I know. I'm a jerk.

You know, not usually.

[SCOFFS]

I just feel I need to take care of things now,

you know, especially since...

Especially since my dad took off.

And...

[SIGHS]

...now when things don't go right,

and it's on my watch, I just--

I go a little nuts.

And I'm-- I'm really sorry.

It's okay.

We all have a right to, uh, go a little nuts once in a while.

[NELL CHUCKLES]

Ever skimboard?

Nope.

Wanna try?

Shouldn't you be watching?

I don't go until noon.

Cool. Show me.

I'd like to talk to Nell.

You'll never see her.

Never. [GROANS]

I had no idea it could go that deep.

How's that feel?

It feels good.

You know what?

Now's not a great time.

Obviously.

I'll see you around.

Oops.

You know, I don't understand you.

You've got him on a leash.

You're pussyfooting around with me.

You're upset. What's going on with you?

Yes, I'm upset.

Uh, it's not like we're dating, Jack.

Listen, I'm up here trying to deal with my family.

Well, I think you're using them as an excuse.

To do what?

You're always using other people as a buffer zone.

Anything that allows you

to just coast through life without--

Yeah? Why don't you take a look at your own life?
