on back there Okay, well, I'll leave you to it

Cheryl be right there

You're not gonna believe what's back here.

Why what is it?

It's one of those old laundry shoots.

You know this place used to be a house.

Yeah I wonder who this belongs to

I don't know it's been in there a while

I Gonna have to hold this shoot stalsa to lodge two by

four studs to support the city

Ellen Streeter is that a ring about I can't

place it

Huh 1934

a Peace dollar that could be worse than money really

Eclectic wins as a kid

No woman just leaves her purse behind without a good reason

I'm gonna try to find out what happened to Ellen Streeter

I My love I feel like I've been living in the dark all these years It

was you that gave me hope that there was light beyond this darkness I have

little money that I've saved through the years With God's help it will be

enough to start a new life

Even if that is without you

I want you to know that I love you.

I Pray you're reading this and I was not murdered

murder Either way, you'll know that I loved you to the end

Love Ellen

What happened to you Ellen Streeter

Hey, good to see you and then does not think anything is good Why

what's wrong? She is worried about Lydia She went to visit her family in Columbus.

She did not go to visit.

She went to stay do not know that Isn't that the point of room spring up

to try out a different life?

You never know she might come back I pray you're right.

Well, I know something that will take your mind off Lydia

Does the name Ellen Streeter mean anything to you it looks like she lived right here

No, I knew the barns who lived here before you ought mitzvah and uncle Ralph bought

the place and converted into the store Chuck and I found her things in an old

laundry shoot in the wall.

Looks like it was covered over a long time ago This license is 40 years old

and I found a note in her purse.

It said I hope you're reading this letter and I wasn't murdered Do

you think she was murdered?

I have no idea, but I plan to find out

I'm gonna take those boxes down to the basement.

I will have Levi come by you don't need to do that

Hey chief I Wanted to let you know that I happened upon

a lost purse

I Feel this out and someone comes asking for it.

I'll call you I think they lost it 40 years ago

I'm sure whoever was looking for it has stopped by now.

I Think it belongs to Ellen Streeter her driver's license is still in the wallet and

what is it you want from me?

Could you see if there are any police reports about her?

She used to live in the Swiss mist back when it was still a house Don't

tell me you're afraid she died

I What

is it? There is a death report at that address But

it's not Ellen.

It's a bill Streeter Probably was a husband Said he

died falling on the stairs

It was ruled an accident

Feel like there's more to your story Ellen

Hey, yeah, I just dropped off some supplies Hey, by the way Talked

to a coin expert a guy knew back in the day.

He said that coin is worth 10 grand easy $10,000 now

I really need to find Ellen Streeter You know some people would just put that money

in their pocket and that's another word.

Oh Hi

Levi Chuck thanks Chuck

I Said you needed some help.

I hope it's not too much trouble not at all It's just these boxes that need

to go down to the basement.

Okay But while we're down there, maybe you could look around a

bit for what I don't know a faux wall or somewhere You could hide a body.

I've never mentioned anything about a body because it probably isn't one I'm sure

there isn't one.

It's just that Ellen Streeter the woman.

I'm looking for I thought that someone was trying to kill her I want to know

if her body was still there when they covered up those walls

Watch your head you can just put them right there

Thanks The

false walls down here

It's all rock

Do you think someone could be buried in there?

No, the foundation is all original to the house

You weren't afraid were you no, maybe a little

There's one more box upstairs Yeah

Hey a customer was telling me about this really nice gentle horse that's available

for adoption at the Cummings farm if you need one My wishes are all still pretty

young, but keep it you're out if I hear anyone looking for one Do you believe

somebody is just giving a horse away?

I'm just trying to find a nice home.

Yeah Wish I had a place think at Mitzi would let me keep a horse in

the house Probably not

-on-one East Main Street Bill Streeter

Amos Streeter must be his brother Amos

This must be

Hello, hi, I'm looking for Amos Streeter.

I have some things that belong to his sister-in-law wait here

Amos What do you want?

I'm Cheryl. I run the Swiss miss.

I found some belongings of Ellen Streeter's over there

Thank you

Please I

Found Ellen's things behind an old wall in a laundry shoot.

I Wanted to ask you about this coin her father gave her that before he passed

away Well, I understand it has some real value Which is why I wanted

to find Ellen if she's still What are you talking about?

Well, I also found a note in the wallet and it suggested that

Ellen might have been in some real danger

She called me after Bill died said she was sorry, but that's

the last I heard and you haven't talked to her since

Why would I?

You know, that's the problem with this town.

There's too many people sticking their nose in other people's business

The only reason I came back here is to take care of my sister

Well if anything comes to mind you know

where to find

I Scared me.

Oh, I've had practice.

Oh You look great.

Oh, thanks right back at you.

I guess sugar Creek agrees with you.

I guess so What are you doing here?

I'm here for your birthday Surprise.

Why didn't mom and dad say anything?

Because they don't know oh

Boy happy birthday to me.

It'll be fine.

I'm here to show them that I've landed on my feet.

I always knew you would So can I crash with you at at Mince's?

Yeah, of course.

I need to check my email.

Offices right through there.

Don't mess up my desk.

Yeah, like I'm 12 I'm way more than 12

I Matt I

told you not to touch my stuff.

No, you said don't mess up my desk

Okay, geez hey this letter What's up with this seems a little

suspicious? I found it hidden in this old laundry shoot inside the wall

Huh so if she was murdered do you get to keep the

coin Matt? What I'm just saying it seems like it could be worth something it is

but please don't mention this to mom and dad I don't think they would approve of

any of this.

No way. You are the golden child not anymore That was before I came to sugar

Creek now. I've joined you in the ranks of misguided children

Speaking of misguided you promised me lunch, right lunch first then

I should probably drop you off at Amitziz mom and dad are meeting me here at

How's everything going back at home?

Everything is good.

And we do have a new mystery.

Oh Do tell well, I'm having a wall safe installed in the office.

So that's smart and Inside the wall we found an old laundry shoot.

I'm not surprised.

You know, it was a house when your uncle and I bought it Yes, but there's

more inside the old laundry shoot I found the belongings of a woman named Ellen

Streeter Ellen Streeter I'm hoping to find her and return her things.

They must have lived there 40 years ago Apparently her husband Bill fell

down the stairs and died.

Oh my Excitement does seem to follow you And I

have a surprise guest for the weekend Just over here

Hey, Mitzi has New Guinea treating you

Look at you all grown up Gotta be honest.

It's a little weird being here without you.

Oh I have so many good memories of you and Cheryl visiting in the summers.

Yeah, those are some good times Yeah, I wish I were there

This suitcase

No, no, no, no, no gosh

Chuck did you lock up when you left last night?

Of course. I mean I think so Could anyone have come in here while you were

working? I guess so I was making some noise and I had my headphones on What

time was that round 11?

Someone took Ellen Streeter's things

What about the coin coins gone to did see a truck drive real slow past the

shop by ten or so I Didn't think anything of it.

I'm sorry. I Come with coffee

Chuck this is my brother Matt Chuck's doing some work for me.

Hey, hi

Here we go.

Yeah, I brought some to mom and dad too.

I wouldn't call it a warm welcome But you know dad tried he

put on his best pastor face

What's wrong Ellen Streeter's things are gone.

Oh Really the mystery thickens Hmm.

Hey Matt, you give me a favor.

Sure. Could you take my bag and put it on my truck?

It's the red one there on the side.

Yeah, of course.

You just throw in the back.

Sure See I am useful

The red one yeah, cool

You see that black truck that's

the one I saw last night

Oh the farm is much bigger than I expected look at the little goat

Oh shoot

Hey Levi This is my mom and dad Jenny and Greg Cooper nice

to meet you all Great place and my brother Matt Shall we

sure So

what are you going to do can't call to which all from what Chuck said Matt

is the main suspect

What else could it be?

Well Chuck was there.

I don't think he would do it either Chuck and Matt are the only two who

know about the point

You may have to go to the police this time.

I am 99% sure about one do it well 98

There you go, thank you

Thank you all

Everything is delicious Naomi I had some help.

Thank you though.

Marian heard from Lydia and She said that Lydia's happy in

her cousin's home, but she did not sound happy Is she on rum springer?

Yes, but I don't think we should talk about that.

Oh Cheryl you worry too much about our feelings.

I am more than happy to answer your questions Jenny

Well, I've read that you encourage your children to go out and sin

And our church we teach our children that sin is something to stay away from mom

I Didn't send my children out into the street to

teach them that it's dangerous.

I Understand how you feel But there are so many children who walk away from

their faith as they get older Of course our desire as parents is

that they join the church But that is their decision one

between them and good not hours Make sense.

I was expected to follow in my parents footsteps because they're pastors But it

wasn't till I got out into the world.

I started to realize why I needed a savior.

I Think when I really gave my life to Christ, it was real Do most stay

in the church after they join They do and we believe it is because they were

given the chance to choose if they do decide to leave once they're part of The

church they'll be shuns, right?

I Have not seen any shunning for many years.

It is way less prevalent today

Who's ready for cake?

I am me too

The cake was delicious Naomi

Do you like it I do thank you

Oh So I

only added a few charms so you can kind of pick your own or you could

just tell me which charms you want I thought we could add to it each year

It's perfect. I love it

Now for our gift what you didn't have to do that Would

everyone join me outside and I will get the lemonade

Close your eyes

Just close your eyes

What is it you can open your eyes Oh

Patience Am I going for a ride?

I hope for many

Patience is yours.

What? This is the horse that you told me about We

discussed it with the family and we're happy to board her here So she's yours to

take for a ride whenever you want.

That's too generous of you.

Well, it's easy for us We have an empty stall and plenty of hay.

I could barely keep the surprise from you I was about to burst we're glad you

like her you always wanted a voice.

I like her

You didn't tell me about Levi Levi is just a friend mom as

long as you know, that's all he can ever be

I Still can't believe it.

I have a horse.

Did you take a picture?

Oh, yeah I took like 20 pictures of you and your birthday horse.

Can I see it?

Um, yeah I think I must have left my phone back there.

Um, okay. I'll be right back.

Okay. Hmm

Okay Okay, Matt, where would you hide a coin?

My phone was in the truck

Good So if you're you know want to tell me what you're looking for maybe I

can just help you find it No, Matt.

I just just wanted to see if I was a thief or not That's not it

But Chuck told me he saw your truck drive by the Swiss miss last night and

I just wanted to prove it wasn't you Have I ever stolen anything from you?

No Okay, well, you know Chuck was right that he saw me drive by but I

couldn't be sure I didn't sleep last night, so I just went for a drive and

When I saw lights on in the shop, I wanted to see what was going on,

but I saw Chuck working.

I figured everything was fine.

Oh I'm sorry you think

you can forgive me

No, I don't think so unless I delete your horse photos wait, that's not

fair Okay, um, if you're done snooping around I do need to

call Leah back.

Leah Do you have a girlfriend?

Oh, she's she's more than girlfriend.

She is my fiance What Matt you didn't say anything.

Okay. Well, we're definitely even now.

I'm sorry I just I'm not ready to really open it up for discussion with mom

and dad. Well, I can keep a secret

Since when

A job well done It has a default code

so you'll need to set a new one.

Thanks Chuck Wish I had gotten the safe before the coin was stolen.

Yeah, I'm sure sorry about that.

Thanks Let me know if there's anything else that you need.

I will Bye Chuck.

Thanks Chuck

Don't think it was Chuck I don't either.

I'm 100% sure that it wasn't Matt Who else could it be?

I have no idea Which is why I called Tuchel this morning and reported the coin

is stolen. I think that is wise

Well coming man Not yet.

Cheryl and I are going to go visit Maybelline.

All right. Well, see you later.

Hi Who is Maybelline?

Maybelline Finn I had asked her if she remembered the streeters and

she does Maybe she'll know what happened to Ellen.

Mm-hmm. Let us find out

Maybelline has been blind since she was just a child

Ellen was such a lovely young woman

It's hard for me to imagine why she married a man like Bill Why

what was he like?

Well, I know it's not polite to speak ill of the dead, but

he was just awful

He would never let her out of his sight She couldn't go out without

him knowing what she was doing or where she was going

We live right next door to Ellen and she and my mother would chat

over the fence

She confided in my mother

Bill would not have liked it if he knew what really good friends they were Do

you remember the night he died?

I won't ever forget it Not because of Bill's death, but

I heard things that night that just didn't make sense And

when I asked my mom about it

She said I must have been mistaken

I think she knew what happened.

I think she kept it a secret even from me.

You said you heard things

That night

I heard a car pull in

To Bill and Ellen's and a little bit later a car left

There must have been a couple of hours that went by and then a car arrived

About 15 minutes before the police showed up

The story was that Amos came by To visit his

brother Bill and found Bill at the bottom of the stairs

Amos said that Ellen had left Bill about a week earlier But

you don't think she did

Well, I heard Ellen and my mother talking just two days before

Bill's death And when I asked her about that

She said she hadn't

I think that's the only time my mother lied to me

You think Ellen was there but she left before the police came?

I am blind, but I have excellent hearing

Do you think Ellen could have killed Bill before she left town?

Ellen was not the type of person to do something like that

I'm afraid we may never know what really happened that night

I Spoke to Bill's brother Amos He says Ellen is still alive

Do you think he's telling the truth?

I'm not sure, but why would he lie?

Lunch is ready.

I have something I want to show to Cheryl first

It's right over here

It's just like the one in Ellen's purse

She made it for my mom

Ellen loved lilacs

It's beautiful

I Smell something

delicious Yes fresh bread

My friends take care of me We do what we can

But it's Chuck that does most of the heavy lifting around here

He is very good to me.

He's coming by later to do some painting

He says something in the house needs to be touched up

Why are you smiling?

Maybelline and Chuck were once in love But Maybelline didn't

want to burden Chuck with her disability So she told him that she had fallen for

someone else so that he would leave her But I believe she regrets

her decision And realized that she turned a love away a love that

would have given them both happiness Does Chuck know no and

she made me promise not to tell Well, you just told me I did not promise

not to tell you And you did not promise not to tell anyone

Good news we found your coin That was quick We

got lucky He sold it to some guy in Akron We're still trying to find

out who he is

Recognizing? I've never seen him before

No, sorry

No Okay Well, we'll post this around town.

Someone must know who he is Keep the picture in the meantime Do you

think he'll come back?

I doubt it But you never know

Good day ladies, excuse me Thanks

I can't believe it.

It's my fault Chuck, what's your fault?

Remember when I told you I checked with someone about the value of the coin?

Yeah That's him He lives in Akron.

We met a couple years ago at a coin convention

We've been passing emails back and forth since then

I had no idea he would do something like this

Well, thankfully we found the coin and To be honest, I'm

just glad it wasn't someone I know

Still, I should never have told him

Chuck, hang on a second Sure

This reminds me of a story A story about a young man and a young

woman who were madly in love She had a problem Problem

she was afraid might ruin his life

So she told him she was in love with someone else

But she wasn't And all these years later She

still regrets telling him that

Thank you

Bye, Chuck

Wait Don't

get mad I talked to Lance and he mentioned that he ran into someone

at the bank They fired the person who replaced you.

Isn't that wonderful?

Why would you talk to Lance?

You know, I think the world of Lance He broke my heart And he's very sorry.

We all make mistakes I thought you wanted a family What does that have to do

with anything? When you're not in your 20s anymore and if you haven't noticed Sugar

Creek is not exactly overflowing with eligible men When dad lived

here She has a point And he left He knew there was no opportunity

here I want to help you.

I don't want you to wake up one day and realize that your life has passed

you by She already has a cat.

Not helpful, Matt

Excuse me

She wants me to stand by and watch her waste her life.

She has so much potential.

She still does Does it occur to you that she's happy?

Matt, don't start.

Real happiness rarely comes without responsibility Yeah Cheryl is like the

epitome of responsibility.

Just ask Aunt Mitzi.

I wasn't talking about Cheryl Oh, wait, okay, of course.

Yeah back to me Can you not even imagine the possibility that I've changed?

How could I when you don't come round enough for me to know anything about you?

Okay. Well, here's something

I'm engaged. What?

You're kidding me.

You're marrying someone we haven't even met yet.

Mm-hmm Matt, you don't have a steady job Yeah, no, I don't

have a job.

No, I started my own business and it's doing really well.

What kind of business?

You remember when I was always saying that there's an easier way

You left me Sorry, I just couldn't listen to them anymore I

think it's safe for you to come back in now Why did mom talk you into

giving up your dreams too?

No No, I uh wrote dad a check for everything I've ever

borrowed with interest

It felt pretty good.

I know it's not about the money, but

Matt, do you think I'm ruining my life?

Are you asking me for advice?

I hate to admit it, but mom's not long.

I thought I'd be married by now But Lance isn't right for me

For now, I just think this is where I'm supposed to be I

know that doesn't make sense

I'm sorry about all that

I'm sorry

We're sorry Your dad pointed out that what you choose doesn't have

to make sense to me as long as it does to you It's hard to know

when to stop parenting.

You always came to me for advice but now you two are grown and

You don't need me That's not true.

We still need you.

Yeah, just not the same way we used to I want what's best for you And

I'm gonna do my best and

Let go

We hope you both can forgive us Of course we can

Get in here

Morning miss Cooper.

Hey chief

Well, I think I got some good news for you.

Oh, yeah Thanks for the information that Chuck gave us the acron police picked up

the guy in the photo And he's been charged Did they say what he did with

the other things?

He said he didn't date them So what there were two robberies on the same night.

Have you thought about getting a security system?

What if someone taking them had something to do with whatever happened here 40 years

ago? Does anything change?

No, then leave it alone

That's in the past

What happened Helen

Of course

If you weren't hiding something why would you lie?

Because bill told everyone that he kept Ellen inside to protect her that she was a

danger to herself So ellen was there the night bill died

And you went over to the house found him dead and helped

ellen get away

Your ellen's streeter

And you're the man she loved

When my brother must have sensed that ellen was planning to leave

He put her things inside that old chute Then he came

back later that evening and

Found that she was ready to leave.

Oh, he was so furious.

There isn't anyone else

You're lying let go of me

I tried to help him but he died instantly

I was afraid the police would think she'd done it Told her I'd come pick her

up and take her to the bus station in kin

How did you figure it out?

Maybelline fin told me that she had heard a car pulling up But that it

had left before the police came But it wasn't until I smelled ellen sachet

That I remembered the handkerchief that maybelline showed me You made that for

maybelline's mother didn't you?

Yeah And the flowers on that match the flowers on your pillows

Did maybelline's mother know what happened that night?

She saw him has dragged me away, but she never told anyone Why

did you take the person's suitcase from my office?

If you had told me you knew where ellen was I would have given them to

you. I panicked

I hope you'll forgive me Of course I can forgive you And

when that coin turns up I belongs to you ellen Oh, thank you

It has sent a little value If I were you I would tell chief twitchell the

truth Bill's death was already ruled as an accident and After 40 years,

he's not going to want to reopen this case You're sure?

Trust me. He doesn't want the paperwork

Did you enjoy your time with your family?

I did. I'm glad they got to see my life here.

It might not be exactly what they envisioned for me But I think they're

starting to accept that I'm right where God wants me to be

Family is a blessing from God.

Yeah, you ready?

Let's go

Family isn't always perfect.

It's messy and complicated But it's also one of God's greatest

gifts And when we lean into love Even broken

places can be mended

Have a happy family
