Previously on Walker...

I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner.

But there is no denying it, Cass.

- _ - Right, I love you.

You both put your hats in for lieutenant.

The way I see it, the competition's on.

- Good luck. - This obsession of yours,

this is dangerous.

Next time it could be someone else

who pays for your actions.

- Cordi? - Cordell!

Where's Luna?

David!

Did you know that Dad wrote letters for us just in case

he died while undercover?

I figured reading them was something

we should decide together.

You lied to me.

You got a motel room.

The worst part... worse than lying...

is that you were struggling

and you never said anything.

I heard what you said,

but that is the one death I don't blame on the Jackal.

I blame Luna's death on you.

- Geri. Hey. - Hey.

So, I think I just about got things sorted over here.

Uh, what about there? Anything I can help with?

Uh, no, not now.

I just, I still think it's too soon to visit.

You're a reminder and right now,

that's the last thing she needs

when she's just trying to keep from drowning, you know?

Cordi?

Cordi?

Cordi?

Hey, hey, um...

Hey. Sorry, I-I-I don't know what, um...

No, it... You're okay.

All right? You're okay. I'm here.

Right. Yeah, thank you.

No, don't thank me.

I love you.

I love you, too.

Crap, I think he's waking up.

- I'll talk to you later. - Okay.

Hey! There he is!

Look who's awake. Good morning, bud!

Golly, you scared the hell out of me, Dad.

Well, hey!

It's your last day of senior year.

Wanted to start you off like a champ.

- Thanks. - I mean, I know finals were last week

- and all, but I... - But you almost died last week.

What's this, uh... what's this really about?

What do you mean? Like I said,

you know, it's-it's a big day. I-I-I wanted to celebrate

all that you've accomplished this year, and...

Yeah, yeah, when, uh, when you weren't here.

Look...

Dad, I... I see what you're trying to do.

And I'm, like, I'm really grateful for it.

But, you know, all this trauma and stuff,

you know, the last few months...

We're not exactly gonna forget it overnight.

But, um, it'll take a minute, you know?

Yeah.

Dad?

Bring it in, Dad.

"What kind of lieutenant do you hope to be?"

Nah, I've already done that one.

Okay...

"Where do you see yourself in the next ten years?"

Nah, that's kind of easy.

I've seen firsthand how my captain has

tried to manage that history with the present...

Everyone swears by the newfangled thermometers,

but a real pit master just knows when it's time.

- Now, this is gonna be used for events... - Wait.

Catering's not really part of this new venture, right?

Because Ben didn't say anything

and this looks like a whole... thing.

Well, definitely not... often.

But maybe for smaller events.

No, this is just, um, testing some recipes for Augie's party.

Which you do realise is not until tomorrow. Right, Bon?

At it again.

God only knows who the Davidsons

are subletting their property to.

Well, we'll have duelling symphonies soon enough.

And about that, those contracts... they settled?

Oh, yeah, yeah. They're all ready to go, why?

Well, bring 'em by, I have a few ideas

you all might want to consider.

Okay.

- My turn. - No.

- What? - No one touches my grill.

I thought you were teaching me how to do this.

I need to know how to do it for events.

You really think I'm not gonna help you, Abeline?

Mm.

Good morning.

Geri-science was a winner.

Your sleepy-time remedy worked like a charm.

- Thank you. - I'm so glad.

So, how is Walker?

He's okay.

He has his people.

And we want to make sure you know that you have people, too.

Wait.

- Come in. - People?

What people? People plural?

- Good morning, ladies. - Oh, guys. No, seriously.

I do not need 24/7 Cassie-sitting.

We know that, but you deserve to be surrounded by love.

Mm-hmm. And today is your lucky day because

that love in gonna come in the form

of a trip through everyone's favourite law firm.

- Again? - Well, it's no Hawk's Shadow,

but Pearson Specter has its charm.

If not, we could always rewatch Beaches.

Yeah, we're not gonna do that.

- Mm-mm. - Okay, fine.

- Thank you. - Aw, I got you, baby.

Ah. Mama, come on. This is amazing.

Uh... And exactly what Augie wanted.

Well, that's what we were hoping for.

Mmm. Hey, hey, hey.

- No, you don't, you don't have... - No, no, no, no, no.

Time and time again, we've come so close to losing you.

Mama, I am right here.

And I'll be okay.

This time was just a... a little different, you know?

I am having trouble

telling up from down sometimes. But, uh...

This...

here and now, this is very real.

But then, so is everything that's going through your head.

I mean, maybe now you try and focus on

what you can do

and not what you might have done.

I am trying.

Just... for a while there, I told myself,

once this case was over,

everything would fall into place. You know? But, uh,

me, thinking that way, I...

I ended up just making a mess of everything.

One thing at a time, Cordell.

You just need to choose where you start.

Don't tell me that that is a Perez kids staple

"kitchen sink omelet"?

Oh, Ben.

Between Kelly earlier and you now, I just...

- I don't know what to say. - No.

You're my sister and you're hurting.

I'm gonna be here.

And I understand what you're going through.

What is it, Cass?

I can't compare this to what you went through with Lucas.

Look, whether it's years or months,

this loss will stick with you.

Because it isn't just about him, it's about

losing the future you were planning.

You just have to try and focus on what's ahead.

You've been working so hard.

Aren't those lieutenant interviews coming up?

Yeah, they're today.

It was all I could think about until...

And now I just don't know how to feel,

or what to do.

Wait a second.

The omelet we had as kids,

the aromatherapy you brought.

You've employed nostalgic mind tricks.

Mm.

Come in.

- Dad? - Hey.

I-I-I felt like a total weirdo

walking down that hallway.

That is probably a healthy reaction

for an adult man to have.

Fair.

Hey. I-I-I just wanted to-to-to check in with you,

you know? Almost the end of freshman year.

So many milestones this year for you.

For your brother. By the way,

how do you think Augie is-is feeling about graduating?

You know, after everything?

I think he had to start growing up a long time ago.

So this is just ceremony.

Yeah.

He mentioned something earlier that got me thinking.

And after this abduction...

"This abduction."

That is... oof.

Look, I don't know what Augie really thinks,

but I'd be willing to bet he just needs you to be there.

I know it's all I wanted.

Stel...

That wasn't your fault.

And I ended up where I was meant to be, I think.

And everything that I went through this year,

it wasn't about you.

The necklace, the secrets, all of that,

I did that on my own.

- Maybe. - Not maybe, it's true.

Though I guess it may be a little bit your fault,

since people always say that...

You are your father's daughter?

- Something like that. - Yeah.

Hey. Um...

If you get anything from me,

I don't want it to be running into danger.

You know, I-I had this, uh, this-this dream sort of,

and, uh, things were different for you.

Your mom was still here,

and I kind of wasn't.

- You know, maybe... - Dad.

There's no version where you being gone is better.

That would just be a different type of pain.

I still need my dad.

You'll always have me.

I'm so proud of you.

- How did... how did you... ? - We didn't read them.

We didn't have time, and then it just,

it didn't feel right.

I know that you came here to apologise,

but I don't need that.

I don't need these goodbyes

or whatever that version of you had to say to me.

But maybe you do.

And then maybe after that,

we can figure out where to go from here.

What is a situation in which you realised you made the wrong call?

I like to think that every call is the right one

in the context that you have at the time,

but obviously hindsight is 20/20.

Someone on my team was losing their way.

And they told me things would change

and I took them at their word.

And then it was too late.

Yeah, sure, we caught the guy,

but we lost someone in the process.

So, um, yeah,

I'd say I've had my fair share of "what-ifs."

How did your journey lead you here?

I was an artsy kid.

Dance, theatre.

Um...

With some practice, you can be good, but...

to be great, it's another level.

Through each phase of my life, I've asked myself one question:

Where is this taking me?

And once I knew what I wanted,

I was going to be great.

And I know for a fact that, after all this time,

the answer is right here, right now.

What makes you a good candidate?

You know, a week ago I would have tooted my own horn

like a freight train.

But now, what makes me a good candidate?

You know, I'm not so sure.

What makes you a good candidate?

Well, I'm a soldier till the end.

I take orders and I give them.

I protect the team. That's what I do.

If you were to get this promotion,

what are your plans for the future?

How'd it go?

Ooh.

Look, you may not have been on your A game,

but your C game is better than most.

I bet you were perfect.

No. Perfect's more your thing.

Unless you count culinary school.

- I told you that in confidence. - I'm just saying.

Damn. What?

You think we already have a decision? I'm just, I'm...

getting some water, okay?

Hey, you did great.

Just try to relax, all right?

Look, I know you got a lot of things on your mind,

but you heard James.

What do you say we grab something to eat, and...

talk about anything other than all that?

Yeah.

- As long as you're not cooking. - Oh.

You are so funny.

Yeah, I am.

Good news.

We officially got the go-ahead

- for the Side Step 2.0. - What?

- I'm so excited. Yeah! - What? That's amazing!

That's-that's gonna be amazing for us.

Hey, uh, I wanted to talk to you.

So, I've had a lot of time to think lately,

and I know I haven't been the partner you deserve,

and I'm so sorry.

I-I know we've talked about my, um, experience,

my dream, or whatever you'd call that state,

but, um, in it...

... you were happy, Ger.

I saw you so fully.

I saw everything I've been missing.

And maybe it's selfish,

but I want to be the person to keep a smile on your face.

So I promise you, I will work every day

to do just that, to-to-to help make you happy.

Well, you do make me happy.

I wouldn't be here if you didn't.

But things took a turn before I left.

And when I got back,

those things,

they fell off the rails.

And not just for you.

Everything with the kids, and all from Hoyt.

And that grief came flooding back in.

And I was drowning,

and you weren't there.

I'm sorry I wasn't there.

I-I hate that I wasn't there.

And please believe me when I say th-that

this was-was the exception of all exceptions.

It's not so simple, Cordi.

I mean, the Jackal brought a cloud over you,

over us, the kids.

You know, and there's always gonna be another big case.

Never like this.

I know that you mean that, Cordi.

I do.

But... never?

You can't know that, and when it happens,

I just want to make sure that you're gonna come to me.

- Okay? - Okay.

Okay.

Surprised you're here, Perez.

I just needed a minute without people waiting for me to break.

I've never really looked at all this before.

Man.

You know, sometimes I look at this

and I wonder what the hell I got myself into, you know?

But, uh,

it's a good reminder of how far this place has come.

Change comes slowly.

Last couple of years, it's because of you, you know?

Oh, I don't know about that. Some.

Not all of it.

Recently it's been because of you, too.

Change does come slowly, but

every once in a while we make a leap forward.

Congratulations, Lieutenant Perez.

W-What?

Wait, no, my-my interview was a mess.

We all have good days and bad days, right?

But...

being a leader, it's not about the good days.

It's about what you bring to the table on your worst.

And in that interview, you showed us that

not only are you an exceptional, albeit pain the ass,

Ranger on your good days,

you are one hell of a Ranger on your bad ones, too.

So, uh...

- I guess I'll see you at the party... - Yeah.

... Lieutenant.

All right.

- Hey. - Hey.

You still need that ride to the graduation?

I mean, I don't need that ride, but...

do you need to have a conversation with me?

I do need to have a little bit of a conversation with you, yeah.

Come in.

This is the spot, huh?

Yeah, it's-it's the spot.

Cap, this is getting a little weird, man.

Look, man. Um...

I just want you to know

that you really do deserve this promotion, you do.

Okay? And all that is coming for you, soon.

This is in no way a-a failure.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Can I, um...

- can I jump in here real quick? - Yeah, of course.

- I mean, yeah. It's just us. - Uh...

Look, with all due respect,

I know that it's not a failure, Cap.

What I've experienced and what I've learned in this city

these past few years, I've...

I've seen a lot.

And I know that I'm still learning.

Hey, listen, man, it's not just because

- Cassie has more experience. - I know.

It's because she has, like, way more experience.

Hey, speaking of experiences,

Kelly has someone that she wants to hook you up with.

No. No, no, no, no, no. No, thank you.

- That wasn't even smooth. - Hey, I'm just the messenger, okay?

She told me to tell you that this woman is,

and I quote, "A delight."

I'm sure she is, but can we, please...

- Yes. Let's roll. - ... get up out of here now?

Hey. So you're saying there's an after-party down here?

- Is this sanctioned? - Well, it's my graduation, Mawline.

It's just in case people need more, uh,

- you know, bathrooms. - Sure.

They're all clamouring for the facilities.

Mawline, you stored so much stuff in here.

Well, lanterns take up a lot of room.

- Yeah, and we gotta go all out. - Uh, yes, we do.

Quickly...

Auggie.

So, I found the printouts

- you left in my room. - Yeah. Uh...

- I, uh, I got in. - Everywhere.

Yes? This young man got in everywhere

he applied, didn't even tell us what he was up to.

When did you do your college applications?

- I'm just disciplined, I guess. - Well, there you go, August.

So, what's it gonna be?

- Michigan? Harvard? - Harvard?

Thank you, Mawline. Uh, I'm not, I'm not sure.

I'm just still weighing some things.

- Is this real? - Yes, it's real.

We're here, you know? We're, we're, we're...

We're here.

And... we are celebrating. Right?

So... so, actually,

I want to talk to y'all.

I've been thinking about, well, a, uh,

a family vacation.

- Dad, you, uh... you don't have to. - Yeah, it's okay.

Hold on, hold on. Let me say this, for real.

A family vacation like we've always talked about.

I-I know something always comes up, but-but...

it-it's true, nothing's going to magically change

unless I start to try, so...

what do y'all say?

And if the answer's yes, how would you feel

if I invited Geri to come along?

Well, yeah.

You know, so, um...

... why don't we take some of this stuff

back to the house?

Damned if I'm allowing the whole party to happen down here.

Yeah. Here, let me get that.

Wait, everybody. Everybody, wait, wait, wait.

August Edward Walker. Come on!

- So, "Edward," huh? - Yeah.

Is that after a relative or something?

No, Emily was just a really big Twilight fan.

Yeah.

Got it.

And you're clearly Team Jacob.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Hey, we did it, though. We did it.

All right, gotta keep you hydrated on your big day.

- All right. - Cheers.

- Cheers. - All right, drink up. It's water.

- Is it water? - Yeah, I approve.

Trey!

Hey, hey, sorry. Sorry.

I'm not gonna stop the music for too long.

I-I just wanted to say one thing. Uh...

I'm proud. I'm proud of my son on his graduation.

I'm proud of the family and friends here. Uh, I'm...

I'm grateful.

Uh...

Kiddo, I spent months worrying about how to let go.

You know, when to do it, how to do it.

And I realised it happened,

and I-I have to let it happen.

Um, you're not a "kiddo" anymore.

Uh, to my family, I love you.

I am nothing without you.

And I am more grateful than ever

to be with you here and now.

Uh, that's enough out of me.

Uh, carry on, the night is young. Have fun. Um, cheers.

Son...

- Hey. - Uh...

Listen, I know that you think that, uh,

giving toasts is your specialty, but

you learned it from someone.

There's something else that we need to tell you.

A few years ago, we offered you that farmhouse

as a place to weather the storm...

... but you finally turned it into a home, Cordell.

Cheers to you.

Cheers.

- We love you, son. - Love you. Love you.

Love you.

Ben said these weren't gonna eat themselves.

I'm sure he and Abby have an agenda to get me to eat.

Well, food is Abby's love language.

She's worried about you.

Plus, she's probably watching right now.

So you know she's not gonna rest until

you take a bite of her celebration crostini.

I want you to know that I'm not salty.

Did my brother tell you to use that

as a conversation starter since he over-salts and he knows it?

I didn't need a prompt from your brother.

Hey, I get what it is to win something great

in the face of something horrible.

Cass, I know you're not trying to celebrate right now,

but I hope you know that you have the support of all of us here.

Me especially.

Thanks.

Yeah.

I hope you're still feeling all warm and fuzzy

after a few weeks of partnering with Walker.

Oh, damn. Yeah, you're right.

Indeed, my friend.

You gonna finish that?

No.

Thank you.

I'm sorry, dude, you thought that it was...

the necklace was in this fireplace?

No, the other one, but you didn't read Hoyt's letter.

- It was very confusing. - Okay.

Um, so is this the moment where I can be

awkward but honest?

Every moment. Yes.

I should have come to you sooner,

what with the whole, you know, death threat situation.

And-and I shouldn't have left you hanging

as long as I did.

We were in it together, and-and I'm so glad

we ended up that way,

even if it was kind of a mess.

What? I'm-I'm working on a decent apology here.

No, I know, I know.

Uh, it's just... the apple does not fall far from the tree.

You figured you'd be smart enough to get out of it,

- and you were. - Yeah.

Well, I was smart enough

- to surround myself with Walkers. - Exactly.

That kind of sounds like Uncle Hoyt.

Mm-hmm.

So I was thinking...

Stel, I know that you're

maybe finally gonna have a normal college experience

next year, I hope.

And, Sadie, I know that you're working on your music,

and you should, but if you want health insurance,

I have a business proposition for you.

It is a family business, after all.

Oh, this is nice. The whole mixing

our personal lives with family hasn't been awful.

Wow, it's so sweet of you to put it that way.

I'm serious. And I-I feel like we should

keep mixing our-our personal lives.

And maybe we could add a real estate level to it.

Why are you making that face? Is that...

Is that a no? You don't want to...

I'm just trying to get you to say normal words.

Right. Yes. Sure. Okay.

Do you think that we should move in together?

Yes. Yes, we should.

I know you used to think

this kind of hoopla was too much.

But if anyone has earned a celebration,

- it is this family. - Oh, I agree.

Yeah, those kids are good.

It's meant a lot being here for them through all this.

I'm glad you think so, too.

Hey, Abeline.

Hmm?

I can sell the boat.

I wasn't saying that you had to do that.

Yeah, I know you weren't. Uh...

But I would like to get you out on it.

Just once.

See that wind blowing through your hair.

We can get fans, you know.

Put 'em all over the house.

Well...

I just, I don't want to get into a thing where

you give something up, and then are upset

that I didn't give something up.

Oh, you think like that. I don't think like that.

I do, and-and that's why I need to explain.

It was never my intention

to abandon you during our retirement.

I love this business with Ben,

and I want to do more.

- But not the day-to-day. - You don't?

God no.

You think I want to be dealing with the bride of the week?

- Ugh. - I just wanted to launch something.

Oversee it. Meddle.

I do love the way you think.

Okay, since we're coming clean,

can I tell you what I'm thinking?

We could keep the boat. Now, hear me out.

We could keep the boat,

and use it for your event business.

Tax write-off.

Mm.

With the occasional wind in your hair.

Hey...

So how does a vacation sound?

You were right, earlier.

Uh, you can't trust it's gonna be different

unless I show you. So, I am talking

the real deal here.

You, me, the kids,

uh, a road trip,

- a plane, a boat... - Wow.

Many forms of transportation.

All the modes of travel.

I like it.

- Yeah? - Yeah. Truly, I really do.

But, Cordi, what I said earlier still stands.

I love us, and I understand you,

I really think I do.

And I know that you want to do something different, but...

... eh, given your life,

realistically, I mean,

how are you gonna pull this off?

Well, because...

... I think I might have a solution for that.

- Hey, there. - Hey.

Move-in day, that's right.

Uh, congratulations again.

Thanks.

Hey, Cass,

I got to say something.

Okay.

I know I lost my way these last couple of months,

and it shouldn't have taken

God knows how many warnings from you

or a tragedy to get us here.

But I'm here now,

telling you I am sorry.

Thank you. And I know.

Look, we can say it's the job all we want,

but the job didn't have to be like this.

This case,

it didn't have to end like that.

And that's gonna be hard for me to forget.

I wouldn't expect you to.

And time doesn't heal everything, I know that.

Hey, um...

if it helps,

even, uh,

even just a little,

I believe I report to you now.

You're... you're taking a leave of absence?

Just for the summer. If you approve.

I think I owe it to Geri and the kids.

It's been a long time coming.

It has. And, Walker, of course.

I'm... I'm really glad you're doing this.

Thank you.

And I promise you, I will

do everything I can to be a better colleague.

And friend.

Hmm.

Well, we probably both need this.

Just to get to the other side of it.

Of course.

All right, well, I will, uh,

let you get settled in...

Lieutenant.

Hmm.

I can't believe my brother's

actually gonna take a vacation.

Seriously. I don't want to jinx it.

Hey, your phone's blowing up.

Yeah, yeah, it's...

I think it's a telemarketer or some spam call, but

I'll answer this unknown number

and get off their list. Hello?

Uh, yes, this is... this is him.

Um, I can hold.

It's the governor.

- Wait, what? - I don't know how else to say what I just...

Uh, yes, sir.

I do remember that, yes.

Really? I see. Yes, sir. All right.

Bye.

That was seriously the governor?

Yeah, yeah, it was,

and I-I worked with some people in his office before.

I guess I made a good impression.

Yeah, and they're calling to say "good job" now?

More like they need my help.

Is that for you?

I... I think I need to go.

Uh, but, um,

look at some of those listings I sent you,

because you are better at the floor plans, so...

This is true.
