Ow.

Ow.

You're lucky this sprained ankle isn't a broken neck.

You have to learn your limits.

Ask for help.

You can't just fly around here caring for everyone else,

not getting any sleep, until you literally collapse.

I'm not a child, Maddie. Stop scolding me.

The last person I settled into this house to recover was a child.

I've been a mom for the better part of my life,

and Dr. Bill Townsend insisted that no one could take care of him better

than he could take care of himself, so I don't know how to care for an adult.

This is new for me,

and I'm messing it up.

It's new to me too.

In baseball, you... learn to play hurt.

Push through the pain.

And I carried that into my adult relationships.

Once, I... I cut my hand on a can opener,

and Vicky dropped me off at the ER...

on our way to a wine tasting.

The problem with playing hurt is that you

never completely heal.

You don't get stronger. You just

get by.

And I never want to just get by with you.

I wanna be vulnerable enough...

to let you take care of me without complaint.

Caring for you when you're hurt is one of the ways that I get to show you

how much I love you.

I know.

And I appreciate the love you show me... everyone who's lucky enough to know you.

You're an incredible woman, Maddie.

And you are an incredible man.

Even when you are an incredible pain.

I mean, when you're in pain.

Mmm.

Okay.

I am gonna go pick up your prescription and go by the spa.

You'll call Erik to explain?

Yep.

Anything else that I can get my strong, brave patient?

Chocolate milk?

Have I told you how much I love this shirt?

- I believe so. - Well, good.

Because I don't wanna sound critical, but...

surely you have others.

I suppose we have been a bit preoccupied.

I'll swing by home and pack a few things in a bag

And leave a few things here?

Oh, Erik Whitley.

I will clear a drawer for you.

A nightstand... for you.

A kitchen cabinet... for you.

Ooh!

Be mindful with that steamy talk, Ms. Decatur.

I want you to feel at home here.

When we first tried this,

I told you I was still processing the loss of my wife.

Vera and your baby.

I thought I was looking for something to... fill the space they left behind.

But what I needed

was to grow around it.

Create space around it for something new.

You taught me that.

It's not just drawers and kitchen cabinets, Helen.

You've made space for me in your heart,

and it is the only home I'll ever need.

And as grateful as I am for that

and for what you've done for me...

I... I still haven't seen your home.

I'm guessing that's where, uh, these mysterious other shirts are kept.

Are you free tomorrow night?

Mmm.

November is a weird time to fish.

Grandfather was adamant that bass fishing was best in cold weather.

His advice never led me down a bad path.

I don't know which lure to pick. The water is pretty muddy.

And shallow. So you want something that has a little extra flash.

The sun will be able to catch it and make it sparkle,

and the fish will rise to meet it.

Speaking of flashy,

I'm sure you were as surprised as I was

by your father's new motorcycle and new behavior.

It isn't exactly new, is it?

This is the way he acted four years ago when he was drinking.

Which I promise you he is not.

He is going through something, and I refuse to call it a midlife crisis

since that would imply that I, too, am midlife.

You never told me the whole story.

I was a kid back then, but now I'm an adult.

Almost.

I can handle it.

Perhaps.

But when it comes to your father and me,

you are entitled to the truth

but not to all the information.

Some things stay between a married couple.

Mmm.

If we're talking truth, I asked Erik for a recommendation letter.

Lovely. I'm sure he was honored.

For a school in California.

California.

Why California?

They have an incredible photography program.

It... it isn't just fine arts.

There are classes in photojournalism, fashion photography, sports, wildlife.

Wow. So many options.

That's promising.

But if Dad's in a bad place, maybe it's not a good time.

Annabelle Sullivan.

Your father and I have been able to forgive each other many things,

but we would never forgive ourselves for taking you off your path.

You only have this one life,

and you have to do everything in your power to make it count.

No matter where that takes you.

Do you hear me?

Yes, ma'am.

And the one promise I have always asked remains.

Don't hide anything from me.

Don't hide yourself from me.

And if that water... ever gets muddy,

you rise up and shine bright.

Deal?

Deal.

I am so sorry to keep you waiting.

Madeline Townsend.

Maddie. Lovely to meet you, Mike.

Michael.

Welcome, Michael.

We're so grateful Emergency Services sent someone to assess the storm damage.

You can continue about your business, ma'am.

I don't need you for this leg of the inspection.

Oh. Would you like some sweet tea?

I don't drink on the job.

Thanks for coming in.

I wasn't sure what to do...

Huh.

Cal doing all right?

Yes. Thanks to Howie. Just two weeks in that boot.

Howie mention anything else?

No. Should he have?

You know, Howie and I have been driving around

helping whoever can't make it in to see him.

And it's been incredible.

We're doing such important and necessary work,

helping the most vulnerable people in Serenity.

Are you trying to tell me you're resigning from the spa?

- No, absolutely not. - Oh, thank goodness.

I do wanna do part-time here. Swap schedules with Carla, essentially.

She'll be here during the day while I'm with Howie,

and I'll join her for the rush in the afternoon.

Sounds wonderful. And to be clear, I only sounded concerned about losing you

because we adore you around here.

Thank you. I love working with the kids,

and I'm so grateful for your giving me the opportunity.

I just had no idea how much I'd miss nursing.

Howie and I are even talking about

growing our house calls into a real mobile clinic,

but it's so much work to do.

Licensing, supplies, replace Howie's Jeep with a clinic van.

- It all feels out of reach. - Because you just started.

It's okay to take a dream by inches, not just miles.

Start with the house calls and then just put one foot in front of the other.

Noreen, there is such a light about you when you work as a nurse.

You have an incredible gift, and you share it so selflessly.

God gave us all gifts. We're not meant to hoard them.

Mm-hmm.

I knew we were popular online,

but now people wanna join us or just hang out.

I mean, I never imagined Dev and I would be friends.

And he suddenly kind of attached himself to me,

which is fine.

But if people are listening to me... shouldn't I be saying something?

Draw three cards.

So what are your thoughts?

- On what? - Fame.

I win.

Seriously. I'd love to get your take.

On fame or that last hand?

This is my first time being known as more than Ty's little brother.

I'm not used to people coming to me, talking to me, wanting things from me.

I win.

Well, whenever you're in a position of influence,

you should use it in the service of others.

With great popularity comes great opportunity.

I win.

Wait, how? How do you win? I thought we were playing poker.

- I thought it was gin rummy. - We're playing "Katie cards."

I make up the rules.

- But they keep changing. - Yeah.

Because if the rules aren't good anymore, I change them.

Katie, you are wonderfully creative.

But if you play a game,

you have to set rules and follow them so the rest know what's happening.

I don't always understand, but I keep going.

Why do grown-ups get to decide what rules we have to follow?

I wanna break some rules.

Oh, I just keep making mistakes.

You know, when I played ball, it was my errors that kept me up at night.

Who told you you had to be perfect?

Oh, I could give you a list, but I think I'll just thank you.

Yeah, my new therapist dropped that one on me.

I also have some perfectionist issues.

Huh.

So what else do you and your therapist recommend

for a guy trying to get it right?

Be thoughtful.

Be diligent. Do your best.

And trust the rest of the family will give you detailed feedback

on what you should've done instead.

Hey! Hey.

"Wilt thou provoke me? Then have at thee."

Come on.

I'm so glad to catch my breath.

- Mmm. - I haven't had this much going since...

I'm too scrambled to think of a time.

I'm not quite sure if you two are here or if this is a dream.

Oh, if it was a dream, I wouldn't have six missed calls from Tom.

Tom?

- Are you in trouble? - No. Not at all.

I've wrangled him into helping Sherman and everyone else

whose insurance companies dropped them.

They're either appealing

or looking at alternative coverage for high-risk areas.

Tom likes to keep me updated.

Mmm.

He really likes to keep me updated.

Well, he can take the library off of his list

because Peggy assured me that it is a priority.

Oh, that's nice.

I've been so busy grinding my sensible yet stylish heels into the ground,

attending to town business.

Well, thank you for hosting. Ronnie and I needed a breather.

Cal and me too.

He is not the easiest patient.

Of course. I... Oh.

- Blueberry lemonade margaritas, ladies. - Oh!

Yes, yes, yes.

Oh.

- Nicely done, Erik. - Here you go. Mm-hmm.

- For you. - Thank you, sir.

And for my queen.

Don't let me get in the way of you pouring it out.

- Brownie bites are on the counter. - Thank you.

Mm-hmm.

Do not drool on my furniture.

But he's so nice to look at.

These margaritas are just as mouthwatering.

Anything's better than Ronnie's chocolate hot sauce margaritas.

Okay, can we talk about Ronnie? Or rather about what your mother said

to convince him to go out and buy himself a motorcycle.

- So it's true? - Yes!

Rowdy Ronnie has returned.

Remember when he hijacked that golf cart and did donuts on the country club green?

Or when he stole the... the Castlewood Cavaliers' mascot,

and he rode that horse through town square singing the Serenity High fight song.

And the chocolate fountain.

Oh, and the rubber ducks and the water balloons and...

Glitter bomb!

Oh! But he was not always alone in making mischief.

I do remember that Rowdy Ronnie had a partner in crime.

♪ Boom, boom, hey, hey ♪

♪ Danger Sue ♪

- One public nuisance at a time, please. - Okay.

Ah.

Those were fun days.

But if you remember,

they always ended with Ronnie crashing. Hard.

It's a pattern.

One I have no idea how to break.

I see it in Cal too.

I mean, he quite literally crashed down the stairs.

And I...

- Let me... - Go eat your brownies.

Okay. All right. I'll go get my brownies.

Don't choke on 'em now.

Erik and I are... are perfect in the moment,

and I am thankful.

I am sympathetic.

- It is a problem, though, isn't it? - Mm-hmm.

How do we care for these men? How do we break the cycles?

I'm worried if he doesn't sort it out soon,

we're gonna wind up fighting.

Now that you're not Danger Sue.

Maybe I should be.

Beat him at his own game,

or make him realize how ridiculous he's being.

Either way could work, right?

As long as you do nothing illegal.

I'm not using my executive power as the town "Temporary Whatever"

to bail you out.

Okay.

To the return of Danger Sue.

Mmm.

Here we go.

- Oh boy! Buckle up, Helen. - Yeah. Danger Sue! Hey!

Cal, what are you doing climbing those stairs?

Well, I discovered last night I can't sleep without you in my arms.

Well, at least let me help you the last few feet.

Oh goodness.

Okay.

Easy. Easy, easy, easy, easy.

Here.

Here you go.

So how was margarita night?

It actually gave me an idea.

Who do you have to talk to, Cal?

Your thoughts, problems, questions about your life.

I have Helen and Dana Sue, but... do you have anyone you can confide in?

I have you.

And you can talk to me about anything.

But you might want a more neutral party to share things with.

I've been thinking that in the way that it takes a village to raise a child,

it also takes a village to take care of each other.

Well, it used to be Erik.

But now all we talk about is the restaurant.

Well, think on it.

I want you to have a big, strong safety net

so you don't crash again.

Mmm.

Do I smell

basil?

We haven't broken the curse yet.

I'm trying something new.

I love trying something new.

"Sources suggest the situation is far more dire than town hall disclosed."

"The mayor's office didn't respond to requests for comment."

I thought it prudent to bring this to your attention immediately.

Why on earth would you decline a call from the town paper

on such an important issue?

When Alaina rang, she made it sound like a social call. What did she say?

She asked if Peggy could chitchat.

And I've had plenty going on without getting caught on the phone

with Serenity's foremost chitchatter.

Between the library...

Which Alaina portrays as unsalvageable.

And the emergency rep arriving...

Whom I have supplied

with an exhaustive list of affected homes and businesses.

And I've alerted all residents that he'll get to them eventually.

Not that it's stopped Collins from calling several times this morning

about his hardware store being seen to.

We are working ourselves to the bone, and not just us.

Somehow, people are not understanding what we're trying to do and why.

We need to rethink our messaging,

and... and then this article won't be quite so critical of our efforts.

We are deep in a financial crisis exacerbated by a natural disaster.

I don't have time to run around making sure everyone likes me

while I'm busy trying to save this town.

I no longer think either of you need this caffeine.

Look, I'm sorry, and you're right. Of course.

I might not have recognized the immediacy of Alaina's "chitchat" request either.

But we do need to run some damage control.

I'll speak with my mother,

the almighty Sentinel editor.

Yes.

And I'm taking Alaina to court.

The pickleball court, of course.

Morning, Chef.

Good morning, Dana Sue.

Good morning, you two.

Erik, I am reporting for our weekly coffee.

Unless y'all need a helping hand.

I know you and Bailey are on your own until Isaac and Cal are back.

But we're not alone.

Oh.

Apparently, she went home after her last unfortunate visit

and chopped every onion in the county.

Check, Chef.

These are absolutely perfect.

Oh!

We have plenty of shallots that need chopping.

Yes, Chef.

Yes.

I know we set these coffee dates so I could ask your advice,

but I wonder if you might not have a different discussion topic today.

You are a keen observer of human nature, Erik,

and it is so infuriating.

I thank you for the time.

I really just wanted to ask

about Annie's recommendation letter.

Uh, I'm not angry. I just

wanna know why you didn't tell me.

Should I have?

Dana Sue.

You are a singularly superb mother

and teacher... and chef,

but I'd be remiss if I didn't remind you

the true test of leadership is knowing when to take a step back.

Why do I have the feeling we're no longer talking only of Annie?

Consider Willow.

When you gave her space and your confidence,

she made a lovely fennel pesto.

When you hung over her and eyed her every move,

she couldn't keep an onion on the cutting board.

She almost hurt herself.

Well, that's what I'm afraid of. I don't want the people I love to be hurt.

But they will, with or without you.

Growth includes pain.

You can't always smooth the road for those you love.

Becoming skilled and brilliant, as you are...

takes risk.

What if she stumbles?

Then... she learns.

Just how devastating would you say this storm was to Serenity?

Are you an employee of the mayor's office?

I'm a good friend of the mayor's office.

And here is my good friend who is in the mayor's office. Helen, dear.

I have been so anxious to hear.

Did you see my front-page article in the Sentinel?

See it? I've been accosted by it.

Why would you paint the mayor's office as being apathetic

to a damaged and grieving town?

Why would you make it seem as though the library,

the... the emotional center of Serenity,

would be left to just sink into the earth?

Why would you write something so deeply unhelpful?

Helen, I am quite sure I was being helpful.

People were starving for information.

I brought these problems to light, but I did not cause them.

- Don't you wanna be part of the solution? - You're asking me to do your job?

Oh no, dear.

I am asking you to let me do mine

without the obstacles of misinformation and petty gossip

that you are passing off as news.

You know what happens when you miss the ball, Helen.

The other person scores.

I'm done playing with you, Alaina.

The people of Serenity, they trust us. And that's what matters most.

Well, Helen, dear, have you ever considered that you might be wrong?

That's the venue that they played last night.

There's a sunset... and another sunset.

Oh, there's a statue of a pink elephant holding a martini glass.

Your mom would love that.

Only if it were a margarita.

It's so amazing to see where Ty's been through his pictures.

Another picture from Ty?

It's from Monterey Institute for the Arts.

We're here with you. Open it.

They love my portfolio. They wanna see more.

This is...

This is awful.

Don't you mean awesome?

Bailey, that stock won't season itself.

This is what you wanted. What's so awful?

They want me to submit a self-portrait showing them who I am.

And?

How do I know who I am?

Oh, I thought you weren't home. Your car...

In the shop. The storm.

Right.

Your clothes.

It's a long story.

Mine too.

Can I start?

I am... I am so sorry that I didn't tell you about Bill.

But there never seemed to be a right time.

Maybe there were 100 right times, but whenever I thought about telling you,

I thought that this might be the last good moment between us.

And I couldn't stand to ruin it.

So I just... I kept kicking the can down the road.

And weeks turned into a year.

But now I see there was never gonna be a perfect time.

And your friendship means the world to me.

So much so that I... I can't imagine life in Serenity without you.

That is... if it's not too late.

That all?

Yes.

I've had some time to think too, you know,

and I can't imagine the weight you had to carry.

Please know that from here on out, you can share all of your burdens with me,

no matter what they are.

I missed you.

I missed you too.

I feel like a teenager sneaking into my boyfriend's room.

Well, we do have to hurry. My parents, I mean, the Whartons will be back soon.

- What are these? - Pictures of church.

The church you attend and I had a parting of ways.

This is where I worship now.

I can see God in your pictures.

All right.

Do not tell me that you cook and sew.

My grandmother. It was a gift for graduating culinary school.

Where the magic begins.

- And the fun stuff. - Mmm.

Sarah Vaughan's Golden Hits.

- Mm-hmm. - Yeah.

Dizzy on the French Riviera.

Nina Simone.

I Put a Spell On You.

Yes.

I should've guessed that you're a fan of vinyl.

It's the next best thing to live.

You hear the crackle,

the breathing,

hmm, the hesitation.

And you love it anyways.

Does this palace have a closet?

Perhaps where, uh, shirts are kept.

Hmm. This seems out of place next to The Green Mill and Birdland.

The night I saw you sing at Z's,

it became my favorite jazz club.

We did come here for a reason.

Mmm.

Is this Vera?

- I can move it. - No.

No, don't.

She's lovely.

The Whartons.

- Oh. - Oh.

- Oh. - Aw!

Oh!

Is that you, Danger Sue?

Rowdy Ronnie.

If you do not take me out on the town right this second,

I cannot be held responsible for my actions.

Yes, ma'am.

Taking a shower with this boot is slow, but how long was I in there?

This is the first moment I've had

to pack up all of these family photos and keepsakes after the funeral.

I don't know how it got all so jumbled.

Well, maybe a certain Miss Katie got curious.

Mmm.

This looks very taxing. Maybe you should take a break?

I have to clear all this stuff out

so you don't trip and wind up with a second boot.

Hmm. Well, what if I promise to be very,

very

careful?

Hey! How dare you!

This is my diary.

I wanna know the untold stories of Maddie.

Well, not these. An eight-year-old's thoughts are sacred.

Hmm.

Okay, fine.

How about this?

A very unfortunate haircut.

I cherish every part of you, even the bad haircuts.

I wanna know each step on the road that made you into the woman I love.

Fine. But I get to choose.

Is that a dinosaur?

No.

Katie's dinosaur is an evolution of my stuffed dragon.

When I was little, he would protect me

in exchange for jelly beans, which Mama discovered

when she followed a whole line of ants from the front door to my bedroom.

That sounds like a childhood friend any kid would be happy to have.

Not every kid is equipped to handle it. You have to be careful with dragons.

They're like us,

but with sharper teeth, tougher skin.

Don't forget about their magic. Seems to have rubbed off on you.

- Mother? - Now, don't look surprised.

You summoned me.

I asked if we could set a time.

Oh, I always have time for my... my mayor.

- Will you sit down? - I don't think so.

Then I'll keep this brief.

What were you trying to accomplish by publishing this?

Your office was given the opportunity to comment.

You're turning Serenity against me.

The least you could have done is paired the article with...

With an op-ed supporting your approach?

We held it back for more hurricane coverage.

Will this satisfy you, Madam Mayor?

I am not looking for satisfaction.

I was hoping for a balanced response.

Well, balance implies the presence of two equal forces,

two equal sides.

Thank you, Madam Editor.

The proper words are important, Mayor, in my job and in yours.

I look forward to both of us using good words

to do what's right for this town.

Thank you for coming by.

I'm sure you remember that the words "the truth shall set you free"

are prominently displayed on the walls at the Sentinel's office.

I used to touch the words for inspiration.

Daddy made me stop because I was tarnishing them.

Those words are our family legacy.

The truth must be proclaimed and protected.

When I reported on the mill, no matter what people pushed me to write,

I wrote the truth.

But this family does not harbor secrets that affect the town.

I'm not harboring secrets.

I was determining the full picture before speaking up.

People project onto silence, Peggy.

We've all learned that in how I handled Isaac.

I'm ashamed to say that, at that time,

I thought I was the one with the most to lose.

The truth is a difficult and dangerous legacy

to pass on to your children.

But it is all we have.

You're here?

I am.

You're well?

I am.

Mmm.

Mmm!

Is that a black eye?

Oh.

No, it's eyeliner.

Last night, Ronnie and I had a bit of an adventure,

and my waterproof eyeliner won't admit that it's over.

- Well, I need to hear the whole story. - Absolutely not.

I haven't stayed up that late since Annie had colic.

I'm exhausted.

And I've come to the conclusion that, out of everyone in town,

Danger Sue is the greatest danger to herself.

I leave you alone for one moment...

So... you really back?

For good.

Serenity is where I belong.

I'm not going anywhere.

Where you belong may change as you move through life,

but I'm so happy you're here

and that it's where you belong for however long it's right.

I also miss those apple pie egg rolls of yours. Hmm.

Caramel's in the fridge.

I love this one.

Aperture's off.

Well, this one's great.

Composition's a mess.

Does this one mortally offend you in some way as well?

It's boring.

I made the right decision going in undeclared.

Your forehead has a worry line that could hold soup.

Leave my forehead line alone, or I'm not gonna edit your essays anymore.

You'll have to figure out which "its" get an apostrophe yourself.

What a horrible, outsized threat.

- Did you run the whole way here? - Yeah, and I have to run back.

Dev and I are really close to cracking this Big Bad we're designing.

I wanna reference a spell you and I figured out. The insomnia spell.

I texted you. You didn't answer.

And this couldn't wait until you saw me at dinner?

- You forgot. - No. No, no, no.

I just... I got... carried away.

Maybe Dev can join us? And you helped with this spell, so you should be...

No.

No?

You two need a minute?

I like Dev, and I appreciate what you're doing for him,

but he cannot become a constant addition to every time I want to see you.

You made your chalice.

I wanted to make it with you, to symbolize pouring into each other creatively,

but I had to make it on my own.

Being there for others shouldn't mean that we stop being there for us.

I'm gonna tell you something my dad told me.

"Listen to the smart women in your life."

Love your dad.

A pledge.

To us.

Thank you both for coming in for lunch.

While it's a bit early for a pitcher of margaritas,

I thought a Margherita pizza would not be unwelcome.

Never.

So why this Margherita midday?

Where did this glitter in your hair come from?

The glitter. I'll respond to that in time.

The more pressing matter is... this.

Me. As a customer.

Doesn't it feel good?

No.

The guys are doing such an incredible job with the restaurant.

And... And I'm sorry, how is that a problem?

- All I'm doing is stepping on toes. - Ah.

Perhaps... Perhaps you need a space of your own.

A teaching kitchen or something.

Well, vo-tech isn't enough to warrant a new space,

especially once the school budget is sorted out.

Teach all ages.

Adults too. I would take a class to learn how to make your beef Wellington.

That's an idea.

Because I would love to know the secrets of your, um, Wellingtons and your beef.

- Helen? - Uh-huh. Yes. Yes, yes.

Maybe your good friend Alaina

would do a feature on the teaching kitchen.

Do not talk to me about that walking gossip column.

I told her to watch herself.

Need anything, ladies?

Oh. I cannot think of anything that I would need

that you and your colleagues have not already anticipated.

Actually, could I have a word?

I, um, I would like to invite you over to dinner at my house tonight

if you're free.

That sounds lovely.

I know that you have a wonderful family in Ohio,

but I was hoping that we could be your Serenity family.

I seem to be suffering from an abundance of family these days.

- I'd be pleased and honored. - Aw.

Michael?

Isaac?

- You two know each other? - Yeah. From college.

Oh.

Well, Michael, would you care to join us?

No, thank you. I, uh...

Let me guess. You don't eat on the job either.

Right.

Did you get any sleep last night?

Forty-five minutes.

Not only did your mom and I stay out way late,

I drank nothing but Diet Coke the whole time,

so the caffeine had me bouncing till dawn.

Delete. Again.

Hey, go easy on yourself.

They weren't supposed to want me.

Who wouldn't want you?

I was supposed to apply, get rejected, and then move on.

But now they wanna know who I am in a single picture.

But what if I don't know who I am? What if I never know?

Who you are isn't finite.

You'll be different a year from now, ten minutes from now.

So embrace who you are in this moment.

Let it rip.

He's here! Isaac's here!

Okay, Katie. Don't pull his arm off.

I brought some things. Maddie.

- Aw, thank you. - Katie.

It's beautiful.

Here we've got Kyle.

Ooh.

And... Cal.

Oh.

- Is this from the restaurant stock? - She invited me at lunch. I'll replace it.

Isaac, would you like to say grace?

I... I don't think I know how.

Would you mind if I do?

Thank you for this meal,

for this time,

and for this family.

Amen.

I think it looks okay, but you'll have to tell me.

Now I'm standing in the locker room with pants ripped all the way up the seat,

and keep in mind, this is an away game,

and the opposing team's fans are... are unforgiving.

So I

guess I'll have to save the thrilling conclusion

for another night.

When Ty's here, it's his job to carry Katie up to bed.

In his absence, I nominate Isaac.

What a dubious honor.

You don't have to.

I'm happy to.

Kyle, if you will lead the way.

Looks like Katie has another dragon to protect her.

♪ No more darkness ♪

You okay?

♪ I am bathed in light ♪

♪ I will never forget that evening ♪

That felt right, Cal.

Perfect end to the day.

And a perfect beginning.

Why are kids so much heavier when they're asleep?

Why do you think I nominated you?

While you were in Ohio, Kathy gave us Christmas gifts Dad bought.

We already unwrapped ours.

You can open yours now or wait.

Can I say that surprises from Bill make me nervous?

You are not alone.

Whoa.

What don't I understand? All I know are chef's knives.

It's a Townsend tradition.

Grandpa Tripp gave Dad a pocket knife when he became a man

because Grandpa's dad gave him one, and so on.

Ty and I got ours when we finished Scouts.

The knife is meant to cut through the hardship of adulthood.

The anchor signifies hope.

Steadfast and sure.

If he'd come home for Christmas,

Dad would've told you you're a man of the family now.

If you wanna be,

bro.

The response to the insurance workshop has been huge.

I think we may need to do two sessions.

Well, are you thinking both weekends or one weekend and one weekday evening?

Uh, good morning, Helen...

You two might wanna come with me.

It would be a shame if you missed seeing your children get arrested.

What?
