Previously on Chesapeake Shores...
We have an announcement.
We're having a boy.
Ah!
Look at us, we love each other.
Yeah.
You can make me an equity partner.
Keller and O'Brien,
or O'Brien and Keller?
You're moving in with me?
Took you long enough to figure that out.
You are the only one I trust.
I think he really was framed.
Okay, first, a smiling one.
Great, now a serious one.
Give me your best "litigation" face.
Perfect.
This will look great on the new website.
Thanks again for putting that together, Harper.
Oh, trust me, you needed it.
Your last website was...
functional,
but once I'm done with it, it'll shine.
Well, you gotta give me a little bit of credit.
I'm surprised that I remembered enough HTML from college
to actually get it to work.
I don't need college to know
that your CSS could use some work.
Just leave it to me.
Oof.
Oh, my heart.
She doesn't pull any punches.
What's a CSS?
Oh, Google it,
and besides,
you said the number one quality you wanted in an employee
was honesty.
Flattery's a close second.
You didn't have to put my name first.
Well, it's alphabetical.
I had no choice.
You had a choice.
We did it.
Yeah, we did.
Are we getting coffee or what?
Oh, there's my heart again.
Come on.
Oh, I cannot believe
you finished that entire stack of pancakes.
Yeah, well, when I set my mind to something,
I don't stop till it's done.
Mm-hmm.
I think you are one of three people
in Pancake Palace history
who has finished the entire pancake pile.
If I never smell syrup again, it will be too soon.
But tell me, was it worth it
to get your picture on the Glutton's Wall?
Absolutely.
Good.
Oh, hey, are you free this weekend?
I could be.
What are you thinking? Dinner?
'Cause it will take me that long to be hungry again.
Actually, um,
the firefighters are throwing Kevin and Sarah
a baby shower at the station,
and I was wondering if you wanted to be my plus one?
Yeah.
I'll have Mandrake pick out a gift.
Or you could pick out a gift yourself.
I suppose I could, yeah.
Just a small gift?
Depends. Your version of small, or ours?
Is an Ivy League tuition too much?
Yes. Yes, it is.
Ah.
Hey, it's my genetic test results.
- Ooh. - Okay.
Ha!
Amazing.
What?
Did you know I'm a night owl?
Yes.
Yeah, I mean, I did, too,
I just didn't know it was tied to my DNA.
It also says I'm more likely to get bit by mosquitos.
And here I thought it was because I'm so sweet.
Does your DNA say anything
about your adorable crooked smile?
Aw...
it doesn't, but thank you for noticing.
But now the real question--
am I related to William Wallace?
Mm-hmm.
Well, that's underwhelming.
I would've sworn Kincaid was Scottish.
That's not your ancestry map.
That's your relatives map.
It shows you where all your genetic cousins are.
Nope, can't be.
My mom was from Oregon and didn't have any siblings.
I don't have any cousins.
Well, maybe not on your mom's side,
but what about your dad?
♪ The miles are getting longer ♪

The flash drive again?
Mm-hmm.
The question I'm dealing with
is this enough evidence
to prove my father's innocent?
Well, does it clear his name?
It just about convinces me,
but these documents are circumstantial at best.
Well, it's a step in the right direction.
Did you call
your father's friend, Byron Stigers?
Yeah.
He thinks Dad's innocent,
but, you know, it's still going to require lawyers,
and I just don't know
if I want to drag us into that.
I don't know if he's worth it.
I don't think this is about Dennis Peck.
I think this is about you.
How do you mean?
My husband is the type of man
who would never let an innocent person go to jail
if he had any way to help them,
no matter who that person was.
When did you get so wise?
I woke up like this.
Okay.
I'll ask Connor what he thinks.
I mean, maybe we can fight this.
Do you want me to go with you?
I can call that 1812 Association and cancel this weekend.
No, it's too late,
and besides, we need the money.
I can't believe they booked the entire B&B.
We're going to be up to our ears in breeches and bonnets.
Bayonets and bicorns.
Bodices and bloomers!
Oh!
- Good morning. - Morning.
I don't know if I'll ever get used to that.
Honey, have you seen the, uh...
Oh, thank you, thank you.
So, how is it living together again?
Oh, it's going great.
It's been wonderful.
Mm-hmm.
Are they always like this?
Every morning.
ummmm
So, Miranda Livingston is coming to see me today.
What, an Oscar-winning actress
is coming to see you?
Hmmm!
Well played, Bree O'Brien.
Well, if she's going to make a movie out of my book,
she has to prove that she can do it right.
Well, I thought you were all in
after the family gave you approval.
Yeah, but is she the right person for it, you know?
Well, she certainly has the talent.
Have you seen "From L.A. to New York?"
I love that film.
Really?
Mick, that's was a rom-com.
Hey, I'm multifaceted.
I know.
Well, I tell you, I've worked with actors before,
and they are on their best behavior
until they get what they want,
and then they turn into total divas.
Then how are you going to know
that Miranda isn't just saying what you want to hear?
Don't you worry, Mom, I got a plan.
It's going to reveal her true nature.
Anyway, enough of that.
Uh, Sarah's baby shower, I don't have a gift.
Do you have any ideas?
Um, well, Kevin and Sarah do have a baby registry.
What?
Why didn't you tell me this before?
Because I wanted to get the best gift.
Give it.
- Give it! - No!
Come on!
Last night, I had a shooting pain.
Spasming near her right inguinal canal.
It lasted about half an hour.
26 minutes.
Thought it might be ligament pain?
I just want to make sure it's not something more serious.
Yeah, of course.
You said the pain was on the right side?
Yes.
Before it started,
did you make any sudden movements?
She stood up.
Well, I don't know if I'd consider that sudden.
Not to worry.
Your husband is correct,
those are all classic symptoms of round ligament pain,
which is perfectly normal in this stage of pregnancy.
Yes!
If it happens again,
it's okay to take a low dosage of acetaminophen for the pain.
- She did that already. - Yeah, I took the Tylenol.
Great.
Um, I can send you
some recommendations for stretches
to help relieve the spasming.
Thank you.
And, uh, where did you go to medical school?
Actually, I was a combat medic in Afghanistan.
And now he's an EMT.
Oh.
Actually, I was kidding,
but, uh, good for you.
You really know your stuff.
Thanks.
Yeah, he does,
and he's also had a lot of coffee today.
Ah.
Could I have a cup of fruit instead of the fries?
- Of course. - Thank you.
- For sure. - Thank you.
Look, I get it.
You pour your heart and soul into your work.
You don't want some stranger to come to town, destroy it,
and then show the mangled pieces to the masses.
Ah...
Like, have you seen The Last Airbender?
If you haven't, trust me, do not.
Or Bonfire of the Vanities?
Yes, or any of the versions of The Great Gatsby.
I mean, I never said that you were gonna mangle it.
But that is what you were thinking, isn't it?
Maybe, I don't know.
I would be.
That's why I want to get to know you,
your town, your family,
so I can prove to you
that I can really do justice to your work.
Okay.
About my family,
a lot of people think
that All Our Yesterdays is based on them,
but it's not, actually.
I mean, writers take bits and pieces
from everybody in their lives,
and put that into their characters,
but it's not a one-for-one comparison.
Of course.
Of course, and just like you take from those around you,
you write pieces of yourself
into each of your characters,
wouldn't you say?
Yeah. Yeah, that's accurate.
Here you go.
- Thank you. - Enjoy.
So, your main character, Kacie,
obviously has a lot of "Bree" in her,
even if it isn't 100%,
and so if I want to portray Kacie faithfully,
it would only help me to get to know you better.
For sure, I agree, um,
did you not order a cup of fruit with your meal?
Yup.
Oh.
Well, let me flag down the waitress.
- We can fix this-- - Oh, no, no, no, no.
Don't bother, she's busy.
That lady over there looks like a handful.
Hmm.
Okay.
Perfect,
then I believe we are in agreement.
We are.
Now I just have to present these new additions
to the board.
Lucky for me...
Ah, I see I do not have a fear of public speaking,
so it should be a breeze.
Though it does say
I get annoyed by the sound of chewing.
Misophonia.
How do they know?
Evan--
Also, thank goodness, I don't have that gene
that makes cilantro taste like soap.
I love cilantro.
No, it tastes like soap.
Hmm.
Look, I'm really glad
that your DNA test has been so enlightening,
but don't you think it's revealed something else?
That I should have perfect pitch,
yet I can't carry a tune?
Yeah, do I feel cheated? You bet I do.
No.
Your cousins.
What are you going to do about them?
- Nothing. - Nothing?
Nothing. They're strangers.
- Well, I just thought that-- - Abby--
Ooh, shoot, Mandrake has the car outside.
I'm going to be late for my next meeting, I'm sorry.
Your phone didn't ping.
It's, um, on vibrate.
I'll see you later tonight, okay?
Here you are.
Oh, no, no, no, no,
Oh, no, don't worry about it.
It's on me.
No, no, no, I insist.
Wanna arm wrestle for it?
No...
Let's at least go 50-50.
How about you get the next one?
Okay, thank you.
Thanks so much.
Thank you.
So, what's the verdict?
Have I bought myself a little more time,
or should I hop on the next plane out of town?
No, I'm not gonna chase you out of town,
but, um...
I do think I need a little more time with it.
Wonderful.
While you ponder,
I would love to talk to your family.
Would that be okay?
Yeah, I mean, it's up to them,
but I don't see a problem with it.
Excellent.
Thank you so much, Bree.
You're so welcome.
I will be in touch.
Okay.
Hey.
Thanks again for messing up her order.
It didn't seem to upset her at all.
I know, tell me about it.
Look how much she tipped me.
What a nice lady.
That is nice.
Uh-huh.
Huh.
I had no idea
this much went into war re-enactments.
Right?
And the War of 1812 of all things,
not even the Civil War?
Even the Revolutionary War re-enactors
make fun of these guys.
Be nice. They're our guests.
What did you make?
Artisanal hardtack.
This is garlic parmesan,
we got rosemary lemon,
and cinnamon sugar.
And this something
that the soldiers would eat on the battlefield?
Not technically.
I know we were supposed to make historically-accurate food,
but have you tried hardtack?
It's inedible.
I don't do inedible.
No, you don't.
Isn't it nice having something you're good at.
You're good at things.
Name one.
Um...
kissing.
See?
You could write a book.
Yeah, I am pretty good at that.
What?
What's wrong?
What's right?
The bank doesn't like my vineyard idea,
the B&B is barely squeaking by.
What if we go out of business?
Jess O'Brien,
you are the most capable person I have ever met,
and the B&B is not going out of business,
because it's yours,
and if there's one thing I know about you,
it's that you know how to make things work.
No, no, no!
That stays outside.
See?
Mm! That's good.
Hello!
- Hi! - You're home early.
Well, unfortunately, not for long.
I've just got to pick up some blueprints.
Sorry, I'm still in the middle of cooking.
I was gonna close them when I'm done.
Oh, I know that, I was just going to--
Does it bother you?
No, why should it?
Because it used to bother you.
Did it?
Oh, yeah.
You used to slam the cupboards when I left them open.
I did,
but I just closed these, so that's...
Progress?
Progress. Yes.
- Carry on. - Thank you.
All right, everybody, that's it for today.
but keep that creativity flowing over the weekend,
and I'll see you on Monday.
That was so informative.
These kids are lucky to have you.
Oh, no, no, I'm lucky to have them.
Your passion shines through,
but, if it's not too presumptuous,
could I...
give you some pointers on your performance?
My performance?
Your presentation.
Public speaking.
It's something I had to learn the hard way.
For example,
when you get excited about something,
you tend to move your hands a lot and gesture.
It's very "wax on, wax off."
Oh.
Okay, um, I hadn't noticed.
It's subconscious.
Also,
when you get asked a question you weren't expecting,
you tend to use a lot of verbal fillers,
a lot of "ums" and "likes".
It makes you seem nervous,
even though you know what you're talking about.
Um, I...
I see what you mean.
Oh, I hope I didn't make you feel uncomfortable.
It's something I'd want pointed out
if I was doing it.
You can go from great to phenomenal!
Well, thank you so much.
I'll, um, I'll keep it in mind.
Is that better?
Mm, now you look a little closed off.
Just relax.
Oh.
Hmm.
I think I could use a hobby.
I've been feeling a bit anxious.
Hmm, why do think that is?
I don't really know,
I just get that way occasionally.
Antsy.
Uneasy.
It'll pass eventually.
And you think a hobby would help?
It did when I was a kid.
You had one then?
Yeah, but...
What? What was it?
Magic.
What?
Magic.
Sleight of hand.
Card tricks. Legerdemain.
- Laugh it up, laugh it up. - Are you serious?
Yeah, I'm serious.
I would spend hours every single day
practicing with a deck of cards in my room.
I thought it would help me get girls.
Oh, and did it?
Of course not. No.
You know, there are other ways to deal with anxiety.
Like finding the root cause and addressing it?
Yes.
That does not work for me.
Give me distraction every time.
How long have you been feeling this way?
Does it happen to be since you found out
that you had cousins you didn't know about?
Why would that make me anxious?
Oh, I don't know.
It would make me anxious.
I would want to know more about them.
Ah, see, that is where you and I differ.
I am content to let sleeping dogs lie.
Always have been more of a cat person.
You know you use humor as a defense mechanism.
You really should try improv.
Yeah, tried that after magic.
Surprisingly, did not work any better.
- Stand up? - Too afraid.
Clowning.
There you go--
that's my next venture-- clowning.
Clowning.
If you were having a baby,
what would you like for a present?
Ooh, that's a lot to unpack in that question.
Right. Context, um...
it's Kevin and Sarah's baby shower tomorrow,
and I still haven't figured out what to get them.
Also, would you like to come to it with me?
Um, that depends.
Will Miranda be there, observing?
Uh...
God, I hope not.
Why not?
I thought you liked her.
I did. I do.
I... you know...
That was before she came to my class and observed,
and kind of...
said some rude things afterwards.
- Oh, really? - Yeah.
Like what?
Like, I use "like" too much in sentences.
Like I just did.
And that my hand gestures are distracting.
Hey, look, I'm sorry if that hurt you,
but are you sure she was being rude?
I mean, it sounds like she was just trying to help.
Or she was trying to get into my head
and make me self-conscious.
Why would she do that?
Oh, it's an old negotiation technique.
It's called "negging".
She's smart, that one.
Hmm. Could be,
or it could be constructive criticism.
Just like you do with your students.
Maybe.
Look, I can come to the baby shower for a bit.
I just have to drive to Frederick County.
Oh, what's in Frederick County?
Somebody I have to visit.
My parents' graves.
It's my mom's birthday.
It's something I do.
Oh.
Um, well, do you want company?
I can come with you.
That means so much,
but I...
I just feel like I need some time for myself, you know?
Yeah.
Yeah, no, I understand.
Of course.
So I would need to take this to the FBI, right?
Or would an attorney want to hold it back,
so the prosecution can't come up with a rebuttal?
You definitely need to present this to the FBI
as soon as possible.
You don't want to risk
being accused of concealing evidence.
Plus, this is evidence in your father's favor.
Best-case scenario,
he doesn't even need to go to court.
You think so?
It's possible.
This might be enough to absolve him.
And if not, it's an ace up any good attorney's sleeve.
I mean, your father has a good attorney, right?
A court-appointed attorney.
What?
How is that possible? He's a Peck.
Our family attorney won't take my calls.
It seems being a Peck isn't what it used to be.
All the licenses and safety measures are in place
for the black powder demonstration, yes?
Correct.
The cannon will only be fired once at 5:00 p.m.,
and-- oh,
if I've told him once, I've told him a thousand times.
Who?
Richard.
The guy playing General Robert Ross.
He's such a Farb.
I'm sorry, what?
He's Far Below Standard.
He doesn't put any effort into his attire.
You can see jeans under his jacket,
for goodness sake.
We take a lot of pride
in making this look as authentic as possible.
Most of what you see is hand-stitched
for historical accuracy.
That's impressive.
When you put that much hard work
and passion into something,
and someone doesn't take it seriously?
I think I know exactly what that feels like.
Hmm.
Excuse me.
Richard!
Okay...
I don't even know where to begin!
Look at you!
Jess, hi!
Um...
Okay, yeah.
No, uh, just wanted to swing by to tell you
that Miranda Livingston is staying in town
for a few more days,
and she might pop by here to talk to you
to, you know, do research, whatever,
but you don't have to agree if you don't want to.
Oh, well, why wouldn't I want to talk to her?
Uh...
I don't know, I, um...
She is actually really nice.
You know, she just has something about her, you know?
She has a way of like...
looking right through you,
and it just makes you feel kind of...
exposed and vulnerable.
Well, I certainly don't need any help with that.
With all these bank rejections
I'm pretty full up on vulnerability.
Oh, Jess.
Don't test me!
I just...
I built this business from the ground up,
all by myself.
Yeah,
and you're doing an amazing job.
I'm just, I'm afraid it'll all come up to nothing.
I just want to build something that lasts,
something of quality,
like a hand-stitched costume...
or a hand-crafted bottle of wine.
I don't want to be a Farb.
A Farb?
You wouldn't understand.
It's an 1812 thing.
Ah.
Now, you remember your card?
Don't tell me.
Was it this one?
No.
Really? Oh, okay.
Well... little rusty,
I haven't done this one in a while,
but you did put your name on it and everything,
yeah, okay.
Was it this one?
No?
Okay, well then,
was it--
boom, this one?
No.
Are you serious? Okay, what was your card?
Ace of Hearts.
Ace of Hearts?
Oh, you mean like that Ace of Hearts?
Whoa!
It has my name on it and everything.
How did you do that?
A magician never tells.
Here, I'll show you another one.
Wow, he's actually pretty good at this.
Yes, when he puts his mind to it,
Evan can master anything.
How have you been, Mandrake?
Well, I can't complain,
and thank you for asking, Abby.
How is your family?
I hope Connor continues to recover.
Yes, with his diet and exercise,
he's actually healthier than ever.
That's wonderful news,
and how about your father?
He's... he's strong.
He's doing much better.
You must be very proud of them.
Well, if there's one thing the O'Briens are, it is tough.
Hmm.
You should be proud of yourself, too, Abby.
You are the glue that holds this family together.
I don't know about that, but, uh...
Mandrake...
do you know why Evan doesn't want to meet his cousins?
He's always talking about
how he's never really had a family,
and now he has a chance to find them...
I just don't get it.
Whoa!
Evan's been on his own for a very long time.
He's used to depending on himself,
so when people get close to him, it can scare him,
and what's closer than family?
So, yes, it does attract him,
but it also makes him feel vulnerable, too.
- Hey, Bree. - Yeah, hi.
Find anything?
No, not yet.
Where's Connor?
Ah, he's swamped at work.
Sent me as his proxy.
That sounds like Connor.
He knows his limitations.
Perfect!
I think this is the bassinet on Sarah's list!
Yeah, your mom already got that for her.
Okay...
So, sending you to buy a gift
for his sister-in-law's baby shower,
that is a whole new level of--
Intimacy?
You said it, I did not.
How are things going?
With the law firm?
With Connor.
Things are going very quickly,
and very well.
I mean, I've never met anyone like him.
Oh, no, he's one of a kind.
I have some stories for you from when he was a kid.
Did he used to eat paste?
Yeah, on good days, he ate paste.
Okay.
I'm really glad he found you.
You are just what he needs.
How about this?
Uh, Jess already got that,
and that was the last item on their list.
So now what?
I got it.
A diaper service.
I'll sign them up for a diaper service.
Yeah, I was hoping to get them something
a little cooler than diapers.
Oh, trust me, diapers are cool.
Okay, well,
I have until tomorrow to figure something out
that is not on the list, so...
Well, you're a writer.
You must have a muse or two.
I'm sure they'll inspire you before tomorrow.
Inspire, huh?
Hey there.
Hey.
How's it going?
Good.
So, did you look at that flash drive?
Yes, and thank you for making us aware of it.
And?
You know I can't disclose information
about an ongoing investigation.
I understand that,
and I'm not looking for details on the case.
I just want to know if this is still going to trial,
because I think this proves
that my father is innocent, right?
Those documents certainly brought us some new leads,
and we will follow those leads
to see if there's any credibility to them.
I think they are credible.
Don't you think that maybe it's also possible
that it's a last-ditch effort at manipulation by your father?
Did you talk to Byron Stigers?
Yeah.
He's helping with the investigation.
So then why are you here?
Honestly, I just wanted to say
I hope your father can find a good lawyer,
because he will be charged soon,
and the trial will be going ahead as planned.
Thanks for meeting with me, Mr. Stigers.
I've known your family a long time.
Call me Byron.
Byron.
I appreciate it.
So, Eric Clayton,
my father's attorney for years,
he washed his hands of the whole business.
He doesn't want to be associated with the Peck name anymore.
Well, it's at times like this
you find out who your real friends are.
Yeah.
You've talked with the FBI?
Yes.
Agent Malik.
Every time I try to tell her that I believe Dennis,
she just clucks at me,
and says, "That's what I thought you'd say."
Yeah, she does that with me, too.
My father said that you may know who framed him.
Oh, I wish I did.
But you think he's innocent?
I know he is.
I wish I could be so sure.
A man needs his family to stand by him.
But what am I supposed to do?
Find him a good lawyer.
I tried that.
Nobody will take the case, nobody.
Well then, just tell him that you believe him.
Maybe that will help him get through all of this.
Yeah, perfect fit.
Right away.
Come on, Caitlyn!
Yeah!
She did it!
This is great, huh?
Yeah, who knew firemen
could make such good tea sandwiches?
Who knew, right?
Do you have to go?
I do, yes.
Okay.
All right, well, drive safe.
- I will. - Okay.
Bye.
Thank you so much.
See ya!
Number one diaper do-er.
Good job.
Okay, guys, open 'er up.
All right.
Oh.
Oh, these are great.
Yeah, I picked titles
that remind me the most of you guys,
and maybe I was hoping
that a little of Aunt Bree would rub off on him,
so he would share my love of storytelling.
Thanks, Bree.
You're welcome.
Hey, you two, can I steal you for some photos?
Yeah.
Okay, see you.
Hey!
I hear Miranda Livingston is in town to option your book?
Yeah.
Congratulations.
Well, thank you.
I mean, it's not official yet.
I still have to... you know, decide, so...
but I think I am starting to trust her a little more
with my story.
She seems all right,
you know, for a Hollywood actress.
Well, I did a charity event with her.
I think she's one of the good ones.
- Really? - Yeah.
We played against each other on Celebrity Jeopardy.
Unfortunately,
I bet a True Daily Double
- on Opera. - Ooh.
I don't really know what I was thinking.
So she beat you?
No, no,
we both lost to Neil Patrick Harris.
He's a monster.
But Miranda's pretty cool.
You should trust your instincts.
Okay, well,
my instincts are kind of all over the place, you know?
It's just hard to let a stranger
get such a personal inside look into your life, you know?
I mean, your family?
I know what you mean.
Yes, the artist has agreed. I spoke with them on Thursday.
No, I haven't followed up since then.
Kenneth, I negotiated
this collection for the folk art exhibit,
and I will solidify all the details
when I get back to L.A.
Yeah, it can wait.
Right now, I am in Maryland with my family,
and I plan on enjoying my time with them.
Gotcha.
Oh!
Thank you again for being such a wonderful host.
Your B&B is truly beautiful.
Thank you, it's been a pleasure having you here.
I hope the battle went well?
We defeated the British,
and changed the course of history,
so that was fun.
I would love to have more events here in the future,
especially if I can book the entire space again?
Of course.
We're happy to have your business.
- Take care. - You too. Bye.
- Hey. - Hey.
I don't know who to reach out to anymore.
I've called all the attorneys on the list that Connor gave me,
and nobody wants to take my father's case.
Okay. We'll figure something out.
Stigers agrees with me,
but if I don't find a good lawyer,
it doesn't matter what the evidence is
in my father's favor,
a jury is gonna convict him.
We will find someone.
It's not just you.
Together, we can do anything.
Can we?
Yeah,
and knowing us,
it will be an idea that is as unique
and out-of-the-box as we are.
Okay, smart guy, well, you know what?
We're about to find out.
Hey, help us settle something.
Do you ever see whales in Chesapeake Bay?
Uh, yeah, from time to time.
They're beautiful.
Yes, they must be, Abby.
Next coffee's on me, Mandrake.
I take a flat white, sir.
I remember.
It's mornings like this you can really pause and think.
I've been thinking a lot lately.
You have?
About what?
About my mom.
Sir, if you would like a private moment--
No, stay.
As you know, I was raised by a single parent.
Mom-- Molly--
came from Oregon.
I never knew why she fell out with her parents,
but I never met them.
I doubt they're still living.
When she was 18,
she moved to Florida,
and not many years after that,
I came along,
and that's how it always was,
it was just me and her.
You know, when I was a teenager,
I started asking about my dad.
She was always vague,
and her story would change.
He was a solider, or a sailor, or a pilot
who had died in the war.
Never did specify which war.
Eventually, I learned to stop asking.
It never went anywhere,
and it only made her sad or upset,
and besides,
I think I knew the truth.
He just left her.
Now it's this Pandora's box,
and I don't know if I should open it.
Evan...
I'm so sorry
for putting so much pressure on you about this.
Advice, Mandrake?
You put it eloquently, sir,
but Pandora also found hope at the bottom of her box...
and I think it's time you opened yours.
All right, Mandrake,
I'm sending you to Florida.
You are?
Yeah.
I want you to look into my cousins.
Don't say why,
don't say who sent you.
Just...
look to see what kind of people they are.
If they're rodeo clowns, I don't want to know.
Actually, scratch that.
If they're rodeo clowns, I definitely want to know.
Yes, sir.
Thanks for helping me practice.
I've been obsessed
since that pedicure at the spa with your sisters.
I'm glad you had such a great time with them.
Yeah.
With only brothers growing up,
it's just something I never really got to do.
I never knew what I was missing out on.
The spa?
Sisters.
Hey, um, listen,
there's something I've been thinking about
that I want to discuss with you.
Uh-oh.
Sounds serious.
Should I get the angry red nail polish?
No, it's not like that.
I think I want to go back to medical school.
I want to be a doctor.
It's... uhhh..I mean there's just...
♪ I'm in for the long run
♪ Don't ever wanna be done

- Hey. - David?
I need your help.
Would you take my father's case?
Come on in.
So how are you holding up with Mandrake gone?
Has the Kincaid Group ground to a halt?
Mandrake is not essential
to the running of my company or my life.
Ah.
You know your socks don't match.
It's the new style.
Ah, there you are, sir.
Mandrake, you're back early.
What did you find?
It's not what I found, sir, rather who.
Sir, this is your father.
Hi.
Hey.
Do what I say!
Give me all the money in the register now!
I-I-I will, uh...
please, please don't shoot.
Don't tell me what to do!
Put the money in a bag! Do it!
I said, now!
No, I'm-I'm trying!
I'm-I'm-I'm trying!
Please!
Now open the safe!
I...
Open the safe!
I can't!
I-I don't know the combination.
Open it.
Hey, stop.
Look, you got the money. Just go.
Who asked you?
You have the money.
Go.
Back up. Back up now!
She can't open it.
It's a time-delay safe.
Check out the sign.
Run!
Help!
Someone help!
