Previously, on Chesapeake Shores...
Sir, this is your father.
I think I want to go back to medical school.
I want to be a doctor.
I am in Maryland with my family,
and I plan on enjoying my time with them.
- This is Sloan. - I'm Caitlin's BFF.
- Really? - Sure.
I want to get to know you,
so I can prove to you
that I can really do justice to your work.
I hope your father can find a good lawyer,
because he will be charged soon.
- We did it. - Yeah, we did.
- Hey. - David.
Would you take my father's case?
Give me all the money in the register now!
[grunts]
- [woman] No! - [gunshot echoes]
[♪]
Well, this is a little awkward.
Yes, it is.
Did you want to come have a seat?
If I'm not imposing.
Uh, no, not at all.
[♪]
Uh, can I get you anything to drink?
Just water?
- I'll get that, Abby. - Thank you.
Well, Evan, I, uh...
I don't know quite what to say.
That makes two of us.
I'm John Osterberg.
Pleased to meet you.
I'm gonna help Mandrake with that water.
Uh, won't you sit down, please?
Thank you.
I'm Abby O'Brien.
Nice to meet you, Abby.
You too.
You must've had a long trip. Where are you from?
Sarasota, Florida.
Oh, I've never been there.
Yeah, it's a nice place.
I just retired there.
I used to be a pediatric surgeon.
Wow.
That must have been very rewarding.
Yeah, it was.
Uh, you'll have to excuse Evan.
I think this has all just been a bit of a surprise for him.
Ah, I can understand that.
It was for me, too.
But the drive up from Florida
gave me time to wrap my mind around it,
that...
I have a son.
You didn't know?
I had no idea.
[gasps] Oh.
Excuse me.
Thank you.
Mandrake, where's Evan?
I thought he was out here with you.
[sighs]

A very fine choice.
Really?
- Mm-hmm. - It is beautiful.
She'll love it.
[♪]
Ah, what you got there?
[grunts]
what do you think?
Nice ring. Who's it for?
Megan.
Your ex-wife?
Soon-to-be wife, I hope.
Ah.
I'm proposing to her tonight.
Wow.
Now, I know what you're gonna say--
What am I gonna say?
That it's recommended
we don't get into a new relationship
for the first year of recovery.
That's right.
But it's not-- not really somebody new, is it?
I mean, we've had five children together,
and we've known each other for over 30 years.
True. You know,
but marriage-- - Just tell me
if I have to start my days over again,
or are you just gonna kick me out of the program altogether?
You do what you think is best.
I think this is best.
All right. Just pay attention
to what the world is telling you.
What does that mean?
Just what it means. Pay attention.
You mean, look for a sign?
Like a rainbow or a bolt of lightning?
I just mean your life may be complicated enough
without bringing somebody else into it.
My life is gonna be better with Megan in it.
All right, then.
Congrats.
Thank you.
[Ralph chuckles]
[birds chirping]
You got something on your mind?
No. Why do you say that?
You're planting the geraniums upside-down.
Oh.
You thinking about your dad?
Yeah.
I'm thinking about what will happen to him
if Connor doesn't take his case.
And I'm thinking about what will happen to him
if Connor does take his case.
You can't worry so much.
Sure I can. Watch me.
[feigns sobbing]
[laughs] I'm serious.
I care about you. I care about us.
You're closing yourself off.
You're right.
Sorry.
Don't be sorry.
Just don't get so caught up in worry
that you think that you're alone,
because you're not.
Thanks.
[♪]
Hi! I just made some coffee. Sorry about the mess.
Oops! Am I... interrupting?
No, no.
Don't say I'm not if I am.
You are, kind of.
- [laughing] - See? Honesty.
Very freeing.
It must be strange
to have your home open to the public like this.
Hard to have privacy.
You get used to it.
Still. I'll leave you to it.
You have your worries.
- Not really. - Yes, we do.
What are your worries?
Let it out. It helps.
Does it?
Ah-- [laughs] um...
well, I'm-- I'm thinking about how I'm gonna start my vineyard.
Yes! I love the vineyard idea.
You have to tell me more about that.
But you must be so stressed about your father.
I can't imagine.
I really don't want to talk about that. Thanks.
I can totally understand why.
It is very personal.
Can I give you some advice?
I don't see how I could stop you.
[giggles] That's very funny.
But seriously--
"what you focus on grows,"
much like... well, your garden here.
So you need to stop growing your troubles
and start growing your relationship.
You see what I did there?
Mm-hmm.
Of course, I can never take my own advice,
which is why I'm alone.
Which sucks.
[grunts]
Oh! Ahem.
Wow, I really cannot make coffee. Ugh!
- [splash] - [David balks]
Hello.
Uh...
how's business?
Oh, we're sold out this week.
Huh. Doesn't look it.
Oh. That's me.
I rented the entire place out for the week.
I value privacy.
[dryly] She does.
Oh. Um...
can we talk about the movie for a minute?
Of course. Wanna go inside?
Sure.
[deep breath]
You know...
I-I hate to admit it, but she's right.
We really gotta stop focusing so much on our problems.
That's right.
I know life has been rough,
but you can't forget about
the most important person in your life.
I know, I know. Myself.
No! Me! Me.
Oh, right. How could I forget?
- You know what we should do? - Mm?
We should go on a date.
Just us.
No phones. No Internet.
No way that anyone can contact us for a few hours.
That would be so great.
Let's do it.
- Today? - Yeah!
Why not?
Miranda is the only one here, and she won't mind.
It was her idea.
We could take a boat out to one of islands.
Ah. Wonderful!
I'll make a picnic!
No! No. No cooking. You just relax.
I'll go to Sally's and pick something up.
You get the boat ready.
Okay. This is gonna be wonderful.
[smooch]
[♪]
So what do you think?
So, you're saying
you'll only give me your book
if you can write the screenplay?
- That's right. - Okay.
I will give you an option on a first draft.
No.
I write the screenplay. Nobody else.
Nobody else?
Nobody else.
You know... writing a screenplay is very different
than writing a novel, or even a play.
It's a whole 'nother form of storytelling.
It's weaving together little pieces of time
into a visual tapestry.
It's hard.
I can learn.
And what if you can't?
Then we don't make the movie.
Look, uh...
nobody knows this story better than me.
It's my life.
So, that's the deal.
Let me think about it.
Of course. Yeah.
And, you know, there are no hard feelings if you--
Okay, I've thought about it. I'll do it.
You will?
You're the only woman for the job!
Do we have a deal?
Yeah, we have a deal.
[chuckle]
Ah!
Here are the pros and cons for taking the Dennis Peck case.
As you can see,
the cons are--
There's a lot of them.
[sighs] I know that.
The highlights are--
it'd be very much beyond the scope of our abilities,
it would be tremendously expensive,
and it could be a very, very public failure.
If we fail.
True.
We could succeed.
The Earth could also stop spinning on its axis,
and gravity could cease to exist, but...
I wouldn't count on it.
In the "pro" column, we have--
the defendant is related, by marriage, to your family,
which is also, by the way...
in the "con" column.
[sighs]
Look, I hear what you're saying, okay?
I do.
O'Brien...
I know you want to help your sister and her husband...
But we are not equipped to handle a case like this.
We can't win.
I know that.
But what if we did win?
[♪]
I'm sure Evan will be back soon.
His car is still here. He can't have gone far.
He just doesn't want to see me.
I can understand that.
Do you remember her? Evan's mom?
Molly Kincaid?
Yes. She's not the sort of person
you're likely to forget.
Would you mind telling me about her?
Sure.
Uh, I was home from med school,
and she was working as a waitress
at the C&E Diner.
I used to hang out there a lot,
and...
we dated for the summer.
It was nice.
Why'd you break up?
We didn't, really.
I had to go start my residency
at Children's Hospital in New Orleans and...
I wanted to stay in touch, but...
...life happened.
And then I got a serious girlfriend,
and I'm afraid I...
just stopped calling.
So my mom wasn't "serious girlfriend" material?
I didn't mean that.
But you didn't love her?
[sighs]
I was very young.
So was she.
Molly never, ever told me that she was pregnant.
And you just...
you just, like, stopped calling her?
You stopped asking about her?
I'm afraid I did.
Yeah
Until yesterday...
when you found out you had a rich son,
then you decided you wanted to meet me?
Are you rich?
Like you haven't heard of Evan Kincaid?
Well, I don't follow the news much,
and I certainly don't need money.
Uh, this has been very nice, but I think I should be going.
Can you just wait one second?
I really think it's for the best.
[Abby] Please.
Evan, come.
What?
Why are you being so rude?
Rude? To him?
All Abby is suggesting, sir,
is you give Mr. Osterberg a chance.
Why would you bring him here?
You sent me to Florida
to find out about your family, sir.
Yes, to find out about them, not to bring the guy here.
That man is in the other room and he can hear you.
Oh, I am so sorry.
Are we worried about offending
the guy who abandoned my pregnant mother
and left her to raise a child on her own?
What were you thinking?
I did what I thought was best for you, sir.
Uh-huh.
You always think you know what's best for me, don't you?
Well, this time, you were wrong, Alan.
[door slams]
[Abby sighs]
Hi, Dad.
Hello, Bree O'Brien!
Hey!
Do you want to talk to me about something?
I do.
Uh...
I'm, um...
I'm gonna ask your mother to marry me.
Again.
Wow!
Good wow?
Yeah. Good wow.
How do you think the family will react?
I think they'll be happy.
All of them?
Yeah, all of them.
We've kind of been waiting for it to happen.
- Really? - Yeah!
Huh.
We may or may not have a small pool going,
and, um, if you ask this month, I win.
I think you're gonna win.
Oh! Yes.
[laughing]
I'm very happy for you, Mick O'Brien.
- [phone ringing] - Thank you. Thank you, honey.
[ringing]
It's the State Police.
- What? - Hello?
Yes, this is he.
Yes, I know him. He works for me.
What? Okay. Okay.
We're on our way.
Come on.
What happened?
It's Luke. He's in the hospital in Frederick County.
Was he in an accident?
He's been shot.
He's been what?
[Kevin] Okay.
Check this out.
What is it?
Our lives-- charted and completely worked out.
Now, this is if we have two kids.
This is if we have three.
This is how much it'll cost if they go to private school,
and this is if they go public-- which I'd prefer.
Now, here's college for all of them...
and this is if I stay on as an EMT.
But, on the other hand, if I become a doctor,
things really get interesting--
- Kevin. - [snap]
Don't you want to see the next chart?
It's where our retirement funds kick in.
With careful management,
we could save enough for grandkids.
Why don't we just... see what happens?
Or we can do that.
You're wonderful, but...
I am not thinking about anything past
getting this baby out of me and into the world.
No. You're right.
"Sufficient unto the day."
But if we both consider long-term disability insurance
and we make out wills-- aww!
[♪]
Hey!
Sloan Russell, right? Caitlyn's friend?
That's right, Mrs. Peck. How are you?
I'm fine. You're very polite.
Uh, shouldn't you be in school?
It's lunchtime. We're allowed to go off-campus.
Oh.
Okay.
[♪]
Caitlyn?
Honey, what's wrong?
Nothing.
You have blue hair.
No, it looks good.
Um...
does your mom know that you did this?
No.
Did you do this on account of Sloan?
Sloan says it looks dumb.
Tch. Oh...
well, what do you care what Sloan thinks?
I have to get back to school.
Okay. I'll drive you.
Okay.
The hat is cute.
[knocking]
Hey, Luke.
[heart monitor beeping]
Oh, a visit from my parole officer.
Just when I thought today couldn't get any better.
[chuckles]
They patching you up good?
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
Bullet hit my chest, bounced off my ribs,
and lodged underneath my arm.
They say I was very lucky.
You know, an inch either way...
Well, that is lucky.
You know you were outside of your parole zone
when you got shot.
I was visiting my parents' graves.
Still. You should have informed me.
[sighs]
You gonna take me in?
I could.
Cops told me what you did at the store.
That was very brave.
It's also very stupid.
Well, yeah, that's me...
brave and stupid.
Well, I'm gonna let this infraction slide this time.
You did a good thing, Luke.
Are you praising me?
Just this once.
Take care.
He's okay.
Luke.
Hey.
Hey. How are you doing?
Ah, okay. Considering.
Yeah.
I might have to take a few days off work.
Don't worry about it. You take as long as you need.
The Bridge will still be there when you get back.
Ah, thanks, Mick.
I'll leave you two alone.
Mm.
Um, I got you this...
...from the gift shop.
A cactus?
To go along with my other cactuses.
Mm.
I was gonna get you a balloon, too,
but then I thought, nah, you know,
cactuses and balloons-- that's a bad combo.
Ha! Oh... oh...
I'm sorry. Oh, I'm sorry, sorry, sorry.
[exhales]
Police told us what you did.
Yep.
You could've been killed, Luke.
Well, it seemed like
the right thing to do at the time.
Yeah, it was brave,
but...
[sighs]
Yeah.
The nurse said you got really lucky.
That's me.
"Mr. Lucky."
I get shot.
Almost get sent back to prison.
And that was just in the last couple days.
You ought to find some...
better.
Someone...
who isn't so "lucky".
[purse hits floor]
Luke.
You didn't get sent back to prison.
You have friends who love you.
And you didn't die.
I'll take that kind of luck any day.
[♪]
[phone chimes]
Oh. That's my cab.
I'm sure Evan will see you tomorrow.
Oh, I'm not so sure,
but I'm staying at the Chesapeake Inn,
if he wants to drop by.
And I think I might hang out for a few more days.
I like it here.
And even at my age,
I still like to discover new things.
Like father, like son.
[chuckles]
Thanks, Abby.
[line rings]
[Evan] Hello!
Evan Kincaid will be right back after your message.
[beep]
Um, Evan, it's Abby calling again.
Why aren't you answering your phone?
You always answer your phone.
Um... your...
John Osterberg
is heading to his hotel and...
I just think that you should at least talk to him.
Or talk to me. Talk to somebody.
Okay. Bye.
Hey...
Hey.
Who was that?
Oh... [dry chuckle]
That was Evan's father.
I thought Evan's father was dead.
Yeah, so did Evan. He's not taking it well.
No. He'll come around.
Um...
Luke Tatum was shot.
What?
He tried to stop a robbery at a convenience store.
- He's gonna be okay, but, um-- - Oh, my gosh.
- ...He's very lucky. - Wow.
- [footsteps] - Abby?
Dad. Gotta sec?
I'll be quick.
I'm going on a picnic with David,
but I just ran into Caitlyn downtown.
What?
Caitlyn's supposed to be in school.
She was crying.
- Crying? - And she had blue hair.
- Blue hair? - Why was she crying?
She wouldn't even tell me.
Okay, so where is she now?
I took her back to school.
Well, at least things can't get any worse.
- [phone rings] - Oh... don't say that.
- [ringing] - It's Caitlyn's school.
[deep breath]
Hello. Uh--
I will be right there. Thank you.
What is it?
Caitlyn has been suspended.
For fighting.
[♪]
Unfortunately, there was an incident in the parking lot.
"An incident"?
What sort of an incident?
Tell us what happened.
My Sloan wouldn't do anything wrong.
As you know, we have a zero-tolerance policy
for violence here at Chesapeake Shores Middle School.
Violence?
Just tell us what happened.
We found Caitlyn and Sloan here
involved in an altercation.
An altercation?
Was it a fight? Were they in a fight?
I would call it that.
Well, why don't you?
What happened?
Caitlyn here was striking Sloan.
Oh!
I told you she was a bad influence.
Caitlyn is not a--
[takes a breath]
There must be some mistake.
Unfortunately not.
It took several of us to pull Caitlyn off of Sloan.
It was quite an effort.
My poor baby!
Not now, Mom!
[Abby] Caitlyn, Sloan is your best friend.
Why would you do that?
She wouldn't have done it without a reason.
What are you saying?
That's right. Blame the victim.
Victim? [scoffs]
It was a school-yard scuffle.
We used to have 'em all the time!
Well! I can see where she got it from.
We have no alternative
but to suspend both children until the end of the week.
Both?
Why are you suspending Sloan?
She did nothing wrong. You should expel her!
It's their first infraction.
We think a suspension is appropriate.
Fine. Can we go now?
First, apologize to each other.
[sighing]
I'm sorry I hit you, Sloan.
That's fine, Cat.
I'm sorry I made fun of your hair.
[♪]
Here we are.
Yep, here we are.
No phones.
Nope. No way for anyone to bother us.
No banks.
No lawyers.
No bad news.
Or good news.
Oh, good news? What's that?
I heard it could happen.
Let's just take a deep breath and relax.
'Kay.
[breathing deeply]
[exhaling together]
Do you feel relaxed?
Nope. Not at all.
Yeah, me neither.
Well, let's eat.
We could act relaxed.
See if that does anything.
Okay.
[munching]
What do relaxed people do?
I don't know!
[laughing]
Like, lie down?
[exhales deeply]
Look at the clouds?
What does that one remind you of?
The bank rejecting my pitch.
That one looks like my dad going to prison.
Dumb clouds.
You know, when I found out that my dad stole my trust fund,
I felt so betrayed.
I know.
But I also felt kinda relieved.
Like I was free.
Like the last thing tying me to that life was gone.
I wasn't even a Peck anymore.
I was on my own.
- Yeah? - Yeah.
I mean...
it was scary as hell, but...
I was independent.
Just you and me against the world.
Yup.
[laughing]
Your hair looks really pretty.
Thank you.
I washed it.
- For me? - Mm-hmm.
I like those little green flecks in your eyes.
Thank you.
[♪]
I'm glad we left our phones at home.
Yeah. It's not like anything's gonna happen
in the next couple of hours.
Except whatever happens here.
[both giggling]
[♪]
[sighs]
[exhales deeply]
Ahh...
so...
...is there anything you want to talk about?
Not really.
Do you?
Well, to start...
you didn't have blue hair when you left this morning,
[chuckles] Oh, yeah.
That.
I thought Sloan was my friend.
She protected me and taught me things.
Like what?
Well, she told me I was wasting my time with computers
and geeky stuff like that.
Okay.
But she also teases me and pokes fun at me.
So, she bullies you?
I guess.
She talked me into dying my hair.
I see.
But then she told me it looked dumb,
and when Aunt Jess took me back to school,
I caught up with her and asked why,
but she told me she didn't want to be my friend anymore,
that she could never be friends with a geek like me,
and that's when the fight started.
Oh, honey.
You know, you don't need people like Sloan in your life.
She's not good for you.
But fighting is never the answer.
Okay?
All right, let's see what we can do
about this hair of yours, yeah?
I'd have clocked her, too.
You're not helping, Dad!
[♪]
Okay...
and now the reveal.
Thank you, Mom.
Hey, I was in New York in the 2000s.
If there's anything I know, it is how to color hair.
What do you think?
It looks okay.
I like it this way.
You're gorgeous!
Thank you, guys.
Mm-hmm.
You know, sweetie, about Sloan...
sometimes, we have people in our lives
that we think are our friends, but are actually--
Toxic?
[chuckles] Where'd you learn that word?
From Sloan.
She's pretty smart, but pretty toxic.
Oh, sweetheart, you are going to have
lots of friendships in your life,
and some are going to be good and some are going to be bad,
but you'll always know a true friend
because they accept you exactly as you are.
Amen to that.
[♪]
Could I have another beer?
Oh, there's my friend.
Hey, Evan.
Hey.
Haven't seen you here before.
Haven't been here before.
Thought I would stop in for a beer or two.
Or three.
[Mick chuckles]
Don't often hang out in bars, but thought I'd give it a try.
- And? - It's working.
[laughs]
What are you doing here?
Oh, I just made a reservation.
Yeah, I'm having dinner with Megan tonight.
What's the occasion?
I'm gonna ask her to marry me.
Hey...
I'm happy for you, Mick.
Megan's a good woman.
I just don't know how to do it.
The proposal?
Just go for it.
Yeah, but I want it to be special.
A surprise, you know?
Romantic?
I hope so.
I'm thinking about something.
I'm sure you'll figure it out.
Cheers.
Thank you.
Abby tells me your father came to see you.
He's not my father.
Okay.
He may be my biological father,
but he is not and never has been
my father.
Well, maybe he just wants to make things right.
Well, then he's about 30 years too late for that.
You know what? I think I am good.
I'm gonna head home.
Do you need a ride?
No. Mandrake will, uh...
Yes. I need a ride.
Well, come on.
[♪]
Hey, Bree.
Jess and David are off on their date.
Oh! Good for them.
They seem good together.
Yeah.
Oh, I wish I could meet a woman like Jess.
You got any more sisters?
[laughs]
I'm afraid you've met them all.
And they're all taken.
Story of my life!
Do you have a sec?
I started making notes on the screenplay.
- Have you? - Yeah.
And I figured...
what if we start with the funeral
as the jumping-off point,
and then we tell everything else as a flashback?
Hearing that out loud for the first time
just made me realize how stupid that sounds.
That's a total cliche!
Ugh!
Please forget I ever said anything, okay?
[deep breath]
I have some news.
[clicks pen]
Good news or bad news?
As always, it depends on your point of view.
I got an offer to play the villain
in a new Marvel movie.
Wow!
I know, right?
Yeah. You hate Marvel movies.
I hate all comic-book movies. They are the death of cinema.
Yes...
but?
But...
it's been a few years
since I had a real bona-fide hit,
so you gotta worry about the brand.
So you're gonna take it?
I think I'm gonna take it! [giggles]
[inhales sharply]
And what does that mean for All Our Yesterdays?
I'm gonna have to put that on the back burner for awhile.
Huh. I don't know much about Hollywood,
but isn't putting it on the back burner
kind of like shoving it in a drawer
and pretending it never happened?
Can be.
And in this case?
Time will tell.
But, heck! You can still work on the screenplay, on spec.
You mean, for free?
[laughs] Well, we all work for free
until a deal is made.
Besides, you're a novice screenwriter.
You gotta start somewhere.
At the bottom?
Sometimes, that's the most fun place to be.
[clicking pen]
[drumming absently]
Why are you nervous?
Nervous? I'm not nervous.
You're drumming.
You only do Ginger Baker when you're nervous.
That wasn't Ginger Baker.
That was Keith Moon. And I'm not nervous.
I'm happy.
That was happy drumming.
Okay. Then why are you happy?
Why not?
I'm going on a date with my best girl.
Oh... you sweet-talker.
[Mick chuckling]
[♪]
[Evan] Hello.
Evan Kincaid will be back after your message.
Mandrake!
Hi! Is it your day off?
Every day is a day off now.
What do you mean?
Evan has given me my notice.
He fired you?
Yes.
He did.
But he can't do that.
You two are a team.
And you're friends.
Why is he being like this?
There's something you need to know about Evan.
He sometimes has moods.
He calls them "hibernations,"
where he locks himself away
and doesn't communicate with anyone,
except for business.
For how long?
It varies.
Days. Sometimes weeks.
But he always comes out of it.
Is there anything you can do for him,
or I can?
I find it best to just leave him be.
But this time is different.
He's never fired me before.
Never really gotten angry with me.
And it gives me pause.
He should not have done that.
I shouldn't have brought his father up without asking.
It was very presumptuous of me.
No. Do not blame yourself.
He is overreacting.
I mean, aren't you angry with him?
[chuckles] I could never be angry with Evan.
He's done too much for me.
What about everything you do for him?
What has he really done for you?
Did he ever tell you the story of how we met?
Mm-mm.
He was in an accident on a highway in Connecticut.
He always was a terrible driver.
He took a bad turn and his Aston Martin flipped.
Oh...
And I pulled him out just before it burst into flame.
So you saved his life.
Ohh.
Again, what has he done for you?
I was on the scene
because I was living under a highway overpass at the time,
in a tent.
You were homeless?
When I got back from Iraq, things didn't go well for me.
It was a tough time adjusting.
I had health problems.
I don't want to bore you with these.
No, no. No. You're not.
He called me "Mandrake the Magician"
because I pulled him out of the car just in time.
He said he should've never been behind the wheel,
and he asked me if I wanted to be his driver.
I have been, ever since.
Evan gave me a second chance.
Wow.
At the house,
he called you Alan.
My name.
I used to be Alan Wilkins.
But now I think I'll just stay "Mandrake".
Well...
he's being ridiculous.
He can't ghost me. He can't fire you.
Who does he think he is?
I think that is a question
that even he doesn't have an answer for, Abby.
It was lovely to see you.
You too.

[phone rings]
Hey, hon!
So, Greg and I actually just saved a cat
that was stuck up a tree.
Thought that only happened in cartoons.
I'm gonna send you a picture, okay?
Oh, no. It's time.
[exhales tensely] Oh! It's time!
It's time? It's time! Okay.
It's time!
It's time!!
Okay.
Go, go, go!
[siren wails]
That's it. Just remember to breathe.
[breathing deeply and groaning]
That's right. Let it out.
Mm. Get me to the damn hospital!
Let's move!
It's gonna be okay, baby.
[doors thud]
See?
Everything's still standing.
Mm-hmm. The world didn't miss us.
And we didn't miss it.
Hey! You guys are back.
So, did you have a good time?
Oh! We had a great time.
Mm-hmm. Thank you for suggesting it.
Did we miss anything?
Well, let's see...
uh, Luke Tatum, Bree's boyfriend?
He was shot.
What?
Apparently, he stopped a robbery.
He's in the hospital.
Oh, my g--!
Oh, Lord.
Wow! Okay. Um, anything else?
Well, I'm not doing your sister's movie,
but, yeah, that's it.
I'm so glad you guys had a great time!
I'm never leaving the house without my phone again.
Me either.
Oh, uh, one more thing, though--
I really liked your idea for the vineyard you have.
Count me in.
"In"?
I want to invest.
How much "in"?
All the way in. I want to back you.
- [happily gasps] - Owning a vineyard sounds like fun.
I'll have my lawyer draw up the paperwork.
And I'll have my lawyer look it over.
[door thuds]
Speak of the devil.
Hey, Connor.
Uh, David. Got a minute?
Yeah. Come in.
[squeals excitedly]
[door shuts]
[footsteps]
So... what's up?
Well, I've, uh...
I've decided to take your father's case.
Really?
Connor...
I don't know how to thank you, man.
- Well-- - Thank you!
Yeah, you might not feel that way when we're done.
First off, I see two problems.
One--
we're gonna have to hire consultants and analysts.
It's gonna be expensive.
Yeah, I figured.
What's the other thing?
Margaret's gonna kill me when she finds out I took the case.
[chuckles]
This is a very elegant dinner, Mick O'Brien.
What's the occasion?
Well, does there have to be an occasion?
Mm! I'm so full.
That pesto sauce is fantastic.
In fact...
I don't even think I have room for dessert.
Oh, there's always room for dessert.
No, I am seriously full.
- [gasping] - Thank you.
Must've been pre-ordered.
Hmm!
Mick...
crème brûlée, my favorite.
You're evil!
All right, maybe just one bite.
[sugar cracks]
Mm.
That is so delicious.
I think you got the wrong one.
What?
[chuckles]
Mick, they're just the same.
Trust me. They're not.
Is there... something in this?
Crack it and find out.
If this is what I think it is, Mick...
Just crack it.
- Okay. - [sugar snaps]
It's not there?
Mm-mm.
Ah, Meg.
So much has gone wrong today.
Evan and Abby...
Caitlyn, Luke...
and now this.
I feel like the universe is trying to tell me something.
[woman] Ow! My tooth!
[chair scrapes floor]
Oh, boy.
[♪]
Well, at least she was a good sport about it.
Yeah, after I promised to pay her dental bill.
Here.
Oh...
Mick, it's beautiful.
Better than the last one?
That was beautiful, too.
Mick, I--
Wait a minute-- before you say anything,
I'd like to officially ask you.
Megan, will you--
[phone rings]
Mick, it'll keep.
Just go on.
It's Kevin.
Oh... maybe he's got news about Sarah.
Hey, Kev. What's up?
Yes, Dad. You have to meet us at the hospital, okay?
It's time.
Oh, it's time!
Oh!
[♪]
Wait!
The answer is yes.
[siren wails]
Honey, we're just a few minutes--
No, I don't think I have a few minutes!
Sarah--
No, seriously, I think it's coming now!
- Now? - Now!
- Now? - You have to do this!
Yeah-- yeah, okay, yeah. I can do this.
I'm a trained EMT. I've done this before.
Just not with my--
- [screams] Now! - Okay, okay!
Greg!
Greg, pull over! It's really time!
[bracing herself and groaning]
Okay, sweetheart.
Oh!
He's pulling over.
[siren whines and shuts off]
