Chesapeake Shores (2016–…): Season 5, Episode 5 - They Can't Take That Away From Me - full transcript
Previously on
Chesapeake Shores...
We could be pregnant right now.
We could be.
- [knock on door]
- I spent 17 years as a curator
at the MET in New York, and...
I just want the world to
know about your work!
If your father is innocent,
then you shouldn't have
anything to worry about.
Do you have a
lock on that drawer?
Yeah, but I don't
have a key yet.
You might not want to leave
any documents sitting around.
[Captain] Have you
seen my car keys?
I was just wondering
if everything's okay.
I appreciate you caring...
and do me a favor... Keep
it between you and me...
Just until I figure
this whole thing out.
[♪♪♪]
Ah, another
Chesapeake Shores Day
is upon us this weekend,
and the O'Briens
are out in force.
We wouldn't want
to be anywhere else.
I'm glad you're here.
Your family is the
backbone of this community.
That's nice.
He's the mayor.
It's an election year.
He says that to every family.
- No...
- Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah.
O'Brien, don't reach up so high.
I've been helping to build
these booths for 40 years.
I think I know what I'm doing.
40 years, huh?
Exactly my point.
Maybe it's time to
let someone else
risk their life up there.
I like to live dangerously.
Hey, hand me an
Allen wrench, will you?
Yeah, happy to.
Gee... which wrench
is named Allen?
Kidding,
but I don't see one.
That's because it's a
Gracie Allen wrench.
That's actually pretty good.
You're trying to get me
down from that ladder,
aren't you?
It worked, didn't it?
Yup.
Mick O'Brien?
Yes?
Could I have a word with you?
What can I do for you?
In private?
Anything you have to
say you can say right here.
All right, Mandrake
will be here any minute
to take us to the site.
That is great.
We have so many
decisions to make.
This is such a charming town.
We like it.
I've decided to stay a while.
See the project started.
Ah, well, we couldn't
do it without you.
Oh, no, wait, we can.
Ah...
Ooh.
I bought a little bungalow
out on Quander Road,
but it's not quite ready yet,
so I'm looking for a
place to stay for the night.
Any recommendations?
Well, there's lots of
great places in Baltimore.
That's over an hour away.
You catch on quick.
Choosing to ignore that.
I was thinking a B&B.
This Inn at Eagle
Point sounds nice.
Oh, yeah?
Huh, says the
proprietor is Jess O'Brien.
Any relation?
She is my sister,
but you already knew that.
Mandrake did some research.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah, I think I'll stay here.
Why?
'Cause it looks
like a nice place,
has good Yelp reviews.
Checking in on the competition?
Now, does that sound like me?
I really don't know.
Hmm.
Mandrake!
There you are.
I was unexpectedly
detained by traffic, sir.
Apparently, there's a thing
called Chesapeake Shores Day
going on.
So I've heard.
Oh... hey!
Never mind.
What was Sarah doing
coming out of Dr. Baum's office?
- The OBGYN?
- Yep.
[gasping] Maybe she has news.
Well, I'm sure
she'll tell us in time.
Ah, the Grover family!
I'm glad you're here.
Your family is the backbone
of Chesapeake Shores.
Hi.
Is something wrong?
We just got paid
a visit by a lawyer.
Your dad's being sued.
Sued by Paul Dilpher.
He's saying that the
fraud is all Mick's fault.
Guess who's representing him?
I know.
My firm.
[♪♪♪]
♪ The miles are
getting longer it seems ♪
♪ The closer I get to you ♪
♪ So I'm going home ♪
♪ To the place where I belong ♪
♪ Where your love has
always been enough for me ♪
[♪♪♪]
♪ I'm not running from ♪
♪ No, I think you've
got me all wrong ♪
♪ I don't regret this
life I chose for me ♪
[♪♪♪]
♪ I said these places
and these faces ♪

[♪♪♪]
♪ I'm goin' home ♪♪
They're trying to scare you.
All they're doing is
making me angry.
You didn't know
anything about this, right?
No, they're keeping me away
from anything to
do with Dilpher.
A firewall?
Yes.
Now, here's what you don't know.
We have proof,
actual proof
that Dilpher forged
your signature
on several contracts.
What are we going to
do with that information?
Abby and I have a plan.
Which is?
We haven't worked
out all the details yet,
but trust me when
I say this, Dad...
we're gonna get him.
I'm just saying,
having Evan Kincaid stay here
just might not be the best idea.
Too late.
Someone from his
office already called
and reserved a room.
I'm looking forward to it.
I read his interview
in "Vanity Fair".
He's really witty.
Ah... yeah, maybe,
but I'm telling you, he's
so high maintenance.
Well, I'm used to dealing
with people like that.
That's my family,
for better or worse.
Well, I have to admit,
I'm not crazy about him building
some fancy-schmancy
hotel in town.
What if it hurts our business?
I think it's gonna
help our business.
Anything that makes
Chesapeake Shores
a more attractive vacation spot.
It's a win-win.
But good use of
"fancy-schmancy".
Thank you.
His magazine photo?
Very handsome.
Handsome?
I mean... maybe
he's got a nice face,
but I'm telling you,
he will drive you crazy.
But at least I have a nice face.
- Hi, I'm Evan.
- Hi! I'm Jess O'Brien.
This is my fiancé, David Peck.
[Evan] Nice to meet you.
Your place is beautiful.
[Jess] Thank you.
And what is that
incredible smell?
I am making some
handmade tortellini.
Oh.
Room for one more?
Absolutely.
Great.
Hi, Abby.
You're awfully quiet.
It's hard to talk with
your foot in your mouth.
[chuckles] Don't give
it a second thought.
I like that you call
'em like you see 'em.
Okay, now, when I
said "drives you crazy,"
what I meant was...
Challenging?
Or annoying.
Let's go with challenging.
So you two are
tying the knot, huh?
Congrats.
I wish you nothing
but happiness.
Thank you.
Are you married?
Mm-mm, no.
I have not been able
to make that one work.
I guess I'm too...
- "Challenging?"
- Not the word they used,
but sure.
So, won't you stay and
join us for some tortellini?
Oh, I would love to,
but I have this demanding client
who keeps me busy all the time.
Must drive you crazy.
You have no idea.
- Bye!
- Bye.
So I read over your prospectus
for the class you're
teaching in the fall.
Yeah, what did you think?
I like it a lot.
It's very creative.
I think it's just what
the program needs.
That's great.
It's, uh...
it's only missing one thing.
Oh. What?
A name.
A class needs a catchy
name in the course catalog.
Something that will
grab the kids' attention.
That's interesting.
I didn't think you needed
to worry about marketing
in academia.
Ah, I remember
when I was that naive.
We should have dinner sometime,
and I'll tell you about it.
Dinner?
Or lunch, or a coffee.
Don't worry, it's not a date,
I wasn't worried.
Margaret!
Margaret, hey...
Um, I was thinking
about what you said
the other day.
Really? What did I say?
You implied that someone
was going through my desk.
Doesn't sound like
something I would say,
but if someone is
going through your desk,
and you know that,
it seems that you're in
control of what they find,
aren't you?
Morning.
Hey, Bree.
Luke, hi!
Hey.
Hey, did you take that job?
I did.
On your advice.
That's great.
Do you want to sit?
Sure, for a minute,
if I'm not interrupting.
No, not at all.
It's just my lesson plan.
I'm supposed to
teach college kids
how to write the
stories of their lives.
[chuckles]
And my head of department
wants me to come up
with a catchy name for it,
so, um...
Hmm, how about this,
"My Life And Easy Times."
Oh, that's not bad.
"Memoirs of a Graduate
Student, Part One?"
Accurate, but kinda boring.
Oh.
How about, "That's My
Story, and I'm Sticking To It?"
A little defensive.
Yeah, I have that problem.
"A Novel Approach
to Writing Your Life."
That's good.
Or "A Novel Approach to Self."
That... is not bad.
You have hidden depths.
Yeah, well, I have to blend in
due to the sensitive
nature of my work.
Are you a spy?
Okay, we prefer to
use the term "operative,"
but I think I've said
too much already.
You know what, I've always said
that Chesapeake
Shores was a hotbed
of international intrigue,
but nobody ever believed me.
Yes, you know, this place is
actually an information drop
for the KGB.
That explains why
Sally is so elusive.
But I thought the
KGB was no more?
You know too much.
Give me your number
in case I have to
tap your phone.
[gasps] Fun.
Well, this conversation
never happened.
What conversation?
[laughs]
And they didn't tell
you anything more?
Nope,
but I think I'm being spied on.
What makes you think that?
One of the paralegals told me.
Well, she implied it.
I think she was saying...
I don't know what
she was saying,
She can kind of be
a confusing person.
But she's trying to help you?
She is.
I have calls into other builders
who worked with
Dilpher in the past.
I asked them to
pull up old contracts
to see if they notice
any discrepancies.
People will just go
and pull files for you?
Not for me.
They're doing it for you, Dad.
Mick O'Brien's
reputation is gold.
Used to be.
Now I'm being sued
for criminal negligence.
We're going to figure this out.
If Dilpher did this to you,
he probably did it
to other builders.
Now, we only have two
days until the deposition,
which doesn't give us
much time to prepare.
Well, we'd better get to it.
They should know better
than to mess with the O'Briens.
[laughing]
David, this is so good.
Thank you.
You know, I made
this at the firehouse.
That was this?
There's no way you
gave me the same recipe.
Yeah, I may have left
out a couple ingredients.
I knew it.
[laughter]
I kind of feel sorry for him.
What?
Oh, no, he's fine.
I bet he loves some alone time.
He's around people all day.
Hmm, I don't know.
Hey, I'm sorry to interrupt.
I just wanted to say my
compliments to the chef.
Do you want to join us?
Oh, no, no, I wouldn't
want to intrude.
Okay.
Well, if you insist.
Okay.
Hi!
I am Evan.
Hey. Kevin O'Brien,
This is my wife, Sarah.
Hi. Wow, another O'Brien.
How many of you are there?
There's a few more of us.
Amazing.
So, Kevin, what
are your interests?
[Jess whispers] I'm sorry.
Is this okay?
Yeah. Yes, it is.
Hey, I saw you this morning,
coming out of Dr. Baum's office.
Do you have news?
No, no, it's just a check-up.
Oh.
Excuse me for just a second.
Okay, so, suppose I was choking,
could you Heimlich me?
[Kevin] We don't really
call it that anymore,
but yeah, sure.
[Evan] Do you ever just
turn the sirens on for fun?
- We're not supposed to...
- I'll be right back.
Okay.
[sniffling]
Sarah...
Yeah?
I'm sorry if I upset you.
No, I'm fine, really.
What is it?
I did go see Dr. Baum today...
and he said that I
have endometriosis,
and I might not be
able to get pregnant.
Sarah, I'm so sorry.
I haven't even
worked up the nerve
to tell Kevin about it yet.
My brother married
you for a good reason.
He thinks you're perfect.
[chuckles ruefully]
I'm not perfect.
But you're perfect for him.
You guys are going
to be amazing parents.
One way or another,
you're going to find a way
to fill your arms with babies.
I hope you're right.
Thank you.
[♪♪♪]
That was fun.
Evan's a piece of work, huh?
[chuckling]
I kinda like him.
Yeah.
Kevin and Sarah are
trying to have a baby.
Oh, nice.
I remember them saying
that they wanted a lot of kids.
But Sarah told me
she might have
trouble conceiving.
That's tough.
It's not the end of
the world, though, is it,
to not be able to have a baby?
No, I guess not.
It's sad, though.
[Megan] Mm. What smells so good?
I'm making me casserole.
Your special casserole?
Uh-huh.
For who?
Do you really
want Arthur Driscoll
to be sitting down
and talking with you?
I do.
Uh-huh, well then,
this casserole is for him.
Hmm. Thank you.
Hey, did you get my text?
Yeah, I'm intrigued.
So they found these on
the hotel building site?
Mm-hmm, they were digging
the underground
parking structure,
and found these in the soil.
Whoa...
Wow, this is so cool.
I guess we should call somebody.
I already did.
There's an archeologist
from the Smithsonian
coming down.
They look Colonial.
Okay, look at this fork,
and look at this fork.
Three, or what, 400
years have passed,
and the only real change
is four tines instead of three?
History is fascinating,
don't you think?
It was not my favorite subject.
Listen, you realize
that this could cauls
a work stoppage
if they find
something significant.
It's no big deal.
It's part of the fun
of building stuff.
Heck, on one of my
construction sites in Scotland,
they found a
1000-year-old skeleton.
Really?
Evan's now in a
museum in Edinburgh.
You called it "Evan"?
It wasn't my idea,
but I paid for the excavation,
and the museum decided
to name it after me,
but you know what the best thing
about Evan the Skeleton is?
I'm sure you're
going to tell me.
He has a nice face.
Now, don't take it
personally if he's rude.
He is a little cranky.
Oh, ho, ho, I remember.
[clearing throat]
Who's there?
It's me again!
Megan O'Brien!
What is wrong with you?
Can't you take a hint?
Well, I brought someone
that you might remember.
Nell O'Brien,
as I live and breathe.
Hello, Arthur Driscoll.
I've brought you a casserole.
This is delicious.
Reminds me of the old days.
Sure now, what brought
you back here, Arthur?
I spent a thousand hours
sitting on the shore here,
reading and sketching.
Closest I came to happiness.
I, um...
I'm so sorry
that I did not stay
in touch with you
after Elaine died.
Oh, I lost contact
with everyone.
Elaine was my contact.
How's Charlie?
Charlie passed
on a long time ago.
Oh, I'm sorry.
There are so few people around
who remember the
old days anymore.
Oh, and do you remember
that precious
one-room school house
on Norton Point Road?
I think I did a
painting of that.
What?
Oh...
Arthur...
Here it is.
Arthur...
Oh. Oh...
Well, you... you captured it,
perfectly.
- Ah, it's okay.
- No...
You can have it.
- What?
- She can?
Sure.
I don't want it.
I haven't painted or
drawn anything for years.
The man who made them
seems like an entirely
different person.
Well, I will...
I will treasure this.
Thank you, Arthur.
[emergency alarm ringing]
Come on, it's you and me, kid.
Okay, let's do it.
[dispatch] Female, early 20s,
She has collapsed at
Chesapeake Shores Library.
Reportedly in and
out of consciousness.
[siren wailing]
You are okay.
We're taking you to the
Emergency room right now.
We're here to help.
Now, Miss, are you
allergic to any medication?
Miss...
are you allergic
to any medication?
I don't think so.
Are you on any
medication right now?
Antibiotics for
an ear infection.
It's in my book bag.
Point three milliliters
epinephrine right now, Captain.
Whoa, whoa, whoa,
whoa, what are you doing?
- What?
- I said .3 milliliters,
not .6!
What?
Remember every year
when we used to go
to Aunt Casey's
house for Easter,
and she would have
those pretty baskets
with the chocolate
bunnies, and the eggs,
and the jelly beans?
Hello, Jess.
I'm fine, how are you?
My point is,
aunts are important.
You should never
underestimate the power of aunts.
Yes.
What is happening right now?
How am I supposed
to be a mother?
[exhales] Well, um...
you give birth.
No, seriously.
I have no idea how to be a mom.
My mother wasn't around
to teach me basic
mothering stuff.
Well, you had Gran,
and Abby,
and... me-ish?
But not my mom.
How am I supposed to know
how to teach them
right from wrong,
or remember to
stand up straight,
or send thank you notes?
You just do that stuff,
and you just love
your kids, Jess.
You have so much
love to go around.
You'll don't have
to worry about this.
I don't know.
You don't know what?
If I want to have kids.
Is that a terrible thing to say?
No.
No, no, if...
If you don't want
kids, that's fine.
But what if David wants to?
Oh.
You haven't talked about that?
Not really.
I guess we should, huh?
Before we...
I-I think you should.
Kevin...
He could have killed that girl.
Yeah.
What are you going to do?
I have to report it.
I can't cover for him.
I know.
Did you talk to him about it?
I tried to.
You owe it to him.
[knocks gently]
Hey, Captain, you home?
Captain!
You here?
It's Kev.
Welcome to my world.
Sorry, just the door was open.
Do you know
that out of everybody
at he station-house,
you're the only
one that noticed?
Or the only one
who said something.
I wasn't trying to pry.
It started about
four months ago.
Little things.
Forgetting people's names,
where I left my car.
Then I'd get better.
I thought it was a
passing thing, you know?
Then it would come back...
worse.
The forgetfulness,
the confusion.
What can I do to help?
I appreciate that,
but I'm seeing my
doctor tomorrow.
I was a stubborn
fool, putting it off,
not wanting to know the truth.
I see.
I mean,
I thought I could
stay on the job
until I couldn't
hide it anymore.
Then I almost killed that woman.
If you hadn't been there...
You know, Captain,
if this was any other kind
of job, maybe you could...
But it's isn't, is it?
It's life and death, every day.
I tell you, I've
been at this job
for over 30 years.
It's really hard to let it go.
I'm so sorry.
I'm going to step down.
I, uh...
I'll do it soon...
and I won't go
on any more rides,
so you don't have to worry.
I kind of can't help but worry.
Hey.
Hey, just left a little
something in my desk.
Did you lock it?
Sure did.
Thanks for driving.
Mandrake hates to take days off,
but I insist.
This is your bungalow?
Yeah.
Hey, you want to come
in, have some dinner?
I'm sure there's a kitchen
and food in there somewhere.
Next to your indoor
swimming pool?
No, no, that is around back.
I have to get home,
but you give me a call
if you get lost in there.
Will do!
[starts engine]
Hey, what did you
want to talk about?
[sighs heavily]
Well, I went to see Dr. Baum...
and he said I might have
trouble getting pregnant.
Oh.
Endometriosis.
Hey, hey, honey...
we'll be okay.
No, but, Kevin,
we want a family...
And we'll have one.
If it comes down to
it, we could adopt.
[chuckles]
As long as we have each
other, nothing else matters.
I'm going to go for a swim.
Big race in two days.
But it's the middle
of the dinner rush.
I could use some help.
It's winding down.
I'm sure you can handle it.
Yeah, I know, I'm sure I can,
but I'd appreciate
it if you would...
Why are you yelling at me?
I'm not yelling at you.
I've never yelled at
you in my entire life.
What's wrong?
Why are you marrying me?
Um...
Because you're awesome
and I love you.
Don't you think
it's irresponsible
to jump into a marriage
for reasons like that?
Okay...
what's going on?
Talk to me.
I think you should know
that I...
might not be a very good mother.
Okay, well, I think that you
might be wrong about that.
I just want you to be fully...
I want you to be aware...
I'm saying that I
wouldn't blame you...
Do you understand?
No, not really.
What are you saying?
That you're not going
to be a good mother
to the children that
we don't even have yet?
Exactly.
What if I don't
know what I'm doing,
as a parent?
But that's the whole point.
Nobody knows what they're doing.
You figure it out,
and whatever
happens, we do together.
It's not like anything
is all on you.
But what if don't...
What if I don't want kids?
Um...
You don't?
I don't know.
But what if I don't?
Would you still
want to marry me?
You didn't answer.
No, I didn't.
When is Dad going
to call that lawyer?
I don't know,
but he's saying he
wants to do it himself,
which scares me.
Hey, David.
Would you make that delicious
eggs benny with crab meat
for brunch instead of breakfast?
I can make it happen.
You're a good man.
I'll be out on the porch
if anyone wants to join me
in a game of backgammon.
Ah, you're ready to take on
the Backgammon Master, huh?
One question before we start...
How do you play this game?
Why are you here?
- What do you mean?
- I mean,
you bought a giant bungalow
that has an indoor
swimming pool,
and probably a tennis
court and a bowling alley.
But only duck pin.
Again, why are you here?
I like it here.
I like the people,
I like the activity.
There's always something
going around here.
My place is so...
quiet.
Lonely?
I had dinner with
Jess and David,
and Kevin and Sarah.
No, I... I crashed their dinner,
I guess, yeah.
But I had a great
time, you know?
They were so much fun,
and they knew
each other so well.
It was like...
Family?
Yeah.
I never really had that.
Oh. I'm sorry.
Don't be.
It made me who I am today.
All right.
Backgammon...
Take the little dice,
and put it in the little cup.
I am all ears.
Well, we're ready to begin.
Is your lawyer going to be
gracing us with his presence?
I'll be representing myself.
How nice.
Hello, everyone.
Connor...
there's no reason
for you to be here.
Oh, don't mind me,
I'm just observing.
Connor...
If Mr. O'Brien wants to observe,
let him observe.
Mr. O'Brien, we want
you to understand
that Paul Dilpher respects you,
and he wants to
come to an agreement
that can end quickly.
There's no point going down
a hard and difficult road here.
And what does this
agreement look like?
Because right
now, it looks to me
like I'm being set
up to be the fall guy
for Paul Dilpher.
It's not personal, Mick.
It's just business.
Oh, it's very personal.
You're trying to destroy me
and my reputation.
Mr. O'Brien, just hear us out.
No, you hear me out.
I have proof
that several of the contracts
Mr. Dilpher claims I signed
are, in fact, forgeries.
Consequently, I'm going
to make you an offer.
Wonderful.
Let's get to it.
It's a one-time-only offer,
and it expires in five minutes.
We're all ears.
I will walk away
from all of this
if Mr. Dilpher will sign
a document right now
stating that he lied
about my involvement,
and if he apologizes
profusely
and publicly
for implicating me in
his illegal transactions.
We thought you were
coming to your senses.
This is Leonard
Shakley and Associates,
builders in California.
This is Gross and Madden,
builders in Wisconsin.
Smith and Sons,
Oregon.
It seems they, too,
found discrepancies in
Mr. Dilpher's contracts.
That's very interesting,
but...
I have some documents here, too.
A personal communication
between your children,
Mr. Connor O'Brien and
Mrs. Abby O'Brien-Winters.
In it,
they claim that they believe
their father is not innocent.
You have no right
to go through my
personal correspondence
and steal documents.
I knew you would
speak up eventually.
Anything written on company time
is a work product.
This was found in
the garbage here.
Linda, that was
locked in my desk.
We'll have to agree
to disagree on that one.
"Abby, I'm so worried about Dad.
Who knows what he
knew or when he knew it?
I feel like he should
just take responsibility
for anything he was a part of.
After all,
he was the one who
raised us to tell the truth."
Wait...
what's on the second
page of that letter?
The second page?
That's right.
Because, as I said,
that was locked in my desk,
and it was a first draft
on the firm's stationary...
that I notarized
and mailed to myself
here at the firm.
"I feel it is his duty
to tell the truth...
about who ate
Gran's coffee cake.
We all deserved to enjoy it,
and he selfishly ate
more than his share,
leaving just crumbs.
Connor."
I'm sorry, Connor,
I just...
I just can't resist
Mom's coffee cake.
I find it shocking
that people who are
supposed to be my colleagues
would go through my
personal correspondence.
I have no choice
but to offer my
resignation immediately,
which I happen to have on me.
I quit.
These documents prove
that Dilpher forged
Mr. O'Brien's signature
on 24 separate contracts,
and this letter proves
that this law firm spied
on a junior associate
in an attempt to get
intel on his family.
You should be
ashamed of yourselves.
I'll be reporting this
to the Bar Association.
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
That's my son,
the lawyer.
Well, we did it.
Yes, we did.
I'm very proud of you, Connor.
That was a brave thing you
did, quitting your job like that.
I don't know.
I couldn't have
kept working here.
What are you going to do now?
I hadn't really
thought about it.
Except I'm done
working for big law firms.
I want to practice law,
that's why I became a lawyer.
Then why don't you?
What am I going to do,
hang up my shingle in
Chesapeake Shores?
Connor O'Brien, attorney-at-law?
Sure. Why not?
We just wanted a second opinion.
Which is very wise,
and I have to tell you,
the news is not that bad.
But I do have endometriosis,
and I read something like
40% percent of women
with endometriosis
have problems conceiving?
For every bit of
real information
you can find on the Internet,
you can also get led down a
rabbit hole of misinformation
and doom and gloom.
That's what I warned you about.
You did it, too.
I know, but...
Everybody does it.
Just don't believe the worst.
Now, how long have
you been trying?
A couple months.
I say you give it
at least six months
before we consider
other options.
That shouldn't be
too hard, should it?
No.
What other options?
Well, we could consider IUI,
intrauterine insemination,
or we may have to use surgery
to remove the
endometrial growths,
but let's just focus on the now.
And remember,
many women who
have your condition
are able to have
healthy, full-term babies.
Don't worry.
The bottom line is, we're
going to get through it,
and I'm going to be with
you every step of the way.
I know, but...
But what?
This isn't me,
I'm not a worrier.
So?
So why am I so
worried about this?
I mean, I run into
burning buildings
without giving it
a second thought,
but this?
This just stresses me out.
Because you can't control it.
I promise you, Sarah, we're
going to get through this.
[♪♪♪]
Hey.
Hey.
I'm sorry
about what I said yesterday.
Did you mean it?
I don't know.
I'm not sure.
Look, I'm not sure either,
but I know I want
to be with you...
and...
I'd like to have kids.
But if you don't
want to, then...
I guess I'm just going
to have to deal with that.
I love you,
and I'm not saying I
definitely don't want kids.
I'm just saying
the idea scares
the heck out of me.
Yeah, well, it is...
it's pretty scary.
Yeah.
[♪♪♪]
Hey.
I'll see you at the
finish line, Mom.
May the best woman win, darling.
All right, guys.
Keep the pace, we
can win this thing.
And remember, it's
not about winning.
It's about taking part.
[laughing]
Good one.
You're funny.
We're O'Briens,
it's all about winning.
- [rowdy cheering]
- See ya out there.
- Okay.
- We've gotta beat them.
[Megan] Good luck, girls!

Roll in, everybody.
And now,
I'd like to present
our beloved Fire
Captain, Roger Gahagan.
Come on up here, Roger!
[applause]
Thank you.
Well, thank you very much.
We raised enough money
for a brand-new fire truck.
[cheering and applause]
Yes. Isn't that fantastic?
And since we have
a new fire truck...
I think it's time we
had a new Captain.
That's right,
I'm stepping down.
Retiring.
I think, uh...
I think it's time to
take it easy for a while.
Thank you to everyone.
It's been a great ride.
[applause and cheers]
Thank you, everybody.
[woman] Thank you.
Thank you.
I love you.
[Mick] So I said, you tell me.
[laughing]
[tapping glass]
All right, everybody,
I'd like to make a toast
to all of these fine
athletes here today.
- Cheers!
- Well done.
Especially to Mom.
You really brought it.
Thank you, son,
and I also brought Epsom Salts.
I am soaking in
a hot tub tonight.
Everything hurts.
[laughter]
I'd also like to
make another toast
- to Connor and Abby.
- Yes.
The Dilpher case against
me has been dropped,
and criminal charges
are being been brought
against Paul
Dilpher as we speak.
Hear, hear!
- All right.
- Cheers.
Well, we knew it
would work out, Dad.
Not without you guys.
I've also made a very
important decision
regarding the wedding.
Oh, you don't want any gifts?
[laughter]
No, I want gifts. Lots of gifts.
- That's not it.
- Got it.
I would like Abby to
be my Maid of Honor
and Bree, to officiate.
I'd be honored.
Didn't you marry Brian and Scott
back in Chicago?
I did, yeah,
but I'm not registered
here in Maryland.
Oh, wait. Wait, wait.
I can help with that.
Click there.
Okay.
And now you are,
and you owe me $50.
Put it on my tab.
I'm never gonna see that.
This is going to be great!
[gasps] Wait, if I'm
your Maid of Honor,
does that mean
I get to throw you a
Bachelorette Party?
Uh-oh.
Should I be worried?
Very worried.
[laughter]
[cheering]
[♪♪♪]
Chesapeake Shores...
We could be pregnant right now.
We could be.
- [knock on door]
- I spent 17 years as a curator
at the MET in New York, and...
I just want the world to
know about your work!
If your father is innocent,
then you shouldn't have
anything to worry about.
Do you have a
lock on that drawer?
Yeah, but I don't
have a key yet.
You might not want to leave
any documents sitting around.
[Captain] Have you
seen my car keys?
I was just wondering
if everything's okay.
I appreciate you caring...
and do me a favor... Keep
it between you and me...
Just until I figure
this whole thing out.
[♪♪♪]
Ah, another
Chesapeake Shores Day
is upon us this weekend,
and the O'Briens
are out in force.
We wouldn't want
to be anywhere else.
I'm glad you're here.
Your family is the
backbone of this community.
That's nice.
He's the mayor.
It's an election year.
He says that to every family.
- No...
- Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah.
O'Brien, don't reach up so high.
I've been helping to build
these booths for 40 years.
I think I know what I'm doing.
40 years, huh?
Exactly my point.
Maybe it's time to
let someone else
risk their life up there.
I like to live dangerously.
Hey, hand me an
Allen wrench, will you?
Yeah, happy to.
Gee... which wrench
is named Allen?
Kidding,
but I don't see one.
That's because it's a
Gracie Allen wrench.
That's actually pretty good.
You're trying to get me
down from that ladder,
aren't you?
It worked, didn't it?
Yup.
Mick O'Brien?
Yes?
Could I have a word with you?
What can I do for you?
In private?
Anything you have to
say you can say right here.
All right, Mandrake
will be here any minute
to take us to the site.
That is great.
We have so many
decisions to make.
This is such a charming town.
We like it.
I've decided to stay a while.
See the project started.
Ah, well, we couldn't
do it without you.
Oh, no, wait, we can.
Ah...
Ooh.
I bought a little bungalow
out on Quander Road,
but it's not quite ready yet,
so I'm looking for a
place to stay for the night.
Any recommendations?
Well, there's lots of
great places in Baltimore.
That's over an hour away.
You catch on quick.
Choosing to ignore that.
I was thinking a B&B.
This Inn at Eagle
Point sounds nice.
Oh, yeah?
Huh, says the
proprietor is Jess O'Brien.
Any relation?
She is my sister,
but you already knew that.
Mandrake did some research.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah, I think I'll stay here.
Why?
'Cause it looks
like a nice place,
has good Yelp reviews.
Checking in on the competition?
Now, does that sound like me?
I really don't know.
Hmm.
Mandrake!
There you are.
I was unexpectedly
detained by traffic, sir.
Apparently, there's a thing
called Chesapeake Shores Day
going on.
So I've heard.
Oh... hey!
Never mind.
What was Sarah doing
coming out of Dr. Baum's office?
- The OBGYN?
- Yep.
[gasping] Maybe she has news.
Well, I'm sure
she'll tell us in time.
Ah, the Grover family!
I'm glad you're here.
Your family is the backbone
of Chesapeake Shores.
Hi.
Is something wrong?
We just got paid
a visit by a lawyer.
Your dad's being sued.
Sued by Paul Dilpher.
He's saying that the
fraud is all Mick's fault.
Guess who's representing him?
I know.
My firm.

They're trying to scare you.
All they're doing is
making me angry.
You didn't know
anything about this, right?
No, they're keeping me away
from anything to
do with Dilpher.
A firewall?
Yes.
Now, here's what you don't know.
We have proof,
actual proof
that Dilpher forged
your signature
on several contracts.
What are we going to
do with that information?
Abby and I have a plan.
Which is?
We haven't worked
out all the details yet,
but trust me when
I say this, Dad...
we're gonna get him.
I'm just saying,
having Evan Kincaid stay here
just might not be the best idea.
Too late.
Someone from his
office already called
and reserved a room.
I'm looking forward to it.
I read his interview
in "Vanity Fair".
He's really witty.
Ah... yeah, maybe,
but I'm telling you, he's
so high maintenance.
Well, I'm used to dealing
with people like that.
That's my family,
for better or worse.
Well, I have to admit,
I'm not crazy about him building
some fancy-schmancy
hotel in town.
What if it hurts our business?
I think it's gonna
help our business.
Anything that makes
Chesapeake Shores
a more attractive vacation spot.
It's a win-win.
But good use of
"fancy-schmancy".
Thank you.
His magazine photo?
Very handsome.
Handsome?
I mean... maybe
he's got a nice face,
but I'm telling you,
he will drive you crazy.
But at least I have a nice face.
- Hi, I'm Evan.
- Hi! I'm Jess O'Brien.
This is my fiancé, David Peck.
[Evan] Nice to meet you.
Your place is beautiful.
[Jess] Thank you.
And what is that
incredible smell?
I am making some
handmade tortellini.
Oh.
Room for one more?
Absolutely.
Great.
Hi, Abby.
You're awfully quiet.
It's hard to talk with
your foot in your mouth.
[chuckles] Don't give
it a second thought.
I like that you call
'em like you see 'em.
Okay, now, when I
said "drives you crazy,"
what I meant was...
Challenging?
Or annoying.
Let's go with challenging.
So you two are
tying the knot, huh?
Congrats.
I wish you nothing
but happiness.
Thank you.
Are you married?
Mm-mm, no.
I have not been able
to make that one work.
I guess I'm too...
- "Challenging?"
- Not the word they used,
but sure.
So, won't you stay and
join us for some tortellini?
Oh, I would love to,
but I have this demanding client
who keeps me busy all the time.
Must drive you crazy.
You have no idea.
- Bye!
- Bye.
So I read over your prospectus
for the class you're
teaching in the fall.
Yeah, what did you think?
I like it a lot.
It's very creative.
I think it's just what
the program needs.
That's great.
It's, uh...
it's only missing one thing.
Oh. What?
A name.
A class needs a catchy
name in the course catalog.
Something that will
grab the kids' attention.
That's interesting.
I didn't think you needed
to worry about marketing
in academia.
Ah, I remember
when I was that naive.
We should have dinner sometime,
and I'll tell you about it.
Dinner?
Or lunch, or a coffee.
Don't worry, it's not a date,
I wasn't worried.
Margaret!
Margaret, hey...
Um, I was thinking
about what you said
the other day.
Really? What did I say?
You implied that someone
was going through my desk.
Doesn't sound like
something I would say,
but if someone is
going through your desk,
and you know that,
it seems that you're in
control of what they find,
aren't you?
Morning.
Hey, Bree.
Luke, hi!
Hey.
Hey, did you take that job?
I did.
On your advice.
That's great.
Do you want to sit?
Sure, for a minute,
if I'm not interrupting.
No, not at all.
It's just my lesson plan.
I'm supposed to
teach college kids
how to write the
stories of their lives.
[chuckles]
And my head of department
wants me to come up
with a catchy name for it,
so, um...
Hmm, how about this,
"My Life And Easy Times."
Oh, that's not bad.
"Memoirs of a Graduate
Student, Part One?"
Accurate, but kinda boring.
Oh.
How about, "That's My
Story, and I'm Sticking To It?"
A little defensive.
Yeah, I have that problem.
"A Novel Approach
to Writing Your Life."
That's good.
Or "A Novel Approach to Self."
That... is not bad.
You have hidden depths.
Yeah, well, I have to blend in
due to the sensitive
nature of my work.
Are you a spy?
Okay, we prefer to
use the term "operative,"
but I think I've said
too much already.
You know what, I've always said
that Chesapeake
Shores was a hotbed
of international intrigue,
but nobody ever believed me.
Yes, you know, this place is
actually an information drop
for the KGB.
That explains why
Sally is so elusive.
But I thought the
KGB was no more?
You know too much.
Give me your number
in case I have to
tap your phone.
[gasps] Fun.
Well, this conversation
never happened.
What conversation?
[laughs]
And they didn't tell
you anything more?
Nope,
but I think I'm being spied on.
What makes you think that?
One of the paralegals told me.
Well, she implied it.
I think she was saying...
I don't know what
she was saying,
She can kind of be
a confusing person.
But she's trying to help you?
She is.
I have calls into other builders
who worked with
Dilpher in the past.
I asked them to
pull up old contracts
to see if they notice
any discrepancies.
People will just go
and pull files for you?
Not for me.
They're doing it for you, Dad.
Mick O'Brien's
reputation is gold.
Used to be.
Now I'm being sued
for criminal negligence.
We're going to figure this out.
If Dilpher did this to you,
he probably did it
to other builders.
Now, we only have two
days until the deposition,
which doesn't give us
much time to prepare.
Well, we'd better get to it.
They should know better
than to mess with the O'Briens.
[laughing]
David, this is so good.
Thank you.
You know, I made
this at the firehouse.
That was this?
There's no way you
gave me the same recipe.
Yeah, I may have left
out a couple ingredients.
I knew it.
[laughter]
I kind of feel sorry for him.
What?
Oh, no, he's fine.
I bet he loves some alone time.
He's around people all day.
Hmm, I don't know.
Hey, I'm sorry to interrupt.
I just wanted to say my
compliments to the chef.
Do you want to join us?
Oh, no, no, I wouldn't
want to intrude.
Okay.
Well, if you insist.
Okay.
Hi!
I am Evan.
Hey. Kevin O'Brien,
This is my wife, Sarah.
Hi. Wow, another O'Brien.
How many of you are there?
There's a few more of us.
Amazing.
So, Kevin, what
are your interests?
[Jess whispers] I'm sorry.
Is this okay?
Yeah. Yes, it is.
Hey, I saw you this morning,
coming out of Dr. Baum's office.
Do you have news?
No, no, it's just a check-up.
Oh.
Excuse me for just a second.
Okay, so, suppose I was choking,
could you Heimlich me?
[Kevin] We don't really
call it that anymore,
but yeah, sure.
[Evan] Do you ever just
turn the sirens on for fun?
- We're not supposed to...
- I'll be right back.
Okay.
[sniffling]
Sarah...
Yeah?
I'm sorry if I upset you.
No, I'm fine, really.
What is it?
I did go see Dr. Baum today...
and he said that I
have endometriosis,
and I might not be
able to get pregnant.
Sarah, I'm so sorry.
I haven't even
worked up the nerve
to tell Kevin about it yet.
My brother married
you for a good reason.
He thinks you're perfect.
[chuckles ruefully]
I'm not perfect.
But you're perfect for him.
You guys are going
to be amazing parents.
One way or another,
you're going to find a way
to fill your arms with babies.
I hope you're right.
Thank you.
[♪♪♪]
That was fun.
Evan's a piece of work, huh?
[chuckling]
I kinda like him.
Yeah.
Kevin and Sarah are
trying to have a baby.
Oh, nice.
I remember them saying
that they wanted a lot of kids.
But Sarah told me
she might have
trouble conceiving.
That's tough.
It's not the end of
the world, though, is it,
to not be able to have a baby?
No, I guess not.
It's sad, though.
[Megan] Mm. What smells so good?
I'm making me casserole.
Your special casserole?
Uh-huh.
For who?
Do you really
want Arthur Driscoll
to be sitting down
and talking with you?
I do.
Uh-huh, well then,
this casserole is for him.
Hmm. Thank you.
Hey, did you get my text?
Yeah, I'm intrigued.
So they found these on
the hotel building site?
Mm-hmm, they were digging
the underground
parking structure,
and found these in the soil.
Whoa...
Wow, this is so cool.
I guess we should call somebody.
I already did.
There's an archeologist
from the Smithsonian
coming down.
They look Colonial.
Okay, look at this fork,
and look at this fork.
Three, or what, 400
years have passed,
and the only real change
is four tines instead of three?
History is fascinating,
don't you think?
It was not my favorite subject.
Listen, you realize
that this could cauls
a work stoppage
if they find
something significant.
It's no big deal.
It's part of the fun
of building stuff.
Heck, on one of my
construction sites in Scotland,
they found a
1000-year-old skeleton.
Really?
Evan's now in a
museum in Edinburgh.
You called it "Evan"?
It wasn't my idea,
but I paid for the excavation,
and the museum decided
to name it after me,
but you know what the best thing
about Evan the Skeleton is?
I'm sure you're
going to tell me.
He has a nice face.
Now, don't take it
personally if he's rude.
He is a little cranky.
Oh, ho, ho, I remember.
[clearing throat]
Who's there?
It's me again!
Megan O'Brien!
What is wrong with you?
Can't you take a hint?
Well, I brought someone
that you might remember.
Nell O'Brien,
as I live and breathe.
Hello, Arthur Driscoll.
I've brought you a casserole.
This is delicious.
Reminds me of the old days.
Sure now, what brought
you back here, Arthur?
I spent a thousand hours
sitting on the shore here,
reading and sketching.
Closest I came to happiness.
I, um...
I'm so sorry
that I did not stay
in touch with you
after Elaine died.
Oh, I lost contact
with everyone.
Elaine was my contact.
How's Charlie?
Charlie passed
on a long time ago.
Oh, I'm sorry.
There are so few people around
who remember the
old days anymore.
Oh, and do you remember
that precious
one-room school house
on Norton Point Road?
I think I did a
painting of that.
What?
Oh...
Arthur...
Here it is.
Arthur...
Oh. Oh...
Well, you... you captured it,
perfectly.
- Ah, it's okay.
- No...
You can have it.
- What?
- She can?
Sure.
I don't want it.
I haven't painted or
drawn anything for years.
The man who made them
seems like an entirely
different person.
Well, I will...
I will treasure this.
Thank you, Arthur.
[emergency alarm ringing]
Come on, it's you and me, kid.
Okay, let's do it.
[dispatch] Female, early 20s,
She has collapsed at
Chesapeake Shores Library.
Reportedly in and
out of consciousness.
[siren wailing]
You are okay.
We're taking you to the
Emergency room right now.
We're here to help.
Now, Miss, are you
allergic to any medication?
Miss...
are you allergic
to any medication?
I don't think so.
Are you on any
medication right now?
Antibiotics for
an ear infection.
It's in my book bag.
Point three milliliters
epinephrine right now, Captain.
Whoa, whoa, whoa,
whoa, what are you doing?
- What?
- I said .3 milliliters,
not .6!
What?
Remember every year
when we used to go
to Aunt Casey's
house for Easter,
and she would have
those pretty baskets
with the chocolate
bunnies, and the eggs,
and the jelly beans?
Hello, Jess.
I'm fine, how are you?
My point is,
aunts are important.
You should never
underestimate the power of aunts.
Yes.
What is happening right now?
How am I supposed
to be a mother?
[exhales] Well, um...
you give birth.
No, seriously.
I have no idea how to be a mom.
My mother wasn't around
to teach me basic
mothering stuff.
Well, you had Gran,
and Abby,
and... me-ish?
But not my mom.
How am I supposed to know
how to teach them
right from wrong,
or remember to
stand up straight,
or send thank you notes?
You just do that stuff,
and you just love
your kids, Jess.
You have so much
love to go around.
You'll don't have
to worry about this.
I don't know.
You don't know what?
If I want to have kids.
Is that a terrible thing to say?
No.
No, no, if...
If you don't want
kids, that's fine.
But what if David wants to?
Oh.
You haven't talked about that?
Not really.
I guess we should, huh?
Before we...
I-I think you should.
Kevin...
He could have killed that girl.
Yeah.
What are you going to do?
I have to report it.
I can't cover for him.
I know.
Did you talk to him about it?
I tried to.
You owe it to him.
[knocks gently]
Hey, Captain, you home?
Captain!
You here?
It's Kev.
Welcome to my world.
Sorry, just the door was open.
Do you know
that out of everybody
at he station-house,
you're the only
one that noticed?
Or the only one
who said something.
I wasn't trying to pry.
It started about
four months ago.
Little things.
Forgetting people's names,
where I left my car.
Then I'd get better.
I thought it was a
passing thing, you know?
Then it would come back...
worse.
The forgetfulness,
the confusion.
What can I do to help?
I appreciate that,
but I'm seeing my
doctor tomorrow.
I was a stubborn
fool, putting it off,
not wanting to know the truth.
I see.
I mean,
I thought I could
stay on the job
until I couldn't
hide it anymore.
Then I almost killed that woman.
If you hadn't been there...
You know, Captain,
if this was any other kind
of job, maybe you could...
But it's isn't, is it?
It's life and death, every day.
I tell you, I've
been at this job
for over 30 years.
It's really hard to let it go.
I'm so sorry.
I'm going to step down.
I, uh...
I'll do it soon...
and I won't go
on any more rides,
so you don't have to worry.
I kind of can't help but worry.
Hey.
Hey, just left a little
something in my desk.
Did you lock it?
Sure did.
Thanks for driving.
Mandrake hates to take days off,
but I insist.
This is your bungalow?
Yeah.
Hey, you want to come
in, have some dinner?
I'm sure there's a kitchen
and food in there somewhere.
Next to your indoor
swimming pool?
No, no, that is around back.
I have to get home,
but you give me a call
if you get lost in there.
Will do!
[starts engine]
Hey, what did you
want to talk about?
[sighs heavily]
Well, I went to see Dr. Baum...
and he said I might have
trouble getting pregnant.
Oh.
Endometriosis.
Hey, hey, honey...
we'll be okay.
No, but, Kevin,
we want a family...
And we'll have one.
If it comes down to
it, we could adopt.
[chuckles]
As long as we have each
other, nothing else matters.
I'm going to go for a swim.
Big race in two days.
But it's the middle
of the dinner rush.
I could use some help.
It's winding down.
I'm sure you can handle it.
Yeah, I know, I'm sure I can,
but I'd appreciate
it if you would...
Why are you yelling at me?
I'm not yelling at you.
I've never yelled at
you in my entire life.
What's wrong?
Why are you marrying me?
Um...
Because you're awesome
and I love you.
Don't you think
it's irresponsible
to jump into a marriage
for reasons like that?
Okay...
what's going on?
Talk to me.
I think you should know
that I...
might not be a very good mother.
Okay, well, I think that you
might be wrong about that.
I just want you to be fully...
I want you to be aware...
I'm saying that I
wouldn't blame you...
Do you understand?
No, not really.
What are you saying?
That you're not going
to be a good mother
to the children that
we don't even have yet?
Exactly.
What if I don't
know what I'm doing,
as a parent?
But that's the whole point.
Nobody knows what they're doing.
You figure it out,
and whatever
happens, we do together.
It's not like anything
is all on you.
But what if don't...
What if I don't want kids?
Um...
You don't?
I don't know.
But what if I don't?
Would you still
want to marry me?
You didn't answer.
No, I didn't.
When is Dad going
to call that lawyer?
I don't know,
but he's saying he
wants to do it himself,
which scares me.
Hey, David.
Would you make that delicious
eggs benny with crab meat
for brunch instead of breakfast?
I can make it happen.
You're a good man.
I'll be out on the porch
if anyone wants to join me
in a game of backgammon.
Ah, you're ready to take on
the Backgammon Master, huh?
One question before we start...
How do you play this game?
Why are you here?
- What do you mean?
- I mean,
you bought a giant bungalow
that has an indoor
swimming pool,
and probably a tennis
court and a bowling alley.
But only duck pin.
Again, why are you here?
I like it here.
I like the people,
I like the activity.
There's always something
going around here.
My place is so...
quiet.
Lonely?
I had dinner with
Jess and David,
and Kevin and Sarah.
No, I... I crashed their dinner,
I guess, yeah.
But I had a great
time, you know?
They were so much fun,
and they knew
each other so well.
It was like...
Family?
Yeah.
I never really had that.
Oh. I'm sorry.
Don't be.
It made me who I am today.
All right.
Backgammon...
Take the little dice,
and put it in the little cup.
I am all ears.
Well, we're ready to begin.
Is your lawyer going to be
gracing us with his presence?
I'll be representing myself.
How nice.
Hello, everyone.
Connor...
there's no reason
for you to be here.
Oh, don't mind me,
I'm just observing.
Connor...
If Mr. O'Brien wants to observe,
let him observe.
Mr. O'Brien, we want
you to understand
that Paul Dilpher respects you,
and he wants to
come to an agreement
that can end quickly.
There's no point going down
a hard and difficult road here.
And what does this
agreement look like?
Because right
now, it looks to me
like I'm being set
up to be the fall guy
for Paul Dilpher.
It's not personal, Mick.
It's just business.
Oh, it's very personal.
You're trying to destroy me
and my reputation.
Mr. O'Brien, just hear us out.
No, you hear me out.
I have proof
that several of the contracts
Mr. Dilpher claims I signed
are, in fact, forgeries.
Consequently, I'm going
to make you an offer.
Wonderful.
Let's get to it.
It's a one-time-only offer,
and it expires in five minutes.
We're all ears.
I will walk away
from all of this
if Mr. Dilpher will sign
a document right now
stating that he lied
about my involvement,
and if he apologizes
profusely
and publicly
for implicating me in
his illegal transactions.
We thought you were
coming to your senses.
This is Leonard
Shakley and Associates,
builders in California.
This is Gross and Madden,
builders in Wisconsin.
Smith and Sons,
Oregon.
It seems they, too,
found discrepancies in
Mr. Dilpher's contracts.
That's very interesting,
but...
I have some documents here, too.
A personal communication
between your children,
Mr. Connor O'Brien and
Mrs. Abby O'Brien-Winters.
In it,
they claim that they believe
their father is not innocent.
You have no right
to go through my
personal correspondence
and steal documents.
I knew you would
speak up eventually.
Anything written on company time
is a work product.
This was found in
the garbage here.
Linda, that was
locked in my desk.
We'll have to agree
to disagree on that one.
"Abby, I'm so worried about Dad.
Who knows what he
knew or when he knew it?
I feel like he should
just take responsibility
for anything he was a part of.
After all,
he was the one who
raised us to tell the truth."
Wait...
what's on the second
page of that letter?
The second page?
That's right.
Because, as I said,
that was locked in my desk,
and it was a first draft
on the firm's stationary...
that I notarized
and mailed to myself
here at the firm.
"I feel it is his duty
to tell the truth...
about who ate
Gran's coffee cake.
We all deserved to enjoy it,
and he selfishly ate
more than his share,
leaving just crumbs.
Connor."
I'm sorry, Connor,
I just...
I just can't resist
Mom's coffee cake.
I find it shocking
that people who are
supposed to be my colleagues
would go through my
personal correspondence.
I have no choice
but to offer my
resignation immediately,
which I happen to have on me.
I quit.
These documents prove
that Dilpher forged
Mr. O'Brien's signature
on 24 separate contracts,
and this letter proves
that this law firm spied
on a junior associate
in an attempt to get
intel on his family.
You should be
ashamed of yourselves.
I'll be reporting this
to the Bar Association.
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
That's my son,
the lawyer.
Well, we did it.
Yes, we did.
I'm very proud of you, Connor.
That was a brave thing you
did, quitting your job like that.
I don't know.
I couldn't have
kept working here.
What are you going to do now?
I hadn't really
thought about it.
Except I'm done
working for big law firms.
I want to practice law,
that's why I became a lawyer.
Then why don't you?
What am I going to do,
hang up my shingle in
Chesapeake Shores?
Connor O'Brien, attorney-at-law?
Sure. Why not?
We just wanted a second opinion.
Which is very wise,
and I have to tell you,
the news is not that bad.
But I do have endometriosis,
and I read something like
40% percent of women
with endometriosis
have problems conceiving?
For every bit of
real information
you can find on the Internet,
you can also get led down a
rabbit hole of misinformation
and doom and gloom.
That's what I warned you about.
You did it, too.
I know, but...
Everybody does it.
Just don't believe the worst.
Now, how long have
you been trying?
A couple months.
I say you give it
at least six months
before we consider
other options.
That shouldn't be
too hard, should it?
No.
What other options?
Well, we could consider IUI,
intrauterine insemination,
or we may have to use surgery
to remove the
endometrial growths,
but let's just focus on the now.
And remember,
many women who
have your condition
are able to have
healthy, full-term babies.
Don't worry.
The bottom line is, we're
going to get through it,
and I'm going to be with
you every step of the way.
I know, but...
But what?
This isn't me,
I'm not a worrier.
So?
So why am I so
worried about this?
I mean, I run into
burning buildings
without giving it
a second thought,
but this?
This just stresses me out.
Because you can't control it.
I promise you, Sarah, we're
going to get through this.
[♪♪♪]
Hey.
Hey.
I'm sorry
about what I said yesterday.
Did you mean it?
I don't know.
I'm not sure.
Look, I'm not sure either,
but I know I want
to be with you...
and...
I'd like to have kids.
But if you don't
want to, then...
I guess I'm just going
to have to deal with that.
I love you,
and I'm not saying I
definitely don't want kids.
I'm just saying
the idea scares
the heck out of me.
Yeah, well, it is...
it's pretty scary.
Yeah.
[♪♪♪]
Hey.
I'll see you at the
finish line, Mom.
May the best woman win, darling.
All right, guys.
Keep the pace, we
can win this thing.
And remember, it's
not about winning.
It's about taking part.
[laughing]
Good one.
You're funny.
We're O'Briens,
it's all about winning.
- [rowdy cheering]
- See ya out there.
- Okay.
- We've gotta beat them.
[Megan] Good luck, girls!

[applause]
Roll in, everybody.
And now,
I'd like to present
our beloved Fire
Captain, Roger Gahagan.
Come on up here, Roger!
[applause]
Thank you.
Well, thank you very much.
We raised enough money
for a brand-new fire truck.
[cheering and applause]
Yes. Isn't that fantastic?
And since we have
a new fire truck...
I think it's time we
had a new Captain.
That's right,
I'm stepping down.
Retiring.
I think, uh...
I think it's time to
take it easy for a while.
Thank you to everyone.
It's been a great ride.
[applause and cheers]
Thank you, everybody.
[woman] Thank you.
Thank you.
I love you.
[Mick] So I said, you tell me.
[laughing]
[tapping glass]
All right, everybody,
I'd like to make a toast
to all of these fine
athletes here today.
- Cheers!
- Well done.
Especially to Mom.
You really brought it.
Thank you, son,
and I also brought Epsom Salts.
I am soaking in
a hot tub tonight.
Everything hurts.
[laughter]
I'd also like to
make another toast
- to Connor and Abby.
- Yes.
The Dilpher case against
me has been dropped,
and criminal charges
are being been brought
against Paul
Dilpher as we speak.
Hear, hear!
- All right.
- Cheers.
Well, we knew it
would work out, Dad.
Not without you guys.
I've also made a very
important decision
regarding the wedding.
Oh, you don't want any gifts?
[laughter]
No, I want gifts. Lots of gifts.
- That's not it.
- Got it.
I would like Abby to
be my Maid of Honor
and Bree, to officiate.
I'd be honored.
Didn't you marry Brian and Scott
back in Chicago?
I did, yeah,
but I'm not registered
here in Maryland.
Oh, wait. Wait, wait.
I can help with that.
Click there.
Okay.
And now you are,
and you owe me $50.
Put it on my tab.
I'm never gonna see that.
This is going to be great!
[gasps] Wait, if I'm
your Maid of Honor,
does that mean
I get to throw you a
Bachelorette Party?
Uh-oh.
Should I be worried?
Very worried.
[laughter]
[cheering]
