Cedar Cove (2013–2015): Season 1, Episode 13 - Homecoming - full transcript

The Christmas Season has arrived in Cedar Cove and though Jack and Olivia are happy to be reunited, Jack is desperate to talk to his still-missing son Eric about Eric's impending fatherhood. Meanwhile, Justine is asked to help the FBI make a case against Warren and Grace tries to heat up her relationship with Cliff.

Previously on Cedar Cove...

You're buying a restaurant?

[Seth]: It's gonna keep me
here in Cedar Cove, with you.

I want to sign up
for riding lessons.

I'll see you
at the ranch, then.

[Jack]: The last time
the Feds were in town,

they were asking
about Warren Saget.

I found some photos
in Shelly's room.

That's Eric, right?
Jack's son?

Hi.

You said you had something
to tell me that was urgent?



Yeah. Sit down.

You know the young girl

that's working at Moon's?

Shelly?

The girl with the great voice?

Yes. She's not
here by accident.

She's here to see you.

Me?

Peggy found some photos

of Shelly and Eric in her room.

My Eric?

Jack...

Eric's gonna have a baby.

Eric can't have a baby.
He is a baby.



He's your baby,
but he is all grown up.

[Sighs]

I think she came here

looking for Eric.

Ohh...

[Heavy sigh]

She probably thinks

that I can force Eric
to do the right thing.

Olivia...

I have no idea where Eric is.

When I was in Philadelphia,
I talked to his mother.

She doesn't know where he is.

I left word for him with anybody
that I could think of.

I don't know what to do.

He's probably really scared.

This means that
when he was here,

he was reaching out to me
about this,

and all I did is I berated him
about getting a job,

about being a grown-up,
I didn't...

Don't beat yourself up.

You had no idea what
he was going through.

He will find his way back here.

I talked to Shelly.

You have to know...

She's thinking about
giving the baby up

for adoption.

Did she tell you why?

I don't think she wants to,

I just think she's overwhelmed

with the idea of
the responsibility

and having to do this
all by herself.

I need to talk to her.

Jack...

I love you, Jack Griffith.

[♪]

I love you, Olivia Lockhart.

Oh.

[♪]

[Justine]: I don't understand.
Why are you here?

[Agent]:
I just want to ask you

a few questions
about Warren Saget.

Warren?
What about him?

Troy, what's going on?

It's not about you, Justine.

He just needs some information

about Warren, that's all.

Yeah, if you don't
want to talk to me,

you do not have to,
you're not under arrest.

Arrest?
Why would I be under arrest?

How much do you know
about Warren's business?

He's in real estate.
He buys and sells properties.

He builds homes
and office buildings.

Did he ever introduce you
to any of his business partners?

Warren doesn't have partners.

He doesn't trust anyone.

He needs to have full control
over every aspect of his life.

Oh, he has partners.

They give him lots of money to
invest in small towns like this,

undeclared money that can't
be traced back to them,

doesn't show up
in any books anywhere.

Money laundering?

- That's part of it.
- Okay.

He didn't tell me
about his business,

and I didn't ask.

Maybe you overheard
some conversations,

you know, uh, saw something?

I don't know

what he did or
what you think he did,

but he never stole from me,
he never hurt me...

I almost married him.

Well, that wasn't
gonna happen, was it?

What do you mean?

Who's that?

That's Warren Saget's wife.

Cedar Cove 01x13
Homecoming
Originally Aired October 12, 2013

Hey, Eric, it's me, dad.

Uh, please call me
when you get this, okay?

I just want you to know
that I'm here for you,

and I'll help you
any way that I can.

[Sighs]

Shelly's here.

She's staying
at the Thyme And Tide,

and, uh...

It's time for you
to step up, son.

It's time for you
to take responsibility.

It's not
just about you anymore.

I'm here for you,

but you need to call me.

I love you, son. Bye.

[Seth]: Warren's married?

[Justine]: That's not all.

The agent wouldn't
tell me everything,

but from what he did say...

Warren's using the money

from the sale of properties
in New York and Chicago,

and reinvesting it
in small towns,

where the titles
can't be traced,

and he doesn't pay
capital gain taxes.

He owns a dozen different
properties in town

under a dozen different
corporate names.

He owned a huge housing complex
in New York

that suspiciously burned down
after he sold it,

but he collected the insurance.

So he's not just a bad guy,

he's a dangerous guy.

You know how he
saved the lighthouse

as a gift to the town?

Yeah.

It's a lie.

My mom got

a group of philanthropists
to buy 80%,

and she put up the last 20%
with her own money.

The only reason
that Warren agreed

was if she promised
not to tell anyone,

so that he would look
like a hero.

- That agent told you that?
- Yeah.

Troy didn't even know.

Now, what are we supposed
to do in the meantime?

He wants us to pretend
like we don't know anything.

He didn't even
want me to tell you,

but I told him that I love you,

and we're together,

and that's it.

Thanks.

How did you guys find out
that it was Eric's baby?

It's a small town.

Shelly, do you
know where he is?

No. I have no idea.

I thought he was here with you.

Well, he was
for a little while.

He always talked about
coming here someday.

He really wanted
a relationship with you.

We were working on it.

Then he left, right?
That's what he does.

When he's scared
or he's confronted,

he just bolts.

Did he know about the baby?

We'd just had
the first ultrasounds.

I think
actually seeing the baby

made it real.

He got scared.

He didn't think
he'd be a good dad.

He didn't feel like
he had anything to offer a baby.

[Sighs]

He told me we should
give it up for adoption,

and I got really mad,

and I said
"if that's the way you feel,

then you should leave,

and I'll raise her by myself,"
and he left the next day.

After he'd been gone a while,
though,

I realized Eric was right.

We are too young.
We have nothing to offer a baby.

You know,
the baby deserves to have

parents that can provide
for her.

Listen, Shelly,
I just want you to know

that you're not alone in this.

I'm going to find
an amazing family

that can raise her and give her

the life that she deserves.

I hope you'll still help me
with the legal side of it.

I'll do what I can.

Thank you so much
for... for talking to me

and-and offering to help,

but I've made my decision,

and...
[Takes a slow breath]

Now I... I need
to get back to work.

[Sighs heavily]

We have to find Eric.

Don't worry, we will.

He and Shelly, they
need to talk about this,

about what's best for the baby.

You're right.

She doesn't want
to do it alone.

No.

[Bob]: Jack and Olivia.

You know, I kind of like
the sound of that.

"Jack and Olivia."
"Olivia and Jack."

[All laughing]

Does this mean I get
my old fishing buddy back?

You know, why do
I get the feeling

you knew I'd be back to stay

even before I did?

Because I have
something you don't...

Perspective.

Ahh.

Did you get a chance
to speak to Shelly?

Yeah, we did, we just saw her.

She's such a sweet girl.

Good.

More lights?

I drove by your house.

You already have enough
to light up the city.

Oh, Olivia.

You can never have
too many lights.

You know, I am committed
to making our city

the most beautiful,
spectacular...

- Save it.
- Great...

I'm not on the judging
committee this year.

Never mind.

[All laughing]

See you, Bob.

Bye.

[♪]

I love this.

You're becoming a real cowgirl.

I know.

Come on, I'll race you.

You're on!

[♪♪]

Hi-yah!

[Whinnying]

Yee-haw!

Was that amazing or what?

Oh, my gosh.

Either I'm a great teacher

or you're a natural.

Honey, you are
a fabulous teacher,

and I'm having
the time of my life.

I'm glad.

So what I'm thinking is,

I should make you dinner
as a thank-you gift.

Grace, I'm, uh...

Okay, I'm not gonna push it.
Just saying.

I'm give you
as much time as you need

to think about it.

[Gate creaks]

So?

Did you think about it?

See, I'm thinking

dinner, my place, Friday.

I'd like that very much.

Great. I will see you
at 7:00.

[♪]

This is exciting!

I'm friends with the owners

of the hot new restaurant
in town.

I hope you're right.

Of course I'm right.

I'm really happy
for you and Seth.

Thank you. You know,
I was thinking

we could display
the work of new artists

in the restaurant to
help promote the gallery.

That would be amazing.

Still no luck with John?

No. I've been searching
everywhere in Seattle,

but I'm not giving up.

I have a few more leads
I'm going to check out.

[Telephone rings]

Eric?

Who's Eric?

Oh, hey, Mike.

Sorry I missed
your call earlier.

What's up, man?
When are you coming back?

[Sighing]
Uh... I'm not.

I've decided to stay.

Don't play with me, man.

I wouldn't joke about
something like this.

Listen, Mike, I, uh...

I'm just in a different place
in my life right now.

Are you kidding me?

Do you know what I had to do

to get people to even think
about hiring you again?

I know.
I appreciate that.

I stuck my neck
out for you, man!

I know. I'm sorry.

Look, you walk away from this,
that's it.

No one in this town's
gonna touch you.

I realize that.

And for what, huh?

A woman?

Yes, Mike. For a woman.

So pack her up
and bring her home with you.

Well, you see,
that's just the thing.

She and I, we already are home.

Let me ask you a question.

Why would you leave Philadelphia

to live in a town
where nothing ever happens, huh?

Well, um...

I'm gonna have to get
back to you on that one.

Yeah. You do that.

[Sighs]

[♪]

[Jack]: What is it
about small-town life

that draws people in
and keeps them there?

Big-city life is more exciting.

More happens every day,

and it happens
at a faster speed

with greater fanfare
and more colors.

There's less time for worry
and contemplation.

Neighbors mind
their own business

and connecting happens
in cyberspace.

But that isn't what happens
in a small town.

[Register error beeping]

[Beep]

You okay?

Yeah. I'm just trying to
figure out what I'm doing wrong.

This... this drawer won't open.

[Beeping]

[Drawer clacks and opens]

I used to work here.

I'm Justine.

- I'm Shelly.
- Welcome.

I think you'll really
like it here.

I already do.
Moon's amazing.

- He is.
- What can I get you?

Vanilla latte.
On the house.

- Coming right up.
- Thank you.

So, you finally found
someone to replace me?

Aw, there's no one
can replace you.

You and Shelly each present
your own unique aura.

Well, in her case, two auras.

But I understand

congratulations are in order.

You and Seth
opening a restaurant?

I promise, we're not gonna steal
any of your business.

No, I just, uh, just
wanted to give you something.

It's beautiful.

It's "Fu."

Fu?

[Enunciating]: "Fu."

Chinese symbol
for good fortune.

You hang onto that,

and you're good to go.

Thank you, Moon.

Aw. [Chuckles]

[Kissing]

[Peggy]:
Oh! Be careful up there!

I will.

Well, if it isn't
the head judge

of the Christmas
decorating committee.

[Charlotte]: Just thought

I'd stop by and see
how it's coming along.

The pyramids didn't
take this long to build.

He's an artist.
These things take time.

Michelangelo took four years
to paint the sistine chapel.

[Charlotte chuckles]

It's looking really nice, Bob.

It's nowhere near finished.

Okay, good.

I was just over
at Edna Stanton's house.

Her display is
spectacular this year.

[Bulbs rattling]

You're creating a monster here.

All in good fun.

"Spectacular," huh? Hah!

[Siren wailing in the distance]

She put in all of her savings?

Everything she's ever
squirreled away,

from babysitting to Moon's

to the gallery.

Wow. That's pretty...

Risky. I know.

Well, I was gonna say bold.

You're right.

And she's very happy,

and now Seth doesn't
have to go away

on those long trips.

Well, I think it's great.

People in love,

they need to be together.

Well, I agree.

Mm.

Oh. I, um...

Bought you something.

A little early
Christmas present.

[Laughs]

Ohh!

I love it.

It's a little bit of you...

The scales of justice,

and a little of us,
the unsinkable canoe.

Hopefully we can
add to it over time.

That's the most
thoughtful present

anyone's ever given me.

[♪]

Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas.

[♪]

Do you think I'm a bad person

for giving up my baby?

Quite the contrary, actually.

I think you're doing
what good mothers do.

You're doing what you think
is best for your child.

I was adopted.

You were?

Yep.

So did you hate your mom
for giving you up?

No. Not really.

I mean, I always wondered
who she was.

When I was a youngster,

I used fantasize about her
coming back to get me one day.

As I got older,
I realized that,

well, I just couldn't
imagine a better life

or finer parents
than the ones I already had.

So you never went to find her?

Well, I remember
hearing once that, uh,

we actually choose our parents
before we're born.

I believe that.

So you chose someone
who didn't keep you?

Well, I was, you know,
up there...

In the clouds,

and, uh, I pointed
at my birth mother and I said,

"I want that woman
to be my mother."

But then I pointed to my mom,

and I said,
"I want her to raise me."

I made that choice,

and I knew what I was doing.

[♪]

Bob!

There's someone
in Shelly's room!

- What?
- There's somebody in there.

- Are you sure?
- Yes.

Well, it's Shelly.

No. She left
an hour ago.

Be careful.

Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh.

Jack.

Hey, Bob.

Thank you.

[Jack sighs]

Hey.

Hey.

You know, you didn't need
to sneak around like that.

You could've just
knocked on the front door,

or better yet,
you could've come to my house.

I just want to
talk to her alone.

I don't need you judging me.

Oh. [Sighs]

Eric, I'm not judging you.

I'm not.

I just want to help you, son.

I want to help both of you
be responsible parents.

I am being responsible.

I told her we should put
the baby up for adoption,

and she kicked me out.

She's scared.
That's all.

Try to see this
from her perspective.

Imagine how alone
she must feel right now.

Where is she?

Well, she got a job at Moon's.

She's singing there as well.

She has the most amazing voice.

I know.

Eric!

Hi.

Hi.

[♪]

[Door creaks open]

Hey. Wow!

You've done a lot of work,
Justine.

This place looks nice.

Yeah, um,

we've got a lot of plans
for the place.

So when's
the big grand opening?

In the new year.
Hoping for February.

Fantastic.

I'll make sure
to book my reservation early.

So where's Seth?

He'll be back any minute.

He does that a lot, doesn't he?

He just disappears?

I'm kidding!

It's not funny.

Justine, look, I wish you guys
the of best luck with the place.

I do. I hope
it's a huge success.

Okay? I'm not lying
about that, either.

I hate lies.

As a matter of fact,
I hate liars, don't you?

Yeah.

I think in the end,
liars get what they deserve.

Looks great.

[Door creaks shut]

Part of me realized
you were right,

but still I couldn't
imagine giving up our baby.

I know.

I got a good job in Seattle.

It's decent money,
so I can pay for your rent,

and the doctor visits,
and everything.

I really like your dad.

He's a lot like you.

I'm nothing like him.

He's been really nice to me,

and his friend, Olivia,
is helping with the adoption.

That's good.

How do you feel?

[Laughing]

Pretty good.

I'm not sick

in the mornings anymore.

Can I...?

Yeah.

I'm sorry
I've been out of touch.

I just figured
that's the way you wanted it.

I really missed you.

I missed you too.

[FBI agent]:
He threatened you?

[Justine]: I don't know.

He was talking about
how much he hates liars,

but it's more the way
he looked at me

when he said it.

Right. He may
just be fishing.

He knows I'm around,
and I haven't tried to hide it.

I still need him
to sweat a bit, though.

Do you think you could
talk to him again?

Maybe he'll slip up,
give you some information.

Sure.

Do you think
she's in any danger?

Oh, he's not that
kind of dangerous,

and he knows I'm watching him.

[♪]

[Knocking at door]

[♪]

Hi! Come on in.

It's cold out there.

Yeah.

You look beautiful.

Really? Thank you.

[Paper rustles]

I brought those for you.

Aww.

Oh, these are beautiful.

Thank you.

I feel like maybe
I should go home and change.

You look stunning.

Oh, no, no, no, no!
This old thing?

That I bought today after
trying on 20 other dresses?

You bought a dress for tonight?

I did, and I got
something else to tell you.

I even had my hair done.

Full disclosure.

Whole truth, nothing but.

Are you having a party?

[Laughs] No.
It's just you and me.

I couldn't decide what to make,

so I just thought I'd make

everything I could think of.

[Laughs]

Well, it's very fancy.

I'll be right back.

[Quietly]: Wow.

[Exhales] Okay.

So, you grab
those wine glasses...

And follow me.

All right.

Better?

Better.

[Groans quietly]: Oh...

You'll get used to it.

What?

You're sore from
sitting on that horse.

You'll get used to it.

Well, I hope so,

because I slept with
an ice pack

on my butt after
the first two lessons.

Oh, too much full disclosure?

[Laughing] No.

Cheers!

[Clink]

What are you doing?

Helping.

Do you know that
in 26 years of marriage,

I don't remember
my husband ever doing that once.

Well, then, I'm sorry to say,

but your husband was an idiot.

Back up.

I'm sorry, but it's the truth.

I said back up.

One more step.

Okay.

Look at that.
Mistletoe.

♪ Oh, night

♪ oh, night divine

♪ oh, night

♪ divine

♪ oh, night

♪ oh, night divine

[applauding]

[Chuckling] Whoa.

Your voice.

You remind me of Sandy Denny.

Sorry, who?

Only one of the greatest
folk singers that ever lived.

I don't know her.

Aw, come on! Sandy Denny?

Fairport convention?

Uh... [stammers]

The Strawbs? Uh...

Fotheringay? And...

She was the only guest singer

that Led Zeppelin
ever recorded with!

[Pained gasp]

[Continues gasping]

Whoa, whoa...

Are you okay?

Yeah, yeah.

I think I'm just cramping.

- [Cries out in pain]
- Whoa, whoa, whoa!

- Somebody call 911!
- [Shelly gasping]

Breathe. Breathe.

[Jack]:
Small towns are like families.

The people come together
when they need each other.

They walk in

when everyone else
is walking out.

Like a family,

they fight and yell and argue,

but at the end of the day,

living in a small town
means being connected

to something bigger
than just yourself.

[Jack sighs]

Any change?

No.

She's gonna be okay.

I hope you're right.

Can I get you anything else?

No.

Okay.

Hey, dad?

Yeah?

What am I supposed to do?

I got nothing to offer her.

Oh, yes, you do.

You have everything
that she needs right now.

You're here

and you care.

You... are gonna make
a great dad.

I don't know how to be a dad.

I have no idea what to do.

You're doing it now.

You're showing up.

That's the first step.

And after that...

[Exhales deeply]

You just take it
one step at a time.

I hope you're right.

I believe in you.

And I know, you and I,

we have some gaps
to fill in, and...

Some time to make up for,

but we'll get there.

We'll see.

[♪]

Warren.

Hey.

What're you...
What are you doing here?

What's going on with you?

I'm not following.
What're you talking about?

The FBI came to see me today.

Oh. Wow, the FBI.

That's interesting.
What'd they have to tell you?

Not much. He just asked me
a lot of questions about you,

and about your business,

who you talk to,
and where you go.

Justine, he's fishing.
That's all.

Look, when you own as many
properties as I do,

the government feels the need

to keeps tabs on you.

They want to grab every last
penny they can out of you.

So it's nothing?

No, of course not.

Guy's been following
me around for days.

They're just trying
to intimidate me.

Obviously I've done
nothing illegal,

so they can't charge me
with anything, right?

So when
they wear themselves out,

they'll go home.

It's fine.

You know...

He asked me
about your partners.

I told him you don't have any.

That's true, right?

Yeah.

That guy that you used
to talk to all the time...

Sam something, from New York?

Sam? He's harmless, trust me.
He's my broker.

Okay.

Because he asked me if
you ever used my phone

to make calls,

and I told him that you did.

So he asked if he
could see my bill,

and I didn't want

to do anything
that would hurt you.

And I appreciate that.

Thank you.

Well, I'll... see you.

Have a good night, okay?

[Phone beeps]

[♪♪]

Peggy!

[Door opens]

Peg! Come on out here.
You gotta see this.

Coming!

Come on
and stand down here beside me

for the full effect.

Wait! Do I need
special glasses

so I don't burn my retinas?

Are you excited
to see this or not?

[Laughing] Yes.

Here?

Let 'er rip.

[♪♪]

[Gasps quietly] Oh...

Bob.

It's stunning.

[Chuckles] Yeah.

It's just magical!

Yeah.

Take that, Edna Stanton.

[Sadly]: Oh.

What?

Charlotte was telling
me about Edna today,

how much this contest
means to her.

She lives alone, no family.

Nothing to look forward to

except this.

It's kind of sad.

Don't you have
some more baking to do?

Oh, yes, I do.

Good job.

[♪♪]

[Justine]: He's too smart
to say anything to me.

He would never say anything
to incriminate himself,

but at least
I rattled him a little,

got him worried.

I did some research
online today.

What'd you find out?

If the FBI arrests Warren,

they're going to seize
all his bank accounts

and all of his properties,

and they could
stay frozen indefinitely,

which means the restaurant

will be closed and boarded up

until they have something
to charge him with.

So we could lose everything?

Exactly.

[Distant sirens wailing]

John!

Maryellen,
what are you doing here?

You look...

tired.

Is everything okay?

Yeah. Yeah, I'm fine.

You been following me?

No.

I was here on business

and I saw a picture
hanging in a gallery.

It's the one you took of me.

Look...

I know I pushed you too far.

What happened between
you and your parents

is your business.

I'll never mention them again,

but, John... [sighs]

You can't keep running away.

I'm not running away.

I'm just trying
to live my life.

Is this the life
you want to live?

A life where no one

ever gets close enough
to know you?

A life where you run away
from anyone who tries?

I'm so sick of
people judging me

when they find out
where I've been.

I'm so tired of

proving to people that
I'm not a bad guy.

I never judged you!

I never asked you
to prove anything.

All I did was care about you.

You don't understand.

You're right,
I don't understand.

I don't understand why
you're punishing yourself

for the mistakes
your parents made.

I'm not punishing myself,
I'm protecting myself.

From what? From me?

I don't want to hurt you.
I care about you.

You don't know me.

You try to hide who you are,
but I still see you.

You're a good man.

You're gentle
and kind and talented.

You deserve more.

You deserve more!
You deserve to be happy.

You need to stop running.

John...

Please, Maryellen,
just leave me alone.

You need to forgive your family

and take your life back!

It's not about my family!

You think you know everything
that's going on with me,

Maryellen, but you don't,
you don't know anything.

You don't have a clue.

I want to.

I care about you, Maryellen.

I care about you so much

that I want to keep you safe.

The only way I can do that...

is if I keep you
out of my life.

[♪♪]

[Peggy]:
Just got the call!

Charlotte and the other judges
have left Edna's.

They should be here any minute.

[Jack]:
Small towns don't have

museums and symphonies.

The night life ends
before midnight,

and five-star restaurants
are nowhere to be found,

but what you will find

are open doors and open hearts.

What are you doing?

Giving Edna Stanton
her one shining moment.

[♪]

[Jack]: People
look out for one another,

and community...

well, community
matters most of all.

I can't believe

you didn't tell me any of this.

The agent told me not to.

I can't believe that you didn't

tell me about the lighthouse.

I had to promise
Warren I wouldn't.

I knew he was a con artist.

I had no idea
he was a criminal.

I should have!
He has shifty eyes.

Well, it sounds like

this agent is close
to arresting him.

How's Shelly doing?

I know that Moon was
really worried about her.

Better! I just talked
to Eric an hour ago...

[Flames roaring]

[♪♪]

[Explosion]

[Rubble clatters]

Well...
Nothing definitive,

but the arson investigator
says it's looking like

the fire was set deliberately.

I knew there was no way

Warren would let us
open this place.

We never should've
done business with him.

[Troy]:
Now, hold on, you two!

Let the investigators
do their job.

Don't go speculating.

I'm not speculating!

I know exactly who did this,
and so do you.

Warren Saget.

If that's true,

then let the law handle it.

I don't want you doing anything
that's gonna get you

into trouble,
you understand me?

[Sighs]

Warren!

Hey, guys.
Merry Christmas.

How could you do this?

Do what?

You started that fire.

Guys, what fire?

You burned down our restaurant!

Okay, what?

Don't act like you don't know!

Come on, Justine, please,
wait a second.

This makes no sense.

Guys, I had nothing
to do with this.

Don't you ever
get tired of lying?

I didn't burn down
your restaurant! Please!

Then who did?

Seth, I have no idea.
Obviously, I'm being framed.

Let's go.

Justine!
It's Christmas!

Why would I even think about
doing something like that?

[Stammers]

Warren Saget?

You are under arrest.

Look, I had nothing
to do with this.

- This is ridiculous.
- I know, and I don't care.

You have the right
to remain silent.

Anything you say
can and will be used...

I understand, okay?

- Oh, you know the drill.
- Yes.

Hands down,
worst Christmas ever.

We're going to get
through this, Seth.

One way or another,

we're gonna open
this restaurant.

[Equipment humming]

[Saws whirring,
hammers pounding]

They're here!

[Everyone]: Hey!

[All cheering]

Merry Christmas!

What are you guys
all doing here?

Well, we made a few calls,

and Jack put a special edition
of The Chronicle online.

Merry Christmas, sweetheart!

Thank you, Grandma.

Hey, don't worry, you two,

we're gonna this place back in
shape in no time. Right, Bob?

Piece of cake.

Oh! Speaking of cake,
I managed to save some

from my cookie monster
over there.

Help yourself.

[Everyone laughing]

I can't believe you guys
are all doing this.

Oh, honey, it's Cedar Cove.

When someone's in trouble,
we pitch in.

Rally the troops.
[Revs his drill]

Yeah, but it's Christmas day.

Exactly!

All the more reason
to help out.

Come here, you.

Thank you.

Honey, you're gonna
have your dream.

We're gonna
save your restaurant.

But now we have
a tree to decorate!

- Oh!
- Yeah!

[All cheering]

Hey.

Hi.

What are you doing here?

Isn't it Christmas?

Where else would I be?

You're doing great,
and so is the baby.

I sent everybody home
to get some rest.

You should go home
and get some rest too.

I want to be here
with my family.

Oh! Hey! Ahem.

I got you a present.

Merry Christmas.

[Gasps sharply]

You okay?

- [She cries out]
- Shelly!

[Groaning intensely]

Oh, no, no, no, Shelly!

Talk to me...

Shelly...

Nurse!

- [Monitor beeping rapidly]
- Nurse! Help me! Help me!

Blood pressure's crashing!

- What's going on?
- Sir, you need to step outside.

What's going...
What's happening to her?

Sir, please wait outside!

Tell me what is going on!

[Cart approaching]

[All talking at once]

- Take an endo measurement.
- Pull the pillow.

Let's get the heartbeat
monitor on the baby.

- 02 bag.
- Prepping the crash cart.

- Starting pitocin drip.
- I'm on it.

B.P. dropping fast.
