Cedar Cove (2013–2015): Season 1, Episode 8 - And the Winner Is... - full transcript

- Previously, on Cedar Cove...
- Ladies.

He likes you.

You should come out sometime.

How'd it go?

You should let him
come after you.

Sit back and do nothing?

I lost a brother.

And a father.

Stan just ran away and hid.

I've been seeing a therapist.

Better late than never.



[♪♪]

[Charlotte]: You do want
to come to this event.

Save your money and show up.

You'll have a lot of fun.

Yes, please come
to our bachelor auction.

It's once a year.

It's a good cause
for pet adoption, okay?

Sorry, Charlotte.
Can't talk right now.

I'm extremely busy.

What's another word
for "insignificant"?

Inconsequential?

Perfect.

"Nothing is happening
in Cedar Cove.

"The news of the day
is inconsequential."



Now I'm done.

What can I do for you?

I want to place an ad
in the paper.

Ah, so this is
a business meeting.

Ah... a bachelor auction?

You're selling bachelors?

Is that even legal
in this state?

It's a charity event.

Single ladies bid
on eligible gentlemen

for a night out in Cedar Cove.

I see.

Proceeds go
to the animal shelter's

pet-adoption program.

It's a fun afternoon.

Fun for whom?

The vulnerable men

who leave themselves
open to rejection

or the sad, desperate women

who have to pay
for companionship?

The men have a lot of fun.

They enjoy being bid on.

It makes them feel special.

But, Charlotte, what if
nobody bids on them?

Trust me...

you don't have
anything to worry about.

What? Me?

No, no, no, no, no.

That is so not happening.

I will gladly make a donation.

I will put this
in tomorrow's paper.

I will even pay
for the ad myself.

Fine. I'll let you
get back to work.

[Jack clears this throat]

Useless.

Hmm? Sorry?

It's another word
for "insignificant."

Right.

[Book slot clacks]

Are those overdue?

Hi!

Don't you sneak out on a fine.

The library police
will hunt you down.

Well, lucky for me,
I'm right on time.

So, have you read
that Louis L’Amour book

I recommended yet?

Half-way through.
It's pretty good.

When you're done,

I have few other books
that might interest you.

Okay, then.

Maybe when I'm done
with the book,

we can get together
and talk about it.

[Forced]: Sure!

Come on by the library and...

We have a book club

that meets Monday nights
that you could join...

It's mostly women, but...

Doesn't have to be
at the library, does it?

No. [Stammers] I... we...

certainly could do that,

go and talk about it
someplace else, yeah.

Library's fine.

[Warren]: Alright, guys,
we need to take down

the height of
the main condo building.

Obviously, the town council
is balking,

say they're not even look at
anything over five stories,

so I had
a brilliant idea, Bill.

Tell me what you think of this.
This is what we're gonna do...

we're gonna make sure,
after our meeting today...

[Trails off]

[♪♪]

Um, where was I?

I wanted to discuss the...
Oh! Right.

I want to reconfigure
the retail space, Bill,

in order to make sure
there's enough room for condos

to go here at the front part
of the building...

[♪♪]

Stan!

Bailiff told me
you were in here.

Yeah. Busy docket
today. What's up?

You know
I've been seeing a therapist.

Yeah. How's that going?

Good. Really good.

I was wondering, hoping,

that you might be willing
to join me at my next session.

- Me?
- Yeah.

Oh, Stan, I am really happy

you're dealing
with your feelings,

and I know it's taken you

a long time to get
to this place,

but I think you need to go
with your wife.

Melanie doesn't know yet.

- Stan!
- I know,

I know,
I should tell her,

and I will, but...

I'm just finally
starting to understand

why I've done what I've done,

I want to feel better.

I want to be
a better father to Justine,

and this would really help.

So...

Just think about it, okay?

[♪]

Cedar Cove 01x08
And The Winner Is
Originally Aired September 7, 2013

[Grace]:
So what did you tell him?

Nothing yet.

You've come so far.

Are you sure

you want to relive
this thing again?

I mean, he was
not there for you

when you needed him.

I know, but
he wasn't ready then.

He was in too much pain.

So were you!
You did it anyway.

You had a daughter
who needed you.

Look, if it's
helping him, I'm glad.

I just don't think
you need to be there.

But he says the main reason he's
doing this is for Justine,

to work on their relationship.

You're a far better
ex-wife than I, my friend.

I've had a lot more
time to practice.

Hmm.

[Frustrated sigh, slaps thigh]

I am not good
at being a single woman.

"Not good"
is an understatement.

I am horrible at it.

What are you talking about?
What happened?

I was having

a perfectly
pleasant conversation

with Cliff Harting,

until he brought up
spending more time together.

He asked you for a date?

Oh, see?
That's what I mean!

There's that word,

and my heart
just skipped a beat.

I am going to have to start
packing along a defibrillator.

[Olivia laughs]

Why don't you
take your own advice?

You told me
to go out with Jack,

and I am having a great time!

Well, I know,

but I just got divorced.

I just think it's too soon

to be jumping into
this whole dating thing.

Who says?

I don't like how I'm feeling.

I want to be bold, strong...
confident.

You can be "Bold, strong,
and confident,"

and still go out and have
a cup of coffee with Cliff.

Tsk.

[♪♪]

[Maryellen]: What if we feature
one artist each month?

Focus attention
on his or her work?

That's a good idea.

We could start with him.

[♪♪]

I don't want him
to think he's special.

You know, there's such a thing
as playing too-hard-to-get.

- You may never be gotten.
- Is that even a word?

John!

Hi.

Hello.

Just starting your shift?

Uh, not yet.
I came in a little early

so that I can read
the apartment listings.

I'm, uh, moving to Cedar Cove.

Really?
[Takes an excited breath]

[Shifts tone]:
Why is that?

Things are going
really good here.

Only makes sense
to be here full-time.

Guess we'll be seeing
a lot more of you, then.

I guess so.

Well...

Good luck finding a place.

I gotta run.

Oh! Will you get this?
I'll buy lunch tomorrow.

Sure you will.

Did I say something
to offend her?

I don't think so.

She's a really great girl.

You should
get to know her better.

Unless you're not interested.

I didn't say that.

Look, I know it's hard
to be the new guy in town,

having to put yourself
out there,

but it's the only way
to get to know anyone.

Let me help you
look for a place.

Hey, Jack.

Hey, Bob.

How's that project
coming along?

Uh, what's the word for that?

Um... slowly.

Yeah, I'm still getting used
to my miter saw.

I'm actually having trouble
lining up my corners perfectly.

- You know?
- Well, don't get frustrated.

Miter cuts don't often
fit on the first try.

Keep adjusting the angle,

quarter of a degree at a time
with each slice.

Alright. [Exhales tensely]

I just want it to be done right.

I know. I know.

Look, you're taking the time
to make something for her.

She's gonna love it,

even if it's not perfect.

[♪♪]

Right.

[♪]

[Gravel crunching]

Judge Lockhart.

Cliff...

Sorry. Olivia.

What brings you out here?

Well, this may
sound crazy, but...

Grace is one of
my dearest friends,

and I just bet the two of you
would really hit it off.

Trust me, I'd take that bet,

but I don't think
she's interested.

Oh, she's interested.

I just think she's a little
skittish after her divorce.

I've tried not to pressure her.

And that's very considerate,

but I think what
she needs right now

is a nudge.

Maybe even a push.

Or a shove.

What'd you have in mind?

Well, I don't know

if you've heard about
the upcoming bachelor auction?

I saw the signs around town.

I thought...

what if you entered the auction?

Give her a chance
to show her interest.

Bachelor auction is just
not really my kind of thing.

It's for a good cause...
pet adoption.

And it might just be the shove
that we're looking for.

Supposing she doesn't
bid on me?

I thought about that.

If she gets cold feet,
I'll bid on you,

gift the date
to the two of you.

[Laughs]

Jack Griffith
is gonna go for that?

You leave Jack to me.

So... what do you say?

I've been to a whole lot of
cattle auctions.

This'll be the first time
I'm the one in the corral.

[♪♪]

Hey, Justine!

Warren.

Hi.

You know, I, uh,

saw you painting
down by the cove yesterday.

Yeah. So beautiful down there.

Kind of opens
the creative floodgates.

You know, I know
exactly what you mean.

I've been spending a lot of time
down there myself, actually.

Speaking of which...

I was wondering
if I could show you something.

This is my latest work of art...

the Cedar Cove Promenade.

Promenade?
Sounds fancy.

Yeah. Hotel,
condos, restaurants.

You can see
there's some shopping

down by the water.

Huh? What
do you think?

Now, of course, we've got
to get town council

to approve construction
and everything,

but, Justine,
the condos are amazing,

and I am going to set
one aside for you,

right down by the water,

so you can finally move
out of that dingy apartment.

Warren, I like
my dingy apartment.

For now, but, uh,

you know, you can do better.

Seth. Hi.

Seth!

Hi.

Warren was just showing me

sketches of
the new waterfront promenade.

Gonna be a hotel and stores.

Stores will screw up
the coastline.

[Chuckles]: Oh?

Yeah, you know, Seth,

you know what happens to people
who get in the way of progress?

They get run over
and left behind.

Good chat.

[♪♪]

Thank you.

[♪]

So how many bachelors
will be on parade?

11 specimens so far.

"Specimens"?

Uh, make that 12.

Moon, you're part of this?

Oh, yeah.
Anything to help a charity.

And if history is any indicator,

I shall be
a rather hot-ticket item.

Really?

And who am I
to deny women all of this?

Moon's winning bid
was $500 last year.

$500?

Someone paid that much money

to have dinner with you?

Yes.

Which is awesome.

Who was she?

Edna Stanton.

The sweet little lady
from the flower shop?

[Moon chuckles] She's got
a little fire left in her yet.

Edna walked out

with four bachelors one year.

Forced us to change
all the rules.

Only one winning bid
per customer.

"Customer."

Right. This doesn't
make you feel cheap?

No. I kind of like being
an object of desire.

There you go.
Bachelor number one. Ha-ha!

Olivia! Jack won't
be in the auction.

Maybe he's afraid
no one'll get him.

Maybe I don't think
anybody could afford me.

Oh, now, that sounds
like a challenge to me.

Now you have to be
in the auction

just to prove Olivia wrong.

You know, I might be willing

to reconsider,

if I were sure
that the right woman

would make the winning bid.

Well, that depends on
how high the bid goes on Moon.

Alright, that's it.

Call me bachelor number 13.

[Calls out]:
It's on, Moon!

[Roars]: Alright! Ha-ha!

Oh, I can't believe
I'm doing this.

This is just so strange,

us coming together now

so long after we split up.

It's nice to see former spouses
who support each other.

We always have.

We have?

Well, maybe not always.

Tell me about that.

Me?

Um, okay.

I'm sorry, I didn't realize
we'd just jump right in.

When were you

not supportive of each other?

At the end of the marriage,
obviously.

We didn't talk much
the last few months of it.

It's why
we're not together anymore.

He wasn't there for me
when I needed him most.

After Jordan's death?

He chose to be alone,

to hide from anything
that reminded him

of...

Our son.

He pulled away

until he just stopped
talking to me.

I was trying to be strong
for you and Justine.

Strong?

You pretended
like nothing happened.

You wouldn't even say his name!

I couldn't fix it.

I couldn't make things better.

There was nothing I could do.

He was gone.

I didn't need you to fix it.

I just needed you
to be there for me,

to talk to me.

Many times, people turn away

from those they love most

when they're hurting.

He cleaned out his room

without even asking me.

He gave away

his clothes,

his books,

his toys...

his little boat.

I thought...

It would make you feel better

if you didn't have
all those reminders.

If you didn't have to
look at all... [voice breaks]

I just...

honestly thought
it would help you.

It didn't.
It made it worse.

I know that now...

I know
that I only hurt you more.

And then you just left.

Any man who can
take a photograph like that

is worth waiting for.

You might be waiting forever

for him to ask you out.

You treat him like he just
got out of quarantine.

She's right!

Men don't like it
when women play games.

Just tell him you like him.

If John is interested,
he can make the first move.

Or...

You can bid on him
at the bachelor auction.

What?

I have played it cool
for weeks,

and you want me to show my cards
in front of the whole town?

Talk about desperate.

I figured you might say that,
so we'll go with plan "B."

I'll bid on him.

But you're supposed to
bid on me.

Oh, Maryellen can win you,
and then we'll switch.

Do you really think
John would be in the auction?

I can persuade him.

But I don't want him to know
that I know what we're doing.

Trust me.
He won't know a thing.

So much for not playing games.

[♪♪]

The day Stan left...

How did that make you feel?

Abandoned.

Alone.

I still do, to some extent.

I never meant to hurt you.

Or Justine.

I tried once to come back.

I don't remember that.

You were so angry, so...

shut off.

I didn't know
how to talk to you anymore,

or how to get past
your disappointment in me.

There's no playbook
for this unspeakable pain.

You both dealt with it
the best way you could.

Yes, Stan retreated
into himself,

and, yes, he didn't give you
what you needed,

but maybe he...
He couldn't.

Maybe he didn't know how.

Maybe he was just doing
the best he could.

[♪]

A bachelor auction?

[Justine]:
It's so much fun!

And the best thing is,

you don't have to say anything.

You just have to look handsome.

And you've got that covered.

Yeah, well, what makes you think
she's gonna bid on me?

She won't.
She'll be too afraid.

- So then why would...
- Don't worry about that!

I've got it all figured out.

I'm gonna bid on you,

and then I will
gift the date to her.

You two go out.

Hopefully, you'll even
talk to each other for once.

Problem?

Nah, no problem.

It's just...

I really don't like being
in front of people.

It's okay.

I'm like that myself sometimes.

But it's for
a really good cause,

and I know
Maryellen would love it.

Just think about it.

[♪]

All the old
pain and resentment came back.

Things I hadn't
dealt with for years.

I had no idea that was
so close to the surface.

Stan actually spoke up?

He's making an effort.

[Grace]:
But did he apologize?

Yes, but I also learned

I was so focused on me,

so focused on what
he didn't give me back then,

I never thought about
what I didn't give him.

Okay, that's good.

But I'm sorry,

I'm not gonna let you
blame yourself.

I was there.

I saw what you went through,

and I'm not gonna watch you
go through it again.

Now, moving on.

Here's what I'm thinking.

What if I hosted the smallest
of small gatherings

for your birthday?

No birthday parties, Grace.

It's just a day
like any other day.

I beg your pardon?

It's the anniversary of
my 23 hours in labor with you.

Oh, 23 now?
She adds on an hour every year.

Be that as it may,

I should get the presents,
not you.

Oh, I don't want any presents.

Fine. So, what?

You just want us to forget
about your birthday entirely?

Guess who did remember?
Will.

Will? That's a miracle!

He took the time out
to send his sister a card?

It's really sweet.

We should get him to come
for Christmas this year.

We try every year.

Something always comes up.

So how is Will?

I had such a crush
on him in high school.

Really?

I didn't notice.

You were my best friend.

He was your brother.
I could not go there.

I think you should go
to the bachelors' auction

and see if there's
anyone interesting there

you should bid on.

Sounds like a marvelous idea.

It's just never going to happen.

Oh, come on, Grace.

Just keep me company.

You don't have to bid on anyone
if you don't want to.

As a judge, I think
that's a very wise decision.

Fine. But I reserve
the right to appeal.

[♪]

[Knocking]

Hey there, your honor.

Hi, Jack.
What a nice surprise.

And I hope this is, too.

♪ Ta-dah!
Happy early birthday.

I couldn't wait.

You also couldn't listen.

I told you no presents!

If you don't like it,

you can cite me for contempt.

It's either a very large book,

or a really stiff shirt.

Should I open it now?

Please.

Oh, Jack!

I asked Justine
to paint the cove,

and I made the frame,

so I guess it's a present
from both of us.

I love it.

You made the frame?

[Laughing]

With a little
coaching from Bob, yes.

It's beautiful.

You may not think
your birthday is special,

but I think
you are very special.

Thank you.

And I have the perfect
place to hang it.

And after you do that,

I am gonna take you out

for a spectacular,
pre-birthday dinner.

[She sighs, he chuckles]

[Phone rings]

Oh, let me get that.

Judge Lockhart.

Oh, hi, Stan.

Well, Jack and I

are just headed out the door
to have dinner.

Okay.

Is everything alright?
Are you sure?

Okay. Well,
I'll see you tomorrow.

What was that about?

I don't know, he just said
he needed to talk to me.

Does your ex
often call you like that?

Just to "talk"?

Please tell me
you're not jealous.

[Laughs] Curious.

We're just friends.
Nothing more.

Okay, then.

You still up for dinner?

Of course I am.

We need to celebrate
this beautiful present.

[♪]

[♪]

[Shocked]: You what?

I had an argument with Melanie.
A fight, actually.

You got in a fight?

I know.

I'm usually a master
at avoiding confrontation,

but I'm trying not
to repeat my mistakes.

And what was the fight about?

I asked her to come
to a therapy session with me

and she refused.

That's her choice.
You have to respect it.

I do, but then I told her

that you'd come with me
the other day...

You didn't tell her that
beforehand?

I knew
she would just get upset!

Of course she got upset!

You can't keep
something like that from her.

She has a right to know.

But that is the problem.

Any time I try to talk to her
about me going into therapy,

she... she gets angry.

She doesn't believe

in stirring up issues
from the past,

but that is exactly
what I need.

It's the only way I'm gonna
get any peace of mind.

For years, I have been living
with this constant...

Depression.

I want to be able
to sleep at night.

Anyway, we argued and...

and I just felt
I had to get out of there.

I came here,

and I checked into
the Thyme And Tide overnight,

and just let things
settle down.

Well, you can't stay
any longer.

That is something that
the old Stan would have done,

when things got
too uncomfortable.

I know, I ran.

But you're not
that same person anymore,

so just go home
and deal with it.

I can't let my marriage
fall apart like I did before.

It was my fault, too.

I wasn't open

to hearing your needs,

because I was too lost
in my own.

I see that now.

Thank you for that.

It really means a lot to me.

And thanks for listening,
Olivia,

for being a friend.

- Hey, mom!
- Hey.

You okay?

Yeah. I'm fine.

Are you sure?

Yeah.

It's just...

I mean, things may not
always have been so great

between your father and I,

but we always
ate dinner together,

we always shared the same bed.

I just didn't expect,
after 26 years,

to feel so lonely
in my own house.

You're not alone.

- I'm here.
- I know.

And that's good.

Because I'm gonna need you

to give me some tips
on how to start dating again.

It's been a long time.
Whole different world.

I mean, look at me...
I can barely send a text.

It's easy.

I'll show you.

Just watch out for autocorrect.

See, now, I don't even
know what that is.

You'll be fine, mom.
Don't worry.

Oh, sweetie.

I am so glad you moved
back in with me.

Me too.

[♪]

Does this look okay?

Does it matter?
You're mine.

Temporarily.

You get Seth, I get John,

then we make the switcheroo.

You don't have
to tell me again.

I feel like we're Lucy and Ethel
hatching a plan.

Ladies!

[Quiet chuckling]

Just pay attention, Ethel.

Ethel? I'm Lucy.
You're Ethel.

By the way, you look fantastic.

Thank you.

Please don't sample
the merchandise.

You're in this thing?

[Laughs] No.

Actually, Seth,

I contribute to charity
the old-fashioned way...

By writing a huge check.

Plus, he knows
no one will bid on him.

Actually, no one can afford me,
but thanks.

Seriously?

They're gonna
go through with this thing

in the rain?

Come rain or shine.

Now, please, Grace,
keep an open mind.

I will, but I'm not
promising anything.

Where is my mother?

[♪♪]

[♪]

[Locked handle clunking]

[♪♪]

Be still my heart.

Someone is going to be
a very hot commodity.

Just please make sure
you are the winning bid.

About that...

Uh-oh.

No worries.

Just don't be alarmed
if I bid on Cliff Harting.

Cliff Harting?

Yes. I'm gonna give
that date to Grace,

in which case, I'll get my mom
to bid on you for me,

but I just need to find her.

Okay...

Don't worry.

Sure, what could
possibly go wrong?

Everything's gonna
be alright, I promise.

[Snickering]

Okay. How did
your meeting with Stan go?

Oh, he's just having
a rough time right now.

He needed someone to talk to.

So he called you?

Jack...

my concerns for Stan
have nothing to do with us.

Excuse me,
ladies and gentlemen.

May I have your attention,
please?

I know that Mayor Hanson

usually handles
the auctioneer duties,

but he has taken ill,

and I drew the short straw.

[Laughter]

So, uh, please bear with me,

and we'll see if we can

match some lucky ladies
with eligible bachelors.

Are we ready? Huh?

[Cheering]

Then let's get started!

Going once...

Going twice?

Sold! For $125
to the Covington sisters!

[Cheering and laughter]

[Chuckling]
Ah, that's great! Thank you.

Okay, next up, we have...

[Hushed whispers]

Uh, folks, we have
a little surprise here...

A late entry.

We haven't seen him
in Cedar Cove for quite awhile,

but I think most of you
will recognize him...

[Gasps] Uncle Will!

[Bob]: Will Jeffers!

Give it up for him, huh?

Did you know
your brother was coming?

I had no idea.

[Bob]: Ladies, Will's not
technically a bachelor,

but he would like to help
raise money for pet adoption,

so if you'd like to take him out
to a friendly little dinner...

$50!

[Bob]: $50!

What are you doing?

I am being strong,
bold and confident.

[Bob]: Do I hear a hundred?

100!

150!

[Bob]: 150?

150...

Going once?

150 going twice...

Will Jeffers, you are sold
for $150 to Grace Sherman.

[Crowd applauding]

Hello, birthday girl!

Mwah!

Surprised?

Completely, but not half as much
as your wife is gonna be.

What? It's just dinner, Olivia.

She's still such
a stickler for decorum.

It's that judge thing.

Be good,

or I'll hit you with my gavel.

This cannot be

the girl I used to
take sailing every Sunday. Oh!

What happened to your braces?

It hasn't been that long.

It feels like it.

I'm happy you're here.

Me too.
Where's mom?

I don't know.

I've got to go find her.
Come help me.

- Hey, Will!
- How are you?

I'm good.
It's so nice to see you.

Good to see you, too.

[♪♪]

[Bob]: $50!
Do I hear a hundred?

I called her house.
No answer.

Why are you so anxious?

Because Grace wasn't
supposed to bid

on your Uncle.

She was supposed to
bid on Cliff Harting.

So?

So now I have to bid on Cliff

and give the date to Grace,

in which case,
I can get your grandmother

to bid on Jack for me.

But you can!

No, I can't.

Oh, please, Justine?

I promised Jack that
I'd make the winning bid.

But it's one
bachelor per woman,

and I have to bid on John
for Maryellen,

and she gonna bid
on Seth for me.

I'm confused.

I'm sorry.
You got to find someone else.

Where is your grandmother?

[Crowd applauding]

[♪♪]

[Bob]: Okay, $225 it is.

- 250.
- 250,

we have 250.
Going once...

Going twice...

Moon, you're sold to number 40!

Ladies, the next gentleman
is Mr. Seth Gunderson.

Come on out here, Seth!

[Women cheering]

[♪]

[Bob]: Now, what do I hear?
What's our opening bid?

$50.

$50! Do I hear 75?

[Woman]: $200!

[Bob]: Do I hear $225?

Who's that?

I don't know,
but she's gorgeous.

Bid.

225!

225 it is! 225.

300!

[Bob]: 300! 300.
Do we have a 325?

Maryellen, raise your paddle.

I don't have enough money.

I do. Just bid!

325, going once...

350!

[Bob]: 350?

- 350...
- 400!

[Bob]: 400! 400...

400. Going once.

400 going twice.

$417!

Going once, going twice...

Sold! To Justine Lockhart.

$417!

[Auction crowd applauding]

Sorry. I got carried away.

You made your interest in Seth
crystal-clear.

Ladies, I want you
to meet John Bowman...

A man with talent
behind the camera

as well as in the kitchen.

Come on out here, John!

[Women cheering]

You've inspired me.

But now I can't bid on John.

You don't have to.

Do I hear $50?

50!

[Bob]: $50.

Oh, come on, ladies.

$50?

Take a look at this guy! Huh?

- You can't do better than that!
- 100!

A hundred? 100!

You don't have to
outbid yourself.

Oh. Right.
[Laughing]

[Bob]:
Hundred, going once...

Going twice...

Sold! For $100.

[Crowd applauds
in the distance]

Cliff? Where
are you going?

Home.

But you're up soon.

Ladies, Mr. Jack Griffith!

[Women cheering]

[Bob]: Alright, I'm gonna
open the bid at $150.

Do we have $150?

$150.

Do we have 200? 200?
Do I see...

No sense in me hanging around.

Grace has got her date.

No, no.
That's my brother.

He showed up and surprised us
and threw her off-guard.

Yeah, she seemed
pretty excited.

Aw, Cliff.
They're old friends.

Come on,
let me bid on you for her.

No, but thanks for trying.

[Engine rumbles]

Mom!

Made it.
What did I miss?

Did you already bid on Jack?

You're just in time.

[Bob]: Jack, you have been sold
for 450!

[Crowd applauds]

[Olivia groans]

[♪]

Hey, everybody, listen up!

We're still waiting
on the final tally,

but I have been told

that we broke
last year's record!

Oh! Wow!

[Cheering]

So, ladies and gentlemen...
enjoy your dates!

And thank you all for coming.

- Oh!
- Aww.

Oh, this is so wonderful.

How long can you stay?

I'll be in Seattle
on business for awhile.

I'm sure I can pop over

on the ferry from time to time.

You'd better pop over often!

Yeah, starting with

that date I paid big money for.

Oh, I'm looking forward to it.

So, I gotta say,
I was pretty surprised

when I saw you
raise your paddle.

Gotta say,

I surprised myself
when I raised it.

[Chuckles nervously]

Are you okay with that?

Yeah.

I thought it was pretty great.

Great.
[Relieved laugh]

So where should we
go to dinner?

Your choice.

Anywhere but
the Captain's Galley.

Their best chef
will be off-duty.

[Justine]: Seth!

Just a second.

This is for you.

Alright, babe?
I'll see you later.

Safe drive.

Saget!

Yeah?

What's your problem?

Problem? I don't know
what you're talking about.

I don't have a problem.

You know what
I'm talking about.

What's going on?

You know the girl
who bid on me?

He put her up to it.

He's playing games with us.

I'm not the one
who plays games, Seth.

That's your job.

I mean, you're the one
who leaves town all the time.

I don't know about you, but is
that some way to treat Justine?

- That is none of your business.
- Sure isn't.

So stay out of it.

[Warren snickers]

No worries, folks.

Please, he's just whining
because I raised the stakes

and brought a lot more money
into the charity.

Isn't that right, Seth?

That's not why you did it
and you know it.

I don't have time for this.

Get out of my way.

Not till we finish this.

Really?

- Seth!
- Whoo!

Take it easy.
It's not worth it.

[Warren chuckles]

Ho, ho. Wow.

Come on.

This isn't over.

You can't win.

You know, you're gonna
spend a night in jail

if you ever touch me again.
You know that, right?

[Olivia]: I was gonna
bid on Cliff Harting,

and gift the date to Grace,

and get her
to bid on you for me,

but she bid on my brother, Will,

so I asked Justine,
but she couldn't do it,

so I was gonna ask my mom,

but she left
her keys in the car,

and by the time I got back,
it was over! You see?

Yeah? See? See what?

There's a perfectly
logical explanation!

- You call that logical?
- Yes!

Come on, Jack! You know I wanted
to win that date with you!

Yes, I do.
However...

I'm not so sure

you could have outbid
my new companion.

She seemed very determined.

Huh. So who
is this girl?

[Flirts]: Hello...

Edna Stanton?

[Jack laughing]

You have
some very serious competition.

We are gonna go
for an early dinner

right here.

She doesn't waste any time.

Mm-mm.

Well, you're coming to my house
afterwards.

Edna paid
top-dollar for me.

You think
you're gonna get a freebie now?

And I'll make it
worth your while.

Ooh! I am so there.

[Edna bangs on the window]

Sorry. Hi, edna.

[Cracking up]

[♪]

Justine!

Justine, come on!

Look...

- What do you want?
- Look, I just want to apologize

for what happened
at the auction.

Okay? Look, I wasn't
trying to cause

a problem with the bidding.

- I was just having fun.
- No, you weren't.

Alright, you know what?

Maybe I took it a little
too far. You're right.

But think about how much money

I brought into the auction.

Warren, stop.

What?

Look, when we first
started dating,

I thought this whole act
was just for show,

that, deep down inside,

there was a person capable
of caring for others,

but I was wrong.

[♪]

Hi, Stan!

Oh. Hey.

I thought you'd, uh,
still be at the auction.

How'd it go?

Well, nothing turned out
the way it was supposed to,

but maybe everything turned out
the way it should.

I, uh...

I was just leaving that
for you.

You haven't given me
a birthday present in years.

Well, it's not really
for that, but, uh...

But Happy Birthday.

Should I open it?

Sure.

[Gasps] Oh...

[♪♪]

It's Jordan's.
I saved it.

I just couldn't throw it away.

[Stunned chuckle]

[Emotionally]:
Thank you.

You haven't been back
to the lake since he died,

have you?

You should go.

- I don't think I can.
- Yes, you can.

Come on.

We'll go together.

[♪]

Okay.

[Olivia]: Ready to launch?

[♪♪]

Here goes.

[♪]

[Knocking]

[♪]

Hey... [grunts]

Hey, it's me,
I hope you can hear this.

I got, like,
two bars on this thing.

I'm at your house
and... you're not.

Just, uh,
wondering where you are.

Hope you're okay.

I'll, um, I'll check in
later, okay?

Alright.

Bye.

[♪]

[Breath starts shaking]

It's okay.

What are you thinking?

[Shaky sigh] Just...

He was such a beautiful boy.

Such a good boy, our son.

Yes. He was.
