NARRATOR: Previously on Chesapeake Shores:
JESS: So you and Mom, what's going on there?
We're just, you know, taking it slow.
ABBY: Cheers. -Cheers.
-This is nice. -It is, isn't it?
It's not every day you meet someone who makes you feel safe.
We're here to check in.
What? Now?
This says we're open already.
We'd love to have our wedding reception here.
MICK: Oh, that's great.
-I got you a present. -Really?
It's okay if you didn't get me anything.

What are you doing back here? Take the wrong exit off the I-81?
-I was in the neighborhood. -You never are.
I told you I'd be back soon. I guess this is soon.
And I told you I wasn't interested in going back on the road.
Well, maybe this time the road is coming to you.
EMMA: ♪ I wanna dance in the sunset ♪♪
[♪♪♪]
Thank you all for coming to our grand opening.
We really appreciate celebrating this with all of you.
Can you officially have an official grand opening
when the place has already been opened?
Well, I think if it was unofficially opened by mistake, then it's fine.
Considering it's still called The Inn at Eagle Point,
can you have a third grand opening?
-Let's just hope the termites don't find this one too. ABBY: Ha-ha.
What? Too soon?
WOMAN: Too soon. MAN: Way too soon.
Scissors. Ahem. Oh, here. We forgot the scissors. I'll be right back.
Okay.
[♪♪♪]
Oh.
[GASPS]
I can get the scissors.
No, I got them! This drawer sticks. It's sticky.
-We need to fix it. -Yeah. Good idea.
So... Big day.
Yeah. One that'll change our lives forever.
Right. Let's get to it.
Till death do us part! Sorry, I'm just excited.

-Hey. -Hello.
Listen, thank you for helping out.
Of course. It's fun. It's like Bring Your Daughter To Work week.
What if we made it a full-time thing?
You running O'Brien Construction with me.
What?
Not as an employee but a full-time partner.
Wow, I mean, I don't know what to say.
Well, would you think about it?
Yeah. Yeah, of course.
Want some more coffee?
I'm good. Thank you.
Okay. Think about it. Bye.
Bye.
I'm trying to plan the third course.
Do you suggest an antipasto or a salad?
So much for Kevin's wedding dinner being low-key.
Um, Dad, when have we ever done anything low-key?
Anything worth doing is worth overdoing.
A strong O'Brien motto.
-Tickets for opening night. -That's exciting. Thank you.
And, Gran, here are yours for the matinee with Carrie, Caitlyn, Jess, and David.
Oh, thank you.
Bree, have you read this review of your play in the Tribune?
They must've come to the preview.
No. I don't read reviews.
If you take the good, you have to take the bad.
That's too bad. It says your dialogue sparkles.
Really?
Also, some of your characters are out of touch with reality.
Really?
I'm not here to talk about my life. I just need paprika.
There are things called grocery stores.
Then I wouldn't see your pretty faces.
-"Out of touch." I say true to life. -Right.
Also need cinnamon and "cardamon." All the "mon" spices.
I'll need another cup of coffee. Connor, you joining us--?
No time, Dad. I gotta grab my suit. I got a big meeting today.
It's so nice to have the family all together again, isn't it?
-Hey, Gran. -Darling, your lunch is on the counter.
Don't you know they have grocery stores?
Well, Sarah's family is meeting us at the station.
-And Kevin and I are domestically challenged. -Does anybody in this family know how to cook?
[PHONE RINGS]
KEVIN: No. SARAH: No.
Hey. Yeah, yeah, I'm just about to head out now.
SARAH: Hi Megan. MEGAN: Hi.
MICK: Okay. -Hi. So I'm here to help.
-Hi, honey. -I can't wait for the party.
Oh, we can help too, but I'm taking the paprika, so no paprikash.
Paprikash.
Only one?
ABBY: Ah.
You're not here to ask me to leave?
Strange as it may sound, I actually have a solution.
Let me guess. It involves me and Emma.
I just let her know I'd like to record a few of her songs,
and I want you to produce.
I told you, I'm not going back to Nashville.
You weren't listening.
If the Riley can't come to the mountain, the mountain come to Riley.
You can do it right here in Chesapeake Shores.
I'm not set up here to record anything professionally.
Trace, you're jumping the gun.
I wouldn't be much of a manager if I didn't make it worth your while.
I'll pay you to produce.
That should cover the cost to install your own studio right here at the Bridge.
That's always been your dream, hasn't it?
[♪♪♪]
If everything works out, Emma will be the first of many.
I think I just hooked a fish.
More like circling the bait. But I have to think about it.
Think about what? Producing?
Or producing for Emma?
I can't remember when you looked this happy.
Been a few times.
But I haven't bought paints for myself since I was pregnant with Bree.
That's funny. Why did you stop?
I don't know.
You were working.
Abby and Kevin were taking up all my time, there just wasn't room for it.
-I'm sorry. -I'm not.
I like to think that what happens is supposed to happen.
-There's a timing for everything, Mick. -Yeah, including when to retaliate.
What?
[♪♪♪]
-Congratulations, Bree O'Brien. -And to you, Hannah Urso.
Well, I hope you poured a glass for me.
-Never. -That's okay. I brought my own.
I hope you don't mind. My agent wanted to meet you.
Oh, sure.
Brian Higgins, UCA.
You know, since I've known Hannah,
she always has a glass of champagne the night before opening,
and she never offers me one, so I always come prepared.
-It's very nice to meet you, Brian. -You too.
Hannah, can I bother you for a minute?
Yeah. Uh, I'll be right back.
Remember, he only gets 10 percent.
Thank you. So who are you repped by?
No one.
You're kidding. You've done all this on your own?
A best-selling novel and three produced plays?
Honestly, I don't even know why I'm talking to you.
What?
You seem to be doing pretty great on your own.
I am. I am, thank you. Thanks so much.
So, what do you wanna do next?
Everybody keeps asking me that, and, um...
I don't have a plan yet.
Okay. Then we should do lunch.
Do people actually say that, "do lunch"?
They say it when it's more about business and not even about lunch.
Hm.
-But we can eat if you want. -Yeah.
Cheers.
-So let's narrow it down to just the offense. -Mm-hm.
Average cost of raising a child.
Don't forget about football pads and Band-Aids.
How about college and food?
All right, fine, be that way.
Well...
[♪♪♪]
Okay, so I'm thinking that we have 2.5 kids?
Don't think it works that way.
I had no idea kids were this expensive.
WIL: Sarah. Kevin.
-Good to see you again, sir. -Hey, it's "Dad" now.
KEVIN: Oh. Agh!
Yeah, good to see you, Dad.
-So are you guys enjoying the fire hall? -This place is awesome, yeah.
You know, it could use a good cleaning.
Oh, just ignore him.
So how's marital bliss?
JESS: Okay. -Jess, I have a question.
Why, yes, David Peck. You can ask.
Right. Should we leave room for tulips or begonias?
Begonias.
I'm sorry. This can't wait any longer.
[♪♪♪]
I know. I'm ready. Just ask.
Okay.
Sure.
I was thinking...
that we should have people park alongside the house
rather than in the driveway, what do you think?
I think that's an excellent proposal.
Excuse me. I have a question. You had guests here last week, right?
Oh, yes, uh...
It was crazy. We were so not prepared. But it worked out perfectly, sort of.
Sorry, who are you?
Rob Crone. I work with the city's Small Business License division.
I'm here because our tourism office has received rave reviews
about an inn that wasn't supposed to be open.
Your occupancy permit didn't go into effect until yesterday.
I think that I can explain that.
See, there was a mistake with the dates, so we had to let people in early.
-Right. -Were there any complaints or anything?
I don't know, that's not my department.
But I do know you were operating an inn illegally without a license.
I'm sure that we can pay any fine there is.
Well, it's pretty substantial.
Municipal code 31-A, paragraph 2.
Wow.
That is substantial.
Mm-hm.
Yeah.
-So, what do you think? Sounds perfect. -Emma, about that...
You can produce, write some songs, we can do it all right here.
That's not it. It's just...
I've been thinking you'd be better off recording with another producer.
The reason this is happening is because Mark thinks we work well together.
One thing I've learned in my career, to not mix business with pleasure.
Trace.
Besides, to get a recording studio up and running takes time.
I don't mind the wait, and I could use the practice.
I just can't think of anyone better to produce my first single.
Trace, come on.
-Could you at least think about it? -Yeah.
[♪♪♪]
ABBY: It's not that I hate the idea. JAY: Right.
ABBY: And it's not that I'm not excited, but... -Mm-hm.
You know, I just never thought that I might be running the family business.
It's not really a typical family business, is it?
-No, I guess it's not. -Mm.
What do your brothers and sisters think?
Ooh, I don't know. I haven't told them yet.
So I'm the first. Wow. I mean, that's kind of special.
Okay, I see where you're going with this.
I'm still debating if I'm gonna accept your friend request.
Oh, ouch, you are cold, Winters. Oof!
Okay. Oh, this is not good.
Abby, um, Plymouth Rock is important, why?
-Because it's where the Pilgrims landed. -Mm-hm.
But according to one of my students, it's where Pocahontas learned to sing.
You know what, that could be true.
Oh, you're way too easy of a grader.
So, what do you think?
Maybe we could go out some time without taking our homework with us?
[♪♪♪]
-Yeah, that'd be nice. -Great.
Okay, so wait, the hummingbirds aren't actual hummingbirds?
No, they are, they're just also a metaphor.
Okay, they're derived from two separate literary references.
One from ancient Greece. What?
You overthink everything, including overthinking.
Yes, I do.
Which is why I'm not gonna think about what I'm gonna say to Brian Higgins.
Who?
Oh, just an agent. Who asked me for lunch.
Ooh.
He's gonna ask all kinds of hard personal questions, probably.
JESS: What's wrong with that?
You've already given away our entire family's life history of secrets.
This is true.
Although, wait, I have some that you don't know.
Dad just asked me to work for him full-time.
And Jay also asked me on a date.
Wait, wait, wait. You're gonna work with Dad?
I haven't decided yet.
Bigger wait, you've already been on a billion dates with Jay.
Yeah, but this one doesn't involve working.
Oh...
Mama, you need help.
What? You did that all the time with Simon. All you did was write.
Well, and you own an inn with David.
Yeah.
Oh, right. Well, then, well, we all need to get a life.
Yeah.
[CLEARS THROAT]
[♪♪♪]
Uh, ring finger.
-You're getting engaged? What?! -Not yet. But I found the ring.
David's just obsessed with this permit and this fine,
-so future Jess has to wait. -Oh, my gosh! What does it look like?
-It's really big! -It's beautiful. I love it!
I know. Can you imagine it?
You know, we weren't surprised.
-What, about Kevin and Sarah? -No. You and Megan.
When Megan came back, Robin and I just figured it was a matter of time.
Yeah, well, I guess we're slow learners.
Nah. Takes a while for you to smooth out the rough edges.
I just hope we're not making the wrong choice.
I don't think the family could take it.
I think you'll be fine.
Oh, Megan and I will be fine. It's just that other thing.
-What, Dilpher? -Yeah, yeah.
How are you holding up?
As of today, I'm firing back.
I got three lawsuits against him and his company.
If you need any help, let me know.
Oh, thanks, I appreciate that.
But I know you and Connor are real busy. I'll be okay.
What do you mean?
He said he had a big day today.
Really? I've purposely been giving him a light workload.
Don't tell him,
but next month I'm giving him first chair on the Hubert case.
Oh.
I think he's gonna love it. It's out in New York.
Oh, that's great. He'll never come back.
[♪♪♪]
Mick, is there something you're not telling me?
Always.
[INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC PLAYING OVER SPEAKERS]
Connor. You're looking deep in thought.
I'm, like, drowning in conflicting legal theories.
Trying to pinpoint where these other lawyers went wrong.
Is there anything I can do to help you?
Unless you wanna throw me a life jacket, I'm okay sinking on my own.
You know, I really could use Danielle right now.
Well, now, you miss her, don't you?
Of course, because you always bounced everything off of her.
That is very true. She is the very first person I'd call when I wanna talk law.
That's right.
-Oh, hey. What are you up to? -Hi.
I'm gonna go sketch at the beach.
-That sounds lovely. -I'd love some company. Huh?
You? No?
Oh, I'm getting me driver's license renewed. It expired.
-Everything expires. NELL: Yeah.
-Relationships... NELL: Yeah.
Everything.
Gran, you are a genius.
Yes.
Any idea what that was about?
I haven't a clue.
SARAH: On the plus side, he didn't break your hand.
No, but I do think that he cracked one of my vertebrae.
It's nice having him here, but between you and me,
there was not a speck of dust on that fire engine.
Yeah, he told me. He said he did it just to give you a hard time.
Seeing them made me realize how much I missed them.
So is that why you organized a tour of the bay?
We used to go on these road trips all the time when I was a kid.
Kevin, I love living here with you,
but seeing them just made me realize I want them to be part of our lives too.
All right. We just need to lose that handshake.
-I mean, does your dad ever let up? -Only if he doesn't like you.
Well, then he must love me.
[♪♪♪]
EMMA: I don't understand why you're suddenly so eager to send me to Nashville.
You know I'm not ready.
Emma, you are. Besides, you're never gonna feel completely ready.
-You just gotta go for it. -That's exactly what I'm trying to do.
You helped me finish my song, and I really thought we had something.
We work well together, Trace. You've told me that doesn't happen often.
-I really like working with you too. -So, what's going on?
Why are you suddenly pulling back?
JAY: Hey, Trace. How's it going?
Jay.
-Hey, Abby. -Hey.
Uh, Emma, you remember Jay.
-I know you. Schoolteacher. -That's right. Yeah.
And this is Abby.
-Nice to meet you, Emma. -Hey.
-Trace. -Yeah.
Just over here.
[♪♪♪]
-So that's her. -Hm?
You still have feelings for her, don't you?
[TRACE SCOFFS]
It's just, uh... It's not that simple.
You know, we grew up together.
I mean, we've known each other since we were kids.
So wait, you did this voluntarily?
It seemed like a good idea at the time.
Brothers' weekend, bonding,
uh, but by mile five, covered in mud, and climbing up a rope ladder...
So, uh, when you get to Nashville, I'd look into some open mics.
Great way to test out new material.
I was beginning to think that this was an awful idea.
What did your brothers think?
Pete thought it was hilarious. Nate, uh, he didn't talk to me for a week.
I'd start with Bluebird Cafe,
but there's also Puckett's and Douglas Corner.
There's the Mercy Lounge.
Hey, do you wanna get out of here? Maybe grab a bite at Giovanni's instead?
-I would love that. Thank you. -All right.
-Take it easy, Trace. -Yeah, you too.
Bye.
So where were we?
Thank you.
So, what do you want?
I think I'm gonna go with the garbanzo bean salad
with the honey vinaigrette.
Sounds delicious. I think I'm gonna go with the chicken club and fries,
but that is not what I was asking.
-Oh, it wasn't. -No. What do you want in your career?
Well, um, I mean, I'd like to write a series of short stories,
and I have another play in mind.
Right, I know, and you're already doing all those things on your own.
Listen, Bree, you are successful.
And what you've done without an agent, it's pretty amazing.
So if you like your life right now, you don't need me.
You'll stay here, you'll keep writing, and you'll continue to be successful.
Okay.
-So why do I need you? -Right.
Because I am not about the next book. I'm about the next 10 years.
Okay, so you should know that I can barely handle tomorrow.
Which is why you need me.
While you worry about you, my job is to worry about the future you.
Mm.
Oh, and that's the question you want me to answer, right?
The "where do I see myself in 10 years?"
Yeah. You don't need to know the answer now.
I just need to know that you're willing to ask the question.
Because I can only take you as far as you're willing to go.
I'm gonna have to give up some things too, though, right?
Yeah, that's the price.
So, Bree, what do you want?
[♪♪♪]
-So are you ready to dazzle me? -We'll see.
Connor, we've lost this case once,
so if you've come back without knowing how to win it,
I'm not sure what you're bringing to the table.
Linda, when is the law not the law?
Just because a law is cited and obeyed doesn't mean it actually exists.
Okay, I'm intrigued. Go on.
You and the prosecution presumed
that previous legal findings were actionable,
but you failed to consider a simple sunset clause.
Laws expire.
We looked into that.
You did, but only with city laws,
not the superseding county laws.
You tried to protect a hospital's lease,
but you readily accepted a zoning issue that no longer existed.
The county zoning restrictions had a sunset clause,
and had your team known that, the case would've been thrown out.
It should've never gone to trial.
What tipped you off?
My grandma's driver's license.
It expired.
And so did my last relationship.
And it dawned on me that everything has an expiration date.
The trick is knowing when it is and being prepared for it.
Because they sneak up on you.
And in the end...
you have to realize when something's over, even when you don't wanna let it go.
[♪♪♪]
I've always believed that a good lawyer understands not just the law
but people too.
I'll see you on Monday. We start at 8.
Thank you.
MEGAN: It was wonderful.
I got off work, went to Remmey Beach and did some sketches.
Anything that might be a painting?
I'm not sure yet.
I can't really do anything until I get my studio set up.
-You asking for help? -No.
Okay, yes.
-You did offer. -No, I did. And I wanna help.
So, what's on the agenda?
Okay. Picture this.
-Hardwood floors in the second bedroom. -Mm-hm.
Replacing the windows for better light and raising the ceiling.
-Oh, is that all? -Mm.
-I'll cook you dinner. -That's good.
-Hey. -Hey.
-Where's Sarah and her family? -Taking a drive along the shore.
Well, I'm excited to meet them, but it's nice to have just a moment with you, Kev.
Yeah, it'll be nice. A little weird.
I guess I'm just getting used to being married.
Is it that different?
I don't know.
Sarah and I have been talking about having kids,
and I think she's right, just have two or three.
-So you did the math? -Yeah.
That's why I'm still working.
Oh, who are you kidding, Mick?
You work because you love it.
[♪♪♪]
-You gonna share? -No. Give me that back.
How are things here with the "ing-ray"?
Not a word on the ing-ray or the "engagement-ay."
It's okay. It's okay. It's gonna happen.
Oh, yeah, eventually,
when the feng shui realigns with municipal code 31-A, paragraph 2.
Ever since, David's been at city hall arguing with them,
saying it's not about money, it's about principle.
You guys really are perfect for each other.
I know it sounds silly, but when I saw the ring,
I didn't just see the ring, I saw David.
And it felt like my whole life made sense.
And I always thought that I would be on the outside
looking in at you and Abby, being happily married,
which-- I'm sorry, no offense--
No, Jess.
Of all the people in the world, you deserve this most.
[♪♪♪]
Thank you.
-Hey, did it work? -In order to waive the fine,
I have to file five different appeals. I'll be up all night doing paperwork,
then we have to wait for city council to review, which could take a month or two.
Wait? For two months?
[JESS CHUCKLES]
I don't think so.
It's already been 24 hours, I've been waiting, and it's killing me.
I'm not just gonna stand idly by
while a city official stops me from a lifetime of happiness and love.
I'm gonna find this Rob Crone,
and tell him that he's standing in the way of my happily ever after.
It's about the feng shui.
[♪♪♪]
You brought me an éclair. That is incredibly sweet of you.
Well, it's not as sweet as you think.
It was the last one. This very nice elderly couple tried to order it,
but I pulled it from the counter.
-There's no bite marks. -I figured you'd prefer it unchewed.
So that was, uh, awkward yesterday.
Yeah.
Um...
-It's over with Trace. -Yeah, I know.
And just because we have history
does not mean that we have a future.
Yeah. I know that too.
You know, just...
You know, sometimes the past has a way of sticking around.
Yes, and in a small town, it's especially hard to avoid it.
Oh, very true.
So...
What do we do now?
I think we take it slow.
Or we could take it fast.
But nobody ever really says that, do they?
No, they don't.
But...
Abby, I understand.
Really, I do.
No matter what happens with us,
it'll always be different between you and me, and I'm okay with that.
So...
Slow, then?
Like turtles.
-Or molasses. -Oh, good one.
Come here.
[PICKING GUITAR]
List of some friends in Nashville. People you can trust.
-You really think I'm ready? -I really do.
-What about your recording studio? -I'm still gonna build it.
For you?
Yeah, for me.
Hopefully I can finish what I started here.
Thank you.
For what?
For believing in me.
Emma, you're talented.
And right now, you need to follow your dreams.
And I need to follow mine.
You're gonna be great.
I hope it works out for you too.
You're one of the good ones, Trace.
Come here.
So have you officially taken the job?
Yeah. Yeah, I officially took it.
And listen, Uncle Thomas...
I wanna let you know how much I appreciate
everything that you did for me
and the responsibility you gave me when I first started out.
But it was time to move on?
Exactly. It's time to move on.
I just...
I wanna see what I can do on my own.
Hey, you don't have to explain it to me.
Denzer, Lewis & Phelps is a great firm.
Linda Nelson is a tough attorney.
But, and I hope you don't mind me saying this,
have you thought about why they wanted you?
Uh, what do you mean?
Look, Connor, any firm would be lucky to have you,
you have a great feel for the law,
but Nelson is a shark,
and she'll attack when you least expect it.
Well...
Isn't that what attorneys do?
Not against their own team.
[♪♪♪]
Uncle Thomas.
If you think you can persuade me by any and all means, Miss O'Brien,
you are sadly mistaken.
I am a rock, standing--
Nay, sitting. --firm against a sea of impropriety.
Rob...
have you ever been in love?
[♪♪♪]
Yes. Yes, I have.
Chickpeas and garbanzo beans are the same thing.
-It's not that complicated. -You know what else isn't complicated?
Love.
Marriage.
Finding the person you're meant to be with.
Unless you're not with the person that you're meant to be with,
then it is absolutely complicated,
but you don't have that excuse.
-No, I guess I don't. -Mm-mm.
So, what's stopping you?
Congratulations. I am so happy for you.
Good luck.
[JESS SOBBING]
[DOOR CLOSES]
We're back in business.
Yes!
So either cars are getting smaller, or my brothers are getting bigger.
I think your brothers are getting bigger.
But it was worth it.
Because my dad even started singing "Kokomo."
-Your dad is a fan of the Beach Boys? -Mm-hm.
It's why I learned how to surf.
[♪♪♪]
Hawaii.
I love Hawaii.
-Ocean and mountains. -For our honeymoon? It's perfect.
I was also thinking that...
we should go to your family's for Christmas.
-Really? -Yeah.
I don't wanna take you away from your family.
I wanna be a Mercer as much as you're an O'Brien.
So you're as sweet as you are mildly cute.
-Again with the mildly cute? -I love you.
-I love you too. -Wow, no hesitation.
None at all.
Gonna eat those?
They're all yours.
I can feel the shift coming. Monumental shift.
-No, you're cheating. -What?
You're cheating. You--
It's like you've already time-traveled.
You know that there's a ring, so it's not a monumental shift,
it is a tiny shuffle.
I'm not talking about me, I'm--
Well, a little bit. But I'm talking about you guys.
Something big is gonna happen.
-For both of you. -Nope.
-Nope? Oh. -Nope.
I've had enough monumental shifts to last a lifetime.
-Uh, Trace. Hi. -Hey.
Hi.
-Abby, you got a sec? -Uh, yeah. Just a sec, though.
Bye.
I, uh...
I just wanted to tell you that...
I'm finally building that recording studio in the back of the Bridge.
That's amazing. You have wanted to do that for so long.
Yeah. Yeah, I have.
I mean, I still do.
Oh, and Emma, will she be able to record there too?
No. No, uh, actually, she's going to Nashville with Mark Hall.
I told her she should follow her dreams.
[♪♪♪]
So how's Jay? He seems like a good guy.
Yeah. Yeah, he is.
Good. Good. That's good to hear.
[VEHICLE APPROACHES]
Trace, I, um...
have to go.
Yeah. Yeah, of course.
Me too.
-Here you go. -Oh, thank you.
[♪♪♪]
David, you can stop cooking. We don't have guests until tomorrow.
I know. Uh, sorry, force of habit.
But...
I think this one might be my best yet.
Try it.
[♪♪♪]
[JESS GASPS]
-Yes, yes, yes! -Wait, wait, wait.
You have to let me ask first.
-And... -Aw.
You remembered.
Sorry, I couldn't find a real one.
It's okay, they're mythical.

Jess O'Brien...

And I would love nothing more than to spend the rest of my life

♪ I believe in us I believe ♪
Let me see.
It's really pretty.
I've known that since you first walked into my bookstore.
-So, happily ever after, huh? MAN: I suppose so.
WOMAN: Are you scared?
MAN: I don't know. Should I be? -Maybe. It might not last.
MAN: Nothing perfect ever does. -Then I think we'll be just fine.
AUDIENCE MEMBER: Aww.
[♪♪♪]
Whoo!
Even I got this one.
I didn't. There weren't any hummingbirds.
-Go on up. -And you, and you.
Thanks.
-Whoo! -Yeah!
I know.
-Great job. -Mm. Thank you.
See you soon.
Will you be my agent?
Okay, I think you're taking this 10 percent thing too seriously.
No. I wanna thank you so much for taking me on.
Then you're gonna like what I have to say because I just booked you your next job.
How do you feel about taking your play to the West End?
London?
Yep.
-Well? -Yes!
-Here. Thank you. -You're welcome.
London!
Oh, honey, I'm so proud of you.

[CHATTERING]
Uh, so Derrick Porter was just indicted, and Del offered me my job back.
-What? -Yeah.
What are you gonna do?
-I thought you were gonna work for Grandpa. -Uh, yes. Maybe. I'm not-- I'm not sure yet.
By the way, congratulations on your new job.
Oh, yeah, thanks. I'm excited.
-I'm sorry about the Hubert case. -What about it?
Thomas was talking about you being first chair.
So, um, I have a confession. I knew about the ring.
-Yeah, I know. -You knew and you didn't tell me?
You wanted me to tell you my secret about your secret?
Oh, right. Never mind.
-Good job. -Thanks.
-I wanna get married next. -You have a boyfriend?
Ew.
-Your adventure's just beginning. -Soon you'll have your own kids.
Yeah. We've talked about having kids.
BOTH: Football team!
-You know, we never talked about... -Oh, we're having five.
Uh, three girls and two boys, just like us.
Two forwards, two guards and a center.
I was thinking more a chef de cuisine, a sous-chef,
-a pâtissier, a saucier, and a chef de partie. -Yes.
I'm moving into your home.
-So are we. -Yeah, and so are we.
Me too, after London.
I don't want everything to change. Not yet.
-We're still gonna be the same. -Yeah, we will.
[♪♪♪]
JESS: We might be the same, but the table seems to change, right?
ABBY: It always will.
-Mick, look at this. -I am.
[GLASS CLINKING]
You only know for sure one thing in life:
where you've been
and the journeys that you've taken.
Our paths come together, and then they break apart,
and you can only hope that they lead you back to those you love,
the people you love,
the families you have and those that you will have.
So today,
let's celebrate the path that led us all here now.
Mick, a toast?
To Kevin and Sarah on their wedding...
and to David and Jess on their engagement.
-Hear, hear. -Cheers.
-Cheers.
NELL: Great life together.

Abby. What are you doing here?
Uh, I came down here to clear my head.
Looks like you beat me to it.
That song is, um...
It's nice. Is it new?
Yeah, it's new.
But I'm still singing the same tune.
[TRACE CHUCKLES]
Abby, listen...
I'm not going anywhere.
-And I'm not giving up on us. -Trace...
