Chesapeake Shores (2016) s02e10 Episode Script

1 Previously on Chesapeake Shores I'm not trying to be Carrie and Caitlyn's dad but I wanna be there for them.
Uh oh I ordered a thousand? He paid the entire costs of the books Ten thousand dollars! He's pulling out of the deal.
He gives me false information that'll destroy my brother's reputation and I don't use it? I have this case in New York - I could use the help.
- Aah.
You wanna resign with a major label? Maybe we shouldn't waste this opportunity.
Everything is just changing so fast.
Didn't think I'd see you here tonight But I guess I really should have known Well I guess I went and let things fall away And I promised you that I was gonna change But it's too late I love that song, but it always makes me sad.
That line: "I promised you that I was gonna change", but it's too late.
" It s just a song, Abby.
I do not believe that you believe that.
Everything you ve ever written is from your heart.
Sometimes when you write what you write, it s true at the time, some people change.
Songs don t.
Hey Abby? Trace? Traaaaace! Come play with us! You don t have to go.
I know.
Coming.
So what're we gonna do? We're gonna play tag! 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 got me all wrong I don't regret this life you chose for me I said these places and these faces are getting old So I'm going home I'm going home Welcome to the Chesapeake Shores Art Walk! As you venture in, you'll walk by art, and face painting, and You forgot writers! Jess, you're not helping.
And writers, too! Remember that we are all artists at heart.
We hope that you are inspired to find the art that is inside of you.
That's it, Kev! Kev packed my blue dress shirt.
We hope that you find the art that's inside you and just put it out there and share it with people! Oh my gosh, I'm just sweating! Why did I even say I was gonna do this? That was really good! - I liked it! - That was your best yet.
I m just not comfortable speaking in front of so many people.
So many is why it's so fun.
For you.
I do it all the time, and I hate it.
I feel like people just look through me.
Or are about to throw things at you.
All right that s it, I'm not doing it.
Hey, does anybody know who is this? And why he's in our attic? I found him shoved behind the flume.
Gran, do you? I don't know, but it's an interesting photograph.
Girls, I love your artwork.
- Thank you, Nana! - Thanks! Maybe he was in the attic when we first bought the house? Well then that makes him my mystery man.
I think I m going to hang him at my booth and let people make up stories about him.
Where he's from and what he did.
What his biggest regrets are.
Well that's a lovely idea.
Don t take my stuff.
I don t even like that shirt.
Oh come on, you love the shirt.
Okay, let's have a toast to Kevin.
Well, let's have a pancake to Kevin.
To his new apartment.
May you have warm words on a cold evening, may you have a full moon on a dark night, and may your path home always be downhill, right to the front door.
Cheers! Cling! Good job.
One, two, three, four! I could ride the wind, walk on water Leap tall buildings at a single bound Whatever comes, it don't matter Because I can fly ten miles off the ground The way I feel right now All right, the harmonies on that second chorus still need some work.
What do you think about bringing it up a fifth? - Yeah, piece of cake.
- Cool.
Okay, that brings us to Odd Man Out.
Is there a problem, John? It s not a problem, it s more just trying to understand what we re still doing here.
After two weeks, we know these songs.
Yeah, but we don t know the dynamics of the show.
What songs, what order, where to find the big moments, where to bring it down.
Just seems like an awful lot of work for an Art Walk.
Springsteen played Ashbury Park.
Yeah, the Rolling Stones plays dives before they tour And we re playing a fair for free.
I got a family to support, if I'm not out on the road making money, I just don't much see the point.
Look, we're all making sacrifices.
Yeah, I don't see Trace making any.
We're in his club, in his hometown, he still gets to be with his girlfriend.
Don't even go there, John.
I'm not keeping you from your family.
You can go back to Nashville anytime you want.
All right, okay? I m just a little bit tired.
I just don't know how many shots we're gonna get.
If you don't want to sign with Mark Hall, fine.
But what about one of the other labels? We can't just stay here spinning our wheels in Chesapeake Shores.
Leigh? I can't believe I'm saying this But lets call Mark.
Okay.
Pick it up on that second chorus again? Look, all I'm saying is that I want to talk.
Which is exactly why we don't need to talk.
Because needing to talk implies bad news.
Jess, I m leaving.
You re leaving me? - Who blurts out a break up? - I'm not breaking up with you, I'm breaking up with the Inn.
I need to leave it, not you, for awhile.
Why? And don't say I don't pay you enough because I clearly don't, so that can't be the problem.
No, the sort-of-paying is okay.
And I like working here, and I like you.
But my family needs me for awhile.
Wait a minute, do you hear that? What? It's the Inn.
It's saying, "Wait! Don't break up with me!" I need you and Jess cannot deal with this right now, okay? The Inn and I need to have to talk - Hey Dad? - Yeah? - Dad, can I talk to you for a sec? - Sure.
Uh I want to talk to you about what I've been doing since I stopped working at the law firm.
Great, I'd love that.
I've been doing research for Uncle Thomas, for the foundation.
- I figured something was up.
- And he offered me There was a full time position available, and I took it.
I know this isn't what you originally thought I'd be doing, but No, I was just gonna say, if it's something you like, then I wish you well.
You're not upset? Connor, it doesn't bother me that you're working for my brother.
What bothers me is that you've been so secretive about it.
Yeah, I didn't know how'd you react.
Then that says a lot about us, doesn't it? Wow.
So when did they say they want the completed first draft of your manuscript? In order to publish it by next summer, they needed it by last week.
So what are you doing? I'm typing like crazy and sending in chapters dated back to July.
That's good, is it working? I don't think so, they just don't think I can tell time.
I would think that you'd be a little happier? I am happy, I just it bothers me Simon didn't ask my permission before sending it in.
Maybe he forgot? You forget birthdays, you forget your keys, but you don't just accidentally submit somebody's manuscript and forget to tell them about it.
- Yeah.
- Am I right? Kinda.
Wow, I know you've been looking for sponsors, but you got Ford Warriors in Pink? They supported our cause and made a big impact.
It's true, they do a lot to raise funds and inspire those in the fight against breast cancer.
- That's why I'm wearing this scarf.
- Well they sound very dedicated.
In all the right ways.
Unlike Simon Atwater Don't mind her.
I actually like this one too.
Cory and I had a great time at Carrie s birthday party.
Thanks again for inviting us.
Of course, I was so happy to finally meet Cory.
I've heard so much about him from Carrie.
Oh really? Yes, apparently he's quite the kickball player.
According to Cory, Carrie's got a pretty mean kick as well.
- Well, that's high praise.
- You have no idea.
For Cory to even mention a girl, that's huge.
Well, here you go.
Wow look at that, a little light reading.
Just sign the confidentiality agreement, and the room is yours.
Okay.
- Real quick, just one question for you.
- Sure.
Do you think this is a good deal? Douglas, that's for you to decide.
Don't get me wrong, I'm going to read all of this, but I know you represented Matt Fox in the original deal, and I've heard rumors of why he left, your reputation in New York is that you're a straight shooter, so, I'm just going to ask you straight: did Matt Fox leave because this deal went sour? Is this a good deal? Honestly, it's a great deal.
- Yeah? - Yeah.
Okay great, thanks.
Good luck.
You look exhausted.
Doing double duty.
I moved into the new apartment this morning, - and I start classes on Monday.
- Congrats on your new place, but Wait, you got accepted into medical school that quickly? Paramedic training.
It's only seven months, thanks to my Army background.
What changed? I decided I should be doing what I want to do, not what people expect me to do.
Putting people back together again? Yeah, but for now it's just two bookshelves and a dresser.
I would've helped but every time I build one, there s always extra pieces.
You know there's not supposed to be, right? Which is why I can't put books on my bookshelf.
All right well, that is surprising.
You seem like you'd be handy with a screwdriver.
I know, but when it comes to tools, I m pretty much useless.
So of course, they put me in charge of building the firefighting booth at the Art Walk, which I'm 100% certain will collapse.
On the plus side, after I rescue the same people that I injure, I'll probably get a medal.
Well, good luck with that.
Maybe you could help? Rescue people? To prevent me from hurting them.
Maybe you could help me build the tent? If it s anything like last go round, tours are typically two weeks on, one week off.
Well that s not so bad.
It really isn t.
I hired two new people to help out at the club, - so it'll be like - It'll be like you never left.
I do like this club.
Mark.
And I've been seeing the bookings you've been making.
Looks like the band's going to be pretty busy in the next month or so, some decent clubs.
- Maam.
- Hi.
So, I figured if I was going to re-sign you, I needed to show you and not tell you.
You can go ahead and roll that out if you'd like.
I had it mocked up just this once, but if you agree, there will be thousands of them.
What did I tell you? Re-sign with me, as a band, and in four days you'll be joining our biggest act on tour in Atlanta.
Where in Atlanta, what clubs? Not clubs, arenas.
Playing for thirty thousand people, a twenty minute set opening for Lena Brooks.
Seattle, Denver, Dallas, LA, San Francisco, then Europe.
You re going everywhere And it's for six months with an option for two more.
- Honestly, I thought you'd be excited.
- I am, but I'm also not.
Because now I have to rush the last third of my book, and I don't even get to consider how my family is gonna feel if this gets published.
Not only are we O'Briens complicated, we re also joined at the hip, so I have an emergency! - Hi Simon! - Hi! Jess, it's always an emergency.
No, this is an actual, real emergency.
- David is leaving me.
- What? Okay, he's not leaving leaving me, but he's leaving the B&B.
Apparently he's rich, or a crook, or both.
Okay, I don't know where to start.
I'm clearly not over Sarah! - Hey.
- Hey.
I don't know if I have enough money to pay a new cook.
Wait, I thought you and Sarah were over? So did I, but now I'm building her tent.
Oh, that's nice of you! Okay, so how much were you paying David? I don't know.
When I actually paid him? Not much.
For the first month, I only paid him for the food mostly.
Wait, David paid for the food, too? I think I paid him back? It doesn't matter anyway, he's rich.
Rich? Or wealthy.
I don't know, is there a difference? Do you ever talk? Lately, it's mostly just kissing.
So, Sarah's friend-zoning you? I hear when you re friend-zoned, it's pretty much impossible to get out.
Yeah but I'm actually fine with it.
- Really? - No.
Cheers! Trace, this is the big time! An arena tour is not just about the music, it's a major production.
Look, we've been down this road, and this is exactly what I don't want.
What we do to be turned into some overproduced sideshow.
Over produced or not, we're getting the chance to play for an audience of thirty thousand.
Yeah, well, still.
It's a lot of travel.
All first class, with actual roadies.
No more hauling in gear for two hours before shows.
- Heck, that sounds nice.
- Yeah.
But it's six months on the road, I mean that's a serious commitment.
I just don't think we're ready.
You don't have to pull the plans, Mick.
We're not negotiating construction today.
No? Why is that? Without Matt Fox, you're not developing this land.
- No? - No, I hear things.
You don't have a partner anymore, Mick.
Well, I would check my sources if I were you.
Sometimes when you get information under the table, you don't know who dropped it.
Sometimes you do know who dropped it, and sometimes you know it's true.
Has Connor spoken to you recently? Yeah.
He just told me he's working for you now.
Good for him.
You're not implying that Connor gave you the information, are you? Of course not.
I'm just glad he told you that he's working with me.
I thought it would be better to come from him.
And you figured that out from years of parenting? From years of being your brother.
He needs to be able to stand up to you.
You know, I was thinking at some point, you and I would be able to honestly talk.
It's not that we can't honestly talk, it's that we just fundamentally disagree.
It's time to stop fighting, Mick.
The Trust is dead.
Yes, the Trust is dead.
Okay go.
Welcome to the Chesapeake Shores What's wrong with me? My heart is racing Okay Mom, this is what you need to do.
You need to just try to wallow in the worst.
Imagine the worst thing that could happen, and then realize that it never could.
Oh Abby, that is so not helping! Nell, what do you think? I'm sorry, I wasn't listening.
I was looking at the photo, the boy His biggest regret.
And darling, that was terrible advice you gave her.
I heard that wallowing part.
I just cannot do this! Abby, will you please just introduce Trace? I'm just getting used to saying goodbye to him.
Goodbye? Him and his band were offered a six month tour.
Wow! Abby, is he going to do it? I don't know.
- Now you re wallowing in the worst.
- Yeah, and it's not helping.
See? That's because we O'Briens are not good at wallowing.
You know, sometimes its nice to just dip your toe in You could have people doing that for you.
Yeah that's true, but when I set up my own equipment, it's exactly the way I want it.
Look Trace, I admire you for sticking to your guns, keeping your music real, but do you realize what I'm offering? You're piggybacking off a national tour that's costing millions to produce.
See that's the difference between you and me, Mark.
When you talk music, all I hear is money.
Because whether you like it or not, they're the same thing! But you knew that when you came to me the first time, didn't you? I had other priorities then Trace, I've been doing this for a long time, and every now and then, I've been lucky enough to be able to tell musicians they can spend the rest of their lives doing what they love.
So when they don't jump at the chance, in my experience, they're either scared, and you don't look scared, or they're afraid to leave something behind.
Or someone.
Let me tell you the one truth I know about success: You can't have it all.
Attach Pole E to Junction 23 with an A-38 screw.
Way ahead of you.
Then attach the support beam to Junction 23 with an A-27 screw.
You know, I'm really impressed.
That I can build a tent? That you decided to become a paramedic.
It seems like you.
It does, doesn't it? I like this.
You and I, hanging out, friends Although I'm not sure you re going to want to be my friend after this.
What's the problem? Are tent kits supposed to have extra pieces? Okay, he's not gonna let go.
I know, I was just checking.
Good idea.
I just need to balance You got it, can I let go? No, no, not yet.
You got it, Carrie! Dismount! My turn, my turn! So you're really not going on tour? I decided that the timing wasn't right.
I have too many responsibilities here.
Okay, I'm letting go.
You ready? - Yeah.
- Nice! It seems like such a huge opportunity.
Look, you came back to Chesapeake Shores because you wanted to be here, same as me.
Leaving now, with the club and everything It just wasn't the right time to walk away.
Can I go one more time? But don't let go until I say.
Okay, I won't let go.
I got it! Nice! So, the new chef will have to be able to start on Monday.
Monday? Why do you have to go so soon? Okay, the job entails breakfast, and afternoon cookies that are to be served with wine and cheese.
Why is he doing laundry? And laundry and lunch, sometimes dinner.
This is a bed and breakfast, the operative word being breakfast.
Oh, he also does gardening.
Electrical, guest services Handyman work, landscape, irrigation, sprinklers.
He also gave the high school $10,000 when I accidentally bought 1.
000 books.
- You what? - You knew? That's crazy! Whoa, my sister isn't crazy! Why didn't you say anything? If you wanted me to know, you would've told me.
- You get me so well! - You're fired! - I m not even hired.
- All I want is to get to know you.
Okay, my father is Dennis Lyle Peck.
You're a Boston Peck? Your family owns everything.
Not everything, just a little bit of everything.
- Wait, you really are rich? - My family is, yeah.
So why do you work here? - Why do you live in a tiny apartment? - And why do you work here? - I already asked him that.
- Right.
Because I didn't want to be a Boston Peck.
People treat you differently.
I wanted to be a chef, and if I stayed there, they would've groomed me to sit on company boards, which is boring.
I wanted to make it on my own.
Okay wow, so that explains the $10.
000 and how you survive without me paying you most of the time.
Wait, you don't pay? I do when I can.
But now my Dad is sick and he wants me to take over, just until he recovers.
- In Boston? - Yes, and overseas in Paris.
The Paris in France? That'd be the one.
From what I heard, and you know how rumors move around Wall Street, is that Matt Fox asked you to sell out your brother and you refused.
That's an interesting one.
I also heard you went toe-to-toe with Fox.
Now that's impressive.
Well, you know how rumors work.
I do, especially when I'm pretty sure that it's true.
Or maybe I just want it to be true.
When the legend exceeds the truth, you print the legend.
Ultimately I think people believe what they want to believe.
Indeed.
Personally, I don't like dealing with Fox.
It's one thing to have a killer instinct, and a whole other thing to actually enjoy the kill.
I'll tell you another thing I've heard: Abby is the only one to tell Fox he's wrong and survive.
That is true.
Well, good for you.
All right, shall we get down to business? How fast do you need the money to finance development? Permits and plans are ready.
We can go anytime.
Okay, and what about your brother? What've you heard? I heard the battle isn't over between the two of you.
Unfortunately, that part is true too.
Okay, so you sure that you're not gonna have a problem with this? Yeah.
Yes, I'm sure.
All right.
- It's gonna be fun.
- Thank you.
Thank you.
Well, we have a few other things that we should I can't believe my Dad would suspect that I would tell you anything about the Trust.
I know.
When he asked me if you were the one who told me that he lost his partner, I couldn't believe it and I'm sorry.
It's not your fault.
The funny thing is he was just talking about keeping secrets and I come to find out he was keeping one of his own.
I told him it wasn't you.
Did he believe you? I don't know.
So what do I do now, Uncle Thomas? He's my dad.
And I'm not, so you need to talk to him.
Face to face.
So that's it, huh? Connor, I don't know how to be a dad, but Mick and I, we spent most of our lives not talking, and that didn't fix anything either.
So be inspired and find your art! In you Nell, a little help? Nell? I know who the boy is.
Dillon O'Malley, I took that photograph the day I left Ireland.
And although I wonder what his biggest regret is, I know mine.
I never told him how I felt about him.
So, about your speech.
Never mind what you think you're supposed to say.
Megan, you tell me what you want to say.
I just want to tell people why art is important.
Well then forget about the words.
Think about what you're feeling.
You think about what you want to say, how you feel it, and then feel it from the heart, okay? So, I traded a Martin for an author who may or may not also be a Martin.
At least he has attractive an English accent.
Grandma Nell prefers Irish accents.
Me too! Accents are a total game changer.
I do know that Trace isn't going anywhere.
I thought you said he was going on tour? He decided not to go.
What? - No.
- Oh.
That's not so good.
Why? Abs, he's giving up everything for you.
Normally I would say that's amazing Gran, help me out.
Look Abby, every relationship has to have balance.
It's like a cosmic scale.
And if you don't both respect each other equally, one is going to disappear.
And I left Trace for New York and had my chance.
If I don't let him go, he will always resent me.
Okay so, what's the problem? You're being oddly more distant than usual.
Yeah, umm Simon, I think you should just go back to England or wherever it is that you're from.
- England.
- Yeah, I think you should go back.
- Bree? - Yeah? I'm not Martin.
I'm not even remotely Martin.
I don't even know who Martin is, but how he treated you, I'm not a fan of Martin.
I'd never change your words, I'd never change what you say and if what came out of you was hurtful, or loving or kind But you treated me the way Martin would.
In order to help me, you made decisions on my behalf.
I can't do that again.
Even if your intentions are good You know, Bree, I've always believed that life is more about - Re-writing than writing? - Exactly! And I wish that I could re-write what I did and I promise that if you give me one more chance, I will never do anything to hurt you again.
- I'm gonna regret this - No.
A million times, but if I don't do this, I have to face the fact that seven years in Chicago taught me nothing.
Yeah.
I'm sorry.
Okay.
I'm gonna blow up the kitchen.
Relax, there's almost no chance that anything will explode.
Almost? Well, 80%.
80% that it will explode, or it won't? Jess, the oven You're doing fine.
Right, okay.
Why didn't you tell me who you were? It wouldn't have changed anything, I still would've hired you as my cook.
I just wouldn't have felt bad about not paying you.
Don't forget the parmesean shavings.
Right! I wanted to tell you who I was for the longest time, but I didn't want it to change anything between us.
I wanted you to see me for me.
And not as a Boston Peck? When you say it that way, it sounds kind of silly.
The Inn is gonna be okay.
Which leaves just me.
When you leave, don't say goodbye to me, okay? Okay.
Don't do it We have wonderful local artists, and fantastic musicians too.
All of which represent the very best of Chesapeake Shores.
Uh Kevin? Is this good or bad? I'd say that it's bad.
You re not going to try to save me, are you? Because I don't think you'll get a medal for that.
Trust me, you don't need saving.
You know these last two months, with you and the girls, it's been everything that I've ever wanted.
And I never want to lose that again.
I know that I can't have everything that I want right now.
Abby what are you talking about? Look Trace, I know that you would do anything for me.
And the girls.
And what makes this the hardest thing in the world is that, I can't let you do that.
This is too big of an opportunity, Trace.
You will regret it, I'll regret it.
Abby, what are you doing? I love you Abby, I want to spend the rest of my life with you.
Trace I love you, too.
I don't know if I can handle losing you again.
I can't handle losing you either.
But if we're meant to be, then this isn't the end.
Hey Thomas.
Mick! I'm leaving for California tonight, I thought I'd check this out first.
Have a safe flight.
I'm going to Machu Picchu.
Really? Yeah, you know I've always wanted to go since we were kids.
We never do leave some things behind, do we? We leave enough behind and then we move on.
So where does that leave you and me? I don't know.
I know you're gonna fight me on the Trust and Connor's probably gonna join you.
Eventually I'm hoping it'll be business as usual.
That's not a threat, right? No, it's just an observation.
I never threaten people I love.
Oh, I almost forgot.
I've got a new partner and we're gonna break ground as soon as I get back.
- Have fun in California! - I may not be going.
Suit yourself, I'll send you a postcard from Peru.
He's cute.
He is.
He d probably break our hearts.
Oh, definitely.
You know what s really sad? We are very impressive women.
We are capable, we're motivated, we are good sisters, we're great aunts, you're an amazing mom But we just cannot get men right, can we? No, not even a little right.
Men Maybe all we need to do is get rid of men.
You know, we'll just hang out, the three of us.
There'll be no men to mess up our lives.
- No complications.
- No disappointments.
No surprises.
No more broken hearts.
- My sisters.
- Yeah.
[APPLAUSE.]
