Virgin River (2019) s03e03 Episode Script

1
Oh my gosh, Lilly. I'm so sorry.
When were you diagnosed?
Um, about four weeks ago.
[LILLY INHALES DEEPLY]
I I had a twinge in my back,
um, and I'd lost some weight,
and I didn't wanna alarm anybody.
So I went to see a Dr.
Baines in Clear River.
She did some tests.
- Did you have a CT scan?
- Yeah, in Grace Valley.
What were the results?
I have pancreatic cancer.
Stage 4.
[GASPS QUIETLY] Oh, Lilly.
I know.
I know.
When she told me,
I, um
felt like the Earth stopped spinning.
- Have you had a second opinion?
- Yeah. Yeah, I have. It's the same.
I'd like to list you
as my emergency contact.
Uh, but what about Tara?
No, I haven't told her. I'm
not ready to tell anybody.
Knowing that I'm leaving my
kids without a mother is, um
[INHALES]
[GROANS]
tearing my heart out.
Lilly, what can I do?
Allow me to use you as my contact.
Of course.
- Of course.
- Okay.
But, um
with this kind of diagnosis, the
more support you have, the better.
No, I I'm not I
don't want to go there yet.
- I should be getting home.
- Okay.
Um, please, please, don't tell anyone.
Lilly, I I promise
I won't, but, uh, ju
God, Lilly, just [SIGHS]
just know if you ever
need me, I'm here whenever.
Thank you.
[THEME MUSIC PLAYING]
[JACK] I hoped you'd be awake
when I got home last night.
I know. I'm sorry.
After Lilly stopped by, I
I was so tired, I passed out.
Pretty late for a visit.
Yeah, she just had some stuff
she wanted to talk about.
And is "stuff" code
for "can't discuss it"?
- [MEL] Mm-hmm.
- Hm.
[JACK INHALES]
[PLAYFULLY] Well, then,
what shall we talk about?
Unless
there's something that
you'd rather do instead?
[MEL] Mmm!
[MOANING]
[MOANING]
[KNOCKING AT DOOR]
- [MEL GROANS]
- [JACK SIGHS]
You gotta be kidding me.
[INHALES] I'll get it.
- I can get it.
- No, no, no. You stay right there.
I'll deal with this. I'll be right back.
[DOOR OPENS]
- Oh, hey, June.
- Jack.
I have a certified letter for Mel.
Hey, June.
Uh
You could sign for her.
[JACK] Sure.
- Here you go.
- You have a great day.
You too.
- What is this?
- Yeah. Who's it from?
Stacie.
- Mark's sister.
- Yeah, no, I remember her.
Yeah. She likes to make an impression.
What's wrong?
She's, um, pregnant. [RUEFUL SIGH]
[SIGHS]
You, um
you want some water?
[BRIE] Sure.
I'd, uh I'd make you
some eggs if I had any.
- Don't worry about it. [CLEARS THROAT]
- Oh.
Uh, I just need a ride back to
the bar so I can pick up my car.
Oh.
Yeah.
That I can do.
- Cool.
- [BRADY] Cool.
See, I would've taken
you for a Harley guy.
[CHUCKLES] You raise the suspension?
- Yep.
- Nice.
So, you're into bikes?
In law school, I dated a guy
whose dad was a bigwig at Triumph.
Oh.
I see.
He was a jerk, but I loved
riding on the back of his bike.
[CHUCKLES]
Well, I can take you out.
Um
I don't know.
Last night was fun,
but I am not looking
to hang out, you know?
Yeah.
Who said anything about hanging out?
I mean, all we'd be doing is just, uh,
taking the long way back to your car.
But, hey,
it's your choice.
[BRIE SCOFFS]
I'm not gonna ask twice.
[WISTFUL POP MUSIC PLAYING]
[MOTOR STARTS]
Hold on.
I get restless, I get lost ♪
I just wanna feel okay ♪
I just wanna feel okay ♪
[SONG FADES]
Mel?
You all right?
[SNIFFLES]
[BRIGHTLY] Uh-huh.
[SNIFFLES]
[JACK] You sure?
[SIGHS, SNIFFLES]
Yeah, yeah.
Um, I'll be out in a second.
[SNIFFLES, BREATHES SHAKILY]
[SNIFFLES]
[BREATHES SHAKILY]
[BREATHES DEEPLY, EXHALES]
[LATCH CLICKS]
[JACK] Hey.
Um, do you want some orange juice?
Sure.
[JACK EXHALES]
[MEL SNIFFLES]
Do you wanna talk about it?
[MEL SNIFFLES]
[MEL SIGHS]
It's just the last time
[INHALES DEEPLY]
I removed a sonogram from
an envelope, it was mine. [SIGHS]
And it just caught me
a little by surprise.
- I'm sorry, I didn't
- No, wait. No, no, no, babe.
- [MEL SIGHS SOFTLY]
- No, don't be sorry.
[MEL SNIFFLES]
[JACK SIGHS]
You know, I bet a lot of people
who went through what you did
don't ever recover.
And you've built a whole
new life for yourself.
And it takes incredible
strength to do that.
You know, I used to think
that I could handle anything.
But now, when I look at
myself, I just see weakness.
No.
Babe.
[MEL SNIFFLES]
It's because you don't see what I see.
[MEL BREATHES SHAKILY]
[MEL] Thank you.
[JACK SIGHS SOFTLY]
That, uh, that helps.
[SNIFFLES]
Come here.
[CHATTERING]
So, what did Doc say?
[JO ELLEN] The hurricane's
moved on, but the power's out,
and all the islands are flooded.
I've never heard Doc so upset.
[LILLY] Can you blame him?
Not knowing what's happened to
Hope is driving all of us crazy.
Well, you know, actually, tornadoes
cause more deaths than hurricanes.
How is that helpful?
- Odds are Hope is alive.
- What kind of cockamamie logic is that?
- "Cockamamie"?
- [LILLY] Okay. It doesn't matter. Really.
Right now, all we can do
for Hope is support Doc.
I agree with Lilly.
We just have to figure out how to help.
I'll be right back.
What is with her? She's so cranky.
- What is it?
- It's from Paige.
Oh.
She thinks Vince is
close to finding her.
She's already had to move three times.
- Oh my Lord!
- Yeah.
She also sent along a medical
letter of consent for Christopher.
- That's good to have.
- You know, he keeps asking about her.
I, uh, I don't know what to tell him.
Just tell him that she loves him,
and she'll be back as soon as she can.
Yeah.
[INHALES DEEPLY]
What if she doesn't make it back?
Oh. You can't think like that.
You've gotta stay
strong for Christopher.
- Hm?
- Yeah.
[LIZZIE] Good morning, sir.
What can I get you today?
[LIZZIE] Coffee? A doughnut?
Ah, I just came by to say hi.
Well, hi back. Oh, hold on.
I made you a gift for
taking me to the cabin.
Well, that was fun. [CHUCKLES]
What is this?
It's a soft pretzel dipped in
chocolate, coated in powdered coffee.
I call it an "espretzel."
[CHUCKLING]
- Mmm! Oh, it's good.
- Thanks.
So, do you want me to come over tonight?
My grandma will be home.
I know. [CHUCKLES]
Yeah. Yeah, that'd be awesome.
We could watch a movie,
make some popcorn.
See you later.
[LIZZIE GIGGLES]
[MOTOR STARTS]
Can I get a large latte with
skim, no foam, extra hot?
Oh my God! Parker!
- Hey, ladies.
- Oh, hey.
- Hi.
- Um
Can I talk to you for a sec?
- Yeah, sure.
- Thanks.
- I'll be right back.
- [MURIEL] Okay.
Um
Listen, I've been thinking about
our conversation last night.
I'm so sorry. I shouldn't
have bothered you.
No, no. I I'm so
glad that you told me.
Um, I just [SIGHS]
I just wanted to say again that I
I think it's really important
that you don't isolate yourself
during this incredibly stressful time.
Yeah.
I don't wanna be a burden.
Lilly [SIGHS]
you're gonna need help,
both physically and emotionally.
Trust me. This isn't something
that you can do by yourself.
Look, this is my fault.
I shouldn't have asked
you to take this on.
You already have too much with
Jack and and the clinic, and
- No, that's not it. I
- Don't worry.
[HESITATES] I'll find somebody
else to be my emergency contact.
Lilly! You have
- [DOOR CLOSES]
- [MEL SIGHS]
So, then, I am confirmed
10:30 p.m. tonight, right?
[DOOR OPENS]
And you're sure that's the
earliest flight available?
Uh, okay. Thanks so much.
- [SIGHS]
- Was that Hope?
[SIGHS] Actually, I
was on with the airline.
I'm flying to Atlanta, and
then I am driving to Port Royal.
But all the news reports said
the coastal towns in
South Carolina are flooded.
Yeah, which is exactly why I am going.
I can't just sit here waiting.
I've got to do something.
I get it, but you don't even know
where Hope is or if you can get to her.
Then I'll travel by raft,
and I'll knock on every door.
I'll do whatever I
have to do to find her.
Doc, think about what you
could be up against here.
Come on! When a city's flooded,
the water's contaminated.
You can get electrocuted.
What if it was Mel who was
in Port Royal right now?
What would you do?
All right, then I'm going with you.
Look, I really appreciate
the offer, but
[SIGHS]
I gotta do this solo. I don't
wanna put anybody else in danger.
Come on. Be reasonable.
Reasonable? [SCOFFS]
You, of all people, should know
that when it comes to someone you love,
reason, it doesn't stand a chance.
The festival was sick.
And when I heard Moon and Honey,
I started thinking about us,
so I decided to make a
detour on my way back to LA.
How did you know how to find me?
I asked the cashier at the gas station,
and he gave me the address
to your aunt's store.
Everyone knows everyone around here.
Yeah, I know.
That freaks me out.
I like my privacy.
Yeah, then you're
definitely in the wrong town.
I know.
I came here for us.
There's no us anymore.
- Which is a tragedy.
- More like ancient history.
[CELL PHONE CHIMES]
Oh, it's my aunt. I gotta get to work.
But we can hang out after.
All right.
Where do you wanna meet?
Curly's.
Once I've done my shift,
I'll text you the address.
Cool.
I'll see you later.
Hey, table six needs their burrito.
- You mean Charlie?
- Yeah.
That's his burrito.
Which is getting cold.
Uh, there you go.
[NERVOUSLY] So, you need hot sauce
or Tabasco or
Tabasco is hot sauce, son.
[LAUGHS NERVOUSLY]
You got something on your mind?
Um
The other day when I
saw you at the cabins,
you didn't, by chance,
mention it to anyone?
Relax, kid. I didn't tell
anyone about your date.
Oh, we were just hanging out.
It's none of my business.
Great. [CHUCKLES]
Uh, thank you so much for being cool.
But it seems to me that
you're looking for approval.
I just
- I don't want you to think less of me.
- You're 18.
- You're a man now.
- [NERVOUSLY] Okay
Real men don't need
the approval of others.
They just need the strength
of their convictions.
[CHUCKLES SOFTLY]
- This place is stunning.
- Yeah.
It has The Bachelor written all over it.
Never seen it.
Although, I'm assuming
that means you like it.
[BRIE] It's like a movie set.
What's your favorite movie?
No, it's embarrassing.
Come on.
Fine. I love Legally Blonde.
- [SNICKERS]
- [BRIE] Don't make fun of me.
Wasn't gonna.
What's yours?
The Sting.
Oh, I don't know that one.
- You serious?
- Mm.
With Paul Newman and Robert
Redford about the con job?
Yeah, I don't
Oh! No, no. We're gonna
need to get you caught up.
- You're missing out.
- [BRIE LAUGHS]
So you are a big movie guy.
Mostly the, uh, classic stuff.
My parents had a messed-up relationship,
so I'd spend a lot
of time with my uncle.
We watched a lot of movies.
So, what do you do when you're
not working or watching movies?
I hang out at bars, work on my bike.
- How long have you had it?
- Uh, this one? About a month.
But I also have a ten-year-old Yamaha.
Did you ride when you were a kid?
Yep. My uncle got me into dirt biking
to keep me out of trouble.
Did it work?
No.
[CHUCKLES]
At least he tried. That's
more than my parents ever did.
So, how long you in Virgin River for?
[INHALES]
Well, I don't have
anywhere I need to be.
- Hm.
- And I kind of like it here.
What do you like about it?
- The scenery, mostly.
- Oh.
- Yeah.
- [BRIE CHUCKLES]
It's beautiful.
I'm a million little pieces ♪
'Cause I wanna be believed in ♪
I'm a rhyme without a reason ♪
But I can't seem to find a purpose ♪
I just wanna feel okay ♪
I just wanna feel okay ♪
[JACK] Hey!
Hey.
What you doing out here?
Just thinkin'.
- [JACK] You okay?
- Yeah, I'm fine.
Mel.
- What?
- Come on.
I thought we'd be open with each other.
I just wanna feel okay ♪
[SONG FADES]
Stacie knows that Mark and
I had fertility problems.
Her sending me a sonogram certified mail
feels like she's rubbing my nose in it.
Why would she do that?
Because I didn't give her the ring back.
Is it possible she's
just being oblivious?
Stacie is type A. She doesn't
do anything without a plan.
If that's the case, I'm sorry.
I mean, that's a pretty
terrible thing to do.
Maybe I should've just
given her the ring.
No! Hey, hey!
That ring is yours to keep.
You want me to track her down?
I don't know, give
her a piece of my mind?
Yeah? What would you say?
Tell her to stop being
passive-aggressive.
Start acting like a grown-up.
You're being very cute right now.
- Really?
- Uh-huh.
I thought I was cute all the time.
You are.
By the way, I went and saw Doc.
How is he doing? He's
not been calling me back.
No, he's planning on flying to Atlanta,
and then he's gonna drive
to Port Royal to find Hope.
He's gonna enter into
a flood zone by himself?
I offered to go with
him, but he refused.
I have to go to the clinic and
straighten this out. It's
But I'll see you later, right?
- Yeah.
- Okay.
- You didn't return my texts.
- My phone died.
- I thought we were meeting at Curly's.
- Yeah, but I saw this place.
Check out the dead
animal heads on the wall.
Uh-huh, it's gross.
Why don't we go to Curly's?
Liz, chill out. I ordered fries.
You know I hate it when you call me Liz.
I know, but you're so
adorable when you're mad.
- [PARKER] Thanks, man.
- [LIZZIE] Hey, Ricky. This is Parker.
Parker, this is Ricky.
Parker is a friend from
LA who decided to drop by
unannounced.
Hey.
Hey.
How do you two know each other?
You work at the bakery truck too?
No. I'm Lizzie's boyfriend.
Seriously?
Yes, seriously.
Oh.
Good for you guys.
Hey, man, can you bring
me a sparkling water?
Sure.
Dude, don't be an ass.
I'm not. I'm genuinely thirsty.
Unlike you, Ricky is sweet
and would do anything for me.
Good.
You deserve that.
I know I didn't appreciate
you when I had the chance.
Yeah, you blew it.
I did, and now I wanna make amends.
I'm over it. Apology accepted.
Lizzie
I really wanna make things up to you.
[MEL] I won't let you enter a flood
zone two days after a hurricane!
It's a good thing you're
not in charge of me.
Doesn't mean I don't care
about what happens to you.
Look, I survived the Tet Offensive.
I think I can handle myself.
That was a long time ago.
Oh, so you think just because
I'm old, I must be weak, huh?
No, no, this has nothing
to do with how old you are.
Well, what does it have to do with?
Your personal safety.
Well, I appreciate your concern,
but I'm tougher than I look.
- Oh, really?
- Yeah.
Uh-huh. When was the last time
you treaded water for 30 minutes
or lifted a body over your head?
Look [SIGHS]
don't you understand?
If Hope is trapped somewhere,
and there's something I could've
done about it and I didn't,
I will never forgive myself.
Look, I know.
But for all you know, she
could be perfectly safe,
and you are going
there risking your life.
I'd rather take the risk
than have to live with regret.
Yeah.
[DOC] I, um
- I promise you I will stay in touch.
- Okay.
You better.
[LILLY] I didn't want to interrupt.
[MEL] Oh, Lilly.
- I'm so glad you came by.
- I'm really sorry about today.
No, no. I'm the one who's sorry.
I shouldn't have pushed you.
I want to explain, okay? Um
The reason I don't want anyone to know
is I have some hard decisions to make,
and I don't want anyone
second-guessing me.
Have you been given treatment options?
Yeah. The cancer is incurable,
but the doctor's recommending
chemo and radiation therapy together
to give me the best chance
of extending my life.
And the problem with
that is the side effects.
What about surgery?
Yeah, it's also a possibility.
What's the point
of living a few months
longer if I can't function?
[CELL PHONE RINGS]
- Could you hold her for a second?
- Of course.
Here you go.
Just, it might be Tara.
[LILLY] Okay.
Thank you. Hello?
- Hello.
- [BABY GURGLES]
- Yeah.
- [BABY COOS]
Preach! Hey, Preacher!
Whoa! Where's the fire, mister?
- Guess what happened today.
- Well, let me see.
You found buried treasure?
Better. I got invited to a sleepover.
His name's Owen. He's
the same age as me.
It's his brother's birthday,
but his parents are
letting him bring a friend,
and he asked me. I think
I'm his new best friend.
Hey, listen. I am so happy
that you and Owen are friends.
I can't let you go to the sleepover.
I don't know his family,
and it's my responsibility
to keep you safe.
You could talk to his mom on the
phone. Owen says she's super nice.
Sorry, kiddo. The answer's no.
- But why?
- Because, it's like I said.
I don't know his family, and
it is just not the right time.
But Owen will ask someone
else, and we won't be friends.
- Hey, I am sure that's not true.
- You don't understand.
- Christopher.
- I hate it here!
[PREACHER SIGHS]
[DOOR SLAMS]
You had no choice.
Leave him be for now.
Yeah.
[CHUCKLES]
Thanks.
- [BABY GURGLES]
- [LILLY] Oh. Hey.
- Hey.
- Thank you.
- She likes the trees.
- Oh, she sure does. Hey.
You're so good with her.
Aw. Comes with the midwife territory.
- Everything okay?
- Oh, yeah.
Just the usual battle over which
kind of milk to get. [SIGHS]
Aw, she really likes you.
- I like her too.
- Mm.
I don't know if it's appropriate,
but I'm just gonna ask.
Would you consider trying again?
Oh gosh, um
You're still young. Come on. You
and Jack are wonderful together.
Yeah, our relationship is so new, and,
I mean, he's having twins. It's
Those are reasons to say no.
Unless it's something
you really want. [INHALES]
Yeah. I don't know. I
would love to have a baby,
but I'm fine I'm fine
if it doesn't happen.
Doesn't sound like you're fine with it.
I don't even know if I have a choice.
I don't even know if I can get pregnant.
Honey, we all have choices.
We may not like them.
They may not look how we pictured them.
But they're right in front of us.
You just have to
decide what's important.
Anyway [CHUCKLES]
Hmm.
Sweet girl.
[MEL] Hmm.
- Where you been?
- Out.
Uh-huh.
Since yesterday?
Aren't you always
telling me to lighten up?
What's going on with you?
Jack, I am not in the
mood for a lecture.
Hey, hey, I'm not lecturing
you. I care about you, okay?
I wanna know what's going on.
I
quit my job.
[SCOFFS]
Okay.
- You're serious?
- It's not that big of a deal.
- But I thought you loved your job?
- Well, things changed.
Okay.
You'll get a new one.
Yeah. It's not that simple.
- I'll wait for you right here.
- Okay. Thanks.
- Hey, Jack.
- Hey.
Hey, uh
Jack, right?
Still Jack.
You want me to send a server over?
No, thanks. We just stopped in
so Char can use the ladies' room.
- Hm.
- We're on our way back from McKinleyville.
Hm, heck of a drive.
- We spent the day with a pregnancy coach.
- Hm?
I want Char to feel comfortable
with Lamaze when she goes into labor.
Good idea.
We talked about getting a doula
to assist Doc at the clinic.
- You know, help her relax.
- Yeah.
I don't think she's gonna end
up giving birth at the clinic.
What are you talking about?
I just think she should have
the babies at a hospital.
That's what I've been saying all along.
I mean, the clinic was the compromise.
I pretty much convinced her to have
them at St. Sebastian's in Eureka.
My family is one of
their biggest donors.
She'll have all the bells and whistles.
- Nice.
- [CHARMAINE SIGHS]
[CHUCKLES] I just couldn't hold
it all the way to Clear River.
Hey, uh, can I talk to you for a minute?
Yeah, sure.
Okay? Yeah.
So, uh, Todd says you're having
the twins in a hospital in Eureka.
Yeah, like three generations
of his family were born there.
- So what about the birthing plan?
- What about it?
You're just throwing
that out the window?
[SIGHS] Jack, I thought you
wanted me to deliver in a hospital?
Yeah, I do. But
[SCOFFS] it would've been
nice to have been consulted
before you changed the plan, that's all.
Okay, um, let's just remember
that I'm the one that's
giving birth here.
And, uh,
I am the father.
Okay? Not Todd.
So, if you could just keep me in
the loop, I'd greatly appreciate it.
Jack, this is good.
How do you figure?
I know that you were having a hard time
adjusting to the whole
being a dad thing,
but now Todd's here,
and I'm not alone,
so you're free to live your life.
Charmaine, I think I made it clear
that I'm gonna be a hands-on father.
Well, you're not calling
the shots anymore, okay?
And you know what? You should
be thanking Todd for being here
because if it wasn't for him, the
twins and I would be in Portland.
What are you talking about?
Mel didn't tell you?
Huh! I mean, I had asked
her not to say anything,
but I just figured she would.
Before I met Todd,
my aunt and uncle invited me to
go live with them in Portland.
- Charmaine.
- I
I've gotta go. Okay?
Can you just please
Don't make this difficult.
- You all right?
- It's okay. Yeah. It's fine.
[DOOR OPENS]
[MURIEL] Hi.
How are you?
You know, Muriel, I [HESITATES]
I'm sorry, but I'm not
very good company right now.
Well, actually, I'm here on
official sewing circle business.
The girls and I wanted to do
something to help you and Hope,
so we came up with a few things
to help make your trip easier.
I'm sorry, I I'm not following you.
Connie has offered to house-sit.
Nick and Jo Ellen will
drive you to the airport.
I've arranged for a
hotel room in Atlanta
so you can sleep before
driving to Port Royal.
And this is from Lilly.
It's Buck's survival bag.
She said anything you need is in here.
[MURIEL CHUCKLING]
What? How on earth did you all
know I was going to Port Royal?
Lilly overheard you talking to Mel.
I appreciate you for understanding,
and what a wonderful friend you are.
Vernon
you can always count on me.
Thanks.
Are you sure you're up
for driving back tonight?
Yeah, I'm good.
I got a pack of energy
drinks in the trunk.
Cool.
What?
Nothing. Um
[LIZZIE] Tell me.
This isn't the right
time to bring it up.
Come on. You can't leave me hanging.
I'm opening up a club in LA.
Wow.
Congrats.
I want you to help me open the club.
[PARKER SIGHS] Come on.
You don't belong here.
And if you need a place to crash,
my dad's letting me use the beach house.
Rent-free.
Are you being serious right now?
Totally.
Move back to LA.
I don't know what to say.
Just say yes. [CHUCKLES]
Parker, I
I can't get into this right now.
I've gotta go.
[PARKER] Hey.
Is that a no?
I'll think about it.
All right.
Just don't make me wait too long.
[SIGHS]

[CELL PHONE RINGING]
Evening, son. How can I help you?
Uh I'm not sure yet. Uh
I'm Staff Sergeant Gomez.
Ricky Sudder.
I'm just just
looking for information.
You thinking about enlisting?
Yeah. Well, maybe.
Well, why don't you follow
me so we can find out
if you're a man worthy of wearing
a Marine Corps uniform? Come on.
[PREACHER] Wait until you see this.
Okay, you ready?
- Yeah.
- All right.
A-ha. Yeah?
- Whoa! Awesome!
- Check it out.
[PREACHER GROANS AND SIGHS]
[CHUCKLES] Hey?
- What's that?
- Spookiest ghost stories ever.
- Mua-ha-ha-ha!
- [CHRISTOPHER GIGGLES]
[PREACHER LAUGHS]
We're having s'mores?
Oh yeah, you bet. As soon
as we get the fire started.
Can we stay up late?
Late as you want.
- Can we go fishing in the morning?
- Well, I don't see why not.
[CHUCKLING]
[PREACHER SIGHS]
Hey, listen, buddy.
You know, I'm sorry I couldn't
let you go to that sleepover.
But your mom asked me to keep
you safe. I care about you.
- So that is what I'm gonna do.
- [SIGHS]
It's just everyone thinks
I'm weird, except for Owen.
I don't think you're weird.
- Connie doesn't think you're weird.
- That doesn't count.
You guys are grown-ups.
You have to be nice to me.
I'm nice to you because I like you.
You're a cool kid.
And if the other kids can't see
that, well, that is their loss.
[PREACHER INHALES SHARPLY] Hm.
You know what?
I don't actually hate it here.
Yeah, I know.
[PREACHER CHUCKLES]
Hmm.
- Thanks for the campout, Preach.
- You're welcome.
So, you wanna help me
get that fire started?
- [LAUGHS] Heck yeah.
- Yeah? Good.
You get the crackers, chocolate.
I'll get the marshmallows.
Lilly?
- What are you doing here?
- It's Hope.
She's on the phone.
She couldn't reach you.
Hello!
Hello?
Can you hear me?
Yeah, nice.
Nice and golden brown.
- Gonna put mine in there.
- I'll cross mine on.
There we go. Let's see. There we go.
- You took my fire.
- I took your flame.
- [BOTH] Oh.
- Oh, there we go. Look at that.
Burnt to the core. Now, that's a s'more.
- That one's perfect.
- That's good.
I want that. Can I get that?
[JACK] Hey.
[MEL] Hey.
I saw Preacher and Christopher's
campout, and I got inspired.
Here you go.
- Thanks.
- Mm-hmm.
How was the rest of your day?
A little unexpected.
Did something happen?
Did Charmaine tell you she was
planning on moving to Oregon?
[SIGHS HEAVILY]
Yeah.
Yeah, she told me that
she was thinking about it.
Why didn't you tell me?
You were in the hospital,
and the only thing I was
focused on at the time was you.
And after I was released?
I didn't wanna upset you
while you were recovering.
And after that?
After that, you told me that
Charmaine was gonna live
with Todd in Clear River,
so it just seemed like a non-issue.
Yeah, but let's just say she had moved.
I would've been completely blindsided.
But she didn't move, and
so, if I had told you,
then you would've been
upset for no reason.
Is that what you would've wanted?
Yes.
Oh.
I will always wanna know the truth,
whether you think it's
gonna upset me or not.
Jack, I'm really sorry.
No. It's okay. I mean
it was a bit of a shock. [SCOFFS]
Are we okay?
Yeah.
100%.
So are we gonna have a real campout?
[LAUGHS] What is a real campout?
Sleeping under the stars.
A-ha, see, I have a
no-sleeping-on-the-ground policy.
What, even on a night
as gorgeous as this?
I ask you, why would I sleep outside
when I can just enjoy the view
and then sleep in my own bed?
The faint sound of the
river lulling us to sleep.
[MEL] Hmm.
Our bodies keeping each other warm.
Oh, okay.
I I think I can do that.
- Maybe?
- Maybe.
[JACK] Mm.
[PHONE RINGING]
[SIGHS]
Sorry, I gotta
That's okay.
Hey, Mike, what's up?
[TENSE MUSIC PLAYING]
Got it.
- What is it?
- They got him.
Jimmy's in custody.
