Chesapeake Shores (2016) s03e04 Episode Script
Once Upon Ever After
1 NARRATOR: Previously on Chesapeake Shores - JESS: They're like any other family.
- They own a little of everything.
You're wrong about Danielle, and you have no idea how to apologize.
- Weddings are all about family.
- We would love to renew our vows here.
- NELL: Oh, bless you.
- I don't know how I feel.
- There's something - Not right.
- Yeah.
- David, you are the new CEO - of Peck Enterprises.
- Are you kidding me? - TRACE: And kick.
- Ta-da.
- Whoo! - I'm not ready to say goodbye yet.
Well, maybe we don't have to.
[.]
BREE: Jess, we've been going over this the entire day.
They only asked David to take over the business.
He didn't actually accept.
- Need a second opinion.
I'm calling Abby.
- Wait, no.
There's no reason to panic.
Really? Anyone ever say, "Don't panic," when there's no reason to or say it when they're trying to convince you there isn't? Yes.
Wait, no.
Just don't call her, okay? She's on tour with Trace.
We promised not to call unless an emergency.
Let's just be happy having my soul crushed isn't an emergency.
- I'm calling Abby.
- But she's on vacation.
[JESS GASPS.]
- No! - No.
[.]
[CROWD CHEERING IN DISTANCE.]
Hello? Hello? - Who's that? - It was Jess, but she hung up.
- I wonder if I should call her back? - If it's important, she'll call you back.
Yeah.
Yeah, you're probably right.
Abs, you need to relax.
Carrie and Caitlyn are with Wes your office said everything's fine, and you're on tour.
You're on tour, I'm just following you, which makes me your My bodyguard? - Your bodyguard? - And as my bodyguard your job is to stay very close to me.
ABBY: Oh, really? - Heh, heh.
- How's this? Not close enough.
Trace, we're on.
Hey, Abby, you having fun? - Yeah.
- MAN [OVER PA.]
: Hello, Dallas.
Opening tonight with a new album that just went gold here's Trace Riley and the Trace Riley Band.
Well, time to go to work.
- Don't be late for dinner.
- I'll see you in 20.
Heh, heh.
[LAUGHS.]
Looking good, Dallas.
Thanks for coming out.
One, two, three.
Looks like the landslide Is taking me down TRACE & LEIGH: Crushin' through my heart When you come around - Something to see, isn't it? - Uh Yeah, it's crazy.
Crazy thing is, after a while crazy seems normal.
[CROWD CHEERING.]
Then the storm comes up And you flyin' on back to him Girl, you know it was time You've gotta cross the line Just put your hand in mine 'Cause I'm the only one Who knows your heart And when you fall apart And how to hold you When you're sad and lonely Plane ticket already paid I'm gone But I don't mean nothing I'm close even though I'm far away That's how I remember you Stuck here on the red-eye special I can't wait to see you again So don't think of me I've been around Just listen for the sweet, sweet sound Of the taxi pulling up the driveway I'm coming home soon I'm coming home soon Doo-da, da-da-da Da-da-da-da Doo-da, da-da-da Da-da-da Doo-da, da-da-da [.]
You know, I never understood the concept of renewing vows.
- Why? I think it's sweet.
- Yeah, but unnecessary.
No offense.
- No offense taken.
- Offense taken.
- I suppose you're gonna tell us why.
- Please, don't be getting him started.
Too late.
Since marriages never expire, it's like going to the DMV, and taking a driving test when you already have your license.
- Seriously, Mick? - MICK: What? My son has just taken romance back into the Stone Ages.
I'm with your mother.
I think it's wonderful and romantic, and full of magic and lights and music.
Megan, no.
You promised you were gonna keep the ceremony simple.
Of course.
Why wouldn't I? Because we O'Briens always do everything over the top.
But anything worth doing is worth doing right.
And on that note, let's keep the vows short too, okay, Mom? Me? Why, I've always been a woman of few words.
[ALL LAUGHING.]
Okay, okay.
I'll try to keep it short too.
Okay.
Got room for one more? No, no, this is the big-people fire.
The kiddie fire's down the beach.
That was very funny.
MEGAN: So is Sarah coming? No, I just dropped her off at the station.
She has to work tonight.
I'm surprised Connor isn't here.
I should call.
I already did.
He said he has to work.
- Really? - MEGAN: Mm-hm.
I thought we had already finished the paperwork Yeah, no, he's probably working on that other draft.
Yeah.
Well, now here's a toast.
To Robin and Thomas for vows taken and worth taking again.
Here's to the O'Briens love of making toasts.
Here's to raising our spirits and the glasses that hold them.
Dad, did you just make a toast about making toasts? - Yes, I did.
I made it up.
- NELL: [LAUGHS.]
- That's a good one, sir.
- MEGAN: Cheers.
[.]
ALEXANDRA: I don't remember the last time I had a s'more.
Well, my family are the kings and queens of s'mores.
In fact, if you ask my grandma, I think she'd tell you we invented them.
It sounds nice, your family.
Yeah.
And when we fight, we fight hard but we're pretty good at making up.
Eventually.
- Like you and Jess? - Yeah, like I said, eventually.
Hey, I have a question.
You work for your family business too.
Why are your parents so set on David running the company and not you? You went to Harvard Business School.
It's a little more complicated than that.
Why? They've decided David's a better fit to run the business, no matter what I say or do.
It doesn't matter where I went to school or what I know.
When my parents make up their mind, they never change it.
But that I mean, doesn't David get to have a say? You don't know my parents.
Our family, we don't do eventually.
We're more about never.
[.]
Leiter and Norse agreed to the merger before I left.
We were just drawing up contracts.
I don't Yeah.
Okay, just send me the contracts and I will take care of it here.
Okay, thanks.
Abby, you gotta see this.
- Wow.
Congratulations.
- LEIGH: Thanks, Abby.
Nashville Country.
I used to read this when I was in pigtails.
- Oh.
I'd love to see that.
- [LAUGHS.]
- TRACE: Hey.
- LEIGH: Hey, how's our gear? Everything is stacked and stashed.
Every day, Trace checks the equipment after the roadies finish and every day he says the same thing.
I'm just used to doing it myself.
And I already looked.
No mention of you and the girls.
Ben wrote a good article, most of it is even true.
- Most of it? - My life, abridged.
Mostly the highlights - with a few bumps along the way.
- MARK: That's what people wanna know.
- You look good on that cover, Trace.
- Must be the lighting.
- Must be.
- TRACE: [LAUGHS.]
Congrats on the show last night, guys, and the article.
It's big.
And starting tonight, you're doing another 10 minutes.
Make sure you play something new.
[CHUCKLES.]
No pressure.
- MARK: It's only the beginning, Trace.
- That settles it.
- We're playing "Bucky's Highway.
" - JOHN: I vote "Wild and Free.
" LEIGH: What about "Bargains and Boots"? - We haven't played that.
- You okay? You don't look happy.
No.
I mean, it's amazing.
But if we're getting 10 more minutes, someone else is doing less.
- Donovan? - Looks like we just took part of his set.
[.]
Working from home? Yeah, I'm planning my next trip to Chicago on business.
Seems the more time I spend at home - the more I have to travel someplace else.
- Mm-hm.
You know when it was that Robin and Thomas first met? County fair.
You and Thomas spent at least $50 in quarters trying to see who could win the largest stuffed animal.
That basketball rim was not regulation size, let me tell you.
I know, Mick, and you should have won.
So you think maybe a consolation prize of a cinnamon roll might help? What? Why do you always think that when someone gives you a gift - they want something in return? - It's true.
Well, then I'm happy to keep your streak alive.
What do you think? Didn't Robin tell you she wanted to keep the ceremony simple? Oh, yeah, that's what she said but that's not what she meant.
Mick O'Brien, when a woman gets married Renews her vows.
And she tells you not to go to any trouble, she's saying to go to all the trouble.
[.]
Mick, you remember when they got married? I was on bedrest with Bree so I couldn't be maid of honor, I couldn't help, I couldn't even attend.
So this time I just wanna do everything I can to help make it go right.
[MICK SIGHS.]
You know, this is very good.
- Thanks.
- I was talking about the cinnamon roll.
Of course you were.
It's gonna take me a few days to make this.
- I know.
- And you know I actually work? - Oh, trust me, I know.
- And these lights are gonna take forever.
Oh, don't worry about the lights, I got them covered.
[.]
I object.
Overruled.
Well Kevin, Connor your job is to hang all these lights for the ceremony.
Understood? I think that she's grounding us.
- She's not allowed to do that, is she? - I don't know.
I'm too afraid to ask.
So we'll just do this without talking? [.]
[SIGHS.]
- DAVID: What ? - Oops.
Hello? - Down here.
- What are you doing? - I wanted to talk to you privately.
- Why didn't you knock on my door? I didn't wanna disturb you while you were working.
So you're Okay, well, now I'm not working, so Okay, I need to ask you something, you don't have to answer right away but by not answering, you're actually answering, so you should answer.
- So you should probably just ask.
- Okay.
I just need to tell you that if you want to stay here because you're really good at your job, I will be okay.
But if you wanna come back with me - that'll be fine too.
- Just fine? Fine as in amazing.
But it's your choice.
Jess, ever since I became your chef I only wanna be with you.
Really? Great.
Well, now that we have that settled, I'll see you tonight? See you tonight.
- Dude, if Romeo and Juliet - What about them? That's what this reminds me of, Romeo and Juliet.
You're Juliet.
[.]
Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou, Romeo.
I'm right here.
Oh, this is so awesome.
- Bye.
- [CHUCKLES.]
Bye.
I thought we were going to eat.
Don't worry, last time I was out in 20 minutes.
Shake some hands, give a few sound bites then we'll go to dinner, okay? Well, as your bodyguard, your fans look excited to see you.
You got my back, right? Always.
I can't wait for you to see the surprise I planned.
A surprise? You're gonna love it.
[CROWD SHOUTING INDISTINCTLY.]
TRACE: Hey.
No problem.
- Thanks.
- WOMAN: We love you so much.
[.]
I got you something.
I hate the fact that you think bribery's gonna work on me.
Because it does.
I hate that you know that too.
What do we got? - Mm.
Consider me bribed.
- [LAUGHS.]
And voilÃÂ .
Oh, perfect.
Another picture, another arch.
MEGAN: Mm-hm.
I just want it to be perfect.
You know, I don't think weddings need to be perfect.
I mean, not that there's anything bad about it but it's just a day, and all the All the speeches, the cake, the dancing seems like a big deal at the time - but they're not.
- Hmm.
You enjoyed ours.
Yeah, I just remember borrowing money for a wedding ring borrowing money for your wedding dress, borrowing for a first place to live.
And we laughed that we had to find something borrowed for the wedding.
[LAUGHS.]
Nell's gloves.
Yeah.
[.]
Another one.
TRACE: Make it two.
Must be my lucky day.
It's Trace Riley from the Trace Riley Band.
Listen, Donovan - I want you to know - You didn't have anything to do with it? Yeah, I know.
My guys overheard you talking to Mark, asking him not to give you the extra time.
I still don't feel right about it.
I appreciate that, Trace, but it ain't your doing.
Mark he's a smart man.
Knows when he's got a hot hand.
This is your time.
What are you talking about? You know a funny thing about time? - You never think it's gonna run out.
- What do you mean by that? I used to look at my girl the way you look at yours.
Felt like nothing could ever tear us apart.
You ever think about trying to get her back? That ship sailed a long time ago.
What about your daughter? She hasn't spoken to me in two years.
- Maybe it's time to fix that.
- Sometimes you travel too far down the road to just swing it around and head back.
I think you can always go back.
- Make it right.
- That's because you still think you got time on your side.
One day you wake up and realize you didn't lose it, you just misplaced it.
[.]
So David is going to leave his job and come home with me.
Well, not to my home, but to the inn.
Not to live, but to work.
Has he told his parents yet? He said no.
I'm thinking maybe.
That would explain the quiche.
That quiche was such a warning shot across the bow.
Exactly.
It's a complicated mixture of David's parents eggs, personal feelings, salt - family obligations.
- Cooking temperatures, I got it.
You gotta stop.
Let that quiche go.
That quiche is David's parents.
It's not David's quiche.
We like his.
Okay, true.
- But I can't turn off my brain.
- I know.
Neither can I, but David wants to be with you you wanna be with David.
Life or quiche don't have to be more complicated than that.
- I know, but it always is, isn't it? - Well - We're still amazing though, right? - Oh, amazing.
Okay, I'm done here.
- What? - I'm having a G and T.
Hi.
[CHUCKLES.]
BREE: Oh, stop, stop, stop.
You're sure we have enough extension cords? Because I could go out, get a couple more.
You know, this will go faster if we talked.
You don't seem to have a problem talking, whether anyone wants to listen.
So, what is that? It's like a dig? What are you, 12? You know, Connor, I'm so sick and tired of this.
I'm so sick and tired of you just If this happened to me, even if you were wrong, I'd wanna know.
You weren't.
- What? - You weren't wrong, all right? The guy you saw with Danielle was her ex-boyfriend.
[.]
I guess that makes you a little bit happy.
Get to be the hero one more time.
Kevin saves the day again.
You have no idea what you're talking about.
After not seeing each other I can only imagine what you and David have been talking about.
Well, I'm not exactly sure either, some of it was in iambic pentameter.
[CHUCKLES.]
Well, Jessica, I know my son really likes you.
Really? That's great, because I really like him.
And I know that, to you, the idea of David running a multi-million dollar corporation which employs hundreds of people isn't as important as perhaps baking quiches.
- We did talk about that.
- Which is why I'm asking you a favor.
A favor? Absolutely.
Good.
Because you like David, David seems to like you - why don't you stay here with us? - Here? Until you and David settle down, and buy a home.
I run a B and Auberge in Chesapeake Shores.
I know you do, for now.
I'm sure you can run one here in Maine, or in Paris, or Boston or any place you'd like, really.
- Jessica, think of what's best for David.
- But And it won't be so bad.
Besides, attending the odd glamorous party every now and then.
And depending on what you decide tonight's party could either be a going-away affair for David or a celebration of David taking over Peck Enterprises.
And welcoming you to the family, of course.
[.]
And it's up to me to make that decision? In the meantime please accept this small gift for being so kind and gracious to our son.
Jessica, you know what happened to the girl who became a princess when she found her prince? She lived happily ever after? [CHUCKLES.]
Thank you.
What? Trace, I've called the girls, but I still have work calls to make.
If this merger falls through, it's gonna be terrible Abby, you've been on the phone all day, I'm sure your deal can wait until morning.
And besides, I'm trying to be romantic here.
- What? By kidnapping me? - If that's what it takes.
[ABBY CHUCKLES.]
You have any idea where we are? [SIGHS.]
Well, it's been quiet since we left the hotel, so I'm hoping we're finally alone.
Well, you're right about that.
How about I give you a clue? We are surrounded by flowers.
[SNIFFING.]
I do not smell flowers.
[BOTH CHUCKLE.]
[.]
Trace, this is the Alkin Gallery.
How are we here after hours? I had our stage manager make a call let them know we have a very passionate fan of impressionist art.
Seriously? It also helped that he's married to the curator's sister.
[BOTH CHUCKLE.]
What do you think? You have managed to combine - my three favorite things.
- Uh Me, impressionist art and - Cheese.
- Cheese, of course.
[BOTH CHUCKLE.]
[ABBY SIGHS.]
Trace, are you gonna be happy without all of this back home? We have cheese back home.
[TRACE CHUCKLES.]
No, without the thousands of fans screaming your name and the VIP treatment.
Abby none of that means anything if I don't have you.
- You've been practicing that line? - Yeah, a bit.
[BOTH LAUGH.]
We do have permission to be in here, right? We didn't just break in? We might have.
If you hear something, grab a Monet, and we'll make a run for it.
[LAUGHS.]
- Cheers.
- Cheers.
It might be the most beautiful thing I've ever seen.
It's so beautiful that other beautiful things realize their beauty doesn't compare making other beautiful things feel bad for thinking they were ever beautiful.
- It's vindictively beautiful.
- Spitefully beautiful.
It's just cruel.
[BREE SIGHS.]
You know, I always thought life should be like this.
- Being in the Peck summer home? - No.
Lying around with my sisters on a warm day doing nothing at all.
And staring at criminally beautiful dresses.
- Swaying in the breeze.
- You write about things like this.
I know, mostly because I can't actually bring myself to do nothing.
- But you're doing it now.
- I know.
So David's mother asked you to stay? So David will run the family's corporation and I will run an auberge in France.
- You'll have to learn to speak French.
- Oui.
- You'll be leaving Chesapeake Shores.
- Oui.
And we will be wearing these beautiful dresses.
- "We," right? - Hmm.
Oui.
[BOTH SIGH.]
Is that what you want? Well, I think I'm in love.
And I wanna do what's best for him.
And me coming here would mean that he wouldn't have to leave and I could still run an auberge.
But I've never left Chesapeake Shores before.
[.]
I'll visit often.
I know you will.
[BOTH BREATHE DEEPLY.]
[BOTH CHUCKLE.]
MEGAN: Oh, these are gorgeous.
- I told you to keep it small.
- And I ignored you.
- Ugh.
[CHUCKLES.]
- So you nervous? - Hardly.
I'm already married.
Oh, I do love Thomas.
I have people come into my practice, and they've been married 50 years and things changed from where they start.
The marriage changes.
But they've just managed to find a way to get closer.
- A different way, you know? - Hm.
- Those are pretty.
- You know they say that sometimes it takes a lifetime to learn how to dance together.
I'm just hoping that the way we are now will be different than all the other times that just did not work before.
- A second chance.
Yep.
- New beginnings.
With way, way too many flowers.
Trust me, you're gonna love it.
They're gorgeous.
That's all I'm asking, Mort.
Just consider the deal.
Okay.
- I was right, wasn't I? - You were.
They're back to being friends, the merger's back on.
For now.
Which means you can resume your bodyguard duties.
I gotta tell you, a woman's been following me around all week.
- Oh, really? - She's relentless.
She even followed me into a closed museum last night.
Wow, that sounds serious.
[BOTH LAUGH.]
I'm sorry, are you Trace Riley? Can I take a picture? - Sure.
What's your name? - Diane.
- Nice to meet you, Diane.
- You too, Abby.
Join us for a photo? - I'm sorry, do I know you? - Well, no.
Diane, how ? How do you know Abby? [SOFTLY.]
Oh.
DIANE: You have a beautiful family.
[.]
THOMAS: Typical of your dad, he makes the decision to do something and then has other people actually do the work.
Dad has this way of convincing people when they're doing something for him they're really doing it for themselves.
Man, he was a tough act to follow.
I had this one teacher, Mr.
Healy.
Never did learn my name, spent the whole year calling me "Mick Two.
" - Well, it must've been tough.
- Following a big brother who everyone knew was gonna be a success, including him? Yeah.
You know, my life hasn't exactly been easy either.
It's hard to see that until you're out of the shadow.
And that takes time.
Thing is, I wouldn't be doing what I'm doing if Mick wasn't so good at what he does.
[CHUCKLES.]
Okay, so you battling Dad over the trust is really Dad's fault? In a way.
Hey, truth is we're all just trying to find a way to be special.
[.]
Here.
- I could've done this myself, you know.
- MICK: I know.
You know, I threatened our mayor once.
We were back at school.
He really hated Thomas.
- Is this story going anywhere? - Eventually.
[MICK CHUCKLES.]
- I assume Thomas didn't vote for him? - Probably not.
It was an after-school basketball game.
Thomas always tried to avoid fights, and Frank went after him.
- So I got involved.
- What'd you do? I got in his face and I told him if he messed with my brother, he'd have to mess with me.
So you threatened him? That's great.
You could call it that, or I was sticking up for my brother.
And then Thomas wouldn't speak to me for a month.
Well, in our family a month is nothing.
It has taken us 40 years to figure out why we weren't speaking.
[.]
- I can't wait for tomorrow night.
- Neither can I.
Jess O'Brien, would you dance with me? [PLAYING CLASSICAL MUSIC.]
David Peck, I would love to dance with you.
[CHUCKLES.]
This is a big step.
You said being with me was an adventure, so why not just take one? But I'd I'd never ask you to move for me.
That's why I want to.
Are you nervous? Um Running the company temporarily is a lot different than permanently.
Or running away.
- Together.
- [CHUCKLES.]
Abby, it's an obscure website, and it'll pass.
That's not the point, this is my family.
I know, and I know you didn't sign up for any of this but they get this first shot, and then they move on.
And it's not a story.
You don't know that, and it might get worse.
ANNOUNCER: Give it up for one of the hottest bands.
Celebrating their new record, it's Trace Riley Abby, it's gonna be fine.
Let's just talk about this later.
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE.]
[LOUDER CHEERS AND APPLAUSE.]
How are you doing tonight, Dallas? [.]
THOMAS: Mick, maybe you're not completely clear on how bachelor parties work but normally, the groom doesn't have to work for three hours to get a beer.
MICK: What's the matter, you don't like it? No, it's fine.
I just don't think you understand the concept of a party.
Oh, I understand the concept of a party.
I'm the guy who used to close the joint, remember? I'm just a little greedy to get this baby out on the high seas as soon as possible.
So now I have to ask.
Am I the only one who knows about this boat? Yeah.
Any reason why? I have no idea.
I didn't intend to tell you.
[CHUCKLES.]
You know what I find amazing? You've made a mess of so many things, yet you managed to raise five great kids.
Yeah, thank you, and I find it amazing that even though the O'Briens have never been very good at marriage you're still working on yours after 30 years.
An O'Brien happily married, that would be interesting.
It'd be a miracle.
Heh.
- Kind of like this boat not sinking.
- Exactly.
- No, you don't have to pay me for the beer.
- Oh, no.
MICK: Queen Victoria? 1888? This is the coin that Dad put under the mast when he stepped it.
[.]
When he got rid of the boat and they pulled the mast out, I kept the coin.
It was the only time we all got along.
The only time I ever saw him relaxed.
It's the only time I ever saw him smiling.
And now you've got a coin looking for another boat.
Wow, this is Thank you, Thomas.
Thank you.
You gonna need a crew.
Well, then, to the ship, to the crew - and the Blue Lady of the Skies.
- And the Blue Lady of the Skies.
MICK: No idea what Dad meant by that.
- Not a clue.
- I don't think he even knew.
- I don't think he knew either.
Yeah.
I I know, girls.
I understand, sweetie.
Well, I am going to see you very soon.
I love you too.
I love you both so much.
Okay.
[BEEP.]
[SIGHS.]
- Hi.
- Hi.
- What's this? - I've been going back and forth but I had to show you this.
What is this? Mortgage? School reports? I found it in my dad's office.
This is Jess' entire life.
Like I said, when it comes to my parents, nothing happens by accident.
Thank you.
[.]
Good book? Yeah, but I've read better.
It's pretty slow.
Do you remember your plastic army soldiers? What? That giant box of green soldiers? And they all melted? - That might've been me.
- Mm.
- So you were the one.
- Yeah.
Yeah.
I borrowed Dad's video camera with my friends.
We sort of shot a war movie.
Might have lit them on fire.
[KEVIN CHUCKLES.]
All right, and you're telling me this now, why? When you told me about Danielle Look, I can take care of myself but you were just trying to help and I [.]
I'm sorry.
Anyway, I thought maybe I could make it up to you.
You know, brothers in arms band of brothers.
It's a medic.
A little Kevin.
This might be one of the weirder things you've done.
- Although this guy does look like me.
- [LAUGHS.]
Yeah, that's what I thought.
- Thanks.
- Yeah.
That's me on the stretcher.
[BOTH LAUGH.]
ABBY: Can't believe we're saying goodbye.
I know it's just for a few weeks this time, but TRACE: But it's supposed to get easier, not harder.
Yeah.
So we'll talk tonight? I will call you when I get in.
Thanks for being my bodyguard.
Well, someone's gotta have your back.
Listen, Abby.
- I'm so sorry.
- I know.
I love you.
I love you too.
Come on.
- Bye.
- Bye.
[CAMERA CLICKS.]
[SIGHS.]
Jess, this is crazy.
I'm so sorry.
- JESS: I'm not.
- You're not sorry? I'm too upset to be sorry.
And to think I thought Deidra liked me.
I thought she truly wanted the best for me.
The best for David.
- Jess, you look really good in that dress.
- Really? - I'm not gonna take it! - Okay, what are you gonna do? I don't know.
Everything.
Nothing, I don't know.
I'm just very, very, very angry.
Do you want me to come with you? No, I want you to stay here and stick to the plan.
Got it.
You're not going to do anything too crazy, right? Have I ever done anything crazy in my lifetime? - Frequently.
- Then yes, I am.
[ABBY GRUNTS.]
[HUFFS.]
Mr.
and Mrs.
Peck.
- You look lovely, Jessica.
- Thank you, I know.
You look lovely too.
Oh, thank you.
Which is why this hurts so much.
You had no right to spy on me.
This is just not cool, and mean, and rotten and wrong.
Jessica, there is a complete explanation for all of this.
Really? Oh, good.
[.]
I mean, no.
This is just wrong.
We wanted to make sure that David was with someone of whom we approve.
Still wrong.
You can't spy on me.
I don't see the problem, Jessica.
And that's the problem.
You say that you want me here, you tell David that you want me here and all the while, it's to see if I'm good enough? Yeah, I might just run a B&B and I really don't know what an auberge is, and I don't speak French and I don't play polo and when you said "Gstaad" earlier, I didn't know it started with a "G.
" Which is silly anyway.
But I am proud of who I am, and where I come from, and who my family is and while they're all nuts, and we have our problems, trust me, a ton of them they love me, and I love them, and I don't need you to say I'm good enough because no one is gonna put Jess in a corner.
So before I move into this fishbowl I'm leaving, and that's I, Jess.
Not I, Jessica.
So you can have your party, and your life, and your son even though I love him a whole lot but you can't have me.
And I'm keeping this dress.
[.]
[JESS PANTING.]
- You're wearing your dress too? - You bet I am, I'm never taking it off.
Operation Pumpkin, engaged.
- You look really amazing by the way.
- Really? Thank you so much.
[GRUNTS.]
- JESS: You tell David we're leaving? - Haven't seen him.
- JESS: What? But that was part of the plan.
- No time.
JESS: Oh, no.
[.]
NELL: Love is a spark that creates a fire and to make it last, you have to tend to it.
You have to nurture it.
And you have to give it room to grow.
It's about changing with each other, and it's about finding the balance.
Not only who you are, but who you are together.
You enter marriage with your eyes wide open but you walk through it with one eye shut.
Because great marriages, they don't worry about the small things.
No, great marriages, they focus on the bigger picture and they focus on love.
Kiss her now? You may kiss each other.
Kiss your wife, and kiss your husband.
[BREE WHOOPING.]
MICK: Well done.
Congratulations, Thomas.
- NELL: Oh, Thomas.
- MEGAN: Congratulations.
KEVIN: Guys, congratulations.
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE.]
You've been amazing, San Antonio.
We've got time for one more.
It's called "More Where That Came From.
" One, two, three.
They love to tell us That we'll never make it They're throwing stones Against the glass just to break it But they don't live here They don't know this kind of love MEGAN: Thank you for building that arch.
Twice.
Oh, you were right.
I'm glad we didn't keep it simple.
- "If it's worth doing, it's worth doing right.
" - Nicely done.
- Ah.
Years of practice.
- [CHUCKLES.]
At our wedding, did the minister say that thing about walking into a marriage with both eyes open and walking through it with one eye closed? Honestly I can't remember.
[.]
NARRATOR: Next time on Chesapeake Shores: Simon, what are you doing here? - I volunteered to simplify your life.
- My parents still go out on dates too.
ABBY: Okay, there are pictures of my daughters online.
- Trace, it scares me.
- I want to spend time with you.
- And I'm not interested.
- I can't believe David and I are over.
- I'll be there.
- What is it? Sarah was hurt at work.
She's on her way to the hospital.
- They own a little of everything.
You're wrong about Danielle, and you have no idea how to apologize.
- Weddings are all about family.
- We would love to renew our vows here.
- NELL: Oh, bless you.
- I don't know how I feel.
- There's something - Not right.
- Yeah.
- David, you are the new CEO - of Peck Enterprises.
- Are you kidding me? - TRACE: And kick.
- Ta-da.
- Whoo! - I'm not ready to say goodbye yet.
Well, maybe we don't have to.
[.]
BREE: Jess, we've been going over this the entire day.
They only asked David to take over the business.
He didn't actually accept.
- Need a second opinion.
I'm calling Abby.
- Wait, no.
There's no reason to panic.
Really? Anyone ever say, "Don't panic," when there's no reason to or say it when they're trying to convince you there isn't? Yes.
Wait, no.
Just don't call her, okay? She's on tour with Trace.
We promised not to call unless an emergency.
Let's just be happy having my soul crushed isn't an emergency.
- I'm calling Abby.
- But she's on vacation.
[JESS GASPS.]
- No! - No.
[.]
[CROWD CHEERING IN DISTANCE.]
Hello? Hello? - Who's that? - It was Jess, but she hung up.
- I wonder if I should call her back? - If it's important, she'll call you back.
Yeah.
Yeah, you're probably right.
Abs, you need to relax.
Carrie and Caitlyn are with Wes your office said everything's fine, and you're on tour.
You're on tour, I'm just following you, which makes me your My bodyguard? - Your bodyguard? - And as my bodyguard your job is to stay very close to me.
ABBY: Oh, really? - Heh, heh.
- How's this? Not close enough.
Trace, we're on.
Hey, Abby, you having fun? - Yeah.
- MAN [OVER PA.]
: Hello, Dallas.
Opening tonight with a new album that just went gold here's Trace Riley and the Trace Riley Band.
Well, time to go to work.
- Don't be late for dinner.
- I'll see you in 20.
Heh, heh.
[LAUGHS.]
Looking good, Dallas.
Thanks for coming out.
One, two, three.
Looks like the landslide Is taking me down TRACE & LEIGH: Crushin' through my heart When you come around - Something to see, isn't it? - Uh Yeah, it's crazy.
Crazy thing is, after a while crazy seems normal.
[CROWD CHEERING.]
Then the storm comes up And you flyin' on back to him Girl, you know it was time You've gotta cross the line Just put your hand in mine 'Cause I'm the only one Who knows your heart And when you fall apart And how to hold you When you're sad and lonely Plane ticket already paid I'm gone But I don't mean nothing I'm close even though I'm far away That's how I remember you Stuck here on the red-eye special I can't wait to see you again So don't think of me I've been around Just listen for the sweet, sweet sound Of the taxi pulling up the driveway I'm coming home soon I'm coming home soon Doo-da, da-da-da Da-da-da-da Doo-da, da-da-da Da-da-da Doo-da, da-da-da [.]
You know, I never understood the concept of renewing vows.
- Why? I think it's sweet.
- Yeah, but unnecessary.
No offense.
- No offense taken.
- Offense taken.
- I suppose you're gonna tell us why.
- Please, don't be getting him started.
Too late.
Since marriages never expire, it's like going to the DMV, and taking a driving test when you already have your license.
- Seriously, Mick? - MICK: What? My son has just taken romance back into the Stone Ages.
I'm with your mother.
I think it's wonderful and romantic, and full of magic and lights and music.
Megan, no.
You promised you were gonna keep the ceremony simple.
Of course.
Why wouldn't I? Because we O'Briens always do everything over the top.
But anything worth doing is worth doing right.
And on that note, let's keep the vows short too, okay, Mom? Me? Why, I've always been a woman of few words.
[ALL LAUGHING.]
Okay, okay.
I'll try to keep it short too.
Okay.
Got room for one more? No, no, this is the big-people fire.
The kiddie fire's down the beach.
That was very funny.
MEGAN: So is Sarah coming? No, I just dropped her off at the station.
She has to work tonight.
I'm surprised Connor isn't here.
I should call.
I already did.
He said he has to work.
- Really? - MEGAN: Mm-hm.
I thought we had already finished the paperwork Yeah, no, he's probably working on that other draft.
Yeah.
Well, now here's a toast.
To Robin and Thomas for vows taken and worth taking again.
Here's to the O'Briens love of making toasts.
Here's to raising our spirits and the glasses that hold them.
Dad, did you just make a toast about making toasts? - Yes, I did.
I made it up.
- NELL: [LAUGHS.]
- That's a good one, sir.
- MEGAN: Cheers.
[.]
ALEXANDRA: I don't remember the last time I had a s'more.
Well, my family are the kings and queens of s'mores.
In fact, if you ask my grandma, I think she'd tell you we invented them.
It sounds nice, your family.
Yeah.
And when we fight, we fight hard but we're pretty good at making up.
Eventually.
- Like you and Jess? - Yeah, like I said, eventually.
Hey, I have a question.
You work for your family business too.
Why are your parents so set on David running the company and not you? You went to Harvard Business School.
It's a little more complicated than that.
Why? They've decided David's a better fit to run the business, no matter what I say or do.
It doesn't matter where I went to school or what I know.
When my parents make up their mind, they never change it.
But that I mean, doesn't David get to have a say? You don't know my parents.
Our family, we don't do eventually.
We're more about never.
[.]
Leiter and Norse agreed to the merger before I left.
We were just drawing up contracts.
I don't Yeah.
Okay, just send me the contracts and I will take care of it here.
Okay, thanks.
Abby, you gotta see this.
- Wow.
Congratulations.
- LEIGH: Thanks, Abby.
Nashville Country.
I used to read this when I was in pigtails.
- Oh.
I'd love to see that.
- [LAUGHS.]
- TRACE: Hey.
- LEIGH: Hey, how's our gear? Everything is stacked and stashed.
Every day, Trace checks the equipment after the roadies finish and every day he says the same thing.
I'm just used to doing it myself.
And I already looked.
No mention of you and the girls.
Ben wrote a good article, most of it is even true.
- Most of it? - My life, abridged.
Mostly the highlights - with a few bumps along the way.
- MARK: That's what people wanna know.
- You look good on that cover, Trace.
- Must be the lighting.
- Must be.
- TRACE: [LAUGHS.]
Congrats on the show last night, guys, and the article.
It's big.
And starting tonight, you're doing another 10 minutes.
Make sure you play something new.
[CHUCKLES.]
No pressure.
- MARK: It's only the beginning, Trace.
- That settles it.
- We're playing "Bucky's Highway.
" - JOHN: I vote "Wild and Free.
" LEIGH: What about "Bargains and Boots"? - We haven't played that.
- You okay? You don't look happy.
No.
I mean, it's amazing.
But if we're getting 10 more minutes, someone else is doing less.
- Donovan? - Looks like we just took part of his set.
[.]
Working from home? Yeah, I'm planning my next trip to Chicago on business.
Seems the more time I spend at home - the more I have to travel someplace else.
- Mm-hm.
You know when it was that Robin and Thomas first met? County fair.
You and Thomas spent at least $50 in quarters trying to see who could win the largest stuffed animal.
That basketball rim was not regulation size, let me tell you.
I know, Mick, and you should have won.
So you think maybe a consolation prize of a cinnamon roll might help? What? Why do you always think that when someone gives you a gift - they want something in return? - It's true.
Well, then I'm happy to keep your streak alive.
What do you think? Didn't Robin tell you she wanted to keep the ceremony simple? Oh, yeah, that's what she said but that's not what she meant.
Mick O'Brien, when a woman gets married Renews her vows.
And she tells you not to go to any trouble, she's saying to go to all the trouble.
[.]
Mick, you remember when they got married? I was on bedrest with Bree so I couldn't be maid of honor, I couldn't help, I couldn't even attend.
So this time I just wanna do everything I can to help make it go right.
[MICK SIGHS.]
You know, this is very good.
- Thanks.
- I was talking about the cinnamon roll.
Of course you were.
It's gonna take me a few days to make this.
- I know.
- And you know I actually work? - Oh, trust me, I know.
- And these lights are gonna take forever.
Oh, don't worry about the lights, I got them covered.
[.]
I object.
Overruled.
Well Kevin, Connor your job is to hang all these lights for the ceremony.
Understood? I think that she's grounding us.
- She's not allowed to do that, is she? - I don't know.
I'm too afraid to ask.
So we'll just do this without talking? [.]
[SIGHS.]
- DAVID: What ? - Oops.
Hello? - Down here.
- What are you doing? - I wanted to talk to you privately.
- Why didn't you knock on my door? I didn't wanna disturb you while you were working.
So you're Okay, well, now I'm not working, so Okay, I need to ask you something, you don't have to answer right away but by not answering, you're actually answering, so you should answer.
- So you should probably just ask.
- Okay.
I just need to tell you that if you want to stay here because you're really good at your job, I will be okay.
But if you wanna come back with me - that'll be fine too.
- Just fine? Fine as in amazing.
But it's your choice.
Jess, ever since I became your chef I only wanna be with you.
Really? Great.
Well, now that we have that settled, I'll see you tonight? See you tonight.
- Dude, if Romeo and Juliet - What about them? That's what this reminds me of, Romeo and Juliet.
You're Juliet.
[.]
Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou, Romeo.
I'm right here.
Oh, this is so awesome.
- Bye.
- [CHUCKLES.]
Bye.
I thought we were going to eat.
Don't worry, last time I was out in 20 minutes.
Shake some hands, give a few sound bites then we'll go to dinner, okay? Well, as your bodyguard, your fans look excited to see you.
You got my back, right? Always.
I can't wait for you to see the surprise I planned.
A surprise? You're gonna love it.
[CROWD SHOUTING INDISTINCTLY.]
TRACE: Hey.
No problem.
- Thanks.
- WOMAN: We love you so much.
[.]
I got you something.
I hate the fact that you think bribery's gonna work on me.
Because it does.
I hate that you know that too.
What do we got? - Mm.
Consider me bribed.
- [LAUGHS.]
And voilÃÂ .
Oh, perfect.
Another picture, another arch.
MEGAN: Mm-hm.
I just want it to be perfect.
You know, I don't think weddings need to be perfect.
I mean, not that there's anything bad about it but it's just a day, and all the All the speeches, the cake, the dancing seems like a big deal at the time - but they're not.
- Hmm.
You enjoyed ours.
Yeah, I just remember borrowing money for a wedding ring borrowing money for your wedding dress, borrowing for a first place to live.
And we laughed that we had to find something borrowed for the wedding.
[LAUGHS.]
Nell's gloves.
Yeah.
[.]
Another one.
TRACE: Make it two.
Must be my lucky day.
It's Trace Riley from the Trace Riley Band.
Listen, Donovan - I want you to know - You didn't have anything to do with it? Yeah, I know.
My guys overheard you talking to Mark, asking him not to give you the extra time.
I still don't feel right about it.
I appreciate that, Trace, but it ain't your doing.
Mark he's a smart man.
Knows when he's got a hot hand.
This is your time.
What are you talking about? You know a funny thing about time? - You never think it's gonna run out.
- What do you mean by that? I used to look at my girl the way you look at yours.
Felt like nothing could ever tear us apart.
You ever think about trying to get her back? That ship sailed a long time ago.
What about your daughter? She hasn't spoken to me in two years.
- Maybe it's time to fix that.
- Sometimes you travel too far down the road to just swing it around and head back.
I think you can always go back.
- Make it right.
- That's because you still think you got time on your side.
One day you wake up and realize you didn't lose it, you just misplaced it.
[.]
So David is going to leave his job and come home with me.
Well, not to my home, but to the inn.
Not to live, but to work.
Has he told his parents yet? He said no.
I'm thinking maybe.
That would explain the quiche.
That quiche was such a warning shot across the bow.
Exactly.
It's a complicated mixture of David's parents eggs, personal feelings, salt - family obligations.
- Cooking temperatures, I got it.
You gotta stop.
Let that quiche go.
That quiche is David's parents.
It's not David's quiche.
We like his.
Okay, true.
- But I can't turn off my brain.
- I know.
Neither can I, but David wants to be with you you wanna be with David.
Life or quiche don't have to be more complicated than that.
- I know, but it always is, isn't it? - Well - We're still amazing though, right? - Oh, amazing.
Okay, I'm done here.
- What? - I'm having a G and T.
Hi.
[CHUCKLES.]
BREE: Oh, stop, stop, stop.
You're sure we have enough extension cords? Because I could go out, get a couple more.
You know, this will go faster if we talked.
You don't seem to have a problem talking, whether anyone wants to listen.
So, what is that? It's like a dig? What are you, 12? You know, Connor, I'm so sick and tired of this.
I'm so sick and tired of you just If this happened to me, even if you were wrong, I'd wanna know.
You weren't.
- What? - You weren't wrong, all right? The guy you saw with Danielle was her ex-boyfriend.
[.]
I guess that makes you a little bit happy.
Get to be the hero one more time.
Kevin saves the day again.
You have no idea what you're talking about.
After not seeing each other I can only imagine what you and David have been talking about.
Well, I'm not exactly sure either, some of it was in iambic pentameter.
[CHUCKLES.]
Well, Jessica, I know my son really likes you.
Really? That's great, because I really like him.
And I know that, to you, the idea of David running a multi-million dollar corporation which employs hundreds of people isn't as important as perhaps baking quiches.
- We did talk about that.
- Which is why I'm asking you a favor.
A favor? Absolutely.
Good.
Because you like David, David seems to like you - why don't you stay here with us? - Here? Until you and David settle down, and buy a home.
I run a B and Auberge in Chesapeake Shores.
I know you do, for now.
I'm sure you can run one here in Maine, or in Paris, or Boston or any place you'd like, really.
- Jessica, think of what's best for David.
- But And it won't be so bad.
Besides, attending the odd glamorous party every now and then.
And depending on what you decide tonight's party could either be a going-away affair for David or a celebration of David taking over Peck Enterprises.
And welcoming you to the family, of course.
[.]
And it's up to me to make that decision? In the meantime please accept this small gift for being so kind and gracious to our son.
Jessica, you know what happened to the girl who became a princess when she found her prince? She lived happily ever after? [CHUCKLES.]
Thank you.
What? Trace, I've called the girls, but I still have work calls to make.
If this merger falls through, it's gonna be terrible Abby, you've been on the phone all day, I'm sure your deal can wait until morning.
And besides, I'm trying to be romantic here.
- What? By kidnapping me? - If that's what it takes.
[ABBY CHUCKLES.]
You have any idea where we are? [SIGHS.]
Well, it's been quiet since we left the hotel, so I'm hoping we're finally alone.
Well, you're right about that.
How about I give you a clue? We are surrounded by flowers.
[SNIFFING.]
I do not smell flowers.
[BOTH CHUCKLE.]
[.]
Trace, this is the Alkin Gallery.
How are we here after hours? I had our stage manager make a call let them know we have a very passionate fan of impressionist art.
Seriously? It also helped that he's married to the curator's sister.
[BOTH CHUCKLE.]
What do you think? You have managed to combine - my three favorite things.
- Uh Me, impressionist art and - Cheese.
- Cheese, of course.
[BOTH CHUCKLE.]
[ABBY SIGHS.]
Trace, are you gonna be happy without all of this back home? We have cheese back home.
[TRACE CHUCKLES.]
No, without the thousands of fans screaming your name and the VIP treatment.
Abby none of that means anything if I don't have you.
- You've been practicing that line? - Yeah, a bit.
[BOTH LAUGH.]
We do have permission to be in here, right? We didn't just break in? We might have.
If you hear something, grab a Monet, and we'll make a run for it.
[LAUGHS.]
- Cheers.
- Cheers.
It might be the most beautiful thing I've ever seen.
It's so beautiful that other beautiful things realize their beauty doesn't compare making other beautiful things feel bad for thinking they were ever beautiful.
- It's vindictively beautiful.
- Spitefully beautiful.
It's just cruel.
[BREE SIGHS.]
You know, I always thought life should be like this.
- Being in the Peck summer home? - No.
Lying around with my sisters on a warm day doing nothing at all.
And staring at criminally beautiful dresses.
- Swaying in the breeze.
- You write about things like this.
I know, mostly because I can't actually bring myself to do nothing.
- But you're doing it now.
- I know.
So David's mother asked you to stay? So David will run the family's corporation and I will run an auberge in France.
- You'll have to learn to speak French.
- Oui.
- You'll be leaving Chesapeake Shores.
- Oui.
And we will be wearing these beautiful dresses.
- "We," right? - Hmm.
Oui.
[BOTH SIGH.]
Is that what you want? Well, I think I'm in love.
And I wanna do what's best for him.
And me coming here would mean that he wouldn't have to leave and I could still run an auberge.
But I've never left Chesapeake Shores before.
[.]
I'll visit often.
I know you will.
[BOTH BREATHE DEEPLY.]
[BOTH CHUCKLE.]
MEGAN: Oh, these are gorgeous.
- I told you to keep it small.
- And I ignored you.
- Ugh.
[CHUCKLES.]
- So you nervous? - Hardly.
I'm already married.
Oh, I do love Thomas.
I have people come into my practice, and they've been married 50 years and things changed from where they start.
The marriage changes.
But they've just managed to find a way to get closer.
- A different way, you know? - Hm.
- Those are pretty.
- You know they say that sometimes it takes a lifetime to learn how to dance together.
I'm just hoping that the way we are now will be different than all the other times that just did not work before.
- A second chance.
Yep.
- New beginnings.
With way, way too many flowers.
Trust me, you're gonna love it.
They're gorgeous.
That's all I'm asking, Mort.
Just consider the deal.
Okay.
- I was right, wasn't I? - You were.
They're back to being friends, the merger's back on.
For now.
Which means you can resume your bodyguard duties.
I gotta tell you, a woman's been following me around all week.
- Oh, really? - She's relentless.
She even followed me into a closed museum last night.
Wow, that sounds serious.
[BOTH LAUGH.]
I'm sorry, are you Trace Riley? Can I take a picture? - Sure.
What's your name? - Diane.
- Nice to meet you, Diane.
- You too, Abby.
Join us for a photo? - I'm sorry, do I know you? - Well, no.
Diane, how ? How do you know Abby? [SOFTLY.]
Oh.
DIANE: You have a beautiful family.
[.]
THOMAS: Typical of your dad, he makes the decision to do something and then has other people actually do the work.
Dad has this way of convincing people when they're doing something for him they're really doing it for themselves.
Man, he was a tough act to follow.
I had this one teacher, Mr.
Healy.
Never did learn my name, spent the whole year calling me "Mick Two.
" - Well, it must've been tough.
- Following a big brother who everyone knew was gonna be a success, including him? Yeah.
You know, my life hasn't exactly been easy either.
It's hard to see that until you're out of the shadow.
And that takes time.
Thing is, I wouldn't be doing what I'm doing if Mick wasn't so good at what he does.
[CHUCKLES.]
Okay, so you battling Dad over the trust is really Dad's fault? In a way.
Hey, truth is we're all just trying to find a way to be special.
[.]
Here.
- I could've done this myself, you know.
- MICK: I know.
You know, I threatened our mayor once.
We were back at school.
He really hated Thomas.
- Is this story going anywhere? - Eventually.
[MICK CHUCKLES.]
- I assume Thomas didn't vote for him? - Probably not.
It was an after-school basketball game.
Thomas always tried to avoid fights, and Frank went after him.
- So I got involved.
- What'd you do? I got in his face and I told him if he messed with my brother, he'd have to mess with me.
So you threatened him? That's great.
You could call it that, or I was sticking up for my brother.
And then Thomas wouldn't speak to me for a month.
Well, in our family a month is nothing.
It has taken us 40 years to figure out why we weren't speaking.
[.]
- I can't wait for tomorrow night.
- Neither can I.
Jess O'Brien, would you dance with me? [PLAYING CLASSICAL MUSIC.]
David Peck, I would love to dance with you.
[CHUCKLES.]
This is a big step.
You said being with me was an adventure, so why not just take one? But I'd I'd never ask you to move for me.
That's why I want to.
Are you nervous? Um Running the company temporarily is a lot different than permanently.
Or running away.
- Together.
- [CHUCKLES.]
Abby, it's an obscure website, and it'll pass.
That's not the point, this is my family.
I know, and I know you didn't sign up for any of this but they get this first shot, and then they move on.
And it's not a story.
You don't know that, and it might get worse.
ANNOUNCER: Give it up for one of the hottest bands.
Celebrating their new record, it's Trace Riley Abby, it's gonna be fine.
Let's just talk about this later.
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE.]
[LOUDER CHEERS AND APPLAUSE.]
How are you doing tonight, Dallas? [.]
THOMAS: Mick, maybe you're not completely clear on how bachelor parties work but normally, the groom doesn't have to work for three hours to get a beer.
MICK: What's the matter, you don't like it? No, it's fine.
I just don't think you understand the concept of a party.
Oh, I understand the concept of a party.
I'm the guy who used to close the joint, remember? I'm just a little greedy to get this baby out on the high seas as soon as possible.
So now I have to ask.
Am I the only one who knows about this boat? Yeah.
Any reason why? I have no idea.
I didn't intend to tell you.
[CHUCKLES.]
You know what I find amazing? You've made a mess of so many things, yet you managed to raise five great kids.
Yeah, thank you, and I find it amazing that even though the O'Briens have never been very good at marriage you're still working on yours after 30 years.
An O'Brien happily married, that would be interesting.
It'd be a miracle.
Heh.
- Kind of like this boat not sinking.
- Exactly.
- No, you don't have to pay me for the beer.
- Oh, no.
MICK: Queen Victoria? 1888? This is the coin that Dad put under the mast when he stepped it.
[.]
When he got rid of the boat and they pulled the mast out, I kept the coin.
It was the only time we all got along.
The only time I ever saw him relaxed.
It's the only time I ever saw him smiling.
And now you've got a coin looking for another boat.
Wow, this is Thank you, Thomas.
Thank you.
You gonna need a crew.
Well, then, to the ship, to the crew - and the Blue Lady of the Skies.
- And the Blue Lady of the Skies.
MICK: No idea what Dad meant by that.
- Not a clue.
- I don't think he even knew.
- I don't think he knew either.
Yeah.
I I know, girls.
I understand, sweetie.
Well, I am going to see you very soon.
I love you too.
I love you both so much.
Okay.
[BEEP.]
[SIGHS.]
- Hi.
- Hi.
- What's this? - I've been going back and forth but I had to show you this.
What is this? Mortgage? School reports? I found it in my dad's office.
This is Jess' entire life.
Like I said, when it comes to my parents, nothing happens by accident.
Thank you.
[.]
Good book? Yeah, but I've read better.
It's pretty slow.
Do you remember your plastic army soldiers? What? That giant box of green soldiers? And they all melted? - That might've been me.
- Mm.
- So you were the one.
- Yeah.
Yeah.
I borrowed Dad's video camera with my friends.
We sort of shot a war movie.
Might have lit them on fire.
[KEVIN CHUCKLES.]
All right, and you're telling me this now, why? When you told me about Danielle Look, I can take care of myself but you were just trying to help and I [.]
I'm sorry.
Anyway, I thought maybe I could make it up to you.
You know, brothers in arms band of brothers.
It's a medic.
A little Kevin.
This might be one of the weirder things you've done.
- Although this guy does look like me.
- [LAUGHS.]
Yeah, that's what I thought.
- Thanks.
- Yeah.
That's me on the stretcher.
[BOTH LAUGH.]
ABBY: Can't believe we're saying goodbye.
I know it's just for a few weeks this time, but TRACE: But it's supposed to get easier, not harder.
Yeah.
So we'll talk tonight? I will call you when I get in.
Thanks for being my bodyguard.
Well, someone's gotta have your back.
Listen, Abby.
- I'm so sorry.
- I know.
I love you.
I love you too.
Come on.
- Bye.
- Bye.
[CAMERA CLICKS.]
[SIGHS.]
Jess, this is crazy.
I'm so sorry.
- JESS: I'm not.
- You're not sorry? I'm too upset to be sorry.
And to think I thought Deidra liked me.
I thought she truly wanted the best for me.
The best for David.
- Jess, you look really good in that dress.
- Really? - I'm not gonna take it! - Okay, what are you gonna do? I don't know.
Everything.
Nothing, I don't know.
I'm just very, very, very angry.
Do you want me to come with you? No, I want you to stay here and stick to the plan.
Got it.
You're not going to do anything too crazy, right? Have I ever done anything crazy in my lifetime? - Frequently.
- Then yes, I am.
[ABBY GRUNTS.]
[HUFFS.]
Mr.
and Mrs.
Peck.
- You look lovely, Jessica.
- Thank you, I know.
You look lovely too.
Oh, thank you.
Which is why this hurts so much.
You had no right to spy on me.
This is just not cool, and mean, and rotten and wrong.
Jessica, there is a complete explanation for all of this.
Really? Oh, good.
[.]
I mean, no.
This is just wrong.
We wanted to make sure that David was with someone of whom we approve.
Still wrong.
You can't spy on me.
I don't see the problem, Jessica.
And that's the problem.
You say that you want me here, you tell David that you want me here and all the while, it's to see if I'm good enough? Yeah, I might just run a B&B and I really don't know what an auberge is, and I don't speak French and I don't play polo and when you said "Gstaad" earlier, I didn't know it started with a "G.
" Which is silly anyway.
But I am proud of who I am, and where I come from, and who my family is and while they're all nuts, and we have our problems, trust me, a ton of them they love me, and I love them, and I don't need you to say I'm good enough because no one is gonna put Jess in a corner.
So before I move into this fishbowl I'm leaving, and that's I, Jess.
Not I, Jessica.
So you can have your party, and your life, and your son even though I love him a whole lot but you can't have me.
And I'm keeping this dress.
[.]
[JESS PANTING.]
- You're wearing your dress too? - You bet I am, I'm never taking it off.
Operation Pumpkin, engaged.
- You look really amazing by the way.
- Really? Thank you so much.
[GRUNTS.]
- JESS: You tell David we're leaving? - Haven't seen him.
- JESS: What? But that was part of the plan.
- No time.
JESS: Oh, no.
[.]
NELL: Love is a spark that creates a fire and to make it last, you have to tend to it.
You have to nurture it.
And you have to give it room to grow.
It's about changing with each other, and it's about finding the balance.
Not only who you are, but who you are together.
You enter marriage with your eyes wide open but you walk through it with one eye shut.
Because great marriages, they don't worry about the small things.
No, great marriages, they focus on the bigger picture and they focus on love.
Kiss her now? You may kiss each other.
Kiss your wife, and kiss your husband.
[BREE WHOOPING.]
MICK: Well done.
Congratulations, Thomas.
- NELL: Oh, Thomas.
- MEGAN: Congratulations.
KEVIN: Guys, congratulations.
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE.]
You've been amazing, San Antonio.
We've got time for one more.
It's called "More Where That Came From.
" One, two, three.
They love to tell us That we'll never make it They're throwing stones Against the glass just to break it But they don't live here They don't know this kind of love MEGAN: Thank you for building that arch.
Twice.
Oh, you were right.
I'm glad we didn't keep it simple.
- "If it's worth doing, it's worth doing right.
" - Nicely done.
- Ah.
Years of practice.
- [CHUCKLES.]
At our wedding, did the minister say that thing about walking into a marriage with both eyes open and walking through it with one eye closed? Honestly I can't remember.
[.]
NARRATOR: Next time on Chesapeake Shores: Simon, what are you doing here? - I volunteered to simplify your life.
- My parents still go out on dates too.
ABBY: Okay, there are pictures of my daughters online.
- Trace, it scares me.
- I want to spend time with you.
- And I'm not interested.
- I can't believe David and I are over.
- I'll be there.
- What is it? Sarah was hurt at work.
She's on her way to the hospital.
