Chesapeake Shores (2016) s05e05 Episode Script
They Can't Take That Away from Me

Previously on Chesapeake Shores
We could be pregnant right now.
We could be.
I spent 17 years as a curator
at the MET in New York, and
I just want the world to
know about your work!
If your father is innocent,
then you shouldn't have
anything to worry about.
- Do you have a lock on that drawer?
- Yeah, but I don't have a key yet.
You might not want to leave
any documents sitting around.
Have you seen my car keys?
I was just wondering
if everything's okay.
I appreciate you caring
and do me a favor
keep it between you and me
just until I figure
this whole thing out.
Ah, another Chesapeake Shores Day
is upon us this weekend,
and the O'Briens are out in force.
We wouldn't want to be anywhere else.
I'm glad you're here.
Your family is the backbone
of this community.
- That's nice.
- He's the mayor.
It's an election year.
He says that to every family.
- No
- Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah.
O'Brien, don't reach up so high.
I've been helping to build
these booths for 40 years.
- I think I know what I'm doing.
- 40 years, huh?
Exactly my point.
Maybe it's time to let someone
else risk their life up there.
I like to live dangerously.
Hey, hand me an Allen wrench, will you?
Yeah, happy to.
Gee which wrench is named Allen?
Kidding, but I don't see one.
That's because it's a
Gracie Allen wrench.
That's actually pretty good.
You're trying to get me
down from that ladder,
- aren't you?
- It worked, didn't it?
Yup.
- Mick O'Brien?
- Yes?
- Could I have a word with you?
- What can I do for you?
In private?
Anything you have to say
you can say right here.
All right, Mandrake will be here
any minute to take us to the site.
That is great. We have so
many decisions to make.
This is such a charming town.
We like it.
I've decided to stay a while.
See the project started.
Ah, well, we couldn't do it without you.
- Oh, no, wait, we can.
- Ah
Ooh.
I bought a little bungalow
out on Quander Road,
but it's not quite ready yet,
so I'm looking for a place
to stay for the night.
Any recommendations?
Well, there's lots of great
places in Baltimore.
That's over an hour away.
You catch on quick.
Choosing to ignore that.
I was thinking a B&B.
- This Inn at Eagle Point sounds nice.
- Oh, yeah?
Huh, says the proprietor
is Jess O'Brien.
- Any relation?
- She is my sister,
but you already knew that.
- Mandrake did some research.
- Mm-hmm.
- Yeah, I think I'll stay here.
- Why?
'Cause it looks like a nice place,
has good Yelp reviews.
Checking in on the competition?
Now, does that sound like me?
- I really don't know.
- Hmm.
Mandrake! There you are.
I was unexpectedly
detained by traffic, sir.
Apparently, there's a thing called
Chesapeake Shores Day going on.
So I've heard.
Oh hey!
Never mind.
What was Sarah doing coming
out of Dr. Baum's office?
- The OBGYN?
- Yep.
Maybe she has news.
Well, I'm sure she'll tell us in time.
Ah, the Grover family!
I'm glad you're here.
Your family is the backbone
of Chesapeake Shores.
Hi.
Is something wrong?
We just got paid a visit by a lawyer.
Your dad's being sued.
Sued by Paul Dilpher.
He's saying that the
fraud is all Mick's fault.
Guess who's representing him?
I know.
My firm.
They're trying to scare you.
All they're doing is making me angry.
You didn't know anything
about this, right?
No, they're keeping me away from
anything to do with Dilpher.
- A firewall?
- Yes.
Now, here's what you don't know.
We have proof, actual proof
that Dilpher forged your signature
on several contracts.
What are we going to do
with that information?
- Abby and I have a plan.
- Which is?
We haven't worked out
all the details yet,
but trust me when I say this, Dad
we're gonna get him.
I'm just saying,
having Evan Kincaid stay here
- just might not be the best idea.
- Too late.
Someone from his office already
called and reserved a room.
I'm looking forward to it.
I read his interview in "Vanity Fair".
He's really witty.
Ah yeah, maybe,
but I'm telling you,
he's so high maintenance.
Well, I'm used to dealing
with people like that.
That's my family, for better or worse.
Well, I have to admit, I'm
not crazy about him building
some fancy-schmancy hotel in town.
What if it hurts our business?
I think it's gonna help our business.
Anything that makes Chesapeake Shores
a more attractive vacation spot.
It's a win-win.
But good use of "fancy-schmancy".
Thank you.
His magazine photo?
Very handsome.
Handsome? I mean
maybe he's got a nice face,
but I'm telling you,
he will drive you crazy.
But at least I have a nice face.
- Hi, I'm Evan.
- Hi! I'm Jess O'Brien.
This is my fiancé, David Peck.
Nice to meet you.
- Your place is beautiful.
- Thank you.
And what is that incredible smell?
I am making some handmade tortellini.
Oh.
Room for one more?
Absolutely.
Great.
Hi, Abby.
You're awfully quiet.
It's hard to talk with
your foot in your mouth.
Don't give it a second thought.
I like that you call
'em like you see 'em.
Okay, now, when I said
"drives you crazy,"
- what I meant was
- Challenging?
Or annoying.
Let's go with challenging.
So you two are tying the knot, huh?
Congrats. I wish you
nothing but happiness.
Thank you.
Are you married?
Mm-mm, no.
I have not been able
to make that one work.
I guess I'm too
- "Challenging?"
- Not the word they used, but sure.
So, won't you stay and join
us for some tortellini?
Oh, I would love to, but I
have this demanding client
who keeps me busy all the time.
- Must drive you crazy.
- You have no idea.
- Bye!
- Bye.
So I read over your prospectus
for the class you're
teaching in the fall.
Yeah, what did you think?
I like it a lot.
It's very creative.
I think it's just what
the program needs.
That's great.
It's, uh it's only missing one thing.
- Oh. What?
- A name.
A class needs a catchy
name in the course catalog.
Something that will grab
the kids' attention.
That's interesting. I didn't
think you needed to worry
about marketing in academia.
Ah, I remember when I was that naive.
We should have dinner sometime,
and I'll tell you about it.
- Dinner?
- Or lunch, or a coffee.
Don't worry, it's not a date.
I wasn't worried.
Margaret! Margaret, hey
Um, I was thinking about
what you said the other day.
Really? What did I say?
You implied that someone
was going through my desk.
Doesn't sound like
something I would say,
but if someone is going
through your desk,
and you know that,
it seems that you're in control
of what they find, aren't you?
Morning.
Hey, Bree.
- Luke, hi!
- Hey.
Hey, did you take that job?
I did. On your advice.
That's great.
- Do you want to sit?
- Sure, for a minute,
- if I'm not interrupting.
- No, not at all.
It's just my lesson plan.
I'm supposed to teach college kids
how to write the stories of their lives.
And my head of department
wants me to come up with
a catchy name for it,
so, um
Hmm, how about this,
"My Life And Easy Times."
Oh, that's not bad.
"Memoirs of a Graduate
Student, Part One?"
- Accurate, but kinda boring.
- Oh.
How about, "That's My Story,
and I'm Sticking To It?"
A little defensive.
Yeah, I have that problem.
"A Novel Approach to Writing Your Life."
That's good.
Or "A Novel Approach to Self."
That is not bad.
- You have hidden depths.
- Yeah,
well, I have to blend in
due to the sensitive nature of my work.
Are you a spy?
Okay, we prefer to use
the term "operative,"
but I think I've said too much already.
You know what, I've always
said that Chesapeake Shores
was a hotbed of international intrigue,
but nobody ever believed me.
Yes, you know, this place is
actually an information drop
for the KGB.
That explains why Sally is so elusive.
But I thought the KGB was no more?
You know too much.
Give me your number in case
I have to tap your phone.
Fun.
Well, this conversation never happened.
What conversation?
And they didn't tell you anything more?
Nope, but I think I'm being spied on.
What makes you think that?
One of the paralegals told me.
Well, she implied it.
I think she was saying I don't
know what she was saying,
She can kind of be a confusing person.
But she's trying to help you?
She is.
I have calls into other builders
who worked with Dilpher in the past.
I asked them to pull up old contracts
to see if they notice any discrepancies.
People will just go
and pull files for you?
Not for me. They're
doing it for you, Dad.
Mick O'Brien's reputation is gold.
Used to be.
Now I'm being sued for
criminal negligence.
We're going to figure this out.
If Dilpher did this to you,
he probably did it to other builders.
Now, we only have two
days until the deposition,
which doesn't give us
much time to prepare.
Well, we'd better get to it.
They should know better than
to mess with the O'Briens.
- David, this is so good.
- Thank you.
You know, I made this at the firehouse.
That was this?
There's no way you gave
me the same recipe.
Yeah, I may have left
out a couple ingredients.
I knew it.
I kind of feel sorry for him.
What? Oh, no, he's fine.
I bet he loves some alone time.
He's around people all day.
Hmm, I don't know.
Hey, I'm sorry to interrupt.
I just wanted to say my
compliments to the chef.
- Do you want to join us?
- Oh, no, no,
I wouldn't want to intrude.
Okay.
Well, if you insist. Okay.
Hi! I am Evan.
Hey. Kevin O'Brien.
This is my wife, Sarah.
- Hi.
- Hi. Wow, another O'Brien.
- How many of you are there?
- There's a few more of us.
Amazing.
So, Kevin, what are your interests?
I'm sorry.
Is this okay?
Yeah. Yes, it is.
Hey, I saw you this morning,
coming out of Dr. Baum's office.
Do you have news?
No, no, it's just a check-up.
Oh.
Excuse me for just a second.
Okay, so, suppose I was choking,
could you Heimlich me?
We don't really call it that
anymore, but yeah, sure.
Do you ever just turn
the sirens on for fun?
- We're not supposed to
- I'll be right back.
Okay.
- Sarah
- Yeah?
I'm sorry if I upset you.
No, I'm fine, really.
What is it?
I did go see Dr. Baum today
and he said that I have endometriosis,
and I might not be able to get pregnant.
Sarah, I'm so sorry.
I haven't even worked up the nerve
to tell Kevin about it yet.
My brother married
you for a good reason.
He thinks you're perfect.
I'm not perfect.
But you're perfect for him.
You guys are going to
be amazing parents.
One way or another,
you're going to find a way
to fill your arms with babies.
I hope you're right.
Yeah.
Thank you.
That was fun.
Evan's a piece of work, huh?
I kinda like him.
Yeah.
Kevin and Sarah are
trying to have a baby.
Oh, nice.
I remember them saying that
they wanted a lot of kids.
But Sarah told me
she might have trouble conceiving.
That's tough.
It's not the end of the
world, though, is it,
to not be able to have a baby?
No, I guess not.
It's sad, though.
Mm.
- What smells so good?
- I'm making me casserole.
- Your special casserole?
- Uh-huh.
For who?
Do you really want Arthur
Driscoll to be sitting down
and talking with you?
- I do.
- Uh-huh, well then,
this casserole is for him.
Hmm. Thank you.
Hey, did you get my text?
Yeah, I'm intrigued.
So they found these on
the hotel building site?
Mm-hmm, they were digging the
underground parking structure,
and found these in the soil.
Whoa
Wow, this is so cool.
I guess we should call somebody.
I already did. There's an archeologist
from the Smithsonian coming down.
They look Colonial.
Okay, look at this fork,
and look at this fork.
Three, or what, 400 years have passed,
and the only real change is
four tines instead of three?
History is fascinating, don't you think?
It was not my favorite subject.
Listen, you realize that this
could cause a work stoppage
- if they find something significant.
- Yeah.
It's no big deal.
It's part of the fun of building stuff.
Heck, on one of my construction
sites in Scotland,
they found a 1000-year-old skeleton.
Really?
- Evan's now in a museum in Edinburgh.
- You called it "Evan"?
It wasn't my idea,
but I paid for the excavation,
and the museum decided
to name it after me,
but you know what the best thing
about Evan the Skeleton is?
I'm sure you're going to tell me.
He has a nice face.
Now, don't take it
personally if he's rude.
He is a little cranky.
Oh, ho, ho, I remember.
- Who's there?
- It's me again!
Megan O'Brien!
What is wrong with you?
Can't you take a hint?
Well, I brought someone
that you might remember.
Nell O'Brien, as I live and breathe.
Hello, Arthur Driscoll.
I've brought you a casserole.
This is delicious.
Reminds me of the old days.
Sure now, what brought
you back here, Arthur?
I spent a thousand hours
sitting on the shore here,
reading and sketching.
- Closest I came to happiness.
- I, um
I'm so sorry that I did
not stay in touch with you
- after Elaine died.
- Oh, I lost contact with everyone.
Elaine was my contact.
How's Charlie?
Charlie passed on a long time ago.
Oh, I'm sorry.
There are so few people around
who remember the old days anymore.
Oh, and do you remember that
precious one-room school house
- on Norton Point Road?
- I think I did a painting of that.
What?
Oh
Arthur
Here it is.
Arthur
Oh. Oh
Well, you you captured it,
- perfectly.
- Ah, it's okay.
- No
- You can have it.
- What?
- She can?
Sure. I don't want it.
I haven't painted or
drawn anything for years.
The man who made them
seems like an entirely different person.
Well, I will I will treasure this.
Thank you, Arthur.
Come on, it's you and me, kid.
Okay, let's do it.
Female, early 20s,
she has collapsed at
Chesapeake Shores Library.
Reportedly in and out of consciousness.
You are okay. We're taking you
to the Emergency room right now.
We're here to help. Now, Miss, are
you allergic to any medication?
Miss are you allergic
to any medication?
- I don't think so.
- Okay.
Are you on any medication right now?
Antibiotics for an ear infection.
It's in my book bag.
Point three milliliters epinephrine
right now, Captain.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,
what are you doing?
- What?
- I said .3 milliliters, not .6!
What?
Remember every year
when we used to go to Aunt
Casey's house for Easter,
and she would have those pretty baskets
with the chocolate bunnies, and
the eggs, and the jelly beans?
Hello, Jess. I'm fine, how are you?
My point is, aunts are important.
You should never underestimate
the power of aunts.
Yes.
What is happening right now?
How am I supposed to be a mother?
Well, um you give birth.
No, seriously.
I have no idea how to be a mom.
My mother wasn't around to
teach me basic mothering stuff.
Well, you had Gran,
and Abby, and me-ish?
But not my mom.
How am I supposed to know
how to teach them right from wrong,
or remember to stand up straight,
or send thank you notes?
You just do that stuff,
and you just love your kids, Jess.
You have so much love to go around.
You'll don't have to worry about this.
I don't know.
You don't know what?
If I want to have kids.
Is that a terrible thing to say?
No.
No, no, if
If you don't want kids, that's fine.
But what if David wants to?
Oh.
You haven't talked about that?
Not really.
I guess we should, before we
I-I think you should.
Kevin
He could have killed that girl.
Yeah.
What are you going to do?
I have to report it.
I can't cover for him.
I know. Did you talk to him about it?
I tried to.
You owe it to him.
Hey, Captain, you home?
Captain! You here?
It's Kev.
Welcome to my world.
Sorry, just the door was open.
Do you know that out of everybody
at he station-house,
you're the only one that noticed?
Or the only one who said something.
I wasn't trying to pry.
It started about four months ago.
Little things.
Forgetting people's names,
where I left my car.
Then I'd get better.
I thought it was a passing
thing, you know?
Then it would come back worse.
The forgetfulness, the confusion.
What can I do to help?
I appreciate that,
but I'm seeing my doctor tomorrow.
I was a stubborn fool, putting it off,
not wanting to know the truth.
I see.
I mean, I thought I
could stay on the job
until I couldn't hide it anymore.
Then I almost killed that woman.
If you hadn't been there
You know, Captain,
if this was any other kind
of job, maybe you could
But it's isn't, is it?
It's life and death, every day.
I tell you, I've been at
this job for over 30 years.
It's really hard to let it go.
I'm so sorry.
I'm going to step down.
- I, uh
- I'll do it soon
and I won't go on any more rides,
so you don't have to worry.
I kind of can't help but worry.
- Hey.
- Hey, just left a little something
- in my desk.
- Did you lock it?
Sure did.
Thanks for driving.
Mandrake hates to take
days off, but I insist.
This is your bungalow?
Yeah.
Hey, you want to come
in, have some dinner?
I'm sure there's a kitchen
and food in there somewhere.
Next to your indoor swimming pool?
No, no, that is around back.
I have to get home,
but you give me a call
if you get lost in there.
Will do!
Hey, what did you want to talk about?
Well, I went to see Dr. Baum
and he said I might have
trouble getting pregnant.
Oh.
Endometriosis.
Hey, hey, honey we'll be okay.
- No, but, Kevin, we want a family
- And we'll have one.
If it comes down to it, we could adopt.
As long as we have each other,
nothing else matters.
I'm going to go for a swim.
- Oh!
- Big race in two days.
But it's the middle of the dinner rush.
I could use some help.
It's winding down.
I'm sure you can handle it.
Yeah, I know, I'm sure I can,
- but I'd appreciate it if you would
- Why are you yelling at me?
I'm not yelling at you.
I've never yelled at
you in my entire life.
What's wrong?
Why are you marrying me?
Um
Because you're awesome
and I love you.
Don't you think it's irresponsible
to jump into a marriage
for reasons like that?
Okay
what's going on?
Talk to me.
I think you should know that I
might not be a very good mother.
Okay, well, I think that you
might be wrong about that.
I just want you to be fully
I want you to be aware
I'm saying that I wouldn't blame you
Do you understand?
No, not really. What are you saying?
That you're not going
to be a good mother
to the children that
we don't even have yet?
Exactly.
What if I don't know what I'm doing,
as a parent?
But that's the whole point.
Nobody knows what they're doing.
You figure it out,
and whatever happens, we do together.
It's not like anything is all on you.
But what if don't
What if I don't want kids?
Um
You don't?
I don't know.
But what if I don't?
Would you still want to marry me?
You didn't answer.
No, I didn't.
When is Dad going to call that lawyer?
I don't know, but he's saying
he wants to do it himself,
- which scares me.
- Hey, David.
Would you make that delicious
eggs Benny with crab meat
for brunch instead of breakfast?
- I can make it happen.
- Yeah.
You're a good man.
I'll be out on the porch
if anyone wants to join me
in a game of backgammon.
Ah, you're ready to take on
the Backgammon Master, huh?
One question before we start
how do you play this game?
Why are you here?
- What do you mean?
- I mean, you bought a giant bungalow
that has an indoor swimming pool,
and probably a tennis
court and a bowling alley.
But only duck pin.
Again, why are you here?
I like it here.
I like the people, I like the activity.
There's always something
going around here.
My place is so quiet.
Lonely?
I had dinner with Jess and
David, and Kevin and Sarah.
No, I I crashed their
dinner, I guess, yeah.
But I had a great time, you know?
They were so much fun, and
they knew each other so well.
It was like
Family?
Yeah.
I never really had that.
Oh. I'm sorry.
Don't be.
It made me who I am today.
All right. Backgammon
Take the little dice,
and put it in the little cup.
I am all ears.
Well, we're ready to begin.
Is your lawyer going to be
gracing us with his presence?
I'll be representing myself.
How nice.
Hello, everyone.
Connor there's no
reason for you to be here.
Oh, don't mind me, I'm just observing.
- Connor
- If Mr. O'Brien wants to observe,
let him observe.
Mr. O'Brien, we want you to understand
that Paul Dilpher respects you,
and he wants to come to an
agreement that can end quickly.
There's no point going down a
hard and difficult road here.
And what does this agreement
look like? Because right now,
it looks to me like I'm being
set up to be the fall guy
for Paul Dilpher.
It's not personal, Mick.
- It's just business.
- Oh, it's very personal.
You're trying to destroy
me and my reputation.
Mr. O'Brien, just hear us out.
No, you hear me out.
I have proof
that several of the contracts
Mr. Dilpher claims I signed
are, in fact, forgeries.
Consequently, I'm going
to make you an offer.
Wonderful. Um, let's get to it.
It's a one-time-only offer,
and it expires in five minutes.
We're all ears.
I will walk away from all of this
if Mr. Dilpher will sign
a document right now
stating that he lied
about my involvement,
and if he apologizes
profusely and publicly
for implicating me in
his illegal transactions.
We thought you were
coming to your senses.
This is Leonard Shakley and Associates,
builders in California.
This is Gross and Madden,
builders in Wisconsin.
Smith and Sons, Oregon.
It seems they, too, found discrepancies
in Mr. Dilpher's contracts.
That's very interesting, but
I have some documents here, too.
A personal communication
between your children,
Mr. Connor O'Brien and
Mrs. Abby O'Brien-Winters.
In it, they claim that they believe
their father is not innocent.
You have no right to go through
my personal correspondence
and steal documents.
I knew you would speak up eventually.
Anything written on company time
is a work product.
This was found in the garbage here.
Linda, that was locked in my desk.
We'll have to agree to
disagree on that one.
"Abby, I'm so worried about Dad.
Who knows what he knew
or when he knew it?
I feel like he should
just take responsibility
for anything he was a part of.
After all,
he was the one who raised
us to tell the truth."
Wait
what's on the second
page of that letter?
The second page?
That's right.
Because, as I said, that
was locked in my desk,
and it was a first draft
on the firm's stationary
that I notarized and mailed to myself
here at the firm.
"I feel it is his duty
to tell the truth
about who ate Gran's coffee cake.
We all deserved to enjoy it,
and he selfishly ate
more than his share,
leaving just crumbs. Connor."
I'm sorry, Connor, I just
I just can't resist Mom's coffee cake.
I find it shocking that people who
are supposed to be my colleagues
would go through my
personal correspondence.
I have no choice but to offer
my resignation immediately,
which I happen to have on me.
I quit.
These documents prove
that Dilpher forged
Mr. O'Brien's signature
on 24 separate contracts,
and this letter proves
that this law firm
spied on a junior associate
in an attempt to get
intel on his family.
You should be ashamed of yourselves.
I'll be reporting this
to the Bar Association.
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
That's my son, the lawyer.
- Well, we did it.
- Yes, we did.
I'm very proud of you, Connor.
That was a brave thing you did,
quitting your job like that.
I don't know. I couldn't
have kept working here.
What are you going to do now?
I hadn't really thought about it.
Except I'm done working
for big law firms.
I want to practice law,
that's why I became a lawyer.
- Then why don't you?
- What am I going to do,
hang up my shingle in Chesapeake Shores?
Connor O'Brien, attorney-at-law?
Sure. Why not?
We just wanted a second opinion.
Which is very wise,
and I have to tell you,
the news is not that bad.
But I do have endometriosis,
and I read something like
40% percent of women
with endometriosis have
problems conceiving?
For every bit of real information
you can find on the Internet,
you can also get led down a
rabbit hole of misinformation
and doom and gloom.
That's what I warned you about.
You did it, too.
- I know, but
- Everybody does it.
Just don't believe the worst.
Now, how long have you been trying?
A couple months.
I say you give it at least six months
before we consider other options.
That shouldn't be too hard, should it?
No.
What other options?
Well, we could consider IUI,
intrauterine insemination,
or we may have to use surgery to
remove the endometrial growths,
but let's just focus on the now.
And remember,
many women who have your condition
are able to have healthy,
full-term babies. Don't worry.
The bottom line is, we're
going to get through it,
and I'm going to be with
you every step of the way.
- I know, but
- But what?
- This isn't me, I'm not a worrier.
- So?
So why am I so worried about this?
I mean, I run into burning buildings
without giving it a second
thought, but this?
This just stresses me out.
Because you can't control it.
I promise you, Sarah, we're
going to get through this.
- Hey.
- Hey.
I'm sorry about what I said yesterday.
Did you mean it?
I don't know.
I'm not sure.
Look, I'm not sure either,
but I know I want to be with you
and
I'd like to have kids.
But if you don't want to, then
I guess I'm just going to
have to deal with that.
I love you,
and I'm not saying
I definitely don't want kids.
I'm just saying the idea
scares the heck out of me.
Yeah, well, it is it's pretty scary.
Yeah.
Hey.
I'll see you at the finish line, Mom.
May the best woman win, darling.
All right, guys. Keep the pace,
we can win this thing.
And remember, it's not about winning.
It's about taking part.
Good one.
You're funny.
We're O'Briens, it's all about winning.
See ya out there.
- Okay.
- We've gotta beat them.
Good luck, girls!
Go, go, go!
Roll in, everybody.
And now, I'd like to present
our beloved Fire Captain, Roger Gahagan.
Come on up here, Roger!
Thank you.
Well, thank you very much.
We raised enough money for
a brand-new fire truck.
Yeah!
Yes. Isn't that fantastic?
And since we have a new fire truck
I think it's time we had a new Captain.
That's right, I'm stepping down.
Retiring.
I think, uh
I think it's time to take
it easy for a while.
Thank you to everyone.
It's been a great ride.
Thank you, everybody.
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
I love you.
So I said, you tell me.
All right, everybody,
I'd like to make a toast
to all of these fine
athletes here today.
- Cheers!
- Well done.
Especially to Mom.
You really brought it.
Thank you, son, and I also
brought Epsom Salts.
I am soaking in a hot tub
tonight. Everything hurts.
I'd also like to make another toast
- to Connor and Abby.
- Yes.
The Dilpher case against
me has been dropped,
and criminal charges are being
been brought against Paul Dilpher
- as we speak.
- Hear, hear!
- All right.
- Cheers.
Well, we knew it would work out, Dad.
Not without you guys.
I've also made a very important decision
- regarding the wedding.
- Oh, you don't want any gifts?
No, I want gifts. Lots of gifts.
- That's not it.
- Got it.
I would like Abby to be my Maid of Honor
and Bree, to officiate.
I'd be honored.
Didn't you marry Brian
and Scott back in Chicago?
I did, yeah, but I'm not
registered here in Maryland.
Oh, wait. Wait, wait.
I can help with that.
Click there.
Okay.
And now you are,
and you owe me $50.
Put it on my tab.
I'm never gonna see that.
This is going to be great!
Wait, if I'm your Maid of Honor,
does that mean I get to throw
you a Bachelorette Party?
Uh-oh. Should I be worried?
Very worried.
Previously on Chesapeake Shores
We could be pregnant right now.
We could be.
I spent 17 years as a curator
at the MET in New York, and
I just want the world to
know about your work!
If your father is innocent,
then you shouldn't have
anything to worry about.
- Do you have a lock on that drawer?
- Yeah, but I don't have a key yet.
You might not want to leave
any documents sitting around.
Have you seen my car keys?
I was just wondering
if everything's okay.
I appreciate you caring
and do me a favor
keep it between you and me
just until I figure
this whole thing out.
Ah, another Chesapeake Shores Day
is upon us this weekend,
and the O'Briens are out in force.
We wouldn't want to be anywhere else.
I'm glad you're here.
Your family is the backbone
of this community.
- That's nice.
- He's the mayor.
It's an election year.
He says that to every family.
- No
- Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah.
O'Brien, don't reach up so high.
I've been helping to build
these booths for 40 years.
- I think I know what I'm doing.
- 40 years, huh?
Exactly my point.
Maybe it's time to let someone
else risk their life up there.
I like to live dangerously.
Hey, hand me an Allen wrench, will you?
Yeah, happy to.
Gee which wrench is named Allen?
Kidding, but I don't see one.
That's because it's a
Gracie Allen wrench.
That's actually pretty good.
You're trying to get me
down from that ladder,
- aren't you?
- It worked, didn't it?
Yup.
- Mick O'Brien?
- Yes?
- Could I have a word with you?
- What can I do for you?
In private?
Anything you have to say
you can say right here.
All right, Mandrake will be here
any minute to take us to the site.
That is great. We have so
many decisions to make.
This is such a charming town.
We like it.
I've decided to stay a while.
See the project started.
Ah, well, we couldn't do it without you.
- Oh, no, wait, we can.
- Ah
Ooh.
I bought a little bungalow
out on Quander Road,
but it's not quite ready yet,
so I'm looking for a place
to stay for the night.
Any recommendations?
Well, there's lots of great
places in Baltimore.
That's over an hour away.
You catch on quick.
Choosing to ignore that.
I was thinking a B&B.
- This Inn at Eagle Point sounds nice.
- Oh, yeah?
Huh, says the proprietor
is Jess O'Brien.
- Any relation?
- She is my sister,
but you already knew that.
- Mandrake did some research.
- Mm-hmm.
- Yeah, I think I'll stay here.
- Why?
'Cause it looks like a nice place,
has good Yelp reviews.
Checking in on the competition?
Now, does that sound like me?
- I really don't know.
- Hmm.
Mandrake! There you are.
I was unexpectedly
detained by traffic, sir.
Apparently, there's a thing called
Chesapeake Shores Day going on.
So I've heard.
Oh hey!
Never mind.
What was Sarah doing coming
out of Dr. Baum's office?
- The OBGYN?
- Yep.
Maybe she has news.
Well, I'm sure she'll tell us in time.
Ah, the Grover family!
I'm glad you're here.
Your family is the backbone
of Chesapeake Shores.
Hi.
Is something wrong?
We just got paid a visit by a lawyer.
Your dad's being sued.
Sued by Paul Dilpher.
He's saying that the
fraud is all Mick's fault.
Guess who's representing him?
I know.
My firm.
They're trying to scare you.
All they're doing is making me angry.
You didn't know anything
about this, right?
No, they're keeping me away from
anything to do with Dilpher.
- A firewall?
- Yes.
Now, here's what you don't know.
We have proof, actual proof
that Dilpher forged your signature
on several contracts.
What are we going to do
with that information?
- Abby and I have a plan.
- Which is?
We haven't worked out
all the details yet,
but trust me when I say this, Dad
we're gonna get him.
I'm just saying,
having Evan Kincaid stay here
- just might not be the best idea.
- Too late.
Someone from his office already
called and reserved a room.
I'm looking forward to it.
I read his interview in "Vanity Fair".
He's really witty.
Ah yeah, maybe,
but I'm telling you,
he's so high maintenance.
Well, I'm used to dealing
with people like that.
That's my family, for better or worse.
Well, I have to admit, I'm
not crazy about him building
some fancy-schmancy hotel in town.
What if it hurts our business?
I think it's gonna help our business.
Anything that makes Chesapeake Shores
a more attractive vacation spot.
It's a win-win.
But good use of "fancy-schmancy".
Thank you.
His magazine photo?
Very handsome.
Handsome? I mean
maybe he's got a nice face,
but I'm telling you,
he will drive you crazy.
But at least I have a nice face.
- Hi, I'm Evan.
- Hi! I'm Jess O'Brien.
This is my fiancé, David Peck.
Nice to meet you.
- Your place is beautiful.
- Thank you.
And what is that incredible smell?
I am making some handmade tortellini.
Oh.
Room for one more?
Absolutely.
Great.
Hi, Abby.
You're awfully quiet.
It's hard to talk with
your foot in your mouth.
Don't give it a second thought.
I like that you call
'em like you see 'em.
Okay, now, when I said
"drives you crazy,"
- what I meant was
- Challenging?
Or annoying.
Let's go with challenging.
So you two are tying the knot, huh?
Congrats. I wish you
nothing but happiness.
Thank you.
Are you married?
Mm-mm, no.
I have not been able
to make that one work.
I guess I'm too
- "Challenging?"
- Not the word they used, but sure.
So, won't you stay and join
us for some tortellini?
Oh, I would love to, but I
have this demanding client
who keeps me busy all the time.
- Must drive you crazy.
- You have no idea.
- Bye!
- Bye.
So I read over your prospectus
for the class you're
teaching in the fall.
Yeah, what did you think?
I like it a lot.
It's very creative.
I think it's just what
the program needs.
That's great.
It's, uh it's only missing one thing.
- Oh. What?
- A name.
A class needs a catchy
name in the course catalog.
Something that will grab
the kids' attention.
That's interesting. I didn't
think you needed to worry
about marketing in academia.
Ah, I remember when I was that naive.
We should have dinner sometime,
and I'll tell you about it.
- Dinner?
- Or lunch, or a coffee.
Don't worry, it's not a date.
I wasn't worried.
Margaret! Margaret, hey
Um, I was thinking about
what you said the other day.
Really? What did I say?
You implied that someone
was going through my desk.
Doesn't sound like
something I would say,
but if someone is going
through your desk,
and you know that,
it seems that you're in control
of what they find, aren't you?
Morning.
Hey, Bree.
- Luke, hi!
- Hey.
Hey, did you take that job?
I did. On your advice.
That's great.
- Do you want to sit?
- Sure, for a minute,
- if I'm not interrupting.
- No, not at all.
It's just my lesson plan.
I'm supposed to teach college kids
how to write the stories of their lives.
And my head of department
wants me to come up with
a catchy name for it,
so, um
Hmm, how about this,
"My Life And Easy Times."
Oh, that's not bad.
"Memoirs of a Graduate
Student, Part One?"
- Accurate, but kinda boring.
- Oh.
How about, "That's My Story,
and I'm Sticking To It?"
A little defensive.
Yeah, I have that problem.
"A Novel Approach to Writing Your Life."
That's good.
Or "A Novel Approach to Self."
That is not bad.
- You have hidden depths.
- Yeah,
well, I have to blend in
due to the sensitive nature of my work.
Are you a spy?
Okay, we prefer to use
the term "operative,"
but I think I've said too much already.
You know what, I've always
said that Chesapeake Shores
was a hotbed of international intrigue,
but nobody ever believed me.
Yes, you know, this place is
actually an information drop
for the KGB.
That explains why Sally is so elusive.
But I thought the KGB was no more?
You know too much.
Give me your number in case
I have to tap your phone.
Fun.
Well, this conversation never happened.
What conversation?
And they didn't tell you anything more?
Nope, but I think I'm being spied on.
What makes you think that?
One of the paralegals told me.
Well, she implied it.
I think she was saying I don't
know what she was saying,
She can kind of be a confusing person.
But she's trying to help you?
She is.
I have calls into other builders
who worked with Dilpher in the past.
I asked them to pull up old contracts
to see if they notice any discrepancies.
People will just go
and pull files for you?
Not for me. They're
doing it for you, Dad.
Mick O'Brien's reputation is gold.
Used to be.
Now I'm being sued for
criminal negligence.
We're going to figure this out.
If Dilpher did this to you,
he probably did it to other builders.
Now, we only have two
days until the deposition,
which doesn't give us
much time to prepare.
Well, we'd better get to it.
They should know better than
to mess with the O'Briens.
- David, this is so good.
- Thank you.
You know, I made this at the firehouse.
That was this?
There's no way you gave
me the same recipe.
Yeah, I may have left
out a couple ingredients.
I knew it.
I kind of feel sorry for him.
What? Oh, no, he's fine.
I bet he loves some alone time.
He's around people all day.
Hmm, I don't know.
Hey, I'm sorry to interrupt.
I just wanted to say my
compliments to the chef.
- Do you want to join us?
- Oh, no, no,
I wouldn't want to intrude.
Okay.
Well, if you insist. Okay.
Hi! I am Evan.
Hey. Kevin O'Brien.
This is my wife, Sarah.
- Hi.
- Hi. Wow, another O'Brien.
- How many of you are there?
- There's a few more of us.
Amazing.
So, Kevin, what are your interests?
I'm sorry.
Is this okay?
Yeah. Yes, it is.
Hey, I saw you this morning,
coming out of Dr. Baum's office.
Do you have news?
No, no, it's just a check-up.
Oh.
Excuse me for just a second.
Okay, so, suppose I was choking,
could you Heimlich me?
We don't really call it that
anymore, but yeah, sure.
Do you ever just turn
the sirens on for fun?
- We're not supposed to
- I'll be right back.
Okay.
- Sarah
- Yeah?
I'm sorry if I upset you.
No, I'm fine, really.
What is it?
I did go see Dr. Baum today
and he said that I have endometriosis,
and I might not be able to get pregnant.
Sarah, I'm so sorry.
I haven't even worked up the nerve
to tell Kevin about it yet.
My brother married
you for a good reason.
He thinks you're perfect.
I'm not perfect.
But you're perfect for him.
You guys are going to
be amazing parents.
One way or another,
you're going to find a way
to fill your arms with babies.
I hope you're right.
Yeah.
Thank you.
That was fun.
Evan's a piece of work, huh?
I kinda like him.
Yeah.
Kevin and Sarah are
trying to have a baby.
Oh, nice.
I remember them saying that
they wanted a lot of kids.
But Sarah told me
she might have trouble conceiving.
That's tough.
It's not the end of the
world, though, is it,
to not be able to have a baby?
No, I guess not.
It's sad, though.
Mm.
- What smells so good?
- I'm making me casserole.
- Your special casserole?
- Uh-huh.
For who?
Do you really want Arthur
Driscoll to be sitting down
and talking with you?
- I do.
- Uh-huh, well then,
this casserole is for him.
Hmm. Thank you.
Hey, did you get my text?
Yeah, I'm intrigued.
So they found these on
the hotel building site?
Mm-hmm, they were digging the
underground parking structure,
and found these in the soil.
Whoa
Wow, this is so cool.
I guess we should call somebody.
I already did. There's an archeologist
from the Smithsonian coming down.
They look Colonial.
Okay, look at this fork,
and look at this fork.
Three, or what, 400 years have passed,
and the only real change is
four tines instead of three?
History is fascinating, don't you think?
It was not my favorite subject.
Listen, you realize that this
could cause a work stoppage
- if they find something significant.
- Yeah.
It's no big deal.
It's part of the fun of building stuff.
Heck, on one of my construction
sites in Scotland,
they found a 1000-year-old skeleton.
Really?
- Evan's now in a museum in Edinburgh.
- You called it "Evan"?
It wasn't my idea,
but I paid for the excavation,
and the museum decided
to name it after me,
but you know what the best thing
about Evan the Skeleton is?
I'm sure you're going to tell me.
He has a nice face.
Now, don't take it
personally if he's rude.
He is a little cranky.
Oh, ho, ho, I remember.
- Who's there?
- It's me again!
Megan O'Brien!
What is wrong with you?
Can't you take a hint?
Well, I brought someone
that you might remember.
Nell O'Brien, as I live and breathe.
Hello, Arthur Driscoll.
I've brought you a casserole.
This is delicious.
Reminds me of the old days.
Sure now, what brought
you back here, Arthur?
I spent a thousand hours
sitting on the shore here,
reading and sketching.
- Closest I came to happiness.
- I, um
I'm so sorry that I did
not stay in touch with you
- after Elaine died.
- Oh, I lost contact with everyone.
Elaine was my contact.
How's Charlie?
Charlie passed on a long time ago.
Oh, I'm sorry.
There are so few people around
who remember the old days anymore.
Oh, and do you remember that
precious one-room school house
- on Norton Point Road?
- I think I did a painting of that.
What?
Oh
Arthur
Here it is.
Arthur
Oh. Oh
Well, you you captured it,
- perfectly.
- Ah, it's okay.
- No
- You can have it.
- What?
- She can?
Sure. I don't want it.
I haven't painted or
drawn anything for years.
The man who made them
seems like an entirely different person.
Well, I will I will treasure this.
Thank you, Arthur.
Come on, it's you and me, kid.
Okay, let's do it.
Female, early 20s,
she has collapsed at
Chesapeake Shores Library.
Reportedly in and out of consciousness.
You are okay. We're taking you
to the Emergency room right now.
We're here to help. Now, Miss, are
you allergic to any medication?
Miss are you allergic
to any medication?
- I don't think so.
- Okay.
Are you on any medication right now?
Antibiotics for an ear infection.
It's in my book bag.
Point three milliliters epinephrine
right now, Captain.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,
what are you doing?
- What?
- I said .3 milliliters, not .6!
What?
Remember every year
when we used to go to Aunt
Casey's house for Easter,
and she would have those pretty baskets
with the chocolate bunnies, and
the eggs, and the jelly beans?
Hello, Jess. I'm fine, how are you?
My point is, aunts are important.
You should never underestimate
the power of aunts.
Yes.
What is happening right now?
How am I supposed to be a mother?
Well, um you give birth.
No, seriously.
I have no idea how to be a mom.
My mother wasn't around to
teach me basic mothering stuff.
Well, you had Gran,
and Abby, and me-ish?
But not my mom.
How am I supposed to know
how to teach them right from wrong,
or remember to stand up straight,
or send thank you notes?
You just do that stuff,
and you just love your kids, Jess.
You have so much love to go around.
You'll don't have to worry about this.
I don't know.
You don't know what?
If I want to have kids.
Is that a terrible thing to say?
No.
No, no, if
If you don't want kids, that's fine.
But what if David wants to?
Oh.
You haven't talked about that?
Not really.
I guess we should, before we
I-I think you should.
Kevin
He could have killed that girl.
Yeah.
What are you going to do?
I have to report it.
I can't cover for him.
I know. Did you talk to him about it?
I tried to.
You owe it to him.
Hey, Captain, you home?
Captain! You here?
It's Kev.
Welcome to my world.
Sorry, just the door was open.
Do you know that out of everybody
at he station-house,
you're the only one that noticed?
Or the only one who said something.
I wasn't trying to pry.
It started about four months ago.
Little things.
Forgetting people's names,
where I left my car.
Then I'd get better.
I thought it was a passing
thing, you know?
Then it would come back worse.
The forgetfulness, the confusion.
What can I do to help?
I appreciate that,
but I'm seeing my doctor tomorrow.
I was a stubborn fool, putting it off,
not wanting to know the truth.
I see.
I mean, I thought I
could stay on the job
until I couldn't hide it anymore.
Then I almost killed that woman.
If you hadn't been there
You know, Captain,
if this was any other kind
of job, maybe you could
But it's isn't, is it?
It's life and death, every day.
I tell you, I've been at
this job for over 30 years.
It's really hard to let it go.
I'm so sorry.
I'm going to step down.
- I, uh
- I'll do it soon
and I won't go on any more rides,
so you don't have to worry.
I kind of can't help but worry.
- Hey.
- Hey, just left a little something
- in my desk.
- Did you lock it?
Sure did.
Thanks for driving.
Mandrake hates to take
days off, but I insist.
This is your bungalow?
Yeah.
Hey, you want to come
in, have some dinner?
I'm sure there's a kitchen
and food in there somewhere.
Next to your indoor swimming pool?
No, no, that is around back.
I have to get home,
but you give me a call
if you get lost in there.
Will do!
Hey, what did you want to talk about?
Well, I went to see Dr. Baum
and he said I might have
trouble getting pregnant.
Oh.
Endometriosis.
Hey, hey, honey we'll be okay.
- No, but, Kevin, we want a family
- And we'll have one.
If it comes down to it, we could adopt.
As long as we have each other,
nothing else matters.
I'm going to go for a swim.
- Oh!
- Big race in two days.
But it's the middle of the dinner rush.
I could use some help.
It's winding down.
I'm sure you can handle it.
Yeah, I know, I'm sure I can,
- but I'd appreciate it if you would
- Why are you yelling at me?
I'm not yelling at you.
I've never yelled at
you in my entire life.
What's wrong?
Why are you marrying me?
Um
Because you're awesome
and I love you.
Don't you think it's irresponsible
to jump into a marriage
for reasons like that?
Okay
what's going on?
Talk to me.
I think you should know that I
might not be a very good mother.
Okay, well, I think that you
might be wrong about that.
I just want you to be fully
I want you to be aware
I'm saying that I wouldn't blame you
Do you understand?
No, not really. What are you saying?
That you're not going
to be a good mother
to the children that
we don't even have yet?
Exactly.
What if I don't know what I'm doing,
as a parent?
But that's the whole point.
Nobody knows what they're doing.
You figure it out,
and whatever happens, we do together.
It's not like anything is all on you.
But what if don't
What if I don't want kids?
Um
You don't?
I don't know.
But what if I don't?
Would you still want to marry me?
You didn't answer.
No, I didn't.
When is Dad going to call that lawyer?
I don't know, but he's saying
he wants to do it himself,
- which scares me.
- Hey, David.
Would you make that delicious
eggs Benny with crab meat
for brunch instead of breakfast?
- I can make it happen.
- Yeah.
You're a good man.
I'll be out on the porch
if anyone wants to join me
in a game of backgammon.
Ah, you're ready to take on
the Backgammon Master, huh?
One question before we start
how do you play this game?
Why are you here?
- What do you mean?
- I mean, you bought a giant bungalow
that has an indoor swimming pool,
and probably a tennis
court and a bowling alley.
But only duck pin.
Again, why are you here?
I like it here.
I like the people, I like the activity.
There's always something
going around here.
My place is so quiet.
Lonely?
I had dinner with Jess and
David, and Kevin and Sarah.
No, I I crashed their
dinner, I guess, yeah.
But I had a great time, you know?
They were so much fun, and
they knew each other so well.
It was like
Family?
Yeah.
I never really had that.
Oh. I'm sorry.
Don't be.
It made me who I am today.
All right. Backgammon
Take the little dice,
and put it in the little cup.
I am all ears.
Well, we're ready to begin.
Is your lawyer going to be
gracing us with his presence?
I'll be representing myself.
How nice.
Hello, everyone.
Connor there's no
reason for you to be here.
Oh, don't mind me, I'm just observing.
- Connor
- If Mr. O'Brien wants to observe,
let him observe.
Mr. O'Brien, we want you to understand
that Paul Dilpher respects you,
and he wants to come to an
agreement that can end quickly.
There's no point going down a
hard and difficult road here.
And what does this agreement
look like? Because right now,
it looks to me like I'm being
set up to be the fall guy
for Paul Dilpher.
It's not personal, Mick.
- It's just business.
- Oh, it's very personal.
You're trying to destroy
me and my reputation.
Mr. O'Brien, just hear us out.
No, you hear me out.
I have proof
that several of the contracts
Mr. Dilpher claims I signed
are, in fact, forgeries.
Consequently, I'm going
to make you an offer.
Wonderful. Um, let's get to it.
It's a one-time-only offer,
and it expires in five minutes.
We're all ears.
I will walk away from all of this
if Mr. Dilpher will sign
a document right now
stating that he lied
about my involvement,
and if he apologizes
profusely and publicly
for implicating me in
his illegal transactions.
We thought you were
coming to your senses.
This is Leonard Shakley and Associates,
builders in California.
This is Gross and Madden,
builders in Wisconsin.
Smith and Sons, Oregon.
It seems they, too, found discrepancies
in Mr. Dilpher's contracts.
That's very interesting, but
I have some documents here, too.
A personal communication
between your children,
Mr. Connor O'Brien and
Mrs. Abby O'Brien-Winters.
In it, they claim that they believe
their father is not innocent.
You have no right to go through
my personal correspondence
and steal documents.
I knew you would speak up eventually.
Anything written on company time
is a work product.
This was found in the garbage here.
Linda, that was locked in my desk.
We'll have to agree to
disagree on that one.
"Abby, I'm so worried about Dad.
Who knows what he knew
or when he knew it?
I feel like he should
just take responsibility
for anything he was a part of.
After all,
he was the one who raised
us to tell the truth."
Wait
what's on the second
page of that letter?
The second page?
That's right.
Because, as I said, that
was locked in my desk,
and it was a first draft
on the firm's stationary
that I notarized and mailed to myself
here at the firm.
"I feel it is his duty
to tell the truth
about who ate Gran's coffee cake.
We all deserved to enjoy it,
and he selfishly ate
more than his share,
leaving just crumbs. Connor."
I'm sorry, Connor, I just
I just can't resist Mom's coffee cake.
I find it shocking that people who
are supposed to be my colleagues
would go through my
personal correspondence.
I have no choice but to offer
my resignation immediately,
which I happen to have on me.
I quit.
These documents prove
that Dilpher forged
Mr. O'Brien's signature
on 24 separate contracts,
and this letter proves
that this law firm
spied on a junior associate
in an attempt to get
intel on his family.
You should be ashamed of yourselves.
I'll be reporting this
to the Bar Association.
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
That's my son, the lawyer.
- Well, we did it.
- Yes, we did.
I'm very proud of you, Connor.
That was a brave thing you did,
quitting your job like that.
I don't know. I couldn't
have kept working here.
What are you going to do now?
I hadn't really thought about it.
Except I'm done working
for big law firms.
I want to practice law,
that's why I became a lawyer.
- Then why don't you?
- What am I going to do,
hang up my shingle in Chesapeake Shores?
Connor O'Brien, attorney-at-law?
Sure. Why not?
We just wanted a second opinion.
Which is very wise,
and I have to tell you,
the news is not that bad.
But I do have endometriosis,
and I read something like
40% percent of women
with endometriosis have
problems conceiving?
For every bit of real information
you can find on the Internet,
you can also get led down a
rabbit hole of misinformation
and doom and gloom.
That's what I warned you about.
You did it, too.
- I know, but
- Everybody does it.
Just don't believe the worst.
Now, how long have you been trying?
A couple months.
I say you give it at least six months
before we consider other options.
That shouldn't be too hard, should it?
No.
What other options?
Well, we could consider IUI,
intrauterine insemination,
or we may have to use surgery to
remove the endometrial growths,
but let's just focus on the now.
And remember,
many women who have your condition
are able to have healthy,
full-term babies. Don't worry.
The bottom line is, we're
going to get through it,
and I'm going to be with
you every step of the way.
- I know, but
- But what?
- This isn't me, I'm not a worrier.
- So?
So why am I so worried about this?
I mean, I run into burning buildings
without giving it a second
thought, but this?
This just stresses me out.
Because you can't control it.
I promise you, Sarah, we're
going to get through this.
- Hey.
- Hey.
I'm sorry about what I said yesterday.
Did you mean it?
I don't know.
I'm not sure.
Look, I'm not sure either,
but I know I want to be with you
and
I'd like to have kids.
But if you don't want to, then
I guess I'm just going to
have to deal with that.
I love you,
and I'm not saying
I definitely don't want kids.
I'm just saying the idea
scares the heck out of me.
Yeah, well, it is it's pretty scary.
Yeah.
Hey.
I'll see you at the finish line, Mom.
May the best woman win, darling.
All right, guys. Keep the pace,
we can win this thing.
And remember, it's not about winning.
It's about taking part.
Good one.
You're funny.
We're O'Briens, it's all about winning.
See ya out there.
- Okay.
- We've gotta beat them.
Good luck, girls!
Go, go, go!
Roll in, everybody.
And now, I'd like to present
our beloved Fire Captain, Roger Gahagan.
Come on up here, Roger!
Thank you.
Well, thank you very much.
We raised enough money for
a brand-new fire truck.
Yeah!
Yes. Isn't that fantastic?
And since we have a new fire truck
I think it's time we had a new Captain.
That's right, I'm stepping down.
Retiring.
I think, uh
I think it's time to take
it easy for a while.
Thank you to everyone.
It's been a great ride.
Thank you, everybody.
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
I love you.
So I said, you tell me.
All right, everybody,
I'd like to make a toast
to all of these fine
athletes here today.
- Cheers!
- Well done.
Especially to Mom.
You really brought it.
Thank you, son, and I also
brought Epsom Salts.
I am soaking in a hot tub
tonight. Everything hurts.
I'd also like to make another toast
- to Connor and Abby.
- Yes.
The Dilpher case against
me has been dropped,
and criminal charges are being
been brought against Paul Dilpher
- as we speak.
- Hear, hear!
- All right.
- Cheers.
Well, we knew it would work out, Dad.
Not without you guys.
I've also made a very important decision
- regarding the wedding.
- Oh, you don't want any gifts?
No, I want gifts. Lots of gifts.
- That's not it.
- Got it.
I would like Abby to be my Maid of Honor
and Bree, to officiate.
I'd be honored.
Didn't you marry Brian
and Scott back in Chicago?
I did, yeah, but I'm not
registered here in Maryland.
Oh, wait. Wait, wait.
I can help with that.
Click there.
Okay.
And now you are,
and you owe me $50.
Put it on my tab.
I'm never gonna see that.
This is going to be great!
Wait, if I'm your Maid of Honor,
does that mean I get to throw
you a Bachelorette Party?
Uh-oh. Should I be worried?
Very worried.
