[cheerful music playing]
-[Sugar huffs] -Easy, there.
Easy, there.
Is that me or the horse? [giggles]
Oh, it's definitely not you.
Better not be.
[Hope] Save it for the altar.
Glad to see you two have the first kiss worked out.
And glad to see Sugar seems to be doing better.
Hi! But no time for pleasantries.
We have a lot of wedding details to lock down.
Okay, that's why we're here.
You guys should know Hope is taking her officiant duties very seriously.
She had me make a three-ring binder.
What? It's my job to make sure this wedding goes off without a hitch.
Well, one hitch.
'Cause they're getting hitched.
Never mind, I'll just take notes.
Well, the roof is done. Barn's almost wedding-ready.
Mm-hm. Except it's, uh, now doubling as a horse hotel.
Are you close to finding Sugar a forever home?
I'm on it. Sugar will have a new home in time for your wedding day.
But I don't think the barn is going to be big enough
to host the whole town, so I'm thinking massive reception tent.
[exclaims] Oh, look. The binder has visuals.
Well, I just want us all on the same page.
That's, like, 70 pages.
And when you say the whole town--
Oh, she means it. Hope didn't want anyone to feel left out.
This is the event of the year, Mel. After the fire, the town needs this.
It's basically our royal wedding.
Well, I… [sighs] That's really sweet.
I mean, we did say we wanted the town there. [laughs]
Yeah, but…
It's just… You know, it's a lot to accommodate.
The sewing circle has agreed to help expand the scope of the event.
We have a lot of ideas. You two need to focus on the ceremony.
-Right, right. -Oh!
Yeah, uh, but I'm not 100% sure I want to do, like, a formal Marine wedding.
It does look cool.
Well, I don't care one way or the other, but you need to make a decision.
Mel, did you want your dad to be part of the wedding?
Well, I… I haven't decided on that yet.
Programs go to the printer in two days. We got a lot to do, folks.
I promise that we'll have all the answers that you need
before the programs go to printers.
Yeah, we just… There's been a lot going on.
Speaking of, I gotta stop by the bar on my way to the courthouse.
-We'll finish up here. -Okay.
I'll see you later at the courthouse. Don't worry, Jack.
The jury will find him not guilty. I know it in my bones.
Thanks.
Okay, next up. How do you feel about multiple chocolate fountains?
-[car door closes] -Oh.
Wow.
-[laughs] -[engine starting]
What do you mean he's not taking the deal?
He lied to his best friend about where he was at the time of the murder.
That's consciousness of guilt that proves that he did it.
All it proves is that you play dirty.
Look, Brie, this is gonna come down to character,
and, so far, your client's character is in question.
Well, it won't be after I put him on the stand.
You can't be serious.
I'll bet on the jury. So will my client.
-Then you're digging his grave. -[scoffs]
Make sure you ask him for some tips.
Ah…
[door opens and shuts]
I still can't believe that Muriel canceled her date with Walt Booth.
Well, she said she got a migraine.
I think she's not over Cameron.
Well, she should still give it a go.
I agree. Everyone knows the best way to get over someone is to get under--
-[Jack] Morning, ladies. -Good morning.
I wasn't gossiping, you were.
-[Connie] Hello. -Okay.
-Uh, well then, carry on. -[laughs softly]
-I thought you'd be in court. -Yeah, I'm on my way.
I just gotta get some bills I forgot to mail.
I can do it. It's all hands on deck till Preach is back, and I got time.
There's nothing exciting on tap. Just the June Lake hazy IPA.
Uh, there's one exciting thing.
[sweet music playing]
[gasps]
Ricky.
I'm home.
[uplifting music playing]
Oh, Grandma, when'd you get so strong?
Well, you're not the only one who's been training, dear.
Connie and I have been taking a silver sneakers step class.
-[both chuckling] -[Ricky] I really missed you.
Why didn't you tell me you were coming home?
I wanted to surprise you.
Well, at my age, surprises can be risky.
[both laughing]
Look at you.
[chuckles softly]
The uniform suits you.
-Thank you, sir. -Come on. I'm a civilian now. Cut it out.
[Ricky laughing]
Would you like something to drink?
I can get Hannah to make you a root beer float.
[laughing incredulously] I can't believe you're here.
[exclaiming] I can't…
I'm not really a root beer float kinda guy anymore.
-But I don't have the heart to tell her. -Ah…
So how was boot camp?
[sighs] Went well.
As well as getting your ass kicked and you're free will stripped can go.
Right? Well, congrats on making it through, bud.
Thanks. Um…
Thanks for the wedding invitation.
-I really wish I could come. -No, look.
I mean, we didn't know if you could, but we just wanted to make sure that,
you know, you knew that we'd love to have you.
I… I appreciate it.
I'm actually shipping out in two weeks.
-What, you're being deployed? -What?
Where to?
Somewhere in the Middle East.
Uh, some guys think it's Syria, but we don't know for sure.
Ricky…
So how do you, um… You know, how do you feel about that?
It's the job.
All right. Well, look, I gotta go.
If you want to come by the farm later, I'm gonna be there working.
After 5:00, we could talk.
Thanks, but it's okay. Really.
Okay. Well, welcome home.
Thank you.
How are your vows coming along?
Slowly but surely.
Why slowly?
Oh, you know, not to place blame or anything, but, uh…
treating your heart condition has kind of cut into my me time.
[both laughing]
You have your mother's sense of humor, you know that?
No…
I don't remember her sense of humor.
I mostly remember her being sick.
Well, she was funny.
Made me laugh like no other.
Thank you for telling me more about her.
Really means a lot.
So, how did you find her after you two got separated at the march?
I didn't. She found me.
She never told me her last name,
but we told each other we'd meet back here one day, so…
I came back and waited.
[chuckles]
One of the good things about being a musician is what I lacked in money,
I made up for with time.
The day she finally came back was the second-best day of my entire life.
The first being the day I met her.
Well, why didn't you stay together?
[exhales] Which time?
Life pulled us apart a lot over the years.
We always found our way back together.
And after she married your dad…
I thought it was over for good.
Then one day, there she was again.
-[wistful guitar melody playing] -Right over there, matter of fact.
[Everett] ♪ When we broke down We camped by the creek ♪
♪ Played my guitar, she listened to me ♪
♪ That was the first night of my life ♪
♪ Someone could see this heart of mine ♪
[Sarah] Sounds like a love song.
Who's it about?
Uh…
That is for me to know.
Well, I mean, have you finished it already?
-It's taking you long enough. -[laughs]
What are you doing here?
[voice breaking] Looking for you.
-[Sarah crying softly] -Hey.
[Mel] Did she know you were still here?
Yeah, she did.
She'd just lost Chloe, and she and your dad were having a hard moment.
-She needed you. -She was broken.
So was I, actually.
We helped each other heal.
Out of that came you.
[sighs]
Why did she go back to my dad if she still loved you?
It was complicated.
They'd been through so much, she…
She didn't want to throw it all away.
Did he know that he wasn't my biological father?
Yes, he did.
But he loved your mother enough to forgive her and start again.
I loved her enough to let you both go.
Giving you away…
knowing I'd miss out on
all the moments of your life…
your first words,
first day of school, first love…
It's the hardest thing I've ever done.
[sighs]
[introspective music playing]
-[Muriel clears throat] -Good morning.
Well, good morning, you two.
Denny here is gonna observe today.
He's gonna get an overview of what goes on here before he starts.
But I want him to see firsthand that general medicine
can be just as exciting as a day in the ER.
Now, what is on our schedule today?
Let me just check that out for you.
So, to start, we have Mr. Marks.
His, uh, irritable bowel has been acting up.
Next, we have Florence Denning. She's complaining of a heat rash.
And then there's Charlie, who has an aggressive case of folliculitis.
Oh, that sounds interesting. What's folliculitis again?
Uh, it's an infected hair follicle.
Uh, but sometimes it can be a symptom of a larger, more systemic issue.
See, being a good GP, you gotta be part doctor, part detective.
Now, let me check with the first patients,
make sure they're okay with you sitting in.
[Denny] Great.
-You all ready? -Yeah, I think so.
[Lizzie] So, on your way to the courthouse,
you have calls with Bert to finalize concessions for the drive-in--
[Hope] Bert?
Yeah, he's head of the film society. And then you have a call with the county
to discuss the environmental impact of releasing those animals during the fire.
I am going to need all the coffee in the truck for this day.
Do you want the Lizzie special?
You're the best.
Remember that when my salary comes up at the town council meeting.
[Hope chuckling]
[Lizzie grunts]
Ricky! What on earth?
-[Ricky] Hey. -Oh! [laughing]
I was, uh… I was just hoping to find, uh, Lizzie.
Ricky! Hi!
Figured you might be working here.
Actually, I don't work here anymore.
She works for me now.
So, what are you doing back there?
I was really only gone for five minutes, Lizzie.
And I was just gonna make the mayor the Lizzie special.
Well, I got good at making that one.
Then I will get out of your way. [laughs]
Wow! Um…
Grandma did not mention this.
Uh, congratulations?
Yes, congratulations.
And thank you.
Wow! So you got ripped. [laughs]
And you, uh… We already covered that.
Man, we stop writing for a few months, and now…
You're both busting out of your shirts.
I'll give you some privacy so you can catch up.
Thank you.
I can't stop thinking about your mom.
Is not something you want to hear your boyfriend say.
-[both chuckle] -Come on, Lark, I'm serious.
There's gotta be something we can do to help her, you know?
There isn't. She just needs to figure out a way to get treatment.
Yeah, well, maybe I can help with that.
Dialysis can't be that expensive.
Yes, it can. I won't let you even consider it.
-You have your dream with the garage-- -How much?
-Brady, stop. -Come on, I want to help.
How much?
It's $120,000.
Wow! That's, uh…
-That's a lot. -Like I said, it's too much.
Hey.
Let me be the judge of that, okay?
Brady! We got a 1033 call.
Code 901. Come on.
Go. Be all you can be.
That's Army. I was a Marine.
-What's yours again? -Oorah!
[chuckles]
I'm sorry I stopped writing.
It's okay.
I mean, I was sad at first, but I know you had a lot going on.
Yeah.
So did you, clearly.
It's not that I didn't want to talk to you.
I did.
I just…
thought it might be easier if I
just let go of my old life so I could commit to this one.
I get it.
Hard to move forward when you're still looking back.
Yeah.
When'd you get so wise?
I don't know.
Well, it's a good thing I did, because I'm about to be a mom.
[both chuckle]
That's crazy. Never would have thought that.
What does that mean?
Nothing. I just never thought you wanted to be a mom.
Eventually, maybe, but not this soon.
You know, life as you know it, it's… it's gonna be over, forever.
Wow, Ricky, uh…
I'm having a baby, not a funeral.
And I'm okay with adulting.
I'm excited, actually. Being a mom is gonna be great, and I…
I don't need to justify it to you.
No, you don't.
-[phone chiming] -Um…
I gotta run. I'm sorry.
-I'm sorry for upsetting you. -I'm not upset. Just busy adulting.
-It's good to see you. -Yeah.
[bittersweet music playing]
[sighs]
[exhales]
I… I just hate to say this, Charlie, but…
due to the recurrence of your folliculitis,
I think it is being caused by something more
than the chafing from your airplane seat.
Well, just… just give it to me straight, Doc.
I think… you are suffering from chronic vitamin A or vitamin C deficiency.
Now, lack of vitamin A can cause the skin to show hyperkeratosis,
dryness, and generalized wrinkling.
And vitamin C deprivation can cause follicular hyperkeratosis.
Now, we can run some more conclusive tests, but…
But?
What do you mean, but?
I can't, Doc.
-Sure, you can do it. Come on. You just… -[laughing] I can't. I just can't…
[both laughing]
I'm sorry! I just…
-Wow, putting on a show for me. -[both laughing]
Okay, guys.
Sorry. I just… I just didn't want you to think
small-town medicine was boring, that's all.
[chuckling] Thanks for playing along, Charlie, or trying to.
-Yeah. -Yeah.
-[phone ringing] -Uh…
I'll get you some cream for your rash.
Dr. Mullins.
Yes. Okay.
We're on our way. Yes.
There is an emergency.
-A real one, I promise. You want to come? -[both] Yes.
Oh, you didn't mean me, did you?
-[Doc] Come on. -[Denny] Okay. Bye, Charlie.
[Charlie] Yeah.
Muriel, cancel my afternoon.
Denny and I have to help a boy who fell into a sinkhole.
-I'll pull your truck around. Thank you. -[Doc] Okay.
Wait, wait, why do you seem so excited over such a catastrophic event?
I am not excited.
I am, however, optimistic that this is a very teachable moment for my grandson.
-Okay. -Hi.
-What are you so excited about? -[cheerfully] I am not excited!
-[laughs] -Mel, what are you doing here?
I wasn't expecting you in. I thought you were wedding planning.
I am. I mean, we are. I just…
I have a patient that needed a quick checkup,
so I'm waiting for her to drive in.
Well, maybe while you're waiting,
do think you might be able to make room for one more?
[soft indistinct chatter]
-I miss anything? -No, no. They're just getting started.
[judge] Ms. Sheridan.
-Please call your next witness. -[Preacher] Yeah.
The defense would like to call John Middleton to the stand.
[somber music playing]
-[siren wailing faintly] -[fire engine horn blaring]
Brady? Hey!
-Frank. You all right? -My nephew's down there.
What? Don't worry. We'll get Jake out.
If we drop a ladder in there, you think he could climb up?
I can't see him or hear him. I don't know how deep it goes.
I don't know if he's okay.
Right, so we get a harness, and a rope bag, and I'm gonna go in.
-This sinkhole doesn't look sturdy, Roy. -Besides, you're filling in for Chief.
Let me go in.
Rookie, you have no idea what you're doing.
I've done three tours in Iraq.
I'm pretty sure I can handle a sinkhole. Besides, the kid knows me.
-All right. Harness him up. -[man] I'm on it.
Mr. Middleton,
why don't you tell the jury in your own words what really happened?
I buried Wes's body in the woods.
[Brie] So you admit to that?
Yes.
Do you also admit to killing him?
No, absolutely not.
He was dead when I got to Paige's house. She told me it was an accident.
-And you believed her? -Yes.
He fell down the stairs.
Okay. So if you thought it was an accident,
when you saw that Wes was dead, why didn't you call the police?
Because Wes was the police.
Paige told me that he had abused her for years
and convinced his fellow officers that
she wasn't the victim.
He was.
No one would ever believe her.
That's why she ran in the first place.
So, what you're saying is Paige still thought she was in danger.
That's right.
The police, who were sworn to protect her, didn't.
So she called me.
Now, I made a vow when I became a Marine
to protect American citizens from enemies foreign and domestic.
And I honored it that night.
If that makes me a criminal… then so be it.
I think that makes you a hero.
-Objection! -[Brie] Withdrawn.
That'll be for the jury to decide.
No further questions, Your Honor.
[Brady] Okay, I'm good.
Down. Down.
-That's it. -[tense music playing]
That's it, steady.
-[Doc] How long has he been down there? -A couple hours.
But we should have him out soon.
[Doc sighs] Whoa.
[Brady] Okay, lower.
-That's it. -[tense music continues]
Hey, Jake?
Jake, you down here?
-[Jake weakly] I'm here. -A few more feet!
Jake?
Almost there.
Okay, you're good.
Hey.
Hey, buddy.
It's Brady. Remember me?
-[Jake weakly] Yeah. -From the camps?
-You all right? -[Jake] No.
[Brady] What's wrong?
-[whimpers] -[Brady] Your arm? Okay.
All right. Don't worry. You're gonna be fine.
-We're gonna get you out of here. -[dramatic music playing]
One, two, three.
-Clear to hoist! -[winch winding]
Little more.
Easy.
-[rumbling] -[Jake yelps]
-[rocks tumbling] -[Brady] It's all right.
Get us out of here!
[dramatic music fades]
I just figured better safe than sorry.
Yeah, of course.
-It can't hurt to check. -[sighs deeply]
-Okay, this is gonna be a bit cold. -[device beeps]
Sorry.
Do you have any family history of breast cancer?
No.
What is it?
-It could be nothing. -[device beeps]
But, um, I'd like you to schedule a quick biopsy in Clear River.
Just to be safe, like you said.
A biopsy isn't nothing.
I guess it's a good thing I canceled my date.
Not exactly a great time for starting something new, is it?
Muriel…
no matter what happens with the biopsy,
don't let that stop you from living your life.
But what if it is cancer?
Then we'll beat it.
Yeah.
[Muriel sighs heavily]
Get him out of there now before the whole thing collapses.
-[man] Come on up. Whoa, whoa, whoa. -[Brady] Pull.
That's it. Easy. Okay.
Okay. On the count of three. One, two, three, go.
-[man] Easy. Got him. -[Brady] He hurt his right arm real bad.
[Doc] Get him over here on the backboard. That's it. Here we go. Come on.
-[man] Easy. -[Doc] There you go.
That's it. All right.
[man] I got his head.
[Doc] Broke his arm in the fall. That'll be easy enough to set.
Yeah, his pulse is faint.
He's hypothermic from all that cold water down there.
I need a thermal blanket on him
and anything you guys can find to get him warm!
Let's get him in my trailer. I got a space heater.
-[Doc] Into the trailer. -[Brady] You heard Doc. On three. Ready?
One, two, up!
Come on. I'll show you how to set his arm.
[Denny] Okay.
[line ringing]
[Mel sighs]
-[Jack on phone] Hey. -Hey, babe.
-How's it going over there? -[Jack] Well, we…
We're just on a brief recess.
Brie just finished questioning Preacher.
It's hard to say, could go either way.
-How about you? How's your day going? -[Mel] Uh…
Up and down.
The up is I've decided to ask Everett to walk me down the aisle.
Wow, really?
Yeah, he said giving me away was the hardest thing he's ever done, so…
You want to make him do it again?
No, I want to reframe it in a positive light.
[laughs]
I just realized he's missed out on so many important moments in my life,
and I want him to be a part of this one.
-Now I just have to tell Doc. -Ooh.
-You're on your own for that one. -[laughs] Yeah, okay. Nice try, Sheridan.
I love you.
I love you too, almost-Sheridan.
[Calvin] Can't keep me away from my boy, Charmaine.
Actually, I have sole custody now, Calvin, so, yes, I can.
Hey, Charmaine.
Everything all right here?
-Everything's just fine, Jack. -Yeah, I was talking to Charmaine.
Well, it will be fine if he leaves me alone.
-Get ready for a fight. -[Jack] Hey, hey, hey.
I was talking to Charmaine.
-You okay? -[sighs]
Yeah. Um, thanks for that.
Are you… Are you here for Preacher's trial?
Yeah, yeah. What about you? What are you doing here?
Calvin's been overstepping with the twins,
and he keeps showing up out of nowhere, and so I…
I petitioned for sole custody. They granted it.
Oh, that's good news.
Yeah. I mean, as long as he stays away.
I guess this is what I get for sleeping with the enemy, huh?
No. No, come on, you…
You don't deserve to have to deal with this guy forever.
I'm really glad you're doing whatever it takes to protect yourself.
Thanks. Me too.
Jack. Jury's back in.
-I gotta go. -Yeah, yeah.
-Um, let me know how it goes, okay? -Yeah.
Ladies and gentlemen,
I don't envy your job today.
The power you wield is greater than that of any judge or lawyer,
because it is the power of justice itself.
Now, you heard the DA paint my client as
a broken Marine out for vigilante justice.
But as you saw, John "Preacher" Middleton
is a good man.
He's a good friend
who was trying to protect a survivor of domestic abuse
after she came to Virgin River to escape.
But trauma followed her,
as trauma at the hands of someone you love
often does.
And her attacker followed her too,
which is a disturbingly common occurrence in these cases.
And what came next…
was simply a tragic accident.
That is all.
There is nothing but circumstantial evidence
to suggest otherwise.
The facts are clear.
All John Middleton is guilty of
is trying to help end a cycle of abuse,
a cycle that would have separated an abused woman from her son,
and now… now threatens to put an honorable man in jail.
When will it stop?
That's up to you.
You have the power to end it right here
by finding my client not guilty.
That was so cool. Thanks for letting me tag along today.
Well, I know you're interested in working in the ER,
but I'm just glad you got a chance to see that this job can be exciting too.
This was exciting, but, honestly,
watching you work at the clinic was great too.
I mean, it's cool to show up and save the day,
but the way you show up for your patients day in and day out?
That's what makes you the kind of doctor I want to be.
Thank you.
There he is. Hey. Good job.
-You too, Doc. -Yeah. Thanks.
-Thanks, Dr. Mullins. -Yeah. Thank Brady. He's the man.
-No, it was a team effort. -[Doc] Yeah.
Well, Denny, we gotta get back to the clinic
before Muriel realizes she can run that place without us.
-[chuckling] See you. -Take care.
-[Denny] Bye. -See you.
Thank you.
I'm sorry to drag you out here. This was all my fault.
I'm not sure how a sinkhole could be your fault, Frank.
Not unless you're doing some fracking I don't know about.
We just had nowhere to go after the fire.
Hey.
You're doing your best, okay?
That's all that matters.
I guess.
Not everybody in the camps was as lucky as Lark.
How is she, by the way?
Jake misses Hazel.
-Does he? -Yeah.
Yeah, she's good. She's good.
It's tough right now with things with her mom, but…
-Her mom's sick. -Oh.
-Lark's mom is sick? -Yeah.
That's weird. I play cards with her every week.
And she drinks me under the table.
Seems fine to me.
[Brady] Huh.
[gentle music playing]
That's a boy.
Come on. Come on.
[clicks tongue] Good boy. Good boy.
There you go.
Hey, Ricky.
Jack, hey.
-What's going on? -Oh nothing.
[slurs] You said if I wanted to talk, you'd be here.
And I figured, you know, we could talk, so here I am.
You been drinking?
What? No. No, why… Why would you say that?
What's going on, Ricky?
Coffee should help.
Thanks.
[Jack] Yeah.
[grunts]
So, what were you thinking?
I thought we had the whole drinking and driving talk.
Since when were you a drinker anyway?
Since I found out I was getting deployed.
I've just been having a little bit here and there.
You know, just to take the edge off.
But when I saw Lizzie…
Ah…
I kind of went off the deep end.
You know, she's building this life here, and…
It made me think.
What if I don't get the chance to do that?
You know, what if I don't get to come home?
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
You cannot think like that.
You hear me?
All right? You have to believe in yourself and your fellow Marines.
And you're gonna talk to someone before you go off the deep end.
Okay?
Yeah. That's why I'm here.
[sighs] Jack, uh…
I'm scared.
I'm…
I'm really scared.
-[somber music playing] -[sighs]
You'd be a fool not to be.
I get it.
I felt the exact same way.
You were scared?
You? Jack Sheridan?
[laughs] Oh yeah.
Man, I was…
[exhales]
I was terrified.
I tried drinking, you know, make it all go away, but…
it didn't work.
Nothing did.
Then I realized a good Marine doesn't act in the absence of fear.
They act in the face of it.
So I did.
So will you.
-You make it sound easy. -[scoffs heartily]
Sorry to tell you, it's not, no.
It ain't easy.
It's tough.
It might be the toughest thing you ever have to do.
But I'll tell you something.
If I'm strong enough to face it…
so are you.
So are you.
[Brie sighing]
Ugh.
This waiting is the worst part.
-[phone chimes] -[Mike] It'll go your way.
Yeah? From your lips.
-[keypad clicking] -[Mike] It will.
-[Brie sighs] -You were a total rock star today.
Seeing you in action…
Was a turn-on?
[Mike chuckles]
-Not a turn-on? -No…
-I mean, yes, but… -[laughs]
Are you sure you want to do this right now?
This? Oh no, this? Oh…
Nope, I just slipped and fell onto your buttons.
-[laughs] -Right, okay.
Um…
I just… I just thought you might wanna talk.
About what?
When you were talking about Paige's trauma following her,
it was pretty obvious that you were, uh…
you were talking about yourself.
Hmm. Okay, um…
What part of me trying to seduce you
made you think I wanted to have a chat about my sexual assault?
I'm just trying to be supportive.
If you want to be supportive, maybe just help me feel normal.
-Wanted. -Okay.
You're right.
Okay, I'm sorry. Hey, hey, hey.
You're wanted.
Hey.
Yeah, it's okay.
Really. I should just get some rest.
Who knows what we're facing tomorrow, so…

Brie just texted.
-Is there a verdict? -She didn't say.
She just said to get to the courthouse ASAP.
[tense music playing]
[judge] Has the jury reached a verdict?
We're unable to reach a unanimous verdict. We're evenly split.
What does this mean?
A hung jury. Maybe a mistrial.
So the DA could try me again?
Not if I can help it.
Your Honor, may we sidebar?
Counselors.
I want this to end. Here and now.
So your client wants to plead to involuntary manslaughter?
With a six-to-six hung jury? Not a chance.
But I will give you illegal disposal of human remains.
He already admitted to it.
You get a conviction, he gets a misdemeanor
and a hundred hours of community service.
Three hundred hours.
Deal.
[exhales deeply]
Not to say I told you so, but I told you I'd be at your wedding.
-I never doubted you for a second. -Yeah, you did.
Yeah, I did. And I'm really, really glad that I was wrong, okay?
Ah! Brother.
Hang on a sec.
Hey, Mel? Can I just…
Hey. Yeah.
I just wanted to thank you again for the other day.
Oh my gosh, of course.
I took your advice and I scheduled a biopsy,
and I rescheduled my date with Walt Booth for tomorrow.
-Oh! -I know, right? And who knows?
If everything goes well, I just might let him get to second base.
Well, he's got to enjoy these while they last, right?
Oh, you're gonna be fine.
I'm really happy you haven't lost your sense of humor.
No. Nothing's gonna take that away.
[sighs] Thank you.
[Mel] Aw. Yeah.
Um, can you excuse me?
-Yeah, of course. -Thank you.
-Hey. -[Doc] Hey.
-[Doc clears throat] -How was your day?
Oh, it was pretty good.
Yeah? Um…
Can I just… Can I talk to you for a minute?
Well, the day's not over. It still could take a turn.
No, it's nothing bad.
It's, um… It's about my wedding.
So I've been thinking about it a lot, and I think…
Well, I… [clears throat] I was just…
I was wondering if…
if you wouldn't mind if Everett walks me down the aisle.
-Ah. -[somber music playing]
Ooh. Well, I, um…
kind of expected as much, but, uh…
I do understand.
Well, I know you understand, but do you mind?
You know, standing beside you for your big moment
is not as important to me as standing beside you for all the small ones.
But you better save me a dance.
-I will save you two. -[chuckling]
I… Also, I would love it if you would do a reading.
I have a special poem picked out.
Oh. Sounds lovely.
[Mel laughs]
Oh, and here she is.
-[Brie laughing] -[Preacher] Best lawyer in town.
-[all cheering and applauding] -[Jack] Whoo!
Yeah!
Hey.
[Preacher] You did it.
[Brady] All right.
Let's get you up.
[Hazel laughing]
Um, when will my mom be back from work?
Well, she should be here any minute.
In the meantime, do you want a Shirley Temple?
That depends. What is a Shirley Temple?
-You never had a Shirley Temple before? -No.
[gasps softly]
Let me show you. Do you like cherries?
-[Hazel] Yes. -Okay.
Hey.
Hey!
-[Brie] How you been? -Um…
I've been… I've been good.
It's, uh…
-It's been a minute. -Yeah.
Do you mind getting me a glass of white wine back there?
Well, um, technically I no longer work here, so…
Oh, I know.
I heard you went all Mission: Impossible into a sinkhole and saved a little kid.
I heard you went all To Kill a Mockingbird in the courtroom and saved Preach.
[Hazel] Um, sorry to interrupt,
but my Shirley Temple isn't gonna make itself.
[chuckles softly]
Well, I'll… I'll get right on that.
[laughs]
[country music playing on jukebox]
You've just gotta go smash and smash!
[both laughing]
[Ricky] Grandma, you have a good one.
See you.
[indistinct chatter]
Hey, Lydie.
Ricky doesn't seem scared about being deployed, but, uh…
I'm still scared for him.
We're all scared, Lydie.
But Ricky is coming home.
All right.
-[Lark] Nice shot. -Oh! Hello.
Hey. Congrats on the big win.
-Brady always said you were amazing. -[laughs]
Well, he's amazing too.
He really is.
You never should have let him go.
I mean, I…
I'm glad you did, so…
I guess I should say thank you.
You're welcome.
[awkward chuckling]
-Well, I should… -Yeah, me too.
-I'll have what she's having. -[chuckles] Hey.
-Plus vodka. -Okay.
-[country music continues on jukebox] -Thanks for picking up Hazel.
Yeah, no problem.
I feel like I've barely seen you in the last couple days.
Yeah, sorry about that.
It's okay.
How's your mom feeling?
Barely got out of bed today.
Maybe, uh…
Maybe we should go visit her, you know?
See if we can help.
I think we should get her started on her treatment first, see how it goes?
Yeah. Yeah, sure.
Whatever you say.
-Hi, darling. -Hey.
Everything okay?
Well…
Mel wants Everett to walk her down the aisle.
And you agreed.
What else am I supposed to say? I…
That you love her like a daughter.
And her asking you that so that Everett could take your place broke your heart.
[sighs heavily]
-Maybe that's a bit too far. -Yeah.
Hey!
At least she didn't ask you to do a reading.
[laughing]
[laughs] Oh, actually, she did.
[exclaims]
[Jack grunts]
-The deed is done. -Hmm?
I think Doc took it well.
What? You should've grabbed me. I was gonna help you break the news.
No, no, it's okay.
I mean, you know, you had a lot on your plate.
Yeah. I think I finally understand how my parents felt when I went to war.
And I can't help but think if it wasn't for me supporting him,
then Lydie wouldn't have to feel the same way too.
[Mel sighing] Mmm…
Do you regret supporting Ricky's decision to enlist?
I don't know.
I mean, it was hard seeing him drunk, you know?
I'm hoping for the best, but…
-[Preacher] Oorah! -Oorah.
[Preacher] Mm-mm! My man. Now, hear me out.
Now that I'm officially in the clear, I think it's time
that we throw you a bachelor…
And a bachelorette partay.
-No, no, no. -Oh, we didn't want a…
[Preacher] Come on. You don't wanna have fun? Celebrate?
Yeah. After everything we've been through, you gotta give us this.
Guys.
-All right. It's fine. -All right. Do your worst.
-[both laughing] -Oh, it's on!
[Jack] Oh no.
Hey! Hey, I heard the good news.
-I'm so glad that you're okay. -Thank you.
-Yeah. -[Mel] Aww.
-Hey. -[laughs] Hey.
-I'm glad you're okay too. -Thank you.
[sinister music playing]
[peaceful music playing] . -Thank you.
