Oh!
I can't believe we ran away from our wedding.
We kind of rode away.
Yeah, that was your idea, and never again.

-[song fades] -Okay, Preacher's back.
[sarcastically] Oh, great! Wedding's almost complete.
All we need now is a bride and groom.
They're not in the barn. Any sign of them yet?
Yes, Joey, we found them.
They're waiting right now to walk down the aisle.
But I'd much rather pace anxiously to really build anticipation.
Hope, they are going to come back.
Do you know what I had to do to secure doves so last minute?
[menacingly] Trained doves?
"Trained"? Don't they just kind of fly out when you open the cage?
Um, we're gonna keep looking for Mel and Jack.
Your doves are not gonna go to waste, okay?
I have faith that Mel and Jack are gonna come back.
When?
Seats are filling up. Shouldn't we send someone by the cabin?
Can't talk now, Vernon. I've got too much to do at the moment.
[sighs]
[sighs] It's so peaceful here.
Yeah.
Something about this spot just soothes my soul.
That's why I brought you here when we first met.
You looked like you could do with some solace.
Well, maybe you could use some now.
I'm so sorry, Jack.
-I'm so sorry-- -Babe, babe, babe. Come on.
Twelve hours ago,
you were rushing your father into emergency surgery
not knowing if he was gonna live, okay?
So I don't blame you if you need to take a minute.
Or a lot longer than that.
[Mel laughs]
[crying softly] I just… I thought I was gonna lose him.
I really did, and…
all of this
pain and fear just came rushing back.
And… all this loss.
You know, my mother, my father, and my…
My husband.
My…
My daughter, and I…
I lo… I love you.
I love you so much, and I want us to start our lives together,
but I don't want to bring all of this with me.
I get it.
You don't want to walk down that aisle with ghosts.
-Yeah. -[crying] No.
I know.
I'm sorry. This is supposed to be one of the happiest days of our lives,
and I feel like I'm just ruining it, and it just kills me.
It… It's… Hey, you're not ruining anything.
Okay?
Look, we both bring a life that's been lived.
It's not like our first marriages. We know who we are now,
and what we want for the rest of our lives,
and I know that there isn't a single thing in this entire world
that I want more than you.
-[sweet music playing] -[laughs]
Every part of you.
I accept your past, broken places and all.
Just like I'm trying to learn to accept mine.
Holding the good and the bad at the same time.
Because I take you, Mel…
with all of it.
Every thought in your head…
every hole in your heart…
every pain and joy of your past, your present…
[Mel laughs]
…and our future.
Are those your vows?
-They are now. -[Mel laughing]
You always know what to say.
That's 'cause I get you.
And I've got you.
Always.
I got you too.
[sweet music continues]
What do you say we go get married?
I say yeah.
Okay.
-[laughs] Let's go. -Come on.
[uplifting music playing]
[band playing upbeat music]
Can I have more lemonade?
Not now, sweetie.
Took Brady a while to get it.
Must have been some line.
Yeah! Sorry, there was, uh…
Just got to talking to people.
I wonder if they're gonna cantaloupe.
-Cantaloupe? -Yeah.
Elope.
Oh!
[laughs] Yeah, no, I, uh… I doubt it.
Never know. Plans change.
You, uh… You okay?
Yeah!
Why wouldn't I be?
I want to see her dress so badly.
You ever play Candy Crush?
It's, uh, what I do sometimes to kill time.
There.
Crush away.
[inhales deeply]
[indistinct chatter]
Hey.
-Hey! -Hey!
Uh, everyone's waiting and I'm all out of programs.
Any update?
I'm not at liberty to say or move.
-Hope's orders. -Ah!
Roger that. [laughs]
Hey, listen, uh…
You know, my speech earlier,
I didn't mean anything about you or your marriage.
I know.
But this… this weekend is still bringing up a lot for me.
Yeah, right.
Oh! Uh, no regrets!
My divorce was final months ago,
and I am really grateful Jay's not in my life.
No, I get it.
No, I… Jay, he wasn't a good guy.
He did a lot of bad things.
And I did some too.
Look, you know me.
I'm not a quitter.
And I hate losing.
[both chuckle]
And I do have grit.
So I did everything I possibly could to make my marriage work.
The more I fought, the more damage it did.
Not just to my marriage.
Just, I don't know, to the whole idea.
You know, my faith in it.
So… maybe this…
[sighs]
…just isn't for me.
What? "This…"
"This" being marriage?
Kaia, you might want to take your seat.
The crowd is getting restless. I need to do something.
[Kaia nervously] Yeah.
[pensive music playing]
Welcome! [laughing]
Welcome, friends and family, to this very special occasion.
Uh, before we witness Mel and Jack enter into the bond of holy matrimony,
I would like to share a few thoughts on the subject of love.
And marriage.
Love and marriage. It's an institute you can't disparage.
[all chuckling]
Though many have tried to disparage marriage.
Frank Sinatra never did, though! No, he was married…
[Jack] Oh, this is bad.
[chuckling] Yeah, no kidding! Uh…
-Hey. -You're back! Oh!
[laughing] Yes.
And we are ready.
-You got my… -Yeah, it's in the Airstream.
What's in the Airstream?
Uh, give me five minutes.
Sure, why not? We're only an hour behind.
I mean, it's your special day.
Take all the time you need.
[laughs]
-I'll see you at the altar. -Okay.
[breathes deeply]
So, you see, many people have been married.
Um…
I… I'd like to open the floor for questions.
Um, Muriel, I believe I saw your hand, didn't I?
Oh! Um…
[relieved] Oh! Oh, thank God! Okay!
Without further ado, let's get this show on the road. [laughs nervously]
Morgan, Theo, James, and Pony, you're first.
[gentle music playing]
Oh, they're so sweet.
-Okay, Sam and Amelia. -Oh, thanks.
Bye. See you there.
[sighs]
Okay, Mike and Brie. [laughs]
-[gentle music continues] -[Lizzie] Preacher and Joey.
See you guys out there.
-[sighs nervously] -You look absolutely stunning.
-Aww! Thank you, Doc. -Yeah.
So, how are you feeling?
Happy.
Yeah, I was… I was a little overwhelmed at first.
Ah!
Was it all the ice sculptures?
[laughing]
Well, I will admit, uh, Jack and I had our reservations about a lot of it.
Hope really went so above and beyond.
But, um…
it's perfect.
Yeah.
Well, that is what she does
for the people she loves.

I would like to introduce Jack and Mel Sheridan!
[all cheering]
[romantic music playing]
Oh, sweetheart, your dress is perfection.
Aww, well, all thanks to the two of you.
-You look pretty good too. -Careful, I'm married.
[Mel laughing]
-[gasps] Oh my goodness! Hi! -Look at her dress.
Doesn't she look beautiful? She can't handle it! Look at her dress!
-[Mel] Her hair is so cute! She's so big! -[Jack] You enjoying the wedding?
[sarcastic] I'm sorry, was that too much too?
No, look, I… I…
I just want to commend you for pulling off
the most epic wedding this part of the world has ever seen.
-It was a group effort. -[sputters] Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Would you please let me just apologize to you?
From Mel and Jack,
to your friends,
to a horse, to me,
the lengths you go to for love are profound.
And it's one of the many things that
I adore about you.
Keep going.
When you show your love, you go to extremes.
But… But I didn't mean to make it seem that I was ungrateful,
or that I was minimizing your special gift.
[soft music playing]
Hope McCrea…
I absolutely love you.
I do.
Thank you for saying that.
I'm so sorry I… I made things worse with your medical license.
We'll contend with all that tomorrow.
But tonight, we're celebrating Mel and Jack.
-And us. -[Hope giggles]
-[phone chiming and vibrating] -[Doc] Oh.
Sorry. Sorry. [laughs]
What? What's that look?
Oh.
I might have just pulled a Hope.
-[chuckles] -[Hope] Hmm!
[keypad clicking]
[indistinct chatter]
-Hell of a wedding. -[dryly] Yeah, so much fun.
[dryly] Yeah, so much.
Uh, I'll have a Mel-mosa.
Yeah, I'll do a Jack & Ginger, but hold the Ginger.
[Brady grunts]
-[sighs heavily] -That's quite the sigh.
Oh, I… I think I just told Preacher I don't want to get married.
Ouch! [laughs]
That's like telling a kid there's no such thing as Santa… on Christmas.
I know!
So it's, um, really off the table?
I don't know.
I mean,
I can't help but feel partly responsible for my marriage ending.
Yeah, but sometimes two people just aren't right for each other.
You can't let one person get in the way of your next relationship.
So, is your next relationship with Lark…
or are you still hoping for a chance with Brie?
Everyone, dinner is ready down at the barn.
And remember, it's a potluck, so choose wisely.
[laughs] Stay away from the Swedish meatballs.
Thank you!
["These Days Are Golden" by Margot Todd playing]
♪ Look at us in the bright sunlight… ♪
-Hi! -[Jack] Nick, we'll grab some, please.
-[Nick] Okay! -[Mel] I'm gonna need some extra napkins.
-Oh! That smells so good. -Anything for the bride and groom.
-[Mel] Perfect, thank you. -There you go.
[Mel] Thank you, honey.
You two certainly know how to make an entrance.
Oh gosh, I'm sorry, Sam. That was my fault.
We just needed a minute alone together.
Don't apologize. This is your day.
Always put each other first.
In hindsight, that was your mother's and my undoing.
Well, from what Brie tells us, you guys might be redoing?
[laughing]
Well… I truly hope so.
Well, I'm happy for you.
And I want to apologize for not wearing the suit you bought me.
Well, I hope you didn't feel like I was forcing something on you.
No, not at all. It was just a last-minute wardrobe change.
And you look so handsome.
-Oh! Thanks. -[giggles]
I know how much your service means to you.
Yeah, well, I guess we'll never really see eye to eye on that--
Jack.
When you enlisted,
I was petrified.
After losing Adam, the idea of losing you was…
was more than I could bear.
So I couldn't condone it.
But in retrospect, it…
it was selfish.
I'm proud of your service, son, and I'm proud of you.
I love you, Jack.
Well, I love you too.
[gentle music playing]
-[Hope] Excuse us. -Uh, Jack, could we have a word with you?
-Please? -Just you.
-We'll bring him back. -[Doc] Yeah! All right?
[Mel] Okay.
-Aww, Sam! -Sorry you had to see that.
-[Preacher] Okay. -[indistinct chatter]
-[Preacher] Uh-oh! Ah! -[crowd applauding and tapping tables]
[Preacher laughing] Whoo!
Today, we are here to celebrate Mel and Jack.
[crowd cheering]
Now, I've known Jack for… over 20 years.
We have served multiple tours together.
We have built a thriving business.
And, uh…
You know, I, um…
I prepared a speech that could take us all the way
to Mel and Jack's first anniversary.
-[audience members chuckling] -But instead…
But instead, I'm going to go short and sweet,
so we can get to the cake.
[guest] Whoo! Cake!
Now, instead of, uh… preaching about marriage…
[guests exclaim]
I'm going to tell you what I've learned
from my best friend, Jack.
That's courage.
I can't think of a better demonstration of courage
than being the woman who has fallen in love with Jack Sheridan.
[all laughing]
Mel, I commend your courage in withstanding the…
the scrutiny of an adoring, yet protective community,
life-threatening wildfires,
not to mention some very complicated ex-girlfriends.
-Oh! -[guests laughing]
-[Preacher] But most of all… -Charmaine a no-show?
-Yeah, I guess so. -…I commend your love for each other.
See, because falling in love, well, it's an act of courage.
But a greater act of courage is falling in love again
and trusting in your partner's love
for you.
So…
[exhales sharply] To Mel and Jack.
[all] To Mel and Jack!
[guests cheering]
-Cheers, babe. -[laughing]
[Jack clears throat] Come here. Thank you.
-[Mel] Okay, ready? -Yep! Ah!
[Mel] Okay!
One, two…
[Mel and Jack] …three!

[Jack] There you go.

[Mel laughing]
Okay, which piece do you want? [laughing]
-It's falling apart. -All right, you gonna smash it in my face?
-I don't know, we'll have to see. -All right. I got one too.

Jack, it's time.
-Mmm! Time for what? -[Jack clears throat] Oh…

Thanks, Doc.
You finished your song!
Your mother inspired me to write that song.
Forty-something years later, you inspired me to finish it.
I'm so glad I did.
That was incredible, Everett.
Thanks, Jack.
I felt like she was here tonight, Dad. Thank you.
I never thought that song would end up being a love song.
You gave our sad story a happy ending.
Because of you, this heart of mine is finally starting to heal.
Aww.
And as someone who is still invested in that heart of yours,
what are you doing here outside of the hospital?
Well, now, given his stable condition,
we got, uh, permission for him to briefly attend with a medical escort.
-Ah! Cameron! -[Doc laughing]
I mean, it was either this or an air fryer, so…
Oh, well, this is much better than an air fryer. Thank you.
You're welcome.
But since this was a last-minute gift, I'm assuming the air fryer's still coming.
-Ooh! -[Cameron chuckling]
-Yes. -Yes, of course it is.
-Congratulations. -Thanks.

Oh, Everett, that was so wonderful.
It's so good to see you out and about again.

Well, I did promise Grace Valley that I'd get you back before the evening rounds,
so, unfortunately, we gotta go.
You think it'd be possible to stay a little bit longer?

why didn't you tell me you were such an incredible dancer?
Well, you don't know everything about me.
I'll go get us some lemonade.
-Be right back. -Yeah.
That was some fancy footwork. [chuckles]
Well, I just happened to have, uh,
saved a little spot on my dance card for you.
I appreciate that. I do.
And I wish I could, but I have to get Mel's dad back to Grace Valley.
[Muriel] All right.
And then I'm headed back to San Diego first thing in the morning.
Oh!
Okay, so then this is goodbye.
Yeah. Yeah, this is, uh…
This is goodbye. [laughs awkwardly]
Well, is there any way I can ask how things are going with you and Michelle
without sounding like some nosy woman you used to date?
[chuckles] Muriel…
You could never be just a woman I used to date.
[laughs]
-And things are going well. -Good. I'm glad.
I just want you to be happy.
And I want the same for you.
I wish I could be here to see you through your treatment.
I've got plenty of people in my corner.
Come here.
[sentimental music playing]
So long.
Can't believe we got out-danced by a bunch of old people.
I don't care.
My feet are killing me. I need a break. [laughs]
With all our adulting lately,
it's starting to feel like we're a couple of old people.
What, you mean kids our age aren't talking about retirement plans
and long-term palliative care?
[chuckling] Yeah.
Hey, um…
when you said you were kidding before
about getting married…
were you?
Are you feeling a little sad that we're gonna skip this step?
Maybe a little. [laughs]
But everyone has a different path, and we're figuring ours out.
And that's good enough for me.
[exhales deeply]
Even though it feels like a certain part of our life is kinda on fast-forward.

My love for you, Lizzie…
I don't want to rush.
Let's make a vow
to take our relationship slow and savor it.
I will.

[Denny laughing]
-[band playing gentle music] -[indistinct chatter]
You look so pretty tonight.
[scoffs] As pretty as Brie?
Is that why you've been acting so strange?
Actually, it's about you talking to her earlier.
I saw you.
Oh.
Yeah, that.
I thought we made a deal.
That we would be honest with each other.
Yeah.
Yeah, I, um…
I talked to her.
And I told her that
she should give you the benefit of the doubt, like I did.
[chuckles softly]
Really?
-Yeah. -That's it?
Yep.
Wow.
[sighs] Thank you.
Oh my God, I'm…
I'm so sorry, I…
I…
[chuckling] I was being so paranoid.
Hey, hey, it's okay, all right? We've been through a lot.
[sighs] I just, I…
I think we just need to focus on moving forward.
Together.
Yeah?
I'd love that.
Um, I haven't had eyes on Hazel in a while, I…
I should probably go check on her.
Yes, you do that.
Uh, last I saw, she was at our table playing Candy Crush on my phone.
-Sounds like you got her hooked. -[laughs]
-I might have, yeah. -[Lark laughs]
Just remember, this is your fault.
-[bulb flashing] -[laughing]
-That's amazing. -Let's look. Oh, here they are.
Oh my goodness! [laughing]
Look at your face in this picture!
-[Preacher] Hey. -[Muriel exclaiming]
Hey, you want to do the photo booth?
Oh! Uh, yeah! Sure.
Oh, 'cause we, uh… I mean, we don't have to.
I wouldn't want to pressure you into the photo booth
if you didn't want to do it.
Ah, um…
You know, it's just the whole idea of photo booths in general
are scary.
Oh yeah, yeah, they are a huge commitment.
[both laughing]
But…
if I was ever to imagine getting marr…
spending the rest of my life in a photo booth,
it would be with you.
You have stood by my side in more ways than I could ever imagine.
We've got nothing but time.
So do you want to do the photo booth for real?
Well, isn't that what we've been talking about this whole time?
Come on! Let's go.
[both laughing]
-Get in here! -Feeling like a devil. Come on.
-[booth rattles] -[both laughing] Oh!
[camera clicks]
Hey!
Oh my gosh, I really could use an assist.
I haven't peed all day. I need help with this gown.
-Okay! Let's do it. -Wait.
-Sweetheart, are you okay? -Oh yes, I'm fine.
[laughs] I'm fine, really.
Today is about you and Jack.
Of course, the path to the ladies' is where all the fun is at.
When the band's back from break, let's hit the dance floor.
-I've been looking for you everywhere. -Brie needs a second.
[gasps]
-Oh, what's wrong? -I'm fine.
Can we please just help Mel go pee? [laughs]
No, I can hold it, and you're my sister now,
so you have to tell me what's going on.
It's Brady.
Of course it is.
We slept together.
Oh wow!
I had no idea.
-[Brie] Yeah. -Me neither.
Oh, well, I told Jack,
so I assumed, you know, he told you.
Well, no, I'm sure he didn't think it was his place to,
but I'm glad that you're telling me.
-Are you okay? -No!
[laughs dryly]
I don't know what I'm doing.
This isn't me. I am not a cheater.
Do you still have feelings for him?
There will always be feelings.
-[sentimental music playing] -But I don't know what that means.
I just know that I'm… lying to Mike,
and I'm messing with Brady's life.
I mean, he wants to move on,
and if he wants to be in a relationship with some sociopath,
then, you know, that should be his choice.
Wait, Lark's a sociopath?
And tonight…
Brady told me I'd always be the one.
I just don't know what to do with that.
I don't know if I can trust him. I know…
I know I definitely cannot trust myself with him.
That is why I'm with Mike, you know?
He's a good guy.
And I… I want to commit to Mike.
Then maybe you need to let Brady go.
I have not known Brady for as long as you have, but…
what I see is a guy who's really trying.
So if you're not in,
then you gotta end it, you know, for good.
What if I can't do that?
[Mel] Then…
the kindest thing that you could do is let them both go.
God.
[Zeke] Ah, you should have told us about the blues, buddy.
We would have pulled ours out for you.
[Jack] I know. I know. It was a last-minute decision.
[Preacher] Oh yeah, very last minute.
[men laughing]
I don't know. I guess I've just
spent so long carrying all the pain of our experience around,
I started to lose sight of all the good in it, you know?
Like this brotherhood that we will always have.
[Zeke] Oorah.
Ah, man, you know, when our…
When our backs were up against a Humvee taking enemy fire in Fallujah,
I never imagined we'd all end up here someday.
Well, not all of us.
Chris will always be with us.
And he would want us to go on with our lives.
In fact, he would insist on it.
Because that would mean his sacrifice was worth it.
Amen.
I don't think I've ever seen all of us so… so confident, looking ahead.
Yeah, man.
Even Brady.
Gonna be a family man? [imitates explosion]
-I don't know about that. -Looks good on you.
[laughs] Thanks.
-[Mike] Get them all out. -[Preacher] Yes, sir.
[Brady clears throat]
[Preacher] I remember crawling out of that camper, like… [exclaims]
[men laughing]
Hello, Mrs. Sheridan. What's your favorite moment of the night?
Hmm.
Um…
-Nick's barbecue? -Come on.
I'm just so impressed I didn't get any on this dress.
[laughs] Okay, but that's your favorite moment of the night?
The doves were a nice touch.
-Yeah, okay. -[Mel laughing]
I applaud Bert for resisting the urge to hunt them.
[laughing] Yeah.
Oh, gosh, I don't know. There's too many to consider.
I'm gonna be spending the next year thinking about tonight.
I think I'm gonna be spending the rest of my life thinking about tonight.
-[sentimental music playing] -Aww.
All right, well, if I had to pick one, I would choose this moment.
-This one? -Mm-hmm.
Why?
Because if I can hold on to the feeling I have right now,
I know that we can get through anything.

-[song continues] -[guests cheering]
Bye!
[guests cheering]
-[song fades] -[car horn honking]
Hey.
You wanna go for a walk?
-Yeah, sure. -Okay.
Hey, Jo Ellen, have you seen Lark and Hazel?
Oh, well, they left.
Left?
I talked to Lark a little while ago,
and she asked if Nick could take her and Hazel back to the B&B.
Huh.
-Is everything okay? -Yeah, no, it's okay.
I just, um, thought we were gonna leave together.
I'm gonna swing by the B&B, see if I can catch 'em.
Well, Brady, they're leaving there too.
-She didn't tell you? -[laughs] What are you talking about?
Well, before they left,
Lark said that she and Hazel were checking out of the B&B.
Lark gave up her housekeeping job.
I assumed you knew.
-Thank you, um, I'm just gonna call her. -Ah.
Sure.
[dark music playing]
[dramatic music playing]
Oh my God.
What a night.
[chuckles] Yeah.
-I'm so happy for Mel and Jack. -Mm-hmm.
They've definitely shown that a couple can survive anything.
Yeah, they do set a high bar.
We do too.
I mean, we've been through our fair share.
Um, stakeouts.
You getting shot?
-Me seeing your parents naked… -[groans]
…which is probably worse than me getting shot.
[Brie mock crying and laughing]
But, hey, every time that life gets tough,
me and you, we've proven that we get tougher.
And you're resilient,
and brave,
and strong.
-[Brie laughs softly] -You…
You give me strength.
You give me strength too.
I hope so.
You've been, uh…
carrying a lot the past few weeks, and, uh…
all I've wanted was to take care of you and to hold space.
-Mike. -To…
To love you.
And I know that we talked about moving in together.
But I'm… I'm thinking about our future.
All of it.
And I think we should just go for it.
Go for what?
[laughs] Okay.
I… I didn't plan any of this.
-Obviously. -[laughs nervously] Oh my…
I promise I'm gonna get you something better tomorrow, but for tonight,
Brie Sheridan, will you marry me?
-[softly] Um… -[tense music playing]
Mike…
I slept with Brady.
I know.
[inhales sharply]
-[gasps] What? -Ah!
-[Jack clears throat] -What? Oh my…
Jack!
[laughing] You're so silly!

[Jack sighs] Mmm.
You know, I could just
lay here all day.
Yeah, me too.
-Mmm. -Except?
Well, I can't believe I'm going to say this, but I'm hungry.
[Jack laughs]
And all we have are mushy, chocolate-covered strawberries
and flat champagne.
All right. All right.
As my first act of service as your dutiful husband,
I will go get us something to eat.
-Oh! -[Jack grunts]
I really can't believe Hope didn't plan our breakfast.
Well, she got everything else right, though.
-[Jack] That she did. -Mm-hmm.
You know, yesterday really went off without a hitch, huh?
Well, one hitch, actually.
-[laughing] Oh, come on. Okay, Lizzie. -No.
Um, Charmaine, she was a no-show, and I left her a few messages,
and I texted her, and she never got back to me.
-[on phone] You've reached Charmaine… -Now it just keeps going to voicemail.
I'm sure she's fine. I mean, she's so overwhelmed with the twins.
[chuckles] Remember, she kept getting the wedding date wrong?
Yeah, but she was also taking out a restraining order on Calvin.
What if something happened to her?
-I want to go check on her. -No, no, you're not, no. You're…
-But-- -You're going to stay here and relax.
My wife.
I will go check in on her while I'm out.
-Your second act of service. -Oh, of many more to come.
[door opens and closes]
Vernon?
Vernon, you are not gonna believe this!
What's wrong?
Well, this was delivered this morning from the California State Medical Board.
Your license.
Yeah.
Suspended, pending an investigation.
Bastards.
I just cannot fathom how it has come to this. I mean…
This man, he… It feels like he's got a personal vendetta against me.
I don't think it's personal.
I got a call this morning
from a woman on the Grace Valley Hospital Board of Directors.
She spoke like she didn't know you and I were married.
She was excited to share with me, the mayor,
that Grace Valley is looking at expanding their network
into Virgin River.
What?
They're planning for you to be out of the picture.
They want the clinic.
Now they're starting to piss me off. [laughs incredulously]
No, no, no, no, no.
Neither me nor my clinic are going down.
Not without one hell of a fight.
[dramatic music playing]
-[car door closes] -[Marley] Mel!
[Mel] Marley?
Hi.
Um, I'm so sorry to bother you at home, especially after your wedding--
It's okay. Are you okay? Are you feeling okay?
I'm fine. Baby's fine.
Oh, okay.
I just needed to talk to you.
Okay, let's talk.
-Do you want to come and sit? -[phone ringing]
Phil and Darla are backing out of the adoption.
What? Are…
Are… Are you sure? Did they say that?
Well, not exactly, but… [stifling tears]
[Mel] God, I… I… I just, um…
-They seemed so invested. -I know!
I really wanted to give this place to my baby.
I know. I know.
Look, um, all right, why don't we… The four of us can sit down and talk.
Or if you want, I can talk to them. I'm sure there's a solution.
I already know the solution.
Oh. Okay.
Mel… I want you to have my baby.
-[pensive music playing] -[laughs] Um…
Charmaine?
Hey, it's Jack.
Charmaine?
