00:02Boys, why don't you tell Constable Graham what you told your parents and me?
00:06Here you go, fellas.
00:12When we went out to set trail markers, Toby and I decided to make a fire.
00:18We wanted to heat up some stew, but then we put it out.
00:21Doused it with water, buried the coals.
00:23From what Cooper told me, they did everything right.
00:26Where exactly did you light this fire? Do you remember?
00:28Up the north side, just past Bell Rock.
00:31We could take you there.
00:33No, it's okay. We know Bell Rock.
00:35As soon as the fireside is safe, we'll head up to inspect.
00:38Did either of you actually see this fire start?
00:41No. We didn't notice anything until we were almost down North Ridge.
00:45That's when we smelled smoke. Just like that.
00:48We were surrounded by fire.
00:50I promised I thought it was out.
00:53We must have missed a step.
00:55We're so sorry.
00:56It's alright.
01:06You both did great in there.
01:10I'm so proud of you boys for telling the truth.
01:14I wish we never made that fire.
01:17So we still don't know what caused the fire.
01:20And if it was the boys?
01:21Well, they're minors, so this will go on their record.
01:24They may have some community service, but they won't serve any jail time.
01:29I do have to warn you that if Cooper and Toby are found responsible, your family could be liable for
01:35all property loss and damage.
01:37That's half the town.
01:38We can't possibly pay for that.
01:40We can't possibly pay for that.
01:41What do we do?
01:41Well, you can certainly fight it in court.
01:43So, my advice is to get the best lawyer you can.
01:47The sooner the better.
01:56E.D., I'm so sorry.
01:59I got stuck at this ridiculous dinner, and by the time I ran over to the meeting, everyone had left.
02:05Well, once people realized the governor wasn't joining as I had promised, no one saw a reason to stay.
02:12I really am sorry.
02:14It was an important, last-minute meeting for my campaign.
02:17You know what?
02:19In my work in Capital City, I spent a lot of time around politicians.
02:24And they always complained about the same thing.
02:28Compromises, tough choices, the games, but deep down, in their core, they loved it.
02:34I thought maybe you were different.
02:36That you wanted to change the rules.
02:41I guess I was wrong.
02:44Now, if you'll excuse me, my clients expect my full attention.
02:48Not compromises.
02:59Whoa! New saddle!
03:02Newton is gonna love it!
03:03Actually, this is for Oliver's official service horse.
03:06We get him in on Monday.
03:07I thought he didn't get a horse until he's 18.
03:10Well, after Sunday, he'll be 18.
03:12Sunday?
03:14Oh, my goodness.
03:15I have so much to do.
03:18Bye, Dad!
03:20Sorry, Judge Avery.
03:23Where's she off to in such a hurry?
03:25I think I might have just released the hounds on someone.
03:27It's Oliver's birthday this weekend.
03:28Well, at least someone will be enjoying themselves.
03:31Yeah.
03:32I know.
03:33I really hate this part of the job.
03:35Are we still with McGinty we can look into?
03:36We bring him in for questioning.
03:38All right, I'll get him in today.
03:40Anything so we don't have to charge those boys.
03:43Here you go.
03:46Oh!
03:47I had wondered where you two scampered off to after breakfast.
03:50Yep.
03:50Just want to show you what we've been working on.
03:53I thought Goldie could use it for her dolls.
03:55Mm-hmm.
03:56This is fantastic!
03:58And I made this for myself.
04:00Oh, goodness.
04:01Oh, oh, oh, all right now.
04:04Just...
04:04Oh, gosh.
04:06Well, I can tell the craftsmanship is quite good.
04:08Can I walk Goldie to daycare again?
04:11Gwen!
04:12Of course.
04:15That's very helpful.
04:16Gwen's gonna walk you to daycare, all right?
04:18Off you go.
04:22Bye-bye!
04:35That's enough.
04:37It was good for me to get back to making something again.
04:40Which got me thinking.
04:42You know how last night at the meeting a lot of people were complaining about the construction companies jacking their
04:46prices to profit off Benson Hills and their tragedy?
04:48Yes, it's terrible.
04:49It's reprehensible.
04:50So, what if we expand Colter lumber into Colter construction?
04:55A one-stop shop for the Benson Hills rebuild.
04:57What do you think?
04:58Well, Lee, I...
04:59I think it's wonderful.
05:03Mmm.
05:06My mom says it was arson.
05:09I heard it was old man Nick and Dean.
05:11That's why Mayor Colter went after him.
05:13Focus on your reading, please.
05:17What does arson mean?
05:21Someone did this to us.
05:23A fire like that doesn't just happen.
05:29I know how difficult this is for you all.
05:31Though it may be tempting.
05:33Until we have all of the answers, we shouldn't be sharing unfounded rumors.
05:38Now let's turn our attention to science, please.
05:51We have a witness that saw you entering the park and can't have fueled the day of the fire.
05:54Oh yeah? Who?
05:55We're asking the questions.
05:56Your history with the park makes you a person of interest.
05:59Now you can choose to withhold information or not cooperate, but that didn't serve you very well last time, did
06:04it?
06:04Look, AJ, we know you lost your ranch in the fire.
06:07We don't want to drag this out any more than we have to, but if it was you entering the
06:11park with a can of fuel on the day of the fire, what do you expect us to think?
06:16It wasn't fuel, it was a cat.
06:19Excuse me?
06:20I was burying my cat.
06:22So the can was a cat?
06:26I buried the cat in the can to protect it from wildlife so he could rest in peace, alright?
06:35Do you expect us to believe-
06:36His name was Mr. Mittens, he was a Maine Coon and the best mouser I ever had.
06:43Well, I'm inclined to believe you.
06:46Because I don't want anybody to make up a story like that.
06:49But I still put you in the forest the day of the fire.
06:52And you could have set that fire after the burial.
06:57Fine.
06:57Ask the barkeep at Shivering Timbers.
07:01Shivering Timbers in Benson Hill, those there all afternoon.
07:05Toasting the memory of Mittens?
07:07Mr. Mittens.
07:14And there you are, 15 cents change. Thank you, Denise.
07:19Oh, good afternoon, Minnie.
07:20Good afternoon, Ned. Florence.
07:22Minnie, how are the jam sales going?
07:25Pretty good, I suppose.
07:27More folks are buying provisions since the fire.
07:29And they do love the jam.
07:30They do.
07:31Oh, that's wonderful.
07:32Would you be able to sell more if I brought in a double batch this week in the next few
07:36weeks?
07:36We wouldn't be able to pay you up front.
07:39But, of course, you'll keep all the proceeds of what we sell.
07:44All right.
07:45I'll bring some more jars.
07:47Very good.
07:47Minnie, are you all right?
07:49Yes.
07:50Yes, of course.
07:51See you both tomorrow.
07:53Cheerio.
07:53Good day.
07:54All right.
07:56Hmm.
08:02Oh.
08:03Back already?
08:04Yeah.
08:05Found the barkeep.
08:06He's been living in Buxton since the fire.
08:09So did AJ's story check out?
08:10Seems so.
08:12McGinty talked the poor guy's ear off of Mittens all afternoon.
08:14I think you mean Mr. Mittens.
08:16Ah, well.
08:17Without another lead, that just leaves.
08:19I know.
08:20And we keep looking.
08:25Hi.
08:27Hi.
08:28Oh, no.
08:33Bad day?
08:34It started bad.
08:36It got worse.
08:38We cleared McGinty.
08:41So Cooper and Toby?
08:42Yeah.
08:42It's looking like it more and more.
08:44Ugh.
08:45Those poor boys.
08:46And our families.
08:48Is there anything we can do to protect them?
08:50I can't withhold our strongest lead from my report, but...
08:54I can retract their names because they're minors.
08:57It's not much.
08:58But it's something.
08:59Yeah.
09:06Have I told you lately how impeccable I think you are?
09:10Not lately.
09:11Hey there, you two.
09:12You seem awful chipper.
09:14I'm planning a surprise party.
09:16Oliver turns 18 on Sunday.
09:18And it'll be his first birthday party.
09:20Ever?
09:20Ever.
09:22And hear me out.
09:23I'm thinking...
09:25Circus.
09:27Okay.
09:29Maybe a circus is a bit overboard.
09:32What do you think Oliver would want?
09:35Probably something smaller.
09:38More personal.
09:39Sounds about right.
09:41I don't know.
09:42I just...
09:43really want it to be special.
09:46Allie, I think whatever you do, it's going to be special.
09:51Do you think you could both help?
09:56Yes.
09:58You're the best.
10:00You're the best.
10:12Maizy, those aren't the clothes we put out for donation.
10:14Well, I made some executive decisions.
10:17You know, I must say, Mae, you and Michael are two peas in a pod.
10:21Neither one of you has much fashion sense.
10:25Oh.
10:28I'm all for donating.
10:30For a good cause.
10:31But she's even taken the matching hats we got on our honeymoon.
10:36And your blue suit.
10:37You wore this at our wedding.
10:40She's never liked me in blue.
10:43Mike?
10:44You weren't going to say anything?
10:46I found with Maizy it's best to just pick your balance.
10:51Well, in order for that to work, you actually have to pick some balance.
10:59Enjoy.
11:04Hi, Allie.
11:05The usual?
11:06Not today.
11:07I just came by to give you this.
11:10It's a surprise party for Oliver's birthday.
11:15Thanks anyway, but I can't come.
11:19Why, are you working?
11:20Maybe the O's can cover your shift.
11:23I don't think I should go.
11:25Everyone's going to be there.
11:29Cooper?
11:29It was me and Cooper.
11:32We lit a fire in the woods when you and Opal were off and...
11:37Obviously that must have been what started the fire.
11:41Until we...
11:42We told the constable.
11:43So, everybody's going to know soon enough.
11:47So, I don't think you want us at your party.
12:02Hey!
12:03So, I talked to everyone and they're all on board for the expansion.
12:07What?
12:07What is it?
12:09I read the most recent RCMP report about the fire.
12:13A.J. McGinty was in the woods on the day of the fire.
12:16I knew it!
12:17He did not start it.
12:19He didn't?
12:20He was burying his cat, one Mr. Mittens.
12:24He was back in Benson Hills and accounted for by the time the fire started.
12:30Well, back to square one.
12:33I still have no idea who started the fire.
12:35Well...
12:37There is one more thing in the report.
12:40The only lead now is two kids from Hope Valley.
12:43An accidental fire that got out of control.
12:47The kids who went hiking?
12:48Yes.
12:52You're not going to publish that though, right?
12:54No, I will not.
12:56But I'm sure the Benson Hills beetle will.
12:59You seen this?
13:01Don't want to.
13:02Can you do me a favor?
13:03There's something missing from this shepherd's pie and I don't know what it is.
13:08Basil.
13:09I already put some in.
13:11Pepper, maybe.
13:14Blizzard, Beth.
13:14I know.
13:15I know.
13:16If you had heard the children whispering in class today, everyone's just looking for someone to blame.
13:21Once they figure out it was those boys.
13:23You just find a way to stop the speculation.
13:25Well, maybe if people heard it directly from you, then you could answer their questions.
13:32Call a meeting.
13:33At least for the people here in town.
13:35I think gossip is always worse than the truth.
13:39That is a great idea.
13:41Hmm.
13:45Paprika.
13:47Paprika!
13:55Hey, baby.
13:56I just heard from Nathan and Elizabeth.
13:58They're calling a town meeting about the fire investigation.
14:01Are they going to talk about Cooper?
14:02I don't know.
14:04We should go.
14:05I need to focus on what I can control.
14:10Baby, what's all this?
14:14I called that defense lawyer bill recommended.
14:17And he's not cheap.
14:18What about Edie?
14:19Can't she help us?
14:20No, she's one of the victims of the fire too.
14:22So it's a conflict of interest.
14:24We need the best.
14:27I know it's hard.
14:29But what Cooper did was an accident.
14:32We're going to be alright.
14:34I have faith.
14:35How can we pay for Angela's tuition and a good lawyer for Cooper?
14:42Joseph, you can put all your trust in God's hands.
14:46But right now, I need to use the hands God gave me.
14:54I can do both.
14:56Put me to work.
15:02Thank you all for being here on such short notice.
15:05Now, we know that the fire investigation is a topic of great interest.
15:08I'm sure many of you have read the article in the Benson Hills Beetle.
15:11So we're here today to give you the facts of the investigation,
15:14quelling any rumors, and answer any questions that you may have.
15:17Is it true that you questioned A.J. McGinty?
15:20Why hasn't he been arrested?
15:24A.J. McGinty had a verified alibi during the fire.
15:27He's no longer a suspect.
15:28But we are still looking...
15:30The Beetle says two kids from Hope Valley started the fire.
15:34Is that true?
15:35Calm down, everyone. Calm down.
15:38It's true that there was a group of kids hiking in the woods at the time.
15:42And they lit a small camping fire.
15:45But it is still under investigation.
15:46There's no proof yet that that is what caused the wildfire.
15:49But that is what you suspect.
15:51Under investigation does not mean arrested or convicted.
15:54Is it true that your daughter was one of those hikers?
15:58Perfect.
16:01All right, let's just remember that the people of Hope Valley took us in during our time of need.
16:06Now, what we need right now is a little trust.
16:11We want to believe that you are telling us all you know and not putting your kids and your jobs
16:16ahead of closing this out.
16:17You all get to sleep in your own beds.
16:20It's easy to forget that some of us have nothing.
16:24Mayor Hickam, we are working as quickly as we can, but not quicker.
16:29Well, it sure sounds like you're keeping secrets.
16:31Yes, it sure does.
16:32Answers!
16:37I know how hard it is waiting for answers.
16:41You all have lost so much and everyone is just looking for why.
16:46But what if it does turn out that all of this happened because some kids lit a campfire?
16:55What if your suffering isn't caused by anyone trying to hide the truth from you or hurt you?
17:01What if it really was just a terrible accident?
17:06As much as you're hurting, finding blame today isn't going to bring back your homes or restore your businesses.
17:13When you all showed up in Hope Valley with the few things you could carry, we became a community.
17:21And that's the only way we're going to get through this.
17:38I just feel so helpless, Nathan.
17:40I know.
17:42I mean, if it was our kids, what would you do?
17:47I would make sure they felt loved and supported.
17:52No matter the outcome.
17:55Well, then that's exactly what we're going to do for Cooper and Toby.
18:22Cooper! Cooper! Cooper Canfield!
18:28What do you think you're doing?
18:30I don't want to burden you anymore.
18:32I read that. And it's nonsense.
18:35I heard you and Dad last night.
18:37I know I'm ruining everyone's lives. It's better if I go.
18:41You listen to me. You have never been and will never be a burden.
18:45You and Dad have so much to worry about.
18:47With Angela, with the church, I'm supposed to be the easy one.
18:52If Angela has to leave school because of my mistake, I won't be able to live with myself.
19:02Cooper, please hear this.
19:06You've brought us light and joy since the day you were born.
19:11In this accident, this mistake, it changes nothing.
19:21You are known.
19:23And you are loved.
19:26Okay.
19:35After all the business I've done at your bank, this is what you pull?
19:39Forget the loan.
19:41I'll do it on my own.
19:43There you go.
19:45You got no ranch, no insurance, and no loan.
19:48No ruin.
19:50You got your wish.
19:55So, after we check on the cupcakes and pick up the balloons, we'll be all set to decorate.
20:01Hi, Maxine.
20:02Rupert.
20:06Um, maybe this whole party is a mistake.
20:09What? It's too late to cancel it.
20:11Why would you say that?
20:13Well, I thought it would be good to try and have fun together.
20:16Mm-hmm.
20:17But I invited the kids from Benson Hills, and none of them were coming.
20:22Ellie, listen.
20:24Everyone heals at their own pace.
20:27And you are doing something beautiful for a friend.
20:36Oh.
20:38There's the birthday boy now.
20:40Do you mind, Vi?
20:41Of course.
20:43Thanks.
20:46Oliver!
20:47Wait up.
20:49Hi, Allie.
20:50Where are you headed?
20:51Oh, just doing errands.
20:53Um, how is everything today?
20:56I mean, after that town meeting.
20:58About the same.
21:00Rupert's mother wouldn't even look at me.
21:03People want answers.
21:04It'll take time.
21:08I know who it was.
21:10Toby told me yesterday.
21:12And why didn't you defend yourself at the meeting last night?
21:14You let everyone think it could be you.
21:16It's like Mrs. Thornton said.
21:18It shouldn't matter who it was.
21:20It was an accident.
21:22I taught them to skip stones this summer.
21:25That one feels like it'll never be like that again.
21:30Hey, wanna meet later?
21:32Maybe go for a ride?
21:34Well, yeah.
21:35Okay.
21:35Sure.
21:37Meet at the stables?
21:38Actually, meet at the cafe.
21:40Three o'clock.
21:42I, uh, gotta bring something to Mrs. Canfield.
21:45Okay.
21:45Yeah, sure.
21:47So, it's a date.
21:48Well, it's not a date, but a plan.
21:51It's a plan.
21:53I'll see you later.
21:54Can't wait.
22:05Mikey, I am trying to breathe some life back into this so-called garden of yours.
22:09What is it?
22:11Well, Maisie.
22:13You remember how you taught me not to overcrowd the bulbs or else they won't bloom?
22:19Yes, and it doesn't look like you've been taking that advice.
22:23Well, what I'm trying to say is we'll all flourish if we have our own space that we respect.
22:32This is our house, and May and I are very happy to have you here as long as you need.
22:37But, well, you're not the mayor here.
22:49So, what are the terms?
22:52I'm going to wear blue.
22:54Powder.
22:56Royal.
22:56Oh.
22:57Navy.
22:58Periwinkle.
22:58Oh, periwinkle.
22:59All of them.
23:01All of them.
23:03All right.
23:04And?
23:07And, uh, May and I would like you to join us at a birthday party.
23:11A birthday party?
23:13These are your terms, Michael.
23:15Our young Mountie is turning 18, and everyone is invited.
23:19Oh, I highly doubt that some young man is going to miss an old lady mayor.
23:24You're exactly who we need right now.
23:26I saw you at that meeting.
23:28People follow you, and they always have.
23:30If you show a little community spirit right now, you'll inspire everyone else.
23:38Just think about it.
23:43Only if you want to.
23:47May, I did it.
23:55Am I, uh, am I interrupting?
23:57Not at all, my friend.
24:00Good.
24:07Didn't see you at the town meeting last night.
24:09Wasn't sure if you'd heard that McGinty had been cleared.
24:13I did hear that.
24:16Rosie told me about Cooper and Toby and the campfire.
24:20And I'm so sorry for those boys.
24:23That is a terrible weight to have to carry.
24:26Mm-hmm.
24:30How are you?
24:32How are you holding up?
24:36If I'm being honest, I don't know right now how we're going to get through this.
24:41Yeah.
24:46Oh, Joseph.
24:50It is so hard to sit in the unknown.
24:54I think that's why I was in such a rush to blame McGinty.
24:57I needed to hold someone responsible for everything that I'd lost.
25:02You are not alone in that.
25:03Yeah.
25:04I guess I'm no better than anybody else at that meeting.
25:07Demanding names, needing someone to blame.
25:10I wouldn't go that far.
25:12No.
25:13You're willing to forgive Cooper and Toby.
25:16Maybe you could find some forgiveness for Mr. McGinty.
25:20He didn't start the fire.
25:23I was...
25:25...wrong about that.
25:29That's as far as I'm willing to go.
25:35And only...
25:36Mercy means the most when it's hardest to give.
25:46I hear you have an exciting announcement to make.
25:50Yes, I do.
25:51I am officially seeking my second term as your governor, and my re-election campaign begins today.
25:57Well, you heard it here first, listeners, on the Valley Voice Radio Hour.
26:09But now, tell us, why would people give you another term?
26:15I will continue to think broadly and locally for all the people in the territory.
26:20We will be helping the people of Benson Hills rebuild their community.
26:24That is a top priority.
26:26In fact, I promise that the rebuild of Benson Hills will be completed within one year.
26:32One year? Governor?
26:35The territory famously carries a deficit.
26:37How can you make a promise like that without money to do it?
26:40You're right.
26:41We do need revenue.
26:42Does that mean raising taxes?
26:51That is one way for us to secure the necessary funds, yes.
26:58Look, I can tell people what they want to hear about not raising taxes,
27:02and then do exactly that when I'm in office.
27:05But I'm not going to lie to you.
27:06I am going to do everything in my power to bring our community back onto its feet.
27:23I right am.
27:40Oh, nice.
28:01Allie, everything looks incredible.
28:03You pulled it off in record time.
28:05Thanks for all your help.
28:10Well, Oliver will be here soon.
28:12There's no one here from Benson Hills.
28:16I know you did your best, Kato.
28:22But it looks like somebody showed up.
28:29Maisie, you made it.
28:30Thank you for coming.
28:32Thanks so much.
28:35We so appreciate you coming, Mayor Hickam.
28:38Oh, my gosh.
28:39Look.
28:45Oh, my goodness.
28:47I am so happy you're here.
28:49You were right.
28:50This is our community now, too.
28:52No.
28:57No.
29:04Hi, Allie.
29:05You look really nice.
29:07Ready to go?
29:09Actually, there's something I want to show you first.
29:11Come with me.
29:22Surprise!
29:24Surprise!
29:25Surprise!
29:30Happy birthday, Oliver.
29:32You did all this?
29:33Well, I know you never got to have a party, so...
29:37Something for every birthday you missed.
29:41Sort of like 18 birthdays in one.
29:46What do you think?
29:48I think this is the best thing ever.
29:52Well, were you surprised?
29:53More like shocked.
29:55And amazed.
29:56Glad to hear it.
29:57Let's get this party started.
29:58Yes!
29:59All right!
30:09Cornhole?
30:11Where's Cooper?
30:12He's the master.
30:13Where is he?
30:15And Toby.
30:17I invited them, but...
30:18I guess they decided not to come.
30:21You know.
30:23Yeah.
30:24This is all incredible, but...
30:27I promise I'll be right back.
30:31Remember, we're all over seven.
30:33Loosen your wrist a little more, and then flink it.
30:43It's not just the wrist.
30:44You also gotta snap the elbow.
30:46Oliver, what are you doing here?
30:47Yeah, isn't your birthday party now?
30:49It is, but you guys weren't there.
30:51Trust me, that's how you want it.
30:53Yeah.
30:54We set the fire, and you're a Mountie.
30:56You shouldn't be hanging out with us.
30:58You didn't do anything on purpose.
30:59You're not criminals.
31:00Anyway, the whole point of a birthday party is being with your friends, so...
31:03If you're not going, I'm not going.
31:11Okay.
31:12But we have one condition.
31:20It's not going back yet.
31:27Gather around, everyone.
31:28I just want to say something really quick.
31:33Thank you all for coming to my first ever birthday party.
31:37Before I came to Hope Valley, I didn't really have friends, but now I do.
31:43And I feel like the luckiest guy.
31:47Because friends are always there for you.
31:48I'm glad I was able to convince my two pals, Toby and Cooper, to join me here today.
31:53There's something they want to say to all of us.
31:58Our cooking fire sparked the wildfire.
32:04It was a horrible action, and we're both really sorry.
32:07So, so, so sorry.
32:16Well, the first time I convinced my parents to let me babysit all of my siblings, baby Mikey went missing.
32:24Missing!
32:26First rule of babysitting is don't lose the baby, right?
32:31Oh, I panicked.
32:33Called in the town mounting.
32:35Started a search party.
32:36And do you know where we found him?
32:39Asleep in the cupboard.
32:43That's our Mikey.
32:45That's right.
32:46Even an old mayor like me has made plenty of mistakes.
32:50I'm pretty sure everyone here has.
32:55I could keep you all here most of the night talking about all my mistakes, but this is a party.
33:00Let's get back to having fun.
33:12Well done.
33:16Constable.
33:21Happy birthday.
33:25Thank you, Mayor Hickam.
33:29Isn't that your tie?
33:31I left the blue tie for you, Michael.
33:36Even if it does wash you out.
33:42Well, it's a start.
33:43Yeah.
33:50Good luck.
33:54Elizabeth, we heard about your beautiful speech at the town meeting.
33:59Thank you for inspiring all this.
34:02I just said the truth.
34:04Cooper is an incredible kid.
34:06He's the inspiration.
34:07And he deserves everyone's support.
34:10Well, just knowing we have that support is enough to see us through.
34:26That was the best party I've ever had.
34:30Oliver, it's the only party you've ever had.
34:38I didn't get a chance to give this to you.
34:40You didn't have to get me anything.
34:42This collection made me fall in love with poetry.
34:55Yeah, some for you, too.
34:57You're not supposed to get other people gifts on your birthday.
35:00It's actually from your birthday.
35:02I didn't get to give it to you last year.
35:04I hope now's okay.
35:07You kept it all this time?
35:08Go ahead.
35:14Oliver.
35:16It's a wolf.
35:17It does well.
35:18You love nature.
35:19And you're so...
35:23brave.
35:26It's really beautiful.
35:38Here, you have to.
35:54Allie really did a great job on that party.
35:57Yeah.
35:58It's a special group of kids.
36:00I tend to think that all kids are special.
36:05That's because of you.
36:07You know that, right?
36:10Those kids being generous today and showing up for Toby and Cooper, that's...
36:14That's because of you, Elizabeth.
36:17You inspired me.
36:20I'd say it was more of a team effort.
36:23I'm proud to be on your team.
36:25Elizabeth Thornton.
36:31Disaster has a way of breaking things down beyond recognition.
36:37Shattering the world around us.
36:55You look around and you think your life will never be whole again.
37:00But when you accept a little help, you can start to put the pieces back together.
37:10You may be surprised to find what you end up with.
37:15AJ?
37:18I've come to apologize.
37:20I never should have accused you of starting that fire, and I definitely...
37:26Well, I shouldn't have lost my temper.
37:28So, I am here today to humbly ask you for a favor.
37:33Would you be willing to let me launch my construction company by building you a cabin here?
37:40I don't need your charity.
37:42Well, that's good news, because this wouldn't be charity.
37:44I would be using the cabin as a model for prospective clients.
37:52I guess that could work.
38:00Good.
38:02There is one more thing, Lee?
38:05Right, yes, of course.
38:06The most important thing, as a matter of fact.
38:10May we suggest the name Dr. Socks?
38:29Because loss always comes with a hidden gift.
38:33And when we lean on our community, there are greater riches to be found.
