00:04Good morning.
00:05Oh, good morning.
00:06Look at all this.
00:08Well, I can't seem to cook for fewer than 12 people anymore.
00:13So, I really hope you're hungry.
00:15Well, everything looks delicious.
00:17Just didn't realize I had that many pots.
00:19Oh, you didn't.
00:20I had to fix the handle on that bean pot that you had abandoned.
00:23All it needed was a screw.
00:24Well, I'm glad to have it back.
00:28Charlotte, after all those stories about Jack the other day,
00:30I was thinking of going to visit him with LJ after school.
00:35Would you like to join us?
00:36What a lovely offer.
00:40But I told Florence that I would help get our garden ready before winter.
00:47But we will find the right time.
00:50Of course.
00:50How can I help?
00:51Oh, please, no. Just sit. It's my pleasure.
00:59It's been so nice having all our meals together again.
01:02And I hope you don't mind.
01:03I have to extend things a few extra days.
01:06Of course. It's no trouble.
01:09LJ will be thrilled.
01:10Good.
01:11My plans in Union City got all jumbled.
01:15Dude, what I assume is a distracted hotel reservation agent.
01:44Oh, stop in the morning to you, Nathan.
01:50You're looking for anything in particular?
01:53Lock it. Now.
01:55Am I in some sort of trouble?
01:56Not yet. Hopefully you can stay that way.
01:59Ned, I'm about to let you in on an operation so secret,
02:02you can't tell your wife about it.
02:03Oh, my goodness.
02:05Are you up for the task?
02:07Oh, I believe I am.
02:08Possible?
02:08Well, then.
02:10You're the first to know.
02:13I'm in the market for an engagement ring.
02:16Oh, my gosh!
02:17Oh, Nathan, that's wonderful!
02:20Thank you, yes.
02:21But remember, discretion is the better part of valor.
02:24Right. Right. Of course.
02:25Mom's the word.
02:27Now, I'm happy to get the sample ring case from my jeweler in Buxton,
02:31but of course I'll need Elizabeth's ring size.
02:34Of course.
02:36What?
02:36Her ring size, it's like a pant size or a shoe size.
02:39Oh, and both hands aren't always the same.
02:42That's a common mistake?
02:43Yeah, Ned, I've got it.
02:45How am I supposed to get the ring size?
02:47Well, now, you're the Mountie.
02:49I'm sure you'll come up with something.
02:50Okay.
02:50I think I'll decide to check that for you.
02:55Well, I want...
02:59If this gets out, I know who the leak was.
03:02Right. Right. Right.
03:04Unlock it.
03:05Right. Right.
03:08Uh, just put this on my tab, Ned.
03:11Of course.
03:12Good morning, Nathan.
03:13Florence.
03:15Top of the morning to you.
03:29I don't think there's anything really wrong with her hotel.
03:31I think she just wants to stay longer.
03:33You don't think she'll just come out and say that?
03:35No, you know how proud she is.
03:37But really, we'd be thrilled to have her as long as she'd like to stay.
03:40I like having her around.
03:41She's a real hoot.
03:43You're in a good mood today, aren't you?
03:45Why wouldn't I be?
03:46It's a beautiful day.
03:47I'm walking with the most beautiful woman in the world.
03:50I mean, if that doesn't put a pep in my step, I don't know what does.
03:52Nathan, Grant, you're about to burst into song.
03:55I just might.
03:56Well, I'd like to see that.
03:58Have you a duet?
04:01Walking with my dame, the stars all spell her name.
04:05No, it's light out.
04:06I shine my shoes and play it cool.
04:09Like a moth to the flame.
04:14Oh, that's good.
04:16Now we just need a chorus.
04:18Well, something to aspire to.
04:20Like dinner tonight, don't forget.
04:23How could I?
04:30With the trial coming up and Christopher still in the wind, this is what we have to prove
04:34that Pioneer Electric's faulty transformer is what started the fire.
04:37We'll also have Georgie's expert testimony.
04:40I can lay out how we got Scoggins on the hook and how his phone call to Whitaker demonstrates
04:45collusion between National Insurance and Pioneer Electric to cover up responsibility for the fire.
04:51Demonstrates collusion, sure.
04:52But it doesn't prove it.
04:53And that's the problem, isn't it?
04:54It's not ideal, but jurors are smarter these days.
04:58And you haven't seen Inspector McGill on the stand.
05:01They'll believe her.
05:02I have no doubt.
05:03Until the defense will point out that it's all circumstantial.
05:06Which it is.
05:07I have no doubt we have a fighting chance at this.
05:08But the people of Benson Hills deserve the best chance possible at justice.
05:12Now what do you got in mind?
05:13I'm thinking we'd try an op called the drip test.
05:16We prove that Pioneer Electric and National Insurance have been colluding in a cover up
05:20together by offering false information to one company and seeing if it drips through
05:25to the other.
05:26Ah, like the crown used to smoke out moles in the great war.
05:30Exactly.
05:32Okay, so we need to figure out a way to get false but compelling information to one of
05:37these companies that they won't be able to resist sharing with the other company.
05:40Who will then want to share with us?
05:42Well, the best way to do that would be with someone who probably has a legitimate claim
05:46with National Insurance.
05:48And who's a good enough actor to pull it off.
05:51And I think we all know who that is.
05:54I'll do it!
05:56Excellent.
05:56So the first order of business is to schedule a claims meeting about your playhouse with
06:00Herman Throckmorton.
06:01He is National Insurance's chief claims adjuster.
06:04Well, easy enough.
06:05I'll just insist on meeting with the chief.
06:07We are, after all, VICs.
06:10Very important clients.
06:12Good.
06:12Now, during your meeting, you're going to give him a false tip about the cause of the wildfire.
06:18Something juicy that appears to exonerate Pioneer Electric so that Throckmorton won't
06:23be able to resist sharing it with the bigwigs at Pioneer.
06:26Who will then rush to tell the RCMP, thinking it will get us other scent.
06:29It's like flushing water down a pipe to figure out where it drips out.
06:32I love this game.
06:33As chief claims adjuster, a big part of his job is sniffing out false claims.
06:38So you don't want to sell too hard so he doesn't suspect foul play.
06:41Same if you don't sell hard enough.
06:43You've come to the right place.
06:53It's our lucky day.
06:55The last two of Minnie's blueberry muffins.
06:58Hey, that's pretty.
07:00I made it.
07:01With my nine-eye, yeah.
07:02You made this?
07:04Mm-hmm.
07:04Is that the Great Wall?
07:06Um, Changchun.
07:07Yes, Changchun.
07:09Mu Tianyu was at the foot of the Great Wall.
07:11She made it sound like such a fairy tale.
07:13She must have loved this.
07:14Mm-hmm.
07:15I loved working with her.
07:16She had such beautiful hands and she always told me so many stories about growing up.
07:23Would you teach me to make one?
07:26Better be fun if you're interested.
07:28Of course I'm interested.
07:30We can paint our own fairy tale.
07:33How did you get to be so thoughtful and sweet?
07:35Easy.
07:36I married you.
07:41Yeah, I thought the same thing.
07:43Allie!
07:44See you later.
07:45Hey, how was school?
07:46Uh, fine.
07:47Good.
07:47How are you?
07:48Oh, good.
07:48Really good.
07:48Look, I want to tell you something.
07:50What's wrong?
07:51Nothing.
07:52Nothing's wrong.
07:52No, this is about me.
07:53And you.
07:54Us, really.
07:54And our future.
07:55Oh, my gosh.
07:56Dad, just say it.
07:57All right.
07:57Look, you know how I feel about Elizabeth.
08:01I think I might have noticed.
08:02Well, I also noticed how you feel about her.
08:04So, I wanted to let you know that I'm going to ask Elizabeth to marry me.
08:12Right?
08:13And?
08:14That was the news.
08:15That's what I wanted to tell you.
08:16Oh, great.
08:18Lack and lack, I really thought you were going to give a bigger reaction than this.
08:21Oh, of course.
08:22I'm thrilled, but, Dad, it's not surprising.
08:28Okay, that's fair.
08:29Look, I need your help to try to figure out what Elizabeth's ring size is.
08:33What did you have in mind?
08:35Well, don't ask me how, but I know that the ring she wears on her right finger also fits
08:39on her left ring finger.
08:40So, the plan is to get it off the finger, trace it on a piece of paper, without her ever
08:45knowing.
08:46Sounds fun.
08:48Call it Operation Ring Size.
08:52What else would we call it?
08:53Okay, come on, come on.
08:58This plan is foolproof.
09:00Elizabeth loves cookies.
09:01And you can't make cookies without her sneaking cookie dough.
09:04You sure she's going to take your ring off?
09:06Well, I'm sure she doesn't want sticky cookie dough all over it.
09:09The cookie caper is operational.
09:16Come in.
09:17Sorry.
09:18It took longer than expected to get LJ settled at Lily's, but, not to worry, cookie-making
09:23reinforcements have arrived.
09:25Now, you're just in time for the fun part.
09:27I hope you know, as constable of this town, I get to impose a cookie tax.
09:31Oh.
09:32Well, that'll be a lot of dough.
09:36Oh, uh, I almost forgot.
09:38Don't want to get my ring all sticky.
09:41Oh, good thinking.
09:48Behold.
09:50Are you sure you don't want to get in there with your hands?
09:53Yeah.
09:53I'll let you have the fun.
09:55No need for both of us to, so to speak.
10:03Okay, I have another idea.
10:05Operation Dish Dodge is on.
10:07Uh, Elizabeth, I can help you with the dishes.
10:10Oh, thanks, Ali.
10:11And Charlotte, thank you so much for cooking.
10:13Oh, it's my pleasure.
10:14Please let me clean up.
10:16You relax.
10:18No.
10:19You made dinner.
10:21Let us clean up.
10:22Oh, please.
10:23It's my mess.
10:25If you insist, thank you.
10:31Yeah, thanks.
10:33You taking notes?
10:34What?
10:35Your paper and pencil?
10:36Oh, yeah.
10:37Yeah, just jot down a few notes for Bill for the trial.
10:42Smart.
10:43I'm sure any idea could help.
10:44Yeah, that is the hope.
10:50Okay, failure is just an obstacle for success.
10:54Good.
10:55Because we've been great at failure.
10:57We just need to find the right plan.
10:59Steal her jewelry box at night.
11:01Hey, I like the way you think.
11:02Although, we don't even know if she takes her ring off at night.
11:04I have no idea.
11:05Maybe the mercantile has some very powerful magnets.
11:09Or we could always just knock her out with a blow dart.
11:11Mercantile definitely has one of those.
11:12Or exactly this situation.
11:15Maybe I should just ask her what her ring size is.
11:18Dad, no.
11:18You can't ruin the surprise.
11:21Hey, what happened to failure just being an obstacle?
11:24This obstacle course is a lot harder than I thought it was going to be.
11:28But you're right.
11:29Let's just keep thinking.
11:31I just want to put this whole thing behind me, Mr. Throckmorton.
11:34But I can't until my claim is sorted out.
11:36And my theater can rise like Lazarus from the ashes of that dreadful wildfire.
11:43You're too by that?
11:45Yeah.
11:48Mostly.
11:49No.
11:50Not good enough.
11:50What?
11:52I've never had to play myself before.
11:53Harder than it looks, huh?
11:54And it's controlled burn.
11:56What did I say?
11:57Just burn.
11:57Oh, that's a friss.
11:59Good catch.
11:59The more precise you are, the clearer it'll be that the drip was a success.
12:04Understood.
12:04I just normally have a script.
12:07You know, somebody once told me just to shake it off.
12:09Thanks for the note.
12:11And remember, Mr. Throckmorton's going to ask you a lot of questions, but he's going to know the answer to
12:15many of them, so it's important to stick to the facts.
12:18Yes, of course.
12:19And wait to pivot to the tip until you feel like you've answered all his questions.
12:23Rosemary, just try to steer the conversation that way organically.
12:27Yes, thank you.
12:29That's a helpful note.
12:31Matal?
12:38Ready.
12:40Now, confirm the precise number of chandeliers and sconces in the atrium.
12:44I believe that was in the house inventory report that we provided.
12:48Of course, but we'd like to double confirm with the client.
12:51You can see.
12:54Now, Mr. Throckmorton, I feel it's my right to ask, when will my claim be paid?
12:59I'm sure you understand.
13:00I just want to put this whole thing behind me.
13:03We'll be able to proceed further once the Mounties have determined the cause of the fire.
13:08So the Mounties are the ones holding up my claim?
13:10Is that it?
13:12Well, that is so galling.
13:16I am not supposed to know this, but I am the mayor's wife, you know, so I hear things.
13:22I have it on good authority that Laveau Farms was conducting a controlled burn in the parkland right around the
13:30time that the fire started.
13:33The mayor told you this?
13:36Seems to me you don't have to be Sherlock Holmes to figure out that that burn might not have been
13:41as controlled as they claim.
13:43Are the Mounties investigating Laveau Farms?
13:46Not that I've heard.
13:47And let me remind you, I am a reporter.
13:50Look, I love their blackberries just as much as the next person.
13:54But is it not unfair that my claim should be held up because of their negligence?
14:02Mr. Throckmorton, it wasn't just inventory items on a list that went up in smoke.
14:07Not to me.
14:08It was a dream.
14:11A dream to bring thoughtful and passionate performances to the valley.
14:15Ones that might inspire a new generation.
14:17Perhaps even my own little girl.
14:21To dare to dream big dreams from our little corner of the world.
14:26I hope you can understand that.
14:30We at National Insurance appreciate your patience, Mrs. Coulter, and your candor.
14:37We'll be in touch.
14:39Thank you, Mr. Throckmorton.
14:42And regardless of the outcome, I appreciate your time and professionalism.
14:46Good day.
14:57Bravo, brava.
14:59Well done.
15:00I was even a bit furious at Laveau Farms for their negligence.
15:05Nice touch with the blackberries.
15:07Thank you, constable.
15:08I took the note on specificity.
15:10Oh, well off he goes, so.
15:13Now what?
15:14Now we wait.
15:19They're a totally new species called Pterodon.
15:22Funny how they're new, but extinct.
15:25Oh, that's funny.
15:27And they're just giant flying reptiles?
15:29They're wingspan as big as a house.
15:31Yeesh.
15:32Then I kind of don't mind that they aren't around anymore.
15:35The crazy thing is that scientists still don't know why all the dinosaurs went extinct.
15:38Hi there.
15:39What can I get you to?
15:43A pottery class?
15:45I mean, uh, Mrs. Hickam, can I ask you to host a pottery class?
15:52Sure.
15:56I've got it!
16:01Got what?
16:04Yeah, what's, uh, what's going on?
16:07Sorry.
16:08Uh, I thought of what I want to do for Oliver's next birthday party.
16:13Wow.
16:13You really are a planner.
16:15It's just I was so caught off guard and rushed last time.
16:20Well, do you want to come with us to pick up LJ and tell us all about it?
16:22I bet Charlotte would have some good ideas, too.
16:25Thanks, but so much to do.
16:27I'll see you later.
16:29Okay, good luck.
16:29Bye, sweetie.
16:35And how about using gravel?
16:37What, for the bedding?
16:37No, no, around the sewage pipes.
16:39I've read that in unstable terrain.
16:41Yeah, yeah, sure.
16:41Well, uh, talk to Fernando about it.
16:45Good, then.
16:46Good, then.
16:48Yeah.
16:48You know, I can leave all this stuff with you if you like.
16:51It's actually lamb chop night, and to be honest with you, Rosemary doesn't take too kindly to me working late
16:56anymore, so.
16:57No, of course.
16:58I'm sorry to keep you.
16:59No, no, no, no, no.
17:00This is happening because of you.
17:02And you.
17:04And many other good folks.
17:05Which is truly gratifying.
17:07And yet I, uh, somehow still feel empty.
17:12Uh-huh.
17:15Uh, does this have anything to do with a certain lawyer friend of yours?
17:22Everything.
17:24Yeah.
17:25But she, uh, opened her heart to me, and I shut her out like a bank's vault.
17:29Then why would I do that?
17:31Uh-huh.
17:32I said, I know exactly why.
17:36Fear.
17:37No.
17:38Terror.
17:41Sheer terror of, once again, finding myself in a romantic competition.
17:46Uh-huh.
17:46Well, why should that be so terrifying?
17:48Do I only enter contests I know I can win?
17:52Of course not.
17:53If that was the case, I never would have run for governor, and I have no problem running again.
17:57Why should I be so afraid?
17:59Edie invariably brings out my best self, and yet when I had the chance, I turned my back.
18:04Why?
18:05Why can't I just trust what I feel?
18:08Why couldn't I accept that I can't control what she feels?
18:14I know it's not Edie's fault that she has a past any more than it's my fault for having a
18:18past of my own.
18:19But now she's taken a job in Union City and moved on, which of course she did after the way
18:23I treated her.
18:23And now I've become obsessed with work because I've somehow convinced myself that if the rebuild goes well,
18:27well, maybe everything else in my life will too.
18:30But does that even make any sense?
18:33Look, Lucas, as your friend, I am here to tell you that work ain't going to take away your problems.
18:39Nothing will.
18:42Except confronting them.
18:44I didn't, and I ended up in the infirmary thinking I was having a heart attack.
18:48Look, Lucas, no matter what you do, just be honest with yourself.
18:52Even if it feels a little uncomfortable.
18:55Because everything that you just said, that big long speech, that is good.
18:59It's a good start.
19:00But don't let past experiences keep you from being happy now.
19:06When I first met Rosemary, it was a tumultuous time of change.
19:12But I didn't let my past mistakes keep me from opening my heart to her.
19:18And now look at us.
19:23Listen.
19:24Lucas, all you gotta do is trust the good man that you are right in here.
19:31And I promise you, Lucas Bouchard cannot go wrong.
19:41Actually, you're welcome.
19:48In the dead of night, I tiptoed into the coop with a rag soaked in vinegar tied to the end
19:54of my broom handle.
19:55And I snuck up and held it right under that skunk's nose.
19:59And what did the skunk do?
20:00Well, that little varmint jumped three feet in the air and ran out of that coop so fast those chickens
20:05spun like tops.
20:07Whoa!
20:08Only you could think of a way to out-stink a skunk.
20:12Well, the eggs did taste like vinegar for about a week.
20:16But it was worth it not to have to call a trapper for a problem that I was perfectly capable
20:21of handling myself.
20:26Hi, honey bear. Have a seat.
20:29Oh, looks like somebody's feeling inspired.
20:32Oh, uh, speaking of artistic inspiration, I saw Mrs. Hickam teaching Mr. Hickam how to make these beautiful clay bowls.
20:41That sounds like fun.
20:42I thought so, too.
20:44And when I asked her about it, she offered to teach me and anyone else who wanted to join.
20:49I thought it would be a fun thing for us all to do together.
20:53Maybe after school tomorrow?
20:54Oh, Allie, I would love to, but I have to drop LG at Talia's after school.
20:58Well, and then I've just got mountains of grating to catch up on.
21:00Oh, Elizabeth, go have some fun. I can take LG to Talia's.
21:03Thanks, Charlotte, but I wouldn't want you to miss out.
21:06Well, I tried working with clay in the past, and let's just say there's a reason I'm not a potter.
21:11You go.
21:13Well, all right, thank you, Charlotte.
21:15I can catch up on my grating later.
21:17Yeah, it's going to be fun. I'm excited.
21:19Me too.
21:21Thank you both for dinner.
21:22Bye, Charlotte.
21:24Oh, and I'll see you tomorrow.
21:26Bye.
21:34Hey there. What are you drawing?
21:36We're reading Robinson Crusoe in class, and I asked the students to think about what it means to be a
21:41survivor.
21:41I drew you, Grandma Charlotte.
21:43Me? Huh?
21:46What makes Grandma Charlotte a survivor?
21:48She's so tough. She doesn't need anyone.
21:54Oh, that's, uh...
21:56That's pretty tough, huh?
22:10I finally got him to bed.
22:12I wouldn't stop talking about those trout you two caught the other day.
22:17Well, it was mostly him.
22:19He's the crafty one.
22:21He really admires you.
22:28You know I've never been to Jack's grave.
22:31Not for the funeral, not in all these years.
22:37Elizabeth.
22:39You lost your husband.
22:45And I lost my little boy.
22:52And you asked me to join you.
22:54I just couldn't.
22:55I can't.
22:58I can't.
23:01Charlotte.
23:04Everyone grieves in their own way.
23:07I know you.
23:09You will find your way.
23:11And you will find the time that's right for you.
23:16Whatever you do, you keep that little boy of yours safe.
23:22Because you do not want to end up on this island.
23:32Listen to me.
23:33Okay, so I'm going to make us a fresh pot of tea.
23:35Do you have any ginger?
23:37Charlotte.
23:54So first step is to soften the clay.
23:56So let's all pick up our balls of clay.
24:01I'm just so excited you're all taking an interest in May's pottery.
24:04Aw.
24:05Gosh.
24:06Can't you just feel the...
24:07Tsi hui?
24:09That's Mandarin for possibilities.
24:12So many possibilities.
24:15We should probably take off our rings, though, right?
24:18Oh.
24:18You don't have to, but that's probably the best to not have anything between your hands and the clay.
24:23Good thinking, Allie.
24:25I could put yours in my pocket with mine.
24:28Thanks.
24:28Yes, that's okay.
24:31The warmth of your hands will soften the clay, so really get in there.
24:35Oh, uh, Mrs. Hickam, I read an article in St. Nicholas magazine that said you should try wearing a blindfold
24:41while working with clay.
24:42Okay, so you really connect with it.
24:45Do you think we should try it?
24:47I'd love that.
24:48But maybe we can just close our eyes?
24:51Yeah, of course.
24:55Mm-hmm.
24:56Mm-hmm.
24:59Mm-hmm.
25:00Wow.
25:00It really does focus you more on the texture.
25:04Good idea, Allie.
25:05I can really feel it softening.
25:11This is so much fun.
25:13Mm-hmm.
25:18Good afternoon.
25:19Constable Grant.
25:21Yes.
25:22Shelby Whitaker, Pioneer Electric.
25:24Mr. Whitaker, what can I do for you?
25:26Look, I know you're just doing your job with your investigation of Pioneer Electric, but in the course of doing
25:33my job,
25:34information has come to light that I think you'd be very interested in.
25:38Please have a seat.
25:39I'll be listening.
25:44I'll be brief.
25:45You must have repeated the phrase, control burn and out of control burn, 15 times.
25:51Unbelievable.
25:51He was so smug.
25:53He had this Cheshire cat grin on his face the whole time.
25:55Well, he'll lose that grin in court.
25:57You really think this is going to sway the case in our direction?
25:59I'd rather have Christopher on that faulty Transformer, but at least we have a fighting chance.
26:03It just makes me so angry.
26:04Two companies handed the public trust, and they're betraying it by working together to cheat hardworking people.
26:11I got your message, Nathan.
26:12Did we get him?
26:14We got him.
26:19Well, after all that loss,
26:22wind feels good.
26:34Such a beautiful evening.
26:36Thanks again for dinner.
26:37My pleasure.
26:38At least I can do.
26:39You've been such a big help in this case.
26:42The pursuit of justice is its own reward.
26:45See, right there.
26:46That's why you're so darn good at all of this.
26:48Then you're smarter than everybody else.
26:49Ah, you're biased.
26:51Guilty as charged.
26:56Oh, Bill, I...
26:57Sorry, I...
26:58No, no, I'm sorry.
27:00Well, haven't you ever wondered if we could have made a go of it?
27:03Well, of course I have.
27:05Sometimes it's all I could think about, but...
27:08Time has passed, and we've both made goes of it with other people.
27:11Well, so what?
27:12Well, we know how this works, and...
27:15Evening strolls and romantic kisses lead to dirty dishes and dusty slippers and the same
27:22eggs for breakfast day after day after day.
27:25Well, it doesn't have to be that way for us.
27:27I...
27:27I know.
27:28And I've enjoyed being here with you.
27:31Well, me too.
27:32Which is why I'm not ready to give up on us so fast.
27:34Bill.
27:35Georgie.
27:37You make me happy.
27:39You always have.
27:40Do I make you happy?
27:42Bill, it's...
27:43It's a simple question.
27:44Do I make you happy?
27:45Yes or no?
27:47Yes.
27:48Well, then why in the world wouldn't you want to give us a shot?
27:52You make a very compelling argument, Counselor.
27:55But if I was to even consider it, I'd have terms.
27:59I agree to them.
28:00You don't even know what they are yet.
28:04Anyway, I only have one term.
28:06Total honesty.
28:08If one of us falls out of love or someone suddenly realizes they can't stand the sound
28:13of the other one's chewing, we walk away.
28:16Agreed.
28:19Besides, I love the sound of your chewing.
28:23I love everything about you, George and Miguel.
28:26I always have.
28:30Kim.
28:49Is that my bowl?
28:50Fresh out the kiln.
28:52Looks a bit lumpy.
28:54No, it's perfect.
28:56How old were you when you did yours?
28:58Six, but Nine-Nine helped me a lot.
29:01What should we put in them?
29:03Fruit?
29:04Or sugar?
29:06Or we could float flowers like they did in Miami.
29:13May.
29:17I'm sorry.
29:18I'm just really grateful that you care so much about my past.
29:23Past, present, future.
29:26Always.
29:35All right.
29:36Here we are.
29:37Oh, my gosh.
29:38They're so glittery.
29:40That's the point.
29:40Now, your dad tells me you came up with quite the plan.
29:45Mountie Star.
29:47Well, if you don't mind my suggesting a few, I like the Asher cut, and then there's the
29:52classic old European cut, the emerald cut, and the baguette cut.
29:57And, of course, all the different kinds of stones.
30:01What about this one right here?
30:03Oh, you've got quite the eye, Nathan.
30:05That's a beaut.
30:07Oh, my gosh, Dad.
30:09You don't like this?
30:10Oh, I love it.
30:14And I love Elizabeth so much.
30:19I can't believe that this is finally happening.
30:24You too, Ned?
30:25Oh, it's just the ring makes it real.
30:30Congratulations, Nathan.
30:31Well, hold your horses.
30:34She hasn't said yes yet.
30:36But she will.
30:52Good morning, Charlotte.
30:54Nathan.
30:55I didn't think anyone else was up this early.
30:58Well, Elizabeth has been encouraging me to appreciate the morning solitude.
31:02Well, she is right.
31:04It is the best part of the day.
31:07I was actually hoping that you'd be here.
31:10Because I wanted to show you something.
31:15I'm going to ask Elizabeth to marry me.
31:18Yeah, I know.
31:20Took long enough, right?
31:21No.
31:23It's beautiful, Nathan.
31:27Well, I promise you I'll try everything I can not to mess it up.
31:30Well, you're off to a good start.
31:32Well, I'm glad you think so.
31:36Because I wanted to ask your blessing.
31:40I want you to know that I don't just love Elizabeth.
31:43But I love your grandchild as well.
31:45With all my heart.
31:49Of course you have my blessing.
31:52Nothing would make me happier.
31:55Well, that's good.
31:58Because I have just one more blessing I need to ask for.
32:10It's time.
32:27You go ahead.
32:42Hi, Jack.
32:46I think I want to let you know that you're still with everybody.
32:52Especially Elizabeth.
32:56You're still in her heart.
32:58And you always will be.
33:00I thought at first that would be hard, but...
33:05It's exactly as it should be.
33:09I wish you could see your little boy grow up.
33:12Now, he's...
33:14He's bright.
33:15And he's...
33:17He's so sweet.
33:19He just lights everybody up.
33:22I try to remind myself every day what a gift it is.
33:25To be with her.
33:27To watch him grow up.
33:32Anyway, um...
33:35I'm going to ask Elizabeth to marry me.
33:39And I want to give you my vow.
33:41As a Mountie, that I will love and protect her.
33:45And your son.
33:48Until my last breath.
33:55I know I don't have a right to ask you anything, but...
33:59If there's somehow I can get your blessing.
34:23You won me over.
34:26Maybe that's all you need to know.
34:31I'm sorry.
34:34I'm sorry you haven't seen me here until now.
34:37But it turns out...
34:39I'm a bit of a chicken.
34:45My baby.
34:48You came into this world before you were ready.
34:51And left before I was.
34:56I remember...
34:57You were a little boy and...
35:00Like you're Tom Apple picking.
35:02And you couldn't go.
35:04And you were so mad at me.
35:06Oh, you grabbed your...
35:08Your blanket and your bunny and said,
35:11I'm leaving.
35:14You sat just outside the fence.
35:15And I thought, boy.
35:17Have I met my match with this one.
35:22When I outdid you, Jack, didn't I?
35:25Now it's me.
35:28It's me outside the fence.
35:30Too afraid.
35:32Too proud.
35:33To say...
35:36I'm cold.
35:38I'm cold and I want to come in.
35:42Jack.
35:43I miss you.
35:45And I miss you every day.
35:48But I feel your presence.
35:51And the way Elizabeth talks to your little boy about you.
35:56The way Nathan...
35:58And all of Hope Valley...
36:01Still honor you.
36:04You're with us, Jack.
36:07You're in our hearts.
36:10And you always will be.
36:30We tell ourselves that solitude will protect us.
36:35That if we just remain alone,
36:37the hurt might not find us.
36:46But healing doesn't happen in hiding.
36:52Who knows why hearts open when they do?
36:56Who knows why they suddenly close?
36:58It's as ordinary as the sun setting and then rising again.
37:03And with it, all the hope of renewal that emerges from all that darkness.
37:15Thank you so much for everything.
37:18You have no idea.
37:20It was a gift having you.
37:23How is it possible that I miss you all so much already?
37:27No, you won't have to because you'll see us all very soon.
37:29And you can put this on the wall in your room and see us every day.
37:32How would you know to make the one thing that would make me the happiest?
37:36Because you're my grandma.
37:38Oh, yes, I am.
37:39Come, one more.
37:41Oh.
37:44Okay.
37:55Go get her, slugger.
37:58We're not meant to face the world alone.
38:01It's only when we can admit how much we need each other
38:03that we find our deepest strength.
38:06You're the beautiful family.
38:08Well, this is...
38:12Yes, I do.
38:14Is that Mountie your son, ma'am?
38:18He's like a son to me.
38:20Mounties always get their man.
38:23That they do.
38:25My brothers like to chit-chat.
38:27Sorry if they're bothering you.
38:28Not at all.
38:29Mounties have a very special place in my heart.
38:32And they always will.
38:33Mm hmm.
38:40The way for me is in Japan.
38:40The time for me.
38:41No.
38:41No.
38:41No.
38:41No.
38:44In heaven.
