New Beginnings

MAGGIE: Previously on
Sullivan's Crossing
Whatever this is that's
been going on between us,
- it can't happen.
- Why not?
Because we don't want the same things.
I'm pregnant.
CAL: You're going to make a great mom.
I really am happy for you.
Walter's been arrested for fraud.
MAGGIE: I can't believe
I spent my entire life
- looking up to you!
- I'm sorry.
The auction goes to the second
highest bidder for $160,000.
SULLY: I've decided to
take on new partners.
- What new partners?
- The Cranebears.
I finally understood what he
meant about building a legacy,
how it gave purpose to your life.
It's going to be hard for me
when you go back to Boston.
MAGGIE: I want to stay
at the Crossing with you.
I've only ever wanted to make you happy.
You'll always be a
part of our baby's life.
I really think I need
to do this by myself.
I've been in love with you
since the moment I met you,
Maggie Sullivan.
- Wait. Where's Sully?
- I'm sorry, Maggie.

It's okay.
How was survival training?
After a week in the woods,
it was nice to sleep in my own bed.
(CHUCKLING)
What about you?
How's the move-in coming?
It's good.
I'm not looking forward to
unpacking all those boxes.
Well, I can come by later and
give you a hand if you like.
That would be great.
Why don't you come over?
I'll show you the new place.
I'd love that.

That's got to be a new record.
(CHUCKLING)
Good stuff, man.
Thanks. I think I'm finally starting
to get the hang of this.
You know, Connie was right.
We're lucky to have you.
How is Connie doing, anyway?
Loves her new job.
I wish I could say the same.
What's wrong?
I don't get any time with Sydney
now that I stepped in
to be interim fire chief.
If I knew it was going to take so long
for someone to find a replacement,
I probably wouldn't have
done it in the first place.
What about you? Seen Maggie yet?
I stopped by the
Outpost on the way over.
- She doing okay?
- She's been through a lot,
but I think so.
Alright. Come on.
Break time's over! Let's go!
Hey, partner!
You could help if you wanted!
Frank. Frank!
Do you hear me?
Did you say something?
Never mind.
Uh, is this where we're
supposed to, uh, check in?
Yup. Right over here.
- (BABY CRYING)
- Aw. Want your baba?
I'll need your photo ID
and credit card, please.
MAN: Yes.
EDNA: You can charge
anything to your cabin,
and we have breakfast out on
the patio in the mornings now.
Oh, wonderful.
- WOMAN: Goodness.

Oh, here.
(SIREN CONTINUING)
(REAL FIRE TRUCK SIREN WAILING)
Thanks.
How old is he?
About 16 months.
You have any kids?
No.
Uh, how about cabin 12?
It's quieter, and it has full lake view.
Sounds great. Thank you.
Okay. You have a beautiful baby.
- WOMAN: Thank you.
- MAN: Thanks.
- See you!
- WOMAN: Bye.
I was thinking, if it's, uh, okay,
I might head back to the house
and do a little more unpacking.
Of course.
♪
You think she's okay?
I don't know.
Yeah.
(BIRDS CALLING)
Okay. Great. Yeah.
So, I'll be by, uh, tomorrow.
Yeah. We'll walk though things. Okay.
- SYDNEY: Who was that?
- Uh, contractor.
Yeah. I'm going to meet
up with him tomorrow,
go over plans for the new place.
So, how long before you're open?
Says he'll get started as
soon as I give him the deposit.
You haven't done that yet?
No. Waiting for the
insurance cheque to come in.
Should be any day now.
So, I ran into Jane
at yoga the other day.
She was asking about you.
What did you tell her?
Just that Finn is away at camp
and that you're lonely and
moping around the house.
Syd!
I'm kidding.
Very funny.
I still don't get why
you stopped seeing her.
Because I have enough
things to focus on right now.
Suit yourself,
but for the record,
I think you're making a mistake. I do.
I really appreciate your concern, Syd,
but I'm good.
And those are my muffins.
Wow.

SULLY: Maggie?
I thought you were going
in to the Outpost today.
Yeah. I did. I just I came back.
I wanted to get a head

Oh. Want a hand?
No, it's okay. I'm heading
over to Cal's for lunch soon.
Ah. Didn't realise he was back.
He got back last night.
Well, I'm glad that you two
will finally (COUGHING)
- You okay?
- It's just my allergies.
Can I have a listen, just to be safe?
The doctor gave me the all clear.
You're going to have to
stop worrying about me.
I'm fine. Okay?
- Okay.
- Alright.
I'm going to head back to the Outpost,
make sure Edna doesn't decide
to paint the place pink.

I'm happy you're back, Maggie.
Me too.

Can you unpack these for me?
I need to check some bookings.
And what are these?
Oh, they're Sullivan's Crossing
ponchos for when it rains.
And where do these go?
On the shelves with the camping stuff.
But all these shelves
have camping stuff.
Okay. Fine. I'll do it.
- Hi!
- Hi.
Where's my mug?
Cupboard by the stove.
What's wrong with where it used to live?
- This makes more sense.
- Says who?
You're the one who said
she could make some changes.
Yeah, some things, but I mean,
look at this place, Frank.
I I hardly even recognise it anymore.
Whose side are you on?
I'm not picking sides, Sully.
I'm just saying.
If you're done, I want to show you
how to use the new check-in system.
I'm good with the old system.
Writing names and
numbers on a sticky note
is not a system, Sully,
and that reminds me. I need you to write
a personal statement
for the new website.
I already told you I'm not
good with that sort of thing.
Well, you're the face
of the Crossing, Sully.
People will expect to hear from you,
so you're not getting out of it.
Why don't you come and
help me with the garden?
Love to.

Did a nice job decorating.
Well, thank you.
It still needs a bit of work,
but it's starting to feel like home.

(PEOPLE CHATTERING INDISTINCTLY)
Hey, listen.
About earlier, I just
I swear I've never done that before.
It's never going to happen again, is it?
No, of course not.
It's just, it's a new relationship,
and I've been working long shifts, so
Your personal life isn't my concern.
Yeah. I, uh, got it.
How about we just put this behind us,
start fresh, hmm?
Yeah. That that'd
be great. Thank you.
Okay. Now, it looks like
there's a lot of paperwork
that needs to get done here.
Yeah. It was, uh It was
hard to keep up with it all.
Okay. Good. Then it's settled.

MAGGIE: Hey.
You're not going to
believe what happened.
What?
I was visiting Rafe at the station,
and things got a little carried away.
Carried away?
Well, he he was
washing the fire truck,
and he sprayed me with water.
And I may have taken my top off.
Rafe must have been surprised.
Yeah. Not as surprised
as the new fire chief.
Oh, my God, Sydney.
How was I supposed to know
he was going to show up early?
Besides, Rafe has been
working double shifts
since Connie left.
Is that new?
Oh, uh, yeah.
Cal gave it to me at lunch today.
Here you go.
Thank you.
Well, I'll talk to you later.
I'm making Rafe a
romantic dinner tonight.

So, uh, how'd your week in the woods go?
Now, I know why they
call it survival training.
Wow! Are these the new plans

Uh, yeah. Let me walk you through them.
We have the breakfast area over here,
and over here, we have the bar.
And, uh, I'm going to
add a walk-in freezer.
Lots of room for a dry ager.
Yeah. Looks like you're going
to give that axe-throwing bar
a run for its money, huh?
That is the plan.

been a rough ride,

He's just going to need a little time.
Uh, maybe I can head home,
check in on him?
Good idea. We'll close up.
MAGGIE: Okay.
- Goodnight.
- Night.
You know, I've been thinking.
Couldn't hurt to slow things down a bit.
- What do you mean?
- Well, maybe this is
not the right time to be
making all of these changes.
Things are finally starting to
pick back up around here, Frank.
There's never going to
be a right time for Sully.
Quit worrying.
Sully will be fine.

upgrades that Edna's making,
just remember that she's
just trying to do what's best
for the Crossing.
She doesn't mean to upset you.
I guess you're right.
Look. I get it.
I'm not good with change either,
but sometimes it's a good thing.
I wouldn't be here if it wasn't.
You sure you made the
right decision, Maggie?
I've always been happiest here with you.

into the diner that night

No. I did it over the phone.

Said it was a quiet spot

That's me. I remember
taking that booking.
Just a second. It's over here somewhere.
Here it is.
This is exactly why I
upgraded the system, Sully.
SULLY: I don't understand
why you still have
a an issue with this.
I already checked a
couple into that cabin.
Alright. What about
cabin 14 or cabin 16?

tried it on anyone before.
I don't know why Edna had
to change the system. Geez.
Look. You're the one that
screwed up my booking.
Don't you think it's only fair
you compensate me for the inconvenience?

"When my great-grandfather left Ireland
over 100 years ago
and made the long
journey to Nova Scotia,
he did it to follow a dream,
a dream he had of building
a better life for himself.
But to do that,
he had to make new friends
and put his old dreams aside.
It was challenging,
and there were people
who stood in his way,
but he was determined to make it work.
He was able to put down roots
More than ever ♪
and build a home.
♪
A home where people could
reconnect with nature,
a sanctuary that would be passed down
from generation to generation
that would eventually become
Sullivan's Crossing."
