(SOFT PIANO MUSIC)
(SIGHING)
What are you drawing?
Is that a heart?
It's a butterfly.
(SIGHING)
What are you thinking about?
I know what kind of family
doctor I want to be. I'm just
not sure of the steps I
need to take to get there.
Why don't you call Dr. Rabney?
Maybe she can point you
in the right direction.
Actually, I did. She
said I should stop by.
I wish I could get there today,
but there's so much going on.
I've got things covered
over at the Outpost.
You sure?
Look, I gotta talk to Ben when
he comes in this morning anyway.
It's probably better
that I talk to him alone.
And I can call your old
divorce lawyer from there.
Yeah, we're good, go.
Well, yeah. Give her a call,
see if she can fit me in.
(INHALING)
Need to check on Syd
too. See how she is.
- Maggie.
- Yeah?
(HUFFING)
You and Liam really didn't
talk all those years?
No, we didn't.
I had the marriage annulled right away.
(PENSIVE MUSIC)
I haven't heard a word
from that man in years.
I know it's hard, him being here.
Let's make sure we're still
taking time for each other.
How about we start tonight?
You have something in mind?
(CHUCKLING): I got this.
(PENSIVE PIANO MUSIC SWELLS)
(SIGHING)

I've given all I can give ♪

We've been here all along ♪
Through the valleys we carry on ♪

(SOFT GUITAR MUSIC)
(FRANK): "Expected solar
flares in the region
will make for quite the rare spectacle
as the Aurora Borealis will
be visible from Timberlake
and the surrounding area."
Tonight?
(PAPER CRINKLING)
Right in our backyard.
(HUFFING): Frank, I prayed for this.
(CHUCKLING): This is the
sign I've been asking for.
And now they're coming home to us here?
(LAUGHING)
Come on, let's get ready.
- I need a ride to the Crossing.
- F-for what?
I'm going back to work.
(DISHES THUDDING)
I think you should wait
for a couple more days.
No. I'm not wasting another minute.
I can't wait to get back to the Outpost.
(PENSIVE MUSIC)
All right, thanks.
- Hey, Ben.
- Good morning.
I, uh, I hope you don't
mind I brought Tracy today.
My mom got called into work a double.
Well, it's nice to see you again.
Uh, hey, Cal, can I
work on my graphic novel?
Sure, of course.
It should be in here somewhere.
- (PAPER THUDDING)
- (JINGLING)
Uh, can I borrow your
phone for some music?
Yeah, of course.
Make sure you use the headphones, okay?
(SIGHING)
Checking out.
I hope your visit ended up being okay.
(SIGHING): Yeah.
Oh, hey, it's Ben, right?
- Uh, I owe you an apology, kid.
- (SOFT GUITAR MUSIC)
- Found my watch.
- You did. That's great.
I-I shouldn't have
accused you of taking it.
That was wrong, and I'm sorry.
I'm just glad that you found it.
That's all that matters.
- Uh
- (CARD THUDDING)
- receipt?
- No.
- All right.
- Thank you.
- (DOOR SHUTTING)
- Uh, Ben, do you have a sec?
Could you give me a hand in the back?
Yeah.
Um, everything okay?
Yeah, w-why do you ask?
I had no reason, I just
I want you to know I'm
someone you can talk to.
So, if there's anything bothering you
(MELANCHOLIC MUSIC)
Uh, I guess there is
something I want to ask you.
Have you ever done something
stupid and then just
immediately regretted it.
Who hasn't?
Yesterday when I
went to go drop off
towels at Quincy's cabin.
I just saw the watch
sitting there and-and
I-I don't know what got into me.
I mean, maybe it's 'cause it reminded me
of my dad's old watch,
but I-I don't know.
I wasn't thinking and I just, I took it.
And I'm really sorry, Cal.
I appreciate the honesty.
Um, should I just get Tracy and leave?
I was thinking you could
throw some price tags on these hats.
Wait, I'm not fired?
You're not fired.
Uh, thank you.
Uh, so we're good?
Yeah. We're good.
(WOODEN GATE THUDDING)
(MAGGIE): So how are you holding up?
I'm just trying to take life as it comes
and make the most of it.
You and me both.
We can't let our lives get sidelined
by things we can't control.
Did you, uh, end up apologizing to Liam?
Uh, I was going to.
Then I saw him outside
his cabin and, um
he was shirtless and he had
these marks on his back, like,
um, keloid scars.
Keloid?
Thick, raised scars.
I don't know how he got them,
but they were not there before.
Did you ask him about it?
I left before he saw me.
I feel bad that I shut
him down in the car.
I mean, maybe he
would've talked about it.
Maggie, it's okay to have boundaries.
I know.
You just, you can't let him
waltz back into your life
- and blow things up.
- Yeah.
(APPROACHING FOOTSTEPS)
Rob.
- Yeah?
- Hey.
Breakfast was delicious.
Awesome. Thanks.
Maggie, maybe you can talk
some sense into my brother.
Hey.
About?
Well, Finn got offered a scholarship
to this incredible
Tech program in Toronto,
and Rob won't even consider it.
I have. I've thought about it a lot.
He's barely a teenager,
he needs his dad,
I need to be here.
But don't you think he should
embrace the opportunity?
All I can say is that
I didn't have the chance to
grow up in this amazing place.
Finn's lucky he has that.
(PENSIVE MUSIC)
Yes.
Yes, thank you, Maggie.
Uh, speaking of opportunity,
so I need to get to my
meeting with Dr. Rabney.
Yes, good luck. Keep me posted.
I will.
I still think you should consider it.
I already have.
(PENSIVE MUSIC CONTINUES)
- Hello?
- Hey!
Edna!
It's so good to see you.
- (CHUCKLING)
- Welcome back.
- (DOOR SHUTTING)
- Oh.
(SIGHING): I sure miss this place.
Aren't you supposed to be resting?
I've rested enough.
This is the new hire I
was telling you about.
Oh, uh, yeah, this is
Ben and his sister, Tracy.
- Hi, I'm Edna.
- Hi.
Nice to meet you.
I don't work here, but I
could if you're still hiring.
- (HUFFING)
- (LAUGHING)
I'll keep that in mind.
And thank you, Ben, for helping out.
I was starting to worry how
things were going without me.
Edna's the one who keeps things
running smoothly around here.
Well, uh, welcome back.
I, uh
(SIGHING): I guess you won't
be needing my help anymore?
Don't be silly. (HUFFING)
Part of running a business
is knowing how to delegate.
Frank, go work on that land application.
And Ben, head out to the woodshed
- and make sure it's stacked.
- (CHUCKLING)
And you, talented artist,
you should keep working on your artwork.
I want to know how you're really doing.
Great. Why?
Really?
Well, I heard that Maggie's
still married to Liam.
And there's no way that he's
not getting under your skin.
He wasn't.
Until yesterday.
Okay, what changed?
Turns out that he's been
holding on to this photo
of them from their wedding.
Hmm.
- Yeah.
- Well, I wouldn't worry about that.
Just get Maggie that divorce,
and you stay focused on
your life with her, okay?
(HUFFING)
Yeah. I appreciate the advice, Edna.
- Hm
- I missed you.
I missed you, too.
(SOFT MUSIC)
(SIGHING)
Wondering where you
are when you're gone ♪
I could be the hand that
you hold when you try ♪
You don't have to
wonder when you fall down ♪
I'll be, I'll be ♪
Right there where you
are when you need me ♪
Liam.
I hope you're not planning
on going swimming with those stitches.
Yeah, well
I already thought of that, actually.
(GRUNTING)
Waterproof. See?
(GULLS CAWING)
I'm surprised you're talking to me.
Yeah. Um
I was harsh yesterday.
I'm-I'm sorry.
I shouldn't have
snapped at you like that.
(SIGHING): It's okay.
I'm the one who should apologize, okay?
I probably could have just called
to get those annulment papers.
Showing up like I did was a bad idea.
I appreciate that.
I couldn't help but notice that
pretty nasty scar
you've got on your back.
Looks worse than it is.
I remember how you used to do that.
Do what?
You make light of something to
avoid a serious conversation.
Is that what I'm doing?
What happened?
I appreciate your concern.
But you don't have to worry about me.
(MELANCHOLIC MUSIC)
Like you said, let's just
get this divorce figured out.
Then you never have to see me again.
Too far, too fast ♪
I don't know where you are ♪
Wondering where I
am when you're gone ♪
(SOFT GUITAR MUSIC)
(EDNA): You mind switching to the table?
I'm gonna need that space, my girl.
Thank you.
Oh, you're back!
(DOOR SHUTTING)
You look amazing. Did you get a haircut?
Finally, someone noticed!
- Oh.
- (LAUGHING)
A little brain surgery's not gonna
hold this shashiipitamik down.
You look very healthy,
but I hope you are
still pacing yourself.
Mm-hmm.
I see you've met Tracy?
Yeah. She's so sweet.
Oh, and Frank's here
too. He's in the back,
filling out the application
for the land conservation.
Oh, great. I'm glad
he's running with that.
Oh.
Oh no, I broke it.
- (SIGHING)
- (MELANCHOLIC MUSIC)
Cal, gave me that.
Okay, talk to me.
Things with Cal and I were
finally going well until Liam showed up.
You and Cal are gonna be fine.
This butterfly represents
you and your resilience.
And that unbreakable.
It's good to have you back.
I'll get this fixed. It's fine.
Uh, I do need to head out, though.
Can you let Cal know I have
a meeting at the hospital?
I will.
- Thanks.
- Good luck!
Thank you.
Frank!
What do you need?
(INHALING DEEPLY)
I need you to go on a
reconnaissance mission for me.
Doing what?
I need you to spend
time with this Liam guy.
Find out why he's really here.
Okay.
(INTRIGUING MUSIC)
You do know you'll have
to do another residency.
What sort of residency, exactly?
For a change of scope,
it can be condensed.
Maybe 12 weeks?
That's fine. Really, whatever it takes.
It's not about convincing me.
It's about convincing
the Board of Physicians.
Right.
And, of course, you'll have to
find someone to supervise you.
Any thoughts on who I should approach?
The most straightforward
would be through
one of the teaching
hospitals in Halifax.
It's just, it's a bit far
With Sully out of the country,
I need to keep an eye on the Crossing.
Well, then you'd have to find
a local doctor willing to work with you.
Any suggestions?
There aren't many clinics
in this area, as you know,
and the ones that are
here are overly busy, so
it might be a challenge to
find someone to supervise you.
I think I might know the perfect place.
Thank you for your time.
(HOPEFUL MUSIC)
(CLEARING THROAT)
(HEAVY BREATHING)
- Can I ask you a question?
- Sure.
How can you trust me?
Are you saying I shouldn't?
No, but
I mean, isn't it hard after what I did?
Everyone deserves a second chance.
I just don't want
Tracy to find out, okay?
Well, I'm not gonna tell her.
She needs a good role
model right now, and
I'm trying.
I can see that. Catch.
(CHUCKLING)
(HOPEFUL MUSIC CONTINUES)
(RESTAURANT DIN)
(RHYTHMIC MUSIC PLAYING ON SPEAKER)
Oh, sit anywhere you'd
like. I'll be right with ya.
Lobster rolls with chips.
Can I get you anything
else? Okay, enjoy.
Can I start you off
with something to drink?
Just water for now.
Sure.
Excuse me, is this the whole menu?
Yeah, uh, the chef usually
does a special for dinner.
I'd actually like to speak
to your chef about his menu.
I have some thoughts.
Sure, I'll go get him.
(SIGHING) Um, hey.
Mm-hmm?
(SOFTLY): Uh, the guy at table seven
wants to speak to you about the menu.
Okay.
Oh, my God. (LAUGHING)
Look who it is! You gotta be kidding.
Amir Malik.
- How you doing?
- Good to see you, brother.
Yes. Good to see you, too.
Now, I hear you're over here
complaining about my menu.
What? I thought you
could use the feedback.
Ah, come on. Come on.
Hey, Sydney. Come here a sec.
There's someone I want you to meet.
This is my sister, Sydney. Syd.
- Hi.
- Meet Amir.
First chef I worked with
at a culinary school.
He taught me how to not
burn risotto. Thank you.
I heard Susie over here
had opened up his own place.
- Had to come check it out.
- Mmh, Susie?
Ah, kitchen nickname.
- As in sous chef.
- Yeah.
(CHUCKLING)
Okay, uh, nice to meet you.
(GLASS THUDDING)
Oh, what's with all the
pub food on here, bro?
Did I teach you nothing?
You have a problem with my menu already?
(CHUCKLING): Well, it
could use a little help.
(SOFT GUITAR MUSIC)
(KNOCKING ON DOOR)
Hey, I'm Frank. I work at the Outpost.
I brought you a muffin.
Oh, uh, thanks.
I just came by to see
how your leg's doing.
Yeah, much better.
I'm glad to hear it.
Anything I can help you with?
I'd like you to show me
where you stepped in the trap
so I can look around and see
if there aren't any others.
Oh, yeah.
- Lead the way.
- All right. Okay.
(SOFT GUITAR MUSIC CONTINUES)
There you go.
Hi. Um, has the doctor
returned from vacation?
He's with a patient.
I'm sure he's probably busy,
but if there's any way I
could have a few minutes
to talk with him regarding
a possible internship?
- Let me check.
- Thank you.
There's someone here to see you.
(APPROACHING FOOTSTEPS)
- Maggie!
- Quincy.
You're Dr. Carlson.
Have a seat.
I don't know how I missed
that you were a doctor.
Yeah, I kind of kept
that part to myself.
I needed a few days away from all this.
But I didn't know you
were a doctor either.
Well, I'm hoping to get my
license to practice in Canada.
And then, eventually,
open a general practice.
Where were you trained?
Boston Commonwealth.
Family practice?
I was a neurosurgeon.
Oh, wow. I was never
cut out for surgery.
Why is that?
Not enough of a cowboy.
I wouldn't say that I'm a cowboy.
You know, in my experience,
surgeons like to be heroes.
I know that general practice
will be different than surgery.
I want the change.
I'm ready for it.
I've never been more sure of
anything than I am about this.
Okay. What do you need from me?
Well, I need a doctor to supervise me
while I get experience.
And then we need to
present a training plan
to the Board of Physicians.
I see. And why my clinic?
I was here yesterday.
And it was busy, you were away.
It's got a good feeling here.
I think that you could
use an extra set of hands.
- (KNOCKING ON DOOR)
- Dr. Carlson,
- your next patient is waiting.
- I'll be right there.
Okay, why don't you go
outside, talk to Grace,
see if you could find a good
time to come back tomorrow
for a few hours and shadow me?
Uh, you'll get to see
what I'm like as a teacher
and I'll see how you
handle being a student.
- I would love that.
- All right.
- Thank you.
- We'll see how it goes.
- Okay.
- (HOPEFUL MUSIC)
(LIAM SIGHING)
Your ankle bothering you?
Uh, yeah, just a little.
Wanna rest?
Thanks.
(SIGHING)
So, I hear you're a war correspondent.
- That's right, yeah.
- Sounds like a difficult job.
Can be.
So do you have any plans
after you're done here?
Another assignment.
Around here?
Uh, no. Europe.
Why?
Mmh. Just curious.
Something you're trying to ask me?
No. No.
You know, Frank, I can kind
of tell when people are
perhaps digging around for something.
Is that maybe why you
invited me out here?
Sorry.
My wife, Edna, wanted
me to come out here
and get a little more
information on you.
Why?
Maggie's in a good place,
and she doesn't want anything
or anyone to change that.
(MELANCHOLIC MUSIC)
I know what you all must think,
with me showing up here
like this, but believe me,
the last thing that I want
is to hurt Maggie again.
I'm glad to hear that.
- Do you play backgammon?
- Yeah.
Why?
Good, 'cause I love the game.
Thought you might want to play sometime.
Yeah. That'd be great.
That doesn't mean I'm going
to take it easy on you.
Hey, fair enough.
Want to carry on?
- Yeah.
- All right.
(CHUCKLING)
(HOPEFUL MUSIC)
Okay, so tomorrow he has patients
between noon and three o'clock,
but it's not too busy, so
that might be a good window.
- Perfect.
- (PAPER CRINKLING)
- Here you go.
- Thank you.
You're welcome.
I like your tattoo.
Oh, thanks.
I got it at a little
place down the street.
(HOPEFUL MUSIC)
Uh, have a good day.
You too.
(HOPEFUL MUSIC CONTINUES)
I don't know. Could be a little sweeter.
- Needs more of a crunch.
- Mmh.
(DOOR OPENING)
Yeah, yeah. Maybe you're right.
(DOOR SHUTTING)
Hey, Syd.
- (INDISTINCT CHATTER)
- Hey.
Who's that new guy?
Oh, he's Rob's old mentor.
He just showed up out of nowhere.
Cal, hey. Come meet my old friend, Amir.
He's a Michelin star chef from New York.
- Hey, nice to meet you.
- Likewise.
Yeah, Amir was just giving
me some feedback on the menu.
- Mmh.
- Hey, can I get you something?
Uh, yeah, actually, I was
planning a picnic for Maggie.
I just haven't had any time
to throw a basket together.
I was kind of hoping
you'd give me a hand.
Oh, yeah, sure, no problem.
- Couple sandwiches?
- You kidding me?
(CHUCKLING): What?
Nothing says romance
like sandwiches, Rob.
You got a better idea?
Yeah. You want it to be special, right?
Why don't I make you
a charcuterie board?
A little brie, some salami,
maybe some prosciutto, and olives?
Some fruit, maybe.
That will impress her.
- (CHUCKLING)
- I'm not going to say no.
It's settled then. Leave it with me
and I'll whip something up for you.
- Appreciate that.
- My pleasure.
Nice. It's nice to meet you.
- Later, Cal.
- See you.
I'll go see if you have anything
good to work with back there.
- (DISSIPATING FOOTSTEPS)
- (DOOR SHUTTING)
You're gonna let him
take over your kitchen?
- (INTRIGUING MUSIC)
- Hey, he's just trying to help.
- Well, hmm, if you say so.
- Yeah.
Oh, I better go see if he needs a hand.
(SOFT GUITAR MUSIC)
- Hey.
- Hey!
Trace why don't you come give me a hand
with some weed whacking?
(CHUCKLING): She's been great company,
but I'm sure she wants to get outside.
Not really, I draw all the time.
She does.
She does, but she also needs
some exercise, so come on.
Bye.
- Hey, bud.
- Hey.
- Uh, can I get some coffee?
- Sure.
I need to get some beans in the back.
I'm planning a moonlight
picnic for Maggie.
Frank says the Northern
Lights will be visible tonight.
- Really?
- Yeah.
That's incredible.
- Oh, Maggie's gonna love that.
- (WOODEN GATE OPENING)
- (CHUCKLING)
- (PHONE BUZZING)
Yep?
Good afternoon, Mr. Jones.
Good afternoon.
You sound happy. You got good news?
Sort of.
Yeah, I found a doctor
who might be interested
in supervising my residency.
Oh, yeah?
Mm-hmm. And you are not
gonna believe who it is.
Who is it?
I will tell you when I'm home.
All right. What time you
think that's gonna be?
Soon. I'm just, um, I'm
working on something.
I'm looking forward to it.
Yeah, I'll, uh, I'll be
home in about an hour.
- Bye.
- (NEEDLE MACHINE WHIRRING)
(SOFT MUSIC)
How's the weed whacking going?
Uh, the battery died.
Ben's hand was cramping.
And Tracy was almost no help at all.
Good job.
It's getting late, so why
don't you call it a day?
Sure, I'll, uh, I'll go
put it back in the shed.
- All right, see you tomorrow.
- Awesome.
Um, actually, I, uh
I wanna say thank you.
Yeah, I really like
working here. It's cool.
- We like having you.
- Thanks.
Come on, Trace.
(SOFT GUITAR MUSIC)
(SIGHING)
You know, I've always
loved the outdoors.
The feeling of being connected
to something bigger than yourself?
The freedom?
Exactly.
(APPROACHING FOOTSTEPS)
Oh. Looks like we're not alone.
- Frank Cranebear.
- Well, look who it is.
Didn't expect to see you here.
Liam, this is Danny Madore.
He's an old friend of mine,
and Liam's staying up
at the Crossing with us.
Nice to meet you.
Yeah, likewise.
Well, Frank, if you're alright here,
maybe I'll, uh, head back to my cabin.
Sure. How about I come by your place
and we'll play that game
of backgammon tomorrow?
Sounds like a plan.
I thought you were out West.
Yeah, well, I kind of missed
the East Coast and, uh,
figured it was my time
to come home, you know?
Been too long.
I was just out, uh,
picking some sweet grass
for a talking circle over on the Rez.
You know
I remember coming here
when I was a kid with my
pop to do some fishing.
People had a lot more respect
for the land back then.
Mmh.
Hear they're going to
turn it into some condos.
Not anymore.
The owner gave us the land
to turn it into a conservation area.
Oh, that's great news.
Yeah, except there are all the
hoops that I've got to jump through.
(CHUCKLING)
Yeah, you gotta love
the bureaucracy, right?
I'll let the Elders
know. They'll be pleased.
Nah.
It's for you.
(SPEAKING MICHIF)
It's good to see you again.
You too, Danny.
Mwêstas.
- (PENSIVE MUSIC)
- (BIRDS CHIRPING)
(LOON CALL)
(SIGHING)
Hello?
(CHUCKLING)
Maggie?
Maggie?
Wow.
- Hi.
- Hi.
From the looks of it, things went well.
- They did.
- Mmh.
Looks like I might be working
with our friend Quincy.
- Quincy?
- Uh-huh.
He's the doctor?
Dr. Quincy Carlson runs
the clinic at Mahone Bay.
- What are the chances?
- (LAUGHING): I know.
So, I feel like celebrating.
I'm excited for our date.
Me too.
(MOANING)
- Sorry.
- Uh
- You all right?
- Mm-hmm.
Just
All right.
Oh.
So this is what you were working on?
Yeah.
Today was an important day.
I wanted to commemorate it.
With a butterfly tattoo?
Mm-hmm.
Never thought of you as
a tattoo person, you know?
(SIGHING)
You don't like it?
I do. (CHUCKLING)
But I just I didn't expect it.
I don't know, just
trying to be a little spontaneous.
You know, keep things exciting.
You are exciting.
(CHUCKLING)
With or without a tattoo.
(SOFT GUITAR MUSIC)
(INHALING): Would you
like to take a closer look?
- Mm-hmm.
- Mm-hmm?
(SOFT GUITAR MUSIC)
- Hey.
- Hey.
See? I'm taking a little break,
'cause I know how to
take care of myself.
(CHUCKLING)
So, any intel
about Liam?
He's a nice guy. I like him.
That's it?
What kind of spy are you?
An amateur one.
But he's a professional journalist.
He might be good at keeping secrets.
Okay, Sherlock.
I had a really good walk on the land.
There was a lot of older growth
and it's gonna make a
really nice conservation area
when it's cleaned up a bit.
You'll have to take me
out with you next time.
You need to take it easy.
I need to keep living.
I will rest when I'm dead.
I ran into that fella, Danny Madore.
- Remember him?
- Danny?
(SPEAKING MICHIF)
He was out
picking sweet grass.
He was happy that the
condo plan fell through.
Of course, he was. (CHUCKLING)
Will you help me tidy up?
We don't want to miss
the Northern Lights.
Sure.
(PENSIVE GUITAR MUSIC)
Just in time. Here you go.
- Romance in a box.
- Yes.
I gotta admit,
that is a heck of a lot more
romantic than a sandwich.
Wow.
You went all out.
Oh, Maggie's gonna love this.
Thank you. I owe you.
I'm gonna go clean up the
kitchen before I head out.
Yeah.
(RESTAURANT DIN)
What's up with that guy?
Well, he's one of the youngest chefs
ever to be awarded
a Michelin star, so
Yeah, well, maybe he should go
back to his Michelin star restaurant.
He left that restaurant.
He's here because he's looking
for work and a fresh start.
I'm thinking about asking him to
take over the kitchen for a few days
so I can go get Finn in Toronto.
Are you serious?
Let me guess, you don't like him.
He's arrogant.
Hey, Finn is going to be so disappointed
that I won't let him
take the scholarship.
I figured I'll take him to Wonderland,
you know, ride a few roller coasters,
have some fun before we come home.
Yeah, just
isn't there anyone else?
(SIGHING)
No, I trust him.
Look,
I don't want to be in a power struggle
with some cocky jerk who
thinks he knows better.
You're the general manager.
It's your choice.
(INHALING DEEPLY)
Can I sleep on it?
Yeah, sure. He'll be here
for a few days, so no problem.

Okay. I don't want to

I wish I could get there today,

I've got things covered

You sure?
Look, I gotta talk to Ben when
he comes in this morning anyway.
It's probably better
that I talk to him alone.

Yeah, we're good, go.

No. I'm not wasting another minute.
I can't wait to get back to the Outpost.

All right, thanks.
- Hey, Ben.
- Good morning.
I, uh, I hope you don't
mind I brought Tracy today.
My mom got called into work a double.
Well, it's nice to see you again.
Uh, hey, Cal, can I
work on my graphic novel?
Sure, of course.
It should be in here somewhere.

(SIGHING): Yeah.
Oh, hey, it's Ben, right?
- Uh, I owe you an apology, kid.
- (SOFT GUITAR MUSIC)
- Found my watch.
- You did. That's great.
I-I shouldn't have
accused you of taking it.
That was wrong, and I'm sorry.
I'm just glad that you found it.
That's all that matters.
- Uh
- (CARD THUDDING)
- receipt?
- No.
- All right.
- Thank you.
- (DOOR SHUTTING)
- Uh, Ben, do you have a sec?
Could you give me a hand in the back?
Yeah.
Um, everything okay?
Yeah, w-why do you ask?
I had no reason, I just
I want you to know I'm
someone you can talk to.
So, if there's anything bothering you
(MELANCHOLIC MUSIC)
Uh, I guess there is
something I want to ask you.
Have you ever done something
stupid and then just
immediately regretted it.
Who hasn't?
Yesterday when I
went to go drop off
towels at Quincy's cabin.
I just saw the watch
sitting there and-and
I-I don't know what got into me.
I mean, maybe it's 'cause it reminded me
of my dad's old watch,
but I-I don't know.
I wasn't thinking and I just, I took it.
And I'm really sorry, Cal.
I appreciate the honesty.
Um, should I just get Tracy and leave?
I was thinking you could
throw some price tags on these hats.
Wait, I'm not fired?
You're not fired.
Uh, thank you.
Uh, so we're good?
Yeah. We're good.
(WOODEN GATE THUDDING)
(MAGGIE): So how are you holding up?
I'm just trying to take life as it comes
and make the most of it.
You and me both.
We can't let our lives get sidelined
by things we can't control.
Did you, uh, end up apologizing to Liam?
Uh, I was going to.
Then I saw him outside
his cabin and, um
he was shirtless and he had
these marks on his back, like,
um, keloid scars.
Keloid?
Thick, raised scars.
I don't know how he got them,
but they were not there before.
Did you ask him about it?
I left before he saw me.
I feel bad that I shut
him down in the car.
I mean, maybe he
would've talked about it.
Maggie, it's okay to have boundaries.
I know.
You just, you can't let him
waltz back into your life
- and blow things up.
- Yeah.
(APPROACHING FOOTSTEPS)
Rob.
- Yeah?
- Hey.
Breakfast was delicious.
Awesome. Thanks.
Maggie, maybe you can talk
some sense into my brother.
Hey.
About?
Well, Finn got offered a scholarship
to this incredible
Tech program in Toronto,
and Rob won't even consider it.
I have. I've thought about it a lot.
He's barely a teenager,
he needs his dad,
I need to be here.
But don't you think he should
embrace the opportunity?
All I can say is that
I didn't have the chance to
grow up in this amazing place.
Finn's lucky he has that.
(PENSIVE MUSIC)
Yes.
Yes, thank you, Maggie.
Uh, speaking of opportunity,
so I need to get to my
meeting with Dr. Rabney.
Yes, good luck. Keep me posted.
I will.
I still think you should consider it.
I already have.

- Hello?
- Hey!
Edna!
It's so good to see you.
- (CHUCKLING)
- Welcome back.

- Oh.
(SIGHING): I sure miss this place.
Aren't you supposed to be resting?
I've rested enough.
This is the new hire I
was telling you about.
Oh, uh, yeah, this is
Ben and his sister, Tracy.
- Hi, I'm Edna.
- Hi.
Nice to meet you.
I don't work here, but I
could if you're still hiring.
- (HUFFING)
- (LAUGHING)
I'll keep that in mind.
And thank you, Ben, for helping out.
I was starting to worry how
things were going without me.
Edna's the one who keeps things
running smoothly around here.
Well, uh, welcome back.
I, uh
(SIGHING): I guess you won't
be needing my help anymore?
Don't be silly. (HUFFING)
Part of running a business
is knowing how to delegate.
Frank, go work on that land application.
And Ben, head out to the woodshed
- and make sure it's stacked.
- (CHUCKLING)
And you, talented artist,
you should keep working on your artwork.
I want to know how you're really doing.
Great. Why?
Really?
Well, I heard that Maggie's
still married to Liam.
And there's no way that he's
not getting under your skin.
He wasn't.
Until yesterday.
Okay, what changed?
Turns out that he's been
holding on to this photo
of them from their wedding.
Hmm.
- Yeah.
- Well, I wouldn't worry about that.
Just get Maggie that divorce,
and you stay focused on
your life with her, okay?
(HUFFING)
Yeah. I appreciate the advice, Edna.
- Hm
- I missed you.
I missed you, too.

I'm surprised you're talking to me.
Yeah. Um
I was harsh yesterday.
I'm-I'm sorry.
I shouldn't have
snapped at you like that.
(SIGHING): It's okay.
I'm the one who should apologize, okay?
I probably could have just called
to get those annulment papers.
Showing up like I did was a bad idea.
I appreciate that.
I couldn't help but notice that
pretty nasty scar
you've got on your back.
Looks worse than it is.
I remember how you used to do that.
Do what?
You make light of something to
avoid a serious conversation.
Is that what I'm doing?
What happened?
I appreciate your concern.
But you don't have to worry about me.

Oh, and Frank's here

filling out the application
for the land conservation.
Oh, great. I'm glad
he's running with that.
Oh.
Oh no, I broke it.

This butterfly represents
you and your resilience.
And that unbreakable.
It's good to have you back.
I'll get this fixed. It's fine.
Uh, I do need to head out, though.
Can you let Cal know I have
a meeting at the hospital?
I will.
- Thanks.
- Good luck!
Thank you.
Frank!
What do you need?
(INHALING DEEPLY)
I need you to go on a
reconnaissance mission for me.
Doing what?
I need you to spend
time with this Liam guy.
Find out why he's really here.
Okay.
(INTRIGUING MUSIC)
You do know you'll have
to do another residency.
What sort of residency, exactly?
For a change of scope,
it can be condensed.
Maybe 12 weeks?
That's fine. Really, whatever it takes.
It's not about convincing me.
It's about convincing
the Board of Physicians.
Right.
And, of course, you'll have to
find someone to supervise you.
Any thoughts on who I should approach?
The most straightforward
would be through
one of the teaching
hospitals in Halifax.
It's just, it's a bit far
With Sully out of the country,
I need to keep an eye on the Crossing.
Well, then you'd have to find
a local doctor willing to work with you.
Any suggestions?
There aren't many clinics
in this area, as you know,
and the ones that are
here are overly busy, so
it might be a challenge to
find someone to supervise you.
I think I might know the perfect place.
Thank you for your time.
(HOPEFUL MUSIC)
(CLEARING THROAT)
(HEAVY BREATHING)
- Can I ask you a question?
- Sure.
How can you trust me?
Are you saying I shouldn't?
No, but
I mean, isn't it hard after what I did?
Everyone deserves a second chance.
I just don't want
Tracy to find out, okay?
Well, I'm not gonna tell her.
She needs a good role
model right now, and
I'm trying.
I can see that. Catch.

Can I start you off

Just water for now.
Sure.
Excuse me, is this the whole menu?
Yeah, uh, the chef usually
does a special for dinner.
I'd actually like to speak
to your chef about his menu.
I have some thoughts.
Sure, I'll go get him.
(SIGHING) Um, hey.
Mm-hmm?

wants to speak to you about the menu.
Okay.
Oh, my God. (LAUGHING)

Amir Malik.

- Good to see you, brother.
Yes. Good to see you, too.
Now, I hear you're over here

What? I thought you
could use the feedback.
Ah, come on. Come on.
Hey, Sydney. Come here a sec.
There's someone I want you to meet.
This is my sister, Sydney. Syd.
- Hi.
- Meet Amir.
First chef I worked with

He taught me how to not
burn risotto. Thank you.

I'm glad to hear it.
Anything I can help you with?
I'd like you to show me

if there aren't any others.
Oh, yeah.
- Lead the way.
- All right. Okay.

Hi. Um, has the doctor
returned from vacation?
He's with a patient.
I'm sure he's probably busy,
but if there's any way I
could have a few minutes
to talk with him regarding
a possible internship?
- Let me check.
- Thank you.
There's someone here to see you.
(APPROACHING FOOTSTEPS)
- Maggie!
- Quincy.
You're Dr. Carlson.
Have a seat.
I don't know how I missed
that you were a doctor.
Yeah, I kind of kept
that part to myself.
I needed a few days away from all this.
But I didn't know you
were a doctor either.
Well, I'm hoping to get my
license to practice in Canada.
And then, eventually,
open a general practice.
Where were you trained?
Boston Commonwealth.
Family practice?
I was a neurosurgeon.
Oh, wow. I was never
cut out for surgery.
Why is that?
Not enough of a cowboy.
I wouldn't say that I'm a cowboy.
You know, in my experience,
surgeons like to be heroes.
I know that general practice
will be different than surgery.
I want the change.
I'm ready for it.
I've never been more sure of
anything than I am about this.
Okay. What do you need from me?
Well, I need a doctor to supervise me
while I get experience.
And then we need to
present a training plan
to the Board of Physicians.
I see. And why my clinic?
I was here yesterday.
And it was busy, you were away.
It's got a good feeling here.
I think that you could
use an extra set of hands.
- (KNOCKING ON DOOR)
- Dr. Carlson,
- your next patient is waiting.
- I'll be right there.
Okay, why don't you go
outside, talk to Grace,
see if you could find a good
time to come back tomorrow
for a few hours and shadow me?
Uh, you'll get to see
what I'm like as a teacher
and I'll see how you
handle being a student.
- I would love that.
- All right.
- Thank you.
- We'll see how it goes.
- Okay.

- Sounds like a difficult job.
Can be.
So do you have any plans
after you're done here?
Another assignment.
Around here?
Uh, no. Europe.
Why?
Mmh. Just curious.
Something you're trying to ask me?
No. No.
You know, Frank, I can kind
of tell when people are
perhaps digging around for something.
Is that maybe why you
invited me out here?
Sorry.
My wife, Edna, wanted
me to come out here
and get a little more
information on you.
Why?
Maggie's in a good place,
and she doesn't want anything
or anyone to change that.
(MELANCHOLIC MUSIC)
I know what you all must think,
with me showing up here
like this, but believe me,
the last thing that I want
is to hurt Maggie again.
I'm glad to hear that.
- Do you play backgammon?
- Yeah.
Why?
Good, 'cause I love the game.
Thought you might want to play sometime.
Yeah. That'd be great.
That doesn't mean I'm going
to take it easy on you.
Hey, fair enough.
Want to carry on?
- Yeah.
- All right.
(CHUCKLING)
(HOPEFUL MUSIC)
Okay, so tomorrow he has patients
between noon and three o'clock,
but it's not too busy, so
that might be a good window.
- Perfect.

He's a Michelin star chef from New York.
- Hey, nice to meet you.
- Likewise.
Yeah, Amir was just giving
me some feedback on the menu.
- Mmh.
- Hey, can I get you something?
Uh, yeah, actually, I was
planning a picnic for Maggie.
I just haven't had any time
to throw a basket together.
I was kind of hoping
you'd give me a hand.
Oh, yeah, sure, no problem.
- Couple sandwiches?
- You kidding me?
(CHUCKLING): What?
Nothing says romance
like sandwiches, Rob.
You got a better idea?
Yeah. You want it to be special, right?
Why don't I make you
a charcuterie board?
A little brie, some salami,
maybe some prosciutto, and olives?
Some fruit, maybe.
That will impress her.
- (CHUCKLING)
- I'm not going to say no.
It's settled then. Leave it with me
and I'll whip something up for you.
- Appreciate that.
- My pleasure.
Nice. It's nice to meet you.
- Later, Cal.
- See you.
I'll go see if you have anything
good to work with back there.
- (DISSIPATING FOOTSTEPS)

You're gonna let him
take over your kitchen?
- (INTRIGUING MUSIC)

- Well, hmm, if you say so.
- Yeah.
Oh, I better go see if he needs a hand.
(SOFT GUITAR MUSIC)
- Hey.
- Hey!
Trace why don't you come give me a hand
with some weed whacking?
(CHUCKLING): She's been great company,
but I'm sure she wants to get outside.
Not really, I draw all the time.
She does.
She does, but she also needs
some exercise, so come on.
Bye.
- Hey, bud.
- Hey.
- Uh, can I get some coffee?
- Sure.
I need to get some beans in the back.
I'm planning a moonlight

You know, I've always
loved the outdoors.
The feeling of being connected
to something bigger than yourself?
The freedom?
Exactly.
(APPROACHING FOOTSTEPS)
Oh. Looks like we're not alone.
- Frank Cranebear.
- Well, look who it is.
Didn't expect to see you here.
Liam, this is Danny Madore.
He's an old friend of mine,
and Liam's staying up
at the Crossing with us.
Nice to meet you.
Yeah, likewise.
Well, Frank, if you're alright here,
maybe I'll, uh, head back to my cabin.
Sure. How about I come by your place
and we'll play that game
of backgammon tomorrow?
Sounds like a plan.
I thought you were out West.
Yeah, well, I kind of missed
the East Coast and, uh,
figured it was my time
to come home, you know?
Been too long.
I was just out, uh,
picking some sweet grass
for a talking circle over on the Rez.
You know
I remember coming here
when I was a kid with my
pop to do some fishing.
People had a lot more respect
for the land back then.
Mmh.
Hear they're going to
turn it into some condos.
Not anymore.
The owner gave us the land
to turn it into a conservation area.
Oh, that's great news.
Yeah, except there are all the
hoops that I've got to jump through.
(CHUCKLING)
Yeah, you gotta love
the bureaucracy, right?
I'll let the Elders
know. They'll be pleased.
Nah.
It's for you.
(SPEAKING MICHIF)
It's good to see you again.
You too, Danny.
Mwêstas.

(SIGHING)
Hello?
(CHUCKLING)
Maggie?
Maggie?
Wow.
- Hi.
- Hi.
From the looks of it, things went well.
- They did.
- Mmh.
Looks like I might be working
with our friend Quincy.
- Quincy?
- Uh-huh.
He's the doctor?
Dr. Quincy Carlson runs
the clinic at Mahone Bay.
- What are the chances?
- (LAUGHING): I know.
So, I feel like celebrating.
I'm excited for our date.
Me too.
(MOANING)
- Sorry.
- Uh
- You all right?
- Mm-hmm.
Just
All right.
Oh.
So this is what you were working on?
Yeah.
Today was an important day.
I wanted to commemorate it.
With a butterfly tattoo?
Mm-hmm.
Never thought of you as
a tattoo person, you know?
(SIGHING)
You don't like it?
I do. (CHUCKLING)
But I just I didn't expect it.
I don't know, just
trying to be a little spontaneous.
You know, keep things exciting.
You are exciting.
(CHUCKLING)
With or without a tattoo.
(SOFT GUITAR MUSIC)
(INHALING): Would you
like to take a closer look?
- Mm-hmm.
- Mm-hmm?
(SOFT GUITAR MUSIC)
- Hey.
- Hey.
See? I'm taking a little break,
'cause I know how to
take care of myself.
(CHUCKLING)
So, any intel
about Liam?
He's a nice guy. I like him.
That's it?
What kind of spy are you?
An amateur one.
But he's a professional journalist.
He might be good at keeping secrets.
Okay, Sherlock.
I had a really good walk on the land.
There was a lot of older growth
and it's gonna make a
really nice conservation area
when it's cleaned up a bit.
You'll have to take me
out with you next time.
You need to take it easy.
I need to keep living.
I will rest when I'm dead.
I ran into that fella, Danny Madore.
- Remember him?
- Danny?
(SPEAKING MICHIF)
He was out
picking sweet grass.
He was happy that the
condo plan fell through.
Of course, he was. (CHUCKLING)
Will you help me tidy up?
We don't want to miss
the Northern Lights.
Sure.
(PENSIVE GUITAR MUSIC)
Just in time. Here you go.
- Romance in a box.
- Yes.
I gotta admit,
that is a heck of a lot more
romantic than a sandwich.
Wow.
You went all out.
Oh, Maggie's gonna love this.
Thank you. I owe you.
I'm gonna go clean up the
kitchen before I head out.
Yeah.
(RESTAURANT DIN)
What's up with that guy?
Well, he's one of the youngest chefs
ever to be awarded
a Michelin star, so
Yeah, well, maybe he should go
back to his Michelin star restaurant.
He left that restaurant.
He's here because he's looking
for work and a fresh start.
I'm thinking about asking him to
take over the kitchen for a few days
so I can go get Finn in Toronto.
Are you serious?
Let me guess, you don't like him.
He's arrogant.
Hey, Finn is going to be so disappointed
that I won't let him
take the scholarship.
I figured I'll take him to Wonderland,
you know, ride a few roller coasters,
have some fun before we come home.
Yeah, just
isn't there anyone else?
(SIGHING)
No, I trust him.
Look,
I don't want to be in a power struggle
with some cocky jerk who
thinks he knows better.
You're the general manager.
It's your choice.
(INHALING DEEPLY)
Can I sleep on it?
Yeah, sure. He'll be here
for a few days, so no problem.

Uh, when I was at the Outpost,

They sent the marriage certificate?
They did. Yeah.
So now we have everything we need.
We can file the divorce paperwork?
Uh
Uh, yeah.
And they
sent the original filing
for the annulment as well.
(SIGHING)
Okay. I don't want to
read too much into this.
Into what?
You said you got married,
you regretted it,
immediately filed for an annulment.
I did.
Well, the annulment paper showed that
you waited a full year
