Maggie, you doing okay?
Don't worry about me.
Just focus on getting
Ben out of that place.
Yeah, we're still waiting
to see if they file charges.
How long until that happens?
It's 24 hours, so we
should find out later today.
But my guess is they don't have a case.
What makes you say that?
They would have to prove that
Tracy was in grave danger.
Okay. Well, let me know as
soon as you hear anything.
Yeah, I will. Uh, are
you going to the clinic?
Uh, no, well, Quincy
gave me the morning off.
Do you have a sec?
I meant to talk to you about
something before you headed out.
Uh can it wait?
Yeah, no, of course.
- Okay, all right.
- Yeah.
- Talk to you soon.
- Okay.

I heard Ben got arrested.
Is he gonna be okay?
Ugh, I don't know.
It's all so messed up.
But Cal can help, right?
I really hope so.
I should go check out the inventory.
See what we have to work with.
Uh, we haven't been
introduced. I'm Maggie.
Amir.
Maggie's father owns the camp
ground with Frank and Edna.
Um, Sydney has told me
quite a lot about you.
Uh
Don't worry. It wasn't all bad.
On that note, I should
probably get back to work.
I want to make sure we're ready
for when the guests arrive tonight.
What's going on tonight?
Uh, we're holding a fancy
dinner to raise funds
for a family that lost
their house in a brush fire.
Amir offered to cover.
- That's nice of him.
- Yeah.
Did you ever ask him about that article?
Yeah, it turns out it
wasn't as big a deal
as the internet made it out to be.
Well that's some good news at least.
Hey, why don't you and
Cal come to dinner tonight?
I invited Frank and Edna
and it might be a good idea to
help get your mind off things?
Actually, I came in because I was hoping
to get your advice on something.
Okay ?
Do you mind if we go somewhere
a little more private?
Yeah, sure. Um
Yeah, come on.
What's up?
I kissed Liam.
What?
It was when we were trying
to find Ben and Tracy and
I feel terrible about it.
I mean, finding out
what happened to Liam,
that must have really thrown you.
Yeah. It really did.
So I wouldn't beat yourself up about it.
It was a mistake, right?
(THUNDER IN THE DISTANCE)
Yeah.
Right.
How did Cal take it?
Uh, I I haven't told him yet.
Just, I haven't been able
to find the right time.
It's not gonna get any
easier the longer you wait.
Yeah, I know.
I should let you get back to work.
Are you coming tonight?
- Yeah, we'll be there.
- Okay.
(THUNDER ROLLS)
Crime doesn't see things
the same way we do.
They're maintaining that your
actions put Tracy at risk.
- Seriously? He's just a kid.
- I know.
But he's a kid with priors.
And that doesn't look good.
What are you talking about?
Ben was charged with vandalism
and shoplifting a few years back.
Those records haven't
been sealed yet, so
They can use it against him.
(BEN): Sorry, Cal.
Why didn't you tell me about that?
I-I didn't think it was a big deal.
(SIGHS)
So, what now?
We need to convince
them that Ben's changed
and that he was doing what
he thought was best for Tracy.
But I won't lie. That's
not gonna be easy.
(SOMBRE MUSIC)
(KNOCKING)
Hey. I'm glad you came by. Um, come in.
No, I'm good.
Okay.
(LONG INHALE)
What happened yesterday,
that was a mistake and
it can't happen again.
I know I crossed the line.
But I don't regret it.
Because I still have feelings for you
and I think you still
have feelings for me too.
I told you, I'm with Cal.
Maggie, what we had together was real.
You can't just pretend it didn't happen.
That was years ago, Liam.
A lot's changed since then.
I mean, I'm not the same person I was.
You sure about that, Maggie?
I I gotta go.
So I'm thinking an autumn-inspired
four-course tasting menu.
Thoughtful, elevated,
and locally inspired.
- Okay.
- Applewood smoked scallop
amuse bouche followed by a
decadent chanterelle tartelette.
And then, wild duck served two ways,
roasted and confit
with heirloom carrots.
And finally, spiced pumpkin ash cake.
Wow. That sounds pretty incredible.
(CHUCKLES)
I guess we better head to the
market to pick up some scallops.
Actually, the ones I
saw there were too small.
Is there anywhere else?
I think I know the perfect place.
Okay. Where are we going?
You'll see.
(BIRDSONG)
(SIGHS)
(MUTTERING)
(SIGHS)
- Hey.
- Hey.
Uh, how'd it go with Ben?
Uh, not good.
Turns out he had a few priors
he forgot to tell me about.
I'm just hoping that
they don't press charges
'cause they could use them against him.
- Sorry, Cal.
- Yeah, me too.
I saw Sydney at the Lodge,
she's holding a fundraiser tonight.
She wants us to come.
Oh, uh
I don't know. I've got a lot
of reading to do, I just
You still gotta eat, though, right?
All right. I guess you're right.
Hey, listen, I want to
talk to you about something.
Oh. All right, sounds serious.
What's up?
Do you remember the other
day when you called me
to tell me that Tracy was missing?
Uh, yeah, when you were with Liam.
He was in the middle of explaining
why he left and never came back.
Can't wait to hear what
excuse he came up with.
It wasn't an excuse.
I was wrong about him.
It turns out that he was taken hostage,
and he was held captive for years.
Are you sure that's true?
Yeah.
Wow, I, uh
I accused him of not taking
your marriage seriously. I
feel terrible. I guess
I owe him an apology.
We didn't know.
(SIGHS)
Yeah.
There's something else.
Hey, if it's about what I said
yesterday at the hospital
I should have known
that there's a reason
that you were so distant,
and distracted. I
I should have trusted you, Maggie.
I'm sorry.
Um
We've got a lot of work to do.
So, I'm just gonna head into the clinic.
Thought Quincy gave you the morning off?
He did, but it's uh,
it's been busy so he could
probably use the help.
Maybe.
We good?
Yeah.

(SOBBING): Why did you leave?
Why did you leave? I told you not to go!
I know, I know, I know, I know.
I know, Red, I'm so sorry.
(SOBS)
We could have been together.
We could have been happy.
I wish I hadn't left.
(KNOCKING)
I thought you weren't
coming in until later.
Uh got a lot on my mind.
Thought I could use a distraction.
Look, I'm, I'm really
sorry about yesterday.
But the hospital contacted the
police and then they called me.
I didn't really have a choice.
Maybe if we'd had a heads up,
Cal could've figured something out.
Ben is the one who took Tracy
out of the hospital without permission.
I mean, this is his
mistake, it's not yours.
I know that. But separating
him from his sister,
that's just, that isn't
right. (PHONE BUZZING)
Yeah.
Doctor Carlson.
Well, okay. Thanks for letting
me know. I'll be right there.
That was Doctor Rabney.
Tracy had a relapse.
She's back in the hospital.
This can't be happening.
Hey, Mickey!
Sydney!
What? No Rob today?
Uh, he's out of town for a little bit.
But I brought my friend Amir.
He's a fancy chef in from New York.
Oh! You don't say.
- Pleasure to meet you.
- Likewise.
Uh
(WET SLICK)
What's the matter?
You never shook hands
with a fisherman before?
Uh, no. It's all good. (CHUCKLING)
You're a good sport, buddy!
Just pulling your leg a little.
Very funny.
You got any fresh scallops for us today?
Oh, sure do. Dredged them
up early this morning.
- Great, how much?
- Fifteen for a dozen.
Six dozens for ten.
Twelve, and I'll throw in a
pair of me ol' fishing boots.
Oh, you're just too easy, b'y!
(EXHALES)
Ten's good.
Great.
- Here you go.
- Okay.
It's a pleasure doing business with you.
- (WET SLICK)
- (CHUCKLES)
Okay.
Give me a minute.
(CHUCKLING)
You need to wash your hands, city boy?
I thought you'd never ask.
Come on, I'll show you the way.
Tracy's foster mom brought her in
when she noticed Tracy
was acting unusual.
Turns out her fever spiked.
And how's she doing now?
We've got her on stronger antibiotics.
That seems to have done the trick.
That's a relief.
But we're gonna keep
her for observation.
Okay, let's go see her.
Actually, Maggie, could
I have a word with you?
Sure. I'll be right there.
What's up?
To be honest, I'm a little surprised
that you didn't call me when you
found out Ben had taken Tracy.
I knew you'd be forced to report it.
What if Tracy's fever had spiked
when she was still out there with Ben?
That could've been dangerous for her.
You would've put Tracy at
risk, as well as this hospital.
You should've told me, Maggie.
I'm sorry.
So you never told me why you
decided to become a gourmet chef.
I've always been drawn to the
more artistic side of cooking.
Creating unique dishes
that exceed expectations.
It's so gratifying to see
the look on someone's face
when they take that first bite.
It must've been really hard for you
to walk away from your restaurant.
I spent years chasing that star.
But then when I finally got it,
I looked in the mirror and
realized I wasn't happy.
Yeah, I understand. Felt
that way when I was modelling.
When did you stop?
When Rob lost his wife Sarah.
I needed a change.
And he needed help with Finn.
Do you miss it?
Not really.
Everything I love is here.
(SOFT MUSIC)
So what's next for you?
Not sure yet.
Still weighing my options.
But this place is
starting to grow on me.
So who knows.
Well, we'd better get
you back to the Lodge.
You've got a lot of cooking to do.
Yeah. I do.
(SIGHS)
You know, um, Danny invited us
to attend their weekly circle.
And it's today.
I haven't been to one for a
long time. Thought we could go.
What about the store?
Well, we'll just put a sign
out. We won't be gone that long.
(SIGHS)
Okay.
Let's just make sure we're home in time
for the fundraiser tonight.
So you're not going to fight me on this?
I could really use some healing today.
Okay, I'll go I'll go call
Danny, tell him we're coming.
Doctor Carlson. How is she?
Slight fever. But otherwise, she's fine.
Why don't you go in, say hello?
I'm gonna update the foster mother.
Okay.
Hey.
I don't want you here.
(SIGHS)
This must be so hard on you, Tracy.
I just want to make
sure you're doing okay.
I miss my brother.
Cal's doing everything he can to help.
I don't want to stay
with the foster family.
I want to be at home with Ben.
Yeah, I know.
I understand how hard it can be
to be separated from
the people that you love.
My mom took me away from my
dad when I was just a kid, too.
That's not the same.
- Tracy
- This is all your fault!
Go away!
I don't want you here.
Go away!
(QUIET SOBBING)
Okay. Um
(KNOCKING)
Sedona?
Surprise.
What are you doing here?
I'm sorry, I should've
I should've called you first.
Is everything okay?
(SHAKY BREATH)
I think my marriage is over.
What?
(SOBBING)
I'm sorry for dropping in
on you like this, again.
I am always here for you
no matter what, Sedona.
You got that?
Thank you, that means a lot.
I just don't get it. I mean,
you and Chris seemed so happy.
We were.
What changed?
I guess we just got wrapped up
with work and the kids and
forgot to focus on our relationship.
You know how it is.
One day someone wakes up and
thinks the grass looks greener
on the other side of the street.
Wait he cheated on you?
(SIGHS)
All right, there are a lot
of things that I can forgive,
but that is just not one of them.
Things are not always
all black and white.
You know, no one's perfect.
What matters is that you own up
to the mistakes when you make them.
You're right. I'm sorry.
Um, and, I'm actually really tired.
Do you mind if I go lay down for
a bit? I haven't checked in yet.
- Yeah, sure, go ahead.
- Thanks.
(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
Frank! Edna! Hey, I'm
glad you guys came.
- Here you go!
- Aw, you didn't have to do that.
You didn't expect me to
come empty-handed, did you?
Oh, wela'lin. (CHUCKLING)
My pleasure.
Msit No'kmaq. All my relations.
Wela'lin.
You remember Frank and
Edna from the Crossing?
(SPEAKING MI'KMAQ)
She says that she's
happy that you and Sully
were helping to take care of the land.
Mm.
(SIGHS) Are all these kids from here?
Some. Some are from the city,
and they're just here to
connect with their heritage,
learn the language, and be on the land.
That's good.
Unfortunately, we don't have enough room
to accommodate as many
children as we would like.
(SPEAKS MI'KMAQ)
Oh, they're starting
the circle. Weje'wet.
(RHYTHMIC DRUMMING)
Msit No'kmaq.
- Msit No'kmaq.
- Marsee.
Got a couple of chairs for you here.
Thanks.
(SPEAKING MI'KMAQ)
Today is a very special day.
We have two special friends joining us.
(KNOCKING)
Cal.
What's going on?
I want to talk to you.
- Yeah, listen
- Just hear me out.
Maggie told me what happened.
- She did?
- Yeah.
And I feel terrible.
I don't understand.
I owe you an apology.
I shouldn't have misjudged
you, I just, I guess
I was angry. Because I thought
you never cared about Maggie.
I didn't know what you
went through and I'm sorry.
You, you don't owe
me any apologies, Cal.
Sydney is throwing a fundraising dinner
at the Lodge tonight.
I'd really like it if you came with us.
That's really not necessary.
I'm not taking no for an answer.
So it's the least I can do.
If you insist.
I do.
Is the jacket a bit much?
You look great.
Thank you.
How's the cooking coming?
Good. Um, I'm a little nervous.
Why?
I want this night to be successful.
Well, if it tastes half
as good as it smells,
I'm sure everyone will be thrilled.
You have nothing to worry about.
(CHUCKLES)
Is that for the scallops?
It is, but don't judge it.
I haven't finished plating yet.
Can you, uh, show me how to do that?
Yeah, sure, come here.
- Okay.
- Just right around there.
- Oh.
- Oh!
That's a little too much.
- Yeah.
- (CHUCKLES)
More like this.
Come close.
There.
You have to be delicate and precise.
Nice job.
Uh I'd better go
update that rental order.
I invited a few more people.
Okay.
Yeah.
(SOFT MUSIC)
(PHONE RINGING)
Hey.
Hey, I wanted to check in.
Any updates from the attorney?
I'm still waiting.
Hey, I wanted to let
you know, Sedona is here.
- Is it your dad?
- No, it's Sedona.
Her husband cheated on
her. Can you believe that?
Didn't expect that from him.
That's terrible.
Yeah, I know.
I, um how's it going at work?
Tracy's in the hospital.
Her fever came back.
Well, is she gonna be okay?
Yeah, it's under control.
They're just keeping
her there to be safe.
This could be bad for Ben.
All right, I need to call
his attorney. Let him know.
I'm sorry, Cal.
All right, bye.
All right, so we'll need two
flower arrangements per table,
just off centre.
Anyone tell you you clean
up real nice, Shandon?
Once or twice.
Wow, it looks so beautiful in here.
I can't tell you how much
this means to the Lyndsays.
Glad to help. I should
go check on the duck.
Okay.
So, uh, where should I set
up for the silent auction?
Oh, I was thinking the two
tables over by the window.
Perfect, I'll just grab
my stuff from the car.
Okay.
Cooper?
Hi.
You're here early.
Well, I figured you could
use some extra hands.
Um, yeah, maybe you could help me
take the extra tables
and chairs out back?
- Consider it done.
- Okay. Thanks.
Gents? Let's go.
(WAVES CRASHING)
- Hey.
- Hey!
I heard what happened.
I'm so sorry, Sedona.
Yeah. Well, Cal told me you've
got a lot going on too, so.
You know. What doesn't kill
us makes us stronger, right?
Have you figured out
if you want to work
things out with Chris?
I me Yeah, I do. But it's
really Cal I'm worried about.
Why?
I just think he's taking this Ben
and Tracy situation really hard.
And I think it's hitting him
a little too close to home.
Yeah.
Cal never really talks
about his childhood.
Yeah, I know. I think
it's too hard for him.
He blames himself for not being
there for us when we needed him.
(DOOR OPENS)
Hey.
Oh good, you're back.
Yeah, we were just catching up.
Uh, I spoke with Edna.
Your cabin's not gonna be ready
until after the fundraiser.
But you can get ready here.
I, I invited Sedona to join us tonight.
Yeah, it's a good idea.
- You go first.
- You sure?
Yeah, I could use a minute.
Thanks.
(DOOR OPENS, SHUTS)
(SIGHS)
Did you get a hold of Ben's attorney?
I did, yeah.
Turns out Tracy's relapse
gave them exactly what
they needed to file charges.
I'm sorry, Cal.
Yeah.
Me too.
Uh, I'm gonna go get ready.
(LOON CALL)
(DISHES CLATTERING)
- Okay.
- All right.
The guys are pretty well done
packing everything into the shed.
Oh, that was fast.
Yeah, well, we work well as a team.
That dress really suits you, by the way.
Thanks. It was a gift from
a designer friend of mine.
It's beautiful.
Hi! We haven't med, I'm Amir.
I'm helping Rob out while he's away.
Cooper.
Cooper's the fire chief
over in Timberlake.
- Ah.
- Nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you.
Amir and Rob used to work
together back in the day.
Well, I better get back
and check on the guys.
- So, see you.
- (SYDNEY): Okay.
- He seems nice.
- Yeah.
Something going on between you two?
No, no. We're just friends. Why?
Just curious. Seemed
like he was into you.
If I didn't know any better,
I'd think you were jealous.
Don't you wish?
(LOON CALL)
(SOFT MUSIC)
You know, it was good to be
able to get some stuff off
my chest at the circle today.
(YAWNS)
Are you tired?
A little.
You still up for that fundraiser?
Yeah.
You sure? 'Cause we don't have
to go if you don't want to.
You've been looking forward
to this all day. I'll be fine.
Just promise me one thing, will you?
What's that?
You won't leave me sitting on my own
while chat with somebody all night.
I never do that!
Hmm.
(CHUCKLES)
Okay, I promise.
I'll get our coats.
Hey.
You thinking about Ben?
Yeah.
I just don't understand
why he wouldn't tell me about
his prior charges, you know?
Maybe he was scared.
Didn't want to disappoint you.
Maybe.
Uh
I was hoping we could talk.
As long as it's not any more bad news.
Just not sure I could
handle that right now.
(KNOCKING)
Hey. Are you ready to go?
Think I'm gonna need a bit more time.
But, uh, why don't you two go ahead?
You sure? I don't mind waiting for you.
Yeah, no. Go ahead. I'll be fine.
Okay. We'll save you a seat.
Okay.
Thank you so much for coming.
Cal!
- Hey!
- So glad you decided to come.
This is my sister Sedona.
I don't think you two met
last time she was here.
I don't think we did! I
may have been in New York.
Uh, I didn't realize you were in town.
Uh, it was a last-minute decision.
Well, it's nice to finally meet you.
Is Maggie not coming?
Uh, yeah, she's just getting
ready. She'll be here soon.
Okay. Dinner's not being
served for a little while.
We're starting with
drinks and appetizers
so people have time to place
their bids in the silent auction.
Oh, I love silent auctions.
I will be right back. (CHUCKLES)
I hope it's okay I brought Sedona.
She's going through a tough time,
I didn't want to leave her home alone.
Of course. No, it's no trouble
at all. We have plenty of food.
I'll just ask the servers
to add another place setting.
Another place setting.
Ah, I should probably tell
you I invited Liam, then, too.
Liam? Really?
Yeah, I thought it'd be a nice gesture
considering everything
he's been through.
So, Maggie told you about that?
Yeah.
And is that everything she told you?
Is there something else I should know?
Uh you know what,
I should probably go help
Amir with the appetizers.
(SOFT MUSIC)
I'm thinking of you again ♪
Maggie, what we had together was real.
You can't just pretend it didn't happen.
Every thought is a heartbreak ♪
Your waves hit like an earthquake ♪
You keep coming back here
but you left me long ago ♪
Oh my gosh, it's gorgeous!
Edna!
Oh, hey! (CHUCKLING)
Thank you for being here.
Oh, I wouldn't have
missed it for the world.
Edna still hasn't forgiven me
for making her miss the grand opening.
Well, you're in for a special
treat tonight. Follow me.
All right, right here.
Thank you. Hi!
I'll have a server come around
and take your drink orders.
Thank you.
Carol! I didn't know
you were coming tonight.
Well, it's been a long time.
What a coincidence.
I can't wait to hear
everything you've been up to.
Isn't that right, Frank?
Mhmm.
You okay?
What's taking Maggie so long?
I'm sure she'll be here any minute.
Yeah.
(SIGHS)
So for our first course
we have locally sourced
applewood-smoked
scallops, with pickled
(CHATTERING)
Perfect. Table three.
Everything looks delicious.
How's it going? Everyone
having a good time?
Yeah, it's a full house.
And the silent auction
seems to be going well, too.
Do you need a hand with anything?
Actually, if you have a minute,
can you follow me to the kitchen?
Okay?
What's going on?
You deserve a break. I
can take it from here.
I should be out there
helping you with the guests.
Eat.
I got this.
I don't know what to say.
I can't remember the last time
anyone has done something
this nice for me.
Enjoy.
(PHONE BUZZING)
- Hey, Rob.
- (ROB): Hey, sis.
I wanted to let you know
that I took your advice.
I'm letting Finn accept the scholarship.
Really? He must be over the moon.
This is gonna be an
incredible opportunity for him.
Listen, I know how you feel about Amir,
but it'd help me out a lot if he stayed.
I think that's a great idea.
I didn't expect you to feel that way.
Well, turns out Amir's
a really nice guy.
And we make a great team.
I thought you didn't like him?
Yeah, what can I say, he grew on me.
(SIGHS)
You just got out of a relationship, Syd.
I know.
Trust me, you don't want to go there.
Wait, what do you mean?
I, I don't want to bad-mouth the guy.
Let's just say he's got a bit of
a reputation of being a player.
Hey, Syd, look, I gotta
go. I'll call you later.
(EXHALES)
Hey, Red.
What are you doing here?
Uh, I guess Cal didn't
tell you he invited me?
No.
He came by my cabin
earlier to apologize.
For what?
He felt guilty after finding
out what happened to me, which,
I didn't realize you
were gonna tell him that.
Yeah, I thought he should know.
Why?
Cal and I don't keep
secrets from each other.
So then you told him about our kiss?
(CAL): What kiss?
Cal, I can explain.
I've heard enough.
(SIGHS)
