03x04 - Guess Who's Coming to Dinner

Post by bunniefuu »

Previously, on Cedar Cove...

Bob: You just watch him. He seems a little too friendly.

Slow, fast, I don't care, as long as I have you back in my life.

I'm going back East for a week or two.

I'm putting Alex in charge.

You're going into business with Warren Saget?

Real estate development.

Starting with Mom's.

What do you think?

It's amazing.

This is the best thing that has happened to me since I took over for Norman.

It's just a painting, Grace.

What's that?

Oh! Yeah! Well...

You know, that's amazing, too, but the Cedar Cove town photo has over 400,000 views and retweets.

That's good?

Oh, it's practically viral.

So that's good?

Oh, very good.

You know, we haven't spent a lot of time together lately.

Uh-huh...

I miss you.

Well, I'm right here.

I know a way we can spend more time together.

Yeah?

We could get married!

Oh!

If I had proposed to you and given you a ring...

Oh! Wait! I did propose to you!

But that ring still isn't on your finger.

I got a cattle auction at the end of the week.

Oh. Okay.

Be nice to see that ring on your finger before I head out of town.

What're you saying?

What you don't want to hear.

But you are hearing me, aren't you?

[♪♪♪]

So?

Do you have anything without butter or gluten?

[Moon stammers]

Coffee?

I'll have a coffee, then. To go.

And also, uh... do you know where I can find Warren Saget?

Mm. Friendly advice on that fella... you might wanna watch yourself with him.

You see, he's a...

Actually, uh, he's a crook.

I know.

I'm his wife.

Oh.

Right.

Coffee.

Yeah.

Contractor: So you got to decide if you want to sell as-is, or put some money into it to make it more marketable.

Will: Right, right.

But if you have the money, you might want to think about sprucing up the layout.

Most people aren't into formal living rooms these days.

Uncle Will?

Can I borrow you for a second?

Sure. Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

What do you need?

Have you talked to Mom about all of this?

Yeah. Talked to her at the photo thing.

You told her you were gonna gut Nana's house?

Yeah. I think so.

Look, Grandma Charlotte put me in charge of this.

Tearing down a home that's been in our family for decades?

I don't put emotion into business.

This is family and business... you can't take the emotion out of it.

Listen, I thought you'd be excited about this.

This is a real project and I really need your help.

Yes and no.

I understand if you don't want to get involved, but I really need someone to be my point person, and I really want that point person to be you.

What do you say?

Will.

What are you doing?

[♪♪♪]

Olivia! I thought you'd be happy.

That you're single-handedly taking a wrecking ball to my childhood?

Well, it's my childhood, too.

And yet you don't care.

It's a house.

Dad's gone.

Mom's on the other side of the country.

How can you be so cold?

I don't think it's your memories you're afraid of losing, it's the control.

Excuse me?

You're not running the show. I am.

Mom put me in charge.

She called me first, she told me first.

I think that's driving you crazy.

She didn't call me first because she knows I would've talked some sense into her.

Look.

It's happening. Okay?

So we need to sit down and figure out how we can work together.

We're selling this off.

[♪♪♪]

Kelly.

Warren.

I'm Alex.

Kelly. Warren's wife.

Oh.

My husband likes to hire beautiful women, and you are definitely that.

Thanks, but actually Buck hired me.

Buck told me he was working with you again.

Must be nice, father and son.

You talked to Buck?

We're family.

What are you doing here, Kelly?

I need a divorce.

Okay. I'm gonna go. Um... ahem.

Divorce, huh?

What makes me deserve the pleasure?

I'm in love, and his name is Sam.

He's wonderful.

I'm sure he is.

Why don't you tell me about Sam? What does he do?

He's a landscape architect.

So he's more of a gardener?

Architect.

No, it's more of a gardener, Kelly.

Obviously, it's a big step down for you, isn't it?

He's an artist. He's very talented.

Sounds poor.

You know money has never been that big of a deal to me.

'Cause your family is rich.

Philanthropic!

Right.

Look... you wouldn't give, I wouldn't give, so it's been five years of subpoenas, depositions, and lawyers' fees.

Enough. You win.

I told my lawyer to stand down.

So here's our old decree.

Plus all the quit claim deeds.

You can have all the community property.

You can have everything.

I just want Sam.

I had a friend pull some strings and get us on the local docket tomorrow.

If this is our old decree and you're willing to sign off on everything, all we need to do is go see a notary, not a judge.

I'm not taking any chances with this.

I want a judge to oversee it.

We need to move on, officially and legally.

So I will... [sighs]

See you in court.

[♪♪♪]

My grandfather was a carpenter.

[grunts]

Uh, my father worked in a diner.

Ran it, actually, and I'm the first one to wear a tie to work.

I need a light bulb.

You want me to change your light bulb?

Wow! You're really taking this charming, small-town innkeeper thing to the next level, aren't you?

Did you call Alex?

I'm recently divorced, so I'm not dating.

And why do you care who I'm dating anyway?

Cedar Cove is a small town.

People care for each other.

Okay.

Hey, Paul! Cookie?

Thank you.

Have a great one.

You too.

He is such a nice guy. Handsome too.

Sort of like a young Steve McQueen, or, no, Paul Newman, with those blue eyes.

Yeah. He's a rooster in a Hen House.

You need to make more of an effort.

I'm making an effort.

I'm making an effort to get him to leave Cedar Cove.

Jack can take care of himself.

Guy code.

"Guy code"?

Yeah. You gotta have each other's backs.

Who are you?

I'm Bob!

You do realize they only service that vending machine once a week?

Which is why I avoid all mayonnaise-based foods.

This, pizza, and caffeine got me through a multitude of night jobs and law school.

Moon's has a great lunch.

I am working through lunch.

Conscientious.

That...

[cell rings] ...I am.

Sorry.

It's my mother.

She's called to wish... [words catch]

Me a happy birthday.

Oh, happy birthday!

Thank you.

Aww. What are you gonna do to celebrate?

I am having a vending machine dinner, and, if I splurge, I'm gonna get a pizza.

[laughs]

I'm working late and I hate my birthday.

How can you hate your birthday?

I don't like being the center of attention.

[starts laughing]

Court is different!

Birthdays are personal.

So tomorrow's not your birthday...

No.

And you have to eat.

So why don't you come to my house?

Very casual.

Um, "Welcome to Cedar Cove" dinner.

[sing-songy]: It's happening... so I hope you come!

You hope I come to my own welcome dinner?

Yes.

[chuckles] Man.

I wish I'd seen you in action as a lawyer.

I was good!

You still are.

You like to cook?

Oh, no! The vending machine is much better than anything I make.

Oh, well, no, no, no, no.

I don't want you to go through the trouble if you don't like to cook.

It's no trouble. I'll get Grace to cook.

So, we lost this lot, too?

Yeah, unfortunately, the zoning board didn't go our way in both Cedar Cove and Cooperton.

Look, Will, it's okay. You're busy.

You got your hands full with your mother's place, right?

What are you planning on doing with it, anyway?

I'll probably fix it up, sell it.

'Course, I have to get Olivia on board.

Wow. Olivia.

Listen. Um...

Will, if I were you, I would develop that gigantic lot that has your mother's house on it.

That would make you a ton of money.

Develop, huh?

Listen, why don't we get a refill on our coffee and I'll tell you how?

[♪♪♪]

I have to say, as far as meetings go, the coffee at that particular one was...

Terrible. Yeah.

It could drive you to drink.

[laughs] Gallows humor.

Too far?

No, are you kidding me? I love it.

So how's work going?

Well, Buck left.

What? For good?

Just for a week or two.

Ahh. That means you're left alone with Warren.

I can handle him.

He is far too slippery to handle.

Look, I had a reputation on the rodeo circuit for breaking the meanest, scariest, ill-tempered horses around.

Uh-huh?

So I'm going to break the meanest, scariest, ill-tempered horse around.

[laughs] Which is, of course, Warren.

I'll strap a saddle on him.

Just give me some time.

All right, well, do me a favor first, will ya?

Yeah?

Use your spurs.

[Alex laughs] I'll see you later.

Okay, see you later.

Bye.

Hi.

Hey.

[Jack chuckles to himself]

What're you doing?

Jack, you shouldn't be here. With her.

Okay. Where should I be?

With Olivia.

Well, she's at work right now.

That's never stopped you before.

Look, Bob. Uh...

I'm trying to give Olivia a little space right now.

Well, that was last week.

This week, try no space.

What has gotten into you?

Wake up.

This... This Paul guy, you've got competition.

And give it a rest with Jessica Rabbit over there.

That's not helping anyone.

[scoffs] Don't you think you're overreacting a little?

You know, Peggy says that, uh, he looks like a young Paul Newman, or a young Steve McQueen, or both, I don't know, but one thing I do know is that if my Peggy has noticed him, she is not alone.

Well, you've certainly got an active imagination.

And for a writer, you have none.

Oh, come on, Bob.

Don't forget, it's Olivia that we're talking about here, right?

It's doesn't matter if he's up to something.

She's up to nothing.

Okay?

But look, I really do appreciate you looking out for me, I do.

I want you to start looking out for yourself.

I am.

I'm good.

Really. I am.

Hello there!

You just move in?

I did. Gloria.

Rebecca.

Linnette.

You look familiar.

I think I saw you at the court house.

Oh! Are you a lawyer?

No, cop.

I was Sheriff.

Outside of Seattle. I just transferred in.

Why?

Excuse her. She is a lawyer.

I like people who are direct.

Oh, well, you are going to love Rebecca.

Well, I better get back to it.

Those boxes aren't going to unpack themselves.

Do you want help?

No, thanks. I have it.

See you around.

It'll be hard not to... neighbors and all.

You are way too friendly.

She's nice!

How did we become roommates again?

Oh, because I have a really big TV.

Right! It is a nice TV.

It's not just the TV.

It's not... is it?

That house of your mom's is a gold mine.

We're good, right? I mean, you and I? We're good?

What's up?

If my dad could see me now.

My father was... imposing.

He and Olivia had a lot in common.

Well, speaking of fathers, my, uh... my old man went behind my back once, wrote a check to a girl I was dating at the time to get her out of my life.

True story.

That, my friend, is "imposing."

Whew.

I'd bring home women to meet him, they'd meet him, and they would run away as fast as they could.

Always?

No, not always.

I mean, there was this one woman.

Yeah?

It didn't matter what he did.

It never fazed her.

He'd be mean, she'd smile.

He was ill-tempered, she laughed.

He would thr*aten her and she would just tame him.

It was unreal, Will. Just incredible.

It's something you had to see.

There has never been anybody that has had that kind of effect on him. Nobody.

She didn't run?

No.

[sets cup down]

She married me.

Hey.

I gotta go.

Yeah.

I'll, uh...

I'll talk to ya.

Yeah. Call you later.

You got it.

Justine.

Uncle Will, what are you doing?

Hi, Justine.

Did you bring the document?

What are you doing with Warren Saget?

Why are you meeting him here?

Oh, we might do a little business together.

Look, he's a good guy.

He's a terrible guy.

I need to know that you and Warren can work together, since I'm gonna be going back and forth between here and Atlanta during the course of this project.

"Project"?

It's gonna be great.

Hey, you.

You found me.

This is, um, kind of my secret spot.

This is a park.

I think people know about it.

[laughing]

So why are you at your spot and not at your office?

Ah, one word... Jeri.

Your boss?

Oh, please.

Can you not say that out loud?

You know, I find that when I've had too much Jeri, I accidentally can't find my cell phone and I wind up here.

Hmm.

And you?

Mrs. Saget is in town.

Ahh. Buck's wife, huh?

No. Warren's.

So he is married?

Yeah.

Ahh...

There've been rumors.

She's... nice.

And married to Warren? Okay.

Sure. I'll take your word for that.

[both chuckling]

So what are you doing here? Avoiding the Sagets?

Well, Warren more than Kelly.

Warren decided to change the locks on my office door.

What?

Just games, silly games.

I have been through and survived worse than Warren, though, trust me.

So, we both have horrible bosses, but jobs we love.

Hmm.

Hmm.

Move over.

Have a seat.

Is Cliff coming over for dinner tonight?

No. He's at the ranch.

Which means...

The engagement ring needs to go on my hand.

If he loved you, he'd be more patient.

He would understand what you need to feel safe and happy, and he would recognize that it's not just about him... that what you want matters, too.

We started talking about Cliff, but not anymore.

Have you heard from John?

Yeah.

When's he coming back?

I don't know.

You stood your ground!

You want to live here.

That's what Cliff's doing.

Standing his ground.

I'm on your side.

And I'm on yours.

We all have non-negotiables in life, and Cliff's is that he just doesn't want to wait forever for me to make up my mind, and yours is that you just don't want to live in New York.

John loves you, he'll be back.

We're talking about these two men, but two completely different situations.

Put the leeks in the fridge.

Dad's.

I know.

Isn't that the book that made him want to be a lawyer?

Yes.

What made you want to be?

Dad.

Shouldn't you be at work?

I got a break in my docket.

Why don't we hang out anymore?

You know, like we used to?

You can't be serious.

No, I am. I've been here for almost a month, and you and I haven't even had dinner together.

Okay.

I will have you over for dinner. Soon.

I promise.

Did you talk to Mom?

Yeah.

Property is just that... it's property.

I don't have the same emotional ties to it as you do, but I guess I'm like Mom and you're like Dad.

And you hated it here.

No.

You couldn't wait to leave.

Well... yeah.

And I loved it.

Let me buy you out, okay?

No. You couldn't afford to.

I can get a loan, if I have to.

Look, if I sell to you, I could lose a lot of money.

A year from now, when you realize you don't want to take care of a property this size and you sell, you could triple your money.

That's not fair.

I'm not like that.

I beg to differ.

I've changed.

You don't get to tell me what to do anymore.

Sorry.

Actually... I'm not sorry.
[sighing wearily]

Is that Jeri?

It's just a voice-mail.

I love technology.

You have entire systems and apps available to ignore people you don't want to talk to.

[chuckles]

Well, listen, thank you for lunch.

Thanks for the movie.

I didn't even know that store existed.

Yeah! Although, aren't you kind of young for black-and-white movies?

I still have CDs.

I still have records.

So do I.

Really?

You got my fruit salad?

Grace! You did it!

You're engaged.

Oh! Thank you. I forgot I had it on.

I just wanted to see what it felt like.

Cliff gave me an ultimatum.

It appears my pending engagement comes with a ticking clock.

What are you gonna do?

So, you're hosting a "welcome" party for a man that isn't Jack?

If you want to change the subject, it's a dinner, and Jack knows about it and he's fine with it.

It's a nice thing to do, a professional courtesy.

[phone rings]

Ahh.

It's Will again.

Justine says he wants to renovate.

Well, have you thought about buying him out?

I wish. It would cost a fortune.

The land alone has tripled the last few years.

I just want to hold onto it long enough, just to be sure Mom doesn't change her mind.

What's your Mom say?

She hasn't been happy there since Dad d*ed.

That's a long time.

I just can't believe she can let it go.

I think you need to figure out why you can't let it go and your mother can.

And you?

Oh, that's easy.

I've already had one failed marriage.

I don't want to go two for two.

But I do love him.

An impasse, plain and simple.

You have to decide which is bigge... your fear of failing at marriage or your fear of losing the man you love.

Is there a third choice?

You don't have to come in.

Let's just get your office open.

I've got it.

[laughs] Alex, I'd at least like to try and help.

Are you a locksmith in your spare time?

Well, you know, I'm sort of a Jack of all trades.

Master of...

None.

Ahh. Look who it is.

I'm sorry I missed your wife, Warren.

You know, you're trespassing, Jack.

Open her door.

I can't. And it's your fault, really.

You see, your son left town and forgot to bring back the keys, and, well, I'm all about security here, so I thought I'd call for a locksmith.

Ah.

[bang]

[handle thuds] You know, I'm just thankful that this is as shoddy as everything else you build.

Could have done some real damage there.

I've got a bad shoulder. But you know what?

Nah.

Actually feels good.

Alex.

Warren.

[knocking]

Uh-oh.

Well... [sighing]

I just got sh*t down. Hard.

Yeah?

Yeah.

I asked for a continuance. New evidence came to light.

Which is?

That he's guilty!

You wanted Judge Thomas to sanction a fact-finding expedition and you don't even know what facts you need?

Yes, but I do have precedence...

Baker V. Robinson and Palmer V. Smith.

Yes, and your client has a sixth Amendment right to a speedy trial.

I wouldn't even let you put it on my docket, which is why I'm guessing you went to Judge Thomas.

Okay, I guess the third continuance was a bit of a Hail Mary pass, but I'm the D.A., it's my job to push limits.

[sighing wearily]

Huh. Looks like your day was as bad as mine.

Court?

Family.

Oh.

Will.

The brother.

He's occupying way too much of my brain space right now.

That isn't right.

No, that's Will.

Do you have another pair of shoes?

Yes. Why?

You can't wear heels where I'm taking you.

I'm not going anywhere.

But it's my birthday.

Oh, you sneaky devil!

Yeah! That's right.

I'm playing the "birthday" card.

You have to go.

Where do I have to go?

Therapy.

Well, therapy... my style.

Hmm.

[vehicle shuts off]

Hello there, neighbor!

Hi.

How's the move going?

[thud] Okay.

I just returned the truck and have a zillion boxes to unpack... but good.

I think you need a break!

I do?

Yes.

Okay. [laughs]

Hey, guys!

Look what I found.

I thought she could stay for dinner.

[♪♪♪]

Olivia: Now what am I doing?

We're playing golf.

It's a sure-fire stress reliever.

Oh, I shouldn't have come!

But you did.

Okay.

Okay, can we go now?

No. Not till you hit a decent drive.

I want you chipping distance to the green.

What are you talking about?

Golf.

It's ridiculous.

It's your stance.

Here. Here, here.

Okay, come over here a little.

Keep the ball in between y... a little more... in between your feet.

And shake hands with the glove.

Interlock your fingers.

You haven't played a lot of golf, huh?

No, but I dated a tennis player in high school.

Does that count?

That's not golf.

But it is a game with a ball, so... yes.

Now, remember, in golf, as in life, as in court... never take your eye off the ball.

You got this.

Mm-hmm.

Oh!

Whoa!

Oh!

Are you kidding?

You showed that ball who's boss, huh?

I did!

You liked it?

I loved it!

Oh!

Is this really how you want to spend your birthday?

This is exactly how I want to spend my birthday.

[music plays faintly]

This is nice.

Because I have had the day from hell.

Day from hell, huh?

Yeah. I did meet this nice guy, though.

I'm not used to that. Nice guys.

Yeah, well, the last guy I dated was the focus of an FBI investigation, and the guy before that was almost k*lled by the one being investigated.

That's my life. I'm not making it up.

Can I use your...

Down the hall, to the left.

Thanks.

You have got to stop bringing strays home.

Would it k*ll you to be nice to Gloria?

It might.

[knocking on door]

Pizza!

Must you be happy about everything?

Yes!

Another beer? Beer!

Ha, ha.

[contents hit floor]

I'm not saying you should go pro,

'cause the old judge thing seems to be working out for you, but you have a hell of a swing.

Thank you!

Remember...

When you're on the fairway, you drive for show...

But you putt for dough!

Exactly!

I have no idea what I just said.

But you said it well.

I know.

Uh, did you stop thinking about your brother?

I did! Thank you.

You're welcome.

Did you have a nice birthday?

Watching you eat a hot dog with a Kn*fe and fork is scrapbook-worthy.

Oh, my mother always said that I wanted to use silverware before I knew how to hold it.

That doesn't surprise me.

Uh, so my welcome dinner, tomorrow?

Yes. And Grace is gonna cook.

She's gonna make something with chips and pizza.

So it's going to be classy?

Oh, yeah.

Goodnight, Judge Lockhart.

Goodnight, Mr. Watson.

[footsteps receding]

[♪♪♪]

Oh, my God!

The look on Warren's face when you broke my door down was priceless.

Can you please come by and do that every day?

Hah! You kidding? I'll do it for free.

To be completely honest, the door thing is as much about me and Warren as it is you and Warren.

Actually, it's, uh, mostly me and Warren.

Last year, he hired my son.

He sucked him into his world.

He ended up setting him up.

He almost got him k*lled.

Wow!

Yeah.

That is the most you've shared with anyone since I started going to meetings with you.

Well, I share when I want to.

Which isn't often.

[knocking at door]

Yeah, y... Oh!

Hey, can you grab the door?

I'm just gonna get the popcorn here.

Oh! Olivia.

Hi.

[women chuckling]

Hey.

Hello there!

I'm sorry. I should've called.

No! I love that you stopped by.

I called you earlier.

I know, I missed it.

Yeah. Where were you?

I was at the driving range with Paul.

That's why I came by, I wanted to tell you about it.

I had fun.

Paul, huh?

Should I be worried here?

When Anthony and I were working together, we had lunch and dinners and played poker.

There's no difference.

Paul seems, um, different.

No.

We're different.

You and I.

And with Alex at your house?

Oh, come on, Olivia.

You don't think that there's something going on with Alex, do you?

It's not jealousy. It's trust.

I want to trust you again.

I want things to go back to the way they were.

You can trust me.

I kept saying that I thought something was off, you kept saying nothing was happening in Seattle.

But there was.

And you were drinking and lying to me and hanging out with Jeri.

Alex is in the program with me.

Oh.

I see.

She wanted me to tell you that.

She want to make sure that you didn't have the wrong idea.

I think that's great.

Really?

If having a relationship with Alex can help you through this difficult time and help you maintain sobriety, I am all for it.

It's great to hear that.

You know... there's gonna come a time when you're just gonna have to take a leap of faith here, Olivia.

Eventually, for us to stay together... you're gonna have to trust me again.

I know.

[♪♪♪]

Warren Saget is your husband?

Yes.

I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to recuse myself.

Excuse me?

He was engaged to my daughter.

Apparently while he was still married to you.

I think it's best if Judge Thomas oversees this.

I'll see that my clerk gives you a time tomorrow.

Now I just have to make sure Warren shows up.

He's been kind of dragging his heels with finalizing this.

I think the Sheriff's department can help you with that.

[chuckles]

If that's what you want.

[♪♪♪]

You look festive.

Thanks, Mom.

So what can I do?

Uh, water glasses. Double-check on those, please.

Done.

Oh, and Luke is going to be late.

Something on the boat with Derek.

Oh. Okay.

Where's Maryellen?

She's running late.

Mm. What?

I'm just worried about her and John.

Long distance. That's tough on relationships.

Speaking of tough relationships.

Warren's got a wife, she's back in town!

You knew?

You can't say?

Court?

Court!

Wow! Interesting.

Oh! If only we could talk about this!

If only I wasn't a judge.

Thank you so much for doing this, Grace.

Why am I doing it again?

Why are you doing it?

Oh, and, um, did I hear right?

You were golfing with Paul yesterday?

Small town, big mouths.

I was just blowing off some steam.

You know the whole thing with Will, and he thought it would be a good idea, and it was!

Betcha Jack didn't think it was a good idea.

We're just friends.

Men and women cannot be friends.

Oh, yes, they can.

Okay, obscenely good-looking men and women cannot be friends.

Thanks! But they can.

[door opening]

Hey, Jack!

Hi!

Hey, you two!

Oh...

You brought a date.

What...

Oh, no!

I didn't come with Jack.

We just pulled up at the same time and then walked in together.

We didn't come together.

Thank you for that very thorough explanation.

I invited Alex.

And welcome.

Thank you for coming.

Thank you.

Hi, Olivia, thanks for having me.

It's just lovely, Olivia.

This is a perfect meal to share with good friends.

That it is.

Will: Hey, sis!

Is this a bad time?

Will?

Warren?

Hello.

You having a party?

[♪♪♪]

You honestly thought that you could just walk in here and tell me that you and Warren want to bulldoze our family home, and that I would just sign off on it?

You're having a party?

Excuse me?

You didn't invite me.

This is exactly what I'm talking about when I say that we...

You're kidding. Right?

[sighs]

Paul: So...

Jack, you look like you know your wine.

I was at the liquor store and I couldn't decide between the Meritage and the Cab.

Now, you look like a "Cab" man...

Strong, bold, a hint of sophistication...

I'm a recovering alcoholic.

Sorry about that.

It's okay. You didn't know.

And I have a lots of friends who are...

Are alcoholics?

What are you still doing here?

What have I ever done to you, Jack?

You really need to ask?

Yeah. I'm asking.

Well, for starters, you almost got my son k*lled.

[chuckles] You know what?

People are so right.

You do have a flare for the dramatic, don't you?

Your son got a black eye, Jack. Get over it. He'll be fine.

Oh! Okay.

You gonna lock horns with me now?

Bring it. Let's... Do something?

I got an attorney on retainer.

That's because you're a criminal.

Stand down, plaid-boy.

You're unbelievable.

At least I'm something.

Oh, yes, you are.

I hope it wasn't anything I said, Jack.

Hi.

That needs salt.

And some flavor.

Really?

Wow.

Cheers.

Peggy: So... have you and Cliff decided on a venue for your wedding?

'Cause we'd love to have you tie the knot at the Thyme and Tide.

[chuckles uneasily]

We're still working out the details.

Well, you're engaged, aren't you?

We're moving in that direction.

Oh, look.

You're either engaged or you're not.

[uneasy chuckling]

Oh, we're just taking things slow.

Right, Cliff?

Right.

What'd I say?

Cliff.

You can't listen to what Bob says.

It's not about him.

Oh.

Don't you get it?

I don't know how to explain to people that we're engaged, but you won't wear the ring.

Yeah, but technically, we're not engaged.

Well, then, technically, I need some kind of an answer.

You okay?

Never better.

Is it the wine thing?

No. I like Paul. He didn't know.

Yeah, well, it can't be Warren,

'cause he's a tool.

Biggest in the toolbox.

But don't let him get to you, huh?

Yeah.

If he does, he wins.

Is that what you want?

Warren winning?

[both chuckling]

[Warren groans]

Justine: We need to talk.

Okay. I'm coming.

What?

Stop it.

Stop what?

Everything you're doing.

Okay. Refresh my memory.

Stay out of business with my mom and Uncle Will.

Leave Jack alone.

And you know what? Actually, just leave.

Yeah, you know, I told Will this... it's gonna be very difficult for you and I to work together,

'cause, clearly...

Justine, you still have very strong feelings for me, and I get it.

Hey, babe.

Oh, good.

It's G.I. Joe, come to save the day.

Hi!

Hi.

Luke.

Warren.

You two know each other?

Yeah. We lived together.

Really?

Yeah.

We were engaged.

Oh! I see. She didn't tell you?

[chuckling] Oh! Awkward.

Um...

Makes you wonder, doesn't it?

I hope it's nothing I said.

I don't know about you, but I can't tell what's going on here without a program.

Grace...

[choking up]: You're in my heart.

If I'm truly in yours, it wouldn't be such a big decision to put that ring on your finger.

I can't...

I just can't say yes or no right now.

This dinner is for Paul, not us.

No, this is about us.

It's business.

With Jack? Grace? Bob and Peggy?

Yes!

How is this business?

Those are your friends.

This is just like when we were younger.

What?

You telling me what to do.

Oh, Will, I am trying so hard to work with you.

By getting me to do what you want,

'cause you think you're right.

I don't.

You've always felt superior to me.

Will, that's just not true!

And you never involve me in your life.

You don't make it easy.

Neither do you.

Let's go.

We're not invited.

I'll see you in court.

Will, it doesn't have to be this way.

I will see you in court.

[♪♪♪]

I gave Cliff his ring back.

We broke up for good.

[♪♪♪]
