01x06 - Eyewitness Blues

Post by bunniefuu »

Oww!

What?

Are you insane?

Stop. Stop it.

Elaine?

I've been attacked.

That g*ng of lunatics were

sh**ting blueberries at me.

Elaine Denton reporting live

from Port Wenn,

inside the offices

of Doc Martin Victim.

Whatever that is,

we don't have time for it. Okay?

We have a packed schedule,

and I need you

to secure the perimeter.

Unaware that his first patient

was already in the exam room,

Doc Martin was apparently

also unaware of the fact

that this weekend is

the Annual Blueberry Festival.

A tragic turn of events

for a tragic man

named Doc Martin,

who was a doctor.

I just love

the Blueberry Festival.

The street fair,

the tarts, the pies.

Stop talking

and open your mouth.

I'm gonna be getting in the vat

and stomping blueberries

to make wine.

Not with this foot fungus,

you're not.

I'm deathly allergic

to blueberries,

but I wanna eat,

like, a lot of pie.

So can you give me a pill

that makes it okay?

- Yes, of course.

- Really?

No. That way.

All right, Elaine, we only have

five minutes for lunch,

so why don't you go out

and get

Where is everyone?

Faced with an empty

waiting room,

Doc Martin finally had room

to feel empty.

Will you stop with that voice?

I have to get

this reporter thing right.

I'm covering the Blueberry

Festival on my live stream.

I want it to look professional.

And dressing up

as Newscaster Smurf

screams professional.

We have eight patients

this afternoon

and my aunt's supposed

to be next.

- Where is she?

- Yeah, everybody cancelled.

No one is going to the doctor

on a Friday afternoon

during the Blueberry Festival.

Actually, shouldn't you be

getting ready too?

Ready for what?

You're gonna be a judge in

the big blueberry pie contest

tomorrow?

- Oh, no, I'm not.

- Okay, but you are.

'Cause Dr. Reese was

always a judge.

Yeah, but I'm not Dr. Reese.

I am here with

a local old, old man

who is disoriented and confused.

He thinks that he can ignore one

of our most beloved traditions.

Beloved traditions? Please.

You people would throw a parade

at a new stoplight.

I'm not a pie judge.

- I'm a physician.

- Where are you going?

I'm going to see my next

scheduled patient.

More on this developing story

as it develops,

reporting alive from over here

by my desk.

I am Elaine Denton

for Eyewitness Blues.

That was it. That was it.

Okay. All the festival booths.

Yep.

They're going right there.

And Oh, my eyes.

All right, now, doc.

All right now.

Hey, good morning.

Got something for you.

See at the pie contest,

Judge Martin.

Okay, okay, and the dunk tank,

it's going right over there.

Uh, hey, sorry.

Give me a second.

Damn! Ah!

Uh, this

Oh!

Oh, will you stop following me?

Just go away.

Put that down,

it's not mine. Shoo!

Well, good morning to you.

Uh, good morning.

Perfect weather for the

festival, wouldn't you say, hm?

You seem to be taking it

very seriously.

My favorite time of year.

But doesn't all that bother

your skin or your eyelids?

All that face paint.

- Face paint.

- Hm.

What face paint?

Well, Martin,

what a nice surprise.

And you're just in time

for lunch. Mwah!

Not here for lunch.

Oh, you're just dropping by?

Well, good.

I've just been thinking that we

should spend more time together.

And look, now, here you are.

I've come here to give you

your physical.

What?

Your file says,

you haven't had a checkup

in three years.

Why don't you hop up

on the counter

and we'll take a look at you?

Oh, you gotta be joking.

There's nothing funny

about a 73-year-old woman

avoiding her annual urinalysis.

Now, up you go.

If you think I'm going to

let you examine me

in my own kitchen,

then I'm gonna have

to fillet you

with my boning knife.

Aunt Sarah, I need you

to take this seriously.

You may be my doctor,

but you're also my nephew,

and right now,

we're having lunch.

So wash your hands.

Honestly.

You know, they've asked me

to be a judge

at the pie contest with you.

And I said yes, I thought

that that would be fun.

I hear that Elizabeth Evans

is making some kind of

blueberry meringue

or something like that.

Are you really taking

all these medications?

Well, two of them are

for my high blood pressure,

and the rest are, I don't know

Osteoporosis,

acid reflux, high cholesterol.

Good God, woman,

you're a ticking timebomb.

A-and this fried fish for lunch

isn't helping

the situation either.

Have you thought about

getting some exercise?

Maybe some leafy greens

in your diet?

Dr. Reese told me to avoid

the leafy greens

because they might

interact badly

with my blood thinner and

I might pass out or something.

And kale tastes like crap.

There's a new medication

on the market

that won't have

those complications.

I'll write you a prescription.

In the meantime,

we're gonna have a chat about

skipping medical appointments

at your advanced age.

If you're gonna continue

to play doctor,

I don't wanna eat lunch

with you, so get out.

Just go.

See you at the pie contest.

I'm not judging the pie contest.

Fine, then, I won't see you

at all.

Fried fish is delicious.

Oh, Judge Martin,

what do you prefer,

flaky pie crust or puffy?

You lost me a judge.

Judge Martin,

do you enjoy

a latticework topping?

I don't trust myself to do

a leaf pattern

I'm not judging the pie contest.

- Oh!

- Martin. Hello.

Where are you headed?

Well, I'm on my way

for some lunch,

but it seems like

blueberry mania

has swallowed this town whole.

Right.

Well, that time of year.

Which reminds me,

I've been wondering

um, if you happen

to like cinnamon.

I'm scared to ask. But why are

we talking about spices?

Or maybe vanilla or caramel.

Little ribbons of caramel

wrapping gently

around your tastebuds.

Oh, no, Louisa, not you too.

I'm sorry, I'm not gonna be

judging the pie contest.

I guess I'm just another

desperate pie baker

looking for an edge.

- You've all lost your mind.

- Maybe.

But this is a big deal

in this small town.

I mean, it's-it's nice.

It's tradition.

It's competitive.

Yeah, it's also high

in fat and sugar.

Yeah, but first place is

a little blue crown.

But Barry Hammers always wins.

Always. He always takes first.

Always.

Now the real competition in

Port Wenn is for a second.

Oh, wait. What about ginger?

You know, I mean, that's an

interesting combination, right?

With the blueberries.

Louisa, Louisa, Louisa,

I am not gonna be judging.

Judge Martin, do these

berries look fresh to you?

Am I crazy if I add mint

to my pie?

No, no, no.

Listen up, everyone.

I am the town doctor and

my only concern is your health.

So you can skip

your appointments

and ignore your well-being,

but I will not be deciding

the winner of your ridiculous

contest, because I don't care.

Consider the ginger.

We'll talk about it later.

Delighted to have you in

for lunch, doctor.

It was either this

or be force fed

blueberries in the parking lot.

I wanna take the garden salad

with chicken, please.

Unfortunately, we don't have

the garden salad today.

- I am so sorry.

- All right.

- Uh, steam fish.

- No, not that either.

- Shepherd's pie then.

- Hmm. Wouldn't that be lovely?

We're out of that one too.

What do you have in the kitchen?

Today, in the kitchen,

we have Greg.

- It's this pie contest madness.

- Oh, no.

Oh, yeah, every year he decides

that he's the chef,

that he can cook.

- And yet

- No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

I chilled this dough.

I swear I did.

- It's not fair.

- I'm not allowed in there.

I'm a pie contest judge.

Conflict of interest.

And, yes, I heard that you

stepped down from your post.

God knows who they're gonna

get to replace you.

It's gonna be a long weekend.

Ah, but we still might have

one last tuna salad

in the back fridge.

- I hate mayonnaise.

- Oh, beggars can't be choosers.

I'll go check.

Tuna salad is delicious.

Lots of mayonnaise.

Uh, I-I-I'm sorry, uh, you

I have to ask.

You're blue. All of you.

And no makeup.

You're just blue.

It's because of all

the blueberries I eat.

You're joking.

You're not?

Uh, no, you can't be serious.

Blueberries wouldn't

Yo, that's on me.

Yo, I'm so sorry.

Totally, totally my fault.

I just couldn't see you

because my eyes.

Let's have a look.

Put your head back.

Okay.

I-I think everything's fine.

It's just allergies.

Happens every year.

How about you let me

make the diagnosis

and you stick to being an idiot?

- Seems fair.

- You need to come to my office.

I can't, doc. I gotta go

set up the dunk tank.

Yes, I suppose a dunk tank

is more important

than you going blind.

Come on. This way.

Okay.

No, this way.

The other way, Mark.

This way.

Ah!

Yes.

It's ready.

Okay, that's good.

So just like, keep my face

in frame all the time.

- Yes.

- Like, I'll stay, but

Shoo! Go, go, shoo!

You know, they replaced you

on the judging panel

with Bert.

Ooh. Big mistake.

You do not wanna give my dad

that much power.

Power? It's a pie contest.

Oh, come on, doc.

You know, everything here

is just so nice

and people are so sweet.

We just need one day a year

to be, like,

really competitive and vicious.

Like "The Purge,"

but with blueberries.

All right, well, the eye drops

and the warm compress

should help your eyes some,

but I strongly suspect

you have Reiter's syndrome.

- Really?

- Mm-hmm.

I haven't written anything

all week.

Maybe a parking ticket.

And in my dream journal

R-E Reiter's syndrome.

Is is it painful to urinate,

Mark?

Typically people suffering

from Reiter's

can't see, can't pee,

and can't climb a tree

due to untreated chlamydia.

Chlamydia? Chlamydia?

- The STD Chlamydia?

- Yes.

How many sexual partners

have you had

since your breakup with Louisa?

I don't know, like four, five

eight

- I think nine.

- My friend Gretchen.

- Ten.

- Debbie

Eleven.

- Ugh!

- Come on, doc.

You know what it's like.

Big man, small pond,

all the fish jumping

into my net.

- You get it?

- Yeah, I'd rather not.

So you need to notify

each of your sexual partners

of their exposure.

Wait, doc. Notify them?

Like, tell them that

I might have given them

That they might have chlamydia?

Exactly.

And this will clear up

the infection.

Prescription for doxycycline.

No. No. Wait, doc.

Doc, wait.

So, like a prescription that

I need to, like, go get filled?

Yes. I assume you know

how these things work.

Elaine, I'm going out

to get some food,

and nothing is gonna stop me.

Okay, I guess I have to

Somebody's gotta pick up meds

from their mommy.

Shut up, Al.

Yes, sir.

That's Barry Hammers.

That's our Blue-Barry.

Get it?

Blue-Barry.

Here's your coffee, Judge Large.

- No charge, of course.

- Thank you.

And he's the one

who wins first place

in the pie contest every year?

- Him?

- Yeah.

He-he's basically

the Blueberry Festival mascot,

a master baker, and he's blue.

That's because year in,

year out, all he eats

Now, that's ridiculous.

You could eat every blueberry

on the planet.

- It wouldn't turn you blue.

- You know, I turned orange

when I was on that carrot diet.

- It's not the same thing, Bert.

- Tell that the Blue Barry.

Judge Large, almost done

with your complimentary

oil change.

Oh, thanks, Billy.

And, hey, tell the missus

I'd love

to get my backyard weeded.

No, there must be something

wrong with him.

Some condition,

and he's using a

Leave him alone, doc.

Poor old Blue Barry looks

a hell of a lot better now

than when we were

in high school.

Scary Barry.

He was a real fright back then.

Scary Barry?

Why did they call him that?

- Well

- Hey, Bert, your car's all done.

Excuse me.

Pie business.

Hey, Billy,

how's the bacon coming?

You know, the bottom's

still soggy

Oh, Martin, hi.

I've been looking for you.

I just wanted to apologize

for being so forward

about the pie contest earlier.

I just think that maybe

my ambition got best of

Why is this contest

so important to you?

Oh, well, um

I've always loved to bake.

And in the past, I, I couldn't

really try my best

because I couldn't

outshine Sally,

my future mother-in-law.

Former future mother-in-law.

I-I always had to wallow

in third place

and let her take second

year after year.

But now, the gloves are off.

You know,

I'm not with Mark anymore,

and I've got a brand-new baking

trick up my sleeve, and

I don't know, I just feel like

maybe if I could just bust out

of third place,

that maybe I could get everyone

to see me in a new light.

You know how small towns

can put you in a box,

give you a label?

You're the spinster.

You're the idiot.

- You're the grump.

- Pie judge.

Exactly.

And you?

You're the

- Heartbreaker.

- Hm.

Well

it does seem like

a colossal waste

of time, energy, and food,

but I suppose

these little contests

do help to distract people

from the dreary realities

of living in a dead-end town.

Hmm.

Well, thank you for that.

Um, but this contest

actually really means

something to me.

You know, especially this year

when, uh, when I'm trying

to prove to myself, actually,

that I can, can be

more than I thought I could.

Now, listen, Johnny.

I let you off the hook

last week twice

because you were filling

mailboxes with fish heads.

All right? No!

So you're gonna do

this for me, okay?

- Here.

- Dude, this is crazy.

Your name's on the prescription.

The pharmacist is your mom.

Okay, but she's really busy,

and she may not notice. Okay?

Here, come on.

I'll give you my handcuffs.

I'm not gonna do it.

Your eyes look super grody.

Shut up, Johnny! Huh?

Yeah. Your little baby bike!

Sally.

What's supposed to go

right here?

Oh, that's for

my next trophy, of course.

Oh, but you're a judge

this year.

We should not be talking about

the pie contest.

Okay, here.

Let me ring you up.

With the new prescription,

that is $127.90.

What? $127 a month?

What the hell?

Well, it's this

new blood thinner

that Dr. Best puts you on.

It's very pricey.

No, no, no, I'll just stick

to the old one.

I'm not paying that.

Well, you do have

one refill left.

Should I call Dr. Best

to make sure it's okay?

No, no, I'm keeping him

out of my personal health issues

from now on.

He comes to lunch and brings

his stethoscope.

Ooh! Is it cold on your skin?

I bet Dr. Best has

very warm hands.

Sally. He's my nephew.

All right.

$21.45 then.

- Okay.

- Oh, hi, honey.

- What brings you in?

- Oh, hey, hey, ma.

Can't really talk right now.

I have this developing

crime situation

down on Lincoln.

Um, I just need to fill

this prescript

real fast.

No biggie. No diggity.

- Did Louisa do this to you?

- No, mom, stop.

What is it?

Gonorrhea? Syphilis?

The big H? The little H?

No, no, it has nothing do,

nothing like that.

And Louisa

has nothing to do with it.

It's

It's

It's chlamydia.

Chlamydia?

Well, that's not so bad.

Everybody's had chlamydia,

sweetheart.

At least it's not the crabs.

Crabs are so much worse.

Looking down and seeing those

little monsters snapping at you.

Who gave this to you?

Was it that Gretchen?

Elaine's friend,

the one with the face?

They all have faces

Oh, yeah, sounds right.

- She's awful.

- No.

I don't know. I don't know!

Honey, relax.

You're a single man now.

Something like this

was bound to happen.

I'm actually proud of you

sowing your wild oats.

And until this antibiotic

kicks in,

a good place to dip your doinker

for a few minutes every night

is a nice cold glass of 7-Up.

Mom, stop!

- Hm.

- Really?

Yeah, honey.

Something about the bubbles.

It's better. This is

Ah! You're not supposed

to be here.

I'm still getting ready

for tomorrow.

I'm so sorry. Should I come back

at a better time?

Yeah, actually.

This is a mess.

Al can't be my cameraman

anymore.

He has to run the dunk tank

tomorrow

at the street fair.

What are you doing here?

I'm looking to see if Dr. Reese

ever treated Barry Hammers.

I need to understand

why that man is blue.

Something could actually

be wrong with him.

A whole half day off, and you

can't stop doctoring.

Not gonna find any files

on there for Barry Hammers.

- I'm not?

- Blue Barry?

He was never a patient here.

Like, ever.

Someone actually told me

Was it Irma?

I think it was Irma.

Was it Irma? I don't know if

it was Irma specifically.

- Irregar

- Told you what?

Irma says that Blue Barry

had some kind of horrible

medical condition

when he was in high school.

He had to be seen by some

specialist in Bar Harbor.

- A specialist?

- Yeah. Okay, listen, listen.

You're gonna be my cameraman

tomorrow at the festival.

Oh.

I most certainly

will not be doing that.

Al is out. You're the only

option that I have left.

And I'm covering the festival

from 9:00 a.m.

to midnight tomorrow, so please

wear some comfortable shoes.

Not these.

For the last time,

I will not be attending

or participating in

this godforsaken festival.

What?

What? What-what is this look?

No, I just

I would just like to remind you

that there are certain things

that I'm doing.

Certain blood things

that I am doing.

For you.

Things that I may not

want to do,

but that I do anyway.

So, maybe

you could do something for me

that you don't wanna do.

This is blackmail.

You are blackmailing me.

And remember,

this is the good side

of my face.

Doc Martin and Elaine's office.

How can I help you today?

Oh, yes. Okay. Yes.

The doctor is needed

at the Salty Breeze.

Somebody has burned their hand.

And I will see you tomorrow

at the Blueberry Festival

at 9:00 a.m.,

live from Port Wenn.

Have a safe evening.

And goodnight.

He's been baking

around the clock,

not sleeping, not being careful.

It'll be fine.

But what isn't fine

is people getting injured

because of a pie contest.

No, you can't wrap it up

too much.

I need my hand all day tomorrow.

I have to bake.

- Do you hear what you're saying?

- I have to bake.

You're having

a nervous breakdown

over a pie contest.

I have to bake.

Greg, honey, this pie contest

is giving you an anxiety attack.

But won't it be worth it

if I win?

No.

All year long, all I hear about

is George's lobster rolls

and George's chowder.

I People just see me

as the money guy,

some silent partner,

George's less creative

other half,

but I'm more than that.

Can't you just give him

a sedative?

Everyone in this town needs

a sedative.

I can't win the pie contest.

Barry will win.

- Barry always wins.

- Always wins.

But for once, I'd like to

just place second,

third, honorable mention,

tartest filling.

It would prove that

I can make things, too.

That I'm good with my hands.

- Just not this hand.

- I know.

I should be happy for

all of Barry's success.

Irma told me what

a troubled youth he had.

Wait, what do you mean by that?

Just how he rose above

all his medical issues

to become this local legend.

I was a troubled teen, too.

In high school,

the football team locked me

in the janitor's closet

after I highlighted my hair.

Where's my prize?

So you're saying Barry

was sick as a kid?

- Terrible illness?

- It was just acne.

Horrible acne.

Apparently awful.

Disfiguring.

Irma went to the prom

with Scary Barry.

So he had bad skin?

And my mother disowned me.

Maybe I should write that

in berries

across the top of my pie.

Greg, honey. Hey, look at me.

- Look at me.

- Look that way.

I love you. So much.

But this is not worth it.

Year after year,

you whip yourself up

into a lather over a blueberry!

Oh!

Yes!

Hi.

You getting this, though?

Are you seeing that?

Ah, okay. Ahem.

Reporting live from Port Wenn's

Annual Blueberry Festival,

I am Elaine Denton.

Let us take this moment

to get the reactions

from the man and wo-man

on the street, shall we?

- This should be fascinating.

- Just seriously.

So it's men and women

on the street?

It's everyone on the street.

Mm. You wanna get

a reaction from the pig?

Won't you to ask the pig

a question?

Hello, good sir.

How are you finding

the festival this year?

- It's okay.

- Okay?

So th-that's all you're feeling?

Uh, okay.

Oh, no. I'm sorry. I'm asking.

- It's just okay?

- Oh, okay.

Okay. Have you ever

actually hit someone

with your rolling pin?

Cobbler, crumble, or crisp,

can anything really compete

with pie?

Hello, ma'am, have you traveled

a great distance

to sample Maine's finest

blueberries

here in Port Wenn?

Elaine, it's me, Irma.

Hey, how many people are

watching my live feed now?

How should I know?

The number is at the top

of the screen.

What are you, like a hundred?

Two.

Al and someone named

Port Wenn-dy.

That's it?

Nobody else in the whole town

is watching my coverage?

It's not the moon landing,

and everyone is here.

Oh, it's a disaster.

How am I ever gonna get any kind

of a national following?

I can't even get my friends

and neighbors to watch me.

Wait. We have another

live viewer.

- It's your mother.

- She's just tuning in now?

No, but she's commenting.

"Is that my blazer?"

Oh, this is something.

This is something.

This is something.

Doc!

All right, now, everybody!

One dollar per throw.

All proceeds to benefit

the Jailhouse Black Mold

Removal Fund!

- Oh, Kimberly, um, how are you?

- I got your message.

Oh, right, about

the, um, the notification.

Right. Just wanted to

keep you aware.

So I just have to go there

because

It's just I have

a dunk tank thing

that I'm kind of doing

right now.

My mother heard the voicemail

you left me.

- She did?

- I'm gonna k*ll you.

Okay. Okay. You know, we don't

need to, like, hurl

Just, you know, we can

Okay, so if we just

Marilyn? Yvonne? Gretchen?!

Gretchen.

Oh, you guys just got my call.

That's good because, that's good

because sometimes

it went to voicemail.

I wasn't sure. Okay, ladies.

Let's just remember

that this is a game, huh?

It's all for fun.

A larger than normal turnout

at the dunk tank this year.

All of the players seem

very motivated.

Your faces are just so angry.

- Okay!

- Whoa!

That was a real slammer there,

Karen. That was

- Whoo!

- My name is Carol.

Carol. I meant

I knew that.

She feels very strongly about

eradicating that jailhouse mold.

You, you gotta put

some high heat on that one.

Whoo! Okay, that was

Wha!

Okay! I felt it.

Everything got, like, whooped.

Okay.

Okay, okay, okay.

Enough, enough, back off!

Ladies, come on!

Come on, enough, enough!

Okay, enough!

Hey.

Is this embarrassing for me?

Yes.

Attention!

Attention, everybody!

It's almost time!

The judges have finished

their final tasting round,

and soon we'll begin

the award ceremony

for the Annual Port Wenn's

Blueberry Pie Contest.

Now, somewhere in the crowd

could be this year's winner.

Who will it be?

Come on into Legion Hall

and grab a seat!

Oh, wait, oh, wait.

We're at capacity.

Sorry.

Well, that's not my fault!

Come on, you guys

should have known!

No, no.

You know better than that.

- Hey.

- All right.

- Um, sorry.

- Hm.

Perfect.

Tucked snugly

into a crowded firehouse.

Shh.

Completely shut out every year.

Left behind every year.

I'm trying to watch this.

Oh, of course, of course.

I'm sorry.

Okay, how many people

are watching now?

On the live feed, I mean.

- One.

- Just my mom?

Okay. I guess Al made it

inside then.

Okay. All right, ahem,

all right.

This is so stressful.

Get a hold of yourself.

Louisa, you're cutting off

the circulation in your fingers.

Just another simple person

trying to distract herself from

the dreary reality, I suppose.

I-I didn't mean to imply

that you were simple.

I-I was only

I-it's just a pie contest.

No, it's more than that.

But you wouldn't understand

because you don't want

to understand.

And you don't want to understand

because you actually

don't give a crap.

I'm number two.

I'm number two.

Good evening.

Good afternoon, mom.

I'm Elaine Denton

recording, reporting live

inside Legion Hall where

judging has just commenced.

Demenced. Has ended.

And basically they've,

they've eaten all the pies

and soon will know the winner.

Live. With me.

Your daughter.

For Blue Witness Eyes.

Eyewitness Blues.

Ladies and gentlemen,

good afternoon.

Uh, we, the judges, have come up

with our final decisions.

Now, as you know,

this is a blind taste test.

And it is my job,

privilege, honor,

to announce that in third place,

pie 21.

What?

That's me. That's me.

- No.

- That's me.

- No.

- That's me.

Wow, big upset.

Greg Garrison has

taken third place.

Also, mom, can I keep

the blazer?

- I think it looks good on me.

- I did it! I did it!

I made something good!

And I placed!

I knew you could do it, honey!

But I-I-I always win third.

Always.

Does this mean

And in second place, we chose

pie number seven.

C'est moi.

Well, mom, you were right.

Sally Milo has taken

second place again this year.

Wait. Wait.

What does this mean?

I couldn't

Did I? Have I?

Have I taken first?

And thank you.

In first place

Excuse me.

In first place is pie 13.

What?

Oh! Again?

And as always, Barry Hammers

takes first place

in the Annual Port Wenn

Pie Baking Contest.

I didn't even

I didn't even place?

Aunt Sarah!

I'm fine.

No, your heartbeat is weak

and irregular.

How long until the ambulance

gets here?

Ten minutes.

They're all out at the hospital.

- We can take her in my car.

- No, we need the oxygen.

- We can do ten minutes.

- I'm okay.

No. You just need to hold still

and be quiet, okay?

Oh, um, clear the street

outside of Legion Hall.

An ambulance is

coming for Sarah,

and everybody think

good thoughts.

- She's gonna be okay.

- Okay.

We're waiting for the ambulance.

- Waiting for the ambulance

- I don't understand.

She was fine all day,

right up until the last round

of judging.

When did she start feeling ill?

We ate so much.

I think it started

just when we were tasting

the last few pies.

Those pies.

Well, she is on a wide

assortment of medications.

Possible some ingredient

in one of the pies

is interacting badly with

W-which of those pies

did she eat less?

- Um, um, that one, number seven.

- Oh, that's my pie.

Okay, I need you to tell me

exactly what's in your pie

right now, every ingredient.

Oh, it's, uh, nothing unusual.

Um, lard, lard in the, um,

organic wheat crust.

Mm-hmm.

And, uh, sugar,

cornstarch, lemon.

Blueberries, of course.

Oh, do I have to say it?

Yes!

Just a sprinkle of powdered MSG.

My mother always said it made

the blueberries pop.

And it was nothing.

I was like, no,

barely nothing there.

Monosodium glutamate

would only cause

a slight increase in heartrate.

That's not what's happening

here. It's not the MSG.

But that MSG is a violation

of contest rules.

All organic, all homegrown

ingredients. You cheated.

Sally Milo, I'm afraid

we have to eliminate you

from the competition.

No. No, George, no!

Well, w-who made that pie,

number 14, over there?

That would have been

in fourth place, right?

That's mine.

That's, that's my pie.

Oh, um, hello, everyone.

Uh, a very surprising

turn of events

here at the pie contest.

Quiet, everyone, everyone!

What pie did Sarah eat

before Sally's?

Uh, that one, pie 13.

Yeah, yeah, that's Blue Barry's

blueberry pie.

I can guarantee you

that the ingredients in my pie

are, as always, 100% organic

and homegrown.

Did you grow your ingredients

yourself?

Yes.

And did you use any fertilizers

or pesticides?

How dare you even ask me that?

Do you even know

what organic means?

Are we gonna really

let this outsider

come into our town

and question me?

Blue Barry,

the Blueberry Festival mascot.

Excuse me,

I was merely asking if

Then I am merely telling you

that I was guaranteed

my pie's ingredients

were 100% certified organic.

Wait, y-you were guaranteed

by whom?

By me.

I guaranteed me.

You bought that pie, didn't you?

No, no, of course not.

I don't care if that pie came

from your kitchen

or the dumpster

behind the Salty Breeze.

I only care about

my aunt's life.

Now, do you or do you not know

what's in that pie?

I don't know. I bought it.

Online. But there was nothing

unusual in it.

I-I swear to you, I swear.

I wish I could describe

the feeling

in the room right now.

- It is electric.

- You're B-Blue Barry.

Be-because of all

the blueberries you eat.

Because, year in and year out,

around the clock,

you're baking blueberry pies.

I don't even know how to cook!

Oh, my gosh.

And it's not from blueberries,

Bert.

He's been using colloidal silver

for, what, 40 years?

You saw that dermatologist

when you were a teenager

and he prescribed it

for your chronic acne, right?

But he was only supposed to use

the lotion for two months,

not decades,

and he turned himself blue,

which is a long-term side effect

of overuse.

You have to stop using it.

I liked being blue.

It became my identity.

Gave me a place in this town.

I wasn't the freak anymore.

I was a mascot.

At least I made my pie!

- If I'm out, so's he!

- Oh, my God.

It is moments

like these that remind us

why we are alive

and why we bake pies.

And what about you,

Louisa? Wh-what's in yours?

Oh, uh, nothing.

I mean, I mean, nothing

that could hurt her.

But didn't you say you had

a new baking trick

up your sleeve? What was it?

I-I soaked the blueberries

in spinach water

for 24 hours before baking.

I read about it

in an old French cookbook.

It's supposed to keep

the berries sweet,

but I promised I grew

the spinach myself

and I didn't break any rules.

I never break any rules.

Well, fresh blueberries

in cold water

would absorb a massive amount

of calcium

and oxalate from fresh spinach,

and her old blood thinners would

have reacted negatively,

but I switched her to

a new medication, so that

She didn't take

the new medication

because it was too expensive.

She's still on

the old blood thinner.

I knew I should have called you.

The ambulance is almost here.

- It's the spinach.

- Oh, no.

She needs a shot of heparin.

She's gonna be okay.

Let's just sit her up.

I'm glad she's gonna be okay,

but I can't.

- Over here. Over here.

- This way, this way

I just can't believe

that I won the

I actually won.

Well, I guess you'll be making

my favorites all month.

Fried chicken, and

mac and cheese, and that

- Stop talking.

- What?

Gregory Denise Garrison,

did you just tell Bert

that we would,

well, I would make

his favorite meals

if you won the pie contest?

Oh, wait, wait.

It's not over yet, folks.

No, of course not.

I would never.

I mean, I may have mentioned

as a joke

that we would cater

to his tastes for a bit,

and if I were to place

in the contest,

I may have pointed out

which pie was mine.

I don't know.

This contest makes me crazy.

Well, Sarah is on her way

to the hospital.

Doc Martin says

she's going to be fine,

but if I'm not mistaken,

there is one last twist

in the pie judging,

and, yes, here it comes.

Gregory Garrison, you are

summarily disqualified

from the competition

for unscrupulous behavior.

We will talk tonight.

He is out, Greg is gone,

and like a phoenix rising

from the ashes.

Which means

the official and final winner

of this year's Annual Port Wenn

Blueberry Pie Making Contest

is

Can you believe what we are

seeing here today?

Louisa Gavin.

Whoo-hoo-hoo!

Oh, my God!

Yeah!

Wait, wait a minute.

Wait, wait, wait.

We have to get Sarah

to the hospital.

No, no, you stay.

She'll be fine.

You did it.

You deserve this, you won.

Oh, I, uh

Oh!

- Stop!

- Stop!

Ah!

Oh, my gosh! Oh, my gosh!

Oh, my gosh!

Did I scare you?

Yes.

I don't like the idea

of being in this stupid town

without you.

And if you couldn't afford

the new medication,

you should have told me.

I'm sorry, Martin, I just

I was so annoyed because

I thought you were

coming for lunch,

but you didn't.

And I just

I'm just trying to make up

for lost time.

I just wanna

You wanna spend more time

with me?

Yeah.

Well

I may have rejected the role

of pie judge,

but I will accept the role

of your nephew.

And you can be

my weekly lunch date.

Guaranteed.

Twice a week.

Provided you follow lunch

with a brisk walk of

at least 10,000 steps.

- Ten thousand steps?

- Mm-hmm.

And no more fried cod.

Hello. Would anyone care

for tonight's dessert?

Ice cream.

Nope.

Oh.
