Previously on Sullivan's Crossing...
Whatever this is that's been going on between us,
- it can't happen. - Why not?
Because we don't want the same things.
I'm pregnant.
You're going to make a great mom.
I really am happy for you.
Walter's been arrested for fraud.
I can't believe I spent my entire life
- looking up to you! - I'm sorry.
The auction goes to the second highest bidder for $160,000.
I've decided to take on new partners.
- What new partners? - The Cranebears.
I finally understood what he meant about building a legacy,
how it gave purpose to your life.
It's going to be hard for me when you go back to Boston.
I want to stay at the Crossing with you.
I've only ever wanted to make you happy.
You'll always be a part of our baby's life.
I really think I need to do this by myself.
I've been in love with you since the moment I met you,
Maggie Sullivan.
- Wait. Where's Sully? - I'm sorry, Maggie.
# When it all fades away #
# Right before your eyes #
# When you lost your way #
# When you lost the light #
# Don't you let go #
# Because you'll never know #
# What's down the line #
- You getting the bedspread? - Yeah.
# When the ground starts to shake #
# I'll be at your side #
# I'll be your shelter #
Hi. Alright.
# Whenever you need a friend #
# I'll be your shelter #
Um, well, excuse me.
Cal!
# Whenever you need a friend #
# I'll be your shelter #
When'd you get back?
Late last night.
I'm sorry I wasn't here to welcome you back.
It's okay.
How was survival training?
After a week in the woods,
it was nice to sleep in my own bed.
What about you?
How's the move-in coming?
It's good.
I'm not looking forward to unpacking all those boxes.
Well, I can come by later and give you a hand if you like.
That would be great.
Why don't you come over?
I'll show you the new place.
I'd love that.
It is so nice to have you home.
I like the sound of that.
# Is this as good as it's gonna get? #
# I've given all I can give #
# But the rivers still get wider, wider #
# We've been here all along #
# Through the valleys, we carry on #
# The journey takes us higher, higher #
# This could be your home, if we try to build it #
# This could be your life that's one in a million #
# All the hard times, yeah, they were worth it #
# Time and time and time again #
A minute 58.
That's got to be a new record.
Good stuff, man.
Thanks. I think I'm finally starting
to get the hang of this.
You know, Connie was right. We're lucky to have you.
How is Connie doing, anyway?
Loves her new job.
I wish I could say the same.
What's wrong?
I don't get any time with Sydney
now that I stepped in to be interim fire chief.
If I knew it was going to take so long for someone to find a replacement,
I probably wouldn't have done it in the first place.
What about you? Seen Maggie yet?
I stopped by the Outpost on the way over.
She doing okay?
She's been through a lot,
but... I think so.
Alright. Come on.
Break time's over! Let's go!
Hey, partner!
You could help if you wanted!
Frank. Frank!
Do you hear me?
Did you say something?
Never mind.
Uh, is this where we're supposed to, uh, check in?
Yup. Right over here.
Aw. Want your baba?
I'll need your photo ID and credit card, please.
Yes.
You can charge anything to your cabin,
and we have breakfast out on the patio in the mornings now.
Oh, wonderful.
Goodness.
Oh, here.
Thanks.
How old is he?
About 16 months.
You have any kids?
No.
Uh, how about cabin 12?
It's quieter, and it has full lake view.
Sounds great. Thank you.
Okay. You have a beautiful baby.
- Thank you. - Thanks.
- See you! - Bye.
I was thinking, if it's, uh, okay,
I might head back to the house
and do a little more unpacking.
Of course.
You think she's okay?
I don't know.
Yeah.
Okay. Great. Yeah.
So, I'll be by, uh, tomorrow.
Yeah. We'll walk though things. Okay.
- Who was that? - Uh, contractor.
Yeah. I'm going to meet up with him tomorrow,
go over plans for the new place.
So, how long before you're open?
Says he'll get started as soon as I give him the deposit. - You haven't done that yet?
No. Waiting for the insurance cheque to come in.
Should be any day now.
So, I ran into Jane at yoga the other day.
She was asking about you.
What did you tell her?
Just that Finn is away at camp and that you're lonely and moping around the house.
Syd!
I'm kidding.
Very funny.
I still don't get why you stopped seeing her.
Because I have enough things to focus on right now.
Suit yourself,
but for the record,
I think you're making a mistake. I do.
I really appreciate your concern, Syd,
but I'm good.
And those are my muffins.
Wow.
Maggie?
I thought you were going in to the Outpost today.
Yeah. I did. I just-- I came back.
I wanted to get a head start on these boxes.
Oh. Want a hand?
No, it's okay. I'm heading over to Cal's for lunch soon.
Ah. Didn't realise he was back.
He got back last night.
Well, I'm glad that you two will finally--
You okay?
It's just my allergies.
Can I have a listen, just to be safe?
The doctor gave me the all clear.
You're going to have to stop worrying about me.
I'm fine. Okay?
- Okay. - Alright.
I'm going to head back to the Outpost,
make sure Edna doesn't decide to paint the place pink.
I'm happy you're back, Maggie.
Me too.
Can you unpack these for me?
I need to check some bookings.
And what are these?
Oh, they're Sullivan's Crossing ponchos for when it rains.
And where do these go?
On the shelves with the camping stuff.
But all these shelves have... camping stuff.
Okay. Fine. I'll do it.
- Hi! - Hi.
Where's my mug?
Cupboard by the stove.
What's wrong with where it used to live?
- This makes more sense. - Says who?
You're the one who said she could make some changes.
Yeah, some things, but I mean, look at this place, Frank.
I-- I hardly even recognise it anymore.
Whose side are you on?
I'm not picking sides, Sully.
I'm just saying.
If you're done, I want to show you
how to use the new check-in system.
I'm good with the old system.
Writing names and numbers on a sticky note
is not a system, Sully,
and that reminds me. I need you to write
a personal statement for the new website.
I already told you I'm not good with that sort of thing.
Well, you're the face of the Crossing, Sully.
People will expect to hear from you,
so you're not getting out of it.
Why don't you come and help me with the garden?
Love to.
Hi.
What are you doing here?
The bed felt really empty without you last night.
It just sounds to me like someone needs a cold shower.
Hey.
Two can play at that game.
Sydney.
What are you doing?
Just... trying...
to get your attention.
Okay. Seriously, what if someone sees us?
Mm-hmm.
# Sad to let you go #
# Got no self-control #
# You must have put a spell on me #
# Everywhere where I look #
# Your face is all I see #
# Can't you just let me be? #
Excuse me.
Hi. Hate to interrupt.
Wondering if you can help me find Rafe Vadas.
That's me, and you are?
Cooper, the new fire chief.
I, uh, wasn't expecting you till next week.
Well, it's a good thing I got here early, isn't it?
I'll give you a minute.
Hi.
Hey. Hope you're hungry.
What smells so good?
That's homemade pizza.
Really? I didn't know you knew how to make that.
Well, I guess there's still a lot of things we don't know
about each other.
- I'm going to go check on it. - Okay.
Uh, looks like it still needs a few minutes.
The place is nice!
Did a nice job decorating.
Well, thank you.
It still needs a bit of work,
but it's starting to feel like home.
- Mm-hmm. - I got something for you.
I picked it up in one of those little shops in Mahone Bay.
Reminded me of you.
I love it.
- May I? - Yeah.
Okay.
How's it look?
Perfect.
I really missed you, Maggie.
I missed you.
I'm sorry. Uh, I just need a minute.
Sure.
You know, I know that all of these changes
have been rough on you, Sully.
Eh, I think it's just that, uh...
I'm just not used to having this much free time on my hands,
you know?
Well, I know what you mean.
I felt the same when I retired.
Retired? Who said anything about retiring?
That is not what I meant, Sully.
I'll be at home if anybody needs me.
Hey, listen.
About earlier, I just--
I swear I've never done that before.
It's never going to happen again, is it?
No, of course not.
It's just, it's a new relationship,
and I've been working long shifts, so...
Your personal life isn't my concern.
Yeah. I, uh, got it.
How about we just put this behind us,
start fresh, hmm?
Yeah. That-- that'd be great. Thank you.
Okay. Now, it looks like there's a lot of paperwork
that needs to get done here.
Yeah. It was, uh-- It was hard to keep up with it all.
Okay. Good. Then it's settled.
You'll help me in the office until this gets all sorted out.
I think I'd really feel more comfortable in the field.
Well, you know what they say.
It's never too late to learn.
There was no need to rush your lunch with Cal.
I could have managed without you.
I think I've been in limbo for long enough.
Yeah.
- Hey. - Sydney!
Oh, I didn't get a chance to print those bank statements
for you yet.
Oh, that's okay. I don't mind waiting.
Hey.
You're not going to believe what happened.
What?
I was visiting Rafe at the station,
and things got... a little carried away.
Carried away?
Well, he-- he was washing the fire truck,
and he sprayed me with water.
And I may have taken my top off.
Rafe must have been surprised.
Yeah. Not as surprised as the new fire chief.
Oh, my God, Sydney.
How was I supposed to know he was going to show up early?
Besides, Rafe has been working double shifts since Connie left.
Is that new?
Oh, uh, yeah.
Cal gave it to me at lunch today.
Here you go.
Thank you.
Well, I'll talk to you later.
I'm making Rafe a romantic dinner tonight.
- Good luck. - Good luck.
So, uh, how'd your week in the woods go?
Now, I know why they call it survival training.
Wow! Are these the new plans for your new restaurant?
Uh, yeah. Let me walk you through them.
We have the breakfast area over here,
and over here, we have the bar.
And, uh, I'm going to add a walk-in freezer.
Lots of room for a dry ager.
Yeah. Looks like you're going to give that axe-throwing bar
- a run for its money, huh? - That is the plan.
Yeah. It's been, uh... been a rough ride,
but things are finally starting to look up.
I'm happy for you, Rob.
- You deserve it. - Thanks.
Alright. Come on. What's this going to be?
Oh, yeah. We're going to be, uh, a couple bathrooms...
How's the garden coming along?
It's cleaned up.
Next step, uh, planting.
- Where's Sully? - He went home.
He can't still be mad about the mugs.
He's just going to need a little time.
Uh, maybe I can head home,
check in on him?
Good idea. We'll close up.
Okay.
- Goodnight. - Night.
You know, I've been thinking.
Couldn't hurt to slow things down a bit.
- What do you mean? - Well, maybe this is
not the right time to be making all of these changes.
Things are finally starting to pick back up around here, Frank.
There's never going to be a right time for Sully.
Quit worrying.
Sully will be fine.
There you are.
I was worried that something happened.
You mean other than my boss catch us making out
in the fire truck?
I'm sorry.
I didn't mean for that to happen.
Well, that makes two of us.
Did you get in a lot of trouble?
It wasn't exactly the first impression I was hoping to make.
Well, I made your favourite.
Oh, no. My lasagna!
Okay. Hope you're hungry.
I made lots.
Hey, I...
If it's okay, I'm just going to grab a shower
and call it a night.
I just have to get to the fire hall early tomorrow morning
to start on some paperwork.
Yeah. Okay. Sure.
Okay.
Hey. Cal sent some food over for you.
That's nice.
Seven letters.
Virus that causes German measles.
- Uh, rubella. - Ah.
Frank mentioned that you were upset.
I have no intention of retiring.
No one's expecting you to.
You sure about that?
If this is about all the upgrades that Edna's making,
just remember that she's just trying to do what's best
for the Crossing.
She doesn't mean to upset you.
I guess you're right.
Look. I get it.
I'm not good with change either,
but sometimes it's a good thing.
I wouldn't be here if it wasn't.
You sure you made the right decision, Maggie?
I've always been happiest here with you.
If I hadn't gone into the diner that night...
It's not your fault that I lost the baby.
Don't blame yourself.
Thanks again for helping me.
I'm just happy to spend some time with you,
even if it's unpacking.
Ah, Thoreau.
Two oaks that stand side by side
withstand the winter storm
and spite of wind and tide...
For both are strong.
"Above they barely touch,
but undermined down to their deepest source..."
"Admiring you shall find
their roots... intertwined insep'rably."
You know, I don't think I've ever met anybody
who loves his poetry as much I do.
It's just one of the very many things
I find attractive about you.
Well, you know...
I don't think that there's anything sexier
than a man quoting poetry.
Really?
Mm.
- Um-- - Uh, uh, did I--
- did I do something wrong? - No. Um, it's not you.
Then... what is it?
Would you mind if we just, um, finished unpacking?
Yeah. Sure.
Morning.
- Other cupboard. - Oh, that's right.
Looks like Paulson's Nursery is having a sale today.
I think I'll, uh, stop in
and see what they got before it's all gone.
Didn't we have a store credit for them somewhere?
It's at home.
I'll swing by on the way over.
Have you started working on the personal statement
for the website yet?
I need it today. No excuses.
Ah, fine.
Hi.
Hello.
- Can I help you? - I have a reservation.
Welcome. What's the name?
Helen Culver.
That's odd. It's not coming up.
Maybe I'm spelling it wrong.
C-U-L-V-E-R, Culver.
Sully, did you mess with this?
And you're sure you booked online?
No. I did it over the phone.
The gentleman I spoke with suggested cabin 12.
Said it was a quiet spot with a full lake view.
That's me. I remember taking that booking.
Just a second. It's over here somewhere.
Here it is.
This is exactly why I upgraded the system, Sully.
I don't understand
why you still have a-- an issue with this.
I already checked a couple into that cabin.
Alright. What about cabin 14 or cabin 16?
They both have full views.
We're fully booked.
Mmm.
Hey, that's-- that's my cup of coffee.
Taxes for your screw-up.
I'm going to be outside enjoying this beautiful view
while you two sort this out.
Did you see that?
Can't believe how perfect this place is.
This is going to be great.
So, when do you want to get started?
Uh, soon as the insurance cheque comes in.
I wouldn't wait if I were you.
Heard there's a new development coming up.
I need to keep my guys busy, or they'll jump ship.
Okay. Yeah. I'll let you know as soon as it arrives.
You really did luck out on this place.
Yeah. Thanks.
Eh, we'll get your moved into that other cabin
as soon as those guests get out of there.
Well, this, uh, certainly doesn't feel very remote to me,
and this is not a full lake view.
Well, this part of the campground
gets busy with tourists because of the beach.
When we get further into the season,
it thins out.
Well...
I need quiet when I write.
Oh, you're a writer?
- Novelist. - What kind?
Romance, mainly.
Ah. I'm a non-fiction guy myself.
That makes sense.
You don't strike me as the romantic type.
Mm. Not since my wife left me, anyway.
Don't you think you should read my book
before passing judgement?
Eh, don't need to.
I had enough drama for one lifetime.
Uh, here we are.
Cabin eight.
Well, it's not as nice as cabin 12,
but it has a lot of charm.
Well, has that line ever worked for you?
I don't know. I never tried it on anyone before.
I don't know why Edna had to change the system. Geez.
Look. You're the one that screwed up my booking.
Don't you think it's only fair
you compensate me for the inconvenience?
What'd you have in mind?
Nothing crazy. Just, uh, some free coffee.
I suppose I can do that. Yeah.
Great. So, looks like we're going to be seeing
a lot more of each other, then.
- What do you mean? - Forgot to mention.
I'm a bit of a caffeine addict. Can't get through the day
without at least five or six cups.
Fine.
Here you go.
Thought you might be thirsty.
Thank you.
Broke down all the boxes.
That's great.
I just want you to know that I'm here for you
if you ever need to talk.
Miscarriages happen all the time, Cal.
I'm not special.
Twenty percent of first-time mothers lose their baby.
This isn't about statistics, Maggie.
I know you're trying to help.
I think I just need to be alone right now.
# When the curtains close #
# The hurt climbs so high #
# And no one knows #
Where's Sully?
It's okay. He's fine.
He made it out.
The doctors are with him now.
I...
He's going to be okay.
Um... I don't understand.
Why am I here?
I'm so sorry, my girl.
It's just... all the stress...
# When your world just breaks #
...was a little too much for the baby.
No.
No! No!
I'm so, so sorry, Maggie.
# You can't go back now #
No.
# Hello #
Writing not going well?
I don't know how you roped me into this.
You know I'm no good with words.
If you're having this much trouble, why don't you ask Helen to help?
You said that she's a writer.
No thanks. Not interested.
Suit yourself.
Coming!
Hey.
What's wrong?
What is this?
It's the insurance company.
They're denying my claim, Syd.
What? How is that possible?
They're blaming it on the builder.
Something about a defective air vent or something.
We'll talk to a lawyer.
I already have, Syd.
He doesn't think I had a case,
and even if I did,
where would I get the money to deal with that?
It's all my fault.
If I hadn't have left the damn chili on the stove,
none of this would have happened!
No, no. It was an accident, Rob, okay?
It could have happened to anyone.
Yeah. I'm sorry.
What am I going to do?
What am I going to do now?
We're going to figure it out.
Back so soon?
Ah, I just thought I'd come in and grab a few supplies,
and, uh, I'll take one of those coffees you owe me.
And, uh, ooh.
Maybe I'll grab a sandwich while you're at it.
I don't think that was--
Uh-uh.
It's our pleasure.
I'll be in the shed if you need me.
Was it something I said?
No. He's just grumpy
because he's having trouble writing something
for our new website.
Hmm. Writer's block, eh?
Every scribe's worst enemy.
Hey, Frank.
Magpie. You want to help?
Um, sure.
You know, I've always loved plants.
They always... centre me.
I was going to be a mother, Frank.
I know.
Things just... didn't work out how I thought they would.
Mm-hmm.
You know, it's like your necklace.
A butterfly goes through most of its life
convinced that it's a caterpillar.
And then one day, it wakes up,
and everything's changed.
I guess it's up to you.
Do you want to live your life hiding in a cocoon
like the caterpillar?
Or do you want to spread your wings--
and fly like the butterfly?
What was that for?
Helping me figure out what I need to do.
696
Just a sec!
Did you edit this?
There's no need to get your knickers in a twist.
Edna said you were struggling, so I thought I'd help.
Honestly, I don't know what the problem is.
It's called constructive criticism.
Constructive criticism?
You're here for, what, like, five minutes,
and you think you know me and what this place means to me?
And this isn't just any campground, okay?
It's a sanctuary for renewal and healing, okay?
It's been in my family for generations.
My great-grandfather left everything to come here!
Hmm.
What are you smiling about?
That passion!
That's exactly what you need to be tapping into
when you write!
Wait. So you-- you did this on purpose?
I thought you needed a little push.
Cal.
I'm sorry. I...
think I owe you an apology.
No. No. You don't.
It's okay.
No. You were right,
what you said before.
I'm not fine.
I thought that I was,
that... as a doctor,
I could... handle what happened.
That baby meant so much to me...
and to Sully.
It wasn't your fault.
I know that.
Still, just a part of me--
I feel like I've... just let everyone down.
You can't let yourself think like that, Maggie.
You know, all this time, I've...
been trying to ignore how I'm feeling...
when I should have been facing it.
But I think I'm ready to do that now.
Okay.
Maggie came by the garden.
She okay?
She will be.
I know how hard it is to lose a child, Frank.
You would have been a wonderful mother.
The Creator had other plans for us.
I made my peace with that,
and I am grateful for all that we've been given.
I do have some news that I think will make you happy.
Okay. What's that?
- My cousin Jacob called. - Oh?
And he wants to come and stay with us for a bit.
- He's coming here? - Mm.
I need new sheets. And pillows.
And I need to run to the grocery store so I can start cooking!
Where you going?
I'll be back in a bit, Frank.
I have a million things to do before he gets here.
But you don't know when he's coming yet!
I'm going to need a ride home tonight.
Yeah. Sure.
Is that the statement that Edna wants you to write?
You want to give me a minute here, buddy?
I got to get this down before I forget it.
Sure. I'll-- I'll just be in the back if you need me.
# I'm a child of the flowers and the trees #
# When I look up to the sky I'm at peace #
So, before my mom took me
to live in Boston,
Sully and I planted a tree together,
and he told me
that no matter where I went,
a part of me would always be here at the Crossing.
Yeah.
- You okay? - Yeah.
# I'm a child of the rolling stream #
Finished. Want to hear it?
Sure.
