Cedar Cove

Previously on Cedar Cove...

No.

So you're the guy that he hired.

But I'm not a guy.

No, you're not.

I re-upped.

Please, Jack, I'm not jealous.

I'm concerned about you.

You know, I totally understand if you're angry.

I'm not.

You're not?

I was.

I was spittin' angry.

Then I took Duke out for a couple of hours, and...

And now?

I'm better.

You know that nothing happened with Will, right?

I believe you.

And here I thought we were going to have a big messy fight.

No, but...

You've got to be honest with me.

Does Will have anything to do

with you wanting to slow things down?

No.

No, I just want some time to catch my breath.

I guess you were expecting someone

a little more masculine.

Mmm.

You know, Alex is short for Alexandra.

Yeah, I got that, thanks.

She moved into the cabin.

- So I hear. - She loves it.

She's thinking about nailing cowboy boots to the wall.

What do you think of that?

So...

Yeah.

Yeah, this is kind of...

I know.

So what do we do now?

Good night, Luke.

Good night.

You're up early.

Hmm.

I'm on deadline for the paper.

Oh, don't worry.

I hear the editor of the chronicle is a total pushover.

No, this is the article for the Seattle courier,

and it's due by the end of the week.

And if I don't wow the new editor

with another beautifully written,

emotionally driven story,

then this assignment will be my last.

So, what do you have?

A migraine and an upset stomach.

You're going to be okay.

Ah...

You know, I remember the rush

of writing something that millions of people read,

but I forgot the panic that precedes it.

What's really going on?

I never thought that I would be back

working with a high-profile paper again.

My story on Luke opened up

a lot of closed doors for me, but...

What if I don't have another great article in me?

You know, what if that was just a fluke?

The article on Luke

is the first of many.

I'm not so sure.

You made me cry.

I did?

You not only got in my head,

you touched my heart.

Wow...

Now, that is worth more than a pulitzer.

Well,

then stop your bellyaching and write me another one.

Morning.

Good morning.

Coffee?

Oh, yeah.

How did you sleep?

Not well.

How do you think Ian slept?

I think...

Ian and I need to get used to sleeping apart.

This isn't about babies

or us lying to each other anymore.

What's it about?

Whether we should stay together.

Hello...

Hey!

There they are.

- Hi. - Oh...

There she is.

Oh, who's the most beautiful girl in the world?

Yes, you are!

Yes...

And what is it about babies

that make adults sound like idiots?

Oh, hey, Shelly, you look great.

Oh, thank you.

Look at you.

Oh, yeah, I'm fine, dad.

Thanks for asking.

Oh, I see you all the time.

Plus, you're not as cute as this one.

Very true.

We're just coming in for a quick visit,

and then I'm going to take Shelly and Adele out to eat

before I've got to get back to work.

Okay.

And then we're going to go back

to daddy's nice new house for a nap.

Hey, why don't you join us?

I don't need a nap.

He meant for lunch.

Oh, I wish I could, guys,

but I've got to work.

Eric told me about the new job in Seattle.

Does that mean

we might get to see you more often?

Most definitely, yes.

Yay.

Hey, do you guys need to leave Adele here with me?

Well, you have to work.

You deserve to have some alone time with Shelly.

Thanks, dad, but I want both my girls with me.

Okay.

Good luck with your article.

Thank you.

Okay, bye, guys.

Bye bye.

Bye...

Hey!

Hi. Do you have time

for an emergency lunch?

Did you talk to Cliff?

I did, but this is about Alex.

Who's that?

New horse trainer that Cliff hired.

Okay, what's wrong with him?

Him is a her,

and her is a very attractive woman

who is working with my boyfriend.

This is Cliff we're talking about.

Yeah, well, thanks to me, he's out there all alone

with a woman who makes flannel sexy.

Cliff loves you.

Yeah, and then I go and ask him for more space.

If I'm not careful,

I'm going to end up with more space than I want.

Well, then, don't give him the space.

It's your rule. You can break it.

Yeah.

You were right, it's Colin McFadden.

Okay.

Thanks.

I confirmed he's the one sending you flowers.

Seems like he's staying put,

but I'll make sure my guy at Portland P.D.

Keeps an eye on him.

Good.

Thank you.

Maybe if you told me the whole story,

I could do more.

I can't.

No one can know.

Well, you know I'm here,

and if you change your mind and want to talk...

Yeah.

Thanks.

Wait a minute...

You're waiting for Judge Lockhart.

Yes.

How did you know?

I have a touch of esp.

I got it from my mother...

my birth mother, that is.

Really?

Yeah. Yeah...

And also, uh, Olivia called,

asked me to tell you she's running a little late.

But I knew that before she called.

If you say so.

What can I get you for?

Uh, just water, please.

Bottled, sparkling, or tap?

Tap.

Ah.

A most excellent and, uh, economical choice.

Hey, Moon.

Hey.

Sorry I'm late.

No problem.

So...

Pay up.

Whatever do you mean?

Oh, let me refresh your memory.
