Chesapeake Shores

Previously on Chesapeake Shores:

Hon, you okay? Sarah? Sarah.

- We had a miscarriage. - Oh, God.

If I mess up in any way, I go back to prison.

- You're late because? - I came to see you.

I wanna ask Abby O'Brien out. I want to declare my feelings for her.

Margaret Keller.

Connor O'Brien.

Welcome aboard.

I have Evan asking me out. And now Jay has expressed his feelings.

- About time. What are you gonna do? - I don't wanna be with anyone.

He left the country and the feds are looking for him

for wire fraud and embezzlement.

Your poor mother.

You didn't tell me about your job offer from the Getty.

Carter arranged it.

He set this up so he could have you with him?

- Is that what you think? - I don't trust Carter.

Can't you trust me?

Trust you not to leave me again? I don't know if I can.

Okay, here goes. Hi. Hi, it's Abby.

So I'm just calling to tell you that I have been thinking about you.

Who did you call?

Connor?

It's Connor!

- He's having a heart attack! Help! - Call 911.

- Stay with us. - 511 Surrey on Chesapeake Shores.

Hey, it's Jess. You know the drill.

She's still not answering.

- It's late. She's probably sleeping. - Don't even know what time it is.

- Leave her a message. - I did.

I can't believe your father would do this.

I know. I know. I can't believe it either.

But I can believe it too.

What do you mean?

- Never mind. Let's just... - What are you saying?

Let's talk about it in the morning after you've had some sleep.

- What are you saying, David? - I mean you know what Dad's like.

Does this really seem so out of character to you?

Mom?

Mom?

She hung up.

Why would I say that?

She's upset.

How could he do this?

It's okay, baby.

Shouldn't you get that?

Whatever it is, it'll keep. This is more important.

It's okay.

I've got it, Margaret.

I'm so sorry.

I just listened to your messages. How is he? How's Connor?

- He's in surgery. - Surgery?

What happened?

He had a heart attack. That's all we know.

We just have to wait.

Okay.

I hate waiting.

Hi. How is he? What's happened? Anything?

Nothing since you called two minutes ago.

Mom, I'm sorry you couldn't reach me. I had a thing going on.

- It's okay. - You're here now.

Yeah.

- I'll call Nell and check on the girls. - Good.

- What thing did you have going on? - Tell you later.

Fine.

Nobody's telling me anything tonight.

- Sorry. It's complicated. - I know.

Abby called somebody tonight.

Said she wanted to give it a try.

She didn't. She did?

She did.

Who? Who did she call?

Evan? Jay?

I don't know.

Meg. Um...

Tonight at the campfire, I...

I said some things.

I don't know what got into me.

What I said about not trusting you, I didn't mean it.

Yes, you did.

Maybe I did, but I don't wanna mean it.

We'll talk. Later.

Abby. Hey.

How's Connor? Any news?

Uh, nothing yet.

She called Jay.

Really? I was Team Evan all the way.

Mr. O'Brien?

- Yes? - Yes?

I take it you're his family.

- Yes. - Yes.

Uh, Connor is out of immediate danger.

Immediate?

Connor suffered a severe myocardial infarction.

We also found deep-vein thrombosis in his leg, and blood clots in his lungs.

Now we've stabilized him, but we may need to do more.

More?

Possibly angioplasty. Possibly bypass surgery.

But we don't know yet. Time will tell.

In the meantime, he will need rest.

The heart muscle begins to heal quickly.

It usually takes about eight weeks to recover.

- Usually? - But he will recover?

We'll need to put him on a regimen of blood thinners and statins.

He'll have to change his diet. Cut out alcohol and begin an exercise program.

Yes. Of course.

- Anything. - But he'll be okay?

As I said, time will tell.

Can we see him?

- He's conscious. He asked to see family. - Great.

Hold on a minute. He's in the ICU. He can only have one visitor at a time.

He can have two visitors.

Okay, two visitors.

This way.

- We'll let you know how he is. - Tell him we're here.

Hey, guys.

Hi, son.

- Hey. Nice to see you smiling. - Yeah.

Why not? I'm alive.

Can't have better news than that.

Look, um...

I know I'm gonna have to make some changes, and they won't all be easy.

But I'm still alive.

Yeah.

And, uh, as far as I'm concerned, there's no better news than that.

Any day aboveground is a good day. That's what my father used to say.

Grandpa Charlie.

Yeah.

- I barely remember him. - Well, you were very young when he...

- Heart attack, wasn't it? - Yeah.

How old was he?

He was 58.

Well, gives me another 30-odd years.

So it's not bad.

- Love you, Pops. - Love you too.

Yeah, okay.

I just...

Hey, we just heard.

Hey.

How is he, Abby?

Uh, I haven't seen him.

Maybe she called Evan.

- Hi, Jay. - Hey, Evan.

- Mom and Dad are in there with him now. - It'll be okay.

That's what Jay said.

Well, not exactly like that, but...

You're a teacher. In situations like this, I'm pretty clumsy with words.

You did okay.

Could you tell Connor I was here?

- You don't wanna see him? - They won't let me in. I'm not family.

Come.

Come here.

- Okay. - Okay, bye.

May I help you?

Yes. We wanna see Connor O'Brien.

We only allow immediate family in the ICU.

Yeah, we're his sisters.

I'm adopted.

I should be home soon.

Yeah. I'll send him your love if I see him.

Why don't you try to get some sleep, okay?

We'll get through this. All of this.

I love you, Sarah.

Iraq or Afghanistan?

Afghanistan.

- Is it that obvious? - I served in Iraq.

I still tie my shoelaces ladder-lace style too.

Though I don't wear boot-bands very often.

Old habits are hard to break.

Once a trooper, always a trooper.

Okay, well, I'm gonna let you guys talk,

and I'm gonna go confuse that nurse some more.

- Hello, O'Brien. - Hello, Keller.

You look like hell.

How am I ever going to forgive you?

Wait, why?

That kiss. You almost killed me.

Hey. Come here.

I know this must be really weird for you.

We just started

whatever we started,

and now you got plunged into this, whatever this is.

What I'm saying is,

I know you didn't sign up for any of this.

So, you know, if you wanna just call it quits,

I would totally understand.

I'd kiss you again if I thought you could handle it.

Call me if you need anything.

Anything at all.

I will.

And if you talk to him, please, let me know how he is.

- Yes, yeah. - Okay.

- Take care of yourself as well, Abby. - Thank you, Mandrake.

I can't believe this.

Mandrake, I have 35 voicemails. Who even leaves voicemails anymore?

Would you like me to screen them and give you a report, sir?

- If you wouldn't mind. - My pleasure.

You can connect to my Bluetooth, sir.

Oh, you are a life saver.
