Jack: So, about last night..
Melinda: What. Anything happened I should be aware of?
Jack: Oh you're funny !
Jack: I would really like to take you out for dinner. Think of it as a meal between friends. Come on, we eat together all the time.
Melinda: Yeah but this would be different.
Jack: Okay. No pressure, no expectations.
Melinda: I just don't know if I'm ready.
Jack: You have about 10 hours, you'll be fine!
Melinda: Stop !
Jack: Ok so Yeah ?
Melinda: Okay! Yeah... okay!
- Aside from your nurse practitioner, how many medical assistants do you have?
- None.
- If you live two hours away, how would you handle after-hours calls?
- I guess they'd drive to the Urgent Care in Clear River.
- Oh, you guess.
- You guessed wrong.
Jo: Look at that.
- I said look at that.
- What? What am I looking at?
- Doc is here with Muriel.
- You know what that means.
- Yeah.

- -Now I'll get out of your hair.
- -[chuckles]

- -Don't you want to be alone with me?

- -Well, this is her house.
- -Exactly.
- So if you ever wanna have sex again, you better find somewhere we can be alone.
- Thank you, Jack.
- Well, if anyone else would like to speak, now would be the perfect time.
- All right, then.
- Jack and Preacher have graciously catered--
Tara: Doc, wait.
Todd: I love Charmaine, and I would do anything to make her happy.
Jack: I'm sincerely happy for the both of you.
Todd: That's good to hear. If I were you, I'd be relieved she found someone to take care of her, so you don't have to.
Jack: I'm perfectly capable of supporting her and the twins.
- I think it's great.
- -[laughing] I know!
- -♪ I'm givin' love ♪
- I can't believe this.
- When did you graduate?
- -2007.
- -We were there at the same time. [laughs]
- -What was your major?
- -Political science.
- -Health sciences.
- -Opposite sides of the campus.
- -Still, I'm sure we crossed paths.
- -I'm sure we did.
- What a small world.
- Exactly.
- Come on. We'll just start small.
- I'll drive you to the church.
- You don't have to do that.
- Today is gonna be tough for everyone.
- Might be nice to have someone to lean on.
Jack: You know, I bet a lot of people who went through what you did don't ever recover. And you've built a whole new life for yourself. And it takes incredible strength to do that.
Melinda: You know, I used to think that I could handle anything. But now, when I look at myself, I just see weakness.
- Okay.
- Mel, would you mind asking Brie if there's anything she'd like to eat or drink?
- Um… [clears throat]
- I will take a ginger ale. Thank you.
- All right, be right back.
John: You're not a friend. You're a leech. And for once, why can't you just do the right thing, man?
Dan: And what's that, Preach?
John: Leave town. You know, just get out of here.
- I know I didn't appreciate you when I had the chance.
- Yeah, you blew it.
- I did, and now I wanna make amends.
- I'm over it. Apology accepted.
- Lizzie…
- I really wanna make things up to you.
- Yeah, I… I get it.
- But you know what? You're both here now, so maybe you can change that.
- Hm. [inhales deeply]
Brie: Yeah.
- They have really good, um, cinnamon swirls.
- -I'm gonna need two of them, so…
- -Okay.
- You've been doin' nothin' all day.
- We're full here.
- Yeah, I'm just, uh-- just going over our invoices.
- All right, well, invoices can wait.
- I can't find the apple pie.
- You know, there's a couple extra in the-the back of the fridge.
- I need help in the kitchen. Come on.
- Yeah, okay. Comin'.
- Doc can stay behind to meet Social Services?
Jack: Sure. Come on.
[sighs] You can ride shotgun.
- Do-Well, shouldn't Mel stay behind?
- She's the one who called.
- Vernon, so help me, you are jangling my last nerve.
- For once, just do as you're asked.
Charmaine: Oh, next Friday... I was thinking, after dinner, I could spend the night at your place. Hm? It's our two-year anniversary.
Jack: See, um... I didn't think we were doing anniversaries.
Charmaine: Well... maybe it's time we started. I just thought it might be nice.
Jack: Well, things are nice the way they are.
- -Here you go.
- -You have a great day.
- You too.
- -What is this?
- -Yeah. Who's it from?
- Stacie.
- -Mark's sister.
- -Yeah, no, I remember her.
- Yeah. She likes to make an impression.
Brie: Look, Mel loves you because you don't pretend to be somebody that you're not. And out in the dating world, that is pretty hard to find. Trust me.
Jack: Well, let's hope it's enough.
- Oh, I don't wanna invade your privacy.
[quietly] What privacy?
- Uh, so I made some shortbread for you this morning.
- -Thanks, Grandma.
- -There you go, dear.
- That was so nice of you.
Lydie: Okay. Uh, back to my room.
- Call me if you need anything.
- Okay.
- -[sighs]
- -It's all right.
- Okay.
- Now, let's get you tucked in, okay?
- There you go.
- Try to relax, okay?
Lizzie: You can't leave me here alone.
Connie: You're not alone. There's a line of customers to keep you company.
- Can I get a large latte with skim, no foam, extra hot?
- Oh my God! Parker!
- -Preach, c'mon, man.
- -[Preach] Yeah, whatever.
- -Talk to your boss, man!
- -I knew it!
- Hey, Preach. Preach.
- Listen, I'll tell them about Charmaine.
- Just not yet.
- Yeah, copy that.
- I slept on the couch.
- Got a lot of stress lately too, huh?
- No, I'm fine.
- Just trying to focus on Charmaine.
- I'll call you.
- Yeah.
- Do you have experience with that?
- Yes, quite a bit.
- Mine is limited.
- Damn it, Doc, I already said no.
- I just want you to weigh in on the treatment plan.
- -One consult, that's it.
- -Just one. Come on.
Hope: It's rude to keep a lady waiting.
Doc: It's rude coming in someone's office without knocking.
Hope: Your door was open. Okay. We've got big trouble.
Doc: Yeah. An abandoned baby.
Hope: No, I was talking about Mel. Wait. Someone abandoned that baby?
- I'm not goin' anywhere.
- You haven't been this quiet for this long ever.
- I mean, wh-you having another heart attack?
- -Come on, speak to me, Hope.
- -[sobs]
- Hope.
- Well, those don't look like tears of joy.
Melinda: Lilly is Chloe's mother.
Doc: And what proof do you have?
Melinda: I just found her breastfeeding the baby.
Doc: Oh, you have no idea what you're talking about. Unlike you city people, folks around here, we don't just leap to conclusions.
Melinda: Oh, really? Okay. Because you made up your mind about me before we even started working together.
Doc: Oh, no, no, no. That was professional intuition.
Melinda: Hm. Okay. Well, Lilly just admitted to being Chloe's mother, which leads me to believe that your intuition is as outdated as your office.
Doc: Hey, I need to talk to you about Charmaine.
Melinda: I know! She fired me, and I am fine with that.
Muriel: And the race is over!
- Good job, everyone.
[chuckles] I think we lost again.
- There's always next year.
- I'm not doing this next year!
- Why?
- -[Mel] Why?
- -You're cute as a lumberjack.
- It was a feeling.
- Like I'd been missing something my whole life, and suddenly I wasn't.
- I had been so numb for so long,
- I couldn't feel anything at that point.
- I know.
- But you were brave enough to open up to me.
- For that, I am forever grateful.
Jack: Well, you don't have any ice, but you are stocked on frozen vegetables. So I'm using peas.
Melinda: Yeah, I don't know how those ended up in there.
Jack: One day they just showed up. Well, Doc bought 'em for Hope after her heart attack. She was never gonna eat 'em, so she stashed 'em there so that he wouldn't find them in the trash.
- I love you too, sweetheart. I'm so sorry.
Lilly: I'm so sorry.
Lilly: It's okay.
- -[Tara cries]
- -Yeah, it's okay.
- -[Tara sobs]
- -Oh my God.
- -[Tara sobs]
- -It's okay, baby.
- Hey, Mel, it's me.
- Hey, what's wrong?
[groans] You need to let that go.
- -It's not like it went viral.
- -Connie is viral enough!
- Taking risks is what makes life interesting.
- If you don't know that by now,
- I can't help you.
- Where are you going?
- Home. So you don't have to worry about Connie anymore.
- -Oh...
- -He's doing a supply run in Grace Valley.
- We only have one room left, and, uh...
- I'm nervous that you won't like it.
- Hope told me that you're very picky.
- Yeah.
- -[Jo Ellen] Come take a look.
- -[Mel] Okay.
- -[Jo Ellen] After you.
- -[Mel] Thank you.
- Okay, then do what I say.
- Okay, great. Can you hold down his legs?
- -Ready?
- -Yep.
- Okay.
- Okay. Hold him down.
- -Okay.
- -[hissing]
- I just feel grateful to feel so loved.
- You know, they say that love heals all wounds.
[chuckles] You think that's true?
- Yeah, I do.
- I do.
- I'm talking about you writing a birth control prescription for my teenage niece, without my consent.
- Maybe we should step outside.
- You bet your bottom dollar we'll step outside.
- -I'll be right back.
- -[sighs]
- -Hey! Have you seen Christopher?
- -You mean recently?
- -Yeah.
- -Well, then, no.
- But I'll figure it out.
[Brady] And let's… let's keep this to ourselves, all right?
- Guys start thinking the company's in trouble, they'll bolt, then I'm screwed.
- All right.
- Bravo.
- Your performance as Doc's supportive ex-wife was flawless, but unfortunately for you, the show's not over.
- Because when you screw things up with Doc again, and we both know you will,
- I'll be there to pick up the pieces.
- Do you miss it?
- Yes and no.
- I had, um...
[coughs] People who... depended on me.
- And Virgin River, well, it's, uh... it's a utopia, compared to a war zone.
Jack: Hey, listen to me. You walk away from here right now, you never come back here. You understand me?
Dan: So long, Jack.
- Look, I really gotta get going.
- Why don't you get somebody to cover for you?
- What is this, National Question Jack Day?
- Jack, I'm not trying to upset you.
- I know, I know. I'm just... I gotta...
- I gotta get going. All right?
- I'll, uh, I'll call ya later.
- No, look, if the rental car is not fit for the road, then just return it and--
- Okay, just… just be safe.
- And, yeah, I'll meet you at the reception.
- Um… I… I love you.
- -Hey, cool it!
- -[man] Knock it off!
- Cool it. Knock it off!
- Get up. Get off.
- Now, do we got a problem here?
- No problem, Preacher.
- No problem at all.
Doc: I didn't run away. I didn't leave. Seattle is where I was from. Virgin River is my home. You gave me that. And I love this place, and I love you. And I know I made a terrible mistake. And I've apologized. Why can't you just let it go?
Hope: You just don't get it.
Doc: I don't. I don't. Can you just explain it?
Hope: If you haven't gotten it by now, you never will.
- Jimmy's back.
[man on radio] All right.
Jack: Your sister sure seems to be having a good time.
Melinda: Yeah she's gifted when it comes to having fun.
Jack: Not you ?
Melinda: Well, I always had to work really hard to get what I wanted. And with Joey it just kind of came easily. Its hard to compete with her.
Jack: Come on. I don't see any competition.
Melinda: Yeah that's because I've gotten good at hiding my flaws.
Jack: Too bad you don't see yourself the way the rest of the world does.
Hope: Tonight is Virgin River's annual Moonlight Mingle.
Melinda: Still lost.
Hope: The Moonlight mingle is the premier social event in the Virgin River calendar. Every year, the entire town gets together on one of our resident farms for dinner and dancing. When you least expect it, the DJ shouts mingle and all dancers have to switch partners.
Melinda: So it's kind of like a Square dance.
Hope: No! Its not like square dancing, this is a semi-formal event.
Jack: It's actually kind of elegant!
Melinda: Okay. Well thank you very much but I'm going to have to pass
Hope: You cant pass. That would be considered highly unsociable
Melinda: By who ?
Hope: Me ! And the entire town.
Melinda: I'm not much of a dancer
Joey: That's a lie !
Melinda: Joey !
Dan: Does Jack know you're here?
Brie: No. Why?
Dan: He wouldn't want me having drinks with his sister.
Brie: How do you know I'm his sister?
Dan: Small town. I might've asked around a little.
Dan: I think me being successful on my own is killing you.
Jack: What, so your definition of success is working for a drug dealer?
Dan: Admit it. You hate the fact that I'm making more money than you.
Jack: What you're doing isn't work. It's a felony.
- -Daniel Brady.
- -Brie.
- You're under arrest for the attempted murder of Jack Sheridan.
- -Brie, I'm innocent.
- -Don't.
- -You have the right to remain silent.
- -Brie! Get off me!
- Anything you say can and will be used against you in court.
- Brie! Brie, I didn't shoot Jack!
Melinda: Look, Hope, the bottom line is that this is not what I signed up for.
Hope: Join the club, sweetheart. Life rarely gives us what we want.
Lizzie: We had sex.
Connie: Oh. Under my roof.
Lizzie: Aunt Connie, is it the sex or the location that's making you so mad?
Jack: You deserve to be with someone that can give you everything you want. I don't think that's me.
Melinda: Are you saying that you wanna end this?
Jack: It's not because I want to.
- This one's no different.
- But I have tricks.
- Okay. I would love a hot shower.
- All right. I'm just over at the Fitches', so it won't take long.
- Oh, take your time.
- Okay.
- Hey.
- Gonna check in with Deputy Howard.
- Be right back.
- Hey, why don't you grab me a Coke from the kitchen first?
- Otherwise, I might be too parched to speak clearly. Know what I mean?
- Why not, Mike?
- You afraid everyone's gonna find out you're not such a hero after all?
- You know what?
- I'm not the criminal around here. You are.
[Brady] Hm.
- Well, I know what you did in Iraq, Mike.
- You got blood on your hands just like everyone else.
Ricky: Never seen someone eat so much candy in my entire life.
Lizzie: Makes me happy.
- -If you're feeling better.
- -That sounds nice.
- Why don't you just wake me when you get up?
[quietly] Okay.
- Here.
- I love you.
- I love you too.
Charmaine: Let's go dancing
Jack: Why don't we get a drink first?
- -Who's Jack? I--
- -Jack's Bar.
- Only place to eat in town after five.
- You can walk.
- Out the door and to the left.
- Okay, but we're not done talking about this.
- Of course we aren't.
- Bye.
- I'm just... surprised.
- Kind of a crappy thing to do to someone, don't you think?
- Call me if you need anything.
- Okay, thanks.
- Yep.
- Hmm.
- Yeah.
- Thanks. I'm gonna grab a shower and try to get some sleep.
- Okay.
Melinda: Hey.
- I love you.
- Love you too.
- You know, you can tell how a person feels about someone by the sacrifices they're willing to make.
- I know you loved her, and I hope for your sake, she comes back one day.
- Mm-hmm.
- It's just a meal.
- Where?
- Arthur's.
- You're paying, right?
- Okay.
- Fair warning, I'm gonna order lobster.
- -Good.
- -And two desserts.
- Yeah.
- Uh, if you'll excuse me,
- I've been up since 3:30, so I'm gonna take a break.
- Thanks.
Melinda: You're welcome.
- Congratulations.
- Oh my gosh, Tara. This is…
- It's beautiful, but I can't accept that.
- That's a family heirloom.
- No, she wanted you to have it.
- She said if you ever leave, she wanted you to have a piece of Virgin River.
- And if you don't take it, she'll haunt both of us.
- Okay. Thank you.
- Lonergan.
- Jack.
- Hey.
- You do yourself a favor, and you let Brady stay gone this time.
- I can't. I--
- Maybe it would help to talk about it.
- I don't know.
- There are no rules on the best way to handle these things.
- No. Jo, I...
- I-I gotta get back to dinner. Um...
- I'll talk to you later, okay?
- -Fine. Bye.
- -Bye.
- But that nurse got me through one of the hardest days of my life.
- And it was in that moment that I realized that this... this is what I wanna do for other people.
- And now, every time I walk into an exam room or a hospital, I...
- I think about my mother.
- I'm gonna go check on Chloe.
- It's unbelievable.
- Finally getting everything I ever wanted.
- Well, I'm happy that you're feeling better.
- Can't wait to tell Jack that I'm going home. [laughs]
- Well, we'll talk soon, yeah?
- -Mm-hmm.
- -Okay.
- Yeah, listen, everything with Paige worked out.
- She just has to leave town for a family emergency and needed help shutting off the main water valve.
- So I'm just gonna stop by my house, and, um, I'll be back to go through the receipts.
- Okay. Bye.
DJ: Mm. Hear that?
- Let's mingle.
- I need to believe that the work that I'm doing matters.
- -Coffee is important.
- -I'm not your assistant.
- I am the doctor.
- I know, and I respect that.
- -Good.
- -But respect needs to run both ways for us to continue to work together.
- All right, you're gonna be mighty uncomfortable.
- Come upstairs,
- I'll give you some of my clothes, and throw these in the dryer.
- Or you could stand here and freeze.
- No, yeah. Please. [laughs]
- Lead the way.
- -Preach!
- -Hey, buddy!
- Oh!
[chuckling] I missed you.
- Can I stay with you?
- Yeah.
- Yeah, of course. Absolutely.
- Hey.
- Do you believe me?
- Yeah.
- I believe that's what you think, but in my career, I've learned that people are capable of justifying their actions no matter how reprehensible.
- -I-I don't know.
- -Blood type?
- -Um... It was...
- -Height? Weight?
- Uh, he's, uh...
- -Relation?
- -He's my husband!
- He's my husband! Mark!
- -[thunderclap]
- -[screams] No! No!
Melinda: Charmaine, you can think whatever you want about me, but I have done absolutely nothing to you. In fact, I've gone out of my way to be nice to you.
Charmaine: Yeah, sleeping with Jack was real sweet of you.
Melinda: That doesn't give you the right to spread rumors about me.
Charmaine: It's not a rumor if it's true.
Hope: Her references are good as gold.
Doc: Then what the heck's she doin' here?
Hope: I guess she wanted a change. Even if you're too stubborn to admit it, we both know you need help. Give her a chance. You got nothing to lose.
Doc: Thirty days. But if she can't cut it, I've got your word this is the last time you stick your nose in my business.
- What about you?
- I'm gonna keep watch.
- Nightcap?
- Yeah.
- Now all I need is a mint on my pillow.
- -And a pillow.
- -[chuckles]
- You need to disappear completely.
- All right, give me your phone.
- I'm sorry for dragging you into this.
- You and Christopher, you didn't do anything wrong.
- Wes was a dangerous man, and you will never, ever have to fear him again.
Jack: I'm taking Mel out to lunch by the river.
Hope: Pray that it works, because I need you to counteract the calamity Doc's created between the two of them.
Jack: Firing her didn't help things.
Hope: I'm working on mending that fence. You focus on showing her what Virgin River has to offer.
Jack: Gourmet peanut butter and jelly?
Hope: Heaven help us. Out of the kitchen. Leave the food to me. Leave the lunch to me. You can't make important decisions while eating peanut butter.
- Wow.
- -You'll make an excellent marine, son.
- -[sighs] Thank you, sir.
- So that's it? It's official?
- All that's left is for you to sign your contract and pick a recruit depot.
- Now, I know you were leaning towards San Diego, but I think we should at least discuss South Carolina.
- I still don't like it.
- Can we go?
- Yeah, sure.
- Okay, gotta go.
- Remember, manipulation comes in all shapes and sizes.
- Oh. That's a nice slogan.
- We should get matching hats.
- -I should be getting home.
- -Okay.
- Um, please, please, don't tell anyone.
- Lilly, I… I promise I won't, but, uh, ju--
- God, Lilly, just… [sighs]
- …just know if you ever need me,
- I'm here whenever.
- Thank you.
[Brady] You know, I'm getting that.
- Can I buy you a drink?
Jack: That'd be a no.
- Hey, speak for yourself.
- You can leave.
- Give me a minute.
Jack: Well, I had a little help.
- Brie actually helped me with the tea lights.
- -That was her idea.
- -[quietly] Oh my gosh.
- She's so sweet.
- I am blown away.
- That's the reaction I was looking for.
Ricky: At school, it's like I'm invisible. Everyone just looks right through me like I don't even exist. Like they don't even see me.
Lizzie: I see you.
- Okay.
- Now, I can count on Clear River and Garverville for materials, security, distribution.
- The only holdout in the whole county...
- Virgin River.
- I think you might be able to help me with that.
Doc: I would tell you to stay out of Mel's bushiness but that'd be like... like telling a bull to ignore the color red.
- -Okay.
- -We got this.
[instructor] Vamos.
[in English] Stay connected with your partner.
- Nice. See? Oh, you...
[instructor] Beautiful.
- Beautiful, people. Vamos.
Muriel: You're doing great, Doc.
- Hello?
- Doc?
- If I have to fight to be in my children's lives, I'm gonna fight.
- It will be a fight, and custody cases are emotionally and financially draining.
- They're always a huge disruption to people's lives.
- Your twins are lucky to have a father willing to sacrifice so much for them.
Valerie: I'll be in touch.
- Thank you.
- the idea of home doesn't really exist for me anymore... because you were my home.
- Whenever there was a storm, you were my shelter.
- Without you, I've...
- I just feel lost.
Hope: I guess I'll save you the trouble of asking me to leave. Ladies... enjoy your afternoon.
- Can we go on talkin' about the hot doctor?
- Hey. What'd I say about being respectful?
- Okay. I'm sorry, but respectfully, you know, she's extremely--
- Okay.
- -I'm gonna head back to the bar.
- -Okay.
- -I, uh... I got this.
- -All right.
Melinda: So, should I just pull up a chart and grab a patient?
Doc: No. Until I can confirm that you are competent, no patients.
Melinda: Well, how can you confirm my competency if I can't see any patients?
Doc: Chitchat is over. I've got a waitin' room full of people.
- Ooh. Unless, of course, the rumor is just a rumor.
- No, you heard correctly.
- Doc is fair game.
- Oh! That is wonderful news!
- I mean, condolences on the divorce. Aw.
- Yeah, I'll take that, thanks.
- -[clattering]
- -Oh.
- -Oh, yeah.
- -Okay.
- -Hey.
- -Hey.
- -[Mel] You all right?
- -[Ricky] Yeah, I'm-I'm okay.
- I will.
- -Okay.
- -Okay.
- But, hey... only if you apply to a couple of schools... as backup.
- Okay. Yeah.
- You really think it's a good idea for people to be puttin' their dirty hands in the same bowl over and over?
- Come on, man. What's your problem?
- They're just lemons.
- -[sighs]
- -We got systems here, Brady.
- And we're not about to change 'em just because you're too lazy to do things right.
- Um... Could you drop me at the McCrea cabin?
- It's in Virgin River.
- I've got the address here.
- Anyone who lives within 50 miles of here knows the McCrea cabin.
- Oh. Well, from the photo, it's beautiful.
- -So when's Preach coming home?
- -I thought he'd be home by now.
- Wait. So you mean this whole pizza's just for us?
- Well, how about we save him a slice?
Jack: I don't ever want you putting yourself in danger because of me.
Melinda: Well, I can't promise that. Love makes people do crazy things.
- Yeah.
- Night, Jack.
- Night.
[sighs] Are you sure
- I can't help with the dishes?
- Knock yourself out.
- -I just wanted Perky Penny out of my hair.
- -[chuckles]
- Any idea when she'll be back?
- I'm sorry, I need to get back to work.
- We're a little short-handed right now.
- Oh.
- Uh, I heard about your run-in with Brady too.
- Goodbye, Connie.
- I'm not sure if you're gettin' these messages, but...
- I want to talk, so, please, can you call me back?
- Hey. I, uh... I gotta run out.
- All right.
- For the record,
- I would've knocked you all the way out.
- Thank you.
- But... you do know you're nuts, right?
- I happen to know you like nuts on just about everything.
- Lucky for you, that's true.
- -[thunder rumbling]
- -[rain pattering]
- Jimmy tells me you're done workin' that bar job.
- Yeah, might be.
- What about Jack?
- I thought you two were tight.
- I got a lot of friends.
- What I don't have is money.
- From the looks of it, you don't got that problem.
Charmaine: Are you gonna get rid of the gray? Oh, I think some lowlights would just really brighten your face up.
Hope: My face is bright enough.
Lizzie: The guy at the front desk was so lame. I forgot my driver's license, so he wasn't gonna let me in.
Dr. Vernon Mullins: How did you get through?
Lizzie: I started crying. I can cry on command, it's pretty useful.
- Yeah, I know.
- Hmm.
- -Thanks for the campout, Preach.
- -You're welcome.
- So, you wanna help me get that fire started?
- -[laughs] Heck yeah.
- -Yeah? Good.
- You get the crackers, chocolate.
- I'll get the marshmallows.
- Jack?
- Jack?
- You have... fishing charters.
- Daysailers.
- Powerboats.
- -Over here, you have all the live-aboards.
- -[bugle starts playing "Taps"]
- Is that "Taps"?
- Yeah. Lots of vets live around here.
- But if Charmaine is anxious being in a hospital, that's something you need to consider.
- So, you know what?
- I'm gonna take Tucker for a walk and give you guys some time to figure out what you wanna do. Okay?
Melinda: Thanks.
- Come on, bud.
- You're not gonna have any?
- -I'm on duty, ma'am.
- -[chuckles]
- Here.
- You're gonna freeze.
- -[Chloe cries]
- -Okay, okay.
- -Oh, you're not ready. You're not ready.
- -[Chloe cries]
- Well, you wanna know something?
- When it comes to all of this,
- I'm not ready either.
- -[Chloe cries]
- -Okay? Don't tell anyone.
- Okay.
- Hey. Christopher. I didn't--
- I didn't lie.
- Sometimes things happen that are out of our control.
- Christopher?
- What?
- You know I'd be home if I could.
- Thank you.
Doc: Yeah.
[Preacher] Paige?
- I got here as soon as I could.
- What happened to your face?
- Paige?
- It's okay.
- So, um, what brings you to town, if you don't mind me asking?
- Uh, yeah, I'm looking for my grandfather.
- Oh, well, I know almost everyone in town.
- What's his name?
- Dr. Vernon Mullins.
Charmaine: Todd's not allergic. He's, um... he's just not a dog person. I thought I could change his mind, but obviously, I couldn't. So...
Jack: So he's just making you get rid of your dog, huh?
Charmaine: He's not making me. It's a sacrifice, Jack.
Jack: Pretty crappy sacrifice, if you ask me.
Charmaine: I wasn't asking you.

- Most days I don't even know who I am.
- It was my dream when I was younger to be a vet.
- Have a big farmhouse and fill it with kids.
- Well, dreams are funny things.
- They can come true when you least expect it.

Melinda: Well, you know, pain doesn't just disappear. It follows you wherever you go until you deal with it.
Jack: What are you asking me?
Charmaine: Am I in this alone?
Jack: I will support you and this baby. You know that.
Charmaine: Jack, that's not what I'm asking.

Jack: You still think I don't understand?
Melinda: Understand what?
Jack: That there's no timeline for getting over the loss of someone you love.
- Hello?
- I honestly don't care what you do with my stuff.
- Look, throw everything in the trash, or don't. Just stop calling me.
- Thanks, Doc.
- Yeah.
- All right.
- Tell Hope we'll be over in a few hours.
- -All right, yeah.
- -Okay.
- You'll see they'll all get along.
- Oh, I know you don't believe that.
- All it does is fuel the flames.
- No matter how difficult somebody is, if you've done wrong by them, the right thing to do is apologize.
- I'm proud of you.
- How proud?
- Very, very proud.
Joey: So get ready, 'cause I feel like dancing.
Melinda: Well, I don't think the Mingle is gonna live up to your expectations.
Joey: As long as there's a bar, I will be fine. Okay?
- Hell, he thinks any straight job is beneath him.
- Well, he's here.
- -He's trying.
- -[phone rings]
- You really think he's changed?
- Hey.
- Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I'll see you soon.

- -Trust me?
- -Hm.
Muriel: No.
- There's no need for you to be sorry.
- I, um...
- Thank you for being honest and upfront.
- And I...
- I just hope we can remain friends.
- I'm sure we can manage that. [chuckles]
- And, um, if anything ever changes, then you be sure to let me know.
- Please, no more questions.
- -Doc, what's going on?
- -[sighs]
- I'm retiring.
- What?
- -Should I come back later?
- -No, no. Uh, Bert, just follow me.
- -Is everything okay around here?
- -Uh, yeah. It's business as usual.
Jack: Listen, I wanted to apologize for Charmaine's behavior. She hasn't been herself lately.
Melinda: It's fine.
Jack: No, it isn't.
Melinda: You're right, it's not fine.
Jack: Well, at least we agree on something.
Melinda: What about Bill and the kids? It's your birthday tomorrow?
Joey: Well, this was his present to me. Three days, no kids, and no responsibilities. What is the matter? Aren't you happy to see me?
Melinda: I am happy to see you. I just find it really odd that you chose to have your birthday in Virgin River.
Joey: I chose to spend my birthday with you.
- Well, people didn't know a lot about safety back then.
- Now, why don't we go down to the trails and see if we can go horseback riding?
- I wanna watch Bert and Molly practice.

- And I've saved up
- 'cause there's nothing to do around here.
- Moving in together is a really big step.
- You don't wanna live with me?
- Like I said, it's a really big step.
- -You know what? Forget I said anything.
- -Wait… [sighs]
- -Do you want me to go--
- -No, stay, please.
- -Is everything all right?
- -She's developed a fever.
- Oh God, not an infection.
- I've ordered a chest CT and a full blood panel.
- I'll let you know more as soon as I have the results.
- Uh, thank you.
- Found out same as you... at Doc's.
- I don't believe you.
- Well, believe what you want, but...
- I haven't spoken to her since she left.
- But you're happy she's back.
- See you in a sec.
- then I'll allow it.
- Great! Thank you.
- I wouldn't get too excited.
- Jack can barely look me in the eye.
- He's not gonna want to have Charmaine here!
- Where he's guaranteed to see the one person in town he doesn't want to have anything to do with.
- You okay?
- Yeah.
- Yeah. I just got a lot on my mind.
- Oh, and Hope's lookin' for you.
- Is somethin' up with her?
- Just Hope being Hope.
- the value in accepting help when it's offered.
- What if when I'm better, um...
- I still can't take care of her?
- I'm sure the town would love nothing more than to help you and Chloe.
- Oh...
- Just think about it, okay?
- Before I met Todd, my aunt and uncle invited me to go live with them in Portland.
- -Charmaine.
- -I…
- I've gotta go. Okay?
- Can you just please--
- Don't make this difficult.
- -You all right?
- -It's okay. Yeah. It's fine.
- Oh my God.
- This is exactly like the one that Joey and I had growing up.
- I can't believe you remembered that.
- After the fire, you were totally there for me.
- This is my way of saying, "I love you, and I appreciate you."
- Where are my manners? Please come in.
- -Here we go.
- -Oh.
- So, what should we toast to?
- Uh...
- Friendship.
- To good friends getting to know each other even better.
- Nah, it's nothin'.
- Mm.
[sighs] So... what do you do?
- Well, I don't work in a bar.
- Hell, I hardly work at all.
- -Do you think I'm too sensitive?
- -Fine. I...
- I won't yell.
- And you promise not to badger me if I keep winning?
- Consider this a badger-free zone.
- Come on, ladies. Let's give her a chance.
- -[sighs]
- -Finally! You were always my favorite.
- It's just… [sighs]
- Jack is…
Brie: So?
- …so upset with me, and--
- No one needs to know.
- It could be our little secret.
[Doc] Look at it this way.
- If you spend all your time focused on the ending, you are gonna miss the show.
- -Thank you.
- -[Doc chuckles softly]
- I needed to hear that. [chuckles softly]
- You know what? I did too. [chuckles]
- This stuff smells.
- I know, buddy, but it's only for a bit.
- I don't want to do this anymore.
- I'm sorry, but we have to.
- For how long?
- Until I can be sure we're both safe.
Melinda: My umbrella broke.
- Me? If I was in charge, I would've put a bullet right between his eyes.
- Listen, Jack's got nothing, all right?
- Including a witness.
- Killing him would bring all kinds of heat.
- I ain't worried about Jack Sheridan.
- But we need to talk business... in private.
Brie: Did you ride when you were a kid?
Dan: Yep. My uncle got me into dirt biking to keep me out of trouble.
Brie: Did it work?
Dan: No. At least he tried. That's more than my parents ever did.
Jack: I know it's hard for you to stay out of everybody's business, but reading that letter crosses a line, even for you.
Hope: I was afraid Charmaine had written something hurtful to you.
Jack: And if she had?
Hope: I could've tossed the letter and spared you some heartache.
Jack: It wasn't your letter to toss.
Jack: Anyone else need a beer?
- No, I'm good.
- I'm good.
- All right.
- And the little girl?
- She never forgave herself... for being too afraid to get help.
- Connie, I am so sorry that happened to you.
- No child should have to grow up without a mother.
- And I'm damned if I'm gonna let that happen to Christopher.
Calvin: Now you listen to me, Jack. Today you walk. Next time you poke your nose in my business, show up on my land, talk to my crew, that day will be your last.
- but we were together, and... that's how I want to remember it.
- She's ready.
- Are you?
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
- Or if you want something less formal, you're welcome to use the farm.
- Yeah, if you have to have a ceremony, the farm's a good idea.
- Connie, no one wants to smell animal excrement on their wedding day.
- -Wait, I would clean the barn, though...
- -Well, they could do it down by the pond.
- -It's nowhere near the barn!
- -It's not gonna be...
- Besides, you might wanna...
Melinda: You know what I miss about L.A.?
Jack: Smog? Traffic? A little gun violence?
- Hey.
- Help.
- Jack, you belong with someone else.
- Don't.
- I don't want someone else. I want you.
- I can't do this. I'm sorry.
- Come on.
- -Come on! [grunts]
- -[engine sputtering]
- You've reached the voice mail of Dr. Vernon Mullins.

- It's me. I need you.
- Please?
- It's urgent.
- Okay, I'll be there as soon as I can.
- Okay. Hurry.
- It takes time. A lot of these small towns haven't digitized their systems yet.
- Okay, well, until then?
[sighs] Go home.
- Try to calm down.
- I will calm down when whoever tried to kill me is behind bars.
- You, um… you want some water?
Brie: Sure.
- -Sure.
- -Hmm. Okay.
- You set up the board, and I'll go and fetch the bottle of wine and the baked brie.
- And what color do you want to be, brown or white?
- Take your pick. Whichever you prefer.
- Huh.
- Home, I mean.
- No.
- So, uh, does that mean you'll stay in Virgin River?
- Depends.
- You're going to community college, right?
- Yeah.
- So, if you're staying, then I'm in no hurry to leave.
- We're barely keeping our heads above water here.
- Why don't you try Connie?
- I think her family used to own a bakery in Eureka.
- She may be able to help.
- Good to know.
- Thanks.
Jack: I'm here for a latte.
Paige: I never thought I'd see the day I'd steam milk for you.
Jack: No, not for me. For Mel.
Paige: Aah. Suddenly, everything seems right in the world again.
Jack: But you know what? Let's make it two.
Melinda: I don't know what I'm more surprised at, that you built a batting cage for yourself in the middle of the woods, or that I'm holding a bat and wearing a helmet. Are we really doing this?
Jack: How do you usually burn off stress?
Melinda: I run.
Jack: One of those people, huh?
Melinda: What is that supposed to mean?
Jack: You know, 'those people'. People who constantly crave productivity. My theory is that runners are the same people who stress clean.
- You want anything?
- I'll go to the cafeteria.
- No, no.
- Are you okay?
- I'm just worried.
- I have made so many mistakes when it comes to Hope.
[sighs] I just pray to God this isn't another one.
Doc: So, what do you want to do for dinner tonight?
Hope: Heaven help me. I just made you breakfast.
Doc: That you picked up at the bakery truck, which was very nice of you.
- I'm not supposed to drive the car outside of town.
- I guess I'll have to go by myself.
- I could always hitchhike.
- Don't... don't do that. I'll take you.
- Pick me up at 1:00. I'll close early.
- -You can do that?
- -Who's gonna stop me?
- -Who am I to say no to a massage?
- -That's what I'm talking about.
- I'll call Doc, tell him you're not coming in today.
- -No, no, it's okay. I'll do that.
- -Whatever you want.
- Thank you.
- -It's your day.
- -It's my day
- You're gonna get pampered.
- who helped her when I couldn't.
[whispers] Yes.
- Hey, there.
- Hey, there.
- Sh, sh, sh, sh.
- Oh, that's it.
- And you, you'll have no one to pass it on to.
- -[cell phone chimes]
- -I'm not trying to be mean.
- I just want you to understand my point of view.
- I'm sorry. I have to go.
- -Mel, I--
- -No, no, it's a work thing.
- Just stay and finish dinner, okay?
- Well…
- So, uh, I was wondering, um, does the invitation for me to stay still stand?
- Yes! [laughs]
- Yes, of course it does. Yes.
- -Okay. Good.
- -Yes.
Jack: You're awfully quiet.
Melinda: I was just thinking.
Jack: About?
Melinda: You know this morning, when we were talking about being real with each other? How would you feel about me having a baby?
- Of course not.
- Okay, then.
- Does this help?
- Uh, yeah.
- How about another one?
- -Yeah, that's much better.
- -Okay, then. [giggles]
- -...we'd have a future together.
- -♪ I can feel you falling ♪
- I love you.
- Look...
- -♪ I can feel you ♪
- If you-if you don't feel the same way,
- I have to know.
- I can't be here right now.
DJ: Time to mingle.
- Brady.
- So, how long before you disappear again?
- I told him he could stay as long as he wants.
- Mm.
- I'm gonna head to Clear River.
- Run some errands. Catch you in a bit.
- Yeah.
- I'll have you know, I did what I had to do to secure medical assistance for Virgin River.
- And I'm doing what I have to do to ensure the health of my patient.
- Well, when this whole thing blows up, and trust me, it will, it'll be your fault.
Melinda: Mm.
- Are you gonna get in with me?
- Hm, no, I got a few details to attend to.
- -Details?
- -Mm.
- The only thing you need to focus on is you. Get in there.
- Okay, then.
- Mom, did you call me?
- Oh, my God.
- Okay, sorry.
- -Paige, are you okay?
- -Um...
- Tell Hope that we're very sorry, but we had to go.
- Come on, buddy.
- You say it all the time.
- And why am I just hearing about this now?
- I wasn't aware
- I had to run my schedule past you.
- What's the conference about?
- I'll be back tomorrow.
- Where are you staying?
- As I said, Seattle!
- -Yeah, 'cause you're the expert here.
- -Excuse me?
- You got your ex-girlfriend pregnant, and you're in love with someone else.
- I don't think you're in the position to be handing out advice on women to anyone!
- Hey, that was way outta line.
- What the hell was that?
Melinda: What do you want from me?
Jack: I want you back.
- and you'll come over later to explain.
- Why can't you just do the intakes?
- Because we have a system, and I don't want it interrupted.
- No, this is you treating me like your assistant again.
- You know what?
- If you were my assistant and you spoke to me like this, you would be gone.
- Well, it's not required.
- Look, all I need are the pills.
- Okay. Well, come with me to the clinic, and I'll go over the proper usage and side effects.
- This isn't brain surgery.
- Can't you just put them in a bag?
- Oh, my gosh. Look, just come with me.
- That way, if you need me,
- I'll be right here.
- No. I can't let you do that.
[sighs] Look, there's a chair in my room.
- Can you just stay there until I pass out?
- Okay?
- Okay.
- Are you proposing to me?
- No, I just really want to watch a Sandra Bullock movie.
- But I believe she'll be here in a minute or two. Yeah.
- It's just not the same without her, is it?
- Well said.
- -[cell phone pings]
- -Um…
- Let me take this.
- I'll see you in a minute.
- Yeah, yeah, of course.
- -Did you get the Chateau de Beaucastel?
- -Yeah. I got a whole case in the back.
- Sounds like we're gonna be here all night.
- Yeah. So, hey, listen, fellas.
- Let me get you started with some drinks.
- -All right? Okay.
- -Thank you.
- Love this place.
- It's perfect.
- That is how Calvin treats the people that work for him.
[clears throat] You don't know that.
- I can't prove it, but I know it.
- We'll find another farm.
- Yeah, go ahead.
- If you don't care about your life, then why should I?
- I can't raise a baby on my own.
- You wouldn't have to be by yourself.
- You could move back here.
- We could help each other.
- I mean, the kids would love to have a baby cousin.
- What if I have Mark's baby, and it makes me miss him all over again?
- Or what if it ends up being a beautiful way for him to live on?
- Thank you so much for coming in today.
- It was my pleasure.
- I look forward to hearing from you both.
- Absolutely.
- Oh, no. It-it all turned out okay.
- Oh, no. I called the bar when I should have called the sheriff.
- I just thought somebody picked you up and gave you a ride.
- Bert, really, it's okay.
- No, I-I should have gone out and looked for you.
- It's okay.
- You had no way of knowing what happened.
Hope: Well, You're about as helpful as tits on a bull!
- Jack, she's never gonna be okay with us being together.
- And it's only gonna get more complicated once the baby comes.
- Okay, what about what I want?
- Look me in the eye and tell me you don't care about me the same way I care about you, and I will leave you alone.
- I can't.
- well, they're coming after you.
- That is, if you're not in prison.
- What are you talking about?
- Word is your alibi fell apart.
- You talking about Jack?
- I got nothing to do with it.
- Then I guess you got nothing to worry about.
Charmaine: I can't stay here. Hope's giving me a migraine.
Melinda: Yeah, she does that to people.
Dan: I know what you did in Iraq, Mike. You got blood on your hands just like everyone else.
Hope: What are you doing?
Doc: I didn't think you should be alone for the first few nights.
Hope: So, you slept out here all night?
Doc: Well, I didn't feel like coming inside.
- And breaking up was definitely the safe thing to do.
- Mel…
- I love you.
- I know.
- I love you too.
- That's why my heart is telling me to stay with you.
- grab some sleep, and then clean yourself up, okay?
[chuckles] All right.
- Long time.
- Welcome back.
- Thanks, man.
- Yeah.
- No. It's too late for that.
- See, if I don't feel I can trust you...
- You can. I swear.
- Just tell me what I need to do, and I'll do it.
- I need you to show me I can trust you.
- -How?
- -You'll see.
Melinda: When I couldn't find you, I thought something happened to you. It felt like I couldn't breathe.
Jack: That's how I felt about you when you left for L.A. And the worst part, was when you were gone, I realized I don't want to live my life without you.
- That was so bad.
- I apologize.
- That was completely unplanned.
- -[Doc groans]
- -[Mel laughs]
- Thank you. Thank you for coming over.
- -Of course.
- -[Doc sighs]
- I just want you to know that you're not alone in this.
Hope: In the words of the late Benjamin Franklin, guests, like fish, begin to smell after three days.
- Let's just forget about it.
- Go out, have some fun.
- -Really? You're not mad?
- -No. I should not have said what I did.
- -Okay.
- -So get ready, 'cause I feel like dancing.
- Well, I don't think the Mingle is gonna live up to your expectations.
- As long as there's a bar, I will be fine.
- Okay?
- Let's find something for you to wear that doesn't involve boots.
- Isn't that sweet of her?
- Very.
- With everything that she's done for me,
- I can see why you admire her so much.
- It wasn't a big deal.
- Well, it is to us.
- -This is gonna be a little cold. Sorry.
- -[inhales sharply]
Jack: You made cookies for the dog?
Charmaine: Yeah, and I'd make you cookies. All you had to do is ask.
- Yeah.
- I'm sorry I haven't stayed in touch.
- I don't blame you.
- Mom didn't make it easy.
- -She's hurting.
- -No.
- She's a narcissist.
[laughs] Yeah. Yeah, she is.
- You feel like I'm judging you?
- I mean, I would.
- No, you wouldn't.
- You still think I don't understand?
- Understand what?
- That there's no timeline for getting over the loss of someone you love.
Melinda: You know you're one of the reasons I'm still standing.
Jack: What do you mean?
Melinda: I wouldn't have lasted more than two days in Virgin River, if it wasn't for you. So thank you.
Dan: Look, I, uh... I just came by to see how you're doing.
Jack: I'm doing fine, thanks. You can go now.
- This is so beautiful.
- Yeah.
- Let's go dancing.
- Why don't we get a drink first?
- Um, sure. I'm just gonna go say hi to some of the girls from the shop.
- -I'll meet you at the bar.
- -Okay.
Melinda: I promised Jack that I would saw through a tree trunk with him.
Brie: You really must love my brother.
- Yeah, I have.
- Maybe this place can... offer some comfort?
- A place to call home.
- It's beautiful.
- Well, I hope you'll stick around.
- Give or take. [sighs]
- This is gonna be really tight on your arm, okay?
- -Okay...
- -Okay.
- There we go. Good.
- I have to listen to your lungs.
- Okay.
- Yeah.
- There are only patients to treat.
- -[door opening]
- -Ah.
- Hi!
- I just.. I have to dry my hair.
- I'll be 20 minutes, tops.
- Ugh.
- And there are times that I wish I became a veterinarian.
Jack: Oh now you're killing me !
Melinda: Ooh you're gonna be just fine !
Jack: Good night. Will I see you tomorrow ?
Melinda: Umm. I make great pancakes!
Jack: I bet you do !
- Yeah.
- All right.
- Well, I'm gonna have you sit tight because the cream needs to absorb before I can bandage your hands.
- Okay.
- -I'll be right back.
- -Okay.
- So, why don't you start by drawing up the guest list?
- -Okay.
- -Okay.
- Bye.
- -This is all for you.
- -Thank you.
- -Yeah, okay.
- -I'll be eating forever.
- Right.
- She thinks that it's for people who are putting on airs.
- Well, I guess everyone is entitled to their own opinion.
- I suppose. [chuckles]
- Well, I'm going to attend, and if you're interested, maybe we could go together?
- so go on out, find your favorite team, cheer 'em on.
- Whatever team finishes the course with the fastest time wins.
- Muriel, that megaphone looks mighty good on you.
- Well, thank you, Charles.
- -Okay! Are we ready?
- -Yeah!
- One, two…
- I do respect you, but it doesn't mean that I'm comfortable having you involved in every aspect of my life.
- I'm not talking about every aspect.
- I am just talking about the clinic.
- But this is what you gotta understand.
- The clinic, this clinic, this is my life!
- I've gotta go.
Parker: Hey.
- Is that a no?
- I'll think about it.
- All right.
- Just don't make me wait too long.
- All right, Mike, let me talk to him, and I'll know if he's our guy.
Mike: Jack, I got this.
- You know I'm right.
- Yeah, I do, but my hands are tied.
- Look, I'll call you after the interview, okay?
- Sure. Thanks.
Ricky: What's the rush?
Jack: We need Mel to stay.
Ricky: We?
Jack: Virgin River needs her. Doc isn't getting any younger.
Ricky: Yeah, she's the hottest doctor I think I have ever seen.
Jack: Hey, hey. She's a nurse practitioner, and you just be respectful.
- I tried to get Lilly to call one of her daughters, but she wouldn't budge.
- And Doc called. He's on his way with the lady from Social Services.
- Well, you want me to try talking to Lilly?
- No. I'm gonna try one more time.
- -Here.
- -Oh, gosh, thanks, Jack.
- And your findings are based on--
- A few minutes I've spent on TikTok.
- Enjoy your dinner.
- Thank you.
[quietly] Thank you.
- I have that extra order of apple pies for you.
[whispers] It was Charmaine.
- -Is she okay?
- -She seems to be doing okay, considering.
- What's-what's in the box?
- -Jack's things.
- -Oh.
- -She doesn't wanna see him face to face.
- -Yeah, well, give Jack the box.
- -Vernon.
- -What?
- Just try not to insult any more residents.
- Thank you, Jack.
- Thank you for the... the help, and the kind words, and food.
- But mostly, thank you for the whiskey.
- Any time, Mel.
- Do you want to?
- No.
- Then don't.
- I mean, your business is your business.
- Come down when you're dry, and I'll save a spot for you at the bar.
- Thank you.
- -We can--
- -No.
- We can just be friends. It'll...
- I can't do that.
[sighs] Well, it's not up to you.
- Mel.
- No.
Melinda: Hope, three days ago you had a heart attack Has that sunk in yet? Because it needs to. It was mild but you're going to have to make some time lifestyle changes.
Hope: Help me out here !
Melinda: Well you know, as much as I hate to agree with Nurse Hollywood, she has got a good point !
Melinda: You're going to need to to take it easy till we get the results of your stress test. And after we get the all clear, I'll be happy to..
Hope: I wasn't aware that 'we' had a heart attack
Melinda: You seem to be getting all your energy from stress and caffeine.
Hope: I'm sorry but how do you think I manage to run this town ? I don't get a lot of breaks. I can tell you that much
Melinda: Right, which means you're not getting enough exercise.
Doc: And she's certainly flapping those lips all day long
- I never listened to Buck's private messages.
- I'm sorry, we can't all be saints.
- You're right. There's nothing to report.
- See? Told you there was nothing to worry about.
- Now, let's get out of here, okay?
- This feels wrong.
- I think-I think that's leeching into their groundwater.
- -Do you have atropine?
- -Yeah, bag. Right side.
- That'll counteract the poison.
- -[Jeb] Help her, please.
- -Yeah. Okay. It's okay.
- -[Annabelle whimpering]
- -[Jeb] Hang in there, baby.
Pauline: Annabelle, please.
- Who said anything about hanging out?
- I mean, all we'd be doing is just, uh, taking the long way back to your car.
- But, hey, it's your choice.
- I'm not gonna ask twice.
Doc: You look like you could use some rest.
Jack: Meaning?
Doc: If I'm gonna be blunt, you look like hell.
- If there's any redness or swelling, or you see any discharge, you need to go to the hospital.
- So, I guess we can go now.
- Take them to their truck, Jimmy.
- -All right, boss.
- -[groans]
- You're welcome.
- I don't know. Just meet back here.
- Maybe bring something from the bar?
- -Sure you don't want to go out?
- -I'm positive.
- As long as I get my cupcake and my bubble bath, I will be happy.
- Okay.
- Can I have another piece?
- Try this.
[Doc] I, um…
- -I promise you I will stay in touch.
- -Okay.
- You better.
- This is their favorite spot.
- Mine too.
- They're incredible. Huh.
- Yeah.
- So, what's next?
- Nothin'.
- God, clearly the only-the only way that I'm gonna get you to stop meddling in my life is to keep you out of it.
- -So...
- -You don't mean that.
- ...keep out of it.
- Jack. I'm sorry. [sobs]
- You know, I got four walk-ins, and it's not even 9:00 a.m.
- Yeah, don't worry about it.
- You should take Hope.
- She knows the most about this area.
- Doc, I'm not sure
- I'm ready for Hope's assistance.
- I know. And do what you want, but, uh... she is the best negotiator in town.
- Well... Jack hates pushy women, so...
- Why don't we start with some meditation?
- Actually, I'm just... sleepy.
- I'm gonna go take a nap.
- -[door opens]
- -Okay.
- it'd be Hope.
- Ida has no idea what she is up against.
- Why don't we have a game of backgammon to distract you?
- Well, I suppose I do have some time before my next appointment.
- Mm, excellent.
- -Set's in the office. I'll be right back.
- -And I will clear the table.
- -Was that sterilized?
- -Where's that O-neg?
- -We need more pressure on the wound.
- -Still in V-fib.
- Paddles. Charge to 200.
- -[high-pitched tone]
- -Clear!
- -[rapid beeping]
- -♪ About a thing ♪
- -Again.
- -Clear!
- No pressure.
- Right.
- Just like I promised.
- Okay.
- Just dinner.
- Right.
- Is there somethin' else goin' on, Jack?
- Ah, come on, man.
- Charmaine's pregnant.
- Oh.
- Mm. Yeah.
Charmaine: Uh, well, I've only vomited once in the last few hours.
- You know... maybe if I had done that with Hope...
- Well, unlike you and Hope,
- Jack and I don't have a long history together.
- But... maybe you have a future.
- I know exactly what you're doing.
- No, you don't. You haven't for years.
- Because life is more to me than a Barneys mid-year sale.
- Okay, look. I may not be as smart and successful as you are, but at least I'm honest about who I am and what I want.
- -Mel...
- -No, I can't.
- No. Sometimes, people aren't ready to talk about their feelings, you know?
- Still…
- -Beating yourself up isn't gonna help her.
- -Jack! Jack!
- -Can we talk about it later?
- -Yeah.
- I love you.
- I love you too.
- to take over running the Lumberjack Games in your absence.
Hope: Don't worry.
- Carol Fleming's in charge this year.
- I'm just a figurehead.
- Good.
[glitching] Although… give a welcome--
- Hey, Hope?
Jack: So, Miss Mel Monroe from LA, what brings you to our tiny little hamlet?
Melinda: Work.
Jack: Yeah? Where you staying?
Melinda: Uh, the McCrea cabin.
Jack: Oof. What'd you do to deserve that?
Melinda: Yeah, I should have come up and vetted the place first.
Jack: Oh, come on. I think spontaneity's an admirable quality.
- People around here are just a little friendlier than you're used to.
- -Oh, people are friendly in LA.
- -Oh, really?
- -That's a point you want to debate?
- -Mm-hmm.
- Okay, go.
- Really?
- -I'm gonna go check in with Hope.
- -Yeah.
- Oh, that would be amazing. Thank you.
- Something wrong?
- Oh, I think I need to get these glasses checked.
- -Can you make out these bottom two lines?
- -Sure.
- Let's see.
- Oh, well, it is pretty fine.
- I know.
- Yeah.
- I'll call you later. Okay?
- Yeah.
- Thanks.
- -Bye.
- -Bye.
Joey: Look, you can hide out here for as long as you want, but until you deal with reality, you are never gonna get your life back on track.
Melinda: Just because I'm not you does not mean that my life isn't on track.
- You look dashing, Mr. Sheridan.
Jack: Why, thank you.
- That's very kind of you to say.
- -I'm ready to go if you're ready to go.
- -Yeah.
- You might wanna grab a sweater.
- Yeah, I have one.
- -♪ All right… ♪
- -[door opens]
- We got the vodka, but waiting on the scotch and bourbon.

Hope: I don't like not knowing things.
Doc: I wanted to surprise you.
Hope: Well, don't do that anymore.
- Pull.
- Pull!
Muriel: Yes!
- Are you sure you're not a character from Outlander?
- Oh, very funny.
- I'm afraid I'm a bit early.
- Good morning, Virginia.
- That's okay.
- You can have a seat. I'll be right there.
- Uh, well, I'm gonna go grab her file.
- You could rent out the upstairs room as a source of additional income.
- I hadn't thought of that. Do you think
- I'd make enough to cover the difference?
- I might have someone who'll pay top dollar, but just let me confirm before I give out their information.
- Okay, keep me posted.
- -Sure will. Bye-bye.
- -Yup.
- All right.
- Where do you wanna meet?
- Curly's.
- Once I've done my shift,
- I'll text you the address.
- Cool.
- I'll see you later.
- I should've bought a large.
- No, that hit the spot.
- You sure I can't pay for it?
- -It's just a soda.
- -Yeah.
- Besides, I'm grateful for your help.
- I'll do anything for Paige.
- Me too.
- because of a misguided perception of the woman you love.
- You know, I don't ever recall you stringing that many words together.
- Ever. [chuckles]
- I do say my piece…
- …when it's absolutely necessary.
- Doc's gonna look into that.
- You know, it's a good thing you're still in town.
- Doc's not good with small humans.
- Hell, sometimes he's not so good with big humans either.
- I heard that.
- I'm not finished with you, old man.
- Yeah, you didn't have to.
- So?
- The pretty lady make it home last night?
- She had a ring on.
- Yeah, I wasn't sure you noticed.
- I did.
Jack: Anyway, while we're being honest, I can't take credit for lunch. This is all Hope.
Melinda: Aah! God, she is everywhere, isn't she?
Jack: Yep. You know, she told me about Lilly.
Melinda: She shouldn't have done that.
Jack: Ah, she's... worried.
Melinda: No, Doc should not have told Hope. Hope should not have told you. It's a violation of patient confidentiality.
Jack: Well, she wasn't gossiping. She's just trying to help.
Melinda: No, I know, but it doesn't matter why. She's still crossing a line doing that.
Melinda: According to Doc, I'm an ageist.
Jack: Well, good thing I'm still relatively young and attractive.
Melinda: You know, looks have nothing to do with it. You're the only restaurant in town.
Jack: Oh, yeah, you keep telling yourself that.
Melinda: What I keep telling myself is that I'm crazy for not packing up and going home.
- You just made my point.
- Hmm.
- You are gonna have two children that you love more than anything else in the world.
- And they are gonna love you more than anything.
- You're not gonna want to miss that.
- Thank you.
- You know, when Mark died and when I lost my baby... for a long time, I...
- I didn't care whether I lived or died.
[sighs] I'm sorry.
- I wish I knew how to help you.
Ricky: Jack.
- -You okay?
- -Yeah, yeah. I just, um...
- Just had too much coffee. Here.
- Why don't you clean that up?
- Got work to do.
- It can't have been easy dealing with me and Charmaine.
- You know you're one of the reasons
- I'm still standing?
- What do you mean?
- I wouldn't have lasted more than two days in Virgin River if it wasn't for you.
- So thanks.
- because you don't pretend to be somebody that you're not.
- And out in the dating world, that is pretty hard to find. Trust me.
Jack: Hm.
- Well, let's hope it's enough.
- You're overthinking things.
- You need to get out of your own way.
- My seat's not even cold.
- Mm-hm!
- Is that a new cologne you're wearing?
- -No.
- -Oh, you sure smell good.
- What's the, uh... what's the name of the scent?
- Soap.
Hope: Well, you dragged me over here. What do you want?
Doc: Uh... to invite you to dinner tonight.
Hope: Why not just tell me that over the phone?
Doc: Because I'm old-fashioned. I think matters like this should be attended to in person.
Hope: Are you trying to sweet-talk your way out of paying for the divorce by buying me dinner?
Jack: Trying to keep Hope out of my life is like pushing water uphill.
- Loved?
- Like past tense?
- Lizzie, I know I screwed up, but--
- Hey, babe.
Lizzie: Look, I don't need an apology.
- You live your life, and I'll live mine.
- Well, actually she said that she was gonna be spending two days in the city before the...
- It's the truth.
- Doesn't mean we need a play-by-play.
- This is pretty, huh?
- Mm-hmm.
- What are you gonna do?
- What I always do. Fix it.
- Uh-No. Look.
- This is the last time I'm gonna say this.
- It is best to let Jack handle his own business.
- No, I can't.
- I need to do what's best for Jack.
Hope: Good work last night. The food was perfectly edible.
John: I'll take that as high praise.
Hope: That's your prerogative.
- Okay, but in the military, we learned to always have back up.
- To be prepared for the worst-case scenario.
- Then we move to Plan B.
- What's Plan B?
- Just in case, and as I said, the chances are slim.
- We build you and Paige an alibi.
- We negotiated in good faith, so we considered it sold.
- If I had known who was behind this,
- I would never have even entertained that offer.
- Lilly, look, if this is about more money,
- I'm sure I can get them to sweeten the deal.
- Not everything is about money. Excuse me.
- In Virgin River, we take care of our own.
- You big city types, you're all the same.
- Always thinking you know what's best.
- Well, I'm here to tell you, you don't.
- Let's go, Lilly.
- It's okay.
Hope: This town depends on both of us.
Doc: And who put you in charge?
Hope: The town did when they elected me mayor.
Doc: You ran unopposed.
Hope: The point is, I won.
Doc: You are the only one who thinks I need any help. The only one.
Hope: Bull. Everyone thinks you need help. They're just too scared to tell you. Vernon, we both know you can't be in two places at once.
Hope: Muriel, what do you want?
Muriel: I heard a rumor that you and Doc are finally getting divorced, so I wanted to know if you would mind if I asked Doc out on a date?
- I-Um--
- Yeah. Yeah, I would love to. Of course.
- -Aw. Thank you.
- -Yeah.
- Okay.
- See you later.
- Okay, bye.
- That sounds nice.
- Let's do that.
- You okay?
- Yeah, I'm fine.
- You know how much I love you, right?
- I do, because I love you too.
- -[Mark] Okay. Listen to me.
- -This is your fault.
- And I'm very sorry, okay?
- Mom, one last good push.
- -[Mark] You got this.
- -Ready?
- -[sighs]
- -You got it, Mel.
- -[phone rings]
- -[Chloe coos]
- Thank you.
- This is for that sweet boy of yours.
- Bless his heart, not havin' a daddy.
- You all take care.
- Yeah, she means well.
- Does she?
- All right,
- Mel isn't why we're not together.
- -I don't think that's true.
- -Well... [sighs]
- Char, you deserve more.
- I don't want more.
- I want you.
- I'm sorry.
- Well, you owe Mel and her sister an apology.
- Yeah, I know.
- I'll do right by them.
- Why don't you try talking to Todd?
- Just explain exactly how you feel, and--
- Look, if he's not willing to meet you halfway, then… [exhales]
- …you find someone who will.
- You deserve that.
- Thanks.
Christopher: It's just everyone thinks I'm weird, except for Owen.
John: I don't think you're weird. Connie doesn't think you're weird.
Christopher: That doesn't count. You guys are grown-ups. You have to be nice to me.
John: I'm nice to you because I like you. You're a cool kid. And if the other kids can't see that, well, that is their loss.
- I will take mine medium rare.
- -All right.
- -Now I just need a... vodka martini with a twist.
- Or that.
- What should we toast to?
- Being home.
- -Who's Bea?
- -She's the owner.
- I used to work there when I was in high school.
- You worked at a bar when you were in high school?
- Yeah. I did.
- See what I mean about the bubble?
- Let's go find Jack.
- -Until Lilly gets better.
- -Anyone not directly related to Chloe has got to be vetted, and that could take weeks or months.
[sighs] There's gotta be someone.
- Well, the only people cleared to-to step in are licensed healthcare providers, and-and I don't know the first thing about babies.
- But I know a wonderful healthcare provider.
Connie: Where's Lizzie?
Ricky: Uh, she took a break.
Connie: Oh, child's allergic to work.
- Alrighty, let's take a look.
- Yeah, that's a pretty nasty gash.
- You're gonna need stitches.
- Can't you just use a butterfly bandage?
- Come on. You're tough. You can handle it.
- That doesn't mean
- I'm a fan of cutting needles.
- All right, this is gonna sting a little bit.
- He got dressed and walked out without saying anything.
- Oh. Sweetheart.
[cries] My miscarriage is from that night.
- Honey.
- Oh, I'm so sorry.
- It's raining and I don't wanna drive.
- You could walk there.
- Mel, if you hang up,
- I'm just gonna call you back.
- I told Jack about Mark.
- I wish I hadn't said anything.
- No, it's good that you told him.
- You should go. [sighs]
- I didn't mean to hurt you.
- You didn't. You just wasted my time.
- I'm sorry.
- I hope you find what you're lookin' for.
- I will.
- Solid. Solid answer.
- Would you, uh, like to see the place?
- Very much so.
- Good.
- Mel, you wanna show Dr. Hansen the clinic?
- Sounds good.
- We can start in the exam room.
- -Okay.
- -All right.
- I can't talk about this right now.
- I'm sorry.
[exhaling] Ooh.
- All right, what happens next?
- Well, I have to admit.
- This is gonna be trickier than I thought.
- Please, "tricky" is the understatement of the year.
- Yeah.
Hope: Are you buying the house for you or for someone else?
Jack: Right now, I'm focused on the twins, you know? I want them to... live somewhere comfortable and safe, and if that means they go back and forth between me and Charmaine, or we all live here, I don't know.
Hope: You're open to that? Living with Charmaine?
Jack: Well, best way to spend time with my kids, then I have to be.
Hope: Oh, I thought you didn't feel that way about her.
Jack: Well, I don't, but... you know, dads don't always get a fair shake when it comes to custody. I want to spend as much time with them as possible.
- Uh, yeah. Do you mind if I, um, grab some water really quick?
- -My mouth feels dry.
- -Are you okay?
- I'm fine. I just need a cup of water.
- Okay, grab a glass and meet me upstairs.
- My bed is way more comfortable than the couch.
- Okay. Um...
- We can pick something up on the way.
- I think it's better if I go by myself.
- It's gonna be dark by the time you get back.
- Oh, Jack.
- You don't have to worry about me.
- You sure there's nothing I can do to change your mind?
- I'm sure.
Charmaine: I don't understand you. Why would you wanna live with me if we're not together?
Jack: Well, I never said you and I were gonna live together. I'm buying the house for the twins.
Charmaine: Hey, stranger. Where have you been off to all night?
Jack: Just been mingling.
- Not if we don't tell them.
- The fact that you would even consider starting a relationship with my children by lying to them.
- Oh, and don't think for one second that I would ever give them up for a little extra cash.
- They're not for sale.
Charmaine: Todd decided that we're moving to Eureka without consulting me. I don't know what to do. I love him, but everything always needs to be his way.
Jack: Todd's got a strong personality.
Charmaine: I know you don't like him.
- Huh.
- Wow. Um…
[chuckles] It's not what I thought you were gonna say, and I'd like some time to think about it, if that's okay with you?
- Please, no, take whatever time you need.
- Cool.
Melinda: Okay. Okay.

Brie: Hey, I never do anything I don't wanna do.

Melinda: Jack?
- -Brie's hurt. Meet me at the clinic.
- -I'm on my way.

- Okay, just put your hand around my neck.
- Yeah, come on. I got you.
- -[Brie cries]
- -Okay. It's okay. I got you.
[Doc] Yeah.
- Your friends and your family, they wanna be there for you. Let them.
- I'll try.
- Just remember, your mother loved you with all her heart.
- She would not want you to suffer.
Dan: How much you paying me?
Calvin: A lot more than you were making bussing tables. A whole lot more.
- I am not so sure I can focus.
- -That's all right. No pressure from me.

Connie: No child should have to grow up without a mother. And I'm damned if I'm gonna let that happen to Christopher.

Melinda: Are you sure you're not a character from Outlander?
- In Eureka.
- You hate the city.
- I do, but that was the only store that had Forskolin in stock.
- I appreciate you going to all this trouble, but my mind's made up.
- Okay.
- Can I get you something to eat?
- No, thanks.
- -Are you sure?
- -No, I'm good. Thank you.
Hope: I need the keys to your truck.
Doc: Oh, good morning to you, sunshine.
Hope: I don't have time for formalities.
- it-it's over.
- We haven't been together in decades.
- We just don't live together, but I--
- I've always been there for you, always.
- Don't put this on me.
- You're the one who broke us.
- It's just time to finish what you started.
- A midwife. If only we had one here.
- -[sighs]
- -Like it or not, this is no longer a solo mission.
- You need help.
- And you need to ask Mel for it.
- She doesn't respect my authority.
- She thinks for herself.
- That used to be a quality you admired.
Lizzie: Parker, we're not getting back together.
Parker: Why not?
Lizzie: Because I don't trust you.
- Of course, but you'd wanna know if there was a personality issue before bringing someone in.
- And in my experience, when employees are blindsided, it can cause quite a headache for management.
- Well, this management is going to stay the course.
- -You have a nice day.
- -You too.
Lilly: What is it you want me to do?
Melinda: If you're gonna give up your daughter, just spend a little time with her.
Lilly: You're trying to trick me.
Melinda: No. Honestly, I'm not trying to trick you. It's just that this is gonna be your last opportunity to say goodbye.
Charmaine: Jack?
- -[exhales]
- -Jack?
- Yeah, I'll be right out. [clears throat]
- Can you just stop meddling in other people's business?
- She's wrong for Jack.
- That is not for you to say.
- Says who?
- -Well, I'm guessin' Charmaine and Jack.
- -[scoffs]
[mimics Hope] Ughh!
- Hi, do you remember me? I'm Stella.
- I used to be Don's assistant.
- Oh yeah. Hey.
Stella: My parents live in Clear River.
- -What are you doing here?
- -Um, visiting. [clears throat]
- I swear this is like fate, 'cause I wanted to tell you that you were right about--
- I'm sorry. I gotta go.
- but did we not come here to improvise, adapt, and...
[all] Overcome!
- So suck it up, suit up, and let's go, boys!
- Oorah!
[men] Oorah
Jack: Kick your asses up and down that river!
- What happened?
- We had fried chicken for dinner.
[man] Yeah! Yeah, you did, huh?
- I remember going back there... after he died, talking to his parents...
- One of the hardest things
- I've ever done in my life.
Charmaine: I made you a chicken and biscuit casserole.
Hope: Drop cream biscuits?
Charmaine: Is there any other kind?
Melinda: Is it just me, or are people staring at me?
Jack: Well, can you blame them? Look at that dress. You're a knockout.
Melinda: Can we try to be friends?
Jack: I'll do my best.
Melinda: Okay. Thank you.
Jack: Being that I'm just a friend, I should maybe put my pants on.
- Yeah, I had... I had the same thing.
- I thought moving someplace new would help.
- Did it?
- Not as much as I hoped.
- Yeah.
- -Thanks.
- -Yeah.
Hope: Absolutely not !
Melinda: Well you have a spare room and your house is right down the street from the clinic... it just makes sense!
Hope: Makes sense? For whom ? In case you've forgotten, Charmaine and I have a healthy dislike for one another.
Melinda: I'm not asking you to throw her a party. I'm asking you to open your home to a pregnant woman who needs a place to heal.
Hope: I've lived alone for 20 years. I keep odd hours and occasionally vacuum in the nude !
Melinda: No you dont !
Hope: You're right. Half nude ! Think of me as Melannie Griffith in Working girl.
Melinda: I'd rather not !
Hope: Fine!
- No, this thing's broken.
- And I'm gonna have three, so that's seven.
- -Okay, you're seriously stressing me out.
- -I know. It's so cute! [giggles]
- Oh, yeah, now it's time for payback.
- There's a condom in the drawer.
- -For real?
- -Yeah, and I'm on the pill.
- Good call.
- So… am I free to go?
- Yeah.
- Just don't leave town, and stay away from Jack.
- How are you feeling?
- Happy and safe.
- Exactly how I want you to feel.
Melinda: How are you guys doing?
Jack: Blood brothers sometimes spill a little blood.
- -Hey.
- -Hm?
- I'm glad you told me.
- -We should probably get some sleep.
- -Yeah.
- I love you.
- I love you too.
[inhales slowly] All right.
Melinda: You're welcome.
- Well, your wrist has healed up nicely, but I still don't like your cholesterol numbers.
- Well, I don't care for them much myself.
- Okay.
- Well, take your medication, okay, Bert?
- I'll see you in two weeks.
- Good, good, good. It's working.
Melinda: Here you go, buddy.
Melinda: Very good.
[quietly] All right.
Melinda: You're gonna be okay.
[mouths] He's okay.
Jack: And what about you? You never get stressed?
John: No, I meet with a group of vets over in Grace Valley from time to time. It helps on the days I need support.
Jack: Well, I'm not so sure sitting around talking about my feelings with a bunch of dudes is gonna help anything.
John: Well, you'd be surprised.
John: You know, sometimes when you feel alone, you find someone else who feels the same way and, well, you end up being best friends.
Christopher: Did that ever happen to you?
John: Yeah, I met Jack, when I joined the Marines.
Christopher: But Marines are tough.
John: Well, you can be tough and feel alone.
- I told you I'll always be there to support you and the babies.
- Yeah. You're so loving.
- The twins are so lucky to have you as a dad.
- Hmm.
- What are you doing?
- Uh...
- Hey, I was, uh, I just gonna--
- Connie saw us together at the bar and freaked out on me again.
- Are you going somewhere, dear?
- Actually,
- I was hoping
- I could stay with you guys for a while.
- Oh.
Doc: These patients, they are like my family. And I cannot trust you with them unless I know for sure you're not gonna hurt someone.
Melinda: So, if I can't do what I was hired to do, what is it that you want me to do?
Doc: Well, straighten up the office. File things. Keep the coffee pot full. I like mine black and fresh.
Doc: You are honestly not gonna tell me what is in that letter?
Hope: I don't wanna get you involved.
Doc: Well, it's a little late for that.
- Thanks, I appreciate that.
- But can I give you a piece of advice?
- What is it?
- I think if you focus on protecting your heart... you can avoid a lot of pain.
- But you can also end up living half a life.
Melinda: Look, I know Bill loves you.
Joey: Sometimes love isn't enough.
- I've done all I can do.
- Well, let's just wait until tomorrow morning,
- -see how he's doing.
- -That's not part of the deal.
- Okay, no, she came to fix him, and that's what she's gonna do.
- And then if anything happens, it's on you two.
- There's a decent chance he's not gonna make it through the night.
- Come on, come on. Are you... You sure?
- Couldn't be more positive.
- Would you mind if I went without you?
- Knock yourself out.
- Muriel is going.
- That's a perfect second date.
Jack: [to Melinda] You are relentless when it comes to helping people.
- What'd that woman ever do to you?
- Move here.
- Ah.
- Gin.
- Oh-Oh.
- Oh.
- Can I ask you something?
- Which one of us are you lying to?
- I…
- That's what I thought.
- Just go.
- Leave.
- Actually, I'm meeting with a headhunter in just a couple of minutes.
- Smart.
- So just, uh, let me know how you wanna proceed.
- Yeah, will do, will do.
- And, uh, thank you, Alex.
- Mel, I was there with you.
- Start to finish.
- I helped you pick up the pieces.
- Don't you remember?
- Yeah. Yeah.
- How could I possibly forget when you're constantly reminding me how broken I am?
- No, that is not what I'm saying.
- -Yeah, it is. You just don't realize it.

- You know, in my day, the only plan was to pack a suitcase and drive to the nearest hospital.
- I know about you and Michelle.
- So give her a message for me, will you?
- Tell her I'm coming for her.
- And one way or another, she's gonna pay for whatever she did to my brother.

- By the way... don't even think about doing something stupid because the next time I find you...
- I'm not gonna be so nice.
Jack: What's this?
Hope: It's from Charmaine. She asked me to give it to you.
Jack: Well, why would she write me a letter?
Hope: I think she's afraid if she talks to you in person she'll end up wanting you back.
Jack: Come on. She's the one that broke up with me.
Hope: She knows you aren't in love with her.
Jack: Well, I can't make myself feel something I don't.
Hope: Exactly. And you shouldn't. Which is something I want you to remember when you read her letter.
- Come on, man. That's not the Jack I know.
- Well, it's how I feel.
- When we were serving, remember what you'd say?
- The only way to fail is to quit.
- Yeah.
- I just don't feel like that guy anymore.
Melinda: The thing is, I've spent so much time feeling sad. I'm finally starting to feel like myself again and I just don't want any setbacks.
Doc: That's an admirable goal. Just don't be too hard on yourself.
Jack: Jesus, you're one of the most forgiving people I know. But not when it comes to Brady.
John: Well, he may have you fooled, but not me. Hell, he thinks any straight job is beneath him.
Jack: Well, he's here. He's trying.
John: You really think he's changed?
- I'm gonna go out for drinks with Brie after work.
- Oh. Well, good.

John: So? The pretty lady make it home last night?
Jack: She had a ring on.
John: Yeah, I wasn't sure you noticed.
Jack: I did.
Melinda: I'm at Hope's house, having dinner with Jack and his girlfriend.
Joey: The guy from the bar? You didn't mention anything about him having a girlfriend.
Melinda: Oh, I didn't know.
Joey: Hm. Secret girlfriend, huh?
Melinda: I mean, I'm having dinner with her. She's not so secret.
- I'm not gonna be long.
- You stay here, I'll bring back breakfast.
- -Breakfast in bed?
- -Mm-hmm.
- Anything you want.
[chuckles softly] Where do I sign?
- -Don't move.
- -[chuckles]
- Take her somewhere where she can relax a little.
- Yeah. Half an hour couldn't hurt.
- Okay. Um...
- I have my cell phone on me.
- I'm sure you do.
- Now, stop worrying and get.
- Go.
Jack: So, where's Chloe?
Melinda: Uh, Paige volunteered to watch her.
Jack: She eating any better?
Melinda: No. She hates the bottle, and she's barely eating enough to keep up her weight, which means she's hungry and cranky.
Jack: Well, how are you holdin' up? I mean, between Chloe and work, you must be exhausted.
Melinda: Yeah. Well, no work today, 'cause I got fired yesterday.
- Stop it. Stop trying to guilt me into taking your side.
- -[Jack] I'm not--
- -[Charmaine sighs]
- I'm not trying to guilt you.
- We're talking about our children's future.
- I have to go.
- Oh. Thanks.
Charmaine: I gotta say none of this surprises me. Jack off on some vendetta against Calvin, not once stopping to think about if something happened to him what that might mean for me and the babies.
Melinda: Well, I think that Jack feels like shutting down Calvin is his way of protecting all of you.
Melinda: Look, if the situation were reversed, Jack wouldn't hesitate to help you. Even after everything that you've done. Even after the way you've treated him. Jack would protect you no matter what, and he's proven that over and over. Now he needs your help.
John: Well, it's obvious that you care about each other.
Hope: We fight like cats and dogs.
John: Or like an old married couple.
Hope: We tried that once. It didn't work out.
John: Well, you know, some things need time to marinate before they're ready to grill.
Hope: You got any other food-related metaphors up your sleeve?
- No, thanks.
- If you're thinking of hiring someone else, don't you think I should be in the loop?
- I'm not adding anyone to the staff.
- Okay, what does that mean?
- Look, I don't have the energy to get into it right now…
[sighs] …but it's not your position that I'm looking to fill.
- I'll just wait here, then.
- Might be a while.
- I don't mind.
- Can I have a white Zinfandel?
- You can, but why would you want to?
- Because it's delicious.
- -You're busy.
- -No, no, it's okay.
- Uh, why don't you two grab a seat?
- Hm? Get something warm to drink.
- How about some hot cocoa?
- -Extra marshmallows?
- -As many as you can handle.
- -Thank you, Preacher.
- -Okay.
- I'm so sorry. I don't know your name.
- I'm Melinda Monroe. People call me Mel.
- I'm Vernon.
- People call me Doc Mullins.
- And for the record, missy,
- I'm 72.
Jack: What do you want from me?
- -[grunting]
- -[distorted speech]
[Jack muffled] What are you doing here?
- Muriel's Wedding. The Wedding Singer.
- Father of the Bride.
- Bridesmaids.
- Oh, and my personal favorite...
- The Proposal.
- I think you should probably look in there.
- I, uh, I thought you'd be...
- Look, I'll pay for it. I...
- All right. Go home.
- -Please just let me explain.
- -No, just go home, Ricky.
- And leave the car.
- You're not driving.
- She said something about me getting spooked when a relationship turns serious or something, and I…
- I honestly don't know where she's coming from.
- Uh,
- I think I might.

Jack: Well, here's the problem: I'm not in love with her.
- and then he's gonna drive to Port Royal to find Hope.
- He's gonna enter into a flood zone by himself?
- I offered to go with him, but he refused.

Jack: Well, you wouldn't return my calls, so...
Charmaine: It's funny. All I have to do is ignore you for a little while and then here you are, chasing after me for a change.
- -What are you doing?
- -[sighs]
- I didn't think you should be alone for the first few nights.
- So, you slept out here all night?
- Well, I didn't feel like coming inside.
- You're the only person I can ask.
- Jack, you... you keep saying that you're here for me, but this is what I need.
- Look, I'll think about it.
- Okay?
- Okay.
- Sweetheart, our lives are hard enough as it is, and I can't handle... worrying about someone who isn't you.

- I just find it really odd that you chose to have your birthday in Virgin River.
- I chose to spend my birthday with you.
- Okay?
- Here you go.
- Morning.
- Good morning.
Dr. Vernon Mullins: Hope told you to keep an eye on me?
Melinda: No, sh... Okay, fine. Yes, but I swore I wouldn't tell you. Please, don't rat me out.
Dr. Vernon Mullins: That woman is unbelievable. She's on the other side of the country and still trying to run my life.
Melinda: She loves you.
Dr. Vernon Mullins: Or she thinks I'm just not capable of living without her.
Melinda: Well, knowing Hope, it's probably both.
Melinda: Do you accept my apology?
Jack: Yes.
Melinda: So are we back to being friends?
Jack: No.
- Well, how come?
- Well, there's 250 bacteria, parasites, and viruses that can cause foodborne illness.
[groans] I knew I should have ordered the mashed potatoes.
Doc: Drink lots of fluids and rest.
- Uh, Bert, you can head on in, and Doc will be in to see you in a minute.
Jack: So are we gonna have a real campout?
Melinda: What is a real campout?
Jack: Sleeping under the stars.
[whispers] Okay.
- It's okay.
- Wow, would you look at that?
- Incredible. [chuckles]
- Mmm... Like I said... never say never.
- Hey, Preach. Uh, listen.
- I've got an errand
- I gotta run this afternoon.
- I need you to cover, okay? Call me back.
- Competitive salaries, perks…
- What kind of perks are we talking about?
- Signing bonuses and country club memberships.
[laughs] That's ridiculous.
- It's the market.
- Well, I believe this place just sells itself.
- It's a relay race where you have an egg and a spoon and...
- I've just always wanted to do it, and I've never had a partner, so...
- All right.
- Okay. Great. I'll, uh, meet you by the stage.
- I want a stuffed pony.
- Hm.
- Yes, anything that we talk about is completely confidential.
- Good, because if my aunt knew why I was here, her head would burst into flames.
- Well, hopefully, that's an exaggeration.
- It's not.
- Yeah. Fair enough. Come on in.
Melinda: You're being very cute right now.
Jack: Really? I thought I was cute all the time.
- Wow.
- I-I had no idea.
- Well, you know, the deal's not done yet, but... it will be.
- Listen, I gotta get a pipe wrench from the truck. I'll be right back.
- Okay.
- -It's okay.
- -[sobs]
- I'm sorry.
- It's okay.
- I'm sorry.
- It's okay.
- It's okay. Thank you. Thank you.
- Yeah, no, take your time.
- We're not in a rush.
Melinda: Oh, hey, um, you left some clothes in the hamper, so I washed them.
- -Oh, you didn't have to do that.
- -[Mel] It's okay.
Melinda: I left them in a bag by the door.
- Hm, thanks.
John: Do you understand that I am responsible for you? And if anything was ever to happen to you, I'd never forgive myself.
Christopher: Why not?
John: Because I promised to take care of you. I can't do that unless you help me.
- -Joshua Benson?
- -You heard of him?
- No, no, I never heard of him.
- You sure that's who the vehicle's registered to?
- That's what's comin' up on the report.
- Okay.
- Okay, thanks.
Lydie: Ricky, if you're gonna be in an adult relationship, then you have to be able to handle conflict like an adult.
- Mmm.
- All right, how about
- I grill us some steaks at the bar?
- Yeah, that sounds perfect.
- Can I bring anything?
- Just yourself.
- All right.
Doc: I heard from Connie...
Melinda: I know. She's upset because I gave Lizzie a prescription for the pill.
Doc: Oh, upset is putting it mildly.
Jack: I'm just as scared as you are okay? I've never felt this for anybody in my life. I didn't even know I could. And then you walk in and from that first moment I saw you I knew.
Melinda: Stop. Please Jack!
Jack: I cant stop how I feel okay? I'm falling in love with you.
Melinda: Don't say that.
Jack: I know what I'm asking is a lot. I cant change your past. But I want to be part of your future.
Melinda: I just need some time to think about this okay.
Jack: Take all the time you need. I'm not going anywhere.
- Mel?
Melinda: Oh.
- Yeah. [groans]
- What are you doing out here?
- Really? It seemed like you guys knew each other.
- -No.
- -So you've never met him before?
[whispers] Holy hell.
- I think that guy's Granger Smith.
- Who's Granger Smith?
- Huge country music singer.
- -So he's famous?
- -Heck yeah.
- Um, I'll have a gummy worm.
- Open your mouth.
- Are you blushing?
- -No, I'm not.
- -You are! Look in the mirror.
- -No, it's just sunburn.
- -Look out!
- -[car horn honking]
- -[tires screeching]
Connie: Hope, I came over to make amends.
- It's not about me.
- I don't want Jack to come back to me because of his damn sense of honor.
- It-it has to be a choice, his choice.
- And to be honest, that's never gonna happen as long as you're here.
- Well, I...
- and she'd have come home.
- She wouldn't have been on the road when the damn truck crossed--
- -Vernon.
- -[Doc sobs]
Muriel: Come on now.
- You can't think like that.
- I know, but it feels like she's just slipping away, and there's not a goddamn thing I can do.
- I can live with that.
- I need a coffee. [chuckles]
- -Jeez.
- -Yeah.
- Can I get you a cup?
- I would love a latte.
- -Good Lord, even your drink is difficult.
- -[chuckles]
- You were a kid the first time.
- Kids make mistakes.
- Now, you know who you are and what makes you happy.
- That's true.
- Thanks, I appreciate it.
[knocks on desk] Anytime.
- Don't overthink it.
- I'll call you tomorrow.
- Okay.
- Everything's gonna be all right.
- was having that one person invest their time and effort into you, it's all you needed to believe in yourself.
- For Lizzie... that one person's you.
- Thanks for the pies.
- We just need directions to where the camp is.
- Jesus.
- You know, if Calvin finds out that you got this from me, they will kill my brother.
- We're not gonna tell anyone. Right, Mel?
- Absolutely.
- Then stay.
- Just a little while longer.
- Give this a chance.
- If I say yes,
- I feel like I'm going to regret it.
- You won't.
- Promise.
- And that's a promise you actually plan to keep?
- Yeah. I'm gonna try.
- You know, Brady, you gotta... you gotta do a little more than just try.
- I mean it this time.
- Okay, Jack?
Muriel: You see, if you open up to someone else, then it could help you see the problem from a whole new perspective.
Dr. Vernon Mullins: That's never been my way. And this old dog is way past learning new tricks.
Ricky: Lizzie's mad at me.
John: How come?
Ricky: I enlisted in the marines and sorta kept it a secret.
- But they're right in front of us.
- You just have to decide what's important.
- Anyway… [chuckles]
- Hmm.
- Sweet girl.
Melinda: Hmm.
- Yeah.
- Um... I'm gonna get back to it.
- And thank you.
- For what?
- For hearing me out.
- You're welcome.
Muriel: Do you knit?
Lizzie: No. And I don't wanna learn.
Stacie: Mark's barely dead a year, and you're up here in the woods sleeping with some bartender.
- Hold up.
- You're calling me harsh?
- I just said you're being harsh.
- Well, you want to know what harsh is?
- Walking out on someone without an explanation.
- That's harsh.
- Was it your birthday or...
- No, I think Jack just felt guilty.
- You know, he's not around as much, what with his buddies in town and all.
- I'm sure he does feel guilty.
- Yeah.
- Don't forget to drink your juice.
- You're the boss. I'll be gone by 7:30.
- -Seven would be better.
- -[chuckles]
- Gary's famous for his punctuality.
- Yeah?
- You do know we can't hide our relationship forever.
- Just a little longer.
- I gotta go.
- I'll bring food home from the bar.
- We can eat whenever you want.
- -That sounds good.
- -Good.
- -Thanks for the coffee.
- -Yeah.
- Well, tell Lilly I said hi.
- I will.
Hope: Good Lord, you can dig a hole faster than a gopher in springtime.
- Are you suggesting we go halfsies on our divorce?
- I don't see why we wouldn't.
- Divorce wasn't my idea.
- -I don't have that kind of money.
- -Oh, woman, you lie like a rug.
- Fine. I'll pay my share, but you should be ashamed of yourself.
- It was your indiscretion that caused all this, so it should be you who pays the price.
Jack: You know, wherever we end up, I just want you to be happy.
Melinda: I am happy. I wanna be with you. And I want a family.
Jack: What about the twins? You know, if we got married, you'd be their stepmother.
Melinda: I know, and I would love them with all of my heart. But I know myself, and loving them is not gonna stop this feeling that I have to have a baby of my own.
- Telling Jack means you're starting to come to terms with losing Mark.
- You have to take it one step at a time.
- Can I call you back?
- Sure.
- Hey, I love you.
- Ditto.
- -There.
- -Thank you.
- Thank you.
- I get it.
- But I want a husband.
- And I want you to have that.
- Well, the man I eventually marry will be the twins' father, and we'll just have to see where you fit in.
- You can let yourself out.
Bert: Is Jack there?
- What's that? I can't hear you.
- I found Jack's truck but not Jack.
- -We need three more burgers right now.
- -Yeah.
- Man, Jack's not here, okay?
- Hello?
Dan: Who the hell are you?
Jimmy: Your fairy godmother.
Hope: I'll come back before the dinner rush.
Jack: Well, I won't be here.
- -Just the one. Why?
- -[Connie groans]
- Lizzie lost the key. I swear, that girl.
- We're up and running, but I won't be able to close up.
- You know, I think Paige might have a spare key at her house.
- I'll go take a look for it when things slow down a bit here.
- You're a sweetheart.
Melinda: You know, I don't think I'd still be here if it wasn't for you.
Jack: Well, I don't think that's true.
Melinda: I do.
- So, that's settled.
- Jack and Mel will handle the mattress.
- You can help me with the kitchen.
- In the kitchen.
- Don't you need to get back to work?
- No, not right now.
- Okay. Well, just because you're free doesn't mean you have to stay.
- Oh, I'm happy to help.
- You stay out of this.
- Do I need to remind you that we have a--
- Oh, oh, I'm fully aware that we have a contract.
- Okay? I'm also aware that suitable housing was part of the deal, so technically, you're in breach.
- Which means the contract is null and void.
- I can leave whenever I want.
- Yeah, I don't think
- I can keep anything down.
- Well, just try.
- Okay. Thanks for the magazines.
- You're welcome.
- I'm gonna go get you a fresh glass of water and a spoon.
- Okay.
Jack: You don't have to check up on me.
Melinda: I'm just getting some lunch.
Jack: Oh, really? It's not even noon.
Melinda: I know, and I'm already starving. You know that it's a known fact that stress triggers hormones related to appetite. That's why they call it stress eating.
- You know, if I didn't know any better,
- I'd say you were following me.
- -Really?
- -Mm.
- Hmm. Because, actually,
- I think I got here first.
- -Touché.
- -Mm-hmm.
- Thank you.
Jack: Drive safe.
- -[cheering and whooping]
- -[man] Go, Jeb!
[woman] Come on! Come on!
- Hey, table six needs their burrito.
- -You mean Charlie?
- -Yeah.
- That's his burrito.
- Which is getting cold.
- You know, no matter how hard I try...
- ...I just can't believe you're not coming back.
- I mean, everybody keeps saying...
- ..."I know Mark would want you to move on," and I know that that's true.
- But I will never stop loving you.
- Kiss our baby girl for me.
Melinda: You're a good man.
Jack: And you're a good woman.
Melinda: I don't think my sister would agree with you. We didn't have the best phone call.
Jack: Don't beat yourself up. You've been under a lot of stress. Look, I've got four sisters. I know how they can be.
Melinda: Well, she practically raised me, so she's used to bossing me around. She's a force of nature.
Jack: Obviously runs in the family.
Doc: I need a coffee. Can I get you a cup?
Melinda: I would love a latte.
Doc: Good Lord, even your drink is difficult.
- I care about you, and I'm worried that you're putting yourself in danger.
- Can we talk later at lunch, please?
- Okay.
- I'll meet you at the bar at noon.
- Okay.
- and no one will suspect we're back together.
- No. No, absolutely not.
- Come on. Just this one time.
- Yeah, but her transfer is slow as molasses.
- So what? It's just a game.
- Not to me, it isn't.
- It's what I do. What I've always done.
- I pushed Connie away, and-- and the other ladies. And you.
- Now I've done it to Jack and Mel.
- I have somethin' for you.
- What's this?
- This is somethin' you've wanted for a long time.
- I will be right here when they drop you off.
- Pinky promise?
- So, you require ID at pick up, right?
- Only two people are authorized to take Christopher home.
- Oh, yeah. Absolutely.
- We check IDs before signing the kids out.
- Okay.
- Wow.
- Thank you.
- -Quite welcome.
- -[Mel chuckles]
- See? Good things happen when you have a little faith.
[woman] Miss Monroe?
- Dr. Benson's ready to see you.
Melinda: You look very natural with a baby.
Hope: Please. Children are too much work. I decided to raise husbands instead.
Melinda: Oh, yeah. How'd that work out for you?
Hope: [chuckles] One was my soul mate. One was the bane of my existence. And one was the best three months of my life.
Melinda: I'm so sorry.
Jack: For what?
Melinda: For this. I shouldn't have let things get this far.
Jack: Its okay. You weren't ready
Melinda: I wasn't.
Jack: I'll wait.
Melinda: You know once the baby's born, your life is going to change more than you can ever imagine.
Jack: I'm never going to change the way I feel about you
Melinda: You don't know how you're going to feel when you become parents. Raising a baby together can create a bond that's completely unexpected.
Jack: No matter what happens, I'm never going to stop wanting you. I'm in love with you.
- -You didn't have to do that.
- -Yes, I did.
- She's an innocent bystander.
- It was hard enough just to tell her today.
- I mean,
- -you should've seen the look on her face.
- -She's not as doe-eyed as you think.
- She's a good person.
- I feel sick that I was complicit in this charade of yours.
- All of my children were born here.
- Two of my daughters got married here.
- Buck is buried down there.
- The family cemetery down by the pond.
- So much love.
- I just can't imagine Chloe growing up anywhere else.
- When I was your age,
- I got married because I thought there was nothing else to do.
- It was a huge mistake.
- All things considered, there are worse things than being bored.
- If Preacher comes by, give him my card.
- I'll be right back.
Dan: I'm falling in love with you. You're all I think about.
Brie: I'm sure that's not true.
Dan: I wouldn't say it if it wasn't.
Hope: I push people away, Vernon. It's what I do. What I've always done.
- -Don't worry about it. [clears throat]
- -Oh.
- Uh, I just need a ride back to the bar so I can pick up my car.
- Oh.
- Yeah.
- That I can do.
- -Cool.
- -[Brady] Cool.
- He ain't stayin' long.
- -That'll do.
- -Sure thing.
- Keep that glass full, son. That's for you.
- -You bet.
- -[grunts]
- You see the knot that guy's carrying?
- It's dirty money.
[gasps] Oh!
[laughs] Oh, Mark, stop!
- Yeah, I can see why.
- Sometimes I think we take it for granted that we live in such a magnificent place.
- Um, would you hold Chloe for just a bit while I get something to drink?
- Of course.
- -[baby whimpers]
- -I'll be quick.
Melinda: Take your time.
- Damned hard to admit I...
- -I am slowin' down.
- -[scoffs]
- -Don't play the "old" card with me.
- -[chuckles]
- You've been a stubborn old goat since the day we met.
- The only thing slowing down around here is this truck.
- It's time to retire her and get yourself something from this century.
- Now, bring that over here. Let me see.
- -Grandma?
- -Yeah?
- You know that chocolate's not good for your diabetes.
- Oh, well, this isn't for me.
- It's for Lizzie.
- You bring it over to her and make sure she knows how you feel.
- I'm sure however this happened was completely out of your control.
- -Do you want me to try Jack?
- -No.
- No, this is my problem.
- Thanks.
- Yeah.
[sighs] I'm sorry.
Dr. Vernon Mullins: I have worked 30 years alone to build this practice, and up until now, anything that had to do with the work was strictly my business.
Melinda: Okay, so you feel like being on your own was better.
Dr. Vernon Mullins: It was easier. The only person I had to answer to was me.
Melinda: It's not about answering to me. It's just about having respect for a colleague.
Dr. Vernon Mullins: I do respect you, but it doesn't mean that I'm comfortable having you involved in every aspect of my life.
Melinda: I'm not talking about every aspect. I am just talking about the clinic.
Dr. Vernon Mullins: But this is what you gotta understand. The clinic, this clinic, this is my life!
- Mm!
[sighs] You know, I don't think I'd still be here if it wasn't for you.
- Well, I don't think that's true.
- I do.
- Good night.
- Night.
- that I've loved you from the first day that I met you, and I will be yours until the day I die.
- Hope McRae.
- Will you be my wife... again?
- Now, it's...
- ...part of my DNA.
- Yeah, well...
- I don't think that, uh, Virgin River is ever gonna be a part of my DNA.
- Well, never say never.
- I think never is the most likely choice.
Jack: I'm constantly pleasantly surprised by you.
Melinda: I like to keep you on your toes.
- Mel, you're an amazing woman.
- Jack, you're not listening to what I want.
- I am listening.
- That's what I'm trying to say.
- I know what you want.
- I don't know if I can give it to you.
Jack: This is killing me… but I know I'm doing the right thing.
Hope: I think dermatology is a waste of money. There's nothing soap and water can't do.
Muriel: Oh, Hope, no! You have been terribly misinformed. I mean, consistent dermatological care is why no one would ever guess that you and I are close in age.
Melinda: You are gonna have two children that you love more than anything else in the world. And they are gonna love you more than anything. You're not gonna want to miss that.
- -I won't get through this.
- -Yeah. Yes.
- -I won't.
- -You--
- You're strong.
- -I'm not strong anymore.
- -Yes, you are. You're strong.
- Hey.
- -It's my baby.
- -You can do this.
- Since I'm here,
- I think I'll just tidy up your office.
- -You always loved that.
- -Okay, okay. Okay.
- -Thank you.
- -Hm.
- That woman is tenacious with a capital T.
- That's a nice way of putting it.
- I wasn't bein' nice.
- -Neither does living together.
- -Yeah, it's pretty close.
- Hey, uh, can we talk about this later?
- Why? There's nothing else to talk about.
Jeb: Lizzie, can you help me?
- Yeah, I think Jeb needs you.
- Can we catch up later?
- Hey.
- You're already putting your baby's needs ahead of your own.
- -You're gonna be a great mom.
- -[sighs]
- Keep your eyes closed, okay?
- There you go.
- Is it in?
- -It is.
- -[laughs]
Jack: Hope, I forgave you weeks ago.
- -Yeah, okay.
- -Oh, thank you so much.
- Um, I only have about half a dozen, so they shouldn't take up too much space in your fridge.
- I'll make room on a shelf.
- Okay, thanks.
- Hey, who's Michelle?
Doc: I can see if Connie or Lilly can keep the baby tonight.
Melinda: Well, you should know that the baby is still rejecting the bottle.
Doc: In my experience, a baby will eat when they're ready. She'll be okay for one more night.
- I thought you said
- Hope was excited to have me.
- Well, she is, but you know her.
- She just doesn't want to seem needy.
- And what was that about three days?
- Oh, she was just kidding.
- You can stay here until you're back on your feet.
- Why don't I get you a glass of water?
- Okay?
- I can't control how information is spread or how people are gonna feel about it.
- All right,
- I'm asking you to put a stop to it.
- Okay.
- Thank you.
- Well, I'm gonna go to bed.
- It's been a long day.
- -Good night.
- -Good night.
- and remind her over and over again how much her mama loved her?
- -[Lilly] Please?
- -[Jo Ellen] Oh, sweetheart.
[Lilly cries] Oh!
- I just love all of you so much.
Lydie: We love you too.
- Thank you for being my friends.
Joey: Well, you sound stressed. Why don't you come home?
Melinda: There was, um... a complication with the baby, and I'm thinking of becoming her temporary caregiver.
Joey: As in fostering? That's a horrible idea.
Melinda: Wow! Okay, don't beat around the bush.
Joey: No, I am serious. Taking on someone else's baby would be a huge mistake at this point in your life.
Melinda: And what point am I at, exactly?
Joey: You're obviously not thinking rationally.
Melinda: You don't know what I'm thinking.
Joey: You're right, I don't. But I know that a baby is not the answer.
Melinda: I'm the only one that can keep her in Virgin River.
Joey: No, it is not your responsibility, okay? You need to take care of yourself.
Melinda: Joey, you don't understand.
Joey: Mel, I was there with you. Start to finish. I helped you pick up the pieces. Don't you remember?
Melinda: How could I possibly forget when you're constantly reminding me how broken I am?
Joey: No, that is not what I'm saying.
Melinda: Yeah, it is. You just don't realize it.
- Are you having a seizure?
- No, I'm okay. Uh, I just...
- Okay, then can you grab me a beer?
- Yeah, yeah, okay. I'll grab you a beer.
- Uh, hey, Preacher. I need a beer.
- For who?
- but I swear you can trust me, and I will never ever hurt you again.
- I'm sorry.
- Looks like you're stuck with me.
- What does that mean?
- It means yes, you old fool.
- I'll marry you again.
Hope: I felt bad. So I went over to Muriel's to apologize.
Doc: Now don't you feel better?
Hope: No. Apologizing to Muriel is like pouring water on a grease fire. All it does is fuel the flames.
- Second stop sign, you take a right.
- -You can't miss it.
- -Oh! Thank you so much.
- Phew!
- Uncanny.
- That has never happened to me before.
- That is so weird. [chuckles]
- See ya.
- I know.
- I'm sorry, but I had to do something.
- And I thought
- I could get through to Brady.
- Well, I don't ever want you putting yourself in danger because of me.
- Well, I can't promise that.
- Love makes people do crazy things.
- So, do you want me to come over tonight?
- My grandma will be home.
- I know. [chuckles]
- Yeah. Yeah, that'd be awesome.
- We could watch a movie, make some popcorn.
- See you later.
- Jack.
[sighs] I need to talk to you.
- Uh... [sighs]
- Do you think her wanting to see you is connected to Vince?
- Yeah, now I do.
- And the fact that she's calling me instead of Paige, it worries me.
- Why's that?
- Because it tells me something's not right with Paige.
- Thanks.
Melinda: I really had no idea what this job was gonna be like.
Jack: Well, sometimes those turn out to be the best jobs.
Melinda: You think?
Melinda: I am perfectly capable of maintaining confidentiality.
Dr. Vernon Mullins: Well, then we shouldn't have any issues.
Melinda: Oh, don't worry. I'm sure we'll find something to disagree on.
[sighs] God, I hope so.
- Drink lots of fluids, and get plenty of rest, and call me if your cough gets worse.
- -I will.
- -Okay.
- And next year, I'm gonna make sure you come in early for your flu shot.
- -Thank you, Mel.
- -You're welcome.
- Mel?
- Hey.
- Hey.
- No. They think that you're not feeling well, and they're worried about you.
- What is it you want me to do?
- If you're gonna give up your daughter, just... spend a little time with her.
[sighs] You're trying to trick me.
- No. Honestly, I'm not trying to trick you.
- It's just that this is gonna be your last opportunity to say goodbye.
- You're not in charge of who I hang out with.
- While you're under my roof, you'll live by my rules.
- -Then I'll move.
- -How are you planning to support yourself?
- I really care about Lizzie, and I would never take advantage of her.
- I just wanna spend time with her.
- Well, then you should have kept your pants on. We're leaving.
- And I know,
- I know I got no business asking you this, but… [sighs]
- …please, give me another chance to show you who I really am.
- Why should I?
- Because I've never said this to anyone.
- I'm in love with you.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
- -Okay.
- -Okay.
- I guess I better go relieve Connie.
- Okay.
- -[ball bouncing]
- -[Christopher laughing]
Brie: Sorry, but I just don't believe people can change who they are.
Dan: Well, that's a crappy way to view the world.
- Look, just fix me up, then you can leave.
- I don't have any supplies.
- I don't have any equipment. I can't.
- -Take them to the provisions shack.
- -Yep. Let's go.
- -Follow me.
- -[groans]
- Okay.
- -[moans]
- -You need to push pressure on this.
- hospital meatloaf.
- -Ah, promise me.
- -Yes, I promise.
- So, then what are you gonna do with your days when you retire?
- Um...
- Sail around the world, making love to you in every port.
- It's okay.
- Take care of Maxine and my son.
- It's okay. Go.
- Jack?
- I'll be seeing you two.
- Come on.
Dr. Vernon Mullins: The pain of losing someone you love is overwhelming. The challenge is to keep that pain from crushing you.
Tara: That's how I feel.
- I made you some tea and a sandwich.
- I'll leave it out here.
Hope: Come in. It's open.
- -Where'd everybody go?
- -[sighs]
- I called Hope from the hospital.
- I just told her to close up and send everybody home.
- I've completely lost track of time and space.
- Well... [sighs]
- I think this will help.
- Is that your attempt at a compliment?
- Okay, I'm sorry.
- How about, um, proficient?
- -Proficient?
- -Or capable.
- And you have excellent abs.
- Remind me never to use you as a reference.
- We'll be two star-crossed lovers carrying on a secret love affair.
- It'll be so hot.
- You know that Romeo and Juliet die in the end, right?
- God! Do you have to overthink everything?
- You're right.
- No more thinking.
Jack: I wanna know what's going on in that beautiful head of yours.
Melinda: Yeah, well, right now, it's mostly filled with regret.
- -[sighs]
- -Okay.
- Um, I just don't have my car.
- I'm happy to drive.
- Why don't I grab us some coats?
- Okay.
- You're gonna be fine.
- -Jack.
- -Hey.
- Please come.
- -I need you. [whimpers]
- -Hm? You okay?
- -[groans quietly]
- -Brie?
- -What's goin' on?
- -[cries]
- -[sobs]
- -Brie!
- If I'd given you a little notice, then my visit would not have been a surprise.
- Hey, hey, hey, leave that.
- We'll get that over to the Fitches' for you.
- -Thanks.
- -I'll take care of it.
- -Thank you.
- -Yeah. Any time.
- -See you later.
- -Yeah.
- You think something was done deliberately?
- Knowing how meticulous
- Preacher is with his food, it's possible.
- Nah, we're a small town, and that kind of thing doesn't happen in places like Virgin River.
- The restaurant industry is dog-eat-dog, no matter where you are.
- So... you always have to be looking out for yourself.
- Preacher.
- Uh... Paul.
- You got a last name there, Paul?
- Um... You know...
- I think I'm just gonna settle up, and, uh... keep the change.
- It's okay. It is what it is.
- No, it's not.
- I just hate the idea of you hurting.
- I wish there was something I could do.
- You've already done so much for me.
- You don't even know.
- when you don't let your ego and stubbornness get in the way.
- Well, that's high praise indeed.
- However... as a husband, Vernon, you could have done better.
- What does that mean?
- I would never forgive myself.
- And this has nothing to do with us, okay?
- Whatever that ends up being.
- Okay, I'll think about it.
- -Thank you.
- -Yeah.
- It means a lot to me.
- Okay.
- -[Brady chuckles]
- -[Brie scoffs]
- -["Human" playing]
- -[Brie] Mm!
- I love this song.
- -Let's dance.
- -I'm not a big dancer.
Brie: Come on. Just one song.
- -[Brie] Yes!
- -Please, God, no!
- Look, I know.
- But for all you know, she could be perfectly safe, and you are going there risking your life.
- I'd rather take the risk than have to live with regret.
- Yeah.
- Yes, I was there, but I did not shoot you.
- -You--
- -Jack! Jack!
- Jack.
- Get the hell off my property.
- -Brie.
- -No, I think you better go.
- Get off my property!
- I told her that I didn't want a relationship, that I wasn't lookin' for anything permanent.
- And she understood.
- She said she didn't want that either.
- I'm not the bad guy here.
- I didn't say you were.
- Kind of sounds like you are.
- how I wanna live what's left of it.
- Well, these papers are 20 years old.
- The time has come to put our affairs in order.
- Are you serious about this?
- Serious as a heart attack.
- One transgression 20 years ago.
Melinda: When are you gonna stop, Jack?
Jack: Stop what?
Melinda: Going to war.
Jack: I'll stop when it's over.
Melinda: I care about you, and I'm worried that you're putting yourself in danger.
- Ah-Mm!
- -[both laugh]
- -♪ While you fall in mine ♪
- Oh, we are gonna get in trouble.
- -Are you hankering for a new partner?
- -[chuckles]
- No.
- No, I'm not.
Jack: Man, I feel like the deck is stacked against me, you know? I keep trying to do the right thing, and everywhere I turn, a roadblock.
Mike: Come on, man. That's not the Jack I know.
Melinda: You'll see. They'll all get along.
Doc: Oh, I know you don't believe that.
- Fine.
- And you're late.
- Yeah. Uh...
- I know. I'm... sorry about that.
- That happens again, we'll have a problem.
- Understand?
- Yes, sir.
Dan: I came to make things right between us.
Jack: You made your choice that night.
Dan: Well, I got another job offer, but I'm willing to turn it down if I can manage the bar.
Jack: Well, Brady, in what world would I make you a manager?
- It's okay.
- We can just go back to the bar, if you want.
- No, no, no, no. I wanna go.
- You sure?
- Yeah.
- All righty, then.
- Nope.
Melinda: You're doing a lot better.
- Just try to let go, okay?
- Okay. Just breathe in.
Melinda: Breathe out.
- Okay.
- This is the last pressure point.
- That's how I felt about you when you left for L.A.
- And the worst part was when you were gone,
- I realized I don't want to live my life without you.
- Jack.
- Mel, it's okay.
- You don't owe me anything.
Melinda: Ricky said I'd find you out here.
Jack: Well, he's a great kid, but not so good at keeping a secret.
Jack: I heard you're retiring.
Dr. Vernon Mullins: Yeah? Where'd you hear that?
Jack: Mel.
Dr. Vernon Mullins: Ah. I see. Well, for your information, that piece of news? That was given to her in confidence.
Jack: Don't blame Mel. She was hurt, and she wanted some advice.
Dr. Vernon Mullins: I don't care. My business is a private matter.
Charmaine: Now I have this really big decision to make, and I can't tell anyone, and it's killing me.
Hope: I'm sure you'll live through it.
Jack: Look, I've been making excuses for you and bailing you out since Iraq. Now, as long as I keep fixing everything, you never will. You need to grow up and get your life together.
Dan: What happened to blood brothers huh?
- Uh...
- Hey. Uh, so, should I just pull up a chart and grab a patient?
- -No.
- -No?
- No. Until I can confirm that you are competent, no patients.
- Well, how can you confirm my competency if I can't see any patients?
- Chitchat is over.
- I've got a waitin' room full of people.
Melinda: So, what are you gonna do with your days when you retire?
Mark: Sail around the world, making love to you in every port.
- You told us.
Melinda: Hey, Doc?
- -Did you say something?
- -Yeah.
- I'm sorry,
- I just realized what time it is.
- I have to-I have to get back.
- I don't have time to get coffee.
- -Oh. Of course. Of course.
- -Sorry.
- I should get going.
- Let you get some sleep.
Melinda: Okay.
- Thank you.
- You're welcome.
- -[sighs]
- -[door closes]
- but the baby's welfare is more important than your ego.
- Oh.
- Well, you know,
- I know this is just a formality since you've already given notice to Hope, but... you... are fired.
- -[sighs]
- -Fired.
- What happened here?
- Iraq.
- Might seem unusual for a logging company.
- -See, I don't get the--
- -Discussion's over.
- Wait.
- How much you paying me?
- A lot more than you were making bussing tables.
- A whole lot more.
- I screwed up.
- I made a huge mistake, but I'm begging you.
- Please give me another chance.
- -[quietly] I--
- -If you do, I promise,
- I'm never gonna walk away from you again.
- I promise you.
Lizzie: There's a condom in the drawer.
Ricky: For real?
Lizzie: Yeah, and I'm on the pill.
Lydie: Are you going somewhere, dear?
Lizzie: Actually, I was hoping I could stay with you guys for a while.
- This is exactly why we didn't invite you.
- I guess I'll save you the trouble of asking me to leave.
- Ladies... enjoy your afternoon.
- Hope...
- We--
Brie: Hey, I was thinking, when Mel gets back from LA, how about I make us all dinner? Come on. My cooking's not that bad.
Jack: I, uh, ended things with Mel.
Brie: Why? What happened?
Jack: She wants a baby, and I don't feel I can support two families right now.
Hope: Charmaine's little beast destroyed my favorite boots! And peed on my dining room rug, which I discovered in my bare feet.
Doc: Well, they say dogs are excellent judges of character.
Hope: I'm not amused. I want my house back!
Doc: Well, just keep your socks on, sweetie.
- Should we get going?
- In a minute.
- -It might have, but we'll never know.
- -Uh--
- What-what? What does it say?
- Hope. What?
- -Let's go.
- -What is it?
- -Let's just go.
- -What is it?
- We're going.
- Mm-hmm. You got any ID?
- Do you?
- I've been drinking since I was 13, so I don't care.
- But people around here probably do.
- Then I'll get my own beer.
Dr. Vernon Mullins: You are the one who is sick. You don't owe Hope or anybody else a medical report. You cannot sap your energy worrying about what other people think.
Lilly: She's not "other people." She's my best friend.
Dr. Vernon Mullins: That's exactly why she'll understand. She loves you. She wants the best for you.
- I should have left him a long time ago.
[sighs] I have a-a client.
- Could you just please respect my wishes and just give Jack the letter?
- -[sighs]
- -Please.
- For the record,
- I think you're making a mistake.
- Well. It's a good thing it's not your decision to make.
- Yeah.
- Probably a good idea.
- Yeah.
- All right.
- Well, I'm around if you need anything.
- Okay, thanks.
- And if there's anything I can do...
- I know where to find you.
Doc: You're gonna have to make some changes, now, before it's too late.
Hope: Vernon, I have always lived my life on my own terms. Nothing you say is going to change that.
Doc: Look, nobody said it was gonna be easy. You just gotta take better care of yourself.
Hope: Where's all this newfound concern coming from?
Doc: It is not new. It's concern. Yes, I am concerned. As I would be for any patient.
Hope: I'm not your patient.
Doc: No, but I am a doctor, uh, with a lifetime of experience.
Hope: And you're a brilliant one when you don't let your ego and stubbornness get in the way.
- -Uh...
- -[Connie huffs]
- What on Earth do you think you're doing, mister?
- Duh... um...
- Good?
- You all right?
- Hey, I appreciate it.
- Mel, stop trying to punish yourself for what happened.
- Nobody blames you.
- Just come home.
- Honey, all you changed by moving was your address.
- I'm sorry, Joe.
- I'm gonna call you tomorrow, okay?
- -I love you.
- -No.
- Jack.
- Morgan.
- -♪ I know that it's been rough ♪
- -You left me behind.
[whispers] I'm sorry.
- -♪ You've fallen out of touch ♪
- -I'm sorry.
- -♪ I know it's not enough ♪
- -I'm sorry.
- -♪ You stole in featherweight ♪
- -Baby?
DJ: Mingle.
- -You okay?
- -♪ I need the truth ♪
- -Okay, you win.
- -Okay.
- Didn't know it was a competition.
- What can I say?
- I got a competitive streak.
- Oh.
- Okay, so where... where is it?
- Lower left.
Melinda: So, you're not a big fan of Charmaine, I take it.
Hope: Huh! Is it that obvious?
Melinda: I mean, I don't see why. She seems perfectly sweet.
Hope: Sweet isn't good enough for Jack.
Melinda: Hope, Jack's a big boy. I'm sure he knows what he's doing.
Mark: Are you gonna leave me?
Melinda: We don't want the same things anymore, Mark.
Mark: All I've ever wanted is you.
- -Just tell me you'll think about it.
- -Yeah. I'll--
- I'll think about going to your group or whatever, but, look, as far as the bar is concerned, man, if I make you a partner, it could complicate things, and I'd never wanna ruin our friendship over business, you know?
- Look, I gotta go.
- I know what you would say if you were here.
- You would tell me to put away my feelings and put the patient first.
- It's what made you such a great doctor.
- Well, Jack would never do that to you or his kids.
- Well, I'm not rich like you are, so I can't afford to have that kind of faith.
- I'm not rich.
[laughs] Right.
- You drive a BMW and you married a doctor.
- Oh, I'm so sorry.
- -What time is it?
- -Hm. After five.
- -[Brady sighs]
- -Oh, I should go.
- Mel's meeting me at Jack's.
- Yeah. I'll, uh… [kisses]
- I can give you a ride.
- Just give me a minute, huh?
- I'm surprised you didn't know that.
- She loves to wax poetic about her former acting career.
- Thanks. I'll call her.
- Oh, um, by the way, you're still welcome to come over and hang out.
- And if I wanna do the laundry?
- We could work something out.
- Mom, Dad's here!
- Hello, Michelle.
Melinda: You've been through a lot.
Jack: So have you.
Melinda: Yeah, and you let me cry, and yell... and then cry some more.
- I'm fine.
- You know, Jack, if you ever wanna talk about it,
- I'm here.
- Yeah.
- Thank you. I'm, uh...
- I'd rather focus on what's in front of me.
- Well...
- Still... he didn't tell the truth until I called him on it.
- How am I supposed to trust him?
- He's their father.
- When the twins are born, you're gonna want his support.
Christopher: I have to tell you something. You should ask my mom to dance.
John: I should? Well, you're a little young to be a matchmaker, aren't you?
- Just tell him that she loves him, and she'll be back as soon as she can.
- Yeah.
- What if she doesn't make it back?
- Oh. You can't think like that.
- You've gotta stay strong for Christopher.
- -Hm?
- -Yeah.
- Last one before you become a mom.
- Oh, that's right.
- Why don't I light it? You can make a wish.
- Oh, no, you don't need to do that.
- -Why not?
- -Because I don't need to make a wish.
- I have everything I ever wanted.
- and it's making me just... dizzy trying to follow you.
- -Vernon.
- -Don't "Vernon" me.
- You're nuttier than a fruitcake.
- And you know what? I'm a doctor.
- That is an actual diagnosis.
- Lock the door on your way out.
- Uh, you're all paid up.
- That's for you.
- Listen, uh... you wanna make some real money... hit me up.
- I could always use another good man.
Hope: I like to garden, watch my shows, and be left alone.
Lizzie: That's because your life's pretty much over. You're just waiting for it to end.
- What stuff are we doing in Clear River?
- Nothing.
- I just said that to make things easier.
- So, you lied?
- I don't want to hurt Preacher's feelings.
- And you shouldn't be eavesdropping, anyway.
- How else am I gonna find out stuff?
- Uh, Doc. You're on deck.
- Oh! Yeah.
- -Uh, we can talk later.
- -Thanks.
- I'm sorry to interrupt you.
- It's just if I get behind schedule,
- Jo Ellen will have a conniption.
- Oh, I get it, believe me. [laughs]
[chuckling] Oh, wow!
- Huh.
- You'd have to start by working the line, but I know you'll move up quickly.
- Trust me.
- This is the opportunity of a lifetime.
- Okay, so what's the catch?
- If you want it, you need to commit within 24 hours.
- -No one's talking to you.
- -I'm so sick of--
- -Touch me again, I'll--
- -Stop! Stop!
- Walk away.
- -I'm done.
- -Hey, listen to me.
- You walk away from here right now, you never come back here.
- You understand me?
- -and you don't show up to the meeting?
- -I got busy.
- Preacher tried to bait and switch the salad.
- Lucky I intervened, or you'd all be eating arugula.
- I don't give a rat's ass about the salad.
- You could have had the decency to let me know you couldn't come.
- -Lecturing me about decency. That's rich.
- -Oh, come on. You owe me an apology, Hope.
- -Oh, hey.
- -[Charmaine] Hey.
- What are you doing here?
- Well, I just--
- Hi, Charmaine.
- Did I forget to mention that Mel is here too?
- Uh... I'm gonna go put these down.
- Uh... Look around.
- You're in a heavily wooded area.
- There's no cell reception here.
- Damn it.
- I'll call Bert once we get into town.
- If he's not too busy, maybe you'll get your car back this week.
- Are you comin' or not?
Melinda: There are teams, Jack. Teams!
Jack: For the egg relay?
Melinda: Oh No. For us! There is a team Charmaine and a Team Mel. Yeah, apparently, everybody thinks that we slept together!
Jack: We did sleep together !
Melinda: But you and I are the only ones who know that right?
Melinda: Jack? Oh Jack!
Connie: Lizzie was supposed to fill the order. I know you're not supposed to talk badly about kin, but the girl is more idle than a Sunday afternoon.
John: Sounds like she's a normal teenager.
- This is a big change.
- But it's what's best for you and the kids.
- Oh, listen, Bill's here.
- He's here to pick up the kids. I gotta go.
- Sure. Yeah.
- Just hang in there, okay? I love you.
- I love you too.
- If you go through life closed off, then, you know, you're not really living at all.
- If you need an example, think about Dad.
- I'm not being closed off.
- I told Mel exactly how I felt.
- This is tearing me up, but I'm doing the right thing.
- I don't want you to spend your life regretting your decision.
- -All the way, one hundred percent.
- -You're Team Mel?
- -Yeah.
- -Is there a Team Charmaine?
- -Well, uh...
- -My God.
- Ricky, are you telling me the entire town is talking about this?
- -Probably not the entire town.
- -Oh, my God.
- Uh, oh, I'm getting a call.
- I should probably take that, so...
Hope: Did you try speaking with Lilly again?
Doc: Yeah. And I know I don't have a lot of experience treatin' postpartum, but I gotta tell you, she is in bad, bad shape.
Hope: Well, you know who does have experience? A midwife. If only we had one here. Like it or not, this is no longer a solo mission. You need help. And you need to ask Mel for it.
Doc: She doesn't respect my authority.
Hope: She thinks for herself. That used to be a quality you admired.
- I only wish your mother could have been here.
[emotionally] She'd be overjoyed.
- You didn't have to throw this party.
- The truck was already too much.
- Oh, you earned that car.
- I… I couldn't have asked for a better grandson.
- But the party, that's all Jack's doing.
Spencer: Look, if Calvin finds out that I ratted him out, I'm dead. My family is dead.
Jack: And if you do nothing? Look, guys that work for Calvin don't seem to live too long. And this isn't just about you. I mean, think about Maxine and your son.
- What you want, huh?
- Okay.
- Ooh, gotta do something to take your mind off your tummy, huh?
- -What shall we do?
- -[baby crying]
- You want a little song? Huh?
- Yeah?
- Hey, look at me. It's okay.
- Just try to take deep breaths, okay?
- That's better.
Doc: Yeah, you too.
- But, listen, you call me.
- Call me if you hear anything, right?
- Okay. Thanks, Bert.
Melinda: I was just coming to see how you were doing.
Jack: Yeah. I'm good. Why you asking?
Melinda: Just curious.
Jack: Since we're being curious, where have you been the last few days?
Melinda: Doc gave me a few days off, so I could recover from the whole pot thing.
Jack: How you doin' with that?
Melinda: I'd kind of rather just forget it ever happened.
Lilly: That is a total invasion of privacy, and I'm pretty sure it's illegal.
Hope: Are you kidding? Women have been calling their husbands' voice mail since the day voice mail was invented.
- Mmm.
- You know what we two gals need?
- Fred Astaire.
- Follow me, girlie.
- Come on.
- Can I grab a beer, thanks?
- -♪ Carry your shining eyes ♪
- -Let's mingle!
- And don't be shy, people.
- and you're going to stop pushing me away.
- You hear me?
- Yeah.
- Mel is good at what she does.
- And what she does is take care of pregnant women.
- If Doc trusts her, then so should you.
- I've never stopped loving you.
- You've gotta know that.
- -Oh, Vernon.
- -Yeah.
- There's something else.
- What?
- I love you, too.
- -♪ Down, down ♪
- -♪ Down ♪
- My husband is dead.
- -♪ Down ♪
- -♪ Down ♪
- It was my fault.
- -♪ When you're down ♪
- -♪ Down ♪

- -[door opens]
- -[Jack] Ahem.
- You are such a doll.
- And those dimples, right? Oh.
- I can't stand that woman.
- Really?
- You hide it so well.
Calvin: I thought I told you to get rid of Leo.
- I thought I did.
- I watched him pack his bag, said he was heading south.
- Perhaps Leo needs a stronger message and a map.
- Got it.
Melinda: Umm, this is amazing. What is this?
Jack: Squirrel.
Melinda: Um!
Jack: Hah, that was too easy !
Melinda: Thats not funny!
Jack: You know, I've actually had squirrel. And if its done right, its pretty tasty!
Melinda: Yeah well I'm going to take your word on that.
Hope: I made a horrible mistake.
- -It's--
- -She is visiting her octogenarian aunt.
- -Yes, and that is exactly what I meant.
- -[laughs] Yes.
- Anyway, you should go home.
- -Ricky will understand.
- -No, no, no. I'm fine.
- -You sure?
- -Yeah.
- Well, if you need anything, you just call.
- What? Okay.
- Why are you saddling me with the paperwork?
- Because in an outbreak like this, it's much more efficient for the same person to ask the questions, you.
- And the same person to treat the patients, me.
- Listen,
- I am very, very sorry for making you wait, and I promise
- I will make it up to you.
- Damn you.
- Yes.
Dan: Brie, I know I made a lot of bad choices, but I'm not the villain here. Do you believe me?
Brie: I believe that's what you think, but in my career, I've learned that people are capable of justifying their actions no matter how reprehensible.
Hope: I'm not going to meddle, but for the record, I disagree with you.
Doc: Well, it wouldn't be the first time.
- My family is one of their biggest donors.
- She'll have all the bells and whistles.
- -Nice.
- -[Charmaine sighs]
[chuckles] I just couldn't hold it all the way to Clear River.
- Hey, uh, can I talk to you for a minute?
- Yeah, sure.
- Okay? Yeah.
[sighs] Look, Hope, the bottom line is that this is not what I signed up for.
- Join the club, sweetheart.
- Life rarely gives us what we want.
- Okay...
- I didn't join a club, okay? I took a job.
- I'm sorry, I have to give you notice.
- I'll give you time to find someone, but you need to start looking now.
Hope: Mother of pearl. Do I have to do everything in this town?
- Shall we sit?
- Sure.
- about you wanting to call those people to come take the baby.
- I get it.
- I was adopted.
- Had good foster parents that turned into real parents.
- Thanks, Charlie.
- Yeah.
- I had nothing but faith when I met my husband.
- I... I thought we were gonna, you know, live the rest of our lives together, have this beautiful family.
- I'm sorry, but I can't get hurt again.
- Okay? I'm not that strong.
- Are you too scared to even take a chance?
- Yeah.
Doc: You know, in this county, trespassers can be shot on sight.
Melinda: Uh, I'm not trespassing.
Doc: Do you work here? No. Are you a patient here? No. Did I invite you in? No. If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck, that is a duck.
Melinda: Okay. What are you gonna do, shoot me?
- Love you too.
- Come on.
- -[Lilly] Guys!
- -Of course we brought the knitting!
- -[Lilly] I love you! Thank you.
- -That's why we came.
- -Thank you so much for being here.
- -Thank you.
- -You want some tea?
- -Yeah.
Doc: What is your beef with Charmaine?
Hope: She's fine in small doses, but I've seen too much of her in the last two days, I've had my fill.
Doc: Can you just stop meddling in other people's business?
Hope: She's wrong for Jack.
Doc: That is not for you to say.
Hope: Says who?
Doc: Well, I'm guessin' Charmaine and Jack.
- Lilly overheard you talking to Mel.
- I appreciate you for understanding, and what a wonderful friend you are.
- Vernon… you can always count on me.
- Thanks.
- -Well, I'll get it all sorted out.
- -You always do.
- Okay.
- All right. Hey.
- Okay.
- I'll take the worst first, huh?
- Here you go.
- Mel?
- You all right?
[brightly] Uh-huh.
Jack: You sure?
- Yeah, yeah.
- Um, I'll be out in a second.
- Get in.
- Get in.
- -You look a little tired.
- -[groans]
- -You should come back to bed.
- -I told you I have a lot to do today.
- -Oh yeah, but come on. It's not even 7:00.
- -Aw.
- -Aw, you're not making this easy.
- -Oh really?
- Good.
- I just want attention.
Wes: By the way, don't even think about doing something stupid, because the next time I find you, I'm not gonna be so nice.
- Fine.
- But next time I'm snoring, will you just wake me up?
- Okay.
- But you should know, when it comes to you,
- I don't care about personal space.
- -Really?
- -Mm-hmm.
- -Like now?
- -Mm-hmm.
- You could try and sell.
- You'd have to disclose the infestation.
- I'm not selling the company. [sighs]
- I'll figure something out.
- I just-I need more time.
- Clock's tickin'.
- Thanks, man.
[sarcastically] Super helpful.
- I know... what I'm asking is a lot.
- Okay, but I-I can't ch--
- I can't change your past.
- But I wanna be a part of your future.
- I just need some time to think about this, okay?
- Take all the time you need.
- I'm not goin' anywhere.
- She'll get really mad.
- I'll never tell.
- I promise.
- Cross my heart, hope to die.
- I love you, Joey.
- I love you, too, squirt.
- You what?
- Here, just watch this.
- So this is, uh, proof of life,
- I guess, or whatever.
- About to get on the bus with Maxine.
- Brady, I owe you.
- That's it.
- But Marines are tough.
- Well, you can be tough and feel alone.
- So, if I go back to camp tomorrow,
- I might make a best friend like you did?
- Absolutely.
- I'll try that. Night, Preach.
- Yeah. Night, little man.
- You're feisty.
- You wanna go again?
- Yeah. Okay.
- -[Jack] Take this guy off.
- -Take this off.
- -[Jack] Oh, hold the line.
- -Oh, hold the line.
Jack: Yeah, that's it.
- It's okay. [shushing]
- Okay, here we go.
- It's 242 Commissioners Road.
- Thank you.
- Mel, please, please be careful.
- -I will.
- -Okay.
- I'm probably the only person in
- Virgin River with a subscription to Vogue.
- -So, this...
- -[chuckles]
- Um... Anyway, you should stop by for a muffin or something.
- -Oh?
- -Yeah. Us girls should stick together.
- Absolutely.
- -Okay. It's nice to meet you.
- -You too.
- and our chemistry was insane.
- And, uh… [inhales deeply]
- …one night we were together, and I was tired from working all day, so I told him, no.
- But he didn't stop.
- -[Mel] Mm.
- -[sighs]
- If they're still at that house, the chances of drowning…
- What about rescue efforts?
- Impossible. The wind's clocking in over 100 miles an hour.
- You have a king?
- Go fish.
- If somebody's sick, I wanna go and help.
- -Mel, we're not--
- -No, I'm only going with Jack.
- Boss doesn't like visitors.
- Yeah, well, I don't like guns being waved in my face.
- We can stand around threatening each other, or we can go.
- Get in the truck.
- I'm sorry, can I-Can I help you?
- I'm hurt!
- I can see that.
- I need oxy.
- Wait.
- Mel, you don't have to do this.
- Yes, I do.
- Jack, I need... I need you to know how I--
- Yeah, you'd think.
- -Anyway, I'll let you get back to work.
- -You didn't answer my question.
- What was the question?
- Is seeing them hard?
- Yeah, of course.
- But, you know, nothing I can't handle.
- -Tell Doc I said thanks for the dry bag.
- -Yeah.
- -You should take your truck.
- -No, I told you already. Sean's got it.
- Spencer's crap's not gonna fit in mine.
- So we take whatever doesn't fit, and we burn it.
- That's a great idea...
- Let's start a bonfire a mile away from a pot field.
- Jeez.
- Um...
- If you can't get an IV into her arm by tonight...
- She has to go to the hospital.
- I know, just give me the day.
- -Yeah, clock's ticking.
- -Okay.
- I'm gonna go grab my kit from the cabin.
- -Okay? I'll be back.
- -Okay.
- I'm gonna head back up.
- You coming?
- Paige?
- It's Preacher.
- Hey, guys, it's Preacher.
- Paige?
Doc: You need to get out of the car, ma'am. Your vehicle is stuck in the ditch.
Melinda: What? Oh, it's unbelievable.
Doc: Well, you're lucky you didn't smash this ridiculous little car into a tree.
Melinda: Thank you for stopping. I'll just call AAA.
Doc: Look around. You're in a heavily wooded area. There's no cell reception here.
Melinda: Damn it.
Doc: I'll call Bert once we get into town. If he's not too busy, maybe you'll get your car back this week.
- Ricky, and occasionally Brady.
- -Do you like it?
- -[laughs]
- Yes!
- -Here.
- -I can't believe it.
- You wanna see inside?
- Yes!
Melinda: I'm a certified caregiver. So, if you want, Social Services will allow me to look after Chloe until you can get back up on your feet. And that way, she doesn't have to leave Virgin River.
Lilly: No. I don't know. It's too much. You barely know me.
Melinda: You know, someone just reminded me the value in accepting help when it's offered.
Lilly: What if when I'm better, I still can't take care of her?
Melinda: I'm sure the town would love nothing more than to help you and Chloe. Just think about it, okay?
- Thirty days.
- But... if she can't cut it,
- I've got your word this is the last time you stick your nose in my business.
[Doc] Oh.
- I love this song.
- Is it loud enough?
- Do you like it?
[softly] Yeah.
- I like it very much.
- I didn't think we were doing anniversaries.
- Well... maybe it's time we started.
- I just thought it might be nice.
- Well, things are nice... the way they are.
- Well, I always had to work really hard to get what I wanted.
- And with Joey, it just kind of... came easily.
- It was hard to compete with her.
- Come on. I don't see any competition.
- Yeah, that's because I've gotten good at hiding my flaws.
- It's too bad you don't see yourself the way the rest of the world does.
Hope: Have you heard from Mel or Jack?
Doc: No. No. Bert found Jack's truck abandoned on the side of the road. No sign of Mel or Jack. Bert, he left me a message last night, and hell, I didn't get it until this morning.
Hope: Mel's sister called me. She hasn't heard from Mel since yesterday. And Jo Ellen told me Mel never came home last night. Maybe we should call the sheriff.
Doc: Already did. He's in Fortuna. Won't be back here for a few hours. I'm gonna go look for them.
Hope: There's only one road that leads to Myrtle Farms. I'm coming with you.
Doc: Oh, no. You're staying here. Someone has to help Brady at the bar. And as I recall, only one of us recently had a heart attack.
- My mom was a devoted mother who always put her kids' needs ahead of her own.
[voice quivers] She loved us ferociously and was our world.
[sniffles] So…
- The night that she passed…
- Yeah. I better get back to the bar to make sure Preacher isn't killing Brady.
- Oh, they don't get along?
- Please. The only thing those two have in common is a deep hatred for one another.
- Yeah.
- Bye.
- I know how I got here.
- How'd you get roped into this mess?
- She let me stay at the B&B last night and wouldn't let me pay her, so I felt like I owed her one.
- Oh, I see, I see.
- Well, when Hope gets back, she's gonna owe me a heck of a lot more than one.
- Hey, would you like a glass of Barolo to go with your filet?
- Do you guys carry Barolo?
- It's my private stash.
- Yeah, that'd be great.
- Just give me a minute.
- Huh.
- than sit around with a bunch of guys swapping war stories.
- Like, uh, buying a new car.
- Speaking of which, you look like you can use a new ride.
- Maybe you should, uh, talk to your boss about a raise.
- You know, Brady, for a little man, you sure got a big mouth.
- Even after the way you've treated him.
- Jack would protect you no matter what, and he's proven that over and over.
- Now he needs your help.
- Over there.
- Spencer's grave's right over there.
- We can have an open-door policy, and you can come and go as you please.
- Within reason, of course.
- Oh.
- Oh, that's… that's Todd, um…
- I should go.
- Thank you so much for the 7 Up.
- Her dad's sick, right?
- Yeah.
- Well, when you speak to her, just let her know we're thinking of her.
- -Sure thing.
- -Mm.
- Oh, and hey, did she ever tell you why she changed her name?
- You know,
- I decided it was none of my business.
- Lydie!
- Lydie, can you hear me?
- -There's no reception here.
- -Yeah, I see that.
- What are you supposed to do if there's an emergency?
- Improvise. [grunts]
- Lydie, can you hear me?
- Feel better?
- Yeah, I do.
- -♪ Oh, my, my ♪
- -[Mel sobs]
[laughing] Yes! Sorry.
- Yes.
- I love you.
- Come here.
- Oh!
- -Hey, cancel Doc's fish, will ya?
- -Copy that.
- Those guys still eating?
- Yeah. Curtis and the guys want sandwiches for later.
- Throw one on for you?
- Oh man, that sounds really good.
- There you go.
- -I'll bring her back in the morning.
- -I can drive myself.
- No. You are dizzy and lightheaded.
- And until I can get you back to 100 percent, your driving privileges are hereby suspended.
[sighs] Okay, well...
- Isn't this turning out to be a banner day?
Dan: So how are things at the bar?
John: Smooth, steady, reliable. You know, pretty much everything you're not.
- Her references are good as gold.
- Then what the heck's she doin' here?
- I guess she... wanted a change.
- Even if you're too stubborn to admit it, we both know you need help.
[sighs] Give her a chance.
- You got nothing to lose.
- Don't beat yourself up.
- You're doing a great job, Preach.
- Well, thanks. Both of you.
- I don't know what I would've done if something happened to him.
Melinda: I know. He's gonna be just fine.
- And he's gonna cue off of you, so when you go in there, make sure he knows everything is okay.
Melinda: Don't you need to get back to work?
Jack: No, not right now.
Melinda: Okay. Well, just because you're free doesn't mean you have to stay.
Jack: Oh, I'm happy to help.
- -Hey.
- -Set him down right there.
- Hang on.
- See, Brady, you're either on the team... or you're not.
- -Spencer's not.
- -[Spencer grunts]
- Go on. Take it.
- Well, then I'll... I'll call Hope or Doc.
- I want you to be happy, Jack. I really do.
- -Are you sure you'll be okay by yourself?
- -Yeah. Yeah, of course.
- Go. Have fun.
- Okay.
- Thank you.
- You and I both know that's not true.
- After we got engaged,
- Mark told me that you threw a fit when Mimi gave him the ring.
- He said that you kept hounding him about giving it back, but that Mimi told him not to because she considered me family.
- Mark would tell me to stand my ground, so that's what I'm doing.
- Actually. I'm sorry.
- Let me rephrase my last statement.
- You're being an ass.
- And if we didn't have a room full of patients,
- I would walk right out of here.
- Who's next?
- Hope, Lizzie. Lizzie, Hope.
- Hope has graciously offered to give you a tour of the town.
- Hard pass. [laughs]
Connie: Ah, ah, ah.
- You're with Hope.
- Have a wonderful time.
Jack: Do you have any idea how gorgeous you are?
Melinda: Did you hit your head already?
Jack: Nope!
Melinda: 'Cause I got my trauma kit right here.
