- Oh, Bev I'm sorry I missed you,
but I'm so happy I got your voicemail!
Wondering when you might be getatable
for a little red biddy, little back chat? Hm?
Oh, and we're moving to New York.
I Just thought it was time. Ciao.
- Don't tell me you're having lunch with Bev
after all this. - Imagine?
No, I amputated those people years ago.
But Bev and her big bazoo will get the word out
quicker than any group memorandum.
- Well, that's a relief.
Kids! Breakfast is served.
- I already ate. Oh.
- I don't see any breakfast. - Mimosas!
We're celebrating!
Ruth sent over a bottle of champagne.
- So there's no food then?
- Would you look at this family?
Alexis, pursuing a career in PR.
- Hm. David, expanding his business.
- Hm.
- Moira, I have no doubt Broadway will be calling,
or maybe a pledge drive on PBS.
- [Chuckles] Oh, you are sweet.
- I say we do something as a family tonight.
Maybe cook a little something?
- No. I don't think that's a good idea.
- Absolutely not. - I mean, look around, family.
This won't be our home for too much longer.
[Silence]
So let's celebrate.
Picture. - Hm.
- Let's raise those glasses.
David? You don't have to look quite so morose.
You're with your family.
- [Small chuckle] - [Camera clicks]
Ah, now that's a framer. [Laughs]
[Phone makes a sound] - You just deleted it.
- What's that? - [Disappointed groans]

- [Sighs] Is it just me, John, or does the air not have
a particularly lovely redolence today.
- Oh.
- Do I detect a scintilla of lavender?
- Isn't it funny how the air suddenly smells sweeter
now that you know we're leaving.
Still doesn't feel real.
[Loud honk]
[Door shuts]
- Roland, you bought a new truck?
- Well, Johnny, if you wanna be an executive,
you gotta drive like an executive.
- It might be a bit premature spending all this money.
- Well, what's the point of having a regular paycheque
if you can't have a little fun with it, right?
- I went to the spa. Had a pedicure and a blow-out,
at the same time. [Laughs]
I'm surprised I didn't see you there, Moira,
celebrating your big "Sunrise Bay" news.
- And what would that communiqué entail?
- The reboot!
Don't tell me I'm the first person
to congratulate you!
- So it's a go. Um no, uh,
unfortunately, I won't be participating in that
little vanity project.
Best to keep ones gaze on the horizon,
not the posterior view.
- Sure. - Oh, Honey,
I think we better get going.
I gotta get the truck back to the dealership.
I told the salesman I was just taking it around the block.
But then I thought, maybe some cinnamon buns
might just buy us a sun roof.
[Laughing] - Bye.
- Here, Honey, you hold the buns.
- I thought they might have at least called
to say they were moving on.
- [Sighs]
Big things are coming your way, Sweetheart.
Don't you worry. - Okay.
I don't. Worry is but undernourished enthusiasm.
[Door opens, shuts]
- Hello.
- Something's different.
Your... hair.
- Is in a ponytail because I didn't wash it.
- Oh. Okay. It just sort of looks like
since you got the deal you've decided to dress
more professionally.
- Can I help you with something in particular, or...
- Uh, actually, yes.
I need your advice. - Hm.
- What says, "Patrick, you're gonna love New York" more:
a gift card to Joe's Pizza or tickets to "Wicked"?
- You're taking Patrick on a trip to New York?
- Uh, no. We're moving there with all of you!
What? Do you think we're gonna stay here all by ourselves?
- I'm not moving to New York, David.
- What?
- We decided that Roland and I would stay here.
And I'm gonna travel around and set up all the new motels.
I mean, I realized I didn't need to live in a big city.
I guess I just needed to know that I could.
- Mhmm.
- So I take it you didn't like the house?
- What house? - What?
- What house?
- Patrick may have been looking at a house for the two of you.
He didn't say anything about that?
- Uh, No. Like-like to buy?
- He said that you guys had driven by it a bunch of times.
- That house is for sale?
- No. I don't know. I--
Can we stop talking about this?
I feel like I'm doing something wrong.
So you're finally getting out.
- Yeah. Um...
I should probably go talk to my husband.
- Okay.

- Oh, Alexis, garbage day is the same for the whole street.
You didn't need to bring your garbage all the way here.
- Um, I brought my garbage here for a reason.
I thought you might like to wear some of it.
- What?
- As you know, David and I are sharing an apartment
in New York, so I'm like downsizing a little bit.
- I can't take all of this, Alexis.
Maybe we can do another swap?
Or, or, why don't I just go through it
and pay for the ones I wanna keep?
- No, Twy, I can't take your money.
I've seen how people tip here.
- Alexis, between us,
I don't do this job for the money.
- Okay, well, if you don't do this for money
I'm scared to know what you do do for money.
- Okay, now that you're leaving,
can you keep a secret?
- Depends on how dark it's gonna get, but yes.
- I won some money in the lottery a few years ago.
- Oh my God, Twy! Go you!
Why did you not tell me this before?
- Well, because you guys had just gotten here
and, and you had just lost all your money.
Well, what was I gonna say?
I just won $92 million?
- You won $92 million?
- Oh, no. Sorry. - Okay.
Okay, because I literally was about to pass out.
- Yeah. No, no. I split the $92 million with another guy.
- So you won like...
[Struggling with the math] S-so much money.
- Shh. I just--
I just don't want anyone know.
It changes things.
- Twy, what are you doing here?
You could be anywhere, doing anything.
- I have everything I need right here.
And if I've learned anything
from how my mom spent the money I gave her,
it's that money can buy a lot of snowmobiles,
but it can't buy happiness.
So it's about how you live your life.
You know, doing what makes you smile.
And being here, getting to hear your stories
over the past few years,
even the scary ones,
that makes me smile.
- Twy,
you might be the best person I know,
but as someone who has had a lot of money
and then not had it and now is like still pretty poor,
but somewhat okay?
Every now and again,
spending like a little bit of money
on something really special,
it might not buy you happiness,
but it can definitely help make you smile.
- [Small laugh]
This cute dress makes me smile.
- Hm. - [Twyla laughs]
- Not quite sure how that one got in there.
But anything else in there is yours if you want it.
[Bag rustles]
[Gasps] Aw!
- There you go.
- John, considering I'll have some time to fritter
once we're there, do you think you might
want to put me to work? - Well, I didn't know
that would be of interest to you, Moira.
But I'll see if I can get you something.
Remember when you were the Rose Video spokesperson
that one year? - How could I not?
Oh, that photo of me sunbathing atop a giant VHS tape,
was a staple of Times Square for a whole season.
- [Chuckles] - What do you have there?
- Well, I don't know, it's for you.
- Oh.
Oh, it's from Tippy.
[reads] "Dear Moira. You win.
Welcome back to the Bay."
John, it's a... tennis bracelet.
- What tennis bracelet? - My tennis bracelet.
[Phone rings]
It's Tippy.
[Beeps phone on] Tippy.
Yes, I just received it.
Please, tell me this is not some barbarous jape.
Yes. Yes.
My answer is a yes!
A clangorous, vociferous YES.
Thank you. Thank you.
- What's all that about?
- "Sunrise Bay."
Wow. When forced to choose between Clifton and myself,
they decided mine was the bigger name.
- What?! - Yeah.
- So it's happening?
[Laughing] - Yes. Oh, John.
Thirteen episode order.
They've already sent through two scripts.
And-and I have to start in two weeks!
- [Laughing]
- Okay. What is everybody screaming about?
- "Sunrise Bay". It's happening.
They've accepted my demands.
- All of them?
Even the bracelet? - Even the bracelet.
- And you're giving it to me?
- No, there are 30 diamonds on that thing.
- Our offices will be in New York.
Sounds like we're in for a tricky commute.
- We'll just work it out, John.

- Oh.
Well, if you need some flattering things to say
about me, I'd me more than happy to help.
- I'm good. Thanks. - Hm.
Why didn't you tell me about the house?
- I um,
I was gonna wait until after the wedding to tell you.
- Hm.
- 'Cause I know how flustered you can get
when there's more than one thing on your plate.
- Hm. Unless it's food.
- [Small laugh]
Yeah, and then New York happened and...
I don't know, it just seemed kinda pointless.
- Mhmm.
When did that house even go up for sale?
- Well, technically, it didn't,
but after the fourth time that we drove by it,
and you commented that it reminded you
of Kate Winslet's cottage from "The Holiday".
I just knocked on the door and asked them to call me
if they ever decided to sell.
Turns out their daughters are off to college,
and they're moving to Florida.
- So that's why you were so reluctant to move.
- It's just hard to picture living someplace
you've never even visited.
And I always thought you didn't like New York.
- Um, no, uh, I love New York.
It was just a weird time in my life.
But I don't want you moving somewhere
that you're not excited about.
- I'm excited to be with you. - [Exhales]
- And there are some pros to being there.
I mean, it would open the business up
to a much larger market.
I'd finally get to see a game at Yankee Stadium.
- Yeah, and by then you'll have met some people
that would go and do that with you.
- It's gonna be a tough goodbye.
- Hm.
- This is where we started our life together.
[Reluctant agreeing sigh]
- Yeah.
[Low hum of chatter]
[Door shuts]
- [Laughs] Why have I not been told about
the double-decker sightseeing tour.
All: [Laughing]
- Well, we wanted to show our support for your move
to the Big Apple!
- Yeah, we heard that "Sunrise Bay"
was moving on without you, but who needs them?
- Well, you know-- - I say, fuck 'em.
- Veronica! - No, she's right, Moira,
they'd be lucky to have you on their two-bit show.
- Yeah, and reboots are never as good as the original.
- Well, aren't you a wolf pack by which any gal
would be so lucky to be protected.
- [Flattered chuckles]
- But it's time for this pup to disperse to new territory.
"Sunrise Bay" called with an irresistible offer.
- That's great, Mrs. Rose.
I mean, who doesn't love a reboot.
- [Weak laughs] - So what does this mean?
- Alas, as much as it pains to say,
this will mark my last rehearsal with you all.
[Emotional] - Oh my goodness.
- Oh, thanks for the heads up.
- Camera waits for no one. - Wow. Moira...
I'm not as prepared for this as I thought I would be.

- No. I just-I just don't like surprises.
We should-we should get started.
Woman: Yeah.

never - I've never felt more buttress

Not to flog a metaphor but...
wolf pups are born blind and deaf,
and in your care I have learned to see and hear
the beauty in the bucolic.

No, I was just thinking about
how Patrick must have driven out here,

if they ever planned on selling
just because I...
I said it was nice.

Good people do things like that.

Apparently there was an electronic music festival
in Norway that took priority.
Why do you wanna go back to a place
