Catch of the Day (2025)

[bunniefuu]

A little pause... and we are back.

Behind!

Looks a touch heavy on the ground fresh.

Hmm, your language seems a bit

dangerously close to overcooking.

Table 22 at the pass.

Everything's so fantastic tonight, Chef.

Thank you, Evelyn.

Thank you.

Great.

Are you getting a reception?

Can we check the entrance?

It might be their

connectivity, I don't know.

Oh, so nothing?

I must have hit refresh at least 50 times.

I'm sure the review will post any minute.

Oh, it's taking so long.

Can I say something?

Speak, Sophie.

Dining here is like going

to an award -winning play.

The anticipation when

the lights dim is like

how our aromas tantalize

before the first bite.

Every dish is a plot twist that

your palate didn't see coming.

From our Kampachi Crudo

to our Buttermilk Panna Cotta.

Abingdon Park is worthy

of a standing ovation.

And if the Times can't

see that, then they should

be reviewing hot dog carts in Central Park.

Let me know if you hear something.

Absolutely.

Show's over, everyone.

Back to work.

Table eight, one tuna, one tilefish.

Julie, Sophie.

Yeah.

Tile fillet with daironnes on two.

Yes, chef.

Welcome back.

How'd you make out?

We got around 500

pounds of tile-fish here, Ken.

Nice work, Sean.

Okay, let's get you unloaded

ASAP so you guys can head home.

I'm sure your wife's gonna be happy to

have you back for a couple of days, huh?

Oh, she just wants to be home

so I can finish her honey-do list.

Happy wife, happy life.

Or so I've heard.

All right.

What are we thinking?

A big fish like this is

always getting my attention.

But as you know, Ken, I

look for diamonds, not stocks.

Diamonds are forever.

But 500 pound tuna makes one

heck of a Sushi party with Suzuki.

Sorry, that was, uh...

Lucky for us, we've caught onion gin.

Okay.

Well, I'll make sure I get the tuna

to JFK for the flight to Tokyo tonight.

At 40 to 50 dollars a pound,

this guy deserves first class.

Thank you very much.

Watch your step.

Yep.

Thanks.

Ken, we got a problem.

Ed just quit.

Montauk is too expensive for him now.

Wait, so he can't work tonight?

All right, all right, I'll get on finding

his replacement, but right now we need to

find someone to do the

drop in the city tonight.

I'd do it, but my kid's got a late game.

Okay, all right, all right.

Um...

Okay, I'll take the tuna to JFK,

then I'll do the drops in the city at the

restaurants, and that

should give me enough time

to get to Fulton for the

market opening in 2018.

I'll have my cell phone

on me, just in case.

That's all right.

Godspeed.

Thanks, man.

The review is in.

The review is in.

Abingdon Park elevates the craft,

carrying the flag for classic French

technique, exquisitely handled

seafood, and pure pleasure.

Four stars.

Four stars!

Four stars!

Okay, we are now one of just four

restaurants in New York that has four stars.

And, thank you, I say we, because

this is an honor bestowed onto all of you.

I'd like to thank every one

of you for the parts you play.

But, I'd be remiss not to

give a special shout out.

Sophie, your skill is a gift.

I'd like to elevate you to be my sous chef.

Congratulations.

And, of course, thank

you to my accomplice, my

partner and child, the

formidable Evelyn James.

To the best kitchen in the city.

Tonight, we celebrate.

Here, here.

Sophie, that speech earlier,

I appreciate your dedication.

Cheers.

Abigail, hey!

I have great news.

Okay, we've got a big problem.

Oh, what's wrong?

We are under water.

Sorry, hey, Sophie, I gotta go.

I'm trying to get ahold of a plumber, okay?

Of course, yeah, yeah,

no, we can talk tomorrow.

Bye!

Bye.

Good morning.

You wanna finish yawning before we talk?

It's my silent scream for coffee.

I'm sorry.

I'm up.

I'm up.

What's up?

Oh, did the plumber come last night?

Yeah.

It's gonna be $3,000

to fix the pipe, Sophie.

Okay, well, it's summertime.

It's gonna pick up, right?

We had a bad Memorial

Day weekend, and a lot of the

new restaurants are

having big 4th of July parties.

Oh, and the woman from Hungry

for Montauk posted that video.

What video?

Oh, check your text.

Marissa here from Hungry for Montauk.

The award for the most downhill

restaurant goes to The Flaktide.

This used to be the best family-owned

restaurant on all of Long Island.

This fish is straight out of the Ice

Age and not even thawed properly.

Is it frozen, Abigail?

What was that good news

you were talking about?

Well, we got four stars.

And...

I got promoted to sous chef.

Sophie!

Oh my goodness, I'm so happy for you.

Abigail!

The milk delivery didn't show again.

I don't think they grasped

the delivery part of their job.

Can you just figure it out, Javi, please?

Sophie, I don't know if I

can handle this anymore.

Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't... It's been really

hard with Dad gone these past few years.

And the competition is insane.

There's so many new restaurants in town.

It's almost empty every night.

And I don't know if I can afford

to keep Javi on full-time anymore.

So, what do you want to do?

I get calls almost every day from

developers wanting to buy this place.

Oh, so you want to sell?

Okay, well...

I don't know, maybe it is time.

I don't know, maybe it is.

You know, Mom's not ready.

She said it's the glue that

holds the family together.

It's her memories of Dad.

But if we're gonna hold on to it...

Something's gotta change.

Okay, well...

Let me mull it over.

Sophie, there's no time for mulling.

No mulling, all right?

The Fourth of July is

just around the corner.

Okay, so what can I do?

I was thinking...

Maybe... You come to Montauk for a bit.

You know, just like three weeks.

Help us get over the holiday

hump with some new recipes.

Abigail, I can't.

Sophie, you are literally the

last resort for the slack tide.

Three weeks.

We just got our fourth star.

And you just got your promotion.

I haven't asked for time off in...

I haven't actually ever

really asked for time off.

Who am I supposed to get

to fill your shoes for that long?

We're going into the summer season.

And I would not ask if it

wasn't the family emergency.

Is someone sick?

Not exactly.

Sorry to interrupt.

William, it seems your new sous

chef would like three weeks off.

What are you doing?

Working?

Well, you better get packing.

Clock's ticking.

I got you ten days.

That's it.

Seriously?

How did you get her to change her mind?

Well, you'll need to do Evelyn a

little favor while you're in Montauk.

She's entertaining some

investors at her house out there.

You're cooking them dinner.

Oh.

Okay.

Yeah, I can do that.

Are you gonna be okay without me?

Evelyn wants Julia to step in

as sous chef while you're gone.

Oh, and be at the

downtown heliport in an hour.

I got you a ride to Montauk.

You're welcome.

Yes, chef.

Thank you, chef.

You're welcome.

Yeah, I did that.

This dinner has to be perfect, Sophie.

I want to open a new

location and you could be one

of my new executive

chefs sooner than you think.

So don't go getting homesick on me now.

Yeah.

I won't.

Yeah.

Thank you for this, Evelyn.

You know why the locals

call Montauk the end, right?

Yeah, it's the easternmost

point of Long Island.

And it'll also be the

end of the line with me

if you take one minute

longer than ten days.

Open your eyes, let it begin.

Today is the day, we'll let the light in.

Take my hand, we'll...

Well, I mean, we have to try something new.

I'm bursting with ideas, okay?

But I think the most important

priority is that we find you a line cook.

I agree, but we're closed today.

What do you mean you guys are closed today?

Yeah, we've been closing

Mondays, Tuesdays to save money.

Abigail, why aren't you telling me

about these problems as they come up?

I don't want to burden you.

You've got your own life.

Mia!

Sure, there they are.

Hi, it's Sophie!

Hi!

Oh my goodness, when did you get so tall?

Yeah, it's been a while since

we've seen Aunt Sophie, hasn't it?

What has it been since Christmas?

Long Island Railroad

runs west too, you know?

Rick.

Good to see you.

You too.

Oh, let me see my baby girl.

How are you?

Oh, I'm good.

I am just so proud of you, honey.

Four stars.

Hey, did you see that

the girls have a pet frog?

No.

Do you want to see a picture of Hoppy?

So much.

They are cute.

I've got to run.

I took that gazebo job for the town.

You did?

Yeah, I'll be home late.

I'm going to swing by the house after.

Rick's flipping a house and I'm a gown set.

We're on a bit of a limb, but I

only think it's going to pay off.

Yeah, with your

carpentry skills, it's going

to be a work of art by

the time you're done.

Thank you.

Alright.

Okay, bye.

I will go watch the girls.

Phew, when did it get so tired?

Well, it didn't happen overnight.

I never realized how

much Dad did to keep this

place running until I

tried to fill his shoes.

I guess little by little

it just... Changed.

Yeah.

I mean, I guess none of us noticed.

I don't know if I'm cut out for this.

I'm not Dad.

Oh, love.

Nobody is.

Okay, you are doing the best you can.

I was thinking we should hire a manager.

You know, that'll take some

of the pressure off of you.

Who's going to want to step into an aging

restaurant in the middle

of Long Island luxury?

If we do it right, they'll want to come.

Okay.

I can work with this.

I was hoping you would say that.

Maybe it's going to take some elbow grease.

What is it?

Just thinking about Dad.

Always right here in this spot.

Wearing his blue bandana.

And you standing right next

to him every chance you got.

I can almost smell that stock

in a pot on the back burner.

I have some new recipes.

I'd love to teach them to you.

All right.

Afraid to ask, but how

is the walk-in looking?

Uh, you know, we're just

going to deal with that later.

Why?

What are you hiding in there?

There is frozen fish.

Abigail Monaghan, how can

you serve frozen fish when you

live in one of the greatest

seaports on the eastern seaboard?

Because it's cheaper.

Besides, who can tell the difference

once it's battered and deep-fried?

Not that blogger, for one.

She's not even local.

Well, Dad was, and he is

rolling in his grave right now.

You know what I'm going to do?

I'm going to go down to the docks,

and I'm going to buy us some fresh fish.

No, you're just going to

come to the house first.

We'll get you settled.

You promised the girls

you would meet their frog.

Well, I now have work to do.

Can we have one night to catch up

before you go into full-on chef mode?

I promise, our problems

will still be here tomorrow.

Fine.

Fine!

First thing tomorrow,

I'm going to the docks.

Great.

Oh!

Whoa!

Hey, hey, hey!

You okay?

I'm stuck!

You all right?

Yes!

This is a public dock!

Tell your people to watch out!

I mean, it's also a working dock.

You have to look out where you're going.

Sophie?

Sophie Monaghan.

Cam?

What are you doing?

I'm...

I'm here for the catch of the day.

I got some fluke.

I can get that ready for you in a second.

That would be lovely.

Thank you so much.

Gosh, I haven't spoken to you in...

Since you kissed me in the seventh grade?

Sure you're all right?

Yep, I'm fine.

Okay.

All right.

Hey, could you please pack

up some of that fluke for me?

Thank you.

You must have been

thinking about me a lot, huh?

What?

Even that kiss was... That was ages ago.

Yeah.

That would mean I would have

been thinking about you for decades.

So... No.

Okay.

You did, like, stop talking to me about it.

We just ran with different crowds.

We were into different things.

Out of sight, out of mind, huh?

How's New York City doing?

You couldn't get out of here fast enough.

Well, what's wrong with New York?

I mean, clearly it worked

out really well for you.

You're a chef there, right?

I'm a sous chef at Abingdon Park.

That's funny.

I just had a delivery

there the other night.

It's one of our new contracts.

So you, uh, you still work for your dad?

Yep.

This is it.

Started the fall after senior

year and never looked back.

What was that thing you had?

You had a...

Oh, what was it called?

Come on, come on, come on.

Cam's Crawlers.

Best worms in Montauk.

Cam's Creepy Crawlers.

Creepy, creepy crawlers, right?

So I was such a disappointment to you.

No.

No, my dad wants me to

take over this place someday.

That's great.

So what brings you back home?

Oh, just, you know, back helping

a little bit with the restaurant.

Oh, I bet Abby's relieved.

Yeah, I mean, not...

You know, Montauk's

changed, so... for the better.

Wait, really?

Shishi tourists trading

seashells for champagne flutes?

Okay.

Our cozy little beach town's more

like a glossy coffee table book, though.

Change can be good, Cam.

Excellent, thanks.

Thank you.

All set.

Yeah, great, thank you.

I'll, um... I'm gonna go.

Yeah, it was, uh...

Oh, uh, if you know any good

people, we're looking for a manager.

Join the club.

I'm looking for one, too.

It's...

It's not easy out here.

Huh.

Okay, well, good luck with that.

See ya.

Enjoy your fluke.

With her mighty spatula and her heart full

of flavor, Sophie Monaghan

is here to save me!

Bobby!

So good to see you.

You too.

We've missed you a lot.

Okay, you two.

It's not that bad.

I saw that.

I... I brought some fresh fluke.

What is that?

It's a whitefish.

Delicate, mild in flavor.

Good for people who don't

like their fish to taste like.

No, I meant what is fresh.

Uh, I've never heard

that word in here before.

That is way out of our price range.

That's what it is.

Our scaly friends cause more than my rent.

I saw Cam at the fish market.

So how is Cam?

He looks good.

Oh, he looks good.

I asked how he's doing.

Yeah, he... I meant he seems good.

What is this look?

What look?

It's the same look that

you had after he kissed you.

No, no.

Just excited about this new

recipe I'm going to try, okay?

Do we have any white wine vinegar?

I don't think so.

Classic.

Mm-hmm.

Fluke crudo is served.

Where's the rest of the fish?

Did it swim away?

Very funny.

Just try it.

It's good.

It's really good.

But... Did you want to put it on the menu?

Come on, has the New

York smog fogged your brain?

Our regular customers expect

way bigger portions than this.

Affordable portions.

And by affordable, you mean frozen fish.

And by customers, you mean locals.

30,000 people come to

this little town every summer.

Most of those people are from the city.

Okay, we have to tap into that

market like everybody else here.

Why?

This is a family restaurant.

It's dad's restaurant.

Okay, not everybody wants to have this

gourmet food when they're on summer vacation.

Mm -hmm, right.

And how's that working for you?

Honestly, I've been working my tail off

while I'm trying to raise two daughters

who I barely ever get

to tuck in at night, so...

I'm sorry.

I shouldn't have said that.

That was way out of line.

I'm sorry.

Let me at least close for

you while I'm here, okay?

That's the least I can do.

Yeah, that'd be nice.

Crudo!

Table two!

I'm so happy you enjoyed the special.

What are you smiling about?

They really like the special.

Well, have you seen how

many people are out there?

That's nothing special.

Come on, it's gonna take time.

Well, we don't have time.

And Oman is right.

There's a feeling here.

Our family history is here.

You know, if we can make enough money by

the fourth, like, just enough to hold on,

we should not sell.

Yeah.

Sophie!

Hey.

Hi!

Uh...

Are they biting?

Nope.

But we are in the window.

Two hours before high tide, one

hour after is when they should be.

My life revolves around the

gravitational forces of the moon.

Mine revolves around

how late I can sleep in.

Wait, you, um... Sorry.

Will you just hold that

for me for a second?

Careful.

Wow, that's beautiful.

That's the COD father.

Carved it myself.

Really?

That's amazing.

My grandfather taught me.

We'd try out different types of scrap

cedar and see which one worked the best.

Sounds just like me and my

dad trying out different recipes.

We'd feed them to my mom,

and if she lightly rested her

fork on the plate, that would

mean it was not a success.

Pat, you made the best food in town.

I can't believe he's been

gone three years already.

Thank you.

Sure.

Um, I should go close up.

But, um... I have faith in that COD father.

Okay.

Okay, copy time.

What do we got?

What was that?

Cleaning crew?

What are you guys doing?

What are you doing?

Cooking.

Cleaning.

Take this.

I made dad's cioppino.

Cioppino?

Yeah.

I thought you were still sleeping.

Your door was still closed.

Guys, I know what we need to do.

We need to close the restaurant.

Oh.

Really?

So you want to close?

Yes.

Well, I thought that you were

just kind of getting into this.

Okay, we'll talk to mom today.

She's not going to be happy about

it, but if both of us... No, no, no.

I don't mean close, close.

I've only been here two days, okay?

Hear me out.

If we really want to give this a shot,

we have to close the restaurant, okay?

But just until the fourth,

we got to modernize

the menu, we have to

spruce the place up, okay?

We got to get a social

media presence, okay?

We got to spend money to make money.

Have you won the lotto since you got here?

Because we have big bills to pay.

We've got customers to keep happy.

What customers?

There were two two-tops and a four-top

last night, and even fewer for lunch.

It costs us more to stay open with

the food costs and paying our staff.

It basically has nothing to do.

Sorry, Abby.

I'm sorry, Abby.

What's, uh... What's happening?

She must have closed

down the restaurant for a bit.

To make improvements, okay?

Take the dining room, for example.

Well, what's wrong with the dining room?

The paint is peeling like our potatoes,

the tables wobble more than a rowboat,

and I'm pretty sure that those...

what are they, fake flowers?

Are older than the

Montauk Point lighthouse.

Okay, uh, I can help with

some of that, but, you know, I am

pretty busy at the house,

and financially, we're strapped.

Yeah, Rick's been taking money from his

business and putting it into the restaurant.

Oh, my goodness.

I haven't tasted anything this good

since we got cell service in town.

This might be better than your dad's.

Abigail, I can teach you.

Honestly, what else do you

have to prove at this point?

If your other idea is...

or is as good as this cioppino.

Okay, we have just over a week, and

then we open again, because everybody

knows this is the best

place to watch the fireworks.

Can I borrow your car keys?

For what?

Thank you.

I want to stop by a mirror first.

No, I'm taking it.

Good note.

Yes.

I'll take two pounds of

fluke, three two-pound

lobsters, and a pound of

the striped bass, please.

Doesn't sound like enough

food for a hungry restaurant.

Uh, it's not.

No, uh, we closed the slack tide.

Oh, I'm sorry to hear that.

I was really hoping you

guys could turn it around.

Oh, no, no, no, we didn't,

like, we didn't close it, close it.

We're just doing a restaurant reboot.

Okay, good.

See that?

Great.

And look, I'm still putting

my foot in my mouth.

Kind of like when you told Mrs. Murphy that

her dress looked like

your grandmother's couch.

Second grade was a rough one.

Um, hey, who has the best

produce around here these days?

Green room farms for sure.

I'm actually headed there today

to grab some stuff for my mom.

I can take you if you want.

Oh, no, you know, I don't have a

cooler for my fish, so... Yeah, you do.

Yeah, I don't have a... I

mean, I have my sister's car.

That's what I meant.

I'm going there anyway, so if you

want to drop the car off, I can drive it.

You know what?

No, it would actually be really nice.

It'd be lovely.

I'd love to.

I'd love to.

Okay.

Let's do it.

Thank you.

Yeah.

I forgot how good this feels.

That warm sea air.

It takes me back to senior

year driving out to ditch planes.

So, I'm sorry.

About high school.

Everything happens for a reason.

You find some good

produce, and all's forgotten.

Okay.

What do you and your

city friends do for fun?

Well, most of my friends work in restaurants,

so, you know, we do pretty crazy hours.

It's kind of hard to get out.

Right, that makes sense, yeah.

So, why aren't you married?

Wow, you just... Well...

You just dope right in, huh?

You know, it's not that I don't

want those kinds of things in life.

I just figure it would happen

when it happens, you know?

And it turns out,

smelling like a tackle box

isn't as charming as I hoped it would be.

Oh, peaches.

My mom needs me to get peaches.

She's making peach cobbler.

My favorite.

Okay, well, on a warm summer day,

you should be able to smell them from here.

Oh, really?

Yeah.

Oh, yeah.

And... if they are too firm like this...

that it's not ready.

Um...

You should come to Aberdeen Park.

The pastry chef makes

a great peach clafoutis.

Yeah, I don't know.

I got everything I need here.

I got my friends, my

family, my one true love.

Oh, right.

With the amazing lures

made out of... Cheese.

Cheese is actually good

for catching freshwater fish.

You walk away, I'm over

there talking to myself.

Well, cheese.

Okay.

They have Jersey cows

right here on the farm.

So good.

Mmm.

Homegrown is the best.

Homegrown is the best.

For locally sourced produce.

Can I have two pounds?

Thank you.

So your boss doesn't need you in the city?

Yeah, she does.

I had to shamelessly beg for time off.

And I might not have

told her that the family

emergency was a restaurant,

as opposed to a person.

Ooh.

Yeah.

So I have to cook a big dinner

for her investors while I'm here.

She has a place on Cliff Drive.

Oh.

Well, that's fancy.

Yeah.

What's, um...

What's the end game for you?

Losing the sous and sous chef?

What?

Yeah.

Executive chef by 40.

Executive chef by 40.

Why 40?

I figure by then I'll be ready

to be the one in charge.

You know, I'll have traveled the world

and worked at the best restaurants,

and it'll be time to cultivate my own menu.

Hmm.

Yeah.

Do you ever think of doing

all that at the slack tide?

I'm just asking because when we were kids,

you said you would never leave Montauk.

But then I grew up.

I happen to still think

it's pretty special.

Hmm.

Sorry.

Oh, it's, um...

Evelyn, hi.

Mm-hmm.

Yep.

It's going well.

The menu's coming along well.

I need a few more days.

Mm-hmm.

I do realize how important this is.

Of course.

Okay, bye.

Hey there.

Is that your boss?

Yeah.

Sounds like you got a lot

riding on this dinner, huh?

Oh.

Just my whole future.

Is that it?

Yeah.

Hi.

Thank you.

Sophie Monaghan, you are into Cam.

It's written all over your face.

No, he gave me a ride to the

farm, not a ride into the sunset.

Can we focus on dinner?

Mom, Mia's wearing my sweater.

Okay.

Okay.

It doesn't even fit you.

Shh.

Girls, can I teach you how to clean clams?

They smell.

I know, I know.

But you know what?

You're just gonna run them under

some water, then you're gonna give them a

little scrub with a brush, and then you

put them in a bowl with a pinch of flour.

And then they spit out all the sand.

It's like magic.

Clam spit?

Ew.

I believe in you.

Give it a go.

And we need wine.

I don't feel comfortable, but I will.

Do you see?

Do you see hugs?

You guys are doing great.

It's so gross this week.

It's so gross this week.

It's always really hard to get off.

You take your knife, and

he's just like... Delicious.

Mm-hmm.

And the toasted bread

crumbs, nice extra texture.

Thank you, Mom.

How's it going?

Hey.

Ah, seafood slump, sadly.

But please, step into my office.

If you're up for it, I think

you'll bring me a little luck.

How were the clams last night?

Oh, amazing.

Thank you, Easton's.

You bet.

Yeah, it actually inspired

the menu for my boss's dinner.

Oh.

Working on it right now.

I do my best work when I run.

Feeling a little overcrowded

up there right now.

Well, this might put a

little wind in your sails.

It was just posted.

Fresh catch of the day.

I've got it on good authority that an

Abingdon Park alum is taking the lead at

the slack tide.

Things might be looking

up for the OG of Montauk.

And hey, it's the best

sunset on Long Island.

We're here for it.

That's great, right?

Well, well, well.

My boss is gonna lose it if she sees that.

Oh.

As if this day couldn't get any

worse, I'm also interviewing managers.

Yeah, I haven't found mine either.

I feel like interviewing is about

as bad as going on a blind date.

Pretty much.

Yeah.

If you need rescuing,

you can text me code word

sashimi and then I'll call

you with some big emergency.

It's got me out of more than a couple jams.

Oh.

Like what kind of jams?

Dating jams.

Hey.

You wanna get dinner tonight?

Uh, you know what?

I'm so busy.

I don't...

Yeah.

After the interviews,

you're gonna see it today.

You're gonna need a break.

Trust me.

You are probably not wrong about that.

Okay.

Yeah?

Yes.

Alright, I'll see you then.

Okay.

Good luck.

See ya.

You know, I doubt someone like Evelyn

James even follows Hungry for Montauk.

Right.

And yet here she is.

On cue.

Evelyn, hi.

Cooking for another restaurant is a first.

Right.

And I'm so sorry.

I should have told you that my

family owns the Slack Tide and that I...

I shouldn't have to find out what

you're doing from a small town blogger.

You know, I should fire you.

No, no, no, no.

You don't... You don't have to do that.

I've got this.

Okay, I promise.

I promise.

I've got it.

Hello?

You know, some of these

people look promising.

I mean, at least on paper.

Sounds just like the dating world.

Could we help?

I see you've had a lot of

restaurant jobs over the years.

I like to move around.

I ran a snack cart last summer.

Not everyone gets my passion.

I'm an ideas guy.

What kind of ideas?

Diners order cryptic dish names and they

don't find out what they're getting until

the food arrives.

Great.

How did that go?

It was awesome until I got hit three times.

Like, damn, damn, damn.

I choked the snack cart

a little too close to the

driving range and got

pegged by some golf ba*ls.

Ouch.

Ouch.

Or we could choreograph dance routines for

the wait staff during busy dinner hours.

And my recipe ideas.

My coconut shrimp ice cream is to die for.

It's fusion.

Thank you.

Thank you.

We got one left.

One chance.

Hi, I'm Louis D'Angelo's.

You have a very impressive resume, Louis.

Why do you want to work here?

Well, I used to come here as a kid.

The food was amazing.

I still remember your mom and dad.

They were the best.

Are you interviewing anywhere else?

Yeah, there's lots of

positions open in town, but I'd

love to make this a

permanent thing if it works out.

It's been really fun having you

back home and reconnecting.

How did it go today?

We found a manager.

Really?

Yeah, I can now return to the city

guilt -free, knowing that Abigail has help.

Guilt-free?

What do you mean?

I'm kind of rolling in here for birthdays

and holidays and not really paying

attention to the fact that

she's been pretty stressed.

I've been a bad sister.

No, stop.

No, you haven't.

It's really hard running your own business.

That's why I haven't done it myself.

So it looks like everything's

going to work out, yeah?

Had you asked me this

morning, I would have said no.

But yeah, with Louis, I feel

like it's all coming together.

Louis?

Oh, it's Abigail.

Hi.

What?

Really?

Okay.

Thanks.

Bye.

What was that about?

You stole Louis.

You offered him so much money

that he turned our job offer down.

No, no, no, no.

I had no idea.

Okay, well then why don't you call him and

tell him that your job offer is no more?

I have a big business

that needs this to work out.

It's so hard to find

any help on this island.

Really?

I didn't know that.

I didn't know that.

It's not personal.

It's just business.

Okay, well, I beg to differ.

You know what?

This is getting complicated.

What, us or the restaurant?

All of it.

Everything.

I mean, do you think I overreacted?

No, Louis did seem great.

But I have a feeling it's more

than just about the manager.

Abigail, I'm sorry.

No.

It's not your fault.

I'm sorry that I haven't

been here to help you.

That I wasn't here when Dad died.

I'm... I'm missing

seeing the girls grow up.

Sophie, I think maybe we

should talk to Mom about selling.

Just think about what we should

do with all that money and...

financially, the pressure it's

been putting on Rick and I.

Well, we can use some of my savings.

What?

Yeah.

No.

Sophie, if this is about you feeling

guilty, you gotta know that Dad,

he didn't fault you for

going after your dreams.

He was so proud of you.

He would brag about you to

everyone from Montauk to Patch Hawk.

I mean, my daughter,

the big New York City chef.

Thank you for that.

You know how when somebody tells me I

can't have something I wanted even more?

Yeah.

I'm there.

I'm there with this

and I think it's worth it.

It's worth saving for the family.

Sink or swim.

But if we sink...

we sell.

Rick, can we do white

instead of ocean breeze?

Whites are for persnickety chefs

in the Montauk Shores racket club.

What's persnickety?

People who pay attention to detail, honey.

It's for perfectionists like your aunt.

Ladies, as much as I

appreciate your help, which is very

much, I actually think the

fewer people in here, the better.

Just for today.

And these paint fumes probably

aren't great for the girls either.

White is the final answer though?

She's the boss.

Let's go to the beach and have a gansett.

Yes!

Are you kidding?

We don't have time for that.

Well, I want to go to Jack's

salt farm and I can pack a picnic.

We do have a giant box of salt.

We've got multiple boxes of salt.

Every ingredient counts.

And you say you don't spend

enough time with the girls.

This will be a wonderful

thing to do before I leave.

Three hours, that's it, okay?

Please, mom?

Yeah, please?

Yeah, go have fun.

Okay, okay, fine.

Fine, I haven't seen Jack

since he moved home.

Let's do it.

Love it.

Cam is here.

Don't cut him out.

It's one of the good ones.

Hey, hey, Jack!

Oh, hey, Sophie.

Hey!

It's time to go.

I've been too long, Jack.

Hey.

Hey, Cam.

Hi.

Hey there.

Hey, what are you doing here?

I came to grab some salt for the market.

And I needed some more

of my new secret weapon.

You know this guy makes

the best lures on Long Island.

Jack, have you met my daughters?

No, this is Mia and Charlotte.

Hey, I hear you're my new

salt farming crew for the day.

Come on, girls.

All right, put them to work.

Fresh ocean salt, driving

right here beach-side.

Well, I, um, I've got to take off.

I've got to run back to the dock.

Have fun today.

It's a beautiful day.

Hey, Cam.

Um, I'm sorry about the restaurant.

You don't have to.

No, I would like to apologize.

He was completely uncalled for.

It's business.

And I don't know why, you

know, it just doesn't matter.

I'm sorry.

Got it.

Thanks.

You should stay.

No, no, no.

You're with your family.

Come on, dude, love for you to stay.

It'll be fun.

Okay, all right.

No, don't, don't.

Are you guys... We said no!

You said no!

You said mercy!

You said mercy!

Hey, you okay?

Yeah.

I'm thinking about my dad.

He would have loved this.

The ocean.

His grandkids.

So much here that reminds me of him.

Just to have this regret.

I feel like I didn't spend

enough time with him, you know?

I was really close with my grandpa,

and after he passed, I had to force myself

to focus on the now.

Because I... I found I just

kept getting swept away by...

similar feelings.

Like, here we are on this beautiful beach.

It's the cr*cker of a day.

Yeah.

Your adorable nieces are over there having

the time of their lives,

and that's the now.

I might be wrong.

I don't know if that's helpful or if

that's what you need to be careful.

I think that that's, um...

Yeah, thank you.

Okay.

You know what else my dad loved?

What?

Messing with us?

Oh no, you didn't.

Guys...

Rick needs me to pick

up some supplies for the

restaurant, so are they

okay with you for a bit?

Yeah?

You good?

Yeah, I can take them.

We can drive them home.

Yeah, okay.

Sunscreen.

Bye!

Sunscreen!

We're good.

Thank you.

Yeah, we got it.

Bug spray.

Yeah, we can try it.

Let's try that.

There's wasps.

Are you guys good?

Yeah, I spilled bubble

juice on my watermelon.

Oh, you know what?

It's a good thing we got more.

Want to try your luck fishing?

I still got loads to show the girls.

Wait, do you like fishing?

I... will see.

Okay.

Here we go.

Let it rip.

Two.

Go on two.

It worked!

That was really good.

Wait, okay.

No, that was really good.

Now what?

I mean, you're a professional.

I locked it.

You're doing it all.

Okay.

You've never done this before, huh?

No.

Okay.

Well, that was fun.

Well, you made that look really easy.

You look good with the girls.

Thanks.

You want kids someday?

Haven't really thought

about that in a long time.

Yeah, I mean, I've always

seen myself with the family.

I just...

I don't really know what that looks like.

You?

Being a father is one of the only things

that I've always known that I wanted.

Yeah.

Well, then you just have

to find the perfect woman.

Just need to find the perfect woman.

Who is that?

Is that Fisherwoman?

I think she definitely has

a sense of humor, for sure.

Yeah, she doesn't have to fish.

That's my thing, right?

I think it'd be nice if

she liked that I fish.

But, yeah, no, I want her

to have her own hobbies.

And dreams, and passions, and ambitions.

And I want her to chase those

things and go after them with abandon.

Like you.

Oh, uh... It's Evelyn, I gotta take it.

Hi, Evelyn!

Yeah, uh...

Well, I'm with a friend and my niece

is right now, but I could drop the...

No, right now?

Okay.

Sure, I'll be right there.

She needs to see me right now.

Okay.

I'm gonna get the girls.

Tell the girls and I'll pack all this up.

I'm really thirsty.

I know, love.

I'm gonna ask Evelyn for some water, okay?

Hello, Sophie!

Hi, Evelyn!

These are my nieces.

This is Mia, this is

Charlotte, and my friend Kim.

Oh.

They're all here.

Yeah, I know, I'm sorry.

My sister was, um... It doesn't matter.

Uh, Mia's thirsty.

Any chance we get some water?

Yes.

Come in.

Thank you.

Liza!

Oh!

Mia, we don't... Stop, stop, stop, stop.

I'm sorry.

If I can find her, I'll get my

housekeeper to bring us some lemonade.

Thank you.

Out back.

Liza!

I'll take that inside.

Okay, thank you.

Alright.

Okay.

Julie, you're here.

Sophie.

I knew you'd resist, but I brought

Julie to help with the cooking.

Happy to do it, Evelyn.

I mean, you can't have too

many cooks in the kitchen.

Wonderful.

Let's talk about the menu.

Yeah, um... Well, I was thinking of doing

spaghetti with clams, maybe a cioppino.

That sounds a little... pedestrian.

Okay.

Well, I can think of something else.

Julie!

Do you have any ideas?

I'm so glad you asked.

We can start with albion of Pearl

tapioca and island creek oysters.

Then fluke, paired with

local lobster, topped with

wilted arrow leaf spinach

and clam de chapeon.

And for dessert, tropical mango and coconut

panna cotta with fresh

passion fruit slices.

Excellent, Julie.

Evelyn, um... I'm sorry.

I have clearly been a little

distracted, but I promise

you, from now on, this is my

top priority moving forward.

Good.

Because as I told you

before, what they think matters.

If this goes well, you might end

up as my executive chef... in Vegas.

Vegas?

That's your next location?

I love Vegas.

So... Yeah?

Sorry to bother you.

Mia needs to use the bathroom.

Oh.

She can use the one in the pool house.

All right, um...

All right, Julie, you're saying...

Okay.

Oh, hey, cuties.

Oh, did you have fun?

It's a little much fun.

We brought you salt.

Oh, thank you.

It's the best salt, too.

It's the best salt.

Well, what do you say to

Aunt Sophie and Mr. Easton?

Thank you.

Oh, thank you.

I love you, Aunt Sophie.

Me too.

I love you guys.

Oh.

That was fun, right?

Okay, should we go get

cleaned up before dinner?

Yes?

See you, man.

I mean, your girls are... they're special.

Aw, thanks.

They're the best.

I should, uh, I should get going.

Girls!

I met this wonderful

gentleman at the market.

Stefan.

Where's Stefan?

I'm back!

I realized I never told you I

have more than just recipe ideas.

I can cook.

Your mom says you're

looking for a line cook.

He could help you with

your recipes, Sophie,

and he could take the

burden off you, Abigail.

You know what, I think that's

actually a great idea, Mom.

Mmm.

Sasha, no, why... I'll

get the deep fryer started.

Don't touch anything... yet.

Why will you... what did you...

You haven't found me a line cook yet.

Pepper, say no more.

That's great, thank you.

Gotcha.

Right here.

There we go.

What's hot beside?

Okay, and final part of

the staging is just that.

On top.

Okay.

I don't like the color.

I'm sorry, you don't.

Right, just ever so

gently wipe the outside.

Gotta work on that.

Wonderful.

And you put it here.

Spin it out.

Order up!

Do we have mandolin slicers?

Sashimi Steve is winging his

way into the city as we speak.

Thank you for the lifeline.

I really didn't even know to drive

her into the city, so it worked out.

I think Steve will at least

be able to handle that.

That is questionable.

But thank you, I owe you one.

Again.

Come to some dinner.

I'm starving.

Okay.

If you don't mind helping.

Oh, I was thinking we... you wanna... Yeah.

Yes, that's a much better idea.

Grilled swordfish piccata?

Yes.

Okay.

Baked lobster?

Yes.

Is it everything's a yes?

Your dad's crab cakes.

He made amazing crab cakes.

He did.

They're good, they're basic.

We could change it up a bit.

You know, but not too much.

Or Abigail's gonna flip.

Give him a little kick.

Oh.

Yeah, like a spicy kick.

A band of juice?

An orange?

I mean, I know I'm a

fisherman, but I'm not a...

Come to an idiot.

Cilantro fridge.

Yes.

Cilantro fridge.

We got it.

Okay.

I saw it right now, man.

You saw something.

What did you ask me for?

It's a beautiful crab cake.

I'm so hungry.

I'm so hungry.

We're gonna dip in some flowers.

We're gonna grab a spoon.

Crab cakes are served.

Wow.

Your first.

Wow.

I have never had a crab

cake that good before.

I wish I could serve this as an

appetizer at my boss's dinner.

What was that thing about

Vegas at your boss's place today?

Evelyn is opening up a

restaurant in Vegas, and

she's considering me

to be her executive chef.

Considering?

Yeah, well...

Guess it depends how this

dinner with her investors goes.

Whew.

Your whole life is in New York.

You'd be 2,500 miles away from home.

Mm-hmm.

Landlocked.

Being an executive chef at one of

Evelyn's restaurants is... a big deal.

Like, life-changing big.

And her doesn't want to live in a large,

overpriced mansion like she does, huh?

Right?

Sure.

No, but... to be clear... Yeah.

You gotta chase your dreams.

Thank you.

It's a long shot, you know?

I'm more into bridge than

Blackjack anyway, so... Yeah?

You any good?

Well, I can...

always tell when somebody's bluffing.

The forced smile you gave me back

there when you said you were happy for me?

Always your tell, even when we were kids.

Was that obvious, huh?

Yeah.

Sorry.

I'm actually envious of you.

A little bit.

I mean, you've got so

much to look forward to.

You've seen so much of the world.

Yeah, but you have a great life here.

I mean...

Yeah, I do.

My work keeps me on my toes, and...

sometimes I just think...

something's missing.

Have you ever thought about

starting something for yourself?

Like... I don't know.

Could you sell your lures?

Could that be a business?

I...

I don't think I can juggle

that and the fish market.

Come on.

That summer we lost touch, I saw

you all over Montauk washing boats.

You were selling your creepy crawlers,

and you were working at the fish market.

You are a multitasker.

No, it was just kid stuff.

Thank you.

And thanks for... for dinner.

This is... It's just tremendous.

You're really talented, only you do.

I'm...

I'm sorry.

I think I should get going.

Why did you kiss me at the salt farm?

Salt.

You're chasing your dreams.

And you should be.

My link is here.

Good night, son.

Good night, Ken.

Blueberry scone from the bake shop.

My favorite.

What are you working on?

I'm gonna train the kitchen

crew in the new recipes today.

I think you should sit in.

Just in case we don't find a new line cook.

What about...

Never mind.

Yeah, no, Stephen was a complete

disaster, which reminds me, Mom is never,

ever, ever, ever allowed to bring

home potential kitchen crew again.

Okay, he put sugar in the stew.

No.

I had to text Cam for a lifeline.

Oh, so Cam came over.

I thought it wasn't working

out between you two.

No, I mean, I'm leaving soon, so...

People do long distance.

Yeah, I don't think he's

one of those people.

I'm sorry.

Thank you.

You know what?

We're just gonna do whatever we can today.

And then tonight we're gonna blow off some

steam, because there is a bonfire at Ditch.

Okay, that sounds like fun.

Oh, and maybe we could

find a new line cook there.

Yeah, maybe.

Oh, wow.

It is just like it used to be.

Yeah, lots of your old

friends come to these bonfires.

We're gonna grab a drink.

Sure, yeah, thank you.

Wow.

Thank you.

Cheers.

Any future line cook sightings?

No, not a one.

You know, I was serious

about you spending time in

the kitchen with me so I

could teach you some stuff.

I mean, just enough for you to get by.

Abigail, are you happy

you stayed in Montauk?

I mean, I have moments

where I think about you

in the big city and I

feel jealous a little.

But then I see the girls looking for

clowns on the beach or writing their names

in the sky with sparklers

and I think I'm really

proud to give them the life

that Mom and Dad gave us.

You know?

Yeah.

Yeah.

It was an amazing life.

I took it all for granted.

I'm really wondering if I'm

just letting life pass me by.

Like I spend six days a week,

14 hour days at that restaurant.

You have no idea the pressure we're under.

Really?

Yeah.

I have no idea about pressure?

Sophie, you've been here for a week, right?

And you're feeling all nostalgic

and you think that suddenly

I'm just going to step in and

become this instant master chef.

Okay, Abigail.

No, no, no.

Pressure is trying to run a restaurant

when you don't actually like to cook.

All right?

And how about trying to make decisions

that actually affect people's lives?

That's always fun.

Abigail, I didn't mean

that it was... I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm really tired.

You know what?

I think I'm going to go.

We just got here.

Rick can find you guys a ride, okay?

Are you serious?

Come on.

Abigail!

Everything okay?

Just sister stuff.

Oh, you've seen my sisters, aren't you?

I get it.

Is it okay if I sit?

Yeah, of course.

There was a time when I

couldn't wait to get out of here.

Now I find myself...

not wanting to say goodbye.

What did you mean when you

said the other day about everything

happens for a reason, but

us not talking in high school?

Well... after that summer...

I was so excited for the

fall to get to hang out again.

That didn't happen.

So I threw myself into the restaurant and

cooking, and I didn't know it at the time,

but that's what set me up to

go to culinary school in Paris.

I meant it when I said I'm sorry.

In high school, I was...

I was so focused on hanging

out with the right crowd.

I didn't see what was right in front of me.

Life is suddenly very

complicated, and I don't like it.

It doesn't have to be.

Easy for you to say.

You have it all figured out.

No one has it all figured out.

There's an old saying.

Fish at your feet first.

Try to get the ones at your feet,

instead of casting your line way out into

the sea and crossing your

fingers and hoping it all works out.

Mimes.

Check.

Hey there.

Catch of the day.

Pressure off the boat.

My Easton's delivery,

delivered by Mr. Easton himself.

I feel so VIP.

Reporting for duty, chef.

Ready to be the finest fine

dining server in old Montauk.

Thank you.

Just packing up.

Have you guys seen the

new Hungry for Montauk?

No.

Should I be scared?

No, it's... it's... no.

Well, no.

You... I don't know.

We're at the year from Hungry for Montauk.

Word is the slack tide will

be back in action for the fourth.

Will it float, or will it flounder?

I'll be here to serve up all the dish.

Oh, that's great.

Now Marissa's gonna

pounce if one thing goes wrong.

Can I... is there

anything I can do to help?

Yeah, there's a box of

platters in the basement.

Would you mind getting those for me?

Bring them up?

Sure.

Yeah, just to the left of the stairs.

Thank you.

Um... I don't think that's what he meant.

No, I know.

I know.

I just... I gotta stay focused here.

I'm sorry about yesterday.

If you can just give me

today, I am all yours tomorrow.

I'm sorry, too.

Thank you.

I'm gonna go set up.

What's that thing called again?

Sous vide.

Su-fancy?

It's basically a sleeker slow cooker.

It keeps the fish juicy.

I just hope Evelyn handles

the swordfish swap okay.

You know, I haven't even met her yet.

Marty getting icy boss vibes.

She is, um...

detail-oriented, which is what

makes her a brilliant restaurateur.

Right.

What just happened?

Guys, what happened?

Please don't tell me

the power just went out.

The power just went out.

What's going on?

Rick is hearing it could be midnight

before they get the power back on.

Midnight?

Tonight is the last night

my investors are in town.

Make it work.

I don't care if you have to

buy every candle in Montauk.

I can use the grill.

The grill?

That's just so... Pedestrian.

Exactly.

I have a great recipe for my

dad's grilled swordfish piccata.

Are we back to your family recipes again?

No offense, Sophie, but I want

Abingdon Park, not Montauk Beach BBQ.

None taken.

I'll take it for you.

We can do it torch-seared, Evelyn.

It'll still keep some of the

succulents from the sous vide.

Great idea, Julie.

All right, deep breaths.

You keep prepping.

I'm gonna go out and get candles

and ice before they sell it everywhere.

Thank you, Abby.

Come on.

Julie, the swordfish.

I'm sorry, the bag was so...

What are we gonna do?

Sashimi?

Evelyn does not like sashimi, Sophie.

Hey, I come bearing crab

meat and striped sea bass.

I sold out a swordfish.

Sorry.

It's okay.

It's another pivot, but we got this, right?

Thank you.

You're the best.

You're welcome.

How's it going?

I thought Abingdon Park was stressful.

This and the reopening, it's a lot.

I thought I made it clear.

No barbecue.

Yeah.

Evelyn and I ruined the swordfish.

Unbelievable.

So, we don't have a lot

of options, but if you want

this dinner party, then

you're gonna have to trust me.

Okay?

Okay, then.

Here's hoping I don't 86 my career.

Get ready.

This is going to be a fantastic meal.

For your first course, a spicy crab cake.

With a finger-lined beurre blanc sauce.

And a local peach

relish with Fresno chilies.

Enjoy.

Cheers.

Thank you for being here.

Thank you.

Please.

You were phenomenal tonight.

Thank you.

Anything for you, Selvie.

That was some stunt you pulled.

Changing up the menu like that?

I know we're in the middle of a

blackout, but... Spicy crab cakes.

Barbecued bass.

It was fantastic.

They loved it.

Not only do they want

to invest in Vegas, but

they want to call the

restaurant Bit of Montauk.

And...

I want you to be the executive chef.

Are you serious?

Is that a yes?

Yes!

Yes!

Thank you.

Take the win.

Sophie, be at the helipad

on the 4th at 8 P.M.

Take the chopper to JFK

for the red-eye to Vegas.

But the fireworks...

I realize the timing isn't great, but

we have to seize this opportunity.

Of course.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Award for best pivot goes to...

Thanks for not telling

her it was me back there.

You didn't have to do that.

You're welcome.

You're really good at what you do, Sophie.

You saved the night.

Thank you.

That means a lot.

Congratulations.

Hey, if you ever need a sous,

you know where to find me.

Congratulations.

Yeah, um... Evelyn

offered me the job in Vegas.

That's what you always want,

a ride executive ship by 40.

If you did it, you're gonna be amazing.

Thank you.

I'm gonna go collect my things, um...

but... Congrats.

Thank you.

Hi, Neil.

Happy fourth.

Happy fourth.

Hey.

Just checking in on our big order today.

It'll be delivered by noon.

Great.

Um, is Cam here by chance?

He's probably sleeping.

He's been working some long hours.

Oh.

Deliveries?

Actually, Cam has been

selling his lures this week.

When did he start doing that?

A couple of days ago.

He even set up shop here.

Worms, too.

His lures have been flying off the shelves.

No word from him yet, huh?

Um... See you later.

Excuse me.

Thank you.

Bye.

Three days I've been calling him.

I hate leaving it like this.

There is so much I love about

Cam, but our timing is terrible.

I mean, I've been waiting

my entire career for...

Vegas?

Yeah.

Then why don't you seem that excited?

I am.

This is not your excited look, Sophie.

Your excited look was when...

you won the fifth grade science fair.

You remember that?

Remember?

And then when you told Dad

that you were going to Paris.

And your looks.

Okay, so maybe it's not exactly what I...

you know, was hoping for,

but I'm sure I'll grow to love it.

It's the desert.

There's no ocean views.

Yeah, thank you so much.

I've heard.

All of the... Yeah, we're good.

Okay, we got it.

Did you do this?

No, I was going to ask you the same thing.

Maybe Rick?

No, Rick.

Rick would have told me.

You know what?

Cam did ask me for

photos from the salt farm.

And I had him go down to the basement.

He's got it bad for you, Sophie.

Okay.

You know what?

I have something for you.

Thank you.

Yeah, I thought you could

wear it today for good luck.

I will wear it.

We don't need luck.

He's going to be watching over us.

Come here.

This is for you.

Enjoy.

Table six, order up.

Sophie, they love everything.

Does this mean I can get to be

manager for more than a day?

Seems that way.

Hey, thank you for being here.

Are you kidding?

I wouldn't have missed these last

10 days for anything in the world.

Marissa's going live.

Oh, she's outside?

She's here.

Let's do it.

Okay.

Marissa here from Hungry for Montauk

at the new and improved Slack Tide.

And when I say improved, I mean

this place is lit up like the fourth.

The cioppino, the kick and

crab cakes, it's all so delicious.

And it's not just the

food that got a makeover.

It's like a whole new restaurant in here.

So bring the family, come on

down for the food, the fireworks.

You won't regret it.

Hey.

Abby said it was an emergency.

You're out of flounder?

No.

You're not out of flounder.

I don't think so.

Did she?

I think she did.

Well, happy fourth.

Happy fourth.

And thank you so

much for the pictures, sir.

Thank you.

Yeah.

Hope I didn't overstep.

Oh, those are beautiful.

And congratulations on your lure business.

No.

I love the name.

Yeah, well, we surveyed

creepy and it just wasn't lending.

So this is the adult version.

All right.

Thank you for the inspiration.

Anytime.

So you're all set with the new job?

Yep.

I leave tonight for the city.

You did it.

Congrats.

Thank you.

Congrats.

Okay, girls, no spying.

Well...

Uh...

Don't be a stranger, all right?

Okay.

And, uh, that bandana?

It's really working for you.

I like Cam and Sophie.

Yeah.

So do I.

Hey, we're gonna miss you.

We'll miss you guys.

And I'm gonna make it my mission

to find you that line cook, okay?

And I'm gonna scour the Internet for

applicants from east of Rockaway Beach.

I think you're gonna hang on until then.

I know you can.

Well, I hope you come

home more often, Sophie.

Can you come to my

sailing regatta next Saturday?

Lovey, I gotta work.

Send me lots of pictures.

All right.

Gotta go.

Gotta say bye to Rick and Mom

and Pac and get on that helicopter.

Okay, I love you.

You got this.

You got this.

You got this.

Bye.

Abby!

Hey.

Hey, Ray.

Hey, Susan.

Great job.

It was awesome.

Cam, I'm so glad you're here.

Best fireworks on Long Island.

I'm sorry.

She's gone.

I just thought...

I'm gonna look for a spot on the beach.

Okay.

See ya.

See ya later.

I'm glad you got home out of your

way because we have a lot of work to do.

Sophie.

Get in.

I can't do this.

Evelyn, I'm sorry I quit.

You're missing the boat

on an incredible opportunity.

I know.

There are so many other boats out there.

I found my slack tide in Montauk.

Once I leave, the offer's gone.

Yeah.

I have never been more

sure of anything in my life.

Good luck, Sophie.

Follow your heart.

I hear you're looking for a lion cook.

I'm a little overqualified, but

I'll give you the family discount.

Are you staying?

She's staying!

She's staying!

Actually, I think there's somebody

else you might want to tell.

Did you miss the bus?

Shouldn't you be in New York right now?

I want to be an executive chef on my terms.

So wait.

Does this mean you're staying here?

I want to watch the sun sets with you.

I want to be with the people

we love, the people that matter.

You've reminded me where my heart belongs.

Sophie, not Anne.

I got to tell you.

I got a great life here.

Great job.

Great friends.

Great fishing spots.

It's a great town.

But now it's perfect.
