The reporter speaks to Pebbles who confuses him with her random conversation about Otis and pies. Pebbles is ill and disgusted with Otis so she leaves to rest.
Otis is upset because he didn’t have a dream of his wife the night before. Pebbles is annoyed when Otis won’t consider the idea that his wife no longer has anything to say to him. Seelie comes in and orders the special. Zachariah questions the power of the pie, and Faylene corrects him. A woman asks Anna Kate if she sells t-shirts, which gives her another idea for how to raise money for Summer.
Natalie rushes home to get ready for her next grief counseling appointment and finds a package on her front steps. It is the photograph of the waterfall Cam took with a note from him. She is touched by the gift. Seelie calls Natalie about some fabric a friend wants to give her. Natalie reflects that in the past, she would not have paused to take Seelie’s call in her hurry to get to her appointment. Seelie’s enthusiasm cheers Natalie. As they talk, Seelie mentions seeing Cam drop something at the house, but in an unusual show of restraint, she doesn’t criticize Cam or Natalie’s relationship with him.
