Midnight At The Blackbird Cafe

The reporter speaks to Natalie, asking about the revitalization of downtown Wicklow. Natalie gives the credit to Anna Kate, suggesting it is because she shared the blackbirds with everyone. The reporter asks how that could be when Anna Kate only recently came to Wicklow, and Natalie explains that all girls return to Wicklow, and their mothers, eventually. When he asks if Anna Kate’s mother isn’t dead, Natalie tells him he isn’t paying attention.

Gideon stops by the café to speak to Anna Kate and tells Anna Kate he is preparing the paperwork for her to take over the deed of the café so she can sell it. Anna Kate becomes introspective over the idea of leaving Wicklow. Gideon tells Anna Kate about a dream he had long ago after he ate a piece of Zee’s pie. It contained a message from his grandfather, who told Gideon to buy Hill House for his law practice. In another dream, Gideon’s grandfather said that Hill House and the café should be reunited, so he frequently asked Zee to sell the café to him. Zee responded that it was up to Anna Kate. Gideon says that he’d be willing to sell Hill House to Anna Kate if she’d stay, but she insists she has to leave.
