My inheritance.

- This is not about Faith!

- Yes, it is about Faith!

No, it's not, Jake!

Come on, do something.

You should have one of these.

Trust me, it helps.

That's it right there.

Suit yourself.

That's why I want to leave.

Jake was right about you.

I have to admit I wasn't,

but he called it.

Called what?

That you were the one.

That you were going to split this family

right down the middle.

Candace, let's go.

Congratulations.

He's all yours now.

Hey.

Hi.

I fell asleep and...

- Daddy?

- Hmm?

When did the music stop for you?

Was it before or after she died?

It never stopped, sweetheart.

I still hear it... every day.

- Good night, Daddy.

- Good night, baby.

Church tomorrow, don't forget.

# Peace like a river

# Attendeth my way

# When sorrows like

# Sea billows roll

# Whatever my lot

# Thou hast taught me to say

# It is well

# It is well with my soul #

Whoo!

Snakeskin! I'm more

of an alligator fan myself.

Lee? Oh, my gosh!

How are you?

I'm good.

I think the last time I saw you,

you were ignoring my

Facebook friend request.

- Stop it, I did not do that.

- Mm-mm.

Not accepting is ignoring.

It's OK, I'm stalking you on Twitter.

Um...

So... what have you been up to?

Uh, well... I am a doctor now.

In the ER in Whiteville.

- You're kidding?

- No.

Do you think it's funny?

Uh...

That the guy who used to burn ants in

this parking lot with a magnifying glass

at vacation bible school is now the only

thing between me and death?

- Hmm.

- Yeah, it's, uh...

It's a little disconcerting.

How's... How's Luke?

I read about it on the Internet

and from people...

Dr. Lee, how you doing?

- Good. Good to see you.

- Good to see you.

Good to see you.

- Hi!

- Hi! You look just like your mama!

I'd swear she was standing here right

now if I didn't know better.

Thank you, Miss Essie Mae.

How are you doin', darlin'?

Wonderful. You come see me now.

- I will.

- Welcome home.

Ohh... what a lovely woman.

She sure is.

I hate to see her so sick.

I don't know

how much longer we'll have her.

Come on, Faith.

We don't just live in a time capsule

while you're living it up in New York.

Listen, I know we need to talk.

- Do we?

- You're my sister, Olivia.

You deserve to know what's going on.

Come on over later.

We'll talk then.

- What was that all about?

- Sister stuff.

- Hm.

- What's this?

Oh. They were at the altar,

in memory of your mother.

- Did you put them there?

- Every year.

This is the anniversary of the accident.

Yeah.

"Love never forgets. "

We don't wanna scare the fish,

so we're gonna lay it out there,

nice and easy.

Just like that, there you go.

When I grow up,

I wanna marry you, Daddy.
