Episode
Day 1983
Day 1983 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. The radio in Truman Beaumont's kitchen has been persuaded to play his favourite song. He is singing along, badly. The Town Hall clock and the bakery clock disagree by two minutes. Both are certain. Ned Ferris was born to Lark Ferris and Abel Callahan. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Bench at The Pond reaches its conclusion. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.

21:56Edie Gorse is negotiating with a bar stool and appears to be losing.

22:09Fern Gorse is telling the same story again, now with improved weather.
22:14Iris Brody has become extremely confident about lighthouse engineering.
