Day 3179
Day 3179 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. Bea Callahan has been released from the Sheriff's office with a stern word and a handshake. The contest ends in a tie. A rematch is scheduled for next season. And so concludes: The Great Chess Rivalry. The town will live with how it ended. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
