Day 3519
Day 3519 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Orson Ferris has been discharged from Seahaven General and is right as rain. Jonah Ferris is not currently speaking to Perry Gorse. Bea Callahan is being kept in overnight with a cough with genuine ambition. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. A Surprise for Kip Doyle takes a turn. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
