Day 3557
Day 3557 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. The gift-giver is revealed to be the least suspected resident, who is thanked with a modest ceremony. Kip Doyle and Dot Ferris no longer need a reason to call round. Cass Tanner was born to Bev Tanner and Milo Ferris. 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.
