Day 409
Day 409 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. Sal Marino has been released from the Sheriff's office with a stern word and a handshake. Dot Ferris is stepping out with Dr. Cornelius Pratt. Gus Tidewater is stepping out with Marla Finch. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Anonymous Good Deed takes a turn. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
