Day 413
Day 413 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. Training montages occur. Trash talk remains extremely polite. 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 Great Crossword Rivalry reaches its conclusion. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
