Day 5

What a day in Seahaven Springs! Marla bounced back from the hospital with newfound opinions about lighthouse design, just in time to enjoy an evening stroll with a surprisingly content Gus Tidewater—clouds and all. Meanwhile, poor Elaine caught the sniffles and found herself under Dr. Pratt's watchful eye at Seahaven General, though Kip's visit promised to lift her spirits, and a kite lodged itself in the park tree like a puzzle waiting for the town's inevitable committee to solve it. As Friday evening settled in at The Anchor and the sun made its punctual exit over the bay, Bev was already plotting revenge against the seagull that made off with her sandwich, Norma forgot which direction home was, and the traveling garden gnome continued its mysterious journey through town—a small mystery that kept everyone happily guessing.

What was said

13:27June Ellery, Norma Quist
Norma, I hope you don't mind — I'm filing the town records, and I noticed something.★

14:40June Ellery, Sal Marino
Marla's got the coffee on, but I wanted to catch you before the lunch rush. How's the kitchen holding up?★

15:22Kip Doyle, Truman Beaumont, Pearl Gorse
Boss, boss, you gotta hear this — I saw Gus and Marla leaving The Salty Gull together last night, and I'm telling you, that wasn't a business meeting.★

15:45Norma Quist, Marla Finch
Morning, Marla. You look like you've got something on your mind again.

Bev. Didn't expect to see you this far from the filing cabinets.

16:26Kip Doyle, Elaine Whitlow
Boss! They told me you were in here. Brought you a cinnamon bun from this morning — well, technically yesterday morning, but I've been holding it hostage.

19:37Gus Tidewater, Marla Finch
Marla. Thought you might be here. How're you feeling?
