Day 5290
Day 5290 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. The gift-giver is revealed to be the least suspected resident, who is thanked with a modest ceremony. Bev Tanner is not currently speaking to Rex Callahan. Rex Callahan is cooling off in the Sheriff's holding cell after the business at The Anchor. 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.
