Day 5601
Day 5601 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. Nothing has happened in Seahaven Springs for three days. The Sheriff is restless. Dot Ferris and Kip Doyle have stopped leaving their friendship to chance. Cass Tanner and Bev Tanner no longer need a reason to call round. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. A Quiet Week for the Sheriff runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
