Day 5990
Day 5990 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. The contest ends in a tie. A rematch is scheduled for next season. And so concludes: The Great Crossword Rivalry. The town will live with how it ended. Elaine Whitlow is in Seahaven General after they was outmanoeuvred by a wet floor at the bakery. 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.
