He goes to see his friend Danny and is like, “Sorry I was gone for a while, but I'm here now and ready to help.” Meanwhile, Elliot is going full conspiracy mode, reading every article he can find. Kat keeps trying to get ahold of him to see if he's coming to dinner, but he's too busy printing copies of important archives. He eventually shows up, completely zonked, and leaves pretty quickly. Things are still awkward between Jacob and Del, and Kat encourages him to talk to her. Then Jacob randomly brings up those threatening letters that I had completely forgotten about. Kat talks with Del about her loss back in 1979, and they have a really sweet heart-to-heart. Later, Del goes outside to talk to her horse…and the horse starts acting weird. Makes you wonder. Jacob meets Max, but the conversation gets cut short when he sees the mysterious girl from the bar walking past the window. He follows her to the park, where she introduces herself as Abby. Turns out both of their families are from the area. They head back together, and that's when Jacob realizes Abby is Max's sister. She finds out he's Jacob Landry, and when he learns she's Abby Goodwin, she's basically like, “Okay…I'm outta here.” Kat goes to check on Elliot, and he suddenly kisses her BIG TIME. She also spots the copied archives, but Elliot gets weird and makes up excuses about why he has them. He suspects his mom may have been a fortune teller back in the 1920s, and Kat remembers hearing stories about one. They find a flyer advertising an upcoming fortune-telling event that hasn't happened yet, so naturally they decide they're jumping back together. Max surprises Alice with a plaque on “their table,” but yeah, they're totally just friends. Del tries talking to the horse again, but this time it charges at her. Jacob offers to help, but Del snaps that she'll just get attached and then he'll leave again. Starting to think she's not really talking about the horse anymore. Kat and Elliot make it to the carnival in the past. The pond is ponding. Alice runs into KC again. She's like, “Why are you here?” KC responds, “I don't know. Pond be ponding.” Alice immediately asks, “Am I your mom? Do I marry Max?” KC refuses to answer directly but says, “Good questions. Follow your gut and you'll have no regrets.” Kat and Elliot search through carnival tents looking for Elliot's mom. Kat spots the Auggie boys and Elliot follows them while Kat chases after someone she thinks might be Tessa. Naturally, they lose each other. The Auggie boys end up capturing Elliot. Luckily, Elliot manages to beat them up himself, but then Cliff shows up and arrests the boys. Kat and Elliot reunite and run into Fern, who urgently tells them to leave. Then they discover Cliff let the Auggie boys go free because, apparently, money talks. Back in the present, Del keeps working with the horse, and it finally starts trusting her again while Jacob watches from a distance. Kat and Elliot finally locate the fortune teller's tent. A huge crowd gathers, including basically everyone they know from the 1920s storyline. The fortune teller walks onstage and…I still honestly don't know if it's Elliot's mom. She calls Kat onstage and reads her palm, telling her she's a time traveler and that she's there to rescue her. Then “Tessa” asks Kat to meet her backstage. But before they can actually talk, the Auggie boys kidnap her. Kat realizes they're probably taking her to the shipping docks. Jacob also runs into KC, who refuses to explain much about who they really are besides saying their name is “just a name.” Then Abby shows up, and Jacob is basically like, “I think fate brought us together.” Kat and Elliot track the Auggie boys to the docks and see them loading Tessa onto a ship while saying, “Capone is gonna love this.” Alice tells Max she doesn't want to leave, and he completely freaks out on her. Jacob finally tells Del that he's staying. And then, at the very end, Kat rushes in to stop the Auggie boys…only to discover that Tessa is actually the ringleader. Elliot runs up yelling, “Mom!” and Tessa immediately makes sure he gets knocked out. Watch the show on Youtube - www.deckthehallmark.com/youtubeInterested in advertising on the show?

ABOUT TRUE JUSTICE 2: EYE FOR AN EYE Amateur sleuths tackle a fresh challenge at a local school, diving into the fierce world of parent politics. Their investigation uncovers hidden agendas and unexpected alliances as they navigate the complex web within the community. AIR DATE & NETWORK FOR TRUE JUSTICE 2: EYE FOR AN EYE May 23, 2026 | Hallmark Channel CAST & CREW OF TRUE JUSTICE 2: EYE FOR AN EYE Katherine McNamara as Casey Barlowe Markian Tarasiuk as Eli Flint Marisa McIntyre as Sarah Sharpe Alexander Nunez as Liam Anderson Benjamin Ayres as D.A. Quinn Nikki DeLoach as Professor Ambrose Director: Lisa Soper Writers: Nikki DeLoach, Megan McNulty BRAN'S TRUE JUSTICE 2: EYE FOR AN EYE SYNOPSIS We see a woman out in the woods and then discover there's a dead body frozen in the snow. Cut to our favorite amateur sleuths, who are discussing the case. Liam tells them what he knows so far: a dog found the frozen body while out in the woods with its owners. The victim's name was Katherine, and she was very well known in her community and part of an influential school board. A woman named Sharon was arrested for the murder, but her husband believes she was wrongfully convicted. Meanwhile, in class, they're learning about the law of retaliation. I'm sure that won't become relevant at all. The team starts reviewing police interviews with other school board members and quickly realizes basically everyone hated Sharon. So they go talk to her, and she explains that the board members were nothing more than high school bullies — especially the board president, Katherine. Sharon had even threatened to sue Katherine for emotional distress shortly before Katherine was found dead. Naturally, the gang decides to take the case. They eventually uncover enough evidence to convince a judge to reopen the investigation. From there, the crew keeps digging — tracking down DNA evidence, getting jumped from behind, climbing into wells…you know, all the stuff the police probably should've already done. Eventually, they piece it all together: the head of the school board had sent her husband to confront Sharon and tell her to stop accusing their child of bullying Sharon's kid. One thing led to another, and he ended up killing Katherine. Then the board president arrived and helped cover it all up. Honestly, she confesses pretty quickly once they corner her. At the inevitable “we caught a murderer” celebration party, Casey and Eli have a moment and almost kissssss! But of course, Benjamin Ayres interrupts the vibe with a toast to the justice warriors.

ABOUT COUPLES WEEKEND Four adults navigate deception and desire when a fallen tree on New Year's Eve triggers a chain of events that challenges their relationships and the lies they tell themselves and each other. AIR DATE & NETWORK FOR COUPLES WEEKEND June 8, 2025 | Festivals CAST & CREW OF COUPLES WEEKEND Alexandra Daddario as Debs Daveed Diggs as Josh Josh Gad as Mitch Ashley Park as Melanie BRAN'S COUPLES WEEKEND SYNOPSIS We meet Mitch and Melanie, along with their friends Debs and Josh. They're gathering for a little New Year's getaway at a cabin in the woods. Debs and Mitch, by the way, are also lifelong friends. The next morning, Mitch and Debs wake up early and head out for a hike, but a falling tree cuts the trip short. When they get back to the cabin, though, they see Melanie and Josh hooking up through the window. Debs wants to confront them immediately, but Mitch says no — let's take some time to process this first. So they go inside and pretend nothing happened, which is much easier for Mitch than it is for Debs. Eventually, Debs confronts Josh about lying over something unrelated, and Melanie blurts out, “THEN WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL THEM THE TRUTH ABOUT US?!” Mitch can't handle it and tries to leave…except they're snowed in. The couples split off to talk things through and hopefully get some clarity. Everyone has very different perspectives on what happened and why. At one point, Mitch finds a bottle of mysterious liquor. After taking a drink, he enters this magical state of clarity. He kisses Debs and is like, “Maybe we should be together.” She's like, “…Nah, dog.” Meanwhile, Josh and Melanie argue over who actually initiated the affair in the first place. Mitch calls his boss to quit his job, then starts dancing alone in the living room until Josh walks in. Mitch offers him some of the mystery drink, and after taking a sip, Josh joins him in the same euphoric state. Melanie eventually drinks some too, and finally, as midnight arrives on New Year's Eve, a reluctant Debs takes a drink as well. They all party together, and Debs ends up kissing Mitch. As the night goes on, they all start confessing deep, dark secrets. Josh admits he doesn't even like himself. He also tells Debs that her first novel isn't bad — it's just not honest, something Debs realizes is true. Melanie admits to Mitch that she doesn't feel like they really know each other anymore, and also reveals that someone else actually wrote her cookbook. Josh says he still doesn't believe Mitch about the fallen tree, so the four of them head out into the woods to find it. They do — and end up watching the sunrise together. By the end of it all, Debs and Josh decide to try to work things out, while Mitch and Melanie choose to separate. Debs gives Mitch a copy of her new manuscript to read. Debs and Josh drive off together, Melanie leaves to stay with her parents, and Mitch decides to remain at the cabin for a while.

Suddenly, there's another knock at the door. It's Julian with wine. Del is like, “How about you pour me a glass and I'll tell you what's going on?” Alice is trying to snag the almanac when Cliff comes in and is like, “…What are you doing in my house?” Del tells the fellas to scram so she can talk to ghost Colton. She's like, “You're not real.” He responds, “Feels pretty real to me.” Kat tells Nick to keep the Auggie boys occupied while she goes looking for Fern. She goes to the paper and doesn't find Fern, but she does find a copy of Alice in Wonderland, inscribed “To Fern, from Auntie Coop.” Could it be Fern Cooper? Grayson is there, though, and thinks they should get to know each other more since it seems like Fern trusts her.

Elliot sees his mom tuck a couple of Evelyn's tarot cards into her dress before heading inside. Then his dad shows up, and Elliot overhears him talking about how much he hopes he can be a father someday. Kat and Nick go to the hideout the Auggie boys told Nick about. They overhear that Grayson sent Fern away and that Coop better not show herself around there again. Alice goes to check on Del and sees how heartbroken she is without Jacob, so she tries calling him. Kat and Nick run when the Auggie boys spot them. As they head toward the pond, they finally come across Fern. Kat confronts her about Auntie Coop, and Fern is like, “It's finally happened. You asked the right questions. She told me this day would come.” They ask what happened to Coop, but before she can explain much, the Auggie boys show up again. They make a run for the pond, and for a second it looks like Nick is going to get stuck in the '20s — but he barely makes it back. Alice checks on Del again, but she won't wake up. Suddenly, Jacob shows up, and Del finally wakes when she realizes he's calling to her while dream-Colton tells her she has to go. Kat arrives home, and they all celebrate being back together as a family.

That night on Christmas Eve, Ebony falls asleep and is awakened by her Aunt Pooch, who warns her that she'll be visited by three ghosts. Ebony is not impressed. First up is the Ghost of Christmas Past, who shows Ebony her childhood. Growing up, her family never had much money, which made Christmas hard for her to enjoy. Her parents worked really hard to make the holidays feel special, but young Ebony could never really appreciate it. Then the Ghost of Christmas Present arrives…and he's hot.

Rebecca begins to suspect that Mr. Maxwell is up to no good. He goes to leave one night and Rebecca decides to follow him. Naturally, Tom is like oh I'm so in. Doyal brings a good bit of gold into Hattie's to cash out. Naturally she becomes a bit suspicious of him. Perhaps he's the gold thief. Tom and Rebecca track Mr. Maxwell into the woods and find this weird dirty area that it appears he's using to mark something. BUT WHAT?!

The next day, Rebecca once again goes into Mr. Maxwell's room and starts snooping through his bag. When he gets back, she asks him to open his bag. There's a ton of rocks in there, but nothing stolen. She's like well you're not looking for gold, what are you looking for? He tells her coal. Alexander and Tom go to look for the guy that was caught trying to steal gold from one of the prospectors. They stop him - it's Jeremiah, one of the guys who left working with Tom to prospect. He was selling stuff and sending that money to his fiancée. He's also sold Rebecca's ring. So Tom goes to try to get it back. It's party time! Tom and Alexander show up with the good and bad news. They're all shocked. Tom tells them all that Jeremiah is going to work for him and they'll all get their money back from his wages. Alexander then returns Rebecca's ring that they were able to retrieve. Tom told him not to tell her that it was him that paid to get it back. Alexander and Olivia dance together just as Clayton walks in. She tells Alexander about the school. He tells her that she has to go. Clayton comes to cut in. She tells him and he's like you can't go. But if you do, please come back. Rebecca finds out that Tom is no longer buying that land. Apparently he's a little short on cash. Doyal tells Tom that he bought the land. He's bummed. So Rebecca goes to dance with him. She asks if he gave up the land for her. She tells him that she's gonna hold onto it for a little while longer and then eventually pass it on to Sarah. He tells her to let it go when she's ready. The episode ends with another mountie coming into the party. He tells Alexander that he's here to arrest Rebecca, for being a thief.

It was the only way to protect her from the Augustine boys. For some reason, they have it out for her. Kat says well you know they're working for your fiancé Grayson. Fern doesn't believe that. Kat jumps in the pond, both of them upset with each other. Kat gets home and while talking with Elliot and Alice while looking at the bullet.

The demon claims it will only occur when his crown is reunited with the Eternal Flame. Thor is like ok cool, then he breaks free, defeats the demon, and takes the crown, convinced he's just saved Asgard from its fate. Back home, things are… off. Idris Elba is missing, and “Odin” is acting suspiciously theatrical, literally have plays put on about the story of Thor and Loki and Asgard. Shocker, it's actually Loki in disguise. Thor forces Loki to come clean, and with help from Doctor Strange, they track down the real Odin in Norway.  There, Odin reveals the truth: he's dying, and his passing will unleash Hela, his long-hidden firstborn daughter. Once the ruthless leader of Asgard's armies, Hela was erased from history when her hunger for power became too much—even for Odin. Odin dies. Hela arrives. And within minutes, she destorys thor's hammer like it's nothing. Loki is like UH OH BRING US BACK which opens the portal to get them home. But Hela hops in and  knocks them out of the portal into space. She returns to Asgard, quickly conquers it, kills people, and does alot of bad stuff.   Meanwhile, Thor crash-lands on Sakaar—a chaotic junk planet ruled by the eccentric Grandmaster. Captured and enslaved by a scrapper known as 142 (who actually used to be Valkyrie), Thor is forced into gladiator combat… where he comes face-to-face with none other than Hulk. Thor nearly wins using newfound lightning powers, but the Grandmaster rigs the fight, keeping Hulk his champion. Still in jail, Thor tries to rally Hulk and Valkyrie to help save Asgard, but neither is interested—until a series of events, including a recording from Natasha Romanoff, brings Bruce Banner back. Valkyrie finally agrees to help, and with Loki involved, they steal a ship, spark a gladiator uprising and make their escape. Back on Asgard, Hela's forces are closing in on the remaining citizens. It's not looking good.. Thor shows up to confronts Hela but realizes the truth: she's too powerful to defeat. After losing his eye in battle, Thor has a vision of Odin that changes everything—Ragnarök isn't something to prevent… it's the only way to stop Hela. Thor makes sure to fulfill the prophecy—destroying Asgard and killing Hela in the process. With their home gone but their people alive, Thor—now king—leads the Asgardians aboard a stolen ship, finally reconciling with Loki and setting a course for Earth… only to be interrupted by a massive, looming spacecraft waiting in their path.

We're back with some more Gilmore Girls! Join us in this journey on social media - @gilmorethemerrierpod. ABOUT: GILMORE GIRLS (SEASON 2 EPISODE 2) Lorelai hesitates to tell her parents about her engagement to Max, despite Rory's urging. Rory and Dean have a spat over Rory's plans for extracurricular activities. AIR DATE & NETWORK FOR: GILMORE GIRLS (SEASON 2 EPISODE 2) October 9, 2001 | The WB CAST & CREW OF: GILMORE GIRLS (SEASON 2 EPISODE 2) Lauren Graham as Lorelai Gilmore Alexis Bledel as Rory Gilmore BRAN'S GILMORE GIRLS (SEASON 2 EPISODE 2) SYNOPSIS Lorelai has officially entered wedding planning mode. She tells Rory she went dress shopping the day before…and it was AWFUL. Rory is like, “Great, we're going right now!” At Chilton, Paris is signing up for summer school, extra classes, extracurriculars — the whole thing. Rory walks up, but Paris is still mad about the Tristan situation. She tells Rory she better not show up at the charity home-building event tomorrow. Rory's like, “Oh, I'll be there.” Remember Henry, the guy Lane hit it off with at the party? He tells Rory he tried calling, but Mrs. Kim scared him off. So he gives Rory his number to pass along. Friday night dinner time. Rory reminds Lorelai she needs to tell Emily and Richard about the engagement. Lorelai's like, “I will soon, okay?!” Richard pulls Rory aside and apologizes for how he treated Dean. He says he wanted to do it in person. Rory forgives him, and they hug. Progress! Meanwhile, Lorelai is alone with Emily and decides to finally tell her about the engagement. Emily's response? “That's nice. I hope I'm in town.” Lorelai is…not thrilled. The next day, Rory heads to the house-building charity event. She shows up with a pink, fluffy hammer (not ideal), and the guy in charge is basically like, “Good luck.” Paris immediately claims a wall and tells Rory to find somewhere else. She reveals she's been volunteering for years — it's all part of her Harvard plan. Rory realizes…she is WAY behind on extracurriculars. Uh oh. Rory vents to Dean, spiraling about how she can't relax this summer — she has to catch up. Dean is not loving this. He just wants to spend time together and is like, “Is that too much to ask?” Lorelai feels bad seeing Rory so stressed, which kind of ruins her date with Max. Max talks about how supportive his parents are, and Lorelai is like…must be nice. He tries to get her to think about things rationally, but instead she decides to bring him to meet her parents. Bold choice. This leads to a big fight with Emily. Lorelai finally lets it out: “Why don't you care? You've never cared, and it hurts.” Emily fires back that she found out about the engagement from a stranger instead of her own daughter. The next day at work, Lorelai realizes it was Sookie who told Emily while planning an engagement party. Everything clicks. At the party, Lorelai is actually having a great time — even though Max is about to leave for Toronto for a while. Dean finds Rory, and they make up. Meanwhile, Lorelai notices Luke isn't there, so she goes to the diner. He gives a weird excuse about being busy “working”…on ketchup. She tells him she really wants him there — it's an important night. When Luke finally shows up, he sees Lorelai slow dancing with Max. They spot each other and just…wave. Oof. The episode ends with Lorelai going to Emily for advice about veils. She apologizes for not telling her sooner and admits they don't communicate well. She explains she was scared of how Emily would react. Emily softens…just a little. Then tells her her head is too big for a veil and she should wear a tiara — like she did.

This is also when she finds out that he is the son of the Derby folks, the Reeds, and she's not pleased. We find out that that couple at the beginning of the movie was Ash's great-uncle and Sadie's great-grandma. Apparently they were in love. But his dad wouldn't let him marry her. The flowers mysteriously end up on Sadie's doorstep and the event is a big success. She ends up going out with Ash again but they get in an argument - apparently his family thinks that her great-grandmother kept the jewelry. Her family says they gave it back. It's a whole thing. But no time to wallow. She finds out that the roses for the Derby's blanket of roses are stuck in South America. So she posts a video on social media asking for the community to all bring their roses. And it works! The roses come flying in. Big success! She also finds a letter that tells her where the necklace is and she brings it to Ash to have him put it on her. And they kiss BIG HONKEN ONES! KISS OF THE YEAR CONTENDER! It's Derby day! He tells his dad he's willing to come back if he can run the charity that finds homes for old Derby horses. Her best friend wins the Derby. And then his dad says they are going to source the roses locally moving forward and they want her to do it first. They celebrate with another kiss.

Flowers everywhere. Life is good. Rory is talking to Lorelai about where she should get married…which Lorelai very much does not want to talk about, considering she hasn't even decided if she's going to say yes yet. Rory heads over to talk to Lane, who has bad news: her parents bought her a one-way ticket to Korea for the summer. Yikes. Lorelai goes to buy a newspaper and spots a bunch of wedding magazines. She ends up grabbing one, which feels like a BIG sign. Miss Patty immediately clocks it and asks if she's told Luke. Lorelai says no, but she's about to — and insists it's not a big deal because they're just friends. Naturally, the entire town follows her to Luke's to watch through the window. Luke handles it well at first…until he doesn't. He starts rapid-fire questioning her: Where will you live? Will you have kids? Will you keep working after you're married? Lorelai is not loving this interrogation. Friday night dinner time. When they arrive, Emily is unusually chipper — Rory finished in the top 3%! Everyone already knew, which kind of kills the moment, but they celebrate anyway. During dinner, Lorelai starts fidgeting with the ring and even moves it to her ring finger. This sends her spiraling enough to call Max and try to talk through all the questions Luke brought up. Max asks if these questions mean she's saying yes… She comes back to the table, smiles at Rory — and Rory instantly knows what that means. Emily and Richard are completely in the dark. Surely she'll tell them now, right? …Nope. The next day, Lorelai tells Sookie, who is THRILLED — like, emotional tears thrilled. Jackson sees Sookie's reaction and immediately panics about what this all means. Later that night, Dean shows up — surprise! He and Rory are back together, and they kiss. Since they're official again, Rory invites him to meet her grandparents at a celebratory dinner. It goes…poorly. Richard is not impressed. He grills Dean hard — college plans, grades, career goals — and gives him a whole speech about how special Rory is. Rory defends Dean, and the dinner ends abruptly. Back home, Lorelai explains to Rory that it wasn't really about Dean — it's about the pressure her parents put on Rory. She's everything they hoped Lorelai would be, and seeing Dean triggers all of that. Lorelai asks Rory to cut them a little slack. Meanwhile, back at Emily and Richard's, Richard is still fuming — until the phone rings. It's Sookie, calling about an engagement party for Lorelai and Max. And that's how Emily finds out her daughter is engaged. She storms into Richard's office and demands he apologize to Rory. He's confused — why? Emily explains: if they want Rory to trust them with big news someday, they need to fix this now.

She's kinda freaking out over the curtains and Hattie checks on her. Rebecca explains she's trying to stay busy because Jim's birthday is coming up - his first birthday since his passing. Clayton brings in the new table and it's real nice. Alexander shows up and asks if his room is ready yet. She says no but he's like I'll just take it as is. He asks Olivia if she missed him and she says they always do. Rebecca reluctantly agrees to let him stay in the unfinished room. Hattie notices that Sarah is uncomfortable with the mountie around and she says she just didn't know a policeman was going to be staying there. Alexander tells Rebecca he wants to make the boarding house his base of operations. He promises he'll keep things tidy and pay her an additional $2 a month. But she needs to sign a contract. He says he promises that he's here to protect, not bring danger to their door. She finds Tom out there trying to break a horse and they have some flirty flirty fun times. But there's an issue - Doyal has dammed Tom's stream while prospecting and it's caused Tom's farm to flood. So Tom applies for a land patent to keep Doyal from prospecting his land. But what he doesn't know is that Doyal also applied. It's going to be up to Alexander to figure out what's what. Late one night, Rebecca goes to look at a picture of her husband. She's real sad. The next day, finally some good news. The furniture for the boarding house is here! Despite not having all the money she needs to pay for it, the trading guy says he knows she's good for it. Ned's dad finally finds some gold. He's happy about that. But is disappointed to find out it's only worth $10. Rebecca is getting a little lightheaded while working and ends up fainting. Luckily Tom is there to catch her as she falls. He brings her inside and she finally comes to. She says she just stood up too fast. Alexander tells Tom he's going to hold an emergency hearing to deal with the land dispute. Olivia goes to check on Sarah. She says they said my dad would be ok too but he never got better. She is worried about her momma and really misses her pa. Rebecca and Sarah have a heart to heart about Jim and take turns sharing memories of him. Ned's parents decide they need to try their luck somewhere else and head out to move. Tom shows up for the meeting and brings other town members who are worried about losing their lands to the prospectors. Doyal shows up and brings a crew of his own. Alexander allows each of them to make a statement as to why they deserve the land. Tom explains that he's been working this land for 3.5 years. It's his. Doyal's daughter explains that the law is that the first person who has worked the land and files an application gets the land. That's the law. Alexander decides that the law is clear - the first to file gets the land. Doyal did it first. However, in a world of right & wrong, uphold what is right. Tom has been working the land for years before the prospectors arrived. The law is for land that hasn't already been claimed, not in a situation where the land has already been claimed. Tom gets the land but Doyal is able to cross it to get to other streams. Doyal is not pleased and says he's going to take it up to Alexander's superiors. Ned's parents come to say goodbye to Rebecca. She says wait...you can stay here for free if you run my mess tent. They agree to stay. The episode ends with Rebecca and Sarah planting an apple seed in honor of Jim. While in Chicago, we see someone who I assume is Jim's mom seeing a drawing of Rebecca and Sarah in the paper.

She takes Alice to the house and Alice is like...why am I here? Fern is like I have no idea but it's time for my nap. In the '20s, Fern says she's never time traveled.

He just laughs and says that's a new one. Alice finds Colton and sings him a song that she's been working on. Colton is like the song was nice but it wasn't from your heart. Alice says she is afraid to bare her soul in a song. Kat and Fern end up back at the pond. Fern says I think the pond brought you here to give you a heck of a good time. She asks Fern to keep her ear to the ground on a Tessa Augustine, or maybe her maiden name Tessa Cooper. She comes back and tells Del about her time with Fern.
