[Credits roll as scenes play in picture-within-picture window.]

[Cut to diner. Morning. Andy and Wendell sit in booth, across from Carl and Bright. Wendell, facing door, sees Nina smiling at cash register as she picks up takeout order. Rose turns around, smiling without seeing Wendell watching her and Nina.] 

WENDELL: That's the fourth day this week she's gotten extra lemon bars free.

BRIGHT (brow furrowed): Dude, you don't think - [Wendell smiles, shrugs.]

[Cut to living room. Daylight.]

AMY: If you want another one so bad, you go through the nine months! And the labor. And the 3 o'clock feedings. And the career detour. And … I go back to work.

LAYNIE: Fine! We've discussed all that. Now … who do we want to be the donor?

AMY: Well, if they're going to be siblings, don't you think they should both have the same father?

LAYNIE: Him again? Are you crazy?

AMY: Well, that leaves only one choice, doesn't it?

[Cut to that tavern where Everwoodians meet late at night, looking like Woody's … which it would anyway if they turned some lights on. Early evening. Football on TV, '80s music playing in background … and bear banners hanging from the rafters. Stuffed bears in leather vests strategically placed. It's bear night. Woof if you see anyone woofy. In Everwood. Besides Andy. Yeah, right.]

WENDELL (left hand around Andy's left shoulder, right hand patting front of Andy's right shoulder): You sure you're ready for this? It could be kind of …

ANDY: I met that crowd at Everlon, not here. This isn't their scene.

WENDELL: I know, but … these dudes can get pretty frisky later.

ANDY: We won't be here that … (Breaks into smile.) Wait, are you … jealous?

[Cut to office of social service agency. Ephram and Colin, looking earnest, sit in chairs facing caseworker's desk.]

CASEWORKER: There's a reason teenagers are hard to place. He's been bounced from foster home to foster home for years.

EPHRAM: We're aware of the responsibility. And the commitment.

CASEWORKER: It's not just that. He has emotional and behavioral disorders. He's been suspended from school and run away to Denver. Twice. And you know what happens to boys his age on the street.

COLIN: Does this boy have a name?

CASEWORKER (tartly): Yes. (Slides photo of blond boy with messy hair across desk and turns photo to face Colin.) Sam.

[Credits finish. Cut to Snowtime logo.]
