Rabbi Murphy and his wife Alice had heard from their daughter Yentl that Helen and Kayla would be heading out for Weehawken at around five in the morning. They decided to head out for New York City as soon as possible so they could personally say their goodbyes. Rabbi Murphy and Alice packed their bags and left for the bus station, arriving just in time to catch the first available bus to New York City. As they settled into their seats, they prayed that they would make it in time to catch the former hotel owners before their departure. As the bus pulled away, they watched the city skyline grow smaller and smaller in the distance. Despite their sadness, they were comforted by the knowledge that they were doing the right thing. They had made the journey to say goodbye one last time.

Rabbi Murphy couldn't help but sigh as he stared out the bus window. "Boy, it must've been tough for Helen and Kayla to sell the Brandenham Hotel, huh?"

Alice nodded. "I'm sure it was a hard decision, but from what I heard, they had no other choice. As sad as it is for them to leave, I'm sure they know they're making the right decision. Sometimes it's hard to accept change, but in the end it's often the best decision for everyone involved. I just hope they find what they're looking for in their new home."

Rabbi Murphy turned to look at his wife. "I'm sure it will all work out for them. It'll just be sad not to have them anymore."

Rabbi Murphy and Alice embraced each other, feeling the sadness of the moment. Their daughter's family had grown even closer with Helen and Kayla after Bitsy's death, so they could only imagine how hard it would be when it was time for the two wives to head off for Weehawken. They knew that they would probably still see them from time to time, but things would never be the same again.

Eventually, the bus had made its stop in New York City, and the rabbi and his wife hopped off and made their way down to the front of the former Brandenham Hotel where Helen and Kayla happened to be. Helen was astonished to see them, and the rabbi and his wife embraced her and Kayla warmly.

"Oh, wow," Helen could only say. "What are you two doing here?"

"Well," Alice began to speak. "Yentl told us that you would be leaving for Weehawken soon, so Kevin and I personally came down here to tell you two goodbye."

"Mrs. Goldman, I— thank you. You didn't need to do this. Just a phone call would've been nice, too."

Alice smiled and nodded. "I get it. We just wanted to come down here and show you how much we care about you, that's all."

"We'll really miss you," Rabbi Murphy added. "Well, as long as Alice and I are here, you mind if we tag along with you to Eric and Yentl's house?"

Kayla gave with a coy smile and shrugged. "I mean, I don't really see why not."

Soon enough, everyone had arrived at the Cartmans' house, fully aware that this would be the time Helen and Kayla would get to see everyone in person for a while. There was a sense of natsukashii present in the atmosphere, one that enveloped everything like a cluster of cobwebs. Not that anyone could help it, of course; but there was just something so bittersweet about this whole moment that Helen couldn't quite put her finger on. Everyone was eager to catch up, but no one wanted the moment to be over. They all knew that soon enough, this moment would come to an end, and they'd have to go their separate ways. For now, however, they were content to simply enjoy each other's presence and spend time together while they could.

"So..." Eileen began to speak. "I can't believe this is it. I can't believe this is the day you'll have to move away to Weehawken."

Helen sighed. "I know. Kayla and I are going to miss you so much."

Rabbi Cartman reached out to touch Helen's shoulder. "Us too. Rest assured, though... no matter what, we will be there when you cry for help." He smiled warmly. "We will always be here for you and Kayla. You are never alone, don't forget that."

Helen nodded, wiping away her tears. "I won't. Thank you."

"Hello?" Moisha cut in. "Can we cut to the chase already?"

"Moisha!" Yentl scolded her oldest son.

"No, no, it's okay." Helen cleared her throat. "He's got a point. We've kind of been spinning our wheels here. So. anyway, this is the part where we all say goodbye. Kayla and I need to hurry up anyway. We're supposed to leave in about fifteen minutes."

Everyone in the room exchanged glances. Helen and Kayla then proceeded to get up and leave the room, closing the door behind them as they did so. Everyone else in the room was silent, reflecting on what had been said. After a few moments, they all began to get up and start following the two women outside to send them off.

"Helen, Kayla, wait!" Rabbi Cartman yelled out to them.

The two women stopped in their tracks and turned around.

Rabbi Cartman looked them in the eye and said, "Mazel tov. I wish you all the best for your future."

The two women smiled and shared a three-way hug with him. They stayed that way for a while before they eventually got out of the entanglement. They all laughed, happy to have shared such a moment together. The rabbi then blessed them with a few words of wisdom before they parted ways. They said their goodbyes, each of them feeling a little lighter and a little more hopeful for the future.

Once Helen and Kayla had disappeared from view, Rabbi Cartman let out a deep sigh.

Yentl patted him on the back. "It's going to be okay, Eric. They'll be okay."

"I know," Rabbi Cartman conceded. "It's all in the Lord's hands now."
