Drama, War

Ed is delivering morning papers when he happens to peer in through the windows at Ruth-Anne's house. He spies Ruth-Anne and Walt sharing a breakfast kiss. He is so thunderstruck by his discovery that he can't keep the news to himself. He tells Eugene, his first customer when he opens the store by himself. Ruth-Anne appears somewhat later blaming her alarm clock for her late arrival. After a minute's thought, however, she tells Ed that she and Walt have been seeing each other. Her next statement requests Ed to keep this information to himself. Ed is feeling super guilty. By the time he can catch Eugene, it's too late - the cat is out of the bag. Ed wants to crawl in a hole. Shelly is on pins and needles about the upcoming baptism of Randi. A real Catholic priest is coming to Cicely to perform the ceremony. When he arrives, it does not take long for him to fit right in with the locals. Chris talks him into letting him be his assistant. He then takes him out to his still cabin where they arm wrestle and do shots. Shelly is traumatized by what appears to be irreverent behavior. Meanwhile, Maggie and Maurice welcome a truck to the community that has brought a kit for her to build a light aircraft. She is upset when Maurice pushes her aside to take over its assembly. She puts her foot down and boots him off the project. Now on her own, she begins to have feelings of self-doubt about her ability to carry through on the construction of the plane. She perseveres in getting it together and schedules an inspection from the FAA to certify it airworthiness. It passes. Joel steps forward and says he's like to take a ride in it. She gracefully declines, hops in, and takes off. The whole town gathers atop the cliff for the baptism ceremony. Father McKerry is garbed in shining vestments and properly reverent for the occasion. As the ceremony concludes, Maggie does a fly-by in her new plane.—Garon Smith
