Say whaaa?? Finley got into her dream school, but is secretly turning it down so that she can go to the U w/Colin! Uh oh...I can see why she got nervous when Mrs. Jackson ran into her & her Mom outside the graduation ceremony. Hearing Finley talk about Colin & how their friendship turned into something else was sweet, but I'm still curious to learn more about Finley. I learned a lot about Colin -- What about Finley!?

Her mom has always been distant, a mystery; this, in some ways, has been a comfort to her. As Finley uncovers more truths about her Mom, that comfort is no longer there. "Another side of knowing a person, it turns out, can be knowing too much."

The house cleanup was full of surprises. Finley found a dollhouse replica of the family home, built by her grandfather, “Judge,” for her Mom. But the real shift happened when Finley finally confronted her Mom about the medical documents she found. A squirrel attack cut the tension short, leaving the breast cancer secret hanging in the air. Meanwhile, Anne thinks Finley’s breakup is just a “test.” I hope she’s wrong!

Finley was finally in a flow at the diner thanks to Lana’s assistance. She also realized that she hadn’t thought about Colin breaking up w/her or her Mom’s health. But the peace was cut short. A phone call from her Mom shattered the distraction, bringing every hidden thought back to the surface of her mind instantly. It’s a harsh reminder that no matter how hard she works, she can’t outrun the truth. Back to reality.

Kasey makes a business deal w/Cardoon, the Asst. Mgr. at Tides, because their kitchen is under renovation. Tides coordinated shuttle services to take hungry guests to the Egg. Only problem–the Egg is severely understaffed & more shuttles were beginning to arrive. Guests were becoming angry & Finley noticed the panic on Kasey’s face, so she began to take phone orders. This was the eggxact distraction Finley needed!

What a jerk. 24 hrs haven't even passed & he's already posted a photo of himself w/another girl!? Did he meet this girl on vacation? Or was he cheating on Finley? Does she really look like Finley? & Lana! Why is she avoiding going home? What has Kasey been helping her w/? &Finley's Mom…breast cancer? What stage is she? Does anyone else know? Is it just me, or is Finley a lot more observant minus Colin? Good riddance.

Finley had breakfast at The Egg & noticed the mystery girl working there as a waitress & the cute boy working in the kitchen. 🍳 Back at the cabin, tension is rising as Aunt Kasey & Finley’s Mom, Catherine, argue over sentimental keepsakes when Catherine lets something slip. It’s clear they’re hiding a family secret about the cabins past…🤫 What is the real story behind this place? What is Cat hiding?

Finley has realized her relationship with Colin may not be as secure as she once thought. Finley & her Mom were forced to stay at the lake house because the Water Festival happening this week & the Tides Hotel having renovations. Finley is happy to report that one day is down on this vacation with her mom, when some mysterious girl lets herself in and falls asleep on the living room couch at 2 am. Huh?...
