Widow's Bay

Rescue station one. This is Sheriff Clemmons.

All available fire and rescue to Patricia's Cocktails.

I don't know what the fuck is going on!

Every time.

Patricia.

You said I should stop by?

Of course. Yeah, of course, come on in.

Should I open this bottle?

Yeah. We're all drinking white, but if you want to, feel free.

- Cool. - Just in the kitchen.

He snores when he's laying on his back. He snores when he's on his side.

I swear to God, if he doesn't stop snoring, I'm just…

I'm gonna smother him with a pillow.

My dad snored so loud my mom made him sleep on the couch,

and you could still hear him…

- My ex was the worst snorer. - …all the way up...

And I'm telling you, it was the worst.

Not just the smell, and it smelled pretty bad…

Oh, please don't open that.

Here. Here it is.

- I think it's clean. - Thank you.

I don't think we've met.

I just moved here a few months ago from Portsmouth. I'm Shelby.

- Patricia. - Hi.

Lenore's the only person I know here,

hence the reason I'm already on my third glass of wine.

What about you? Who do you know?

I graduated with most of them,

but I'm usually pretty busy,

so I don't often make it to these things.

Can I ask you about it?

What?

The girls that died here.

You… You must have all gone to school together.

Did I know them?

Yeah.

I was almost one of them.

No.

Yeah.

And what happened? I'm sor…

I shouldn't be asking you that. I mean, it must be so hard to talk about.

It started with the calls…

weird breathing and hang-ups, and then one night I was alone.

Oh, my God. Did he come to your house?

The Boogeyman?

Holy shit.

I heard someone downstairs and I just knew...

- Your gut instinct. - Yeah. Exa… That's right.

And I just thought, is this when I...

Excuse me.

- Oh, I'm sorry. - Oh, no. Oh, it's fine.

Oh, no, I… It looks like she really got ya.

- Oh, yeah. - Shoot.

All right, well…

I'm gonna run to the bathroom real quick, but then

- I have questions for you. - Yeah, okay.

Yeah.

Okay.

We've all heard it a few times. I mean, how many times can you lie?

You know, they even checked the phone records

- and they proved she never got the calls. - That's right.

Twenty-five years she's been telling that story.

She'll tell anyone who will listen. It's honestly so pathetic.

- Crazy. - She's, like, on another level.

- I know. - She is certifiable.

- You're so right, Kris. - She's nuts. Yes.

It was the first thing she did

when she got here.

Do you think you could grab a picture of us?

Yeah. Sure.

- Great. - All right.

Come on, ladies. Everybody get together.

Yeah. Back there. Come on.

Get my best side.

- All my friends together. - Oh, yes.

Say wine and cheese.

There we go.

- Well… - You see, we only have, like, two.

- I know. - That's a good one.

- Later on. - Later.

"What don't you love about yourself?"

I care too much

what other people think.

"Feeling like you could die tomorrow and no one would notice?

Well, that could be.

But the right party can change that."

"The perfect hostess exudes confidence,

effortless and elegant."

"Elegant."

"Suddenly, everyone knows you as someone who throws great parties.

All it takes is one to change people's minds.

All it takes is one great party to change your life."

Rosemary, here are the supplies.

And Dale, you're gonna need a turntable 'cause you're gonna DJ.

I've never done that before.

Oh, you're gonna have them all dancing.

There won't be a single moment of silence.

Each song will blend seamlessly to the next.

Everyone's gonna talk about that night they danced at Sunset Cocktails

and that is all gonna be down to you.

Okay, maybe you should hire someone.

You'll be fine.

Okay, so we're gonna put the floral arrangements up here.

I want that to be the first thing people see,

and we're gonna need to move some tables out of here for the dance floor,

or do you think that'll make it look too big?

I don't know.

Okay. Well, what's next?

I got catering, which I'm thinking about kind of…

- Totally my fault. - Yeah, I'm starving.

All right. Me too.

We were thinking about… Well, let's get some oysters.

- This is cute. - Thank you.

And I know you like shrimp cocktails,

- so we could get a bit of everything. - Yeah, shrimp is good.

I don't know, we could all get soup if we want.

I'll probably get a burger.

Hello.

So I'm not sure if you heard,

but I'm throwing a party here tomorrow night.

Do you mean the municipal event?

Yeah, Kris, the city's sponsoring it, but I'm the chair and it's my party,

so you're more than welcome to come.

But I'd RSVP 'cause space is pretty limited

and we're expecting a lot of people.

Everybody's going to Bill Rooney's birthday at the Elks Lodge tomorrow.

Oh, Bill's having a party?

Well, that's actually a relief 'cause, what with all the tourists,

I was worried that we'd have to turn people away at the doors.

Oh, I think you'll be okay.

Enjoy your lunch.

- Thanks. - Yeah.

No one is going to that.

Seriously.

I mean, there were probably 800 songs on that list.

It's like she wrote down every song she's ever heard in her life.

And then she...

Where are we with RSVPs for Sunset Cocktails?

Zero people.

Why'd you even hand me this? Just say no one's RSVP'd.

I didn't want to.

The Elks Lodge isn't permitted to have more than 30 nonmembers at a time.

Call Glen. Tell him Bill Rooney's big birthday tonight is canceled,

unless he wants me to unleash hell on their little club

when their liquor license is up for renewal.

Okay, Loftis. Let's waste my time.

Mayor called to see if you found that old lady yet.

Driscoll, do you think I'm here for my own entertainment?

I mean, it's not like I'm back here watching Footloose.

Copy that.

What the hell?

Listen. I'm…

I'm a little worried you're putting too much into this thing.

I…

I didn't even understand half the stuff on that supply list.

And might I suggest a different headpiece?

Rosemary, I don't need your negativity right now.

Just be supportive.

I can't do anything right today.

Check, check, one, two.

Check, check, check, check one, two.

Check, check, check one, two.

Check, check, check, check one, two.

Check, check, check one, two.

Check, check...

It started 15 minutes ago. Why are you still saying, "check"?

It's a surprisingly complicated system.

- This is death, Dale. - Okay, I'm gonna try something...

Hi there! Are you two visiting from out of town?

- Yeah. - Great! We're just getting started.

Okay, cool.

- We'll circle back. - No! Come, have a drink.
