EPISODE ONE (1/23/10)

Meet the denizens of Sunnyville.

Flirty Jenny (Cecily Jenkins) and her uptight librarian
sister Arlene (Lisa Anne Nicolai) wait for the bus.

Mike (Peter Alton) is part of a story that's not
nice to tell, about a secret that ain't fair to keep.

Mike walks out on his family - his wife
Annie (Elizabeth Bennett) and son Tiller (Josh Brener).

All Mike's left his son is a broken flower
he stepped on on his way out.

So Till goes to the Library, where all the learning is kept, to find
out how to fix his flower.  Arlene is sad that the flower's not for her,
but she gives Til a book of poems about finding things you've lost.

Leslie (Rafeal Clements) runs Leslie's Movie House.
He doesn't know much about movies, but he keeps the place running.

Jack (Christopher Goodson) believes he's the saddest man in the world.
He's come to town looking for Annie.

Annie is cheered when she finds a flower in Till's book.
"Who would put a flower in a library book?" asks Tiller.
"I would," she replies.

EPISODE TWO (1/30/10)

The only thing Jenny likes more
than boys... is drama about boys.

Jenny's date with Carl (Jeremy Shranko)
starts fireworks of the wrong kind... at first.

Unlike her sister, Arlene often spends whole days alone.

Arlene tells Till that the book with the flower was
last checked out by Jack Honeycutt... fourteen years ago.
"That's how old I am!" exclaims Till.

Annie remembers the night she picked that flower, fourteen years ago.

Memories can be sweet... but sometimes you remember too much.

When Mike learns that Jack's back in town, he's not happy.
The last time he saw that man, it wasn't pretty... and he
had no reason to think the next time wouldn't be the same.

On the outside, small towns are quiet, but on the
inside... on the inside, things are about to change.

EPISODE TWO (5/22/10) - PLAYOFFS WEEK ONE! (WILD CARD WEEK)

There comes a time when choices have to be made.  There's a
fork in road, and you need to pick a direction... but which one?

Will love forever be something that other people feel?
Will you only see happiness in the laughing eyes of your
sister?  Or will you grab happiness by the collar and kiss it hard?

Will you quit being a father just because you quit being a husband?
Or will you take care of your boy the way you wish your father did you?

And will you stay in this small town, knowing the
sadness that you're bringing, or will you be on your way...
the saddest man in the whole wide world?

Carl: "I don't think this is right."  Arlene: "I'm not talkin' about what's right."
Carl: "Jenny would kill us."  Arlene: "Just let her try."

Jack won't until he talks to Annie.  Mike wants Jack to leave on account of what Mike did to her.
"What I did to her? Now, which do you mean?  Makin' her fall in love with me? Or havin' my baby?"

These two boys were at an impasse.  But no matter what they did,
one thing was for certain... one of them was going to die.
