If It Makes You Happy

Michelle pulls back from the Burke girls and stops babysitting Brittany. In the meantime, she reaches out to her Seattle job, but they don’t give her more work. She and Cliff continue hanging out, but mostly at night after the girls are asleep. One night, Cliff comes over and they chat about Brittany. Her stitches are healing but she is still terrified of Rocket.

The next day, Emily comes to the inn after school. She is mad at Cliff for making her go to New York for Thanksgiving and whines about it to Michelle. Michelle encourages Emily but knows things have been difficult for everyone since Halloween.

At the bakery, Cliff is overwhelmed without childcare help. Carol is teasing him about Michelle when Michelle shows up at the door with Rocket. Michelle admits she has been thinking about what’s happened between them, and insists Cliff should start dating again. A confused Cliff says he’ll think about it.

Sara and Paulie come to town for the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday. Paulie expresses his pride in Michelle and implies that she should stay in Copper Run if she is happy.
