Winter in Paradise

On the evening after the helicopter crash, Huck and Ayers prepare to tell Maia that her mother, Rosie, has died. Huck reflects on the losses he has endured and recalls his grandfather’s motto—that hard things are hard—to steel himself. When Maia returns home, Huck and Ayers gently tell her that her mother was in a helicopter crash and did not survive. Maia breaks down, and Ayers comforts her. Once calm, Maia asks if her father is dead as well, revealing that she not only knew Russ was with her mother, but also that he was her biological father. Huck confirms he is. Maia declares she is an orphan, but Huck and Ayers reassure her that they are her family.

At the villa, Irene takes a sedative to sleep. While she rests, Cash shows Baker the photograph he found of their father with a West Indian woman, and the brothers realize their father had a secret life. They decide to attend Rosie’s memorial reception at a bar called Chester’s Getaway to learn more. At the reception, Baker meets Ayers and is instantly captivated by her. He doesn’t correct her when she assumes he’s on vacation, but confesses his wife is leaving him for her colleague, Louisa.
