Upon Guys return home, relationships between the characters begin to unravel Beagles pent up emotions connect with Georgia Kaminski, a terminally ill teenage girl wanting to experience love before its too late Easys long time affair with Marg, Georgias eccentric grandmother, is finally exposed to the Kimbrough children and Guy discovers that, in his absence, his high school sweetheart, Stephanie, has moved on and started a family of her own.
