- Buon compleanno Maggie
E1Buon compleanno MaggieAlla vigilia del compleanno dei trent'anni, Maggie decide di celebrare l'importante traguardo da sola, riflettendo sulla propria vita e scrivendo delle lettere alle persone del proprio passato per poi affidarle alla corrente del fiume, secondo una tradizione indiana suggeritale da Ed. Invece di alleggerirsi l'anima, si ritrova a vaneggiare per la febbre (causata da un'appendicite) e vedere i defunti compagni Rick, Bruce, David, Glen... e perfino Steve, con cui era uscita un'unica volta e che è morto colpito da un fulmine, che le rinfacciano tutti i suoi difetti. Chris riceve per posta la propria laurea in ingegneria e può mettere alla prova la sua capacità di insegnamento aiutando Marilyn a prendere la patente di guida, un piccolo impegno nel quale il dj radiofonico dimostra un entusiasmo del tutto sproporzionato. Maurice si dedica alla stesura della propria autobiografia, con l'irritazione dei concittadini costretti a sentirsi raccontare aneddoti più o meno intessanti. - Sole di mezzanotte

Maurice, colpito dall'effetto su Joel di quel particolare periodo di luce ininterrotta, ha l'idea di trasformare Cicely in una stazione termale in cui "vendere la luce del sole" ai depressi delle grandi città americane, ma l'abbandona vedendo come si riduce alla fine il medico newyorkese. A Cicely arriva per una delle sue periodiche visite il venditore ambulante di abbigliamento Gillis Toomey, che propone a Ruth-Anne di sposarlo. - Nessuno è perfetto

Maurice acquista un prezioso orologio antico, che gli viene portato a Cicely da un insolito restauratore, il giovane metallaro tedesco Rolf. Quando scopre che l'orologio va avanti e a detta di Rolf non è possibile farci niente, Maurice se la prende con il giovane tecnico, per poi accettare infine l'idea che non vada ricercata la perfezione. Rolf fa amicizia con Ed e gli ripara la cinepresa, consentendogli di ricominciare la sua attività di regista dilettante. - A ciascuno il suo idolo

Il dj fatica a trovare il modo per rendere adeguatamente omaggio ad una persona che è stata così importante per la sua vita, non si accontenta di una semplice sepoltura e alla fine, dopo aver rinunciato all'idea di un funerale alla vichinga, ricorre nuovamente alla sua catapulta, gettando il corpo nel fiume.
