After landing on a gorgeous Tuesday in the Pacific Northwest, Jeremy describes the video of Edie practically pulling him through SEA-TAC's entire D terminal before finally hugging her newfound baby brother. With the three of them in Justin's kitchen, silences are displaced by the back and forth between a brother and sister finally bridging thousands of miles and decades of separation. Justin then shares a Christmas card John once created and mailed out. It features a photo of a mound of cocaine with a 1979 street value of around $250,000. We briefly meet Justin's wife, Cherish, shortly before bed after she flies in from Dallas.
Amid blooming cottonwoods creating a snow-globe effect, Justin takes his two guests hiking and sightseeing on a picture-perfect Wednesday in late May. Back in Renton, we meet Hadley, and Cherish's parents. On Thursday, Justin leads Edie and Jeremy around downtown Seattle, where they enjoy the Museum of Pop Culture's "Star Trek: Exploring New Worlds" exhibit.
