EXT. DOCK – SUNSET JJ’s energetic dance draws cheers and laughter from the Pogues gathered near the bait shop. He finishes with a triumphant spin and spots Alora standing at the dock’s edge, her expression softening his wild grin.

He walks toward her, breathless. The background noise dims as they step closer, the camera zooming in on their faces.

• Alora, voice steady: “Having fun?”

• jj: “a little bit”

• alora: “yeah”

• jj: “what?”

• alora: “I love you.”

Without hesitation, she leans in and they kiss—first gentle, then deeper, more certain. It’s a short kiss, but filled with longing and relief.

As they pull away, the Pogues erupt around them. • JOHN B (laughing): “Finally!” • SARAH (yelling): “Yes!” • POPE (howling): “Wooo!”

JJ and Alora hold each other foreheads touching, smiling, as the cheers echo and the golden sunset blankets the scene—exactly as it unfolds in the episode.
