decide to go out for lunch to celebrate.

Jesse hears music that seemingly entrances him. He heads for
the sound and finds that it is Sebastian Vaughn playing his guitar
on the street. Jesse notes that he's heard the song Sebastian
is playing before, but Sebastian just chalks it up to Jesse hearing
him play it once before.

lunch because, in her opinion, he is way to thin. When they get
to the diner they find, rather unexpectedly that everyone ended
up going there, each for different reasons.

and Gage are having a baby boy and naming him Taylor, after Julia
Taylor, everyone drinks to a toast. They marvel at how they've
