Tyler has come to help remediate the oil and reignite the flame he once lit in Edwina, but he keeps running into Holly instead. Simon sees all but is reluctant to rock the tanker that is his marriage. And the seagull just wanted another breath of air while the puppy wants the other half of the croissant.
