Brook Lynn speaks about always wondering what kind of a man she’d marry when she was little, so she made herself a list way back when. They had to be handsome, strong, smart, love music and love her. She says Chase checks them all. One thing she forgot to put on the list was that he had to be good, kind, patient, fair, and just… good. She tells him that he is a good man. Dex and Joss smile at one another as Brook Lynn speaks. Brook Lynn says she’s so grateful she hit him over his head with that bottle and swears for the thousandth time that it was an accident.
