After the trip to Washington, Sam and Hallie drove to Louisiana to help out Sarah, Sam's sister. Sam and Hallie walk up to the dock where Sarah and her kids are working. Sam's nephew's turn and see them and run over.

"Uncle Sam! Hallie!" his nephews yell as hug them. Hallie chuckles hugging them. "What's up?" Sam smiles.

"That's right! Uncle Sam, you're back early," Sarah says and looks at Hallie and smiles. "And there's my future sister in law."

Hallie chuckles, "Hey Sarah."

Sarah smiles at Sam, "What's goin' on? You got Mom's sneaky look on your face."

Sam leans over a table and grabs a few fries, "How you gonna try to read me when you know I'm the one that reads you?"

Sarah shakes her head as they start walking towards their family boat.

"You gotta marvel at it. Baby being held together by duct tape and prayers," Sam says as a guy hands him a basket of fish and sets it down.

"It'll be fine. It just needs to float long enough for me to sell it," Sarah responds and Sam frowns.

"I thought we were gonna discuss if we were selling it," Sam says.

"We did," Sarah responds setting her basket down. "And then you were off fighting Doctor Space Cape or whatever while I was holdin' it together for five long years. Now that the world is going back to normal, this thing's gotta go."

"We grew up on this thing. It's not just Mom and Dad's name on it, Sarah. This thing is a part of our family," Sam says and Sarah sighs. Hallie frowns knowing how much this boat means to Sam but she also knows that Sarah has been doing everything she could to try and keep it running.

"You know the situation we're in. This is why I prefer not to dwell on it in front of everybody," Sarah responds.

"Well, what if we don't have to sell it?" Sam asks trying to find another way.

Sarah looks at Sam, "Can I talk to you?"

Suddenly a guy approaches distracting Sam, "What's good, Big Sam?"

Sam smiles and takes the basket the guy gave him, "Oh! What's goin' on, man? I'm trying to live like you." The guy laughs and walks away as Sarah shakes her head walking away. Hallie frowns at Sam. "Sam go talk to your sister."

Another older man approaches, "Off to save the world again?"

"Nah. Come on, Carlos. I'm around here more than you. I'm always reppin' NOLA," Sam jokes and Hallie sighs as she goes and walks over to Sarah.

"Hey, you okay?" Hallie asks and she helps Sarah prep the fish.

"I love my brother... but man he doesn't know when to accept the fact that there's nothing else we can do about this boat. We can't afford it and I'm the one who has to keep up with the bills," Sarah says and sighs. Hallie nods, "I think after coming back from being snapped and everything changing. He just wants somethings to stay the same. He doesn't want to lose anything else."
