Her “nemesis,” Pastor Long is even cooperating by announcing his sudden retirement. But life is never static, and with new people entering Brice and Peyton’s lives on a seemingly daily basis, there's always something... or someone... different to worry about. Like the new assistant pastor who sets off Peyton's Creep-O-Meter. And the enigmatic local artist who tends to make Peyton forget she's no longer that trendy single girl from merely a few years ago.
