Sarah's weekly "Annie Apple" column was gossipy, funny, charming and featured what she considered to be her "good cause". But she decides she needs a rest so she goes to Biggle Bay, which she picked off the map with a pin. She falls for the owner of the struggling owner of the local restaurant there. She thinks she can help him by writing a column about the restaurant, but Alan doesn't want people to come out of a sense of charity. Sarah calls her editor to stop the story from being printed, but when it is published anyway it causes friction between Alan and Sarah.
