Somebody Coming Home

Five Minutes in America · Oct 22, 2026 · 5m

T.C. takes the boys back to Coffman Beach Resort at the end of a tow rope.

Jack Floyd and Mitchell’s father are waiting on the dock. They’ve had plenty of time to imagine what might have happened.

Dudley still has a few things to tell T.C. about the lake. The fathers have questions of their own.

You may remember the boys’ return. This time, see it from the boat that brought them home.
