Well, that was one way to write off Trace as Jesse Metcalfe exits Chesapeake Shores.
The conversation ensuing after the fiery kiss Trace and Abby shared on the Chesapeake Season 4 finale was the undercurrent of the premiere, and it didn't pay off until the final seconds.
Unfortunately, it felts like this was a manipulated and retconned storyline to see Metcalfe off rather than a natural ending to their story.
Chesapeake Shores Season 5 Episode 1 was probably the most like the previous that we'll see all season.
There is a new showrunner, and we have additional cast joining the show that are sure to change the scope of the show.
Robert Buckley, who is significant enough of an addition to merit being splashed all over the promotional materials, wasn't even a part of the premiere if that gives you any indication of what lies ahead.
The premiere was more about saying goodbye...
