Season Two
Bessie begins season two by teasing Joey about her feelings for Dawson. The sisters discuss the relationship, and whether it will impact Joey's potential study transfer to France. Eventually Joey decides not to go, staying in Capeside and helping Bessie with the family business. Bessie occasionally struggles with juggling her business commitments with caring for baby Alexander, frequently begging Joey for help. Bessie is later offended when Joey inadvertently insults her ability to handle everything, and temporarily fires her sister from the restaurant. Towards the end of the season, her father is parolled from prison and returns to the family home. With Mike's help, Bessie and Joey cater for a high class wedding reception, which is a success. During the final few episodes, The Ice House burns down, and through talking to Dawson (who had seen Mike acting suspiciously), Joey discovers that the fire was related to drug deals that Mike had done. Bessie stands by Mike, until he confesses and is arrested. She stands outside the Potter home with Alexander, and turns away when Mike walks over to her.

Famous quotes containing the word season:
“The theater is a baffling business, and a shockingly wasteful one when you consider that people who have proven their worth, who have appeared in or been responsible for successful plays, who have given outstanding performances, can still, in the full tide of their energy, be forced, through lack of opportunity, to sit idle season after season, their enthusiasm, their morale, their very talent dwindling to slow gray death. Of finances we will not even speak; it is too sad a tale.”
—Ilka Chase (1905–1978)
“The season developed and matured. Another year’s installment of flowers, leaves, nightingales, thrushes, finches, and such ephemeral creatures, took up their positions where only a year ago others had stood in their place when these were nothing more than germs and inorganic particles. Rays from the sunrise drew forth the buds and stretched them into long stalks, lifted up sap in noiseless streams, opened petals, and sucked out scents in invisible jets and breathings.”
—Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)
