The year is 1993.
Florence finally retired last year, putting down a long life of cases and trials, courts and cloaks. She's aging into her status as "MeeMaw Florence", as her empty nest gathers souvenirs from her vacations to Europe and art pieces from her grandkids
Jesse, on the other hand, is still working, though he's taken a backseat as an owner and manager of his clinic, letting younger optometrists do the handywork for him. They have adopted a female cat.
