Bethanne Scranton enjoys her new marriage to Max, but their jobs keep them apart between California and Seattle. Her manipulative ex-husband schemes to win her back. Lydia Goetz runs A Good Yarn with her husband Brad but worries about declining business. Then mysterious baskets of yarn appear throughout Seattle with notes asking people to knit scarves for charity and bring them to her shop.
