Guest star Bess Armstrong (Lydia James) last appeared in season 2's "The Truth Doesn't Make A Noise."

Jamie: Who ate all my cereal?
Quinn: Sorry buddy, Aunt Taylor likes to take things that aren’t hers.

Clay: How’s it going J.Scott?
Jamie: Too many girls at our house, not enough cereal.

Miranda: You don’t want to make a record because it’s too personal?
Grubbs: That’s right.
Miranda: Personal sells records and wins Grammys. Personal gives people the words they’re too afraid to say. So when you’re ready to man up, come and make a record with me.

Lydia: I was sorry to hear about your wife. I lost my husband a while back.
Clay: Yeah, Quinn told me. I’m sorry. How’ve you dealt with it?
Lydia: It was hard, but it’s gotten easier. What about you?
Clay: It’s tough to make new memories.
Lydia: But you’re trying, right?
Clay: I’m not sure it’s right.
Lydia: That’s what they’d want for us, to know that we faced their absence with dignity and grace.
Clay: Yeah the truth is I’m not sure I’ve been that gracious about any of it.

Nathan: (to Jamie) If you miss someone, it means your lucky, because you had someone special in your life that was worth missing in the first place.
