Olive's husband Henry Kitteridge hires a young, wide-eyed assistant, who proves to be a breath of fresh air for him. Olive helps out an acquaintance with depression. After convincing his wife to cook dinner for Denise and her husband, Henry goes on a hunting trip, which ends tragically. A few weeks later, Olive experiences a tragedy of her own.
Now in his 20s, Kevin returns to Maine on a dark mission and is corralled by Olive while sitting in his car. At Christopher's wedding, Olive, who is none too thrilled with his bride, has a disagreement with the bride's mother Joyce and, after alarming the flower girl, retreats alone to the bride and groom's upstairs bedroom.
After dinner with friends Bonnie and Harmon, Olive and Henry make a pit stop that takes a chilling turn. In the aftermath, Christopher is rebuffed by Olive when he suggests she and Henry should get counseling. Eight months later, Henry's health takes a turn and Christopher confronts his mother about constantly rebuking him as a child.
Olive goes to New York to visit Christopher, now living with his pregnant second wife Ann and her two young children. Put off by Ann's touchy-feely demeanor and an incident with her son Theodore, Olive abruptly announces she wants to return to Maine. Later, Olive receives bad news about Henry and develops an unlikely bond with Jack Kennison.
