The bar owner/cop hasn't had the best of luck - no one in the Hamptons seems to own a four leaf clover - and it looks like season 4 will soon throw him a few more curveballs before it comes to a close. Despite this, "Bait" will find Jack (Nick Wechsler) on the beach with David Clarke (James Tupper), counseling the equally unfortunate man about seeing the glass as half full.

"No one knows what the future holds," Jack says in a sneak peek for "Bait" (see video below) "But if you're an optimist, that just means anything's possible."

Online.
