You're the missing park ranger.
I saw you on the news.
Hey, man, are are you okay? You!
- You did this to me!
- What? I didn't do anything! What is taking them so long? I called them ten minutes ago.
They should be here any minute.
And you're sure that he won't remember anything? It's my own mix of propranolol, a beta
-blocker,
- targeting the brain's limbic system.
- What? We have to make sure he forgets that he stumbled on the cave.
He won't remember anything from the past 72 hours.
Alex! Alex, be careful! Stop! Stop! Okay.
We've confirmed the man you met was in fact the missing park ranger.
What happened to him? We think he must have had a mild stroke and got lost in the woods, suffering from dehydration and amnesia.
Thank God Alex was there.
Where'd you learn how to fight like that? Yeah, Alex, remind me, who's your father? What were you two doing out there in the first place? You know there's curfew.
- Um
- I thought I saw a flickering light.
I was curious.
Why didn't you come to me instead of wandering around in the dark?
- I didn't want to bother you.
- You didn't want to bother me? You could have been k*lled by a lunatic.
I'm sorry, Dad.
Actually, it'd be better if next time you all alert me instead.
Here.
This is my direct line.
Don't hesitate to call.
Anytime.
Thank you, but I'm sure that won't be necessary.
At least this park ranger saga is over.
I'll walk you to your car.
Why didn't you mention Marcus? I didn't want to get him into trouble.
- But I I thought that
- I don't know! Okay? I'm not sure anymore, Alex.
- Hey.
- Hey.
I heard about what happened.
- Thanks, man.
- Yeah, sure.
Um yeah.
Hey, babe, you okay? I almost d*ed when I heard the sirens and realized you were gone.
It was so scary.
I never should've said the things about your mom.
No.
No, it's okay.
Why does everything have to be so complicated? Well, not everything.
Just everything that has to do with you.
But, hey, that's why I love you.
I've missed us.
There you are! You got me worried there for a sec.
- I'm fine.
- What were you doing out there anyway? Nothing.
Alex, I've known you for your entire life.
You know that if there's any information you're holding out from me, I will get it eventually.
Brooke said she saw something suspicious over there, so I just decided to go with her to make sure she'd be all right.
Isn't that Daniel's job? Wait, are you and Brooke No! No! Of course not.
Good.
'Cause you had me worried there for a second.
A stroke? All right.
We can finally close this case, then.
- Hmm.
- Sir? Carter.
Come on in.
Hey, hey! Looking good, buddy.
What's the occasion? Well, Carter reapplied for his old job.
I thought he would never ask.
After seeing all the paperwork that's piled up since I've been gone, hmm, maybe I shouldn't have.
Welcome back, pal.
Good to have you back, Carter.
Yeah.
So, what's this harvest festival about? It's one of the best traditions we have here.
Every year on Halloween weekend, the Greenhouse hosts an open fair for the entire community of Santa Ynez.
We're all gonna work really hard, okay? But keep in mind that this is all going for a good cause, and all the money that we collect will be used to fund STEM scholarships for underrepresented students, all right? Let's do it! Come on, Eagles!
- Welcome to the Harvest Fair.
- Yeah! With the money you're gonna collect today, 20 kids are gonna get to spend the summer at an amazing STEM summer camp program.
Nice.
And you're gonna do this by selling 200 delicious gourmet cupcakes.
Bake sale? That's the best he could come up with? But, Mr.
Osmond, those scholarships are really expensive.
You're gonna have to sell way more than 200 cupcakes to fund them.
Maybe Louis baked them in gold.
I did not.
And, Max, you're right, this camp costs a lot of money.
But fortunately for us, we have an alumni who recently sold his startup to Apple, and has agreed to help us out.
For every cupcake that you guys sell, our anonymous friend's gonna donate Whoa!
- One thousand dollars!
- Not bad for a bake sale.
Each time you sell a cupcake, you ring the bell at your booth and more cash will be injected into the sphere.
Even if we only sell 'em for a dollar? Theoretically, yes.
But there's also a twist.
Twist? No way.
A good leader is also a creative marketer.
You must be able to sell your ideas to the public.
So that's why there's also going to be a competition between the two houses to see who can earn the most money selling the same number of cupcakes.
The winner will get to choose the theme for the Greenhouse Halloween dance party.
That's the prize? Who cares about the theme? However, the losing team has the pleasure of cleaning up the mess by itself after the party.
Forget everything I just said.
We are not losing this.
Good luck.
So what made you finally decide to come back? Other than to yell at me some more.
Yeah, I'm sorry I was such a jerk last time you visited.
You were.
Yeah, well, you know me, uh, I'm a bit slow.
It took me some time to get what you and my kids were telling me.
I'm glad.
For you and for them.
Yeah.
When I realized that Ryan wasn't coming back, I, uh I thought she'd want me to live a good life in a clean house go back to the job I love.
What's that? The night before the launch, Ryan gave me this letter.
You know, a open
-in
-case
-I
-don't
-come
-back letter.
I'm so sorry.
Can I ask what she wrote? Truth is I never opened it.
Why not? Well, at first, I just I couldn't bring myself to open it.
And now, I don't want to.
Maybe one day I'll read it, when the time's right.
Yeah, well, the important thing is that you've moved on.
Yeah.
I guess.
- Great Scott!
- Excuse me? I just thought of a great theme for our Halloween dance.
We haven't even won yet, Max.
I know.
Just in case, I want to be prepared.
It's Back to the Future! Back to the Future! I don't know what you're talking about.
You've never seen it? I've never even heard of it.
It's just, like, the best time
-travel movie ever made.
I gotta tell Emma.
She's gonna love this.
I'm sure she would.
You gotta admit, this challenge is a bit pathetic.
You know what's pathetic? Staying after the dance to clean up everyone else's mess.
Not gonna happen.
So let's focus, come up with a strategy.
- Strategy?
- Mmm
-hmm.
What, are we invading Russia? I mean, all we gotta do is sell a bunch of cupcakes.
A third
-grader could do this.
I mean, not as well as me.
You think she's still mad at me?
- Who?
- Emma.
She's not even here.
I hate to break it to you, but the world doesn't revolve around Maximilian Miller.
She she'll probably be here soon.
Yay! The cupcakes are here! Oh, they look so good! Hey.
Uh, can I share an idea with you? Uh, yeah, sure.
But don't you wanna share it with everyone else? What for? They'll just do whatever we tell them to do.
Yeah, well, I I'd really like to know what everyone else thinks first.
Hey, listen up, guys! We have to figure out a plan.
We have 200 cupcakes that we need to sell, so we need a plan.
Let's get creative.
Daniel, you had something in mind? No, forget it.
Okay.
Uh Parker, what about you? Any ideas? Well, I was thinking maybe we could do, like a You know, like, a "buy one, get one free" kind of sale? My mom goes crazy for those deals.
Yeah, all right.
I like it.
Bad idea.
We'll waste half of our product on freebies.
Well, uh, let's put a pin in that idea for now.
Any other ideas, maybe? What about a raffle? Every purchase gets you a lottery ticket to win some great prize.
Then all our money goes to some great prize.
Here's an idea.
How about we give away a T
-shirt with every cupcake?
- Where did you get those from?
- Huh.
They're from last year.
Uh, they were sold for, like, $25 each.
No one even knows we still have them.
Daniel, I I think we should tell Louis.
We're trying to win a challenge.
We give away a free T
-shirt with every cupcake.
There's no way the Ravens can top that.
That sounds like a bribe, my love.
No, it's not a bribe, babe.
It's an edge.
Well, no offense, but I think it's the wrong edge.
And Alex is right.
You should give those shirts back to Louis.
Any other thoughts?
- Get your red and blue Raven cupcakes!
- Come on! Help support our STEM scholarship fund! Wanna get a cupcake?
- One cupcake could save the world!
- Cupcakes?
- What's your problem, Woods?
- I don't know.
It's idiotic.
Hey.
Uh, how much are these?
- Well, the small ones go for
- There's no price on these cupcakes.
- Really?
- This is for charity.
We are raising money for disadvantaged kids to go to a summer science camp.
So we trust you to pay what you feel is fair.
- All right.
- What are you doing? Taste it.
Trust me.
This is democratic socialism.
Mmm.
It's delicious.
Did you know that one of our STEM scholarship students from 10 years ago went to Caltech and was part of the group that invented Siri for the iPhone? Well, I'm gonna give you $10 for the cupcake and $10 for the scholarship.
Thank you very much.
You are donating to a great cause.
Thank you.
Whoo! Wow, appealing to the customer's emotions.
- Good job, Woods.
- Thank you.
I just spied on the Eagles.
They're just sitting around, talking.
They haven't even sold a single cupcake.
Awesome! Captain, if we win, I thought of a good concept for the Halloween dance.
Back to the Future costume dance party.
I know Emma would back me up on this, but she's not here.
Where is Emma? She stayed at the clubhouse.
She had a headache or something.
I should go check on her.
Hey, Max, maybe that's not a good idea.
Maybe she just needs to be alone right now.
- Get your cupcakes!
- You want a cupcake? Hey Why aren't you at the fair? I'm not in the mood.
You're drawing more attention to yourself by hiding out like this.
Come on.
Get back to the fair and act like nothing happened.
But something did happen.
Don't test me, Emma.
Pull yourself together and go out there now.
Whoo! Look.
They're already selling while we're still babbling.
Maybe we should just start selling to catch up.
What? Without a marketing plan? We can think of one later.
We gotta make bank! Eagles, no.
We can't panic like this, okay? There's still time.
At least we won't starve.
We'll have 100 cupcakes to eat.
Hello, carbs.
I can see Coach Davies forcing us to eat kale for the next month.
Wait.
Do you know what? We can sell the smaller cupcakes for a hefty markup because we'll call them "healthy cupcakes.
" What's healthy got to do with cupcakes? It's all about portion control.
Right? We'll use the bigger cupcakes as bait.
We'll sell the bigger ones for $5, and we'll sell the smaller ones for $20 each.
You really think people would be stupid enough to pay more money for a smaller cupcake? Have you ever been to a health food store? Their prices are crazy.
Trust me.
Let's even call them "guilt
-free cupcakes.
" It's a win
-win, all right? Come on, guys, let's do this.
- Healthy cupcakes for sale!
- Healthy cupcakes, guys! 180 calories! Healthy cupcakes! It goes to charity! Tasty and healthy.
- Five bucks!
- You know you want them!
- Healthy cupcakes!
- Healthy cupcakes.
Donate to a good cause.
It's for charity.
Healthy cupcake! You're not gonna believe this.
The Eagles are selling the tiny cupcakes for 20 bucks.
That's ridiculous.
Hey, Emma.
Sorry I'm late, Captain.
- How's your headache?
- Gone.
So you get your cupcake and a free shirt.
All right?
- What do you think you're doing?
- I'm just trying to help us win.
By going behind Sophie's back with your idea that she rejected? Why are you always criticizing me? You see what you did? And I thought we were done fighting.
I thought we were done lying.
Delicious, huh? Guilt
-free cupcakes over here.
Oh.
I didn't realize I ran out of cash.
It's fine.
Enjoy the fair.
What? Who cares? We almost sold out.
Okay, Parker, what are the results? Both teams chose unconventional and gutsy marketing strategies to sell their cupcakes for charity.
The total amount raised was $150,000! We're gonna be able to send 20 kids to summer camp this year.
And as to your own little challenge, the winning team outsold the losing team by merely $34.
The winners winner of the Harvest Fair challenge, the Eagles.
Eagles! Eagles! Eagles! Eagles! Eagles! Eagles!
- Unbelievable.
- Hey.
We tried our best.
I have one more exciting announcement.
Our anonymous donor has a partner.
And when I told her about our charity, she agreed to match our $150,000 with another $150,000, which means we can provide 40 STEM scholarships instead of 20.
Oh, my God! Wait for it.
There's a twist.
There is only one condition.
Of course.
Our anonymous donor's partner is also one of the top clothing designers for the fashion industry.
And she has challenged our students to put on an impromptu fashion show, right now, featuring the Greenhouse clothing line.
If you can pull this off, she will match our donations.
Go, Alex! That's my bro! I'm sorry we lost.
It's all my fault.
Socialism doesn't work.
But it was fun while it lasted.
Hey, cheer up! You're about to go on stage! I know.
I'm just bummed 'cause I had a great idea for the party theme.
- What was it?
- It doesn't matter.
We lost.
No, really.
I'm open to everyone's ideas.
Well, have you ever seen Back to the Future? She said yes! She liked my idea! That is the most fantastic thing I've heard in my entire life.
I know, right? I see.
Sarcasm.
Please give a hand to the students of the Greenhouse! Yeah! Emma, you look very nice.
We're wearing the same outfit.
Yeah, but you wear it better than I do.
Will you be my date to the Halloween party?
- Emma, did you hear what I
- I heard.
I don't think so.
