Autumn at Apple Hill (2024)

[bunniefuu]

Here comes my baby

Grandma Hannah always said,

all it takes is just one moment

to change everything.

For Grandma Hannah

and Grandpa Charlie,

that moment happened the day

they first saw

the Inn at Apple Hill.

They worked day and night

Creating magical moments,

not only for their guests...

- Your husband let's you carry this around?

- I can do it.

...but for each other.

Their son, my father,

grew up at Apple Hill.

And after he I was born,

the inn remained

a constant presence

in our lives.

Oh, she's gorgeous.

Apple Hill was a place

where I could be anyone,

do anything.

All under the watchful eyes

of my loving grandparents.

All it takes is just one moment

to change everything.

Even moments beyond

your control.

After grandma and

grandpa passed,

I couldn't let that moment

happen without taking action.

After all, what was the value

of my grandparents' efforts

if I didn't step in to keep

their magic alive?

And it wasn't too long after

securing the purchase

of Apple Hill that I found

myself signing

a different set of papers.

Then it's settled.

Mr. Jones will assume ownership

of the cabin,

and Mrs. Jones will take...

Ms. Jacobs.

Ms. Jacobs will take full

ownership of Inn at Apple Hill.

There's one liability

I'm happy to say goodbye to.

You never took even one moment

to understand why

Apple Hill's so important to me.

Unlike Trent's lack

of confidence in Apple Hill,

I knew it just needed some LC

to bring it back to life,

and I was up for the challenge!

...touch the sky

Now's the time to spread

our wings

and fly

into the great wild world

Hi! I've been handing out

umbrellas 'cause it's raining.

So I just wanted to...

Let me move you

to another table.

I'm sure we can just...

There were some unforeseen

issues along the way...

I will get it fixed as soon

as I possibly can.

I'm so sorry. Um...

Okay.

We have a blender

and a microwave.

And I'm sure we could... no.

Oh, Steve. Please.

But there were some wins too.

On behalf of all of us

at Inn at Apple Hill,

we're honored to be named a

Landover historic destination.

...short lived as they

might be.

We're working on the...

Thanks, guys.

These electrical changes

will allow us to open

three additional rooms.

So you're not at full occupancy?

There are not enough extension

cords in the world.

These changes will allow us

to be at full capacity.

And you think this will be

as good as the day

that Charlie and Hannah first

opened their doors?

That's the plan.

But you know, um...

hard times came to Charlie

and Hannah as well.

They had to defer a lot of

maintenance just to get by.

Ugh... I am painfully aware

of that.

But you have to start

somewhere, Ted.

And this is what they

would've wanted.

They would've wanted you

to run an inn

that's hanging by a thread...

on your own?

I'm doing this to pick up

where my grandma and grandpa

left off.

A lot of the larger hoteliers

are partnering up

with the boutique inns.

A scout from Heston Hotels

came last week,

and it's like they smelled

blood in the water.

Well, partnering with them

would help buffer Apple Hill

from the slower months.

- Ted...

It would help pay for

unanticipated expenses.

I would become an employee

at my own business.

Elise, I can't approve a loan.

Not without a 15 percent

gross profit.

Then I will get there.

Look...

that sounds great,

but if your grandparents

were here right now, they would

say the same thing.

What you want, all this...

it's just not realistic.

I'm sorry.

I know I said 12:00, but you

know I'd always say,

if you are on time,

you are, in fact, late.

Lighten up. It's a joke, Adam.

Hello? Adam?

Hello?

- No, thank you.

- We have no reception.

Not during our lunch date.

Uh... I was told this was

a business meeting.

Unfortunately, son,

it's the only way

I could get you to commit.

It's time for us to celebrate.

I'm gonna stick with my regular

double espresso.

I have a big day today.

Oh, please. You just completed

Bellwether's acquisition

of Starfield Hotels, you can

kick up your feet a little.

Now, sit.

Please.

Is that coming from the CEO

or my mother?

Whichever one you're most

likely to listen to.

Cheers, darling.

Cheers.

By the way, I gave my team

90 days to submit

the new financial

to Bellwether's model.

Is that realistic?

I'm the CFO of course

it's realistic.

No wonder I've been fielding

calls from your entire team.

They're excited, right?

What they are, Luke,

is exhausted.

I've been hearing they worked

weekends, even overnights,

to close this deal.

It's not uncommon for

an acquisition of this size.

And by the way, I didn't force

anyone to do any of this.

You didn't have to.

Honey, you've been at the office

morning, noon, and night.

When you do that, people think

they can't go home

and enjoy their lives.

What is happening?

Replies to a very,

very, very important email

I sent during their lunch break.

Oh, Luke.

Come on.

Do not make me count to 10.

Don't count to 10.

I will do it. One...

Two. Three. Four.

Is that Antonio Banderas?

Are you...

Just one second.

Oh, no, you didn't.

Desperate times call for

desperate measures, Mom.

I couldn't agree more.

Leanne?

Do it.

Thank you.

What did you do?

I deactivated your account.

Undo it. Undo it.

It's time for you to go

on vacation.

I don't want to go

on a vacation.

Listen to me.

Maybe not, but your team

needs a vacation from you.

So, for the next two weeks,

your access to the office

will be suspended.

I'm sorry.

Suspended?

Yes.

I don't want to be suspended.

I want to do this, just please.

Oh honey, I love you.

But if you even

so much as attempt

to log in, you're fired.

I don't know about you,

but I'm starving.

So close.

Oops.

Thank you, again.

Landover Tavern.

Jared, it's Luke.

Is this a good time?

Luke! Of course

it's a good time.

What's going on, man?

Just seeing what you're up to.

Hey, hon. It's Luke.

Luke? Ooh!

Ooh, put him on video.

Put him on video!

No, no, it's, um...

Hi!

Hey.

Oh...

Oh. Are you okay?

Um... no, I'm... I'm great.

No, you don't look

yourself, man.

- You look a little, um...

- Like, um... unkempt.

Yeah.

I'm not unkempt.

I'm taking a few weeks off.

Little vacation.

Sorry. time off?

- You don't take vacation.

- Mm-mm.

I do now.

Blink twice if you're in danger.

Look, Candace.

Right now I'm looking at

a photo of us three

from what I think was

the opening of The Tavern.

Aww.

I think we're about due

for a trip.

Well, would telling you

that photo was taken

over two years ago

help get you down here?

That was two years ago?

It's been three,

but who's counting?

But seriously, you should

come down here

and see all the changes

we've made around here.

Yeah, yeah, yeah! Yes!

I can't wait.

Well, obviously

you're gonna stay with us

'cause we got a whole bedroom

for you upstairs.

'Luke's Room'.

Well, Candace, Luke

is a creature of habit, so.

I do apologize, Candace.

But, uh...

a trip to Landover would

not be complete

without a stay

at the Apple Hill.

...Does this say... Archibald?

Anderson.

Nope.

Underwood. It says Underwood.

That's your final answer?

Mm-hmm.

You know, we wouldn't

go through this each day

if we computerized.

Yeah, but then we'd lose

our charm.

I thought one of the reasons

you hired me was to bring

Apple Hill's reservation system

into the, you know, 20th century.

I think you mean 21st century.

No, I definitely mean 20th.

Do you mind keeping an eye

on things for a while?

Yeah, of course.

I will just finish

the guest notes for tonight.

Thank you.

- You know, if I can read them.

- Okay.

Oh. Remember, there's

a leak in room 11,

so it's out of commission.

Got it.

- Bye.

- Bye.

Okay, let's see...

reservation system.

Candace still helps out at

the tavern every now and then,

but these days, she's just

k*lling it in real estate.

That's great, man.

You guys are hitting your goals.

Yeah, well, we owe a lot

of that to you.

You don't owe anything to me.

I invested because you guys

are crazy talented.

Yeah, well, both might be true.

What happened to Rusty's? What?

Yeah. Shut down after he

retired a couple years back.

Are you serious?

Mm-hmm.

Oh, man.

I used to dominate Space Barge

in here.

Excuse me?

I do believe I beat you

my fair share of times.

You can't be serious.

Oh, I am dead serious.

You know, they have

the original game

over at Tony's Pizza.

Rematch?

Please say now.

Right now.

Right here.

Oh, wait, wait, wait.

Yeah. Hi.

Alright. I'll, uh...

I'll see you soon.

That's convenient.

Yeah... super convenient.

It's gonna have to be

a raincheck.

Get outta here.

Yeah.

Welcome home.

Excuse me.

Do you know what happened

to the high school

that used to be here?

They built a new one

outside of town.

Brand new building.

So they just tore all this down?

And built this beautiful park.

Thank you.

Hey, Elise.

Hey, Tony.

My usual.

Ooh. That bad of a day?

Ugh. I don't even wanna

talk about it.

Well, you might have

to wait a bit.

He's been playing

for 30 minutes now.

But I do have the same game

online if you're interested.

It's not the same.

I'll just wait.

Sounds good.

Maybe I'll just see how long

he's gonna be.

Sounds good.

Excuse me.

Can I help you?

Yes, actually.

There are other people waiting

to play the game.

Me.

Uh... well...

we could play two player.

Oh, no.

I play alone.

It's sort of my form

of meditation.

Well, I can already tell you

seem like the type of person

that needs to zen out.

Says the guy wearing

sunglasses indoors.

What?

No, that cannot be your score.

It can, and it is.

Not today. Excuse me.

You've obviously been playing

long enough.

- What are you doing?

- What are you doing?!

Who does that?

I came over and I asked you

if I could play.

You know what?

Excuse me.

There. There!

New top score!

Oh!

But that's my game.

Well done.

Thank you, sir.

Did you want a slice to go?

Bye, Tony.

Bye.

I take it that was Elise.

That was Elise.

And just like that,

he took my top score.

Well, luckily it is just game.

But I... I get it.

This guy, he seems like trouble.

Yeah, and he could've been

a Trent clone.

He was rude and arrogant

and way out of line.

Okay. Do you wanna discuss

the arriving guests

tonight, or...?

Good idea.

Great. So, I'm thinking...

what if we looked at this

information on a tablet?

Instead of sorting through

these 20 guest files.

Oh, but, Nora, the tactile feel

of paper, though.

What's this?

Uh... solo guest.

Lucas Bellwether.

Bellwether, as in

Bellwether Holdings.

The hotel group?

Nora, look at your iPad.

Look him up.

Okay. Bellwether.

Okay. Right here, right here.

Uh... as Bellwether Holdings'

CFO, Lucas Bellwether

has increased profits and

helped to facilitate funding

to add several regional chains

to their portfolio.

Mm-hmm.

First, Heston Hotels

comes sniffing around,

and now Bellwether Holdings.

No.

No. He's not gonna stay here.

That's it.

Hi. Checking in.

Hi.

You must be Mr. Bellwether.

Welcome to Apple Hill.

Thank you.

Nice to see you again.

Former champion of Space Barge.

Just for the record,

I did have a higher score,

but there was a blackout

at Tony's Pizza

and it deleted all the

information from the game. So...

That's convenient that

that actually doesn't exist.

It says here that you want

down alternative pillows

and laundry service?

If that's fine, or just a

simple ironing would be great.

I'm sorry, we can't provide

any of that.

You know what?

That must be disappointing

for you, so, I can go ahead

and call other hotels

in the area and see if maybe...

No, that'll be fine.

I need to stay here.

And...

we would love to have you.

Also, you know, the WiFi

is down and...

Good thing I'm supposed

to be on vacation.

Now, how does a check-in work?

Is it a key card, app...?

No, no, we use actual keys.

Adorable.

Like Bates Motel.

Let's give Mr. Bellwether

room 11.

No, we can't use...

Nora, let's give him 11.

That's great.

And you know what?

Grab him a welcome basket

while you're there.

Oh, too kind.

Everyone gets one.

There you are. It's just

up those stairs.

You'll see it.

Thank you.

Mm-hmm.

I am so confused.

Didn't you say that we

could not rent out room 11?

I did say that.

If he insists on staying here...

I'm gonna give him the worst

week of his life.

How is there no reception?

None?

He will return in two weeks.

But in the meantime, I'll be

canceling all meetings,

and your deadlines will be

extended until Luke's return.

No, no, no. Wait, wait, wait.

You can't do that.

Sorry?

Did someone have a question?

Hello?

Hello?

Hello?

No way.

Can I help you?

My phone doesn't seem

to be working.

Oh, that one's on the fritz.

Along with leaking pipes,

busted door handles,

and loose outlets. I would like

to switch rooms, please.

I'm sorry, that's

the only one available.

I'd like to speak with

the owner, then.

You have been speaking

with the owner.

Oh, so you are the one

intentionally running

this place in the ground.

Mr...

Mr. Bellwether, I told you

about our limitations

when you checked in.

We're not for everybody.

So, if you would like to stay

somewhere else,

I will gladly refund your money.

That is so incredibly sad,

because this place has

so much potential, if you would

just give a little more effort.

We just became a Landover

historic destination.

And last month, I received

a hospitality award

from the Innkeepers Guild.

You just made that up.

No. They're...

Do you wanna see my plaques?

Did you buy them

on the Internet?

You don't buy plaques on the...

No, I didn't buy them

on the Internet!

Donna Bellwether's office.

Leanne, this is Luke.

Is my mom around?

Luke, I'm under very

strict orders.

This is urgent.

Can you please get her?

I can pass the word along,

but she is busy

at the moment, Luke.

Doing what?

If you must know, she's

surprising the finance team

with an overnight stay

at Canyon Post Spa.

So, instead of them

meeting deadlines,

she's taking them

to get massages?

Yeah, and you know what?

They're pretty excited about it.

...massages instead

of work!

I think we are all set

for tomorrow.

You know, I think this is

the inn's 67th apple harvest.

That is a lot of apples.

Mm-hmm... and a lot of memories.

Mmhmm.

It's one of those days

that makes me feel like

my grandma and grandpa

are still here.

Well they definitely are.

And that is thanks

to you, Elise.

The question is, what now?

Well, we still have a decent

amount of occupancy

for the rest of October.

Decent is not gonna cut it

if we're gonna get to

that 15 percent profit

the bank needs to see.

And, um...

what happens if we don't

hit that number?

We have light!

Ta-da.

For now.

Chuck. Hi.

I didn't know that

you were here.

Oh, just don't tell my boss,

it's after hours.

Oh, I can't thank you enough.

Well, it's only temporary.

For how long? I don't know.

Um... can we get you dinner?

I mean, for your hard work,

for your...

- I have a sandwich in the truck.

- Yeah.

Hey, what do I owe you?

This one's on me.

But, uh... I mean it.

Elise, you need

an upgraded panel.

The sooner the better.

Okay. Yeah.

Thank you, Chuck.

Bye, Chuck.

Did he say bye back?

No.

Oh...

So, uh... Chuck, huh?

- What?

- What?

What? No.

- Chuck?

- I don't know.

No.

You seemed pretty excited

to give him something to eat.

Well, 'cause I like to

feed people.

So... how was that walk

down memory lane?

So much has changed.

Everything feels super

small too.

Well, you have been living

in New York.

No, no. I mean, um...

for instance,

our high school disappeared.

When did that happen?

Yeah, that one...

that was tough.

I've seen a lot of places come

and go, but that one was hard.

I wonder if our old hockey

photo's in the new school.

- I doubt it.

- Yeah.

But I do have a photo for you.

- Sit tight.

- Okay.

That is a photo.

Come on.

- Right?

- Are you serious?

Yeah.

Look at us!

Look at those fangs!

Intimidating vampires,

those guys are not.

Okay, don't let seven-year-old

me hear you say that.

That's great.

Yeah. You were a terror.

I was? What happened to you?

I don't know.

Oh, Halloween at Apple Hill.

Mm-hmm.

So cute.

Apple Hill. Even that place

has changed.

I mean, I get there,

my doorknob falls off,

the phones don't work,

the sink's leaking,

and the woman who's running it,

Elise,

she shouldn't even be

in hospitality.

Like, what is happening?

Well, Elise is pretty much

the only reason

that Apple Hill is still going.

Yeah, she took over after

her grandparents passed.

-Mmhmm.

Is this the same Elise

from high school?

Elise Jacobs? Yeah.

Same one.

That's even worse.

I remember her grandparents.

They would be furious if they

knew the condition it was in.

I'm sorry. I don't mean to...

I get it. I get it.

Apple Hill was a special place

for you and your mom.

And just think about it.

If it weren't for Apple Hill

inspiring your mom

to stay here...

then we wouldn't be friends.

It's true.

- And I'm awesome.

- Hey! We're awesome.

We're awesome.

You know, I'm actually

really surprised

at how much it's changed.

Everybody raves about how

thoughtful Elise is, and...

she's always been

so great with us.

Yeah, it's true.

Why not me?

How are we doing for

ticket sales for tomorrow?

Uh... you mean for

the orchard harvest?

No. For the other event we're

selling tickets to tomorrow.

Yes, for the harvest.

Okay. One moment.

What?

Nora, what's the number?

I've never been that low.

sh**t.

Now it's at 15 'cause we just

got a cancellation.

But...

I am sure that we will have

a lot of walk-ins

and people driving by.

I, um...

I asked earlier as an employee.

But now I need to ask

as a friend.

How long can we go

without a loan?

As a friend...

I'm not sure we'll make it

past October.

Especially if the event

tomorrow's a flop.

It's late, we should

call it a night.

Okay.

Good night.

Good night.

Excuse me. Hey!

Excuse me.

I didn't need housekeeping.

Oh, that's so funny.

What are you doing?

I am fixing what you are

unwilling to.

It is almost midnight.

People are sleeping.

Well, I'm done for now.

No, you're done for good.

I didn't give you permission

to do anything.

I would be more than happy

to undo all of my handiwork...

once I leave.

Which cannot come soon enough.

I figured you might say that.

But I paid for this room

fair and square.

So, until I check out...

you're stuck with me.

I could use some

clean towels, though.

Oh, come on!

Perfect. We'll see you at noon.

Okay. Bye.

Got three more.

See? I knew we'd have

last-minute joiners.

Phew.

I can't tell you how...

It's too bad I didn't have

any fresh towels.

But I did manage to dry off

with three bedsheets.

I'll give you that right there.

Actually, that's kind of genius.

Ooh, scones!

I'd love one, please.

Yeah, great.

Yeah. And also put me down

for apple picking,

unless you managed

to mess that up too.

Oh... no. Nuh-uh.

I should mention that apple

picking takes actual work.

Well, I'm good with work,

as you know per last night.

What he's referring to

is the fact that

in the middle of the night,

he decided to change

a door handle

without my permission.

Fixed the door handle.

Also the phone jack,

the electrical outlet,

and a leaky sink.

But... I digress.

What's the WiFi?

- Apple pie is...

- We don't give that out...

Apple pie...?

Lower... lowercase?

Mm-hmm.

Great.

Thank you, Nora.

Um...

he repaired his room?

Yeah, apparently.

Too bad he can't fix

all of them.

That would increase occupancy.

Actually...

maybe he can.

Mother.

I have changed my username

and password,

and if you try to log

into that portal again,

don't think I won't

press charges!

Oh, you wouldn't.

No, I wouldn't, but I want to.

I was so hoping that you

would be staying

some place without Internet.

I practically am,

I'm at Apple Hill.

Oh, we had good times

there, kiddo.

Yeah. Yeah, we did.

But Landover has changed

so much, I mean...

so many places are gone

and everywhere else

I just don't even recognize.

Hmm. A word of advice

from your mom?

Go ahead.

Landover will have changed

even more on your next visit,

and the visit after that.

Which is why you owe it

to yourself

to really enjoy this moment.

Because it won't be coming back.

Oh, I have a meeting.

Bye for now, honey.

Have fun!

Hi. Enjoy.

Hi.

Oh.

- Look who's here.

- Hi!

The de la Cruz family, right?

Do you wanna pick some apples?

Welcome, welcome.

You wanna pick some too, right?

Have so much fun!

- Okay. Bye.

- Bye!

Now, it's still early.

Am I, uh...

am I here on the right day?

I don't, um...

I don't think I see a

Bellwether pre-register here.

No, that's Luke.

- Oh yeah.

- Yes, there it is.

- Right there.

- Thank you, both.

That's... there it is.

You know what would be

great? Is like, a... like a selfie wall.

Ooh...

Interesting.

But this event is so that

people can relax and connect.

Not gain followers.

You could definitely use

some followers, you know.

I mean, people

are gonna be posting

on their socials anyway.

So what better way to ensure

Apple Hill's brand is present?

If these guests wanted

to be manipulated

by a greedy corporation,

they would be at one of

your properties.

There it is, right there.

The reason I've been getting

the special, or I should say,

not so special treatment,

is you have a problem

with my family's company.

I am sorry to burst

your precious bubble,

but I don't think about you

or Bellwether Holdings at all.

Do you wanna pick some apples?

Oh, actually...

I bought something special

just in case you came.

Seeing as you like to

spruce things up.

A broken basket

and apple picker.

That's how we're treating

paying customers, but...

Um...

Have a good day.

Goodbye!

Hey, buddy.

Sorry, I got caught up

with inventory. Ooh!

Glad you made it.

Uh... can you help, or are you

still scared of heights?

I can manage.

Go for it.

Pineapple donuts!

Wow.

Don't think they could hear you

over in the other county.

Should I do it again?

No.

Hi. Do you want some?

Hello.

We have some more friends

over here.

- Oh, yes. Here you go.

- Hi guys.

Just like old times.

Is he friends with Jared?

- I like it.

- Not bad.

How about a little of this?

It sure looks like

they're close.

Oh!

You know what?

I think I went a little far.

I mean...

I completely get where

you're coming from.

Especially if he is scouting

to acquire Apple Hill.

But I don't know, Elise.

He doesn't seem like

that bad a guy.

I mean, he even might be

a little fun.

But not that fun.

Big smiles. Big, big, big!

Smiley-er! Is that a word?

I'm just kidding.

Alright, you guys look great.

Three, two, one.

Big smiles!

Alright. if you post it,

please tag, uh...

'Inn at Apple Hill'.

- Yeah.

- Thanks, guys.

- Come on!

- What do you think?

It's amazing, right?

I mean, who needs a vacation

to Maui, or Rome,

when you have Landover?

So, about that vacation.

It's not exactly voluntary.

What happened?

She suspended me!

Can you believe that?

- No...

- Yes!

She calls it a

mandatory vacation.

Right.

Still got to feel pretty

harsh, though.

She says my management style

is not working, and...

sadly, I'm starting to realize

she might be right.

Your mom usually is, though.

I know.

Alright, so what?

You're suspended.

Now what?

I guess take your advice.

Disconnect from work.

Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

How's that going for you?

Well, I don't have

my phone on me.

I'm not missing it too much.

- Too much.

- Too much.

Well, come on.

I'll put you to work.

Your turn on the ladder.

I'm on vacation.

- Good seeing you, buddy.

- Good seeing you too.

Jared.

- Elise! Hey.

- Hey.

Oh, I'm sorry I couldn't

say hi earlier.

No, no, no. You're busy

with all this.

It looks fantastic.

Oh, thank you. It's too bad

Candace couldn't make it.

Yeah, she had that open house.

Oh.

Well, that's good.

Hey, I wanted to ask

you something.

Yeah, sh**t.

How do you know

Lucas Bellwether?

- Luke?

- Yeah.

We've been friends

since we were kids.

Wait...

That's...

that's Luke from school?

Yeah.

I was a couple years

behind you guys.

I remember him,

but the adult version

of him is... so different.

I mean, he's a little taller.

But he still has

that heart of gold.

Okay, if it wasn't for Luke,

there would be no

Landover Tavern.

Speaking of which...

I gotta take this, but this

has been great.

It looks fantastic.

Thank you.

Landover Tavern.

Hi.

Hi.

I...

Is that for me?

Yeah. No... no.

Broken window frame.

Change air filter.

Fix damaged floor tiles.

Change smoke detectors.

Wow, this is a...

...pretty heavy to-do list.

You know what you forgot?

The broken apple picker.

So... we'll just go ahead

and add that one too.

I was going to give you that

list, but then I reconsidered.

I still can't figure out

the hang up you have

with my family's company.

It's like you think we're...

You... you think we want

to buy Apple Hill.

Don't you?

I originally thought that,

but then I found out

who you were.

Who am I?

You're... Luke.

Jared's best friend

from high school.

I didn't know that

until I talked to him.

Yeah, Luke.

Luke Bellwether was him then.

Luke Bellwether now.

What does that have to do

with anything?

Growing up, I just knew

you as Luke.

We weren't in the same grade.

We didn't hang out.

You always seem like this

simple, carefree guy.

I'm still that guy.

I didn't know that. I just saw

a corporation, and I...

I feel like I missed the chance

to get to know you that way.

Quick story.

After my parents' divorce,

my mom took me here.

To Apple Hill.

I had the time of

my life, apparently.

I was four years old,

but I do remember that

that was the weekend she

decided to move to Landover.

For good.

To give me a childhood

and an upbringing

I could never have in New York.

So, you came here for that,

for those memories.

I'm sorry.

Just stay.

And I will make

all of this up to you.

I love it here.

I really love it here.

But seeing this inn that I love

in the state that it's in...

I am not gonna let you or

anyone else tarnish the memory

of how great it once was.

So you can keep this.

Oh, it smells amazing in here.

Unfortunately, the oven

is on its last legs.

You know that some of these

pies went through

three rounds of baking

before they were ready?

Oh, and... they have the bruise

to show for it.

Well...

could that pie maybe

be good enough for

a certain electrician?

So, it is five days until

my follow-up meeting

with the bank, and things

keep getting worse.

I've literally tried everything

my grandma and grandpa would do

in this situation,

but nothing's clicking.

But you know what?

Something will.

Because it always does.

Maybe it's my fault. You know?

Look how I jumped to

conclusions with Luke.

Maybe a little bit.

But...

I heard that he's staying

with his friends

who own Landover Tavern.

Candace and Jared?

Mm-hmm.

Fun fact about

Lucas Bellwether...

loves apple pies.

He does?

Oh, I have no idea.

But there's only one way

to find out.

Hey. Look who's up.

Hey.

How'd you sleep?

Good. That bed is comfortable.

Better than your room

over at Apple Hill.

Yeah. Added bonus, I don't

have to deal with Elise Jacobs.

Right. Tea?

No. Something stronger, please.

Oh, okay.

I'm gonna have to leave

the coffee to you, though.

You know how to use one of

these things, right?

I gotta get up to the tavern.

Uh... but I'll see you later?

Deal.

Can I help you?

Consider this...

a freshly baked mea culpa.

Nora.

Hi.

Um...

Thank you for all your help

with the electrical at the inn.

This is from... Elise.

Oh.

Okay...

I should never have had

preconceived notions about you.

I didn't know what the inn meant

to you and your mom, and I'm...

I'm truly sorry.

Do all of your apologies

smell this good?

As long as I'm not

the one baking them.

Fair. Come in.

Uh...

Can I get you a coffee?

That'd be great.

Thank you.

Lovely change of pace.

A coffee truce, if you will.

A truce?

I was not the one at w*r.

Fair.

But I did wanna ask, had I been

interested in the inn,

you could've just said no.

I was a little afraid

I'd say yes.

Why is that?

Because I...

I dove wholeheartedly

into buying Apple Hill.

You know, I was determined

to preserve that part

of my grandparents' lives,

but it is taking everything

I have to keep it afloat.

And what's it giving to you?

It's keeping me up at night.

I'm worried that I'm not

gonna get the funding I need,

and then I'm...

I'm gonna have to let it go.

How long do you think you can

go without the loan?

Maybe through the first

week of November.

Maybe.

Well... the good news is,

I think I can help.

If you'll let me.

Uh... how are your books?

Any upcoming events?

Nope.

The orchard harvest was

the last event of the season.

What about... Halloween party?

Oh, that became too tough

for my grandparents to do.

They stopped doing it

15 years ago.

Exactly.

Imagine the response if you

brought it back.

- This Halloween?

- This Halloween.

The one that's

in a matter of days.

Matter of days.

Plenty of time.

Perfect.

I really appreciate your

enthusiasm, I do.

But I'm not sure that one night

is enough to save my inn.

What if we sold tickets?

That would work.

And if you agree to that...

it would also let me consider

accepting your apology.

I also have a condition.

Okay.

I will consider doing

the Halloween party...

if you give me a second chance

and you finish your stay

at Apple Hill.

Elise Jacobs, you have a deal.

Um...

Discard.

Keep.

Oh, I liked him.

That's ok.

Alright.

You know what?

We need to rethink this

entire party.

Do you realize how much

Landover's changed?

I do.

But I've been here, so for me,

it's been more gradual.

There was this photo I really

loved of Jared and I.

It was right after the hockey

state championship.

It hung in that high school

for years.

It was like a permanent part

of the community.

And... now it's gone.

Neither of you have a copy?

- No.

- Hm.

And the arcade.

Okay, I cried when they

closed that down.

Elise, that's my point.

That's why we need

to have this party.

Something needs to be brought

back to life.

I know, and I want to, but...

what am I supposed to do?

Go door to door to every

craft store and ask them

if I can use their projects

as decorations for our party?

They seem pretty

into their work,

maybe we should

just post a flyer.

Why wait? We're here now.

Uh... excuse me, guys.

This won't take long.

Uh... I'm Luke.

This is Elise.

She owns the inn at Apple Hill,

and we're throwing

a Halloween party.

And we would love to know

if you wanted to help

in the decorations department.

As a little added bonus,

if you do contribute,

there'll be free admission

to the party.

So what do you guys say?

Show of hands.

Everyone?

Boom.

Every single hand went up.

I figure it just goes to show

you how much they want you

to have this Halloween party.

It was also about displaying

their artwork.

See right there?

That's what you need

to improve your outlook,

a little Braemer's ice cream.

Pumpkin scoop cures everything.

I don't need to improve

my outlook.

And they don't have

pumpkin ice cream.

Yes, they do.

Alright, you'll see.

They better have it.

They better have it!

Candy corn, really?

Everyone loves it.

No, everyone does not love it.

Get rid of pumpkin

for candy corn?

I have never seen someone get

so worked up over a dessert

that tastes like a gourd.

You can't say it like that.

No, it's pumpkin and

cinnamon and allspice.

It's perfect for fall,

even if it's snowy.

Your excitement about

the little things in this town,

you just light up.

Are you like that

about the city?

Uh... pizza. Yes.

Other than that, no.

I went to New York for the sole

purpose of getting my MBA,

in hopes of one day

running Bellwether.

One more try.

'Cause I'm adventurous.

You know what?

No.

Oh...

See? Even the trash can

didn't want it.

What'd you get?

You saw a whole array

of ice creams

you could've chosen from.

It looks delicious.

It's so good.

Give me a bite.

May I have a bite?

Better.

Thank you.

Glad you fell for that.

Were you all done

with breakfast?

Yeah, officially it is.

But I can get you something.

No, no, I'm good.

I just wanted to see

if you were free.

I got something planned.

Adventure awaits.

Ooh.

Okay.

Give me just a minute.

Great.

Where are you taking me?

That, my lady, is a surprise.

Oh, well, I can't wait

to find out.

I'll give you a hint.

I'm taking you to the pumpkin

patch to buys some pumpkins.

These are absolutely amazing.

Flawless.

Oh, boy.

Probably out of our price range.

I don't know.

But I do know these are some

odd-looking pumpkins.

I wonder who farms them.

You want odd-looking...

you should see my friend,

Luke Bellwether.

What's up, buddy?

How long has it been?

About that...

Ten years.

It's been ten years!

Busy an excuse?

I'm a pediatrician

who also farms pumpkins.

Fair enough. Uh... Ron, Elise.

Elise, Ron.

Nice to meet you.

These are exquisite.

Elise owns the Inn

at Apple Hill.

Hannah and Charlie's place.

I'm the granddaughter,

I took it over.

How'd you get tangled up

with this guy?

Oh, yeah. Right?

We're thinking about

bringing back

the Halloween party at the inn.

And what's a Halloween party

without some pumpkins?

So, uh... a little bit

of a budget, but...

I will absolutely hook you up.

I'm guessing you also

need hay bales.

Whatever you suggest.

That'd be great, thank you.

I'll be right back.

So, you haven't talked to him

in 10 years,

and you show up and ask

him a favor, and he agrees?

Yeah.

Let's go find some pumpkins.

You're all set, Ms. Randolph.

Yeah, we look forward

to your stay, too.

Okay. Bye.

Hey, Nora.

Hi, um...

How can I help you?

I was, uh, just in the area.

Thought I'd stop by and thank

Elise for that apple pie.

Well, she's out at the moment,

but I will...

I will pass that word along.

What you doing?

Uh... I am just working on

a little surprise for Elise.

Need any help?

I'm, uh...

I'm just kind of in the zone.

Cool. Gotcha.

Oh! Hi.

- Oh, hi. Hi Chuck.

- Hey

That is... that's a lot

of decorations.

Not that I don't love them.

They're great.

But can we afford them?

These are all donated by local

artists, thanks to Luke.

How you doing? Luke.

Chuck. The electrician.

Oh, nice to meet you.

I think this is gonna

look good. Yeah.

Yeah. We have pumpkins,

hay bales.

Oh, and Ron's donating

a bunch of lights.

That's gonna be a problem.

No problem. No charge.

It's just stuff he had extra

from storage.

The inn's electrical panel

is the original

knob and tube system,

and it can barely keep

the lights on as it is.

Okay. So how do we light

the outside?

Well, I guess we're just gonna

have to rely

on the original lighting

we use every day.

I don't think you can

have the Halloween party

you wanna have without

lighting up the outside.

That's kind of essential.

What's essential is that

the panel holds up

so I can stay in business.

Any extra lighting...

Okay, uh... how much does

a new panel cost?

It's $12,103.

And 42 cents.

That is specific. But, hey,

we have options.

No. Don't even say it.

I mean, if it needs repairs,

it needs repairs.

No, I'm not taking a handout

from you, Luke.

It's not a handout, I promise.

Thank you.

End of discussion.

I'm gonna...

What if we called it a, uh...

I don't know, a temporary loan.

That I'm not sure

I can pay back.

Listen, if we don't do

this party right,

you're not gonna hit

your numbers.

Please let me help.

I truly appreciate

everything you've done.

But when I agreed

to go in on this,

it was to work together.

Not to be your latest project.

That's not what I'm doing.

Is it?

No.

Maybe a little.

If I rely on you for this,

how am I gonna get through

the next problem, or the one

after that?

By letting people do for you

exactly what I know

you would do for them

in a heartbeat.

You've seen firsthand how

quickly people come together

if you just let them in.

I can't take money from you.

I think we need to quit

while we're ahead.

Um...

That might be problematic.

I've already made

an announcement.

When? Where?

Uh... this morning.

Social media and

the Landover Tribune.

See.

You... you need to cancel it.

Well, see, I can't 'cause, uh..

We've already sold 110 tickets.

No. Wait a minute.

No, no, no.

This deal has been

as good as done for weeks,

and you're telling me that

Starfield's making

additional demands now

in the 11th hour?

No.

No, I don't want legal to draft

any modifications.

At least not yet.

How much time do we have?

Three days.

Well, that's not enough.

Get me an extension!

And this is why Chuck

is officially off my list.

It's odd, 'cause I don't

remember him

mentioning a girlfriend.

Yeah, yet there she was.

But this is looking festive.

Do we have any updates

from Luke on ticket sales?

Yeah. We're at over 200.

That's amazing.

And there's also

no backing out now.

We can always refund tickets.

And let down our

entire community?

We have an oven that can

barely make breakfast

for 20 to 30 guests.

Let alone feed over 200 people.

Who said you had to do food?

We're already at a disadvantage

with the lighting.

If we make too many shortcuts,

people will notice.

And I almost forgot

to tell you, um...

a woman from the community

center named Julie called.

She says... "it's there".

What does that mean?

Looks so good, doesn't it?

So, I know it might not look

like much right now,

but the plan is to convert this

into a private events room.

I mean, once I can get this

all cleared out.

And once that's done,

are you thinking about

a second location?

That might be a Luke Bellwether

thing to do, but me,

I'm having a hard enough time

keeping up as it is.

How are the plans for Halloween

coming along?

The inn's electricity won't

support all the decorations

that I think we should

be doing, so...

but we'll... we'll manage.

That used to happen to us

every Christmas.

Any time I'd add a new string

of lights, I'd be worried

about the power going out

if I made a cup of coffee.

Did you upgrade?

No, I got a generator.

We're up to three now.

Generators.

Hi, you've reached

Luke Bellwether,

CFO of Bellwether Holdings.

I'm unavailable at the moment,

but if you please leave

your name, number...

Since when doesn't he answer

the phone?

What are we doing

at the library?

I thought we picked up all

the Halloween decorations.

We did, indeed.

Oh, thank you.

You're welcome.

Oh, wow.

Look at that.

Do you remember Steve?

Look at that, man.

Heck, yeah. Old nine.

God, that was great.

Look at this next one.

Oh...

What?

Are you serious?

Yeah.

I remembered hearing about

an installation that had photos

from Landover High School.

And I wasn't sure yours

was in here, but...

I made a call and here it is.

I cannot believe this.

You tracked this down for me?

I got determined to find

something that hadn't changed.

Plus, I...

I was dying to see

your reaction.

I hope it didn't disappoint.

No, it didn't.

I feel like I've watched

you come to life

since you've been here.

What can I say?

It's contagious.

Maybe a little.

Just a little.

Knowing I'm gonna be back

in the city,

but there'll be

a piece of me here.

Thank you.

Well, you have left...

much more of an impression

than any photo could.

Fresh pastries!

Oh. Good morning.

Enjoy.

Nora!

There you are.

Was wondering where you were.

Sorry. Um...

I'm actually not sure how

to tell you this, but... here.

Is everything okay?

Yep.

- Guestbook?

- Yeah.

Out of all the platforms,

their reviews were the best.

So, I met with a sales rep,

and they agreed to give us

a three-month trial.

We already have reservations.

Because I went live last week

without telling you.

But you can't be upset at me

because I hand-wrote

all reservations

in your guestbook

so that you wouldn't notice.

You are nothing

if not determined.

And I've been entering

in all past guest notes

during my downtime.

There is one problem.

We're fully booked

for Halloween.

Yes!

What?

Hello?

Why aren't you

answering my calls?

You told me to dis...

Disconnect, not disappear.

Listen, honey, I'm very glad

to hear that you've had a nice

stay in Landover, but how would

you feel about coming back?

Sooner than three days from now?

Sooner, as in today.

It's urgent.

Morning, Nora.

Good morning.

Hey, uh, are we all set

for today?

Yes.

As long as you can

keep Elise away.

I can try, if I knew

where she was.

Where is she?

She went to Candace

and Jared's tavern.

Hey, Nora. Luke.

What's going on, Chuck?

Oh, Chuck volunteered to help

us with the lights.

That is great. Um...

I just remembered I forgot

something inside.

So, I'm gonna...

Okay.

Okay.

How well do you know Nora?

Just from work I've done

around here at Apple Hill.

And, uh... she brought me a pie.

A pie? That's nice.

Yeah, from Elise.

But it was great timing.

My sister was in town,

and she loves the apple pie.

Chuck.

Would it be a crazy idea

to think that maybe

Nora might like you?

Uh... me?

Uh... no.

Nora is, uh... she's...

way out of my league.

Cords.

Yeah.

Thanks.

Alright, and we have

the butternut squash gnocchi

with arugula salad.

Careful, the plates are hot.

And we have the fire

roasted chicken

with the honey glazed carrots.

Enjoy.

Elise!

Hey, you.

So good to see you.

You too.

What can I do for you?

Elise!

This is such a surprise.

- Hi.

- So good to see you.

Oh, I just got a new listing.

What? That's amazing!

But it's not just any listing.

It is Luke's childhood home.

No.

Oh, sorry. I totally

took over this.

No, no, no.

What can we do for you?

Uh, well...

I came to ask you guys a favor.

Sure. Anything.

Well, Luke told you about

the Halloween party

at Apple Hill.

Well our oven has been

on the fritz,

and I was hoping that maybe

we could prep some items

here for the party?

Or maybe we could do the food

for the party.

Yeah!

That's so much,

I couldn't let you.

We wanna support you.

Yeah, and it's great

advertisement for the restaurant.

Mmhmm.

- Well, then...

- A no-brainer.

How could I say no?

Thank you.

We would never let you say no.

That's true.

In that case, I do have

one more little question.

sh**t.

Go on.

Oh, excuse me!

Thank you.

Are you stealing

my friends, Jacobs?

Hi.

And not a chance.

They are Luke devotees.

I came here to source

an oven for Halloween,

and I ended up securing

a food vendor.

I'm sorry, was that you

asking someone else for help?

They volunteered, to be honest.

I was surprised to see

how excited they were

about the party.

Why would you be surprised?

Everyone here wants you

and Apple Hill to succeed.

Including someone who's just

randomly hanging out by my car?

Oh, no, no, no.

Not random.

I'm on a mission to take you

to an early dinner.

Why do I have the feeling

you're trying

to keep me from the inn?

Because I am.

But don't worry,

you're gonna approve.

As long as I get to choose

the place.

So you're not going to tell me.

That's not how surprises work.

Did you buy me a pony?

Okay. Keep 'em closed.

This is ridiculous.

I'm not 12.

Open up.

My childhood home, what?

Well, Candace just got

the listing,

and so now we have access.

Of course she did.

This is amazing.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Listen. I, uh...

I should go ahead and tell you.

We hit a pretty big snag

at work,

and my mom needs me

back in New York, so...

But you're still here.

I am.

I told her I was not gonna miss

Halloween at Apple Hill.

After you.

You ever notice anything was up

with Nora and Chuck?

She used to have such

a crush on him.

And she went to surprise him

with a pie.

And she met his girlfriend.

Oh.

His what?

His girlfriend.

That's not his girlfriend.

That's his sister.

She's visiting right now

from out of town.

No.

Yeah.

Oh, that changes everything.

Oh, yeah.

Your childhood home

being for sale

the week you're visiting.

Right?

You think that's a sign?

Well...

it's too much of a coincidence

to just let go.

But, man...

You hear that?

Hear what?

Nothing.

No sirens, no buses,

no city traffic.

This is nice.

This is peaceful.

Sounds like you miss being here.

Yeah.

I mean, the truth is, I wish

I could be two places at once.

You know, fulfilling my

obligations at Bellwether.

And then having special moments

like this with you.

Sometimes you have to choose.

I know Bellwether would survive

and largely remain the same

with or without you.

But I can't say the same

for everyone here.

Including me.

Oh, my gosh.

They're here.

Okay. Okay.

Okay.

What?

Come here.

What is it?

You'll see.

Okay.

Chuck! Now!

Luke, you said

no new electrical.

But nothing about

borrowed generators.

Wait...

You did all of that

with generators?

No, actually. Uh...

Oh, Nora and Chuck

deserve most of the credit.

No, no. It was along with

a group of volunteers

who were willing to decorate

in exchange for a party invite.

That's amazing.

So, I guess we're ready

to throw a party.

Luke? There you are.

Finally.

Mom.

- Hi, um...

- Hi.

Oh, uh... Mom, this is Elise.

Elise, it's lovely to meet you.

Hello.

Now I understand why my son

won't return my calls.

When did Starfield counter

with different terms?

Last week. Out of the blue.

I have 16 hours left before

they shop other buyers.

If I could just call their

bluff and do nothing,

I would, but...

I need you on this one, son.

But you really don't.

Watching you work,

it's made me learn to trust

that first intuition.

Look at all your pros and cons

and then act.

Wow.

Right now, my intuition

is telling me that

I have not seen you this happy

in a very long time.

A break from reality

will do that to someone.

This is reality.

For Jared, Candace.

Not to mention Elise.

Starfield.

And you're sure that...

it's just his sister?

What?

His sister.

Yes.

Luke verified with Chuck,

and he is 100 percent single.

As a matter of fact, he's here

doing a scavenger hunt

with some of the kids right now.

He's here. That's cool.

That's cool. Okay.

So, tonight is the night.

I have all sales set

to route here.

All you have to do is

enter expenses.

Incredible. So, at the end

of the night,

I will know completely

where we stand?

Yes.

Thank you so much, Nora.

You are brilliant.

Um, I meant to ask you,

how are you feeling

about this being

Luke's last night?

I... I shouldn't...

No.

Obviously, I wish he could

stay in Landover,

you know, so that we could

get to know each other better.

But we got into this knowing

he was gonna go back

to the city, so...

Wow!

Hi.

I knew you guys were gonna

do a great job, but this is...

this is incredible.

Thank you.

It looks really great.

Is that a selfie wall?

Mm-hmm.

I don't know if you're aware,

but these are great

for capturing the moment,

and also, at the same time,

promoting the inn.

I was not. It's genius, though.

And you're...

yeah, you're scaring me

a little bit.

It is Halloween.

Yes it is.

There's one other thing

I wanna show you.

Follow me.

This was not in the plans.

No.

Ice cream?

Mm-hmm.

Not just any ice cream.

It's pumpkin ice cream.

Really?

Mm-hmm. You wanna try it?

Yes, I do.

Oh... thank you.

Phenomenal.

Phenomenal.

Really?

Ten outta ten, no notes.

Better than Braemer's.

Which isn't saying much,

'cause Braemer's doesn't

have pumpkin ice cream.

That's true.

But if they did... that's it.

I don't know what to say.

No one's ever done anything

like this for me.

Happy Halloween!

Oh, my goodness!

Look at everyone!

You all look so great.

You guys look awesome.

Wow.

Nora. Where, uh...

where's your costume?

Oh, those are only for kids.

Yeah.

But you... you look great.

Thanks.

The tail is...

Yeah... it's growing on me.

I keep forgetting

it's back there.

I'm ready to be free

with these chains

hanging on me.

I'm gonna scream from

the mountain top

I used to feel pain

and now I feel alright

alright, alright...

Hey.

Well?

What do you think?

- Honestly?

- Yeah.

Best party I've been to

in years.

You think so?

I do.

But maybe I'm not the one

you should be asking.

Is this how you enjoy

your own party?

Usually, yes.

I'm just trying to make sure

everything stays stocked.

Well, do me a favor.

I just want you to stop

and take a look around.

'Cause you did all this.

I couldn't have done it

without everyone else.

I know, I know. But...

no one goes it alone and

achieves something great.

And you, and this inn,

are at the heart of it.

Take your moment.

Be where I wanna be.

I feel free.

Look at them.

Oh, we did that together.

Well done.

Well done.

This calls for

a little celebration.

'Cause it's not

a selfie wall until...

We take a selfie.

Be exactly

where I need to be

Let me do one.

Okay, yeah. I think that's

gonna be better.

Big arms. There we go.

Ok. Party is over.

Do you guys need any help?

No? Great. Okay.

Hi!

So, I kinda think tonight is

gonna be the talk of the town.

How's it going?

Well, I see ticket sales,

beverages,

but I don't see the final

number I was looking for.

You need to open another tab

to get into the expenses.

So, this is the moment of truth.

Okay. Should we close our eyes?

Did we do it?

Elise?

Well...

Everyone seemed to have

a really great time.

And, uh... they're already

talking about next year.

There won't be a next year.

We didn't hit the number

we needed.

I had an entire community

behind me, including you,

and still, we...

You did everything you could.

This is not your fault.

Thank you.

I should feel better that

attempting to do the impossible

was actually impossible. Right?

But I don't.

This is not how

I wanted to leave.

You know that.

I do.

It's not how I wanted you

to leave either.

New York's not far away.

Just far enough.

Bye.

I was so inspired

I came straight back from

Landover yesterday to prep.

Well...

when are we meeting

with Starfield?

Well, um...

the deal already went through.

What? When?

Last night.

I told them the deal

we agreed upon

was the deal we were

sticking with, and...

they signed.

That's amazing.

Congratulations.

- Thank you.

- Wow.

And thanks for reminding me

to trust my instincts.

This isn't easy for me to say.

But, um...

I don't know if

it's for forever,

- Mmhmm.

- But for right now,

I got the feeling you belong

in Landover.

You've put so much work into me.

I just don't ever wanna

disappoint you.

No.

You could never

disappoint me, son.

Lucas, I am so proud of you.

Actually, I think the only

thing that could ever

disappoint me is if somehow

I prevented you

from going after what

you want in life.

I love you, kid.

I love you, too.

Elise, I'm sorry I'm late.

That's fine. I won't take long.

You gave me the courtesy

of a meeting,

so I wanted to show up in person

and let you know that I

was aiming for 15 percent.

Thank you for coming.

Even with everyone's help,

I only landed at 13.7...

Elise... Elise!

You did something so much

better than just hit a number.

Here, let me show you. Look.

That is my son.

That's his wife and their

two daughters.

Look at them.

They called me, after 10,

just to tell me

the amazing time

that they had last night.

You have created more

excitement in one night

for this town than

any business in years.

I... I don't understand.

What are you saying?

I'm saying that you

proved me wrong.

You showed that you have

what it takes

to keep a place like Apple

Hill alive long term.

I'm telling you that we're

giving you the loan.

Congratulations.

Oh, thank you!

You're welcome.

Hey, come on in. Grab a spot

anywhere you'd like,

I'll be right with you.

Man, I've been thinking.

Hey, Luke.

Thought you went home.

And you know what happens

when I start thinking.

Oh, no.

Let's get right to the point.

Okay.

Let's go into business together.

I mean, I would love to,

but, uh...

hotels aren't exactly

in my wheelhouse.

Not the hotels.

I wanna expand the tavern.

Are you being serious?

Absolutely.

You know, the other day

when you said that

it might be difficult for

you to do it by yourself.

I was thinking, how much fun

would that be to do together?

It'd be a lot of fun.

- Yeah?

- Yeah!

You don't need time

to think about it?

No.

Candace! Amazing news!

All it takes is just one

moment to change everything.

To see that your dreams

are still within reach.

Well, this is becoming a habit.

Habits take around

28 days to form.

I think I've known you

for around...

let's see... carry the two...

I've known you for 12 days.

What are you doing here?

Well, it looks

like I'm on another

permanent vacation to Landover.

What about Bellwether?

I think I'm still gonna consult

with them from time to time.

The main focus is gonna be

to work with Jared

on expanding the tavern.

But I have to say, um... it's n

the only reason I'm here.

You are the reason.

Are you up for this challenge?

Do you mean being with you?

Mm-hmm.

I have never been more

up for anything in my life.

All it takes is to

let down your guard,

see life in a different light,

and open your heart

to the one person

you've been searching for

all along.

Hi.

- It's for you.

- It's for me.

Hey.

Do you like surprises?

- I wanna show you something.

- Ok.

Come here.

To the right.

Space Barge.

How did you...

I made Tony an offer

he could not refuse.

- Luke.

- Mm-hmm?

You love Space Barge, right?

I do.

Got quarters?

Two players?

- Let's go.

- Yeah.

You're lucky we're

on the same team.

Ready?

Yeah!

What? That should've been

the high score.

Who is... C, heart, N?

Who is that?

Yeah, um... Chuck and I...

We weren't really sure

how to tell you, but...

we're kind of the new champs.

Not without a fight, you're not.

Got more quarters?

Yes, I do.

And a kiss for good luck.

Bring me home

Game on.
