Aussie at Heart (2026)

Post by bunniefuu »

Not on my watch.

Look at this!

- Wow! It's perfect.

- Thank you.

My daughter is going to be

so thrilled Samara.

I'm so glad.

I will admit, I was surprised

when I heard that

you moved on from law.

Oh!

- You had quite a reputation

in the courtroom...

the one to beat.

And I know how proud

your father was

when you followed

in his footsteps.

I'm sorry, Nancy,

I appreciate that but...

I should get going.

- Oh, okay.

Guests will be arriving soon.

You have one new voice message.

Hi Samara, my name is Sophie.

I just sent in my resume

and wanted

to make sure you received it.

If you're ever in need

of an assistant planner,

I'd love the opportunity

to work for you.

Impressive.

Hello, Mr. Smith.

I wanted to follow up

with you about our offer

for partner at...

They called you again, huh?

Fancy.

I don't know about fancy.

Partner back in Seattle

sounds pretty fancy to me.

Yeah, well my life's here

in sunny Queensland.

You're never going to give up

on law fully.

We both know it.

Well, maybe not,

but it has to fit

in this version of my life

and right now...

it doesn't.

Hey...

now that Dad's better,

you know you can always go back.

You know how much he loved

talking about his eldest son?

The hotshot lawyer.

Well, I like

my work-life balance.

And only having to answer

to my younger brother.

Now come on, back to work.

We've got a sunset charter

arriving soon.

Liv!

Hey, I hope

it's not too late there.

No, perfect timing.

I just got home.

How's Australia?

It's warm, sunny...

kind of perfect.

Oh, that's so nice.

You deserve a break.

We all miss you at the firm.

Oh, not you too.

What?

I just did an event for one

of my dad's old colleagues.

First, she asked

if I was going back to law.

Then, she asked if I had

any other events booked...

besides hers.

Ouch.

Well, do you have

any other event clients booked?

Because I might

just have one for you.

Um...

Well, yeah, I have some

in a few weeks,

but right now I'm free.

What's up?

How would you feel about

joining me in Australia?

- Why?

- To help me finish planning

my parents' 40th wedding

anniversary trip in Queensland,

where they met and got married.

Liv, that...

that sounds incredible,

but isn't it next week?

It is.

But I've already booked a yacht

to trotter us around,

and all the rentals

are taken care of,

so I just need help

with the details

to make sure it all goes off

without a hitch.

I don't know.

Oh, and fireworks.

They're kind of a theme

in my parents' lives.

They've always thought

that fireworks were good luck.

Listen, I am flattered, but...

don't you want

someone local to do it?

I want someone

who I trust to do it.

I was thinking that we could

use my mom's old journals

and scrapbooks to recreate

their love story.

Please, Sam.

You're my best friend,

and I need your help.

And my brain does not work

like yours does.

I'm going to need a bigger bag.

Wow!

I'm going

port side to finish up.

Oh yeah, Billy!

I just got off

the phone with Liv.

She said the new event planner

should be arriving any minute.

Copy that.

You know what?

I'm actually looking forward

to the Langley Cruise.

It's about time.

Oh!

Oh, I'm... I'm so sorry.

You okay?

- Samara.

- Nate.

Uh...

Hang on.

Did you do that on purpose?

What? No, of course not.

Do you have any idea

how hard it was to find

and assemble all

of those flowers to...

Wait, wait, wait. Let's just...

just back up for a second.

What are you doing here?

- You're the...

- Event planner. Yes, yes, I am.

So that's what

you ran off to do.

Says the man who ran off

to another continent.

I didn't run.

Oh, hi!

Hey, you made it! Oh, come here.

Thank you so much for coming.

How was your flight?

Uh, it was long. Yeah.

Oh, so, uh, Nate is the captain

of the yacht

- chartering us this week. And...

- Of course he is.

And Samara is the event planner.

Event planner.

- Mm-hmm. Yeah, we covered that.

Making sure that this whole

thing goes off without a hitch.

Oh. What happened here?

A hitch.

Oh.

Well, one's not bad.

I know that this is probably

a bit of a shock to you both,

given your history.

But Nate, you're one of

the best captains in the area.

And your boat is

the perfect size for all of us.

And Samara, not only

are you my best friend,

but you're also

the best planner I know.

And I just want this weekend

to be perfect for my parents.

I know that you guys

have your differences,

but can you put them aside

for one week?

For me? Please?

- Yes. Of course.

- Yes. Of course.

Thank you so much.

Thank you, thank you.

Oh, and I have a ton of photos

and scrapbooks

for you to work with, so I just

popped them in your room.

Great.

Okay? Great.

Okay, I'm going to go and get

ready for the welcome dinner.

You two play nice.

Mm-hmm.

Yep. Mm-hmm. You got it.

I didn't expect Mr. By-The-Book

to end up on a boat.

I feel like something soulless

and boring

- would be a better fit.

- Yeah, well, event planning

seems to suit you perfectly,

because now you don't have to

answer to anyone but yourself.

And what is that

supposed to mean?

You know what that means.

Wow!

Would you look at this?

Oh!

It's like a Vince, Farrow

& Stone reunion.

- Michael.

- How are you both?

- Oh!

- Good to see you, Michael.

Glad the two of you

could join us

- for this week of festivities.

- Hi.

I got to say, when Liv told me

we were going to have the

pleasure of spending the week

with both of you,

I was a little surprised.

That makes two of us, mate.

Hello, Mr. and Mrs. Langley.

I am Nate Smith.

- I am your captain.

- Lovely to meet you.

- Peter.

- Peter.

Obviously, you know Samara.

She and Nate worked

at the firm with Liv and I,

but have since moved into...

other ventures.

Man, I love seeing you

following your dreams.

Liv has told me

so much about it.

Thank you so much

- for helping us out this week.

- Oh my God. Of course,

of course, of course.

Go, get freshened up.

Thank you.

I'll tell you what,

this is one heck of a boat!

Very exciting to spend

the week on this.

Happy to have you, Peter.

Okay, look.

Hey, I'm not thrilled

to be trapped with you

for the next week,

but we both got jobs to do,

so let's just do them, okay?

Okay.

- Good.

However, I must note

your energy is very not good.

My energy's fine.

Hmm, it's really not.

I could send you a meditation.

Don't need a meditation.

Okay, all right.

You do your captain stuff,

I'll make sure

this week is perfect.

I too will make sure

this week is perfect.

Because I have the itinerary.

Oh, about that,

I've made a couple changes.

- You can't change the itinerary.

- Oops, sorry, gotta take this.

I'll email you the update.

Hi this is Samara...

Can you grab my stuff?

Hi, my name is Samara Hughes.

I'm calling to organize

a fireworks display.

I've just sent you an email

with the captain's contact

information for approval.

But if you could call me back,

that would be great.

Thank you so much.

- This itinerary makes no sense.

- Oh, you got it.

We're gonna be sailing

in an odd pattern.

I know. The goal is to recreate

the summer that Peter

and Caroline fell in love,

so we gotta break a few rules.

Or we could literally sail down

the coast

from the Whitsundays

to the Gold Coast

in geographical order.

No, you see, their love story

wasn't linear,

so the trip can't be

linear either.

And to tell the truth,

all these...

these fairy lights here?

Navigation hazard.

They're gonna mess up

with our lights.

- Safety hazard.

- Oh.

And everyone should be wearing

non-slip boat shoes

in case we take on water.

Otherwise...

- Safety hazard.

- Safety hazard.

I got that.

Uh, you, uh, you wanna

suck the fun out of everything?

No, I just wanna

keep everyone safe.

Well, I think we can do that

without forcing everyone

to wear ugly shoes.

And fireworks? Not gonna happen.

Actually, Nate,

fireworks are the one

non-negotiable this week,

so they will be happening.

Really?

Mm-hmm.

I get that you're not great

at compromise,

but I got this covered.

Relax.

Thank you.

- Cheers.

- Cheers.

- Oh, thank you so much.

- Oh.

My pleasure. Enjoy!

- Thanks.

- Uh, no, thank you.

Come on, darling, have a glass.

Did you see?

Samara got the bottle

from the year we got married.

- Same vineyard too.

- Yeah.

I actually can't have

any champagne.

Are you okay?

Why?

Um, I mean, I do feel

a little bit nauseous right now,

but I am very jealous

of your champagne.

- It's a great pick, Samara.

- Can we get you something else?

We have that

Chardonnay you like.

Uh, no,

I can't have that either.

I'm pregnant.

- Oh!

- Finally!

- Oh, that's fantastic!

- Thank you, sir.

My little girl.

Oh, that's... that's

incredible.

I'm so happy for you.

Sit, sit. What do you need?

What can I do for you?

How can I possibly make

this week easier for you?

Well, I was meant to get those

anti-nausea bracelets.

Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

I've got a box in my bag.

I have ginger chews.

We will do research,

and I will see what else

you can possibly need.

You're the best.

Thank you so much.

Of course.

And about my baby shower.

Liv, I have been

mentally planning

that from the moment you told me

you guys were trying.

You are going to be a mom.

I'm going to be a mom.

I love you.

I love you too.

Sparkling apple juice.

I had 'em send over a bottle

just in case.

Oh, you really are the best,

aren't you?

Oh stop, thank you.

I think we should have a toast.

To the mother!

Ok folks, we just dropped anchor

and our first destination is

Spoonbill Cove.

You could have told me

he was going to be here.

- Then you would have bailed.

- No, I wouldn't.

Liv, I would do

anything for you.

Including trap myself on a boat

with Nate Smith for a week.

It'll be fun, I promise.

You focus on having fun.

I will handle the rest of it.

Fireworks and all.

You know what? I'm tired.

I'm so tired.

But thank you so much

for the seasick bracelets.

I'll see you in the morning.

Okay, love you, night!

Night, Liv.

Night, Nate.

Shutting everything

down for the night?

Yeah, I'm almost done.

Don't take too long.

I can't clock off

until all the guests

are in their cabins.

Does it ever get boring?

- What's that?

- Being so uptight all the time.

Oh. Rules are there

to keep you safe.

Rules are there to be broken.

No, they're not.

They should be kept.

Something you have

struggled with,

- if I remember correctly.

- You know what, Nate?

Let's make a deal.

I will follow your rules.

If I don't ruin any more

of your flower arrangements.

Yeah, and you let me put up

the rest of my decorations.

As long as they are compliant

with our regulations.

Deal.

Deal.

Uh...

can I show you

what I'm working on?

Sure.

Okay, it's for, um, the

vow renewal on our last night.

I'm doing this

"Decades in Details" display.

Showing the history

of their love story.

What must that be like?

To be with someone so long.

You get to see

every version of you.

I bet, it feels a lot like home.

I mean, think about it.

Having someone get a front row

seat to every part of your life.

The highs, the lows.

That is rare.

Yeah.

So, are you, uh, seeing anyone?

No.

- Are you?

- No. No, no.

You know, after Dad got sick,

uh, dating was

the last thing on my mind.

Yeah.

It was a tough

few months there, actually.

- How's he doing?

- Better.

Yeah, yeah, he's doing good.

Nearly back to his old self.

Good.

I bet he's happy

to have you home.

He is, yeah. Billy too.

Yeah.

But, uh, I actually think

they're both

getting a bit sick of me now.

Sick of you? How could that be?

They keep asking

if I'll go back.

- To the States?

- To law.

- Are you going back?

- Never say never.

- What about you?

- Um...

my dad keeps trying

to convince me to,

but it's a whole thing.

Well, I know you.

And you don't back down

from a fight.

You say that like

it's a bad thing.

Did I?

I'm pretty much done anyway.

I'll let you get some rest.

Good night, Captain By The Book.

Good night.

Dad, I hear you,

but I really don't have time

for a lecture right now.

Honey, I'm not trying

to lecture you.

I just love you

and I want to make sure

you've got a stable life.

Event planning can be

so feast or famine. But law...

Something you can count on.

I know.

I gotta go, Dad. I love you.

Samara.

Good morning.

Hi.

Take it your coffee order's

still the same.

- Cream.

- Oh.

- Two sugars.

- Thank you.

You didn't poison this, right?

What, like when we were

working on the Dunlawton case,

you mixed up the salt and sugar,

made everyone salty coffee?

Yeah, one of the most

embarrassing moments

of my career.

That salty taste

still haunts my dreams.

Okay.

Uh, remind me, the significance

of this beach again?

This is where Peter

and Caroline first met.

Ah, cool.

Yeah, yeah,

according to her notes,

she was collecting samples

for a study

on coral regeneration

when Peter,

a wild local dive guide,

showed up and thwarted

all her efforts to collect

anything usable.

They didn't exactly see

eye to eye.

- Classic.

- Yeah.

There's really sweet stuff

in here, though.

Check this out. Where is it?

Oh, here.

Where Peter held off

on saying I love you

until he could do it

with fireworks

sparkling over the city.

Or...

Where...

Oh, Caroline realized

she was in love with Peter

on a midday beach picnic

when he ran into the water

to save a child

who had gone out past the break.

- Really? Very heroic. Yeah...

- Yeah.

That's one of the moments

I want to recreate.

And the beach picnic.

And I want to set up

a treasure hunt.

Cool.

Would you like to see

the treasure?

I would.

I thought so.

Check it out.

Their favourite Australian

snack.

Nice. Lamingtons. I love these.

You know, you have, uh...

you definitely put

a lot of effort into this.

Hmm. I love my job.

- May I?

- Yeah, of course.

Okay. Hmm.

Oh!

Okay. Let's have a look.

- Oh, this one sounds familiar.

- Mm-hmm.

Where Peter was cooking

Caroline dinner,

nearly burned her apartment

down sauteing vegetables.

Yeah, yeah,

that reminded me of you.

Do you remember when you had us

all over for dinner after work

and you nearly burnt

your apartment down

trying to impress us

with that fancy French dish?

The cassoulet.

Yeah, we ended up

ordering pizza instead.

Oh, we had so much fun together.

- Yep.

- I'm so happy

for Liv and Michael.

- Me too.

- Yeah.

I know it hasn't been

an easy journey for 'em, but...

they're going to make

fantastic parents.

They really are.

Hey, I'm just going to drop

a stern line,

- just to reduce the swing.

- Yeah, nice one.

Sounds good, mate.

Uh, listen, why don't you, uh,

meet me back here in five?

- Yeah, yeah.

- And I will take you

- to shore in the tender boat.

- Perfect.

Okay. Ah. Here you go.

- I don't need this. I can swim.

- Oh, no. Boat rules.

Nate.

Samara.

- What was that?

- What?

A smile.

- There's no smile.

- No, there's definitely a smile.

No, brother.

It's just a beautiful day today.

Hmm. A beautiful day, huh?

All good, boss?

No, this doesn't look right.

Ah.

That's because you're

looking for Hidden Cove.

- That's further south.

- What?

Yep. It's just

a little dot on your map.

And, uh, not many people

know how to get to it.

I take it you do?

Depends.

- Trust me.

- Do I have a choice?

No. Come on.

You know, my parents

used to take us here as kids.

Only accessible by the water.

You see that reef out there?

Yeah.

As a diver, Peter probably

went there a hundred times.

Okay.

You ready to hide

that treasure, Captain?

Aye-aye.

Oh, it's so quiet here.

So peaceful.

I can go get a chair

from the boat for you.

You can put your feet up,

relax, enjoy the scenery.

Will you stop?

Come here,

check this out.

All righty.

Now, I reckon you can't

have a treasure hunt without...

an...

an X.

Marking the spot.

All right, I guess I'll go get

the gear from the boat.

What was it like

growing up here?

I had a love-hate

relationship with it, you know?

Billy and I found it

incredibly boring at times.

But...

I was playing a lot of soccer.

And I really wanted

to get a scholarship

to a U.S. university.

And then I got into Seattle.

Couldn't wait to leave.

Yet, here you are.

And here you are.

Touch.

I just can't imagine growing up

with this in my backyard.

I mean, come on, Nate,

this is so good!

- So is Seattle.

- Yes, yes.

I love it there.

Loved growing up there.

But?

I haven't travelled

nearly as much

as I would have liked to by now.

I think it's really cool

how much you get to see

and explore with these charters.

Yeah, but it's not my dream.

It's, uh...

it's Billy's. It's Dad's.

What's your dream?

To put down roots

and have mail that comes

directly to my house.

Maybe get a dog one day.

Call him Oscar.

Yeah, definitely get a dog.

Yeah.

Oop! Oh!

You all right?

- I'll get that.

- Okay, thank you.

- Come on.

- Okay.

Man, I've always thought those

two had a thing for each other.

I mean, what do they say about

love and hate being

the closest emotions?

I'm telling you,

they have something.

Even if they're both

too stubborn to admit it.

I know.

I mean, I just wish

that they could see

what they have right

in front of their faces.

What they have

is really special.

Maybe there is a way.

There are

five sandwiches in here.

I only ordered four.

That's because I got the kitchen

to pack an extra one for you.

- Oh.

- You gotta eat too.

Thank you.

- Oh, no.

- What? What's up?

I'm trying to find something

special for Caroline and Peter,

but no luck. I'm usually

so good with presents.

Oh, I remember.

I still have that, uh,

engraved wine opener

you gave me

at that office Secret Santa.

What?

That was supposed to be

a gag gift.

Well, joke's on you,

because I use it all the time.

It says, "By-The-Book, Esquire."

I know.

Oh.

- And I love it.

- You do?

Yeah.

I'm glad.

So here is to 40 years together.

And we will see what tomorrow

will bring as well.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Fireworks to be launched

from the back of the boat.

Did you get my email

with the captain's contact?

Okay, well, it needs to be sent

to him for approval.

Thank you.

That treasure hunt was so cute.

- Oh, I'm so glad.

- Made me a bit misty.

Maybe it's the pregnancy

hormones, who knows?

I mean, look at all of us, right?

Who would have thought?

On a beach in Australia is about

as far from a boardroom

in Seattle as you can get.

Good.

Listen, I know that things

aren't easy, but Nate is...

Is responsible for the

biggest mistake of my career.

We never should have

lost that case.

Before that, I thought that

you guys made a great team.

You saw things one way

and he saw them another,

allowing you both

to come together and create

- something really beautiful.

- We were just co-workers.

You were also friends,

and that counts for something.

And that necklace he gave you

never comes off.

I wear it because I like it,

not because it has

anything to do with Nate.

Hmm. Yeah, sure.

You, it's enough. Stop.

- Oh, yeah!

- Samara! Liv! Come join us!

Um, I should make some calls.

Come on, we insist.

- It'll be fine. Come on.

- Okay, okay.

Nate! You two,

we can't play

with uneven numbers. Come on!

Come on.

Go. I'm going to start mapping

the route for tonight.

- You sure?

- Yes, absolutely.

Come on, live a little.

For once.

All right. All right!

All right, for teams, we have

Peter, Caroline, me, and Liv,

- Nate and Samara. Let's go!

- Yep, yep, get the ball.

Okay.

Mom, Dad, you go first.

- Okay.

- Okay.

Whoa.

No, no, no, no.

Whoa, way too stiff.

No, it's in the elbow.

No, it's not, it's in the wrist.

- Yeah, that too, that too.

- Okay. May I?

If it's going to help us win.

Well, you know

how I feel about losing.

- That I do.

- Okay, here.

Just relax. And...

like that.

Nate, you're up.

Okay.

But if this doesn't work,

I'm going back to my way.

All right, okay.

Oh.

So good.

Oh, that's a point

for Nate and Samara.

- You're a good teacher.

- Thanks.

We need a rematch.

- Oh, yeah. Absolutely.

- Oh, yeah.

Okay, one more game

before dinner.

So, Nate and Samara,

you're obviously in.

Excuse me, miss.

Do you have permission

from the captain

to be out here so late?

No.

Sorry.

It's just, um...

I was taking a minute.

- What's your excuse?

- Same.

Just taking a minute.

Billy's on watch.

- Ah.

How's everything going?

- Yeah, so far, so good.

- Good.

I love it out here at night.

When it's so clear.

One of my favourite parts

is looking at the stars.

- May I?

- Yeah.

That's my favourite

constellation.

The Southern Cross.

Yeah, I've heard of it.

I've never seen it before.

Well...

it led sailors

due south back home

to safety without fail

every time.

Can you see it?

- No.

- It's just... it's right there.

That big one.

And then there.

There, and there.

Makes a cross.

It's beautiful.

Yeah.

Reminds me there's always

a guiding light.

Somewhere out there.

Better go check on Billy.

Don't take too long.

Hey!

I don't know how you concentrate

with that music blaring.

Helps me focus.

- Tunes everything else out.

- Good for you. Hand it over.

Yes, boss.

Another offer?

Yeah.

- What time is it there?

I don't know.

Middle of the night.

They're getting creative.

Hey.

You know, Dad would understand

if you ever wanted to go back.

- Billy.

- I'm just saying,

I don't want you hiding out here

because you think we need you.

Oh, thanks, mate.

You're being offered a

partnership in a big law firm.

There's a lot to consider...

Alright, hold on tight Caroline.

I'll get everyone

else to the tasting. Enjoy!

You sure?

I cannot taste

seafood or smell it

or even hear the word oyster.

- How are you feeling?

- Horrible.

You know,

we should stay here, yeah?

We'll go to Sky Lounge.

It's steadier up there.

You should go.

I mean, after all, you had

the owner revive the menu

from on the dad's first date.

Yeah, as much as we'd love

to try the famous oysters.

I'm not leaving you behind.

Okay, good luck.

Mm-hmm.

What do you think you're doing?

I'm going to shore

for the tasting.

- By yourself?

- Yeah.

I was going to wear

a life jacket.

No, no, no, no, no.

I'm coming down.

Oh.

Follow the rules.

What do you mean?

It's a tidal crossing

with a shifting current.

You can't go alone. Boat rules.

Well, I need

to get to shore, so...

Well, you're just going to have

to wait for Liv or Michael.

They're not going.

Liv's too sick.

Sorry. Can't do it.

You take me.

Well, that worked well.

Okay, come on.

Let's go and get ready

and head to shore.

I'm not missing out on lunch!

I cannot believe

how many dolphins there were!

Yeah, hopefully we see

some more on the way back.

They were pretty playful

in the afternoons.

Ah.

Should I just text you

when I'm ready to leave?

Oh, actually, I thought

I'd stay and give you a hand.

Boat protocol.

Right.

Hey, did you ever go

whale watching in Seattle?

Uh, no.

Well, if you ever find yourself

back there,

I'd love to take you.

I think you'd like it.

Yeah, yeah, it's a date.

Not a date-date,

just a, you know...

It could be a date.

You want to go

on a date with me?

- Well, I didn't say that.

- You kind of did.

You said it could be a date.

I meant it could

be a date for you

and someone else,

not necessarily me.

Right.

You following?

Yeah.

- You must be Samara.

- Thea?

Hi! Oh,

so nice to meet you.

Thank you for doing this.

Anything for Peter and Caroline.

Do you mind

showing us to our table?

Oh, of course, come on.

Oh.

Oh, they're so young.

Why six settings?

Just in case Liv and Michael

end up making it.

Oh, whatever you think

is best, boss.

Ah, no.

Yeah, it's... it's fine.

It's lopsided.

- I'm gonna go grab the others.

- Yeah.

And for the record,

they look exactly the same.

Okay, all right.

- I like your necklace.

- Oh, thank you.

An old friend gave it to me.

Apparently, Samara

in some translation of Latin

means seed of the elm.

I guess he thought

that was funny.

Or very thoughtful and Nate.

He seems lovely.

You two make a lovely couple.

No. No, we are not a...

Mm-hmm.

That's what Caroline said too,

and look at them now.

Thank you.

- Yeah.

Hi.

You made it!

- Whoa!

- Shout out to ginger juice.

I knew you were

going to make it! Get in Here!

So, this is where it all began.

Oh, yeah, technically, yes.

But, um, first time I was here,

I was in such a bad mood.

That is not how I was expecting

the story to start.

I had missed my bus and I'd lost

all my research notes and...

Peter insisted that,

that night was the night

that we had to go to dinner.

I hadn't even been here

five minutes

and he spilled an entire glass

of lemonade down my back.

Uh, in my defence,

it was a rogue wave.

We were on land.

I admit, he was handsome.

- Was?

- Well, is, darling,

- is.

- Well, that's better.

I thought he was reckless,

careless and entirely unserious.

And I thought she was brilliant

and terrifying

and utterly stunning.

Aw, I think we argued

for the first half

of the evening

about coral bleaching.

No, as I recall, it was

a spirited discussion

about proper

anchoring technique.

And he made it

up to me the next night

by bringing me back here

to the very same restaurant

and asking me

for a first date redo.

And I was so charmed...

I couldn't say no.

I was supposed to

go back to the States

at the end of the summer.

And I was supposed

to follow my tropical dream...

dive guiding in paradise.

No more plans

other than the next tide.

We didn't fit.

Oh, love isn't about

fitting neatly.

It's about deciding if someone

is worth adjusting.

- Cheers to you both.

- Oh, thank you.

Oh.

Cheers.

- Cheers.

- Cheers.

This table has history,

just like this food,

from our summer of 1985

seasonal menu.

I thought you took the crispy

noodle salad off the menu.

I did, but someone called

with a special request

that I just couldn't say no to.

Ah, that's the thing

about history.

You don't always recognize

the most important moment

when you're in it.

And sometimes,

it's not until later

that you realize that,

that was the day

that everything changed.

Okay, everybody, let's eat.

Yeah.

- Beautiful salad here.

- Yes, please.

- Oh yeah!

- Thank you.

Well, thanks for going with me.

Oh, just doing my job.

Have you heard from that

company about the fireworks?

Uh, no, not yet.

That worries me...

I remember this.

It's been a long day.

Yeah, a long day.

See you, Captain.

See you, boss.

Hi, this is Samara Hughes.

I'm just following up

on the fireworks.

Have the plans been sent

to the captain yet?

Okay, if that could be

taken care of, that'd be great.

Thank you. Bye.

Look at them.

They are so in love.

Well, they've really

put in the work.

They woke up every day

and chose each other.

No matter what.

And some days, it's hard, but...

it's always worth it when

it's with the right person.

Yeah, I don't know

if I'll ever find that.

Well, I bet you will.

Or maybe you already have.

Are you talking about...

You're talking about Nate? No.

Oh, we've been best friends

for over ten years.

I can read you

like a book, my girl.

You, like you always have,

have a crush on Nate Smith.

- I think you should tell him.

- Not gonna do that.

Why not? No, if

you say one more word

about that silly little court

case that you two lost...

It was his fault.

You're giving him

too much credit.

Hey, if you're

asking for my advice...

Which I'm not.

I would tell him.

What? No good is gonna come from

you holding on to this grudge.

It's been years.

You need to let it go.

You're right.

Okay.

I'm gonna go and get changed

for the hike.

I thought this track was closed.

Oh, I called.

Explained that

you proposed here.

Turns out the park ranger

is a hopeless romantic.

You know, there's

a waterfall at the lagoon

at the end of this hike.

Yeah, great place

for a first kiss, eh?

Or a millionth.

Oh! Oh!

Are you okay?

- Oh, I'm good. I'm good.

- You doing okay there, boss?

- Yep. Yep.

- Yeah?

- Yeah, yeah.

You sure?

Mm-hmm.

Oh, my goodness.

I think we must be

getting close now.

As long as you're fine.

Yeah, yeah. I'm good.

Don't worry about me.

Alright, well don't be

so clumsy next time.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Oh.

Right there. Right there.

Do you see? Those trees?

Yeah.

Eclectus Parrots.

Wow. The... the male's green.

The female's red and blue.

And they look so different.

The scientists thought they were

different species for years.

Why do they look so different?

Well, the theory is the male's

green so he can blend in

and guard the nest,

and the female's

red and blue, bright...

so she lets others know

the tree's taken.

That's sweet.

He hides to protect their home

and she lights up to claim it.

Yeah, opposites attract.

You know,

it's their different strengths.

That's why it works.

Sorry, did you say

opposites attract?

Uh...

- maybe not always.

- Yeah, huh?

I actually think it's cool that

you're following your passion.

Event planning,

not hiking, obviously.

Yeah. Thank you.

That actually means a lot.

You ever thought about scaling?

Because I looked at your stuff

online on social media.

- It looks good.

- Yeah. Yeah.

I have a bunch of events

coming up.

It would be nice

to have some help.

Hmm.

- I received this

fantastic resume

before I left. Sophie.

I just worry about letting go.

Yeah, I know that feeling.

So what would it take

for you to meet her?

Well, my dad still thinks that

leaving law was a mistake.

How could anyone look at what

you built and call it a mistake?

I don't know. You're biased.

You've been trapped on a boat

with me for too long.

No, no, no.

What you did was brave.

Most people would not have

the courage to go at it alone.

You did.

No, no, that's different.

I had to come back.

- My family needed me.

- Ah.

And, uh...

I think Billy is ready

to go at it alone.

He told you that?

No, but I know my brother.

He probably thinks

I'd call it reckless.

Well...

No, the truth is

I'm proud of him, you know?

He's the kind of guy

that he knows what he wants

and he just goes for it.

I wish I had

that kind of clarity.

You know, I... I've just spent

so much time in corporate law

and so much of my life

just trying to...

Nate, stop.

You're thinking about it

like it's a math equation.

It kind of is a math equation.

No, it's not.

In 40 years from now,

if someone were to ask

you how you spent your life...

what would you want

your answer to be?

Uh, we should catch up.

Oh, wow!

Guys, I thought we'd lost you.

Come and take a look at this.

Come on you guys!

Come on.

Morning, Peter.

Oh, Nate. Come and join me.

- Uh, sure. Thank you.

- Yeah.

Not bad, huh?

- Oh, no.

Oh, great service.

I mean, to get the daily paper

delivered on a boat

in the middle of the harbor,

I mean, it doesn't get

much better than that, does it?

Oh, that's all Samara.

She's, uh, she's thought

of everything.

Yeah.

I used to think I'd spend

my whole life on the water.

It's the only place

I wanted to be.

- What changed?

- Oh, when I met Caroline.

Everything.

She put things

into perspective for me.

Made me realize

what I wanted out of life.

Well, I think you two

are very lucky.

Luck? That's to do with

putting in a lot of hard work.

We had to overcome

an entire ocean to be together.

Although I almost lost her.

Trying to hang on

to my life here.

Then I realized

I was in love with her.

When you meet someone

who makes it all worth it...

you do everything in your power

to hold on to it.

Even if it means

moving continents.

What if it didn't work out?

I mean...

what if it doesn't work out?

Son, you can't look

at everything

like it's already failed.

Maybe not.

But risk management

is one of my strong suits.

Enjoy.

Sometimes our greatest strengths

are also our biggest weakness.

Bye. Love you.

Bye.

Bye. Have fun. You too. Be good.

Bye.

Bye.

Okay.

Hi, this is Samara Hughes.

Again, I'm calling

about the fireworks.

The plans still haven't been

sent to the captain

and we are running out of time.

If that could happen

by the end of the day,

at the latest,

that would be great. Thank you.

Hi, my name is Samara Hughes.

I'm calling to inquire

about a motor barge

that could potentially

launch fireworks

from the harbor tomorrow night.

I... I know it's last minute,

but I need to make this happen.

- Hey.

- Hey.

I, uh, just looked

at the itinerary.

With the family going

to see Peter's friends,

- you have the day off.

- Oh, no.

I mean, technically I do,

but I still have to

finish the Decades

in Details display

and find a gift

for Peter and Caroline.

I hear that.

Uh, but we could also boycott

all responsibility today

and I could take you

on an adventure.

- Where?

- Well...

it's ancient.

And, uh,

you can see it from space.

And we are literally...

standing on it right now.

Sort of.

It's underneath our feet.

Are you talking about

the Great Barrier Reef?

Great Barrier Reef.

Oh.

- What do you say?

- Who are you

and what have you done

with Nate Smith?

Well, um...

I don't know.

You kind of inspired me.

Unless it's going to get in

- the way of your work.

- No, no. Just help me finish

the display when we get back.

Asking for help?

Who are you and what have you

done with Samara Hughes?

- Oh, Stop.

- Come on.

- You know, I've been thinking.

- Yeah?

About what I want

the next 40 years to look like.

And?

And...

- I want to get back into law.

- Okay.

But this time on my own terms.

You know, the kind that

actually makes a difference.

I don't want to do cases

handed down to me

by some higher up.

- I want to work in non-profits.

- Oh, Nate.

That's fantastic.

Anywhere in particular?

I was thinking

a youth advocacy group.

Sure. I, um, something

like The Barlow Project?

Yeah, exactly. You know?

Kids need structure.

- I thrive on structure.

- Yeah, you do.

Could be a good fit.

Wait. My dad's friend

is on the board over there.

I could reach out

and put in a good word for you.

- Oh, no. You don't have to.

- I want to.

For all your help this week.

Uh...

- thank you. All right.

- You're welcome.

That really means a lot.

Hey, um...

I know, uh...

things at work

ended badly between us.

- Uh, whoa. Whose fault is that?

- And...

Well, you wanted to put an

unreliable witness on the stand.

- You told me he checked out.

- I told you it was inconsistent.

He was the only witness

who could place

our client at the scene.

- We needed him.

- We needed someone reliable.

We needed someone

to back our client.

I know. Which is why

I spoke to him again

- the night before the trial.

- And?

And his timeline

was completely wrong.

- He said he mixed up the dates.

- That's not what he told me.

- When did you speak to him?

- That afternoon.

He remembered

exactly where he was.

You know the problem, Nate?

You pushed him

- until he doubted himself.

- We have to vet

every single client

before we put them on the stand.

That is the number one rule.

Oh my god.

You're so focused on the rules.

- You never take any risks.

- I was trying to protect us.

I'm sorry.

I didn't.

I didn't see it like that.

- We just see things differently.

- Exactly.

Which is why

we make such a good team.

But you have to trust me...

For what it's worth, I didn't...

I didn't think you were wrong.

I just thought you were taking

a huge risk.

And I didn't know

how to control it.

That's it.

And I'm sorry too.

For everything.

You have changed

since coming home.

Oh well, it's a journey.

But I am on my way.

Yeah.

Will you promise me something?

Anything.

The next time we see things

differently, we work it out.

- Okay.

- Okay.

Gosh.

So they had a good time?

Oh yeah. They had a great time.

And thanks for the playlist,

by the way.

My parents were singing

off-key to every song.

Wait till you hear the one

I made for the party.

Oh. Great.

So, uh, any word

on the fireworks?

Yeah. I, uh,

I found this company.

They seem great. Safe.

Only problem is they haven't

emailed their plan to Nate.

But I have a backup plan.

Harbourmaster has already

approved. We're good.

We will have fireworks.

Okay.

Look at that pod of dolphins...

See there...

So what did you get up to today?

Uh, we went snorkelling

and we talked.

Oh yeah? About what?

About our case.

- The beginning of the end.

- Yeah.

But if that hadn't

have happened...

I might not be here with you.

Life works out

exactly as it should.

Hmm.

- Ready to clock in, mate.

- Uh.

All right.

Hey, are you sure

you don't have another excursion

you want to take?

With Samara?

Just showing her

a good time while she's here.

Yeah, sure.

You're not enjoying spending

time with her at all, are you?

Well, I didn't say that.

You haven't stopped smiling

since she got here.

This is the happiest

you've been since you got back.

I'm happy all the time.

Hmm.

I'm not complaining,

this is the most

you've ever let me captain.

And guess what?

The world didn't explode.

Turns out

old Billy can do it, huh?

What are you talking about?

You're captain every day.

- You're at the helm every day.

- Yeah.

Only if you're too busy

or tired.

But if you're here,

you have to do it.

I'm just saying...

it's nice to see you relax

for once.

And I think

she's really good for you.

Hey, you know I'm not

a little kid anymore, right?

I can handle more

than you give me credit for.

I know.

Look, Billy...

when it comes to the business,

if there's anything

you want to discuss...

- I'm here.

- Yeah?

Okay.

Now that you've mentioned it,

you got a sec?

Sure.

Hi, Dad.

Hey, honey.

How's your day?

Good.

Actually got a game

of golf in today.

Did you win?

- I did indeed.

What's up?

Um, I was actually

calling on behalf

of a former colleague of mine.

He's interested in working

for The Barlow Project.

He is meticulous,

detail-oriented.

He's a really nice guy.

The Barlow Project?

I'm good friends

with Jim Remington.

He's on the board over there.

I'll tell you what.

You take a meeting with him.

We put a good word in

for your friend.

See if we can't make this

a win-win for everybody.

I mean, I can, but I would

only be taking the meeting, so...

Great. I'll get it all set up.

I'll give you a call tomorrow.

Bye.

Can I have

your attention please.

Members of the Langley party

we've just arrived

at our destination.

The fabulous Gold Coast.

Close your eyes.

I got a surprise for you.

- No peeking. No peeking.

- Okay, okay! Okay! Okay.

- They're closed.

- All right.

Open in three, two, one.

1985, the year Peter

and Caroline met.

Collector's item.

This could be your special gift.

Nate, this is perfect.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

I'm happy you like it.

Hmm, um.

How did you get this here?

You took the jet ski

out alone, didn't you?

- Well, I am the captain.

- Aye, aye.

- So how can I help?

- Okay. So each board

is going to represent

a decade of their lives.

We have the '80s,

where they met, got married.

'90s, where they had Liv.

The 2000s,

where they grew their careers.

And the 2010s, where they

travelled the world.

I have pulled as much

as I can from these.

Huh.

They look so happy.

I know.

Well, I mean,

it's like Liv says.

They woke up every day

and they chose each other.

Oh, I'll have to have

that one day.

You will.

I, um, I spoke to my dad

about The Barlow Project.

He's going to put in

a good word for you.

Just send me your resume

when you can.

Thank you.

What?

I don't think I realized

how ready for a change I am.

- Yeah.

- You know, I've been

captaining my family's boat,

but it never really felt

like mine.

It's Billy's.

He's good at it. So passionate.

I guess I... I just, uh...

I wasn't ready

to let go of the reins.

The wheel?

Yeah, the wheel.

But now dad's doing better.

Billy's ready to take on

more responsibility.

Yeah, I think I'm ready

for the next chapter.

So, uh...

thank you for...

helping make that happen.

My pleasure.

You have to remember...

lead with your heart,

not your head.

Well, I didn't realize my heart

had a say in the matter.

Your heart always has a say.

You just have to be

brave enough to listen to it.

Um, Samara.

This week, it's been...

I know.

Should we add some

glitter to the '80s?

- I love glitter. Let's do it.

- I know. Here.

Samara Hughes, how are you?

Mr. Remington, I'm good.

How are you?

Things are busy, as I'm sure

your father has told you.

Our firm is hiring

and we're looking for

someone exactly like you.

Oh, um, I'm sorry, I... I think

we have our wires crossed.

I only took this call so I could

referee for my friend,

Nate Smith.

He would be perfect

for this job.

To be clear, I am no longer

working in law.

Your father

said you might say that.

I'll tell you what.

I'll have my assistant

send over the specs for the job.

See if that changes your mind.

I appreciate that, but I am

very sure of my decision.

Well, thank you for your time,

Ms. Hughes.

Bye.

Oh, these are gorgeous.

Wait, are these

our wedding flowers?

Yeah, I wanted to create

a similar backdrop

for the vow renewal.

They were delivered

just this morning.

- You're amazing.

- Oh, thank you.

You know,

back in Victorian times,

people used flowers

to communicate secret messages.

Did they?

Yeah.

A yellow rose meant friendship,

white carnations meant love,

and pink carnations meant

"I'll never forget you."

What did these mean?

Well, we chose those

very carefully.

You know, when

I first met your father,

I knew he was giving up

a version of the life

that was expected of him

to be with me.

You know.

His life was here,

his dreams were here,

and yet he chose

to give it all up,

move across the world,

and build a life with me.

And I wanted the flowers

on our wedding day

to express just that.

So we had...

sweet pea for devotion,

and ivy for marriage,

and red and white roses

combined to signify unity.

Along with a few dahlias.

- To signify...

- A lifelong bond.

Exactly.

And here I was just thinking

that they were pretty.

No, I handpicked

these carefully...

to tell what I thought

was going to be the story of us.

You know, love is like

any other story.

It can always have

a happy ending

if you let yourself choose it.

Caroline, what about these?

What do they signify?

Purple hyacinth.

Nope, I could never remember

what they meant.

Sorry.

Hello?

Hello, I'm calling

for Nate Smith.

Yeah, speaking.

Hello Mr. Smith.

I'm calling on behalf of Jim

Remington of The Barlow project.

We've received your resume

and he would like to schedule

an interview for you,

where he's a non-profit, The

Barlow project

Uh, that is fantastic. I've been

looking forward to your call.

Oh,

you're Mr. Hughes' friend.

That's funny,

we usually don't take

two candidates

for the same referral,

especially for

the same position.

Sorry, uh, not following.

You two must be very special.

You and Samara Hughes, I mean,

for Mr. Remington

to meet with you both.

Anyway, can we set

something for later today?

Sorry, did you...

did you say Samara interviewed

for the same position?

I'm sorry I cannot speak

more about other candidates.

He has a cancelation

in a few hours.

Does that work?

You go take a break, mate.

No, I'm... I'm all good.

I'm fine.

Billy, give me a moment.

What's going on?

Nate...

just got an interview

for The Barlow Project.

Wait, that... that's fantastic.

Congratulations.

Samara just interviewed

for the same position.

She what?

Yeah.

Hello?

Hello, Nate Smith?

Speaking.

I'm just calling to go

over everything

for the firework display

tonight,

launched from your boat.

- Our certified license...

- No, no, no, hang on.

Uh, fireworks from the boat,

that is against every rule

in the book.

But Samara Hughes said...

- No,

that is not going to happen.

Cancel that order.

You pitched me

for a legal position?

This is a fantastic

opportunity, Samara.

I know that, Dad,

but it's not for me.

I get that this is hard

for you to understand.

But event planning

is my dream job.

I love it.

It makes me happy and I am

actually really good at it.

I'm asking you to respect that.

I'm asking you to respect me.

Samara, I...

I really do respect you.

I'm sorry I haven't shown that

and pushed so hard for you

to go back into law.

But it's just...

You want what's best for me,

I know.

But I never want you

to feel disrespected.

You are an amazing woman...

and I am lucky

to be your father.

I love you, Sam.

I love you, Dad.

Hey, um...

maybe we could grab lunch

when I get back.

I'd like to show you

some of my world.

And I think it might help you

understand me a bit more.

I'd like that.

- Go get them, kiddo.

- Okay, bye dad.

Hey.

Hi.

You can't launch fireworks

from my boat.

What do you mean?

Did you speak to them?

- It's not safe.

- That's not my understanding.

It's not going to happen,

Samara.

- Nate, please.

- It's the rules. End of story.

I told you that on day one.

Wait, what?

What do you mean? Do you...

do you have another barge?

Um, no, no, it's okay.

I'll... I'll figure something

out. Thank you.

Um, you good?

Uh, no, not exactly. Um...

Nate cancelled

my private fireworks display

and then the backup motor barge

that I booked just broke down.

So I need to find another barge

to launch the fireworks

before curfew.

Okay, all right.

Let me talk to Nate.

You know what? Is he okay?

He's being extra weird.

Look, it might have

something to do

with you interviewing

for his dream job.

At The Barlow Project.

I didn't interview for that job.

- You didn't.

- No, of course not.

Well, I mean, Nate thinks that

you tried to go behind his back

and take the job out

from underneath him.

Billy, why would I do that?

I was the one that put him up

for that job.

This has been

a huge misunderstanding.

My dad, he, uh...

I gotta find him.

I gotta make this right.

And I gotta find another barge.

Samara,

guests are starting to arrive.

Great, I will be one second.

Wait, where's the music?

- Right, right.

Got the Bluetooth.

One second. Ah. Very good.

And the fireworks?

Fireworks are a, uh,

they're a work in progress.

Samara, fireworks

have to happen.

- And they will.

- They're important

- to my parents.

- Yes. Uh-huh.

Thank you very much. Really,

really good to meet you all.

Okay, bye-bye.

We need fireworks.

Absolutely not.

Hey, hey, hey.

You care about Samara.

Don't you?

You just have to hear

her side of the story, mate.

I... I love you.

But man,

do you step in it sometimes.

What do you mean?

She didn't try

to steal your job, Nate.

There was a mix-up.

She's the reason

they're considering you

in the first place.

And then you just went

and blew it.

Blew what, Billy?

You blew it by

cancelling her fireworks.

Her one non-negotiable.

And instead of talking to her

and trying to work it out,

you shut her down

and completely ruined her event.

Nate, her backup

was a motor barge

and now it's broken down.

Samara's out there running

around like a mad woman

trying to find someone who can

get out here before curfew.

You were so quick to judge

that you might have

let the best thing

that's happened to you in years

slip through your fingers.

If you care about Samara

like she clearly cares

about you...

you need fireworks.

Oh, you look perfect.

Thank you.

Are you ready?

- Yeah.

Let's do it!

Gosh.

40 years ago today,

I said I do...

to my favourite person

on the planet.

And 40 years later,

I'm happy to say

he's still my favourite person.

Being married to you...

has been nothing

short of an adventure.

And I can't wait to see

what the next 40 have in store.

No, no, no, not yet.

You have to do yours.

Oh yes, of course, right.

Thank you.

You're beautiful.

And I'm so pleased.

I took the leap

and crossed the world to...

build a life with you.

You made every single dream

I never even realized

I had come true.

I love you, Caroline Langley.

I love you.

Can I have that kiss now?

Let's go.

To 40 more.

To 40 more.

I cried more

than the first time!

What was their

favourite food in the 2000s?

- Oh, easy, pizza.

- Theirs, not yours.

It was theirs too, see? Look.

What was our

favourite song of the 1990s?

I don't know.

Where did you find this one?

Um...

This one is really sweet.

Yeah, tonight, as in, um...

basically right now.

That's fair enough,

uh, thank you.

You got a replica

of their wedding cake?

- How?

- Um...

you see that box

in the corner there?

I tracked down that bakery.

Turns out they're still

in business. So...

- Have you had any yet?

- No, no.

Oh, you absolutely must.

It's some of the best

I've ever had.

And I think my parents

would agree.

Um...

Liv, there aren't going to be

any fireworks.

I'm so sorry.

I don't know what else to do.

- I have tried everything.

- No, no, no, no, no. Hey, stop.

This week has been perfect.

That's what I thought.

But Nate and I, we just...

Stop with that too.

Hey...

I know that you're afraid

to let him in.

But he's really good for you.

What's it going to take

for you to see that?

Uh, remember

in Caroline's journals,

she had a meaning

for every flower?

Uh...

Purple hyacinth.

She could never remember

what these meant.

I'm sorry.

I messed up.

I wasn't trying

to take that job.

You understand that, right?

I know.

Actually, I have

an in-person interview

over at The Barlow Project

next week.

In Seattle?

Yeah.

You know, if this week has

taught me anything, it's, uh...

I don't want to lose you again.

In fact, I would break

every rule in the book.

Just to be with you.

I don't really know,

what to say.

It is no secret that...

we see things differently.

I think we always have.

But...

I was hoping maybe we could

agree on one thing.

What's that?

This doesn't end here.

It's not going to.

- Did you?

- Yeah.
