[music fades]

[melancholy music playing]

[door closes]

Dana Sue, when are we gonna talk?

After you sit back down and take stock
of all the times you made me wait

because what you had to do
was more important than listening to me.

[melancholy music fades]

Erik, um, Helen and I were talking

about a way
to memorialize her father at the wedding.

Hmm. Yeah, we discussed his picture
on a small table near the altar.

Well, if you don't mind,
I have a different idea.

Please.

Towards the end,
my beloved Ben lost so much weight,

he was worried his wedding band
would slip off and get lost.

So he gave it to me for safekeeping.

He knew he wouldn't be here

to walk you down the aisle
when the day came, sweetheart.

But he wanted you to know
that he is here in spirit.

[sentimental music playing]

Wearing his ring on a chain

puts him right next to your heart,

to remind you every day

how much he loves you
on Earth and in heaven.

Thank you, Mama.

And Daddy.

[Bev] Erik, I've got something for you.

This is Ben's Sunday watch.

Zeke has the everyday one.

Ben wanted Helen's husband
to have a special one,

to remind him that every second
with those you love is precious.

[Erik] Thank you for the privilege.

You two keep
the Decatur legacy of love alive.

- [Helen cries]
- [Bev] Okay?

We will, Mama. [chuckles]

We will.

[sentimental music fades]

"We're excited and ready
to move forward with your deal."

"Would love to send the deal to Javi too."

"Let me know.
Can't wait to work with you again."

Jodie sounds excited.

But you do not.

What do you think?

What matters is what you think.

Do you wanna do this?

I want to.

But I don't need to.

My life is full and wonderful,
and I don't wanna put any of it at risk.

Sure, building a team would be great,

and if I may say so,
I think I'd be amazing.

And I'm sure Javi's a good guy.

I'm just… not sure
that we're the best match.

Maybe Javi needs coaching
from a great coach

to, you know, be a team player.

As someone who's been helped
and e… even inspired

by how you… you see the heart of a problem

and then lead people,
including me, to an answer,

I know you can get Javi
where you need him.

- [emotional music playing]
- Thank you, sweetheart.

Come here.

I always wanted to be a good son,

and my dad and I never got there.

But now…

I have a good son.

That's far more important.

[emotional music fades]

Hey, partner.

I was hoping I'd find you here.

[Clark] Oh, yeah?
You think I'm not working hard enough?

Hoping you're working just hard enough.

Pace yourself for the journey ahead.

You and your friends are setting the pace.
I'm trying to keep up.

[Dana Sue chuckles] Time for
a quick break?

Cannoli.

Sweet, this time.

Thank you. But why?

I have been standing
in a lot of empty spaces lately,

wondering how the future will fill them,

and when I am facing big decisions,
it helps me to cook.

The world makes more sense
when I can break it down

to ingredients and temperatures
and predictable outcomes.

You're an amazing woman, Dana Sue.

Oh, I don't know about that. [chuckles]

Come on, the fire,

your daughter off to school,
going into business with an old rival…

[chuckling] Damn, that last one.
Boy, howdy!

Any one of those
would send most people to their beds.

A quilt over their head
and a good pour of bourbon in the tea.

- Hmm.
- But not you.

Standing tall, moving forward.

I don't feel very tall right now.

But… thank you.

You know what I remember most
about you in high school?

That I beat you?
That I was an excellent class president?

No, I worked to forget that.

[Dana Sue laughs]

But even then, you knew who you were,
and you still do.

It's not only admirable, it is enviable.

Hmm.

And, look, I know we haven't been friends,

but we're going to be friends,
so I hope it's okay for me to say so.

I appreciate it.

Truly.

Just to be clear,
I'm not gunning to be a Magnolia.

Hm.

But it is my hope that there is always
room in life for another friend.

Especially when you're standing
in an empty space.

Thanks for stepping in.

[sentimental music playing]

You cracked open that tequila yet?

[Dana Sue chuckles]

I made margaritas with Helen and Maddie.
They were impressed and grateful.

We didn't use the whole bottle.

Let me know
if you need help finishing it off.

[sentimental music fades]

Where's all this doubt coming from?
You're home base to this whole game.

If you say no, it all falls apart.

- I don't know how you can let him risk--
- Javi. Javi, slow down.

I'm not saying "no."

Cal, Javi,
you are both amazing at what you do.

And I hope that you're not allowing
your past to cloud the future.

I appreciate that.

But if we go forward,

Javi and I need to have
a clear understanding of how it works.

Rules and discipline.

I've changed since you knew me, Cal.
Maddie, I told you, I got a family now.

We want this to be a good experience
for you and Anya and your daughter

and for our family.

And for our town.

I asked a lot of people I love
to believe in this dream, Javi.

Do you remember Minneapolis?

I remember.

- And whose fault was that?
- That's not fair.

I didn't say it was.
I asked whose fault it was.

If we're not on the same page,

if we don't believe in the same things,
want the same things, we can't do this.

[soft, dramatic music playing]

It was my fault.

Then why didn't you say so then?

Because I was an immature punk

who couldn't take responsibility
for anything but my batting average.

And can you tell me
Minneapolis will never happen again?

Don't answer me now.

Think about it.

Talk to Anya.

Then call me.

I don't know. Maybe… maybe this
is… isn't the right time.

Oh, sweetheart.

People can't help you get what you want
until you tell them what you want.

- [car door opens, closes]
- Okay?

- Okay.
- That's my girl.

- [door opens]
- [whispers] Oh, there they are.

'Cause it's hot when I make it.

[chuckles]
Well, I'm looking forward to it.

Jess. Helen.

Dad. Uncle Erik.

Aunt Helen suggested that I talk to you.

Okay.

Being here in Serenity has made me realize

I wanna change my path.

- Excuse me?
- Hang on.

I still want to get a business degree.

But I'd like to try
a lighter, broader schedule

so I can explore other disciplines
and be a more well-rounded asset

to the company… and to the family.

And I'd like to be doing this
at a school in or near Chicago

so I can be closer to home
while you and Mom figure things out.

Are you two behind this?

This was completely Jessica.

[soft, dramatic music playing]

Okay. I was gonna say thank you.

But let me

thank you first, Jess, for your honesty.

Look, I… I know
I've been demanding, strict, and…

We were raised in a house
where love came wrapped in strength,

pride,

determination.

And I'm so sorry, Jess, if in raising you,

I focused more on those
than on gentleness and joy.

[soft, dramatic music fades]

Because I do love you.

- [sentimental music playing]
- I love you too, Dad.

And I want to honor the Whitley way.

But in my own way.

You let me know how I can help.

Okay.

You know, the two of us wouldn't have
gotten here without the two of you.

One good turn.

It's family at its best.

[sentimental music fades]

I'm not trying to get you involved,
but it would help me to talk this through.

- Of course. I want--
- [doorbell rings]

I want to get rid of whoever this is
so we can discuss this.

Mads.

Lucas.

Southern hospitality probably frowns
on people just dropping by, but…

We're always ready to welcome friends.
And you're Maddie's former boss?

Lucas, this is my husband, Cal.

Welcome to Serenity.

What brings you here, Lucas?

I heard from a fairly dependable source

that you're in conversation
with Cycnus Press

about a novella collection
with Nell and Stacy

and, uh, someone else.

Beatriz Barrera.

Right, right.
And I came to congratulate you.

You came all the way
to South Carolina for that?

I prefer to do business in person,

especially when it's something
as time-sensitive as this.

May… may I sit?

Is there time?

I may have been hasty
in some of my dismissals of your ideas.

Stop talking to Cycnus,
bring this project to me,

and we'll discuss more ways
that we can shake up this space

as soon as you come back to New York.

Lucas, are you offering me
my old job back?

Or are you offering me a new, better deal?

I am offering you whatever it takes
in salary, perks, and creative freedom

to come back
and work with me again in New York.

You don't have to do that.

Really? Ha! Wonderful.

Because you had your chance
to be in business with me,

and you blew it.

So, as we say here in Serenity,

bless your heart.

[quirky music playing]

Thanks for stopping by.

Goodbye, sir.

[Lucas sighs softly]

[quirky music fades]

Was that vengeance?

Better.

Leverage. Validation, even.

I am so proud of you

and slightly scared of you.

You'd be great
at negotiating player deals.

I am sorry he interrupted us.
Let's get back to talking about the team.

No. Do you wanna do what Lucas does?

Treat people like dirt?

I meant the publishing part.

Mm.

I want my bookshop
to help me build my network.

To connect great writers
with people that will help them.

Maybe start a small press.

I'm not sure,
but I know I wanna do it from here.

From home.

[inspirational music playing]

Then let me tell you, Alice.

I believe… Wonderland is wherever you are.

- [Noreen] Not even a teeny one?
- I will have a full slice when I get back.

- [music fades]
- You sure you don't wanna play basketball?

My odds of victory are greater here.

This is your ceremonial last game
as a single man for Erik.

It would be bad form for me
to come show him up.

Great. Then I will go play poorly
on everyone's behalf.

You feel that?

Feel what?

Everyday life.

This?

The simple moments
that just happen along the way

and become special because you took
the time to notice, to remember.

I started doing it with Bex, and now
I try to do it with all the people I love.

Stop a second and take in the beauty.

Be present and be thankful.

Exactly.

Thankful for all of you.

Right back at you.

Now, go crush some egos,

and I will try my best
to save you a piece of pie.

Try?

If I come back and there is no pie left,

I will be forced to take strong measures.

No!

- Oh! Thank you.
- Ooh!

Looks pretty good.

I wanted a small wedding
to focus on the people I love most.

[chuckles]

And the reason
that I wanted a post-wedding brunch

rather than a rehearsal dinner

was so I could spend tonight
with just you two.

Oh. [chuckles]

You both have so many people
at your houses,

and it was my turn to host anyway,

so I thought it would be fun
to come back here.

We should ask Cal and Erik
to install a doorway

between Sullivan's and Common Language
so we could flow back and forth

between the two places
whenever we need to.

[Dana Sue laughs, inhales]

Here's to our last Margarita Night
before we are all married women.

[all laugh excited]

[Maddie and Helen] Pour it out!

[Helen laughs]

Dana Sue.

Mm-mm.

Mm-mm.

If we're gonna pretend everything's fine,
this isn't even a Margarita Night.

You know there's nothing we can't discuss,
no matter the occasion.

Well, here's what I would like
to discuss tonight.

What will be different going forward?

[tearfully] Will anything change this?

- Of course not.
- [emotional music playing]

No matter the rabbit hole,
we will find a way.

Besides, I'm not afraid of change.

[Maddie] Mmm.

Not when I have you two
to love and… and guide me.

Even if the Mad Hatter
really feels mad sometimes?

Well, he also says…

[clears throat] …"I'll tell you a secret,
all the best ones are."

And Alice would tell you
to trust the way forward.

It's no use in going back to yesterday,
because today I'm a different person.

Whatever is going on,

you're not alone.

Okay? In this or in anything.
Cradle, the grave, and beyond.

Yeah.

[Dana Sue sniffs]

In that case, let's have a party.

- Okay.
- A party.

- A celebration. An adventure.
- [Helen chuckles]

How about a wedding?

[emotional music builds]

Mom's not answering either.

[emotional music fades]

- [knocking on door]
- [door opens]

Pastor June asked me to check in.

How's everyone doing?

Y'all need anything?

We're good. Thank you, Harlan.

Okay.

Maybe we should call their hotel.

I can check the church grounds.

- [phone keyboard clicking]
- [text message sent tone]

You want me to talk to Jessica or Helen?

No. No, I don't want either of them
to know my parents are late.

I don't know which is worse.
Thinking there's a problem or thinking--

Don't say it.

I'm so nervous.

And I'm not even the bride.
I may pass out on my wedding day.

When we get up there,

don't lock your knees,
and remember to breathe.

And… and make sure you stay hydrated
so we don't have to worry about fainting.

Oh, no, we don't wanna be worrying
about using the restroom

while we're in our dresses.

- [all chuckle]
- [Helen] Ladies.

[all gasp]

Oh.

Oh, poor Neville.

Oh, thank you.
I hope he feels better by the reception.

I love coming to weddings here.
And remembering my own.

Oh. I wanted to get married outside
at night, under the stars,

but Walter insisted on a formal wedding.

And, um,

it was beautiful.

Mm. The shoulder pads in my dress

could've supported
the whole wedding party.

[all laugh]

I hate to be the one to say it,
but I can call the sheriff.

Or the ER.

- What do you wanna do if they--
- [door opens]

Mom. Dad. Where you been?

- Are you two okay?
- Oh, everyone's fine now.

- "Now"?
- Keith, didn't you text them?

- You said you did.
- Somebody please tell me what's happened.

Your mother had an accident.

- What?
- Honestly, Keith.

Boys, I spilt on my dress.

I, uh… I shouldn't have tried
to take that last sip of coffee,

but one splash and my dress was ruined.

Your mother remembered
Jessica speaking highly of Wally,

so we called him.

As happy as I am to be of assistance
in this hour of need, Chef,

I didn't have
anything quite as understated

as what your lovely mother was wearing.

We had to go bolder.
I hope you don't mind.

I even put Father in a bolder tie
and pocket square

so Mother wouldn't feel conspicuous.

[Wally] Hmm.

Wally, how can I ever thank you?

When the people compliment you
at the reception,

remind them you got your suits from me.

Now, I must go sneak a peek
at Helen's dress.

We're all good here?

- [softly] No.
- [Keith] Oh.

Sorry we were late.

I'm glad you were only late.

What else would we be?

You don't really think we wouldn't show?

[knocking on door]

June says it's time.

Thank you, Harlan.

I…

[gentle music playing on piano]

["Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring"
playing on piano]

[softly] Here you go.

[June] My dear siblings in Christ,

we gather together in the sight of God

and this beloved community

to witness the union
of these two incredible souls.

"Above all these things, walk in love,

which is the bond of perfection,

and let the peace of God
rule in your hearts,

to which also you were called
in one body, and be thankful."

[June] Helen and Erik
will next exchange their vows

and invite all couples to join hands
and consider their own vows.

[loving music playing]

Helen.

You've taught me so much
about living with an open heart,

loving with faith and conviction,

and never shying away
from a righteous fight.

[Helen and crowd giggle]

I vow to love you forever

but also to learn from you forever.

[loving music builds]

Erik.

I vow to spend eternity

finding fresh and surprising ways

to show you my commitment

to our growing constantly together
as partners.

I delight in you as a friend.

I admire you as a leader.

And I benefit from your artistry
as a chef and a potter.

[both laugh]

We fought our way to each other.

And now…

I will never let go.

By the power vested in me by Almighty God

and the state of South Carolina,

I now pronounce you husband and wife.

You may seal these vows with a kiss.

I wanna hold you even tighter,

but that might make it impossible
to dance.

[Helen laughs]

Well, just remember to grab me every day.

Did you ever doubt tonight would come?

[Helen] Hmm. Hm.

Once, twice, maybe more.

But love is stronger
than doubt or fear, and…

So here we are.

And that's all that matters.

Sorry I couldn't hold your hand
during the ceremony.

I felt it anyway.

But will you hold my hand now?

Believe in him

while I believe in you.

Sometimes you have to hold hands and jump.

As long as you're holding the proper hand,
it'll all work out.

I don't mean any disrespect
to Aunt Helen and Chef Erik,

but… tonight has me thinking
about the future.

It's fine. I think weddings have
that effect on people.

Is this a good time to say

that I think my path
might be turning in a new direction?

As long as it's not turning away from me.

[chuckles] Well, will you still love me
if I'm not an actor?

Will you still love me
if I'm a costume designer?

- [both chuckle]
- Wait, how did we switch places?

So, what do you wanna do?

I might wanna be a therapist.

Oh.

I see it.

Big heart, deep understanding
of characters and people.

A gift for helping others.

Makes complete sense.

And of course, so does yours.

[both laugh]

I can't wait
to explore the future with you, Kyle.

[loving music fades]

Congratulations, Aunt Helen.

Oh, thank you, Luke.

You've grown up so fast.

We're gonna be dancing at your wedding
before I even know it.

[Helen laughs]

I'm cutting in, son.
Go dance with your sister.

Mmm. Thank you. [chuckles]

[soft music playing]

I don't wanna be mushy,
because you're gonna make fun of me.

That's my job as your sister.

[both chuckle]

It's a beautiful wedding.

Thank you.

That wasn't so hard, was it?

- That wasn't the mushy part.
- Okay. [laughs]

I, uh, want you to know
I was prepared to crush any man

who wasn't worthy of you, but

Erik is safe.

[Helen] That was mushy?

No, let me finish.

Okay.

You held tight to your dream
until it came true.

That's why, more than being happy for you,

I'm proud of you.

Mushy.

Mushy.

Mushy.

Yep.

- [both laugh]
- It was.

All I've ever wanted was
for you to be safe and happy.

Thank you, Mom.

I'm both.

Friends may join the family now.

Let's dance, Serenity.

[all cheer]

Hey, Howie.
Patient seems to be doing well.

- I'm a little embarrassed.
- He'll be fine.

Sorry we missed the ceremony.

Yeah, well, you're just in time for this.

Uh, Carla, would you forgive me
if I made your husband and our friends

talk business for a second?

You may have a full minute.

Thank you.

I just talked to Jodie.

The investors

want to come tour Serenity next week
and start talks on the new team.

- Wait, what?
- Ooh! How wonderful!

I'm just so excited for all of you.

[all chuckle]

- Well, apparently I'm interested.
- Yeah.

Yes, I'm a team doctor.

I'll run concessions.

I'm so in. Like, when do we start?

Uh, not tonight, but maybe tomorrow.

Let's celebrate, sweetheart.
Come dance with me.

[Howie] Yes, sir!

Cal asked me to work with him

Babe, I'm so happy for you.

- [microphone feedback]
- [Keith] Good evening.

[music stops]

Usually, when I introduce myself
to new people,

I lead off
with who I am in the business world.

And tonight…

I understand what a poor choice I've made
in defining myself that way.

So, Serenity,

I am pleased to meet you.

I am Erik Whitley's father.

[sentimental music playing]

This is the first time my wife and I
have been to your beautiful town,

and we regret that.

Erik is so much more than my son.

Our son.

A father can be slow in realizing that,

which I also regret.

But tonight, we want to thank Helen

and Serenity for helping us see Erik
in a new light.

The beautiful light

in which the world sees him.

Bev, would you like to come up
and say something?

No, because everyone here knows that I am
the mother of the best child in Serenity.

- Yes, she is.
- And outside of Serenity.

- Be quiet.
- [Bev chuckles]

I'm proud of you, son.

I love you, Dad.

Love you too.

[all applaud]

[sentimental music fades]

My parents

have inspired me many times.

And tonight, I'm inspired
to make, uh, an impromptu toast of my own.

I came to Serenity as an outsider.

I was welcomed and loved.

[chuckles]

And now I call it home.

So here's a toast

to everyone who came from outside.

[all cheering, applauding]

Okay, that was beautiful,
it was beautiful,

but I can't let it go unanswered.

Here's to everyone who has been blessed
by being born and raised in Serenity!

[all cheering, applauding]

Yeah!

Yeah!

- Beautiful.
- [Cal] Friends.

The cutting of the cake,

as only Chef Erik and Chef Isaac
could envision.

Are those Erik's brownies?

Yeah, I was beginning to worry
we wouldn't get any.

[Henrietta chuckles]

[emotional music playing]

[both chuckle]

Oh my.

[all applauding, cheering]

My fine kitchen family.

Helen and I deeply appreciate
your willingness

to attend the wedding in this way
and for your serving in style.

Congratulations and best wishes
from us all.

And, Isaac,

we don't even know where to begin.

[emotional music swells]

You and Lily
make such a sweet couple tonight.

You and Michael are pretty impressive too.

Thanks.

So are you happy?

So happy. You?

More than I could ever say.

And even happier
to be sharing all this with you, bro.

Me too, bro.

What are you two talking about?
Can I do it too?

We're talking about growing up.

I already did that.

- Oh, thank you!
- [Kyle and Isaac laugh]

[Maddie] Okay, so, have you decided
when you're going on your honeymoon?

Oh, once everyone gets settled.

- Lord in heaven, you'll never go.
- [Helen laughs]

Maybe we'll have to surprise you.

Okay, well, suggesting Margarita Nights
in Tahiti will give it away.

- [Maddie] Oh, it sounds amazing.
- [Paula and Iris laugh]

[Iris] That's my favorite.

Iris.

I am so grateful to you
for both my dresses.

Did we hear travel talk
when we came up here?

Might have been.

Well, perfect, because Paula and I
are planning an outlaws road trip.

- Oh.
- [Paula] Maddie.

- Plan your child care accordingly.
- Yes.

Skoal!

Skoal.

Are you taking applications for stowaways?

- Yes.
- Sure.

- Erik's toast was great.
- Mm.

I… I didn't technically grow up here,
but Serenity is one of my favorite places.

Now even more so.

Even though we're both leaving,

I hope our migratory paths
will cross again somewhere.

I can't wait to get out into the world
and do important things.

But the closer it comes
to packing my bags,

I'm… suddenly worried whether I'm ready.

- It's just adrenaline.
- You mean butterflies.

[both laugh]

Exactly.

Maybe we're never ready,
but we trust the wind.

We go and… and learn along the way.

So it's okay to leave?

You're not asking me, are you?

Maybe.

Annie, no man worth his salt
would tell you what to do.

[inspirational music playing]

Chart your own course.

Fly to where you'll be fed.

[Cal] Hey, everybody. [clears throat]

- [inspirational music fades]
- [Cal] It's me again.

It's time for every eligible individual

to come to the center of the dance floor
for the bouquet toss.

Are you participating?

My godmother
will not forgive me if I don't. [laughs]

Yeah.

[cell phone ringing]

[cell phone continues ringing]

[Annie chuckles]

What a beautiful party!

[chuckles] Thank you.

Don't hurt anyone, Mama.

Don't you worry about me.

Those are the mamas
you have to worry about.

No! This one.

No!

Watch it.

[women clamoring]

[applause, cheering]

You better do the right thing
now that I gave up the bouquet.

[disco music playing]

Do you like the brownies?

They don't measure up to the pecan pie,

but they're, uh, pretty good.

Well, that ranks right up there
with hearing you say I love you.

I love you too.

Will you… move to Serenity?

Is this a proposal?

I am proposing that we talk about
both of us being here together

and where that might lead.

Thank goodness.

Because I already talked to my boss.

She says, since I'm on the road so much,

I can choose my home location.

I pick Serenity.

Because I pick you.

[disco music builds]

In church, when June said
all the couples should hold hands…

I saw you.

We don't need new vows.

We need a new beginning.

We have been patching things over
too long.

And the deeper I dig into my action plan,

I… I realize I…
I wanted to always stay busy

so the broken things could flow by me.

Dana Sue, that's not--

We have been glossing over rough spots
since before we even separated.

And if we are gonna build a marriage
that is true,

that has a chance of lasting,

then we need to take it down to the studs.

I'll do whatever it takes.

I know what I need to save
and what I need to cast aside.

[melancholy music playing]

I'm not there yet.

So I'm gonna tell Ruth
that I need an apartment for just me.

And you can talk to her
about what you want.

And we can talk to Annie later,
not tonight.

Wait. Are you leaving me?

I don't know yet.

♪ You send me with
That look in your eyes ♪

♪ And pretend that…♪

You talk about
the young men at the restaurant.

- Hmm.
- Look at your girls.

Mm. They're wonderful, aren't they?

- Yes.
- [Helen chuckles]

And you should be very proud.

We're good at this.

What if

we foster teenagers
as our children of the heart?

Excellent plan.

Hm.

Beautiful plan.

[Helen chuckles softly]

[exhales] Just because we finally
had our honeymoon

doesn't mean
the honeymoon phase is over, right?

Of course not.

You already promised me a sequel.

[Cal] Hm.

Can we act like goofy kids
who just fell in love

while benefiting from the wisdom gained
from facing challenges together

for the rest of our lives?

Cal.

That's what marriage is.

♪ Yes, I'm all the way in love ♪

[Bailey] Miss Maddie?

♪ With you ♪

Hmm.

[jazz music ends]

God bless you, Bailey.

["Many the Miles"

Gotta go.

[Maddie] Psst.

- ♪ I've been given this one world ♪
- Hey.

♪ I won't worry it away… ♪

I had Bailey do a three-county search
for the finest, most expensive tequila.

So these margaritas are going to be
magnificent and memorable.

All margaritas are memorable
with the two of you.

Except the ones
from the nights where I remember nothing.

[all laugh]

I will remember this night forever.

Not just because it's my wedding…
but because my best friends got me here.

Uh, ditto.

I would not be where I am
without the two of you.

Amen to that.

We three went out into the world,
and we all came back home.

May we always come home.

And may we always pour it out.

[chuckles]

[all] Pour it out.
