00:00:00You've been bad to you've been good You've been bad to you've been good
00:00:28β™ͺ No, you're wrong
00:00:31β™ͺ But I've been prayin' since you've been gone
00:00:34Hey, Dad.
00:00:36Voila.
00:00:37What's this?
00:00:38Eve's greenhouse experiment is burying avocados,
00:00:40so I thought we could try to expand
00:00:42the breakfast items again.
00:00:43With avocado toast.
00:00:44On German dark bread?
00:00:45I-I think that's a great compromise
00:00:47between my desire to have healthy, organic food
00:00:50and your desire to never, ever, ever
00:00:52change the original menu.
00:00:53No, thank you.
00:00:54Dad, try it.
00:00:55Molly, we've been over this
00:00:57As long as I own the diner and I'm the head cook,
00:00:59we're sticking to the menu your mom put together.
00:01:02None of this foofy stuff.
00:01:04Did I mention it's on German dunkelbrot?
00:01:06I don't care if it's on a Bavarian pretzel.
00:01:09We're not serving avocado toast.
00:01:12I love avocado toast.
00:01:15Well, then, here you are, Aunt Gert.
00:01:17Mmm.
00:01:18Gadzooks.
00:01:22Mmm.
00:01:23See, Aunt Gert likes it.
00:01:25Yeah, well, she'll eat anything.
00:01:27I'm a woman of the world, Martin.
00:01:29Oh, and I guess women of the world
00:01:31don't pay their own tab.
00:01:32At my family's restaurant?
00:01:34I think not.
00:01:36This really is to die for.
00:01:38Tell that to Grumpy Cat over there.
00:01:40He's still refusing to change the menu
00:01:42even the slightest bit.
00:01:43Ugh.
00:01:44You just wish.
00:01:45What?
00:01:46I don't know.
00:01:52I'll get the mail.
00:01:55I got it. Stay to the griddle.
00:01:58Here you go.
00:02:05Is this what I think it is?
00:02:07I'm taking care of it.
00:02:10Not the IRS.
00:02:11Lolly, I know he doesn't say it much,
00:02:14but he's really lucky to have you.
00:02:16You keep this place running.
00:02:18Well, we're running all right.
00:02:20To where? I don't know.
00:02:22Order's up!
00:02:25Honk, honk.
00:02:29That's a pretty sad face
00:02:31for a kid who's going on a Grand European vacation.
00:02:33Because I want you to come with us.
00:02:35I know, baby, but we talked about this already, remember?
00:02:38But I still don't understand.
00:02:40The hockey season's over.
00:02:41The Blue Jackets won't need you until next season.
00:02:43You're right, Sammy, but your mom and I
00:02:45just decided that it would be better
00:02:47if it was just the two of you that went.
00:02:49And I'm gonna see Grandma and Grandpa in Minnesota,
00:02:52and then, when you get back,
00:02:54you and I are going up to the Boundary Waters.
00:02:56We're gonna go hiking, we're gonna go fishing,
00:02:58we're gonna see the new cabin.
00:03:00I know that it's been very hard on you
00:03:03since your mom and I split up.
00:03:05I get that.
00:03:07But that does not change the fact
00:03:09that she and I love you very much.
00:03:12And it's okay to be sad that I'm not gonna be there,
00:03:15but it's also okay to have a lot of fun.
00:03:18Can you try and do that for me?
00:03:20Yeah.
00:03:21Okay.
00:03:23All right, give me a hug.
00:03:26I'm gonna miss you every second that you're gone, okay?
00:03:30Okay.
00:03:31I love you.
00:03:32Love you, too.
00:03:33Take a million pictures.
00:03:34I will.
00:03:42What in the world?
00:03:44Yes, I know, he's the one
00:03:48What are these suckers doing in my freezer?
00:03:50Oh, he's been giving me her extra produce
00:03:52from the market stand.
00:03:53I've been experimenting.
00:03:57You seem to be liking them.
00:03:59It doesn't matter whether I like them or not.
00:04:01What matters is that these are taking up space
00:04:03in my deep freeze.
00:04:04Well, maybe we'd have more space in your deep freeze
00:04:06if you didn't order so much cod from Tommy's Seafood.
00:04:08Yeah, it was supposed to be a half order.
00:04:10You ordered double.
00:04:11You gave me a good price.
00:04:12We have too much.
00:04:13I'm sending it back.
00:04:14He's had a real hard couple of months, Lola.
00:04:16He needs the money.
00:04:17So do we.
00:04:18We can freeze the extra.
00:04:19We'll have the room if you clear out
00:04:21those ice pops in there.
00:04:23You seem to be clearing them out just fine.
00:04:25But don't eat them all.
00:04:27I'll eat as many as I want.
00:04:39You love your family.
00:04:40They don't drive you up the wall.
00:04:42You love your family.
00:04:43You wouldn't change a thing.
00:04:44You love your family.
00:04:46You love your family.
00:05:06Hi, Ronnie.
00:05:07Hey, Mom.
00:05:08Oh, honey.
00:05:09Hey.
00:05:10Oh, hey.
00:05:11Who's, uh, who's this?
00:05:13This is Kirby.
00:05:14Oh.
00:05:15He's very, he's very cute.
00:05:16He's got a lot of energy.
00:05:18We're fostering him until he finds a place.
00:05:20Is that so?
00:05:21Dad's already smitten with him.
00:05:22We took him up to Knutson's cabin
00:05:23up at the Boundary Waters.
00:05:24And he just loved exploring up there.
00:05:26He should.
00:05:27He's a dog.
00:05:28You might enjoy spending some time
00:05:29with him while you're here.
00:05:30Dogs have a way of making everything better.
00:05:32Maybe with a little bit of, uh, training.
00:05:35Oh, come on in.
00:05:36OK.
00:05:37OK.
00:05:38Come on in.
00:05:39Come on, man.
00:05:40Lolly still lives there, you know.
00:05:42Yeah.
00:05:43I assume as much.
00:05:44Yeah, maybe you two should
00:05:45catch up while you're in town.
00:05:46I'm sure I'll bump into her
00:05:47here and there.
00:05:48Yeah.
00:05:57Now these are greenhouse-grown avocados.
00:05:59My very first harvest.
00:06:00I hope you like them.
00:06:01Mm-hmm.
00:06:02Hi.
00:06:03Hi.
00:06:04Hello.
00:06:05Ooh.
00:06:06What you got in the cooler?
00:06:07Some cold beer.
00:06:09You wish.
00:06:10No, I made ice pops
00:06:11from the extra produce you gave me.
00:06:12What?
00:06:13Let me see.
00:06:14Ooh.
00:06:15Can I try one?
00:06:16All you can eat.
00:06:20Strawberry and lavender?
00:06:23It's one flavor.
00:06:24I got more in there.
00:06:25Well, it's heavenly.
00:06:26Do you want to try to sell them?
00:06:27You think people will buy them?
00:06:28I was just going to give them away at the diner,
00:06:30but my dad made me clean out the deep freeze.
00:06:32Do I dare ask how the avocado toast conversation went?
00:06:34Nine-nine, Froylo.
00:06:35I'm sorry.
00:06:36I'm sorry.
00:06:37I'm sorry.
00:06:38Nine-nine, Froyline.
00:06:39Even on German bread?
00:06:40Even on German bread.
00:06:41Well, I guess you're not going to be ordering
00:06:43any of my greenhouse avocados, then.
00:06:45I wish.
00:06:46I'd have an avocado palooza if I had my own restaurant,
00:06:49but at this rate, I guess I never will.
00:06:52You okay?
00:06:53You seem a little not your sun-shiny self today.
00:06:57Ignore me.
00:06:58I'm doing some soul-searching.
00:06:59While you're searching,
00:07:00why don't you take some more of that excess fruit
00:07:02and keep these bad boys coming?
00:07:04I can do that.
00:07:05It's been fun to make.
00:07:06Keep my mind off the craziness for a bit.
00:07:08Now, would any of this craziness have to do with
00:07:11the perennial return of a certain neighbor?
00:07:15I don't want to talk about it.
00:07:17Okay, I will take my foot out of my mouth
00:07:19and replace it with this delicious popsicle.
00:07:22Join you.
00:07:23Here.
00:07:26Hey.
00:07:27Hi.
00:07:28How do you like the old room?
00:07:29Oh, it's nice.
00:07:30I really love the country bed-and-breakfast vibe
00:07:32it's got going.
00:07:33We could put up your old Kirby Puckett posters
00:07:36if you want.
00:07:37Yep, we named the dog after him.
00:07:39I understand, Mom.
00:07:40All right, well, we're headed off to happy hour
00:07:43with the Ginses.
00:07:44Hey, do you want to come along?
00:07:45You know, you guys go have fun.
00:07:47I think after the long drive,
00:07:48I should probably get out and stretch my legs
00:07:50and go for a walk.
00:07:51Uh-oh, you said W-A-L-K.
00:07:55That means you're gonna have to take him with you.
00:07:57I have to take him with me?
00:07:58Please, honey, it would really help us out.
00:08:00Just swing by Eve's produce.
00:08:02He loves to get the treats there.
00:08:04Okay.
00:08:07Right.
00:08:14Hi.
00:08:15Hello, hello.
00:08:18Oh, my goodness.
00:08:19I-I am so sorry.
00:08:21He must have slipped his harness.
00:08:23He's just not very well-trained.
00:08:25Molly.
00:08:26Rory.
00:08:27Hey.
00:08:28Hi.
00:08:29You're here, you're back.
00:08:31Unless you're a hologram.
00:08:33Not a hologram, okay.
00:08:34No, I'm not a hologram.
00:08:36Great.
00:08:37So...
00:08:38Whew.
00:08:39You, um, stay at your parents' house?
00:08:43Yeah, yeah, I am.
00:08:44Um, where I usually stay.
00:08:45Right.
00:08:46Um, but we were just talking about
00:08:48the, these dog treats here.
00:08:52I hear they're amazing.
00:08:53Kirby loves them.
00:08:54Are they good?
00:08:55I'm not a dog person or a dog.
00:08:57Yeah, they look really good.
00:08:58Great, awesome.
00:08:59Uh, well, I gotta run,
00:09:02because I gotta, I have to take a nap.
00:09:04But it was great seeing you.
00:09:06Uh, okay.
00:09:07Uh, Rory.
00:09:08Yeah.
00:09:09Oh.
00:09:10Something's never changed, huh?
00:09:12Okay.
00:09:25Ooh, I saw that.
00:09:27Do you want to talk about it?
00:09:29No.
00:09:30Yes.
00:09:31I don't know.
00:09:32Are you okay?
00:09:33No, I mean, he barely wanted to talk to me.
00:09:36He just recently got divorced.
00:09:37He probably just feels awkward.
00:09:39Definitely was awkward.
00:09:40But of course it was.
00:09:41I mean, the last time we had an actual conversation
00:09:43was this huge blow-up and then the break-up.
00:09:45Then he didn't get closure.
00:09:46I mean, how could I?
00:09:48The only time I actually run into him
00:09:50is in the summer or during Christmas holidays,
00:09:52and he's always with his wife and kid.
00:09:54I'm sorry, that's really tough.
00:09:56Honestly, it wouldn't be so bad
00:09:57if he hadn't become some successful doctor
00:09:59for a professional hockey team,
00:10:00and I'm stuck in the exact same place I was when he left.
00:10:04Rory Shaw, the one that got away.
00:10:06He somehow keeps coming back to remind me.
00:10:08You know what?
00:10:09It feels like a box of wine
00:10:11and tortured poet kind of night.
00:10:13No, I got to go back to the diner and do paperwork.
00:10:16On a Friday night?
00:10:17This is my life, Eve.
00:10:18Well, what about tomorrow?
00:10:19We can, uh, you know, put on some sweatpants
00:10:21and have a fun day.
00:10:22My sister wants me to help clean out the attic,
00:10:25my mom's stuff, which has been there, by the way,
00:10:28since he passed,
00:10:29but for some reason Daphne has to do it tomorrow.
00:10:31Okay, I'm just gonna shut up and give you a hug.
00:10:35Oh.
00:10:38It's okay, buddy.
00:10:39It'll be okay.
00:10:47There's nothing in here.
00:10:49Uh, maybe we could find her old tap shoes up here.
00:10:52Oh, gosh, that would be awesome.
00:10:54Oh, look who I found!
00:10:57Oh, my gosh, nipples!
00:10:59I haven't seen this guy in ages.
00:11:01Probably because this place is like
00:11:03the witness protection program for old memories.
00:11:05Ergo, our cleaning it out.
00:11:07Yeah, but why now?
00:11:09Uh, because it's got to get done,
00:11:11and you and I both know that dad is never gonna do it.
00:11:14That's true.
00:11:16Oh!
00:11:20What secrets does this hold?
00:11:22Oh!
00:11:24I made it in seven minutes.
00:11:26You made it in seventh grade.
00:11:28It's just talk about NSYNC and Orlando Bloom.
00:11:30Yeah, see, I was more of a One Direction kind of girl.
00:11:32That ages me.
00:11:36Jeez, you were a collage fiend.
00:11:38Life before Pinterest.
00:11:40Aw, I remember toast.
00:11:42Toast.
00:11:44The restaurant, I was just positive I was gonna open.
00:11:47Run it just how I wanted it.
00:11:49It'd be chic enough, you know, for celebrities,
00:11:51but also a fun place
00:11:53just to hang with the girls for brunch.
00:11:56Michelin star, of course.
00:11:58Yeah.
00:12:00Fun, elegant.
00:12:02Basically the opposite of my life right now.
00:12:04Yeah, that basket lighting is just so elegant.
00:12:06Well, it was at the time.
00:12:10It's all just a fantasy.
00:12:14Like me marrying Lance Bass.
00:12:18So, um...
00:12:22Here's the deal.
00:12:24The real reason why I wanted us to clean out the attic...
00:12:26I knew there was a reason!
00:12:28...is because I wanted to make sure
00:12:30the house was all in order for Dad
00:12:32because I applied to work at this yoga instructor academy
00:12:34in Bali.
00:12:36Stephanie, that's halfway around the world.
00:12:38Absolutely not.
00:12:40Lolly, come on.
00:12:42You're not Mom, and I'm an adult.
00:12:44An adult who jumps from job to job
00:12:46in every field except for marketing.
00:12:48Do you remember the one that you actually got a degree in
00:12:50and now you want to go to Bali and teach yoga?
00:12:52Maybe I don't want my diary to be full of regrets.
00:12:58Caffney.
00:13:02That's real mature.
00:13:18Ah!
00:13:21That went well.
00:13:23How long have you been standing there?
00:13:25I just popped up to check on you girls
00:13:27and saw your sister storming away.
00:13:29I made her mad.
00:13:31Are you having any regrets?
00:13:33I'm having all the regrets.
00:13:36My life hasn't turned out
00:13:38exactly how I thought it would.
00:13:40At all.
00:13:42I wish I had known then what I know now.
00:13:46If you were given the chance to peek at the life
00:13:48you wish you had, would you take it?
00:13:50Yeah, of course. Who wouldn't?
00:13:52There's no sense in wishing for the impossible.
00:13:54Oh, I agree.
00:13:56There's no sense to it, per se, but it is possible.
00:14:00I've been holding onto something for you
00:14:02for quite a while,
00:14:04but this is the first time I felt you really needed it.
00:14:09It's a little small to be a hope chest.
00:14:11It contains much more than hope, my dear.
00:14:17Huh.
00:14:19Magic lemon drops?
00:14:21Okay, well, thanks.
00:14:23Ah! Ah!
00:14:25Not yet.
00:14:27Okay, Anchored, I say this with love,
00:14:29but you're acting weirder than usual right now.
00:14:31Weird doesn't even scratch the surface with these.
00:14:33These are not merely confections.
00:14:35Each of them has a purpose.
00:14:37They can show you a life you wish you had
00:14:39and give you the power to choose it.
00:14:41Magic lemon drops?
00:14:43As the great St. Augustine once said,
00:14:45miracles are not contrary to nature,
00:14:48only contrary to what we know of nature.
00:14:52Okay, I'm gonna go with you on this
00:14:54because you're honestly giving me some ASMR tingles.
00:14:56Okay, so...
00:15:00How does it work?
00:15:02Take one before you go to bed.
00:15:04Then say aloud
00:15:06something you wish you could change,
00:15:08a regret or a path not taken.
00:15:10Mm-hmm.
00:15:12When you wake up,
00:15:14you will live one day as it would have been
00:15:16if you'd made that choice.
00:15:18And then what?
00:15:20When you wake up the next morning,
00:15:22you're back in your life here.
00:15:24Will I remember what happened?
00:15:26With the first three drops, yes,
00:15:28but if you use the fourth drop
00:15:30to return to one of the other lives,
00:15:32that reality
00:15:34will become your permanent life.
00:15:38And those memories,
00:15:40the only ones you'll have.
00:15:42Okay.
00:15:46Magic lemon drops.
00:15:48Of course.
00:15:50Yes, of course.
00:15:52Doubt it all you want,
00:15:54but if you don't give this a try,
00:15:56your doubt may turn to regret.
00:16:12β™ͺ
00:16:22Phew!
00:16:34Phew!
00:16:42Phew!
00:16:46Well, this is crazy.
00:16:48I just brushed my teeth.
00:16:50Whatever.
00:16:56Right, I got to say it out loud.
00:16:58Toast.
00:17:08Mm.
00:17:12Mm.
00:17:14Are you kidding me?
00:17:16What is even happening?
00:17:20Anker, what did you give me?
00:17:22Mm.
00:17:24Mm.
00:17:26Mm.
00:17:28This is insane.
00:17:30What's insane?
00:17:32Who is this?
00:17:34India, your restaurant manager.
00:17:36Restaurant manager.
00:17:38Are you all right?
00:17:40You're not gonna believe this,
00:17:42but the Michelin guy's here.
00:17:44Oh.
00:17:46Molly, did you hear what I said
00:17:48about the Michelin guy?
00:17:50Like the cartoon guy who looks like a marshmallow?
00:17:52Okay, that was a very solid joke,
00:17:54but I'm too anxious to joke right now.
00:17:56We didn't know it was him, of course,
00:17:58but after he finished, he introduced himself.
00:18:00It was Ed Wainwright, Michelin's number one inspector.
00:18:02He asked if he could meet you.
00:18:04I think we might be getting that second star.
00:18:06Did you say second?
00:18:08Okay, um, wh-where do I meet you?
00:18:10What do you mean, where?
00:18:12Are you okay?
00:18:14Do I need to call a doctor?
00:18:16No, I'm fine-ish, fine, fine-ish.
00:18:18I just had this weird dream.
00:18:20Maybe it's just sort of lingering.
00:18:22That happens when I mix my melatonin
00:18:24with my energy drinks.
00:18:26But seriously, how soon can you get here?
00:18:28I-I-I can come right away,
00:18:30but seriously, where do I meet you?
00:18:32Uh, I don't know, maybe at a little establishment
00:18:34that you've spent all of your blood, sweat,
00:18:36and tears for.
00:18:38Just a thought.
00:18:40Toast!
00:18:56Oh, my gosh, it's Wally Blanchard.
00:18:58Hmm?
00:19:02Thank God you made it.
00:19:04Okay, Ed's about to leave,
00:19:06but he wants to shake your hand.
00:19:08You must be India. It's so nice to meet...
00:19:10up with you,
00:19:12because we work together.
00:19:14Look, I'm sorry it's not as busy as usual.
00:19:16I hate for you to see us when it's this slow.
00:19:18Slow? Look, I already let the marketing team have it.
00:19:20It won't happen again.
00:19:22Okay, okay, great. Uh, what else should I know?
00:19:24Uh, you will be very glad to know that the Nets
00:19:26is their official game day restaurant
00:19:28for all game days next year.
00:19:30My dad's gonna freak out. No kidding.
00:19:32Maybe don't tell him until after he's done his treatment.
00:19:34Treatment? Mr. Wainwright,
00:19:36thank you so much for waiting.
00:19:38This is our humble captain, Wally Blanchard.
00:19:40Wally, your avocado toast
00:19:42is truly titanic.
00:19:44As if it were made for
00:19:46Zeus himself.
00:19:48We are literally called toast, so we better have the best.
00:19:50Well, you truly are the toast of the town.
00:19:52Oh!
00:19:54The toast of the town.
00:19:56Now, I don't normally do this
00:19:58in person, but because we are both here,
00:20:00I would like to
00:20:02award you your second
00:20:04star.
00:20:06Huzzah!
00:20:08Wow.
00:20:10Wow, this is...
00:20:12It looks like I need to get our lolly back to Mount Olympus.
00:20:14Enjoy your meals.
00:20:16I should mention,
00:20:18Nicola has some proverbial ants
00:20:20in her pantry right now.
00:20:22Hey, excuse me.
00:20:24We have to talk. Our distributor messed up
00:20:26again. One moment, please.
00:20:30I need to talk to her now.
00:20:32Okay, I understand that.
00:20:34Hi, you've reached Marty. Leave a message.
00:20:36Hey, Dad, it's me.
00:20:38Just call and say hi. Give me a call
00:20:40when you get this. Okay. Love you.
00:20:42India laid into me already.
00:20:44Do you really gotta call and chew me out personally?
00:20:46Uh, what? No.
00:20:48I just called to say hi. Hi, how are you?
00:20:50Well, I'm at work on a Sunday
00:20:52trying to fix the banner ads for your restaurant.
00:20:54So, stressed.
00:20:56Okay. Um, hey, do you know how Dad is?
00:20:58I tried to call him, but it just went straight to voicemail.
00:21:00He's at swim therapy with Ramona.
00:21:04Ramona.
00:21:06Who's Ramona?
00:21:08Ramona.
00:21:10Ramona.
00:21:12His wife? Our stepmom?
00:21:14Hello?
00:21:16Okay, okay.
00:21:18Um, what's going on
00:21:20with his treatment? Uh, she wanted him
00:21:22to get into this new program. It's supposed to be really great
00:21:24for people recovering from strokes.
00:21:26Look, Lolly, I gotta get back to work here,
00:21:28okay? Wait, wait, wait, Daphne, I need to
00:21:30catch up more. Please, you only
00:21:32ever call about work.
00:21:34I'll fix the banner ads, alright?
00:21:36Bye-bye. Wait, Daphne.
00:21:38Daphne.
00:21:54T-Rex?
00:21:56Hello, Cooper.
00:22:08No, no.
00:22:16Okay, I'm sorry.
00:22:18You're gonna have to deal with her.
00:22:20You're doing such a great job already.
00:22:22It's gotta be you.
00:22:26I would love to have a special dessert
00:22:28on the menu, but that's really difficult when the suppliers
00:22:30don't deliver enough produce. I'm sure we can figure
00:22:32something out. Who's gonna deal with the customers who
00:22:34come in wanting white peach babkas for dessert and can't
00:22:36have any? Well, make a chef's special dessert.
00:22:38I have so many ideas. For what?
00:22:40For the chef's special, but also for the
00:22:42menu overall. Um, I know
00:22:44we just got our second star, but it would be even
00:22:46better if we got our third. Okay.
00:22:48You know, it's healthy and organic, which
00:22:50yay, but it's also a tad
00:22:52minimalistic. Well, you know what? Here.
00:22:54You're the chef now. No, no, no, you're the
00:22:56chef. Sorry, I didn't mean it like that. Chef,
00:22:58I was just throwing out ideas, which I thought I could do
00:23:00in my own restaurant, but that's fine. You know,
00:23:02what you are doing is great.
00:23:04It's so good. Please, not today.
00:23:06Please?
00:23:08Please?
00:23:10Fine.
00:23:12Boy, um,
00:23:14you really do need a day off.
00:23:16Tomorrow, though.
00:23:18Okay.
00:23:42Sally! There she is!
00:23:44Oh, my goodness!
00:23:46It's so good to see you in person,
00:23:48as much as I love our, you know, memes and
00:23:50texts and all that. It's really good to see you, too.
00:23:52Yeah, oh, oh, thank you for getting
00:23:54me the hook-up here with this reservation.
00:23:56I completely forgot, but you, uh, you saved
00:23:58me. Uh, that's what friends are
00:24:00for, right?
00:24:02Yes, and I'm happy we could
00:24:04we could be friends again.
00:24:06Me, too.
00:24:08Now, look, I know the last time we talked was kind
00:24:10of...
00:24:12I know it's not easy to apologize to me, so
00:24:14I hope you know how much I appreciate that you did it.
00:24:16I do now.
00:24:20Rory!
00:24:22There she is.
00:24:24Hi.
00:24:42Oh, wow, you remember
00:24:44Emma. I sure would.
00:24:46It's so good to see you again.
00:24:50I've bragged to all our New York friends that
00:24:52we have the hook-up here. They're so jealous.
00:24:54Yeah, no problem.
00:24:56Yeah, it definitely scored me some, uh,
00:24:58boyfriend points with this.
00:25:00So glad I could do that for you.
00:25:02Well, um, your table's ready,
00:25:04so I'm gonna go get the hostess.
00:25:06You'll join us at some point?
00:25:08Wouldn't miss it.
00:25:10Which is great, right?
00:25:12Yeah.
00:25:22Oh,
00:25:24this is lovely.
00:25:26Well, some things never change.
00:25:30Hmm?
00:25:32Hmm?
00:25:34Okay,
00:25:36I think I'm gonna head out, if that's okay
00:25:38with you? Okay, yeah.
00:25:40Just think,
00:25:42we get to do this all over again tomorrow.
00:25:44Living the dream.
00:25:46See ya.
00:25:48See ya.
00:25:50I love my life.
00:25:52This is my dream.
00:25:54I love my life.
00:25:56This is my restaurant.
00:25:58I love my life. This is my
00:26:00dream.
00:26:06It's the vanilla.
00:26:08Okay. Dad?
00:26:10How many of these do you want?
00:26:12How are you feeling?
00:26:14Uh, squeezed at the moment.
00:26:16I am so
00:26:18sorry for being crappy with you the other day.
00:26:20You're actually apologizing to me.
00:26:22Something I need to get better at doing.
00:26:24Is Aunt Gert in her lair?
00:26:26I think so.
00:26:28Somebody got up on the right side of the bed.
00:26:34Good morning.
00:26:36I have so many questions.
00:26:42So, where did you choose to go?
00:26:44Brooklyn, New York.
00:26:46I've seen it. I had my own restaurant.
00:26:48You know, the one that I've been dreaming about.
00:26:50What was it? Oh, it was beautiful.
00:26:52Although, I do have to say, it was a little bit
00:26:54more fun when it was a magazine cutout
00:26:56in my imagination. Because in reality,
00:26:58I was just as stressed as I am at the eatery, if not more so.
00:27:00What about the rest of your life?
00:27:02The restaurant was my life. I didn't do anything else.
00:27:04My relationship with Daphne was terrible.
00:27:06Plus, Dad had a stroke.
00:27:08Although, he was married to this
00:27:10woman named Ramona, which, you know,
00:27:12it's been a while. Hasn't it?
00:27:14Was that all? No.
00:27:16Rory was there.
00:27:18Which is really weird because
00:27:20the last time I actually saw him, he made it very clear
00:27:22that he'd rather be taking a nap.
00:27:24Tell me, Lolly,
00:27:26this place you went to, this life,
00:27:28if you could choose this version,
00:27:30would you?
00:27:32So many pluses
00:27:34and minuses. I mean, gosh,
00:27:36the restaurant was amazing.
00:27:38And I have to tell you, there were a lot
00:27:40of very handsome men in my DMs.
00:27:42But Dad's health scared me
00:27:44and whatever this was with Rory,
00:27:46I mean, what are these lemon drops?
00:27:48I mean, is this my future? Is this another reality?
00:27:50I mean, how is this possible?
00:27:52Perhaps the strong, acidic
00:27:54nature of the lemons mixed with their
00:27:56pleasurable appearance allows them to
00:27:58alter the mind's chemistry.
00:28:02That sounds so made up.
00:28:04Honestly, I have no idea.
00:28:06You don't know? Well, the woman who gave them to me
00:28:08never explained the mechanics.
00:28:10I only know they allow us to view
00:28:12the moments we regret or can't
00:28:14reconcile with fresh eyes.
00:28:16How they do that
00:28:18is a mystery. Who is this
00:28:20woman? Esmeralda,
00:28:22if that was her real name.
00:28:24Yeah, that's definitely made up.
00:28:26I met her at a carnival when I was in my early
00:28:28twenties. A carnival?
00:28:30I had just suffered heartbreak
00:28:32and I wandered into her tent.
00:28:34She took one look at me
00:28:36and she said,
00:28:38I've been waiting for you.
00:28:40Which I thought was a line.
00:28:42But it wasn't. No.
00:28:44She gave me the lemon drops and told me how to use them
00:28:46and all of that came true.
00:28:48But the most important
00:28:50part is what you
00:28:52learn from each experience.
00:28:54And then what you
00:28:56choose to do next.
00:28:58To find your bliss.
00:29:00Find my bliss.
00:29:02Mmm.
00:29:06Mmm.
00:29:08What do you think, Mom?
00:29:10Maybe you should
00:29:12ask her.
00:29:16I kissed the
00:29:18Blarney stone today. It was awesome, but kind of
00:29:20gross. I bet. It's supposed
00:29:22to give you the gift of gab, but I don't know if it worked.
00:29:24I think it did, honey.
00:29:26Okay, down. To your bed.
00:29:28Daddy and Grandpa got a dog?
00:29:30He did. He's very cute. He's very
00:29:32poorly behaved. And his name is Kirby.
00:29:34He's so cute. I wish we had a dog.
00:29:36Yes. Well, maybe
00:29:38someday we will. Can we take him to the new cabin?
00:29:40My best friend Trent says fishing is
00:29:42way better with a dog. Oh, did Trent say that?
00:29:44Yeah. If we can wrestle him
00:29:46away from Grandpa, then sure. Why not?
00:29:48We're gonna catch so many pike up there.
00:29:50I can't wait, baby. Okay.
00:29:52I gotta go to bed now, but I'll send you more pictures
00:29:54tomorrow. Okay. I'm counting on it.
00:29:56I love you. I miss you.
00:29:58Love you, Dad.
00:30:14Lemon drops.
00:30:16I know. It's crazy, right?
00:30:18Uh, crazy wouldn't be
00:30:20the word that I would use. It wasn't a dream, Eve.
00:30:22Hallucination?
00:30:24No. It felt totally real, and I had
00:30:26really cute hair. Did Hank
00:30:28put a little something in your candies?
00:30:30I don't know, but it made me realize
00:30:32some things that I need to take care of. Like what?
00:30:34Like apologizing to Rory. See, in this
00:30:36toast version of me, I made things
00:30:38right with him. I mean, we weren't together. He had this
00:30:40really hot girlfriend. It was terrible.
00:30:42But anyway, he was still in my life.
00:30:44Okay. Not saying
00:30:46I believe any of this, because...
00:30:48I know. But
00:30:50if it's helping you get some things done that you've
00:30:52been putting off, I say
00:30:54lemon drop away.
00:30:56So, when are you going to talk to
00:30:58Rory? I don't know. But first,
00:31:00I have to have a very unfun conversation with my
00:31:02dad about finances. Oh,
00:31:04speaking of, this might not
00:31:06do anything, but...
00:31:08What is this?
00:31:10Your portion of the Popsicle sales.
00:31:12They blew out of the freezer. Seriously?
00:31:14Yes. People just love them.
00:31:16So, I know you're busy right now, but if you can,
00:31:18keep them coming.
00:31:20This is
00:31:22making my head hurt.
00:31:24Well, then don't eat it so fast.
00:31:26It's not the Popsicles, the paperwork. Dad,
00:31:28we gotta figure this out. It's property
00:31:30tax. We'll pay it. It's a very
00:31:32big increase. What choice do we got,
00:31:34huh? Well, we can't sell this place.
00:31:38Don't.
00:31:40This diner was your mom's,
00:31:42and I am not going to be the one to lose that.
00:31:44Then we have to come up with an alternative.
00:31:46Do you have any ideas?
00:31:50I'm gonna
00:31:52go pound out some schnitzel. I think better
00:31:54when I cook. Dad, wait, wait, wait.
00:31:56I know it's your birthday tomorrow. Don't think
00:31:58I forgot. What do you wanna do?
00:32:00Same thing we do every year. I'm gonna
00:32:02make you a pie. Do you wanna do something special?
00:32:04We could go to the summer picnic.
00:32:06Lemon drop pie is special enough.
00:32:08I
00:32:10really
00:32:12felt a
00:32:14moment
00:32:16shattered
00:32:18whole within
00:32:20my heart.
00:32:22I'll
00:32:24never know
00:32:26how long it
00:32:28was.
00:32:30I waited
00:32:32in despair.
00:32:34I
00:32:36Oh, he's coming back.
00:32:37Oh.
00:32:38Ow.
00:32:39There we go.
00:32:40I didn't even know you had a dog.
00:32:41I don't, technically.
00:32:42But my parents are fostering him.
00:32:43And I think they're not so subtly trying to get me to adopt him.
00:32:44Which, you know, given the year I've had, might be a good thing.
00:32:45I heard.
00:32:46People like to give me your updates.
00:32:47Whether I ask them to or not.
00:32:48I don't know.
00:32:49I don't know.
00:32:50I don't know.
00:32:51I don't know.
00:32:52I don't know.
00:32:53I don't know.
00:32:54I don't know.
00:32:55I don't know.
00:32:56I don't know.
00:32:57I don't know.
00:32:58I don't know.
00:32:59I don't know.
00:33:00I don't know.
00:33:01I don't know.
00:33:02I don't know.
00:33:04People like to give me your updates.
00:33:05Whether I ask them to or not.
00:33:06I get yours as well.
00:33:07Well, that's a short list.
00:33:08Not really.
00:33:09How's everything with the diner?
00:33:10Hasn't changed.
00:33:11Won't change.
00:33:12Well, I bet old Papa Martin's watching that thing like a German hawk.
00:33:13Yeah, it's his way of keeping mom's legacy alive.
00:33:14It's his way of honoring her.
00:33:15Seems like he's doing a pretty good job.
00:33:16Can't fault him for that.
00:33:17Um, so I'm, I'm pretty surprised.
00:33:18We didn't know you had a dog.
00:33:19I didn't.
00:33:20I didn't.
00:33:21I didn't.
00:33:22I didn't.
00:33:23I didn't.
00:33:24I didn't.
00:33:25I didn't.
00:33:26I didn't.
00:33:27I didn't.
00:33:28I didn't.
00:33:29I didn't.
00:33:33What's with your text?
00:33:34I'm surprised I sent it.
00:33:37Everything okay?
00:33:38I want it to be.
00:33:41Between us, I mean.
00:33:43Sorry, how do I follow?
00:33:46I don't like how things ended between us.
00:33:49Here, on this log, which feels like a hundred years ago.
00:33:51Oh, well, yeah, I got over that a long time ago.
00:33:55Well, I didn't.
00:33:57It wasn't fair for me to get so angry.
00:33:59I mean, you were just following your dreams.
00:34:01I had no right to get in the way.
00:34:02Well, we were in a relationship.
00:34:03I think that kind of gives you the right to an opinion.
00:34:05An opinion, sure, but it was hard on you.
00:34:08I knew Duke was your dream program, and the distance scared me,
00:34:11and instead of supporting you, I pushed you away.
00:34:14I'm sorry.
00:34:15Hey, hey, come here.
00:34:20I think because you were the one that helped me through everything with my mom,
00:34:24I was afraid to tell you how attached I'd become.
00:34:27Instead of telling you how I felt, I just, I shut down and, and,
00:34:30I gave up on us.
00:34:32Okay.
00:34:33Drop.
00:34:36Lolly.
00:34:38I appreciate you saying all that.
00:34:41And yes, to be honest, at the time, I was, I was pretty hurt.
00:34:45And I had to get over it, but I did.
00:34:49And the point is, is that I forgave you, Lolly.
00:34:51And I forgave you a long time ago.
00:34:53So I want you to know that.
00:35:02Do you want to throw a prank?
00:35:03Ready.
00:35:07So how you doing with everything? How you holding up?
00:35:10Uh, I don't know.
00:35:12I think, I think I'm just trying to be like Kirby here.
00:35:17How's that?
00:35:18If I just keep my eye on the ball, and just keep moving, I'll be fine.
00:35:23It's the sitting still that's hard.
00:35:25Yeah.
00:35:29Oh, sorry.
00:35:31Uh, I need to run.
00:35:32So my parents apparently got a social life in retirement.
00:35:35Oh!
00:35:36And I managed to score an invite.
00:35:38Okay, drop it, drop it.
00:35:39Well, thanks for hearing me out.
00:35:41Meeting me here. Appreciate it.
00:35:43Of course.
00:35:44What are old friends for?
00:35:45Yeah.
00:35:47Kirby, come on. Come on, good boy.
00:35:50Hey, Rory.
00:35:51Yeah.
00:35:52Stop by the eatery.
00:35:53Stop by the eatery while you're in town.
00:35:54I don't know. Do you still serve shpetzla?
00:35:56Till the day we close.
00:35:57I'll be there.
00:35:59Come on.
00:36:00Come on.
00:36:01Doh, doh, doh, doh, doh.
00:36:02There you go.
00:36:03Let's go to the car.
00:36:04Let's go to the car. Kirby.
00:36:20Mom.
00:36:24Mom.
00:36:37Gina Austin?
00:36:42Pranks?
00:36:51Oh!
00:36:54Ow!
00:36:56Good morning, sleepyhead.
00:37:05Oh!
00:37:08Oh, honey.
00:37:11Sweetheart.
00:37:12Hi, Mom.
00:37:13Hi.
00:37:16Want some tea?
00:37:23No.
00:37:28Why are you looking at me like that?
00:37:30Do I have something on my face?
00:37:32No.
00:37:33Just feeling sentimental, I guess.
00:37:35It's the move.
00:37:37We've both been in this house a long time.
00:37:39It's natural to feel emotional.
00:37:41I am still in shock that you're able to move on from so much history.
00:37:45Well, history's only helpful if it doesn't block you from the future.
00:37:50So then what are the plans for our future today?
00:37:52Well, I really should be packing.
00:37:54The movers come in four days, but I really don't want to miss the summer picnic.
00:37:58Of course. And it's Dad's birthday.
00:38:00Wait, what are we going to do?
00:38:02Well, I suppose the same thing we do every year.
00:38:05Exactly. Packing can wait.
00:38:07Let's make him a lemon drop pie.
00:38:23The souvenirs we save never really go away.
00:38:29You better save enough of your memories for a rainy day.
00:38:34Do you remember the three secret ingredients that make this the best lemon drop pie?
00:38:38Meyer lemons.
00:38:40European butter.
00:38:41And lemon balm.
00:38:43In the language of flowers, lemon balm means sympathy or good cheer.
00:38:46So every bite of this pie can make someone's day a little brighter.
00:38:49Like magic.
00:38:51Never knew that.
00:38:53Lighting down the hatches, the storm is on the way.
00:38:59Gather your belongings that you want to save.
00:39:05Send a man a value that money can't buy.
00:39:11Like a photo of a loved one taken by the tide.
00:39:19Where did you come up with the idea of garnishing it with lemon drops?
00:39:22Well, it's the name of the pie. Without them, it would be a boring old lemon meringue.
00:39:25Well, sure, but I've never seen it anywhere else. Did you invent it?
00:39:28It was your Aunt Gert who gave me the idea.
00:39:31She's always had a very odd obsession with lemon drops.
00:39:33Yeah, that tracks.
00:39:35Wait, where is Aunt Gert, by the way?
00:39:37Oh, she's still in Bali with Daphne.
00:39:39What? She's in Bali?
00:39:41Yeah. Daphne said her Ashta Vakrasana put everyone else's to shame.
00:39:45I have no idea what it means.
00:39:47And you're okay with that? With Daphne being in Bali?
00:39:50Well, it's her life, Lali. She's free to make her own way.
00:39:53I mean, we don't have to understand it as long as she does.
00:39:56I'm surprised. I could have sworn you would have thought it was a terrible idea.
00:39:59Well, why would you think that?
00:40:01I don't know. I guess I just assumed that you would think it wasn't safe.
00:40:05You can't make choices based on what scares you the least.
00:40:09Your sister was very afraid to go to Bali. That's how I knew she had to go do it.
00:40:13She did not let on that she was scared.
00:40:15Well, to me she did. But maybe not to her older sister that she idolizes.
00:40:20Idolizes? That's a strong word.
00:40:22Maybe not strong enough. Your sister loves you more than you know.
00:40:28I guess I could get better at showing it back a little bit more.
00:40:32I think we all can.
00:40:35A perfect masterpiece. Let's bring one to Dad.
00:40:50I can't believe it.
00:40:52I know. No matter how many times I pass by, it's a shock to me every time.
00:40:56You know, I'm glad your father never saw the day I closed the place.
00:41:00The eatery was always so much more important to him than it ever was to me.
00:41:04Poor guy ran himself into the ground trying to save it.
00:41:09Dad's gone.
00:41:11Oh. He's never forgotten.
00:41:14I keep thinking about him.
00:41:16He's never forgotten.
00:41:18I keep this here so he's always with me.
00:41:21He's such a handsome fella.
00:41:30Let's dig in.
00:41:37Happy birthday, Martin.
00:41:39I love you, Dad.
00:41:47I'm so happy we're doing this.
00:41:49I never could drag your father out here, so I'm glad I have you.
00:41:53I couldn't be happier if I tried.
00:41:56Uh-oh.
00:41:58Rory Shaw alert at 11 o'clock.
00:42:00Oh, shoot. Sorry, Mom.
00:42:02It's fine. Go. Go say hi. I got this.
00:42:05You're waving. I don't see anybody waving.
00:42:07It's been a while since you connected.
00:42:09Yes, Mother.
00:42:11Yes, Mother.
00:42:17Hey, Rory.
00:42:18Oh.
00:42:20Hey.
00:42:23Lolly. Lolly Blanchard.
00:42:25Your neighbor across the street since we were like nine.
00:42:27Oh, my gosh. Yeah. Hi.
00:42:29How you doing?
00:42:30I feel like I haven't seen you since you were playing tea party in your yard.
00:42:33But, uh, you grew up.
00:42:35That's the thing about time.
00:42:37It just keeps going.
00:42:39Yeah. I would take it personally.
00:42:41I'm a pretty, um, forgetful person.
00:42:43I remember.
00:42:46Who are you looking for?
00:42:48My parents.
00:42:50They keep nagging me about hanging out because I'm just so busy.
00:42:54Yeah, right. So, uh, how's Columbus?
00:42:56I'm not there anymore.
00:42:58I took a job here, actually.
00:43:00The, uh, twins lured me away.
00:43:02You have twins?
00:43:03No, the Minnesota twins.
00:43:051987, 1991.
00:43:07Oh, you're their team physician.
00:43:09See? See how quickly I put that together?
00:43:11It's very impressive. Very.
00:43:13So, what do you do?
00:43:16I am a sales rep for a company that supplies food to restaurants.
00:43:21Oh, nice.
00:43:23Do you like doing that?
00:43:24Probably not.
00:43:27That's very funny. I didn't know that you were funny.
00:43:30Oh, well, I guess we never really connected, so why would you?
00:43:34Yeah, I guess that's true.
00:43:36I did almost ask you out once.
00:43:37Wait, why didn't you?
00:43:39We were neighbors, and it's a little too close to home.
00:43:42Literally as close as you can get.
00:43:44And then I think you were on and off again with some guy in college.
00:43:47And I was heading off to Duke for a residency.
00:43:50I guess the timing wasn't right.
00:43:52Oh, I guess.
00:43:53Oh, one second.
00:43:56I gotta take this, because this is Buxton calling.
00:43:59He's counting on me to get him off the I.R.A.S.A.P., so.
00:44:03It was great seeing you, though.
00:44:04Yeah, youβ€”
00:44:05Hey, Bux! How you doing?
00:44:06You, too.
00:44:08Ha ha, I bet.
00:44:16What were you and Rory Shaw talking about?
00:44:18Not a whole lot. He's so different than I remember.
00:44:21No more unrequited childhood crush, huh?
00:44:24More unrequited than ever.
00:44:26You barely remembered me.
00:44:28Oh.
00:44:31I'm sorry, sweetie.
00:44:33That's hard.
00:44:35Mom, can I ask your advice?
00:44:37Of course.
00:44:40I've been feeling really stuck lately.
00:44:42Like my life isn't what I thought it could be or would be.
00:44:47I just feel like I'm at a crossroads, and I don't know what the right direction is.
00:44:51Well, it sounds to me like you're caught up in the sheds and woods.
00:44:55You have to let all that fall apart in order to find your bliss.
00:44:59What does that mean?
00:45:01And how do I know it's going to make me truly happy? It all seems so fleeting.
00:45:06Happiness is fickle, often based on circumstances.
00:45:11If you chase happiness, you're more often than not going to be disappointed.
00:45:16But following your bliss, that's something entirely different.
00:45:21It means facing your life with honesty and pursuing each spark of joy.
00:45:28It's always there somewhere, in some small thing to be grateful for.
00:45:33Something to celebrate.
00:45:35A way to give joy to others.
00:45:38A new way to grow.
00:45:41That's what it means to follow your bliss.
00:45:47I love you so much, Mom.
00:45:50I love you, Lolly.
00:45:58I love you, too.
00:46:29Morning, Lolly.
00:46:32You saw her, didn't you?
00:46:34Yeah.
00:46:35Oh, was my baby sister beautiful?
00:46:38Even more at peace than I remember?
00:46:41Wonderful to be able to see her again.
00:46:44I was.
00:46:45Why couldn't you?
00:46:47I'm too old for all that.
00:46:48Besides, I used up my share at Eleven Drops years ago.
00:46:52What was it like when you did it?
00:46:54Enlightening.
00:46:55You gotta give me more than that.
00:46:57I mean, is this your original path, or did you choose one of the Lemon Drops?
00:47:00I chose what was best for me and my loved ones.
00:47:04And that, my dear, is all I'll say about that.
00:47:09Well, that's not helpful.
00:47:17Ice pops!
00:47:18Good! We've already been getting calls about them.
00:47:21Crazy!
00:47:22Lemon Spearmint is my newest concoction.
00:47:25Ooh, in honor of your adventures in Lemon Drop La La Land?
00:47:29Okay, let's put this in the freezer, and I want to hear all about this.
00:47:33So much to tell you.
00:47:34Oh, gosh, these are heavy!
00:47:36All right, thanks a lot. We'll see you again.
00:47:43Rory Shah!
00:47:45Hey!
00:47:46Hey, how you doing?
00:47:48Good to see you!
00:47:49Good to see you!
00:47:50Yeah, Lolly said that I should stop by, and so I figured I'd maybe grab a bite.
00:47:54Grab a bite, get some work done?
00:47:55Oh, you're welcome anytime.
00:47:57I mean, this place has really not changed a bit, has it?
00:47:59Unfortunately, we're not as busy as we used to be.
00:48:02Lolly might have said something about that as well.
00:48:05You two are talking.
00:48:06We are, a little bit.
00:48:07Good, good. I know she missed you.
00:48:10Hey, hey, listen, your old booth is open. Grab a seat. I'll bring you a menu.
00:48:15Oh, no need. You said the place doesn't change, right?
00:48:17Only due to inflation.
00:48:19Okay, well then, I'll have the Schweinhaxe and a healthy side of the SpΓ€tzle, please.
00:48:23Ah, well said.
00:48:26So, you saw your mom. That must have been so special.
00:48:30It was.
00:48:31Wait, does this mean you believe me?
00:48:32I believe that you believe.
00:48:35That's a cop-out.
00:48:37So, how were things with Rory this time around?
00:48:39Non-existent. He barely recognized me.
00:48:41What? How is that possible? You lived across the street from one another for, like, years.
00:48:45I think he saw me as this little neighborhood kid who had a crush on him or something.
00:48:50You know, it wasn't until we bonded after my mom's accident, but with her still alive...
00:48:54Oh, you never got the chance to.
00:48:57It was really sad to see a world where we never connected.
00:49:00What does that tell you, Lolly?
00:49:02It highlights how pivotal he was in my life, even if he's not in it anymore.
00:49:06Currently. I mean, there's a lot of time on the clock still.
00:49:09That's why I apologized.
00:49:11In real life or Lemonland?
00:49:13In real life.
00:49:14And?
00:49:15And he said he forgave me, which was nice, but I doubt he could truly forget.
00:49:18So many things I wish I had done differently, but what's done is done.
00:49:22Unless there was a world where you never did it in the first place.
00:49:26Ha! You do believe.
00:49:28I never said that.
00:49:32Happy birthday to you.
00:49:35Happy birthday to you.
00:49:38Happy birthday, dear Marty.
00:49:42Happy birthday to me.
00:49:48Happy birthday, Dad.
00:49:49Aw, thanks.
00:49:50I am gonna go stash this.
00:49:54It's literally all he wants for his birthday.
00:49:56It's adorable.
00:49:57What are you doing here?
00:49:58I took you up on your offer.
00:49:59Do you want to maybe join me for a little bit?
00:50:01Yeah, glad you did.
00:50:04So, what did you get up to today?
00:50:07Well, I made Dad that pie, and I went to Eve's Produce,
00:50:10and I dropped off a big batch of these fruit pops that I made.
00:50:13Like frozen fruit pops?
00:50:15So, what do you call them? Like lollies pops?
00:50:18I love that.
00:50:19It's kind of a no-brainer, right?
00:50:21Yeah. Apparently they're doing really well, and Eve thinks I'm onto something.
00:50:26I think pretty much anything that you do is gonna be pretty special.
00:50:38It's a picture of my daughter.
00:50:40So she's in Europe right now with her brother on a little vacation.
00:50:44She's got a great smile. What is she like?
00:50:47She's a really happy kid.
00:50:49She's obsessed with history and the outdoors, loves castles,
00:50:54and that's actually why we'd originally planned to do this trip together.
00:50:59But life has a way of upending your plans.
00:51:01Yeah, I know about that.
00:51:03How are you doing, by the way?
00:51:05If you don't mind me asking.
00:51:06No, no, it's okay.
00:51:08I'm okay, and I'm good with the divorce.
00:51:12Which, I know that sounds terrible, that you're good with the divorce,
00:51:15but Beth and I were always just better as friends.
00:51:19And as of right now, the co-parenting thing is not as bad as I'd feared.
00:51:23That's important.
00:51:24Just figuring out the next steps, that's kind of terrifying.
00:51:29But it's good to talk about it.
00:51:31You haven't?
00:51:32A little bit with my therapist, but it's just different talking to you.
00:51:37Well, I am here to talk all things Rory Shaw.
00:51:42You sure about that?
00:51:43Yeah, it's one thing I'm pretty sure about.
00:51:46Well, I'm running late for Kirby's 40th walk of the day or something like that.
00:51:53Would you care to join me?
00:51:55Yeah. Hey, Dad, can you close that?
00:51:57You good?
00:51:58Yeah, never better.
00:51:59Do you need a hand with that?
00:52:00No, no, no, no, you two have fun.
00:52:02I can lock up tonight, Lolly.
00:52:04Why don't you go walk that dog?
00:52:05How'd you know we were talking about a dog?
00:52:07Just get out of here.
00:52:08Busted.
00:52:09Go have fun.
00:52:12Good.
00:52:15Hockey season's creeping up on us.
00:52:17Come on, come on. I'm surprised you remember when that starts.
00:52:20Are you kidding me? How could I not?
00:52:22You used to drag me to the Minnesota Wilds opening game every September.
00:52:26Which you liked, admit it.
00:52:27Did I? Or was I just being a good girlfriend?
00:52:30You were a very good girlfriend.
00:52:32Until I wasn't.
00:52:34Lolly, we were young. Come on.
00:52:36Still, I should have apologized sooner.
00:52:39All right, why don't we say, from here on out, we don't talk about the past.
00:52:43We only focus our conversations on the here and now.
00:52:45Does that sound good?
00:52:46Are you sure you're ready for that?
00:52:48Yeah, try me.
00:52:50Okay, so what's your dating life like now?
00:52:54Wow, okay, yeah, maybe you're right, I'm not ready for that.
00:52:57You asked for it!
00:52:58I did, I did! It's my fault.
00:53:03You know, honestly, I'm just really focused on Sam right now,
00:53:06making sure that she's comfortable with this next stage of life.
00:53:10And I'm sure I'll get back in the dating game at some point,
00:53:13but I'm not going to force it.
00:53:15How about you?
00:53:17No, there's nothing to talk about there.
00:53:20Oh, come on.
00:53:21Oh, Kirby! Easy, easy.
00:53:24You're beautiful, talented.
00:53:26I don't believe it.
00:53:28Nobody wants that in this town?
00:53:30It's not like I haven't had relationships. I've tried, really.
00:53:34It's just, no one compares to...
00:53:38Oh, come on.
00:53:40You can't leave me hanging like that.
00:53:43I thought we weren't talking about the past.
00:53:47That's fair.
00:53:49I'm going to head in early.
00:53:51Okay, I will see you later, I guess.
00:53:54I'm sure you will.
00:54:00All right, all right, will you relax?
00:54:05Come on, come on.
00:54:26Oh, you've got to be kidding me.
00:54:30Marty? Lou?
00:54:32Oh, Marty.
00:54:34Thank goodness you're here.
00:54:36I forgot my phone, again.
00:54:40Marty?
00:54:42Marty.
00:54:43Okay, hang on one second.
00:54:45One second.
00:54:49Yes, I'm at the eatery on Woodman Ab.
00:54:51I need an ambulance immediately.
00:54:57Rory Shaw.
00:55:04Episode 2
00:55:17Happy anniversary.
00:55:18Hi.
00:55:23Don't fall back asleep, okay?
00:55:25The eatery's not going to open itself.
00:55:27Do I have to?
00:55:28Mm-hmm. You're the one that refuses to sell it.
00:55:31Remind me why?
00:55:33Because you, my dear, are very sentimental.
00:55:39Now, let's get up. Up, up.
00:55:56Daughters.
00:55:57Daughters.
00:56:00Wait, where are the girls?
00:56:01I'm supposed to be the forgetful one.
00:56:04The girls are at summer camp for another 24 hours,
00:56:07so that means that we have a day to ourselves for the chaos to sense.
00:56:12Good chaos?
00:56:15Best.
00:56:18Oh, don't forget to turn the coffee pot on.
00:56:21Sure.
00:56:27I love you.
00:56:48Somebody's stalling.
00:56:53So what are you doing today?
00:56:54I'm going to work, as usual.
00:56:57What do you say you take the day off? We can just hang out.
00:57:00I would love that, but you have customers to serve.
00:57:05Okay.
00:57:06Oh, wait, wait, wait.
00:57:16I love you.
00:57:18I love you, too.
00:57:28What is going on here?
00:57:35You work here?
00:57:36Don't start. Coffee's not on.
00:57:38What? Oh. Yeah, that's because Dad always does it, but apparently he's playing pickleball.
00:57:43Yeah, it's all the rage for retirees.
00:57:46Is he with Ramona?
00:57:47Who?
00:57:48Never mind. Where's Aunt Gert?
00:57:50I don't know. Probably still in Bucharest. Who knows with her?
00:57:53Wait, you're not in Bali doing yoga?
00:57:56And have my big sis give me grief for abandoning Mom's legacy?
00:58:00No, thanks. I'm good.
00:58:02Here are for my lollipops. Gotta get my supply for market day.
00:58:06I am still making those.
00:58:09Well, you better be. You know they're my top seller at the market.
00:58:13Just in the truck. Thank you.
00:58:18Oh, gosh. You two are so cute.
00:58:20Yeah?
00:58:21Yeah, you know. You set the bar.
00:58:22Okay, I'll see you later.
00:58:24Happy anniversary.
00:58:25Thanks.
00:58:29It's your turn to clean out the grease traps. Have fun.
00:58:32Ew.
00:58:56Yeah, he was in Kansas.
00:58:59Right. Just retired, but updated all of his equipment, so it's practically brand new.
00:59:02So you're basically getting a really good deal for it.
00:59:07Right. Shipping is not in the final breakdown.
00:59:12But Kansas and Nebraska, that's not really going to break the bank.
00:59:15Okay, we'll look at the price breakdown and get back to me.
00:59:17Alright.
00:59:18Hi, love of my life.
00:59:21That call went a little longer than expected. Let me just change my shirt and I'll be ready.
00:59:24Who are you talking to?
00:59:25That was a dentist in Lincoln who needs new equipment.
00:59:30We're still very much in the negotiating phase, but I think it might go through.
00:59:33And if we get this commission, it might mean that we could actually pay for tonight's dinner.
00:59:42I need to get dressed, too.
00:59:44I need to get dressed, too.
00:59:56How long have we been married?
00:59:59Alright, uh, is this a test?
01:00:03Let's pretend it is.
01:00:04Okay, we've been married 10 years, 3 hours and 42 minutes on the dot.
01:00:15I remember every second of that day. Do you?
01:00:19I remember what's important. You.
01:00:26When did you first know that you loved me?
01:00:29It wasn't just one moment. It was all the moments.
01:00:32Like when you found me on the beach after my mom passed.
01:00:37And you just let me cry and listened to me.
01:00:43Made me feel seen.
01:00:45Also when I used to stare at you and watch you from my bedroom window.
01:00:48I thought you were the cutest guy I'd ever seen.
01:00:50That's not creepy at all, but that is my favorite part.
01:00:54When you look at me, I feel safe.
01:00:58I feel safe.
01:01:02I'm so sorry. I thought I turned that off.
01:01:05Hey, do you ever think about going into practice?
01:01:08What do you mean?
01:01:10You worked hard for your degree. Do you ever think about using it?
01:01:13Online MBA? I don't think a lot of people call that working hard.
01:01:17It's time consuming, certainly.
01:01:19And before you say anything, no.
01:01:23I don't think about Duke anymore. I don't think about being a doctor.
01:01:27I just don't. I gave that up a long time ago.
01:01:30But, I mean, sports medicine was always your dream.
01:01:33I don't think that ship has sailed though.
01:01:36And I'm on an even better ship with you and the girls.
01:01:39But if you'd gone to Duke...
01:01:41Look, everyone makes sacrifices in life.
01:01:44And that was mine.
01:01:47And I'm happy with it.
01:01:50Are you happy?
01:01:51Yes. Do you not believe me?
01:01:54No, I do. I mean...
01:01:56I want to.
01:01:59But be honest. If you could be a team doctor...
01:02:03Would you want to do that? Be honest.
01:02:14Lolly.
01:02:15Lolly.
01:02:16Lolly, wake up!
01:02:18Lolly!
01:02:20Lolly!
01:02:21Lolly, you have to wake up now!
01:02:25Lolly.
01:02:27Lolly?
01:02:28Lolly!
01:02:31Ingrid?
01:02:32I'm sorry to wake you up like this.
01:02:34But it's your father.
01:02:44Hey, Daphne, I'm here.
01:02:46What's going on?
01:02:47Dad is in the ICU. He's being treated by Dr. Bishop.
01:02:50They told me to wait here and they'll send someone to give me an update.
01:02:52Do we have any more information on his condition?
01:02:54They said it was some sort of stroke, but I don't have any more details.
01:02:57He's gonna be okay, right?
01:02:58Yes, he is.
01:02:59How did he get to the hospital?
01:03:04Rory.
01:03:06Hi.
01:03:07Hi.
01:03:09These are for you all.
01:03:10Oh, thank you, dear.
01:03:11What do you know?
01:03:12Well, it's still very early.
01:03:14Okay.
01:03:15But I found him at the eatery.
01:03:17And I noticed that he was in sort of a foggy state,
01:03:19and that the left side of his face was starting to droop.
01:03:22Stroke?
01:03:23Yes, most likely the ischemic is gonna be the diagnosis.
01:03:26The good news is, is that we got him into the ER under three hours from the onset of symptoms,
01:03:30which is kind of the ideal window.
01:03:32So he's getting treated right now.
01:03:35I'm gonna go check the nurse's station again.
01:03:36Okay.
01:03:37Okay, right with you, sweetheart.
01:03:38Hey, let me know what they say.
01:03:39Of course.
01:03:40Thanks.
01:03:46Okay, give it to me straight.
01:03:48What are we looking at here?
01:03:50Well, Marty is not gonna be back to his old self anytime soon.
01:03:54I think the stroke really messed with his motor skills.
01:03:58What about his language?
01:03:59No, mainly just balance and walking.
01:04:01Okay.
01:04:02So physical therapy is gonna be a big part of his recovery.
01:04:05Of course.
01:04:06Lali, there's no way that he's going back in the kitchen at the eatery anytime soon.
01:04:11This is the least of my concerns.
01:04:14This feels like deja vu.
01:04:15This is the hospital Mom was at.
01:04:19Oh, I really don't want to go through that again.
01:04:25You're a lot stronger than you think.
01:04:27I sure hope you're right.
01:04:30Wait, why did you go back to the eatery after we walked home?
01:04:34I left my phone on the table.
01:04:38Are you kidding me?
01:04:39Something so simple could end up saving Dad.
01:04:42Yeah, and I forget when it finally came in handy, huh?
01:04:48Lali, the doctor said that we can see him now.
01:04:52Come on.
01:04:54Come on.
01:05:00I can't tell you how wonderful it is to see my girls.
01:05:04Well, I'm so glad you're okay, Dad.
01:05:07Don't scare us like that again, okay?
01:05:09I'll do my best.
01:05:10You're gonna have to take it easy.
01:05:13It's not my usual speed.
01:05:14Yeah, look where that got you.
01:05:17Things are gonna look a little bit different for everyone.
01:05:19I promise I'll do what needs to be done.
01:05:22That means we're gonna have to close the diner, at least temporarily.
01:05:26Temporarily.
01:05:39Oh, gosh.
01:05:41There's so much to do.
01:05:43Okay, this is the folder from the hospital.
01:05:45It's gonna outline every step of the process.
01:05:47There's so many steps.
01:05:48I have to get the house ready.
01:05:49I have to pick up his meds.
01:05:51Oh, I gotta find him a physical therapist ASAP.
01:05:54Step one.
01:05:56Breathe.
01:06:00Step two.
01:06:01I know this is gonna be difficult for you.
01:06:03You need to get some rest, all right?
01:06:05The next couple days are gonna require a lot of energy
01:06:07and you're not gonna do Marty any good if you're wiped out.
01:06:09I'll try.
01:06:10I'm gonna help you get everything in order.
01:06:22Hey, where's Daphne?
01:06:24Upstairs.
01:06:25Can I interest you in some chamomile tea?
01:06:27Yeah, that'd be lovely.
01:06:29So, I take it that last drop took you to a life you really didn't want to leave.
01:06:34Yeah.
01:06:35I mean, it's been a long time.
01:06:37Yeah.
01:06:38So, I take it that last drop took you to a life you really didn't want to leave.
01:06:43How'd you know?
01:06:44Because it took me forever to wake you up from it.
01:06:46Where'd you go?
01:06:48To Rory.
01:06:49If we'd never broken up, if he'd never gone to Duke.
01:06:52And how was it?
01:06:53Well, at first it seemed perfect.
01:06:55But then?
01:06:56I could see that he wasn't pursuing his dreams
01:06:58and I feel like I took that from him.
01:07:00His choices are his choices, even in the other realities.
01:07:03Are all of these possibilities, do they come with trade-offs?
01:07:06Like, you can have this, but you can't have that?
01:07:08Oh, honey, that's not the drops.
01:07:10That's life.
01:07:12I have one drop left.
01:07:14Should I use it?
01:07:15Choose one of those other paths?
01:07:17I can't tell you what to do.
01:07:19But remember, if you choose to take the last drop,
01:07:23that becomes your permanent reality.
01:07:25There are no more lemon drops.
01:07:30Is it bad to choose a path that's good for me,
01:07:33but maybe not the best for someone else?
01:07:35How do you mean?
01:07:37I mean, just seeing my life with Rory,
01:07:41seeing the love that we had, I mean, it wasn't perfect.
01:07:44God, but it felt good to have love like that.
01:07:48I really missed him.
01:07:50Well, that sounds like something you should say to Rory.
01:07:54I mean, so much has changed, right?
01:07:56We're different people now.
01:07:57What if he doesn't feel the same?
01:07:59I mean, with the lemon drop, it's guaranteed love.
01:08:02It's guaranteed family.
01:08:04How can I pass that up?
01:08:06You have some thinking to do, Lolly,
01:08:10and a very important decision to make.
01:08:24What do you think of the name?
01:08:25Oh my gosh, I love it!
01:08:27I have to admit, Rory came up with it.
01:08:29This is definitely taking things to the next level.
01:08:31I'm having a lot of fun doing it,
01:08:32and, you know, got a lot of free time
01:08:35while the eatery's closed.
01:08:36How long do you think it'll be closed?
01:08:38I don't know. I keep racking my brain
01:08:40to figure out how Daphne and I can save this place for Dad,
01:08:43and I just...
01:08:45I think I'm gonna have to let it go.
01:08:48I happen to have a friend who's a commercial real estate agent.
01:08:52He can get an appraisal for the property,
01:08:55if you're interested.
01:08:58Yeah. Yeah. Thanks.
01:09:01Okay.
01:09:05Perfect.
01:09:11Yeah, peach lilac. Definitely my favorite.
01:09:13Well, I think that's your sixth.
01:09:15That's seventh, but no one's counting.
01:09:17I'll make you some more, okay?
01:09:18No, please don't.
01:09:19You have too much on your plate right now.
01:09:21I don't need any more.
01:09:22Are you kidding me? It's the least I can do.
01:09:23This has been such a huge help.
01:09:27What's that?
01:09:28That is the cabin that I'm closing on in the Boundary Waters.
01:09:32My realtor keeps sending me these random photos
01:09:34just to make sure that I don't back out.
01:09:36Don't you dare. It's beautiful.
01:09:38You've always wanted a house up there.
01:09:40Well, Sam's gonna love it.
01:09:42I mean, it's definitely our happy place.
01:09:45I can't wait to get her up there.
01:09:47I just need to get it dialed in before she comes back from Europe.
01:09:50When's that?
01:09:51Three weeks.
01:09:52So I'll go up at the end of the month
01:09:54and then stay until the hockey season starts.
01:09:58That's really soon.
01:10:01Time is a way of flying by up here.
01:10:07So we were looking next for a physical therapist.
01:10:10Right.
01:10:11So I compiled a list of all the physical therapists
01:10:14that are under your insurance.
01:10:15I think you have a couple of good options here.
01:10:17Wait, is there anyone named Ramona?
01:10:19Ramona.
01:10:21Um, I don't know.
01:10:24Oh, yes.
01:10:26Let's go with her.
01:10:27I have a gut feeling.
01:10:29Okay, we will go with Ramona.
01:10:31Ramona.
01:10:39How are you feeling, Dad?
01:10:41Well, half of me feels like the other half
01:10:43isn't pulling his own weight.
01:10:45Look at that.
01:10:46Your dark sense of humor is still intact, I see.
01:10:48Got me through the food in the hospital
01:10:50and the rehab clinic.
01:10:51I can't wait to get into the kitchen
01:10:54and cook up some real meals.
01:10:56You know, the kitchen's been closed for two weeks now, Dad.
01:11:00Which is longer than the eatery has ever been closed before.
01:11:03And you have a very long road of recovery
01:11:05and physical therapy ahead of you,
01:11:07and we don't have the finances to bring on another cook.
01:11:10Look, I know you don't want to hear this.
01:11:12No, I don't.
01:11:15But I already know what you're going to say.
01:11:19And you're right.
01:11:22I've been fighting it a long time.
01:11:25Can't believe I lost Irene's legacy.
01:11:29Hey, no, Dad.
01:11:30You didn't lose it.
01:11:31You just need something different now.
01:11:33Mom would understand.
01:11:35I'm sure of it.
01:11:36How can you be so sure?
01:11:38Mom was a wise woman.
01:11:40She wouldn't want you killing yourself
01:11:42to keep it open just for her.
01:11:43I mean, would you want her to keep the diner open
01:11:46just for you?
01:11:47No.
01:11:48I'd want her to be happy.
01:11:55Okay.
01:11:57We can let it go.
01:11:59Okay, Dad.
01:12:01And you know what?
01:12:03We're going to throw a huge celebration
01:12:05for you and Mom.
01:12:06Champagne, cook up all that cod,
01:12:08invite all your friends.
01:12:10What do you think?
01:12:13I'd like that.
01:12:18I don't know what I'm going to do
01:12:20with all that free time, though.
01:12:22Oh, I'll get it.
01:12:24First, you're going to have physical therapy.
01:12:26Just give it a chance.
01:12:27You know, you might end up liking it more than you think.
01:12:30I tried it in the hospital.
01:12:32I tried it in the rehab center.
01:12:34Everyone, this is Ramona.
01:12:36Which means you must be Martin.
01:12:38Marty. People call me Marty.
01:12:40Very nice to meet you, Marty.
01:12:42Are you ready to get started?
01:12:44Looking forward to it.
01:12:46Okay.
01:13:08So what do you think?
01:13:09You going to make it permanent?
01:13:11I don't know.
01:13:12Adopting a dog is like a pretty big decision.
01:13:15It does feel kind of meant to be, doesn't it?
01:13:17Your parents had a hunch.
01:13:19I don't want to give them the satisfaction of knowing that,
01:13:21but yes, they knew exactly what it would take
01:13:24to get me out of my shell.
01:13:28It's going to be weird not having you
01:13:29at the farewell party.
01:13:31Yeah. I wish I could be there.
01:13:34So what time are you hitting the road?
01:13:368 a.m.
01:13:38I'm going to get up there while it's still light.
01:13:40I figured it's the first day in the cabin.
01:13:42I should probably put a line in the water.
01:13:44Catch a big old walleye for me.
01:13:53I'm going to miss you.
01:13:59Yeah. I'm going to miss you, too.
01:14:03Being back here in Lakeville has been
01:14:05very meaningful to me,
01:14:07and that has to do almost entirely because of you.
01:14:11I just wish...
01:14:14I wish you could come with me.
01:14:18Yeah, I do, too.
01:14:20But I can't, and it's not because I'm too scared.
01:14:23I...
01:14:24The timing isn't right.
01:14:26Well, what if we make the timing right?
01:14:29Doesn't it feel like the universe has kind of
01:14:31brought us back together again?
01:14:32Don't you want to see how that's going to turn out?
01:14:36I can see a future with us together.
01:14:40But...
01:14:41Like you said, you have to be there for Samantha.
01:14:44She needs your full attention right now.
01:14:46Plus, I got to get my business going
01:14:48and help Dad get back on his feet.
01:14:50This is for the best.
01:14:53This kind of feels like deja vu, doesn't it?
01:14:56Except...
01:14:58we're making the mature decision.
01:15:02Right.
01:15:12Okay.
01:15:15Come on, buddy.
01:15:20Hey, Rory.
01:15:22Yeah?
01:15:23Don't be a stranger, okay?
01:15:26I won't.
01:15:32Come on.
01:15:33You gotta go.
01:15:42It's good to see you.
01:15:44This is for you, Lolly.
01:15:46Thank you, honey.
01:15:47You're welcome.
01:15:48Hey, how are you?
01:15:50Can I pour some for you over here?
01:15:52Did you get one?
01:15:53Okay, good.
01:15:57There's more pie on the counter.
01:15:59Speech!
01:16:01Speech!
01:16:03Speech!
01:16:05Speech!
01:16:07Speech!
01:16:09Speech!
01:16:11Speech!
01:16:12Yeah, say something.
01:16:13Come on.
01:16:14Well, thank you, everyone,
01:16:16for being here with us to celebrate the eatery.
01:16:2060 years ago,
01:16:22our grandparents started this restaurant.
01:16:25They came here as immigrants
01:16:27with the hope that they could bring people together
01:16:29over good food.
01:16:31I think they succeeded.
01:16:33We've had a lot of really special moments
01:16:35and good memories.
01:16:38And that is the true legacy of the eatery.
01:16:40So let's raise our glass
01:16:43to the eatery and all that she's done for us over the years.
01:16:46Cheers!
01:16:59Hey, you okay?
01:17:01Yeah, I just got some news
01:17:04and I don't exactly know what to do.
01:17:06Good news?
01:17:07I was accepted into that yoga instructor academy in Bali.
01:17:11They just sent me the registration.
01:17:13It starts in October.
01:17:14Wow, congratulations!
01:17:15Yeah.
01:17:17Maybe I should decline.
01:17:18What? Why?
01:17:19Well, you know, things are so different now
01:17:21than when I first applied.
01:17:23You know, with Dad's situation,
01:17:25you're gonna need some help, right?
01:17:26You should go.
01:17:28You hated the idea.
01:17:30I hate the idea of you being so far away.
01:17:33But it's your dream.
01:17:34And take it from someone who knows a thing or two
01:17:36about putting your dreams on the back burner.
01:17:38And I'm telling you, it's not worth it.
01:17:41And what about Dad?
01:17:44I think Dad's gonna be just fine.
01:17:47Was he flirting?
01:17:49I sure hope so.
01:17:52You sure you're gonna be okay?
01:17:55Promise. Go.
01:17:57Find your bliss.
01:17:59Find my bliss?
01:18:01Ask Aunt Gert and she'll explain.
01:18:04Find my bliss? Okay.
01:18:13I'm really proud of you, Lolly.
01:18:15You know, it's a really scary thing
01:18:17for anyone to ship their career,
01:18:19but if anyone can do it, I know it's you.
01:18:21I really do think Lolly's Pops is the answer for me.
01:18:24It fulfills everything that I wanted from toast
01:18:26and everything my grandparents wanted from the eatery,
01:18:29which is just to make people happy through food.
01:18:32I'm Rory.
01:18:38Well, open it.
01:18:46Intriguing.
01:18:51Lolly, I saw this and I thought of you.
01:18:53You have always made the best of every situation you're in,
01:18:56and I admire you more than you could know.
01:18:58I wish you the best and so much more.
01:19:01Love always, Rory.
01:19:19Excuse me, ladies.
01:19:24Well, I'm gonna read the note.
01:19:26Yeah, obviously.
01:19:31Rory gave this to me.
01:19:34It's beautiful.
01:19:37This is my fourth lemon drop.
01:19:40It's the only reality I want.
01:19:42I don't need another one.
01:19:44I mean, I love the idea of toast,
01:19:46but not at the expense of my relationships.
01:19:50And as much as I know,
01:19:52we would love Mom to be here still.
01:19:55I know she wouldn't want it if it meant that we lost Dad.
01:19:59I agree.
01:20:01And Rory?
01:20:05As tempting as that life was.
01:20:09Be selfish of me to take away his life's passion.
01:20:11That's not real love.
01:20:13Well, I can't say I'm surprised.
01:20:16I didn't use the last drop.
01:20:19Well, your mother refused to even try them.
01:20:22My mom knew about the drops.
01:20:24She was with me the night I got them.
01:20:27The four you had were hers.
01:20:30She gave them back to me because she said
01:20:32this is the only life she ever wanted,
01:20:36with all its perfect imperfections.
01:20:40So I held on to the drops
01:20:42in case either of you girls should ever need them.
01:20:45Daphne seemed to have a grip on where she was headed,
01:20:48but you, my dear,
01:20:50took after your Aunt Gert.
01:20:54Thank you for helping me, C.
01:20:57You're not done yet.
01:20:59What do you mean?
01:21:01Your father's on his path.
01:21:03Daphne's about to embark on hers.
01:21:05You know what you don't want.
01:21:07Now it's time for you to find your bliss.
01:21:24We're not going to throw the ball.
01:21:26We're going fishing.
01:21:28We're just going fishing today.
01:21:30We're not going to go with the ball.
01:21:32All right, I tell you what.
01:21:34Do you want to go?
01:21:36There we go.
01:21:38That should take a while.
01:21:45Hey, stranger.
01:21:49You're here.
01:21:51I am.
01:21:53You're not a hologram.
01:21:55I'm not a hologram,
01:21:56and I don't have to take a nap.
01:21:58Never going to live that down, am I?
01:22:01How did you find me?
01:22:03I asked your parents.
01:22:04Okay.
01:22:05Wow, you weren't kidding.
01:22:07This is incredible.
01:22:09Yeah, um,
01:22:10I gotta say, I am a little confused
01:22:13because I thought that we were maybe
01:22:15taking this time to focus on our own lives.
01:22:18No, that hasn't changed.
01:22:20And I know Sam's going to be here soon,
01:22:22and she's still your priority,
01:22:23but I did just drive seven hours to tell you this,
01:22:26so let me just say what I'm going to say,
01:22:28and then I'll hit the road.
01:22:29I've been doing a lot of thinking
01:22:31about what I want my life to look like,
01:22:34and amongst a lot of different possibilities,
01:22:37one thing I am sure of is I want you in it.
01:22:41Okay.
01:22:42All of you.
01:22:44All of you.
01:22:45Your kindness, your generosity,
01:22:47and even your forgetfulness.
01:22:51Wow.
01:22:52I love you, Rory.
01:22:55And you're worth the wait.
01:22:57So when you're ready,
01:22:59I would like to give us a chance,
01:23:02if that's something that you also...
01:23:06I never imagined I'd feel something this close
01:23:09to burning inside.
01:23:12Baby.
01:23:13Is that a yes?
01:23:15Yeah.
01:23:17Good together.
01:23:19You don't, I won't give in.
01:23:23I won't give in.
01:23:29Baby, with me.
01:23:33Grab it!
01:24:03Baby, with me.
