00:00:00well the first thing you have to understand is romance isn't all about cleverly plotted
00:00:11meet-cutes and low-stakes misunderstandings easily resolved over the course of a musical montage
00:00:17don't get me wrong those work i i love those stories i just i think there's room for
00:00:23other types of love stories too money okay act like you know
00:00:31some duos might look like the perfect pairing outwardly
00:00:37when in fact
00:00:41they're headed for a split
00:00:44often the most satisfying stories are the ones that subvert your expectations
00:00:51because the truth is the most romantic stories
00:01:00are often the least typical
00:01:03you see researchers studying online dating discovered if a person's too focused on checking
00:01:12off a list of rigid criteria in a partner if they're too fixated on finding a quote-unquote
00:01:17soulmate they're likely to miss out on their true compliment a partner whose differences fit their
00:01:22own like interwoven fingers creating a firm lock hey watch where you're going

00:03:43rapid development of new tech has shaped me into a flawless multitasker it's a blessing and a curse
00:03:47well what are you posting anyway most recently our sticky fingered friend
00:03:52what am i looking at the classify app is like a million apps how am i supposed to keep track
00:04:00exactly why you'd love this one sort of an all-in-one local events and dating stuff rolled into one
00:04:05and uh shaming local shoplifters exactly like a bulletin board for the neighborhood digital classifieds
00:04:14okay this guy's looking for pictures of feet no thank you come on taylor
00:04:20every neighborhood has its endearing weirdos not all the posts are like that you should
00:04:25seriously consider advertising the blue myria on here a bunch of local shops do it between two
00:04:30covers post for all their in-store events really check it out calling all book lovers flash your
00:04:37classified bit checkout for a free gift with purchase what are they giving away i don't know
00:04:42naughty bookmarks maybe that's not the point the point is it draws in new customers i will think
00:04:48about it you know you won't just say you won't i will think about it
00:04:52okay so i know that we've gone back and forth on this a few times but uh i really think this design
00:05:01is going to do the trick i think it captures the spirit and the the energy that uh between two covers
00:05:07has um um brought back to the penfield business district you know it's bold it's graphic
00:05:14and it announces we sell books here so you know that's um i'd be ready to start priming the wall
00:05:23just as soon as you know you need to go ahead on the design and i want to sign off i told you the
00:05:28owner is very particular i have to clear everything past them right yeah this mysterious owner that i've
00:05:33never met what can i say they're a private person yeah so we're 100 sure that they exist right this
00:05:39isn't some ploy i've made up to frustrate you zach trust me i have better ways to spend my time too
00:05:44something okay bowling league drama you know they lured me in with their clever classified post but
00:05:52it's only been a month and there's already infighting over the lane assignments in langford lanes
00:05:56langford lanes wow i still have that place
00:06:00um so when do you think i can get an answer on these uh soon hopefully definitely soon
00:06:07so is it like a singles thing or no it's not a singles thing why is it that everyone assumes
00:06:17a single woman with a fulfilling career and an active social life is still on the hunt for a man
00:06:21i'm stuck at home with my long five-haired cats watching bridal shows and dreaming of the day some
00:06:26man will save me from my lonely spinster life i love those shows i only have one cat and she
00:06:31requires a lot less feeding than a boyfriend i like my life yeah got it sure um just bowling yeah
00:06:40that's all i'm saying yeah i guess i just thought that classified was like a dating app so
00:06:43some people use it that way i don't well who knows that headache right
00:06:48sorry i went a bit off there no no let's say it was very uh uh hostile no no i was gonna say
00:06:57righteous uh we'll get back to you on these yes uh free bookmark for your troubles
00:07:06you ever read through two of these and realize the posters are actually perfect for each other if
00:07:16only they connect and figure it out yeah i think you overestimate the amount of time i spend thinking
00:07:20about the love lives of strangers on an app like like this one they're asking for advice on starting
00:07:25an urban vegetable garden this one wants to meet up with local vegans how perfect is that let me see
00:07:30that okay neither of these people is looking for a romantic connection frank everybody's looking
00:07:37for a romantic connection even the vegans please tell me you don't message these people um
00:07:42yeah very selectively yeah you are like a nosy grandmother my online persona is more like hard
00:07:51to nail down man of mystery maybe i'm available maybe i'm not maybe you're delusional yeah
00:07:57uh this person for example needs me they're never going to find their soulmate with a post like
00:08:07this ready to bloom where i'm planted creative soul seeks deeper connections translation i'm a
00:08:14friendless loner whose therapist says i need to put myself out there more they need me you are reading
00:08:20way too much into that oh really no it continues let's share all penfield has to offer that's that's
00:08:27what is wrong with that what what is wrong with that that's too transactional translation i don't
00:08:32care how cheap this date is we're still splitting the bill okay now you're just twisting their words
00:08:37no these people aren't desperate maybe just cliche this is why you're still single no that is not
00:08:46why i'm single god just promise me you won't message that guy excuse me francesca this sad
00:08:54ineffective post was clearly written by a woman i'm ready to blossom where i'm planted
00:08:58well that screams georgia o'keefe well man woman whoever they're just looking for some company
00:09:05okay nothing wrong with that okay if that's how you feel
00:09:10she's within a five mile radius go get a frankie no you know what i don't have the time
00:09:18between work and my extremely high maintenance friendships my plate is full
00:09:23besides there's no algorithm on earth that can accurately predict romantic compatibility
00:09:29you're right it's all chemistry
00:09:33it's like taking a seat at the local bar striking up a conversation with a handsome stranger
00:09:39what can i get you
00:09:41the suction
00:09:43now my know-it-all editor says i need to incorporate more social media into my books
00:09:50says it's so ubiquitous these days that a world without it is entirely too fictional
00:09:54so you're catfishing locals as you travel from town to town
00:09:58excuse me i am doing research while i'm on my book tour
00:10:01ah professional catfishing then
00:10:03i am not trying to fool anybody or pretending to be somebody else
00:10:07the last thing i'm looking for is love i want access
00:10:11yeah access to what banking information
00:10:13no i'm good there
00:10:15that you are
00:10:16people's hopes
00:10:18dreams and hang-ups
00:10:21you know
00:10:22to my editor's point we all live online these days
00:10:25you know we're not individuals so much as
00:10:27usernames that are connected to a catalog of things that we consume
00:10:31like tv movies and organic dishwashing detergent
00:10:36there's no accidental discovery
00:10:38you know and it's life through a filter and it's just
00:10:42it's kind of superficial
00:10:43exactly
00:10:44given the opportunity for some good old-fashioned analog exchange
00:10:48you can get somebody to confess their deepest longings and fears in no time
00:10:54i'm sure you run across that and
00:10:56your line of work
00:10:58a stranger comes in bellies up to the bar and starts
00:11:01oversharing
00:11:01it happens all the time
00:11:03mm-hmm

00:15:32Radio silence.
00:15:34Boo.
00:15:34Yeah, I'm calling it a night.
00:15:36It seems that my lonely local has not been enticed.
00:15:40Or maybe he slipped in just under the wire.
00:15:46Mom?
00:15:51What are you doing here?
00:15:55When did you get here?
00:15:57Are you visiting or staying?
00:15:58Why didn't you text?
00:16:00It was a last-minute addition to my book tour.
00:16:02I was going to reach out first thing tomorrow.
00:16:05Hello, hello.
00:16:07Wow, so your publisher finally sent you to Penfield.
00:16:09Yeah, well, you know, it's not always about the total reach,
00:16:12but the level of enthusiasm.
00:16:13They thought that a passionate hometown crowd
00:16:16would generate excellent press for my latest release.
00:16:19Well, uh, welcome home.
00:16:23Are you staying here?
00:16:24The penthouse suite.
00:16:26Well, why don't you just stay at the house?
00:16:28I mean, there's plenty of space.
00:16:30I left your room the same.
00:16:30Your shoes, Dad's ties.
00:16:31Oh, you know, I wouldn't want to impose or...
00:16:35But look at you.
00:16:36You look so handsome.
00:16:37I mean, what are you doing here?
00:16:39Are you meeting someone?
00:16:40A date?
00:16:40Um, I was, yeah.
00:16:43Kind of.
00:16:44Oh, look at me.
00:16:45Wrecking your plans already.
00:16:46Well, where is she then?
00:16:48I don't know.
00:16:50It's kind of an unconventional setup.
00:16:52Oh, a blind date?
00:16:54On Classify, actually.
00:16:57Oh.
00:16:58Yeah, I don't know what she looks like.
00:17:00I don't even know her name.
00:17:01She just told me to meet her at the bar,
00:17:03and she likes gin martinis, so...
00:17:08She's not coming.
00:17:14You're ready to bloom, aren't you?
00:17:17Oh, no.
00:17:18No, no, no, no.
00:17:19Don't be embarrassed.
00:17:20No, I think that these things
00:17:21probably happen all the time.
00:17:22What? To who?
00:17:24God, I finally posted that app,
00:17:25and I pick up my mom.
00:17:26It doesn't even live here anymore.
00:17:27You know what?
00:17:28I think that it proves
00:17:29that you and I, we're compatible.
00:17:31Mom.
00:17:31What?
00:17:32Wait, why are you even on the Classify app?
00:17:35I mean, are you dating again?
00:17:37First of all, don't look so horrified.
00:17:39No, I'm not.
00:17:40I am just doing research for my book.
00:17:43That's all.
00:17:44You're catfishing strangers for research?
00:17:46That's what I'm saying.
00:17:49Wait.
00:17:50Does Taylor even know that you're here?
00:17:52Well...
00:17:53Well...
00:17:55Just had to begin again
00:18:16Had to get through the maze
00:18:21You're not hard as a muscle, are you?
00:18:31It's me, I'm rooting for you
00:18:33Thanks?
00:18:35No, not actually rooting, it's my screen name
00:18:38From Classify?
00:18:41Wrong guy
00:18:41Right, clearly
00:18:43Sorry, enjoy the coffee
00:18:46You know, I was worried that you might be too cool for me
00:18:53But thanks for putting my mind at ease
00:18:57I'm Frankie, Francesca, nice to meet you
00:19:08It's just the third shelf to your left

00:19:16Hello
00:19:16Amelia Bloom
00:19:19Yes
00:19:20Welcome to Between Two Covers
00:19:23We weren't expecting you yet
00:19:26But I confirmed the dates with your publisher
00:19:28And, um
00:19:30Amelia Bloom
00:19:32And do you have a name?
00:19:34Yes
00:19:34And it is?
00:19:36Margot, the manager
00:19:38Ah, well, Margot, the manager
00:19:40I came in a few days early
00:19:42To make the most of this last stop on my tour
00:19:44You may know that I lived in Penfield for many years
00:19:46I know everything about you
00:19:47I mean, I know everything that is normal to know
00:19:50Okay, well, I am looking for a little hole-in-the-wall jewelry shop
00:19:54Where my husband used to buy me things
00:19:55And I feel certain that it is just right around her somewhere
00:19:59It was just right around the corner
00:20:00Oh
00:20:01But they went out of business
00:20:02About three-ish years ago
00:20:04Three years, really?
00:20:07Yeah, uh, it's a coffee shop now
00:20:10Super cute
00:20:11I can, uh, take you there
00:20:14If you want
00:20:15Um, aren't you supposed to be working?
00:20:18Oh
00:20:18Yeah, I think you should stay working
00:20:20And you should get everybody very excited about my book reading
00:20:23Okay?
00:20:23Okay, I am
00:20:24I mean, we are
00:20:25All of us
00:20:26Okay
00:20:27Oh, actually, Margot
00:20:29Yes, Miss Bloom
00:20:30Um, do you happen to have some water?
00:20:34Because I forgot to take my vitamins
00:20:38I, uh, I'm not sure why I
00:20:58Sorry, um, I'm, I'm Taylor
00:21:00Yeah, you thought I was a guy, didn't you?
00:21:03No
00:21:03I mean
00:21:05Yes
00:21:06Yes, I did
00:21:07Guilty
00:21:08No, it's all good
00:21:09It happens all the time in my line of work
00:21:10Which is personal training?
00:21:14No
00:21:14I'm flattered, but no
00:21:16I'm
00:21:17Sorry, just the screen name
00:21:19Hard as a muscle
00:21:20Yeah, I'm a doctor
00:21:21A cardiologist
00:21:22That's
00:21:23Doctor?
00:21:24Yeah
00:21:24I've got the MD and the med school debt to prove it
00:21:27That's great
00:21:28And not the debt part
00:21:30Um, hey, Taylor
00:21:33If, um, if you're not interested in coffee
00:21:36You just say the word
00:21:37Personally, I love coffee, so
00:21:39I'll be fine with my latte either way
00:21:41Marga?
00:21:50Mm-hmm
00:21:51Everything okay?
00:21:52I just met Amelia
00:21:54Bloom
00:21:55Already?
00:21:56I thought you confirmed the dates
00:21:58I did, but she's in town early
00:21:59And she just, ha, casually swung by
00:22:02Is she still in the shop?
00:22:04Nope
00:22:04She just left
00:22:04But she is exactly like I always imagined
00:22:07Smart and glamorous
00:22:09Ha, double force of nature
00:22:11Oh, did you
00:22:13Did you want to meet her?
00:22:15I'm sorry
00:22:15You're usually behind the scenes, guys
00:22:17No, no, no
00:22:17It's fine, actually
00:22:19It's for the best
00:22:19We've already met
00:22:21You know Amelia Bloom?
00:22:26Why didn't you say something?
00:22:28Well, because I don't actually know her
00:22:30Not anymore
00:22:31Anyway, this design doesn't really show what makes us special
00:22:39But we're a bookstore
00:22:40Yeah
00:22:41I'd like him to take another pass
00:22:42Less books
00:22:45Let him down gently
00:22:48So you really had no idea?
00:22:56No
00:22:56How could I?
00:22:57It's anonymous
00:22:58Well, my best friend Max is convinced that he can tell
00:23:01Like, age, gender, level of desperation
00:23:05Well, I am happy to prove him wrong
00:23:07If you guys have that kind of, you know
00:23:09Casual, competitive friendship
00:23:10Oh, yeah, definitely
00:23:11Ever since pre-med
00:23:12Mmm
00:23:13How is the latte, by the way?
00:23:16Delicious
00:23:17You know, I've been meaning to come in here for ages
00:23:20My shop is right around the corner
00:23:21But it's just, it's hard to get away during work hours
00:23:24It's my first year in business
00:23:26So it's kind of make or break
00:23:28You don't have any help?
00:23:29No, I do
00:23:30I have a college junior
00:23:32Who might just be better at my job than I am
00:23:34Mmm
00:23:34It's just, I
00:23:36You like being in control
00:23:37Yeah, yeah, I guess I do
00:23:41Um, so your post actually really resonated
00:23:45With, uh, being a fellow workaholic
00:23:48Now, I really think that we should reframe it as
00:23:51High-achieving and detail-oriented
00:23:53Mmm
00:23:53Yeah, there's plenty of people who get total fulfillment from their work
00:23:57I wish I got total fulfillment
00:23:59I think at this point it's mostly just total fear
00:24:02Oh
00:24:02Yeah, I'm not obviously dealing with life or death stakes the way you are
00:24:07But my business does consume my life
00:24:11Yeah, I'm there morning till night
00:24:13And then, even when I'm not there
00:24:15I'm just worried that it's, you know, catching fire
00:24:18Or getting robbed
00:24:20Or failing
00:24:21Wow, I really need to see this flower shop now
00:24:25You know, it's actually more of a, um, plant store and artisanal goods boutique
00:24:31But, you're welcome anytime
00:24:34All right
00:24:35I have a question for you
00:24:37Cute
00:24:40I, I don't want to offend or anything
00:24:42Oh, it's gonna be a good one then
00:24:45Why did you post in the first place?
00:24:49Uh, you know, you seem to have a great career and, and incredible friends
00:24:53Don't people try to set you up all the time?
00:24:56Most of the time it's really just my patients trying to set me up with their grandkids
00:25:00And always women?
00:25:03Are you asking who they try to set me up with or who I would actually take out?
00:25:09The latter, I guess
00:25:11I had girlfriends in college
00:25:14And, um, dated women here and there throughout med school
00:25:18And, um, it just got easier to be a fantastic physician than a fantastic partner
00:25:25I think now I finally have my feet under me
00:25:27And if I don't put myself back out there now
00:25:30Maybe I never will
00:25:31Who knows?
00:25:35Maybe there's someone out there who feels the same and wants to share
00:25:38Share a life together?
00:25:39Yeah, that, or, I was gonna say, uh, just a nice bottle of wine in a movie
00:25:43Oh, yeah, yeah, that sounds more sane
00:25:48Light and spontaneous, right?
00:25:51I can't remember the last time I did something spontaneous
00:25:54Doesn't this count?
00:25:57Yeah, I guess it does
00:25:59Well, good
00:26:01Look at you
00:26:03Look at me
00:26:05Look at us
00:26:07Hope you don't mind
00:26:27I had to open without you
00:26:28I texted
00:26:29Did you?
00:26:32I didn't notice
00:26:33It looks great, though
00:26:36You never let me open so low
00:26:37No?
00:26:39No
00:26:40Are you okay?
00:26:42Yeah, I'm great
00:26:43I don't know, maybe I'm over-caffeinated?
00:26:46No, you're, like, the opposite of over-caffeinated
00:26:49Where's my real boss?
00:26:52The one who likes to shelve the aloe plants by height?
00:26:54She's just trying to be more open to things
00:26:57You know?
00:26:59But do not touch the aloe plants
00:27:00Want me to get that?
00:27:03No, I got it
00:27:03Mom
00:27:08Look at this place
00:27:10You really did it
00:27:12What are you doing here?
00:27:14Well, I thought it was time to come and see what my children have been up to
00:27:18And, I mean, just look at this
00:27:22The pots and the plants
00:27:24It's just fantastic
00:27:26And you really look the part of a scrappy young business owner
00:27:30Because I am, Mom
00:27:31This is not a costume
00:27:33No, no, it sure is not, of course
00:27:36I know that
00:27:37It's so great to see you, Taylor
00:27:40I really missed you
00:27:41Miss Blue
00:27:43Oh, hi
00:27:44Hi, I'm Hannah
00:27:45Nice to meet you
00:27:46Taylor didn't mention you were coming to Penfield
00:27:49Well, I'm really just passing through
00:27:52In fact, you should come to my reading at Between Two Covers
00:27:56Later this week
00:27:57Now it makes sense
00:27:58I wanted to invite you and Zach personally
00:28:02Ah, wow, that's so nice
00:28:04Sort of how I invited you to my grand opening
00:28:07Ah, I know
00:28:08I so wish I could have gotten away for that
00:28:11Yeah, yeah, me too, Mom
00:28:12It's been a long time
00:28:14Well, as a young business owner yourself
00:28:16You understand how crucial it is to prioritize
00:28:18Everything but family, yeah
00:28:20Is it Hannah?
00:28:26Yeah
00:28:26Would you mind?
00:28:27Oh, yeah, I'll just go
00:28:28I'm gonna measure the aloe plants
00:28:31Uh, I am here now, Taylor
00:28:40And I really am looking forward to spending time with you and your brother
00:28:46And we have so much to catch up on
00:28:48Yeah, well, unfortunately, I'm really quite busy
00:28:52Um, I don't know, maybe if you'd called ahead or ever
00:28:56Ever
00:28:56Well, I sent birthday cards and letters
00:29:00Yeah
00:29:01Yeah, Zach still hangs those on the fridge
00:29:04I'm sure he'd love to see you
00:29:05Look, I'll
00:29:08I'll try and come to your thing
00:29:10Okay?
00:29:11I know how really important it is to you
00:29:13Thank you
00:29:14But I didn't just come here for work
00:29:17Because we have a lot of things that we need to discuss
00:29:23Important things
00:29:25But did you decide to sell the house?
00:29:27Evict Zach?
00:29:28Yeah, figured that was coming
00:29:29Taylor
00:29:30No
00:29:31Your father trusted me to do the right thing
00:29:35And I will always take care of you and Zach
00:29:37Mom, you left
00:29:41As soon as he died
00:29:43We went from having two loving parents to none
00:29:48In the space of a year
00:29:49That's not something you can just fix with a pit stop on your book tour
00:29:54Now look, I'm sorry, but I really do have to get back to work
00:30:00Which I'm sure you understand
00:30:02Yeah
00:30:24Ms. Bloom?
00:30:32Are you okay?
00:30:33Not fine, I'm fine
00:30:34Mom?
00:30:40So you did, no
00:30:41I was gonna text you
00:30:44She wanted to surprise you
00:30:47Yeah, well, she did
00:30:48She showed up at the Bloomeria today
00:30:50And acted like it hadn't been five years
00:30:52And I take it that was a warm welcome
00:30:54I think she's really trying, Tay
00:30:57Do not Tay me
00:30:59Were you two co-conspirators on this?
00:31:02Did you plan this?
00:31:02No
00:31:03I didn't even know she was coming
00:31:04It's just
00:31:05I don't know
00:31:07Maybe it's time to leave the past in the past
00:31:10Cut her a break
00:31:13Of course she tracked you down first
00:31:15All right, what's that mean?
00:31:18You're just like Dad
00:31:19Okay, first of all
00:31:22She didn't track me down
00:31:24Okay, whatever you say
00:31:25And furthermore
00:31:26What is wrong with being like Dad?
00:31:28Come on, Zach
00:31:29You let people take advantage of you
00:31:31All the time
00:31:32That's not true
00:31:33Really?
00:31:34So you wanna tell me how many drafts you've done
00:31:36Of these murals?
00:31:37What, five?
00:31:38Six?
00:31:39Sometimes you just have to cut your losses
00:31:41And stop holding on to that tiny shred of hope
00:31:45That people won't continually disappoint you
00:31:47I didn't come
00:31:52Look, I don't wanna fight with you
00:31:56I'd rather you fight with me than with Mom
00:31:59I'm sorry
00:32:00I didn't mean
00:32:03I think you said exactly what you meant to say
00:32:04Maybe you're right
00:32:07Maybe I am a pushover like Dad
00:32:11But I would rather be that than
00:32:14You know she's only here for her book signing, right?
00:32:21She didn't come to apologize
00:32:22It's not about us
00:32:24I should get back to this
00:32:28Sure
00:32:29Zach
00:32:42She had five years to fix all of this
00:32:46It's too late
00:32:49So I will tolerate Mom's presence in Penfield
00:32:55Because I love you
00:32:56But no matter what you want to believe
00:32:59I know that Mom will be out of here
00:33:01As soon as she gets her fill of her hero worship
00:33:03I'm listening
00:33:11Okay, so she's never dated a woman before
00:33:13So she's straight
00:33:14Why aren't we evolved enough to admit
00:33:16That human sexuality exists on a spectrum?
00:33:18Okay, so she's bi
00:33:19I don't wanna assign labels
00:33:24Or make any assumptions, okay?
00:33:25She said she's never met a woman who interests her rapport
00:33:29You know, sometimes you just don't know until you know, you know?
00:33:34So again, I asked, what's the problem?
00:33:37I just, I don't wanna fall for her
00:33:38If we're, if we're destined to end up as platonic friends
00:33:42Okay
00:33:44There was this thing between us
00:33:47You really liked her, huh?
00:33:52Yeah, of course I did
00:33:53Which inevitably means
00:33:54I'm never gonna hear from her again
00:33:56Come on
00:33:57Let's probably hear her
00:33:59Go on, check it
00:34:00Go on
00:34:04Check it
00:34:06Need to blow off some steam
00:34:12Are you up for an adventure outside of the coffee shop?
00:34:15Ooh
00:34:15She's asking me out on a date, right?
00:34:18Yeah, an adventure
00:34:20That could mean anything
00:34:22Is it a date?
00:34:23Or not a date?
00:34:24Oh, oh, so now you understand the value of labels like that?
00:34:27Yeah
00:34:27Not helping
00:34:28Oh, oh, okay, okay
00:34:29So, just ask her for some clarification
00:34:34But, like, in a flirty way
00:34:38Flirty clarification, okay, okay, yes
00:34:42Um, I don't know how to do that
00:34:47What?
00:34:52What's good?
00:34:53What you doing?
00:34:55Super cash
00:34:56Now I'm actually interested
00:34:58I may have gone on a date
00:35:00Through that app
00:35:02You use Classify?
00:35:05Boss
00:35:05I'm so proud
00:35:07What?
00:35:08Did you totally blow it?
00:35:10No
00:35:10At least
00:35:12I don't think I did
00:35:13It was supposed to be a quick coffee
00:35:15And we talked for three hours
00:35:17Ha
00:35:17I knew something was up
00:35:19You never let me open so low
00:35:20Then I asked if they wanted to go on another date
00:35:23And it's been three blinking dots
00:35:26Ouch
00:35:27Wait, so that is bad
00:35:30Well, not necessarily
00:35:31But it's probably more complicated than you thought
00:35:33Like, I don't know
00:35:36Maybe he's seeing multiple people
00:35:37And he really likes you
00:35:39But he just doesn't want to lead you on
00:35:41In case you really like someone else more
00:35:43Or he's married
00:35:44That's always a possibility
00:35:45Don't think it's that
00:35:48You don't know
00:35:50People lie
00:35:51Well, he's not married
00:35:53And he's not dating a lot of
00:35:55What am I even saying?
00:35:58Uh, he
00:35:59Isn't, uh, he
00:36:02What is this for?
00:36:10First of all
00:36:10I'm super proud of you
00:36:12For embracing this new possibility
00:36:13And second
00:36:15Getting ghosted by a woman
00:36:17Has got to be so much harder
00:36:18Wow
00:36:20I'm not getting ghosted
00:36:23Am I?
00:36:29Hannah
00:36:29Okay, I'm just gonna say
00:36:31I'd love to see you again
00:36:33Is this a date date?
00:36:34Not a date
00:36:35Right?
00:36:36Do, do, do, do not send that
00:36:37No?
00:36:38No, just
00:36:39Give me the phone
00:36:40I'll handle this
00:36:41I'll handle this
00:36:41Yeah, I got this
00:36:42Oh, no
00:36:43I'll handle it
00:36:43This is Dr. Murray speaking
00:36:45I'll be right there
00:36:50Bye
00:36:52Go, go
00:36:56I got this
00:36:58I know things might seem dark right now
00:37:05But I promise
00:37:07In time you'll
00:37:08Find other women
00:37:09Or men
00:37:10Or
00:37:11Whatever
00:37:12You made real strides today
00:37:14You're not gonna pass out, are you?
00:37:18I'm not trying to make this about me
00:37:19Okay
00:37:19What is it?
00:37:21Is she having a heart attack?
00:37:22Is she dying?
00:37:23No, just, um
00:37:23You can ignore Margo
00:37:25Okay
00:37:25Is this your daughter?
00:37:27No, no
00:37:27She's actually
00:37:28My bookseller
00:37:30Oh, which reminds me
00:37:32Uh, you should really
00:37:33Come
00:37:34To
00:37:35My book reading
00:37:36Yes
00:37:37Um
00:37:38Yes, okay
00:37:39Amelia
00:37:40When you transferred into my care
00:37:43You promised me
00:37:44That you were gonna
00:37:44You were gonna stop drinking
00:37:46You were gonna monitor your diet
00:37:47And you were gonna take your medication religiously
00:37:49And you assured me
00:37:50That you had the necessary support systems in place to help you do that here
00:37:54Well, I have, um
00:37:56I have Margo
00:37:58She is very supportive
00:38:02How do you have to have you?
00:38:04Out of your doctor
00:38:05Yes
00:38:06Yes
00:38:07Amelia
00:38:08I thought the whole point of receiving treatment in Penfield was so that you could be closer to your family
00:38:11For their support
00:38:12Why aren't they here?
00:38:14Yeah
00:38:15Well, I am, um
00:38:17I am working on that
00:38:19Well, your chart indicates that you're not
00:38:22And I'm concerned that you could have another cardiac event
00:38:24Okay
00:38:24I will do better
00:38:25I, I, I will do better
00:38:27Better, better, better
00:38:28I promise
00:38:29Well, I'm telling you
00:38:30At this point
00:38:31You have no other option
00:38:33A mimosa while you wait, Ms. Bloom
00:38:40Oh, yes, please
00:38:41Actually
00:38:43Sorry
00:38:44Could you just give me the juice part?
00:38:47And
00:38:48An herbal tea
00:38:50No problem
00:38:51Hi
00:39:00Hi
00:39:01Uh, are you being followed?
00:39:05Am I?
00:39:06Zach
00:39:06It's a joke
00:39:07Sit down
00:39:08Sorry, it's just
00:39:09This feels strange
00:39:12Not inviting Taylor
00:39:13I doubt you're gonna get spotted here
00:39:15Because apparently she never steps foot outside of her shop
00:39:18We still do family dinner
00:39:19Every week
00:39:21You do?
00:39:22I think you two have been good to each other
00:39:24No, we didn't really have a choice, so
00:39:26Your juice
00:39:28And the tea
00:39:29Oh, no, sorry
00:39:30She only drinks coffee
00:39:31Buckets and buckets of coffee
00:39:33No, no, no
00:39:33Zach
00:39:34It's, it's totally fine
00:39:35It's
00:39:36So herbally
00:39:37Thank you
00:39:39You okay?
00:39:43Oh, yeah
00:39:44No, I'm
00:39:45So happy
00:39:46That you were free
00:39:47To come and join me for breakfast
00:39:49Conveniently
00:39:49I have no life
00:39:50I have no life
00:39:50So
00:39:51You have your work
00:39:52Is that not going well?
00:39:53I'm designing a mural for Between Two Covers
00:39:55In a bookstore
00:39:56It nearly folded like a couple years ago, I think
00:39:58Yeah, it seems that they're having a comeback
00:40:00If they're commissioning murals
00:40:02And, you know, hosting my book reading
00:40:04At least one of those will be a success
00:40:06I'm just a little bit stuck
00:40:09Creatively
00:40:11Has that ever happened to you?
00:40:13What am I thinking?
00:40:14Book a year
00:40:14You're a machine
00:40:15That is not always a good thing, Zach
00:40:17Your sister
00:40:19You know what I mean?
00:40:19I mean, she's more like me than she'll ever admit
00:40:22You know, she's stubborn and driven and single-minded
00:40:25And, you know, it's why she's going to make that shop a wild success
00:40:28But I just hope that she doesn't neglect the rest of her life to see it succeed
00:40:31I was thinking maybe you could, you know, talk to her
00:40:39It's not like I have all the answers
00:40:41I mean, my personal life's probably going worse than the mural
00:40:44Recent highlights include an accidental date with my mom
00:40:46Maybe you're just an analog guy like your dad
00:40:51He was always so old-fashioned that way
00:40:53I was thinking about our bowling nights recently
00:40:57I have to confess
00:40:58I always felt a tiny bit left out
00:41:00Ah, your dad, he always understood the need to live and play
00:41:04I kind of struggled with the balance of that
00:41:08I know that you still miss him
00:41:14And I want you to know that I miss him
00:41:17Still
00:41:19Desperately
00:41:22And I know I haven't been a very present parent
00:41:29But I'm here now
00:41:32Let me try
00:41:35I gotta ask
00:41:38What's with the tea?
00:41:42Well, that is just a healthier alternative
00:41:45So, yeah, and I've also stopped drinking
00:41:49What?
00:41:51Yeah
00:41:52Hannah, do you know where the rest of the healing amethyst crystals are?
00:41:56I thought we'd place another order
00:41:58But I can't seem to find any
00:41:59Uh, have you checked wherever you keep your very tiny fairy lights?
00:42:05Okay, you laugh
00:42:06But I do stock very tiny fairy lights
00:42:08Oh, I would be disappointed if you didn't
00:42:11That is quite the glass thing
00:42:16Uh, special order terrarium
00:42:18Oh
00:42:19Hi
00:42:19Hi
00:42:20You
00:42:21I
00:42:22Ah, thank you
00:42:23Um
00:42:24You found my shop
00:42:27I did
00:42:28Did you know that there are very few artisanal pottering plant shops within walking distance
00:42:32to jokes?
00:42:33Right
00:42:33Right
00:42:34Um
00:42:34So you aren't ghosting me?
00:42:39Did you expect me to?
00:42:40No
00:42:40No
00:42:41I, uh
00:42:42You know, the three dots of death thing
00:42:45Um
00:42:46My
00:42:46Employee
00:42:48Told me to abandon all hope
00:42:50Oh, no
00:42:51I
00:42:51I'm so sorry I left you hanging
00:42:53I got called into work last night
00:42:55Oh
00:42:55I mean, yeah, I totally get it
00:42:58I get called into work all the time
00:43:00For emergencies
00:43:01You know, over-watering
00:43:02Emergencies
00:43:03And, and under-watering
00:43:05Ha
00:43:06I know you're joking
00:43:07But
00:43:07Don't downplay what you do
00:43:09You managed to keep a small business open
00:43:11In a terrible economy
00:43:12That's really impressive
00:43:13I tell her that all the time
00:43:15Hi
00:43:17Hi
00:43:18Sorry, I'm
00:43:19I'm Hannah
00:43:20Oh, yes, uh, Frankie
00:43:21Nice to meet you
00:43:22You know, we should, uh
00:43:25Find a place to talk
00:43:26But, um
00:43:27Maybe not
00:43:27Here
00:43:28Yes
00:43:30Um
00:43:31Can I steal you tonight?
00:43:35I'm not on call
00:43:35I love this
00:43:37This is
00:43:38Really good
00:43:40Uh, Hannah
00:43:41Could you
00:43:43Maybe go look for that box of crystals?
00:43:51I, uh
00:43:52I close up at seven
00:43:53Seven
00:43:54Um
00:43:54Okay
00:43:55Could you sneak away like an hour early?
00:43:57I really want to show you this
00:43:58This thing
00:43:59But it's kind of time sensitive
00:44:00Um
00:44:01That's just a little tough
00:44:03Cause I
00:44:03I can close tonight
00:44:04In case anybody was wondering
00:44:05I will make it work
00:44:07Apparently
00:44:08Yeah
00:44:09Great
00:44:10Okay
00:44:11I will
00:44:12I'll see you then
00:44:13Bye
00:44:15Bye
00:44:15Good call, boss
00:44:19She's hot
00:44:21Hot doctor
00:44:22Stop
00:44:239-1-1
00:44:25I've got a fever
00:44:26And her name is Dr. Frankie
00:44:28You know what a second date means
00:44:30Right
00:44:31You should probably have the talk
00:44:35Oh, Madeline, Madeline, Madeline
00:44:40I am going to need your stiffest
00:44:42Shirley Temple
00:44:44You're sure I can't tempt you with a glass of wine
00:44:46It's nearly happy hour
00:44:48No, thank you
00:44:51This book isn't going to write itself
00:44:52Excuse me, miss
00:44:56Is this a seat taken?
00:44:57Depends who's asking
00:44:59Your biggest admirer
00:45:02Brian Thompson?
00:45:07Yep
00:45:07Is that you?
00:45:08Yep
00:45:08What?
00:45:09Oh, my gosh
00:45:10Hello
00:45:11Welcome home, man
00:45:16Thank you
00:45:17So this is why you asked me
00:45:21To leave the clogs at the shop
00:45:22Well, it's not a super challenging hike
00:45:24Just enough to get the blood flowing
00:45:25Okay, just for your information
00:45:27I'm not super outdoorsy
00:45:28Most kids, they go camping
00:45:30I went bowling with my dad
00:45:32Are you in?
00:45:38I can't believe you have my very first
00:45:40I mean, and this is an absolutely perfect, perfect condition
00:45:43You've obviously not read it
00:45:44Of course I read your book, Em
00:45:46Really?
00:45:47Yeah, I read all your books
00:45:48I saved this one for an inscription
00:45:50If you would do me the honor
00:45:51Of course
00:45:52But first, you owe me an explanation
00:45:55Huh, what do you mean?
00:45:57How did you know I was staying here?
00:45:58Between two colors
00:46:01Is Margo going around telling people my business?
00:46:04No, she did, however, tell her employer where to find you
00:46:07You own the bookstore?
00:46:09Mm-hmm, yep
00:46:09What?
00:46:10You're kind of responsible for that
00:46:12I used to read their short stories you wrote
00:46:15Oh, oh, those were bad
00:46:17Yeah, they were fantastic
00:46:18And they got me hooked
00:46:20And I started spending way too much time reading
00:46:22While gradually going to resent my actual job
00:46:25Which was?
00:46:27Accountant
00:46:28I know
00:46:29I know
00:46:29I know
00:46:30Sorry
00:46:31But I'm really good at balancing the books
00:46:32I know
00:46:33So what made you decide to buy the bookstore?
00:46:36Some people go through a midlife crisis
00:46:39After my divorce
00:46:41Between two covers was mine
00:46:43Oh
00:46:44No
00:46:45No
00:46:45No infidelity, no kids, nothing like that
00:46:49Nothing for your next book
00:46:50I just came to realize that I was more excited about the prospect of
00:46:55Saving a community treasure than it was
00:46:57Saving my own marriage
00:46:59And ironically for once
00:47:01My ex was on the same page
00:47:03I have to confess
00:47:07I wasn't sure that
00:47:08I didn't feel that ever
00:47:09Gets you back after your husband fast
00:47:12Yes, ma'am
00:47:14Oh, thank you
00:47:15What are you drinking?
00:47:17Oh, this is a Shirley Temple
00:47:18A Shirley Temple?
00:47:19Yeah
00:47:19Well, I'm working
00:47:21And I'm, you know
00:47:22I'm trying a whole new
00:47:25Diet
00:47:27Why?
00:47:28You're, you're stunning
00:47:30You're as stunning as you ever were
00:47:31Oh
00:47:32Oh, thank you
00:47:33Um, but no
00:47:34It's just, um
00:47:36Yeah
00:47:37It's not a vanity thing
00:47:38Oh
00:47:38Just
00:47:39Is it a health thing?
00:47:49Wow
00:47:49Not too bad, right?
00:47:52I mean
00:47:53Please tell me I don't have to start hiking on the regular
00:47:56Sometimes it's worth the effort
00:47:58I gotta be honest
00:48:04I really don't know what I'm doing
00:48:06Yeah, well, it's just one foot in front of the other, really
00:48:11I am not talking about hiking
00:48:13Yeah, I know
00:48:15Frankie
00:48:18You are amazing
00:48:21In every way
00:48:23But
00:48:25Yeah
00:48:26I wouldn't be so worried if I wasn't convinced I was gonna somehow screw this up
00:48:56Well
00:48:58If that's your main concern
00:49:00I can promise you that we all screw it up at some point
00:49:06Well, that's comforting
00:49:08Just being honest
00:49:10That doesn't scare me
00:49:17That makes one of us
00:49:20I cannot believe how long it's been
00:49:47I really didn't mean to stay away as long as I did
00:49:49Just once I was gone
00:49:51It was easier not to feel his crushing absence every single second of every single day
00:49:56We built
00:49:57We built
00:49:57We built a life here together
00:49:59We built a home
00:50:00We shared our first kiss right across the street
00:50:05I can see how that would be difficult
00:50:10Impossible
00:50:11And the kids don't understand
00:50:15I did not leave
00:50:18To hurt them
00:50:20I left
00:50:20So that they wouldn't have to live with all of my pain
00:50:23They had enough of their own to deal with
00:50:25And did you explain it to them like that?
00:50:27Well, Taylor wouldn't let me
00:50:30And
00:50:30Besides, I'm just really not good at these conversations
00:50:35Andy
00:50:36Was always the one that comforted them
00:50:39You just gotta find a way to talk to Taylor
00:50:43If she's anything like you, she'll understand
00:50:45Once you get past the bristling, angry part
00:50:49Good luck to me
00:50:51Right
00:50:52I'm sorry
00:50:53You know what?
00:50:54I really didn't mean to unload all of this on you
00:50:57I should have just signed your book and let you go on your way
00:51:00I don't feel that way
00:51:07I think we both know that I've always said a thing for you
00:51:13Really?
00:51:15Yeah
00:51:16It just
00:51:18It felt wrong bringing it up with your husband
00:51:20Oh, please
00:51:21He knew too
00:51:22Why do you think you proposed so quickly?
00:51:25I knew it
00:51:25See?
00:51:26You snooze, you lose, buddy
00:51:27That's the way it goes
00:51:28It's nice to think that we still have hand-breaking choices
00:51:32And me with the bookstore
00:51:35And you with your kids
00:51:38Well, I certainly know that it's on me to make things right
00:51:41After my heart attack, I realized
00:51:44Oh, maybe I don't have all the time in the world to find my way back there
00:51:47Then my kids will never know
00:51:49Why I left
00:51:51Oh, God
00:51:54Hey
00:51:56You okay?
00:51:59No, no, it's not that
00:52:00I, I, I
00:52:01Look, let me take you back to the hotel
00:52:03You know what?
00:52:04If you don't mind
00:52:05I
00:52:06Think I have a better idea
00:52:08Taylor?
00:52:11Is that you?
00:52:14Hi, honey
00:52:15Mom
00:52:16All right
00:52:17Call me for your day
00:52:18Thank you so much
00:52:19Thank you
00:52:20I'm home
00:52:24So, you're moving in?
00:52:29Um, well, you offered, didn't you?
00:52:31Yeah, you turned me down
00:52:32I thought you were leaving town right after your reading
00:52:34I never said that
00:52:36No, I think that, um
00:52:37I think there are some reasons that I should stick around for a while
00:52:41It's not because of that guy, right?
00:52:43I mean, why'd you even meet him?
00:52:44Technically, the hotel bar
00:52:46Mom
00:52:46You've got to be careful
00:52:48He could be trying to scam you
00:52:49I mean, you're kind of a high-profile person around here
00:52:52Oh, just around here?
00:52:53I was looking for international notoriety
00:52:55You know what I mean
00:52:56He's not trying to scam me, Zach
00:52:58He's an old friend
00:52:59I know, it's weird to think that I had a life before kids
00:53:04But I did
00:53:05Mom
00:53:05Zach, Zach, Zach, Zach, Zach
00:53:07I did not come here to talk about Brian, okay?
00:53:10I should have told you this right from the start
00:53:17I didn't come to Penfield for a stop on my book tour
00:53:22I asked my publisher to find a reason to send me here
00:53:26Because I needed to see you and your sister
00:53:29What's going on?
00:53:32I had a heart attack
00:53:33A heart attack?
00:53:34A few months ago
00:53:35Mom
00:53:36But don't worry
00:53:37I am being treated by an excellent specialist
00:53:40It's just that the whole recovery thing
00:53:43Apparently
00:53:44Is
00:53:45Could take longer than I'd expected
00:53:49And
00:53:49I can't believe you had a heart attack and didn't tell us
00:53:55Now you're mad?
00:53:57No, I'm not mad
00:53:58I'm furious
00:53:59Well, I wanted to tell you earlier
00:54:01But your sister
00:54:02No, no, no
00:54:02Don't blame her
00:54:03I know she gives you a hard time
00:54:05But that was your choice
00:54:06We've always been living with the repercussions of your choices
00:54:10I mean, you think you're protecting us
00:54:12But by keeping a distance from us
00:54:14But you're just driving a wedge deeper
00:54:15Sorry, Zach
00:54:18Clearly this was a bad idea
00:54:25Clearly
00:54:25I mean, it was a bad idea
00:54:26And I knew it was a bad idea
00:54:28Right, well, there you go again
00:54:29Just walking away
00:54:29Just like Taylor Wood said
00:54:30Put your bags down
00:54:31Mom
00:54:32All right, this isn't a debate
00:54:35Zach, you are such a gifted artist
00:54:48And why am I eating this so hard?
00:54:51I've made half a dozen versions
00:54:52They've all been rejected by this mystery owner of Between Two Covers
00:54:55Well, I'm sure that he or she knows how capable you are
00:54:59It's just a matter of, you know, reconceptualizing
00:55:02I think I'm going to tell them to find another artist
00:55:05What?
00:55:10Mom, you can tell me
00:55:11I don't want to wear out my welcome that quickly
00:55:13Mom
00:55:14Your dad was always so good at this
00:55:16He always knew what to say, when to say it
00:55:18How to say it
00:55:20I mean, it really was because of him
00:55:25That I finished my first book
00:55:27Yeah, I think he's the only reason I ever finished art school
00:55:31See?
00:55:33I mean, sometimes I feel like
00:55:35I'm trying to be helpful
00:55:37But it just comes off as criticism
00:55:39Well, that's not entirely inaccurate
00:55:42But this time, I am asking for your feedback
00:55:46So, lay it on me
00:55:49Well, just maybe you're focusing too much on the business
00:55:55You know, where are the people that make Penfield special and unique?
00:56:01You know, not the dead famous authors
00:56:04But the real flesh-and-blood people
00:56:07Hmm
00:56:10Thanks, mom
00:56:13All right
00:56:14So, now that I have solved your problem
00:56:17I need you to help me with mine
00:56:18All right, family dinner
00:56:24Let's do this
00:56:25Once
00:56:27I have a lot to glue you in on
00:56:28Hey, honey
00:56:30I hope you don't mind
00:56:31I am cooking tonight
00:56:33What is going on?
00:56:36Mom's kind of, uh, staying here now
00:56:39You set me up
00:56:41No, no, no, no
00:56:42No one set anybody up
00:56:44Uh, it's family dinner tonight
00:56:46And I'm part of the family
00:56:47Still
00:56:49You know, I have a lot that I needed to talk to you about
00:56:52Alone
00:56:52Tay, come on
00:56:54It's one dinner
00:56:56See you next week
00:56:58Taylor
00:56:59You're gonna make me chase you?
00:57:04Come on, Tay, wait
00:57:05Look, I should have told you she was here
00:57:08But I didn't think you'd come
00:57:08Yeah, of course I wouldn't have
00:57:10I thought I made myself perfectly clear
00:57:12You can make nice with her all you want
00:57:14I am not interested
00:57:15There are things she wants to tell you
00:57:17Needs to tell you
00:57:18Okay?
00:57:19And I can't
00:57:19I can't choose between you two anymore
00:57:21Look, this isn't what Dad would have wanted
00:57:24For any of us
00:57:26I'm not ready
00:57:28I
00:57:30I just, I really wanted to talk to my brother tonight
00:57:34And you still can
00:57:35Hey, do you really want to play fake happy family all dinner?
00:57:39No
00:57:39Okay, no dinner
00:57:41Change your plans
00:57:45Hey, not bad
00:57:54You have impeccable form
00:57:56And, uh, really a bad aim
00:57:58Why do I remember being so much better at this?
00:58:00Because Dad always let us use bumpers
00:58:01No, he didn't
00:58:02Yeah, he did
00:58:03Until you hit puberty and started growing a mustache
00:58:06My turn
00:58:07Watch and learn, bro
00:58:08I don't know
00:58:17I don't know
00:58:17What?
00:58:25Thank you very much
00:58:26That does not count
00:58:28Zachary, Zachary, Zachary
00:58:30You gotta just find what works for you
00:58:32And quit worrying what it looks like to everyone else
00:58:34Okay
00:58:36Okay, Yoda
00:58:37That was slushy for you, I think
00:58:39Yeah
00:58:39Zach
00:58:45This was a really good idea
00:58:48Mostly because I wanted
00:58:51Okay
00:58:53Whoa!
00:59:00That's right
00:59:01Margo
00:59:05I guess the, uh, bowling league lured you back in
00:59:09For a year with a, um
00:59:11Bowling league?
00:59:13Yeah, guilty as charged
00:59:14Actually, I've been finding the seeds of revolution
00:59:17Trying to unseat the power-tribbing dust bottle insert
00:59:20Oh, yeah
00:59:22Oh, yeah, I can see that
00:59:23You know, I could always, uh, infiltrate the team
00:59:26And help bring them down or something
00:59:28Actually, I have a booklet
00:59:31Great
00:59:32Put it in my calendar
00:59:33Hey, Zach
00:59:35You, uh, ready to go?
00:59:37Uh, yeah, um
00:59:37Margo, this is, uh, Taylor
00:59:38My sister
00:59:39Yeah, um
00:59:41Taylor, this is Margo
00:59:42She manages the bookstore
00:59:43It is really nice to meet you
00:59:46I'm super impressed with what you've done with the place
00:59:48Oh, thanks
00:59:49Yeah, it'll be even better once Zach Smurl is up
00:59:51Yeah, about that
00:59:53Um
00:59:53I think I may have something for you soon
00:59:56Really?
00:59:58Really?
00:59:58Yeah
00:59:59Mom helped me with it
01:00:00Really
01:00:01Oh, well, I, uh, I can't wait to see it
01:00:04Uh, and I'll keep you in the loop about the, uh, the revolution
01:00:08Yes
01:00:08Well, uh, have a good, uh, bowl
01:00:15Like, say, bowl now
01:00:17Thanks
01:00:17All right
01:00:17It's so nice moving now
01:00:19Yeah
01:00:19I'm gonna go now
01:00:20Bye
01:00:20I'll, um, I'll, I'll send you the
01:00:22Yep, yep, yep, yep
01:00:22He'll, he'll do the thing
01:00:23Bye
01:00:24What happened to you back there?
01:00:26I don't know
01:00:27It just came out of my mouth
01:00:28Oh my gosh
01:00:29You should ask her out
01:00:32But, like, on a real date
01:00:33Please don't take her bowling
01:00:35It is not romantic
01:00:36Yeah, I don't think she's interested
01:00:38But she's definitely interested
01:00:40Yeah, you don't know this girl
01:00:42I mean, she's got a very strong opinion about women's independence, don't you?
01:00:46She also had a very strong opinion about your butt
01:00:48Okay, no
01:00:49We're not going there
01:00:50We're not discussing that
01:00:51Why not?
01:00:53Well, first off
01:00:54Since when are you the authority on dating?
01:00:57I mean, you haven't dated anybody since, what, college?
01:00:59I'm actually seeing someone now
01:01:01Now you are
01:01:04I am
01:01:05I swear
01:01:07It's, uh, it's new
01:01:09But it's actually going really well
01:01:12Sailor
01:01:13That's why I freaked out about dinner
01:01:16I wanted to tell you
01:01:18What, you didn't want mom to know that you're dating someone?
01:01:22I didn't want mom to know that I am dating a woman
01:01:26Oh
01:01:29Not, not because she's a she
01:01:34Just, like, mom and I don't have that kind of relationship
01:01:38You know, I can't talk to her about the big stuff
01:01:42Well, maybe she can't talk to you either
01:01:45Either way, I don't need her pretending to care
01:01:49I wouldn't hate some help from you, though
01:01:55Can you please say something?
01:01:59Well, I don't know what to say
01:02:01I mean
01:02:01Does it really matter?
01:02:04Does it make a difference?
01:02:06I mean, I don't care if you date a woman or a man or both
01:02:09Just
01:02:10As long as whoever it is
01:02:13Is good to you
01:02:14Did I say the wrong thing?
01:02:18You said exactly the right thing
01:02:26You're the first person I've told
01:02:30Besides Hannah
01:02:31You told Hannah before me?
01:02:33I may or may not have briefly spiraled
01:02:36Well, I think it's great
01:02:39So, what will I refer to this woman as?
01:02:42I can't just keep calling her this woman
01:02:43Frankie
01:02:45Okay
01:02:46Francesca
01:02:47From Classify
01:02:50You didn't
01:02:52I definitely did
01:02:54Yeah, you should take that
01:02:56She probably thinks I murdered you
01:02:58And just gone to the body
01:02:59Uh-huh
01:03:00Hey, Mom
01:03:02That's fine, we're just
01:03:03Yes
01:03:06We'll be right there
01:03:09We gotta go
01:03:11That was Penfield General
01:03:13Mom just made a minute
01:03:14Oh, my gosh
01:03:16Mom, you had a heart attack
01:03:24And you weren't going to tell us?
01:03:25Oh, Dr. Murray
01:03:26These are my children
01:03:27My son, Zach
01:03:28And my daughter, Taylor
01:03:30Hi, Dr. Francesca
01:03:31Murray
01:03:32Nice to meet you
01:03:32Are you kidding me right now?
01:03:34Taylor
01:03:34Zach
01:03:34Perhaps we should discuss your mother's condition
01:03:36Oh, yes, please
01:03:37Uh, excuse me
01:03:39Yes, very interested
01:03:40But, um, first
01:03:41Could someone tell me who this is?
01:03:43That's Mariah
01:03:43I'm an old friend of your mother's
01:03:45Great
01:03:46Now that that's perfectly clear
01:03:47Taylor, please
01:03:48Dr. Murray was the
01:03:49Would you prefer if we spoke in private?
01:03:51No, no, no
01:03:51No, I am done keeping secrets from them
01:03:53That is what got me here in the first place
01:03:55Well, based on what I'm seeing
01:03:57Amelia is no longer suffering from a heart attack
01:03:59Oh
01:04:00She is, however, suffering from a panic disorder
01:04:02Which could trigger many of the same symptoms
01:04:04Shortness of breath
01:04:05Tightness in the chest
01:04:06The good news is
01:04:07That it doesn't cause the same sort of physical damage
01:04:09To the heart muscle
01:04:10And now that we know what's going on
01:04:11We can more effectively treat it
01:04:13When you were pre-upset earlier
01:04:14Could that cause a panic attack?
01:04:15Emotional upset can absolutely be a factor
01:04:17Yes
01:04:18Okay, so, uh
01:04:19So it's our fault
01:04:20That are my fault, rather
01:04:21Right?
01:04:22Right, Frankie?
01:04:23Uh, there can be any number of contributing factors
01:04:27Wait, this is good news, right?
01:04:30Yeah
01:04:30Wait, wait, wait
01:04:31Frankie, Frankie
01:04:32Like, Frankie, Frankie
01:04:33Did you know she was mom's doctor?
01:04:38Till 20 minutes ago
01:04:39I didn't even know mom had a doctor
01:04:40What am I missing here?
01:04:42You know what?
01:04:42I'm gonna go get some air
01:04:44Does anyone need anything?
01:04:45No?
01:04:46Good
01:04:46Zach, will you go check on your sister, please?
01:04:54Yeah
01:04:54You know what?
01:04:55Let me
01:04:55You should stay with your mom
01:04:56What?
01:05:00What is going on there?
01:05:02I don't know what you're talking about
01:05:03Okay, but they know each other
01:05:05Yeah, no, it seems like it, doesn't it?
01:05:07Yeah
01:05:07But she's a cardiologist
01:05:09And your sister pots plants
01:05:10I mean, they don't exactly, you know
01:05:11Move around in the same circles
01:05:13Maybe we should put the oxygen mask back on
01:05:14They'll be back in a minute
01:05:15But they're friends
01:05:16Yeah, I know, it looks like that
01:05:18Like friends with palpable tension
01:05:20Are they involved?
01:05:24Should I get a nurse?
01:05:25No, do not get a nurse
01:05:27My daughter is dating a doctor
01:05:30I didn't make the connection
01:05:38Until she listed you as her emergency contact
01:05:40You never talk about your mom
01:05:42My last name wasn't a giant red flag for you?
01:05:44No, it wasn't rooting for you
01:05:46Right
01:05:48But even if I had found out sooner
01:05:51I don't regret getting to know you
01:05:52I wouldn't take that back for anything
01:05:55She listed me as her emergency contact
01:05:58You and your brother?
01:06:01We've barely spoken in years
01:06:02I know I'm just getting to know Amelia
01:06:06And I know she puts on a tough front
01:06:07But I think she's got a lot of regrets
01:06:10Well, she should
01:06:11She came a long way to seek this treatment
01:06:14She could have gone to another specialist
01:06:16In another city
01:06:17And she didn't
01:06:18She came here to be near you
01:06:20Didn't tell me you were a therapist too
01:06:24Taylor
01:06:25How would you feel if it had been another heart attack?
01:06:29Is this how you'd want to leave things with your mom?
01:06:31You know, if you said so yourself
01:06:32You're just getting to know her
01:06:33I've had decades of experience
01:06:35Panic disorder?
01:06:37No, it's Amelia got her feelings hurt
01:06:39And then she called a doting admirer to come comfort her
01:06:42And now the whole rest of the world has to stop to accommodate her
01:06:45But you're wrong
01:06:46Wow
01:06:47And you're being sort of cynical
01:06:49Which is not your best look
01:06:50If that's what you think of me
01:06:52That's how you're behaving
01:06:53How about I just make it really easy for us then?
01:06:58From now on, let's just stick to our jobs
01:07:00Finished all my tasks
01:07:12Thanks
01:07:13And got a head start on inventory
01:07:16Sounds good
01:07:17And since you're suddenly all checked out
01:07:19I'll be heading up our new marketing push myself
01:07:22Great, thanks
01:07:24Wait
01:07:26What new marketing push?
01:07:29Look, boss
01:07:30It's clear to me you've got a lot of life stuff you're dealing with right now
01:07:34So I'm more than happy to take on the store stuff for a while
01:07:37Hannah
01:07:38What did you do exactly?
01:07:43We are expanding our digital footprint
01:07:47Plant moms and plant daddies
01:07:51Plant daddies?
01:07:54Well, I was going to go for all my plant-loving nomies
01:07:56You know, to be more inclusive
01:07:57But it was over the word count
01:07:59Go green and shop local
01:08:01Present this at checkout for 10% off your next purchase at the Bloom area
01:08:05That's going to cut into our bottom line
01:08:08All I'm asking is for you to give it a chance
01:08:10Increased foot traffic will more than make up for the discount
01:08:13Um, what increased foot traffic?
01:08:15I just posted it today
01:08:16You've got to have more faith in people
01:08:18They showed up for other businesses that posted on Classify
01:08:21They'll show up for us
01:08:22And then you can give me my raise
01:08:23I will leave it up for a day
01:08:26Not ideal
01:08:27But I can work with that
01:08:28You do remember I own this place, yeah?
01:08:31Yes
01:08:32And on that note
01:08:33I was hoping to petition you for a slight alteration to the schedule
01:08:37I would like to leave earlier today
01:08:39Like approximately now
01:08:41Now?
01:08:43Yeah, there's an event I'd like to attend
01:08:45It's my mom's book signing, isn't it?
01:08:51Sorry
01:08:51I've been obsessed with your mom's spy novels
01:08:54Ever since my aunt inappropriately gifted them to me
01:08:56Thinking they were travel guides for young adults
01:08:58That's fine
01:08:59Go
01:09:00Have a nice time
01:09:01You're the best
01:09:02I'm going to say something and hope you don't fire me, okay?
01:09:10Well, I haven't fired you yet, am I?
01:09:13Some people don't have moms
01:09:14You know?
01:09:16Let alone wildly creative and complicated type moms
01:09:21That don't just tell you
01:09:23But also show you how you can be whatever you want to be when you grow up
01:09:26Look, Hannah, I know you mean well
01:09:28I'm just saying that
01:09:29Those types of people that don't have those moms
01:09:32They end up seeking out unconventional female mentorship
01:09:35Like at their part-time job, for example
01:09:38She left me
01:09:40No, I know
01:09:42But look
01:09:44I mean, look how much your world has grown
01:09:47And maybe hers has too
01:09:49And that's why she's back
01:09:51Really, how are you going to know
01:09:54Unless you just, you know
01:09:56Talk to her
01:09:58Am I fired?
01:10:02No
01:10:03No, you're not fired
01:10:05You're right
01:10:08You should go
01:10:09Have a great time
01:10:11And Hannah
01:10:13Mom or no mom
01:10:15You still managed to become one of the best people that I know
01:10:19Okay
01:10:23Alright, that's it
01:10:32If you delete an app, I'm deleting an app
01:10:34It's not the app's fault I felt
01:10:36You know, a narcissist with mommy problems
01:10:37You haven't even met her
01:10:39No, no
01:10:40But as your best friend
01:10:41It's my job to blindly protect you
01:10:43So I'm assuming this is entirely on her
01:10:45And you're a blameless angel, my friend
01:10:46Okay
01:10:47Well
01:10:48I may have overstepped a little with the unsolicited advice
01:10:51No, you give great advice
01:10:53Hey Q
01:10:54He'll be real comfort to me when I'm old and alone
01:10:56I don't know
01:10:59Old, maybe
01:11:00Alone, never
01:11:01I will be on this bar, Stu, whenever you need me
01:11:04I mean
01:11:06Unless I need my dream guy
01:11:07In which case
01:11:08He'll still invite you over like all the time
01:11:10Hey, you want to cut it out with the PDA?
01:11:17You people are going to think you're a couple
01:11:18You're right
01:11:21Hey, um
01:11:23Since you got the evening off
01:11:25I said you'd double down
01:11:26Order something really poisonous and hard to pronounce
01:11:28Yeah
01:11:29Duh
01:11:30I take it that wasn't mommy problems?
01:11:37No
01:11:38That's her loss
01:11:41Okay?
01:11:43Yeah
01:11:43Yeah
01:11:45Alright
01:11:46What are we ordering?
01:11:49Actually, would you be my plus one to something?
01:11:53Um
01:11:53Yes
01:11:54Okay
01:11:55Admire your hard work?
01:12:03Our hard work
01:12:04Thanks for pitching in
01:12:06There's no way I could have pulled this off alone
01:12:08Thank goodness the owner finally got out of his own way
01:12:12Well, it might have helped that he's got a soft spot for my mom
01:12:15Not at all
01:12:16I mean, I absolutely adore Amelia
01:12:18I didn't do you any favors
01:12:21Your mural is spectacular, Zach
01:12:23It announces that it's always been the people that make Penfield so special
01:12:26The town deserves it
01:12:27It's why I bought the bookstore in the first place
01:12:29I think there's still room for a little cameo of Penfield's most celebrated author
01:12:35So, did you talk to your sister?
01:12:40She isn't coming, Mom
01:12:42I texted, I called
01:12:45Spin radio sounds
01:12:46Hey, it's gonna be a full house
01:12:51Dozens of adoring fans
01:12:53And why don't I get you set up in the back
01:12:55Relax a little bit before we open the floodgates
01:12:57Great
01:12:58Well, I hope you are as happy with the final product as we are
01:13:03Hmm, actually
01:13:05What?
01:13:08Can't be serious
01:13:09I don't think I accurately captured your essence
01:13:12Oh, really?
01:13:15And what is my essence exactly?
01:13:18Neurotic bookworm?
01:13:19Brainy, persistent, original
01:13:21All the qualities that would convince a guy who hasn't had much luck with love
01:13:26To take a shot and ask the girl out
01:13:29Please don't say you have to run that by your boss
01:13:35I think that is a really solid proposal
01:13:40And I'm in
01:13:43Uh, did we just make that happen?
01:13:50I think that might be Brian's very subtle way of telling me to go do my job
01:13:54All right
01:13:56Find me after?
01:13:58Definitely
01:13:58Zach?
01:14:09Dr. Murray
01:14:10Hey
01:14:10I didn't know you were coming
01:14:11Honestly, I didn't either
01:14:13Until Amelia sent me the invite
01:14:15I wasn't sure if you were welcome
01:14:16Of course you are
01:14:17But, um
01:14:18I don't think Taylor's gonna show up, so
01:14:21But hey, if you wouldn't mind
01:14:23Would you maybe help me keep an eye on Mom?
01:14:25Yeah
01:14:25Make sure she doesn't know what to do
01:14:27Frankie, have you seen this?
01:14:29Uh
01:14:29I'm gonna sue for infringement
01:14:31Infringement on what?
01:14:32My impeccable jawline, for starters
01:14:34Yeah
01:14:34Okay, technically that's covered under artistic license
01:14:37So, uh
01:14:37Did she know that you painted her?
01:14:41She's been pretty distant since the hospital
01:14:43I take it she hasn't
01:14:45I know
01:14:45You wanna know the worst thing about my sister?
01:14:49Besides her bowling technique
01:14:50Her clogs?
01:14:52Mm
01:14:53The person she's best at punishing is herself
01:14:58Yeah

01:15:44Oh, thank you so much.
01:16:04Thank you, Margo.
01:16:05And a special thank you to Between Two Covers
01:16:07for hosting me tonight.
01:16:09I look forward to signing everyone's copies of my books
01:16:12after I have read an excerpt from my latest novel,
01:16:17The Problem with Prague.
01:16:20I have done this a few thousand times,
01:16:23but tonight just feels different.
01:16:26Since coming home to Penfield, I've just felt...
01:16:34Well, it's been...
01:16:35It's been an awakening.
01:16:42I left Penfield five years ago
01:16:44after my husband passed away.
01:16:46Well, left.
01:16:47Fled.
01:16:48The semantics are debatable.
01:16:50The reality is that I, uh...
01:16:53I abandoned my children.
01:16:56They were grown children,
01:16:59but, um...
01:17:01I stranded them to handle their grief alone.
01:17:06And for that, I am very sorry.
01:17:08The thing is,
01:17:11I really am not trying to make excuses here,
01:17:14but I could not imagine
01:17:15spending the rest of my life
01:17:17in the place that I'd raised my family
01:17:18without their father by my side.
01:17:20I assume you've all read my books?
01:17:33Yes.
01:17:34Sometimes,
01:17:36well, often,
01:17:37I write about love
01:17:39more nimbly than I manage it
01:17:42for myself.
01:17:44And I have missed out on so much
01:17:46while I've been away.
01:17:47This mural behind me,
01:17:50this was painted
01:17:51by my extraordinarily talented son.
01:17:57He is an artist,
01:17:59like me,
01:18:00but he sculpts his worlds
01:18:02with shape and color
01:18:04instead of dusty old words.
01:18:10And he always sees the best in everyone,
01:18:13even when they let him down.
01:18:15And there I go,
01:18:20talking about myself again.
01:18:23But that is a thing
01:18:24that my daughter might say about me,
01:18:26and, you know,
01:18:27she is not wrong,
01:18:28but she, too,
01:18:29is a bit of a chip off the old block,
01:18:31and she is living proof
01:18:32that sometimes being stubborn and driven
01:18:35is not a bad thing.
01:18:37Because without any help from anyone,
01:18:39least of all me,
01:18:40she has opened the Bloom area
01:18:42just down the street,
01:18:43a beautiful plant store.
01:18:45You should all go down there
01:18:46and see what her hard work
01:18:48and vision has created.
01:18:52And I wish she knew
01:18:54how proud I am
01:18:56of every brave choice
01:18:58she has made for herself.
01:18:59I just wish she would reconsider
01:19:03calling it off with my cardiologist,
01:19:04and I am happy to accept
01:19:06a referral elsewhere
01:19:07if that's what it takes.
01:19:10All of that to say
01:19:12that going forward
01:19:14in my personal life
01:19:15and with my writing,
01:19:16I want to pay tribute
01:19:18to the more complicated
01:19:20love stories that surround us.
01:19:22Because they're not all flawless.
01:19:24They're not all romantic.
01:19:26They're not all expected.
01:19:30And I don't need
01:19:31to transport myself
01:19:32or my readers
01:19:33to some far-flung country
01:19:36to find those love stories.
01:19:38Sometimes they're just
01:19:39right around the corner.
01:19:42Sometimes it's even on Classify.
01:19:48Local author ready to bloom
01:19:50where she's planted.
01:19:53Sounds awfully familiar.
01:19:54Just back in town
01:19:55and hoping to connect
01:19:56with familiar faces
01:19:57and new friends alike,
01:19:59let's write
01:20:00a beautiful story together.
01:20:02My chat is open.
01:20:11All right,
01:20:12shall we get started?
01:20:15The Problem with Prague,
01:20:18Chapter One.
01:20:20Her body ached.
01:20:22A constellation of fading bruises
01:20:24stretched from her right hip.
01:20:26Oh, I think I've lost my senses.
01:20:28Am I walking straight into a burning light?
01:20:33A burning light.
01:20:36Cheers.
01:20:38A lot more queen coming through.
01:20:43Beautiful.
01:20:44Right here, my dear.
01:20:47Hey, Mom,
01:20:48you plan on joining us anytime soon?
01:20:50Yes, absolutely.
01:20:52Just sometimes you have to get it down
01:20:53when the inspiration strikes.
01:20:55Making progress, Mom.
01:20:56I don't want to jinx it so.
01:20:58No, absolutely not.
01:21:00Have you given my question
01:21:02any more thought?
01:21:02Do I want to move home question?
01:21:04I have, and definitely not.
01:21:06Business is picking up.
01:21:07Oh, my book signing appeal, perhaps?
01:21:09Hannah's ad.
01:21:10We're rolling in plant parents
01:21:12and garden nomies
01:21:13or whatever she called them.
01:21:14She's more than earned her race.
01:21:15And your boyfriend
01:21:16has brought a very nice bottle of wine with him.
01:21:18He's not my boyfriend.
01:21:19He's just an old college friend.
01:21:21Sure, Mom.
01:21:22Funny, though,
01:21:23Zach did mention that
01:21:24you haven't been home
01:21:25most nights when he goes to bed,
01:21:26even when he's out late with Marco.
01:21:28Hmm.
01:21:29Well, your brother and I
01:21:31are going to need to have a little chat
01:21:32about what percentage of my royalties
01:21:35he can expect to inherit
01:21:36if he can't learn to keep his mouth shut.
01:21:39Can you get that?
01:21:40I need to have a little chat
01:21:42with your brother.
01:21:42Yeah.
01:21:44So.
01:21:47What did you tell me?
01:21:54Don't tell my girlfriend
01:21:55that I went to the other plant shop in town.
01:21:57Your girlfriend will forgive you this time.
01:21:59Good.
01:22:03Hmm.
01:22:05How are things going with your mom?
01:22:06She's trying.
01:22:07I'm trying.
01:22:08We're all just...
01:22:10Blooming where your plant at.
01:22:13Oh.
01:22:14Zach is never going to live that down, is he?
01:22:16No, never.
01:22:17Oh, I love it.
01:22:20Um, excuse me.
01:22:22Hi, ladies.
01:22:24Sorry to interrupt.
01:22:25Is this Amelia Bloom's house?
01:22:27Is she on some map of the stars or something?
01:22:30Does Penfield have a map of the stars?
01:22:33Ah, I thought that was you.
01:22:34There she is.
01:22:35Oh, ladies, this is not some crazed fan.
01:22:38This is my editor, Graham.
01:22:39I'm so glad you couldn't make it.
01:22:40Well, my best-selling author
01:22:42promised me a new book.
01:22:43Yes, yes, it's coming.
01:22:45It's coming.
01:22:45And I am doing something different.
01:22:47I'm going to tell you all about it after dinner.
01:22:49This is about to get really interesting.
01:22:51Why is that?
01:22:52He is totally Max's type.
01:22:54Oh, really?
01:22:55Yeah.
01:22:56Then we should go get good seats.
01:22:58Yes.
01:22:59saying,
01:23:01what's your name?
01:23:02I need some people to come.
01:23:08I love you guys.
01:23:09I love you.
01:23:10I love you first.
01:23:12There's another person.
