00:00:00Grandma Hannah always said, all it takes is just one moment to change everything.
00:00:19For Grandma Hannah and Grandpa Charlie, that moment happened the day they first saw the
00:00:25Inn at Apple Hill.
00:00:30They worked day and night, creating magical moments, not only for their guests, but for
00:00:40each other.
00:00:42Their son, my father, grew up at Apple Hill, and so after I was born, the Inn remained
00:00:47a constant presence in our lives.
00:00:51Apple Hill was a place where I could be anyone, do anything.
00:00:56All under the watchful eyes of my loving grandparents.
00:01:02All it takes is just one moment to change everything.
00:01:08Even moments beyond your control.
00:01:11After Grandma and Grandpa passed, I couldn't let that moment happen without taking action.
00:01:17After all, what was the value of my grandparents' efforts if I didn't step in to keep their
00:01:22magic alive?
00:01:23And it wasn't too long after securing the purchase of Apple Hill that I found myself
00:01:28signing a different set of papers.
00:01:30Then it's settled.
00:01:32Mr. Jones will assume ownership of the cabin.
00:01:34And Mrs. Jones will take...
00:01:36Ms. Jacobs.
00:01:38Ms. Jacobs will take full ownership of Inn at Apple Hill.
00:01:41If that's my liability, I'm not happy to say goodbye to.
00:01:48You never took even one moment to understand why Apple Hill is so important to me.
00:02:00Unlike Trent's lack of confidence in Apple Hill, I knew it just needed some TLC to bring
00:02:05it back to life.
00:02:07And I was up for the challenge.
00:02:09We can't touch the sky.
00:02:11Nose in time.
00:02:14To spread our wings and fly.
00:02:21Into the great wild world.
00:02:24Hi, I've been handing out umbrellas because it's raining.
00:02:26So I just wanted to...
00:02:28Let me move you to another table.
00:02:31I'm sure we can just...
00:02:33There were some unforeseen issues along the way.
00:02:38I will get it fixed as soon as I possibly can.
00:02:41I'm so sorry.
00:02:43Okay.
00:02:45We have a blender and a microwave.
00:02:47And I'm sure we could...
00:02:49No.
00:02:49Oh, Steve.
00:02:50Please.
00:02:51But there were some wins, too.
00:02:53On behalf of all of us at Inn at Apple Hill, we're honored to be named a Landover Historic
00:02:59Destination.
00:03:04Short-lived as they might be.
00:03:08We're working on that.
00:03:10Thanks, guys.
00:03:11These electrical changes will allow us to open three additional rooms.
00:03:26So you're not at full occupancy?
00:03:30There are not enough extension cords in the world.
00:03:34These changes will allow us to be at full capacity.
00:03:38And you think this will be as good as the day that Charlie and Hannah first opened their doors?
00:03:43That's the plan.
00:03:45But, you know, um...
00:03:48Hard times came to Charlie and Hannah as well.
00:03:51They had to defer a lot of maintenance just to get by.
00:03:54Ugh.
00:03:54I am painfully aware of that.
00:03:58But you have to start somewhere, Ted.
00:04:00And this is what they would have wanted.
00:04:02They would have wanted you to run an inn that's hanging by a thread on your own?
00:04:08I'm doing this to pick up where my grandma and grandpa left off.
00:04:15A lot of the larger hoteliers are partnering up with the boutique inns.
00:04:19A scout from Heston Hotels came last week, and it's like they smelled blood in the water.
00:04:23Well, partnering with them would help buffer Apple Hill from the slower months.
00:04:28It would help pay for unanticipated expenses.
00:04:31I would become an employee at my own business.
00:04:39At least I can't approve alone.
00:04:41Not without a 15% gross profit.
00:04:43Then I will get there.
00:04:50Look, that sounds great.
00:04:53But if your grandparents were here right now, they would say the same thing.
00:04:58What you want, all this, it's just not realistic.
00:05:03I'm sorry.
00:05:04Yeah, no, Anna, I know I said 12, but you know what I always say?
00:05:16If you are on time, you are, in fact, late.
00:05:19It's a joke, Adam.
00:05:21It's...
00:05:22Hello?
00:05:23Adam?
00:05:25Hello?
00:05:25No, thank you.
00:05:27No, thank you.
00:05:28Not during our lunch date.
00:05:32I was told this was a business meeting.
00:05:35Unfortunately, son, it's the only way I could get you to commit.
00:05:38It's time for us to celebrate.
00:05:41I'm going to stick with my regular double espresso.
00:05:43I have a big day today.
00:05:45Oh, please.
00:05:45You just completed Bellwether's acquisition of Starfield Hotels.
00:05:49You can kick up your feet a little.
00:05:51Now sit.
00:05:53Please.
00:05:53Is that coming from the CEO or my mother?
00:05:56Whichever one you're most likely to listen to.
00:05:58Cheers, darling.
00:06:00Cheers.
00:06:01Mmm.
00:06:02Mmm.
00:06:04By the way, I gave my team 90 days to submit the new financial to Bellwether's model.
00:06:08Is that realistic?
00:06:10I'm the CFO.
00:06:11Of course it's realistic.
00:06:13No wonder I've been fielding calls from your entire team.
00:06:15They're excited, right?
00:06:16What they are, Luke, is exhausted.
00:06:19I've been hearing they worked weekends, even overnights, to close this deal.
00:06:22Well, it's not uncommon for an acquisition of this size.
00:06:25And by the way, I didn't force anyone to do any of this.
00:06:27You didn't have to.
00:06:29Honey, you've been at the office morning, noon, and night.
00:06:31When you do that, people think they can't go home and enjoy their lives.
00:06:34What is happening?
00:06:41Replies to a very, very, very important email that I sent during their lunch break.
00:06:45Oh, Luke.
00:06:48Do...
00:06:48Come on.
00:06:51Do not make me count to ten.
00:06:53Don't count to ten.
00:06:53I will do it.
00:06:55One, two, three, four.
00:06:57Is that a turn of Banderas?
00:06:58Don't you really like that?
00:06:59Are you...
00:06:59Oh, just one second.
00:07:04Oh, no, you didn't.
00:07:05Desperate times call for desperate measures, Mom.
00:07:06I couldn't agree more.
00:07:11Leanne?
00:07:12Do it.
00:07:14What did you do?
00:07:20I deactivated your account.
00:07:23Let me do it.
00:07:23Let me do it.
00:07:24It's time for you to go on vacation.
00:07:26I don't want to go on vacation, Mom.
00:07:28Listen to me.
00:07:29Maybe not, but your team needs a vacation from you.
00:07:32So, for the next two weeks, your access to the office will be suspended.
00:07:35I'm sorry.
00:07:37Suspended?
00:07:37Yes.
00:07:38I don't want to be suspended.
00:07:39I want to do this.
00:07:40Just please.
00:07:41Oh, honey, I love you.
00:07:43But if you even so much as attempt to log in, you're fired.
00:07:48I don't know about you, but I'm starving.
00:08:00So close.
00:08:10Oops.
00:08:13Thank you again.
00:08:38Line up a tavern.
00:08:39Jared, it's Luke.
00:08:40Is it a good time?
00:08:42Luke, of course it's a good time.
00:08:43What's going on, man?
00:08:44I want to see what you're up to.
00:08:45Hey, hon.
00:08:46It's Luke.
00:08:48Luke?
00:08:48Yeah.
00:08:48Put him on video.
00:08:49Put him on video.
00:08:51No, no, no.
00:08:52It's okay.
00:08:52Hi.
00:08:53Hey.
00:08:55Oh.
00:08:56Oh, are you okay?
00:08:58No, I'm great.
00:09:00No, you don't look yourself, man.
00:09:01You look a little, um...
00:09:02Like, um, unkempt?
00:09:04Yeah.
00:09:05I'm not unkempt.
00:09:06I'm taking a few weeks off.
00:09:08A little vacation.
00:09:08Sorry, time off?
00:09:09You don't take vacation.
00:09:10Mm-mm.
00:09:11I do now.
00:09:12Like, twice if you're in danger.
00:09:14Look, Candace, right now I'm looking at a photo of us three.
00:09:18From what I think was the very opening of the tavern.
00:09:23I think we're about to do for a trip.
00:09:25Well, we're telling you that photo was taken over two years ago.
00:09:27How did it get you down here?
00:09:28That was two years ago?
00:09:29I mean, it was been three, but who's counting?
00:09:31But seriously, you should totally come down here and see all the changes we've made around
00:09:35here.
00:09:35Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:09:36Yes.
00:09:36I can't wait.
00:09:37Well, obviously you're going to stay with us because we've got a whole bedroom for you
00:09:40upstairs.
00:09:41There's a Luke's room.
00:09:41Well, actually, Candace, Luke is a creature of habit, so.
00:09:45I do apologize, Candace, but a trip to Landover would not be complete without a stay at the
00:09:50Apple Hill.
00:09:58May in Washington, please.
00:10:00Does this say Archibald?
00:10:04Anderson.
00:10:06Nope.
00:10:07Underwood.
00:10:08Says Underwood.
00:10:09Don't you find an answer?
00:10:10Mm-hmm.
00:10:11You know, we wouldn't go through this each day if we computerized.
00:10:14Yeah, but then we'd lose our charm.
00:10:17I thought one of the reasons you hired me was to bring Apple Hill's reservation system
00:10:21into the, you know, 20th century.
00:10:24I think you mean 21st century.
00:10:26No, I definitely mean 20th.
00:10:29Huh.
00:10:33Do you mind keeping an eye on things for a while?
00:10:36Yeah, of course.
00:10:36I will just finish the guest notes for tonight.
00:10:39You know, if I can read them.
00:10:41Okay.
00:10:43Oh, remember, there's a leak in room 11, so it's out of commission.
00:10:47Got it.
00:10:48Bye.
00:10:49Bye.
00:10:49Candace still helps out at the tavern every now and then, but these days she's just killing
00:11:05it in real estate.
00:11:07It's great, man.
00:11:08You guys are hitting your goals.
00:11:09Yeah.
00:11:10Well, we owe a lot of that to you.
00:11:13Oh, anything to me.
00:11:13Yeah, I invested because you guys are crazy talented.
00:11:16Yeah, well, both can be true.
00:11:18What happened to Rusty's?
00:11:19What?
00:11:20Yeah.
00:11:20Shut down after you retired a couple years back.
00:11:24Are you serious?
00:11:25Mm-hmm.
00:11:25Oh, man.
00:11:27I used to dominate space barge in here.
00:11:30Excuse me?
00:11:32I do believe I beat you my fair share of times.
00:11:35You can't be serious.
00:11:36Oh, I am dead serious.
00:11:37You know, they have the original game over at Tony's Pizza.
00:11:40Are you match?
00:11:42Please say now.
00:11:42Right now.
00:11:43Right here.
00:11:44Oh, wait.
00:11:45Wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:11:48Yeah, hi.
00:11:49All right.
00:11:52I'll, uh, I'll see you soon.
00:11:55That's convenient.
00:11:56Yeah, super convenient.
00:11:58It's gonna have to be a rain check.
00:12:00Get out of here.
00:12:12Yeah.
00:12:14Oh, come on.
00:12:19Excuse me.
00:12:28Do you know what happened to the high school that used to be here?
00:12:30They built a new one outside of town.
00:12:32Brand new building.
00:12:33So they just tore all this down?
00:12:37And built this beautiful park.
00:12:49Hey, Elise.
00:12:56Hey, Tony.
00:12:58My usual.
00:12:59Ooh, not bad of a day?
00:13:01Ah, I don't even want to talk about it.
00:13:04Well, you might have to wait a bit.
00:13:06He's been playing for 30 minutes now.
00:13:09But I do have the same game online if you're interested.
00:13:13It's not the same.
00:13:15I'll just wait.
00:13:16Sounds good.
00:13:16Good.
00:13:19Maybe I'll just see how long he's gonna be.
00:13:23Sounds good.
00:13:26Excuse me.
00:13:29Can I help you?
00:13:31Yes.
00:13:31Actually, there are other people waiting to play the game.
00:13:34Me.
00:13:34Uh, well, we could play two-player.
00:13:40Oh, no.
00:13:41I play alone.
00:13:42It's sort of my form of meditation.
00:13:45Well, I can already tell you seem like the type of person that needs to zen out.
00:13:51Says the guy wearing sunglasses indoors.
00:13:53What?
00:13:56No, that cannot be your score.
00:13:58It can, and it is.
00:14:02Not today.
00:14:03Excuse me.
00:14:03You've obviously been playing long enough.
00:14:05Excuse me.
00:14:05What are you doing?
00:14:06Who does that?
00:14:07I was so late, and I came over, and I asked you if I could play.
00:14:10Come on, come on.
00:14:10You know what?
00:14:11Excuse me.
00:14:12There.
00:14:13There.
00:14:13New top score.
00:14:18Wow.
00:14:24But that's my game.
00:14:29Well done.
00:14:30Thanks, sir.
00:14:32Did you want a slice to go?
00:14:33Bye, Tony.
00:14:35Bye.
00:14:36I take it that was Elise?
00:14:37That was Elise.
00:14:40And just like that, he took my top score.
00:14:43Well, luckily, it is just a game.
00:14:47But I, I get it.
00:14:49And this guy, he seems like trouble.
00:14:52Yeah.
00:14:53And he could have been a Trent clone.
00:14:55He's rude and arrogant, way out of line.
00:14:58Okay, do you want to discuss the arriving guests tonight, or?
00:15:01Good idea.
00:15:02Great.
00:15:03So I'm thinking, what if we looked at this information on a tablet,
00:15:07instead of sorting through these 20 guest files?
00:15:10Oh, but Nora, the tactile feel of paper, though.
00:15:18What's this?
00:15:20Uh, solo guest.
00:15:22Lucas Bellwether.
00:15:24Bellwether, as in Bellwether Holdings.
00:15:26The hotel group?
00:15:27Nora, look at your iPad.
00:15:31Look him up.
00:15:32Okay.
00:15:32Bellwether.
00:15:33Right here, right here.
00:15:34Uh, as Bellwether Holdings CFO, Lucas Bellwether has increased profits
00:15:38and helped to facilitate funding to add several regional chains to their portfolio.
00:15:44Mm-hmm.
00:15:45First, Huston Hotels comes sniffing around, and now Bellwether Holdings.
00:15:49No.
00:15:50No.
00:15:51He's not going to stay here.
00:15:53Okay.
00:15:53Hi, I'm checking in.
00:15:56Hi.
00:15:57You must be Mr. Bellwether.
00:15:59Welcome to Apple Hill.
00:16:02I see you again, former champion of space barge.
00:16:06Did you tell you that?
00:16:07Uh, just for the record, I did have a higher score, but there was a blackout at Tony's Pizza,
00:16:12and it deleted all the information from the game, so...
00:16:15It's convenient that that actually doesn't exist.
00:16:17It says here that you want down-alternative pillows and laundry service.
00:16:25If that's fine, or just a simple ironing would be great.
00:16:28I'm sorry, we can't provide any of that.
00:16:31You know what?
00:16:32That must be disappointing for you, so I can go ahead and call other hotels in the area and see if maybe...
00:16:36No, no, no, that'll be fine.
00:16:38I need to stay here.
00:16:39And we would love to have you.
00:16:44Also, you know, the Wi-Fi is down, and...
00:16:49Well, good thing I'm supposed to be on vacation.
00:16:51Now, how does a check-in work?
00:16:52Is it a key card, app?
00:16:54No, no, we use actual keys.
00:16:58Adorable.
00:16:59Like Bates Motel.
00:17:02Let's give Mr. Bellwether room 11.
00:17:04No, we can't either.
00:17:05Nora, let's give him room 11.
00:17:07That sounds great.
00:17:09And you know what?
00:17:09Grab him a welcome basket while you're there.
00:17:12Ah, too kind.
00:17:13Everyone gets one.
00:17:18Okay, you are.
00:17:19It's just up those stairs.
00:17:20We'll see it.
00:17:22Mm-hmm.
00:17:26I am so confused.
00:17:27Didn't you say that we could not rent out room 11?
00:17:30I did say that.
00:17:31If he insists on staying here, I'm gonna give him the worst week of his life.
00:17:36How is there no reception?
00:17:40None?
00:17:40None?
00:17:44Oh.
00:17:45Oh, my God.
00:18:15You will return in two weeks, but in the meantime, I'll be cancelling all meetings, and your deadlines will be extended until Luke's return.
00:18:36No, no, no, no, wait, wait, wait, you can't do that.
00:18:38Sorry, did someone have a question?
00:18:43Hello?
00:18:45Hello?
00:18:47Hello?
00:18:51Oh, my...
00:19:04Can I help you?
00:19:16My phone doesn't seem to be working.
00:19:18Oh, that one's on the fritz.
00:19:20Along with leaking pipes, busted door handles, and loose outlets, I would like to switch rooms, please.
00:19:29I'm sorry, that's the only one available.
00:19:31I'd like to speak with the owner, then.
00:19:35You have been speaking with the owner.
00:19:37Oh, so you are the one intentionally running this place in the ground.
00:19:41Mr. Bellweather, I told you about our limitations when you checked in.
00:19:48We're not for everybody, so if you would like to stay somewhere else, I will gladly refund your money.
00:19:54That is so incredibly sad, because this place has so much potential, if you would just give a little more effort.
00:20:01We just became a Landover historic destination, and last month, I received a hospitality award from the Innkeepers Guild.
00:20:10You just made that up.
00:20:12No, the...
00:20:14They're...
00:20:15Do you want to see my plaques?
00:20:16Did you buy them on the internet?
00:20:18You don't buy plaques on the...
00:20:21No, I didn't buy them on the internet!
00:20:24Donna Bellweather's office.
00:20:26Donna Bellweather's office.
00:20:28Leanne, this is Luke.
00:20:29Is my mom around?
00:20:30Luke, I'm under very strict orders.
00:20:32This isn't urgent.
00:20:33Can you please get her?
00:20:34I can pass the word along, but she is busy at the moment, Luke.
00:20:38Doing what?
00:20:39If you must know, she's surprising the finance team with an overnight stay at Canyon Post Spa.
00:20:44So instead of them meeting deadlines, she's taking them to get massages?
00:20:47Yeah, and you know what?
00:20:49They're pretty excited about it.
00:20:51Oh, are they Leanne massages instead of work?
00:20:56I think we're all set for tomorrow.
00:21:08You know, I think this is Ian's 67th apple harvest.
00:21:13That is a lot of apples.
00:21:15And a lot of memories.
00:21:17It's one of those days it makes me feel like my grandma and grandpa are still here.
00:21:20Well, they definitely are.
00:21:21And that is thanks to you, Elise.
00:21:25The question is what now?
00:21:27Well, we still have a decent amount of occupancy for the rest of October.
00:21:32Decent is not going to cut it if we're going to get to that 15% profit the bank needs to see.
00:21:37And, um, what happens if we don't hit that number?
00:21:46We have lights.
00:21:47Ta-da.
00:21:48For now.
00:21:49Chuck.
00:21:50Hi.
00:21:51I didn't know that you were here.
00:21:54Oh, just don't tell my boss.
00:21:56It's after hours.
00:21:57Oh, I can't thank you enough.
00:21:59Well, it's only temporary.
00:22:01For how long?
00:22:02I don't know.
00:22:03Um, can we get you dinner?
00:22:05I mean, for your hard work.
00:22:07For your service.
00:22:08No, I have a sandwich in the truck.
00:22:09Cool.
00:22:10Hey, what do I owe you?
00:22:11This one's on me.
00:22:12But, uh, I mean, at least you need an upgraded panel.
00:22:16The sooner the better.
00:22:17Okay.
00:22:18Yeah.
00:22:19Thank you, Chuck.
00:22:20Bye, Chuck.
00:22:21Did he say bye back?
00:22:25No.
00:22:26Oh.
00:22:27So, uh, Chuck, huh?
00:22:31What?
00:22:32What?
00:22:33What?
00:22:34No.
00:22:35Chuck?
00:22:36I don't know.
00:22:37No.
00:22:38You seem pretty excited given something to eat.
00:22:39Well, because I like to feed people.
00:22:41So, how was I walk down memory lane?
00:22:48So much has changed.
00:22:50Everything feels super small, too.
00:22:52Well, you have been living in New York.
00:22:54No, no, no.
00:22:55I mean, um, for instance, our high school disappeared.
00:22:57When did that happen?
00:22:58Yeah, that one, uh, that was tough.
00:22:59I've seen a lot of places come and go, but that one was hard.
00:23:02I wonder if our old hockey photos in the new school.
00:23:04I doubt it.
00:23:05Yeah.
00:23:06But, I do have a photo for you.
00:23:08Sit tight.
00:23:09Okay.
00:23:11That is a photo.
00:23:15Come on.
00:23:16Right?
00:23:18Are you serious?
00:23:19Yeah.
00:23:20Look at us.
00:23:21Look at those fangs.
00:23:22Intimidating vampires.
00:23:23Those guys are nuts.
00:23:24Okay, don't let seven-year-old me hear you say that.
00:23:27That's great.
00:23:28Yeah.
00:23:29You were a terror.
00:23:30I was.
00:23:31What happened to you?
00:23:32I don't know.
00:23:33Oh.
00:23:34Halloween at Apple Hill.
00:23:35Mm-hmm.
00:23:36So cute.
00:23:37Apple Hill, even that place has changed.
00:23:39I mean, I get there, my door knob falls off, the phones don't work, the sink's leaking,
00:23:43and the woman who's running it, Elise, she shouldn't even be in hospitality.
00:23:47Like, what is happening?
00:23:48Well, Elise is pretty much the only reason that Apple Hill is still going.
00:23:52Yeah, she took over after her grandparents passed.
00:23:55Mm-hmm.
00:23:56Is this the same Elise from high school?
00:23:59Elise Jacobs?
00:24:00Yeah.
00:24:01Same one.
00:24:02It's even worse.
00:24:03I remember her grandparents.
00:24:04They would be furious if they knew the condition it was in.
00:24:07I'm sorry.
00:24:08I don't mean to.
00:24:09I get it.
00:24:10I get it.
00:24:11Apple Hill was a special place for you and your mom.
00:24:13And just think about it.
00:24:14If it weren't for Apple Hill inspiring your mom to stay here, then we wouldn't be friends.
00:24:18It's true.
00:24:19And I'm awesome.
00:24:20Hey, we're awesome.
00:24:21We're awesome.
00:24:22You know, I'm actually really surprised at how much has changed.
00:24:25Everybody raves about how thoughtful Elise is, and she's always been so great with us.
00:24:30Yeah, it's true.
00:24:33Why not me?
00:24:38How are we doing for ticket sales for tomorrow?
00:24:41Uh, you mean for the orchard harvest?
00:24:45No.
00:24:46For the other event we're selling tickets to tomorrow.
00:24:49Yes, for the harvest.
00:24:50Okay, one moment.
00:24:53What?
00:24:55Nora, what's the number?
00:24:5718.
00:24:58It's never been that low.
00:24:5918.
00:25:02Shoot.
00:25:04Now it's at 15 because we just got a cancellation.
00:25:0915?
00:25:10What?
00:25:12I am sure that we will have a lot of walk-ins and people driving by.
00:25:20I, um, I asked earlier as an employee.
00:25:25But now I need to ask as a friend.
00:25:28How long can we go without a loan?
00:25:32As a friend.
00:25:34I'm not sure we'll make it past October.
00:25:38Especially if the event tomorrow was a flop.
00:25:40It's late.
00:25:41We should call it a night.
00:25:42Okay.
00:25:43Good night.
00:25:44Good night.
00:25:45Night.
00:25:46Good night.

00:28:40Oh, my God.
00:29:10Mother?
00:29:13I have changed my username and password,
00:29:15and if you try to log into that portal again,
00:29:17don't think I won't press charges.
00:29:19Oh, you wouldn't.
00:29:21No, I wouldn't.
00:29:22But I want to.
00:29:24I was so hoping that you would be staying someplace without Internet.
00:29:28I practically am.
00:29:29I'm at Apple Hill.
00:29:30Oh, we had good times there, kiddo.
00:29:34Yeah.
00:29:35Yeah, we did, but Landover has changed so much.
00:29:37I mean, so many places are gone and everywhere else,
00:29:41I just don't even recognize.
00:29:42A word of advice from your mom?
00:29:47Go ahead.
00:29:48Landover will have changed even more on your next visit
00:29:51and the visit after that,
00:29:52which is why you owe it to yourself to really enjoy this moment,
00:29:56because it won't be coming back.
00:30:01Oh, I have a meeting.
00:30:03Bye for now, honey.
00:30:07Have fun.
00:30:14Bye.
00:30:15Enjoy.
00:30:15Bye.
00:30:17Oh, we're here.
00:30:19The Dela Cruz family, right?
00:30:21Want to pick some apples?
00:30:22Welcome, welcome.
00:30:24You want to pick some too, right?
00:30:25Have so much fun.
00:30:27Okay, bye.
00:30:28Bye.
00:30:29No, no, it's still early.
00:30:31Am I here on the right day?
00:30:33I don't, um, I don't think I see a Bellwether pre-registered here.
00:30:38No, that's Luke.
00:30:41Yes, there it is.
00:30:42Thank you, both.
00:30:43That's, there it is.
00:30:45You know what would be great?
00:30:46It's like a, like a selfie wall.
00:30:49Ooh.
00:30:50Interesting.
00:30:51But this event is so that people can relax and connect,
00:30:54not gain followers.
00:30:56Definitely use some followers, you know.
00:30:58I mean, people are going to be posting on their socials anyway,
00:31:02so, you know, what better way to ensure Apple Hill's brand is present?
00:31:06If these guests wanted to be manipulated by a greedy corporation,
00:31:09they would be at one of your properties.
00:31:11There it is, right there.
00:31:13The reason I'm getting the special, or I should say,
00:31:15not so special treatment is you have a problem with my family's company.
00:31:19Oh.
00:31:20I am sorry to burst your precious bubble,
00:31:25but I don't think about you or Bellwether Holdings at all.
00:31:28Do you want to pick some apples?
00:31:29Oh, actually, I brought something special just in case you came.
00:31:34Seeing as you like to spruce things up.
00:31:37Broken basket and apple picker.
00:31:41That's how we're treating paying customers, but...
00:31:44Um, have a good day.
00:31:49Goodbye.
00:31:50Hey, buddy.
00:32:04Sorry I got caught up with the inventory.
00:32:05Glad you made it.
00:32:07Uh, can you help, or are you still scared of heights?
00:32:10I can manage.
00:32:11Go for it.
00:32:11Goodbye.
00:32:14Hot Apple Donuts!
00:32:16Wow.
00:32:17I don't think they can hear you over in the other county.
00:32:19Should I do it again?
00:32:20No.
00:32:22Hi!
00:32:23Do you want some?
00:32:24There we go.
00:32:25We have some more friends over here.
00:32:26Oh, yes.
00:32:27Here you go.
00:32:28Hi, guys.
00:32:29It's like old Don's.
00:32:30Oh.
00:32:31Is he a friend?
00:32:32Is my Jared?
00:32:33I like it.
00:32:33Not bad.
00:32:34How about a little of this?
00:32:37It sure looks like good clothes.
00:32:39Oh.
00:32:40You know what?
00:32:42I think I went a little far.
00:32:43I mean, I completely get where you're coming from.
00:32:48Especially if he's scouting to acquire Apple Hill.
00:32:51Don't listen.
00:32:51But I don't know, Elise.
00:32:53He doesn't seem like that bad a guy.
00:32:55I mean, I mean, he even might be a little fun.
00:33:01See?
00:33:02But not that fun.
00:33:04Big smiles.
00:33:04Big, big, big.
00:33:05Smilier.
00:33:06Is that a word?
00:33:07I'm just kidding.
00:33:07All right.
00:33:07You guys look great.
00:33:08Three, two, one.
00:33:10Big smiles.
00:33:10All right.
00:33:12If you post it, please tag in at Apple Hill.
00:33:15Yeah.
00:33:15All right.
00:33:16Thanks, guys.
00:33:17Isn't that crazy?
00:33:18Come on.
00:33:18What do you think?
00:33:19It's amazing, right?
00:33:21I mean, who needs a vacation to Maui or Rome when you have land over?
00:33:25So about that vacation, it's not exactly voluntary.
00:33:29What happened?
00:33:30She suspended me.
00:33:31Can you believe that?
00:33:32Yes.
00:33:33I...
00:33:33She calls it a mandatory vacation.
00:33:35Right.
00:33:36Still got to feel pretty harsh, though.
00:33:38She says my management style is not working, and sadly, I'm starting to realize she might
00:33:43be right.
00:33:44Your mom usually is, though.
00:33:45I don't know.
00:33:47All right.
00:33:48So what?
00:33:48You're suspended.
00:33:50Now what?
00:33:51I guess take her advice.
00:33:53Disconnect from work.
00:33:55How's that going for you?
00:33:57Well, I don't have my phone on me.
00:33:59I'm not missing it too much.
00:34:02Too much?
00:34:02Too much.
00:34:03Well, come on.
00:34:04I'll put you to work.
00:34:05Your turn on the ladder.
00:34:06I'm on vacation.
00:34:08I'm glad you did.
00:34:16Let's sit later, bud.
00:34:16You can't see anything.
00:34:21Jared.
00:34:23Elise.
00:34:23Hey.
00:34:24Oh, I'm sorry.
00:34:25I couldn't say hi earlier.
00:34:26No, no, no, no.
00:34:27You're busy with all this.
00:34:28It looks fantastic.
00:34:29Oh, thank you.
00:34:29It's too bad Candace couldn't make it.
00:34:31Yeah, she had that open house.
00:34:33Oh.
00:34:34Okay.
00:34:34Good.
00:34:35Hey, I wanted to ask you something.
00:34:37Yeah, shoot.
00:34:40How do you know Lucas Bellwether?
00:34:43Luke?
00:34:44Yeah.
00:34:45We've been friends since we were kids.
00:34:48Wait.
00:34:49That's...
00:34:50That's Luke from school?
00:34:52Yeah.
00:34:54I was a couple years behind you guys.
00:34:56I don't...
00:34:57I remember him, but the adult version of him is so different.
00:35:02I mean, he's a little taller, but still has that heart of gold.
00:35:07Okay.
00:35:08If it wasn't for Luke, there would be no Landover Tavern.
00:35:12Speaking of which...
00:35:13I gotta take this, but this has been great.
00:35:15It looks fantastic.
00:35:18Lando Tavern.
00:35:27Hi.
00:35:29Hi.
00:35:31I...
00:35:32Is that for me?
00:35:34Yeah.
00:35:34No.
00:35:35No.
00:35:35Broken window frame.
00:35:37Change air filter.
00:35:38Fixed image floor tiles.
00:35:39Change smoke detectors.
00:35:41You know, wow, this is a pretty heavy to-do list.
00:35:45You know what you forgot?
00:35:46The broken apple picker.
00:35:48So we'll just go ahead and add that one, too.
00:35:50I was going to give you that list, but then I reconsidered.
00:35:53I still can't figure out the hang-up you have with my family's company.
00:35:57It's like you think we're...
00:35:58You...
00:36:02You think we want to buy Apple Hill, don't you?
00:36:05I...
00:36:05I originally thought that, but then I found out who you were.
00:36:10Who am I?
00:36:12You're...
00:36:12Luke.
00:36:13Jared's best friend from high school.
00:36:15I didn't know that until I talked to him.
00:36:16Yeah.
00:36:17Luke.
00:36:18Luke Bellwether was him then.
00:36:20Luke Bellwether now.
00:36:21What does that have to do with anything?
00:36:23Growing up, I just knew you as Luke.
00:36:25We weren't in the same grade.
00:36:26We didn't hang out.
00:36:27And you always seem like this simple, carefree guy.
00:36:33I'm still that guy.
00:36:37I didn't know that.
00:36:38I just saw a corporation, and I...
00:36:40I feel like I missed the chance to get to know you that way.
00:36:44Quick story.
00:36:46After my parents divorced, my mom took me here, to Apple Hill, at the time of my life, apparently.
00:36:52Now, I was four years old.
00:36:53But I do remember that that was the weekend she decided to move to Landover.
00:36:58For good.
00:37:00To give me a childhood and an upbringing I could never have in New York.
00:37:04So you came here for that.
00:37:06For those memories.
00:37:09I'm sorry.
00:37:13Just stay.
00:37:14And I will make all of this up to you.
00:37:16I love it here.
00:37:19I really love it here.
00:37:22But seeing this end that I love, and the state that it's in,
00:37:26I am not going to let you or anyone else tarnish the memory of how great it once was.
00:37:31So you can keep this.
00:37:32Oh, it smells amazing in here.
00:38:02Unfortunately, the oven is on its last legs.
00:38:05You know that some of these pies went through three rounds of baking before they were ready.
00:38:09Oh.
00:38:10And they have the bruises to show for it.
00:38:13Well, could that pie maybe be good enough for a certain electrician?
00:38:20So, it is five days until my follow-up meeting with the bank, and things keep getting worse.
00:38:25I've literally tried everything my grandma and grandpa would do in this situation.
00:38:29Nothing's clicking.
00:38:30But you know what?
00:38:32Something will.
00:38:33Because it always does.
00:38:36Maybe it's my fault, you know?
00:38:38Look how I jumped to conclusions with Luke.
00:38:41Maybe a little bit.
00:38:43But I heard that he's staying with his friends who own Landover Tavern.
00:38:48Candace and Jared?
00:38:49Mm-hmm.
00:38:50Fun fact about Lucas Bellwether.
00:38:52Loves apple pies.
00:38:54He does.
00:38:55Oh, I have no idea.
00:38:56But there's only one way to find out.
00:39:06Hey, look who's up.
00:39:07Hey.
00:39:09How'd you sleep?
00:39:10Good.
00:39:11That bed is comfortable.
00:39:12Better than your room over at Apple Hill.
00:39:14Yeah.
00:39:15Added bonus, I don't have to deal with Elise Jacobs.
00:39:17Right.
00:39:18Tea?
00:39:19No.
00:39:20Something stronger, please.
00:39:21Oh, okay.
00:39:24I'm gonna have to leave the coffee to you, though.
00:39:26You know how to use one of these things, right?
00:39:29I gotta hit up the tavern.
00:39:31But I'll see you later.
00:39:33Deal.
00:39:33Oh, my God.
00:40:00Oh, my God.
00:40:03Can I help you?
00:40:26Consider this a freshly baked mea culpa.
00:40:40Mara!
00:40:42Hi!
00:40:43Um, thank you for all your help with the electrical at the inn.
00:40:47This is from Elise.
00:40:49Oh.
00:40:50Okay.
00:40:51I should never have had preconceived notions about you.
00:41:10I didn't know what the inn meant to you and your mom, and I'm...
00:41:15I am truly sorry.
00:41:16Do all of your apologies smell this good?
00:41:25As long as I'm not the one baking them.
00:41:28Hmm.
00:41:29Here.
00:41:30Come in.
00:41:31Uh...
00:41:32Can I get you a coffee?
00:41:34That'd be great.
00:41:36Lovely.
00:41:37Change of pace.
00:41:38A coffee truce, if you will.
00:41:39Uh...
00:41:40Can I get you a coffee?
00:41:41That'd be great.
00:41:43Lovely change of pace.
00:41:44A coffee truce, if you will.
00:41:46Truce.
00:41:47I was not the one at war.
00:41:52Fair.
00:41:53But I did want to ask, had I been interested in the inn, you could have just said no.
00:41:58I was...
00:42:00I was a little afraid I'd say yes.
00:42:04Why's that?
00:42:06Because I...
00:42:07Because I...
00:42:08I dove wholeheartedly into buying Apple Hill.
00:42:11You know, I was determined to preserve that part of my grandparents' lives.
00:42:14But it is taking everything I have to keep it afloat.
00:42:19And what's it giving to you?
00:42:26It's keeping me up at night.
00:42:29I'm worried that I'm not gonna get the funding I need and that I'm...
00:42:33I'm gonna have to let it go.
00:42:36How long do you think you can go without the loan?
00:42:41Maybe through the first week of November.
00:42:43Maybe.
00:42:44I mean...
00:42:45Well...
00:42:51Good news is, I think I can help.
00:42:56If you let me.
00:42:58Uh, how are your books?
00:43:01Any upcoming events?
00:43:03Nope.
00:43:04The Orchard Harvest was the last event of the season.
00:43:06What about Halloween party?
00:43:08Oh, that became too tough for my grandparents to do, so they stopped doing it 15 years ago.
00:43:13Exactly.
00:43:14Imagine the response if you brought it back.
00:43:17This Halloween?
00:43:18This Halloween.
00:43:19The one that's in a matter of days.
00:43:20Matter of days.
00:43:21Plenty of time.
00:43:22Perfect.
00:43:23I really appreciate your enthusiasm.
00:43:24I do.
00:43:25But I'm not sure that one night is enough to save my inn.
00:43:30What if we sold tickets?
00:43:34That would work.
00:43:36And if you agreed to that, it would also let me consider accepting your apology.
00:43:48I also have a condition.
00:43:50Okay.
00:43:52I will consider doing the Halloween party.
00:43:55If you give me a second chance and you finish your stay at Apple Hill.
00:43:59Elise Jacobs, you have a deal.
00:44:03I have a deal.
00:44:15Um.
00:44:19Discard.
00:44:20Keep.
00:44:21Oh, I liked him.
00:44:22It's okay.
00:44:27Alright.
00:44:28You know what?
00:44:29We need to rethink this entire party.
00:44:38Do you realize how much Landover's changed?
00:44:43I do.
00:44:44But I've been here so for me it's been more gradual.
00:44:47There was this photo I really loved.
00:44:49Jared and I.
00:44:50It was right after the hockey state championship.
00:44:52It hung in a high school for years.
00:44:54It was like a permanent part of the community.
00:44:58And now it's gone.
00:45:01Neither of you have a copy?
00:45:03No.
00:45:04Hmm.
00:45:06In the arcade?
00:45:07Oh, okay. I cried when they closed that down.
00:45:09Elise, that's my point.
00:45:11That's why we need to have this party.
00:45:13Something needs to be brought back to life.
00:45:16I know. And I want to.
00:45:18But what am I supposed to do?
00:45:20Go door to door to every craft store and ask them if I can use their projects as decorations for our party?
00:45:31They seem pretty into their work.
00:45:33Maybe we should just post a flyer.
00:45:35Why wait? We're here now.
00:45:37Excuse me, guys. This won't take long.
00:45:39I'm Luke. This is Elise. She owns the Inn at Apple Hill.
00:45:43And we're throwing a Halloween party.
00:45:45And we would love to know if you wanted to help in the decorations department.
00:45:49There's a little added bonus.
00:45:50If you do contribute, there'll be free admission to the party.
00:45:53So, what do you guys say? Show of hands?
00:45:58Everyone?
00:46:00Go ahead.
00:46:04Every single hand went up.
00:46:05I figure it goes to show you how much they want you to have this Halloween party.
00:46:11It was also about displaying their artwork.
00:46:14See right there?
00:46:16That's what you need to improve your outlook.
00:46:17A little Braemers ice cream.
00:46:19Pumpkin scoop cures everything.
00:46:21I don't need to improve my outlook.
00:46:23And they don't have pumpkin ice cream.
00:46:26Yes, they do.
00:46:28Alright, you'll see.
00:46:30They better have it. They better have it.
00:46:32Candy corn, really?
00:46:33Everyone loves it.
00:46:36No, everyone does not love it.
00:46:38Get rid of pumpkin for candy corn?
00:46:41I have never seen someone get so worked up over a dessert that tastes like a gourd.
00:46:48You can't say it like that.
00:46:50No, it's pumpkin and cinnamon and allspice.
00:46:53It's perfect for fall, even if it's snowy.
00:46:56Your excitement about the little things in this town.
00:46:59You just light up.
00:47:01Are you like that about the city?
00:47:04Pizza, yes.
00:47:06Other than that, no.
00:47:08I went to New York for the sole purpose of getting my MBA in hopes of one day running bellwether.
00:47:14One more try.
00:47:17Some adventurous.
00:47:21You know what?
00:47:23No.
00:47:25See, even the trashcan didn't want it.
00:47:28What'd you get?
00:47:29What'd you get?
00:47:30You saw a whole array of ice creams you could have chosen from.
00:47:34It looks delicious.
00:47:35It's so good.
00:47:36Give me a bite.
00:47:38May I have a bite?
00:47:40Better.
00:47:42You fell from that.
00:47:56Were you all done with breakfast?
00:47:58Yeah.
00:47:59Officially it is, but I can get you something.
00:48:01No, no, no. I'm good.
00:48:03I just wanted to see if you were free.
00:48:04I had something planned.
00:48:06The adventure awaits.
00:48:08Ooh.
00:48:10Okay.
00:48:11Take me just a minute.
00:48:12Great.
00:48:16Where are you taking me?
00:48:17That, m'lady, is a surprise.
00:48:18Oh.
00:48:19Well, I can't wait to find out.
00:48:20Well, I'll give you a hint.
00:48:21I'm taking you to Pumpkin Patch to buy some pumpkins.
00:48:27These are absolutely amazing.
00:48:30Flawless.
00:48:31Oh, boy.
00:48:32Probably out of our price range.
00:48:34I don't know.
00:48:36But I do know these are some odd-looking pumpkins.
00:48:38I wonder who farms them.
00:48:41You want odd-looking?
00:48:44You should see my friend Luke Bellwether.
00:48:46What's up, buddy?
00:48:48How long has it been?
00:48:49Uh-uh.
00:48:50About that. It's, uh...
00:48:51Ten years.
00:48:52It's been ten years.
00:48:54Busy, an excuse?
00:48:56I'm a pediatrician who also farms pumpkins.
00:48:58Fair enough.
00:48:59Oh, Ron, Elise, Elise, Ron.
00:49:01Nice to meet you.
00:49:02These are exquisite.
00:49:03Elise owns Inn at Apple Hill.
00:49:06Hannah and Charlie's place.
00:49:07Yeah.
00:49:08I'm the granddaughter.
00:49:09I took it over.
00:49:10How'd you get tangled up with this guy?
00:49:11Oh, yeah, right?
00:49:14Uh, we were thinking about bringing back the Halloween party at the Inn.
00:49:17And what's a Halloween party without some pumpkins?
00:49:19So, uh, a little bit of a budget, but...
00:49:23I will absolutely hook you up.
00:49:24I'm guessing you also need hay bales.
00:49:27Whatever you suggest.
00:49:28Alright.
00:49:29Yeah, that'd be great. Thank you.
00:49:31I'll be right back.
00:49:33So, you haven't talked to him in ten years.
00:49:35Can you show up and ask him a favor, and he agrees?
00:49:40Yeah.
00:49:42Let's go find some pumpkins.
00:49:46You're all set, Miss Randall.
00:49:48Yeah, we look forward to your stay, too.
00:49:50Okay.
00:49:51Bye.
00:49:54Hey, Nora.
00:50:01Hi.
00:50:02Um...
00:50:03How can I help you?
00:50:04I was, uh, just in the area.
00:50:05I thought I'd stop by and thank Elise for that apple pie.
00:50:09Well, she is out at the moment, but I will...
00:50:12I will pass that word along.
00:50:13Oh.
00:50:16What you doing?
00:50:19Uh, I am just working on a little surprise.
00:50:24For Elise.
00:50:25Need any help?
00:50:30I'm, uh...
00:50:32I'm just kinda...
00:50:34in the zone.
00:50:36Cool.
00:50:37Gotcha.
00:50:39Oh!
00:50:40Hi!
00:50:41Oh, hi!
00:50:42Hi, Chuck!
00:50:43That is...
00:50:44That's a lot of decorations.
00:50:47Not that I don't love them.
00:50:48They're great.
00:50:50But can we afford them?
00:50:52These are all donated by local artists.
00:50:55Thanks to Luke.
00:50:56Yeah.
00:50:57Hey, Luke.
00:50:58Chuck.
00:50:59The electrician.
00:51:00Oh, nice to meet you.
00:51:01I think this is...
00:51:02It's gonna look good.
00:51:03Yeah.
00:51:04Oh, and Ron's donated a bunch of lights, so...
00:51:06That's gonna be a problem.
00:51:08No problem.
00:51:09No charge.
00:51:10It's just stuff you had extra from storage.
00:51:12The INS electrical panel is the original knob and tube system, and it can barely keep the lights on as it is.
00:51:19Okay, so how do we light the outside?
00:51:21Well, I guess we're just gonna have to rely on the original lighting news every day.
00:51:24I don't think you can have the Halloween party you want to have without lighting up the outside.
00:51:30I mean, that's... that's kind of essential.
00:51:32What's essential is that the panel holds up so I can stay in business.
00:51:36Any extra lighting?
00:51:39Okay, uh...
00:51:40How much's the new panel cost?
00:51:41It's $12,103.
00:51:43And...
00:51:4442 cents.
00:51:46That is specific.
00:51:48But hey, we have options.
00:51:50No.
00:51:51Don't even say it.
00:51:52I mean, if it needs the repairs, it needs the repairs, so...
00:51:53No, I'm not taking a handout from you, Luke.
00:51:56It's not a handout, I promise it.
00:51:59End of discussion.
00:52:03I'm gonna...
00:52:23What if we called it a, uh, I don't know, a temporary loan?
00:52:32Then I'm not sure I can pay back.
00:52:35Listen, if we don't do this party right, you're not gonna hit your numbers.
00:52:40Please let me help.
00:52:41I...
00:52:42I truly appreciate everything you've done.
00:52:46But when I agreed to go in on this, it was to work together.
00:52:50Not to be your latest project.
00:52:53That's not what I'm doing.
00:52:56Is it?
00:52:57No.
00:52:58Maybe a little.
00:53:00Maybe a little.
00:53:04If I rely on you for this, how am I gonna get through the next problem?
00:53:07Or the one after that?
00:53:10By letting people do for you exactly what I know you would do for them in a heartbeat.
00:53:16You've seen firsthand how quickly people come together if you just let them in.
00:53:21I can't take money from you.
00:53:24I think we need to quit while we're ahead.
00:53:30Um...
00:53:33That might be problematic.
00:53:35I've already made an announcement.
00:53:38When? Where?
00:53:41This morning.
00:53:42Um...
00:53:43Social media.
00:53:44And the, uh...
00:53:45Landover Tribune.
00:53:49You...
00:53:50You need to cancel it.
00:53:52Well, see, I can't.
00:53:53Cause, uh...
00:53:54We've already sold 110 tickets.
00:54:02No, no.
00:54:03Wait a minute.
00:54:04No, no, no.
00:54:05No, no.
00:54:06This deal has been as good as done for weeks.
00:54:07And you're telling me that Starfield's making additional demands now in the 11th hour?
00:54:12No.
00:54:13No, I don't want legal to draft any modifications.
00:54:16I...
00:54:17At least, not yet.
00:54:18How much time do we have?
00:54:20Three days.
00:54:22Well, that's not enough.
00:54:23Get me an extension!
00:54:26Ha!
00:54:31And this is why Chuck is officially off my list.
00:54:34It's odd, cause I don't remember him mentioning a girlfriend.
00:54:37Yeah, yeah, there she was.
00:54:39But this is looking festive.
00:54:42Um, do we have any updates from Luke on ticket sales?
00:54:45Yeah, we're at over 200.
00:54:47That's amazing.
00:54:48And there's also no backing out now.
00:54:51We can't always refund tickets.
00:54:53And let down our entire community?
00:54:55We have an oven that can barely make breakfast for 20 to 30 guests.
00:54:58Oh, yes.
00:54:59Let alone feed over 200 people.
00:55:01Well, who said you had to do food?
00:55:04We're already at a disadvantage with the lighting.
00:55:06If we make too many shortcuts, people will notice.
00:55:09I almost forgot to tell you.
00:55:10Um, a woman from the community center named Julie called.
00:55:15She says, it's there.
00:55:19What does that mean?
00:55:23Looks so good, doesn't it?
00:55:30So, I know it might not look like much right now,
00:55:32but the plan is to convert this into a private events room.
00:55:35I mean, once I can get this all cleared up.
00:55:37And once that's done, you think about a second location?
00:55:40That might be a Luke Bellwether thing to do,
00:55:42but me, I'm having a hard enough time keeping up as it is.
00:55:46How are the, uh, plans for Halloween coming along?
00:55:48Um, the inn's electricity won't support all the decorations
00:55:51that I think we should be doing.
00:55:52So, but we'll, we'll manage.
00:55:54Yeah, that used to happen to us every Christmas.
00:55:56Anytime I would want to add a new string of lights,
00:55:58I'd be worried about the power going out anytime I made a cup of coffee.
00:56:01So, would you, did you upgrade?
00:56:02No, I, uh, got a generator.
00:56:05We're up to three now.
00:56:07Generators.
00:56:08Hi, you've reached Luke Bellwether, CFO of Bellwether Holdings.
00:56:09I'm unavailable at the moment, but if you please leave your name, number...

01:11:55Yeah.
01:11:55...some.
01:11:57It's growing on me.
01:11:59Keep forgetting it's back there.
01:12:20I scream from the mountain top.
01:12:24I go back to our street.
01:12:27Where we got our name in the holly tree.
01:12:31You feel pain.
01:12:33But now I need you.
01:12:35All right, all right, all right.
01:12:38Boom!
01:12:45Hey.
01:12:47Well?
01:12:49What do you think?
01:12:50Honestly?
01:12:51Yeah.
01:12:52The best party I've been to in years.
01:12:54You think so?
01:12:55I do.
01:12:57But maybe I'm not the one you should be asking.
01:13:07Is this how you enjoy your own party?
01:13:11Usually, yes.
01:13:12I'm just trying to make sure everything stays stopped.
01:13:16Well, do me a favor.
01:13:18I just want you to stop.
01:13:20Take a look around.
01:13:24Because you did all this.
01:13:25I couldn't have done it without everyone else.
01:13:28Well, I know, I know.
01:13:29But no one goes it along and achieves something great.
01:13:32And you and this inn are at the heart of it.
01:13:36Take your moment.
01:13:36Take your moment.
01:13:37Take my moment.
01:13:37But no one went through it again.
01:13:53Yeah.
01:13:54Oh, we did that together.
01:13:58Well done.
01:13:59Well done.
01:14:02Let's go to a little celebration.
01:14:06Because it's not a selfie wall until...
01:14:09We take a selfie.
01:14:18I'm just going to do one.
01:14:19Okay, yeah, I think that's going to be better.
01:14:21Finger arms. There we go.
01:14:22Okay, party's over.
01:14:25Do you guys need any help?
01:14:26No. Great. Okay.
01:14:28Hi! So, I kind of think tonight is going to be the talk of the town.
01:14:31Oh.
01:14:32How's it going?
01:14:34Well, I see ticket sales, beverages.
01:14:37I don't see the final number I was looking for.
01:14:39You need to open another tab to get into the expenses.
01:14:42So, this is the moment of truth.
01:14:44Okay. Okay.
01:14:45Should we close our eyes?
01:14:49Did we do it?
01:14:52Elyse?
01:14:54Elyse?
01:14:54Um, everyone seemed to have a really great time.
01:15:19Oh, Ben.
01:15:20And, uh, we're already talking about next year.
01:15:24There won't be a next year.
01:15:30We didn't hit the number we needed.
01:15:33I had an entire community behind me, including you, and still we...
01:15:38You did everything you could.
01:15:42This is not your fault.
01:15:48I mean, I should feel better that attempting to do the impossible was actually impossible, right?
01:15:56But I don't.
01:15:57Dad.
01:16:00This is not how I wanted to leave.
01:16:02You know that.
01:16:05I do.
01:16:08It's not how I wanted you to leave, either.
01:16:15New York's not far away.
01:16:16Just far enough.
01:16:19Oh, my God.
01:16:49I was so inspired, I came straight back from Landover yesterday to prep.
01:17:11Well, when are we meeting with Starfield?
01:17:15Well, um, the deal already went through.
01:17:19What? When?
01:17:22Last night.
01:17:23I told them the deal we agreed upon was the deal we were sticking with.
01:17:28And they signed.
01:17:33That's amazing. Congratulations.
01:17:35Wow.
01:17:36And thanks for reminding me to trust my instincts.
01:17:41This isn't easy for me to say, but, um, I don't know if it's for forever.
01:17:50Mm-hmm.
01:17:50But for right now, I got the feeling you belong in Landover.
01:17:58You've put so much work into me.
01:18:00I just don't ever want to disappoint you.
01:18:05Oh.
01:18:07No.
01:18:09You could never disappoint me, son.
01:18:12Lucas, I am so proud of you.
01:18:19Actually, I think the only thing that could ever disappoint me is if somehow I prevented you from going after what you want in life.
01:18:27I love you, kid.
01:18:32I love you, too.
01:18:33Elise, I'm sorry I'm late.
01:19:03That's fine. I won't take long. You gave me the courtesy of a meeting, so I wanted to show up in person and let you know that I was aiming for 15%.
01:19:10Thank you for coming.
01:19:10Even with everyone's help, I only landed at 13.7.
01:19:13Elise, you did something so much better than just hit a number.
01:19:18Here, let me show you. Look.
01:19:22That is my son. That's his wife and their two daughters.
01:19:25Look at him. They called me after 10 just to tell me the amazing time that they had last night.
01:19:34You have created more excitement in one night for this town than any business in years.
01:19:43I don't understand. What are you saying?
01:19:46I'm saying that you proved me wrong.
01:19:50You showed that you have what it takes to keep a place like Apple Hill alive long term.
01:19:57I'm telling you that we're giving you the loan.
01:20:01Congratulations.
01:20:01Hey, come on in. Grab a spot. Anywhere you'd like. I'll be right with you.
01:20:16Man, I've been thinking.
01:20:17Hey, Luke. I thought you went home.
01:20:19And you know what happens when I start thinking.
01:20:21Oh, no.
01:20:22I'll just get right to the point.
01:20:24Okay.
01:20:24Let's go in to visit together.
01:20:28I mean, I would love to, but hotels aren't exactly in my wheelhouse.
01:20:33Not the hotels. I want to expand the tavern.
01:20:37Are you being serious?
01:20:38Absolutely.
01:20:40You know, the other day when you said that it might be difficult for you to do it by yourself,
01:20:45I was thinking, how much fun would that be to do together?
01:20:49It'd be a lot of fun.
01:20:50Yeah?
01:20:51Yeah.
01:20:52You don't need time to think about it all.
01:20:54Hey, Candace. Amazing news.
01:20:56All it takes is just one moment to change everything.
01:21:00To see that your dreams are still within reach.
01:21:04Well, this is becoming a habit.
01:21:07Habits take around 28 days to form.
01:21:10I think I've known you for around...
01:21:12Let's see.
01:21:14We are the two. I've known you for 12 days.
01:21:17What are you doing here?
01:21:19Well, it looks like I'm on another permanent vacation to Landover.
01:21:24What about father?
01:21:26I think I'm still going to consult with them from time to time.
01:21:30The main focus is going to be to work with Jared on expanding the tavern.
01:21:33But I have to say, um, it's not the only reason I'm here.
01:21:40You are the reason.
01:21:43Are you going for this challenge?
01:21:44Do you mean being with you?
01:21:47I have never been more up for anything in my life.
01:21:54All it takes is to let down your guard, see life in a different light,
01:22:00and open your heart to the one person you've been searching for all along.
01:22:05Hey, do you like surprises?
01:22:20I want to show you something.
01:22:21Okay.
01:22:25To the right.
01:22:26Space barge.
01:22:35How did you...
01:22:36I made Tony an offer he could not refuse.
01:22:40Luke.
01:22:41Mm-hmm.
01:22:41You love space barge, right?
01:22:43I do.
01:22:44Yeah.
01:22:45You got quarters?
01:22:46Two players?
01:22:48Let's go.
01:22:48Yeah.
01:22:49Lucky we're on the same team.
01:22:54Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba.
01:22:56Ha-ha-ha-ha.
01:23:00Ready?
01:23:02Yeah.
01:23:04Well, that should have been the high score.
01:23:07What is...
01:23:08C-Heart-N?
01:23:11What is that?
01:23:12Yeah, Chuck and I, we weren't really sure how to tell you,
01:23:16but we're kind of the new champs.
01:23:20Not without a fight, you're not.
01:23:23Got more quarters?
01:23:24Yes, I do.
01:23:26And a kiss for good luck.
