00:00:13Grandma 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.
00:00:32They worked day and night, creating magical moments, not only for their guests, but for
00:00:40each other.
00:00:41Their son, my father, grew up at Apple Hill.
00:00:45And so after I was born, the Inn remained a constant presence in our lives.
00:00:51Apple Hill was a place where I could be anyone, do anything.
00:00:58All 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.
00:01:24And it wasn't too long after securing the purchase of Apple Hill that I found myself signing
00:01:29a 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.
00:01:37Ms. Jacobs will take full ownership of Inn at Apple Hill.
00:01:45There's one liability I'm going to be 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 it
00:02:06back to life.
00:02:07And I was up for the challenge.
00:02:24Hi, I've been handing out umbrellas because it's raining, so I just wanted to...
00:02:30Let me move you to another table.
00:02:32I'm sure we can just...
00:02:34There 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, and I'm sure we could...
00:02:49Oh, Steve.
00:02:50Please.
00:02:51But there were some wins, too.
00:02:54On 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.
00:03:21These electrical changes will allow us to open three additional rooms.
00:03:27So 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.
00:03:39And you think this will be as good as the day that Charlie and Hannah first opened their
00:03:43doors?
00:03:43That's the plan.
00:03:45But, you know, hard times came to Charlie and Hannah as well.
00:03:51They had to defer a lot of maintenance just to get by.
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.
00:04:32I would become an employee at my own business.
00:04:39Elise, I can't approve a loan.
00:04:41Not without a 15% gross profit.
00:04:47Then I will get there.
00:04:51Look, 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.
00:05:13Yeah, no, I know I said 12, but you know what I always say?
00:05:16If you are on time, you are, in fact, late.
00:05:20It's a joke, Adam.
00:05:22Hello?
00:05:23Adam.
00:05:25Hello?
00:05:27No, thank you.
00:05:28You have no receip.
00:05:29Not 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 think I'm going to stick with my regular double espresso.
00:05:44I have a big day today.
00:05:44Oh, 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.
00:05:54Is that coming from the CEO or my mother?
00:05:55Whichever 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.
00:06:38What is happening?
00:06:42Replies to a very, very, very important email that I sent during their lunch break.
00:06:45Oh, Luke.
00:06:48Do-
00:06:50Come on.
00:06:51Do not make me count to ten.
00:06:52Don't count to ten.
00:06:54I will do it.
00:06:55One, two, three, four.
00:06:57Is that a time of Banderas?
00:06:58Don't you really like that?
00:06:59Are you-
00:07:03Just one second.
00:07:04Oh, no, you didn't.
00:07:05Desperate times call for desperate measures, Mom.
00:07:07I couldn't agree more.
00:07:11Leanne?
00:07:12Do it.
00:07:18What did you do?
00:07:20I deactivated your account.
00:07:22I'll do it.
00:07:23I'll do it.
00:07:24It's time for you to go on vacation.
00:07:26I don't want to go on vacation, Mother.
00:07:28Listen to me.
00:07:29Maybe not, but your team needs a vacation from you.
00:07:31So, 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.
00:07:50I don't know.
00:08:00So close.
00:08:10Oops.
00:08:33Thank you again.
00:08:38Land over to tavern.
00:08:39Jared, it's Luke.
00:08:40Luke.
00:08:40Is it a good time?
00:08:42Luke, of course it's a good time.
00:08:43What's going on, man?
00:08:44Let's see what you're up to.
00:08:45Hey, hun.
00:08:46It's Luke.
00:08:48Luke?
00:08:48Yeah.
00:08:49Put him on video.
00:08:49Put him on video.
00:08:51No, no, no.
00:08:52It's...
00:08:52Hi!
00:08:53Hey!
00:08:55Oh.
00:08:56Oh, are you okay?
00:08:58Um, no.
00:08:59I'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.
00:09:15Right 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 due for a trip.
00:09:24Well, we're telling you that photo was taken over two years ago helped get you down here.
00:09:28That was two years ago?
00:09:29I mean, it's been three, bud.
00:09:30Who's counting?
00:09:32But 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.
00:09:36Yes.
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
00:09:40you upstairs.
00:09:41It's a Luke's room.
00:09:42Well, actually, Candace, Luke is a creature of habit.
00:09:44So.
00:09:45I do apologize, Candace, but a trip to Landover would not be complete without a stay at the
00:09:50Apple Hill.
00:09:58Hey, in Washington, please, does this say Archibald?
00:10:04Anderson?
00:10:06Nope.
00:10:07Underwood.
00:10:08It says Underwood.
00:10:09That's your final 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
00:10:20system into 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.
00:11:00Candace 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.
00:11:12Oh, anything to me.
00:11:14I invested because you guys are crazy talented.
00:11:17Yeah, well, both could be true.
00:11:18What happened to Rusty's what?
00:11:20Yeah.
00:11:21Shut down after you retired a couple years back.
00:11:24Are you serious?
00:11:25Mm-hmm.
00:11:26Aw, 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 matched?
00:11:42Please say now.
00:11:43Right now.
00:11:43Right here.
00:11:44Oh, wait.
00:11:45Wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:11:47Yeah, hi.
00:11:51All right.
00:11:52I'll, uh, I'll see you soon.
00:11:55That's convenient.
00:11:56Yeah.
00:11:57Super convenient.
00:11:58It's gonna have to be a rain check.
00:12:00Get out of here.
00:12:12Yeah.
00:12:14I'll come home.
00:12:26Excuse 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.
00:12:34So they just tore all this down?
00:12:37And built this beautiful park.
00:12:55Hey, Elise.
00:12:56Hey, Tony.
00:12:57Me?
00:12:58The usual.
00:12:59Ooh.
00:13:00Not bad of a day.
00:13:02I 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.
00:13:20Maybe 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.
00:13:35Huh.
00:13:37Uh, well, we could play two-player.
00:13:40Oh.
00:13:41No.
00:13:41I play alone.
00:13:42It's sort of my form of meditation.
00:13:45I can already tell you seem like the type of person that needs to zen out.
00:13:51It says the guy wearing sunglasses indoors.
00:13:55What?
00:13:56No, that cannot be your score.
00:13:59It 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 light and I came over and I asked you if I could play.
00:14:09Come on, come on.
00:14:10You know what?
00:14:11Excuse me.
00:14:12There.
00:14:13There.
00:14:15New top score.
00:14:24But that's my game.
00:14:29Well done.
00:14:30Thank you, 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.
00:14:43Oh, luckily it is just a game.
00:14:47But I...
00:14:48I 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 was rude and arrogant and 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 instead of sorting through these 20 guest
00:15:10files?
00:15:10Oh, but Nora, the tactile feel of paper, though.
00:15:18What?
00:15:18What's this?
00:15:20Solo guest.
00:15:22Lucas Bellwether.
00:15:24Bellwether, as in Bellwether Holdings.
00:15:26The hotel group?
00:15:29Nora, look at your iPad.
00:15:31Look him up.
00:15:32Okay.
00:15:33Bellwether.
00:15:33Right here, right here.
00:15:34Uh, as Bellwether Holdings CFO, Lucas Bellwether has increased profits and helped to facilitate funding to add several regional chains
00:15:43to 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 gonna stay here.
00:15:53Okay.
00:15:54Hi.
00:15:55Checking 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?
00:16:08Uh, just for the record, I did have a higher score, but there was a blackout at Tony's Pizza and
00:16:12it deleted all the information from the game.
00:16:14So.
00:16:15Stop being in debt.
00:16:16That actually doesn't exist.
00:16:20It says here that you want down alternative pillows and laundry service.
00:16:25If that's fine or just a simple irony would be great.
00:16:28I'm sorry.
00:16:29I'm sorry.
00:16:29We, we can't provide any of that.
00:16:31You know what?
00:16:32That must be disappointing for you.
00:16:34So I can go ahead and call other hotels in the area and see if maybe-
00:16:36That'll, that'll, that'll be fine.
00:16:38Uh, I need to stay here.
00:16:41And we would love to have you.
00:16:43Also, you know, the wifi is down and-
00:16:49Good 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.
00:16:54We use actual keys.
00:16:56Oh.
00:16:58Adorable.
00:16:59Like, like 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.
00:17:08Sounds great.
00:17:09And you know what?
00:17:10Grab him a welcome basket while you're there.
00:17:12Ah, too kind.
00:17:13Everyone gets one.
00:17:18There you are.
00:17:19It's just up those stairs.
00:17:20You'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,
00:17:34I'm gonna give him the worst week of his life.
00:17:38How is there no reception?
00:17:40None?
00:17:44Oh.
00:17:57Uh.
00:17:58Uh.
00:18:12Oh.
00:18:14Ah.
00:18:14Oh.
00:18:14Oh.
00:18:15Oh.
00:18:16Oh.
00:18:19Oh.
00:18:20Oh.
00:18:27You will return in two weeks, but in the meantime, I'll be cancelling all meetings, and your deadlines will be
00:18:34extended until Luke's return.
00:18:36No, 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?
00:19:03Oh, my God.
00:19:15Can I help you?
00:19:16My phone doesn't seem to be working.
00:19:19Oh, that one's on the fritz.
00:19:24Along 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.
00:19:34I'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.
00:19:43Mr. Bellweather, I told you about our limitations when you checked in.
00:19:49We'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
00:20:00effort.
00:20:01We just became a Landover historic destination.
00:20:05And last month, I received a hospitality award from the Innkeepers Guild.
00:20:12You just made that up.
00:20:14No, the...
00:20:15Do you want to see my plaques?
00:20:17Did you buy them on the Internet?
00:20:20You don't buy plaques on the...
00:20:23No, I didn't buy them on the Internet.
00:20:28No, I didn't buy them on the Internet.
00:21:06I think we're all set for tomorrow.
00:21:08You know, I think this is the Inn's 67th apple harvest.
00:21:13That is a lot of apples.
00:21:15And a lot of memories.
00:21:17One of those days it makes me feel like my grandma and grandpa are still here.
00:21:20Well, they definitely are.
00:21:22And that is thanks to you, Elise.
00:21:26The question is, what now?
00:21:28Well, we still have a decent amount of occupancy for the rest of October.
00:21:33Decent is not going to cut it if we're going to get to that 15% profit the bank needs
00:21:37to see.
00:21:38And, um, what happens if we don't hit that number?
00:21:47We have lights.
00:21:48Ta-da.
00:21:49For now.
00:21:50Chuck.
00:21:52Hi.
00:21:52I didn't know that you were here.
00:21:55Oh, just don't tell my boss.
00:21:57It's after hours.
00:21:58Oh, I can't thank you enough.
00:22:00Well, it's only temporary.
00:22:01For how long?
00:22:02I don't know.
00:22:04Um, can we get you dinner?
00:22:06I mean, for your hard work.
00:22:07For your service.
00:22:08No, I have a sandwich in the truck.
00:22:10Cool.
00:22:11Hey, what do I owe you?
00:22:12This one's on me.
00:22:13But, uh, I mean, at least you need an upgraded panel.
00:22:17Sooner, the better.
00:22:19Okay.
00:22:20Yeah.
00:22:20Thank you, Chuck.
00:22:22Bye, Chuck.
00:22:24Did he say bye back?
00:22:26Chuck?
00:22:27No.
00:22:28Oh.
00:22:29Oh.
00:22:30So, uh, Chuck, huh?
00:22:32What?
00:22:33What?
00:22:34What?
00:22:35Chuck?
00:22:36I don't know.
00:22:36No.
00:22:37No, that Chuck.
00:22:38I'm pretty excited to give him something to eat.
00:22:39Well, because I like to feed people.
00:22:46So, how has I walked 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.
00:23:00I've seen a lot of places come and go, but that one was hard.
00:23:02I wonder if our old hockey photo's in the new school.
00:23:04I doubt it.
00:23:06Yeah.
00:23:07But I do have a photo for you.
00:23:09Sit tight.
00:23:09Okay.
00:23:14That is a photo.
00:23:16Come on.
00:23:18Right?
00:23:19Are you serious?
00:23:20Yeah.
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.
00:23:28You were a terror.
00:23:30I was.
00:23:30What happened to you?
00:23:31I don't know.
00:23:34Oh, Halloween at Apple Hill.
00:23:35Mm-hmm.
00:23:36So cute.
00:23:37Apple Hill, even that place has changed.
00:23:40I mean, I get there, my door knob falls off, the phones don't work, the sink's leaking,
00:23:44and the woman who's running it, Elise, she shouldn't even be in hospitality.
00:23:48Like, what is happening?
00:23:49Well, Elise is pretty much the only reason that Apple Hill is still going.
00:23:53Yeah, she took over after her grandparents passed.
00:23:55Mm-hmm.
00:23:57Is this the same Elise from high school?
00:24:00Elise Jacobs?
00:24:01Yeah.
00:24:01Same one.
00:24:02It's even worse.
00:24:03I remember her grandparents.
00:24:05They would be furious if they knew the condition it was in.
00:24:08I'm sorry.
00:24:09I don't mean to.
00:24:10I 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.
00:24:19It's true.
00:24:19And I'm awesome.
00:24:20Hey, we're awesome.
00:24:21We're awesome.
00:24:23You 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.
00:24:31Yeah, it's true.
00:24:34Why not me?
00:24:39How are we doing for ticket sales for tomorrow?
00:24:42Uh, you mean for the Orchard Harvest?
00:24:46No, for the other event we're selling tickets to tomorrow.
00:24:49Yes, for the Harvest.
00:24:51Okay, one moment.
00:24:54What?
00:24:56Nora, what's the number?
00:24:5818.
00:24:59It's never been that low.
00:25:0118.
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.
00:25:21I, um...
00:25:22I asked earlier as an employee.
00:25:25But now I need to ask as a friend.
00:25:29How long can we go without a loan?
00:25:32As a friend.
00:25:35I'm not sure we'll make it past October.
00:25:39Especially if the event tomorrow is a flop.
00:25:44It's late.
00:25:45I'm not sure we'll make it past October.
00:25:45We should call it a night.
00:25:48Okay.
00:25:53Good night.
00:25:54Good night.
00:25:56Good night.
00:26:19Excuse me.
00:26:21Excuse me.
00:26:22I didn't need housekeeping.
00:26:24Oh, that's so funny.
00:26:25What are you doing?
00:26:27I am fixing what you were unwilling to.
00:26:29It is almost midnight.
00:26:31People are sleeping.
00:26:32Well, I am done for now.
00:26:34Well, you're done for good,
00:26:35because I didn't give you permission to do anything.
00:26:37I would be more than happy to undo all of my handiwork once I leave.
00:26:42Which cannot come soon enough.
00:26:45I figured you might say that,
00:26:47but I paid for this room bare and square,
00:26:49so until I check out, you're stuck with me.
00:26:53I could use some clean towels, though.
00:27:22Oh, come on.
00:27:25Perfect.
00:27:26We'll see you at noon.
00:27:27Okay, bye.
00:27:28Got three more.
00:27:30Hey, I knew we had last-minute joiners.
00:27:32Phew.
00:27:33I can't tell you how many of them.
00:27:34Too bad I didn't have any fresh towels,
00:27:36but it did manage to dry off with three bedsheets.
00:27:38I can't give you that right there.
00:27:40Actually, that's kind of genius.
00:27:42Ooh, scones.
00:27:43I'd love one, please.
00:27:43Yeah, great.
00:27:44Yeah, and also put me down for apple picking
00:27:46unless you manage to mess that up, too.
00:27:48Oh, no.
00:27:49I should mention that apple picking takes actual work.
00:27:53Well, I'm good with work, as you know, per last night.
00:27:57What he's referring to is the fact that in the middle of the night,
00:28:00he decided to change a door handle without my permission.
00:28:03Fix the door handle, also the phone jack,
00:28:06the electrical outlet, and a leaky sink,
00:28:07but I digress.
00:28:09What's the Wi-Fi?
00:28:10Yeah, we don't need to give that.
00:28:12Apple Wi-Fi?
00:28:13Lower case?
00:28:15Mm-hmm.
00:28:16Great.
00:28:18Thank you, Nora.
00:28:23Um, he repaired his room?
00:28:27Yeah, apparently.
00:28:29Too bad he can't fix all of them.
00:28:31That would increase occupancy.
00:28:35Actually?
00:28:37Maybe he can.
00:29:12Mother?
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.
00:29:23Oh, I was so hoping that you would
00:29:25be 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, yeah, we did, but Landover has changed so much.
00:29:37I mean, so many places are gone,
00:29:40and everywhere else I just don't even recognize.
00:29:42Mm-hmm.
00:29:43A 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
00:29:54to really enjoy this moment.
00:29:57Because it won't be coming back.
00:30:01Oh, I have a meeting.
00:30:03Bye for now, honey.
00:30:13Have fun.
00:30:14Bye.
00:30:15Enjoy.
00:30:16Bye.
00:30:18Oh, 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.
00:30:29No, no, it's still early.
00:30:31Am I here on the right day?
00:30:34I don't, um,
00:30:36I don't think I see a Bellwether pre-registered here.
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,
00:30:55not gain followers.
00:30:56Definitely use some followers, you know.
00:31:00I 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,
00:31:17is you have a problem with my family's company.
00:31:22I'm 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?
00:31:30Oh, actually,
00:31:31I 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...
00:31:46Have a good day.
00:31:49Goodbye.
00:32:02Hey, buddy.
00:32:04Sorry I got caught up with 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.
00:32:12Goodbye.
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.
00:32:29Just like old times.
00:32:31Is he a friend with Jared?
00:32:33I like that.
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 don't know if he's being taller.
00:32:44I mean, I completely get where you're coming from, especially if he's scouting to acquire
00:32:50Apple Hill.
00:32:52But 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?
00:33:02I'm 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.
00:33:08You guys look great.
00:33:08Three, two, one.
00:33:10Big smiles.
00:33:12All right.
00:33:12If you post it, please tag in at Apple Hill.
00:33:15Yeah.
00:33:15All right.
00:33:16Thanks, guys.
00:33:17Wasn't that great?
00:33:18Come on.
00:33:18What do you think?
00:33:19It's amazing.
00:33:20Right?
00:33:21I mean, who needs a vacation to Maui or Rome when you have Landover?
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, she calls it a mandatory vacation.
00:33:36Right.
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.
00:33:59Uh, I'm not missing it.
00:34:01Too 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.
00:34:07I'm on vacation.
00:34:14I'm glad you did.
00:34:16Sit later, bud.
00:34:16Good to see you.
00:34:21Jared.
00:34:22Elise.
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.
00:34:29Aw, thank you.
00:34:30It's too bad Candace couldn't make it.
00:34:31Yeah, she had that open house.
00:34:33Oh.
00:34:34That's good.
00:34:35Hey, I wanted to ask you something.
00:34:38Yeah, 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.
00:34:50That's, that's Luke from school?
00:34:52Yeah.
00:34:54I was a couple years behind you guys.
00:34:56I don't 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, if it wasn't for Luke, there would be no Landover Tavern.
00:35:12Speaking of which, I 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?
00:35:33Yeah, no, no.
00:35:35Broken window frame, change air filter, fixed image floor tiles, change smoke detectors.
00:35:41Wow, 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...
00:36:02You think we want to buy Apple Hill, don't you?
00:36:06I originally thought that, but then I found out who you were.
00:36:10Who-who am I?
00:36:12You're Luke, Jared's best friend from high school.
00:36:15I didn't know that until I talked to him.
00:36:16Yeah, Luke.
00:36:19Luke Bellwether was him then, Luke 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, we didn't hang out, and you always seem like this simple, carefree guy.
00:36:30Why?
00:36:33I'm still that guy.
00:36:37I didn't know that.
00:36:38I just saw a corporation, and I...
00:36:41I feel like I missed the chance to get to know you that way.
00:36:44Quick story.
00:36:47After my parents' divorce, my mom took me here, to Apple Hill, at the time of my life, apparently.
00:36:52Now, I was four years old, but I do remember that that was the weekend she decided to move to
00:36:57Landover.
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, for those memories.
00:37:09I'm sorry.
00:37:13Just stay.
00:37:14And I will make all of this up to you.
00:37:18I 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.
00:37:34I...
00:37:35I...
00:37:37I...
00:37:38I...
00:37:38I...
00:37:39I...
00:37:40I...
00:37:41I...
00:37:41I...
00:37:42I...
00:37:42I...
00:37:44I...
00:38:00I...
00:38:03I...
00:38:04I...
00:38:04I...
00:38:04I...
00:38:04I...
00:38:05I...
00:38:05I......
00:38:05I......
00:38:08I......
00:38:09I......
00:38:11I......
00:38:11I... I...
00:38:14Well, 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.
00:38:42But, 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.
00:39:08How'd you sleep?
00:39:10Good.
00:39:11That bed is comfortable.
00:39:12Better than your room over at Apple Hill.
00:39:15Yeah.
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.
00:39:21Okay.
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, but I'll see you later.
00:39:33Deal.
00:39:35What?
00:39:35We'll see you later.
00:39:35Yeah.
00:39:35Yeah.
00:39:37Yeah.
00:39:44Let's go.
00:40:25Can I help you?
00:40:30Consider this a freshly baked mea culpa.
00:40:41Hi.
00:40:43Um, thank you for all your help with the electrical at the inn.
00:40:47This is from Elise.
00:40:49Oh.
00:40:51Okay.
00:41:07I should never have had preconceived notions about you.
00:41:09I didn't know what the inn meant to you and your mom, and I'm...
00:41:15I am truly sorry.
00:41:22Do all of your apologies smell this good?
00:41:24Mm-hmm.
00:41:25As long as I'm not the one baking them.
00:41:30Be here.
00:41:31Come in.
00:41:36Uh, can I get you a coffee?
00:41:38That'd be great.
00:41:42Lovely change of pace.
00:41:43A coffee truce, if you will.
00:41:47Truce?
00:41:49I was not the one at war.
00:41:51Fair.
00:41:52Sure.
00:41:54But I did want to ask, had I been interested in the inn, you could have just said no.
00:41:59I was...
00:42:01I was a little afraid I'd say yes.
00:42:05Why's that?
00:42:07Because 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?
00:42:27It's keeping me up at night.
00:42:30I'm worried that I'm not going to get the funding I need and that I'm...
00:42:34I'm going to have to let it go.
00:42:37How long do you think you can go without the loan?
00:42:40Maybe through the first week of November.
00:42:43Maybe.
00:42:52Well...
00:42:53Good news is, I think I can help.
00:42:56If you let me.
00:42:59Uh, how are your books? Any upcoming events?
00:43:02Nope.
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.
00:43:16This Halloween?
00:43:18This Halloween.
00:43:19The one that's in a matter of days.
00:43:20Matter of days. Plenty of time. Perfect.
00:43:22I really appreciate your enthusiasm. I 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 if you give me a second chance and you finish your stay at
00:43:58Apple Hill.
00:44:00Elyse Jacobs, you have a deal.
00:44:15Um, discard, um, keep.
00:44:21Oh, I liked him.
00:44:23It'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.
00:44:49It was right after the hockey state championship.
00:44:52It hung in a high school for years.
00:44:55It was like a permanent part of the community.
00:44:58And...
00:45:00Now it's gone.
00:45:01Neither of you have a copy?
00:45:03No.
00:45:05In the arcade?
00:45:06Oh, okay. I cried when they closed that down.
00:45:09You see, 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
00:45:24our party?
00:45:31They seem pretty into their work. Maybe 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.
00:45:41She 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?
00:46:04Every single hand went up.
00:46:07I 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?
00:46:15That's what you need to improve your outlook. A little Bramers 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.
00:46:27Alright. You'll see.
00:46:29They better have it. They better have it.
00:46:32Candy corn, really?
00:46:35Everyone 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, you just light up.
00:47:00Are you like that about the city?
00:47:03Uh, pizza, yes.
00:47:05Other 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.
00:47:15One more try.
00:47:16Because I'm adventurous.
00:47:21You know what?
00:47:22No.
00:47:25See? Even the trash can didn't want it.
00:47:28What did you get?
00:47:30You saw a whole array of ice creams you could have chosen from.
00:47:34It looks delicious.
00:47:35Give me a bite.
00:47:38May I have a bite?
00:47:39Better.
00:47:41God, you fell for that.
00:47:55Were you all done with breakfast?
00:47:58Yeah. Officially it is, but I can get you something.
00:48:00No, no, no. I'm good.
00:48:02I just wanted to see if you were free.
00:48:04I had something planned.
00:48:05The adventure awaits.
00:48:08Ooh.
00:48:09Okay.
00:48:10Give me just a minute.
00:48:12Great.
00:48:15Where are you taking me?
00:48:16That, m'lady, is a surprise.
00:48:18Oh. Well, 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.
00:48:35But I do know these are some odd-looking pumpkins.
00:48:38I wonder who farms them.
00:48:41You want odd-looking?
00:48:43You 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.
00:48:51It's been ten years.
00:48:54Busy, an excuse?
00:48:55I'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.
00:49:04Elise owns Inn at Apple Hill.
00:49:06Hannah and Charlie's place.
00:49:08I'm the granddaughter. I took it over.
00:49:10How'd you get tangled up with this guy?
00:49:12Oh, yeah, right?
00:49:14Uh, we're thinking about bringing back the Halloween party at the Inn.
00:49:17And what's a Halloween party without some pumpkins?
00:49:20So, 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.
00:49:28All right.
00:49:28Yeah, that'd be great. Thank you.
00:49:30I'll be right back.
00:49:33So you haven't talked to him in ten years.
00:49:35And you show up and ask him a favor, and he agrees.
00:49:40Yeah.
00:49:40Yeah.
00:49:42Let's go find some pumpkins.
00:49:46You're all set, Miss Randall.
00:49:47Yeah, we look forward to your stay, too.
00:49:50Okay.
00:49:51Bye.
00:49:57Hey, Nora.
00:50:01Hi.
00:50:01Um, how 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.
00:50:08Hi.
00:50:09Well, she is out at the moment, but I will...
00:50:11I will pass that word along.
00:50:13Oh.
00:50:16What you doing?
00:50:19Uh, I am just working on a little surprise for Elise.
00:50:25Need any help?
00:50:30I'm, uh, I'm just kind of in the zone.
00:50:36Cool.
00:50:37Gotcha.
00:50:38Oh!
00:50:39Hi.
00:50:40Oh, hi.
00:50:41Hi, Chuck.
00:50:42Hey.
00:50:42Hey.
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.
00:50:56Hey, Luke.
00:50:57Chuck.
00:50:57The electrician.
00:50:58Oh, nice to meet you.
00:50:59I think this is...
00:51:00It's gonna look good.
00:51:01Yeah.
00:51:01Yeah, and we have, uh, pumpkins, hay bales.
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 add 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
00:51:17it 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.
00:51:26I 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, how much's the new panel cost?
00:51:41It's $12,103.
00:51:43And 42 cents.
00:51:46That is specific.
00:51:48But hey, we have options.
00:51:50No.
00:51:50Don't even say it.
00:51:51No, I mean, if it needs the repairs, it needs the repairs.
00:51:53No, I'm not taking a handout from you, Luke.
00:51:56It's not a handout, I promise.
00:51:59End of discussion.
00:52:03I'm gonna...
00:52:24What if we called it a, uh, I don't know, temporary loan?
00:52:31That 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.
00:52:42I 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.
00:52:57No.
00:53:00Maybe a little.
00:53:03If 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.
00:53:23I think we need to quit while we're ahead.
00:53:31Um...
00:53:33That might be problematic.
00:53:35I've already made an announcement.
00:53:39When? Where?
00:53:40Uh, this morning.
00:53:42Social media and the Landover Tribune.
00:53:45Um...
00:53:48You...
00:53:49You need to cancel it.
00:53:51Well, see, I can't, cause, uh, what?
00:53:53We've already sold 110 tickets.
00:54:01No, no.
00:54:02Wait a minute.
00:54:03No, no, no.
00:54:04No, no.
00:54:04This deal has been as good as done for weeks,
00:54:06and you're telling me that Starfield's making additional demands now in the 11th hour?
00:54:12No.
00:54:12No.
00:54:12No, 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!
00:54:31And 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.
00:54:41Um, do we have any updates from Luke on ticket sales?
00:54:45Yeah, we're at over 200.
00:54:47That's amazing.
00:54:49And 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.
00:55:14She says, it's there.
00:55:18What does that mean?
00:55:22Looks so good, doesn't it?
00:55:29So, I know it might not look like much right now, but the plan is to convert this into a
00:55:34private events room.
00:55:35I mean, once I can get this all cleared out.
00:55:37And once that's done, you think about a second location?
00:55:40That might be a Luke Bellwether thing to do, but me, I'm having a hard enough time keeping up as
00:55:45it is.
00:55:46How are the plans for Halloween coming along?
00:55:48Um, the end's electricity won't support all the decorations that I think we should be doing, so, but 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, I'd be worried about the power going out anytime
00:55:59I made a cup of coffee.
00:56:01So, would you, did you upgrade?
00:56:02No, I, uh, got a generator. We're up to three now.
00:56:07Generators.
00:56:28Hi, you've reached Luke Bellwether, CFO of Bellwether Holdings. I'm unavailable at the moment, but if you please leave your
00:56:34name, number...
00:56:36Since when doesn't he answer the phone?
00:56:39What are we doing at the library? I thought we picked up all the Halloween decorations.
00:56:43We did indeed.
00:56:47Oh, thank you.
00:56:49You're welcome.
00:56:50Oh, wow.
00:56:52Look at that.
00:56:53Do you remember, Steve?
00:56:56Look at that, man. Heck yeah, old nine.
00:57:00God, that was great.
00:57:02Look at this next one.
00:57:07What?
00:57:09Are you serious?
00:57:11Yeah.
00:57:12I remembered hearing about an installation that had photos from Landover High School, and I wasn't sure yours was in
00:57:17here, but I made a call, and here it is.
00:57:22I can't believe this.
00:57:23I can't believe this. You tracked this down for me?
00:57:26I got determined to find something that hadn't changed.
00:57:32Plus, I was dying to see your reaction.
00:57:40I hope it didn't.
00:57:40I hope it didn't disappoint.
00:57:44No, it didn't.
00:57:49I feel like I've watched you come to life since you've been here.
00:57:52What can I say? It's contagious.
00:57:56Maybe a little.
00:57:58It's a little.
00:58:00I know that I'm going to be back in the city, but there'll be a piece of me here.
00:58:09Well, you have left...
00:58:12much more of an impression than any photo could.
00:58:28Fresh pastries!
00:58:30Oh, good morning!
00:58:33Enjoy.
00:58:35Nora!
00:58:36There you are!
00:58:37Just wondering where you were.
00:58:40Sorry.
00:58:42I'm actually not sure how to tell you this, but...
00:58:45Here.
00:58:45Is everything okay?
00:58:47Yep.
00:58:50Guest book?
00:58:51Yeah, out of all the platforms, their reviews were the best, so I met with the sales rep, and they
00:58:55agreed to give us a three-month trial.
00:58:58We already have reservations.
00:59:00Because I went live last week without telling you, but you can't be upset at me because I hand-wrote
00:59:05all reservations in your guest book so that you wouldn't notice.
00:59:09You are nothing if not determined.
00:59:12And I've been entering in all past guest notes during my downtime.
00:59:16There is one problem.
00:59:17Mom.
00:59:20We're fully booked for Halloween!
00:59:22Yes!
00:59:23Yeah!
00:59:23What?
00:59:34What?
00:59:36Hello?
00:59:37Why aren't you answering my calls?
00:59:40You told me to dis...
00:59:41Disconnect, not disappear.
00:59:44Listen, honey, I'm very glad to hear that you've had a nice stay in Landover, but how would you feel
00:59:50about coming back?
00:59:52Sooner than three days from now?
00:59:54Sooner as in today. It's urgent.
01:00:04Good morning, Nora.
01:00:06Good morning.
01:00:07Hey, uh, are we all set for today?
01:00:10Yes!
01:00:11As long as you can keep Elise away.
01:00:14I can try.
01:00:15Um, I knew where she was.
01:00:17Where is she?
01:00:17She went to Candace and Jared's tavern.
01:00:20Hey, Nora.
01:00:20Oh, or Luke.
01:00:22What's going on, Chuck?
01:00:23Oh, Chuck volunteered to help us with the lights.
01:00:25That is great.
01:00:27Um, I just remembered I forgot something inside, so...
01:00:34Okay.
01:00:36Okay.
01:00:38How well do you know, Nora?
01:00:39Uh, just from work done around here at Apple Hill.
01:00:42And, uh, she brought me a pie.
01:00:45A pie? That's nice.
01:00:46Yeah, from Elise, but it was great timing. My sister was in town and she loves the apple pie.
01:00:51Uh, Chuck, would it be a crazy idea to think that maybe Nora might like you?
01:00:59Uh, me?
01:01:01Uh, no. Nora is, uh, she's way out of my league.
01:01:10Chords!
01:01:12Yeah. Thanks.
01:01:30All right, and we have the butternut squash gnocchi with arugula salad. Careful, plates are hot.
01:01:36And we have the fire-roasted chicken with honey-glazed carrots.
01:01:40Enjoy.
01:01:41Elise, what?
01:01:43Hi.
01:01:43Hey, you.
01:01:44Oh, so good to see you.
01:01:46You too.
01:01:47What can I do for you?
01:01:49Elise?
01:01:49Well, this is such a surprise.
01:01:51Oh, hi.
01:01:52Hi.
01:01:52Oh, it's so good to see you.
01:01:54Oh, I just got a new listing.
01:01:56What? That's amazing.
01:01:57But it's not just any listing. It is Luke's childhood home.
01:02:01No.
01:02:01Oh, sorry. I totally took over this.
01:02:03No, no, no. What can we do for you?
01:02:05Uh, well, I came to ask you guys a favor.
01:02:09Sure. Anything.
01:02:10Okay.
01:02:11Well, Luke told you about the Halloween party at Apple Hill.
01:02:13Well, our oven has been on the fritz, and I was hoping that maybe we could prep some items here
01:02:21for the party.
01:02:21Or maybe we could do the food for the party.
01:02:26Yeah.
01:02:27That's so much. I couldn't let you. We want to support you.
01:02:30Yeah. And it's great advertisement for the restaurant.
01:02:32Mm-hmm.
01:02:33Well, then...
01:02:34No brainer.
01:02:34How could I say no? I...
01:02:36No.
01:02:37Thank you. We would never let you say no.
01:02:39It's true.
01:02:42In that case, I do have one more little question. Shoot.
01:02:46Go on.
01:02:48Oh, excuse me. Thank you.
01:02:50Stealing my friends, Jacobs?
01:02:52Hi.
01:02:54And not a chance. They are Luke devotees.
01:03:01I came here to source an oven for Halloween, and I ended up securing a food vendor.
01:03:06I'm sorry. Was that you asking someone else for help?
01:03:10They volunteered, to be honest.
01:03:12Ah.
01:03:13Hmm.
01:03:14I was surprised to see how excited they were about the party.
01:03:16Why would you be surprised?
01:03:18Everyone here wants you and Apple Hill to succeed.
01:03:21Including someone who's just randomly hanging out by my car?
01:03:25Oh, no, no, no. Not random.
01:03:27I'm on a mission.
01:03:28To take you to an early dinner.
01:03:30Why do I have the feeling you're trying to keep me from the inn?
01:03:33Because I am.
01:03:35But don't worry. You're gonna approve.
01:03:40As long as I get to choose a place.
01:03:42So you're really not gonna tell me?
01:03:43That's not how surprises work.
01:03:45Is it, did you buy me a pony?
01:03:47Okay, keep them closed.
01:03:48This is ridiculous. I'm not 12.
01:03:54Open up.
01:03:59My childhood home? What?
01:04:02Well, Candace just got the listing, and so now we have access.
01:04:06Of course she did.
01:04:06This is amazing. Thank you.
01:04:08You're welcome.
01:04:12Listen, I, uh, I should go ahead and tell you that...
01:04:16We had a pretty big snag at work, and my mom needs me back in New York, so...
01:04:22But you're still here.
01:04:24I am.
01:04:26I told her I was not gonna miss Halloween at Apple Hill.
01:04:30After you.
01:04:43Have you ever noticed anything was up with, uh, Nora and Chuck?
01:04:48She used to have such a crush on him.
01:04:50Yeah?
01:04:51Then she went to surprise him with a pie.
01:04:53Then she met his girlfriend.
01:04:54Oh.
01:04:56His what?
01:04:58His girlfriend.
01:05:00That's not his girlfriend. That's his sister.
01:05:02She's visiting right now from out of town.
01:05:04No.
01:05:05Yeah.
01:05:06Oh, that changes everything.
01:05:09Oh, yeah.
01:05:12Your child at home being for sale the week you're visiting.
01:05:15Right?
01:05:16You think that's a sign?
01:05:17Well, it's too much of a coincidence to just let go.
01:05:23But ma'am...
01:05:26You hear that?
01:05:28Hear what?
01:05:31Nothing.
01:05:34No sirens, no buses, no city traffic.
01:05:39This is nice.
01:05:41This is peaceful.
01:05:44Sounds like you miss being here.
01:05:48Yeah.
01:05:51I mean, the truth is, I wish I could be two places at once.
01:05:56You know, fulfilling my obligations at Bellwether.
01:06:00And then having special moments like this with you.
01:06:05Sometimes you have to choose.
01:06:08I know Bellwether would survive and largely remain the same with or without you.
01:06:17But I can't say the same for everyone here.
01:06:21Including me.
01:06:38Oh my gosh.
01:06:40They're here.
01:06:41Okay.
01:06:42Okay.
01:06:47Okay.
01:06:50What?
01:06:51Come here.
01:06:54What is it?
01:06:55You'll see.
01:06:57Okay.
01:06:58Chuck!
01:06:59Now!
01:07:12Look, you said no new electricals.
01:07:15But nothing about borrowed generators.
01:07:18Wait.
01:07:19You did all of that with generators?
01:07:23No.
01:07:23Actually, uh...
01:07:24Oh.
01:07:25Nora and Chuck deserve most of the credit.
01:07:27No, no.
01:07:27It was along with a group of volunteers who were willing to decorate in exchange for a party invite.
01:07:35That's amazing.
01:07:36So I guess we're ready to throw a party.
01:07:40Luke!
01:07:41There you are.
01:07:43Finally.
01:07:44Mom.
01:07:44Oh.
01:07:46Hi, um...
01:07:47Hi.
01:07:48Oh, um, Mom.
01:07:49This is, uh, Elise.
01:07:51Elise.
01:07:51It's lovely to meet you.
01:07:53Oh, hello.
01:07:54Now I understand why my son won't return my calls.
01:07:59Um...
01:08:02Oh, boy.
01:08:07When did Star Fuel counter with different terms?
01:08:10Last week.
01:08:11Out of the blue, I have 16 hours left before they shop other buyers.
01:08:18If I could just call their bluff and do nothing, I would, but...
01:08:24I need you on this one, son.
01:08:27I truly don't.
01:08:30Watching you work, it's made me learn to trust at first.
01:08:33Intuition.
01:08:35Look at all your pros and cons, and then act.
01:08:39Wow.
01:08:41Right now, my intuition is telling me that I have not seen you this happy in a very long time.
01:08:48A break from reality will do that to someone.
01:08:50This is reality.
01:08:51You're Jared.
01:08:53You're Jared.
01:08:53Candace.
01:08:54Not to mention Elise.
01:09:01Star Fuel.
01:09:09Are you sure that...
01:09:10Is this a sister?
01:09:12What?
01:09:13A sister.
01:09:14A sister.
01:09:15Yes.
01:09:16Luke verified with Chuck, and he is 100% single.
01:09:21A matter of fact, he's here doing a scavenger hunt with some of the kids right now.
01:09:25He's here.
01:09:26That's cool.
01:09:27That's cool.
01:09:28Okay.
01:09:29So tonight is the night.
01:09:30I have all sales set to road here.
01:09:32All you have to do is enter expenses.
01:09:35Incredible.
01:09:35So at the end of the night, I will know completely where we stand.
01:09:38Yes.
01:09:39Thank you so much, Nora.
01:09:40You are brilliant.
01:09:42I meant to ask you, how are you feeling about this being Luke's last night?
01:09:48I...
01:09:49I shouldn't.
01:09:51No, I mean...
01:09:52Obviously, I wish he could stay in Landover, you know, so that we could get to know each other better.
01:09:58Yeah.
01:09:59But we ended to this knowing he was going to go back to the city, so...
01:10:03Wow.
01:10:05It's...
01:10:06Hi.
01:10:07I knew you guys were going to do a great job, but I mean, this is...
01:10:10This is incredible.
01:10:12It looks really great.
01:10:17Is that a selfie wall?
01:10:19Mm-hmm.
01:10:20I don't know if you're aware, but these are great for capturing the moment and also, at the same time,
01:10:26promoting the inn.
01:10:28I was not.
01:10:30It's genius, though.
01:10:31And you're...
01:10:31Yeah, you're scaring me a little bit.
01:10:33It is Halloween.
01:10:35Yes, it is.
01:10:36There's one other thing I want to show you.
01:10:38Follow me.
01:10:43This was not in the plans.
01:10:44No?
01:10:45Ice cream?
01:10:45Mm-hmm.
01:10:46Not just any ice cream.
01:10:48It's pumpkin ice cream.
01:10:51Really?
01:10:52Mm-hmm.
01:10:52You want to try it?
01:10:53You want to try it?
01:10:54Yes, I do.
01:10:54Oh, thank you.
01:11:01Phenomenal.
01:11:02Phenomenal.
01:11:03Really?
01:11:0510 out of 10.
01:11:0610 out of 10.
01:11:07No notes.
01:11:07Better than Bramers.
01:11:08Mm.
01:11:09Which isn't saying much because Bramers doesn't have pumpkin ice cream.
01:11:13That's true.
01:11:14But if they did, that's it.
01:11:19I don't know what to say.
01:11:21No one's ever done anything like this for me.
01:11:27It's my pleasure.
01:11:29All right.
01:11:31Happy Halloween.
01:11:32Happy Halloween.
01:11:33Oh, my goodness.
01:11:34Look at everyone.
01:11:36See, y'all look so great.
01:11:38Awesome.
01:11:39What is this?
01:11:40Wow.
01:11:42Nora, where, uh, where's your costume?
01:11:46Oh, well, those, those are only for kids.
01:11:50Yeah.
01:11:51But you, you, you look great.
01:11:53Thanks.
01:11:54The tail is.
01:11:55Yeah.
01:11:55Some.
01:11:56It's growing on me.
01:11:59Keep forgetting it's back there.
01:12:10Keep forgetting it's back there.
01:12:15Used to have worries.
01:12:18Now this starts.
01:12:20I wanna scream from the mountain top.
01:12:24I go back to our street.
01:12:27Where we got our name in the holly tree.
01:12:31Used to feel pain.
01:12:33Now I feel all right, all right, all right.
01:12:45Hey.
01:12:48Well, what do you think?
01:12:50Honestly?
01:12:51Yeah.
01:12:52Best 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.
01:13:08Is this how you enjoy your own party?
01:13:11Usually, yes.
01:13:13I'm just trying to make sure everything stays stopped.
01:13:16Well, do me a favor.
01:13:18I just want you to stop.
01:13:21Take a look around.
01:13:24Cause you did all this.
01:13:26I couldn't have done it without everyone else.
01:13:27Well, I know, I know.
01:13:29But no one goes it along and achieves something great.
01:13:32And you and the sin are at the heart of it.
01:13:36Take your moment.
01:13:44Hey, look at that.
01:13:50One at a time.
01:13:51One at a time.
01:13:51One at a time.
01:13:53Yes.
01:13:56Oh, we did that together.
01:13:58Well done.
01:13:59Well done.
01:14:02It's called for a little celebration.
01:14:05Cause it's not a selfie wall until...
01:14:08We take a selfie.
01:14:18I'm just going to do one.
01:14:19Okay, yeah.
01:14:20I think that's going to be better.
01:14:21Bigger arms.
01:14:21There we go.
01:14:23Okay.
01:14:24Party's over.
01:14:25Do you guys need any help?
01:14:27No.
01:14:27Great.
01:14:28Okay.
01:14:28Hi.
01:14:29So I kind of think tonight is going to be the talk of the town.
01:14:31Oh.
01:14:33How's it going?
01:14:34Well, I see ticket sales, beverages, but I 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.
01:14:45Okay.
01:14:45Should we close our eyes?
01:14:49Did we do it?
01:14:53Elise?
01:15:14Oh.
01:15:16Everyone seemed to have a really great time.
01:15:19Oh, Ben.
01:15:20And, uh, we're already talking about next year.
01:15:26There 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...
01:15:39You did everything you could.
01:15:42It's just not your fault.
01:15:49I mean, I...
01:15:50I should feel better that attempting to do the impossible was actually impossible, right?
01:15:56But I don't.
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.
01:16:17Just far enough.
01:16:28You know I'm in the spring.
01:16:30I'm good.
01:16:39I'm give it a break.
01:16:47I'm going to aberry.
01:16:48I don't know.
01:16:48For real, you know.
01:16:48I'm not going to be able to leave.
01:16:48You know what?
01:17:06I was so inspired, I came straight back from Landover yesterday to prep.
01:17:11Well, when are we meeting with Starfield?
01:17:14Well, 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.
01:17:40This isn't easy for me to say, but I don't know if it's for forever, but for right now, I
01:17:54got the feeling you belong in Landover.
01:17:58You've put so much work into me.
01:18:02I just don't ever want to disappoint you.
01:18:05Oh.
01:18:07No.
01:18:09You could never disappoint me, son.
01:18:13Lucas, I am so proud of you.
01:18:19Actually, I think the only thing that could ever disappoint me is that somehow I prevented you from going after
01:18:26what you want in life.
01:18:29I love you, kid.
01:18:33Love you, too.
01:18:34I love you.
01:19:01Elise, 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
01:19:07to the 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.
01:19:14Elise, you did something so much better than just hit a number.
01:19:19Here, let me show you. Look.
01:19:22That is my son. That's his wife and their two daughters.
01:19:27Look at them.
01:19:28They 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.
01:19:44I don't understand. What are you saying?
01:19:47I'm saying that you proved me wrong.
01:19:49You 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.
01:20:03Oh, thank you.
01:20:06I'm your fault.
01:20:11Hey, 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.
01:20:25Let'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.
01:20:34I 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 would be a lot of fun.
01:20:50Yeah?
01:20:51Yeah.
01:20:52You don't need time to think about it?
01:20:54Hey, Candace.
01:20:55Amazing news.
01:20:56All it takes is just one moment to change everything.
01:20:59To 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, let's see, here are the two who'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.
01:21:25What about father?
01:21:27I 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.
01:21:35But I have to say, it's not the only reason I'm here.
01:21:40You are the reason.
01:21:43Are you up for this challenge?
01:21:46Do you mean being with you?
01:21:50I 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.
01:22:09Hi.
01:22:10Oh, this is for you today.
01:22:13It's for me.
01:22:16Hey.
01:22:18Do you like surprises?
01:22:20I'll show you something.
01:22:21Okay.
01:22:26To the right.
01:22:31Space barge.
01:22:35How did you...
01:22:36I made Tony an offer he could not refuse.
01:22:40Luke.
01:22:41Mm-hmm.
01:22:42You love space barge, right?
01:22:43I do.
01:22:44Yeah.
01:22:45Got quarters?
01:22:46Two players?
01:22:48Let's go.
01:22:49Yeah.
01:22:51Lucky we're on the same team.
01:23:00Ready?
01:23:02Yeah!
01:23:04But that should have been the high score.
01:23:07What is C-Heart-N?
01:23:11What is that?
01:23:12Yeah, Chuck and I, we weren't really sure how to tell you, but we're kind of the new champs.
01:23:20Not without a bite, you're not. Got more quarters?
01:23:24Yes, I do.
01:23:26And a kiss for good luck.
01:23:32Game on.
01:23:49Game on.
01:23:50Game on.
01:23:54Game on.
01:24:00Game on.
01:24:01Game on.
01:24:04Daniel.
