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.
00:07:59So close.
00:08:03Ah!
00:08:09Oops.
00:08:33Thank you again.
00:08:38Land of the 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...
00:08:53Hi!
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, right now I'm looking at a photo of us three.
00:09:18From what I think was the very opening of the tavern.
00:09:22Mm-mm.
00:09:23I think we're about due for a trip.
00:09:25Well, we're telling you that photo was taken over two years ago.
00:09:27Help get you down here?
00:09:28That was two years ago?
00:09:29Yeah, there's been three.
00:09:30But who'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!
00:09:36I can't wait.
00:09:37Well, obviously you're gonna stay with us because we got a whole bedroom for you upstairs
00:09:41with Luke's room.
00:09:42Well, actually, Candace, Luke is a creature of habit.
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.
00:10:08It 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 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.
00:11:00Candace 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.
00:11:12I don't owe anything to me.
00:11:13I 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 we retired a couple years back.
00:11:24Are you serious?
00:11:25Mm-hmm.
00:11:26Oh, 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.
00:11:43Right now.
00:11:43Right here.
00:11:44Oh, wait.
00:11:45Wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:11:47Yeah, hi.
00:11:51Okay.
00:11:51All right.
00:11:52I'll see you soon.
00:11:55That's convenient.
00:11:56Yeah.
00:11:56It's super convenient.
00:11:58It's going to have to be a rain check.
00:12:00Get out of here.
00:12:12Yeah.
00:12:14Pokemon.
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.
00:12:58The usual.
00:12:59Ooh.
00:13:00Not bad of a day?
00:13:01Ugh.
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.
00:13:12All right.
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 going to 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.
00:13:35Ha.
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.
00:13:45Well, I 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?
00:14:07You're 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.
00:14:15New top score.
00:14:24But that's my game.
00:14:30Well 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.
00:14:43Ooh, 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 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.
00:15:02Yeah.
00:15:02Great.
00:15:03So I'm thinking, what if we looked at this information on a tablet instead of sorting through these
00:15:0920 guest files?
00:15:10Oh, but Nora, the tactile feel of paper though.
00:15:18What?
00:15:19What's this?
00:15:20Uh, solo guest.
00:15:22Lucas Bellwether.
00:15:24Bellwether.
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
00:15:40funding 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 gonna stay here.
00:15:53Well done.
00:15:54I mean...
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?
00:16:07Hmm.
00:16:08Uh, just for the record, I did have a higher score, but there was a blackout at Tony's
00:16:12Pizza and it deleted all the information from the game, so...
00:16:15It's convenient.
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 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
00:16:36I'll see you maybe...
00:16:37No, no, no.
00:16:37That'll be fine.
00:16:38I need to stay here.
00:16:41And...
00:16:41We would love to have you.
00:16:44Also, 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.
00:16:58Adorable.
00:16:59Like Bates Motel.
00:17:02Let's get Mr. Bellwether room 11.
00:17:04No, we can't either.
00:17:05Nora, let's give him room 11.
00:17:07Sounds 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, I'm gonna give him the worst week of his life.
00:17:38How is there no reception?
00:17:40None?
00:17:40No, no, no.
00:17:46Oh...
00:17:59Oh...
00:18:26You will return in two weeks,
00:18:29but in the meantime, I'll be cancelling all meetings,
00:18:32and 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?
00:19:15Can I help you?
00:19:16My phone doesn't seem to be working.
00:19:18Oh, that one's on the fritz.
00:19:24Along with leaking pipes, busted door handles and loose outlets,
00:19:27I 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.
00:19:45Mr. 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
00:20:00effort.
00:20:02We just became a Landover historic destination.
00:20:05And last month, I received a hospitality award from the Innkeepers Guild.
00:20:11You just made that up.
00:20:14No, the...
00:20:15They're...
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.
00:20:27Donna Bellweather's office.
00:20:29Leanne, this is Luke.
00:20:30Is my mom around?
00:20:31Luke, I'm under very strict orders.
00:20:33This isn't urgent.
00:20:33Can you please get her?
00:20:35I can pass the word along, but she is busy at the moment, Luke.
00:20:39Doing what?
00:20:39If you must know, she's surprising the finance team with an overnight stay at Canyon Post Spa.
00:20:45So instead of them meeting deadlines, she's taking them to get massages?
00:20:48Yeah, and you know what? They're pretty excited about it.
00:20:52Oh, are they Leanne massages instead of work?
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.
00:21:15Mm.
00:21:15And a lot of memories.
00:21:17Mm-hmm.
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.
00:21:26The 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 gonna cut it if we're gonna get to that 15% profit the bank needs to 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?
00:22:05I 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.
00:22:17The sooner the better.
00:22:19Okay.
00:22:20Yeah.
00:22:20Thank you, Chuck.
00:22:22Bye, Chuck.
00:22:24Did he say bye back?
00:22:27No.
00:22:28Oh.
00:22:30So, uh, Chuck, huh?
00:22:32What?
00:22:33What?
00:22:33What?
00:22:34What?
00:22:35Chuck?
00:22:36I don't know.
00:22:36No.
00:22:37No.
00:22:37You seem pretty excited to give him something to eat.
00:22:39Well, cause I like to feed people.
00:22:46So, 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.
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 photos in the new school.
00:23:04Hmm.
00:23:05I 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.
00:24:47For 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?
00:24:58Eighteen.
00:24:59Eighteen.
00:24:59It's never been that low.
00:25:01Eighteen.
00:25:02Shoot.
00:25:04Now it's at fifteen because we just got a cancellation.
00:25:09Fifteen?
00:25:11What?
00:25:11What?
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.
00:25:29How 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. We should call it a night.
00:25:47Okay.
00:25:53Good night.
00:25:55Good night.
00:26:18Excuse me.
00:26:21Excuse me.
00:26:22I didn't need housekeeping.
00:26:23Oh, that's so funny.
00:26:25What are you doing?
00:26:27I am fixing what you are 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, um, but 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.
00:26:59Jesus.
00:27:00Jesus.
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.
00:27:29Hey, I knew we had last-minute joiners.
00:27:32Phew.
00:27:33I can't tell you how we did.
00:27:34Too bad I didn't have any fresh towels, but I did manage to dry off with three bed sheets.
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 unless you manage to mess that up, too.
00:27:48Oh, no.
00:27:49Mm-mm.
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, he decided to change
00:28:01a door handle without my permission.
00:28:03It's a door handle, also the phone jack, the electrical outlet, and a leaky sink, but
00:28:07I digress.
00:28:09What's the Wi-Fi?
00:28:10We don't use to give that.
00:28:13Lower case?
00:28:15Mm-hmm.
00:28:17Great.
00:28:18Thank you, Nora.
00:28:23Um, he-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.
00:28:36Actually, maybe he can.
00:28:51Yeah.
00:29:12Mother?
00:29:13I have changed my username and password, and 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 be staying someplace without internet.
00:29:28I-I 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, there's-
00:29:38So many places are gone, and everywhere else I just don't even recognize.
00:29:42Mm.
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, and the visit after that.
00:29:52Which is why you owe it to yourself to 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.

00:36:47after my parents divorced my mom took me here
00:36:49to apple hill at the time of my life apparently now i was four years old but i do

00:37:40i am not gonna let me know
00:37:41please
00:37:59oh it smells amazing in here unfortunately the oven is on its last legs you know that some of
00:38:05these pies went through three rounds of baking before they were ready oh and they have the
00:38:11bruises to show for it well 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
00:38:24I've literally tried everything my grandma and grandpa would do in this situation
00:38:29nothing's clicking but you know what something will because it always does maybe it's my fault
00:38:37you know look how I jumped to conclusions with Luke maybe a little bit but I heard that he's
00:38:45staying with his friends who own Landover Tavern Candace and Jared mm-hmm fun fact about Lucas
00:38:51Bellwether loves apple pies he does no I have no idea but there's only one way to find out
00:39:06hey look who's up hey how'd you sleep good that bed is comfortable better than your room over at
00:39:14apple hill yeah added bonus I don't have to deal with Elise Jacobs right tea no something stronger
00:39:20please okay I'm gonna have to leave the coffee to you though you know how to use one of these
00:39:27things
00:39:27right I gotta hit up the tavern uh but I'll see you later deal
00:39:58what
00:39:59what
00:40:26Can I help you?
00:40:30Consider this a freshly baked mea culpa.
00:40:39Mara.
00:40:41Hi.
00:40:43Thank you for all your help with the electrical at the inn.
00:40:47This is from Elise.
00:40:50Oh.
00:40:52OK.
00:41:07I 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.
00:41:22Do all of your apologies smell this good?
00:41:25As long as I'm not the one baking them.
00:41:30Here.
00:41:31Come here.
00:41:32Come here.
00:41:37Uh...
00:41:37Can I get you a coffee?
00:41:39That'd be great.
00:41:42Lovely change of pace.
00:41:43A coffee truce, if you will.
00:41:45Well, truce, I was not the one at war.
00:41:52Fair.
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, good news is, I think I can help.
00:42:56If you'll let me.
00:42:59Uh, how are your books?
00:43:01Any 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.
00:43:21Plenty of time.
00:43:21Perfect.
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.
00:43:59Elise Jacobs?
00:44:02You have a deal.
00:44:05Elise Jacobs?
00:44:11You have a deal?
00:44:15Um.
00:44:18Discard.
00:44:19Um.
00:44:20Keep.
00:44:20Oh, I liked him.
00:44:22It's okay.
00:44:25It'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.
00:44:59And now it's gone.
00:45:01Neither of you have a copy?
00:45:03No.
00:45:04Hmm.
00:45:06In the arcade?
00:45:06Oh, okay.
00:45:07I 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.
00:45:16And 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.
00:45:32Maybe we should just post a flyer.
00:45:35Why wait?
00:45:36We're here now.
00:45:37Excuse me, guys.
00:45:38This won't take long.
00:45:40I'm Luke.
00:45:40This 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?
00:45:54Show 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.
00:46:17A 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.
00:46:27All right.
00:46:28You'll see.
00:46:29They better have it.
00:46:31They better have it.
00:46:33Candy corn, really?
00:46:35Everyone loves it.
00:46:36No.
00:46:37Everyone 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?
00:47:04Pizza, 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
00:47:13bellwether.
00:47:15One more try.
00:47:16Because I'm adventurous.
00:47:21You know what?
00:47:23No.
00:47:25See?
00:47:26Even the trash can didn't want it.
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?
00:47:39Better.
00:47:41God, you fell for that.
00:47:43God, you fell for that.
00:47:56Were you all done with breakfast?
00:47:57Yeah.
00:47:59Officially it is, but I can get you something.
00:48:00No, no, no.
00:48:01I'm good.
00:48:02I just wanted to see if you were free.
00:48:04I had something planned.
00:48:06Adventure 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.
00:48:18Well, 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.
00:48:51It's, uh...
00:48:51Ten years.
00:48:52It'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.
00:49:02Yeah.
00:49:02These are exquisite.
00:49:04Elise owns Inn & Apple Hill.
00:49:06Hannah and Charlie's place.
00:49:08Yeah.
00:49:08I'm the granddaughter.
00:49:09I took it over.
00:49:10How'd you get tangled up with this guy?
00:49:12Oh, 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.
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.
00:49:42Let's go find some pumpkins.
00:49:45You'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!
00:50:39Yeah.
00:50:40Hi.
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.
00:50:56Hey, 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
00:51:17the 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.
00:51:26I don't think you can have the Halloween party you wanna 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.
00:51:51Don'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 it.
00:51:59End of discussion.
00:52:03I'm gonna...
00:52:24What if we called it a, uh, I don't know, a 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.
00:53:00Maybe a little.
00:53:02Well...
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.
00:53:38When? Where?
00:53:40Uh, this morning.
00:53:42Social media and the, uh, Landover Tribune.
00:53:45Um...
00:53:48You...
00:53:49You need to cancel it.
00:53:51Well, see, I can't.
00:53:52Cause, 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.
00:54:41Hmm.
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.
00:54:49And 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 ends of electricity won't support all the decorations that I think we should be doing.
00:55:52So, 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, did you upgrade?
00:56:02No, I, uh, got a generator.
00:56:05We'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. 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 a reaction.
00:57:40I hope it didn't disappoint.
00:57:44No, I didn't.
00:57:48I 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.
00:58:10Well, you have left much 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.
00:58:41Um, I'm actually not sure how to tell you this, but here.
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.
00:58:53So I met with the sales rep and they agreed to give us a three-month trial.
00:58:58We already have reservations.
00:59:00Because I went live last week without telling you.
00:59:03But you can't be upset at me because I hand-wrote all reservations in your guest book so that you
00:59:07wouldn'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.
00:59:20We're fully booked for Halloween!
00:59:21Yes!
00:59:23Yeah!
00:59:23What?!
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, if I knew where she was, where is she?
01:00:17She went to Candace and Jared's tavern.
01:00:20Hey, Nora.
01:00:20Oh, we're Luke.
01:00:22What's going on, Chuck?
01:00:23Oh, Chuck volunteered to help us with the lights.
01:00:25That is great.
01:00:26That is great.
01:00:27Um, I just remembered I- I forgot something inside, so I'm gonna-
01:00:34Okay.
01:00:36Okay.
01:00:37How 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?
01:00:46That's nice.
01:00:46Yeah, from- from Elise.
01:00:47But it was great timing.
01:00:48My sister was in town and she loves apple pie.
01:00:54Chuck, would it be a crazy idea to think that maybe Nora might like you?
01:00:59Uh, me?
01:01:02Uh, no.
01:01:03Nora is, uh, she's way out of my league.
01:01:10Chords.
01:01:12Yeah.
01:01:13Thanks.
01:01:30All right, and we have the butternut squash gnocchi with arugula salad.
01:01:34Careful, plates are hot.
01:01:35And we have the fire roasted chicken with honey glazed carrots.
01:01:40Enjoy.
01:01:42Elise, what?
01:01:43Hi.
01:01:43Hey, you.
01:01:44Oh.
01:01:45Oh, so good to see you.
01:01:46You too.
01:01:47What can I do for you?
01:01:48Elise?
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.
01:01:54I just got a new listing.
01:01:56What?
01:01:56That's amazing.
01:01:57But it's not just any listing.
01:01:58It is Luke's childhood home.
01:02:00No.
01:02:01Oh, sorry.
01:02:02I totally took over this.
01:02:03No, no, no.
01:02:04What can we do for you?
01:02:05Uh, well, I came to ask you guys a favor.
01:02:09Sure.
01:02:10Anything.
01:02:10What do you mean?
01:02:11Well, Luke told you about the Halloween party at Apple Hill.
01:02:13Well, our oven has been on the fritz.
01:02:17And I was hoping that maybe we could prep some items here for the party.
01:02:21Or maybe we could do the food for the party.
01:02:26Yeah.
01:02:27That's so much.
01:02:28I couldn't let you.
01:02:29No.
01:02:29We want to support you.
01:02:30Yeah.
01:02:30And 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?
01:02:36I...
01:02:37We would never let you say no.
01:02:39It's true.
01:02:42In that case, I do have one more little question.
01:02:45Shoot.
01:02:46Go on.
01:02:48Oh, excuse me.
01:02:50You stealing my friends, Jacobs?
01:02:52Hi.
01:02:54And not a chance.
01:02:55They are Luke devotees.
01:03:01I came here to source an oven for Halloween.
01:03:04And I ended up securing a food vendor.
01:03:07I'm sorry.
01:03:07Was 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.
01:03:26Not 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.
01:03:36You'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.
01:03:48Keep them closed.
01:03:49This is ridiculous.
01:03:49I'm not 12.
01:03:55Open up.
01:03:59My childhood home?
01:04:00What?
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.
01:04:08You're welcome.
01:04:12Listen, I, uh, I should go ahead and tell you that we had a pretty big snag at work,
01:04:18and 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.
01:04:43You ever notice 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.
01:05:01That'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.
01:05:08Oh, yeah.
01:05:12Your childhood 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, you hear that?
01:05:28Hear what?
01:05:31Nothing.
01:05:35No sirens, no buses, no city traffic.
01:05:39This is nice.
01:05:41This is peaceful.
01:05:45Sounds 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, and then having special moments like this
01:06:02with 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.
01:06:40Okay.
01:06:41Okay.
01:06:47Okay.
01:06:48Okay.
01:06:49What?
01:06:51Come here.
01:06:53What is this?
01:06:55You'll see.
01:06:57Okay.
01:06:58Chuck!
01:06:59Now!
01:07:12Luke, 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, oh, Nora 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
01:07:33invite.
01:07:35That's amazing.
01:07:36So I guess we're ready to throw a party.
01:07:40Luke!
01:07:40Luke!
01:07:41There you are.
01:07:43Finally.
01:07:44Mom.
01:07:44Oh.
01:07:46Hi.
01:07:47Um.
01:07:47Hi.
01:07:48Oh, um, Mom.
01:07:49This is, uh, Elise.
01:07:51Elise.
01:07:52It's lovely to meet you.
01:07:53Hello.
01:07:54Now I understand why my son won't return my calls.
01:07:59Um.
01:08:00Oh.
01:08:02Oh, boy.
01:08:07When did Starfield counter with different terms?
01:08:10Last week, out 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.
01:08:22But I need you on this one, son.
01:08:27But you really don't.
01:08:30Watching you work, it's made me learn to trust that first intuition.
01:08:35Look at all your pros and cons and then act.
01:08:39Well.
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.
01:08:52Jared.
01:08:53Candace.
01:08:55Not to mention Elise.
01:09:09Is this a sister?
01:09:12What?
01:09:13A sister.
01:09:14Yes.
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.
01:09:28Um.
01:09:29So tonight is the night.
01:09:30I have all sales set to route 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.
01:09:41Um.
01:09:42I meant to ask you, how are you feeling about this being Luke's last night?
01:09:48I, I, I shame.
01:09:49Uh.
01:09:51No, I mean.
01:09:52I'm sorry.
01:09:53Obviously, I wish he could stay in Landover.
01:09:55You know, so that we could get to know each other better.
01:09:58Yeah.
01:09:59But we went into this knowing he was going to go back to the city, so.
01:10:03Wow.
01:10:04It's.
01:10:06Hi.
01:10:07I knew you guys were going to do a great job, but I mean, this is, this 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.
01:10:24And also, at the same time, promoting the inn.
01:10:29I was not.
01:10:30It's genius, though.
01:10:31And you're, yeah, 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?
01:10:44Ice 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.
01:10:53You want to try it?
01:10:53Yes, I do.
01:10:54Oh.
01:11:01Phenomenal.
01:11:02Phenomenal.
01:11:03Really?
01:11:0510 out of 10.
01:11:06No 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.
01:11:26It's my pleasure.
01:11:29All right.
01:11:31Happy Halloween!
01:11:32Oh, my goodness!
01:11:34Look at everyone!
01:11:36You all look so great!
01:11:39Awesome!
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.
01:11:55...some.
01:11:56It's growing on me.
01:11:59Keep forgetting it's back there.
01:12:08I'm ready to be free from these chains hanging on me.
01:12:15Used to have worries, now this stops.
01:12:19I wanna scream from the mountain top.
01:12:23I go back to our stream where we got our name in the holiday.
01:12:30I'm ready to be free from the tree.
01:12:32You feel pain, but now I need you.
01:12:36All right, all right, all right, all right.
01:12:39Ahhhh!
01:12:40Yeah!
01:12:43Boom!
01:12:45Hey.
01:12:47Well?
01:12:49What 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.
01:12:59Hey.
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.
01:13:21Take a look around.
01:13:24Because you did all this.
01:13:26I 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 end are at the heart of it.
01:13:36Take your moment.
01:13:46Hey, look at that.
01:13:50One of them out.
01:13:51One of them out.
01:13:52One of them out.
01:13:52What?
01:13:56Oh, we did that together.
01:13:58Well done.
01:13:59Well done.
01:14:02It's called for a little celebration.
01:14:06Because it's not a selfie wall until...
01:14:08We take a selfie.
01:14:17I'm just going to do one.
01:14:19Okay.
01:14:19Yeah.
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?
01:14:26No.
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.
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.
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.
01:15:18Yeah.
01:15:19Oh.
01:15:21And, uh...
01:15:22We'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 should feel better that attempting to do the impossible was actually impossible,
01:15:54right?
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.
01:16:17Just far enough.
01:16:22No.
01:16:28No.
01:16:29No.
01:16:29No.
01:16:31No.
01:16:32No.
01:16:33No.
01:16:33No.
01:16:33No.
01:16:35No.
01:16:40No.
01:16:41No.
01:16:44No.
01:16:46No.
01:16:48No.
01:16:48No.
01:16:50No.
01:16:52No.
01:16:55No.
01:16:55No.
01:16:55No.
01:17:04No.
01:17:06I was so inspired, I came straight back from Landover yesterday to prep.
01:17:11Well, when are we meeting with Starfield?
01:17:15Well, 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.
01:17:51But for right now, I got 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 if somehow I prevented you from going after
01:18:26what you want in life.
01:18:29I love you, kid.
01:18:32I love you, too.
01:19:01Elise, I'm sorry I'm late.
01:19:03Well, it's fine.
01:19:03I won't take long.
01:19:04You gave me the courtesy of a meeting, so I wanted to show up to the person and let you
01:19:08know that I was aiming for 15%, but even 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.
01:19:21Look.
01:19:22That is my son.
01:19:23That's his wife and their two daughters.
01:19:27Look at him.
01:19:28They called me after 10 just to tell me the amazing time that they had last night.
01:19:33You have created more excitement in one night for this town than any business in years.
01:19:44I don't understand.
01:19:45What 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.
01:20:06Be careful.
01:20:11Hey, come on in.
01:20:12Grab a spot anywhere you'd like.
01:20:14I'll be right with you.
01:20:16Man, I've been thinking.
01:20:17Hey, Luke.
01:20:18I thought you went home.
01:20:19And you know what happens when I start thinking.
01:20:21I don't know.
01:20:22I'll just get right to the point.
01:20:24Okay.
01:20:25Let's go into business 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'd 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.
01:21:00To 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, let's see.
01:21:14Here are the two.
01:21:15I'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 were the reason.
01:21:43Are you going 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, and open your heart
01:22:02to the one person you've been searching for all along.
01:22:09Hi.
01:22:11Is this for you?
01:22:12It's for you.
01:22:13It's for me.
01:22:16Hey.
01:22:18Do you like surprises?
01:22:20Wash your tongue.
01:22:21Okay.
01:22:25To 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.
01:22:45You got quarters?
01:22:46Two players?
01:22:48Let's go.
01:22:49Yeah.
01:22:52Lucky we're on the same team.
