Whoo!
Oh, I love the country.
Gabriela. Great workout.

"Win an Inn."
Hmm.
You could be the proud owner of this bucolic bed and breakfast...
So I said, "Well, hey, I'm not paying those taxes!"
Ah. Hey, guys.
Half-day? It's 10:30.
Diaz, didn't you check Slack?
There's a change of schedule, bumping your pitch to next week.
Chad, I've... I've had a triple-shot latte.
I'm amped.
I'm ready to blow minds with affordable, 100% solar-powered green housing.
Kyle had a killer one-liner, board's Skyping in to hear it.
His dad's one of our big investors...
...so my hands are tied.
But my finished pitch has the cost savings
- our investors... - Look, next week. I promise.
And, uh, stay amped, Diaz.
Loving the enthusiasm. Yeah?
Hey, Chad here.
Yeah, Chad and his buddies are like a free-range bachelor party.
Ugh.
Just keep at it, Gabz. You'll get your shot.
I'm starved. Can we get a menu?
I had my assistant preorder for us.
Oh. Okay. Thanks. Um...
What comfort carbs am I gonna bury my emotions in?
Mmm, that raw kale salad you love so much.
No bread, thank you.
Well, while I'm not getting to dazzle my boss
- with my big ideas... - Mmm.
I instead will dazzle you...
Yeah? With what?
A closet makeover.
Ooh. That's not where I thought this was going.
Listen, you never leave your stuff at my place.
Let's fix that.
Okay, check this out.
Okay.
- We lose the coat rack. - All right.
And put in recycled cedar shelves.
You know, natural moth-repellent for your wool suits.
Mm-hmm.
But see, once you start home renovations, love just goes poof!
It's gone!
Half of my divorce cases start with a remodel.
And besides, I got a deposition in LA on Saturday,
but how about...
a nice weekend away when I get back.
Hmm?
Napa?
One of those old inns you love?
Sounds lovely.
Mmm.
Ugh, I swear, sometimes Dean just gets me so angry.
I just don't know what to do with him.
I hear ya.
Please turn and transition into upward dog.
Deep, cleansing breaths.
I offered him a closet shelf.
I've seen deer in actual headlights look less panicked.
- Clear the mind and soul of all... - Ouch. That puts a dent in your chi.
...chatter.
Sorry.
Jump into a tree pose.
Nice jumping.
You want my advice?
Let me guess.
Compassion. Love.
- Deep thoughts from a yoga T-shirt. - No.
Ultimatum.
A rock or you walk.
It's how I got Mike to propose.
Descend into a seated position and prepare to silently...
take lotus.
She's mean.
See, I don't want to force things.
But what happened to shared goals and dreams?
Shared goals and dreams are a fantasy.
It's been two and a half years. Trust me, girl.
Ultimatum.
You know what?
If it's meant to be, the universe will show me.
We'll see.
Ugh, I thought yoga was supposed to be relaxing.
Well, it would be if you would stop talking.
- What? - Anyone called security yet?
I'm locked out of the building.
Well, maybe it takes a woman's touch.
That's weird.
Oh, it's all over Twitter.
enVirona-Tech's gone belly-up! Investors have bailed.
Including Kyle's dad.
- This is unbelievable! - I just got this job.
Hi. Uh, Paul, please?
Hey, Chad here.
Okay, well, that many applicants?
I-I did. I sent in my resume. Yes.
I'd have to move where?
Oh, Syria.
Yes. Spanish and English.
Oh, Turkish.
Wait, so why would I need to cut my hair?
I know I'm overqualified, but, eh, nobody needs to know.
You know what I mean?
Hello?
Okay. I know today sucked.
But the day is not over yet.
You've got a date with Dean, and you're gonna give him an ultimatum.
You're gonna turn this negative into a positive.
You got me, sister?
Maybe this is a sign. I need to strike out on my own.
Whoo, yes. There's your get-up-and-go spirit.
What can I do to help?
Well, I was thinking,
um, if we move in together, I can establish a home office,
go freelance, find my own investors...
...fund my own eco-friendly gray water recycling...
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Uh, just...
Back it up. Just rewind two seconds.
Move in together?
It's been two and a half years.
Yeah, baby, but it feels like yesterday still
because I'm so happy with the way things are.
Look, Gabz.
You know I love you.
But when I'm home, I need my own space
to decompress.
Can we just keep this as is?
I am such an idiot.
What?
If you can't commit to a closet shelf,
how can you commit to me?
I'm done.
Gabz. Come on.
What just happened?
Dean.
My phone.
New Zealand.
- New Zealand. - Oh.
Your dream life awaits you in New Zealand.
Imagine yourself as the owner of this idyllic, charming inn
located in New Zealand.
And the price?
Free.
Just a 400-word essay on why you deserve this lovely treasure.
Oh, wow.
Along with a small entrance fee.
And your dream life awaits you...
in New Zealand.
Last day to enter.
Mm. Mm.
"As a kid, I imagined my dream home.
You know, a fantasy mansion with a water slide
and in-home ice cream parlor."
Ooh, yeah, that's good.
"But those kind of dreams fade
as you get busy running on the corporate hamster wheel.
I'm ready for four walls and a roof where I call all the shots.
As the saying goes...
'Leap and the net will appear.'
Well, I'm leaping."
Mmm.
You've won an inn!
Bellbird Valley Farm.
Located in picturesque Beechwood Downs, New Zealand!
I'm officially the owner of an inn, which is adorable.
But it's not like I'm gonna, like, move to New Zealand.
I mean, that would be insane.
But... maybe the place runs itself.
Yeah. Then I can use the income and put it towards my projects back here.
Get my real life back on track.
Real life. Right.
Channeling rage into self-care
and trying to convince yourself everything's just fine.
Is everything okay with you and Mike?
Mike and I have couples therapy at 3:00,
which is when we pay a lot of money and get to yell at each other.
Here.
Take these.
Use my place as your own meditative retreat.
Oh, you're the best!
Thirteen-hour flight to Auckland and three bus rides.
Wish me luck.
I'll light a candle in meditation class for you.

Oh. Oh, no.
No, no. No, no, no, no. Nuh-uh.
Just give me one bar.
Come on. Come on.
Please?
One bar!
Ooh, yes!
Ah! No!
No! Oh! My shoes, my...
Oh, my clothes!
Oh, my face mask.
You got a license to have that out in the open road?
I'm so sorry.
- You ought to put a leash on that thing. - I will pay for any of the damages.
Uh...
Well, this did...
put a big dent in my ute.
Ha, ha.
No need to be inappropriate.
Ute. Utility vehicle.
Okay, Crocodile Dundee.
Yeah, that's another country.
Hey, are you lost?
Because Wellington, that's still a ways down the road.
Is this Beechwood Downs?
Yeah. That town's a kilometer away.
Okay. Well, then, I'm exactly where I need to be.
Why do you ask?
Oh, you're not the usual type we get around here.
We're more of a work boots type of town.
These are work boots.
Italian leather.
Oh, maybe so, but that Italian leather,
that won't last ten minutes out here in the wop-wops.
The what-whats?
The countryside.
If you'll excuse me, uh, me and my...
inappropriate footwear are gonna order a Lyft.
Well, I can give you a lift.
Uh, not that kind of lift.
Like, Lyft with a "Y."
Yeah, it's like a taxi.
Yeah. No, there's no taxi with a "Y" here, but I can still give you a lift.
Sorry.
I don't take rides from strangers.
Like Lyft drivers.
All right, bye!
- It was great meeting you. - Yeah...
Oh, hey, wait. You...
What?
You forgot this.
Thank you.
No worries. What man doesn't love swooping in and saving the day?
Ah...
The thing is, I don't need saving.
Thanks all the same.
Bye.
That was interesting.
Uh... Ooh!
Yes!
Oh!
Kia ora.
Just off the bus, eh?
It's that obvious?
Well, you've got the dazed look that comes after hours on a land waka.
Also, we only get one bus a day.
Well, I desperately need coffee.
Short black, long black, or flat white?
I have no idea what you're talking about, but it all sounds amazing.
In from America, eh?
What's going on with the Kardashians?
Ignore my husband, Peter. He's nosy.
Long way from home and dressed to the nines?
I bet there's an intriguing story to your arrival.
Now, now, Peter.
Here you go, love. What else can we get you?
Directions to Bellbird Valley Farm.
I'm the new owner.
Ooh, all right. Uh...
It's all right, love.
Take yourself to the end of the street, make two rights, then a left.
Um, what do I owe you?
Oh, on the house. Our treat.
Thank you for the coffee.
Hi.
Fix that.
Ah, my inn!
Yeah!
Okay.
It's lovely!
What the dumpster?
Seriously?
Come on.
Ugh!
Hello?
You look like you've seen a ghost.
Goat.
Gilbert. He's a wily fella. Thinks this place is his.
Though local legend has it a ghost does inhabit this inn.
What?
Charlotte Wadsworth.
Gabriela Diaz.
Oh.
Come in.
I heard the new Bellbird Valley Farm owner arrived,
an American, no less,
so I had to cut some welcome roses
and come and see for myself.
Thanks!
I am the proprietor of the Tea Rose House. It's the only B&B in town.
Isn't this also a B&B?
In theory, but, well, look around.
Yeah, never assume anything on the internet
matches its profile picture.
Those photos
were from when old Mabel Browning ran the inn.
She passed ages ago, and the place fell into disrepair.
It was her great-grandson that orchestrated the "Win an Inn" scam.
- Hmm. - Dumping this place
on some unsuspecting muppet.
Ooh, the kitchen.
Hey.
Do you know where I can find this great-grandson?
Denmark, last I heard. Good luck.
So, do you have heaps of experience running an historic inn?
Well, not a lot to currently run,
but I do love a good DIY project.
Well, when you finally realize, "DIY am I doing this?"...
Funny.
...give me a call.
I think I might be able to help you.
I'll see myself out.
Ta-ta, Gabriela.
Hey!
What the...
Okay.
Light for me.
No. No!

Sorry.
She's a right beaut.
Excuse me?
Yeah. Sweet as, I mean.
I can help you restore her to her original glory.
Thank you, but I have zero intention of restoring this relic.
Uh, it's not a relic.
Yes, it is.
And I'm replacing it with a contemporary functioning faucet.
May I?
- So, this is hand-finished brass. - Great.
- They don't make 'em like that anymore. - Mm-hmm.
Just a new washer and she's right as.
Why are you everywhere that I am?
Well, Beechwood Downs is a small town.
Maybe you're everywhere I am.
Oops.
- Clean-up, aisle three. - It's all right, Jo. I've got it.
- Thanks. Sorry. - Thank you.
You gotta go easy on these old drawers.
I know how to open a drawer... usually.
- I only meant... - What, that you know better than I do?
Whoa, relax. Just cool your jets.
Okay. Let me tell you something, buddy.
After losing both my boyfriend and my job in the span of a week,
I travel across the world to find out that I'm the new owner of a money pit.
- Okay. - I'm already at the end
of a really short rope,
so I will cool my jets when and where I choose. Okay?
Uh-huh.
Yep. Yeah, got it.
You relax on your own schedule.
I will.
Hey, cool your jets.
No. No, she did not.
Well, wait for this.
Annabelle caused a hell of a ruckus at last month's book club.
She brought along a raspberry jelly whip,
and as you might guess, that sent Sheila off.
She picks up her jelly whip and storms off. Oh.
Customer waiting.
Stay tuned.
Oh.
You got that?
Butterfingers.
Now, you must be the American that's fixing up Bellbird.
Name's Norman.
It's nice to meet you, Norm. If it's okay to call you Norm?
Just don't call me late for dinner.
That was funny.
Oh, trouble with the old tap?
Well, you know the old adage:
every great journey starts with a plumbing disaster.
- Ha! - Ooh.
Can you add this in?
It seems like this inn is more of a challenge than I expected.
Um, do you know anybody in town that does renovations?
Ah, well, as a matter of fact,
the best contractor on the North Island lives right here in town.
Name's Jake Taylor.
I love it. Can I have his phone number?
Hey, Jake. What's your phone number?
- Who's asking? - She is.
No, I didn't.
You just asked me for his phone number.
- Actually I did, but I... - Why do you want my number?
- I don't. - She's the new owner of Bellbird,
and she wants your number.
You know what? On second thought, I don't need a contractor, but thank you.
Keep the change. Bye.
What a strange girl.
She called me Norm.
Be there in a flash, dear!
Are you okay?
Oh, crap!
Oh, whoa, whoa. I've got it. Don't worry.
Thank you, Hana.
I appreciate that.
Here you go.
That wasn't so hard to find.
No, this one wasn't too bad.
Oh, Hana.
These are amazing.
Bellbird Valley Farm was quite the prize showcase in her day.
Nobody ran an inn quite like old Mabel Browning.
Until the tragedy, that is.
Tragedy?
No need to talk about such things.
- I need that. - Oh.
Thank you, Hana.
I brought you another flat white
and a slice for dessert.
A slice of?
Oh.
Heaven.
Peter's Ginger Crunch.
Mmm!
- Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm! - Oh, I like that sound.
Heaven confirmed.
Peter's fluent in pastry.
It's an international language of love.
- So, you're gonna fix up Bellbird, eh? - That's exciting!
I've been brainstorming.
Maybe, just maybe,
Bellbird Valley Farm is my chance
to make the zero-net energy green home I've always dreamed of!
Yes!
- Thank you, Alan. - Excuse me?
I applied for my entrepreneur visa.
- And... yes! - Yes!
This project will be crazy hard.
- And yes! - Yes!
I'm gonna max out all my credit cards.
But it's time to show the world what Gabriela Diaz
is truly capable of.
Yes!
- Yes! - And a good day to you, sir!
- Okay. - Ah...
I forgot my stuff.
Okay, Norm.
All right. So, I need a few rolls of hemp insulation,
and one case of, uh, sustainable bamboo floor tiles.
This'll have to be shipped from Australia.
It won't be cheap.
I'll give you a 90-day tab.
Ninety days?
Why?
That's how we do things around here.
Plus,
you gave me a nickname.
Norm.
I've never had a nickname before. Always wanted one.
Well, 90 days sounds incredibly impractical,
but also very much appreciated, Norm.
You'll pay me once Bellbird's up and running.
Frankly,
I'm curious to see how it all turns out.
Eh, yeah. Me too.
You fellas call me Norm from now on. Norm.
Norm!
Well, my plan was to be here for a week tops, but...
...renovating this inn could take about two or three months.
I didn't even get to see you before you left.
Because we're broken up.
Oh, that.
Why don't we say, for now,
that we're friends?
And we can talk more about it when I get back? How's that?
Um, awful.
Gabz, you know how much I...
Oh. Shoot, baby, this is Dominique, my facialist.
I gotta take this. I'll call you back, all right? Dominique!
Listen here, Mabel.
You are more than welcome to haunt this place, but...
you stay in your part of the house, I'll stay in mine. Deal?
I'll take that as a yes.
Oh.
Gabriela Diaz.
I was wondering when you'd pop by.
Ugh, it feels like everybody met the new Bellbird owner before me.
Sorry to keep you in suspense.
No, sorry, I'm Shelley. I'm the owner here at Shoots and Sprouts.
- Welcome. - Thank you.
So, did you really come all this way out to New Zealand by yourself?
Of course, no, I am sure you're a very strong, independent woman.
It's just, it gets really lonely out here in the countryside.
It's very rural.
It's incredibly... quiet.
Yes, it's... it's just me.
Well, me, an ornery goat, and the Bellbird ghost.
But fortunately, the ghost and I came to a truce.
I explained that I just went through a breakup and I need my space.
I'm in a long-term relationship with plants.
Well, then, I guess I'm dating an inn.
Modern romance can be so complicated, right?
So complicated.
Well, I thought I would start this relationship with something easy:
- gardening. - Ah, yes!
Fennel and spearmint, both tasty and attracts beneficial insects.
Oh, I like where you're going there.
Hey, so how about this? This is a kawakawa tree.
It's native to New Zealand.
It's sacred to the Maori, who use the leaves for medicine.
And the berries attract the kereru, which is our wild wood pigeon...
Ooh, I love it, I love it, I love it. I'll take two.
Ah! You hear that, boys?
- You've got a new home! - There you are!
Where's my special-order fertilizer?
Oh. It's you.
I heard you decided to stay on and do up the Bellbird yourself.
The local gossip chain is remarkably accurate.
I also heard you turned down Jake Taylor's offer to help.
Is everyone's business in this town everyone's business?
Got that right.
I want to hear all about your progress.
Tea, Sunday, at mine?
Sure. Sounds good. I'll see you there.
My name is Gabriela Diaz.
You killed my father.
Prepare to die.
Oh, Gilbert.
Oh, hi, Gilbert.
It's just a collar!
- ♪ Whoo! ♪ - ♪ Right now, get up ♪
All right.
Oh!
Come on!
Gilbert.
I am not loving that goat.
Hey, Norm. Here's another item to add to the list of things I need to pay for
but I can't afford to pay for.
Uh...
Oh, you again.
Well, well, well, if it isn't Little Miss Sunshine.
What, do you work here?
Not technically, no, but I do like to help out Norman when I can.
If that's for the Bellbird kitchen sink,
you might have better luck with a 5/8 flare wrench.
Just what I was missing, more mansplaining.
No, thank you.
- I'll keep my wrench. - Who needs a wrench?
- She does, for the Bellbird kitchen sink. - Well, not that wrench.
- She needs a 5/8 flare wrench. - I told her.
Gotta be a 5/8.
- See? Norman's been there. - Won't go there without a flare.
She doesn't listen. You're gonna waste your money.
- That's enough! - Yikes.
As much as I would love to join your comedy duo,
I have a date at the Tea Rose House. So, if you'll excuse me.
Thank you. Love you. Bye.
She is a little bit strange, that one.
Charlotte!
Oh!
I'm so sorry!
My roses! Back up!
My roses!
I got it.
Well, that was fun.
I'm so sorry about the tea rose bush. I'll replace it.
That particular hybrid won Best in Show. It's irreplaceable.
Make yourself at home.
Ooh. Creepy.
This place is like a giant antique dollhouse.
What a nice compliment.
Here, let me take that.
Mm-hmm.
Please take a seat.
I'll just pop Lady Millicent over with Mr. Pat.
Hmm. My guests love the tradition of a high tea.
Personally, I'm in the mood for something stronger.
Ooh, okay. Wine o'clock. That's my favorite hour.
Yep, regardless of any time zone.
- Do you need to get that? - Um...
Oh, let me see.
Oh, no, it's...
it's just a text my friend.
- Dean. - Dean.
What a lovely name.
My husband's a Navy Commander, currently deployed in Antarctica.
We text all the time.
The modern love letter, eh?
You must miss him.
Sometimes.
So, tell me how the renovations are coming along.
Oh, well, it's been a bumpy road.
- Oh. - Um...
Seems I can't fix a simple kitchen sink,
much less realize my dreams of an eco-friendly solar-powered inn.
In my experience, B&B guests come to get away from modernity.
They want a true old-fashioned escape.
I'll cut to the chase.
I have loved the Bellbird since I was a little girl.
Mabel Browning's great-grandson promised it to me.
- Oh. - Owning both the inns in town
has always been my dream.
My own mini-inn-pire.
And then he realized he could clean up with this...
"Win an Inn" scam,
and he robbed me of my dream.
Oh.
Now that you've experienced
the extensive and expensive work that the inn needs,
I'm sure you'll find my offer fair.
Clearly someone back home misses you.
Pocket the cash, be done with this little misadventure,
and go back to America and your real life.
Can I think about it?
Of course.
Cheers.
- I can't believe I murdered her roses. - Oh, look, accidents happen.
You know, Charlotte says they're irreplaceable,
- but, you know, I have to at least try. - Well, it's very good of you.
I'm just gonna sort out the delivery for these.
- One sec. - Yeah.
Hey, Shell, you're out of mulch.
Jake!
- Guess who's here? - Who?
Uh...
Gabriela.
She was right there, I swear.
- Uh, hang on. I'll be back in a sec. - Yeah.
Hey!
- Hello. - Uh, hey.
Who are you, uh, hiding from?
Uh...
I, uh...
was reading the sign.
Very informative.
Uh-huh. So, how's the old Bellbird?
Okay, what did you guys even gossip about before I got here?
You know what? I reckon we'd run out of topics.
Yeah, your arrival really livened things up in that department.
I'm glad to be of service to the community.
Jake, uh, your mulch is out the front.
Ah, thanks, Shell. All right, I'll see you around.
Happy reading.
Thank you.
I do believe that, uh, Beechwood Downs'
most eligible bachelor might be keen on you.
Yeah. Doubtful.
Every time I see him, I am a complete disaster.
That's why I'm trying to avoid him.
I've known Jake Taylor my whole life.
He is lovely.
If he's so desirable, then why is he still single, hm?
How come you're not dating him?
No, look. I mean, I had a crush on him when we were younger, we all did,
but, uh, Jake had a... a long-time girlfriend.
High school sweethearts.
She passed away three years ago.
Oh, wow, that's awful.
He hasn't taken a chance on love since then.
This little flirt over the fertilizer, though,
says that could all be changing.
Uh, me? No, I'm pretty sure...
Yoo-hoo.
Oh, hey, Corey. I'll, uh, just be with you in one sec.
No rush. I'd, uh, wait for you all day, Shelley.
Uh, sorry. I've got this...
- No, it's fine. It's fine. - Sorry.
Well, that's Doc Harrison. He's our town physician.
And top customer here.
He clearly likes you.
What? Corey?
No.
No, no, no. He just really loves plants. That's the only reason he comes in here
all the time when he... doesn't really have a section of land.
Yeah. Mm-hmm.
If he's too shy to ask, I say take the lead, girl.
No. I mean, I couldn't do that. I'd...
Wh...
- Hey. - Diaz.
- Uh, Chad? What... - Two words.
Chinese investors.
I'm starting my own firm.
You got a gig yet?
Uh, no. Actually, I'm in...
I have always dug your energy,
so I can make a job happen for you. Just stay put and stay tuned. Yeah?
- Chad... - I gotta go. Bye.
Did you just hang up...
Unbelievable.
- Hey. - Hey.
Come on in.
- Are you guys closed? - It's rugby night.
Uh, what's rugby night?
Yeah!
Alan rolled the TV over from the office.
Alan has an office?
Okay.
Look, I'll just order and get out of your way.
No, stay!
Take the night off. Enjoy the footie and we'll get you some wine.
There's no use in protesting. I learned early on that Peter always gets his way.
We're chocka, so mind sharing a table?
Sure. I don't mind.
Just can't keep away from me, can you?
You just keep dreaming, don't you?
Just pretend I'm not here. Like usual.
All right. We've got some specials.
The coconut curry mussels,
the kūmara gnocchi, the lamb chops, or...
you go for the works.
Oh, uh, you know, I should probably just have a salad.
Salad? Mm-mm.
Isn't a real dinner. Nope.
Fair enough. What are you getting?
Uh, everything you listed before sounds good to me.
So, what you're saying is "get the works"?
You lead the way, I'll follow.
Hmm. I like the way you approach a menu.
All right, let's do it. Get the works.
Thank you.
I've always been more of a city girl.
Actually, I went camping once for like a week, yeah.
And it rained, so we stayed in the car.
Come on, a little rain won't melt you.
And besides, New Zealand,
it has a way of winning over even the biggest nature-haters.
I am being won over, despite the deafening cicada symphony.
That's their mating love sound.
No wonder they're still single.
Yeah.
Hated everything, I see.
Ka pai to kai. That means "your food is good," right?
You just called my mother a prostitute.
- What? Oh, no, I didn't... - Kidding!
You're still sticking with that one?
- Yes. - The two of you.
Bless you.
- Are you coming down with something? - No. I'm good.
- Mmm. What is that? - It's all good. I've got it.
You can get it next time.
What makes you think there's gonna be a next time?
You keep following me all around town.
You keep telling yourself that.
But thank you.
You're welcome.
Ladies first.
What about you? Beechwood Downs your whole life?
Oh, I did an OE.
An overseas experience.
I lived in London for a year,
and then spent a few years at uni in Australia.
Ah, there's more to this provincial chippy than the lady suspected, huh?
Ah, no, I was... You know what? I'm gonna stop before I step in it.
But I missed the country.
Fresh air, open spaces.
- Listen, I was... - Oh.
- Bless you. - Mmm.
You sure you're not getting sick?
No.
I'm fine. I never get sick.
Can't believe I'm sick.
It's open.
I brought Dr. Corey on a house call.
Ding-dong.
Well, how'd you guys even know I was sick?
Peter and Manaaki told me you were coming down with something,
and then when you were a no-show at the farmer's market, I...
Why do you not have a hot cup of tea in your hand,
and why is that not on the stove?
Well, it turns out I can't fix a simple kitchen sink.
- I was about to fill it in the tub. - Okay.
I'm here to fix this.
Mmm.
And give me a nice big "aah."
Aah.
Ah, just as I suspected.
Ah, what do you suspect?
The common cold.
Your immune system is run down.
Bed-rest and fluids are the only cure, I'm afraid.
Mmm.
- Kia ora. - Manaaki.
Oh, love.
- Is it a cold? - Yeah, afraid so.
Drink this.
Okay.
Mmm.
Mmm! Mmm.
Oh, this... Wow.
Yeah, I called in a prescription for Peter's kūmara curry soup.
- Spice is the trick to knock out the cold. - Yeah, a little spicy.
- More. - Yeah.
G'day!
Mm, Jake.
Did you guys come in a clown car?
Kitchen sink's still munted, eh?
Who ever could have told you that?
And a little something for your tea.
Helps with a sore throat. From my bees.
- Your bees? - Bees.
- Like buzzing bees? - Uh, yeah, bees.
I'm gonna have a squiz at your kitchen sink.
Fever dream.
Oh, Jake, wait.
You guys...
I'm running low on cash.
Gabriela, love, no.
Yeah, I'm not here on a job. It's okay.
We're here because we're your mates.
As long as you're here, you’re whānau.
One of us.
And we look after our own.
Here.
Now, off to bed, young lady.
Come on.
He's so cute when he talks sternly.
Jake.
That was so good.
Tino pai.
Kia ora.
- I said it right, right? - Yeah, you did.
Okay, good.
- They're so cute. - Thank you.
Oh, Gabriela! Did you care to buy a raffle ticket?
Oh, uh, let me see.
Oh, do you have change for a twenty?
No, I don't,
but it's for a worthy cause, so there you go.
- Okay, thanks. - Anytime. Hey...
have you given any thought to my offer?
I spoke to my husband, and we could wire some money through.
Charlotte, I'm...
I'm gonna turn it down.
Come again?
I'm just not willing to give up on my dream.
At least not yet.
Can we still be friends?
Don't give it a moment's thought.
Oh! Sorry.
Is that a yes?
Let's go. Oh!
Come on, Tim! I've coached you for five seasons, man.
What do they teach you in that fancy university, huh?
Well, well, well, if it isn't the American.
You care to test your skills?
Just wanted to say thank you for helping fix my sink and my window, Jake.
Around here, I go by Chief Taylor.
You're a fireman?
A volunteer firefighter. Yeah, we all are.
Okay, Chief Taylor.
Um, I was hoping to talk to you about a proposition?
A proposition?
As you can see, I'm a little preoccupied at the moment,
but if you care to make a donation, I might be able to give you a minute.
If not, I might schedule you in next week. Maybe.
Next week? You're looking for trouble, aren't you?
Trouble from who?
A girl who can't work a clutch to save her...
- Whoa! - Oh, my God.
- Oh. That was pretty good. - Nice shot.
Where'd you learn to throw like that?
Well, I was the pitcher for my high school softball team.
Full of surprises.
Yeah, well, if you think that's a surprise, try this.
Mm-hmm.
How would you like to collaborate on the Bellbird?
Thank you.
Thanks.
What's made you change your mind?
I'm learning that there is a difference
between someone thinking I'm helpless
and someone genuinely offering me help.
- Go ahead. All right, say it. - What?
"Told you so."
Ah, yeah. No. I've...
I've learned the hard way that you don't like being told what to do.
Mmm.
And besides...
it'd start this partnership off on the wrong foot.
Wait, so...
So that means you'll do it?
Yeah.
So, how do we make this partnership work?
Well, what's your plan?
To stay?
Or go back to San Francisco when the Bellbird's back on her feet?
Well, I do have my real life to get back to.
Oh, your real life.
Okay, got it.
Okay, we'll do the work 50/50,
split the costs 50/50,
and split the profit 50/50 when we sell it.
Okay.
Sounds good to me, partner.
Partner.
You cannot get rid of this stove.
This is not Little House on the Prairie. We need a modern kitchen.
This is a work of art, princess. All right?
It's a Waterford Stanley wood burner from Ireland.
That's nearly 400 kgs of steel.
Four-hundred... Whatever. I don't do the metric system.
Listen, like your kitchen sink, just because something's munted...
- Mm-hmm. - ...it doesn't mean it can't be fixed.
You've gotta work with what you have here in New Zealand. Don't touch...
Brilliant.
You see? Broken.
Wow.
The fireplace is pure, original craftsmanship.
The woodwork alone, it tells a story.
Yeah, a story that says, "Replace me. I'm old and a fire hazard."
- It's time to drag Bellbird Valley... - Going swimmingly so far, I see.
I can't quite make out if they're meant to fall in love or kill each other.
Maybe both.
How exciting.
Solar panels?
That'll ruin the inn's original charm.
Drink this in.
Glorious sunshine.
Ah, yes.
I want to fuel the inn with the warmth and the power of the sun.
What's more soulful than that?
Ooh!
Sledge-hammering should be the new self-care.
It's pretty therapeutic. Good job.
- Wait, wait, wait! Stop! - What?
Look...
It looks like...
old letters.
Well, they're... love letters.
But what are they doing stuffed inside a wall?
Uh, old custom.
Concealing or burying items in the structure of the house.
So...
enlighten me.
Okay.
Well, it's called immurement.
So the ancient Egyptians would...
leave artifacts entombed in the pyramid walls with the pharaohs.
Some say it's superstition.
Some say it's good luck.
But I say it's a thread...
linking the past to the future.
A house...
A house remembers everyone who ever lived in it.
What?
You were gazing.
No, I wasn't.
Yeah, you were.
Wistfully.
I don't do wistfully.
Yes, you do.
Do you need a moment?
I can get you some tissues.
You're having fun with this, aren't you?
- Kinda. - Kinda.
Do you think it's snooping because we were looking at these letters?
Oh, okay. So now someone's getting a soft spot for dusty, old history, eh?
LEDs are 80% more energy efficient.
Sweet as.
- Oh, look at you, adopting the lingo, eh? - Yeah, I'm trying.
Also, wait. When we redo the sink and the counter...
Yeah?
...can we reinstall...
this? Ta-da!
What about your fancy, new faucet?
Oh, it'll take all of five minutes to swap it out for this beaut.
Man...
Wow, you really like your faucets, don't you?
Shelley, where's my fertilizer? I already checked out the back.
Charlotte.
It seems I'm sold out,
but I will rush-order you in some more.
Out? It's my special-order fertilizer. Who else buys it?
I have known you since kindergarten.
We're Beechwood Downs, born and raised.
Gabriela is an outsider, an interloper, and you just...
You give her my fertilizer?
It's brand-name poop, love. There's enough to go around.
Those two look very cozy. I thought she had a bloke back in the States.
Oh, Dean?
No, no, they're splitsville.
I mean, they're still in touch,
and, you know, she could be pining just a little bit,
but I don't think that's gonna...
What?
No, I know that look. Charlotte.
Don't go stirring up trouble.
- Me? - Yes.
Never.
It's starting to come together.
These tiles match perfectly.
They're manufactured from the same era.
I got 'em online at Trade Me.
Huh, look at you, embracing technology.
All right. There's hope for you yet.
Uh-oh.
Want to help a girl grout?
Because I cannot smooth this out.
No, you've gotta go... So, just go...
Yeah, this way.
- Oh. - Like that.
And then, just... that's it.
Out.
Yeah.
Like that.
You're right.
She's a beaut.
She sure is.
What's that?
My gray water recycler.
Yeah, it treats and reuses the dishwasher water
as drip irrigation for our new garden.
Ugh, that's disgusting.
Wouldn't you want clean water for your veggies? Come on.
Uh, that's the point.
The recycler cleans the water.
Uh-huh.
You're messing with me, aren't you?
Easy target.
Mm-hmm.
No, the gray water recycler...
I'm into it.
Good. Me too. It's not going anywhere.
Ah, it seems Gilbert's into it, too.
Gilbert!
Where are we going?
To my place. We need to get some tools.
Be there in another ten.
...in the hive by collecting a sample.
There are two methods...
What is this?
"Buzzworthy." Beekeeping news.
It's very informative.
So much information on there.
Okay, can I cha... I'm changing it.
Oh.
Oh, gosh.

- Hey! - Whoo!
Wow, that's a happening song, and I like it.
- It's my jam now. - It's your jam now?
- Yes! - Thought you didn't like it.
All righty.
Well...
This is it.
Wow.
This is great.
Yeah, my gran built it in the '60s.
You know, you remind me a bit of my gran.
- Really? - Mm-hmm.
Is it because of my pioneer woman spirit?
Because you're both impossible. Come on.
Home sweet home.
Cozy.
Taxidermy?
Is that a... stuffed possum,
or is there something I need to worry about, Jake?
My gran had one vendetta, possums.
And that fella right there ate all of her avocados, so...
Well, she trapped him, and she got her revenge.
Well, you definitely made this place a home.
Yeah.
I moved out here after Megan passed.
It's okay. I'm pretty confident someone in town spilled the beans.
Yeah.
Uh, Megan...
She didn't like the rural life. It was...
It was too far out for her.
So we'd been renting a place in town.
But after she died, I just...
came back.
Yeah, I was in the mood to be alone for a while.
I'm really sorry.
Yeah, me too.
I'm guessing the universe has its own plans for things, eh?
Yes, it does.
Anyway. Right. This is it.
- Let's do it. - Okay.
When you said solar panels, I kept imagining huge and ugly.
Well, the best thing about technology is it's ever-evolving. Mm-hmm.
These panels will help power the inn and they won't compromise curb appeal.
I've gotta admit, it's pretty cool.
Wait, what was that?
- What? - Was that you admitting defeat?
How is gracious acceptance considered defeat?
- Ooh, yeah. - Settle down.
All right, I'll give Norman a call up
so he and his boys can haul away this junk.
Ooh, FYI, he goes by Norm now.
- Yeah, of course he does. - Get it right.
Mm.
Ah!
Are you okay?
- Hey, you all right? - It was, um...
It was...
It was a snake.
A snake...
Y-You mean that snake?
Yeah, fun fact about New Zealand,
there are no snakes.
Yeah.
Thanks for breaking my fall.
Anytime.
- I'll go check on that railing. - Yeah.
I thought we were friends, mate.
Hey, hey! Ah, ah, ah!
No fly zone.
This is my area of total artistic expression.
Okay?
All right, go ahead.
- Go ahead. - Let your inner Picasso out.
Thank you.
You know what?
What do you reckon? Finished for the day?
I reckon we've earned a beer.
Yeah, me too.
Thank you.
Wow.
Hey.
- Here you go. - Cheers.
Cheers.
Ah.
So...
this...
- Your place. - Yeah.
What's with you and the, uh... the old houses, huh?
Is that like your thing?
Well, I always took to building since I was a little fella.
You know, creating something from nothing.
And after...
Megan was gone, and after I finished the reno at gran's place, I, uh...
I found I liked fixing broken things the most.
You know, the buildings others gave up on.
It's hard yakka, but...
Yeah, it makes me feel a little, uh, less...
A little less broken?
Yeah.
Something like that.
Go on.
I spilled my guts. It's your turn.
Okay.
Well, as I'm sure you've probably pieced together,
um...
things weren't so stellar back in San Francisco.
I had a low point, by which I mean...
days of me laying on my couch in pajamas,
drowning my sorrows in pralines and cream
and way too much wine.
I entered a "Win an Inn" contest.
And as you would say, it's been hard yakka.
Yeah.
No, seriously.
This place has really grown on me.
I'm gonna miss it.
You know what?
Clearly, New Zealand hasn't done her job convincing you to stay, but...
but we can fix that, so I'm declaring tomorrow a holiday.
Okay.
A day off.
What, you don't have those in America?
No, we do, it's just we don't really take them,
you know, with the whole career hamster wheel and all.
Right. Well, I'll pick you up early. Wear your togs, okay?
- Togs? - Yeah, your togs.
And get some real boots, not those fashion ones.
Ones you can tramp in.
So, is this like a date with Jake?
I'm not sure, but we're tramping.
Whatever that means.
But what about you?
How's everything with the doc?
Okay, so I took your advice, and I was about to ask him out,
but then he beat me to it.
Details.
Now.
He's taking me to this blues club that's a few towns over,
uh, tomorrow night.
Ooh, I've got a good feeling about this.
It's just so weird to think that this whole time
- he was right there under my nose. - That's why you didn't see it.
And that is exactly why we're going to stop talking about it
because I'm going to jinx it otherwise.
Now, I have signed up to be the chair of the Beechwood Downs Harvest Festival.
Please tell me that you will come and be on the committee with me.
Oh, right.
Right, of course. No, you'll be long gone by then.
Yeah, the inn will be done by then.
You know, it's funny.
The more I think about leaving, the more I want to stay.
Please! I would be so stoked if you stayed.
I mean, everybody would be.
I'll tell you who wouldn't be stoked. Charlotte.
- Eh. - Yeah.
I think I've crushed her dream of lording over a B&B empire.
Eh.
You know, she'd pack a sad, but that's Charlotte.
And then she'd get over it. They look great!
Oh, you need a hot, new pair of sunnies to go with this look.
Come with me.
Look, right here.
This looks so funny.
Yeah, but how good would these look?
These.
See? They have super cute ones.
Let's see.
Oh, gosh, I think I might need these.
These are kind of cute.
Oh.
- Oh, how about them? - I love those.
Yeah, you need those.
- I might need another option. - Wait. What about...
Yeah, okay sure.
I like it.
What about both, then?
- Okay. - Yes.
Yes.
- Those are so cute. - Cute.
They're amazing!
- Huh? - Seriously?
Be careful, a shark!
- The water's like an inch... - Don't do that!
How would there be a shark in there? The water's an inch deep.
- I don't know. You just scared me. - How did you fall for that?
So, how is this all in the same place?
'Cause it's New Zealand.
And...
open.
Look at that.

Since your one and only camping trip was a wash,
I figured we'd rough it with a picnic.
Let me show you what's in this chilly bin.
Wait, chilly bin?
You know, sometimes I think you make up these adorable New Zealand terms
just to tease me.
It's all real. You ready for this?
Go for it.
Vegemite sammie.
- Oh, yummy. - Look how good that looks.
Anzac biscuits.
Unbelievable.
Uh... L&P soda.
Okay.
- And last but not least... - Show me.
Hokey-Pokey ice cream.
- Ooh. - Uh-huh.
All right, let's just cut to the chase and get to the good stuff.
All right, I like the way you approach a picnic.
All right. Oh, I also brought something.
Love letters.
I thought you were worried about snooping.
I may face punishment from Mabel Browning's ghost,
but I feel like it's a risk worth taking.
Okay.
Let's take it together.
"September 12, 1916.
My unit has been deployed to the front lines.
The men's spirits remain high.
I vow to make you proud, my bright Firefly.
To fight with honor and to keep you with me in my heart...
to give me the courage to do what's needed.
Love, Lion."
"May 1st, 1917.
My brave Lion,
my mother has again pressed me to accept Reverend Williams' proposal,
but I do not love him.
I will never waver in my promise to stay true to you.
Love and prayers, your Firefly."
"October 20, 1917.
An eternity has passed in the trenches with no relief in sight.
I treasure your letters
and carry them next to my heart.
In my darkest hours, the only light that shines
is the memory of your face.
Yours forever, Lion."
"December 4th, 1918.
Brave Lion,
it's been months since your last letter.
I contacted officials in the New Zealand Expeditionary Force,
but there is no news of survivors.
I pray morning, noon, and night that you are safe,
that I remain a beacon of light guiding you in the darkness.
Come home to me. Love and prayers, your Firefly."
- Wait, where's the next one? - That's it.
This can't be the last letter. Jake...
Did he... Did he get back from the war?
Did she kick Reverend Williams to the curb?
How did these even get in the wall?
They don't use their proper names.
The address is the inn.
The Brownings owned that farm for decades.
We could pull up historical records, but...
the letters could just be a guest's.
I'd rather not know.
I'd like to imagine a fairy-tale ending.
World War I...
it was pretty chaotic toward the end.
He definitely could have made it home.
Thanks for playing along.
Anytime.
You know, working on the inn...
- with you... - Mm-hmm.
it's made me really happy.
It's, uh...
It's made me happy, too.
It's the happiest I've been in a long time.
Wasn't expecting that.
You sure?
Hm?
Let's go swimming.
- Right now? - Yeah.
After...

Uh... I have to take this. Sorry.
- Hey, Chad. - Diaz, guess what?
You secured the Chinese funding.
You're supposed to say, "What?" and then I tell you that. Yes.
You know that, um, gray water recycling stuff you love?
Well, my Chinese investors love it, too.
Now's your shot to put it in action!
Huh?
And I can offer you EVP. Full benefits.
Starts in two weeks. What do you say?
Wow, really?
Chad, I'm in New Zealand. I'm rehabbing an old country inn here.
Okay, uh, well,
finish up your Habitat for Hobbits and get on a plane.
Chad, I need to think about it.
Okay. You got 72 hours, Diaz,
and then I'll take it as a pass and I'll offer this job to Kyle.
What?
Why would you want to work for a jerk like that?
Yeah, he's a jerk, but I mean,
he's a jerk offering me an awesome opportunity.
Right, so...
That's it?
Back to America, back to...
the hamster wheel, working for some soulless corporation.
Remember, I came on a temporary visa. I wasn't planning on staying.
Our deal was a 50/50 split. We flip the inn, and then we sell it.
I thought you'd discovered something here in New Zealand, you know?
Maybe something about yourself. Something...
But it's all about the bottom line with you, huh?
And that's soulless.
Look, you're calling me soulless,
when you're the one who's put up a wall between you and the world
so that you don't have to care about anything or anyone?
You know what I care about?
Finishing this inn.

The fennel and mint, freshly cut from the Bellbird Valley Farm garden.
- Well done. - Thank you.
Great job, darling.
Oh, thanks a lot. Thank you.
Hey, Gabriela.
- Norm. - Great job, mate.
You are the man. Thank you.
You wouldn't happen to have a TV to watch the game, would you?
- Sorry. - I see.
I'll be back.
Oh!
Honey, congratulations!
- This is amazing. - Thank you.
Shelley can't stop talking about how you've turned this place around.
I can't stop talking, period.
- One of your loveliest traits. - Oh!
Okay. So, how's it really going?
Well, smiling on the outside.
- Hmm. - Yeah.
He's over there.
Give me a sec.
Good luck.
Cheers, mate.
- Hi. - Hey.
Big day today.
Yeah.
- So, I've been meaning to ask. - Hmm?
Whatever happened to those love letters?
I put 'em back inside the wall.
Like a talisman to watch over the house.
I like that.
We created something special here, eh?
Yes, we did.
- Look, Jake, I really want to talk... - Gabz!
Dean?
Surprise, babe.
Wow.
I've really missed you.
What are you doing here?
What do you think I'm doing here? I'm here to support you.
And this amazing renovation you pulled off.
- Ah, and this must be the contractor. - Contractor?
Contractor?
Yeah, he definitely looks like a contractor.
No, um, um, uh...
Jake, this is Dean.
Yeah, nice to meet you.
Ah, g'day, mate.
He's not the contractor. He's my business partner.
Hmm, right.
Yep.
We went 50/50 on the renovations.
All right. So you're like a regular Chip and Joanna Gaines, huh?
Do I hear another American accent?
Are the Yanks invading?
I'm Charlotte Wadsworth.
- You must be Gabriela's boyfriend! - Boyfriend?
Dean Conner. I just flew in from San Francisco.
That is too cute for words.
Coming to take our little...
Gabby-Gab home.
We're gonna miss her!
Well, I'm sure you two must need to get reacquainted.
Jake can take me on a tour of the inn.
I might not be able to afford top dollar, but I'm sure we can work something out.
Well, you might actually have some competition.
- Sorry? - Huh?
I come bearing gifts.
Olive!
- I arranged for a buyer. - You what?
What was that?
A partner in my law firm does real estate deals all over the world.
He made an introductory phone call, and voilà.
- Brilliant. - Olive Flyger.
Representing Melbourne Land Holdings.
Melbourne? An Aussie?
Olive, this is Gabriela Diaz, who I've been telling you all about,
- and her contractor, Jack. - Jake.
Jake. Melbourne Land Holdings owns dozens of B&Bs all over Australia.
We're looking to expand into New Zealand.
B&Bs can't be corporate.
Let's get this show on the road, shall we?
- Yes. - Yeah, good idea.
Oh, this is a nightmare!
Jake.
Jake, I had no idea Dean was coming here.
Not my business...
partner.
Welcome to the new and improved Bellbird Valley Farm.
A zero-net energy, solar powered B&B.
All due to Gabriela's solar flower.
It rotates, uh, collecting the sun's energy all day long. Um...
Just watch.
- Ugh, God. - Ooh, flower?
Ooh.
The inn's electrical is all run through this same tablet.
Everything from the lights to the air conditioner,
to the automatic door locks can all be controlled right here.
- Can even sync it to your mobile phones. - Yes, yes, the modern touch. Bravo.
Let's get inside already.
Just a precaution to keep out unwanted possums and the like.
- It's perfect. - Hm.
It's even more perfect inside.
Please join me.
Excuse me.
Pardon me.
Welcome to our kitchen.
The refrigerator-freezer is an energy-efficient top-bottom model.
And the dishwasher only uses 15 liters of water per cycle
instead of the standard 50.
Impressive.
It's not as impressive as Gabriela's gray water recycler.
It reuses the dish water to irrigate the garden,
and sometimes it waters Gilbert.
Who's Gilbert?
Our goat.
Hilarious. Hey, baby,
is that an ice cream maker I see over there?
Yes, an eco-friendly model.
Childhood dream home detail. Check.
I love ice cream.
Fascinating! We all love ice cream!
The real test of a bed and breakfast are the guest rooms.
Hmm.
- To the guest rooms. - Yep.
And this is our premier guest bedroom.
Eco-friendly, non-toxic paint.
It turns out you can actually eat it.
But don't.
What, no TV?
The house does have high-speed internet.
And we'll provide iPads upon request for streaming.
Besides,
who needs a TV with that view?
Yeah, but I'm sure you could add a TV later if you wanted.
Well, you could.
Living room!
The inn's original fireplace. Handcrafted wood and vintage tiles.
I wanted to replace this fireplace with a modern gas one,
but Jake convinced me to fix up this beauty and restore it.
Jake taught me that just because something's broken,
you don't throw it away.
I've learned that the kiwi way of life
is about fixing up what's not working
and treasuring what's worth saving.
And I credit Gabriela for restoring this old inn's soul.
Sounds like it was a labor of love.
Well, this inn definitely tells a story.
I think it is just brilliant.
I am authorized to make an offer right here on the spot.
I can meet you tomorrow at the bank with all the official papers. But...
How does this...
look to you?
- Well, shoot, let's break out the bubbly. - Wait.
Jake and I need to discuss something.
Discuss what?
So, what do you think?
Well...
You always said the deal was to flip and sell the inn.
Should we take the offer?
Yo. Uh...
- The suspense is killing us. - Dean.
- Come on, this is a no-brainer. - We have a deal.
Yes! Oh!
Yes!
Congratulations.
Baby, congratulations!
Mmm!
Jake.
Jake, where are you going?
We sold the inn. I'm finished here.
Come on, mate.
Cut the crap with me.
I don't know why you're letting her go.
It seems like that's what she wants.
Does it?
'Cause it seems to me...
you haven't told her how you actually feel.
You're right.
- What's this? Do you have it, too? - It's the Tea Rose House.
- Let's go, boys. - Let's go.
Get in the truck!
- Where's Charlotte? - Inside.
Peter, what's going on?
All right, unit.
Right, set up your hoses.
Chief.
- Is there anything to report? - Chief!
- Are all persons accounted for? - All but one, Chief. I can't find him.
It's Mr. Patton.
Take over.
Hello! Is anyone up there?
The other way, guys! The other way! Car coming through! Car coming through!
No!
- Oh! - It's not safe!
- I have to go in! - Charlotte, it's not... Charlotte!
- Keep running it, mate! - Oh!
Charlotte!
- Charlotte! - Oh!
Charlotte!
These were my mum's!
We've gotta go. I'm sorry.
Yeah, let's get any, uh, additional...
Take her. Take her.
- Chief Taylor, do you copy? - Where's Jake?
Jake, come in.
Jake, do you copy?
Look.
Well, I'm just glad everyone's safe.
Did you call Jake?
No, we haven't talked.
We're supposed to meet with Olive at the bank this afternoon.
Let me know how it all goes.
Yeah.
Thank you for everything, Shelley.
You've got this. And just pop by if you need anything.
Mmm. Morning, rich girl.
- Mmm. - Mmm!
Nothing like an inn to sleep like a log, huh?
Yes, okay.
Well, as Bellbird's first guest,
- I'm glad you had a good lie-in. - Mmm.
But I'm afraid you're gonna have to check out.
- Check out? - Permanently.
I appreciate you...
trying to help.
But these last few months in New Zealand, I realized...
we both want different things.
I think that you're a great person,
but you're just not my person.
I'm not yours.
I wish you luck, Gabz.
Thank you.
Although, I don't think I need it.
I got this... on my own.
Yeah, you do.
Melbourne Land Holdings is ready to close the deal.
We've prepared all the paperwork. Have you brought the deed?
Yes, I have the deed.
Gabriela, you and Jake will both have to sign it.
You two sure you wanna go through with this?
- You can't go in there. - I don't care. I'm going in!
- Wait! - Oh, great. She's back.
You can't sell the Bellbird to her.
This is all my fault.
I'm the one who...
took your phone and texted Dean...
pretending to be you.
What?
And brought Melbourne Land Holdings into our lives.
Gabriela...
inns are about home and...
community and...
connecting with guests on a personal level.
I could use the fire insurance money
and buy the Bellbird and fix up the Tea Rose House later.
You don't have to do that.
This isn't about me winning... your inn.
It's about not giving up on what you love.
It's all about love.
I'm not selling Bellbird Valley Farm.
What?
To anyone.
Look, I've been ignoring all the signs that I should stay here.
And... after yesterday's fire, it was...
it was like the universe shook me by my shoulders.
My real life...
isn't in San Francisco.
It's here.
With Gilbert,
and the cafe,
and... and waking up every morning in a house...
that is my dream home.
That was beautiful.
I knew New Zealand would be a waste of time.
You're one of us now. The Bellbird's in safe hands. Oh!
- Thank you. - Oh, hugging.
I'm not very good with hugging.
Ah...
Oh, Jake.
We are partnered 50/50 on the inn.
You want to tell me your terms?
I'll let you know.
I can't believe you're finally the owner of the Bellbird!
- Crazy. - Yeah.
And I'm sure that Jake will come around.
Everything happens for a reason.
And you know that I'm here for you, okay?
We'll talk soon.
Hi.
Are you mad about earlier?
Oh, yeah. You mean the part where you turned down a massive pay day
for the two of us...
and then asked my terms?
I did do that, didn't I?
It's no worries.
Hey, I, uh...
I wanted to show you something Hana dug up in the council offices.
They have a record of marriages going back over a hundred years.
This is them.
Hazel "Firefly" McGibbons and...
Thomas "Lion" Leonard.
Married July 28, 1919.
They got their fairy-tale ending.
And...
You wrote me a letter?
Seems to be what you do when you want to make history.
"Dear Gabriela,
as promised, I have thought about my terms for the inn.
They are as follows:
there will always be ice cream in a picnic-ready chilly bin,
a stuffed possum guarding the fireplace,
and a rascally goat who has the run of the farm.
Bellbird is your dream home, and it turns out it's mine, too.
I'm thinking the tradition of letter writing
is something we can keep up...
when we are running the inn...
together.
With all my heart, Jake."
I'm hoping that this is a love letter and...
and not a... not a business agreement.
It's definitely a love letter.
Then I guess I might get my fairy-tale ending, too.
We'll get back to him later.
Finally, we agree on something.
Yeah.
