[man on radio]Good morning, listeners. Bad news
for those of you heading into the city.
Traffic is backed up from the uptown ramp
all the way eastbound to the 170.
Downtown, we have closures
from Milton Avenue to Angel Pass.
[instrumental music]
Hi. Hey.
Welcome back, boss.
I wish I could sayit was nice to be back, but...
I swear I just left Heaven.
I take it your trip to CinqueTerre went well?
Are you kidding me? By far,the best place in Italy.
The views, the water,the hiking.
Not to mentionthe food and the wine.
I already havemy first paragraph
and my hookfor my story:
"Italy, a love letter
from alpha to olive oil."
I can't waitto read all about it.
Miss Taylor, they want youfor an editorial meeting.
They must knowwhere your next assignment is.
I'm guessing Goa.No wait, Bora Bora.
I hear those beaches areto die for. [gasping]
I did ask for the Maldives.
I hear there's some reallycool things happening in Austin.
Austin?
-Texas?-Yeah.
My cousin went there a fewmonths back for a music
festival.She said it was super cool.
-No.-No.
Katie Taylor does not travelfor just "super cool ."
The magazine only sends her
to the most fabulousdestinations on the planet.
Have you not read her pieceon Madagascar?
Of course, she's read my piece.Everyone's read my piece.
It was number one storyfor the season.
You two keep guessing,I'm late for my meeting.
Oh. And I've been to Austin,bigger is not always better.
That's true.
[instrumental music]
[indistinct chatter]
I'm telling you, this issueis gonna sell out.
There she is, our superstar!
Katie, I've read youropening paragraph.
-Really great hook!-Thank you.
I had a great time, and I thinkit shows in the work.
It does.
So, I guess you're wondering
where we're sending you next.
Always my favorite partof the job.
Don't leave me in anticipation.Where are you sending me?
Greenville!
Is there a Greenvillein Bora Bora?
-No.-In Goa?
Not that I'm aware of.
Oh, please tell methat there is a town called
Greenville in the Maldives.
If there is, I'm unaware of it.
We're talking about Greenville,
the small townthat you grew up in!
There's a harvest festivalthat happens
around this time every year.
I am familiarwith the Harvest Festival.
Cool! Yeah, we thought
it would be greatto get a real hometown look
at the food, the people,the celebrations.
And who better to send
than our very own Katie Taylorwho grew up there?
Absolutely anybodyother than me?
That was a rhetorical question.
This is the kindof personal touch
that our readershiphas been yearning for.
I don't know if my readersare really expecting that of me,
but I hear there aregreat things in Austin.
-Texas?-"Bigger the better."
-I always say.-Hmm.
I'll agree your readers won'texpect that from you,
and that's the beauty of it.
-But I---Katie.
We're sending you back home.
You're gonna brush offthe big city, get reacquainted
with your hometown roots.
-It'll be fun!-Hmm.
Okay, just think of itas a fish out of water story.
Oh, boy!
Okay, Avi, if that'swhat the magazine feels
is the right thing, then I ama team player, and I will go.
-Go, team!-Yeah.
Oh! Can you just rememberone thing?
Fish need water to live.
[instrumental music]
You know, Greenville doesn'tlook all that bad.
It's kind of quaint.
Quaint is just another wordfor "nothing"
of any importanceever happens there.
Well, then,this harvest festival
seems like a big deal there.
[Katie] It's a small townin the middle of nowhere,
everything's a big deal.
They give participation ribbonsto pigs.
[sighing] I hope you can find mea decent hotel.
I remember, growing up,hotels were an issue.
It can't all be negative.
At least, you can visitwith your family.
What's left of it.
You must have some friendsyou kept in touch with.
Are you kidding me?I left there so fast...
I left two flaming trailsand three sonic booms.
Oh, they probably all hate me.
Girl, I don't think a whole towncould hate you.
People in small townshave a lot of time
on their hands to hold grudges.
Well, it's your chanceto reconnect.
Maybe. [sighing]
My sister lives there.
I haven't seen herin a long time.
See? Family.
Yeah, it would be niceto see her again.
I haven't talked to herin a really long time.
What happened?
She called, and I told herI would call her back
when I wasn't busy.
-And?-And I never called her back.
-Katie!-But I am still busy.
Well, I thinkthis is gonna be good for you.
Good for both of you.
Maybe. [sighs]
Okay, what exactly isthe article gonna be about?
Small town harvest festival,
community, family,blah, blah.
Okay, that sounds... fun.
-Hmph!-You'll figure it out.
Ugh!
[instrumental music]
Well, if the train stationis any indication,
Greenville hasn'tchanged one bit.
[Willa]I'm sure it's not that bad.
Remember, you have friendsand memories there.
Friends? One friend who happensto be my sister.
She's family, friend by default.
Think of the memories.
Can you just text memy reservation to my hotel?
About that...
What about that?
Willa, tell meI have a reservation.
The Harvest Festival,small town,
no room.
Where am I supposed to stay?
I got your sister's numberfrom your contacts.
Oh no, I am not callingmy sister to impose.
You don't have to,I've already called
and everything is set upand taken care of.
Uh, you did not call my sister.
You're welcome.
Your driver should bethere in five, four, three...
They have that here?
[Willa on phone]See? It's not that bad.
[honking]
Oh, not that bad.
Maybe I'll use thatas the title of my article.
Just try and have some fun.
[Katie]Yeah, well, if you don't hear from me
in the next 24 hours, just assume
I've died of boredom.
If that's the case,can I have your wardrobe?
No. Taking it with me.
[Frank] Little Katie Taylor!
I haven't seen you in years!
Mr. Shannon, you're my ride?
Call me Frank, please.
You have a careerand pay taxes
uh, you can dropthe "Mister" nonsense.
And yeah, I've retired.
I had to do somethingor I would have died of boredom.
-Right?-What?
Uh, nothing. It's really niceto see you, Mr... Frank.
You too, Katie.
-It's been a long time.-Yeah.
Your sister's gonna be veryhappy to see you.
Yeah.
[instrumental music]
[man on radio]A big heads-up, traveling northbound
on Hill Road between I-7 and the Interstate,
a couple of Mr. Colton's cows
have escaped their pen-mooo!
And are proving to be a little bit of a nuisance
as neighbors try to mooove them back in.
Also, a reminder, the Harvest Festival
just around the corner.
Tickets still available and as always,
there will be dancing, food
and fun for the whole family.
[instrumental music]
Brings back a lot of memories,doesn't it?
Sure does.
Wow!
It's been forever.
[instrumental music]
Oh, you didn't have to do that.I could have grabbed my own bag.
Don't give ita second thought.
Chivalry isn't dead yet.
It may be on life support,
but it's still kicking.
Thank you, Frank.
[instrumental music]
[engine cranking]
[instrumental music]
[honking]
You know, if you missedthis place so much,
you could visitmore often.
Look at you all dressed up.
Gotta dress to impress.
And you look... great.
I mean, purple, uh, purple'salways been your color.
It brings outyour... skin tone.
Oh, please,just happy I'm not covered
in kid vomit at the moment.
But those shoes are fabulous.
Completely impractical,but fabulous.
They're actuallyquite comfortable.
I'll buy you a pairfor Christmas.
Don't you dare wasteyour money.
Unless you think they would lookreally good with my scrubs
and stained sweatpants?
Hmm.
It's so great to see you.
You too. Well, come on inside.
Michael won't be herefor a bit, but Maggie
can't wait to see you.
Yes. Oh! Oh!
-Oh!-Come on.
[instrumental music]
[sighing]
Make yourself at home.
I'll go and try to find
the little monster.
[instrumental music]
-Aunt Katie!-Hey, kiddo!
-I'm a princess.-Oh, I can see.
And what a beautifulprincess you are.
You're like the most beautifulprincess in all of the land.
Are you a dragon?
Aaah... roarrr!
You needto protect me, dragon.
-Oh no.-What?
It's just a littleprincess-dragon bonding time.
Yeah, it's just that Maggiewas painting
and hasn't washed her hands yet.
-Oh!-Apologize to Aunt Katie.
I'm sorry.
It's okay. I have a great drycleaner in the city.
Don't be silly,I can clean it here.
I am a pro at getting paint
out of clothing.It's all part of having kids!
-We'll play later?-Okay.
-Roarrrr!-Dragon.
-[chuckling]-Come on, sweetheart.
[sighing]
[crickets chirping]
[people laughing]
There's no way that's true.
Well, I am all out of wine,so that means
I'm done for the night.
-Oh, have another.-Oh no, I'm good.
I'm gonna go tuck PrincessMaggie into her sleeping bag.
I'll give you twosome time to catch up.
-Goodnight.-Night.
He is a good man.
Yeah. I lucked out.
So...
-Best beaches?-Um, okay.
Ummm... Seychelles.
Best food?
Oh, that's a tough one,
but it's very hardto beat Italy.
Hmm... Best placefor honeymoon?
Okay, if I was everin a position where a honeymoon
was a possibility,I'd go Bora Bora.
You mean to tell methat in all those travels,
you haven't foundMr. Tall, dark and handsome?
I am never anywherelong enough to meet someone,
and I'm never home long enoughto keep anybody, so...
Well, at least,you made it out of this town
doing what you love.
Thank you, but...
it's not exactly the kind ofreporting I thought I'd be doing
when I got into journalism.I mean, look at you.
You're a nurse,you help people.
That is a meaningful life.
It's not likeI dreamed of this.
When mom got sick,I took care of her,
and, well, it kind ofjust stuck, I guess.
Yeah.
That can't have been easy
taking care of mom.
Wasn't, but I don't regret
the time I spent with her.
I should have beenhere to help you.
Mom would have neverwanted that for you.
You went outand made something of yourself.
She was so proud of you.
I'm gonna go to bed,but talk more tomorrow?
I'd like that.
Oh, I totally forgot.
There's a party tomorrow night
to kick offthe Harvest Festival.
-You should come.-Absolutely not.
-No, I am not.-Come on.
There's gonna be a tonof people from school there.
Yeah, that's whatI'm afraid of.
I am hoping to keepthis trip on the down low.
[laughs] Katie,this is a small town,
everyone already knowsyou're here.
Everyone?
Oh yeah, everyone.
So, how wasyour first night home?
Uneventful as expected.
Although I don't knowif it's gonna stay that way.
What do you mean?
Well, Paige said that everyoneknows I'm here.
[Willa]So?█-So, everyone meaning Chad.
Chad meaning the reasonwhy I left Greenville
in the first place.I knew this was a bad idea.
[Willa on phone]You're probably worrying about nothing.
Focus on work.
Your first meeting's
with Mr. and Mrs. Carlisle,
and they're expecting youin ten minutes.
[Katie on phone]I'll be there.
Seriously, Willa,
what if I bump into him?I mean... [gasping]
Oh, my...
-Are you alright?-I gotta go, Willa.
I just spilled coffeeall over myself,
no, I am not alright.
Well, I can get you anothercup of coffee if you want one.
It's not the coffeeI'm worried about,
it's the $300 blousethat it spilled onto
that I'm worried about.
You paid $300 for that?
-Uh! Yes.-For a shirt?
It's a Joanna Jorn.
Congratulations.
Handmade in Scandinavia...
Are you evengonna apologize?
Well, technically,you ran into me.
What? You're trying to get offon a technicality?
Oh, yeah, I mean,I was just standing here
and you bumped into me.
-I don't have time for this.-You were walking and talking.
Watch where you're walking.
"Joanna Jorn."
And here we are30 years later
still runningthe restaurant,
still... madly in love.
-Katie, sweetheart.-Oh, yeah,
Thirty years, wow!That's a long time.
You know, a little club sodawill get that stain out.
-I'll go get you some.-Really? Thank you.
Uhhh... spill somethingon yourself?
No, actually.
I was talking on the phoneand waling on the street,
and I turned aroundand out of the blue,
some guy bumps into me.
Not only did he not apologize,
as I was walking away,he yelled,
"Watch where you're walking!"
Um, sounds like you bumpedinto him, dear.
Sounds like an accident.
Thank you.
So, 30 years
running the same restaurant,still in love.
Ah, madly in love. [chuckling]
We wouldn't have wanted itany other way.
I remember coming in herewith my family all the time.
You hadyour 10th birthday here.
You remember that?
Oh, she remembers everything.
And we've been lucky enoughto watch the people
in this town grow up.
We've catered everythingfrom baby showers to funerals.
And everything in-between.
Wow, it's a lot.
Your article isabout small town, right?
Yeah, it's aboutcoming home,
a simpler way of life,
hometown festival,hometown food.
That's just it,those big city restaurants,
they're all aboutgetting customers in and out
as fast as possible.Everybody's always in a rush.
The hustle and bustle.
[Mr. Carlisle] Just so someonecan eat a meal
as quickly as they canall while texting on their phone
and sometimes takinga picture of it.
Why? So they can rememberwhat they ate?
Okay, I have been guiltyof doing that once or twice.
Aaah...
But don't you guys ever wish,I don't know,
you had a chanceto see the world?
We've seen entire lifetimes,
moments both big and small,
heartbreaking and heartwarming,
and there's beautyin all of it.
[birds chirping]
[honking]
Thanks, Frank!
[instrumental music]
"Greenville Herald."
Is that Chad's car? Because I--
Okay, don't freak out.
-He's not in there, is he?-Aah...
You let him into your house?!
What was I supposed to do?
He's your ex-boyfriend,not an ex-convict.
I don't know,he is the one person
I am trying to avoid here.
Go in there... deep breaths...
[breathing deeply]
And be civil.
It was a long time ago,and you're both adults now.
Kind of.
Come on. He is waitingfor you on the deck.
Like an adult.
Chad.
Hi. Uh, what are youdoing here?
Uh, here,these are for you.
I know they'reyour favorites.
Thank you.
I was hopingwe could talk.
Hmm, still attheGreenville Herald,I see?
Yes. Yeah.
Yeah, some thingsnever change.
Some things do.
That's what I wantto talk about.
I owe you an apology.
I've been thinkinga lot about...
us back when we were kids,and I know
I... may have beenless than honorable
with some ofyour newspaper articles.
Chad, you stole my storyabout corruption
in the municipal election, andyou took all the credit for it,
and you gotstatewide recognition.
Okay, technically,it wasn't stealing because--
What is it with peoplein this town
trying to get offon technicalities?
Look, I was the junior editor
of the local newspaperat the time--
You were onlythe junior editor
because your parentsowned the newspaper
at the time and...
And that wasa long time ago, Chad.
And I'm sorry for it.
I was young,
I made bad decisions
and it cost me
more than I thought it would.
[sighing]
Hey, everybody deservesa second chance, right?
Hey, are you goingto the party later tonight?
I've got a lot of work to do,I wasn't planning on it.
Well, I, I hopeI see you there.
It was really goodto see you again, Katie.
[instrumental music]
So?
What?
That seemed cordial.
You should have warned meabout the flowers.
[sniffing]
[crickets chirping]
[keys clacking]
[sighing]
Paige? When is this party?
[upbeat music]
So you, Katie Taylor,
did the interview withthat coffee stain on your shirt?
I didn't have a choice.[giggling]
How were Mr. and Mrs. Carlisle?
Good. In love.
-Aww!-The same.
Well, if you see the guyyou bumped into here tonight
point him out.
-I doubt I'm gonna see him.-Hey!
It is a prettysmall town, remember?
Trust me, I remember.
[instrumental music]
Uh-oh. Look who's comingover here.
What? You said it.
We're all adults,people change,
and everyone deservesa second chance.
Okay, but just to recap,
Chad went fromHe-who-cannot-be-named
to Mr. Not-so-bad?
-Okay---In five hours?
-Yeah, but---That's gotta be a record.
Ohhh...
Ugh. Have fun!
Where are you going? Paige?
Katie.
You made it out after all.
Yeah, I mean, it waseither this or binge watching
Zombie Cats on the Loose,so...
Well, I'm really gladyou're here.
-Yeah.-You look great.
Thank you.
I guess we're gonna be judging
Greenville's Best Dishcontest together.
-Oh, you're a judge too?-Yeah, yeah, yeah.
-It should be fun.-Yeah.

[cheering]
-Fun.-It was.
-Do you want a drink?-I'd love one.
-Blue Lagoon, right?-No, I...
Yes, Blue Lagoon.
What the heck.
-Oh! Oh!-Boh.
You again.
You can't accuse meof ruining another $300 outfit
because this is just water.
-Mm-hmm.-I don't drink.
But if you want to be sure,a little
carbonated waterwill get that right out.
Oh, very funny,I am sure that passes
as charisma where you're from.
How do you know I'm notfrom here?
Because I'm from hereand if you were,
I would know it.
Hmm... Really?You're from Greenville?
You don't, uh,you don't look the part.
Why? Because I'm notwearing a plaid shirt
and some cowboy boots?
I'm sure you could pull offa plaid shirt better than
any woman in here.
As a matter of fact,
if I would have knownthat the women in this town
were as beautiful as you,
I would have moved heremuch sooner.
Hey, hey...
Now that... that passesfor charisma where I'm from.
Who the heck are you?
Some good-looking guy
who randomly bumps into women?
Yeah. And my work is done here.
But it's nice to know
that you think I'm good looking.
Oh, I did not say...
Oh, yes, I did. [scoffs]
Hey. Is everything okay?
Oh, yeah.
You know what, Chad? I thinkI'm gonna call it a night.
It's getting late,and I have a lot of work to do.
Yeah, okay. Um, get home safe.
-Thanks. Goodnight.-Yeah. Goodnight.
[instrumental music]
[slurping]
-Wait. The same guy?[Katie]Yeah, the same guy.
-Twice in one day?-Yeah. Can you believe it?
What are the mathematicalchances of that happening?
Well, apparently betterthan you'd think.
Listen, yoga is supposedto help you relax.
So stop thinkingabout him.
-Good idea.I gotta go, Willa.
Okay. Remember, 2 p.m.interview, Noah James.
Got it. Okay,gotta get my sun on. Bye.
[both chanting]Hmmmmmm...
Hungry and cold...
Okay, this is obviouslynot working.
Is there a placein this town I can get
some avocado toast?
I don't know about that,but there is a great new
breakfast place up the street.
Let's roll.
It seems like you and Chadwere hitting it off.
I don't know. It was fun,nothing to write about.
But then I got that drinkpoured all over me.
Hey, it was just water.
Still, two bad run-ins withone guy in one day?
It's worse than beingin the city.
Katie: And if I ever seethat guy again,
I will throw a drinkin his smug face.
I thought you saidhe had a pretty face.
Oh, well, a guy can be smugand pretty at the same time.
-I call it "smutty."-Okay.
I know that you're a writer,
but you can't justsmash two words together
and make it a thing.
"Smutty" will never catch on.
"Smutty"?
You mean smug and pretty?
Are you talking about anybodyI know?
You again.
You really have to stopcalling me pretty.
I mean, it's good for my ego,but I prefer...
ruggedly handsome.
It's him. He is him.
From yesterdayand last night.
Oh, him!You're Bump-and-spill guy.
-Hi, I'm Noah.-Paige.
So you're new to town.
Yeah, a couple of months now.And you must be Katie Taylor.
And how do you know my name?
Your magazine called and set upan interview with me.
A woman by the name of Willa.
She was really quite lovelyon the phone by the way.
Willa's a peach. So, this isyour restaurant?
Yep. Noah James.
Pleasure to formally meet you.
It's nice to meet youwhile you're not
spilling beverages all over mefor once.
-Well, technically---Really?
-Again with the technicalities?-Okay.
It seems like you twohave a lot to talk about.
-I'm gonna head out.-No, no, no.
I gotta get cleaned up,take a shower.
-I am not dressed for this.-It's just an interview.
You'll be fine.I'm gonna take this.
-And I'll meet you at home.-No, please don't go.
I wouldn't want your friendto throw a drink
at my smug,yet pretty face.
You know what? Just feed her.
I think she's a little "hangry."
[gasping]Hey, that one works.
Huh!
So...
Come on in.
So I looked you up.
Greenville seems likea bit of a departure
from your usual stories.
Yeah, well, the paper wantedto do a story on a "small town,"
and they found outI was from here, so...
Don't make it sound so badbeing "from here."
Don't get me wrong,I mean, I love this town
just in very small, small doses.
[laughing]
Well, you'rea big city girl now.
Yeah, well, nothing againstblack coffee
and bacon and eggsfor breakfast.
I just prefermy half-caf, skinny soy,
vanilla latte with an orderof avocado toast.
Does that make mea horrible person?
Not in my book.
There's this place in the city
that makes the bestavocado toast.
I mean, they use super-thickbread and it is to die for.
Now, is there anything elseother than a trendy fruit
on bread dish that drew youto the big city?
Yeah, I wanted to bea journalist in a big paper,
travel the world, you know,cover important stories and--
It's pretty muchwhat you do, isn't it?
Not exactly. I...
I take selfies in frontof pretty beaches and wineries.
Sounds likea great life to me.
Oh, it is. I mean I love it,
it's just not exactlywhat I set out to do. I mean...
But hey, I havean amazing wardrobe, usually,
a fantastic collection of shoes
and more Air Milesthan I can count,
so, hey, what elsecould a girl ask for, right?
I was thinking,maybe a boyfriend.
I'm sorry, what?
Uhh, I thoughtmaybe you left Greenville
to follow your boyfriend.
Oh! But no. Actually, it's kindof the opposite.
I sort of left Greenvillein part because of my ex.
Oh, I'm sorryto hear that.
But hey, I am the onethat's supposed
to be askingthe questions.
I'm an open book, fire away.
Okay. So what's your story?
You move to a small town,
start spilling drinkson unsuspecting women?
- Well--- And don't say technically.
[laughs] It's pretty funny,
my story is actuallythe complete opposite of yours.
-How so?-I grew up in the big city.
I always wanted to openmy own restaurant, and I did.
And when thingsdidn't work out with my fiancee,
I wanted out of the rat race.
I was tiredof the hustle and bustle.
I love the hustle and bustle.
I just... I wanted to leaveall of that behind.
I was tired of tryingto keep up
with the latestrestaurant trends.
I just wanted to cookreal food for real people.
This whole farm-to-table thingwas right up your alley.
You miss avocado toast, right?
-I do.-And you're absolutely right.
It should start with thickslices of fresh bread.
Follow me.
Thick.
Now, you don't wantthe toast too crispy.
Are you making meavocado toast?
With most places,there isn't much difference
between their guacamoleand their avocado smash
that they put on toast,
which is their first mistake.
Intriguing. How so?
Guacamole is usuallyin the supporting role
for dishes likenachos with cheese,
quesadillas, tacos,
but with avocado toast,
it's the headlining act.
So?
So we gotta bring outits natural flavors.
-Okay.-And it's simple.
Add a little more sea salt.
[grinding]
A dash more lemon.
Ooh! Alright.
And once it's plated
fresh ground pepper.
Ohhh... voila.
Okay.
Mmm! Wow!
See? That is the powerof local farm to table.
The bread is from the bakerydown the street,
and they makeit fresh every morning
with natural ingredients.
-It's incredible!-Thanks.
Maybe I'll enter thatin the Harvest Festival.
You totally should.
I was gonna enter a hamburgerand try
and beat the Greenville Grillat her own game.
Noah: The local paper alwaysgives them the best reviews.
Oh, Chad loves that place.He runs the local paper.
You know Chad?
I do.
We used to date.
Hah! I will not holdthat against you.
Hmm.
I appreciate the factthat you love my avocado toast,
but now I have to startmaking breakfast
for the restof my customers, so...
Uh, but we're not doneour interview.
You know where to find me.
Mmm...
Mm! Mmm, so good!
[crickets chirping]
I am sorry I'm so late.I was scouting locales.
How did it go with Noah?
Uh, he opened his restauranta couple of months ago,
and I tried his avocado toast.
-It was amazing!-Fancy!
I didn't realize anybody in towneven made avocado toast.
It wasn't on his menu,but he made it for me.
Really? He made yousomething off menu.
It is no big deal.
Did you ask him to?
I happened to mentionthat I like avocado toast.
And...?
Before I knew it,avocado toast.
Huh!
-It's no big deal.-Sure.
I'll warm you up somethingfor dinner.
Okay, thanks.
I'm workingthe late shift tonight.
Do you mind tucking in Maggie?
She's sort of been waitingfor you.
-Yeah, of course.-Thanks.
Umm... what do I do?
-[chuckles] You give her a hug.-Yep.
Pull up her blanketsand tell her that there are
no scary monsters waitingfor her underneath the bed.
Oh, so you want me to lie?
-Pfff!-Okay.
Hey, munchkin.
I heard you were waiting upfor me to tuck you in.
-Can I ask you something?-Of course.
Why don't you comeand visit us more?
You do love mom and me, right?
Oh! Of course I do.It's just...
Sometimes people get really busyat their jobs
or busy doing somethingthat's really important to them.
They don't haveas much time to visit
as they'd want to.Do you understand?
-I think so.-Good.
I'll tell you what, tomorrow,we'll spend some time together.
-Pinky swear?-Pinky swear.
Okay, goodnight.You get some sleep.
-And sweet dreams.-Goodnight.
[instrumental music]
Are you ready?There's a lot of pumpkins here.
Here to pickthe best one.
Whoa, look at that!
Alright. You gopick out a pumpkin, okay?
-Yeah.-Go on!
How about this one?
There is a wholefield of pumpkins,
you can't just pick outthe first one you see.
How do you knowthis is the best pumpkin
unless you lookat all of them?
-Okay. I'll keep looking.-[laughing]
[instrumental music]
[camera click]
My editor wants meto take some pictures
for my article.
-Do you mind?-Sure.
You've always looked greatsurrounded by pumpkins.
-Oh, why, thank you.-[laughs]
[camera clicking]
-How do I look?-Good.
It looks like you're having fun.
I am having fun.
You know, it's really something,the life that you built
with Michael and Maggie.
You have a beautiful family.
I do, but it's been really nice
having all of my family here,
even if it's justfor a little bit.
It's been nice having youaround, Katie.
I miss you too, and I promise
I will come more often.
Okay.
I think I found one, mommy,
but it's too heavy.You've got to come help.
Wow! That is a big pumpkin!
This is the one?
-Yeah.-Alright!
Do you mind? Here you go.
[Paige] For the littlest girl.Perfect!
[chuckling]
[camera click]
Aw, thank you.
Now, let's pick up this pumpkin.Ready?
You ready?
[all growling]
[instrumental music]
Looking for something?
Oh, um, no.I was just, um...
Watching peopleeat their dinner?
No. I was, um...
Oh, you must be hereto finish the interview.
Yes, the interview.That is why I'm here.
Are you availableby any chance?
-Do you like ice cream?-Everyone loves ice cream.
Great. There's a place downthe street.
-I'll buy you a scoop.-Okay.
So, do you enjoy beingback in Greenville?
Yeah, you know...
[moans] This ice creammight be better
than your avocado toast.
-No offence.-None taken.
Let me guess,local cows, grass-fed?
Of course.
You really careabout this stuff, don't you?
Listen, you might have to paya little bit extra,
but isn't it so worth it?
Mmm... Absolutely.
So, you ended up in Greenville
after things didn't work outwith your fiancee?
Well, technically,she wasn't my fiancee.
Okay, there you gowith your "technically" again.
I got down on one kneeand I had a ring,
but she broke up with me.
-Ouch.-No.
No, no, no.She was the smart one.
She knew we weren'tmeant to be together.
I was lookingfor a change of pace,
and she was...Well, she was like you.
She wanted the hustle and bustleof the big city.
"Hustle and bustle."
I started as a chefat a downtown restaurant.
We used to get over 200 peoplein at the lunch rush.
And you can make a lot of money,
but that just goestowards your big-city rent
or the newest caror a vacation to the Maldives.
Hey, Maldives are gorgeous.
But then, you're just workingto pay for those things.
So eventually,the things you own
just end up owning you.
[instrumental music]
Okay.
Maybe I can see your point.
Besides, if I hadn't movedhere, I wouldn't have found
this great ice cream place.
Hmm. Now, that would have beena crime.
-Exactly.-[chuckles]
Although, you just wentfor a plain vanilla,
and I would have thoughta world traveler like you
would have beena little more adventurous.
Hey, I know what I like.
Besides, what kind of weirdcombination did you get?
What's so weird aboutraspberry and pistachio?
Ummm, everything is weirdabout that combination.
No, it's notas strange as it sounds.
I mean, it combinesa sweet flavor
with a salty flavor.
-Go ahead, try.-Um...
And make sure you get theraspberry with the pistachio.
You know, even you sayingthat sounds weird.
-Hmm...-See?
The chef knows a few things
about mixing flavors.
Not quite sure,I think I'll have
to try another taste.
No, no, no. Just take it easy,Big City.
It's not bad.
-It's actually really good.-[chuckling]
[instrumental music]
So, how is everythinggoing at home?
Are you dyingfor a decent latte?
Actually, it's not that bad.
I had some incredibleice cream last night.
The food here is amazing.
Everything is freshand organic and--
So maybe the editors were right
to send you out there.
It's been interesting.
Interesting?
Interesting usuallymeans a guy, so spill it!
Funny choice of words.You remember Bump-and-spill guy?
[Willa]Yeah.█-He's actually really sweet.
And your ex?
He's not like I remember him.
Mm-hmm, I thought you said
nothing ever happensin Greenville.
It's nothingto get excited about.
Okay, I gotta go.I gotta give a trophy to a goat.
-Wait, what?!-You booked it.
[beeping]
Really is a goat.
Huh!
[instrumental music]
Chad: Not exactlyTurks and Caicos.
You read my article.
I've read all your articles.I think they're amazing.
And I think it's really coolthat you're gonna be giving
Greenville some publicity.
Well, I don't know how muchpublicity this place needs.
Besides, you havea great local paper.
Thank you.We've been very lucky.
Can't thank the peopleof this town enough
for the supportthey've given the paper.
Well, that's pretty graciousof Chad Porter.
Well...
this town has supportedmy family paper
for a long time now, evenafter I took over officially.
They've been great to me.
I've been working theresince I was old enough
to push a broom acrossthe floor.
I remember.
My parents did a great jobwith the paper,
but I always havemy own ideas and,
to be honest,
it's really niceto be in charge.
[laughing]
I don't think I've ever actuallysaid that to anybody before.
Guess I can just reallybe myself with you.
Do you wanna maybe hang outwhile you're in town?
-We could grab a coffee.-I...
Or tea. I hear tea's popular.
-I don't see why not.-Great!
-Great.-Great.
[indistinct chatter]
[pig grunting]
So, any predictionson who's gonna win
Best Dish in Greenville?
I mean, they're all greatrestaurants.
I'm really excited at allthe food that I get to taste.
Yeah, that part's gonnabe great.
But what about that newrestaurant?
-Noah's place?-Yeah.
He seems to be bringingsomething new to town.
-Hmm...-Do you know much about him?
I wrote a review whenhis restaurant first opened.
I think he was hopingfor a better piece.
Really? 'Cause his foodseems really great.
Yeah, he thinks so too.We got in a fight about it.
I'm sure he's a nice guy,but this town's been doing
the local farm-to-table thinglong before he showed up.
Maybe you guys just got off onthe wrong foot.
Maybe.
Whoa!
[instrumental music]
That is one majestic goat.
Yeah.
[instrumental music]
So, do you havea plan for today?
I'm gonna go to the farmand check out
some of the pumpkins, I guess.
-Should be interesting, right?-Yeah.
-Hmmm, love you.-Love you. Have a good day.
-Hi, Frank.-Paige, how are you doing?
Have you been watchingyour cholesterol?
Oh, just like you told me to.
So, you knowwhere this place is?
-Oh, sure.-Good.
So how's the homecoming?
Is it as scary as you thoughtit'd be?
It's okay actually.
Just okay?
Better than okay, I guess.
I don't knowwhat I was expecting.
It doesn't really matterwhat you were expecting;
it's more about what you find.
Well, so far, I find thatit has been great.
I was worried about runninginto old friends,
thought they'd resent mefor leaving this place
and going to the big city.
Nobody's gonna resent youfor that.
If they wanted to leavefor the city too,
there's nothing stopping them.
That's true. But I was afraidof running into Chad.
-Newspaper Chad?-Yeah.
But you know what? He's actuallybeen really nice to me.
Nice is... nice.
Yeah.
Chivalry is not dead. [chuckles]
As long as I keepmy cholesterol in check.
[instrumental music]
-Hey, Frank.-Noah.
Thank you.
-Hey.-Hey.
-Thanks, Frank.-My pleasure.
Just call me if you need me.
[engine cranking]
[honking]
-Nice boots.-Thanks.
What size are they?
Why?
[Noah chuckling]
[instrumental music]
[Noah] Ah, don't youworry about it.
So do you like, uh...living in Greenville so far?
I do, yes.
[Noah speaking indistinctly]
[instrumental music]
Wow! What a view!
It's okay.
I bet you makegreat pumpkin pie.
Well, you could comeby the restaurant again
and try a slice.
I just might have to do that.
So is that whyyou brought me here?
To show me the wholefarm-to-table thing in person?
Kind of...
but I wanted to runan idea by you.
Go for it.
-Step into my office.-Alright.
[instrumental music]
So here's the thing
we already have a greatpumpkin pie
at the restaurant.
Assumed to be great.
I still have to try a slice
and judge for myself.
-Of course.-Mm-hmm.
But listening to youtalk about the big city
got me to thinkingabout some of the things
that we could bringfrom there to here.
-Like what?-Pumpkin spice lattes.
[gasping] Intriguing!
Did you knowthat most pumpkin spice lattes
don't actually havepumpkin in them?
What?!
Most big chain coffee shops
need to order their supplies
months in advance, long before
the pumpkin season.
So what do they use?
Mostly a combinationof a few different things,
nutmegs, cinnamon, a few others.
[gasps] I feel like I have beenlied to my whole entire life.
Right?
And here in Greenville,we're sitting
on a ton of pumpkins,
so I figure that maybewe could try something.
But what are you gonna do?
So, a few different placesactually put
pumpkin pureein their pumpkin spice lattes.
A little like havinga slice of pumpkin pie
in your pumpkin spice latte?
-Sort of.-I love that idea.
What do we need first?
-Let's pick a pumpkin.-Okay.
Alright.
[instrumental music]
Alright.
One pumpkin spice latte,real pumpkin.
Ah! Ooh! That is horrible! Ah!
What?! Really?
Oh, I must have made a mistakewith the portions.
-Hmmm...-Noah...
I'm just kidding.It's incredible!
[both chuckling]
Aaah...
There's one thing that doesn'tmake any sense
to me about you.
Really, what's that?
Is Chad really the reasonthat you left Greenville?
Because I find thathard to believe.
Well, he's one of the reasons.
A woman of mystery.
Chad hurt me, yes,but, I don't know,
looking back, I don't thinkhe was the only reason.
Maybe just the easiest excuse.
My dad died when we were young,
and when my mom got sick,well, I just...
I just couldn't takeanother loss.
So when Chad screwed me over,
I took it as an opportunity.
Go the big city,chase my dreams and...
my mom was so proud of me
making something of myself.
But I convinced myself
it was the right thing to do.
The only problem was that...
I left Paige here aloneto pick up the pieces
and never came back.
[instrumental music]
You're here now.
I was pushed here,kicking and screaming.
Well, whatever the reason,
I'm glad you're here.
Me too.
Hey, do you want to stayfor dinner?
Yes, I would love to.
Great!
-I'll cook.-Okay.
[both laughing]
I actually said that?[laughing]
Oh, wow,that was incredible.
Thank you for the wonderful mealand the great company.
My pleasure.
It's been a long timesince I've been able
to open up to someone.
Me too.
So, other than beinga great listener
and an incredible chef,
do you haveany other hidden talents
that I don't know about?
[chuckles] Well, I do have
some pretty good dance moves.
I mean, not as fancyas yours, but...
-What?-[laughs]
Saw you on the dance floorthe other night.
[gasping] You did not?!
[chuckling] I was thinkingyou can teach me
some of those steps, and we can
enter the talent competition.
-I am mortified.-[laughs]
Well, if you're not gonnashow me your moves,
why don't youlet me lead.
Madame,may I havethis dance?
[piano music]
[instrumental music]
[leaves rustling]
You know, you havebeen smiling all morning.
I take it the interviewwith Noah went well.
He's easy to talk to.
You mean interview?
Yeah. It's what I said.
Okay.
But you are still goingon a date with Chad?
-It is not a date.-Right.
He is just picking you up,
taking you some placeromantic...
-Coffee.-Coffee can be romantic.
Ah, it's not like that.We are just friends.
And Noah?
-Just friends.-Ah!
A whole lot of friendshipfor a girl
who had no friendsin Greenville.
-Do not start.-[chuckling]
Come on, Maggie,come give me a hug!
I gotta go to work.
I'm too busy right now.
[sighing]
It's just a phase.
Some phaseslast longer than others.
[instrumental music]
Hey, kiddo.What are they doing?
-Playing.-They're playing?
-Yeah.-What game are they playing?
-Hide and seek or tag?-Tag.
Tag?
[Katie] Do you remember thattime you got your truck
stuck in the mud hole?
Ahhh... How could I forget?
You were pushing, but I didn'tknow how to drive stick,
so then you're behind the wheeland I was trying to push.
And then our science teachercame by and saw us.
-[gasping] Mr. Bingham!-Yeah.
Ohhh, he gave you the evil eyefor the rest of that semester.
He would neverlet me explain. Never.
Wow!
We've got some great historyhere, you and I.
Yeah, we do.
A lot of good memories.
-More than the bad ones.-Mm-hmm.
You've becomean amazing woman.
You got out of this town,you started a career,
traveled the world.
I'm... I'm...I'm jealous, yeah.
Yeah, well, it's not alwaysall it's cracked up to be.
Besides, I'm startingto realize that there's
a lot more to this townthan I gave it credit for.
You want to know whatthe best part of this town is?
What?
No matter where I go,
I see memories of us.
[instrumental music]
The school we used to go to,
the coffee shopwe hung out at after school...
where the old drive-inused to be.
[laughing]
I remember.
So, you've been backin town a few days now,
is it what you expected?
Not really.
How so?
Everybody here'sbeen so nice to me.
Present companyincluded, I hope?
Yes, Chad. [chuckles]
Did you really thinkthat people wouldn't be?
Actually, I did.
I thought people wouldresent me for leaving.
It's a small town,everybody wants to leave
when they're a kid.
Not Paige, I mean
she's always wantedto be here.
Have a family, raise her kidin Greenville.
We had that dreamonce, remember?
Maybe you just needto ask yourself why you left
in the first place.
It wasn't all about you, Chad.
-Oh, thank goodness.-Trust me.
-You were part of it, but...-But what?
I don't know,I was young
and I hated it here.
There was only just one storewhere you could buy new clothes
and two restaurantsthat you could eat at.
I can see howthat could be annoying.
Things have changed,and the restaurants here
are amazing now, and you can buy
almost anythingyou want online, so...
So... you mightcome back to Greenville?
My life in the cityisn't perfect,
but I do love it.
What part isn't perfect?
Seeing what Paige has,
I guess it made me think.
So, if you foundthe right guy,
you might come back?
[instrumental music]
I might.
-Katie...-Yeah?
I love you.
Whoa! Chad, wait.What are you doing?
I love you.I'm still in love with you.
-Chad, that's crazy!-No.
You just said if you foundthe right guy,
you might come back, and whenyou said it, you smiled
like you were thinking aboutsomebody in particular and...
I...
I thought you were
thinking about me.
Chad...
But you weren't,were you? Oh.
No. Ahem!
It's Noah, isn't it?
Chad, I...
I can't do this.
[instrumental music]
I see you're wearingmore sensible shoes.
[Katie giggling]
Yeah. I pickedthem up in town.
Is Greenvillerubbing off on you?
-Maybe a little.-[chuckling]
So, have you decidedwhat you're gonna make
for the Best Dish in Greenvillecompetition tomorrow night?
I don't know, everybody's
telling me to gowith my pumpkin pie.
Well, I am a big fan ofyour avocado toast as you know.
[chuckles] That's not exactlyon my menu.
I should try to be moreimpartial.
I mean, I'm one of the judges.
Well, I am the newrestaurant in town.
Maybe I could use a judgeon the panel
who thinksI'm good-looking and charming.
Right, except for this judge
also has a $300 blouse
with a coffee stain on itbecause of you.
Oh, well, this should makefor an interesting competition.
I promise I will be impartial.
It's all I can ask for.
But, um...
your avocado toast has been
one of the highlightsof my trip so far.
-Just one of them?-Yeah.
It's been great.
You know, reconnectingwith my sister,
the whole town really.
Meeting you.
It's been so longsince I've been here
that coming backmade everything
so different,yet familiar.
Hard to explain,but I feel like...
-Like it's home?-Yeah.
[instrumental music]
And when I'm with you,
I also feel like I'm home.
You make me feellike I could be me,
the real me, and
that I could be honestwith my true feelings.
What are your true feelings?
I, um...
[cell phone ringing]
[chuckles]
Um, sorry, it's
my sister.
Hi.
Oh! Nothing I can't continue.
Oh, yeah, of course.I will be there.
No problem. Okay, bye.
I have to go,and you need to decide
what you're gonna make.
Okay. Well, I'll see youat the Harvest Festival then.
-I wouldn't miss it.-Okay.
[crickets chirping]
We're closed!
-Chad.-Noah.
Are you here to write
another biasedunfair article about my food?
Hey, I standby that review.
I'm sure you do.
No, I was justin the neighborhood,
so I thought I'd pop inand try this avocado toast
I've been hearing about.
Avocado toast...
Well, it's not reallyon the menu, so...
That's strange.
I was out on a datewith Katie Taylor,
and she saidyou made it for her.
A date with Katie?
Yeah.
We used to datein high school.
More than that,first loves actually, so...
Right.
I guess being back in townhas rekindled
certain relationships.
Yeah, she wouldn't stop talkingabout how much she misses
the big city though,can't wait to get back.
She hated this townwhen she was in high school,
and she says nothing's changedher mind since.
Really? She saidall of that.
Yeah, yeah.
Same claustrophobic town,
same small main streetsame handful of...
restaurants withuntalented cooks.
She said all of that to you?
Yeah.
Sometimes, you need to knowsomeone for a long time
to get the truthabout how they feel...
to get the honest truthabout how they feel
about certain things,and that some things
and some peopleare just there to...
To what, Chad?
To make a good story, Noah.
I wrote an articleabout it for the paper.
I'm doing a wholeseries on the Harvest Festival.
Got an early edition.Why don't you give it a read.
Some tasty bits in there.
Ooh, look at the time,I gotta go.
Oh! We'll do your crunchytoasty thing another day.
-Take care of yourself, Chad.-Yeah. You too.
[instrumental music]
[door closing]
[instrumental music]
Tonight is the last nightof the Harvest Festival,
and we have one more restaurantto interview.
Did you get plenty of photosto go with the story?
Yeah, more than enough.
Any of you wearing coverallsor cowboy boots?
[laughs] Not a chance.
I bet you can't wait to gethome to the lights of the city.
Actually, it wasa lot more fun
than I thought it would be.
Well, now, I really can't wait
to read your article.
Can't wait to finishwriting it.
Okay, gotta go, Willa.
[Katie]Talk soon.-Bye.
[piano music]
-Hey!-Hey.
Good morning!
Yeah. Is there somethingthat I can get you?
Noah, what's going on?
I'm just surprisedto see you is all.
What are youtalking about?
I thought that this townwould have gotten
a little too claustrophobicfor you by now.
What?!
Shouldn't you be backon a train to the big city?
Well, you know what?
I gotta go pick up some silly
local ingredients, so...
Noah, what are youtalking about?
♪ Ghosts don't die ♪
There it is. Your words printedfor everyone to read.
♪ Ghosts don't die ♪
Chad dropped it off last night.
Chad?
Yeah, he told meabout your little date,
and how you couldopen up to him
about all the things thatyou couldn't tell the rest of us
'cause you didn't wantto hurt our feelings.
Noah, this isa work of fiction!
I thought we really hadsomething, Katie.
♪ You think you put it in the ground ♪
I think we do, too.
♪ Secrets talk at night
I hope that makes a greataddition to your article.
♪ You'll try to run away
-I'll see you.-Noah...
♪ Ghosts don't die ♪
I mean, yeah. It's always beena family paper, but I've been
running it for years.
-Chad!-Ah! What?!
I thought you had grown up,I thought you had changed...
I'm sorry, Mr. Mason,I will buy you another one...
But you are the same jealousjerk you were in high school!
I take it you have some issueswith some of the quotes
I attributed to youin my article.
"Quotes"? You mean lies.
Katie, you hated this town,you always have.
And you've only come backto look down on us.
Katie, you're the onewho hasn't changed.
I'm a respectful memberof this community,
always have been;you're just the girl who left.
You want a quote, Chad?
-Sure.-I'll give you a quote.
Cover your ears, Mr. Mason.
[inaudible]
Hey, I can'tprint that, so... Yeah.
[door closing]
Have you read it yet?
Just finishing it now.
It's all lies, all of it.
"Boring. Never changing."
Okay, that is not howI use those words.
"Unsophisticated."
I didn't even use that word!
Well, this is a disaster.
I'm sure you can fixthis with Chad.
Not that,this is gonna ruin my article
in my paper if this gets out.
And that's all you care about?
-Well...-What about Noah?
Aren't you at all concerned howthis is going to make him feel?
You need to tell him that thisisn't true, that Chad lied.
What's it matter?Some guy that I met a week ago
by the way isn't gonnaget me to change
the way I live my life.
Soon, I will be gone,back in the big city
and I will never haveto come back here again.
Yep.
Just like you to do that.
-Paige, I---Don't!
This is what I've cometo expect from you.
When the going gets tough,
Katie is nowhere to be found.
-Paige---Let me ask you something.
And be honest.
Did you want to come herefor this story
to come back to Greenville?
I...
-No.-"No."
-I didn't think so.-Paige, I'm sorry. I just--
Do you have any idea
what I had to go throughwhen mom got sick?
When I had to take careof her alone?
-I know, but I---I needed my big sister...
But she was too busy.
Too busy to care.
Paige, I cared.I just didn't--
I swear, if you tell methat you cared too much...
-I'm sorry.-"Sorry."
[sighing]Sometimes, the important stuff,
it requires the most effort.
-I know, I--[Paige] And sometimes...
The most effort,it means the most hurt.
When somethingis meaningful to you,
it hurts when it's gone.
I get why you wantto leave, but I just wish
that you wanted to stay more.
Hey...
One year at the festival,I ate so much pumpkin pie,
I had to lie downin the back of my truck.
I fell asleep.Nobody could find me for hours.
You really should watchyour cholesterol.
It's a shame you have to gobefore the festival.
One more interviewand I'm off.
What about who wins?
I really gottaget back home.
That's funny.
I thought you were home.
You know what I mean.
Still...
it's a shame to see you go.
[instrumental music]
So, I take it you guysread the article
about me in the paper.
Came out this morning.
Whole town knows what you thinkabout Greenville.
-You're from here.-Born and raised.
I guess you got a littletoo big for a little town.
We just thoughtthat being from Greenville,
you would have been raiseda little better than that.
Ouch. I guess it wouldn't help
if I told you guysthat it was all a lie.
Is it? -Of course!
I love this town.
Why should we believe you
and not the local paper?
Because I didn't...
I don't know.
It's what we thought.
So to end the interview,for the Harvest Festival,
we'll be makingour vegan mac and cheese.
It's gonna knockthis town's socks off,
and we are finally gonna beatthe Greenville Grill
and their hamburger.
Good luck.
Hmmm... can I trythis mac and cheese?
[both] No.
[instrumental music]
Okay.
[man on radio]The Harvest Festival is tonight.
The Best Dish in Greenville will be awarded,
and we will see if a new champion is crowned.
Tickets available at the door. We hope to see you all there.
-Here you go.-Thank you.
Next stop, the big city.
You know,I'm leaving this place
for the second time for almostthe exact same reason.
What's that?
Heading to the big cityto leave a mess that Chad made.
It's funny,
in life, people makea big decision
because either they're beingpushed away from something
or they're being pulledinto something.
And the older you get,the more you realize
that those thingsthat push you away
should never have been giventhat level of power.
And what about the thingsthat pull you in?
Those are the important ones.
Push and pull.
Leaving your jobbecause you hate your boss?
Big deal, most peoplehate their bosses.
Following a career pathbecause you love
what you do and you can'tpicture doing anything else.
That's importantat the end of the day.
Leaving Greenville becauseyou want to get away from Chad
is something that'spushing you away.
Ignore it and ignore Chad.
And what aboutheading to the big city?
If your job is somethingthat you love,
that's a pull,that's a good thing.
You need to listento the pull.
If your job is whereyour heart is, then go to it.
And if it's not?
Well, I'm just an old man.
[instrumental music]
-Hey, Frank.-Yeah, kiddo?
Change of plans.I'm gonna follow my pull.
Where to?
Home.
[instrumental music]

Is this another one of yourclassic Katie apologies?
It's not, Paige.
You've always beenthe best little sister,
and I should have beena better big sister.
I'm sorry for alwaysrunning away
when things get tough.I am done running.
From now on, I will be here,
I will be here for birthdays
and Christmasesand maybe even Halloween.
I'll be here for the good timesand the bad ones.
That sounds nice.Really, really nice.
I love you.
I love you too, Katie,and I knew you'd come back home.
Me too. Just took me a littlewhile to figure it out.
Now please, tell me
that your promise includesnot running away
from a certain smugyet pretty man.
-I don't know. I---I told you.
It's the things that arehardest to do that--
Are the most important.I remember.
I have sucha smart little sister.

-One sec.-Yes? Oh, Miss Taylor, is it?
Should I continue or did youmaybe, I don't know,

negative thoughtsabout our town?
-Yes, I would. Yes.-Excuse me?
I really would.Um, yes, I do, and...
But no, nothing negative.
I, uh... I just want...
I think we've allheard enough, Katie.
Nobody wants to hear any moreof what you have to say.
I'd like to hearwhat she has to say.
Thank you, Mrs. Carlisle.
Chad, you're a liar.
Everything you wrotein that article was lies.
I didn't lie about anything.
Everyone knowsthat you hate this town.
It's why you left.
Yes, Chad,that's why I left
years ago.
I was young,immature, scared.
I wanted to seethe world.
But coming back homehas changed everything.
And we both knowI love this town.
So if you don't mind...
By all means.
I love this town.
I love the peopleand the waterfront
and the restaurantsand yoga in the park.
I love my family.
I know when I left,I planned on never looking back.
And yes, I was not happyabout coming back to Greenville
to write an article, but...
it wasn't about the town.
It was about me.I was afraid.
I was afraidof facing my mistakes.
I was afraid that everyonewould resent me for leaving.
But I was wrong.
Everyone has been so wonderful.
You opened your armswhich opened
my eyes to everythingI've been missing.
To people and connectionsand family.
And love.
You all opened my heart.
And I'm sorrythat you had to read
such a horrible articleabout me.
It's not how I feel.
I ran away fromthis town once before
for all the wrong reasons,
and I'm not running anymore.
I love this town,
and I love you
Noah James.
Do you wantto maybe say something or...?
No. Not really.
Are you sure?Because I kind of thought
since I was up hereprofessing my love that maybe
you would want...
[applause and cheering]
[instrumental music]
Alright.
Okay. Well, okay.
Now that we getthat over with...
whatever that was[laughter]
it is time to getto the moment you've all been
waiting for, the Best Dish inGreenville.
-Good luck.-Thank you.
Put your hands togetherfor Mr. and Mrs. Carlisle
and their caramel apple crunch!
Let's hear it for them!
[crowd cheering]
[instrumental music]
I told you you should haveentered the avocado toast.
You know, maybe next year.
-I'll be here.-[laughs]
Oh, my gosh, Katie!
I cannot believethat you just said all of that
in front of, well, everybody.
I can't believe it either.
Guess something just
pulled me up there.
Noah, I'm really sorryyou didn't win tonight.
Thank you, Paige. I'd say thatI won the real prize tonight,
but I've never beena fan of cheesy lines.
Still soundspretty sweet to me.
So, Katie,what are you gonna do now?
I don't know. I mean,the paper wants me
to go to Thailand, but I think
I might take a little breakfrom the travel game,
stick around for a whileif you guys don't mind.
We would love that.
Hey, I could always usea hand at the restaurant.
I will leavethe cooking to you.
Well, now that you haveall this free time,
what are you gonna do?
Maybe this town has gottenbig enough
for two local papers.
