Suits me, no?

(Cara chuckles)
Is this what I think it is?
- I've been waitingfor you to open it.
- Wow, Cara, this is,
I'm so proud of you.
- It's just a mock-up.
I still have to givethem my final approval.
- What are you waiting for?
- There's stilla lot to go over.
The botched heist,the confession
in chapter 16, the new ending--
- New ending?
- Oh yeah.
I can't wait tosee what you think.
You can borrow this one
as long as you promiseto give it back.
- I don't know,this could be worth
a lot of money some day.
- Ben!
- Okay, fine. Fine, Ipromise I'll give it back.
- That's what I thought.
(cheerful music)
- Great.
Thanks.
- Megan.
- Yes.
- Syndra needs new covershots by this afternoon.
- What? You finishedthose already.
- Yeah, there's a problemwith the aspect ratio.
- Okay, book the cyc wall,
call the rental houseto deliver the lights,
and get IT overthere to make sure
they shoot in theright format this time.
- And do you want greenor white cyc walls?
- White, unlessthey want the model
photoshoped onto the moon.
And send Ariana'spublicist some flowers.
- Isn't that talentrelation's job?
- Yeah, they're a littlebogged down right now.
I told them we could help out.- Oh yeah, we're not?
- Please and thank you, Ethan.
- A quick question.
When you run out ofink making a checklist,
do you think the checklistmight be too long?
- It just means we're gonna have
a particularlyproductive afternoon.
- You don't have to say yesto everything, you know?
- I don't say yes to everything.
Hi, this is Megan fromHayden Layne magazine,
we're gonna need to pushprint just a teensy little--
(angry screaming)
I, no, yes, I...
- Which one do you like?
- No no no.
I want your fresh opinion.
No pressure, it's onlythe logo for my company.
- Well, thisone's my favorite.
- You like that one?
- I mean, they're all nice.
- No I'm just kidding,that's the one I picked too.
- I don't know why youneed my opinion anyway.
I didn't foundone of the biggest
snowboarding companiesin the world.
- And then quit tostart maybe the smallest
snowboard company in the world?
- Maybe but thiscompany has charm.
- That's good.- You like that?
- I could use that for mypitch with Porter Mason.
- You got your meeting!
- Good news, bad news.
- What?
- He is gonna beup at Clara Lake
so he wants to do itwhile we're there.
- That's not bad news.
- Yeah, but this trip issupposed to be a vacation.
You go back to yourgraduate program
in a couple of weeks--
- Ben, this is a big deal.
And when you land yourbig deal with Porter,
it'll just be anotherthing to celebrate.
And since you're working,
maybe I can invite Megan.
- Yeah, that's a great idea.
- Yeah?
Right.
Well, I'll ask her tonight.
If anyone could usea vacation, it's her.
- Okay, I'm gonnaget these printed.
- Looks great.
- Thanks.
I'll see you tonight.- See you tonight.
(cheerful music)
- Hot off the presses, Syndra.
Two finals foryour cover layout.
- You're a life saver.
I know it's New Year's Eve.
Hope it wasn't too much trouble.
- Oh no, not at all.
And design's readyto pull the trigger
whenever you are.
- How did Mallorymagazine let us steal you?
(Megan laughs)
- Will that be everything?
- Believe so.
You two have fun tonight.
- Thank you.
Syndra.
What's all of this?
- Oh, I'm justmocking up some panels
for our travel section.
- We don't havea travel section.
- We do now.
More women are lookingto explore the world,
I think we shouldbe a part of that.
Was hoping to debutit in February,
but just been so slammed.
- We'd love to help.
I know it's not the job
of an operations manager but...
- No, it's not that.
You would mock up an entiresection in two weeks,
on top of whatyou're already doing?
- Sure.
Ethan and I canhandle that, right?
- Mmm, um-hmm, um-hmm.
- When do you sleep?
- Ah, sleep is overrated.
We're on this.
Here, give me that.
Happy New Year!
- Told youyou always say yes.
- Technically, I said sure.
- Two weeks to mockup an entire section,
that's not even--
- You minored inphotography, right?
- Yeah.- Great, you're hired.
Rent whatever camera, lensesand equipment you need.
- What am I taking pictures of?
- Surprise me.
And Amanda!
I was just gonna hunt you down.

(phone rings)
Oh, speak of the devil.
Hi!
I was just gonna call you.
- Megan!
Are you free yet?
- That's what I wasgonna call you about.
- Don't tell me.
- I know I said I was gonnahelp you pick out a dress but--
- They heaped evenmore work on you?
- I really need to geta head start on this.
Meet you at the party?
- Fine.
I guess I'll have to pickout my dress on my own.
I'm leaning towardsleopard print.
- Cara.
- I think the style'scoming back in, no?
- Okay, okay.
I'm coming right over.
Do not leave the housewearing anything with spots.
- Deal.
I'll see you soon.
- See you soon.
Leopard print.
Ugh.
Your apartment looks
like a changing roomon Black Friday.
- Just being thorough.
- All the dressesare great on you,
why all the stress?
- I'm not stressed, it's just,
this is my firstNew Years with Ben.
New Years is whenpeople start thinking
about things, like the future--
- Yeah well, Ben lovesyou whether you're wearing
a Versace dressor a burlap sack.
- Even a leopard print?
- Don't wear the leopard print.
Ooh, what's this?
- Ah.
- This is your dress.
- Yes.
You're a pro.
- That's what I do.
- Did you come upwith a plus one yet?
- Been a bit busy for that!
- What about Sean?
- Sean?
What made you think of him?
- I always likedyou two together.
- Yeah well, youknow, things happen,

- Nothing.
Ooh, you look ready to go.

(crowd noise and musicin the background)
- Hey!

- Yes, going well?
- Now, they'rekeeping my plate full
that's for sure.
- Well, hey, let mekeep your glass full.

These operations, theydon't manage themselves.
You're still puttingpeople back together?

only less precise.
- Less precise?
I let you set my wrist.
- And look at you,full recovery.
- Small miracles.
- Hey look, I'm so sorryabout all the phone tag.
- And I'm sorry aboutthe missed emails.
- And I'm sorry about that time
I had to cancel, remember,
work was just crazy.
- And I'm sorry I had tocancel the time after that.
- Is it fair to say thatwe're both sorry then?
- More than fair.
- Well, then let's getyou a glass of wine.
Cabernet?
- Yeah.
(music in the background)
(Megan laughs)
- You're kidding me.

("Auld Lang Syne")
Thank you.
- You ever feel like you finallyhave a handle on your life?
- No.
What's that like?
- Have you given ClaraLake anymore thought?
Leave on Thursday,be a long weekend
of food, fun and snowboarding.
- Cara, I wish I could--
- And plus it'll be likethe one year anniversary
of us all getting stuckin the chalet together.
It'll be like a reunion.
- Trust me, there'snothing more I'd rather do,
but with work and everything...
- I get it.
- Besides, it'll benice for you and Ben
to get away together.
- Sure.
Yeah.
And he'll be working and trying
to sell his new prototype.
Who will I have fondue with?
That Creamy Swiss cheese.
You remember thatBelgian chocolate--
- Okay, okay, stop.
Stop.
I'll talk to Syndra,
maybe we can work something out.
Maybe.
- Maybe.
- It's just weirdis all I'm saying.
I read the new endingto Cara's book.
- You're overthinking this.
- In Cara's old ending,
the two detectives get married
and live happily ever after.
In the new ending, theygo their separate ways.
- And?
- And I've always kind of felt
like the two detectives
were based on me and Cara.
- You don't know that for sure.
- Detective BradLangston, Ben Livingston,
same initials.
- Okay.
Hardly conclusive, detective.
- You're right.
I know I'm being crazy.
It's just all thisstuff with Charmed
must just kind ofhave my head spinning.
- You're still bringingthe ring though, right?
- Yeah of course.
I'm planning something big.
As soon as I'm donewith Porter I'm gonna--
- Drop to a kneeand get a jump start
on your happily ever after.
- Exactly.
Alright okay, oh, I gotta go.
I'll talk to you later.
Hey.- Hi!
You're all packed up?
- Yeah, just gonna loadup the board prototypes.
We're good to go.
- Great.- Have you heard from Megan?
- Nah, I haven't heardfrom her yet. (phone rings)
Oh, speaking of.
Megan!
- Hi! Guess what?
I can come.
- Really?
How'd you swing it?
- We're launching anew travel section,
and I sold Syndra on Clara Lake
being our first layout.
- So you still have to work.
- Yeah.
And I can only come for one day.
But, you know, it'sbetter than nothing.
- Hey, I'll take what I can get.
- Well, Ethan andI are on our way.
- Great. Well nexttime I see you,
it'll be against thebackdrop of powdered slopes.
- Um-hmm.
I can't wait.
(laughs)
- Great.
(cheerful music)
- In short, the new technology
makes boards more accessible.
At Charmed Snowboards we believe
there's room on themountain for everyone.
- Mr. Livingston, in all myyears of hearing pitches,
I've never been so blown away.
- I'm sure that's exactlywhat Porter's gonna say.
- Hey, I'm convinced.
- We spent a lot of moneydeveloping this new board.
If Porter doesn't invest,we're pretty much sunk.
- Have you thought of aname for the new board yet?
- Of course.
Hundreds.
- You know you only need one.
What time's the pitch?
- This afternoon.
Sorry, I don't wantthis whole trip
to be about work.
I'll just get this over with,
and the rest of theweekend will be about us.
(cheerful music)
Can you believe it'sonly been a year?
- Feels like yesterday.
You even booked the same chalet?
- It seemed appropriate.
- Home sweet home.
- And no gift basket.
I guess Charmed Snowboards
doesn't have quite thesame swing as Cyan.
- I was only in itfor the gift baskets.
- Extra motivation to getCharmed gift basket worthy.
- You even bookedthe same cabin?
Amazing.
- I said the same thing!
I'm so glad you made it.
- Me too!
- Good to see you.- Hi!
- Got you loaded up.
- Alright, I'm gonnago unload these bags
and get some test shots.
- Right, we got a lotof ground to cover.
- Excuse me.
- Hey, Cara, wasn'tthere something
you forgot to pack?
- Right.
Medical tape. Yeah, Iwas gonna wrap my ankle
before we hit the slopes.
- You hurt your ankle?
- Nothing serious,just wear and tear.
I bet the infirmary has some.
Megan, you were there last year.
- Oh, how could Iforget when Sean
was all rollerderby on the slopes.
- Do you remember where it is
cause I was justgonna head there--
- Oh, no no no.
I'll go get some for you.
- Oh no, you don'thave to do that.
- No no.
You should rest your ankle.
- Are you sure?- Yeah, what are friends for?
Be right back.
- Okay.
- You're good.
- Got her to theinfirmary, didn't I?
- She really can't say no.
- Finally getting yourrematch with this fire pit.
- This time I gota secret weapon.
- Oh yeah, what's that?
- A lighter.
- A lighter to start a fire?
Revolutionary.
- Shoot.
I think I must have leftit in the other coat.
- I'll get it.
Don't want you to bewithout your secret weapon.
(soft music)
- Hello?
Anybody here?
I'm just gonna getsome medical tape.
- Sorry, ma'am.
I was just...
- Sean, what are you doing here?
- I work here.
What are you doing here?
- Wait, your newjob's at the resort?
- To good wine andbetter company.
- Not so bad yourself.
- But you know what?
Something is missing.
I believe,
I believe this is yours.
- The pineapple.
- It's the most guardedof all the fruits,
but under the surface,
the sweetest of them all.
- Wine charms.
Last year you hatedthem and this year
you're namingcompanies after them.
- That's an acquired tasteI have since acquired.
To all the charms in our lives.
- Charming.
- I have a feelingthis will be a weekend
we'll remember for a long time.
(soft music)
(cheerful music)
- Well, um.
Hi!- Hi.
- So good to see you.
I had no idea yournew job was here?
You never mentionedthat during New Years.
- Well, thecountdown to midnight
sort of interrupted us.
- Right.
So how's the newjob going so far?
- Well it's only my first week,
but I'm sure it'll be eh...
- Just what the doctor ordered?
(Megan laughs)
- Funny us being hereagain together, isn't it?
- Yeah.
Yeah, it's great.
Work's been crazy.
Feel like I haven't had aday off since last year.
- Oh yeah.
I hear you.
That's partially why Idecided to move up here.
Traded in skyscrapersfor mountains.
- Surgeries for snow rash.
- Yeah.
(phone rings)
- Excuse me.
Work never stops.
- Try not answeringthose once in a while.
See how it makes it feel.
- Nah, that's not happening.
You're not taking thisaway from me this time.
- Just don't fractureyour wrist again.
- Oh, you're planning onrunning into me again.
- I don't plan on it.
- Appreciate it.
- Yeah.
So, what's up?
- I need to getsome medical tape.
Cara has a bad ankle and...
- Yeah I thought youweren't gonna be able
to make it up here withBen and Cara this weekend?
- Wait, they know you work here?
They didn't mention that to me.
- I mean, my shiftis just about over,
I mean, we could gograb some coffee or...
- Or you can come to the chalet
and say hello to everyone.
- Yeah, that'd be great.
- It will be.
(soft music)
- I read the newending to your book.
- Oh yeah, what'd you think?
- It's much more open-ended.
- Gotta leave somethingfor the sequel.
- You don't thinkthe two detectives
should end uptogether at the end?
- That was my first instinct,
but I don't thinkthere's any rush, do you?
- No.
No I guess not.
- Hey ya'll!
Hey!
- Sean!- Hey, Sean!
I was hoping you'd stop by.
- Ye olde chalet.
- Wouldn't change a thing.
Cabernet?
- Please.
- You forgot tomention Sean's new job.
- Did I?
- Yeah.
- Thank you.
- Hey, Megs, I'mjust about ready to,
oh, hi there.
- Sean, this is Ethan.
Ethan, this is Sean.
Sean's a doctorhere at the resort.
- Well, it's great to meet you,
hope I won't have tosee you too often.
- What do you mean?
- Just that I don't wannaend up in the infirmary?
- Oh, yeah.
Hope for the best there.
- Ethan works with me
at Hayden Layne magazine.
- Ethan, doesn't your girlfriendwork at the magazine too?
- Nope, she's a teacher.
- Right.
Yes, Ethan has a girlfriend,
and she's a teacher.
- Well, it's fantasticthat we're all
under the roofagain, but we need
to shoot while westill have daylight.
- Right, just giveme five minutes
and I'll get allthe gear together.
- Okay.
- Sean should go with you.
Now that he works here, hemust know some great views.
- I've only beenworking here three days.
- Three days longer than Megan.
- Alright.
I may have heard ofa couple lookouts.
- Perfect.
Grape?
- Grape.
- Grapes.
- I'm gonna get some air.
- I know what you're doing.
- I have no idea whatyou're talking about.
Guess what I foundin Ben's pocket?
- I'm afraid to ask.
- A receipt.
- Great.
So we know he shops.
- To a jewelry store.
- You don't think.
Okay, hold on, hold on.
How do you know it'snot for some other piece
of jewelry, maybe a necklace?
- I thought that at firstand then I saw the price.
- Too high?
- Too low.
He couldn't buy anything
for that price at that store.
- Wait, then he couldn'thave bought a ring.
- He couldn't have bought a ring
but it was just enoughto resize a ring.
Add up all the clues,and it equals one thing.
- Proposal.
- Sh sh.
- She's gonna figure it out.
- Not this time man.
I'm finally gonna surprise her.
- Okay.
Forgive me for being skeptical
but you can barely surprise her
with a cup of coffeein the morning,
let alone a proposal.
- I'm paying cashfor the flowers.
They're keeping thedress at the concierge.
- There's a dress?
- Oh there's a dress.
I called up Denise'swedding planner,
who put me in touchwith her dressmaker,
who gave me the size toCara's bridesmaid dress.
- Wait, you didn't tell himyou found the receipt, did you?
- No way, not after my birthday.
- Oh yeah.
You should have acted surprised.
- He called to sayhe was working late,
and I heard a foghorn.
He doesn't even workanywhere near the water.
Anyone could haveseen that coming.
Okay, I should haveacted surprised.
- Yeah.
- But this time, I'mgonna play it cool.
- What about the ring?
- It's my mother's?
Drove 40 miles justto get it resized,
just to make sure Carawould never find out.
- Yeah.
She's definitely gonna find out.
- Not this time man.
I'm telling you she has no idea.
- Hey, Megan.
I'm all ready.
- Great.
We better get going, Sean.
- Yeah.
- Have fun you guys.
I wasn't sure you weregonna pull that off.
- Less Cupid's arrow
more Cupid throwingdarts at a dart board.
- Oh shoot, I need to getready to meet up with Porter.
- Great, good luck.
- Thanks.
- I've been wantingto walk around.
Re-acclimate.
- Okay, I got a surprisefor you after my meeting.
- Cool.
Cool.
(soft music)
- You sure you don'twant some help?
- Nah, thanks, I'm good.
- Yeah, he minoredin photography.
- Aha.
- Careful.
- He missed me.
- Oh, it's so beautiful here.
- Some really great viewsfrom the west point,
we just take the chair lift up.
Just a short walk from there.- Okay.
You'll get somereally nice shots.
- Sounds perfect.
Hey, I forgot my light meter.
You guys take this one up,I'll be right behind you.
Yeah, it's okay,I'll be right back.
- Wait.- Yeah, okay.
- Okay.
- This way.- Yeah.
- Yeah.- Yeah, okay.
(crosstalk) You go.- No no no, you go.
- No you go.
- Ladies first.
- I forgot what I was gonna say.
(soft music)
- So.
This'll work?
- This will definitely work.
How'd you even find this place?
- Ski patrol told me about it.
But I've never been up here.
Think I might come back,
like every day.
(Megan laughs)
- Here, let me see that.
Ah, that's great.
Maybe try putting the peak
on the right side of frame.
- Okay.
- Yeah.
Okay, let me see that.
- Yeah.
- Are youusing a filter?
- What? I--
- Because aren'tpolarizing filters
good for outdoor photography?
- Right, but I'm using agrading filter on this lens.
- Ah, I see.- Yeah.
- Okay well, maybe do something
a little bit more like here.
More sky.
You know?
- Okay.
- And what F-stop are you using?
- Uh, F-stop I'm using, yeah.
- Hey, Megan.
- Yeah, one minute.
Aha.- No it's okay.
Megan, I got it.
More sky.
- I got somethingI'd love to show you
just over here.
- Sure.
Um, Ethan, I'll be right back.
- You got it.
- He is fine.
(soft music)
- So, what didyou want me to see?
- Nothing, just an excuse
to get you away from Ethan.
- Excuse me, but I'm working.
- Were you?
Cause it looked to melike you were hovering.
- I was not hovering.
- You were kindadoing this thing
where you were like, uh, like,
doing this thing where you were,
kind of looking, but then
you were kind ofpeeking and poking.
- Sean, I was not--
- Couldjust do this thing?
Could I do this thing?
(Megan laughs)
Oh.
Argh.
Oh.
- Okay.
Okay.
I was not hovering.
I mean maybe.
Fine, maybe I was hoveringjust a little bit.
- Just a little bit.
Hey so, I've got the morningshift again tomorrow,
but if you got time, late lunch?
- I wish I could but I'm drivingback to Seattle tomorrow.
- Oh.
So soon?
Just too bad wedon't have more time.
- Yeah, too bad.
(cheerful music)
- What do you think?
- Your prototype feels amazing.
It's like floating on air.
- That's what I was going for.
Hot chocolate?
- You read my mind.
You know what, you shouldget Porter on a board
because that wouldreally seal the deal.
- You know, the funny thingabout most of these execs is,
they don't even snowboard.
- Well, they don't knowwhat they're missing.
- Two, please.
- Thanks.
- Thank you.
- So...
- So?
- How'd the pitchgo with Porter?
- He rescheduled for tomorrow.
- What?
Why?
- That's fine.
He's a busy guy.
We'll meet up tomorrow.
- You mentioned somethingabout a surprise.
- You know whatit is, don't you?
You don't have to pretend.
- No.
I don't have a clue.
- I was afraid you'regonna figure it out,
but I knew I had to waituntil we were up here.
This is something,before I met you,
I never saw myself doing.
But you've inspiredme, and for that
I'm forever thankful.
- It's a helmet.
For snowboarding.- It's not just any helmet.
Look at the back.
It's a hole for a ponytail.
Remember?
It was your idea.
- Right!
That's great!
- Try it on.
It's one of our company'slaunch products.
- Oh yeah?
Really?
Wow!
Fingers crossed.
I've wanted one ofthese for years.
- Looks great on you.
- Yeah?
Great!
Thank you.
Really.
This means a lot.
- Yeah.
- I don't know what I missed.
I was sure he was gonna propose.
- You can't be right every time.
And how awesome is it that heused your idea for the helmet.
- I know.
That was so sweet.
I probably came offlike a total jerk.
- Oh no I'm sure you were fine.
- So?
Did you have a goodtime with Sean?
- The best.
I forgot how charming,
and smart, and funny he is.
- And handsome.
- Oh, don't even remind me.
- I would think thesewere good things.
- Yeah that's good,but he is here now,
I'm in Seattle.
So when I leave tomorrow,
the carriage turnsback into a pumpkin.
- It means a lot tome that you came,
even if it was for only one day.
- I'd sail acrossthe ocean for you.
- I expected her to bea little more excited.
The helmet was her idea.
- You know.
I'm sure she's justworried about the book.
- The book is great,
she has nothing to worry about.
- Then why are youworried about it?
- What?
- The new ending.
- Oh.
I'm not worried about that.
- Oh, good.
Afraid you were gonnaspend the weekend
trying to play a matchmaker
with fictional characters.
- Nope, just you and Megan.
Looks like you had a good time.
- She's amazing, and funny,
and smart, and...
- Single.
- I was gonna saylives in Seattle.
- Hey, we'll shootaround the Lodge
the rest of themorning, should be able
to get back toSeattle by tonight.
- Trust me, it's a much more fun
skiing on the slopesthan it is in the trees.
How does that feel?
- Good.
- No more snowboardingfor at least 48 hours.
- Okay.
- Make sure she gets some rest.
- Skiing's all right though?
- What?
No!
No skiing, no boarding,
no tobogganing, no snow angels.
- Okay, thank you.
- Hey there.
- Hey.
- Needed more medicaltape for your drive back?
- Actually, Ethanand I got to talking
and we figuredthere's more to travel
than just what you see.
What about the other senses?
- I'm sure they'refeeling very neglected.
- Ha ha, very funny.
I mean, sure travelis about sightseeing,
but it's also aboutwhat you taste,
and what you hear,and what you feel.
- Right.
- We figured if we'regonna capture all of that,
we're gonna need more time here.
- You're staying?- Yeah.
That's great!- Yeah.
- I mean, more time for you
to explore all that.
- So we're still onfor that late lunch?
- Yeah.
(soft music)
- Look a little bound up there.
- Yeah.
Not having much luck.
- I could maybe help.
Sometimes ice getscaked in the bindings,
just gotta knockit off, and presto!
- Thanks so much.
Thought I was goingto wear my board home.
I'm Lisa.
- I'm Cara.- First time on a snowboard
if you couldn't tell.
- Everyone starts somewhere.
- I wish I could go somewhere,
haven't even made itdown the bunny hill yet.
- Well, I could give yousome tips if you want.
- You know, I was determinedto do this on my own,
but who am I trying to impress,
I'll take whateverhelp I can get.
- Let's do it.
- Okay.
- Let's start with those boots.
- Yeah.
- How's that feel?
- Like Cinderella's step-sister
jamming her foot inthe glass slipper.
- Great, thatmeans it's perfect.
- Great.
- Your other oneswere way too big.
- I'll be right back.
- Thank you.
- So Cara, what do you do
besides give snowboardlessons to strangers?
- I'm a writer.
Sort of.
My first book hasn'tbeen released yet.
- You write.
You're a writer.
- I think there's more toit than that, don't you?
- Please, you get medown the bunny slope,
I'm putting snowboarderon my business card.
- Okay, fair enough.
Well, if you don'tmind me asking,
why now?
- Snowboarding?
High school graduation.
Not mine, my youngest.
Seemed like yesterdayI was teaching her
to tie her shoes.
If time's gonna go by so fast,
no sense wasting itin my comfort zone.
- Well, snowboarding doesn'thave to be uncomfortable.
- Maybe for you.
If I can careen down a hillstrapped to a plank of wood,
I feel like I can do anything.
- Yeah, it's a goodpoint, actually.
- Snowboard materialsare actually
getting better and better,
but I like your attitude.
- Ben!
What are you doing here?
- I just came in fora little inspiration.
- This must be the boyfriend.
- Last I checked.
Ben Livingston.
- Hi.
- This is Lisa.
She's up here trying tolearn how to snowboard.
- Yeah.
May the mountain be warned.
Cara's been generous enough
to offer some pointers.
- You're in pretty good hands.
She's almost as good as I am.
- Oh really?
- Way better.
- It's great you two cancome up here together.
Very romantic.
- Yeah, this is actually
the very spot that we met.
- A year ago.
- My husband's work hasbrought him up here for years,
but I was always occupiedwith my own business.
- What's your business?
- I'm an event planner.
Birthdays, bat mitzvahs,
weddings too.
- Hey, Syndra.
- Megan, the sleepless wonder,
how go things on the hill,
- Great, really great in fact.
So great that we need acouple more days here.
I mean, if you needme back at the office
I'm more thanhappy to come back.
- No, I think this is fantastic.
- You do?
You do.
Great, great, yes.
You know, I was thinkingfor a full layout,
we're gonna need alittle bit more time--
- Because I was thinking.
- Yes?
- We'll have a print section,
but we should havesome video elements
for the website as well.
- This is true.
- If you don't have time...
- No no no, we're morethan happy to help.
We can get it done.
- Great, see youwhen you get back.
- See you then.
- So, what'd she say?
- She said we canstay the weekend.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
And we get to shootvideo for the website.
- So on top of doinga full photo spread,
we are now making a video.
- Exactly.
- I was hoping you'dforget I had this.
It's gonna be hard to buy
when it's sold outin every bookstore.
- Found a typo inthe manuscript,
making sure they fixedit for the print.
I'm driving myself crazy,
and the book hasn'teven been released yet.
- It's a big step.
Trust me, I understand.
- Megan's magazine isdoing the first review.
What if they hate it?
- Hey, I've had myexperiences with bad press.
You can't let it get to you.
- So you think thereview will be negative?
- What? No.
- Then what did youmean by bad press?
- Am I missing something?
- No, I'm sorry.
Just nervous.
- You have nothingto be nervous about.
Soon the rest of the world
is gonna know whatI already know.
That you are a wonderful writer.
- Speaking of wonderful,
I love this sport coat.
- Wouldn't wantPorter Mason to think
he's getting anyless than my best.
- Well, it's working on me.
I don't know how you do it.
Starting from scratchwith a new company.
How do you stay so confident?
- Everyone has doubts, Cara.
- Besides you.
- You don't think that I wonder
how it might have beendifferent if I'd stayed at Cyan?
- Do you?- Well, I don't dwell on it.
But quitting was apretty rash decision.
- Seems to have worked out.
Maybe you should makemore rash decisions?
- Remains to be seen.
- Mmm.
Oh my gosh.
This is so good.
- Ben's secret garnish recipe.
Honed over many winters,
passed on to me,
and now to you.
- Well, thank you so much.
Truly honored.
(laughs)
So when you're takingthese late lunches,
who mans the infirmary.
- They gave me a pager,
but it never goes off.
Less emergenciesup here, I guess.
I thought it wasbroken at first.
- A pager?
- Yeah.
- Seriously?
- Yeah.
- Hello?
It's for you.
It's the 21st century.
(laughs)
Come on, a pager?
- You got me.
(Megan laughs)
Hey look, I was thinking.
We had fun last year, right?
- Oh, it was thehighlight of my year.
- What if were-traced our steps.
Trivia-night.
Indoor camping.
No, seriously.
Let's replay our hits.
- Yeah.
That's a good idea.
(phone rings)
Oh.
- Hello, Nikki!
How's my girl?
Yeah, I'm real excitedto see you too.
Oh, you're gonna have a blast,
I'm gonna make sure of it.
Yep.
See you soon.
That was my niece, Nikki.
- Oh, your niece!
- I'm so sorry, Ialmost forgot my sister
and her husband arecoming to the resort.
And tomorrow's my day off
so I promised I'dhang with Nikki.
- Oh, your poor niece Nikki.
Having to hang outwith her uncle all day.
Yeah, I don't envy her.
- Hey, for your information,
I'm the cool uncle.
- Hate to meet the other uncles.
(Megan laughs)
It's all good, it's allgood, do your thing.
I mean, I have a verybusy day tomorrow anyways.
- Hey, I mean, you couldjoin us if you'd like?
I'm sure Nikki wouldlove to meet you.
- Really? I mean, Iwouldn't want to infringe
on your family time.
- Oh no, you wouldn't be.
- Well then, okay.
- He he he hey, Ben.
- Porter.
- I'm so sorryit's been so crazy
connecting this weekend.
- You're a busyguy, I understand.
- When you were with Cyan
our relationship wasmutually beneficial.
I would love tosee that continue.
- That makes two of us.
- Great.
So what have you got for me?
- That's very exciting.
(phone rings)
I'm so sorry.
Hello.
No, I said 10,000units, not 100,000.
Okay, I'm on my way.
Don't, don't sign anything.
Then stall.
I'm on my way.
Ben, I feel terrible,
but is there any waywe can re-schedule?
- I actually have somethingelse planned this weekend.
- And I feel terrible.
Next time you'll have myfull attention, I promise.
- Okay.
Sure.
How's tomorrow?
- Tomorrow's no good.
Let's try Sunday.
- Try Sunday.
- Thanks, Ben.
You used to run a big company,
I knew you'd understand.
- That's the shot.
- Oh you blessed ambrosia.
(Megan laughs)
- I told you.
Ethan, how are we looking?
- Even the camera's drooling.
- Oh yeah.
I'd say we can check taste
off our Five Senses of Travel?
- Believe so.
Alright.
I'm gonna go upload this card.
Catch up with you later.
Ladies, enjoy.
- Thanks, Ethan.- Bye.
- Thank you so muchfor doing this.
- This justifiesevery switch back
driving up through the cascades.
- Megan's gonna bemaking that trip
a lot more often now.
- Oh, come on.
- What?
- It's nothing, really.
- You got a thing fora guy who works here.
- Okay.
Okay.
I'm just being realistic.
We're having ourfun while I'm here.
But then when I goback to reality,
it'll be just that, reality.
- If spending time with someone
feels like a fantasy,that's someone
worth trying to make a reality.
- Yeah, but it's a littlemore complicated than that.
- Sure you aren't the onemaking it complicated?
Hey, we just met.
Take everything I saywith a grain of salt.
- Grain of salt.
- I'm just someone who'sbeen around the track.
- I think you're spot on.
- Oh, don't thinkyou're out of the woods.
- What? Me?
- Yeah, you.
What's the deal withyou and the boyfriend?
- There's no deal, I justmisread the situation.
I thought he was gonnapropose, and I was wrong.
- Well, from what I hear
you're pretty good atpicking up signals.
- Oh, it's like her super power.
I can't even watchmovies with her anymore,
she always spoils the ending.
- Okay, maybe he got cold feet.
I know he's stressed with work.
What?
- Your receiver works great.
I think you might need to takea look at your transmitter.
- I don't follow.
- You're great at picking up
on everyone else'ssignals, but sometimes
we give out signals ourselves
without even knowing it.
- You're good.
(soft music)
(phone rings)
Hey, Amanda.
- Hey, Megan, sorryto call so late.
- No worries, what's up?
- Well, I finished the review
of Cara Reneau's book.
- Yes?
And?
- And it's not onehundred positive.
- Oh.
- I know she's afriend of yours.
- No worries, you'rejust doing your job.
- I'll be sending it to you
before I send it to Syndra.
Please, give it a read.
- I will.
Thanks, Amanda.
(sad music)
- How'd it go with Porter?
- Rescheduled again.
Seemed to be an emergency
over a misplaced decimal.
- Yikes!
Hope he finds it.
Well, you never knowwhat tomorrow will bring.
- That's true.
- And I happen to know
that you are everybit worth the wait.
(soft music)
(cheerful music)
- So, how old is she?
- 15.
- What's she like?- Uncle Sean!
- Slick Nick!
Welcome to the mountain top.
- Hello.
- This is my friend, Megan.
Remember from thechalet mix-up last year?
- Ah, you're the one who works
at Hayden Layne magazine.
- Yep, that's me.
- That is so cool!
So do you get tomeet all the stars
who do photos and interviews?
- Sometimes.
- Can you tell me about them?
I'd love to havea job like that.
I was thinking I might liketo work in fashion one day,
or maybe be a vetcause I love animals.
- Well, you could do both?
You could have amagazine about animals.
(Sean chuckles)
- Don't laugh uncle Sean!
- Yeah, uncle Sean, don't laugh.
That would fly off the shelves.
- Absolutely.
- Who's the most famousstar you've ever met?
You got to meet her?
- She came into theoffice to shoot a cover.
- What's she like?
- Let's just say her voice
is even better in person.
- She sang?
- She sang.
(Megan laughs)
- Your job sounds amazing.
- It can be, yeah.
- These bindings are too big,
but we have some smaller ones
in the back you can try.
- Don't go anywhere, Ihave so many questions.
- Staying put.
- I don't think she likes you.
(Megan laughs)
But she's right, you know?
- About what?
- You are really cool.
- Ha ha, yeah?
Says the guy who literally
puts people back together.
- Yeah, but none of my patients
ever sing during surgery.
- Well I should hope not.
You know, it'snice to be reminded
you have an amazing job.
I forget that sometimes.
- Pretty stressful?
- It can be.
I mean, don't get me wrong.
I love my job.
I've just taken on alittle too much lately.
And now this book review.
- A book reviewis stressing you out?
- It's Cara's.
I'm the one who offered
to have the magazine review it.
Never occurred to me
that it could be negative.
- Have you talkedto Cara about it?
- No.
I haven't actually read it yet,
but this weekend issupposed to be fun,
I don't want to ruinit with bad news.
- Ready.
- It looks great.- Let's go!
(soft music)
- How cool is it thatone day your book
is going to be on these shelves
amongst all these classics.
- I don't know about that.
- Well, you don'thave to know, I do.
Everything okay?
- Remember how Megan's magazine
is reviewing my book.
- Yeah.
- Apparently the reviewer
wasn't exactly blown away.
- Did you read the review?
- Not yet.
I overheard Megan talkingto Sean in the pro shop.
- Cara, you knowI love mysteries.
We bonded over Agatha Christie.
Your book is good,
I promise you.
- What if this dream,being a writer,
it's just that, just a dream?
What if this is thepart where I wake up,
and realize how sillythis dream has been?
- The Great Gatsby.
Chicago Tribune calledit obviously unimportant.
It's so unimportantit's now considered
one of the greatestnovels of all time.
On the Road, Jack Kerouac.
Truman Capote panned it,
called it typing not writing.
Didn't stop it from inspiring
a bunch of dumb teenage boys
to drive across the country,
including yours truly.
Moby Dick, Brave NewWorld, Three Musketeers,
there isn't a bookon these shelves
that hasn't been criticized.
If it's in your heart,
no one can touch it.
Okay?
- Okay.
(soft music)
- Okay.
So, if any reasonyou can't find us,
meet us at the information desk
and we'll--- Got it.
See you at the top!
- Come find you.
- It was a good try.
- My sister's gonna kill me.
- No, she is not.
You just need to relax.
Isn't that why you moved here?
To relax?
- You mean why I traded insurgeries for snow rash?
- Oh.
- I had gotten into Iguess you'd call it a funk.
And I thought back towhen was the last time
I was truly happy,and it was up here.
You know, we'renot all like you.
Handle everything andstill ask for more.
- Yeah, well, being somuch faster than you
just gets me alot of extra time.
- Oh, so much faster?
- So much faster.
If you can't find me,
I'll be at the information desk.
- Okay, I'll see you there.
- See you there!
(cheerful music)
- In the human body,what is the hallux?
Hallux?
A, throat.
B, hip.
C, big toe.
D, elbow.
You must know thisone Uncle Sean,
you're a doctor.
We're one point behind the lead.
- I would go withelbow, that's my guess.
- Is it elbow?
- Big toe.
- Really?
- Big toe?
You sure?
Yay!
Tied for the lead!
- That was intense.
- Tell me about it.
- I got a cramp in my hallux.
(Sean laughs)
- Alright.
It all comes down to this.
- I know this one.
It's D.
- Now if you'resure, I'll trust you.
But if you're not, I needto know like right now.
- I'm sure uncle Sean.
It's D, Stitches.
- One hundred percent?
- Yes, trust me!
Come on, press D.
But are you one hundredpercent sure though?
- Come on, press D!
- Press D.- Okay, okay.
- Yes!
- The word dynasty getsthrown around a lot.
- Yes, it does.
- But at this point,it's the only word
for the back to backtrivia champions.
- Yes.
And we couldn't havedone it without Nikki.
- Slick Nick, coming inwith the music knowledge.
- Lucky I was here.
How have you neverheard of Sean Mendes?
- Yeah I thought youwere the cool uncle?
- I've heard of Sean Mendes,
but it's just that song,
it had like a little thing
that I wasn't sure.
- Well, it was just a pleasure
meeting you, Nikki.
- It was great meetingyou, too, Megan.
I had fun with youtoo, uncle Sean.
You were right about her.
- Your parents arewaiting outside.
You'd better get going
before your motherthinks I lost you.
- Okay, good night.
- Good night.
What did she mean by that?
- What did she mean by what?
- What she said.
You were right about her.
- Oh, I told her that you werean excellent trivia partner.
- Ah, yes of course.
Of course.
(cheerful music)
I thought you were justtaking video today.
These are amazing.
- Eh, just a man with a camera.
- No, you reallygot something here.
- Thanks.
- What are these?
- I snapped a fewcandids on the lookout.
- I didn't even notice.
- You were distracted.
- I, I...
(soft music)
- For our five senses of travel,
I was thinking abouthow we can communicate
feeling through a photograph.
- Aha.
- What if it doesn'thave to be so literal?
What if we talkabout how traveling,
getting outsideof ourselves can,
well, can touch our hearts?
- That's really good copy.
- Anyways, thesephotos of you and Sean,
I thought that feelingreally came across.
I'm sending you the files.
You know.
So, you can pick your favorites.
- Good work today, Ethan.
- Thanks.
- Ah, Ethan.
- Yeah?
- I think we haveeverything that we need.
You can go home tomorrow.
I'll catch a ridewith Cara and Ben.
- Sure thing.
Thanks.
- Good night, Ethan.
- Hey there.
- Hey.
- Have fun with Sean's niece?- It's like trying to keep up
with a hummingbird.
(both laugh)
But yeah, she was,she was great.
Do you know how to makeweekends last forever?
- I can ask around.
- Is this all Seanand I will ever be?
Great weekends once a year
if I can fit it into work.
- You know theymade these things
called telephones now? They'dlet you talk to somebody,
even if you're notin the same city.
- Aha.
I've seen that movie.
I know how it ends.
But two great weekends is more
than some people get, right?
- If anybody deservesmore, it's you.
- What about you?
Everything okay?
- What? Yeah.
Yeah, I'm fine.
- Cara Reneau, I know that look,
that's not your 'I'm fine' look.
(sighs)
- I overheard you and Sean
talking in the pro shop,
about the review.
- Uh-oh, Cara, I'm so--
- No no no no.
Don't worry.
You didn't want toruin my vacation.
You were just beinga good friend.
- I'll call Syndra.
I'll ask her not to print it.
- You know that Iwould never exploit
our friendship like that.
Plus, all press isgood press, right?
(cheerful music)
Morning.
- Hey.
- Hope you had some sleep.
- Yeah, a few winkshere and there.
- Have you heardfrom Porter yet?
- No.
Not yet.
- Looking good.
- I know right?
- Thank you, for what yousaid yesterday in the library.
It really meant a lot to me.
- I meant every word.
- Can I take out your board?
- Yeah, of course.
- Great.
- Good morning, coach.
- Morning.
- What you got there, huh?
- Remember how you saidyour board felt heavy?
Well, I think I foundyour secret weapon.
- Okay.
I'm all ears.
Just as soon as Iget my helmet on.
Want to make sure thisone actually fits.
Ponytail's souncomfortable, right?
- Here.
Try mine.
My boyfriend makes one
with room for aponytail in the back.
- Great.
Thanks.
Cool.
Huh?
Great!
- Right?
- Why didn't anyonethink of this sooner?
Okay.
Ready.
- Yeah.
Just make sure they'renice and tight.
Alright, let's do this.
Got this?
- Got it.- Nice.
- Okay.
- Yeah?
- This boarddoes feel nice.
So much lighter andeasier to balance.
- Good.
- Ben built this?
- Yeah.
His own special recipe.
- Talk about a keeper.
- Alright, we're gonna startoff nice and easy, okay?
- Trusting you here.
- Absolutely, here we go.
You got this.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
There we go.
Hey, Lisa.
- Cara, don't you,
no, Cara!
Okay.
- Yeah!
Nice.
Atta girl!
You did it!
Yeah, nice!
- Did I just shred?
My husband gave mea Spark snowboard,
his company makes them,
but I gotta get one of these.
If a gal like me can ride it--
- Everyone starts somewhere.
Everyone starts somewhere.
- What?
- Every snowboarder,from working moms
to gold medalists,everyone starts somewhere.
- Yeah.
- Well, you've beenlooking for a hook
to keep the prices low.
- But Porter's not gonna invest
if I can't convincehim it's profitable.
- Yeah but that'sjust the thing,
what does everysnowboarder have in common?
- They all startout as beginners.
You could be onto something.
Still a few things to iron out.
I want to keep thecool factor, but
everyone starts somewhere.
- Now you just need tocome up with a name?
- Right, I've beenleaning towards Thunder.
- Oh, Thunder soundslike a racehorse.
I don't know.
Um, your board'ssleek, and light.
The Feather.
- Feather's kind of delicate.
This board is strong,it's dependable.
I'll think of something.
Thank you, thank you for this.
- You know, we saidthat we were going
to retrace our steps,and indoor camping
was a significant step.
- It was the last step.
- You know what they say.- What's that?
- All great thingsmust come to an end.
- Mmm, I wish it wasn't so.
Sean?
- Yeah?
- Do you ever think about it?
- Think about what?
- Why this, whatever this is,
didn't work in Seattle?
- You were busy, I was busy.
- We're busy people.
I guess I don'tsee that changing.
I mean, I don't know,I've worked so hard
to get where I am, and I'mscared that if I don't,
it's all gonna go away.
- It also made it easier.
- What do you mean?
- We had such a specialtime when we were here,
that maybe we thoughtif we went to Seattle,
and the magic wasn'tthere that maybe,
maybe being busywas just an excuse
not to take the risk.
Or maybe we just work too much.
- Yeah.
Maybe.
- It's not done.
- I like my medium rare.
- Oh.
Well, I like mine well done.
- You can breathe a littledeeper up here, huh?
- Oh yeah, that'sthe good stuff.
- Do you remember Camp Snow?
- Sure.
They help underprivilegedkids go snowboarding.
- Yeah.
The smiles on those kids' faces,
doing something they thought
they'd never be able to do.
- You've alwaysbeen very generous.
- Yeah but thosekids, they go home
with black diamondsshining in their eyes.
Then they find out whatthe equipment costs.
- Don't ever feel likeyou haven't given enough.
- But with my newpolymer, those same kids,
they could finally afforda board of their own.
That's why this isso important to me.
- There's room on themountain for everyone.
- That's more than justa slogan to me, Cara.
Charmed is more thanjust a business to me,
the way your novel is morethan just a book to you.
- Yeah.
- I live every detail,
the way you liveevery word, right?
So why did youchange the ending?
- Because mypublisher asked me to.
- Your publisher asked youto take out the proposal?
- Well, not exactly.
I mean, they asked forsomething more open-ended,
so that was my idea.
What's this about?
- Sorry.
Forget I said anything.
- Wait, is there something
you don't like about the ending?
- Am I crazy to think
that those charactersare based on us?
- Wait, is that why you didn't?
No, Ben, they're just,
they're just characters,
they're not based on us.
- Not at all?
- I mean, sureevery writer draws
from their life somewhat but
I don't remember usfoiling a jewel heist.
- So you changing the ending,
it was just a business decision?
- Yeah, what else would it be?
- I'm sorry, Cara.
It just feels likemore than that.
- What, so you think Ibroke up the detectives
because I secretlydon't love you?
- No, that's notwhat I'm saying.
- Then what are you saying, Ben?
- What I'm saying is,is it possible, maybe,
that there's something inthat ending, some question
you're trying toanswer for yourself?
- Everyone getscold feet sometimes,
but I don't think you canblame my book for that.
- What do you mean cold feet?
- You know, like ifyou were planning
on asking mesomething important,
and then decided not to.
- Wait.
You know about the,
how?
- I found the receiptin your jacket,
from the jewelry store.
- There is no surprisingyou, is there?
I don't know why I even try.
- So it's not a surprise.
Is it really that big of a deal?
- Yeah.
Actually, this is a big deal.
This weekend has beena big deal for me.
I can't believe Ifought with Cara
over fictional characters.
- I used to fight with my sister
over who got to be T-rexwhen we played dinosaurs.
- Am I losing my mind?
- Nah.
You gotta have amind to lose first.
You know, you'vealways been my idol?
- Come on.
- I mean it.
You're like an action star,
always diving intothe great unknown.
But this Ben, theone who overthinks,
this isn't you.
I mean, the Ben I know,
an investor rescheduleson him twice,
he takes his business elsewhere.
- And to think youwere always my hero.
- Oh guy, you don't have tosay it just cause I said it.
- High stress job, people
putting their livesin your hands,
and you never letit get it to you.
Always a smile.
- You ever seen a duck swimming?
- Yeah?
- Above the water, calm.
Below the water,
those legs are justchurning up a storm.
- Okay?
- What I'm trying to say is,
any peace you thoughtI had, I didn't.
I just kept doing whatI had to do anyway.
(cheerful music)
- If the detectivesteals the crown jewels,
is he gonna look at me sideways
for buying a ticket to England?
- Well, he thoughtthe characters
were based on the two of you,
and then you broke them up.
Of course he's gonnawonder what that means.
- But that's the thing,
the charactersaren't based on us.
What?
- Detective Brad Langston.
- Yeah.
- Brad Langston,
Ben Livingston.
- Wow, same initials.
Now I know why I'm alwaysmistaken for Cal Ripken.
- It's not justthe initials, Cara.
It's, it's--
- I mean sure BradLangston is handsome,
and caring, and generous
but Brad like burritos,
Ben likes bratwursts.
He's based on Ben.
How did I not see that?
- Honestly girl,you're the only one.
- Oh.
But I want Ben to propose,
I wouldn't havechanged the ending
to tell him not to.
- Connection's scary.
Sometimes in wayswe don't even notice
we sabotage thingsto avoid the risk
of being hurt.
- How could I be so stupid?
- Oh, no no no.
You're not stupid,you're the smartest,
most talented person I know.
- Talented enoughto write a novel
that critics hate.
- It was one critic,and she didn't hate it.
- You read the review?
- I did, this morning.
And you should too.
- Uh, I don't think I'mup for that right now.
- Read it.
I'm gonna hit the slopes.
One last time, before Ihave to go back to reality.
- Cara Reneau's novel, TheGirl Who Knew Too Much,
is one of the mostpromising debuts
in the mystery genrefor quite some time,
a fact which makesits late missteps
all the more confounding.
Tautly written, rife withsubterfuge and reveals,
its heart is what makesit truly appealing.
It's a story about how sometimes
to solve a mystery wemust stop looking without,
and start looking within.
Nimbly weaving betweenintrigue and romance,
the story challenges us to break
through the outer shellsof its characters,
the armor we all wearin our daily lives,
to uncover the truth inside.
The heart is the prizebeneath the veneer,
and finally the key tosolving the mystery.
Reneau lets not asingle word astray
until the final chapter,
when the two lead detectives,
inexplicably break away.
A novel which arguesso convincingly
for our heart's powerto overcome our fears,
forgets its own lessonin the final pages.
(sighs)
- Hey, Porter.
Meet me in thelibrary in 30 minutes.
I'll be there. And if youwant to be a part of this,
you will be too,
or I'm going with someone else.
Fine, you can have 35.
Hey.- Hey.
Sean told me I'd find you here.
Look, I know you don'thave a lot of time,
but I had somethingI wanted to say.
- Yeah me too.
I'm sorry.
I shouldn't havewalked out like that.
- When you reallycare about something,
it's like a bird sittingon your shoulder.
And you're afraid tomove, because you know
that there's a chancethat it might fly away.
But the truth is, thebird can fly away.
So you might as well move,
and trust that it'll stay.
Good luck with your proposal.
- Thanks.
- Oh and if you get stuck,
you can always tell him
that Lisa liked your board
way better than her Spark.
- Cara.
Lisa rode a Spark?
That's a pretty high-endboard for a beginner.
- Yeah, she said thather husband makes them.
- Porter Mason makes Sparks.
- Wait, Lisa is...
- Porter's wife.
- How long until Porter's here?
- It should be about 15 minutes.
- I need 25.
You think you can stall?
- Easily.
I have plenty of material.
(cheerful music)
(phone rings)
- Hello?
- Megan!
- Hi, Syndra.
How are you?
- Fantastic.
I love the photospread for the resort.
- Oh good, good.
- Ethan sent me whatthe two of put together.
Travel Through the Five Senses.
It looks amazing.
- Great.
Thank you.
- Travel section is a go.
I'll edit, and you'llmanage production.
I know you're already slammedas operations manager,
but if anyone canpull it off, it's you.
- No.
- What?
- I'm sorry, I can't do both.
- Really?
- I'm sorry, Syndra.
I just don't have the time.
And Ethan's great.
He's over-qualifiedworking under me right now.
You should really let himtake the travel section.
- Well okay,
so you'll only dotwice as much work
as anyone else insteadof three times as much.
- Feel free to sendme two paychecks.
- Oh sorry, you're breaking up.
(Megan laughs)
- Hey, Syndra.
Thanks for listening.
I'll see you at the office.
- Can't wait.
(cheerful music)
- Look out!
Are you okay?
Oh, I'm so sorry.
I couldn't stop myself.
I...
You gotta be kidding me.
- Well, looks like we canretire all those jokes
about me runninginto you last year.
- Are you okay?
- Oh, let me, I don't know,
I gotta check.
I might have a little--
- Oh no.
- I might need tosee the doctor.
- Okay, who do I call?
Sean, are you okay?
- Yeah, I'm fine.
- Are you sure?- Yeah, I'm okay.
- I'm so sorry.- It's okay.
(Megan laughs)
- And that's howyou justify the cost
but keep the low price point.
From Seattle to the Swiss Alps,
everyone starts somewhere.
- A board for beginners.
- It's a board for everyone.
- Does this thing have a name?
- It's strong, light, graceful,
feels like a part of you.
And she'll carry you to places
you could only dream.
The Wing.
- The Wing.
That's good.
But if I'm going intoproduction on this scale,
I need to see thisthing in action.
- I thought you might say that.
Come with me.
See anyone you know?
- Lisa?
- You got this.
- Okay.
With this board and helmet
I feel like I could fly!
Here goes!
(soft music)
- She looks like a natural.
- Everyone starts somewhere.
- Yeah!
Alright!
I think you're ready?
Yeah, you're right.
- I know.
That was really--
- Honey, that was incredible.
- Thanks.
Thanks.
Between Ben's board,and a few lessons
from my coach back there,
I had a lot of help.
- I am impressed.
- Oh, and look atthis great helmet.
It actually fitswith a ponytail.
You have no idea whata pain it is otherwise.
- It's another prototype.
- Well, this settles it.
I want to startmaking these boards,
and these helmets, asquickly as possible.
What do you say, Ben?
Spread our Wings?
- I say that sounds great.
- Ha ha.
Ben, if you everdoubted yourself
after leaving Cyan,you're the only one.
The rest of this industry knows
you're the real deal.
- Oh, I'm so proud of you.
- Am I doing this right?
- Absolutely.
That's all it takesto be a doctor.
Just moving things aroundand poking randomly.
(Megan laughs)
- Well I don't know.
- Megan, I'm fine.
- Okay.
- I was actually hopingI'd run into you.
- Sorry I beat you to the punch.
- Megan.
When I told you the last time
I was truly happyit was up here,
I was telling the truth.
But I realize now that it wasn't
just being up herethat made me happy,
it was being with you.
- I feel the same way too, Sean.
- No one's filled myvacancy at the hospital,
I could come back to Seattle.
Let's take this thing seriously.
- This weekend, I realized thatI've been putting my career
in front of people who arereally important to me.
So I guess what I'm saying is,
no more missed connections.
(soft music)
(phone rings)
- Uh.
It's Ben.
Hello?
- Hey, Sean.
Are you with Megan?
- She's around.
- Great.
I need Cara out of thechalet for a couple hours.
You remember thatplan I told you about?
It's back on.
- Really?
- Oh yeah.
- We're on it.
I need your help with something.
- No, I know why youwanted the new ending
but it's truer to the characters
if they end up together.
Great, thanks forbeing so understanding.
Any chance you can get Amanda
to write a second reviewon the manuscript?
- They're letting you goback to the old ending?
- Well, it took some convincing
but the publishers aresending up a new mock-up.
- I'm proud of you, Cara.
(both laugh)
- Wow!
I am wiped.
How long were we out there?
Two, three hours?
- Was it that long?
Time flies on a snowboard.
(both laugh)
- I'm glad we just gotsome uninterrupted fun.
- Yes.
Just like the good old days.
- Alright.
Well I guess I'm gonnahead back to the chalet.
- Okay.- You're gonna come?
- No, I'm just gonnacatch up with some work.
- Work?
Really?
Cause that just looks likepictures of you and Sean.
Alright.
(both laugh)
What did I do to deservea friend like you?
- I guess you're just lucky.
- You got that right.
Alright.
See ya.
- See ya.

- Agatha Christie.
I was reading it last year.
You tried to spoil the ending.
- This is incredible.
- I've read it twice since then,
even though I know what happens.
And I realize, even ifI can't surprise you,
it doesn't mean youwon't enjoy the story.
- How did you do all this?
- I had a little help from Sean.
I had a lot of help from Sean.
Cara.
You are the single mostunbelievable person
I've ever met in my life.
- Oh gosh.
- And I don't knowwhere this story goes,
but all I know isif we're together,
it will have a happy ending.
Cara Reneau.
