What will you see?
Lighthouses, shipwrecks, whaling boats.
Gold coast millionaires commuting on high-speed yachts.
Our waterways have shaped our history
for over 500 years and it's all here.
Sometimes people turn up late for the tour.
So, I just thought I'd get it started.
Fake it till you make it, right?
That woman from the Discovery Council is here for you.
Would you mind telling her I'm busy with the tour?
Yeah.
♪
Any bill you send us is just an estimate entitling us,
therefore, to estimate what we would like to pay you.
Good.
Sure.
Come and fit the new meter whenever you'd like.
Fake it till you make it.
That rep, he left this for you.
This was my father's dream.
I would never turn a private museum over
to some educational conglomerate.
But really, what am I gonna do?
I'm doing one of the exercises in my Live Your Dream Life book
and I suddenly see it so clearly.
What if we opened this place up to events?
Well, that's why I've spent the last two years
courting Imogene Heron.
I really think if she gave a history talk here
it would draw a crowd.
That's not that kind of event.
I took the liberty of writing up a blurb.
"With nautical treasures transporting your guests
"through local coastal history, this magical wedding destination is a hidden gem."
With the rental fee from weddings alone,
in just six months, we'll be in the black.
What would I know about weddings?
My father ran a history museum, not a wedding factory.
What if people spill champagne on the books
or walk past the exhibits without even reading them?
Just weekends, and spring and summer.
If I were getting married,
maybe I'd think about doing it here.
But what's the appeal if you're not a history buff?
Wait.
So, you do think about getting married?
Like, in the distant, distant future.
But you've thought about it?
I don't have time to think about love
when I have grant applications to write.
A business to maintain.
Love just isn't important right now.
But what if love could save your business?
My dad trusted me with this place.
It was his baby.
You knew my dad.
What do you think he would think about all the hoopla?
I think he would have wanted you
to be able to pay the museum's water bill.
I know. I know.
You know what?
Let's do it.
Let's make this place some money.
We'll just have really strict rules about what people
can and cannot touch.
Really?
This is awesome!
We're manifesting.
But I'm not giving up on Imogene Heron.
Of course not.
♪
Jackson Valentine,
you don't need to creep around like a ninja.
I told you he's in meetings till 4:00PM.
I don't see the point in avoiding Dad, by the way.
I just don't want to upset him.
I think it's better if he doesn't see me
until this all blows over.
You left to set up a rival company.
That's not exactly the kind of thing that vanishes on the wind.
It's not a rival company.
I told you this.
It's just a side thing where I can take on some of the projects
that I'm more passionate about.
I need to get out into the world and make a difference.
And yet, here you are.
Yeah, right, ok.
Well, maybe, you know, being in the investment world
has taught me that if you want to make a difference,
you need relationships.
You want the upcoming board seat?
Why?
Why? Why is because there are hundreds of nonprofits
that could do so much more if they had a bit more funding.
I mean, this one, for example.
Ocean Can, they use technology to help clean the oceans.
It's brilliant.
So you'd use your status to vote to fund projects like that one?
All the power of being on staff here at Valentine Holdings
without having to be on staff here at Valentine Holdings.
Or, you could just have an actual conversation
with our father and influence the direction of the company
the old-fashioned way.
Come on. Breakfast with Dad is not gonna get him to listen.
He risks becoming obsolete.
So, what do you say?
Do you want to influence the future of Valentine Holdings?
Yes.
One down, four to go.
Ok, I gotta get moving 'cause I only have 10 days until vote.
I'll see ya.

She won't mind.

Ah!
-Good. -I feel so awkward.
Does it look weird?
No.
Ok, look out to sea like you're contemplating
your new life together.
This is for the museum.
Yes.
Over the shoulder.
Hey, hey, hey, come on.
Look, not today, I'm over here, I'm working.
What paper are you from?
You know what, actually, can we just,
let's just delete these because there's-
Oh, no, sorry.
Uh, you think... It's not what you think.
Please don't!
Hey, what's going on?
Wow.
Oh, my gosh!
I just deleted your wedding photographs.
You deleted them?
I have to take all those pictures again?
I am so sorry.
I, I thought you were,
well I mean, I thought that she was
and then I, I didn't realize.
Do those, um, automatically back up,
like to the cloud or anything you take them?
Uh, wow. I feel terrible.
You know what? Why don't I pay for it.
Or, better yet, I can get another photographer out here
and we can have two going at once,
that way you can get back to your, your guests sooner.
Thank you, no. I'll continue using this one.
It's Jackson Valentine.
Look, I, I, I really don't want a press leak.
I mean, if people get their hands on this
before I get my presentation, we could lose momentum,
the whole thing could fall through.
It's, it's for the Ocean Can.
Did you know that we are dumping
the equivalent of a garbage truck
full of plastic into the ocean every single minute?
You don't have to tell me about the ocean.
I love the ocean.
I'm the ocean's best friend.
I run that maritime museum, over there.
Then I guess you know
that only nine percent of plastic gets recycled?
That's actually not, well, it's mine, but...
It wasn't personal.
A lot of folks are misinformed.
Oh, I am the Queen of information.
So, thank you for your concern, but I've got this, all of this.
Good luck with your garbage cans.
Ok.
Congratulations and please give my regard
to the very lucky Mr. Maritime Museum.
Thank you.
What? That was Jackson Valentine!
Let's go.
♪
I can't believe you don't recognize him.
He's from one of the richest families,
not just on the bay, but in the world.
He's always in the papers and on social media.
It's actually the opposite of famous.
No one really knows you, but they think they do.
Well, it seems like he does a lot of good.
Digging house foundations in Sri Lanka,
rescuing sloths in Costa Rica.
And his passion project, cleaning up the oceans.
Apparently, just one of those cans
removes half a ton of ocean debris a year.
It all comes down to doing the simple things.
Just a little bit differently.
And, he's a bachelor.
Surprise, surprise.
Not the playboy kind. A total class act.
Into women for their minds.
Look.
No plans to marry.
No, we just, we enjoy each other's company.
And who wouldn't love listening to her and Julie's ideas.
Ok, enough with the celebrity stalking.
Where's the press release?
Are you crazy? When did you take that?
Why did you take that?
He was in that nice suit and you were in the dress
and you looked like a couple.
It's for our vision board.
What vision board?
It's how you manifest. It says so in the book.
So...
"The secret to getting your dream life is
"to live like you already have it.
"What does success look like to you?
"Be specific."
Who is this Erica Rosario anyway?
Come on. Let's get that press release out.
Yeah.
But we're still manifesting.
Done!
Oh.
Uh-oh.
Luna...
Yes?
I may have accidentally sent out the save the date
I made for our vision board.
You mean your vision board?
I'm so sorry.
Erica Rosario said to save it in a place you always see it.
Every day.
So, it was on my desktop.
Who did we send this to?
Just our publicity list.
So, journals, bloggers, media types.
Not Nolan Elias.
Please tell me not Nolan Elias?
Nolan Elias.
No!
He's the best journalist in the country.
Now he'll never take me seriously.
How do we retract it?
I can recall the email if they haven't opened it.
Except, a lot of people just opened it.
Angelina: Is Jackson Valentine in?
Yes, it's urgent.
Angelina Robinson.
What's it about?
His engagement.
Another delivery.
Hello? Hello!
Here you go.
I correct it, but it just keeps coming back like a mosquito.
And every time I try to reach his assistant,
his people think I'm some gossip columnist
trying to get an interview.
I swear, the paparazzi followed me here.
We need him to make a statement
before this place turns into a garden centre.
You know how my Uncle Lou is a livery driver
out of Hayworth Airport?
Well, one of the guys he works with told my cousin Joey
that he once picked up the sister from this private jet

And drove her back to this mansion in Edgeport.
♪
You sure you don't want to just see
if he'd be up for marrying you?
Staff member: May I help?
Yes, hi.
We have a meeting to discuss your publicity needs.
Fake it till you make it.
Staff member: I'm sorry, but we're not expecting anyone.
I'm not dealing with these people.
Are you sure?
Because the person I arranged it with was very interested
in the little publicity problem you're having
concerning a certain black sheep
with the supposed sheep's fiancée.
Thank you.
I am so glad you're here.
You are?
Oh yeah, our communications platforms are great
but nothing beats the real thing.
Exactly.
Give me a handwritten letter any day.
You're much more positive about this than I expected.
Well, unlike my father I am very positive
about the direction we're moving.
So, we just need you to make an official statement
of retraction.
Of retraction? No, no, no, no.
We don't retract now.
We don't?
Think of this as a slow roll out.
You know, we let the story build momentum
because, at the end of the day,
we want people to know who you are,
because what you do, it's amazing.
It is a very special business.
But shouldn't we do something about the engagement?
Engagement?
Is that a sort of new trendy term for funding a start-up?
Yeah, I guess theoretically we are,
yeah, sure, we're engaging in your, in your bus...
What a minute, are you Miss Maritime?
Yes!
I mean, no. But, yes.
I thought you looked familiar,
I just couldn't place you from where.
You're missing the gown and where's Mr. Maritime?
There is no Mr. Maritime.
Well, I mean, you're Mr. Maritime.
Right.
We were manifesting with a photoshoot.
We want to start hosting weddings.
Live your dream life. It really works.
She attached the wrong file.
So we were hoping you'd write a statement.
Just to clear the air.
I was wondering why you were plastering
this picture of us everywhere.
Oh, it wasn't me.
That's why we wanted you to step in.
You have a lot of followers.
And we wanted publicity but not this kind of publicity.
No, you're right. You're right.
I mean, I mean with my current business affairs,
it's best just to kill a frivolous story like this
before it gets out of hand,
so I will let my publicist know and it will be gone.
I mean, I wouldn't call it completely frivolous.
Ok, sorry, not, not frivolous, just,
it's a little out there.
Oh, yes. It's out there.
For someone as special and revered as you to be
paired up with someone like me.
Yeah.
I'll let you issue the statement.
I have to go help our lowly team of commoners
sweep the floor of our shabby museum.
I'd say more quaint than shabby, but I love this.
-Thank you. -It's just...
Ok.

Voicemail: You have one new voice message.
Hi, I'm looking for Luna.
It's Nolan Elias from the Island Post Magazine.
I can't believe you're getting married to Jackson Valentine.
Congratulations.
Anyway, I thought there might be a story there
with you doing it at the museum.
Call me, or shoot me an email at NolanElias@swifty-mail.com.
Take care!
Oh.
Such a shame.
Too bad for the best journalist,
my imaginary wedding isn't actually happening.
Or, imagine the real publicity.
Our own father is refusing to endorse me.
You had to know that?
Of course I knew that,
but I didn't know that you were counting on Dad's vote.
Why would our father vote for you when you've shown
absolutely no interest in the future of this company?
The ideas I'm proposing would bring us into the future.
Doesn't come across that way.
Why?
Because I'm not in some perfect relationship
or I don't have a little electric toothbrush
thinga-ma-bobs dangling out of my ears?
You know what?
I have to admit, I agree with Dad.
But the only person who seems to matter to you is you.
You have no interest in inheriting this company
and passing it on to your children.
You're this rogue bachelor with rogue ideas
and it would take a PR miracle
for you to change your image
and sway Dad's or anyone else's vote.
Wow. Ok, thank you, sis.
No, no, no. Actually, thank you.
Yeah. Thank you, thank you!
Nice to see you again, Nolan.
You too, Luna. So this is the museum.
So, what do you think?
You could focus on how the old boathouse
was gonna be demolished and my dad and his friends
formed the Preservation Society.
Which later became this museum.
Or the pirate exhibition is always a crowd pleaser.
And the wedding?
Oh. Like I said over the phone, there is no engagement.
But the museum, you said you'd love to check it out.
I thought you could still run a piece on it.
Yeah, sorry, Luna.
I wish I could but it's just not the kind of thing
my editor would go for.
I know you said you're retracting your press release,
but I see that all the time with society pages.
Secret weddings, someone leaks an invitation,
or the bride is marrying into that world
and has no idea about keeping on the down low so she retracts.
Nope.
Just me.
And these old boats.
Luna, I just got a call from...
Oh, he's here.
Hey, honey. How are you?
-Hey! -Hey.
Nolan Elias. Been a minute. Good to see you, bud.
It has.
Wow, well, I trust you heard the news.
She's a keeper, this one.
I was just saying to Nolan there is no wedding.
-Is that what she told you? -Yeah.
-Come on. -I did wonder.
It would make a great story. Jackson Valentine.
The world has been waiting for him,
for you, to settle down.
Well, isn't it about time they knew that I was capable of it.
Would you excuse us a minute?
Just a second.
What are you doing?
Ok, hear me out.
You said that you could use the publicity, right?
And I could use a bit of a public image overhaul.
We can't just pretend we're engaged.
Why not?
Let this guy write his story, it gets published,
we both get what we want
and then we have a very public break up.
Boom. Even more publicity, right?
This is completely unethical. I know this reporter.
He's an old friend of mine.
Then you can tell your old friend afterward.
Luna, this is the way of the world.
Not my world.
As far as I can see, your world might not exist
in a couple weeks without a mega publicity push.
There are other ways.
Well, I think that a million Jackson Valentine followers
say this is a pretty good one.
What do you say? Will you marry me?
Get up! Get up!
Fine.
But just until the article comes out.
And until then we don't tell a soul.
Deal.
Oh, so sorry about that.
My fiancée needed some convincing.
She's not used to the limelight.
-Mom. -Fiancée? You're engaged?
It's, uh, ok, Mom.
You don't have to keep it secret anymore.
She's so loyal.
Fiercely loyal.
Right. What a relief to say it out loud.
My future son-in-law is Jackson Valentine.
Mom.
Oh, it's so good to see you. How are you?
So, you'll do the article?
Better. We'll do an exclusive.
Super.
Why don't we sit down sometime next week?
Sounds great.
A weekend feature on us.
-Wow. -Wow.
Wow.
I bet everyone's dying for the inside scoop.
Maybe you can fill me in over lunch?
Garlic knots from Sunflower, Chicken Francese, arancini...
Mom. Stop.
Stop what? I'm putting out the food.
Jackson, you have to try some. It's the best.
We go there once a week.
I know you're mad. You're doing the food thing.
When she talks about food and won't look you in the eye.
Hm.
I'm not mad.
I guess, when you're dating a celebrity
you have to have your secrets.
Blood is thicker than water.
I would have thought you could at least tell me.
I'm good at keeping secrets.
Look how good I played along with that reporter.
Mom, it's not like that.
I don't see what else it could be.
When your own daughter doesn't say a word
about her secret life.
Granted, I was out of town with Dominic.
Out of sight out of mind, I guess.
Oh, you know, uh, it's, it's all my fault.
Actually, you know, she, she wanted to tell you.
In fact, she begged me to let her tell you
but we wanted to wait until lobster night.
Yeah, when we would just tell everyone as one big family.
Lobster night?
Yeah.
You know how much I love lobster.
This is wonderful.
My baby's getting married!
Oh, I'm so happy. I'm so happy.
Let's eat, let's eat, let's eat!
Thank you, again, for all the food, Mrs. Morelli.
Oh, please. Call me mom.
I'll see you both at lobster night! Woo!
Lobster night?
Yeah, what?
Isn't that what you nautical types do?
We agreed this was going no further
than you, me and Nolan Elias.
Wait, then why did you encourage me to bring my parents into it?
When did I do that?
When you were doing the whole like, mm...
If you got off your phone and spent more time interacting
with actual humans, you might be better at reading eyebrows.
Look, could you not see that her heart was shattering
into a million pieces on the museum floor?
'Cause her only daughter got engaged
without sharing it with her.
Ok, but I think I came up with the perfect excuse.
Plus, wouldn't it look a little suspicious
if my own parents didn't know about our engagement?
Fine.
Your parents and then no one else.
Ok.
♪
And your job is...?
CEO I guess? You taking notes?
Just being prepared.
How long would you say we've been together?
Four months.
You think you'd know me well enough to marry me
after just four months?
I think I would know after four minutes,
if I had a future with someone.
After four minutes, yeah.
Are you sure this isn't going a little far?
Can you even return an engagement ring?
They're expensive.
I know, but what's the first thing that someone does
when a woman says she's engaged.
They look at her hand.
Don't you think a real ring takes it to another level?
I hear you.
I do, but would not having a ring
bring up even more questions?
Which would lead to even more lies.
We, we want to be convincing, right?
I guess a ring keeps it simple.
Yeah.
Well, if it isn't the most beautiful young lady
on the island and her fiancé.
You know how it works is you buy the ring before you propose?
Oh, well look, sometimes the spirit moves you
and you don't have all your ducks in a row.
Yeah.
Hi Dominic. How are you?
Jackson, this is Dominic, my mom's...
I'm the famous boyfriend.
You know, she doesn't want to meddle,
but before you splash out here, I know your mother has an idea.
Mom, I can't.
You must.
No, Mom. It's yours.
I want you to have it.
I've had a few years to think about this and I told myself,
if she ever gets married, I want her to wear this.
What good is it doing me?
Dad gave it to you, Mom.
Sweetie, I haven't worn it in years.
You should have it.
And come on, you love old things.
I said no.
This is about Dominic, isn't it?
You've never warmed to him.
You know, he's been very good to me.
It's not about him.
Why do you always bring Dominic into things
that are between you and me?
You just don't get it.
This is important. This is serious.
Look, Mom, it's not real.
Of course it's real, it's platinum.
No, I mean our love. Jackson and me.
Nonsense.
Look, I know you like your privacy and I've been trying
to respect that and give you your space,
but you can't dismiss what you're feeling
just because other people want to share in your joy.
This is a time for family and we are all we have.
It's beautiful.
They demolished the old lighthouse
and the boat yard was next.
But, my dad organized local residents.
Wow.
They fought and won.
Good for them.
They set up a preservation society,
which later became the museum.
Huh.
Do you want a pen?
What for?
To write this down.
No, it's all up here.
So, if Nolan asks you anything about where I'd rather be,
this is it.
We have some original newspapers dating back to 1851.
Did you ever think of updating?
I mean, you can get this whole collection put on a server, and...
And whatever we couldn't source,
we managed to get on microfiche.
Microfiche?
Yeah, it's like a scanned image of a newspaper
or a picture of the original document.
I know what it is.
Wait, they still do that? In the 21st century?
Not every archive has had the ability
to convert their film to digital images.
All I can say is thank goodness.
Can you believe someone wanted to throw these away?
No.
Yeah. I rescued them from a local library.
Wow. You really do love microfiche.
I could do this all day.
But we won't, right? We'll just kind of... I'm joking.
You know what?
I've got a museum to run.
Well you, you want me to read all this?
This is my passion.
You can't be my fiancé without knowing my passion.
Ok.
Well then it's only fair that you know mine.
Come on. Dig in.
You're scared to get your hands dirty?
What do we have here?
So, how did you become an ocean crusader?
Same as a lot of things I support.
It all started by watching
a couple really powerful documentaries.
It went from there.
I've never really liked the attention that I got
from being a Valentine.
Then I realized that you can use it as a commodity.
You can use it to do things.
Ideally, meaningful things.
Must be pretty tough for you to live a normal life.
People seem to be more intrigued
whenever there is a pretty woman around.
Are there a lot of pretty women?
No, there are not.
Too busy to settle down?
No, just haven't found the right woman to settle down with.
I never really felt like anyone was gonna make
a better man out of me.
What about you?
You ever have time to tear yourself away
from the paper mites?
Running the museum takes up most of my time.
I mean, I dated on and off.
The truth is, I haven't really wanted anything to come of it.
Ever since my dad died three years ago,
I don't think my heart could handle it
if something didn't work out.
The necklace.
He has the other one.
Two ships, he used to say.
We just didn't have long enough.
I'm really sorry about your dad.
Thanks.
Hey, question for you as president
of the so important that you need ear thingies society.
I'm listening, on my ear thingies, in fact.
Of course.
Do you think that the end always justifies the means?
Like in business, I mean.
Well, that depends on the means.
If the deal looks good and it's for a good cause,
yeah, I'm open to shades of grey.
Why? What's happening with your Ocean Can,
is it drifting out to sea?
Uh, yeah, I mean, you know how these things can go.
So listen, can you pick up some lobsters for tomorrow night?
Jackson Valentine, what are you up to?
Nothing.
I just want to have a nice dinner.
Ok, you haven't had dinner with Mom and Dad in three months
and now suddenly you want to join us for lobster night?
Is this part of your get Dad to vote for me plan?
No, of course not.
I just... I've got something on my mind.
I'm intrigued and excited to see you.
Dad'll be over the moon.
No, no, no. Don't tell anyone. Just keep it a secret.
So, lobsters? Maybe some corn.
Get your own corn.
♪
That is some house.
Don't fawn over them. And don't get too chatty.
We're staying for an hour, max.
Who's fawning?
He's just making an observation.
And remember to act surprised.
You know, all you need is one of those
big yellow rubber raincoats like the guy on the fish stick box
and you'd be ready for the rough seas.
You said lobster night.
This is what you wear to lobster night.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Look at this place.
No wonder your sister requested lobster.
-What a lovely surprise. -Hi Mom.
Did somebody say surprise?
You know, yes.
I actually have an announcement to make.
This is Luna, my fiancée.
What a surprise!
Ohh!
Uh, well, congratulations.
Thanks, Mom.
You look so familiar.
Does she?
I get that a lot.
How did you two meet?
-On the docks. -Outside my museum.
By the docks right outside my museum.
Luna runs a Maritime museum.
She's actually written a book about our local history.
Oh, I'd love to read it.
I head up our publishing division.
We started with e-books
but these days three-quarters of our titles go to print.
Sure, maybe. When it's finished.
Well, I think a toast is in order.
Yes, a toast to the surprising turn of events.
Yes, to the first step on the road to being a family man.
I bet you never thought you'd see the day.
Well, frankly, I...
To Luna and Jackson.
Yes.
You can almost see the old lookout from here.
My dad was heartbroken when they demolished the old lighthouse.
So, he petitioned the town to mark the spot where it stood.
Part of the deal was once a month they'd cast a light
in the old lookout to honor the way the lighthouse
used to help guide ships home.
Of course ships couldn't always trust them.
Yes. There were folks known as the "wreckers".
The most famous one being?
Jeremiah Smith.
Legend has it, he'd build these huge fires on the beach
that ships would mistake for a lighthouse.
Luring them ashore, so when they get stuck on the sandbar,
he'd run out to help them.
Or so they thought.
And steal their goods?
The cheek!
He might be an urban myth though.
I like the theory that he was real but not the worst of them.
Just got the most publicity.
Sounds familiar.
Whatever the truth is, I still believe
you can trust a lighthouse to help guide you home.
How do you know so much about the wreckers?
Oh, that lighthouse was part of our view here for years
and when they wanted to shut down the old boathouse,
we did some work with the preservation society.
So did my dad.
Gus wouldn't back down to those developers.
I have some vintage postcards
that I can part with for your museum.
They're very rare.
I... I couldn't possibly.
Of course you can.
Consider them an engagement gift.
Um, I should go.
But we're all having such a nice time.
I just remembered that I have to paint
one of the exhibition spaces.
We didn't even get to hear how Jackson proposed.
It's really not that exciting of a story.
Totally, ho-hum.

Yep.

We, we have.
We have.

Wow. We'll be sisters.
Right.

How could he not tell me his sister was coming?
And what does he have against his parents anyway?
I knew he was spoilt.
What?
She's rich and important, so of course the job would go to her.

for my fake wedding?
When I get married for real
you will be my first and only choice.

What?
She's actually outside.
Angelina!
Don't let her run away with the planning.

Ah.
Jackson and I have a lot in common.
Oh, like what?
The ocean.
And we both like helping people.
Everybody likes helping people. It's human nature.
And family matters to both of us.
He said that?
Yes, he did. He, he said that.
If you don't start taking this act seriously
we're gonna tank the interview.
I am taking this seriously.

It was in one of the folders.
No, I definitely did not want you to read it.

Ok, just gonna spritz?
Spritz away.
Spritz and swish. All right.
This was my dad's. He restored it.
Everyone else saw a piece of scrap.
He saw a project.
Wow. He really was great.
He spent 30 years teaching history.
The museum and this boat were his hobby on the weekend.
Or whenever he got time off.
He never got a chance to finish it.
So, I dusted off his plans
and I've been working on it little by little.
He loved old things.
Is that why you're so interested in history?
Yeah.
If people could see how much of what we love now
comes from the past,
maybe they'd work a little harder

An engagement party. An actual, real event.
Well, on the bright side,

These are real people. Not chit-chat followers, ok?
I understand where you're coming from,
but we've made it this far

Deceiving a handful of people,
which is still definitely not ok, is different
than hosting an entire celebration of that deception.
People will bring us gifts.
Which only helps us pass the test. Right?
Imagine all the good this article will do the museum
once it comes out.
I have to tell her.
Then I'm gonna tell my family too.
You can't tell them.
Cracks will appear.
Yeah, but it would be off

The more people we bring in on it
the more lies we're asking people to tell.
All right.
We have to keep this thing small.
Then it's only fair to everyone

Mm. They just keep coming.
How will we choose when they're all so good?
Oh, I'm so happy that they're going to cater.
It's like old times.
About the party.
I came here because I thought it would be better...
You just can't choose from an emailed menu, right?
And isn't this so lovely? It's just...
It's just that...

The first one was a complete surprise.
I found it about three weeks after his funeral.
Fell out of one of my favorite books.
Then a few weeks later,
I was rearranging some artifacts in a display
and found another one.
That's such a nice thing to do.
After a few months I stopped finding them.
That was it.
So, I keep them exactly where I found them.

Dad...
You know, I remember that lighthouse.
I must have been five or six
and you, and Mom, and Posey, you wanted to climb to the top.
It looked like the stairs went on forever.
Sure enough, about 50 steps up, my legs turned to Jell-O.
Couldn't make it any further. I started to cry.
Eventually you all realized that I was no longer behind you
and Mom started yelling
and Posey started telling me to muster.
And I froze and then I heard steps
coming down those metal stairs.
I pulled my head out of my hands
and I realized that they were yours.
You went up and down those stairs twice that day.
You even carried me when I didn't think
that I could make it any further.
I guess I hoped that even if they tore that lighthouse down,
you still would be the father that would look after me.
I have to admit,
at first I didn't believe that Jackson was engaged.
Now, not that you're not fabulous,
don't get me wrong.
But, I was worried that he was messing with you,
but I can tell he really likes you,
and I can tell you like him,

Your writing is so engaging though, Luna.
It's so... You're as great as Imogene Heron.
Maybe even better.
I haven't even written the last chapter.
You know, I have some ideas about that.
What if you used it as an opportunity

About preserving history for future generations,
starting with ocean cleanup.

Not for a long time.
Ever since I stopped writing,
when the museum started taking up more and more of my time.
There's something else I haven't been seeing.
You've always been the real maid of honor.
Not just for me.
But for the Maritime Museum.
You have never once faked anything about your passion
for my father's museum.
For your museum.
If I'm gonna finish that last chapter
and get it back to my publisher,
I'm going to need a lot more time to write.
Luna...
I hope you'll come to my book event.
Well, actually you're kind of running it.
If you're up to it.
Yes! Yes!
Yes!
We're manifesting.

I don't think I've ever seen you like this.
Why don't you just call her?
I can't. It's totally backfired.
Everyone hates me.
That... that journalist won't even write about me anymore.
I thought you said you wanted to do right, not be right.
Hey, Dad.
So look, um, until I met Luna
I never understood the importance of legacy.
Like our family business.
I've decided to give up on the board seat.
Yeah, I have some other ideas that I want to pursue
and I might make the side company
more of a front and center kind of thing.
I appreciate that.
The thing is, I might have backed you in the end.
I've been watching you, and I realized if I could feel
even half as passionately as you do
about the things you believe in
then well, maybe the bottom line isn't so important.
Things are going well enough
that maybe it's time to think like the old days.
Like with the lighthouse.
Here's the thing, though.
You've always put your ideas above all else,
and at times it has cost you.
I know.
The question is, can you let those go a little?
Start thinking like a businessman?
You're finally willing to give the start-ups a chance?
Dad, with our technology, they will succeed.
I'm talking the Ocean Can, and Sea Legacy, Coral Caring.
The research and projections that I have are amazing.
They really are.
I was talking about the girl.
Oh.

Posey.
You know, I was only pushing you because I believe in you.
But I'm also sort of known for my pushiness.
Even with a push, I guess I wasn't ready to hear it.
Well, lucky for me, now you are.
I'm sorry about you and Jack, but if it's all right by you,
I was wondering if you'd still like to be sisters.
Hi.
Welcome, everyone.
Before we begin our reading of "Through the Water",
we have an introduction
from the author writing the book's forward,
Ms. Imogene Heron.
It's no mean feat that a work of non-fiction
has taken me through the gamut of emotions.
All while informing me of our precious local history.
I sincerely congratulate Luna on this special book
and I look forward to seeing it in print soon.
Now, without further ado,
I give you author and historian, Luna Morelli.
I've always said history is important
because it makes you aware of all the precious things
you need to hold onto.
But now I know, if you cling too tightly to the past,
you risk missing what's right in front of you,
in the here and now.
I've kept this book buried in a drawer for years
because I was afraid, taking time away from this museum.
And I didn't know how it would end.
A really good friend tried to tell me this
and I wouldn't listen.
History isn't just in my hands, it's in all our hands.
I know it now.
Change will come.
And our treasures won't be lost.
Here, here.
From now on, these treasures
will be in the hands of Ms. Angelina Robinson.
Angelina has been...
-Is that a light?
Angelina has been the backbone...
Excuse me.
Time and tide wait for no man.

So, when did you know?
It was when you cried over the microfiche.
It was when you asked me to marry you, holding a clam shell.
It's when you wrote the best history book
that I've ever read.
It was when you asked to get to know my dad.
