Oh!
- Ms. O'Brien, this is the California
Water and Power Company.
We called multiple times to remind you
- that you are months behind-- - Thank you for contacting
Lucky Clover Cosmetics.
Rosie Ann cannot take your call right now.
Please leave a message after the tone.
- Beep. - Everyone has to pay their--
Sorry I'm late. Sorry.

I'm just glad you're here.
- Well, if you must know, I got stuck printing menus
for Mr. Liu's restaurant, and the printer jammed,
and it was a whole thing.
But check it out, though-- 50% off dumplings.
- Oh, do you think the water company will accept
dumpling vouchers in lieu of payment?
- [scoffs] If they were that awesome, they would.
Besides, you won't have to worry
about little things like utility bills
once you get that investment.
The meeting's today, right?
- Ugh, if they invest in Lucky Clover, in me.
There's no guarantee.
- Of course they'll invest. You're spectacular.
Yeah, a spectacular disaster.
I have faith in you.
- You just wanna be able to quit your job
at Auntie's print shop. Mm?
- I want to be able to take my place
alongside my bestie as the mastermind
behind Pasadena's hottest new makeup company in--
no, the world's hottest new makeup company.
All right, if I could quit my day job,
that would be awesome,
despite losing 50% off dumplings for life?

No one can do what you do.

So what's his name?
Arthur.
I met him on an app.
Can you believe it? At my age?
- Everybody deserves a bit of luck in love.
I don't know.
Did I tell you that I saw Matthew
and his new girlfriend on Facebook?
She's only a few years older than Annie.
- Don't you spend another second thinking about your ex.
Maybe I should cancel.
- Mm-mm. - I should cancel tonight.
Absolutely not.
- [sighs] I haven't been on a date in 20 years.
What was I thinking?
- That you're a super-hot woman whose boneheaded ex-husband
left because he's clearly having
- some sort of midlife crisis. - And...
that the best years of your life are ahead of you.

Lucky Clover is about more than just makeup.
It's about heart.
Makeup isn't just about looking good,
it is about how it makes you feel.
When you wear a glossy rose lipstick
with a jasmine wax base, it can give you
that little extra pep in your meeting with your boss.
Or a creamy, satin champagne eye shadow
can effortlessly transport you from a hectic day
in the office to your special date.
Lucky Clover is about confidence, about self-belief.
Our products enable people to go out into the world
and be their best selves, to achieve their dreams.
How?
By using only organically grown and locally sourced ingredients
and by using generations of family knowledge
to mix things in just the right way
to create something completely unique.
But I'm a small company.
And this...this is a big world.
I need your investment to help me get to that next level,
to share the joy of Lucky Clover with more people,
to get into the shelves of department stores like Belles.
If you are willing to invest, I can assure you,
I am confident we will be richly rewarded.
And you will not just be supporting me.
You will be supporting every person who uses my products.
You will be uplifting a community.
- And, uh, what are your fiscal projections
for the first three quarters?
Projections?
- Mm-hmm.
- Um--
I'm sold.
How can anyone turn down a pitch like that?
Please, join me in my office.
Yeah, pack it up. Let's go.

Thank you so much. Mr. Verner, I am so excited.

That article in the newspaper piqued my interest,
and I am delighted that you decided to meet with us.
We want to do nothing but help you succeed.
That's what we do here.
We invest in the future.
[laughs]
However, I do have a few caveats.
Ultimately, this is a business.
So we need to make sure that you've got what it takes
to really scale the brand.
Okay. Sure.
I'll do whatever you--
- Um, I've arranged a pitch with Beatrice Harrington,
the owner of Belles.
[laughs] Yeah.
She's an old friend, and someone you, yourself,
have expressed interest in.
She's coming into town for the Style Cosmetic Expo
in a few weeks, and she has agreed
to allow us to pitch her your brand.
- [giddy laugh] - If you can convince her
to place Lucky Clover products in her stores,
the investment is yours.
You don't seem thrilled.
- No, I am. I am so excited.
Um...
Oh, it's just-- [sighs]
- You were banking on the money?
Yeah, just to tide us over.
- Well, here's my second caveat.
While you undoubtedly have passion,

how we would be happy to provide a portion
of the investment, just to smooth things over

maybe even offer some help, and to make sure that
you're fully prepped for the meeting with Harrington.

This could be a huge asset to our portfolio.
And that is why I'm sending you.

Not quite.
I have to prepare a pitch for Beatrice Harrington.

- Well, it's a good thing it's no longer your company.
What?
- That meeting could not have gone better.
She loved the product.
She wants to buy and distribute it,
and we get to launch it
at the country's largest cosmetic expo tomorrow.
I refuse to let that happen.
My company is based off of natural ingredients.
It's based off of love and care and people.
This is--I don't want your investment
if this is what you're gonna do.
Well, Rosie Ann,
I'm afraid you no longer have a say in the matter.
What is he talking about?
- This is the contract you signed.
Unbelievably, you don't appear to have read it.
Because if you had, you would know that you've signed away
all rights of refusal and, um, oh, yes,
the controlling portion of your shares.
Lucky Clover is, in essence, our company now.
Isn't that right, Simon?
- Look, Rosie Ann, this isn't as bad as it sounds, okay?
We can work something out.

This has the potential to make you a very rich woman.

Plus, you're still free to be creative,

I want no part of this.
- Rosie Ann, you need to understand something.
Whether or not you come tomorrow is irrelevant.
The launch is happening tomorrow regardless.
This is our company.
We would like very much to keep you on as ambassador,
leading the presentation.
But if you choose not to, we will just find someone else
and buy out the rest of your shares.
These are my creations.
This is my life.
These are our creations now.
And thanks to Simon, we have detailed notes
of every formula you've made.
The presentation is tomorrow at noon.
It's up to you.
Rosie Ann,
this is what you've always wanted.
Your products everywhere, a global brand.
- You haven't heard a thing that I've said.
Don't worry, Simon.
You've made the right choice.
Partner.
- Okay. We're not gonna give up.
Here, drink some of that.
Look, there's gotta be a way
that we can figure this out, all right?
Murray. Murray's back from Ireland.
Maybe we should give him a call.
- I can't believe I was so stupid.
You're not stupid, okay?
You're trusting. It's not a fault.
I should have given you better advice.
[phone ringing]
What are you gonna do?
- I feel like I don't have a choice.
I either what, go with them, take their money,
and lose everything,
or fight them and still lose everything?
- I can't wait to hear about the pitch.
I have some exciting news.
Oh, Rosie Ann, what's happened?
They tricked her.
The contract Simon gave her, well, she--
she lost control of the company.
What?
- They want me to stay on as ambassador.
Can you believe that?
Sara, I'm so sorry.
I think the Lucky Clover we know is done.
I really am cursed.
- You're not cursed. It's just a story.
Tell that to my life.
You listen to me, young lady.
You are a lucky charm to everyone around you,
but not because of some story.
You're a good person with a good heart.
What about the curse?
Rosie Ann,
you need to stop hiding behind this curse thing.
Sure you've had some bad luck, but we all have.
That doesn't mean you shouldn't try again.
Sara's right.
Everyone deserves luck in love, Rosie Ann, including you.
You're my daughter and her granddaughter, okay?
We believe in you.
What if I can't?
I can't even help you keep your café open.
- Got some good news on that front.
What?
- Well, Simon popped in yesterday,
said he spoke to his friends down in city hall.
It turns out this place can be classed as a heritage site.
So what does that mean?
- Well, it means they can't tear it down,
regardless if they buy up the building.
- You get to keep your café open?
- And there's nothing they can do about it.
And Simon did this?
Yep.
Turns out you're a good influence.
Maybe not enough.
Hey, Mei.
So about me quitting, uh, I didn't mean it.
I just--I went kind of crazy, you know,
because I didn't wanna be stuck here like you.

doesn't mean you don't knock.
- What we're doing to Rosie Ann and Lucky Clover
is not right.
- There is no right or wrong here, Simon.
This is simply business.
- But even from that perspective,
it doesn't make sense.
Our whole pitch to Harrington was that
it was Rosie Ann's idea, her unique take on it.
Without her, there's no future in the business.
But there is profit.
We control the company.
And there's enough leverage and goodwill
to make this modest startup into a global brand.
The customers buy into the idea
that everything is unique and handmade.
They don't need to know the fussy details.
They're not customers.
They're friends.

You know what, Verner?
You have taught me something.
When this whole thing started,
you wanted me to look over Rosie Ann.
You said I needed to get out from behind my computer,
go meet people face to face, look them in the eyes
and make gut judgments, just like you did
when you started out, right?
Well, I see you, Verner.
I see a frustrated and lonely man
who's spent all of his time chasing profits.
But he's forgot the purpose of 'em.
You've enriched your life in all the wrong ways,
and now you're withering on the vine,
and I'm not gonna wither away with you.
This is over, Verner.
I quit.
Rosie Ann!
Please, if you're in there, I-- I wanna talk to you.
Look, you were right.
I did know about the contract, and I could have told you.
I didn't. I thought we would work it out.
And I never thought that Verner would take it this far.
Rosie Ann, I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry, but--
Look, for what it's worth, I quit.
If you just give me some more time,
I think I know a way we can fix this.
