[chickens cluck]
With each ingredient
that I add into the mix,
I give it just a little extra love.
What do you mean?
Well, this job comes with a lot of responsibility.
-It does? -Uh-hmm.
We're not just feeding people's bellies--
[chuckles]
--we're feeding their souls.
What do you mean?
Well, okay, for example,
I'm gonna take this flour here and I'm gonna say
"Flour, fill this pie
with joy and happiness
and share that gift with all who enjoy it."
Now, do you remember what kind of cherries
make the sweetest cherry pie?
Oh, I know. Bing cherries.
That's right.
And do you know that no one knows
the secret ingredient of Pearl's famous cherry pie?
Only you.
-Oh, you got that? -Yup.
[mom] Just like I showed you.
Very nice.
Ooh. Look at that.
This is fun.
I love you, Mama.
I love you too, Katie Pie.
[upbeat music]
Kate, table five is complaining
about the air conditioner again.
Uh, sorry. I'll be right there.
[sighs]
Wish you were here.
[upbeat music]
Your sugar-free vanilla oat milk cappuccino, sir.
-Extra hot just how you like it. -[exhales]
A very busy office of Ellis & Son,
but really just son, in my humble opinion,
-is booming this morning. -Any messages?
Yes. Cynthia from the Nob Hill project
called with a counter.
Your trainer needs to reschedule tonight's session.
-He's on a juice cleanse. -Okay.
Marcy wants to make an offer on the Marin complex.
The vet called. Something about your dog
needing his acupuncture herbs refilled.
-Right. -Oh, and your father called.
My father?
He seemed pleasant.
Have you even spoken to him
since your grandfather's funeral?
No.
Better load up on that then.
[sighs]
[phone rings]
-This is Brad. -Brad?
Thought you hated being called Brad.
[Bradford] Drew! Long time no speak.
Yeah, Bradford was starting to sound kind of,
uh, suffocating, don't you think?
I'm definitely more of a Brad now.
Okay.
[Bradford] Great to hear your voice, son.
I would love for you to come visit one day.
Oh, Dad, I would love to, but I...
the whole office would just--
Just fall apart if you leave.
I understand.
Well, I won't keep you. I just wanted
to let you know that I had a meeting
with your grandpa's attorneys yesterday.
Hmm. Okay.
We reviewed his will, went over what
some of his final wishes were.
He left something for you.
He did?
All of the info should be in your inbox.
I do know that this is a special
and sacred gift from your grandpa.
He really wanted you, as his only grandson,
to have this.
I really appreciate you saying that, Dad.
That being said,
my thought is that
you will wanna sell this off immediately.
Cedar Creek.
[Bradford] Your grandpa's favorite place.
[Drew] This is a million miles away.
Well, unfortunately, this require your going there
to evaluate the land and meet with his estate planner.
This is not something that can be done remotely.
[Drew] Dad, sadly, I don't really have the time for this.
I'm finishing up a lot of really big deals right now.
[Bradford] Listen, all the info is in your email.
You let me know if you have any questions.
I'll be around if you need anything.
[Drew] I have some questions, Dad.
I got some...hello?
Great.
[sighs]
Okay.
[Grandpa Frank] Drew, if you're reading this,
then that's very bad news for me.
Ever since you were a little boy...oh, shucks.
Even when you were in your mama's belly,
you have had my whole heart.
You hung the moon in all our eyes
and continue to make us all proud to this day.
Except for that one time, you stole your Dad's old Volvo
and tried to drive to Vegas.
-That wasn't your finest moment. -[chuckles]
[Grandpa Frank] There are two things that I loved
deeply in my life,
my family and Cedar Creek.
Cedar Creek?
[Grandpa Frank] Take care of them both for me when I'm gone.
And please remember what I've always told you, Drew.
It is the sweet, simple things of life
which are the real ones after all.
Love you kid, Grandpa Frank.
[Drew] I mean, a part of me wants to go
and honor my grandfather's wishes.
And the other part?
And the other part of me
is just so tired of my dad
just trying to control me.
[sighs]
Once he left the business,
I finally felt free
to be myself.
Able to make my own decisions.
I stepped outside of his shadow.
I must say, you have been a totally
different person since he retired.
In a good way.
Sounds like your grandfather must be very attached
to this place.
He said in his letter,
the two loves of his life
were his family
and Cedar Creek.
Do you want my opinion that you aren't asking for?
No. Never.
It sounds like you need to make
this decision on your own.
Go out there
and see what Cedar Creek is all about.
Hmm.
Excuse me. Would you mind storing this
-in your coat closet? -Oh, of course.
Thank you.
So are we heading home
or heading out today?
Heading out and straight back, immediately.
[chuckles] Fair enough.
Um, well, don't think
you're gonna be needing this where you're going.
You might wanna check the weather.
[Drew] Oh, you gotta be kidding me.
[airplane engine rumbles]
[GPS] Continue on the road ahead.
Uh, there is literally only road ahead.
[GPS] Prepare to make a left turn in 0.2 miles.
I'm not Einstein, lady, but there's factually
no left turn up ahead.
-[phone rings] -What?
Well, hello to you, too.
What do you want, Marcus?
[Marcus] Just making sure you arrived safely
before I head to Aspen.
Yeah, well, I'm somewhere between Roosterville Boulevard
and Tumbleweed Lane and my GPS is completely useless.
Sounds like you are in glamorous Cedar Creek.
Lucky me.
[upbeat music]
[bell tolls]
Hi. Can I help you?
Hey, there.
How we doing today?
Oh, I'm okay.
-Thank you for asking. -What can I get for you?
Oh, I would love an iced sugar-free vanilla oat milk
cappuccino, uh, with extra ice please.
[laughs]
What's so funny?
[Ricky] You're not from around here are you, honey?
Is it that obvious?
Well, how about my famous sweet tea?
We can pretend it's sugar-free
and I will throw in that extra ice for you.
-Sounds perfect. -Great.
[sniffs]
Hmm.
Wow.
This is the best smelling candle
I've ever smelled in my life.
Why, thank you.
I hand pour all our candles myself.
So impressive.
Actually, my apple-butter and pumpkin candle
just won first place at this year's harvest festival.
Here you go.
Thank you.
You know, I infuse them all
with real honeycrisp essential oils.
It gives it that authentic fall feeling.
Makes your house smell like a freshly baked apple pie.
-Wow. -Uh-hmm.
And you weren't kidding. This is incredible.
It's no oat milk latte.
-Well. I'm Drew. -Ricky Jensen.
It's nice to meet you, Drew.
Listen, anything you need while you're here
in Cedar Creek, you just let me know.
Well, thank you. I really appreciate that.
-Sure. -I'm actually here
for a short while though,
but I will be sure to circle back
for some more of this tea before I head home.
Oh, it's on me.
Consider it a welcome gift.
That is so kind of you.
One quick question actually,
could you direct me to the main part of the town?
The main part?
Honey, you're standing in it.
Oh. Wow.
Super quaint.
I like it.
-Thank you for the tea. -Uh-hmm. And...oh, oh!
-Oh. -Careful.
Okay.
-Oh, my gosh! -Oh, my--oh, my goodness!
I am so sorry.
It's okay. It's all right.
Let me get you some napkins.
No, no. It's fine.
You know, ma'am, it is very dangerous to walk and text.
I know you didn't just call me ma'am.
Miss.
Enjoy your tea, sir.
[chuckles]
She seems nice.

[bird caws]
[phone rings]
You get lost already?
[exhales] Marcus, thank goodness you answered.
[Marcus] At your service.
So this is a little embarrassing,
uh, and if you ever tell anyone,
I will tell everyone about the time
you needed your mom to pick you up
from our camping trip because you were too scared, okay?
Because of the bears, Drew!
You failed to mention the bears until we got there.
Plus, that was so long ago.
It was last summer. You were 31.
Okay. Okay.
What do you need?
I seemed to have run over a nail.
My dad taught me everything I know
about commercial real estate
but he failed somehow to teach me
your basic everyday skillset kind of stuff.
Why don't you just call AAA?
'Cause I'm in the middle of nowhere.
Copy you. I'm all over this.
First things first, do you happen to have YouTube
on your phone?
YouTube? You kidding me?
The tutorials on there are top notch.
I once learned how to draw a fennec fox
using only my left hand and food dye.
What is the point of that?
[Marcus] It's an exercise in the human brain.
Okay. We're veering off subject here.
Actually, Drew, if you remember,
I am not in fact left-handed.
Oh, my, Marcus!
-What? -[Drew] You have no clue
how to change a tire, do you?
I mean, I'm honored that you thought I did.
Okay.
Just do me a favor and call the Wander Inn on Oaks Road
and let them know that I will be checking in
later than expected.
That I can do.
How do you change a flat tire?
[GPS] Make a sharp left up ahead.
[sighs]
[upbeat music]
[Drew sighs]
[knocks on door]
[sighs]
What kind of hotel closes at 9 o'clock?
[chuckles]
[grunts]
[sighs]
I guess I needed my coat after all.
Perfect.
Just perfect.
[upbeat music]
[rooster crows]
[sighs]
[clears throat]
Morning.
Hey.
I remember you.
I'm sure you do.
I didn't really get the chance to apologize for yesterday.
I hope that stain came out and that your day
wasn't completely ruined.
Oh, it takes a lot more than that to ruin my day.
[chuckles]
-I'm Kate. -I'm Drew.
Nice to meet you.
So you live around here?
No, no. I'm in from Northern California.
I was supposed to stay at this inn last night
but the completely ill-advised owners
thought they could close at 9:00 PM,
so I camped out in my car.
You know, super convenient.
Hmm.
You are the completely ill-advised owner, aren't you?
In the flesh, yes.
Well, I did let my assistant know
to let you know that I would be arriving late, so...
And I told your assistant that I would leave you a key
in that key box right there.
Hmm.
Well, come on.
Let's get you checked in.
[Drew] This is a nice place you got here.
[Kate] Thanks.
Come on in.
Okay.
In this folder, you will find all the information
on the property and your key.
Perfect. Thank you.
I went ahead and put you in one of our biggest rooms
as a little apology for your check-in inconvenience.
I think you'll find it really comfortable.
Well, that already sounds like better accommodations
than my rental car.
Yeah. I'm sure.
There's already plenty of fresh towels and snacks,
water, fresh linens.
But if there's anything I forgot,
please feel free to let me know.
I'm just right across the way in the little guest house there.
Enjoy your stay at the Wander Inn.
Thank you so much.
Actually, there is one thing you can help me with.
What's that?
Can you recommend a place to eat around here?
I'm starving.
I think I know just the place.
This is a very difficult decision.
Everything looks so delicious.
Oh, yeah, well, you can't go wrong.
I will have the Deluxe Farmhouse breakfast.
Egg-cellent choice.
Okay. He is cute, cute, cute.
Who?
Do not who me.
Table fifteen, young Brad Pitt, dimples for days.
You are definitely pregnant, woman.
Besides he's totally out of the question,
as I have a very strict policy,
I never date anyone who's staying at the inn.
Anyone who's staying at the inn.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. We all know.
Come on. Rules are made to be broken.
Just like live a little.
Besides, for all we know, he has a wife...
or a girlfriend.
Honey, you need to stop making excuses.
You can do this tough exterior for anyone else
but I know deep down inside,
you wanna find someone.
I want you to find someone.
Besides, when Mr. Dimples here
gets a taste of this
strudel cinnamon spice,
a la mode, ooh,
he's only gonna have eyes for one special baker.
You are seriously crazy.
Yeah.
[chuckles]
That was one of the best meals I've had in my whole life.
Oh, I'm so glad you liked it.
I'm not sure my pants are gonna fit tomorrow
but, uh, I know it was worth it.
Yeah, I can relate.
[chuckles]
Morning, Bree.
Hey, Mutt.
Morning, Katie.
Morning, Mutt. What am I getting you today?
Well, that depends on
what do we have for this month's specials?
Well, it's a work in progress.
Ah.
It's a little outside of my comfort zone.
-Oh, my word. -And it's a salted caramel
dark chocolate pie.
I can't decide if she needs a buttercream topping
or a vanilla bean whip,
or maybe I skip the whip
and I just top it with a little fleur de sel.
It's a fancy word for salt.
Is that a chocolate cookie crumb crust?
It sure is.
You know, the secret to this one is I don't bake it.
I use a special layering process
where I very strategically freeze each layer one by one.
I tell you what, you order yourself
a nice big breakfast
and I'll cut you an extra-large piece
-so you could try it. -Yes, ma'am.
What did I tell you about calling me ma'am?
[chuckles]
Thank you for a delicious breakfast, Kate.
I'm just happy you enjoyed it.
Do you mind charging it to my room?
Of course. Have a great day.
Who was that?
Just somebody staying at the inn.
Huh.
What?
Oh, nothing. [chuckles]
Oh, I was hoping that you'd forget that.
Oh, I bet.
[upbeat music]
[GPS] Make a right in 0.3 miles.
[exhales]
[grunts]
Nice to meet you, Drew.
Thank you for coming all the way out here.
Yeah. Yeah. No problem.
Wow, you weren't kidding, this place really is gorgeous.
That's why I wanted you to see it for yourself.
You see this land really was
one of your grandfather's most prized possessions.
You mentioned over the phone
your plan is to sell the property.
Is that correct?
Yeah. No, most definitely.
I actually have a big client
who's ready to start a new development of homes
and we are prepared to open escrow immediately.
I wish it were that easy.
-What do you mean? -You see, your grandfather
owns a rather large area of land.
Uh-hmm.
Approximately 1,500 acres.
[whistles]
Not all that land is dirt.
Okay. So what?
There's a couple of farms or something?
A few extra pigs that needs some shuffling around?
What?
There are a few farms,
but we're also looking at some
rather popular local establishments.
Uh-hmm.
I don't know if the owners are looking to sell.
It's certainly worth a discussion.
The Wander Inn.
I'm sorry?
Nothing. Uh, nothing at all.
Um...thank you for the info.
I will be sure to let you know how I'd like to proceed.
No problem at all.
-You take your time with this. -Yeah.
This land has been in your family for generations.
It's no overnight decision.
Here's my card.
You call me when you're ready.
Thank you.
[Bree] You know, Jake thinks it's gonna be a boy.
I don't know what I'm gonna do with a boy.
Boys are dirty.
They like cars and monster trucks.
What do I know about trucks?
[chuckles]
I just always saw myself as a girl mama.
My mom always said as long as the baby's healthy,
that's really all that matters.
Yeah. Of course.
And that it's a girl.
[laughs]
Your mom always had the best advice, Katie.
I really miss that.
Yeah. I do too.
This place hasn't been the same without her, has it?
Nope. Really hasn't.
To be honest, nothing really has.
Well, lucky for us, there's a cute boy in town.
Oh, will you stop it with that?
You should invite him to the barbecue tomorrow.
Absolutely not.
[Bree] Why not?
Because he doesn't wanna come.
He's in the middle of nowhere doing Lord knows what.
He is probably bored and lonely.
Oh.
[Bree] Needing a friend.
-[chuckles] -Maybe a close companion.
[laughs]
You are unwell.
[laughs]
-Hi. -Hey, there.
Uh, sorry to bother you but you got a package.
That's weird.
No one even knows I'm staying here.
Well...
-Thank you. -[Kate] Yeah.
Uh, if you're not busy tonight,
we're having a barbeque at Pearl's.
Just super causal, but...
Fun.
-Really? -Yeah. I'd love to come.
Great.
Thanks for the invite.
I'll see you tonight.
Yeah.
[chuckles]
Marcus.
[upbeat music]
[sighs]
Waitress chic it is.
[Bree whistles]
-Oh, gosh. -[Bree] Oh, excuse me.
Someone is looking a little extra tonight.
Shh. Be quiet.
-Hi. -Hey.
Aw. Good to see you. It's been a while.
You got the smoker going?
I do. It's all ready for you out back.
All right.
Hey, babe, when you're done matchmaking,
can you give me a beer please?
Oh, sorry, sweetie. I clocked out already.
[chuckles] You guys are cute.
Yeah, I figure I only have a few more weeks
before I'm not his number one.
Might as well milk it while I can.
Oh, yeah, right.
You know you got one of the good ones.
-[Bree] I sure did. -[Kate] Uh-hmm.
-Hi. -Hi, Ricky.
Aw. Thanks for coming.
Thank you so much for having me.
I'll jump at any opportunity to eat your cooking.
Aw, well, what did you bring me here?
Okay. This is my latest creation.
-Uh-hmm. -It is a rose-scented candle
with amber and vanilla musk as the base notes.
Ooh.
Then I put real rose petals on top
to give it that something extra.
[gasps] Wow.
Ricky Jensen, I think this might be
one of your finest creations yet.
I'm so glad you like it.
I learned a long time ago never to bring anything edible.
[chuckles] That is very sweet of you.
But I hope you brought your appetite
because we have so much food.
-Oh, my God. -Your favorite wine, madam.
Mutt, that is sure sweet of you. Thank you.
And I guess I'll take madam over ma'am.
-Okay. -Thank you, Mutt.
[indistinct chatter]
-Wow. -Hey, there.
Looks like somebody went shopping.
Something like that. [chuckles]
I am loving this festive look in you, Drew.
Thank you.
Oh, I want you to meet my husband, Jake.
-Drew. -Jake.
-Nice to meet you. -Well,
if it isn't Mr. Oat Milk Latte himself.
-[laughter] -Of course you two
-know each another. -[Rickey] Oh, we sure do.
I've known Katie since she was a little baker in pigtails.
Yeah, Ricky used to babysit me
when my mama had late nights at the diner.
-We had a blast together. -[Kate] Uh-hmm.
The good old days.
Come on, Drew.
Let's get you something sugar-free
to go with that outfit.
-[chuckles] -Come on.
I would love another biscuit actually.
[indistinct chatter]
These ribs were out of this world, Katie.
Absolutely delicious.
Well, I'm happy you liked them, Mutt.
Yeah, as a matter of fact,
they're my Grandma Pearl's recipe.
Hmm, Grandma Pearl,
as in the Pearl?
Uh, yeah. The only and only.
She sure was something special.
Hey. So what is it that you do, Jake?
Oh, I work in law enforcement.
Let's just say you don't wanna be on Jake's bad side.
-[laughs] -[Ricky] No. Nope.
-[Mutt] Now, on the flip side-- -No.
--he's a great guy to have on speed dial.
[laughs]
Yeah, Jake is Cedar Creek's very own sheriff.
Well, when you put it like that, it sounds a little, uh...
Terrifying.
[laughter]
Okay, kids.
It is three-legged race time.
-All right. -[Bree] Oh.
Okay. I call being the judge.
-[Ricky] No. No. -[Kate] No, City Slicker.
You're not getting out of this one.
[upbeat music]
The winners of this race
will receive a gift certificate
for dinner for two
at Marcelo's Restaurant.
Jake, you better get me that dinner.
Oh, it's in the bag.
On your marks,
get set,
-go! -[Ricky] Come on, Bree!
-Come on! -Okay.
Oh, hey.
-How are they going so fast? -Bree!
Oh.
[Bree] Jake, we did it.
I think we lost.
Sounds like it.
[Bree] Date night, Jake, you know?
Okay.
-You okay? -Yeah. Thank you.
Oh.
Okay. Nice work, you two.
Hey, in all fairness, Bree has the extra advantage
of her superhero mama strength.
Aw, thanks, baby.
[Jake] Can't wait to see that superhero mama strength
take down a 16-ounce steak at Marcelo's.
[laughter]
[Drew] [over phone] Nice work sending me these clothes.
My pleasure.
The people here couldn't be nicer
and the food is insane.
Be careful.
You don't wanna gain that freshman 15.
Thank you for the reminder, my supportive friend.
So how's the Ellis family land looking?
It's virtually perfect.
It's way more lucrative than I possibly could have imagined
and I just know that I could sell it in 24 hours or less.
Okay.
But?
But it's complicated.
[Marcus] What's so complicated?
This town is special.
I just hate the idea of taking its charm
and turning it into some commercial disaster.
Hello?
What have you done with Drew
and how much money do you want?
[chuckles] All right. All right.
I admit I've gone a bit soft.
Soft?
You went from shark to teddy bear overnight.
Like I said, it's complicated.
Well, you better pull yourself up by your bootstraps, cowboy.
You're not there to make friends.
Yeah, yeah.
I'll talk to you tomorrow.
-Goodnight. -[Drew] Night.
[sighs]
[Mutt] I am still full
from that amazing dinner last night, Katie.
Those ribs were something else.
I'm happy to hear it, Mutt.
You know, if you're real nice to me,
I know where she hides the leftovers.
You name your price.
[chuckling]
-Uh, hey, Katie. -Yes?
Couldn't help but notice the chemistry
between you and Mr. City Slicker last night.
Who, Drew?
No, Mutt.
Yes, Drew.
No, no. We just offer the finest
of hospitality at The Wander Inn.
That's all.
I need to start staying at some nicer hotels.
[laughs]
-I had an idea. -What?
What if you take my gift certificate
and you ask him out to dinner?
What?
No. That's for you two.
You need that fancy dinner more than I do.
Do you really think that this swollen body
wants to be in public any more than I have to?
-[bell dings] -Oh,
speak of the handsome devil himself.
Morning, everyone.
Hi. Good morning.
How about a fresh cup of coffee, Drew?
That sounds like absolute perfection.
-Thank you. -Great.
Have a seat and Bree
-will bring you a menu. -Yup.
Okay. Here you go.
Menu.
I'm just gonna pop squat here.
Ooh.
Don't mind my waddle.
This belly does not allow me to be the most graceful.
Are you kidding me?
I think it's incredible.
-You do? -Oh, yeah.
You are creating life at this very moment
just by sitting there.
[laughs]
Come on.
-[chuckles] -[Bree] Okay.
I mean, I guess when you put it that way,
it actually is pretty impressive, isn't it?
-Uh-hmm. -Speaking of impressive,
my three-legged race skills.
Oh, extremely impressive.
[laughs]
You know, I was actually gonna take Jake
out for this fancy dinner,
but between my exhaustion levels
and literally none of my clothes fitting me,
I think it's better to just grab some food to-go from the diner.
Yeah.
So I was thinking maybe
you and Kate should go together.
She just works so hard.
A night out would do her some good.
Are you sure?
You guys worked really hard to earn this steak dinner.
I tell you what, you bring me home a giant slice
of their butter cake, we'll call it even.
-That's a deal. -All right.
[grunts]
What are we having today, Drew?
I gotta be honest with you.
As much as I love this Southern cooking,
these meals are killing me.
Can I just get like some, hmm, egg whites
and a side of turkey bacon.
[laughs]
I know you didn't actually say turkey bacon
like that's something we have here.
Yeah.
Leave it to the guy out of California.
Yeah, why don't I whip up some egg whites for you
and I can try to dust off
some gluten-free bread we may have in the back?
That sounds perfect.
Oh, Kate. Uh...
I wanted to ask you. Uh, maybe...do you...
do you have any, um, plans tonight?
I thought maybe you and I could grab a bite to eat?
I am most definitely free, yeah.
You are?
-Yeah. -[Drew] Okay.
Pick you up around 7:00.
It's a date.
I mean, it's... no, it's not a date.
We're obviously not going out on a date.
-We're just, uh, great. -It's a date.
Okay.
-Oh, Drew. -Yeah?
You still want the egg whites or...
[chuckles]
I'm feeling wild. Let's make it French toast.
[giggles]
[upbeat music]
[birds chirping]
Okay. We just need something that says
"I look hot and amazing,
but not like so amazing that I'm trying too hard."
I don't think I have that.
My wardrobe is basically a comfort capsule.
Yeah.
I don't think any of this is gonna work.
Kate, when was the last time you went shopping?
What is this?
Is it...is it 1997?
Hey, I like that dress.
What time is it?
Hmm, well, it's 5:00.
All right. Well, hopefully we could still catch her.
Who are you calling?
Reinforcements.
This...you think a turtle neck is sexy?
-No. -On a date?
-No. -[sighs]
-[Bree] Hi. -Hello.
[Bree] Come on in.
-[hums] -[Bree] Thank you so much
for coming on such short notice.
Are you kidding? Anything for you.
Oh, Kate, this is Natalie.
-Hi. -Hi.
I introduced her to her fiance, Rocky.
-[Natalie] Uh-hmm. -Oh.
He came into Pearl's and he was looking so depressed
because he had just been stood up for the third time.
Oh, that's horrible!
But you know what? It worked out to my benefit
because Bree thought we'd be the perfect match,
and she was right.
Oh. Well, your ring is gorgeous.
[Natalie] Thank you.
Okay. Enough small talk.
Let's get down to business.
Okay. Okay.
Oh, look.
Well, that's cute. Look at that.
We are trying to bring you into the present day, honey.
What about...
oh, what about this one?
Okay. You are officially fired.
And Mama Bree is now large and in charge.
-This? -[Bree] Yeah.
Okay.
[upbeat music]
[phone rings]
[sighs]
Hey, Dad.
Drew.
I just wanted to check in, see how things
are going out there.
Things are--things are good.
Glad to hear it.
Have you had a chance to see the land yet?
Yeah. Yeah, I did.
-And? -And it's got lot of potential.
I actually have a few perspective buyers in mind.
-Fantastic. -Hey, listen, Dad.
I'm actually on my way out.
Can I--can I call you tomorrow?
Of course. But, Drew, don't forget
the Ellis oath,
play fair and square--
And you will lose your share.
[laughs] That's my boy.
Well, Dad, it's not always that simple.
[Bradford] Yes, it is, son.
Don't make things any harder
than they need to be.
[knocks on door]
-Hi. -Wow.
You look...different.
Not that you look bad before.
It...you're glowing.
Thanks.
Uh, let me just grab my purse
and then we can go.
Nice place.
My mom and I renovated it together.
Only took us four years but I do really love it.
I can see why.
-Uh-hmm. -Shall we?
We shall.
-[chuckles] -Well.
But, also, there I was, in my underwear,
completely locked out of my house in the pouring rain.
-Oh, no. -Yeah. And the worst part
about it was I could see my roommate's
Golden Retriever inside dry,
warm, cozy, completely ignoring me.
Oh. That's awful.
It was like that part on the Pirates of the Caribbean
ride, you know, where the prisoners
are trying to get the key from the dog
and they're trying to lure him with a bone.
Anyway, it was just one of those crazy college nights
that you just... you don't forget.
To be honest, I've never been
on the Pirates of the Caribbean ride.
What?
I've never been to Disneyland.
You gotta be kidding me.
No. I was born and raised here
in Cedar Creek, so...
California was not a place we went to very often.
To be honest with you, I've never really stepped foot
outside of this place other than the time
that my mom insisted that my grandma
and I take a road trip to the Grand Canyon.
[chuckles] Okay. Wow.
Well, it's now my mission to get you out west
for a Disneyland visit.
Well...
Where does your mom live now?
She passed away last year, sadly.
-I'm sorry. -Yeah, she was something else.
You would have loved her. You know the banana pie
that you love? That was my mom's recipe.
Uh-hmm. It's the best.
She had this uncanny ability
to just make the most amazing pies.
No recipe necessary.
She would layer and flavor and season.
It just always came out perfect.
No matter how many times I try to recreate her pies,
they just never taste quite as good as my mom's.
Well, it sounds like she was an amazing woman.
Yeah, she was.
I lost my Mom when I was three.
-I'm sorry. -Yeah, no, no. It's okay.
I actually don't have any memories of her.
Growing up, it was just me and my dad, and he taught me
everything I know about the family business.
And after college, I just kind of jumped right in.
And he never really spoke much about her.
All I really have in terms of memories are old photographs
and an old baby blanket that she knit for me
when she was still pregnant.
Are you and your Dad close?
-Close-ish. -How so?
He got to the point in his career
professionally where he just got burnt out
and all he wanted was for me to talk over the company,
and so I've been the face of Ellis & Son ever since.
That's impressive.
Any siblings?
I don't. No.
What about you?
No. Me neither.
-Hmm. -Just me.
Well, I guess
we have more in common than I thought we did.
Really? Did you think we wouldn't?
I don't know.
I guess maybe I thought
you were a fancy city boy.
Fancy. That's code word for snob.
[chuckles] I'm happy to report that I was wrong.
Can I interest you two in any dessert?
You know, I think I have a better idea.
-Yeah. [laughs] -[Drew laughs]
-Okay. -Wow. It's quiet in here.
It's nice, right?
I actually love
being in here after hours.
I feel like my creative side just really gets to shine
when I'm in my environment without all the noise, you know?
When I was little, my Grandma would bring me here
in the middle of the night. We'd have camp-outs.
The middle of the night?
Well, it felt like the middle of the night,
but it was probably like 9:00.
Uh-hmm.
[Kate] My Mom would get so mad because she would have
no idea where I was.
Grandma wouldn't tell her?
[Kate] Nope. But this was before cell phones, remember?
But that was always just her, though.
She was all fun and games.
We would roast marshmallows and make s'mores.
We would pretend like the lights in the oven were the stars
shining in the night sky.
Looks like I could use a new one of these.
Hmm. It's actually my Mom's recipe book.
It holds all of the master recipes
to everything we serve at Pearl's.
I always told myself I would redo it
and organize them, you know,
put them into a nicely bound book, and maybe
sell it here or something,
but I've never gotten around to it.
You know, one day, this will be in the Smithsonian.
-Yeah. -Hmm, hmm.
Yeah. [laughs]
Oh. You ready?
Hmm?
No. [chuckles]
-Oh, yes. -No. I'm not the chef.
Well, I'm not doing all this work by myself.
Yeah. You're in it.
[dramatic music]
-[Kate laughs] -All right.
Let's make it official.
All right.
I got to tell you, I feel more baker-like already.
Oh, good.
Well, my Mom used to play this game with me
when she was looking for a new pie inspiration.
She would have me close my eyes, spin me around.
Then she would have me pick one ingredient from the shelf.
Whatever I touched,
that would be the flavor of pie we'd make.
-Hmm. -Ready?
Okay.
-Okay. -Okay.
-Close your eyes. -Uh-hmm.
-Okay. Closed? -Uh-hmm.
Good. You can close.
It's closed. You saw that.
-Okay. Okay. -Pick.
Ooh. Well, hmm.
Orange marmalade?
Not a popular choice, but...well, no.
That's the fun part.
So, we say how do we make this orange marmalade
the flavor enhancer instead of the star of the show?
Ooh, maybe orange and chocolate?
Hmm, now you're talking.
What about, like, orange chocolate brownie pie?
Ooh. I wanna eat that right now.
Well then we better start baking.
[upbeat music]
Oh. [laughs]
-I'm blown away. -[Kate laughs]
Seriously, Kate, your talent is next level.
Hmm. Well, that's sweet of you to say that.
I appreciate it. Thank you.
No. I'm not just saying that just to be polite.
Seriously, the fact you can take orange jelly,
which I'm not a fan of at all, by the way,
and turn it into this, it's beyond impressive.
Well, I think this is one of my favorite pies yet.
-Really? -Uh-hmm.
I think I'm gonna declare this "Drew's The Boss" pie.
No way. I barely did anything.
You did more than you know,
for it is the sweet simple things of life
which are the real ones after all.
You know that quote?
It's just something my Grandma used to say.
It's a good one.
Yeah.
[crickets chirping]
[phone chimes]
[knocks on door]
[clears throat]
[dramatic music]
Seriously? The Wander Inn is two hours from the airport?
Hello to you, too. I would have mentioned that
had I known you were coming.
I thought you were going to Aspen?
I was, until I found out it was freezing.
Snow tends to be like that.
Well, this is cute.
Very Shania chic.
Hmm. I hope you know you're not staying in my room.
Don't worry. I already checked in.
They are getting my room ready as we speak.
Oh. So, you met Kate?
-Who is Kate? -No, nothing.
I thought maybe you spoke with her.
She's the owner. My mistake.
Andrew Owen Ellis.
-Nope. My name is not Andrew. -Whatever.
I like that name better for you.
Is this Kate character giving you the feels?
I don't know what you're talking about.
Uh-hmm.
I had a feeling there was a girl involved.
That's why I had to come here and see it for myself.
That's the complicated part.
-She has a husband? -No.
-She has a wife? -No.
-She's in a cult? -No.
-Would you stop it? -Well, what?
My Grandfather's land runs right through this place.
-Eek. -And her family's diner.
She recently lost her Mom.
I think she's really doing the best she can to stay afloat.
I'm just not sure I can stomach being the one
who takes her entire life away from her.
You're right. That is complicated.
[knocks on door]
Hi. Sorry to bother you all.
I just wanna let you know that your room is ready.
Thank you.
And I was able to track down
the fresh white towels, the sleeping mask,
and the humidifier that you requested.
Great. I will be right down to pick up those items.
Great.
What?
Hotel rooms make my throat itch.
[upbeat music]
Oh, my God.
Was this made with dirt?
[sniffs] No. That is literally manure.
-You're up early. -Oh, yes.
It was lovely being woken up by a chicken yelling at me.
I guess that's how they haze you here.
Oh, no, no. I wouldn't do that.
It tastes like someone died in there.
Come on. I know just the place to help you ease your pain.
[sighs]
You know, it's not that bright in here.
Mommy doesn't talk to anyone until she's had her coffee.
Good morning!
Oh, bless your heart.
Morning. Bree, this is Marcus.
-Marcus, this is Bree. -Howdy!
What can I get y'all?
We're gonna take two rise and shine delights
with over-easy eggs.
Good choice. Coming right up!
What did I just order?
Don't worry about it. You're gonna love it.
Listen, I planned us a fun-filled day
and you're gonna need your fuel.
Well, if it involves milking a cow,
-I'm out. -I would never do that to you.
Aren't we here for business?
Why don't we start crunching some numbers
so we can go home to where the green smoothies are?
We will. We will.
I just need to get my ducks in a row.
Hey, how are you doing? I'm Jake, Bree's husband.
Nice to meet you, Jake.
Marcus works with me at Ellis & Son.
Couldn't do life without him, ain't that right?
I just wonder if you had any plans tonight.
My favorite bar's got the game on
and they got about 20 beers on tap.
Would love to come. Thanks for the invite.
-I love a tapped beer. -[phone vibrating]
So, I gotta take this.
I'll see you at The Sip, 8:00-ish.
What's the dress code for The Sip?
Are you kidding me?
I don't know.
[dramatic music]
Wait. [gasps]
So, what's next on the agenda?
Cleaning out the chicken coop?
How are you complaining already?
You just take a cleansing breath
and breathe in this fresh crystal clean air.
[inhales] Hmm.
Ugh. All I can smell is the zoo.
Ugh. Gotta get you out of the city more often.
My apologies.
I didn't realize you went full Yellowstone in 72 hours.
Why are we stopping?
Because I wanted to bring you up here to show you something,
the land in question.
She sure is pretty.
I know.
This crush has really got you, doesn't it?
I feel like I'm going nuts, Marcus.
I barely even know her.
There's something about her that's just so genuine.
It's got me wanting to protect her.
Well, that's sweet.
And the crazy thing about it is,
I need to protect her from me.
Don't be so hard on yourself, Bud.
I'm sure there's a way we can figure it out.
[screams]
Drew, do not move.
There's a giant murder hornet on your head.
A murder hornet?
Come on. Is that even a real thing?
Oh, they're real. Oh, no.
-Oh, no, no, no. -Okay. Okay. Okay.
Marcus, stay calm. I need your help here.
Okay, Marcus Miller, you can do this.
You have a white belt in jiu-jitsu.
You don't need to be afraid of some little... [screams]
Okay. Can you stop screaming, please?
-They can smell fear. -Drew,
I'm gonna do this for you because I love you,
even though it means sacrificing my own life.
What are you gonna do, Marcus?
On my count, one, two--
What?
--two and a half,
three.
[groans]
Got it.
[laughs]
Apparently, Marcus thought whacking me
with his completely full backpack
was the best plan.
Oh, man.
Well, where is Marcus now?
Oh, he had to lay down. Yeah.
Apparently, he felt faint from the whole ordeal.
-Oh. -You know, I'm not sure
I've ever heard of a murder hornet.
Oh, you haven't.
It was a mosquito.
-A mosquito? -Still scary.
Well, you should definitely keep ice on it.
Your whole eye's gonna swell up.
Ugh.
Thank you.
Appreciate it.
I'm just...I'm gonna go get a slice of that banana cream pie
because this baby just can't stop thinking about it.
Okay.
Actually, I was gonna ask you if...
maybe you wanna hang out with me again tomorrow night,
but I'm sure you don't wanna be seen with me in public now.
I'd love to.
You would?
Yeah.
I'm just gonna get you a pair of those, like,
really stylish nighttime glasses,
you know, so you have a full disguise.
That sounds like a...
-date. -Date.
[bell chimes]
Katie, Drew.
How are we doing?
-Hey. -Whoa!
What happened to you, pal?
I got a flight with a mosquito.
Yeah, you did. Yikes.
Tell you what, you look like you could use a cold beer.
On me.
-Come on. -Deal.
You two have fun.
[Marcus] That's your spot, huh?
[Jake] Yeah.
Hey, Jimmy, get my man here whatever he wants.
Jimmy, I will take the strongest drink you got.
Be careful what you wish for.
Thanks, Jimmy.
You know, I like your style.
I mean, I'm really leaning into this whole cowboy life.
Yeah, no doubt.
I'm glad you like it here, too, you know.
You're in my hometown, born and raised.
If you ever need anything at all, just say the word.
I appreciate that. I got to tell you,
everyone is so nice here.
Kind of our thing.
First round is on me.
-Case in point. -I appreciate it.
You know, I got a confession.
When I first met you, I thought you were
a snobby city boy.
But you're all right, man.
You're all right yourself.
Hey. So, you're having a baby soon.
-Any minute now. -[Drew] That must feel surreal.
Oh, it sure does. I can't believe
I'm gonna be someone's dad.
I can't believe they just hand you a baby,
assuming you know what to do with it.
-[chuckles] -Better you than me.
I would be clueless.
Okay. So, question for you,
I'm taking Kate out on a date.
-A date, huh? -Yeah, the official date.
And I wanna take her someplace fun,
someplace different.
I got just the place.
You take her here.
She will love it.
[Kate] How did you find this place?
[Drew] I'm not gonna lie. I did have a little help.
[Kate] Well, it is absolutely gorgeous out here.
-Fun fact for you. -Uh-hmm.
Did you know that there are over 3,000 varieties of pear?
-Wow! -Yeah.
And pear is in the rose family.
I did not know that.
I did not know that either.
It was in the brochure.
[both laughs]
Well, I can't wait to make my Grandma's
pear crisp recipe with these beauties.
Well, if you need a good taste tester,
I know a very good one.
-Oh, you're hired. -Hmm.
-What? -I've just...
never met anyone with your passion before
about anything, really.
I can promise you I've never felt that way
about any deal I've ever done.
I wish I had your enthusiasm about what I did for a living.
Well, my Mama always told me
that cooking is a specialized skill
that I needed to protect and nurture.
-Hmm. -And, you know,
food is the way to almost everyone's heart,
-no matter what. -Hmm.
So, I don't know. I guess it's just always driven me.
You know, somebody comes in to the restaurant alone,
I think what can I do
to make them feel special?
Or if a happy couple comes in on a date,
it's like instant a la mode.
It's my love language.
It makes me happy to make people happy, I guess.
It's truly amazing to see.
And...
you're amazing.
[dramatic music]
Are you hungry?
[chuckles] Always.
[dramatic music]
[Kate chuckles]
[dramatic music]
-[Mutt] Well... -Oh.
[phone rings]
-This is Jake. -[Garrett] Jake.
Hey, it's Garrett Sanders from Station 33.
Hey, how's it going, Garrett?
[Garrett] Good. Just wanted to touch base about a situation
I was made aware of today.
Have you heard that the old Ellis Family land
is up for sale?
I actually hadn't heard that.
-[Garrett] I was afraid of that. -What's going on?
[Garrett] Well, I recently discovered
that the owned land runs right through Pearl's
and the Wander Inn.
Frank Ellis apparently had an arrangement with Pearl.
He let her use the land rent-free all these years.
-Okay. -[Garrett] Well, this could
cause a major problem for the businesses
-once the land is sold. -Ugh. We had no idea.
[Garrett] Apparently, Frank left everything
to his only grandson, Drew Ellis.
I'm sorry. Did you say Drew?
[Garrett] Yeah, Drew Ellis.
I don't believe he's local,
but I have very few details.
Hoping to get some more intel for you today.
I just wanna let you know as soon as possible
because I know these two places
are real important in your world.
No, I appreciate it, buddy. Thank you for the heads up.
[Garrett] All right.
-Y'all good? -No.
We have a problem.
Like it on top after with the puddle of ketchup.
How are we doing?
Can I get you two anything else?
Oh, I am as full as can be. Thank you.
Yeah, just our check, please.
Oh, sure thing. Coming right up.
[phone chimes]
-[Jake] Hey, Katie. -Hi.
Hey.
Hey, man, what's going on?
You can skip the pleasantries.
Sorry?
When were you planning on telling Katie about your land?
What are you talking about, Jake?
Drew has been hiding a secret from us,
more importantly, from you.
Okay. Look, I had every intention
of talking to you about this.
Talking to me about what?
Um...
Somebody wanna tell me what's going on here?
It's Ellis Family Land, okay. I don't...
The Ellis Land runs right through Pearl's,
as well as the Wander Inn.
Drew's grandpa, Frank, was giving Pearl a deal
on doing her business here.
And rumor has it that Drew here
will be tearing everything down
for a bunch of soulless tract homes.
What?
Is that true?
Was that my original plan? Yes.
But then I got here and this town,
this place,
it's so idyllic and special.
And then--and then I met you.
Right.
Come on, Kate.
Hey, you gotta trust me.
Trust you?
Not only do I not trust you,
I never wanna see you again.
You were spying on me?
No, no need to spy.
This information was handed to me.
There are no secrets in this small town.
Okay. Okay, listen, I had no idea before I got here
that the land was a part of Pearl's or the Inn.
You expect me to believe that with your fake cowboy outfits,
charming personality, and cuddling up to Katie?
You really expect me to believe
that wasn't completely calculated and deceitful?
Deceitful?
If you think that for one second, man,
then you don't know me at all.
You're right. I don't know you.
And I sure as hell don't want to.
To think that I trusted you enough to open up,
man, like a fool.
Gut instincts are always right.
You're exactly what I had you pegged for.
I thought this was gonna be a smooth easy transaction.
I was gonna come in here and I was gonna sell this land
off to one of my biggest investors sight unseen.
I was gonna be in and out in 48 hours tops.
But?
But I got here and everything changed.
This town won me over.
Kate won me over.
You gotta believe me.
This feels completely unfair.
-Unfair to you? -Yeah.
If you just give me a chance, just hear me out, man.
Katie's a good girl.
She deserves nothing but the best.
I know that. I agree with you.
Actually, you don't know.
Were you there when Kate's Mom passed out in the kitchen
and didn't wake up?
Were you there when Kate almost lost everything
due to her Mama not leaving the diner
in a decent financial state,
or having any of her affairs in order?
I'm sorry, I did not know that.
If you think you can just sweep in here with them
pretty boy good looks and take everything
that she has worked so hard for,
you are sadly mistaken.
That is not my intention, I promise you.
Promises are just words, Drew.
You are clearly not a man of his word.
Mission completed.
Most exhausting project I've worked on to date.
Well, you can just leave it there on the bed.
I won't be needing it any longer.
Why are we so depresh mode?
It's a mess.
[Marcus] What's wrong?
Kate knows everything.
About the land, about what my plans are.
Were. What my plans were.
And now she never wants to see me again.
Okay. We can fix this.
I think the best thing to do would be...
-talk to her. -Genius idea.
-Okay. Don't bite. -I'm sorry.
I know you were just trying to help.
And I tried but she made it very clear
she wants nothing to do with me.
-Andrew Ellis. -Still not my name.
Has that ever stopped you before?
When a client tells us no, we add more fuel to the fire.
When someone outbids us, what do we do?
Make a better offer?
We don't lay down and take it,
because in spite of your father's ridiculously
antiquated "Ellis Oath,"
we do play fair and square.
And we never lose our share.
[country music]
[sighs]
[acoustic music]
[upbeat music]
[country music]
[knocks on door]
Thank you for meeting me here.
Jimmy, can I just get a cup of coffee?
[Jimmy] Yeah, coming right up.
Thank you.
In order to get the process started,
I'm gonna need a couple of signatures from you.
Yeah.
You know, you can always take the paperwork for your review.
I can pick up signed documents tomorrow.
Yeah, that might be-- that might be best
-actually if you don't mind. -No problem.
Your grandfather trusted me with his life.
My only goal here is to do right by him.
I hope you feel the same.
[dramatic music]
[Grandpa Frank] Drew, something told me
you would be hesitant.
You have always been the sentimental type.
So I instructed Henry to give you
this final letter if so.
Sort of a break in case of emergency.
Hmm.
[Grandpa Frank] I would never have given you
this gift if I didn't completely trust you
with my whole heart.
I invite you to take a risk,
take a chance to see the beauty of change.
Never get so busy making a living
that you forget to make a life.
This is your journey now.
And remember, it is the sweet simple things of life
which are the real ones, after all.
I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to do that.
Oh my goodness, ma'am. I am so sorry.
No one calls me ma'am.
Bree, I'm so sorry. I had no idea it was you.
Yeah, well, clearly this is not the only thing
that you had to be sorry for.
Bree, look, I know that you're upset with me.
I just wish that there was something I can do
to convince you all that I only have good intentions.
Okay. Please, you don't have to worry
about convincing me, all right?
The damage between us is done.
But I'm not gonna let you run out of this town
without making things right with Kate.
Believe me, that's all I wanna do.
She won't answer my calls or my texts.
I even stopped by her place this morning
and she wouldn't open her door and I know she was in there.
Drew, Kate hasn't opened up her heart to anyone
in a really long time.
She gives her soul to her customers.
That's why her heart is so big and she trusted you.
Will you help me get her back?
Oh, no. Uh-uh. Nope.
-I'm not--I'm not-- -Please, please, please, please.
---I'm not getting involved-- -I will do--I will do anything.
Oh, no.
Oh, no, you don't wanna help me?
I think I just had a contraction.
What?
I think-- I think the baby's coming.
-The baby's coming? -Uh-huh.
Like right now? On the street?
Well, probably not right here on the street,
genius, but if you could, I don't know,
call an ambulance or something, that would be nice.
Oh.
Oh, of course this happens when I'm with him.
-Of course it happens. -I'll be--I'll be right back.
-What? -Two seconds.
Where are you going? Nope. No, no, no, no, no, no.
You can't leave me here. What are you doing?
Oh, woo.
So it is [indistinct] Drew.
Just give me a second while I finish with this customer.
Ricky, I need your help. Bree's having her baby.
Oh, I am very sorry. Just give me a minute.
Hey, hey.
Bree, honey, we're gonna get you to the hospital
as soon as possible, okay?
There's no time for an ambulance.
-Let's just get her to my car. -Okay.
Hey, Drew, you just call Jake and make sure he meets us there.
Okay. Let me call from your phone, Ricky.
-My phone's dead. -Jeez. Okay.
Hold on, hold on. Okay. Okay. Okay.
All right, girl. Hey, hey, just take your time.
-Just breathe. -His phone's off.
Call Kate. Call Kate.
I'm not calling Kate. She won't talk to me.
-Right now. -Okay.
-Call her right now. -Call Kate, call Kate.
Right now. Right now. Come on.
-Okay. -[Ricky] Okay, okay.
[phone ringing]
Hey, Ricky. What's up? It's Drew, it's Drew.
Don't hang up.
I told you I have nothing to say to you.
Listen, Bree's in labor.
Wait, what?
Oh my goodness.
I need you to find Jake and meet us there.
Okay. Yes. Oh, this is so exciting.
Okay. I'm on it.
-It is pretty amazing. -Oh, my.
Will you stop chitchatting
and find my husband right now?
Okay. See you soon.
[Jake] Where is she?
Oh, they have her in labor and delivery,
but don't worry, she promised to wait for you.
Go inside.
So exciting.
Thank you for getting her here safe.
-Uh-hmm. -Yeah. Of course.
I think we can take it from here.
Okay.
-Hi. -Hi.
Kate, Kate. I...
Not right now.
[nurse] [indistinct] this is the one I'm showing.
I know.
-Where is she? -[nurse] Down the corner.
-All right. All right. -Thank you.
[acoustic music]
I'm a real good listener.
[sighs] Thank you.
I'm just at a complete loss at this point.
-Jake can be tough, huh? -Huh. You're telling me.
I feel like nothing I said could possibly get through to him.
Well, one thing I know about Kate
is she's forgiving.
I'm sure she'll come around, honey.
I hope so.
Well, thank you for everything today, Ricky.
-Hmm. -I really appreciate it.
In fact, I don't think I could've done it without you.
Oh, don't mention it.
I was happy to help.
I can't wait to hold that baby.
Bye.
[acoustic music]
Mind if I join you?
[sighs]
Are you still talking to me at least?
[laughs]
I understand you got yourself in a bit of hot water.
-Something like that. -Yeah.
I messed everything up with Kate.
Well, Katie can be stubborn,
but she's got a heart of gold.
[chuckles]
Her grandma Pearl is just as sweet as she is.
You know, I've never seen anything
quite like the bond that she and your Grandpa Frank shared.
I had no idea.
In fact, I see a little bit of that bond
between you and Katie.
Your Grandpa Frank, he was a charming fellow.
The ladies sure did love him.
You know, he could sell ice in Alaska,
that I'm sure of.
Yeah.
He was the best.
[Mutt] Yeah.
He was more than just a grandpa to me.
Hmm.
And I feel guilty even admitting this,
but I was closer to him than I am to my own father.
How so?
He never judged me.
Never challenged me.
He was just this... constant support system
that was always there no matter what.
When my mom passed,
my dad just completely shut down,
acted as if nothing even happened.
We never talked about her,
looked at old photographs, no home videos, nothing.
I am sorry to hear that.
My grandpa was committed to making sure
my childhood was special
and I will always be forever grateful to him for that.
Now I have this massive responsibility
to do right by him.
But it's at the expense of everyone and everything here.
I'm damned if I do, damned if I don't.
[sighs]
I wish someone would believe me.
Well, I believe...
that you will do the right thing.
Thank you for the chat, Mutt.
-Appreciate it. -Anytime.
Actually, Mutt.
Yeah?
Would you mind helping me with something real quick?
[rock music]
[Kate] Pearl's Night Out?
Before you get upset, Mutt let me in.
I didn't do anything shady in here, I promise.
Should've never given that guy a key.
He loves surprises.
I thought maybe we could camp under the diner stars,
like you used to with your Grandma Pearl.
-Kate, I never meant to-- -Sorry, but I...
-Look, I hate that I-- -It's just that I trusted...
Please, you go first.
No, you go.
Kate, I'm so deeply sorry
that you found about everything the way that you did.
I had no idea that your family's establishments
laid dead smack in the middle of this land
that I came into.
I had every intention of telling you.
I was just trying to figure out how to tell you
without hurting you and then that was stupid
because I ended up hurting you anyhow.
And then I just...
I just wish that you knew how...
truly sorry I am.
You know, when my mom passed away,
I promised myself that
there's nothing on earth that would take away
what she worked so hard to build.
She put everything into this place.
So did my grandma.
And then I gave up my own life to be here every day.
I worked so hard to keep this place afloat
and I came close to losing it more times
than I would care to admit.
And somehow we would...
we'd make it through,
in spite of every challenge that was put in front of me.
Then I met you.
And this is a challenge that I can do...
absolutely nothing about.
And it terrifies me.
You came into my life and I thought...
maybe this is my opportunity to meet my person
or that door wasn't fully closed for me yet.
I didn't wanna trust you but I did.
Then you broke my heart.
I don't know how we repair that.
We told them no.
What?
I won't sell.
No matter what happens between us
or how you feel about me, the land is mine
and it will stay mine.
Pearl's and the Wander Inn aren't going anywhere.
You have my word.
And I know that my word
might not be enough for you right now...
but there's one thing that you taught me
and it's that integrity and truth,
trust...
mean more than anything.
-So Pearl's is safe? -Uh-hmm.
-You mean that? -I do.
And I'll even put it in writing if it will help you believe me.
I mean, you never have to see me again.
I'll go back to San Francisco,
keep my mouth shut,
never have anything to deal with me.
[dramatic music]
What if I don't want you to leave?
Everything's negotiable.
So does this mean that you're my landlord now or...
-Sort of. -Well--
But you're still the boss.
Okay.
[phone chimes]
Oh my gosh.
[Drew] Hmm.
Aww.
A baby girl.
[phone chimes]
-Named Pearl. -[chuckles]
[Kate] She's perfect.
[Drew] That's one of the cutest babies I've ever seen.
-Right? -Oh, I almost forgot your gift.
What? What is it?
[Kate gasps]
-Pearl's Pie Place. -Open it.
A Guide To Cooking...
That's As Easy As Pie.
What can I say? Like A good play on words.
[chuckles]
Oh, my gosh.
Wait, Drew, this is incredible.
You have every recipe in here.
Well, full disclosure,
some of the recipes were impossible to read,
so I just did my best.
It's perfect.
Thank you.
No need to thank me.
I wanted to do something special for you.
This really means a lot.
Could I interest you in s'mores pie?
S'more pie?
Thank you.
What, are you trying to be
bumped up to head chef around here?
I am working on finding my place.
Cheers.
