Good morning.
Is it a double chai tea morning?
Louise, you know me so well.
Coming right up. [phone chimes]
Ooh...
We do have a nice cacao granola
that you could add milk to?
I... I'll take it.
You have your usual weekly meeting
in the conference room in 20,
followed by back-to-back calls.
Citybis Chicago wants to talk about
the new pop-up restaurant account.
Chicago Architecture Association wants to talk about a rebrand,
and the summer music festival campaign
is due by the end of the month.
I'm exhausted just by saying that.
How is our progress coming on the music festival campaign?
Two of my posts went viral last week.
Excellent.
Oh, can you pull some background on Chicago Architecture?
Already started compiling this morning.
What I would do without you?
I'm going to savour my latte.
See you in 20.
See you soon, thank you!
Knock knock!
of San Francisco Hospital!
I'm definitely not used to hearing that yet.
I bet Mom and Dad have told everyone in Ireland by now.
How the daughter they thought would be an only child...
until I miraculously showed up one day.
Now look at you!
Lizzie, I can't believe I'm about to get on a plane
and go buy a house across the country.
I know. We need to change the subject
or I am gonna get way too sad that my sister
is moving 2000 miles away with my only niece.
Ruby is so excited to hang with their Aunt Lizzie
for two whole weeks while Mom gets set up at her new job.
Aw, Ican't wait.
So how was kindergarten drop off this morning?
Was she too sad?
She did great.
I gave her the biggest hug.
Such a good kid. Last time I saw her,
she kept talking about how much she loves school.
It's cute, but kinda... kinda weird.
Well, she's a weird kid sometimes.
[laughing]
Yeah. She kept talking about her friend...
Jamie? And how Jamie is "so, so funny".
Jamie is so funny, he's actually really--
[groans]
I have to go. Okay.
Mmm... [throat clearing]
This is not goodbye.
This is "see you in two weeks".
Have a safe flight.
Love you.
Alright. Bye.
Okay.
As we head into our busy summer season,
I just want to remind you all
that fine words butter no parsnips.
Now let's hear some account updates.
What do you have for me? Elizabeth?
Great news, I got our young tech client
onto Manhattan Cultural Magazine's coveted
"32 Under 32" list.
Excellent work. Excellent work.
I'm hoping that it will lead to more tech referrals.
You know, that reminds me,
I was at my bowling club this weekend...
which by the way, I have extended an open invitation
to everyone in this office to join and to date,
no one has accepted.
Anyway, at bowling club, Martin, our best bowler,
is also in the restaurant industry,
and Martin said he heard rave reviews
about Elizabeth's work on restaurant week.
We're lucky to have her on our team.
[applause]
So, who else has an update for us?
Whoa!
What do you think, Ruby?
Well, we should see if he wants some dinner, then.
Will you be our chef?
Welcome to Chef Ruby's Restaurant.
Today's special is a very nice flower.
[giggles]
No problem, that will be right out.
One flower special, please Chef.
Looks delicious, Chef.
We have one very hungry caterpillar.
I think he loves it.
Come in.
Late lunch?
Oh, no.
I am... I am very late for pick-up.
Pick-up? I don't see that in the calendar.
Do you want me to do it for you? Is it your dry-cleaning?
My niece!
Aunt Lizzie!
Oh, hi, bug!
Hi.
I'm Jamie. Ruby's teacher.
You're Jamie. Okay, hum...
I'm Elizabeth, Kat's sister.
Nice of you to finally show up.
Oh, I'm... I'm sorry, I realize I'm a little late.
The school day ended at 2:00,
I work at a big PR firm,
sometimes things get a little crazy,
and I just completely lost track of time.
Which firm?
The Bridgeshore Group.
What? Uh, nothing.
No, what was that, you definitely...
you definitely just gave my firm a look?
I'm... familiar with them.
I used to work in the corporate world.
You did?
Wow. Wow?
No, uh, I mean...
The Wall Street to kindergarten pipeline is...
surprising? Yes! Very unexpected.
Are you burnt out yet?
No, why?
Trust me, you will be.
Come over here, Aunt Lizzie.
Um, I had to climb over several scooters in the hallway.
One almost took me out.
Oh. On Mondays, we do relay races,
so the kids will remember their numbers.
Ah. This school seems very non-traditional.
The Head of School must be very... creative.
[small chuckle] Thank you.
That's me.
I founded the Butterfly Primary myself.
Wow, that's really great.
Let's meet Grandpa now.
Ah-ah! Um...
The caterpillar's name is Grandpa?
That's what happens when you let a bunch of 5-year-olds
vote on something.
[laughing]
It's so nice to meet you.
He's going to be in a cocoon soon.
Ruby's right.
In fact, we have a Butterfly Graduation
happening next week to mark Grandpa's metamorphosis
and these kiddos graduating kindergarten.
"Graduation".
Well, do they know which first grade
they're getting into yet?
It is a big transition,
Of course.
but I understand if you can't do it.
Oh, no, I can do that.
If Kat can do it, so can I.
Well, I don't think you know
what you're getting yourself into.
Okay.
Can we go to the playground?
Yes, yes. Just for a little bit.
So nice to meet you, Jamie.
It was nice to meet you too, Elizabeth.
Bye, Ruby.
Don't like your breakfast?
That's chocolate granola.
I thought chocolate cereal was your favourite.
Do you have Choco-loopers?
No, but let me see if I can get some today, okay?
Oh, that's work.
We should get going.
Why don't you get dressed for school?
[whispers indistinctly]
You're wearing pajamas to school, silly?
Mommy lets me sometimes if I want.
Um... guess she forgot to tell me that.
We should get going.
Wait, what is this?
A snack schedule?
Every day one of the moms or dads bring a snack.
It says today is our day to bring the snacks.
Yesterday, Cece's dad brought cupcakes.
Cool, that sounds... that sounds fancy.
Um, you know what? One second. I have an idea.
How about... the chocolate granola?
[shudders]
Huh, I have a large jar of cashews?
No nuts at school.
What about beet leather?
Ew! Okay, that's fair.
Um... you know what? What do you want?
We'll just stop at the store on the way there.
Yeah? Yay! Okay, problem solved. Okay, let's go.
Welcome back. I'll be in in just a second.
Ruby, nice pajamas.
Why don't you join everyone inside?
Well. Good morning.
Hello.
School starts promptly at 8:30.
Yes, I realize that.
Tardiness is disrespectful and disruptive for everyone.
Of course.
Thank you for fulfilling your snack duty.
Great. Well, if that's all,
I'm gonna go ahead and get to work.
Huh, Ruby's in PJs today?
Yeah, she said her mom sometimes lets her...
let's her wear... She does not let her wear pajamas to school.
I was played. I... I was so played, she played me.
Like a fiddle.
Oopsie. Well, on that note, I'm gonna go to work.
And I will be back for pick-up on time.
I am so sorry everyone. I apologize for my tardiness.
I'm glad you're here. We have a problem.
Oh.
The best accessory to any woman's outfit
is an engagement ring.
Had you seen this?
No, I've had a bit of a hectic morning.
Apparently, it's making the rounds on social media.
It's a bloodbath.
Let me guess, the headline is she's "out of touch"?
"Old-fashioned"? Exactly.
So Paloma is our newest client.
Ah. Your newest client, actually.
My newest client?
You're one of our strongest account managers,
and you have a good handle on this internet stuff.
I can't make heads or tails of it.
Yes. I can handle this.
Okay.
Everyone, you can go. Except for Elizabeth.
So she has a new line of rings coming out in two weeks,
and this off-the-hand comment
shattered her brand's credibility overnight.
Okay, so we just need to try
Time is of the essence, here, so I need your A game on this.
This is great that she even chose the Bridgeshore Group.
I'm actually kind of surprised
that she didn't choose a firm in... New York.
Well... that's not to say she didn't.
Wait, what?
I heard she has a reputation
for being a bit difficult sometimes.
Oh. I see.
But I have some good news.
If everything goes well in the next two weeks,
the firm is prepared to make you a partner.
Wow.
Well, I will... I will not let the firm down.
As they always say, bad news travels fast.
So let's get this crisis averted.
Yes. Let's do just that. I got this.
I also told Edward that you were looking
to take on more responsibility.
So if this all goes well,
you're going to be a new account manager, missy.
Thank you! This is everything we've been working towards.
There's just one... maybe complication.
What?
I'm babysitting my niece for another two weeks.
Oh, right. Did you tell Edward?
No, I don't want him to have any doubts.
We can handle this client.
Hello, there.
I am on time. Miraculously.
Okay.
Attempt?
I'm sure you meant well,
it's just... we offer healthier options,
and fruit snacks are basically pure sugar.
Oh, that's what Ruby suggested...
And Ruby played Aunt Lizzie again, wow.
My niece just dropped these off.
Looks like we can do a little extra finger painting this year.
Oh, are you in need of supplies?
but enrollment is low.
Oh.
What? That's awful, Ruby loves this place so much.
Word of mouth is great,
Well, it sounds like you just have an awareness problem.
Yeah.
I have a proposition for you.
A proposition?
Yes. Because you're such an expert with kids,
how about you help me with childcare.
Just watch Ruby after school for me a few times,
and in exchange, I will land you my PR skills.
Your PR skills?
Draw up some publicity for this place.
Really get families interested.
It'd have to happen pretty quickly...
next couple weeks.
can make that kind of magic happen.
What?
It's just going to be so satisfying
when I prove you wrong.
Because I happen to be very good at my job.
Alright.
You've got yourself a deal.
Deal.
This is gonna be fun. Yes... fun.
We said 10:00 a.m., you're late.
You were waiting for that, weren't you?
I was.
so I could come do this.
Are you ready for phase one of the brand new
public relations campaign for the Butterfly Primary?
Let's see what you've got.
We're going to start by building a robust
social media presence.
I don't buy believe in all that stuff.
It's so... superficial.
Sometimes you gotta play the game.
What if I don't wanna play the game?
Then the amazing school you founded might close.
What's more important?
Alright, fine.
Okay. Since you are the founder
and you're... photogenic,
um, I wanted to include you in the first batch of posts.
You think I'm photogenic?
Huh... In like a professional, camera ready... kind of way.
Gotcha. Um...
Okay, here is where I was thinking we'd start.
I think the cityscape gives a nice professional backdrop.
So how's Ruby?
almost every morning before school.
Oh, it's good. I got to say,
I was impressed with her newest art project.
You... you were, huh? Yeah.
I've never seen a kid glue popsicle sticks so straight
and just perfectly aligned.
Okay, I may have helped her, just a little bit,
but she was getting so frustrated.
I know it sounds crazy,
but kids being frustrated is a good thing.
Is it... good for me, though?
Making mistakes is good.
It's really good for their development if they fail
and learn to try again...
You know, I-- [camera shutters]
...develop their creativity and--
Oh!
The flat pavement really got you there.
I told you I'm not good at this sort of thing.
[laughing]
Oh, look, I got it!
[cheering]
Look out, front page.
[Elizabeth]: Let's jump right into phase two.
[Jamie]: Phase two?
[Elizabeth]: Market research.
A crucial part of any public relations campaign.
Just follow my lead.
Okay.
Be careful, sweetie.
Hi, I'm Jamie. Hi.
Could we get your thoughts on kindergartens?
Oh, sure.
Yes, we are. No, we're not...
That's what my husband and I sounded like, too.
We're interested in learning more about the local schools.
How old is your little one?
She's four. [Elizabeth]: So precious.
Now, is she already enrolled in kindergarten?
Oh, we had her on the waitlist
at Forest Grove Park Academy before she was even born.
Wow, that's... some early planning.
What a super mom you are, that's amazing.
Very proactive.
Have to be prepared.
We do, yes! That is what I'm always telling
my honey over here.
Oh, I'm sorry, she's not allowed on the monkey bars.
Okay. Okay...
Wow. That... okay.
Market research. Market research.
It involves talking to a lot of people, so.
Okay, good.
We're still narrowing it down.
Is the Butterfly Primary on your list?
I don't think I've heard of it.
But you wanna introduce technology and screens,
as early as possible.
You do? Yeah!
Technology is the future.
Of course.
Yeah, on second thought, that doesn't really sound
like the Butterfly Primary.
Hey, Jimmy, where's your iPad?
Well... that was a bust.
No!
for the spreadsheet dad?
Achievements? Yeah.
publicize the scores.
I don't believe in all that stuff.
Especially for kindergarteners.
to get a sense for what a kid's natural abilities might be?
They have their whole lives to achieve.
I mean, yeah, we can focus on the letters and the numbers,
but... I want them to be good people, first and foremost.
A strong foundation of character.
That's more important right now
than being able to read big words.
By this time next week, everyone in Chicago
is going to know about the Butterfly Primary.
Our newest client is here, and she's demanding an update.
She's here? Yeah!
Okay.
Excuse me, Paloma?
Hi! So nice to meet you.
I'm Elizabeth, your account manager.
She's young, no?
What do you have for me?
Franny, if you'll... please.
If you just want to take a look.
What I am proposing is that we take samples
from the new line and send them
to a select group of social media influencers
in exchange for a review and a post.
Specifically targeting women that are not partnered up.
Even some guys.
Everyone wears jewelry nowadays.
Yes, this will show that your jewelry,
your beautiful line, is for everyone.
That everyone deserves to have a diamond ring on their finger,
regardless of their engagement status.
I'm intrigued.
Shall we move forward then?
Alright.
[relieved sigh]
Bye, Noah, see you tomorrow!
Well, that is everyone, home safely.
I'm gonna stay and do a little gardening out here
for a little bit.
Harry is going to take me to the plant nursery.
Well, that sounds like a very lovely evening.
The plus side of being married for almost 30 years,
you can make a date out of almost anything.
What about you, young man?
Not much.
Our Room Mom is stopping by
Don't forget to have some fun, Jamie.
I will be sure to schedule myself some fun.
Thank you so much
I completely forgot about this Room Mom meeting.
One slight problem... [small chuckle]
What?
I have absolutely no idea what to do with kids.
I've never even babysat before!
And I may have watched a creepy movie
about the ghost of a Victorian girl,
but that's beside the point, I--
Listen, I have spent a ton of time with Ruby over the years,
but I'm just now realizing
that I have no idea what I'm doing.
You'll be great.
Just be your amazing self.
Okay.
Oh, I brought an empty cardboard box.
Kids love these!
Huh... isn't that more of a... cat thing?
But you know what?
Hey, maybe it's also a Ruby thing!
Let's find out. Okay.
Okay, this meeting will not take long at all.
I'll be back as soon as possible. In and out.
You've got this.
Hello again. Thank you for coming.
Uh, of course.
How was the rest of your day?
Good, just... very busy.
Yeah, we were busy too.
We did yoga.
Wow, 5-year-olds doing yoga,
that must have been quite a sight.
[laughs] Yeah.
So, what's on the Room Mom agenda?
Do you want me to...
to paint something? Put together some snacks?
What are we doing?
Is everything okay? Yeah, yeah, of course. Why?
You seem a little... flustered.
Ah, no, no, I do not.
It sounds like someone needs to use the Feelings Metre.
Huh... are you serious?
Oh, I'm dead serious.
Oh, well, I'm fine.
I think we should get to work.
No.
[laughing]
No.
You are not gonna stop. Oh great.
This is a child's chair.
It is intended for a child.
Great.
So how are you feeling?
Are you feeling happy?
Are you feeling sad? Oh, wow.
Are you feeling... angry?
Oh. That is quite an expression.
Um... but this graduation ceremony
isn't going to plan itself.
Come on, just give it a try.
Okay, if this will expedite the process...
Ah.
I am feeling... anxious.
Thank you for sharing that you feel anxious.
It's okay to feel anxious sometimes.
Um, I'm also feel swamped,
but I doubt there is an emoji paddle.
We don't.
But thank you for your feedback.
One may be added. [chuckling]
Thank goodness.
I'm not gonna pry, but I believe in you.
There might be something to this, I...
I'm actually feeling a little bit better.
See?
Okay, yes.
Alright, let's get down to business
so we can get you back to your prior obligations.
Butterfly Graduation is just around the corner,
so I'm thinking we start with decorations.
So follow me.
We are gonna cover this in butterflies.
Like snow angels.
Wait, what?
We're not afraid to get messy in kindergarten.
Uh, well, I am... not in kindergarten.
And I am very much in my work clothes.
Are you scared of getting a little paint on your clothes?
Yes. Yes, I am.
My blazer and I are both terrified.
Well, because you're scared to get paint on your clothes,
we will use the stencils instead.
Why do I feel like that was always the plan.
Huh... 'cause I want to keep you on your toes.
[giggling]
[laughing]
I think this one is going to go right there.
Oh really? Yeah.
Well, that's gonna go right there.
Well, that didn't work at all, so...
I have a brilliant idea.
What if we turn the Butterfly Graduation
into an open house for the public?
So like parents and kids can drop in?
Yeah! Not just drop in, but really experience all of...
all of this, everything that so great,
everything that so fun about the Butterfly Primary.
I really like that idea.
I think it could work.
Great, it settled. I will get right on it.
These decorations turned out fabulous!
I had a great painting partner.
He did. My butterflies are way better than his.
[laughing]
Thanks for waking Ruby up so I could say goodnight.
She went right back to sleep, miraculously.
My schedule at the hospital has been grueling.
I don't know what I would have done
It's the least I can do.
How are you doing?
while you try to do your job.
Uh... it's been fine, actually.
A breeze.
Hey, maybe this is good practice for you.
If you decide to have kids of your own someday.
No, not in the plans. You know that.
Okay, well, I'm just mentioning it.
You never know.
I definitely know.
Not in the plans.
Okay. Everything's been going okay?
Yup.
He's a great guy, isn't he?
Have you been--
Okay, uh, big day tomorrow.
I gotta go! I love you.
What's wrong, hon?
You haven't even touched your Choco-loopers.
I'm not that hungry.
I have a big meeting this morning,
so guess who's going to take you to school?
Jamie!
Dottie is broken.
Um... she looks okay to me.
No. She doesn't want to go to school.
I'll have to stay home with her.
Um, I will be right back. You take care of Dottie.
I am so glad you're here.
[sighs] We have a... a problem.
That way.
Hey, Ruby, what's going on?
Dottie got hurt on the leg.
Dottie got hurt on the leg?
I might have something that can help.
Where did she get hurt? Right here?
Yeah.
There we go.
[clapping] All better.
So her dinosaur is feeling better?
She is all bandaged up.
I don't think her mood was really about Dottie at all.
I think Ruby is a little sad that her mom wouldn't be here
for her usual Friday pizza night.
Uh, right. They were on the phone last night.
That must have come up.
I have... I have no idea what I would've done without you.
Just holding up my end of the bargain.
Bargain?
Yeah, our deal.
I help you, you help me.
Of course, bargain. Good deal.
Um... great. Yeah.
Ruby, you ready for school?
Thank you so much, Jamie.
Of course, anytime. [Ruby]: Yay!
Come on, let's go.
Here are the posts and videos from our influencers.
Wow. Buzz seems to be building.
This looks great so far.
Just got off the phone with Paloma.
She seems very happy with the change in tide.
That is such a relief.
this will be a huge get for the firm.
And obviously smooth sailing for your promotion.
Yes!
Thanks in large part to you. Stop.
That's really good stuff.
Thank you so much for watching her after school.
Of course.
Hey, bug.
How are we doing?
Ruby is normally a great friend,
but today she got a little upset
Wow. Okay, well,
that certainly doesn't sound very kind.
I think we need to draw Mathilda an apology picture.
Usually Ruby's a great kid.
Yeah, she is.
You know, kids can act up
Oh, well, that's not it.
You don't think so?
No. I mean...
maybe it's a little weird
with the transition of her mom not being around,
but I've been spending a lot of time with her.
[phone chiming] Sorry.
[chuckling]
Okay, maybe this is proof
that I'm not as good at balancing it all...
as I would like to be.
The thing is, is this campaign that I'm running right now,
if it goes well, I'm up for partner at my firm.
Wow, that's great news.
Although, it means that I'm expected to be--
Always be available.
50, 60-hour work weeks.
Exactly.
You know what? I... I'm going to find a way to prioritize
spending time with Ruby.
I don't know how, but I'm gonna figure it out.
I believe in you.
So, are we still good for our meeting at 7 p.m.?
With the address I texted you?
Yes. Thank you, again.
Why don't we get started on that?
What's the occasion?
I'm meeting with Elizabeth.
That woman you did art and crafts with?
Our very helpful Room Mom, yes.
We're meeting for dinner to discuss graduation plans.
Is the Butterfly Graduation
really the reason for this dinner date?
[scoffs] This is not a date,
it's a dinner meeting.
And Elizabeth's incredibly savvy with these sorts of things.
Look at the open house invitation.
Wow, that looks great.
We have tons of engagement already.
It's very kind of her
to help us with our little school.
I just hope it will bring us the publicity we need
to stay open next year. Me too.
Thank you so much again for babysitting.
Of course. Well, the good news is,
I'm now 99% sure Ruby is not the ghost of a Victorian girl.
[laughs]
I also brought her two empty cardboard boxes.
Oh, she is gonna love that.
Here, give me your phone.
in case of emergency.
And I'll make sure that he has yours too.
Is it... a new lipstick shade?
It's just, you've been meeting with Jamie a lot lately.
More than you usually meet with clients.
What? No, no, I haven't.
No, I have not!
And I'm helping him save his school.
Okay, I have to go.
Yup.
Hi. Hi.
You look nice. Nice?
Alright, alright.
splattered in paint.
First I'm photogenic, now I'm nice.
[giggles]
Wow, um...
I just wanted to pick a nice spot for our dinner meeting.
Right.
So how's Ruby doing?
Really good, actually.
She absolutely loves when Franny babysits.
She brings empty boxes.
Yeah. Catnip for children.
[giggles]
Aw, are you two enjoying a date night away from the kids?
Yes, it's so rare for us.
[giggles]
Yeah, I'll take one too, please.
Of course. Thank you.
Are you playing along? [chuckles]
So are you originally from here?
I realized I don't know that much about you
other than your... your Wall Street past life.
I was born and raised in Chicago.
And I have four younger siblings.
Four?
It was a full house.
Wow. So you're the oldest...
Things are starting to make sense.
When I was younger, my parents passed away in a car accident
and I had to step up.
I'm so sorry to hear that.
Wow, so you must've really raised them.
Well, we needed money, so I needed to make money.
And... that came in the form of a finance degree
and a career in consulting.
Makes sense.
And here you go. Ah, thank you so much.
Thank you. You're very welcome.
Well, cheers to your career change.
So then I got my master's in teaching
and leveraged a few of my contacts
to open the Butterfly Primary.
Wow. Still, it seems like such an unexpected shift.
Um, my mother...
she was a kindergarten teacher.
A fantastic one.
What a beautiful way to honour her memory.
Exactly.
I still can't believe that you have so many siblings.
Do you want a big family yourself?
Um... I'm open to having kids.
With the right person, of course.
How about you?
Yes, of course. Open, as well,
as long as it is with the right person.
to really balance raising a family and my career.
I love it so much that I would never want to have
to let it go completely.
Nor should you have to.
That's the thing...
Kat and Ruby's dad...
they really disagreed about that
and that's actually what split them up.
Well, Kat's doing an amazing job with Ruby.
She's a great kid.
She really is.
for the past couple years, but you've reminded me
that family is what set me on this path to begin with.
Family is the most important thing.
No matter what form it takes.
Yes.
This is excellent. It's very good.
It was so good. So good.
You need to take a spin before you go home.
Oh.
You heard her, Mom and Dad need to go for a spin.
[giggles]
Oh, Mom and Dad do, do they?
They do.
Okay.
I'm really not much of a dancer.
[soft music]
Thank you so much for helping out with Ruby.
It really means a lot. Anytime.
I just realized, we completely forgot
to talk about the open house.
It's because we were having such a great time.
Well, not to worry.
I've got a few calls ahead of me this weekend.
I'm going to get the Butterfly Primary
in some great Chicago publications.
Thank you. That sounds great.
I appreciate everything you're doing.
Yeah, I mean, it's just part of the deal, right?
Yup.
Right, the deal.
Oh, wow!
Oh, thank you.
Oh... hello.
I already watched them all.
Are you sure about that? Yes.
Okay. [doorbell rings]
Ooh, careful.
Hi... What are you doing here?
I've come to surprise Ruby for a fun Sunday activity.
Jamie!
Well, how did you know? We're just...
bouncing off the walls in here.
I mean, with the open house and the jewelry campaign,
I feel like you could use some... help.
Reinforcements are definitely needed.
It's like she took a sugar pill.
Okay. Huh... I'm gonna show you a little trick.
Okay?
Hey, Ruby?
Yay!
Three... two... one... freeze!
How is it that easy? It's that easy.
Okay, I could've used that 24 hours ago.
You've been withholding information.
Hey, Ruby, we're gonna go on an adventure, okay?
Okay!
Wow.
Why don't you come with us?
I can't. Too much work.
Come on. You could take a little bit of a break.
Yeah, just a little one.
"Three, two, one, freeze", who knew.
Welcome to the Farmer's market.
Do they have fruit snacks here?
I don't think so, but look at all these beautiful
fresh fruits and vegetables.
What do you say we find something for Grandpa to eat?
Brussels sprouts!
Oh, huh... thank you.
Oh look at that, Ruby, there is colouring.
Why don't you go check that out with those kids?
Well, so many beautiful choices.
I know. So... you cook?
Hmm...
Mostly healthy stuff.
Nothing kid-friendly, according to Ruby.
So, what's this whole campaign that's keeping you so busy?
It's a... jewelry campaign. My client, Paloma, the founder,
she said publicly that the best accessory any women could wear
is an engagement ring.
That is exactly the reaction that all of the Internet had.
What about you?
Um... many women, I think, dream about their wedding,
about being married, but I... I never did.
What did you dream about?
The great unknown.
I guess I always had a dream about...
falling in love with someone,
and have a white picked fence and kids" thing.
No?
I just never wanna be... boxed in.
Well, your job is a pretty big box.
Yes, but it's always changing. There's just something...
so liberating about not being tied down.
Well... maybe it doesn't have to be one or the other.
Maybe your life could look however you want
with whomever you want.
Yeah, maybe... maybe it can.
Do we get to make the dough?
You do get to make the dough.
And maybe this way, Aunt Lizzie gets some work done.
Okay!
Why don't you go wash your hands?
I think she has completely forgotten about pizza night
with her mom, so... thank you.
Of course. I love spending time with her.
Yeah. So do I.
Huh... I'm so sorry,
I was supposed to finish this email.
Okay.
It never ends.
Ah!
Ready to shape your dough?
I wanna make a dinosaur pizza.
Oh, that's creative. I'm sure we can do that.
Hmm... it's time for Aunt Lizzie's pizza.
What shape should hers be?
Oh, a rectangle!
Like her phone.
[Jamie laughs]
Because she loves her phone!
Hey, at least we now know that you know your shapes.
Maybe that's my sign that I should help the pizza chef here.
No! It's my job.
Oh... okay.
Well then, what is... what is my job?
You do the pepperoni.
Got it. I am the pepperoni master.
Pepperoni it is.
How many pepperonis?
Maybe four. Four? Okay.
Should we use the pepperoni for eyes?
Yeah!
Yes?
What else should go on it?
Hmm... tomatoes for the teeth. The smile, peppers.
Peppers. Good call.
Cheese for the nose.
And for the skin, you could put sauce.
Okay, let's do it.
The kitchen is spotless.
You are amazing.
Hmm...
You are amazing at... dishes.
Just the dishes?
Yeah. And...
getting... burnt cheese off pans.
It's the first time I've received that compliment.
Yeah, you're... you're quite good at that.
And... the counters.
The counters are... very clean.
Mm-hmm.
I do think you're amazing...
at a lot of things.
Aunt Lizzie?
Can I have a drink of water?
Hmm, yes!
I think I should probably... Yeah. I'm gonna head home.
Goodnight.
[Felicia]: Jamie, hi, it's Felicia.
I don't know if anyone listens to voicemails anymore,
but you're hard to get a hold of these days.
I'm sending an email too, at some point.
wanna know if you'd reconsiderI coming back to the firm.
It'd be a new role,
and there'd be a generous compensation package.
orth your while. I want you toW really consider it,
and I'll be in touch.
What do you think, Mom?
Something on your mind?
Hmm... sorry. How could you tell?
You just gave that table four bottles of glue.
Ah! Well, there is, actually.
My old Wall Street boss messaged me last night
and want me to consider coming back to the firm.
I didn't realize you were considering a career pivot.
I wasn't, but...
I was hoping that the fortunes of the school would change.
But?
But maybe I'm being too unrealistic?
Because there's a probability
we might not be able to reopen next year.
Are you having doubts?
Just... maybe running a school isn't my forte.
Maybe someone else should be in charge,
and I could just run the business side.
That could be one path you could take.
Part of me feels like the school was a noble experiment,
but... it failed, so...
maybe it'd be better if the doors... were closed.
I'm sure every single kindergartener we've taught
would say no to that.
It's just a lot of the choices that I makeheart.
will affect a lot of people, and it's... a little scary.
If you're worried about disappointing anybody, don't be.
I knew your mother very well.
She would be so incredibly proud of the school you've built,
no matter what happens.
Thank you.
I appreciate that.
Wow, look at the cocoon our friend built.
I believe that's a sign.
Perhaps we're all on a transition period.
Sure feels like it.
And I think that from uncertainty
something beautiful can and will emerge.
That's how life works.
I hope so.
I know so.
Come on, the kids are coming.
Let's go.
Give me your pep talks.
Hmm... Elizabeth?
Yes?
We have a... small problem.
Okay, what's up?
It looks like some of the influencers
we've sent advance samples of the diamond rings to
believe they're... fake.
Fake?
I picked that up.
They're fake.
They're calling them "lab-grown".
That's... ridiculous, right?
I mean... why would they care if they're grown in a lab anyways?
Well, apparently Paloma has always used real diamonds.
She's known for it.
Lab-grown aren't worth as much.
Who wants to buy something that's not real?
So we just... we need to set the records straight.
I don't know. There is a ton of videos flying around online
using the word "fraud" and... getting a lot of views.
Sentiment around Paloma is not great.
Oh and there's... one more thing.
What is it?
Paloma is... in the conference room.
Right now.
Paloma. I had no idea you were here.
Thank you for coming in.
What is this?
I came straight from bowling.
So what's going on?
It seems they are calling me a fraud now.
Paloma, we really think
We have a really good handle
on which influencers are involved.
The only thing I am wondering about is,
why would they think they are lab-grown at all?
Because they are.
I see.
It was technically an omission.
We will fix this, I promise.
This is the sort of due diligence
that should've been done at the beginning of a campaign.
I... I agree.
You know, we're supposed to be doing damage control,
not causing the damage.
Yes. And I should've caught it.
I accept full responsibility.
This isn't like you. You seem to be... distracted lately.
Which is unusual for my star publicist.
I apologize for that. Truly.
But I can assure you I am laser focused on Paloma's campaign.
It is my number one priority.
There is an expectation here at the Bridgeshore Group
that a partner embodies certain qualities.
You understand what I'm saying?
And I don't want to do anything
that puts my promotion in jeopardy.
Well, good.
Now, fix this, please.
Paloma scares me.
From the very beginning. We did the best we could.
And... and I should've been right there in the middle too,
monitoring every step of the way,
but I was just... I was so... shortsighted.
This was my fault. I should've caught this earlier.
I should've... Franny, no. Okay?
You, you are amazing. This.... this is... my account,
and ultimately my responsibility.
Maybe I have been spending too much time with Jamie.
But you've been helping him so much.
Yeah, but if it's...
if it's putting all of our hard work in jeopardy,
it's putting our client at risk, I clearly...
I have my priorities out of line.
You've been doing a great job managing all your priorities.
I thought so too, but...
I think today is a sign that I am...
I am way off track.
Something's gotta change.
Hey. I was hoping we could finish the diplomas tonight.
Final grades are in. Everyone passed kindergarten.
Looks like they'll really graduate tomorrow.
I'm so sorry, I have... a lot of work to do, so I can't.
Don't you want me to hang with Ruby for you?
No. I have it all under control,
and I am going to have to put Room Mom
on the back burner for the time being.
And actually I won't be able to make the open house tomorrow.
But I promise everything is all set up,
and it should all go smoothly. So, no worries, it'll be great.
Okay... What... Just... what happened?
Everything's great.
And I am not one to back out of a commitment.
But this is just the way that things have to be right now.
You understand.
Well... okay.
You too. And... thank you for understanding,
and please tell everyone congratulations on my behalf.
I sure will.
Goodbye, Jamie.
You want to go and get some ice cream?
Oh yes, I would like to get some ice cream. Very much.
Okay, come on.
What's wrong?
[sighs]
What is it?
Hmm... Some very important things came up at work,
and unfortunately,
I'm no longer going to be able to make
your Butterfly Graduation tomorrow. I'm so sorry.
It's okay. Mommy had to be a superwoman
at work sometimes, too.
[line ringing] [Felicia]: Jamie?
ell me you're calling me to sayT you can start Monday.
That's it. Something came up.
Mm-hmm.
I'll be right back.
Hey, Ruby. How are you feeling?
[sighs]
Yeah. Me too.
I know we had to release Grandpa now
that he's a butterfly,
but I'm going to miss him.
I'm gonna miss him too.
But it doesn't matter where he ends up,
if it's in Chicago or... in San Francisco,
I'm sure he'll be very happy.
You know, I think that open house went very well today.
I met a lot of nice parents today
who seemed to be very impressed with our little school.
I think so.
Is everything okay with our Room Mom?
Hey, can I come in?
Hi! How was graduation?
It was good.
You look so good. I love your hat.
You know what? Why don't you two talk. I got this.
I'll be right back. You save a cupcake for me, okay?
Hey.
This looks great.
I'm glad you came.
Yeah, I was just putting out some fires at work.
You seem really dedicated to that jewelry line.
Yeah, I am.
Doesn't seem to give you much time for... you.
Not at the moment, no.
Is it worth it? For... jewelry?
And... it's alright to love something that you're good at.
Yes. People find meaning in all kinds of ways.
And for some people it's just family, but for me,
it's... it's also my job.
What?
I realize I had the wrong impression.
Okay, I'm confused. I thought you of all people,
the founder of a passion project school, would understand this.
I've been honest about who I am
and what my priorities are this whole time.
Yeah.
Yeah, you're right.
Listen. Maybe when Ruby's back with her mom
and I finish up with this campaign, we can...
we can revisit things.
Well, the open house did drum up some interest, so...
thank you. Yeah.
But I don't think it will be enough for me
to reopen again next year.
Oh, really?
I guess this is a sign that I am no good at running a school.
Come on. That's a little hasty, don't you think?
I'm stepping down.
Wow. Hmm... Okay, well, congratulations!
And good luck to you!
You too.
Yeah.
And maybe a cupcake.
Got everything, bug?
Are you sad, Aunt Lizzie?
No. No.
I just can't believe my little Ruby graduated kindergarten.
It feels like it was just last week
I as holding you in the hospital after you were born.
I'm a little sad.
Well, it is okay to feel sad.
We should get some ice cream.
We'll stop on the way home.
Hi!
Alright.
Oh no.
I wanted to come and tell you in person.
I know you're with Ruby for a bit longer.
It's okay. You look worried. What's going on?
Okay, talk to me.
The rings are... the wrong colour.
The wrong colour?
Some of the rings are using brown diamonds
instead of clear ones.
Brown diamonds? How do this... how does this even happen?
I think it's a... problem at the lab.
Okay, okay. Um...
Yeah, some of our customers are not going to be thrilled
about this, but you know what?
We... we're gonna do what we do best.
We are gonna find a way to spin this. I promise.
Quickly. Aunt Lizzie?
Is it time to go to the park like you promised?
Yes, yes, we are going to go to the park
as soon as you put your shoes on.
She can play on the jungle gym while we brainstorm.
Yeah. Oh, I can't do it.
Oh, and I can help you with that.
No. I... I'm not supposed to do that.
You're not supposed to help her tie her shoes?
I'm supposed to let her... fail.
Let her fail? Let me fail?
Let your fail in a... loving way.
It's good for kids to fail.
It's good for kids to make mistakes.
It's just something that... that Jamie told me.
Oh.
Look, I did it!
Looky there.
Looks like it worked.
I'm glad the classroom plants will be going to a good home.
They're getting a new plant mom
who will love them very much.
Hey, Carol.
I wanted to say thank you,
for all your help these past few years.
It was an absolute joy to be a part of this school.
However brief, it was a beautiful time.
It was?
it was a gift. And I learned a lot.
Thanks. I did too.
You know, I never did get a chance to thank our Room Mom
for all her help.
Graduation was busy.
I don't think she thought anything of it.
I was thinking of sending her a thank you note.
I believe it's never too late to let someone know
they're appreciated.
Aunt Lizzie?
Yeah, bug? What's up?
Dottie doesn't feel good.
She doesn't?
She's sick.
She looks okay to me.
Hmm...
You know, why don't you come... come sit down for a sec.
So what about you? Are you feeling sick?
No?
Do you miss your mom?
Yeah?
Well, don't you worry. You're gonna see her again soon.
But in the meantime, how about...
we read some books?
Yeah? Does that sound fun?
Yeah. Okay.
And I promise Aunt Lizzie is gonna fix some things tomorrow.
Edward, do you have a minute?
Hmm, well, actually...
No worries, I know you're busy, I will be brief.
My sister just started a new job in San Francisco,
so I am parenting my niece Ruby for a couple more days.
That's her.
Given these circumstances,
I would like to request some accommodations from the firm.
Accommodations?
I would really appreciate some support and flexibility,
so that I can both be there for the campaign and there for Ruby.
Paloma, hi. I'm so sorry,
I thought that you were in a meeting.
Nonsense. She has far too much on her plate,
doesn't she, Edward?
Darling. I raised two children
while I built my business from the ground up.
I wish I had more support.
Especially after my husband and I separated.
So dear, what do you need?
Yes, I mean, Elizabeth,
you mean a lot to us. We're happy to help.
What can I do?
Carol, hi.
Hey. Sorry for popping by unexpectedly.
I won't be long, Harry's waiting for me outside.
Actually, I thank you for interrupting
my New York apartment hunt. It's been giving me a headache.
Well, I have something to give you before you leave.
and we put this together for you.
The kids each wrote something they learned from you.
This is too kind of you. All of you.
Well, everyone wrote something except for Charlie,
he just wanted to draw you a picture of a dragon.
[laughing]
It's perfect.
You made quite an impression on a lot of lives.
Well, I'm gonna get going.
But I expect to hear from you
as soon as you're settled in New York. I need regular updates.
Yes, ma'am.
I think you're a born teacher. And not everybody is.
Remember that.
Thank you so much.
So we will subtly spin the line of lab-grown diamonds
as you line's new commitment to going green.
We'll emphasize all the ways
your company is environmentally friendly and ideally,
trigger a modern overhaul of the brand.
As for the products that's already going out,
I have a bit of a... wild pitch for you.
Let's hear it.
Nothing?
Let the diamonds go out
I've bought into your vision so far,
but... I can't quite wrap my head around this.
And I can understand that. But I...
I recently learned from a friend
that sometimes it's best to just let things play out.
Not have too heavy of a hand.
Paloma, I have a good gut feeling about this.
It seems very strange, but... I am intrigued.
Let's try it.
Aunt Lizzie!
Hi! I got your text. What's up?
Someone left someone very important at my place.
Dottie!
Wow, thank you. We would've had to turn the plane around.
She does, uh?
Wow. You know what this means?
What?
You're gonna have to come visit her a lot.
Did you have fun these past few weeks, Ruby?
I got to use the shredder!
A shredder?
Yeah, it's a long story.
Well, I refuse to see this as goodbye, so I will see it as...
see you in a couple months.
Yes. I like that a lot better.
There's some emergency fruit snacks in there for you.
Yay!
Alright, well, we have a plane to catch.
Safe travels.
Let me know when you land.
Love you. Love you.
Alright. Love you both. Love you.
Hmm, so when do you head out?
Should be on a plane in a couple of days.
Should?
If everything goes according to plan.
And what about this place?
It will be on the market by the end of next week.
Wow, so you're really letting it go.
I didn't want you, but...
Right.
Well, I should... really get back to work.
Goodbye, Jamie.
Goodbye, Elizabeth.
We have a call with a new start up client,
then I need you to approve the ads sent by the marketing people
for the summer music festival,
if they can reschedule the dinner for tomorrow.
Is that okay?
Yes. My evenings are wide open now. Strangely.
How are you feeling now that Kat and Ruby flew home?
It's so funny, but I actually... I miss her chaos.
Makes sense. You two spent so much time together.
Yeah. Okay, she insisted on bringing those cardboard boxes
back in her suitcase.
Oh my gosh. She's the best.
[sighs] She really is.
So... have you seen Jamie since the school year ended?
Just briefly.
I mean we didn't exactly part on the best of terms.
Sorry.
No, I think we just had...
different expectations about our commitments to our careers.
You handled everything the best you could.
Huh.
You know, he actually accepted a new job in New York?
What? Mm-hmm.
I know, I couldn't believe that either.
Well, I guess you made quite an impact on him.
Good or bad?
Maybe... it's not so black and white.
Hmm.
Oh, it's time with our meeting with Edward.
[deep breath]
Good luck. You too.
I'm really not sure what to say.
Well, whatever it is, we can fix it.
I've been told chocolate diamonds
are trending on social media.
[laughing]
For reasons I do not understand,
everyone has decided they're rare and special.
Well, they are that.
Seems your hands-off approach was the right choice.
That's excellent.
And how is Paloma doing?
Ecstatic!
Very satisfied with everything.
Which brings me to my next item: the board is in agreement.
The firm wants to welcome you as partner.
Yes!
it is an honour.
And Franny,
Thank you!
Thank you so much! You're welcome.
Thank you!
Yes!
Thank you.
So, it seems like we've come to an agreement
over compensation?
I think we have. It sounds great.
I'll most likely need you to do some travel,
which we'll just have you expense.
No problem. I can travel.
And you'll find the firm's strategy has changed a bit,
and so will your role.
that I'd be doing the same work I did last time.
Education?
There are huge profits to be made from investments in schools
and colleges. Profits like you wouldn't believe.
Uh, where do I come in?
We need your experience
to help us cut cost in the businesses we invest in.
You mean the schools that you invest in?
Business, school, it's all the same to us.
I'm not sure I view it the same way.
Schools need to operate like a business.
And that's where we make our money.
So what do you think?
I'm just... coming back from the other side
of the equation here, and it's a huge 180.
That's exactly why I got in touch with you
to come back on board.
Education is an untapped industry.
With your unique experience,
you can help us find new profit angles.
I have a wise friend who taught me
some important lessons recently.
And one of them is, if you can,
you have to find meaning in your work.
It has to... it has to feel right.
So... does this opportunity feel right?
Today, we're talking about chocolate diamonds.
Look at these!
It's amazing, isn't it? Yeah.
Congratulations to us.
You know what's strange?
They're hanging out tonight. Wait, what?
Bowling. Overheard it. Bowling? Okay.
I could not in a million years imagine Paloma in bowling shoes.
So weird.
So, what's so strange?
something is missing.
How so?
But this work it's just... it's not as...
It's not as fulfilling as it used to be.
Does that make sense?
Maybe because... you grew up.
You did spend a lot of time in kindergarten.
Yes, I did, huh?
Oh, did you see this? It came for you.
What?
Pretty.
I know.
It... it's from Jamie.
Congratulating me on my promotion.
And he wants... he wants to meet me.
That's great!
Wait, how would...
how would he even know about my promotion?
I... may have texted him the news.
Please don't fire me so soon after my promotion.
You did put his number in my phone
for emergencies when I babysat, remember?
I did do that, didn't I?
And this... was an emergency.
Cheers.
Franny. Mm-hmm?
You have helped me realize that there...
there is one more campaign
I need to finish before I can celebrate.
And we have to act quickly.
Can you make a few calls?
Are you kidding? Let's do it.
Yes!
Hi. Hi.
I thought that would be fitting.
Listen, I need to get this out.
I know that you've already accepted the job in New York,
but I...
I secured angel investing for the Butterfly Primary.
My client, Paloma, she's so interested
in your unique perspective for the school.
And that, coupled with a bit of Ruby's personal testimony,
she is so excited to invest!
Wow, that's... amazing! That's unbelievable.
I know you've already made up your mind, but I just thought...
if there's any chance, I... I wanted to tell you.
second thoughts about my return to corporate life.
Yeah?
I turned down the job offer.
Okay.
I want to do what makes me happy, and it's...
to run a school.
And if it's not the Butterfly Primary,
then it'd be something else.
And most importantly...
I want to be with you.
Well, I... I did some market research on my own
these past weeks. You have?
And what did you learn?
I learned that...
I wanna be with you too.
And then that is the...
the start of an adventure, not the end of the story.
I... really wanna kiss you,
but I'm feeling really nervous.
Well, thank you for sharing with me that you feel nervous.
You know, it's okay to feel nervous sometimes.
But the good news is...
[deep breath]
I think... I can fix this.
Subtitling: difuze
