- Why are endings so hard?

Is it the pressure to find the perfect way

to commemorate the journey?

Is it because it's hard to find the right words to express

all of the emotions that have built up over time?

This is probably why I just let my songs fade out,

so that technically, they never have to end.

- Mm, busting out the gel pens?

You must be working on something important.

- Yup, summer bucket list for Amy and I.

We are going to squeeze every single last drop of joy

out of summer before she leaves for Columbia.

- Camp out at the creek.

Make scrap books for every year of our friendship.

Craft recipe for the perfect breakfast sandwich? Mm.

- I already did that, it's called the bacon belly buster.

(door opening) - That sounds delicious.

- Sounds like a heart attack. - Hey, the wildflower honey

is finally jar'd up.

Wanted to give you a sneak preview.

- And great news everyone.

I mean, it only took me a million years,

but I finally found our tree.

- Ooh. - What's this about a tree?

- Mom and Dad plant a tree for their kids when they're born.

That patch of holly out back, that was for me.

- And I got that nice purple heather.

- And what about Robbie?

- Mine's the big oak by the pond.

- I guess there's no plant named Robbie.

(chuckling)

- So, what tree did you buy?

I mean, could it be maple?

Or juniper?

- Nice try, honey, but no one

finds out the name of the baby until she's born.

The nursery is two hours away, so if I leave now I think

I can make it back by dinner.

- Uh, whoa, whoa, whoa. I'll go,

despite the fact that you should not be doing any heavy lifting

and you just got off bed rest,

it is also my job to get the baby's tree.

- Something has to be. Have you done anything

to get ready for this baby?

- Holly, can you look after the Calico today?

- Yeah, yeah of course. Ooh, I'll even see if Amy

can join and we can work on our sandwich.

- But what about the Collinsville Children's club,

don't you work today?

- Oh, uh...

That actually, that doesn't start until next week.

- Oh. Great. - Great, hm.

(breathes deeply)

- We've had so many amazing times here.

- And we'll make a bunch more.

I've been working on a summer bucket list.

I know, I know, it looks like a lot, but I know that

if we focus, we can totally get it done.

- I got a summer job.

At Columbia.

I contacted this professor doing research on plant based power.

And he said he liked my moxie, whatever that means.

I'll probably just be washing test tubes.

- Okay, okay. So then we'll just have to squeeze it in

and get it all done before you leave. Which is when?

- Monday.

- But it's already Saturday.

- Look, I need to finish packing, but...

I'll come over as soon as I'm done.

Then we'll get to bucket listing. Okay?

Promise.

(door opening)

Hey. - Hey.

What's wrong?

- I'm a terrible friend.

Amy just got this huge job in New York and I should be

thrilled for her, but I'm not. I'm--

- Jealous?

- It just feels like everyone is on track to get

their happy ending except me.

- How many breakfast specials do you usually sell in a day?

- Maybe 20? - Okay.

I'll take it all.

Come on, let's get out of here.

- I'd have to be home before the dinner rush, but...

(chuckles) Tyler, where would we even go?

- It's not up for us to decide, it's up to the universe.

Heads we go right, tails we go left.

You in?

- Nice of you two to join me.

- To be honest, I had an ulterior motive.

- Grandpa, why is there a tackle box back here?

- Well, I thought we could stop on the way,

I know a great little spot not too far off the highway--

- No, no, no. We have to pick up the tree.

- We will. But look at yourself,

you're run ragged, going from farm to restaurant.

- It's my dream job, Dad.

And we're just starting to turn a profit.

- The nursery won't close for hours.

- He makes a compelling argument.

- Then, when you return home with the tree, you're a hero.

- A relaxed hero.

- Ugh, alright. Where's the exit?

- Yay! - Whoo!

- Alright. - Whoo! Fishin'!

- I think it's comin' up here on the right.

- Tails. - Then left we go.

(sighs)

- You know, I'm on to you, Flaherty.

You're trying to show that no matter how many bad decisions

I make, I'll still end up somewhere beautiful.

- Mm, honestly? I was just looking

to spend some time with you. (scoffs)

And hope that there was a waterfall nearby and you'd think

the universe was telling you that it's gonna be okay.

- See? I knew it.

- Bad plan? - Yeah, kind of.

Especially since there's no waterfall in Collinsville.

(chuckles)

Ugh, what is that smell?

- Skunk?

- Dump.

I guess that that's the message the universe has for me.

My life is garbage.

- Or... the universe is telling you that we should stop

playing this stupid game and go get some ice cream.

- I should probably go back. - Wait.

Remember what your grandma said?

Do what makes you happy.

- Yeah. She loved baking, that's why she started the cafe.

- So how about you?

What makes you happy?

(sighs)

- Helping people?

- Volunteer somewhere.

- Like you're doing in South America?

- Yeah, Peru, and building a school.

And then we're gonna build some wells for clean water.

- You know, my parents might actually go for it.

I could give back to the world while seeing more of it.

And we could do it together.

- That part sounds pretty good.

(phone vibrating)

- Sorry.

Oh, no.

- What?

- It's my Mom.

- I thought that sucker was gonna pull you

right back into the river.

- What are you talking about? I was in complete control.

Oh, are you kidding me?!

They're closed?

- I thought it was open until 8? (sighs)

- Except on Saturdays. Aw, man!

Katherine's gonna kill me!

- Wait, wait, I think I might see the tree.

Yeah, this is it. It's got Mom's name on it and everything.

It's right here.

- Yeah. Oh great.

Okay, give me a boost, Robbie. - Hey, whoa, whoa!

What are we, just gonna break in and steal it?

- You said Katherine paid for it, it's your property.

- You can't steal your own property.

- Oh, boy.

Alright, give me your foot.

(grunts)

- Mom, I can explain--

- Why you decided to close the restaurant down

in the middle of the afternoon?

Because do you know that you'll get fired

from your new job if you pull something like this.

- They can't.

- What?

- Because they decided to go in a different direction.

- But you, I mean, you turned down your offer

at the University of Wisconsin. - Yes, I know, I know.

- Holly, we agreed that you need to make a solid plan.

- Why are you putting all this pressure on me?

- Because, honey, I don't want you to make a mistake

that you can't take back.

- What, like you did? - What?

- You became a lawyer so that you could affect change

but then you just worked at the pickle factory

so that you could be close to Dad.

And then, you quit your job in Madison

because of us and now that we're all grown up,

and you can finally go after what you want,

you're having another baby.

(water splashing)

- Okay. Uh...

- What's happening?

- My water just broke.

(grunting) - Dad, you gotta lift your side.

- I am lifting my side, this bucket's really heavy.

- It feels like you're making it heavier somehow.

- What is it, oak? (grunting)

Put it down.

Okay, what's plan C?

(alarm blaring)

- Uh, try not to get tossed into jail for breaking and entering?

- Ugh. - Okay, well,

what if we use the tree as a battering ram

and then broke through the fence?

- What the-- (phone ringing)

(sighs) Oh man.

Hey, hey. Is everything okay?

- Uh, when? When?

Like ten minutes apart?

Or actually ten minutes apart? Okay, okay, um, yes.

The tree, the tree. It's right here, I've got it,

it's right here beside me.

Listen, everything's gonna be okay. I'll be home soon.

I love you too.

(sighs) Katherine's in labour.

- Oh dear.

- Oh dear?

It's your fault that we're stuck in here

and I'm gonna miss the birth of my child

and all you can muster up is, "Oh dear"?

- Hold on now, how is it my fault?

- Because you insisted that we go fishing!

- I just wanted to spend some time with you.

- That would be great if you had done that 20 years ago!

(sirens approaching)

- Robbie, help your father over the fence.

- Well, what about the cops? - I'll stay and handle them!

Now if you're gonna go, go! - What about the tree?!

- Mom needs you Dad, come on. - Go!

Robert! - Heather.

- Hey, I got ice chips, clean towels

and lots of ice cream.

- What is the ice cream for?

- Me! - Good luck Mrs. Hobbie.

- Oh. - What the heck?

- Thank you, cutie pie. - Ugh.

- Are you sure you don't want to go to the hospital?

- No, no, no, I'm gonna have the baby here,

just like I had all the rest of you. It's fine.

- So, Holly and I have to deliver little Lilac ourselves?

- It's not Lilac. - Worth a shot.

- Okay, baby's coming, okay. What do you need?

- What I need from you in particular?

Ooh, I'm gonna need you to really take a good,

long hard think about your future. Okay?

- We're still 50 miles away,

I can't believe I'm not there!

Ugh, can't you go any faster?

- Dad, the last thing we want right now is

to get pulled over for speeding.

- Ugh.

- You're not like grandpa

if that's what you're worried about.

You always put us first.

- I've just been so busy lately,

I hardly even helped your Mom get ready for the baby.

- Dad, I've always felt like you were there for me.

We're lucky to have you. And Willow will be too.

- Yeah, if we ever get home.

And it's not Willow. - Aw! I thought I had it.

Okay, you get five miles over the speed limit and that's it.

- Five? - No more.

- Okay, that midwife better hurry up,

because I am not good with blood.

- There's gonna be blood? (doorbell rings)

- Oh, thank goodness.

- Pizza.

- Guessing you don't know how to deliver a baby.

- I know how to deliver a pizza. The baby's coming now?

- What are we gonna do?

- I thought we were gonna have an all night movie marathon

because that's number five on our bucket list but...

Let's just stay calm and distract ourselves

until your Mom needs us.

- Okay. (heavy breathing)

- Breathe, breathe. - Watch TV. Yeah. Watch TV.

(TV announcer): Next up, kids today will never experience

the same success as their parents.

- Yeah, that's... nope. Skip that.

(indistinct voices on television)

(TV announcer): Justin Lewis, best known--

- Wait, wait, stop. - For his role in tween sitcom

"This Just In," is about to tell us how he went from kid actor

to having an album that has

the entire music industry excited.

- Are you sure you wanna watch this?

(Justin): Music saved me. When my parents got divorced,

music helped me make sense of my struggles with anxiety.

My first single is called, "All the Things I Couldn't Say."

- That sounds like a letter to a girl.

- Two girls, actually,

but not the way that you think.

- Let's have a listen.

♪ Had you all thinkin' I was fine ♪

♪ I was breaking down inside ♪

♪ But how could you ever have known ♪

♪ I kept my feelings on the low ♪

♪ Like a ticking bomb ready to blow ♪

♪ I just had to say something here goes nothing ♪

- Um, hello.

(Justin): What are you doing this summer?

- Aren't you literally in an interview right now?

- It's pre-recorded.

- Oh. Got it.

- I wanted to call like a million times.

I couldn't have written this song without

all the stuff you taught me.

Come to New York and write with me again.

A couple of our songs are on the album,

we only need a few more tracks to finish.

It has to be you.

Unless you have something better lined up.

- Heather, Holly, it's time.

- Can I call you later?

My Mom is literally about to have a baby.

- Of course. Give my love to Mamma Hobbie.

(door opens) - Okay, bye.

- Holly. This is perfect.

- Hush little baby don't say a word. Where's your mother?

- Upstairs.

- Makes sense. Okay,

midwife is coming up the drive,

tell her where we are. I'm coming, Katherine!

- Okay. - Towels.

- Okay, alright, let's... Okay, I'll get the midwife.

Let's go, let's go, go, go!

- Oh, do you think everything's going okay in there?

It's pretty quiet.

- Wait, I think I hear something.

- You guys wanna meet your baby sister?

(laughing)

(excited chatter)

(indistinct whispering)

No, you're both wrong. You're wrong and you're wrong.

Ladies and gentlemen, introducing...

- Baby Hazel.

- Hazel.

How did I not guess that? (chuckles)

- Do you wanna hold her?

- Yeah. - Wanna hold your sister?

This is your sister. There you go.

- I'm so sorry, Mom.

- No, sweetie.

- I'm gonna go prep some food for tomorrow.

And shouldn't take too long.

- Heather and I will help, it'll go faster.

- Hey, hey, but when you're done, can we go plant the tree?

- Are you sure you're up for that?

- Honey, we always do it

on the day that they're born.

- Yeah... - Thanks, sweetie.

You know, Holly, you were right.

I did give up some big dreams and I put them on hold.

But it wasn't a mistake because

I was really lucky I got raise

three healthy, happy and caring children.

- You're an amazing mom.

- Thank you.

And I really, when I, you know...

I project my fears onto my children.

(sighs)

And Holly, please just know that I just...

I want you to have it all.

- I think I may be able to.

Justin just called.

He wants me to come write with him in New York.

(laughs)

- That sounds like a dream come true.

- I know, right?

- But is it still your dream?

Oh, there they are.

- Oh, they're here! We can plant the tree.

(sighs)

- There's something I gotta tell ya.

- That this little tree of yours is gonna do better

in the sun and I'm thinking down by the pond.

- Bob. What would we do without you?

Alright, family. Let's roll.

- Robbie, grab that tree. - You got it.

- Uh, I'm sorry about what I said earlier.

Hey, um, how did you...

- We'll be in New York soon, right?

- I told Justin no. I'll still be helping him write,

but... writing for him full time in New York,

it just doesn't feel right.

- Because you're not saving the world?

So, you're gonna go volunteer with Tyler, yeah?

- If I do that, am I just running away?

- Sit.

- I have an idea, but...

It's big.

Like, it almost seems impossible.

- I was right here when you came up

with that idea for the open mic.

Then I watched you make it happen.

- With your help. - Alright, let's hear it.
