Hey there, baby girl.

I'm gonna be your mom.

That's right, just you and me.

Unless we can find someone
who checks all of the boxes.

Which, I have to admit,
hasn't worked out so far.

Speaking of...

Hey, I was just
about to call you.

My goddaughter's concert
should be over in a couple hours,

so I should be able to
meet for a drink by nine.

Great.

And by the way, what's
your take on kids?

All right, you two.

Make sure you have everything.

Mara Bear, let
me do that for you.

Mom, I got it.

Oh! Slow down, Mr. Healy!
This isn't the Indy 500!

That was fast.

Nila!

So glad you made it.

What are you doing out here?

Isn't the concert
about to start?

I needed a minute.

You're missing him, aren't you?

I'm okay.

I just...

I wish Mara had her father here.

Would it help you if I
said he's here in spirit?

No.

Because you don't believe
in all that stuff.

Well, I'll buy into
it if it helps you deal.

Only for tonight though.

Oh.

Harper?

Hi!

Nila, right? Mara's mom?

Yes.

Oh, and this is
Tory, her God Mom.

Harper is the school's
PR specialist,

and organizer of
everything in between.

Nice to meet you.

So is that the PR, or
the everything in between?

Um, are you okay?

Well, I guess that everyone's
gonna know soon enough.

So, my husband just
asked for a separation.

No biggie.
I'm sure we'll work it out.

Excuse me. I just
need some fresh air.

You know what?

Me too.

Sorry.

No, no, it's totally fine.

It's a huge achievement.

In fact, I was thinking
we should celebrate.

Yeah.

Okay. Let's
call it a date?

Oh.

Um, I'm sorry, Mr. Roshan,

could we pick this
up another time?

Of course, yeah.
I'll see you after the concert.

Thank you.

Sorry, we didn't mean
to interrupt, VP Bell.

No interruption.

In fact, I'm not even
sure what the protocol is.

Um, you know...

Why aren't you
guys in your seats?

The show's about to start.

We were just taking a break.

You should join us.

My husband and I are on
a little bit of a break.

- Oh.
- And I haven't gotten emotional

about Abdi's passing for
months, but tonight...

My date bailed on me...

After I told him I've
adopted a baby girl.

What?

- Oh!
- Congratulations.

Thank you.

Well, other than the baby news,

it doesn't seem like any of us

are having a
particularly great night.

Except...

Look at the four of us.

Confiding, and
kind of dishing on...

Our love lives?

Or lack of it.

It did feel really good
to just let all that out.

And it's all in the vault.

- Even your faculty affair.
- No affair!

Love Club. A picture?

What?

Oh. Ladies.

Oh.

Why not?

This Love Club could
actually be fun.

Okay.

Smile!

Oat milk latte, extra shot?

Oh, my hero.

"Ice Tales" made it
on Reese's Book List,

so we're prepping
for a big rollout.

Good. But I want new cover
art before we go to print.

And what's with this new
kid's author, Harry Olsen?

Has he signed with anyone yet?

Not yet.

There she is!

Thanks for taking care
of my little princess.

Oh, look at you.

Standing up.

Hi.

No luck with a nanny?

Oh, not unless I
wanna leave this angel

with an incompetent or
overbearing know-it-all.

Set up a call with Harry.

I need to land him
before anyone else does.

On it!

Justin!

Tory.

You're looking
stunning as always.

Oh, thank you.

You know, I was
pleasantly surprised

when you invited
me here tonight.

It's much more intimate
than our restaurant rendezvous.

Feels like maybe this
is the next step.

- Well, we're about to find out.
- Yeah.

Why don't you make yourself
at home in the kitchen,

- and I'll be right back.
- Sounds good.

Uh, Tory?

Who's this?

Justin...

Meet my daughter, Alice.

Ladies, I know it's a busy time.

And I'm getting a taste
for how busy it is

for you working moms,

after cutting my
maternity leave short.

But still, I think
lunch is in order.

Don't worry, no dating 9-1-1.

In fact, I don't even know if
I have time for that anymore.

So let's just pencil in a time,

so I can dish with my
three favourite women.

Oh, Nila, did you get me
that dress you brought in

for the spring
collection at Raymond's?

I did, and I will drop
it off to you later.

How about some mimosas?

Because prepping to
be a full on principal

is very stressful.

You all only have one or
two kids to worry about,

but when school
starts, I have 243.

True, but I also have
a PR company to run,

and at least three community
initiatives in the works,

Can we get some
more bread, please?

Okay, Tory.

You called us all for lunch.

So, what happened with Justin?

Well, I introduced him to
Alice, and then he bailed.

Not that I was optimistic.

I mean, it was already
impossible finding the right man

even before Alice.

And now they're either
done having kids,

or they're just looking for
someone to look after theirs.

Why don't you try a younger guy?

All the ones at our
office are looking

for more mature
women these days.

Really?

Not me.

Lance and I are
ironing things out.

Harper might be onto something

with the whole younger angle.

As long as your puppy's
not too immature.

Maybe this is it.

Maybe I'll never find someone.

For me, or for Alice.

That sounds a bit bleak.

Well, ever since
we joined this club,

we haven't really seen
you on a date either.

Look, it's not bleak
or sad or whatever, okay?

Because I'm busy enough,
and sleep deprived enough

as a new mom and CEO,

who by the way, still
hasn't signed anyone

since my dad handed over
the reins to his flagship.

So, I really need to land
this new kid's author.

Oh, yep, and I'm needed
back at the office.

Oh, what about lunch?

Oh, I'm good.
I just ate like a loaf of bread.

But you guys carry on,

and I'll catch up
with you later, okay?

Okay.

Bye.

Bye, Alice.

Okay, so maybe she
is right as rain?

Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no.

I have known Tory a long time.

And when something's
off, carbs happen.

Lots of carbs.

Again, the Friday
meeting needs to be shifted

just to account for
Allison's schedule.

Tory, of course,
needs to be available

for meetings and what have you,

so that needs to be taken into
account if we're going to...

Hi there.

My name is Finn McDougall,

and I'm here to
see to Tory Linton.

Do you have a meeting?

No, I was just
hoping I could drop off

my manuscript to her.

Just leave it here.

Actually, if you don't mind,

I'd like to give it
to her in person.

Just give her the quick
elevator pitch, the premise.

She'll get to it, after these.

Thank you.

As I was saying,

let's make sure everyone
on the floor has...

Yes, Monday mornings
are really important.

Hi. Hi.

And we're back.

What time's that
call with Harry?

- 2:00 PM.
- Anything else pressing?

Not a thing.

Great. We'll be in my office.

I don't blame
Tory for giving up.

It's hard being a
new mom with no help.

Well, she's been
looking for a nanny,

but her standards
are so darn high.

Says helicopter mama Shah.

I do not helicopter.

Besides, you'd be running
background checks.

That is just due diligence.

Okay, you guys know, I have the
scoop on all the best nannies

through the mother's
group I launched.

I could just arrange an
interview after work,

and we can help
her find a new one.

Maybe with more Tory time,
she'll be back on the prowl.

Ooh, "on the prowl."

Well, thank you for coming by,
and we'll be in touch.

- Thank you.
- Okay.

So, what did you think?

No way.

Really?

- I thought she had great energy.
- Yeah.

Yeah, sure, if you
like Mary Poppins

trying to shove sugar
down your throat.

Mary Poppins is lovely.

And we've interviewed
everyone on the list,

who are all highly qualified.

Well, sometimes a manuscript my
interns rate four stars

is a two star to me.

Now, who wants pasta for dinner?

Oh.

Okay.

You are not a stalker,
you are persistent.

You are the next great
writer that Linton Publishing

has been looking for.

That is you, and you are that.

Okay.

Okay.

Got penne, fusilli.

Guess we're not done.

Who's left?

No one.

Oh.

Non-gender specific. I like it.

Come in.

- A manny?
- Well, why not?

It was just Tory and
her dad growing up,

so this might
actually speak to her.

Yeah, but I don't
see his resume in here.

Why don't you talk
to my assistants here,

and I'll be right back.

Great.

Please.

So, why don't we
start with your name?

'Cause I don't see you in here.

Oh, Finn.

Findley McDougall.

Oh. Irish?

Yes.

On me father's side.

Um, so, what
experience do you have?

I've actually
been honing my craft

for a number of years now.

I love how you refer
to it as a craft.

Well, it is a creative field.

Oh, I agree.

You have to be very creative

to keep the little
one's interest.

And the big ones.

Speaking of, do
you have experience

connecting with all age groups?

I would say that my current work

speaks to a more
mature audience.

But I'm happy to
switch gears, you know?

If that's what it takes to get
the first one out the door.

Okay.

Alice has been refusing to
eat her vegetables lately,

so maybe you can give it a try.

Yeah.

It's okay.

- It's you.
- Me.

Um...

Okay.

This, it's...

Okay, so here she is.

You know...

He's got a different
vibe about him.

And whatever it is, I like it.

Yeah. Yeah, I mean...

Well, he only has to
impress one person.

Alice, of course.

Right.

Alice.

All done.

- Seriously?
- Yeah.

You didn't eat it
yourself, did you?

Was I supposed to?

Oh, by the mess on Alice's face,

it looks like she ate it.

- Here.
- Oh.

Oh, okay. Yeah, I will...

I'll grab a cloth.

So, what do you think?

Oh, come on.

It was one spoonful.

He has to check off
more boxes than that.

Well, except we're
running out of time.

No, I agree with Tory.

You don't wanna make
an impulsive decision.

Where's his resume?

I didn't see it.

Maybe I forgot to print it,

but anyone with an
appointment has a resume.

Alice! No, no, no, no, no.

Whoa, whoa!

Hey there.

Oh, that was a close one.

You're hired.

Alice, meet your new nanny.

Come here!

Silly girl.

Got you!

No, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no!

Oh, hey, how'd it go?

Well...

Um, I was hired.

I thought you
were going to Linton

to get your book published.

I was.

I did.

But when I got there,
they shoved my manuscript

underneath the stack this high.

So I spent the rest of the
day trying to figure out

where the publisher lives,

so that I could hand
deliver one to her.

But then when I got
there, they hired me...

As a nanny.

What?

Yeah, yeah.

As a nanny.

Well, at first I just thought
she was some sort of eccentric,

trying to get to
jump through hoops.

Made me feed her baby.

So you're actually doing this?

Well, of course I am.

I've been working my whole
life to get my words published.

Right? I've been dreaming
of it since grade school.

What better way to get
in with Tory Linton

than by looking after her kid.

Except you have no
experience being a nanny.

Or do you?

'Cause I can't keep
up with all your jobs.

I was a camp counselor
for a few summers.

Hey, now that's experience.

- I think so.
- Yeah.

Speaking of, can you whip
me up a legit looking resume?

Maybe answer the phone if
they call via reference?

Whatever pays the
rent, my friend.

Top of the morning to ya.

Morning. Come in.

I've already fed
Alice her bottle,

so she won't be
hungry for a while,

but I've written
out a checklist,

along with a few other
things to take note of.

Oh.

I've also brought a few
items I like to use.

Ooh. The ever popular
teething giraffe.

Oh, and...

And the Woozle.

Never fails to amuse.

Is Alice teething yet, or...

She has two and a half teeth in.

Two and a half.

Oh, right.

I think I remember that
from when I was feeding her.

This is for you.

There's a checklist in the back.

Oh, okay. Wow.

I will review this,
when Alice is napping.

Chapter 32, sleep schedule.

Got it. 32.

All right.

I should go.

Is everything okay?

Yes.

It's just odd.

You know, leaving her
for the first time.

Well, maybe stay then.

You can work from home,
and I'll look after Alice,

and then that way we can
get to know each other.

And then if she's
missing you, you're here.

Will she miss me?

Is that your experience?

- Yes.
- Okay, you know,

maybe this wasn't such
a good idea after all.

No, no, I mean,
yes, this is great.

Everything's gonna be great.

I have it all under control.

It's all right here.

All right.

Well, don't hesitate
to call me, you know,

if there's anything.

Anything at all.

I definitely will.

Okay.

And you have a good day at work.

Uh huh.

What about that celebrity chef?

She took her cookbook to Banter.

- Really?
- Yeah.

- I thought she'd love our pitch.
- Agreed.

I mean, who doesn't want their
book title on a wine label?

Right?

Oh, by the way, your
father's on his way in.

Hmm? What?
When did he fly in?

An hour ago?

Should I cancel the
rest of your day?

- Yes, please.
- On it.

Hi, huge favour to ask.

Could you and the others
stop by mine quick

and check in on Alice?

It's odd.

I don't recall seeing this
"Finn" on my short list,

or long list of nannies.

Well, it doesn't matter.

What matters is we got
Tory the help she needs.

Then why did she call us?

Hi, again.

Can I help you?

Well, Tory asked us to check in.

You know, first day
jitters, leaving her baby.

- Oh, um...
- May we?

- Oh, come...
- Oh.

Come on in.

I like your shirt.

Thanks.

Oh, watch your step.

Yeah. Ooh, sorry.

It's okay.

Where is Alice?

Oh, she's just napping, yeah.

Oh, well, that's good news.

Yes, because we wouldn't be
able to find her in this mess.

Oh, yeah, sorry about the mess.

Things got a little
wild this morning,

'cause we were
having so much fun.

Aw.

Typical man child.

I know his kind.

What's wrong with
being young at heart?

Ladies, we're just gonna
have to whip him into shape.

Otherwise, Tory will
never give another nanny,

manny, or man a chance.

Dad!

Why didn't you tell
me you were coming?

I have to announce
myself at my own company?

- Of course not.
- I'm kidding.

It was last minute, I thought
that I would hop across the pond

and bring Gregory.

Greg, meet Tory Linton.

My daughter, and new CEO
of our flagship division.

It's a pleasure. I've
heard so much about you.

Really?
Greg's been

with us in the
UK for the last six months,

where he's doing a banger
job signing new talent.

Did I say that right?

It's like you
were born in Manchester.

So Greg, what brings
you across the pond?

Well, I wanted to meet
the great Tory Linton,

so I requested a transfer.

I'm truly honoured to
be working with you.

Well, welcome aboard.

- Drew?
- Yes?

Would you mind
setting Greg here up

in one of the vacant
offices, please?

And then Tory will
show you the ropes.

Well, can't wait.

Hello?

- Oh!
- I'm home.

You're still here!

Is everything okay?

Fine and dandy.

Great. Then today was a
successful day,

because that man is perfect.

Well, maybe mildly competent.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

You're right.
Finn worked out wonderfully.

No, no, I'm not
talking about the manny,

I'm talking about Greg.

My dad brought him in
from the UK office,

and I can already tell
he checks a lot of boxes.

He already knows
I have a daughter,

and he's actually
excited to meet her.

Hey there!

How's my girl doing?

She's great.

We were just blowing
some bubbles out back.

I was doing the blowing,
and she was grabbing.

But, do you wanna come join us?

- A little debrief?
- Of course.

I'll fill you all in later.

Wanna get some bubbles?

Yeah, you do.

The bubbles are so good.

Well, I guess
the saying is true.

When you stop looking
for it, you find it.

She seems pretty sold.

Except...

I've never seen a man
make Tory smile like that.

Whoa!

Whoa.

Oh, wow, is that magic?
Look at those bubbles.

Oh, good morning.

Good morning.

Good morning, my princess.

Hi!

I read...

Aren't you supposed to
check the temperature?

I mean, I normally
just do it on my wrist.

Oh.

Right.

That's easier.

Um, I prepped you your bagel.

Oh, thank you.

I noticed you grabbed it
on your way out yesterday.

It's toasted, with just
a little bit of butter.

Is that okay?

It is, yeah.

- Thank you.
- Yeah.

So, busy day at work then?

- Always.
- Mm.

What is it that you do exactly?

Book publishing.

Oh, wow.

So, what is it about a book

that makes you
decide to publish it?

Originality, a gripping
story, relatable characters.

- Isn't that right?
- Uh huh.

- Yeah.
- Uh huh, oh.

- Yeah.
- Uh huh.

Oh, I have to go.

But I'll see you two after five?

- We'll be here.
- Okay.

You be good.

Oh.

Oh, don't forget the bagel.

You know what I
think we're gonna do?

You and I are gonna
go on a field trip,

'cause I know my book checks
off all your mommy's boxes.

Good morning.

Good morning, boss.

Here.

I heard you have a
penchant for baked goods,

so I got you the UK
delicacy, scones.

Thank you!

You're so thoughtful.

You know, I just had a bagel,

my manny got it for
me this morning,

so I'm gonna have to
dive into these later.

Oh, I'm sorry, your what?

Manny. It's what
we call a male nanny.

Huh.

Now, let's strategize,

because this kid's book
that Harry Olsen wrote

has everyone
clamoring to sign him.

Don't worry, I'm on the case.

I was thinking, we could offer
him a three-year contract

with the option to renew,

and branch out into literature.

Seeing as, well, most authors
wanna be taken seriously.

Right, although, I think authors
who write for children

have a certain gift.

Sorry to interrupt, but
creative needs you to sign off

on the new "Ice
Hills" book cover.

I'll be right back.

I'll grab you a coffee.

That's not why you were hired.

I know. But I don't mind
adding it to the job description.

Wow, look at this.

Look at how fancy
mommy's office is, huh?

Mommy's a big,
important boss lady.

Yes, she is.

Yes, she is.

Let's make sure she gets
this very important manuscript.

That's why we brought...

Hey, can I help you?

Oh, hey.

No, no, we're good.

We're just here to see Tory.

Miss Linton, mhm.

With her baby, mhm.

- Finn?
- Hey!

What are you guys doing here?

Oh, we just came
to see you. Yeah.

Felt like this little one
was missing her mommy.

Oh, I was missing
you too, my angel.

This is your daughter
I've heard so much about.

- Yeah.
- May I?

Oh, of course.

Wanna go see Greg?

Hi!

Oh.

- Oh?
- Aw.

Oh, oh, oh.

Oh, I'm so sorry.

Oh, come here.
Aw, you're okay.

Are you okay?

- Oh.
- No worries.

Here, here.

Could you help Greg
while I clean her up a bit?

Yeah, sure.

- I can do that.
- You sure?

- Yeah. Thank you.
- Oh, okay. Mhm.

Oh, you're tired.

Um, you know what? She's
seeming pretty tired.

Maybe I should take
her home for a nap.

Yeah, probably better.

Hey, why don't we
put you back in this?

Thanks for stopping by.

Yes. It's bedtime
for Baby Alice.

I know!

Oh, you might fall
asleep right here right now.

All right, I'll see you at home.

Yeah, I'll see you at home, mhm.

- Bye!
- Bye, Greg.

Well.

I'm so sorry, let me
have that dry cleaned.

Absolutely not.

It's my pleasure having your
child's burp all over me.

And in fact, I hope I get
the opportunity again.

But before that,

I was wondering if I
could have the opportunity

to take you for dinner,
if I might be so bold.

Hello? We're home.

Why am I yelling? She's
probably sleeping.

I'm so glad you came over,
I have so much to tell you.

Oh, I am all eyes
and ears, thank you.

So who is the fairytale fan?

I saw the "Brothers Grimm"
collection on the bookshelf.

That would be me.

Yeah, well, I had the Aesop
collection when I was a kid.

It was a limited edition.

My favourite was "The
Mouse and the Lion".

Oh. Mine was "The Tortoise
and the Hare".

Look at that.

Both of you, little bookworms.

Ooh, have you looked at these?

They look like
they're on the verge.

- Really? Give me one.
- Okay.

Mm.

Yeah, good catch.

Yeah, mhm.

By the way, could you
stay later tomorrow night?

I have a dinner.

With who?

My colleague, Greg.

I can do that.

Well, my roommate, Ben,

is hosting a Call
of Duty tourney,

so I'd rather not
be there anyway.

That's great.
Thanks, Finn.

Yeah.

Oh. I will, that's me.

Oh! That's a hungry cry.

Thank you.

Mhm.

So...

Seems like Finn is
really working out.

Surprisingly, he
hasn't let me down yet.

He even brought Alice
to the office today.

You know, I've always
felt that the most

attractive trait in a man is,
has connection with your kids.

Lance has always been
so great with the kids.

But what's even sweeter,

is a man who connects with
children that aren't even his.

Oh, I agree.

You should've seen
Greg today, with Alice.

He was amazing.

I mean, that's a plus,

but I was actually
talking about Finn.

I saw your little
connection earlier.

No. No, no, no.

Okay, well, don't poo on an idea

unless you've proven
it's a bad one.

Mm-mm. Trust me.

Finn wouldn't check off
a single box on my list.

- Is this a hypothetical list?
- Come on.

Everyone knows what they
want or what they don't want,

and that is not what I want.

Hey, how's the mission going?

Ah, just still
working on strategy.

But I tell you, this Alice,
she's just the cutest.

She has this thing with her
face when she gets excited,

it's like...

Here, take a look.

I snapped this photo
of the two of us.

Oh, yeah.

Okay then.

Now I just need to figure
out a strategic place

to leave my manuscript.

Not at the bottom of
some pile, you know?

Well, then find out
where she likes to read

and just leave it there.

Like you, you always
write in the park.

- First place!
- Yes!

I wonder why.

Thank you.

You know, it's been a while
since I've taken some "me" time,

so, thank you.

Hey, thank you for
sharing your time with me.

Cheers.

Cheers.

Mm.

If you need to check in, please.

Oh, no, it's fine.

I'm sure Finn has
everything under control.

You know, it's interesting,
this manny business.

Do you ever fear it might
be a bit confusing for Alice,

having another man around the
house that's not her father?

Well, she doesn't have one.

So, no, I don't.

Of course, I mean, you'd know
best, obviously.

Although not all
men could be trusted

to behave appropriately
around a beautiful woman.

Okay.

If I were Tory Linton,
where would I read?

Ooh, bingo.

"Crosshairs".

That's a bit cliche.

Hm.

Well thank you for that.

It's been a lovely evening.

Agreed.

Although...

Next time, I'd be happy
to bring dinner to you,

so you can be at home
with sweet Alice.

Well, that's very thoughtful.

And on that note,
I should head home.

Finn?

Finn?

What are you doing
in my bedroom?

No, I was just...

You know what,
it doesn't matter.

Clearly Greg was right,

and you can't behave
appropriately around women.

No, see, I just came in...

Please leave.

I'll have Drew send
you your severance.

Just go.

This is torture. Are you sure I
should be letting her

- cry like this?
- Yes.

Okay, but you really
just let him go?

And you should've
checked his resume.

Greg wasn't comfortable
with having Finn around,

so maybe it's for the best.

Well, I hope for your sake

that Greg can calm
Alice the way Finn did.

It's okay to let her cry it out,

but how long has
she been like this?

Just this morning.

I feel like she's
teething again.

Well, we didn't do our
due diligence with Finn,

so we better do it with Greg.

I mean, we are the Love Club,

so don't you think it's time
we met this perfect Brit?

Very good point.

I'd be happy for
you to meet him.

After I find a new nanny.

I give up, I'm going to get her.

Poor Alice.

Hey, sis, it's me.

Listen, can you do me a favour
and list my flat for me?

Why? You're
not coming back to London?

Well, if I keep hitting
it off with Tory Linton,

I think what a power
couple we'd be.

Oh, which reminds me...

Would you mind
sending me a photo

of me and my niece, please?

I don't have any.

Okay, well, just send
me a photo of Abby.

You mean Gabby?

Yeah, right, yeah.

Uh, I better go.

All right, bye.

Sorry, I'm gonna
be late on rent this month.

- I got fired.
- What? Why?

Because my plan to get
on the inside backfired,

when Tory thought I was
trying to get it on with her.

So I guess that's that.

Well, she's missing out.

Thanks.

I'll call the landlord
and ask for an extension.

Thank you so much for
coming, and I'll be in touch.

I don't believe it.

Not a single nanny has been
able to get her to stop crying.

Just a thought, but why
don't you ask Finn back?

Definitely not!

I'll just make it work.

I did it before,
I can do it again.

Um, you're using a diaper to...

Yeah, look.

- Why don't you go for a walk?
- No, no, no, I'm fine.

No, no, no, we've got this.

I mean, I do need baby wipes.

Then go!

- Are you sure?
- Yes. Take your time.

- We got it.
- Okay.

- Okay? Go.
- Okay.

Okay, good luck.

Okay, no, no, no, not you.

I just, it's very loud.

The decibel's very
high and I don't...

That's okay, because
we're calling Finn.

Sorry, I'm so late.

Oh my goodness.

She finally settled.

How did you do it?

Uh...

Like, I know what you're
gonna say, but Finn?

Tell her.

The other night, that was
a total misunderstanding.

I was looking for
something in your bedroom.

When I found the manuscript,

and I just got caught
up in the story...

You got Alice to stop crying?

She stopped crying
as soon as she saw him.

It's true.

Fine. Can you start again?

Like, right now?

I'd be happy to, yeah.

Um, I do have one small request,

which might benefit both of us.

The commute in the morning is
crazy, and I was thinking...

So, you and
Mr. Linton are close.

Last few months, he's
become like a father to me.

Which makes this
whole move so great,

because now the three
of us can pal around.

What do you think?

Sounds perfect.

Oh, Finn!

Finn! Come here!

What are you doing?
Come join us.

Oh, no. I really
don't wanna interrupt.

No, no, no, I insist.
Come on, come on.

I'll make room.

Oh, are you okay?

Yes, I'm sorry.

Just the pollen does a
number on my sinuses.

Oh, here.
Let me move those.

Wine, Finn?

Oh, no, I'm still on duty.

Just checking.

Oh, that's a long day.

Finn's actually just been
promoted to live-in nanny.

Oh, really?

Well, Tory Linton always
knows what's best.

As a junior editor,
fresh outta Brigham,

who lands her first
successful book series,

the Oracle Trilogy,

before becoming one of
the country's youngest

and most eligible publishers.

So...

What's your thoughts
on children, Greg?

Oh. I adore them.

In fact, I keep a photo
of my niece in my wallet,

just so I don't
miss her too much.

Aw.

Oh, look how cute.

Is that a second thumb?

Well, I hate to
be a party pooper,

but I have a very early
meeting, so I best be off.

I'll walk you out.

Well, ladies,

it's been an absolute
pleasure meeting you.

- Finn.
- Greg.

Okay.

Bit of a butt
kisser, that one, hm?

And he AI'ed or Photoshopped
that picture of his niece.

- Really?
- I proof all of our PR promos.

And that second thumb
is a dead giveaway.

You know what?
I'm gonna go to...

Good night.

- Good night, Finn.
- Good night, Finn.

Okay.

So, what are we gonna do?

Because Tory is sure Greg is it.

And once she digs in, it's
like a dog with a bone.

Then we need to convince her

that Finn is the
one she truly needs.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

How about first, we take
the bone away from Tory,

and then we see if Finn
passes the inspection.

All right there,
quality control.

What?

Let's see.

What should you be? Hm?

Princess stuck in a bear's body,

or the beloved
bear of a princess,

who finds itself on an
adventure in the big, bad city?

- Huh?
- What's going on here?

Um...

Oh, it's...

It's called Pick-a-Bear.

It's a top toy.

Basically, you just
pick bits and pieces,

and then you can
build yourself a bear

that's personalized
to your child.

Oh.

Can I help?

Yeah.

That'd be great.

Oh, let me help.

Oh, what do you think?

Is a tutu too much?

Well, if we're going
with the backstory

of a princess trapped
in a bear's body,

I don't think it's too much.

True.

So do you still like fairytales?

I just love a
good story, really.

But when I was younger,
they were definitely my escape.

What about you?

I like all stories, yeah.

When I was eight,
I actually decided

that I was gonna read
the whole library.

You know, I made it
all the way to authors

who started with the letter
"G" before I stopped.

Wow.

So if you have this
love for literature,

what made you wanna be a nanny?

Well, I've always liked kids.

But to be honest, you know,
I've just always taken odd jobs

so that I could stay focused
on writing my own book.

- Really?
- Yeah.

That's why I was so curious
when you told me what you do.

But, you know, I would never
ask you to, you know, read a...

You know, I think
that the bear's ready,

if you wanna see
if Alice likes it.

Yeah.

Come here.

Hey there.

- What do you think?
- What's this?

Hey, look at this.

It's a little teddy,

for when your mama
bear can't be around.

Mama!

- Did...
- Did she just...

She did!

She just said "Mama"!

Yeah!

Wow.

- Um.
- Oh, um...

I should go get her
ready for the park,

'cause we're gonna go play
hooky with Harper in the park.

Yeah, yeah.

I love playing nooky.

I mean, hooky.

Uh...

Uh, you should...

Finn, I'd be happy to
read your manuscripts,

if you'd like.

Okay.

Great, great.

Um, I would be so grateful.

Great.

Well, I'll...

I'll drop Alice
off after the park.

Okay.

Does that sound good?

Yeah, that sounds good.

Ma-ma-ma-ma.

You said it.

Yeah, you did.

Oh, I can't wait till
Alice is running around.

Oh, I know.

Hey, I think that
kid is a biter.

Hey, hey!

Hey, I'm watching you.

So, how's your little
family with Finn?

Not family, but he is
an interesting character.

For one, he's very well read.

Bit of a Peter Pan himself.

Wendy did love him.

Like a mother.

Oh, it depends
on the adaptation.

Oh no!

Harry Olsen's about to sign
with another publisher.

Okay, I need Drew to
get me and Greg in

on this writer's
retreat he's at.

I know.

Bring Alice and Finn.

What better way to
land a kid's author

than by showing him what
a great mom you are?

I mean, it's the best PR.

You're brilliant.

Uh, okay, let me call Greg.

Tory.

Hey, Harry's at
a writer's retreat.

Let's catch him off guard,

and use the powers
of persuasion,

money and Alice to win him over.

Alice is coming?

And Finn.

And Finn?

Really? Are you sure about that?

Very.

Grab lunch. We leave in an hour.

Okay.

Good luck.

Thank you.

Is this breaking and entering?

Because I can not get busted
just before I become principal.

Don't worry.

I have a PR presentation
in 30 minutes,

so we are gonna get this done.

All right.

Hurry, hurry.

Done and dusted.

Let's go.

Right.

Okay, we should
probably head out.

Oh!

Um...

Are you all right?

Yeah, it's just my allergies,
I'm not sure it'll pass.

Um...

Ew, your face.

- Ah...
- Ugh!

Bloody heck.

Maybe I should just go.

I should be there.

Greg, I've closed
deals on my own before.

Why don't you take
an antihistamine,

and I'll see you
when I get back.

Okay.

- Okay?
- Yeah.

Wow.

I could see how you could
get inspired out here.

It reminds me of
a wilderness retreat

I used to come on
with my parents.

You used to go to
wilderness retreats?

I did.

I never wanted to go,

but then my mom died,
and my dad stopped going.

And that's when I
wish we still did.

- Finn?
- Gemma!

What are you doing here?

I work in the restaurant.

Is this your...

Oh, Finn's my daughter's nanny.

Is that what you're doing now?

Yeah, yes. For
quite some time.

And, hey, we should
get checked in.

- Yeah?
- Yeah.

I'll see you around?

Yeah, just pop
into the restaurant.

- I'll be there.
- Okay.

Oh, right.

Old friend?

We dated, for a while.

Oh!

Anything serious?

I guess at the time it was.

Oh.

Oh, great news.

Greg's allergies cleared up.

He'll be arriving tonight.

Yeah.

Hi.

- Hi.
- Excuse me, I'm Nick.

- Hi.
- This is Josh,

- we own the retreat.
- Oh, hi.

Can we help you
get all settled in?

Yes, that'd be great.

Great. Come on in.

Okay.

I found out
Harry's having dinner

in the main lodge.

Oh, and what about Finn?

He'll be waiting
close by with Alice,

waiting for my cue to join in.

Oh, and get this.

Finn's old girlfriend
works here.

Gemma.

What kinda name is that?

I think it means
"gem" or "jewel".

Jewel? Just seems
like a bit much.

Anyway, I should go
get ready for this meeting

before Greg gets here.

Talk to you later.

But wait, Greg?

Did you hear that tone?

There was definitely a tone.

Okay, but Greg is going?

Not if he has another
hot writer to meet.

Gregory, I need you.

Some prestigious
author out of India

wants to meet with Tory,
but she's not here, so.

Well, who is it?

Nantika Chouwla.

She's won India's
top literary award,

and she's only in town
for a red hot minute.

Bring her in.

Hey, you.

Hey.

So, other than
this baby business,

you still working on your book?

- It's finished, actually. Yeah.
- Really?

Well, you'll have to
get me caught up then.

Oh, um...

I'm sure you'll
find Linton publishing

to be more of a family
than a business.

Thanks again.

Excuse me, sorry to interrupt.

I'm just gonna collect Alice.

Oh, did Harry wanna meet her?

No, he has another engagement.

Oh, here, then let me help.

Oh, you don't have to.

Oh.
No, no, no, of course.

I'm still on the clock, right?

Yeah.

And, we'll catch up later then?

Yeah, I'll be here.

Great.

Um...

Oh.

Looks like Greg won't
be coming after all.

Some big meeting
with a new author.

Hmph.

So, I'm curious.

Your name.

It isn't short
for Findley, is it?

Bingo.

My mom was a massive
fan and avid reader

of Timothy Findley's work.

She used to read "Pilgrim" to me

before bed when I was a kid.

Now that is a masterpiece.

Yeah.

I wish I'd published
it, or any of his books.

I have no doubt that you'll
find the next great author.

In fact, maybe my talents
as a nanny runneth over.

Maybe.

But I have to warn you, I'm
gonna critique your manuscript

like I would any other.

Well, I would expect no less.

What about Alice?

Is it "Alice in Wonderland"?

No.

Alice is named after my mom.

Oh.

The best mother ever.

And the reason why I
finally decided to adopt.

I wanted to be able to pass down

all the love that she gave me.

I'd say she did an
exceptionally good job.

Thank you.

Yeah.

Um, I should probably go.

I said I'd meet Gemma.

Oh, yeah.

- Go.
- Yeah.

But I'll see you tomorrow.

Both of you.

Yeah.

Yeah. Good night, Tory.

Good night.

Come on.

Good morning.

Morning!

I have great news.

Harry's signing with
Linton's Publishing.

So the weekend was a success!

Yeah.

Great! Good.

Speaking of, did you
happen to read it?

My manuscript?

Yes, yes, I did.

And?

And I think you have an
excellent lyrical sense,

but I just...

Just what?

Um...

Well, I don't know if serious
adult fiction is your niche.

Um, I wanna hear your
voice through the writing,

and I just don't
think that was it.

I'm sorry.

If I'm not honest, it's
not gonna help you.

Yeah, yeah, no, no.

Of course.

Yeah.

Thanks for taking the time.

Of course.

I'll read anything you write.

Mhm.

- Anytime.
- Mhm.

Well, we should get going.

I have some early meetings.

Yeah.

Let's hit the road.

Okay.

Okay.

Thanks.

They look like
such a nice family.

So, let me get this straight.

Finn is a nanny and a writer?

Aspiring writer.

Which I turn down all the time,

but this time just
felt, I don't know.

Well, maybe you felt bad
because you care about him?

That's ridiculous.

I'm just happy with him.

You know, the way that a
mother is happy with a nanny

who does a good job. I gotta go.

Okay, well happy birthday...

It's her birthday?

It's all right, she stopped
celebrating years ago.

Please, am I the
only one that finds it

a bit of a coincidence
that Finn is a writer?

There is no such thing
as coincidence, but fate.

I can't believe we're not
celebrating her birthday.

Look, what we did
to Greg was not fate.

Right, Harper?

Maybe we'll make her cupcakes.

Oh, I know what's
better than cupcakes.

A mom gift.

That's a good one.

- I know just the place.
- Yes.

Harry Olsen.

Let's see what's so
great about your voice.

Ah, there she is.

How did it go?

Harry's on board.

Excellent news!

Which means that we have
two things to celebrate.

Did you sign that big author?

Oh, no. She stood me up.

But rumour has it, it's
somebody's birthday.

Which I don't celebrate.

Well, how about we
toast to your success?

And I'm not gonna take no for
an answer, even from the boss.

I'll see you downstairs in
the lobby bar after work?

Sounds good.

There's no way.

I have to warn her.

Hello? Finn here.

Finn! It's Nila.

I thought you should know that
it's Tory's birthday today,

and as a new mom, I'm sure
she would love a mommy gift.

Oh, well, I could
get her a gift.

From Alice, of course.

Oh, no, no. No need.

Just meet us at the
gift shop on Brook,

and we'll set you up.

Okay. I will be there shortly.

Yeah. Bye.

I think this is perfect.

I'm just happy we're doing
something for her birthday.

I know.

Ugh.

She's meeting Greg in the
lobby bar for a drink.

No doubt he knows
it's her birthday.

Of course he does.

- Oh, hey.
- Finn.

Sorry, I got here
as quick as I could.

Just needed to verify
something on the way.

Speaking of, are either
of you familiar with

an old Norwegian fable called
"The Giant and the Sparrow"?

Doesn't ring a bell.

I read it when I was a kid.

And I'm pretty sure that
kid's author Tory just signed,

stole that exact
fable for his book.

Well, that can't be good.

No.

No, it's not.

In fact, can you just send
some photos of you and Alice,

and we'll take care of the gift?

Because you need to go to Tory

and tell her about this Harry.

Right, Nila?

Yes, right.

I don't know

Maybe I should just
shoot her a text.

Ah. Trust me, this can turn
into a serious PR nightmare.

So, go. She's in the
lobby bar of her office.

Don't worry, we have Alice.

- Are you sure?
- Yes, mhm.

- Go.
- Go.

- Go, go.
- Oh, okay.

And don't forget
to send the pictures.

Right, right.

Send the photos, yeah. Good.

Whew.

Nice work, Harper.

Thanks.

But I'm still
making the cupcakes.

Cheers.

Cheers.

To closing on Harry Olsen,

and here's something
that's not a birthday gift.

Oh?

It's beautiful! Thank you.

It's not the only piece of
jewelry I'd like to get you,

but it'll have to do for now.

And so will this tepid
birthday celebration.

In fact, I propose a redo.

Tomorrow night, your
place, I'll bring dinner.

Sounds good.

Hi.

- Finn.
- Hi.

Is everything okay?

- Where's Alice?
- She's with your friends.

They thought I should
come talk to you

about that kid's author.

Oh, we're just
celebrating his addition

to the Linton library.

Amongst other things.

What is it, Finn?

Right, yeah.

Remember when I told
you about the library

that I was trying to read
through when I was a kid?

Yes.

Yeah, well, there was
this this collection

of old Norwegian fables.

And in that collection
there was this story

about a giant that was
trying to swallow a sparrow,

just like in Harry's story.

So it's the same story?

It's exactly the same story.

I'm sorry, this is
the big emergency?

No, thank you, Finn.

I appreciate your urgency.

I'll see you at home?

Sure.

Yeah, you got it, boss.

Greg.

Bit of an alarmist, that one.

No, I think we actually
need to look into this.

Why?

I mean, what does it matter

if it sounds like
some old fable?

Well, unless it's
blatantly plagiarized.

Tory, you're taking
your cue from a man

who plays choo-choo
for a living.

It'd be a big mistake
not to sign this book.

I think your father
would agree with me.

Well, my father
gave me the reigns,

so I'll have the final decision.

I should get home to Alice.

Um, I'll call you later.

Oh, Tory, you forgot your...

- Hey, sis. It's me, yeah.
- Hi.

Do you still have
that contact for PI?

Yeah, why?

Yeah, I gotta dig up
some dirt on a manny.

Manny?

"Alice went skipping along,

unaware she had a
fairy in her pocket.

Although the little
fairy had always

been curious about
Alice's family,

she was also nervous, not
knowing what to expect.

But when they arrived at home,

the fairy realized she
had nothing to fear,

because little baby
Alice's mom was kind,

and she was smart,

even if she does eat a
giant amount of carbs."

Oh, hey.

Didn't hear you there.

I was enjoying your story.

Oh. Good.

Well, to be continued then.

Oh, hey.
Yeah, do you wanna...

- Oh, you do!
- Come here!

You wanna go see Mom, don't you?

Did you like that story?

Yeah, you did. I think you did.

Oh.

Oh.

There you go.

So, did you find the gift?

I did. It was very thoughtful.

I have to admit that I
didn't do it all on my own.

And it obviously doesn't compare
to the fancy box you got.

Oh, shoot, the necklace.

I totally forgot.

It was a necklace?

Oh, I mean, good.

I should also apologize
for interrupting.

Oh, no, not at all.

You were totally right
to tell me about Harry.

So, when do I get to hear
the rest of that story?

Tomorrow.

Same time, same place.

Great.

Looking forward to it.

Me too.

Oh, and Finn...

Maybe that's your niche.

Good night.

Good night.

Tory is gathering
all the information

Mara needs for babysitting.

Oh, well, that's good.

Our Mara won't pass
babysitting school.

Well, if you're marking,
she definitely won't.

Well, I am firm, but fair.

Oh my gosh.

She really does have a list.

How did I not know about this?

Oh, Greg almost
checks all the boxes.

Then we need to talk to her.

Well, sure, but I'm still
not on board with this.

Okay, Greg might be a fraud,
but we don't know about Finn.

And don't say it's a vibe.

It's not just a vibe, it's, oh.

Okay, I think this is
just about everything.

Great.

So, how was your birthday?

It was a big nothing.

You know, aside from the
gift that Alice gave me,

which I'm sure I have
all of you to thank for.

- You're welcome.
- Not me.

Oh, by the way, did you
ever find Finn's resume?

Yeah, he emailed it to
me after the interview. Why?

Oh, I just thought I'd
share it around the school.

Because hey, he's not gonna
be your nanny forever, right?

I mean, sure, I guess.

- Morning.
- Good morning.

Morning.

Where's Alice off to?

She's off with Nila's daughter

for babysitter
practice for the night.

Mhm, that's right.

Which means we have a day off,

because all my
meetings were canceled.

- Oh.
- Wow.

What should we do then?

I mean, I wasn't going
to assume that we...

Actually, you two should
use this time to connect,

and really get to
know one another.

You are both Alice's
biggest influencers.

- I don't have any other plans.
- Me neither.

You two have fun, and
we will see you tomorrow. Hm?

And I will look for
that doc in my inbox?

Yes, I'll get it to you.

- Great.
- Bye.

- Jo!
- What?

The list, the list.

Oh, thank you, sir.

- Thank you.
- Thank you so much.

I can't wait until
I can take Alice

to go for ice cream like this.

Oh.

What do you think her
favourite flavour's gonna be?

Chocolate.

Just like her mother,
and my mother.

Mm.

How old were you when
your mother passed again?

I was eight.

Wow.

That...

That must have been awful.

It was.

For me, and my dad.

Of course, he dealt with it by

throwing himself
into the business.

And where did that leave you?

At Linton's, of course.

Where else would I be if I
wanted to get his attention?

Well, you got
mine, for the record.

Everything all right?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

All good.

Is everything okay?

You've been sort of
quiet since the park.

Actually, Tory,
I think I should...

There she is.

Greg!

I'm sorry, did we have plans?

Yes.

Yes, I proposed a redo,
remember?

Right! Of course.

You know, I think I'm
gonna go wash my hands.

Ice cream.

So, I see the nanny,
but I don't see Alice.

Oh, she's with
Nila for the night.

So, we took a break.

Oh. Well, seeing as Alice isn't
here, should we go out?

I'm actually pretty tired.

Do you mind if we just stay in?

Oh, yeah, of course.

Absolutely. After you.

Right.

You know, I'm surprised.

Your nanny hasn't
outfitted this place

with baby bumpers and
gates on all the stairs.

Oh, I was told
we won't need those

till Alice starts walking.

Oh.

Before I forget.

Of course.

You know, Greg, I worry
this might be too much.

Not at all!

I'm just gonna go
put it somewhere safe.

Well, if it isn't
Mr. Choo Choo.

You know what, Greg?

I'm curious.

Why are you always
coming down on me?

Well, I'm just
looking out for Tory.

I want what's best
for her and Alice.

Everything okay?

Everything's great.

Come on.

Thank you, for a lovely evening.

The pleasure's always mine.

Good night.

Good night.

Did Mara pass her
babysitter's test?

She never texted me back.

With flying colours.

Unlike most men you've dated.

Um...

Actually, Jo and
I found your list.

Well, hey.

Not all of us wanna
rely on a vibe.

I guess I just wanna understand

how you came up with it.

This idea of a man
you're looking for,

because you've never
talked about it.

Because I knew
what you would think.

That it's not
"organic" or whatever.

Fine.

I mean, I wouldn't have
a problem with the list

if it just had one more box.

The box that checked
off being in love.

Nila...

Look, Greg is the
right choice, okay?

He's a force, just like my dad.

Is that what this is about?

Because the list does
sound a lot like your dad.

Just do me one favour.

Listen to your heart, please.

Hey there, Mama Bear.

How was work?

Long.

Is Alice asleep?

Yeah. But don't worry, I told
her her mama loved her.

Thank you.

Hey, do you have
a second to chat?

Can it wait?

I really have to turn in.

My dad's flying in tomorrow.

Actually, would you mind
bringing Alice into the office?

My dad wants to see her.

Yeah. Yeah, I can do that.

I'll put her in her finest.

Thank you, Finn.

I really do appreciate
everything you do for us.

Good night.

Good night.

Dad.

There's the boss!

And my sweet little
granddaughter.

Aw.

Dad, this is
Finn, Alice's nanny.

Top of the morning to you.

Hello, sir.

Well, is it me, or is
she growing up too quick?

Huh? I'd say that
cheeky panda's

getting bigger by the minute.

Gregory.
Jolly good to see you.

And you.

And the rest of the
family, of course.

Well, seeing we're all
here, what do you say?

Shall we get down to business?

Tell me, what's up
with this kid's author.

Well, he'd signed with us,

but it appears his story
might have been plagiarized.

Yeah, from some
50-year-old Norwegian tale,

so, I'm sure you won't
see it as a problem.

If I may, sir.

I think that Tory's right.

I mean, if I can remember
reading that fable.

It's not a tale.

Then I think someone
else could too.

He's got a point.

You.

I know you.

You dropped off a
manuscript, weeks ago.

No, you must've been mistaken.

No, it's right here.

What is he talking about?

Nothing. He's confused.

I knew that there was
something up with you.

Still think we
should listen to him?

Is that true?

Tory, I don't...

You need to leave.

Um...

- I'll take this.
- Thank you. Can you...

Okay. There we go.

Um...

What was that all about?

Just an oversight, on my part.

Definitely not the
attention I was looking for

during your visit.

Look, Tory.

I understand that I
haven't been as present

as I should've been. But I

have taken notice, and
you've got great instincts.

You're a good mother,
and a great publisher.

Because you're right.

We shouldn't sign
that kid's author.

Don't doubt yourself, Tory,

because you are every bit
your mother's daughter.

And my little girl.

So, I'm sure you'll also
sort out whatever that was.

Hm?

Thanks, Dad.

Anytime.

Hey sis, it's me.

- Yeah?
- Listen.

Get that flat of mine sold,

'cause I'm not far off
making it official.

- You are?
- Yeah, of course.

I always close the deal,

and once I've closed
on Tory Linton,

we'll be the power couple
of the publishing world.

- No, we won't.
- Ah, Tory!

Just the boss I wanted to see.

Don't bother, Greg. You just mad

e it easier for
what I'm about to tell you.

Which is, we will not
be this power couple.

So I suggest the next call you
make is to your travel agent

about a flight back to London.

You're making a mistake, Tory.

Even your father wants this.

Us.

Why do you think
he brought me here?

Because we're both closers.

He even treats me like a son.

Well, you're not his son.

But I am his daughter,
so, goodbye, Greg.

Oh, and one last thing...

Those scones?

Awful. So dry.

Thanks for looking
after Alice today.

We're happy to.

And I've organized a
shift for each of us.

Hey, are you okay?

Yeah, I'm fine.

I just feel a bit foolish.

And my list turned out to be
an inaccurate waste of time.

What made you make the
list in the first place?

Was it a string of bad
boyfriends or something?

You guys are gonna
think it's ridiculous.

I mean, I'm supposed to be
this strong, successful woman,

but I did it because I
was looking for my dad.

Someone to fill the
void after my mom died,

and he checked out.

But no matter how many boxes,
no one was ever good enough.

I'm so sorry, Tor.

Yeah, I can't imagine
losing your mom,

and not having
your father around.

Definitely wasn't easy.

He might've missed
a birthday or two.

He had his own
heartache to go through,

and he did the best he could.

No one's perfect.

But I do have a dad,

and now I'm just gonna
focus on what I want.

And what is that?

I don't know.

Well, that's okay.

I don't really know either.

Wait, really?

Your teacher isn't the one?

I don't know, maybe.

He does play a mean trivia game.

No, wait.

Do you know what
is amazing though?

That we all know,
without a doubt,

that you are a strong
and successful woman.

And a darn sexy one too.

You are the full
package, Tory Linton.

Who does have great instincts.
Because no matter what,

you did choose the
right nanny for Alice.

Yeah.

Yes, I did.

Except he's...

I'll be right back.

Well, connection or not,

I guess we'll never
get those two together.

Except...

Even I can admit, based
on the face we just saw,

Finn is the man Tory wants.

So what do you say, ladies?

Time to make this
darn club work?

Let's make it happen.

I think this is it.

- Yeah, this is it.
- Here?

Look, if you came to gimme
crap, you don't need to.

Okay? I get it.

I should've come clean with
you from the beginning.

I'm not a nanny.

Except you are a nanny.

A very good one.

In fact, you should
put it on your resume.

Are you being serious?

Very.

And Tory needs you.

Look, I appreciate this,

but my intentions
from the beginning

were to further
my career and not...

What?

Feel something?

I doubt that Tory's gonna
give me another chance,

but I was actually just on
my way to the post office

to send this to her.

Can you make sure she gets this?

Of course.

It may have your answer.

"Once upon a time,
there was a bear

who lived by herself
on the side of a mountain.

The bear ruled that mountain

with her strength and her grace.

And she was admired by all.

But still, she was lonely.

Until one day, she
found a little bear

whose own mother had been lost.

She took that bear inn
and named her Alice.

Mama Bear's heart filled
with a ferocious love,

and she did everything she
could to protect Alice.

But Alice was curious,

and wandered to the
edge of the mountain.

Just as Alice was about to fall,

a goat trying to
climb up caught her.

The Mama Bear was so grateful,

she gave the goat shelter.

The goat never intended to stay,

but soon found that making it
to the top of the mountain

wasn't as important
as the time spent

with Alice and Mama Bear.

Because the love
he felt for them

was nothing he'd
felt before."

Are you writing the sequel?

You read it.

I did.

And I definitely
heard your voice.

Yeah.

Well...

They say, "Write what you know."

Look, Tory.

I know I came into your life
with certain intentions,

and I'm sorry that I
wasn't honest with you

from the beginning,
but I don't regret it.

How could I regret
meeting the two of you?

It's the best thing that's
ever happened to me.

The only thing I would regret

is if I let this be the
ending of our story.

I don't want this
to be the ending.

I want it to be the beginning.

I want that too.

So bad.

Hey.

Come here.

What are you doing? Huh?

Oh, yeah.

Who's that?

It's so good to see you again.

- I know.
- Wait, where are you going?

"The goat stayed, and
together they made a family,

and lived happily
ever after."
