- We're in the weeds, everyone.

Let's go.

This needs a little bit
of balance for color.

I just need you to
place that gently, Jean.

Get those prawns off of the fire.

They're very, very sensitive.

Okay, this is good to go.

Mm, it needs a little bit of lemon juice

to cut the richness.

- You know, chef, we got this.

If you want to take a night off.

- Well, maybe you should
take a night off, Dougie,

for being so awesome.

(uptempo instrumental music)

(bell ringing)

(soft guitar music)
(heels clacking)

- Hello.

(soft guitar music)

- Is this the chef's special again?

What's going on here?

- Don't tell me.

(sighs) Okay, I'm just gonna talk to her.

Ava.

- Hi, Lisa.

- We should talk.

- Just as soon as I get these plates out.

- I think your sous can do that.

- Oh, it's just so much
better with a personal touch.

- Okay, this isn't working.

- What?

- Well, for how many weeks has
that been your chef special?

- A few.

Well, a lot.

But it's because it's so--
- So special?

- Yeah.
- Yeah, I get it.

And it's delicious.
- Thank you.

- But, well, it's just that
you used to be so creative,

so innovative, but the last
few months have been, well.

Meh.

- Meh?

- Well, I think you need
to feel more re-inspired.

Like when was the last time you actually

left this restaurant or
went out with friends?

I mean, do you have friends?

- I bust my butt here for you.

Isn't that what you wanted?

- No, I've got minions
to bust their butts.

I want you for your magic,
your inspiration and your fire.

- All I do is cook.

I live and I breathe cooking.

- Yeah, but do you actually like it?

Look, Ava, you're burnt out.

You need a break.

You need to go find
yourself, go to France.

- France?

Ha-ha, that's so cliche!

- Well, then go somewhere, anywhere,

that will remind you of why you cook.

- Am I being fired?

- No, but I want my brilliant chef back.

The one who actually likes to cook.

(heels clacking)

(playful music)

(footsteps thudding)

- Something's happening.

Someone's coming.

- Well, if she's leaving,
good riddance to her.

(crickets chirping)

- I have friends.

I do friend things with friends.

(genial music)

(finger tapping)

(phone ringing)

(Ava sighs)

Hi Dad, it's Ava.

Your daughter.

Donny.

- Gear...

Oh.

Your dad, Donny.

- Yeah, that's the one.

(loud banging)

Dad?

(Donny groans)

Dad, are you okay?

- She backfired.
- That's great!

(Donny laughs)

You think we're gonna be
able to get her to drive?

- I didn't think we ever would
because of that gas tank,

but then I thought,
give it a crank and bam!

Oh, she wants to go, I can tell.

- Dad, are you hurt?

- I'm gonna move her home, get
her ready for the car show.

- Dad.

Hi!

- Ava, your name is Ava.

That is so great.

I love the name Ava.

- No, I think I'll just take a cab.

- No cabs out here.
- I just took one.

- Oh, that was just Mr. Walker.

He likes to hang around the
airport and pick up strangers.

- That seems unsafe.

- You still can't drive.

- I can drive, Dad.

I just am traumatized
from our driving lessons.

- Well, I can't leave for a few hours.

- Maybe I could give you a ride home.

- I think I'm gonna walk.

You are a chef genius

(door banging)

Hi, Dad.

- Hello.

(footsteps thudding)

- I made us dinner.

(Donny grunts)

(lips blowing)

It's spaghetti.

- Where's the rest of it?

- It's deconstructed spaghetti, Dad.

Like at our restaurant.

- You got fired.

- No, I didn't get fired.

We decided that I needed a break.

Kind of like a sabbatical.

- Paid or unpaid?

- Unpaid.

- I'll just have toast, thanks.

- (sighs) Dad, you can't
just live off toast.

- Made it through this decade okay.

(announcer chattering on television)

(Ava sighs)

(announcer chattering on television)

Ah, come on!

My mother could have got that.

(door bangs)

(somber music)
(birds chirping)

(Ava clears throat)

- Hi Lisa, it's Ava.

I'm just calling to check in.

I actually came back to my
hometown, which was a great idea.

I am feeling super duper
inspired, but you know,

I actually feel like it's
time to come back, so.

Hello, is this recording?

(groans) No bars?

Aw, come on!

(upbeat music)
(heels clacking)

- Ava?

- Bill?

The man, the myth, the legend.

Hi!

- Oh my God, what the
heck are you doing here?

- I'm just checking in on my dad, finally.

I don't know if you know this,

but he is getting like super old.

- Yeah, please, don't remind me.

Wow, he must have really missed you.

- Yeah. (chuckles)

Anyway, how are you?

How are things at the dealership?

- Oh, you know, selling cars, moving cars.

Same old, same old.

- That is the shortest answer I have

ever heard you give about anything.

- Well, Julia likes to remind me

that car talk can be pretty boring.

- Julia?

- Yeah, Julia, my girlfriend
of the last two years.

- What?

Wow, girlfriend, huh.

Hermit no more.

- I gotta tell ya, being a
bachelor's kind of overrated.

You know, no one to cook with.

Why don't you come for dinner tonight?

That way you could meet Julia.

- You know, I should probably
cook for my dad tonight.

I have no idea what he has been

eating for the past 10 years.

Well, speaking of Dad, I
should probably get him this.

He's grumpy.

It was good to see you.
- It's great seeing you.

(car engine revving)

- You know what, I would
love to come for dinner.

- That's fantastic.

Hey, why don't you come a little early?

You can do all the cooking.

- Oh, ha-ha-ha, that's hilarious.

So funny.

(Zion groans)

- [Zion] Ow!

Oh.

Whoo. (groans)

- Are you okay?

- Hi.

Hi. (clears throat)

- Hi.

You good?

- You a coffee drinker?

- Sure.

- Cool.

I'm a big coffee drinker myself, you know.

I like all the roasts.

Light roast, dark roast,
even darker roast.

- Whoa, a lot of roasts.

- Would you wanna maybe
get a cup sometime?

- No.

Is my dad in the front?

- Yeah.

- [Ava] Have a good day.

(announcer chattering)
(heels clacking)

Hey, Dad.

(crowd cheering on radio)

Wow, what a shot!

- Nice try.

- I just ran into Bill.

- Bill?

- Your neighbor of 30 years.

He invited me to dinner.

- Yeah, well, that didn't take long.

- What is that supposed to mean?

- Tell him I'm not paying for that break

in the east side fence.

I know it's one of his guys who tried

to go through with that long trek.

- Dad, I think you're the only person

in this town who doesn't like Bill.

- (sighs) What kind of man gets
another man to mow his lawn?

- That's why you hate him?

- I don't hate him.

Just don't want to pay for
something that I didn't damage.

- Okay, well, I will let him know.

- Thank you.

- Do you need a ride somewhere?

- You're on the clock, Zion!

(crowd cheering on radio)

(upbeat rock music)

(truck engine humming)

(tires screeching)
(Ava screaming)

- Ava?

Ava!
- Logan?

- Did I hit you, are you okay?

- No, I'm fine, I'm fine.

I am not hit, I am un-hit.

- What are you doing here?

- Your dad invited me for dinner, so.

It's the shortcut, right?

- Maybe, I guess.

I mean, what are you doing here in town?

- [Ava] Oh, I'm visiting my dad.

- Oh.

Welcome back.

- What are you doing here?

- Living.

I live here.

- [Ava] Of course, right, sorry.

- Look, I'm also going
to my dad's for dinner.

Give you a lift the rest
of the way if you want.

- No, I'm fine.

Yeah, it's just like right
there, so I'll see you in there.

- Awesome.
- Okay.

(both chuckling)

(truck door creaking)

(truck door slamming)

(truck engine humming)
(birds chirping)

- We're almost there anyway.

- Wanna just go around?

- Yeah, see, I can't go
around you if you're gonna...

It's fine.

- I'll just meet you down there, yeah.

(truck engine humming)
(bright music)

- Surprise, look who it is, it's Ava!

- Yeah, I know, we pretty
much ran into each other.

Dad, you didn't tell me she was coming.

Oh, I wanted to keep it a surprise.

You know, the three amigos reunited?

Come on, Julia's in the kitchen.

- Whew.

(both laughing)

You remember this kitchen?
- Yes.

- Oh, hi.

I'm Julia, it's so nice
to finally meet you, Ava.

- You too, I'm so happy
that Bill isn't out here

wasting away all alone.

- Hey, what about me?

- Don't tell me you still live at home.

- No, but I'm here often enough.

I mean, the food's terrific.

- You know, it's because
of me Ava's a chef.

- Of course you're taking the credit.

- No, it's actually kind of true.

My mom died when I was younger,

and I used to come here in the
afternoon to cook with Bill.

I guess as a distraction.

- Okay people, dinner's
not gonna cook itself.

- Okay, what are we making chef?

- Well, I'm working on this new sauce

that I'm really excited about.

Check this out.

So while I finish this up,
why don't you julienne the

bell pepper and then shift it
on the kettle for my caesar.

- Got it.

- And I'm gonna let these
pros work their magic.

- Okay.

Is there anything I can help with?

- Oh, you cook now?

- You know what they say.

Way to the heart is through the stomach.

- (laughs) Unfortunately for Logan,

the stomach never forwarded
the messages to his heart.

- Ooh.
- That's my Dad.

- All right.

- All right, you ready chef?
- Yes.

(hand slapping)

(playful bantering)

- [Together] Chop, chop!

- (laughs) Just like old times, huh?

So what did you think of the sauce?

- It was incredible.

- No, no, no, no, I want your
honest professional opinion.

- Okay.

I don't have anything.

The leeks, the sauce, it was amazing.

- Okay.

- Those are from my market actually.

- Your market?
- Yeah.

- That's right, your formerly
vegetable-phobic friend

now owns the local farmer's market.

- What?
- It's really cute, Ava.

You should check it out
sometime, people love it.

- It's been great for the
farmers, great for the foragers.

I mean, really, it's been a win-win

for the entire community, right?

- Really?
- Yeah.

- Okay, should I be offended by your level

of surprise right now?

- No, no, you just, you
were always the car guy

at my dad's shop.

- Yeah, well, maybe we
were switched at birth.

- (chuckles) Maybe.

So how does that happen?

How does one create a farmer's market?

- Several years ago, I got into foraging.

You know, it was a hobby, and
I was immediately shocked by,

you know, just how out of the
way so many people will go

to source the exact same wild ingredients

that we have right here.

You know, we used to walk past this stuff

every single day when we were kids.

One thing led to another,

I guess I got a little
passionate, and here we are.

I am the market guy.

(group laughing)

- You should take some
back to the restaurant

and show them what Prince
George has to offer.

- That's a great idea, sweets.

- Oh, you know what?

My restaurant actually gets
it from bigger suppliers.

You know, we need consistency,

and we can't depend on seasonal
or what the bears don't eat.

(group laughing)

Also, it would curb our chef's creativity.

- Or it could expand the chef's creativity

because one would have to think
outside of the box, right?

- You know what, I'm gonna
get another bottle of wine.

I'll be right back.

- And I better help him choose it.

(somber guitar music)

(playful music)

- Oh man, imagine what my dad would say

if he saw your dad's fire pit.

- (chuckles) You know, he
could have joined us tonight.

- No, I don't think so.

- Why not?

You know, I run a classic car show

to raise funds for local farmers.

Donny's gonna have his
Cadillac in it this year.

- Oh man, that car is the bane--

- [Together] Of my existence!

- I know.

- Maybe you could cook something
for the fundraiser, Ava.

It'd be a great draw.

- Hey, you should.

He's right.

Could introduce you to
some of the local growers,

and you could do a wonderful cooking demo

with some of their stuff.

- I don't know how long
I'm gonna be here for.

I think I have to get back to the city.

- They must be missing
you at the restaurant.

And how'd you manage to get the time off?

- Well, I told them that I had to try

somebody's amazing new sauce.

- Oh, please don't pump
his tires up anymore.

- Sure.

Thank you so much for having me.

- Oh, well don't be a
stranger while you're here.

And you know, you're
welcome to use the kitchen

anytime you want.

Logan, why don't you walk her home?

It's getting kind of dark.

- Sure, could use a walk after that meal.

- I knew I put too much
butter in that sauce.

- Okay, shall we?

- Bye!
- Thanks again.

(soft guitar music)

- I forgot how light it
stays out here at night.

- Yeah.

What type of restaurant are you at now?

I mean, I used to read
all the reviews on you,

but I guess I lost track
over time, you know?

- Oh, that's sweet.

I would say it is Canadiana.

- Okay.

- Upscale, experimental,
at least up until recently.

- Well, if it's any of my
business, what happened recently?

- To be honest, my boss
sent me here to find myself.

(Logan chuckles)

- [Logan] Can a boss do that?

- She hired me after I won this big award.

- Best Chef on the West Coast, right?

- That's the one.

- A big deal, Ava, congratulations.

- Yeah, I worked really
hard for that award.

And literally spent a decade
of my life focused on that.

I guess my boss thinks
that it's made me boring.

- Yikes.

- Yeah.

(somber piano music)

- So how does one, you know,
go about finding themselves?

- I don't know.

When I was at your dad's, I felt like

how I used to feel when I started cooking.

So I guess that's a start.

Did you wanna say hi to my dad?

- Sure.

- (chuckles) I think my dad
will be really happy to see you.

Dad?

- Donny!

- Dad!
(Donny groans)

Whoa.
- Ah!

- What are you doing?

Are you okay?
- I'm fine.

No, I'm fine, just leave me.

- What happened?

- It's nothing, Ava.

Just my back went out again.

- Again?

This happens often?

What were you gonna do, sleep out here?

- Wouldn't be the first time.

- Are you kidding me?

- Come on, let's get you up.

- Okay.

- One.

(Donny grunting)

(hand patting)

So I see you brought the Caddy back.

Getting serious about that car show?

(Donny grunts)

- Dad, why don't I help you inside?

- I'm just gonna finish up out here.

- Well, just scream if you need help.

- Always do.

(gentle piano music)

(door creaking)

- I am genuinely worried about him.

I can't believe it took me
this long to check in on him.

- Why did it?

You know, if you don't mind me asking.

- I don't know, I was busy.

You know how it is.

And I wanted to forget about stuff here.

- He's okay, Ava.

I mean, my dad and I know he is out here.

If anything were to happen, we'd be over--

- Well, you would find
him two months later

when you were coming to
check the property line.

I just wish that he
would move into the city.

- Talking about the same Donny?

- I know, I know, it's delusional.

Anyways, thank you so
much for walking me home.

It was like the good old days.

- I never walked you home.

(Ava laughs)

You ran.
- I ran.

Yes, because I was afraid
of the forest monsters.

Totally forgot.

I have forgotten a lot of things.

(gentle music)

Goodnight, Logan!

Be careful, the forest monsters.

(crickets chirping)
(gentle music)

(sighs) Hi Lisa, it's Ava.

I am definitely finding myself here,

and I'm totally ready to
come home, like I said,

but I think I need a little
bit more time to get inspired.

So I'll call you back in a couple days.

(loud banging)

- [Donny] It's all right.

I'm fine.

(soft guitar music)

(birds chirping)

(car whooshing)

(birds chirping)

- [Bill] So son, tell me again,

why are you delivering Donny's mail?

- I already told you, Dad.

I saw it come in at the loading docks,

so I thought I'd save him a trip.

- All right, ah, gotcha.

- Look, I don't know why you're here.

You know that Donny's not exactly

gonna be happy to see you.

- No, that might be
the case, but you know,

Ava's being back's reminded me.

I used to like the old grouch.

(truck door creaking)

(truck door banging)

I got this.

Let me take the part to Donny,

and why don't you go say hi to Ava.

(carriage door creaking)

- It's your funeral, man.

(footsteps thudding)

(knuckles rapping)

- Wow, twice in one decade.

It's gotta be a record.

- You finding yourself?

- Myself does not wanna be
found today, unfortunately.

So I am just making my dad some lunch.

What's up?

- I just brought a part from town

that your dad ordered for the Cadillac.

- Oh, nice, his second favorite child.

- Yeah, well maybe if somebody

wasn't such a difficult sibling.

- So I was thinking I'm going to be

in town a little longer than I expected.

- Oh.

- Yeah, so I thought I
could do that cooking demo

for your car show if you still wanted me.

- Yes!

Yes, I still want you.

- Hey.
- I, you know what I mean?

- Yeah, okay.

Great, well, I wanted to do
something crazy with squid.

- There's not a lot of squid
in this landlocked town.

- Yeah, I can get it from the city.

I have an amazing distributor there.

(sighs) Which kind of defeats the purpose

because it is for a farmer's market, mm.

- Yeah.

- I'm just looking for some
inspiration for my restaurant.

- Why don't I introduce you to somebody

who fishes local salmon?

I mean, I'm sure you could do something

really amazing with that.

- Yeah, sounds fishy.

- [Logan] Wow, you've
really rehearsed that.

- I have.

So where's this part?

- My dad decided to take it upon himself

to take it into the workshop for your dad.

- [Ava] Oh, brave Bill.

- That's pretty much what I said.

- The hole in the east side
fence is your expense, Bill.

I'm not paying a dime of it.

- I've forgotten all about that.

No, Logan sent this.

Thought you might appreciate

saving a drive into town to pick it up.

- I can drive just fine.

- Donny, I know that,
that's not the point.

Logan thought that, you know,
since he kind of put the gas

on you to get the car ready
for the show, that you might.

- She's basically good to go.

- Really?

Wow, that's great news.

You know, Logan thinks it's
gonna be the star of the parade.

It's quite a classic.

- Don't.

Touch it.

- Sorry, Donny, sorry.

Sorry.

(Donny sighs)

Sure must be nice having Ava
back after all this time, huh?

You know, she's looking more

and more like Nancy every day now.

- You gonna make a habit of trespassing

on my property, Bill?

- Of course not, Donny.

Of course not.

(birds chirping)

- Dad, lunch is ready!

(door banging)

(gentle piano music)

(door banging)

(footsteps thudding)

- Where are the lids?

- These are Danish open-faced sandwiches,

and they don't have lids,

so that you can see all
of the beautiful toppings.

- Hm.

- Would you just humor me, Dad?

I'm trying to get inspired.

This one is pickled herring,
it's so popular in Denmark.

- Maybe it should have stayed in Denmark.

- So Logan asked me to do
a cooking demonstration

at the car show.

- Too bad you won't be here.

- Well, I was thinking about
staying for a little longer.

You know, maximize my trip.

Anyway, I have to go to
the big grocery store

outside of town to grab some ingredients.

And I thought maybe you could join me.

- Gotta work on the Caddy.

- Of course, you do.

Well, maybe you could take a break.

We can get a coffee, look at housing.

- Housing, you moving?

- Honestly, Dad, I'm
getting really worried

about you being out here alone.

I thought that we could
look at a townhouse,

you know, closer to civilization.

- Absolutely not.

- Will you just think about it?

- No!
- Well, I have to take a car.

So if you have an opinion on which one,

you should let me know!

(keys smacking)
(door sliding)

(keys jangling)

Well, I think that it's inspired.

(car engine humming)

I can totally do this, it's
just like riding a bike.

If the bike was enormous and
could kill somebody, okay.

(plastic bag rustling)

What is that?

Get out of the way!

Get out of the way, bag!

Ah!

(quirky music)

(car door bangs)

- Ah, damsel in distress.

- I'm fine.

- I'll be right down, okay?

- Okay.

Oh, so embarrassing.

I hate driving.

I would fly to the
grocery store if I could.

- Grocery store?

Which grocery store would this be exactly?

- The big box one just outside of town.

- Ava, please, you're killing me.

Do not shop at that place, okay?

It's bad for your soul.

- I sold my soul long ago for
a wheel of Parmesan cheese.

- Well, I would love to drive
you to get the ingredients.

But I'm not taking you
to that abomination.

Seriously, we have all
kinds of locally-sourced,

wonderful stuff right here in town.

- I don't know, nature boy.

- Do you have much of a choice?

I think your car's in a ditch.

It's just a quick stop.

- Fine.

- [Logan] Fine.

- I don't know if you're gonna
have what I'm looking for.

- See, that's the thing.

I do know that we're gonna
have what you're looking for.

(truck whooshing)

(upbeat music)

- [Ava] Yeah, let's do it.

(truck doors banging)

- Wait, wait, wait, wait,
wait, cover your eyes.

- Oh, okay.
- Cover your eyes.

- What are we doing?
- Right this way, you'll see.

- Okay.

- Few more paces, ground is nice and flat.

You're okay.
(Ava chuckles)

Ready?
- Yes.

- Open your eyes.

What do you think?

- Is this real?
- As real as it gets.

- It feels like we just
stepped onto the set

of Little House on the Prairie.

- Right, I mean, it started
off pretty makeshift,

but all of these amazing
people all pitched in

to make it the magical
place that it is now.

- (gasps) Look how cute!

Hi!

Aw.

- Thanks, guys.

- Wow, look at all the flowers.

- [Logan] Yep.

(horse snorting)

- Aw.

(playful music)

- Hey, boss.
- Hey, Betty.

- Hey, how you doing?
- How are ya?

- Good, good, how are you?

- Good.

Ava, Betty.
- Hi, so nice to meet you.

- Nice to meet you too.

- She's our site operations manager.

- So is it Betty or Betsy?

- Oh, Betty and Betsy.

She'd come say hi, but
Mercury's in retrograde,

so she's a little.

- I get it.
- Yeah, right.

- Ava's a top chef in the city.

- Oh, okay.

- And she's here to find herself...

Some ingredients with which to
create her next masterpiece.

Got anything in mind?

- You know what, actually, I think I got

some pretty good ideas.

Do you wanna follow me?
- Yeah.

- All right, come on over this way.

- Believe it or not, I've
tried honey before, Logan.

- Maybe, but not like this.

- Hey, gang.

Hey, what can I do for you?

- Ava, this is Sandy.

He runs Four-leaf Clover Apiaries.

They're local beekeepers.

- Ah, thank you for your service.

- Sorry?

- Because the bees are dying.

I mean, obviously not
your bees, but the bees.

(group laughing)

- Yeah, well, we do have some honeycomb

and some unpasteurized honey,
and some creamed honey,

as well as some bee
pollen and some beeswax.

Now there's nothing quite
like a little bee pollen

sprinkled on top of a salad.

Come, try this.

- Huh, this is honey?
- Mm-hmm.

- It's actually what the
bees leave on the flower.

It's a mixture of nectar,
pollen and bee saliva.

- Huh.

Okay.

Mm.

It's sweet, but it's not cloying.

It's really lovely.

Want some?
- Yes, please.

- Okay, one sec.

- Hmm.

- Mm, every time.

- I'm pretty sure that my mom told me

not to eat dandelion seeds.

- (chuckles) Wait till you try this.

All right, couple of leaves.

Now, try it.

Go on, get your fingers in there.

- Okay.

Mm.

That's actually really good.

It reminds me of...

- [Together] Childhood.

- Yeah.

Oof, I'm about to get schooled, aren't I?

- Oh yeah.

- Thank you.

I have tried imported gelato,

that fancy vegan charcoal
stuff from Yaletown,

but this strawberry, special.

- (chuckles) I'm glad.

Does that mean you're
starting to find yourself?

- Oh, you love that phrase, don't you?

- I do.

- Honestly, it is amazing here,

but I have access to the
most amazing ingredients

in the world back at my restaurant,

and even that isn't enough to inspire me.

- Well, then maybe the
problem's the restaurant.

- [Ava] It's top 10 in the country.

- Yeah, and the pressure for cooking

for some of the judgiest
eaters in the country

is maybe what's making
you play it so safe.

- I don't know, I guess.

I don't know what to do.

'Cause every restaurant I wanna
work at will be like that.

- Well, you know, you could always

start your own restaurant.

I'm serious, Ava.

If anybody can do, it it's you,

and you could do it right here.

- Yeah, I would be hard
pressed to find a critic

who would come all the
way out here to review.

- Is cooking for critics really

what you love about cooking?

- Anyway, changing the subject.

- Okay.
- What is the deal with Betty?

- Sorry?

- I mean, what is the deal?

She's totally your type.

She's gorgeous, outdoorsy, farm girl.

- What makes you think for one second

that you know about my type?

- Okay, so what's the deal with you?

Are you dating anyone?

I'm sure there are so many girls here

who are happy that
someone cute never left.

- I didn't never leave.

I left a few years after you did.

- You did?
- Yeah.

- Hmm.

- I went to university out East,

and I got my masters in
environmental studies.

I didn't just sit around
after you, what...

- I'm sorry, I didn't know.

- That's fine, I...

- So how does one get to
environmental studies from car guy?

- You and I grew up in these woods,

and we always dreamt
of living off the grid.

It's not that big of a stretch.

- So the forest dragged you back?

- No, nothing dragged me back.

You might have wanted to
leave the second you could,

whatever, that's fine, but
there are a lot of us here who

are here by choice and because we love it.

- I know, I didn't mean anything.

- I got some work to do, okay.

I'll meet you at the truck in a bit.

- Oh.

Come on, nobody looks that
good on a farm. (laughs)

Hey!

(somber guitar music)

(sighs) I don't hate it here, you know.

There's so much goodness.

The people and the forest and the light.

- Yeah.

- Yeah.

I can totally see why someone
would wanna move back here.

Except the forest monsters, of course.

It's a big flaw.
- Right.

Yeah.

Wow, I think it's happened to you.

- [Ava] What?

- Oh, I don't know.

Somebody sounds like they
might be a little bit--

- [Ava] No, don't say it.

- Inspired.

It's okay, you can say it.

I won't tell anybody.

- It's stuck in my throat.

- It's easy, just like the color.

Repeat after me.

Inspired, inspired.

- Fine, just a little bit.

- So what do you think,
bee pollen on everything?

- Bee pollen on everything. (chuckles)

(bright music)

(solemn music)

(door creaking)

Oh.

- Oh, I thought you'd be at Bill's again.

- Dad, we were supposed
to have dinner tonight,

like four hours ago.

- Huh, must have got lost in the Cadillac.

Sorry about that.

- You've been working
on that thing forever.

How is there still things to do to it?

- There's mouse poop or something in this.

I should set some more traps.

- No, it's bee pollen.

- Huh?
- Nevermind.

Hey, Dad.

What was Mom's favorite food?

- I don't remember.

- Well, could you try?

Like did she crave anything
or have any specialties?

- You're the chef.

Shouldn't you remember that sort of thing?

(somber music)

(Ava sighs)

(cellphone buzzing)

- Hello?
- Ava, are you there?

- Oh hi, Lisa, yes, I've been
trying to get a hold of you.

- That's ready to go out.

Yes, sorry Ava, hi.

Well, thing is, Doug has just done some

really innovative things
with the new spring menu.

- Doug, like my sous-chef Doug?

- Yeah, he sort of blew us away.

Did the craziest thing
with Japanese squid.

Totally inspired.

- Wait, what?

- Listen, you know that I
think you're really talented,

but I just, well, I think
you forgot why you cook.

I'm sorry, it's just
where's your inspiration.

- No, I know, I agree,
that's why I came home.

And let me tell you, I am feeling renewed.

- [Lisa] So you can tell me why you cook?

- Yes, I can show you so many new recipes.

- No, I want you to tell me right now.

Why do you cook?

Where do you get your passion from?

- Watch out!
(loud crashing)

Listen, you know, Ava, I've gotta go.

It's just, I really do
hope that you find it,

whatever it is that really
lights your fire, all right?

Okay, bye-bye, take care.

- Take care?

(doors sliding)

(horse neighing)

(Ava muttering)

(upbeat music)

- Whoa, there.

- Hey, Betty.

Hi, Betsy!

- Are you training for
a sprint or something?

- No, just trying to blow off some steam.

I got fired last night.

- Oh, you didn't find yourself in time?

- I guess not.

- Well, do you wanna feed Betsy an apple?

It always makes me feel better.

- Okay.
- Sure.

Just hold your hand out nice and straight.

It kind of tickles a bit, yeah.

(both laughing)

- So you do show jumping
with Betsy, right?

- Yeah.

- Do you have to love
it or is it good enough

just to be really, really good at it?

- Well, the whole point of jumping for me

is to get as close to
happiness as I know how,

and I just wouldn't do it if it

didn't make me happy anymore.

- So how would you get your
passion back if you lost it?

- I, I guess...

I guess that I would do a lot of jumping,

but not for anybody else, not
with anybody else watching.

I would do it just to feel
what I love about it again.

- So you're saying that I should
make a whole bunch of food

for myself so I can figure
out why I love cooking again?

- Well, I don't really
know much about cooking.

I'm more of a horse
jumper myself. (laughs)

- Of course.

Well, thank you, Betty.

Thank you, Betsy!

This has been weirdly helpful.

- Well, it was nice to see you. (laughs)

- Oh, Betty?
- Yeah?

- Are you interested in Logan?

- You know, I probably would
be interested in Logan,

what with the abs and that
hair flick thing he does.

- Yeah.

- But I'm just not into guys.

Yeah.

See you later, Ava.

(footsteps thudding)

(playful music)

- Boo!
- Oh!

(Ava laughs)

- I didn't even hear you coming.

I am in the zone.

- [Ava] What zone is that?

- Oh, you know, the super
groovy mushroom foraging zone.

- You know, it's the 21st century,

and you can buy mushrooms
online now, right?

- Yeah, well, you'd be
surprised how many varieties we

have growing wild right here.

You just have to be careful
with what you pick, you know?

- Hmm.

Ooh, what are those ones?

- Which?

- These.

- Oh, Ava?

Don't move, okay.
- Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow!

- Yeah, yeah, I think you might have.

- Oh, no.

- Yeah.
- Oh, ow, ow, ow.

- Hold still.

- I think that I stepped in something.

Ow, it's really, really stingy!

What do I do, what do I do, what do I do?

- I got you, okay?

It will be over in a moment.
- Ouch, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow.

- Okay.

- Ow!
- One second.

- What?

Are you picking flowers?

(footsteps thudding)

- Something like that.

- What are you doing? (groans)

Oh wow, that is the best
feeling in the world.

- A little better, right?
- Mm-hmm.

- Jewelweed.

Rest assured, if you ever run
into stinging nettle again,

there's always a jewelweed plant nearby.

'Cause you see, the
stem contains the juice

that happens to be the natural antidote.

- Hmm.

Nature rules.

- (chuckles) Yeah, nature
does indeed totally rule.

You okay to walk?

- Yeah.
- All right.

- Oh, thanks.

Did I pick the right mushrooms?

- No, I'm afraid you
would've killed us instantly.

- Oh, well, you win some, you lose some.

Hey, what are you doing right now?

I got all this stuff at the market.

Did you wanna have a picnic?

- If you wanna ride home,
all you have to do is ask.

- Eh, simply just an added bonus.

- You think you can keep
the poisonous mushrooms

away from us?

- I make no promises.

(soft guitar music)

(Ava groans)

- Oy.

You really got it out for me, huh?

- I'm sorry.

I didn't realize our picnic
was gonna be in the canoe.

- So what do we got here,
is this all inspired?

- It is all very basic.

I had fun putting it together though.

It's all from your market.

And no, I will not
admit that you're right,

so don't hold your breath.

- I know it in my heart, so.

- Well, keep it in your heart.

Cheers!

- What are we cheersing to?

- To me getting fired.

- What?
- Yeah.

I got swindled by my sous-chef.

- Classic story.
- Mm-hmm.

- I'm sorry, Ava.

What are you gonna do now?

- I've worked so hard
my whole life for this

and now I forget why.

- You know, I think
it's nigh time that you

start your own restaurant.

- Logan, do you know how much capital it

takes to start a restaurant?

- So talk to my dad, he's
always believed in you.

He offered to pay for your schooling.

- What?

- Back when you started
talking about culinary school,

the first thing he said...

You don't know about this, do you?

- Logan, I paid for my school.

- Yeah, I just said that
he offered to pay for it,

but he asked your dad,
and your dad said no.

- What are you talking about?

- To be fair, I mean, you
spent a lot of time with my dad

after your mom passed, so
I think yours got jealous.

And when my dad offered
to fund your schooling,

it probably hurt his pride a little bit.

He just wasn't having it.

- You're lying.

- Why would I lie about that?

I'm not lying to you, Ava.

What are you doing?

(water splashing)

Ava, you're just taking us in circles.

- Why didn't you say anything to me?

I thought you were my friend.

- How could I, you're the
one who just up and left.

Talk about being friends.

Friends don't just abandon each other.

- What was I supposed to do?

My mom was gone, my dad
was completely checked out.

I was all alone, I had no safety net.

- How could you say that?

You had us, we were the three amigos.

We had so many great adventures planned.

- That's not real life, Logan.

- Yeah, well, it was to me.

Can you please stop doing this?

(Ava grunts)

Ava, I am sure your dad had his reasons.

- [Ava] So you're on his side?

- I'm not picking sides.

I just think this is getting blown

out of proportion really fast.

(oar banging)
(water splashing)

- Logan, I...

Just take me home!

I can't!

(Ava groans)

- All right, let's see now.

- I want to go home.

(water splashing)

(tires rumbling)

- Ava.

(truck door slams)
Ava!

(gentle guitar music)

- Dad.

- Hey.
- Is it true?

You hate Bill because he did
you the horrible disservice

of offering to pay for my school?

How could you?

You knew how much I wanted
to get out of this town.

You knew how this place made it impossible

to get over mom dying.

How could you know all of
that and still turn him down?

(whimpers) I had to work three jobs.

I had to go into debt.

I had no life, I had no friends!

How could you know all of that
and not let go of your ego

long enough to give me just
one, one break in this life!

And I know I spent a lot of time with Bill

and maybe that was hard for you,

but did it ever occur to you
that I had to go somewhere?

You completely shut yourself off to me

when I needed you the most.

And I know that you
didn't deserve the hand

that you were dealt,
Dad, but neither did I.

You'll be happy to know that
I'm going back to the city.

So you can be alone with your stupid car.

(heels clacking)

(Donny sighs)

(somber piano music)

I would like to inquire

about the chef's position in Vancouver.

(computer key clicking)

(somber piano music)

(owl hooting)

(loud banging)

Dad?

Are you okay?

(Donny groans)
What happened?

- It's that stupid car, like you said.

I am done with it.

- Well, you could have killed yourself.

Well, let me help you up.

(Donny groans)

- Think I did something to my leg.

- Okay, I will call
for help just, oh, Dad.

(dial tone droning)

(phone ringing)

Hey Bill--
- No, not him!

- Grow up, Dad.

(head thuds)
- Oh.

(truck engine humming)

- In here!

- Ava!

- Thank you so much for coming.

I think he needs to go to the hospital.

- I'm fine.

- [Bill] Like hell you
are, come on, come on.

- Come on, Dad.
- Let's get you up.

- Okay, be careful, be careful, his leg.

- Can you stand?
- Yeah.

- Logan's got your other side.

Can you hop?

- Like the Easter bunny, Bill?

- Yeah, exactly.
- Ow.

(people chattering)

- Be careful.

- [Donny] I can do it.

- A few more hops.

- A lot more hops.

- Okay.

- All right, Donny, you're
gonna have to put your seat back

so you can keep your legs straight.

- Not an idiot, Bill, ow!

You know, Donny, this
would be a lot easier

if you'd stop fighting with me.

- Logan, can I just ride in the back?

- [Logan] It's okay.

- Put your seatbelt on there, Donny.

(truck engine revving)

- [Donny] Reverse is the one labeled R.

(truck engine humming)

(fire crackling)

- Okay, I'll call back in a bit.

Thanks, Bill.

Well, the good news is is
he didn't break anything,

but they think that he tore a ligament.

So they're gonna do an x-ray.

Saint Bill is gonna
drive him back tomorrow.

I yelled at him this afternoon.

I told him I hated the car.

So he blew it up to prove a point to me.

- Ava, about earlier today.

- Oh Logan, it's fine, really.

- Thank you, but it isn't.

I know that things weren't
even close to easy for you

after your mom passed.

You know, here, and I do
not take that lightly.

But you were my best friend, you know,

and you just disappeared.

(somber piano music)

- I think we need wine, right? (chuckles)

I'll be right back.

(owl hooting)

(cell phone buzzing)

(somber piano music)
(fire crackling)

(door bangs)

(footsteps thudding)

(sighs) If we're gonna be reminiscing.

Logan?

(chuckles) Logan!

(fire crackling)
(owl hooting)

(somber piano music)

(birds chirping)

(cell phone ringing)
(upbeat music)

Bill?

What?

What happened?

- I wouldn't let him pay
for the hospital parking.

So he refused to get in the truck.

- Dad.

(birds chirping)

Dad, what are you doing?

Stop the car.

This fight between the
two of you has to end.

I'm serious.

Bill, out of the car!

I know that I got really
mad at you yesterday,

and we will deal with that.

But right now, the issue
is between the two of you.

Bill.

- Donny.

I'm sorry.

I should have been more
sensitive after Nancy died,

and Ava started hanging out at our place.

And the culinary school, the
truth is I just never stopped

to think that you might feel
like you were losing Ava too.

- Dad.

- I'm sorry about it, girl.

- I'm sorry too.

I don't care about the money.

Not having it made me who I am today.

And I am just like you.

I'm strong and proud and
really a little bit stubborn.

(gentle music)

- I do have one thing to say to you, Bill.

The break in the east
side fence is your repair.

(both laughing)

- All right, come on.

Let's get the truck, will ya?

- Come on, come on.

How did you make it this entire way?

- [Donny] I got it.

(wheelchair clattering)

- Dad, are you sure you don't
want us to take you home?

- Gotta keep an eye on Zion.

- Listen, I gotta go.

Lots to help Logan with
before the car show.

- About that, will you
apologize to your son for me?

I'm not gonna have the Caddy ready.

- Dad, you worked so hard on it.

- I did, and then I blew it up.

- Well, there's always next year.

- Oh, you know what, Bill?

I'm actually going to the market,

so I can tell Logan about the car.

- Sounds good.

Take care, you two.

- I happen to know there are a mountain

of groceries from the farmer's
market already at home.

- Uh huh, your point being?

- Say hi to Logan for me.

- Oh, have fun with that.

Hi, Zion!

♪ I see you with all them, looking away ♪

♪ I'll carry it farther, living today ♪

♪ I can't let the notion get in the way ♪

♪ A legend today, finding a way to take ♪

(car door bangs)

- Thanks, Mr. Walker.
- You're welcome.

- Logan!

So my dad is doing better
and I am basically a magician

because I have made my dad
and your dad finally make up.

So feel free to applaud me. (chuckles)

- [Logan] Wow, congratulations.

- About last night.

- Don't worry about your
cooking demonstration.

- Wait, what?

- I saw the text, Ava.

I didn't mean to,

but about you taking the job in Vancouver.

Or maybe this time you
wouldn't leave without warning.

- Logan, let me explain.
- No, that's fine.

I'll see you again someday, you know?

- Logan.

(Ava sighs)

(somber guitar music)

(Ava sighs)

(somber guitar music continues)

(fingers tapping)

(somber guitar music continues)

(fingers tapping)

(somber guitar music continues)

(hands tapping)

Dad.

(Donny groans)

Got ya.

Did they say they have to
go back all the way down?

Oh my gosh, oh gosh!

- [Donny] What are you doing?

- Can you, can you--
- Don't touch my feet.

- No, can you feel it?

- Oh, my foot's dead, I
think there's no blood.

- Dad.

(Donny chuckles)

You stink.

No, don't.

(commentators chattering on television)

(cans popping)

- [Commentator] Good save by
Moore on that... (voice trails)

(clock ticking softly)

(toast crunching)

- [Donny] Holy crow, that's delicious.

- Really?

- Oh yeah.

And...

Hmm.

- It's just a grilled cheese

like mom used to make
with a couple additions.

- It is not the same
as Mom made, trust me.

I had plenty of her grilled
cheeses over the years.

- Well, it was inspired by her then.

Like comfort food.

- Hmm.

(hand patting)

(footsteps pattering)

Your mom was an incredible cook.

I know that you got your
talent in the kitchen from her.

Remember she had that big garden out back?

- Oh right, I totally forgot that.

We used to spend all day
prepping ingredients,

and she wouldn't even use a recipe.

She'd just make things up.

- Who knew you would
get so serious about it.

- Yeah, almost too serious.

(sighs) We just cooked because it was fun.

It didn't have to be fancy
or perfect, it was just...

- Yummy.
- Yeah.

That's why I cook.

Because it's yummy.

You know, Dad, I was
thinking maybe I could

help you with the Cadillac?

(Donny chuckles)

- [Donny] You hate cars.

- No, I hate that car because it was

basically the sibling I never wanted.

- Mm.

- [Ava] But maybe I
would like restoring it.

- Okay, deal.

But first you have to make
me another grilled cheese.

- Mm.

Okay.

(Donny chuckles)

- Yummy!

(upbeat guitar music)

(horses neighing)

(horses neighing)

(equipment creaking)

- It looks like this is gonna
be your biggest year ever.

- Yeah.

- It's just too bad Donny's
Caddy couldn't drive the parade.

Would've been a big draw.
- Yeah.

- You know what else
would've been a big draw?

- I don't want to talk about it, Dad.

- [Bill] I'm just saying,
there were a lot of people who

were really excited about
seeing Ava's demonstration.

Heck, I was.

- Ava doesn't care about this town.

She's been dying to leave
ever since she got back.

- Maybe she doesn't have a
reason to think otherwise.

Son.

- What are you...

- Have you ever actually
asked her to stay?

Did you ever give her a
reason to come back to town?

Have you ever told her
how you feel about her?

Ever?

(rooster crowing)

Didn't know Ava was a mind reader.

(hay rustling)

(upbeat guitar music)

- No, no, no, no, no.

- Dad, I haven't even touched it yet.

- Yes.

Just okay, just go easy.

- Okay.

- Not there though.
- Dad!

- Sorry, it's just you're
going in a little aggressively.

- I am being gentle, I promise.

- Mm.

(Donny sighs)

(Donny chuckles)

Your mom used to do that.

- Hmm, what?

- [Donny] Stick her tongue out when she

was concentrating on something.

- Oh.

Did Mom ever work on the Caddy?

- All the time.

Bought it for her, you know?

- I didn't know that.

I didn't even know she liked cars.

- Mostly just this one.

We got it together, couple
years before you were born.

Just to, I don't know, have
something fun to do together.

You know, we even drove
down to Santa Barbara

to see where it was made.

Yeah, we'd come in here, talk for hours,

and just kind of putz around with it.

Your mom...

She was the best company in the world.

Hey.

I'm sorry.

I just want to say that I'm sorry

for not being there for you when she died.

I was just overwhelmed.

I...

I could barely move.

- I know.

- You know, I'd come in
here and work on the car,

and it was like I still had her with me.

It was like there was this piece of her

that was right here, right here with me.

Just tinkering like we did, you know?

I never wanted to finish it.

I guess cooking was your way
with dealing with her loss.

This car was mine.

- I never really thought about that.

I'm sorry I didn't stay to help you.

- Oh.

No.

There's stayers and goers
in every small town.

And early on, you know who they are.

And you were a goer.

We all knew that.

We knew you were gonna leave.

I mean, just that we
hoped you'd come back.

- We?

- Me and Logan.

- Logan?

- Yeah.

I mean, I was numb, but that poor kid,

that kid was heartbroken.

He didn't know what to do with himself.

He'd come here, he'd
come down to the shop.

Just looking for
something, anything to do.

Couple of years he was hanging
around, then he left too.

- Dad, what are you talking about?

- He used to mope around that fort

that you guys built together.

I mean, a grown man
hanging around a tree fort.

It's a sad thing.

- I have to go.

I love you.

(hand patting)

- Love you too.

- Dad?

I have an idea.

(upbeat music)

- Whoa, that is so gnarly, Mr. M.

- What are you doing
here on a Saturday, Zion?

- Working on my baby.

Just like you taught me, you know.

Gotta keep the classics alive.

- That's a '95 Beemer.

- That's so vintage, right?

That's like 10 years before I was born.

- Okay, Dad, why don't you point me

in the direction you wanna go?

- Oh, allow me. (clears throat)

- Zion.
- Sorry, Mr. M.

- This isn't Friday night at the disco.

- I am quite the dancer to be fair.

Are you guys gonna pick up some
more parts to the caddy or?

- Among other things.

Dad, are you sure you wanna do this?

You don't love people,

and there are gonna be a lot of people.

- It's just temporary, I
can handle it, for you.

- I'm liking this vibe, Mr. Miller, sir.

I was wondering if I
might have your permission

to ask your daughter to the dance this--

(mask clanking)

Oh.

(tractor engine humming)

- Wow, it looks like
the whole town is here.

Okay, Dad, why don't we sit down here?

Okay.

Sit, stay.

(upbeat banjo music)

- Ava.
- Hi.

- Hey, I missed seeing you lately.

- Well, you know how
demanding a patient my dad is.

- Hey.

- Hi.

Everything is looking really good.

- Oh, thanks.

Do you have a minute to talk?

- I am actually looking for Betty,

so I am going to have to catch you later.

(Logan sighs)

- Since when are they friends?

- Don't know.

Donny!

- Hey.
- How you doing?

- Good to see you.

- Since when are you friends?

(crowd cheering)
(crowd applauding)

That one's my favorite.
- That one, yeah.

- And the one behind it
and the one behind it!

- Yeah, all of 'em, all of 'em.

Woo-hoo!
- Hey, no, whoa!

I don't remember giving Zion the go ahead

for that monstrosity.

(crowd cheering)
(crowd applauding)

- [Betty] Hey, come on,
you gotta go easy on him.

- Do I?

- Didn't you know that
he named the car Ava?

- No.
- Yeah, he did.

Yeah. (laughs)

Woo-hoo!

(crowd cheering)
(crowd applauding)

(car engine humming)

Good thing that she's
at the end of the parade

or this would've taken all day.

- Yeah.
- Oh my God.

(crowd cheering)
(crowd applauding)

(Ava laughs)

- I'm shaking!

That was amazing.

Oh Dad, I didn't even notice the rose.

- Your Mom's favorite.

You know, she never got to drive this car,

but she would be so proud that you did.

- You're gonna make me cry! (laughs)

All of your fans await.

- That's gonna make me cry. (laughs)

- Get out of here, let's go.

(crowd cheering)
(crowd applauding)

- Hi!

- Hi, everyone.

(people chattering)
(car door banging)

- Hey.

(people chattering)

- You know, this car was made in 1926.

The same year that my
mom was made. (chuckles)

But down in, actually, they
only made a few of them.

- It's so incredible to
see her in action, huh?

- Oh, she just needed a woman's
touch to get her running.

- (chuckles) Look who's the car nerd now.

- Well, they don't call
me Ace for nothing.

- They're calling you Ace?

- The place to place flour.

This car was made specifically
for young men to go courting.

- Listen, Ava, I really
have to talk to you.

- You know what, this can wait

because I have a cooking
demonstration I need to get to.

- Yeah, so my wife, Nancy
and I actually drove down...

- I'm sorry, Ava, it's canceled.

- Don't worry, Betty helped me.

- She what?

Who?

- [Donny] So they'll hold her inside.

Went in and put roses in there today to...

(soft chattering)

- Hello, everyone, gather around!

How are we all doing tonight?

(crowd cheering)
(crowd applauding)

What an awesome parade that was!

(crowd cheering)
(crowd applauding)

All right, well, I've got some good news

and I've got some bad news.

The bad news is our resident
celebrity chef, Ava Miller,

will not be giving a cooking
demonstration this evening.

(crowd groans)

The good news is she
would like to welcome you

to her brand new popup restaurant.

(crowd cheering)
(crowd applauding)

- Hi, everyone!

Welcome to The Way To The Heart
popup restaurant experience

inspired by my mom's home cooking.

(crowd cheering)
(crowd applauding)

We are gonna be popping up
at various places around town

starting after today at
Donny's mechanic shop.

Thanks, Dad. (chuckles)

(crowd cheering)
(crowd applauding)

And we are sourcing 100%
of all of our ingredients

from local farmers and
foragers from this market!

(crowd cheering)
(crowd applauding)

- Well, what are you waiting for, people?

Grab a table!

- You really couldn't leave
this at the table, huh?

- Took me 30 years to get
a trophy for that car.

I'm gonna be buried with it.

- I can't believe that you
let me drive the Caddy.

- Neither can I, but I'd regret
it if I didn't. (chuckles)

- Can I cut in?

- Young man, are your intentions
with my daughter honorable?

- Yes, they are.

- [Donny] All right then. (chuckles)

- Bye.

- Well.
- Zion.

- Ava.

- I liked your car.

- Oh, yeah, yeah.

It's just a starter car, you know.

It gets me around.

- So what are you gonna
do after graduation?

- Oh, I'm gonna kick this town
as fast as I can, you know.

Gotta get out there, see the real world.

- I think that's a great plan.

And you can always come
back home if you want.

- Yeah, no doubt, no doubt.

(Logan clears throat)

- May I have this dance?

- Yeah, dude, of course.

- Good luck with Ava.

Your car. (chuckles)

Hi.
- Hi.

So really sticking around, nuh?

- Mm-hmm.

- What changed your mind?

- Couple of things.

My dad, obviously.

And I may have found our old tree fort.

- Ava.

I never should have expected you to stay.

It wasn't fair.

I should have left with you when you did.

I don't know, I guess I was selfish.

- We were just kids.
- Yeah.

- We didn't know anything.

- I might have known

that I was hopelessly in love with you.
