Original subtitles

Mano, you calling it already?

Not even eight.

Can't be late for my first day in my new role.

Yeah, well, don't let the promotion go to your head, mister.

My family no chance.

Hey, this Mr.

Manager, do you know?

I'm not calling you that.

Come on, give it a try.

It's got a nice ring.

Just don't mess it up, Mr. Manager.

See you. We'll see.

It is our great honor to welcome you to our new family -run resort, one that we

have been blessed to take over.

Mahalo nui.

It is our mission to keep the small boutique resort alive and well on our

island, and it is our honor to celebrate that with you.

So, without further ado, e komo mai?

Noah, why won't you let me help?

You're too small, Manu. You gotta wait till you're big and strong like me. Who

said? Mom and Dad.

You need me. No, Tutu needs you.

He's looking for you.

Tutu,

Noah said you wanted to see me.

Mahu, come, child.

Did you know that the spirits of our ancestors...

are in every leaf and flower.

That is why when we take care of the land, we honor our ancestors.

In return, they gift us with manna, which is a special kind of wisdom and

strength.

I can already see that in you.

Then why won't they let me do anything?

Maybe what they're doing.

It's not for you.

But I want to help.

Don't worry.

Very cool, Kiki.

One day you're going to be expected to do a lot of things around here.

My prediction?

The sample's going to test cleanest it has in 10 years.

Then we've done our job and then some.

How do I feel like I'm sending my kid off to college?

So proud, but a little misty. Just not used to leaving before the final

Because you're an eco -geek who has a hard time unplugging.

What are you talking about? I'm barely on social media.

From work?

Oh, well, that may be true, but that's real.

Got to take the gave when it comes.

Doesn't look like our work is going to dry up anytime soon, sadly.

Did you just make a water pun?

Unintentionally. But, yeah.

But, seriously, you know I never normally cut a job short for one of my

friend's weddings. I know.

Are you sure?

Considering you said yes to every project I've offered you in the last,

five years?

Give or take.

Without a proper break?

Yes, I'm sure.

Okay, good.

Now go.

This is my first time being a maid of honor. You really think it's going to be

relaxing?

In Hawaii?

Yes.

Everything is relaxing, provided you get there on time.

Okay, well, you'll email me the results and keep me posted on our next gig?

What do you think?

I'm going.

You know what? I actually have plenty of time. Way more than I thought I'd have.

So maybe I could help pack up, follow you back to the lab. How's that?

Unacceptable. What? Why?

Because it's the opposite of island time.

I'm not there yet. You clearly need a head start.

Go. Go.

Wish me luck.

Have fun.

Good morning.

Aloha.

Welcome to the Haleho Aloha Resort.

I'm Manu, one of your two resort managers.

If you need anything during your stay, please don't hesitate to ask.

Enjoy.

Hey, shrimp.

You know, I've been taller than you for years. You might want to come up with a

new nickname. Kind of attached to this one by now. Bro.

Okay, but just don't use it with a guest in here, okay?

Got to keep it professional, bro.

How is your first day going, Mr.

Manager? No complaints.

Lots of ideas thrown by you.

And as much as we'll love to stay in here, all of them, I got bigger fish to

fry.

At least you're going to stay strong.

I'm proud to get lunch.

People who actually take lunch break every now and then.

I am here now and ready to help with any and everything you need.

Luckily for you, we're actually good.

Seriously? I thought you said there was so much to do. There was.

But Michael jumped in like a champ. Only mildly cursing my color -coded

checklist. And Tessa and Kate helped out a lot, too.

So we're actually in good shape. That's great. I'm so glad, but I'm sorry I

couldn't help more.

No, no, stop saying sorry.

You can't help your work schedule. I'm just glad that you took the rest of the

week off.

Oh, you know I wouldn't miss it. You missed mine.

I'm kidding. I know you were out at sea doing something selfless and important.

Oil, clean up, and nickel. See? Important.

You better not miss my wedding.

Wait, you and Levi are engaged?

Nope. I'm just giving you... Fair warning. Okay, phew, I didn't think I

out of time.

Oh, it's finally here. You're getting on the beach.

So we all better be ready.

It's time.

I cannot believe you're getting buried here.

Stunning, right?

Wow. Are you talking about me?

I have been working out a little more than usual, so all for you, though.

I'll go check us in.

I love you, Michael.

You're the best.

I know, I know.

I know we've been doing a lot of band -aid sexes over the last few years,

I came up with a list of upgrades, improvements.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, Manu. Slow down. It's day one.

I'm not sure, but I've been shadowing Noah forever.

Manu, we love your enthusiasm, but now is not the time to talk improvements.

We just want you to focus on getting up to speed.

Like a multi -desk.

Ah, but the guests come first.

Yeah.

Can you imagine how much water it takes to keep all this to clean?

No.

And neither should you.

It's not like we're in the high desert.

Not the point.

I know, but no work or work talk this week. Remember?

Yeah. Your between job. Not a relaxing thought.

For like a hot minute. So just try and turn off your beautiful brain and

enjoy doing nothing.

Right.

Totally going to try that.

Oh, just after this one thing. No, I'm just really sorry.

Uh -huh.

Welcome to the Haleholo Resort. Would you care for a lay? Yes.

Oh, hi.

Thank you for this.

Very pretty.

Would you like some coconut water?

Oh, no, I'm good. Speaking of water, I am curious, what are you doing in terms

of recycling?

I'm sorry, what? For the coconut water? Oh, no, no, I just couldn't help but

notice how lush the gardens and grounds are, and I was curious about to know

what you're doing in terms of water conservation. I'm sure it takes a ton to

keep it up.

Well, we are currently researching improvements that respect the gradual

ecosystems of Gawadi.

Meaning?

You ask a lot of questions, don't you?

Oh, sorry.

You know what? I need to get checked in. Oh, I can help you with that.

Oh, you handle check -in, too.

I'm Manu, one of the resort managers.

We run a relatively small operation, so you'll be seeing a lot of the same

people.

First and last name, please.

Sarah Gordon.

Will anyone else be joining you?

That's a bit personal, don't you think?

Just asking so I know how many keys you need.

Right. Just one would be nice.

I have you in room 183.

You'll find there's a nice view of the garden.

You still have real keys?

We do.

Oh, no, I just thought that most hotels would set out years ago.

Oh, well.

Some people appreciate the more vintage personal touch of a real king.

But there's a suggestion box over there across the lobby.

Feel free to visit it as often as you like during your stay.

I will.

Thanks.

I don't understand.

How am I just saying this?

It was last summer, Manu. This wasn't something to concern you with.

But it is concerning.

I agree.

We've been doing what we can. But it's clearly not enough.

For now, it has to be.

Look, they'll be coming back in three months. I don't know.

And it's not just the rating, okay? We have a responsibility greater than

ourselves. We know that.

But you have to remember that we're not a mega resort.

We can't overextend or there'll be no doors to open for them when they do come

back. So you just want me to ignore it?

No, Manu. We want you to focus on making this a warm and authentic stay for our

guests. Keeping guest satisfaction up and the Aloha spirit alive on our

That's what we want.

That's the job.

Okay.

So, let's get ready for the day.

The coffee?

No.

We lost our venue.

For the wedding?

No.

For rehearsal dinner.

Okay, technically we didn't lose it since I just discovered I never hit send

the contract email.

What did Michael say?

Nothing. I haven't told him yet. Why?

He's kind of a little both worried and he'll worry about me worrying because he

knows that I want this week to be perfect.

It has to be perfect.

It's once in a lifetime.

Fine, okay?

Like, we want to figure this out.

How?

There's no time to figure this out.

Uncle Lou is going to be here any minute, all the way from New York. And

promised him we'd golf, and I don't even golf. So there's that. Okay, okay,

stop. Knee press.

Don't worry, okay?

I've got this. I can do it. What? The rehearsal dinner?

Why do you sound so surprised?

Okay, look, we both know that I am not the most experienced maid of honor, but

I'm pretty sure it's my job to help.

Really? I don't want either of you to stress, so just give me a budget and a

headcount and forget about it, okay?

Yeah, I've got this. It's gonna be fun.

You're lying.

I'm alone.

Just leave it to me.

Oh, I did that.

Is it water -related?

I wish. Fixing that would be way easier.

I'm looking for Alana. I left her a message, but... That's me.

You're Alana?

Uh, this week.

Just handling events for my cousin while she's at a trade show.

Oh. Right.

Well, Alana... Manu.

Got it.

Any chance you could help me plan a rehearsal dinner super quickly?

For when?

Friday?

This Friday.

For this wedding?

Yeah, unfortunately.

A little planning mishap. Not on your end. Not your fault.

Just trying to help a bride out. So if you could point me in the right

direction, or a direction, that would be super helpful.

Well, enjoy your stay.

That's what I'm here for.

Really? You have time?

No, but I'll make it.

I can't have the first wedding under my watch not go 100%. Even if it's not my

mistake.

Where do we start?

You can't take a bad photo here.

You know, Michael needs to get a good shot of this because you look super

official. Smoke and mirrors are many best friends.

Do you want to come with us?

Golfing. Oh, you know what? Normally I would love to.

Or at least drive the cart.

But, uh... You sure you're okay doing this?

I wouldn't have offered if I wasn't. So go. Tee off.

Have fun.

Hey. Hey.

I already found one place that's available.

My friend's mom runs it, so it's some strength.

It's a bit fancy.

Promising.

Oh, that's our bride's little dress.

I can tell.

Really?

I work in hospitality.

It's my job to understand people, you know, see what's really going on, so I

help.

I think what would really help is staying at one place.

Is that all right?

No, the one place is not on property, so... We'll take the tour jeep.

Oh, that uses a lot of gas.

Never mind.

I'll reserve my questions for later.

All right. Okay. Bye.

It sounds a little formal, but it's got great ocean views.

Sounds nice.

Yeah, it's just a turning point.

How long have you been in hospitality?

Since I was seven.

That doesn't sound legal.

My parents took over this place when I was seven.

And you've been there ever since?

Yep.

Just working my way up, slowly but surely.

Wow, I can't even imagine that.

Which part?

Growing up in a resort, working with your family, or climbing your way up

heaven.

I didn't mean that at all, but... Oh, good question.

That's okay. It's fine.

I know, unfortunately.

It's okay.

Thank you.

Thank you.

That was super helpful.

Thank you for arranging this.

Oh, my pleasure.

I love that it's all linen tablecloth. It feels very wedding -y.

I'm not sure about the orange, but I do like the white tablecloth and the bird

of paradise.

Yeah, I mean, I feel like I know exactly what this would be.

Let's book it.

What? That's the first place you've seen.

Oh, is there a second one?

Not yet, but there will be.

Oh, well, we don't exactly have a lot of time. And I need to figure out the

flowers and the music. And since I've clearly never planned anything like this

before, I think it's best we lock it down. Step two.

So you think it's what the bride wants?

Oh, I mean, sure, right? It's not, like, elegant, pricey, but not too pricey.

It's kind of perfect, right?

So it is in the city.

Do you want to make it special?

Well, of course.

Okay, that's easy.

Easy.

Yeah, just make sure everything feels personal. All the little touches, the

thought you put into them.

That's to make something special.

Thank you for placing that boulder on my chest.

Hey, you asked for my help.

Technically, Alana.

You know what I'm going to do? A quick check -in with Lydia. She likes it.

Okay.

Okay.

It's going to be great.

What?

Nothing.

Nothing?

I'm trying to, but have you ever thought of pushing this out? Or do you have a

whole fleet?

Of what?

Corgi. You might want to consider electric.

It costs a lot to bring cars to the island.

Like, Tosh put me into that. Sorry.

Oh, but better yet, you could replace them with walking tours. Zero emissions.

Is this like a twitch? Because there seems to be no filter.

Hazard. Good job.

What job?

Ecologist. I mean, that's why I studied everything. But I landed and... No, let

me guess.

Water efficiency?

You are good at reading people.

Thank you.

Now, may I interest you in our zero emissions option for the trip back?

You do have an option.

That makes my heart so much happier.

What is it?

Are you suggesting I welcome?

Just presenting you with an eco -friendly option.

Thank you.

I know you didn't mean to take me there, so I appreciate it.

At least now you have an option.

Yeah.

I'll get back to you soon.

Yeah.

And just so you know, when I said I couldn't imagine your life, it's just

because we moved around a lot when I was growing up, and now I travel a ton for

work.

I just couldn't imagine having a place like this to always go.

And hey, with all this stuff, just remember it's the little things that

Thank you.

Woo!

Nice!

See that?

Honey?

Manu, sorry to ruin your day, but there's a problem.

It's the salination system.

Hello.

Dunning Resort, our gorgeous friends, and Island Time.

We are so grateful you are here.

Island Time!

To Island Time!

What do you mean on the fritz?

It's the salination system.

We've got to replace the salt cell for the entire pool.

And you can't just repair it?

Afraid not.

So how long will it take?

With supply chain issues, it's going to be at least a week or two.

Two weeks?

How soon do we have to do this? It shouldn't wait.

I just want to make sure there's not a better solution.

Sure, call.

But the longer we put this off, we risk a bigger repair bill and a longer pool

closure. Just give me a few days to figure it out.

Hey, do me a favor.

Don't tell my parents about this.

I want to take care of this on my own.

Okay, buddy.

I mean, it looks great.

Do you love it?

I love anything you love. I mean, it's wedding -y.

That is why I'm here.

What are we looking at?

Rehearsal dinner spot.

What do you think?

I'm happy with anything she's happy with.

And I default to you.

Excellent.

So, we'll see you in the morning?

Yep, bright and early.

Great.

Oh, but I hope not.

You're on vacation.

Give yourself a minute.

Working on it.

I'm sure it'll be perfect.

question uh yeah is it possible to see just one more place for comparison only

if you can swing it oh right uh good yeah no problem are you are you okay

for sure dealing with a minor emergency minor

worn out saltwater chlorinator for the main pool oh i'm gonna have to close it

for a bit immediately that's not minor Especially with a full wedding party.

I'm stressed.

Any alternative?

You know I'm an ecologist, not full maintenance, right?

True, but you seem full of ideas.

Oh, I am.

But wait, let me get this straight.

Hit me?

You want to hear my opinion?

I do, yes.

You don't want me to just jump in the box somewhere?

No, never.

Okay, then.

What about reverse osmosis?

Reverse what?

Reverse osmosis. I've read about these trailers. They use ultraviolet rays and

these giant membranes to clean pool water back to drinkable quality. So if

could find one... Well, even if we could find one, which is a big if, I'm sure

it would still cost a fortune.

Then why don't you ask for my ideas? Big problems need big ideas.

Maru, the painters just finished the East Wing sweep.

Come, do a walk -in with us before lunch.

I'm just helping this guest find her way to the spa.

Then I'll meet you over there.

Oh, well, quite an effort to interrupt, eh?

Enjoy your stay.

Wow, I'm planning a spa day, am I?

Oh, son of me.

I'm sorry about that.

It's a little complicated.

What, working together?

Well, sometimes.

They've seen a lot of smaller resorts like ours go out of business over the

years, so I get where the caution's put.

Things are starting to break, need repair, and they can't just keep

problem.

Why don't you just tell them that?

If I'm going to have any shot at them considering something other than the

obvious, I'm going to need hard numbers.

How about this?

You find me one more option for the rehearsal center, and I will get you the

numbers, in case they can't resist.

Sounds like a deal to me.

How are the interviews going for the new head chef?

I got it narrowed down to three candidates. We'll schedule interviews

tastings for you and mom over the next few weeks. Nice. Hey, sorry I'm late.

Did you get my email?

I haven't had a chance to check email the last hour or so. There were requests

from the wedding party. And I saw you helping them make lace for tomorrow.

Tutu would be proud.

Well, she spent a lot of time teaching me, so I'm trying.

After that, I'll need you to look after the garden.

What's going on?

Lico spotted some invasives. We'll have to pull them out before they spread any

seeds or pollen.

I'm on it.

Okay, bro, but can you get on figuring out what you want to order? Because

all starving here.

Anything but shrimp.

Okay, shrimp.

Manu sent me a text. He's on another plate, so we're going to look at it

and then decide.

Is Manu the manager?

Yes.

Is Manu that manager?

Yes. Why?

No reason.

He just seems really, you know, helpful and attentive.

I'm pretty sure that's his job.

And I offered to help him out, too, so there's that.

You did?

With what?

Nothing, just a little advice.

Work advice?

I'm sorry, it's a habit.

Don't worry, I'm not Matt.

You're not?

Nope. Let's look at you.

On your birthday cake.

And, like, forever.

In a flowery dress.

With a plumeria behind your right ear.

Because that's what you told me to wear.

Because you're single versus taken. Are you serious?

What? And I have been on vacation.

How many?

Since grad school.

Well, maybe I am saving them up for a rainy day.

Or retirement.

I know you love your work, but you might love vacations, too, if you let

yourself just relax.

Have you missed me?

Oh, look.

Fruity drinks for everyone.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Cheers.

Thank you.

Trying to impress Mommy and Dad by being the last one out?

Uh, just finishing up.

You good?

Yeah, why?

No, just checking.

You're good at what you do, Mom.

Just stay focused on the job that they're asking you to do, okay?

Don't worry, I'm turning in soon.

These are tea leaves. They are native to Hawaii and are a symbol of respect,

peace, friendship, and love.

Sarah! Hey!

Come on over!

That's okay. I'm too late.

No, you're not.

You can join us if you want to.

Oh, yeah.

Sounds good.

Hi. Wonderful. Thank you. Hi.

Oh, yay. Can't wait.

Here you go.

Don't worry. I'll cut yourself.

Great.

Start with a couple of those.

Okay. How we doing?

fancy as you think. Sure?

Yep.

Okay, then I'll ask Kanani for a contract.

Mahalo.

Ugh.

Wow, you smell so good. Not, like, super flowery where I just want to sneeze for

ten minutes straight.

Well, that's probably good considering Hawaiian priestesses and weddings do

together the hands of bride and groom.

Okay, so that was deeper than I was expecting.

From who, me?

From a laymaking class.

Oh.

My grandma used to run this, so I know a lot of fun facts.

Like, you never throw the layaway.

You don't?

It'd be like throwing away the affection of the person who gave it to you.

Well, then that needs to be better advertised, because I'm pretty sure the

from prom didn't make it.

But at least I still have the one from here.

What am I supposed to do with it? Frame it?

Drape it?

On?

I don't know, a tree or a special place.

Or you could just throw it into the ocean.

The whole thing?

No. I don't know. Well, you could, but most people would just crush the petals

and let them fly into the wind.

Well, that sounds very dreamy, like riding a horse on the beach at sunset.

reckless, like talking dollar bills in the air.

It's just giving back to the land that created it.

Here.

Oh. A symbol of friendship.

And it can also be a symbol of affection.

I think we're done.

Mahalo.

Hey.

Hey. I put calls into two places with the technology, but I'm still waiting on

your back.

Yep, that's island time for you. But a problem can start.

And I should have your contract cleared today.

Great. And then I just need to figure out the flowers and the tablecloth. Oh,

and that thing called my maid of honor speech, which I've never done before.

Okay, well then I'll start by calling it a toast.

Speech sounds way too formal and stressful.

That's the wise voice of experience.

Well, I've been in hospitality since before I could spell it.

I'm happy to help with the details.

Or, you know, listen in while you rehearse.

Really?

Oh, though it might be a while.

I have to pull up this nasty patch of invasive plants that are threatening the

garden. Oh, that could take a minute.

Maybe I should grab an extra set of gloves.

Sounds fun.

Fun? What?

More fun than sitting poolside pretending to relax.

You are a rare specimen.

Instead of being fully present here, I keep thinking about all the things that

need to be done.

Like work?

In the world?

That is a mountain to think about.

Especially when there's so much to be done.

Just know you're doing a ton already.

You can't do everything.

Not alone.

You shouldn't have to.

Should I get you those gloves?

Let's go.

So, simple, white tablecloth, and birds of paradise.

Take them.

Is that what you want?

That's what there's time for.

What about your toast?

Okay, pack off. You might need to taste my toast.

You know, this would be a great place for a low -water impact garden.

You could install a drip irrigation unit and then eventually use it to run the

gray water from the kitchen.

So none of the water I get these days goes away.

It's perfect for watering plants.

So it's kind of like water recycling.

And it saves money, which is what's going to impress my parents.

Totally. Yeah, most people think it.

Eco -friendly upgrades is costly, but normally they pick themselves up more of

the time.

I think we've done enough. You? Yeah.

Thank you for helping me pulling up weeds with exactly your standard

activities. I like working.

It feels good to do something with your hands and actually see the results.

Oh, thank you.

Yeah, but you're in Hawaii.

You've got to catch the aloha spirit.

I have.

Okay, not fully, but I can definitely feel it creeping in.

You know what else I want to introduce you to?

What?

Best food on the island? My treat?

Let me guess. Your restaurant?

Nope. Your bar?

Strike two.

Give me a hint.

It's a drive, but a pretty one.

Sure, yeah.

Why not? I guess I just need a moment to clean up.

Oh, no.

Actually, I was thinking tomorrow at the work.

I kept you away too long, and there's some things I need to take care of here.

Yeah, right.

Of course, and I'm kind of tired, so that's great.

Perfect.

I'll pick you up tomorrow at 8 a .m. My friend.

Perfect.

See you then.

Hi.

Wow, okay.

So is this the best shrimp on the island?

Best food on the island.

I pay him to say that.

Oh, they still give you a lunch break, huh?

I'll give myself some breaks now.

Nice.

Who's your friend?

I'm Sarah.

Now I can talk for myself.

I like you.

Okay,

come on, let's go see what you want.

This is your spot, I trust you.

Okay.

Okay, then go grab that table and put your feet in the sand.

I can do that.

Nice to meet you.

What?

So, she's nice.

She is.

Hey.

Hi.

You ready?

Okay.

Begin. Mmm.

Mmm.

So good.

Does your friend always hook you up like this?

No.

He just likes to show off to new customers.

And you'll be happy to know his shrimp are grown locally, so it doesn't get

fresher than this.

Do you have a thought in your head?

This place is kind of ridiculous.

I told you.

I'm not just here.

I'm Hawaii.

I feel super at home, like I've been coming here my whole life, even though

never been.

Although I guess that shouldn't surprise me, since I grew up near the water.

I bet you moved a lot.

I did, but my dad loves sailing, so I always had the water to anchor me.

Is that why you do what you do?

What, travel a ton for work?

No, just the type of work you do.

Maybe.

Maybe. I'm not sure.

I just know that no matter how awkward or shy I was being the new kid, I

could lose myself in hike, swimming, gardening.

Somewhere I always felt I belonged.

In nature.

More clearly comforting.

Therapeutic, even.

I know. Kind of strange.

No. Not at all.

I mean, not to me.

So what brings you comfort?

Ooh, so we're turning this on me now.

I thought we were talking about you.

Can't help be one -sided.

That's true. We have dominated a lot of the conversation.

Hey! Yes!

Okay. All right, my turn.

Well, I might have to show you what else might not make sense.

Do you have time to do that?

Might be stressing it a bit, but I think it'll be worth it.

You?

Do I have time?

Yeah.

I'm on vacation, aren't I?

Okay.

This is where I'd come as a kid.

Whenever I felt awkward or out of place, or admittedly left out as an overeager

kid wanting to please his parents.

Tidefalls. Turtle Cove.

At least that's what we call it.

Far enough away from the resort where I felt like I could adventure, explore,

not think of any of that.

Don't get me wrong.

I've always wanted to do something.

Anything.

I was so eager, but no. They always tried to protect me from that feeling

like I had to work just because they owned the resort.

It's almost a fault, but I always wanted to work.

I felt it was my kuleana, my responsibility and privilege to take

property.

The resort.

And the island?

I don't get that.

Well, I feel like you do.

More than anyone I've ever met before.

Well, I feel like you get me more than anyone has in very long time, so...

Here's that.

So, uh, is this...

This is where I spend most of my free time. You know, swimming, diving, tide

pooling. Is that a word?

Go with yes.

Weird. I don't know the last time I went out in the water for anything other

than work.

Really? Yeah.

Then let's go.

Where? Out there. Really?

Yeah. If you're lucky, you might even spot a sea turtle.

Oh. Well, now that you put it that way.

I think he knew I wasn't in love.

Have you seen your brother? He's not answering his phone.

Not since this morning.

Did you try his office?

When you see him, can you tell him to come find us?

Did you see those kids over there?

Yeah. But I know exactly what they were playing.

Same game we used to play all the time.

It looked like they were just standing still.

They were, because... First person to flinch when something climbing touches

them loses.

Oh, wow.

That's the game we used to play?

How'd you read?

Hi. Of course.

I know I used to say it's because nothing scared me, but that wasn't true.

Oh, yeah. Scallywags?

Nope.

My parents finding out I was sneaking around and grounding me. Oh, terrifying.

Yep.

Should we, um, should we head back?

Yeah, probably.

Oh, wait.

What?

We call this the eternal honing.

They're a blessing and mean good luck.

My grandma used to say that I'm a cool.

Like an ancestral spirit, since I offer you guidance and wisdom.

Some say the Honu are a living canoe that transports lovers to each other.

is so magical.

I think I just figured it out.

What did you want to say? The rehearsal dinner.

I thought that was very exciting.

Without giving it enough thought, but the restaurant is beautiful, it really

but it doesn't really feel like Lydia, what they're going for.

But the day we just had?

It's all about connection, right?

Yeah. All right, well, that's pretty easy. You sure?

Yeah.

Although music would be a huge bonus if possible.

Otherwise, I'd sing.

I don't like this. I'm a plan B.

Thank you for coming with me.

Yeah, I'm glad we went.

Really special.

Oh, it looks like they sent me some numbers. So why don't I go over them

Yeah, regroup in an hour?

Yeah, just send me a text when you're free.

Cool. Great.

I just... Oh, sorry. No, just... Yeah.

Yeah.

Hey, brother.

Did you get caught up in the rain?

Nah, nah, I made it back.

Coming back for a second?

Nah.

You good?

What if nice was an understatement?

So, you're talking about the girl?

About Sarah.

You said she was nice, but what if she's more than that?

What do I do?

You really don't know what to do?

Can't just ask her out. She lives in California.

I'm not saying it's easy, but I've seen you go after what you want since you

went to Greece.

Yeah, but that's work.

This is bigger.

More complicated.

Which is exactly why you don't stop going for what you want now.

When it matters most.

Since when do you get all sentimental?

It was right after I found my son.

Do you really feel something?

Find a way, Mr. Monarch.

Just follow your heart, brother.

Talk later.

Hi, guys. Can I borrow Lydia for a second?

As long as you join us after. I will. Definitely.

Soon.

What's up?

I have some things to tell you and some things to not tell you.

Okay.

First, I figured out what we're going to do for the rehearsal tomorrow.

It's different than what we initially talked about and what you guys initially

planned before the mishap, but I think you're going to love it.

I'm sure.

What do you think?

A surprise.

Seriously?

Okay, fine, fine.

It'll be a surprise.

And secondly, I'm going to be running around getting ready for that today, and

then I have some plans later.

So you might not see me much today, but the next few days are all you. And are

these other plans romantic in nature?

Possibly. Oh!

Then I support you. Go forth and make delightful choices.

I love you.

You want a drink? Yeah.

How many weeks?

In the Central Valley?

Yes. Room and board is all handled, of course, per usual.

But it'll be pretty intense.

Sounds good.

Important.

Can I get back to you?

Oh, sure.

When you're back is fine.

Thank you.

And thank you for thinking of me.

Always.

I don't know if you work.

We only have two days off to vacation.

Oh, I want to go.

Me neither.

What? I don't.

And it's not work, by the way. It's my toast.

You know what?

I am not going to overthink it.

No? No.

I'm just going to speak from the heart and swim.

It's not long enough.

Hey.

Welcome to the Hallejo Aloha Resort. Check -in is right this way, okay? Hey,

how's it going, guys?

I'm coming back for a reservation, okay?

Mom? Dad?

Everything okay?

We need to talk.

So you knew what was going on with the pool?

I knew there were issues that needed to be addressed.

The small water chlorinator basically imploded. We had to get everyone out and

close down the main pool. What?

Right now?

I didn't realize... Kanua told us that he warned you that we needed to change

the salt cell. He did, but I thought there was more time.

I was trying to find a workaround so we wouldn't have to close.

And one that would be better. For who?

The land.

The land is the chief.

We are his servants.

I'm sorry.

I was just trying to help.

Well, your help is going to cost us twice as much.

Maybe you weren't ready to move up to manager.

Chimo.

I'm sorry.

Let's shut it down.

This looks such a good idea. Good job.

I know. So good.

Oh, no.

I'm so sorry. We've had to temporarily close the pool, but we encourage you to

utilize the private beach or the kids' pool.

Why don't we just go to the beach? We'll just tell everyone to meet up there.

I get it.

We're working as hard as we can. I hope to have it open before you leave.

Thank you.

Thank you.

... ...

glad you love it.

And you.

What can I do to help? There must be something.

Put your feet in the sand and relax.

How's that?

As long as you do too.

Deal.

We'll hold you to that.

Oh, okay.

We're gonna go grab a beverage where the beverages are.

Yeah, me too.

I'm sorry you have to look into all that.

But I'll do it for another time.

Yeah, for sure.

I'm going to get to that.

Will I?

April, they need you over in Cato when you can.

Sorry about that.

About dinner, I really want to go take you out.

Go ahead.

Don't worry. Get it.

It's complicated.

Yeah.

Like I said, get it.

I wish I did.

I should get back.

Sarah.

I know I said it's the little things that matter.

I hope you can just enjoy it.

I will.

What time is it?

Oh, you told me to wake you up at eight. So, morning.

You're oddly chipper.

Well, it's my job as your maid of honor.

I'm getting married today.

What do you want to do first?

Relax. What? You can't relax. You're the bride.

The wedding is not until three.

So, I think we need to grab our towels and head to the beach.

Unless... You want to go find a certain someone instead.

Oh, that. Yeah, no, he doesn't need my help anymore.

You could just hang out.

You know, whatever I thought, it's not anything.

Which is fine.

You know, good.

Probably better.

Is it?

You've got such a big heart.

I just want to make sure that you get back all that you deserve, too.

Right now, you know what I deserve?

A well -behaved bride who is willing to get up and ready for the day because it

is...

I know I said you should try a different approach with your family, but maybe

that's the problem.

You look at all of this through their eyes, trying to tell them what they want

to hear.

But have you tried speaking from your heart?

P .S.

Thanks for sharing your beautiful home.

Sarah.

To the best bride and bridesmaids.

We love you.

Fabulous. Come on, let's go fix your hair.

It's done.

Can't believe the next time I kiss Michael, he'll be my husband.

I'm so happy for you.

I'm so glad you're here.

Manu, what's this?

Ideas. Numbers.

Things that will improve our resort.

That need to be improved.

I even consulted an ecologist.

A guest who offered to help.

What's this about, son?

Our family.

Since as long as I can remember, our family has honored our homeland.

Our ancestors.

Titu.

But we've lost sight of that, of just talking to each other about what really

matters.

I've wanted to do this job since forever.

You both know that.

But to do my job, I have to be honest about what I see.

And you have to trust me, or this won't work.

It's all in there.

Honey, I won't ever let go.

Because you pulled me like a magnet.

Now I'm right where I belong.

I'm gonna love you the same for the rest of my days. And on and on and on.

Cause as long as we keep dancing, we'll stay young at heart.

And every time I hold you in my arms, you give me deja vu.

I've been waiting my whole life to find that you.

Cause when I'm looking at your eyes, I go from California to Timbuktu, back to

dancing in the living room. If I got you, baby, every day's a honeymoon.

We'll spend some time in Paris Serenade you on the beach We'll take a picture

for our parents But we're never gonna leave Nobody knows you like I

know you Nobody loves you like I do And if I'm never a star But I've got my

guitar I'll be singing songs to you And every time I hold

Give me deja vu.

Like I've been waiting my whole life to find that you.

Cause when I'm looking at your eyes, I know from California to Timbuktu, back

dancing in the living room. If I got you, there'd be every day's a honeymoon.

It's a maid of honor in case you didn't know.

Oh, come up here.

Wow, I am sure you can't tell, but I've never given a speech or even a

toast before.

And I wrote about a million different versions of what I wanted to say, but

being here, Seeing you guys so happy, so in love.

Best friends who take care of each other and protect each other from stress.

It made me realize that's what we're all trying to do.

Nurture all sides of ourselves, protect what we love, and show gratitude when we

find it.

And then hopefully we can pass that love on.

You guys have opened my heart with your love.

May it surround you forever.

Thank you.

Anu, mom and dad want to see you.

Say they got a project for you?

Let me guess, one you don't want to do?

No.

It actually sounds pretty cool.

But, you're the better man for the job.

I'm not happy about this departure.

Well, now I think we'll be back.

Maybe if we knew what to do.

But I couldn't copy Lydia.

Could I?

Why not? I'd love an excuse to come back here.

Well, then, maybe.

No, I said you wanted to see me.

Yes, come, sit.

We have a project for you.

Okay.

The cost and hassle of replacing keys, it's really getting out of hand.

And we looked at all of your numbers.

We'd like to make the switch.

To smart locks with codes?

Mm -hmm.

I know it's an investment, but I found a guy on the island who can manufacture

the handles from 100 % recycled... Not just room keys, man. Your overall plan.

Really? We don't want another low eco rating, do we?

We do trust you, Manu.

And we trust that you're going to ask for help when you need it. And as

as we've been, we like to keep moving forward in the right direction.

Mahalo.

Go.

Make sure that your guests have everything they need before they check

We're proud of you, son.

Did you already check out?

Sadly, yes.

I wanted to bring you this.

I thought ladies were an arrival thing.

Well, thank you.

For what?

Your notes, your advice, they've made a difference.

They listen.

Your parents.

I'm sure it'll take a bit, but they're open to our changes.

Starting with getting rid of our old school keys.

I just wish I knew an ecologist who could, you know,

help flesh out the whole plan.

Call me.

Call me, okay.

To help?

Sure.

But even better, do a little sightseeing.

Maybe take a hike to a waterfall.

Make it a date.

A date.

I'd love nothing more.

Your timing is a little off.

I was afraid you'd say that.

But mine has been for years.

Which is why I was just thinking about extending my vacation.

To stay here?

Well, not here, of course.

That would be a bit extravagant and complicated.

Are you serious?

You could stay longer on the island?

I will maybe make some phone calls, but I still want to stay.

I think I can make that happen.

Maybe someplace with a balcony or a view?

Yeah, any other requests or opinions?

Huh.

You know what I was thinking?

What?

We really could have had a low -impact eco -garden.

Hardening is what you're thinking about right now? No.

I'm thinking about where to take you on Wednesday.

I'm sure you have an idea, too.

Green? No, Ian.

It's where fairy tales meet countryside charm.

Feed the day.

The hot springs could become a tourist attraction.

And prepare.

Oh, dear.

Where are the bath people?

For moment.

After moment.

What are you up to?

An unforgettable heart. It's meant to be a surprise.

Good luck with that. Maybe Elizabeth will surprise us all. When Called the

Heart. All new season. Starts Sunday night at 9.

Only on Hallmark.
