To make blue panda watches stand out in its first big advertising campaign, We

must first define who you are. These combinations of colors and typefaces are

classic yet bold, just like the customers who will love Blue Panda. Like

woman.

She doesn't care about status, but craftsmanship and elegance.

What she loves most about her watch is how it makes her feel, like she can take

on the world.

I'm sorry, are my in -person skills rusty? I'm mostly pitching by video

conference these days. I love this.

No, you're making that face. The everything is okay but not okay face.

So what?

Is it the colors, the font, my outfit?

No, everything was great. It's just, how many clients does Milford and I

represent? 300?

I can't help but think that maybe we would do better at a smaller agency.

Okay.

What if I personally promised to make sure that Blue Panda gets all the

attention it deserves?

You would do that?

I know how hard you've been working to get Blue Panda off the ground and...

How important your first big advertising campaign is.

So, let's just call it the best friend treatment.

Thank you.

Is something wrong?

The return address on this one is from St. Tequila.

My great -uncle Tomas lives there, but this isn't from him.

Lorela?

Uncle Tomas, he passed away last week.

Sorry.

Lorelei, you should finish reading it.

It says he left me his sailboat, the Lorelei Lee.

The Lorelei Lee was my great -aunt and uncle's home for 30 years.

I can't just let it be auctioned off to anybody.

I have to make sure it goes to someone who will love it as much as they did.

That's a lovely thought.

You know, if I leave right now...

I can get down there and be back by Monday. That's plenty of time to work on

your lockups. Are you sure you can take care of everything that quickly?

Pretty sure.

A deal's a deal, and correct me if I'm wrong, we had a deal.

We'll expect a contract by the end of the week.

Lorelai, I was just about to ask you to drop in.

Have a seat.

Paul Milford is retiring at the end of this month.

Do you know what that means?

Freedom.

Excitement.

Inspiration. A whole new way of life.

I'm offering you a partnership here at Milford now.

A partnership?

Really? Oh, I always promised myself I'd run my own firm one day. Oh, I have so

many ideas, directions we can go, new ways to reach out to clients, and

we can offer.

We can discuss all that once everything's finalized. There will be a

probationary period, of course, starting today.

Actually, I may need to delay that a little bit.

I just learned that I inherited my great -uncle's boat, and I need to get down

to St. Tequila right away to claim it before I go to auction.

Do you know how many other people here would jump at this opportunity?

Jacobo already expressed a keen interest.

I'm keen? I'm more than keen. I'm eager, enthusiastic, practically effervescent.

It'll just take a few days to pop down to St. Tequila and make sure

arranged.

And I already decided to bring my laptop so I can work from there. How's that

for keen?

All right.

But your probation begins now.

I expect you back as soon as possible. Otherwise, the partnership goes to

someone else.

Of course.

No place I'd rather be.

Strong winds out there today.

Great winds could be testy, but we handled them, right?

More than handled them.

The lesser captain would have dunked us into the ocean.

Speaking of, we'd love to hire you again.

We're going to be heading out in a few weeks.

Bermuda, Nassau, maybe even beyond the Cape.

Appreciate the offer, but I don't want to be tied down long term.

That's only a six -month contract.

That's hardly forever.

I understand, but... No, I'm not going to take no for an answer from you.

Not yet.

Think about it for a few weeks, and I'll circle back with you.

Do you insist?

Just so you know, I'm not going to change my mind. Well, you'll not be the

man to say that, and then change it after all.

Rob! Rob, you're back!

Give us a seat, Nancy!

St. Aquila girls ain't got no combs, they just brush their hair with codfish

bone. So away you bully bully boys, haul away, haul away.

Keep her up! No matter the feeling, we're bound and set for St. Akira!

Woo!

What are you ladies doing here so close to the lunch rush?

Ah, rush is right.

Tomas' niece arrived today, and I wanted to show her the way to the marina. You

know how twisty these old streets are.

But I'll never have today's specials ready on time.

You want me to show her?

Would you?

Tomas would have wanted it that way. And I promised to have a huge plate of

stewed codfish and dumplings waiting for you.

Now that is an offer I can't refuse.

Where'd your passenger go?

I don't know.

Celeste gave me orders to get her back to the Lorelei Leo Cay.

How am I going to recognize her?

Can I help you? You lost?

No, I'm not. But my hopes and dreams and footwear, definitely lost.

It's a moss sneeze, right?

Who are you?

A clairvoyant cobbler?

Rob Alexander.

A friend of your uncle sent me here to make sure you get back to Lorelei Lee

this century.

I was beginning to feel like it would take that long.

Hop your way over there.

You really don't have to do that. I have other shoes.

All finished?

What, no bow?

Made a prompt to get you back to lower Lylita's sentry?

Sentry's slipping away.

Let's go.

You really don't have to do... My pilot told me to take a right at the fruit

market, a left at the fish vendor, and then a right again at the house with the

flash of the yellow flowers.

Every house here has yellow flowers.

Yes, it's not a flash. It's a tsunami.

And me wandering around, cursing the peonies.

I hate wandering, having no idea where I am.

Not all who wander are lost.

The only part about getting lost I like is being found.

Then we're at your favorite part.

I can't wait to see it in person.

I've only ever seen pictures when Uncle Tomas would visit.

It always looked so beautiful and clean.

Oh, my God.

My aunt and uncle love this boat.

They fixed it up piece by piece by hand themselves.

No,

no, no, that's not a... Idea.

What do you call a splash of colors?

It's just rainwater.

I have no idea how they got there.

All right.

I'm going to leave these right here.

You can go get changed in the marina.

Hope you have a nice day, and welcome to Tenaquila.

All right, here we go.

Two codfish and dumplings, as promised, and a side of spicy plantain.

Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm.

Unless you have no idea how long I've been craving this.

When are you not?

Rob Alexander, you have salt water in your veins and a sea shanty in your

Oh, did you take the master's needs to the marina all right?

Well, eventually.

Ahoy, the cafe!

Oh, Ernesto, what brings you today?

Look at this.

It's the biggest snapper I've ever seen.

And these shrimp.

Have you ever seen so many glorious sensations?

No. I had to buy them one and all and rush them over to select the best chef

the Caribbean.

I know, don't exaggerate. What do I owe you? It's a gift.

Where should I put the snapper? Oh, right in my pan. Fish like that must be

cooked right away.

See?

Now, word is Jim Brown offered you the captain's contract and you turned him

down.

We told you.

I like my anchor up.

Winning my sales.

In case you haven't noticed, you'd need a boat to do either.

March the 10th, 1982.

We did it.

Tomas and I had to sell everything we owned, but we did it.

This 40 -foot sailboat is now our home.

Tomorrow we set sail on the greatest adventure of our lives.

This boat could talk.

Hello.

Lorelai, how was your trip? Did you make it okay?

Yeah, I'm fine.

Apart from a few dozen wrong turns.

Is that your boat?

Yeah. This is it.

I'm actually going to need a few days down here after all.

No, it's just a few. And I've already cleared up all my present work and

the dossier to the clients. Did you see that? I CC'd you on them.

I did see that. And did you see the list of potential new clients I sent you?

Uh, no. No, I did not. Let's see. Oh, there it is.

Okay. Wow.

That's quite a list.

I want you to come up with rebranding strategies for each of them.

Do they all need rebranding strategies?

Of course they do.

They just don't know it yet. But that's what you're going to show them. I've

included the data team reports.

And I'll get started on those mock -ups for Blue Panda right away.

Blue Panda, my friend Grace's company?

Oh, yeah.

I've already reassigned that account to another graphic designer.

Oh, no. I promised Grace that I would take care of it.

Lorelai? You're going to be a partner now.

Delegate and supervise, mentor and manage.

Right.

Hi,

and

welcome to the Sun and Moon Cafe.

I'm Marie, and I'll be helping you today. If you have any questions, I

everything on the menu.

Do you have any recommendations for a working lunch?

Hmm.

I'd take a crab and callaloo. Or maybe the codfish with dumplings.

But if you want my honest opinion, order dessert first.

It's best to live life with no regrets.

That's good advice.

Well, then I will have the hummingbird cake first, of course.

And then the codfish and dumplings to finish it off.

You won't be sorry.

I am in need of a boat mechanic, and I was told that... Oh, yes, but I actually

need someone right away.

Of course I know it's the high season.

Do you have anyone else you can recommend?

Okay, I understand.

Thank you.

Hummingbird cake.

I see you asked the waitstaff for recommendations.

I was advised to live with no regrets.

Definitely no regrets. This is absolutely amazing.

Thank you.

Wow. Maybe I should have asked her for a recommendation for a mechanic with

immediate availability while I was at it. Horror trouble?

Sailboat trouble.

You must be Lorelai. I knew your aunt and uncle well.

Ah, so you're the one who sent the charming door guide.

I meant to, but I heard it turns into the search and rescue mission.

I'm Celeste.

Lorelai Brentano. I appreciate the thought.

Now, where are you staying?

I read rooms above the cafe and have more openings.

Oh, that's too kind, but I'm actually staying on the boat.

Though Lorelai Lee has a lot of work to be done and not a lot of time to do it.

She knew can't keep. She was a beauty in her day.

I know, but...

Now that she's not going to auction, I can find someone who will love her as

much as my aunt and uncle.

Any ideas about that?

I can't think of any good candidates locally.

You'll have more luck in a bigger place like Miami, which means you'll need a

mechanic and a captain.

I need to get back to Miami as soon as I can. This is supposed to be a quick

trip. So this would be a short -term job?

Yes, just as long as it takes to get the Lorelei leaf fixed up and off to Miami.

No, I... I'm going just right. I'll send him over tomorrow.

Oh, thank you. Oh, I'm happy to help. Now, don't run off. If you're going to

sleeping on that boat, you need a cabin kit.

Cabin kit?

Life on a boat takes practice.

Even if you're prepared, you won't be prepared.

I'll go get you one.

You'll thank me later.

Tomorrow we set sail.

One moment I'm confused, the next certain.

romantic and then skeptical, connected and then full of anxiety.

I don't know where this journey will take us, but I do know I've fallen in

with the Lorelei Lee, and I'm ready and willing for our adventure to begin.

After all, what is life but a series of adventures in the unknown?

repairs near me.

Is this your idea of payback?

Is there seaweed in it?

Point proven.

Permission to come on board.

Permission granted.

I'm sorry, I didn't know anyone was here.

What are you doing here?

Gweth sent me. She said you needed help fixing up the lower Lylee to get back to

Miami.

I just happen to be a captain and a mechanic.

Captain and a mechanic.

And a galley cook, too.

Well, cobbler's a bit of a hobby.

You're not helping your cave.

I've done the trip to Miami about a dozen times.

Scooters, cutters, loops.

Never bear to kill.

That's good?

It's good enough.

I'm on a tight deadline.

I have to get back to Miami as soon as possible.

Quick trips are my favorite.

Anchor up. Wind in the sail.

I always thought it was such a shame a beautiful boat like this was sitting.

I would love to help get her back to life.

I think it'd be time well spent.

You're hired.

So, now what?

You want to show me the lay of the land?

Don't you mean the lay of the sea?

As you can see, we're on the top.

And down that way are a bunch of railings.

Over here is a doohickey that...

Moves the thingamabobs.

And that is a steering wheel with a bunch of important buttons and knobs.

You haven't been on many boats.

Uh, sure. Days.

Weeks.

Do quizzes count?

Now we are in this dark place.

As you can see, it has all the comforts of home, a very small bedroom, an even

smaller kitchen, and please take note of the miniature bathroom.

Isn't she adorable?

The kitchen is called a galley.

This is incredible.

This is a lot bigger than you would normally find on a boat this size.

Custom.

Custom, too.

Is that your aunt and uncle?

Found my Aunt Lorelai's diary.

She and my uncle met here on the island on separate vacations.

They fell in love with the place and each other.

They decided to leave everything they knew and pledged to make the Lorelai Lee

their permanent home together.

Sounds nice.

It's not sensible.

A boat is not a home. It's a toy.

It's their own, I suppose.

Or Lylee.

You painted it?

It was a birthday present for Uncle Thomas. I worked off the pictures he

us.

Yeah, tell him.

It was a fun project, but I'm no Monet.

I'm actually a graphic designer.

About to make partner at my firm.

If I can get back to Miami before my boss changes his mind.

You're right.

We have a lot of work to do. I'll get you back to the rat race.

All right. I've done a ton of research, and I've made a list, and I think we can

start with... I prefer to work alone.

Is this that thing you do, charging a head, regardless of anybody else?

You said it. Not me.

You do know that two heads are better than one, right? Not to mention four

to do all this work.

Not always.

Did I mention I need to get back to Miami as soon as possible?

Even more reason to let me get started.

We have a lot of work to do. This is my boat, and I'm going to help. And if you

can't accept that, I will just find another mechanic.

We've been through this.

There's nobody else here this time of year.

Then you will just have to accept it.

All right, you're going to have to follow proper etiquette, no messing with

wires, no horsing around on deck.

And please do not flood the bilge.

Okay.

Repeat that last part.

And you're going to have to call me Captain.

All right.

Captain.

As owner of this vessel, you are going to have to call me Boss.

So?

Deal?

Deal.

Boss.

So, what are you going to start with?

Acting as your boss, of course.

I'm going to start by changing on the light bulbs. Light bulbs?

The power on the boat doesn't even work and you're starting with light bulbs?

Yep, trust me, Captain.

You are going to have to start by washing the windows and all the glass.

Oh, I suppose it's about time to tell you I don't do windows.

I'm on it.

What is it?

The electrical panel's corroded. Which means?

That doohickey that controls that thingamabob needs to be replaced.

Why me?

Where's the part?

Ernesto said it'll take about a month to order from Europe.

A month? I don't have that kind of time.

The other parts are going to take that long as well.

High season?

Isn't there, like, expedited shipping or something?

Expedited?

That's not part of the vocabulary out here in the islands.

There's another way.

Follow me.

Exactly what I'm looking for.

A mango?

What's this, some sort of fruit -based technology?

What's next, citrus circuit breakers?

Grapefruit generators?

I don't see how this gets me back to Miami any faster.

You'll see.

Poor Lylee.

She looks so nice all fixed up and fancy.

She's a yard beauty.

Can't fathom why you'd tell her.

I told you. I'm about to make partner at my graphic design firm.

What?

Well, the pieces are owned. But like you said, it's all about if you want to

trade your freedom or be tied down someplace.

I don't see it that way. I don't think I'll lose any freedom as partner.

What happens when your partner wants to go one direction and you want to go the

other?

A lot like sailing a ship.

Crew can't agree on one direction?

Well, dead in the water.

I'll show you some incredible recipes.

Okay.

That used to be a lovely mural.

And it was ruined by the storm and...

I haven't replaced it yet.

Lorelei's a painter.

No, not really. I'm a graphic designer.

Your uncle showed me your painting.

I'd love for you to do my mural.

Just think about it, please.

Okay.

Also, I wanted to thank you. That cabin kit totally saved my life.

Or at least my phone battery's life. You're so welcome.

Celeste, can I speak to you for a moment? Of course.

I'll see you back on the boat.

With the electronics?

Trust me.

Oh, let me show you how it's done. Ready? Watch this.

Again.

Again.

Excuse me, Rob.

You mean Captain Rob?

Funny, I don't think much of a captain who disappears for hours just to play

cards. It's not like you haven't been playing very well.

Apologies.

You must be Lorelai. I am Ernesto.

Celeste told us all about you.

Have you tried her divine mango pudding?

Absolutely delicious.

Mmm.

Dessert as divine as its creator.

Yes, I couldn't agree more. But we really do need to get back to work,

All right, boss. Just a bit longer.

Lorelai, you've decided to do the mural.

Wonderful. Come in and we'll talk about it.

I will be right back.

And then we are going.

I have a cup of coffee waiting for you.

Here you are.

Thank you, but I still... Are you too busy?

Rob mentioned you were working remotely from the boat.

Actually, the working remotely is going very well.

I feel the inspiration.

We do have plenty of that.

Oh, and I'll give you creative control. Paint anything you want.

It has been a really long time since I've created anything for fun.

No committees, no trademark colors, no partner approvals.

No, I can't. I don't have time.

You might be surprised.

Time on St. Tequila is not concerned with yesterday or consumed by tomorrow,

fully involved with today.

The only real question is if you want to do it or not.

I do. I really do.

To be honest, I don't think I'll be making it back to Miami anytime soon.

I don't know.

Don't be surprised if your repairs go more quickly than you expect.

Rebranding strategies done?

More than you need them or not.

Tracy.

Hi, Lorelai.

Is something wrong?

Did you see the mock -ups Milford and House sent me?

No. I should have been CT'd on those. Can you forward?

Ew.

That's what I said. But listen, that's actually not the only reason that I'm

calling you. I actually came into your office to talk to the designers, and I

couldn't help but overhear the rumors.

What rumors?

That the partners aren't happy about you running off on some tropical vacation.

Subtropical vacation is right. I haven't worked this hard since ever.

Well, they're saying that they're going to give the partnership to somebody

else. Somebody named Jacobo.

You should get back to Miami as soon as you can.

The boat isn't ready.

Why not?

It's a long story. Rob had to order the parts from Europe.

Who's Rob?

He's my captain. I'm a mechanic.

Captain? The salty old sea dog you mean?

No, he's not old or salty.

He's pretty young and actually kind of cute.

Cute? You never say cute.

I said kind of cute.

You never say kind of cute either.

This is fabulous. I haven't heard you express interest in anyone in such a

time. I'm not interested in Rob.

He's totally unfocused and clearly a commitment phobe.

I'll be home before you know it, and I'll never see him again, and I can get

back to totally focusing on my career, which is fine by me.

I've been at sea for two weeks and how glorious it's been.

I've learned so much, but I'm frightened by how much we still have to learn.

At times I doubt my choices, but then I look at Tomas and I have to smile.

Newlywed life is challenging and blissful.

What you doing?

Working.

We have a lot to do.

We'd have less to do if you hadn't spent half of yesterday playing cards.

Okay, I know that look.

I'm saying, Akilah, things aren't always what they seem.

So are you.

Trust me. I'm your captain.

I don't have much choice.

Well, at least I can watch the sunrise.

That sounds really nice.

Which reminds me, I got you a copy.

Give me.

Are

you really going

to sail around the world by yourself?

Why not?

Sure beats corporate finance.

You? Corporate finance? Really?

Wall Street.

Board meetings. Three -piece suit.

Everything. Big alleys.

Surprise.

Well, maybe.

Yeah. You know,

sailing around the world in theory is not the same as reality.

No, thank you.

Reality.

Like what?

Like... Storms. There's gotta be storms, right?

Sleeping under a canopy of endless stars?

Take the food, no takeouts.

Connecting with the wind and the waves?

Getting seasick with sunburns. Waking up in a new place you have never seen

before. Color, sunset, light.

All depends on your definition of... Toledo.

Fresh water for your tank.

How did he... Horse traded a couple favors I was owed.

Get your order to the top of the list.

This horse trading didn't happen over cards, did it?

Also, Celeste told Ernesto about your plight over a second helping of mango

pudding.

And we're getting your electrical panel up in a couple of days.

Are you serious?

Oh, that is incredible.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

All right.

All the glass on board is officially polished, washed, and pristine.

You could eat off of it if we could ever cook anything on this boat.

Now for the bad news.

Your furling jib is tangled around your forestay. I plan to upgrade the system

so your luff wire can double down as your forestay, which should replace the

existing forestay as well as the halyard.

You lost me after bad news.

I'll show you.

I measured the length of the luff wire and got you a pennant.

Now we need to attach the jib, the mat, and the swivel.

I'm sorry, what do you want me to do?

You know...

The big part about sailing is knowing your boat.

And a big part of teamwork is making sure your teammate knows exactly what

you're saying.

Ahoy, Lorelai! Ahoy, Rob! We made a picnic!

Ahoy, Marie!

Ahoy! We'd love you to join us for lunch on the beach.

Of course.

Ah, I better not.

The Lorelai lease still has a lot of work to be done.

And placing rigging on an empty stomach is bad luck.

Okay. Okay.

You're probably right, and everyone deserves a break.

Especially Ernesto.

Why would Ernesto need a break?

He's been working hard, hasn't he?

And I know I love to see him.

And so it's the last.

Oh, right.

Ernesto.

He has been working hard. I think he does need a break.

I'll give him a call.

It's a party!

Let's go, let's go.

I hope you're hungry.

Definitely.

I'm beginning to understand why you left the city. I can only imagine waking up

to this paradise every day.

Seems too good to be true.

Now we manage.

Rob, will you go in the water?

Last one in is a shriveled starfish.

I guess that's what you call the call of the sea.

looking for it. But I think that's it.

Okay, a little to the left.

Okay,

thank you.

Great news.

Parts for the electrical panel have arrived. That is great news.

Just wait. This will make all the difference.

Ready for what?

Come down.

Rob? The boat is beeping.

What?

What?

The engine on the boat isn't running. How are the lights on?

My glass you're polishing.

Solar panels. Needed a little fixing.

Microwave?

Last but not least, we now have ourselves a

radio.

That's wonderful.

I told you she's a beauty.

And with solar power, this baby can get you across the world.

All the comfort to home now.

But she must be like the boat you'd like to get then.

I haven't thought about it.

Why not?

I mean, you certainly take care of her like Uncle Tomas and Aunt Lorelai would

have wanted.

And you seem to like her a lot.

I don't think it's a good idea.

Why not?

We'd make sure all the repairs were done first, of course.

Not that.

Then it's the perfect solution.

I don't think I'm ready.

It's like both.

Oh. Oh, I understand.

Maybe we can work something out.

I got some things I have to do in town.

Okay.

I'm delighted.

No more reading by headlight.

Thank you.

Truly.

There's my artist.

Let me see it. Oh, no, I didn't say it was done. Oh, but it is. I know it is.

Please.

Okay, just for you.

Oh, wonderful.

Oh, I have a friend that can get you everything you need to get started. Just

make a list.

Wow.

Is Ron around?

I haven't seen him. I thought he was with you.

What happened?

I'm not sure.

I asked him if he wanted to buy the Lord Lylee.

He seems to like her so much.

And what did he say?

That he wasn't ready to buy.

I thought maybe we could figure something out, but then he just left

Well, that must be about Charlotte.

Is Charlotte another boat?

Another woman.

His ex -girlfriend.

They came here together to the island on vacation.

Oh, like Uncle Tomas and Aunt Lorelai. Yes, but it didn't work out as planned.

Or not like Uncle Tomas and Aunt Lorelai.

What's Charlotte got to do with buying a boat?

It'd be best for you to ask him yourself.

It'd be good for Rob.

Up already to appreciate the world around you?

I'm a little surprised myself.

You don't have to join me.

No, I would like to, if you don't mind.

Cheers.

Restoration of the Lorelei Lee.

Now it's time to take her for a spin.

Are you sure she's ready?

What if something goes wrong? Maybe we should wait until we've checked

everything.

A boat in a port is safe, and that's not what boats are made for.

Time to hoist the headsail!

Keep pulling.

So, look at that.

Well done.

You make a great first major captain.

You make a great captain for the boss.

Welcome to Bacon Back Bay.

Bacon?

I don't see any big.

It came after an early ship lost a cargo salt fork over the side.

They sent sailors down and they discovered that this is some of the best

life around.

Come on in.

Dive in.

Okay.

Let me just get changed and I'll be right there.

I have never seen so many beautiful fits.

Perfect day for diving.

What did you think about your first time sailing?

I loved it.

Leaning over the edge, watching the bow slice through the waves, hearing the

whoosh of the water against the keel.

Did I just say keel?

That was such a rush.

You'll be a sailor yet.

No. No, not me.

The ocean is beautiful, but I belong on nice, safe, solid ground.

I think there's a part of you that yearns.

Or the freedom of life at sea.

Another life, maybe.

I do love how the ocean tosses around endlessly.

Always changing, minute to minute. Never the same.

Makes you feel small.

Like you're a part of something bigger.

Exactly.

Time to go.

All right.

I'll hoist the head sail.

Leave it down. I want to motor back to the marina.

Motoring a sailboat?

Isn't that cheating?

We have to push the engine through its paces.

Make sure it's running on all cylinders.

Aye, aye, Captain.

What is it?

Well, that's the engine not running on all cylinders.

How many is it running on?

None at the moment.

I was afraid of it.

The engine being as old as a boat.

Oh, actually, no. You know, I read in my Aunt Lorelei's diary that they replaced

the engine when the Lorelei Lee sank.

Sank? Back in the early 90s, it went down in a big hurt.

Ended up at the bottom of the marina.

They weren't hurt, but they lost everything.

What did they do?

Well, my uncle stayed in St. Lucie to recover the boat, and my aunt went back

the mainland.

I see.

Pardon?

I just feel sorry for your uncle.

Why would you feel sorry for your uncle?

Time to hoist the sail. We need to make it back to the marina before dark.

I've got primers.

acrylic paint, tiles, everything on your list. Thank you.

And it looks like I'll have plenty of time.

The engine on the Lorelei Lee broke down yesterday.

I'm so sorry. I know how anxious you are to get back to Miami.

I talked to one of the partners about it. He's not happy.

But if I've learned anything about life on this island, it's that repairs take

the time that they take. No more and no less.

You have something that might make the job a little faster.

I was hoping you might need an assistant.

As a matter of fact, I do.

We'll do one mural at a time. We'll start with a primer and then a grid. You

ready? Ready.

Come on.

Cool. That will be your weapon of choice.

That's looking pretty good over there.

Yep, me too.

Yeah, we might need to resell, huh?

Yeah.

Great news.

I called a guy who called a guy who knows a guy. The parts for your engine

be delivered tomorrow.

It should take about an hour to install.

Ah, thank you. That is great news.

Oh, wait. That means we should be leaving for Miami tomorrow.

I thought I had more time.

I don't know that I can finish this mural.

I definitely can't do the other two.

Bless. I'm so sorry. I had no idea the parts would come in this fast.

I really do need to get back.

Don't worry.

I understand.

You'll just have to come back to finish them when you can.

Of course. I'd love to.

But no, I can't leave you with one unfinished mural.

No, with another set of hands it'll go much faster.

Right, Rob?

Me?

I don't know the first thing about paintings.

This is going to be fun.

I like it. I like it a lot.

Like I said before, I think you have a real talent.

No. No.

It's more like I took a few applied art classes before searching your graphic

design.

But working on this is such a treat.

Especially since it doesn't look like I'll be doing much designing as a

Yeah, you like design.

I do.

But partners at Milford & Howe focus more on finding and retaining clients.

Why can't you have both?

Sure, we'll work it out.

Are you?

Let's just focus on finishing this mural for now.

I know it means a lot to Celeste.

Yeah.

You're natural.

No big deal.

Mess up? You can stay on the island.

Oh, okay. I see.

I see.

That couple there, that's your aunt and uncle.

That's right.

Now the fun part, cleaning up.

At least you look good in blue.

You know what I think?

You look good in pink.

I think yellow is your color, too.

Those aren't designer, are they?

Look at that tan you got.

A little yellow will bring out your eyes.

Seriously. Okay.

I come in peace.

I want to call it truth.

Oh, my goodness.

Lorelai, the mural transforms this space.

I can feel the love of your aunt and uncle.

Thank you.

I knew you knew Uncle Tomas. I didn't realize you know Aunt Lorelai before

separated.

separated. Tomas and Lorelai never separated.

I tried to tell you.

Aunt Lorelai did go back to the mainland, but only to fund the repairs

boat. She came back to Uncle Tomas and the island as soon as she could.

We spent 30 years together on the Lorelai lease.

I don't know what I was thinking about her.

I don't know who I was thinking about, but I just want to say I'm sorry.

That who happened to be named Charlotte?

Came to the island on vacation.

Fell in love with it.

Fell in love with sailing.

We decided to quit our jobs, buy a boat, and sail around the world and

live happily ever after.

What happened?

Charlotte promised a lot of things.

Boat, job.

She promised this to me.

This wasn't the life for her anyways.

I just wish she would have known before.

Because promises.

It's an old promise, you know?

So you decided to golf on your own?

Carry on the plan anyway.

By yourself.

Good. Cover.

Breathe.

Not everyone has the courage to go off on their own and do something new.

I don't know that I could do something like that.

But you could.

Found something you really wanted to.

Never thought about it.

Are you sure this partner thing is something you want? Or is there

there that you'd want more?

To the best chef in the Caribbean, my darling Celeste, I know your cooking

no help from me or anybody else, but these are not just confits.

They are my grandmother's special recipe and a favorite of my family's and the

part of my heart.

I couldn't think of anyone else I'd rather share all three with.

Love, Ernesto.

A party!

A party!

To celebrate you and the mural.

That's a wonderful idea.

Thank you all so much, but we're supposed to leave for Miami tomorrow,

party takes time to plan. No, no, no, nonsense.

We'll have the party tonight and invite the whole neighborhood.

Only perhaps you two, I want to finish cleaning up.

You need yourselves.

The last few days have been horrible.

The heat and humidity are oppressive.

Tomas and I have been arguing with each other for days.

At times like these, the Lorelei Leaf feels like a prison.

But this morning, as I came on deck, the heat broke and the wind picked up.

And Tomas gave me a smile that made my heart remember I'd rather have bad times

with him.

the good times with anybody else.

I know we will stumble and sometimes fall, but we will be there to pick each

other up.

Today, the Laura Lylee feels like what she really is.

Home.

Weren't we all meeting at the cafe?

I thought it would be nice for us to walk over together.

All right.

Lorelai Lee's looking pretty great, isn't she?

Yeah.

Beautiful.

If I could swim off the net, Lorelai would be so happy.

We should get going.

You look lame.

You too.

Together forever on my wall.

You know, they didn't agree on everything, but they always found a way

it out.

It's like they say, rough seas make better seas, and hard times make better

couples.

Nobody said that.

I just did, didn't I?

Oh.

You invited Ernesto.

You were mad at him for trying to change your recipe, and also you.

I was wrong.

Ernesto was trying to share a part of him.

I was too afraid of being hurt to realize it.

What are you doing over here?

Hiding.

Everyone keeps asking me to dance and I don't know the steps.

I can teach you.

You learn how to sail a ship, you can also do this.

Do you know how to help?

No.

It's like rocking a chair.

One step forward.

And one back.

One forward.

You got to look at me.

One step forward.

Get close, get close.

Okay, ready? Yeah.

One step forward.

One step back.

Ooh! Yeah?

It was just having fun and improvising.

May I?

It's a great tribute.

The more I read about Uncle Tomás and Aunt Marla and the boat together, the

sadder I am I can't keep her.

Boat helped them turn their lives into a great adventure.

Great adventure together.

Lorelai Lee.

I know you said you weren't ready to buy a boat, but if you really were

interested in the Lorelai Lee, I'm sure we could figure something out.

I could give you more time.

Would you get a boat loan?

Truth is, I've been able to buy a boat for the past six months. It just

Why not?

There's someone you should probably time it.

She broke up with me.

Blindsided.

Started doubting my judgment.

My decision making.

Have you decided not to make any decisions at all?

If I want meal, I'm going to have dessert with it to the island.

Live with no regrets.

Do you regret leaving your job to come to the islands?

Not for one moment.

Maybe that's a sign you can trust your judgment after all.

Do you know the legend of Lorelai?

She was a siren.

Steered sailors with her beauty and song.

Far off the path they chose to put themselves.

Did they think she was working?

I'm sorry. I should get going.

We have a big day tomorrow.

Yeah. Yeah, we do.

I'll see you in the morning.

Rigged and ready.

For smooth sailing.

And you better do it.

Sailors are superstitious.

What do I do?

Get the branch on board for a safe return to shore.

We'll see a few words to the sea.

Ask for good luck in a safe voyage.

Then, get the champagne bottle.

We'll break it on the bow.

Make sure you hit it hard.

Bad luck if it doesn't break on the first try.

Okay, but you have to help me.

Well, I've never christened a boat before, but here goes nothing.

In the name of Uncle Thomas and Aunt Lorelei, and in the name of all whom

sail aboard, may the wind and the sea favor us in their blessing, today and

always.

Sailors say the pessimist complains about the wind.

The optimist believes it will change, and the realist suggests fail.

Lorelei's commitment to Lorelei Lee has shown me that pessimism is the easy way

out.

To all the Loreleis and the sailors who love them, may the dreams that you hold

dearest be the ones that come true.

All right.

for your trip oh thank you don't forget to write

don't forget to look for treasure and come back soon i've already had so

many compliments about the mural with all three the cafe will be the talk of

tequila i'd love to but i'll have to check with the partners

Thank you.

Safe travels.

Bye.

Bye. Bye.

I told the boat agent that we'd be back in Miami around noon tomorrow. Is that

still right?

Right on schedule.

Great. I can show him the Lord.

quick and run back to my office.

Sure. That's what you really want?

Of course.

I always promised myself I'd run my own farm.

What?

Everything you said about your partner doesn't sound exactly like you'll be

running it.

You'll be more of a pinot.

Like the wine?

A partner in name only?

A peanut.

Yeah, you'll be helping running it.

Not in the way you want to.

Of course there's going to be compromise.

Sure.

Compromise, but who's going to be doing most of the compromise?

It's starting to get dark out. Let's fall in the jib and look for an

Ahoy. I'm sorry I didn't mean to wake you.

I wasn't sleeping.

It's beautiful, isn't it?

I think it's actually been years since I've looked up at the night sky.

Really?

As a kid, looking up at the stars was my favorite thing.

I used to sneak outside after bedtime and pretend I was having a conversation

with an alien girl millions of miles away.

What would you talk about?

Our world.

Our futures.

Dreams.

I'd still do that.

Now you talk about partners, client lists, data reports.

I'd still do that.

Actually, I appreciate what you've been telling me, but what's the alternative?

Start my own firm.

Not a bad idea.

I'd need connections and clients and a workspace.

Better workspace than this.

And living space.

You're not going to find inspiration like this in an office.

You're not wrong.

But I still don't know.

Start.

You looked pretty in that dress last night.

That's my Aunt Lorelai's.

You had that look.

What look?

Piper looked out the stairs, Taylor, far off his horse.

See why your uncle was crazy about his Lorelai.

Well, I should get to bed.

We have a big day at sea tomorrow.

We do.

Good night.

Good night.

Clear skies, wind steady from the south, low humidity, and limited visibility.

About as good as it gets for sailing.

Take the helm.

Me? No.

No, I don't think so. Why not?

This is the open sea.

And? I've only sailed in the bay.

If you never practice, you're never going to learn.

There she goes.

It's much easier to take control of the helm than hoist and trim the sails.

How's that now?

Much better.

Is that the bilge pump? Did the engine overheat? Are we going to sink?

Satellite phone.

It's Grace.

Grace! Oh, no, I'm so sorry. I saw your missed call last night because with

everything going on, I never... I'm Milford and Howe. I had another meeting

the designers.

Is everything okay with the Blue Panda campaign?

Don't worry about that. The Lorelai, they already gave that partnership to

Jacobo. What?

Lynn, you better get back here and fast and take it up with the partners.

That is, if you still want to be partners, Mark.

Of course I still want to be partners.

Well, then hurry.

Is everything okay? You okay?

Ever gave my partnership to someone else, and my probation isn't even up

Do you still want to be partners with a place that would do something like this?

Yes. No, I don't know. But I just have to see Everett as soon as possible and

convince them I'm willing to do whatever it takes.

I should have known.

If you want to get back to Miami faster, you're going to have to let me take the

wheel.

Should have known what?

Whatever it takes.

That's not the model for a rat race. I don't know what is.

Hey, since when is working hard a crime?

While you're working hard and doing whatever it takes.

What about Celeste?

You forgot about your commitment to her already?

Celeste understands.

So make it okay.

Promises like sailing a ship, Lorelai.

You can go on with good intentions, but you need commitment, courage, integrity.

At least I have a ship.

Or a boat.

You know what I mean.

You are still sitting on the dock.

Not because you don't know how to sail, but because you're too afraid to take a

chance. It didn't work out your way once before.

She's a beautiful boat.

Heirloom quality restoration, but also modern and comfortable.

My great -aunt and uncle did all the original renovations, and Rob here did

more recent work.

He's a wonderful captain and mechanic.

This is the boat agent, Mr. Harvey. Mr. Harvey, Rob Alexander.

Excellent work.

You two make quite the team.

I have a few clients looking for a boat just like this. I'm sure we'll have no

trouble finding someone who will love it as much as your aunt and uncle do.

She's an easy boat to love.

No doubt about that.

I have a few things I need to check below, but then we can get started with

list. Thank you. Let me know if you need anything.

You're packed already?

I travel light.

You're welcome to the lawyer if I leave. You need a place to stay?

Yeah, I'm going to be staying with a friend tonight.

Head back to St. Kilda in the morning.

Okay.

Thank you for everything.

You're welcome.

Well, I guess it's goodbye.

Rob?

I know you'll get your vote when it's right for you.

I hope it's soon.

Me too.

Lorelai, you're back early.

Wonderful.

I'm so glad you think so.

Especially since I still have four days of my probation left.

I don't think we need to move on with that.

Do you?

I really think it's what I deserve.

If you insist, but I was ready for you to sign the partnership papers today.

Well, I do insist. In fact, wait.

You're ready for me to sign the partnership papers today?

Absolutely.

Your rebranding strategies were a complete success. We have four client

lined up this afternoon alone.

But what about Jacobo? I heard he moved into the corner office.

We had to shovel some things around as well.

The partnership and the office are all yours.

How did Grace like those new blue panda mock -ups?

We had our best people on them.

Well, they were much better, but still not quite... Wait, how did you know that

Grace was into these mock -ups?

She's a client, isn't she?

Did you make it look like Chococo got the partner just so Grace could tell me

come back to Miami faster?

A little healthy competition never hurt anyone.

Lorelai, we really need to move this along.

You don't want to let those clients down.

Oh, Lorelai, this is perfect.

I suppose you can guess the inspiration.

You miss the Lorelai Lee already?

I mean, after being rocked to sleep every night, the thought of spending a

on Joyland sounds rather dull.

They were idiots not to offer you the partnership.

Actually, they did.

What?

That Jacobo moving into the corner office thing was just a ruse to get me

to Miami faster.

Well, that's just manipulative, sneaky, rat -like.

Yeah. That's exactly what I told Everett when I, uh, turned the partnership

down. And quit.

Wow.

What are you going to do now? Look for another firm?

I don't know.

Any other firm is just going to pigeonhole me the same way.

I love meeting with clients, and I...

Even love rebranding campaigns.

But I love the creative stuff too.

I guess I just want to do it all.

Lorelai, are you thinking about setting up your own firm?

I've always promised myself I'd run my own firm one day.

But what was it like leaving your last job, starting your new company?

Terrifying. And nerve -wracking.

And totally worth it.

And I don't even have a boat.

What's the Lorelei Lee got to do with it?

Come on, imagine.

Waking up, the ocean breeze tickling your face, then diving into the sea for

your lunch break, and at the end of the day, fishing for your supper.

Have you met me?

We could take summers on the Caribbean.

We could take a mooring on St. Tequila.

We could visit Celeste and Marie whenever we wanted.

We?

Uh, me and the Lorelei Lee.

And also Rob.

There it is.

Is Rob still the same wife?

He's afraid to leave the dock.

Huh?

He went back to Pink Kila days ago. It kind of tells me everything I need to

know.

Sorry, Lorelei.

It's okay. I still love you and the Lorelei Lee.

So are you gonna keep her?

Someone said this boat is for sale.

Sorry, no.

I decided to keep her.

Rob, I thought you went back to St. Tequila days ago.

I was going to, but I decided to keep the Lorelei Lee.

Made you change your mind.

Welcome to my new home office.

I always promised myself I'd run my own firm, and here it is.

Brentano Designs.

That's great.

It's really great.

Of course, now I'll really have to learn how to sail.

I did promise the last two murals, after all.

Sorry what I said about the promises, the integrity, and the courage.

It's okay.

You weren't wrong.

But what made you change your mind about going back to St. Aquila?

What you told me about sitting on the dock.

Sorry, I shouldn't have.

No, you weren't wrong about that.

There was something else you were right about.

What?

Me leaving corporate finance.

Me being able to trust my own judgment.

I spent nothing but the past few days looking for a boat.

That's wonderful.

Oh, is that why you came back here?

To buy the Laura Lylee?

I'm so sorry, Rob. I couldn't part with her, not now.

But I know you'll find one that you love just as much.

Past few days, I've done nothing but look for a boat.

Old ones, new ones, big ones, small ones.

Even one to use the exact same model as this.

I've come to realize that they're all missing the most important thing.

What?
