you

Please, just try one.

Nope. All my regulars love the hazelnuts. When our venture capital firm

in your small business and we turned you into Seattle's favorite chip, I got the

deciding vote on the board.

This chart here, this is all that matters.

Not regulars.

You might like hazelnuts, but maybe they're not for everybody.

I know how important this is to you.

And I know you built this company off your mother Millie's amazing recipes.

But we can't do hazelnut.

Chocolate chip production doubles.

You can't bet the fun. I just wanted something warm and fuzzy for this time

year. And our goal is just to sell more of your delicious cookies.

Your regulars, they're like family, aren't they?

They are.

Well, maybe they'll like some coffee.

Howard, you bring me back those holiday lattes you've been fighting me on, and

I'll let you have those hazelnut cookies.

For a limited basis.

Do we have a deal?

Have a good day.

Good morning, Sandra.

How are the cookies?

They're great. And we have new flavors.

Chocolate and peanut butter, limited hazelnut, and I got those lattes back.

ones with all the sugar and colors everyone loves?

Those are the ones.

Nice. I'm getting three tomorrow.

You and the rest of Seattle.

All righty, Sam. What exciting things have been going on?

So there's an antique magazine and digest store on Fifth that wants to

every TV guide from 1959 on. Pass. Everything is online now.

John Lee has a new concept shoe, so it'll blow everything in the city out of

water with the full release store -wide.

Is it?

Yeah, it's cool. It's not revolutionary, but it could move a needle.

Good work.

Rain or Shine Galleries wants feed money to add promotional VR displays at all

its locations.

That is a good idea.

Got me a meeting tomorrow. I want to see a model. Done.

And we've got another call from Maximilian Stolz.

He wants you to invest in a company he just acquired and remind you again that

he bought it.

And if I can remind you, he's also very handsome and charming and European.

And according to my forecast, he might be interested in more than VC with you.

He'll never give up. So I'll put him down as a maybe.

I am too busy to date right now.

You

are

strong.

You are independent.

You are intelligent.

This firm needs someone like you to be partner.

My returns are top among my colleagues.

My investment forecast has steadily been in the 95th percentile, keeping our

clients wealthy and profiting.

Now, my latest venture, Sweets by Millie, has shown stellar growth and

performance that will carry right through the holidays and well into Q1 of

year. It is going to be an excellent building block for all of our

Thank you.

Jillian, your work continues to impress this board.

Great ROI, manage big accounts with aplomb, and keep our investors happy.

We're aware you live for this company. You're an excellent principal.

Thank you.

But you have zero startup experience.

That's what our investors are looking for today.

You never build something from nothing, from the ground up. I wouldn't say that.

I mean, if you look at my portfolio, there's a lot of... Let's just look at

Sweets by Millie. It was a small company, ready for expansion, and you

from an existing five stores to 18 in the city.

You have a whole portfolio of those.

We can't consider you for partner with our startups, Jillian.

I'm sorry.

Thank you. Are you okay?

You ever built anything?

Of course I have built things. I have built the greatest portfolio they have

ever seen. That's true. I live for this company.

I never take vacations. That's also true. I've never gotten one either.

My metrics are pristine.

Numbers, immaculate.

Every client I sign increases their model. Each decision I make is to raise

profits.

I am the best. Perfect employee.

Maybe you should take a vacation, Jillian.

Sometimes, you know, you need to stop the work to see the right path.

One of those working vacations. I can get a lot done.

Come back super focused on laser.

Sure. Yeah, no, that could work. That's great. That's good.

It's up to me that you swipe my card.

I... I pay? Uh -huh.

Okay, that checks out.

Sam, I thought about what you said.

Made some good points. Yeah.

But only way is to double down.

The only way onward is upward. Absolutely.

Um, hey, do you know of Bob McCarthy?

No.

Oh, wait.

Robert McCarthy?

He passed away.

Oh.

He was, um... He was my uncle.

I barely remember him from when I was a little girl.

He, uh... He was very quirky.

Centric.

Made a lot of money, and then he just disappeared.

But he left you his resort home.

What?

Cabin.

The mountains.

I have to go to the service in town to claim it.

Yeah, fine.

I barely knew him, and I am way too busy.

Okay.

Pass it here, Sam. I'll call the attorney.

Hello? Hi, this is Jill.

Okay.

your package.

I have to say, I barely knew him, and the timing is very bad for me.

Package? You can handle the specifics, right? It's just really bad time for me,

and I need to delegate.

Listen,

I think you have the wrong... You clearly know the specifics better than

Fine. I will give you full power of attorney.

Well, we charge a substantial fee for that at our firm. Of course you do. How

substantial?

Forty percent.

Forty percent?

We're... Very exclusive and powerful.

That is extortion.

Are you laughing at me?

No, no, not at all.

Anyway, we have an opening in our calendar in three months.

Should I pencil you in?

Three months?

No! Okay, well, I guess we'll just have to reach out to reschedule.

Don't call us. We'll call you.

I'm going up there to sell that cabin as quickly as possible. And then I will

get right back into changing the board's mind.

Good plan.

It all starts with taking more risks.

Sam, get Max Stoltz on the line.

Oh, we're attacking.

And I've told you where my money is tied to, exactly.

And yet I still have a few questions.

Okay. My funds originate from an Eastern European family, a lineage of which

gets a little hazy around the turn of the century. But essentially, you are

sitting across from an emperor or a prince.

Or a sultan.

Exactly.

Anyways, the inheritance was just a start.

It seems like it's invested very smartly in various holdings and start -ups.

It's all out in the open, public markets.

Right. And tell me about this new investment opportunity.

The brand new company built from the ground up.

Something I think you would love sinking your teeth into.

And I think you'd be great.

I think we'd be great as well.

Professionally.

Well, maybe.

Maybe is all I need.

Cheers.

Hey, Sam, I just got to Vermont.

I'm looking for Aunt Marjorie's diner. Thanks. Bye.

But the whole menu's waffles.

Hello there.

You must be Jillian. Oh, I'm your Aunt Marjorie. Oh,

boy, I am so happy you came.

Welcome to the party for Robert. Oh, come, come. Hey, I am so, so sorry about

your loss, Aunt Marjorie. Thank you, dear.

He was a great, wonderful man.

He would have been so happy you came.

So, this place is yours, huh?

Yes, it is, I'm proud to say.

Best meatballs in town.

And I make a mean hot toddy, too.

Well, come on. Let me introduce you to the rest of the brood. Oh, come here.

It's like amazing.

This is Liam.

Liam. Nice to meet you. Hi.

No, this is Liam.

He's the character for Robert's Cabin Property.

We are so lucky to have him.

Nice to meet you.

Jillian.

Jillian. Jill.

Jillian.

Well, here, let me introduce you to our boy, Sebastian Robertson, my son.

Everyone calls him Stebby.

What's good?

Hey, Jillian.

Oh, no way, you're my cousin. All right.

And this is Uncle Walrus.

Excited to meet you.

I'm sorry, did she say Walrus?

But the grandchildren couldn't pronounce his name.

And he looks like a walrus, so it just stuck.

I'll be right back.

Don't pay any attention to him. We're surprised he even showed up.

To Robert!

Hip hip!

Hooray! Hip hip! Hooray!

Hip hip! Hooray!

You know, I have to say, this is the most fun one of these I have ever been

Robert was fun -loving and carpe diem every moment of his life.

He wanted a celebration with friends and family when he passed, and it's our

pleasure to accommodate and to welcome you as well.

Now, I know you can't wait to see the cabin, and I'm happy to take you up

but first, you have to try some of my famous meatballs.

No, it doesn't really stick down near the diner, but up here near the lake and

the summit, oh, it's just marvelous.

It's all white and fluff.

Of course, we haven't gotten our good snowfall yet.

Yeah, most of this will be gone by tomorrow.

You know, you guys, you really didn't have to drive me up here.

Oh, nonsense.

Liam drives me everywhere, just in case I get in the mood for a hot toddy.

You're looking great, Aunt Marge. Love the new doily here.

Brakes are still a bit wonky, though. Oh, don't pay attention to him.

Seeing all this makes me so happy. After all this time?

Every time.

Well, this is it.

Robert was always working on projects with Liam.

The fireplace was their latest masterpiece.

Now, Seve and I have our own cottage up the way, along with a diner that I

manage, of course.

I'm impressed.

Yeah.

It's full of memories, just the way Robert liked it, which is mostly due to

care and preservation of Liam.

Who, by the way, is a co -owner along with you, according to Robert's wishes.

That's so.

Now, I have to tell you, Robert and I lived many places.

We lived in London, New York.

But this is the place he always called home. Oh, he loved it here the most.

Anyway, I just wanted to show it to you.

Now, your room is upstairs and everything is all ready for you.

And tomorrow, Liam can take you and show you the rest of the property, all the

ins and outs and ways to fall in love with it, just the way we did.

All right.

You have a good night, sweetheart.

Thank you.

So, yeah, I'll be back in the morning to give you the full tour and go over the

plans. Hey, what about my car?

We'll get that to you.

Don't worry about it.

All right? Just enjoy yourself.

Everyone's really nice.

And then they showed me up to the property.

Fantastic. And the new family?

They're so helpful.

Accommodating, you know?

Polite and happy.

Yeah, it's unusual.

Genuine is a good thing, right?

And the others?

Just some guy.

Takes care of the cabin.

Co -owner, apparently.

Don't worry, I will get it sorted out.

He sounds burly.

Sam, it is not like that.

Now you. Any news?

Uh, yes. They're building the model for the gallery. We're sending over the

samples. Nothing new on the partner front.

And you got another check -in call from Max.

Said he had a great night the other night.

Thank you, Sam.

Okay, I have a meeting with a lawyer tomorrow and a scheduled walkthrough of

cabin with Liam.

Liam?

Is he like a lumberjack?

Goodnight, Sam.

Do we have to do this at dawn?

Rise and shine.

I hope you're good at making coffee.

All the appliances were replaced within the last two, three years.

We watered the plants three times a week, cleaned twice.

Oh, over here we got an entrance to the back deck.

Beautiful, right?

Yeah.

We have a landscaping service. Come in once a week in the summer months.

Take care of the lawn.

And, you know, we can talk to them if we want to make any changes.

Want to go out?

No, thanks. I'm a bit cold.

This?

Grisky worse.

Come on.

I'm good.

You sure?

Mm -hmm.

All right.

Paperwork came in. Should be finalized in about a week.

Sorry to hear about your dad passing, by the way.

Used to really like seeing him when he visited.

Shame he and Robert couldn't work things out.

Thanks.

So, uh, what do you do for work?

I am a venture capitalist.

Ah.

And you're a big fan of delegating?

Excuse me?

Look, if you're not willing to pay the standard 40 % for power of attorney, you

might just have to find another firm.

That was you on the phone?

I knew it. Nothing about that was standard.

Well, you know what they say.

You get what you pay for.

Venture capitalism 101.

And of course, you've seen the master bedroom.

Yeah.

Met my roommates.

It's not ready at all.

Whatever.

So? Well, it's livable, but it is not presentable.

Now, this place is going to need quite a lot of cleaning up before we show.

Showing what?

If we're going to sell it, it needs some work.

Wait, wait, wait.

Why in the world would we sell it? It's too much.

And it is light years away from my life and job.

This is not a wee decision.

Yes, it is.

I own this, too. Yeah.

About that.

I spoke to the lawyer about the paperwork.

Turns out you're the minority owner.

Yeah.

40 %?

60%. So I am the majority decision maker.

I don't care what the paperwork says.

I'm not a felon. You do stand to make a considerable amount.

This cabin would make an amazing bed and breakfast.

That's what we should do with it. Absolutely not.

Now, if you'll excuse me, this place needs some work. If we are going to move

it.

Come on, Mr. Investor. Take this place up.

Want some help?

Actually, yeah.

Great. I've got some excellent ideas that'll make this place seem more

to our visitors.

I do not know what you're fussing over.

I just don't think a hotel is realistic.

First of all, I'm not fussing.

Secondly, it's not a hotel.

It's a B &B.

An experience.

All right? And it's not just about any cabin.

This is Roberts, and it's what he would have wanted.

This cabin is being sold.

Now, if you want to help me find the right owner, I could use a hand.

Fine.

But preferably not someone who just wants to turn into a parking lot. All

Vacation home acquisitions have gone up 24 % in the last 18 months. And winter

cabins in particular have more than doubled.

Why are these mountains the best? Why not go a bit east?

Oh, well, um... Um...

The snowfall is a steady... Um...

They're skiing.

12 % more owners have sold their warm weather condos recently than resort

cabins. Well, I wouldn't sell.

No? No.

I want it bulldozed. This is a great stretch for the private airport and

I want to build.

And with the next two over and the land I flatten, it'll be perfect.

Awesome. Good idea.

But, unfortunately,

the previous owner entered into a land conservation agreement with the county.

And, I mean, you could buy out, but we're talking...

An extra 200 % on the purchase price.

Thanks. Yeah, sorry.

I've read all the paperwork.

I can't remember anything about that.

Hmm?

Is that true?

No.

But it sounded better than ancient burial ground.

Wait!

My budget is just slightly under your act.

I'm sorry.

Well... Tell us, what are your plans with the place? Actually, I'd love to

this into a B &B.

Oh, really?

Yeah, and I'd be looking for a manager to run it.

Well, let me tell you, the area is great. No, thank you.

We're not interested.

Not one offer.

I need a vacation.

Come on.

I have a better idea.

All right, here you go.

Coffee?

Yeah.

This isn't coffee.

Well, not just coffee.

I have to tell you, the day was hilarious.

You were like a vegan trying to sell a rack of lamb.

Like you would have any clue how to turn this into a business.

You know, you are the epitome of everything wrong in the finance world.

charm is just an act to swindle good people.

Okay, so tell me this. How is making money off of Robert's cabin honoring his

memory? Yeah, you're real good people. Making money is the last reason I'm

to turn this into a B &B.

I see why you have no business doing this. I have no idea what Robert was

thinking leaving this place to you. Neither do I.

What makes you so sure about Robert's wishes?

I knew your uncle well.

Better than most.

I'm sure.

Sam, tell me you have another buyer lined up.

Um, no, unfortunately.

But I do have word from the board.

Okay. We do want you for the position, but they can't wait forever.

They're going to give the partner promotion to another candidate.

No.

No.

Okay.

You tell them.

I have a startup that I'm getting off the ground.

Oh, it's big.

It is going to blow their mind.

Tell them I can have it ready in...

Two weeks.

Will that work?

I can make that work. I will tell the board to expect something, but thanks,

Jillian.

You're a lifesaver, Sam.

Okay. No, no.

Just hear me out. Go away. Hear me out. No.

This is a disaster.

This won't work.

This is not a disaster.

I'm not doing this with you. Look, as impossible as you are, you know the

mountain.

You know the cabin.

Come on, Liam. You had the idea.

And... I'm in a bind.

I am. I am in a bind.

Listen.

This right here won't work. This is the only way you get to keep the cabin.

And we can both honor Robert's legacy.

I'll think it over.

I'll think it over!

That's my line.

I am going to need a list of potential investors in the area, plus complete

backgrounds. Ad agencies with reach, staffing services, potentially a

guide. We could be killing two birds with one stone.

He hasn't technically said yes yet.

He is insufferable. But, I mean, it's not a bad plan with me in charge.

Man, he is not doing himself any favors.

Sounds like you got out -negotiated.

Thank you, Sam. That's all.

Good night.

Aunt Marjorie!

Working together.

Yeah, me.

Wait, how do you know?

I hear everything.

Just one of the things Robert loved about me.

Hey, Aunt Marjorie, can you tell me what actually happened between my dad and

Uncle Robert?

They went into business together, had a disagreement and had a falling out. When

was that? Like, I just, I don't remember my dad ever talking about it.

It was a long time ago.

Robert and your father just didn't see eye to eye on things.

Come on, let me get you some more coffee.

Okay, I'm in.

But I get decision -making power, just like you.

Fine.

50%. 49.

Fine. But equal creative control, purchasing autonomy, and authorized

license whenever it comes to that.

Oh, pending my approval.

Down the line or I'm out. The rest you can have for your 51.

Okay.

But we need to get startup capital first.

We're of the same mind there. And I need to be made an expert in mountain

resource ASAP.

I'm talking mountain biking, hiking, fishing, sockeye.

Deal. Deal.

Where are you going?

What? I want to hear your business plan.

My business plan? Mm -hmm.

I'll tell you my business plan.

It's simple.

Two or eight people fall in love with this place.

The cabin, the mountain.

offer them an escape on their fast -paced lives, to inspire them to slow

and take in the beauty and serenity that surrounds them, to find their center,

so that they can enjoy all this place has to offer.

That is not a business plan.

No, you need numbers, raw data, graphs, evidence to prove your strategy.

And that is not how you inspire people.

This weather is absurd.

It's too hot to exercise in all this gear. It is too cold not to wear it. I

mean, what am I supposed to do?

The crisp air is a big part of why people love it here.

It takes your soul out of the city.

You get used to it and try to keep up.

Oh, come on. Do we really have to go straight uphill?

It is a mountain.

Look around.

First thing you have to learn, this is what you're selling.

It's beauty.

It's serenity.

It's connection to nature, to the world.

If there's emotion, people want that.

That's why they'll come.

There are three major investors in the area.

We focus on them.

Is there any room for discussion with you?

Mm -mm.

Not when it comes to this.

I'm so excited about this.

Your turn.

What are your renovation plans?

This place needs work.

Okay.

Come on.

I want to refocus at the core over here and at an outdoor fire pit over there.

Why? So people can freeze outside?

And be warmed by the fire.

It's charming.

I'll make a spreadsheet to explain.

I think just a new quilt in here and we're good.

Are you kidding?

No, no, no. We need a new bedspread, all new furniture, table lights for sure.

I'll decorate this room.

That's the problem with it.

Well, this has been modernized.

Sleek fixtures, it's contemporary, stylish.

It's a place you'd look forward to coming home. Maybe we could do something

make it a little more homey and cozy, though. You know, where you feel like

could find a stray sugar packet in a drawer.

Why would anyone want to find a...

Think about Uncle Robert.

You're better than sugar.

Yeah, whatever.

And lastly, the entry hall.

Robert and I always meant to finish this, but never got around to it.

We're starting here.

Two of the three of our whale investors, they come from a marketing background.

How this all looks on the travel website is the most important thing.

First impressions count.

And we need something big, beautiful, a centerpiece.

And ours.

So we're going to finish the fireplace you and Robert started.

It's going to enliven the whole entry space.

We agree?

Finally.

A good idea.

Agreed.

We'll need materials.

Why don't you go see Uncle Walrus?

He should be able to help us with that. I barely met the guy.

Aren't you going to come with me?

I have other work to do.

But you'll figure it out.

After all, you're enterprising.

He doesn't even know what it means.

Liam called ahead.

All your remodeling materials are packed up.

Thank you.

Do you make these?

Yep.

Awesome.

I like this.

You are a very talented woodmaker.

Oh, my gosh.

This is almost exactly what was in my mind for on top of the fireplace.

Uncle Robert would have loved this.

Okay.

It's yours.

What?

Really?

Thank you. It's going to look amazing.

Hey, that was fun the other night at the diner.

I'd say Robert would have loved it.

You know, I heard you almost weren't gonna go.

Well, I'm glad you did.

You always, uh, like working with your hands?

Yeah, as long as I can remember.

Right.

Well, I'd better get going.

Thank you.

Talk to you later.

Jillian. Wakey, wakey.

Jillian.

Liam, what are you doing in here?

Coming downstairs.

You have to see something.

What? Come on. Get up.

I didn't peg you at the mouth breather, by the way.

Really cute.

Get out.

Oh, yeah.

Check it out.

The first big snow of the season.

Not bad, right?

Not bad.

Hi, this is Jillian McCarthy from Venture First.

Yeah, yeah, we are based in Seattle.

Of course, I like the Sounders.

Are they going to make the playoffs? Of course they'll make the playoffs. Their

coach is unstoppable.

Hey, look, the reason I'm calling you is to tell you of an exciting new business

venture that Venture First has.

And, well...

If anybody knows our reputation, it's you.

Can I send you some figures?

Perfect.

Okay, thanks so much.

I'll talk to you soon.

Big deal.

Oh, you want to give it a go, hey, Mr. Peanut?

Simple.

Watch and learn.

Hello, this is Liam Shaw.

From our firm's research team, I understand you're an investor in the

Great, great. How's your week going?

Oh, spectacular.

That's wonderful.

Anyway, the reason I'm calling is we have an exciting new opportunity for

investors.

No, no, I don't have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell. No, I don't. We

a B &B looking for funding.

Well, B &Bs are great. You know, you can take your wife, sit by the fire.

You don't.

Well, you could go solo.

You know, get that me time.

Okay. Good day. You know, if you change your mind, don't...

Should I write them down as a maybe?

Yeah, we don't want to rule anybody out.

Wow, this looks great.

Robert will be proud.

You felt me well.

Just needed a quilt, huh?

Keeper.

It'll look great online.

Earth depression.

Mayor, you should probably get a selfie.

Yeah, I don't do selfies.

Maybe Sebi?

Oh, so you do smile.

That was where you didn't know how.

Go figure.

Hey, Lynn!

I admit, you got me a couple times, but I got you a couple times, too.

No, you did not. Oh, are you seriously not going to admit it? Not what? Thank

you, Aunt Marjorie. Oh, of course, dears. Here you go.

Thank you.

Enjoy.

Okay, I admit it. You did get me.

Just once.

With the tiniest little snowflake.

I show you have little pieces.

Was that dirt? Were you throwing dirt at me?

No.

Uncle Robert.

Was he a close friend?

Something like that.

But more importantly, he was warm and loving.

And he, uh... He treated me like a son.

Took me into his family.

Everyone who knew him loved him.

You know, it's funny. I actually do remember the last time I saw him. It was

long time ago.

I was doing my homework, and he was trying to make me laugh and not be so

stressed.

Just about a second -grade spelling bee.

You know what he said? He said to me, Oh, don't worry about it. You'll never

have to use the word lentil.

Yeah, I haven't thought about that since that day.

Hey, Sam, what's up?

What?

Wait, what?

Max, when?

Okay.

Okay.

Um, we are going to have to be. Thanks, Sam. Bye.

My assistant made a call to an old investor friend.

I don't know why I didn't think about him.

He has a ton of seed money, and he's interested in investing.

Are you serious?

That's great.

It is.

Except he's coming to town in three days. Three days?

Can we be ready?

We are going to have to be.

Right?

Right.

Let's do it.

Uncle Robert paid my tuition?

What you got there?

Oh, um, nothing. Just, just finding things.

Surprised.

I, a lot lately.

It's usually a good thing.

It is.

Jillian. Max. So, so good to see you.

Brilliant.

How are you? Really good. Good.

Hi, Liam. Oh.

Maximilian, what are you doing?

Oh, sorry. I thought we were doing all your... It's okay. Oh, good to meet you.

Likewise. Ah, Jillian.

So? Shall we?

Wow, yes. Come on in.

After you.

So, yeah.

Hiking, mountain biking, fishing, all within walking distance. Great trailhead

right over here.

You can actually take about a... And this is the living room.

We have art supplied by a local artist, Joshua Jenkins.

His work is right through the property.

Very nice.

This is a wonderful open space.

Gorgeous for the afternoon sun.

And how about this kitchen, Max?

It's so open for entertaining.

We had all new state -of -the -art appliances put in.

This is the master bedroom with the highest ceilings in the area. As you can

see, investing in this wonderful, luxurious mountain being, it doesn't

financial sense.

As I know, return on investment is important to you. But it's about the

experience of being in the mountains, in the wilderness, where the air is

soulful. The fishing is meditative.

It's somewhere that you'll want to come and enjoy yourself every once in a

while, not just your customers.

With Liam and I at the helm, you will be very happy with your investment here in

each and every cent.

Brilliant.

Brilliant. You're brilliant.

Well, thank you, Max Bird.

I'm thrilled you like it. I do.

I do.

You know, I think we should do a thought opening. Just to make sure the business

plan works before I sign my life away.

It'd have to be this weekend.

Sure.

Great.

I'll see you then.

Okay. Why not?

You're great.

Thanks. Liam.

And shake up to you.

Yeah. Sorry about that. It's okay. You can get to work.

Will do.

Thanks, Mac.

We nailed it!

He definitely seems very, very interested.

Except we're not exactly ready for a soft open. I mean, everything is just a

plan.

We'll need help.

And also, these walls look a bit barren for a B &B trying to maximize its ROI

with high -end clientele.

Don't you think?

Yeah. Yeah, I agree.

Don't worry, I will go online and look for art dealers.

You know what? You should also talk to Uncle Walrus.

He may have some stuff lying around.

Is there any thought, ma 'am?

Tough nut to crack.

What, you mean Chatterbox Walrus?

Yeah, that guy. I realized a long time ago I had no shot of getting in good

him. Oh, so I have to go for supplies.

Thanks a lot.

Look, man, the only thing I've ever gotten out of him is that he fishes on

Saturday mornings.

You know, come to think of it, Robert's really the only one that knew how to

crack that exterior.

Do you know how he had such a good way with him?

Wish I did.

Hey, Aunt Marge.

Hey, Mark. Oh, Liam, hi.

So guess what?

The investor liked our pitch.

Oh, I knew he would.

But he wants to do a soft open to approve the plan. Yeah? This weekend.

Oh. And we need some help, so I was wondering if you're possibly available.

course. Did you have to even come in here and ask me?

No, I guess not.

Listen, you and Julian have been spending a lot of time together.

Um.

You two make a good team.

Stop it. We're just getting the cabin ready, that's all.

Oh, yeah?

And is this any of your business anyway?

Yes, it is always my business. You know that.

Of course it is.

It's not?

Hi, Uncle Walrus.

We're doing a soft open for the B &B, and I know that you have already given

materials. But we could really use your help.

Please.

Just tell me where you want me.

Thank you very much.

Another thing, just that... Well, you see, Liam said you might have some

art.

Follow me.

Uncle Walrus.

These are wonderful.

You are something else.

That's my hobby.

People should see these.

We can showcase them in the B &B.

If you want, I could pull a few strings.

You all right?

Yeah.

Uncle Robert and my dad could have patched things up.

Well, they did.

Frank came back after a few years.

That was taken about a year before your dad passed.

Even though they never talked about it, I think they patched things up on that

trip.

Robert used to talk about him all the time.

Near the end.

Once they reconnected, I think, you know, all that bad blood from before

kind of went away.

I've never seen this picture. Can I take a picture?

Yeah. Thank you.

No way.

Liam would love this.

We just have to get some paint and some of the supplies.

Should be able to get done in about three stops.

Hey, do you think you'd be able to handle that yourself?

I've, um... I've got something I need to do.

Sure. Perfect.

Oh, drop me off over here.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Mind if I join?

Did I get something?

No.

Your dad and Robert loved coming out here.

They'd be happy to know you're here.

Thanks for picking me up.

You catch any fish?

Not a one.

Get what you want?

Yeah, maybe.

Good thing it wasn't fish.

So how'd you end up here?

Actually, I went to business school, same as you.

Wound too tight. Excuse me?

You're saying I'm wound too tight?

No,

I was.

You know, too much ambition, not enough patience.

Yeah, I get that.

Drove away pretty much everyone I loved.

And then I met Robert.

By far the most successful man I'd ever met, and yet he barely talked about it.

Didn't wear it at all.

Everything was more important than the work to him.

He saw a lot in you.

I think that's why he left you part of the cabin.

You too.

My parents had passed away, lost my job.

Honestly, I had no idea where my life was heading.

Robert took me under his wing.

Working with him helped me through a lot.

He changed my life.

Thanks again for getting me.

Happy to.

I figured any longer and the fish might start catching you.

I always love the snow up here.

It's pretty.

I'm starting to.

Welcome. Come in.

So nice to see you.

Very happy to have you. Delighted to be here.

I'm not going to fall for that.

Come on in.

And this is our wonderful chef, Marjorie. She has prepared you the most

delicious breakfast.

Are you hungry?

I, well...

Actually, you'd better be, because this is Aunt Marjorie's famous omelette.

Enjoy.

Wow.

Thank you.

Aw. Thank you, Aunt Marjorie.

What's up?

I'm Seve.

Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you.

All right.

So, I'll be your little tour guide today, per se.

Got one of two options. Number one, got some freshly waxed twin tips.

If you want to go hop on a Gandhi, maybe hit some pow pow, you go do that. Or

number two, you go hit a hike, you know, very tranquil, watch a sunset, you

know, reset our chakras.

Oh, start with a hike.

All right.

All right. Ginny, would you like to join?

Oh,

um.

Oh, come on. A little more cousin bonding. Let's go.

Sure. Yeah. Lead the way, Steffi.

Let's do it. Sebi.

Fun.

Here you go, sweetie.

Tea.

That's not tea.

My specialty.

Jillian. Hey, so they have just finished the bunny slope, and Sebi is taking him

up the mountain to enjoy the sunset to cap the day.

But he just texted me.

Yeah.

He already loved the property. The experience was even better. The food, he

said, was like nothing else.

He was incredibly impressed and wants to close the deal later today.

We are in business.

We have our B &B. Oh, my God.

Great job.

Oh, my gosh, Aunt Marge.

Thank you so much.

Thank you for your help. You are welcome.

Uncle Walrus. Hi.

Well, as promised.

Thank you. Oh, whoa.

Liam's going to love this.

Here you go.

Hello. Max!

Hey!

How are you?

What's going on?

Well, I figured we could celebrate.

Finally, going into business together with a little bubby.

I knew.

It's that dinner.

You and I, we belong together.

So come with me tonight.

We'll celebrate you and I and this new joint venture together.

Jill?

Liam?

I, uh... I'll just...

I'll

leave you both to it, then.

I probably want to put those in some water.

Okay, yes, we'll absolutely speak soon.

Thank you, Max.

I appreciate you stopping by.

Bye. Goodbye.

Thank you, and good night.

Good night.

Hey, Julie, I have some great news. Yeah?

So, I just heard from the partners, and the board has seen what you've done. And

when they heard about Max... Max? Yeah, they thought it was a brilliant idea to

bring him in to invest.

You know, partners want to acquire 80 % of his share. Max loves the idea.

So, Venture First will acquire the B &B, and you'll get the promotion.

Oh, no.

Selling to Venture First means the family will get edged out.

lose control of the business.

We don't have to worry about that right now anyway, because you're partnered.

So, congratulations!

William?

Cheers. You are marvelous, Seve. Aw, thanks, Mom. You know, that hike was

rad. And Julian, you know, somewhat of a bomber. Just passed all the Jerrys and

Gapers. Surprisingly aerodynamic.

Must run in the family. Oh, look, you're all fantastic.

We cannot thank you enough.

Rob would be so proud.

Hey.

Liam. Are you okay?

Yeah. Are you sure?

I mean, the other night with Max, that was... What are you going to tell me?

Nothing was going on there. I found the contract.

You know, the contract to acquire Airbnb from your company?

Oh, no.

Lucky. What are we going to tell any of us? I mean, we're over here celebrating

like a bunch of idiots. Liam, I didn't know. I just found out. I don't buy that

for one second.

Someone with your business acumen knows everything they have to deal with from

start to finish. No, you planned this all along. You never intended to save

cabin. No, you were just aiming for the highest price.

That is not true. It's not? No, it's not.

What did you get for it, huh?

What did you get? I got that finder's fee?

Or is it just some scheme to get ahead? What would you know about any of that?

You never take a risk. This isn't about me. No, yes, it is. You never take a

risk. You're always safer on the sidelines. That's right.

And you know what?

I'll break the news to the family.

Don't you worry.

You've done enough.

Look, I just wanted to say that... I know.

It's fine.

Well, at least let me explain.

Liam.

Jillian. No, I mean, they had just sent that over.

You did what you do.

It's unfair of me to expect differently.

It's not the way Robert would have done things.

Hope you get what you want.

Hey, Sam.

Yeah, I'm going to need you to book me a flight back to Seattle.

Today.

Thank you.

Hey, Mosh. Hi there.

How are you?

I'm good.

Need some help?

Sure.

You know, honey,

when your parents died, Robert and I knew exactly what you were going

through. Your father had sacrificed everything for you to succeed.

So you felt you just had to succeed, and you worked so hard to make that happen.

And when Robert saw it, he tried to ease that in you, to relax, to make you see

past it.

He wanted you using your talents, but safely and with balance.

That was Robert's plan all along.

That also means going after what you love.

You can't hide out forever, Liam.

Yeah, well, I, uh... I think that ship's already sailed out, Marge.

I'm not so sure about that.

Hey, Uncle Walrus.

Just wanted to get your tools back to you.

Where do you want them?

You just set them by the door.

Hey, why don't you give me a little help here?

Sure. I can help you out for a few minutes.

There you go. Why don't you take that big boy wrench and tighten that up for

You got the hoses?

Putting this darn thing back on.

All right.

Now that one's already tight.

All right.

You heard from Julian?

No.

She's probably busy planning her next hostile takeover.

I don't know about all that, but... I do know to look on people's faces

when they care.

Hey, Sam. Hi.

Everyone's ready.

All right.

Thank you.

Hi.

I guess congratulations couldn't wait until Monday.

What can we do for you, Jillian?

Thank you all for meeting me.

I have always wanted this job.

Partner at Venture First?

A company that I have led for for years.

But I can't sell the business to you.

No, it belongs with my family.

With me.

I wanted to give you the respect of telling you all face to face.

And to thank you.

For everything.

Okay, Sam.

You're going to be just fine.

Yeah, but what are you going to do?

I don't know.

I actually don't have a plan.

for you.

Thank you.

You have been marvelous.

Jillian!

Would you like a cookie?

I would love one.

You know, Hazelnuts are doing quite well.

Yeah, I saw the returns.

Who would have thought it, huh? Sometimes, the dark horse pulls out the

Dark horse.

Howard, you're a genius.

What?

I thought you'd be back for my coffee.

I wanted to thank you for everything.

You know, you made me feel like I'm part of the family.

Alpha, I need to apologize. I am so sorry, Aunt Marjorie. I almost ruined

everything. Sweetie, I know you wouldn't ruin everything.

There's always a way out.

I didn't have that much confidence.

In all my years in the private sector.

I never found a corner I couldn't fuck my way out of.

Or an investment that didn't have a back door if you needed it. What do you

mean?

Robert did make his money.

But it's also true he wanted to enjoy his life.

So I'm the one that found the investment opportunities for him. But he did what

made him happy.

Because honestly, that's what made me happy.

I think we have a lot more to discuss.

Okay.

I just, I want to apologize for everything.

But I made it right.

I quit my job.

I never meant to sell the business, especially one that means so much to the

family, to me, to us.

The B &B stays, and the family retain the rights, top to bottom.

To help through a new investor.

Uncle Walrus?

Well, Robert left me a little money as well. And once I heard, I kind of

insisted.

I didn't step in earlier because, honestly, I didn't know Jill.

I didn't really like you.

Until recently.

A B &B is just a place to stay.

But it's love and feelings that make it a place to stay in your heart.

So, do you have a plan?

To open up our next family -run B &B.

As 50 -50 partners?

Finally. It's a good idea.

Deal.

And I always so wanted to apologize to you.

I should have trusted you from the start.

And you were right.

I never took a risk.

I know that now.
