We'll be stronger.

We'll find destiny.

Don't see what you will see.

It's not about me.

Love will conquer
if we're meant to be.

Babe, I'm gonna set you free.

You know where I will be.

Make it home by spring.

Susan, how's it
sounding out there?

You sound great, Bert.

Alright.

Check, check, check.

Loretta!

I've been looking
everywhere for you.

Am I that hard to find?

Everything's falling apart.

Nothing's falling
apart, Gertrude.

What about the ice?

The music?

The catering truck?

The ice is going
in the deer freezer.

Bert is organizing the music.

Yay!

The center is cutting branches to
make room for the catering truck.

Look, it's all planned out.

Your grandparents'
anniversary will be perfect.

Excuse me.

Hey, Mom.

Oh, hi, sweetie.

Aren't those azaleas beautiful?

They are, Mom, but I thought we were
using cherry blossoms for the centerpieces.

You don't think these
azaleas are pretty?

No, I do.

It's just... azaleas are
so common around here.

Aren't you a little
bored of them?

No, not really.

I have an idea.

We could put the azaleas
by the photo booth.

Oh.

It's just I had the cherry
blossoms shipped in from Oregon.

Please use them
for the centerpieces.

Okay, of course.

Have you seen Wayne?

Um, I think he's
finishing up with a guest.

Have you told him yet?

I'm going to.

Oh, Loretta.

I can't wait for him forever.

I've been trying for weeks, Mom.

He keeps changing the subject.

But this time
now, it's for sure.

Honey, you have to tell him.

Kriele!

Hey, uh, Wayne.

Can you give me a hand?

What do I pay you for?

You can always fire me.

Give my job to Abby.

I'm not sure she's going
to take the drop and sell it.

Hey, uh, you might want to schedule
a regular maintenance for that gig.

When something
breaks, let me know.

It ain't a crime to
think about tomorrow.

I'm missed today?

Hey, I'm just your employee,
but you own the inn now.

You know, it's a lot
of responsibilities.

You sound like Loretta.

Smart woman.

Smart man would already
put a ring on her finger.

I'm just waiting for
the right moment.

Speak of the angel.

Lori!

Do you know how much
I missed you today?

Did things go well
with the guests?

It was a great hike.

Fish were biting all day.

Here Gretchen's
party was a blowout.

Oh, it's only 30 guests.

Now that sounds
like plenty to me.

You know what I was thinking?

This winter, when things slow
down, we should refurbish the old barn.

Wayne... We can redo
the wood, put in a bar.

You can use it for events.

We can't avoid
talking about it forever.

Yeah, fine.

Fine, let's talk about it.

Well, it's a huge
opportunity for me.

There aren't opportunities here.

I'd be working for one of the
biggest event planners in the country.

Yeah, in Los Angeles.

Loretta, we can build the
sundown into something special.

This is your hometown.

Doesn't that mean
anything to you?

Of course it does.

You took it.

I'll be back next week.

Okay.

Now, what does that mean for... You have
no idea how hard this decision was for me.

No.

If I don't do this, I'll always
wonder whether I'm good enough.

Yeah, fine.

You do whatever you got to.

I'm sorry, Wayne.

I know.

Morning, Miss Bennett.

Morning.

Morning.

Feeling okay?

I'm fine.

If you're getting sick, I could
always do the fire-I don't get sick.

Now, what do we
have for tomorrow?

Zach Carraway's birthday party.

Beverly Hills, invitation only.

Bouncy Castle arrives
at 8 am, followed by cake.

Loretta?

Yes, Miss Bennett?

This isn't a presidential
inauguration.

It's an eight-year-old's
birthday party.

Which we are only doing today.

What are we doing so Zack's mommy and
daddy will hire us for the Richmond Ball?

I just like to be prepared.

And that is wonderful.

But remember, no plan
survives contact with the enemy.

Still, I appreciate
your hard work.

Especially now that
Dee Dee is retired.

Right.

Have you chosen anyone
to be the new lead planner?

I don't know.

You have someone in mind?

Hello?

Oh, hi Lori.

I hope I'm not
interrupting anything.

Oh, no, no.

I'm just finishing dinner.

Pretty casual.

So, how is the City of Angels?

Yeah, everything's great.

Well, you know, the
Spring Festival's coming up.

I sure wish you'd
come home for a visit.

As soon as things
slow down, I promise.

I know, honey.

You work so hard.

I think it's finally paying off.

I think Miss Bennet's
promoting me to leave.

Oh, well, that's great.

You deserve it.

I mean, I know they miss
you here at the sundown.

How is everything over there?

Well, you could call
and ask for yourself.

I tried calling.

You tried two years ago.

Well, Wayne
doesn't want to talk.

Well, maybe he'll surprise you.

Yeah, maybe.

Look, I gotta run.

I love you, Mom.

I love you too, honey.

I'm on my way.

They took forever
with your dry cleaning.

Miss Bennet, are you okay?

I might be coming
down with something.

Oh, if you don't feel up to making the
party, I could totally handle it on my own.

But are you sure?

Absolutely.

It's an eight-year-old's
birthday party.

How bad could it be?

I will remember this.

Don't worry.

I have it all under control.

There's no need to rush.

There's plenty of
cake for everyone.

There you go.

Could you move the
gifts inside, please?

Thank you.

Oh, this is Adelaide.

Adelaide gets the
special cake with no nuts.

There you go.

Thank you.

Of course.

Oh, so sorry.

Head in the clouds.

Hold on a second.

You might be looking for this.

Oh, my planner.

Thank you.

Hope you don't mind.

I took a peek inside.

Oh.

Are you always so thorough?

Afraid so.

It's very impressive.

I'm Paul Parenti.

Parenti?

Like the law firm?

You've heard of us.

Yeah.

Adelaide's your daughter?

Adelaide's my niece.

And this is my fiancé,
Michelle Wellerson.

The party is amazing.

And the way that you
fixed the bouncy castle.

Oh, well, thank my dad.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

He had me fixing engines as
soon as I could lift a wrench.

A tomboy, huh?

Yeah, big time.

As a kid, I practically
lived in the woods.

You grew up in the woods?

Not literally.

This is going to be perfect.

We have to go, but we would
love to discuss an event with you.

Can you stop by
my office tomorrow?

Yeah.

I think I have some time.

Great.

I'll have the garage reserved
a space for Amy Bennett.

Awesome meeting you.

I look forward to
seeing you tomorrow.

Excuse me, madam.

I'm here to offer you my eyes.

Because after seeing you, I
won't be needing them again.

Yeah.

Sorry I'm late.

Audition went well?

Well, you just saw it,
so what did you think?

Oh, stirring.

Oh, good.

It was for a soap, so, you
know, stirring was the goal.

You look at the menu?

Yeah, they're still
serving brunch.

Oh, great.

I love brunch.

Is brunch so popular in L.A.

because no one's up
in time for breakfast?

And mimosas are fantastic.

Speaking of fantastic,
I'm loving this suit.

Oh, it's my boss's.

Why are you wearing
your boss's clothes?

Long story.

Have you heard of Paul Parenti?

I don't think so.

He's one of the most
powerful lawyers in the city.

Go on.

He mistook me for my boss
today, and I didn't correct him.

Well, look at you.

He wants me, or Amy Bennett,
rather, to come to his office tomorrow.

You have to go.

Howard!

Babe, this is why people
come to L.A., okay?

To become something we're not.

I mean, this could
be your big break.

Look, I'm seeing Amy
tomorrow morning anyway.

I'll talk to her about it then,
and then we can go together.

Okay, fine, but I'm telling you, I
just, I don't think that's the way.

Creeps Florentine.

Congratulations on the party.

Zach's parents were thrilled.

They just called to hire
us for the Richmond Ball.

That's wonderful.

What's this I hear about
you fixing a bouncy castle?

Oh, it was nothing.

Actually, funny story, I
met someone at the party.

Wait, before we talk about the
party, I have a surprise for you.

You know I've been looking
for a new lead planner.

Yeah?

Well, Elizabeth, can
you come in here, please?

Sure.

Elizabeth Nash,
meet Loretta Johnson.

Hi.

Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you, too.

Elizabeth is our
new lead planner.

Amy tells me you're great.

Elizabeth has
tons of experience.

You're going to
learn a lot from her.

So what were you
saying about the party?

You met someone?

It's not important.

Okay.

I have some swatches
I want to show you.

Okay.

It was great meeting you.

Yeah.

Hi, this is Amy Bennett.

I just wanted to confirm my appointment
with Mr. Parenti this afternoon.

Thank you.

I'm sorry for the
wait, Miss Bennett.

Oh.

Please, come on in.

How's your day going?

Great.

Great.

And you?

Yeah, fine.

Thank you.

Please, have a seat.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Hi.

Hi.

Hi.

Hello.

Let me tell you first off, Amy, even
though I'm a lawyer, I hate liars.

Mr. Parenti, there's
actually some...

So, I apologize
for lying to you.

I told you Michelle was my fiancé,
and technically, we're not engaged.

I'm not sure I understand.

My father, Arthur,
he's a bit old-fashioned.

Paul hasn't received his
blessing to marry me yet.

That's where you come in.

You want me to ask him for you?

No.

No.

Nothing like that.

It's just...

He's very hard to impress.

Well, if Paul Parenti doesn't
impress him, I'm not sure who could.

My dad is not impressed
by stuff like this.

He's an outdoorsman.

And Paul is... Not.

Wait, Michelle Wellerson,
your father is Arthur Wellerson?

The billionaire?

Well, he prefers Arthur
Wellerson, the philanthropist.

Yes.

Arthur and I haven't
exactly hit it off.

And I think it's because
we're doing things that I like.

So, I would like
to plan... Uh...

Would you call it a retreat?

Retreat is fine, honey.

Yes.

Yes.

A weekend outdoors with hiking and
fishing and get him in a really great mood.

And if you can make Paul look
more comfortable, all the better.

He's very hard to impress.

Yeah.

You mentioned that.

Most L.A.

event planners spend even
less time outdoors than I do.

But we were blown
away with Zach's party.

And when you mentioned
that you grew up in the woods...

We thought that
you might be perfect.

Okay.

So, just for my own, uh...

You want me to plan a retreat to make
Paul look like an outdoorsman so that your

father will give him his
blessing to marry you.

I mean, it sounds crazy
when you say it, but yeah.

Well, tell her
about the wedding.

Right.

The wedding.

Now, we haven't chosen
a firm to plan our wedding.

If you can do this, I don't
see why we can't hire you.

To plan the
Wellerson-Parenti wedding.

Our wedding.

Yes.

That'll be one of the biggest
weddings of the season.

You flatter us.

But we do expect it to
be a pretty good party.

So, can you please help us out?

There's something I
have to tell... Sorry.

Sorry.

Everything okay, Amy?

Yeah, I have to tell you...

I can't wait to get started.

Fantastic!

Thank you so much.

You have no idea
what this means to us.

Well, great.

What have I done?

You told a white lie.

It's not that big a deal.

I pretended to be my boss to get
work from a high-powered attorney.

He could sue me for fraud.

Okay, fine.

A gray lie.

Oh, my God.

You can't forget these.

All right?

You're going to
need your energy.

Where do you keep your heels?

Back of the closet.

Look, don't think
of it as lying.

Okay?

Think of it as saving
your boss a lot of work.

Oh, if I pull this off,
Ms. Bennet will get to

plan one of the biggest
weddings in the year.

Ah, you see?

It's a win-win.

Yeah, and this can
just be a funny story.

We tell the company
Christmas parties.

That's my girl.

All right, try these.

It's the hiking lodge, Howard.

I can't wear high heels.

Honey, you see, you're thinking
like Loretta Johnson, though, okay?

You need to start
thinking like Amy Bennet.

Hey, what if I came with you?

Oh, I could be Amy's assistant.

I don't think we should stack any
more lies onto this than we have to.

Look, I got a shoot in Memphis
this weekend anyway, okay?

And, you know,
it's been six months.

Like, I got to see your
hometown at some point.

There's not much to see.

Well, if it produces
a lot of good news.

If it produced a woman like
you, I'm sure it's wonderful.

You always did love Azaleas.

Loretta!

Oh, my goodness!

Hi!

Why didn't you tell me
you were coming home?

Are you here for
the Spring Festival?

Not exactly.

Wow.

Yeah.

And I have to call you Amy?

Only in front of
Paul and Arthur.

Are you sure you just
can't tell them the truth?

If I tell the truth now, they'll
call my boss and I'll get fired.

Oh, wow.

Think Wayne will go for it?

I'm not sure he's
going to have a choice.

What do you mean?

Well, don't tell him
I said this, but since

you've been gone,
Sundown's not doing so well.

What?

Well, Wayne, he's great with the outdoor
stuff, but you know, Wayne, he's just not

organized enough to
keep up with the events.

No, you two are a great team.

Do you still help out at all?

Did you bring some
money over there?

No, not so much.

I think Wayne's afraid that
he can't afford to pay me.

I had no idea the Inn
was in this much trouble.

Oh, honey, it's not your fault.

What could you do?

You're out there living in LA.

It's true, I know.

I love it.

See you later.

Bye.

Bye.

Take care.

See you later.

See you later.

Bye.

Bye.

Bye.

Bye.

Bye.

Hello, Wayne.

Shouldn't be wearing high heels.

Could stick in the
mud and twist an ankle.

Good to see you, too.

And you, Abby.

Trouble with the engine?

Nothing I can't handle.

If you want, I could
take a look at it.

What are you
doing here, Loretta?

I have some work for you.

Feel free to call
our booking line.

You mean your cell phone?

It's a small operation.

You never answer when I call.

Can you blame me?

Two clients, three
days, deep pockets.

You have been in L.A.

too long if you think I
care about deep pockets.

They already gave
me the deposit.

What did they
give it to you for?

You don't work here.

I'm their event planner.

Actually, that's complicated.

Complicated how?

Well, they think I'm my boss.

So this get-up is
some sort of disguise?

All you'd have to
do is call me Amy.

I'm not interested.

Safe travels, Loretta.

Glad you found yourself
out there on the coast.

How's the inn doing, Wayne?

Well, is Dad supposed to be in?

Please.

It's three days.

Please.

It's three days.

You could use the money to
finally refurbish the old barn.

I'm sorry, but we
are all booked up.

Have a safe trip home.

It was good to see you, Wayne.

I mean it.

We've got to get back to work.

That barn is long past
due for some renovations.

It sure is.

Don't see why we couldn't
fit in a couple more guests.

Great.

I already told them, yes,
they'll be here Friday.

Bye.

Bye.

Bye.

Bye.

Bye.

So what'd you tell your boss?

I was going home
for a quick vacation.

Did she believe that?

Yes.

I should visit more.

It's fine.

We'll see you every time
you pretend to be your boss.

Obviously, my clients
will stay in the main house.

Oh, really?

Yeah, for what they're paying.

Fine.

We have the Millers, but I guess
they can stay in one of the cottages.

And I told my mom we'd hire
her back home for the weekend.

Here, I thought I
owned this place.

We need her help.

It can come out of my cut.

When was the last
time you dusted?

I leave the windows
open on Sundays.

Yeah, that's not how dust works.

Fine.

We'll do some dusting, too.

And now you
don't like my coffee.

Well, these guys drink French
press coffee in actual French cafes.

They're not gonna drink
Doug's mellow brew mud.

Well, that's a shame, because Doug
makes a...really mean cup of coffee.

What is all this?

I'm working on the
itinerary for the weekend.

An itinerary?

A schedule.

Yeah, I know
what an itinerary is.

Why do we need one?

Well, there's a lot
riding on this weekend.

Not just for me,
but for Paul, too.

Who mentioned that?

Paul is gonna ask this
billionaire, Andrew... Arthur.

Paul is gonna ask Arthur if
he can marry his daughter.

And he wants to do it out here?

Arthur's an outdoorsman.

Hey, Paul wants to show that
he's capable in the outdoors.

But he's not.

That's why we need a plan.

You know, we need to put Paul
in positions that make him look...

...comfortable.

All right.

You might be the event wizard, but
out in the woods, that is my domain.

I have never used an itinerary,
and I'm not gonna start now.

I need to make a shopping list.

Do you have any pens, or are
those not part of your domain?

Draw under the telephone.

Thanks.

No stamps.

What?

You got a passport?

Once you left, I thought
it would be a good idea.

So you would leave
San Francisco?

It's just a passport.

So that's a no.

Well, maybe I don't see much
of a reason to go anyplace else.

Well, you must
have thought about it.

And didn't you say we've
got some work to do?

Let's take a look at that truck
engine while we still have daylight.

I told you I could handle that.

Oh, Rain, are you still insecure
about my superior mechanic skills?

Just don't get electrocuted.

Do you know nothing
about engines?

Honestly, I just
hope for the best.

It works most of the time.

Well, maybe if you focused on the details a
little more, stuff would work all the time.

Want me to start it for you?

Hey, sounds good.

I'm sorry.

I can't handle the time.

Almost six on my
mind, but I didn't.

What?

You say we take
it for a test drive?

No, no.

I need to wash out before
my turn and my Mom get here.

Come on, Lordy.

We'll expand.

I wrote down all the
things I'd say, but I couldn't.

I just couldn't.

Baby, I know I could.

It seems to be working, I think
we can just get back to the inn.

What are you doing?

You don't ever just
waste 15 minutes.

Look at where you are.

This sky.

These trees.

This town.

St. Francisville is in my
blood, you don't feel that?

Is he coming?

Yeah sure, okay.

So there we were,
lost, hungry... Tired.

Dog tired.

And Wayne wants to call Loretta.

Oh I have had to wake up Loretta,
that is not a decision you make lightly.

So we're arguing, and who
should appear but Loretta herself?

You two, talk about a sad sight.

Wayne says, honey,
how did you find us?

And she says, well, you
two are making so much

racket I heard you
clear from the tree line.

So Wayne says, honey, you said
you wanted wild violets for your party.

And if it takes me all night,
I'm going to get you some.

And Loretta says, well Wayne, that's
very sweet, but when I said I wanted wild

violets, I meant I wanted you to go
to my mom's store and pick some up.

Loretta, we're lost without you.

It's great to have you back.

Oh, Turner, I'm not,
I'm not back back.

What do you mean?

I'm only here for work.

I go back to Los
Angeles next week.

Hey.

Hey Turner.

Hey.

You staying with your mom?

My old room.

Coming back home can
be one heck of a thing.

Ever been good in L.A.?

Yeah, yeah, I mean,
my job's a little crazy.

But I'm seeing
someone, so that's nice.

Really?

Have you told Wayne?

Well, it hasn't come up.

I wonder why that is.

I need a hammer and nails.

And do I want to know?

The sign's crooked.

No.

Wayne, it's hanging
from a piece of twine.

Exactly.

First thing you see, you go,
okay, at the Sundown Lodge.

I don't need to be perfect.

Paul and Arthur are going
to be here any minute.

I don't have time to
argue with you about this.

Check the barn.

There should be some
nails in the toolbox.

Put your shoes on.

Did

you find anything?

What?

You said you were
looking for nails.

Oh, yeah, yeah, I found some.

Well, that's going
to have to wait.

Your guests have
arrived, Miss Bennet.

Hello there.

Mr. Wellerson?

Guilty.

She must be Amy Bennet.

This is Wayne Hendricks.

He owns the inn.

Great to meet you, Wayne.

Looks like you've got a
beautiful piece of property here.

Thank you, Arthur.

And I'm sorry we're late.

I wasn't driving.

What's that?

Nothing, Paul.

Oh, okay.

Mrs. Johnson, could you
show Mr. Wellerson to his room?

Um, of course, Miss, uh, Bennet.

It's right this way.

Oh, no, no, I could
not let you do that.

Lead the way.

Mr. Parenti, so
glad you're here.

Glad to be here, Amy.

Oops, I must have missed one.

I'm Paul.

Wayne.

Are those new boots?

Yep.

Guy at the store said
they were top of the line.

Well, new boots
can blister your feet.

I'll find you some old ones.

Thanks.

Well, uh, I just want you
to know I'm a little nervous.

After this weekend, Arthur
goes to Tanzania for two months.

This is my last
chance for a while.

Don't worry.

We're gonna show
Arthur the time of his life.

Come on.

The journey, okay?

So, we're supposed to make
that guy look like an outdoorsman?

He looks like a mannequin
in a hiking catalog.

Please, don't embarrass him.

Well, I'm sure he'll do
plenty well without on his own.

All right.

I'll see you outside, Amy.

I can't help but notice you've
had your eyes up in the trees.

Yeah, there's a
bird I'm looking for.

Which one?

You ever hear of a
pileated woodpecker?

The same one as
Woody Woodpecker?

Very good.

Yeah, I hear you
got him down here.

Well, not real active
this time of year, but one

morning we could make
a mission and find one.

I think it's okay, Mr. Parenti.

It's fine.

Not much further.

Here.

What?

Trade packs with me.

Mine's lighter.

No, really.

I'm fine.

The hike's at least
another couple miles.

Okay, we switch back
once I catch my breath?

Absolutely.

Okay.

Hey, Paul.

You're just getting started.

I don't know.

Mr. Parenti came back
for me when I fell behind.

He's like a gazelle.

Arthur and I were just
discussing the route.

Aren't we taking the Gulliwack?

No, a Gulliwack's barely a hike.

Well, as I said in my itinerary, the
Gulliwack's a good warm-up for the hike.

The Gulliwack isn't gonna
push a gazelle like Paul.

Right, Paul?

How you feeling, Arthur?

Hey, fresh as a daisy.

Well, what do you
say we try a real hike?

No trail, see where
the trees lead us.

See?

That sounds like
an adventure to me.

I'll settle then.

Let's go exploring.

Can we take a break?

Is the gazelle wearing out?

No, no.

It's me.

I have weak ankles.

Great.

Oh, Paul.

So did you grow up around here?

What?

Why do you ask?

You seem to know your
way around pretty well.

I've brought a lot of clients.

You sure you didn't grow
up around here because I

had an ex-girlfriend and
you are her spittin' image.

Must have one of those faces.

Well, that must be it.

Well, if the lady's ankles have recovered,
we should be heading home soon.

Thank you, Amy.

Hey,

how was the hike?

Paul barely made
it, the poor thing.

Well, I'm glad I made extra.

There'll be some hungry boys.

What'd you make?

Spam sausage.

Mom, you didn't.

Well, we always used to serve
spam sausage on the first night.

I don't want Paul to look
squeamish in front of Arthur.

Well, he'll just
have to make do.

Okay, don't lie.

Just don't get specific.

Hello?

Hey, Amy.

It's Michelle.

Oh, hey, Miss Wellerson.

Soon to be Mrs. Parenti, I hope.

Oh, sure.

Arthur and Paul are
really, um, hitting it off.

God, that's such a relief.

My father can be
very hard to impress.

I better head back inside.

We're about to
sit down for dinner.

Amy, please.

I know this whole thing
can seem antiquated, but

promise me you will get
Paul my father's blessing.

I promise.

Thank you.

I'll talk to you soon.

Well, it sounds like Amy Bennett
has everything under control.

Yeah.

Thank you, Susan.

Sorry.

Still work hours
on the West Coast.

What?

I work in L.A.?

Some of us actually
work pretty hard, Arthur.

I know you do, Paul.

Just kidding around.

This sausage smells great.

Oh, thank you.

It's an old recipe.

While we have a moment,
I thought we could go

through the itinerary
for the next couple days.

Well, this looks,
uh, very... detailed.

I think what Amy wants is for us
to get the most out of our time here.

What do you say we
play things by ear?

No need to nail things down.

There's a man
after my own heart.

You know what?

I'll look over this
later, all right?

There's nothing wrong
with having a few ideas.

I'm sure I can't help
with those dishes.

Please, you're our guest.

All right, uh, see
you all tomorrow.

Good night, Arthur.

Good night.

Be careful.

Those are antiques.

Come on.

I called you, Amy, all night.

I took your clients
out for a great hike.

Then what do you want?

You've been trying to humiliate
Mr. Parenti since he got here.

I am not trying
to humiliate Paul.

Keep your voice down.

If this is how you treat
guests, no wonder the inn isn't...

No wonder the inn is what?

Well, don't worry about it.

You don't worry
about anything, right?

I just play it by ear.

Even if Paul gets Arthur's
blessing, then what?

He spends the rest of his life
pretending to be someone he's not.

Why does that sound familiar?

I'm sorry.

My dad told me you'd never see
more stars than in a St. Francisville sky.

Well, it's kinda hard to
argue on a night like this.

And how would he know?

He never left St.
Francisville his entire life.

That last summer I was
here, I didn't want to live my

whole life and think I'd miss
my chance to see the world.

But now that I'm here, I
don't want to live my whole

life and think I'd miss my
chance to see the world.

Don't stay out of here too long.

You got a big day tomorrow.

God,

I love these late
harvest berries.

You know, they're like candy.

Mom, is everything okay?

You should tell Arthur
and Paul the truth.

I want to.

I do.

Then why don't you?

Your father and I
raised you, to be honest.

No matter the consequences.

I'm going to tell them.

I'm just waiting for
the right moment.

You don't need the right
moment to tell the truth.

Something on your mind?

I mean, I remember you being bad,
but I don't remember you being this bad.

Ah, Thoreau and I
must still be asleep.

Yeah, must be.

Ever think about
leaving St. Francisville?

Well, I went to the
Bahamas last December.

You never told me that.

What do you think I do when
you shut down for the winter?

Do you think I just roast
pecans and twiddle my thumbs?

Guess I'm crazy for
thinking this town is all I need.

Wayne, look at
where I'm standing.

Home isn't where you go.

It's where you come back.

That's pretty good.

Write it off a bottle, Captain.

Good morning, Arthur.

Morning.

Morning.

Good morning.

What is this?

Mi Esperanza.

It's from Honduras.

It's delicious, Arthur.

Mi Esperanza?

This stuff's like
35 bucks a pound.

Well, we wanted to make sure
you're as comfortable as possible.

I appreciate the gesture, but I
just like my coffee a little simpler.

I, uh, I think we have some simpler
coffee lying around somewhere.

Oh, hey, you guys
need to get ready to go.

Why?

Where are we going?

Port Hudson.

Yeah, it's part of
Spring Festival.

They're giving tours
of Civil War sites.

Well, yeah, it was
on my itinerary.

Itinerary, yes.

I told you I'd look it over.

More walking.

Would you be joining us, Amy?

Sure.

I'll change into something
more comfortable and we can...

Actually, Amy and I have
some errands to run in town.

We'll catch up
with you in a bit.

Doug's Mellow Brewed Mud.

I'll have to give this a try.

What are you doing?

Well, there are classic cars this year,
so I think if we go around that way, then.

Just look with your
eyes, not your itinerary.

Good morning, Bert.

Loretta Johnson.

I've heard rumors.

Good ears.

She travels fast
in a small town.

Oh, wow.

Truck looks great.

Don't you?

Yeah.

See what happens when
you take care of something?

Remember Loretta's old car?

Used to cruise around
in that little red Miata.

I can't believe you
remember my Miata.

And your mom drives a two-tone,
two-green, Subaru station wagon.

And your dad, he drove
that 68 Chevy Nova SS, big

block, 396 Rock Crusher,
four-speed, two-door coupe.

You won't believe me.

That's what he drove.

You've got some
work coming your way.

Fixing up that old barn.

Finally.

You've only been talking
about it for, like, two years.

Well, Loretta brought some clients,
and they're overpaying, frankly,

so... You sell
yourself short, Wayne.

Sometimes.

The good guys work.

Have a fun day.

And you, come back and see me.

I will do.

All right?

So good to see you.

See you, bud.

Have fun.

All right.

Gosh, I haven't
seen Bert in so long.

Oh, wow.

What ace bread.

You're so sweet.

And, Loretta, I haven't
seen you in ages.

Smell these pecans.

I have got to get a jug.

Of course.

All right.

How much do I owe you?

After what you did for
us there on the house.

Thank you.

Hey, Wayne.

Got to show you something.

You think Bert and
I will be right back?

I wish you'd let
us pay for those.

Oh, no way.

When my husband broke
his ankle, Wayne stepped in

and helped out with our
harvest, free of charge.

We would have been
sunk without him.

Sorry, Bert was just showing
me pictures of his new plane.

Bert has a plane?

Yeah, yeah.

It's a little crop
duster he fixed up.

Volunteering it to hospitals,
back and forth between

Baton Rouge and Dallas
and that sort of thing.

Wow.

Captain Bert.

I know, right?

Well, we have bothered
Mrs. Wilson long enough.

Let's get moving.

Stop.

Don't forget your pecans.

How could I?

Thank you, Mrs. Wilson.

You're welcome.

Bye-bye.

Enjoy the festival.

Well, that was very sweet of you
to help Mrs. Wilson like you did.

No, this is St. Francisville.

We help our neighbors.

Thank you, Wayne.

Oh, dear.

We can catch up with
Paul and Arthur if he hurts.

All right.

Hey, can I grab one of these?

Wild Violets.

Took me a couple of years,
but I finally found you something.

Okay, what is this?

It's a spring festival.

No, this.

I feel like you're playing
me a St. Francisville mixtape.

After what you said about your
father never leaving town, I'm just...

I wanted to remind
you that St. Francisville

isn't the worst place
to spend your life.

That's very sweet.

Five bucks.

Everything okay, Mr. Purdy?

Uh, yeah.

Yeah, I just got off.

I don't...

Here.

Any progress with
Arthur on the walk?

Not an inch.

I don't mean to
add more pressure.

I know.

Michelle would marry me
with or without Arthur's blessing.

I just don't want to
put her in that position.

There's still time.

Hey, there's
getting it out there.

Yeah, a little better.

It's kind of all in
the rod tip, isn't it?

So what do you think of Paul?

I think he's a nice enough guy.

Yeah, he is.

Just not the kind of guy I picture
marrying my daughter, I guess.

And he's a nice guy.

Need any help with that?

I got it.

Sure is a pretty day, huh?

Yeah, it sure is.

Get any bites?

Yeah.

Lot of fun fishing.

Yeah.

It is.

Oh, I guess he's trying.

Yeah, maybe that's the problem.

He's trying too hard.

Tell him to be himself.

He'll get a lot
further that way.

You know,

I am out here every day and
still I forget how pretty he can be.

It's like I'm seeing
it for the first time.

A little knotted up?

It came from Paul's reel.

It's not that bad.

Do you think you
could give me a hand?

You know the secret
to untangling a knot?

A knife?

Sure.

You can always give up, cut it
loose, or you find where the line starts.

If you find where the line starts,
you can follow it all the way to the end.

I found the ring
in your toolbox.

Laurie...

You were going to propose?

Maybe it's a
good thing I didn't.

What do you mean?

Well, you had a big
opportunity in L.A.

You would have had to choose.

That wouldn't have
been fair to you.

But you didn't
know I was leaving.

Why didn't you propose sooner?

We had a good thing going.

And it never really felt
like the right moment.

What if there's no such
thing as the right moment?

And what if that's just an excuse
we use to put off doing hard things?

I need to tell Paul
and Arthur the truth.

Are you sure?

It's gonna come
out sooner or later.

It might as well be sooner.

Well, that takes guts.

Hello?

Hi.

Um, who is this?

Well, who's this?

This is Amy Bennett.

I was looking for Loretta.

Looking for this?

Oh, yeah, thanks.

Everything okay?

I'm a little sore.

Came in looking for some ice,
and then you got a phone call.

Okay.

From Amy Bennett.

Don't worry, I covered for you.

Mr. Parenti, I am so sorry.

If this weekend hasn't been embarrassing
enough for me... I was gonna tell you...

Why did you lie to me?

I was mad at my boss for
passing me up for promotion.

I thought if I did this
on my own, she could

see that I could be more
than just an assistant.

You're her assistant?

Oh, that's just perfect.

I'll talk to Arthur in the morning
and accept full responsibility.

No.

That'll make me look even worse.

What do you want me to do?

I guess just keep up the Amy
Bennett act for the rest of the weekend.

And then when we get back to L.A.,
we'll have a much longer conversation.

I need you to keep
calling me Amy.

What happened
to telling the truth?

Paul found out last night.

He's afraid it'll
make him look bad.

So Arthur is the only
one that doesn't know?

Yeah.

You better hope
he doesn't find out.

I don't think he'd like being
the only one not in on a secret.

We are going to split up into groups
of two so we can cover more woods.

Arthur, you and
Susan stick together.

Paul, you're with Amy.

Maybe Arthur and
Paul could go together.

I want one person in each group that
knows the woods so nobody gets lost.

I gave each one of you one
of Abby's old dog trackers.

If you see the woodpecker, we don't want to
spook him, so hit the button on the side.

They'll come up on my phone
and we will come find you.

You can hook it on
your belt and let's do it.

After you, Mrs. Johnson.

I'm sorry, Mr. Ferentzi.

I know this weekend hasn't
exactly gone according to plan.

No, it hasn't, Amy... Loretta.

But I tell you what, I would spend a
thousand weekends like this for Michelle.

She's lucky to have you.

You've never felt that way?

Sorry about anyone?

Or anything?

I'm not sure.

Well, you did lie to further your career,
so you must want that pretty badly.

Hey, something
the matter, ma'am?

Are you always so
set in your ways?

I'm not so set in my ways.

No, I don't know about that.

I think it's good to change the
way we think from time to time.

At least the way we
think about people.

You mean Paul?

I think you should
give him a chance.

I just want what's
best for my daughter.

And how would you know
what's best for your daughter?

We do the best we can, but at some
point, they become their own person.

So, if Paul makes your daughter
happy, maybe that's what's best for her.

Oh, shoot.

Oh, don't worry.

It happens all the time.

Would you please
stop doing that?

What?

You're telling me
everything's okay?

I'll mess up, I'll mess up.

Sorry.

Wait, wait, wait.

Did you hear that?

A pileated woodpecker.

Got him.

You're a wise
woman, Mrs. Johnson.

Well, maybe wisdom
comes with age.

Yeah, we both ought
to be pretty wise then.

Any luck?

Oh, no woodpeckers.

But, you know, a day spent
in the woods is never wasted.

I'm sorry, Arthur.

I thought we'd find one.

Where's Amy and Paul?

Oh, we haven't seen them.

Well, maybe I should...

Nightman's sick.

And that was Paul's tracker.

He probably fell down
and pushed the button.

Or maybe he found them.

Or maybe he found a bird.

All right, come on.

You're absolutely sure?

I'm sure.

A lot of different birds
sound the same, you know.

Loretta, I know you
think I'm hopeless.

In your defense, I've
given you plenty of reasons.

But in this case, I am sure.

Okay?

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

All

right, let's go.

I'll be right back.

Uh, hi, Paul.

Paul, I thought I heard a bird.

I know what I heard.

It's around here somewhere.

It can be tough, the way the
bird calls bounce around the trees.

There it is!

There it is.

Is it?

Well, I'll be.

Well, look at that little cutie.

Paul, how'd you know?

I knew what I heard.

I looked up the call
online this morning.

It sounds almost like a monkey.

Good point, Paul.

I'm sorry.

I'll take you home.

Oh, you should
see Tanzania, Paula.

Impalas, far as the eye can see.

Herds of them, really.

Oh, you've seen impalas.

Only in pictures.

Well, pictures don't
do them justice.

I don't know what you told
Arthur and Mom, but it did the trick.

You have to tell Arthur
the truth about who you are.

Please, Arthur and Paula
are finally getting along.

She's got a point, Miss Johnson.

Oh, what, now you too?

All right, I'm going
to go start dinner.

See you two inside.

She's right.

This whole thing's
gotten out of hand.

Yeah, and Paula already
knows the truth, and Arthur...

Maybe I'd wait until he
signed the marriage license.

God, this weekend...

I wouldn't have been
able to do it without you.

Careful.

I'm not out of the woods yet.

Are you expecting more deaths?

No.

No?

Howard?

Howard!

Well, hello, darling.

I tried to call, believe me, but,
you know, service looks a little...

a little spotty down here.

Oh, hey, man.

Howard Hotchkiss.

Wayne Hendricks.

I thought you were
filming in Memphis.

Yeah, yeah, I had the evening
off, so, you know, road trip.

Yeah, I missed you, Amy.

Oh, wait, Wayne knows who I am.

You don't have to call me Amy.

Okay.

Got it.

A little secret, huh?

Wait a minute.

Loretta's boyfriend, yeah.

Yeah, just hope she doesn't
talk about me too much.

Things are delicate right now.

Delicate how?

Mr. Curranty and Mr. Wellerson
are finally getting along.

Well, what do you
think I'm gonna do?

I just don't want a scene.

Honey, why would I make a scene?

Though I was thinking
on the ride down here.

Would Amy Bennett
really be dating an actor?

Absolutely.

Just hear me out.

Or would she be with Piers Bonham,
gallery owner and art aficionado?

When Ms. Bennett
first strode into my art

gallery, it was like a
masterpiece come to life.

What was it you came in
for that first night, my love?

Was it a...

Oh, a Monet print
for your charity office.

Oh, you remember
better than I do.

Then just like
that, we fell in love.

Where is your gallery, Piers?

Oh, small neighborhood.

If you want, from Los Angeles.

You like Silver Lake or Venice?

Beverly Hills?

Ms. Johnson, could you
show Piers to his room?

Um, absolutely.

Pardon me.

Right this way.

Take your time.

As much as you need.

Well, he's quite a character.

Characters, right?

So, you're dating Loretta.

Who?

Oh, it's okay.

I'm Loretta's mother.

Oh.

Oh, my... Oh, hi.

It's... Wow, it's so
nice to finally meet you.

Finally?

How long have you
two been dating?

Uh, well, April makes...
about six months.

Six months.

Huh.

Wow, that sounds serious.

Yeah, we're... we're
taking it pretty slow.

Yeah, I'd say very slow.

Um, she hasn't even mentioned
you, much less brought you home.

Well, look, I... I've been
wanting to come, but...

You know Loretta.

I mean, she... she
just works so hard.

Mm-hmm.

Yes, she does.

Enjoy your stay.

Okay.

Wayne.

Wayne, talk to me.

What's there to talk about?

Piers seems like a great guy.

Sorry I didn't tell you.

I don't care.

You might want to tell him
to tone down the act, though.

So, Howard's an actor.

He can be a little dramatic.

Oh, he's an actor.

Piers Barnum
really had me fooled.

Well, you're kind
of being a jerk.

You never even
asked if I was single.

Kind of how Arthur never asked
if you're really Amy Bennett?

That's not the same
thing, and you know it.

You're right.

I'm sorry.

You've got your life in L.A.

I've got my life here.

I get that now.

I get that now.

I get that now.

Hey.

Hey.

You didn't think that Piers Barnum
might have been a little bit rough?

My boyfriend, I didn't
ask him to do that.

Right.

Loretta, if a story starts with a lie,
does it matter if it has a happy ending?

I don't know, Mr. Parenti.

Neither do I.

I don't know if Arthur is ever going to
think I'm good enough for his daughter.

This weekend has been hard.

But the hardest part by far has
been being away from Michelle.

Ask him for his
blessing tonight.

What if he says no?

Then he says no.

But you can waste your whole
life waiting for the right moment.

You have to ask him.

You a picker?

Oh, no.

I might have had a
band back in college.

Piers, you going?

You should come out.

You want to play something?

Oh, no.

I couldn't do that.

Arthur, I could sure use a
love song right about now.

I might have one.

Well, I might be a little
rusty, so hang with me.

Some things like diamond
rings, they cost a lot.

What I have to offer
you, can't be bought.

Some it might not seem like
much, but someday girls will see.

Little children know,
there's things in life for free.

I'll give you barefoot
days, with nothing to do.

Long lazy summer days, where
the smallest dreams come true.

We'll find a fishing hole, an old
cane hole, and sunny skies so blue.

Yeah, I'll give
you barefoot days,

spend them with you.

Ain't it funny how people
try to put price on everything?

There.

Oh, thanks.

Wow.

Is there anything
that you can't do?

Well, I'm not a
very good dancer.

Actually, that's not true.

I'm a great dancer.

Arthur.

Yeah, Paul.

There's something that I've
been... I'm sorry to interrupt.

I just... I simply can't
hold it in any longer.

I was going to do this
back in Los Angeles, but...

after hearing Arthur's
song, I just... I can't...

I can't wait another minute.

Amy...

Antoinette... Bennett...

Will you marry me?

Is this for real?

Wow.

Congratulations.

Yeah.

I guess love is in the air.

How are we?

Thank you.

Was that real?

Uh, what do you mean?

Well, was that Piers proposing to Amy,
or was that Howard proposing to Loretta?

Uh, you know, I got
lost in the character.

I can't marry you.

I can't marry you.

Oh, I'm so glad you said that.

Heh.

I've been hiding who I am, not
just from you, but from myself, too.

I'm so sorry.

Yeah, it's been six months.

Never thought to bring me here.

This is your home.

I guess you never saw
me being a part of that.

You know, I think I got lost
in Piers and Amy because...

inside, I kind of knew
that Howard and Loretta...

...were meant to be.

It's all right.

All right, I'm gonna head out.

Sorry Piers is leaving
you with a bit of a mess.

Ugh, don't worry about it.

I could do with a
plot twist anyway.

We'll always have brunch.

We'll always have brunch.

Piers had to head
back to Memphis.

He's sorry he
couldn't stay for dinner.

Oh, well, that's too bad.

Hey, Paul, before Piers
stole the show out there...

...it seemed like there was
something you were trying to say.

There was.

I mean, there is.

Well, go ahead.

Ahem.

Ahem.

Excuse me.

Before I bring out supper, I
would like to propose a toast.

First, to Arthur and to Paul.

We sincerely hope that
you had a really good time.

It could not have
been any better, Susan.

Really.

And to Miss Bennett.

I know your own mother could not
be here for your engagement, so...

I would like to congratulate
you on her behalf.

Now, I can only say
what I would say.

To my own daughter.

Which is...

You are my whole world.

And I wish you the happiest
life that you can ever imagine.

Sorry, I can't do this.

I should have done
this a long time ago.

My name is not Amy Bennett.

It's Loretta Johnson.

I grew up in St. Francisville,
Louisiana, and this is my mother.

Come on, what are
you talking about?

I pretended to be my boss, so Mr. Parenti
would hire me to plan this trip.

I don't understand.

Did you know about this, Paul?

Not at first.

So you did know about this?

Arthur, I eventually
figured it out.

Please, I would do
anything for your daughter,

and I didn't want to
disrupt this weekend.

Oh, so you were all in on this.

Well, you must think
I'm a pretty big joke, huh?

I hope you had a good laugh.

Arthur, it's not like that.

I

moved before I told you so.

Actually, I'm impressed.

Impressed?

This is a disaster.

Yeah, it's a disaster.

But before it turned into a disaster...
you showed those guys a great weekend.

I don't know what to do.

You know where
those answers aren't?

In that binder.

The plan's kaput, and that leaves
you with one option, to improvise.

Look, I'm not like you.

I don't just improvise,
I plan things out.

Loretta, listen to me.

You are the smartest
person that I know.

If anybody can
figure this out, it's you.

Hey, Wayne?

What's Bert's phone number?

Loretta Johnson.

I think we've met.

You met Amy Bennett.

Now you're meeting me.

Well, nice to meet you, Loretta.

There's someone here
who wants to talk to you.

I don't want to talk to Paul.

It's not Paul.

Sweetheart.

Hi, Dad.

Well...

How fresh off a red-eye.

Oh, there's a red-eye from
Los Angeles to St. Francisville.

L.A.

to Dallas.

My friend Bert picked
her up in his plane so

she could see you before
you left for Tanzania.

He flew an airplane in the middle
of the night from Dallas, Texas.

He's from St. Francisville.

Neighbors help each other.

I'm exhausted.

So, if you could hear what I
have to say, that would be great.

All ears.

I am going to marry Paul.

And I'm not asking you.

I'm letting you know.

I love him, Dad.

And he loves me.

He came with you this weekend
and he hates the outdoors.

If you can't see what a
great guy he is, then...

I'm sorry, we're going to have to
get married without your blessing.

Come on out, Paul.

Are you going to make
my daughter happy?

Yes, sir.

And I've never meant
anything more in my entire life.

Well, I know you don't need it.

But you have my blessing.

Thank you, Dad.

Good morning, Miss Bennet.

Loretta, I hope
you're well rested.

We have a lot of work to do.

Actually, there's
something I have to tell you.

I pretended to be you,
so that Mr. Parenti...

Things are a whole lot
simpler when you're a dog, huh?

But he has given us the
Parenti-Wellerson wedding.

So that's what happened.

If you want to fire
me, I understand.

Wow.

Yeah.

You've put at risk the integrity of my
company, everything that I've worked for.

I know.

I'm sorry.

Younger me would
have done the same thing.

So you're not firing me?

I do admit that the Parenti-Wellerson
wedding does soften the blow.

I can't believe it.

I always knew that you were
great with a plan, very smart, Loretta.

I just needed to see
you sail in unchartered

waters before I made
you lead planner.

You're making me lead planner?

I know.

Shocked myself.

I must be loopy
from the flument.

What about Elizabeth?

She took a job doing
Oktoberfest tours.

Beer crazy, that one.

Thank you so much, Ms. Bennet.

You and your Southern manners.

You're coming back today, right?

My flight's in two hours.

Great.

I will see you in my office
tomorrow, lead planner.

See you there.

Thanks for everything, Mom.

Sweetheart, don't wait
two years to visit next time.

I won't.

I promise.

Heard you got
that big promotion.

How did you... Might
have been eavesdropping.

Wayne... On behalf of
everybody from St. Francisville,

Louisiana, let me just
say congratulations.

We couldn't be
more proud of you.

You deserve it.

Thank you.

So you see your lady off?

Shouldn't you be on a safari?

Tanzania's not going anywhere.

We'll see if there's
any fish left in this river.

Sundown fever.

I've seen it happen
to better men than you.

You have, have you?

You've traveled a lot.

Seven continents.

Well, in all your travels, you, uh, you
ever feel like you lost track of home?

Wayne, you know, when I was a kid,
I was sweet on this little girl, Lucille.

Lucille, huh?

Yeah.

Me and Lucille were walking home from
church one day, and she pointed out a bird.

Now, we didn't have a
clue what it was, but we

just knew it looked like
a woody woodpecker.

And that's not the best part.

While I was looking at the bird,
Lucille gave me a kiss right on the cheek.

Right there, you dog.

Yeah.

Must have been quite a kiss.

Lucille, uh, ended
up becoming my wife.

Wayne, I've traveled
the world over.

You know, I, I never forgot
that pileated woodpecker, Lucille.

Are my hometown.

You better go get a kid.

She's something special.

We

are going to be burning a
lot of midnight oil to plan Paul

and Michelle's wedding and
keep up with the other events.

Yes, Ma'am.

I had a thought.

You take over the Richmond Ball.

You're kidding.

2,000 guests, paparazzi,
one night, all eyes on you.

I was expecting a little bit
more jumping up and down.

This is your dream, right?

Right.

Good.

So what do you think?

About this?

With this?

Yeah, great.

Wait.

Can I come in?

Yeah.

You got an airplane?

My security is...

And L.A.'s weather is always like this
because that would drive me insane.

What are you doing here?

I wanted to see the ocean.

And your mom told me about it.

You mean about Pierce?

You mean Howard.

Guess things didn't work out.

You flew across the country
to talk to me about my breakup?

No.

No, I flew across the country to tell
you that I am crazy about you, Loretta.

All that wide open space,
it feels empty without you.

Now, maybe I'm too late,
maybe I missed my moment, but...

I just wanted to
tell you how I feel.

And now I have, so...

I quit my job.

You love your job.

Yeah, I know, but...

It was everything
I thought I wanted.

So what's the plan?

I don't have a plan.

I don't know what's
going to happen next.

All I know is...

I want to be with you.

I want to come home.

You

will be strong We will find destiny Go see
what you will see It's not about me Love

will conquer If we're meant to be Babe I'm
gonna set you free You know where I will

be Hey, they're beautiful.

I'm so glad Paul and Michelle
decided to have their wedding here.

Oh, me too.

And these azaleas are beautiful.

They were Mom's idea.

Locally grown, too.

You nervous, Arthur?

No.

No.

Maybe.

Don't lock your knees
and you'll be fine.

It's all yours, Paul.

Thank you, sir.

Let me show you something.

I don't know what's more
beautiful, this lake or you.

You brought me all the
way out here to tell me that.

No, I... I brought you
out here to give you this.

Now, I don't know if
the timing feels right.

I just know that every
moment with you feels right.

I love you, Loretta Johnson.

I love you, too,
Wayne Hendricks.

I want to show you the world.

As long as we always
come back here.

Will you marry me?

Yes.

Absolutely.

I love you.
