[smoke alarm beeping]

Daniel : Yeah, I got it!

Ruby: It's burning!

What do I do?

[struggling]

[coughs]

Daniel: [coughs]

Ruby: I'm sorry, sorry,

this is so not my finest hour.

- It's okay, just think of it as Cajun cuisine,

it's a blackened waffle.

Ruby: But uh-- it's not even food,

it's a charcoal frisbee.

Ugh, I wish I took you up on that breakfast lesson.

- You waste your one and only wellkeeper wish

on a better waffle?

Ruby: Yeah!

What could possibly beat that?

- I don't know, world peace?

Helper robots?

[with bravado] Superpowers!

- Superpowers?

- Yeah.

Ruby: [scoffs]

Daniel: I've always wanted to be a superhero.

You know, flyin' around, saving humanity.

You and Grandpa O are already heroes,

so why not me?

- But you are!

You are...

Captain Apple!

- Um...

Speaking of which,

I need to set up my booth at the Harvest Fest.

- Oh, whoa, turns out, I gotta go too!

Have a good day!

- Off you go!

?

Ruby: You're up early.

Whatcha got?

?

[thud]

[whooshing]

Ruby: [gasps]

[mystical music]

[wolf howls]

?

[whooshing]

[box clicks]

?

Woman 1: [raspy] I wish I could land a sweet deal.

[girl screaming]

[whoosh]

Ruby: [panting]

Charming.

?

?

Sam: Finally, an obvious one.

�I wish I could land a sweet deal�

This one will be easy.

- What's so obvious about it?

Ruby: [scoffing] Yeah, really Sam?

Oh, hm.

Sam: Obviously,

for a killer priceng

on something cool.

Ruby: Okay?

Sam: So, hear me out,

VIP concert tickets.

Ruby: Hm.

Sam: Uh-

Or a liquid-cooled gaming PC.

Ruby: [chuckles]

Sam: Or donuts!

- Donuts?

Sam: Okay, not donuts.

Ruby: [scoffs]

Mina: And, sorry Sam, you're not a woman's voice.

Ruby: I say we do this the old-fashioned way.

- Yeah, let's start with the clue.

- Like how about... the antique doll?

- What?

No, dolls freak me out.

- Uh, mhm.

- Mina, I'm serious!

The older, the creepier.

[eerie music]

- Ah, are you kidding me?

Those things have been in there

this whole time?

- I bet they were adorable, once!

- Seriously, Sam, what's not to love?

- Uh, I don't know, blood-red lips,

the cracked faces, the-

Ruby: [scoffs]

- creepy eyes that follow you.

look at that creep show.

in the middle of the night

standing on your neck,

your best friend forever

and ever and ever and ever...

- Look!

A local collectors forum.

- Maybewho's local. an expert

- Hm.

the freaky, little fingers.

Ruby: [sighs]

Um, wow,

thediscussionsdoll

can get pretty heated.

care about detailple

to fight about it.g

Ruby: [chuckles]

- You kif I had to,ht a doll

if I were cornered.

[computer dings]

- Huh!

just called out this dude

for "mannequin-splaining."

Ruby: [laughs]

Huh!

- live in town,unny,

theyin their name. flower

that EmeraldFlower78

our favorite florist?

Mina: Lucy!

- But she's already had a wish.

Can she have two?

- Only one way to find out.

?

[popcorn popping]

[fryer sizzling]

[indistinct chatter]

?

Ruby: Oops!

Lucy: [laughing]

[camera clicks]

[laughing]

Yes, that was me in the doll's forum,

but keep your voice down, or Mike will hear you.

[camera clicks]

Sam: Oh, is he scared of dolls too?

Lucy: Eh, he's scared that I'll buy them.

My hobby sorta became a habit,

and I promised him I wouldn't buy another doll

for six months.

- Well, uh, can we show you a drawing we have of a doll.

We think it's an antique.

- Okay, but, uh, shh.

[chatter]

Woman 2: Hey, come look at these!

- Oh my goodness!

Look at her!

Ruby: [laughs awkwardly]

Uh, what can you tell us about her?

Lucy: Oh, um, she's got an antique style,

uh, she's a baby not a little grown up,

so no older than the mid-nineteenth century.

Um, her eyelashes, were they painted on or real?

- Uhh, I think...

painted!

Lucy: Okay, her face,

was it shiny, or more natural?

- Uh, er, uh, well the paint was cracked.

- Porcelain head and hands?

Ruby: Uh, the head was porcelain,

not sure about the body,

her-her-her hair was nice!

- [squeals with excitement]

it might be a Bisque doll!

They were big in Europe

from the mid-1800s right through to the '30s.

Uh, the old ones,

they're just for fancy-pants collectors.

- Ah, so, it's unlikely

that anyone in town could afford one.

Lucy: Not so fast,

once doll collecting became a thing,

they pumped these out for grown-ups!

They're everywhere,

you just need to...

know where to look.

- [exhales]

?

Lucy: [mumbles] Are you selling?

Hm?

- Why?

Do you wish that you had one?

Would you, uh, consider that a sweet deal?

- No, no.

Of course not!

Both: [laugh]

- I made Mike a promise!

Ruby: Hah!

- Now, take away this green, little gumdrop.

Ruby: [nervously laughs]

Lucy: [squeals]

- Ha-ha.

Lucy: Ugh!

Woman 1: [raspy] Ah, excuse me, pardon me.

Ruby: Oh.

- Lucy.

- Amanda.

- I have a floral emergency.

I need two bouquets, stat!

Something approachable, yet with some moxie.

- Nice to see you too.

Amanda: Yeah, these'll do, these'll do.

- That comes to-

Amanda: Invoice me!

[wolf howling]

- Ugh, no, it's gotta be louder.

- The howl, was that--?

- Yeah.

The wolf.

[wolf howling]

Amanda: Listen, Tristen.

We have a motivated buyer.

Tristen: [on phone] You do?

- Yeah, just think, big time.

Think, sweet deal!

Ruby: [exhales]

Tristen: Okay, 350?

Amanda: Okay, that's a better number.

Tristen: All right.

Amanda: All right,

I think we might have something.

[whooshing]

- Is she for real?

- Uh--

[button clicks]

[howling]

Amanda: [sighs]

The Wolf.

Leading the pack in real estate.

Ruby: She's for real all right,

and she's also our wisher.

?

[popcorn rustles]

?

Ruby: Here you go.

Okay, so, you're Amanda Wilczek,

what does landing a sweet deal mean to you?

Sam: Expensive hair, coordinated accessories.

Ruby: Ugh.

Mina: Earworming people with that wolf howl

till they can't sleep at night.

Ruby: Okay, point taken.

It could mean a lot of things.

We've gotta get inside and find out.

Amanda: Your landlord's livin' his best life.

Every dollar that you put in

is an investment in... this.

In you two, in your future, your children's future.

You deserve a place where you can build memories,

a lifetime of tomorrows.

- Yeah, we do!

- Wonderful!

I will text you with an appointment time.

- We can't thank you enough.

- My pleasure.

My pleasure.

[gasps]

You!

- Uh--

[laughs nervously]

- You're an O'Reilly, aren't you?

- Hi!

Uh, yes, I-I am.

Hi.

Amanda: Yeah, uh, the old place,

uh-uh on the edge of town.

The screwy guy used to live there.

- My great uncle.

He had his challenges.

Amanda: You know,

I thought that place of yours was beyond saving,

but you turned it into a real gem.

Ruby: Hm!

Amanda: You and your father there,

you ever decide to sell, keep me in mind.

'Kay?

Ruby: Uh-- well--

- I mean it, I mean it!

Yep!

Ruby: Oh, oh, okay.

[nervously laughs]

Hey, by the way, um--

Amanda: Yeah?

- that sales pitch of yours was a work of art.

I mean, I would love--

- Thank you.

Ruby: to learn to do something like that.

Amanda: You mean, an intern position?

- Uh, sure!

[nervously laughs]

- Great!

[exhales]

You can start by filing these new leads,

those--

- Uh.

Amanda: And...

Ruby: Oh!

[nervously chuckles]

- Looks good on ya!

- [nervously chuckles]

Right now, okay.

Great.

Amanda: Yeah!

Sam: [snorts]

[indistinct chatter]

- Thank you.

[kids laughing]

[firehose splashes]

Halona: Whoa-oa-oa-oa!

[bell rings]

Boy 1: Oh, wow!

Halona: [laughing]

Nice shootin', kiddo!

Halona: You're a natural.

?

Halona: All right, all right, ready?

Here you go.

Now, okay.

[firehose whooshes]

[bell rings]

Halona: Yeah!

Woohoo!

All right, next.

?

Halona: Here we go.

Woo!

Yeah!

[firehose whooshes]

[laughs]

[bell rings]

[clapping]

[firehose whooshes]

[bell rings]

- Yeah-ha-ha!

[bell rings]

[firehose whooshes]

- Yeah!

? It's a brand new day ?

[bell rings]

Daniel: [laughing]

[scattered clapping]

Nice work!

That was great, wow.

- All right, you're next Daniel.

- What?

Oh n-n-n-no I can't.

Halona: Ah, come on,

you know you want to, come on.

Come on.

- All right!

Halona: [laughing] Okay!

One handle on the pistol grip,

one on the nozzle.

All right,

and controlling the hose under your arm,

and also on this hip.

Daniel: All right.

Halona: Okay, all right, you ready?

- Yeah.

?

- Okay, ease back on the valve handle,

and, uh, well, get ready for some kick.

- [laughs]

?

[hose whooshes loudly]

- Whoa!

[bells ringing]

All: [cheering]

Daniel: Wow!

That was great, thank you.

- Well, you're a natural.

Daniel: Well...

- Yeah, maybe you wouldn't mind

helping us out for a couple hours.

We're shorthanded.

- Uh, wow, uh, I'd love to,

but, you know, apples don't sell themselves.

Halona: [laughing] Oh no?

?

Maybe, I could get you to run the siren demo

inside the truck?

?

- Sure!

Sure.

- [laughs]

[indistinct chatter]

Amanda: You mean,

how would I define landing a sweet deal?

Well, that would mean

closing a transaction below market value,

or negotiating, uh, favorable financing terms.

- Okay.

Amanda: It's basically insuring

that a client gets the best value

and conditions for their property

whether they are buying or selling.

Ruby: Nice.

Very thoughtful-and positive!

Amanda: Yeah,

but what I really want is to own my own empire.

Ruby: Oh, wow, okay, uh.

[laughs nervously]

Amanda: Sweet deal to me, means opportunities,

expansion, growth, dominance, one step at a time.

- Uh, and step one would be?

- To become the exclusive broker

for Emerald County.

- And, how do you do that?

Amanda: Well, one way to get the county's attention

would be to sell a dog of a property,

that nobody's been able to offload for years.

- Uh, that sounds tough.

- It is.

But, you're gonna help me, intern.

- Uh!

- Meet our first challenge.

Chya!

- 600 Shadow Grove Road.

Nina: [gasps]

When I was little,

it was the scary, abandoned house

we would run past every Halloween.

Ruby: Really?

Oh.

- Yeah, but, now that I'm older,

it just looks like a fixer upper.

- Oh, well then maybe there's hope for this wish yet!

Uh, here, let's start looking at the house.

[papers rustle]

Mina: Oh, wow,

someone was injured there by a falling branch.

- Um, there was a small fire due to faulty wiring?

Huh!

Mina: And the police were called over

a few different... incidents.

[eerie music]

Ruby: Um, later the house was forfeited to the town

for back taxes, and sat empty ever since.

Mina: But it still looks okay, though,

underneath it all.

Huh.

Sam: Oh, I know that house.

Nobody lives there.

Ruby: Yeah?

Wonder why it never sold.

- [sighs]

Because it's haunted, that's why.

[suspenseful music]

?

Daniel: Look at that.

Look at that!

[firetruck whirring]

Daniel: Okay, now,

who wants to turn on the lights?

You, okay.

Red button right there.

Now, who's brave enough to turn on the siren?

'Kay you,

you're gonna hit that red button

then we're all gonna close our ears, okay?

Because it's gonna be really loud.

Ready?

Three, two, one.

[sirens blaring]

Daniel: [laughs]

[knocking on door]

Halona: Hey.

Daniel: Oh.

[button clicks]

- Uh, I'm sorry,

actually, this activity's just for kids.

Halona: Is it really?

Well, you seem to be enjoying yourself.

[laughs]

Daniel: Yeah, well, I guess I'm young at heart.

- Well, you look pretty at home in this truck,

and we always need good people,

so this is for you.

- Emerald Volunteer Fire Department,

join us today.

I appreciate the offer,

but there is just no way that I could-

Halona: Mhm,

so, firefighter level-one training

starts tomorrow back at the hall,

0800 hours... sharp.

Daniel: No--

Halona: See ya!

Daniel: Uh, no.

Halona?

Halona?

I can't-- uh...

?

Mina: Sam, that house is not haunted

anymore than those dolls are evil.

- Er, uhm.

Sam: A, those dolls are evil,

and B, there are eyewitnesses.

Weird noises, strange lights!

- Which can have a ton of non-paranormal explanations.

That stuff just doesn't happen

in real life.

- Sure,

and our best friend grants wishes that she gets

from her magical, shimmering well.

I'm just saying I think th-

Ruby: Look, look,

it doesn't matter if it's haunted or not,

the problem is people think it is.

- True!

And when enough people believe it,

nobody will buy it.

Ruby: But, selling it is the key to this wish.

Which is why I need to get the house keys

from Amanda!

'Cause we're gonna go see for ourselves.

- [sighs]

[suspenseful music]

?

Ruby: Here we are, 600 Shadow Grove Road.

Huh.

Mina: See?

It has potential.

[crow caws]

- Potential for an untimely demise.

- [sighs]

[chains rattle]

[gate creaks]

Ruby: Huh, look at that.

[crow caws]

Sam: Um...

Classic red flag!

If a house wants you to go in,

you don't under any circumstances,

actually go i--

Guys?

?

Ruby: How bad could it be?

Mina: Sam, don't answer that.

Sam: But I've got answers!

Terrible, awful, horrific, shall I go on?

?

[door creaks]

[loud thud]

Ruby: [gasps]

Hello?

[crows caw]

Well, the listing does say spacious entryway.

?

[lights flickering]

See?

It's not so bad.

?

Mina: Yeah, it's just kinda... empty.

Sam: Okay, maybe you're right.

I guess it's not so...

[creaking]

Sam: [gasps]

Footsteps!

Mina: Okay, that did kinda sound like footsteps.

Ruby: Okay, there has to be a logical explanation.

We just have to find it.

[high-pitched ringing]

[ominous music]

[piano starts playing]

Sam: Guys, the piano's playing itself!

Ruby: Wha-- seriously Sam?

A ghost is playing the piano?

I-It's a player piano.

We probably jostled it coming in.

Sam: It-

Ruby: [sighs]

[distant clanging]

[wind chimes]

Ruby: But that definitely came from upstairs.

Sam: No, you can't go up there,

you'll be closer to the attic,

and the attic is, like, the creepiest room

in the history of rooms.

Mina: What about basements?

Sam: Second creepiest.

Mina: Okay.

Ruby: Relax, Sam.

It's just stairs.

Sam: Okay, yeah, it's just stairs.

[wheel creaks]

Mina: [gasps]

[wheels creaking]

Sam: Uh, with a creepy baby carriage at the top?

Mina: Moving by itself somehow.

[rattling]

[thuds]

All: [screaming]

[piano plays louder]

[loud thudding]

[screaming]

[dramatic music]

[screaming]

Mina: Okay, that just happened.

Sam: Exactly what I said it was gonna be.

Ruby: This place is haunted after all?

Mina: Yes.

Ruby: Uh--

Sam: Yes.

Ruby: I-I-I didn't think I'd see you two

on the same page.

Mina: I didn't think Sam could hit a note that high.

- Well that house, it changes you.

[sighs]

- I'm here for you buddy.

Ruby: 'Kay,

and the doll from my vision

confirms that this house matters more to the wish

than I thought.

- And, this wish is more impossible to solve

than we thought.

It's hard to sell a house with a bad reputation.

- Yeah well if it tries to kill every buyer

that shows up,

it's not a good look, is it?

[phone dings]

Ruby: Um, it's from Ms. Wilczek.

She says, "Good news"?

[paper rustles]

- Actually, amazing news!

Ruby: No way,

all of these people are coming to view the house?

- Yes!

Ruby: Uh-- how?

Amanda: Well,

I just concentrated on the out-of-towners,

most of them, they don't know

and and they don't care about the rumors,

and you know what?

It worked!

Tomorrow evening is our first showing!

- [scoffs]

Wow, that's, uh, quick.

- Yeah, I know.

Yeah, so, what did you think of the place?

- Uhh, it needs... work.

Uh--

Amanda: Ah, most of the people,

they don't mind a fixer upper.

Ruby: But, eh-uh it needs more than work

it's need a--

Sam: A thorough, and complete supernatural cleanse?

Ruby: Yeah...

Only, how?

- Well, there are people you can hire

to un-haunt your house.

- We just need to find someone who's local.

- What are the odds of that?

Sam: Actually, we already know someone.

Kevin: Kevin Murphy, at your spooky service.

[light clicks]

- Really, Sam?

Kevin: Uh-buh-buh.

Sam: You wanna mop up bad spiritual energy,

or don't ya?

Ruby: [sighs]

- So, this un-haunting stuff, you can actually do it?

- Oh, indeed.

I have an encyclopedic knowledge

of, uh, spirit-dispelling mantras, songs, and gestures,

from multiple traditions.

Sam: Well, mantras, uh-eh, that's pretty legit, right?

Ruby: Uh, s-so,

did you take a class or something?

- [laughs]

N-n-n-no.

Ah, that's adorable.

No.

This isn't the kind of knowledge

one can get from, uh, an institution.

I'm a proud graduate

of the school of insatiable curiosity.

The world is my library.

Mina: So what, you just read a lot?

- Yes, yes, mostly comics.

Ruby: Uh-uh, ye-yeah, I don't know about this.

- Do you have a plan B?

Ruby: [sighs]

- You know, moreover, you know,

my results speak for themselves.

- What results?

Kevin: Tell me,

how many ghosts have you seen in the school gymnasium?

- None?

- You're welcome.

Sam: Okay,

so we'll meet at 600 Shadow Gro--

Kevin: Wait!

Wait.

There's a component I need

that is crucial to absorbing negative energy

and making a circle of protection

around myself.

I'll need to procure it ASAP.

And, at your expense of course.

Mina: Okay, but we need this to be done for tomorrow.

Ruby: Uh-huh.

Mina: How expensive are we talking?

- And what is this component, sorry?

- Uh, r-r-road salt, a bag is like 12 bucks.

Ruby: [sighs]

[crickets chirping]

Ruby: Now these are waffles.

Daniel: Hm.

- Check it out, fluffy--

Daniel: Mhm.

Ruby: golden, and not a hint of volcanic ash.

Hm.

Daniel: Trust me,

your second attempt will go much better

once our new waffle iron arrives.

Ruby: Yeah,

I'd, uh, offer to cover breakfast,

but I'm one of those unpaid interns.

- Oh, well, this was my idea,

trying to save time this morning.

Thank you.

[card reader beeps]

- You have your thing with Amanda,

I have my firefighter training thing-y, maybe,

I don't know.

Ruby: You may have doubts, but I don't.

You're doing it.

Daniel: Ruby.

- Give me one good reason why not?

- Well, uh, I'm busy with the orchard,

I still have to fix up the house,

I'm still helping out at the hall,

I have marketing clients,

I have a teenager that I am raising.

- Okay that was five reasons,

but the orchard harvest is in,

the house is fine,

the hall and our clients are basically on autopilot,

and your teenager is basically an adult.

- You think so?

- Basically.

[order bell dings]

- Ruby, the fire department would just be such a,

a big commitment.

- Okay,

and even though you've got five good reasons not to,

well, here you are,

having an early breakfast, ready to go.

You should do it.

And you want one good reason why?

- Sure.

- Because you really want to.

?

Amanda: No, please, just hear me out.

Is-is there anything that I can do

to make you change your mind.

Man 1: [on phone] I know, I'm sorry,

[indistinct]

- Fine.

Man 1: I can't convince him.

- I see.

Man 1: Thank you.

- Oh, thanks for your time.

[phone clicks]

- Morning!

Uh, what was that?

- Cancellation.

One of many.

This one actually went better than the, oh, I don't know,

dozen others.

- What happened?

Amanda: Remember all those showings for 600?

They're bailing.

- Uh, but, they're out of towners?

Amanda: And now,

I understand the online chit-chat

and how fast that spreads rumors.

We're only down to a couple more leads.

Ruby: Bu-bu-but good ones though, right?

Amanda: Yeah, well, I don't know, maybe.

All right, we still have that family

that I pitched yesterday,

they're still interested in seeing it,

and then there's that, uh, big land developer,

and, luckily, we have my big lead,

he's still in play.

That-

[phone dings]

Ugh, scrap that.

Yeah, he just backed out.

Great!

- Look, the house has great bones,

and a nice yard,

and it's smack dab in the middle

of the best town ever!

- Yeah.

Yeah.

?

- And we've got you.

- Me?

- Amanda Wilzcek.

- Amanda Wilzcek.

- The Wolf.

- I am the Wolf!

Ruby: I've seen you in action,

and you are a force.

- Yeah.

- Landing a sweet deal, remember?

- I do.

Okay, give me 24 hours, and I will close this thing.

- That's the spirit!

Speaking of spirits...

?

- It's time.

- All right team, let's get this done.

- No!

This thing I do, I must do alone.

I'll return in an hour--

[machine whirs]

no more, no less.

?

May fortune favor me.

Daniel: [grunts]

Halona: Ninety-nine...

and one--

Daniel: [grunts]

Amanda: Hundred!

Daniel: [sighs in exhaustion]

Halona: Well, not bad.

You cut it kinda close,

but you passed part one of the fitness test.

- Part one?

Halona: Yeah, some strength training,

here we go.

Daniel: Can we, uh, take a minute?

I just need a quick break.

Halona: Well, if there's an emergency,

you don't get a quick break.

Structural fires, motor vehicle accidents,

search and rescue, hazardous materials,

none of them ease up for a second.

Hm?

Daniel: [out of breath] Okay, yeah, I gotcha.

Halona: So, you never know what you're gonna face

on a daily basis.

Large diameter hose--

Daniel: [grunts]

Halona: that's the real deal.

Now, hit the stairs.

Daniel: Stairs?

Halona: Yeah.

Ope, careful!

Ruby: [labored breathing]

Uh-uh, hey!

Mina: Hi.

Ruby: How's our favorite ghost hunter doing?

Mina: Uh, well, he's been in there for...

two hours.

- And he said he'd be back in one.

- That's not good.

Kevin: [screaming]

Ruby: Neither was that.

- Kevin.

[suspenseful music]

?

Ruby: Kevin?

Sam: Kevin?

Ruby: Salt.

Mina: For his ritual thingy.

- Where are you?

[intense music building]

Ruby: Kevin?

- Hi!

All: Kevin!

Kevin: Ah, apologies.

I found this sweet stack of Silver Age comics,

and, well, can you blame me?

All: Yes!

- You screamed!

- For good reason, look!

Outlandish Tales Number Ten,

the first appearance of Cactus Girl!

[screams]

Mina: [gasps]

Sam: What about the evil spirits?

- Oh yeah, this place so isn't haunted.

[laughs]

Ruby: Wha-

Kevin: Ahh, you know it's...

actually got a pretty cozy vibe.

Ruby: Huh.

Wha--

you know, you're not wrong, Kevin Murphy.

I-I never thought of this place as cozy before,

but, help me out, let in some light guys.

Mina: Okay.

Ruby: Maybe I just wasn't looking at it the right way.

[thoughtful music]

?

?

- Ana.

You're not so creepy.

Somebody loved you once.

Mina: Yeah there's definitely something present here.

- But it's not evil ghosts, or phantoms,

but all the good things that happened here.

[wooden plank thuds]

[machine whirls on]

Ruby: [laughs]

Sam: Footsteps!

Ruby: [chuckling]

[whoosh]

[wind chimes]

?

[paper rustles]

-�unakook...

Apple cake!

Oh, can't you feel the spirit that this house has?

It's...

joy, warmth, family!

- What are you talking about?

Ruby: This is place is haunted, Kevin, but--

Kevin: Yeah?

- With good things.

Mina?

?

- Yeah!

You're right!

This place has a real heart.

Sam: You know what?

I can, I can see it now.

Ruby: So, all we have to do is put the right spin on it,

and find the right buyer.

Sam: And then Amanda's sweet deal

will be a done deal.

Ha!

Come on Kev!

Kevin: Yeah, uh, what's uh,

wha-what's Ruby talking about?

Mina: [laughs]

Sam: Don't worry about it.

?

Amanda: 'Kay, well, you take care!

I'll be in touch, bye!

Morning, my favorite intern.

- Morning.

You're in a good mood today.

Amanda: I think I might have just sold 600 Shadow Grove.

Ruby: Oh, are you serious?

Oh, that's fantastic!

Who bought it?

That nice couple?

Amanda: Oh, you mean, uh,

Mr. and Mrs. Lowball Looky-Lou?

Yeah, not a chance.

But, my new best friend, developer pal,

he just came in with an offer double theirs!

We are good to go!

[wolf howls]

Woo!

Pfew!

Yes!

- Well, that's still good news, I guess.

Um, one step closer to landing that sweet deal.

Amanda: Right,

and I am so glad that you are here today

because today is gonna be extra busy.

- I'm in.

Amanda: The buyer,

he wants the land more than he wants the building,

and he doesn't wanna have to deal with the permits

or the headaches around the demolition.

- Demolition?

Uh?

Amanda: Yeah, it's a conditional offer.

The building has to go.

So, we're gonna handle that part before the sale.

Ruby: Uh, wh- the building's getting torn down,

and-and we have to do it?

Amanda: Yeah, and I need you to get on that ASAP.

I need you to find me, uh, demolition firms,

and get me quotes,

and I-I will handle fast-tracking the permits.

- I-I-I guess I, uh, um.

- We did it intern.

The end of 600 Shadow Grove

is the beginning of the Wilzcek empire!

[wolf howls]

[tense music]

Yeah.

Ugh, so good!

?

[birds chirping]

?

Ruby: [sighs]

- It's still hummus or left over mac.

It's not gonna change

unless you wanna use your wish.

- [sighs]

Do buildings have souls?

[fridge door closing]

- Uh, I don't know.

I'm pretty sure they have moods at least.

Like this old place.

Daniel: Remember how it was dark and heavy,

and depressive.

- I remember.

I also remember that there was

a 35 horsepower outboard motor

on the dining room table.

Daniel: Yeah, and now look how filled with light it is.

And, if you'll allow me to be squishy for one moment.

Ruby: Mm, permission granted.

- Full of hope too.

?

- I just met a house

that kind of did the opposite.

You know, it used to be a warm, friendly place

for so many families over the decades.

- But now?

- It's neglected and forgotten.

But all that joy is still there,

it's just buried.

Now it's in bricks and rafters, you know?

- I do know.

There's no one there to appreciate it.

- And it'll get torn down.

And then, wahoo, wish granted,

but it feels really messed up.

- So, what's the wording of the wish.

- "I wish I could land a sweet deal."

But, this one's not tricky.

For once, there's no hidden meaning.

- You sure?

- Yeah, Amanda's surprisingly straight-up.

She's totally open about her goal

to land a sweet deal

that helps her build her empire.

Daniel: So what makes you so sure

it's about her career?

Is a goal really the same thing as a wish?

- So,

maybe tearing down the house feels wrong

because it is wrong!

So, I need to find out more about the house

and Amanda Wilzcek!

Daniel: Ahh!

- Oh!

Daniel: [hissing]

- Thanks Dad!

[phone buzzing]

Daniel: Hello?

Halona: [on phone] Hey Dan.

- Halona.

Halona: We got a Code 2 pending.

You'd learn a lot from a ride-along.

You game?

- I'm the Olympics.

[phone clicks]

[phone thuds on table]

Ruby: All right, we all had our assignments,

what did we learn?

600 Shadow Grove.

Mina: Built by a newcomer family

from the Baltics in the 1890s,

still a social pride in that community.

Ruby: Nice, Amanda Wilzcek!

Sam: Well, not much online

that hasn't been carefully curated

by our wisher friend,

but sometimes you learn more

from what other people say about you in online reviews.

Mina: Yelp?

Sam: Yep.

Ruby: And?

Sam: And, one of Amanda's saltiest reviews

comes from one @EmeraldFlower78.

Both: Lucy.

?

Lucy: [laughs]

Ruby: "This agent is cold-hearted.

"The Wolf?

More like--"

Lucy: "The chilly dog."

Yeah, that was me.

I am not proud of it.

Here you go!

Ruby: So, why were you so mad at Amanda?

Lucy: Was mad?

Am mad.

I reffed her to a friend,

but I didn't realize how much she had changed.

Mina: Wait, changed how?

Lucy: Oh, I don't know,

Amanda and I always got along.

Neither of us grew up well-off.

Her parents, from overseas in Europe someplace.

They came over in the 70s with nothing,

and they scrimped and saved

and they bought their house.

That's why Amanda got into real estate

in the first place,

to help families like hers

get a place to call their own.

Sam: But, that all changed?

- It's like she turned all making it to the top

instead of helping people up from the bottom.

Amanda: 'Kay, as I was saying...

Lucy: And I'm afraid EmeraldFlower78

had a little something to say about it.

Amanda: And it starts with--

Ruby: Huh, kinda surprised.

Mina: Amanda's a lot,

but she still seems like a good person,

even now.

- Maybe she still is.

She just...

forgot.

- She just forgot to be nice?

- It's not as weird as it sounds.

Sometimes you just need a reminder.

- Let me guess, and you know just how to do it?

Ruby: And I know just how to do it!

Come on!

we've got work to do back at the house!

?

Ruby: [breathing heavily]

[laughter from crowd]

Ruby: Uh, Ms. Wilczek!

Amanda: Yeah!

Ruby: The, uh, the deal with the developer,

is it done yet?

Amanda: Yep, almost,

there's just a lot of details here

to agree on.

I'm gonna be crossing t's until my eyes are crossed.

- Uh, how long till it's finished

do you think?

- I'm-a-uh, a few hours--

Oh, and then we gotta swing by the house

to have one last look-see.

And then it's gonna be my favorite time of day,

sold'o'clock!

[phone clicking]

- Mina, you and Sam ready?

Mina: [on phone] Almost.

- You have just enough time.

[phone clicks]

[exhales deeply]

?

Woman 3: It kept beeping and beeping.

I-I-I wasn't sure what to do.

Halona: You did the right thing, Mrs. Martin.

Daniel: Just needs a new battery.

- Hm?

- [sighs]

You knew, didn't you?

Halona: [chuckles]

- This isn't exactly a search and rescue

slash hazardous materials-level call.

Halona: Mmhm.

- So why bring me along?

- Because the Emerald County Volunteer Fire Department

isn't always about being an action hero.

I mean, most of the time,

this is the kinda hero we get to be.

Mrs. Martin, your alarm's all set.

- Oh, thank you.

You're a godsend.

Halona: Oh, thank you, Mrs. Martin.

Now, we're almost ready to head out.

- Oh, won't you join me in a cup of chamomile?

- Oh, well I can't, but...

?

- Sure, I'd be delighted.

- Good!

- Et voil�, a hero is born.

[tea set rattles]

Daniel: [chuckles]

?

[lightbulb squeaks]

Mina: They're here, are we ready?

- Uh, I did lighting and music,

but not the kitchen.

Mina: I did the kitchen thing,

but not the lighting and music.

Both: So we're good.

[door opening]

- Okay, first on the checklist is,

is there any furnishings that are salvageable.

[baby carriage creaks]

Amanda: Oh my!

Did th-did that j-just happen?

Ruby: Yeah, um, it happened last time too.

Drafty windows, uneven floorboards.

It's a nice carriage though, vintage.

- Yeah, just...

seems...

[whispering] oddly familiar.

[sighs]

Oh, I can't believe it.

Okay, let's focus, let's get, just get back to the list.

Ruby: No, no, no wait.

You were saying?

- What?

- Uh-- about the doll?

- Oh, uh, that-- nothing,

it's just...

Ruby: Just...what?

- [sighs]

I-I used to have a doll just like this,

handed down by my grandmother.

[sighs]

My doll's name was Dasha.

Ruby: The doll and carriage belonged to the Ryan family.

They lived here in the 1930s.

Times were tough,

so they made do with a carriage that was old,

even back then.

?

[piano starts playing]

- Oh!

Is that...

[exhales with excitement]

Ruby: [laughs excitedly]

- Is that a player piano?

- [laughs]

Amanda: Oh, wow,

I used to think those were magic

when I was a kid.

- Me too, uh, thank the Winters family,

sing-alongs every Sunday night,

and, uh, check out these records, classics.

Seriously 70s.

- 70s.

[inhales with excitement]

Wow!

Look at all this disco.

Oh, 10-year-old me

would've been all over this stuff.

Apparently I love the night life,

I love to boogie.

Ruby: [laughs]

?

- Are you kidding me?

Oh.

I had this one.

Ah, and this one too!

I actually helped my parents learn English

with books like these.

- Keep 'em.

Amanda: [sniffs]

Ruby: It'd be a shame to lose something so precious

to the violent, Watson wrecking ball, right?

- Is that apple...

pie?

[exhales]

[laughs]

- Avenoff family recipe.

- They fled here from the Baltics

in the 1890s, and scrimped and saved

until they could build this house.

- [sighing] Wow.

Ruby: They, uh, called it, �unakook."

But I swear every town in Europe

seems to have their own version of apple cake.

- "Szarlotka."

That's what my mother used to call that.

- Look, um, we wanted to make a point.

But it's one that you already know.

Everyone deserves a place to call their own.

They can build a lifetime of tomorrows.

- Nice pitch.

[sniffles]

Sounds vaguely familiar.

All: [laugh]

?

- I need to make some phone calls.

Yeah.

Thank you.

- [laughs]

?

Ruby: Looking to land a sweet deal?

Something to consider: dedication to your career?

That's great.

Passion for your work?

Can't beat it.

But Amanda figured out a whole new way

to invest in herself, by investing in others.

?

She sold the unsellable house.

But, no, she didn't get the best deal.

The Wolf didn't lead the pack in real estate this time,

and she didn't win the fancy contract either,

which means no big corporate growth

for Amanda Inc.

?

But, personal growth?

She has that all day long,

and there's not much sweeter than that.

And that, in her own way, makes her a hero.

?

[wind chimes]

And you know what else?

There's a lot of that going around.

?
