[clicking]

[inspiring, bold instrumental rises]

[♪♪♪]

Today...

we stare down the impossible.

There will be obstacles.

There will be temptation...

to give up...

to slow down...

to steer off track...

but keep your eyes on the prize...

[♪♪♪]

...and remember--

fortune...

she favors the bold.

Vivien...

Hmm.

-Susan? -[growls softly]

Start your engines.

[man] Here we go.

[Vivien] I hope you stretched this morning.

All stretched... and ready to rumble!

My money? It's on Vivien.

She's always got her eye on the prize.

Yeah, but Sue's a wildcard.

I heard she once drove 24 hours straight

to make it to a Jimi Hendrix concert.

First one on the finish line wins.

What's the prize, Mark?

One of you will find out, soon enough.

Quick rundown--

no cheating,

no shortcuts,

and only... trash talk.

Oh, and if you see a squirrel--

brake, slow down, don't swerve.

Safety first, yeah?

Yeah, got it.

On your marks...

[revving]

Get set...

[flags whoosh]

[drums beating]

[slurping]

[tweeting]

[electric motors whirring]

[residents cheering]

-Go! -Go!

[indistinct shouting]

Hope you like the view of my tail-lights!

The only view I like is the rearview,

and you're about to be in it!

[whump]

[spectators cheering]

-[motors whirring] -[cheering continues]

[cheering]

And the winner--

-[flag flapping] -[blows whistle]

...beating her personal best by a whole three seconds--

Miss Vivien Andrews, everybody!

-Yeah! -Whoo!

Yes!

[laughing]

All right!

See you all at yoga in 30 minutes.

Next stop, Daytona 500!

I could show 'em a thing or two.

I thought you'd take the high road,

and not gloat.

I never gloat!

I'll even share my winnings with you.

Hey, what are my winnings?

Extra token for casino night.

Ooh, nice!

Oops, you dropped this.

[Sue] Ohh...

Hand hugs.

[clap]

Love you guys.

Now if you'll excuse me, I gotta go to the next event.

Speaking of "next" thing...

...have you accepted it yet? -Uh, not yet.

The office needs me to let 'em know by Monday.

You have been

the interim Activities Director for almost a year now,

so take the position, make it permanent!

What's holding you back?

Still a lot of adventures out there with my name on 'em.

What do you got going this weekend?

Thinking about going camping down the coast,

maybe a little bit of fishing, thinking...

What about you two?

My granddaughter Amy's coming to visit this weekend.

And we'll be spending the whole time

talking about you behind your back.

Mm-hmm.

All good things, of course.

-All good things! -[Sue laughs]

Yeah. I'm gonna pretend I believe that!

[Viv] Aw, come on!

I can pack a jacket, too, in case it rains.

Well, don't pack too much. It's just a weekend visit.

You can decide what to pack tomorrow.

[laughs] Tomorrow?

Who do you think you're talking to?

Yeah, I know. You got everything mapped out.

I do.

You look nice! All gussied up.

I just got off work,

but I'm going on a date tonight. Look.

And actually, I'm early, so I'm in the park.

Oh, that's exciting!

Listen, I gotta run. It's-- Tonight is casino night.

Grandma, your social calendar

is busier than mine.

How do you even keep up?

By deciding

to put one foot in front of the other.

Don't let the grass grow under your feet--

no matter how soft it is!

Wise words.

Thank you for the reminder.

Have fun on your date tonight, sweetie.

Bye.

[♪♪♪]

That pistachio cake was so good.

I never would have thought to order it.

Well, when it comes to desserts,

I always follow my instincts.

First dates as well.

This was really fun.

We should do it again sometime.

Definitely.

What about next Thursday night?

Oh.

There's a festival happening downtown.

There'll be lots of food trucks and live music.

Cool!

Thursday, Thursday...

Oh.

No, I have a big client presentation

the next morning...

Oh.

...but I could do Friday the... 20th?

The 20th?

Of next month? That's like three weeks away.

I know. Sorry.

Work is so intense right now.

I'm angling for a promotion,

and my boss has me tackling a lot.

What do you do again?

I know you told me over dinner, but...

Oh, it's okay.

Senior associate of client relations

for licensing and integrations procurement

for a patent-acquisition firm.

Uh...

what does that mean, exactly?

You know what?

I could do 11:00 a.m.

between appointments on the 18th.

We could meet for a quick coffee.

Let me get back to you on that.

Okay.

[♪♪♪]

[clack]

-Ooh! -Fore!

Not much of a heads-up.

We live fast and putt hard.

[Vivien chuckles]

-Hi, Grandma! -Oh, Amy... darling!

-Hi, Sue! -Hey, baby girl.

You're just in time! You can join him.

-[Amy] Join what? -[Mark] Join in as my teammate.

These two are wiping the green with me.

And who are you?

Aside from someone with questionable aim?

[chuckles] Oh, trash talking is reserved for players only.

Are you up for it?

I am! And you're lucky.

You're looking at Timber Ridge Summer Camp's

mini-golf champion.

Oh!

-She won a trophy. -Okay.

Well, I thought I was in this for fun,

but maybe now we can chase glory together.

You're up, champ.

Thank you.

[♪♪♪]

You're the athletic coach here?

"Activities Director".

-Oh. -Mark.

Oh! My grandma's mentioned you.

You as well.

-Hi. -Hi.

[♪♪♪]

[he blows air]

Ooh.

So much for chasing glory.

I'm still getting my groove back.

[Mark] May I?

Maybe smaller, more precise moves?

So you are a coach?

Well, still an Activities Director,

but I do have two eyes.

Mm. You may want to keep those on your next swing.

You're up.

[♪♪♪]

Ooh.

May I?

Maybe smaller, more precise moves?

Yeah, I deserve that.

[laughs]

[♪♪♪]

[celebrating and cheering]

Oh, we won!

[clap]

[♪♪♪]

So... that's the "Mark" you were telling me about?

Yeah, isn't he just a delight?

-Yeah. -So tell me

about the date last night.

Oh, it was great...

great--

until I went to schedule a second date.

I don't know what happened!

We had such a good vibe,

so I went to book something three weeks from now--

Three weeks from now?

That's a hair appointment, not a date!

I have a lot of commitments to juggle.

Why don't you go out with him tonight?

Something impromptu!

You only live half an hour away.

No way! We have a whole three-day weekend

planned together, starting now.

[phone ringing]

Right after I take this call from my boss. One sec.

Sorry.

[ringing]

Hi, Phyllis.

Hi. Sorry to bother you on a long weekend,

but work never stops.

[curtly] Get rid of those.

Do you remember Alan Vespertine?

Yes!

The inventor who was hesitant

to sign over the rights to his patent?

Well, he's hesitant no longer.

Whoa! Really? That's huge.

Yes, but there's a slight hitch.

He needs someone

to walk him through this process.

Okay, that's fine.

I'm happy to call him and talk him through it.

Well, he wants someone in person.

Oh, what can I say? He's a bit eccentric.

You busy?

Now?

Mr. Vespertine is very eager to sign.

I'm with my grandmother.

I'm staying with her for the weekend.

We have a whole thing planned.

Right,

but as someone

who is about to be

in a senior management position,

you should know that...

well, sacrifices must be made.

Are you saying...?

Yes, I am saying.

It's time for your promotion, Amy--

but if you get the signature.

I hear you, Phyllis,

and this is fine.

I will figure it out.

Great.

Uh, well, uh, text me your location.

I will have a courier deliver Mr. Vespertine's contract,

and, Amy, it goes without saying,

these are very sensitive documents.

For my eyes only. Got it.

Uh, where did you say he lives?

Eureka, California?

How long of a trip is that?

Around nine hours down the coast.

I know, we had a whole weekend planned.

No, you've wanted this for so long.

You can't turn it down.

Thank you, Grandma.

Even though I don't understand what it is you do at that--

"Patent acquisitions firm."

...I do know the value of working hard for something.

Yes, and once I get this promotion,

I can rent a new apartment,

I can put some money into a savings account.

I can do all of these things

I've been putting off for so long.

How about if I go on the trip with you?

You'd come with me?

Yeah. We'll make an adventure of it.

The Andrews gals, hitting the open road?

There's just one teensy little place

I'd like to visit along the way.

How teensy?

Will it take up much time?

It's a little town called Keystone.

I visited there in 1975.

It's very special to me and I'd like to see it again.

Sounds great.

Road trip, here we come!

[♪♪♪]

There she is.

Amy...

I think we should invite Sue on the trip.

Her wedding anniversary is this week,

and it's the first one since George passed.

I think, if she came with us,

I think it would distract her and help her in a lot of ways.

I think that's a great idea. I love it!

Hey, Sue!

Hey, Viv! Hey, Amy.

Nice pace there!

You think you could take that pace

all the way down the coast of California?

California?

That'll take more steps than my daily 10,000.

What if we drive you?

We're turning my weekend stay into a girls' road trip.

Come with us!

[scoffs] You think I can just drop everything

and throw together a bag and hop onboard

without even knowing our destination?

You don't have to ask me twice!

-Whoo! -[Sue cackles]

[♪♪♪]

When we stop for a break, I can research Keystone.

I'll plan us a whole itinerary!

Well, let's just wing it.

Isn't that the freedom of the road?

"Have car, will travel."

Oh, watch out!

[tires screeching]

[bang]

Not so sure about the "will travel" part.

A tow truck will take how long?

This Keystone place-- what's the story?

Well, it's a wonderful town,

but a trip down memory lane's

not the only reason why we're going there.

Oh? Spill the tea! As the young folks say.

Well, let's just say

I want Amy to experience...

the unexpected.

[chuckles] You little sneak.

What have you got planned?

Roadside assistance is gonna take four hours.

Apparently, it's road trip season.

Oh, I--

I think I know someone that can help.

[chugging]

[exhaling with relief]

[Mark] All right.

[door bangs]

[Viv] Thank goodness you're here!

Have no fear, Mark and Mabel are here.

Who's Mabel?

[Mark] The big blue van.

-Oh. -How we all doing?

All of our limbs are intact? Sue, you okay?

[Sue] All in one piece.

Okay. So... what happened?

-I-- -Amy hit a pothole.

[Mark] Well, that's okay.

I've hit plenty in my day. Let's take a look.

Let's see here.

Oh, wow.

Looks like you got that hole-in-one after all.

Yeah.

Look, I'm gonna be honest.

I got some good news and some bad news.

Good news--

you all look great.

[laughing]

Bad news? That thing's not going anywhere.

I don't have time for this.

Well, hey...

why don't I just drive you where you need to go?

No, that's very nice of you to offer,

but we're headed down the coast.

Yeah, so was I.

Was gonna go camping and fishing for the weekend.

No, like nine hours down the coast...

to California, for the whole weekend.

Will there be time for fishing?

I can't promise that.

But we can promise fun!

-[snaps fingers] -She knows I like fun.

-I'm in! -What?

You would just change your plans like that?

Yeah. I just blow at the wind.

Like a tumbleweed?

Exactly like a tumbleweed,

and this tumbleweed's vacation begins... now.

Now? Do you even have enough stuff with you?

Got everything I need in the back.

I'm like Jack Reacher.

Oh, Jack Reacher could fix the car

with bubblegum and twigs.

I'm Discount Jack Reacher.

-[laughing] -All right, everybody get in!

I'll grab the luggage. -All right.

Don't forget my purse.

Yes, ma'am. I got you.

Okay. Welcome to the girls' trip, I guess?

Or the girls-plus- one-man trip.

[door bangs shut]

Honored.

I'll have them tow my car to the nearest lot,

and I can pick it up when we get back.

Great! Let's hit the road and see where it takes us.

Oh, that's okay.

I've already mapped out the whole drive.

Well, every good road trip needs a few detours.

[guitar theme rises]

This is gonna be so much fun!

[♪♪♪]

After you.

Watch your step.

[♪♪♪]

You guys cozy? -[door thuds]

[♪♪♪]

[changing stations, settles on easy-listening]

Oh... not a big fan of my music choice.

I'm just setting the mood.

What's better than a relaxing song

to ease us into the journey?

Maybe some music

with a sense of excitement or adventure?

Let's save the slow songs for a nice sunset drive.

Or maybe when we need to zonk out.

Hey, be nice.

[chuckles as stations change]

So, this contract that you're transporting,

what's it for?

I can't actually say, because it's highly confidential,

and I can't legally disclose it.

What are we talking about here?

Talking about... government secrets?

Is it UFOs?

I signed an NDA.

-It's UFOs. -It's not UFOs.

Blink twice, if it's a UFO.

It's not UFOs.

So this UFO-related document

is for your job as a, uh...

Senior associate of client relations

for licensing and integrations procurement.

Right... and you have fun doing that?

Yeah.

I mean, not everyone has a job

that lets them have fun all day, so...

That does sound unfortunate.

Maybe it's time we start.

What are you doing?

"World's largest ball of twine."

That sounds like fun!

No, we don't have time for twine!

We do when you rhyme.

We'll jump off the highway. We'll pick it up down the road.

We have to get to Keystone.

Viv, it's your call.

I've waited 50 years. What's a little longer?

That's my girl!

[♪♪♪]

[Mark] "Sometimes, twine needs tending.

Out for repairs."

World's largest?

More like world's most invisible!

Well, this was worth it.

Yeah, isn't it, though? Think about it!

We're a part of a select few who've been tricked by twine...

and that...

makes me feel fine.

[Viv laughing]

Well, Viv and I are gonna take photos

with the big ol' trickster.

Let's do it. Come on.

Take a few for me.

Yeah, yeah.

[chuckles]

These two are an inspiration to all mankind...

and all the other residents.

Did you always want to be an activities director?

No.

I was a park ranger before this.

It seemed like it was time to move on.

Saw the job application for this place,

and, uh, yeah, it seemed like it was a good fit.

Wasn't part of some bigger career trajectory?

No. Tumbleweed, remember?

Right.

What about you?

Did you always want to be a, um...

I'm gonna be honest--

your job title had a lot of words I don't remember,

so I'm just gonna go with "UFO specialist".

-That's okay. -Thanks.

[chuckles]

It's complicated,

but, basically,

my company looks for promising inventions,

and then obtains the patent rights

to use across various industries.

That's very cool.

Really? You think so?

Most people don't react that way when I explain it to them.

You connect the dots between unrelated fields...

kind of like how, uh...

freeze-dried camping meals

started from tech, from NASA.

Yes! Exactly.

Do you get to find the inventions?

Uh, well, no,

just 'cause I've mostly been in a client-relations role,

but I will,

once my promotion comes through.

Wow.

Sounds like you got it all planned out.

I do.

Maybe I could be a...

an invention-dot-connector person

if I leave Summerville Meadows.

Leave?

Yeah.

I'm supposed to decide by Monday

if I want to take the job more permanently.

Do you?

Well, maybe.

Maybe not.

Might be time to move on to the next thing.

[chuckles]

-[snaps picture] -Beautiful, ladies?

Cheers.

[♪♪♪]

All right, so, I've been perusing the local paper,

and I've discovered a few things.

One--

local girl named Patti won an equestrian award.

-Oh! -Mm.

Two-- new school breaks ground.

Three-- we got horoscopes.

Ooh!

-[Sue chuckles] -Take it away, Sue.

Okay, you're up first, Viv.

What's in store for this Aquarius?

"Your journey will surprise you.

An unexpected destination awaits."

"Destination"? Where could that be?

Now, me-- Gemini.

All right, let me do that.

Okay, "Take a moment to assess where you are,

and if you're ever in doubt, follow the leaves."

What leaves?

[Sue] I don't know,

but George did like to go leaf-peeping in the fall.

Yes, he did.

Sagittarius, reporting for duty.

I'll take it.

-All right. -Oh.

[clears her throat]

"A turning point lies ahead.

You must decide which path to take."

How fitting.

What does it say... about you, Amy?

Oh, I don't know.

What's your sign?

I don't believe in this stuff.

-She's a Virgo. -[scoffs] Oh.

[Sue] Well, that explains it!

Virgo and Sagittarius, like oil and water.

Oh?

Virgo--

"You shall find what you seek."

Great! That's my promotion.

Oh, look who believes in this stuff now.

-Yeah. -That one's obvious.

Don't be so sure.

You never know what the cosmic prediction

has in store. -Hmm.

All right, that's enough ganging up on Amy.

It's time we hit the road.

Thank you!

Yes. -Let's do it.

Keystone is a couple hours away,

so if we leave now, we can make it before dark.

Don't you forget your pills.

Take your coffee.

Welcome to Paradise.

Wow!

Sorry I forgot to update the reservation.

I didn't know they'd be fully booked.

Are you sure you don't want a cot in our room?

Oh, no, come on, look at this!

I get to camp after all.

Have a seat, everyone.

I've got something special for you all.

-S'mores? -Yes, ma'am.

I can't remember the last time I made these!

Be still, my heart!

So, Viv, now that we are all here...

...what is so special about Keystone?

Well...

it's the first time I fell in love.

Aw! I thought it was just a cute town

you wanted to see. -Wow.

Tell us everything.

Well, I was on semester break from college,

so I took a bus up to Seattle

to visit a friend...

and we stopped in Keystone, so...

we could all stretch our legs,

and look for a snack.

Hang on!

I thought you and Grandpa met

at a friend's party in North Carolina.

We did.

So who'd you meet here?

Teddy.

Teddy? Who's Teddy?

Teddy Robertson. Amy, keep up.

Hate to break it to you, baby girl,

but us older folks led exciting lives too.

And we still do.

[Amy] I know that.

I just always assumed Grandpa was the love of your life.

He was.

He was the great love of my life,

but Teddy was the first.

I don't know if I would've been ready

to love your grandfather if I hadn't loved Teddy first,

and that's why...

I've brought you here--

to help you.

To help me? Help me with what?

[blurts] Your entire approach to life and love!

[aghast] What? What is wrong with my approach?

Oh, where do I start?

[laughs] I love that.

Don't think you're getting off the hook, mister.

Sue, I'm scared. Hand hug?

Mark, what happened to that yoga instructor you were dating?

Or... the attorney?

I liked her!

You have let every relationship

just slip through your fingers.

And Amy, you've been so focused on climbing the career ladder,

I'm worried that you're not gonna know what's important.

So that's why, maybe, just maybe,

the two of you can learn something

while we're here.

See you in the morning.

[♪♪♪]

There's nothing wrong

with our approaches to life and love.

Oh, our approach is beyond reproach.

Just because I'm focused on work

doesn't mean I'm missing out-- I live a very full life!

You know, you seem like somebody who does.

I just met you,

but you seem like a fascinating person

with a multitude of interests.

-Thank you! -You're welcome.

I do lots of things in my free time.

I...

exercise--

-Perfect. -...on occasion.

What are we talking about? Like, uh...

cardio kickboxing?

A nice ride in the great outdoors?

It's more steady walking

in the great indoors...

on a treadmill at my desk.

Oh, okay, that's...

that's just good multitasking.

-Mm-hmm. -Right?

Also, it seems like you have a full life

outside of your office.

-Yeah. -Friends--

you probably got tons of friends who you're hanging out with.

I do.

-Yeah. -And they're so much fun.

My friend Emma had such a crazy bachelorette party

a few weeks ago.

Look at you, living it up Probably having a blast.

[chuckling] Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

I couldn't go, 'cause I had to cancel,

'cause I had a work thing.

Okay.

It looked fun.

-Probably a one-off. -Yeah.

I go to lots of other stuff.

Although, I did miss Danielle's baby shower--

Oh?

[sheepishly] ...and Jamie's birthday thing.

But that's enough about me.

Your relationships that my grandma mentioned,

they probably all ended

for perfectly legitimate reasons.

Totally, and none of them were my fault.

-Oh. -Let me just say that.

The attorney they mentioned--

for instance, she got frustrated

that I didn't book a dinner reservation

at this new hotspot on our anniversary.

Yikes. [chuckling]

That place is probably hard to get into.

Right? Oh, no. I didn't, um, I didn't try.

-Oh... -Yeah.

I liked to surprise her, you know? That's my thing.

And the yoga instructor?

She wanted me to commit to a wellness retreat,

months in advance.

And that definitely doesn't work

because you might have a work obligation.

Yeah, I mean, I got-- oh, work? No.

No, no, work-- work was cool about it.

What if I woke up one day,

and I just want to do something else?

You know, you can't--

-Like what? -Rock climbing?

You can't lock in a vibe that far in advance.

Some of those are probably my fault.

Is my grandma right about us?

She's right about most things.

[exhales] Okay.

[♪♪♪]

Here we are.

Isn't it beautiful?

It is!

And Grandma, let me just say,

your message last night was received.

Loud and unpleasantly clear.

[Viv chuckling]

Wait a minute.

There used to be a fountain right here.

This is where Teddy and I met!

Really? Here?

I was standing here

and, all of a sudden, I felt something hit my shoulder,

and I turned around, and there he was.

He was making a wish--

threw a penny in the fountain, and it hit me instead!

You were his wish?

[Viv] I don't think so!

He later told me

he wished the Cubs would win the World Series.

Was he cute?

Oh, he was such a looker!

So I got really bold,

and I asked him to dinner at the diner.

You asked him out first?

I did the same with George!

Of course you did.

I never thought of myself as bold like that.

I always kind of thought I was kind of a wallflower,

but there was something about Teddy.

Love'll do that, baby girl.

What happened at dinner?

Well... it never happened.

-[Sue gasps] -What do you mean--

-Scandalous! -...dinner never happened?

Well, we were on our way, but then...

[in awe] It's still there!

There was such beautiful music coming from inside.

Well, what are we waiting for?

[♪♪♪]

It hasn't changed one bit.

Oh, Teddy and I were so swept up in the moment,

we danced right here on the shop floor.

I fell for a man on a dance floor once...

when I was on Soul Train.

Ooh!

I tried to flirt with Myron Montgomery,

doing the Funky Chicken! [giggles]

But I slipped,

and took the whole line down with me.

-Oh, no! -I was not asked back.

[laughter]

That does not surprise me one bit,

you spontaneous queen.

If Teddy and I weren't spontaneous,

it would've ended up one dinner date,

and done!

I know what those are like.

Having an overbooked schedule doesn't really leave

a lot of room for spontaneity, does it?

I know, Grandma.

I'm gonna carve out some time for spontaneity.

I'll work it into my schedule.

It's a mindset, not an appointment!

Teddy and I realized

the power of just going with the flow

and just being in the moment,

and that one chance meeting

turned into five wonderful days.

What was the song they played? The musicians?

"I'll be Seeing You."

Teddy and I slow-danced,

and we knew the night was not gonna end.

So Grandma, where did you and Teddy go next?

Well, by the time we left here,

the diner was getting ready to close,

so we took the food to go-- we went to the park,

and had a picnic under the stars.

-Ooh. -Wow.

Well, look. The stars aren't out...

who's hungry?

Me.

[Mark] Want to hear a fun fact?

[Amy] Okay.

You have not checked your watch once today.

[amused] Really?

Yeah?

-You were looking? -Little bit.

[laughs]

Well, I guess I got lost in my grandma's stories.

I wasn't thinking about the time.

Mm.

I'll be back to real life soon enough.

Oh, come on. This is real life. Look around!

You know what I mean.

I do know what you mean. Let me ask you this.

-Mm-hmm. -Have you always been--

...Type A?

You said it, not me.

I knew what you were going for.

Yeah, I think so.

My parents sent me to great schools

and got me tutors

and gave me a schedule full of activities--

too many activities--

and they were so focused on what I could achieve,

I think I'm that way, too, if that makes sense?

It makes perfect sense.

What about you?

Why do you roll wherever the wind takes you?

[deep breath]

That tumbleweed energy...

[Amy chuckles]

Life's fleeting.

You learn that very quickly, doing what I do...

Mm-hmm.

...but it's also beautiful,

and I think it should be lived.

And you think the best way to do that

is by moving from one place to the next?

It's one way of doing it.

[Viv] Teddy had this romantic idea

of putting notes in the hollow of this tree,

with details about where and when to meet.

[sighing dreamily]

So much more romantic than texting.

I do not envy your generation.

Why did it end, Viv?

He had an apprenticeship waiting for him in Chicago,

and I was starting school in the fall.

How'd you know you were in love?

[Viv sighs]

When we were together...

I was the person I always wanted to be.

We shared things with one another

that we never shared with anyone.

That's what it felt like when I was with George.

I never had to pretend, or hide who I was.

He understood me.

And that's rare to find.

So, if you do...

...hold onto it.

[♪♪♪]

[voice cracks] This is the first trip I've taken without him.

Aw.

We all miss him.

[Amy] Sue...

[♪♪♪]

[Mark] Wait a second.

Do I...?

Oh, come on. What are you doing?

No, no, no, no. Hold on.

-No. -Here we go.

Yeah, yeah.

Was it right over here, Viv?

It's this one right here? -No, no, no!

Don't stick your hand in there!

-Why not? -What if there's a beehive?

Bee-- [snickering] Beehive? Come on.

You never know!

[♪♪♪]

[Amy] A bottle?

No!

[Viv] Did you put that there?

-Grandma! -No, I didn't put that there.

There's a note in it!

[Viv scoffs]

This is crazy.

[gasps]

[♪♪♪]

This is Teddy's handwriting.

Stop!

There's a date-- 1979.

That's four years after we met.

So he returned here and left another note for you?

[Vivien sighs]

[Amy] What does it say?

"Dearest Vivien,

I know this letter may never find you,

but I couldn't forgive myself if I didn't try."

"I'll never forget our time together here."

"If you ever read this...

come and find me."

[gasps] Wh...

"Fondly, your Teddy."

Teddy came back for you!

Are you okay, Viv?

[chuckles]

It's-- It's as if he's sitting right next to me,

after all these years.

Well, he left an address on here.

It says "Sierra Valley, Oregon" on the back.

We could go find him.

Don't you have to get to Eureka?

I mean, Sierra Valley's,

what, three hours away from here?

Yeah, and it's on the way to Eureka.

It's just a little detour.

Maybe this is... meant to be.

[exhaling deeply]

I don't know.

Grandma.

What happened to being spontaneous?

You just told me I have to, what--

"go with the moment"?

It's been so long!

We don't even know if he still lives there.

Your horoscope said

you would be led to an "unexpected destination".

Maybe this... is supposed to be it.

[Mark] Horoscopes don't lie.

[Viv chuckles]

[♪♪♪]

Well...

I would like to see him again.

[all laughing]

Better 50 years late than never, right?

[laughter]

[drums the table]

-Let's go find Teddy Robertson! -Let's go!

[♪♪♪]

So, Viv...

what do you think Teddy's like now?

I don't know!

Hopefully the same--

mischievous, funny, skipping stones on the lake!

I bet he's still a fox.

Maybe he became something epic--

like a spy who single-handedly ended the Cold War.

-Yeah! -Hardly.

He was going to work for the Army Corps of Engineers.

That sounds like a great cover story for a spy!

-Yeah. -Hey, Grandma...

what if Teddy's single?

Do you think he might...?

I don't-- anything's possible!

[laughter]

Yes.

You know, I never expected

to get with a straight-laced teacher like George.

Life is full of surprises.

You never know who you'll meet,

or how they can change your life.

[♪♪♪]

-This is it. -Wow.

[Viv sighs]

It's really happening!

-Yeah. -You nervous, Viv?

Well, I just always thought

that life gives you

a certain amount of special moments like this,

and I already had mine!

I just can't imagine there could possibly be more.

Everybody's story's got room for another chapter.

We're here for you, Grandma.

[Mark] Whatever happens.

-Okay. -You got this!

-I'm nervous. You? -[laughs] Yeah.

[giggles]

[knocking]

[♪♪♪]

Hi there. Can I help you?

Hi.

I'm looking for Teddy Robertson.

Does he live here?

Robertson? No, he doesn't.

Oh...

do you think maybe he was a prior owner?

My husband and I bought this place

a couple months ago from the Malouk family.

They were here for 15 years.

Well, I'm Lynn.

Hi. Vivian. Nice to meet you.

Well... thank you.

Um, sorry to bother you. Have a great day.

Wait.

You said Teddy... right?

Yeah, Teddy Robertson.

We did find something recently in the attic

you may want to see.

[Mark] These look like plans.

Plans for what?

[Sue] Maybe this house?

It's not this house.

I know what it is.

It's a log cabin.

Teddy always dreamed of building a log cabin,

just like the one his grandfather lived in.

He spent every summer there as a child.

It was his favorite place in the whole wide world.

Unfortunately, his family had to sell the property,

but he promised

that he would build one just like it.

Maybe he did. Maybe he moved there.

How do we find it?

Hey, look...

a maple leaf.

"Follow the leaves!"

It's a sign!

Maybe this architect's still in business.

Maybe they know where he built it.

They actually are still in business.

"Mapleton & Sons" is in downtown Sierra Valley.

[♪♪♪]

Hopefully, Vivien and Sue

found someone to help them in there.

Knowing these two ladies,

they have the whole place wrapped around their finger.

-[chuckles] -So...

what's your "log cabin"?

What do you mean?

A dream you keep tucked away.

Oh...

to finally get my promotion.

Come on. Outside of work.

I don't know.

You don't have it all mapped out?

What's your log cabin?

I'm living it.

Yeah, life's happening now.

It's good. -Hold on!

You mean to tell me

you feel totally and utterly complete?

Does that frighten you?

No! I just don't believe you.

The future's not guaranteed...

so why plan for something that may never come?

But if you could plan,

which one of these would you choose?

No rules?

No.

Let's see.

Little apartment, little A-frame...

Mm-hmm.

What the hell, just go big--

big mega-mansion, six bedrooms,

basketball court, bowling alley, a sauna.

What's your favorite?

-Of these? -Yeah.

Mm...

This one, definitely-- a Parisian-style apartment.

High ceilings, crown moldings,

and a little balcony

I can sit on to watch the bustle

of the city below.

Well...

these are way out of our price range.

Fair.

Okay, well... if we have to compromise--

Yeah?

-How about-- -...This one.

Wraparound porch to watch the sunset?

That's a big fireplace...

for the whole family to gather around.

-Too much, huh? -[laughing] Yeah.

-[phone dinging] -I came in too hot.

[laughs, then sighs]

Oh. I have to make a call.

-Yeah, sure. -One sec.

[♪♪♪]

[Viv, laughing] Don't get me started.

[Mark] You guys gotta stop. It's too much.

[all laughing]

-[sighing] -Oh, there she is!

-Amy-- -Yes.

Mr. Mapleton checked the company records.

-Mm. -They never built his cabin,

but they do know Teddy moved to Klamath Lake.

[Viv] We looked at the real estate records,

and found out

that Teddy Robertson is a property owner there.

Actually, slight change in plans.

Huh?

My boss is worried

that our client is getting cold feet.

-Oh... -So she wants me to deliver

the contract as soon as possible.

-Oh, no, Amy! -What? Oh...

I know, but it's okay.

We'll-We'll just have to split up.

-Oh-- -I'm thinking,

you three drive to Klamath Lake.

I'll find the quickest way to get to Eureka,

and then I'll head to you.

There are trains that run from here to Klamath Lake,

but not to Eureka,

so Amy, why don't you take Mabel?

We'll take the train.

Really? You'd trust just anybody with your van?

[mocks offense] Wow...

her name...

is Mabel. -"Mabel"!

Mabel.

And you're not just anybody.

[♪♪♪]

[Viv] Why don't we go to the train station, and get tickets?

You two get snacks for her drive.

I am a snack expert.

-[chuckles] 'Kay. -Did I ever tell you

about the time I hopped a train from Vienna to Paris?

-No! -No.

I met Prince.

You met a prince?

-No! -Come on.

I met Prince, the musician.

Oh, the Prince?

-Prince. -The Prince!

-That's different. -Yeah, yeah, yeah.

All right, you are full of surprises.

We'll be back in a minute. You guys stay out of trouble.

All right.

[♪♪♪]

We got some beef jerky for the protein,

banana, for the potassium...

[packet rustles]

...gummy worms,

'cause you're worth it.

This is too much. I'm driving!

I'm not hiking up the Pacific Crest Trail.

You never know how it's gonna go.

[laughs]

I want you to have everything you need.

Thank you.

You know what I really need?

What's that?

I need to get this contract signed A.S.A.P.,

so I can make it to my grandma in time

to see her meet Teddy.

Well, sounds like this contract's

become the detour...

to your real destination.

It is not. I'm just excited for her.

And if I'm driving, I need cool shades.

-Yeah, you do. -You do, too.

Oh, thanks.

Hmm.

[♪♪♪]

Bold choice.

-Timeless. -[chuckles]

[phone ringing]

Oh! Hmm?

Hi.

Surprise!

Why are you on a train?

You were supposed to wait for Mark.

Hey!

Sorry, the train was leaving the station,

and the next one wasn't for three hours!

And I saw a leaf flitting in a gust of wind!

It was a sign beckoning us to hop on board!

Look, I'll meet you at the next stop.

I'm gonna get on the train, okay?

[Viv] No, you won't!

Listen, we've been taking care of ourselves

ever since you were in diapers.

And we promise we'll check in.

Sue, remember to take your pill.

Yes, yes! And you two keep each other company.

And Mark! Ooh, boy...

you've got hearts in your eyes. [giggles]

-[Amy sighs] -All right.

I think we just got played.

They grow up so fast.

Looks like it's you and me.

Let's hit the road, Maverick.

Are you gonna tell me what's in

this top-secret contract we're transporting?

Do you really want to know?

Yes!

Okay.

It's early-stage technology for flying cars.

I knew it. I knew it!

No, it's not, Mark! It's not flying cars.

Don't play with my hopes and dreams.

Why would it be flying cars?

How exciting would that be? Imagine that!

No.

Where'd you get this thing, anyway?

Mabel... was passed down from my grandpa Leonard.

-Really? -He bought her in, uh...

'64.

He was sweet on a girl named Cecille,

and he wanted to drive her west, to see the ocean.

Was that your grandmother?

Yeah. They were engaged a year later...

and he took her all over the U.S.,

camping and fishing

and exploring.

The dream.

Yeah, it was the dream.

I was even around for some of it.

Yeah?

They raised me after my parents passed.

Yeah.

We went everywhere together.

Taught me everything they knew.

The love a grandparent can show you.

There's nothing like it, is there?

No.

No, there is not.

Oh, oh! Keep it there.

Yeah. -[light pop song plays]

You're not gonna change it?

It sets the mood.

Are we agreeing on music?

What... has become of us?

[♪♪♪]

Okay.

[♪♪♪]

And this is your room.

Thanks. Oh--

My name is Smith.

Let me know if you need anything at all,

and enjoy your romantic weekend getaway package.

Our "romantic" what, now?

Amy... I had no idea you felt this way about me.

No, no, no. This is a mistake.

There's no way. I didn't book this.

"Dear Amy Andrews--

We hope you enjoy your romantic weekend getaway."

This is a mix-up. We should tell reception.

I don't know. Should we?

What do you mean?

I mean, we're here.

I can sleep on the sofa bed.

It seems comfortable. Ooh...

starlight dinner's included.

What are those? Chocolates?

Yeah, we got strawberry liqueur,

some cherry situation, and the hazelnuts...

Wait.

We can stay.

Yeah.

What other flavors you got?

[phone chimes]

[scoffing softly]

Yeah.

[deep breath]

[knocks]

[♪♪♪]

Wow... you look nice.

Thanks!

This is my business-lady casual

that "effortlessly transitions to stylish evening wear".

Okay. I went downstairs to the shop and bought...

a shirt.

[laughs]

I always keep a change of clothes on me

for the occasional surprise work-slash-dinner meeting.

Or the occasional

mistakenly-booked starlight dinner?

[laughs] You never know!

You never know. Shall we?

Yeah.

[laughs] Thanks.

-Let's go. -Okay.

[♪♪♪]

They really weren't exaggerating

with this whole starlight-dinner thing.

-It's stunning. -Mm-hmm.

Oh...

my grandma sent me this picture.

They've made it to the lake.

They're gonna knock on Teddy's door tomorrow.

These two really are a testament

to the fact that the adventure never ends.

No.

My grandpa Leonard used to say

that you can't let the grass grow under your feet.

My grandma always says that.

I've never heard her use that.

-Yeah. -I mean, that's the reason

I'm always looking for the next thing.

See, I always took that expression to mean

you can't wait for things to come to you--

you have to go after them.

Interesting.

Do you think Viv ever expected

to be reunited with Teddy?

I don't know.

I'm just so excited to be there,

to see their first moment together.

You think love's in the cards for them again?

Maybe.

Yeah... yes.

Sounds like you're rooting for it.

Of course! How could you not?

There are couples at Summerville Meadows

that have been together their whole lives.

So sweet.

Yeah, but my favorite--

...the residents who meet there...

...in the clubhouse or at art class,

and you catch 'em holding hands at bingo, like teenagers.

Yeah.

There's no age limit to falling in love.

Not if you stay open to it.

To starlight.

-[clink] -To starlight.

[♪♪♪]

Well... big day tomorrow.

We should probably get to sleep.

Agreed.

Good night.

Good night.

Hey, Amy?

Yeah?

You got any more of those chocolates?

[Amy laughs]

No! You ate them all.

I don't feel good about it.

If only I was a good planner, like you.

Yeah.

Hey, Mark?

Yeah?

I'm really glad you came with me.

Me too.

[♪♪♪]

So...

how was your bed of roses?

Oh, it's for the best I don't tell you.

I think you'll be jealous.

[giggles]

The sofa wasn't great. Thank you very much.

Oh, look! What a pretty bird.

That's a Western Bluebird.

Indigenous tribes thought spotting one

symbolized good fortune.

Huh! Must be our lucky day.

[Mark] Yeah.

Do you like birds?

I like chicken.

[laughs]

Thank you very much.

Enjoy the rest of your journey.

-Thank you. -Enjoy your day, sir.

[Amy] Eureka's two hours out.

We get Vespertine to sign the contract,

and then we beeline to meet Sue and my grandma

for when they knock on Teddy's door.

I love it!

Can you do me a quick favor, though?

-Yeah. -Can you text Sue

and remind her to take her pill for me, please?

Activity director and nurse?

That's impressive.

You always remind her to take her pill?

Yeah, if not in person, then by text.

She ditched you for a cross-state train caper.

Maybe she doesn't want constant supervision.

Yeah, you're probably right.

I feel a responsibility.

Why?

Doesn't matter.

Your whole breezy, carefree persona--

I think you care more than you let on.

Don't tell nobody.

What? -Nothin'.

It's just not every day

you meet people who look out for others

without needing credit for it.

[♪♪♪]

[phone rings]

Oh, it's my boss.

[clears throat]

Hi.

Amy, uh...

are you on track to meet Mr. Vespertine?

Yes, I'm on track. I'm almost there.

Excellent. Oh, and, um, the promotion--

it won't be like the one I promised last year,

when we had the--

...The hiring freeze and the restructuring? Okay.

This time, it will be a done deal.

Great. Thank you.

[♪♪♪]

What? -Nothing.

Don't "nothing" me.

Your face has a whole lot happening.

That's my face.

-It's doing things. -I was born with this face!

Look.

People work,

and they wait their whole lives

for somebody else to give them their big break,

and if that break doesn't come,

they are left wondering why.

Maybe, but my situation is different.

Maybe...

but I saw it, with Grandpa Leonard.

He worked 42 years for the "golden retirement"

that his company promised him,

and when the day finally came, they filed for bankruptcy.

All of that planning...

nothing to show for it.

[Mark] You got this!

Thank you!

[Mark] Vespertine, here we come!

Okay.

Where is it?

Where's what?

The briefcase!

The briefcase? What, the--

the bellhop didn't put it back there?

Well, he was supposed to, but it's not here!

-Okay. -No-no-no-no-no--

No, no. Don't panic.

This can't be happening.

[Mark] Let's not panic.

Hi, this is Amy Andrews.

I lost a piece of luggage this morning.

Oh, you do? Okay!

Driftwood Bay?

Yes, please, send me that info. Thanks.

So? What's the deal?

The bellhop put the briefcase in the wrong car this morning.

Some woman named Allison has it,

and she left her details with the hotel.

You're kidding me. Okay, where is she?

Driftwood Bay?

It's... an hour from here.

Okay.

Oh, is that--

[Amy] Oh, shoot!

Is that-- [grunting] Oh!

-That's Vespertine! -Yep.

Oh, my gosh.

This throws off the whole schedule.

I'm not going to make it to my grandma in time.

-Okay, that's okay. -No, I--

It's okay.

Let's just take a minute.

[sighs]

[starts laughing]

Are... we laughing?

We're laughing!

-We're laughing? -We're laughing.

Okay.

I can roll with this.

You can roll with this!

-I can. -Yes.

Grandma and Teddy can have their moment,

and we will get to them as soon as we can.

-Love that! -We'll go,

we'll pick up the briefcase,

and hurry back,

and Vespertine will never know we were here,

and my boss won't know

that I let the confidential contract

go on a joyride in a stranger's trunk.

It's gonna be great!

Who are you, and...

what have you done with Amy?

I don't know, but let's go.

-Okay. -Okay.

All right, Mabel! Don't fail us now.

[Amy] Go, go, go! Floor it!

[♪♪♪]

Oh, what's with all the fancy threads?

I don't know.

[busy chatter, indistinct]

[gasps] Mark, look.

-An engagement party? -Honestly,

at this point, nothing could shock me.

Right?

She said to call when we arrive.

Okay, give her a call.

Voicemail.

Well, you know what this means?

Are you gonna let me crash an engagement party?

-Sure. -Yeah, I think I saw her just--

Oh, it's great seeing you.

-Uh-- -Let's go.

Who are you?

I think that's my jacket!

He's right. We need a backstory.

-Backstory? -Yes.

You're a botanical scientist in search of a rare flower

that only blooms once a year in the Amazon.

Huh?

Stay with me. "Yes, and..."

[laughing] Okay. Yes, and...

you are a riverboat fisherman I hired

to help me find it.

Yes, and...

I overstated my expertise

because I wanted to impress you,

and we took a wrong turn in a riverbend,

and ended up here.

From Amazon to California?

[laughs] That's quite the wrong turn.

Are we still looking for the flower?

Yes, and...

you're realizing it's all about the journey,

not the destination.

[laughs]

Allison. Yes.

Hi, sorry. Do you know Allison?

Have you seen her? Curly hair?

[Allison] Hi, everyone! I'm Allison.

I'm Jaclyn's bestie. [chuckles]

Who would've guessed her canceled flight

would lead to meeting Mikey at the airport bar,

and then... lead us all here?

But that's love.

It shows up when you least expect it.

So...

let's toast to Jaclyn and Mikey--

to finding the unexpected.

-Cheers. -[crowd] Cheers!

To finding the unexpected.

Oh... that's Sue.

Hey, Sue!

Did you find Teddy?

[Viv] Well...

we found a Teddy Robertson...

But it was the wrong one.

This Teddy's 35.

He moved to Klamath Lake last year,

and... he bought this vineyard!

You're kidding me!

And you know what the name of his company is?

"Aspen Arch Industries".

Aspen-- like the leaf.

Another sign!

-Right. -This is a wild-goose chase!

It's all right.

He-He's out there somewhere!

Of course he is.

We just have to find the right Teddy Robertson.

Sorry, did you say "Teddy Robertson"?

-Yeah. -Yeah.

I know someone with that name.

He had a cabin next door to my family's summer home.

-A cabin? - Cabin?

Who said "cabin"? Who's that?

Uh, hey, uh, I'm Mikey.

-Hey! -Mikey! Congratulations!

-Congratulations. -Thanks. Thanks.

Yeah, the-- the Teddy I knew, he had a log cabin.

He taught me to skip stones when I was a kid.

Was he a big Cubs fan?

Huge! It's all he talked about.

It's gotta be him! I know it!

Where was this cabin?

[Mikey] Star Valley.

It's a... three-hour drive from here.

Last I heard, I-I think he's still there.

This feels like now-or-never!

I have investor meetings all day,

but I could have my driver take you there.

-Oh! -This is great.

This gives us enough time to get the signature

and make it to you.

The adventure continues.

There's no time to waste!

We're back in business, baby!

-Yes! -Whoo!

We're back in business, baby!

Oh, hey. Thanks, man. Appreciate that.

-Sure. -Yeah.

[Amy] Beautiful party.

Oh, thanks.

-Let's go! -Wait, who are you?

[together] Friends of Allison!

Huh.

[♪♪♪]

[Amy] I'm so relieved

that the Teddy they found was the wrong Teddy.

-Yeah. -I just want to be there

for the moment when they reunite.

Sometimes, things have a way of working out, you know?

Yeah. I could've never pulled this off without you.

Oh, come on. Yeah, you could have.

No.

I just wish there was something I could do to help you.

Like what?

Seeing that you are perfect

for this job at Summerville Meadows.

You're so good at it!

You should take the offer.

It's rare to find someone

who cares this much about other people.

Think about it.

[♪♪♪]

Okay, let's wrap this thing up.

I'll be here waiting...

daydreaming about what this mystery contract is.

[laughs]

I'll never tell!

-Good luck. -Thanks.

[sighs]

[cell phone ringing]

Hey. You didn't reach Teddy yet, did you?

No, there's been a delay.

I don't want you to worry, but Sue fainted.

What?

Yeah, we stopped at urgent care,

just to have her checked out.

Is she okay?

The doctor seems to think so,

but he wants to run some tests, just to make sure.

I'll keep you posted if I find out anything.

Yeah. Thanks, Viv.

I'm sorry.

I'm right here. Whatever you need.

Thanks.

[knocking]

[sternly] Who is it?

Amy Andrews.

Oh! Come in, come in.

[chuckling nervously] Hi.

Forgive the suspicion.

I had some lookie-loos snooping around earlier.

Yes, you can never be too careful

when it comes to your inventions.

Speaking of--

I have your contract here.

All we need is your signature, and we're good to go.

Oh, well, I'm sorry,

I'm-I'm afraid I can't give it to you.

What? Why not?

Not yet, at least.

You see, I have some questions.

Oh, okay. Well, I'd be happy to answer those.

Okay. Uh...

Ginger oolong or mint matcha?

That's your question?

Oh, no. I'm offering you tea.

Oh.

See, my questions might take a while.

I hope you don't have anywhere you need to be.

I actually-- I do have somewhere to go.

I have competing offers on the table.

I'll probably go with the oolong.

It keeps me focused.

Would you excuse me for just a moment?

I'm gonna make a quick call.

Is it done?

Turns out there are competing offers,

so if we want the patent-- -No, Amy.

We need his advanced wine-storage technology.

Our clients in the food and beverage industry

will pay top dollar.

It's just he has a lot of questions

about the contract, and I really have to--

Amy!

[exhales tensely] Answer them.

Okay.

[♪♪♪]

What's wrong?

I'm sure Sue will be okay.

I don't know that,

and I do not know if she took her pill--

but I do know I did not remind her.

[phone beeping]

That's Viv. Okay.

Test results are in.

Doctor gave her the all-clear.

[exhaling with relief]

That's such great news.

See? Everything's fine.

She's gonna be great.

Yeah.

We should go.

Um... well...

I can't.

I need more time,

'cause Vespertine needs me

to talk him through the contract.

I thought you wanted to be there

for your grandma's moment.

I do, but I'm so close.

I know she'll understand.

I mean, of course, she'd understand.

That's the point. Amy...

...is this a mirage?

What do you mean?

The promotion-- all of it.

Look, you are obviously chasing something,

and that's a beautiful thing,

and probably the right thing, but...

do you know when it's gonna be enough?

Enough to let life happen?

Because if I have learned anything,

doing what I do,

this... is not what you're gonna remember.

It's the people--

it's the friends, it's the family,

it's the in-between moments, it's the little things.

That is what you're gonna carry with you

for the rest of your life.

I've given up so much for this already.

If I don't get the promotion, what else do I have?

Everything.

You have more than you know.

Maybe I can get through it quickly.

Okay, I can't wait. I gotta go. Sue needs me.

Well, Sue is fine, Mark!

Sue is not fine.

George made me promise that I would take care of Sue,

that I would not let anything happen to her,

and I have broken that promise.

I'm not built for this job,

but I do know I need to be there for this moment.

-Mark-- -Are you coming?

I... can't.

But I'll catch up with you.

Okay.

-[doors thudding] -Amy?

Viv said not to let the grass grow under your feet

waiting for life to come to you.

Your grandma...

smartest woman I know.

And this section, here,

about ownership transfer and limited legacy...

...Land-usage rights.

Yes, um, what that means is--

-[phone ringing] -Oh, excuse me.

One moment.

Hi.

Yes?

I'm sorry, I won't be able to make it.

Well, I-I'll come to Izzy's next recital.

Yes, I know, I said that the last time.

My granddaughter, Izzy,

is having her ballet performance this evening,

and I doubt she'll remember I wasn't there.

Now-- section four.

You should go to that recital.

What?

I'm sure your granddaughter would love to look up

and see you there in the audience.

You should go.

Perhaps that's true,

but I'm surprised you'd suggest it.

Some things in life are too important to miss, right?

That's what matters.

Well, how about this?

We continue our discussion on the drive there,

and then I'll make my decision.

You know, if this were a different point in my life,

I would have said yes, absolutely, but...

I-I can't.

So after all this, you'd--

you'd put your company's deal into jeopardy?

I don't want to put the deal in jeopardy.

It's just I do have

an important personal obligation,

and...

...I'm done missing out.

[♪♪♪]

You left without getting his signature?

I'm sorry, Phyllis. He kept asking me to stay,

and I had somewhere I needed to be.

Amy! That is highly unp--

-[notification chimes] -Oh... sorry.

Hold on for a moment, please.

[astonished chuckle]

I just got notification that Vespertine signed.

I'm glad.

Whatever you did worked!

I guess congratulations is in order, Amy,

or should I say...

new VP of Licensing?

Thank you...

but I don't know if I want the promotion.

Excuse me?

Well, I just know it'll come

with more time commitments, more demands,

and... for what?

I don't want to compromise my personal life anymore.

I don't know what to say.

I do.

I want to take the vacation days that I've saved

and use them to just think about what I want next.

But--

It may not be this job offer,

or even this... company.

But Amy--

Phyllis, I am happy to discuss this with you

at a later date,

but right now I do have to go.

I need to put my life first.

Well, uh...

the decision is yours.

Enjoy your well-earned vacation time,

and when you get back,

we can discuss your decision.

Okay, thank you.

Uh-oh. Nothing to Star Valley for a few hours.

[♪♪♪]

Hey!

[♪♪♪]

Hi! [chuckles]

I was hoping you'd be here.

Do you remember me from yesterday?

Yeah! From the music shop.

I just saw your poster.

You're on the road, right? Headed south?

Playing tonight in Star Valley.

I thought so.

Do you have room for one more?

For you? Of course!

[Viv] I can't believe we're finally here!

[Sue chuckling]

Can't keep any of us down for long.

-Yeah. -Evidently not.

I am so sorry

that I was not there when you needed me.

Oh, Mark...

you have been!

And George would've been proud of you

for keeping your promise.

You know about that?

He couldn't keep a secret.

Not when he knew it would make me smile.

I was a little lonely at first

that George wasn't with me for this,

but you made me realize I'm not alone,

and George has been with me all along...

in every detour,

in every scenic view...

in every leaf.

[sighs]

Yeah.

Happy anniversary, my dearest Sue.

[Mark] Happy anniversary, Sue.

[Sue] Thank you, love.

I just wish Amy could be here.

[Sue] Yeah.

[gasps] You're here!

I couldn't miss this!

[♪♪♪]

Oh!

[♪♪♪]

Well...

I guess...

I guess it's time.

[♪♪♪]

You got this, Viv.

Yeah.

[♪♪♪]

[knocking]

[♪♪♪]

Vivien?

[♪♪♪]

Hi, Teddy.

[Viv] I can't believe

you held onto this all these years!

[chuckles]

[Teddy] I still can't believe you found me!

Well, it turns out you're not the only Teddy Robertson.

[chuckles] Yeah.

Do you remember our time together?

I remember everything.

I'm so sorry it took me so long to find that letter.

Vivien, you have nothing to apologize for.

You know, sometimes, I wondered,

what would've happened if you appeared again...

but I know what happened when you didn't.

I met Muriel...

a few years later.

We built a beautiful life together.

She passed three years ago.

I'm so sorry.

My Charlie passed as well.

Look at us then.

-[Viv] Yeah. -[Teddy] Yeah.

-So young! -[laughing]

-We still are! -Hey!

[both laughing]

[♪♪♪]

Spoke to my boss...

...my soon-to-be former boss, maybe.

You quit?

Mm... not yet.

But I told her I need to take some time

to think about my next steps.

I knew you had it in you.

You may have helped me see it.

I think you might have it in you, too.

I hope you'll reconsider the job at Summerville Meadows.

[sighs]

It's not the right fit.

Mark...

you offered to help us at the start of this trip

without a second thought.

You danced with my grandma

to bring her memories to life.

You made Sue's anniversary weekend so special.

You did all of that...

and you make the people at Summerville Meadows

so happy,

not just because it's your job,

but because you love them and they matter to you.

[♪♪♪]

[Viv] Amy?

Teddy wants to meet you.

Have fun.

[♪♪♪]

[Amy] So what's it like,

reconnecting after all these years?

Oh! Big surprise, but a welcome one.

Yeah.

Although, I think the biggest surprise is that--

...Is that life can still find ways to surprise you.

[both laughing]

And now?

Well, we realized that...

the brief time that we spent together

enriched our lives in so many ways,

and left us with so many beautiful memories.

Mm, yeah, and those memories

just made that time together more meaningful.

[Viv] Yeah.

So how about...

this time, we stay in touch?

Better than a bottle in a tree!

[laughs] You got that right!

I'm so glad I was here for this.

Amy, you know this journey wasn't just about me.

I know. The reason we went to Keystone--

I'm not talking about Keystone.

I'm talking about everything that came after that.

I know.

[sighs]

I caught the tail-end of your little conversation.

Eavesdropper.

I was like you...

always moving, from fear of losing,

but, one day, I realized

that things that served you once...

...Don't serve you forever.

Exactly.

Now... you made George a promise.

It's time you made me one.

Don't hesitate at that fork in your road

a moment longer.

I know you've had to love and let go

of more than most--

[Mark's breath catches]

...but we are given the path that only we can walk...

...and nobody walks it quite like you.

Nobody.

[♪♪♪]

Thanks.

Thank you.

[♪♪♪]

Hi...

Hi.

[deep breath]

I'm gonna take the job.

-Really? -You were right.

I, um, didn't see it, but I wasn't think--

I want to show you something.

[♪♪♪]

[plop]

[♪♪♪]

Just enjoy the moment.

[exhales happily]

[♪♪♪]

Thanks for this.

We took a few detours, but we got here.

They weren't detours.

Everything led us where we're supposed to be.

And where is that?

[♪♪♪]

[♪♪♪]

[♪♪♪]

If I'm sticking around...

I should probably find a better place.

Thinking... a mansion?

Six bedrooms, maybe pool...

-[laughs] Bowling alley? -...indoor basketball court.

Yeah.

You want to help me look in a couple weeks?

How's Tuesday?

So soon?

Why wait?
