So.

What do you think?

You want us to spend a whole week at camp?

We're so unprepared. Have you even made sure

our sunscreen isn't expired?

We can always stop by the store on the way.

Dad, wait till I'm finished.

Come on, Ben. Don't you want to make some new friends

before middle school starts?

Will friends help me get into the best cooking school?

I hear you. But what if I told you

this is not your normal everyday kind of camp?

Check this out.

Wait. A cooking camp?

Are you serious?

Yeah. Cool, right?

Yeah!

Hannah, Noah, breakfast will be ready

in exactly two-and-a-half minutes.

Mom, tell me you're joking right now.

Oh, come on. There's this whole competition,

and the winning family gets their recipe

published in a real cookbook.

What's wrong with staying home?

Hannah, please, bring your brother back to reality

before he spends all day on that thing?

Not until you come back first, Mom.

I went to this camp with Grandma when I was about Hannah's age,

and it changed my life.

But it says you have to compete with the whole family.

Yeah, and?

You can't cook.

Hey, I make a mean mac and cheese.

Dad, we've been over this.

If it goes in the microwave

it isn't cooking.

I'm sure you could do this blindfolded.

I mean, you're like a virtuoso.

You're the Mozart of cooking.

Mozart was four, Dad.

I'm more like Chopin.

That's what I'm talkin' about.

Okay, so, when do we leave?

I told the boys at the site I'm gonna be gone all week.

Wait. Like, this week, this week?

Dad, are we leaving today?

Yeah.

Oh, my God, we gotta prepare right now.

We need to bring pans, pots, knives.

Spices. We need spices!

Whoa, buddy, I'm sure they're gonna have all that stuff there.

A master craftsman is never without his tools.

I'll get the bags from upstairs,

you start packing the pans, okay?

And clean that one.

What do you think we'll make? Maybe a risotto?

Or a wellington? We have to be ready for anything.

Okay, I want you to go upstairs and get packed.

It takes 43 minutes to get to the camp.

We need to be there for 11:46,

so that gives us enough time

for a 10 minute pit stop along the way.

There she is.

The spreadsheet mom.

I'm taking that as a compliment.

Trust me, guys, we are gonna have so much fun at...

Camp Evergreen?

I don't know about this.

Not exactly giving Michelin-star vibes, Mom.

It's not supposed to, honey.

It looks medieval.

Do you think our TV will have an HDMI port?

Doubt it, dude. Don't even get a signal here.

That's because this week is about connecting with nature

as a family. Hm?

I thought it was about cooking.

It can be about many things.

Come on!

Let's go into the lodge and check in.

Wow, would you look at this place.

Kids, isn't this cool?

Hi, how are you?

Good morning.

You here to check in?

Uh... Ms. Allison!

I remember you!

I can't believe you're still here.

Course I am. As long as the Evergreen is still here,

I'll be standing here with it.

Now, let's get you and your family signed in.

What's the last name?

Rollason.

- Rollason. - Mm-hmm.

It's Monica Rollason.

You don't remember me?

My mom and I won the cook-off back in '99.

Don't take it personally.

We've had over 40 years of champions.

Can't remember them all.

Although, I do remember the dish.

Piri-piri chicken and Caesar salad? Hm?

Are those your kids over there?

Give it back, you little twerp!

They just, uh, need to get a little acclimated.

You know kids. Am I right?

Here's your key. Kids are next door meeting counselors.

Orientation is tonight. I will see you there.

Noah!

Hey!

Thank you. Okay.

I am heading over to the cabin.

You two can come along when you're ready

for all of this. Bring all of the bags.

Fox Cabin.

Okay.

Oh, my God. I've got a bar!

Okay.

Well, that's annoying.

Oh.

Maybe I have some...

Yes, I do.

Ah...

Hey. Hi, um... everything okay?

Yeah, yeah. Oh, sorry. I was just

working on a stiff lock.

I didn't mean to encroach on your turf or anything.

"My turf," meaning what?

Well, aren't you a camp counselor?

No, I'm not a camp counselor.

Are you with maintenance?

No. Why would I be with maintenance?

Do most people walk around with cans of that?

If you don't mind

I would just really like to get into my cabin.

- Your cabin? - Mm-hmm.

So, you think this is your cabin?

Fox Cabin?

Oh...

It's a silly system that goes back to when

the camp was first founded over 100 years ago.

So, the cabins aren't built in a linear fashion,

and instead of numbering them, they named them after animals.

Hence, the fox.

My cabin.

Wow! That was a very detailed

and mildly unsolicited explanation.

But there's only one problem.

My name is Adam Fox.

And I'm pretty sure that this right here,

is the adorable face of a chicken.

Mm, voila!

Hm.

So, you're the competition.

Uh, yeah. I guess so.

And judging by the fact that that's your cabin over there

with the cute fox face, also your neighbor.

I'll see you around...

Monica.

Monica.

I knew that.

Oh, no, my phone! I'm so...

Sam?

Hannah? I didn't know your family came to Evergreen.

Yeah, that makes two of us.

- Shoot, let me get that for you. - No!

I mean, no, thank you. I got it.

All right. No harm, no foul.

Sam?

Hey, I gotta go, but for what it's worth,

I'm glad there's someone else I can hang out with this week.

- I'll catch you later? - Yeah.

Catch you later.

Cool.

So, what are we gonna do first?

Maybe go check out the lake before dinner?

See if you can meet some kids your age to hang with?

Competition starts tomorrow.

And I want to prepare.

"Plan for what is difficult when it's easy,

then do what is great when it's small."

You know who said that?

Sun Tzu in The Art of War.

What, are we going into battle now?

Starting tomorrow, we are.

And I want to focus. Okay?

Right, right. Copy that.

Focus.

So, your, uh, your teachers told me

that you kinda clammed up this year.

Said you mostly sat alone during lunch.

They even mentioned you had a little outburst

on the last day of school.

Look, Ben, I

know you'd rather talk about this kind of stuff with Mom.

But middle school is coming up, buddy.

And it's gonna be a big change.

I want you to have a good experience.

Urfa biber.

You know what that is?

Is that some new rapper?

What about Chernushka, Ancho powder, fennel pollen?

- They're all spices, Dad. - Buddy, come on.

Competition starts tomorrow. So, we gotta start studying now.

- Okay? - Yeah, yeah.

Sure, okay.

Why bother preparing?

Didn't you and grandma use a book

to crush the competition when you were a kid?

We didn't crush the competition

mm, we wiped the floor with them.

It never hurts to be too prepared.

Noah! Come over here; Look at this.

So, this is the recipe your grandma and I made

our first night here at camp.

It won us the challenge and ultimately

became one of my favorite recipes in here.

"Today I learned what victory tastes like."

Did grandma write that?

No, that one was me.

What's wrong with her?

Um... honey?

Hm?

Everything okay?

Yeah. Everything's perfect.

Camp is perfect.

Sam is perfect.

Um... Noah.

Keep an eye on your sister, okay?

I'm gonna go to the vending machine

and get her an energy drink.

Pitiful.

Monica Rollason. As I live and breathe.

Louise.

Stevenson.

I didn't see your name on the check-in list.

That's because it wasn't there.

It's Louise Moser now.

- Oh, wow. That is some ring. - I know, it's ridiculous.

I asked John to get me a rock to show off.

Poor man went and got me a boulder.

How 'bout you? Anyone special in your life?

Um, not worth mentioning.

Oh. I'm sorry.

It will happen for you.

It's just a matter of time.

Right.

Speaking of time, I'm running late.

But hey, isn't this fun?

Twenty-five years later and you and I are finally

about to have our friendly little rematch.

- Oh. - But this time, I plan to win.

- Mm. - Bye now.

Bye now.

Get the flashlight on.

Yeah, I'm trying.

Remember your Sun Tzu quote about planning ahead?

What about it?

I didn't bring any spare batteries.

Well, well, well, look who it is.

Well, if it isn't my favorite neighbor.

We were just heading to dinner.

In the pitch black, huh? How's that working out for you?

We're having some technical difficulties.

Mom, can we just get moving already?

They can come with us.

Of course, yeah.

The more, the merrier.

The more, the merrier.

Hey, I'm Noah. I'm kinda like my team's secret weapon.

Hot dogs!

Why don't you go join him.

Seems like a cool kid.

Okay.

Scoping out the competition?

Mm. You could say that.

Over there, I'm thinking that that's the Gomez Family.

Huh.

Saw their name on the sign up sheet. So...

And them?

Mm, the Mosers.

Now, if anyone is gonna be a threat,

it's them.

- Is that right? - Mm-hmm.

What about us?

Well, I'll believe you can cook when I see it.

Handyman.

Hey. Is that Sam?

Yeah.

- It totally is. - Hey, keep your voice down.

I'm going to say hi!

No, you're...

Noah...

I'm gonna get...

Oof. I feel for ya.

It's a struggle to manage one.

He hasn't hit puberty yet.

So, you're a single parent too then?

Is it that obvious?

I mean, I know I don't exactly radiate good housekeeping vibes.

As long as you aren't boiling hot dogs

on a stove every night, I think you're doing okay.

Don't knock 'em till you try 'em.

Now that I've got your attention,

good evening, campers.

Over the next few days,

you'll be competing in various challenges.

And you'll be scored on how well you do.

At the end of camp, the family with the highest score

will win a very special prize.

They will get a recipe of their choice

in the Campfire Cookbook.

I know.

I can't think of better bragging rights

than to have your recipe added to the list

of illustrious winners.

And to sweeten the deal this year,

we're also giving away six months of free groceries

delivered straight to the winner's doorstep.

Cook-off starts tomorrow, so get some sleep.

Good luck, campers.

And on that note, I think we're gonna head back.

- Good night. - Good night.

Um, could I borrow one of your flashlights?

Please?

Sure.

See you later.

Louise Stevenson.

Mm-hmm?

Is she like your nemesis?

She is not my nemesis.

She's just this rather annoying spoiled young girl at camp

who turned into a rather annoying spoiled grown woman

who I'm dead set on beating today.

Sounds like your nemesis.

She's not my nemesis. Hm.

Okay. Where is your sister?

I told her we were leaving at 11:46 on the dot.

She got ready early.

I think she's waiting outside.

Hannah? Really?

Since when has your sister ever been early for anything?

Ready to leave?

What? Just really pumped for the competition.

Okay.

Yeah. That's the spirit.

Go, Team Rollason.

Sus. Real sus.

Isn't this so fun?

Just you wait.

Ms. Allison. Thank you.

Grab an apron.

Hello, Monica.

Mm.

Just wanted to say, good luck today.

Okay. What's the catch?

No catch.

- Mm-hmm. - Just, uh

just trying to lead by example.

Show my son some good sportsmanship.

With all due respect, Ms. Monica,

we're gonna make mincemeat out of you.

Come on, Dad.

It's a work in progress.

- Oh. - Sorry.

- Clearly. - Okay, everybody,

follow me, this way. We're going to the competition area

just over through here.

- Follow me. - It's gonna be so much fun.

It's gonna be great.

Come on in, families.

There you go. Come on. Right up here in the front.

- Don't be shy. - Let me adjust this.

Everyone's apron should be on.

Get ready.

Welcome to Camp Evergreen's Campfire Cook-off.

We'll be starting each challenge here.

And then, you'll race to your stations to begin cooking.

Now, for today's challenge,

you'll be cooking a steak in a cast iron pan.

What you make as sides is up to you.

You can pick any foods from the shared pantry.

But after one hour, all the food had better be made in that pan.

Got it? For the first challenge,

each team will pick a leader.

It's all you.

And there's a catch.

They won't be allowed to cook.

- Only delegate. - Ooh.

They'll choose the recipe,

tell which ingredients to pick and how to prepare them.

Now, you'll have five minutes to choose a recipe,

five minutes to grab what you need from the pantry.

Understand?

I want a nice clean fight.

No cheating,

no sabotage.

I'll be wandering past each station to keep an eye on you.

Your time starts now!

If we want to beat the competition,

we need to come out of the gate strong.

I'm talkin' fillet mignon with a chimichurri sauce.

And we need to bring that heat. Okay?

That means we use bird's eye chilis.

Yeah, yeah, sure. I'll grab 'em.

But if they don't have them, you can get serrano.

But don't grab red ones, grab the green ones.

They'll be spicier.

I'm thinking grandma's marinated flank steak

with a vegetable medley.

But that's so basic.

Why can't we add bacon, or pineapples?

Or we could combine the two.

Noah, I love you, but this is not a democracy.

Okay. So, Hannah, start warming up the cast iron.

And... Hannah.

Are you even listening to me?

Love the idea, Mom. Yes.

Your pantry time starts now!

I'm on it.

Really? What are you supposed to do with all this stuff?

I don't know, I panicked.

But hey, a chili's a chili, right?

This is a banana pepper, Dad.

Potatoes? Honey, our side dish is supposed to be vegetables.

What? Potatoes are a vegetable. I think.

She was too busy staring at Sam.

- Shut up, Noah. - Sam? Where?

Oh, no. No, no, no.

You put too much!

Please don't tell me you're crushing on Louise's kid.

- What? No. - How do you have a crush on him?

You guys didn't go to the same school and...

Not that crushes have to follow a certain set of rules...

He's on his school's football team.

We play them all the time and follow each other on socials.

And stop saying "crush." Ew, it's cringe.

It's okay, Mom, I got some stuff.

I got a whole pineapple, -Oh.

A bunch of marshmallows, bacon,

and steak.

Ah.

Focus, Dad, focus.

That's so minced. You need to do brunoise cut.

A broom-what now?

A brunoise cut. Mom would know how to do this.

You julienne them, then rotate them to do a brunoise.

Are we still speaking English?

I don't know what you're talking about.

Gimme...

Sorry.

Just tell me how to do it.

Stop cutting like that.

Hannah, please, that pan needs

at least another 10 milliliters of oil.

- Okay. Yeah. - Now. Now.

Sear, Dad, sear!

I'm trying, Ben, I am trying.

That's a char. The meat is turning black!

Ah!

Oh, my God!

- What do we do, Ben? - Take it out!

What do I do?

- Mom, Mom! - Water! We need water!

No! No water.

You never put water on a grease fire.

It makes it explode.

Sixty seconds left.

Uh...

Uh, it's

seared.

Seared.

How 'bout the Rollasons?

Oh, it's not really that bad, is it?

Don't beat yourself up about it.

Everyone burns a dinner now and then.

Two of these dishes didn't shake out,

but that's okay.

Out of the goodness of my heart

and the desire to promote good fire safety,

I am awarding the Rollason and the Fox families

five points each.

That's not bad.

Okay.

As for the Gomez Family.

I'm awarding an impressive eight out of ten.

That sirloin steak was cooked to perfection.

And the asparagus was a little underdone.

As for the Moser Family

this is how a skirt steak should be cooked.

And that soy sauce marinade was amazing.

So, I am awarding you nine out of ten.

Well done!

Way to go!

Okay, families, with three challenges left,

it's anyone's game.

We'll see you at the next challenge.

Hey, what did Mom always say?

We did our best.

And that's nothing to be ashamed of.

Can't sleep?

Hey, why sleep when I can replay my humiliating defeat

over and over again in my head?

You know what goes great with a healthy serving of failure?

- Hm? - A side of wine.

Oh, wine in a thermos. Classy guy.

Hey, losers can't be choosers.

- That's how that goes, right? - I think so.

Just pour.

Okay, here you go.

Cheers.

Cheers.

Mm, well, today was certainly one for the books,

that's for sure.

Oh, yeah. I mean,

I want to win. You know?

And those free groceries, that wouldn't hurt.

Oh, I get it.

We could definitely use those too.

When I came here as a kid,

getting our recipe in the Campfire Cookbook,

is something my mom and I both wanted.

My kids, I mean, they can cook.

Oh, I've seen it.

But Hannah

she's more interested in boys,

and Noah, he's

he has this amazing sense of taste,

but he's just this ball of energy

and I, I just...

Sorry, I feel like I'm over sharing.

I'm over sharing.

- Maybe a little. - Yeah.

I'm just giving you a hard time.

Look, this right here,

this is what the kids call a "safe space."

Hm.

Okay. Your turn.

How are you royally messing all of this up? Hm?

You mean, besides almost setting the entire camp on fire?

Well, for starters, I'm not my wife.

You know, it's been almost three years since she passed,

and I'm still struggling to do all the things that she did

for our family, you know, for Ben.

Adam, I'm so sorry.

Jen and Ben were best friends.

And they really bonded over cooking.

I was always a little jealous, actually.

You know, the thing is,

Ben really lights up when he's in the kitchen.

And me, well, you know,

I'm just a hot dog dad.

You know, I just thought this was our chance

to finally connect.

But after my performance today,

I don't know if that's gonna happen.

Maybe he just needs that routine.

That structure.

And it doesn't mean that you can't adapt.

Go along with his style.

You know, you're probably right.

That's, uh, that's great advice.

Okay.

Roles reversed, now

what would you do?

You mean, if I were you?

If you were me, yes.

Right. Well, um, with Noah, that's easy.

You know, just go out there and do some activities with him.

Help him burn off some of that energy.

But for Hannah, maybe,

you should let go of the reins a little bit.

You know

there's nothing a teenager hates more than rules.

No offense, but you seem pretty big on rules.

Oh, you're so right. I just... hm.

Maybe Spreadsheet Mom needs to relax a little. Hm?

Wow. "Spreadsheet Mom"? Really?

Oh, I know.

That's quite a nickname.

I know.

Hey

- it's day one. - Mm-hmm.

We got a whole week to figure this out.

And if you need anything,

I'm right next door.

I'll remember that if I lock myself out of my cabin.

Hey.

Why didn't you wake me?

Look, Ben, I'm sorry about yesterday.

But I still think we have a chance to win.

You know, I just need a crash course in cooking,

that's all.

Everything that Mom taught you, you can try and teach me.

That way I won't be the worst sous chef in history.

I even, uh, made a schedule.

You?

You made a cooking schedule?

Skepticism duly noted, but yeah.

I want you to get the most out of this camp.

So that you can get your golden ticket

in the cordon bleu.

You want to train every morning?

And in the afternoons, we can relax

and see what the camp has to offer.

Just so we don't burn out.

What do you say?

Well, first we need to work on theory.

'Cause no offense, Dad, you cannot be a good sous chef

if you don't know basic flavor profiles.

'Course not.

Then we need to hone in your techinque.

I'm talking basic knife skill sets,

how to julienne a tomato...

Mom?

It's almost nine o'clock. Why didn't you wake us up?

I thought I'd let you sleep in. Hm?

I also thought I would work on my hamstring flexibility.

Okay. What is going on here?

Since when have you been flexible

about literally anything?

Okay. Look, I know you guys weren't over the moon

about coming here, and that's on me.

So, I thought for the rest of the trip,

I would give you a little more freedom.

Hm?

Let you do things on your own terms.

- Mm. - So now,

if you don't mind,

I have to work on my...

Half-Moon pose.

I'd rather not have my daughter around to see me mess it up.

So, why don't you go get some breakfast? Hm?

I think I saw the Mosers heading down there earlier.

Yeah. I could grab some food, yeah.

I'm pretty hungry after last night.

And Hannah, um

maybe we can go to the lake later?

I mean, if you're bored.

Yeah. Sounds good.

Your number one job here is to get ten-out-of-tens.

We are a ten-out-of-ten family.

We are not here for fun, we are here for victory.

Are you with me?

You might think nine is a high score. No, it's not.

Ten is the only score.

I'm not gonna walk away with a.

'Kay, now, just let that sink in. Heh.

- Good morning. - Good morning.

Hey, uh, how'd you sleep?

Yeah, okay.

So, I know it's not really like my place, or whatever,

but is everything okay?

Oh, yeah, that. I mean, my mom was just giving me

a performance review of yesterday.

She said, and I quote,

my efforts were "sub-optimal."

But you got a nine-out-of-ten.

Knowing my mom, she'll bring up that missing point

for the rest of the week.

Want to grab a seat?

- Yeah, sure. - Awesome.

You most certainly can train in our kitchen.

Feel free to practice here.

The refrigerator's just over there.

That's where the food is for our competition as well.

So, uh, no peeking.

All I ask is you leave it the way you found it.

Great. Thank you so much, Ms. Allison.

Yeah.

And Adam, no fires.

All right. What are we doing first?

Attention!

Huh?

This is your basic training.

I have one week to instill mom's cooking knowledge into you

so that when you leave this camp,

you will not just be a cook, you'll be a chef.

Am I making myself clear?

Crystal.

I can't hear you.

Crystal clear, sir!

Chef.

Crystal clear, Chef!

No, no...

Oh, great work. Now let's go cook it.

Your mom and I used to do this all the time

before you were born.

She ever tell you that?

We'd take the weekend,

drive up to hike the Catskills,

maybe the Adirondacks.

I miss that, you know?

She said you picked blackberries when hiking.

Then you'd make them into this blackberry tart.

Well, she'd make the tart.

I'd just eat it.

But hey, maybe that's something we can make back home.

Yeah.

Whoa.

I can confidently say

that you will 100% not sink.

Hey!

I'm surprised to see you two out here.

Yeah.

We had a successful morning testing recipes in the kitchen.

Thought we might venture out a bit.

- Maybe go for a swim. - Hm.

Hey!

Cool life jacket.

I saw a boat over there.

You want to take it around the lake?

Noah, I don't think so.

I'll wear a life jacket, no cap.

We want to explore. Right, Ben?

Go for it.

Yeah. Sure.

You still need a grown up to go with you.

I can take them.

What? I don't mind.

It is a three-person canoe.

I think I even saw some spare life jackets inside.

- Uh... Yeah. - Cool. Yeah.

- If you don't mind. - That would be nice.

Totally in sync, guys.

- Come on, you two. - Come on.

- Yeah, let's go. - This is gonna be lit.

Why do they keep inventing new words?

Honestly, I really wish they wouldn't.

You and me, both.

Makes me feel old.

No comment.

So, it seems like you and Hannah are getting along.

Yeah, you could say that.

How about you and Ben?

I took your advice.

Opened up a little,

tried to see things from his perspective.

And wouldn't you know it, the kid loves a schedule.

He actually seems happy to teach me.

Hm.

I think we could win this whole thing.

Oh, yeah. Maybe.

If we let you.

You think you guys are gonna beat us?

Have you seen my kid in the kitchen?

He's like the Chopin of cooking.

But does he have over 20 years of experience in a kitchen?

Or a book distilling generations of culinary knowledge?

You actually think you're gonna win.

I don't have the slightest shadow of a doubt.

You should have more than a shadow of a doubt.

You should be cloaked in darkness right now.

What does that even...

You know what, don't even tell me.

Just prepare yourself to lose. Okay?

You know, actually, there's some corn hole set up over here.

Maybe you should get used to losing right now.

Oh, I am going to make you eat those words.

Let's do this.

Let's go.

We each get four bean bags. I'm gonna give you yellow.

I'm gonna go first.

Oh!

- Ah. - Hm.

Was this game supposed to be hard?

Just a little beginner's luck.

Oh! Close.

But is it this close?

Oh!

Okay.

Ooh.

Oh, yes!

Yes, yes, yes! Ah!

In your face!

In your face!

- In your face. In your face. - Mom?

Wow, Mom, real mature.

Oh, yeah.

Mm.

So, why am I not surprised by this?

What? Tastes better this way.

You know, burnt food is supposed to be bad for you.

I like living on the edge.

The danger gives it that extra flavor.

- Mm. - Trust me. Just try.

You'll live.

Fine.

Mm. See? Told ya.

Mm-hmm.

Yeah, well, you know why this works?

It's called pyrolysis.

Pyro-what now?

- Pyrolysis. - Mm.

Or caramelization.

So, the heat transforms the sugar molecules

into dozens of different compounds,

and one of those compounds is diacetyl.

So, diacetyl is what gives those burnt marshmallows

that buttery, you know, caramel flavor.

Did you get that little tid bit from your book?

First off,

it is called The Book.

The Book. Got it.

And secondly, no.

I learned about the science of cooking after, you know.

The book is more a celebration of me and my mom's relationship.

Sounds really special.

If only my kids saw it that way.

It's kind of the reason that we're here.

Hey, they're good kids.

They'll meet you halfway.

I know they will.

I hope you're right.

Hold this for me, please.

Wish me luck.

Where you goin'?

I'm going to meet my kids halfway.

- Hi. Oh, hey. - Hey.

Sam, I was hoping to talk to your mom, but...

The kids are over there if you want to go hang.

Yeah.

So.

Hey.

Hey, you're pretty good at that.

Nice form.

Hey, you're up early...

Shh. He stayed up all night talking to Ben.

Well, I'm glad he's made a friend.

- Mm. - What are you doin'?

Oh, it's nothing.

I just thought I should maybe go over some recipes.

Some of these recipes are pretty crazy.

Did you and grandma actually come up with these at camp?

Yeah, some of the ones in the beginning,

but no, not the later ones.

Duck sous vide with a fig sauce?

There's no way you're making that at camp.

Yeah, you know, when I open this book,

I'm reminded of how much I miss her.

You know, I always thought

I had to do everything by the book.

But your grandma, she's such a free spirit.

It didn't matter what anyone thought,

if she believed something needed to be done,

she would do it.

You remind me a lot of her.

We have a couple of hours until the next challenge.

Do you want to walk me through a few recipes?

Yeah, I'd like that.

Okay. Which ones?

I can't hear you!

Yes, Chef!

Tell me what we've cooked!

Glazed chicken thighs,

mashed potatoes and grilled egg, Chef!

And what is the secret ingredient to your salad?

Vinaigrette dressing, Chef!

And how did we add flavor to the mashed potatoes?

Boiled garlic with the mashed potatoes, Chef!

Is something funny, son?!

No, Chef!

Uh, is everything okay?

I never thought I'd say this to anyone but Mom,

and I definitely never thought I'd say this to you,

but.

I think you've finally become good enough

to become my sous chef.

- Welcome to the team. - Yes!

Now, let's try your dish.

Campers, this is your second challenge.

And it's still anyone's game.

Today, you will choose a black box

and cook a meal with the three ingredients hidden inside.

That's the fun part.

Feel free to grab ingredients from the pantry,

but no matter what, you must use

all of the ingredients in the black box.

Now, you'll see displayed in front,

one ingredient from each black box.

I'm gonna give you a minute to huddle with your team,

starting... now.

Okay, which one do you want to choose?

It's your call.

What's there to talk about?

We could get hot dogs. Who doesn't like hot dogs?

I don't know, it just seems too easy.

We don't know what the other ingredients are yet.

What do you think we should do?

We'll go with what you say. Right, Noah?

Yeah. We're with you.

Okay. Um... okay.

I definitely think we pass on the tofu.

- Yeah. - We're not tofu guys.

That's time.

Let's see who picks first.

The Rollasons.

- Pick a box. - Yes!

We'll go with tofu.

That's a bold choice.

We're a bold family.

Mosers, pick a box.

We'll take the hot dogs, thanks.

Oh, Monica, so brave picking the tofu.

I don't know how you'll keep it from sticking to the grill.

Well, we'll manage. Thanks.

Okay, she might be my nemesis.

The Foxes, pick a box.

We're gonna do the ground beef.

The Fox Family chose the beef,

which leaves the Gomez Family with the corn.

Okay, campers, you've got one hour.

Come and grab your boxes.

Three, two, one...

Okay. So, we chose the ground beef,

and we also got... lettuce and tomato.

I think this is cryin' out for a burger, Chef.

A burger at this stage is too safe.

We need to elevate it... with a killer sauce!

Yes!

What did Sun Tzu say about preparation?

"He who wins, prepares himself."

And what does my sous chef do?

Prepares ingredients.

Oh, ho-ho.

Yes.

Spring onions and chili peppers.

So, what can we make?

Oh! I remember seeing a recipe for no-stick tofu in the book.

You're right, grandma did have a recipe.

I just have to find it.

But that's so basic.

Why can't we do something exciting?

Noah, we have to use the ingredients

that came in the box.

Wait. What if we add some sauce?

Not like ketchup, like real sauce.

Like barbeque sauce.

Then, we add the chili peppers and the spring onions on top.

Yes! Noah, that's perfect.

There's even a barbeque sauce in here.

Okay. This is what we're gonna do.

It's very good.

Now, I've grilled a lot of corn in my day,

and I love that you made it fully loaded.

I am awarding you another eight-out-of ten,

giving the Gomezes 16 points in total.

M'kay.

Okay.

Now, this is quite the improvement.

Mm, mm.

I can confidently say that you

have managed to elevate an American classic.

And that Blue Cheese sauce is to die for.

So, I am awarding the Fox Family nine points.

Yes!

Bringing your score to 14.

We put our own twist on the hot dogs.

And made coleslaw for our side.

Well, the octopus hot dogs are definitely cute.

I'm not sure all the elements are quite there.

Coleslaw needs a little more mayonnaise

to balance the acidity.

So, I am giving the Moser Family a solid seven,

bringing your score to 16 points.

And what do we have here?

Very brave of you to put the tofu straight on the grill.

I was expecting you to use some tinfoil.

The trick is to press the water out of the tofu

with a paper towel, then you coat

the whole thing in flour before you grill it.

That way it doesn't stick.

I can see that.

Mm. Mm-hmm-hm.

That is definitely the most delicious tofu

I've had in a long time.

And for your efforts, I am giving the Rollason Family

nine points.

Hey, congratulations.

Can you believe it?

That's almost double than what we scored last time.

To be fair, we set the bar pretty low last time.

Not just low. We set it on fire!

I made fire!

Yeah, but still, your tofu recipe was really good.

Yeah, it was.

- And that glaze... - I know. That was my idea.

Whoa, what about me?

I'm the one who remembered the recipe.

You remembered a page in a book.

- Mom? - Let's calm down, everybody.

But wow! My heart is racing after that last competition.

Are you okay?

Yeah, I'm fine.

You know what I want to do the rest of the day? Hm?

Take it easy.

Take it easy? But we're at camp.

Can't we go hiking or something?

Yeah, Dad. Can we go hiking?

How 'bout I take them?

Okay.

Jumping on this babysitting thing pretty fast then, huh?

Yeah. I'll DM Sam.

Maybe he'll join. It should be fun.

Come on, you two, grab your boots.

We're goin' hiking.

Hiking! Hiking! Hiking!

So... what do you want to do?

Got something in mind?

I got an idea.

Found the perfect spot for a day like today.

Well, where is perfect?

- You're dragging me for miles... - Isn't this gorgeous?

- It's amazing. - I know it's gorgeous.

I've been coming here since I was a kid.

The place I found yesterday while walking around,

even better. It's even more perfect than this.

Even more perfect? Can there be such a thing?

There is, there is. Trust me.

- Do show, sir. - Yes. I will.

I was out walking around the other day,

and I found the perfect spot.

Okay.

Perfect for what?

Perfect,

for fishing.

I mean, come on, look at it.

It's incredible.

Fishing?

Really?

That's what you want to do while the kids are away?

Fair.

But riddle me this:

What sport screams peace and quiet

more than fishing?

Mm, kind of weird you keep referring to it as a sport.

But sure, let's get fishing.

That's the spirit.

Okay, you want to hold the rod here.

Now, you're just gonna flick it forward, and let go.

You do realize you're telling

the most Type A person in the world to just let it go.

The irony is not lost on me.

But trust me, you're gonna enjoy it.

- Okay. - All right. You ready?

- Let go! - Let it go.

See? Easy.

Okay, so, what's your deal then, huh?

Just happen to have fishing rods on you wherever you go?

In the summer, I take off work,

leave the site, go down to the river.

Your boss is okay with that?

Well, I am the boss.

But seriously, I love fishing.

You know, it's, uh, meditative.

Some days you get a bite,

some days you go home empty-handed.

I didn't say this the other day,

but I think it's really amazing how you've handled

everything life has thrown at you

and you still manage to be there for Ben.

Thanks.

Oh! I think you got a bite.

Good. Put your hand here. Reel it in.

There you go.

Oh!

Oh, I can't believe it broke the line.

I know.

But I think you did pretty good for a first-timer.

I gotta admit, it was more fun than I expected.

I knew you'd like a little fishing.

If you ever want to go for round two, just let me know.

Mm. Is that an invitation?

Come down to Marsh Bank Park.

There twice a week enjoying my lunch.

Marsh Bank Park?

Yeah, I'd like that.

I'm just in Bloomfield Hills.

- No way. - Yeah.

I'm in Farmington.

So, we're practically neighbors again.

I had a really great time today.

Me too.

Loved every minute of it.

Well, um...

- All right. - That's me.

- So, see you tomorrow. - See you tomorrow.

Good night.

Good night.

- Noah! - Ben!

Did you get the note?

Ben!

I've been trying to figure it out all morning.

What'd I miss?

It's a scavenger hunt, Dad.

We have to find as many ingredients as possible

before we start cooking.

"If you want to compete in the challenge today,

you'll need this letter to guide your way."

What do you think the first clue is?

I've been trying to figure out the second one.

"What has a mouth but doesn't speak?

What runs but has no feet?"

What's up with these cryptic ransom notes?

It's Ms. Allison.

She likes to get creative with the challenges.

Creative. Someone's watching way too much true crime.

So wait. All four teams were given the same set of clues

and you can only cook with the ingredients

found in the hunt?

Yeah. Why?

So, when did Ms. Allison send out these notes?

They probably started already.

Ben, we gotta go. Come on.

C-Come on!

Wait! I need my bag!

- Mom! - Okay, okay, okay.

All right? Want to take a break?

No, I want to keep going.

Ben, cordon bleu or not,

this challenge isn't worth killing ourselves over.

Would you look at that.

Nature's offered us a perfect seat.

Rest up.

These clues are ridiculous.

"While my fingers touch the sky,

my feet are buried far and wide,"

which sounds a lot like a tree.

The only problem is...

Which one?

Exactly.

It could be a tree.

Trees have a mouth and roots are kinda like legs.

What kind of tree has a mouth?

Um, that one right there does.

- Noah, please don't. - Whoa!

Hannah, please, get your brother out of the tree trunk?

"What has a mouth that doesn't speak?

What runs but has no feet?"

A river.

Guys, guys, um, just...

Just wait for me here. Okay? Just wait.

Okay

river...

Yes!

Oh, I gotcha.

Yoink.

Hey, I saw that first!

We're a little old to be calling dibs, don't you think?

If you don't mind,

I need to add this tomato

to my growing list of ingredients.

Bye now.

Mom, what happened?

Louise Moser beat me to it.

Don't say it.

If we have any shot of winning this,

we're gonna have to switch things up.

- What are you doing?! - Are you crazy?!

We're splitting up. You solve that one there.

I will solve this. And no matter what,

we meet back at the lodge at noon.

Got it.

Okay. And please, be careful.

Mm-hmm.

Dad? Can I tell you something?

Yeah, of course, buddy. What's up?

You know the other day when...

When, when what?

The other day when...

Wheat!

Wheat?

No, Dad, look! It's an ingredient!

It's wheat! You found it!

Come on, let's go.

Well, well, well.

Look who it is.

Adam, I'm warning you,

that wheat is mine.

I could say the same thing to you.

Oh.

Dad, did you get it?

Doin' it right now, buddy.

As soon as Monica here backs down.

Oh, ho-ho! Oh, I'm not backing down.

And I'm closer.

But I'm faster.

Oh!

Faster, are we?

Dad, are you okay? Are you hurt?

Here, take my hand.

No, I'm okay. All right.

I'm fine.

Just an old football injury.

Are you sure it's not broken?

No, no, it's nothing like that.

I just banged my knee is all.

Uh, Ben.

Do you think you could follow the trail markers

back to the lodge and just tell Ms. Allison what happened?

Take this.

And we'll be along in just a minute.

It just might take us a little longer.

Are you sure you'll be okay walking back?

Hey, I'm your dad.

It's gonna take a lot more than this to keep me down.

We'll be right behind you.

Okay.

Please, let me help you.

Yeah?

Okay.

- I think it's just up here. - Ah!

Okay, look, sit.

Why don't you sit down and take a short break.

Yeah, yeah.

Sit down.

You need to slow down, Adam.

Why didn't you say anything?

And freak Ben out? I don't think so.

I probably just lost us the challenge,

maybe even the whole competition.

I just want to see Ben win. You know?

I can't stand the idea of letting him down again.

So, you're blaming yourself.

Well, whose fault is it?

I can't cook.

I can barely juggle PTA meetings with my job.

And honestly, I don't blame him

for acting out in school for being angry.

I'd feel the same way if I was stuck with a dad like me.

You need to give yourself a little grace.

See yourself as the amazing person,

the amazing dad,

that Ben sees you as.

That I see you as.

Thanks.

So? Think you can walk?

Yeah. We should get back.

Okay, easy does it.

Slow down there.

Okay.

Okay.

They're back!

- Mom! - Mom.

Oh! Hi.

I was so worried about you.

Well, there's nothing to worry about anymore.

I'm here.

Is it true Ben's dad broke his leg in two?

What?!

I think Ben might've exaggerated a bit.

- Oh. - We're glad you're both okay.

Oh!

All right, let me take a look,

make sure you're still breathing.

Count your lucky stars, you're built like Teflon.

Thank you, I think.

But what about the challenge?

Well, we had to call it off.

But I always have a backup challenge

for moments like this, if you're interested.

- Yeah, yeah. - Sure.

- Let's do it. - Okay.

Meet me in the competition area in 30.

Do you need help?

- Thirty minutes? - Yeah.

- Sure you're okay? - Yeah.

You ready?

Do you think they're mad at us

because we ruined the scavenger hunt?

Um.

I don't know. You go ahead.

Hey, Monica.

Can we talk for a second?

Yeah, sure.

I feel awful

about what happened with you and Adam.

I shouldn't have taken the card from you.

It's just

we don't do many things together as a family.

Evergreen

that's something we've done together as a family for years.

And when I saw your name at the check-in,

I just remembered that you and your mom

used to sweep the competition.

And I just couldn't let you win again.

Yeah, I mean

I think I got swept up in the whole thing too.

Well, that happens.

Yeah.

I'm glad we had this chat.

Yeah, me too.

Ladies, I'll have you join the competition.

Okay, everyone,

if you'll come on up to the table.

Let's get going here.

Today, we are doing a different sort of challenge.

Short, sweet, to the point. On your work benches,

you'll each find my special potato salad,

and you'll have five minutes to complete the challenge.

Starting now!

She says she put potatoes, mayonnaise, lemon,

salt and pepper, parika and red onions in the salad.

It's our job to identify the final three ingredients.

I don't know.

It tastes like so many of grandma's recipes.

It doesn't mean it has the same ingredients.

Pickles! I 100% taste pickles.

Honey, we would see if there were pickles in there.

Not if she chopped them into super tiny pieces.

Mom, he does have some weirdly good taste buds.

Uh-huh. Okay, pickles. So, what else?

Hard-boiled eggs.

There are diced hard-boiled eggs in there.

But there's something else too.

The potatoes, Chef...

Obviously, there are potatoes in the potato salad, Dad.

- We're running out of time! - I know.

But not just regular potatoes.

Like the mashed potatoes we made the other day.

Garlic?

Dad!

You're totally right!

She put garlic in here!

And that's time.

Hey, thank you.

Uh-huh.

Now that you've all written your answers down,

we'll start with the Gomez Family.

You've put hard-boiled eggs, garlic and cumin.

Unfortunately, that's incorrect.

But two correct answers gives you eight points.

And that'll bring your grand total to

24!

All right! The Moser Family.

You've put hard-boiled eggs, garlic and dill.

Interesting.

But that last answer is incorrect.

That gives you eight points.

So, you will also have a total of 24 points.

Okay, let's see what the underdogs have put.

Oh.

Both families, the Foxes and the Rollasons

have written the same things.

Hard-boiled eggs, garlic and dill pickles.

Dill pickles are

correct!

- Yeah! - Yes! We did it!

You were right!

That's ten points to both families.

That gives both families 24 points.

We've got a four-way tie, folks.

Wow!

We did it!

Is this seat taken?

All yours.

So, how does it feel to go from last place to nearly first?

It doesn't even feel real.

Like, we started this week totally fighting

and in last place, and now,

it weirdly feels like we're a team.

What about you? How's your mom taking

her fall from grace?

Weirdly well, honestly.

It's like, after the scavenger hunt,

a switch kind of flipped off in her brain.

Does that mean she's gonna stop being crazy competitive?

Yeah, no, that's not happening.

Okay.

But who knows?

Maybe she's starting to relax a little bit.

She didn't even blink an eye when I said

I wanted to sit by the fire with you tonight.

Hey. So, super random,

but when school starts back up, do you maybe wanna

play on the school football team?

Yeah. Pretty sure I'll be playing.

Can't wait to see you guys play at our school.

- That will be great. - Yeah.

Wow, negative 1000 aura right there.

What's that even mean?

What does that even mean?

It means, Hannah's lame.

Trust me, I'm never getting a girlfriend.

Yeah, me neither. Right, Dad?

Are you guys making big plans for the summer?

Uh, yeah. We want to hang out.

Yeah, Dad, we want to hang out.

I think we can make that happen.

Bloomfield Hills is right down the road.

Yeah, we're just about 20 minutes away from each other.

We can, um, exchange numbers,

and arrange a meet-up for the kids.

Yeah. A meet-up, for the kids.

- Oh! - Whoa.

That is well done.

It's seared.

Wow, Mom, you're actually getting really good at this.

You want to join?

Mm, no, thanks.

So, I wanted to ask you something,

and do not tell Noah.

Okay.

So, how do I...

How do I ask out Sam, Mom?

I really, really like him.

Honey,

there's no special trick.

You just...

You just have to lead with it.

'Cause once you ask the question there's no going back.

But be brave,

and ask for what you want in life.

And no matter what his answer is,

you'll be okay.

Promise.

So, when are you asking out Adam?

What?! No.

There's nothing going on

- we're friends. - Mom, it's chill.

He's a nice guy,

and you deserve someone who makes you happy.

And besides, today's the last day of camp,

so, if not now, then when?

I'm gonna wake Noah up,

see if he wants to look through the book.

Maybe get some inspo from when you and grandma were here.

- Mm-hmm. - And Mom,

I love you.

I love you too.

You're cooking a Thai stir-fry.

What oils do you use?

Sesame and coconut.

Easy.

You're cooking Brazilian food now.

Same question.

Palm oil and lard.

Boom.

What's the perfect internal temperature for pork ribs?

It's okay. That's a hard one.

It's 205°. But I think you're ready.

I'm promoting you from sous chef to co-executive chef.

I've got a surprise for you.

Now, I got a little help from Ms. Allison.

What do you think?

I got one for each of us.

No way!

These are amazing!

Thank you. I love it.

I really liked spending this week with you, Dad.

And I want to talk to you about stuff, I do.

It's just, I don't know how to.

Like, on the last day of school,

I got really mad

because the teacher asked us

to write a goodbye letter to the school.

I'm sick of goodbyes.

Is that why you stormed out of class?

Look, just because you're changing schools

doesn't mean you're saying goodbye to your Mom,

'cause you're not.

She's with you wherever you go.

Right in here.

I love you, Ben.

I love you too, Dad.

Okay, campers.

All four teams are tied at 24 points.

Whoever wins today gets their recipe

in next year's Campfire Cookbook

along with six months of free groceries

delivered right to your doorstep.

You will have three hours to cook whatever you want,

and the best dish wins.

Let's do this!

Let's go!

What about the burgers you made last Fourth of July?

No, it feels too safe if we do burgers at this point.

What about tacos? We could do tacos.

Yeah. You know, grandma has a recipe with Hatch chilis.

What do you think?

- Let's do it. - Yeah.

Okay.

Hannah, make sure that you grab...

Two pounds of dark meat? I know.

Noah, you got the Hatch chilis?

Are the canned ones okay?

Honey, that's perfect.

I got the stuff for the dry rub and the sauce.

Brown sugar, cumin and molasses. Oh.

And our secret ingredient?

It's right here, Chef.

Yes, liquid smoke!

Okay. So, Hannah, you're on chopping duty.

Noah, you're in charge of the marinade,

and I am going to debone these chicken thighs.

Guys, where's the book?

What do you mean? Is it gone?

- We have to find it! - Um...

Oh.

Pour the cup of brown sugar, Chef?

Yes, Chef.

Kinda looks like there's something wrong with Monica.

Well, go check on her, Dad.

- You sure? - Five minutes.

I can hold down the fort for five minutes.

Now go.

Pantry. Okay, I might've left it in the pantry.

Hey, Monica. What's goin' on?

- It's gone. - What's wrong?

The book is gone.

The last thing I had of my mother.

All of those recipes

they're gone, and I don't know where.

It's gonna be okay.

We'll find it. I'll help you look.

No, Adam, you can't do that.

This is Ben's time. He needs you.

I'll be fine. Just go.

You can still win this.

You'll find it.

Monica, I saw the maintenance man

emptying the garbage can from each station.

Do you think someone knocked it into the trash by mistake?

I left the book on the corner of the counter, so...

They should be en route to get the trash from the main lodge.

If we run, we might catch them.

What about the cook-off?

I wanted to beat you at your best, not like this.

What do you say?

Yes! Um, yes, but let me tell it to the kids.

- Okay. - Okay.

You know what? You probably lost the book

when you were daydreaming about Sam.

Hey, don't point fingers at me.

You probably knocked it over when you were vibrating...

Guys, I think I know where the book is.

But I'm gonna have to run to go and get it.

Think you can finish the challenge?

Mom, without the book, what will we make?

It's not like we know any recipes.

You guys don't need the book.

Really, you don't.

Hannah, you have an incredible memory,

and I bet you could remember half those recipes

without even trying.

Noah, you have such a great sense of taste

and you are so creative.

And I know together you will come up with something amazing.

Yeah?

We got this.

Okay, good.

Make me proud.

Come on, let's go.

You ready with that liquid smoke, Chef?

I got it right here.

- Oh, no. - No!

No, no, no!

- What do I do? - Hey, hey.

It's okay. All right?

- There's gotta be a solution. - No, there's not.

Without the liquid smoke,

how do I give the ribs that burnt flavor?

Let me think. Just let me think.

There's brown sugar and molasses in the rub, right?

Yeah.

Then we can do this the old fashioned way.

I'm talkin' pyrolysis.

Caramelization!

Is that thing ready?

It will be in a couple of minutes.

- All right. - Get the edges.

Hey. We got this.

- Wait! - No, no! Wait!

- Wait! - Stop! Stop!

What do we do?

The road loops around the hill.

Yes!

What if they're not done yet?

There are at least ten different

chicken thigh recipes in the book,

and they all say to take them off the heat after 35 minutes.

Now, I need to shred the meat.

Fine, then I'll do the salsa.

What are you doing with that?

I thought we were making salsa like grandma's.

We're making my kind of salsa.

I'm sick of salsa just having onions and tomatoes.

- Noah. - What?

I'm trusting you.

So, why can't you trust me?

Fair.

I trust you. Okay.

Gimme my baby backs.

Aren't they ready yet?

Not yet. Just wait.

Just wait.

- Dad? - Wait.

Dad!

Okay, now.

How we doin', Ben? We good?

The temperature is

- 205°! - Yes!

That's what I'm talkin' about! We did it!

We did it.

We did it. Let's go.

Oh, there he is!

- Stop! - Louise!

What are you doing? Are you crazy?

Probably.

But he threw out something important

that belongs to my friend.

And we're gonna get it back.

Mosers, your chicken shish-kabob

was delicious. And earns you eight points,

bringing your total to 32.

Putting you in a first place tie with the Gomez Family.

Good job.

Okay, now,

since we're in a four-way dead heat,

I think I will try both remaining dishes

and announce the winner at the end.

Let's start with the Rollason's

Hannah, Noah, you want to tell me about your dish?

Yeah, um, we

Hannah, wait!

Mom!

- You found the book! - You're back!

How'd you do?

Eight out of ten.

I'm so proud of you.

As I was saying,

Hannah and Noah, care to explain your dish?

We made pulled chicken tacos...

With a pineapple salsa.

Oh.

Mm! Delicious.

Truly delicious.

The chicken is cooked perfectly and that pineapple salsa

is sweet and tangy in all the right ways.

Well done, you two, truly.

You did great!

And finally, the Fox Family.

You've come a long way

since having huge flames coming from your grill.

But I am happy to say,

you've turned in some real food this time.

So, what are we eating?

We made ribs with a special dry rub

and a molasses Worcestershire sauce glaze.

Mm.

Hm.

The char, the caramelization of the sugar in the glaze,

it's just perfect.

And the meat just melts in your mouth.

You two should be proud of this dish.

Great job.

This year's camp has been great.

The sheer talent on display here.

So, for the first time in camp history,

the first place goes to two families.

Which means, there'll be two entries

in the Campfire Cookbook.

And three months of free groceries

going to each family.

And the winning families are...

The Foxes and the Rollasons!

Yes! We did it!

Congratulations!

We actually won!

- We did it! - We did it!

We did it!

But I have a radar for these things.

You don't understand. I see it and I feel it

and I just know.

She hasn't had a crush on anyone in forever.

There's no way she likes Ben's dad.

Noah, I'm telling you that she literally does.

And tonight is the last chance to make it happen. Okay?

I'm gonna talk to Mom,

get her to that little island across the bridge.

All you have to do is tell Ben to do the same. Got it?

Okay. I'll tell him.

Okay, that's good.

Hey.

Sam, hey.

I just wanted to say that...

Do you want to go out?

Um, with me?

Do you want to go out with me?

Yeah. Yeah, I'd like that.

Okay, cool.

Hey.

Hey. What are you doing over here?

Ben told me that it was important I come over here.

He said it was "really cool."

Ah.

Hannah told me the same thing.

- Oh, my God. Are they... - No.

Are they trying to Parent Trap us?

How could they?

That would be insane. Right?

That movie is older than they are.

It's a classic, though.

Yeah.

Have a seat.

It's a nice night.

Mm.

This week has been very unexpected.

Yeah.

Meeting you and Ben,

seeing everything that you've overcome,

it made me realize

that maybe I need to let go more.

To be more in the moment.

To take more risks. So, um...

Here it goes.

I want you in my life, Adam.

If you're ready.

Monica, um

in coming to Camp Evergreen,

meeting you and your family,

it's changed everything for me.

You helped me believe in myself again,

and I'm a good dad.

Good enough for Ben.

And that we're gonna be okay.

So, yeah.

I'm definitely ready.

You're incredible.

I want to wash my eyeballs out.

Wow, Mom's got game.

Uh, hi, kids. We, um...

Your mom and I were just...

Yeah, um

talking.

Dad, it's okay to start dating.

Thanks, Ben.

I guess we're all gonna be seeing a lot more of each other.

I guess so.

Come on, guys, bring it in.

What do we do with the rest of the summer?

Camping!

Oh, no.
