Okay.

Hey, Zoey.

I thought you couldn't
kill a cactus.

Well, you still gotta
water those roots.

Oh.

Did you get any
sleep last night?

Who needs sleep
when you have one of

the biggest meetings of
your career to stress about?

Hey, no pressure.

Oat milk latte to the rescue.

Thank you.

Well, maybe a little
bit of pressure.

Okay, listen.

You are wearing cowboy boots.

Yeah.

Vogue says they're in.

Hm.

I haven't worn those in ages.

Well, you should
treat yourself

when you become Laura
Hollis, Head of Marketing.

Okay, you're just saying
what I want to hear.

Well, I also have something
you might not want to hear.

You know that
singer we had booked

for the presentation today?

She got laryngitis

and she couldn't record
the jingle in time.

What?

No, this isn't happening.

No, no, no, it's
okay, it's okay.

I found us another singer.

Okay, good.

Oh, it's more than good, yeah.

Come on.

Let's do this.

Okay.

The jingle I wrote
is solid, right?

Yes.

You are an amazing writer.

Which reminds me,
do you remember

that songwriting contest I
mentioned a few weeks ago?

You're always telling
me what I should do.

It's hard to keep track.

Okay.

Remember that song
that you played me

with the lyrics I love?

That is good, isn't it?

Maybe I should have
someone record it.

I'm so happy you agree,

'cause I went ahead
and I submitted it.

You did what?

Come on, you have
nothing to lose.

[soft guitar music]

I can't believe
you did this to me.

I don't have time for this.

And what if I have
plans for that song?

Like what?

Before this place, you were
all about being a singer

and songwriter, and now all you
do is bury yourself in work.

Which brings me to the singer
that I mentioned earlier.

We are gonna record you
singing today's jingle.

And I know you don't
like performing anymore,

and you're just a writer.

But you need to do this.

You've gotta be kidding me.

We have no choice.

- No way.
- Why not?

Zoey, I can't, can
you please just do it?

Oh, if you say so.

[clears throat]

♪ Say goodbye to
grease and grime ♪

♪ With To Go, you'll

Yeah, you're not
gonna do this, Zoey.

I told, you we need you.

Okay, there has
to be someone else.

Who else, Laura?

We have no more time,
and I know you can sing.

I-I can't believe
this was your solution.

You got any better ideas?

Okay.

Just turn around, 'cause I
can't perform under pressure.

[sighs]

[key clicks]

- [key clicks]
- Okay, voice of an angel.

Check.

Oh, before I forget, Scott
Brooks is coming to the meeting.

He had a total crush on
you when he worked here.

So no distractions.

Okay, no way.

He's just a friend.

Oh!

Great!

Great.

[lightly suspenseful music]

Perfect timing.

[Zoey] I don't, I
don't have anything.

[applause]

Now that we've talked analytics,

let's get to the
heart of the campaign.

Stains can ruin
important moments like

birthdays, weddings,
and even crucial pitches.

This morning I
experienced the stress

of a stain on my shirt.

This product made me
realize that it gets rid

of stains and stress.

It does its job so
that I can do mine.

That was you singing, right?

Uh, yes, but that's
just a temp vocal.

- I'm not a--
- No, no.

No need to be modest.

Makes me think of my daughter.

She's always
singing in her room,

but she's too shy to
share with the world,

and she's almost as good as you.

Nice move with the stain.

Wow.

Great work up there.

Thanks, Scott.

So you're back in town?

Yeah, Carl wanted me
back closer to head office.

How about a coffee?

Uh, yeah.

Sure.

I can meet you
outside in like 10?

Great.

- Okay.
- All right.

Well, you really pulled
that outta thin air.

I guess high school
acting paid off.

You know, Nancy
really loved it.

Ms. Future Head of Marketing.

Fingers crossed.

You know, you're lucky.

She still calls me Chloe.

Great job today, Laura.

Thanks.

Consider yourself
a front runner

for the Head of Marketing role.

Send me your best jingles
as soon as you can.

Buy Town has a new campaign,

and if you can deliver
another pitch like that,

the promotion's yours.

Yes, of course, I'd love to.

And great job, Chloe.

[Laura sighs]

I can just change my name.

Your singing
today was fantastic.

I know Carl was impressed.

We actually have this
national campaign coming up.

You should pitch.

Yeah, that's what I'm
working on with Nancy.

Hopefully we can deliver.

Well, uh, Carl's whole
big thing is authenticity.

So, just be yourself.

[laughs]

[phone rings]

Oh, sorry, one second.

Okay, I gotta take this.

I would love to do
this again soon, eh?

Yes?

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

Okay, that's a promise.

I'll see you later.

Scott here.

So, excited to use
that song you like

for the new campaign.

Well, that's
great, but you can't.

Why not?

You won the contest.

- What?
- Look.

Oh.

[soft, wondrous music]

"Congratulations
on being the winner

of the Songbird
Songwriting Contest."

No, no, no, no, no, no.

This isn't happening.

- No, no.
- You are so talented.

Come on.

You just needed a nudge
in the right direction.

And look, it worked.

It's not ready.

And what about the jingle
for the new campaign?

Oh, don't worry about it.

You'll write another one.

You just need to sign the
release form for the song.

It's exciting!

Revelist Records.

Yeah.

It's run by Jackson Walker.

He's like a, a Luke
Bryan or a Brad Paisley.

He releases music
through his own label.

Hm.

Hey y'all,
Jackson Walker here,

and Revelist Records is
so excited to announce

that we have found our winner
for the Songbird contest

with a new song that is
sure to get in your head

and your hearts.

See, he's gonna add
your song to his set list

for his upcoming concert.

- Sure.
- It's perfect.

Great.

Yeah, just one minor detail.

Jackson Walker is my ex.

Oh.

Yes.

Hello?

[Nancy]
Hello, Laura?

Nancy, hi.

I think the lyrics
you sent for the jingle

are perfect for
the new campaign.

Oh, uh, that was fast.

Are you sure?

'Cause, 'cause I can
write another one.

No need, I love these lyrics.

I need you to prep a pitch

so we can present a new
jingle next Thursday.

Oh, that's a quick turnaround.

Well, we need to move quickly

if we're gonna land this deal.

I trust that's not
a problem for you.

No, I can do it, no problem.

Perfect.

That's what I need in a
new Head of Marketing.

Please sign the release

that I emailed you
a few minutes ago.

We need to license it to
the client if they like it.

Of course.

I'm signing now.

And done!

[keys click]
[Nancy]
I don't see

Really?

Um, let me check.

[keys clicking]

How about now?

[phone chimes]

- Got it.
- Okay.

[Nancy] Looking forward
to seeing your pitch.

[lightly suspenseful music]

Laura?

Uh.

[Nancy] Laura?

Yeah, yeah, that's great.

Have a good weekend.

[lightly suspenseful music]

[phone ringing]

Revelist Records.

How may I direct your call?

Hi, I'd like to speak
to Jackson Walker, please.

Oh, may I ask who's calling?

It's--

Uh, it's Kale La.

Sorry?

- Kayla?
- Uh, yes.

I had a question
about the contest.

Oh, that's closed now.

Oh, I just really
need to speak with him.

Okay, well, the earliest
appointment I have

is three weeks from now.

Oh.

Well, it's kind of an emergency.

I wish I could help, but
with the studio sessions

and the Songbird contests,
I mean, he's fully booked.

Thanks for calling.

Have a great night.

[receiver clicks]

[phone beeps]

[phone thuds]

[Zoey] Isn't this
a little drastic?

Trust me, I know him
better than anyone.

This has to be in person.

Even if I get him on the phone,

he'll be too stubborn to listen.

But you'll be back for the
presentation next week, right?

Definitely.

I talked to Nancy, said
I needed a couple days

off for some inspiration.

As long as I'm back before
the pitch, she's fine.

I mean, this is the biggest
opportunity of your life.

I'll do my best to cover
for you while you're away.

Don't worry, I'm gonna fix it.

Plus, it'll be nice
to see my grandma.

I miss her.

With this concert
deal Jackson's made,

Revelist is going to blow up.

He's gonna perform a new song.

I think it's gonna
be his next hit.

Oh, hi.

Hi.

I'd like to speak to
Jackson Walker, please.

Oh, do you have
an appointment?

No, I don't.

I was just hoping I
could talk to him.

Yeah, unfortunately he's in
a recording session right now.

- Oh.
- As I was saying.

That's okay.

Okay.

[lively guitar music]

Excuse me, you can't do that!

[equipment clatters]

Sorry.

[button clicks]

What are you doing?

Hi!

Laura.

I told her not to.

It's okay, Meghan.

I would like to speak
with you, alone preferably.

Yeah.

Okay.

Everyone take 10.

[robust guitar music]

[door closes]

Sunflower.

Long time, no see.

What's it been, like five years?

Sunflower is sort
of a back-then thing,

so we don't have to--

There's been a mix-up,

and you own some
lyrics that I wrote.

Mix-up?

Yep.

I won that.

Entry number 120.

Yeah.

That's my song.
I never thought you'd submit to my contest.

No, I didn't.

I didn't.

My friend did.

I write jingles for
marketing campaigns, and so--

Well, your writing's changed.

In a good way, I mean.

Thanks.

But uh, you can't have it.

I'd like my song back.

So, you know, if you could
just sign off on the release

and remove my song
from the contest--

Laura, as soon as you
signed the release forms,

we announced it on
all our socials.

But, well, that was a mistake.

I didn't mean to sign it.

"These lyrics left
me speechless."

Okay, easy now.

I don't want your
ego blowing up.

I can't give it back now though.

It'll be a PR disaster.

And I'm performing

at the Harbor Sling
Showcase next Thursday.

I mean, it's gonna amazing.

It's being televised nationwide.

We've got multiple
different bands coming in.

We've got the stage, the lights.

It's all part of the
same record deal.

I can't, I can't even
believe it myself.

It's gonna be huge, Laura.

It's gonna be on TV?

Yeah, that was
part of the prize.

[Laura sighs]

I mean, it'd be
great exposure for you,

unless of course you don't want

your song to be a massive hit.

I'll have you know, plenty
of my songs are hits, okay?

What, you mean your jingles?

Yes.

Right.

Don't judge me.

I just thought maybe you'd
be more excited about all this.

Well, you thought wrong.

I'm up for promotion, and
you've taken my songs, so--

"Taken."

Wow, okay.
Well, as much as I would love you to stick around

you should probably get going.

[Laura laughs]

Are you serious?

It's outta my hands.

Jackson, come on.

It's nice seeing you.

You look good, by
the way, Sunflower.

Sorry.

Laura.

Jackson!

[sighs]

[lively guitar music]

[mid-tempo country music]

Sweetheart!

Oh, it is so good
to have you home!

I miss you too, Grandma.

Come on in.

[bittersweet music]

I wish you could stay longer.

I wish I could stay
longer too, but I can't.

I've been teaching
voice lessons in here,

and I had to
rearrange your things,

but I left most of them up.

Now, if you were gonna
be staying longer,

which would be fantastic,

I would go store everything
here in another room somewher.

The basement is empty now.

Your mom and dad
finally shipped the last

of their stuff to Texas.

[Laura] We were so young.

You and Jackson were
such a sweet couple.

You know, he still subs
in to play the piano

for the choir
every now and then,

get some of the younger
ones out and excited.

I didn't know you
two still talked.

You know I've always
been a fan of his.

Whatever happened
to that songbook

that you and Jackson made?

You were such a
great writing team.

[Laura sighs]

Funnily enough, my song
just won his contest.

That's actually why I'm here.

Well, that's wonderful!

And isn't it just like you two

to be coming
together over a song

and sharing your
love of music again?

Yeah, only this time
I'm not here to share.

I need my song back for
a promotion at work.

Oh, well, I'm sure you two
will figure something out.

Let me go make you
something to eat.

No, no, I'm fine.

[phone chirps]

This is a huge mistake.

I can't let him
take my lyrics away.

[Rose sighs]

He used to take
your breath away.

You know what?

You've had a long day.

So why don't you get some rest,

and then tomorrow you can
help me do some baking

for the Farmer's Fest, just
like when you were little.

Okay?

Oh.

[smooches]

Thanks, Grandma.

[bittersweet music]

[sighs]

[upbeat music]

I have been talking for
more than a minute solid,

and I don't think you've
heard a word that I said.

Sorry.

I'm just really stressed
about work right now.

Sweetie, singing
used to relax you.

Where's that beautiful
voice that I love to hear?

Laura?

Is that you?

- Kelly?
- Hi!

- Hey you.
- Hi, Adam.

Great to see you.

Wow, look at us.

The old crew is back together.

Sure is.

And we've added
one more I see.

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

We're excited.

What about you?

We heard Jackson's
gonna sing your song.

Any chance the two of
you will sing it together

like the good old days?

That would be fun.
No, I don't perform anymore.

I-I write marketing
campaigns for big brands now.

Never imagined you
in an office job.

That makes two of us.

Well, I think it's cool.

Thanks, Kelly.

So I hear you're a stylist now?

Yeah, yeah.

I'm even dressing this
guy up for the concert.

If only he was into fringe.

- No.
- Love to see that.

Yeah, you would, wouldn't you?

I like a classic look, cowboy
boots and a jean jacket.

You are a rising country star.

You need to dress the part.

Oh, you could dress
me for the concert.

Who knows?

I might end up on TV.

I would love that, Rose.

I will stop by with
some dress options.

That's a date.

Oh, check it out.

I'll be right back, guys.

[Adam] Hey, you
guys wanna get a pic?

Is that really
happening right now?

- Oh yeah.
- Yep.

No, he's a big deal now.

In fact, we are the only ones

who will help to keep
him level-headed.

- Good luck with that.
- No, no.

You're not off the hook.

We need all the help we can get.

Now, he told me he
wants to turn this place

into a mini Nashville.

Really?

Well, if you wanna make it
in music, it's not here.

Well, with Revelist
Records in town,

a lot of artists are
deciding to stick around.

Yeah, and with the Harvest
Lane Showcase being televised,

there are gonna be a lot
of eyes on Grove Hill.

Hey, what are
you doing tonight?

We are going ax throwing
for my birthday.

You should come.
Yeah, I'd love to.

Hey, what'd I miss?

Oh, we were just talking
about how uncool you are.

Yeah.

Oh, hey, now you kids,
you leave him alone.

Jackson, how's the
new album coming?

Yeah, it's, it's coming.

Hey, as soon as
you have something,

I want the exclusive scoop.

We're also gonna
be doing a segment

for Farmer's Fest tomorrow.

Ah, the news never sleeps.

You should come by.

We're gonna be there
selling pies, won't we?

- Yeah.
- Oh, I will.

Grandma's helping the church
raise funds for a new piano.

Oh. What would
they do without you?

Speaking of food, I am
craving a cheeseburger.

And olives.

She is obsessed with olives.

You guys hungry?

I could eat.

What do you say, ladies?

It's my treat.

We could even get
fries and ice cream.

Fries and ice cream.

Haven't had that combo in ages.

You know, as tempting as that
sounds, we have pies to make.

- So.
- All right.

Suit yourself.

See you tonight, 7 P.M.

- Mwah!
- Bye!

[mid-tempo guitar music]

[soft, thoughtful music]

No way.

Oh my, I remember that.

Look at all the songs
you two wrote together.

You know, there was
magic between you.

It feels like forever ago.

Thanks.

You two might not
be together anymore,

but I will never forget
how supportive he was

when you got into that
music school and he didn't.

That showed real character.

Yeah.

He was loyal.

You should have joined
them for food earlier.

You know, taken the time
to reconnect with him.

[saucer thuds lightly]

It's so weird
being around him now.

I don't even know
how to explain it.

Do you think he
knew it was your song?

I don't know.

He says he didn't
recognize my lyrics,

but it doesn't even matter.

I just, I need my lyrics back.

My boss, Nancy, wants
to use it in a pitch

for our biggest client.

My promotion's riding on it.

Oh, honey, I am
so proud of you.

You sound like
you're doing well.

Thanks, Grandma.

But Jackson wants me
to be chasing dreams

I had in high school.

Well, unless these are
dreams that you still have.

No, no, no, I-I
didn't give up on them.

I just, I just found a new path.

I mean, touring was hard
and, and people change.

That's true, we do.

And it's also true that
some things never change.

Like you singing
and writing songs

ever since you were little.

It's a part of you.

Okay, you remember--

♪ Daylight, sunlight ♪

♪ When I'm home,
I'll be all right ♪

I remember that.

You know, when you
were little, your mom

and I used to joke that
even when you were crying,

that your cries were
in perfect tune.

[soft piano music]

How do I convince Jackson
to let go of this song?

You'll think of something.

I am just so glad
to have you home.

[chuckles]

[upbeat guitar music]

Hello?

[Nancy]
Laura? Hi.

Sorry to call you on a Sunday,

but I need your proposal
for the pitch ASAP.

And can you send me a
recording of your jingle?

Really, but I thought
we had until next week.

I know, but I wanna
review it all in advance

and be ready, just in case
we have to make any changes.

So, when can you get it to me?

Uh, I can have it in
your inbox by Tuesday.

Great.

I'll let Carl know and send
him just the lyrics for now.

Okay.

You know, I was hoping
to take some time off

to prep for the presentation.

You're gonna be back in
time for the pitch, right?

Yes. I was also thinking..you know..,strategy wise

it might be more impactful
to reveal the song

at the meeting.

Build up some anticipation.

[laughs]

Yes.

Yes, that sounds like it could
be the stronger approach.

Good thinking.

Yes, totally.

[Nancy]
Oh, I've got
another call coming through.

But remember, I'm
counting on you.

[sighs]

Okay.

[sighs]

Jackson?

Jackson?

Hello?
[bell dings]

Jackson.

Hello?

Jackson!

Jackson!

[soft piano music]

What are you doing?

Oh!

Oh.

Is that pie?

Yeah, just a little
peace offering.

How strategic.

I'd say thoughtful.

Hm.

What happened to you?

Oh yeah, sorry for the mess.

I was just down
in the crawlspace,

reorganizing some gear.

Meghan's off on Sundays.

Can you pass me that shirt?

Thanks.

Sorry, I didn't mean to, uh,
make you feel uncomfortable.

No, please.

As you were.

As I was?

Should I just take it
off again, then, or?

[Laura scoffs]

Don't flatter yourself.

Hey.

Hey, sorry, am I interrupting?

You said it'd be cool
if I came by now?

No, all good.

Laura, this is Cale,
talented guitarist.

Played on my last album.

And Cale, this is Laura,
winner of our Songbird contest.

Hi.
Laura Hollis, hi.

Wait, are you
related to Rose Hollis?

Yeah, she's my grandma.

No way.

She's my voice teacher.

Yeah, I think she's pretty
much everyone's voice teacher.

Cale needs help with a song.

He's gonna propose
to his girlfriend.

If I don't chicken out first.

Can I hear what you have?

Yeah, of course.

Okay.

So, I have, "I get so nervous
every time I see your eyes.

One day maybe you'll
realize what I feel inside."

I don't know about
the next line.

No, you got it.

No, I don't, man.

"What I feel inside."

I want Shyla to love it.

Okay.

Do you mind if I take a look?

Yeah, of course.

"I get so nervous every
time I see your eyes.

One day maybe you'll
realize what I feel inside."

When on this night--

Our fates collide.

There's nowhere to hide.

With you is where--

My love resides.

You guys are so in sync.

[both] Mm-hm.

Well, uh, your
song sounds great.

It does now.

I think it's more than great.

- I say we record it.
- Really?

You get set up,
I'll hop in the booth.

Okay.

You sticking around, Laura?

I'd love your perspective.

No, no, I-I can't--

Excuse us.

Yeah.

Get comfortable.

All right, man, sounds good.

All right, listen.

He wants our help.

He is a talented musician.

He's thinking about
moving to Nashville,

and I can't lose another artist.

Well, what do I get out of it?

What do you want?

I can't just give
you back the song.

- Then you're on your own.
- Laura.

Come on, it's, it's for love.

Don't you have a heart?

Okay, fine.

I will--

We can sit down and I'll
consider, consider your side.

I like it when you beg.

[upbeat music]

All right, Cale,
let's get to work.

Yes!

How was that, man?

That was it.

What do you think, Laura?

I think you have
a wedding to plan.

Whoo!

Okay, I'm coming in.

All right.

You guys have no idea
how much this means.

- Oh.
- She is gonna love it.

Great job, man.

I'm gonna get that mixed
tonight and right over to you.

You're the man, dude.

Hey, thank you guys, for real.

- I'll walk you out.
- All right.

[soft music]

- That was kind of fun.
- Yeah.

Maybe it's not so bad
having you around.

Oh, look at that.

Jackson's got a soft side.

Well, don't tell anyone.

Our tour van.

Yeah.

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

Barely enough room
for one in that thing.

Well, I think we
would've made due.

But you were right.

Something newer
would've been better.

Broke down two weeks in.

[chuckles]

So, I've got some work
that I gotta do now.

Oh, I was hoping we
could grab a coffee.

Yeah.

No, actually we, we could.

Talk about the song.

Because you were gonna
give it back to me.

[Jackson chuckles]

Right.

Because I said I'd consider it.

Okay.

I've considered it.

And no.

You should really
read the fine print

before you sign things.

Okay, why are you
being like this?

Because I like seeing
you all riled up.

The thing is, I already
have a version of the song.

You do?

Mm-hm.

I could show you.

No, I don't wanna hear it.

Look, I brought you pie.

So what?

That equals the song back?

Yes.

And I helped you with Cale.

Look, I don't wanna fight.

Can we just sit down like normal
adults and talk about this?

The show is on Thursday.

There just isn't enough time.

I promised the
network a new song,

and I have a
reputation to maintain.

Look, you probably
have so many

other entries to choose from.
Just choose one of them.

No, none were this good.

And changing my mind last
minute isn't my thing.

It's yours.

[Laura sighs]

Okay.

Laura.

Laura!

[somber music]

[phone chimes]

[slow-tempo guitar music]

I remember you.

[upbeat music]

[axes thudding]

Hi, you made it!

Oh, happy birthday!

Thank you.

I brought you the
fanciest ones I could find.

You are amazing.

Come.

Wow.

This place has not changed.

Right?

There they are.

Hey, how's it going?

Hey, I hope you didn't take

what I said the other
day the wrong way.

- No.
- About working in an office.

No, no, no, no, it's fine.

It's just, when I
think of Laura Hollis,

I think of you singing on stage.

Right.

Well, that was then.

But, uh, what about you?

Well, on the home front,

I'm focused on
Kelly and the baby.

And at work, Jackson's showcase
is getting huge traction.

Did I tell you the station
is expecting huge numbers?

You're going, right?

Oh, no.

No, I have a huge, huge pitch,

and my presentation's
scheduled for then, so.

Well, that's bad timing.

And to top it off,
she actually doesn't want me to sing the song at all.

No, she's on a long and painful
quest to try to get it back.

[Laura scoffs]

Yeah, it might seem
like she's here to play,

but really it's
just another tactic

to try to get what she wants.

That's right, Jackson,

because everything is
about you, isn't it?

No, actually what I was
saying, if you were listening--

[Laura] I was.

Is that everything is
about you and your song.

There it is.

My song.

My song that I wrote that
I don't want you to sing.

Except I already
have, remember?

The version that
you won't listen to.

You know what?
How about a wager?

I win, you have to
listen to my version.

You win, you get it back.

- Are you serious?
- Yep.

Game on.

Whoo-hoo!

Howdy.

Well, technically, the
runner up is the second winner.

Your pep talk seriously
needs some work.

[Kelly laughs]

[phone rings]

Hello?

[Zoey]
Hey Laura,
thank goodness!

We have a big problem.

What, what is it?

[dial tone]

Zoey?

Zoey!

[sighs]

I gotta go.

Work is calling,
my phone just died.

It's okay, I get it.

Here.

Thank you so much for coming.

I miss you!

I miss having you around.

I miss you too.

And I can't wait
to meet the baby.

So soon.

Adam.

- You heading out?
- Yeah.

Great to see you.

- Great to see you too.
- Bye!

- Bye, guys.

That was always the deal, right?

That's the one good

You don't have a
charger, do you?

All right, fine.

More for me.

Oh no.

Is this the revenge you wanted?

You are a child.

I'm sorry.

Would you rather me just
take my shirt off again?

[both chuckle]

Fries and ice cream.

Probably my greatest idea.

Are you still mad at me?

No.

Well, yeah.

I'm more mad at myself
for giving my lyrics out.

I actually have to go.

But good game.

[soft music]

Laura!

Hey, wait up!

No time.

You going to the
Farmer's Fest tomorrow?

Yeah.

I'm gonna help Grandma set up.

Kind of in a rush here.

Well, great.

I'll drive you home.

Parked just over there.

Fine.

Thanks.

Hey.

Thanks, by the way, for
helping with Cale today.

Yeah, you're welcome.

I mean it.

Honestly, I kind of
needed you there.

Hate to admit it,
but I've kind of been

going through some
writer's block.

Oh?

Not that you would
know what that's about.

Always been so great
with your words.

Yeah, not so great
at other things.

Like what?

Performing?

[door closes]

You know that's not true.

Still stuck on the showcase.

Okay, can we not?

So what?

You got the yips once.

It's not the yips.

That's what they say in sports.

Ah, it's the same thing.

Performing in front
of a live audience.

You froze one time.

It's a long time ago.

You can get past that.

Who cares?

I care.

Can we go?

Fine.

I'll drive you home.

But first, I wanna play
you the song, my version.

Bet's a bet.

I knew you'd flag that.

I was still thinking
about switching out

the guitar for the piano and--

No, it's not the instruments.

I just, I don't think
it's gonna work.

[Jackson strums guitar]

You know who wrote, "I
Will Always Love You"?

The one and only Dolly Parton.

That's right, 1974.

Well, Whitney Houston
covered it in '92.

Dolly made over 10
million in royalties.

And did you know that Elvis
actually wanted that song,

and she stood her
ground and said no?

So, what?

Are you saying I'm Elvis?

Thank you, thank you very much.

No, I'm saying
that, that I'm Dolly,

and, and, you know, she
wrote like 3,000 songs.

I can write one more.

What if I wrote
you another song?

You could try.

Try?

You're gonna love it so much,

you're gonna beg me to
take back "Count on Me."

There you go again,
wanting me to beg.

Zoey? Hi.

She needs the
proposal by tomorrow?

But I just talked to her.

No, no, I didn't say I
would record the jingle.

And, and she said, she said
we could hold off until--

Carl likes my voice?

Okay, then, then that's
what it'll be, then.

An upbeat jingle with my
vocals coming right up.

I'll get it to you by tomorrow.

Thanks for the heads up.

I have to record a jingle

and write a new song
for Jackson by tomorrow.

There's a fresh pot of
coffee in the counter.

Laura?

I'll be right down!

[sighs]

[purposeful music]

Okay.

Now, just wait for it.

- Okay.
- Okay, there.

Now, make sure that you
keep them all upright.

I'll try.

All right, let's go.

Okay.

Ah!

Here we go.

Why don't I take some of these?

Oh, thank you.

- Now where--
- Thank you.

Oh, you're welcome.

Oh wait, look,
there are the ladies!

Yoo-hoo!

Once you drop off the pies,

then you two just go
and enjoy yourselves.

- Hi.
- Hi.

So, I have something for you.

Oh, me too.

Popcorn.

Oh.

[popcorn crunches]

What?

They're so sweet.

Well, it's kettle corn.

It's supposed to be sweet.

I guess my tastes
have changed.

Speaking of change,
what if I change the tempo

and we work on
the song together?

Oh, so now you
wanna collaborate?

Yeah.

What's wrong with that?

Whoo!

I see your point.

But I have something I
think you'll like better.

[Jackson laughs]

- You wrote a new song.
- Yep.

I don't know how you do it.

All right, fine, let's hear it.

I'm not singing it.

Just read it.

There it is again.

The yips.

Quit stalling.

Just read it.

Well, I'm just trying to
make friendly conversation.

[soft guitar music]

And?

And it's well written.

It's got lots of
great metaphors.

Flows nicely.

But meh.

Are you serious?

It's good.

It is good, but
where's the heart?

There's heart.

No, it, it needs,
it needs passion.

It needs to be real, Laura.

I want it to, I want it
to grab me, you know?

Yeah.

[phone chirps]

Scott?

Scott!

Laura!

Hey.

- Hey.
- Hi.

What are you doing here?

I'm visiting my grandma.

Ah, of course.

Oh, uh, Scott,
this is Jackson.

- Hi.
- Hi.

Nice to meet you.

You too.

I work for Buy Town.

They sent me down here to
visit the regional office.

Well, I guess I'll
let you two catch up.

Promised I'd go
help sell some pies.

Sorry, did I just
interrupt a date?

A date?

No, definitely not a date.

- Okay, well, for you.
- Thanks.

I'm sure you heard Carl's
leaning towards your company

for the new campaign.

How's it going?

Uh, honestly, there's
been a few hiccups.

Really, I thought
you were almost done.

Nancy sent it to Carl.

Carl showed it to
the whole team.

He's really excited.

That's great,
uh, but the jingle.

Yeah, can't wait to
hear the final version.

He loves the lyrics
and your voice.

We're now pushing for this
to be an international ad.

Jackson owns the song
I used for the jingle.

Uh, whew.

Okay, that's not good.

I thought you wrote it.

I-I did, but I accidentally
signed it to his label,

and now he won't give
it back, and it's--

Okay, you mean you
signed a release form?

Forward it to me and I will
figure out a loophole somewhere.

I don't know.

He's pretty thorough
with that stuff, I just--

Trust me, these
small businesses,

they just copy and paste
contracts off the Internet.

It will not hold up in court.

Okay, I'll send it to you now.

Okay.

I-I can't find it.

Sometimes the releases
go straight to the company.

You have to ask 'em for a copy.

Great.

Look, if Carl
can't get the jingle,

it'll definitely
jeopardize your pitch.

I know.

That's why I'm here
trying to fix this.

Send me the release
as soon as you can,

and I will help
you figure it out.

Okay.

Thanks, Scott.

No problem.
All right, ladies and gentleman .Step right up.

We've got pies, we've got apple,

we've got blueberry and
cherry and that's right,

everybody's favorite, of
course, we've got pumpkin!

Don't forget all the proceeds

go to the church
choir's new piano.

Come on!

Well, I better
go help my grandma.

Yeah.

See ya.

Okay, Rose, I have some
great options for you.

Oh, those are great!

I'm so looking
forward to Thursday.

Everyone is gonna be there.

[Kelly] Some
silks, some patterns.

I'm thinking blue for you.

Is this a bit too
much for my age?

No, never.

Very reflective though.

I think it's great.

[hangers rattling]

[Rose] Will you look at that?

It's your lucky color.

You would not step on stage

unless you were
wearing that color.

I still wear it
in all my pitches.

Well, you should try it on.

I may or may not have snuck
it in there just for you.

Come on, play dress up with us.

[Rose] Try it on!

[both] Try it on on,
try it on, try it on!

Try it on!

- Fine.
- Yay!

[laughs]

[soft music]

By the way,

what do you think of
Jackson's latest hit song?

Oh!

It's a beautiful song.

It must be surreal
knowing it's about you.

What?

It's not about me.

Oh honey, even I knew that.

When it became a hit,
he started struggling.

Couldn't get the next one out.

He's just been putting too
much pressure on himself.

[Rose] And now
with the concert--

And the deal he has
with the TV network.

- Oh right.
- Wait, what deal?

Well, he's required
to perform a new song,

which is why he did the contest.

To find one that
is worth singing.

Did he say what brought
on his writer's block?

He's a romantic.

Needs inspiration.

And you know, I guess he
hasn't had any kind of romance.

So, are we saying yes?

To what?

To the dress!

Oh.
Yeah, I don't, I don't have anywhere I'd wear it to

It's my treat.

Consider it a just-in-case
kind of outfit.

And I will not take
no for an answer.

[Laura sighs]

[mid-tempo guitar music]

[Jackson] So you
don't have a copy?

Meghan should have said that.

I don't, and I need
it for my records.

Okay.

It's sent.

[Laura] ♪Say goodbye
to grease and grime ♪

♪ With To Go, you'll
be just fine ♪

I'm never gonna get
that outta my head.

I wrote that.

What?

That jingle.

♪ Say goodbye to
grease and grime ♪

Oh, of course you did.

And what inspired it?

My deadline.

See, I wish that
did it for me.

Well, I'm glad you like it.

I don't know about like it.

More like it's gonna
be stuck in my head

for the next three days.

That's the idea.

Think of me as the jingle fairy,

sprinkling catchy
tunes wherever I go.

Yeah, but no one even
knows that it's you.

That's how I like it.

Connecting with people
without them even realizing it

Since when?

You've always
wanted to stand out.

Do you remember our very
first Harvest Lane showcase?

You rocked the brightest
dress you could find.

I had to wear my dad's
cowboy hat just to keep up.

Except you
couldn't see a thing.

That hat was way
too big for you.

Oh, well, the things
you do for love.

Like how I'd walk
you to the microphone

every time you were nervous?

Ooh.

Maybe I played it up
a couple of times.

Why?

'Cause you wanted
to hold my hand?

Always one step ahead of me.

And it would be nice
to sing together again.

What, like a duet?

Yeah, why not?

Because just thinking about
it makes me wanna pass out.

Well, should I
give you a deadline?

Nice try.

I'll always try with you.

This one?

Yeah.

I think I have an
idea how to get you

over this fear of yours.

That's impossible.

Come by the church
hall tomorrow.

9:00 A.M.

I've got something in mind.

Okay.

[somber guitar music]

So Buzz Chime Marketing
can't use the lyrics

on an exclusive basis

because Jackson also
has rights to it?

Yeah, I still have
my colleagues in

legal looking into it.

What are we gonna do?

Like Nancy's gonna lose it.

I'm definitely not
getting the promotion now.

I may have a solution.

Please, anything.

Get Jackson on board
to sing the jingle.

What?

No.

Jackson thinks I'm a
sellout for writing jingles.

Hear me out.
Jackson's a rising star, right?

And I wasn't gonna say anything,

but Carl's daughter
is a big fan.

If you can get Jackson to sing
and share it on his socials,

I think Carl will go for it.

So you want me to--

Convince Jackson
to sing the jingle.

His name and your song will
be known around the world.

I can try, but believe me,
he's not gonna go for it.

Well, we'll see.

[Laura sighs]

[bittersweet music]

- Hey.
- Hey.

Coffee.

Thanks.

Oat milk latte.

You remembered.

Well, nice to know not all
your tastes have changed.

And you're gonna need it.

What are we
doing here exactly?

You'll see.

[Laura chuckles]

[bright music]

Could have given
me a heads up.

Would've worn
appropriate footwear.

All right, turn here.

And that is perfect.

All right.

Okay.

What a beautiful piano.

And all thanks to
Grandma Rose's baking.

I can't believe she sold
enough pies to afford this.

Wait, there's no way.

Did you get--

It's really not a big deal.

I like giving back
to the community.

So remind me again
how this is supposed

to help me find my voice.

We'll get there.

So secretive.

Secret.

Oh, I have to
tell you something.

[soft, suggestive music]

[Jackson] And the door
to that storage closet

still doesn't close properly.

Wasn't this our, never mind.

Our first kiss in here.

Yeah.

[soft romantic music]

This is a lot smaller
than I remember.

Huh, what are you waiting for?

Get up there.

- What?
- It's not gonna bite you.

- No.
- Oh, come on.

Remember, you're
making me do this.

Oh, Jackson!

Let me down.

I will once
we're on the stage.

Okay, this is really
like not necessary.

It's completely necessary
and so much more fun for me.

Ladies and gentlemen,

please welcome to the
stage Laura Hollis!

[switch clicks]

[electricity buzzes]

What are you doing?

What does it look
like I'm doing?

The last time Laura
was on this stage,

she was 18 years old

and her favorite
instrument was the guitar!

Still is.

Sorry, what's that?

Louder, I don't think the
people in the back can hear you.

Still is!

Oh, there she is.

Go ahead, give us a bow.

I haven't even--

No, you're right.

We need to hear something first.

Jackson, I'm, I'm not singing.

What did we used
to call the stage?

Our home.

That's right.

Our home.

Now close your eyes.

- What are you doing?
- Come on.

All right, now I want you
to take a deep breath.

Feel your feet underneath you.

And now your hands--

This is stupid.

Oh, okay, fine, scales it is.

Should we warm up first?

[jaunty piano music]

[Laura sings scale softly
to piano accompaniment]

Come on, I think
you can go louder.

[Laura sings scale to
piano accompaniment]

[Laura sings scale
with conviction]

Okay, now a song.

- A song?
- Whatever comes to mind.

[Laura sighs]

♪ Call me up from

Ladies and
gentlemen, she's back.

Yes!

I knew you still had it in you.

[phone chimes]

Uh, Laura, your phone.

Oh, sorry, I thought
I had it on silent.

Thanks.

I didn't mean to look,
but I did see my name.

Why is your friend Scott
texting you about me?

Oh!

Scott.

Yeah, Scott works in
business affairs for a client

I'm pitching Buy Town.

Um, I had him look over
the contract you sent me.

What do they
have to do with me?

I-I said they
could use my song

for a new product launch.

Why didn't you tell me?

I'm telling you now.

And you know, they,
they wanna use it

for a huge advertising campaign.

Oh!

So they're gonna turn
it into a jingle.

If it sells
product, then yeah.

A song to sell appliances.

See, this is why
I didn't tell you.

I'd knew you judge me.

I'm not judging you, Laura.

I'm just confused.

Okay.

How, how about this?

I take the lyrics
that I wrote you

and I-I rework them.

You said you wanted
more heart, right?

So I'll whip it up tonight.

Laura, you can't force heart.

It's not that mechanical.

You need to feel it.

You're gonna have
to work with me here,

'cause you're running
out of options.

What are you talking about?

I own the rights.

According to Buy Town, you
may not have exclusive rights.

And, and their lawyers
are all over it.

- Is that for real?
- Yeah.

[Jackson scoffs]

Laura, the Harvest Lane
Showcase is tomorrow.

I need a new original song.

I don't have another
song to sing.

I'm sorry.

Are you?

I need a song, not a jingle.

Jackson--

You know, it's
not just your career

that's on the line here.

Jackson!

Jackson!

[dramatic music]

[somber music]

Zoey, you need to
buy me more time.

Why?

I heard Scott told Carl

that you have a surprise
lined up for the presentation.

Oh, really?

Yeah.

Nancy said that it's all
part of the strategy,

and everyone's excited
for your final pitch.

Right.

- Build up anticipation.
- Yeah.

So, we're all expecting
you back here tomorrow.

I'll be here to help you
out as soon as you get in.

- This is your big break!
- Yeah.

[Rose] I thought you'd
be in much better spirits

after singing with Jackson.

It's complicated.

I feel worse than ever.

Being back here and seeing him
again has been really hard.

Memories can be
a powerful thing.

I just, I miss what we had,

and I feel like we're never

gonna get back to where we were.

Oh, it is never a good idea
to try to recreate the past.

Much better to work in
understanding where we are now.

You can't run from
your heart, Laura,

but you can use those feelings

to help guide you
in a new direction.

No, I-I chose this new path.

I-I thought it was
over, the old one.

Oh, sweetie.

You, you see this plant?

No matter where I repot it,
its roots go on with it.

You have made lots of brave
decisions in your life so far.

Heading off to college all on
your own, changing careers.

And you have taken some big,
big risks along the way,

and you have learned so much.

But it's time to be brave
again and follow your heart.

You're right.

You're always right.

Mm?

Who's the best grandma?

[Laura chuckles]

[quietly purposeful music]

Yeah, no, the
speakers are all rented.

It's just some of the
lights are wrong and--

Yeah, no.

I know, I'm aware, it's just--

Yeah.

Yeah, okay.

Yeah, okay.

You know, just let
me call you back.

You still have this.

You can take it if you want.

I was hoping it'd give me
some inspiration, but no luck.

I forgot all about these.

So I had my lawyer go
over the contract again,

and it's solid.

I can sing the song.

[Laura sighs]

Well, you can't.

Why?

Legally everything is fine.

Because I can't let you.

You can't let me.

Why can't you let me?

- Because--
- Because what?

Every time I come up with a
solution for this, Laura--

Because--

What is it about this song

that you don't want
me to sing it, Laura?

Because the song is about us!

Okay?

You knew.

Laura, I would recognize
your writing anywhere.

Those lyrics, they
moved me, gave me hope.

This was all a mistake.

You weren't supposed
to read them.

Oh, I know.

When you told me that the
first night I saw you,

it broke me all over again.

I don't know.

I guess, I guess I thought
that if I held onto the song

and helped you gain
back your confidence,

that maybe you'd
change your mind.

Well, it's too late for that.

You know, we're not
so different, Laura.

Who do you think I wrote
my last song about?

You wrote it that night?

I was a wreck.

And music's the only way
I could get through it.

Our breakup was a painful
choice that we both made.

Oh, you didn't leave
me with much of a choice.

I had just bombed
my final showcase.

I know that, Laura, but--

But what?

You didn't understand.

I was supposed to
close the show.

They only give that spot
to the best student.

And what did I do?

I froze.

I couldn't remember the
lyrics, let alone this song.

I-I let everyone down,
including myself.

I can't recover from that.

Stage fright happens, Laura.

Wasn't supposed
to happen to me.

And when I got off the stage,

all you could talk
about was the tour.

Because I was excited!

Laura, I couldn't wait for
the day where you graduated

and we could be together.

That tour was our plan.

Well, plans change.

What happened on
that stage was a sign

I'm not meant to go on tour.

Don't say that.

You are a singer, Laura.

I would've held you back.

That's the truth.

No, it isn't.

The truth is that I wouldn't
be here without you.

[Laura scoffs lightly]

You remember, I was
so afraid of the stage.

But you would take my hand,

and you walked me on
every single time.

I should have done
that for you back then.

I should have been more patient.

But look at you now.

You made it without me.

No, I made it because of you.

It's the words I sang about
you that got me here, Laura.

You make me better.

We make each other better.

I can't do this.

Getting over you was
the hardest thing.

So what?

You write songs about
people you're over?

I have to go back to work.

Do you, or are you just
hiding behind your job?

I still get to write songs
even if they're just jingles.

But do you love it?

The thing I love
isn't an option anymore.

You singing in that hall,

that magic that you
have, it is still there.

I just, I wish you could see it.

I can't.

I-I don't want your help.

Okay, I like my
life the way it is.

Without me.

[scoffs]

Okay.

You know what?

I won't sing your song tomorrow.

[pen scratches]

Go ahead and give your
boss the jingle version

and sell some stuff, I guess.

Well, what about the concert?

Not your problem, is it?

[somber music]

[somber piano music]

[light knock on door]

Oh, sweetie, are you sure
you're ready to go back?

Flight's in the morning,
pitch is in the afternoon.

Well, I'll be at
the concert tomorrow,

but I'll check in with
you right after, okay?

Grandma, I feel terrible.

Jackson and I, we shared
a lot of hard truths,

and I, he kept our
old songbook, and I--

Those songs are as
soulful as they get.

And they came from your heart.

There is a reason, I think,

that they found their
way back to you.

I just, I wanna go
back to my old life.

[phone chirps]

Hey, how's it going, everyone?

I just popped on here

to talk about the
Harvest Night Showcase.

As you know, I found a song
that I really connected with,

but what was that old saying,

when you love something,
you have to let it go.

I hope everyone still tunes
in for a new original of mine.

It might be a little rough,
but we'll see how it goes.

Thanks for the support, y'all.

Appreciate it.

Oh sweetie, it's
gonna be okay.

Come here.

It's okay.

It's okay, you'll figure it out.

You both will.

Just, uh, get some rest.

It's a big, big
day tomorrow, okay.

Love you.

[Laura] I'm headed
to the airport now.

I'm kind of nervous.

About the presentation later?

I wouldn't sweat it.

Many of the jingles Buy Town
acquires end up shelved.

What?

But you said Carl
loved the song.

You said it could
go international.

Yeah, but you know
how these things work.

Sometimes even the best
jingles don't get released.

I mean, your jingle is great,

but, uh, there's still
focus testing to do.

Look, take the pressure off.

You'll do fine.

Thanks, but, but
fine isn't good enough.

Sorry, I'm putting
everything I have into this.

That's what I like about
you, your work matters.

Actually, uh, there's
a lot I like about you.

What?

No, no, no, no, no.

I know what you're gonna say.

I-I just don't feel--

It's Jackson, right?

Yeah.

Honestly, as soon
as he started helping

your grandma out at the fair,

I knew I didn't stand a chance.

She does love him.

[Scott] Shoot, Carl's calling.

I will see you later.

You will be amazing.

Thanks.

[light, hopeful music]

[Nancy] She's gonna
be on time, right?

Yep.

Yeah, I'm just getting
everything ready.

[sighs]

Yeah, it's just up here.

Just on the left.

[upbeat music]

Where are you?

Hurry up!

Zoey, I'm coming.

Zoey, just stall them.

Stall them a little longer.

You need to be here right now!

[sighs]

Hey, can we check out
the cues for chords too?

Oh yeah, that's
great, thank you.

Zoey, I'll call you back.

No, no, no, no, Laura?

Laura.

Laura!

Laura [mumbles].

That's Laura?

Where is she?

Not here yet.

[chuckles weakly]

[door bangs]

[sighs]

I made a mistake.

You were right.

My lyrics are meant to
be sung from the heart.

I didn't know what I
wanted, but I do now.

And what is it that you want?

Look, I can't undo
leaving you on the tour,

but I can make it up to you now.

What if we perform
"Count on Me" together?

What?

My heart never changed.

I was just too afraid
to listen to it.

Work felt safe, and songwriting
and performing felt scary.

Buy Town can still use the song,

but after we
perform it together,

the way it's meant to sound.

Are they gonna
want us to sing it?

They'd be crazy not to.

[phone buzzes]

Zoey.

Carl.

Hi.

Hey Laura.

Everybody's here.

Okay, before you say
anything, please just turn

to Channel 12 and consider
this part of the pitch.

[soft, expectant music]

Well, what are we waiting for?

So, we're watching TV?

Chloe?

Yes, yes, yes, yes, we are.

Wait.

- What if--
- No.

You're done doubting yourself.

[crowd cheers and applauds]

Hi, everyone.

Well, my name is Jackson Walker.

[cheers and applause]

And this here is Laura Hollis!

[cheers and applause]

- Whoo!
- Whoo!

Whoo-hoo-hoo!

I knew that dress
would come in handy.

We're home.

Yeah.

[soft piano music]

Did that just happen?

We were just on TV.

That was everything
I wanted it to be.

[phone buzzes]

Hi.

So, so what did you guys think?

I've seen everything
I need to see.

I know it's not
what you expected.

No, it wasn't.

And while I admit it takes guts

to do what you did tonight.

Who am I kidding?

That was an incredible pitch.

I'm sold.

[Laura laughs]

Well done, both of you.

Thank you, sir.

As long as Laura and
I can sing together

and Revelist Records can
release the song first,

you can count us in
to do your campaign.

Sounds like a win-win to me.

We'll catch up on
the details later.

For now, go enjoy your night.

Bye!

[both laugh]

The song was always meant
to be a duet, wasn't it?

When I wrote it,

I always imagined us
performing it together.

I just never thought it
would actually happen.

It's just a way for
me to finally move on.

And now?

I realized I don't want to.

I'll never get over you.

Well, you don't have to.

Laura, I have never
stopped loving you.

I will always love you.

I will always love you too.

There they are.

Oh my goodness, sweetheart.

- Hi!
- You two were crazy good.

Those are for you.

Come here, you!

Hey, I'm so proud of you.

[crowd cheers]

Wait, you hear that?

They're calling for an encore.

Well, what are you doing?

Go on, you two get
back out there!

[crowd cheering]

[loud cheering and applause]

[cheering intensifies]

[triumphant music]

[loud cheering]

Well, you saw it
here first, Grove Hill,

Jackson Walker, and Laura Hollis
back for a country encore.
