This winter,
Elegant Events invites you

and your guest to
the fabulous Swiss Alps

for the ultimate celebration.

An unforgettable evening
begins as you enter through

the magical crystal snowfall

and are greeted with
the finest champagne.

I thought at this point,
waiters could be standing by

with frosted champagne
flutes for the clients.

It's a lovely touch, Chelsea.
And then?

And then they are escorted
to the hotel's grand ballroom

where we will create
the splendor

of a magnificent ice palace.

Is all of this in their budget?

They're music executives,
but it's a new company.

They're just
introducing themselves.

Yes, we're actually coming in

under the budget they gave us.

All of the numbers
are here in the packets

I provided in front of you.

Sorry.

I'm sure the rest of the
presentation is dazzling.

But you seem to have
everything well in hand here.

And I need to take this call.

No, Trish, there's so much more.

I will look it over later.

Who's the lead on the
anniversary party in the Marina?

Follow me. Do we have the final
numbers on the yacht rental?

I worked so hard and
I was just getting started.

I didn't even get to the food,
the entertainment.

Relax.

We all know you're the best
event planner at the company.

I just need Trish
to approve of this pitch.

You have nothing
to worry about. Trust me.

Well, we'll see.

No. I mean it.

- Do you wanna know how I know?
- Yes.

The new VP position?
Events Development?

Larry in the mailroom
says you're a shoe-in.

Wait. Me?
How does Larry know that?

He overheard Trish mention
the position

and your name in
the same sentence.

Vice President?
Wouldn't that be something?

And well-deserved after
all the big events

you've created for this company?

Chelsea?

- Do you have a minute?
- Of course.

Privately?

Told you so.

Hello.

This ice palace presentation
is remarkable.

I hope you know that.

I'm so glad you approve.

They will love it
or I will resign

and put you in charge
of the company.

Kidding.

I'll be doing this
until I'm 100.

But I can always depend on you.

You are such a valuable player
in this organization,

which is why...

Yes?

I would like you...

Yes?

To welcome our new hire
when he comes in

from Boston next week.

Show him around.

Bring him up to speed
on our procedures.

You've heard of Danny Abernathy?

Yes.

He spearheaded the
Metropolitan's Christmas Gala.

He's been on everyone's radar
for months, but we got him.

So take him under
your wing, will you?

Sure.

Is that all you wanted
to ask me, Trish?

Just out of curiosity, what
position is he getting?

He will be our new Vice
President of Events Development.

I know it's a lot to jump
into and I thought,

if anyone can
bring him up to speed,

well, who better than
Chelsea Whitmore?

Right.
No, who but Chelsea.

Great.

You have got to be kidding me!

You didn't get the promotion?

Chelsea, I'm so sorry.

Maybe it's a sign.

In a long list lately.

At first I break up with Bryce,

and then the rent hike
at my apartment,

the car trouble.

- You've had a rough year.
- And it's only January.

Garden salad?
Ranch on the side?

Right. The usual.
Thanks.

This came for you.
I signed for it.

Looks important.

It's my Uncle Grady.

In Colorado?

I thought you told me
he passed away.

He did, a couple of months ago.

But it says here that
he left something for me.

It's a deed.

To a chalet in Vail!

He left you a chalet,
a whole chalet?

The last time I saw him,
I was graduating high school.

Chelsea, this is gorgeous.

I feel terrible.

I mean, every winter
he asked me to visit.

But with work, I just...
there was no time.

And now this?

What do I do with it?

Rent it, sell it, loan it
to your best friend?

You know what?

Maybe this is the real sign.

You know what I've realized?

I... sorry.

I've made work my life.

24/7, day after day,
the same thing.

- Here we go.
- Thanks.

I mean, look at this.
I have a "usual".

I never thought of myself
as a "usual" type.

You could switch dressings.

This is bigger than
a salad, Vienna.

This is my life.

It's going nowhere.

Something has to change.

- Trish?
- Yes?

- Do you have a minute?
- Sure.

- You quit?
- I quit.

I'm turning in my apartment key,

filling the gas tank
and I'm heading north.

I already set the GPS,
I checked weather conditions.

I've even planned out
stops along the way.

But you're giving up everything!

The job.
Your paycheck?

Can you afford to do this?

I can't afford not to.

If I stay, there will always
be another Danny Abernathy

skipping past me
for a promotion.

I mean, it's a matter
of principle.

I'll just take some
time to consider my options

and clear my head.

And figure out what it is
I want to be when I grow up.

Maybe I'll change
careers entirely.

Maybe I'll start
my own business.

My life is a blank page.

You're actually good with that?

Good with it? No.
I'm terrified.

And isn't that exciting?

First time in Vail?

How'd you know?

Call it a hunch.
You planning on parking there?

Shouldn't I?

I wouldn't.
That's just me.

You can do what you like.

Okay.
Thank you so much for that.

Kevin will appreciate
your business.

Who's Kevin?

Kevin is the tow truck
driver here in town.

- No parking?
- Any time.

Well, you're parked.

There's a garage up the street.

I'd say follow the signs,

but they don't seem
to be your thing.

Just a block up,
left then left again.

All the way up there?

No, I'd rather find
something in town.

Yeah, you could try.

Are you serious?
Really?

I mean, is this how you
welcome everyone to Vail?

Why can't I just go into town?

There's no driving in town.
It's a pedestrian area.

No cars at all,

except, of course,
for yours at the moment.

So I should move it.

Or Kevin can.

There he is now.

Hey, Kev!

Welcome to Vail.

Hi! What a cutie!

Hi!

What a good dog.

Hi.

Willkommen.

Welcome.

I got that.

Everything is so cute,
so alpine.

You know, if you're
thinking about lunch,

you won't find a better burger.

Wow, half off, huh?

Best schnitzel in Vail.
Ask anybody.

Ask me. I own the place.

Well, you do have
a very honest face

and I will definitely try it
while I'm here.

But right now, I was looking
for a grocery store.

Just trying to stock the shelves
for a few weeks.

You're staying a while.

- I hope you enjoy your visit.
- Well, thank you.

Certainly better than
the welcome I just had.

Well, you're always welcome
at the Edelweiss.

Meanwhile, there's
a nice little market

down the next side street.

Tell them Karl sent you.

I'll do that.
Thank you, Karl.

Deliveries are in the showroom.

Which shutter needed
that new hinge?

The squeaky one,
the one on the left.

Right.

Really, Pop?
Half price?

It's only for lunch.

Prime tourist season.

Gotta stand out,
bring in the crowds.

You could give the food
away for free.

If I thought it would help...

Schokolde-Lebkuchen...

Spetzle... Spaetzle?

You look like you
could use some help.

Perfect timing.

Yeah, I was just trying
to find something

I don't have to translate.
Do you have any...

I don't work here.
You just seem a little lost.

I'm sorry.

I thought with the...
what do you call your dress?

The dirndl?

My uniform for my job
around the corner,

but if there's
something you need...

I was just looking for pasta.

One aisle over.

Perfect.

But as long as you're
in the German section,

you could try the spaetzle.

It's really good.
Eat like a local.

Is everything so Old World here?

Every part of Vail
has its charm,

West Vail, Lionshead, East Vail.

This is the village.

It's the original section,
so it's more traditional.

So it's like a theme park,
just without the rides.

We have those too, skiing,
bicycles, ice skating.

How long are you visiting?

I'm...

long enough to try this.

Well, if you don't
feel like cooking someday,

come around to the restaurant.
The schnitzel's terrific.

- Must be The Edelweiss.
- You know it?

A nice man named Karl
gave me the same pitch.

My boss, and he's right.
Best in town.

Ask for Molly when you come by.
The Gluhwein's on me.

Well, thanks.
What is that?

Spiced wine.
You'll love it.

I bet I will.

Thank you.

That's cute.

Hi. I hope I didn't keep
you waiting too long.

I made a grocery stop
on the way.

Not at all.

We tend not to live by
the clock around here.

You're Chelsea.

Yes. You must be Beverly?

Just Bev.
Bev Hankins.

Great.
So, this is it.

Three bedrooms, three baths,
living room, den.

Gorgeous views.

Grady was so proud of the place.

Did you know him?

Of course, I did.
And he knew everyone.

You know what a charmer he was?

Yeah, that was Uncle Grady.

Can I go inside?

Got the key right here.

The lawyer wanted me to
meet you, show you around,

answer any questions.

After you.

Welcome home.

What happened in here?

They didn't tell you?

Your uncle was in the middle
of having this place remodeled.

It's freezing!

Vail in the winter.
We can fix that in no time.

The heater must be acting up,
but there's the fireplace.

- Great.
- I know the contractor.

If you like, I can get
him up here

and back on the job in a jiffy.

That would be great.
Really, as soon as possible.

- Please. Thank you.
- I'm on it.

I caught him.
He'll swing by in 10 or so.

- That soon?
- This is a small town.

Everything's only
a few minutes away.

That's just great.
Thank you.

Chelsea, I have a showing
I need to get to.

But if you need anything while
you're here, you call.

And once you've decided
what you're gonna do,

keep it, sell it, rent it out...

I know where to find you.

Quite the change from
Los Angeles, I imagine.

Just a bit, yeah.

Thanks again.

That's great.

All right.
Let's make a fire.

One second!

I'm coming!

I'm coming!

Hi. You must be
the contractor...

You? Really?

Do this for me?

Looks like I came just in time.

Come in.

Sorry to keep you waiting.

The only room with clean water
is the guest bathroom.

Yeah, we were in the middle
of replacing those when...

I thought you could use a fire.

I thought the same thing.
It just didn't work out so well.

I noticed.

Let's take a look at your
heat situation.

We, turned this thing off
the day that we left,

it's a tricky model.

Should replace it.

You are the last person I
expected to see again today.

Or wanted to, I bet.

So Bev tells me
you're Grady's niece.

- Chelsea Whitmore.
- Owen Becker.

I see you found
a parking spot out front.

Yes, and there's no need
to call the tow truck,

if that's what you're planning.
I know the owner.

Really?
And who's that?

That would be me.

Okay, that should
take the chill off.

So when you're not tormenting
tourists during the day,

you're also a delivery man
and a contractor?

Among other things, yeah.

It's a long story,
but if you need work done,

I can definitely
do that for you.

And you do need work done.

Floors, walls, paint, pipes.

What a mess, huh?

Weren't you doing
the renovation?

Yep.

But that all stopped
when Grady passed.

We all really miss that guy.

But I don't need to tell
you how great he was.

Yeah, I know.
Uncle Grady was...

he was one of a kind.

Can I...
Can I show you something?

Just out here.

He had this telescope
with this inscription,

"Look to the Stars".

Yeah.
He was crazy about astronomy.

One of his favorite things
in the world was to sit out here

on a clear night and watch
the universe fly by.

Look, I think we got off
on the wrong foot.

You think?

And some of that may
have been my fault.

You know what,
let's just compromise.

Let's just say it was
all your fault.

I like my version better,

but we can go with that
if that keeps the peace.

Well, you know, since we're
gonna work together and all.

Okay. So you'd like me
to tackle this job?

Yes. I don't
really have a choice.

I can't do it myself and I can't
live here without fixing it.

So I really have
no other choice.

I also just quit my job,

so I'm not exactly sure
how much I can afford.

Don't worry about that.

Grady already paid for
all the materials.

We can work out the labor cost.
It won't be much.

Great.

- Deal?
- Deal.

When can you start?

First thing tomorrow.

I've got an extra guy.

So we should get you up
and running in no time.

Does that work?

Yeah, but let me
just check my...

Just check my phone.

Something wrong?

I don't have my phone.

I don't...
That's just so strange.

I have been on this mountain
for a day.

And I don't know if I have
an email or a text or...

I have no schedule.

I have no meeting to run to.

That's a good thing, right?

I don't know.

For the last five
and a half years,

I have planned
someone else's schedule

down to the millisecond.

I didn't even have a
spare second for myself.

So I guess I'm gonna
have to find out who I am

when there's nothing
on the calendar.

Well, Vail's a perfect
place for that.

And I'm gonna guess that you're
not gonna eat here tonight.

No. Do you have
any suggestions?

Yes. The best restaurant
in town,

perfect place to sign
a peace treaty.

All right.

I'm just gonna grab my phone.

- Okay.
- And change my sweater,

since it's covered in soot.

Okay, this must be
what the inside

of a cuckoo clock looks like.

I have never thought
of it that way.

But that is exactly right.

It's about as
authentic as it gets.

Do you eat here often?

I have to.
My father owns the place.

I help out here when I'm not
busy with remodeling jobs.

You came!
Good to see you again!

Hi!

Do you two know each other?

Do you two...

Dad, this is Chelsea Whitmore.

She's hiring me
to finish the remodel

up at Grady's chalet.

I'm his niece.

Well, any niece of
Grady's is a friend of ours.

Wait. Molly?

Molly, you got to meet...

- Hey, Molly.
- Hi again.

How have you been in town
for one day

and managed to meet
everybody in Vail?

No, no, just the important ones.

And that's Vail's finest
entertainment over there.

That's fine for now, Hans.
You can take your dinner break.

Molly, will you tell the
chef to prepare

our special schnitzel
for our special guest?

But you're the chef, Karl.

Well, then I guess
I'd better get busy.

Excuse me.
Pick a table.

There's plenty available,
unfortunately.

I'll get that wine
I promised you.

- Thank you.
- Let me get this for you.

- Well, thanks.
- Of course.

So where is everybody?

Tourist tastes run toward
the higher-end restaurants

fusion places, sushi,

tapas bars, celebrity chefs.

They don't know
what they're missing.

That's very kind.

Don't ask me what's good here

because I have to
say everything.

All right.
So what's good here?

Everything.

Wait a second.
There's no strudel?

Sorry. I always look
at the dessert menu first.

It's just a bad habit.

But I find that kind of odd,

a German restaurant
with no strudel.

That was Grady's specialty.

Sorry to say,
it's no longer on the menu.

Grady worked here?

Yeah. He and my father
were best friends.

They opened this place together.

- And he was the cook?
- The pastry chef.

Grady's strudel was legendary,

highlighted in all
the guide books.

There wasn't a tourist in town

who didn't try it and
come back for more.

You don't seem to know
much about the man.

To be honest, I...

we were really
close when I was little.

But, you know, as I grew up,

and he moved away to Vail

and I got busy
with my career and...

Yeah, I hadn't seen him in years

and that's on me, I hate to say.

The things I missed.

Frankly, I was
actually surprised

he left me the chalet.

I do remember him
not being particularly close

with his family.

But, hey, sometimes
it takes someone

who doesn't really know you
to really know you, you know.

I actually have no idea
what you're talking about.

Yeah, I was going for profound.

To be honest, I lost myself
in there a bit.

- Here we go.
- Thank you.

Welcome to Vail.

Welcome to Vail!

Don't wait for me.
Get started.

I won't.

So this can't be normal?

Is this the way everyone
travels around here?

I told Barry to take five.

Can't have you walking
all the way back

to your car in the cold.

What, this sleigh was
just handy?

What? This old thing?

Just good timing.

- Well, lucky us.
- Lucky us.

What, you see something?

Yeah, it's just the sky,
the stars.

You never see stars like that
in Los Angeles.

There's no stars in L.A.?

No. Only on the sidewalk.

With all those
bright city lights,

we're lucky if we can
see the moon.

Right.

So quiet here.

- Is it always like that?
- Yeah.

Maybe that's what
Uncle Grady liked about it.

If it weren't so cold,
so far away from everything.

Yeah, there's not a coffee
shop on every corner.

But some people think
there's plenty to appreciate.

I didn't mean that...

It's okay. I know.

My car's around the corner.
So I should...

It's parked legally.

Good.

Nicely done.

So tomorrow, first thing?

Yeah.
Whatever time is good for you.

First thing.

Okay. Thanks.

Wait. You're not planning
on staying up there tonight,

are you, with all
that needs fixing?

There's plenty of good hotels.

No. One night of roughing
it won't kill me.

I mean, it's like camping out,

not that I've ever
done that, but...

Hold on.
You've never camped before?

Okay, and goodnight.

Okay.
Goodnight.

No heat?

Oh, come on!

That's great.

All right, fix the heat,

patch the walls,
finish the floors.

Check the plumbing.
What else?

Paint.
Approve colors.

Vienna!
Hi!

What a wonderful sound!

- My voice?
- No, my phone ringing.

It hasn't rang all day.

I feel like I was going
through withdrawals.

You're in Colorado,
not Antarctica.

Oh, well,
you check my thermometer

and tell me the difference.

Do you actually know the
symptoms of frostbite or...

I really doubt you've been
there long enough.

So tell.
How's the chalet?

It's, it's different
than I expected.

My uncle was actually
doing a remodel.

Oh, no.

Kind of starting to wonder
if I made a big mistake.

I mean, the village is adorable,
it's absolutely adorable.

But I kind of miss the traffic
and crowds and noise.

Isn't that everything you
wanted to get away from?

You know, I thought it was,
but, Vienna, I'm serious.

I have never heard
so much quiet in my life.

There's a creek a half mile away

and I swear I can hear
it from here,

unless that's just
another part of the plumbing

that actually has just broken.

Honestly, if
it weren't for Owen...

- Owen?
- He's the contractor.

He's helping to put the house
back together...

And that is all.

If you say so.

Look, what I need is heat
and plumbing and...

And a good electrician.

Chelsea?

Owen! Oh, no!

I'm coming!

I'll be right there!

Chelsea, it's Owen!

I am so sorry.
I overslept.

I never sleep this late.
What time is it?

Six.

A.M.?

You said first thing.

Yeah.

In L.A., first thing means 10.

Rob? Chelsea.
Chelsea, this is Rob.

- Hey.
- Hi, Rob.

Heat off again.

Yeah, since last night.
I banged on the thermostat.

That didn't work?

That's strange.

Rob, you wanna check the heat?

Yeah.

Here you go, Rob.

So what's the plan?

The plan?

The plan is to fix
all of the things.

What?
In no particular order?

You have a preference?

No, no.
I mean, you're the expert.

But I did make a list last night

of everything that
needs attention.

You'll see that
on the first list,

it's in order of importance.

I see that.

Yeah, and on the second list,

it's room by room
in a flowchart.

I wasn't sure what you prefer.

So...

This is so helpful.
Thank you.

Rob, you see how helpful
this is?

Great, so where
do you want to start?

Well, he's already
going on the floor, so...

That's actually number seven.

I see that. Just...

Okay.

But he's already going, so...

I'll slide seven up to one
if that's all right.

Okay.

The heat's fixed.
That's one.

Check.

Now let's get
started on number two.

Plumbing.

- Great!
- Great.

Great.

Rob, list is there
if you want to take a peek.

It's alphabetized.
You know. Great job.

Brought you some hot chocolate
whenever you're ready for it.

Thank you.

Is there anything
I can do to help?

No, no.

Your lists were more
than I could ever hope for.

Come on.
There has to be something.

Yeah.

Why don't you
come over to the sink?

Turn the water on
when I tell you.

- Wait. Do what?
- Turn the water on.

No! Off! Off! Off!

What, what, what?

Oh, no.

When I tell you.

Too soon?

I don't know, maybe a little.

Sorry.
Really sorry.

That's okay.

- I'm just gonna go outside.
- Okay.

Yeah.

You know, you don't
have to hide out here.

I'm not hiding.

Feel like I'm
in the way in there.

Out here, I can get work done.

Lists, schedules.

Lists of possible schedules?

Research actually.

Yesterday was nice, but
I didn't get anything done.

I've set the mornings aside
to look for new opportunities.

What'd you do back in L.A.?

Event planning.

Really?

Splashy parties, you know,
corporate clients.

But I have to stay organized.

Otherwise, I don't get
anything done.

So research until noon,
30 minutes for lunch.

And then job applications
until three.

Do you set any time
aside to relax,

stop and smell the pine trees?

This afternoon, yeah.
4 to 5.

Although it's,
I mean, it's flexible.

Good.

For a second there,
I thought you were being rigid.

You know, there's
a lot to do in Vail.

An hour might not cut it.

Like what?

Skiing if that's your thing.

I'm not really a skier, no.

Okay.

Skating?

Day spas?

Adventure Ridge?

Adventure Ridge?
What's that?

It's a gondola that goes
to the top of the mountain.

There's tubing back down.

That sounds like fun.

- Yeah.
- Can anybody do that or...

Of course.

There's no experience necessary.

Rob and I are gonna
head up there later.

You're more than
welcome to join.

I mean, I don't know
if I have the right...

the right clothes.

Just layer what you got.

There's plenty of places in town
if you want to do some shopping

while we keep at it up here.

All right, yeah.

I might find time
for that today.

Or you can go now.

It's a beautiful day.
Stores are open.

Are you trying to kick me out?

No, never.

Trying to kick you into town.

Go enjoy!

And I'll see you at
the gondola at 5:00.

- Hey!
- Hey!

Looks like somebody
found a ski shop. Very nice.

Thank you.
At least I'll be warm.

Okay, this place
is unbelievable!

Yeah. Good place to unwind.

So where's Rob?

He went on ahead.
Weren't sure you were coming.

So it's just you and me?

Am I not good enough?
Want to back out?

Nah, not a chance.
Is this the only way up?

You good with heights?

I work in a skyscraper,
or I did.

It's just
skyscrapers don't sway.

Come on. You'll like it
once we get up there.

Okay.

It's gonna be a fun ride
to the top.

- You okay?
- Okay. Better than I thought.

- Okay, good.
- It's kind of fun actually.

Yeah. People come up
here year-round.

Wait until you see in the
spring with the wildflowers.

If I'm still here.

Yeah, right.
If you're still here.

I mean, this is only temporary.

My life is back in California
or New York probably.

Well, life is wherever
you are, isn't it?

Yeah, my business life.

Well, I'm no event planner,

but couldn't you
do that anywhere?

You have to go where
the prospective clients are,

film studios, record companies,
celebrities.

What about you?

Are you always a contractor
and a parking inspector?

No.

No, I went to school
for architecture.

You know Grady's deck?
I designed that thing.

- Really?
- Yeah.

It's beautiful.

- Why don't you do more of that?
- Well, you know what they say.

Life is what happens when
you're busy making other plans.

Around the time I graduated,
Vail changed a lot,

trendy cafes, celebrity chefs.

My dad couldn't keep up.

It got to the point where
he was barely holding on.

I thought he should sell.
I still do.

But it can't be my decision,
you know?

- So as long as he needs me...
- You're here to help.

Yeah.

At first, the idea was to do
some general contracting

to make some quick money
to supplement

what the restaurant brings in,
help out where I could

until things turned around and
I'd go back out on my own.

It just hasn't
worked out that way?

No, it hasn't.

But if business doesn't pick up,

my dad is forced to sell,
it'll break his heart.

I'm so sorry.

That's okay. It's just life.

Anyways, we're almost
at the top here.

We're gonna do
some serious tubing.

You ready?

No, not ready.

You better get ready.
It's about to get intense.

What do you think?

This is the most beautiful
place I've ever seen!

But wait.
Is that what we're here for?

No backing out now.

Oh, my.

I was afraid I gave up on you.

Glad you made it.

- Hey. Hey, Molly.
- Hi.

So, what are the instructions?
What do I do?

Nothing to it.
Just settle in and hold on.

- I'll be right next to you.
- You'll be fine.

All right, come on.
Let's go.

- Are you sure about this?
- I'm sure about this.

- Well, I don't know about this.
- Watch your step.

Woo!

Wait!
How... how do we steer?

You don't. Just put your
trust in the mountain.

- What...?
- Just come on.

- Let's sit down.
- I mean...

You got it?

- Trust it?
- Just sit.

I barely know it.
That doesn't make sense!

Here we go! Yeah!

Oh, my gosh!

You having fun?

Oh, I am!
I really am!

I hate to say,
it's been a while.

What's a while?

Just a long while for
too many things, you know.

Yeah.

Like this.

Don't start something
you can't finish.

I'm gonna finish it.

I'm gonna finish it.

I got a shield!

You're in the open!

Patricia?

Hi. It's Chelsea Whitmore.

Yes, your company's
Christmas Party, exactly.

I remember you had
mentioned to me

that your wedding anniversary
was coming up.

And I was just wondering
if you had hired anyone

to organize that for you yet.

- Hey, we're here!
- Because...

- Sorry.
- It's okay.

Pastries if you're want.

No. I'm no longer
with Elegant Events.

It would just be me.

Colorado, but I can...

Yeah, no, of course.
I understand.

Happy anniversary.

Good morning, guys.

Sorry to interrupt.

How's the networking going?

Nothing yet.
A little harder than I thought.

Well, I got some
good news for you.

We should be wrapped
up here today.

And all you gotta do is
arrange your furniture

and hang some pictures.

That's great.
That's awesome.

This is...
are these from Edelweiss?

Yeah, those are your
uncle's recipes.

It's amazing.

You should have
tasted his strudel.

Where's the recipe for that?

Gone.
Grady had it memorized.

I'm sure there
are other strudels.

Yeah, most places have them,
but Grady's was special.

Once you have one of them,

every other strudel is just
strudel, you know.

It sounds like you guys
need to find another dish,

something else that
people line up for.

That's a tough one.

Easier to just sell
and move on, you know.

It's looking good.

Thanks.
You okay with the color?

It's what Grady picked out.

I love it.

Guess we had more
in common than I knew.

He was very proud.

He talked about you
all the time:

all your awards, your recitals,
all your accomplishments.

I saw him every summer when I
was a kid before he moved here.

I always felt like
we had a special bond.

It's nice to know he felt the
same.

Hey, is this Grady's star map?

He's got all
the constellations renamed.

He used to love doing that.

We got Kitty, Trudy...

Trudy.

Trudy, that's my mom.
Isn't that sweet?

Yeah, they live
in Cincinnati now,

but they made it up here
a few times.

I'm gonna have to tell her
to check the stars.

That's a cute picture.

You bake?

I don't remember baking.

I found something else in here.

I wanted you to have this.

What's this?

This is Grady's
apple strudel recipe.

What?

This is his recipe!

So now you can put it
back on the menu.

And it'll help get
The Edelweiss back into black!

Well, it would take more
than one dessert, I'm afraid.

But, gosh, it's wonderful
to have this. Thank you.

You know, have you seen
Arabelle Square yet?

It's hard to find anything
prettier this time of year.

Why don't you let
Owen show you around?

I think Molly and
I can handle the lunch rush.

Yeah, we should be good.

- Want something to eat?
- Yes, please.

Sounds nice, if...

you don't mind being
my tour guide?

Are you asking me to skip work?

- Yes.
- Okay.

Let's go.

That was so much fun.

Is there any part of this
town that isn't beautiful?

No.
No, not much.

You know, I don't know
how you do it.

Do what?

Just between the restaurant,
your father and wanting to help,

and also move forward.

I don't know if I could
be that noble.

I am not that noble.

I once pretended
to forget my wallet

just so Rob would have
to pick up the check for once.

Still haunts me to this day.

Right.
I take back what I said.

Sometimes in this life,

you meet good quality people.

And you're lucky enough
to be able to stand by them

when they need you.

My dad's one of those people.

Your uncle was one, too.

Jury's still out on you, though.

You know, I've been thinking

about my uncle's strudel recipe
and I want to try it.

I want to see what all
the fuss is about.

Yeah, sure.

And how are
we supposed to do that?

We can do it.
We can make it.

- We? We?
- Yeah.

- You and me we?
- Yes!

He's my uncle.
Pastry's in my genes... maybe.

We have the recipe.

What time's the kitchen
free tonight?

Flour, salt, butter,
raisins, oil, cider, lemons,

cinnamon, sugar, apples,

a rolling pin and baking sheets.

You sure this is a good idea?

I can cook a steak,
but that's about it.

A recipe is just a plan, and me?

I'm all about plans.

You, you like to build things.

So here's the plan.

Now let's start building.

Like a little poet.

- This?
- Two cups of flour, please.

Yes, ma'am.

Half of the oil...

Cider.

Perfect.

All right.
So we pick it up.

Gentle...

Okay. Gently stretch.

So, what do you think?

About what?

Is it thin enough?

Yeah, right.
Let's get the menu.

Lift it up.

Lift it up
very, very, very gently.

Edelweiss Restaurant.

You can read it.
It's perfect.

- I think it's perfect.
- We did it.

Grady would be proud.

Yes, he would.

- Okay.
- All right.

What's next?

Now we fill it, roll it
and we bake it.

And then?

- Strudel!
- Strudel!

Okay.

Okay.

It's got a good crust to it,
just saying.

It's quite beautiful.

Off to a good start here.

- Thank you.
- Moment of truth.

Right. Here we go.

- Cheers.
- Cheers.

What do you think?

What do you think?

I think for our first try,

this is incredible.

- Yes!
- Yeah?

I mean, it's no wonder
it was so famous.

If it's this good
and we made it,

can you imagine
what your dad could do?

True.

Remember when you said how
you needed something

to make The Edelweiss
a destination again,

get it back in the guide books?

So what if you did a huge
promotion around this?

It's the triumphant return of
Grady's famous strudel?

People love this sort of thing.

Bring it back.
Make a big deal out of it.

Make an event, a festival or,

you know, I don't know,
something that is big,

that'll draw attention.

What? Like a Strudelfest?

- A what?
- Strudelfest.

- Is that a thing?
- No.

No, I just stuck
the words together.

Sure. Festival, right.
Strudelfest.

Strudelfest.

I just can't get over how bright

the stars are out here,
just all those constellations.

Where do you think Trudy is?

Trudy.
I'd have to check Grady's map.

But I do remember
one thing he taught me.

Where is it?
Oh there it is.

- You see the bluish-white one?
- Yeah.

You don't see it.

- Yeah, I do. I'm looking at it.
- This one right here.

- You see?
- Yeah.

That's Vega, the goddess
in love with the farm boy.

The star Altair which
is right over there.

- Wait. The bright one?
- Yeah, the star at least.

The boy, I'm not sure.
He might be dim.

So what happens?

They just stay up
there light years apart,

they never get together?

Nope, not yet,

but legend says maybe someday.

So there's hope.

Yeah, there's always hope.

Is there a Strudelfest?

Wait a minute.

It is!
It's a thing!

Owen, you're not gonna
believe this.

It's a big annual
celebration, Pop.

Netherlands, Germany,
Switzerland, why not Vail?

We could do something
like that here,

reintroduce The Edelweiss,
make a big thing out of it.

Yeah. Music and
arts and crafts,

and just all things
celebrating strudel.

That sounds ridiculous
even to me. Bev?

I think it sounds like fun!

Will there be dancing?

Did you know I love to dance?

Dancing, yes.

We also want to do a contest.

Best strudel in Vail
open to everybody.

Pop, if you're serious about
getting The Edelweiss

back in the new
official guide books,

they come out next month.

Well, you know, something
like this could bring tourists

back to all
the village businesses.

It's worth a try,
don't you think?

It would be an event
everyone's talking about.

Can you please
let me do this for you?

What? No, no, no, we couldn't
ask you to do all that.

Of course, you can.
This is what I do.

Really, it's what I do.

And you would honestly be
helping me

build my portfolio as well.

What do you got to lose, Pop?
Come on.

You're right.

- Is that a yes?
- That's a yes.

Great! Good!
This is gonna be spectacular!

So a whole weekend
of celebration

all leading up to the contest.

There'll be decorations
everywhere.

We'll make a big deal out
of the strudel entries

by giving samples
to the customers.

And I was also thinking
that we should have

a special menu for that night,
like a fairy tale theme?

- I could do that.
- Okay, great.

So I just need a list of all the
shop owners in the village.

Because we want
everyone onboard.

Easy enough.
What do we tell them?

It's all right there.

Oh, my goodness.
When did you do this?

Earlier this morning.

All right, so we just need
to settle on a date.

We should look at the calendar.

And the band.
There has to be dancing.

I know Vail's
finest entertainment.

Lots of room for Vail's finest.

During the day, we'll have polka
exhibitions in the street.

And at night,
there's the back room,

space for dancing if we want.

But we haven't
used it in a while.

Come take a look.
Tell me what you think.

Okay, this is it.

Started storing stuff
back here a while ago.

When? 1930?

Nice.
It's been a little busy.

Space is good, though, right?

Yeah.
Yeah, it will be.

I can picture some chandeliers

and maybe some twinkly lights
in the corner

and some cozy seating.

We could set
a judge's table right here.

Right.

Speaking of, we need judges,
who do you know?

Who's an expert?

Local chefs.
I think we can get a few.

Okay, that's good.

Is this what you're
like in Los Angeles?

All take-charge like this?

I like to make things happen.

Yes, ma'am.

All right. First we gotta get
some judges signed up.

We need at least three.

If you want chefs,
I know one we can start with.

Bonus points, her restaurant
is fun to get to.

Come on!

- Left, right.
- Oh, my gosh.

Left, right.
It's like being in the Army.

Look around!
We're on a lake!

But I mean, don't you do
anything the normal way?

Sounds like a terrible way!

I thought you'd get
a kick out of this.

Where is this restaurant?

All right.
See those trees up there?

Just past them.

Okay. I'll race you!

I love it!
I love it!

She's in the lead!

Go, go, go, go!

You tired yet?

This is a workout!

Well, now I can officially say

- I skied on a lake.
- There you go.

You've done it.

Yes, there you go.

Just dramatic walking.

Okay.

Not gonna let you win, though.

When I said race,
it was just a friendly race.

All right, we're here.

All right, nice.

So this place is
on an actual road.

Like we could have driven here?

Yeah, that's a fact.

There's no fun in that.

How's the fondue?

It's amazing.

I'm making a mess...

You're throwing it everywhere.

But I haven't done this in ages.

Yeah, it's an alpine treat,

especially the way
Chef Frankie makes it.

Hey, Owen.
I hear you wanna talk to me?

Yeah.
Chef Frankie, this is Chelsea.

Chelsea, Chef Frankie.

- How's your lunch?
- It's delicious.

I mean, every bite is so good.

Well, when you finish there,

we have a chocolate fondue
you're going to love.

- Wait. No apple strudel?
- Sorry.

Plenty of places offer it,

but nobody makes strudel the
way Grady used to, so why try?

Amen. Chelsea here happens
to be his niece.

And if you have a moment,
we have a proposition for you.

Okay.

So it's a new thing
for the village.

Everyone's getting involved,
the whole town.

- Strudelfest.
- You're kidding.

- Nope.
- Nope.

You're not?
Tell me more.

Okay, quiet, please, if I
could get everyone's attention.

Thank you all for coming.

Pop, you wanna take
it from here?

My friends, each and every one
of you for so many years now,

you know the changes
in Vail these past few years,

they've been wonderful.

They've been wonderful,
to be sure,

but it does mean that we need
to work that much harder

to bring the tourists to our
charming older section of town.

Which is why we want
to introduce you all

to a new friend
who brought us an idea

that could benefit all of us.

Everybody,
this is Chelsea Whitmore.

Hi.

Thank you.

I thank you all
so much for coming.

As you've heard, we are
gonna be calling

this concept "Strudelfest",

a celebration of music,
art and food

everywhere in the village
with the main attraction

being strudel in all
its variations.

What if each restaurant
features its own version?

Plum strudel maybe?

Strudel ice cream?

I'm serious.

I bet I could come up with
that flavor in my shop,

apples, raisins, cinnamon?

Or there might be
a strudel cocktail?

These are all great ideas,
great ideas.

But it won't just be
all about cuisine.

It'll be a
street fair highlighting

local arts and crafts.

You know, fun for
the whole family.

Some music, local bands
and singers.

Where's the money coming from?

Yeah.
It takes money to make money.

Isn't that what they say?

Most of it is donated time,
creative thinking.

As for the rest?

Each business will cover
its own costs

and share the price of banners
and advertising and so on.

Think of it as promotion,

you know, investment
in future sales.

And when would it be?

As soon as possible.

I think we'd all agree that
there's no time to waste, right?

And with your help, we can
pull this together in two weeks.

Now the main event will be
a contest held here

at The Edelweiss,
open to everyone,

judged by local experts,

for the best strudel in Vail.

It's a clever idea.

It's peak season, so the
tourists are already here.

I've made a flyer and
there is a signup sheet

over there on the other table

for those who want
to participate.

And I'll be here if
you have any questions.

And maybe... just maybe

this will be the first
annual Strudelfest.

- You good, pop?
- Yeah.

She's something else, isn't she?

You were great tonight,

the way you took
control of that crowd.

It's easy to sell something

you're passionate about.

You're passionate
about strudel, are you?

I am.

I don't know how that happened.

Okay.
Flip that switch.

- Now?
- Yes.

- You sure?
- Yes.

Because I remember the sink
at the chalet.

I do, too.

This time, it's fine.
Hit that switch.

Look at that!
It's perfect!

Yeah. So you really think we
can get it all done this fast?

Yeah, of course.

I once planned a retirement
party at Dodger Stadium.

I mean, fireworks,
marching band, food,

the whole thing in two days.

When you put your mind
to something,

you don't mess around, do you?

Yeah, you have to go after
what you want in life.

Can I ask you a question?

Yes, you can.

Is this enough?

What's that?

Fixing freezers and
rewiring chandeliers?

You're an architect.

I hear you.

I'm doing what I like.

Yeah, but what about
doing what you love?

Family comes first.

Besides, it's been so long
since I've done any of that.

I might not even have
what it takes.

So for now, I do what I have to.

But we have more important
things to worry about.

We need to focus, so we have
got Chef Frankie

at the Cabin Restaurant
for a judge.

Yes, and we have a
pastry chef from the hotel

who signed up tonight.

That's two.

Any thoughts on a third?

One, and if we get her,
it'd be a really big deal.

Right.
Let's do that.

Everyone's talking
about your festival.

Maybe you'd like
to include this.

We could set up a booth.

It's our version of hot
chocolate here at The Sebastian.

Chef Laura has
won pretty much every award

there is to win
for her desserts.

But it's just
hot chocolate, right?

Easy.

It sounds simple, but wait.

We start with shells.

We fill them with
Irish Crème marshmallows

and chocolate crunch pearls.

Look at her.

- Like Rembrandt.
- Very precise.

After that, we dust
them with gold.

Wait, real gold?

- You're kidding.
- She never kids.

And will you bring over
that pot of hot chocolate?

Yes, Chef.

It's spiced with
vanilla, cloves,

anise, cinnamon, and cardamom.

Chocolate globes in here.

And then the hot cocoa
gets poured over that?

Exactly.

Here we go.

It melts through
the chocolate shells and...

It's like magic.
It's like magic.

Something else.

- Have a sip.
- Cheers.

To baby marshmallows.

To little tiny
baby marshmallows.

Taste that?

I have never tasted
anything like that ever.

That is... that is
winter in a cup!

I may have to use
that on the menu.

So what was it you were coming
here to see me about?

What a day!

Look at those pastries!

Yeah, I've been sitting here
waiting you so we can dig in.

The best part is
we got our third judge,

- so we're all set, right?
- Yeah.

I just need to arrange bunting
for the shop owners

to really pull
the theme together.

Do you ever stop?

It's okay to take
a break, you know.

Yeah, this is the only way
to get things done.

I don't know if I believe that.

I think you can get things done
and still have a life.

You might even enjoy
what comes your way,

like this absurd chocolate,
for instance,

these ridiculous pastries.

Time with good people.

I should probably get that.

Yep, you could.

You know what?
I can check it later.

Cheers to that.

400 more pastries, please.

We got her now.

She's taking a break.

Vienna!
What are you doing here?

Thought you'd never get here.

Why didn't you tell me
you were coming?

I wanted to surprise you.

But when you weren't
home, I texted.

Sorry.
That was you.

I didn't even...
I didn't even look at it.

Chelsea Whitmore
didn't check a text?

Do I even know you now?

Come here.
It's so good to see you!

Can we go inside?
I'm freezing.

I know. Yeah.

Is this your uncle?

Yeah.

Look how sweet you two were.

And this place, you made it
sound like a disaster zone.

Well, you should have
seen it when I got here.

Owen has been so helpful
in pulling it all together.

Owen, huh?

Sit down and tell me
why you're here.

What's going on?
Tell me everything.

Everything could take a while.

Well, start
with why you're here.

Maybe I'm missing
my best friend?

Vienna, come on.

You just got a promotion.

You have all this
new responsibility.

You're taking time off already
because you miss me?

What is up?

"Let me know ASAP.
Trish."

Let her know what?

Okay. She sent me.

She thought you'd listen to me
before you'd listen to her.

But in my defense,
I wanted to come anyway.

The new guy, Danny,
he's not exactly a team player.

Insists on doing
everything his way.

- And we know Trish hates that.
- Exactly.

So when he almost lost us
the symphony account...

He didn't.
Are you serious?

Trish stepped in
and smoothed things over.

But now she's in a bind and
she wants you to call her.

Don't tell me she wants me back!

Like tonight.

Chelsea, she'll give you
anything if you'll consider it.

Vienna, are you kidding?
I mean, I've already told you.

I made a commitment.

Strudelfest?

Yes, and I... honestly,
I couldn't even think

about Trish until
after this weekend.

Then can I at least
tell her that, please?

I need to tell her something.

And, hey, while I'm here,
let me help you with this.

Whatever you need,
like old times.

Like old times.

Like a few weeks go?

Okay, like recent times.

It'll be fun.
What do you say?

Cheers to old times.

It's like we landed smack
in the middle of Europe.

I love it.

I know, and the people
are so great. Just wait.

- Hey!
- Hey, Chelsea!

What do you think?

You figured out
the strudel ice cream.

Wait'll you taste it.

The tourists are
going wild for it.

You better save me a scoop.

- Strudel ice cream?
- Yeah.

Everybody's just getting
into the spirit.

The coffee shop is doing
a flavored creamer.

The art gallery down the street
is doing a special exhibition

"Vail in Winter",
it's paintings by local artists.

It's gonna be awesome.

I have to admit when you
first told me about this,

I thought it was maybe
the biggest, craziest idea

you've ever had.

- And now?
- I think I was right.

Hey, Molly!

This is Vienna,
my friend from L.A.

- Hi.
- Nice to meet you.

You approve?

It looks perfect.

Is Owen inside?
How's it looking?

Wait until you see.

Great.

Good.

Good morning, everybody!

Okay, we got more
decorations for tonight.

Just what we need!
Who's your friend?

Owen? Everyone?
This is Vienna.

She came in from L.A.
to help us out.

Welcome, and thank you.

Karl, where would you
like me to put

the Belgian chocolate fountain?

Ask Chelsea.

Maybe we should make that
the centerpiece on the buffet.

- Want to help with that?
- You got it.

So that's Owen?

Everybody's confirmed
and they're all gonna be here

in three hours.

Is that really enough time?

You know what? That's
the magic of these things.

It seems, like, impossible,
then somehow at the last minute,

it just works out.

Where do you want the sound
set up for the judging?

You know what?
I'll show you.

Owen, is the back room ready?

Yeah! Yeah, it is.

This... This looks amazing!

The guy did a great job.

Yes, he certainly did.

Okay, sound system.

Maybe we should put
the sound system here.

I'll grab the equipment
and get you set up.

Never had a chance
to properly thank you

for everything you're doing.

You don't have
to thank me, Karl.

This is the most fun
I've had in years.

If it helps the restaurant,
then...

No. Not the restaurant.

Not the town.

For my son.

- For Owen?
- Yeah.

He's given up so many
dreams just to help me,

not that I asked him, mind you.

I know.
He...

He needs to make sure that you
and The Edelweiss are okay.

Family first.

Well, whether this works or not,
it's his turn to come first.

After tonight,
we'll either make it

or I'll sell knowing
that we tried.

But either way, I'm grateful.

It's my pleasure.

Back to work.

Great job on the menu, Molly.

Enchanted Black Forest Cake,
Red Velvet Writing?

Like that is genius!

This is just what we need to
cap off Strudelfest weekend.

- Thank you.
- Okay. I think we are all set.

We are just missing one thing.

Decorations, tables,
guest list, judges.

What could we
possibly be missing?

Welcome to everything
we need for our own entry,

Grady's strudel.

Do we have time?

Haven't you learned anything
since you've been here?

In Vail, we keep our own time.

But it wouldn't even be fair.

I mean, it's your
father's restaurant.

In the game of strudel,
all is fair.

- It's an old mountain saying.
- Yeah, I'm sure.

What kind of celebration
would it be

if Grady wasn't represented?

Let's do it for him.

Let's do it.

Yeah, for Uncle Grady.

For Uncle Grady. Let's go!

This looks absolutely perfect!

I can't thank you all
enough for your hard work!

Tonight, with gratitude
to all of you,

but especially Chelsea,

we've managed to put a spotlight
back on this village.

We put a spotlight back
on The Edelweiss!

- Pop?
- What...

Let's open the doors.

Yeah.
We'll do it together?

Sure.

Willkommen!

Welcome to Strudelfest!

Where should I put my strudel?

Somewhere Karl will notice?

Is that your entry?

My mother's recipe.

She always said it was
the way to a man's heart.

Any man in particular?

Looks delicious.
Follow me.

Make note of the numbers.

People will vote
for their favorites,

and their votes will be
added to those of the judges

to determine tonight's winner.

- Chelsea?
- Laura, hi!

Okay, I have been dreaming
of your hot chocolate.

Thanks, Chelsea.

Meet my friend, Helen.
She owns the local bookstore.

I've been telling her about you.

How lovely.
Nice to meet you.

Thanks for coming.

We're moving our shop to a
larger location in the spring.

And I would love it
if you could do something

like this for my business.

If that's something you do?

Do I? Up here.

I...
Yes, yes, I do.

And I would love that.

- I'll expect your call.
- Great.

Laura? Helen? May I escort
you to the dining room?

Enjoy!

- Did you meet Helen?
- Yeah.

You should see her bookstore.
It's the best.

She actually... wants
to hire me to plan an event.

- How about that?
- How about that?

All right,
enough running around.

It's time for you
to enjoy your party.

- Come on, let's go.
- All right.

Ladies and gentlemen,
ladies and gentlemen!

So it's kind of that
time of the evening.

The judges have had a chance
to sample all the entries

and they've added
their votes to yours.

At any moment now,
we're gonna have a verdict.

- We're gonna win.
- Not a chance.

Did you see the competition?

What do you wanna bet?

One single dance.

- You're on.
- Okay.

Okay. Can we have a round
of applause

- for all our pastry chefs?
- Woo!

All of these were delicious,

so you've made our job
very difficult.

But we're in agreement with
all of you that the winner

of the first annual
Strudelfest is...

Beverly Hankins!

That's just Bev
of Elevation Realty

in case anyone's looking
to buy a new house.

This is so great.

It'll be all over
social media by tonight.

And then Edelweiss
will be on the cover

of the next guide book.

I hope so. It's exactly what
the restaurant needed.

Would you look how happy Bev is?

My dad, too.

But we did lose.

You got to admit, I was right.

It was our second try.

There's plenty of
room for improvement.

In the meantime,
you owe me a dance.

But we didn't win.

Look around.
The restaurant's full.

People are having a good time.

Vail Village is alive again.

If that's not a win,
I don't know what is.

Thank you.

Get ready for the worst
dance of your life.

You should see me
ballerina moves.

Hello?

Trish?

I don't remember the last time
I enjoyed myself this much.

My dad, too.
Look at him.

They're the perfect couple.

I was thinking the same thing.

Listen...

I know you're still figuring out

where life is taking you

and I don't want to make that
more complicated than it is.

Look at the difference
you've made here.

I don't just mean the village.

It's funny how I had to
run away to find myself.

Yet here in Vail,
it just feels like home.

You feel like home.

I really, really
hate to interrupt, but...

Vienna?

Please, for me?

It's okay.

- I'm...
- Sorry.

- I'm so sorry.
- It's all right.

So sorry.

It is work? Yeah?
Okay.

Trish, this really
isn't a good time.

I apologize, Chelsea, but you
are taking to a desperate woman!

Vienna told me
what's been going on.

Then you know!
Elegant Events needs you back!

I need you back,
whatever it takes!

- Trish...
- I'm begging you, Chelsea.

How did I let you leave
in the first place?

I know what you're getting at,

but I'm in Vail now
and I like it.

It's a lovely place to visit.

We can work another vacation
into your new deal.

I can make you vice president
of something, whatever you want!

Are you serious?

Come back and
we will work it out!

A corner office,
you name your salary.

What do you say?

Trish, I'll call you back.

Okay, so you're leaving,
but you're coming back?

I'm sorry.
It's just this offer.

I mean, it's everything I've
worked for all these years.

It's everything
I've ever wanted.

Everything?

Yeah, and this is my job
and that's where I can do it.

I've...
I've loved my time here.

I really have and
you're a huge part of that.

I mean, it's been like
this incredible dream but...

Dreams aren't real, right?

And...

I don't know what happens
when we wake up from this,

but this job...

It's real, yeah.
The job's real.

I get that.

This was always supposed
to be temporary.

If it's what you feel you
want, then I'm happy for you.

I mean that.

This is one of the hardest
decisions I've ever made.

Then maybe
it's not the right one.

But Owen, I know if I don't try,

if I don't at least try,

then I'll always wonder.

That's true.

Okay, that's that.

You should know you've changed
a lot of lives out here,

including mine.

Especially mine.

Okay, safe trip.

Let us know if you
need anything.

Owen...

It's okay.

Come and visit us.

Congratulations.

Second thoughts?

No. It's the right thing.

I was just trying
to commit it all to memory.

It's beautiful.

Owen did such a good job.

Yeah, he really did.

I just wish Uncle Grady
was still around to see it,

you know, now that it
looks like paradise

and now that I'm leaving.

Some lucky buyer will
surely snap this up.

I hope so.

No, of course,
we can handle that!

I will take a red eye and
be on the east coast

Wednesday morning and
supervise that myself.

No, it's not too much trouble.

It's what we do.
I'll see you then.

This is Chelsea.

Mr. Delacorte!
I'm so glad it's you.

Listen, regarding...
I'm so sorry.

If you could hold
for just one second?

Hey, Trish, what's up?

I'm just heading out to dinner,

but here are a few of
the balls Danny dropped.

I know it's late, but some of
them need immediate follow-up.

Did you talk to the museum

about opening night
for the new exhibition?

Yes. I suggested a
dozen local artists

doing Picasso variations.

That's inspired!

Did they love it?
Of course, they loved it!

We're so glad
to have you back, Chelsea.

It's as if nothing's
changed, right?

Yes, nothing at all.

Goodnight.

You still here?

Something wrong?

It's my hot chocolate.

There's no gold flakes.

I have no idea what that means,

but you're not in
Colorado anymore.

How's it feel?

Big new office, beautiful
view of the city.

Honestly, I've been
too busy to even notice.

Oh, no! Oh, no! Oh, no.

Mr. Delacorte?
Hello?

You miss it, don't you?

What I miss is...

the person I was in Vail,

the slower pace, the people,

Molly, Karl and
Vail's finest entertainment.

I miss brisket at The Edelweiss.

I miss the snow and I...

I miss the stars.

We have stars.

Yes, a few, but...

Kind of hard to see
with the bright lights.

I miss real hot chocolate.

And Owen?

I was wrong, Chelsea.

You were the happiest
I've ever seen you up there.

If that's what you really want,
you should go back.

Get your life.

It's still there
waiting for you.

All right, I have
so much work to do.

Okay.

Grady's world-famous
apple strudel.

We may not have won
this year's Strudelfest,

but next year, watch out.

Busy?

Nah, just playing
with some ideas.

I asked Chef Laura
to introduce me

to the owners of The Sebastian.

I pitched them a concept
for a brand new hotel wing.

Aha!
My son, the architect finally!

Such good news, and I have more.

A guide to Vail, advance copy

hot off the presses
and we're in it again!

Look at all those stars!

It even mentioned Strudelfest.

That's great!

You know, even without this,

we've got a wedding
planned for next month.

And I just got off the phone
with someone who wants

to organize their
class reunion here.

That's fantastic.

It's too bad we don't have
an event planner, huh?

About that...

Owen, you're my son
and I love you.

But, sorry to say,
you're not thinking clearly.

Okay.

Well, you're not.

Geez, when it comes
to love, Owen,

that's what life is all about.
You let it get away.

- Dad...
- I've lived. I know things.

Look, you helped me through
the hardest years of my life

and I'm grateful for that.

Time for you to make your
own life.

If you love her...

She's gone, Dad.

It's too late.

This is good, though.

It's something Bev made.

Spending a lot of time
with me in the kitchen.

I think we may have a
new pastry chef, full-time.

Right, easy.
Okay, okay.

Think about what I said?

Speaking of Bev,

she called this morning
to remind you

to pick up your tools
from the chalet.

It's been over a week.

I'll get 'em tonight, Pop.

Hello?

Hello?

Anyone home?

Chelsea?

Too many clouds tonight.
I can't see the stars.

They're still there, though,
right?

Yeah.

Yeah, they're still there.

Vega and Altair?

The goddess and the...
and the farm boy?

Yeah, them too.

You know what I was thinking?

How do we know
they're not together?

It takes starlight
millions of years

to get from here to there.

Maybe they connected
centuries ago.

Maybe they were just
destined to be together...

like some people.

Anyone we know?

Wait...

You said that you had
everything that you wanted.

L.A., the job...

I was wrong.

I have gotten so many
phone calls and emails

from people up here
since Strudelfest.

And I want to be on Vail time.

I want to...

I want to pick
and choose my jobs

in between sleigh rides,
of course.

The office with a view.
We don't have that.

Owen, you're not there.

What's the point of a view
if you can't see the stars?

That's a good answer.
