[sighs]

[car honking]

- hey there, bob.
- Hey, mornin', jo.

How you doin'? Are you okay?
I saw a little trip there.

Yeah, the sidewalk
just keeps getting worse.

Yeah, well, you know
that old tree is just gonna

keep making things
worse and worse.

When are you gonna chop it down?

I know! I know!
It's on my to-do list.

- It's just at the bottom of it.
- Understood, understood.

Hey, uh, you got
one of those newspapers for me?

Yeah, here you go.

Ahh, make sure you
check out page two.

That little sister of yours,
she sure can write.

[chuckles] yeah, well, we know
where the talent landed

in the mason family.

I don't know about all that.

It's not easy running
the cultural events center

of daisy hills the way you do.

-Well, have a nice day.

You make it a great day.

- See you tonight.
- Take care.

[instrumental music]

[jo sighs]

[instrumental music]

- [door opens]
- [carol] anybody home?

- Hey! Over here, carol.
- Oh!

- Guess what?
- It came in?

Oh, it wasn't easy, I was able

to round some up
from a wholesaler.

- What did it come out to?
- Almost double the last.

It's getting harder to find.

Well, I-I really need it.
But double?

Well, they keep raising
the prices on us.

You know what,
just take it for now

and we can work it out
once you sell your plants.

- Oh, are you sure?
- Dad and I will figure it out.

- Oh. Oh, thank you, jo.
- Yeah.

Oh, that means so much.

You know,
it's like my mom always said,

"you can always find
what you need

at the daisy hills store."

- all right, you got this.
- Okay, kid. One more.

- Hey, sof.
- Yeah, come on.

- Yeah, hi, sofi.
- Hi, carol.

Uh, yeah, oh, I got it.
No, you go ahead.

- I have it.
- [sofi] okay. Good. Okay.

- Thanks, have a good day.
- [carol] okay.

[sofi] sunglasses.

[clears throat] ooh, oh.

- What is this?
- What? They published it? Wait.

"nothing monumental
can be accomplished alone.

It's with the full support
of the community

that the next generation
will flourish,

and with the love of our
families, both blood and chosen,

that we can truly succeed."

my baby sister,
a published author!

I am so proud of you.

You know what, the valedictorian
writes an article every year.

- And it's just the local paper.
- Hey, it is a start, sof.

And you're so talented.

Oh! There they are.

You know what,
by the way, you're my sister,

you kinda have to think
I'm amazing, by law.

- Hm. Oh, sof, wait!
- Hm? Hm?

This, uh, came for you
this morning.

What's that?

I, I can explain this.

Doesn't iowa university
have the best writing program

in the country? Hm.

Looks like I'm not the only one
who thinks you're amazing.

Well, go on, open it!

Though usually a big envelope
means...

Oh, my god! Jo, I got in!

I... I ju...

It's just because I, I didn't
think I'd get in,

'cause I applied just for fun,
and so that's just...

Yeah. That-that does
sound like fun.

Does, uh, dad know
that you applied?

No. I, uh,
I didn't want to upset him.

Remember how mad you got
when blake left?

Hey, hey, that-that...
That was completely different.

This is dad,
and blake was not my sister.

Okay, I just want
what's best for you.

But what is it that you want?

It's nice to know
I got into iowa,

but I also heard back
from hopewell university

and I remember you saying
how great it was.

- I loved it there.
- I know. And it's closer.

I can stay with you and dad

and, uh, it'll-it'll be
a lot easier for everyone.

Okay, well, just think about it.

Yeah. Okay.

- I gotta go.
- Uh...

Can I, um, look through those?

You know,
live vicariously through you?

Yeah, just don't let dad see it.

- No need to worry him.
- Okay.

Oh, um, hey, and don't forget,

your party is 7 p.M.
Sharp tonight!

Okay? Make sure you're ready!

She'll be fine.
You worry too much.

- You are up early.
- Yeah.

I had to take care
of a few things.

Oh, okay, well,
same goes for you, dad.

Do not be late
to your daughter's party.

And when you're done with that,
you wanna come in here

and help me for a minute?

- I'm almost done.
- Okay.

Sorry about that, blake.

Hey, no worries, mr. Mason.

Uh, so what were you saying?

Well, we could use
a whole new plan

to, you know,
catch up with the times.

I might only have a few days,

but would it help
if I come out there?

- You'd do that for us?
- Yeah, of course.

You were always there for me
as a kid,

you're like my second family.

- How are your folks, by the way?
- They're-they're doing great.

I'm definitely jealous
of all the sun they're getting

in florida, though.

[chuckles] yeah, I bet.

So, about the store,
how bad is it?

The truth is,
we may need to shut down.

Okay, well, let's make sure
that doesn't happen, then.

I'll hop on the next flight
out of jfk.

Well, that-that's wonderful.
That's wonderful.

And listen, if you get here
by tonight, come by the store.

We're havin' a little birthday
party for, uh, for sofi.

Okay. I'll see you then.

- [duke] all right, take care.
- Bye.

[cell phone ringing]

- blake harris here.
- [woman on phone] mr. Harris.

We just got your email
and wanted to confirm

you made
the next round of interviews.

That's great news, thank you.

Um, I'm actually gonna be
out of town

for the next couple of days,
though.

Well, we can always
do the interview by phone.

- Perfect. I'll talk to you then.
- Thank you.

- Thank you. Bye.
- Bye.

Sorry about that.

- This for carol?
- Uh, yeah.

Well, she'll be back in a bit.

You know, henry came
looking for you earlier,

but you were already gone.
What were you doing anyway?

Just a last-minute thing
for tonight.

Okay, I don't know
what that means,

but it better not involve
any extra cheese.

You know, I was thinking
about canceling the ribs

for the party
after your last lab results.

And here I thought
that children were supposed

to honor and respect
their parents.

Just make sure you eat
something green at the party.

You know, I still can't believe

that sofi is almost finished
high school.

I can hardly believe you've
already graduated high school.

- Where does the time go?
- Mm-hmm.

Yeah, well, if it was up to me,

I'd keep it from going so fast,
that's for sure.

What's this?

Don't you mind about that.
It's not for you.

But these are.

[sighs] "lights,
electricity, suppliers."

I'm stocking up on a few things
that people can't get online,

maybe that'll get
people in here.

Yeah, I've been seeing those
delivery trucks around town

more and more. People clickin'
instead of comin' in here.

Should we get a website, jo?

You know,
catch up with the times?

I mean, there's nothing wrong
with change.

Well, maybe.

But, uh, does that mean that
you're changing your attitude

about, uh, those ribs?

- I'm serious, jo.
- I know, dad.

Isn't the point of the store
to have a place

where people can just walk in?

If we have a website,
why even bother?

We'll figure somethin' out.

- [door opens]
- hello!

Okay! We have a customer.

- Our customers usually pay.
- Mm.

Let me give you
a hand there, carol.

- Oh, duke.
- Help you with that.

I wasn't expecting to see you
here. What a pleasant surprise.

It's nice to see you too, carol.

Uh, how-how's that fertilizer
treating you?

Oh, it's a lifesaver.

Ever since the distributor
discontinued it,

you finding it
at that wholesaler

has really kept me afloat.

- I can't thank you enough.
- Well, we're happy to help.

Oh, I don't know what I would do
without this place.

Okay, come on, you two,
let's get the rest of this

out to carol's car.

Ah, I'm really excited
about tonight, by the way.

- Will bob be here?
- Uh...

[duke] not if jo
has anything to say about it.

[carol] oh, what's a party
without ribs?

[jo] okay, okay, you guys,
I get it. Sheesh!

[duke chuckling]

I'm assuming everyone's ready
so we can go

and get to the party on time?

[sofi] five more minutes!

Hey, um, jo, there's something
that I've been meaning...

Dad, can you go ahead
and bring this to the party?

Because I have a feeling we're
gonna be a bit longer than that.

Uh, sure.

Well, take care, I'll make sure
everything is under control.

Guests will be fed
and entertained.

Oh, wait, dad!

You girls always manage to be
late for your own parties.

You know, your mother was late
for our wedding.

You're becoming more and more
like her every day.

You know, dad,
there are some mornings

when I'm opening up the store,
and I know this sounds crazy,

but I feel like
she's there with me.

That's not one bit crazy, jo.

She put everything she was
into that place.

I better get to those ribs
before they're all gone.

- Hey!
- [sofi] just five more minutes!

Uh, you said that
five minutes ago!

[sofi] what were you and dad
talking about?

About me growing up,
you growing up, stuff...

[mumbling]

okay, which one?

- What do you think?
- Oh...

I would've liked you
to have chosen an hour ago.

Uh, come on, which one?

- Uh, the one on the right.
- Okay.

Hey, and please hurry!

What the...

Okay, ready.

- What do you think?
- Would you look at that?

Dad was right.
You look just like mom.

Do not make me cry tonight.

- All right, let's go.
- Okay.

- Do you think it's gonna rain?
- Um, nah.

[sofi] oh! Oh!

- [jo] oh!
- You said it wouldn't rain!

I know!
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hold on!

What?

I just, I want you to know

that I'll support you no matter
what you choose in life.

And so will dad.

Thanks, jo.

So, you know, I'm officially
late because of you, right?

Okay, go on.

[upbeat music]

- oh, my... Thanks, jo.
- Have fun.

- Hey, shawn!
- [sofi] hi.

Mrs. Hays, you made it!
Thank you for coming.

- Hey, dad! Hey, carol! Hi, bob!
- Oh, you're here.

- Did sofi like what we've done?
- Oh, she loves it.

Thank you so much
for setting it up.

Oh, it's my pleasure.

And don't you look lovely
tonight.

You do, too.

Uh, well, you do, too.
You do, too, carol.

- Thank you.
- Yes, thank you for helping.

It's very, uh, helpful.
Listen, jo, I...

One delicious pulled-rib
sandwich just for you.

- Thank you, bob.
- [bob] thank you.

Nice to get together with
the community and see everyone.

I don't remember the last time
I went out just to have fun.

Well, as long as the store
is around,

this town will have a place
for things like this.

What's up, dad?

Excuse us for a second.

- What's goin' on?
- Okay, listen.

I-I didn't know
how to bring it up.

- And I didn't wanna upset you.
- What is it?

So a special guest
is coming tonight.

- A special guest?
- [sofi] blake?

Oh! Oh, my...
Oh, my goodness! Blake!

- [laughs] hey!
- Blake! Jo, it's blake!

W-when did you get here?

- Right now.
- Come with me.

Are you just staying for the
party or are you moving back?

Please tell me
you're moving back.

It's nice to see you, blake.

How unexpected.

Good to see you, too, jo.

But first, I got this for you.

Happy birthday, sof.

Wait...

How did you know that I needed
a new laptop case?

- I don't know...
- This is exactly what I needed.

- Good.
- Thank you, blake.

Do you mind
if I go show my friends?

- Go for it.
- Okay.

So, you two,
what's happening here?

Wait, does she not know that...

Know what?

Well, there's a, there's a short
answer and a long answer.

- Your choice.
- Okay, well...

Why blake is in town
is, is the long answer,

which I think is best we discuss
after you have a beverage.

Which... I-I can help with that.
Let me help with that.

Right.

Why blake is here tonight
is easier.

He was such a big part
of sofi's life growing up,

I thought
since he was already in town,

he should be here for her.

Trust me that I will fill you in
later, okay?

You two go on and catch up,
go on.

So, hello.

Hi.

[bottles clinking]

this is insane.

- Yes.
- So, uh, how you been?

Let's see,
I still live in brooklyn,

I own my own consulting company

and I've been back
for five minutes

and it feels like
I never left. You?

I never left.

It's treating you well.

So, uh...

How badly do you want

one of bob's ribbed sandwiches?

- Pretty bad. Yeah.
- Right?

- Shall we? Okay.
- Yes, please.

No, no, no, that is not true.

It-it is true, you ran out
of that graduation party

and I had to chase you
all the way out to that field.

Are you kidding me?
I remember chasing you!

- No. Not a chance.
- Yes.

Hey, blake, I just wanted
to thank you again

for this. I love it.

Oh, I'm sure
it'll come in handy.

So I can't believe
that you're here.

Can you tell me,
like, about living in the city?

Well, I live in brooklyn, so

that's technically
not the city, but...

But, like,
brooklyn's more chic, right?

I suppose so, but I still love
these barbecues here,

and those ribs, but there's a
lot of delicious food there too

like asian fusion barbecue.

And there's this great place
in astoria I can recommend.

- Can you?
- Mm-hmm.

Can you recommend a place
in astoria?

[sofi] is it so loud
that you can't sleep?

- Sometimes.
- Okay, so is it true...

Hey, sof, that's enough
questions for right now.

One more. Is it true
the place is never closed?

Like, stores and stuff.

They do close,
but super, super, super late.

- Like 4 a.M. Sometimes. Yeah.
- That is so cool.

Okay, wait, add me as a friend,
that way I can

just see all your adventures
and everything.

- Is it that one? Yeah, okay.
- That's me.

- There we go.
- Nice.

How about you, jo? You want
to send me a friend request?

[sofi chuckles] oh, she doesn't
do social media.

I made her an account
and everything

and she doesn't even use it.

Oh, don't I know it?

What does that mean?

Just, I sent you
a friend request a while ago

and you never responded to it,
that's all.

Well, I just think friends are
people you talk to in real life.

[sofi] there we go, here.
We are friends. Thank you.

- [sofi laughs]
- friends. Nice.

See?

She's awesome.

I can tell she's gonna love
living in the city.

Well, we're not sure
where she's gonna go just yet.

What, she's not gonna
go to school?

Oh, she is,
we just don't know where.

- She has to go to the city.
- Has to?

Well, yeah, I mean,
that's where she belongs.

Come on, you've been here,
what, four minutes,

and you already know
where sofi belongs?

I can tell and you can tell.

Are you telling me
what I should think?

N-no, I'm just trying
to explain that...

Oh, yes, yes, please ex-explain
to me what I should think.

There are some people
that like small towns

and some people
that need to get out.

Well, let me explain to you...

-Jo, help, it's dad!

- Breathe, dad!
- Breathe, breathe.

Jo, please hurry! Dad!

Dad! Hey, hey, what's going on?

- Oh, what's...
- Blake, call an ambulance.

- Jo, what's happening?
- Dad, dad.

It's okay, we're here.
We're here.

What's happening?
What's happening?

[jo] hey.

Hey, it's okay.

He's doing better.

It was just a scare, really.

We just need to make sure
that he's taking better care

of himself from now on, okay?

- Is he still awake?
- I think so.

- I'm gonna go see him.
- Okay.

- You okay?
- Yeah.

Uh, thanks for, uh,
staying with sofi.

How's he really doing?

Well, he just needs
to avoid some stress,

stay away from work.

Other than that,
he should be okay.

Listen, jo, you're gonna have to
change a few things around here.

That's the real reason I came.

You know what, blake,
um, the truth is

is that I'm not crazy
about you being here.

I didn't mean to...

I appreciate you
staying with sofi,

but I think
it's time for you to go now.

Okay.

I'm gonna be taking in
the old sights tomorrow,

if you wanna talk or anything.

[mellow music]

[sighs]

[knocking on door]

- hey, dad.
- Hey.

Brought you a snack.

Ah...

Guess I better get used to this
being called a snack

from now on, huh?

- Sofi go to bed?
- Yeah.

In case you haven't noticed,
it's been a long night.

I, uh, ran across this
downstairs.

That's...
It's nothing. That's nothing.

Look, jo, it's just somethin'
I was readin' about.

I know what the store
means to you,

to me and sofi,
to the whole community.

I have to do something
to keep it open.

It's not the right time
to retire.

In a few weeks from now, dad,

when all the bulk of the bills
are due,

were you planning on paying them
with your savings?

We had a, a real scare today.

When I got home, I realized I
should help out as much as I can

while I still can.

I'm, uh, I'm working
on some stuff, dad, okay?

I've got the new line

and I'm working
with the suppliers.

And the savings are for you,
okay?

You can't sacrifice that.

That's what family does, they
sacrifice when they have to.

That's why blake is here,
isn't it?

I'm sorry I didn't tell you
beforehand,

I didn't know how to.

Look, he saves businesses
for a living, jo.

I figured we could use his help.

We don't need him, dad.
We can figure it out on our own.

[chuckles]

jo, when your mom got the smart
idea to open up a store,

I thought she was nuts.

But she wanted to plant roots
in the community.

She wanted to connect
with people, to help them out.

I have to try everything
to save that store.

It's what she would want.
And if blake can help us...

He only thinks about himself,
dad.

I mean, when was the last time
you even saw him?

- At your mom's funeral.
- What?

I know you think
he didn't show up, but he did.

I don't know
why he didn't talk to you,

I'm sure he has his reasons,
but he was there.

He cared enough to come.

He cares about us, jo.
Let him help.

You were listening?

You can't do this
on your own, jo.

I'm not doing it on my own.
Dad...

He won't be able to work
for a while.

You're gonna need help,
so I've been thinking

what if I defer going to
hopewell u for a little while?

Well, what about iowa?

I told you,
I applied just for fun.

Hey, you don't need
to make a decision just yet.

It's what family does.
They make sacrifices.

[birds chirping]

I thought I'd find you here.

I'm sorry about yesterday.
I shouldn't have snapped.

It was all just too much,
seeing you, dad's scare,

sofi growing up so fast...

Remember the last time
we were here?

It was the morning
of graduation.

- Yeah.
- And I ran away.

Everyone was so busy,
and when I turned around,

you were just gone.

But I knew
this is where you'd be.

I was just so worried
that it was my last chance to...

[scoffs] I don't know.

Duke asked me to come, jo.

He told me.

Why didn't you tell me that
you came to my mom's funeral?

I meant to, but when I saw you,

you were being so strong
for your dad and sofi.

I, I hadn't talked to you
in years.

I really didn't think you needed
anything else going on.

I have to be upfront with you,
jo.

I might be leaving
in a few days.

I'm waiting to hear back
on this job, and if I get it,

I'm going back to new york.

Sounds nice.

Yeah.

Maybe.

I, I don't know, something's
been missing for a while now

and I've tried so many things
to sort it out,

but nothing works.

I honestly think
helping out with the store

will be really good for me.

Well, I'm glad to know
it'll be good for one of us.

[laughs] okay.

Okay, fine. You can help out
with the store.

But there's gonna be some rules.

Oh. Oh, you're in charge.

I do what you say
and you have the final word.

Oh? Well, I'm glad
you're aware of the rules.

Now, I know how you feel
about change, but...

[scoffs] you're already starting
with a but?

You just have to keep
an open mind.

- Okay.
- Okay.

All right, well, I will see you
tomorrow morning at the store.

Good.

I'm, uh, glad you came.

It's nice to know that you care.

Tomorrow morning, 7 a.M. Sharp.

7:02 and all bets are off.

We are absolutely
not doing that.

Jo, we've been back and forth
on this for hours.

I told you
it was gonna be drastic.

Drastic I can handle.

You wanna restructure
the traffic? Fine.

You wanna change the toner
suppliers? Not a problem.

But we are not redesigning
the structure of the building.

Uh, that's not what I said.
I said

replace the windows, that's all.

The windows are fine
the way they are.

Uh, look at these.
These things are old.

- They are beautiful.
- But they're old.

They're leaking like crazy.

You're wasting so much money

because
it's an outdated building.

If you replace them
with more modern things...

- Cold. Eyesores.
- Efficient.

Look, I've already
explained this.

Income's important,
but it's fluid.

Expenditures are something
you can control.

I know, I get it.

Then why are you fighting me
on this?

Because some things
just can't be changed.

Look, jo, you're gonna
have to try to come out

of your comfort zone for
this one 'cause it's much better

to change something now
that you might like

than having to change something
in the future

that you're definitely
gonna hate.

Let this one go.

Okay, fine.

How about we take the candy
from the front of the store...

- No, can't do it.
- Oh, oh, come on! Why not?

You only make money
on low-cost items

if you sell a lot of them.

You have to keep them near
the register to take advantage

of the customers'
impulse tendencies.

Trust me,
that is not a good idea.

And-and have you listened
to yourself?

Taking advantage
of the customers.

You know
that's not what I'm saying.

You're not listening. Okay...

Whatever book you got that from,

that's not how things work
in the real world.

[scoffs]
you are the most stubborn...

I'll, uh, just add that
to your tab.

- Was that mrs. Hays?
- Yup.

She looks good for her age.

She does.

She comes in here every day.

She opens that door,

she grabs her favorite candy
and leaves.

That is the highlight
of her day.

It's possible
some of the theories need to be

adjusted to this town.

Yes.

And we are not
some online conglomerate

whose bottom line
are shareholders.

She is our bottom line,

and so is carol
who sometimes has trouble

finding her plant feed,

or henry who uses
a special fishing tack

that he can only find here.

Is it silly to hold
some of these things in stock?

Of course it is.

But who else will take care
of this community?

Who else will have
just what they need?

If we take away all that,
what will we be left with?

A profit. Look, jo, w-wa-wait,
you're not wrong.

Oh, is that how they say
someone is right in brooklyn?

No, because
I'm not wrong either.

Maybe you can squeak by
for the next couple of months

by doing what you're doing,

but you're gonna have to make
a compromise

if you wanna move past this.

You know what, we'll think
better on a full stomach.

I'm in.

Oh, coat.

- Think fast.
- Thank you. Oh!

[jo] and you're buying.
[blake] uh, I'll consider it.

We can rock, paper, scissors
for it.

Nah.

"business restructure
consultant."

did you just wake up one day
and decide to do that full-time?

Sorta, yeah.

After I graduated
business school,

I got this sweet corporate job
in the city,

but I guess it never felt right.

I wanted to help people,
so I went out on my own.

And it's been great, but...

But something's missing?

Yeah, I mean, I guess.

I, like, I love my job,
and I love my work,

just sometimes it feels like...

- Is that your...
- Dad!

[instrumental music]

what the heck?

Dad! What are you doing?

You're not supposed
to be eating this stuff.

I'm just here for the company.

And the smell.

Okay, good then.

Sorry, I-I thought that...

I know,
I'm taking care of my health.

- Okay.
- Why are you here?

Uh, blake here
needs some real food.

- Right?
- Yeah.

Really,
I'm-I'm gonna go stand in line.

Okay.

How's it going at the store?

Uh, it's good,
you know, we're getting there.

You just need to rest, dad.

- Goin' okay with blake?
- Yeah.

He's trying. It's nice.

It kinda feels like
before he left, you know?

Okay, then we should, uh,
we should head back.

Hm?

I'm, uh, feeling tired.

What?

You almost done, sof?

Uh, just like, one more minute,
okay?

I just wanna finish my chips.

I'll go start the car.

Okay.

Hey, uh, we still need to talk
about iowa university, sof.

Oh, is that where you're going?

It has one of the best writers'
workshop in the country.

You know what, I'm just focusing
on helping dad right now.

- I can think about school later.
- Yeah.

She's not certain
where she's gonna go yet.

[duke] hey, sofi! You comin'?

Uh...

Yeah, I'm gonna...

- I'm gonna go.
- Okay.

- I'll see you later.
- See you later.

- What was that about?
- Ah.

I'll fill you in
over these delicious sandwiches.

- Yes.
- Thanks, bob.

You've done it aga... What?

[laughing]

oh...

And then the sprinklers went off

and then the tests got all wet,

and it took a week
to retake them.

And then principal herman
was like,

"what do you have to say
for yourself, blake?"

and you're like, "I love it
when a plan comes together."

hey, we had a lot of good times
in high school.

Yeah, we did.

Hey, do you ever wonder...

Uh, never mind, that's...

Wonder what?

Nothing.

Do you ever wonder?

Yeah. All the time.

I constantly think
what life would be like

if you got on that train.

Why didn't you tell me
you weren't gonna come?

I, uh...

I tried.

But, you know...

Yeah.

[sighs]

[instrumental music]

I'm sorry I didn't call you
about your mom.

I wanted to when I heard
about her illness, but...

I don't know. I didn't think
you wanted to hear from me.

It would have been nice
to hear from you.

The first year was the hardest.

And the few years after that
weren't any better.

So I moved in
with my dad and sofi

just to make sure
that they were okay.

And I've just been there
ever since

taking care of the store,
taking care of both of them.

You did a great job
stepping in for mom.

You know...

My mom designed everything
about that store.

If we change everything,

what will be left of her?

Is there anything you don't like
about the store?

[chuckles] the sign.

- Gah!
- Why?

You know,
I never liked that sign.

- Me neither.
- Oh.

All right,
we'll do what you said.

Uh, what's that?

Compromise.

- Deal.
- Deal.

K I'm doing this right.

No, it's great, once that dries,
we'll paint over it

and it will be perfect.

You know, I love this compromise

because you get to keep
your amazing windows

and stop hemorrhaging costs.

Does that mean
we make a good team?

Yes, but you-you might wanna
keep that in mind

for this next part.
But it's good, I promise.

Now, we've maximized
our usage of the shelves,

but now you have
this empty corner in there

and we need to figure out
how to leverage that.

- [carol] hello!
- Oh, uh, carol, over here.

- Oh.
- Hi.

Oh good,
you're sprucing up the color.

What was wrong
with the other color?

Oh. It was bland.

Is that the color
you're going with?

- Yeah.
- Hm.

- Is, uh, duke here?
- Oh, no. He's at home resting.

I'll make sure
to send him your best.

I'll just leave the money
on the...

- Oh, yeah. Okay.
- Mm-hmm.

Bye, carol.

That's a great color
and it matches everything.

I swear, everyone in this town
has an opinion.

- Wait, what did you just say?
- It matches everything.

No, no, uh, about carol
having an opinion. I'm...

What if, I mean,

everyone has an opinion
of the store?

What if we pick their brains
and ask them

what they think can make
the store better for them?

Ah. A focus group.
That's a great idea.

We should be gathering data
on what they think.

- So...
- Who you calling?

Well, we should start
calling people right now.

- We can't waste time.
- Wait, let me get this straight.

You are gonna call
some people in town right now

during the day to save time.

[chuckles] yes.

Uh, yeah, I don't think
you understand, I...

Okay, jo, I went to business
school in new york city.

And I know you think
we're just stuffed-up suits,

but we just might know
more than you think.

And maybe we know
a little bit more than you.

Hm. Well, okay, new york,
sounds like you're right.

You better get calling. You know
what? I'm gonna help you out.

- Sure. Please do.
- Here is mrs. Hays' number.

She'll be your best bet to get,
uh, a quick conversation.

- Great.
- There you go.

And I'm gonna use
some of the marketing tools

that I learned in school.

Huh. There you go.

Hey, ms. Hays, it's, uh,
blake harris from daisy hills.

I was won...

I, uh, yeah, waylon's son.
Yeah, I was wondering if...

- Mm.
- Uh, brooklyn.

Yes, I... no, I-I got
the braces off a long time ago.

I-I-I was won...

No, they don't call me that
anymore.

Uh...

[instrumental music]

[blake] yeah. Thank you,
ms. Hays.

[indistinct chatter]

okay, yup, yes. Okay then.

Okay. Bye.

So how is mrs. Hays doing?

She's good,
she's got a new apple-pie recipe

that's really working out.

Ah. Oh, that only took about,
uh, two hours.

How many people do you think
we need in our focus group?

Please never make me
do that again.

Quick calls to people
we haven't spoken to in a while

isn't really something we do
around here, blake.

That's what I was trying
to tell you

and your big new york city
education.

I deserve that. I do.

But I still think
the focus group's a good idea.

Is there any way we can, like,
text everyone or something?

I don't know.

Do you really think
asking people questions

will help you figure out
how to move forward?

- I know it will.
- Okay.

Then tomorrow we will do
what we should have done today.

[instrumental music]

[birds chirping]

[car honking]

hey there, bob.

You know the roots of that tree
are tearing up the sidewalk.

- Right?
- Yes, they are.

Has anyone ever asked you
to cut down that tree?

Yeah, they have.

And let me guess,

you said that
that's not really an option

because your mother
loved that tree.

Nah. I like to keep that part
to myself.

- Okay.
- You ready?

- Can't wait.
- Yeah.

[blake] so are you sure
what we need to do?

Yeah, well, it was, uh, my idea

to talk to people in person,
right?

Oh, yeah, yeah.

I just wanna make sure
we get the answers we want.

Is your girlfriend okay with you
being such a micro-manager?

Are you trying to find out
if I have a girlfriend?

No, I'm just,
just making small talk.

Oh. Well, I bet your boyfriend
hates small talk. Oh, wait.

That's right, uh, don't think
you have a boyfriend.

I might have a boyfriend,
you don't know that.

Ah, I talked to ms. Hays
forever on the phone yesterday,

so there's nothing
about this town I don't know.

[scoffs]

you didn't answer my question.

Well, if I did have
a girlfriend,

which I don't, she would love
that I'm detail oriented.

[laughs] detail oriented.

- Yeah, that's right.
- Mm.

[music continues]

so people around town
are really gonna be okay

with taking time out
of their busy day to talk to us

face-to-face?

Yeah, blake, I may have left out

a very important part.

[cow mooing]

we're doing chores, aren't we?

You said you wanted
a face-to-face with people,

right?

Yeah. No, this,
this is brilliant.

The-the more we help them,
the more they help us.

- Hm.
- Hey, guys.

Hey, henry,
hope we're not too late.

- Right on time. Come on.
- Okay.

You know, henry, you're always
whittling away.

Do you have any finished pieces
I could see?

Actually, uh...

Yeah.

This is amazing!

- You like it?
- Are you kidding?

Look at your workmanship.

Henry, you're an artist!

- Oh, that's just something...
- Hey, blake.

- Come over here and see this!
- Come on...

One sec, let me finish this.

Guess you can take a man
out of the country,

but not the other way around.

Yeah.

- What's up?
- Look at this.

- What's this?
- Henry's hobby.

- Wow, really?
- Yeah.

You know, if you like that,
you should see the barn.

- Yeah.
- Oh.

Wow! Henry, this...

Whoa!

This is incredible.
You made all of these?

Well, I gotta do something
with my off time.

- You ever heard of the internet?
- I'm a multi-tasker.

Hey, thank you so much
for talking with us.

Well, you don't have to go
so soon.

I had a whole bunch of other
chores I'd rather blake do.

- [chuckling]
- oh, next time.

Yeah, we're...
We gotta meet carol.

- Oh.
- Yeah.

Sure is good
to see you two back together.

You should come back again.

- Oh, I, um...
- We're not...

[blake] there she is. [jo] yup.

Oh, hello!

[jo sighs]

- hey, carol! Sorry we're late.
- Hi.

- Hey!
- Oh, no.

- [car honking]
- ooh.

[laughing] good to see you.

[blake] yeah, it does that
sometimes.

[thunder rumbling]

well, what do you think?

I think you should come over
and help me garden more often.

Oh...

I'm wearing this correctly,
right?

[gasps] you fit right in.

Great job, blake. You really
do have two green thumbs.

Well, you'd be surprised
how much gardening

there is in brooklyn.

And beekeeping and there's yoga.

Bees? In the city?

Don't they have enough trouble
down there?

These are just gorgeous, carol,
some of

the most beautiful flowers
I've ever seen.

How'd you do it?

Well, you know, blake, it's like

everything else in life.

The more you put into something

the greater the results.

But it really helps
when you have

people around you can rely on,
like jo here.

You made a good move
coming back for her.

I'm glad to see the two of you
getting back together.

Now would anyone like some tea?

- No...
- I've got some in the house.

No, no, we're-we're not, uh...

Oh, no, I've got plenty of tea.

How's duke doing?
Does he need a little visit?

[jo laughing]

does ms. Hays know we're coming?

Yeah, she just wants us to
go through a couple of records.

- Hm.
- Nice.

Okay, so don't go downstairs

because mrs. Hays said that
she didn't finish telling you

the whole story about her cousin

when you guys were on the phone
yesterday.

Well, at least she doesn't think
we're dating again.

She absolutely thinks
that we're dating again.

In fact, she said
that I should come up here

to have some, uh, time alone
with you

while you, uh, organize
her records.

Well, you'll really be shocked
because she's got everything.

This collection's huge.

Jazz, big band,
classic rock, disco...

- [gasps]
- kids pop.

Are you kidding me?

I love this record! Ah...

- [music on record]
- oh, yeah.

- Oh, no, no, no.
- Yes.

That is, that is
way, way, way too much.

Well, remember they played this
at our prom?

- I do remember that prom.
- That was so awesome.

Uh, can you still do the thing?

- Which thing?
- You know the thing.

- You can do it.
- Oh, the thing. Okay.

[chuckles]

♪ this love we share
is so amazing ♪

should we, uh...

- Yeah!
- Yeah, I, uh...

I think
that we're, uh, done for today.

- Yeah. Yeah, um...
- [record turns off]

I'll keep organizing
and put those over there

and, you, uh, you go on and...

[instrumental music]

[blake] boy, sitting
in front of a computer

does not make you
feel like this.

You just need
a good night's sleep.

Well, I'm not tired.
Well, I am tired.

I'm fulfilled.

When I first moved to brooklyn
there is nothing that I thought

I'd miss
about small-town living.

Calloused hands,
working out in the rain,

and the smell of
fresh fertilizer on the ground.

Just, what you take for granted

is the things
you end up missing the most.

Fresh fertilizer, huh,
that's what you missed the most?

[chuckles]
not as much as other things.

Uh, well, this is a,
a great day, blake.

- I will, uh, see you tomorrow.
- Yeah. Yeah.

- Okay. Bye.
- Bye.

Oh, uh, hey,
I have a thing tomorrow morning.

- So tomorrow afternoon.
- Okay. Bye.

Bye.

[cell phone ringing]

blake harris.

[woman on phone] hi, mr. Harris.

It's 5 burroughs consulting.

We're just confirming
tomorrow's final interview.

We look forward to it. Thanks.

Great.

Hey.

Oh, hey!

- Where's dad?
- Uh, he went to bed.

I just wanted to finish
working on this piece.

- Huh, what are you doing?
- I'm not really sure yet.

- I-it's about our town.
- [jo] yeah?

- Can I read it?
- When it's done.

How was today? You seem smiley.

- I'm not smiley.
- Mm-hmm.

- Is that the bag blake gave you?
- Yeah.

- It is super nice.
- Yeah, I love it.

Um, it's like he knew exactly
what I needed.

Yeah, he does that.
Hey, what's this?

It's my rejection letter
to iowa.

Your rejection letter to iowa?
I...

I thought you were gonna
think about it.

I did think about it.

And I can't just
up and leave you.

You didn't leave mom.

Sofi, I didn't stay here
for mom or dad.

I stayed here for me.

Some people
have to leave their hometowns

and some people don't.

You have to do
what's best for you.

Okay.

Uh, hey.

You, uh, hungry? Mm?

- Yeah.
- Mm. I am starving.

Okay. Let's go.

So I just turned on
the record player

and it was that song
that played at our prom.

So I just, you know, I started
showin' him my moves.

That's so cute. I can't believe
you guys just started dancing.

Oh, it was, it was really nice.

- All right, ladies.
- Hey. Hi.

- Ooh. Okay.
- Here you go.

These are the last of them.

You guys came right on time.

Thank you.

Looks delicious. Hey,

- what's up?
- So I've been thinking.

Would you like to join
our daisy hills focus group?

Oh, would I?

- [chuckles] good.
- Yeah.

Great. Can I ask you
a few questions?

Absolutely.

It's the lack of space
that really kills me, you know?

It must be tough trying to find
a new location every day.

Well, you know,
sometimes I luck out

trying to get a permit.

Other times, not so lucky.
So gotta wait it out.

Right? But it's all good,
you know?

Why go through all the trouble?

Because I love feeding people,
jo. I love it.

What else am I gonna do?

What I wouldn't give

for a permanent location,
you know?

I would make any spot work
and work that spot.

[instrumental music]

whoa, whoa, wait. Wait!

Sorry, sof. Get up.

Yeah!

[music]

oh, wait, wait, wait, close
your eyes, close your eyes.

- Okay.
- Okay.

Put that down right there.

What's going on?

So last night

sofi and I were starving

after you dropped me off

and so we decided to grab a bite
at bob's.

He was still open.

Yeah, he, uh, works late

just in case
he doesn't know where

or if he has a spot
the next day.

You know, you guys
should consider joining forces

because that could benefit
everyone.

Oh, wow.

- That is a good idea.
- Ta-da!

Good thing
I thought of it first.

- You're a genius!
- Wait, what was that?

Could-could you say that louder
for everyone to hear?

- She's a genius.
- Ah, yes, yes, yes.

And bob is gonna use his truck
as the kitchen,

and I was thinking
he could stock some things

just back here

and we can maybe put some
tables and chairs back there.

That way everyone will know
where bob is all the time.

- It's a win for everyone.
- Win-win-win.

I love it. This is amazing.

- Ooh. Was he surprised?
- Yes, of course.

Okay, we gotta post this.
Come here.

- Ooh, yes.
- Hey, you gotta get in here too.

- What?
- Come on.

- Come on.
- Okay, ready?

Come to bob's ribs
at the daisy hills store.

Come and get your grub on.

[laughing] here we go.

Hey, make sure you tag me
so I can repost it, okay?

- Okay. What should we do?
- All right.

Uh, hashtag country life,
hashtag bob's...

- Ribstand?
- Ribstand, there we go.

You sure you two don't wanna
enjoy this in real life?

Uh, you're just gonna
have to get used to it

'cause we're gonna have
an account out real soon.

- That's actually a great idea.
- Oh, really?

- Yeah.
- Why don't we go all virtual?

Like, who needs walls
and human interaction?

Hey, bob, do you think we can
have one of your sandwiches

through social media?
Is that possible?

- Working on it.
- Good call.

Hey, we're gonna get there.

- A-are we?
- Baby steps.

Hashtag virtual reality,

hashtag bob's burgers
on social media?

Place looks great, jo.

Hey, is this, uh,
bob's new place for the week?

Uh, no, sir.

This is bob's permanent spot.

- Right here.
- Yup.

Well, that will make things
easier.

That's the point. Make sure
that you share the news.

That's, uh, old-school
for social media.

So, uh, what's going on?
Can I get you anything?

Actually I've, uh,
I've got something for you.

- Oh.
- Uh, for both of you.

I wanted you to have this
for helping out yesterday.

Oh.

- It's beautiful.
- Oh, thank you.

- We can't take this.
- Of course you can.

You know, I love making those,

but the real pleasure

is in sharing them.

Why didn't we think of this?

We could sell the woodwork here.

- Yes!
- Uh...

- Sell my woodwork? I...
- Yeah.

Your beautiful woodwork.

Oh, I don't know. Who'd-who'd
even wanna buy these things?

I'd definitely buy
something like this.

Well, she's just being polite.

- Oh, it's...
- No. Wait.

This is actually
really, really nice.

Yeah, I'm gonna go show bob.

Yeah, we all like it.

Uh, you said it yourself,

you love sharing this
with everyone.

Give everyone a chance
to get one for themselves.

- Uh, uh, how would that even...
- H-how about this?

Whatever we sell,
you take 60, you take 40?

- A-as long as that's fair.
- Yup.

Fair would be 50-50.

Okay, henry.
You got yourself a partner.

Thank you.

Wow. This is...

There's a lot of talented people
here.

I know.

[instrumental music]

[instrumental music]

[indistinct chatter]

uh, can we put mrs. Hays'
records just over there?

Hey, are you okay if I move this
up against, uh...

- Of course. Yeah.
- Okay? Great.

You, were you expecting me
to put up a fight or something?

Hey, you are handling this
remarkably well.

Well, two weeks ago,
jo would have been freaking out,

but today jo is...

Uh, what about those?
Do you mind if I get...

Whatever you need, carol.

I'm super proud of you.
You're doing great.

Well, I think that there are
those who love what they know

and those who know
what they love.

And if you're lucky enough
to figure out which one you are,

you can do something about it.

You know, it's not about
changing the store.

It's about finding
the root of the store.

Well, the hardest part is over.

Moving forward,
it's gonna be nice...

- How about, um, the display?
- Yes, carol.

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

I think it'll be smooth sailing
from here.

- [glass shattering]
- [gasps]

[carol] oops.

- I'm gonna go help carol.
- Yeah. That's a good idea.

[instrumental music]

it'll be great
once the display case is set up.

But-but-but what exactly
are designer cupcakes?

Oh, they're different colors
and they have stuff on top.

- She makes them herself.
- So they're cupcakes?

No, dad.
They're not just cupcakes.

[duke] they are cupcakes.
[sofi] no, they're not.

Hey, did you know we're selling
designer cupcakes now?

It's an all new store here now,
dad.

[chuckles] yeah.

[instrumental music]

you've done something
really special here, jo.

Your mom would be
so proud of you.

You're gonna make me cry.

Well, I'm still gonna say it.

I couldn't be more proud.

[music continues]

thank you.

Uh, there's just
one more change.

[rain pattering]

[jo] you did this?

Well, henry asked
if we might need

any new signage for the store

and I swear someone said we did.

Yup. That was me.

It's, it's perfect.

I love it.

Oh.

[car honking]

[chuckles] what is this?

Well, I talked to some guys
and it turns out

you don't
have to cut down the tree.

You just build the sidewalk
around it.

It just,
it might take a little bit.

What?

When did you do this?

I told you I was busy yesterday.

Do you like it?

It's wonderful.

Care for a swing?

You did an amazing job, jo.

[chuckles] we did, blake.

Listen, I know
that I was hesitant at first,

but you've really helped us out.

So thank you.

You're welcome.

What?

Why didn't you ask me to stay?

"if you love something,
let it go."

I had to let you go, blake.

I always knew that I wanted
to stay in daisy hills.

And that was best for me,
but it wasn't best for you.

I wish that we could have
stayed together.

And I often think

what would've happened

if I would've followed you
to nyu.

But I can't think

of what would have happened
if I asked you to stay.

That would have led
to a life of regret.

I spent a lot of time
in new york

trying to figure out who I was
or what I was doing.

And I think I'm still trying
to figure that out.

But what I was looking for,
it wasn't in new york.

And you're right.

I would've regretted
staying here.

- I should go.
- Hey.

And I should have done this
a long time ago.

[instrumental music]

I'll see you tomorrow.

Goodnight.

[sighs]

[chuckles]

[sighs]

you totally made out with blake.

- What? No! I...
- Mm-hmm.

Why? Did you see us?

Okay, wait. Wait, what?

No. I was kidding! You need
to tell me everything right now.

Why are you still up?

Uh, I really wanna finish up
the story.

Okay, wait, tell me please.

Okay, well, uh...

I'll tell you in five years.
Goodnight.

Wait, wait, wait. I actually
have a question, please.

It's not about that.
It's about the story.

I've been thinking...

Do we even have
an advertising plan?

What do you mean?

Well, a lot of the community

is invested in the store now,
right?

So how are we even gonna
get people

from outside of the town
to know about it?

That's why we're gonna have
a meeting tomorrow morning.

- We are?
- We are now.

- Goodnight.
- Okay. Goodnight.

I don't see
how that's old-fashioned.

I mean, a billboard
was good enough for my daddy

and his daddy before him.

And you don't see
how that's old-fashioned, dad?

Okay, I got two words for you.
Viral marketing.

That's a great idea, but you
can't force those things.

They have to be natural.
I mean, how about we buy...

Okay, stop right there.
We only have $500.

And now we have 475.
What can we even get for that?

A big old sign on the 163.

Bring in folks
off the main highway.

Uh, well, can we even get a sign
for less than $500?

Go talk to brad.

The billboard guy.
Eh, what the heck? Come on, sof.

You guys, uh, okay keeping
an eye out on the store?

- We got it. You're welcome.
- All right.

[cell phone ringing]

- oh, I gotta take this.
- Yeah.

- Blake harris speaking.
- [woman on phone] mr. Harris.

Great news,
we'd like to offer you

the partnership at 5 burroughs.

That is great news.

We'd like you to start
tomorrow morning.

Wow. That soon?

Very excited to introduce you

to the board.

Great.

I'll give you a call later.

- Sounds good. Okay. ■ - okay?

- Thank you.
- Buh-bye.

Everything all right there, son?

I got the job.

They want me in new york
tomorrow morning.

Well, well, that seems
like, uh, an opportunity.

It is.

You ever get queasy making
those big decisions though?

[chuckles] yeah. Yeah, I have.

It just comes down
to one or the other.

I mean, life is just one choice
after another,

and you don't know
how it's gonna turn out.

But as long
as you're true to yourself,

you're making
the right decision.

You're right.

I guess I gotta
take care of business, then.

[door shuts]

hey, dad,
have you seen my cell phone?

Uh, no, no. I haven't.

Is, uh... Where did blake go?

He got the job.

They want him to start tomorrow.

I'm so sorry, jo.

[scoffs]
there's no apology needed.

It's his dream job, after all.

I, uh, only wish
he would've said goodbye.

Well, I'm sure he'll come
to see you before he leaves.

Won't that just hurt more?

[instrumental music]

I don't get it. Why didn't we
get the billboard?

What if
this is all just overboard?

Maybe things were better
for everyone

the way they were before.

For everyone or for you?

Do you want to go to iowa, sof?

I can go to hopewell u.

It's a, it's a great school.

Yeah, but iowa has

the best program for writing,
right?

Yeah, but whatever,
it's, it's fine.

Listen, sof...

If you don't follow your heart,

one day you might wake up
and wish you had.

And it might be too late.

You and dad are in my heart,
too.

Dad and I want
what's best for you.

We'll be fine.

It's late. Can we go home?

Yeah.

Um, why don't you go out there,
uh, I'll meet you?

Okay.

[instrumental music]

[music continues]

[laptop keys clacking]

I'm gonna turn in, sof.

I'm gonna stay up for a bit
and finish my story.

You wanna tell me
what it's about?

What you were saying before.

Life, choices, everything.

Well, I can't wait to read it.

Hey, where's blake, by the way?
I haven't seen him in a while.

Uh, he's gone back to new york.

Wait, w-without saying goodbye?

Goodnight, sof.

[instrumental music]

[music continues]

[sofi] more than three decades
ago, my mother pursued a dream,

one she nurtured and cultivated.

With my father's help,
she designed, built,

and for many years,
ran the daisy hills store,

a general store that became
the heart of my hometown,

a place where folks shopped,
gathered and shared news.

[cell phone vibrating]

as we grew, my older sister
and I watched our mother

pour her love into the store
and the community.

She taught us many lessons.

These I cherish the most,

family first,
every neighbor is family,

and every member is responsible
to the whole.

When someone needs helps,
everyone pitches in.

When our mother became ill

and finally let go
of this world,

all of daisy hills suffered.

Recently, as I prepare
to embark on my own adulthood,

I watched my sister
shake off her pain

and embrace change,

revitalizing
the daisy hills store.

As the new store emerges,
I hear my sister's words,

"some folks love what they know

and others know what they love."

if you give yourself permission
and enough space,

you'll discover
which one you are,

hopefully, in enough time
to do something about it,

in time to begin your journey.

From me, I hope you'll swing by
these parts

and visit
the new daisy hills store.

Let us welcome you
to our family's second home

because in daisy hills
everyone's family.

[laptop keys clacking]

hi. This is, uh, jo.

I, I'm calling in regards

to my sister, sofi mason.

Listen, sofi is the best writer

that you have accepted
into your program.

And she has rejected
your acceptance

because of me

and because of my dad
and because of this town.

And you have
to accept her and...

Don't take my word for it.

In fact,

I am going to send

her amazing, incredible,

heart-wrenching story

to your page right now.

And you will see.
Please, please, please read it.

We cannot let this girl
fall through the cracks.

Not for me. Not for anyone.

And I know that when you
read it, you will call me back.

Again, my name is jo mason.

My number is 555-3721.

Thank you.

[exhales sharply]

[ell phone keys clacking]

hi, uh, this is jo mason.

I think I missed a call from...

Iowa university.

Ah, uh, oh, my goodness.

Yeah, uh, t-that was me.

Look, I'm really sorry
about the...

You did?

You do? Really?

Uh, yes, I-I-I meant it.

Uh, yeah, she's here somewhere.

Um, can I get her
to call you back?

Yes. Today, for sure.

Okay, thank you so much.
Okay, bye.

Jo, you shared my story?

Uh, uh, look, I had to.

- It was perfect.
- No.

You don't understand
what you just did!

No, you don't understand, sofi.

I love you,
and I am your sister.

And I think you can do no wrong,
but that is not why I shared it.

Look, you are insanely talented.

And by the time I was done
reading your story,

I was moved to tears,
and I couldn't not share it.

You wanna go to iowa.
You have to go to iowa.

- It's what's best for you.
- Okay, jo, stop, okay?

It wasn't even finished,
it was a work in progress.

And now two million people
have seen my draft!

Wait. Two million people?

You shared my story with the
university of iowa last night.

You didn't private-message them.

You posted it to their page

and it sort of went viral.

That means they liked it.

Yeah, 2.1 million people.

- To be exact.
- Oh, my goodness.

Oh, my goodness.
That explains the phone call.

- What phone call?
- Uh, well, tha...

Where have you been?
I've been calling you all night.

What are you doing here?

Uh, well, I had to come here

because you won't answer
your phone.

Is it broken or...

No, I, I was just ignoring it.

I, I didn't know
what to say to you.

What? Why?

Dad said that you were leaving.

He said what? O-okay,
that doesn't matter, I've t...

No, you know what,
it-it doesn't matter.

The point is, I want you to know

that if you need to go
to new york again,

then that's okay, I just...

I-I couldn't hear your voice,
I'm sorry.

It just,
it made me feel too sad.

Jo, I'm not going to new york.

What?

You made me understand
that that's not what I want.

That's not what I'm missing.

Oh, that was easy.

I was never gonna take the job.

Well, n-not never,
but you made me realize that...

I've already found
my missing piece.

And it's not some new job,
it's you.

And it's always been you.

When I told your dad that I had
to take care of some stuff,

I think he misunderstood, I had
to get my stuff shipped here.

I'm moving to daisy hills.

Well, as long as you'll have me.

[sofi] kiss her already!
Come on!

Oh, wait,
uh, I came here for a reason.

I have to show you guys
something, and we gotta go now.

- What?
- Yeah. Grab your coat.

- Grab your coat, let's go.
- Okay, like, I...

- Come on.
- [jo] why are you...

- Let's go! We'll have more.
- We just had a nice moment an...

[blake] okay, so you shared
sofi's story last night?

[sofi] yeah, we know.
[blake] you did a great job.

By the way, and a lot
of other people think so, too.

Yeah, well, we had a...

- What the...
- Are you?

- [chuckles]
- what?

- Do you see this, sof?
- [blake chuckles]

what in the world is happening?

This is what I've been
trying to tell you.

People have come from all over.

Everyone who read that story
wants to see

daisy hills community,
they want to be part of it.

- This is amazing.
- [duke] jo! Sofi! There you are!

[jo] hey!

People will come here and buy
what the community makes

as long as we keep making it.

That "we" part of the sentence
sounds extra nice.

[duke] it's been like this
all morning.

They just,
they just keep comin'.

Heck, carol sold enough
this morning

to cover
a month's worth of feed.

It's, it's incredible.

And your story
brought them here.

Oh, it was, it was,
it was wonderful, sweetheart.

I didn't, I didn't realize.

I mean, heck, everyone says
they're a good writer.

But you, you're amazing.

That's the power of your word,
sof.

That's why
you need to go to iowa.

Wait a minute, iowa university?

I'm sorry, dad, I applied
just to see if I could get in,

and then I did.
I'm not gonna go.

You should go.

Look around.
I mean, you have the talent.

Just look at what
your writing's already done.

You should go!

What about you? What about dad?

Who is gonna help you run this?

I, uh, I think blake and I
have this under control.

We sure do.

Uh, blake and I
will take care of this place.

Dad will finally retire
and you...

You will be able to do
what's in your heart.

But I can't.

I already sent them a letter
telling them I don't accept.

Well, I, uh, talked to them
this morning

and, uh, they are eager
to ignore the letter.

- And it's clear why.
- You...

Yeah!

Do it, sweetheart.

- [sofi squeals]
- [laughing]

I have to go tell my friends.

- I'm going to iowa!
- [laughing]

well, let's go sell everything
we got.

You'll be done before dinner
though, right?

- I sure will, carol.
- [chuckles]

well, she-she-she asked if she
could cook me up a healthy meal.

And, you know, I gotta
keep watching what I eat.

Oh, yeah.

So, um, you really think
you're gonna stay?

I think I decided that
the moment I saw you

at sofi's party.
