BURT: You just saidthat didn't you.

That reference isabout 50 years out of date,but I'm gonna let it slidebecause I'm a good guy.

NOAH: Well thank youfor your benevolence.

BURT: Look Grandma, wash yourhair another night alright.

Amy's fantastic, she's single,

she just dropped offher daughter at school.

Well then definitely not,

I deal with parentsway too much as it is.

Buddy you gotta date,

You have to date.

Idodate.

BURT: Yeah you do,but you don't date anyone

you could actuallyfall in love with.

Not yet.Not yet, yeah.

For a guy who lovesto plant so much,

you sure don't liketo put down roots.

BURT: I dunno, that my friendis why you are a tumbleweed--

-tumbleweed, I know.

There we go.

Alright Tumbleweed, let's row.

(music)

(music)

AMY: The way shebolted out of the house,

you'd think she wason a track scholarship

and not science.

You were the sameway in college.

I was not!

Yes you were!

Remember I was the oneyou were going off with.

Okay, fine, but I spentplenty of time with my parents.

It'll never be enough.

I mean Connor is five, and I'm

dreading the day hegoes off to college.

AMY: You're thedirector of administration,

like he's going anywhere else.

CHERYL: And just to make sure,I've completely decoratedhis room in navy and orange.

Well, I tried pushingL.A. area schools on Cara,

but one of my best friendsdecided to woo her North.

Well, sorry. We'relucky to have her.

Anyway, I couldwoo her mother too.

I have my degree.

Not as a student; tohelp me with events.

You were always so goodat it back in college.

Don't you already have someone?

We do, and she's due- in two weeks.

Oh.Exactly.I had temp lined up,

but he decides to take apermanent position at tech.

So it's all on you.

These shoulders, right here.

Mmmm.

I mean Burt's been a dear,but it's like my life--

CONNOR: VROOOOOOM!(phone notification)

Slow down!

Hold on.

(music)

TV:--Now that Jeff'sgot everything in place,

Success hangson whether or not

he can get thegenerator started.

(generator starts)JEFF (tv):There I go.

--One species, theSiberian Chipmunk--

(tribal music)

--The tumbleweed dispersalstrategies are unusual among--

Seriously?

--Most speciesdisperse their seeds,

by other mechanisms.

(music)

My darling,

dinner was...

BOTH: FANTASTICO!

(phone notification)

Hey, what's with thephone at the table,

I'm sorry hun, butsomebody's gotta take point

on this Harvest Fest,

and since I can't getlady here to bite,

it's all me.

What is the deal withthis Harvest Fest anyway.

Well that is my cue to getyou into the bathtub Young Man.

NO!YES!!!You're going!

Raaaaar!Say goodnight. Say goodnight.

CONNOR: Goodnight

Careful.Goodnight sweetie.

Well the Harvest Festival isyour basic small-town festival.

And it's supposedto be a fundraiser

for the agriculture department.

Is it?

No, it's been in thered for the last few years.

So the new school president,uh issued an ultimatum:

If it doesn't makemoney this year,

it's not comingback next year.

And why is it failing?

It's boring.

AMY:(chortle) Oh no,CHERYL: Stop it.

AMY: That's the worst.

Our special eventsdirector likes to

focus a littlebit more on sports,

so she seated mostof the responsibility

for the Harvest Festival

to professor Farris, he runsour environmental sciences.

He's an amazing teacher, he'sexcellent with his students,

but let's just say heputs a little more emphasis

on the harvest,and not the festival.

So it's basicallya farmers market.

Yes!

CHERYL: You know I wasonly mostly joking earlier,

it's not such a crazy idea.

Cheryl...

For real, justlisten to me okay?

I remember how good you were

at organizing ourparties back in college.

you made thingsfun and profitable,

and you've run all theevents in Cara's school

since kindergarten.

You my friend are a natural,and I need a natural.

I can't just leave Los Angeles.

Why not? Cara's here.

Why, did youhave a job lined up,

are you goingback to accounting?

No, actually, I don'tknow what I'm gonna do next.

I've just-

I've been a mom for so long.

Well this is perfect then.

Okay.

The Harvest Festivalis six weeks away,

you take this time tofigure out your next step.

Six weeks?!

That's all I need, okay.

And then I canfind someone

to take over forJosey's maternity leave.

Yeah, but I don'teven live in Oregon.

I deal in temporaryhousing all the time,

I know the perfect place.

And what about her independence?

I will keep you too busy,she will have it.

I forgot what a goodnegotiator you are.(chuckle)

Six weeks?

Sixweeks!

Is that a yes?

It's a strong maybe, but I haveto make sure it's okay with Cara

Understood

And I wanna meetthis Professor Ferris.

Done, he's usuallyon the campus farm.

(music)

(music)

(music)

(music)

Um, excuse me?

Excuse me - have youseen Professor Farris.

(music)

At your service.

(music)

(music)

If you're looking forMr. Hugsy, he's not here.

Uh, you're a professor

I am.

You look like a farmer.

Huh.

And what brings you by?

Did Sheryl Morgan talk to you?

I'm assuming it's not helpme plant the broccoli,

which I gotta get goin' onbefore the events planner ge--

You.

Me.

Huh.

I thought you were a mom.

Moms can do two things at once.

It's actually our superpower.

And you're Sheryl's friend huh.

How 'bout that.

And you're here to talk tome about the Harvest Festival.

And see if we can work together.

Well, I'm just gonna do thesame thing I've been doingthe last three years so.

Well, (chuckle)

that might be a-a problem.NOAH: How so?

AMY: Well are you awarethat the Harvest Festivalneeds to make money this year?

How far off are we?

That's a lot worsethan I thought.

You didn't know?

No, no.I mean the budget details,that was never my department.

My job, was to makesure the campus farm

was highlightedin the community,

and in doing so,

the farming community wouldbe highlighted at the festival.

Right, and my job if I take it

is to make sure Iget the people there,and increase the revenue.

And though I'm sure that thetomato crops are riveting...

We need to up our game interms fun and activities.

Emphasis on festival.

It's too cold for tomatoes.

You know what I mean.

Look, Mrs Andolini...Amy.

Local farmers need exposure,they don't need pumpkin games.

Yeah, but pumpkingames sell tickets.

That's givingexposure to the farmers.

Yeah, but there'sonly so many spots.

So for every pizazzyelement that you put in,

a farm gets left out.

Yeah but imagine how left outthey're gonna feel next year

if there is no festival

And the campus farms don'tget the attention they need

for future funding.

Okay, that's a fair point.

Thank you.

But it's not the only point.

I mean if thiswhole event turns into

a bunch of frivolousactivities that are,

vaguely associated toanything Harvest related,

then my departmentdoesn't even need to be

involved to begin with.

You know, that's-that'sa totally fair point,

and I'll keep it in mindif I decide to take the job.

And when are you deciding.

After I talk to my daughter.

(music)

(music)

(music)

(outbound phone ringing)

AMY (phone) :Hey sweetheart.

Hey Mom.

Hey, um.

Have you left yet?

No.

Oh good.

Thought you weregonna leave town

before I got achance to say goodbye.

Oh well, that'snever gonna happen

(chuckle)

Hey can I um,

Can I ask you a favor?

Sure.

Whenever you go back to L.A.

do you mindsending me some jackets?

Jackets?

Yeah, like a lot of them.

It's already in the 60's here.

This weather's been a total--

Surprise.

Your mom's been busy.

Oh my gosh.

Well, just while Iwas waiting for you.

Is that lemon grass?

MADY: You mom boughtus a diffuser.

Well just a, with a littleselection of essential oils

so you girls can relaxafter a hard day of studying.

Mom, thank you!

Wait, it's getting kinda late,

you're not thinking ofdriving home right now are you?

Well, that's an interestingstory I wanna run by you.

CARA: So you would be here...

at my school...

AMY: For six weeks.

I am fully awarethat you did not plan

to bring your motherto college with you.

No...

Look don't get me wrong,

like, I love hangingout with you, I really do.

It's just--You're eighteen.

And you need your independence.

Yes!

You know yourgrandmother used to joke

that she was going tocome to college with me--

And, she was joking, I think...

But I knew how important itwas for me to be on my own,

and I would neverwant to do anything

to get in the wayof that for you.

So I can explain to Cheryl,

No wait.

Do you want to take the job.

I do.

Well then you should take it.

Really? ...I'm--

It is just sixweeks though right?

Yes, 'til Harvest Fest is over.

Yeah.

I-I promise.

Okay.

(music)

(music)

(music)

(music)

(music)

(music)

(music)

(music)

NOAH: I like whatyou've done with the place.

Well well well.

I almost didn't recognizeyou in a sportcoat.

Hmm.

With elbow patchesand everything.

That makes methe cool professor.

So I guess your daughtergave you permission to stay.

Well, we have an understanding.

I'm gonna stay untilHarvest Fest is over,

and then I'm gonna goback to Los Angeles.

Hmm, and do what?

I mean, are youan event planner,

or are you a baker?

Mmm.

I'm well, ...I was.

Well, I guess I still am,an accountant.

I do a lot of school events.

Ah.

I mean, notprofessionally.

Okay.But I-I can do this one.

Alright.

So, uh the first thing to do

when holding an event like thisis to determine your resources.

So I read throughthe last three years

of the Harvest Festival files,

and we have ourwork cut out for us.

How so?

Well, one of the reasonsthat the Harvest Fest

has been so barebonesis that the same sponsors

have alwaysgiven the same amount.

At least we're consistent.

Yes, but we need more.

We need more vendors,we need more sponsors,

or the people that are giving,need to give more.

Because we need the resources

to expand the fun activitiesthat attract the attendees,

Like... Like pumpkin games.

We do not need pumpkin games.

What do you haveagainst pumpkin games?

They are wasteful.

They're fun.

Someone takes the time to plantthe seed, in fertile soil,

they water it, theywait like 3-4 monthsfor something to grow,

only to have someone elsethrow the fruits of their labor

against the wall, or acrossthe field, or whatever. No.

(music)

I see.

See what.

(sigh)

(music)

You've never actuallyplayed Harvest Festival games,

have you?

Of course not,they're ridiculous.

Uh huh.

Professor Noah Ferris, Ihave a question for you.

What are you doingthis Saturday afternoon?

(music)

Pumpkin. Bowling.

(chuckle) It's fun!

Look, there's not exactlya dearth of these things,

so you can sorta dialdown the pumpkin guilt.Hmm.

Okay.

(whispers) I'm sorry about this.

(music)

(music)

Eeh...Well, I thinkthat's a gutterball.

Yeah.Well, I mean, it's not easy. So.

(music)

Alright,

YES!Yeah! Good job Elliot. Yeah

Wait, did I just getout-bowled by a toddler.

Yes, I think you did.

Huh.Thanks.

You wanna...Yeah, no please.

(music)

(cheering)What?!

Nice form.

Thanks.

Really?Yeah.

Huh. Okay.

(chuckle)I see how it is.

(whisper) I got this,I got this.

Trying a little differenttechnique here.

Oh okay.

Mhm.

(music)

C'mon.

(chuckles)

Yeah.

ELLIIOT: Hold itwhere the stem is.

Okay, thank you.

I appreciate that, bud.

(music)

Pretty sure that kid's got afuture in professional bowling.

(chuckle)

I told you it was fun, you justhave to get the hang of it.

I gotta be honest, I...had a really good time.

But see, this is the draw I'mtalking about for the festival.

You make it so funthat people don't even feellike they're at a fundraiser.

It's a good trick.

Oh my gosh, I worked on millionsof carnivals, and festivals,

and fundraisers whileCara was growing up.

Especially aftermy husband passed.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Oh, thank you.

I uh, just threw myself intodoing as much as possible.

Probably a lotmore than Cara liked.

Oh I don't know, I'm sure sheappreciated having you there.

So, what aboutyou Professor Ferris?

Where did you grow up.

Believe it or not, Brooklyn.

Brooklyn!?

But you don't have an accent.

When you go to Stanford,you lose youraccent pretty quickly.

And how did youend up at Stanford?

Bowling scholarship.

(laugh) Bowling.

Rowingscholarship.

I was gonna um,major in finance,

and then in my freshmen year,

a buddy of mine took mefor a hike in Yosemite

and I just... I mean I justfell in love with nature

right then and there.

And yeah...

No more concrete jungle for me.

It's like itfreed me up entirely

and just startedtraveling like crazy,

and exploring all the things

that I missed out on growing up.

Hmm. And why'dyou stop traveling?

Well, if you ask Burtand Cheryl, I haven't.

Mmmm.

They kinda call me Tumbleweed.

Because I tend to changeschools every few years.

So I take it you're uh,not in the tenure track.

Mmm, no. Not so much.

Although watching Burt stay put

and seeing what he'sgot with Cheryl and Connor

and their life together...

It's really nice.

Yeah, so that means it's abouttime for you to go a new school?(phone notification)

Oh you know what,I got a meeting I gotta get to,so I'm sorry.

You know what, I knowit's not your specialty,

but do you mind goingover the sponsor list with me,

it might help me with um.

You know, before Ido any formal outreach.

Yeah, um, I have Wednesdayafternoon available.

Oh that's great, that's great.

Okay,

alright.See you soon.

Uh yeah, I'll see you thenin-uh-Amy, Harvest Festival.

Pumpkin bowling rematch.

It's on.

Well, you betterpractice Professor.

Amy!

Hey.Hey!

What are you doing here?I thought we were meetingtomorrow to go over everything.

We are, I'm justtrying to figure out

where the best placeto put the stage is.

What stage?

Um, for the band.

What band?

Ohh, I have been likescoping the area for options,

of which there aredisappointingly few.

And I've narrowed itdown to uh, Molly Sheep

and Mercury In Retrograde,

they're both cover bands mostly.

Leaning towardsMercury In Retrograde,

thought I'm a little worried

that their namemay portend disaster.

What, I'm sorry, uhh...

Why do we need a band?

Uh, music... you...

you know there'sgonna be music, right?

Yeah, I just thoughtwe would be playing it

over the stereolike we usually do.

Yeah, but not ifyou're having dancing.

Wait, you wannahave dancing in my barn?

One, I'm pretty sureit belongs to the school,

unless there's somethingyou're not telling me.

And two, it's thebest space available.

What, there isno space available.

Take a look aroundit's full of equipment.

We can move all the equipment.

(music)

No, I mean, I got acedar spreader over there,

I've got a tractor with a loader

and a landscape rake,and some corn, a water tank.

I've got lots of stuff.I mean do you even knowwhat a plot forge harvester is?

Is it bigger than a breadbox?

Yeah, it's a littlebigger than a breadbox.

So where are wegonna put all this?

Well, baseball season's over,

so maybe we can parksome of the bigger stuff

out on the field for a few days,

and the rest of it wecan just put up there.

Good luck getting CoachStuart to agree to that.

Oh he will... watch.

Do you really needall of this stuff.

You really don't knowanything about farming do you?

Well if you mean like,driving by on the freeway.

No, that's not what I mean.

No, then no.

So how are you gonnathrow a Harvest Festival

when you actually don'tknow anything about harvesting?

Well I've neverbeen to the North Pole,

and I've thrown some prettylegendary Christmas parties.

Thank you very much.

Well, before youget too confident,

I think a little turnaroundwould be fair play here.

What do you mean?Well you wanted to showme all the finer points

of thefestivalpartof what we're doing...

Yes.Yeah, well I think it'sonly fair that I show you

the harvest partof the equation.

(music)

(music)

(music)

I thought you were gonnatake me to see farming.

Oh this all part of farming.

This is the middle-part,

and here's the star of thefarmers market right here.

Hi!Hi Sammy's hereevery week aren't you.

How you doin'Aw, so cute.

Yeah, most of the vendorsat the farmers market,

they follow the 80-20 rule,

which means, 80 percentof what they sell,

is grown locally,

and 20 percent isbrought in from elsewhere.

And...

I mean there's not gonnabe a quiz or anything.

No I'm just taking-uh namesfor possible sponsors you know.

Ah, well, I thinkmaybe some of these guys

might be a littletoo small for sponsors.

CARA: Mom?

What are you--Hey!AMY: Hey!

Hey guys.

MADDY: Hey Mrs. Andolini,Professor Ferris.

Hey Girls, whatare you both doing here?

My Grandfather has an orchard,

and I help out sometimes.

CARA: And I'm justhelping Maddy out today.

Don't worry, Ipromise both you guys

I'm caught upwith all my courses.

Yeah, that's a good thing'cause one of your professors

just might have apop quiz coming up.

CARA: Oh good.NOAH: Just so you know.

AMY: Your Grandfather is...

Yeah Edward Seaton,

yeah one of our sponsors.

Ok, I knew, I knew the name.

I was actually gonnareach out to him aboutupping his sponsorship.

Well is he at the orchardtoday by any chance?

Every Saturday.

NOAH: Okay perfect.This is great.

Now, you get tosee some farming.

Yay.NOAH: Good to see you guys.

AMY: Bye.MADDY: Goodbye,CARA: See ya.

(music)

(music)

(music)

NOAH: Planting.

It's the more importantstep in the whole process.

You have to make sure thatyou plant in the Fall,

because apples needa period of dormancy,

so they can completetheir ripening process.

Oh I can relate.

Oh yeah?Mmm.

Well, maybe it'stime for you to grow.

See what I did there?

Yes I see.(chuckle)

Okay, you plant the seeds,

Just about a half inch intothe soil, about like that.

I'll give you the seeds,so you can do the honors,

just sprinkle them in there.

Perfect, yeah.

Just like that.

And now we just cover it up;

just throw some dirt on there.

Loosely, we don'twanna pack it down.

And then we just...

We just wait.And when do we getto see something.

Well, by the Spring,there'll be a row ofsaplings all along here.

Nice.

It would be great iflife that was that easy.

You plant some seeds,you water it,

and wait for it to grow.

Hmm, well it's notgonna be that easy,

I mean only a small fractionof these will grow into trees.

It will takeyears of cultivation

before they start bearing fruit.

And, I realize I'm brimmingwith analogy right now,

but it's true.

I mean, some things justtake time before they're ready.

Yeah.

So you wanna see the next stage?

Yep.

Okay.

So I still need to talkto Edward about sponsorship.

Yeah, we can check inwith him on the way out.

I'm guessing that you'venever picked apples before.

Well, I have at the market,

I mean, don't you justreach up and pick... one?

Well, don't tell Edward...

Hah, no you're safe.

But there is a little techniquewhere you get a bit more apple,

and a little bit less branch.

Here's the thing.

So the apples onthe outer branches,

They ripen first,those are the ones

that you reallywant to go for

Okay.And the you gottahandle them gently.

Like you're handling eggs.

Eggs.

Yeah, you do!

So you don't breakor buise the skin.

It's real simple,you just grab it,

and twist it one way like that.

Like so.

Ah.

Oh well, that was easy.

It's supposed to be.

If it doesn't come off easily,then they're not ready.

Oh, that's another analogy.

Like low-lying fruit!

(laughing)

(music)

(music)

(music)

(music)

You know we neverdid finish that story.

Which one?Whether you're nearing yourtime to move on from here.

Oh, yeah, right.

So are you moving on?

Possibly.

I'm up for a position atthe University of Sydney.

Oh Australia, wow.

Yeah, I should be hearingfrom them soon actually.

Such a distance, and wellsuch a great opportunity.

Yeah, I-I me-mean, I'veworked in Melbourne before.

And um, and Ireally like it there.

Well, good luck with that.

Thank you.

(sigh)

You know I think Igot the hang of this.

You do! Butthere's one lesson left.

Really, what is it?

It's actually themost important step.

(music)

(laughs)

Wow, that's really good.

AMY: Now that we'vepicked a tonne of apples,

what do we do with them?

We donate them.

To who?To a shelter.

So that they can store themand use them for the holidays.

Agriculture in action.

We just need a-um....

I'll be right back.

Well you gotyourself quite a haul.

Oh uh, Noah's beengiving me some pointersabout Harvest Fest.

Oh, which by the way,

Ah! Honey Crisp.

Yes, I actually use thosewhen I make baked apples.

Baked apples are my favorite.

They are?

Haven't had one in a long time.

Why not?

My uh, my wifeused to make them.

Ah, I see,

And I don't know if I'm readyto make them myself y'know?

Actually, I do.

You know when I lost my husband,

it felt like foreverbefore I was comfortable

with things going backto the way they were.

And especially happy things.

Like baked apples.

How did you deal with it?

Time.

And I probably threwmyself into my daughter's life

much more than I care to admit.

But it does get better.

Well, sorry for umfor getting sentimental.

Listen, myGranddaughter said that

you wanted to speakto me about something?

Ah, well, actually, Ijust wanted to tell you

what a beautifulorchard you have here.

Well, thank you.

Nice seeing you.You too.

So, how'd it go with Edward?

Um you know, I justdon't think now's the time.

Oh.Yeah.

Oh hey, I have an idea,

Mom's Kitchen, thatis honey and pear.

and this one is myfavorite, Fall Spice,

it has cinnamon cloves,and nutmeg.

Oh it sounds amazing.Yeah.

My name's Chloé, let meknow if you need anything.

Oh you know what actually,

um would you mind puttingup one of these flyers,

we're trying toget the word out.

Harvest Festival,at the college?

Yeah, you haven'theard about it?

Kinda new around here,

but it sounds awesome, thanks.

Enjoy your cider.Thank you.Thank you.

You ready?Yes.

Okay, how about this.

Smells good.

(gasp) You know what?What?

We should have them do a booth.

Do you always work 24/7?!

Yeah, when I can.

Well look, rightback at you Professor.

you're doing everything I am,and two jobs.

Barely notice that anymore.

Always on the go?

Hooo. Yes, I guess so, I am.

Why would a man like you whoteaches agriculture in action,

refuse to putroots down himself.

I don't refuse,I just I haven'tfound a good reason to...

...yet.Hmmm.

Okay.

CHERYL: You havedone a fantastic jobgetting the word out.

AMY: Well, it isn't just me,

I mean Noah's been doing agreat job of promoting it.

Oh so you two are getting along?

How well are you getting along?

Wha-what do you mean?

Well, I have eyes, andhe's not exactly hard on them,

and you are blushing.

Okay, spill.

No-I mean-uh-uh-there'snothing to spill.

Those rosy cheekssay otherwise.

I mean nothing's happened.

Do you want it to?

I mean, I wouldn'tfind it objectionable.

Which from you it's likeshouting from the rooftops.

I mean hardly,I-it's been so long sinceI've even had a little crush.

YES!

Alright, scale back the parade,okay!

It's a little crush,a tiny one.

And I'm not even surehow I feel about this.

Well, I'm happy.

Ever since Joe, you'veput all you're focus on Cara,

which, I get,

but part of me wants to say

'hey what aboutmy amazing friend?'.

Thank you.

But you know what, I meannothing is going to come of it.

Why not?

Because I live in Los Angeles,

and he's getting ready to move,like... to another planet.

That's geography.

Yeah, but geography's a greathindrance to a relationship.

I mean not that it's usingthe word relationship...

Safer subject, howis the festival going?

Well, I got Noah toagree to pumpkin games.

Yeah, that'spractically a miracle.

Yes, and I know he's loveto have more farm booths,

but I can't seem towork it out in our budgets.

Would an extra $5,000 help?

(chuckle) Last minutesponsor upgrade.

Seaton Orchards.

I didn't even get a chanceto give him my sales pitch.

(chuckle) well,whatever you did worked.

Is that going to be enoughfor everything we need.

Yes, including the corn maze.

You got Noah toagree to a corn maze?

Well no, I haven'tdiscussed it with him yet,

but I mean who wouldobject to a corn maze.

Absolutely not.

Corn mazes are huge draws.

It's one thing to move someequipment out of the barn,

it is another to do thi--No!I'm not doing it.

My students worked so hardplanting all this corn,

I'm gonna destroy itfor a one-day festival

You're not goingto be destroying it.

You'd just beharvesting you know,

small sections a littleearlier than the rest,

in an intricate pattern.

That is not how corn mazes work.

They paths are all laidout before the planting.

yeah, but thoseare the big ones,

we're just talking a few acres.

You know, super simple.

Making a corn maze atthis stage of the game

is not 'super simple'.

And can you guarantee me allthe corn will be harvestable?

Well no.Well then no.

But you're being stubborn.

I'm being a professor.

You're being ashortsighted professor.

Oh I'm being shortsighted?

Yes.How?

You're protecting afew sections of corn,

at the expense ofthe overall festival.

Which is happening in two weeks.

And let me remind you, ifit's not successful this year,

it's not happening next year.

I am aware of that.

Believe me, I wantthis festival to succeed.

Look, we may lose some corn now,

but mazes and games, andmusic are the key to success.

But what am I going tobe teaching my students?

To think long term.

(music)

NOAH: Gimme threemore of these guys.

BURT: Yep.

Yeah, perfect.

Hey, I uh, heard backfrom Sydney by the way.

Looks promising.

Well I can't sayI won't miss you.

But if that'swhere you want to be.

Is it?

Not sure actually.

What do you mean?

It's uh, somethingthat Amy said.

Amy huh?

Well it was when shewas trying to convince me

to ruin part of thecornfield, she uh,

she kinda implied thatI don't think long term.

Mhmm.She totally has a point.

What, how?!

Well, when I firstmet you at Stanford,

you had just been bittenby the travel bug, right?

And you traveledall over the world.

But you always said thatyou wanted to settle down.

Eventually.

Except you haven't.

I want do.

You want to.Do you?

Do you really want to?

Yeah.Mhm.

I do, I mean.

When it's right.When it's right.

(sigh)

Well, I guess I worryit's become kind of a habit,

you moving from place to place.

Realistically you neverstick around long enough

to figure out ifit could be right.

Okay, ready for next step.

Maybe.

Oh hey!

Oh gosh, I gave Cara astink about getting sick,

and then I get the cold.

Oh, well, whatare you doing for it?

It's fine, it's just a cold,

I'll uh, I'll get through it,

why are you calling?

To... see where you'llbe in a couple hours.

I'll be on the sofa, sneezing.

(sneezes)

Oof.

Why?

(doorbell)

Chicken soup.

My mother's recipe.

You made me chicken soup?

Vegetables straightfrom the garden.

Wow, nobody's done somethingthis nice for me in a long time.

I figured that you're alwaystaking care of everybody else,

so it's time that somebodytakes care of you.

Oh okay.

No no, you gotta go sit.

And I'll bring you a bowl.

Okay.Yeah, go on.

(music)

(music)

Thank you.

(music)

(music)

This is amazing.

Good.

It's all the fresh ingredients.

Oh I probably look awful.

Not even remotely.

So uh, the other reasonI wanted to come by,

I wanted to apologize forbeing a little difficult

about the corn maze.

Oh it's okay.

Um, it was a big ask.

Well, not an impossible one.

All we gotta do isget a little creative.

I can definitely handle that.

Thank you.

Okay.

Well I should probablylet you get some rest,

I mean the big event isless than ten days away.

You need to get healthy.

Okay.

No-no-no-no, youstay right there.

I want you to stay there.

I'll lock thedoor on my way out.

You get nice and comfy.

Cold? Mom, whydidn't you tell me?!

Well, I-Because I've beenbusy with the festival,

Aww, thank you.

You're welcome.

How you doing, you okay?

I got an offer on my house.

Oh, I didn't even knowyou were selling your house.

Well, I'm not,it's just a spec offer

from a very ambitious Realtor.

Oh. Well, was it atleast a good offer?

It's easily the bestoffer I could have imagined.

Nice!

Well...Or not nice?

I mean if I wereselling it would be, but...

I'm not.

Oh. I see...So you're definitelygoing back to Los Angles

after all this is over?

My life is there,

and I've livedthere so long I...

BURT: I'm totally slowing down

(laughing)

NOAH: Hey, did I tell youwe got a replacement act,

and I think she's gonna be evenbetter than the original band.

Really?

Getting pretty good atthis whole event thing.

Next year you're gonnabe running the show.

Yeah, about that um...

The University ofSydney came through.

Congratulations,Thanks.

Gonna miss you though buddy.

I think Cheryl will too.

I think she was hopingto keep you arounda little longer maybe.

Get Amy to convince you.

Yeah...

Amy's not gonnabe around either.

Well, how'd it go last night?

It was uh...

It was amazing.

It was the bestnight that I've had in...

in as long as I can remember.

What's brought youdown to Earth buddy?

Amy.

Huh. I sense a theme.

Yeah.Well uh, she's notready to move on;

start a lifeoutside of Los Angeles.

Well I'm sorryto hear that buddy.

I was hoping Amy would giveyou reason to sick around.

Yeah.

Well...

Not this time.

(music)

Chloé has signedher contract already,

and Maria's Bakery has agreedto be our final food vendor.

I'll make sure Josie orwhoever her temp replacement is

has all the contact info,

so that they can useit for the spring events.

Great, but it won't be Josie,

because herhusband's in the military,

and got transferred to Oklahoma.

You know you couldmake this very easy on me.

I can't.

I made a promise to Cara thatI would go back to Los Angeles

when the festival was over.

Well you two are so close,I'm sure she'd understand.

But this, it's time forher to make her own way.

You know, without me underfoot.

If Noah was staying,would you reconsider?

Is he leaving for sure?

Burt called earlier,
