♪ You can call on me... ♪

[EMMA]
Hey, on the count of three, say "lobster."

One, two, three.

Lobster.

♪ I will, I will be there... ♪

Aw, but that made me hungry.
We are in Maine.

- Wanna get some lobster?
- Sounds good to me.

There is supposed to be a place
around here that's really good.

- I knew you would know.
- On the next block, yes.

- Great.
- Let's go.

This is our first get-together
since Italy.

We can't count that as a get-together.
It was Emma's wedding.

That was still a get-together.
There just wasn't any antiquing.

- I made up for that this time.
- No kidding. We did good. But...

[GROANS]

But it's not as good as San Francisco?
Is that what you're about to say?

Because we found the veil
in San Francisco?

Well, you know...

I know
you both feel connection to the veil.

You think it brought you together
with your significant others.

But Finn and I were together
before we found the veil.

Speaking of Finn, you haven't
mentioned him much this weekend.

Is everything okay?

Yeah, yeah, everything's fine.

In fact, he has a job audition
for the Los Angeles Symphony.

Oh, that's a detail you managed to skip.

[SIGHS] I don't like thinking about it.

What happens if he gets this job?

- He's hoping I'll move there with him.
- What are you hoping?

I want him gets the job.
I mean, it's what he wants.

- It's what he deserves.
- Yeah.

But moving to Los Angeles
is not exactly what I want.

Well, if ever there was
a quintessential New Yorker, it's you.

And what would the Yankees do without me?

I worry about that.

I'm just saying,

since you are the one
to have the veil next,

and you never know what might happen,

you might wanna
make sure it's ready, just in case.

- Your faith in the veil is...
- Inspiring?

I was gonna say scary.

- Can we go with sweet?
- Thank you.

I think she's right.
You should just get it fixed.

It had that little snag in it
when I gave it to you.

- All right, I'll take it in.
- Okay.

But it's not like
I'll need it any time soon.

Yes, that is exactly what I said,
right before I met Paolo.

Oh, look, lobster.

Of course.

[UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING]

[HORNS HONKING]

- Leland, good morning.
- Ah, good morning. How was your weekend?

Wonderful.

On the last day,

I found the most incredible
19th-century map of Manhattan.

Impressive.

I think you'll be impressed
with a document that's coming in tomorrow.

What is it?

It's a surprise, but I will say,

it means a lot to me,
as I suspect it will for you too.

I'm dying of suspense,
wondering what it is.

I'm sure you have
more pressing things to get on with.

I'm still working
on the guest list for the party.

- It's hard to narrow down.
- I leave it in your capable hands.

Thank you.

[PENSIVE MUSIC PLAYING]

- Good morning.
- Morning.

- What do we have here?
- Uh-huh.

Beautiful.

- Aren't they?
- Yes, spectacular.

They'll be at the auction.
They're not expensive.

Tempting as that sounds,

I spent the weekend
antiquing with Avery and Emma.

So you're brown-bagging it all week?

- Afraid so.
- Huh.

Oh, I almost forgot.
They just dropped off the invitations.

- Fantastic. Yeah, I need to get those out.
- Yeah.

It looks so nice.

- Yeah, they're nice, right?
- Great.

You bringing Finn?

If he's in town.

I guess that's a fifty-fifty proposition.

Always is.

[PENSIVE MUSIC CONTINUES]

[MUSIC FADES]

I'm sorry.
I know this is all a bit rushed.

And you have to get to the airport.

I have a little time before my flight.

We should probably talk
about this whole L.A. thing in person.

It did happen all of a sudden, didn't it?

It did.

But if I get this job,
I wouldn't have to move into your place,

and whatever place we find in L.A.,
that would be ours.

You know, this place was hard to find.

Ten blocks from my job,
two blocks from the park.

Think of it this way.

If I get the job, we won't have
to suffer through another New York winter.

- Suffer?
- Yeah.

Please, it's not that bad.
And I like the snow.

A little sunshine would be nice.

But I still have to audition.
This is the L.A. Symphony.

This is principal trumpet.
There is gonna be a lot of competition.

They would be lucky to have you.

Thanks.

Would I still have you, though?

I know I'm asking you to give up a lot.

[WISTFUL PENSIVE MUSIC PLAYING]

And you're asking me
to live in all that sunshine.

- [LAUGHS]
- Just think how I'd get burned.

Come on, you look great in red.

There is the possibility
that I won't even get the job, so...

Oh, come on.

You're gonna get it.

You're that good.

We'll find out in a couple of days.

Yeah.

And we should talk about it
some other time, when we have more time.

I mean, you have to go.

I hate how
you're always late to the airport.

I should get going.

[SIGHS]

Okay.

Good luck.

I really mean it.

I know you do.

Okay, bye.

Knock them dead.

- All right. [CLICKS TONGUE]
- [LAUGHS]

[STANLEY WHISTLES]

- Hey, Stanley.
- Hey.

Did the appraisal come in
on the George Washington letter?

You're on the money as usual.

I've worked for Leland for ten years.
I should be good at this by now.

After a few more years,
you'll be the new Leland.

Whoa, easy on the promotion there.
I'm happy where I am.

I won't be happy if you move to L.A.

- Aw, because you'd miss me?
- Yeah. No, but I'd miss the drama.

- You're very entertaining.
- Whoa.

- [CELL PHONE BUZZING]
- I'll take that as a compliment.

It's Finn. The audition must be over.

- Are you gonna answer it or...?
- I...

- [GROANS] Okay.
- Yeah, yeah, go.

Okay.

Finn, hi. How'd it go?

[FINN] Better than I could have imagined.

They offered me the job.

- Wow, that's incredible.
- [WISTFUL PENSIVE MUSIC PLAYING]

Yeah, I keep pinching myself,
but, I mean, this seems to be real.

I'm gonna spend an extra couple of days
here with my family before I head back.

They're so excited.

Of course they are. They must be thrilled.

Send them my best.

I'm really happy for you. Congratulations.

Thanks.

[SIGHS] There's good news and bad news.

- He got the job.
- Is that the good news or the bad news?

I don't know.

[MUSIC FADES]

My family is so excited
about having me local again.

- I'm sure.
- My brother took me house-hunting.

I know this all happened really fast.

But you understand
I had to take this opportunity, right?

Yes, of course, I understand.

But you have to understand you're not
the only one who loves their job, right?

Well...

There are auction houses in Los Angeles.

They're not the Metropolitan.

I love New York.

It's who I am.

Yeah.

I would never wanna change that.

Okay, so, what are we saying?

Um...

Maybe this is more than just geography.

Maybe it's about who we both are.

What we want.

[WISTFUL MUSIC PLAYING]

And that maybe we want...

different things.

Yeah, I think so.

Yeah.

Look, I know I have
some things here, uh...

I was just getting used to
having them around.

The only thing
I'll miss about New York is you.

I'm gonna miss you too.

[SIGHS, THEN CLEARS THROAT]

Hey, come here. Come on.

Come here.

[MUSIC FADES]

[CELL PHONE RINGING]

- Hi, Avery.
- [AVERY] I did some research.

I found the perfect guy
to repair the veil.

He's a master tailor, and he's Italian.

He only sees people by appointment.
I did manage to get you one.

You're not gonna need that appointment.
Finn and I broke up.

What?

We should get Emma on the phone.

No, we can't. She's teaching.

Tracy, what happened?

He got the job in L.A.
and I wasn't willing to uproot my life.

I'm sorry.

Yeah, it's okay.

I'm surprised, I mean,
especially since you have the veil.

I don't wanna
burst your bubble about that veil,

but I hung it up in my closet,
and then my relationship ended.

Maybe Finn wasn't your soul mate.

I don't think we have to go there.

- Do you mind still getting the veil fixed?
- Yeah, just in case.

See? Right. Hang on to it, just in case.

Avery, I'm kidding.

I'm not. Your appointment is Wednesday,
9 a.m. I'll text you the address.

Got it.

[UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING]

Hi, Stanley, please let Leland know
that I'm running a bit behind.

Yeah, I have one stop to make,
and then I'll be on my way in. Thanks.

- I see you're a Giants fan, huh?
- Oh, yeah, forever.

- You're not?
- Not really.

You like the Jets?

I do.

Zach Wilson has a great future
with them as a quarterback.

Maybe, but the Jets aren't the Giants.
Never will be.

- Yeah, exactly.
- [DOOR OPENS AND BELL JINGLES]

Come on, Luigi.
You'll still pin my pants, right?

Oh, excuse me.

Hi. Sorry. I'm Tracy Goodwyn.
I'm the 9:00 appointment.

I'm so sorry that I'm late.
The subway broke down at Lex.

I had to run
all the way across to 5th and 53rd.

I grabbed it there. I almost missed it.
But I didn't, so here I am.

Sorry, this gentleman
was early for his appointment,

- I'm afraid you'll have to wait.
- [WHIMSICAL MUSIC PLAYING]

Hey, I'm the 9:30.

I'm only 17 minutes late
for my appointment.

He's 15 minutes early.
He's had three minutes of my time already.

We'll split the difference.

It'll only take me two minutes
to explain what I need done.

You lost me.

The Giants are gonna lose
to the Jets this year.

The Jets will never beat them.
The Giants are just a better team.

We can agree to disagree on that.

Tell us, what do you think?

I'm with you. Giants all the way.

Your pants will have to wait.

I see how it is.

What have you brought for me?

Oh, uh, this is a wedding veil
that has a snag in it.

[ENCHANTING MUSIC PLAYING]

It's right, uh, there.

The workmanship is exquisite.

Gotta be Italian.

Right, from Burano. Late 19th century.

A piece this beautiful must have been
in your family for a very long time.

Unfortunately not my family.
It belonged to the Contessa de Marco.

She wore it
in a portrait by Claudio Amici.

That's quite a pedigree.

Sounds made up to me.

Did you just say
that I made up that story?

Not necessarily.
Maybe somebody else did along the way.

Actually, this veil
has a very storied history.

If you say so.

- [TELEPHONE RINGING]
- Excuse me.

It is a very beautiful veil.

I'm glad you approve.

Nice tux.

Thank you.

So when's the wedding?

Oh, there's not a wedding.

- Yet you have a veil.
- It's not mine.

Well, I mean,
I guess a third of it is mine, sort of.

- Oh, uh, what, this third?
- No, the third that doesn't believe in it.

See, there's, like,
a legend about the veil that it...

[SCOFFS] Oh.

Never mind. [CLEARS THROAT]
When is your wedding?

I'm not getting married.

Yet you're in a tuxedo.

[SIGHS] I am the best man.

If you say so.

I can have this
ready for you next Tuesday.

Great. Thank you so much.

I left my pins back there.
Be right with you.

[SPEAKS IN ITALIAN]

[TRACY] Also...

Go, Dolphins.

Dolph... Luigi, Dolphins, come on.

I can't believe it.

Oliver's father was a client and friend.
He brought us a very special document.

A piece I inherited from him.
But unlike my father, I'm not a collector.

This is Emma Lazarus'
handwritten first draft...

of "The New Colossus."

[EXHALES SHARPLY]

I knew there was an earlier draft.

Never thought
it would come up for auction.

Give me your tired
Your poor

Your huddled masses
Yearning to breathe free

We see it on the Statue of Liberty,
but to see it in her own hand...

The poem made such a profound effect
on so many immigrant families,

my own included.

- We'll send you a contract this afternoon.
- Sounds good.

- Pleasure to meet you.
- Thank you both.

Leland, a lot of collectors
will be interested in that.

Especially Carter Wainwright.

He's been looking for
a piece of Americana just like that.

My fear is he'll stick it in a vault,
no one will ever see it.

That is exactly what he'll do.

But you know what? I could
probably reach out to some museums.

Maybe get someone to agree
to pay the appraisal price.

I'm not sure Oliver would agree.

But I have your permission
to ask him, right?

- Ah...
- I'll take that as a yes.

[SIGHS]

Go ahead. Go ahead.

Oh, Mr. Wykoff.

Sorry, Mr. Wykoff, just one second.

Is there a problem?

- I have a proposal for you.
- Okay.

So... [SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY]

[ITALIAN MUSIC PLAYING OVER SPEAKERS]

- Here you go.
- Thank you, honey.

- How was the wedding?
- Oh, it was amazing.

I've never seen Bobby look so happy.

- No.
- Did it give you any ideas?

About the new restaurant?

That's not what I mean.

I know that's not what you mean,
which is why I'm not answering.

Thank you for helping
with the dinner prep.

Turns out we didn't need to.
Carly's got everything under control.

It may seem like that now,
but once Nick opens his new restaurant,

I may need to call on you and Nonna a lot.

I agree with Mom.

- You'll do just fine.
- But you might need us.

I'm still not convinced your idea

of mixing Italian
and Asian food together is gonna work.

It's called fusion, Nonna. Fusion.

All I know is
it's not authentically Italian.

[NONNA LAUGHS]

Okay, it may not be traditional,

but it is awfully good.

Oh, you hear that? You hear that?

- [SPEAKS IN ITALIAN AND LAUGHS]
- [SPEAKS IN ITALIAN] Oh...

[GENTLE MUSIC PLAYING]

[TRACY] Mom, lunch is here.

So how are you doing?

Oh, you know.

[SMOOTH JAZZ MUSIC PLAYING OVER SPEAKERS]

I miss Finn.

Yeah.

But, um, well, I'm happy
that I'm still a New Yorker,

and I don't have to get on an airplane
to share lunch with my mother.

Aw.

And Zabar's pastrami
would be hard to replace.

A hundred percent.

You know, honey,
when your dad and I got divorced,

it took me a while to get my bearings.

Mom, you were married for 15 years.

- Yeah.
- Finn and I were together for two.

If you count all his touring, we were only
together for a year and a half.

That's my longest relationship.

All relationships
have their complications.

But you can't let our divorce
influence your relationship.

That's not what I'm doing.

[SCOFFS]

[SARAH CLEARS THROAT]

Is this all new?

They're by a new artist
I'm featuring from Taos.

- I really like it.
- Yeah.

Now, getting back to you,
have you thought about what's next?

I have the party coming up
that I'm planning.

I have to get the auction together.

I have to find a museum
willing to buy the Lazarus poem.

I'm busy.

Well, just make sure
you leave some time for yourself.

I have decided to buy
one of those mini trampolines.

[LAUGHS] Okay.

Stanley says
they're great for destressing,

and highly recommended for high-stress,
high-achieving, busy New Yorkers.

Sounds like it's right up your alley.

[SARAH CHUCKLES]

I get the pickle.

You take it.

The Lazarus poem would be perfect
for your special collections.

I know museums
have been struggling for funding,

and to have an important and special,
timely piece like this could really...

No, of course, I understand.

Well, I appreciate your time.

Oh, no.
This is gonna be harder than I thought.

- I have good news, bad news.
- Hit me.

The bad news is the caterers
we wanted for the party bowed out.

For those keeping score, we can't count
on caterers or trumpet players.

Correct, but the good news is...

I have a solution.

[LILTING MUSIC PLAYING]

Twirl.

- Get your coat.
- Okay.

- Oh, my phone.
- Phone. Grab your phone. Coat. Adventure.

[ITALIAN MUSIC PLAYING OVER SPEAKERS]

- Everything is so delicious.
- Only problem, how do we narrow it down?

I don't know.
This was as good as the carbonara.

Which was as good as the risotto.

- How do we choose?
- I don't know.

Save room for dessert.
I hear the cannolis are incredible.

We have to get
these people to cater the party.

I knew you'd say that.
So I asked to talk to the owner.

- What if I hadn't liked the food?
- I hadn't gotten there.

The food is fantastic.

- [WHIMSICAL MUSIC PLAYING]
- You know, I knew you were...

- Tuxedo.
- Wedding veil.

- Huh.
- Is this some sort of code?

You're the owner?

I am. The owner and chef. Nick Serchio.

- Tracy Goodwyn.
- And I'm Stanley.

I'm guessing by this greeting,
you two have already met.

Yes, we have.

Yeah, very briefly.

[TRACY] Mm-hm.

I understand you wanted to see me?

Yeah, but that was before
I knew you were you.

Now that we got that out of the way,
uh, what did you wanna see me about?

About the food.

I... We wanted to compliment you

on how delicious all of this food is.

- It's very good.
- Thank you.

We want to see if you could cater a party
at our auction house...

- [FOOT THUDS]
- ...[GROANS] on the 17th.

- [NICK] Catering, the 17th. Uh...
- Yeah.

Well, I would have
to check with my sister.

Um, I work with her, so I'll go do that.

[STANLEY] Okay, yeah, check with her.

In the meantime,
we should probably order dessert.

Okay. I'll send somebody over.

- Thank you.
- Fantastic. I hear the cannolis...

- What's going on with you?
- Nothing. Nothing at all.

I just realized this place is so busy,
they probably won't be able to fit us in.

Let's hope they will.

- [NICK] I'm not doing that job.
- What is wrong with you?

What are you talking about? Nothing.

She feels like
she'd be a very difficult client.

You've had difficult clients before.

Just think of the exposure
a party like this would give us,

especially since we are about
to open a new restaurant.

You're just like Mom.

What's with the wedding veil
and tuxedo thing?

- It's a long story.
- How long?

- Not that kind of time.
- All right.

[WHIMSICAL MUSIC PLAYING]

So looks like
I will be available to cater.

Oh.

Great.

Good. Yeah, fantastic.

Why am I the only one who's excited?

[SIGHS]

- [TRACY] Okay.
- I'll get the door.

- Thank you.
- You're welcome.

We've gotten so many RSVPs,
and I just sent out the invitations.

Our little party's turning out
to be quite the social event.

Yeah. I have to talk to the florist,
confirm with the valet.

Oh, I have to get some extra displays.

I have to get those earrings
to the catalog

before it goes to the printer.

- The sapphire earrings I like?
- Yeah.

What's the provenance?
I feel I've seen them before.

No provenance. Estate jewelry.

- I'm gonna go to the printers now.
- What? No, you can't go anywhere.

We have an appointment with the caterer.

- Right. Can't you go without me?
- No.

- You can have some alone time with Tuxedo.
- I don't want alone time.

He'll be hard to work with.
I don't need the stress.

The trampoline would help.
Did it come yet?

- Yes.
- And?

I haven't taken it out of the box.

So the way it works is
you take it out of the box, and then...

Okay, so say hi to Tuxedo for me.

[SIGHS]

- Ah.
- [CARLY LAUGHS]

Swivel or no swivel?

How much does it cost?

This new catering gig
will pay for the swivel stools.

One way of looking at it.

This party is exactly what we need.

The auction house
is on the Upper West Side.

Exactly the clientele we want to attract.

You're right.

I'll focus on what's important:
The food, and getting the restaurant open.

And choosing the right bar stools.

[LAUGHS]

- You're having way too much fun.
- Yep.

Fine. The swivel.

- Yes.
- Just because you're making me dizzy.

Right? Cool.

Usually we don't make a big deal
out of auction previews,

but we're combining it
with our 25th anniversary.

Twenty-five, wow.
But you haven't been there that long?

No, I've been there ten years.
I started off as an assistant.

Now I am
the Director of Books and Documents.

Ooh, Director of Books and Documents.
That is a fancy title.

It is not fancy.

And I didn't make it up.

Ah, touché. Uh, I owe you an apology.
I was a bit out of line the other day.

Thank you.

Me too.

Nah.

- [CELL PHONE CHIMES]
- Oh, excuse me. Sorry.

Okay,
so the Morgan Library turned me down.

How do you get turned down by a library?
Too many overdue books?

No, I'm trying to have
a historical document placed in a museum.

Which one? I'm a big history buff.

It's an early draft
of a poem by Emma Lazarus.

The one on the Statue of Liberty?

Give me your tired
Your poor

Your huddled masses

- That one?
- Wow, okay, I underestimated you.

- Good for you.
- [LAUGHS]

No, I know it because
my grandmother immigrated here

from Italy when she was a child,

The Statue of Liberty
is one of the very first things she saw.

It's one of the most important days
of her entire life.

Stories like that make me realize just how
important this is that I'm trying to do.

You want stories?
Phew, Nonna's got some stories.

[BOTH CHUCKLE]

- Let's focus on the menu.
- Okay.

I'm throwing a couple new things at you.

I'm opening a restaurant
called Tesoro Mio.

And it's an Asian-Italian fusion.

That's really interesting and different.

Something I strive for.

Yeah, me too.

So check this out.

- [NICK] Huh?
- Oh, it's fantastic.

- Oh!
- Yeah, look at that.

So? What do you think?

It's a very nice sign.

I thought so. It's a good start.
Let's go inside, I'll show you the rest.

Okay, now, you gotta use your imagination.

Wait until you see the kitchen.
It does everything but make the sauce.

[NONNA] When we started Da Nonna,

my mother and I had
to make sauce in a tiny little apartment.

Ma. I think the place is very nice.

I think Nick is on to something here.

He got a lot of very important investors

based on his menu and his cooking.

Huh? What do you think?

We were just saying
how impressed we are, honey.

Oh, thanks, Ma.

And proud. Of both of you.

Are you sure you will be finished
with everything by the opening?

Yeah, we've got a month.

Right? We need artwork for the walls.

We got family photos you could have.

Well, that's very sweet, Nonna,

but we're going for
a different vibe than Da Nonna.

But I'll keep it in mind, huh? Grazie.

Espresso?

[TRACY] Leland, I have some good news.

I called every museum I could think of,
with no luck.

But I just had a meeting
with the New York History Museum.

They want to make the Lazarus poem
part of their permanent exhibit.

That is wonderful news, Tracy.
Congratulations.

There is a catch.

They can only afford
half the purchase price.

You have to find someone
who can cover the other half,

and is also willing to donate it.

It's only half the money.

Unfortunately,
doesn't make it half as easy.

Indeed.

Well, back to work.

You can do it.

Yeah, of course. No, I understand.
But thank you for your time.

[WHIMSICAL MUSIC PLAYING]

- What's wrong?
- I'm just about through my donor list.

I haven't found anyone.

I'm getting nowhere.
I am running out of time.

Want to come out with me,
have a drink, cry?

I don't have time to cry.
I'm not giving up.

Maybe I'll just jump on my trampoline.

You took it out of the box?

Desperate times
call for desperate measures.

Okay, well, I'll be out. Happy jumping.

I'll be at the restaurant.

[SIGHS]

[MUSIC FADES]

- Hello.
- It's Nick Serchio from Da Nonna's.

Yeah, hi. I...

I know who you are.

Is everything okay?
You sound like you're out of breath.

[COUGHS]

No, I was just a little up and down.

I was jumping on a trampoline. That's all.

- I didn't know the circus was in town.
- I didn't know chefs were funny.

- We have our moments. Thanks.
- Mm-hm.

Little kitchen humor?

You don't have auction house humor?

No, no, no. All that art and antiquity?

It's very serious. Sacred, in fact.

Sorry. I didn't know.

Stanley is the funny one.

The, uh, sidekick?
The guy I met at the restaurant with you?

I'm Abbott to his Costello.

Hey. Who's on first?

What's on second?

- I didn't know you'd know that routine.
- I'm surprised you do.

People aren't who you think.

I think you're still the chef
that's gonna be catering our party.

I am. That's why I called.

I've narrowed it down to a few recipes
I want you to try.

- When?
- How's Thursday morning?

Yeah, that, uh...
Yeah, that should be fine for me.

You're not bouncing
on a trampoline that morning?

Well, if I am, it's, uh, you know,
uh, just to build up an appetite.

- All right, I'll see you then.
- Great.

[EARPHONE BEEPS]

And here we have a little
shiitake mushroom and umami ravioli.

Wow.

Smells good.

It's one of my favorites.

I noticed all the memorabilia you have.

You weren't kidding when you said
you're a major New York history buff.

Yeah. It started when Nonna gave me
a replica of the Statue of Liberty.

Aw.

- Well?
- Wow.

Wow. [LAUGHS]

If all your food tastes like this,

I'll never get a reservation
at Tesoro Mio.

I may know somebody
that knows somebody that can get you in.

My sister, Carly. Carly, Tracy.

- Hi.
- Hi.

Nice to meet you.

Same here.
We're very excited to cater your event.

If the food is this good,
the crowd is gonna be really happy.

I'm glad you're enjoying Nick's new menu,
but I should get these into the kitchen.

- Lovely to meet you.
- See you.

Carly's the eldest of my three sisters.

Where are the other two?
Locked in the kitchen?

Yes, and we threw away the key.

No, uh, they're in Italy, actually.

Giuliana is doing some research
for a new cookbook.

Monica is on a farm,
learning to make her own olive oil.

Wow. You have quite a family.

Yeah, I got lucky in that department.

How about you?

Oh, I'm an only child,

and my parents are divorced,

and, uh, I had a breakup myself recently.

I'm sorry to hear that. Uh, divorce?

No, no, we never made it down the aisle.

But you still have the wedding veil.

Only by default.

- Wasn't there some legend attached to it?
- It's silly.

The legend is, whoever has
possession of the veil will fall in love.

That's not silly. That's totally legit.

Totally, yeah.
Yeah, for sure. Totally legit.

Um...

Why don't we have some dessert?

- What's this called again?
- Sfogliatella.

- How do you say it?
- Sfogliatella.

Sfogliatella. I can't put it all together.

I like it. I just can't say it.

- We need this on the menu too.
- Done.

- And cannolis.
- Cannolis are on every menu.

Perfect. I love it.

Doesn't look so hard.

- Wanna try filling one?
- Seems easy.

Grab that chocolate.
By the top. Otherwise it all comes out.

- You don't want that.
- All right, and...

- Oh!
- Whoa! [LAUGHS]

Sorry, I didn't mean to...

Not so much filling. Let's get that off.

- Can I taste it first?
- Yes.

Mmm!

- That's good, right?
- That is really good. Mmm. So delicious.

- A lot of chocolate. Sorry.
- Okay, so...

We got the cannolis, got the sfogliatella.

Um, everything else good with the menu?

I think the menu's perfect.

I'm happy to check that off my to-do list.

[AUSPICIOUS MUSIC PLAYING]

Yeah.

Um...

I have to get going.

Going to work?

No, I took the morning off from work.

I'm buying a new rug, maybe even
a new coffee table, and some new art.

- Ooh, redecorating?
- Didn't start out that way.

But then with the breakup,
I guess I just wanted something new.

Is that this building
that we're in right now?

This is the very first day
Da Nonna's was opened.

- Wow.
- That's my great-great grandmother,

great-grandfather in the hat.

- Look at that hat.
- [BOTH CHUCKLE]

And that's my grandmother, Gia.

The one who gave you
the miniature Statue of Liberty?

- That's the one.
- That's really cool.

Uh...

Are you still looking
for a buyer for the poem?

I haven't found anyone yet.

It dawned on me earlier
that one of the investors in Tesoro Mio

is also a very big collector.

- Really?
- Mm-hm.

Do you think he might be interested?

Yeah, we can call him and find out.

Let me help you.

Thank you.
You would be willing to call him for me?

Of course. To save a very important piece
of New York history?

I can't promise anything.

No, of course not.
I'm not expecting anything, but thank you.

If you need help
lugging stuff around, I got an SUV.

I could help you.

[UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING]

- Okay.
- Oh.

- What floor are we on?
- Uh...

The top floor. I mean...

[LAUGHS] There's an elevator.

I wouldn't do that to you.
You taught me to make cannolis.

I thought I was in for a workout.

- Where do you want this thing?
- Right here in the middle.

All right.

Oh, nice place.

Thanks. I like it.

- One, two, three.
- Yeah.

Perfect. Can I get you something to drink?

Water would be great.

Perfect.

[NICK] Um...

- So are you collecting rugs?
- No, why?

Because you got 50 of them over here.

That.

Well...

Sometimes you think
something's gonna work,

and then it doesn't,
and you have to just move on.

We still talking about rugs?

No, now we're talking about my ex.

Finn was going to
move in with me and, um...

So we started shopping
for stuff for my place.

You know, for both of us.

And he picked out this rug.

And I gave in.

At least we know
you're willing to compromise.

Ha. Right, just not all the way to L.A.

- That's where he moved.
- I don't know you well.

But I can't see you
breaking up with New York.

[WHIMSICAL MUSIC PLAYING]

Hey, this is great. I love this artwork.

- From my mom's art gallery.
- Your mom has an art gallery?

Mm-hm.

I happen to be looking
for artwork for Tesoro Mio.

Unless she's charging Warhol prices,
and then... [CLICKS TONGUE]

I know someone who knows someone
who might be able to get you a deal.

Sounds interesting. And cryptic.

What's the verdict?

Just doesn't work, does it?

- Yeah, two thumbs down.
- How's it getting back downstairs, though?

[STANLEY] Oh, good afternoon.

Wait, didn't you get my text,
saying I wasn't coming in until later?

I did.
What, were you just up late working?

Yeah, I was, um, just going over
all the paperwork for the party.

Making sure that the vendors
had their contracts and everything.

Mm... everything's set.

Is that the catalog?

- It is.
- How does it look?

- Terrific.
- [GASPS]

I noticed at the back
that you put a thank-you

to Tesoro Mio there.

Of course I did.

They're catering the party,
and they need the publicity.

- Wow, that's awfully nice of you.
- I'm a nice person.

[LILTING MUSIC PLAYING]

- Most of the time.
- Just making an observation.

Sounds more like an exaggeration to me.

Don't get me wrong. I like Tuxedo.

He's charming, he cooks,
he can keep up with you.

What does that mean? You keep up with me.

All I'm saying is that Finn,
you know, he was nice, really talented.

But he was always a few steps behind you.

You need somebody
who's more of a speed-walker, like Tuxedo.

First of all, Tuxedo is just... Nick.

- Nick.
- Nick.

Nick.

Nick is just
a business acquaintance, okay?

- He's...
- [CELL PHONE BUZZING]

It's him.

Probably calling about business stuff.

Hello?

I've got good news.
My investor is willing to meet with you.

Really? Wow.

He's got a house out on Long Island.

- He wanted us to come by on Sunday.
- Perfect.

Why don't I pick you up around,
I don't know, 9?

Nine. Okay, great.

Oh, thank you so much.

These look great.

Tuxedo found a potential buyer
for the poem.

Just a business acquaintance, huh?

He's just a stand-up guy.

Nick. Nick is just a stand-up guy.

Would you stop getting ideas? Please.

No, no. I can't help it. It's in my DNA.

I'll try to have no ideas.

Oh, look, me not having any ideas
about you and Tuxedo,

walking down a beach.

I need my own office.

Seriously, I can't live like this.

Nick.

Whoa! [GRUNTING]

Okay.

- [WHIMSICAL MUSIC PLAYING]
- [VIDEO CHAT CHIMING]

Oh!

- Hello.
- Hey.

Just checking in on you.

Don't worry.

It's been three weeks,
and I am still standing.

What are you doing?

Why do I see paint cans behind you?

I'm making some changes.
Out with the old, in with the new.

Maybe something blue.

You didn't get rid of that cute table you
bought on our Vermont weekend, did you?

Wasn't it next to your couch?

Yes. Good memory. It was there.
But now I put it in the bedroom.

You're making some changes too.

Yes. Yeah, I, uh...
I'm just getting started on the packing.

Paolo and I are moving
to our new place soon.

Aw. Well, I can't wait to see it.

- [CHIMES]
- Is that what time it is?

I have to go, I'm so sorry.
Nick is picking me up.

- We're gonna go meet Bruce.
- Who's Nick?

I don't have time to explain.
Okay, coat, scarf.

[EMMA]
I just got off the phone with Tracy.

How is she doing?

She's redecorating.

- [WHIMSICAL MUSIC PLAYING]
- Oh, no. Do you remember her last breakup?

I know. I even saw paint cans
in her living room.

I hope we can get there before she
paints her walls a color she'll regret.

What's your schedule like this week?

[CHUCKLING]

[GENTLE MUSIC PLAYING]

- Good morning.
- Good morning.

- So slight change of plans.
- Oh.

Don't worry.
We're still gonna go meet Bruce.

We're just not going to his house.

Oh, okay. Well, that sounds fine, right?

- Yeah.
- Okay. Thank you.

Ooh. What's this?

- A little surprise for the road.
- Okay.

- Some cannolis.
- [GASPS]

Cannolis for breakfast?

I love it.

So we'll take
the 59th Street Bridge to the LIE?

Williamsburg Bridge, cut through Brooklyn.
It'll be faster.

Not on Sunday.

Sorry, sorry, you're driving.

You can if you want to.

No, I'm fine. I'm fine being the copilot.

All right, well, then you are the DJ.

- The DJ?
- The DJ.

- Got it. Pump up the tunes.
- Don't let me down.

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

So just keep in mind,
you'd only pay half the asking price.

The museum will match the other half.

They're looking forward
to displaying the poem full-time.

Bruce, these words meant so much
to so many immigrants,

including my grandmother.

I really admire what you're trying to do,

but I collect to invest,

and I resell when the market's right.

Oh, come on, Bruce.

What about, uh,
considering this a charitable donation?

I've already exceeded
my donations for the year.

I'm very sorry, but I'm a businessman.

- I'm not a philanthropist.
- Of course.

- I'm sure you'll find the right person.
- Do you have someone in mind?

I don't.
You two should definitely keep at it.

You're pretty good together.

[WHIMSICAL MUSIC PLAYING]

I am interested
in this George Washington letter though.

So, uh, maybe your trip out here
wasn't for nothing.

Hey, we knew it was a long shot, right?

Yeah. Long shots are always worth a try.

- I should know.
- Meaning?

My grandmother thinks
my new restaurant is a total long shot.

- What?
- Yeah.

- Why?
- Ah, she's old-school.

She doesn't understand anybody wanting

to blend Italian cooking
with any other cuisine.

"Old-school" doesn't mean
that she might not come around.

- Yeah, right.
- Maybe.

There's old-school,
then there's Italian old-school.

- Got it.
- Yeah.

What made you decide
to go with fusion anyway?

Uh, ex-fiancée.

- Ex?
- Ex.

- I've been there.
- We were together four years.

She's a chef also. Asian cuisine.

And we decided
to blend our lives together.

Uh, we also wanted
to blend our food passions together.

And, boom, Tesoro Mio.

- Well, it does sound delicious.
- Mm-hm.

Yeah, but, uh,
I'm moving on with her blessing.

So things ended well?

Yeah, yeah, especially for her.
She's now married to a Brazilian chef.

And they have two restaurants in Rio.

- Hm. Great.
- Mm-hm.

What about you?

Uh, taking a little break.
You know, focusing on the new restaurant.

[TRACY] Mm-hm.

My best friend, Avery, always says
everything happens for a reason.

- Hm.
- Maybe I'm starting to believe her.

Speaking of, sorry things
didn't work out so well with Bruce.

We gave it our best shot, right?

- That, we did.
- Yeah.

[SARAH] So, Trace,
what's the attire for this party?

[TRACY] The usual.
Upscale New York cocktail party.

Ah.

So in other words, a little black dress.

Or...

- [ENCHANTING MUSIC PLAYING]
- Whoa.

That is your dress.

I don't know. You think?

I don't know. What about this one?
This one's sort of more... I don't know.

- This one was a little more...
- [MUSIC TURNS WHIMSICAL]

- I should try this one.
- I've never seen you so in doubt

about a dress before.

Especially one that
looks like it's made for you.

What's going on?

Nothing. It's because
I'm not sure which one is right.

For what?

Or should I say, for who?

Have you met someone?

Sort of. But I don't know.

Maybe it's something. Or maybe nothing.

Or maybe I'm just not ready
to be in a relationship yet.

It's giving you pause about buying
a new dress, so maybe it is something.

Either way, you have to buy that dress.

Thanks, Mom.

You wanna grab an early dinner?

Oh, I would love to, but Avery and Emma
are coming into town tonight.

- Ah! What's the occasion?
- No occasion.

- They're just being good friends.
- Hm.

- You didn't have to come.
- Yes, we did.

- Given the state of your apartment.
- [AVERY LAUGHS]

I know how it seems, but I'm fine, really.

- We were just a little worried.
- Especially when I saw paint cans.

Reminded me of the time
you painted your apartment purple.

- And...
- Okay, okay, it was lilac.

- It was bad.
- It was.

These paint cans
have a very pretty light green in them.

It'll be great. Since you're here,
maybe you two could help me paint.

If that's what you wanna do,
we'll do that.

- [TRACY] You are the sweetest.
- Avery.

But I love you.

You're the nicest person I know.
Seriously.

Okay, where are we going to dinner?

Oh, I discovered this new Italian place
and I thought we could just check it out.

Well, look who it is.
Huh, you're becoming a regular.

These are my friends, Emma and Avery.

- [BOTH] Hi.
- [NICK] Hi.

The other two-thirds of the veil.
Nice to meet you.

Oh, you know about the veil?

Well, he was at Luigi's
when I took it in to get repaired.

Oh. You didn't tell us that.

This is Nick,

and he is a very talented chef.

- Eh.
- Same Nick who took you to Long Island?

Unfortunately that turned out
to be a bust, but yes.

But I did get to see the Oheka Castle.

One of the architects
who also designed Central Park.

I can't believe you never knew about that.
Tracy knows New York better than I do.

That's my favorite part about the city,
there's always something new to discover.

Always.

Oh, hey, thank you.
I hope you don't mind. I took the liberty.

- She does not mind. Neither do we.
- Thank you.

[LAUGHS]

I could tell you the specials, or you
could just put yourselves in my hands.

Oh, no.
We will put ourselves in your hands.

Okay. All right, perfect.

- I'll be right back.
- I didn't mean it like that.

- We didn't say anything.
- No. What do you...?

[TRACY] Nothing.

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

[AVERY] Oh, thank you.

[SPEAKING IN ITALIAN]

What a find this place is.

I mean, not to mention Nick.

What? I was talking about his cooking.

[SCOFFS] Uh-huh.

[IN ENGLISH] I ordered us dessert.

Yes, I noticed you were,
uh, practicing your Italian.

I'm trying every chance I get.
Paolo's trying to improve his English.

So we're not speaking Italian too much
at home right now.

- When are you going back to Italy?
- Probably the start of spring semester.

It's just not official yet.

Then you'll continue tracing the veil?

- Yes, that's the plan.
- Okay, great.

I'm still wondering
how it got to the States.

- And so am I.
- So is Avery.

♪ Happy birthday to you ♪

♪ Happy birthday to you... ♪

- Why do they think it's my birthday?
- Smile and eat cake.

Guess my Italian's
not as good as I thought.

At least you know
how to order three forks.

♪ To you ♪

Stop it. Thank you.

- Exactly what I ordered. Thank you.
- This is amazing.

Let me cut that in smaller pieces.

- We'll take care of it.
- Thank you.

Thank you, Nick. Everything was wonderful.

[NICK] Glad you enjoyed it.

So if you find yourselves
in New York on the 30th,

we're doing the grand opening
of our new restaurant.

- I'd love for you all to come.
- [AVERY] That's so nice of you.

I think Tracy will probably have
to represent the three of us.

I won't say no to that.

That's good to hear.

Okay, I should get back to the kitchen.
Anything else I can get for you, ladies?

- No.
- Everything was perfect.

It really was.

All right, wonderful.
Nice to meet both of you.

- You too.
- You too.

- What?
- Nothing.

- Nothing.
- Stop looking at me like that.

- Cheesecake's really good.
- Really good.

It is good.

[BOTH CHUCKLE]

I can't believe
Nick wouldn't let us pay for dinner.

He is quite a guy.

- No, do not go all Avery on me.
- Hold on.

It's obvious he likes you.
From what I can tell, he's a keeper.

Definitely a keeper.

- Not you too.
- You have to admit.

This is the veil working its magic.

Really? Are we back to that?

Yes, but the veil can only do so much.
You have to meet it halfway.

I am not asking the veil to do anything.

What we're saying is,
you just really need to think

about what it is that you want.

You know actually what I want now?
Some space.

[WISTFUL MUSIC PLAYING]

So I'm just gonna say goodnight.

Tracy, I didn't...

[WHISTLES]

Wow, she's good with that whistle.

It's a New York thing.

[SIGHS]

You're uncharacteristically quiet.

Tell me what's wrong.

- Nothing.
- Hm?

I had a fight with Avery and Emma.

It's just that
they're so intrusive in my love life.

What love life?

[LAUGHS]

What do you think? This display.

- Oh! Oh, jewelry is beautiful.
- This is it.

Do you think it's a bit, uh, cramped?

- It's too cramped. That was my thought.
- Yeah.

- [STANLEY] There it is.
- [TRACY] We'll just... Yeah.

- Yes.
- So, Tuxedo, six o'clock.

- Don't look now.
- Okay.

Okay, give me a...

You got this. Do this.

No pressure, but pressure's on.
Go, go, go.

- Hi.
- Wow, this is great.

- Welcome.
- Thank you.

You know I'm a native New Yorker,

and this is my first time
at an auction house?

No, actually, I can't even imagine that.

- Can I show you around?
- Absolutely.

- Okay.
- Yeah.

So how'd you get into all this?

I always loved history.

Ever since I was little.
I didn't even wanna go to summer camp.

I just wanted to visit
every historical site in the city.

That sounds so nerdy
when I say it out loud.

No, no, not at all.
Bet you could give one heck of a tour.

Oh, yeah.
All the way from the Bronx to the Bowery.

- [AUSPICIOUS MUSIC PLAYING]
- So, what do you think?

Oh, I mean, it's a lot.

And I think it'd be a great place
to come and work every day.

You know, you got all
of this amazing history coming through.

Oh, there's just so much history,
and beautiful art, and amazing jewelry.

It's...

It's everything.

But you're here to see the kitchen.

- Aren't you?
- Uh, yeah.

- I'll show where you'll set up.
- All right.

You have everything we need,
except for a couple things.

- Which I'll bring from the restaurant.
- I'll make a list.

Perfect. Um...

And I gotta tell you,
seeing all this fantastic art here

has reminded me
that I need to fill up the walls

at my new restaurant.

So if your offer to go see
your mom's gallery is still on the table?

Absolutely.

Professionally speaking, I should
probably see your new restaurant first.

Hm. Yeah, you might
be onto something there.

- [BOTH CHUCKLE]
- Yeah.

Why don't you come by,
uh, today after work?

Sure, I'm free. I would love to.

Okay.

- See you then.
- Okay.

This is a great space.
Have you thought about what kind of art?

Well, I like paintings.

Right. That's a little vague.

All right, uh, paintings of landscapes.

"When you look at them,
you wanna go there" type of landscapes.

Yeah, I know exactly what you mean.

Okay, well, any other thoughts?

No, just nothing
that makes you lose your appetite.

[LAUGHS]

Right. Good call.

Uh, you know art is subjective, right?

I get that. That's why I need your help.

Like, I'm very confident with my calamari,

but I have no idea
what to put on the walls, you know?

Have you thought about
fine art photography?

Yes, and that is a great idea,

but if I put a photo on these walls
that's not of my family,

my grandmother,
she's never gonna let me live it down.

I don't know
how to help you with that, but...

Oh, um, that was just Luigi texting me
to remind me I need to pick up the veil.

- I thought you picked that up.
- No, I haven't had a chance yet.

But it's no rush.

I thought your friends needed it.

They... No, they, uh, are already married.

In fact,
they both wore the veil at their weddings.

- Really?
- Mm-hm.

- Hm.
- Yeah.

You're the only
of your friends that's still single.

Yup.

- But I'm not complaining about it.
- I totally get it.

I'm not complaining about being the only
one of my friends that's still single.

But if you ask my nonna and my mother...

Whoo.

I should just pick up the veil,
and stop making a thing out of it.

Hey, Avery. Can you hold on a second?

So I can get Emma on too? Great.

[TENDER MUSIC PLAYING]

- Hi.
- [TRACY] Okay.

Now that you're both here,
I, um, wanna apologize.

We're sorry too.

Yeah, we realized
we came on a little strong about Nick.

And the veil.

We just want you to find the right person.

Whoever it is.

[SIGHS] I can't stand it when we fight.

Wait, I don't remember us
ever being in a big blowout fight before.

That's not true.
Remember when we were studying for finals

and we accused the others
of eating the last chocolate chip cookie?

Yeah, because you did.

I totally forgot about that.

In our defense,
we were super sleep-deprived.

So tired.

So...

Are we good?

Oh, you don't even have to ask.
Of course we're good.

I love you, girls.

All right.

Avery, you first.

Tell me about your day.

- Oh, that's interesting.
- It is.

A bit intense.

Oh, well, clearly you
haven't tried my spicy ramen arrabiata.

Ooh, I love that.

For the restaurant?

No, for my apartment.
It's gonna go perfect with my new rug.

Which one? As I recall,
you have quite the collection.

I'll narrow it down, okay?

Uh-huh.

Find anything you like?

Uh, I don't think so. Sorry.

Oh, don't be sorry.
I've got new pieces coming in a few days.

- Hm.
- If you'd like to come back.

Let me check with my designer.

Would you like to come back?

I think we can make that work.

You don't mind being stuck with me again?

You're not so bad to be stuck with.

Do you hear that?

[UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING]

[SMOOTH JAZZ MUSIC PLAYING OVER SPEAKERS]

- May I have a moment?
- Yes, yes, of course, Leland.

Um...

Tracy, I know how hard
you've worked on the party.

And I just wanted to say thank you
for making it so special.

Well, I'm honored.

I mean,
Metropolitan is like a second home to me,

so I really wanted
this party to be perfect.

The place
wouldn't be the same without you.

- Am I going somewhere?
- Not if I can help it.

- Are you going somewhere?
- Well, I have to retire eventually.

And was hoping
I could leave it in capable hands.

Maybe those hands might be yours.

[EXHALES SHARPLY]

Shall we go rejoin our guests?

Whoa! Good news, bad news?

- Good news.
- Good news is you look fantastic.

- Love the dress.
- Thank you.

There's no bad news.

You okay handling things
on your own for a while?

- Yeah, take as long as you want.
- Great.

Got your eyes on something special?

Oh, I'm just appreciating the earrings.

- Which? These blue ones?
- Mm-hm. They're sapphires.

- Just something about them.
- Wow, those are beautiful.

Uh...

- Have you heard the big buzz of the party?
- No.

Everyone raving about your food.

- What?
- Mm-hm.

Wow, that is, uh, music to my ears.

I have to thank you,

because this party
is really important to me.

Of course. Of course.

And it was a pleasure to,
you know, watch you,

get a glimpse into your world,
so thank you.

Have you had a chance
to see the Lazarus poem?

- I haven't.
- Can you come see now?

- Are you kidding? Absolutely.
- Okay.

Oh!

- Look at that. That is special.
- Yeah.

To see this poem
in her actual handwriting?

- I know.
- Wow.

Now I understand
why you've been fighting hard.

And mostly failing.

But that's okay. I am not giving up.
I am not throwing in the towel.

[NICK] Hm...

Who is that guy?

[TRACY] Carter Wainwright.

He has a vast collection

of incredibly important
historical artifacts

and keeps them all locked in a vault.

[NICK] Mm.

I hate the idea of a guy like that
getting his hands on the poem.

It deserves to be seen
by the immigrants that it was written for.

Nick, that's it.

You just gave me a great idea.

So remember
in our conversation at the party,

you said how much
that poem meant to immigrants.

- Right?
- Yeah.

I should find someone
who it means something to.

You know, someone who lived it.

Yeah, someone who immigrated
to the U.S. themselves.

Yes, exactly.
So I researched all day and all night.

And I finally found the perfect person.

Ranghion Narula.

- The tech guy?
- Exactly.

He came from nothing,
and he went the distance. He...

You got...? Yeah, I'm not doing anything.

Yeah, he is an incredibly inspiring
rags-to-riches story.

And he lives in Manhattan.

- No way. You called him?
- It's Sunday, so his office is closed.

I e-mailed him
and all five of his assistants.

Oh, there you go.

Thank you.

[PENSIVE MUSIC PLAYING]

This is it. This is the one.

You sure?

Yes, I am sure.
It's perfect. It fits right in.

I guess you do have to try a few out
before you find the right one.

Are you still talking about rugs?

- Uh... maybe. Maybe not.
- [MUSIC TURNS AUSPICIOUS]

Okay, I'm still talking about rugs,
so don't confuse me.

Well, I guess you'll figure it out.

Eventually.

- What?
- Nothing.

- Morning, sunshine. What's going on?
- You tell me.

- What?
- Got a call from Ranghion Narula's office.

What's that all about?

[HOPEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]

[ELEVATOR CHIMES]

Ms. Goodwyn?

Oh, yes.

Hi, I'm ready.

I'm so sorry, Mr. Narula
has to reschedule your appointment.

He was called away on urgent business.
Perhaps next month?

No, uh, next month is too late.

Apologies.

[POIGNANT MUSIC PLAYING]

[CELL PHONE RINGING]

- Hi.
- How'd it go with Narula?

Oh, uh...

He had to go out of town.

He can't reschedule the meeting
until after the auction.

Oh, that's a problem. I'm sorry.

But, hey, you pushed
to get one meeting with him.

Chances are you can get another
before the auction.

Yeah, yeah, but pushy Tracy
is a little tired of being so pushy.

Sounds like you need cheering up.
And I could use a break.

I thought you never slow down.

Juggling two restaurants,
even temporarily,

it's a lot more difficult than I thought.

- So this is a no-work night.
- Mm-hm.

No talking about food or auctions.

Those are strict rules.
We'll find out if our jobs define us.

We could talk about
how your redecorating is going.

Or your rug collecting.

[LAUGHS]

Okay, that whole situation
is winding down.

- Okay?
- Mm-hm.

Figure out another subject to discuss.

Oh, I know. How about places
in New York we haven't visited?

I bet you've never seen
the last piece of the Ziegfeld Theatre.

- What? Where has that been hiding?
- It's a secret. I'm not telling you.

- I'll show it to you if you wanna go.
- Okay.

Or we can get another piece of pizza.

- [UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING]
- Ooh. Uh...

- I don't know. This is really good pizza.
- Mm-hm.

- But I wanna go see the theater.
- [GROANS]

All right, fine.

Okay, so I think we ended in a tie, right?

Because we both stuck
to the rules the whole time.

But you almost blew it
when you first saw that Ziegfeld statue.

- You weren't supposed to notice that.
- I notice everything.

Well, I can't help it.

Now that it's over, I have to tell you.
Ooh, that statue would kill at auction.

Should we go back and get it?

Thank you for such a nice evening.
I had a great time.

Yeah, me too.

Uh, let me know
if you need more rugs carried up.

I think I'm good. That one's a keeper.

Mm-hm. Yeah, we'll see about that.

- Good night.
- Good night.

Hey, how are you?

I think I'm in love.

Tracy, that's wonderful.

It's the perfect fit.

So hard to find.

Tell me about it. I searched high and low.

That's what it takes sometimes.

I'm just so glad the search is over,

and that I got such a bargain.

Nick?

No, I'm talking about my new rug.

I thought you were talking about Nick.

You can't ask me to choose
between Nick and my new rug.

Okay, what about you and Nick?

I haven't decided about that yet.

You're interested, right?

Yes.

That's something.

- I'm just not sure what yet.
- [CELL PHONE BUZZES]

- Oh. I have to get back to the office.
- All right.

- I'll talk to you soon.
- Love you.

- She's in love with her rug?
- [EMMA] Yeah.

But your instincts were right.
She's been spending more time with Nick.

That's the veil working its magic.

I wouldn't mention that to Tracy.

Oh, right, no. Of course not.

- I cannot wait to see her in that veil.
- I know.

But I wouldn't mention that either.

Of course not. Okay, bye.

It's definitely a piece
of Broadway history.

I'll have to check out
this Ziegfeld statue for myself.

- I have more photos. Scroll back.
- Okay. Oh, yeah.

Oh.

- That's from Avery's wedding.
- Oh, that's a cute picture.

- We took that at the Stanbridge Museum.
- This infamous painting.

- [CELL PHONE CHIMES]
- Oh!

- Tuxedo. Let me text him back.
- No.

- Do not text him. Give it to me.
- Um... no?

- He just asked me to lunch.
- That's fun. Where?

I don't know. I'm gonna let him decide.

- I'll just ask him where.
- Yeah, that's cool.

Uh, "I raise you, your move." Yeah?

What about Sarabas?

Go somewhere new.

Okay, yeah. That's what he wrote back.

- He said "somewhere new"?
- Yes.

Picking up what you're putting down.
Let's go.

You two are in sync.

[NICK] We do this every month.

It was my nonna's idea.
She loves giving back, so...

Oh, I like her even more.

- Hey.
- Welcome to our little family tradition.

This is awesome. I'd love to help out.

You don't have to.

I want to.
I bussed tables when I was in college.

- I can get four plates on one arm.
- That's a lot.

Mama. Sorry to interrupt.

This is Isabella. Tracy.

- Hi.
- It's a pleasure to meet you.

- Nice to meet you.
- This is my nonna, Gia.

I've heard so much about you.

And I heard about you.

Nick says you're trying
to put the poem Emma Lazarus wrote

in a museum for everyone to see.

I am hoping to make that happen.

Tracy wants to help out.
She wants to help serve.

I'll get you an apron.

Oh, thank you.

- Don't make me laugh.
- You can use your other hand.

- No. A point of pride.
- All right.

[TRACY] Don't. Don't say anything.

- [WHIMSICAL MUSIC PLAYING]
- She's not Italian.

Oh, hi. Here I come.

Okay. That's for you.

And that's for you, sir.

Yeah, but, Ma, she seems to really like
one particular Italian we both love, so...

Nice.

Thank you. Best tip I ever got.

And he looks very happy.

And that's all that really matters, right?

Yeah.

You know, Nick, I wanna say thank you
for including me here today.

I had a great time.

I had a great time
watching you juggle all those plates.

Yeah, good to know
I have a skill I can fall back on.

I'm sure you got more than one.

I know it's not like
being a professional chef,

but I was a short-order cook.

- Seriously?
- Yeah, seriously.

- Why are you looking so surprised?
- You're full of surprises.

Come over for dinner tonight.
I'd like to prove it to you.

Huh. I do have the night off.

You sure? Most people
are afraid to have a chef over for dinner.

Afraid their cooking won't measure up.

Well, I'm not afraid.

I like a challenge.

Game on.

[HOPEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

Come on in, Nick. Door's open.

I wasn't sure what you were cooking,
so I brought a little rosso e bianco.

Thank you so much. Perfect.

Mmm. Smells good.
It's not Italian, but it smells good.

I thought we'd have something different.
Went with an American classic.

Sloppy joes.

- Sloppy joes?
- Comfort food.

That's why I didn't recognize it.

- You've had it before, right?
- No, I have not.

- How is that even possible?
- I'm Italian.

You know, we do the meatball sub.

You need to know, I survived
on this recipe when I was in college,

- Yeah?
- So...

I like to think that I perfected it.

[SOFT JAZZ MUSIC PLAYING OVER SPEAKERS]

[NICK] Hm.

Mmm.

Very good.

- Mmm!
- But it needs something?

What? No, no, no.

I am the guest tonight, you are the cook.
Whatever you think.

Right, but you're a professional chef.
You would know.

I can take it. I can handle the truth.

Okay, maybe it could use a little cumin.

Cumin? Okay, cumin.

Uh...

- Garlic powder...
- You've got a lot of seasonings.

Let me check... I'm gonna reach over here.

[TENDER MUSIC PLAYING]

- Okay, what's...? Oh!
- [YELPS]

There we go.

- Yeah, you found it.
- I found it.

You mind? May I?

No, uh, please. Here, go ahead.

Okay.

[MUSIC TURNS CHEERFUL]

Mix this up a little.
See that wrist movement?

- There's a flair to it.
- It's a cooking flair.

Bring your taste buds over here.

I don't wanna get this
on your pretty dress.

- So careful.
- Okay.

- Hm?
- That's amazing.

Oh, my gosh. It's so much better.

- You'd think I do this for a living.
- Yeah. Well, dinner is ready.

Sometimes it's just the simplest things
that surprise you.

- Yeah.
- Mm-hm. Okay.

I will set the table.

Oh, oh, oh.

Thank you.
Yeah, you can just move my stuff anywhere.

Are you researching Narula?

I wanna get to him

without having
to wait for another meeting.

Just been doing a lot of research on him.

I even found out
what neighborhood he's from in Queens

and where
he eats breakfast there every Sunday.

Wow.

So which wine should I open?
The red or the white with this?

Good question. We're doing sloppy joes,
so, uh, maybe I have a better option.

- Beer?
- Beer.

Are you reading my mind?

[CHUCKLES]

Great minds think alike.

Cheers.

I said I could this alone,

but I'm really glad
you insisted on coming with me.

- We're in this together.
- Yeah.

I figured you might be
a little bit nervous.

No.

I mean, yeah, a little.

Okay.

Oh, this is it.

There he is. He's in that back booth.

Oh, yeah. Okay. Uh...

You got this, okay?

Don't forget to breathe.
[INHALES, THEN EXHALES]

- Let's go.
- Okay.

Oh. Here goes nothing.

Go get them, tiger.

Mr. Narula?

- Yes?
- I am Tracy Goodwyn.

I work at the Metropolitan Auction House.

We were meant to have a meeting last week.
You were unable to attend.

I'm really sorry for intruding like this.
It's not the kind of thing I usually do.

I usually eat my breakfast alone,
without interruptions.

I know. Yeah, I read that.

I'm sorry about this,
but I really need a moment of your time.

My eggs are getting cold.

Of course. Right, sorry.

That's the third time you're apologizing.
Are you done?

Apologizing?
Yes, actually. Pretty sure I am.

Then let me apologize to you
for canceling our meeting.

Please, sit down,

so I can at least
eat my food while it's still warm.

Great.

Okay.

Yes.

[HOPEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]

- Well?
- Yeah, I think it went really well.

He said that he wasn't sure yet,
but he told me to write up a proposal.

- He'll show it to his lawyers.
- Sounds like a yes.

I did express urgency to him,
that the auction's only a few days away.

You just write up a proposal, right?

Only the best proposal of my entire life.

You got this.

Let's go back to Da Nonna.
I'll cook you breakfast.

- You write this amazing proposal.
- No, I probably...

Well, there gonna be cannolis?

Of course, cannolis.
Yes, you earned it. Come on.

Okay. Just one.

- [NICK] Yes. Maybe five.
- Okay.

- This one is great. Thanks.
- What was that?

Oh. Those are the sapphire earrings.
Someone put a pre-emptive offer on them.

- I never got to try them on.
- Yeah. Okay.

- Go over the checklist?
- Yeah.

Only thing left to do
is tag the auction items.

Okay, but don't tag the Lazarus poem yet.

- Still nothing from Narula?
- No.

But I think it's just him and his lawyers
going over all the paperwork.

It's complicated.

It's not just a purchase.
It's a purchase, and then a donation.

Right.

Okay, well, should we go to lunch?

I have to work through. I'm leaving early
to meet Nick at my mom's gallery.

You two are becoming a regular thing.
Should I be jealous?

Of course not.
You'll always be my work husband.

- Mwah!
- I'll take it.

The new paintings I wanna show you,
right over here.

Ah! Fantastic.

More of what we were looking for.

- Good.
- Reminds me of Verona.

That's where my grandmother was born.

- That makes sense. The painter's Italian.
- [NICK] Hm.

I don't think it's quite
what we're looking for, for Tesoro Mio.

- What do you think?
- Probably not.

Okay.

Let me see. What else do we have?

This speaks to me.
Reminds me of that day down by the water.

- [GENTLE MUSIC PLAYING]
- Yeah.

I know what you mean.

The day we were at the water
was very cold.

Maybe it was cold this day too.

The artist decided
to paint blue skies instead of clouds.

- I hadn't realized you were an optimist.
- It's one of my better qualities.

You have a few.

I see you found one you like.

It's called Cielo Blu.

Hm. "Blue sky." Weird.

[BOTH CHUCKLE]

The artist is Italian.

So is the guy buying it.

Sold.

You did good.
In fact, the whole restaurant looks good.

Oh, well, thanks to you.
You had a lot to do with it.

I'm not just talking about
picking out the barstools.

It'll be so weird running my own kitchen
when you move over here.

We're both gonna be just fine.

Where did you find it?

That? From the Sarah Goodwyn Gallery.

As in, Tracy Goodwyn?

Yes, that's her mother.

Then I wouldn't say I'm the only one
around here who's been helpful.

Huh.

Have you asked her out yet,
on a real date?

Yeah, does pizza count?

Yeah, if you're in college.

- Thank you, oh, wise sage.
- [CHUCKLES]

- [CLASSICAL MUSIC PLAYING OVER SPEAKERS]
- [INDISTINCT CHATTER]

- They have me on hold again.
- What'd they say?

They can't find Narula.
They're gonna track down his lawyer.

When?

Okay, okay.

Make sure he knows that
the auction is meant to start any moment.

Thank you.

Anything?

I can't wait any longer. I have to start.

[CLEARS THROAT]

Good morning.

- Thank you for coming.
- Sorry.

Got some very nice items for you today.

Lot number 843, a handwritten letter
from George Washington.

Bidding begins at $220,000.

So... Ah!

Two twenty-five.

Three hundred on the phone,
325, 350 over here.

And 375 on the phone.

Do I hear 400? Last chance.

All right, then.

It is sold.

For $375,000, to the bidder on the phone.

We're moving along now to our next item.

Lot number 844

is a handwritten draft of the poem
by Emma Lazarus, "The New Colossus."

- Written in 1883...
- [CELL PHONE CHIMES]

...this early draft of the poem
was engraved on the Statue of Liberty.

[CLEARS THROAT]

Excuse me a moment.

- [WHISPERS INDISTINCTLY]
- Ah.

I've just been informed,
this item has been withdrawn.

So we shall move straightaway
onto our next one.

- [INDISTINCT CHATTER]
- Lot number 845. It is a first edition...

Here you go. You did it.

Oh, we did it.

Okay, I'll buy that. Cheers.

If I may, I would like
to thank each and every one of you

for making
today's auction an amazing success,

I especially want to thank Tracy,
who went out on a limb

to save a very important part
of American history. Cheers.

- Cheers.
- Thank you.

Cheers.

That was definitely a day to remember.

Oh, best day ever.

- And the look on Carter Wainwright's face.
- So good.

When Leland just
pulled the poem away from him.

- Ah! That was the best.
- That alone was worth a million dollars.

Oh, and I am so glad
that you were there to share it with me.

Me too.
I wouldn't have missed it for anything.

[TENDER MUSIC PLAYING]

Uh, well, here we are.

Thanks again.

Thank you.

I'm sorry.
We just got caught up in the moment.

Well, it's a moment
I was hoping would happen.

I just wasn't sure you felt the same.

I'm not sure I'm ready to feel that way.

I get it. We can take it slow.

Slow feels too fast for me right now.

I'm sorry. Have I been misreading things?

No, it's me.

[MUSIC TURNS WISTFUL]

I think
I've been sending you mixed messages.

Or maybe I've been reading them wrong.

If you're not ready,
you're not ready. I understand.

I'm sorry.

Don't be. You're being honest with me.

That is totally admirable.
I appreciate it.

Maybe we should just, uh, call it a night?

Thank you.

Thank you.

[SOFT JAZZ MUSIC PLAYING OVER SPEAKERS]

This is a good home for it.

I think Emma Lazarus
would feel the same way.

Thank you so much, Mr. Narula.

It's a pleasure.

- Congratulations, Tracy.
- Leland, thank you. Thank you.

I still can't believe it's here.

Stanley, we did it together.

- No, this was all you.
- We made it happen. It was a team.

It was a team. I'll see you later.

- Mom.
- All finished?

- Thank you for waiting.
- Oh, honey.

I am so proud
of all that you've done here.

Thank you so much.

- I'm surprised you wanted to have dinner.
- What?

I would've thought you'd wanna celebrate
this special moment with Nick.

No, well,
things just got a little complicated.

Ah.

Sounds like a romantic complication.

[GENTLE MUSIC PLAYING]

Honey, I'm your mom, remember?

I'd have to be blind not to see
there was something going on with you two.

I'm the one who was blind.

I didn't realize
how close Nick and I had gotten

until he told me how he felt, and I...

And I got scared.

Scared of what?

Scared of how I feel about him.

Oh, honey.

Nick is a forever kind of guy.

And you can't confuse that with Finn,

or even your father and I.

All these years, I've watched as you
let our divorce color your relationships.

And the fact of the matter is,

your dad and I
just weren't right for each other.

But you and Nick are.

Yeah.

[CELL PHONE RINGING]

- Hello?
- Hi.

Are you okay?

Did Stanley call you?

We promised we wouldn't say.

So you know about Nick and me?

Since you're on your trampoline,
I'm guessing you're not okay.

- Trampolines are great for stress.
- Your problem isn't stress.

It's matters of the heart.

You should get off the trampoline,
and get over to Nick's restaurant.

It's the 30th. His opening.

I don't think that I am welcome there.

That didn't stop you with Ranghion Narula.

Get over there.

[HOPEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]

- This is a bottle of our finest...
- Congratulations, Nick.

[ITALIAN MUSIC PLAYING OVER SPEAKERS]

- Hi.
- Hi.

I was hoping
that the shiitake mushroom ravioli

would be on the menu tonight.

Hoping that's not the reason you came by.

No.

The man who made it is why I'm here.

Well, hate to break it to you,
but technically my nonna made it tonight.

She tried it.
When she did, she was all in.

But I get where you're going.

I should've come up
with a better opening line.

- [TENDER MUSIC PLAYING]
- No, you're doing just fine.

Good, because...

that's my best material.

So I'm sorry.

And the truth is...

The truth is,
you're not misreading anything.

So, what you're saying
is that if I was to kiss you,

you wouldn't push me away?

Well, it better be a good kiss.

But what constitutes a good kiss?

[NONNA] Who cares she's not Italian?

That was a great kiss.

[ENCHANTING MUSIC PLAYING]

[ISABELLA] They make a wonderful couple.

- Eh?
- [CHUCKLES]

You look so beautiful.

Oh, thank you.

- Have you heard from Emma?
- Yes, she landed.

- She's on her way.
- Okay.

- Great.
- Look at our beautiful bride.

[SPEAKS IN ITALIAN]

Oh, thank you.

Did Tracy tell you that's the same veil

worn by a contessa
in a 19th-century painting?

She told us about the painting,
and the veil, and legend.

Seems like it's coming true
for all three of you.

Hi.

- Yay!
- Sorry I'm so late.

After my flight got canceled,
we found another one,

but then there was only one seat,
so, Paolo's on the next flight out.

You look so stunning.

I have so much to tell you both.

- Okay, but you...
- Hi.

- But you need to take a very deep breath.
- You need to get dressed.

Okay, so I managed to track down
how the veil got to America.

It took me a while,
but I got in touch with Hilda.

- The woman we bought the veil from.
- Okay.

She found her mother's bill of sale
for the veil and some jewelry.

She bought it in New York in 1948.
You'll never guess who she bought it from.

Angela Diconcini.

- What?
- Arianna's granddaughter.

Angela Diconcini was my mother.

- What?
- [CHEERFUL MUSIC PLAYING]

Unbelievable.

Not when it comes to our veil, it isn't.

No, no. Wait a second.

Angela was your mother?
Claudia's daughter?

Yes.

- I gotta get dressed.
- Do you know why she sold the veil?

Well, I know my mother
sold some family heirlooms

when we got to America,
for money to open our restaurant,

Yeah.

But until today,
I had no idea what those heirlooms were.

Can someone please explain
what this all means?

What it means is that
Nick's family are direct descendants

of Arianna and Amici.

And that Paolo has even more cousins.

[ALL LAUGH]

Wait a minute.

I get that
this Arianna was in the painting,

but how exactly is she related to us?

I got this.

And I got her.

Okay, so, Arianna and Amici.

Amici was the artist
who painted the portrait.

They fell in love,
and they had a baby named Claudia.

But she was adopted
by Arianna's chambermaid, Carmela.

Carmela was my great-grandmother.

At least, I thought so before today.

Which also means
you two are cousins, by marriage.

Oh!

And I'm so jealous.

- No, no.
- No, we're all three still sisters.

Yes, forever.

We should take our seats.

Come on, Mom.

See you out there. Bye.

Thank you.

[MUSIC TURNS TENDER]

It's your turn, Tracy.

Are you nervous?

No, I'm not,
because you both are by my side.

We have been through
quite a lot together, haven't we?

We certainly have.

Good and bad, but mostly good.

Ups and downs, but mostly ups.

And no matter where we are,
we are always there for each other.

Okay.

- Let's get you married.
- That's a good idea.

Okay.

["MY VALENTINE" PLAYING]

Well, if you're gonna make me admit it,
I'm very glad that we bought the veil.

Because you finally believe in the legend?

No, because it matches my dress.

You're impossible.

I love him.

♪ She said that someday soon
The sun was going to shine ♪

♪ And she was right ♪

♪ This love of mine ♪

♪ My Valentine ♪

♪ As days and nights... ♪

You look beautiful.

You look handsome.

So I got you a little something.

- What?
- A little wedding gift.

["MY VALENTINE" CONTINUES OVER SPEAKERS]

Nick, you were the anonymous buyer
at the auction house?

As soon as I saw these,
I knew that they were meant for you.

They are perfect. I love it.

I hope so.

♪ My valentine... ♪

And now I think I remember
where I've seen these before.

Thank you.

I have never seen Tracy happier.

That's because she found what we have.

You're becoming as romantic as I am.

No.

[EMMA] Wow.

Hilda's bill of sale
included sapphire earrings?

These have to be
the earrings from Arianna's portrait.

I see the painting
every single day in the museum.

I can positively tell you,
those are her earrings.

That's amazing.

Do you believe in the legend now?

I don't know.

I do feel that
Arianna's spirit is looking out for us.

Can you just say you believe in the veil.
I can't take it anymore.

It's a definite "maybe."

I'll take it.

Ladies, we do have one thing left to do.

Toss the bouquet?

None of us needs it anymore.

No, actually, um,
I was thinking about something else.

Congratulations, you are now officially
a member of the wedding veil club.

You don't believe in that legend, do you?

Yeah, I'm married to Avery.

Hm.

- What? You don't believe in it?
- Oh, uh...

Tracy did have the veil
with her when we met, but, um...

- Maybe there's something to it.
- Yeah.

We all agreed that we wanted
to return this veil to your family.

Oh...

Thank you. So it comes back
from my mother, Angela, to me.

And from me to my daughter
and granddaughters.

[ISABELLA] Oh!

Thank you, Mom.

Well, if the legend is really true,

then we'll all be dancing
at three more weddings.

[ALL LAUGHING]

Ladies, hey, hey.

We never talked about where we wanna go
on our next reunion weekend.

What about going back to San Francisco?

Full circle. It's perfect.

I love that. We can see
what other treasures we can find.

No, we don't need any more treasures.

You know what? You're right.

- We have each other.
- Mm-hm.

To us.

To us.

To us.
