Do you realize
what's happening in the market?

You're dreaming, Tony.

You know it's a fair offer,

and you get to look like a hero
presenting it to your client.

Fiona, I know you.

Then you know
you should listen to me.

I don't know.

Another few weeks on the market,
who knows what my client'll get.

My guess?

Some shaky offers
and an angry co-op board.

Come on, what's it going to take
to close this deal

and give a nice grandma
and her pekinese a new home?

We've got a deal,

and you have got a rooftop
apartment by the river!

Well, they must have had
a hundred offers, Fiona!

How did you do it?

Just a little creative financing
and a whole lot of begging.

Thank you.

Location is everything.
You're going to love the place.

You are amazing.
Let's celebrate!

I can't, I'm sorry,
but congratulations.

Thank you.

Really happy for you.

Nate, hi. Listen, I'm grabbing
an uber, and I'll be there.

Okay. See you soon.

Andy?

Hi, so are we done
for the night?

What... no, no, no!
They can't leave town tonight.

I am showing them
the two-bedroom tomorrow.

The location's amazing.
It's right by the kids' school.

Now?

I just told Nate
I would meet him.

You know what?
Sure. I can do both.

Okay, see you soon.

Hey, can I...
Can I get a drink?

Nate!
Nate, I am so sorry.

Fiona.

Finally.

I know, my schedule was
just timed to the minute,

and the uber I was in
clipped a food truck,

so I had to get out and jog
the last eight blocks, and...

Listen, I know
this was important to you.

Yeah, the partners
only meet twice a year.

And I'll make it up
to you, I promise.

My schedule this time of year
is just a blitz.

We are a great couple
when we see each other,

but I'm not dating
your schedule,

and lately, it seems like
you never have time for me.

So I'll make time.

Fiona, we are who we are.

I just think that maybe...

Maybe we want different things.

What are you saying?

Well, that I'm tired of being
just one more ball in your juggling act.

Yes, I may be
juggling, but I've...

I've never dropped you.

Are you dropping me?

I think I'm just doing
what's best for both of us.

You're doing great, just great.

I'll see you in two weeks.

Thank you, doctor.
I feel much better.

Please tell me
that you have good news.

I have been listening
to sad stories all day long.

Nate dumped me last night.

What?

Honey.

I know, I'm just in shock.

Yeah, well...

You know what they say.
Men are like melons.

It's tough to pick a good one.

But he was a good one, and I thought
we were destined to be together.

I guess destiny
fell asleep on the job.

Ange, what am I doing wrong?

Nate and I had something
so special.

Well, why don't we meet up?

You know, there's no problem that
a good chocolate mousse can't fix.

What, did you learn that
in advanced psych?

No, I'd love to,

but Irwin lanheim
is about to stop by,

so who knows,
that could be trouble.

Well, you are you,
and you can handle anything.

Fiona, try to...

Schedule some time
for your feelings.

I will.

Okay, I'll talk to you later.

Thank you.

Fiona!

Hi!

It's been too long.

Yes. I read about the merger.
Well done.

Yes!

Quite the compliment from the
toast of New York Real Estate.

Well, it sounds better
than just being toast.

Yes, it certainly does.

How are the newlyweds?

Kimberly left me.

In fact, the papers
were just filed this morning.

I'm so sorry.

No, it is what it is.

We're kind of in the same boat.

You and Nate?

Yeah, we're on a...
We're on a bit of a break.

I'm sorry to hear that.

Unfortunately, when you work
as hard as you and I do,

sometimes relationships
tend to be...

A little bit difficult.

Yeah, my parents somehow
found a way to make it work.

Hey, how is your father?
Is he still in Vermont?

He's still running the Inn
with my stepmom.

What's it been,
like, five years?

I have to say, the city's a lot
less fun without my old rival.

Yeah.

I actually passed our old apartment
on the way over, and...

I just can't believe
my dad up and left the city.

I'm sorry.

You did not come here
to listen to me lament.

Fiona, this city
is your passion.

You take after your mother,
and it's that passion

that helped you build such a great
business, but you could do better.

In fact,
with the merger complete,

I want you to run the new real
estate arm of my banking interests.

Irwin, I'm honored, but
my business is great as it is.

I'm my own boss.

- Why would I want to change that?
- Because you've got a problem.

- I do?
- There's only one of you.

Can you imagine what you could do
with a staff of ten, or a hundred?

You can craft the Manhattan skyline
like it's your own set of tinkertoys.

Okay.
Just think about it...

But...

Not for too long?

I shouldn't have come.
I'm not brunch-ready yet.

Sure you are.

You've been working nonstop for...
What's it been now, three weeks?

What, since Nate?

22 days and 13 hours,
but, I mean, who's counting?

I'm so glad you're not obsessing.

You remind me
of a patient that I have.

Every session,
he obsesses about his cat.

Isn't there something called
"patient confidentiality?"

Don't be boring,
and don't block your feelings.

I just can't believe
that Nate dumped me!

If I could just pay
for my feelings to go away...

How do you think
I paid for my condo?

Never mind.

You know what your problem is?

You never slow down long enough
for you to actually have feelings.

Wait, hold that thought.

My point exactly.

You know, Nate and I
used to love this place.

Yeah, he would get
the Reuben on Rye.

It was his favorite.

Fiona?

You're going to have to move on.

But every relationship that I'm in,
it just falls apart.

Angela, what if I'm
alone permanently?

Really, what if I'm like
that half duplex

that just sits on
the market forever?

You need a fresh perspective.

You know, I think we could both
use a holiday out of town.

What, you mean like a vacation?

Yeah.

It'll shake things up
a little...

You know, get your mind
off of Nate.

We could come back here
with a fresh start.

I know just the place.

We should go visit your dad.

I've always wanted
to see the Inn.

The Inn?

I don't know.

My stepmom is still upset with me
for not visiting since last summer, and...

Well, you know
my dad and I have issues.

You need a change of scenery.

I mean, let's face it...

Manhattan is ground-zero
for happy couples.

I mean, holding hands
through Central Park,

shopping along Fifth Avenue,
brunching at places like this...

I mean, look. Look!
Don't you see my point?

My point exactly.

You sold me.
When do we leave?

Inn at Swan Lake.
May I help you?

- Hi, it's Fiona.
- Fiona!

Hi, honey.
How are you doing?

Listen, Delia, first,
before you say anything,

I'm sorry it's been so long
since I visited.

Honey, it's understandable.
I just miss you. Well, we all do.

Well, that's actually
why I'm calling,

'cause Angela and I
thought it would be nice

to come up
and see you guys for a few days.

Oh, good!

So I take it you're excited?

Yes, yes.

Listen, we'll just stay four or five
days, but only if you have the room.

Don't be ridiculous.
Of course we have room...

And Fiona, your timing
couldn't be more perfect.

Maplefaire kicks off this weekend!

Okay, great,
then we'll see you tomorrow.

Love you, and...
Send my love to dad.

Thanks.

- Fiona.
- Irwin!

Hi, I wasn't expecting
to see you.

And I wasn't expecting
to have to chase you down.

I'm sorry. I...
I really have to apologize.

Am I detecting
a bit of hesitation?

No.

I'm just going up to visit
my dad in Vermont, and...

This is an offer of a lifetime.

You'll be the queen
of New York Real Estate.

What more could you want?

Just a few more days
to clear my head.

All right.

- Give your father my best.
- I will.

- We'll talk soon.
- Absolutely. Thank you.

It is so pretty here.

Fun fact, did you know Vermont
has more cows per capita

than any other State?

And apparently,
it snows in the springtime.

It's beautiful.

Yeah, can you check my phone and
see if we have service yet, please?

No, no, no more work!

What, just because I'm out of town
doesn't mean my clients need to know that.

Okay, you've got to let it go.

- You are here to relax and enjoy.
- And forget.

You know, I am nervous
about seeing my dad.

Well, you've got five whole days
of heartfelt healing ahead.

And some heartfelt grilling from my
stepmom about why Nate and I broke up...

And we're here.

Well...

Welcome to paradise...
Or Siberia.

It's like the frozen tundra.

This is adorable!
I love it.

Well, Vermont is beautiful, but, I mean,
this only cost me my childhood home.

Oh, you poor thing.

Who's that?

Is that a groundskeeper
or something?

I don't know.
He's cute, though.

I have service.

What part of "I'm on vacation"
do you not understand?

This is definitely
not Manhattan.

That's gross.

Hey, hey!
Whoa, whoa, whoa!

What are you doing?

I'm just... I'm just getting rid
of these mushrooms.

I mean, eyesores like that can
really decrease the property's value.

They're not just mushrooms.

- They're oyster mushrooms.
- Okay. Oyster mushrooms. Sorry.

They're really delicious,

and they're extremely rare
for this early in the season.

Well, I didn't mean
to interrupt your harvest.

I've still got to take
mushroom soup off the menu.

Menu?

Wait, menu for what?

Fi!

What menu?

Brandon!

Hey!

Hey.

- Hey, Brandon.
- Angela.

The trouble twins return.

What, are you still sore
about those sno-cones?

Sno-cones
that ended up on my head?

Okay, from how I recall it,
I was ten.

You pulled my hair first.

Fi, back me up on this.

Me? No, no, I'm not getting
in the middle of this.

Wait, are you still living here?

It's only temporary...
Just like it was last summer.

And the summer before that,
and the summer before that.

I know, but you know what?
I won't knock it.

Helping dad
keep this place running

is a better workout
than I ever had at any gym,

although I do miss being
in the center of things.

I'm sure your tech-wizard
side will rise again.

I hope you're right.

You guys get inside.
I'll grab your bags.

Thanks.

He's working out now?
He looks good.

The place looks great.

They're here!

Hello! Hi!

Hi! Delia, hi.

Hi!

Hello, Angela!

My gosh,

it's been so long
since I've seen you!

I know. It's my fault.

I mean, it only has been
since last summer, though.

Well, when you run an Inn,
that's 200 bookings ago,

so for me,
it feels like forever.

I'm just so glad that you're home.

Do we have to call it "home?"

Yes.

You and your father are going to leave
this little tiff behind you on this trip. Okay?

- Okay.
- Okay.

The towels are out of the dryer,

but we better get 'em folded
before the new check-ins arrive.

Well, some of the new check-ins
are already here.

Dad.

Welcome home.

Er... welcome... here.

So...

- How's life in the Big Apple?
- Great.

This might refresh your memory.

Got you a bottle
of your favorite perfume

from Fifth Avenue.

You didn't have to do that.

No, it's nothing.

Well, thank you.

And Harris,

some real bagels from zabar's.

Oh ho ho ho!

Thank you both.

There he is.

Fiona, this is Derek.

Studied in Paris.

He's a culinary genius,
and the Inn's pride and joy.

The wise-guy groundskeeper?

He's our new head chef,

and fingers crossed,

soon to be the first
Michelin Star chef in Vermont.

I believe we've met before,

and mushroom soup
is still off the menu.

Yeah, he's very protective
over his mushrooms.

Yeah,

and a true artist
who needs to focus.

I've persuaded some
of the top restaurant bloggers

in New England

to come later this week,

so he needs to be in prime form.

Bookings have been down
a little bit,

and we could use the press.

Tomorrow,
we have more guests arriving,

and thanks to Brandon,
we've updated our web site,

and we're starting to market
to the hip millennial crowd.

"Hip millennial crowd?"

That just does not sound right
coming out of your mouth, dad.

Which reminds me...

Oh, yeah.

Let me get you girls

all settled up
in your rooms, okay?

Great.

You can relax,

and enjoy yourself,

and then later on,

you can tell me all about
your breakup with Nate.

Right this way.

Yay. Can't wait.

Come on.

I'm trapped in farmville.

Um, are you aware
it's not even 6:00 a.m.?

Well, then I'm late.

This should've been done
by 5:30.

Isn't it a little early
for all this racket?

If I don't get this birch cut,
there'll be no smoked salmon for dinner.

New York Princess.

Vermont lumberjack.

- Can I help you?
- No, thanks.

You were already helpful enough
with the wake-up call.

It's my kitchen,
so what can I get for you?

We got off on a rocky start, but
why don't you just do your thing,

and I'm going to grab some food,
and I will just go for a run.

Again...

My kitchen.

Fine, have it your way.

I'm on a gluten-free,
no-soy, no-dairy diet.

Food allergies?

No, my nutritionist has
this amazing food blog...

What are you doing?

Don't worry.
I've got breakfast covered.

You're going to love it.

I am?

Maybe I don't drink coffee.

You? Please.

That's good.

You should know,
I'm actually, um...

Actually usually just
steering clear of carbs.

Well, until now.

We are literally
watching paint dry.

Just give me a second.

My cell gets
really bad reception here.

Do you know
where there's better service?

The world can't function
for a day without your input?

That wasn't the question.

Try outside.
A high place...

A hill?

A barn? A horse?

Thank you.
You've been so helpful.

Well?

It's not terrible.

Oh, my goodness.
So good...

Ho.
Not terrible.

Hey!

Good morning to you too.

C'mon, signal...
Signal, signal...

Signal! Signal! Yes!

Hi.

Hi, Andy!
Andy, listen.

I've gotta talk fast
'cause I may lose signal,

but I need you to check
the kovacs escrow because...

Andy? Andy, Andy, Andy?

No Andy.

Hi, swatch.

Help me out a second.
I'm late on brunch.

Wait, is this where
this rooster lives?

'Cause he and I
are having a talk.

Yeah, I named him "swatch".

He thinks he's a clock.

I mean, do you think he knows
how to get a cell phone signal?

This is Vermont.
It's not Timbuktu.

Signal's pretty sketchy up here.

Anyway, aren't you supposed
to be relaxing

after that nasty little breakup
of yours?

Staff gossips.
Probably wise you learn that now.

Well, you know what?

It's no wonder, considering there's
absolutely nothing to do up here.

There's plenty to do out here.

Really?

What, like growing your own herbs?

'Cause that looks real entertaining.

Exactly.

Everything I serve
is locally sourced,

and what I can't grow,
I buy from local farms...

- Well, mostly.
- Mostly?

Sometimes I can't get the
vegetables I really need,

but I'm working on a solution.

And what's that?

The neighbor is selling off one of the
fields on his farms, the fella up the road?

Yeah, the kind of cranky guy
who favors plaid?

That's him.

Only problem is, old Chauncey
refuses to sell to me.

I'm... shocked that you would
rub someone the wrong way.

Thank you.
I have a brunch to prepare.

If your old pals on Wall Street
could see you now.

Look around.

This place holds more value to me
than any portfolio ever could.

I could not be happier here.

I think maybe you could be happy
here someday too.

You think that's possible?

Dad, I would have been happy
with our old place by the park,

but... we both know
that ship's sailed.

Why do you always have
to bring up the past?

Why do you always
want to forget it?

I mean, I know you
deserved a fresh start,

but that was my history too.

Just would have been nice
to know you were selling.

You were in college,
and besides, it had to be done.

Look... I've got a million things
I've got to do.

We've got a beautiful weekend
shaping up.

Brandon's online promotions
are starting to pay off.

It's going to be
a beautiful weekend.

- Let's get some coffee.
- Okay.

Okay, there's French press
in the kitchen.

All right?

Hey, you made it! I heard
about the mess on the mass pike?

Hang on, I gotcha here.

There we go.

There you are! You know, you could
sleep through an explosion.

Not an explosion of flavor.

Fi, this omelette is amazing.

The chef here is a genius.

He sure thinks so.

Listen...

We've got to get out of here.
This place is infested!

- With what?
- With couples!

We left the Big Apple,
and we ended up in Mayberry.

Look around you.

We got lovebirds over here
dressed for hiking,

and mustache-Mike and blondie,
they're checking in,

and this happy couple over here,

they're probably celebrating
the first time they kissed!

I mean, where is the subway noise
when I need it?

Okay, honey, we just got here!

Yeah, and we can be home by dinner.

Are you kidding me?

No, there's lots of great stuff
for us to do here!

You need to open yourself up
to new experiences.

I've got one word for you...

Maplefaire.

Yeah, I've heard about it.

Some local ritual
involving trees.

I've managed to avoid it
all these years.

Yup, "five days of rustic
festivities around town".

Look, this looks super fun!

And it starts today.

Fine. Whatever.
Just... anywhere but here.

You have to try this.

Hey, did you know you can get
a maple sugar scrub facial here?

You're not going Vermont
on me already, are you?

Well, hey, country life
sure looks good on your little bro.

You've played before,
haven't you?

Yeah!
Congratulations!

He's not so little anymore.

Here you go.

Congratulations.

Great.
Look who's here.

Yes, Derek's doing
a cooking demonstration.

The great thing about
a small community

is that you can run into familiar
faces everywhere you turn.

And the great thing about New York
is you can lose yourself in a crowd.

So with the scallops
golden brown,

we add in some of Vermont's
finest maple syrup...

Reduce that down.

The maple actually brings out
the natural sweetness in the scallops...

And voila,
maple-glazed sea scallops.

I thought you said
you only cooked

with locally sourced
ingredients.

Vermont has no coast, so I'm guessing
you went rogue with the sea scallops?

I see we have a heckler.
This might interest you.

At one time, Vermont was claimed
by both New York and New Hampshire

until the green mountain boys
defended our land claims.

These scallops are from New Hampshire,
so how about we make peace

and just call them
"Vermont-adjacent scallops"?

And how do you know all that?

My mother is
eighth-generation Vermonter.

And that's a good thing?

Excuse me. Marilyn!

Pardon the interruption.

City folk.

He is so annoying.

Come on, Fi, let's at
least have some fun.

Ladies!

Step up and take a shot!
One dollar gets you one dart.

Hit a balloon, and win
some sweet, sweet prizes!

Yes! Yes!
We should play!

It'll be a healthy
release of aggression.

No, I'm not in the mood.

This whole thing reminds me
of coney island, and...

Remember
when Nate won me that bear?

Fi, come on, we're here to relax
and have a good time.

And there's no $200 mani-pedi
places up here.

By the way,
you're my ride back to the Inn.

Lucky me.

Can't wait.

You know what?
Actually, ange... Why not?

Yes!

All right, let's do this.
I'll take one, please.

Here you go.
Thank you.

All right, let's go!

Let me think about it.
I'm just going to walk around a bit.

Thank you.

- Whoa!
- Hey, is that...

Nate?

Fiona!

I knew it.
You know what?

He must have called my office,
and he followed us up here.

- I knew he would change his mind.
- That is so romantic!

Nate!

Nathaniel!

- Hi.
- Fiona?

Hey!
What are you doing here?

Well, I could ask
the same thing of you.

This place is so much fun,
isn't it, Nate?

Yeah.

I'm just so surprised
to see you here.

Nate, honey, what's up?

Well, I just, um...

I ran into an old friend.

That's one way of putting it.

What's going on?

Well, this is Haley...
My... My new girlfriend.

I'm sorry, I just...
It's so funny.

I thought
you just said "girlfriend"!

He did.

Wow, that was...

That was fast.
How did you two meet?

Actually, she's
a friend of my sister's.

Haley!

Haley Summit, it is you!

Hi, Mrs. Rangely.

You two know each other?

Haley's family's been
coming to the Inn for years,

and I have
your family's reservation

for this evening.

Your two favorite rooms,
as usual.

It's not for my family.
It's for my boyfriend and I.

I always loved coming
to Maplefaire growing up,

and I wanted to show
Natey my Vermont.

"Natey?"

Hi, Mrs. Rangely.

Oh my.

Wait, are you staying
at the Inn?

What am I missing here?

It's a really small world
that just got a whole lot smaller.

I'm Fiona.

Hi, Fiona.

Yeah.

Hey.

Tick-tock.
I've got to get dinner started.

One sec.

This is the last place on earth
I expected you to be.

- At her dad's?
- Away from the city.

Look, I had no idea
it was your dad's place.

We could stay at another Inn.

It's Maplefaire.

I doubt there's any vacancies
between here and Montpelier.

I'm so sorry, Fiona.

I didn't mean
for this to happen.

It's fine!

Really?

Yeah, it's totally fine,
because I am actually...

I'm, I'm...

I'm also actually
seeing someone new.

You are?

Yeah.

Yeah, you know, he's... Well,
he's the executive chef at the Inn...

And he's just a great guy.

You guys would love him.

He's just...
He's really talented.

Hey! Come on!
Who scratched my crepe pan?

He's a little temperamental, but you
know what, that comes with being a genius.

He sources everything locally.
Can you believe that?

Well, I mean...

Everything except me, of course.

I don't get it.

I mean, what were you thinking?

I wasn't, okay?

I mean, I clearly have
maple syrup on the brain,

but I have the perfect
fix for all this.

We leave!

I mean, you're welcome to stay
if you want,

but, you know, the universe is clearly
telling me Vermont and I do not mix.

Fi...

Don't you see?

If you leave now, it's going
to look like you still care.

I know, but...
I just, I can't do this.

Look, it's just one night until Delia
finds someplace else for them to stay.

Yeah, that's one night too many,

so if you're coming with me,
I'll meet you by the car.

You going somewhere?

No, why would you think that?

So listen,
I'm sorry about all this.

It's just going to be
for one night.

Yeah, please...
It's, it's fine.

It's whatever.
It's...

I mean...
You sure did meet Haley fast.

Yeah, yeah.

The timing
just sort of worked out.

You too with that chef?

Yeah, Derek.
Derek and... Yeah, that was...

Same with me, I mean,
that was...

That was just a lightning bolt!

Great.
That... that is great.

Yeah.

Anyways, you know,
it's really good to see you.

I, um...

I've got to meet Haley down
at the lake, so I'll just...

I'll just see you around.

Yeah.

Fiona?

A word?

Yeah.

So...

- I hear we're an item.
- You overheard that.

Okay, listen, I am so sorry.

It just slipped out,

but Nate and I, we just broke
up, like, a few weeks ago,

and he's already...

He already has
a new girlfriend up here.

A few weeks?

Well, 23 days
and seven hours... ish.

Pretty quick for a rebound.
Not much of a gentleman.

You know what, though?
I think we just had a moment.

- A moment of delusion?
- No, no, a moment of spark.

I need your help.

Pretend to be my
boyfriend for the week.

Let me think about that.

No.

Well, what if...

Just please let me save
a little dignity here.

No, I've got Maplefaire this week,
and the food bloggers are coming,

and even if I was as delusional
as you are, which I'm not,

there's nothing in it for me.

Well...

How about a quid pro quo?

You, you want that field
for your organic farm, right?

Of course.

I'd have vegetables farm to table
in minutes instead of days.

It'd be a dream,
but a pipe dream.

Chauncey'll never go for it.

Your dream is farm to table?
I can get that for you.

Not likely.

See, Chauncey
is a classic New Englander.

He hates change

and the city people he thinks
this Inn is attracting.

He's just positioning himself
for a better offer.

No, no, no.

Look, up here, money isn't
always the deciding factor.

Chauncey isn't some Wall Street
type buying up co-ops in soho.

Okay, listen.

I have sold a closet
with no windows.

I bought a Tribeca loft
for a song.

You want that field?
I'll get it for you.

Impossible.

- Not in my vocabulary.
- You're serious.

- Yeah.
- For the field?

Yep.

Well, I guess you've got yourself
a pretend boyfriend for the week.

Good morning, kiddo.
You look nice.

Thanks, dad.

Listen. I've been
on the phone all morning.

Every hotel, motel,
Inn in the county...

Everybody's booked solid.
I'm sorry, honey.

Look, if you want me to ask
Haley and Nate to leave, I will.

It's fine, it's fine.

It's fine.
That's what I figured, yeah.

Listen, has Nate been down yet?

Yeah, he and Haley went out
for a morning walk in the woods.

- Why?
- No reason.

- So... you're okay?
- Yeah, it's fine.

Okay.

You missed breakfast, but
there's still some brioche left.

Never mind that.

They're on a romantic stroll,
which means we are too.

- But the dishes...
- They can wait!

- Meet me outside in five minutes.
- Yes, dear.

I thought this was supposed to be
a romantic stroll, not a sprint.

Yeah, but at this pace, they'll be
back before we've even started.

Those shoes.

- What's wrong with my duck boots?
- Where do I even start?

Hey, this is Vermont.

You know, I've got a pair for you
if you want them.

No thanks.

I'm trying to win him back,
not scare him away.

You're going to regret it.

For crying
out loud... Here.

No, no... Aah!
What are you doing?

- Put me down.
- Quit wiggling.

You're going to put
us both in the mud.

- Put me down!
- Okay.

I didn't mean
put me down right here!

What did you want me to do?

- You having some trouble there?
- No!

No, no, no, no, no, we're fine.
Hi!

We were just out for a walk.

We haven't formally met.

Sorry, sorry.
Nate, Haley, this is Derek.

That's...
Quite the grip you got there.

You two are so cute together.
How'd you two meet?

We...

I was up visiting the Inn,
and we sort of...

- Just bumped into each other.
- Literally.

City drivers, right?
Always speeding.

Yeah, well, I mean, he was driving
dangerously under the speed limit.

Well, you know how hard it is
to get Fiona to slow down.

Well, maybe
I don't need to slow down.

Maybe you need to speed up.

And it just came together
in a Fender-bender of love.

Well, we're off for a nice,
relaxing walk in the woods.

Isn't that right, Fiona?
She loves to slow down now.

Isn't that right, honey?

- Yeah, I really do.
- Yeah, take it slow.

Okay, well...

Maybe we'll see you
at the Maplefaire, then.

Yeah.

Nice to meet you.

- You too.
- Bye.

- What are you doing?
- I thought that was good.

No, it was a little too much.

Here, you want a hand?

No, thank you.
You've been helpful enough.

Thanks for the help.

Where's Derek?

The kitchen's a mess.
That's so unlike him.

I believe that he's out
on a stroll with Fiona.

What? Why?

Because they're
dating now, dear.

Mock dating.

Well... thank you.
I will see you later.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Hold on, that's it?

Well, yeah. I've got contracts
to look at this morning.

Well, you don't want to seem like
you're hiding out away from Nate.

- No, of course not.
- Good.

Everybody in town is going to
Maplefaire today, including us.

I guess I'm just going to enjoy
myself on this trip, or die trying.

Let's go.

Angela, Brandon!

We are going to go to Maplefaire.
Do you guys want to join us?

Yeah, sure.

- Yeah, I'll grab my coat.
- Yeah, I'll go get my stuff.

Wait!

- What is going on here?
- Spring is in the air.

I love the smell
of maple syrup in the morning.

So, you grew up in Manhattan?

Let me guess...
Hell's kitchen?

No, upper West Side near the park.
More like hell's breakfast nook.

Chauncey.

Hi. Hi, sir.

That man is allergic to hellos.

Just don't forget
our end of the bargain.

I know, I know.

Ex-boyfriend sighting,
one o'clock.

They're having a candied apple?

Well, two can play that game.

You sure do know
how to spoil a girl.

What kind of fake boyfriend
do you take me for?

Okay, so...

We've got pickled jalapenos,
capers, and peppers, or...

You could do some apple bobbing.

How about a little country
karaoke right up there?

You must really enjoy putting me
in awkward situations.

Yeah. It's part of the fun
of this whole thing.

Did you see that?

What?

Nate just peeked over at us.
That is called a "tell".

It's when a buyer takes
that one last look

back at the house...

You know
you've nearly hooked 'em.

All right,
then we need to up our stakes.

You want
to make him jealous, right?

Yeah, of course.

Then we need to look like we're
having more fun than they are.

That's such a good point.

All right, we've got
to do something else.

We'll save it for
after, take a break.

I know!
I hope you brought your appetite.

Let's do this thing.
You know, French crepes,

Indian dosas, Ethiopian injera,
even blinis in Russia,

they all fall under
the same delightful banner...

Pancakes.

Save your mouth
for eating, honey.

I'm mayor Sloane,
and I'd like to welcome you all.

Okay, maple lovers...

You each got
a plate of 11 pancakes

topped
with the finest Vermont syrup.

Whoever can eat the most
in 60 seconds

will be crowned
our pancake king or queen!

No.

Ready, steady... Eat!

Go, go, go, go!

Go!

- What are you doing?
- I'm eating!

At the pace of a field mouse?

Food is meant to be savored,
not endured.

Stop rushing me.

- It's a contest!
- I can't do this.

Maybe with a little more syrup.

Are you kidding me?
Budge out.

Scoot over.
Watch out.

Disqualified from
a pancake-eating competition?

Oh, you're blaming me, huh?

You were the one
who stole my pancakes.

What choice did you leave me?

We just obviously have different
approaches to problem-solving.

Yeah, you're "left brain", as in you
left your brain at cooking school,

and I'm "right brain"
'cause you know I'm right!

Oh no, they're staring at us!

So?

So we can't be seen arguing.

Do something, please.

What are you doing?

I panicked!

Let's... let's go.

I should just give up

and go back to New York.

You still owe me
that field, remember?

Yes, how could
I possibly forget...

And I will get it for you,
the sooner, the better.

You even kiss too fast.

Mr. Chauncey.

Hi, I'm Fiona.
Here's my card.

That's a really great cow
you have there.

- It's a steer, actually.
- Well, it's an amazing one.

Flattery will get you nowhere...

And I know who you are.
Your father runs the Inn.

Yeah, we're neighbors!

I was hoping we could talk
neighbor-to-neighbor

about your property for sale?

- What's your interest in it?
- I'm actually inquiring for Derek.

Ho, he's bringing in
the big New York guns, is he?

Well, I don't know about that,
but he's offered you a really fair price.

Well, you can tell that fella
that I am still selling to him,

not now, not ever,
and that's that.

But... sir,
maybe we could...

Well, that morning
could have gone better.

Yeah, that much we agree on.

You ever slow down?

Do you ever speed up?

You know, a lot of good things
can come from slowing down.

Name one.

Art, for one.
The Russian novelists.

All they needed
was a pen and a long winter.

Why do you feel the need
to constantly distract yourself?

No, no, no.
Just give me one second.

- What are we doing here?
- I want to show you something.

No, no, no.

Come on.

Where are we going?
What are we doing?

Just taking a little field trip.

No, no, after our last walk, I think
I just need a hot bath and a book.

I promise it's going to be
worth it this time,

but you may want to wear these.

Fine.

Almost there.

Almost where?

We're going tree-tapping.

The first syrup of the season's
always the sweetest.

Why are you bring me
along for this?

To make a point.

Can't you just
tell me your point?

There she is.

Beauty?

What's so special
about this tree?

My great-grandfather planted
this tree when he was a boy

among these evergreens.

Come on, really?

Yep...

And then, when it grew,
my grandma helped him tap it,

and then my parents,
and now me.

Well, it is really
pretty out here.

And you haven't even tasted
the syrup yet.

This tree is special.

It's got the lightest...

The most golden...

See, a tree like this, it takes
years and years to grow.

And we hold it still.

Don't worry,
I'm not going to hurt it.

Tap it in.

Where's the syrup?

I think our tree is broken.
Do we have a broken tree?

It's not a syrup faucet.

See, that's my point.

A bucket like this, it could take
a couple days to fill.

My point is,
is that good things...

Are worth waiting for.

Sweet?

It's not bad.

Yeah, we haven't even
boiled it down yet.

You really do love it out here?

Yeah.

I love being part
of a tradition.

Like my recipes.

A lot of those are
handed down generations.

Some people keep photo albums.

I have this cookbook
I keep by the stove.

It's full of recipes...

And then, when I make
something my grandma made,

it helps me remember her.

It's like she's almost there.
Does that make any sense?

Yeah, I...

Yeah, I get
the remembering part, but...

I don't know, for me, sometimes,
remembering can be hard.

What do you mean?

Let's just say
some memories are like syrup...

- They stick.
- But hopefully sweet?

All right.

Say goodbye.

Goodbye, tree.

Listen, I think maybe we
got off on the wrong foot.

Look, I'm sorry.

It's just between my career
and some issues with my dad,

and then this whole
thing with Nate,

it's just... I've been
under a lot of stress, and...

I get it. I do.

If you don't mind me asking,
why'd you and Nate break up?

Something about being tired
of trying to fit into my juggling act.

I thought so.

You know, if you really want
to get Nate's attention, just...

Slow down.
Smell the maple syrup.

Okay, maybe don't ever say that
again, but...

You know what?
I have just the event for that.

And what brings us here?

All in good time.

So what is this about?

We're maple syrup tasting.

It's like wine-tasting,
but with syrup.

What, is this payback
for the pancake competition?

That's right.

Incoming, incoming.
Stay in character.

We meet again.

So what have you two
been up to today?

Well, we went to a yoga class,
we tried out snowshoeing,

and then we hit
this great little antique shop.

What about you guys?

Well, we had a really busy
morning planned, and then we...

Just ended up talking
for hours and hours.

Yeah, just hours.

Hours.

Well, I thought
Nate had to try this.

The syrup tasting was always one
of my favorite events growing up.

My wine-tasting palate
is first-rate, but... syrup?

I think I'll sit this one out.

Aww, come on,
what are you afraid of?

It'll be a blast.

Actually...

Haley...

It's on.

All right.

Great.

Have fun.

Yoga?
He doesn't do yoga.

She is really pretty, though.

Okay, folks!

She's okay.

You each have
five samples in front of you.

As you try each one, fill out
your card with your guess,

and then we'll really see
who knows their syrup.

Okay, drink up.

Are you serious?
Come on.

You want me to find the perfect
brownstone in Brooklyn,

I'm your girl, but this?

- It's just like wine tasting.
- It's maple syrup.

Yeah, but what we call "maple"
is a combination

of a hundred different sugars
and amino acids.

They all combine differently,
depending

on how that particular tree
woke up from winter.

Okay, so, Mr. Tree man, you're
the expert, you do the tasting.

Close your eyes.

I don't want to close my eyes,
so I can see what they're doing.

Yeah, that's a, that's a...

Forget about Nate for a second,

and just clear your mind
for once in your life.

Is your mind clear?

No, because you're still talking
to me.

All right, shut your eyes.

All right, now,
give me your hand.

What would you do
if this was wine?

Um, if this were wine,
I would drink it.

If this was wine,
I would swirl it around.

That's right.

Check for unique tones.

Yeah, it seems smooth and...

Kind of a hint of vanilla.

Yeah, exactly.

Depending
on how the sap is heated,

it can bring out
different vanillin in the flavor.

Okay.

What about this one?
What about the color of it?

Try this one.

I'm counting on you here.

And I think
I remember you saying

the later the season,
the darker the color?

That's right.

So we'll Mark it "Late Season".

You know, you're better at this
than you thought.

Thanks.

And I would call that a "tell".

Try this one.

Okay, number three.

Hey, hey, hey, hey!

Not bad for a newcomer!

Thanks!

And don't forget your prize, two
tickets to Tuesday's maple dance!

Great!

I cannot believe we won.
Five for five!

- Hey, no hard feelings, Nate?
- No, not at all.

Well, we'll see you guys
back at the Inn.

We're off for a sunset stroll.

Great.

A sunset stroll?

Okay, someone's
getting competitive.

See, what did I tell you?

I'd say he's intrigued
by Vermont Fiona.

I think we're making progress.

Hey, you want to make
him jealous, right?

Yes, seething.

I'm training a new sous chef
on tonight's dinner.

Would Vermont Fiona like
to join me for a dinner for two?

Vermont Fiona would love that.

There is one thing
I have to do first, though.

Okay.

Mr. Chauncey.

Hi.

Well...

If good fences mean good neighbors,
we've got a long way to go.

Right.

I was hoping we could talk
a little more privately.

How about you get to the point?
I got hungry sheep waiting.

Right.

I wanted to discuss my client's
offer to buy your field.

Never going to happen.

But you're growing weeds,
and I've asked around town,

and this has been sitting here
for a while on the market.

It's a solid offer.
Why not sell to Derek?

'Cause he's attracting the wrong
element with his fancy cooking...

Turnip tartines,
or whatever they are.

You and your type are changing this
valley, and it's not for the better.

Me?

Sir, you have me pegged
all wrong.

Your fancy scarf
is snagged on the fence there.

- You look beautiful, honey!
- Thanks, dad.

So, tell me, what is this
charade with you and Derek?

Are there no secrets
in the State of Vermont?

Come on, if it impacts the Inn,
it's my business.

We've got those food bloggers
coming in a couple of days,

and Derek has to be focused.

The future of the Inn
could be at stake here.

I know, of course.
The Inn.

All right, look, I've got a raccoon
situation down at the carriage house,

so...

Hey, Fi.

You ready to eat?

Yeah, you know, dad,
do you want to join us?

No, that's okay. You lovely
ladies have a nice dinner.

- What was that all about?
- It's ancient history.

You and your dad really need
to have a heart-to-heart.

You think I haven't tried?

He has this amazing gift
for changing the subject.

Speaking of...

How was your day?

It was great.

Your father had Brandon and I

handing out flyers for the
bloggers' dinner all over town.

Wait, he put you to work?

Angela, you're supposed
to be on vacation!

I'm sorry.

I'll have a word with him.

No, don't you dare.
It was fun.

Ladies!

There's been a slight change
in the seating plan for tonight.

Angela, you're going to be
right over here by the fireplace.

I like this.

And Fiona, your date is waiting.

Yes!

Hello.

Hello!

Well, if Fiona gets to mock date,
then maybe we can as well.

Voila.

Good evening.

Hi!

No duck boots tonight?

These loafers turn back
into duck boots at midnight.

Fair warning,

I may have to duck back
into the kitchen occasionally

just to make sure my sous chef
has everything running smoothly.

Did you just hear a can opener?

If we're playing happy couple,

you need to pay attention
to me, and not the kitchen.

Okay, well, then,
you have to look at me as well.

All right, well, I guess this
little fake relationship of ours

can use a little give and take.

Okay.
Let's just do our best.

Just admit it,
you love being a chef

because you get to torture
everyone with your perfectionism.

Is that what you think?

Look, you know...
The best dishes of my life?

My grandma's wedding meatballs.
My dad's Shepherd's pie.

Maple torte
on my aunt's birthday.

To me,
food isn't about perfection.

It's about...

It's about love,

and...

And family, and tradition.

Anyway...

I'd say by the look on Nate's
face, our plan is going rather well.

How are things on your end?

Tracked down Chauncey today.
He is one tough nut.

Yeah, tell me about it.

But don't worry, I'm tougher.

I actually have a little mission
planned for tomorrow.

- Are you in?
- Sure.

Here's to solving
all our problems.

I told Robin if her brother was
going to act like that, then...

Nate?

Are you listening?

Yeah, yeah, I just...

I think it's odd

that Fiona didn't bring
her cell phone to dinner.

That's a first.

Nate, what's come over you?

What?

So what's the deal
with you and your dad?

That's the one answer the staff
rumor mill can't grind out.

It's just...

When I was 20,
my mom passed away, and...

Well, my life was turned
upside down.

Sorry.

Hey, you think I love the city?
My mom loved it even more.

She lived life at a gallop,
and, well, I take after her...

And growing up,

we had this amazing apartment
overlooking Central Park.

It was the perfect location,
and we would...

I mean, we'd open the windows
at night in the winter,

and you would smell
chestnuts roasting,

and you'd hear cars driving by
all night.

In the summer,
mom and I would sit out there

and just watch hansom cabs
trotting by, and...

My dad always thought
it was so loud and busy...

But mom and I loved it.

Sounds great.

Yeah, it really was, um...

And after my mom passed away,

my dad actually just...
He sold it...

With no warning.

Sold it, moved up here,
and, um...

Just really put our past
behind him.

Well, things have been a little strained
between my dad and I ever since.

That explains quite a bit.

You know, for you, you have
a recipe to keep a memory alive.

For me, I guess...

I guess it's a place.

You know, the city
is my tie to our past,

and... to my mom.

I sound like the last soldier
of my family,

just, you know, clinging
to this island of Manhattan.

Well, that's a tough battle
to fight on your own.

I think
they probably need you in there.

You know what?

I think it can wait.

- Hey, you.
- Hey.

You might want
to tighten those laces,

'cause I hit a patch of ice
as I jogged that last turn.

Thanks, but I actually think I'm
going to walk the rest of the way.

You are going to walk?

Yeah, sure.
Walking.

What, did you sprain an ankle or
something?

No, I just think I want
to take in the scenery.

You know, you...
You seem different out here.

Chalk it up to Vermont...

But I actually have been
discovering a few things lately.

Yeah, yeah, I guess you have.

You know, I saw you and Derek
at dinner last night.

I hope you don't mind
me asking, but...

What do you two have in common?

Guess I get
to discover that too.

See ya.

Hey!

I'm here to recruit you.

Fiona texted about putting some
sort of secret mission together.

What is it?

Who knows, but, you know,
Fiona always has a nice way

of shaking things up.

So, how's the whole
"moving back home" thing going?

Are you enjoying living out here?

Yeah...

For now.

I wouldn't mind getting
back into the action,

but, first, I wanted to make sure
dad's Inn is a success, so...

Such a nice guy.
No wonder I always liked you.

You know, when we were kids,

I didn't chuck my sno-cones
at just anyone.

Well, I only pulled the hair
of girls that I liked.

Do you want
to have a break later

and we can go into town,
put up some more flyers,

maybe find a place
that sells sno-cones?

You're on.

It's Fiona.

The mission's a go.

Tell me again
how I got roped into this?

I had some inspiration.
You know what?

I didn't get to where I am
by being timid.

So what are we
doing here, anyways?

We're mending fences, literally,
and apparently cow-sitting.

I want to show Chauncey
we can be a good neighbor.

So he's ploughing his
south field right now,

so we probably
have a couple hours.

Looks like we've got
our work cut out for us.

All right, let's get started.

Steady down there.

Not bad.

What's that noise?
A tractor?

He's coming!
Go, go, go, go, go, go!

Bye, Bessie!

Thanks!

I just wish I could see the look on
Chauncey's face when he sees our work.

Got to hand it to you, you know
how to think outside the box.

You have to.

I mean, you have to
to succeed in my business.

Haven't you ever wanted
more for yourself?

I mean, a chef of your talent
would just be in such high demand

in New York.

Nah, I got everything
I need right here.

Really, so you're
content with all this?

Just small town life forever?

When I was growing up,
I couldn't wait to get away,

but then I went
to culinary school in Paris,

and...

I had this apartment
overlooking the city,

French girlfriend, different
amazing restaurant every night...

And then one day, I was sitting
on the banks of the Seine,

and I realized that...

I missed home.

This place, it just...

It grows on you.

What have you two been up to?

We're just...

Doing a little work.

Why are you so dressed up?

It's for the dance tonight.

Last night of Maplefaire
and all.

Yeah, I'd better get cleaned up too,
'cause we're also going to the dance.

Yeah.

Right, we don't want to
waste our free tickets.

But don't you have
to cover dinner?

No, my sous chef can handle it.

Letting go of control?
I like it.

Yeah, I'd better go check on him
just to make sure.

It's not a control thing,
it's just... Yeah.

Well, I better go get ready,
so... We'll see you there.

Yeah, yeah.

Hey, Fiona...

I need to talk to you.

Hey, that was fast.

Hey. See you later.

Yeah.

Honey...

- Can I have a word?
- Sure. What's up, dad?

Yeah, well...

I just got a phone call
from Chauncey.

Was he excited?

Not exactly.
He was furious.

You didn't by any chance
rebuild his fence?

Wait, he wasn't happy?
What is wrong with this place?

Honey, people up here
are proud and self-reliant.

It's best
not to burn any Bridges.

I was hoping that some day

maybe you'd want
to spend more time up here.

You do seem to be
taking to the place.

Dad, don't forget that this whole
Vermont thing is just an act.

Right.
I've got a plumbing thing I...

Yeah.

Are you and your dad
ever going to really talk?

I'm not holding my breath.

Well, cinderella,
you'd better hurry up.

You have a dance to get to.

Right.

I wish I'd packed
more evening-wear options.

Okay.
It's almost time.

Come on out.

Okay.

Fiona!

You look amazing.

Really?
Are you sure?

Almost ready?

Come and have a look
at my handwork.

You're perfect. But...

But?

I have one slight addition
for you.

It was my mother's.

I know I'm not your mom,

and I could never
take her place, but...

This is really special.

Just... thank you.

Hey, hey!

Watch the hair!

Sorry!

You ready? Let's go. Your fake
boyfriend will be here any minute.

Right, okay.

Your hansom cab awaits.

I never expected all this.

The bells were the horse's idea.

You have gone above and beyond.

Like you said...
A deal's a deal.

Well, it's not exactly Central Park,
but it's not bad.

It's beautiful.

It's the moonlight.

In Vermont.

It's so beautiful.

Yeah, it's amazing what
a few twinkly lights can do.

You know, if I were Nate,

and I walked in here
and found you dressed like this,

dancing with some other guy...

Well, that just might send me
over the edge.

Are you asking me to dance?

Well, if the duck boot fits...

I'm just...
Staying in character.

Is that what it is?

I hope a slow song
won't be a problem.

I think I'll manage.

Are you kidding me?

I've had it.

What are you doing?

You're clearly
still in love with her!

You want my opinion?

Do I have a choice?

Maybe Nate was just
one more thing

for you to check off
your to-do list.

Do you want my opinion?

You are a surprisingly
good dancer.

Well, working in a kitchen
is a dance all on its own.

- You're not so bad yourself.
- Thanks.

This is such a beautiful song.

Yeah, I love this song.

You know,
I've got to hand it to you.

You're pulling off
your Vermont act surprisingly well.

Can I tell you a secret?

Maybe it's not an act.

You know, when I said that I
had everything I needed up here,

that wasn't entirely true.

What was missing?

- Derek?
- Mayor Sloane.

There are some people
from the governor's staff

that I'd love you to meet.

Come on.

- I'm sorry, Fiona.
- It's okay.

- Fancy meeting you here.
- Hi.

I've been wanting
to talk to you all night.

Okay.

Look...

I know that Derek is a nice guy
and all...

But, I mean, it's not serious
between you two, is it?

I don't know. Why?

Don't you see it, Fiona?

We both rebounded, and we bounced
right back into each other.

It's destiny.

- Nate, what about Haley?
- She stormed off.

She's headed back to New York.
It's over.

I was going to tell her
how I feel about you,

but apparently,
she figured it out.

Look, let's go back to the city.

We'll pick up where we left off.

It's always been us, Fiona...

At any speed.

I'm sorry, I have to go.

You sure are quiet tonight.

Just thinking.

- So I guess you got Nate back.
- What do you mean?

I saw you two holding hands.

No...
He just grabbed my hand.

I'd call that a "tell".

Does this mean you're
headed back to the city?

- No, I can't.
- Why not?

Because I haven't held up
my end of the bargain yet.

I think we can consider
our deal complete.

No, I haven't got you your field,
and I never break a promise.

It's okay.
I'm letting you off the hook.

What if I don't want you to?

And...

What about what you said to me
tonight at the dance?

Maybe we both got swept up
in the moment,

but my feet are planted here,
and yours are in New York.

That's just who we are, right?

Of... course, but...

And you deserve everything
you've worked so hard for.

Yes, young man,
I completely agree.

Irwin? What are you
doing up here?

Okay,
I'll be the first to admit,

I don't usually have to work
this hard to recruit top talent,

and I'm also someone who
doesn't give up so easily,

so I thought perhaps you and I can
discuss the terms of our contract

over a late dinner?

I'll get something
started for you.

Shall we?

I'm famished.

Returning to the scene of the crime?

- At least you didn't tear it down.
- I thought about it.

Darn thing's too well built.

Honestly, sir, we were just
trying to do something nice.

I'm really sorry, though,
if we overreached.

I'm actually headed
out of town soon, but...

I've got to hand it to you,

you're on a very, very short list
of sellers who I couldn't budge.

That so?

Yeah.

Let's just call it even.

You know what?

There's a big dinner
at the Inn tonight. I...

I'd love for you to check it out.
You could just...

Tell my dad that you're
stopping by, and it's my treat.

Don't you owe it to yourself
to at least give it a try?

Bye, Bessie.

Hey, how was your run?

Kind of turned
into more of a walk.

I sort of wanted to just look around
and, you know, have one last look

before I headed back
to the city later today.

Is something wrong, dear?

Irwin sent over a draft
of the contract, and it's...

I mean, this job is
a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Well, where's the smile, then?

I just...

Between Nate and the job and...

I don't know
what I want anymore...

And he wants me to sign, you know,
right when I get back to the city.

Well, don't rush a decision.

In your heart,
you'll know what's best.

No, I've already decided.

I told Irwin
that I accept his job offer,

so he's just tweaking some terms of
the contract, and, it'll be time to sign.

You know, I better go pack.

We have a problem.

- Derek?
- What is it?

A truck jackknifed, and the road's
closed between here and Montpelier.

There's nothing getting through
for hours,

including half my ingredients, and
all the extra kitchen staff I hired.

Okay, so what are we looking at?

Well, I've got no sous chef,
I got no extra staff,

half of my ingredients
are stuck in traffic...

I'm sorry, Harris.
I think we've got to cancel.

Cancel?
No, we can't cancel!

We've got half the food bloggers
in New England upstairs,

and they're going
to want dinner!

And with Irwin here,
my humiliation would be complete.

No one's canceling anything.

I thought you were headed
back to the city.

I am, but first, I think
we have a dinner to pull off.

"We?"

Yes! Me, you... Delia,
Angela... We'll all help out.

Fiona, that's sweet, but none
of you have any real experience.

You're good with details,
I'm good with speed.

You're going to need both.

What about all my ingredients?

Forget the menu, and we'll work
with what we have.

Yeah, the general store
is going to have things.

Exactly!

They'll have things,
and we'll just improvise,

and what about your
family's famous recipes?

You can use those.

Okay.

You know, Fiona,
you don't have to do this.

It's the least I can do...

And then
we'll call our deal even.

Okay.

All right, Delia, we'll have you
working front of house.

Brandon, Angela, after you're
done with salads and prep,

we'll move you over to serving,

if you think
you can work together.

We do.

Fiona and Harris,
we'll have you on the line.

Okay.

Okay, now, for the menu...

Ooh, tourtiere would be good.

- What's tourtiere?
- Meat pie.

French settlers brought it over
from Quebec.

It's very delicious,
very Vermont.

My grandma had an amazing one.

What about anadama bread?

Yes...

And fiddlehead ferns.

You know,
I think this might just work.

Pure Vermont home-cooking
raised to fine dining.

Yes, it's like
the yankee credo...

Make do with what you have.

Let's bring it in.

Go, team, go!

Work together, everyone.

We have to sync up
like an assembly line.

If we get behind
on even one item,

it will back up
the next 50 dishes.

Us cooking together?

Kind of takes me back.

Remember
Sunday barbecues on the balcony?

Your steaks, mom's potatoes,
my brownies.

How could I forget?

Okay, we've got two hours
till the guests arrive.

Let's get prepping.

Delia, I've been
looking all over for Fiona.

Okay, well, she's helping her dad
with something right now,

so why don't you sit with Irwin?

Do you mind if I sit him
with you here?

Yeah, I thought my eyes
were playing tricks on me.

You're a long way from Chelsea.

You're a long way
from Wall Street.

- Are you ready, Fiona?
- Yes!

It's just perfect.

- And go!
- Thank you.

All right, team,
let's keep up the work.

How's it going out there?

Okay, but you'll never guess
who just showed up.

Chauncey.

What? Why?

I...

I went over to apologize for the field,
and I invited him to be our guest.

I can't believe he said yes.

He's a thrifty New Englander,
and a free meal's a free meal.

Brandon?

How do you think it's going?

Well, I don't know,
but maybe we survived?

Well, I couldn't have
done it without you.

To... speed.

And yet, taking the time
to do things right.

Excuse me.

Chauncey is insisting
on having a word with you.

- Be my guest.
- You invited him!

Come on.

Okay, fine, we're
in this together.

All right.

Where's my hockey helmet
when I need it?

We're in for it.

Mr. Chauncey?
Was everything okay?

Okay?

It was...
Delicious.

Best meal I've had in years.

Really?

Anyone who can cook a dinner
like that is okay in my book...

Keeping Vermont traditions
alive.

I...
Thank you.

Someone said to me
recently that...

Good fences make good neighbors.

That might be true.

That field?

It's yours if you still want it.

Yes!

You can bring by
the papers tomorrow.

- Did that just happen?
- I think so!

Excuse me?

My compliments to the chef.

To both of them.

I have to say, that dinner
was worth the extra day.

Now I intend to beat my old rival
at a game of bridge.

Harris?

You're on.

I'll bid seven no trump,

and you'll go back to the city
with an empty wallet.

Yeah, good luck with that, pal.

Okay, Fiona, I'm leaving
first thing in the morning,

so you, young lady,

have a contract to sign
at my office tomorrow.

I'll be there.

Good.
It's gonna be great.

I guess we both
got what we wanted.

Yeah.

Thanks again
for your help tonight.

It's my pleasure.

I'll...

I'll leave you to it.

So, I was thinking,

if we start back early enough,

we'll beat the traffic.

Nate, I need to tell you...

We both need to move on.

Move on?

Yeah, I'm headed back
to the city with a fresh start,

and this new job, it's going
to be twice the juggling.

Yeah.

We'll make it work.

No, Nate, I...
I'm sure of this.

I came up here to clear my head,
and I did.

You were right, and
you deserve the right girl...

But I'm afraid
that girl isn't me.

- Hey.
- Hey! Are you packed?

I have to meet Irwin at his office first
thing tomorrow morning to sign the contract.

You know what? I'm glad we came
up here. It was the right call.

Yeah, it shook
things up a little.

Yeah, it did.

Fiona, would you mind if, um...

If I stayed up a little longer?

Brandon wants to show me around.

Angela, my brother and my
best friend? Of course not.

I'm happy for you.
I mean, it's a little weird, but...

Have you had a chance
to say goodbye to Derek?

He didn't give me a chance to.

No, he'd already taken off
early this morning.

I've got to go
say bye to my dad.

Good idea.

I can't believe
we pulled last night off.

I know.
What a night!

It was just a roaring success.

Well, we'll have to see
what the bloggers say, but...

In large part,
I've got you to thank.

Dad, come on.
It was a team effort.

I think it was more than that.

Well...

I should probably head out.

Promise me you'll come
and visit more often.

I'll try, dad.

I really will,
and you know what?

You and Delia should meet me
in the city sometime,

as much as
you don't like it there.

Is...
Is that what you think?

Well, yeah, look how far
you moved just to get away...

From everything.
From our apartment...

The past...
Our lives together.

Honey...

I know how much
you loved the apartment,

but I got a secret for you...

So did I,
noise and all.

So then why did you sell it
the first chance you got?

It was your mom's idea to sell.

She wanted to move up here
eventually.

She even found this place.

But mom...
Mom loved the city.

Yeah, she did,
and you want to know why?

Because we were there.

Look...

When your mom passed away...

I knew it was time
to live that dream...

For both of us,
since she was gone.

My only wish is that
we had done it sooner.

Why have you never
told me this before?

I know how much
you loved the old place, and...

I guess I'm just not very good
dealing with emotions.

Yeah...

That runs in the family.

When I was on Wall Street,

satisfaction was outfoxing Irwin
in some kind of business deal.

I never imagined

that running an Inn in Vermont
could be so much more satisfying.

I guess
you can surprise yourself.

Dad, how did you know you'd
end up being happy up here?

Sometimes...

You just have a feeling.

I think I know what you mean.

Fiona...

I thought you would've been
halfway back to Times Square by now.

I couldn't leave without
checking on our tree.

It's funny, I used to think the most
important thing was the building...

The city, the location.

I think it's part of the reason
I got into Real Estate.

Yeah?

I've realized something up here.

What's that?

It doesn't matter
if it's Manhattan or Vermont.

It's not the place
that's important.

It's...

It's the people.

It's the memories
that make a place truly special.

I think I could be happy
up here.

What about Nate?

He went back to the city.

Alone.

Hey, that's a pretty good haul.

Yeah.

I told you good things
come with time.

They certainly do.

Honey! Honey!

What's all the hubbub about?

The reviews are in.
It's "a tour de force".

"Vermont traditions with a new spin".
The bloggers are raving!

- Derek, you did it!
- No, no, we did it.

I am so happy for the Inn,
but I'll be sad to see you leave.

Don't be sad, dad.

You'll still have
one of your kids around.

Yeah. Where is Brandon?

Dad, I wasn't talking about Brandon.
I was talking about me.

You tell him the news yet?

Um, yeah, Brandon's going to
move into my apartment in New York

and get back into the game,
and...

Well, I'm going
to stay up here for a while...

Maybe a long while.

Wait.

You're... you're staying?

I told Irwin no.

- Really?
- Yeah.

Honey!

That'll be great!

I mean, who knows, maybe
I can lure some clients up here.

After all, this place
worked its magic on me.

That's fantastic!

Okay.

- Here it is, straight from the tree.
- To the table.

New England bread pudding,
and my...

And our maple syrup.

Don't hold your breath.

It's okay.

Some things are
worth waiting for.
