- Ms. Ebersol?

- Please, call me Elli.

And you must be Sandy?

- Everyone calls me
Nana.

- Okay.

- Let me help with your bag.
- Oh, that's okay. I got it.

Oof.

- Okay, come on inside.

I'll fix you some coffee.

- Oh, lovely.

- Welcome to the Sol-Mates
Bed and Breakfast.

- It's beautiful here.

I'm sure you're booked solid.

- Well, most years
we'd be booked solid

to start the summer,

but with the storm
that came through and all,

we haven't had as many people
vacationing this year.

Our town took quite a hit.

- That's actually
why I'm here.

The company I work for

is looking at development
opportunities in the area.

- Oh, interesting.

Does that mean you'll be
staying a while?

- I hope so.
- Ah.

Well, can I get you
something else?

A sandwich or something?

- No, thank you.

I should get going.

I have a meeting
with the mayor,

and I need to scout
the location first.

- Ah, sure, no problem.

Oh, listen,
if you get hungry,

check out
the Sand Dollar Café.

It's close
to the mayor's office

and has the best food
in town.

Perfect.

- Okay, so the parking lot
and land

are zoned for commercial use

with utility hookups
already in place,

which is fantastic.

The damage to the pier
near the shore

seems to be superficial.

But the damage at the end

seems to have broken off
in the storm.

I'm assuming the pier
is still closed to the public

due to safety.

That's the beginning
of the pier.

Hey! Hey, where'd you come
from?

- Piper!

Hey, I'm sorry.

Sorry about that.

Hey, Pipe, Pipe.

Go get it.

I'm sorry about that.

I didn't know anyone
was down here.

Piper loves to run
on the sand on our lunch break.

- Oh, what an angel.

- Thanks.
She's harmless, I swear.

I mean, unless licking people
to death counts.

- You know,
I hate to tell you,

but you know the pier's closed
to the public right now.

- Oh, yeah.

Uh, sorry,
I just couldn't resist.

- No, I get it.

This area does that to people.

Just sucks you right in, right?

You know, this is the heart
and soul of this town.

People have been coming
to this pier for generations.

It's a shame, what happened.

- I'm Elli.
- Oh!

Uh, I'm Brody. Sorry.

I own the bait and tackle
shop at the marina.

- Oh,
with the pier closed,

you must have taken
a real hit, huh?

- Yeah, a little bit.

But we still get people
fishing off the beach.

So, hey, I'll take any business
I can get.

- Maybe I'll do that sometime.

- What's that?
- Fishing.

Actually never
done it before.

- You've never fished?
- Mm-mm.

I didn't grow up
near the water, so...

- Okay, all right.

Duly noted.

When you're ready,

you know where to go.

First fishing pole rental
is free,

and you know what?

I might even throw in
a free lesson.

Okay?

- I might just do that.

- All right.

- It's really beautiful here.

- Yeah, it is.

- Hey, if I promise
to stay off the pier,

is it okay
if I keep exploring?

- Yeah, of course. Yeah.

Explore away.

- I'll see you around.

- Sure you will.

♪ ♪

- You can find a seat.
I'll be right with you.

Coffee?
- Please.

- I'm Pam.

- Elli.
- There you go.

- And this is my husband,
Tate.

- I just made clam chowder.
Can I fetch you a cup?

- Oh, no, thanks.
Just the coffee.

I'm actually heading over to
a meeting at the town hall.

- A meeting, huh?
Sounds official.

- Well, I'm with a real estate
development firm in Stamford.

We're looking to develop
some land in the area.

- Oh, you're the one.

We heard all about it
from my nana.

- So much for keeping
a low profile.

You want to buy a café too?

- Don't pay attention to him.
We're not selling.

- So I'm staying at your...

grandmother's
bed and breakfast?

- Yup, and Nana loves to talk.

I noticed.

- And she can be
a little nosy.

- Oh, I think I smell something
burning in the kitchen.

- That's my cue.

Nice to meet you, Elli.
- You too, Tate.

- Your dress is beautiful.
- Thank you.

Come here,
my little starfish.

How are you?

- Good. How about you?
- I am really good.

Elli, this is my daughter,
Milly.

- Pleased to meet you.

- Oh, pleased to meet you, too,
Milly.

- Elli is the one
staying at Nana's.

- Are you the lady
who's here to buy the town?

- Oh, well, I don't know
about the whole town,

but maybe a part of it, yes.

I was looking
at the pier today.

- My nana told me all about it.

- There really are
no secrets here, huh?

- Especially
in our family.

- My great-great-grandfather,
Ashley LeFay,

build the town pier
in the 1920s.

- So he was a merchant?
- Bootlegger.

And Ashley's grandfather
before him was a pirate.

- Might be a bit of a stretch,
sweetheart.

He was a buccaneer.

- Pirate, buccaneer,
same thing.

- Okay.

- Uncle Brody says

Ashley's grandfather
was lost at sea,

and he found a cove filled
to the brim with sand dollars.

- That's how the town
got its name.

Sand dollars
are really lucky.

- Uncle Brody says
Sand Dollar Cove

has more sand dollars than,
like, anywhere.

- Your uncle Brody?

I think I might have just
met him down by the pier.

- Oh.
- Does he have a dog?

- Piper.

She's the best dog
in the whole world.

- Okay, Milly, we got to stop
bothering Elli.

- Oh, no, no, no.
She's no bother.

I've enjoyed getting
a little history lesson.

How much do I owe you
for the coffee?

- Oh, it's on the house.

Think of it
as a welcome present.

- Bye!

- Bye!

♪ ♪

- Ms. Ebersol,
please have a seat.

Make yourself at home.
- Thank you, Mayor Conway.

I appreciate you taking this
meeting on such short notice.

- Oh, it's my pleasure.

So I understand that your
company is trying to acquire

some real estate
in the area.

- That's correct.

We're looking to develop
a resort hotel on the beach.

- That's great.
That's great news.

You know,

I want to show you
that Sand Dollar Cove

is the town for you.

I'll do everything in my power
to cut out the red tape

and to fast-track
your building permits.

- I appreciate that.

- You know, this is
a very tight-knit community.

People are very protective
of this town.

I understand that
you're inquiring

about a particular pier.

- Not quite.

We're just interested
in the land.

The pier would have to go.

- Ooh. Uh...

- You want to knock down
the pier?

Sorry I'm late, Holden.
Forgive me.

- Oh, that's all right.
I understand, Brody.

Brody Bradshaw,
this is Ms. Elli Ebersol.

- We've already met.

- Yes, we have.
It was delightful.

But I didn't know you wanted
to knock down the pier.

- I thought it was important
for Brody to be in this meeting.

You know, like I said,
we'll cut out the red tape.

- I'm sorry, there must be
a misunderstanding.

I thought the land was owned
by a Maggie and Josh Bradshaw.

- My parents.

They gave me
the land a year ago.

I just haven't gotten around
to registering the deeds yet.

- I thought you owned
that bait and tackle shop.

- I do.

The bait and tackle shop,
the pier,

and all the land
that goes with it.

So, if you want
to buy that land,

well, you're going to have
to talk to me.

♪ ♪

- You all right?

- Yeah. I met your grandson.

- Brody.

He's wonderful.

And smart and handsome.

- And stubborn.

- That too.

You won't meet too many men
like Brody Bradshaw.

He's my favorite grandson.

- Good to know.
I will keep that in mind.

- And don't let
his rough exterior get to you.

He's got sailor's blood in him,
after all.

Now, the Bradshaw men
aren't always good

about showing their emotions.

But underneath...

- Oh, no,
he's been very kind.

It's just that his land
is the site

where my boss would
like the resort to be,

so we're both kind of on
opposite sides of the table.

- Brody's loved that pier
ever since he was a little boy.

- Oh, he told me.

He said it was the heart
and soul of the town.

- Well, he's not wrong
about that.

That pier's been a part
of our history for a long time.

It's...

it's where people come together
to vacation and make memories,

whether it's...

whether it's catching
their first fish

or just hanging out
with friends.

Everybody's got
a favorite memory.

[warm music playing

I had my first kiss
with Brody's grandfather

right at the end
of that pier.

- That's very sweet.

- Well...

- Anna, good morning.
- Morning.

I heard McBride and Pearson

are sniffing around
the Connecticut coastline,

and you know what that means.

That this project has legs.

- Yes, and it means you need
to lock in Sand Dollar Cove

as soon as possible.

They will steal that land
right out from underneath us.

- Yes, about that.
We've hit a bit of a snag.

We're getting pushback
from the landowner.

- What does he want?
- He wants to preserve the pier.

He says it's the heart and soul
of the town.

- See if you can talk
some sense into him.

- I have a feeling
he means it.

- Okay, use your best judgment

to close the deal,
but get it done.

- Okay.

Hi.

You sweetheart.

- I just don't know how
you're going to pull it off.

- We have to.
- I know, I know.

We're going to try
real hard.

Good morning.

- Morning.
- Hey.

- Everything okay?

- Oh, yeah. Um...

Our parents host this big summer
jamboree party every year.

It raises money
for the local high school,

everything from field trips
to performing arts.

And this year would be
the 20th anniversary.

We might have to cancel it.

- Why?
- Well, the storm damage.

A lot of time and resources
went to cleaning up the mess.

Just got no money left.

- Sorry about that.

- Yeah. Thank you.

Oh, all right.
I need to get going.

- I wanted to talk to you
about your land.

When you have a minute,
that is.

- Uh, yeah, sure.

Um, I have some errands
to run,

but I'll be back
at Hook, Line & Sinker

in a couple hours, yeah?

- Okay, great. See you then.
- All right.

I'll see you soon, sweetheart.
- Bye, Uncle Brody.

- All right, ladies.

- Why are you looking
at Uncle Brody like that?

- Um...

oh, uh, well,
it's just that

I am here to build
a resort hotel,

and your uncle Brody's land is
right where we want to put it.

- Sounds like you're
in a bit of a pickle.

- You're right, Milly.

I couldn't have said it
better myself.

Nana!

- Ah.

- What seems
to be the problem?

- I can't seem to get online
this morning.

- Huh.

Uh, let me see
if you got a signal.

- I got us some iced tea.

- And voilà.

Seems that it was unplugged.

- Well, that's odd.
Here's your tea.

- I'm sure it's delicious.

- I had a nice chat
with our new guest this morning.

- Did you, now?
- Mm-hmm.

She sounds a little serious,

but I think she's got
a good heart.

- What makes you say that?

- A woman's intuition.

I told you you're
my favorite grandson.

- I'm your only grandson.
- Mm-hmm.

You're still my favorite.

And did she tell you
she wants to tear down the pier?

- Sure, and build a fancy
new beach resort on your land.

You be sure not to take
her first offer.

- I don't want
to sell at all.

But thank you so much for
the negotiating advice, Nana.

- Of course, honey.
Happy to help.

She's holding her room
for another two weeks.

- And?

- And she might need someone
to show her around, is all.

- Nana, I love you.

But, please, stop trying to set
me up with your houseguests.

- Why?

- Because it doesn't work
like that.

- Well, I set your father up
with your mother.

That seems to have worked out
just fine.

- It's just...

it's not a good time
for me right now, okay?

- You always have
one excuse or another.

It's never a perfect time,
dear.

But if you don't
grab life by the horns,

pretty soon it will
pass you by.

- Mm. Is that why
you unplugged the router?

- Excuse me?
- I know your tricks.

- Well, maybe I did
and maybe I didn't.

- Okay. Maybe you did,
maybe you didn't.

I got to go.
I love you.

I love you too.

Oh...

okay.

- I thought we were meeting
at the bait and tackle shop.

- We are.

I just had
to help Nana with something.

I'll see you in an hour?

- Yeah, I'll be there.
- All right.

♪ ♪

Hi!

- Perfect timing.

- For what?

- Your first fishing lesson.

Come on.

- You don't waste any time,
do you?

- Why would I?

All right.
Here, hold this.

- Okay.
- Thank you.

First, we need
to bait the hook.

- With what?

- Lures.

- You're joking, right?

- Of course not.
Never kid about bait.

Take him.
Now, careful.

- Okay.

Kind of ridiculous,
but all right, yeah.

- You know,
the crazier it looks,

the more they want
to eat it.

Now, be careful there.

She's got some daggers on her.
She'll get you.

- I'll remember that.

There.

What?

- I'm impressed.

- You're impressed?

- I assumed you'd stab yourself
at least three times by now.

Oh, careful.
- I'm nimble.

- I'll remember that.

Okay, now we need
to cast off the line.

- Yeah?
- So first,

you're going to open
the bail arm.

So pull that back.

Okay. Go ahead, put your finger
right here on the line.

There you go.

- Like that?
- Yup.

- Okay.
- And now, uh...

pull back and cast her off.

- Okay, hold on. Watch out.

I don't want to get you.

- There you go--oh.
- Hey! Wow.

Oh, okay.

Hey, now.

- Look at that. You did it.

- What now?
- We wait.

- Well, since we're waiting,

can you reach in that bag

and grab that envelope
that's in there?

- Uh, what is it?

- It's an offer.
- For the pier?

- No, just your land.

I don't need the pier.

- Okay.

But the pier
is on my land.

- I'm aware of that.

That is a lot
of bait and tackle.

- I mean,

you're not gonna get a better
offer than that, Brody.

- What makes you think
I want to sell?

- Well, your sister said
you don't have enough money

to fix the pier,

and if you can't fix it,
you can't charge for fishing.

- Mm.

- How long do you think you can
keep that up?

- I'll take out a loan.

Not to mention I've been
working as a boat builder,

so that helps.

- I'm just trying
to help you, Brody.

The deal will make you
very comfortable.

You won't have to worry

about Hook, Line & Sinker
anymore.

- I happen to like
Hook, Line & Sinker,

thank you very much.

- It'll provide a lot of jobs
for the community.

- That pier has been
in my family for generations.

I fished off it
when I was a kid.

And someday, my kids are going
to fish off it too.

- I didn't know
you had kids.

- I don't.

Not yet.

That pier was handed down to me.

It's my duty to preserve it
for generations to come.

- So you are dead set against
any sort of resort development.

- No, not at all.

Just any that knocks down
my pier.

Look, on your company's
website, there's a video.

- Yeah.

- I think it's your boss,
actually,

saying,
"Architecture is inseparable

from its natural environment."

- That's true,

but natural environment
includes the coastline,

not your pier.

- You should be able
to build for the future

while honoring the past.

Look, I'm sorry if it
messes up your plans,

but you're just going
to have to make some changes.

- All right, I'll see
what I can come up with.

- That's all I ask.

- When are you free next?

- Oh, I don't know.

Well, I'm going to the café
for dinner tonight,

if you'd like to join.

- Oh.

- Hey, oh, you've got a bite.

- Really?
- There we go.

Yeah, come on.

Get.

Come on, up and at 'em.
There we go.

Reel it in.
- Oh, oh, oh.

- Yeah?
- There we go. Oh, oh, oh!

- Got it.
- Oh!

- Oh, whoa, whoa!
- Look at you.

I'd say it's beginner's luck,

but I think you're just
a natural.

- I mean...

- Well, well.
Look at this.

You're early.

- I wanted you
to take a look at this.

- You know, we still have

a little bit of time
before dinner.

Let me show you around.

- Sure.

Sounds good.

- You know, I've been
meaning to ask you,

how did you get into
real estate development?

- My dad was an architect.
- Uh-huh.

- I used to tag along with him
on his site visits.

I loved seeing how
he saw his vision through.

- So you worked
for his company?

- No, he's retired
with my mom.

They moved to Florida,

and spend the rest of their days
playing pickleball,

drinking piña coladas
and playing cards with friends.

All right,
now that sounds like fun.

- I miss them, though.

- I'll bet.

So, why do you work
for a developer

when architecture's
your passion?

- Well, I used to work
for an architecture firm,

but I've always wanted to be
an architect and a developer,

so I found a role
with a company

where I could
potentially do both.

- Dual threat.

- Kind of.

I love designing.

Taking an idea
out of thin air

and creating
a vision for it.

It's only half the job.

But I want my designs to
be built without compromise--

or at least as little
as possible, anyway.

So go on.
I told you my story.

Now you.
- Okay. Uh, well...

My grandfather
was a lawyer.

He was the kind of guy that...

he would always stand up
for the little guy.

You know, a neighbor
had a problem,

they'd come to him.

He'd find a solution.

- Sounds like you had
Jimmy Stewart for a grandpa.

Yeah, close to it.

But of course I wanted
to be just like him.

Why wouldn't I?

So I went to law school.

Joined the biggest
law firm I could.

- Then what are you doing
back here?

- Well, it turns out
that big law firms

are more about
billable hours,

money,

than making
a positive impact.

- So you got burnt out, then.

Well, sure.

Yeah, I guess I did.

And then my dad,
he wanted to retire.

Pass the pier
down to me.

So I was already
at a crossroads.

Figured I'd come back
for a little while.

I was only planning on being
here a couple months.

- Well, I'm sure your parents
are happy to have you back.

- That's debatable.

No, I'm pretty sure.

I'm glad that my mom and dad
are finally getting to relax.

They're actually on vacation
in the Bahamas right now.

- Oh, fun.

- It's funny, I don't even feel
like they're on vacation,

I've been hearing
from my mom so much.

Although she's not trying
to check on me.

They're checking on Milly,
of course.

- Well, as she should.
She's adorable.

- Spitfire's more like it.

Just like her nana.

Wouldn't have it
any other way.

- Yeah, she told me all about
the sand dollars

and your ancestors and...

- And the history?
- Yes.

- You see, this is what
I'm talking about.

This is why places like the pier
are so important, you know?

Even for her, right?

She gets to know
where she came from.

Her roots.

Guess what?
- What?

- It's time for dinner.

♪ ♪

Mm.

- This is fancy.

- Yeah.

Pam and Tate keep this
for VIPs and family only.

- So now I'm VIP?

- No.

I'm family.

Well, I hope you're excited.

Tate is whipping up
his famous lobster roll--

best in Sand Dollar Cove.

- Sounds good.

- Vino?
- Yeah.

- You are not going to relax
even a bit, are you,

until I look
at that offer letter.

- I'm fine.

- Mm-hmm.

- But if you do,
you know, want to read it,

I won't stop you.

Okay.

Is there anything in here
about keeping the pier?

- Right. Um...

not exactly.

But I'm trying
to work with you,

'cause my boss doesn't think
it makes sense to keep the pier.

- What do you think?

- It doesn't matter
what I think.

- It matters to me.

- Well, from a developer's
standpoint,

tearing down the pier and
creating a private beach resort

would be the most
profitable option.

- What about from
an architectural standpoint?

- It depends on what you would
want to do architecturally.

It could be--

- Everything okay here, kids?

- Everything's fantastic, Tate.
- All right.

Give me a yell
if you need anything else.

- Oh, this looks good.
Thank you.

All right,
moment of truth.

- All right.

- How about this.

If you don't like this...
- Yeah.

- ...I'll give you the pier.

- Wow.

All right, I like this bet.
- This is how confident I am.

- Okay.

Here it goes.

Ready?
- Mm-hmm.

- Mm-hmm.

It's amazing.

- What'd I tell you?
What'd I tell you?

- I guess I don't get
that pier.

Dang.

- Not yet.

- What are you doing?

- Thinking.
- Thinking?

- Over your offer.

- Yeah?

And what am I supposed to do
while you're so busy thinking?

- Oh, you're supposed
to be figuring out

how to build your fancy resort
without knocking down my pier.

But if you're looking
for something to do

in the meantime,

you could take a look around,
get to know the area a bit.

In fact, I could
show you myself.

- Hmm, could you?

- Mm-hmm, if you ask nicely.

Please show me around,
will you?

- Ah, don't have
to ask me twice.

Let's go.

On your left...

Look around.

Tell me what you see.

- It was a wonderful old pier.

- It was.

And could be again.

- Expensive storm.

- It was.

I mean, she's been through
some big ones before.

But this one, man,
it was different.

Mother Nature
was flexing her muscles.

- I thought you were
getting a loan.

- Trying to get a loan.

- Well, if you can't
get a loan to fix the pier,

then what is the point?

- I'll build her myself...

piece by piece,
board by board if I have to.

It may take me
a few years...

But that pier's
still got life in her.

- Well, then I guess there's
nothing left to discuss.

- Unless...

- Unless?

- Unless maybe, just maybe,

you propose
an alternate location

for the beach resort
to your boss.

And in return,

I will do something
for you.

- Such as?

- I'll sell you the land
next to the pier.

And you can put some kind
of beach club

or whatever you want
for your resort guests.

- Okay.

I'll play along with you.

Where does the resort go?

- You see that land
right over there?

- Yeah. What is it?

- It's the town's
old oyster factory.

It's abandoned now,
so I'll bet the mayor

will get you a good deal
on the land.

- An oyster factory
doesn't exactly have

the same upside potential
as a resort on the actual beach.

You know that, right?

- I'm no architect,
but come on.

You can't tell me that's not
a beautiful location.

Come on.

- No, it is
right on the water.

It's closer to the main
shopping areas in town.

Yes.

There's room
for some development.

The retail spaces
and restaurants.

Okay, yeah.

- Exactly.

- But that doesn't
change the fact

that you're altering
our whole development.

- I'm a solution-oriented guy.
What can I say?

I'm just trying

- Laura, hi.

- Elli, how are things
in Sand Dollar Cove?

- That's why I'm calling,
actually.

So Anna said if I can
lock down this land,

I can pitch my designs
for the resort.

Since you've known Anna
the longest,

I wanted to get your advice.

- Fire away.

- So the landowner said
that if we move the resort

to an old oyster canning plant
next to the water,

he'll sell us a piece
of his land next to the pier

so we can build a beach club
for our resort guests.

- Hmm, Anna doesn't want
a beach club.

She wants a beach hotel.
- Yeah, I know.

That's what I told him.

The oyster plant
does not have a beach.

- What about the rest
of the community?

How do they feel
about the resort?

- Good, I think.

I mean, the area
could certainly use

an infusion of business.

- Well, maybe you could get
some of them

to talk some sense into him.

- I'll try.
It might take me some time.

- They're really excited
about this project, Elli.

You need to step outside the box
and find a creative solution.

This is your chance.

- I know.

All right, I'll check back in
with you later.

- Sounds good.
- Okay.

Excuse me.

I'm looking for Brody Bradshaw.

I heard he works here sometimes.

- Um...
- Every chance I get.

Tom, I want you to meet Elli.

- Pleased to meet you, Elli.
- You too.

Can I borrow him for a moment?
- Be my guest.

- Okay.

- Follow me.

Take it in.
Can you see it?

- How much of the oyster factory
does the town own?

- Well, pretty much
everything you can see

from the water over.

I mean, there's plenty of room,
you can see.

Resort, restaurants, retail.
Whatever you want.

Not to mention
the other side of that building

is the town's
main shopping area.

- It's not bad.
- Not bad?

Elli, it's fantastic.
Right on the water.

And I spoke to the mayor.
He's willing to play ball.

- Well, there's still
the problem with the beach.

People want to be able
to walk out to the water

and feel the sand
between their toes.

- That's true.
But it's an option.

Come on.

- I'm not sure yet.
I'm still working on that.

But I think it could be a way
for us to get some good press

in the local newspaper.

Work up some numbers
and we'll see.

- Okay.

Hey.
- How was your day?

- Fun. Brody took me out

- Oh, he must like you.

He doesn't take just anyone
out on that boat.

- No, it wasn't like that.

We were talking business.

- So, did you persuade him
your resort will be a good thing

for Sand Dollar Cove?

- Not yet,
but I'm helping him

get the summer jamboree
back on track for this year.

- That's marvelous!

It's my favorite event
of the year.

Tell me all about it
over dinner.

I made fish stew.

- That sounds wonderful.

- What do you think of the
changes I made to the website?

- Well, it's fantastic.

I guess I just sadly
don't see the point, you know?

- Well, we'll figure it out.
We'll ask for donations.

We can put it
on social media.

It may be small,
but it will be mighty.

- You're right.
You're right.

What can I say?

I mean, we still need something
to show everybody

that the summer jamboree's
the way we kicked off summer

for the last 20 years.

Not to mention how good it is
for the high school programs.

- Yeah. Do you have
any old photographs?

- Uh, sure, yeah.

Um...

Oh, yeah.

Right here.

Look at that.

Grandpa and I won

the sandcastle-building

- I love that one.
It's perfect.

Okay. Well, then...

the new question is,

how are we going
to drive traffic to the site?

- You know,
I've been thinking about that,

and I have a high school buddy
who works on the tourist board.

- Oh, uh...Carl Larson.

- Yeah. You remember him?
- Yeah, yeah.

- Yeah.

Well, I was thinking
maybe he could put a link

- Yeah. Yeah, I mean,
I spoke to Dad.

And he said
it's my decision.

- Oh.

You're just taking
your sweet time about it?

- Because it affects
a lot of people.

- Uh-huh, yeah.

Or maybe you just want
her to stick around longer.

And why do you say that, Pam?
Hmm?

- Oh, because I haven't seen
you look at anyone

the way you look at Elli

in a really, really, really
long time.

- Okay, you got me there.

Pam, you got me.

But, like,
it doesn't matter.

It doesn't, because if this
deal goes south--

and it's kind of looking
that way--

she's just going to move on
to the next town

and we'll never
see her again.

Stamford's, like, an hour away.

- It's too complicated.
Okay?

- No, it doesn't have to be.

You like Elli.
Elli seems to like you.

opportunity for you, Elli,

not so you can change

but I think that we should

either reconsider our plans
or find an alternative location.

Thought I'd seen everything

mistaken it for his.

- Oh, no.

my whole life.

And he had just moved
to Sand Dollar.

He was so excited
to be here.

And we started
spending time together,

and I got to see this place...

in a whole new light
through him.

So I stayed.

- Someone had
to show him around, right?

- Right.

That was nine years ago.

- Now you have Milly.

- Yeah, we do.

- Do you ever wonder
what would have happened

if you'd gotten
on that bus?

- Oh, sometimes.

But not in a way
that makes me feel like

I missed out on anything.

We actually went to Europe
on our honeymoon.

Yeah, it was so nice
to experience that with Tate.

When I think about it,

if he hadn't have grabbed
my bag right then,

I could have just missed out
on my everything.

I chose to stay.

I wouldn't change it
for the world.

You know, home is where
the heart is.

My heart is here.

There you go.
- Thanks.

Shh!

- She sure does love Brody.

- All kids love Brody.

It's because he practically
is one himself.

You want me to take her?

- No, no. She's fine.
Go finish up.

- I'm just going to help Tate
finish up in the kitchen.

What you doing?

- I am just working
on some ideas

for a booth that I was
thinking about sponsoring.

- This looks great.

- Thank you.

I call it my Pay It Forward
Foundation.

Basically,
members of the town

can sign up for things
they need done,

as well as offer any special
skills that they might have.

You know, for instance,
an accountant

can offer a free tax job
to a family in need,

or an elderly couple.

They might need
their lawn mowed.

So it's just simple stuff.

People helping people.

It's something my grandfather
started a while back,

and I thought
I'd resurrect it.

- I see the first item listed

is a free
estate planning package

by a Mr. Brody Bradshaw.

- Somebody had to go first.

- That's the best idea
I've heard in a long time.

- Thank you.

- Looks like that baby
needs a nap.

- Oh. Snag her.
- Thanks, love.

- Here we go, sweetie.

Two, three.

Oh!

- It was so nice
to talk to you.

- You too.

- Good night, all.

- Is, uh, Nana cooking dinner
for you?

- Didn't mention anything.

- I got it.
- Got what?

- Dinner.
I'll make us something.

- Oh, you can cook.

- Simple stuff.

- I can't believe
you're actually cooking for me.

- Why not?

Come on, it's the least
I could do.

All the work you've been doing
with us to help the jamboree.

- I'm having a good time.

- I'm glad.

I want to thank you,
by the way.

Seriously.

For shaking things up
for me.

- What do you mean?

- Well, how do I say this?

Ever since I've gotten
back here,

I guess I've just been kind of

going through the motions,
you know?

Um, I went to law school
because I wanted to help people.

And somewhere
along the line,

I think I forgot that.

You reminded me.

So...thank you.

- You're welcome.

And thank you.

- For what?

Being a pain
in your neck?

- Well, you certainly
challenged me

to come up with new ideas.

New ways of seeing a project.

I think that's why I became
an architect in the first place.

- Well...

I'm glad I could be of service.

And dinner is served.

- Cheers.
- Ah. Cheers.

Mmm.

I think this might be better

That's big praise.
- No, seriously.

Where'd you learn
how to cook?

this café.

Yeah.

So I used to have a summer job

Now we just got to relax,

Oh! Whoa, whoa, whoa!

- You're soaking wet.

Oh!

Oh, well, in public.

- So?
- I don't know.

I don't want people to think
that I was trying

- Well, aren't you?
- Aren't I what?

- Trying to romance my pier

- Hey, you kissed me first,
remember?

- Oh, that's true.

- Brody!
- Let's do that again.

- Brody!

Nana, uh, we were, uh...

- Just looking
for you and Milly.

- Yeah.
- Listen up.

My friends think this is
the best summer jamboree ever.

- Well, yeah, they should.

Your uncle Brody's been
just working around the clock

to get it set up.
- Well, that's funny.

He said the same thing
about you.

- All right, well,

I'd better go
check on the band.

- I think you ought to change
out of those wet clothes first.

- You look like a soggy dog.

- Thank you, Milly.

I got an extra shirt
in the car.

- All right, honey.
- I'll be back.

- Bye, Uncle Brody.
- Come on.

You guys wanna play some games?
- Yeah!

having a good time.

I want to say welcome,
each and every one of you,

to the 20th--count it!

20th annual Sand Dollar Cove
summer jamboree.

You know, I got to say,

give yourselves a round
of applause, because...

...between the ticket sales,
the donation page,

we have raised a record,

record amount
of money this year.

That's all you.
Thank you.

Thank you, thank you.

We've raised enough money

to fund all the extracurricular
activities

for the high school programs
for the entire year.

You know,
after the storm damage,

it didn't look like we were
gonna have a jamboree this year.

So we got a lot of people
to thank.

First and foremost,
let's thank Anna Walters

from New England Design
and Development.

Anna, thank you for sponsoring
the party.

That's right!

And while I don't have time
to go ahead

and thank each and every one
of you that's helped--

and trust me,
there's a lot of you.

Now, there's one person
in particular

I do want
to acknowledge tonight.

Can everyone please
put their hands together

for Ms. Elli Ebersol.

We couldn't have done it
without you, Elli.

That's right.

All right, enough of that.
Enough of that.

Tonight is about
the high school.

It's about family.

It's about food.

It's always about food.

But right now,
it's about great music.

So would you please all give
a warm welcome

to the Sensational Sand Dollars.

Anna. Hi.

- How's it going?
- Great.

We raised a record amount
for the high school.

Brody even thanked you
in his speech.

- Well, that's not
what I was talking about.

Do you think
he'll change his mind?

- Did you have a chance to look
at the oyster factory?

- Yes, I looked at it.

But it's further from the beach
than I thought.

- It's a short bike ride.

- Elli, you've gone
above and beyond

trying to make this resort work
in Sand Dollar Cove.

If we can't build on the beach
in Sand Dollar Cove,

I'd prefer to go
somewhere else.

- That's a real shame, Anna.

I think that we're making
a mistake by not--

- I'm not asking you to agree.
I'm asking you to do your job.

- Yeah, no, of course.

- Great.

Either Brody
sells us his land,

or we move on
to another town.

I'd like you back
in the office tomorrow

to start evaluating
new locations.

- Okay.

Okay, good night.

- Everything okay?

Anna won't approve

moving the resort
to the oyster factory.

Like I thought.

I'm really sorry.

- Okay.

Hey, you tried.

And I appreciate that.

- She wants me back
in the office tomorrow

to start evaluating
other locations.

- That's soon.

- These last couple weeks
have been really amazing,

getting to know you.

- Hmm.

- But I got to get back to...

Real life.

- What are you talking about?

I mean...

we could still try
to give this a chance.

You're only in Stamford.
It's not that far away.

- Yeah, but I don't know
if the development

will bring me elsewhere,

and I don't know
if I'll be able to visit.

It's complicated.

- Oh.

Okay.

I see.

- I really like you, Brody.

I should probably go back.

I'm sorry.

I did.

- Elli, hi. Come on in.

I was just sending you details
on a North Carolina location.

- What if we could still build
the resort on the beach

in Sand Dollar Cove?

- Meaning?

- I want to show you something.

- Who authorized this?
- I did it on my own time.

- I don't like you going
behind my back, Elli.

- Well, frankly, I knew
if I asked you'd just say no.

I wanted to share my vision
with you in person.

- Share your vision?

- Piper.

You want your stick?
Go get that!

doing here?

- I missed Piper.

- You never returned
any of my calls.

- Yeah, I wanted
to speak with you in person.

- Oh, that sounds ominous.

Okay, listen, listen,
before you say anything,

can I get something
off my chest?

- Okay.

- Nana.
- Mm.

- She reminded me that life's
not just about buildings

or places or piers.

It's about being
with people you love.

It's about making new memories,
going after your dreams.

I don't want to see this pier
get torn down, I don't.

But I do know
that a new resort

will be good for this
entire town.

I trust you.

And I know that whatever
you are going to build here

will be beautiful.

So I spoke to my family,

and I have decided
to sell you the land.

No strings attached.

- Brody, I came here
to tell you--

- Just think about it, please.

Maybe...

it's time I let it go,
you know?

Having this entire experience
has reminded me that...

I do want to carry on
my grandfather's legacy.

Selling you the land will
give me the money to do that.

- That's fantastic.

- I like you, Elli.

I do.

Ms. Elli Ebersol.

It's been a long time
since I felt this way.

And I just really hope
that we can find a way

to make this work.

- Brody...

you don't have to give up
the pier.

- Wait, what?

- I worked up a new concept
last night,

keeping the pier intact
and as a centerpiece.

- You're serious.
- Yes.

Instead of tearing it down,
we're going to repair it.

Anna just approved
all the changes.

I'm going to be designing
and project managing

the new resort
here in Sand Dollar Cove.

You did it.

You--wow.

- I mean, I'll still be based
out of Stamford, but...

you'll be seeing
a lot more of me.

- I like the sound of that.

Come here.

But, wait...

and how long did you say

that this project
would take to build?

- Mm...

Two years.

- Wow.

I'll take every minute
I can get.

- Me too.
