All we need on
the Nanny Project

is to get their signatures
on pages two, seven, fifteen

have Melissa make copies
when you're finished

and leave a copy on my desk.

That leaves us with the
Pacifico Nachitas campaign,

which is the most important.

It is indeed.

Ernesto Chavez is our
most important client.

I know.

I've emailed explicit
instructions to both of you

and your assistants on how to
finish up the presentation.

I'll proof it when I'm back

and we can officially
present next week.

Rose, he's expecting this
presentation this Friday.

Well, I'm sure Mr.
Chavez will understand.

I'll be back on Wednesday
after the funeral.

Rose, I really think you
should postpone this trip.

I wish I could, Lance,
but this is my mother.

She was the only family I
had left besides my daughter.

Well, I told him we
could break for a day.

Can't you compose yourself
and deliver as promised?

Compose myself?

I know it's a big
ask, but we need to finish

this campaign by this
Friday if we're gonna meet

media deadlines by
the Christmas season.

And you know what would happen

if you didn't meet a deadline.

Lance, I've been
here six years.

I've never missed a deadline.

You two are both partners
of Howser and Budewitz.

You don't need me to
complete this campaign.

I can't see why you wouldn't
help me out on this.

Rose, we wouldn't ask if
there was any other way.

Look, you're a big
girl, you'll be fine.

A big girl.

It's just two more days.

My mother's wake is
in Lake Placid tonight.

And if
you left right now,

you definitely would
not meet your deadline.

I would if you would help me.

If I don't leave now,

there's no way I'll
make it upstate in time.

I should have left yesterday,

but I wanted to make sure

you had everything
prepared for you to finish

Rose, the truth is, we,
we can't do it without you.

And we understand it's
a difficult time for you,

but you leaving really
does hurt this company.

I've given this
company everything.

A little bit of
compassion would be nice.

Okay, normally,
we would not ask you

to do something like this, okay,

but this is a very
unusual circumstance

and, yes, the timing stinks,

but not only is he
our biggest client,

that account is our
most profitable account,

so compassion is not
gonna get our work done.

We need you to stay until
this presentation is finished.

I don't think you
get how hard this is.

Maybe you can
work on it tonight

and have it done by tomorrow.

You misunderstand, Charles,

I won't work for a company

that puts deadlines
before a family.

So are you gonna tell
me what's going on?

Try outs are right after break
and I wanted to practice.

Grandma passed away.

Oh,

I'm sorry.

When?

The day before yesterday.

Mom, why don't you tell me?

You knew she was sick, honey.

But she was just
here for Thanksgiving.

I thought she was doing better.

So did I.

You know, Grandma,

she wouldn't have
wanted us to worry.

You should have told me that
she died when you found out.

I didn't wanna upset you

while you're finishing
up your exams.

This is a little more
important than some stupid test.

Grandma wouldn't want
you to fail on her account.

Besides, there's nothing you
could have done from home.

So does this mean we're
finally going up to Lake Placid?

Yes.

When?

Now.

I need to pack.

I already did.

I stopped by home before
coming to get you.

Oh.

Is there anything else I can do?

Well, do you mind spending
Christmas break in Lake Placid?

No, Mom, that's awesome.

I mean,

I'm really sorry about Grandma

and I'm really gonna miss her,

but I wanted to visit her
in Lake Placid forever.

I know.

I should have brought
you there sooner.

It's okay.

I'm sure she's looking down
from heaven and smiling on us.

Let's go.

Really, Mom?

Pastor Shavens said he'd
leave it onto the mat for us.

Rose.

It's so great to see you.

Pastor Shavens.

And don't tell me
this is Little Lily.

Well, honey, I haven't seen you

since you were knee
high to a grasshopper.

Come here.

Well, don't just stand
up there in the cold,

come on into your new home.

What do you mean
your new home?

Well, Dahlia left
Sunburst Cottage

and all of its
contents to you, Rose.

You inherited everything.

- Everything?
- Yep, the entire estate.

I know you're close, but how
do you know this and I don't?

I was her estate attorney.

I thought you were her pastor.

I am.

I'm also a lawyer.

I wear a lot of different
hats in this town.

Can I sell the house?

Well, that's up to you, Rose.

I'd take some time to
get to know Lake Placid.

It's been a long time since
you've really been home, Rose.

A lot of things have changed.

Are Summer and
Everett still here?

Well, of course,
as a matter of fact,

Summer works in my
real estate office.

You're a real
estate agent too?

A broker actually.

Oh, so I can come to
you to sell the house.

Mom, you can't sell the house.

I'm just looking
as an option, Lily.

Our lives are in New York City.

Do you know how much of a
change would be to move here?

Well, give it some time.

Lake Placid might grow on you.

Did you do all this
Christmas decorating for us?

No, that was your grandma.

She just loved Christmas.

Decorated her whole house
the day after Halloween.

I remember.

Well, I'll let you
ladies settle in.

I'll see you in a couple
of hours at the wake.

Yeah.

Well, thank you for
helping me put it together.

Just surprised we couldn't
find a funeral home.

A funeral home for Dahlia?

No way.

She would've hated that.

She wanted people to
celebrate her life,

not mourn her death.

The Wooden Spoon is perfect.

It was her favorite haunt.

Maybe she'll haunt
it for real now.

Lily.

Well, I see you have your
grandmother's sense of humor.

Whatever you do,
don't wear black.

She would've hated that.

Yeah, you're right.

This place is so cool.

Well, see you later, ladies.

Oh I, I nearly forgot.

I found this in a stack of
Christmas cards Dahlia addressed

and I figured I'd give
it to you in person.

Thank you.

See you in a bit.

My darling
daughter, Rose,

wishing you the
Merriest Christmas yet.

I wish we could spend
more time together.

I'm so very proud of you.

Love always, Mom.

I'm really gonna miss her.

So will I.

She was an awesome grandma.

Should have spent
more time with her.

Rose?

Rose?

I can't believe you're here.

Well, obviously you'd be here,

but I can't believe
you're actually here.

I'm so happy to see you.

Oh my gosh, after all this time,

you haven't even changed a bit.

So good to see you too.

Do you remember Lily?

No, that is not Lily.

What are you, 12 now?

15.

No, you're not.

Stop it.

Come ive Auntie Sum a hug.

Auntie Sum?

Auntie Summer.

Summer Pearson.

I know your mom
told you about me.

I haven't seen you since
you were like three.

Don't tell me you didn't
tell your daughter about me.

Of course I have.

Lily, Summer was my best
friend when I was growing up.

I told you about her, remember?

Hey, I'm still
your best friend.

Just, you know,
that never changed.

I mean, maybe you haven't
visited in a little bit,

but you're still my best friend.

Thank you.

Why didn't you come back,

like I really missed you.

I know, I just, I know I
just didn't feel comfortable.

Is it 'cause of Danny?

Do we have to talk
about this right now?

It's my mother's wake.

No, I guess not.

I mean, your mom never
really liked Danny anyway.

- Really?
- Summer.

Really.

Can we please talk
about this another time?

Yeah, I mean, you
know where I live.

No, I don't think I do.

Rose, of course you do.

I bought my mom's place

back when she moved to
Florida a few years back.

At least I thought I told you.

Oh, sorry.

No, no, no, no.

Summer, I should
have got back to you.

Stop, no, no apologies.

We'll just pick right
up where we left off.

So, all right, let me
take you two around

because there's a lot of people

that wanna offer
their condolences.

Hey folks, you might
wanna head inside.

We're about to say a
few words about Dahlia.

Well, I'm sorry.

They're closed for a
private event tonight.

I know.

Can I help you with something?

You can get out of my way.

Well, you see, there's
a guest list for tonight

and everyone who's on
it is already here.

I'm her long lost son-in-Law.

Ah, former son-in-Law.

Daniel Cooper.

See, I am on the guest list.

No, you're not.

Dahlia specifically said,

and I quote "If that bum Danny
Cooper tries to get in here,

"you send him packin'."

That Dahlia, she had such
a good sense of humor.

I will call the authorities
if I have to, Mr. Cooper.

You're not welcome here.

And exactly who are you?

Tim Shavens, attorney at law.

I'm the executor
of Dahlia's will.

Ah, well, I suppose I
was going to come see you.

How much did she leave, Lily?

Nothing.

I don't believe that.

Well, Dahlia left everything
to Rose so that you wouldn't,

as she so eloquently put it,

get your hooks into what is
rightfully Rose and Lily's.

So you admit Lily's
entitled to something.

Not from Dahlia she's not.

But I'm sure her
mother will share

what she inherited with her

Sunburst Cottage
is worth a fortune

and you better believe
I'm gonna get my piece

after everything I
did for that family.

From what I understand,

the only good thing you did

for the McCreedie
Family was leave.

But you're welcome to try.

You have a nice night now.

Can I have your
attention please?

Can I have your
attention please?

Good evening, everyone.

We come together tonight
to celebrate the life

of Dahlia McCreedie,
not to mourn her death.

As you look around the room,
you see all of the people

that Dahlia touched
and meant something to.

It was her wish that everyone
that came tonight celebrate,

smile, and enjoy themselves.

Now, Dahlia always used to
tell me that she kept tissues

in that sack of a purse of hers

because she couldn't
stand seeing people cry,

mainly because it
led to drippy noses.

Yeah, the last thing
Dahlia would've wanted

was for any of us to shed
a tear over her death.

Sure, we're all gonna miss
having Dahlia in our lives,

but our memories of her
will live on in our hearts

and minds forever,

so let's keep Dahlia alive

by sharing stories about
her tonight and always.

To Dahlia.

To Dahlia.

As all of you know,

Dahlia had a
daughter named Rose.

Little miss Rose was prom
queen when she graduated

and voted most
likely to succeed.

You were?

Shh.

It comes as no surprise

that Rose worked her way up
in a fancy marketing firm

in New York City while raising
in an incredible daughter.

Aww.

Dahlia was so proud of you.

I'm sure she's smiling
down on us tonight,

seeing how you've finally
came back to Lake Placid.

Why don't you come up
here and say a few words.

Go ahead, Mom.

Wow, okay.

Hi, I wasn't expecting to
have to say anything tonight.

It's so nice to see
how much Mom was loved

by everyone in this town.

When my dad passed, who
I'm sure welcome my mom

right at the pearly gates,

it was just me and my mom.

I was prom queen.

'cause it was my mom who
made the posters for me.

My mom was the one who
encouraged me to get that degree

and go after that marketing job.

Yeah, the big marketing
job in Manhattan.

That doesn't matter anymore
because Mom is gone.

I lost her, I lost my job,
my husband walked out on me.

To Dahlia.

To Dahlia.

Ros.

I'm so sorry, Sum.

I didn't mean to say all that.

It's no one's business.

You could have
told me, you know?

I know.

I'm so sorry that I
wasn't there for you.

Rose, you are my best friend.

You always have been,
you always will be.

I've haven't been
a very good friend.

You're here, aren't you?

Pull yourself together, okay,

get in there like
nothing even happened.

I'm so embarrassed.

Don't be.

You lost your mom.

You're emotional.

We all are.

I don't know how
you do it, Sum.

Do what?

Be yourself like that.

Well, if I wasn't myself,
then who would I be?

Come on, silly, it's
freezing out here.

Yeah, yeah, okay.

Come on.

I hope your mom's okay.

I'm sure she's fine.

My mom's the strongest
person I know.

She's just had a
lot hit her today.

Yeah and I didn't help any.

I feel terrible.

Don't.

It's okay, Pastor Shavins.

Rose, please call me Tim.

I genuinely didn't know.

I just assumed that-

Well, you know what,
assuming does, Tim.

That I do.

You ladies have a nice night.

Mom, are you okay?

I will be.

I've never seen you
lose it like that before.

Ooo, I have.

You have?

Have not.

Oh, yes, I have.

Remember when Marcy
Carlyle took your pompoms

right before homecoming
in ninth grade?

Epic meltdown.

Over pompoms?

Really, Mom?

Okay, okay, I was the only
freshman in the varsity squad.

It was a lot of pressure.

Okay, well, what
about the time

that your computer froze

right before you
had to turn in that,

that economics research paper?

No way.

I needed to graduate.

Mr. Hanson wasn't
taking any excuses.

Okay, well, well
then what about that-

Okay, okay, okay,

so I may have had some
emotional moments,

okay, but I've learned to
control them as I've matured.

I'll say.

Sometimes I think
you're part robot.

Oh, wow, Rose, one
extreme to the other, huh?

I think you and I have a
lot to talk about, Auntie Sum.

I have waited so long
to hear you call me that.

Oh.

I will tell you everything
you wanna know about your mom.

Oh, no, you won't.

Too late, let's go.

Hi.

I'm sorry about your mom.

Oh, thank you.

Did you know her?

Not very well.

She would come in
every now and again.

She was always very nice to me.

Oh, thank you
for the kind words.

Here, this is for you.

It's a Shirley Temple.

Thanks.

This is what my mom
would always get me

to make me feel fancy.

Yeah, the bartender
said to bring it to you.

Is that Everett Waters.

Sure is.

Let me know if you
need anything else.

Thanks.

Everett Waters as
I live and breathe.

Hey, Rosie.

It's good to see you again,

although wish the
circumstances were better.

What in the
world are you doing

slinging drinks in this place?

I wanted to be
here for Dahlia.

Thank you.

So how are you?

Like you couldn't tell
from my little outburst?

Eh, pretty sure
I'd be the same way

if either of my parents died.

I guess.

I'll be fine eventually.

You always were.

Some things never change.

Table four
needs another round.

Well, it looks
like duty calls,

but it was really
good seeing you again

and don't be a stranger, okay?

Okay.

What smells so good?

I made french toast and bacon.

Wow, you haven't
made that in a while.

Oh, I found
Grandma's recipe book,

so I thought I'd
give hers a try.

Do we have any syrup?

Look in the pantry.

Grandma made jam.

Yeah, it's a
little hobby of hers.

Did you find some?

Yeah, blueberry, look.

What are you doing today?

Well, Summer
asked me to lunch.

That's great.

It looked like she
really missed you.

Mm, I know,

but I wanna try and get
things in order here

so we can sell the house.

Are you sure
you wanna do that?

Well, as much as I'd like to,

I can't exactly have
a vacation home, Lily.

It's too much to
rent our apartment

and worry about the
upkeep of this place.

What's keeping
you in New York?

Well, that's where
we built a life.

Have we though?

Of course we have.

That's where all
your friends are.

Gabby was my best friend

and she moved to
Texas last year.

I still talk to her
every single day though.

Okay, but you go to
school in New York.

You're just a sophomore.

School is school.

I can graduate anywhere.

Lily, making a move
like that isn't so easy.

A lot of thought
has to go into it.

I don't know, Mom.

It seems like a
better place for us.

You don't have a job anymore,

school hasn't been the
same since Gabby moved,

neither one of us really
have friends in New York.

We have plenty of friends.

Not close friends like Summer

and that guy you're talking to.

That guy is your father's
best friend from high school.

Even though we came
up here for sad reasons,

you seem a little happier.

I do?

Maybe just lighter.

I don't know.

Maybe this is God's
way of telling you

that we need a change

or Grandma's way of telling you.

She always wanted us here.

See.

It's an awfully
big change, honey.

I can't make a decision
like that so quickly.

You don't have
to make it quickly.

We can stay here the whole
Christmas break, right?

Lily, nine days is quickly.

People plan for changes like
that for months, if not years.

All I'm saying is I'm open
to giving it a shot if you are.

When did you get so mature?

Good morning, Rose.

Hi, Pass, Tim.

This is a surprise.

Come on in.

Oh, I can't, but thanks.

This'll just take a minute.

Oh, how can I help you?

Well, our annual
Christmas bazaar

is after church on Sunday.

I'm sure Lily
and I can stop by.

Oh, that's not why I'm here.

It's not?

Well, no, you see your mom
committed to making 200 jars

of jam for the bazaar.

200 jars?

Yeah, I'm sure
she started already.

I was wondering if you
happened to find them?

Well, I haven't seen 'em
anywhere, but I'll look.

Well, I'll take
whatever you can find.

They're the biggest
hit of the bazaar.

- They are?
- Absolutely.

People wait all year long to
buy her jar full of Christmas.

That's what she called her jam.

Cute.

Well, if I find it, I'll
bring it to the church.

Well, I hope you do.

We make a thousand dollars
from her jam alone.

$1,000 from jam?

Yeah and the church
could really use it.

Well, you and the church
meant so much to Mom.

I'll look for it right away.

- Thank you.
- Sure thing.

What are you looking for?

Grandma's jam.

It's still on the counter.

No, it's more than that.

Tim just stopped by
to see if we had it.

If we had Grandma's jam?

Hundreds of jars of it, Lily.

Grandma was apparently
known for a jam

and sold it the annual
Christmas bazaar.

That's so cute.

Oh, it's more
than cute, honey.

Raised about a grand
for the church.

Well, it's not in the pantry.

I noticed.

If I were a jar of
jam, where would I be?

Hello.

This stupid.

Tim?

Will you just?

Is that you?

Oh, come on.

No way that didn't just happen.

Oh, is now a good time?

Oh, hey Rose.

I didn't hear you coming.

Are you sure
now's a good time?

Yeah, I was just having
a fight with the furnace.

Well, it looks like
the furnace is winning.

Yeah, well, it'll
be all right though.

I'll figure it out.

Is that the jam?

Yes, a whole carload of it.

200 jars.

Oh, that's wonderful.

I'll help you bring
the rest of it in.

Tim, don't you think
you need a professional?

To carry jars?

Don't be silly.

No, I mean, for the furnace.

Yeah, I worked in an
HVAC company in college.

It's just a little puff back.

Oh, that doesn't
sound very good.

It's really nothing.

We had it inspected
a few months ago,

and it's an old
furnace, but it works.

I'll get it replaced someday,

but I have to get
the roof done first.

Yeah, get it done
one way or another.

The good Lord will provide.

Well, come on, let's carry
the rest of those jars in.

That's the last of it.

Well, thank you for bringing
this by so quickly, Rose.

Everyone loves this jam.

And Mom loved this church.

I wonder if I could get a
continuous donation going

by maybe starting a side
business with her recipes.

Well, God bless
you for even thinking

about doing something like that.

No, no, no.

I'm not promising anything, Tim,

it's barely even
a seed of an idea.

Well, you know what
they say about seeds.

That they grow into plants?

Something like that.

If you have faith the
size of a mustard seed,

you can move mountains.

Well, it's gonna take
a mountain of blueberries

to make the amount of
jam we are gonna need

to get you a new
roof and furnace.

Well, the Lord heard
you put it out there.

You never know what
he might do with it.

I'll see you on Sunday, Rose.

Bye.

Oh, good luck with the furnace.

Rose, hey, over here.

- Hey.
- Hi.

I didn't think you were coming.

Sorry, I got caught
up looking for Mom's jam

for the Christmas bazaar.

Oh, I see you found it.

Yeah, Summer,

there were literally hundreds
of jars of it in the basement.

Oh, well, I'm not surprised.

Your mom's jam's
really the best.

I know.

I've never tasted
anything like it.

I've just dropped a car
full off at the church.

Good.

I didn't think we were
gonna have any this year.

I mean, people come to
the bazaar super early

just so they can buy it.

Really?

Yeah, there's even a limit
to how many you can buy.

Only three per a person.

You're kidding.

No, I mean, people can't
seem to get enough of it.

I had no idea.

Had no idea about what?

My mom's jam.

Mmm, Christmas in a job.

See?

Is that some of it?

Yes, I was hoping to get
a meeting with the owner

to try and get on the menu or
something to test the market.

Mmm, blueberry's my jam.

That's my favorite.

Well, you can have it
if you get me a meeting.

Oh, Rose, Everett.

Yeah, tell you what,
lemme see what I can do.

You think you could fill
an order for say 50 jars?

- 50?
- Is that not enough?

I don't know if
I have that many.

Oh, do you have
your mom's recipes?

Yes.

I found her recipe
book this morning.

I'll help you make it.

And I'll get the
order before you leave.

We'll see.

You and Lily can
make it together.

That'll be so fun.

I'll be back in a bit.

Are you ladies ready to order?

Yeah.

It was great catching
up with you, Sum.

I'll admit it, I've missed you.

I knew it.

It's been so great
having you back home.

I don't know how
long we'll be here.

What?

Well, that's too bad.

I hoped you'd come
back for good.

I don't know.

Lily and I have already built
up a life in New York City.

Well, you can always get
your life back on track here.

I didn't mean it
like that, Rosie.

I just meant it'd be really
great having you here.

I feel like we've already
just picked right up

where we left off.

Here,

I bet Mom would've
loved you to have this.

But I thought
you were gonna try

to get it in the
restaurants in town?

I have more at home and hey,

we're gonna try
to make it, right?

You bet.

- Tonight?
- Sure.

I'll bring pizza.

Can I help you with something?

Oh, Everett said he was gonna
try and do something for me,

but I guess he forgot.

Well, I can go get
'em for you real quick.

Oh no, it's okay.

Just tell him the Rose
said not to worry about it.

Oh, you're Rose.

Yeah, why?

I'll go get 'em
for you real quick.

No, no, it's okay, really.

Tell him I gave Summer the jam.

Will do.

Hey, Rose, wait up.

I thought you forgot about me.

Never.

No, I was making some
calls, I lost track of time.

Oh, here you go.

Your first order.

Everett, this is for
300 jars of blueberry jam.

Well, that is the best kind.

Besides, I couldn't remember
what the other flavors were so.

This is six times what I have.

Can't you just make more?

I guess I can, but this is
300 jars of blueberry jam.

I don't know if I can
deliver this by Monday.

Okay, well how long does
it take to make a jar?

I don't know.

I've never made it before.

I just dropped off 200 jars
of jam for the church bazaar.

I told Tim I'd be
back with more.

Okay, well just add
more to the batch.

Everett, the ones I'm giving
were already made by my mom.

I don't know how
I'm gonna do this.

Okay, don't get upset
until you give it a shot.

All right?

Okay.

There are three, three
hotels and three restaurants

all looking for 50 jars of jam.

Yeah, well, like I
said, I made some calls.

Guess I should have
asked you first.

Ya think.

Sorry, got ahead of myself.

You could say that again.

I tend to do that.

All right, look, you
have the recipes, right,

and you have the other
jams to compare them to

and everyone loves them, Rose.

I know, but I'm not her

and I don't know if I can
make it as well as she did.

Well, you'll never
know if you don't try.

Look, if it's too much,
I can just call everyone

and tell 'em I jumped the gun.

Sorry, I was just
trying to help out.

I appreciate it.

I do, it's just a
little overwhelming.

A lot overwhelming.

I think you've dealt with
way more overwhelming problems

than some jam, Rosie.

Yeah, you're right about that.

I better go.

Go where?

Home.

I have to figure out
how to make some jam.

300 jars of jam?

Yes.

Where are you
gonna get all that?

We're gonna make it.

We as in me and you?

And Summer.

Mom, this is insane.

I know.

Do you even know
how to make jam?

No, but I have
Grandma's recipe book.

Oh, come on, Lily, could be fun.

I don't know what
could possibly be fun

about making enough
jam to feed an army.

Oh, not an army, honey,
just a small village.

Be serious.

I am being serious.

We'll be able to leave
Grandma's mark on this village.

The profit's gonna
help the church.

That would've meant
so much to her, Lily.

I guess.

Summer will be
over at 7:00 PM,

so why don't we try
it now, just us.

It's really just
three ingredients?

Yeah, four cups
of blueberries,

a third of a cup of maple
syrup, and a juice of one lemon.

It only makes 12 ounces?

That's what it says.

So that's three small jars.

Mom, we're gonna have to
do this a hundred times.

Only takes five
minutes to prep.

But it takes
half an hour to cook.

Do you even have
time to do all this?

I have nothing
but time now, Lil,

besides, remember
when you signed me up

to make six dozen cupcakes
for the hockey team bake sale?

This is just like that.

Mom, you used a box mix and
that was six dozen, not 300.

But I was working a full-time
job plus tons of overtime

and I was still able
to get it done, right?

I guess.

Okay, so let's just see
if we can do it first.

Alright.

Come, come.

- Right.
- What do we do first?

So.

It looks like the
right consistency

Smells good too.

Hmm, but now
for the real test.

Hmm.

That's pretty good.

It's not right.

It does taste different.

There's a spice
missing or something.

Are you sure you followed
the recipe correctly?

Yeah, it's just those
three ingredients.

Although Mom would usually
keep a secret ingredient

so no one could
duplicate her recipes.

Sneaky.

Yeah, tell me about it.

I once caught her pressing
garlic into a marinara

after she shimmered the sauce
to give it extra flavor.

There's definitely
a flavor missing.

It tastes like Christmas.

Well, how does a
holiday have a flavor?

You try.

Yeah, you're right.

What are you doing?

Well, there must
be something in here.

Let's make a bunch
of different batches

and put a spice in
each different jar.

We'll keep this one plain.

Hmm, trial and error.

Okay, we can do this.

Yeah, so let's start
with the cinnamon.

Oh.

Okay.

Hmm.

Grandma does make snicker
doodles for Christmas

and she puts cinnamon in those.

Yeah, you're right.

Okay, here it goes.

Tastes better than the plain.

It kind of tastes
like blueberry pie.

Yeah, you're right,
but this is not the jam.

No, it's not.

Okay, it's closer.

Next.

I can't.

I know.

My lips are numb.

Mine too.

Can a person die from
eating too many blueberries?

I think my tongue is
gonna be permanently purple.

I think I might
turn into a blueberry,

like an actual blueberry.

Well, we could always
change your name to Violet.

Oh, don't make
me laugh, it hurts.

I'm so full.

Four more spices, honey.

We can do this.

What's next?

Ground cloves.

Can we finish this tomorrow?

Four more spices, Lily.

We can do it.

Who's that?

Summer said she was
coming by with pizza.

Ugh, no.

Well, hey, at least someone
else can taste for us.

Oh.

Hey.

Hey yourself.

You look like you've
been through a battle.

I have, a blueberry battle.

Oh, I brought pizza and a
couple extra hands to help.

Yeah, she kidnapped
me at the pizza place.

You wanted to come.

I wanted to eat dinner.

You haven't eaten
yet, have you?

Sort of.

Come on in.

Ugh.

Whoa, you guys have been busy.

Yeah, we lost track of time.

All right.

So how many jars have you made?

This batch makes 24.

Once we perfect the recipe,

we'll definitely
move a lot faster.

Whoa, this tastes
exactly like your Mom's.

- It does?
- It does?

Yeah, Everett, try it.

Mm, definitely.

You hit this spot on, Rosie.

You're kidding.

Cloves.

After what we've
just been through,

you better not tell a soul ever.

You hungry, Lily?

I brought pizza.

Uh uh.

She doesn't like pizza.

Mm.

Neither the one of us can even
think about food right now.

We must have eaten
the equivalent

of a sleeve of crackers
and a jar of jam each

trying to figure this out.

Mm.

What do you say
you take a break?

That's a good idea.

I think we need it.

We've been at it for hours.

Right, go change
into something warm

because I have something
that we can do.

Oh, I don't know if Lily's
gonna fill up to going out.

I mean, I practically had to
beg her to make jam with me.

No, no, no, don't
worry about it.

You guys go out.

I mean, I'm way overdue

for some time with my
long lost niece anyways.

I don't know.

I mean, hey, you
could always stay here

and eat some more jam.

Lemme get changed.

Mm, give me some more.

Oh yeah.

- Whoa.
- You okay?

Yeah, I just haven't skated
in a really, really long time.

Oh, if Lily could see
me on the ice now.

What about Rockefeller Center?

Figured you'd skate there
at least once a year.

You imagine me skating
at Rockefeller Center?

I'd be lying if
I said I didn't.

No, ever since we left home
and you moved to New York City,

I don't know, I
always thought of you

when I saw pictures of that,

of that big Christmas
tree outside of the rink.

Oh.

Besides, we used to skate
all the time, remember?

How could I forget?

You were the reason I
broke both of my wrists

and had to sit out of
cheering for half a season.

What?

That's not fair.

You weren't ready.

You said you were ready.

You dropped me.

Because you said you
were ready and you weren't.

Yeah, well, if Danny had
been on the ice instead of you.

Then you would've never
even attempted to do the lift

because Danny was
a terrible skater.

Exactly.

- Woo.
- Whoa.

You good?

Yeah.

Sorry for what Danny
did to you and Lily, Rose.

Your mom told me what happened.

She did?

I asked her not to tell anyone.

I'm the only one she told

and I never said anything
to anyone, not even Summer.

Well, thanks for that.

I hope you don't
blame yourself,

you know, because Danny was
never good enough for you.

I really don't wanna
talk about it right now.

I know that, Rose, it's just,

I really need to get this out.

You know, I always
thought that Danny

took you for granted
in high school,

you know, and even though
he was my best friend,

I always thought you
deserved someone better.

You never said anything.

Bro code plus
I was a teenager.

How was I supposed to know
what I was supposed to say?

Look, after he left,
I wanted to reach out

and I promised your
mom that I wouldn't.

Well, I didn't wanna
have anything to do

with anyone from Lake Placid.

Even after
Danny's family moved away?

Yeah, they moved,
but our history didn't.

Everyone expected me
and Danny to get married

and live happily ever after.

When he left, I was so ashamed.

I don't wanna come back here

and have to explain
over and over again.

Small town.

You know how gossip travels.

Yeah, certainly do.

I'm really glad
you came back here.

So am I.

You okay?

Maybe we should try something
that needs less skill?

Good idea.

I know the perfect place.

Let's go.

This is a nice change of pace.

Yeah, I thought you'd like it.

It's called Wild Lights.

Yeah, the Wild Center's
done it every year since,

well, since Nick
Casetti took over.

I remember Nick.

He did all the sets
for the school shows.

Mhmm.

Yeah, he's a super talented guy.

Can't believe
he stayed in town.

You know, a lot of
people really like it here.

Thank you, Everett.

I haven't had a night like this

in a really, really long time.

Yeah, I'm just glad you
decided to spend some time.

Well, you made a
pretty compelling case.

I can't believe
you got Mom's jam

into six different places.

Well, get into some
more if you like.

You know all the
bartenders or something?

What do you mean?

Well, you bar tend
at the Wooden Spoon,

you work at Lake Placid Diner.

I can't imagine you
have more than two jobs.

- Two jobs?
- Bartender and server, right?

Oh yeah, right.

No, I just made a few
calls, that's all.

Well, I appreciate
it more than you know.

Have to grab a bite to eat

because I'm literally
starving right now.

Yes, sure.

I can have tea or something.

Great.

Does your mom
have a boyfriend?

Boyfriend, my mom?

No, definitely not.

Does she even date?

No.

I can honestly say I've never
seen her leave the house

for a date.

Oh, come on.

I'm serious.

I've never even had
a babysitter before.

- Really?
- Yeah.

I went to aftercare
when I was little,

but once I hit 12,
I came right home

until she got home from work.

Sometimes my best friend
Gabby would come with me

or I'd go to her house,

but she moved to
Texas last year.

Aw, I'm sorry, Lily.

It's so hard when your
best friend moves.

Tell me about it.

She was the reason I was
included with everything

and now that she's gone, no
one seems to care that I exist.

Aw, Lily, I'm sorry.

It was kind of the
same with your mom.

Really?

Your mom was the most
popular girl in high school.

I was kind of
along for the ride.

She was the beauty
queen, I was the weirdo,

go figure, but we
were best friends

and then her and
Danny got married

and she moved off to California.

Right, I do know that.

I tried to keep in touch,

but she was supporting Danny

when he tried to get into
professional baseball.

But he never did.

Right.

They did visit with you a couple
times after you were born,

but he was just so stuck
on playing baseball,

even though he never
played in college

or anything like that,

but your mom was trying to
be the best wife she could be

and support him on his dreams.

While hers were
getting crushed.

Oh, I wouldn't say that, Lily.

She always dreamed
of being a mom.

She's got a pretty
cool daughter.

Thanks.

I just wish I knew what
happened to make her run away.

I love it here.

Well, the Christmas
when you were three,

they came to visit
and brought you

and when they left, I
never saw her again.

I bet that's when
whatever happened

to upset her must have happened.

Did you talk to her?

Oh, I tried.

I sent her messages, I emailed,

I called until the
number changed.

That's so sad.

I guess,

but I'm sure she
had her reasons.

Look, my friendship
with your mom

was the best part about
growing up around here

and I'm not gonna hold
a grudge against her

for having to deal
with something

that she felt she had
to deal with on her own.

I guess I just kind of figured

we'd always be friends
again at some point.

And here we are.

Are you sure you don't
wanna order anything?

Food here is really good.

You're lucky I'm
watching you eat.

I'm just glad you
figured out the recipe.

I mean, I seriously
have never tasted

anything like your mom's jam.

I mean, whatever spices she used

made it taste like a
jar full of Christmas.

That's cute.

I wonder if I can
patent the recipe.

Yeah, maybe.

You definitely have
something special here, Rose.

Should try to get
it in the stores

Need to figure out a more
efficient way to make it.

So what about marketing it?

Ah, see, that's
totally my wheelhouse.

I know exactly
how to package it,

who to bring it to,
how much to charge.

I majored in marketing and
spent the last six years

at one of the top marketing
firms in Manhattan.

I imagine you'll be
going back soon, huh?

To New York City?

Maybe.

I'm not sure yet.

I'm definitely not
going back to the firm.

Really?

Why not?

Let's just say they were
unhappy with the timing

of my mom's death.

What?

They can't fire
you for bereavement.

That's illegal.

I know and I'm pretty
sure they knew that too.

Okay, so what happened?

Coming here, then I
missed a major deadline.

Missing a deadline is grounds
for immediate termination.

And they couldn't
make an exception?

No, so I packed
up my desk and left.

Huh.

Well good for you.

Glad you stood your ground.

Yeah.

The old Rose
would've just stayed.

I kind of like the new Rose.

Kinda?

Well, I really liked
the old Rose too though.

I guess you're gonna
have to get to know

the new Rose better.

Yeah, I guess so.

Well, well, well, this is
my ex-wife and my best friend.

I think that ex
applies to me too, Danny.

Danny.

In the flesh.

What are you doing here?

I heard Dahlia
kicked the bucket.

I thought I'd pay my respects.

I tried to get into the wake,

but I wasn't even
on the guest list.

Even in death, Dahlia
had to be petty.

Don't talk about my mother.

That's enough, Danny.

You're upsetting Rose.

Aw, I always knew you
had a thing for my girl.

You're just waiting for me
to get out of the way, huh?

That's enough. Danny.

Get out.

I would, but I'm staying here.

Oh, come on, Everett, don't
act like you didn't know.

You knew he was in town?

No, of course not.

Guess you should pay more
attention to the registry.

Oh, well I'll come by

and see you in little
tomorrow, Rosie.

Don't you dare.

Have a nice night you two.

Come on, I'll take you home.

Thank you for tonight.

You're welcome

and sorry about what Danny said.

Tell me the truth.

Did you know he was here?

No, absolutely not, Rose.

Promise.

I believe you, Everett.

Danny was the last
person I wanted to see.

Yeah.

He's the reason why I didn't
come back to Lake Placid

since the divorce.

Yeah.

I figured.

I missed out on so much

'cause I was hiding from
him, from our history

I put my feelings and fears
ahead of my mom's desires

to have us back in Lake Placid.

I won't make the same
mistake with Lily.

Hey, Rose, everyone
makes mistakes.

Not everyone learns from them.

Seems like you have.

I don't know.

Things seem to be
moving pretty quickly.

I don't know if I
should slow it down,

go with the flow,

or get out of the
water altogether.

That's your decision,
but just know this,

whatever you decide,

you got me and Summer swimming
right alongside of you.

Thanks.

Gonna take a minute for me
to open up and trust again.

It's just been me
and Lily for so long.

You take all
the time you need.

I'll be right here.

I thought
I heard voices.

Hey, Summer.

I'm not interrupting
anything, am I, 'cause.

- No.
- Yes.

No.

No, it's fine.

You are fine, I'm fine,
you look really fine.

Goodnight, Everett.

My bad.

Thanks a lot, Summer.

Wait, wait, wait for me.

Hey.

How was your date?

It wasn't a date.

We were just catching up.

Yeah, okay, Mom.

How was just catching up?

It was nice.

We had fun.

Mom, are you okay?

Did something happen?

Your father is in town.

Oh.

You don't have to see
him if you don't want to.

I don't.

Okay.

You can think about
it if you want.

I don't, Mom.

He left when I was
three years old.

He never even sent a birthday
card, let alone called.

He said he's coming by tomorrow.

I won't be here.

There's a hockey
clinic I heard about.

That's right,
Everett mentioned it.

I don't wanna see him, Mom.

You're not gonna make me, right?

No, of course not.

I don't even have
his last name anymore.

He gave me up.

When he did that,
he gave up any right

he had to see me again.

Lily, I'm just letting
you know that he's here.

Tim and Everett know too.

Don't worry, honey.

We'll circle the
wagons around you.

I don't know what that means.

It means that we
will all protect you.

Don't you worry, Lil.

Okay?

Thank you, have a good day.

Hey, Rose, what's up?

Hey.

Hey, Molly.

I have Everett's jam delivery.

Oh wow, that was fast.

I don't wanna let Everett down

with all the orders he got me.

Oh, I'm sure he'd
do anything for you.

I'm sorry?

Hey, you,

I was wondering
when you'd step by.

Is this all of them?

Yes, these are the small jars.

Great, I'll walk
you out to your car.

Mol, can you hold down the fort?

Yeah.

I'll just grab my coat.

So how about tonight?

For what?

Second date?

What do you say?

I would, but
someone committed me

to making 250 jars of jam.

Kind of busy.

Yeah, at this point I'd say

we might need to get you
an industrial kitchen,

maybe even a full staff.

Let's pump the
brakes a little.

I need to find out if I can
actually meet this order first.

Can I help?

No thanks.

I wanna spend some
time with Lily.

Okay.

Why do I suddenly
get the feeling

you're giving me
the cold shoulder?

I'm not.

Okay, maybe just a little.

Everett, I had such a
great time last night.

So did I.

But you're
Danny's best friend.

Not anymore.

Either way, it's kind
of a big deal, Everett.

No, Rose, it isn't.

Alright, look, last night,

that was the first time that
I'd seen Danny since, well,

since you guys were here
at Christmas 12 years ago.

Still.

No, not still.

All right, look, yes,

Danny and I were best
friends in high school, okay,

but that all went out the
window when he cheated on you.

Wait a minute, you
knew he cheated on me?

No one knew why he left.

I never told anyone,
not even my mother.

Yeah.

Yes, I knew.

Okay look, he came to me and
he told me that he met someone

and that he was planning
on leaving you and Lily.

What?

Everett, how could
you have not told me?

I didn't know how to.

Lily was three years old

and you were always with him
or your mom when you were here.

Yeah, you could
have found a way.

How, Rose, a note, an email?

I didn't know what was
going on in your house

and I didn't wanna be the
one to destroy everything.

Danny destroyed
everything, Everett.

A little bit of warning
would've been nice.

From me?

Rose, come on, think about it.

What if Summer found out that
you were cheating on Danny

and she told him.

I never would've
cheated on Danny.

I know that, Rose,

but please just try to see
it from my perspective.

Okay, I was 22 years old and
I didn't know what to do.

I can't deal with
this right now.

Look, Rose, I'm sorry, okay?

I just, I didn't
know how to tell you.

So instead you
waited another 12 years

to break my heart
all over again.

Thanks a lot, Everett.

Rose, hey.

Here's the paperwork
for the clinic.

Thanks.

Where's Lily?

On the ice.

She seems so happy.

Yeah, she loves
playing ice hockey.

I think she
wants to stay here.

Yeah.

Well, I am her mother, so
I'll be making that decision.

Whoa,
what's wrong with you?

Did you know?

Did I know what?

About Danny.

What about Danny?

He's back in town?

Yeah, Lily told me
on the way over.

Don't play dumb
with me, Summer.

Did you know he cheated on me?

What?

Oh my gosh, no.

Rose, you should have told me.

You really didn't know?

Of course not.

How would I know?

You stopped talking to me when
you moved out to California.

Well, no, I saw you when I
visited with Danny and Lily.

We were never alone, Rose.

We never spent
any time together.

Danny and Everett hung out,

but you wouldn't leave
your mom's house.

We had no time together.

Don't you think that if I knew,

I would've found
a way to tell you?

Everett knew.

No way.

Yeah, he just told me that
Danny told him before he left.

Rose, I swear Everett
never said anything to me.

I had no idea why you
and Danny broke up.

Danny told me he met
the love of his life

while on walk on tryouts.

She was there, some sort of
athletic trainer or something.

I was served with divorce
papers and he left.

I never saw him again.

That was the March

after we were all
here for Christmas.

Oh, Rose, I am so sorry.

I had no idea.

No wonder you didn't
wanna talk to me

or anyone else in this town.

Yeah, well,

I just found out that Danny
told Everett before he left.

Oh man.

Poor Everett.

Poor Everett?

How can I even say that?

Rose, it's no secret
that Everett's been in love

with you since sixth grade

and then you end up
with his best friend

and then you marry him,
have a baby with him,

and then Danny comes around

and is like, oh by the
way, I'm cheating on Rose.

Exactly what was Everett
supposed to do with that?

He was supposed
to have told me.

If he told you,

it would've ruined
his relationship with not only Danny,

but with you too.

With me, how?

He would've been protecting
me by telling me the truth.

You were so blindly
in love with Danny

and you have Lily to think about

plus Everett was
Danny's best friend.

Do you know how emotional
that must have been for him?

What about my emotions?

Ugh, Rose, no offense,

but maybe you should try

to put someone else's
feelings first for a change.

Everett was so young back then.

We all were.

I wouldn't have known
what I would've done

if I were in his
situation at 22 years old.

Would you?

No.

Well, there you go.

Lily.

Yeah, way to go.

Do you want me to talk to him?

No.

Are you going to talk to him?

No.

Rose, don't do this.

Don't do what?

Shut everyone out.

You just got back.

Mom.

This is Lucy Ann,
Taylor, and Margo.

They're on the North
Road hockey team.

Hey, girls, nice to meet you.

They're going to the diner.

Can I go please?

Sure.

- Here.
- Thanks.

Let's go.

Be home by 10.

She'll be fine.

Those girls are really nice.

Very responsible.

Yeah, they seem it.

If you're worried, I can
go hang out at the diner

and keep an eye on them.

No's, it's that, just,
I've got a lot of jam to make

and I just lost my helper.

I'm a good helper.

You don't mind?

Not at all.

Oh, thanks.

I'll meet you at your house.

Sounds good.

- See ya.
- See ya.

Hey, girls.

Hi, Megan.

- Table for five?
- Yes please.

Alright, come with me.

Hey, Lily, is your mom here?

No, I think she went home.

Okay, thanks.

Danny.

What are you doing here?

Did you join the police
department and not tell me?

You need to leave.

Why, I'm hungry.

Because this is my
restaurant, that's why.

You need to get out now.

Oh, is one of
those girls my kid?

Hey, that's enough.

Just tell me which one she is.

I won't talk to her.

Just not here.

You need to get out
before I throw you out.

Fine.

Have it your way.

Bye girls.

You can talk to me, you know.

I know.

I just don't know what to say.

Ugh, you don't have to choose
your words with me, Rose.

You've been my best friend
practically my entire life.

How can you say that?

I married Danny and I
left you here all alone.

I wasn't alone.

I went up to college
and made friends.

I had my family.

Well, maybe I was.

What?

Even though I married Danny,
I was so lonely, Summer.

I wanted to be here with
you and Everett and Mom.

The minute I married
him, I regretted it.

I knew I'd made a mistake.

- No you didn't.
- I did.

You took me off to California.

I didn't know anyone.

He didn't let me
have any friends.

When I got pregnant,
I was so happy

'cause I finally had someone
else in my life besides him.

I tried to call you.

I tried to keep in touch.

I know.

Danny just wasn't having it.

He wanted me all to himself.

And then Lily was born.

I was so happy.

It's the happiest I've
been in a long time.

Well, see, marrying
Danny wasn't a mistake.

You have an amazing
daughter because of it.

Well, she is the
only good thing

that happened from
that marriage.

Exactly

and if you didn't marry
Danny, she wouldn't be here.

Right.

People come into our
lives for a reason,

regardless of how long
they're there for.

Maybe Danny was
to bring you Lily.

I never thought
about it like that.

And maybe your mom
left you all this

so that you could
give your daughter

the same experience you had.

I mean, we had a really cool
life growing up here, right?

Yeah, we really did.

Maybe you lost your job

so that you'd have
nothing holding you back

in Manhattan anymore.

Maybe.

And maybe Everett has
been waiting in the wings

just hoping that you'd
finally come home

so you could give him the
chance that he deserves.

Rose.

Rosie.

What?

Maybe that's just a sign
showing you that I'm right.

Rose, Everett's
always loved you.

He's never been able to
hold down a relationship.

Anytime a girl is ready
to settle down with him,

he breaks it off.

I swear it's because
he's waiting for you.

Rosie, please.

I just need to talk to you.

Get out there.

What are you doing?

Go.

Rosie.

I'm sorry.

I've been beating
myself up for 12 years

because I didn't
know how to tell you.

You know, it just, it all
happened so fast, you know,

and by the time I got the
courage to say something,

Danny had already left

and so I waited, waited
for you to come back home

and thought maybe I could
help you pick up the pieces,

but you never did

and I should have
said something sooner

and told you how I felt.

Maybe you wouldn't have waited
so long to come back home

and I am so, so sorry.

I know.

He came by the diner tonight.

Lily's at the diner.

I know it's okay, I know.

She saw him, but I don't
think she knew it was him

and he called out to the
girls before I threw 'em out.

I tried to stop him,
but I don't know.

I just didn't think Danny
would do something like that

and I didn't let him go near

and I didn't let
him talk to her,

which I hope that's
okay with you.

I just, I didn't
know what to do.

Thank you.

Thank you for protecting her.

Should be a good day.

Oh and our star booth.

Are you ladies
ready for the rush?

Oh, bring it on.

Here.

What is this?

A check for $1,000
made out to the church.

I've been selling jam
at local restaurants

and I want you to
have the proceeds.

Thank you, Rose.

There'll be plenty more
where that came from.

I'm gonna try to
build a jam business

from my mom's recipes.

Rose, that's wonderful.

We're gonna start out small
until we can get a storefront

or a commercial
kitchen or something.

Well, the people of Lake
Placid love her jammed,

so I'm sure you'll find lots
of luck in New York City.

New York City?

I think it would be
way too expensive

to start a business down there.

Plus we can get all the
maple syrup we need right here.

I think starting a
business in Lake Placid

would be a lot
easier than the city.

Especially when
you got me helping.

Does this mean you'll
be staying in Lake Placid?

It does.

I emailed our landlord 30
days notice this morning.

Well, welcome home, Rose.

Thank you.

All right, McCreedies,
back to work.

Rose.

Charles, what
are you doing here?

Looking for you.

You and Lance made
it crystal clear

you didn't need me any longer.

We were wrong.

We need you to come
back to the office.

Mom.

That's not happening.

Please, Rose.

Chavez campaign, it's failing.

Already?

I've barely been gone a week.

No one knows how to
work it the way you do.

You mean no one
would allow themselves

to be taken advantage of
the way I do, the way I did.

Please consider it.

Come back after the holidays.

We'll increase your salary 30%.

- No.
- 40%.

Well, I appreciate
you coming here.

I'm not interested.

My daughter and I have a
home in Lake Placid, friends.

I'm even starting
a new business.

But you said yourself,
it's only been a week.

Have you really made
those changes so quickly?

You know, Charles, I think
it's been a long time coming.

At least speak to
Lance and Chavez.

I'm not interested.

Then tell him
yourself in person.

They're at the Lake Placid Diner

with one of Chavez's partners.

I'll be back in half an hour.

Mom, you're not going to.

No, no, I promise.

Don't worry.

What if she changes her mind?

She won't.

How can you be so sure?

She promised.

This is the best
I've ever tasted.

I know and she makes
everything in her house.

Well, we're gonna have
to do something about that.

Rose.

No, thank you.

We've missed
you at the office.

Lance.

Hang on.

Rose, you worked for
Howser and Budewitz.

Yes.

That's the firm
that fired you?

Fired is a strong word.

Yes.

You told me I was a big
girl and that I'd be okay.

Mr. Chavez, I'm sorry
you came all this way,

but I'm not coming back.

You're the Rose who runs

my Pacifico Nachitas
marketing campaign.

I was.

Aren't you here because
the campaign is failing?

Failing, failing
is a strong word.

The way I understand
it, Ernesto,

is that Rose here wanted to
come to her mother's wake.

The firm didn't
want her to take off

because of a big
marketing campaign,

which I'm assuming
was your campaign.

Hold on, you two
know each other.

Know each other?

You could say that.

I built my brand
off his guacamole.

Pacificos is only a success
because of Nachitas guacamole.

You create an Nachitas.

Well, Ernie and I did.

Everett was my little
brother in our fraternity

and we were the ones responsible
with coming up with snacks,

so we came up with
this guac recipe

everybody went crazy for.

Everett had the idea to
sell it to local businesses

and I mean it took
off from there.

But you're a bartender
at the Wooden Spoon?

A bartender?

No, Rose, he owns
the Wooden Spoon

and various other restaurants
and hotels in the area.

Rose, I was gonna tell you.

So that's how you got
those orders from my jam.

This is your jam?

Well, my mom's.

That's why I'm here.

Everett called me and told me

I needed to make a
visit and try this jam

and when I mentioned
Lake Placid,

well Charles and Lance
insisted on coming with

and now I understand why.

I need to get
back to the church,

but I came here
only to let you know

that I am absolutely
not coming back

to Howser and Budewitz.

We'll talk later.

- Rose.
- Good day, gentlemen.

So how about that campaign?

Rose, Rosie, wait up.

Really, Everett, you
own the Wooden Spoon?

Yes and the diner.

Anything else?

The lodge.

Cranberry Grove
Bed and breakfast,

Churchill Hotel, Interlaken Inn.

Everett, how could you
have not told me this?

What am I supposed
to say, Rose?

Hey, I know I haven't
seen you in 12 years,

but by the way, I'm
a multimillionaire

and I'm sorry about your mom.

Doesn't matter.

Doesn't change anything.

It changes everything.

No, Rose, it doesn't.

I thought you
were a bartender.

Okay and the night of
your mom's wake, I was.

I wanted to do something
special for her,

so I bartended.

Your mom, she knew me before
I made anything outta myself

and she always loved me for me

and she was always there for me,

so, in some small way, I
wanted to be there for her

and to tell you the truth, I
wanna be there for you too.

Is there anything else
you haven't told me?

Yeah, 12 years
worth to be exact.

Just like I'm sure
there are things

that you haven't told me either.

Why do you ask Chavez
to come to Lake Placid?

I didn't know you knew him.

I don't know him.

Okay, I didn't know

that you worked on his
marketing campaign.

Correction, I ran
his marketing campaign.

Definitely did not know that.

So why ask him to come visit?

Because I wanted surprise you.

I knew that he loved your jam

and I thought maybe
he'd want to take it

to a national level the same way

that he did with our guacamole.

Everett, why
didn't you ask me?

I'm not prepared to
take this national.

I don't even know if we'll
go real well locally.

It will, Rose.

I know it will

Still, I'm operating
outta my kitchen.

You're getting way
ahead of yourself.

It's just I wanted to
get a plan from Ernie first

and I wanted to be the
one to bring it to you.

You didn't think
I would've liked

to have been involved in that?

I didn't even know
if you'd say yes.

Well, I'm not saying yes.

Are you saying no?

I don't know yet.

It's good enough for me.

I need to get
back to the bazaar.

We'll talk about this later.

Yes, ma'am.

Sorry there's a little
limit to three per person.

Thank you for your purchase.

What took you so long?

You wouldn't believe
me if I told you.

How many have you sold?

Almost a hundred.

The bazaar's just started.

People know your mom died

and they wanna make sure
that they can get the jam

before it sells out.

I told them we're
still making it,

but they want Grandma's.

We're gonna be sold out
before the hour's over.

If we last that long.

Don't you have anymore?

No, I just gave all the
jam to the restaurants.

Can you imagine
what it would be like

if we were in grocery stores?

Mom would be a jam tycoon.

Whoa.

Wouldn't that be great?

Your life would be set
up very nicely, Lily.

Who are you?

Danny?

It's me, Lily, it's Daddy.

You need to leave right now.

Keep quiet, Summer,
this doesn't concern you.

No, she's right,
you need to leave.

Is that any way
to talk to your dad?

You may be my biological
father, but you are not my dad.

Dad is reserved for men who
are there for their children.

You were never there for me.

Your mom and I got divorced.

That doesn't matter.

You didn't divorce me.

You changed your
name, didn't you?

I changed my last
name when I was 13

because my mom has been
there my entire life.

She didn't just pick up and
leave for whatever reason.

She stayed and took care of me.

She put me first no matter what.

No matter how hard it was,

my mom was always there for me.

You left when I was three
years old and now you're back.

Why?

Your mother and I
were together when Dahlia made that jam.

It isn't yours.

Nothing here is
yours, including me.

I may be 15,

but I will make sure you
don't ever get anything

that belongs to me and my mom.

Yeah, you and what army.

This one.

Get out, Mr. Cooper.

We don't want you here and
don't you ever come back.

That was awesome.

All right, everybody,
nothing to see here.

Back to work.

I am so proud of you.

Really?

You're not mad.

No.

I'm in awe of how
strong you are.

Well, I've got a
pretty great role model.

I need to take
care of something.

You can't fire us.

We have a contract.

Ernesto, listen, let's just
think about this for a moment.

I thought about
this long enough.

I mean, we've been sitting here

going over the same
thing for over an hour.

This just keeps coming
down to one thing.

- Money?
- Compassion.

Compassion.

I don't see what compassion
has to do with this.

Of course you don't.

You fired the woman
running my holiday campaign

because you thought that
you would miss the deadline,

a deadline you still
failed to meet.

If she showed up
for work, we would've.

No, no, no, Lance, don't you
dare try and put this on her

because if you had called me

and explained to me
what was going on,

I could have moved the deadline.

Instead, you tried
to put this on her

and she called your bluff.

Okay, okay, so what
does that have to do

with our contract?

Well, it doesn't have
anything to do with it.

Okay.

But missing a deadline has
everything to do with it.

We were short
staffed because of her.

You're our biggest client.

Exactly what am
I supposed to do?

I don't know.

You're a big boy.

I'm sure you'll figure it out.

Let's go.

Rose.

I'm in.

What?

I thought you had the bazaar.

I did.

We sold out in
less than an hour.

I'm in.

But we don't even
have a plan yet.

I don't care.

People love the jam.

It helps the church and
we'll keep mom's legacy going

for I don't know how long.

It's okay, we'll work
out the deal points.

That's fine.

I know an attorney in town
that would be happy to help.

Now I need you to know
something though, Rose.

Now I fired Howser and Budewitz.

Really?

Really, so I
don't have anybody

heading up the
Pacifico campaign.

Frankly, I didn't
think they could do

as good of a job as you.

I don't think anybody could.

I'm not leaving Lake Placid.

Well, I have a partner here

and I'm pretty sure he could
find you some office space.

Absolutely.

Okay, I want a
flexible enough schedule

so that I can spend
time with Lily.

As long as you
get your work done,

I don't care what days you
work or where you work from.

I want you to match
the salary I was getting.

Done plus percentage
of jam sales.

A large percentage
of jam sales

will go to Sacred Heart
Church in Lake Placid.

Now how
large are we talking?

Large enough to handle
all of their repairs

and keep the church in
good working condition?

I'm sure that can be arranged.

Then we have a deal.

We have a deal.

This is gonna be great, Rose.

Now, we'll make the jam
and get it in stores,

you spearhead the marketing.

How about we meet
tomorrow for breakfast

and we'll talk all this over?

I look forward to it.

Whoa, where you going?

Well, I let her get away
once before and you know what,

I'm not gonna let
that happen again.

I hear that, go get her.

Rose, hang on.

Hey, what's up?

Why are you going so fast?

The bazaar isn't over.

You're not in
Manhattan anymore.

You know you can slow
down, breathe a little.

I think I'm gonna have
to get used to that.

Yeah.

Think about it, Rose.

You know, people work and
work their whole lives

so that they can live
in a place they love,

do what they wanna do.

Look at Lily.

She wanted to play hockey

and now she's here
in Lake Placid,

home to one of the best
hockey moments in history.

I think she's gonna
enjoy every minute here.

And think of Summer.

Summer could have left,
gone somewhere else,

pursued a major career,
but she's truly happy here.

You know, has
everything she needs.

Your mom was the
same way, you know?

Yeah, she really was.

After I created my
business with Ernie,

I came back here

because I found that this
is where I'm happiest.

Look at you.

You got your work,
family, friends,

and you get to do what you
wanna do when you wanna do it.

I think you're gonna
be happy here too.

You know what?

I think you're right.

Yeah, I usually am.

Thank you, Everett.

For what?

You made me see what
I've been missing.

Nah, Rosie, I think you
just opened your eyes.
