Lisa?

Lisa!

Lisa!

Lisa!

Lisa!

[Lisa] I'm up here!

[sighing]

In my room!

Lisa Anne Bentron!

What?

Gram says it's ready.

You have to come now.

Oh, okay, I'm coming.

No!

Gram made us promise not
to slide down the banister.

That's no fun.

I know, let's go down
the stairs like her.

[Whitney] Yeah, okay.

[both humming Wagner's
"Here Comes the Bride"]

I do.

[laughs] Yeah, me too.

Girls, come on, the
concrete's almost set.

Coming!

Come on, Gram!

I'm coming, I'm coming,
you girls are so fast!

[laughs]

Okay, make sure you get both
hands in there real good.

Will our hand prints
stay here forever,

like dinosaur footprints?

Absolutely.

Forever and ever and then some.

I wish Mommy and
Daddy were here.

Oh, I do too, sweetheart.

I'm sure they're
watching over us.

Now, let's make hand
prints like dinosaurs!

[all growling]

- [kids laughing]
- Look how good you did.

Everybody will
know we were here.

Lisa, Whit, and Gram.

[calm music]

Thanks, Gram.

[Mary] It's gonna look great.

There we go.

Oh, honey, what do you think?

I'm getting married.

[laughs]

Well, it's official.

Seven Oaks is on the market.

It's the end of an era.

I am so sorry, girls.

You know I would keep
Seven Oaks if I could.

Of course we know.

Yeah, it's just
too big of a place

for anyone to take care of.

You're right to sell.

Just not before my wedding.

No one can move in
before next month, right?

I think you're safe.

You'll be able to march
down the staircase

just like every Bentron
bride before you.

Um, actually...

I don't think I want
to do the bridal march

down the front stairs.

Whitney.

What about history
and tradition?

What about the west garden?

We can set the chairs up
over here for the ceremony

and the tables here
for the dinner.

But how are you going to
make your big entrance?

I don't want a big entrance
or to march down the aisle.

I want to skip and flit and...

Scamper?

More like boogie.

[laughs]

I know we always thought we'd
walk down the stairs, Lisa,

but it's just not me.

And it's really not Geoff.

This is your big day, Whit.

And if this is what you want,
I couldn't be happier for you.

Oh, how about some
agapanthus in that bouquet?

Agap-salutely!

[laughs] Can I let Geoff know
we can use the west garden?

Of course.

- I'm gonna call him now.
- Okay.

[Lisa sighs]

I'm sorry, sweetheart.

I know how much you
love Seven Oaks.

I know.

I know, but...

No, I'm not going
to be sad about it.

It's the right thing to do.

And I promise you I am going
to find the perfect family

who will love Seven Oaks
just as much as we do.

It's an old house, Lisa.

With a lot of property.

I'm not sure how
easy it's going to be

to find a family who's willing

to take on something like this.

As much as I don't
like the idea,

it may be a developer who
ends up buying Seven Oaks.

What?
No, no.

This has been our family home
for over a hundred years.

We can't sell Seven Oaks

to some commercial
builder or developer.

But we also can't
wait forever to sell.

Okay, how about this?

Let's make a deal.

If I can't find the perfect
family for Seven Oaks

by the end of the year,

then we can start looking
into other options.

Well, all right.

[laughs] Good.

But I guarantee you I'm going
to find the perfect family

and they're going to love
it just as much as we do.

Trust me, I do
this for a living.

They're out there, I know it.

Let's go over the numbers again.

Everyone, if you don't mind
pulling out your project guides.

I want to take a closer
look at appendix A, please.

Yes, appendix A here
clearly lays out

all of the requirements
necessary to take advantage

of incentives that exist
in the current tax code.

Incentives which are,
of course, critical

to the funding of our
next calendar year.

Does anybody have any
questions about that?

Questions?

- Anybody, anybody?
- [snapping rapidly]

No, anybody?

Matt, yes.

So far we've been
taking on projects

and just fixing them up.

We take an office building

and turn it into a
better office building.

Take a B&B and turn
it into a better B&B.

But what if we take a
property like this one

and start thinking about it
beyond its current status?

It's a private home,

but it has 15 bedrooms
all with en suites,

and numerous indoor
and outdoor areas

perfect for events of any kind.

Yeah, I think maybe
now is a good time

for a thorough
review of appendix A.

Andrew, this 1887
house, mansion really,

was designed by the famous
architect Richard Hinsley.

The building details
alone make it

a treasure worthy
of preservation.

Matt, we don't buy
the wrong house

because it has the
right finishes.

It's also located
near the charming town

of Springdale, Georgia
with plenty of shopping

and dining opportunities,

as well as multiple
historical points of interest.

And...

Horseback riding could be
an additional attraction.

The estate features former
stables and 80 acres of land.

That has possibilities.

You got this idea from
Appendix D4, didn't you?

Um...

It was definitely a
jumping off point.

Uh huh...

That could work.

That could definitely work.

Huh.

Let's make it happen.

All right, anything
else, anybody?

Actually, Andrew,

there is something I want
to talk to you about.

Okay, shoot.

Guys.

As you already know,
since Mom and Dad retired,

you've taken over
as senior partner

and I've, you know,
been junior exec.

And that's okay.

You're the older brother.

You've been here
longer than I have

and you are the business genius.

Possibly guilty.

But this is my deal.

And I think I've
paid my dues now

and once this deal is
complete, I'm ready.

For what?

What I've been talking
about for years.

Climbing Annapurna?

Buying that vacation
house on the beach?

Andrew.

If you're talking
about that 30 day diet,

I'm not doing that with you.

Okay, yes, I know, I know.

You want to be a full partner.

I've talked to Mom and Dad
about it and they agree.

Tell you what.

You nail this deal coming up,

that office directly
next to mine is yours.

I won't let you down, Andrew.

I won't let anyone down.

Mom, Dad, this company,

the country, the world.

You know I was glad

when you decided to
come back and work here.

I figured it would be like
when we were kids again.

The two musketeers.

Causing trouble.

Taking names.

So you gonna want some help?

With the project?

No.

Thanks, but no.

I'm gonna do this one on my own.

Okay.

Soonest possible.

I'm on it.

[calm, upbeat music]

Hey.

Hey.

Thanks for letting me
hold down a table here.

You haven't left
the house in a week.

I was about to find a lasso
and drag you out of there.

Well, real estate
never stops, partner.

Need some more sugar, sugar?

Could always use a little more.

[kisses]

- Hey, Lisa.
- Hey.

I have the sweetest
fiancé in the world.

How's the search for a
buyer for Seven Oaks going?

Any calls yet?

So far?

- Yeah.
- All together?

Yes.

Including today?

- Lisa Ann Bentron.
- [phone ringing]

One.

Lisa Bentron Real Estate.

Hi, this is Matthew Wallace,

calling to schedule a
showing of Seven Oaks?

[Matthew garbled on phone]
Could I come down tomorrow?

[static on phone]

I'm so sorry, can
you repeat that?

The connection is terrible.

I'm calling to schedule
a showing of Seven Oaks.

Tomorrow work?

You want to see Seven Oaks?

Wonderful.

How does tomorrow
at 3:00 p.m. sound?

Yes, it's for my family company,

Wallace Family Development.
[static on phone]

Mr. Wallace, great.

All right, I will see
you tomorrow at three.

That sounds good, 3:00
p.m. tomorrow, thank you.

We got a showing.

And it's for a family.

I think they're the one.

It's just a showing.

Yeah, but I have
such a good feeling.

- Coffee?
- Of course.

Wallace.

It's a real estate
agent's trick.

Nothing makes a house
feel more like a home

than the smell of
freshly baking cookies.

I'm just gonna get
these in place.

The front hall?

Yes, and the table
in the drawing room.

Thanks, Gram.

Whit.

Sorry.

Professor Bhaer!

Not the most original name.

No, not bear, Bhaer.

Yeah.

Bhaer.

You lost me.

Like from Little Women.

- I loved that book!
- I loved that book!

Why bring all this
stuff down now?

Oh, 'cause I forgot
to ask Mr. Wallace

if he's bringing his kids.

And I thought it would be nice

if they had something
to play with, you know,

while their parents
take the grand tour.

That's a good idea,

but Professor Bhaer should
probably stay with me.

I mean, we don't want
them fighting over him.

I just hope this is enough
to keep them occupied.

The Wallaces must
have a ton of children

if they're gonna buy Seven Oaks.

Still riding that
good feeling, huh?

It's more than a good feeling.

[gasps] Without a doubt.

See?

The Wallace are going
to love Seven Oaks

just as much as we do.

It's one thing to
love the place,

it's another thing
to take care of it.

Why the big push to get
another family in here?

We both knew this was coming

and it didn't seem
to bother you before.

At least not until...

Don't say it.

Don't even go there.

This has nothing
to do with Daniel.

I might believe that if you
had dated even one person

since your break up.

Oh, please, like who?

I'm sorry, is this town overrun
with handsome, single men

who are not only smart but kind?

If you know something I
don't, please, spill it.

Well, there's always...

No, not him.

Or how about...

No, he's with Missy Stafford.

[gasps] How about Alex from...

Oh, right, the police.

Okay, I see your point.

Exactly.

But maybe he's
not in Springdale.

Maybe you need to get
out a little bit more.

It's okay for you

to start imagining a
new future for yourself.

Whit, I wouldn't even
know where to start.

Seriously?

What?

[playful music]

"Reply hazy, try again."

No thank you.

Stupid 8 ball.

I have to get back to the diner.

After all, I am a grown woman
with a business and a fiancé.

A wedding to plan, dental
insurance, a sensible car.

You want to take
the bear, don't you?

He doesn't like strangers.

Go ahead.

Good luck.

I'll call you later.

All right.

Okay.

Perfect.

[calm music]

Perfect.

[sighs]

[watch beeping]

Cookie time.

Excuse me.

You can't park here.

I'm expecting clients soon.

Excuse me.

Oh, hi, sorry, I
didn't see you there.

Did you say something?

Did I?

I'm asking you.

Yeah, sorry.

Yes, you need to move your car.

I'm expecting clients soon.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, I know.

I'm him... them.

It's me.

You?

Right.

You're Mr. Wallace?

Exactly.

Oh.

Listen, I'm sorry I
got here so early.

I was planning to take a
look at the neighborhood

but then I got this flat tire,

and I thought I could
change it beforehand, but...

Anyway, I'm very excited
to see the property.

Wonderful, wonderful.

I'm sorry, you're just
not what I was expecting.

I'm sorry to disappoint you?

Oh, no, no, no, I
didn't mean it that way.

It's...

It's your car, it's nice.

Very small.

Totally impractical, and
probably incompatible

with car seats.

It's sporty.

Thanks.

I like to take it for
a drive when I can.

Oh, oh, I see.

So you're here to
check out the property

and then you're
gonna report back?

Yeah.

I think the boss trusts me.

Of course, of course.

Where are my manners?

Hi, I'm Lisa Bentron.

I'm Matthew Wallace.

Oh, I'm so sorry.

I should have thought that...

It's okay, it's okay.

Do you want a hand
with that tire?

'Cause I think we're
already in this together.

The house was
originally built in 1887

and, as you can
see, still has most

of the original
hand-crafted fixtures.

How many kids do
you think ran up

and down these stairs
over the years?

Well, I can tell
you two personally

who slid down that banister.

My sister and I,
we grew up here.

Our Gram made us promise to stop

after an emergency landing
into a potted palm.

Ouch.

But still, Seven Oaks
is a wonderful place

to raise children.

Lots of room to run around,

great nearby parks
and playgrounds,

and no less than
eight fireplaces.

Lots of room for
Christmas stockings.

Ah.

And how far from town?

About 20 minutes,

but the nearest grocery
store is five minutes closer.

But the shopping
and restaurants?

More like 25 minutes, I guess.

And this is the kitchen.

Do you think there's
enough room here

for an industrial-sized fridge?

Oh, I'm not too familiar

with industrial-sized
refrigerators.

Wow, the boss must
really like to cook.

Not really.

Oh, yeah, I'm sorry,
I shouldn't assume.

You're the chef?

No, I'm a terrible cook.

Oh, so the industrial
sized refrigerator is

for all the children.

I suppose.

All the guests really.

That garden is fantastic.

Yes.

Yes, it is.

This is the perfect place

for guests to have
breakfast in the morning.

Wow, you really
like to entertain.

I do, actually.

My brother is the
brains of the family.

I'm more of the people person.

Oh, so you're close
with your family?

Andrew and I work together.

He's a genius.

For real.

My parents got him tested.

And after they retired, he
took over the family business.

The plan is, I'm going to
be equal partner very soon.

Congrats.

Speaking of family, any
chance I can meet the owner?

I think I can pull a few strings

and get you on her schedule.

Come on.

Well, I have to say,
this all looks delicious.

And decorative.

This is my great
grandmother's wedding china.

She brought it with her
when they built Seven Oaks.

And then she insisted that
they paint the dining room

to match the china pattern.

I thought it looked familiar.

Oh, sorry about that.

Those got left in the
oven a tiny bit too long.

Can't imagine how that happened.

Cucumber sandwich?

Thank you.

And my dentist thanks you too.

Well, I have to say Seven
Oaks is even more beautiful

than I imagined.

Thank you.

It's a place we've always loved.

Oh, and I'm sure your wife

and children will
love it just as much.

- Oh, uh, um...
- [phone ringing]

Sorry.

Can you excuse me for a moment?

I need to take this.

[Matthew] Hey, Andrew.

Yeah, I'm at the house now.

I think so.

Well, he seems very nice.

Yes, and quite the
devoted family man.

I can't wait to see what
they do with the place.

You don't find it odd

that he didn't have
his wife with him?

No.

I'm sure she's just
busy with the kids.

She'll come with him when
they sign the papers.

If there's a wife at all.

What are you talking about?

Of course there's a wife.

Little red sports car.

Loves to entertain.

Expensive, tailored suit.

No ring.

Lots of men don't
wear a wedding ring.

He's a bachelor.

Trust me, a Gram knows.

That's impossible.

Why would a bachelor be
interested in Seven Oaks?

I don't know.

But would it really
be such a bad idea

to have a handsome,
kind, smart, single man

in the neighborhood?

[Lisa] "Decidedly so."

Huh.

Sorry about that.

Well, I don't see any reason
to beat about the bush.

I love Seven Oaks,
I'm very interested,

and I am ready to
make an offer today.

Well, this seems
very reasonable.

Of course, we'll have to
wait to set the sale date

until after my
granddaughter's wedding

at the end of next week.

Oh, I didn't realize
that you were...

Oh, no, not me.

Ah.

Yeah, my sister Whitney.

Oh, great.

For her, of course.

Weddings are great.

So great.

You've had one?

A wedding?

Yeah.

No, not yet.

Great.

[clears throat]

And I'm sure that
will be no problem.

Wallace Development's
lawyers will need

at least a few weeks to
put everything together.

Wait, developers?

You're a developer?

Yeah, I told you
that on the phone.

No, you said this
was for your family.

Wallace Family Development,
my family's business.

We specialize in restoring

and converting
historical properties

and turning them into
functional spaces.

We think Seven Oaks could be
a wonderful boutique hotel.

A hotel?

This is not a hotel,
this is a home.

What did you think
I was talking about

with the industrial-sized fridge

and guests having
breakfast in the garden?

What I was talking about,
you like to entertain.

With 15 bedrooms?

Yes, for your wife
and all your children.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, children?

I don't have kids or a wife.

Told you.

Well, Mr. Wallace,

I am so sorry that our
signals got so crossed

and you've wasted your time.

Seven Oaks is not for
sale to any developers

or for-profit
businesses at this time.

And this not a hotel.

Mrs. Bentron, is that
really how you feel?

I'm sorry, Mr. Wallace.

But I did give my
granddaughter my word

that she had until
the end of the year

to find a family for Seven Oaks.

And I must keep it.

I understand.

Well, thank you for allowing
me to see the property.

It's a beautiful place.

I can see why you
love it so much.

One more thing.

It may not be the
offer you want,

but it's the offer you've got.

And it's a good one.

I'm sorry, but...

Maybe we can talk tomorrow
morning or in the afternoon?

Nope.

Tomorrow doesn't work.

How about never?

Is never good for you?

[chuckles] Okay, you win.

But the offer still stands.

Who knows, maybe I can
convince you to sell it to us

by the end of the year?

Not in a million years.

I wouldn't be so sure.

I can be pretty convincing.

And I can be very unconvinced.

Good day, Mr. Wallace.

[calm music]

[phone ringing]

Hello?

Matthew.

When can we start?

Actually, the seller needs
a little bit more time

to look at the offer.

So increase the offer.

I don't think that'll help.

Just, seller's a little testy.

Just remember, every seller
thinks they have a winner.

But just because
you put syrup on it

doesn't make it pancakes.

Right.

Carry on.

[bright, upbeat music]

Great.

Hey, when I said you
could work at the diner,

I didn't mean you
could have all of it.

Save some tables for
the customers, okay?

Oh, hit me.

Don't you think you've
had enough already?

I've had four cups.

- Five?
- Eight.

Eight cups.

Caffeine fiend is not
a good look on you.

Okay, this, this
is my cup of care.

[gasps] It's empty.

Please, I'm gonna
need every advantage

if I'm going to find a
family for Seven Oaks.

Thank you.

Have you thought any more
about that Wallace guy?

What?

No, absolutely not.

Gram thought he was pretty nice,

said something about
looking good in a suit?

I don't trust him.

Why not?

I don't know, there's just
something about his eyes

and his smile and
all that height.

Uh huh.

And what about that
good feeling you had?

What do my feelings know?

Oh, top me off.

At least eat something.

I can actually
see you vibrating.

Okay, you're right.

What's for lunch?

I don't know.

Geoff said he was working
on something special

and hasn't let me in
the kitchen all day.

It's got to be something...

Here we go!

Lunch for my favorite lady
and her favorite sister.

Well, I'm her only sister.

Well, I guess you
didn't have a whole lot

of competition, now did you?

Oh, what is this?

This, my dear, is
heart-shaped mezzelune

'cause I mezze-love-you.

[kisses]

It's not just
supposed to look good.

Go ahead, eat up.

Oh, Geoff, you are
the pasta king.

Thank you, thank you.

So good!

Awe-tacular.

So, I was thinking about
making this for the wedding,

but I do have a few
more dishes I could try.

The wedding?

Our wedding?

You mean the one you're
walking down the aisle at?

You don't think I would go
through all this trouble

for just anybody, do you?

This is handcrafted,

individually made
specialty pasta.

You want to make handmade,

individually crafted
specialty pasta

for 40 people on
your wedding day?

Don't you think you might
be just the tiniest bit,

I don't know, busy?

I'm never too busy to cook.

Plus people will expect it.

I forgot the oregano.

Oh.

I can't believe Geoff.

He doesn't really
think he can cook

on our wedding day, right?

I don't know, he seems
pretty committed.

Maybe you could convince
him to delegate.

[laughs] Geoff delegate?

I'll believe that when I see it.

You know what...

Oh no, Councilwoman Nightmare.

Nightmoore.

Miss Bentron, Miss Bentron.

- Councilwoman Nightmoore.
- Councilwoman Nightmoore.

I understand your grandmother
has finally decided

to put Seven Oaks up for sale.

And yet I'm learning
of it only now.

I did just list it.

Do you think you can
keep secrets from me?

Secrets?

It's all over the internet.

I took out a half page
ad in the newspaper.

We're looking into
billboards just now.

Well, good luck.

And don't be too
precious about it.

You need to price Seven
Oaks to sell, not sit.

It's long past time, that
property needs a new owner.

I guess I'll just seat myself.

She came along when the
health inspector did

his last walk through.

I was afraid all the coffee
creamer would curdle.

I knew her when she was at
the county clerk's office.

She used to make
the contractors cry.

You ever see a grown
man cry into a toolbox?

Oh, it's not a pretty sight.

But what did she mean,

it's long past time Seven
Oaks had a new owner?

What's it to her?

Maybe you should think about
that Wallace guy some more.

I wasn't thinking about
him in the first place.

Oh, those eyes and that
smile and all that height.

The only reason you're
against this guy is

because he wants Seven Oaks.

Otherwise you would
be all over him

like sauce on Mezze-love-yous.

That is absolutely untrue.

Matthew Wallace is
the last man on earth

I could ever be interested in.

You say that, but I
remember the time...

Pardon me, ladies.

You must be Whitney Bentron.

I'm Matthew Wallace.

Of course you are.

I've heard a lot about you.

I'm sure you have.

I've heard a lot
about you as well.

And both your grandmother
and my hotel manager said

that your diner's the best place

to eat in all of Springdale.

So I decided to
find out for myself.

Oh, I have the
perfect table for you.

Hey!

I told you you couldn't
have all the tables.

Let me just get you a menu.

You know, this actually
works out perfectly.

I was hoping for the chance
to talk to you again.

That only makes one of us.

Look, I understand why Seven
Oaks means so much to you.

If I grew up in a
place like that,

I'm sure I would love it too.

But it's not like we're
looking to pave over paradise.

Look, even if I had the
inclination, which I don't,

I don't have time.

I have an open house
and an auction to plan.

An auction?

Yep, by private invitation only.

Primary residence shoppers only,

which puts you out
of the running.

Let me help you with that.

Thank you.

Councilwoman.

Fancy seeing you here.

No, no.

Councilwoman Nightmare, I have
something very important...

Nightmoore, Nightmoore!

Lisa!

Okay.

Councilwoman Nightmoore, may
I have a moment of your time?

Yes, you may.

[gasps] I did not
know you were there.

Really?

I could have sworn I heard
someone calling my name.

Well, how may I help you?

Oh, right, yes.

Here's the thing.

My grandmother has been
approached by a developer

and they want to turn Seven
Oaks into a boutique hotel.

I am overcome with
joy to hear it.

What, seriously?

But what about history
and family and tradition?

What about a
responsible landowner,

a new employer, and
additional tax revenue?

What's not to jump
for joy about?

But they can't just decide
that a home is a hotel.

What about zoning laws
or parking restrictions?

A hotel is perfectly
within the zoning

in that section of town.

And with 80 acres to work with,

I'm certain they can
address any parking issues.

But, but...

But I am wasting the time

that you have been so
kind to give to me.

Thank you, Councilwoman
Nightmare... Nightmoore!

Nightmoore, I said Nightmoore.

Bye.

[upbeat music]

It's glorious.

[kisses]

The fireplace was created

by no less than three
master craftsmen.

Seven Oaks has hosted
senators, governors,

and, if family legend is to
be believed, one minor...

kids only have a 40
minute ride to school.

I don't have kids
of my own, but...

prince.

Could you excuse
me just a moment?

[Matthew] ...spending your
life as a chafferer

going to and from school.

Then there's soccer games,

there's dance lessons, band
practice.

Hi.

Could you excuse us
for just one moment?

Maybe you'd like to
check out the gardens.

What are you doing?

I have never spent 40
minutes on a bus in my life.

I guess routes have changed.

I called the school and asked.

Spoke to the sweetest
lady, Maggie.

You can double
check if you want.

Her sciatica is acting up,

but she's still going to
choir recital tonight anyway.

Oh, can I help you?

Oh, we're just looking.

Well, please, be my guest.

You know, Christopher
Columbus was just looking

and see what he found?

Right.

Hey, you don't happen to know

if this is a
load-bearing wall, do ya?

I couldn't say for sure.

Is there a reason why you ask?

Well, I want to knock it down.

What?

You know, open up
the place a bit.

Get some [whistles],
some flow going.

And take out this ugly flooring.

But this is 100 year old oak.

I mean, have you seen the
inlay and the detailing?

It's hideous.

It's all brown.

Marble.

White marble!

That would really
brighten the place up.

You know, I think
there's someone

who you would love to talk to.

The gentleman who was just
here with the navy blue suit?

He has some surprising facts

about Seven Oaks you
will really enjoy.

Let's go.

[Agnes] Hello!

[Fred] Hey, partner.

Nice to meet you, pleasure.

Matthew Wallace.

I'm Fred.

Well played.

I have no idea what
you're talking about.

Auction is on and this
place has got to go.

What are you gonna give,
what are you gonna give?

Need an opening bid, what
are you going to give?

I got 15 acres, 20
acres, 30 acres more.

I got 40 acres, 50 acres,
60 acres more, 80 acres.

Where did you find this guy?

My regular guy was booked.

Geoff recommended him.

From where?

The stockyards?

What are you gonna give?

Dollar dollar bill,
dollar dollar bill.

Need a dollar bill
now, need a bid.

Hey, where are you going?

To get a better view.

Call it more-bid curiosity.

Got no bids, need a bid,
got no bids, need a bid,

got no bids, need a bid,
got no bids, got no time,

got no bids, got no time.

No bids, no time, no bids.

[gavel bangs]

- No sale.
- Great, thank you.

That was very speedy.

Okay, thank you.

- [gentle music]
- [birds chirping]

I don't know if it's
fair to Gram, though.

And Seven Oaks does
need a lot of upkeep.

I don't know how much longer
she can do it by herself.

I know, I thought moving
back in would help, but...

But my hands are tied.

Either you sell Seven Oaks,

or the town will have
to sell it for you.

And soon.

Yes, of course, Hannah.

I understand.

Thank you.

Gram, what was all that about?

I didn't know you
girls were there.

Why would the town need
to take over Seven Oaks?

I mean, that doesn't
make and sense, unless...

Oh.

I guess I better come clean.

Come on, girls,
let's take a walk.

Unpaid property tax?

Penalties, violations
for brush clearance?

Gram, I don't understand.

Why is all this happening now?

My grandparents, your
great-great-grandparents,

set up a trust to be used
for the care of Seven Oaks.

It lasted a very long time,
but this place got older

and repairs got more expensive.

Eventually the
money just ran out.

But if it's just
a matter of money,

Whitney and I can help.

Yeah.

It's our family home too.

No, it's far too much money.

It doesn't matter.

How much money are we talking?

Hannah Nightmoore brought over

an accounting of everything.

Oh.

Wow, that's a lot of money.

Wait, Gram, these go
back to over a year ago.

Why didn't you tell us
any of this was going on?

You each had your own
lives and challenges.

I didn't want to worry you.

It's my job to take care of you,

not your job to take care of me.

I didn't want to be a burden.

You could never be a burden.

Not ever.

We're a family.

We take care of each other.

Okay, how long is Councilwoman
Nightmoore giving us?

What?

It's just the way you said "us".

Sometimes I still think of you

as my adorable
little granddaughters

sliding down those stairs.

You're all so grown up.

You're smart, capable,
resourceful young women

and I am just so proud
and happy to be your Gram.

Gram. [sobs]

[sighs] She said giving us
till the end of the month,

which gets us to Whitney's
wedding, but not much further.

I really think we
should reconsider

the Wallace offer
for Seven Oaks.

What? No!

No, Whitney, back me up here.

Maybe Seven Oaks would
be a really nice hotel.

Matthew's offer isn't
the offer that we want

but like he said, it's
the offer that we've got.

I just want to go walk, okay?

[Matthew] Hey there.

What are you doing here?

Your grandma called me

and asked me to come
by and talk to you.

Well, I don't have time to talk.

Okay, so just listen.

I know how much this
place means to you

and nobody can say that
you didn't try your best

to find another family.

But maybe it's time that you...

You know, I don't have
time to listen either.

I've got silver service for 60
to polish before the wedding.

We have Seven Oaks till then.

You've got service for
60, I can do this all day.

What are you doing?

You said you didn't
have time to listen.

So if I help you,
you'll have more time.

Okay, okay, maybe I
can polish and listen.

Great, because I can
definitely polish and talk.

I realized that I've been
speaking the wrong language

to you this whole time.

Excuse me?

What I mean is,
you've been talking

about family this whole time.

After all, it is
your family home.

And I've only been
thinking about business.

Yeah, I mean,
that's a fair point.

So I want to apologize for that.

You do?

But there's something
better than talking.

What's that?

Showing you.

Come away with me.

[laughs] Okay, now I
know you've lost it.

Come away with me

and see one of our
properties for yourself.

Decide if we're
the kind of people

that know how to honor
history and tradition.

And if you think that we
are, you consider my offer.

If we're not...

Yes?

You never have to see me again.

Are you so sure about that?

Promise.

Teaspoon promise, even.

Teaspoon promise.

[spoons clink]

[calm music]

Is all of that
the original trim?

It's not, actually.

This place was in pretty
rough shape when we got it.

It had been sitting vacant
and neglected for years.

We found a gentleman who had
been doing custom mill work

and restoration his entire life.

And he runs the place
now with his wife.

Matthew, there you are!

Oh, it's so good to see you.

It's been too long.

Almost a month.

It feels even longer.

I know.

Mavis, this is Lisa Bentron,

this is the woman
I told you about.

So nice to meet you.

I apologize in advance, it's
a little hectic around here,

but we're hosting the
Clemmings Family Reunion

and we're a bit overrun.

Come on in.

Great.

Oh, so do you host a lot
of family reunions here?

Oh yes, we see a lot of the
same families every year.

The Clemmings for the past 10.

You'll see some of the photos
over here on the mantle.

[Lisa] Oh, wow.

That's from when we were putting
this place back together.

My husband did most of
the work here himself.

With a little help.

Very little.

Mostly I just handed Bill
whatever he asked for.

Mavis, would you mind
giving Lisa the 10 cent tour

while I take care of the bags?

I'm sure I can manage
at least a 10 cent one.

[Mavis whispering]
So glad you're here.

He's such a sweet boy.

Oh, we're not together.

Oh, I'm sorry, I just assumed.

No, no, it's strictly a
professional relationship

and hardly one at that.

Well, he's never
brought a relationship

of any kind here before,

but I better get
you on that tour.

Oh, wow.

I love these pocket doors.

Aren't they beautiful?

Wait, what is this?

Well, now that's Isabelle.

She was the innkeeper's daughter

when this place was first built.

She grew up here, then
raised her family here.

Wow, I'm surprised
it lasted so long.

Well, to tell you the truth,

Bill wanted to sand it down but
Matthew wouldn't hear of it.

Just added a couple
coats of varnish

so it wouldn't fade away.

We think it's important
to preserve some

of the family's history.

That's really sweet.

Like I said, he's a sweet boy.

He sure is full of surprises.

I can't wait to see
the rest of the house.

Come on.

This is our dining room.

We kept the original trim.

After a minute, I realized he
was talking about me!

[laughs]

[Man] Hey, how are y'all?

- Miss Lisa Bentron.
- Hi.

[calm music]

[birds chirping]

[insects chittering]

Hey there.

Hi.

[Matthew] I thought you
might like a night cap.

Thank you.

How was the tour?

Oh, it was lovely.

This place is beautiful.

And Bill and Mavis,
they obviously love it.

What did you do all day?

Oh, the usual.

Pushed paper, made a
few calls, took a nap.

Mmmmm.

That paper you were
pushing wouldn't happen

to have been sand paper, was it?

Could have been.

And the phone calls,
were those to Bill asking

for a fresh bucket
of paint for Room 3?

You heard that, huh?

Yeah.

What about the nap?

Oh, that really was just a nap.

After all of that,
I did need it.

I can't argue with that.

Speaking of paper, what
are you working on?

Oh, this is the seating
chart for Whitney's wedding.

It's a bit of a mess.

I hear those can be complicated.

Yeah, you want to put the
guests with people they know.

But then you also
want to put them

with people that they don't
know so they can mingle.

But then the bridal
party has to be close

to the bride and groom,

but then there's Geoff's
parents and Gram,

and you get the picture.

I'm exhausted already.

Yeah.

And with all the
drama with Seven Oaks,

I've fallen a bit behind and I
don't want to disappoint her.

Something tells me you could
never disappoint Whitney.

You guys are just too close.

That's true.

I think it's because
we're so close in age.

We're more like twins
than regular sisters.

Must be nice.

I take it you're not
close with your brother?

It's not that we
don't get along.

We work great
together and all that.

But what guy doesn't want to
live up to his big brother?

Hmmmmmm.

But how do you do that

when your big brother's
a certified genius?

Mmmm. That can't be easy.

The things he can do with
numbers are just incredible.

I still want to, well,
need to make a contribution.

But in my own way.

And that's what Seven
Oaks was supposed to be.

You should talk to your brother.

Be honest with him and
tell him how you feel.

You're partners, and family.

Being open with him will
only bring you two closer.

Music taste.

What?

Send everyone an email
asking for song requests.

Then organize the seating chart

based on the guests'
music tastes.

When a song comes on
that they requested,

they'll all start to
get excited together.

Soon they'll be friends.

Huh.

Maybe you're the genius.

Cheers.

[glasses clink]

[clears throat] This is me.

So it is.

I'm uh...

I'm down the hall.

Thank you for the wine.

And for the seating idea.

It was a really good idea.

You're welcome.

I have a question.

Yeah.

If, and this is a really big if,

we were to sell
Seven Oaks to you,

would you be the
one to oversee it?

Absolutely.

Seven Oaks would
be my project 100%.

So you'd be in town a lot.

Definitely.

All the time.

Well, in that case...

I still need some more time.

Sorry, I'm really not
trying to be difficult.

I know.

It's a big decision.

It's huge.

I think I just
need one more day.

Okay.

I promise, by this
time tomorrow night,

you will have a decision.

Fair enough.

See you at breakfast?

See you then.

- [Mavis] Good morning.
- [Lisa] Hey.

[Mavis] Be right back.

- Good morning.
- Good morning.

Here we go, fresh muffins.

I threw in a couple
of extra blueberries.

They're his favorite, you know.

Oh, well, I can't
object to that.

They're my favorite too.

It's so wonderful when
people have things in common,

don't you think?

Yes. [giggles nervously]

Enjoy.

It's okay to mix a little
business and pleasure.

[laughs]

I'm sorry about that.

It's okay.

So I was thinking about
what you said last night

about Andrew and it
made me realize...

He's here.

Matt.

Hello.

Just wanted to, hello,

I just wanted to come by

and check on the progress
of that new project.

You haven't been returning
my, hello, phone calls.

Sorry.

But this actually
works out great.

I've met your family,
now you get to meet mine.

This is my brother Andrew.

Andrew, this is Lisa Bentron.

Her family owns Seven Oaks.

Yes, of course.

Very exciting project.

Hi, thank you.

It's gonna make a great
public golf course.

Excuse me?

The project.

It's a private-public
public-private partnership.

Of course, we'll have to
tear down the main house,

make room for the club
house, and then, you know,

I was thinking about
keeping the original name

for local recognition.

Tear down, tear down...?

You want to tear
down Seven Oaks?

No.

Yes.

What?

The capital glut, tax
incentives, you know.

No, obviously I don't.

It was in the appendices.

I asked you about this and
you said that you understood.

You said this was your idea,

that Seven Oaks was
100% your project.

- Lisa, I...
- No, don't.

I can't believe I
listened to you,

and I can't believe I
almost believed you.

Lisa.

Why didn't you tell me this
was your plan the whole time?

I thought you knew.

It was always a part of the...

Andrew.

Nobody understands
those plans but you.

What?

We try and we try

but they still don't make
sense to anyone but you.

Why didn't you say
anything about this before?

We...

No, no, not we.

You, why didn't you, my brother,
tell me about this before?

I can't believe
this is happening.

I can't believe I was so stupid.

I almost believed his story
about respecting history

and honoring tradition.

But you want to
know the worst part?

We can't really stop him.

No, because once the city
takes control of Seven Oaks,

they can sell to
whoever they want.

And Wallace Family Development
will be right there

with their checkbooks out and
their bulldozers standing by.

And there's nothing we can do?

Nothing short of chaining
myself to the front door.

Always a solid plan.

You'll help me, won't you?

If that's what you really want.

I'll even bring you meals.

I mean, not finger foods,

because your hands will
probably be chained up.

But soups, milkshakes, stuff
you can drink through a straw.

Oh, sis, you're the best.

[sighs] Oh God, I don't
know what I'm gonna do

if Seven Oaks gets torn down.

It's only a house, Lisa.

A house we both
love and cherish.

But still just a house.

It's not like you
to get so invested

in an inanimate
object like this.

At least it wasn't until
you and Daniel broke up.

I know.

I know, it's just...

When I was with Daniel,

I could picture of my future.

You know, I could see
my wedding and my house,

even our kids.

You know, two girls.

Eloise and Adeline.

Addie, that's sweet.

And I know it wasn't real

and it didn't matter
how many kids we had

or what we named them.

But it was something
I could hold onto.

And then it was gone,

and there was nothing.

And the future was just this
big, scary, empty nothing.

So you started
digging into the past.

Yeah, and I found all this
amazing stuff about Seven Oaks.

You know, when it was
built and who stayed here

and about our relatives and
the history of the area.

And that is great.

It's great to be
sentimental and love history

and care about preserving it.

But you have to think
about the future too.

I don't know what I
want my future to be.

You don't have to know.

You can play around, try
things out, see if you like it.

Ultimately, life should
be a little bit risky.

If you're not a little scared,
you're not doing it right.

But you're not scared at all.

You know, you're out here and
you're doing all this stuff.

You know, you're getting married

and you're opening a diner.

You're moving forward.

I'm absolutely petrified.

But I'm happy and excited

and I can't wait to see
how everything turns out

because I have
faith that it will.

Maybe that's what I need.

Cup of faith.

Can I borrow one?

Anytime.

Really?

Perfect timing.

I can't imagine what you
possibly have to say to me.

I am sorry.

Oh, I couldn't
have imagined that.

Seriously, I didn't
know Andrew's plan was

to tear down Seven Oaks and
turn it into a golf course.

How could you not know that?

Because...

Because I'm an idiot.

Couldn't have
imagined that either.

I took on a job

without really understanding
what it was about.

I was only trying
to get a promotion.

But I'm here to
make it up to you.

I want to help you
save Seven Oaks.

What?

No, absolutely not.

But why not?

Because I can't
possibly trust you.

Lisa, I didn't know.

No, no, I don't care!

Okay, I don't care if it
was a misunderstanding

or just flat out deception.

Seven Oaks was signatures away

from being destroyed forever.

Do you have any idea
how that makes me feel?

Yeah.

How?

How would you possibly know?

Because I love it too.

That first day when
you gave me the tour,

I saw everything, everything
through your eyes.

I fell in love.

With Seven Oaks.

Yeah.

Yeah, right.

What about your promotion and
your company and everything?

I thought I would
do whatever it took

to finally make partner.

Turns out I was wrong.

If it comes at the price of
all this, I don't want it.

What do you say?

Good thing I borrowed that
cup of faith from Whitney.

Okay.

I say let's do it.

Great.

Do you have an office
or we could go back to...

Oh.

Whitney, Whitney!

Hey, call Geoff and tell him
to start brewing more coffee.

Like a lot more coffee.

That's right.

It's an original of
architect Richard Hinsley.

There's only a dozen of
his buildings left standing

that haven't had
major alternations.

Square footage?

Over 9,000 square feet.

And that doesn't include
outbuildings which are...

Former stables, two
guest houses, tool sheds,

a summer kitchen,
and a greenhouse.

I can send you a prospectus

so you can go over the
details for yourself?

And you should have it now.

Great.

We'll follow up after
you've had a chance

to go over everything.

Thank you too.

Well, that makes at least
four potential buyers.

Awesome.

Hey, guys.

Give these a try and let
me know what you think.

They are for the wedding.

- Will do.
- All right.

Oh, I have a list

of other companies we
should reach out to.

This is a list

of Wallace Family
Development's competitors.

Well, I figured if your
company didn't want

to turn it into a boutique
hotel, maybe one of these would?

- Try these, for the wedding.
- But what about...

making sure Seven Oaks
stays a private home?

I am opening myself
up to other options.

You know, Gram, she is really
in favor of the hotel idea,

and Whitney, she's
convinced me it's time

to start thinking
of other futures.

Try, wedding.

What do you think of the idea?

I think it's a brilliant idea.

Let me just see where to start.

Why are you not trying?

- Sorry.
- Sure.

- Mmmmmmmmm.
- Mmmmmmm.

Thank you.

[groaning]

Oh no, not you guys too.

What was that?

Yeah, Geoff's cooking
is usually spectacular.

But this, this is a
crime against gastronomy.

He's been up for
three days straight

trying every recipe
he can think of.

At this point,

I'm not even sure he knows
a rutabaga from a rock.

Well, get him to stop

before he kills more
than just our taste buds.

I've tried.

I even switched out
all the coffee to decaf

in hopes that exhaustion
would take him down.

What?

He's absolutely manic
about this wedding

and anything I say
only makes it worse.

Hey, it's okay.

You, you should talk to him.

Me?

Yes!

Could you please?

Do one of those like
man-to-man talks.

Okay, but what should I say?

Stop being crazy.

Hire a caterer.

Go take a nap.

Anything.

Anything is better than this.

Yeah, I don't think
that that's...

I'll give it a try.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Regular.

Fine.

Hey, Geoff?

Are you okay?

Whitney's worried
sick about you.

I'm okay.

I'm okay, I gotta cook.

It's what I do.

Gotta cook, I gotta stir.

I gotta stir.

Why is it not stirring?

Okay, okay, okay.

Why don't you sit down?

[Geoff groaning]

And I'll stir.

You won't forget?

Won't forget.

What's really going on?

I cook.

That's what I do, it's the
only thing I'm good at.

Did Whitney, she
tell you how we met?

You tell me.

I was working at this
place over in Bridgeport

and it was raining
cats and dogs all day.

Whitney came in
around closing time,

all drenched, shivering.

So I got her a
towel for her hair

and I made her a tomato bisque

with a sourdough Gruyere panini.

And she didn't want to eat alone

so I had to make
some for myself.

We just sat and laughed,
ate and talked for hours.

Later, she told me

that was the day she
started to fall for me.

Geoff, no woman ever
fell in love with anyone

over a cup of soup and a
grilled cheese sandwich.

It was bisque.

[laughs]

She fell in love with
you because you cared.

Because you helped her
and you made her laugh

and you just spent
time with her.

And you can't do any of
those things at your wedding

if you're going
nuts from cooking.

Maybe you're right.

I mean, what you two
share is really special.

Have you seen the
way she looks at you?

Well, if anyone looked
at me like that,

I'd already know I'm the
luckiest man in the world.

[upbeat music]

These are fantastic.

Pictures like these are
bound to attract buyers.

These are beautiful.

What else do we need?

Well, if we can, we should
get some shots with the couple.

Oh.

No way am I waking Geoff up.

If I'm lucky, guys,

he will sleep the whole
way until the wedding.

Matthew won't mind stepping in.

Me?

And Lisa.

You've already done so much
to help Seven Oaks already.

I'm sure you won't mind
this one little thing.

Can you guys get closer?

Closer.

Closer.

Closer.

Come on, you guys,
snuggle up already!

- [Zack] Closer.
- [Lisa giggling]

Yeah, that's it, that's it.

And this.

Oh no.

[laughs]

[camera clicking]

Hey.

Hi.

What's wrong?

Oh no, what happened?

I heard back from all of our
potential buyers overnight.

None of them are interested
in making an offer.

Okay.

Well, we just have
to keep trying.

Lisa, I'm sorry, but
there's not much time.

The town is going to
take over Seven Oaks

by the end of the week.

Not much is not
the same as none.

We can still do this.

Wow, that shot of faith you
had is really kicking in.

Oh, these are on the
house, by the way.

I don't know what
you said to Geoff,

but he slept for
18 hours straight

and has returned to the world
of culinary compos mentis.

[laughs] Great.

And the appetizers?

Excellent.

And he finally decided
to hire Guiseppe's

- to cater the wedding.
- Um, hello?

Oh, excuse me, the
Nightmare calls.

Oh, you've got me doing it now.

[whispering] Nightmoore,
Nightmoore.

Okay, so how do we think
about this differently?

Well, if we can't stop the town

from taking over Seven Oaks,

maybe we can stop your
brother from tearing it down.

I did hear a rumor about
a plan involving chains,

a padlock, and a steady
stream of milkshakes?

It wasn't really a plan.

It was more of just
this desperate attempt.

Wait a second.

I just thought of something.

I asked Councilwoman Nightmoore
if there was anything

in the town zoning laws that
would prevent Seven Oaks

from becoming a hotel,
but I did not ask her

about it becoming a golf course.

And if Andrew can't turn
it into a golf course,

he'll go look someplace else.

Yes, and that gives us
more time to find a buyer

that doesn't have
demolition on their mind.

And the Cobb salad with
no bacon, onions, or corn.

There is no corn
in the Cobb salad.

Then that at least
will make it very easy

for you to remember,
won't it, Miss Bentron?

Shouldn't you have been
writing all this down?

I have.

Your handwriting
actually hurts my eyes.

[mouthing silently]

Councilwoman Nightmoore,
do you remember

when I was asking if
there was anything

in the town zoning laws
to prevent Seven Oaks

from becoming a hotel?

I have not been overcome
with senility yet.

Okay.

Follow up question.

What about making
it a golf course?

Perfectly acceptable.

Well, how can that be
what the town wants?

Think of all the traffic
it's gonna create.

I was thinking of
all the new business.

But that's why I'm on the
town council and you're not.

But is it still legal

if it means tearing
down Seven Oaks itself

to make room for
a new club house?

Of course.

Oh.

Okay.

Thank you.

Assuming, of course,

they don't mind taking
their construction equipment

around the long way.

The covered bridge over
Harper's Creek isn't rated

for commercial vehicles.

Right.

Enjoy your lunch.

Well, so much for that.

Well, it was a good thought.

I can't believe this town
still has a covered bridge.

It must be over a
hundred years old.

Yeah, it's almost as old
as Seven Oaks itself.

They can't tear it down

because it has protected
historical status.

- That's it.
- That's it.

Okay, so this is all the
information I could find

about Seven Oaks.

You didn't look
very hard, did you?

I know I went a little crazy

but there's just so
much amazing stuff!

[gasps] Like this.

This is my great-great-
grandmother's dance card

from when she had
her first ball here.

This.

This was when my
great-grandparents,

they opened up the house
as a convalescent home

for soldiers who were
returning from World War II.

Wow, Seven Oaks really
has been a big part

of the community.

Yeah.

And now we just need to
convince the city council

with an amazing presentation

of why it should receive
historical status.

What about these?

These are the brides.

They walk down the staircase.

Yeah, there's daughters
and cousins and sisters

and second cousins and
cousins once removed.

But I guess that's all over now.

Why?

Once you save Seven Oaks and
turn it into a hotel or inn

or whatever, plenty
of brides will be able

to come down the stairs.

Your daughters will be able
to come down the stairs.

Though by then, they'll
all be riding hover boards.

I hadn't thought of it that way.

About the hover boards?

No, no, about how other
families could enjoy Seven Oaks

as much as my family
has for generations.

It's a good thought.

It's a really good one.

Okay, this.

Oh, this is cool.

- [upbeat energetic music]
- [both laughing]

Sorry.

Okay.

Okay, there are unique gardens

and hundreds of,
many walking trails.

[laughs]

- Stop, stop!
- Okay.

I'm Sorry.

Okay.

[Whitney] You can do this.

[gasps]

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

And that is why Seven Oaks
and its surrounding estate

should be granted
historical status.

[audience applauds]

Thank you, thank you.

Oh, I just, I don't
know if it's gonna work.

How can you think that?

This place is amazing.

You're amazing.

Where's the problem?

You've met
Councilwoman Nightmare.

Nightmoore, Nightmoore!

You see, I keep doing that!

It's one thing
when it's you guys,

but it's another when it's...

I know I'm just
going to get up there

and be an utter failure.

No, you won't.

You're going to get up there

and you're going to show
them all the intelligence

and passion and determination
that you have inside of you

and you're gonna win
them over completely.

You really think so?

I know so.

It worked on me.

[kisses]

Good night.

[calm music]

Next on the agenda,
we have a presentation

by Miss Lisa Bentron
regarding a proposal

to grant protected
historical status

to the property
known as Seven Oaks.

Oh, yes.

[clears throat]

Sorry, sorry.

Members of the town council,
fellow citizens of Springdale,

and most especially Councilwoman
Nightmare, Nightmoore.

I'm here today to tell
you about the...

economic, cultural,

and historic importance of...

Importance of my family's
home, Seven Oaks.

Seven Oaks was designed by
architect Richard Hinsley

and is a unique
display of his work

in the Southern
Neoclassical style.

It is not only a
historical marker,

but it is a place of
history, love, and tradition

that has defined our
community for over 130 years

and it deserves both
love and respect.

[Whitney] How much longer

do you think they're
going to debate?

Well, Councilwoman Night-

[All] Nightmoore!

I know, I know.

She said she would come by
after they made a decision.

[door opening]

That was a beautiful
presentation

you gave, Miss Bentron.

Thank you.

Unfortunately, we aren't able

to grant Seven Oaks
protected historical status.

But why?

The town simply doesn't
have the funds to take on

and preserve a property
like Seven Oaks

in the way it deserves.

I'm truly sorry.

Thank you.

I can't believe it.

First Wallace Family
Development wants Seven Oaks

but we've got too much money

and now the town
wants Seven Oaks

but they don't have enough.

I think I know the answer.

Can you meet me at
Seven Oaks later?

Yeah, of course, but...

Thanks.

Bye.

Hey, thanks for coming
by to help set up.

No problem.

After appetizer-gate,

I feel like I've got a vested
interest in this wedding.

But I'm still waiting to
see how this helps Seven-

[Andrew] Hello.

[Matthew] What's my
brother doing here?

Well, he said that you
weren't returning any

of his phone calls or emails.

Maybe he wants to talk to
you in his own language.

Numbers?

Brother-ese?

Matt, hi.

[Matthew] Hey.

This is a very nice
place, isn't it?

Yeah, that you
want to tear down.

I don't want to tear it down.

Come on, Andrew, this place
would make an amazing hotel.

It's not too late.

It is too late, Matt.

We need the tax incentives
to fund next year's projects.

I wish it was
different, but it's not.

And we only get
the tax incentives

if there's some sort
of public usage,

which a hotel wouldn't be.

I'm sorry.

[Matthew] Yeah, me too.

Hey, why didn't you
tell me you never knew

what my reports were about?

Not never, just sometimes.

I thought you understood me.

I want to understand
you, Andrew.

And I wanted to tell
you so many times

but I was afraid you'd
think I was stupid.

I want you to think I'm
as smart as you are.

You're much smarter than I am.

Andrew, you know the first
300 prime numbers by heart.

You can calculate
the rate of return

to six decimal places
faster than any computer.

I don't know if anyone's
ever told you this,

but normal people can't do that.

Numbers are easy.

It's people that are hard.

People, that's what
you're good at.

The team, the
Bentrons, everybody.

I guess I am.

So this whole time I was
wishing I was more like you,

you were really wishing
you were more like me?

Yeah, seems so.

Maybe it won't
make a difference,

but could you at least
look for another place

to stick your golf course?

Yeah.

It's amazing Seven
Oaks lasted this long.

Most of these old homes, they
sold off a long time ago.

Something about this
place, it held on.

Well, apparently the family
patriarch started a trust fund

for its upkeep.

Andrew, what if we
did the same thing?

Become patriarchs?

No, no, no, no.

Trust fund, historical status,

Town Council,
Councilwoman Nightmare,

public-private, private-public!

[laughs] Yeah, now I
think I know how you feel.

No, no, no, no, see, see.

We take the capital glut and
we set up a new trust fund

for the purchase of Seven Oaks

and then it gets
historical status.

And then the whole
place becomes a landmark

and a meeting venue
and a public park

and the building stays
up and open for everyone.

Picnics, events,
reunions, weddings.

And all those brides
can still march

down the staircase, Andrew!

You had me.

And you definitely lost me.

But I actually think I get it.

Could it work?

Yeah, yeah, it could
work, it could work.

- [bright upbeat music]
- I've gotta let Lisa know.

I gotta let Lisa know!

♪ Oh, gotta get to you now

♪ Need you somehow, some way

We figured it out!

We figured out how
to save Seven Oaks!

[Lisa laughs]

The trust fund?

Historical status?

A beautiful park packed
with happy families?

Public private?

- Private public.
- Private public!

You knew this whole time
and didn't say anything?

Well, I wasn't sure.

And I mean, you needed to
talk to your brother anyways.

I don't want Seven Oaks to
come between the two of you.

I'm headed back to get
started on the paperwork.

And I'll send you...

Right.

And if there's anything that
I don't explain well, just-

I'll ask you about anything
I don't understand.

Good.

Good.

Well, I'll see you in
the office on Monday.

Much to do.

So I guess you'll be
going back to the city.

Yeah, I guess I will be.

Unless there's a
reason for me to stay?

I can't think of anything.

Can you?

No.

Not at the moment.

Bye.

Bye.

[insects chittering]

This may be one of our
last nights in Seven Oaks,

but it's the beginning
of many new firsts.

Tomorrow is Whitney's first
day as a married woman.

Woohoo!

And Lisa's first
day as Chairwoman

of the Seven Oaks
Historical Society.

Opening up our beautiful home

for so many more
families to enjoy.

And soon I'll be
going to Florida

to find myself a
wonderful new house.

Gram!

Florida?

Think of the flowers I'll
be able to grow all year.

- Cheers.
- Cheers.

[glasses clinking]

But before all of that,
we still have tonight.

And we still have Seven Oaks.

And we still have each other.

And in that spirit, I have
something for each of you.

Whitney.

And Lisa.

[laughs]

The set will be split between
the two of you one day.

I hope you don't mind
my breaking it up.

I think 30 place settings
a piece is plenty.

And then some.

But I wanted you each to
have one piece tonight.

To remind you that
families grow and change,

houses come and go,

but we'll carry our love and
memories into the future.

Oh, and on that note,
I am going to bed.

You ladies might not
need your beauty rest,

but I certainly do.

Love you.

[kisses]

Speaking of the future,

what happened with
you and Matthew?

I half expected to
see him lurking about.

In the best kind of lurking way.

He's going back to the city.

What?

After everything you
two have been through?

Um, yeah, I...

I don't think I'll
see him ever again

after the trust is finalized.

Is that what he said?

Well, in not so many words.

How many words exactly?

Well, none exactly.

You know, the heart decides
what the heart decides.

So you just decided
to make assumptions

about his feelings
without asking him?

If it's true that
the heart decides,

then your heart gets a say too.

So what's it saying?

My heart...

My heart is saying I don't know.

I'm going to bed.

I need beauty sleep too.

But you,

you're gonna be
the most beautiful bride.

I love you.

[bright, upbeat music]

Little sister to
the rescue again.

Hi.

The front desk called my room

and said that you were down
here wanting to talk to me?

This is for you.

You don't have to open it.

It's an invitation to
my wedding, tomorrow.

That's very kind
of you and Geoff

but I really should
be getting back...

Hey!

You just saved my family
home from getting turned

into the 19th hole.

And I just took the time

to hand-deliver a
wedding invitation

the night before
I'm getting married.

You will be there tomorrow

or by heaven, you will
know the true meaning

of the word bridezilla.

Honored to be invited.

Can't wait to dance
at your wedding.

Oh, and you know how that
whole actually talking

to your brother thing
worked out really well?

Keep that in mind, okay?

Sure thing.

See you tomorrow.

[calm music]

Are you happy now?

Yes.

Good.

Because I have a wedding
to get to, you know.

What time is it?

Oh, it's almost three.

We've gotta get you
ready, the guests...

- Just one more minute.
- [knocking]

Get that while I fix this.

[gentle music]

Matthew?

What are you doing here?

I was invited.

Upon threat of unleashing
the Bridezilla.

I'm not bossy, I'm the bride.

Um...

I didn't think I'd
ever see you again.

I don't know if that means
you're glad to see me or not,

so I better just ask.

Which is it?

I'm glad to see you.

I've been thinking a
lot about the future

and I think I would
like you in my future.

If that's what you want too.

I was walking away,

kicking myself for not
saying anything last night.

I would love to
be in your future,

not to mention your present.

Okay, hair fixed, veil gone.

Gotta get married.

- Let's go.
- Ok.

[gentle string music]

Hey.

Okay, love you.

I got this.

[sighs]
