00:01:50Come on, that can't be the best idea we have.

00:01:53It is the 200th anniversary of Morton, Illinois,

00:01:57the town that my family founded

00:02:00and where the Morton Pumpkin Company started.

00:02:04We need to do something special.

00:02:07Actually, I'm from Half Moon Bay, California,

00:02:10and we're the pumpkin capital of the world, so...

00:02:17What did you just say?

00:02:20It's no big deal.

00:02:22A lot of cities call themselves the pumpkin capital of the world.

00:02:25I just know that Half Moon Bay is the best place for pumpkins.

00:02:31How long have you been here, Ms. Hanlon?

00:02:33Like three months.

00:02:37That's long enough.

00:02:39You're firing me?

00:02:42Over pumpkins?

00:02:44Pumpkins are our lifeblood here at the Morton Pumpkin Company.

00:02:49Morton is the pumpkin capital of the world.

00:02:54And if you don't respect that, you don't respect me or my company.

00:02:59They're just pumpkins.

00:03:02I rest my case.

00:03:08Pumpkins...

00:03:11are incredibly important to me...

00:03:15and my business.

00:03:18Hey, I get it.

00:03:21My aunt and uncle are from Circleville, Ohio.

00:03:25Get out.

00:03:29Leave the donut.

00:03:38What about a jack-o'-lantern festival?

00:03:44A jack-o'-lantern festival?

00:03:47I don't know.

00:03:49I've never been to a jack-o'-lantern festival.

00:03:52I've never been to a jack-o'-lantern festival.

00:03:56A jack-o'-lantern contest?

00:03:58To celebrate Morton's 200th anniversary.

00:04:02People can come from all over the world and compete in the contest...

00:04:06and see who makes the best jack-o'-lantern.

00:04:12Jack-o'-lanterns aren't made all over the world.

00:04:16They aren't?

00:04:17No.

00:04:18As a matter of fact, Halloween isn't even celebrated all over the world.

00:04:25What is wrong with you people?

00:04:30This is about pumpkins.

00:04:34Not Halloween.

00:04:36Not jack-o'-lanterns.

00:04:40Garcovida...

00:04:42people.

00:04:43What?

00:04:44Pumpkins!

00:04:46You really should learn your history of pumpkins and pumpkin-related holidays...

00:04:49if you wish to continue working here, Mr. Pinedo.

00:04:52Sorry, sir.

00:05:03Next?

00:05:11Oh!

00:05:12Miss Patel, you have an idea?

00:05:17What about a spice-off?

00:05:20Spice-off?

00:05:21Sure.

00:05:22We can see who can make the best pumpkin spice latte.

00:05:29A bit cliche...

00:05:31but I think we're getting closer to what we're looking for.

00:05:36The Great Pumpkin Bake-Off.

00:05:40Excuse me?

00:05:41The Great Pumpkin Bake-Off.

00:05:43That's what we will call it.

00:05:46Your great-grandmother used to enter her pumpkin pies into contests...

00:05:51and they were the best pumpkin pies there.

00:05:55I remember the story.

00:05:57Now there are so many pumpkin dishes.

00:06:00Pumpkin pies.

00:06:02Pumpkin bread.

00:06:03Pumpkin cookies.

00:06:05Pumpkin ravioli.

00:06:06Pumpkin spice cakes.

00:06:07So, why don't we have a cooking contest...

00:06:11where people can enter any recipe they want...

00:06:14as long as pumpkin is the star ingredient.

00:06:19I love this.

00:06:21You can hold it in conjunction with the Morton Pumpkin Festival.

00:06:25Nice of you to join us, Mr. Coburn.

00:06:27I didn't think you were paying attention.

00:06:29I was doing some history on Morton.

00:06:32It appears as though this year is the 55th annual Morton Pumpkin Festival.

00:06:36And?

00:06:37That's already an established event.

00:06:40I want something new.

00:06:42Over 75,000 people coming from all over the world...

00:06:46to attend a pumpkin festival.

00:06:48It lasts for four days.

00:06:50I see where you're going with this, Mike.

00:06:52You do?

00:06:54Sure.

00:06:55There's a ton of marketing done for the pumpkin festival.

00:06:58We can just piggyback off of that...

00:07:00for the 200th celebration.

00:07:02Yeah, we can get the Morton Chamber of Commerce to help out.

00:07:06I mean, they run the pumpkin festival.

00:07:08And there won't be any extra work.

00:07:10Work is already being done for the four-day festival.

00:07:12Right, it's just adding an extra event.

00:07:14Or several.

00:07:16If we have smaller bake-offs within each category...

00:07:20we can move it to the finals on the final day.

00:07:23Oh, and we can finish the whole thing with a ball.

00:07:26A ball?

00:07:27Sure.

00:07:28Cinderella's coach...

00:07:30was made from a pumpkin.

00:07:32That's a great idea.

00:07:40All those in favor of the great pumpkin bake-off?

00:07:44Aye.

00:07:46All those opposed?

00:07:53Let's get on this, people.

00:07:55Meeting adjourned.

00:08:03Hi, Mrs. DeVriest.

00:08:05Hi, Lynn.

00:08:07Here you go. Fresh-baked this morning.

00:08:10Thank you so much.

00:08:12You know, you really do make the best pumpkin pies in the county.

00:08:14You're too kind.

00:08:16You should enter that bake-off that everybody's talking about.

00:08:18Bake-off? Where?

00:08:20It's happening here in Morton, during Pumpkin Fest.

00:08:22Where's Morton?

00:08:24I don't know.

00:08:25I don't know.

00:08:26I don't know.

00:08:27I don't know.

00:08:28I don't know.

00:08:29I don't know.

00:08:30It's happening here in Morton, during Pumpkin Fest.

00:08:32Where did you hear that?

00:08:33In the morning talk show.

00:08:34The one with that handsome host.

00:08:36He had Madison Bell on during the food segment.

00:08:38Madison Bell?

00:08:40I love Madison Bell.

00:08:42I love that handsome host.

00:08:44Lynn, you gotta see this.

00:08:46Well, hello, Peter.

00:08:48Hi, Mrs. DeVriest.

00:08:49I'm sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt.

00:08:51No, you're fine.

00:08:52You must have seen the news this morning.

00:08:54About the great pumpkin bake-off?

00:08:55Yes.

00:08:56So this is really a thing?

00:08:57Oh, it's not just a thing, Lynn.

00:08:59The top prize is a million dollars.

00:09:01A million dollars?

00:09:02I told you you should enter.

00:09:04You didn't say the prize was a million dollars.

00:09:06It's more than that.

00:09:07Every category has a prize of 50 grand.

00:09:0950 grand?

00:09:10Well, you two have a lot to discuss here,

00:09:12so I'm just gonna take my pie and head home.

00:09:15Maybe check the news again.

00:09:16Here you go, Mrs. DeVriest.

00:09:18What's this?

00:09:19For your kids.

00:09:20You are too kind, Lynn.

00:09:22Thank you.

00:09:23And you enter that bake-off.

00:09:25Nobody deserves to win it more than you do.

00:09:30Ah!

00:09:47Let me see that.

00:09:49You could totally win it, Lynn.

00:09:52I don't know.

00:09:53They're opening up entries to people all over the world.

00:09:55You're the best baker in the world.

00:09:57Hardly.

00:09:58I'm serious.

00:09:59There's no one out there that can bake like you.

00:10:01You never even left Morton.

00:10:03It doesn't matter.

00:10:04I know the best when I see it, and I'm seeing it.

00:10:07Thank you for calling the confectionery.

00:10:09How may I help you?

00:10:11I was just looking over the details.

00:10:15I will.

00:10:16Thank you.

00:10:17Bye.

00:10:18Who was that?

00:10:19Mr. Langenbach, asking if I'd heard about the contest.

00:10:22See?

00:10:24He was probably just being nice.

00:10:26Okay.

00:10:27Why don't you pick up the phone there?

00:10:29Thank you for calling the confectionery.

00:10:31How may I help you?

00:10:33Hi, Grandma.

00:10:36I'm thinking about it.

00:10:39I will, okay?

00:10:42Okay, I will.

00:10:43I love you.

00:10:44Bye.

00:10:45Told ya.

00:10:46She's my grandma.

00:10:47Of course she's going to want me to enter.

00:10:49Come on, Lynn.

00:10:50You should enter.

00:10:51There's a huge prize and no fee.

00:10:53What have you got to lose?

00:10:54I'll think about it.

00:10:55Lynn.

00:10:56Don't you have to go to work or something?

00:10:58I'm not going anywhere until you say you'll enter.

00:11:02Thank you for calling the confectionery.

00:11:03How may I help you?

00:11:05Mayor Kaufman.

00:11:07What a pleasant surprise.

00:11:08What can I do for you?

00:11:12I was just telling Peter I was planning on entering.

00:11:17Tonight?

00:11:20Okay.

00:11:21What time?

00:11:23Sure.

00:11:26Okay, we'll see you then.

00:11:28Bye.

00:11:30That was the mayor?

00:11:31Yeah.

00:11:32And he wants you to enter?

00:11:34Yeah.

00:11:35Which you will.

00:11:36Yeah.

00:11:37And you're freaking out because?

00:11:39He wants us to come to dinner tonight and bring two pumpkin pies.

00:11:43Tonight?

00:11:44Yeah.

00:11:45You can come, right?

00:11:46Yeah, absolutely.

00:11:47What time?

00:11:48Um, 7 p.m. at his house.

00:11:52Okay, well, you better get to baking.

00:11:55Those pies aren't going to make themselves.

00:11:57Right.

00:11:59I'll pick you up at your house at 6.30.

00:12:01Okay.

00:12:02Later!

00:12:03Bye, Pete.

00:12:22I'm sorry, but we're closed.

00:12:36Oh.

00:12:37Your door was open.

00:12:39But the sign says closed.

00:12:41Hmm.

00:12:43Well, I was, uh, I was walking outside and I smelled something wonderful baking.

00:12:48So I gave it a push.

00:12:51What happened?

00:12:52Again, we're closed.

00:12:57It smells as if you're baking.

00:13:00I am.

00:13:01This is a bakery, after all.

00:13:04A closed bakery.

00:13:06We closed early.

00:13:08So you're not going to sell me anything?

00:13:12Sure.

00:13:14What would you like?

00:13:18Well, I don't know.

00:13:20Nothing interests you?

00:13:24Nothing in the case.

00:13:27So what are you baking?

00:13:30Pumpkin pie.

00:13:31Sounds good.

00:13:32I'll take one.

00:13:34I'm sorry, they're not for sale.

00:13:37This is a bakery, right?

00:13:40Yes.

00:13:41A closed bakery.

00:13:44And you just baked a pumpkin pie.

00:13:46I bake, too.

00:13:47But you won't sell me one.

00:13:48Right.

00:13:49Why?

00:13:50Because...

00:13:51They're not for sale.

00:13:55I think you're missing the point of what a bakery is.

00:14:01And I think you don't know how to take no for an answer.

00:14:06Is that so wrong?

00:14:10Look, I'm happy to sell you anything in the case or refrigerator, even though my bakery is closed.

00:14:18Pumpkin pies?

00:14:19Not for sale.

00:14:21So why'd you bake them?

00:14:23I'm bringing them to a dinner tonight.

00:14:25Well, it just so happens I need to take something to a dinner I'm attending as well.

00:14:29If you prefer, there's a lovely Prosecco at the liquor store down the street.

00:14:37Are you kicking me out of your bakery?

00:14:41Not yet.

00:14:48Prosecco it is.

00:14:50And remind me to buy you a glass if we ever meet up again.

00:14:56We won't.

00:14:58Enjoy your dinner.

00:15:00You too.

00:15:06And you've never seen him before?

00:15:08No.

00:15:09And I hope I never do again.

00:15:11Maybe he's a reporter covering Morton for the bake-off.

00:15:14Already? I doubt it.

00:15:16Just announced yesterday.

00:15:18Yeah, you're right.

00:15:20He most definitely was not from around here.

00:15:22Why do you say that?

00:15:24The way he was dressed.

00:15:27Well, what's wrong with the way people in Morton dress?

00:15:31Nothing. It's just...

00:15:33He was dripping with money. You could tell by his clothes.

00:15:36Oh.

00:15:37And his hair.

00:15:39What?

00:15:40His hair. It was all done up.

00:15:43I don't follow.

00:15:44So he's not from around here.

00:15:46Because of his hair.

00:15:47Right.

00:15:48And his clothes.

00:15:49Yeah.

00:15:50And he's dripping with money.

00:15:53Well, don't make it sound like that, Peter.

00:15:55You said it, not me. I'm just trying to follow.

00:15:58Just... never mind. Forget it, okay?

00:16:02Lynn, you're too nervous.

00:16:05Of course I'm nervous.

00:16:06When's the last time you went to dinner at the mayor's house?

00:16:10Never mind. Don't answer that.

00:16:11Your dad is the president of the Chamber of Commerce.

00:16:14It's just dinner.

00:16:15It's not like they're judging your pies for the great pumpkin bake-off.

00:16:19Everybody wants me to enter my pies.

00:16:22Do you know how many people called me today?

00:16:24A lot.

00:16:25A lot.

00:16:26And they were all asking if I was entering.

00:16:29So?

00:16:30So, it's a lot to carry on my shoulders.

00:16:33Because Warren is the pumpkin capital of the world.

00:16:36People are going to be looking at me.

00:16:38Then don't enter.

00:16:41I don't have that choice.

00:16:43Lynn, you always have that choice.

00:16:46If you don't want to enter, then don't.

00:16:49Really?

00:16:50Really.

00:16:51You're being too hard on yourself, Lynn.

00:16:53You're the best baker that I know.

00:16:55I know that you're going to win.

00:16:56Your family knows you're going to win.

00:16:58The whole town knows you're going to win.

00:17:02I think everyone's just excited for you.

00:17:05And they're excited that Morton is finally going to be put on the map.

00:17:14Maybe you're right.

00:17:18Can you say that again?

00:17:20No, I really need to record that.

00:17:24Come on, we're going to be late.

00:17:25No, come on. Just one more time.

00:17:27Please. And like a little louder.

00:17:28No, let's go.

00:17:33Lynn, Peter, I'm so glad you could make it.

00:17:35Hi, May.

00:17:36Nice to see you, Mrs. Kaufman.

00:17:38Please call me May. There's no need to be so formal, Lynn.

00:17:41Okay, May. You have a lovely home.

00:17:46Let me take those.

00:17:48I can help you.

00:17:49Nonsense. I'll just put them in the kitchen.

00:17:51We're having everything catered tonight anyway.

00:17:52Catered? What's the occasion?

00:17:54The CEO of Morton Pumpkin Company is here for a visit.

00:17:57Oh, wow. Isn't he a descendant of one of the founders of Morton?

00:18:01Yes. And he also came up with the idea of Bake Off.

00:18:06I can't wait to meet him.

00:18:08He also happens to be one of the most eligible bachelors in Chicago, Lynn.

00:18:13I don't think Lynn's looking for romance tonight, May.

00:18:16Why not? You never know when you're going to meet the person you want to spend the rest of your life with.

00:18:21Please don't set me up with him.

00:18:24I won't.

00:18:25I'll just introduce you two and let the fire ignite itself.

00:18:28May!

00:18:29He's really handsome.

00:18:31Is she always like this?

00:18:34Yep. Come on. Let's go find Mayor Coffman.

00:18:38Mayor Coffman. Nice to see you.

00:18:41You remember Lynn Travis from the confectionary?

00:18:43Of course. So glad you could make it.

00:18:45Thank you so much for inviting me, Mr. Mayor.

00:18:48Well, dinner wouldn't be complete without your pumpkin pie for dessert.

00:18:52So that's why you wouldn't sell me those pies.

00:18:55You.

00:18:59Chris Coffman.

00:19:03So you already know each other?

00:19:05Yeah.

00:19:06Uh, no.

00:19:07Not exactly.

00:19:09Pierce Morton.

00:19:12Peter Mendel. This is Lynn Travis.

00:19:16Lynn's the best baker in town.

00:19:18Oh, is that so?

00:19:19Best in Illinois.

00:19:21I wouldn't go that far.

00:19:23Nonsense.

00:19:24I'd say you're the best pumpkin pie baker in the entire U.S.A.

00:19:28The whole world.

00:19:31Oh. Oh. Please, continue.

00:19:33I'm enjoying the various shades of red you're turning.

00:19:36Look, Lynn is just being modest.

00:19:38I'll tell you something.

00:19:40I'm sure she is going to win our entire bake-off.

00:19:43Mayor Coffman.

00:19:44I agree.

00:19:45No one can outbake Lynn.

00:19:47Especially with pumpkin pies.

00:19:49Well, I wouldn't know. She wouldn't sell me any.

00:19:53You could have purchased anything in that case, and I told you that.

00:19:58Dinner is served.

00:20:00Wow.

00:20:01Saved by the bell.

00:20:12This is great.

00:20:14Just great.

00:20:23If everyone's okay with it, I'd love to offer up Grace before dinner.

00:20:28Mr. Morton, this is Pastor Mark of Grace Church.

00:20:31He's a prominent figure in Morton, as well as a good family friend.

00:20:36You don't mind if he says Grace, do you?

00:20:38Oh.

00:20:39I don't mind.

00:20:40I don't mind.

00:20:41I don't mind.

00:20:42I don't mind.

00:20:43I don't mind.

00:20:44I don't mind.

00:20:45I don't mind.

00:20:46I don't mind.

00:20:47I don't mind.

00:20:48I don't mind.

00:20:49I don't mind.

00:20:50I don't mind.

00:20:51Oh.

00:20:52Of course not.

00:20:53By all means, please do.

00:20:54Let's all join hands.

00:21:03Heavenly Father, thank you for the food we're about to eat.

00:21:06Thank you for our wonderful town, our kind citizens, and our great mayor.

00:21:11Thank you for bestowing upon us the opportunity to show the whole world just how special Morton is through the great pumpkin bake-off.

00:21:18We ask that you continue to watch over us and guide us along your path.

00:21:22In your name we pray.

00:21:23Amen.

00:21:24Amen.

00:21:25Amen.

00:21:26Is this how it always is?

00:21:29If you mean being grateful for what we have and the opportunities we've been given, then yes.

00:21:35I'd like to offer a toast.

00:21:38To Pierce Morton, the great, great grandson of the founder of Morton, as well as the entire Morton family.

00:21:45Thank you for putting Morton on the map.

00:21:48Literally.

00:21:53Cheers.

00:22:03Lynn.

00:22:05Have you had a chance to talk with Mr. Morton tonight?

00:22:07Or is Jeff chewing his ear off?

00:22:10It's fine.

00:22:11I'm sure they have a lot to talk about.

00:22:12Nonsense.

00:22:13Jeff.

00:22:14Jeffrey, dear.

00:22:17Yes, dear?

00:22:18Why don't you let Lynn and Mr. Morton have a chance to speak?

00:22:22Please, just call me Pierce.

00:22:25Well, Pierce, Lynn owns the confectionary.

00:22:28You should check it out sometime.

00:22:30It used to be the town's police station.

00:22:32It even still has jail cells in the back.

00:22:34I went there today, but I had no idea of the history.

00:22:38Do the jail cells work?

00:22:40Yes, that's where I keep my grumpy customers.

00:22:43Well, maybe you can show me sometime.

00:22:45Lynn's actually pretty busy with the bake-off and all, so...

00:22:49Well, the bake-off isn't until September at Pumpkin Fest.

00:22:53I do need time to prepare.

00:22:55I haven't even read the rules yet.

00:22:58Tell you what, I'll drop a copy off tomorrow.

00:23:01I'm improving them tonight.

00:23:02Isn't that nice of him, Lynn?

00:23:05Yeah, sure.

00:23:07Real nice.

00:23:08I'll swing by before I head back.

00:23:10You're leaving tomorrow?

00:23:12Sunday.

00:23:13I just came into town to check things out.

00:23:17I haven't been here in quite some time, actually.

00:23:19You're staying at his parents' house?

00:23:22Your parents still live here?

00:23:24No, they retired to Arizona, but we kept the house in the family.

00:23:30My great-grandparents actually built it.

00:23:33Hmm, sounds quite charming.

00:23:35Yeah, it is.

00:23:37Hi, come inside.

00:23:38It is.

00:23:39Hi, come see it.

00:23:41I couldn't.

00:23:42Oh, of course you could.

00:23:44No, I'm really busy.

00:23:47Come before breakfast.

00:23:48Matter of fact, come before breakfast.

00:23:51Come by, I'll give you a copy of the rules and I'll show you mine.

00:23:55I thought you said it was your parents' home.

00:24:03And that you lived in Chicago.

00:24:09Yes to both.

00:24:11Here.

00:24:14But I own the house now and I take care of it.

00:24:16Just I haven't been there in a while, so.

00:24:18Hmm.

00:24:22Go on, Lynn.

00:24:24You never know where this is going to go.

00:24:28Fine.

00:24:30But it has to be early.

00:24:32Just so happens, I'm an early riser.

00:24:35Early riser.

00:24:37Should we say 7?

00:24:395.30.

00:24:42Works for me.

00:24:55Well, this looks delicious, Lynn. Thank you.

00:24:58They don't make the best pumpkin pie you'll ever taste.

00:25:01So I've heard.

00:25:03You're too kind, Pastor Mark.

00:25:04I only speak the truth.

00:25:06Well, I'm sure Pierce has tasted his fair share of pumpkin pies.

00:25:10He can be the judge.

00:25:11That I will, Jeff.

00:25:13Quite literally.

00:25:14What do you mean?

00:25:16Well, I'm one of the judges for the bake-off.

00:25:18Actually, I was hoping you'd consider being a judge as well.

00:25:21Absolutely.

00:25:22Well, who else do you have in mind?

00:25:24Well, we're still working on that.

00:25:27But it might be a conflict of interest since you already know what Lynn's pumpkin pie tastes like.

00:25:32Well, I would never choose Lynn's pie just because it's hers or just because she's from Wharton.

00:25:38Well, I'm sure you would. At least not on purpose.

00:25:41So, what are you saying?

00:25:44Well, I just don't think it'd be very fair for Lynn to enter her pumpkin pie into the bake-off, that's all.

00:25:50What? That's what she's known for.

00:25:53I was planning on entering it.

00:25:56Well, you could always enter another category.

00:25:59Tell you what, we'll talk about it tomorrow.

00:26:03Mmm.

00:26:05Not too bad, though.

00:26:07This really is the best pumpkin pie I've ever tasted.

00:26:19I can't believe he's not going to let me make the pumpkin pie.

00:26:24I really don't like him.

00:26:26Well, for what it's worth, I don't like him either.

00:26:29I don't like him either.

00:26:31Why not? He didn't do anything to you.

00:26:33Exactly. He barely spoke to me in there. He's rude.

00:26:38And I saw the way he looked at you.

00:26:40Come on, Pete.

00:26:42I'm serious. He was like a wolf gawking at a lamb.

00:26:46Are you calling me a lamb?

00:26:48Not exactly.

00:26:50What does that even mean?

00:26:52It was like he wanted to pounce on you.

00:26:54I can handle him.

00:26:56You shouldn't have to.

00:26:57Come on, Pete.

00:26:59I'm serious, Lynn.

00:27:01Look, I've wanted to tell you this for a long time.

00:27:04Lynn! Lynn! Hey!

00:27:07Is that your sister?

00:27:09I think so.

00:27:11What's she doing here?

00:27:13I have no idea.

00:27:15Come on!

00:27:20What are you doing here?

00:27:22I have been trying to call you all night.

00:27:24I had dinner with the mayor and I left my phone at home.

00:27:27What's wrong? Are Blaze and Julie okay?

00:27:30Yes, they're fine. I just need to talk to you.

00:27:33Hey!

00:27:35Hi, sweetie!

00:27:37Are they okay?

00:27:39Do you mind staying out here with Julie while I talk to Lynn?

00:27:42Julie's here?

00:27:44She's in the car.

00:27:47Yeah, sure. No problem.

00:27:51Let's go inside.

00:27:55Okay.

00:28:02She's just selfish and takes everything for granted.

00:28:05I mean, it doesn't help that you and Blaze don't say no to her, Brooke.

00:28:09I know, I know. It's just easier to give her what she wants than fight.

00:28:13You don't have to fight, you know.

00:28:15You don't have kids.

00:28:17Believe me, when I do, they will have to earn everything they get.

00:28:20Well, that's what Blaze has been saying.

00:28:22She's 14 now and she needs to start taking on some responsibilities,

00:28:26like doing chores around the house, even making her bed when she wakes up in the morning.

00:28:30Okay, so what's the problem?

00:28:32I'm leaving to shoot a film in France tomorrow.

00:28:35Julie was supposed to come with me.

00:28:37Our nanny was going to take her and her best friend around while I'm on set.

00:28:40And?

00:28:42Well, Blaze was able to come home for the past three days

00:28:45and he walked into Julie's room and it was a total mess.

00:28:47And he said, you need to clean this up.

00:28:49And she said, that's what the maid is for.

00:28:53And he hit the roof.

00:28:55Not a good answer.

00:28:57We realized she's just a spoiled brat

00:28:59and we don't want to reward her with a trip to France because she's just going to keep it up.

00:29:03I mean, I don't think you're wrong.

00:29:06So Blaze canceled the trip.

00:29:09What about your movie?

00:29:11Exactly. I still need to go and I'm filming until September.

00:29:13Oh, no. Brooke, come on.

00:29:16Please, I wouldn't ask you if I wasn't in a bind.

00:29:20Okay, what about mom and dad?

00:29:22I can't get her to them tonight. My flight's at 6 a.m.

00:29:25Tomorrow?

00:29:27Yes! Lynn, I'm begging you, please.

00:29:30I don't know.

00:29:32You're her godmother. She loves you. I trust you with her life.

00:29:37I know, but what am I supposed to do with her?

00:29:40How am I supposed to keep her off of her phone and entertained?

00:29:43Oh, she lost phone privileges. No electronics all summer.

00:29:47Brooke, you're really putting me in a lousy position.

00:29:51I know and I'm so sorry. I'll pay you.

00:29:54I don't want you to pay me. Besides, money's not going to fix this.

00:29:58It's so last minute and I've got this pumpkin bake-off thing I've got to do.

00:30:02Teach her to bake.

00:30:04What?

00:30:06Come on, Lynn. She can work at the confectionary with you.

00:30:08She needs to know what a traditional life is like.

00:30:14Rather than coming from a movie star mom and a pro baseball player dad,

00:30:18there is nothing more traditional than Morton.

00:30:22You can say that again.

00:30:25And we grew up here.

00:30:28She needs to know what her roots are, Lynn.

00:30:31Please.

00:30:38Thanks for bringing our luggage up, Pete. I don't know what I'd do without you.

00:30:42It's what I'm here for. If you need anything else, just give me a call.

00:30:45You're leaving?

00:30:47Yeah, I figured I'd give you and your sister a chance to talk a little more before she goes back to St. Louis.

00:30:50Is everything alright up there? I heard yelling.

00:30:53Oh yeah, there was yelling. And when that didn't work, the tears started.

00:30:58What have I gotten myself into?

00:31:01Hey, it's all going to work out.

00:31:04How can you be so sure?

00:31:05God doesn't give us things we can't handle.

00:31:08Yeah, but my sister sure does.

00:31:13Hey, you got this. And if you don't, you got me to help.

00:31:19Thanks, Pete. Good night.

00:31:22Night.

00:31:36Good morning, Julie. Time to wake up.

00:31:41Come on, Jules. Rise and shine. Time to take the day by storm.

00:31:47What time is it?

00:31:495.30.

00:31:515.30?

00:31:53Yeah.

00:31:55In the morning?

00:31:57Of course in the morning.

00:31:59I didn't even know there was a 5.30 in the morning.

00:32:02We've got to be at the bakery by 6, so let's go. Wakey, wakey, eggs and bakey.

00:32:06Come on, Ellen. Let me sleep.

00:32:09No. We've got work to do.

00:32:13Work.

00:32:15Yes, come on. Let's go.

00:32:18I made your favorite cinnamon rolls.

00:32:20That's what I saw.

00:32:22Come on, Sleeping Beauty. Let's go. Chop-a-chop.

00:32:25You know, if I were in France, they'd be treating me like royalty.

00:32:28Well, if you play your cards right, you might get treated like royalty here.

00:32:33Yeah.

00:32:35As if.

00:32:38Don't make me dump that glass of water over there on your head.

00:32:42Fine. I'm up. I'm up.

00:32:45Great. Get dressed. Let's go.

00:32:59Oh, look. There she is.

00:33:05Jake Riley, Morton Village Bugle. Mind if I ask you a few questions?

00:33:09I don't know. I really need to open up the shop.

00:33:13Oh, no. Go ahead, Lynn. Please. We'll wait.

00:33:16I'm a celebrity now.

00:33:18A celebrity.

00:33:20You are in Morton.

00:33:22Okay. Sure. Go ahead.

00:33:24So, will you be entering the Grey Pumpkin Bake Off?

00:33:27Of course she is.

00:33:30What category will you enter?

00:33:32I don't even know what categories there are.

00:33:34The bakery category. No question.

00:33:36And why is that?

00:33:38The confectionery is the cornerstone of Morton.

00:33:41It used to be the Morton Police Department.

00:33:44There's even working jail cells still in the back.

00:33:46There is no other bakery like it.

00:33:48So, I suppose you could say you're going to lock up the competition, huh?

00:33:51You have to use that.

00:33:53I just might.

00:33:55I really need to open up the bakery.

00:33:57Could I ask you one last question?

00:33:59Sure.

00:34:01What are you going to make?

00:34:03Well, she won't be able to make her pumpkin pie, unfortunately.

00:34:06She'll have to make something entirely different.

00:34:08And why is that?

00:34:10Two of the judges were at dinner last night.

00:34:13And Pierce Morton said that she won't be able to enter it

00:34:17because they'll already know what it tastes like.

00:34:18Wait, you're disqualifying her pie because they already ate it?

00:34:22That's not fair!

00:34:24Calm down, Julie.

00:34:26My aunt makes the best pumpkin pie in the world.

00:34:30She wins all sorts of contests for it.

00:34:33Which is exactly why we're here.

00:34:35What do you mean?

00:34:37Since you can't enter your pumpkin pie,

00:34:41we're all here to buy one and try to replicate it

00:34:45for the amateurs category.

00:34:46You can't copy her pie.

00:34:49You're all here to buy pumpkin pie?

00:34:54Yes.

00:34:56May called me as soon as you left last night

00:34:58and I said we needed to spread the word.

00:35:00We can't risk having someone outside of our town

00:35:03locking up the pumpkin pie category.

00:35:05That's not fair.

00:35:07Darling, Morton is the pumpkin capital of the world.

00:35:12We have to work together to keep our title.

00:35:15I'll be opening up my shop in five minutes.

00:35:18Thank you for your time.

00:35:20No, thank you.

00:35:22Come on, Julie.

00:35:24That's cheating, by the way.

00:35:26It's for Lynn.

00:35:33What in the world is going on out there?

00:35:35The Great Pumpkin Bake Off.

00:35:37So? That's in September.

00:35:39It's over two months away.

00:35:41I know. People are excited.

00:35:42They want to steal her pumpkin pie.

00:35:44What?

00:35:46Desiree, you remember my niece, Julie, right?

00:35:48Of course. What's up, Jules?

00:35:50She'll be spending the summer with me.

00:35:52And working here, I hope.

00:35:54I'm too young to work.

00:35:56You're going to help out.

00:35:58I don't even know how to bake.

00:36:00You're going to learn.

00:36:02Especially since all of these people want pumpkin pie.

00:36:04I'm sorry, all of them?

00:36:06Aunt Lynn got disqualified from making her pie for the Bake Off

00:36:09and now everybody out there wants to replicate it.

00:36:11That's cheating.

00:36:13That's what I said!

00:36:15It doesn't matter. Right now we need to open the bakery.

00:36:17I'm not ready. I need 30 minutes before we can open.

00:36:19I know.

00:36:22I have an idea.

00:36:24Yeah? What's that?

00:36:26I can go outside and take ten orders at a time and bring them back to you.

00:36:30Yeah?

00:36:32When did you get so smart?

00:36:34I've seen Mom's personal assistant do stuff like this all the time.

00:36:36I think she calls it crisis management.

00:36:37Alright, let's get to work.

00:36:44I can't believe how many people are out there.

00:36:46I can't believe it.

00:36:48There are so many other bakeries in town.

00:36:50Yeah, but you make the best pumpkin pie.

00:36:52Thank you.

00:36:54No, it's true. It's too bad you can't enter into the pumpkin pie category.

00:36:57You know about the categories?

00:36:59Yeah, I read all about it.

00:37:01How does it work?

00:37:03There are ten categories and each winner gets $50,000.

00:37:05$50,000?

00:37:07Yep, and then those ten winners will go on to play for $1,000,000.

00:37:11I can't even imagine that much money.

00:37:14It's crazy, but you know your sister. You've seen that much money.

00:37:18You know what I mean.

00:37:20Speaking of your sister, what is Julie doing here?

00:37:24It's a long story. She's here for the entire summer.

00:37:28Do you think it's going to be a problem?

00:37:31So far, so good.

00:37:33Those people are crazy.

00:37:36Why? What happened?

00:37:38Every single one of them asked me for your pumpkin pie recipe.

00:37:43But you don't know it.

00:37:45That's what I said.

00:37:47The mayor's wife even offered me $100 if I gave it to her.

00:37:50What did you say?

00:37:52I told her I'm not a sellout.

00:37:54Julie!

00:37:56Atta girl.

00:37:58I wish I just took the money and gave her something I found online.

00:38:00Ooh, that's a good idea.

00:38:02Desi, come on.

00:38:04Fine, fine. What are the orders?

00:38:06So we need 27 pumpkin pies.

00:38:0827?

00:38:10I thought you were just getting the first ten people.

00:38:12I did.

00:38:1427 pies? For ten people?

00:38:16Yeah.

00:38:19How many more people are out there?

00:38:23A lot.

00:38:25A lot.

00:38:30We better get baking.

00:38:54But no matter how you try, you just can't stand.

00:38:59Now when you get back to the water, start flipping your fins.

00:39:03You've forgotten how to swim.

00:39:05You tried to walk so long that your fins feel wrong.

00:39:09And everything looks grim.

00:39:11You can never go back once you leave home waters.

00:39:16You better teach those fins to dance somewhere in between.

00:39:19La, la, la, la, la, la.

00:39:24La, la, la, la, la, la.

00:39:29La, la, la, la, la, la.

00:39:33La, la, la, la, la, la.

00:39:37La, la, la, la, la, la.

00:39:41Did you ever feel like the course was a bit misleading?

00:39:44Did you ever feel like the course was a bit misleading?

00:39:49You never got where you thought you'd get when you went to go.

00:39:54And now you're feeling just like a ship without an anchor.

00:40:00You better batten those hatches down, even so.

00:40:06La, la, la, la, la, la, la.

00:40:09La, la, la, la, la, la.

00:40:13La, la, la, la, la, la.

00:40:17La, la, la, la, la, la.

00:40:20La, la, la, la, la, la.

00:40:23La, la, la, la, la, la.

00:40:26Last pumpkin pie of the night.

00:40:29Thanks, Flynn. I hope I can make mine taste just like yours.

00:40:32If you come in tomorrow, I'll teach you how to make it.

00:40:35Really? Sure.

00:40:37I'll come right after I close.

00:40:39You too?

00:40:41I don't know, Morgan.

00:40:43Why not? If you're giving baking lessons, I want to learn how to make your pumpkin pie.

00:40:48It's sure to win the million dollars.

00:40:50Yeah, but I asked her first.

00:40:53So?

00:40:55So, I'm her best friend. She has to teach me, Morgan.

00:41:00I'm her friend too.

00:41:02I'm sorry, Morgan. I'm not giving baking lessons.

00:41:06But you just said...

00:41:07Morgan, I...

00:41:09I just...

00:41:11It's my pumpkin pie. I'm not going to teach everyone how to make it.

00:41:14Please?

00:41:16It has my secret ingredient.

00:41:19Fine.

00:41:21Good night, ladies.

00:41:23Good night.

00:41:29You're still going to teach me, right?

00:41:31Absolutely.

00:41:33I'm closing up early tomorrow.

00:41:34Yeah, we have to.

00:41:36We've been open four hours longer than normal and my feet are killing me.

00:41:40What about during my lunch?

00:41:42I didn't get to eat lunch today.

00:41:45Julie, I saw you eat. You can't still be hungry.

00:41:48I'm not hungry. I'm tired.

00:41:51I'll come by your shop tomorrow after we close up.

00:41:54That would be so great.

00:41:56Thanks, Flynn.

00:41:58Bye. Good night.

00:42:00If I ever see a pumpkin pie again, it'll be too soon.

00:42:04Same.

00:42:06Come on, Julie. Let's go.

00:42:08I'll clean up.

00:42:10We already did.

00:42:12Really?

00:42:13We sure did. Go home, Bess.

00:42:15All right. I'll see you all in the morning.

00:42:17Night.

00:42:19All right.

00:42:21Ready? One more stop.

00:42:23Relax. It'll be quick. Come on.

00:42:26Fine.

00:42:30So, this is the big stop.

00:42:33A closed church?

00:42:35It's not supposed to be closed.

00:42:37Who are you calling?

00:42:39Pastor Mark.

00:42:45Lynn! You forgot about me tonight.

00:42:48I didn't forget about you. We were very busy at the bakery.

00:42:52And we're going crazy for the bake-off.

00:42:54Well, I'm up at the high school playing basketball.

00:42:56with some of my youth group kids if you want to pop by.

00:43:00I can't. I have to get my niece home.

00:43:03We're really tired.

00:43:05Niece? Are Brooke and Blaze in town?

00:43:07Nope.

00:43:09She's spending the summer with me.

00:43:11Really? I don't think you mentioned that before.

00:43:14No, I didn't.

00:43:16It was all very sudden.

00:43:19Here. Let me put you on speaker.

00:43:22Pastor Mark,

00:43:23meet my niece, Julie Remington.

00:43:25Julie, Pastor Mark.

00:43:27Hi.

00:43:29It's very nice to meet you, Julie.

00:43:31Are you a champion baker like your aunt?

00:43:34We're all pulling for her to win that billion dollar prize, you know.

00:43:37No.

00:43:39If I win that prize, it's going straight to the church.

00:43:42That would certainly be a blessing.

00:43:44You already give so much to us, Lynn.

00:43:47It's the least I can do.

00:43:49What do you want me to do with this money?

00:43:51What do you want me to do with this breakfast for tomorrow?

00:43:56That's a lot of food for one person, Aunt Lynn.

00:43:59It's not for me.

00:44:01Then who's it for?

00:44:03I'm on the coffee team.

00:44:05Every Saturday after the confectionery closes,

00:44:08your Aunt Lynn donates whatever wasn't sold.

00:44:10So then who's going to pay for it?

00:44:13We had no leftovers after tonight.

00:44:16No one. It's my service, Julie.

00:44:18When I don't have leftovers, I donate what I can to the church.

00:44:21I didn't know that.

00:44:23It's fine, Mark. It's my pleasure. Really.

00:44:26Don't think anything of it.

00:44:28Thank you. We do cherish you.

00:44:31Sounds like a waste to me, Julie.

00:44:34Do you go to church with your parents, Julie?

00:44:36When they go, yeah.

00:44:38Do you do anything with your church besides go to service?

00:44:42What else is there to do?

00:44:44So, so much.

00:44:45So, so much.

00:44:47Tell you what, Lynn.

00:44:49Why don't you come to first service tomorrow

00:44:51and set up breakfast with your nieces?

00:44:53Okay.

00:44:55Do we have to?

00:44:57Julie, go wait in the car.

00:44:59Fine.

00:45:01Good night, Mark.

00:45:03Pastor Mark.

00:45:05Pastor Mark.

00:45:07Good night, Julie. God bless.

00:45:12I'm so sorry.

00:45:13She worked all day with me and she's never worked before.

00:45:18Her mom's brung it on both of us that she'd be spending the summer with me.

00:45:22Here. Not in France.

00:45:25Lynn, it's fine.

00:45:27Just bring her tomorrow and I'll take her under my wing.

00:45:29I don't want to be a trouble.

00:45:31It's no trouble at all.

00:45:33Okay.

00:45:35See you tomorrow.

00:45:37Night, Lynn.

00:45:44Oh.

00:45:53Tough day?

00:45:55Long day.

00:45:57How was breakfast?

00:45:59It was good.

00:46:01I made her cinnamon rolls.

00:46:03She was happy for a while.

00:46:05What about Pierce?

00:46:07Who?

00:46:08Pierce. Morton.

00:46:10You said you had breakfast with him or something?

00:46:11No.

00:46:13You forgot?

00:46:15Yes. Please make sure Julie gets to bed, okay?

00:46:17Where are you going?

00:46:19To apologize to Pierce.

00:46:21Lynn!

00:46:42Hi.

00:46:45A little late for breakfast, aren't you?

00:46:47I know. I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to stand you up.

00:46:49My sister dropped off my niece last night at the Blue and then this morning...

00:46:52Yeah, you got quite a line of people coming for pumpkin pie, huh?

00:46:55You saw?

00:46:57I did. Yeah, I actually tried to come in a few times,

00:46:59but everybody started yelling at me to wait my turn, so...

00:47:01They must not have recognized you.

00:47:03Yeah. Did you just close up for the night?

00:47:05Yeah, about an hour ago.

00:47:07Well, hey. Come on in.

00:47:09I can't.

00:47:12I don't bite, you know.

00:47:14It's not that. It's my niece.

00:47:16Well, I'm not going to be back until September.

00:47:18After Pumpkin Fest.

00:47:20I understand.

00:47:22And I'm a judge, so we can't go out or anything

00:47:24until after the bake-off is over.

00:47:26Who said I would go out with you?

00:47:32Playing hard to get, huh?

00:47:34I like that.

00:47:36I'm not playing hard to get, Pierce.

00:47:38I'm being honest.

00:47:40All right. Fair enough.

00:47:42You haven't had a chance to get to know me,

00:47:44so just let me know when you want to make time.

00:47:47I'm sure you're used to possum people around

00:47:49and getting what you want,

00:47:51but you can't do that with me.

00:47:56You should enter the bakery category.

00:47:59Excuse me?

00:48:01Yeah.

00:48:03It's going to be the most difficult category to win.

00:48:05So why would I enter that one?

00:48:06Because I think you're just like me.

00:48:10You like a challenge.

00:48:15Good night, Lynn.

00:48:17I'll see you in September.

00:48:19Good night.

00:48:22Oh, hey, Lynn!

00:48:24Yeah?

00:48:26Good luck.

00:48:28Thanks.

00:48:36Well, you better decide today's the deadline.

00:48:40I just wish there was more time.

00:48:42Lynn, the bake-off was announced two weeks ago.

00:48:45I know, I know.

00:48:47I'm in the amateur baker category.

00:48:49Yeah, you told me.

00:48:51You should enter Julie into the children and teen category.

00:48:54She doesn't want to do it.

00:48:56Why not?

00:48:58She doesn't think she's a good baker.

00:49:00But you're the one that's teaching her.

00:49:02I know. Her confidence just isn't there.

00:49:04Well, you're a great teacher.

00:49:06I know from experience.

00:49:08Thanks.

00:49:11Obviously, you can't enter the kids or seniors category.

00:49:15What about the professional bakers category?

00:49:19No.

00:49:21I'm thinking about entering the bakery category.

00:49:24Lynn, that's going to be the most difficult one.

00:49:28Everyone who owns a bakery wants to see it in the finals just for the exposure alone.

00:49:32Let alone the million bucks.

00:49:34I know, but...

00:49:36Madison Bell is in the professional bakers category.

00:49:40Hmm, so this is your chance to get closer to her.

00:49:44Lulu, don't be like that.

00:49:46What? I know you have pictures of her on your phone.

00:49:48I have pictures of her baked goods on my phone.

00:49:52Whatever. I know that I'm going to win the pumpkin pie category.

00:49:56Oh, you're so sure, huh?

00:49:58It's your recipe and you taught me how to make it.

00:50:01We need to work on your finals dish.

00:50:03I'd stick to the pumpkin pie if I was allowed.

00:50:07You can't?

00:50:09Nope. You have to make something entirely different for the second round.

00:50:13Hmm, interesting.

00:50:16Any ideas?

00:50:18Lots. We've got plenty of time to decide.

00:50:20Okay, great.

00:50:22Is Peter entering?

00:50:24Peter? I don't think so.

00:50:26He should enter the men's category.

00:50:28Why? He doesn't know how to bake.

00:50:30Ugh, so teach him.

00:50:31Lynn, the more people that you have competing because of you,

00:50:34the better chance you have of getting more exposure for the confectionary.

00:50:37I don't need more exposure.

00:50:39We're making at least 100 pies every day.

00:50:43Ever since that article came out, I can barely get through the line each day.

00:50:47That's great, for now.

00:50:50What happens when Pumpkin Fest is over and everything returns to normal?

00:50:57Look, I'll think about it.

00:50:58Do more than that. At least talk to Peter.

00:51:03Fine. I will.

00:51:06So, let's get you entered for the bakery category, then.

00:51:11Great.

00:51:13Do you think Madison will still want to be your friend after you beat her?

00:51:17Lulu, don't be like that.

00:51:19You are going to beat her, though.

00:51:22We'll see.

00:51:24We'll see.

00:51:34Hey, Emily.

00:51:36Hey, no cutting.

00:51:38Oh, I'm just picking up for a second.

00:51:40No cutting.

00:51:42No, I just wait your turn.

00:51:44Okay.

00:51:46Coach, good grief. There's no reason to beat Peter up.

00:51:49Hey, no one's beating me up.

00:51:50Not that you couldn't, because you totally could kick my...

00:51:54I'm just picking up lunch for Lynn.

00:51:58Sorry, Pete.

00:52:00No problem.

00:52:03So, is Renee entering the bake-off?

00:52:08We both are.

00:52:10You are?

00:52:12Yeah. You got a problem with that?

00:52:14No, not at all. I'm just surprised.

00:52:16Why?

00:52:18I didn't know you baked.

00:52:20Renee's teaching me.

00:52:23So, Renee's coaching you.

00:52:26Coaching? Coaching?

00:52:28No, nobody coaches coach.

00:52:30I coach coach.

00:52:32Coach doesn't need a coach, because coach coaches coach.

00:52:35There's only one coach.

00:52:37I'm the coach!

00:52:39I'm the coach!

00:52:41I'm the coach.

00:52:43Nobody coaches coach, because there's only one coach.

00:52:47I coach coach.

00:52:50Yeah.

00:52:52So, Renee is entering.

00:52:55Yes, in the professional category.

00:52:59Because she's a professional.

00:53:02What category are you entering?

00:53:05The men's.

00:53:08Are you entering?

00:53:10Nope, nope, not at all.

00:53:12Didn't even think about it.

00:53:14All you, coach.

00:53:16Good.

00:53:21Here you go, Peter.

00:53:23Thanks, yeah.

00:53:25I gotta go. Bye.

00:53:28Peter, hey!

00:53:30Hey, Lynn. I just dropped off lunch for you.

00:53:32You're too good to me.

00:53:34No, I'm not. I like being good to you.

00:53:36Hey, I'll walk with you. I was actually just talking about you.

00:53:39You were?

00:53:41All good things, I hope.

00:53:43Of course. Lulu brought you up, actually.

00:53:45Lulu?

00:53:47Yeah, she thinks you should enter the bake-off.

00:53:48Hey, I don't know how to bake anything.

00:53:50I know. I told her that.

00:53:52Oh, yeah. There's no way I'm gonna enter.

00:53:54Even if I teach you?

00:53:56Lynn, I just told coach Robinson I wasn't gonna enter.

00:53:59Tell him you changed your mind.

00:54:01Lynn!

00:54:03Please, Pete. Please? For me?

00:54:06For you.

00:54:08Yeah. If you win the category, you advance to the finals.

00:54:11Everyone will know I taught you.

00:54:13So?

00:54:15So it's more advertising for the confectionary.

00:54:16What if I don't even win?

00:54:18Look, I don't really have much time to learn,

00:54:20and you don't have any time to teach.

00:54:22Well, come over some nights after dinner.

00:54:25All we can do is try.

00:54:28I guess.

00:54:30Plus, maybe this will give Julie a confidence boost.

00:54:32What do you mean?

00:54:34She's afraid to enter the kids category.

00:54:36She doesn't think she's good enough.

00:54:38What? She's been baking with you for like two weeks,

00:54:40and she's gonna be with you all summer.

00:54:42I know. She's an angsty teenager.

00:54:44I'm not gonna force her to do something she doesn't want to do.

00:54:46She'll be here.

00:54:48It's not getting any better?

00:54:50It is. She's spending more and more time with the kids at youth group,

00:54:52and Pastor Mark.

00:54:54So she's making friends.

00:54:56Well, that's good at least.

00:54:58Please?

00:55:00Here.

00:55:02Okay, fine.

00:55:04But I'm only doing this for you.

00:55:07Thank you!

00:55:11If Coach Robinson gets angry,

00:55:13I'm telling him it was your fault.

00:55:14Deal.

00:55:16Bye.

00:55:18Bye.

00:55:45Hello, food fans. I'm Shane Sanders.

00:55:47And I'm Amy Price.

00:55:49And we are coming to you live

00:55:51from the 55th Annual Pumpkin Fest

00:55:53and the first ever Great Pumpkin Bake Off

00:55:55held in Morton, Illinois.

00:55:57Morton happens to be

00:55:59the pumpkin capital of the world,

00:56:01so it's appropriate

00:56:03that the Great Pumpkin Bake Off

00:56:05be held here.

00:56:07I'm Amy Price.

00:56:09And I'm Shane Sanders.

00:56:11And I'm Amy Price.

00:56:12So it's appropriate

00:56:14that the Great Pumpkin Bake Off

00:56:16be held right here.

00:56:18With us now is a direct descendant

00:56:20of the founder of Morton

00:56:22and the CEO of Morton Pumpkin Company

00:56:24in Chicago, Pierce Morton.

00:56:26Pierce, welcome.

00:56:28Shane, Amy, it's great to be here.

00:56:30So Pierce, tell us about

00:56:32why you decided to host

00:56:34the Great Pumpkin Bake Off

00:56:36here in Morton

00:56:38and give away $1 million

00:56:40to the best baker.

00:56:42See, my family,

00:56:44they have a lot of respect

00:56:46and pride for Morton.

00:56:48My great-great-grandfather

00:56:50founded Morton.

00:56:52And I just thought this was

00:56:54a terrific way to celebrate.

00:56:56Why not just keep it

00:56:58to the people in Morton?

00:57:00Well, when I do things,

00:57:02I like to do them big.

00:57:04Besides, we want to show

00:57:06the world that Morton

00:57:08really does have the best pumpkins,

00:57:10not to mention the best bakers

00:57:12in the competition.

00:57:14The favorite baker

00:57:16is none other than

00:57:18Morton's own Lynn Travis.

00:57:20So I've heard.

00:57:22Lynn owns the confectionery

00:57:24here in Morton

00:57:26and has entered the bakery category.

00:57:28What does that mean?

00:57:30Well, the bakery category

00:57:32is our most difficult category.

00:57:34We have 347 bakeries

00:57:36entering from all around the world.

00:57:38Wow, that's a lot.

00:57:40Yeah, it really is,

00:57:42and they have to wait

00:57:44from 8 p.m. until 3 o'clock

00:57:46this afternoon to create their entry,

00:57:48bring it to the gymnasium.

00:57:50All the entries are numbered,

00:57:52and then at that point,

00:57:54it's just a blind taste test.

00:57:56And so we'll be announcing

00:57:58the winner tonight at 8 o'clock.

00:58:00You heard it here first, folks.

00:58:02Be back tonight at 8

00:58:04to see which bakery

00:58:06will be going on to the finals.

00:58:08Bake a leg, everyone.

00:58:10That's really good.

00:58:12Thank you.

00:58:17Excuse me.

00:58:19Are you Lynn Travis?

00:58:21I am.

00:58:23I'm Madison Bell.

00:58:25I own Simple Sweets in New York City.

00:58:27Wow.

00:58:29It's so nice to meet you.

00:58:31I read about you in Baker's Monthly

00:58:33last November.

00:58:35And I've been reading a lot

00:58:37about you as well.

00:58:39People around here really seem

00:58:40to enjoy seeing so many people

00:58:42entering from all over the world.

00:58:44Especially in this category.

00:58:46Why did you enter your bakery?

00:58:48I thought it'd be better for me

00:58:50if I got my bakery's name out there,

00:58:52you know?

00:58:54Yeah, I guess,

00:58:56especially in a small town like this.

00:58:58Do you ship?

00:59:00I'd like to start.

00:59:02Nice.

00:59:04So I read an article

00:59:06that you have jail cells in your bakery.

00:59:08I do.

00:59:10Give them a taste of cake

00:59:12and a preview of married life.

00:59:17You should come and see it

00:59:19while you're in town.

00:59:21Can I? I'd love that.

00:59:23Sure, I'm at 131 South Plum.

00:59:25Come by whenever you'd like

00:59:27and when there's a lull,

00:59:29I'll show you around.

00:59:31What time do you close?

00:59:33During Pumpkin Fest,

00:59:35usually around 7.

00:59:37Great, I'll come by the end

00:59:39of the day.

01:00:41Yeah, it's fun.

01:00:43It goes by fast.

01:00:45I've never done five miles

01:00:46before, ever.

01:00:48Well, we'll take it slow.

01:00:50I don't have a bicycle.

01:00:52That's okay, you can borrow one.

01:00:54You just need a helmet.

01:00:56I don't have that either.

01:00:58Mmm!

01:01:00Okay, well,

01:01:02I'm sure there's something

01:01:03we can do around here.

01:01:04Like?

01:01:07at noon,

01:01:08followed by a barbecue.

01:01:13Of course!

01:11:36and she seems to be having a blast.

01:11:37I can't believe it's the same kids

01:11:38since the beginning of summer.

01:11:39Yeah, she's come a long way

01:11:40in the last few months.

01:11:49Not one bit.

01:11:50Neither am I.

01:11:51You two have nothing

01:11:52to worry about.

01:11:53Oh, you think so?

01:11:54I know so.

01:11:56Why is that?

01:11:57Because neither of you

01:13:09But you're gonna make it

01:13:14You're gonna make it

01:13:17Hello from Morton, Illinois,

01:13:19the pumpkin capital of the world.

01:13:21I'm Shane Sanders.

01:13:22And I'm Amy Price.

01:13:24And we are live at the first ever

01:13:26Great Pumpkin Bake Off Finals.

01:13:28That's right, Shane.

01:13:29Tonight, someone will walk out

01:13:31of Morton High School auditorium

01:13:33with a check for $1 million.

01:13:36That's a lot of dough.

01:13:38The way it works is simple.

01:13:40The judges have already been

01:13:41sequestered at Village Hall.

01:13:43Each of the ten bakers

01:13:44will be assigned a number

01:13:45between one and ten.

01:13:47Their workstations

01:13:48are set up on the stage

01:13:49for the crowds to watch them

01:13:50prepare their ingredients.

01:13:52Once completed,

01:13:53they will take them

01:13:54to the home economics room

01:13:55where they will bake.

01:13:56Once finished,

01:13:57the judges will head

01:13:58to the gymnasium

01:13:59to taste the finished baked goods

01:14:02and declare the winner.

01:14:04The winner will be announced

01:14:06tonight at 10 p.m.,

01:14:07which means the contestants

01:14:09only have two hours to bake.

01:14:11Now it's time to meet our bakers.

01:14:13And kids, don't pie this at home.

01:14:16Boy, that one really takes the cake.

01:14:18I'm a legend in the baking.

01:14:22Madison.

01:14:23Hi.

01:14:25I was hoping you were still here.

01:14:28Where is everyone?

01:14:31They all went to the finals.

01:14:32Desi just left.

01:14:35Do you want to walk with me?

01:14:37Yeah, sure.

01:14:38Let's see the jail cells first.

01:14:40I have a flight early tomorrow

01:14:41and I just have to see them.

01:14:43Okay.

01:14:44Come on.

01:14:45Go around that way.

01:14:52Come on, back here.

01:14:55Okay.

01:15:03Oh.

01:15:04My.

01:15:05Goodness.

01:15:06They're real.

01:15:07Of course they're real.

01:15:09I actually had to clean the one out

01:15:10because people read the article

01:15:11and they wanted pictures taken inside.

01:15:13Would you mind taking one with me?

01:15:15Thanks.

01:15:17Oh, don't close it all the way.

01:15:19Why not?

01:15:20It locks and I don't have the key.

01:15:22Good to know.

01:15:25Here.

01:15:27Fun, right?

01:15:28Totally.

01:15:29Now, let me get one of you.

01:15:31I've got plenty.

01:15:32We should probably head to the school.

01:15:33Oh, come on.

01:15:34Just one?

01:15:35I have to show everybody back in New York

01:15:37that I met the Lynn Travis.

01:15:41Okay, fine.

01:15:43But we have to-

01:15:45Madison!

01:15:46What are you doing?

01:15:47Making sure I win.

01:15:49You're the only baker I was worried about.

01:15:52Madison!

01:15:53That's cheating.

01:15:55It's for a million dollars.

01:15:57Who cares how I get it?

01:15:59Anyone from my bakery can compete.

01:16:01There's no way your assistant can bake as well as you do.

01:16:05I'll take my chances with her.

01:16:07Madison, come on!

01:16:08Let me out!

01:16:09You said it yourself.

01:16:10There's no key.

01:16:12So even if I wanted to let you out,

01:16:14I couldn't.

01:16:17Madison, come on!

01:16:19Don't worry.

01:16:20Someone will find you in the morning.

01:16:22Toodles!

01:16:23Madison!

01:16:25Madison!

01:16:30Where is she?

01:16:31I don't know.

01:16:32Her cell went straight to voicemail.

01:16:33I tried her four times already.

01:16:34Try the store line.

01:16:50No answer.

01:16:51Okay, you stay here.

01:16:52I'll go check her house.

01:16:53Okay.

01:16:54What about me?

01:16:55What should I do?

01:16:56Don't worry, okay?

01:16:57Just go inside and cheer on your friends.

01:16:58Don't worry!

01:16:59She's my aunt!

01:17:00I'm sure she's just fine, okay?

01:17:03Go have fun.

01:17:04Whatever.

01:17:11How do you think you'll do in the finals, Madison?

01:17:13Quite frankly, I think I'm going to do great.

01:17:16I don't want to jinx it,

01:17:17but I have a feeling I'm going to be a millionaire after this.

01:17:21Well, you certainly sound confident.

01:17:23What can I say?

01:17:24I have the competition all locked up.

01:17:32I know where she is!

01:17:34Where are you going?

01:17:50She was supposed to be here by now.

01:17:51Do you know where she is?

01:17:52Maybe she's with Miss Orrin until she goes on stage.

01:17:55Maybe.

01:17:56Let's take our seats.

01:17:57...and is now host of Feed My Belly.

01:18:08Wow!

01:18:09Thank you!

01:18:10Thank you!

01:18:11Wow!

01:18:12Thank you so much!

01:18:13Wow!

01:18:14It is so good to be back home.

01:18:16It really is,

01:18:17especially around Pumpkin Fest.

01:18:19But I've got to tell you,

01:18:20I've really been looking forward to tonight's competition

01:18:23and the Great Pumpkin Makeoff.

01:18:25And that said,

01:18:26let's meet our finalist, shall we?

01:18:28He came, he saw, he baked some bread.

01:18:32Please welcome to the stage

01:18:33Sean Schmidt from the Schmidt Baking Company.

01:18:36Give it up for him!

01:18:37Come on!

01:18:39Sean is making emulsion-drained pumpkin bread this evening

01:18:42with whipped honey butter.

01:18:43Sounds amazing.

01:18:46Hey, Lynn!

01:18:47I'm in here.

01:18:50It's Madison.

01:18:51She locked me in.

01:18:52I knew it!

01:18:53How do you get out?

01:18:54Only Peter knows.

01:18:56Or a locksmith.

01:18:58I'll get Peter.

01:18:59Julie, no.

01:19:00There's no time.

01:19:01What do you mean?

01:19:02The contest is about to start.

01:19:04I need you to bake for me

01:19:05and represent the confectionary.

01:19:07No way!

01:19:09Julie, please.

01:19:10The confectionary cannot be a no-show.

01:19:12It would ruin my reputation.

01:19:15I'm not good enough.

01:19:16Of course you are.

01:19:18What about Desiree?

01:19:20Where is she?

01:19:22I don't know.

01:19:23She was looking for you in your house.

01:19:25Please, Julie.

01:19:26There's no time.

01:19:27I wouldn't ask you if it wasn't an emergency.

01:19:30I don't even know what to bake.

01:19:32Think of the one thing you've baked

01:19:33over and over all summer.

01:19:36I bet it's your favorite thing to make

01:19:37because people love it so much.

01:19:39Pumpkin bars!

01:19:40That's what I was going to make.

01:19:42Desi doesn't know how.

01:19:43I never shared the recipe with her.

01:19:46Just, all the ingredients will be at your station.

01:19:49Bake them like you're baking here.

01:19:51Bake with love.

01:19:53I don't know.

01:19:55Julie, please.

01:19:57For me.

01:19:59I have faith in you.

01:20:00Just have a little faith in yourself.

01:20:03I love you, Antlin.

01:20:04I love you, too.

01:20:05I'm going to bake off.

01:20:11She's known for her beauty

01:20:12and for her sweets.

01:20:14Please welcome to the stage

01:20:32You got it.

01:20:33Madison Bell, everybody.

01:20:36Thank you.

01:20:43Julie, where's Lynn?

01:20:45In jail.

01:20:46What?

01:20:47What'd she do?

01:20:49In the back of the bakery.

01:20:52What are we going to do?

01:20:53That was the seventh competitor.

01:20:54They have Lynn going on last.

01:20:56I'm going to bake.

01:20:57You?

01:20:58Me.

01:20:59And I'm going to win.

01:21:00But you're just a kid.

01:21:02Pete, trust me.

01:21:03I'll be fine.

01:21:05Are you sure?

01:21:06If Antlin says I can do it,

01:21:08I know I can.

01:21:14Going through the backstage.

01:21:23Last, but certainly not least,

01:21:25Morton's sweetheart.

01:21:37The Confectionary

01:21:38from Morton, Illinois.

01:21:41Are you here, Lynn?

01:21:47Looks like she's a no-show.

01:21:50The rules clearly state

01:21:51that I have to announce

01:21:52the contestants' name

01:21:53at least three times

01:21:54before they're disqualified.

01:21:55Okay.

01:21:56Sorry.

01:21:58Do we have a baker

01:21:59from The Confectionary?

01:22:02Me.

01:22:06Lynn Travis's niece,

01:22:07and I'm going to bake

01:22:09for The Confectionary.

01:22:15This is going to be better

01:22:17than I expected.

01:22:20Do you really think

01:22:21you're going to beat the best?

01:22:25No.

01:22:27But I can beat you.

01:22:30Julie will be making

01:22:31pumpkin bars

01:22:32for The Confectionary.

01:22:34Ladies and gentlemen,

01:22:36start your baking.

01:22:42Lynn!

01:22:43Mary!

01:22:44Are you okay?

01:22:45You have to get me

01:22:46out of here.

01:22:47I will.

01:22:48Did Julie make it in time?

01:22:49Yeah.

01:22:50Is she okay?

01:22:51She's fine, I promise.

01:22:52How long will it take

01:22:53you to get me out?

01:22:54Less than five minutes.

01:22:55Then do it.

01:22:58No.

01:23:00No?

01:23:01Why not?

01:23:02Okay, I've been trying

01:23:03to tell you something

01:23:04for weeks now,

01:23:05and every time I try

01:23:06and tell you,

01:23:07I get interrupted.

01:23:08I know.

01:23:09I've been so busy

01:23:10ever since that dinner

01:23:11at the mayor's house.

01:23:12It's okay.

01:23:13More people in my shop

01:23:14this summer than ever before.

01:23:15Lynn, I know.

01:23:16With Julie here,

01:23:17I haven't even had a moment

01:23:18to think something else.

01:23:19I love you.

01:23:21Wait.

01:23:22What?

01:23:23I love you, Lynn.

01:23:24I've loved you ever since

01:23:25we went to senior prom together.

01:23:28But we were just friends then.

01:23:30That's all we've ever been.

01:23:32But I want more.

01:23:36More?

01:23:38More than friends.

01:23:40I mean, I've felt this

01:23:41in my heart for so long,

01:23:43but I just never had

01:23:44the chance to tell you.

01:23:45So you're choosing

01:23:46to tell me now?

01:23:47There's no time

01:23:48like the present, right?

01:23:50And...

01:23:52something tells me

01:23:53no one's going to

01:23:54interrupt me in here.

01:23:56This isn't fair.

01:24:00Life isn't fair, Lynn.

01:24:03Look, when Pierce

01:24:04came back into town,

01:24:05I thought for sure

01:24:06that you were going

01:24:07to end up with him.

01:24:08So you're telling me

01:24:09because he's back in town?

01:24:10I'm telling you

01:24:11because I love you.

01:24:14I love you.

01:24:15Because I love you.

01:24:19And it is about time

01:24:20that I tell you.

01:24:30Aren't you going to

01:24:31say anything?

01:24:34Can...

01:24:36Can you just let me out?

01:24:38Yeah.

01:24:40Yeah, okay.

01:24:47Well, it appears that

01:24:48Coach Robison is the first

01:24:49to bring his engine

01:24:50to be baked.

01:24:51He's made his wife's

01:24:52signature autumn scones,

01:24:53and he'll be back

01:24:54to the stage later on

01:24:55to make that delicious

01:24:56pumpkin glaze.

01:24:59Coach Robison, everybody.

01:25:02Coach Robison, everybody.

01:25:04Coach Robison, everybody.

01:25:05Coach Robison, everybody.

01:25:06Coach Robison, everybody.

01:25:43if I told you.

01:25:45Try me.

01:25:46Tomorrow.

01:25:47Tonight's Julie's night.

01:25:51Oh, she'll win.

01:25:52How are you so sure?

01:25:54She's doing it for Lynn.

01:25:55She's fueled by faith.

01:25:56She's driven by love.

01:26:00My great-grandmother

01:26:01would be very proud of her.

01:26:03And I do hope

01:26:04that she continues

01:26:05the tradition.

01:26:08Well, it's my privilege

01:26:09and honor

01:26:10to announce to you

01:26:57in attendance

01:26:58from all over the world,

01:26:59we shattered

01:27:00all of our previous records.

01:27:02That's partially due

01:27:03to the first ever

01:27:04Great Pumpkin Bake Off.

01:27:10And while we all expected

01:27:11Lynn Travis

01:27:12from the Confectionary

01:27:13to bring home the grand prize,

01:27:15it was her niece,

01:27:16Julie Remington,

01:27:17who won the million dollars

01:27:18after baking Lynn's

01:27:19famous pumpkin bars.

01:27:22Julie, stand up

01:27:23so we can all see you.

01:27:25So, all in all, Morton,

01:27:27we really experienced

01:27:28some amazing things this year.

01:27:30Pastor Mark.

01:27:31Yes, Julie?

01:27:32I have something to say.

01:27:34Well, come on up here, darling.

01:27:47When I got here

01:27:48in the beginning of June,

01:27:49I had no idea

01:27:50what I was going to do.

01:27:52When I got here

01:27:53in the beginning of June,

01:27:54I felt like I had

01:27:55my entire summer

01:27:56taken from me.

01:27:58You see, I live in St. Louis.

01:28:00My parents are really famous,

01:28:02and to be honest,

01:28:03they make a lot of money.

01:28:06I'm sure you know

01:28:07my mom's the actress,

01:28:08Brooke Remington,

01:28:09and my dad is a professional

01:28:10pitcher for the Cards.

01:28:11Before I came to stay

01:28:12with my Aunt Lynn,

01:28:13I planned to spend

01:28:14the summer in France

01:28:16with my nanny

01:28:17and best friend

01:28:18while Dad traveled

01:28:19for the season

01:28:20while Mom filmed a movie.

01:28:22I expected a great summer.

01:28:24I didn't care what it cost.

01:28:26I wanted everything,

01:28:28and I usually got it.

01:28:30My parents finally had enough

01:28:33and saw me for what I was,

01:28:35a spoiled brat

01:28:36that didn't appreciate

01:28:37anything she had

01:28:38and took everything

01:28:39for granted.

01:28:40So Mom brought me here

01:28:42to Morton

01:28:43so I could learn

01:28:44to be a better person.

01:28:46You know,

01:28:47be more like all of you.

01:28:49Over the past few months,

01:28:51I saw what good people

01:28:52actually look like,

01:28:54how good friends

01:28:55are supposed to treat each other,

01:28:57why I need God in my heart

01:28:59and faith in my mind,

01:29:01and what true love is.

01:29:04I found myself.

01:29:06I discovered the person

01:29:07that I was always meant to be,

01:29:09the person that I know

01:29:11my parents will be proud of.

01:29:14For that,

01:29:15I thank you,

01:29:16all of you.

01:29:19Pastor Mark,

01:29:20you and the church

01:29:21have done so much,

01:29:22not only for me

01:29:23and my family,

01:29:24but for the entire community

01:29:26and beyond.

01:29:27I'd like to give you

01:29:28my million dollar prize.

01:29:30Julie!

01:29:32It's okay, Aunt Lynn.

01:29:34What I learned here

01:29:35is worth way more

01:29:36than a million dollars.

01:29:38Thank you, Pastor Mark.

01:29:39Thank you, Julie.

01:29:41applause

01:30:12May I cut in?

01:30:14I'd prefer you didn't.

01:30:16I'm not after your woman, Peter.

01:30:18Go dance with Julie.

01:30:20Give us a minute.

01:30:22Fine.

01:30:24Enjoy.

01:30:30You're torturing him,

01:30:31you know.

01:30:32Yeah, I know.

01:30:34laughs

01:30:36I saw what Aunt Lynn

01:30:37did with her bridesmaid.

01:30:39She's got a big heart.

01:30:41Imagine her donation

01:30:42to the church,

01:30:43and I'm going to create

01:30:44a college fund for her.

01:30:46Pierce,

01:30:47that's so generous.

01:30:49I'm leaving the money

01:30:50with you, alright?

01:30:51I just, I...

01:30:52I just don't want her

01:30:53to know about it

01:30:54until she's 18,

01:30:55alright?

01:30:56Thank you.

01:30:58She won't.
