00:00:00All right kids, time to tidy up and get back to class.
00:00:04Don't forget your books that you checked out from Mrs. Jenkins.
00:00:07Okay, bye Matt, bye Jack.
00:00:09Lila, we'll see you later.
00:00:11Bye Lila.
00:00:16What's wrong?
00:00:17Bryson won't let me play with him at recess.
00:00:19Why not?
00:00:20I don't know, he's mean.
00:00:22Maybe he's just having a bad day.
00:00:24Have you ever had a bad day that made you cranky with others?
00:00:27My mom says that I do.
00:00:29Well, maybe Bryson just needs some space right now.
00:00:32Why don't you go ask Tristan if you can play.
00:00:35And Lila.
00:00:36But they always play soccer and sometimes my leg hurts when I run.
00:00:40Mine too.
00:00:41But, maybe you can try?
00:00:43And if your leg gets too tired, you can always take a break and cheer on Tristan and Lila.
00:00:47Okay?
00:00:48Okay, thanks Miss Ashlyn.
00:00:55Mark and Bryson not getting along again?
00:00:58Yep.
00:00:59Thanks for handling that today.
00:01:01Sure. All the reading charts are copied, I put them in the homework folders back in the class.
00:01:05Perfect. Time for you to go, right?
00:01:07Yeah. See you tomorrow.
00:01:09Thanks.
00:01:11You could say that I was lost.
00:01:14I wandered down an empty broken road.
00:01:18No idea where my life was supposed to go.
00:01:22Just had to somehow make it on my own.
00:01:24The classroom is its own community.
00:01:26It's your domain, but also your students.
00:01:29How can we foster that sense of community to be a constructive place of life?
00:01:34Let's discuss the case study on page 17.
00:01:37Except for you.
00:01:47Well, your expenses have gone up.
00:01:49And the bad news is that it's reduced your profits.
00:01:52But the good news is, you're taxed for less.
00:02:08To the sun and out of the dark.
00:02:12Be back after my next class.
00:02:16Math has to be the priority.
00:02:17Not if I can help it.
00:02:18It comes down to literacy.
00:02:20Without it, a student's learning rate is slowed down.
00:02:22True.
00:02:23By 45%.
00:02:25See how the math matters?
00:02:26Yeah, don't get him started on number books over picture books.
00:02:38Okay.
00:02:40Miller's taxes are done.
00:02:42Good, good.
00:02:43How are the Ramsey returns going?
00:02:46I just finished entering all the tax records they gave us.
00:02:49They are missing a 1099 from a bank they had last year.
00:02:52I put a note in their file.
00:02:54You are moving so quickly.
00:02:56I don't know how you do it with everything you're juggling, but you're leaving me in the dust.
00:03:00Oh, Mr. Henry, you keep up just fine.
00:03:02Besides, I feel like this year is lighter than last.
00:03:05That's because all of my clients are getting old, like me.
00:03:08And the younger generation don't come looking for an expiring accountant for their taxes.
00:03:14You are not expiring.
00:03:16But the day is.
00:03:18You should go home and get some rest, Ashlyn.
00:03:20I wish.
00:03:21Too much homework.
00:03:23Kids are going to be lucky to have you as a teacher one day, but I sure will miss you when you finish your degree.
00:03:30Don't worry.
00:03:31There's still a while until that happens.
00:03:34Have a good night.
00:03:35You too.
00:04:04Maryam, what are you doing here?
00:04:14My size 7 Jimmy Choo shoe box is bigger than this place.
00:04:18That's enough for me.
00:04:20Can I get you something to drink?
00:04:22Oh, something bottled.
00:04:23And sparkling.
00:04:25I have tap water.
00:04:26Ew.
00:04:27Then what did you offer?
00:04:30Did you need something?
00:04:32I'm getting married.
00:04:34Congratulations.
00:04:36I need you to come along for the wedding.
00:04:38It's next week.
00:04:41That's kind of quick, isn't it?
00:04:42We've been engaged for months.
00:04:44Didn't you know?
00:04:45You never call or text, so no.
00:04:48Sure I do.
00:04:49No, that's me calling you to wish you a happy birthday or Merry Christmas.
00:04:53Well, anyway, pack a bag.
00:04:55We leave tomorrow.
00:04:57What?
00:04:58Tomorrow?
00:04:59We're having a destination wedding.
00:05:01The Caribbean.
00:05:02Bruce is renting a beautiful villa so our families can spend time together, so you'll come.
00:05:07I have my classes, and I'm interning at the school, plus I have work.
00:05:11I can't afford a trip to the Caribbean, or anywhere else for that matter.
00:05:14Stop complaining.
00:05:16Think of it as a vacation.
00:05:17You're not listening.
00:05:19I don't have time for a vacation.
00:05:21But you're family.
00:05:23Since when?
00:05:25You're being dramatic.
00:05:26You may have married my father, but you have never treated me like family.
00:05:32After your father died, I did the best I could as a widow with two children and you.
00:05:41Still?
00:05:43I can't drop everything for this.
00:05:45Do you know how much tuition costs?
00:05:47I have to work so I'm able to afford-
00:05:49What have I paid for your tuition?
00:05:52Talk to your professors, or whatever.
00:05:54Arrange it so you can take the time off, and I will give you the money you need for your tuition.
00:06:00Why do you need me to go?
00:06:01I mean, I didn't even know that you were engaged.
00:06:04Bruce is a widower.
00:06:06We found common ground about losing a spouse.
00:06:10You came up as we shared our different experiences, so naturally he wants you to meet him.
00:06:15And his son.
00:06:17Besides, it'll look strange if you don't come.
00:06:21Ashlyn, wouldn't your father want you to do this for me?
00:06:26Wouldn't he want you to support our family?
00:06:33When does the flight leave?
00:06:41This is Miriam Vanderbilt. Please leave me your information so I can return your call. Ciao.
00:06:46Miriam, I'm here, but I didn't see you or Jerry or Fiona on the plane. I'm not sure where to go.
00:06:55Oh, I just got your message with the address. I guess I'll meet you there.
00:07:16Hi.
00:07:38About time you showed up.
00:07:40Hello, Fiona.
00:07:41Come on.
00:07:43Beautiful, isn't it?
00:07:46No, don't get all starry-eyed. Mom doesn't want you to embarrass her.
00:07:50She's the one that asked me to come.
00:07:52Well, I'm planning it all, so don't get in my way.
00:07:54You are?
00:07:55It's my job. Wedding planner.
00:07:57I thought you were a fashion buyer.
00:07:59Ugh. Didn't work out.
00:08:02I didn't think you'd get bored with shopping.
00:08:05So, how long have you been here?
00:08:07About an hour or so.
00:08:08I didn't see you on the flight.
00:08:10Mom, Jerry and I flew first class.
00:08:12Of course.
00:08:14Hey, how did you like your seat, though? Picked it out myself.
00:08:18Yeah, yeah. Being by the bathroom in the seat that doesn't recline was great.
00:08:28Oh, there you are, Ashlyn.
00:08:31What took you so long?
00:08:32I didn't know where to go, and I thought you'd wait for me.
00:08:35You were left at the airport?
00:08:37Our taxi was full. Ashlyn was a dear to come after us.
00:08:43Especially since she knew how eager I was to see you.
00:08:47Well, I am so glad we're all here.
00:08:50Ashlyn, I'm Bruce. It's very nice to finally meet.
00:08:54I've heard great things about you.
00:08:56Oh, thank you. It's wonderful to meet you, too, and congratulations on the engagement.
00:09:03My son Noah is grilling out back, but you should come meet him.
00:09:06Sure. Maybe Ashlyn should put her things away first. Jerry, show her to her room.
00:09:13Good idea. You come on out after you've had a chance to get settled, and I'm going to go check and make sure he doesn't burn the meat.
00:09:20Thanks.
00:09:22Help her with her bags, Jerry.
00:09:31Hurry up, Ash.
00:09:37Ugh.
00:09:39Mom thought you'd feel at home in this room.
00:09:42Thanks.
00:09:44How you been?
00:09:45Busy.
00:09:47Must be sports season.
00:09:49It always is somewhere.
00:09:51How much are you betting now?
00:09:52None of your business. And stop with that judgy tone of yours.
00:09:56And if anyone asks, I'm a sports statistician.
00:10:00That sounds official.
00:10:02I make more than I lose.
00:10:03Sure you do.
00:10:04Mom's fine with it.
00:10:06And Bruce?
00:10:08Bruce is proud I'm a sports statistician.
00:10:14You misspelled statistician.
00:10:20Dinner will be ready soon, and the table needs to be set.
00:10:23Get to it.
00:10:37Ah!
00:10:39It's cold.
00:10:41Oh, shush.
00:10:47That one needs to be turned.
00:10:50You second-guessing my grilling?
00:10:52Never.
00:10:53Yeah, sure you're not.
00:10:55I'll tell you what. I'll leave you to turn these as you see fit, and I'll go grab a platter.
00:10:59All right.
00:11:07Oh.
00:11:10Hi.
00:11:13Sorry, um...
00:11:17Hi.
00:11:20I'm Noah.
00:11:21Ashlyn.
00:11:24Welcome.
00:11:25Thanks.
00:11:27Um, do you know which table I should set?
00:11:30Sure.
00:11:31Welcome.
00:11:32Thanks.
00:11:34Um, do you know which table I should set?
00:11:36Uh, I'm guessing the one on the patio.
00:11:40Thanks.
00:11:41Do you want some help?
00:11:42Oh, no, that's okay. I can...
00:11:44Here.
00:11:53This is Miriam's other daughter.
00:11:56Stepdaughter.
00:11:57I don't know if I'll get used to that when my dad gets remarried. The whole, uh, step thing.
00:12:02You're an adult. Shouldn't change your life too much.
00:12:05I guess you're right.
00:12:07She and your dad got married when you were little, right?
00:12:10Yeah. Yeah, I was nine.
00:12:12Wow. That's tough.
00:12:15I mean, sorry. Uh, Miriam told me he passed away after, like, two years.
00:12:20Yeah. Yeah, it was... it was a hard time.
00:12:24At least, thankfully, you had Miriam.
00:12:27Yeah.
00:12:29Um, what about your mom?
00:12:33She passed away a few years ago.
00:12:35My dad has realized he doesn't want to be alone, so...
00:12:39Here we are.
00:12:41You and your dad close?
00:12:42Yeah.
00:12:44I was even gonna go work for him, but decided I should try to make it on my own.
00:12:48At least at first.
00:12:49What do you do?
00:12:50I work for an engineering firm.
00:12:52Like, building machines, or...?
00:12:55Architectural.
00:12:56That sounds neat.
00:12:58It is. I almost didn't study it because of all the math and calculations, but, uh, I stuck with it.
00:13:05Good for you. I would have avoided anything that involves too much math.
00:13:11So what do you do?
00:13:12Oh, I work for an accountant.
00:13:14And that's not math?
00:13:16No, it's... it's a tax accountant. I mostly record numbers, data. It's nothing I really have to stew over.
00:13:23I think you're being modest.
00:13:25That's our Ashlyn. Ever so modest.
00:13:28Noah, your father's looking for that platter.
00:13:31Oh, right. I'll be right back.
00:13:34No rush. We'll finish up here.
00:13:38You forgot the silverware.
00:13:48That was perfect.
00:13:50Noah, I'm so impressed. You'll have to give me your recipe for that marinade.
00:13:54Sure.
00:13:55Like she ever cooks.
00:13:57Look, I know I've said it before, but I am so glad we're all here.
00:14:01I wish we could relax, but we have greater things to do.
00:14:04The wedding plans.
00:14:06Ah, yes.
00:14:07Oh, don't begrudge me a little excitement.
00:14:09Oh, honey, of course not.
00:14:13How did you two meet?
00:14:16They work together.
00:14:19I never heard the full story.
00:14:22I've told it so many times, I thought for sure you'd heard it.
00:14:26Well, Bruce develops real estate, and I decorated the model homes.
00:14:30She has quite the eye.
00:14:31Of course I do. I picked you, didn't I?
00:14:34Yes, you did.
00:14:36I started a construction company years ago.
00:14:39Sometime later, I got into development, mostly residential homes.
00:14:43There was this homebuilders' convention.
00:14:45I was drumming up business when Miriam introduced herself.
00:14:48It took me decorating three homes before he had the nerve to ask me out.
00:14:52Come on, go easy on me.
00:14:54You can be quite intimidating.
00:14:56Where are you getting married?
00:14:58A little church I picked out nearby.
00:15:00It is the cutest thing.
00:15:02We'll have to stop by and make sure everything is in order.
00:15:05When is it?
00:15:07Next week, Thursday?
00:15:09It's next Friday.
00:15:12Ashlyn has been so busy with her schooling.
00:15:15It's kept her whole focus.
00:15:16She's hardly thought about the wedding.
00:15:18You're going to school and work for an accountant?
00:15:21Yes.
00:15:23Yes, of course. And the accountant, too.
00:15:26That sounds like a lot.
00:15:28No wonder we haven't seen you all these months.
00:15:30My loss.
00:15:32We'll make up for it now, won't we?
00:15:34Exactly as planned.
00:15:36For us all to be together.
00:15:42Bruce asked me to come up with some way for us to celebrate.
00:15:44Bruce asked me to come up with some way for us to get to know each other better.
00:15:48So, I thought of this game.
00:15:50It's all about your favorite things.
00:15:52So, what do we do?
00:15:54Okay, you pick a card, and you read it.
00:15:56Favorite food.
00:15:58And then everyone gets one guess as to what my favorite food is.
00:16:02Whoever gets it, wins the card, and goes next.
00:16:05And if no one gets it, I win the round.
00:16:09Wonderful idea, Fiona.
00:16:11Jerry, why don't you go first?
00:16:14Fine.
00:16:17Favorite sport.
00:16:19That's a good one for you. Basketball.
00:16:21Baseball.
00:16:23Going with basketball, too.
00:16:25Football.
00:16:27That's it.
00:16:29I got it first.
00:16:31Okay, my turn.
00:16:33Favorite holiday.
00:16:35Christmas.
00:16:37Christmas.
00:16:39Thanksgiving.
00:16:41Christmas.
00:16:42Who likes to dress up?
00:16:44Yeah.
00:16:46Okay.
00:16:48Let's see.
00:16:51Favorite hobby that you rarely get to do.
00:16:54Okay.
00:16:56Okay, got it.
00:16:58Painting.
00:17:00Cleaning.
00:17:02Reading.
00:17:04Okay, Miriam, you've got this.
00:17:06Let me think.
00:17:08Something you like, but rarely do.
00:17:10Crocheting.
00:17:12You used to love it, but with you being so busy...
00:17:15No, I don't know how to crochet.
00:17:18I thought I'd get it for sure.
00:17:22Noah?
00:17:25Something you like, but rarely do.
00:17:29I know what mine would be, so I'll go with that for a shot in the dark.
00:17:34Fishing?
00:17:36Yes, actually.
00:17:37Really?
00:17:39Yeah, my dad used to take me all the time when I was little.
00:17:41I fell in love with fly fishing, but it's hard to find the time.
00:17:44I know what you mean.
00:17:46Okay, moving on.
00:17:48Noah, your turn.
00:17:50Sure.
00:17:55Favorite song.
00:17:57Oh, Richard Marx.
00:18:00I'll be right here waiting for you.
00:18:03No, that is very specific, though.
00:18:06And old.
00:18:08Anyone else?
00:18:10They'll never get it.
00:18:12Go ahead, Dad.
00:18:14Claire de Lune, your mother's favorite.
00:18:16She used to play it on the piano.
00:18:18How sweet.
00:18:33I love you.
00:18:47I would have thought you'd be tired.
00:18:49You know, with all the traveling.
00:18:51Maybe, but I have too much to keep up on.
00:18:54Did your professors give you a hard time about this trip?
00:18:57Yeah, especially since it came up from nowhere.
00:19:00It did?
00:19:02It snuck up on me.
00:19:05So what are you studying?
00:19:07Education.
00:19:09I also have an internship at an elementary school right now.
00:19:13Wow, that's a lot.
00:19:16Anything I can do to help?
00:19:18No, but thanks.
00:19:21I'm not just asking to be polite.
00:19:23Besides, the sooner you get your homework done, the sooner you can enjoy this trip.
00:19:28Well, I do have a test when I get back.
00:19:32I keep pushing it aside.
00:19:34Want me to quiz you?
00:19:36Sure.
00:19:38Here are a few things.
00:19:40I'm pretty sure we'll be on the test.
00:19:42Okay.
00:19:49Still strange, isn't it?
00:19:51Yeah.
00:19:53It's a side of her I've never seen before.
00:19:54Has been fun giving my dad dating advice, though.
00:19:59Okay, let's see. First question.
00:20:06We'll have about 50 guests, just our closest friends.
00:20:10There's plenty of space.
00:20:12Is it too much space?
00:20:14It's going to look like no one came.
00:20:16I think it's just the right size.
00:20:19Oh, Mom, the decorator called about the deposit.
00:20:22Sweetheart, it's due tomorrow.
00:20:25Yes, I'll take care of it.
00:20:27Hey, what do you think?
00:20:30It's nice. Good spot for it.
00:20:33Ashlyn, do you like it?
00:20:36I do.
00:20:38It reminds me of the church my dad and Miriam got married in.
00:20:43Did the priest have a problem with birds being released indoors?
00:20:47Almost got the birds reserved.
00:20:48You know, I was thinking, let's save those for when we drive off after the reception.
00:20:52But it's so much more impactful during the ceremony.
00:20:56But they're birds inside a church. Think of the mess.
00:21:00I've always wanted to have them at my wedding, and here's my last chance.
00:21:04I wonder if you could persuade the priest?
00:21:08But if you think it's too much, well, I trust your judgment.
00:21:12I'll think of something and try my best.
00:21:33You're not being very nice.
00:21:36What do you mean?
00:21:38I don't want Bruce feeling like you're against this wedding.
00:21:41I'm not.
00:21:43Then stop being so morose. Cheer up. He's a good man.
00:21:46I think so too.
00:21:48Good. Then don't ruin this for me.
00:21:51Hey everyone, we better hurry. I have one more stop planned for us.
00:21:54Really?
00:21:56Bruce, what do you have up your sleeve?
00:22:03Birds?
00:22:05Yeah, I thought it'd be fun. But you hate it.
00:22:08Fiona loves animals. Let's go.
00:22:11Oh, how pretty.
00:22:14Great idea, Bruce.
00:22:16Yeah. Great.
00:22:18Look at that one right there.
00:22:20Nice.
00:22:22Here you go.
00:22:24Thank you so much.
00:22:26You're welcome.
00:22:28All right, everybody. Why don't we share?
00:22:31Here you go.
00:22:33Here, Noah. I'll share with you.
00:22:36Oh, thanks.
00:22:37Do you want to just hold it yourself?
00:22:40This is fine.
00:22:42What is this bird thing?
00:22:51My turn.
00:22:54Chatty bunch, aren't they?
00:22:56They are a bit noisy.
00:22:58Okay.
00:23:00All I have to do now is do this and see what happens.
00:23:03Oh, there we go! Yes!
00:23:06Come on.
00:23:09Is it attacking me?
00:23:11No, it didn't. Just come over here.
00:23:13Look, it's just a bird. It's okay.
00:23:15Look, I'll tell you what.
00:23:17You just stay with us and we will shield you. Okay?
00:23:34Here, try this.
00:23:36It's only half full now, but it should still be enough to entice a bird or two.
00:23:42You're welcome.
00:23:45Maybe they're not hungry?
00:23:47Yeah, just give it a minute. I bet they'll come eventually.
00:23:53Oh, there you go!
00:23:55Here, hang on.
00:24:00Take a look.
00:24:01Oh, that is so cool. Thank you.
00:24:04You're welcome.
00:24:06Here, your turn.
00:24:10Do you know the names of any of these?
00:24:12No, I'm not a bird expert.
00:24:14But they are cute.
00:24:16Which one's your favorite?
00:24:18Well, easy.
00:24:20There.
00:24:22Oh, yeah, I can see why.
00:24:24That blue color is beautiful.
00:24:27No idea.
00:24:28No idea.
00:24:30Fiona wondered if you could show her how to feed the birds with a little more, uh, courage?
00:24:35Oh, um...
00:24:37Sure.
00:24:46Any good games done?
00:24:48Football.
00:24:50Excellent.
00:24:52You need to watch yourself.
00:24:55Why?
00:24:56I'm here to be a part of the family, but don't get too comfortable.
00:24:59Like, with Noah, for example.
00:25:02If you're concerned about Noah, it should be because of Fiona's behavior.
00:25:05Don't put her down.
00:25:07I'm not. It was an observation.
00:25:09You're here to be smiling and silent.
00:25:13You insisted I come.
00:25:15Just think about what's at stake.
00:25:18I thought I already had everything when I married your father.
00:25:22But our time was cut short.
00:25:24I want to be happy again.
00:25:27And Bruce makes me happy.
00:25:30All I ask is that you don't make this family look bad.
00:25:34And for that, you get your tuition paid for, and a week of family fun.
00:25:38I mean, really.
00:25:40You should be thanking me.
00:25:45Thanks.
00:25:51Oh, Ashlyn. There you are.
00:25:54I was hoping to have a word with you.
00:25:57Oh, I'm sorry. I just helped myself. Is that okay?
00:26:00Oh, of course it is. That's not what I wanted to talk about.
00:26:03Have a seat.
00:26:07I just wanted to make sure you were okay with all this.
00:26:10With?
00:26:12Me marrying Miriam.
00:26:14Oh.
00:26:16I just worried, you know? I didn't want this to be a hard occasion for you.
00:26:21It...
00:26:22It's not.
00:26:24Miriam shared with me how much she struggled raising you, and Fiona and Jerry too, and...
00:26:30how she's afraid she didn't give you, in particular, everything you deserved.
00:26:35She said that?
00:26:37Yeah. Look, I can only imagine how hard it was on you.
00:26:41Losing one parent, and then losing your father, and then here comes the replacement, and...
00:26:45even if it is years later.
00:26:47Please, whatever you're feeling, it's okay.
00:26:50It's okay.
00:26:52And if you want to talk, I'm here.
00:26:55Thanks.
00:26:57That's...
00:26:59unexpected, but very thoughtful of you.
00:27:03As long as you are both happy, I'm happy.
00:27:07Good.
00:27:14Hurry, everyone! The bakery's expecting us!
00:27:21Where are the kids? That sounded strange.
00:27:25They're putting on their shoes.
00:27:27Thanks, Fiona. Excited?
00:27:29Do you blame me? You only get married once.
00:27:32Twice. A handful of times.
00:27:35You ready?
00:27:37Yeah. Where's Ashlyn?
00:27:39Studying. Let's not disturb her. She's so stressed.
00:27:42Then she needs a break. I'm going to go ask, just in case.
00:27:44Okay.
00:27:50Ah, there you are.
00:27:52Whoa, this room is cozy.
00:27:55Is it one of the housekeeper rooms?
00:27:57I don't know.
00:28:00You know there's another room in the house that's available, right?
00:28:03There is?
00:28:05Yeah, by Fiona's room.
00:28:07Oh. Well, I am all unpacked and settled in here. It's fine.
00:28:10All right. Well, we're leaving for the cake place.
00:28:15The bakery?
00:28:17Yes, that. The wedding bakery, or whatever they call it.
00:28:21Come on, everyone's in the car. Ready to go.
00:28:24Oh, okay.
00:28:26Oh, they give samples, too.
00:28:29Oh, this looks delicious.
00:28:33Mmm, good, good. Give me another one.
00:28:37Here, sweetheart.
00:28:40Mmm, good flavor. A little too sweet, though.
00:28:44I think we need something original. Something spectacular.
00:28:49I hear orange chocolate is in.
00:28:51Ew. You might as well make a sweet and sour stir fry cake.
00:28:56What about something classic like lemon? Light, flavorful.
00:29:00That's a lovely suggestion.
00:29:02She hates it.
00:29:04If it were my wedding, I think fruit would be a great idea.
00:29:09I love lemon, Noah.
00:29:13That's good. What about pistachio?
00:29:16Not by itself, though. They'd need something to spruce it up.
00:29:20May I suggest cherry hazelnut?
00:29:24Mmm.
00:29:30Oh, I don't think we have to.
00:29:32Wish this had more frosting.
00:29:34Really?
00:29:35Yeah, I prefer a one-to-one ratio of cake to frosting.
00:29:39That sounds...
00:29:40Delicious?
00:29:41Horrifying. You can't taste the cake with all that sugar.
00:29:44Well, that's why you also have fillings.
00:29:46That part sounds good.
00:29:48What flavors do you like? Chocolate or vanilla?
00:29:50That basic.
00:29:52Um, vanilla, then. Because you can pair it with a lot of other flavors.
00:29:56Yeah? Like what?
00:29:58Um, passion fruit?
00:30:00Oh, fancy.
00:30:02I first discovered it when I moved out on my own.
00:30:05In that case, you should try the passion fruit cream cake.
00:30:09Okay, uh, thanks.
00:30:12That sounds delicious.
00:30:16Mmm. Wow. Okay.
00:30:19Yeah, I'm usually more of a chocolate guy.
00:30:22This is amazing. Here.
00:30:24Oh, I, um...
00:30:26Oh, wow. Sorry.
00:30:30Here.
00:30:32Try it.
00:30:33Okay.
00:30:40Yeah. Yeah, that's...
00:30:42That's really good.
00:30:44Good.
00:30:46Could I get this in a to-go box?
00:30:52Oh, this won't do.
00:30:56Ashlyn, clean out the pool, will you? I need to work off all that cake.
00:31:01Isn't there a...
00:31:03One of those long net things. Find it, will you?
00:31:07Hey, guys.
00:31:09Tomorrow, I was thinking we go deep-sea fishing.
00:31:12It's supposed to be great here, and it seems we have some fishermen. Women.
00:31:16That sounds awesome. Maybe we'll catch something decent and make that our dinner.
00:31:19Bruce, you know I'm not one for fishing.
00:31:21I know. I keep hoping.
00:31:23What about you, Jerry?
00:31:25Jerry?
00:31:27What?
00:31:28Will you join us? Tomorrow. Fishing.
00:31:30Oh, I, uh...
00:31:31Sure.
00:31:33Great.
00:31:35Will Fiona want to join us?
00:31:37Fiona takes after me. She won't stomach fishing.
00:31:39Ashlyn, you're in, right?
00:31:41Sure. I'd love to go.
00:31:43So, four of us.
00:31:45Great. I'll call the charter, let them know.
00:31:50Well, come on. The pool won't clean itself.
00:31:54Okay.
00:31:58Why are you all going fishing tomorrow?
00:32:01Is this his idea?
00:32:03I want to go.
00:32:05No, you don't.
00:32:07Well, I don't want to be left behind. I'm the wedding planner anyway. Bruce should have asked me.
00:32:10Just because you're the wedding planner doesn't mean you have a say in everything we do before the actual wedding.
00:32:15Why did it have to be fishing?
00:32:17Some tradition of his.
00:32:19Gross.
00:32:21Then stay.
00:32:23Why didn't you convince them to do something else? Water skiing, snorkeling...
00:32:28Would you stop your yammering?
00:32:29I'm busy.
00:32:31What's with you?
00:32:33It hasn't been a good day for me.
00:32:35Like it matters?
00:32:37What would you know? I'm trying to... accomplish something here.
00:32:42Whatever. Sports are dumb anyway.
00:32:45Fishing's a sport?
00:32:47Hardly.
00:32:49Go bug Mom. I'm sure she'll take you shopping or something.
00:32:52Oh.
00:32:59Typical.
00:33:01No signal?
00:33:03So much from my international plan.
00:33:05Probably too far out from any cell tower.
00:33:08Lame.
00:33:13How much did you lose?
00:33:15How do you know I lost?
00:33:17Just a guess.
00:33:19Doesn't matter. I'll want it back in some other games tonight.
00:33:30So...
00:33:32What do you think of all this bonding?
00:33:35It's been good.
00:33:37Alright, spit it out.
00:33:39I know you had your reservations about this trip.
00:33:42It's the risk of awkward conversations that gets me.
00:33:46All that, paired with the knowledge we're going to be bound with this doomed family.
00:33:50I thought you liked Miriam.
00:33:52I do. She seems nice.
00:33:54But my only interactions with her have been at dinner or a holiday here or there.
00:33:57Are you alright with her?
00:33:59Yeah.
00:34:01As long as I don't have to call her Mom.
00:34:04And the others?
00:34:06That's where the awkward comes from.
00:34:09My future siblings.
00:34:11Or, um, step-siblings.
00:34:13Everyone takes some getting used to.
00:34:16At least we're not growing up together and sharing the same house once you get married.
00:34:21I don't think I can handle Fiona all the time.
00:34:24She is... a character.
00:34:27Jerry seems a little...
00:34:30Consumed.
00:34:32He's hard to figure out.
00:34:34Ashlyn's nice.
00:34:36Sharp.
00:34:38Easy to see they're not blood-related, huh?
00:34:41She has a lot more sense than the other two.
00:34:45I'm glad you're giving them a chance, at least.
00:34:52Nice cast, Ashlyn.
00:34:54Thanks.
00:34:55You mentioned you used to go fishing with your Dad?
00:34:58Yeah. He used to take us to a lake not too far from our house.
00:35:02A little different from here, but always fun.
00:35:06Just the two of us in a cooler filled with soda and peanut butter sandwiches.
00:35:10What did you catch?
00:35:12Carp, a trout here and there.
00:35:15And plenty of trees.
00:35:17Which do you like better? Lake or open ocean?
00:35:21I'll let you know when I catch something.
00:35:24I like your confidence.
00:35:26Jerry, you fish much?
00:35:29A few times. Fishing competitions.
00:35:32Deep sea?
00:35:34Not like...
00:35:37Not like this.
00:35:43A little tight still here.
00:35:46But divine.
00:35:48I swear the seamstress took this in instead of letting it out.
00:35:51This lighting makes me look so pale.
00:35:54Oh shush, you're fine.
00:35:56You look pretty, Mom.
00:36:00Just a few more days. I can barely wait.
00:36:03Our new life.
00:36:05Hey, Mom.
00:36:07Bruce and Noah are close, aren't they?
00:36:09Yes, I think so.
00:36:11So we'll be seeing him a lot?
00:36:13Noah? Yes, probably.
00:36:15Good.
00:36:17Do you have a crush already?
00:36:18He's gorgeous. You can't blame me for noticing.
00:36:22I suppose not.
00:36:24I'm not sure Noah will see you as more than a sibling for a while.
00:36:28Why not?
00:36:30Well, this is all new for him. As it is for you.
00:36:33With the wedding, no one is thinking of anything else.
00:36:36Give it time.
00:36:38I'm trying, but Ashlyn keeps getting in the way.
00:36:41Does she?
00:36:43They're out fishing together now as it is.
00:36:45With Bruce and Jerry, it's hardly a date.
00:36:46I don't know what anyone sees in her anyway.
00:36:49One thing about Ashlyn that will always be true,
00:36:53is she's easy to overlook.
00:36:55Besides, she has her classes and her teaching dreams.
00:36:58Keep her focused on that, and she won't give Noah any encouragement.
00:37:08Jerry, you've got something.
00:37:10Oh, let's see.
00:37:12Jerry, the pole.
00:37:14You okay?
00:37:16I don't feel so good.
00:37:18Did you take some ocean sickness pills?
00:37:21No.
00:37:24Here, maybe this will help.
00:37:27If I throw up, I may even get you.
00:37:30Charming.
00:37:32Here, look. Take some sips.
00:37:35Not too much alcohol.
00:37:37All right, let's bring in this fish.
00:37:40Oh, yeah.
00:37:41Noah, you want to do the honors?
00:37:43What about Ashlyn?
00:37:45What?
00:37:47Here, reel in the fish, will you?
00:37:49Okay, sure.
00:37:51Oh, wow. Oh, it's strong.
00:37:53All right, you can do this.
00:37:55If it's fighting you good, just reel it in in spurts.
00:37:57I don't want to lose it.
00:37:59Even if you do, there's plenty of fish in this.
00:38:01I've never heard that said so literally.
00:38:03I wonder how big it is.
00:38:05Can't see it yet.
00:38:07Every fish I've ever caught has felt like a 200-pound marlin.
00:38:09The surface is an eight-pound bass.
00:38:11Oh!
00:38:13You all right?
00:38:15All right, you got it.
00:38:17I wonder what kind of fish it is.
00:38:19I once caught a snakefish.
00:38:21What?
00:38:23Predator fish. Breathe air. Big, creepy teeth.
00:38:25What did you do with it?
00:38:27I went to go throw it back in because there was no way I was eating it.
00:38:29And it bit me.
00:38:31Was it serious?
00:38:33No, but it freaked me out.
00:38:35Oh!
00:38:37Oh, that's all right. You got it.
00:38:39Keep going. Just keep it steady.
00:38:41All right, I got it.
00:38:43All right, try to bring it in closer so I can get a better look.
00:38:45Oh, wow!
00:38:47What?
00:38:49Is it a snakefish?
00:38:51No, but it's big.
00:38:53That must be why my arms are tiring out.
00:38:55All right, you got this.
00:38:57Look a little closer.
00:38:59There it is.
00:39:01Oh, nice catch, Ashlyn.
00:39:03Never caught a fish that big before.
00:39:05Well done.
00:39:07Thanks.
00:39:09It was my pole.
00:39:12Hello?
00:39:14Anyone hungry?
00:39:16No.
00:39:18You're back!
00:39:20Yeah, with quite the catch. Ashlyn reeled it in.
00:39:22Oh, that's wonderful.
00:39:24I'll get this all cleaned up.
00:39:26I'll get the grill ready.
00:39:28Great. Do we have any Pepto or something?
00:39:30Oh, you certainly smell like your prey.
00:39:32It was worth it though, right Jerry?
00:39:34Yeah.
00:39:36The water was pretty rough today.
00:39:38I'm glad you made it back safe then.
00:39:39Oh, Ashlyn.
00:39:41Why don't you go grab some medicine for Jerry?
00:39:44Oh, and I left my shoes for the wedding at the shop in town.
00:39:47Go get those too.
00:39:49Sure, just let me get cleaned up first.
00:39:51No, the shop will close soon. I need you to go now.
00:39:53Can't your Fiona do it?
00:39:55You've had your day of fun while Fiona and I have been preparing everything for the wedding.
00:39:59The least you can do is run a couple simple errands.
00:40:10Dinner's ready!
00:40:15Smells wonderful.
00:40:17Yeah, I'm starving.
00:40:20Where's Ashlyn?
00:40:22And, uh, Jerry?
00:40:24Jerry, I'm afraid, is concerned dinner might not agree with him yet.
00:40:27He's resting in his bedroom.
00:40:29And Ashlyn is running an errand, getting him some medicine.
00:40:32You know.
00:40:34Oh, that's nice of her.
00:40:36Let's wait then until she gets back.
00:40:37I'll call and see how close she is, okay?
00:40:40Sure.
00:40:50Ashlyn? Everything okay there?
00:40:53Oh, good. Well, dinner is ready, but we didn't want to eat without you.
00:40:57Are you sure?
00:40:59Alright, we'll save you a plate.
00:41:03We can go ahead.
00:41:04Okay, let's eat.
00:41:22Dinner was delicious, Fiona.
00:41:26Thanks.
00:41:34Here.
00:41:50No.
00:41:56And I'm telling you, it's a mistake.
00:41:59I can fund my accounts if you just let me clear this up.
00:42:02No, don't shut it down. This is my business, okay?
00:42:06That's ridiculous.
00:42:08I'm telling you, this will all be sorted out and...
00:42:11Yeah.
00:42:13Yeah, I can do that. Okay?
00:42:15Just don't close it down.
00:42:17Thanks.
00:42:20Hey, Jerry.
00:42:22Hey, man. What's up?
00:42:24Everything okay?
00:42:26Yeah. Just work, you know?
00:42:28No biggie.
00:42:30It's fine.
00:42:32Um, well, you wanna play a game of pool?
00:42:36Maybe later.
00:42:40Okay.
00:42:49I want tropical colors, but tasteful.
00:42:52Tasteful.
00:42:54How big is my bouquet gonna be?
00:42:56Smaller than mine.
00:42:57Maybe using some of these as key parts of the bouquet.
00:43:01Ashlyn, write these down already.
00:43:03Okay.
00:43:05How about this one?
00:43:07No.
00:43:09Okay, then for my bouquet.
00:43:11No, we should be matching.
00:43:13Hello. You need some flowers.
00:43:15Bouquets.
00:43:16For a wedding.
00:43:17Ah, congratulations.
00:43:19How many?
00:43:20Two bouquets. One for me, the bride, and one for the bridesmaid.
00:43:23Okay, great. Let me go see if there are some options.
00:43:26Will I need one?
00:43:28No. You're not a bridesmaid.
00:43:30Are you?
00:43:32I guess not.
00:43:34Oh, we should get one of those flower things for Jerry.
00:43:37Oh, and Bruce and Noah. I'm glad you reminded me.
00:43:40Is Jerry a groomsman?
00:43:42I'm having him walk me down the aisle. Noah will be Bruce's groomsman.
00:43:46So what am I gonna be doing?
00:43:49Oh, you'll be sitting in the back for all the latecomers, and you'll usher them to the best seat.
00:43:55Someone has to do it. It makes sense to be you.
00:43:58Now I like these.
00:44:01Ashlyn, write these down already.
00:44:25Okay.
00:44:56Are you okay?
00:44:58I'm fine.
00:45:00A lot of fines going around today. You, Jerry.
00:45:04Jerry?
00:45:06He seemed a little upset earlier, too.
00:45:25Okay.
00:45:55Mm-hmm.
00:45:56Hi.
00:46:24I don't know what's bothering Jerry.
00:46:26Oh.
00:46:28What's bothering you, then?
00:46:31It's nothing I can't handle.
00:46:34Is it like, um, guy troubles, or...
00:46:39Yeah, sorry. I felt strange as I was saying it.
00:46:44Um, no. No, it's not guy troubles. I don't have anyone back home.
00:46:50Oh.
00:46:52Do you?
00:46:54Not anymore.
00:46:56But there was someone?
00:46:58Yeah.
00:47:00She had an overseas opportunity. Kind of a dream job scenario.
00:47:05And she left.
00:47:08I'm sorry.
00:47:10Did you miss her?
00:47:12I did. For a long time.
00:47:15She didn't really talk to me about it.
00:47:18Just said goodbye, and that was it.
00:47:22Oh.
00:47:23Yeah.
00:47:25It's nice to feel loved.
00:47:28There.
00:47:29Presentable?
00:47:30Always.
00:47:32Oh, there you are. I was wanting to take the family for a nice dinner tonight.
00:47:36How soon before you can be ready?
00:47:38About ten minutes?
00:47:39Maybe a little longer for Ashlyn.
00:47:42I'll hurry.
00:47:43Wear something nice.
00:47:45I will.
00:47:54Come on.
00:48:11Where'd you go?
00:48:21What?
00:48:25Hmm.
00:48:33Oh, new shirt? It's nice. Oh, thanks.
00:48:36Let's go.
00:48:37In a minute. Ashlyn's still changing.
00:48:39I can't go tonight.
00:48:40Why ever not?
00:48:42Something happened with my computer. My paper's gone and it's due tomorrow.
00:48:46Ashlyn, I'm so sorry.
00:48:48Oh yes, that is unfortunate.
00:48:50You still have to eat.
00:48:51He's right. Come along and we'll get you back as quick as we can.
00:48:54But we're celebrating. I don't want us to rush.
00:48:56It's not a problem.
00:48:58No. No, you shouldn't change anything for me.
00:49:01I'll be fine.
00:49:02Are you sure that it's gone?
00:49:04Yeah, I must have not saved it right or something.
00:49:08You should be more careful.
00:49:10I can stay and help you.
00:49:11No. No, you should go.
00:49:13You'll just be watching me type.
00:49:15But you missed dinner with us last night.
00:49:17Is there anything we can do to help?
00:49:19Not that I can think of, but thank you.
00:49:23It'll be alright.
00:49:25Yeah. Thanks.
00:49:28Come on, Noah. Let's go.
00:49:50My dear friend had to cancel coming to the wedding.
00:49:54Her husband tore his ACL or something playing tennis.
00:49:58Is that Donna?
00:49:59No, Hannah.
00:50:00You know what this means, though.
00:50:02We have to revisit the seating chart.
00:50:04Yes. I can help.
00:50:06Tomorrow.
00:50:07Let's just enjoy tonight.
00:50:10I can't.
00:50:12I can't.
00:50:14I can't.
00:50:16I can't.
00:50:17Let's just enjoy tonight.
00:50:20Speaking of...
00:50:22Oh, Bruce. You didn't.
00:50:24I got you a little something special.
00:50:26You already did.
00:50:28More of a keepsake for all the memories we'll have after we're married.
00:50:32But this...
00:50:34is to help us always remember our time here together on the island.
00:50:41It's beautiful.
00:50:44I'm glad you like it.
00:50:48Oh, come on now. Let's order before I start tearing up.
00:50:53So, what are you getting?
00:50:56I'm not sure. You?
00:50:58I'm thinking a salad.
00:51:01Want to share a dessert with me?
00:51:03Haven't thought that far yet.
00:51:07What about Ashlyn?
00:51:08What about her?
00:51:10What would she like?
00:51:12I don't know. A cup of soup or something?
00:51:18Have we all had enough time to decide what to order?
00:51:20Yes, I think so. Please, start here with Miriam.
00:51:24I'm still debating.
00:51:25In that case, please start with Fiona and we'll have made up our minds by the time you get her on the table.
00:51:30I'll have the steak salad here and a side of rice.
00:51:34And you?
00:51:35I'll have the chicken with the pasta.
00:51:38Oh, and one more thing.
00:51:40Can I order another meal? Same thing, but if you'll box it up to go, please?
00:51:44Certainly.
00:51:45Thanks.
00:51:48Okay.
00:51:59Okay.
00:52:02Keep going.
00:52:09How's the paper coming?
00:52:10Oh, hi.
00:52:11Hi.
00:52:14It's actually easier rewriting it than it was the first time.
00:52:18Although...
00:52:19You wish you didn't have to write it twice, no matter what?
00:52:21Exactly.
00:52:24Hungry?
00:52:26Yes, actually.
00:52:28It's nice outside right now. Want to eat out there, away from your computer?
00:52:35Sure.
00:52:43This is exactly what I needed.
00:52:46You're welcome.
00:52:48So what's this paper of yours about?
00:52:51Oh, um, it's about child development theory intersecting with age-appropriate learning.
00:52:57There are a bunch of different studies I've pulled from.
00:53:00It's probably the most technical thing I've had to write, but I hope it works.
00:53:05Sounds very scientific.
00:53:07Yeah, I'll be glad when I finish it.
00:53:11Again.
00:53:14Did you always want to be a teacher?
00:53:17No, actually. I didn't know what I wanted to do for a while.
00:53:22But I figured it out a few years after high school.
00:53:25What changed?
00:53:27I ran into one of my old teachers.
00:53:30She was great.
00:53:32She helped me through some hard times.
00:53:35I just kept thinking that I want to do that.
00:53:37Be that person for a kid who needs someone who understands.
00:53:43That's very admirable.
00:53:45Did I tell you my mother was a teacher?
00:53:47No, I didn't know that.
00:53:50Music, so not quite what you're going to do.
00:53:53Was it piano?
00:53:55Yeah, you remembered.
00:53:57That and violin.
00:54:00Do you play?
00:54:02A little bit of piano.
00:54:04I was a pretty stubborn kid about practicing, so my mom told me I had to be taught by someone else for it to work.
00:54:11I think I missed out on how great of a teacher she was.
00:54:14Was her passing unexpected?
00:54:18Yeah.
00:54:20I think it always is to an extent.
00:54:24She'd been sick for a while, but we thought she was getting better.
00:54:29Then she took a turn for the worse with all these complications and...
00:54:35And it was over.
00:54:38That sounds really hard.
00:54:40Having that hope and then losing her.
00:54:44It was.
00:54:47Did your dad ever think about getting married again sooner?
00:54:52Maybe.
00:54:54There were some pretty awkward times when he started dating again.
00:54:58Some of the stories he would tell me.
00:55:02My guess is that it wasn't the right time.
00:55:05He was expanding his business.
00:55:08Maybe it was a matter of finding the right person.
00:55:11I always wonder about that.
00:55:14The right one?
00:55:16Yeah.
00:55:18Maybe it seems strange when we've both lost parents, remarrying and all.
00:55:23I don't have too much life experience in love.
00:55:28And marriage.
00:55:30But I hope that even the second time around, we still aim to find that right person.
00:55:42Come in.
00:55:45What is it?
00:55:47I need to talk to you.
00:55:49What's wrong?
00:55:51I had some bad tips on some games this week.
00:55:55How much is it this time?
00:55:5730k.
00:55:59Oh my.
00:56:01Mom.
00:56:02I've tried to be supportive.
00:56:04But at some point, you have to stop lying to yourself.
00:56:08What you're doing isn't the way to make it in your life.
00:56:11I can earn it back, but my trading accounts were suspended.
00:56:14Don't you mean gambling accounts?
00:56:17What do you want me to do about it?
00:56:19Talk to Bruce.
00:56:21Oh Jerry, I can't do that.
00:56:23I won't.
00:56:26Maybe I can lend you something.
00:56:31The money was yours.
00:56:36What?
00:56:38The 30k.
00:56:40You had me co-sign on an account in case anything ever happened to you.
00:56:44And I...
00:56:46And you used it as your own personal piggy bank?
00:56:49I'm sorry.
00:56:51Sorry doesn't pay me back.
00:56:53I know. But if we ask Bruce...
00:56:54When?
00:56:56Before the wedding when he learns about your wasteful habit?
00:56:59Or after when he'll feel like I lied to him?
00:57:04The second one?
00:57:06I really am sorry.
00:57:08I didn't know what else to do.
00:57:11You stay quiet.
00:57:13We just have to get through this week.
00:57:16And the wedding.
00:57:21I'll tell him.
00:57:24Okay.
00:57:35My paper.
00:57:40Okay.
00:57:42Just the last bit.
00:57:44Okay.
00:57:52Yeah.
00:57:54That works.
00:57:57Attach file.
00:57:59And...
00:58:01Send.
00:58:06My cousin decided to come last minute, so we could swap him in as plus one with your friend.
00:58:10Good.
00:58:12Now, do you think we should increase the numbers for the catering?
00:58:15They always give such stingy servings, and I don't want anyone to go hungry.
00:58:18I think it'll be fine as is.
00:58:20Maybe I should ask Fiona to call about it, just in case.
00:58:23Mom, this is so much better, isn't it?
00:58:26Yes, lovely.
00:58:28Oh, good morning, sleepyhead.
00:58:30Ashlyn, did you finish your paper?
00:58:32Yes, all done.
00:58:34That's great news.
00:58:36Uh, Miriam?
00:58:38Can I talk to you for a moment?
00:58:40Of course.
00:58:42Girl talk, I guess.
00:58:47Well?
00:58:49I was wondering what you wanted me to wear for the wedding.
00:58:52It doesn't matter. Any one of your dresses will do.
00:58:55I didn't bring any dresses.
00:58:57Well, that was silly of you.
00:59:00I figured you'd have one for me, at least to match your wedding colors.
00:59:04Well, you figured wrong.
00:59:06Why would I squander my money like that?
00:59:08It's just one day.
00:59:10And remember, you'll be helping seat the guests.
00:59:12It doesn't matter what you wear.
00:59:14Hang on.
00:59:16Don't you think Bruce will find it odd that you're basically excluding me from the wedding party?
00:59:20I mean, think about the photos.
00:59:23Don't try to manipulate me.
00:59:25You always felt you were due something as a child.
00:59:28Why can't I have this, or that?
00:59:30It's not about the dress, and you know it.
00:59:33If you don't want me here, I'm more than happy to leave right now.
00:59:36I have nothing to lose.
00:59:38And I don't appreciate being threatened.
00:59:40It's not a threat.
00:59:42It's the truth, which you should be more afraid of than I am.
00:59:45Try this on for truth, then.
00:59:47You leave and stop behaving?
00:59:49You don't get a dime from me for your tuition.
00:59:51And of course, with you leaving, I'll have to explain why.
00:59:54That'll only hurt you more.
00:59:56I've already shared with Bruce how troubled you were growing up.
00:59:59Who do you think he's going to believe when I tell him you got upset over nothing and left us all?
01:00:03And what would dear Noah think if he learned you came here only for the promise of money?
01:00:15Ashley!
01:00:18Mind if I tag along?
01:00:20My dad said you were going into town.
01:00:22My ear buds died and I needed a new pair for the flight home.
01:00:25Um, I have some shopping to do. I might be a while.
01:00:29That's okay. I've got time.
01:00:31Okay.
01:00:33Thanks.
01:00:43Here we are.
01:00:45Great. Do you want to come with me?
01:00:47That should be pretty quick in the electronics shop.
01:00:49Oh, I don't want to slow you down. I'll just meet you somewhere.
01:00:52Okay. Where will you be? I'll come find you.
01:00:54Um, just one of these clothing shops.
01:00:56Okay. See you in a few minutes.
01:01:03Okay.
01:01:34Hey, I'm back.
01:01:36Great. I'm almost done.
01:01:38What are you looking for?
01:01:40Oh, nothing. I mean, something, obviously.
01:01:43I'll know it when I see it.
01:01:45Okay.
01:01:51There. That's all I need.
01:01:53Don't you want to try it on?
01:01:55I'm sure it'll fit fine.
01:01:57What's the deal?
01:01:58Don't you want to try it on?
01:02:00I'm sure it'll fit fine.
01:02:02What's the occasion, anyway?
01:02:04Oh, um, it's...
01:02:07What? Well, it's not for the wedding, right?
01:02:12Is it?
01:02:14Sort of.
01:02:16What about the bridesmaid's dresses and the fittings and all that?
01:02:19I saw Fiona parading around in hers the other day.
01:02:22They... they couldn't make a dress in time.
01:02:25My measurements. I mean, they didn't have them.
01:02:28Well, even Jerry and I have matching vests and ties for the wedding.
01:02:31I...
01:02:34I like this better.
01:02:36Okay, well, if you're going to get a dress,
01:02:39can I at least suggest one you like a little more?
01:02:44Let's see here.
01:02:46Oh.
01:02:48How about this? Hmm? What do you think?
01:02:50Yeah.
01:02:52Okay. And...
01:02:54How about this one? Hmm?
01:02:57Yeah. Yeah, I like them.
01:03:00You want to try them on?
01:03:02Okay. Um...
01:03:04I'll be right back.
01:03:24Is this one fancy enough?
01:03:27You're...
01:03:29It's beautiful.
01:03:31On you.
01:03:33So you think it's okay?
01:03:35More than okay.
01:03:37I think it's perfect. Truly.
01:03:40Okay.
01:03:45Thank you for coming.
01:03:47And...
01:03:49for your opinion.
01:03:51Anytime.
01:03:53I've been looking everywhere for you, Noah.
01:03:56Uh, I better go hang this up so it doesn't get you wrinkled.
01:04:03So...
01:04:05Tide's coming in and the waves are perfect for body surfing.
01:04:09You in?
01:04:11Have you seen my dad?
01:04:13Uh, inside somewhere.
01:04:15Great, thanks.
01:04:24Can I get one of those?
01:04:26Sure.
01:04:30Need it with the seat, right?
01:04:32You should try the pool.
01:04:34Good idea.
01:04:36What a view.
01:04:39Yeah.
01:04:42Hey, Dad.
01:04:44There's something that's been bothering me.
01:04:46Okay. What?
01:04:48Have you noticed how Ashlyn is treated differently than Jerry and Fiona?
01:04:51Not really.
01:04:54But I think it'd be hard for me to not subconsciously favor you,
01:04:58even after I get married.
01:05:00No, it's more than just favoring.
01:05:02I mean, think about it.
01:05:04She's given the smallest room in the house,
01:05:06one that I think is for a caretaker,
01:05:08even when there's an empty, nicer room available.
01:05:10She's always the one to clean up
01:05:12while Jerry and Fiona and even Miriam do nothing.
01:05:15Noah, that's not fair. This is a vacation, after all.
01:05:18For everyone but Ashlyn.
01:05:19I mean, even the way they act around each other.
01:05:22Some of the things they say,
01:05:24there's this tension and almost fear.
01:05:27You sure?
01:05:29Do you know where we were this afternoon?
01:05:31No.
01:05:33A dress shop.
01:05:35Ashlyn was buying her own dress
01:05:37because Miriam didn't even get her something to match the wedding party.
01:05:39Noah, I'm sure there's an explanation.
01:05:41Maybe we're looking at this all wrong.
01:05:43I don't know how else to see it.
01:05:45Is there another reason you're so concerned?
01:05:48Look,
01:05:50I've noticed how you look at her.
01:05:52So?
01:05:54Is it possible that's affecting your judgment?
01:05:58No.
01:06:00No, that's not it.
01:06:02You sure?
01:06:04You do seem to seek her out.
01:06:06Yeah, but...
01:06:08I'd like to think that no matter what I felt for her,
01:06:11I'd say something about what I've seen.
01:06:13Noah,
01:06:15Noah.
01:06:38I saw you and Noah.
01:06:40Where'd you go?
01:06:42What do you want, Fiona?
01:06:44We don't want you scaring him off.
01:06:46I'm the last one who'd do that.
01:06:48If you ruin this with your pathetic feelings for Noah,
01:06:52Mom will be furious.
01:06:54Thanks for the warning.
01:06:56Isn't there another spot on this beach you can go to?
01:06:58Look,
01:07:00Mom needs this marriage to happen.
01:07:02With Jerry's debts and using all our money,
01:07:04it's the only way.
01:07:06What did you say?
01:07:08Bruce can make it all go away.
01:07:10He'd set us up for life.
01:07:11Maybe.
01:07:13And maybe that would extend to you too.
01:07:15So watch it.
01:07:28Hey.
01:07:30Hey.
01:07:32How was the beach?
01:07:34It was...
01:07:36sandy.
01:07:38That good, huh?
01:07:40Yeah.
01:07:42You okay?
01:07:44You want to get out of here?
01:07:46Do something that will cheer us up?
01:07:48Yes, please.
01:08:01Sorry, is it too windy for you?
01:08:04No, I love it!
01:08:06Yeah?
01:08:08Woo!
01:08:31How do you find these places?
01:08:33Have you been here before?
01:08:35I just did some research.
01:08:37I like the way that this place looked
01:08:39in the photos I saw online.
01:08:41With the cliffs.
01:08:43Maybe it's the architecture of it.
01:08:45Can you really call it that
01:08:47when it's, like, nature-made?
01:08:49Yeah, why not?
01:08:51A lot of architecture is inspired by nature.
01:08:53Do you design a lot of buildings?
01:08:55Ah, not so much.
01:08:57Mostly make sure things are following building codes
01:08:59and strong enough in the designs.
01:09:01So nothing falls apart?
01:09:03Yep.
01:09:05It's not glamorous,
01:09:07but do you ever want to design?
01:09:09Yeah.
01:09:11It's not my forte yet,
01:09:13but one day, who knows?
01:09:15Well,
01:09:17it's good to have dreams.
01:09:19I think it's cool that you do.
01:09:21Yeah?
01:09:23I'm not so sure about Fiona, though.
01:09:25Or Jerry.
01:09:27Jerry wants to be successful,
01:09:30which to him means being rich.
01:09:33And Fiona?
01:09:34I'm not quite sure she's settled
01:09:37on what she wants to do in life.
01:09:39So what was it like growing up with the Vanderbilts?
01:09:42Actually, Vanderbilt is my last name.
01:09:45Or my dad's.
01:09:47Miriam always liked it.
01:09:49She thought it made her seem
01:09:51wealthy and important.
01:09:53Wow.
01:09:55Did you get along with Jerry and Fiona?
01:10:01Sometimes.
01:10:02Sometimes?
01:10:04What about Miriam?
01:10:07There were some hard times.
01:10:09It was difficult, I guess.
01:10:13Did you ever wish things were different?
01:10:17Of course. I mean,
01:10:19who wouldn't?
01:10:21But I like to think that I'm stronger
01:10:25in the long run because of
01:10:27everything.
01:10:33You are.
01:10:38Okay.
01:10:40Your turn to drive.
01:10:42Really?
01:10:43Really?
01:11:03Oh, Jerry,
01:11:05we're making a nice dinner for everyone tonight.
01:11:07We?
01:11:09It's a way to celebrate before the wedding.
01:11:11Only two more days.
01:11:13You are. We need to go to the grocery store.
01:11:15Okay.
01:11:17Jerry, grab the car keys. We'll leave soon.
01:11:19Me too?
01:11:21What about Fiona?
01:11:23She wants to spend some time with Noah.
01:11:34This better not take too long.
01:11:36I got work to do.
01:11:38Let's stop pretending that's true.
01:11:41Ashlyn,
01:11:43I need you to cook the veggies
01:11:45and bake the rolls and dessert.
01:11:49Ashlyn?
01:11:52How were you ever planning to pay for my tuition
01:11:54when you have Jerry's gambling debt?
01:11:57You were going to pay for her tuition?
01:11:59You have a lot of nerve.
01:12:02You didn't answer my question.
01:12:04And I don't have to.
01:12:06Do you even love Bruce?
01:12:08Or is he just a bank account to you?
01:12:10Get out!
01:12:11How could you lie to me?
01:12:13I didn't.
01:12:15I was going to pay for your tuition.
01:12:17You were? And now?
01:12:19Things change.
01:12:21No. No.
01:12:23They're the same as always.
01:12:25Thanks.
01:12:40Can you show me how to hold this?
01:12:42I already did that.
01:12:44I mean, how to hit it.
01:12:46Did that too.
01:12:48Just try your best
01:12:50and take a shot.
01:12:55Whoops!
01:12:57Guess you'll have to teach me again.
01:13:00We're back!
01:13:02Need any help?
01:13:04No, no. You relax.
01:13:06We'll take care of it all.
01:13:08Is Ashlyn outside?
01:13:10No.
01:13:12Well, where is she?
01:13:14We had a little argument.
01:13:16She stayed in town to cool off.
01:13:18Is everything all right?
01:13:20It will be.
01:13:22What did you do?
01:13:24It's Ashlyn's fault.
01:13:26She just wants to use Bruce for his money.
01:13:29Mom found out and confronted her.
01:13:31That doesn't sound like her.
01:13:33All she cares about is finding someone to pay off her tuition.
01:13:37Miriam?
01:13:40I'm sorry, Bruce.
01:13:42I thought we could keep the sight of her away from you.
01:13:46Well, this is...
01:13:49certainly unexpected.
01:13:51Dad!
01:13:52Why don't we just try and set this aside for now?
01:13:56Fiona? Jerry?
01:13:58Come help in the kitchen.
01:14:04Not now.
01:14:19Ashlyn!
01:14:20Are you all right?
01:14:22I'm fine.
01:14:24Where have you been?
01:14:27It doesn't matter.
01:14:29Listen, while you were gone, Miriam said some things.
01:14:32What else is new?
01:14:34I don't believe her, but you should know what's going on.
01:14:36I think that'll only make me more upset.
01:14:38What happened?
01:14:41I need to go, but...
01:14:44thanks for caring.
01:14:50Bye.
01:15:18Where do you think you're going?
01:15:20The airport.
01:15:22Then home.
01:15:24No, you'll stay.
01:15:26Why?
01:15:28To sell the lie that we're some happy family?
01:15:31To help you pretend that you've treated me like anything close to your own child?
01:15:35You would have been better with a cardboard cutout.
01:15:37Maybe I should have ordered one.
01:15:39You love to act like you've had such a hard life.
01:15:43I don't think you realize how lucky you are.
01:15:46Lucky?
01:15:48I guess I have been in some ways.
01:15:51I left my home, my father's home, and I've made a life for myself.
01:15:55It's not perfect, but it's mine.
01:15:58And then you just had to have me come along.
01:16:01Did you only want me here so you could make me feel small again?
01:16:05Oh, spare me.
01:16:07I should have known better than to think you'd ever really help me.
01:16:10Pay my tuition?
01:16:12Why would you ever do that when you've never spent a dime of your own or my father's money on me before?
01:16:17Now if Jerry's gambling, you expect Bruce to bail both of you out?
01:16:22We had a deal.
01:16:24Which you broke. I owe you nothing.
01:16:28Your father chose me, Ashlyn.
01:16:31For better or for worse, that means something.
01:16:34No.
01:16:36It doesn't.
01:16:38Maybe if he was still here, things would have been different.
01:16:42But the moment he was gone, you showed your true colors.
01:16:47You only see your perspective.
01:16:52I've tried to see yours for years.
01:16:55And the only thing I can think of is that you just can't help putting me down so you can stand a little higher.
01:17:13We should talk.
01:17:15All this time, you've spoken of her as if she were a real daughter to you.
01:17:19What else was a lie?
01:17:21Nothing. You weren't there.
01:17:23I wish I had been.
01:17:25What's worse is you don't even see what you've done as being wrong.
01:17:27Listen, everything will be just fine.
01:17:30I know how your dad can apologize and Mom will totally forgive him.
01:17:34He's not the one that needs to apologize.
01:17:37He can figure out another way to pay for it.
01:17:39Miriam, I'm not worried about Jerry or the money.
01:17:41It's you and your manipulative schemes.
01:17:49Dad?
01:17:51Do you see my keys?
01:17:55Ashlyn went to the airport.
01:17:57She did?
01:17:59Let's go find her.
01:18:02What are the other options for changing the ticket?
01:18:06How much is that?
01:18:07How much is that?
01:18:10Um...
01:18:12What about the later flight?
01:18:14Ashlyn!
01:18:16I'm so sorry. Can I call you back? Thanks.
01:18:20Noah?
01:18:22Don't go.
01:18:24I don't think I can stay.
01:18:26Please. Let's go somewhere and talk.
01:18:31I should have told you about Miriam.
01:18:33It's your past. Maybe it's none of my business.
01:18:37I can at least understand why it would have been hard for you to share anything.
01:18:41Still,
01:18:43I shouldn't have come just for her promise of help with my tuition.
01:18:47Glad you did.
01:18:49I wouldn't have met you if you hadn't.
01:18:51That should have been my first clue.
01:18:53Never meeting you.
01:18:55Miriam always had an excuse.
01:18:58I'm sorry I didn't see.
01:19:00Even Noah noticed.
01:19:01I just didn't want to think.
01:19:04She could have been such a different person than I thought.
01:19:07What will happen now?
01:19:09I don't know.
01:19:12It's made me doubt if Miriam ever really loved me.
01:19:15But the house is paid for for a few more days.
01:19:19Noah and I plan to stay and make the most of this.
01:19:22I hope you'll stay too.
01:19:26Should we head back to the villa?
01:19:28Let's.
01:19:32Bruce,
01:19:34I saw the way Miriam talked to you.
01:19:37And how she looked at you.
01:19:40I've never seen her so...
01:19:45I think she does love you.
01:19:48Maybe she does.
01:19:50But without trust,
01:19:52I don't think love is enough.
01:19:59Bruce.
01:20:07I'm going to head to bed.
01:20:09Good night.
01:20:20Good night, Miriam.
01:20:22Good night.
01:20:28Good night.
01:20:36I apologize for being so last minute, but we're going to have to cancel.
01:20:41Thanks, Pastor, for understanding.
01:20:43At least this way you don't have to worry about any doves in the church.
01:20:47Okay. Bye-bye.
01:20:49I appreciate it. Thanks.
01:20:54You two look busy.
01:20:55Yeah, we've been calling people all morning to let them know the wedding's off.
01:20:59The guests, the caterer, the church, the decorator.
01:21:03Anything I can do to help?
01:21:05We've got it covered.
01:21:07So,
01:21:09where's Miriam?
01:21:11Packing.
01:21:20What do you want?
01:21:23You're leaving?
01:21:25Happy?
01:21:27None of this makes me happy.
01:21:29Too late for take-backs.
01:21:31I guess so.
01:21:33I need to finish packing.
01:21:35In silence, if you don't mind.
01:21:38Our flight leaves soon.
01:21:41Fine.
01:21:45There's a lot
01:21:47that neither one of us can take back or change.
01:21:50And even if we could,
01:21:52I don't know if you want to.
01:21:53But if you did,
01:21:55I'd be okay with that.
01:21:57I'd want to
01:22:00let it all go.
01:22:19The car's here.
01:22:21Take it.
01:22:23Take care, Noah.
01:22:26You can call, you know,
01:22:28any time.
01:22:30Oh, um,
01:22:32okay.
01:22:37Bye, Fiona.
01:22:39Jerry.
01:22:41Let's go.
01:22:45Well, uh,
01:22:48we don't want to be late.
01:22:50Miriam.
01:22:53Bye.
01:23:10Bye, Bruce.
01:23:24Hey.
01:23:27How are you feeling?
01:23:29I don't know.
01:23:31I'm trying to figure that out.
01:23:34I don't want them to hate me, but
01:23:37I can't control that either.
01:23:39You're too sweet to hate.
01:23:43You know, um,
01:23:45ever since the first day we met,
01:23:48I couldn't help but want to be around you.
01:23:51Me?
01:23:53Look at all that you've done.
01:23:55All that you're working towards.
01:23:58You inspire me.
01:24:00And, uh,
01:24:02you deserve to succeed and be happy.
01:24:05Thanks.
01:24:08That's really nice of you, but...
01:24:11What?
01:24:13I don't want anyone's pity.
01:24:16Ashlyn.
01:24:19I don't feel anything like pity for you.
01:24:23I care about you.
01:24:25I admire you.
01:24:30And I'm falling in love with you.
01:24:33You are?
01:24:35It might be crazy not to.
01:24:37I mean, is that okay?
01:24:40Yes.
01:24:42Yes, that's more than okay.
01:24:46I've never felt like I could be honest
01:24:49about who I am or my life.
01:24:50To be me
01:24:52without waiting for someone to put me down.
01:24:56Until now.
01:24:59You're amazing.
01:25:01You know that?
01:25:03Sorry.
01:25:21Well,
01:25:23one benefit of the baker's no return policy is this.
01:25:26Ta-da!
01:25:28Nice.
01:25:30Noah, help me hand this out.
01:25:32There you go.
01:25:34Yes, and in this heat, we better eat it quickly.
01:25:38So should we just go for it then?
01:25:40Yeah, it's my cake, isn't it?
01:25:42Yes, it is.
01:25:44So what are we celebrating here?
01:25:46To the future.
01:25:48With all sorts of possibilities.
01:25:50To the future.
01:25:56That's good.
01:26:02Great, I'm going from groomed to third wheel.
