Short filmTranscript
00:00:00You've been bad, and I've been wrong, but I've been pretentious, you've been gone.
00:00:21Hey Dad.
00:00:22Voila.
00:00:23What's this?
00:00:24Eve's greenhouse experiment is bearing avocados, so I thought we could try to expand the breakfast
00:00:29items again.
00:00:30With avocado toast.
00:00:31On German dark bread?
00:00:32I think that's a great compromise between my desire to have healthy, organic food and
00:00:36your desire to never, ever, ever change the original menu.
00:00:40No thank you.
00:00:41Dad, try it.
00:00:42Molly, we've been over this.
00:00:44As long as I own the diner and I'm the head cook, we're sticking to the menu your mom
00:00:48put together.
00:00:49None of this foofy stuff.
00:00:51Did I mention it's on German dunkelbrot?
00:00:54I don't care if it's on a Bavarian pretzel.
00:00:57We're not serving avocado toast.
00:00:59I love avocado toast.
00:01:02Well, then here you are, Aunt Gert.
00:01:05Mmm.
00:01:06Gadzooks.
00:01:09Mmm.
00:01:10See, Aunt Gert likes it.
00:01:12Yeah, well, she'll eat anything.
00:01:13I'm a woman of the world, Martin.
00:01:15Well, I guess women of the world don't pay their own tab.
00:01:18At my family's restaurant?
00:01:20I think not.
00:01:22This really is to die for.
00:01:24Tell that to Grumpy Cat over there.
00:01:26He's still refusing to change the menu even the slightest bit.
00:01:29Ugh.
00:01:30I just wish.
00:01:32What?
00:01:33I don't know.
00:01:39I'll get the mail.
00:01:40I got it.
00:01:41Stay to the griddle.
00:01:44Here you go.
00:01:50Is this what I think it is?
00:01:53I'm taking care of it.
00:01:55Not the IRS.
00:01:57Lolly, I know he doesn't say it much, but he's really lucky to have you.
00:02:02You keep this place running.
00:02:04Well, we're running, all right.
00:02:05To where? I don't know.
00:02:07Order's up!
00:02:15That's a pretty sad face for a kid who's going on a Grand European vacation.
00:02:19Because I want you to come with us.
00:02:21I know, baby.
00:02:22We talked about this already, remember?
00:02:24But I still don't understand.
00:02:26The hockey season's over.
00:02:27The Blue Jackets won't need you until next season.
00:02:29You're right, Sammy.
00:02:30But your mom and I just decided that it would be better if it was just the two of you that went.
00:02:35And I'm going to see Grandma and Grandpa in Minnesota.
00:02:38And then, when you get back, you and I are going up to the Boundary Waters.
00:02:42We're going to go hiking.
00:02:43We're going to go fishing.
00:02:44We're going to see the new cabin.
00:02:46I know that it's been very hard on you since your mom and I split up.
00:02:51I get that.
00:02:52But that does not change the fact that she and I love you very much.
00:02:58And it's okay to be sad that I'm not going to be there.
00:03:01But it's also okay to have a lot of fun.
00:03:04Can you try and do that for me?
00:03:05Yeah.
00:03:06Okay.
00:03:07All right, give me a hug.
00:03:11I'm going to miss you every second that you're gone, okay?
00:03:14Okay.
00:03:15I love you.
00:03:16Love you too.
00:03:17Take a million pictures.
00:03:18I will.
00:03:26What in the world?
00:03:35What are these suckers doing in my freezer?
00:03:37Oh, he's been giving me her extra produce from the market stand.
00:03:40I've been experimenting.
00:03:42You seem to be liking them.
00:03:44It doesn't matter whether I like them or not.
00:03:46What matters is that these are taking up space in my deep freeze.
00:03:49Well, maybe we'd have more space in your deep freeze if you didn't order so much cod from Tommy's Seafood.
00:03:54Yeah, it was supposed to be a half order.
00:03:55You ordered double.
00:03:56You gave me a good price.
00:03:57We have too much.
00:03:58I'm sending it back.
00:03:59He's had a real hard couple of months, Lolly.
00:04:01He needs the money.
00:04:02So do we.
00:04:04We could freeze the extra.
00:04:05We'll have the room if you clear out those ice pops in there.
00:04:09You seem to be clearing them out just fine.
00:04:12But don't eat them all.
00:04:13I'll eat as many as I want.
00:04:24You love your family.
00:04:25They don't drive you up the wall.
00:04:26You love your family.
00:04:27You wouldn't change a thing.
00:04:28You love your family.
00:04:39You love your family.
00:04:51Hi, Ronnie.
00:04:52Hey, Mom.
00:04:54Oh, honey.
00:04:56Oh, hey.
00:04:57Who's this?
00:04:59This is Kirby.
00:05:00Oh, he's very cute.
00:05:02He's got a lot of energy.
00:05:04We're fostering him until he finds a place.
00:05:06Is that so?
00:05:07Dad's already smitten with him.
00:05:08We took him up to Knutson's Cabin at the Boundary Waters,
00:05:10and he just loved exploring up there.
00:05:12He should. He's a dog.
00:05:14You might enjoy spending some time with him while you're here.
00:05:16Dogs have a way of making everything better.
00:05:18Maybe with a little bit of training.
00:05:20Oh, come on in.
00:05:22Okay.
00:05:23Come on in.
00:05:29Lolly still lives there, you know.
00:05:32Yeah, I'd assume as much.
00:05:33Yeah, maybe you two should catch up while you're in town.
00:05:35I'm sure I'll bump into her here and there.
00:05:38Yeah.
00:05:45Now, these are greenhouse-grown avocados.
00:05:47My very first harvest.
00:05:49I hope you like them.
00:05:51Hi.
00:05:52Hi.
00:05:53Hello.
00:05:54Ooh, what you got in the cooler?
00:05:55Some cold brewskies?
00:05:57You wish.
00:05:58No, I made ice pops from the extra props you gave me.
00:06:00What?
00:06:02Let me see.
00:06:03Ooh, can I try one?
00:06:05All you can eat.
00:06:09Strawberry and lavender?
00:06:11It's one flavor. I got more in there.
00:06:13Well, it's heavenly.
00:06:14Do you want to try to sell them?
00:06:16You think people will buy them?
00:06:17I was just going to give them away at the diner, but my dad made me clean out the deep freeze.
00:06:20Do I dare ask how the avocado toast conversation went?
00:06:23Nine-nine, fräulein.
00:06:24Even on German bread?
00:06:26Even on German bread.
00:06:27Well, I guess you're not going to be ordering any of my greenhouse avocados then.
00:06:31I wish.
00:06:32I'd have an avocado palooza if I had my own restaurant.
00:06:35But at this rate, I guess I never will.
00:06:38You okay?
00:06:39You seem a little not-your-sun-shiny-self today.
00:06:43Ignore me. I'm doing some soul searching.
00:06:45While you're searching, why don't you take some more of that excess fruit and keep these bad boys coming?
00:06:50I can do that. It's been fun to make.
00:06:52Keep my mind off the craziness for a bit.
00:06:54Now, would any of this craziness have to do with the perennial return of a certain neighbor?
00:07:01I don't want to talk about it.
00:07:03Okay, I will take my foot out of my mouth and replace it with this delicious popsicle.
00:07:07Join you.
00:07:08Sure.
00:07:11Hey.
00:07:12Hi.
00:07:13Hey.
00:07:14How do you like the old room?
00:07:15Oh, it's nice. I really love the country bed-and-breakfast vibe it's got going.
00:07:18We could put up your old Kirby pocket posters if you want.
00:07:22Yeah, we named the dog after him.
00:07:24I understand, Mom.
00:07:25All right, well, we're headed off to happy hour with the Ginses.
00:07:29Hey, do you want to come along?
00:07:30You know, you guys go have fun.
00:07:32I think after the long drive, I should probably get out and stretch my legs and go for a walk.
00:07:36Uh-oh. You said W-A-L-K. That means you're going to have to take him with you.
00:07:41I have to take him with me?
00:07:42Please, honey, it would really help us out.
00:07:44Just swing by Eve's produce. He loves to get the treats there.
00:07:49Okay.
00:07:51Right.
00:07:59Hi. Hello. Hello.
00:08:01Hello. Hello.
00:08:04Oh, my goodness. I am so sorry. He must have slipped his harness.
00:08:09He's just not very well-trained.
00:08:11Molly.
00:08:12Morrie.
00:08:13Hey.
00:08:14Hi. You're here. You're back.
00:08:17Unless you're a hologram.
00:08:19Not a hologram. Okay.
00:08:20No, I'm not a hologram.
00:08:22Great. So...
00:08:26You stay at your parents' house?
00:08:29Yeah. Yeah, I am. Where I usually stay.
00:08:32Right.
00:08:33But we were just talking about these dog treats here.
00:08:38I hear they're amazing. Kirby loves them.
00:08:41Are they good? I'm not a dog person or a dog.
00:08:43Yeah, they look really good.
00:08:45Great. Awesome.
00:08:47Well, I gotta run, because I have to take a nap.
00:08:50But it was great seeing you.
00:08:52Okay. Uh, Morrie.
00:08:53Yeah.
00:08:54Oh.
00:08:56Something's never changed.
00:08:59Okay.
00:09:11I saw that.
00:09:13Do you want to talk about it?
00:09:15No. Yes. I don't know.
00:09:17Are you okay?
00:09:18No. I mean, he barely wanted to talk to me.
00:09:21He just recently got divorced. He probably just feels awkward.
00:09:24Definitely was awkward. But of course it was.
00:09:26I mean, the last time we had an actual conversation, it was this huge blow-up and then the break-up.
00:09:30Then he didn't get closure.
00:09:32I mean, how could I?
00:09:33The only time I actually run into him is in the summer or during Christmas holidays.
00:09:37And he's always with his wife and kid.
00:09:39I'm sorry. That's really tough.
00:09:41Honestly, it wouldn't be so bad if he hadn't become some successful doctor for a professional hockey team.
00:09:46And I'm stuck in the exact same place I was when he left.
00:09:49Roryshaw. The one that got away.
00:09:52And somehow keeps coming back to remind me.
00:09:54You know what? It feels like a box of wine and tortured poets kind of night.
00:09:59No. I got to go back to the diner and do paperwork.
00:10:02On a Friday night?
00:10:03This is my life, Eve.
00:10:04Well, what about tomorrow? We can, you know, put on some sweatpants and have a fun day.
00:10:09My sister wants me to help clean out the attic. My mom's stuff.
00:10:12Which has been there, by the way, since he passed.
00:10:14But for some reason, Daphne has to do it tomorrow.
00:10:17Okay. I'm just going to shut up and give you a hug.
00:10:22Oh.
00:10:24It's okay, buddy. It'll be okay.
00:10:33There's nothing in here.
00:10:35Uh, maybe we could find her old tap shoes up here.
00:10:38Oh, gosh. That would be awesome.
00:10:41Oh, look what I found!
00:10:44Oh, my gosh. Nibbles!
00:10:46I haven't seen this guy in ages.
00:10:48Probably because this place is like the witness protection program for old memories.
00:10:52Ergo, our cleaning it out.
00:10:54Yeah, but why now?
00:10:56Uh, because it's got to get done, and you and I both know that Dad is never going to do it.
00:11:01That's true.
00:11:07What secrets does this hold?
00:11:09Oh, wait!
00:11:11I made it in seventh grade. It's just talk about NSYNC and Orlando Bloom.
00:11:16See, I was more of a One Direction kind of girl.
00:11:18That ages me.
00:11:21Geez, you were a collage fiend.
00:11:23Life before Pinterest.
00:11:26Aw, I remember Toast.
00:11:28Toast.
00:11:30The restaurant, I was just positive I was going to open. Run it just how I wanted it.
00:11:35It'd be chic enough, you know, for celebrities, but also a fun place just to hang with the girls for brunch.
00:11:41Michelin star, of course.
00:11:43Yeah.
00:11:44Fun. Elegant.
00:11:46Basically the opposite of my life right now.
00:11:49Yeah, that basket lighting is just so elegant.
00:11:52Well, it was at the time.
00:11:56It's all just a fantasy.
00:11:59Like me marrying Lance Bass.
00:12:04So, um, here's the deal.
00:12:09Uh, the real reason why I wanted us to clean out the attic...
00:12:12I knew there was a reason!
00:12:14...is because I wanted to make sure the house was all in order for Dad,
00:12:17because I applied to work at this yoga instructor academy in Bali.
00:12:22Stephanie, that's halfway around the world. Absolutely not.
00:12:25Lolly, come on. You're not Mom, and I'm an adult.
00:12:28An adult who jumps from job to job in every field except for marketing.
00:12:32Do you remember the one that you actually got a degree in and now you want to go to Bali and teach yoga? No.
00:12:38Maybe I don't want my diary to be full of regrets.
00:12:43Half neat.
00:12:48That's real mature.
00:13:04Ah!
00:13:06That went well.
00:13:08How long have you been standing there?
00:13:10I just popped up to check on you girls and saw your sister storming away.
00:13:15I made her mad.
00:13:17Are you having any regrets?
00:13:19I'm having all the regrets.
00:13:22My life hasn't turned out exactly how I thought it would. At all.
00:13:28Wish I had known then what I know now.
00:13:31If you were given the chance to peek at the life you wish you had, would you take it?
00:13:36Yeah, of course. Who wouldn't? There's no sense in wishing for the impossible.
00:13:41Oh, I agree. There's no sense to it per se, but it is possible.
00:13:47I've been holding on to something for you for quite a while, but this is the first time I've felt you really needed it.
00:13:55It's a little small to be a hope chest.
00:13:58It contains much more than hope, my dear.
00:14:03Ah, lemon drops. Okay, well, thanks.
00:14:07Ah! Ah! Not yet.
00:14:10Okay, Anchored, I say this with love, but you're acting weirder than usual right now.
00:14:14Weird doesn't even scratch the surface with these.
00:14:17These are not merely confections. Each of them has a purpose.
00:14:21They can show you a life you wish you had and give you the power to choose it.
00:14:26Magic lemon drops?
00:14:28As the great St. Augustine once said, miracles are not contrary to nature, only contrary to what we know of nature.
00:14:38Okay, I'm going to go with you on this because you're honestly giving me some ASMR tingles.
00:14:43Okay, so, how does it work?
00:14:48Take one before you go to bed.
00:14:51Then say aloud something you wish you could change, a regret or a path not taken.
00:14:57Mm-hmm.
00:14:58When you wake up, you will live one day as it would have been if you'd made that choice.
00:15:04And then what?
00:15:05When you wake up the next morning, you're back in your life here.
00:15:08Will I remember what happened?
00:15:10With the first three drops, yes.
00:15:12But if you use the fourth drop to return to one of the other lives, that reality will become your permanent life.
00:15:23And those memories, the only ones you'll have.
00:15:30Okay.
00:15:32Magic lemon drops.
00:15:34Of course.
00:15:35Yes, of course.
00:15:37Doubt it all you want, but if you don't give this a try, your doubt may turn to regret.
00:15:53Okay.
00:16:24Okay.
00:16:33Well, this is crazy. I just brushed my teeth.
00:16:37Whatever.
00:16:42Right, I gotta say it out loud.
00:16:45Toast.
00:16:54Mm.
00:16:59Are you kidding me?
00:17:02What is even happening?
00:17:06Anker, what did you give me?
00:17:13This is insane.
00:17:14What's insane?
00:17:15Who is this?
00:17:16India, your restaurant manager.
00:17:18Restaurant manager.
00:17:20Are you all right?
00:17:21Ask me tomorrow.
00:17:23I know it's your day off, but this is important.
00:17:26You're not gonna believe this, but the Michelin guy's here.
00:17:30Oh.
00:17:31Molly, did you hear what I said about the Michelin guy?
00:17:35Like the cartoon guy who looks like a marshmallow?
00:17:37Okay, that was a very solid joke, but I'm too anxious to joke right now.
00:17:40We didn't know it was him, of course, but after he finished, he introduced himself.
00:17:44It was Ed Wainwright, Michelin's number one inspector.
00:17:47He asked if he could meet you.
00:17:49I think we might be getting that second star.
00:17:51Did you say second?
00:17:52Yes.
00:17:53Okay, um, where do I meet you?
00:17:56What do you mean where?
00:17:57Are you okay?
00:17:58Do I need to call a doctor?
00:18:00No, I'm fine.
00:18:01Ish.
00:18:02Fine.
00:18:03Fine-ish.
00:18:04I just had this weird dream.
00:18:05Maybe it's just sort of lingering.
00:18:06That happens when I mix my melatonin with my energy drinks.
00:18:08But seriously.
00:18:10How soon can you get here?
00:18:11I can come right away.
00:18:13But seriously, where do I meet you?
00:18:15Uh, I don't know.
00:18:16Maybe at a little establishment that you've spent all of your blood, sweat, and tears building
00:18:20over the last seven years.
00:18:22Just a thought.
00:18:24Toast!
00:18:41Oh my gosh, Wally Blanchard.
00:18:44Thank God you made it.
00:18:46Okay, Ed's about to leave, but he wants to shake your hand.
00:18:49You must be India.
00:18:50It's so nice to meet up with you.
00:18:53Because we work together.
00:18:54Look, I'm sorry it's not as busy as usual.
00:18:56I hate for you to see us when it's this slow.
00:18:58Slow?
00:18:59Look, I already let the marketing team have it.
00:19:00It won't happen again.
00:19:01Okay, okay, great.
00:19:02Uh, what else should I know?
00:19:03Uh, you will be very glad to know that the Nets have chosen us as their official game
00:19:07manager.
00:19:08What else should I know?
00:19:09Uh, you will be very glad to know that the Nets have chosen us as their official game
00:19:13day restaurant for all game days next year.
00:19:15My dad's going to freak out.
00:19:16No kidding.
00:19:17Maybe don't tell him until after he's done his treatment.
00:19:19Treatment?
00:19:20Mr. Wainwright, thank you so much for waiting.
00:19:23This is our humble captain, Wally Blanchard.
00:19:26Wally, your avocado toast is truly Titanic.
00:19:30As if it were made for Zeus himself.
00:19:33We are literally called Toast, so we better have the best.
00:19:36Well, you truly are the toast of the town.
00:19:39Oh!
00:19:40The toast of the town.
00:19:42Now, I don't normally do this in person, but because we are both here, I would like to
00:19:48award you your second star.
00:19:51Huzzah!
00:19:53Wow.
00:19:55Wow, this is...
00:19:57It looks like I need to get our lolly back to Mount Olympus.
00:20:00Enjoy your meals.
00:20:03I should mention, Nicola has some proverbial ants in her pantry right now.
00:20:07Oh, no.
00:20:08Hey, excuse me.
00:20:10We have to talk.
00:20:11Our distributor messed up again.
00:20:13One moment, please.
00:20:16I need to talk to her now.
00:20:18Okay, I understand that.
00:20:19Hi, you've reached Marty.
00:20:20Leave a message.
00:20:22Hey, Dad, it's me.
00:20:23Um, just call and say hi.
00:20:25Give me a call when you get this.
00:20:27Okay.
00:20:28Love you.
00:20:33India laid into me already.
00:20:35Do you really gotta call and chew me out personally?
00:20:37Uh, what?
00:20:38No.
00:20:39I just called to say hi.
00:20:40Hi.
00:20:41How are you?
00:20:42Well, I'm at work on a Sunday trying to fix the banner ads for your restaurant.
00:20:46I'm so stressed.
00:20:47Okay.
00:20:48Um, hey, do you know how Dad is?
00:20:49I tried to call him, but it just went straight to voicemail.
00:20:51Uh, he's at swim therapy with Ramona.
00:20:55Ramona.
00:20:57His wife, our stepmom.
00:20:59Hello?
00:21:00Hello?
00:21:02Okay, okay.
00:21:04Um, what's going on with his treatment?
00:21:07Uh, she wanted him to get into this new program.
00:21:09It's supposed to be really great for people recovering from strokes.
00:21:12Look, Lolly, I gotta get back to work here, okay?
00:21:14Wait, wait, wait, Daphne.
00:21:15I need to catch up more.
00:21:17Please, you only ever call about work.
00:21:20I'll fix the banner ads, alright?
00:21:22Bye-bye.
00:21:23Wait, Daphne.
00:21:24Daphne.
00:21:30Daphne.
00:21:40T-Rex?
00:21:42Hello, Cooper.
00:22:01Okay, I'll go get her.
00:22:03Okay, I'm sorry, you're gonna have to deal with her.
00:22:06But you're doing such a great job already.
00:22:08It's gotta be you.
00:22:12I would love to have a special dessert on the menu,
00:22:14but that's really difficult when the suppliers don't deliver enough produce.
00:22:17I'm sure we can figure something out.
00:22:19Who's gonna deal with the customers who come in wanting white peach babkas for dessert and can't have any?
00:22:22Well, make a chef's special dessert.
00:22:24I have so many ideas.
00:22:25For what?
00:22:26For the chef's special, but also for the menu overall.
00:22:29I know we just got our second star, but it would be even better if we got our third.
00:22:33Okay.
00:22:34You know, it's healthy and organic, which, yay!
00:22:36But it's also a tad minimalistic.
00:22:38Well, you know what? Here.
00:22:40You're the chef now.
00:22:41No, no, no, you're the chef.
00:22:42Sorry, I didn't mean it like that.
00:22:43Chef, I was just throwing out ideas which I thought I could do in my own restaurant, but that's fine.
00:22:47You know, what you are doing is great.
00:22:50It's so good.
00:22:51Please, not today.
00:22:52Please?
00:22:53Please?
00:22:56Fine.
00:22:57Okay.
00:22:59Boy, you really do need a day off.
00:23:02Tomorrow, though.
00:23:28Sally!
00:23:29There she is.
00:23:30Oh, my goodness.
00:23:32It's so good to see you in person, as much as I love our, you know, memes and texts and all that.
00:23:37It's really good to see you, too.
00:23:39Oh, thank you for getting me the hook-up here with this reservation.
00:23:42I completely forgot, but you saved me.
00:23:45That's what friends are for, right?
00:23:48Yes.
00:23:49And I'm happy we could be friends again.
00:23:53Me, too.
00:23:54Now, look, I know the last time we talked was kind of...
00:23:58I know it's not easy to apologize to me, so I hope you know how much I appreciate that you did it.
00:24:03I do now.
00:24:07Rory.
00:24:09There she is.
00:24:28Oh, Lali, you remember Emma.
00:24:31I sure would.
00:24:32It's so good to see you again.
00:24:36I've bragged to all our New York friends that we have the hook-up here.
00:24:39They're so jealous.
00:24:40Yeah, no problem.
00:24:42Yeah, it definitely scored me some boyfriend points with this.
00:24:45So glad I could do that for you.
00:24:47Well, your table's ready, so I'm going to go get the hostess.
00:24:51You'll join us at some point?
00:24:53Wouldn't miss it.
00:24:56She's great, right?
00:24:57Yeah.
00:25:10Oh, this is lovely.
00:25:12Well, some things never change.
00:25:22Okay, I think I'm going to head out if that's okay with you?
00:25:25Okay, yeah.
00:25:27Just think, we get to do this all over again tomorrow.
00:25:30Living the dream.
00:25:33See ya.
00:25:34See ya.
00:25:37I love my life.
00:25:38This is my dream.
00:25:41I love my life.
00:25:42This is my restaurant.
00:25:44I love my life.
00:25:45This is my dream.
00:25:53It's the vanilla.
00:25:54Okay.
00:25:55Dad!
00:25:56How many of these do you want?
00:25:58How are you feeling?
00:25:59Squeezed at the moment.
00:26:03I am so sorry for being crappy with you the other day.
00:26:06You're actually apologizing to me.
00:26:08Something I need to get better at doing.
00:26:10Is Aunt Gert in her lair?
00:26:11I think so.
00:26:12Wait.
00:26:14Somebody got up on the right side of the bed.
00:26:20Good morning.
00:26:21I have so many questions.
00:26:27So, where did you choose to go?
00:26:30Brooklyn, New York.
00:26:31You should have seen it.
00:26:32I had my own restaurant.
00:26:33You know, the one that I've been dreaming about.
00:26:35How was it?
00:26:36It was beautiful.
00:26:37Although, I do have to say, it was a little bit more fun when it was a magazine cutout in my imagination.
00:26:42Because in reality, I was just as stressed as I am at the eatery.
00:26:45If not more so.
00:26:46What about the rest of your life?
00:26:47The restaurant was my life.
00:26:48I didn't do anything else.
00:26:49My relationship with Daphne was terrible.
00:26:52Because Dad had a stroke.
00:26:54Although, he was married to this woman named Ramona.
00:26:57Which, you know, it's been a while.
00:26:58Hasn't it?
00:27:00Was that all?
00:27:01No.
00:27:03Rory was there.
00:27:04Which is really weird.
00:27:05Because the last time I actually saw him, he made it very clear that he'd rather be taking a nap.
00:27:10Tell me, Lolly.
00:27:11This place you went to, this life.
00:27:13Yeah.
00:27:14If you could choose this version, would you?
00:27:19So many pluses and minuses.
00:27:21I mean, gosh.
00:27:22The restaurant was amazing.
00:27:24And I have to tell you, there were a lot of very handsome men in my DMs.
00:27:28But Dad's health scared me.
00:27:30And whatever this was with Rory.
00:27:32I mean, what are these lemon drops?
00:27:34I mean, is this my future?
00:27:35Is this another reality?
00:27:36I mean, how is this possible?
00:27:37Perhaps the strong acidic nature of the lemons mixed with their pleasurable appearance allows them to alter the mind's chemistry.
00:27:47That sounds so made up.
00:27:49Honestly, I have no idea.
00:27:51You don't know?
00:27:52Well, the woman who gave them to me never explained the mechanics.
00:27:56I only know they allow us to view the moments we regret or can't reconcile with fresh eyes.
00:28:02How they do that is a mystery.
00:28:05Who is this woman?
00:28:07Esmeralda.
00:28:08If that was her real name.
00:28:09Yeah, that's definitely made up.
00:28:11I met her at a carnival when I was in my early twenties.
00:28:14A carnival?
00:28:16I had just suffered heartbreak and I laundered into her tent.
00:28:20She took one look at me and she said,
00:28:23I have been waiting for you.
00:28:26Which I thought was a line.
00:28:27But it wasn't.
00:28:28No.
00:28:29She gave me the lemon drops and told me how to use them and all of that came true.
00:28:35But the most important part is what you learn from each experience.
00:28:40And then what you choose to do next.
00:28:43To find your bliss.
00:28:46Find my bliss.
00:28:51Hmm.
00:28:53What do you think, Mom?
00:28:56Maybe you should ask her.
00:29:02I kissed the flirty stone today.
00:29:04It was awesome, but kind of gross.
00:29:06I bet.
00:29:07It's supposed to give you the gift of Gappa.
00:29:09I don't know if it worked.
00:29:10I think it did, honey.
00:29:11Okay, down.
00:29:12To your bed.
00:29:13Daddy and Grandpa got a dog?
00:29:15They did.
00:29:16He's very cute.
00:29:17He's very poorly behaved.
00:29:18And his name is Kirby.
00:29:19He's so cute.
00:29:20I wish we had a dog.
00:29:21Yes.
00:29:22Well, maybe someday we will.
00:29:23Can we take him to the new cabin?
00:29:25My best friend Trent says fishing is way better with a dog.
00:29:28Oh, did Trent say that?
00:29:29Yeah.
00:29:30If we can wrestle him away from Grandpa, then sure.
00:29:32Why not?
00:29:33We're gonna catch so many pike up there.
00:29:35I can't wait, baby.
00:29:36Okay.
00:29:37I gotta go to bed now.
00:29:38But I'll send you more pictures tomorrow.
00:29:40Okay.
00:29:41I'm counting on it.
00:29:42I love you.
00:29:43I miss you.
00:29:44Love you, Dad!
00:29:50I love you.
00:30:01Lemon drops.
00:30:02I know.
00:30:03It's crazy, right?
00:30:04Uh, crazy wouldn't be the word that I would use.
00:30:07It wasn't a dream, Eve.
00:30:08Hallucination?
00:30:09No.
00:30:10It felt totally real.
00:30:11And I had really cute hair.
00:30:13Did Aunt Gerton put a little something in your candies?
00:30:16I don't know.
00:30:17But it made me realize some things that I need to take care of.
00:30:19Like what?
00:30:20Like apologizing to Rory.
00:30:21See, in this toast version of me, I made things right with him.
00:30:24I mean, we weren't together.
00:30:25He had this really hot girlfriend.
00:30:27It was terrible.
00:30:28But anyway, he was still in my life.
00:30:30Okay.
00:30:31I'm not saying I believe any of this because...
00:30:34I know.
00:30:35But if it's helping you get some things done that you've been putting off...
00:30:39I say lemon drop away.
00:30:42So when are you gonna talk to Rory?
00:30:44I don't know.
00:30:45But first, I have to have a very unfun conversation with my dad about finances.
00:30:48Thanks.
00:30:49Oh, speaking of, this might not do anything, but...
00:30:54What is this?
00:30:55It's your portion of the popsicle sales.
00:30:57They blew it out of the freezer.
00:30:59Seriously?
00:31:00Yes, people just love them.
00:31:01So I know you're busy right now, but if you can, keep them coming.
00:31:07This is making my head hurt.
00:31:09Well, then don't eat it so fast.
00:31:11It's not the popsicles, the paperwork.
00:31:13Dad, we gotta figure this out.
00:31:15It's property tax. We'll pay it.
00:31:17It's a very big increase.
00:31:18What choice do we got, huh?
00:31:20We can't sell this place.
00:31:24Don't.
00:31:25This diner was your mom's, and I am not gonna be the one to lose that.
00:31:30Then we have to come up with an alternative.
00:31:32Do you have any ideas?
00:31:37I'm gonna go pound out some schnitzel.
00:31:39I think better when I cook.
00:31:41Dad, wait, wait, wait.
00:31:42I know it's your birthday tomorrow. Don't think I forgot.
00:31:44Yeah.
00:31:45What do you wanna do?
00:31:46Same thing we do every year.
00:31:47I'm gonna make you a pie.
00:31:49Do you wanna do something special?
00:31:50We could go to the summer picnic.
00:31:51Lemon drop pie is special enough.
00:32:13In despair
00:32:16I stepped within the chapel doors
00:32:21Will he just keep running?
00:32:23Or will he come back?
00:32:25Oh, he's coming back.
00:32:30I didn't even know you had a dog.
00:32:32I don't, technically.
00:32:34But my parents are fostering him.
00:32:38And I think they're not so subtly trying to get me to adopt him.
00:32:43Which, you know, given the year I've had, might be a good thing.
00:32:48I heard.
00:32:50People like to give me your updates, whether I ask them to or not.
00:32:53I get yours as well.
00:32:54Well, that's a short list.
00:32:55Not really.
00:32:57How's everything with the diner?
00:32:59Hasn't changed. Won't change.
00:33:01Well, I bet old Papa Martin's watching that thing like a German hawk.
00:33:05Yeah, it's his way of keeping mom's legacy alive.
00:33:07It's his way of honoring her.
00:33:09Seems like he's doing a pretty good job.
00:33:11Can't fault him for that.
00:33:16Um, so I'm pretty surprised with your text.
00:33:20I'm surprised I sent it.
00:33:23Everything okay?
00:33:24I want it to be.
00:33:27Between us, I mean.
00:33:29Sorry, how do I follow?
00:33:32I don't like how things ended between us.
00:33:35Here, on this log, which feels like a hundred years ago.
00:33:38Oh, well, yeah, I got over that a long time ago.
00:33:41Over that.
00:33:42Well, I didn't.
00:33:44It wasn't fair for me to get so angry at you.
00:33:46I mean, you were just following your dreams.
00:33:47I had no right to get in the way.
00:33:49Well, we were in a relationship.
00:33:50I think that kind of gives you the right to an opinion.
00:33:52An opinion, sure, but that was hard on you.
00:33:54I knew Duke was your dream program, and the distance scared me.
00:33:58And instead of supporting you, I pushed you away.
00:34:00I'm sorry.
00:34:02Hey, hey, come here.
00:34:06I think because you were the one that helped me through everything with my mom,
00:34:10I was afraid to tell you how attached I'd become.
00:34:14Instead of telling you how I felt, I just, I shut down, and I gave up on us.
00:34:20Okay.
00:34:21Drop.
00:34:23Ollie.
00:34:26I appreciate you saying all that.
00:34:29And yes, to be honest, at the time, I was pretty hurt.
00:34:32And I had to get over it, but I did.
00:34:36And the point is, is that I forgave you, Ollie.
00:34:38And I forgave you a long time ago.
00:34:40So I want you to know that.
00:34:47Do you want to throw a prank?
00:34:48Ready.
00:34:52So how are you doing with everything? How are you holding up?
00:34:55I don't know.
00:34:57I think, I think I'm just trying to be like her.
00:35:01I think I'm just trying to be like Kirby here.
00:35:03How's that?
00:35:04If I just keep my eye on the ball, and just keep moving, I'll be fine.
00:35:09It's the sitting still that's hard.
00:35:12Yeah.
00:35:16Oh, sorry.
00:35:18I need to run, because my parents apparently got a social life in retirement.
00:35:22Oh!
00:35:23And I managed to score an invite.
00:35:25Okay, drop it, drop it.
00:35:26Well, thanks for hearing me out.
00:35:28Meeting me here. Appreciate it.
00:35:30Of course. What are old friends for?
00:35:32Yeah.
00:35:34Kirby, come on. Come on, good boy.
00:35:37Hey, Rory.
00:35:38Yeah.
00:35:39Stop by the eatery while you're in town.
00:35:41I don't know. Do you still serve schpetzle?
00:35:42Till the day we close.
00:35:44I'll be there.
00:35:45Come on.
00:35:47Come on. Doh, doh, doh, doh, doh.
00:35:48There you go.
00:35:49Let's go to the car. Let's go to the car. Kirby.
00:36:00Mom.
00:36:07Mom.
00:36:24Jane Austen.
00:36:26Brains?
00:36:36Oh.
00:36:41Good morning, sleepyhead.
00:36:52Oh, honey.
00:36:54Oh, honey.
00:36:58Sweetheart.
00:36:59Hi, mom.
00:37:00Hi.
00:37:03Want some tea?
00:37:14Why are you looking at me like that?
00:37:16Do I have something on my face?
00:37:18No.
00:37:19Just feeling sentimental, I guess.
00:37:21It's the move.
00:37:23We've both been in this house a long time.
00:37:25It's natural to feel emotional.
00:37:27I am still in shock that you're able to move on from so much history.
00:37:31Well, history's only helpful if it doesn't block you from the future.
00:37:36So then what are the plans for our future today?
00:37:38Well, I really should be packing.
00:37:40The movers come in four days, but I really don't want to miss the summer picnic.
00:37:44Of course. And it's dad's birthday. Wait, what are we going to do?
00:37:47Well, I suppose the same thing we do every year.
00:37:50Exactly. Packing can wait.
00:37:52Let's make him a lemon drop pie.
00:38:18Do you remember the three secret ingredients that make this the best lemon drop pie?
00:38:22Meyer lemons.
00:38:24European butter.
00:38:25And lemon balm.
00:38:26In the language of flowers, lemon balm means sympathy or good cheer.
00:38:30So every bite of this pie can make someone's day a little brighter.
00:38:33Like magic.
00:38:35Never knew that.
00:38:47I want to say.
00:38:51Send a man a value that money can't buy.
00:38:57Like a photo of a loved one taken by the tide.
00:39:05Where did you come up with the idea of garnishing it with lemon drops?
00:39:08Well, it's the name of the pie. Without them, it would be a boring old lemon meringue.
00:39:11Well, sure, but I've never seen it anywhere else. Did you invent it?
00:39:15It was your Aunt Gert who gave me the idea.
00:39:17She's always had a very odd obsession with lemon drops.
00:39:20Yeah, that tracks.
00:39:22Wait, where is Aunt Gert, by the way?
00:39:23Oh, she's still in Bali with Daphne.
00:39:25What? She's in Bali?
00:39:27Yeah. Daphne said her Ashta Vakrasana put everyone else's to shame.
00:39:31I have no idea what it means.
00:39:33And you're okay with that? With Daphne being in Bali?
00:39:36Well, it's her life, Lolly. She's free to make her own way.
00:39:39I mean, we don't have to understand it as long as she does.
00:39:42I'm surprised. I could have sworn you would have thought it was a terrible idea.
00:39:45Well, why would you think that?
00:39:47I don't know. I guess I just assumed that you would think it wasn't safe.
00:39:51You can't make choices based on what scares you the least.
00:39:55Your sister was very afraid to go to Bali. That's how I knew she had to go do it.
00:39:59She did not let on that she was scared.
00:40:01Well, to me she did. But maybe not to her older sister that she idolizes.
00:40:06Idolizes? That's a strong word.
00:40:08Maybe not strong enough. Your sister loves you more than you know.
00:40:14I guess I could get better at showing it back a little bit more.
00:40:17I think we all can.
00:40:21A perfect masterpiece. Let's bring one to Dad.
00:40:39I can't believe it.
00:40:41I know. No matter how many times I pass by, it's a shock to me every time.
00:40:45You know, I'm glad your father never saw the day I closed the place.
00:40:49The eatery was always so much more important to him than it ever was to me.
00:40:53Poor guy ran himself into the ground trying to save it.
00:40:58Dad's gone.
00:41:00Oh. He's never forgotten.
00:41:03I keep this here so he's always with me.
00:41:06He's such a handsome fella.
00:41:15Let's dig in.
00:41:22Happy birthday, Martin.
00:41:24I love you, Dad.
00:41:36I'm so happy we're doing this.
00:41:38I never could drag your father out here, so I'm glad I have you.
00:41:41I couldn't be happier if I tried.
00:41:45Uh-oh. Rory Shaw alert at 11 o'clock.
00:41:48Oh, shoot. Sorry, Mom.
00:41:50It's fine. Go. Go say hi. I got this.
00:41:53You're waiting. I don't see anybody waiting.
00:41:55It's been a while since you connected.
00:41:57Yes, Mother.
00:42:03Hey, Rory.
00:42:06Hey.
00:42:09Lolly. Lolly Blanchard.
00:42:11Your neighbor across the street since we were, like, nine.
00:42:13Oh, my gosh. Yeah. Hi.
00:42:15How you doing? I feel like I haven't seen you since you were playing tea party in your yard.
00:42:19But, uh, you grew up.
00:42:21That's the thing about time. It just keeps going.
00:42:24Yeah. I would take it personally.
00:42:26I'm a pretty, um, forgetful person.
00:42:29I remember.
00:42:32Who are you looking for?
00:42:34My parents.
00:42:36They keep nagging me about hanging out.
00:42:38Because I'm just so busy.
00:42:40Yeah, right. So, uh, how's Columbus?
00:42:42I'm not there anymore.
00:42:44I took a job here, actually.
00:42:46The, uh, twins lured me away.
00:42:48You have twins?
00:42:50No, the Minnesota twins. 1987, 1991.
00:42:53Oh, you're their teen physician.
00:42:55See? See how quickly I put that together?
00:42:57It's very impressive. Very.
00:42:59So, what do you do?
00:43:02I am a sales rep for a company that supplies food to restaurants.
00:43:07Oh, nice.
00:43:09Do you like doing that?
00:43:10Probably not.
00:43:13That's very funny. I didn't know that you were funny.
00:43:16Oh, well, I guess we never really connected, so why would you?
00:43:20Yeah, I guess that's true.
00:43:22But I did almost ask you out once.
00:43:23Wait, why didn't you?
00:43:25We were neighbors, and it's a little too close to home.
00:43:28Literally as close as you can get.
00:43:30And then I think you were on and off again with some guy in college.
00:43:33And I was heading off to Duke for a residency.
00:43:36I guess the timing wasn't right.
00:43:38Oh, I guess.
00:43:39Oh, one second.
00:43:42I gotta take this, because this is Buxton calling.
00:43:45He's counting on me to get him off the I.R.A.S.A.P.
00:43:48So, it was great seeing you, though.
00:43:50Yeah, you—
00:43:51Bux! How you doing?
00:43:52You too.
00:43:54Ha! I bet.
00:44:01What were you and Rory Shaw talking about?
00:44:04Not a whole lot. He's so different than I remember.
00:44:07No more unrequited childhood crush, huh?
00:44:10More unrequited than ever.
00:44:12You barely remembered me.
00:44:17I'm sorry, sweetie.
00:44:19That's hard.
00:44:21Mom, can I ask your advice?
00:44:23Of course.
00:44:26I've been feeling really stuck lately.
00:44:28Like my life isn't what I thought it could be or would be.
00:44:33I just feel like I'm at a crossroads and I don't know what the right direction is.
00:44:37Well, it sounds to me like you're caught up in the sheds and woods.
00:44:41You have to let all that fall apart in order to find your bliss.
00:44:45What does that mean?
00:44:47And how do I know it's going to make me truly happy?
00:44:49It all seems so fleeting.
00:44:51Well, happiness is fickle.
00:44:54Often based on circumstances.
00:44:57If you chase happiness, you're more often than not going to be disappointed.
00:45:02But following your bliss?
00:45:04That's something entirely different.
00:45:07It means facing your life with honesty.
00:45:10And pursuing each spark of joy.
00:45:13It's always there somewhere.
00:45:16In some small thing to be grateful for.
00:45:19Something to celebrate.
00:45:21A way to give joy to others.
00:45:24A new way to grow.
00:45:27That's what it means to follow your bliss.
00:45:33I love you so much, Mom.
00:45:36I love you, Lolly.
00:45:51Shh.
00:46:15Morning, Lolly.
00:46:18You saw her, didn't you?
00:46:20Yeah.
00:46:21Oh, how was my baby sister?
00:46:23Beautiful.
00:46:24Even more at peace than I remember.
00:46:26Wonderful to be able to see her again.
00:46:29It was.
00:46:31Why couldn't you?
00:46:32I'm too old for all that.
00:46:34Besides, I used up my share of the lemon drops years ago.
00:46:38What was it like when you did it?
00:46:40Enlightening.
00:46:41You gotta give me more than that.
00:46:43I mean, is this your original path, or did you choose one of the lemon drops?
00:46:46I chose what was best for me and my loved ones.
00:46:50And that, my dear, is all I'll say about that.
00:46:55Well, that's not helpful.
00:47:03Ice pops!
00:47:04Good! We've already been getting calls about them.
00:47:07Crazy!
00:47:08Lemon Spearmint is my newest concoction.
00:47:11Ooh, in honor of your adventures in Lemon Drop La La Land?
00:47:16Okay, let's put this in the freezer, and I want to hear all about this.
00:47:19So much to tell you.
00:47:20Oh, gosh, these are heavy!
00:47:22All right, thanks a lot. We'll see you again.
00:47:29Rory Shah!
00:47:31Hey!
00:47:32Hey, how you doing?
00:47:34Good to see you!
00:47:35Good to see you!
00:47:36Yeah, Lolly said that I should stop by, so I figured I'd maybe grab a bite, get some work done.
00:47:41You're welcome anytime.
00:47:43I mean, this place has really not changed a bit, has it?
00:47:45Unfortunately, we're not as busy as we used to be.
00:47:48Lolly might have said something about that as well.
00:47:51You two are talking.
00:47:52We are, a little bit.
00:47:53Good, good. I know she missed you.
00:47:56Hey, hey, listen, your old booth is open. Grab a seat. I'll bring you a menu.
00:48:01Oh, no need. You said the place doesn't change, right?
00:48:03Only due to inflation.
00:48:04Okay, well then, I'll have the Shrine Hoxa and a healthy side of the Spätzle, please.
00:48:09Ah, well said.
00:48:12So, you saw your mom. That must have been so special.
00:48:16It was. Wait, does this mean you believe me?
00:48:18I believe that you believe.
00:48:21That's a cop-out.
00:48:22So, how were things with Rory this time around?
00:48:25Non-existent. He barely recognized me.
00:48:27What? How is that possible? You lived across the street from one another for, like, years.
00:48:31I think he saw me as this little neighborhood kid who had a crush on him or something.
00:48:35You know, it wasn't until we bonded after my mom's accident, but with her still alive...
00:48:40Oh, you never got the chance to.
00:48:42It was really sad to see a world where we never connected.
00:48:46What does that tell you, Lolly?
00:48:48It highlights how pivotal he was in my life, even if he's not in it anymore.
00:48:52Currently. I mean, there's a lot of time on the clock still.
00:48:55That's why I apologized.
00:48:56In real life or Lemonland?
00:48:58In real life.
00:48:59And?
00:49:00And he said he forgave me, which was nice, but I doubt he could truly forget.
00:49:04So many things I wish I had done differently, but what's done is done.
00:49:08Unless there was a world where you never did it in the first place.
00:49:12Ha! You do believe.
00:49:14I never said that.
00:49:18Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you.
00:49:24Happy birthday, dear Marty.
00:49:28Happy birthday to me.
00:49:34Happy birthday, Dad.
00:49:35Aw, thanks.
00:49:36I am gonna go stash this.
00:49:40It's literally all he wants for his birthday.
00:49:42It's adorable.
00:49:43What are you doing here?
00:49:44I took you up on your offer.
00:49:45Do you want to maybe join me for a little bit?
00:49:47Yeah, glad you did.
00:49:50So, what did you get up to today?
00:49:53Well, I made Dad that pie, and I went to Eve's Produce and I dropped off a big batch of these fruit pops that I made.
00:49:59Like frozen fruit pops?
00:50:01So, what do you call them? Like Lolly's Pops?
00:50:04I love that.
00:50:05It's kind of a no-brainer, right?
00:50:06Yeah. Apparently they're doing really well. And Eve thinks I'm onto something.
00:50:11I think pretty much anything that you do is gonna be pretty special.
00:50:24It's a picture of my daughter. So, she's in Europe right now with her mother on a little vacation.
00:50:29She's got a great smile. What is she like?
00:50:32She's a really happy kid. She's obsessed with history and the outdoors. Loves castles.
00:50:39And that's actually why we'd originally planned to do this trip together.
00:50:44But life is a way of upending your plans.
00:50:46Yeah, I know about that.
00:50:48How are you doing, by the way? If you don't mind me asking.
00:50:51No, it's okay. I'm okay. And I'm good with a divorce.
00:50:57Which, I know that sounds terrible. That you're good with a divorce.
00:51:00But Beth and I were always just better as friends.
00:51:03And as of right now, the co-parenting thing is not as bad as I had feared.
00:51:08That's important.
00:51:09Just figuring out the next steps, that's kind of terrifying.
00:51:14But it's good to talk about it.
00:51:16You haven't?
00:51:17A little bit. With my therapist. But it's just different talking to you.
00:51:21Well, I am here to talk all things Rory Shaw.
00:51:25Hmm. You sure about that?
00:51:27Yeah. It's one thing I'm pretty sure about.
00:51:31Well, I'm running late for Kirby's 40th walk of the day or something like that. Would you care to join me?
00:51:39Yeah. Hey, Dad, can you close that? You good?
00:51:42Yeah, never better.
00:51:43Do you need a hand with that?
00:51:44No, no, no, no. You two have fun. I can lock up tonight, Lolly.
00:51:48Why don't you go walk that dog?
00:51:50How'd you know we were talking about a dog?
00:51:51Just get out of here.
00:51:52You're busted.
00:51:53Go have fun.
00:52:00Hockey season's creeping up on us.
00:52:02Come on, come on. I'm surprised you remember when that starts.
00:52:04Are you kidding me? How could I not? You used to drag me to the Minnesota Wilds opening game every September.
00:52:10Which you liked. Admit it.
00:52:12Did I? Or was I just being a good girlfriend?
00:52:14You were a very good girlfriend.
00:52:16Until I wasn't.
00:52:18Until I wasn't.
00:52:19Oh, we were young. Come on.
00:52:22Still, I should have apologized sooner.
00:52:25Alright, why don't we say, from here on out, we don't talk about the past. We only focus our conversations on the here and now. Does that sound good?
00:52:32Are you sure you're ready for that?
00:52:34Yeah, try me.
00:52:35Okay. So, what's your dating life like now?
00:52:40Wow, okay, yeah, maybe you're right. I'm not ready for that.
00:52:43You asked for it.
00:52:44I did. I did. It's my fault.
00:52:47You know, honestly, I'm just really focused on Sam right now, making sure that she's comfortable with this next stage of life.
00:52:54And I'm sure I'll get back in the dating game at some point, but I'm not going to force it.
00:52:59How about you?
00:53:01No, there's nothing to talk about there.
00:53:04Oh, come on.
00:53:06Oh, Kirby. Easy, easy.
00:53:08You're beautiful, talented. I don't believe it.
00:53:12Nobody wants that in this town?
00:53:14It's not like I haven't had relationships. I've tried, really. It's just, no one compares to...
00:53:22Oh, come on. You can't leave me hanging like that.
00:53:27I thought we weren't talking about the past.
00:53:30That's fair.
00:53:33I'm going to head in early.
00:53:35Okay. I will see you later, I guess.
00:53:38I'm sure you will.
00:53:45All right, all right. Will you relax?
00:53:50Come on. Come on.
00:53:52Oh!
00:54:12Oh, you gotta be kidding me.
00:54:16Marty? Lou?
00:54:18Oh, Marty. Thank goodness you're here.
00:54:21I forgot my phone. Again.
00:54:26Marty? Marty?
00:54:29Okay, hang on one second. One second.
00:54:35Yes, I'm at the eatery on Woodman Ab. I need an ambulance immediately.
00:54:42Rory Shaw.
00:54:52Happy Anniversary.
00:54:54Hi.
00:54:59Don't fall back asleep, okay?
00:55:01The eatery's not going to open itself.
00:55:03Do I have to?
00:55:05Mm-hmm. You're the one who refused to sell it.
00:55:07Remind me why.
00:55:09Because you, my dear.
00:55:12You're the one who refused to sell it.
00:55:15You're the one who refused to sell it.
00:55:18You're the one who refused to sell it.
00:55:20Because you, my dear, are very sentimental.
00:55:25Now let's get up. Up, up.
00:55:42Daughters.
00:55:45Wait, where are the girls?
00:55:47I thought I'm supposed to be the forgetful one.
00:55:50The girls are at summer camp for another 24 hours.
00:55:53So that means that we have a day to ourselves before the chaos descends.
00:55:58Good chaos?
00:56:01The best.
00:56:04Oh, don't forget to turn the coffee pot on.
00:56:07Sure.
00:56:17Mm.
00:56:29Oh.
00:56:33Somebody's stalling.
00:56:38So what are you doing today?
00:56:40I'm going to work, as usual.
00:56:43They say you take the day off. We can just hang out.
00:56:46I would love that, but you have customers to serve.
00:56:51Okay.
00:56:52Oh, wait, wait, wait.
00:57:02I love you.
00:57:04I love you, too.
00:57:07I love you.
00:57:15What is going on here?
00:57:22You work here?
00:57:23Don't start. Coffee's not on.
00:57:25What? Oh. Yeah, that's because Dad always does it, but apparently he's playing pickleball.
00:57:30Yeah, it's all the rage for retirees.
00:57:32Is he with Ramona?
00:57:34Who?
00:57:35Never mind. Where's Aunt Gert?
00:57:37I don't know. Probably still in Bucharest. Who knows with her.
00:57:40Wait. You're not in Bali doing yoga?
00:57:43And have my big sis give me grief for abandoning Mom's legacy?
00:57:46No, thanks. I'm good.
00:57:49Here are for my lollipops. Gotta get my supply for market day.
00:57:52Hi. I'm still making those.
00:57:55Well, you better be. You know they're my top seller at the market.
00:57:59Just in the truck. Thank you.
00:58:03Oh, gosh. You two are so cute.
00:58:06Yeah?
00:58:07Yeah, you know. You set the bar.
00:58:09Okay, I'll see you later.
00:58:10Oh, happy anniversary.
00:58:12Thanks.
00:58:15It's your turn to clean out the grease traps. Have fun.
00:58:18Ew.
00:58:33Yeah, he was in Kansas.
00:58:37Right. Just retired, but updated all of his equipment, so it's practically brand new.
00:58:40So you're basically getting a really good deal for it.
00:58:45Right. Shipping is not in the final breakdown,
00:58:50but Kansas and Nebraska, that's not really going to break the bank.
00:58:53Okay, well, let's go.
00:58:54Okay.
00:58:55Bye.
00:58:56Bye.
00:58:57Bye.
00:58:58But Kansas and Nebraska, that's not really going to break the bank.
00:59:01Okay, well, look at the price breakdown and get back to me.
00:59:04All right.
00:59:07High love of my life.
00:59:09That call went a little longer than expected.
00:59:11Let me just change my shirt and I'll be ready.
00:59:13Who are you talking to?
00:59:14That was a dentist in Lincoln who needs new equipment.
00:59:18We're still very much in the negotiating phase,
00:59:20but I think it might go through, and if we get this commission,
00:59:23it might mean that we could actually pay for tonight's dinner.
00:59:29I need to get dressed, too.
00:59:42How long have we been married?
00:59:45All right.
00:59:48Is this a test?
00:59:49Let's pretend it is.
00:59:50Okay.
00:59:51We've been married ten years,
00:59:55three hours and 42 minutes on the dot.
01:00:01I remember every second of that day.
01:00:03Do you?
01:00:05I remember what's important.
01:00:09You.
01:00:12When did you first know that you loved me?
01:00:15It wasn't just one moment.
01:00:17It was all the moments.
01:00:20Like when you found me on the beach after my mom passed.
01:00:25And you just let me cry and listened to me.
01:00:30Made me feel seen.
01:00:33Also when I used to stare at you and watch you from my bedroom window.
01:00:36I thought you were the cutest guy I'd ever seen.
01:00:38That's not creepy at all, but that is my favorite part.
01:00:42When you look at me, I feel safe.
01:00:48I'm so sorry. I thought I'd turn that off.
01:00:51Hey, do you ever think about going into practice?
01:00:54What do you mean?
01:00:55You worked hard for your degree. Do you ever think about using it?
01:00:59Online MBA? I don't think a lot of people call that working hard.
01:01:02It's time consuming, certainly.
01:01:05And before you say anything, no.
01:01:08I don't think about Duke anymore. I don't think about being a doctor.
01:01:12I just don't. I gave that up a long time ago.
01:01:16But, I mean, sports medicine was always your dream.
01:01:19I don't think that ship has sailed, though.
01:01:22And I'm on an even better ship with you and the girls.
01:01:25But if you'd gone to Duke...
01:01:27Look, everyone makes sacrifices in life.
01:01:30And that was mine.
01:01:32And I'm happy with it.
01:01:36Are you happy?
01:01:37Yes. Do you not believe me?
01:01:40No, I do. I mean, I want to.
01:01:45But be honest. If you could be a team doctor,
01:01:49would you want to do that? Be honest.
01:02:00Lolly.
01:02:01Lolly.
01:02:02Lolly, wake up!
01:02:04Lolly!
01:02:06Lolly!
01:02:07Lolly, you have to wake up now!
01:02:11Lolly.
01:02:13Lolly?
01:02:14Lolly!
01:02:15Lolly!
01:02:18Ingrid?
01:02:19I'm sorry to wake you up like this, but it's your father.
01:02:31Hey, Daphne, I'm here.
01:02:32Okay, okay.
01:02:33What's going on?
01:02:34Okay, okay. Dad is in the ICU. He's being treated by Dr. Bishop.
01:02:36They told me to wait here and they'll send someone to give me an update.
01:02:38Do we have any more information on his condition?
01:02:40They said it was some sort of stroke, but I don't have any more details.
01:02:43He's gonna be okay, right?
01:02:44Yes, he is.
01:02:45Hey, how did he get to the hospital?
01:02:50Rory.
01:02:53Hi.
01:02:54Hi.
01:02:55These are for you all.
01:02:56Oh, thank you, dear.
01:02:57What do you know?
01:02:58Well, it's still very early.
01:03:00Okay.
01:03:01But I found him at the eatery and I noticed that he was in sort of a foggy state
01:03:05and that the left side of his face was starting to droop.
01:03:08Stroke?
01:03:09Yes, most likely ischemic is going to be the diagnosis.
01:03:12The good news is that we got him into the ER under three hours from the onset of symptoms,
01:03:16which is kind of the ideal window.
01:03:18So he's getting treated right now.
01:03:21I'm gonna go check the nurse's station again.
01:03:22Okay.
01:03:23Here, let me see.
01:03:24Let me know what they say.
01:03:25Of course.
01:03:32Okay, give it to me straight.
01:03:34What are we looking at here?
01:03:36Well, Marty is not gonna be back to his old self anytime soon.
01:03:40I think the stroke really messed with his motor skills.
01:03:43What about his language?
01:03:45No, mainly just balance and walking.
01:03:46Okay.
01:03:47So physical therapy is gonna be a big part of his recovery.
01:03:50Of course.
01:03:51And, blolly, there's no way that he's going back in the kitchen at the eatery anytime soon.
01:03:57This is the least of my concerns.
01:04:00This feels like deja vu.
01:04:01This is the hospital Mom was at.
01:04:05Oh, I really don't want to go through that again.
01:04:11You're a lot stronger than you think.
01:04:13I sure hope you're right.
01:04:16Wait, why did you go back to the eatery after we walked home?
01:04:20I left my phone on the table.
01:04:24Are you kidding me?
01:04:25Something so simple could end up saving Dad.
01:04:28Yeah.
01:04:29My forgetfulness finally came in handy, huh?
01:04:34Molly, the doctor said that we can see him now.
01:04:38Come on.
01:04:41Here.
01:04:46I can't tell you how wonderful it is to see my girls.
01:04:50Well, I'm so glad you're okay, Dad.
01:04:53Don't scare us like that again, okay?
01:04:55I'll do my best.
01:04:56You're gonna have to take it easy.
01:04:59It's not my usual speed.
01:05:00Yeah, look where that got you.
01:05:03Things are gonna look a little bit different for everyone.
01:05:07I promise I'll do what needs to be done.
01:05:10That means we're gonna have to close the diner, at least temporarily.
01:05:14Temporarily?
01:05:27Oh, gosh.
01:05:29There's so much to do.
01:05:31Okay, this is the folder from the hospital.
01:05:33It's gonna outline every step of the process.
01:05:35There's so many steps.
01:05:37I have to get the house ready.
01:05:38I have to pick up his meds.
01:05:40Oh, I gotta find him a physical therapist ASAP.
01:05:42Step one.
01:05:44Breathe.
01:05:49Step two.
01:05:50I know this is gonna be difficult for you.
01:05:51You need to get some rest.
01:05:53Alright?
01:05:54The next couple days are gonna require a lot of energy,
01:05:56and you're not gonna do Marty any good if you're wiped out.
01:05:58I'll try.
01:05:59I'm gonna help you get everything in order.
01:06:02Okay.
01:06:16Hey, where's Daphne?
01:06:18Upstairs.
01:06:19Can I interest you in some chamomile tea?
01:06:21Yeah, that'd be lovely.
01:06:23So I take it that last drop took you to a life you really didn't want to leave.
01:06:29How'd you know?
01:06:30Because it took me forever to wake you up from it.
01:06:32Where'd you go?
01:06:34To Rory.
01:06:35If we'd never broken up, if he'd never gone to Duke.
01:06:38And how was it?
01:06:39Well, at first it seemed perfect.
01:06:41But then?
01:06:42I could see that he wasn't pursuing his dreams,
01:06:44and I feel like I took that from him.
01:06:46His choices are his choices, even in the other realities.
01:06:49Are all of these possibilities, do they come with trade-offs?
01:06:52Like you can have this, but you can't have that?
01:06:54Oh, honey, that's not the drops.
01:06:56That's life.
01:06:58I have one drop left.
01:07:00Should I use it?
01:07:02Choose one of those other paths?
01:07:03I can't tell you what to do.
01:07:06But remember, if you choose to take the last drop,
01:07:09that becomes your permanent reality.
01:07:12There are no more lemon drops.
01:07:16Is it bad to choose a path that's good for me,
01:07:19but maybe not the best for someone else?
01:07:22How do you mean?
01:07:24I mean, just seeing my life with Rory.
01:07:27Seeing the love that we had.
01:07:29I mean, it wasn't perfect.
01:07:31God, it felt good to have love like that.
01:07:34I really missed him.
01:07:36Well, that sounds like something you should say to Rory.
01:07:41I mean, so much has changed, right?
01:07:43We're different people now.
01:07:44What if he doesn't feel the same?
01:07:46I mean, with a lemon drop, it's guaranteed love.
01:07:48It's guaranteed family.
01:07:51How can I pass that up?
01:07:53You have some thinking to do, Lolly.
01:07:57And a very important decision to make.
01:08:11What do you think of the name?
01:08:12Oh my gosh, I love it!
01:08:13I have to admit, Rory came up with it.
01:08:15This is definitely taking things to the next level.
01:08:17I have a lot of fun doing it and, you know,
01:08:20got a lot of free time while the eatery's closed.
01:08:22How long do you think it'll be closed?
01:08:24I don't know.
01:08:25I keep racking my brain,
01:08:26just figuring out how Daphne and I can save this place for Dad,
01:08:29and I just...
01:08:32I think I'm gonna have to let it go.
01:08:35I happen to have a friend who's a commercial real estate agent.
01:08:38You can get an appraisal for the property,
01:08:41if you're interested.
01:08:45Yeah. Yeah. Thanks.
01:08:47Okay.
01:08:51Perfect.
01:08:56Yeah. Peach lilac. Definitely my favorite.
01:08:59Well, I think that's your sixth.
01:09:01That's seventh, but no one's counting.
01:09:03I'll make you some more, okay?
01:09:04No, please don't.
01:09:05You have too much on your plate right now.
01:09:07I don't need any more.
01:09:08Are you kidding me? It's the least I can do.
01:09:09This has been such a huge help.
01:09:13What's that?
01:09:14That is the cabin that I'm closing on in the Boundary Waters.
01:09:18My realtor keeps sending me these random photos
01:09:20just to make sure that I don't back out.
01:09:22Don't you dare. It's beautiful.
01:09:24You've always wanted a house up there.
01:09:26I don't see who's gonna love it.
01:09:28I mean, it's definitely our happy place.
01:09:32I can't wait to get her up there.
01:09:34I just need to get it dialed in before she comes back from Europe.
01:09:37When's that?
01:09:38Three weeks.
01:09:39So I'll go up at the end of the month
01:09:40and then stay until the hockey season starts.
01:09:44That's really soon.
01:09:47Time is a way of flying by up here.
01:09:50So we were looking next for a physical therapist.
01:09:54Right, so I compiled a list of all the physical therapists
01:09:57that are under your insurance.
01:09:59I think you have a couple of good options here.
01:10:01Wait, is there anyone named Ramona?
01:10:03Ramona.
01:10:05Um, I don't know.
01:10:08Oh, yes.
01:10:10Let's go with her. I have a gut feeling.
01:10:12Okay, we will go with Ramona.
01:10:15Ramona.
01:10:18Ramona.
01:10:26How are you feeling, Dad?
01:10:27Well, half of me feels like the other half isn't pulling his own weight.
01:10:31Look at that.
01:10:32Plant your dark sense of humor is still intact, I see.
01:10:35Got me through the food in the hospital and the rehab clinic.
01:10:38I can't wait to get into the kitchen and cook up some real meals.
01:10:43You know, the kitchen's been closed for two weeks now, Dad.
01:10:46Which is longer than the eatery has ever been closed before.
01:10:49And you have a very long road of recovery and physical therapy ahead of you,
01:10:53and we don't have the finances to bring on another cook.
01:10:56Look, I know you don't want to hear this.
01:10:58No, I don't.
01:11:03I already know what you're going to say.
01:11:07And you're right.
01:11:09I've been fighting it a long time.
01:11:13Can't believe I lost Irene's legacy.
01:11:16Hey, no, Dad. You didn't lose it.
01:11:18You just need something different now.
01:11:20Mom would understand. I'm sure of it.
01:11:23How can you be so sure?
01:11:25Mom was a wise woman.
01:11:27She wouldn't want you killing yourself to keep it open just for her.
01:11:30I mean, would you want her to keep the diner open just for you?
01:11:33No.
01:11:35I'd want her to be happy.
01:11:38Okay.
01:11:40We can let it go.
01:11:42Okay, Dad.
01:11:45And you know what?
01:11:47We're going to throw a huge celebration for you and Mom.
01:11:50Champagne, cook up all that cod, invite all your friends.
01:11:54What do you think?
01:11:57I'd like that.
01:12:02I don't know what I'm going to do with all that free time.
01:12:05Oh, I'll get it.
01:12:07First, you're going to have physical therapy.
01:12:09Just give it a chance.
01:12:11You might end up liking it more than you think.
01:12:13I tried it in the hospital. I tried it in the rehab center.
01:12:16Everyone, this is Ramona.
01:12:19Which means you must be Martin.
01:12:21Marty. People call me Marty.
01:12:23Very nice to meet you, Marty.
01:12:25Are you ready to get started?
01:12:27Looking forward to it.
01:12:30So, what do you think? Are you going to make it permanent?
01:12:33I don't know.
01:12:35Adopting a dog is like a pretty big deal.
01:12:37I don't know.
01:12:39I don't know.
01:12:41I don't know.
01:12:43I don't know.
01:12:45I don't know.
01:12:47I don't know.
01:12:49I don't know.
01:12:51I don't know.
01:12:53I don't know.
01:12:55I don't know.
01:12:57Adopting a dog is like a pretty big decision.
01:13:01It does feel kind of meant to be, doesn't it?
01:13:03Your parents had a hunch.
01:13:05I don't want to give them the satisfaction of knowing that,
01:13:07but yes, they knew exactly what it would take to get me out of my shell.
01:13:14It's going to be weird not having you at the farewell party.
01:13:17Yeah, I know. I wish I could be there.
01:13:20So, what time are you hitting the road?
01:13:228 a.m.
01:13:24I'm going to get up there while it's still light.
01:13:26I figured it's the first day in the cabin.
01:13:28I should probably put a line in the water.
01:13:30Well, catch a big old walleye for me.
01:13:39I'm going to miss you.
01:13:45Yeah, I'm going to miss you too.
01:13:49Being back here in Lakeville has been very meaningful to me,
01:13:53and that has to do almost entirely because of you.
01:13:57I just wish...
01:14:00I wish you could come with me.
01:14:04Yeah, I do too.
01:14:06But I can't, and it's not because I'm too scared.
01:14:10The timing isn't right.
01:14:12Well, what if we make the timing right?
01:14:15Doesn't it feel like the universe has kind of brought us back together again?
01:14:18Don't you want to see how that's going to turn out?
01:14:22I can see a future with us together.
01:14:26But, like you said, you have to be there for Samantha.
01:14:30She needs your full attention right now.
01:14:33Plus, I've got to get my business going and help Dad get back on his feet.
01:14:36But this is for the best.
01:14:40This kind of feels like deja vu, doesn't it?
01:14:43Except...
01:14:45we're making the mature decision.
01:14:49Right.
01:14:53Okay.
01:14:55Come on, buddy.
01:15:00Hey, Rory.
01:15:02Yeah?
01:15:03Don't be a stranger, okay?
01:15:06I won't.
01:15:09Hey, Rory.
01:15:11Yeah?
01:15:12Don't be a stranger, okay?
01:15:15I won't.
01:15:22Come on.
01:15:23You gotta go.
01:15:38It's good to see you.
01:15:40This is for you, Lolly.
01:15:42Thank you, honey.
01:15:43You're welcome.
01:15:44Hey, how are you?
01:15:46Can I pour some for you over here?
01:15:47Did you get one?
01:15:49Okay, good.
01:15:52There's more pie on the counter.
01:15:54Speech.
01:15:56Speech.
01:15:57Yeah, say something. Come on.
01:15:59Well, thank you everyone for being here with us to celebrate the eatery.
01:16:0560 years ago, our grandparents started this restaurant.
01:16:10They came here as immigrants with the hope that they could bring people together over good food.
01:16:16I think they succeeded.
01:16:18We've had a lot of really special moments and good memories.
01:16:23I think that is the true legacy of the eatery.
01:16:26So, let's raise our glass to the eatery and all that she's done for us over the years.
01:16:32Cheers!
01:16:35Cheers!
01:16:45Hey, you okay?
01:16:47Yeah, I just got some news and I don't exactly know what to do.
01:16:51Good news?
01:16:53I was accepted into that yoga instructor academy in Bali.
01:16:56They just sent me the registration. It starts in October.
01:17:00Wow, congratulations!
01:17:02Maybe I should decline.
01:17:04What? Why?
01:17:05Well, you know, things are so different now than when I first applied.
01:17:08You know, with Dad's situation, you're gonna need some help, right?
01:17:12You should go.
01:17:14You hated the idea.
01:17:16I hate the idea of you being so far away.
01:17:19But it's your dream.
01:17:21And take it from someone who knows a thing or two about putting your dreams on the back burner.
01:17:24And I'm telling you, it's not worth it.
01:17:27And what about Dad?
01:17:30I think Dad's gonna be just fine.
01:17:33Was he flirting?
01:17:35I sure hope so.
01:17:38You sure you're gonna be okay?
01:17:41Promise. Go.
01:17:43Find your bliss.
01:17:45Find my bliss?
01:17:47Ask Anchor. She'll explain.
01:17:50Find my bliss? Okay.
01:17:59I'm really proud of you, Lolly.
01:18:01You know, it's a really scary thing for anyone to ship their career,
01:18:04but if anyone can do it, I know it's you.
01:18:07I really do think Lolly's Pops is the answer for me.
01:18:10It fulfills everything that I wanted from toast,
01:18:12and everything my grandparents wanted from the eatery,
01:18:14which is just to make people happy through food.
01:18:17Hey, girl. It's from Rory.
01:18:24Well? Open it.
01:18:32Intriguing.
01:18:36Lolly, I saw this, and I thought of you.
01:18:39You have always made the best of every situation you're in,
01:18:42and I admire you more than you could know.
01:18:44I wish you the best, and so much more.
01:18:47Love always, Rory.
01:19:01Um...
01:19:05Excuse me, ladies.
01:19:10Well, I'm gonna read the note.
01:19:12Yeah, obviously.
01:19:17Rory gave this to me.
01:19:20It's beautiful.
01:19:23This is my fourth lemon drop.
01:19:26It's the only reality I want.
01:19:28I don't need another one.
01:19:30I mean, I love the idea of toast,
01:19:32but not at the expense of my relationships.
01:19:36And as much as I know,
01:19:38we would love Mom to be here still.
01:19:41I know she wouldn't want it if it meant that we lost Dad.
01:19:44I agree.
01:19:47And Rory?
01:19:51As tempting as that life was.
01:19:55Be selfish of me to take away his life's passion.
01:19:57That's not real love.
01:19:59Well, I can't say I'm surprised.
01:20:02I didn't use the last drop.
01:20:05Well, your mother refused to even try them.
01:20:08My mom knew about the drops.
01:20:10She was with me the night I got them.
01:20:13The four you had were hers.
01:20:16She gave them back to me because she said
01:20:18this is the only life she ever wanted,
01:20:22with all its perfect imperfections.
01:20:26So I held on to the drops
01:20:28in case either of you girls should ever need them.
01:20:31Daphne seemed to have a grip on where she was headed,
01:20:34but you, my dear,
01:20:36took after your Aunt Gert.
01:20:40Thank you for helping me, C.
01:20:43You're not done yet.
01:20:45What do you mean?
01:20:47Your father's on his path.
01:20:49Daphne's about to embark on hers.
01:20:51You know what you don't want.
01:20:53Now it's time for you to find your bliss.
01:21:15We're not going to throw the ball.
01:21:16We're going fishing.
01:21:18We're just going fishing today.
01:21:19We're not going to go with the ball.
01:21:21I tell you what, you want to go?
01:21:23There we go.
01:21:25That should take a while.
01:21:34Hey, stranger.
01:21:40You're here.
01:21:42I am.
01:21:44You're not a hologram.
01:21:45I'm not a hologram,
01:21:46and I don't have to take a nap.
01:21:48I'm not going to live that down, am I?
01:21:51How did you find me?
01:21:52I asked your parents.
01:21:54Okay.
01:21:55Wow, you weren't kidding.
01:21:56This is incredible.
01:21:58Yeah.
01:22:00I've got to say, I am a little confused
01:22:02because I thought that we were maybe
01:22:04taking this time to focus on our own lives.
01:22:07No, that hasn't changed.
01:22:09And I know Sam's going to be here soon,
01:22:10and she is still your priority,
01:22:12but I did just drive seven hours to tell you this,
01:22:15and I'm going to say what I'm going to say,
01:22:16and then I'll hit the road.
01:22:18I've been doing a lot of thinking
01:22:20about what I want my life to look like,
01:22:23and amongst a lot of different possibilities,
01:22:26one thing I am sure of is I want you in it.
01:22:30Okay.
01:22:31All of you.
01:22:32Your kindness, your generosity,
01:22:34and even your forgetfulness.
01:22:38Wow.
01:22:39I love you, Rory.
01:22:42And you're worth the wait.
01:22:44So when you're ready,
01:22:46I would like to give us a chance,
01:22:48if that's something that you also...
01:22:59Is that a yes?
01:23:02Yeah.
01:23:11No!
01:23:14No!
01:23:19Grab it!
01:23:44Grab it!
