00:00:00With all the complexity in the world, the noise, the pressure, you have to find peace,
00:00:15your source of tranquility.
00:00:18And that is where Blue Cosmos sandals come in.
00:00:22Made from earth-friendly material, it's a win for your feet and the earth.
00:00:28So try on a pair.
00:00:29The opulent comfort will surprise you.
00:00:33Take care of your soul, and your soul will soar.
00:00:37Uh, thank you, Eden.
00:00:42Perhaps we should see how Mr. Grayson feels.
00:00:49You don't understand our product.
00:00:52I think I do.
00:00:54Well, I think you don't.
00:00:56Our customers like that we're simple and ecologically responsible.
00:01:01You have it painted like it's some luxury bed for your feet.
00:01:04Well, I thought comfort would be a key appeal, given the steep price point.
00:01:11We won't be using this.
00:01:13Uh, well, is there another angle you would prefer I try?
00:01:18That's all.
00:01:19And, uh, Mr. Grayson, let me just tell you, we have a...
00:01:2213, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32,
00:01:2631, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 40, 41, 42, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50,
00:01:27I researched and researched and ran surveys and everything, and Grayson is wrong.
00:01:33His customers are buying flip-flops.
00:01:35They want something comfortable on their feet for cheap.
00:01:38Well, I'm glad you didn't tell him this.
00:01:40Why?
00:01:41Don't we want our clients to succeed?
00:01:43We want them to be happy, and we want them to be our clients still.
00:01:48Did they fire us?
00:01:50No.
00:01:51No, I convinced them to stay and to give us a second chance.
00:01:54Okay.
00:01:55Well, good.
00:01:56Look, I'll give them what they think they want.
00:01:58I'm giving it to someone else.
00:02:02Oh.
00:02:03Look, Eden, you're bright and you're hardworking, but lately something's off.
00:02:07You're not connecting with the clients, and it's like you've lost your drive.
00:02:11You used to knock these pitches out of the park with a passion rival, P.T. Barnum.
00:02:14Look, I can try harder.
00:02:15It's not that you don't work hard enough.
00:02:18Maybe you need a change.
00:02:21Are you firing me?
00:02:23No.
00:02:24No, I just...
00:02:27I want you to take a break, though.
00:02:30Take a week or two off, recharge, figure out what you need, and then come back fired up.
00:02:37Uh...
00:02:41Okay.
00:02:45What am I going to do?
00:02:47Enjoy the time off.
00:02:49Sure, and conveniently ignore the fact that my job is on the line.
00:02:53You didn't say that, did you?
00:02:54Michael, when your boss says he doesn't like your work and orders you to take time off,
00:02:59none of that is good.
00:03:01You deserve a good vacation.
00:03:03Like I'll be able to enjoy it while I worry about my career.
00:03:07Take Michael with you.
00:03:09You could come with me.
00:03:11I wish I could.
00:03:12Things at work are crazy right now.
00:03:15Tax season is over.
00:03:16We've had a huge increase in filing extensions for some reason this year, too.
00:03:20I just can't take time off right now.
00:03:22Speaking of, I should get back to the office.
00:03:24Make sure you get home at some point.
00:03:26I'll call it a night around ten.
00:03:27I'm sorry.
00:03:29Thanks for dinner.
00:03:30Sure.
00:03:31See you, Michael.
00:03:32Goodnight, Kate. Bye, honey.
00:03:33Goodnight.
00:03:34Okay, you should go somewhere.
00:03:36I can keep an eye on things here, you know, grab your mail and all that.
00:03:39Great.
00:03:40Well, what are good neighbors for?
00:03:42I don't even know where I would go.
00:03:45What about somewhere where you can just clear your head?
00:03:50There is one place I can think of.
00:03:55Hey, are you busy next week?
00:03:57Other than hair appointments?
00:03:59No.
00:04:00We can get someone else to pick up the mail.
00:04:03Okay, where are we going?
00:04:05Huh.
00:04:11I've never been to Lake Tahoe before.
00:04:13You'll love it.
00:04:35This is your family's summer home?
00:04:38Yeah, it was my grandparents' place and they willed it to my parents.
00:04:42We'd spend every summer here growing up.
00:04:45I loved it.
00:04:46My parents renovated it a couple years ago.
00:04:48But no one lives here right now.
00:04:50Not year-round.
00:04:51I called my mom and she said we could come and dust it off.
00:05:05Feel free to call me to dust this place off anytime.
00:05:08I know.
00:05:09I barely recognize it.
00:05:11I don't think I've been here since before my freshman year in college.
00:05:15Wow, has it been that long?
00:05:17Do your parents come here often?
00:05:19Uh, not as much as they used to.
00:05:21I think they rent it out here and there.
00:05:27Hey, uh, who's that?
00:05:30Uh...
00:05:33I don't know.
00:05:35No one else should be here.
00:05:43Uh, excuse me, can I ask what...
00:05:47Riley?
00:05:50Eden.
00:05:55It's great to see you.
00:05:57Yeah, you too.
00:05:59I wasn't expecting you here.
00:06:01Well, I noticed there was a problem with one of the sprinkler lines
00:06:04and I wasn't getting enough water to the area
00:06:06so I thought I'd come over and see if I could fix it.
00:06:08Well, that's nice of you. Thanks.
00:06:10Uh, hi, I'm Kate, Eden's friend.
00:06:12Hi, Riley.
00:06:13Oh, yeah, Riley's parents own the cabin next door
00:06:17so we would see each other every summer.
00:06:19Oh.
00:06:20So, uh, what brings you here?
00:06:22Uh, well, I needed a break.
00:06:26Kind of a forced vacation.
00:06:28The cabin was available, so I went for it.
00:06:30Uh, what about you?
00:06:32Uh, you're living here?
00:06:34Uh, well, Dad got tired of the winters
00:06:36so he moved to Arizona
00:06:38and I took over the cabin, started a business.
00:06:40That's great.
00:06:42Uh, what kind of business?
00:06:43Hot air balloons.
00:06:45You sell them?
00:06:47No, no, I, uh, do hot air balloon rides around here.
00:06:50Oh, well, that's certainly different.
00:06:52It's a work in progress.
00:06:55Well, I'll, uh, I'll let you get settled.
00:06:59It was great to see you.
00:07:01Yeah, you too.
00:07:03It was nice to meet you, Kate.
00:07:05And, uh, sorry about the, uh...
00:07:07Oh, no, that's, that's fine.
00:07:08Thank you for doing that.
00:07:09No, no problem.
00:07:10I'll just, uh, be a few more minutes here of the...
00:07:13Thanks.
00:07:15Yeah, well, I'll, uh, I'll see you around.
00:07:17Yeah.
00:07:18Okay.
00:07:21See ya.
00:07:24We need to get groceries tomorrow.
00:07:26Sounds good.
00:07:28So, Riley seems nice.
00:07:30Did you see him a lot here?
00:07:31I did.
00:07:33I don't even remember how we became friends.
00:07:35I think it was convenience.
00:07:37He was next door when we came here in the summer
00:07:39and he became my default friend.
00:07:41Only a friend?
00:07:43Yeah, why do you ask?
00:07:45Just a vibe I got.
00:07:47Oh, that was years ago.
00:07:49He was the reason I looked forward to coming to Tahoe
00:07:52in my teenage years, but that's history.
00:07:54Oh, it's Michael.
00:07:57Hi!
00:07:58Hey, did you and Kate make it all right?
00:08:00We did.
00:08:01Hi, Michael.
00:08:02Hi.
00:08:03So, how is it?
00:08:04Uh, so far, so good.
00:08:06Good.
00:08:07Hey, I hate to ask you so soon,
00:08:09but when do you think you're coming back?
00:08:11Ah, miss me already?
00:08:13I certainly do.
00:08:14Hmph.
00:08:15Hmph.
00:08:38Morning, Spencer.
00:08:39Hey.
00:08:40Yeah, the valves on this are good to go.
00:08:42Minor adjustments, but it's solid.
00:08:44Good, good, thanks.
00:08:46Any new reservations?
00:08:48No, no messages anyway.
00:08:50All right.
00:08:51But we do have that one later this week, so...
00:08:54Yeah.
00:08:56Hey, things will get better.
00:08:58Of course.
00:09:14Oh.
00:09:38The water is gorgeous!
00:09:40Isn't it?
00:09:42Lucky you, coming here each year.
00:09:44I'm surprised you stayed away.
00:09:46Well, it wasn't on purpose.
00:09:48Just work, life, you know.
00:09:50How are you feeling about work?
00:09:52Uh, conflicted.
00:09:54How so?
00:09:55Uh, part of me feels...
00:09:57What's the word?
00:09:59Annoyed that they're questioning my work?
00:10:02And the other part?
00:10:04Uh, I know it wasn't my best work.
00:10:07Lately, I care, but I don't enjoy it.
00:10:11I don't know, maybe I'm...
00:10:13Maybe I'm relieved.
00:10:15I thought you liked it there.
00:10:17I don't know.
00:10:19I didn't even really think about it until Reese benched me.
00:10:22Well, it'll be fine when you get back after you have had time to recharge.
00:10:26But it's not my decision.
00:10:29Reese seems supportive about me coming back,
00:10:32but only if I'm back on my game.
00:10:34Ugh.
00:10:36It makes me appreciate what I do.
00:10:38You know, someone comes in, you cut their hair, done.
00:10:41Yeah, but you're good at it.
00:10:43And you're good at marketing.
00:10:45Am I?
00:10:46It's something that I chose when I was in college,
00:10:48and I just went with it.
00:10:50Sometimes I wonder what else I could have tried.
00:10:54I don't know, maybe I'm just overthinking it.
00:10:57Why can't work just be work?
00:10:59Well, it depends on what you want from it.
00:11:01You know, a simple paycheck?
00:11:03Or do you want some fulfillment?
00:11:05That's the real question, isn't it?
00:11:08Come on, let's go try the water.
00:11:10Okay.
00:11:20You don't have to have your life all figured out right now.
00:11:23It feels like I should have something figured out though, right?
00:11:26You have Michael.
00:11:28Yeah, of course, but career is a big part too.
00:11:32Oh, hey, there's this place you need to see around the corner.
00:11:35Mr. Weber's store. You'll love it.
00:11:38This was my favorite hangout spot in town.
00:11:42I'd always get the milkshake.
00:11:44That sounds really good right now.
00:11:46Yeah.
00:11:47Hello!
00:11:48Mr. Weber!
00:11:50There's a familiar face, Eden Clark.
00:11:53That's right.
00:11:54You're finally back.
00:11:55Oh, just for a little bit.
00:11:57You know, I haven't seen your family for years.
00:12:00Not since your grandpa died.
00:12:02How are your parents?
00:12:04They're good.
00:12:05I don't make it out here much, though, anymore.
00:12:07And, uh, who's this?
00:12:09This is Kate. I'm showing her Tahoe.
00:12:12And I was just telling her that this was my favorite place.
00:12:14Well, thank you.
00:12:16It's a pleasure to meet you, Kate.
00:12:17You too.
00:12:19Go ahead and order something.
00:12:21Of course, I know what she likes.
00:12:22Chocolate brownie milkshake.
00:12:24Oh, that's because of the homemade brownies you put in it.
00:12:27Yeah.
00:12:28And how about you, Kate?
00:12:29Um, I'll try your cookie dough shake.
00:12:33Ah, sensible choice.
00:12:35Why don't you go ahead and go in there and have a seat,
00:12:38and I'll bring your order out.
00:12:39Okay.
00:12:40Okay?
00:12:42Thanks.
00:12:49How much is this one?
00:12:50This one's 15.
00:12:51Mr. Weber's place was the hangout for all the kids.
00:12:55I think he associated me with my grandparents.
00:12:58It didn't matter that I was a summer visitor.
00:13:00You know, he treated me like a local.
00:13:03Like family.
00:13:04I like him.
00:13:05And his cookie dough wasn't bad either.
00:13:06I told ya.
00:13:08Hey, is this too much for the two of us?
00:13:11Nah, it should be fine.
00:13:12Ah, but you know what we still need?
00:13:14What?
00:13:15Onions and peppers.
00:13:17Oh, over there.
00:13:18I'll grab some.
00:13:19Okay.
00:13:32Thought you didn't like salad.
00:13:34Ah, well, that's when I was 12.
00:13:37It's not so bad now.
00:13:38Ah, I see.
00:13:39You, uh, still love bananas?
00:13:42Allergic now.
00:13:43No.
00:13:44Yeah, it was a sad day when I had to give those up.
00:13:46Oh, I'm sorry.
00:13:49What have you been up to?
00:13:50Today?
00:13:51Oh, let's see.
00:13:52Uh, I was just fixing up some stuff around the warehouse.
00:13:54Leaky pipe, flickering lights, that sort of thing.
00:13:58And then, uh, this afternoon was quiet, business-wise.
00:14:02And so here I am, stocking up my kitchen.
00:14:05I didn't know you were a fix-it type of guy.
00:14:07Oh, yeah.
00:14:08Just, uh, call me Mr. Do-It-Yourself.
00:14:11Helps keep costs down.
00:14:13You know, I was surprised that you're still living here.
00:14:15I'd have thought when you were old enough
00:14:17you'd leave and conquer the world.
00:14:19Well, in fairness, I did leave
00:14:21and try a slice of life somewhere else,
00:14:23but then I came back.
00:14:25Well, I'm happy to see you again.
00:14:29Uh, how long are you in town?
00:14:31Uh, a few weeks.
00:14:33It's a bit fluid.
00:14:34Right, so you'll, uh, relax,
00:14:36read a book, swim, shop.
00:14:39That all sounds perfect.
00:14:41Oh, and hiking.
00:14:43You know what you have to do while you're here?
00:14:45What?
00:14:46You gotta go to our spot.
00:14:47Our spot?
00:14:48The Overlook.
00:14:50Oh.
00:14:52We should go together.
00:14:54And you can show your friend, too.
00:14:56I'm sure she'd love it.
00:14:57What do you think?
00:14:59Let's do it.
00:15:05So what's so special about this Overlook?
00:15:07Well, uh, we'd go there every summer.
00:15:10It was tradition.
00:15:13And Riley and me.
00:15:15Oh.
00:15:16So you'd just hike there?
00:15:18It's a really pretty hike.
00:15:21And?
00:15:23And...
00:15:25it's where we had our first kiss.
00:15:30Wait, what?
00:15:38We'd hike up here a couple times
00:15:40each summer you visited, didn't we?
00:15:42At least.
00:15:43The view must really be good.
00:15:45Well, it depended how noisy it got,
00:15:47as Eden's mom and grandma argued.
00:15:49They always fought about who would cook each night,
00:15:53what they would make, and how.
00:15:55Like your mom does when she visits you.
00:15:57Don't remind me.
00:15:59Hey, uh, how much further?
00:16:01My feet are...
00:16:03Well, I didn't really bring the best shoes
00:16:05for off-road activities.
00:16:07Well, we're almost there.
00:16:08Okay.
00:16:12Eden, Kate, come on.
00:16:18Ow.
00:16:20I need to get out more.
00:16:22How are your feet?
00:16:24Forgotten.
00:16:26Worth it?
00:16:28Just as I remembered.
00:16:37Kate, what do you do?
00:16:39Uh, I'm a hairstylist.
00:16:41That sounds fancy.
00:16:43I cut and style hair.
00:16:45It's really not.
00:16:47But hot air balloons sound amazing.
00:16:49That's what you do, right?
00:16:51Yeah.
00:16:53That must do well here.
00:16:55I mean, what a great view of the lake, right?
00:16:57Well, it's, uh, you'd think,
00:16:59but it's been a bit of a slow start.
00:17:01You know, it's a little pricey,
00:17:03so it's difficult for the casual
00:17:05or budget-minded tourist.
00:17:07But it's Tahoe.
00:17:09People come here and hike like we did
00:17:11and see the view.
00:17:13Maybe that's enough.
00:17:15You don't believe that, do you?
00:17:17It's a hot air balloon.
00:17:19It's unique.
00:17:21Yeah, well,
00:17:23I can only run tours early in the morning
00:17:25or in the early evening if I'm lucky.
00:17:27So I'm starting to think
00:17:29maybe I should get another job to live on
00:17:31while I keep this as a side job.
00:17:33Well, why don't you add more tours?
00:17:35Well, the temperature affects how well we can rise,
00:17:37and then there's the wind, which picks up throughout the day.
00:17:39That's tricky.
00:17:41Yeah.
00:17:43It is fun, though.
00:17:45You both should come see it for yourselves.
00:17:47You mean in the air?
00:17:49Yeah.
00:17:51That'd be fun.
00:18:01Job listing sites
00:18:03are just scary.
00:18:06Why are you looking at those?
00:18:08Just in case.
00:18:10But you weren't fired.
00:18:12Look at this one.
00:18:14This job description is a full page.
00:18:16I'm gonna need a special degree to understand what they're saying.
00:18:18Probably not for you, then.
00:18:20What if I get fired?
00:18:22Then I have to go out there, find a job,
00:18:24interviewing. I hate all that.
00:18:26Okay, I thought you were supposed to be decompressing here.
00:18:28I'm not stressing about what-ifs.
00:18:30It's time to eat anyway.
00:18:32Well, thanks.
00:18:34This looks good.
00:18:36Okay.
00:18:40Okay, so, what do you want to do tomorrow?
00:18:42What do you want to do?
00:18:44There's this insanely overpriced spa.
00:18:46Maybe a massage?
00:18:48No, thanks.
00:18:50Why not? It'd help you relax.
00:18:52I'm not really into those.
00:18:54But you should go ahead.
00:18:56Nah, I'll save that for another day.
00:18:58Oh, what about that hot air balloon thing?
00:19:00Riley did text me about a last-minute tour tomorrow morning.
00:19:02He said there's room if you want to go.
00:19:04Want to?
00:19:06Yeah, it'd be fun.
00:19:08Okay, cheers.
00:19:30Looking good.
00:19:32Yep.
00:19:34Our group's late, though.
00:19:36Even so, here comes the important part.
00:19:38You ready for this?
00:19:40I am.
00:19:42You?
00:19:44I'm a little nervous.
00:19:46Welcome. Good morning.
00:19:48You guys get up this early for every one of these tours?
00:19:50Yeah.
00:19:52I'm a little nervous.
00:19:54I'm a little nervous.
00:19:56I'm a little nervous.
00:19:58You guys get up this early for every one of these tours?
00:20:00You two ready for this?
00:20:02I guess so.
00:20:04Where's the rest of the group?
00:20:06Good question.
00:20:08Excuse me.
00:20:10Hello, Hot Air Tahoe.
00:20:12Hey!
00:20:14I'm Spencer. I work for Riley.
00:20:16Hi, Eden. Kate.
00:20:18So what sort of fuel do you get for this to fly?
00:20:20Like a rocket fuel?
00:20:22Just propane.
00:20:24You're kidding.
00:20:26This is the stuff we use to grill.
00:20:28Yeah, the very same.
00:20:30Who would have thought?
00:20:32Okay. Okay, bye now.
00:20:34Well, some of our group are sick,
00:20:36so I rescheduled them for later in the week.
00:20:38Oh, come on.
00:20:40Well, maybe we can go another time.
00:20:42Nonsense. We're all set up here.
00:20:44Let's hop in.
00:20:46So who flies this?
00:20:48I do.
00:20:50You? Don't you need a license?
00:20:52I got one.
00:20:56You gonna open your eyes at all?
00:20:58Uh, how far off the ground are we?
00:21:00Why don't you take a look for yourself?
00:21:02Just give me a number.
00:21:0425?
00:21:06Feet?
00:21:08More like yards, but it's not that high.
00:21:10You two okay?
00:21:12Sure.
00:21:14Yeah, speak for yourself.
00:21:16Just relax and enjoy the view.
00:21:18Is it safe up here?
00:21:20As long as I do what I'm supposed to.
00:21:22Are you?
00:21:24I haven't crashed anything yet,
00:21:26but I'm sure it's safe up here.
00:21:28I don't think so.
00:21:30I don't think so.
00:21:32I don't think so.
00:21:34I don't think so.
00:21:36I don't think so.
00:21:38Are you?
00:21:40I haven't crashed anything yet.
00:21:42Well, what about the wind? You said that the wind...
00:21:44Okay, okay, are you trying to make me more nervous?
00:21:46I was just curious.
00:21:48I checked the expected weather conditions and we are fine.
00:21:50Expected?
00:21:56Look how free we are!
00:21:58Yeah, it's great!
00:22:00You aren't kidding.
00:22:02What do you see of the lake?
00:22:04Are you like steering us over there?
00:22:06I'm doing my best, yeah.
00:22:12You really know how to fly this.
00:22:14Yeah, let's hope so.
00:22:16Got my pilot's license.
00:22:18I was flying regional commuter jets.
00:22:20Really?
00:22:22You surprised?
00:22:24Well, you always said you wanted to fly,
00:22:26but we were kids.
00:22:28Things change.
00:22:30That's true.
00:22:32I got to the point where I
00:22:34never really felt like anywhere was home.
00:22:36I was always in the air, detached from my life.
00:22:40I've been happiest here.
00:22:44What do you think?
00:22:48All these years coming here, I've...
00:22:54I have fond memories of this place,
00:22:56but this?
00:22:58This is the best.
00:23:00Well, then you're going to love this.
00:23:04Hey, Kate, hang on.
00:23:06What? Are we flying?
00:23:10Oh, wow.
00:23:22And this is the less impressive side
00:23:24of my little company.
00:23:26Here, I can help.
00:23:28I've just set them down over there.
00:23:30How long have you been in business?
00:23:32What's your favorite part about it?
00:23:36Floating in the balloon
00:23:38just above the lake's surface.
00:23:40I don't think there's anything more peaceful.
00:23:42It's pure serenity.
00:23:46What's the worst part about it?
00:23:48Making a living at it.
00:23:50And I'll feel better once it takes off.
00:23:52No pun intended.
00:23:54You know, I can help with that.
00:23:56With what?
00:23:58Well, I work in marketing,
00:24:00and it sounds like you need more customers.
00:24:02And this experience is amazing.
00:24:04It should nearly sell itself
00:24:06if enough people try it out.
00:24:08But you're here on vacation.
00:24:10I could use an opportunity
00:24:12to sharpen up my skills.
00:24:14People can't even tell you're here.
00:24:16Well, most people just call,
00:24:18so I give them directions.
00:24:20But you're on Main Street,
00:24:22and there's lots of traffic.
00:24:24This building can be an advertisement.
00:24:26Sounds expensive.
00:24:28This place can work for you.
00:24:30I just don't know if it'll make a difference.
00:24:32Well, what have you done, advertising-wise?
00:24:34You know, poster here and there
00:24:36around town, and I have a website, too.
00:24:38We can do more
00:24:40if you'll let me help.
00:24:42You sure you want to get into this?
00:24:44I want to help you.
00:24:46All right.
00:24:48Sure.
00:24:50Okay.
00:24:58Thanks so much for relaxing.
00:25:00It almost pains me, though.
00:25:02I can see he can do more
00:25:04and make his business succeed.
00:25:06How can I ignore that?
00:25:08I guess you really do like marketing.
00:25:10I just want him to succeed.
00:25:12Okay, so how do you plan to help?
00:25:14Well, for starters,
00:25:16he could use some more photos
00:25:18and video on his website,
00:25:20especially of that view
00:25:22and the balloon launching.
00:25:24I bet we can get some more
00:25:26I bet we can get some
00:25:28social media buzz going, too,
00:25:30with some simple ads.
00:25:32I know he's nervous about spending a lot,
00:25:34but I know some easy stuff
00:25:36that will get the ball rolling.
00:25:38I think that's perfect.
00:25:40He definitely needs a sign
00:25:42for his warehouse.
00:25:46Is that going to be enough, though?
00:25:48You know how you always see
00:25:50a gazillion tour brochures
00:25:52when you stay at a hotel?
00:25:54He doesn't plan out activities for their stay.
00:25:56We just need to get them to see
00:25:58Riley's Hot Air Tahoe.
00:26:10I so owe you.
00:26:12No, you don't.
00:26:14Yes, I do. This is amazing.
00:26:16Well, I'm glad you like it.
00:26:18You can still make changes.
00:26:20I didn't want to put in a big order
00:26:22Perfect. Let's print it.
00:26:24Great.
00:26:26And then let me take you out to dinner.
00:26:28Riley, you don't...
00:26:30No, I'm serious.
00:26:32Thank you. Dinner's the least I can do.
00:26:36So,
00:26:38you never told me why you're
00:26:40taking a break from work.
00:26:42Oh, that.
00:26:44Unless you don't want to talk about it.
00:26:46Oh, no, it's not horrible or anything,
00:26:48but my boss told me
00:26:50to take some time off so I can come back
00:26:52and be better at my job.
00:26:54Ouch.
00:26:56Sorry you asked.
00:26:58From what I've seen, you're great at your job.
00:27:00I used to be.
00:27:02I think that this was easier
00:27:04because the stakes were
00:27:06more important than, say,
00:27:08selling sandals.
00:27:10Well, hot air balloons are a lot cooler than sandals,
00:27:12so I get it.
00:27:14Do you like marketing?
00:27:16I thought I did.
00:27:18You told me that flying airplanes
00:27:20lost its appeal for you.
00:27:22I guess we all change.
00:27:24Maybe.
00:27:26You haven't changed as much as I would have thought.
00:27:28No?
00:27:30No. I still see the same girl
00:27:32next door.
00:27:34The same girl that would steal my shoes off the porch
00:27:36if I left them out.
00:27:38That's because you stuff snails in mine.
00:27:40You're always a bit mischievous.
00:27:42And you always got me back.
00:27:44I couldn't let you in.
00:27:47I remember my dad was
00:27:49crazy angry at you for something.
00:27:51What was it?
00:27:53You burned his entire collection of baseball cards.
00:27:55I thought they were yours.
00:27:57Besides, you had drawn
00:27:59on my face with marker when I was
00:28:01camping in the backyard.
00:28:03Yeah, well, that was pretty good.
00:28:05You know, I was always
00:28:07scared that your dad would come after me
00:28:09for burning those.
00:28:11He never did confront me about it.
00:28:13Well, it's because I told him I did it.
00:28:16What?
00:28:18Why?
00:28:20Well, I didn't want you to get in trouble.
00:28:22Plus, I was kind of impressed.
00:28:24He really one-upped me.
00:28:26Well, I guess I should be grateful.
00:28:30Do you ever wonder
00:28:32when it was that we started to grow up?
00:28:36When you stopped coming to Tahoe.
00:28:40Yeah.
00:28:42And here you go. Oh, thank you.
00:28:44Thanks.
00:28:50Thank you for dinner.
00:28:52My pleasure.
00:28:54But I still owe you.
00:28:56Have you been by Mr. Weber's? Of course.
00:28:58You know, he still remembers
00:29:00my favorite milkshake flavor.
00:29:02Mine too. Bananas Foster.
00:29:04Oh, you're allergic.
00:29:06I keep having to remind him so he doesn't
00:29:08get offended when I turn it down.
00:29:10You want to go see him?
00:29:12Here's your Banana Foster
00:29:14for my chocolate brownie if he unknowingly insists.
00:29:16Deal.
00:29:20You two have made my day.
00:29:24It's just like old times.
00:29:26You work too hard.
00:29:28Don't you have anyone to help?
00:29:30I got a couple of kids that come in
00:29:32and work a shift now and then,
00:29:34but this is my pride and joy.
00:29:36And here's your Bananas Foster.
00:29:38I'm always trying to get Mr. Weber
00:29:40to take a vacation.
00:29:42Vacation?
00:29:44Where would I go that's better than this?
00:29:46Seeing you two
00:29:48back together again.
00:29:50That's the cherry on top.
00:29:52Excuse me.
00:29:54Thanks for the milkshakes.
00:29:56Sure.
00:30:00Thanks.
00:30:02I wouldn't want you to have an allergic shock here.
00:30:04Well, it's more like I break out in hives,
00:30:06but still not fun.
00:30:08So, no more bananas,
00:30:10no more Bananas Foster,
00:30:12you're not an airline pilot.
00:30:14What else has changed?
00:30:16I'm a terrible businessman,
00:30:18apparently.
00:30:20You just need some marketing tips, that's all.
00:30:22That's a very nice way of putting it.
00:30:24What else has changed?
00:30:26I don't know.
00:30:28Maybe I'm the same at heart.
00:30:32Have you ever been married?
00:30:34Nope.
00:30:36I had a girlfriend.
00:30:38A few actually, but one
00:30:40wanted to get married
00:30:42and then I realized
00:30:44well, I didn't love her.
00:30:46So...
00:30:48What about you?
00:30:52Never married.
00:30:56Do you remember when we used to sneak out to the lake at night?
00:30:58Yeah.
00:31:00The last night of our trip.
00:31:02And we'd go to the dock
00:31:04and lay out and watch the stars.
00:31:06Talk about...
00:31:08What we wanted.
00:31:10What worried us.
00:31:12Anything that was on our minds.
00:31:14First day at school or parents fighting.
00:31:16Gossipy friends back home.
00:31:18Yeah.
00:31:20I remember
00:31:22on more than one occasion,
00:31:24you wished you could stay in Tahoe
00:31:26forever.
00:31:28Me too.
00:31:30I miss those talks.
00:31:32Me too.
00:31:38Hey Kate, you ready?
00:31:40Yes.
00:31:42Do you want me to grab you a drink?
00:31:44Oh, I just filled up my water bottle. I'm good.
00:31:46Oh hey, how was your dinner with Riley?
00:31:48It was good.
00:31:50Kind of seemed like a date.
00:31:52No, no. It's not like that.
00:31:54No, was it ever? I mean, you two seemed close.
00:31:56There were a lot of summers.
00:31:58I mean, sure.
00:32:00We liked each other, but
00:32:02we never dated.
00:32:04Really, it was just when we were teens
00:32:06and when we were younger, you know,
00:32:08playing on the swing sets and monkey bars.
00:32:10Okay, just wondering.
00:32:14Oh, it's Riley.
00:32:16Oh, what's he want?
00:32:18He wants to know what we're doing today.
00:32:20Do you want to invite him along?
00:32:22Sure, I'll text him back.
00:32:30You know the problem with living here?
00:32:32What?
00:32:34You never take enough time to
00:32:36appreciate how great everything is.
00:32:38True. It's like going to the beach back home.
00:32:40You never do.
00:32:42Yep.
00:32:44Because it's always there.
00:32:46Well, I'll have to make sure you appreciate this while you're here.
00:32:48Okay.
00:33:00You got sunblock on your face.
00:33:02You bet I do.
00:33:04Oh, you have a smudge of it on your cheek.
00:33:06Oh.
00:33:10Should I get that?
00:33:12No.
00:33:14I'll be right back.
00:33:18Okay.
00:33:30Hey, honey.
00:33:32Hi. Sorry I missed your call.
00:33:34I was on the water.
00:33:36The water, huh? Are you and Kate having fun?
00:33:38Yeah, we are.
00:33:40All play and no work.
00:33:42Actually, um,
00:33:44there's a little bit of work.
00:33:46I'm helping out a neighbor
00:33:48with promoting his business.
00:33:52Can you explain something to me?
00:33:54I'll do my best.
00:33:56I grew up in the same house my whole
00:33:58childhood, and even now I don't
00:34:00live far from it, but
00:34:02I can't tell you the names
00:34:04of more than three kids I knew back then.
00:34:06So what's your question?
00:34:08Why are you and Eden so close?
00:34:12I don't know if we still are.
00:34:14We were when she was here.
00:34:16Maybe it's...
00:34:18There was this one year
00:34:20when we were maybe 12, 13
00:34:22at the most, and for her
00:34:24coming here was a summer vacation
00:34:26trip, something to look forward to.
00:34:28So she shows up,
00:34:30goes straight to the beach, stays out all day,
00:34:32and was a lobster by night.
00:34:34Is that why she lathers
00:34:36on the sunscreen like crazy?
00:34:38Yeah. Her skin burned until she blistered.
00:34:40Oh.
00:34:42And her mom forbade her from going outside
00:34:44for the rest of the week.
00:34:46I didn't want her to be bored, so
00:34:48I brought her treats,
00:34:50ice packs and games
00:34:52and milkshakes for
00:34:54Mr. Webbers.
00:34:56And I kept her company.
00:34:58And honestly,
00:35:00it was one of my favorite summers.
00:35:02Whether that's
00:35:04the reason we're close or not, I don't know.
00:35:08She was always a good friend.
00:35:12Well, I've got good news.
00:35:14Oh, yeah? Yeah.
00:35:16My boss came to me today and he told me I'm being recognized
00:35:18internally at the firm. That's great.
00:35:20Recognized how?
00:35:22Well, the annual company dinner's coming up
00:35:24and they always give out awards and whatnot.
00:35:26Well, this year I get one, along with a nice
00:35:28little bonus. That's amazing.
00:35:30You so deserve
00:35:32that. Congratulations.
00:35:34The dinner's at the end of next week. Do you think you can make it?
00:35:36Of course.
00:35:38You and Kate will be back from your trip by then?
00:35:40Yes, we are.
00:35:42I'm so proud of you. Thanks.
00:35:44I miss you.
00:35:46I miss you, too.
00:35:48All right. Have fun at the lake. I will.
00:35:50Bye. Bye.
00:36:02Thanks for inviting me.
00:36:04I'm glad you could come.
00:36:06I'll see you tomorrow?
00:36:08I'll drop by with the flyers from the coffee shop.
00:36:10Sounds good. Okay. Bye.
00:36:12Bye.
00:36:14So,
00:36:16Riley's nice?
00:36:18Yeah.
00:36:20Is he dating anyone?
00:36:22Not that he mentioned.
00:36:24Does he know you're dating Michael?
00:36:26Uh, he...
00:36:28doesn't matter. We're just friends.
00:36:30So, it's...
00:36:32your relationship's just simple nostalgia?
00:36:34Mm-hmm.
00:36:36What's Michael, then?
00:36:38Uh, he's...
00:36:40wonderful, supportive,
00:36:42grown-up.
00:36:44Don't you think?
00:36:46Yeah. Yeah. I agree.
00:36:48Then,
00:36:50what's the problem?
00:36:52Nothing.
00:36:54Okay. Let's just enjoy
00:36:56the trip here.
00:36:58Okay.
00:37:00So,
00:37:02your feelings for Michael
00:37:04aren't changing?
00:37:06Correct.
00:37:08And your feelings for Riley?
00:37:20You're getting really serious about this, huh?
00:37:22Yeah, let's hope so.
00:37:24Here are addresses of places where you can leave the flyers.
00:37:26Mention my name if they look at you funny,
00:37:28but I've talked to all of them.
00:37:30And if you have friends with businesses,
00:37:32just ask them about putting one up in a window.
00:37:34My cousin runs a bakery.
00:37:36Best donuts. Right.
00:37:38Perfect. So, we all have our lists.
00:37:40So...
00:37:42Let's get going. Okay.
00:37:48Here. This is a good one.
00:37:50Thanks. Enjoy.
00:37:58Thanks for letting me put this up.
00:38:00Have a nice day. You too.
00:38:30You beat me here.
00:38:32Well, I figured Mr. Weber
00:38:34would be very supportive.
00:38:36He says you owe him.
00:38:38So, you finished then?
00:38:40Yep. You?
00:38:42Pretty much.
00:38:44I wonder how long it's going to take for us to see if this is working.
00:38:46I do have some online ads scheduled to start running.
00:38:48I should probably check on those stats.
00:38:50Oh, calm down. It'll be fine.
00:38:52I haven't been this anxious
00:38:54about an ad campaign's performance in a long time.
00:38:56I doubt that.
00:38:58Chris, I want this to go well for you.
00:39:00Well, relax.
00:39:02The rest is out of your hands.
00:39:04In fact,
00:39:06maybe it's time you
00:39:08stop thinking about work.
00:39:10Any work.
00:39:12How?
00:39:14Oh,
00:39:28just like old times.
00:39:30Yep.
00:39:36I love the sunset over the lake.
00:39:38Yeah, don't get that back home, huh?
00:39:40No.
00:39:42Sometimes I come down here
00:39:44by myself, but
00:39:46it's not the same.
00:39:48It's probably quieter.
00:39:50Quiet's overrated.
00:39:52Never gets this quiet back home.
00:39:54You could always
00:39:56come back here.
00:39:58I guess so.
00:40:00I should come back here more often.
00:40:02I've missed this.
00:40:04Me too.
00:40:06Did you ever think about
00:40:08the last time you were here?
00:40:10Yeah.
00:40:12We went on that gondola?
00:40:14Yeah.
00:40:16I remember.
00:40:18My stomach didn't like it.
00:40:20Yeah, I was worried about that with the hot air balloon ride.
00:40:22I wasn't sure if it was a heights thing.
00:40:24It was more of a
00:40:26rockin' back and forth thing.
00:40:28Oh.
00:40:30And then afterwards we went on that hike.
00:40:32To our favorite spot.
00:40:34It was overcast that day,
00:40:36but I was determined to go.
00:40:38I really wanted to
00:40:40see how you felt about me.
00:40:42We kissed.
00:40:46I thought about that
00:40:48for a while.
00:40:50Me too.
00:40:52And then I went home
00:40:54and I wrote you a letter.
00:40:56You did?
00:40:58Yeah.
00:41:00Well, I never sent it.
00:41:02But I thought about you.
00:41:04What did the letter say?
00:41:06Oh, you know.
00:41:08Come on, tell me.
00:41:10Uh, I wrote
00:41:12that I
00:41:14wish that
00:41:16I lived here and not so far away
00:41:20so that I could see you more.
00:41:24And that I missed you.
00:41:30I've missed you too.
00:41:36You almost kissed him?
00:41:38Does that make me a horrible person?
00:41:40No, of course not,
00:41:42but you do need to come clean.
00:41:44What?
00:41:46Why?
00:41:48Because he deserves to know.
00:41:50Do you mean Riley or Michael?
00:41:52Both.
00:41:54I'm with Michael,
00:41:56and Riley is...
00:41:58What? What is he?
00:42:00A nice memory.
00:42:02It can't be.
00:42:04A nice memory.
00:42:06It can't lead anywhere.
00:42:08Do you want it to?
00:42:10You don't know what you want.
00:42:12I didn't say that.
00:42:14And that's fine,
00:42:16but you can't move forward
00:42:18unless you let go of Riley or Michael.
00:42:20I...
00:42:24I don't have anything figured out,
00:42:26and I'm more confused than when I got here,
00:42:28and I still don't know what's going on with my job,
00:42:30and I...
00:42:32No, you're not.
00:42:34But if you don't figure it out, you will be.
00:42:44Hey.
00:42:46Oh, hey, Mr. Weber called for you.
00:42:48He did?
00:42:50Yeah, he said it was an urgent freezer emergency,
00:42:52and he was calling in a favor.
00:42:54I've got things here under control
00:42:56if you want to go and see him.
00:42:58All right.
00:43:02Hey, Mr. Weber.
00:43:04Riley.
00:43:06Oh, this ice cream mix is no good.
00:43:08It's... it's more like soup.
00:43:10And the freezer won't freeze.
00:43:12Okay, uh, when did the freezer quit?
00:43:14Well, I came in this morning to try it out,
00:43:16and all I got was this...
00:43:18this runny, soupy mess.
00:43:20Well, let me see what I can find.
00:43:26Well, it's drawing power,
00:43:28so...
00:43:30might be something with the compressor
00:43:32or maybe the wiring somewhere else.
00:43:34I hope I don't have to replace the whole thing.
00:43:36I replaced the stove two years ago.
00:43:38I'll do my best.
00:43:40Oh, no pressure on you, Riley.
00:43:42I'm talking to myself.
00:43:44I'm just glad you could come out today.
00:43:46Happy to.
00:43:48I... I...
00:43:50I didn't interrupt your day too much, did I?
00:43:52No, quiet morning.
00:43:54Really?
00:43:56With all those flyers out there,
00:43:58is it good for you?
00:44:00Not yet.
00:44:02Well, you better enjoy the quiet times,
00:44:04because later on it's going to pick up
00:44:06and you're going to be wishing for them.
00:44:08Thanks.
00:44:10So, um, have you seen much of your neighbor lately?
00:44:12Oh, we've been spending some time together.
00:44:14You ought to take her on a proper date.
00:44:16I mean, all I hear
00:44:18is people hanging out together,
00:44:20and I never knew
00:44:22where that saying came from.
00:44:24It's like a bunch of monkeys
00:44:26hanging from a tree.
00:44:28Well, it's less risky that way.
00:44:30Nothing risked,
00:44:32nothing gained.
00:44:34I always thought you two suited.
00:44:36Well, we never really took that step.
00:44:38Our lives went in different directions.
00:44:40And ended up
00:44:42right back here.
00:44:44Well, for now, it's temporary.
00:44:46Well,
00:44:48you better get with it.
00:44:52You fixed it!
00:44:54Is that what it usually sounds like?
00:44:56Yeah.
00:44:58Okay, then.
00:45:00Hey, Kate?
00:45:06Gone for that massage.
00:45:08I'll be back in time for dinner.
00:45:10Kate.
00:45:18Reese,
00:45:20what do you want
00:45:22on my forced time off?
00:45:26I hope you're enjoying
00:45:28your break. Could use your perspective
00:45:30on a project when you get a moment.
00:45:32Looking forward to having you
00:45:34back.
00:45:46Eden, hi.
00:45:48Hi. Am I interrupting?
00:45:50I have a few minutes.
00:45:52How are you?
00:45:54I'm okay.
00:45:56Uh-oh.
00:45:58I guess it's good.
00:46:00Reese just emailed me.
00:46:02Sounds like he wants me back.
00:46:04Fantastic.
00:46:06So are you coming back sooner?
00:46:08I'm trying to decide.
00:46:10It's been nice out here.
00:46:12Oh, I bet.
00:46:14Tahoe sounds like a great place.
00:46:16Hey, I say take whatever time you need.
00:46:18But don't forget about my company dinner.
00:46:20Right.
00:46:22No problem. I'll be back for it.
00:46:24Thanks.
00:46:26Hey, and great news about Reese. I knew it would all work out.
00:46:28Yeah. It's good.
00:46:30I'll talk to you later.
00:46:32Thanks for calling.
00:46:34Okay, bye.
00:46:38I need to get out.
00:46:48Huh.
00:46:50When did we get these?
00:47:00Thanks for coming with me.
00:47:02Happy to.
00:47:04I don't know when my parents got these.
00:47:06This wasn't really a thing when we were kids.
00:47:08You're making us sound old.
00:47:10Well, I thought it was neat.
00:47:12And I figured we're here, so might as well try it.
00:47:14Well, I'm glad you're here.
00:47:16I think once you try this, you're going to get addicted.
00:47:18You're never going to want to go home.
00:47:20Speaking of home,
00:47:22I got an email from my boss today.
00:47:24And?
00:47:26Well, uh,
00:47:28he wanted my input on some things.
00:47:30Isn't that good?
00:47:32Yeah.
00:47:34I guess it is good.
00:47:36It's good to be missed.
00:47:38I'm finding I don't miss it at all.
00:47:40Maybe you should consider
00:47:42a career change.
00:47:44That's too scary.
00:47:46I did it. So could you.
00:47:48We're still flying.
00:47:50You could still market.
00:47:52But is that what you want to do?
00:47:56It's not that I don't like marketing.
00:47:58There's a thrill in it sometimes.
00:48:00Like a pride in it.
00:48:02How so?
00:48:04When I figure out
00:48:06the best way to make something great.
00:48:08Like a puzzle that I put together.
00:48:10You do like marketing.
00:48:12I think I miss it.
00:48:14So what's wrong?
00:48:16Is it what you're working on?
00:48:18I think it's easier to work on something
00:48:20you believe in.
00:48:22That could be it.
00:48:24I don't know.
00:48:26I wish I had more time to figure it out.
00:48:28So tell your boss you're not ready.
00:48:32And risk him rethinking
00:48:34and firing me?
00:48:36It's not fair.
00:48:38And firing me
00:48:40if I'm not even sure?
00:48:42So you don't want to let go of one branch
00:48:44without having a grip on another one.
00:48:46Exactly.
00:48:48Well,
00:48:50the way I see it,
00:48:52you have three options.
00:48:54I do?
00:48:56First one,
00:48:58go back to your old
00:49:00unexciting job.
00:49:02Next option, please.
00:49:04Second, come work for me
00:49:06as a poorly paid marketer.
00:49:08Hey, I'm all for you sticking around.
00:49:12Can't blame you for trying.
00:49:14Uh...
00:49:16The third option?
00:49:18Do nothing.
00:49:20Just take your time.
00:49:22You don't have to make a decision now
00:49:24or even next week.
00:49:26I do have to make a choice eventually.
00:49:28But when you're ready.
00:49:30Maybe after you've even had time to
00:49:32discover some new options.
00:49:36You know, if this hot air balloon
00:49:38thing doesn't work, you could be a
00:49:40career advisor.
00:49:42Let's hope it doesn't come to that.
00:49:44Should we do this?
00:49:46Yep.
00:49:52Okay, I think I got this.
00:49:54Oh.
00:49:58Now use your order to move yourself around.
00:50:00Okay.
00:50:06This is cool.
00:50:08Right?
00:50:10Yeah.
00:50:12So what's your secret?
00:50:14Trust yourself.
00:50:16Gee, thanks.
00:50:18And tighten your stomach.
00:50:20Supposedly it helps with balance.
00:50:22Okay.
00:50:26So let me guess,
00:50:28every other weekend.
00:50:54Hey.
00:50:56What are you doing out here?
00:50:58Nothing.
00:51:00Really?
00:51:02I'm just thinking.
00:51:04About?
00:51:06If I tell you, you're just gonna lecture me.
00:51:08I don't do that.
00:51:12Okay, seriously.
00:51:14I won't do that. I promise.
00:51:18Riley kind of insinuated
00:51:20that he wants me
00:51:22to stay here.
00:51:24Wow.
00:51:26Cutsy.
00:51:28Is that even tempting?
00:51:32It is.
00:51:34It shouldn't be
00:51:36though, right? I have a life
00:51:38back home and a job.
00:51:40Sort of.
00:51:42And what he's saying is a huge change.
00:51:44And not just
00:51:46for job and home, but
00:51:48relationship-wise too.
00:51:50I know. It's crazy.
00:51:52And Michael is...
00:51:54Amazing. Supportive.
00:51:56Stable. Exactly.
00:52:00Why would I let that go?
00:52:02Riley was talking
00:52:04about what I should do for work
00:52:06and he said I don't have to
00:52:08make a decision. Maybe that's
00:52:10the same for here.
00:52:14Maybe I just need to put this aside
00:52:16and enjoy the rest of my
00:52:18time here.
00:52:20It sounds like good advice
00:52:22but you still need
00:52:24to be careful not to hurt one of them.
00:52:26Or yourself.
00:52:28Okay?
00:52:30Okay.
00:52:38And the cards
00:52:40expiration date?
00:52:42Alright, you're all set for Monday. Party at five.
00:52:44Sure thing.
00:52:46Alright, I'll see you then.
00:52:48Party at five?
00:52:50The phone has not stopped ringing all morning.
00:52:52We have every single day booked for the next two weeks.
00:52:54Are you serious?
00:52:56That's amazing!
00:52:58Your friend has really got things rolling here.
00:53:00I'm gonna go get things prepped
00:53:02for tomorrow's tour.
00:53:08Hot air towel. Can I help you?
00:53:12Let me check.
00:53:18So,
00:53:20guess how many calls I got?
00:53:22How many?
00:53:2433.
00:53:26No, actually it was more than that. I lost count.
00:53:28I haven't had to answer the phone that often
00:53:30ever.
00:53:32But are people booking?
00:53:34Yeah, that's the crazy thing.
00:53:36I'm starting to wonder if we need to raise prices.
00:53:38You probably could but maybe wait a bit.
00:53:40I don't want this to be an initial rush
00:53:42with no continued traffic from customers.
00:53:44Look at you, talking all business.
00:53:46Have you set up appointment booking online?
00:53:48I asked Spencer to,
00:53:50six months ago.
00:53:52It's not going well.
00:53:54I'm gonna send you a link for a site that handles that.
00:53:56It's very affordable
00:53:58and it saves you time so you don't have to spend the day on the phone.
00:54:00Excellent.
00:54:02So what are you working on?
00:54:04Web ads.
00:54:06What do you think?
00:54:08It looks...
00:54:10What?
00:54:12Legitimate.
00:54:14Well good, because you are.
00:54:16I feel professional
00:54:18and I'm not even doing any work. You are.
00:54:20And I'm gonna give you options
00:54:22that way you don't have to use the same ad all the time.
00:54:24What for?
00:54:26To change it up for seasons,
00:54:28holidays, stuff like that.
00:54:30Got it.
00:54:32Okay.
00:54:34And there you go.
00:54:36I don't know what I'm gonna do without you.
00:54:38Oh, I think you'll do fine.
00:54:40I'd rather not find out.
00:54:42Any chance you'll stay?
00:54:46You can get anyone
00:54:48to help you with this.
00:54:50And don't worry,
00:54:52it's not like your business will lose out.
00:54:54Well,
00:54:56it's not my business I'm worried about losing.
00:55:02Um,
00:55:04so what are your plans
00:55:06for the rest of your stay?
00:55:12I've got clients coming out of nowhere
00:55:14trying to get on my schedule.
00:55:16I'm gonna have to work ten hours a day when I get back.
00:55:18It's good to be in demand, right?
00:55:20I guess.
00:55:22I'm still dreading it.
00:55:24Me too.
00:55:26When's your next appointment?
00:55:28Monday.
00:55:30Are you going back to work then too?
00:55:32I'm still figuring it out.
00:55:42Just a few more things to load up
00:55:44and we should be all set.
00:55:46Great.
00:55:48I've got to get to bed early.
00:55:50I've been used to sleeping in.
00:55:52I'd say I'm sorry,
00:55:54but no sleep means working a paycheck.
00:55:56I'll take it.
00:55:58Eden mentioned we should do something
00:56:00to encourage customers to leave reviews.
00:56:02Yeah, like a follow-up email or something?
00:56:04Or we could give away a free T-shirt
00:56:06for every good review.
00:56:08I don't think bribery is the way to go.
00:56:10I'll have to ask for some ideas on that.
00:56:12Is she staying?
00:56:14I'd like her to, but...
00:56:16But what?
00:56:18Too early to tell.
00:56:20Are you two dating?
00:56:22Too early to tell.
00:56:24All right.
00:56:26Sounds like you've got a lot to clear up.
00:56:28I'm just gonna finish loading up.
00:56:30Thanks, Spencer.
00:56:44These are beautiful.
00:56:46Here.
00:56:48Here you go.
00:56:50Great.
00:57:02This is just about done.
00:57:04Great.
00:57:10Oh, I'll get it.
00:57:16Michael!
00:57:18Eden.
00:57:24So, I was thinking about your call
00:57:26and seeing you and about Tahoe,
00:57:28and it dawned on me,
00:57:30why not come for the weekend at least?
00:57:32I'm glad to see you.
00:57:34Riley!
00:57:36Michael!
00:57:38Oh, hi, Kate.
00:57:42Uh, Riley.
00:57:44Uh, this is Michael.
00:57:46My boyfriend.
00:57:48Hi.
00:57:52Good to meet you.
00:57:54Nice flowers.
00:57:56Oh, yeah, they're for Eden.
00:57:58And Kate, as a thank you
00:58:00for helping with my business.
00:58:02Oh, you're the neighbor that Eden's been helping out.
00:58:04Uh, I guess so.
00:58:06Uh, you didn't have to do that.
00:58:08Oh, I know, but...
00:58:12Yeah.
00:58:14Um, dinner's ready.
00:58:16Oh, great. I'm starving.
00:58:18Oh, nice tan.
00:58:20Thanks.
00:58:24I just wanted to drop those off.
00:58:26Riley, I didn't know that...
00:58:28The response to the flyers and everything has been great.
00:58:30You've been getting a lot of business.
00:58:34Riley.
00:58:36You have company.
00:58:40Good night, Eden.
00:58:42Night.
00:59:02Good night.
00:59:20Uh, I'll be right back.
00:59:22Okay.
00:59:28You were right.
00:59:30I'm sorry.
00:59:32I don't like being right.
00:59:34At least not with this.
00:59:36Should I tell Michael about Riley?
00:59:38Um...
00:59:40I think you could.
00:59:42I don't want to hurt him, too.
00:59:44I think he would understand.
00:59:48But...
00:59:50It's more urgent you talk to Riley.
01:00:00Okay.
01:00:14I'm sorry I didn't tell you about Michael.
01:00:16I didn't mean to keep it from you.
01:00:26It's your life.
01:00:28We're just old friends.
01:00:30You're more than that.
01:00:32But not enough.
01:00:34That's not true.
01:00:38Isn't it?
01:00:40But it's okay.
01:00:42I've really enjoyed seeing you again.
01:00:46Me, too.
01:00:48And my business.
01:00:50I really got a shot now thanks to you.
01:00:54Thanks for letting me help.
01:00:58And...
01:01:00For being my friend.
01:01:14Here you go.
01:01:18Better get that to Riley right away before it melts.
01:01:20Oh, it's not for him.
01:01:22I'm gonna miss these.
01:01:26Are you leaving?
01:01:28Oh, yeah.
01:01:30It's been wonderful, but too bad.
01:01:32It's just temporary.
01:01:34Now, wait a minute.
01:01:36Not everything is temporary.
01:01:38The way you feel here and now,
01:01:40that'll stay with you.
01:01:44Uh, I should let you go.
01:01:48Eden, if you go back,
01:01:50what do you leave behind here now?
01:01:56Thanks, Mr. Weber.
01:02:06So, how are your tax deadlines?
01:02:08Oh, chopping away at them bit by bit.
01:02:10It's nice not to be in the office, though.
01:02:12Got the fresh air and all that.
01:02:14Yeah.
01:02:16Listen, I should go.
01:02:18Yeah.
01:02:20Listen, I should have come sooner.
01:02:22You asked me, and I just made excuses.
01:02:24Well, you're busy. I understand that.
01:02:26Well, I was talking to Kate,
01:02:28and she helped me realize how upsetting
01:02:30the last couple weeks have been for you.
01:02:32Well, I wouldn't say it was upsetting.
01:02:34Nerve-wracking.
01:02:36Either way, I should have been here.
01:02:38Oh.
01:02:40What is it?
01:02:42Oh, it's Reese.
01:02:44He wants to know if I can make it
01:02:46to our little hands-on meeting Tuesday.
01:02:48Wow. He really wants you back.
01:02:50Yeah.
01:02:52He's seen what life's like with you out of the office,
01:02:54and he doesn't like it.
01:02:56I'm so glad this worked for you.
01:02:58Me too.
01:03:04Is that everything?
01:03:06Yep. I double-checked,
01:03:08even under the furniture.
01:03:10You're thorough.
01:03:12Ready?
01:03:14Okay.
01:03:32Hi.
01:03:34Hey.
01:03:38We're leaving.
01:03:40Work and all that.
01:03:42Going back to it, huh?
01:03:44Yeah.
01:03:46I hope it works out.
01:03:48Thanks.
01:03:50Uh, well, I should go.
01:03:52Hey, if you're in town again,
01:03:54you should come by the shop,
01:03:56see if we're following your advice well or not.
01:03:58I definitely will.
01:04:04Goodbye, Riley.
01:04:06Goodbye, Eden.
01:04:12Bye.
01:04:24Hey, you want me to drive?
01:04:26Uh, yeah, sure.
01:04:42Bye.
01:04:44Bye.
01:05:10All right.
01:05:12We're gonna have to divide up assignments here,
01:05:14and we'll get to that.
01:05:16But I want to start with some news.
01:05:18Good news.
01:05:20We have two brand-new clients under contract now.
01:05:22Castle Vacuums and Menfloral Air Fresheners.
01:05:24Right?
01:05:26This is gonna be great for us.
01:05:28They're eager to hit the ground running,
01:05:30so let's get to work ASAP.
01:05:32Bobby, you take Castle Vacuums.
01:05:34Eden, you up for Menfloral?
01:05:36Absolutely.
01:05:38Excellent.
01:05:42Come in.
01:05:46Hey, honey.
01:05:48How was work today?
01:05:50Good.
01:05:52Did you cook?
01:05:54Uh, no. It's a new client product.
01:05:56Menfloral Air Freshener.
01:05:58Menfloral?
01:06:00Yeah, I think it's because it's pure minerals
01:06:02added with floral scents.
01:06:04At first, I thought men meant many,
01:06:06but this isn't that small, so...
01:06:08Interesting.
01:06:10So I wanted to plan out Friday's dinner.
01:06:12What time does it start?
01:06:14Well, for once, I want to be early.
01:06:16So are you okay if I pick you up at 5.30?
01:06:18I'll be ready.
01:06:20What's the dress code?
01:06:22I'm wearing a suit and a new tie.
01:06:24A new tie.
01:06:26Okay.
01:06:28I'll be sure not to embarrass you, then.
01:06:30No, thank you.
01:06:40Hey.
01:06:48Hey.
01:06:50How's it coming together?
01:06:52Good. The market survey I put together
01:06:54comes back tomorrow, so that'll help me
01:06:56fine-tune what I'm going to present.
01:06:58I can't wait to see it.
01:07:00Yeah.
01:07:10Hey.
01:07:32Hey.
01:07:34Hey, Riley. How you doing?
01:07:36Good. I just wanted to check on that freezer.
01:07:38Is it running all right?
01:07:40Ever since you fixed it.
01:07:42It's got a few more years on it now, thanks to you.
01:07:44Good.
01:07:46So what can I get you?
01:07:48Nothing. I was just passing by. I thought I'd check in.
01:07:50Okay. Well, how's that business doing?
01:07:52I see your balloon floating around every morning.
01:07:54Yeah, it's been popular lately.
01:07:56Good, good.
01:07:58So, uh,
01:08:00have you heard from Eden lately?
01:08:02Um, no.
01:08:04No, not since she went back home.
01:08:06I'm sure you know.
01:08:08Yeah.
01:08:10I think she's moved on.
01:08:12And, uh,
01:08:14that's okay.
01:08:16As long as she's happy.
01:08:18You're a good kid, you know that?
01:08:24Are you nervous about the pitch?
01:08:26No, not really.
01:08:28But maybe I should be,
01:08:30because then I'd come across as excited about it.
01:08:32Well, I'll admit,
01:08:34your plans are pretty dull.
01:08:36Yep.
01:08:38Could you ask Reese for a different assignment?
01:08:40Uh, it was either this or vacuums.
01:08:42Oh, wow.
01:08:44Uh-huh. That's fine.
01:08:46It's work, right?
01:08:48Well, you know,
01:08:50you could still make a change.
01:08:52What do you mean?
01:08:54You know, quit your job.
01:08:56I can't.
01:08:58You just,
01:09:00you don't seem happy to be back.
01:09:02And maybe it's not just because of the job.
01:09:12Imagine.
01:09:14You feel a migraine coming on.
01:09:16The weight of the world
01:09:18constantly on your shoulders.
01:09:20But whether you're at work
01:09:22or at home,
01:09:24Minfloral can be
01:09:26a sanctuary and a shield.
01:09:28Let the natural
01:09:30mineral aromas
01:09:32lift your spirits,
01:09:34invigorate your body,
01:09:36ward off
01:09:38the stressors that come at you
01:09:40in every direction.
01:09:42In an array of
01:09:44award-winning and inventive
01:09:46aromas,
01:09:48Minfloral is
01:09:50the element missing
01:09:52to feel stronger
01:09:54and renewed.
01:09:56Minfloral.
01:09:58Mineral ingredients,
01:10:00floral scents,
01:10:02fresher life.
01:10:08I like it.
01:10:10What type of ad campaigns do you see being most effective
01:10:12for Minfloral?
01:10:14Well, the standard for the air freshener industry is
01:10:16print-based, but I think that's outdated.
01:10:18I want to get you
01:10:20on video for the
01:10:22coupon and shopping apps as well as
01:10:24targeted campaigns in the
01:10:26online and broadcast space.
01:10:28Targeted to your demographic,
01:10:30of course.
01:10:32I love it. One question, though.
01:10:34I don't think the hot air balloon fit.
01:10:36Oh.
01:10:44Well, we can
01:10:46leave that part out.
01:10:48I was going for
01:10:50a parallel of open,
01:10:52fresh air.
01:10:54When you're in a
01:10:56hot air balloon.
01:10:58Oh.
01:11:00All ads will get your final approval
01:11:02before we run, so don't worry about anything
01:11:04that seems out of place.
01:11:06Right.
01:11:08If we hurry, we can get this locked in now while ad inventory
01:11:10is high. I think we can negotiate
01:11:12better placements now rather than waiting for too long.
01:11:14That sounds sensible.
01:11:18You had me slightly worried
01:11:20with the hot air balloon thing, but you handled it great.
01:11:22Thanks. There's a lot to do in a short
01:11:24time on Menfloral, but I think you can do it if you're
01:11:26willing to put in some extra time.
01:11:28And then I have a plant fertilizer client
01:11:30that I want to assign you.
01:11:32Plant fertilizer?
01:11:34The landscape and gardening industry's number three company.
01:11:36They're aggressively trying to take the lead.
01:11:38So I'll add that to your accounts.
01:11:42Actually,
01:11:46maybe you should give that to someone else.
01:11:48What do you mean?
01:11:50I mean,
01:11:52maybe you should give all my accounts
01:11:54to someone else.
01:12:20Hey.
01:12:34Hey.
01:12:36Hey.
01:12:40I'm so sorry.
01:12:42Today was crazy
01:12:44and I totally forgot.
01:12:46I'll be right out.
01:12:48Okay.
01:12:52The freeway's going to be a mess right now,
01:12:54but we can probably make up time on another route.
01:12:56Good.
01:12:58So work was crazy today, huh?
01:13:00Sort of. I quit my job.
01:13:02You quit?
01:13:04You did? Yep.
01:13:06Is everything alright?
01:13:08That's kind of sudden, isn't it?
01:13:10I mean, what are you going to do?
01:13:12I don't know yet, but I wasn't happy.
01:13:14You know, maybe you should
01:13:16think it over. You could talk to Reese on Monday.
01:13:18No, it's fine.
01:13:20Okay.
01:13:22If you say so.
01:13:26I didn't know your job made you so unhappy.
01:13:30I don't think it's just my job, though.
01:13:34What do you mean?
01:13:38All this time.
01:13:40I know.
01:13:42It's hard because I
01:13:44love and care for you so much.
01:13:48I feel the same way about you.
01:13:52I guess we were never really in love with each other.
01:13:54It was comfortable.
01:13:56And we let it go on.
01:13:58Yeah.
01:14:02So when did you figure this out?
01:14:04When I got back.
01:14:08But I guess it started in Tahoe.
01:14:10There was a friend there, Riley.
01:14:14And I realized that
01:14:18what I felt for him
01:14:20was different than how I feel for you.
01:14:22Oh.
01:14:26Are you upset?
01:14:30No.
01:14:34Actually, I know exactly how you feel.
01:14:36There's something I want to tell you, too.
01:14:38You and I started dating,
01:14:40but as it went on,
01:14:42we spent time with each other's friends.
01:14:44A lot of time.
01:14:46While I started to...
01:14:48Kate.
01:14:50Yeah.
01:14:52I couldn't bring myself to tell either of you.
01:14:54I would hate myself if I ever came between you.
01:14:56I get it.
01:14:58I want you
01:15:00and Kate.
01:15:02I want you
01:15:04and Kate
01:15:06to be happy.
01:15:08You do?
01:15:10Definitely.
01:15:14This day has gone very differently
01:15:16than I thought.
01:15:18For me, too.
01:15:20Oh.
01:15:22Your dinner.
01:15:24You know what? Don't worry about it.
01:15:28No.
01:15:30I can still make this.
01:15:32Yes.
01:15:36Oh.
01:15:38Eden, what's going on?
01:15:40Go put on a nice dress.
01:15:42Why?
01:15:44Because you are going to a dinner party
01:15:46in honor of Michael.
01:15:48I am?
01:15:50Yeah.
01:15:52Eden, seriously, what's going on?
01:15:54There's not a lot of time, but to sum it up,
01:15:56Michael and I broke up.
01:15:58And as I think of it
01:16:00more and more,
01:16:02you like him, too.
01:16:04And I couldn't be happier for the both of you.
01:16:06Okay, wait, what?
01:16:08Just think about it.
01:16:10Even in Tahoe, you were worried about me, yes.
01:16:12But you didn't want Michael
01:16:14to get hurt.
01:16:16And you've been such a good friend to me,
01:16:18but I don't want you to miss out on something special with him.
01:16:20And speaking of special,
01:16:22Michael's dinner started about five minutes ago.
01:16:24So what do you say, Kate?
01:16:26Will you come with me?
01:16:28Be my date?
01:16:30Yes.
01:16:34What will you do?
01:16:36I don't know yet. Don't worry about it.
01:16:38Have fun.
01:16:44Eden?
01:16:46Yeah.
01:17:12You all have a nice day.
01:17:14Thanks. Bye.
01:17:16How was it?
01:17:18Oh, fine.
01:17:20No wind, really.
01:17:22Good.
01:17:24I guess they just forgot.
01:17:28Uh, who's that?
01:17:30That's the no-show.
01:17:32Maybe they just got the time wrong.
01:17:38Wait.
01:17:48Did I miss the tour?
01:17:50That was you?
01:17:52I drove as fast as I could to get here.
01:17:54Sorry.
01:17:56You missed it.
01:17:58That's too bad.
01:18:00You know,
01:18:02normally there's no refunds,
01:18:04but, uh,
01:18:06maybe I could take you up for a private tour
01:18:08another day,
01:18:10if you're in town for a while.
01:18:12I am.
01:18:14And I'd like that.
01:18:16Maybe
01:18:18I might give you a good review.
01:18:22I didn't think you were coming back.
01:18:24It's like you said.
01:18:26I needed time
01:18:28to figure it out for myself.
01:18:30And have you?
01:18:36I think so.
01:18:38Good.
01:18:40Because
01:18:42I didn't want to wait another 10 or 15 years
01:18:44to see you again.
01:18:46Me neither.
01:18:52I know.
01:19:06I, uh,
01:19:08had two resorts contact me
01:19:10about running a marketing push for them.
01:19:12Well, I'm not surprised.
01:19:14I think I'm gonna pick one to work on.
01:19:16Good for you.
01:19:18Nice, huh?
01:19:20This whole, uh, working for yourself idea
01:19:22isn't bad.
01:19:24See why I like it?
01:19:26I do.
01:19:28I really do.
01:19:50I do.
