00:00:00All right kids, time to tidy up and get back to class.
00:00:26Don't forget your books that you checked out from Mrs. Jenkins.
00:00:29Okay, bye Matt. Bye Jackson.
00:00:31Lila, see you later.
00:00:33Bye Lila.
00:00:38What's wrong?
00:00:39Bryson won't let me play with him at recess.
00:00:41Why not?
00:00:43I don't know, he's mean.
00:00:45Maybe he's just having a bad day.
00:00:47Have you ever had a bad day that made you cranky with others?
00:00:49My mom says that I do.
00:00:51Well, maybe Bryson just needs some space right now.
00:00:54Why don't you go ask Tristan if you can play?
00:00:57And Lila.
00:00:58But they always play soccer and sometimes my leg hurts when I run.
00:01:01Mine too.
00:01:03But, maybe you can try?
00:01:05And if your leg gets too tired, you can always take a break and cheer on Tristan and Lila.
00:01:09Okay?
00:01:10Okay, thanks Ms. Ashton.
00:01:17Mark and Bryson not getting along again?
00:01:19Yep.
00:01:20Thanks for handling that today.
00:01:22Sure.
00:01:23All the reading charts are copied, I put them in the homework folders back in the class.
00:01:27Perfect.
00:01:28Time for you to go, right?
00:01:30Yeah.
00:01:31See you tomorrow.
00:01:32Thanks.
00:01:47The classroom is its own community.
00:01:49It's your domain, but also your students.
00:01:52How can we foster that sense of community to be a constructive place of learning?
00:01:57Let's discuss the case study on page 17.
00:02:09Well, your expenses have gone up.
00:02:11And the bad news is that it's reduced your profits.
00:02:14But the good news is, your taxes have collapsed.
00:02:22I'll be back after my next class.
00:02:26Math has to be the priority.
00:02:27Not if I can help it.
00:02:28It comes down to literacy.
00:02:30Without it, a student's learning rate is slowed down.
00:02:32True.
00:02:33By 45%.
00:02:34See how the math matters?
00:02:35Yeah.
00:02:36Don't get him started on number books over picture books.
00:02:39I'm sorry.
00:02:40I'm sorry.
00:02:41I'm sorry.
00:02:42I'm sorry.
00:02:43I'm sorry.
00:02:44I'm sorry.
00:02:45I'm sorry.
00:02:46I'm sorry.
00:02:47I'm sorry.
00:02:48I'm sorry.
00:02:49I'm sorry.
00:02:50I'm sorry.
00:02:51I'm sorry.
00:03:02Okay.
00:03:03Miller's taxes are done.
00:03:05Good.
00:03:06Good.
00:03:07How are the Ramsey returns going?
00:03:09I just finished entering all the tax records they gave us.
00:03:13They are missing a 1099 from a bank they had last year.
00:03:16I put a note in their file.
00:03:18You are moving so quickly.
00:03:20everything you're juggling, but you're leaving me in the dust.
00:03:23Oh, Mr. Henry, you keep up just fine.
00:03:25Besides, I feel like this year is lighter than last.
00:03:28That's because all of my clients are getting old like me.
00:03:31And the younger generation don't come looking for an expiring
00:03:35accountant for their taxes.
00:03:37You are not expiring.
00:03:39But the day is.
00:03:41You should go home and get some rest, Ashlyn.
00:03:43I wish.
00:03:44Too much homework.
00:03:46Kids are going to be lucky to have you as a teacher one day,
00:03:49but I sure will miss you when you finish your degree.
00:03:53Don't worry.
00:03:54There's still a while till that happens.
00:03:58Have a good night.
00:03:59You too.
00:04:30Mm-hmm.
00:04:33Miriam, what are you doing here?
00:04:36My size 7 Jimmy Choo shoe box is bigger than this place.
00:04:40That's enough for me.
00:04:42Can I get you something to drink?
00:04:44Oh, something bottled and sparkling.
00:04:47I have tap water.
00:04:48Ew.
00:04:49Then what did you offer?
00:04:52Did you need something?
00:04:54I'm getting married.
00:04:56Congratulations.
00:04:58I need you to come along for the wedding.
00:05:00It's next week.
00:05:03That's kind of quick, isn't it?
00:05:04We've been engaged for months.
00:05:06Didn't you know?
00:05:07You never call or text, so no.
00:05:10Sure I do.
00:05:11No.
00:05:11That's me calling you to wish you a happy birthday
00:05:14or Merry Christmas.
00:05:16Well, anyway, pack a bag.
00:05:17We leave tomorrow.
00:05:19What?
00:05:20Tomorrow?
00:05:21We're having a destination wedding.
00:05:23The Caribbean.
00:05:24Bruce is renting a beautiful villa
00:05:26so our families can spend time together.
00:05:27So you'll come.
00:05:29I have my classes, and I'm interning at the school.
00:05:32Plus, I have work.
00:05:33I can't afford a trip to the Caribbean
00:05:34or anywhere else for that matter.
00:05:36Stop complaining.
00:05:37Think of it as a vacation.
00:05:39You're not listening.
00:05:41I don't have time for a vacation.
00:05:43But you're family.
00:05:45Since when?
00:05:46You're being dramatic.
00:05:47Miriam, you may have married my father,
00:05:49but you have never treated me like family.
00:05:52After your father died, I did the best
00:05:55I could as a widow with two children and you.
00:06:02Still, I can't drop everything for this.
00:06:05Do you know how much tuition costs?
00:06:07I have to work so I'm able to afford it.
00:06:09What have I paid for your tuition?
00:06:12Talk to your professors or whatever.
00:06:15Arrange it so you can take the time off,
00:06:17and I will give you the money you need for your tuition.
00:06:19Why do you need me to go?
00:06:21I mean, I didn't even know that you were engaged.
00:06:24Bruce is a widower.
00:06:26We found common ground about losing a spouse.
00:06:29You came up as we shared our different experiences,
00:06:32so naturally he wants you to meet him and his son.
00:06:36Besides, it'll look strange if you don't come.
00:06:39Ashlyn, wouldn't your father want you to do this for me?
00:06:45Wouldn't he want you to be his wife?
00:06:48Wouldn't he want you to support our family?
00:06:54When does the flight leave?
00:07:02This is Miriam Vanderbilt.
00:07:04Please leave me your information so I can return your call. Ciao.
00:07:08Miriam, I'm here, but I didn't see you or Jerry or Fiona on the plane.
00:07:12I'm not sure where to go.
00:07:15Oh, I just got your message with the address.
00:07:18I guess I'll meet you there.
00:07:45Thank you.
00:07:51About time you showed up.
00:07:53Hello, Fiona. Come on.
00:07:59Beautiful, isn't it?
00:08:01No, don't get all starry-eyed. Mom doesn't want you to embarrass her.
00:08:04She's the one that asked me to come.
00:08:06Well, I'm pleased to see you.
00:08:08I'm glad to see you too.
00:08:10I don't want you to embarrass her.
00:08:12She's the one that asked me to come.
00:08:14Well, I'm planning it all, so don't get in my way.
00:08:16You are?
00:08:17It's my job. Wedding planner.
00:08:19I thought you were a fashion buyer.
00:08:21Ugh. Didn't work out.
00:08:24I didn't think you'd get bored with shopping.
00:08:27So, how long have you been here?
00:08:29About an hour or so.
00:08:30I didn't see you on the flight.
00:08:32Mom, Jerry and I flew first class.
00:08:34Of course.
00:08:36Hey, how did you like your seat though? Picked it out myself.
00:08:39Yeah, yeah.
00:08:41Being by the bathroom in the seat that doesn't recline was great.
00:08:50Oh, there you are, Ashlyn.
00:08:52What took you so long?
00:08:54I didn't know where to go and I thought you'd wait for me.
00:08:57You were left at the airport?
00:08:59Our taxi was full.
00:09:02Ashlyn was a dear to come after us.
00:09:05Especially since she knew how eager I was to see you.
00:09:09Well, I'm so glad we're all here.
00:09:12Ashlyn, I'm Bruce.
00:09:14It's very nice to finally meet.
00:09:16I've heard great things about you.
00:09:18Oh, thank you.
00:09:20It's wonderful to meet you too and congratulations on the engagement.
00:09:25My son Noah is grilling out back, but you should come meet him.
00:09:28Sure.
00:09:29Maybe Ashlyn should put her things away first.
00:09:32Jerry, show her to her room.
00:09:34Good idea.
00:09:35You come on out after you've had a chance to get settled
00:09:38and I'm going to go check and make sure he doesn't burn the meat.
00:09:41Thanks.
00:09:44Help her with her bags, Jerry.
00:09:53Hurry up, Ash.
00:10:00Mom thought you'd feel at home in this room.
00:10:03Thanks.
00:10:05How you been?
00:10:06Busy.
00:10:08Must be sports season.
00:10:10It always is somewhere.
00:10:12How much are you betting now?
00:10:13None of your business.
00:10:15And stop with that judgy tone of yours.
00:10:17And if anyone asks, I'm a sports statistician.
00:10:21That sounds official.
00:10:23I make more than I lose.
00:10:24Sure you do.
00:10:25Mom's fine with it.
00:10:27And Bruce?
00:10:29Bruce is proud I'm a sports statistician.
00:10:35You misspelled statistician.
00:10:41Dinner will be ready soon and the table needs to be set.
00:10:44Get to it.
00:11:00Ah!
00:11:02It's cold.
00:11:04Oh, shush.
00:11:10That one needs to be turned.
00:11:13You second-guessing my grilling?
00:11:15Never.
00:11:16Yeah, sure you're not.
00:11:18I'll tell you what.
00:11:19I'll leave you to turn these as you see fit and I'll go grab a platter.
00:11:23All right.
00:11:30Oh.
00:11:33Hi.
00:11:36Sorry, um...
00:11:40Hi.
00:11:43I'm Noah.
00:11:45Ashlyn.
00:11:47Welcome.
00:11:49Thanks.
00:11:50Um, do you know which table I should set?
00:11:53Uh, I'm guessing the one on the left.
00:11:56Which table I should set?
00:11:57Uh, I'm guessing the one on the patio.
00:12:01Thanks.
00:12:02Do you want some help?
00:12:03Oh, uh, no, that's okay. I can...
00:12:05Here.
00:12:14So you're Miriam's other daughter.
00:12:17Stepdaughter.
00:12:19I don't know if I'll get used to that when my dad gets remarried.
00:12:21The whole, uh, step thing.
00:12:24As an adult, shouldn't change your life too much.
00:12:26I guess you're right.
00:12:28She and your dad got married when you were little, right?
00:12:31Yeah. Yeah, I was nine.
00:12:34Wow, that's tough.
00:12:36I mean, sorry, uh, Miriam told me he passed away after like two years.
00:12:41Yeah, yeah, it was, it was a hard time.
00:12:45At least thankfully you had Miriam.
00:12:49Yeah.
00:12:51Um, what about your mom?
00:12:54She passed away a few years ago.
00:12:57My dad has realized he doesn't want to be alone, so here we are.
00:13:02You and your dad close?
00:13:04Yeah.
00:13:06I was even going to go work for him, but decided I should try to make it on my own.
00:13:10At least at first.
00:13:11What do you do?
00:13:12I work for an engineering firm.
00:13:14Like building machines or...
00:13:17Architectural.
00:13:18That sounds neat.
00:13:20I almost didn't study it because of all the math and calculations, but, uh, stuck with it.
00:13:25Good for you.
00:13:27I would have avoided anything that involves too much math.
00:13:32So what do you do?
00:13:33Oh, I work for an accountant.
00:13:35And that's not math?
00:13:37No, it's, it's a tax accountant.
00:13:39I mostly record numbers, data.
00:13:42It's nothing I really have to stew over.
00:13:44I think you're being modest.
00:13:46That's our Ashlyn, ever so modest.
00:13:49Noah, your father's looking for that platter.
00:13:51Oh, right.
00:13:53I'll be right back.
00:13:55No rush. We'll finish up here.
00:13:59You forgot the silverware.
00:14:09That was perfect.
00:14:11Noah, I'm so impressed. You'll have to give me your recipe for that marinade.
00:14:15Sure. Like she ever cooks.
00:14:18Look, I know I've said it before, but I am so glad we're all here.
00:14:22I wish we could relax, but we have greater things to do.
00:14:26The wedding plans.
00:14:27Ah, yes.
00:14:28Oh, don't begrudge me a little excitement.
00:14:30Oh, honey, of course not.
00:14:34How did you two meet?
00:14:37They work together.
00:14:40I never heard the full story.
00:14:43I've told it so many times, I thought for sure you'd heard it.
00:14:47Well, Bruce develops real estate, and I decorated the model homes.
00:14:51She has quite the eye.
00:14:53Of course I do. I picked you, didn't I?
00:14:56Yes, you did.
00:14:58I started a construction company years ago.
00:15:00Sometime later, I got into development.
00:15:03Mostly residential homes.
00:15:05There was this homebuilders' convention.
00:15:07I was drumming up business when Miriam introduced herself.
00:15:11It took me decorating three homes before he had the nerve to ask me out.
00:15:15Come on, go easy on me.
00:15:17You can be quite intimidating.
00:15:19Where are you getting married?
00:15:21A little church I picked out nearby.
00:15:23It is the cutest thing.
00:15:25We'll have to stop by and make sure everything is in order.
00:15:28When is it?
00:15:29Next week, Thursday?
00:15:32It's next Friday.
00:15:35Ashlyn has been so busy with her schooling,
00:15:38and with her whole focus, she's hardly thought about the wedding.
00:15:41You're going to school and work for an accountant?
00:15:44Yes.
00:15:46Yes, of course. And the accountant, too.
00:15:49That sounds like a lot. No wonder we haven't seen you all these months.
00:15:53My loss.
00:15:55We'll make up for it now, won't we?
00:15:57Exactly as planned. For us all to be together.
00:16:03Bruce asked me to come up with some way for us to get to know each other better.
00:16:07So, I thought of this game.
00:16:09It's all about your favorite things.
00:16:11So, what do we do?
00:16:13Okay, you pick a card, and you read it.
00:16:16Favorite food.
00:16:18And then everyone gets one guess as to what my favorite food is.
00:16:21Whoever gets it, wins the card, and goes next.
00:16:25And if no one gets it, I win the round.
00:16:29You win the round.
00:16:31Wonderful idea, Fiona.
00:16:33Jerry, why don't you go first?
00:16:36Fine.
00:16:39Favorite sport.
00:16:40That's a good one for you.
00:16:42Basketball.
00:16:43Baseball.
00:16:44Going with basketball, too.
00:16:46Football.
00:16:47That's it.
00:16:48I got it first.
00:16:51Okay, my turn.
00:16:53Favorite holiday.
00:16:56Christmas.
00:16:58Thanksgiving.
00:16:59Christmas.
00:17:00It's Halloween.
00:17:03She likes to dress up.
00:17:04Yeah.
00:17:05Okay.
00:17:09Let's see.
00:17:12Favorite hobby that you rarely get to do.
00:17:17Okay, got it.
00:17:20Painting.
00:17:21Cleaning.
00:17:22Reading.
00:17:24Okay, Miriam, you've got this.
00:17:26Let me think.
00:17:28Something you like but rarely do.
00:17:31Crocheting.
00:17:33You used to love it, but with you being so busy.
00:17:36No.
00:17:37I don't know how to crochet.
00:17:40I thought I'd get it for sure.
00:17:43Noah?
00:17:46Something you like but rarely do.
00:17:51I know what mine would be, so I'll go with that for a shot in the dark.
00:17:55Fishing?
00:17:57Yes, actually.
00:17:58Really?
00:17:59Yeah.
00:18:00My dad used to take me all the time when I was little.
00:18:02I fell in love with fly fishing, but it's hard to find the time.
00:18:05I know what you mean.
00:18:06Okay, moving on.
00:18:09Noah, your turn.
00:18:11Sure.
00:18:16Favorite song.
00:18:17Oh, Richard Marks.
00:18:21I'll be right here waiting for you.
00:18:24No, that is very specific, though.
00:18:27And old.
00:18:29Anyone else?
00:18:30They'll never get it.
00:18:32Go ahead, Dad.
00:18:34Claire de Lune, your mother's favorite.
00:18:37She used to play it on the piano.
00:18:39How sweet.
00:18:55I would have thought you'd be tired.
00:19:09You know, with all the traveling.
00:19:12Maybe, but I have too much to keep up on.
00:19:15Did your professors give you a hard time about this trip?
00:19:18Yeah, especially since it came up from nowhere.
00:19:21It did?
00:19:23It snuck up on me.
00:19:27So what are you studying?
00:19:29Education.
00:19:31I also have an internship at an elementary school right now.
00:19:35Wow, that's a lot.
00:19:38Anything I can do to help?
00:19:40No, but thanks.
00:19:43I'm not just asking to be polite.
00:19:45Besides, the sooner you get your homework done, the sooner you can enjoy this trip.
00:19:50Well, I do have a test when I get back.
00:19:54I keep pushing it aside.
00:19:56Want me to quiz you?
00:19:57Sure.
00:19:59Here are a few things.
00:20:01I'm pretty sure we'll be on the test.
00:20:03Okay.
00:20:11Still strange, isn't it?
00:20:13Yeah.
00:20:14It's a side of her I've never seen before.
00:20:16It has been fun giving my dad dating advice, though.
00:20:20Okay, let's see.
00:20:22First question.
00:20:28We'll have about 50 guests.
00:20:30Just our closest friends.
00:20:32Plenty of space.
00:20:34Is it too much space?
00:20:35It's going to look like no one came.
00:20:37Shh.
00:20:38I think it's just the right size.
00:20:41Oh, Mom, the decorator called about the deposit.
00:20:44Sweetheart, it's due tomorrow.
00:20:46Yes, I'll take care of it.
00:20:49Hey, what do you think?
00:20:52It's nice.
00:20:53Good spot for it.
00:20:55Ashlyn, do you like it?
00:20:58I do.
00:21:00It reminds me of the church my dad and Miriam got married in.
00:21:05Did the priest have a problem with birds being released indoors?
00:21:09Almost got the birds reserved.
00:21:11I was thinking, let's save those for when we drive off after the reception.
00:21:14But it's so much more impactful during the ceremony.
00:21:18But they're birds inside a church.
00:21:21Think of the mess.
00:21:22I've always wanted to have them at my wedding, and here's my last chance.
00:21:26I wonder if you could persuade the priest.
00:21:30But if you think it's too much, well, I trust your judgment.
00:21:34I'll think of something and try my best.
00:21:38Thank you.
00:21:41You're welcome.
00:21:55You're not being very nice.
00:21:57What do you mean?
00:21:59I don't want Bruce feeling like you're against this wedding.
00:22:02I'm not.
00:22:03Then stop being so morose.
00:22:05Cheer up.
00:22:07He's a good man.
00:22:08I think so, too.
00:22:10Then don't ruin this for me.
00:22:12Everyone, we better hurry.
00:22:13I have one more stop planned for us.
00:22:15Really?
00:22:16Bruce, what do you have up your sleeve?
00:22:24Birds?
00:22:25Yeah, I thought it'd be fun.
00:22:27But you hate it.
00:22:28Fiona loves animals.
00:22:30Let's go.
00:22:35Oh, oh, pretty.
00:22:38Great idea, Bruce.
00:22:40Yeah, great.
00:22:42Look at that one right there.
00:22:43Oh, nice.
00:22:45Here you go.
00:22:46Thank you so much.
00:22:47You're welcome.
00:22:49All right, everybody.
00:22:50Why don't we share?
00:22:53Here you go.
00:22:56Here, Noah.
00:22:57I'll share with you.
00:22:58Oh, thanks.
00:23:01Do you want to just hold it yourself, or?
00:23:04This is fine.
00:23:06What is this?
00:23:07Bird feed.
00:23:15My turn.
00:23:18Chatty bunch, aren't they?
00:23:19They are a bit noisy.
00:23:21Okay.
00:23:23All I have to do now is do this and see what happens.
00:23:29Oh, there we go.
00:23:30Yes.
00:23:32Come on.
00:23:35Is it attacking me?
00:23:36Oh, no, no, it didn't.
00:23:37Just come over here.
00:23:38Look, it's just a bird.
00:23:39It's okay.
00:23:40Look, I'll tell you what.
00:23:41You just stay with us, and we will shield you, okay?
00:23:56Here, try this.
00:23:58It's only half full now, but you'd still be enough to entice a bird or two.
00:24:02Thank you.
00:24:03You're welcome.
00:24:07Maybe they're not hungry?
00:24:08Yeah, just give it a minute.
00:24:10I bet they'll come eventually.
00:24:15Oh, there you go.
00:24:16Here, hang on.
00:24:22Take a look.
00:24:24Oh, that is so cool.
00:24:25Thank you.
00:24:26You're welcome.
00:24:27Here, your turn.
00:24:28Thank you.
00:24:30Do you know the names of any of these?
00:24:33No, I'm not a bird expert, but they are cute.
00:24:37Which one's your favorite?
00:24:39Well, you see.
00:24:41There.
00:24:42Oh, yeah, I can see why.
00:24:44That blue color is beautiful.
00:24:49No idea.
00:24:51Fiona wondered if you could show her how to feed the birds with a little more courage.
00:24:56Oh, um, sure.
00:25:08Any good games, huh?
00:25:10Football?
00:25:11Excellent.
00:25:12You need to watch yourself.
00:25:16Why?
00:25:17You're here to be a part of the family, but don't get too comfortable.
00:25:21Like with Noah, for example.
00:25:23If you're concerned about Noah, it should be because of Fiona's behavior.
00:25:26Don't put her down.
00:25:28I'm not.
00:25:29It was an observation.
00:25:30You're here to be smiling and silent.
00:25:34You insisted I come.
00:25:36Just think about what's at stake.
00:25:40I thought I already had everything when I married your father, but our time was cut short.
00:25:47I want to be happy again, and Bruce makes me happy.
00:25:52All I ask is that you don't make this family look bad.
00:25:55And for that, you get your tuition paid for and a week of family fun.
00:26:00I mean, really.
00:26:01You should be thanking me.
00:26:07Thanks.
00:26:13Oh, Ashlyn.
00:26:14There you are.
00:26:15I was hoping to have a word with you.
00:26:17Oh, I'm sorry.
00:26:18I just helped myself.
00:26:19Is that okay?
00:26:21Oh, of course it is.
00:26:22That's not what I wanted to talk about.
00:26:24Have a seat.
00:26:28I just wanted to make sure you were okay with all this.
00:26:31With?
00:26:33Me marrying Miriam.
00:26:35Oh.
00:26:37I just worried, you know?
00:26:39I didn't want this to be a hard occasion for you.
00:26:42It's not.
00:26:45Miriam shared with me how much she struggled raising you and Fiona and Jerry, too,
00:26:50and how she's afraid she didn't give you, in particular, everything you deserved.
00:26:57She said that?
00:26:58Yeah.
00:26:59Look, I can only imagine how hard it was on you, losing one parent and then losing your father,
00:27:04and then here comes the replacement, and even if it is years later.
00:27:09Please, whatever you're feeling, it's okay.
00:27:13So if you want to talk, I'm here.
00:27:17Thanks.
00:27:19That's unexpected, but very thoughtful of you.
00:27:25As long as you are both happy, I'm happy.
00:27:29Good.
00:27:36Hurry, everyone!
00:27:37She's expecting us!
00:27:43Where are the kids?
00:27:44That sounded strange.
00:27:46They're putting on their shoes.
00:27:47Thanks, Fiona.
00:27:49Excited?
00:27:50Do you blame me?
00:27:51You only get married once.
00:27:53Twice.
00:27:54A handful of times.
00:27:56You ready?
00:27:57Yeah.
00:27:58Where's Ashlyn?
00:27:59Studying.
00:28:00Let's not disturb her.
00:28:01She's so stressed.
00:28:02Then she needs a break.
00:28:03I'm going to go ask, just in case.
00:28:10Ah, there you are.
00:28:13Whoa, this room is cozy.
00:28:16Is it one of the housekeeper rooms?
00:28:18I don't know.
00:28:20You know there's another room in the house that's available, right?
00:28:23There is?
00:28:24Yeah, by Fiona's room.
00:28:26Oh.
00:28:27Well, I am all unpacked and settled in here.
00:28:30It's fine.
00:28:32All right.
00:28:33Well, we're leaving for the cake place.
00:28:37The bakery?
00:28:38Yes, that.
00:28:40The wedding bakery, or whatever they call it.
00:28:42Come on, everyone's in the car, ready to go.
00:28:45Oh, okay.
00:28:48Oh, they give samples, too.
00:28:51Oh, this looks delicious.
00:28:55Mmm, good, good.
00:28:57Give me another one.
00:28:59Here, sweetheart.
00:29:01Mmm, good flavor, a little too sweet, though.
00:29:05I think we need something original, something spectacular.
00:29:10I hear orange chocolate is in.
00:29:12Ew, you might as well make a sweet and sour stir fry cake.
00:29:17What about something classic like lemon?
00:29:19Light, flavorful.
00:29:21That's a lovely suggestion.
00:29:23She hates it.
00:29:25If it were my wedding, I think fruit would be a great idea.
00:29:31I love lemon, Noah.
00:29:34That's good.
00:29:36What about pistachio?
00:29:38Not by itself, though.
00:29:39They'd need something to spruce it up.
00:29:41May I suggest cherry hazelnut?
00:29:45Mmm.
00:29:47I don't know what this is.
00:29:50I don't think we have to.
00:29:53I wish this had more frosting.
00:29:56Really?
00:29:57Yeah, I prefer a one-to-one ratio of cake to frosting.
00:30:00That sounds...
00:30:01Delicious?
00:30:02Horrifying.
00:30:03You can't taste the cake with all that sugar.
00:30:05Well, that's why you also have fillings.
00:30:07That part sounds good.
00:30:09What flavors do you like, chocolate or vanilla?
00:30:11That basic.
00:30:13Um, vanilla, then.
00:30:15Because you can pair it with a lot of other flavors.
00:30:17Yeah? Like what?
00:30:19Um, passion fruit?
00:30:21Ooh, fancy.
00:30:23I first discovered it when I moved out on my own.
00:30:26In that case, you should try the passion fruit cream cake.
00:30:29Okay, uh, thanks.
00:30:33That sounds delicious.
00:30:37Mmm. Wow. Okay.
00:30:40Yeah, I'm usually more of a chocolate guy.
00:30:43This is amazing. Here.
00:30:45I, um...
00:30:46Oh, wow. Sorry.
00:30:51Here.
00:30:52Oh, uh...
00:30:53Try it.
00:30:54Okay.
00:30:57Mmm.
00:31:01Yeah. Yeah, that's...
00:31:03That's really good.
00:31:05Good.
00:31:08Could I get this in a to-go box?
00:31:14Oh, this won't do.
00:31:17Ashlyn, clean out the pool, will you?
00:31:20I need to work off all that cake.
00:31:22Isn't there a...
00:31:24How about one of those long net things?
00:31:26Find it, will you?
00:31:28Hey, guys.
00:31:30Tomorrow, I was thinking we go deep-sea fishing.
00:31:33It's supposed to be great here, and it seems we have some fishermen.
00:31:36Women.
00:31:37That sounds awesome.
00:31:38Maybe we'll catch something decent and make that our dinner.
00:31:40Bruce, you know I'm not one for fishing.
00:31:42I know. I keep hoping.
00:31:45What about you, Jerry?
00:31:47Jerry.
00:31:48What?
00:31:49Will you join us tomorrow, fishing?
00:31:51Oh, I, uh...
00:31:53Sure.
00:31:54Great.
00:31:55Will Fiona want to join us?
00:31:57Fiona takes after me. She won't stomach fishing.
00:32:00Ashlyn, you're in, right?
00:32:02Sure. I'd love to go.
00:32:04So, four of us.
00:32:05Great. I'll call the charter, let them know.
00:32:11Well, come on. The pool won't clean itself.
00:32:16Okay.
00:32:20Why are you all going fishing tomorrow?
00:32:22Bruce's idea.
00:32:23I want to go.
00:32:24No, you don't.
00:32:25Well, I don't want to be left behind.
00:32:28I'm the wedding planner anyway. Bruce should have asked me.
00:32:31Just because you're the wedding planner doesn't mean you have a say in everything we do before the actual wedding.
00:32:36Why did it have to be fishing?
00:32:38Some tradition of his.
00:32:40Gross.
00:32:42Then stay.
00:32:44Why didn't you convince them to do something else?
00:32:47Water skiing, snorkeling...
00:32:49Would you stop your yammering?
00:32:51I'm busy.
00:32:52What's with you?
00:32:54It hasn't been a good day for me.
00:32:56Like it matters.
00:32:58What would you know? I'm trying to... accomplish something here.
00:33:03Whatever. Sports are dumb anyway.
00:33:06Fishing's a sport?
00:33:08Hardly.
00:33:09Go bug Mom. I'm sure she'll take his shopping or something.
00:33:22Typical.
00:33:24No signal?
00:33:25So much from my international plan.
00:33:27Probably too far out from any cell tower.
00:33:30Lame.
00:33:35How much did you lose?
00:33:37How do you know I lost?
00:33:38Just a guess.
00:33:40Doesn't matter. I'll want it back in some other games tonight.
00:33:44So...
00:33:46What do you think of all this bonding?
00:33:48It's been good.
00:33:50All right, spit it out.
00:33:52I know you had your reservations about this trip.
00:33:56It's the risk of awkward conversations that gets me.
00:33:59All that, paired with the knowledge we're going to be bound with this doomed family.
00:34:03I thought you liked Miriam.
00:34:05I do.
00:34:07But I don't like her.
00:34:09I don't like this doomed family.
00:34:11I thought you liked Miriam.
00:34:12I do. She seems nice.
00:34:15But my only interactions with her have been at dinner or a holiday here or there.
00:34:19Are you all right with her?
00:34:21Yeah.
00:34:23As long as I don't have to call her Mom.
00:34:26And the others?
00:34:29That's where the awkward comes from.
00:34:31My future siblings.
00:34:33Or, um, step-siblings.
00:34:36Everyone takes some getting used to.
00:34:38At least we're not growing up together and sharing the same house once you get married.
00:34:43I don't think I can handle a Fiona all the time.
00:34:46She is a character.
00:34:49Jerry seems a little, uh, consumed.
00:34:53He's hard to figure out.
00:34:56The action's nice. Sharp.
00:34:59Easy to see they're not blood-related, huh?
00:35:02She has a lot more sense than the other two.
00:35:07You're giving them a chance, at least.
00:35:13Nice cast, Ashlyn.
00:35:15Thanks.
00:35:17You mentioned you used to go fishing with your Dad?
00:35:19Yeah. Yeah, he used to take us to a lake not too far from our house.
00:35:23A little different from here, but always fun.
00:35:27Just the two of us in a cooler filled with soda and peanut butter sandwiches.
00:35:31What did you catch?
00:35:33Carp. Trout here and there.
00:35:36And plenty of trees.
00:35:38Which do you like better? Lake or open ocean?
00:35:42I'll let you know when I catch something.
00:35:45I like your confidence.
00:35:47Jerry, you fish much?
00:35:49A few times. Fishing competitions.
00:35:52Deep sea?
00:35:54Not like...
00:35:58Not like this.
00:36:04A little tight still here.
00:36:07But divine.
00:36:09I swear the seamstress took this in instead of letting it out.
00:36:13This lighting makes me look so pale.
00:36:15Oh, shush. You're fine.
00:36:17You look pretty, Mom.
00:36:19Thank you.
00:36:21Just a few more days. I can barely wait.
00:36:24Our new life.
00:36:26Hey, Mom. Bruce and Noah are close, aren't they?
00:36:30Yes, I think so.
00:36:32So we'll be seeing him a lot?
00:36:34Noah? Yes, probably.
00:36:36Good.
00:36:38Do you have a crush already?
00:36:40He's gorgeous. You can't blame me for noticing.
00:36:43I suppose not.
00:36:45I'm not sure Noah will see you as more than a sibling for a while.
00:36:49Why not?
00:36:51Well, this is all new for him. As it is for you.
00:36:54With a wedding, no one is thinking of anything else.
00:36:57Give it time.
00:36:59I don't know what you're saying, but Ashlyn keeps getting in the way.
00:37:02Does she?
00:37:03They're out fishing together now as it is.
00:37:05With Bruce and Jerry, it's hardly a date.
00:37:08I don't know what anyone sees in her anyway.
00:37:11One thing about Ashlyn that will always be true.
00:37:14She's easy to overlook.
00:37:16Besides, she has her classes and her teaching dreams.
00:37:20Keep her focused on that, and she won't give Noah any encouragement.
00:37:29Jerry, you've got something.
00:37:31Oh, let's see.
00:37:33Jerry, the pole.
00:37:36You okay?
00:37:38I don't feel so good.
00:37:40Did you take some motion sickness pills?
00:37:43No.
00:37:46Here. Maybe this will help.
00:37:49If I throw up, I'm aiming at you.
00:37:52Charming.
00:37:54Here, look. Take some sips.
00:37:57Not too much all at once.
00:37:59All right, let's bring in this fish.
00:38:02Oh, yeah. Noah, you want to do the honors?
00:38:04What about Ashlyn?
00:38:06What?
00:38:07Here, reel in the fish, will you?
00:38:09Okay, sure.
00:38:11Oh, wow. Oh, it's strong.
00:38:13All right, you can do this.
00:38:15If it's fighting you good, just reel it in in spurts.
00:38:17I don't want to lose it.
00:38:19Even if you do, there's plenty of fish in the sea.
00:38:22I've never heard that said so literally.
00:38:24I wonder how big it is.
00:38:26I can't see it yet.
00:38:28Every fish I've ever caught has felt like a 200-pound marlin.
00:38:30This surface is an 8-pound bass.
00:38:32Oh!
00:38:34You all right?
00:38:36You got it?
00:38:38I wonder what kind of fish it is.
00:38:40I once caught a snakefish.
00:38:42What?
00:38:43Predator fish. Breathe air.
00:38:45Big, creepy teeth.
00:38:46What did you do with it?
00:38:48I went to go throw it back in because there was no way I was eating it.
00:38:50And it bit me.
00:38:52Was it serious?
00:38:53No, but it freaked me out.
00:38:56Oh!
00:38:58That's all right. You got it.
00:39:00Keep going. Just keep it steady.
00:39:02Okay, okay.
00:39:04I got it.
00:39:06Try to bring it in closer so I can get a better look.
00:39:08Oh, wow!
00:39:10What? Is it a snakefish?
00:39:12No, but it's big.
00:39:14That must be why my arms are tiring out.
00:39:16You got this.
00:39:18Look a little closer.
00:39:20There it is.
00:39:22Nice catch, Ashlyn.
00:39:24I've never caught a fish that big before.
00:39:26Well done.
00:39:28Thanks.
00:39:30It was my pole.
00:39:36Hello?
00:39:38Anyone hungry?
00:39:40No.
00:39:42You're back!
00:39:44Yeah, with quite the catch. Ashlyn reeled it in.
00:39:46Oh, that's wonderful.
00:39:48I'll get this all cleaned up.
00:39:50I'll get the grill ready.
00:39:52You certainly smell like your prey.
00:39:54It was worth it, though, right, Jerry?
00:39:56The water was pretty rough today.
00:39:58I'm glad you made it back safe, then.
00:40:00Oh, Ashlyn.
00:40:02Why don't you go grab some medicine for Jerry?
00:40:04Oh, and I left my shoes for the wedding at the shop in town.
00:40:06Go get those, too.
00:40:08Sure, just let me get cleaned up first.
00:40:10No, the shop will close soon.
00:40:12I need you to go now.
00:40:14Can't your Fiona do it?
00:40:16You've had your day of fun
00:40:18while Fiona and I have been preparing everything for the wedding.
00:40:20The least you could do is run a couple simple errands.
00:40:34Dinner's ready!
00:40:40Smells wonderful.
00:40:42Yeah, I'm starving.
00:40:44Where's Ashlyn?
00:40:46And, uh, Jerry?
00:40:48Jerry, I'm afraid, is concerned dinner might not agree with him yet.
00:40:50He's resting in his bedroom.
00:40:52And Ashlyn is running an errand,
00:40:54getting him some medicine.
00:40:56You know.
00:40:58Oh, that's nice of her.
00:41:00Let's wait, then, until she gets back.
00:41:02I'll call and see how close she is, okay?
00:41:04Sure.
00:41:14Ashlyn, everything okay there?
00:41:16Oh, good.
00:41:18Well, dinner is ready, but we didn't want to eat without you.
00:41:20Are you sure?
00:41:22All right.
00:41:24We'll save you a plate.
00:41:26We can go ahead.
00:41:28Okay, let's eat.
00:41:46Dinner was delicious, Fiona.
00:41:50Thanks.
00:42:10No.
00:42:16And I'm telling you,
00:42:18it's a mistake.
00:42:20I can fund my accounts if you just let me clear this up.
00:42:22No, don't shut it down.
00:42:24This is my business, okay?
00:42:26That's ridiculous.
00:42:28I'm telling you,
00:42:30this will all be sorted out, and...
00:42:32Yeah.
00:42:34Yeah, I can do that, okay?
00:42:36Just don't close it down.
00:42:38Thanks.
00:42:40Hey, Jerry.
00:42:42Hey, man.
00:42:44What's up?
00:42:46Everything okay?
00:42:48Yeah, just work, you know?
00:42:50No biggie.
00:42:52It's fine.
00:42:54Um, well, you want to play a game of pool?
00:42:58Maybe later.
00:43:02Okay.
00:43:04I want tropical colors,
00:43:06but tasteful.
00:43:08Tasteful.
00:43:10How big is my bouquet gonna be?
00:43:12Smaller than mine.
00:43:14Maybe using some of these
00:43:16as key parts of the bouquet.
00:43:18Ashlyn, write these down already.
00:43:20Okay.
00:43:22How about this one?
00:43:24No.
00:43:26Okay, then for my bouquet.
00:43:28No, we should be matching.
00:43:30Pillow?
00:43:32You need some flowers.
00:43:34Bouquets.
00:43:36For a wedding.
00:43:38Ah, congratulations.
00:43:40Thank you.
00:43:42How many?
00:43:44Two bouquets.
00:43:46One for me, the bride,
00:43:48and one for the bridesmaid.
00:43:50Okay, great.
00:43:52Let me go see if there are some options.
00:43:54Will I need one?
00:43:56No, you're not a bridesmaid.
00:43:58Are you?
00:44:00Why didn't he?
00:44:02Is Jerry a groomsman?
00:44:04I'm having him walk me down the aisle.
00:44:06Noah will be Bruce's groomsman.
00:44:08So what am I gonna be doing?
00:44:10Oh, you'll be sitting in the back
00:44:12for all the latecomers,
00:44:14and you'll usher them to the best seat.
00:44:16Someone has to do it.
00:44:18It makes sense to be you.
00:44:20Now I like these.
00:44:22Ashlyn, write these down already.
00:44:30♪ ♪
00:45:00♪ ♪
00:45:26Are you okay?
00:45:28Yeah.
00:45:30A lot of fines going around today.
00:45:32You, Jerry.
00:45:34Jerry?
00:45:36He seemed a little upset earlier, too.
00:45:38♪ ♪
00:45:58♪ ♪
00:46:28♪ ♪
00:46:46I don't know what's bothering Jerry.
00:46:48Oh.
00:46:50Then what's bothering you, then?
00:46:52It's nothing I can't handle.
00:46:55Is it like, um,
00:46:57guy troubles, or...
00:46:59Yeah, sorry.
00:47:01That felt strange as I was saying it.
00:47:03Yeah.
00:47:05Um, no.
00:47:07No, it's not guy troubles.
00:47:09I don't have anyone back home.
00:47:11Oh.
00:47:13Do you?
00:47:15Not anymore.
00:47:17But there was someone?
00:47:19Yeah.
00:47:21Getting overseas opportunity.
00:47:23Kind of a dream job scenario.
00:47:25Then she left.
00:47:27Oh.
00:47:29I'm sorry about everything.
00:47:31Did you miss her?
00:47:33I did.
00:47:35For a long time.
00:47:37She didn't really talk to me about it.
00:47:39Just said goodbye, and...
00:47:41That was it.
00:47:43Oh.
00:47:45Yeah.
00:47:47It's nice to feel loved.
00:47:49There.
00:47:51Always.
00:47:53Oh, there you are.
00:47:55I was wanting to take the family for a nice dinner tonight.
00:47:57How soon before you can be ready?
00:47:59About ten minutes?
00:48:01Maybe a little longer for Ashlyn.
00:48:03I'll hurry.
00:48:05Wear something nice.
00:48:07I will.
00:48:21Where'd you go?
00:48:29What?
00:48:51Oh, new shirt.
00:48:53It's nice.
00:48:55Oh, thanks.
00:48:57Let's go.
00:48:59In a minute. Ashlyn's still changing.
00:49:01I can't go tonight.
00:49:03Why ever not?
00:49:05Something happened with my computer.
00:49:07My paper's gone and it's due tomorrow.
00:49:09Ashlyn, I'm so sorry.
00:49:11Oh yes, that is unfortunate.
00:49:13You still have to eat.
00:49:15He's right.
00:49:17Come along and we'll get you back as quick as we can.
00:49:19It's not a problem.
00:49:21No, you shouldn't change anything for me.
00:49:23I'll be fine.
00:49:25Are you sure that it's gone?
00:49:27Yeah, I must have not saved it right.
00:49:29Or something.
00:49:31You should be more careful.
00:49:33I can stay and help you.
00:49:35No, you should go.
00:49:37You'll just be watching me type.
00:49:39But you missed dinner with us last night.
00:49:41Is there anything we can do to help?
00:49:43Not that I can think of, but thank you.
00:49:45It'll be alright.
00:49:47Yeah, thanks.
00:49:49Come on, Noah.
00:49:51Let's go.
00:50:15My dear friend had to cancel coming to the wedding.
00:50:25Her husband tore his ACL or something playing tennis.
00:50:29Is that Donna?
00:50:31No, Hannah.
00:50:33You know what this means, though.
00:50:35We have to revisit the seating chart.
00:50:37Yes, I can help.
00:50:39Tomorrow. Let's just enjoy tonight.
00:50:41Speaking of...
00:50:43Oh, Bruce, you didn't.
00:50:45I got you a little something special.
00:50:47You already did.
00:50:49More of a keepsake for all the memories
00:50:51we'll have after we're married.
00:50:53But this...
00:50:55is to help us always remember
00:50:57our time here together
00:50:59on the island.
00:51:01Oh, it's beautiful.
00:51:05I'm glad you like it.
00:51:07Oh, come on now.
00:51:11Let's order before I start tearing up.
00:51:13So...
00:51:15what are you getting?
00:51:17I'm not sure.
00:51:19You?
00:51:21I'm thinking a salad.
00:51:23Want to share a dessert with me?
00:51:25Haven't thought that far ahead.
00:51:27What about Ashlyn?
00:51:29What about her?
00:51:31What would she like?
00:51:33I don't know.
00:51:35A soup or something?
00:51:39Have we all had enough time to decide what to order?
00:51:41Yes, I think so.
00:51:43Please, start here with Miriam.
00:51:45I'm still debating.
00:51:47In that case, please start with Fiona,
00:51:49and we'll have made up our minds by the time you get her on the table.
00:51:51I'll have the steak salad here
00:51:53and a side of rice.
00:51:55And you?
00:51:57I'll have the chicken with the pasta.
00:51:59Oh, and one more thing.
00:52:01Can I order another meal?
00:52:03Same thing, but if you'll box it up to go, please?
00:52:05Certainly.
00:52:07Thanks.
00:52:09♪
00:52:11♪
00:52:13♪
00:52:15♪
00:52:17♪
00:52:19Okay.
00:52:21Keep going.
00:52:23Keep going.
00:52:25♪
00:52:27♪
00:52:29How's the paper coming?
00:52:31Oh, hi.
00:52:33Um...
00:52:35It's actually easier rewriting it
00:52:37than it was the first time.
00:52:39Although...
00:52:41You wish you didn't have to write it twice no matter what?
00:52:43Exactly.
00:52:45Hungry?
00:52:47Yes, actually.
00:52:49It's nice outside right now.
00:52:51Want to eat out there, away from your computer?
00:52:55Sure.
00:52:57Okay.
00:53:03Thank you.
00:53:05This is exactly what I needed.
00:53:07You're welcome.
00:53:09So what's this paper of yours about?
00:53:11Oh, um...
00:53:13It's about child development theory
00:53:15intersecting with age-appropriate learning.
00:53:19There are a bunch of different studies I've pulled from.
00:53:21It's probably the most technical thing I've had to write,
00:53:23but I hope it works.
00:53:25Sounds very scientific.
00:53:27Yeah.
00:53:29I'll be glad when I finish it.
00:53:31Again.
00:53:35Did you always want to be a teacher?
00:53:37No, actually.
00:53:39I didn't know what I wanted to do for a while.
00:53:41But I figured it out a few years after high school.
00:53:45What changed?
00:53:47I ran into one of my old teachers.
00:53:49She was great.
00:53:51She helped me through some hard times.
00:53:55I just kept thinking that
00:53:57I want to do that.
00:53:59Be that person for
00:54:01a kid who needs someone who understands.
00:54:03That's very admirable.
00:54:05Did I tell you my mother was a teacher?
00:54:07No.
00:54:09I didn't know that.
00:54:11Music, so not quite what you're going to do.
00:54:13Was it piano?
00:54:15Yeah.
00:54:17You remembered.
00:54:19That and violin.
00:54:21Do you play?
00:54:23A little bit of piano.
00:54:25I was a pretty stubborn kid about practicing.
00:54:27So my mom told me
00:54:29I had to be taught by someone else for it to work.
00:54:31I think I missed out
00:54:33on how great of a teacher she was.
00:54:35Was her passing
00:54:37unexpected?
00:54:39Yeah.
00:54:41I think it always is to an extent.
00:54:45She'd been sick for a while.
00:54:47But we thought she was getting better.
00:54:49Then she took a turn for the worse
00:54:51with all these complications.
00:54:55And it was over.
00:54:57That sounds really hard.
00:54:59Having that hope
00:55:01and then losing her.
00:55:03It was.
00:55:07Did your dad ever think about
00:55:09getting married again sooner?
00:55:11Maybe.
00:55:15There were some pretty awkward times
00:55:17when he started dating again.
00:55:19Some of the stories he would tell me.
00:55:23My guess is that it wasn't the right time.
00:55:25He was expanding his business.
00:55:29Maybe it was a matter of finding the right person.
00:55:31I always wonder about that.
00:55:35The right one.
00:55:37Yeah.
00:55:39Maybe it seems strange when we've both
00:55:41lost parents, remarrying and all.
00:55:43I don't have too much
00:55:45life experience
00:55:47in love
00:55:49and marriage.
00:55:51But I hope that
00:55:53even the second time around
00:55:55we still aim to find
00:55:57that right person.
00:56:03Come in.
00:56:05What is it?
00:56:07I need to talk to you.
00:56:09What's wrong?
00:56:11I had some
00:56:13bad tips on some games this week.
00:56:15How much is it this time?
00:56:1730k.
00:56:19Oh my.
00:56:21Mom.
00:56:23I've tried to be supportive
00:56:25but at some point you have to
00:56:27stop lying to yourself.
00:56:29What you're doing isn't the way to make it
00:56:31in your life.
00:56:33I can earn it back but my trading accounts were suspended.
00:56:35Don't you mean gambling accounts?
00:56:37What do you want me to do about it?
00:56:39Talk to Bruce.
00:56:41Oh Jerry, I can't do that.
00:56:43I won't.
00:56:45Maybe I can
00:56:47lend you something.
00:56:51The money was
00:56:53yours.
00:56:55What?
00:56:57The 30k.
00:56:59You had me
00:57:01co-sign on an account in case anything ever
00:57:03happened to you and I...
00:57:05And you used it as
00:57:07your own personal piggy bank?
00:57:09I'm sorry.
00:57:11Sorry doesn't pay me back.
00:57:13I know. But if we ask Bruce...
00:57:15When?
00:57:17Before the wedding when he learns about your
00:57:19wasteful habit?
00:57:21Or after when he'll feel like I lied to him?
00:57:25The second one?
00:57:27I really am sorry.
00:57:29I didn't know what else to do.
00:57:31You stay quiet.
00:57:33We just
00:57:35have to get through this week
00:57:37and the wedding.
00:57:43I'll tell him.
00:57:55My paper.
00:58:01Okay. Just the last bit.
00:58:05Yeah.
00:58:13Yeah.
00:58:15That works.
00:58:17Attach file.
00:58:19And...
00:58:21Send.
00:58:27My cousin decided to come last minute
00:58:29so we could swap Hayman as plus one
00:58:31with your friend.
00:58:33Now, do you think we should increase the numbers
00:58:35for the catering? They always give such
00:58:37stingy servings and I don't want anyone to go hungry.
00:58:39I think it'll be fine as is.
00:58:41Maybe I should ask Fiona to call about it just in case.
00:58:43Mom.
00:58:45This is so much better, isn't it?
00:58:47Yes. Lovely.
00:58:49Oh, good morning, sleepyhead.
00:58:51Ashlyn, did you finish your paper?
00:58:53Yes. All done.
00:58:55That's great news.
00:58:57Uh, Miriam?
00:58:59Can I talk to you for a moment?
00:59:01Of course.
00:59:03Girl talk, I guess.
00:59:07Well?
00:59:09I was wondering
00:59:11what you wanted me to wear for the wedding.
00:59:13It doesn't matter. Any one of your dresses will do.
00:59:15I didn't bring any dresses.
00:59:17Well, that was
00:59:19silly of you.
00:59:21I figured you'd have one for me.
00:59:23At least to match your wedding colors.
00:59:25Well, you figured wrong.
00:59:27Why would I squander
00:59:29my money like that? It's just one day.
00:59:31And remember, you'll be helping seat the guests.
00:59:33It doesn't matter what you wear.
00:59:35Hang on.
00:59:37Don't you think Bruce will find it odd that you're basically
00:59:39excluding me from the wedding party?
00:59:41I mean, think about
00:59:43the photos.
00:59:45Don't try to manipulate me.
00:59:47You always felt you were due something as a child.
00:59:49Why can't I have this? Or that?
00:59:51It's not about the dress.
00:59:53And you know it.
00:59:55If you don't want me here, I'm more than happy
00:59:57to leave right now.
00:59:59I have nothing to lose.
01:00:01And I don't appreciate being threatened.
01:00:03It's not a threat. It's the truth.
01:00:05Which you should be more afraid of than I am.
01:00:07Try this on for truth, then.
01:00:09You leave and stop behaving?
01:00:11You don't get a dime from me for your tuition.
01:00:13And of course, with you leaving, I'll have to explain why.
01:00:15That'll only hurt you more.
01:00:17I've already shared with Bruce
01:00:19how troubled you were growing up.
01:00:21Who do you think he's going to believe when I tell him
01:00:23you got upset over nothing
01:00:25and left us all?
01:00:27And what would dear Noah think if he learned
01:00:29you came here only for the promise of money?
01:00:37Ashley!
01:00:41Mind if I tag along?
01:00:43My dad said you were going into town.
01:00:45My earbuds died and I needed a new pair for the flight home.
01:00:47Um...
01:00:49I have some shopping to do. I might be a while.
01:00:51That's okay. I've got time.
01:00:53Okay.
01:01:03Here we are.
01:01:05Great.
01:01:07You want to come with me? That should be pretty quick in the electronics shop.
01:01:09Oh, uh, I don't want to slow you down.
01:01:11I'll just meet you somewhere.
01:01:13Okay. Where will you be? I'll come find you.
01:01:15Um, just one of these clothing shops.
01:01:17Okay. See you in a few minutes.
01:01:23Okay.
01:01:53Hey, I'm back.
01:01:55Great. I'm almost done.
01:01:57What are you looking for?
01:01:59Oh, nothing.
01:02:01I mean, something, obviously.
01:02:03I'll know it when I see it.
01:02:05Okay.
01:02:11There. That's all I need.
01:02:13Don't you want to try it on?
01:02:15I'm sure it'll fit fine.
01:02:17It's a little tight.
01:02:19It's okay.
01:02:21I'm sure it'll fit fine.
01:02:23What's the occasion anyway?
01:02:25Oh, um, it's...
01:02:27What?
01:02:29Well, it's not for the wedding, right?
01:02:33Is it?
01:02:35Sort of.
01:02:37What about the bridesmaid's dresses
01:02:39and the fittings and all that?
01:02:41I saw Fiona parading around in hers the other day.
01:02:43They...
01:02:45They couldn't make a dress in time.
01:02:47My measurements. I mean, they didn't have them.
01:02:49Well, even Jerry and I have matching vests
01:02:51and ties for the wedding.
01:02:53I...
01:02:55I like this better.
01:02:57Okay, well,
01:02:59if you're going to get a dress,
01:03:01can I at least suggest one you like a little more?
01:03:05Hmm, let's see here.
01:03:07Oh.
01:03:09How about this?
01:03:11Hmm? What do you think?
01:03:13Yeah.
01:03:15Okay. And...
01:03:17How about this one?
01:03:19Hmm?
01:03:21Yeah. Yeah, I like them.
01:03:23You want to try them on?
01:03:25Okay.
01:03:27Um...
01:03:29I'll be right back.
01:03:31Okay.
01:03:47Is this one fancy enough?
01:03:49You're...
01:03:51It's beautiful.
01:03:53On you.
01:03:55So you think it's okay?
01:03:57More than okay.
01:03:59Please. Truly.
01:04:01Okay.
01:04:05Thank you for coming.
01:04:07And...
01:04:09for your opinion.
01:04:11Anytime.
01:04:13There you are.
01:04:15I've been looking everywhere for you, Noah.
01:04:17Uh, I better go hang this up
01:04:19so it doesn't get you wrinkled.
01:04:25So,
01:04:27I'm coming in, and the waves are perfect
01:04:29for body surfing.
01:04:31You in?
01:04:33Have you seen my dad?
01:04:35Uh, inside somewhere.
01:04:37Great, thanks.
01:04:45Can I get one of those?
01:04:47Sure.
01:04:51Need it with the seat, right?
01:04:53You should try the pool.
01:04:55Good idea.
01:04:57What a view.
01:05:01Yeah.
01:05:03Hey, Dad.
01:05:05There's something that's been bothering me.
01:05:07Okay. What?
01:05:09Have you noticed how Ashlyn is treated
01:05:11differently than Jerry and Fiona?
01:05:13Not really.
01:05:17But I think it'd be hard for me
01:05:19to not subconsciously favor you
01:05:21even after I get married.
01:05:23It's more than just favoring.
01:05:25I mean, think about it.
01:05:27She's given the smallest room in the house,
01:05:29one that I think is for a caretaker,
01:05:31even when there's an empty, nicer room available.
01:05:33She's always the one to clean up
01:05:35while Jerry and Fiona and even Miriam do nothing.
01:05:37Noah, that's not fair.
01:05:39This is a vacation, after all.
01:05:41For everyone but Ashlyn.
01:05:43I mean, even the way they act around each other.
01:05:45Some of the things they say,
01:05:47there's this tension and...
01:05:49and almost fear.
01:05:51Do you know where we were this afternoon?
01:05:53No.
01:05:55A dress shop. Ashlyn was buying her own dress
01:05:57because Miriam didn't even get her
01:05:59something to match the wedding party.
01:06:01Noah, I'm sure there's an explanation.
01:06:03Maybe we're looking at this all wrong.
01:06:05I don't know how else to see it.
01:06:07Is there another reason
01:06:09you're so concerned?
01:06:13Look, I've noticed
01:06:15how you look at her.
01:06:17So?
01:06:19Is it possible that's
01:06:21affecting your judgment?
01:06:23No. No, that's not it.
01:06:25You sure?
01:06:27You do seem to seek her out.
01:06:29Yeah, but...
01:06:31I'd like to think that no matter what I felt for her,
01:06:33I'd say something about what I've seen.
01:06:35Noah.
01:06:49I saw you and Noah.
01:06:51Where'd you go?
01:06:53What do you want, Fiona?
01:06:55I want you to be careful.
01:06:57We don't want you scaring him off.
01:06:59I'm the last one who'd do that.
01:07:01If you ruin this
01:07:03with your pathetic feelings for Noah,
01:07:05Mom will be furious.
01:07:07Thanks for the warning.
01:07:09Isn't there another spot on this beach you can go to?
01:07:11Look, I don't want you to get hurt.
01:07:13I just want you to be careful.
01:07:15I don't want you to get hurt.
01:07:17Isn't there another spot on this beach you can go to?
01:07:19Look.
01:07:21Mom needs this marriage to happen.
01:07:23With Jerry's debts and using all her money.
01:07:25It's the only way.
01:07:27What did you say?
01:07:29Bruce can make it all go away.
01:07:31He'd set us up for life.
01:07:33And maybe
01:07:35that would extend to you too.
01:07:37So watch it.
01:07:47Hey.
01:07:49Hey.
01:07:51How was the beach?
01:07:53It was...
01:07:55sandy.
01:07:57That good, huh?
01:07:59Yeah.
01:08:03You okay?
01:08:05Wanna get out of here?
01:08:07Do something that will cheer us up?
01:08:09Yes, please.
01:08:17Sorry.
01:08:19Is it too windy for you?
01:08:21No.
01:08:23I love it.
01:08:25Yeah?
01:08:27Yeah.
01:08:29Woo!
01:08:47How do you find these places?
01:08:49Have you been here before?
01:08:51I just did some research.
01:08:53I like the way that this place looked
01:08:55in the photos I saw online.
01:08:57The cliffs.
01:08:59Maybe it's the architecture of it.
01:09:01Can you really call it that
01:09:03when it's, like, nature-made?
01:09:05Why not?
01:09:07A lot of architecture is inspired by nature.
01:09:09Do you design a lot of buildings?
01:09:11Not so much.
01:09:13Mostly...
01:09:15Mostly...
01:09:17make sure things are following building codes
01:09:19and strong enough in the designs.
01:09:21So nothing falls apart?
01:09:23Yep. It's not glamorous,
01:09:25but it's kind of important.
01:09:27Do you ever want to design?
01:09:29Yeah.
01:09:31You know, it's not my forte yet,
01:09:33but one day, who knows?
01:09:35Well...
01:09:37it's good to have dreams.
01:09:39I think it's cool that you do.
01:09:41Yeah?
01:09:43What about Fiona, though?
01:09:45Or Jerry?
01:09:47Jerry wants to be successful,
01:09:49which, to him,
01:09:51means being rich.
01:09:53And Fiona...
01:09:55I'm not quite sure
01:09:57she's settled
01:09:59on what she wants to do in life.
01:10:01So what was it like growing up
01:10:03with the Vanderbilts?
01:10:05Actually, Vanderbilt is my last name.
01:10:07Or my dad's.
01:10:09Miriam always liked it.
01:10:11Wealthy and important.
01:10:13Wow.
01:10:17Did you get along
01:10:19with Jerry and Fiona?
01:10:23Sometimes.
01:10:25What about Miriam?
01:10:29There were some hard times.
01:10:31It was difficult, I guess.
01:10:35Did you ever wish things were different?
01:10:38Of course.
01:10:40I mean, who wouldn't?
01:10:42But I like to think
01:10:44that I'm stronger
01:10:46in the long run
01:10:48because of everything.
01:10:56You are.
01:11:00Okay.
01:11:02Your turn to drive.
01:11:04Really?
01:11:08Woo!
01:11:23Oh, Jerry,
01:11:25we're making a nice dinner
01:11:27for everyone tonight.
01:11:29We?
01:11:31It's a way to celebrate
01:11:33before the wedding.
01:11:35I need to go to the grocery store.
01:11:37Okay.
01:11:39Jerry, grab the car keys.
01:11:41We'll leave soon.
01:11:43Me too.
01:11:45What about Fiona?
01:11:47She wants to spend
01:11:49some time with Noah.
01:11:55This better not take too long.
01:11:57I got work to do.
01:11:59Let's stop pretending
01:12:01that's true, hmm?
01:12:03When we get back,
01:12:05I need you to cook the veggies
01:12:07and bake the rolls and dessert.
01:12:09Ashlyn?
01:12:13How were you ever planning
01:12:15to pay for my tuition
01:12:17when you have Jerry's gambling debt?
01:12:19You were gonna pay for her tuition?
01:12:21You have a lot of nerve.
01:12:23You didn't answer my question.
01:12:25And I don't have to.
01:12:27Do you even love Bruce?
01:12:29Or is he just a bank account to you?
01:12:31Get out.
01:12:33How could you lie to me?
01:12:35I didn't.
01:12:37I was going to pay for your tuition.
01:12:39You were? And now?
01:12:41Things change.
01:12:43No, no.
01:12:45They're the same as always.
01:13:01Can you show me how to hold this?
01:13:03I already did that.
01:13:05I mean, how to hit it.
01:13:07I did that too.
01:13:09Just try your best
01:13:11and take a shot.
01:13:19Whoops!
01:13:21Guess you'll have to teach me again.
01:13:23We're back!
01:13:25Need any help?
01:13:27No, no. You relax. We'll take care of it all.
01:13:29Is Ashlyn outside?
01:13:31No.
01:13:33Well, where is she?
01:13:35We, uh, had a little argument.
01:13:37She stayed in town to cool off.
01:13:39Is everything alright?
01:13:41It will be.
01:13:43What did you do?
01:13:45Oh, uh...
01:13:47It's Ashlyn's fault.
01:13:49She just wants to use Bruce for his money.
01:13:51Mom found out and confronted her.
01:13:53That doesn't sound like her.
01:13:55All she cares about is finding someone
01:13:57to pay off her tuition.
01:13:59Miriam?
01:14:01I'm sorry, Bruce.
01:14:03I thought we could
01:14:05keep this side of her away from you.
01:14:07Well, this is...
01:14:09certainly unexpected.
01:14:11Dad!
01:14:13Why don't we just try
01:14:15and set this aside for now?
01:14:17Fiona, Jerry,
01:14:19come help in the kitchen.
01:14:21Not now.
01:14:37Ashlyn!
01:14:39Are you alright?
01:14:41I'm fine.
01:14:43Where have you been?
01:14:47It doesn't matter.
01:14:49Listen,
01:14:51while you were gone, Miriam said some things.
01:14:53What else is new?
01:14:55I don't believe her, but you should know what's going on.
01:14:57I think that'll only make me more upset.
01:14:59What happened?
01:15:01I need to go,
01:15:03but, uh...
01:15:05thanks for caring.
01:15:19Okay.
01:15:39Where do you think you're going?
01:15:41The airport.
01:15:43Then home.
01:15:45No, you'll stay.
01:15:47To sell the lie
01:15:49that we're some happy family?
01:15:51To help you pretend that you've treated me like
01:15:53anything close to your own child?
01:15:55You would have been better with a cardboard cutout.
01:15:57Maybe I should have ordered one.
01:15:59You love to act like
01:16:01you've had such a hard life.
01:16:03I don't think you realize
01:16:05how lucky you are.
01:16:07Lucky?
01:16:09I guess I have been in some ways.
01:16:11I left my home,
01:16:13my father's home,
01:16:15my life for myself.
01:16:17It's not perfect, but it's mine.
01:16:19And then you just had to have me come along.
01:16:21Do you only
01:16:23want me here so you can make me feel small again?
01:16:25Oh, spare me.
01:16:27I should have known better than to think
01:16:29you'd ever really help me.
01:16:31Pay my tuition?
01:16:33Why would you ever do that when you've never spent a dime
01:16:35of your own or my father's
01:16:37money on me before?
01:16:39Now with Jerry's gambling,
01:16:41you expect Bruce to bail both of you out?
01:16:43We had a deal.
01:16:45Which you broke.
01:16:47I owe you nothing.
01:16:49Your father chose me, Ashlyn.
01:16:51For better or for worse,
01:16:53that means something.
01:16:55No.
01:16:57It doesn't.
01:16:59Maybe if he was still here,
01:17:01things would have been different.
01:17:03But the moment he was gone,
01:17:05you showed your true colors.
01:17:09You only see your perspective.
01:17:13I've tried to see yours for years.
01:17:15And the only thing I can think of
01:17:17is that you just can't help putting me down
01:17:19so you can stand a little higher.
01:17:33We should talk.
01:17:37All this time, you've spoken of her
01:17:39as if she were a real daughter to you.
01:17:41What else was a lie?
01:17:43Nothing. You weren't there.
01:17:45I wish I had been.
01:17:47What's worse is you don't even see what you've done as being wrong.
01:17:49Listen, everything will be just fine.
01:17:51I know how your dad can apologize
01:17:53and Mom will totally forgive him.
01:17:55He's not the one that needs to apologize.
01:17:57We'll talk to him.
01:17:59He can figure out another way to pay for it.
01:18:01Miriam, I'm not worried about Jerry or the money.
01:18:03It's you and your manipulative schemes.
01:18:11Dad?
01:18:13Do you see my keys?
01:18:17Ashlyn went to the airport.
01:18:19She did?
01:18:21Let's go find her.
01:18:25What are the other options for changing the ticket?
01:18:27How much is that?
01:18:31Um...
01:18:33What about the later flight?
01:18:35Ashlyn!
01:18:37I'm so sorry. Can I call you back?
01:18:39Thanks.
01:18:41Noah?
01:18:43Don't go.
01:18:45I don't think I can stay.
01:18:47Please.
01:18:49Let's go somewhere and talk.
01:18:53I should have told you about Miriam.
01:18:55It's your past.
01:18:57Maybe it's none of my business.
01:18:59I can at least understand
01:19:01why it would have been hard for you to share anything.
01:19:03Still.
01:19:05I shouldn't have come
01:19:07just for her promise of help with my tuition.
01:19:09Glad you did.
01:19:11I wouldn't have met you if you hadn't.
01:19:13That should have been my first clue.
01:19:15Never meeting you.
01:19:17Miriam always had an excuse.
01:19:19I'm sorry I didn't see.
01:19:21Even Noah noticed.
01:19:23I just
01:19:25didn't want to think
01:19:27she could have been such a different person
01:19:29than I thought.
01:19:31What will happen now?
01:19:33I don't know.
01:19:35It's made me doubt if Miriam ever
01:19:37really loved me.
01:19:39But the house is paid for for a few more days.
01:19:41Noah and I plan to
01:19:43stay and make the most of this.
01:19:45I hope you'll stay too.
01:19:47Thank you.
01:19:49Should we head back
01:19:51to the villa?
01:19:53Let's.
01:19:55Bruce.
01:19:57I saw the way
01:19:59Miriam talked to you.
01:20:01And how she looked at you.
01:20:03I've never seen her
01:20:05so...
01:20:07I think she does
01:20:09love you.
01:20:11Maybe she does.
01:20:13But without trust.
01:20:15I don't think love is enough.
01:20:27Bruce.
01:20:34I'm gonna head to bed.
01:20:36Good night.
01:20:47Good night, Miriam.
01:20:55I apologize
01:20:57for being so last minute, but
01:20:59we're gonna have to cancel.
01:21:01Thanks, Pastor, for understanding.
01:21:03At least this way you don't have to worry
01:21:05about any doves in the church.
01:21:07Okay. Bye-bye.
01:21:09I appreciate it. Thanks.
01:21:15You two look busy.
01:21:17Yeah, we've been calling people all morning
01:21:19to let them know the wedding's off.
01:21:21The guests, the caterer, the church,
01:21:23the decorator.
01:21:25Anything I can do to help?
01:21:27We've got it covered.
01:21:29Where's Miriam?
01:21:31Packing.
01:21:41What do you want?
01:21:43You're leaving.
01:21:45Yes. Happy?
01:21:47None of this
01:21:49makes me happy.
01:21:51Too late for take-backs.
01:21:53I guess so.
01:21:55I need to finish packing.
01:21:57I'll call the ambulance if you don't mind.
01:21:59Our flight leaves soon.
01:22:03Fine.
01:22:07There's a lot
01:22:09that neither one of us can take back or change.
01:22:11And even if we could,
01:22:13I don't know if you'd want to.
01:22:15But if you did,
01:22:17I'd be okay with that.
01:22:19I'd want to
01:22:23let it all go.
01:22:27Yeah.
01:22:41The car's here.
01:22:43Take care, Noah.
01:22:47You can call, you know,
01:22:49any time.
01:22:51Oh. Um, okay.
01:22:57Bye, Fiona.
01:22:59Jerry.
01:23:01Let's go.
01:23:05Well, uh,
01:23:09we don't want to be late.
01:23:11Miriam.
01:23:27Pipers.
01:23:43Hey.
01:23:45How are you feeling?
01:23:47I don't know.
01:23:49Trying to figure that out.
01:23:51I don't want them to hate me,
01:23:53but I don't know
01:23:55I don't want them to hate me,
01:23:57but
01:23:59I can't control that either.
01:24:01You're too sweet to hate.
01:24:05You know, um,
01:24:07ever since the first day we met,
01:24:09I couldn't help but want to be around you.
01:24:11Me?
01:24:15Look at all that you've done,
01:24:17all that you're working towards.
01:24:19You inspire me.
01:24:21And, uh,
01:24:23you deserve to succeed and be happy.
01:24:27Thanks.
01:24:29That's really nice of you,
01:24:31but...
01:24:33What?
01:24:35I don't want anyone's pity.
01:24:37Ashton.
01:24:41I don't feel anything like pity for you.
01:24:45I care about you.
01:24:47I admire you.
01:24:49And I'm falling in love with you.
01:24:51You are?
01:24:53It might be crazy not to.
01:24:55I mean, is...
01:24:57Is that okay?
01:24:59Yes.
01:25:01Yes, that's... that's more than okay.
01:25:05I've never felt like
01:25:07I could be honest about who I am
01:25:09or my life.
01:25:11To be me
01:25:13without waiting for someone to put me down.
01:25:15Until now.
01:25:19You're amazing.
01:25:21You know that?
01:25:23Sorry.
01:25:45Well, one benefit
01:25:47of the baker's no return policy is this.
01:25:49Ta-da! Nice.
01:25:51Noah, help me hand this out.
01:25:53There you go.
01:25:55Yes, and in this heat
01:25:57we better eat it quickly.
01:25:59So should we just go for it then?
01:26:01Yeah, it's my cake, isn't it?
01:26:03Yes, it is. So what are we celebrating here?
01:26:05To the future.
01:26:07With all sorts of possibilities.
01:26:09I like that.
01:26:11To the future.
