- [Barista] All ready
for Foliage Fest?

Oh, I'm gettin' there.

Couldn't do it without my first
pumpkin latte of the season.

- [Barista] This
one's on us, Tom.

Oh, thank you very much.

me to come home ♪

We're gonna start with a bang.

Instagram Reel's local
and national TV spots,

all to celebrate the
launch of "Vampire Rising."

I am telling you, Amy,
this is your time.

- From your lips-

- To "The New York
Times" Bestseller List?

Okay, now you're jinxing me.

- Do you think publishing
today calls just anyone,

"The next Stephen King?"

- Oh!
- They do not.

- Look, I don't mean
to sound ungrateful,

it's just you know
how nerve wracking

a new book release can be.

I do maybe one a week.

As an agent.

It's different as a writer.

This has been my dream
since I was a kid,

writing short stories
in spiral notebooks.

Now here I am, releasing
the third book in my series.

Is this really happening?

- Pinch yourself.
(Amy squeals)

And keep your calendar open.

The tour doesn't
start for a few days,

but there is a solid chance

for some TV appearances
in the interim.

Maybe even "Hey, Good Day."

You're kidding?

Would I joke about
national publicity?

Take the weekend to relax.

(throat clears)
You're gonna need it.

- Oh, that much I have
covered (chuckles).

(soft music)

(ringtone playing)

Mom?

First off, everyone's fine.

- Okay, you only say that
when something's wrong.

Good point.

Your grandpa was
driving to get a coffee

and he went into the
front of the store.

- Okay, he does
that all the time.

No, honey, he drove his truck

right into the
front of the store.

- We're at the hospital.
- The hospital?

Is Grandpa okay?

- He has a sprained wrist
and he's a little shaken up.

Lillian, I'm fine.

I'm fine. I'm okay.

- Okay, you and Mom need to
work on your definition of fine.

Are you sure you're all right?

- I'd like to say you
should see the other guy,

but the other guy is
the coffee shop window.

- (sighs) Well, luckily your
old truck can handle anything.

Well, not this time.

You totaled the truck?

- I was waving to
Cindy Bloomfield.

I'm never doing that again.

I'm just (groans)...

- Well, I'm grateful
that you're doin' okay.

Look, don't worry about me.

- Hey-
- Grandpa, I...

- We say goodbye in
this family, Dad.

- And she called me.
- I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

(Amy sighs)
(playful music)

- [Maggie] Get
ready, Autumnboro,

Foliage Fest starts today.

People come from far and wide

to watch the changing
of the leaves.

It's gonna be a total gas,
just like this next song.

♪ I got burnin' feet
from hot asphalt ♪

♪ A voice within me
tells me don't go home ♪

♪ So I run until
my feet give out ♪

♪ I jump a little higher
to clear the ground ♪

♪ Sometimes I find
a sweet shop ♪

♪ And I start to drive streets ♪

♪ That no longer are my own ♪

♪ I keep drivin' your way home ♪

(music fades)

Twice daily, with food.

Oh, I hate drugs.

- Oh-
- Grandpa.

[Lillian] Amy!

How'd you get here so fast?

- Oh, sweetheart, I
told you I was fine.

It's a good thing

that your granddaughter's
just as stubborn as you are.

Oh (chuckles).

- Let's give Tom a moment so
we can get him checked out.

- Oh, okay.
- Of course.

We'll be right outside, Dad.

[Tom] Hm.

- Oh (sighs).
(phone chimes)

(gentle music)

Well, despite his protests I
know he's glad you're here.

Grandpa hasn't changed a bit.

- You mean that in
a good way, right?

- (sighs) I'm glad
that he's doing better

aside from the sprained wrist,

but letting go of our past-

- You're only here for
a short visit, honey.

Maybe you could just
forget all that other stuff

for a couple of days.

- Forget that he
withdrew his offer

to pay for my college
once I decided to write?

Yeah, that's kind of
a hard thing to bury.

I know, but you know how badly

he wanted you to go
to business school

and one day takeover
Pumpkin Everything.

- If only had turned that
wish into an ultimatum.

Not one of his finest moments.

[Amy] No.

(playful music)

Okay.

- But like you said,
it's a short visit.

- No need to dig up the past.
- Hm.

- Okay, this wheelchair
is just a formality.

(phone chimes)

- Oh (sighs), they are
staging my new listing.

- I have to take this.
- Oh, go ahead, go ahead.

- I've got everything, Mom.
- Sorry.

- All right, Tom,
you know the drill.

No lifting, lots of rest,
follow up visit in one week.

Aye, aye, Captain.

And this time around,

I want you to actually
follow doctor's orders.

[Tom] (grunts) Yes.

This this time around?

Huh.

Okay.

- Yeah, okay.
- Oh, there she is.

- Oh, bye.
(phone beeps)

Oh!
(phone chimes)

Oh, my client.

"Staging makes the
house look cramped."

One more call, and that's it.

Why don't you get
caught up one work

and I'll take Grandpa home?

- Are you sure?
- Of course.

Aw, Dad, I am so sorry.

(chuckles) Okay, later gators.

This is great.

Come on, we can go by the store.

Yeah, you know,

why don't we visit Pumpkin
Everything tomorrow?

That way we can get
some rest, yeah?

Come on, gimme a...

I can show you all
the changes I made.

(nurse's throat clears)

Right, car.

You know what?

Hold that thought (chuckles).

That's my granddaughter.

- Oh no, The Golden
Kettle closed?

Yeah, end of last summer.

Oh.

- Patty, she lasted
as long as she could

before she had to retire.

And no one took it over?

The hash browns
alone were legendary.

- Yeah, it's sad to see another
family business go down.

She always thought
that son of hers, uh...

- Jesse.
- Jesse, yeah.

- Yeah.
- That he would take

the reins, but (sighs)...

- Well, I'd say Jesse's plenty
busy with his acting career.

He's been in two huge
films this year alone.

Flash in the pan.

10 years of showin' up

and he's got no guarantee
of future employment.

Just...

- So, the nurse at the hospital,
is she a friend of yours?

Absolutely not.

Why?

- Oh, I thought
it was just funny

the way she worded that
phrase telling you to,

"Listen this time around."

She probably had me mistaken

for some other good
lookin' old fella.

Oh, right (laughs).

While we're runnin' around

maybe we could do a coupla
errands for Foliage Fest.

I heard on the radio today's

the first day of the festival.

- Yeah.
- Mm hm.

- Can't finish off the
week without a visit

to Pumpkin Everything's
Night Cap, ah!

- Are you sure
you're up for that?

It's not a lot of things.

It's just a short list.

I mean, Night Cap.

Maybe just this once
another shop could host.

- 30 year anniversary and you
want it to go somewhere else?

Over my dead body.

Mm, too soon.

What?

Nothing.

(gentle music)

(gasps) Caramel apples!

- Yeah, the only true way
to kick off Foliage Fest.

(chuckles) How could I forget?

Come, on my treat.

Yeah?

- Thank you.
- This is on me, Tom.

Oh, well thank you.

- You have a great day.
- You too.

Mm.

Yes, so good (chuckles).

Okay, so if I remember
correctly, day two is Apple Harvest.

- Followed by day three,
A Taste of Autumnboro.

I love that one.

- And day four, which is-

The Scarecrow Night.

- Uh huh.
- Yes.

- So you can stick
around for a couple days

and dust off your
scarecrow-building acumen?

- Well, my promotional work
from my book tour starts.

- Wait, that's
what's stopping you?

- Well, the release of "Vampire
Rising's" a pretty big deal.

"Vampire Rising?"

- Yeah, it's the third
book in my series.

The second book ended with
Dmitri's supposed final demise,

but now he's back
by reader demand.

- Well, I'm sure
some of your readers

would understand if you were

to cut a couple of
dates, you know?

It's a national tour,

so I was lucky I was
able to get away at all.

Well, I guess I timed

my little accident
perfectly, didn't I?

- Oh, no, I didn't
mean it like that.

- It's just-
- Yeah.

- Just something about
this book feels different.

It's like all my hard
work's finally paying off.

(Tom scoffs)

I even have a bit of
a following, actually.

Hm.

But you know what?

Let's make the most
of the time we have,

see how you're gettin' along.

- I don't need anyone to,
"See how I'm gettin' along."

(Tom grunting)
(Amy sighs)

(gentle music)

Look, I don't have to tell you

that Pumpkin Everything's
always been my big dream.

[Amy] Well, it looks pretty.

- The store always
draws a pretty big crowd

this time of year.

We're gonna put up
a lot more lights.

You can't have too many lights.

- Looks to me like
you're head of schedule.

I love the new setup.

Yeah.

Couple of more bales of hay

and a few really good
lookin' scarecrows.

- Did you do all
this on your own?

Yeah.

In the middle of a heatwave.

I almost expired twice.

(Amy sighs)

(chuckles) No, I didn't.

No, no.

I hardly raised a finger.

Kit did most of the work.

Kit, as in Kit Parker?

Yeah.

Remember how you two
were almost inseparable?

- I haven't seen him
since high school.

- Yeah, it's amazing
how the years

just melt away when you
meet an old friend again.

- Even if I was the one who
caused the Arctic freeze?

Well, why not give it a try?

Here, have a look.

(gentle music)

Kit.

Amy.

Hi.

(Kit chuckles)

- I didn't know you
were bringin' company.

(Tom chuckles)

Oh, you haven't changed a bit.

And you look grown up.

I had to grow up sometime.

- Oh, it looks like you're
all stocked up for the season.

Yeah.

Yeah.

- Can't get through
autumn without

a visit to Pumpkin Everything.

Kit's gotta set up for
another record breaking month.

- Well, to be fair all
I did was order stuff.

Still modest as ever.

- Yeah, but where are the
pumpkin spice candles?

They're a proprietary blend.

People come from
everywhere to buy those.

Yeah, I put 'em in the back.

Look, I know you usually
put 'em out front,

but I was thinkin' since
they sell out every year,

why not put the new
merchandise out front?

- So people have to
go through the store

to get to them and see
all the other merchandise.

I like it.

- [Maggie] And now one
final Girl Group track

before I skedaddle.

- What did I tell
you about playing

that Oakwood dribble here, huh?

(sighs) I'm gonna put on
something much more appropriate.

Hm.

Tom's not the biggest fan

of the local retirement
home's radio station.

Hm, yeah.

Let me guess, he says it's

- "Too many old people."
- "Too many old people."

- But he did agree to
move the merchandise

from its usual designated
spot, so that's progress.

- Are you saying
Tom's set in his ways?

- Maybe just a
little (chuckles).

Yeah.

- But he is, he's lucky to
have you around to help.

I'm the lucky one.

Your grandpa gave me
a shot on this job

and everyone else
had given up on me.

(soft jazzy music)

(Kit chuckles)

(Amy chuckles)

- Now that, that's what
Pumpkin Everything's

supposed to sound like.

- Okay, you've done your
good deed for the day.

I think it's time you go home.

- Oh, you're just
showin' me the gate?

- I got a hunch the doctor's
orders included rest.

- Yes, and they are
easy orders to follow

with the store in capable hands.

Let's go.

- All right.
- Come on.

Thank you.

- Try not to burn
the place down, huh?

(Amy chuckles)

No promises.

(jazzy music continues)

(jazzy music continues)

- [Amy] The place
hasn't changed a bit.

- [Tom] Yeah, it looks
good, doesn't it?

[Amy] It does.

Yeah, Kit helped with hangin'

the plants and the decorations.

- Sounds like
Kit's around a lot.

Yeah.

Ever since that rough
patch he went through-

Yeah, how is he doing?

He was alone there for awhile.

He...

Yeah, he could have used
a shoulder to lean on.

Oh, I didn't mean it that way.

I...

You always brought
out the best of him.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah. Oh!

Oh, this step is loose.

- Yeah, that's kinda
part and parcel

with havin' an old
house, you know?

- Yeah, okay, but
somebody could fall.

Not if you know it's there.

- Ah, right.
- Yeah.

(gentle music)

(door closes)

(Tom sighs)

Yeah.

Obviously, I wasn't
expecting to have an accident

on my clean up the house day.

Didn't say a thing.

Yeah.

How 'bout some iced tea?

- Yeah, I'll get it.
- No, let me.

All right, extra lemon.

No sugar. I'm on it.

A little bit of sugar.

(Tom grunts)

(sighs) Okay.

(gentle music)

Oh.

(Amy sighs)

(music continues)

Can I help you find somethin'?

Oh, yeah, just a knife.

- Should be one
there in the sink.

Oh, okay.

- Yeah, this was all stuff
I was gonna get around to.

Happy to help while I'm here.

Look, I don't want you wasting

your time here doing housework.

- Normally I know you'd
have this under control,

but you do have
a sprained wrist.

(Tom sighs)
(playful music)

(gentle music)

Oh, organizing your records?

- Oh, one does not have
to organize something

that has been so
meticulously cataloged.

(chuckles) Touche.

Remember our trips to Boston?

- Larry's Records.
- Mm hm.

- And that humongous
bookstore next door.

- Oh, Acres of Books.
- Yeah.

I loved it there.

You used to say the
books were payment

for helping at
Pumpkin Everything.

I remember being so amazed
that I could be rewarded

for doing something I loved.

Yeah, Pumpkin Everything.

You used to say that you
wanted to work there forever.

You know what?

Here, let me help you
out with this laundry.

- Oh, leave that now.
- It's fine, really.

Nothing at all.

Look, I just said leave it.

Stop flittin' around.

You're makin' me nervous.

- Funny, what used to make
you nervous was a mess of a...

Fine.

(Tom groans)

Consider all household
chores officially ignored.

[Tom] Thank you.

(gentle music)

(Amy sighs)

May I (chuckles)?

Hey!

Hey.

- Thought someone was
stealin' a scarecrow.

(Amy chuckles)

Grandpa's inside.

I think he just laid
down to take a nap,

but he's probably still awake.

Oh no, I'm just comin' home.

- Tom didn't tell you?
- No.

- I'm stayin' in
the guest house.

- Well, it's nice to know
that he has someone close by.

Here, let me help you.

- Well, thank you.
- Yeah, of course.

(gentle music)

All right, come on in.

Oh, wow.

Looks like Grandpa's fall
decor took over your spot.

What do you mean?

This is all mine.

(Amy chuckles)

Really?

Well, the last
time I was in here,

it was full of jazz memorabilia.

- Yeah, it took a
little negotiating.

[Amy] Yeah.

- Hey, can I get
ya an apple cider?

Oh, sure.

You know, the more I see of
Grandpa and how he's doing,

the more serendipitous your
involvement in his life seems.

- Well, the Tom that
you are seeing today

is way more open to
adapting his life

than he was a year ago.

- You've been at
the shop that long?

- Yeah, first three months
wouldn't let me touch a thing.

(Amy chuckles)

Thank you.

So, how's he doing?

On his own you mean?

Yeah.

- I think Tom puts
up a good front.

Some days he has
more energy than me.

(Amy chuckles)

Others it's a bit
more of a struggle.

Mm.

Yeah, part of me wants
to take the good days

as a sign that
nothing's changed.

But we both know better.

Yeah.

I know, I worry about him too.

- There has to be
something I could do.

- You already are,
by being here.

(Amy sighs)

But this change, Tom
has to make by himself.

Join me on the porch?

Sure.

(gentle music)

You said earlier that my Grandpa

gave you a chance who
no one else would.

See, I knew those words would

come back to haunt me
the minute I said 'em.

- (laughs) Well, that's
me, predictable as ever.

- You saw what I was
like senior year,

after my mom died.

I landed at one bad
decision after another.

But even as I was destroying
every relationship

that I had in this town,

your grandpa never
gave up on me.

- Maybe we should
grab drinks tomorrow.

You know, catch up
before I head back?

How 'bout a coffee?

I quit drinkin' years ago.

Oh, that's great.

Congratulations.

Thanks.

- Here we were, best friends
and now I'm realizing

how little I actually
know about you.

Just remember the good stuff.

I do when I read
one of your books.

(laughs) Oh, wow.

I owe you big time for suffering

through all my handwritten
stories in school.

[Kit] Come on.

See, I knew even back then you
were gonna be a huge success.

- Well, you were the
only one back then.

Yeah.

Even after all this time,

my grandpa still sees
my writing as a hobby.

- Yeah, 'cause he wants
you here at the store.

Tom has dreams, too.

Well, thank you for this.

I should get going.

All right.

Oh, careful on that last step.

- Thanks, yeah, I
noticed that earlier.

- Yeah, I thought I had
fixed that after Tom's fall.

Some issue with the foundation.

What fall?

- When he was carrying
groceries, he fell off the step.

Your mom didn't tell you?

No (sighs).

(no audio)

(mellow music)

- You were on a
deadline with your book.

I didn't wanna alarm you.

- Well, next time
please, alarm me.

- If he had been more seriously
hurt, I would've told you,

but really honey, what
could you have done?

I feel so powerless.

- (chuckles)
Welcome to the club.

I've made suggestions
on retirement homes

and gotten angry at his refusal
to admit that he needs help.

We even...

We even went a couple of
weeks without speaking.

You never told me that.

'Cause I felt like I failed.

So, I had to make a choice,

either bear my dad's resentment
over my constant nagging,

which isn't very fun by the way,

or enjoy the time we have.

(phone chimes)

If that is Luke from Coffee
Culture again, so help me.

Dad's barely out of the hospital

and here's this guy
already demanding money.

Hang on. This time it's me.

Oh!

- My agent just booked
a signing in Boston

at Acres of Books.

Acres of...

Is that the shop that your
grandpa always took you to?

- Yeah.
- Oh, honey.

I'm so proud of you.

What?

Well...

- Okay, well, maybe I
haven't always been on board

with your pursuit
of a writing career,

but you've proven me wrong.

- Well, I knew I made
it once you invited me

to speak at your book club.

- Really?
- Mm hm.

- That was your sign?
- Yep.

- Not having a
national bestseller?

- Approval from you and
Grandpa outshines any of that.

Aw.

- I guess one outta
two's not bad.

- Hey, your grandpa
approves of you.

- But then why is it
less than one day home

and I'm that same 18 year
old who left Autumnboro

letting him down all over again?

- Oh, honey, okay,
you listen to me.

What you need to do is focus
on your book tour, okay?

I can handle all this.

It's too much, even for you.

(Lillian chuckles)

Now that I think about it,

it's too much for the
both of us combined.

(mischievous music)

(Amy chuckles)
(Lillian chuckles)

(gentle music)

- Oh, hi.
- Hey there.

(vendor chattering)

(shutter flashing)
(Amy chuckles)

(music continues)

A stocking cap already?

Are you gettin' weak on us?

Okay, first of all, it's cold.

Second, I'm feeling
the fall vibes.

Well, Tom just stepped out.

Should be back in a few.

- Oh great, enough
time for coffee.

Hot and ready.

Ah, the place looks great.

Wow, the mailman must love you.

Those are online orders.

Tom let me set up an ordering
site jus in time for fall.

Online orders?

He didn't even have an email
address until last year.

- I guess I have
the magic touch.

Oh (chuckles)!

- With everything except
for that window display.

Yeah.

- Will you give me
a hand with this?

Oh, of course.

Here.

- This is gonna come in handy.
- Okay, just stay...

- Grab that.
- Yeah.

- [Amy] It's all
about delicate touch.

- Sure, I'm telling you-
- Oh, look at this.

The dream team back
together again.

You know it.

Look at these,
these are so cute!

- Oh yeah, I got those
at a garage sale.

What, are you kidding me?

You walked right by the box.

- It's true.
(Amy chuckles)

He pointed them out to me.

(all chuckling)

Look, I'll leave you two.

- Oh, actually,
I was here t o see

if you'd join me for lunch?

If you're paying, yeah.

(inhales) Impossible.

Have fun.

(playful music)

- So good seeing you
and Kit reconnecting.

- All I did was help
with the display.

- Well, you know there
was a time in this town

when everyone thought that
you two would end up together.

- You mean the town of
Tom Adams, population one?

Yeah (chuckles), yeah.

So, where are we headed?

52 Maple Crest Drive.

What, my place?

Yeah.

I thought this one was on you.

It is on me.

I found this amazing company.

They grocery shop, they
prep meals, they clean.

Your house got a complete
overhaul this morning.

- I didn't give you
permission to do that.

I knew you'd say no.

Then why did you do it?

I wanted you to see that there

are other options out there.

- I don't like
strangers in my home.

They're professionals.

Look, they even have an app.

See?

- An app?
- Yeah.

I don't need an app.

Maybe you need an app
so you can feel better

about not showin' up.

(Amy scoffs)
(somber music)

Wait, where are you going?

- I'm gonna go make sure
they're not robbin' me blind.

(Amy sighs)

Seriously?

(Amy sighs)

(gentle music)

Good afternoon, Tom.

Not today it isn't.

(music continues)

Grandpa?

(Tom groans)

Grandpa?

At least let me drive you.

You wanna walk three miles?

(Tom grunts)

I won't say a word.

(playful music)

(Tom grunts)

(Amy inhales)
(music continues)

Don't say a word.

Oh!

What's that smell?

Did you have the
place fumigated?

- Would you look at the
sheen on those floors?

- Yeah, well here's hopin'
I don't slip on 'em, huh?

Did you notice the windows?

They're so clean it's
like we're outside.

Oh, and your records.

It's exactly as you left them.

- Now this, this is supposed
to be right up front here.

- Okay, so one photo
is outta place,

but was anything stolen, huh?

Look, even your
books are in order.

(gasps) You own a
copy of "Night Hero?"

- Vampire stories are not
normally my cup of tea,

but the fact that
my granddaughter's a published author,

that's usually a pretty
good conversation starter.

- Glad to know I'm
worth few brag points.

- (sighs) Look, I know
you brought the cleaners

in here to support me,
but you were out of line.

I don't like
strangers in my home.

Oh, the company pairs cleaners

with their clients
for the long term.

The answer's still no.

Okay, well, look,

I definitely don't wanna
be at odds with you,

but you have to see that
something has to change.

Change (chuckles)?

Most of the changes
I've experienced

in my life are not wanted.

Yeah, I know.

I really do understand.

No, there's no way you can.

For you to understand
what it's like

to be at this stage of life,

to understand what I'm
going through right now,

you're gonna have to
get here, you know?

And darlin', growin' old
aint for the faint of heart.

(Amy sighs)

(no audio)

(mellow music)

(sighs) Guess that's it.

I'm leavin' tomorrow,
what else can I do?

- Oh, we have to do
what your grandpa wants.

Let him make the decisions.

Kit said the same.

- What's it like being
around Kit again?

It's good, and weird.

Mostly 'cause we haven't
discussed how I left.

- Oh, honey, you
were both so young.

Kit just lost his mom that year.

He pretty much pushed you away.

- Yeah, but it's the time
he needed me the most,

instead I just ghosted him.

- Hey, hey, that
was understandable.

Your grandpa had just rejected
your future career plans.

- No, I felt like everyone
was against me at that point.

Aw.

- Doesn't mean I couldn't
have told Kit goodbye.

Let's go face the music.

[Amy] Oh.

(gentle music)

- All the way?
- Yeah.

Wow.

It just got 1,000% harder

to be laissez-faire about
Grandpa's decisions.

Did it ever.

You know what else is hard?

Craving a pumpkin latte
from the very place

that's hounding you nonstop
to cover these damages.

Yeah, I kinda see their point.

Maybe we could have
just one pumpkin latte

to know what're
boycotting of course.

(playful music)

- There you go.
- Thank you, honey.

It's on me.

Two large pumpkin lattes,

and let me see Luke
while you're at it.

Luke's the owner?

- Whichever Luke is threatening
to sue an octogenarian.

Yes, Luke, the owner, please.

Aren't you the one
who always says

you can catch more
flies with honey?

- Yes, but it'll be such a
release to let this guy have it.

How can I help you ladies?

Well, for starters you can...

(soft music)

Hello.

I apologize for my appearance,

I was in back helping
with the donuts.

- How refreshing to see an
owner who's so hands on.

- Were you waiting for
the apple cider donuts?

They're almost ready.

Yes.

No, I...

Forgive me, Luke.

I...

(Lillian gasps)

Where are my manners?

Hello, I'm Lillian.

Oh.

- Your shop is beautiful.
- Oh, thank you.

Well, except for
the (chuckles)...

(Lillian laughs)

Can I offer you some samples?

- You certainly can (laughs).
(ringtone playing)

- We have got a whole bunch
of things to choose from.

- Hello?
(Luke chattering faintly)

Are you sitting down?

No, I'm waiting for a coffee.

Okay, fine, stand,

but don't say I
did not warn you.

Guess who just
booked a spot to talk

all about her new novel
on "Hey, Good Day?"

Oh, wow, we did it, Carla.

This is all you.

The producer read "Vampire
Rising" in one sitting.

- (sighs) I needed
some good news.

When?

- Early Tuesday, so
we'll book your flight

to New York for tomorrow.

Tomorrow?

Oh, I'm still in Autumnboro.

- So, hop in a car and
get back to Philly.

Now, I have a studio
booked for tomorrow

to shoot the promo for the show-

Oh, this is happening so fast.

- In all the excitement I
totally spaced on the meeting.

Call me when you're back.

Bye.

- Wait, Carla!
(line beeps)

(Amy sighs)

- [Barista] Two
large pumpkin lattes.

Oh great, thank you.

You know what?

Actually, I will take
one more pumpkin latte

for the lady over there when
she's done with her discussion.

(Lillian giggling)

I'll just take these, thank you.

Bye, Mom.

- Tootles (laughs).
(Luke laughs)

Let me get that for ya.

Oh, you work out I see.

(jazzy music playing)

(Amy sighs)

Hey, there.

Pumpkin spice latte?

Thanks.

- We were supposed to grab
that coffee later today,

but I just got word
that I need to head back

to Philadelphia sooner
than expected, so...

You improvised?

- Yeah, yeah, what
you and I did best,

and we kept each
other so entertained,

like creating our
own mysteries and-

- Hiding and then
finding the clues later.

(Amy chuckles)

Do you remember
the puppet shows?

How could I forget?

I swear, putting those on is
what inspired me to write.

- Yeah, but then I had all
these lines to memorize.

[Amy and Kit] No cue cards.

(Amy laughs)

I snuck a few in.

- (sighs) We were best friends,
Kit, and I let that go.

I should have been there
for you after your mom

had her heart attack
and everything that you went through,

but instead I ran.

I never saw it that way.

You had to leave to
pursue your writing.

No, I was young and selfish

and I associated
everything in this town

with the burden of expectation.

Even me?

- Watching you grieve,
seeing you struggle,

it gutted me to know
that there was nothing

I could do to make you better.

And you thought if you stayed,

those feelings would
settle into you?

- I regret not
showing up for you,

so much so that I wasn't sure

that I'd ever be able
to face you again.

Amy, I understand.

How can you?

It was a long time ago.

We're older now, and
I'd like to think

that we've learned from
what life has handed us.

But one thing was always true.

Yes, I missed you,

but I never expected
you to fix me.

I just wish I could have done,

I don't know, something.

- All right, let's say
you stayed in Autumnboro.

(Amy sighs)

Your sense of obligation, as
great of a trait as that is,

it would've had you
running Pumpkin Everything.

And we forget your writing'd
be in the backseat,

it'd be out in the
ditch somewhere.

I should have known that you

of all people would understand.

- You're not as complicated
as you think you are.

(Amy chuckles)

- Any chance we can
be friends again?

- Hm, that would
require more lattes,

a few more visits.

Fair enough.

Hug to seal the deal?

- How can I say no?
(Amy chuckles)

Come here.

(gentle music)

(music continues)

Hey, safe drive to Philly.

Thanks.

(music continues)

(music continues)

(engine starting)

(Amy sighs)

- Hey, sorry to
keep you waiting.

What can I do for ya?

(singer vocalizing on radio)

- [Maggie] You're
listening to Oakwood FM,

radio by seniors for everyone.

Everyone but Grandpa.

- You know, I'd feel a
whole lot better about it

if you were to tell me
you weren't leavin'.

I'm not.

Not yet anyway.

There's something I want
us to do before I leave.

You just have to bring your
records and an open mind.

So, you extended your visit

to drag me off to an
assisted living facility?

It's a retirement village.

- Oh, and I thought
you were gonna say

it was like a community
of active seniors.

- Okay, semantics
aside we're not here

to go on a tour or
anything like that.

We're here for an opportunity.

- What do you mean
an opportunity?

- Let's have a great
day at Oakwood, people.

Get out and look
at those leaves.

Hey, you must be Amy, and Tom?

Rock on.

I'm Maggie.

- Thanks for letting us
visit on such short notice.

When I heard you might
have an open DJ spot,

I knew just the guy.

In fact, both of us are big fans

of your Girl Group Afternoon.

You host Girl Group Afternoon?

- I only agreed to
it on the condition

that they let me do
classic rock every Friday.

- Well, Grandpa has a
playlist for every occasion.

Well, let's see what you got.

- I'm a bit of a
jazz aficionado.

I have some Ellington and
some Coltrane and Davis,

and a smattering of
Charlie Parker mixed in.

- Sounds like a pretty
sweet collection.

- I never graduated
past disk, you know?

It looks like a pretty
highfalutin setup you've got there.

Oh, well, you know,

some of our younger newbies
are all about the MP3s.

- Yeah.
- But if you ask me,

nothin' beats that warm
crackle of needle on vinyl.

- You know?
- Couldn't agree more.

- (chuckles) You're
gonna fit in just fine.

We can work on a couple
broadcasts together,

get your feet wet.

That sounds great.

- Then once you're all
unpacked and settled,

I'll put you on the schedule.

Unpacked, settled?

Didn't Amy tell you?

DJ spots are for residents only.

(Tom groans)

Thank you. Sorry.

♪ Oo, you should know ♪

♪ The better things in
life that are free ♪

- Oh, come on!
- No, no, absolutely not.

Nothing else has to change.

You can come and
go as you please.

No, no.

Just stop and look around.

There's a post
office, a coffee shop.

There's even a little market.

- I have all of those
amenities where I am now.

- But do you have
a community pool,

or a neon lit bowling alley?

I mean, I wanna live here.

- So these are carrots you're
dangling in front of me, huh?

Like that DJ job?

All I want you to see

is that not everything
is an absolute.

You can be a part of this

and still live
your everyday life.

- These amenities
come at a hefty price.

- I might have checked
the value of your home.

Well, here's a surprise.

I visited Oakwood last spring.

You did?

And I got my house appraised,

and with even selling the home

that I've been in all my
life, I can't afford this.

It's unsustainable.

- You could always
sell the store.

Selling Pumpkin Everything

would give you more than
enough to live comfortably.

- So, you want me
to just walk away

from something I put
my whole life into?

Grandpa, I know that you wanna

make this change
on your own terms,

but you can't wait for
this perfect moment

that might not happen.

Wow.

- At some point you will
have to let the store go.

Fool that I am, huh?

Here I thought somebody
was gonna step in

and grab the reins and
take it home for me.

I guess not.

(somber music)
(Amy sighs)

All right, you're all set.

Thanks for stoppin' by.

Didn't we say goodbye yesterday?

I mean, I'm glad
you're still here.

So was I for a moment there.

- I think now's a good time
for me to take my lunch.

You know what, Kit?

What would you say if I
told you that Tom here

has an offer to be a
regular DJ on Oakwood Radio?

- I would say I'd
listen every day.

Right?

And Kit, what would you say

if I was to tell
you that she thinks

she could wave her magic wand
and just simplify my life?

- Only because you
make it more difficult

than it needs to be.

Uh huh.

(playful music)

(exhales) I am starving.

(ringtone playing)
(Amy exclaims)

Hello?

- [Carla] Tell me
you're back in Philly.

Not yet, but I will be soon.

- Okay, is that a Carla
Molina 10 minutes ago soon

or an Amy Fox, "I need one
more week on the manuscript?"

Before you answer, keep in
mind that I have stylist,

a cameraman, and a producer
all awaiting your return.

Somewhere in the middle.

- Is that what you want me
to tell "Hey, Good Day?"

Of course not.

Real talk, Amy.

I cannot promote a book
without the actual author.

Yeah.

You know what, let
me handle this.

(phone beeps)
(bright music)

Kit?

Can you show me all
your best sellers?

Yes.

Great.

(Tom groans)

- There's a best seller.
- Great.

Mm hm.

(Amy inhales)

- This.
- Oh.

- Yeah.
- What about these?

- Oh, yeah.
- Yeah? Cute.

(chuckles) Okay, ready?

(bright music)

Ready?

(phone chimes)

Hi, this is Amy Fox
counting down the days

until the release
of "Vampire Rising,"

the third book in my
Dimitri North series.

While we wait to discover the
fate of our favorite vampire,

I have been spending
time in my hometown

of Autumnboro at my
grandfather's shop.

As you can tell, fall
is more than just a time

of year here at
Pumpkin Everything.

It's a way of life, savoring
the first chill in the air

to the dusk of an
early night fall.

In fact, my grandfather's
love for fall

and all the magic it brings

is what inspired
Dmitri's journey.

So, be sure to check out
"Vampire Rising" October 15th,

available online, and at
your favorite bookstore.

Did you get it (laughs)?

Yeah.

Thank you (laughs).

Great.

"How's this for starters?"

(text message whooshing)

Hm, excellent camerawork.

Well, thank you.

- That was amazing
the way you just

made that up on the run there.

Just...
(gentle music)

Well, requirements of the job.

- You know, I never really
considered how your writing

could create so much
pressure on you, just...

Well, if you love what you do,

it's worth all the
pressure in the world.

Yeah.

Yeah.

- Well, while you're waiting
for your agent to reply,

do you wanna join me on a
trip to Fall Hill Farms?

You know what?

I have not been
to Fall Hill Farms

since the last time I helped
prep for Scarecrow Night.

- And you remember
how much work it was?

'Cause in 24 hours, we
have all of Autumnboro

comin' here for the contest.

(playful music)

You go ahead.

I don't wanna
re-injure my wrist.

(Amy chuckles)

Fine, get the truck.

(Kit chuckles)
(music continues)

(no audio)

(gentle music)

Mm, it's even better
than I remember.

- Now, if we really
want a really good time,

we should join these
kids for a game of tag.

Oh, adulting's overrated.

Agreed.

But I guess we should get at it.

Fine.

You know I had it.

Any idea how we get it out?

- I don't know.
- Hm.

And now, we race.

What? No.

(Kit laughs)
(Amy squeals)

First to the post wins.

(Tom laughs)
(Amy laughs)

Come on, what do you got, Fox?

Ah! Kit!

- I-
- You all right?

Ah! Yeah, I just (laughs)...

Hey!

That's cheating!

That's it (indistinct).

(Amy laughs)
(Kit laughs)

Whew!

(phone chimes)

(kids laughing)

- "Hey, Good Day" wants
to do my interview

at Pumpkin Everything.

Oh, because of the video?

- Yeah.
- Wow.

Does that mean
you're gonna be here

for the scarecrow contest?

- My tour starts
the next morning.

- Hm, sounds to me like
someone's afraid to revive

our tradition of who can
stuff the most scarecrows?

- (laughs) I'm
actually more concerned

about your ego
suffering another blow.

I mean, you did
just lose a race.

- Come on, leave
the next morning.

I'm sure there's a rooster

or two around here
you can borrow.

(gentle music)

- You ever felt like you needed
to be at two places at once?

I think the solution to that

is deciding where you wanna be.

- In this moment,
I wanna be here.

(music continues)

(Amy sighs)

My only wish is being home,

Grandpa would finally
acknowledge my writing as a career.

- Don't let Tom's
reaction take away

from what you have accomplished.

- It's like he's
angry I succeeded.

- Writing's a part of you he
doesn't know how to relate to.

But Pumpkin Everything,

that's what you two
always had in common.

(bright music)

All right, I'm gonna push you.

Yeah.

- Ready?
(Amy laughs)

Woo (laughs)!

(music continues)

- No, I know it's
on at the same time

as your favorite game show,

but this is when the
buyer's available.

No, no, I cannot set
your DVR remotely.

Let me call you back.

(throat clears) Hi.

Hi.

- Hello.
- Allow me.

Oh, well, thank you.

For someone who's
defrauding my father,

you certainly are well mannered.

- (chuckles) That's all part
of the negotiation process.

I see.

- Listen, I hope you
won't be offended,

but I pre-ordered a
few of my favorites,

Hunter's chicken with
corn and sweet potatoes

and butternut squash ravioli.

With brown butter and sage?

You're also a fan.

- The best part of the season.
(phone chimes)

Might as well enjoy
a little dinner

while I'm being swindled.

Swindled?

Lillian, I own a coffee shop.

Any idea how many
lattes I have to sell

to repair my building
after the insurance claim?

Oh.

I really didn't give
that fair consideration.

Since my dad's accident,

I've been so wrapped up
(phone chimes)

in work that I
haven't had time...

Calling after texting.
(phone ringing)

- Can't that wait?
(phone ringing)

- This is a really,
really big listing.

I'm lucky to have it.

- I think they're
the lucky ones.

(ringing continues)

[Waitress] Here you go.

- Oh, thank you.
(ringing continues)

[Waitress] Enjoy.

(call disconnects)
(gentle music)

(Lillian's throat clears)

Now, isn't this more enjoyable

than some client phone call?

It actually is.

(Luke laughs)

Oh.

Mm.

Mm (laughs).
(Luke laughs)

- I know, it's so good.
- Huh?

(chuckles) Okay.

You have my undivided attention.

How many lattes are we talking?

(kids laughing)

- I never examined the
situation from his perspective.

Anytime that my
grandpa brought up

my involvement in Pumpkin
Everything, I just shut down.

Not unlike Tom's response

when he's talking
about your writing.

- You've become quite
perceptive in your old age.

Old age, really?

- Well, seriously, you see
everyone's needs so clearly

and understand what
makes them tick.

- I guess I'm makin'
up for lost time.

You know, I actually told myself

that I stopped callin'
it that, lost time.

After my mom passed,

you know, I wanted so bad
just to bounce back, be okay,

but I had to go through it
and grieve in my own way.

I wish I was here for you.

You tried to be.

I pushed you away.

- Yeah, but I
shouldn't have let you.

- Yeah, but there's
nothing you coulda done.

I avoided anyone who
reminded me of my mom.

I drank to numb
the pain and hurt

a lot of people along the way.

I mean, my own dad left
town to get away from me.

He wasn't gonna stand by
and watch me self destruct.

But we're talkin' again.

First time in years.

What finally changed?

Well, I don't know if it was

a light bulb ah
ha moment, really.

It was just, just
kinda came in flashes.

Hm.

- But I will never
forget the day

that I saw your first book,

"The Night Hero" displayed

in the window of
Leafing Through Books.

I was so excited for you.

But it was also a reminder
that I had missed the train.

- No, like you said earlier,
you can't regret your past.

It takes time to discover

who we are and what
we want outta life.

- (chuckles) It's
easy for you to say.

Not only did you find your
passion, you saw it to fruition.

Not entirely.

I'm discovering
there are some things

I've missed out on, too.

Oh, like what?

- No, we are on the
subject of Kit right now.

(Kit chuckles)

Mm hm.

I see.

- There has to be something
you're passionate about.

- Nothin' next level
like writin' a book.

- Oh, who said it
has to be next level?

Think about it.

If you could have anything
in life, what would it be?

- I think I'm startin' to
know the answer to that,

but it scares me a little bit.

- Well, being scared
is a good sign.

Means you're onto something.

I'm onto somethin'?

- How can I know if
you won't tell me

what that something is?

I guess time will tell.

Let's get outta here.

(gentle music)

(tailgate slams)

(music continues)

(no audio)

- Welcome back to
"Hey, Good Day."

(audience cheering)
(audience applauding)

Today we're in
Autumnboro, Vermont

with one of my new
favorite writers, Amy Fox.

Hello, Amy.

- Thank you for
having me, Holly.

I gotta tell you,

I was up all night
reading "Vampire Rising,"

and I'm shooting a
morning show here!

(all laughing)

- Well, trust me, this
book has kept me up

more than a few nights.

- "Vampire Rising" is the third
book in the Dmitri series.

What do you think will
surprise readers most?

- Well, if I told you that
no one would buy the book.

(audience laughs)

(Lillian laughs)
(Kit laughs)

Let's just say that
the Dmitri we met

at the beginning of
the series undergoes

a dramatic transformation
that will forever change

the way we view him.

Amy's a natural at this.

You're just seeing that now?

- Well, this is so
much more than writing.

She's like, self-promoting,

and she's like, handling
these off the cuff questions.

It's like she's managing
her own business, you know?

- Because that's exactly
what she is doing.

All this hoopla Amy created
without any of our help.

Yeah, yeah.

Thank you so much, Amy.

We'll be right back.

(audience cheering)
(audience applauding)

Go Amy!

(gasps) Freshly
laundered as requested.

Oh Mom, you're the best.

Lack of clean clothes
must be a sign

I've overstayed my welcome.

Are you kidding?

Four days will never
be long enough for me,

but I am curious,

what convinced you to
stay for Scarecrow Night?

- Talking with Kit
made me realize

how much I love these times,

and what I've missed
by avoiding them.

- You know, I'm learning that
life isn't all or nothing.

You get to decide which parts
of your past you wanna keep

and you can always
change your mind.

- I wish I could change
my mind about waking up

at the crack of dawn tomorrow.

There will be coffee.

(Amy chuckles)
(Lillian chuckles)

All right, ladies and gents,

welcome to Foliage Fest's
annual scarecrow contest.

(all cheering)
(all applauding)

Now, the scarecrows you
build will be eligible

for the Best Scarecrow
prize awarded

the final night of the
festival, Night Cap.

But today we host
our timed competition

to see who can build
the most scarecrows.

Oh, and I also wanted to mention

we have a former three
time champ among us.

She's also our best
selling author, Amy Fox.

(all cheering)
(all applauding)

So, I think we're all gonna
have to play our A game.

All right, everybody.

Everybody in their place?

No cheating.

(Amy laughs)

Have fun now.

Here we go.

- And-
- You ready?

Three, two, one, start.

(upbeat music)
(singer vocalizing)

- Oh, wow.
- You think you still got it?

Think? I know.

Okay.

What is this?

Oh, no!

Did somebody accidentally

put in a small
flannel in your pile?

- That's sabotage.
- I call it strategy.

(Amy giggles)

You are such a cheater.

We have one minute left.

Keep goin', now.

- Hurry!
- Oh!

[Tom] One minute left.

What?

- No (gasps)!
- I'm sorry, I needed straw.

Rude!

All right, here we go now.

In three,

two,

one,

hands up everybody, hands up.

And from my count, ah, we
have a brand new winner here.

Four scarecrows.

God, that's wonderful.

Hey, way to go.

It feels good being in

on something together
again, doesn't it?

- Yeah, everything
but the losing part.

- We still got a shot
at Best Scarecrow.

Of course, you'd have
to be at Night Cap

to receive the prize.

Yeah, I'll be mid tour.

Right.

[Amy] Congratulations.

That was very impressive effort.

(Amy speaking faintly)
(somber music)

- You know, I think today
was a record turnout.

Mm.

Just remember the scarecrow
with the blue apron

is mine and Luke's.

- (chuckles) Okay.
- It's you and Luke now?

Mm, mm hm.
(Lillian giggling)

(ringtone playing)
(phone vibrating)

Don't you need to answer that?

It's my client.

It's well after work hours.

We'll talk in the morning.

But I do need some rest.

It's time.

- Yeah, I think I'm
gonna head out, too.

Early day tomorrow.

- Well, I need to
head out tomorrow.

Right.

Safe trip home.

Yeah.

- Love you, Dad.
- I love you, darlin'.

Oh, it was a good day.

Hey.

Oh, let's just save our
goodbye for the morning.

- Yes.
- Can we do that?

- Deal.
- Oh, I love you, baby.

- I love you.
- Okay, sweet dreams.

Thank you.

(phone chiming)

What?

Did Mom forget her phone?

Oh, oh, wait a second.

That's me.

Oh, right.

Forgot to turn this thing off.

Online sales.

Oh.

- Yeah.
(phone beeps)

You may have gotten
national coverage this week,

but so did this shop.

- I think we can both
expect a sales boost.

It's more than that, darlin'.

You know, you supported
my business this week

more than I ever
supported yours.

My business?

You mean my writing?

- Because you are gonna
have a record year.

- (chuckles) Well, Kit set
up the online ordering.

- Well, you can get a
little credit, you know?

(Amy laughs)
(Tom chuckles)

But you know, people
are gonna come floodin'

into this shop and they're gonna

be wantin' copies of your books.

- My books, here?
- Mm hm.

- Well, I think I can come
up with a solve for that.

- Well, you know me, I
don't like to sell anything

that I haven't tested
and tried out myself.

- Wait, you wanna
read one of my books?

Absolutely.

I don't know.

You're always such an expert
at everything you sell,

this really wouldn't work unless
you read the entire series.

All right.

(Amy chuckles)

But I don't wanna
wait a couple of weeks

for this "Vampire Rising" book.

Well, now that I can solve.

I happen to have an
advanced copy in my car.

- Well, young lady,
you go get that.

Yeah?

- Right now.
- Okay (laughs).

I'll be right back.

All right.

Yeah.

(gentle music)

Oh, look at you (grunts).

Well, that's gotta be fixed.

(music continues)

(music continues)

(music continues)

- One copy of "Vampire
Rising" with your name on it.

Grandpa?

No!

No, no, no, no.

Grandpa?

Grandpa, can you hear me?

Are you okay?

Grandpa (panting)?

(no audio)

(somber music)

Is there any word?

- The doctor will be out as
soon as there's an update.

- Thank you.
(phone ringing)

(Amy exhales)

I'm sure Kit's just as worried

about your grandpa as we are.

(Amy sighs)
(phone chimes)

(text message whooshing)

- Oh, if I just, I hadn't
gone back to get the book

I could have stopped Grandpa
from getting on that ladder.

This isn't your fault.

- Just, in my heart
I knew that something

like this would
happen and I just,

- I ignored my instincts.
- Honey,

I understand how you're feeling,

but blaming yourself
won't accomplish anything.

Then what will?

Oh, come here.

Come here, aw honey.
(Amy sobbing)

How about we just focus

on the love we have
for your grandpa.

- Okay.
- Okay?

And we concentrate on
getting him through this.

(sighs) Okay.

Okay.

(phone chimes)

(Amy exhales)

Thanks a lot.

(gentle music)

(music continues)

Lillian Fox?

Yes?

I'm Dr. Smith.

I have good news.

Your father's regained
consciousness.

Now, he is banged up.
(Lillian exhales)

He suffered a few
fractured ribs,

but he's gonna be okay.

(Lillian laughs)

[Lillian] Oh!

Oh Dad, thank
goodness you're okay.

- Probably changing
a burnout light bulb

with one wonky arm was
not my best decision.

- Couldn't you have
had that realization

before you got up
on that ladder?

- It takes a few strikes to
knock some sense into me,

it's a family tradition.

(Lillian sighs)

- I don't wanna worry
about a next time,

where maybe Mom or I
don't happen to be here.

- Could we have this
discussion some other time

when I'm not in
concussion protocol?

- No, because by then you'll
be feeling a little bit better

and act like none
of this happened.

Now, we need to have this
discussion right now.

- Oh honey, I think
maybe your grandpa's

- right about this one.
- Mom,

please stop defending him.

You were just as
devastated as me.

(Tom sighs)
(Amy sighs)

All we want is to
know that you're safe

even when we're not around.

- Your mother's around
most of the time.

I have a lot going on, Dad.

- What you're saying is
when you're not around, huh?

- This past week, you've
seen a perfect example

of why I can't always be here.

Please.

For me and Mom, just
make the move to Oakwood.

I know that that decision

involves selling
Pumpkin Everything,

but I'm telling you, it's time.

Oh, man.

For years I scrimped and
I saved to build my dream.

It's everything to me.

- And moving on in your life
will never change any of that.

- Oh, baby, I've seen so
many businesses shutter

and turn into
insurance agencies.

We can build a contract

- for that, Dad.
- Yeah.

- Oh, they tell you
exactly what you wanna hear

until the ink's dry
on the contract.

It's my dream.

It's my passion.

You can't put that
in a book or a movie.

It's in the brick and
mortar of that building.

It's (sighs)...

- Is it worth
risking the very life

you're trying to preserve?

- Some dreams are so
much more important

than what's going
on in the present.

No.

- Yeah.
- No, I'm sorry.

I can't accept that.

- It's not your
decision to make.

This is my life, and I'm gonna
live it the way I choose.

I'm sorry, baby.

I'm sorry.

- Then why did I
even get involved

in trying to make things better?

Feel like everyone
would've been a lot happier

if I just showed up for two days

and kept my mouth
shut, myself included.

Oh honey, no.

Honey, Amy,
(Amy sobbing)

please just wait, honey.

(somber music)
(Amy panting)

Amy!

Hey.

Why aren't you at the shop?

I closed up for a bit.

I hadn't heard from you and
your mom, so I got worried.

Grandpa's fine.

Yeah, he's awake and I'm
sure if he has his say in it,

he'll be back at
Pumpkin Everything

changing light bulbs in no time.

- Given the state you're
in I thought things

had taken a turn for the worst.

He won't bend, Kit.

He refuses to make changes
and there's nothing I,

or anyone can do about it.

- I-
- Hey.

Here.

- It's not-
- It's okay, it's okay.

Shh.
(Amy sobbing)

It's gonna be okay.

That's just it, no.

It won't.

Now I have to go.

- You're not gonna
come back are you?

As long as I'm around.

What are you talking about?

- The way you just
pulled away from me.

You did the same thing
at the scarecrow contest.

Amy, it's not just like old
times between us, is it?

- I wanted to make
things right between us,

not complicate them.

You haven't.

We needed this time.

Yeah, it's been 15 years,

but I think we're exactly
where we're supposed to be.

My grandpa is in the hospital.

I know, and that's something

that you have no control over,

but where you and I are
concerned, you do have a say,

and yet you're running.

I have a book tour.

Amy, I'm in a good place.

I wish you knew you were, too.

(melancholy music)
(Amy panting)

(no audio)

(gentle music)

- Miss Fox, do you have
time to sign one more copy?

I'd love to.

(avid fan giggles)
(music continues)

Thank you.

(Amy sighs)
(music continues)

- You haven't lived till you've
tried our Fall Spice Latte.

It's a full on autumn fantasy.

Sounds perfect.

Can I get a name for the cup?

Amy, thanks.

(melancholy music)

(Amy chuckles)

(Amy sighs)
(music continues)

(music continues)

Got it?

Yeah.

Easy now.

Oh, I hate that pillow.

Here.

Oh.

Oo.

- Oh, the groceries
are all put away.

Oh, welcome home, Dad.

Oh!

And now that you're back,

I have some proposals
for you to review.

A ramp for the front porch?

Look, the doctor said
this cane was temporary.

- The doctor also said that
stairs are no longer your friend

and that railings and
gradual inclines are.

I know you hate hearing it,

but there was truth
in what Amy said.

Your way of living
has to change, Dad.

- All right, I'll
look at it tomorrow.

Okay.

Okay, fair enough.

I, yeah, I've gotta
get back to the office.

You sure you're okay?

- I'll be right next door
at Tom's beck and call.

Okay, okay, okay.

Mwah.

- Thank you.
- Of course.

- [Lillian] Call me
if you need anything.

Yeah.

Okay, bye boys.

Bye.

Is she gone?

- Yeah.
(door closes)

(ice pack thuds)
(gentle music)

Oh.

Hm.

Some of these aren't half bad.

- What, you'd want
somethin' like that stickin'

out the front of your house

so everyone goin' by can see it?

No, no.

(Tom sighs)

So, what is your plan then?

(Tom sighs)

I've made every effort to stay
outta your personal business.

But if the only thing
that's stoppin' ya

from movin' to
Oakwood is the future

of Pumpkin Everything
then maybe,

maybe you gotta hear me out.

- Well, I am a bit
of a captive audience

at the moment, aren't I?

- That's true.
- Yeah.

- No one is ever
gonna fully understand

your love of Pumpkin Everything

and the life that
it's given you,

but the longer that I'm there,

the more I'm startin' to
feel like I can relate

to what you're goin' through.

- So you understand why
it's almost impossible

for me to let go of everything?

Yeah.

Because aside from you,

no one needs Pumpkin
Everything more than me.

- I never really looked
at it that way before.

- You and your shop are what
set my life back on course.

- Well, you did your fair share
keepin' me on course, too.

- Tom, no matter
what you decide,

I'll see to that
your life's work

will forever be
honored in this town.

- You really understand an
old guy like me, don't ya?

Yeah.

Come on, go get us a cuppa tea.

And I'm gonna hold
you that promise, too.

(gentle music)

(jazzy music)

(Tom sighs)

(music continues)

(music continues)

(music continues)

Oh.

(music continues)

(music continues)

(music fades)

Thank you.

- Thank you so much.
- Enjoy.

(sighs) Thank you.

We haven't sold out during a
book signing in a long time.

It's an honor.

Honestly, this place is where
I fell in love with reading.

- I bet you say that to
all the bookstore managers.

(Amy chuckles)

I gotta decorate.

Of course.

(gentle music)

Would you like some help?

Really?

Someone like you has time
for something like this?

Why can't I do both?

Point me to your stapler.

(gentle music)

(music continues)

(Tom sighs)
(music continues)

(no audio)

(gentle music)

(music continues)

(phone chimes)

(music continues)

(text message whooshing)

(Amy sighs)

Hey, everybody.

Word is Jack Frost
is gonna be payin'

us an early visit this evening,

so we'd be wantin' to
bring those plants in.

And I've got a little diddy
comin' up here to warm us up.

It'll be the number I go
out on and I wanna thank you

for lettin' me spend
time with ya today.

My name's Tom, and here it is.

(upbeat jazzy music)

Dude, you're a total natural.

I'm blown away.

- Yeah, I was little
apprehensive there for a bit,

but you think anyone
was listening?

Only of all of Town Square.

I mean, stations piped in so
they're our captive audience.

- Too bad it's not
Philadelphia too, huh?

- Mm, well, today Autumnboro,
tomorrow the world.

- Look, I know you probably
got a lotta people lined

- up for this slot, but-
- Yeah.

No one worth calling back.

Ya didn't hear that from me.

I just gotta see if Oakwood

will make an exception
for one non-resident DJ.

They love their red
tape, but leave it to me.

- You know, Mags, I've
been reconsidering

this whole residency
thing and if you got time,

maybe you could show me
around Oakwood again?

I would love that.

Let's go.

Okay.

(ringtone playing)

Hello?

- [Carla] How's America's
favorite writer?

- You know that question
always makes me anxious, right?

- So, I did a little
schedule juggling-

And that's why.

I had no choice.

Your readers are
literally obsessed.

I mean, this town would
not take no for an answer.

- But will you take
no for an answer?

Please? For me?

- Fine, but after this, no
more changes or additions.

Where to?

Autumnboro.

- I wouldn't say I have
a legion of fans there,

especially right now.

- Well, the calls I've received
would suggest otherwise.

- Okay, name one person
who actually called.

- [Carla] Oh, my boss
is on the other line.

- Oh-
- Your car is waiting.

Bye.
(call disconnects)

Well...

(playful music)

Kit, stop fussing.

Come on, have a seat.

I wanna talk to ya.

Place looks great.

You've done a phenomenal job.

We're gonna have the
party of the century.

- (chuckles) Well,
if the weather holds.

- Yeah, nothin's gonna
ruin this party tonight.

Here, look.

I got somethin' for you.

Have a look.

What's this?

Open it up.

That's a check of all
last month's online sales

and it's made out to you.

Tom (laughs)...

Tom, this is way too much.

- If my calculations
are correct,

this month they'll
far exceed that,

and you'll have more than
enough for a down payment.

- Yeah, I'm good with
the truck I have.

- I ain't talkin'
about your truck.

I'm talkin' about you havin'

a down payment for a
business of your own.

- Well, yeah, maybe
one day when I'm ready.

The business I'm thinkin'

about probably needs you
more than you need it.

(gentle music)

- You want me to buy
Pumpkin Everything?

- I can't think of anyone
else I'd rather sell to, Son.

(gentle music)

(bright music)

- Welcome to
Autumnboro, Ms. Fox.

- Oh, we just passed Leafing
Through, the town bookstore.

It's so tiny you
probably missed it.

- I wasn't given the address
to a Leafing Through.

Oh, what address do you have?

572 Main street.

But that's...

Nevermind.

Thank you.

(gentle music)

(all chattering)

(jazzy music)

Oh, hi ladies.

- You know, I don't think
I've heard your phone all day.

- (gasps) Oh, that's
because someone told me

about this new invention
called Do Not Disturb.

(Luke laughs)
(Lillian chuckles)

It's Amy (giggles).

(gentle music)

Thank you.

(Amy sighs)
(music continues)

- Hey darling,
what do you think?

This really is a book signing?

Uh huh.

It's the only way
I could get them

to let you come to
Foliage Fest Night Cap.

And I just hated the
way we left things.

- We can't waste time being
angry with each other.

- I'm the one who
wasted time, you know,

not supporting the fabulous
woman that you've become.

You know, never
celebrating your gifts,

your amazing
talents, your grace,

and that huge heart of yours.

It's so evident in
all your writing.

I've just been a silly old fool.

You will always be my hero,

and there's no one in the world

that I want to impress more.

Well, it's been quite evident.

Look, for all the times
I'd got in the way,

that was wrong of me.

I'm so sorry.

But I love you.

Grandpa, I love you too.

Come here.

(gentle music)

- So, right here right now,
why don't we just start over,

make this a completely
new chapter?

Pun intended.
(Amy laughs)

I love it.

Ah.

Ah!

- Amy, you made it!
- Hi.

- Come, come sit.
- Okay.

[Lillian] You remember Luke?

- Yes.
- Hi, Amy.

(Tom sighs)
(jazzy music fades)

Hello, everybody.

I want to thank you
for attending this,

the 30th anniversary
of Night Cap.

(audience cheering)
(audience applauding)

I love the timelessness
of this celebration,

and to think that my very
talented granddaughter, Amy,

in this courtyard took
her very first steps

and now she is a nationally
acclaimed best selling author.

(audience cheering)
(audience applauding)

When Amy came to me and
said that she wanted

to write vampire stories,

those of you who know me could
only imagine how I bristled.

(audience laughing)

But once I cracked
open "Vampire Rising"

and I realized it was
the story of a family man

and how his want
for the very best

for his family had blinded
him to the passions

and the desires of the
very people he cherished.

Look, enough of the musings
of a very proud grandfather.

My granddaughter, Amy Fox.

(audience cheering)
(audience applauding)

(gentle music)

(jazzy music)

Thank you.

Thank you so much.

How are you holdin' up?

- You know, I think this
is Pumpkin Everything's

best Night Cap yet.

- Mm, and the first one
where I'm not the owner.

You sold Pumpkin Everything?

Mm hm.

Well, I can't spin
records at Oakwood

unless I'm a resident, can I?

- That wasn't enough
two weeks ago.

- No, but I think I
found the perfect person

to carry on Pumpkin
Everything's legacy.

Who?

(jazzy music)

(sighs) Of course.

(music continues)

Congratulations.

I'm happy for you, Kit.

Thank you.

Although, I gotta tell ya,

the business scares
the heck outta me.

Must mean that I'm
onto somethin'.

Here.

Sorry?

- Right now, this
is where I wanna be.

- Well, we'll always
be where we need to be,

for ourselves, for each other.

I believe that now.

- Amy, I'm never gonna get
in the way of your writing,

everything you've accomplished.

I just want a chance with you.

- That is by far the scariest
thing I've ever heard.

Terrifying, right?

(Amy chuckles)

Is that a yes?

It's an absolute yes (laughs).
