Glow!

Hi, Frankie.

Where you off to?

Hardware store, post office...

Look who's back.

Nate DeLuca.

His mother's thrilled.

Thought he'd never
come back.

Didn't you and he have a...

A long, long time ago.

High school.

Barely remember.

Hey, uh... walk with me.

Ok.

Did you see I'm a judge

in the grape jelly competition
tonight?

Uh, well I'm from the time
of the dinosaurs

but I'd be remembering
Nate DeLuca.

He was my first kiss.

Well, he was shorter then.

And then he got taller.

You kissed a DeLuca?

I know we're the veritable

Romeo & Juliet of the valley
with a twist,

we just went
our separate ways.

Speaking of which, my
divorce papers came in.

I'm sorry to hear that, Glow.

I'm gonna have to accept
I'm a single lady.

Maybe not for that long,
right?

I hear there's an app for it.

( laughs )

I'm selling Sorrento, Frankie.

Will Sam harvest the grapes?

From poolside in Costa Rica?

Right.

Somebody else can bring
in the harvest this year.

I just... I don't have the heart
for it anymore.

You're gonna be fine, Glow.

You bet I am.

See you tonight?

Count on it.

Sweet, bold, complex.

Excuse me?

I'm just rehearsing
my comments

for the grape jelly competition.

I signed up as soon as I heard
you were one of the judges.

You hate grape jelly.

I'm full of surprises.

I hate surprises.

Really?

Senior year, when I showed up
at your house

with five dozen sunflowers?

From our garden.

( laughs )

Frankie Baldwin.

You're still here.

Where else would I be?

Ah, so, how long are you
in town now?

Don't you have another degree
to get or something?

All done.

Finished at Cornell.

Right. Right.

Doctor DeLuca. PhD.

I heard.

Congratulations.

I figured it was time to rejoin
the DeLuca clan,

gear up for competition
with you Baldwins.

Mmm.

I heard your family vineyard
is looking good

for best wine at the festival
at the end of the month.

You better believe it.

Well, it's good seeing you,
Frankie.

Nate? Um...

Welcome back.

How is it?

I can't tell you.

So, are you nervous
that Nate DeLuca's back?

Why would I be nervous?

Oh, I don't know.

Just... an old flame returns.

Hannah, you are the only one
who is interested in a DeLuca.

Not anymore.

I am done with Marco.

But it would be fun
if you and Nate...

Me and Nate?

How long have you known me?

Long enough to know you had
serious sparks.

We had sparks.

"Had" being the operative word,
Marco.

Hannah, I called you.

That's not good enough,
I'm afraid.

Let's get you to the next jelly.

Yes, let's.

Good to see you.

Hannah, I just want-

( laughs )

You messed up.

It's not happening, man.

( applause )

Welcome, one and all,

to the St. Madeleine Autumn
Harvest Festival, day one.

( applause )

I'm your co-chair
of the festival,

Carla DeLuca of the DeLuca
family,

Northern California's
premier grape grower.

( crowd laughs )

There is also one other
family that claimed the title

but we don't have to talk
about those Baldwins now, do we?

( chuckles )

Let's hear it
for Carla DeLuca.

( applause )

And let's hear it
for Baldwin Farms,

this year celebrating our 70th
vintage year in St. Madeleine.

Shall we get on with it,
Charles?

And now we celebrate the
justifiably celebrated produce

of St. Madeleine.

Our judges, Mel Turner,

my own Frankie Baldwin...

And my gorgeous son,
Nate,

who is back in St. Madeleine
for good.

( applause )

Oh, let's get started.

Best grape jelly.

Merilee Weeks.

( applause )

You voted for Merilee?

I didn't vote for her.

I didn't vote for her.

Then how did she...

( Both ): Mel.

What?

Mel, you cheated.

He's always had a thing for her.

Yeah, well he must because her
jelly tasted like turpentine.

I'd rather drink turpentine.

I would.

I detected shades of hemlock...

maybe arsenic.

I think she's trying
to actually-

( crowd gasps )

( applause )

Apparently there's been
a truce in the feud

between the Baldwins
and DeLucas.

Frankie.

It is all coming back to me now.

Typical DeLuca look-at-me
behaviour.

I had to do something.

Merilee was-

You come back into town
with no warning whatsoever

and you think this is how we're
gonna get back together?

By you embarrassing me in
front of my family and friends?

No.

That's the furthest thing
from my mind.

I was just-

I know what you
were doing.

You're so full of yourself.

So I've heard.

From you.

Why don't you listen
this time?

( Charles ): Look, all I'm asking for
is a few more months on the loan.

We're restructuring.

Making important changes.

Yes, but considering how long
Baldwin's been in business...

well, there must be something
you can do.

Um... can I call you back?

Thank you.

Morning, sweetheart.

You sound stressed.

Nah, it's nothing.

Just an annoying vendor.

Well, I've got something I
would love to talk to you about.

I've been wanting
to talk to you, too.

I know we disagree from time
to time about the vineyard

and where we're going with it,
but uh...

I've had to make some tough
decisions lately.

I realized I needed someone
with a solid business background

for the next phase
of Baldwin Farms.

Charles.

Tony. You're early.

I couldn't wait to get started.

You must be Francesca.

Frankie, this is Tony Commisso.

He's going to be running Baldwin
alongside me from now on.

Great to meet you.

Nice to meet you.

Well, come on.

I'll show you around.

Ok.

After all you've done for dad,

and he goes and hires someone
else over you?

I looked up this
Tony Commisso guy,

he does have a lot of experience
in the wine business.

And you don't?

I just keep thinking
what didn't I do right?

I mean, all these years
trying to prove myself.

He takes you for granted

because you're there
one harvest after another.

So what am I supposed to do?
Quit?

You're so dramatic.

I'm not dramatic.

Ok.

You know what?

Maybe you should consider
your options.

Just because you're a
Baldwin doesn't mean you

have to be tied to those
vines for the rest of your life.

I love it, Jonah.

You couldn't wait to quit
and wear a badge

but I cannot imagine
doing anything else.

Were you expecting some kind
of a crime wave?

There are a lot of overheated
emotions in this valley.

Hmm.

Speaking of, what's this I hear
about you and Nate DeLuca?

Oh boy.

Hey, sis.

Anytime you wanna talk
I'm here for you.

Just don't make me bring
the tape.

Frankie!

I saw your truck out front
so I thought that I would-

You thought you'd corner me
in a store.

No cornering.

I just need to explain.

Give me that box.

I just needed to shut you up.

That's inventive.

Merilee was behind you,

I was just trying to spare
her feelings.

By not sparing mine?

I didn't know how to get you
to stop talking.

You might have asked me
to stop talking.

Let me take you out for lunch.

( squeals )

We can catch up.

Compare notes.

On what?

Growing grapes, what you've been
up to all these years,

the state of the Baldwin/DeLuca
feud.

Lots of sulphur,
getting older,

and it's alive and well.

Glow, please put this
on my tab.

Ok.

In front of everyone.

My family, my friends...

I've never been so embarrassed
in my life.

Wait a minute, he said he kissed
you to shut you up?

That's a new one.

As if I don't have enough
going on in my life right now.

Like I need this from
Nate DeLuca of all people.

We've been here before.

How many years ago,

in the girl's locker room
in high school.

You going on
about Nate DeLuca.

That's ancient history.

Now I wish he'd
just leave me alone.

What are you doing
to my hair?

New look, new career.

What new career?

I barely know what
I'm doing with my life.

( knocking )

Hi, Frankie.

I'm just closing up for
the night, but come on in.

You going somewhere?

Uh, no.

Uh, these are Sam's clothes
that he asked me

to send to him in Costa Rica.

But somehow they're going to
end up at the valley shelter

for the homeless.

There gonna be

one fine lookin' bunch of
gentlemen down there.

You seem all stirred up,
what's going on?

I went to Sorrento, Glow.

I walked the land and all
I could think about was

just how stunningly beautiful
it was.

And how, if I were you,

I would want it to belong
to someone who loved it.

Maybe even someone who...
needed it.

I heard what your father did.

I'm starting to think that maybe
it was meant to be.

Maybe this is the push
that I needed

to help me strike out on my own.

Fate?

Telling you to move on?

I wanna buy Sorrento, Glow.

I think it might be my future.

But I do know what it costs.

Now, listen.

I have some savings,
I have my mom's trust.

Your mother.

Oh boy, she was
my best friend.

She was always so...

so kind and generous to me.

I see her in you.

So.

You wanna buy Sorrento.

Mmmhmm.

Well how are you gonna
do that?

With every penny I've got.

With blood and sweat and tears

and as soon as I get approved
for a mortgage...

I went to uh,
two banks today.

Didn't quite realize
what a poor risk I am.

But I have other meetings
set up with lenders,

and I feel very confident
that something will work out.

You know what?

You don't even need
to use a bank.

I own that land outright.

I can finance that sale
to you.

If you did- If you would,

I promise you that I would
work my tail off

to make sure that I made
those payments

and if I ever failed you
in any way-

You won't fail.

Honey, you listen.

Your mother would be
so proud of you.

You got a deal.

( laughs )

Frankie.

I want you to arrange to have
the brush cleared

on the north slope.

It's a fire hazard
we don't need.

I want you on that phone
call with the buyers at 11:00

Dad, uh... I'm afraid I can't.

And there's something
I need to tell you.

Sure, go ahead, sweetheart.

You've taken a lot of big risks
in your life

and they have paid off.

And you've always told me
that freedom lies in being bold.

One of my favourite quotes.

I'm starting my own vineyard.

I'm buying Sorrento Farm.

Is this because I hired
Tony Commisso?

Frankie, you're valuable to me,

but I needed somebody with a
different kind of experience.

Somebody who was good
with banks and-

Dad.

I... I was upset, but it's ok.

I think it's maybe what I needed
to move on.

Just like that?

Sorrento's grapes need attention
or it won't have a harvest.

You've got Tony now, and...

I'm so sorry.

I hope you understand,
but...

I do think it's time that I do
something for myself.

Good luck to you,
Frankie.

( knocking )

He just made me feel like
I had completely betrayed him.

I mean, I feel bad for leaving,
I really do.

But at the same time this is
such an opportunity for me.

He'll come around,
just give him some time.

Can I sit up front?

I'm your sister,
I'm not a perp.

Sorry, up front is strictly
law enforcement.

Protocol.

Look, dad was not happy
when I left the farm.

He's totally fine with it now.

I haven't regretted it
for one minute.

So you don't think
I'm crazy?

For what, moving out of
a cottage

that dad lets you stay in
rent free?

For buying a farm
that you can't afford

with who knows what issues?

With vines that may or may not
produce a good crop?

No, not crazy at all.

Well, that was simple.

No bank involved.

Sorrento is officially yours.

Partially furnished house
and all.

Congratulations.

Thank you, Glow.

I'll take such good care of it,
I promise you.

I know.

( phone rings )

Jonah.

You there?

I am. I'm at Sorrento.

So, how is it?

It's gorgeous.

You've gotta come see it.

What uh- what about Glow?

Is she there?

No, we handled everything
at closing.

I think, uh, yeah.

It's pretty much just me here,
now.

Just setting up shop.

( animal groan )

( shrieks )

Frankie, is everything ok?

( llama grunts )

Looks like you made
a new friend.

He took my phone.

A llama took your phone?

Well, it didn't take it exactly.

( llama grunts )

I don't think he likes you.

What're you doing here,
anyway?

This is my land.

This is my land.

I bought it.

I have full title.

I have full title.

Are you starting to hear
an echo?

Is this one of your stunts?

No stunts.

Not when it comes to real estate
or harvesting grapes.

Like you know anything
about growing grapes.

DeLucas go back
hundreds of years,

all the way from Tuscany
to St. Madeleine.

Oh, so you were making wine
before the pilgrims?

Yeah, you know, you're
really good at trimming

your daddy's vines-

What are you good at?
Taking exams?

I own Sorrento.

I just signed papers
with the closing attorney.

Really?

Then how come I own it
and I can prove it to you?

Frankie!

Crime in progress?

( simultaneous )
Yes!

What's the crime, exactly?

Breaking and entering.

Stalking.

Property identity theft.

What?

That's a new one.

You're the one who's on my
property making false claims.

Jonah, why are you just
standing there?

You want me to cuff him?

Throw him in the slammer?

Yes!

Oh, I see what's going on here.

Two Baldwins against
one DeLuca.

Well, you're in conflict
of interest, Jonah.

You need to recuse yourself.

Best idea so far.

Where are you going?

This one's for the lawyers,
Frankie.

My divorce lawyer assures me

that Sam agreed
with the settlement

and that included me owning
the vineyard.

And a llama that you definitely
forgot to tell me about.

He's as gentle as a kitten.

Listen, he has had full reign
of that property

since before we owned it.

Well, it certainly looks like
Frankie Baldwin

is now the legal owner
of Sorrento.

See?

On the other hand,

Nate has equal claim
to the property,

which he legally bought
from Sam.

Again, yes.

How do you know that's legal?

Because I'm a judge
and I happen to know

what a legal document means
when I read one.

I'm sorry, Jerry.

It's just-

It's just not the answer
we were hoping for.

I tried calling Sam, I
have called his lawyer,

he is MIA in Costa Rica and
until he surfaces-

Well, I have a vineyard to run.

And jumping the gun there,
Nate.

Oh, I know it's the DeLuca way
of doing things...

Look.

If you end up inside of a
courtroom you could lose.

Go on.

I mean, this is just
one big mess.

I mean, there's no telling
which one of you

is gonna wind up the owner.

Only a divorce court can
determine whether Glow or Sam

legally owns the property
and had the right to sell.

So what're we supposed
to do?

Wait weeks?

Months for a court ruling?

If that vineyard isn't properly
managed the crop is gone.

While lawyers are arguing

our grapes are withering
on the vine.

My vines.

The vines that I bought
in good faith

in the belief that
it would be mine.

Jerry, please.

Look, you two.

I'm just here as a friend.

You asked for my advice,
I'm willing to give you some,

but it's up to you.

In the meantime, I hear there's
peach pie today at the diner.

Ladies, how are you?

There is one way
we can resolve this.

In your favour, I bet.

I buy you out.

Pay you back your deposit,
plus ten percent.

It's not bad for one
day's aggravation.

One day's aggravation
from you

is worth a lot more
than ten percent.

I can sweeten it.

There's not enough sugar
in the world.

We're not getting anywhere.

So?

Thank you.

Hi.

Hi.

Ok. Neither of you own Sorrento
until there's a court decision.

And that could take
a long time.

But those grapes need care.

You both know that the last
month of harvesting is crucial

to getting a good yield.

So why don't you co-manage
the property?

( simultaneous ) No.

Or split the acres.

Frankie, you take
the south parcel.

Nate, you take the north.

Work the vines.

Harvest the grapes.

Each on your own side.

Now, can you at least
manage that

until this thing gets to court?

It's the best advice
I can give you.

Non-binding, no charge.

Except you get to pay
for my peach pie.

I've got it.

No, it's- it's mine.

Why, because you have
deep pockets and I don't?

Last I heard you were broke
and carrying a hefty mortgage.

That gives you some kind
of leverage over me?

I'm just trying to be nice.

You're just trying to win!

It's just peach pie!

Order in the diner!

Relax.

You need some pampering.

If I take the judge's advice

I'll have to see him
every single day.

It shouldn't be so bad if Nate
stays on his ten acres.

I will know that he's there.

Not that he'll be anywhere
near the vines.

Have you seen his footwear?

I mean, the soles have
never touched honest soil.

And his fingernails?

Yeah, I was gonna mention yours.

That's a lot of honest soil
under there.

Hannah, if you cut my hair
every time I have a problem

I'm going to be bald.

Ok, wait!

Where are you staying?

At your place.

That's my stuff
in your guest room.

That won't do.

You need to be out there
at Sorrento.

It's yours, isn't it?

It is. I own it.

Well, I will when the court
decision comes in in my favour,

and when it does he
will be out of there so fast.

That could take months.

And in the meantime,

what is he gonna do
to your grapes?

Him and his fancy degrees?

He's probably gonna turn them to
jelly if I don't get out there.

You're right.

I can't let him have
all 20 acres.

I gotta harvest my ten.

That's right.

You need to protect
your interests.

You need to plant the flag.

I'm gonna plant a flag!

Hi Jerry.

Well, how'd it go?

Well, that's hard to say.

Those are two very stubborn
individuals.

( sighs )

It took 20 years for my ex and I
to get to where they are now.

Cats and dogs!

Oil and water.

Baldwin and DeLuca.

Charles is already rattled that
his daughter walked out on him

and he's gonna be really
irritated when he hears

that Nate owns Sorrento
and not Frankie.

Oh, now that has yet
to be determined,

and you would know that
if you weren't so biased.

Well, I do have a prediction
if you're interested.

Tell you what.

I'll leave it to you ladies
to speculate.

Try the pie.

It's good.

Thank you.

Making yourself at home?

That's what one does
when one is at home.

Are you moving in?

I take up a lot of room
when I'm cooking

so we should set up
a schedule.

As per the sleeping
arrangements-

Don't even go there.

Yes, let's.

As per the survey,

this bedroom sits
on the north parcel.

Plain English, it's my side.

Ergo, your stuff goes.

No rush.

Now would be good.

( chuckles )

Frankie, what's up?

I'm calling in a sisterly IOU.

Has a crime occurred?

Or are you just planning one?

Your side, my side.

Your side? No way.

Stove, fridge, sink, my side.

I'll let you finish what
you're doing there, though.

No rush.

Now would be good.

Morning, roomie.

Sleep well?

Submarines have bigger bunks.

Leek frittata.

Something about the combination
of leeks and fontina cheese

is just... puts a smile
on my face.

You do realize
that you're cooking

on my side of the kitchen?

Didn't I catch you ducking
underneath the border

this morning to use
the only bathroom?

One kitchen privilege equals
one bathroom privilege.

Ok, see?

You can be reasonable.

Who says I can't?

That's just what people say.

What people?

The ones that say
that you're prickly.

You're trying to psych me out.

I wouldn't even try.

You're too prickly.

Espresso?

Come on, let's just go.

( llama whines )

Yeah, I bet you're watching me.

Every move.

( drone whizzing )

Hey!

Get your stupid toy airplane
out of my vines!

Welcome to the 21st century.

Really? A drone?

Is that how you keep your
shoes so clean?

You don't have to get down
in the dirt?

From the comfort of
my shady perch

I can capture digital
photographs

linked with computer imagery

which measures vigorous areas in the
vineyard compared to low vigour.

Yeah, well, I'm not interested
in comfort,

I am interested in
what's under my feet.

I would love to hear more.

You and your old school ways.

Tasting the wind,
chewing the dirt,

praying to the full moon.

It's an art form.

Art and science.

You know what?

You grow your way,
I'll grow mine.

In fact, I'd be willing
to bet-

That you could outgrow me?

You think I can't,
Doctor DeLuca, PhD?

Pending my dissertation
on microbiology

and the sensory science
of wine... I forget.

Did you get a degree?

Bachelor of Science.

UC Davis.

A few credits short.

I will get it.

The clock's ticking, Baldwin.

So, how're we doing,
big brother?

Great yields, sales,
profits reinvested wisely.

Don't know why I thought
I was needed back here.

I beg to differ.

Time for me to take a break
from the company books.

You aren't exactly back though,
are you bro?

What's with buying Sorrento?

He bought a useless piece
of paper from what I hear.

As crazy as it sounds,
we both "own" Sorrento.

At least until the judge rules
in my favour.

Yep, me and the lovely Frankie.

I wonder why she left
Baldwin Farms, anyways.

They haven't exactly been
seeing eye to eye.

Her and her dad.

Yeah, not for months.

Hannah told me.

Hannah told you?

Marco and her were a-

A train wreck, ok?

( laughs )

Enough said.

So how are you so sure you're
gonna end up owning Sorrento?

The Baldwins are as stubborn
as mules.

Yeah, but DeLucas
are born to win.

It is so nice to have
my boys back together.

It's good to be back home,
mom.

So let me get this straight.

You didn't want to wash
in the bathroom

because one bathroom break would
give him one kitchen privilege?

Petty, but satisfying.

So either he cooks
in the bathroom

or you bathe in the kitchen?

Uh huh.

What else should I know?

Oh, he's Mr. Cheerful.

And he's Mr. Foodie.

Leeks and cheese.

Like I care.

And he's Mr. Science,
acting like everything I know

about growing grapes
is from the stone age.

And he's just right down
the hall, at night.

Yeah.

He took the big room
with the real bed

just because it's on his side
of the house.

So essentially
you're living together.

It's a stand-off.

Until the courts decide
who owns Sorrento

we are stuck with each other.

But that's not even
the worst part.

Sounds like the best part
to me.

Hannah, focus.

Sorrento is my dream.

My future.

And I am at risk of losing
it all to Nate DeLuca.

Which we won't let happen.

Exactly.

He thinks he's gonna end up
owning Sorrento

but he has underestimated me.

Which is good.

It's very good.

Because he doesn't know
what I've been up to.

What've you been up to?

I've been creating my own wine,

a Cabernet Sauvignon.

So no one knows about this?

Well, I rent the space,

the owners know I've been
in here, tinkering.

Wow.

I wouldn't call this
"tinkering".

I have been at it for years.

And now...

It's ready.

Your wine.

You tell me.

Wow.

It's delicious!

Chateaux Frankie.

Really?

You love it?

Are you sure?

I don't really have to tell you,
do I?

You have created something
very special here.

Does your dad know?

Whenever I told him I wanted
to develop my own wines

he'd say "be patient,
your time will come".

Your time is now.

And this is gonna kick-start it.

Cornetto?

It's my specialty.

So much better
than a croissant.

It's denser, and the filling?

So good.

What do you want from me?

Sorrento.

No way.

I'm not giving it to you,
not for love or money.

That's interesting
because I offered you money

but I never offered you love.

Ha.

Like that would have worked.

It doesn't matter.

It's in the hands of the courts
now, anyway.

Not entirely.

We could be the ones who decide
who gets Sorrento.

How?

By agreeing between ourselves

which one of us
gets legal ownership.

Regardless of what
the courts say.

I don't follow.

Ok, look.

You're fed up with me
being here.

Say that again.

Well, I am equally annoyed,

so why don't we just set up
a challenge?

If I win the challenge
you sell me Sorrento,

no matter what the courts say.

And if you win-

You promise to sell me Sorrento?

The same price Glow gave you.

It's all yours.

If you can win the challenge.

So what's the challenge?

You think of yourself
as the grape whisperer?

Mostly because I am.

And you think my science
degrees are-

Little bits of paper that
you stick on the wall

that mean zip on the vineyard,

where I still haven't seen you,
incidentally.

Well, in this corner,
Mr. Science,

and in that corner,
The Grape Whisperer.

Alright, I think I see where
you're going with this,

so in two weeks when we bring
in the harvest...

Whoever's harvest has
the biggest yield...

As determined by weight,

results from an independent
broker...

Wins Sorrento.

We'll see which of us does
better ripening those grapes

when they most need it.

What's the catch?

There's always a catch
with you DeLucas

There's no catch.

Whoever grows the most grapes.

I'm going out on a limb here.

Baldwins have beaten the
pants off DeLucas in the past.

My legacy versus yours.

What's in it for you?

Why would you risk
losing Sorrento?

To prove to you
my science degrees

actually did teach me something.

You?

Get you out of my house.

Off my property sooner.

Well, you'll have to tolerate
my presence until harvest.

Deal?

My money's on the grower
with dirt on their hands.

What're you doing?

Tracking sap flow.

Wanna try?

No thanks.

Charles, you're always
here first for our meetings.

A gentleman does not keep
a lady waiting.

Well, you're in a good mood.

Sorry to disappoint you,
Carla.

Don't you look lovely,
Elise.

Glad to see you took
my advice.

I'm going to have a cobb salad
and iced tea.

Same for me,
no tea.

I'm sure you aren't happy
with Frankie's decision

to leave Baldwin Farms.

Of course, she might have stayed
had you advanced her.

Frankie's a grown woman.

She makes her own decisions.

And why do you care?

Do you see an advantage
for the DeLucas?

You know, my sons
are such a support.

Our business would not exist
without them.

And my Nate?

Such a blessing that he decided
to move home.

Yeah, just in time to challenge
Frankie for Sorrento.

Hmm.

Maybe he's doing you
a favour.

You'll get her back in no time.

Don't be so sure.

She's not one to let herself
be pushed around.

Shall we make a friendly
proud mama proud papa bet?

$100 to the charity of my choice
when my Nate wins.

When my Frankie wins.

Isn't it something, Charles,

how long time competitors
such as we can get along?

Oh yes, it's something alright.

I thought you might be hungry.

Who are you trying to impress?

This is the way
that I like to live

in case you haven't noticed.

Oh, I've noticed.

It's my Italian heritage.

Food and family.

Enjoy.

Are you this good at everything?

Because if you are I might be
in trouble.

Maybe not.

I took a stroll through
your vines.

They're looking pretty good.

So you were on my side?

Well, good.

I'm glad it was enough
to get you off the porch

and into the fields.

( laughs )

You got me running scared.

Who would have thought
we'd end up like this?

Our high school year book
should have said

"most likely to duke it out
over the ownership

of a small vineyard".

And a large furry mammal.

( laughs )

Yeah.

What happened to us?

I went to college,
so did you.

No, I mean before.

We were so young.

Yeah.

But then you disappeared.

I think it must have been
the feud, you know?

That old unspoken
no fraternization

between Baldwin and DeLuca rule.

Of course.

The famous feud.

Mmmhmm.

I have an idea.

In spite of the feud, what do
you say we team up

and we represent
Sorrento together

in the grape-picking relay race?

Well, I do think that Glow
would love to see

Sorrento represented.

And we could fight the feud.

To fighting the feud.

To Team Sorrento.

You sure about that?

It seems so last week.

Frankie, there were times...

I hadn't seen you
for a while

and I found myself thinking
about you.

Wondering how you're doing.

You should have come
to our class reunion.

That's what those are for.

This isn't about the past.

I don't know what this is.

Goodnight, Nate.

Goodnight, Frankie.

( sighs )

Hmm.

Thank you, that was delicious.

Chock full of good stuff.

Should you be feeding
the competition?

Oops, guess I forgot.

Well, uh, back to work.

Any tips?

I'm supposed to share
trade secrets with you now?

I'm curious how they did it
in ancient times.

Ah.

I'm interested.

For real.

I use wettable sulphur
to control mildew.

Which washes away
during a summer shower.

You should really try some
of the newer synthetic sprays.

Mmm.

Your way, my way.

Mittens, no, no, no, no!

Stop, stop, stop!

Stop, stop, stop!

Oh, ok.

Looks like it's just
the water line.

We can patch that.

It's not just the water line,
it's the pump.

It's old.

As long as it gets us
through the harvest.

It won't.

The motor is seized.

Well then what're we gonna do?

I can't afford a new one.

It benefits both of us.

We'll split the cost.

No, I can't afford half of one,
either.

Frankie, it's shot.

No water, no grapes.

Hannah!

I can't stop 'till I get
my steps in!

Ok, so you're not gonna believe
what happened.

Mittens chewed off a water line
and now Nate says

we need a whole new pump
which is terrible

because there is no way
I can afford something

that expensive.

Why are you looking at me
like that?

Isn't it perfect timing?

Nate saying the pump
needs replacing?

What do you mean?

Well, what if Nate was the one
who busted the pump?

He knows you can't afford it.

He would never do something
like that.

I know you don't want
to believe

that Nate DeLuca
is doing dirty tricks

but he's being so nice to you,

he's making you cute
little sandwiches,

but the DeLucas are known
for being crafty.

I mean, I should know.

Marco?

All that DeLuca charm

right under the surface
will do anything to win.

That might be Marco-

Mmm mmm.

They're on the same team.

They are using
the same playbook.

You gotta fight, Frankie!

( laughing )

Oh, Susan, I am so glad
you could join us.

Us crazy DeLucas
who never stop talking

unless of course we're eating.

You can break bread
with us any time.

I will if you keep serving
this incredible prosciutto.

It's a promise.

Cheers.

Hey.

Salute.

Salute.

( siren )

Give me a break.

I was only slightly
over the speed limit.

You're not supposed to get
out of your car

when an officer pulls you over.

Then don't pull me over.

I'm not stopping you
for speeding, anyway.

You want me to step in
with Nate DeLuca?

Oh, Hannah has got such
a big mouth.

What're you gonna do?

Open an investigation?

The case of the mysteriously
deceased water pump?

No.

Nate DeLuca is a problem
that I can handle.

If you say so.

I do.

Alrighty then.

You're free to go, ma'am.

Love you, too, Jonah.

Well, I have to admit,

I enjoy being courted by
all of you wine growers.

Welcome to St. Madeleine.

Your reputation preceded you.

We just hope that you see
the value in doing business

with the DeLuca family.

And the Sorrento Farm?

Sorrento is extremely promising.

Nate's gonna turn it into
the finest boutique winery

in the valley.

But I'm gonna wanna sell
the first harvest.

You want to sell the grapes?

From all of Sorrento's acreage?

Sorrento will be Nate's alone
soon enough.

Yeah.

Between you and me,

Frankie Baldwin
doesn't have the resources

or the experience
to grow good crops.

Actually, Frankie's quite
a talent.

She knows her stuff.

So what happened first?

You chewing the water line
or Nate messing with the pump?

Look me in the eye.

Did you do it?

I didn't think so.

So what was that about?

We're trying to land
Susan Jones as a buyer,

not endorse Frankie Baldwin.

No need to downgrade
Frankie's skills

in order to make a deal.

What's going on with you
and her exactly?

We're competitors, that's it.

That's it, huh?

Yeah, that's it.

Ok.

Nate!

Beauty, isn't it?

State of the art.

What are you doing?

I told you I can't afford this.

Don't worry about it.

Pay me back when you can.

What, so I can be
in debt to you

and you can hold that
over my head?

What're you talking about?

I told you that we need
a new pump.

You know what?

I seem to remember the last
one working just fine

until you suddenly
decided that it wasn't.

You think I had something
to do with that?

Did you?

You know, if that's the way
that you feel

then maybe we shouldn't be a
team at the Grape Picking Race.

You're right.

We shouldn't.

Charles. You clean up well.

In honour of me?

I have a meeting later.

I thought you might be
dressed up for money.

Are you selling? Buying?

Borrowing?

Could be all three.

It's called the wine business.

( laughs )

Don't I know it.

Before we get started I just
want to clear the air.

Your Frankie and my Nate
are in a tug-of-war at Sorrento

and I just want to assure you
I'm not taking sides.

Since when has a DeLuca
not taken sides?

Well, of course I support Nate.

I just mean that whatever
the kids are up to,

I'm going to be at pains

to not let it get in the way
of our duties

as co-chairs of
the Autumn Festival

and of our cordial relationship.

Oh, you're very cordial, Carla.

Especially when your wine sales
are ahead of mine.

Charles, I'm trying to be civil.

Carla, let's face it.

Our relationship is
based on

mutually trying
to crush each other.

Now I can see why Frankie needed
to move on

if this is what you're like
with her.

I'm just telling it like it is.

Isn't that your style?

You are contentious,
opinionated, short-sighted,

and that is not my opinion.

It's a fact.

Yeah, well here's another fact.

Frankie Baldwin is not gonna
be pushed around by Nate DeLuca.

Maybe you should tell her that
instead of me.

Or is she not talking to you
these days?

If you'll excuse me I have
business to attend to.

These banks don't make it easy.

No, but they're
a necessary evil.

Charles, you know that was
a good meeting, right?

We got a reprieve.

We bring in a strong harvest,
it'll all be good.

You've been a big help to me,
Tony.

Thanks.

It's all gonna work out.

Alright.

Heads up.

Oh, come on.

These grapes could have looked
a little more manly.

They're fruit.

It's neither male nor female.

That's a female point of view.

Look, thank you so much

for replacing Nate
in the relay race,

I really appreciate it.

Absolutely.

I'll be right there along side
you picking grapes.

Yes, please.

Make sure you do, I really
wanna win this one.

Ok.

Hey, guess who got a speeding
ticket last night?

Who?

Susan Jones.

That new wine broker?

Yeah.

Coming back from
the DeLuca's.

Is she gonna be buying
their wine now?

Thank you, Jonah.

You're welcome.

For what?

Susan?

Yes?

Hi, Frankie Baldwin.

May I... I was gonna say
"sit", but I'm already sitting.

Listen, thank you so much
for agreeing to meet with me.

If this is about
Nate DeLuca...

Only partially.

Does everyone in this valley
know everything?

You have no idea.

I do not discuss deals.

They're confidential.

And I appreciate that,
but I have to ask you,

please, before you make any
decisions about

who's wines you want to buy,
can I show you something?

I promise you, you will not
regret it.

French oak.

It's the best, isn't it?

Who's wine is this?

It's mine.

I produced it here
entirely on my own.

Cabernet Sauvignon.

If you like it I'll offer you
the first shot

at representing me
as my broker if...

you buy the Sorrento
grape harvest.

I'm told that your ownership of
Sorrento is very much in doubt.

By who, Nate DeLuca?

And you apparently
have a lack of resources

and experience to grow
a good crop.

Let me tell you what I've
heard about you, Susan.

That you're a savvy broker.

So you tell me, what sounds
better to you?

A one-time deal with Nate DeLuca
for a couple tons of grapes

or a deal with me that promises
you a partnership

with the person
who produced that wine.

I can make a wine as good
as this or better

with Sorrento's grapes, too.

The wine is sensational.

And this is what you need to do.

Enter it in the Autumn Harvest
Festival Best Wine competition.

If it wins, we have a deal.

( applause )

Welcome one and all to the
Autumn Harvest Festival's

Grape Picking Relay Race.

( applause )

And here to get us started is
our very own Glow Sorrento.

( applause )

Thank you,
thank you.

And thank you to our co-chairs
Carla DeLuca

and Charles Baldwin.

( applause )

For those of you who have
not experienced

the thrill of this competition,
here's how it goes.

Each team of two pickers is
required to pick the grapes

from the vine and fill
eight crates-

( message alert )

To the brim.

Ok, I will now introduce
the competing teams.

Jonah can't make it,

there's been an accident
on Sulphur Springs Road.

Darn it, I really wanted
this win for Sorrento.

Baldwin Farms.

( applause )

DeLuca.

( applause )

Sorrento Farm,
Team Nate.

( applause )

If I can cut hair
I can cut grapes.

Sorrento Team Frankie?

Oh, Hannah. Great.

( applause )

Ok teams, get ready.

Let's see what you're
made of.

One, two, three!

( air horn blows )

( cheering )

Let's go buddy!
We got this bro!

We got it!

That's it, we did it! Yes!

Good job, bro!

Well, folks, that was
a fantastic finish.

Real close.

Real close.

Congratulations,
Team Sorrento Farm.

Or, at least, Nate DeLuca
and Sorrento Farm.

( applause )

You got your boots dirty.

Yeah, you gave us
a pretty good run.

I'm not the enemy here.

This whole family rivalry thing,

I never bought into that.

Except for exactly what's playing
out between us right now?

It used to be fun competing
against you in high school

in science class,
but this...

Yeah, well, tomorrow's
the harvest,

our little competition
will be over...

It can't come soon enough.

Yeah, for me, too.

And then you will see
that not only do I have

the resources and experience

to grow a good crop
but to win.

I won't be staying
at the farm anymore.

I think it's for the best.

I'll just be there
for the day shift.

For the record,
I never said that.

( Operator ): 911, what is
your emergency?

Yes, hi.

This is Frankie Baldwin
at Sorrento Farm.

I'm seeing smoke.

( reporter ) Firefighters
did not anticipate that the fire

would grow to this extent.

It has now jumped
to county line 10.

Frankie!

The fire's jumped the road
at county line 10.

I know, it's headed over.

The master switch isn't working.

What?

I don't know.

I'm getting an error message.

We're gonna have to turn on
each section manually.

I have to make sure Mittens
is safe.

Frankie!

I'm here!

The wind, it's shifting.

It's coming from the east.

It can hold.

If it holds...

It won't reach Sorrento.

( laughing )

I'm so relieved you were here.

Me too.

( phone rings )

I didn't... Sorry.

Jonah.

I am here, but I'm ok.

Nate's here so we just...

How bad is it?

Half the vines.

What can I do?

Nothing. It's too late.

We can re-plant.

It's what we do.

We've had fires before.

We?

Yes, we.

We're a family.

I love this place.

I love you.

You walked away.

Because you didn't need me.

Did I have to tell you
I needed you?

You're a Baldwin.

This place is a part of you.

Then let me help.

I'll take care of it, Frankie.

Are you ok?

I heard.

Your dad.

It's pretty rough.

I hate to see him like this.

I just need to focus
on our competition.

So, in this corner,
Mr. Science.

That corner, The Grape
Whisperer.

Whoever grows the most grapes-

Determined by the weight results

from an independent broker-

Wins-

Sorrento Farm.

Good luck.

Let the harvest begin.

I can't look at another grape
in my life.

I don't think I've ever worked
that hard.

Well, this is why we do it.

Hannah calls it
"Chateaux Frankie".

You produced
your own wine?

Five years in the making.

To the harvest.

To the harvest.

Frankie, that's...

that's you in a bottle.

It's that good?

It's better than good.

It's flat out fantastic.

I mean it.

While I was off studying
you were honing your craft

and then some.

Look at the way the light
hits the vines.

You're right, you know.

What you said
about me disappearing.

We knew my mom was sick
and I was so worried.

All I wanted to do
was just be with her.

I pushed away everyone.

My friends, you clearly.

What are we doing?

What feels right.

Why now?

Why not?

Come to the harvest dance
with me tomorrow.

You mean, like, together?

Yeah. Like, together.

Is that a yes?

I have the Cab, Hannah has the
Merlot, which would you prefer?

You're not driving, are you?
There you go.

Enjoy.

Yes, absolutely.

That's perfect.
There you go!

Charles.

I am so sorry to hear about
your vines.

If there's anything
we can do...

Thank you.

You won best wine
the last two years.

Could be another win
for Baldwin.

I had no idea that Frankie
had a wine in competition.

Carla.

Good luck today.

Thank you.

My dad could really use
this win.

You need this, too.

( applause )

Welcome one and all

to the Autumn Harvest Festival's
Best Wine competition

where we celebrate our valley's
wine producers.

A thrilling finale to all
the festivities

you've been enjoying over
the past few weeks.

Now, this is a blind tasting.

And I'm a real judge,

so I'm going to ensure
this is fair and objective.

The Best Wine finalists
are Charles Baldwin,

Carla DeLuca, Mel Turner,
and Frankie Baldwin.

Judges?

Let's get on with it.

I'm so proud of you.

You have a wine
in this competition.

Frankie produced a wine?

What's it good for?

Salad dressing?

She's gonna win.

And now, by unanimous vote,
the winner of Best Wine,

The Cabernet Sauvignon
from Frankie Baldwin.

( applause )

( cheering )

Thank you.

Stay still.

We need to get you ready
for your victory dance tonight.

Frankie, you won.

Best Wine.

The big leagues.

Why aren't you happy?

There's something wrong.

My dad, he's-

The fire.

Yeah, but there's
something more.

There's something that
he's not telling me.

Did you talk to Jonah
about it?

I left him a message,
but... I don't know.

Hey, uh... congrats, Frankie.

Thank you, Marco.

What're you doing here?

I need a cut.

Do you really want
to be close to me

while I have scissors
in my hands?

I'll take my chances.

Come on.

What did I do that's so bad
that you won't talk to me, huh?

Sit down, Marco.

I'll be right back.

This is your night to celebrate.

Whatever it is,
try to let it go.

I can't.

Wow.

You look amazing.

You're not so bad yourself.

Not so bad?

Are you forgetting about
these sweet dance moves?

How could I forget?

( applause )

Hi, I'm so sorry to interrupt.

I'm Frankie Baldwin.

It has been a great harvest

and a very special autumn
for me as well.

Winning Best Wine was
such an honour, thank you.

But uh...

I need to clarify something
and that is that

I learned everything that
I know at Baldwin Farms.

And I developed
my wonderful wine

while I was an employee there.

So I would love to officially
re-credit that Best Wine win

to Charles Baldwin.

( applause )

Frankie.

Frankie!

What's going on?

Why are you giving the win
to your dad?

I'm going back to Baldwin,
Nate.

You're giving up on Sorrento?

We don't even know who won
our challenge.

I'm not giving up I'm just
making a choice.

This doesn't make any sense.

It's time for me to go home.

Look, Sorrento will be yours no
matter what the courts decide.

I never had much financial
invested in it financially, anyway.

Just a down payment,

but you and I can sort that out
when the time comes.

You know what I loved
about you?

Your fierce determination
to prove yourself.

I know how difficult this
business is

and against all odds
you have made it.

You are a star winemaker.

I don't understand why you're
taking such a big step back.

Don't make this more difficult
for me.

You're making it more...
difficult on yourself.

Nate.

What is going on?

She's sacrificing everything
that she cares for.

Everything she's worked for.

Tell me why.

Goodbye Mittens.

I'll ask for custody but I'll
understand if you wanna stay.

I wouldn't leave him either
if I didn't have to.

The soil is rocky.

The best kind.

The harder the grape vines
have to struggle-

The better the wine.

A metaphor for life.

I told your brother not to tell
you about my financial problems.

I know. He doesn't
listen to you.

Frankie, I've made some
bad decisions.

Dad, you don't-

I mortgaged the property
to deal with the debt

and then I lost control
of the financing.

That's when I hired
Tony Commisso.

I didn't want to burden you.

And then the fire swept through

and there went
that house of cards.

Dad, listen.

Susan Jones is buying all of
the winning wine that I made.

And she's now offering to buy

all of the surviving
Baldwin grapes

if I come back and
make wine with you.

We can turn this thing
around together.

I can't accept what you're
trying to do for me.

Dad-

No.

Frankie, the worst decision
I ever made,

the one I'll always regret,

is that I didn't make
you feel appreciated.

That I...

I didn't support you
the way a father should.

I'll remember your generosity
and sacrifice

the rest of my days.

But your debts...

An investor has come forward

with the means to cover
my debts guaranteed.

Buy Baldwin's bottled inventory.

It's just a loan.

Baldwin stays in the family.

An investor?

Is it Nate?

I tasted your wine
after the competition.

Something about it.

Unpredictable, honest,
full of life, passion...

I thought, that's my Frankie.

I made sure the Best Wine award
is back in your name.

For Sorrento.

I am so proud of you.

Frankie, do not give up
on your dreams.

( chuckles )

Carla.

Are you here to tell it
like it is?

Love is complicated.

Like wine.

It can seem raw and harsh
at first,

and then it mellows,
and then it's magic.

I'm guessing you're not
just talking about wine.

Our kids.

Do they know it yet?

Hmm.

( laughs )

I can't tell you how much
I appreciate

what you did for my father.

But I can't accept you
giving him all that money.

I will do whatever I can.

That deal is between me
and your father.

And it's a good one
for both of us.

No one wants to see
you sacrifice

everything that you've
worked for here.

Sorrento needs you.

I need you.

You want to know
why I came back?

When I was gone

I was always missing
something.

I realized what that was

the moment that
I found you here.

For ruining your plans.

Making me realize that

I've always been
in love with you.

I've loved you since I sat
next to you in science class.

I always hoped you'd
come back.

I'm back.

But I'm prickly.

You said prickly.

I'm ok with prickly.

Can I kiss you now?

To shut me up?

I have the results from
the Sorrento challenge.

You wanna find out
who won?

I already know.

( llama bleats )
