[alarm clock beeping]

-Sorry.
That was my alarm clock.

Yes, Tom. I've already been up
for an hour and half

finishing the article
on the Icelandic resort.

If you want me to complete
that other article by noon,

I need your notes.

[phone ringing]

[woman] Good morning.
Gary Hall's office.

-Good morning.
This is Jackie Sinclair,

confirming my nine
a.m. interview with Mr. Hall.

[woman] Oh. I was
just about to call you.

Mr. Hall has a flight at 10 a.m.
Can we do 8:30 instead?

-No problem.
See you then.

Uh-oh.

[rattles]

[mug thuds]

Make a note. Check with Don

on final draft
of Belize article.

Make a note.
Email about unpaid invoices.

[footsteps]

No, no! Keys, purse!

This can't be happening!

[knock on door]

Hello! It's Jackie!
Anyone home?

[car honking]

Mr. Wiloughby!

Mr. Wiloughby!

Mr. Wiloughby!

[♪♪]

[sighs]

[police car beeps]

[♪♪]

Morning, Ranger Davis!

-[grunts]
Hey, you leaving already?

It's Dan, right?

-Hey. Good memory. Ah. No, no.

We're just going to head
up the trail. Set up camp.

-Uh, which trail?
-Upper loop.

-Ah. It's gorgeous.

You'll gonna love it.
-Thanks.

By the way,
I'm glad you told us

about keeping food
in the bear box.

Saw a whole family of raccoons
sniffing around this morning.

-Yeah. They're persistent
little buggers,

but I like to tell people

just make sure to pack out
what you pack in.

-This is Rico.

-[chuckles] Adorable.
How old is he?

-Not quite a year.
Our neighbor's dog had a litter.

-You know actually,
they have two more puppies

that are looking
for forever homes,

if you're interested.

-Oh, I would love a dog

but I work too many hours
to take care of a dog.

Maybe one day.

Ah. Listen, there's a part
of the upper loop--

it's a little rocky,
about two miles up.

Just make sure you stay
on the trail, okay?

-We will. Thanks.

-Sure.
-See ya.

-[glitches]
-[Daisy]] Sean.

-Hey, Daisy!
-It's arrived!

[Daisy] The Forest
for Us Grant sent us a letter.

-Already?

-Yeah. The postal worker
just dropped it off!

Hurry back!

I'm dying to know
if we got the grant!

-[hopeful] Fingers crossed.

-[clears throat]
-[door alarm beeps]

[car engine revving]

[car lock beeps]

-Here you go.
-Okay.

-Hurry up and open it!

I have to go relieve Byron
at the kiosk.

-We'll never get the Nature
Center remodeled without it.

[both chuckling]

Okay, okay.

-What's it say?

-"Dear Mr. Sean Davis,
Thank you for your application.

"The Forest for Us grant
is dedicated to providing

"educational opportunities
about wildlife conservation.

"This year we.
[voice begins to drop]

"had many worthy applications.

unfortunately."

We didn't get it.

[sighs deeply]

-You spent so much time
writing that grant.

-I get anything remodeling
the Nature Center

just isn't going to happen.

-Don't say that.

-Well, every grant I apply for,
it's the same thing.

They want to help
the most people,

and we just don't have
enough visitors to the park.

Why can't they see if
we renovate the Nature Center,

more people will come?

[Daisy sighing]

-What are you going to
tell your mom?

She's still coming out
this week, right?

-Yeah. I was hoping to give her
some good news for her birthday

but I guess
that's not in the cards.

-Hey. Look what I found.

-Wow. Where was this?

-In a box in the storage closet.

That's your mom and dad,
right?

[Sean] Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Back
when they were still dating.

You see that stone
my dad's holding there?

It's called sphalerite.

[Daisy] Really?

-Yeah. He had them use
that exact stone

to make my mom
an engagement ring a year later.

[Daisy] The purple ring
she always wears?

-Yeah.

This is really cool.

-I'm glad it could cheer you up
after some not-so-great news.

I'm gonna head
over to registration.

Relieve Byron.

-Sounds good.

[Jackie] So after the police
ran my license

and saw that it actually
was my house,

they called a locksmith
who showed up 55 minutes later

and finally let me in.

-Why didn't you have 'em
call me?

[Jackie] I figured you were
probably having breakfast

with Uncle Keith
like you always do

when Mom's at
one of her jewelry expos.

-Well, you can always call me,
sweetie.

At least you didn't
break your own window.

-I still missed
a really important meeting

with CEO Gary Hall.

-Well, you know what I think.

You are way overworked.

Constantly running
here and there,

going from one hotel
to the next.

-That's what you do

when you're a freelance
travel writer, Dad. I like it.

-You need to take some time
for yourself. Relax.

-You might have a point.

Here you go.

Spaghetti carbonara
with smoked pancetta.

Exactly like I had at that
hotel in Sardinia last month.

-Oh, you didn't have to go
to all this work for me.

-I figured you might want
something a little fancier

than the spaghetti you've had
every Wednesday night

for the last 20 years.

[Jackie chuckles]

Well?

-It's good.

It's real good.

I don't know
that I'd want it every week,

but I'll take some more
if you've got it.

[cutlery clattering]

[Jackie exhaling]

[Annette] Your dad's right.
You need a vacation.

-[scoffs] My entire job
is one vacation after another.

-But it's still all work,
all the time.

I just think you'd feel
a little more inspired

if you got away for a while.

-Maybe.

-Well, I'm so glad you agree.

Because I happen to have
the perfect idea.

Glamping!

-[chuckles] Oh, no.
You know I don't do camping!

-I said glamping. Thank you.

-I heard what you said, Annette.

There's nothing glamorous
about camping.

-Well, then clearly you've
never been in one of these.

It's amazing!
And we got an incredible deal.

-You bought that thing?

-No. I wish. Roger and I
rented it for a week,

hoping to get
a little romantic getaway,

but he got called away for work.

So I guess you can come.
Girls' trip?

-What about this place?

-That's why I have
assistant managers, Jackie.

It's called delegating.

-Your sister's
having a baby soon.

Do you think
it's a good time to leave?

-Rebecca's not due
for three more weeks.

-Oh. a girls' trip
does sound like fun. I know.

Let's go to New York City.
We can stay at the Ritz-Carlton.

It's in the heart of Manhattan,
close to Times Square.

We could see shows.

-No, thanks.
I need someplace serene,

where we can enjoy the peace
and the quiet of nature.

-Las Vegas?

[scoffs] Okay, I'll try it.

But this RV better be
as amazing as you say as it is.

-Yes! We're going glamping.
We are going glamping.

-Oh, no.

[♪♪]

[door closes]

It's. huge.

-Wait until you see the inside!
It's sweet.

-Okay, let's do this.

-Ah, there's just
one itty-bitty problem.

-Oh, no. What?

-Well, you know, I'm used to
driving my little Fiat

and I almost hit three cars
on the way over here.

So can you drive?

-Give me the keys!

You owe me big time,
Annette!

[Annette chuckles]

Okay, first letter is, uh, S.

-S? Swimming.

You were a competitive
swimmer in high school.

-Good job. I can't believe
you remember that.

Um, T.

-Tulips.
They're your favorite flower.

-Okay, you're right.

But I seriously don't
remember telling you that.

-You mentioned it
when Adam bought you flowers.

He got you pink tulips.

-That was like six years ago.

And I think it was the last
time a man bought me flowers.

-They tend to do
that kind of thing

when you're in a relationship.

You know, you actually have to
go out in order to meet people.

-I would love to have
someone in my life

but it's so hard
when I'm constantly traveling.

I just. I haven't had the time.

Does Roger
still get you flowers?

-Once a month.

-Really? After being married
for four years.

Aww. I love that.

-Ah, slow down.
I think it's coming up.

[brakes squealing]

-Afternoon! Welcome!

-Hi, we're
here for the week.

-Great. Camping registration
is 20 dollars a night.

If you will fill out
this guest form,

I'll give you a map
to your spot,

plus where the restrooms
and trails are located.

-0Oh, we won't be needing that.
These bathrooms are nice.

-Oh, I know.
Full kitchen, too.

There you go.

Now just make sure
to put this in your window.

-Thank you.
-Enjoy.

[car engine revving]

[Jackie chuckles]

-I don't understand this map.
I mean, which one is it?

-Which number
did you say it was?

-Space number 19.

-Maybe. oh,
I think it's this one.

-Stop.

Hey, you have to back it in.

Hey, you have to back into it.

-What is he saying?

-He's saying
it goes in backwards.

-Why in the world--?

Okay.

-Stop! Stop, stop, stop.

-Oh, no!

-Are you okay?
-[Sean grunts]

[Jackie] Oh. Are you okay?

Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry.

-It's okay, I'm fine.

[both panting]

First time driving
a motor home?

[Annette chuckles]

-What gave it away?

-Just a good guess.

So your hookups
are on this side.

So you're gonna
want to back it in

and then make sure
it's level once it's parked.

That is, once I am at
a safe distance. [chuckles]

-Thanks.
We're new to glamping.

-Glamping?

-Glamping. Glamour camping.

-Well, I'm Sean,
one of the rangers here.

-I'm Annette.

-Jackie.

-If you have any questions,

you can find me
at the ranger station

which is, uh,
right here on your map.

Please don't leave
any trash lying around

and if you decide
to have a campfire,

keep the area around it clear
and make sure it's not windy.

We don't want any flying sparks.

-Sure. Common sense.

-Okay.

[Annette] Thanks, Sean.
[clears throat]

Speaking of sparks flying,
that ranger's pretty cute.

-I am not here for that.

I am here to relax, remember?

-Mm-hm.

-I guess I should
turn the RV around.

-He said to level it, but
it looks pretty level already.

-Looks good to me, too.

-Okay, cool.
Let's get settled.

-All right.

[Jackie typing]

-No more work today.

-Okay. Okay.

-[sighs] Some
chardonnay, mademoiselle.

-Mm.

-Here we go.

[cork pops]

-[bottle clanks]
-I gotta admit,

this was a good idea, Annette.

-Yep.

-Might be exactly what I needed.

[wine glasses clink]

- I was thinking, after dinner,

we could go down
and check out the lake

because the map says that
you can rent paddle boats.

That'd be fun, right?

-I don't think
the fridge is working.

It's not on at all.

Do you think that ranger
might know how to fix it?

-Well, it's worth a shot.

Otherwise all our food
is gonna go bad.

You should go see
if he's still in the office.

-Yeah. You're not level.

-What do you mean?

What does that have to do
with the fridge?

-When you're tilted,

all the refrigerant fluid
moves to one side.

So, your pump is starved.
If you remember,

I did remind you
to make sure it was level.

-We remembered.

We just didn't think
it was that big of a deal.

-Only if you want
your food to stay cold.

[laughs]

It's nice
to have a motor home

probably levels itself
with a button.

But if not, you can buy one
from the market.

They close
in about 10 minutes though,

so you better hurry up.

I tell you what,
I can call 'em.

Have 'em make sure
they stay open for you.

-It's fine.
We'll figure it out.

-Okay.

You ladies have
a good night.

-Looks like it's
gonna be pretty cold tonight.

I bet if we just bring all
the food underneath the camper,

it'll be good for the night.

We'll go to the market tomorrow.

-Yeah, okay.

[car engine revving]

[door slams]

[insects chirping]

-There you are.

It's late.

-Hey.

-Well, since you're in
the mode of fixing things,

the water won't shut
completely off

in one of the showers
in the south men's bathroom.

-Okay. Be there in a minute.

-Okay.

-Sorry, Mom.
I really am trying.

[heavy footsteps]

[Jackie groans]

-Well, I'd say that was
a successful first night.

-I'll second that.

[heavy footsteps]

[car door slams]

[insects chirping]

[squeaking]

What was that?

-[whispering]
Hey, did you hear that?

-Is someone out there?

-What do we do?

-Stay right where we are.

Turn on the light.

[squeaking]

[both exhale in relief]

It's just a raccoon.

[raccoon chattering]

[birds chirping]

[exhales]
It is gorgeous outside.

I love how.

no. [gasps]

-What is it?

-The food. It's all gone.

-What could have.

-The raccoons.

[exhales]

I'm in the middle of nowhere,

but I will still be
checking messages.

So please let me know
if the file I sent

will work
for the October edition.

Thanks.

[Sean] --and the
Jack-in-the-pulpits

are in bloom this season
right now as well.

You guys should really
check out the Nature Center

before your hike.

There's some pamphlets that
describe the native flowers,

and that opens at noon.

[Jerry]
Someone mentioned that place

and they said
there wasn't much to see.

-Well, we are workin'
on fixing it up

and it is gonna be great
once we're done.

And there's still
some information

you
guys can pick up there, though.

-Okay, thanks for the tip.

-Sure.

-Hey Dad, can we get
one of these?

-Good mornin'.

I saw you guys had a little mess
outside your motor home earlier.

-Nothing we can't clean up.

-Well, you'll want one of these.

-Great. Thanks.

-Have a good one!

-This is cool.

-[exhaling] [under her breath]
Mr. Comedian.

[birds chirping]

-Yes.
Twenty dollars a night.

Thanks.

Morning.
You have any luck

looking at that grant list
again last night?

-No, nothing new.

But I have a
question for you.

This rock formation.

Does that look like
it's near the waterfall?

-Hard to say for sure.

But it looks like the ones
up there. Why?

-For my mom's birthday,

I was thinking about
getting a necklace

made that matches the stone
from her ring.

-That's a great idea.
She'll love that.

[Sean sighs]

You know your mom
won't blame you

for the Nature Center, right?

She had a tough time
getting grants too.

-I know.

-So hiking all the way up
to the falls to find this stone

has nothing to do with
you feeling like

you're disappointing her?

-It's
about finding her something

thoughtful for her birthday.

And if you can manage here,

I'm gonna hike up
early tomorrow morning.

-Not tomorrow.
The Junior Rangers will be here.

-Right.

Yeah, okay, cool.
Thursday then.

-Thursday. Oh, and the
soap dispenser stopped working

in the women's bathroom again.

-Oh. Sounds like a Daisy job.

[Daisy] You wish.

-Yeah, I'll do it.

-♪ I see it all,
I see it now ♪

♪ I got the eye of the tiger
A fighter ♪

[car door slams]

-[exhales deeply]
Bringing a drink

would have been a good idea.

-You are not
going to like this.

-Uh-oh. What now?

-There's no hot water,
and the RV won't crank.

-Are you serious?

-Ranger Daisy thinks
that it's the starter,

so I called the owner
but he's out of town

and can't get anyone here
for a few days.

I bet that's part of why
I got such a good price on it.

-A few days? That's crazy.

What are we supposed to do?
I need to shower.

-There's always
the public one.

Just don't forget your quarters.

[chuckles guiltily]

-Quarters?

[birds chirping]

[leaves rustles]

All right. So how does
this thing work?

[coin clanks]

[water dripping]

[coins clank]

[birds chirping]

[knocking on door]

-[shower running]
-[Jackie humming]

-Hello.

Anybody in there?

[Jackie humming]

-What?

Oh, no.

[clattering]

That wasn't even five minutes!

Ugh. Where's the handle?

This is ridiculous.

[Sean clears throat]

Oh, good.
Someone else is in here.

Ah. Hi, can I borrow a quarter?

The stupid shower stopped on me
and I got soap in my eyes.

-Here you go.

-What are you doing in here?

-I'm handing out quarters
to unprepared glampers.

-Well, a decent guy would knock

before entering
the women's restroom.

-I did and I called out.
No one answered.

-What are you doing in here?

-I'm fixing the soap dispenser.

-Well, this place could use
some upgrades.

-Why don't you make me a list?
I will get right on it.

-Maybe I will!

[coin clanking]

-You use--
-Oh.

-I'll get it for you.

-Thank you.

[water flowing]

[birds chirping]

-Where's Byron right now?

-Ah, I think he's going
and scoping out the meadow

for the wedding.

[door closes]

-Hi, again! Wow, your hair
looks so clean.

[Jackie chuckles]

Here you go.

-What is this?

-The list you asked
for of everything

that's been overlooked
and needs fixing.

-I was kidding about that.
But you know what?

Let's have a
look. [sniffles] [clears throat]

-Well, that whole facility
could use some upgrades.

But let's start with
the soap dispensers.

-I was fixing those when
I ran into you, remember?

Done.

-And slip mats near the sinks
would make the place

much more functional.

And how about an app to accept
payment in the showers?

-An app? Really? Hm.

-Yes.

It can connect directly to one
of those things people use now,

called credit cards.

And how about individual soap
dispensers in the stalls?

-Oh Daisy, make a note
of that one.

Individual soap dispensers.

Let's try to find the kind
they have at the Four Seasons.

-[chuckles] I can assure you
from personal experience,

they don't have those there.
-Then why would we want them?

-So you can fill them with
organic plant-based soap.

That way people will use that
instead of bringing in

who knows what
and contaminating the grass.

Also, when I was jogging,

I noticed some puddles
of standing water.

All that's going to do
is attract mosquitoes.

-We'll make sure to take
all of this in consideration.

-Thank you.

Please text me when
things are working properly.

And next time, maybe
call out a little louder.

-I think she might like you.

-Oh yeah. She's my biggest fan.

[Daisy] She's a travel writer.
Let's look her up!

Wow. Look, some of her articles
have over a million views.

Sean, this could be
what we've been waiting for.

-What do you mean?

-If we can get her
to write an article

touting how great the
park is, more people will visit,

and then maybe
we could get a grant.

-You just saw her.

You think that woman is going
to write us a glowing review?

No way!

[insects chirping]

-Give me some of that chocolate.

-Oh yeah.

What's a s'mores without
some chocolate?

-Ah, yes.

[Annette chuckles]

-Evening, ladies!

-Hey, there!

[Sean] Ah. Please make sure
the campfire is completely out

before you head back
to your glamour camper.

Remember
if it is too hot to touch,

it's too hot to leave it.

-[dryly] You're just full of
helpful suggestions, aren't you?

-We will make sure to
put the fire out properly.

Do you want to stay
and have some s'mores?

-No, thanks. I gotta make
the rest of my rounds.

You two have a good night.

-Oh, we have some extra
marshmallows

if you change your mind!

-[soft chuckle] Bye.

-Well. There's some crackly
chemistry between you two.

-I think all this fresh air

is making you
completely delusional.

-No.

[♪♪]

Hey. Hi.

-What's going on?

-I have to go.

-Wait, what? Go where?

-Rebecca's husband
just texted me.

She's in labor.
I need to get to the hospital.

-But the baby's not due
for three more weeks.

-Tell the baby that, right?
Um, I hate to ask you this. But.

-Oh, no. What?

-.I need you to stay with the RV
until the owner can come fix it.

-You want to leave me!
Here?

All of this was
your suggestion!

-I know. [chuckles]
You'll be fine, though.

You'll be fine.

[Jackie grunts]

[Jackie sighing]

[car approaching]

[Annette] Bye!

-Hey.

[sighs] Are you alone now?

-Looks that way.

At least for the
next few days.

Annette's sister
went into labor,

so I have to stay with
the RV until it can get fixed.

-Well, there are worst places
to be stuck.

-Says you.

-Maybe if you relaxed,

you might enjoy the experience
a bit more.

-Thanks.
I'll keep that in mind.

-You know, this-- this is a
really great place to vacation.

I'm happy to take you to
the Nature Center if you want.

I can show you some of
the highlights of the park.

-Thanks. I think I'm just
gonna go get some work done.

-[mouthed] Okay.

-Ah, do you know where I can get
some decent Wi-Fi around here?

-Well, we do have it
at the Nature Center.

I always keep
an extra one on me.

-And would you look at that.

Nature Center's
already circled.

Thank you.
Appreciate it.

[leaves rustle]

This map doesn't make
any sense.

[groans]

[♪♪]

-All right, Junior Rangers.

Here we have some examples
of local plants

found around the park.

Now, we all know
pine cones, right?

They actually have these scales
that open up.

Each one holds two seeds.

So a pinecone like this

could hold the potential
for 50 trees.

If you've ever wondered
where bread comes from,

look no further than
our old friend Mr. Rye here.

This also grows locally
at the park.

And by the looks of it,
you wouldn't think

it would taste
as good as it does, huh.

Over here,
we have some information

about the local snakes,

including
the venomous copperhead.

Now, you're gonna want to
watch out for those guys

while you walk around.

But generally,
if you stay out of their way,

they will stay out of yours.

I often get asked about the myth

if baby snakes
are more venomous than adults,

but they're actually not.

That's not true.

-Hah. I could have sworn

I heard that the young ones
can be more deadly.

-Ah. Pretty sure
that's an old wives' tale.

-Well, I'm not an expert, but.

-But?

-I'm pretty sure
I'm right on this one.

-And I'm pretty sure
with my master's in biology

and years' experience
working in the park,

I know what I'm talking about.

-Okay, but do you know
everything?

-[chuckles] I never said
I know everything.

[Jackie] Well, I was watching
a nature show.

-A nature show? Really?

-Yes. I've been known to watch

educational programming
at times.

-I didn't know they get those
at the Four Seasons.

-All I'm saying is--

-And all I'm saying is--

-Actually, the babies
aren't more venomous,

but sometimes their jaw muscles
aren't well developed,

so they release more venom
at times.

-So I was right.
-So I was right.

-Basically, yeah,
you're both right.

-Thank you, Holden.

Maybe would you want to
stick around

for the rest of
the presentation?

You might have some
more information for us.

-I'd love to.

-Great. All right.

Moving on, some of the fish
found around the park

can be found right here.

One for you.

For you.

And you.

All right, guys.
Now remember,

the first person who completes
the scavenger hunt

will receive a prize
that is very useful

at tonight's campfire.

All right, everybody ready?

Go! [laughs]
-[children] Yeah. Yay. Let's go.

C'mon, c'mon,
let's go, you guys.

[children playing]

-Hope it's more useful
than the map you gave me.

-Umm.

[Jackie] I gotta admit you're
pretty good with the kids.

-Thank you. They're actually
my favorite part of the job.

I hope they'll continue
to be good stewards

of the land
of the next generation.

So? This is it.

What do you think?

-It's rustic.

-Yeah. Could use
a little bit of work.

We've been trying
to do renovations

but the money's been
a little bit tight.

We're trying to
apply for grants,

but so far.

hasn't worked out.

-Well, when it does,
you should incorporate

some interactive
electronic displays.

Might help bring
the place current.

-I don't know.

I really like the idea
of this place

not being dependent on tech.

Give people a chance to unplug.

Spend time with your friends
and family, you know?

-Yeah, but just keeping
and remodeling what's here

isn't gonna cut it.

You've got a lot of competition

when it comes to places
for families to vacation.

-Maybe.

But I'm optimistic.

I think what we really
need to do

is just get the word out

about what makes this place
special.

Like, our waterfall is amazing.

-I didn't see that on the map.

-Well that's a full day's hike
from here so that's.here.

[laughs]

Oh, check out the pics, though.

Yeah, they don't really
do it justice but.look at that.

-It looks pretty amazing.

-You know, I am
hiking up there tomorrow.

You're welcome to join
if you want.

-Might be nice.

You know, getting to
see that in person.

[mellow theme]

-Ranger Davis.
Can you come here?

-Ah. Be right there.

Excuse me.

Ah. What's up?

[mellow theme]

[insects chirping]

[laptop keys clacking]

[notification tone beeps]

[soft notes on guitar]

-Hey, Jackie.

-Okay, everybody eat your
dinner before it gets cold.

[kids clapping]

[Sean sighs]

-You play guitar, too?
A man of many talents.

-[fakes a southern accent]
Oh, my deah,

I am but a humble beginner.

-[Jackie chuckles]
-I know a couple songs though.

-Okay, so who wants to hear
a good ghost story?

-[kids] Me.
-[Daisy] Okay.

And by good, I mean I'm gonna
scare the pants off ya!

[chuckles] Okay.

Have I told you about
the ghost in the cabin?

[kids] No, no.

-[Daisy] It was dark--
-[Jackie] I can't remember.

the last time I saw a

group of kids
that weren't on their phones.

-That's what I love
about this place.

It takes you back
to a simpler time.

-If the offer is still good,

maybe I will let you
take me to the waterfall.

A break might be a good idea.
It might energize me.

-[Daisy] One night.
-Really?

Well, that's awesome.

You don't even
have to plan a thing.

I will take care of all of it.

Ah, it is a full day,
just so you know.

-Full day?

-You. don't worry.
You're gonna be glad you did it.

I promise.

Maybe we could leave
around eight?

-Okay, you got a deal.

[story narration continues]

[pop music playing]

[RV door slams]

-♪ I used to bite my tongue
And hold my breath ♪

♪ Scared to rock the boat
And make a mess ♪

♪ So I sat quietly
Agreed politely ♪

♪ I guess that I forgot--

[birds chirping]

[rumble of SUV engine]

-Morning!

[Jackie panting]

[car door closes]

-Hey there!
Is that backpack for me?

-Yep. Sean told me
he was taking you on a hike

up to the waterfall.

So I figured I'd let you
borrow mine.

-[chuckles]
That's so nice of you.

Although the more I think
about going that far away,

the more I wonder if
I'm making the right decision.

-Oh, with Sean? You have
nothing to worry about with him.

You're in good hands.

-[chuckles] No.
It's--it's not Sean

I'm worried about;
it's more animals.insects.

No doctor's office
for miles and miles.

[Daisy giggles]

-Morning.

-You two have fun!

-Thanks again.

-[exhales] So on a scale
of one to ten,

how excited are you
for this hike?

And why is it a ten?

[Jackie chuckles]

All right, I got everything
we need right here.

Food, first aid supplies,

and the one thing everyone
always forgets: sunscreen.

-Okay. Ah, just give me
a couple minutes to change

and I'll be ready.

-Sure.

[mellow theme]

-So, this is what park rangers
do for fun

when they're not playing guitar
or fixing soap dispensers.

-Oh, I would do this
every day if I could.

But this trip has a purpose.

We are looking for a sphalerite.

-Please tell me that's not
a type of spider.

-Oh, no, no.
It's a kind of mineral

that sparkles
more than a diamond.

-Really?
-[Sean] Mm-hm.

-I'm surprised
I've never heard of it.

-Well, it's not usually
turned into jewelry

because it's so soft.

But my father found it
41 years ago right in this park

and had it turned into
an engagement ring for my mom.

-Ah. Talk about romantic.

What color is it?

-Well, it comes in
lots of different colors.

But here.
I'll just show you.

Right there.

-Oh, it's gorgeous.

-Right?

-Your parents,
were they park rangers too?

-My mom was before she retired.

She actually had
the Nature Center built.

She really wanted people
to understand the importance

of respecting,
preserving nature.

How fragile it all is.

-I can see why you want to
renovate it so badly.

And your dad,
is he retired, too?

-He passed away a few years ago.

That's why it's so nice
Daisy found this photo of him.

-I'm sorry.

-Thanks.

He was a really good guy.

And I was lucky
to have him for a father.

-How did they meet?

-Right here at this park.

Both loved nature.

Dad was a biology student
at the university

and he was studying
the migration patterns

of black bears.

-So there's. bears?

-No, no, no. Don't worry.

We're not gonna see any
where we're going.

[chuckles] So what about
you and your family?

-Well, kind of like you,

I grew up with some
pretty great parents.

They encouraged me
to follow my dreams,

told me I could do anything
I wanted in life.

-Do you see them a lot?

-Oh, yeah. Quite a bit.

[chuckles] They still insist on
picking me up from the airport,

even though my company
reimburses me for a cab.

-Aw. They must miss you a lot.

-I think it's more
about saving money.

They're pretty frugal.

My dad still drives
the same silver pickup

he's had
for the last 20 years.

-But I bet
it's in mint condition.

-Actually, it is.

-Here. Let me take
some of the weight off you.

[mellow theme]

Uh, give me your food cans.

-Are you sure? You're
already carrying quite a bit.

-Oh. I've carried a
lot more gear than this before.

[mellow theme]

So, uh.

[mellow theme continues]

Well, we should get
going. There's a spot up ahead

where we can have lunch
we can stop at.

It's actually one of my
favorite places along the hike.

[rustle of zipper]

-Sounds like a great plan.

-Excuse me. Is this poison ivy?

-Mrs. Davis! Hey. Hi.
-[laughing]

-I didn't know you were
coming until Saturday!

-I figured I'd come a few days
early and surprise Sean.

Where's my handsome son anyway?

-He's, um,
he's on the upper loop.

-Oh, all the way out there.
What for?

-Oh, you know,
just wanted to take

one of the campers
hiking is all.

-[sighs] So, he's gone all day?

-Yeah. But I was just about to
head up to the market for lunch.

You want to join me?

-I'd love to.

-So how'd you get into the
whole travel writing thing?

Must be fun staying at
luxury hotels in Dubai. Paris.

-Someone looked
at my articles, I see.

-Someone did
leave her card with me.

-[laughs] True. I did.

[laughs]

-Well, after studying
journalism in college,

I took an internship
at a travel magazine.

And that's how
it all got started.

It was so different
from what I was used to.

As a kid, whenever we traveled,
we never stayed at hotels.

My parents have friends
in every state,

so we always just stayed
at someone's house.

-Was that to save money?

You said your parents
were frugal.

-That was part of the reason.

But also, they just. they
never want to do anything new.

Even when I offer to
take them to a fancy restaurant

and really splurge,
they don't want to go.

They'd rather just eat at
the same little old steak house

they go to every Sunday night.

-Sometimes those
places have great food.

-[laughs]
It's okay.

Not amazing.
-[Sean laughs]

-But I knew at a young age that
I needed a bit more variety.

And I always wondered
what it would be like

to stay at one of those
big, swanky five-star hotels.

-Look at you.
Now you know.

-Yep.

-I'm sure camping
was a big shock

to your system then.

And no wonder you loved
our shower so much.

[both chuckles]

-[inhales deeply]
It was a bit of a stretch.

But I gotta admit
it's growing on me.

[gentle music]

Oh, look. I think that
bird wants a bit of our lunch.

I saw another one of
those birds on my run earlier.

-That's actually
a northern cardinal.

-Ah.

-Oh, no. Don't feed him that.
I have some bird seed.

[gentle music]

So did you know,
unlike most northern songbirds,

both the males
and the females sing.

-I had no idea.

-Each mated pair will come up
with their own specific song.

They sing just for each other.

They also mate for life.

-You're pretty romantic
for a little bird.

-Yeah.
That's why they're my favorite.

[gentle music]

-So what now?

You want to head down
to the Equestrian Center?

-I hate to keep
you from your work.

-Oh, you're not. I need to empty
the bins down there anyway.

-Would you mind if we stopped
the Nature Center on the way?

Sean sent me his renovation
plan a few months ago and I'd--

I'd love to see
what he's done with the place.

-Um, yeah. Sure.

[chuckles]

[leaves rustles]

-[Dan] Ranger Sean?
-Dan?

What's wrong?
Where's your wife?

-She's okay.
We're all okay,

but I could really use
your help back at the campsite.

-Let's go.

[leaves rustles]

-Right this way.

We were playing fetch
with Rico's toy

and I threw it too far.

It went down here.

I know it seems silly,
but it's his favorite.

This way.

You see?

-It looks pretty far in there.

-Yeah, I tried to hook
with it a stick,

but I couldn't find
anything long enough.

-Don't worry.
We'll get it out.

I'm always prepared
for these types of situations.

Okay.

Constrictor knot should do it.

[clears throat]

It's too short.

I bet if we move
this top rock out of the way,

the rope would be
long enough to reach.

-All right.

-Ready? On three.
-Yeah.

-One, two, three!

[grunting]

-Okay. It's not gonna work.

[Jackie] What if we use some
sort of lever to move the rock?

-Let me guess. You saw that
on an educational program.

-Sixth-grade science class.

Work equals
force times distance, right?

-Yes, it does.
All right.

We just need a heavy stick then.

-All right. Uh.
hey, how about this one?

-Yeah, perfect.
-All right.

-All right.

You ready?
-Yep.

-On three.
-Right.

Okay. One, two, three!

[grunting]

[upbeat music]

[grunting]

[laughing]

[together] Success.

-Success.

-I guess I was wrong.

We did encounter a bear
on this trip.

[Dan] [chuckles]

All right, thanks.

-Oh, my gosh.
You got it out.

Rico, they found your bear.

-These two did.

-Oh, what a good boy.

Hello.
Hey, your puppy is adorable.

Can I take his photo?

-Oh, yeah. Of course.

[Jackie chuckles]

-Stay right there, buddy.

Stay right there.
Have a seat.

-Oh.
-[together] Oh, good boy.

[Sean chuckles]

[camera clicks]
-Oh.

[dog barking]

-Thank you.
[laughing]

-Hey, not to rush off
but we should get going

if we want to find
that sphalerite.

-Mm-hm.

-Thank you so much
for your help.

-Of course.

-Bye-bye, Rico.

-See you.

-Bye.

[sighs]

[leaves rustles]

-So this faslerite
we're looking for.

-Sphalerite.

-Yeah, that.

Are you planning
on turning it into a ring

for someone special?

Like your dad did for your mom?

-I'm actually having
made it into a necklace.

But yes, it is for someone
I love very much.

-What's her name?

-Evelyn.

-How long have you and Evelyn
known each other?

-[whistles] A long time.

About 36 years.

It's for my mom.

Her 60th is coming up.

And for a birthday gift,

I thought I would find
the same mineral

from the same stone

and have
a matching necklace made.

-Well,
that pretty much makes you

the most amazing son
on the planet.

-I know.
-[Jackie laughs]

-But to answer your question.

no, there's no one special
in my life right now.

[inhales deeply]

[Sean]
How about you?

[chuckles]

-It's hard when I'm
constantly traveling for work.

-Really?
Why is that hard?

-It's difficult to remain
close to someone

when you're gone
three weeks out of a month.

You don't think so?

-I don't know.
I think if you love someone,

you love them.

Whether you're 5,000 miles away

or sitting
right next to them, right?

-I suppose, but no one
wants to spend more time

missing someone
than actually being with them.

-Yeah, but that's
focusing on the negative.

It's emphasizing
what you don't have

instead of what you do.

Why not focus on
just making the most of the week

you do have together?

And that way when you're apart,

you have something
to look forward to.

-I can't argue with that.

[Sean chuckles]

[Jackie chuckles]

-[water crashing]
-You hear that?

-Is that waterfall?

-We're right there.

[laughs]

[water crashing]

-Wow.

You weren't kidding.

-Pretty amazing, right?

-I have to admit,
I was a little skeptical

when we first started out,
but you didn't exaggerate.

-Hmm. Alright,
so we're looking for

the rock formation here
behind my dad.

[water crashing continues]

-I don't see
anything like that.

-Yeah. Me either.

But my mom said they found it
on their hike up here,

so
it's got to be here somewhere.

-Okay.

[water crashing continues]

[car engine revving]

-Can we go in?

[water crashing]

-Let's see.

[water crashing]

[Jackie sighs deeply]

-I guess I was wrong.

It's not here.

-I'm sorry.

-I just. I know she's going
to be disappointed, is all.

-Did she know you were
coming up here to find it?

-No, no, no.

Uh,
what I really wanted to do was

have the Nature Center
renovated,

surprise her with that.

This was the next best thing.

[water crashing]

-Well, since we're here.

why don't we take the weight
off our legs for a little while.

-Are you sure?
We can go back-- -No, I want to.

You came all the way out here.

Should at least enjoy it, right?

[water crashing]

-Sean's been trying
really hard to get a grant.

It just hasn't. worked out.

-Mm.

-When he came up with the plans
to renovate, he was so excited.

-I know. It's not his fault.

He's done a terrific job
with the park.

I couldn't have left it
in better hands.

-You should tell him that.

-[exhales deeply] Mm.

[water crashing]

-Mm. It's nice, huh?

Not having to worry about
the clock for a change.

-You know,
this is the first time I think

I've seen you actually relax.

[chuckles]

It suits you.

-You know, if more people
knew about this,

you'd have lots of visitors.

-I mean, we would love
to get the word out.

You're a travel writer;

would you be up for maybe
writing an article about it?

-This place is nothing
less than spectacular, but.

-But?

-The magazines I write for

wouldn't be interested
in nature.

They're all about
five-star resorts,

Michelin-rated restaurants,
private yacht rentals.

-I understand.

-I wish I could help.

-I know.

It's just. [sighs]

I don't know,
we're trying so hard

to get the word out
about this place.

There's one more
grant application

I'm thinking of applying for.

-What?

-I'm mean,
I'm not sure if we qualify.

It's called the Lincoln grant.

It's given to non-profits
that focus on nature education.

-Which you do, right?

-Yes, but not well.

-Ah.

-At least not when it comes
to having physical proof of it

like an up-to-date
Nature Center.

But I'm not one to give up.

-Where there's a will,
there's a way.

-Exactly. I was able to
convert you, wasn't I?

-Me?

Definitely.

This has been.

better than expected.

In a lot of ways.

[soft music]

[snail drops]

What is that?
-[Sean laughs]

It's a snail.

-[disgusted] Ugh.

-Sometimes they get lucky
and the birds drop them.

There you go.

[Jackie laughs]

Let's take a selfie.

I want to prove to Annette

her plan to get me
to focus to actually worked.

[Sean chuckles]

[Sean grunts]

[camera clicks]

-Wow. You're really photogenic.

-[chuckles] Thanks.

-Let's see the photo
you took of little Rico.

-[Sean laughs]
-Oh, he's so cute.

If I were to get a dog I'd want.

Sean, look.

-Yeah, he's adorable.

-No, no, no.
That's not.

That's not what--

Ah, where's the photo
of your dad?

-Um.

[gentle music]

-Do you see it?
-Oh, my gosh.

That's it.
That's the rock formation.

-[chuckles]
We were right there.

[footsteps]

[chuckles]

That's it.

-We found it.

-[chuckles]
We found it.

[gentle music]

-[clears throat] I couldn't
have done it without you.

-Stand in front of it.
Let me take your picture.

-Okay.

[camera clicks]

Okay. Come on.

[gentle music]

[camera clicks]

-What a day, huh?

-What a day.
-[Jackie chuckles]

[Sean exhales deeply]

I should probably
get this to the jeweler in town

before he closes up
for the night.

She'll be here Saturday.

-She's going to love that.

You'll have to tell her
the story of how we found it.

-Oh, definitely.
I will be telling this story

for a long time.

-Will I see you tomorrow?

-I'll come by.

-Good.

-Well, I'll let you get
settled in for the night.

See you tomorrow.

-Yeah.

[receding footsteps]

[chuckles]

[car engine revving]

[door hinge creaks]

[Sean] Mom?

What are you doing here?

-Surprise!
-Hi!

-I decided to come
a couple days early.

[laughing]

Oh.

Figured I'd make you
homemade lasagna.

-Cool.

-[laughs]
Now sit down.

You must be starved
after such a long day.

-[Sean groans]
-Daisy said you hiked

the upper loop.
-Yeah.

I took a camper up there
to see the waterfall.

She said
she'd never seen it before.

-She?

-It's not like that, Mom.

She is a travel writer.

She spends all her
time traveling and or writing.

-Oh. Never heard you
mention taking anyone with you

on that hike before.

-Her friend she
was camping with had to go home.

And she was bored.

And I invited her,
and she went and that's it.

So, are you excited
for your birthday?

-[chuckles]
Sixty is the new 40.

That's what Daisy said today.

I don't know if
I believe her, but I'll take it.

-So you saw Daisy, huh?

-Yeah.
She drove me around the park.

We had lunch together
and went down to the lake.

-Did she show you
the Nature Center?

-[inhales] Hmm.

-Pretty disappointing,
right?

Sorry.

-For what?

-When you retired,
I promised you that

I would turn it into what
you always dreamed it would be.

I haven't.

-[scoffs] Not yet.

-I-I appreciate
that you're so positive,

but I am being realistic.

I have applied
to every grant except for one

and it's virtually impossible
to get

and they have all
turned me down.

I think it's okay to admit it
at this point.

I failed.

-[chuckles] The only way to fail
is to stop trying.

[soft music]

[plate clanks]

[gentle music]

[typing]

-Okay. The deadline is.

that's one week from now.

[inhales] I may not be able to
write an article for you, Sean,

but I can write
one heck of a grant essay.

[phone ringing]

Hey there, Auntie.

-Mom and the cutest little baby
boy are doing just great.

-That's wonderful!

-But I'm here alone
at the restaurant

missing my weekly dinner date.

-You didn't get enough of me
here in the wilderness?

-I was worried
about leaving you,

but you look like
you're still alive.

So did you happen to see
that cute ranger after I left?

-I actually did.

-And?

-I'll tell you about it later.

Right now
there's something important

I have to get back to.

-Don't tell me you're working.

-It's not for me, actually.

I'll explain everything
at our dinner next week.

-You better!

-I promise.
[chuckles] Bye.

-Bye.

[typing]

[gentle music]

-"Wildflowers and cardinals
and even bears

"aren't just a list of things
you might see if you go camping.

"They're part of something
bigger:

"an ecosystem
in which everything

"must remain in balance.

"This is one of the many
life lessons I learned

"from Park Ranger Sean Davis

"as he took me
on my first real hike

"through
the beautiful, unpredictable,

"and sometimes
even dangerous terrain.

"Just as a geologist
needs a rock pick

"to carve out a precious stone,

"a ranger as adept
and passionate as Ranger Davis

"can't accomplish his job
without proper tools.

"A new Nature Center
would give campers of all ages

"a first look into the wonders
of what the park has to offer.

"Where they could learn in a way

"that involves seeing,
feeling and touching

instead of words and photos
on a computer screen."

[gentle music]

-You all settled, Mom?

You need anything?

-I'll take a glass
of chocolate milk

and two graham crackers.

Do you remember asking me
for that every single night

when you were little?

-[chuckles] I guess
I forgot about that.

[Evelyn laughs]

[sighs]
Funny how things change, huh?

-Yeah.

-At night, I'd see if you
need anything and next morning,

I'd be the one getting ready
to go into work at the station.

Now it's you.

-Mom, if I had to follow
in someone's footsteps.

yours seemed like
a pretty good fit.

-[chuckles] Oh.

[chuckles]

-Good night, Mom.

-Good night, sweetie.

[inhales and exhales deeply]

[soft music]

[Jackie] "This grant would
offer the same experience

"to even more people,

"and hopefully change their
perspectives as well.

"With this grant funding,

"Ranger Davis
and the rest of the park staff

"would have the ability

"to not only reimagine
the park's Nature Center

"into one designed to educate
people in the 21st century,

"but the power to teach others
to also be important stewards

"of our one and only home,
Planet Earth.

"Please consider offering

[soft music]

I hope this does it, Sean.

You deserve to see
your vision come true.

[mellow music]

[sighs deeply]

[mellow music]

[loud knocks on door]

[grunts] Just a minute!

[loud knocks continue]

Are you kidding me? [sighs]

-Ah. Good morning.

Havin' a problem with your RV?

-It's not even 6:30.

Can you come back later?

Yeah. Yeah. How about
a week from Tuesday?

No, no, no, no,
that's, that's okay.

I need to get this fixed.

Okay.

I-see, how this works is,

I need to come in there
and turn her over,

see what she's doing.
I can't, uh,

I can't do it from here, so.

-Okay. Okay.
Give me five minutes.

-Five-- five minutes.

Okay. [indistinct].

All right.
I'll just.

I'll just be here then.

Revisiting
all my fantastic life choices.

[car door slams]

-It's all yours.

I'm heading to the market.
I'll be back soon.

-That was longer
than five minutes.

-Real charmer, that one.

-I gave your repairman
directions to your RV.

It'll be nice to get
that fixed so you can head home.

So how was the waterfall?

-It was incredible.

I am so glad I went.

Oh, here.
-Thanks.

-Ah. Did he tell you
we found that flaspherite

he was looking for?
-The sphalerite?

No way.
That's terrific.

-By the way, do you know
what time Sean comes in today?

-Oh, yeah.
His mom came in early.

So he texted me this morning

and said he was gonna
hang out with her till noon.

Why?

-There's just something
I want to show him.

Actually, do you have a printer
in your office I could use?

-Sure. As long as you're
not printing out War and Peace.

Budget doesn't cover that.

-[chuckles] No,
it's just a couple of pages.

I promise.

Ah, there's something
I want to give him a copy of

when he gets in.

-Go for it. I have to check in
with some visitors this morning.

But any time after 10, you can
go on in and help yourself.

-Perfect.
Gives me time to shower.

-Oh, and remember to plug
the key code into the lock.

-What's the key code?

-1-2-3-4.

[inhales and exhales deeply]

[soft music]

[lock beeping]

[soft music]

[printer beeping]

-Okay, that looks a lot better.

Thank you for the vase.

-Are you gonna write
a little note to go with it?

-Should I?

I mean,
I'm gonna hand them to her.

I assume she'll know
they're from me.

-Yeah, but the note
is something she can keep

after the flowers die.

-Good point.

-Hm-mm.

[Daisy] And what about
the travel article?

-Ah. There isn't gonna be one.

-You mean you weren't able
to convince her

to write one for us?

Even after
she saw the waterfall?

-Unfortunately, no.

She wanted to,

but none of the magazines
she writes for

would publish
something like that.

-Bummer.

-Yeah. But the whole trip turned
into so much more than that.

Because I found myself
wanting to show her

all these
little cool things about hiking

and nature and camping.

I found myself
wanting to spend time with her.

-That's what
you should write in the note.

[soft music]

[trash can clanking]

[car engine revving]

[soft music]

-Excuse me, sir.

The RV that was right here.
Did you see it leave?

-Yeah, sorry boss.
She left about 10 minutes ago.

You just missed her.

She looked like she couldn't
wait to get out of here, either.

I thought
she had ants in her pants.

[birds chirping]

-Good Lands,
what happened to you?

-She already left.

I guess she didn't feel
like saying goodbye.

[somber music]

-Uh.

[car approaching]

[somber music]

[door slams]

-[sighs deeply]
Home sweet home.

[bag thuds]

[crumpling paper]

-[sighs deeply]
Back to real life.

[somber music]

[somber music]

-Just-- just please.
Give me a call.

[door hinge creaks]

[Sean] [on voicemail]
Uh, hi, Jackie. It's Sean.

Look. I don't know why
you left this morning

without telling me goodbye,

but I found the essay you wrote
for the Lincoln grant for us.

The things that you said
about the park, about me.

Uh, just-- just please,
give me a call.

-Sure, I'll call you back.
I love being used.

[somber music]

-This is delicious,
Mrs. Davis.

You're gonna have to give me
the recipe.

-The secret's
in the sauce. See, I--

[Sean] I just. I--I don't know
what I did wrong.

How could she write
all those wonderful things

in the grant application and
then just disappear like that?

-[plate clanks]
-[Evelyn] Honey, have you.

thought about
going to see her in person?

-I can't do that.

-Why not? Fortune favors
the bold.

The bold, Sean!

-Well, I don't know
where she lives, Mom.

-Her address
is in the registry.

[Jackie]
Come on, Rob.

You promised me the piece
on the Tahitian resort.

That one's been mine
since it was announced.

I'll have that draft for you
this afternoon.

Can you send me the contact
info for the Vancouver hotel?

And.
-[knocks on door]

Rob, we'll talk soon.
Okay?

-Can we talk?

Please.

[Jackie sighs]

[door lock unlocks]

-What are you doing here?

-This, Jackie.

How could you write these words
and not even say goodbye?

I thought that.
-[defensive] You thought what?

-I don't know.

Maybe it was just me,
but I thought

we had a connection.

-Go ahead and use what I wrote.

That's what you wanted, right?

All the charm,
all the time you spent with me,

you just wanted to use me
for publicity.

-That's not true!

I enjoyed the time
we spent together. A lot.

-So, you weren't hoping that by
taking me up to the waterfall

that I'd write an article on it?

-[scoffs] No.
That was Daisy's idea

and I thought
it was a terrible one.

I invited you on that hike

because
I wanted to show you something,

to share something with you

that I thought might
make you like the park more.

But it quickly became
about something else.

Jackie,
it became about being with you.

Laughing, having fun,
getting to know each other.

I haven't opened myself up
like that in a very long time.

[paper ripping into pieces]

[Sean] This doesn't mean
anything to me.

You do.

-I don't know what you hoped
to gain by coming here, Sean.

But I'm sorry,
I. I have a lot of work to do.

I need to get back to it.

-Can you throw this away for me,
then?

I don't wanna litter.

Goodbye.

[birds chirping]

Happy birthday.

-Thank you.

-Oh. While you open this,
I'm gonna cut the cake.

-What did you get me?

-Just open it.

[ Evelyn chuckles]

-Oh, sweetheart.

Is this--?

-From the same stone
Dad found your ring.

[Evelyn] [chuckles]
I can't believe it.

How'd you find it?

-Actually Jackie found it.

We were helping this couple
retrieve a dog toy

and then Jackie took a picture
of the dog

and the dog looked at me
and it's--

it's a long story.

Do you like it?

-I love it.

[car engine revving]

[birds chirping]

[car door closes]

[door opens and closes]

-Hey. Sorry I'm late.

-Oh.

-Oh, here you
go, Mrs. Davis. Happy birthday.

-Oh, thank you, honey.

-Oh, you opened it.

-Isn't it incredible?

-Yes.

-What's this?

-Oh, I don't know.

A messenger brought by earlier
and asked me to sign for it.

Oh, I love
how it catches the light.

[Evelyn chuckles]

-It's from the Lincoln grant.

-I didn't know
you applied for it.

-I didn't.

[paper rustling]

"Dear Miss Sinclair.

"Thank you for applying
for the Lincoln grant.

"Our mission
is to expand the awareness

"of nature's resources
and increase education

"about the importance of
preserving our nation's parks.

"We are pleased.

"to inform you
that we are awarding

this year's grant
to Willford State Park."

-Are you serious?

I thought you ripped it up.

-She must've
sent it in anyway.

-Oh my gosh, Sean!
This is amazing!

-I can't believe she did this.

-I think
this is a sure enough sign

for you to drive back
down there.

-She made it clear.

She doesn't want to
see me again.

-Well,
maybe she changed her mind.

[Evelyn] Sean, do you know why
I love this necklace so much?

-Because it reminds
you of the one Dad gave you?

-Yes. But more importantly,

when I look at this necklace
or the ring,

I remember the day
we hiked up that trail,

decided to rest in the shade
of those rocks

and saw this sphalerite
shimmering in the sun.

Your father and I felt
we'd discovered a treasure

we didn't even know
we were looking for.

I imagine that's how
you and Jackie felt

when you found it too.

Now this memory belongs to
me and your father,

but this belongs to
you and Jackie.

Now, maybe it'll be just
one of hundreds

of fun little stories
you'll tell at dinner parties

or over a beer with a friend.

Or maybe it'll be the story
the two of you share

for the rest of your lives,

when someone asks about
the moment you knew

she was the one.

Only you
can make that decision, Sean.

Which do you want it to be?

[mellow theme]

-She's got a point.

-Okay.

I'll try.

But
I'm gonna need reinforcements.

-And then she said
the baby waved his little hand

like he was playing a violin
or something.

Apparently it was so cute.

You're not listening,
are you?

-I am.

-What did I just say?

-I'm listening.

[Annette]
I know you, Jackie.

It just sounds
like a big miscommunication.

I mean, do
you really want to let something

that could be so special
just slip away?

[mellow theme]

[dog barking]

[dog barking continues]

[door latch unlocks]

[door hinges creak]

-Sean?

-Remember that puppy that lost
his bear? This is his brother.

-And you brought it here, why?

-Oh, uh, he's got a question
for you.

-He does?

-Mm-hm. Oh.

-Okay.

Okay.

He wants to
know if you and I can start over

from the beginning.

And if you'll
accept my apology, because.

well, I think
you're the most amazing woman

I've met in a very long time.

I would never use you
to get to your writing skills.

-I kind of figured that out

when you ripped
the grant application

into a million pieces.

-I know that
you submitted us for that,

and because of you,
we got it.

-What?!
That's wonderful news.

-So what's your
new friend's name?

-Well, I was kind of hoping
you could help me with that.

You know,
team effort.

-I might be able to
come up with some suggestions.

-Oh. What was that?

Okay, I'll ask.

-[laughs] What does
he want to know now?

-Well,
soon-to-be-named puppy here

was wondering if I could
finally have a kiss from you.

-I can't think
of anything I'd like more.

[mellow theme]

[chuckles]

-Hi.

-You got a new friend.

-Aren't you gonna miss
the way it was?

Even a little?

-Oh, it served its purpose.

I'm excited to see
what the new improved version

is going to look like.

-Hey, guys.

-They're here!

-Thank you.
It means a lot to me.

-All I did was
fill out an application.

-No, I didn't mean the grant.

-Oh, what were you
thanking me for?

-For making my son so happy.

-Hey, guys.

-Hey.

To new beginnings.

Cheers!

-Cheers.
-Cheers.

-[breathes deeply]
Well, here we go.

-Here we go.
