Good morning, Mrs. Lafleur.

You should see 342 on the right.

Okay. Room 342 is in sight.

Housekeeping is clear.

Kitchen is in the pot.

What does that mean?

I heard from spa she got into the hot tub for a massage.

You have plenty of time.

Black op is a go.

I repeat, Operation Feather Cap is on.

Do you really need to speak in code?

Of course, it's way more fun.

Annie, it took me weeks to persuade you to let me do this.

And now you've gone all espionage on me?

Well obviously, I found my true calling.

Right.

Okay.

I'm here.

Coast is clear.

The eagle has landed.

Now you've got me doing it.

Okay, I have to go.

Let me know when you're leaving.

You got this, Stella.

I, uh. Sorry.

- I didn't know-- - No. I'm sorry.

I didn't hear you knock.

Housekeeping told me there

wasn't anyone here, so I didn't knock.

Are you sure you have the right room?

Because my mother never eats breakfast, right?

Right. No, I mean, I'll--

- I'll just come back later. - No. Please, just--

Just leave it.

I'm starving. What did she order?

Eggs?

Yogurt?

I see.

Fruit salad.

That'll do.

There's no food, is there?

I never knew there were hats on the menu.

I wanted your mother to see it.

So she would hire you to make her hats for the Derby.

I couldn't get her stylist

or her assistant to look at my portfolio.

I thought if she just saw my designs...

Sometimes I think women are more interested in hats

than horses at the Derby.

Stella, do you copy?

- Yes. I'm here. - We have a code red.

The target is returning.

I repeat, the target is incoming.

Are you okay?

I... Sorry.

Your mother.

Every year, Derby prep week gets busier and busier.

I feel as overbooked as a sorority pledge.

What time is the charity luncheon?

Noon. And I'm sorry about your massage.

As your assistant, I should have been on top--

I've had a million of them in my lifetime.

I'll have a million more.

What do you think? The pink dress for the luncheon?

It's a good one to start.

Hello, sweetie.

- Mwah. Did you sleep well? - Yes.

I'm glad to see you ordered something.

Yeah. I'm heading to the downs

before I return to the farm.

Okay, well, we are very busy with our events, and I will see

you later.

Oh, is that a roach?

Oh, no. It's just the brown of the lily. Just--

I've never heard of a roach in a lily before.

Are you going to the Lexington Downs to change

Wildflower Wish from the Derby to The Elm?

It makes sense for her to run with all the fillies

and not the colts.

No, I'm heading there to do paperwork.

She's racing in the Derby.

Oh, she's such a good filly.

She deserves to have a chance to to win something.

Hm. Mh-hm.

- Is that a man on that tree? - Where?

Right there at the very, very top.

- I don't see anything. - Me niether.

Oh no, it's just a bird. It's a bird.

Oh. I'm sorry. Um...

I should get ready to go.

His horse is spooking.

Must be rubbing off on him.

The lead up to the race is always very stressful.

Well, let's take a look at your beautiful, lovely hats.

Oh, this is interesting, Odette.

Not like your others.

- I need to check into how-- - You never do

metallics for me.

Well, you've always said they're too dramatic.

I'm not sure how--

This one is fetching.

And I'll be wearing it today.

How I didn't circle back to it sooner.

Yes. This takes our elegant bird theme to another level.

It's so whimsical and romantic.

I think this is our year to win the Bradbury Hat competition.

A hat like this is just the ticket.

I agree with you completely.

You know the woman who made it?

Dropped it off here earlier today.

Oh, here's her number.

Wait. Who did?

I thought you might want

a milliner with fresh ideas this year.

Odette, your instincts are why the House of Odette

Fashions are always so fashion forward.

Let's snap her up before old Mimi does.

Well, she's not answering the phone.

She was just here.

She may still be in the hotel.

Oh, I'm so sorry.

Well, you put your job on the line, and I messed it up.

You don't know that.

He could have so easily called you out, but he didn't.

Anyway,

you got to hang out with Christian Fairchild.

God. He's gorgeous.

Sometimes I worry about you.

See you later.

Thanks for your help.

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

- Hi. - Hi.

Well,

I noticed that you favored pink last year, but also thought

that you would look gorgeous in gold.

- So. Ta da! - Well,

we particularly love the way you align those feathers.

Very striking.

And in keeping with our bird theme this year.

Thanks. I guess you could say I...

I was inspired by a rooster's comb.

Well, sometimes when I wear a hat, I do feel like a bird.

But never a rooster, though.

No, of course not.

I'm so sorry, but I have to go to a luncheon.

Odette is going to give you all the sketches of my outfit.

So you can design the hats for them.

Are you familiar with the Bradbury Hat competition

they have every year at the Derby?

Of course.

Well, I haven't won in a while.

Which for a woman who is involved in the Derby, as I am.

It's not a good thing.

I was hoping this would be my year.

So why don't you and Odette work together to make that happen?

It's very nice meeting you, Stella.

Thank you.

It's gorgeous.

Thank you.

I really look forward to working with you.

I've spent decades building my business.

I'm not going to let some gutsy upstart tarnish its reputation.

I give you two days

or less.

The thing is, she might be right.

Maybe I don't have what it takes.

I mean, Rosiland Fairchild.

Hello?

Milliner magazine named you one of the 20 up and comers.

Yeah, but that was from my work in Saint Pete.

I moved here over a year ago, and I've sold three hats,

and one of them was to you.

You grew up in Saint Pete.

You had all your friends and family to draw upon.

It takes time to build a business from scratch.

Yeah, well,

what if I just got lucky there?

But here?

Not so much.

Hey, it's totally normal to have imposter syndrome.

- Imposter syndrome? - Yeah.

That's what you're calling my very real concern.

I felt the same way

when they offered me the assistant manager job

when I moved from Connecticut.

You did?

Yeah, I doubted myself for the first three months.

I was convinced they would wake up

and realize their mistake.

Okay, I see your point.

It's just that

winning the Bradbury Prize for the best yDerby hat is a

big deal.

It would solidify my career here.

I'm sure it would.

Past winners have opened shops in Louisville

and attracted buyers from all over the world.

Kate Middleton bought a hat from last year's winner.

Then you need to go for it.

Put your heart and soul into making the best hats ever.

Yeah.

I just need to get a feel

for who Rosiland is and what she likes.

I'd say you should get a feel for her son first.

Stop it.

Come on, Stella.

He's charming and single.

Okay, if I'm going to win this prize,

I need to stay focused on work, not romance.

Fine. Fine.

Then you have the time to help

me chop some peppers, roommate.

I didn't want to go overboard on the feathers, but

if you like them, I could add more around the outer edge.

I got these feathers

at an artisan craft fair in Saint Pete.

And I have been waiting for the perfect hat to use them on.

Well,

- bless your heart. - Yes.

Bless your heart.

Bless your heart.

I'm so glad you like it.

These scones are amazing, by the way.

Hannah made them.

Then I think I'll have another.

Oh, I have some lemon

ginger ones that you should try.

Thank you.

Ginger's my favorite.

I take full responsibility.

This was a risky choice.

The hat is just...

It's not me.

I can get some reliable looks together

and we can forget this ever happened.

I like that she's taking risks.

It's best to cut her loose now before things go off the rails.

And she talks us into a bad choice.

Of course. You're right.

But maybe I should try something different.

No!

Ha! I have just been informed that Mimi also plans

on using the bird theme for her hats this year.

- Oh, no. - I hardly told anyone.

I haven't uttered a word.

Me neither.

That woman hasn't had an original idea in her whole life.

She's always doing this.

As they say, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

- We need another theme. - Oh!

How about Paris?

We did that four years ago.

I've always wanted to do a tribute to the Queen.

She did visit the Derby during her reign.

The dresses would have to be made specifically for that.

What if we used your family's illustrious history?

Say more.

Uh.

We could take visits from impressive

figures and your horse's Derby wins over the years

to inspire the hats looks.

For example, the Queen wore pillbox

hats in the 1980s and wide brimmed hats in the 1990s.

I could take the style of the hat she wore

when she visited, and we'll update the look.

I like it.

I guess there could be something there, but--

Hannah,

could you talk to Roger about

showing Stella around the farm tomorrow?

Sure.

And in fact, let's have you stick around the studio

on Derby week to help Stella out.

It's all hands on deck, y'all.

Of course.

Then it's settled.

Derby history.

I'm really going to enjoy watching Mimi Sterling

trying to figure out what it is.

Hi.

- Oh, hey. - So?

How'd it go?

It went well.

She's changing her hat theme, though,

so I'm going to work on making her a new one.

But when I showed her the hat I brought, she...

Well, she told me to bless my heart,

but they all did. It was,

- it was very sweet. - Great.

Yeah.

I've researched Derby fashion,

but there's this whole social element.

Some rivalry with a woman named Mimi.

Yeah. They have history.

So my one piece of advice

when working with my mother would be,

don't eat the scones.

It is the absolute worst thing a southern woman can say to you.

But it sounds so nice.

Think of it like

someone feeding you a piece of chocolate

laced with arsenic while smiling cheerfully.

Yikes.

I thought I was well prepared,

but I guess I'm going to need you to school me

in all things Kentucky high society.

Sorry, I,

I'm not your girl for that.

Come on. You've lived here longer than me.

Coming from Connecticut, I'm still a foreigner.

And Louisville high society is its own beast.

Yeah.

I'm sure you'll figure it out.

We'll see.

Good morning.

Hi. Yes. Good morning. I'm Stella.

You must be Roger.

I'm here for a tour of the farm for Miss Fairchild's hats.

Ah.

For their inspiration.

- I mean. - Yes.

Come this way, miss.

I feel like I've seen this painting before.

Well, naturally, that's a Barbara Rieger,

a contemporary American artist who paints horses.

Did she ever visit the farm?

Roger?

Hello?

It would really help me

if you were wearing a hat.

She's never had a problem having her shoes

changed before, so I don't understand.

Well, the farrier said he could stay a little longer.

- Maybe give it another try. - Yeah.

Good girl.

Oh, hey.

You managed to sneak your way in here, too.

Impressive.

Actually, I was supposed to go on a tour with Roger, but he...

He disappeared.

Oh, there was an event in the barn.

He's probably just cleaning up.

Hi. I'm Stella.

- I'm Mandy. - Our farm manager.

I'd shake your hand, but I've been around horses

all morning. They smell.

No worries.

I actually love that smell.

- Really? - Yeah.

I grew up on a farm with horses down in Saint Petersburg.

And who's this?

This is Wildflower Wish.

We, her intimates, we call her Willa.

May I?

Yeah.

Good morning, Willa.

Oh, wow.

She is taken with you.

Well, she's a friendly girl, aren't you? Yes.

She wasn't so friendly with the guy who was going

- to change her shoes earlier, - She must've felt nervous.

Yeah, she has been antsy recently.

Oh, if you put a piece of tape

on her nose, you'll have much better luck.

Tape?

Yeah, or anything sticky.

It'll distract her from whatever's bothering her.

I think just walk her around

for a bit and let's see how that goes.

No, it it works.

I promise.

Oh.

Can I show you?

Sure.

Boop.

Try and lift her foot now.

Okay.

Oh, look at that.

Works every time.

All right. I guess I'll take her back to the farrier.

Come on.

I guess I should look for Roger.

I would be happy to show you around.

What would you like to see?

Anything having to do with your family's history

with the horses or the Derby?

That shouldn't be too hard.

After you.

- Is that from the Derby? - Yes.

That's Sunset Peak's. And Capri Breezes'

trophy is in the Derby Museum.

Two does seem a little obsessive.

I mean, where would you put the other?

Those horse names are really fodder for hat ideas.

Well, you have more fodder in the barn

with the horses if you want to.

Then we'd really be off to the races.

Is that--?

The Queen?

Yeah.

That's a marvelous hat she's wearing.

Oh, no.

Excuse me.

I can't believe this.

Hey, Christo.

What are you doing here, Davidson?

Borden's Toreador, for the Derby.

No, I don't think so.

I worked this out with you eight months ago.

- What's the problem? - Well, a lot has

changed since then.

Oh, you mean since Toreador's on his winning streak?

Yeah, well, sure.

But I think there's plenty of room here for all of us.

It'd be just like old times.

Hey, come on, bro,

where am I supposed to stay this late in the game?

Lexington's all booked up.

Okay, fine.

Just stay out of Willa's and my way.

Sure.

Oh, good morning.

Is it?

You look like someone ran you over.

I'm sorry.

I got carried away working on this hat.

Well, I hope you worked on the design for the Derby

hat, too.

The competition for the Bradbury's steep.

I did a few drawings.

No.

No.

No, all these look like you're trying too hard.

Yeah.

I was just trying out some new ideas.

I'll keep at it.

First, you need to clean yourself up.

Rosiland will be here in a little bit.

Of course.

Hi, Christian.

Good morning, Odette.

Is Stella here?

- Hi. - Hey. Do you have a second?

Uh.

Sure.

The Derby hat won't make itself.

We'll be quick.

I'm so sorry, I just--

I don't think I can help you.

Well, what you did with the tape,

and then later soothing her when Toreador arrived.

Look, they both worked.

Toreador really rattles her, huh?

Yeah.

But you seem to have the opposite effect.

My dad taught my sister and me tricks with our horses.

But by no means am I a horse whisperer.

It doesn't matter. You got good instincts.

Now that you mention it,

I could actually use your instincts.

Really?

Yeah. I don't know much about the do's

and don'ts of your mother and her friends.

As far as their preferences are concerned.

I wouldn't call myself an expert on that.

Yeah, but I bet you know more than you think you do.

And I could use your input so I don't have another

bless your heart incident.

I see.

Maybe we could help each other.

Huh. Okay.

Stella Stone, you got a deal.

Christian told me about the horses

and I was inspired by Sunset Peak's Derby win.

I wanted something as vibrant and as joyous as a sunset.

Something truly original.

Original?

I don't think original is the right word.

I'd call it striking.

No one will have anything like it.

I mean, I,

I do want to try something different, but...

Well, let's try it with the outfit.

Okay.

Oh, yes.

With the pink. It works.

It's superb.

Well, all righty then.

Sunset Peak it is.

Original is what we call things we think are strange.

And we don't market in strange here

at the house of Odette.

- Understand? - Yes.

- Hi. - Hey.

- You ready for the Rose gala? - Yeah.

We're getting ready to head out.

What are you wearing?

A dress?

Yes. What does it look like?

Oh, is this part of our deal?

Yes, ma'am.

Okay. It's,

velvety, dark purple,

eggplant, even?

Hello?

Okay, you need to stop.

- Do not leave the house. - Okay.

Is there at least a colorful pattern on it?

No.

But wait. I thought purple would be okay.

Yes, but

this party is all about spring colors, brights and pastels.

Okay, so light blue would be okay.

Yes.

And I trust you've got a hat.

- Of course. - Great.

See you in a bit.

So I'm guessing we need to change?

Yeah.

Thank you so much.

We worked so hard on it.

As long as it looks good.

It's beautiful. Thank you.

Okay. He told us to wait in the entryway

and he'd come find us.

Okay.

Wow. You look great.

- Thanks. - You both do.

Nice to meet you, Annie.

- You too. - Come.

My mom's been asking about you.

Rosiland.

I couldn't wait to see your hat.

Everyone's talking about. It.

Hello, Mimi.

It's so not what I imagined for you.

So daringly beautiful.

Well, this is the designer, Stella Stone.

Hi.

She's working with Odette this season.

Well, then, young lady.

That is Mimi Sterling.

Was that a...

Bless your heart?

I don't actually think so.

Stella, dear.

Yes, ma'am.

There is a fine bottle

of champagne on ice at the bar waiting for you and your friend.

Thank you.

Well done.

You think she likes it?

People have been complimenting her ever since she arrived.

No one's blessed her heart?

Not once.

You guys go ahead.

I have some friends I need to say hi to first.

Okay.

Hi!

We were told there was a bottle of champagne.

Thank you.

Now, this I could get used to.

To you and your crazy talent.

You left the shop in Saint Pete for greener pastures.

And here you are,

not only landing on your feet, but also in a bed of roses.

And, and to my best friend who not only gave me

a place to stay, but made it feel like home.

It couldn't have landed anywhere without you.

Hard to drink champagne without toasting, isn't it?

I wouldn't dream of it.

Hey, weren't you at the Fairchild farm the other day?

Yeah, I was just dropping the horse

I train off at the stable.

Yeah, I was there.

She's making hats for Rosiland Fairchild.

That's great. She's an amazing woman.

Like a mother to me.

- Really? - Yeah.

Christian and I, we grew up together.

I trained Willa,

and a few of the other Fairchild horses,

till about a year ago.

Well, Willa's an amazing horse,

you must be a very good trainer.

You must be an amazing hat maker.

Because that is beautiful.

- I made it! Yeah. - Yeah? No.

Well, because she just told me that.

The flowers look lovely.

Is there anything we've forgotten?

I was thinking maybe we should invite Stella to this.

I mean, it's not a hat-wearing event,

but she likes horses, and she might want to meet the jockeys.

That is a wonderful idea.

Please call her.

Hey, Hannah.

- Is everything okay? - Oh, yes.

Rosiland is throwing her annual tribute

for the jockeys today, and she'd like for you to come.

That sounds lovely.

Wait. I didn't make her a hat for that.

That's because it's a barbecue

here at the farm, it's really relaxed.

Chance for us all just to take a breather.

- Let her hair down. - Great.

What should I wear?

Oh, Something casual.

It's a real down home farm event.

Starts at noon.

Okay. See you then.

Hey, and Hannah.

Thank you for including me.

My pleasure.

I'm really glad you're here.

My party. Smiles everyone.

Stella!

Welcome.

Hannah, I need to go home and change.

Don't be silly.

You'll miss the party. Come.

Rosiland was asking about you.

Oh, it looks like she's busy right now.

Oh, here. Meet Rick and Ryan.

They're riding in the Derby.

Ya'll, this is Stella.

- Hey. I'm Rick. - Hi.

- Nice to meet you. - Ryan.

- Nice to meet you. - Pleasure.

Excuse me.

Well, I don't know about you,

but those ribs are looking pretty good to me.

They sure do. Join us?

Yeah.

After you.

Hey. Did you ever reach Stella?

Uh-huh.

Right there.

Looks good guys.

Oh, I see.

I always find it's better just to use my hands.

That's how my family always did it.

- That's so good. - So good.

I haven't eaten a rib in decades.

Me neither.

Stella is basically a hay seed.

I'm sure Rosiland will fire her soon.

Hey, girl.

You having a rough day too?

Sometimes it's hard to get things right, isn't it?

Hey, what's going on?

Hi. Just taking a little break from the barbecue.

I didn't know you were there.

Yeah, I tried to reach you earlier.

Seems I got the wrong memo for the dress code.

I'm so sorry.

I really am.

Yeah. Hannah told me

barbecue casual, but she's wearing a cocktail dress.

Not an accident, I think.

Yeah, she's a tough nut to crack.

Yeah, I know the type.

It's okay.

I'm going to win her over with sheer kindness.

Mm. Good idea.

How's Willa holding up?

Well, with Toreador in here now,

she's been antsy all morning.

I have an idea.

You go first.

It was your idea.

That's even better than I remember.

How does one decide

to become a milliner in this day and age?

What do you mean?

It just seems like a job from another century.

Like a cobbler, a tailor or a candle maker.

When I was a kid, I saw a picture of a woman

at the Derby with this big,

- amazing hat. - Yeah.

She looked so beautiful.

Her hat was like a celebration of the joy she felt.

I knew then and there

I wanted to be part of creating that feeling for people.

Sounds like it's your calling.

Yeah. I want it to be.

When I moved here

last summer, I gave myself two years to make ends meet.

Winning this Bradbury prize would give me the attention

I need to make it work here in Louisville.

I don't know much about hats,

but I can see that you are very talented.

I'm sure you can do it.

Well, what about you? Horses.

Oh, well, horses have been in my family forever.

Since I was a kid,

I was always in the barn, always riding.

My dad had race horses, so.

And he encouraged you to do it seriously?

Yeah, but

my friend Davidson,

he's the one that really convinced me to do it.

He was the guy who came to the farm

the other day with his horse.

Yes, that is him.

- You're rivals now? - No.

I don't know. I'm not sure.

I mean, one of the horses he was training

started displaying aggressive behavior on the track and

he was working him so hard that the horse had to be retired.

I'm just not sure what Davidson was trying to prove.

Having Toreador in the barn

was making Willa so skittish.

Oh, I see that.

I don't know if she's ready for the Derby anymore.

My mother thinks that she should just ride in the elms

with the other fillies.

Yeah, but, you know, horses run in the Derby too, right?

Yeah, but it's pretty rare.

Only three have won in the race's 150 year history.

So you're saying she's got a shot?

Maybe Willa's not Derby ready because I'm not.

Should have just got her another trainer.

Well.

I think self-doubt

is super normal in the face of something big.

My dad used to say to my sister and me,

"When the going gets tough, tough get going."

I think he was just, urging us to be resilient

in the face of something tough.

You know, to keep going.

Even when the odds are stacked against you.

Wait. Doesn't that mean that you should get yourself

back to the party?

Yeah, probably.

- Yeah. - For the record.

At the Derby they say,

"The bigger the hat the bigger the luck."

Being the one responsible for making your mom's hats, so.

I got you covered.

Oh thanks.

I have to show these

Odette today, so be honest.

They're all amazing.

Now, if only you were Odette.

Well, I bet she's going to like one of these.

I hope so. Wish me luck.

Oh hey, Hannah,

can I get your opinion about something?

Sure.

Okay. I know denim isn't

typically used on Derby hats, but Katarina Salzburg wore this

really elegant one a few years ago.

Do you think these look too

hayseed?

No.

It's lovely.

Thanks.

Do you make those?

These are ginger horses I make for the Derby every year.

My mom's recipe.

Did you bake them with her?

No. She passed away.

Oh.

I'm so sorry.

Mm.

This is so good.

Thanks.

- Good morning, Odette. - Is it?

You're dropping crumbs on my floor.

I don't like sloppiness.

It leads to sloppy work.

If I hear murmurs of criticism

about the hats coming out of my studio,

I'll make sure no atelier south of the Mason-Dixon hires you.

Understand?

She is a beauty.

I can definitely see her wearing the Elms Wreath.

When she's on her game,

she's better than any colt I've ever ridden.

So you're still determined to put her in the Derby, huh?

Remember, Dad put a filly in the race years ago.

Well, she didn't win, did she?

No, but the one who felt her on his flank.

And it was amazing to watch.

Willa doesn't like Davidson's horse here.

Toreador?

He's not a bad horse.

Well, now that Davison's training him, you never know.

Well, you two definitely have different styles.

Yin and yang.

But they do complement each other.

Like oil and water.

No, sweetie.

He's your friend.

An old friend.

And friends matter.

Without them, we have nothing.

I'm going to go pick up my new hat.

Stella is really nice.

I gave her a tour of the trophy room

the other day for her research.

Oh, research.

It's nice of you.

Anything for you, Mother.

Mwah.

I was inspired by your winning horse Capri Breeze.

I wanted to capture the magic

of his name with shades of blue and glints of the ocean.

Well, the gemstones are well placed.

- Thank you. - But...

- It's not for me. - Oh.

I'm sorry.

Maybe I could try silk or taffeta instead.

Yes. Something more traditional.

Got it.

Well, ladies, I gotta dash.

You are not here to go rogue.

It's one thing to get compliments

at the Rose gala, but a different thing entirely

to win the Bradbury.

Now get cracking.

Yes, ma'am.

- Hey! - Hey!

I thought you might need something to eat.

Oh, you don't have to do that.

I mean,

thanks.

I could use a break.

Okay. I thought with the flowers it would be possible.

But your mom did not like the denim idea.

Here's the thing about Louisville high society.

There are rules that we all agree upon.

We say please and thank you whether we mean it or not.

You can put hot sauce on anything you want, but not

ketchup.

You can have bourbon whenever you want as long

as you don't get drunk or act drunk.

Well, I think y'all should hand out manuals.

True.

But once you

understand that there is a box that you need to stay inside of,

there's total freedom within that.

But what if I can't see the box?

I feel like I keep stepping outside of it on accident.

It can take some time to understand it.

But you'll figure it out.

Just trust yourself.

Yeah.

I'm just afraid if I can't make a party hat,

how am I going to make a winning hat for the actual Derby?

I'm sure you will do it.

Can I show you some of my recent ideas?

Sure.

Odette gave that a, "Hmm"

noise, but, yeah, there's another pass.

Odette can be tough to please.

Yes.

Wow.

They all look great to me.

Thanks.

And thank you

for all of your help.

Of course.

And if you want to stop by and visit Willa and I tomorrow,

we'd be amenable to it.

I'd like that.

So, would you like to eat?

Yes. I'm starving.

All right.

- Chicken? - Sounds great.

Oh, gosh, that smells so good.

It's delicious. It's my favorite. You'll love it.

Oh, this is lovely.

The flowers look like a cascading bouquet.

- May I? - Yes.

You'll want to put it on this way.

Oh my goodness.

This is going to go perfectly with your green and blue dress.

Yes, I suppose it will.

Thank you, Stella.

Whoa, whoa.

- So? - She liked it.

There you go.

Oh, you got something.

- Thank you. - She looks great.

She's doing a little better, but still.

You want my advice?

Of course. That's the deal, right?

She needs the box.

- Her stall? - Yeah.

It's like you said last night.

Things in life are easier if you have boundaries.

You're strict with her.

And then you let her act out.

She's testing you and finding out

that the rules are changeable.

Davidson was always the taskmaster.

And I always provided the fun.

I guess I'm having a hard time balancing both now.

Go with what feels comfortable, but stay consistent.

She needs to know what to expect.

That's funny how it's easier to give other people advice

than to take your own.

Yeah.

- See you later. - See ya.

This one was inspired by a hat

the Queen wore when she visited the Fairchild farm decades ago.

Mm.

Odette says it's her favorite one so far.

Such a simple sophistication.

The Queen sure had style.

Gosh, you wear it well.

You must have been wearing elegant hats

since you were a kid.

Goodness, no.

When I was a child, I didn't want anything

to do with fashion.

I find that hard to believe.

I loved horses.

I wanted to be riding them or be in a barn amongst them.

There was this one year where I would only wear jodhpurs.

Drove my parents crazy.

I'm trying to imagine that.

I wanted to be a horse woman,

a jockey, even.

So?

Why'd you give it up?

I don't know.

I guess I thought I had to.

Well, thank you, sweetie.

This is the last one before the big day.

I know.

I really hope you like your Derby hat.

You are going to do magnificent.

I can see a Bradbury trophy on your desk.

You've done beautifully, Stella.

Thank you so much.

Mom?

Oh. Hi, honey.

I was just remembering how I slept in this barn

so I could see the birth of her grandmother.

Oh, my.

She's gorgeous.

Oh, you're so gorgeous.

So is she

definitely running the Derby?

Yes, Mother.

I'm keeping her in the main race.

Good.

Let her aim for something high.

Night, Son.

Good night, Mom.

You're fantastic.

I'll give you a call.

- If that's all right. - Sounds good.

- Hi, Hannah. - Davidson.

All right, well, you two ladies

have a lovely day.

Hannah, I've worked here a week,

and you bring baked goods almost every day.

Even though no one eats them.

That is, no one but me.

Why is that?

Um, I guess I love to bake.

I find it relaxing.

I bet Odette and Rosiland would eat them

if you package them in something like a little box

to contain the crumbs and serve as a plate.

Um. Maybe.

Good morning, ladies.

- Morning. - Morning.

Two days until lift off.

Hannah, can you get me a cup of tea?

Oh, I got it.

Splash milk and one sugar.

No, you need to concentrate on Rosiland's Derby hat.

Since you approved my drawing, I'm off to the races.

Remember, the Bradbury judges

have eagle eyes, they notice every little detail.

You need to make sure that the glue around

- the feather isn't noticeable. - Of course.

Okay. Get to work.

Good afternoon, ladies.

- Is everything okay? - Yeah.

I just need to talk to Stella for a second.

Willa will not come out of her stall.

Okay.

I'll just grab my purse.

Seems she's one of the family now.

Wow.

My dad used to sing to anxious horses

to help them to relax.

When was the last time she had a play day?

What do you mean?

You know, a day where she didn't

have to exercise and could just be a filly.

Um...

Let me think.

That gives me the answer I need.

This horse needs to cut loose.

Wow.

So much more relaxed.

You know what?

I think you need a play day.

No, I have way too much to do.

Horses are sensitive to the moods of those closest to them.

I see your point.

So what do you want to do?

How could you not fall in love with horses growing up here?

Yeah. I rode with my dad every weekend.

You must miss him.

Yeah.

- Oh. - You all right?

Yeah. I got something in my eye.

Whoa!

May I?

It's right here.

Hi!

You know, I realized it had been forever since I've ridden.

And isn't it a perfect day?

Yeah, it really is.

Well, I'm going to keep going.

Have fun.

Let's go.

I should probably get back.

Would you be free for dinner tonight?

As in,

may I take you out to dinner tonight?

I'd like that.

So where is he taking you?

I don't know, he didn't tell me.

Annie. Do I have a hair sticking up?

Nope.

But is there something weird in my face?

No. You look great.

Yeah, but is it a real date,

or is it just two friends hanging out?

I'm going to go open the door now. Okay?

- Hey. Nice to see you, Annie. - Hey.

- Hey. - Hi.

Shall we?

Have fun kids!

There's no one here.

No, because I rented out the park for the night.

Hope you're not afraid of heights.

The Ferris wheel.

I used to love it, but I haven't ridden one in so long.

I hope you like it.

I do. But--

You told me I need to play more.

For Willa's sake and myself.

So.

- Our table. - Wow.

Could I offer you a drink, Madmoiselle ?

Absolutely.

A mint julep.

I've never had one.

Really? I feel honored.

Whoa, that is so strong.

I thought because it's called a mint julep it would be,

I don't know. Mintier?

Well, bourbon is an acquired taste.

So basically, if you deep fry it or add gravy.

- It's southern food? - I think you got it.

Sorry this is such an early night.

No. It's okay.

We both have full days tomorrow.

Well. Maybe...

After the Derby.

Oh, I am so sorry.

I didn't think you'd be back so soon.

Uh. Let me get that for you.

Okay. Thank you.

Good night.

Night.

Sorry.

- Hannah. - Hi, Christian.

I'm so glad I ran into you.

Could you do me a favor?

Could you give Stella a ticket to our Derby box?

Next time you're in studio?

I thought there wasn't enough space for more people.

Yeah, but my mother and I really want her there.

Of course.

It's just that she might already be going with Davidson.

Really?

He was at the studio the other day,

and he gave her his number, and she said she'd call him so.

But if you want me to give her that ticket.

I can do that.

Yes. Please do.

Sure thing.

Davidson, I'm so glad this worked out.

I thought I brought this hat

when I moved here, but I wasn't sure.

So I traded out the old flowers for these new festive feathers.

I think it's going to match your mother's dress perfectly.

It looks great.

My mom's gonna love it.

I'm really glad you asked me.

It makes me happy when an old hat can find a new home.

Let me box it up for you.

Yeah. How much do I owe you?

Not a thing.

- It's a gift. I insist. - No, I couldn't.

Thank you.

Hello?

Oh, wow. Um.

No, I can't.

Okay. No, no.

Thank you.

I'm sorry, but we have a crisis on our hands.

Did the taffeta rip?

Is Willa okay?

No. The florist's truck broke down.

Can you imagine our Derby box with no flowers?

I couldn't possibly.

Well, what are we going to do?

Christian is using his truck to haul the horse trailer.

Well, I'd be happy to help with my car.

Really?

You would do that?

Yeah. I'm more than happy to help.

Well, you are just a dream come true, Davidson.

Hey, could you give me a ride home on your way?

My friend dropped me off at work today.

- Of course. - Thanks.

Rosiland,

the glue is still drying on your hat,

but can I show you the finished product?

Of course.

The grass in Kentucky

is so green because of the limestone soil.

Same grass

that your champion horses eat all day long.

I wanted to capture that for you.

It is stunning.

I think we have a winner.

We just might.

Well, let's let the judges be the ones to stop and stare.

Ladies, we got to keep moving.

The Derby is tomorrow. Hannah.

Have you been able to coordinate

- delivering your baked goods? - Yes.

- They will be here to pick up. - Great.

- Shall we? - Yes.

It is. It's gorgeous.

Hi.

Sorry to bother you. I made dinner.

- You hungry? - Starving.

Give me just a second. I'll be right down.

That is gorgeous.

Is Rosiland wearing that to the Derby?

I don't really think it's her style.

Maybe I'll wear it.

It's really unique. I like it.

Don't be long.

I made your favorite pesto pasta.

You're the best.

- Hi. - Hey.

I was just thinking about you.

Wondering how you're feeling about the race tomorrow.

- It's the Lexington Derby. - Yeah.

I'm doing fine.

Thanks.

Great.

How's Willa?

She's good too.

Good to hear.

Well, I'd love to see her

before the race tomorrow, if possible.

Sure.

Just, stop by in the morning.

I'll be busy.

So you can just show yourself in getting to Lexington.

Oh, okay.

You've been a great friend to the family, Stella.

Thanks for all your hard work.

Yeah.

No problem.

- Take care. - Bye.

Look. I walked right into the end of last night's date,

and it is clear he has feelings for you.

Maybe he's just nervous about the race.

Something changed.

Something that

I can't easily change back.

I'm sorry.

Still going to visit Willa tomorrow?

Yeah.

I want to wish her luck.

Good morning, race fans.

Stick with us all day for full coverage of the Lexington Derby.

♪ Run your race, little filly ♪

♪ Make them look, chase your dream ♪

♪ Today's your day ♪

Oh. Hi.

Hey. That was lovely.

I thought she deserved a good send off.

And...

Music helps horses relax.

Yeah.

I guess I won't be seeing you later today.

But I'll be cheering for her.

Yeah, I appreciate that.

Thanks.

Oh, I should let you get ready.

- Yeah. - Okay.

Drive safe to Lexington.

I have to say, I was a little worried about the hats.

Green ribbon?

But I held it up on the dress

last night, and it's going to look fantastic.

That's great.

You okay?

Yeah. I just...

I must have eaten something.

You color is fine.

It'll pass.

My goodness.

Those yard men cannot cut back those hydrangeas again. Oh!

Keep going.

Hi. You here to pick up Rosiland's hat?

Yes.

And Christian wanted me to give you this.

Ticket to the Derby?

Infield.

There must be no room left in the Fairchild box.

Sure.

Okay, let me box this up for you, please.

- Please. - Oh no!

Don't touch it!

Don't touch it.

Let me blot it!

Let me blot it.

Oh! Oh my.

Okay.

I ruined it.

Maybe we could dye it.

No, it--

Won't cover the stains or dry time.

What do I tell Rosiland?

Here.

I made this hat after Rosiland

told me about how much she loved horses growing up.

I was going to wear it, but

it was inspired by her.

Do you think she'll like it?

She doesn't like surprises.

I'm sorry.

I think it's the best I can do in time for the race.

Tell her it has my blessing.

Okay.

Now what hat are you going to wear?

I'm not going.

You have to go to the Derby and the hat contest.

She's not going to win.

We don't know that.

It's not about winning, my dear.

It's about running the race.

Yeah.

When I was a kid,

I had this picture of a woman at the Derby with this big,

beautiful purple hat

with Birds of Paradise on it.

Cut it out of this horse magazine

and taped it up on my wall.

I dreamed of making hats like that

and seeing people wear them to the Derby.

I really wanted us

to win the Bradbury.

I'm really sorry I let you down, Odette.

Godspeed, girl.

Show them what you got.

You expecting a package?

Hi. Is Stella here?

Yeah. Yeah. Come in.

I have to go.

Okay. Love you.

- Hi. - I brought you this to wear.

I think the color will suit you.

And put that on too, now that I think of it.

As for the hat,

I have some embellishments you can use.

Odette!

- It was you? - Yes.

It was my first Derby.

I had just moved from Savannah and opened my studio.

I can't believe it.

I know it was hard on you, but it was only because

I knew you could be great.

You just needed to be pushed.

I want to continue working with you, Stella.

I'd like you to stay at the studio.

That is, if you'd like.

I'd love to.

Thank you.

Well, you need to get to work.

You have to be at the Derby in a few hours.

Give me the dress. I'll steam it.

Oh. Very nice.

Sorry I'm late.

We should really get down to the contest.

Why are you wearing that?

It's from a couple of years ago.

Yes, I made it.

And it's utterly unspectacular.

We felt that Stella's was a little bit wrong for me.

She made it because she was inspired

by the stories you told her.

Being a little girl who loved horses.

She did? What?

Oh. Well,

I guess I could give it another try.

You know, I used to be bigger and bolder.

I let myself spread my wings.

There's no reason you can't now.

Let's get down to that contest.

Every year, we hold the Bradbury hat competition.

To honor the creativity and ingenuity

of our Kentucky milliners.

To be honest,

it's my favorite competition on Derby Day.

It looks like we have some real contenders this year.

As you know, at the Bradbury, we believe the story behind

the hat is as important as the design itself.

So we'll begin.

My hat is

inspired by my mother, her love of gardening and flowers

of all variety in Kentucky.

My hat is inspired by my trip to Mexico.

My hat is dedicated--

My hat was my greatest--

My hat was inspired by--

This hat, it was designed

to honor my childhood love of horses.

The milliner didn't expect me to wear it.

And I didn't think I would either because I hadn't fully

appreciated the significance of the butterfly.

But I have spent so much time in my life flitting around.

And now I understand the importance

of giving myself permission to become

who I truly was meant to be.

Thank you.

It's never an easy decision choosing a winning hat.

They all show such artistry and integrity.

And the stories are so personal.

I think we can all agree that these women look stunning

in their hats.

This year,

we'd like to recognize a hat that took us by surprise

not only for its

striking design, but also because of its wearer.

It's a stark departure from what she's shown us in the past,

and a bold move.

This year's Bradbury Award for best Derby

hat goes to Rosiland Fairchild.

Thank you. Oh.

Bravo, Rosiland.

I loved every hat you've worn this week.

I love of what you just said.

Thank you, Mimi.

I really appreciate that.

Well, I'll let you go.

Congratulations.

Thank you.

Oh. Congratulations!

That's great.

You and Stella are taking this back to the studio.

You two have earned it.

Where is Stella?

Ah, Miss Hannah,

something was delivered for you.

Hannah.

- Are those your baked goods? - Yes.

They are pastry boxes to hold the crumbs.

What a great idea. May I?

Mm.

These are delicious.

You should open up your own bakery.

No. I don't think I could.

You can do anything and I will fund it,

- of course. - Hey, hey.

Hello, honey.

- How you doing? - Feeling all right.

Willa was in a good mood this morning.

She's not here yet.

She must be in Davidson's box then.

Why would she be there?

Because I guess they're...

Together.

No, I was wrong.

He gave her his number

so he can buy his mother a hat for the Derby.

And I gave her a ticket to the infield and not the box.

I know I shouldn't have it,

but it's just Stella this and Stella that, and I,

I feel like I was her gopher.

Oh, Hannah. I'm sorry, I just,

I thought you would find being around the fashion activity

at Odette Studio more exciting than just being my assistant.

And look what came from these ingenious little pastry boxes.

- We should go find Stella. - Yeah.

Hey, I just wanted to wish you and Willa best of luck.

Thank you. You and Toreador as well.

I sure do miss having you in our box, Davidson.

Well, I miss working with your son.

I really do.

I'd like to come back, if you'd have me.

Yeah, well, we balance each other out, so

let's talk about it.

But I do want you all

to be prepared to see toward our wearing

that wreath of roses around his neck.

You know, Willa will not let that happen.

- Well, we'll see. - Uh-huh.

Speaking of which, we need to find Stella

before the race starts.

Yes. Come on, let's go.

I'm gonna look over here.

I'm so glad I found you.

You are?

I was a fool.

I thought you were in love with Davidson.

Why would you think that?

I'll explain it all later.

First,

come with me to the family box for the race.

Stella!

- You won. - What?

The Bradbury best hat.

I can't believe it.

Thank you for the boxes.

And for eating my scones and for everything.

I'm sorry I wasn't as kind.

It's okay.

- Please come to the box. - Yes.

All right. I'll meet you guys there.

Congratulations.

Thank you.

Oh. I'm so excited.

Good luck, buddy. This is what all the hard work's for.

Thank you, sir.

And they're off!

And the picture changes right from the get go.

Excalibur is going to go up with the advantage.

Along with Vibrant Dancer,

a filly, Wildflower Wish is off at mid pack

and trying to recover.

She's going to win.

Excalibur and Vibrant Dancer

are running the first turn,

with Showstopper joining them up from the outside.

Excalibur leads then Showstopper

with Vibrant Dancer

tucked in third to the inside, just behind is Strawberry

- Field and Magic Dawn. - Come on boy.

Toreador takes over with Wildflower

Wish behind for fourth and fifth.

Magic Dawn, sixth.

Bob's Your Uncle is trailing still

after a slow beginning. About 10 or 11 furloughs off the lead.

Excalibur and Showstopper

holding their own as they take the turn.

A demanding pace here at the Derby at 46 and 3/5 seconds.

Showstopper falls back through between runners.

Toreador about two and a half off the top and Wildflower

Wish is inching ahead to take over the fourth spot.

Their off the turn and the filly is getting ahead, moving up

the outside with speed, applying pressure to Excalibur.

- She's running hard. - Come on, Willa!

Oh come on, come on.

Toreador and Vibrant Dancer and behind her

with a furlough to go.

Go Willa!

We've got two lanes to make up. Wildflower Wish--

- Come on! - Go, go, go!

You want it, honey?

You want it, honey! Go get it!

Excalibur and Showstopper are running hard.

They don't think the filly can catch up, but she wants it.

I can't believe it.

Look at her go.

- Look at her go. - Look at her go.

Look at her go.

Here's the wire. It's Wildflower Wish!

for the champion in this year's Lexington Derby!

The filly won!

Yeah!

Yeah!

- You won! - We both did.
