Welcome to Passau, the city of three rivers.

Always young at heart, but one of the oldest cities in Bavaria.

We hope you enjoy your cruise on the Emerald Sun.

I shouldn't have agreed to do this show.

Woman 2: Stanley wouldn't have asked

if he didn't think he could do it.

He's a good friend.

Woman 2: Who happens to be

one of the biggest Broadway producers.

- You're on vacation, remember?

Woman 2: I'll just be a minute.

Patricia, hi!

The contract has been sent out,

but I'm sensing hesitation on their part.

Why?

They're an old-school tour company, Sarah.

Your pitch is too modern for their taste,

with the apps and all these small wellness groups.

They're about money, not meditation.

I think it's the future,

but I can definitely tone down the original pitch.

Fine,

but this one's on you if it doesn't work out.

Think about the promotion you're up for.

Yes, of course. Understood.

Does that woman ever give you a break?

Can't you just put that on airplane mode?

Mom, then, I'll be out of office, to out of work,

and 3-2-1 fired.

Welcome aboard. I'm Teddy, your cruise director.

Hello.

Feel free to ask any questions about the cruise.

Oh, thank you, Teddy.

I'm Sarah Matthews. This is my mother, Julia.

- Hello. - We're with the theater group.

Ah, our passengers are so excited.

It's actually sold out.

Are our rooms ready yet?

Your cabins are ready.

I have you in 205.

And there's a walking tour of Passau today at three,

if you would like to join.

Oh, I'm sure Sarah would love to join the walking tour.

I would actually, thank you,

after I tour the business center.

Julia, would you like me to put you down, too?

No, no, I think I'd like to relax a little while.

There's tea and coffee in the Admiral Lounge.

It's quite relaxing in there.

All that matters is that my daughter relaxes this trip.

Mm-hmm.

Business center? That way?

Yeah.

Hey, are you sure?

We have like an hour before the tour starts.

I'm just fine with my book today, all right?

Yeah, no, I know, but there's just so much

to see and do, you know?

Tomorrow.

Okay. You still want to do dinner?

Early seating?

Yeah, we can do early seating.

Hi. I'm Betty Stephenson.

Julia Matthews. Nice to meet you.

Julia Matthews, as in Broadway.

Yes. I'm surprised you know who I am.

Oh, I've seen every Broadway musical

from The Palace, to the New Amsterdam Theatre,

and everything in-between.

Please tell me that you're here for the Broadway revival.

Yes, yes, I am.

Wonderful.

And what brings you to the Danube?

Oh, I've been on this floating palace for over a year.

They can't get rid of me.

- The usual.

"Going to do the final review now. Period.

"Will send over in 20 minutes."

- "Minutes."

"Minnows"? How'd you come up with "Minnows"?

"Minutes". "Minutes".

Okay. And send.

Seriously?

Oh, come on.

Come on.

I'm sorry.

Oh. Oh. I'm-- I'm so sorry.

No, I love the dance moves.

Or planned fishing expedition. Couldn't think about which one.

The internet is really spotty here.

Well, it's a good thing that cell phones are banned.

Seriously?

No, but they should be. It's just, it's vacation.

You know? No phone zone.

Deadlines are unavoidable.

I take it you don't know where the business center is?

I'm afraid I don't. Probably won't find out.

I'm Jack.

Wilson.

- Sarah Matthews. - Nice to meet you.

You, too.

We can talk typos later.

Maybe.

That made no sense. What are you doing? Ugh!

Having been destroyed by the Great Fire of 1662,

Passau was rebuilt by Italian architects

who infused the city with a baroque Italian flavor.

So, feel free to say, "Ciao" in Passau.

- Ugh.

So, you're-- you're on this tour,

but you're not really, like, on tour.

Oh, the vacation police are back.

You still trying?

No. You know what? I am almost ready to give up.

Whoa, whoa.

What do you do again?

Um...

I, uh-- I work for a marketing firm.

We come up with

high-end concepts for travel companies, tour groups.

Like the cruise?

Uh, yeah. Yeah, like the cruise.

But I'm actually here on holiday with my mom,

who's working really hard to get me to try and stop working.

And if I could just get this pitch sent,

I could try and enjoy my first vacation in two years.

Well, since we're no longer on the tour, uh...

let's go to a coffee shop.

They have Wi-Fi there.

Caffeine and a connection?

You're a genius.

I have moments.

Where did everyone go?

I don't know.

All sent.

Congratulations.

- Thanks. - Cheers.

Oh, cheers. Thank you.

So, how'd you and your mom pick the Danube?

Oh, my mom is in a Broadway revival show in Budapest.

- Really? She's a singer? - Yes.

Would I have heard of her?

Um, probably not.

She was always just in the chorus on Broadway.

Okay. Where is she now?

Mm. Taking a nap.

But I think it's more nerves, though.

She hasn't performed in years.

She actually tried to back out of the trip last minute.

My Dad did, too.

He told me all he needed was his golf clubs

and for me to stop pushing him to get out of more.

Ah... Well, it looks like we are in the...

same boat.

- Yeah.

So, um, why the Danube for you?

He's a European history buff,

and it's his birthday and I wanted to surprise him.

He's been struggling a little bit.

Mom passed a couple of years ago.

Oh, I'm sorry to hear that.

Where are you from?

We live in Fairfield, Connecticut, so...

Oh, I live in Stamford

and my mom lives in Westport.

- No. - Yeah.

- Serious? - Yeah.

Yeah, we moved out of the city a little while ago.

My Dad also passed away and, um, we needed a fresh start.

Sorry to hear that.

Thank you.

It's been a really rough go for my mom.

She hasn't quite been herself.

You know, he's a bit of a music lover,

and since we live in the same area and we're all here,

do you want to maybe...?

- Oh, yeah. - Yeah?

We should definitely introduce them.

Yeah, maybe it'll get her mind off the show

and get her to stop focusing on my work.

We could use a friendly buffer.

Like a... distraction?

Devious date.

Oh. Ideas?

Any chance you're having dinner on the ship tonight?

- We are. - First seating?

Oh, my mom thinks the real party starts before sunset.

Yes, and he's angry

that we don't get the early bird special,

even though it's all inclusive.

You ready?

Yeah.

- Mom... - Mm-hmm?

We're going to a restaurant, not snowshoeing.

You know I get cold in air-conditioned restaurants,

and this is my favorite outfit.

This is vintage Halston. I love it.

- No. - Oh.

And since when do you care so much about what I'm wearing?

You just never know when you might meet someone.

Meet someone? Who am I going to meet?

I just mean that, you know,

you meet all sorts of people on cruises.

There. You look beautiful, Mom.

Yes, with the button on.

Even with the button on.

Good.

Great. Let's go.

Hey. Oh, looking good.

Are you sure I need to wear a tie?

You're looking real good. I think you look great in a tie.

Plus, you never know when you might meet someone.

Meet someone? What is this? The Love Boat?

- Oh, it is now.

Thank you very much. A couple minutes.

Yeah.

- Hi, Sarah. - Hey, Jack.

You look great.

Oh, thank you. So, do you, Jack.

- Thank you. - You two know each other?

We met on the tour today.

Andre, Sarah. Sarah...

It's nice to meet you. And this is my mother, Julia.

Pleasure.

Hi.

Apparently, we all live in Fairfield County.

Small world.

Well, very nice to meet you both.

You, too.

We don't want to keep you. We should get to our table, huh?

Sure.

This way everyone, please.

- We're two for dinner. - It's just us.

We only have tables of four left.

Those are reserved, I'm afraid.

I hope you don't mind dining together.

- Not at all. - No, that's-- that's great.

To new friends.

- Cheers. -Cheers.

That is good.

So, Andre, what is it that you do?

I'm a retired math teacher.

Oh, math - my worst subject. I'm more right brain.

Oh, but Andre likes music too, right?

Mm-hmm.

I ran the marching band program.

Oh, how fun!

His band played in the Thanksgiving Day Parade

every year.

Oh, I must have seen you then.

And do you get too many Broadway musicals being so close to town?

I'm more into plays.

Uh, Julia sang on Broadway.

She's actually performing on this trip.

I'm sorry. I didn't mean anything--

It's okay. Not everyone's into show tunes.

Sarah, however, is an accomplished pianist.

Is that right?

Well, I-I don't play much anymore.

She's very, very good.

Um, what do you do, Jack?

I run a local paper in Easton.

The one that did the exposé on the chemical plant?

That was my piece. I did the investigation.

That was an amazing piece.

- Thank you. -Yeah.

I actually did marketing

for The Villager after I graduated from Stern.

Really?

I love how small newspapers bring people together.

They can be real advocates for change.

I agree.

They are the backbone of the community.

Hmm. Well said.

So, how's everyone's wine? Do you like it?

- Oh, it's really good. -Yes.

I'd actually like a whiskey. Excuse me.

-Oh! - Oh! Oh, my goodness! Mom!

- No, no, no. - Are you okay?

- I'm good, I'm good. I'm good. -I'm so sorry.

Are you sure? Oh, my gosh. It's all over your jacket.

You know what? I think I am going to go get the stain out.

I'm so sorry.

It's okay, it's okay. I'm good.

I'm going to go back, though, and get the stain out. Okay?

Okay, well, I'll come with you.

No, no, no, I'll order room service.

You stay, you stay.

- I'm so sorry. - You stay, you stay. Have fun.

It's okay. I'll be right back.

I'll be right back. Mom, just wait.

That was messy.

That's what dry cleaners are for.

I'm not talking about the coat.

So, first date,

first dinner.

Dinner? You mean disaster.

I guess when you haven't gone out with anyone

in a really long time, you just get...

Takes a little time to warm up.

Yeah.

We can do this.

I think so.

Let the romance reboot.

May I join you?

You look like you could use some company.

Bit of a rough night.

Oh, no. What happened?

I spilled wine on someone.

Please, that's nothing.

My first night sitting at the captain's table, he was late,

and when he came to greet us, I asked him for the menu.

- It was the uniform.

I had no idea.

That is bad.

It's so embarrassing, right?

You're funny.

And you're smiling. Mission accomplished.

Thank you for that.

I'm Andre.

Betty.

Nice to meet you, Betty.

Vienna, the city of music.

Get ready to waltz through

centuries of culture and elegance

along the Danube's graceful shores.

As the office turns...

More work drama?

The tour company backed out.

Oh. I'm sorry.

My boss isn't. She's just mad.

A lot was riding on that one.

Oh, and please don't tell my mom I snuck out.

She thinks I'm in the adjoining massage room right now.

Mum's the word.

I know. I sound silly worrying about what she thinks.

Not at all.

Name someone who doesn't care what their parents think.

You too?

Yeah, of course.

I mean, Dad and I, we don't...

...see each other as much anymore, but, I don't know,

I guess a cruise was going to be interesting. May I?

Oh, thank you.

Yes, um,

a river cruise is an interesting choice.

So, more urgent topic - how's the coat?

Um, perfect excuse to go shopping?

- That bad? - Yes.

We have gone from vacation police to fashion police.

Well, for what it's worth, he said he had a great time.

Really?

After dinner, at the bar.

Well, better than my mom.

She said that she had fun scrubbing her dress

because she finds cleaning to be cathartic.

Oh.

What are we going to do with those two?

Well, I think we wait until you're done working,

and then we come up with a plan.

Hmm.

Oh, maybe a day trip to Salzburg.

Mom and I love The Sound of Music.

Now, that's up my alley,

especially around Christmas time, but his, not so much.

What would you say to a Linzer torte baking class?

Delicious, but she's allergic to nuts.

Oh.

She does love carriage rides though.

He would be down for that.

How does she feel about schnitzel?

Loves it.

Okay, I got it:

old town carriage ride after dinner.

Perfect.

Yeah, I can spend the day with my mom, get her in the mood.

Great.

Oh, by the way, if you're shopping,

his favorite color is blue, scent lavender.

Okay. Copy. Oh, oh, oh, and Mom, she loves a man in a dapper hat.

You know, just like Frank Sinatra.

Mm.

Yeah, I'm kind of loving this. Are we parent-trapping?

'Cause there was a cruise--

You know, there was a cruise in that movie, too.

Yeah. Yeah, this might work.

Fingers crossed.

Oh...

Didn't your massage fix that neck?

It's all that typing you do.

I didn't see you after in the relaxation room.

Oh, no. I, uh, went to get a coffee.

Can you please put that down?

Ye-- yes. Uh...

- So, um, Mom. - Mmm-hmm.

I was thinking, for later, how about a carriage ride

and dinner with Andre and Jack?

Again? We barely know them.

Oh, well, Andre had fun last night.

- He did? - Mm-hmm.

Yeah. Um, I think he's into you.

- Really? - Mm-hmm.

Oh, Mom, this whole outfit would look amazing on you.

Oh, you could wear it to dinner.

We're not going back to the ship.

So, wear it out of the store.

It's nice, but it's for someone younger,

and-- and blue's not my color.

- Oh, excuse me. - Hello. I'm Stefan.

Hi, Stefan. We are interested in this whole outfit.

Excellent choice.

Oh, no, it's not for me. It's for my mother.

I told you, it's for someone younger.

You are never too old for style.

Right. See? Hmm?

- Come on, just go try it on. - What?

It'll be two seconds. Ooh. Yes.

Thank you.

So, how do you feel about this being your first time in Europe?

Like, I can't believe it's taken me this long to get to Europe.

Oh, Sarah and Julia, they want to do something tonight.

They were thinking a carriage ride.

- Again? - I think she's into you.

Really? Even after the coat?

I'm as shocked as you are.

I wanted you to see some stuff in here.

Okay.

Hello.

Willkommen to Herrenausstatters. Womit kann sie helfen

- Uh... - Sorry, sorry.

We're American.

We have pork pie hats, top hats, bucket hats.

Father and son?

Yes, and we are actually looking for a couple of fedoras.

- We are? - Mmm-hmm.

Hmm.

He met a woman.

Oh, say no more.

The diamond crown fedoras, makes the ladies go wild.

Perfect.

You look fantastic.

Really?

My vinyl records are jealous.

Hmm. Guess I'll take it, then.

Right this way.

What are you doing?

Don't you just love lavender?

Look at us, two guys on the town.

You look like Sinatra in that hat.

Oh, thank you very much. I feel like it.

I love it.

Hey, ladies.

Hey.

You look beautiful, Julia.

- I love the blue. - Thank you.

Is that lavender you're wearing?

Yes, it is.

And that hat looks very dapper.

So, um... shall we?

Hmm?

Oh, honey,

I'd just really like to stay put for a while, I think.

No, but we all wanted to go together.

Do you know what I'd love?

There's a concert up at the church we just passed.

That sounds very interesting.

Would you mind if I tag along?

No, not at all.

Okay, but, um, what about dinner?

We have your location. We'll meet you there.

- Have fun. - Okay.

Okay, yeah. All right.

Not exactly as planned.

But with an unexpected twist.

- Ready? - Yeah.

See you got yourself a little present.

I did.

If that's the look you're going for, yeah, it could work.

No, but wait, didn't we pass that twice already?

We did.

I asked our driver to take the long route,

give them little more time.

Oh. I like the way you think.

I'm also really digging this new look.

- You like this? - Yeah.

So, how'd it go with your dad today?

Surprisingly... really well.

- That's great. - Yeah.

Why is it a surprise?

Are you not normally close?

I was closer with my mom.

He was always wrapped up in the whole band life thing, so...

Things better now that he's retired?

When I lived at home, we would just go through the motions.

When I moved out, things got a little more distant.

And after she passed, I rarely saw him.

But you're making the effort now, like with this cruise?

Yes. Yes.

Things will get better.

- Well, I hope so. - Mm-hmm.

You and your mom seem very close.

- That's great. - Yeah, we are.

But it takes effort. And, um...

she thinks that I should be working less

and spending more time with her.

Speaking of which, I want to ask you a question -

why do you work so much?

It's all part of my plan.

- Oh, your plan? - Yeah.

Yeah, I have to stay later than everyone else

and I have to come in on the weekends,

if I want to get ahead.

Okay, fair.

Getting ahead, does that get in the way you enjoying yourself?

I don't think so.

- No? - No.

What do you like to do for fun?

I go for a run every morning.

- You run? - For fun.

I do. I like it.

I think you need to be a little more adventurous, Sarah.

I get the feeling we've been stood up.

Or maybe set up.

You get the sense they could be up to something?

I don't think so.

Hey.

They're smiling.

Yeah, they are.

Sarah knows I'm not ready to date yet.

And I wouldn't know a set-up

if it came with a neon sign and an orchestra.

She laughed.

Hey, I'm sorry about that comment

I made about Broadway last night.

Oh, Andre, it's fine.

You must be very talented.

Well, that's very kind.

Are you excited about your show?

I think nervous would be a better word for it.

I used to tell my band before big parades,

"Let the music flow from your hearts

and we'll touch the souls of everyone who hears us."

That's lovely.

And then, just, uh, picture them in their underwear.

Hey, by the way, I called the restaurant,

gave them my credit card and ordered dessert for them.

Compliments of that gentleman, of course.

- Nicely planned. - Thank you.

We didn't order that.

Compliments of the gentleman.

Here we go

Oh.

Oh, no.

What?

Apple strudel.

Yeah, it's fantastic. Restaurant's famous for it.

No. My mom used to make it for my dad every Sunday.

Oh.

I can tell she's upset.

Are you okay?

It's just um...

...strudel was something that I shared with my husband.

I'm sorry.

This just triggered that memory.

I know how you feel.

Like today, when I smelled the lavender?

Mm-hmm.

It instantly made me think of my wife.

It's bound to happen, right?

Yes, it is.

It's just how you deal with it.

What do you think? Should we go and save them?

Nah.

Good morning.

Sarah. How's the trip going?

Well... work is falling apart.

And Jack and I have been trying to set up our parents,

but every time we think they're connecting,

there is an epic fail.

Have you tried something extra romantic?

- Twice. - Huh.

How about something relaxing?

There's a trip leaving in a few hours to a thermal spa.

Oh, I'm not sure if that's my mom's thing.

Well, it could get her out of her comfort zone.

Maybe.

And you and Jack?

- Jack? - How are you getting along?

He's very nice.

Oh. Um...

good. Yeah.

Well, um, I think I'm gonna go for my run.

There's some excellent trails in Ringstrasse.

Lots of iconic landmarks to take in.

Oh, that sounds great.

Thank you.

And, uh, Teddy,

is it possible to have a gift sent to another cabin?

Of course. We can arrange that.

Perfect. I'll be in touch.

This is The Love Boat.

Jack!

- Hey! - Hey!

What's going on?

I, uh...

You don't get this view back in Connecticut, huh?

No, you don't.

So, last night wasn't perfect, huh?

Oh... You mean it was a Picasso of imperfection.

- They did smile, though. - True.

- A little bit. - True.

Oh, I wanted to tell you, I, uh,

had some flowers sent up to your mom's room.

I kind of felt bad, so...

I had whiskey sent to your room.

I thought your dad could use a nice gesture after last night.

Does that mean we're doing this again?

Well, I haven't seen Mom out this much in years.

Yeah, that's true. That's true. All right, I vote yes.

Okay. Teddy said there's a day trip to a thermal spa.

I thought we could all go.

That's like those baths, right?

Yeah. I thought it might be relaxing.

His idea of relaxing is floating down a river with a koozie.

Okay, wait. Let me ask my mom.

Oh, she's in.

She's even gonna buy a bathing suit.

I'll just surprise him.

Oh, yeah, because, um, that worked out so well last night.

Exactly.

- Phew. - Done with your run or what?

No, I could go a little more.

I must say, you do not give up.

I know, I'm a bit annoying that way. It's like they--

- Oh, it's my boss.

Um, I'll meet you in an hour?

- Yeah, yeah. - Okay.

Uh, hi, Patricia.

Sarah, I need you to get me a new account.

I know, and I'm sorry.

It's just that I've been here with my mom

and it's been a lot to juggle.

Juggle this - I don't care if you have to work 24-7,

I need something new.

Do you think they're going to show up?

I don't know.

How's your boss?

Ugh. Yeah.

She expects everyone to be superhuman, like her.

So, what do you do now?

I don't know.

All I know is that I haven't worked all these years

to strive for mediocrity.

And what's that mean to you?

Not living up to your full potential.

Well, it's easy for you to ask that, you are the boss.

Well, yeah, but...

...I didn't take over the paper to become the boss.

I took over to help shape people's lives.

Help these writers become writers

for the Times or the Journal.

I wanted to be different than all the bosses before me.

Wow. You sound nothing like mine.

Don't get me wrong, I expect excellence from my staff.

That said, I also run a pretty laid-back ship.

You can have it all, Sarah.

You can't be serious.

Uh-uh.

This is the quintessential European experience.

Sorry, I can't.

No bathing suit.

Oh, good thing I already brought one for you.

You want me to wear pineapples.

Pink pineapples.

Pink pineapples...

I'll caddy for you for a month.

You're on.

Let's go get 'em.

European caddy.

Mom, are you ready?

Coming.

I thought you were buying a bathing suit.

Did you see the suits they were selling?

- They were like macramé. - Oh, my goodness.

No, I'm fine like this.

Hey!

I could've used a two for one deal with that rope.

Instead, I got stuck with pink pineapples.

Thank you very much, son.

Are they pineapples or palm trees?

Are they palm trees?

-Are they pineapples? - I think they're pineapples.

You guys getting in?

- Yeah. - No.

-Aww... - Aww, come on.

Ooh.

Nice.

You know what that is?

This is so soothing, that's what it is.

It's the minerals.

Hey!

-Right - Oh, my gosh. Okay.

Oh, you think you're--

- Uh-oh. -Aggressive.

Ah!

Hi.

You guys, we're gonna take a look around.

Yeah, you two kids have fun.

All right. You too.

Hmm.

You do realize they are trying to set us up, right?

Yeah.

I didn't think Sarah would do that to me,

but now, I'm not so sure.

Those flowers that came this morning,

they didn't come from you, did they?

- Nope. - Mm-hmm.

- The whiskey? - Uh-uh.

You're lovely Andre,

but I'm just not ready yet.

I think you understand.

I've been enjoying getting to know you.

You're a pretty special woman.

Thank you.

You know what's funny?

Mm-hmm.

They're the ones having a moment.

You noticed that too, huh?

I just don't think they realize it.

Maybe we could help them.

- Like, reverse parent-trap? - Why not?

Why not?

I don't think they know what they're in for.

I'm playing golf with him when we get back.

I haven't done that in, like, a year.

- That's amazing. - Yeah.

Well, I'm excited to see her show.

Me, too.

So, really, she was a Broadway singer?

- Yes, she was in the chorus. - Wow.

But she should have been the lead.

Her voice is... incredible.

Why wasn't she, you think?

When I came along, she couldn't do it all.

- Hmm. - It's sad.

Imagine having the ability to make it big

and not being able to realize that dream.

Well, maybe making it big

means different things for different people, you know?

You ever asked her about it?

No. Not directly.

Are you always this thoughtful with everyone?

No. Just people I really care about.

Are you and your dad going on the Shönbrunn Palace tour?

- We are. - Oh, us, too.

Before we go, should we take another dip?

Why not? They won't miss us.

-No. - No.

Wow.

This place is stunning.

Should we go over to that piano?

Yeah. Yeah, I'd love to.

Wow.

Need their alone time already.

Very cute.

You know, after his very first concert here as a kid,

at only six years old,

Mozart jumped into the lap of the Empress

and started hugging and kissing her.

Wow.

He was a star after that.

Imagine life changing in an instant.

That moment that you've made it.

When's that for you?

Hmm...

CEO.

No. President.

- Okay. - Either one.

So, kind of like your boss? I mean, you said she's what?

- Superhuman? -Mm-hmm.

Does she talk about, like, her kids and her family and stuff?

- No. But... -No.

...I don't really know her that well.

Oh. Okay.

Actually, no one does.

Do you want to get a drink?

Red or white?

Bubbles.

Oh, there we go.

I'll have one of these. Thank you.

Andre.

Betty.

Want some company?

Please.

So, what are you doing sitting here all alone?

I walked a friend to the shuttle.

She wanted to get back to the ship.

But the day is not over.

I figured I'd take it all in for a little while longer.

It is a beautiful place, isn't it?

So, who's your friend?

Long story,

but my son and her daughter are trying to set me up with her.

She's here for a Broadway show.

Julia?

You know her.

I am such a fan.

She's incredibly talented.

She's a lovely woman.

So, are you interested?

Mm...

I don't know what I want anymore.

My wife died.

I could have been a better husband.

There's a lot.

You know the wonderful thing about our age?

We have nothing but time on our hands -

time to fix our mistakes, time for second chances.

It's beautiful.

It's wonderful.

Did you ever perform?

Piano?

Recitals as a kid.

I guess my mom gave me the music gene.

I used to find playing the piano so relaxing.

You ever think you'd want to get back into it?

Maybe I will.

Yeah.

I wonder where my mom is.

Hmm. Yeah. Well, I haven't seen my dad in a while.

Well, wherever they are, I'm sure they're together.

I'm sure they are.

Thank you for walking me back.

Oh, you're welcome. I had a blast.

Me, too.

It's, uh, Dad's birthday tomorrow,

and I booked him that private tour at the National Library,

and I was wondering if maybe you and your mom wanted to go.

Oh. Are you sure you want us tagging along?

Are you kidding me? Your mom's my secret weapon.

This cruise is way better than expected

and that's because of you. So, thank you.

I could say the same to you.

Also, I'm gonna go for a run tomorrow morning.

Want to join me?

Since we'll both be there.

Yeah, I would.

- Great. - Yeah.

Well, uh, yeah, I should go check on my mom,

make sure she's okay.

Yeah.

Good night, Sarah.

Good night, Jack.

Oh, hi, Sarah.

- Oh, morning, Teddy. - You going for a run?

Yeah. I'm just waiting for Jack.

Ah. Actually, I wanted to talk to Jack this morning,

to ask if you'd like to come to the Captain's table

for dinner tonight

to celebrate his dad's birthday.

Oh, we would love to. Thank you.

How's it going?

His Dad and my mom

are finally getting along great.

Actually, I meant with you... and Jack.

Oh. Yeah. He's really nice.

See ya.

It never gets old here.

And the air feels amazing.

The company, too.

You know, I was reading about the library on the ship.

Yeah.

I think I found something

special for you to do for your dad.

I'm all ears.

Wanna go again?

Race you.

This is a 15,000 volume collection

of Prince Eugene of Savoy bound in Moroccan leather.

Who was Prince Eugene?

He was one of the most successful military commanders

of his time.

He was also very short.

Under five feet.

So, he was banned from the French military.

Well, how did he overcome that?

He fled the country disguised as a woman,

and convinced the Emperor in Vienna

to let him join the military.

Wow. You know your European history.

Uh-huh.

You wanna tell me some more?

I see some first editions over there.

Okay, let's go.

Would you look at those two.

Yeah, from awkward to effortless.

He's having an absolute blast.

Thank you very much for this.

Of course.

Hello. I'm Johanna,

and welcome to the music room of our library.

We have thousands of pages of sheet music from composers

like Beethoven, Mozart.

Choir books from the 15th century.

And, of course, our opera libretto collection.

Amazing.

And I understand we have a birthday?

Uh, yes.

Please take a seat.

Sorry.

This is a book with sheet music from the Guggenmusik,

which is one of the oldest marching bands in the world

and from the Alemanic Region of Austria.

Thanks to your son, your name will be

forever displayed on the Book.

Your generous contribution will help us preserve it.

No one's ever done anything like this for me before.

Glad you like it.

I love it.

It was Sarah's idea. I just arranged it.

Thank you, both of you.

How about a photo?

Oh, this one's all about the father and son.

- Okay.

I love you, son.

You, too.

Good evening, everyone.

Thank you for joining my table tonight.

Thank you for inviting us.

You're welcome. I hear there's a birthday on the ship tonight.

Andre?

Too much fuss, but thank you.

Please raise your glasses to Andre.

Happy birthday.

Happy birthday.

Happy birthday, Andre.

So, how is everyone enjoying the cruise?

Mm, best one yet.

You say that every time.

Everyone's very excited about the show in Budapest.

It's going to be a wonderful evening.

Julia is fantastic.

Your first show was Woman of the Year

and you played Helga the German Housekeeper.

Wow. I can't believe you remember that.

And how I pulled that one off I'll never know.

Now, the main character, Tess,

valued her marriage over her career,

and yet at the end seemed to have somehow had it all.

Did you ever play the lead?

No, no. Only the chorus.

Oh, but she should have been the lead.

Oh, but I can tell you the soloist is fantastic.

Oh, I would love to hear you sing, Julia.

You know, there's a piano in the lounge.

Do you think we might be able to

maybe get a little sneak preview?

I don't-- I don't know.

-Oh. - Oh, come on, Mom.

Come on, it could be fun.

Sarah can play the piano.

Great idea.

Yeah.

I used to play for my mom when she'd rehearse a new show.

That's right. She did.

I'm in.

All right. One.

Bravo!

Welcome to Durnstein.

It's considered to be one of the most beautiful

small towns in Austria.

Home to the country's oldest winery estate.

2000 years of Roman Empire.

You know, I once read that men think about the Roman Empire

several times a week, but that can't be true.

Oh, yeah. It makes total sense.

Really?

I mean, they built a world-dominating society

and they had gladiators. How cool is that?

All right, you ready to go underground?

I'll protect you.

Who says I won't protect you?

After you.

Down here is miles of these tunnels

and tens of thousands of bottles.

It's really the perfect temperature for wine.

Ah.

Oh, here.

- Oh. - Take a picture of me?

- Got it. - Okay.

- Ready?

Oh, wait. Hold on. You got something right here.

It's right... there.

Got it.

- Wait.

Just some dust. Okay.

You wanna know something funny?

- Say cheese. - Cheese.

I got it the first time.

You did?!

You're ridiculous.

I know.

Are you feeling better about the show after last night?

I should be,

but I woke up this morning ready to tell my producer

that my house was on fire and I need to go home.

You know, Adele once ran down a fire escape

so that she wouldn't have to perform.

Yeah, smart lady. She ran away.

And she went on to sell out concerts around the world, so.

I haven't sung on stage in years.

My husband Charles never missed a show.

You're lucky you had that kind of relationship.

You weren't close with your wife?

I focused so much on my work,

and then one day Lucy was gone.

My biggest regret was not spending more time with her.

Our relationship just faded.

I had all that quality time with Charles.

He's gone.

It gets lonely.

Well, you have good memories, a daughter who loves you,

and a new friend.

Yeah. I do.

Wow.

My mom and your dad seem so deep in conversation over there.

I haven't seen him talk to someone for that long

in a long time.

- Same here. - Yeah?

My mom never opens up to me like that.

Maybe it's just their shared experiences, you know?

Make it a little easier for them.

I think that's part of the reason

she's so nervous about the show.

My dad not being here.

Now she has you.

And she's just in the chorus again.

Yeah, you've mentioned that a few times about the show.

Is that bothering you?

Like I said, she didn't realize her dream.

Maybe it's something more than that.

I guess I feel some guilt that I'm the reason for it.

So, I promised myself that I wouldn't let anything

hold me back.

Like having a family?

Well.

I'd need a husband for that first.

You and Jack are getting along nicely.

Um, well, so are you and Andre.

Uh, we're just friends.

What? But I thought you--

We know what you two have been up to.

We're happy to be friends.

But he raised a wonderful son.

Sarah, I see the connection between you two.

Okay, Mom, we are just friends, too.

Yeah, I may be Mom, but I'm not clueless.

Oh, Sarah, look at this.

This is vintage.

It's beautiful, isn't it?

Let's get it.

Mm. No, no, no. I have too many things already, sorry.

Are you sure?

Yeah.

Um...

Can I ask you something?

Mm-hm.

Do you ever regret not going further in your career?

Watching all those other women play leads?

A lot of those leads were jealous of what I had.

How so?

Well, I had it all.

I had the family, I had a steady job,

I was in love with both sides of my life.

I'm so glad you told me that.

You know this.

No.

I always felt like I held you back.

I was an independent woman,

and having you was the best thing I ever did.

I love you.

You know you're always a star in my book.

Aw.

Are you going to come to the castle tonight?

No, um...

I think I'm going to head back to the ship and relax a bit.

Okay, I'm going to go meet Jack now,

but I'll see you for dinner, right?

- Yeah. - All right.

Richard the Lionheart rebelled against his father,

Henry II.

Ooh, another reason to make nice with your dad.

True.

It's my boss.

You gonna answer it?

Yes, unless I want to be locked in a proverbial tower.

Is that the worst that could happen?

Probably.

Hm.

- I'm not answering it.

So, that's what it feels like to be your own boss.

Absolutely.

Oh, it's her again.

What's she saying?

She says if I don't find a new client,

I can kiss that promotion goodbye.

Well, as I see it, you have two choices.

You can go back to the ship and work,

or we go through that door,

have an amazing day.

Wow. Look at this place.

Wow.

I'd say you made a pretty good choice.

Feels good, yeah.

Okay. Well, uh, it's now officially a cheat day

and we're gonna do some cake tasting.

Why not?

Thank you.

- Hello. - Thanks.

- Hi. - Hello.

Hello, group. I am Lukas.

We have four different kinds of tortes for you to try today.

We have the apricot almond torte,

the raspberry torte,

the chocolate espresso nut torte,

and the mint chocolate torte.

Now, I want your palate to savor every bite,

to really feel those flavors, all right?

Please.

Cheers.

- All right.

Marie Antoinette would be rolling in her grave right now.

That's right.

- Oh, yeah. - Mm-hm.

Lukas, that's it, man.

Oh, yeah. Let me try this.

How's this?

Mm.

Let me try this. So...

I can't take you anywhere.

Them together is really good.

Hey, Lukas, can we get another slice of the mint, please?

Yes, it looks like you've already tried

the mint chocolate torte, sir, and it's one slice only.

It's a tough crowd. Tough crowd.

It's just that my fiancée and I, we're having a tough time

choosing between the mint and the, uh,

it's fudge raspberry you said?

- Yeah. - Fiancée?

Yeah. Brides, you know.

Can't make up their mind.

Well, we are not a bakery, sir.

There are a number of places in town that do weddings.

So, I suggest you try that.

We could just get, you know, married here.

- Oh. - Today.

I love it when you're impulsive.

- Right? - My little teddy bear.

Appreciate it.

Sir, the wait is sometimes years for weddings here.

Oh. That's a long time.

Um, we should just go to the courthouse then.

Oh, we could go with our cake slices.

Yeah. Just a to-go box.

To-go box?

- Bitte. - One'll be good.

Mm-hm.

Sure.

No!

What were you thinking?

I was just having fun, but okay, hypothetical question.

- Mm-hm. - You're getting married,

which flavor are you going with?

Buttercream vanilla.

So boring. That's a dealbreaker.

What?

That's a dealbreaker.

Well, what would you choose?

It's obvious. Mint chocolate. It's the only choice.

Oh, my gosh. Mint chocolate?

People I know who like mint chocolate torte are--

- Hey! - Hi!

- No, I'm serious. - How was the castle?

Fantastic.

We actually had the best time cake tasting,

and we brought you back some.

- Yeah. - Aww.

Help us pick out a wedding flavor.

- Excuse me? - What?

A cake guy thinks we're getting married.

Why?

Uh, 'cause I said we were.

Jack may have suggested that we were

together because he wanted more cake.

- This guy. -Ah.

You know, only people Jack feels really comfortable around

are lucky enough to see his prankster side.

Oh.

I feel lucky then.

Udvozoljuk. Welcome to Budapest.

As we sail into port you can see the iconic parliament building

with its golden crown and grand staircase.

It won't disappoint.

Thought your boss had had you locked up in a tower somewhere.

Hey. No, no. She just blocked the elevator

up to the proverbial one.

Ah. Well, you know,

there's plenty of ways to the top.

Personally, I don't think you need her.

Unfortunately I do, Jack,

and in fact, I just found this interesting company,

and I think I'm going to take the idea to her.

Look, they're new.

They do boutique hotels with a music theme across Europe,

and they're not partnered with a tour company yet,

and get this, the CEO is here in Budapest.

So, I cold emailed him.

This looks great. Best of luck.

Thank you.

Do you want a coffee or a tea?

- I'm okay.

Yeah? Oh, hang on. Sorry.

Oh, my gosh, it's him.

Well, I'll leave you alone.

No, no, no. Just--

No, it's fine. I'm going to go find my dad.

- See what he's up to. - Okay. Thanks.

Sarah Matthews.

Yes, Mr. Kovacs. Thank you so much for responding to my email.

So, when we get back home does this mean I have to

clean your shoes after I caddy for you?

Part of the deal.

Sit?

This is nice, right? Spending some time together?

Yeah.

Why did you bring me on this cruise?

Do you remember that Father's Day story that

we ran in the paper?

About the father and son, the parents were divorcing.

And he made him a promise,

that he felt so bad that he was gonna call him every single day,

and he did.

For 35 years.

Wow.

I thought to myself, you know, what are we doing?

We live 10 minutes from each other and we barely speak.

Jack, I'm so sorry. I wasn't the greatest father.

I deserve some blame in that.

You were a kid.

I know I was a kid,

but I was a kid and then I grew up.

I had a choice to make something of this,

make something of you and I.

I wasn't there for you or your mother.

She really loved you.

She understood your passion a lot more than I did.

I remember how excited she got about going to

the football games and seeing your band play.

She was proud of you. I'm proud of you.

It's not too late for us.

Thanks for saying that, son.

I want that second chance.

Me, too.

- Love you. - I love you, too.

And, son, any fool could see you've got it bad for Sarah.

Yeah, I guess so.

Sarah, you look nice.

Oh. Thanks, Teddy. I just had a business meeting.

Oh, if you could just keep that between us please.

Of course. How'd it go?

Really well. Things are finally looking up on the work front.

That's nice to hear.

Oh, uh, Jack was looking for you a little earlier.

Oh, uh, do you know where he is?

I think he was in the lounge.

Oh, okay. Great. I'm just gonna go change.

- Sarah. - Yeah?

He likes you.

No, we're, um... we're just friends.

Are you?

- Hey. - Hey.

Um, Teddy said you were looking for me?

Yeah. You wanna sit down?

Oh.

Any chance you're free for dinner tonight?

I know a pretty special place.

- Sure, sounds great. - Good.

But I should probably check with my mom

and your dad?

No need. They're in a car right now on the way to dinner.

- Their idea? - Their idea.

You know they're onto us, right?

Well.

I didn't think my mom was ready.

Guess she changed her mind.

Wow.

This is an amazing spot.

Up until this point everything's been about our parents.

So, I wanted you to have your own special memory.

Well, I've had so many great ones with you on this trip,

but this is so thoughtful. Thank you.

You're very, very welcome.

So, how about a toast to...

Let's see. Oh, barely bathing suits.

To all my corny jokes.

Yes, oh, and let's not forget our, um,

our faux-mance complete with wedding torte.

- To wedding tortes.

And the courthouse is just across the street.

Um, I should also tell you that

I landed that account with that CEO in Budapest.

That's great.

- Yeah. - Wow.

He-- He actually really loved

my idea of pairing the music themed hotels with music tours,

and-- and we started talking

and all these ideas just clicked.

And Patricia was thrilled.

She said the promotion's all but mine.

Congratulations, Sarah. That's...

...fantastic. Your persistence paid off.

I still think though that you can do something great

from home.

You know, Teddy said something to me right before I saw you.

Yeah?

She said that, um, she thinks that...

...we should be more than friends.

I think Teddy is right.

Jack...

I'm so sorry.

I feel like I'm still trying to figure out...

...everything.

And you should.

I get that. You should take time for yourself,

take time to travel.

Maybe even see what it's like to get home to an early dinner.

And I appreciate you saying that.

I appreciate what you said about us.

I just don't feel like now is the right time.

Yeah.

Mom, I got us some coffee.

Julia's Voicemail: Hi, it's Julia. Leave a message.

Hi, Mom, I just saw your note.

I hope everything's okay. Call me.

Hey.

Oh, hi.

There you are.

I'm sorry. I should have told you.

I woke up this morning with a little panic attack.

So, just needed some air.

This is about the show, isn't it?

Yeah.

But it's also a lot of things that just hit me all at once.

But it's okay. It's okay.

This trip has been good for us.

I've actually had the best time with you.

But you're still doing the show, right?

I don't know. I just...

Should I be doing something that causes me this much anxiety?

Maybe my time on the stage has passed.

And that's... okay.

Here.

I got something for you.

For me?

Yeah.

I can't believe you got me this.

Medieval Europeans wore rubies to guarantee success.

Okay, there.

Let me see.

Thank you.

Aw.

It's perfect on you.

You know I miss him, too, right?

Just as much as you do.

Oh, honey.

I've been so busy feeling sad for myself,

I never take the time to ask you how you're doing.

It's been really hard.

But I feel so much better when I'm with you.

But you're always so busy.

I know, I know.

And I need to start putting you first.

I want to spend more time with you.

Well, maybe we could start with Sunday dinner.

My place, your place. Wherever you want.

Deal.

So, how's it going with Jack?

I'm not sure it's going anywhere.

You know we're both rooting for you.

You're good together, Sarah.

I hear you.

Good.

But a more urgent matter...

Are you going to do the show or not?

We have to let Stanley know.

It is just the chorus.

I guess I could handle that.

Yes, you can!

Oh, you're gonna be so good.

I know you are.

We'll see.

You're the best.

No, no, no. All the steps are there.

All right, so this is just your playing space.

I just want you to free up.

At the end of the central circle,

what happened?

Was it just a missed timing thing?

- Anyway, don't worry-- - Stanley.

Julia!

Aw, so good to see you!

I have missed you so much.

Mm. Thank you for doing this.

Oh. Thank you for asking this...

I don't know what I am anymore.

Stop it. You're fabulous.

How's the cruise been?

Uh... an adventure.

I want to hear all about it at the after-party.

You got it.

So, we have an area for you.

- Oh, lovely. - All set up backstage.

- This way? - This way.

Oh.

- Hi. - Hey.

How you doing?

Oh, you know you're really stressed when you start

getting on your own nerves.

Aw, it's okay.

Remember what I told you.

And I'll be right here, too.

What would I do without you?

You got this.

You, too.

Oh, hi. How's it looking out there?

Good, but we have a slight problem.

What?

Flora called in sick,

and she can't do the opening solo. So--

- Don't say it. - I need you.

Stanley, I can't.

I got a packed house out there

and you're the best singer I have.

I am not a lead.

But you should've been.

You fought being the lead every step of the way.

Because we all have a part to play.

How many years have I known you?

Too many.

Well, this I know.

You were born to do this solo.

Please say yes.

Hm?

Take a few minutes.

Hope it's okay we came back to say hi.

We wanted to wish you the best for the show.

Of course. Um... Oh, and thank you

for the beautiful flowers.

Did I hear "solo?"

I can't do it.

Um, Julia.

I just want to let you know how impressed we have been with you.

The fact that you've accomplished everything you have

and you did it on your own.

Now you're here.

It's your time to shine.

We'll see you on stage, whatever you decide to do.

Hey.

Thank you for that.

I think Sarah really appreciated what you said to Julia.

I meant every word.

Don't let this slip through your fingers.

Love is fleeting.

I learned that the hard way with your mother.

She said it wasn't the right time, so.

And you're going to let that stop you from trying?

Hello, everyone. Welcome to the Operetta Theatre,

one of the oldest theatres in Hungary,

and tonight it's going to be the stage for

the city's first ever Broadway revival.

I left Budapest as a young boy.

and it is my honor to be back,

bringing you my passion.

Broadway.

Thank you, and thank you all for helping me make this possible.

Hello, everyone.

I'm more than a little surprised to be

standing here on my own tonight.

It certainly wasn't the plan, was it, Stanley?

The song I'll be singing is a love song,

but it's also a song about possibilities,

if you 're willing to open your heart to them.

Mom. Mom.

You were amazing.

Did you see how much the audience loved you?

You did it.

It felt... good.

It felt really, really good.

Course it did.

Born to be a star.

Stanley.

You ready to party?

Oh, I am so ready for that glass of wine.

Hey, um, where's Jack?

Uh, he felt really bad about how things were left with you two.

Oh, um...

Is he coming to the after-party?

I don't think so. He went back to the ship.

He really likes you, Sarah.

I hope you two can make it work.

You've made my son really happy,

and I would love to see you back in Connecticut.

I'd like that, too.

Good luck with whatever you decide.

Thank you, Andre.

Aww.

Is this the one you told me about?

- Yeah. Betty. - Ah.

This is Stanley.

Oh, please. No introduction needed.

You... are a legend.

Wh--

- Mm. - No, you are. You are.

Thank you.

You're a Broadway fan I take it?

Oh, she's our amazing Broadway fan.

I'll see you in a bit.

Okay, so what's your favorite musical?

One of yours, actually.

Take a Bite Out of the Big Apple.

- Yes.

That scene where Tiffany just misses Tom in Times Square,

and then they meet again one year later,

on Long Island, in the bakery. It is just so good.

Where are you from, Betty?

Pittsburgh. Culturally, a long way from New York.

Well, I'm from Hungary, so that makes two of us.

I'm so excited that you're gonna be doing more of these concerts.

You know, I heard such great things

about the cruise from Julia.

I booked myself on the next one.

Well, then, we're gonna be seeing each other.

I'm on it, too.

Seriously?

Oh, yes. Seriously.

Well, I've taken a lot of cruises.

I have a feeling it could be the best one yet.

Stanley, that's my line.

I'm sorry, honey.

Mm. It's okay, Mom.

I mean, we met on a cruise.

Yeah.

We didn't even talk about liking each other until last night.

What did I think was going to happen?

Don't be too disappointed.

Oh, Mom.

I want you go and enjoy yourself.

Have fun. You deserve it.

- Sure? - Yes.

I'm just going to pop back to the boat and pack, though, okay?

Oh, sure.

Yeah, I'll see you later.

All right.

Jack.

You came.

I wasn't gonna leave without saying goodbye.

I've learned one really important thing on this cruise,

and that's to never leave anything unresolved.

What does that mean?

It means I don't care if you work 24/7.

I don't care if you work weekends.

You could run the company if you want.

I know one thing.

I want this.

I'm so glad you said that,

because when I realized you left the theatre,

my heart just sunk.

And in that moment, I knew I want this too.

You walk into a room and I can't help but smile.

There's a million things I could say to you right now,

but the one thing I want to say is I just want to be with you.

I want to be around you, too,

and I decided something today.

If I'm telling my mom to get out on that stage

when she's panicking on the inside

and she does it in the most beautiful and eloquent way,

then I'd better have the courage to do the same.

What's that mean?

I'm saying goodbye to Patricia and starting my own company.

Thank you for believing in me.

I'm so proud of you.

Best cruise ever.

It really is, isn't it?

Mm-hm.

Until next time, safe travels home.

Oh, hello.

It was so nice to have you on board.

We hope you enjoyed your stay.

Just so great to have this time with Sarah

and to meet Jack and Andre.

We like to think our cruises inspire our passengers

to help build new relationships.

Well, this trip is exactly what I needed

and we certainly created a wonderful friendship.

Aww.

And Jack and Sarah?

They totally owe us for this set-up.

Oh, that's for sure.

By the way, where are they?

Good question.

You know, we'll have to come back once a year,

back where it all started.

Someone's confident.

When you find the one.

There's one more thing I wanna do.

What's that?

- Patricia...

...I'm quitting.

No. Quitting. Not quilting.

It's saying quilting.

You can do both later.
