Isn't it mesmerizing?

Following its cosmic path until fate strikes and sends it into another

direction.

Back and forth.

Back and forth.

Stop trying to hypnotize me. I'm not quitting.

Boy,

what are you doing?

Balloon ball.

First one to let it touch the ground loses, and I don't lose.

That doesn't seem very challenging.

That's the problem.

We've been playing all night and Bo won't quit. You quit.

You quit.

You quit. You quit. Go.

Game over.

Finally. Oh, thank you.

Good morning, girls.

Hey, Dad. Why'd you text us?

I was hoping you could help me pick out what to wear tonight.

Really? Why?

Also, these all look exactly the same.

Sleigh midnight black means formal.

This subtle pinstripe means business.

The charcoal?

Cool and casual.

Cool and casual.

Yes.

That's the one.

Right. And back to why?

I'm taking Beth out for a special dinner tonight, and I just wanted to make sure

I look, you know, nice.

Aw. All right, all right.

Where are you going?

Crazy Carlos Crab Shack.

Dad. While being knuckle -deep and melted butter may seem romantic, it's

And while my mom does have a soft spot for soft shell, you might want to up

game on this one. Have you considered somewhere with candles, soft music, and

not plastic bibs? Girls, I appreciate the help, but I've got this.

Trust me.

I gotta go.

Did he just wink at us?

You saw that, too?

Oh, good. I thought it was just me.

So...

Or did he just have them in his eye?

Those are both possibilities.

But one thing's for sure, something is going on. So to be clear, we don't know

what that something is, do we? No, we do not.

Hey, dude.

Nate, you're covered in mud.

Nice. Uh, whatcha makin'? Just a quick sleep shake.

I was up all night. You've got your warm milk, mints, lavender, and 53 sheep.

You're going to blend sheep?

I'm counting them, not drinking them.

Oh. I could have been clearer about that.

Anyway, I was hoping I could borrow some dirt from the yard.

Yeah, that's Mother Nature. She owns it. Cool.

I'll just leave her a note.

I need it for my mud.

Mud cabin.

Mud cabin?

Just one mud.

Pioneer Day is coming up, so I need to build a historically accurate recreation

of what the settlers lived in.

Fascinating.

I fancy myself a modern -day pioneer.

That does not surprise me. The simplicity, the minimalism, the fine

hats. It's just so me.

Can I help? Hey, if you want to lug some buckets of dirt, I won't stop you. But

don't you want to sleep?

Not anymore. I just need a wake shake.

You mean coffee?

Yeah.

Jake? Italian sushi.

Exactly. Anything is better than cracking open giant sea spiders on a

unromantic. So messy.

Sometimes my dad is coolest.

Maybe it's the whole being super famous and having everyone do everything for

you thing.

What is that?

Oh, sorry. Was that the sort of truth I'm not supposed to point out?

No. I was talking about this.

A ring box?

For a ring?

My dad must be planning to propose to my mom. That must be why he was in such a

good mood. I'm so nervous about what to wear.

My dad's going to propose tonight.

At Crazy Carlo's Crab Shack.

Ew. That's going to be the worst proposal ever. We need to do something.

Yes, you're right. We'll buy the restaurant, release the crabs, turn it

fancy romantic bistro. Or we take over the proposal and make it the best one

ever. That's much better than my idea.

Although, when we released the crabs, who could have written, marry me, meth

their backs, and... Fine. I checked the proposal.

Much better idea.

Sometimes parents need a little help.

So we're helping ours get together.

My mom, my best friend. Her dad, huge movie star.

And things might get a little crazy.

Okay, a lot crazy.

But that's just life in Star Falls.

Okay, we have to come up with a plan.

Yeah. We can't let my dad propose to your mom at Crazy Carlos Crab Cabin.

actually a shack, but you're right. What if something goes wrong?

Hot butter splashing, shells flying, pinches pincing. Seafood is dangerous.

a romance killer.

What if they decide they're not right for each other and they fall out of love

and you guys leave Star Falls forever?

That cannot happen.

Wait, would we go back to L .A.? Right, not the point.

Emily, you're here. Okay, so here's what's happening. Hold on. What is this?

We're filling buckets with dirt.

And that?

I'm a modern -day pioneer.

I'm just going to stop asking questions.

Yeah, who cares?

Anyway, Dad is going to propose to Beth tonight.

What? That's amazing.

Except he's planning to do it at Crazy Carl's Crab Shack. Not amazing.

Isn't that on a fishing boat? I thought it was a shack.

Well, it's like a floating shack, so you're both right.

Anyway, we obviously can't let that happen, so we have to hijack the

ensure that it's super romantic and perfect and nothing goes wrong.

Right. Well, as much as I love a good scheme, this sounds like more of a

-based scheme. So I'm just going to go build myself a drama -free mud cabin.

Good luck.

What can I do?

First of all, lose the hat.

Aw.

I can't take you seriously when you're wearing it.

Next, you need to distract my mom.

Like with a pioneer hat, perhaps?

No.

Just keep my mom busy, and we'll let you know where to take her for the big

moment. Can you handle that?

Yes. But I don't need my hat.

Fine.

So, what's our plan?

Right, a plan.

We're going to need one of those.

What's with all the slamming? I'm sleeping here.

Sorry, but big news. Dad's going to propose to Beth tonight and we have to

it a secret. So, whatever.

What are you doing?

Nothing, just making sure it works.

And it does. Look, super sparkly.

Stop it, give me that. Ow, ow, ow!

I'll hang on to this.

Why you?

Because I'm way more responsible.

That is not true. I'm super responsible.

I'll show you. Turn around and fall backwards into my arms. I'll catch you.

not gonna do it.

Fine.

Okay, go.

Wait, that's our trust and responsibility.

Sorry.

And you keep the ring.

Good call.

Okay, so where were we?

Brainstorming a romantic proposal idea.

Ooh, what about a rowboat?

In water?

No, pudding.

Just water.

What if they tip over?

What if there are piranhas in the water?

Still better than the crab shack. That's true.

Fireworks display over the lake. Such a majestic opera with live opera singers.

No can do.

Starfold banned fireworks after the factory burned down and everyone just

watched and applauded.

But you know what would be perfect?

What?

Can you picture it?

Totes.

Proposal at the Vanshell.

And a carpet of red roses that spell out love.

Yes! And a... Band. A classy one. Yes. Three. No, four strings. All the

My dad writes in on a stallion. Yes. Oh, and we need a cake. A big one. And the

ring should be in the cake. Genius. Where do we start?

Probably with calming down. You're right.

Okay, I'm calm.

Oh, we should get Bo to help with the cake. Why?

He's hidden a lot of things in cakes.

Now this is a dream.

It's perfection.

I only just started. I feel at one with the earth around me.

Uh -huh.

What are you doing here, anyway?

Don't you have proposal meddling to do?

Yeah, I'm supposed to keep Beth distracted.

Wait. You're not bringing her here, are you?

We're building a mud cabin. It's going to get messy.

I suppose a lady wouldn't want to be covered in mud before her engagement.

You need to take her somewhere else.

But she's already... Hey, guys. Hi.

I can't believe I forgot Pioneer Day is coming up. You know, I used to be a

junior pioneer girl.

Built a few mud cabins in my day. A couple of mud dog houses, too.

Need a hand?

What? No.

We're almost done here.

Done? Nate, you need a lot of help.

And this pioneer girl is going to show you how it's done.

Um, excuse me. Hi. Hello.

Yeah? Hi, I'm here to see you about a horse.

Uh -huh.

Right, so I need your best, most regal stallion.

It's for Craig Brooke.

The big movie star?

He's going to propose to Beth.

You mean Beth Miller?

The vet?

Oh, her, you know.

Oh, of course.

But a stallion?

No can do.

Oh, I might have something for you.

Exactly as regal as I was hoping.

Oh, Buttercup's a real workhorse.

Well, donkey.

Take a reliever. She kind of smells.

Can I give her a bath?

You can try.

I put fake rats in cakes, fake fingers, oh, and a fake snake cake, of course.

Bo, that's awful.

What? I said it was a fake snake.

And my point is, if you're going to put a ring in the cake, how about a fake

finger, too?

Would you focus?

Now, do we break the ring into the cake, or do we build the cake around it?

Huh.

Oh, no.

Hey!

I lost the ring!

Then I guess we'll just go with the fake snake.

Oh, it's the engagement ring. This is so not me.

Well, it's not in here.

Maybe. The ring's not in an egg.

Sorry for being thorough.

So where were you today?

We just have to retrace your steps.

Where? Where? Well, I was by the river, in the park, the bandshell, the owl.

So everywhere.

I'm not helping.

But hey, we'll just have to check all those places.

Let's go.

I said we as in me and you. You have to come and help me.

Come on.

Lame.

This really isn't necessary.

Of course it is. I used to be a pioneer girl. I'm fine with getting dirty. But

you don't know where this mud has been.

And you don't know where these hands have been. I delivered two calves this

week. Gross.

Exactly.

Well, as a pioneer girl, I bet you're really good at gathering.

I need a lot of sticks for...

Structural support.

How many bushels are we talking?

Three, four, key hundred?

I'm not familiar with that unit of measurement.

Okay, Buttercup.

You're going to be a regal donkey in no time.

Let's do this.

What do you think?

Let's call Diamond.

Maybe she can help. No!

We will not tell Diamond anything.

She can't know that I lost the ring.

I made it very clear that I was the responsible one. Really?

Because it's not very responsible to lose the ring. Whoa!

What are we going to do?

Okay, well, we saw the ring box.

Oh, great!

What are we supposed to do with the ring box?

First, watch the tone.

Sorry.

And... Let's use Baxter to follow the scent and find the ring.

The only thing Baxter can track is Dirty Sock.

Okay, then I guess we'll just tell Diamond. No!

You were right, but give it a try.

Come on, boy. Smell it out.

It's working!

Told ya!

But he's probably just leading us to Dirty Sock.

Check it out.

Nice gathering.

I knew you were a natural.

Hey, Nate, why don't I mix up the next batch of mud and then we can... No!

Uh, why no?

Because... Nate?

Because we need help sorting all those sticks you collected.

Master sorter right here got a badge for it.

Great! That should take a while, right?

What? No. I got a speed sorting badge, too.

Told you this wouldn't work. He just let us back to his food bowl.

Yeah, but what's in the bowl?

Oh, my dog!

It worked! The ring!

It must have fallen out of my pocket when I was feeding him!

Proposal saver!

Woo!

Please tell me Baxter didn't just eat my mom's ring.

Baxter didn't just eat your mom's ring.

But he totally did.

Come

on,

boy, just poop out my mom's brain.

It's a sentence I never thought I'd say.

Looks like it takes 10 to 24 hours for a dog to pass stuff.

Oh, we don't have much time.

Oh, no.

Oh, it's Diamond.

Uh, that's normal.

Sophia speaking.

I mean, hello.

Hey, so T -minus 30 minutes until Mission to Happily Ever After. Wait,

everything going?

Good.

So?

Good. How many prunes do you think a dog can eat? No prunes!

What? No prunes on us? You know that old saying, right?

No? Anyway, how are things with you?

Great, obviously. Just picking up the flowers now.

No! No, no, no! Stop!

Heel! Do not eat the roses!

Why would I eat roses?

What? No!

Me! Silly! I can't resist the scent.

Mmm, delicious.

Okay, gotta go. See you at the bancho.

Not a good buttercup. Come on, let's go.

Large to small, hardwood separated from softwood, and three grades of bark

thickness.

Wow, I really admire your dedication to pioneering.

And your speed.

Just wow.

Aw, thanks.

I just think it's really important to know how to live off the land. Exactly.

A phoenix?

Can I talk to you for a sec?

I don't know how much longer we can keep making up this thick stuff that, as it

turns out, she's amazing at. It's okay, we did it. She's clean and she knows

nothing about the proposal.

Which we need to get her to right now.

Really?

Well, let's go!

You gotta work on this mud, boys.

It's way too watery.

Dad!

What are you doing here? No time. You're coming with me.

No. I've got to get home and get changed for dinner.

No time for that either.

But I need to grab something.

Oh, I know.

What do you know, and why are you winking? Do you have something in your

Put this on.

But why?

I said no time. Time, like three times. We have to get to the band shell.

Now move it. Knees up. Let's go.

I'm not running.

I have a car.

Even better. Take her!

Why would Beth be here?

Um... Wait for it.

Hello? Great, now hop on.

Yeah, I'd rather not.

Dad, you have to.

Diamond, what is going on?

We're here, we're here.

Where's the cake?

Yeah, about that.

There is no cake.

Where's the ring, then?

Yeah, about that. It is here.

Where? It's in Baxter. Long story.

He ate it. Okay, not for long. Are you serious?

It'll be fine.

Everything else is ready.

Wait, that's a donkey.

A regal donkey.

Yeah, that's not a thing. Well, it turns out you can't just run to Sally and say

thanks for the heads up. What? This is my fault? No, wait.

Okay, you two need to tell me what's going on now.

You were going to take Beth out to dinner.

We found the ring in the bunkhouse. Ring?

That's a prop from my movie. I was looking everywhere for it.

So you're not... Oh, no.

Why do I have to come to the band cell? Well, um... Craig, what are you doing

here? What is everyone doing here?

Is that Buttercup?

Okay, someone please tell me what's going on.

Is this proposal happening or what?

Proposal? Mom, I'm sorry.

We were trying to make an amazing proposal for you. What?

Sophia, how many times do I have to tell you to stop meddling?

You can't just force a proposal.

Actually, I wasn't going to propose today, but I was planning on it.

I... And?

Well, since everyone's here... I mean... Is this real? Yes!

You have a little mud... Well, everywhere here.

But we mapped everything out. True.

I am standing next to a donkey with a bow on its head.

But you did try to make Beth and me happy.

All of you did.

So even when things go wrong, like this... Still feels pretty right.

Exactly.

I know it's no ring.

Trust me, you don't want the ring.

But I had these specially made for our crab dinner tonight.

That was the surprise.

Aw, a crab hammer.

Kind of strange, but it has my name on it.

Beth Miller, will you marry me?

Yes.

Yes? Yes.

Did she say yes? Yes!

One, two, three, four!

Yes!

Nice job.

Smells nice.

Come on, Baxter.

Yes, you are.

So, we messed up pretty bad.

Did we? Because look.

I guess it did work out. They're definitely happy.

Yay, Baxter did it.

Who wants to get the ring?
