Original subtitles

No, I understand.

But, Ava, honey, they have some ugly gear at the hotel,

and how are you going to fit fins in your carry-on?

It's the only bag we're taking.

Sweeter, I gotta run.

Okay.

And here we have the intern break room.

Spend as little time in there as possible,

and as much time as you can with me in the ER.

It's going to be a good day today.

All right, we got four riders.

None of which have any idea what they're doing,

but you guys will take good care of them, right?

Like you always do.

It's going to be a good day.

All right.

Just give me full labs on that one.

Okay.

Dr. Bailey was looking for you.

Okay, thank you.

And Dr. Murphy needs you to look at that EKG he sent you.

Oh, yeah, I was saving that for the train ride home.

Pediatric patient number four, how's our lollipop supply?

Well stocked.

I'll bring it to him, but I need you to sign this.

And I need you to go, go, go.

Ah, Dr. Bailey.

Jessica, you were supposed to be on vacation by now.

Don't make me pry that tablet out of your hands.

Okay, walking towards the door.

Do me a favor when you're in Fiji.

Remember your priorities.

Decompress, unplug, spend time with family.

No.

Oh, right.

The infamous honey cake.

I won't show my face back here without it.

Ava!

My new novel.

I can't find it anywhere.

Oh, the cupcake on the cover?

I threw it away.

It was making me hungry.

Here, let me help.

No, I've got it.

It's okay.

Oh, there it is.

Wait, why are my sandals in here?

Oh, for the lovo.

The what?

The lovo.

It's like Luau in Fiji.

People dress up for those.

At least they did when I was there.

Mom, you lived with a family.

This is a big resort.

You promised you'd be chill on this vacation.

Well, I can be more chill if I'm prepared.

Must be Karen.

Hi!

Hi!

I can't believe you made it all the way out here.

You're supposed to be home with your feet up and at the comedy zone.

Well, I can't let you go on vacation without the right gear.

Look at that.

Ta-da!

This is awesome!

Oh, we can take pictures when we're snorkeling.

Anything for my favorite goddaughter.

I love you.

Here, come sit down.

Okay, I have something for you, too.

Oh, yeah?

I stopped by the hospital to do my leave paperwork.

Oh?

Heard some gossip.

Oh, what did you hear?

Dr. Robertson won the Schilling fellowship.

That is fantastic!

Wow, I've got to text him.

Really?

That's your first thought.

Send him a text.

Well, why wouldn't I...

Oh.

Yes.

He's slated to be the new attending.

Well, who's next in line?

Well, here it's not a done deal, but there's a definite candidate.

I'm tender.

Me?

Come on.

You're a great doctor.

And you get along with everyone.

A promotion would be a huge honor, but it kind of puts a crimp in my plan.

The private practice.

I'm serious about this, Karen.

I was looking at office space last week.

I could make my own hours and spend more time with Ava.

If I was attending, I'd be in charge, there would be a pay raise, but the hours.

Pay.

Preaching to the choir.

I'm not sure how long I'll last in the ER once this little man makes his appearance.

This little man looks like he's going to make an appearance in my living room.

I know, right?

How can I possibly have three weeks left?

When is David coming back?

He won't redeploy until I'm 39 weeks.

I'm telling you, pregnancy is tough.

But it's a lot tougher when your husband's on a destroyer halfway across the world.

I can postpone my trip.

Yeah, no, I can't postpone the birth of my godson, but... No, no, no.

You've had this plan for a year.

I know how important Fiji was to you and Greg.

He would've wanted you to share it with Ava.

Yeah.

Well, it's time to focus on the future.

Imagine how different life will be a month from now.

For all of us.

I take it that means hello?

Hello, goodbye, welcome, thank you, bless

you, and probably a few others I'm forgetting.

Bottom line, it's a good word to know.

Ula,

welcome to Singular Fijian Resort and Spa.

Thank you.

Ula!

Ula!

Would you like a saloo saloo?

Oh, um, no, that's very kind.

I think I'll wait till happy hour?

It's not a cocktail.

I was offering you a saloo saloo.

A flaole?

Okay.

Yeah, I guess my Fijian's a little rusty.

Thank you.

May I take your welcome photo?

Uh, you know, she prefers to take pictures, not be in them.

Oh, I completely understand.

I'm the same.

Nice camera.

Thanks.

Oh, looks like my dad's ready to check you in.

Thank you.

Ula!

Ula!

Danny!

Uh, the flowers are a very nice touch.

Well, I'm glad you like them.

Uh, Miss Martin.

Alright, so I see that we've got you in your

private villa suite with your own backyard.

With pool and beach access?

Hey, she knows her stuff.

Now, will you be joining us for Lobo Thursday?

Wouldn't miss it for the world.

Great.

Oh, and we have our art and photography show later this week, too.

Oh, well, we'll have to check that out.

Yeah.

Eva, I don't know about you, but I am ready to lounge.

You grab your bag, and I'll get mine.

Um... Uh...

Oh, I'm so sorry.

No problem.

I see you have excellent taste in luggage.

As do you, Doctor.

Your, uh, luggage tag.

AMA, San Diego.

Oh, right.

I'm Jessica Martin, Emergency Medicine,

Riverside Hospital, and this is my daughter, Eva.

Hi.

Uh, Trevor Copeland, Thoracic Surgery.

Oh, at the AMA.

You were the... The keynote speaker.

Right.

You raised some fascinating issues in STEM outcomes.

If you've got time, I would love to talk... Mom.

Um... at some point.

Absolutely.

Well, I'm around all week, so hopefully I'll see you ladies around.

Okay.

Great.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay, bye.

I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to talk shop, but in the thoracic surgery world... Mom.

He's... Your nerd is showing.

Okay.

Oh.

Oh, look at this.

Our vacation has officially started.

Oh, wow.

Oh.

Mom, you're in kingdom of you.

See, Eva.

Some people would say that downloading a map of the hotel,

requesting a specific room might be overkill, but...

Uh...

Excuse me.

Hi.

Uh, I'm Jessica.

This is Eva.

My daughter.

We... we just arrived.

Oh, great.

I'm Will.

Oh, uh... I didn't realize there was a construction project going on.

Oh, I wouldn't, uh... I wouldn't exactly call this a project.

Okay.

Well, it's, um... a little noisy.

And, uh, you know, we got here to vacation at this vacation resort.

Oh, is that what this is?

Well, we have a heavy schedule of activities tomorrow.

We'll be out of the room.

You can hammer then.

Ooh.

No can do.

This is a pretty urgent project.

Exclusively for this suite.

Besides, I'm just about done.

May I ask what it is?

It's a, uh... it's a hammock.

Oh, Mommy.

Let him put it up.

I can read, feel the breeze, nap.

Yeah, see, she's got the right idea.

Okay.

Well, we'll head out to the pool and... Let me get my suit.

Great.

Well, thanks.

I'll throw in some, uh, free Lobo tickets for your trouble.

Oh.

So, did I tell the front desk that Will the hammock guy threw them in?

Will the co-owner.

Works better.

Eva!

Why don't you put your camera down and look?

Just experience things firsthand.

Mom, you don't get it.

I have to be ready.

For what?

For when I see my perfect picture.

How will you know when that is?

I don't know, but I'll know when I see it.

And every time I look at it, I'll think of this place.

And, and Dad.

Wow, that's a worthy goal.

But I'm pretty sure he would also want you to have fun.

And you don't always need to have an objective.

Tell you what.

I'll put down the camera if you put down the phone.

I bet I can go longer without my phone than you can without your camera.

Let's go for a walk.

Doing a year abroad here.

Must have been incredible.

Oh, yeah.

The people and the culture.

Meeting your dad wasn't so bad, either.

It must have been so romantic.

Not the first time we met.

I was on the shuttle from the airport, but... After that, yes.

God, it's just, it's so not like you.

You know, eloping here a month before you graduated from college.

Marrying your dad was one of the best decisions I ever made.

And it got you out of the bargain.

I just still can't believe you guys were here.

At this resort.

Together.

Yeah, it was a little smaller back then, but they still,

you know, they had the snorkeling and horseback riding.

Your dad had a favorite bench on one of the reef cliffs.

He used to watch the sunset and pitch what our life would be like when we moved here.

You were really going to come back here for good?

Yeah, I was going to open a clinic.

Dad was going to buy a boat, take tourists out on fishing trips.

Why didn't you?

Oh, a little thing called med school.

And of course, parenthood.

But I promised your dad that I would bring you here one day.

And here we are.

We can go snorkeling in his honor.

And hike?

And horseback riding?

And pedal boarding?

Yeah, I'm not quite coordinated enough for that one, but I will cheer you on.

No, adventure's mine.

It's an adventure just watching you, cutie.

Dr. Martin.

Yeah?

Come out of the rain.

Oh, uh, sure.

Your girl's in full vacation mode.

I've only just unpacked, checked into my office, and discovered clawed pork nachos.

Oh, yum.

Oh, and Peter.

This is Ava and Jessica.

Hello?

Peter is famous for his smoothies.

So, what's it going to be, Ava?

Mango, banana, pineapple, or pineapple?

Pineapple, mango, banana.

I'll have banana, mango, pineapple.

Ooh.

Good choice.

But it's really all about the garnishes.

Ooh.

Care to take a stab?

Pun intended.

If you two make those, I'll make you some smoothies.

Okay.

So, what have you ladies got planned while you're here?

Oh, just some fun.

Try some new things and, uh, chill, as my daughter would say.

Chill, yeah.

People use that word on me a lot, too.

The head of research at my university actually

mandated that I come on this vacation.

Oh, you came alone?

Well, it was a last minute decision.

Didn't have time to coordinate a friend and,

well, it gives me a chance to make new friends.

What about you?

Oh, just the two of us.

Like two peas in a pod?

Yes.

Uh, hoping this vacation helps her come out of her pod just a little.

Mom.

Well, if it helps, I was thinking about doing some

horseback riding in a couple of days, if you wanted to join.

Ooh, horseback riding is on our list.

What do you think, yeah?

Mm-hmm.

We might join you.

Right.

Well, to new friends.

Cheers.

Cheers.

Mom, my camera.

I left it in the room.

Do I have time to go get it?

Ain't gonna happen to our bed.

Mom, how am I supposed to get my perfect picture?

Okay, get your camera, get your shot, I'll meet you at the restaurant in a few hours.

I got you something I wanted to do.

Thanks.

Thanks.

I'm sorry.

Hi.

Hi.

Will?

I am really sorry to disturb you again.

I'm just trying to get this to maintenance, and usually there's nobody out here, so.

Uh, you do a lot of physical work for an owner.

Yeah, well, I mean, when we took this place over, and we knew that in order to

make it the best, everybody's got to get their hands dirty.

You know, everybody does every job.

We're a family.

Well, it shows, and, uh, I respect that.

Thank you.

This reef lookout, it's, uh, it's one of the hidden gems.

Yeah, it was my husband's favorite when we were here an eternity ago.

I thought coming back here would, uh, make me

sad, but I actually feel an odd sense of calm.

Hmm.

The locals call that maravu.

I remember maravu.

Uh, it's peace, right?

Yeah.

Yeah, the special kind of peace you can, uh...

you can only find on the islands.

You know it?

I used to.

Well, I'll leave you to it.

And I hope you find it again.

Me too.

I'm sorry.

Mom, this trip is about new... Adventures, I know.

Embracing the possibility.

But I'm checking on Karen.

Uh, uh, okay, okay, this is me relaxing.

Oh, come on.

It could be Karen.

Okay.

Oh, she's doing okay.

But she doesn't know anything yet.

Anything about what?

Oh, um, this thing at work.

It's, it's nothing.

Well, if it's nothing, can't I wait till tomorrow?

Unless you want to admit I already won the bet?

Besides, can I be thrown in the water?

There.

How can this possibly be the same ocean we have at home?

You can see the bottom.

Yeah, and everything in it.

I'm still getting used to that.

Hey.

Hey.

Hi.

Getting ready to start.

Uh, yeah, adjusting to the time change.

Uh, well, I'm Lani, one of the owners.

Oh, I'm Jessica.

This is my daughter, Ava.

Hey, nice to meet you, Ava.

You ever get used to this?

Just waking up and looking out at this every day?

No.

That's the beautiful thing about the islands.

The ocean's always reshaping them.

And I like to think it does the same to us.

Either of you paddle board?

Not me.

Nope.

Well, my early morning class got canceled, so maybe today's the day we change that.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh, no.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh.

Okay.

Get back up again.

Now, feel the board before you stand.

Weight centered, feet apart.

Ava, maybe you should try this on the dock, just so you don't fall again, you know?

Mom, you're making me nervous.

Well, it's just your feet aren't really wide enough if you just...

Ugh.

Kiss his age.

I don't want anyone watching.

Ava, would you be okay if I, uh, took a hike?

You said it.

Okay.

Up again.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh.

Sorry.

I was just looking for the entrance to the, the hiking trail.

Oh.

Well, if you put down the map, you might see that it's, uh, right here.

Oh.

Uh.

Is that your to-do list?

Uh, yeah.

I, uh, taped it to my map.

Just kidding.

I'm relieved to hear that.

Well, I'm, uh, headed to Vanatua.

You're welcome to come along if you like.

Oh.

Is it far?

Ava's at a paddle boarding lesson.

Uh, no.

You should be back by the time it ends.

You sure you don't mind?

I don't mind at all.

Just one condition.

Oh.

You know, on second thought, there's a hat weaving demo in a lot of places.

The condition is, is that we leave right now.

Oh.

Okay.

Wait up!

Jungle hike to Vanatua on the resort's calendar.

Well, that's, that's cause it's not on the resort's calendar.

Today's, uh, today's my day off.

Well, aw, you should've told me.

I'm sure you don't want to sherpa around some guest on your day off.

Well, then don't act like a guest.

We should be fine.

All right.

What is a guest act like?

Well, they're all different.

But they all have one thing in common.

An agenda.

Even if that agenda is to come here and relax,

they want to measure and check boxes and lists.

Ah, yes.

Well, lists can be useful.

Yeah.

At a supermarket, maybe.

Look, there's a lot to be said about just spontaneity.

You know, that feeling of not knowing what's going to happen.

Yeah.

Work with me in the ER for a week.

Oh.

You're a doctor.

Yeah.

You'll find that not knowing what's going to happen isn't always cracked up to be.

Okay.

That's true.

But if you plan too much, then you just never get to experience wonder.

Hmm.

Wonder.

You've got this.

Remember, you're in control.

Big circle around the lagoon, okay?

Okay.

She's up already?

This got to be a record.

Huh.

This one didn't need to get up.

She just needed to know that the world keeps spinning, even if she fell.

Well, looks like she got a good dose of that, too.

You got a gift, Lani.

You just know what people need.

Well, is that why you married me?

To build a couple?

No.

I married you because of your secret honey cake research.

Oh.

Hey, I heard Frigates is ten-foot.

You want to grab the boys and catch a few?

Oh, I'd love to, but I've got two more lessons after this.

I wonder if Will's keen.

Oh, sure.

He just head over to Vanatua.

Oh, I bet I can catch up with him.

He might be game.

I might hold off.

Mellie told me that she saw Jessica, Ava's mom, join him on his hike.

The lady from Villa 16?

Mm-hmm.

Oh, on his day off?

Uh-huh.

Ooh.

Will might be breaking his golden rule.

Well, as you know, this island, anything is possible.

So,

uh, in the interest of not knowing what's going

to happen, I'm not going to ask where we're going.

However, if you're so inclined to give me a hint, now would be a great time.

How's this for a hint?

I don't

know what kind of microbes are in there.

A

little investigation!

No microbes!

Okay.

I'll go on up to my knees.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Keep going.

Be careful over there because the rocks, uh, can get a little off.

Whoa!

Are you all right?

Yes.

Check out the waterfall.

Okay.

Don't say I didn't warn you.

There's a lot more microbes over that way.

Okay.

I will say this again.

That hike was pretty amazing.

Thank you for working on your day off.

That did not feel like work at all.

And for not treating me like a guest.

Well, thanks for not asking.

Excellent.

Where's that list by the way?

Oh, and I forgot this.

Isn't there some sort of island tradition?

Which side do you put that on?

Yeah, but it's kind of old-fashioned.

I mean, I'm sure you don't want to... Try me.

Okay, well, right side means that you're available,

and left side means that your heart is taken.

Thank you.

Good to know.

Jessica.

Hi.

Hi.

Oh, if you don't mind, I went ahead and booked the three

of us into horseback riding tomorrow morning at the beach.

Oh, that sounds great.

I think Ava will be thrilled.

I see paddle boarding was a big success.

Yeah.

From the looks of it, I'd say she'll try it again.

Great.

So how was your morning?

It was full of surprises.

Yeah, one of the owners took me up to a waterfall.

Waterfall?

I'd sign up for that.

I don't think it was on the menu.

Oh.

Actually, speaking of menus, I'd love to take you and Ava to dinner at some point.

Oh, yeah.

I just have to check with the chief.

Great.

That was a nice touch.

Oh.

Oh.

Hmm.

What's that for?

That's your collection.

I'll see you in the morning.

Okay.

I think I had supposed to meet her this year, so... Jessica.

Oh.

Hey.

Hey.

I didn't know you were riding today.

Yeah.

Will showed me around yesterday.

Will you remember Ava?

Of course.

How's that hammock working out?

Well, let's just say it's hard to get her to sleep inside the room.

That is what it's there for.

So, Ava, you ever ridden a horse before?

Nope.

No problem.

How about you guys?

It's been a few years.

More enthusiasm than skill.

Well, for starters, you need to talk to your horse a little bit.

Talk to the horse?

Yeah.

Yeah.

So they get to know your voice.

So that way, on the ride, if you need to correct

them, you're the voice of a friend, not of a stranger.

All right?

Now, this beauty right here, this is Mejina.

She was born right here on the property, and I trained her myself.

She's going to be yours today, Ava.

You want to come say hi?

Hi, Mejina.

I'm Ava.

I think we're going to be friends.

I think she likes you.

Now, Jessica, you're going to be with Vosa.

Vosa?

Vosa?

What does that mean?

Sweet?

Trouble.

She's always stopping for treats.

Just like you, Mom.

Oh, yeah.

Guilty.

See?

She understands.

Trevor, are you driving us?

Absolutely, yeah.

Sorry.

Oh, man.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Careful, please.

So stupid.

Is there a clinic here?

Dr. Chaudry is about 20 minutes down the road.

There's no need.

We've got a doctor right here.

Is there an emergency first aid kit?

Yeah.

Lonnie does it in the main kitchen.

Careful, please.

Actually, where's my phone?

Here.

Looks like it's one piece.

Could you check my last message?

Run full labs in the control group.

Could you add by the end of the day and just press send?

You don't want to say anything about being on vacation?

Either.

All right.

Either doctors are never truly on vacation.

All right.

All right.

Stitch or two should fix you right up.

Dr. Copeland.

I'm Lonnie, one of the owners.

How are you doing?

Well, my pride took a bit of a tumble, but Dr. Martini seems to be ratcheting me up.

Jessica, I can't tell you how much I appreciate this.

We've been trying to hire a doctor, and it's taking longer than we'd expected.

Please let me know if you need anything.

Thanks.

All right.

Your phone is blowing up.

Is everything okay?

It's just case study.

My assistant needs covering for me.

I should probably call him back.

All right.

Well, go ahead.

Sorry.

I'll catch up with you a bit later.

Okay.

Where's he going?

Oh, work thing.

Oh, well, I mean, if he's tied up, I can

still take you and Ava for a ride if you want.

Oh, thanks.

I should probably wait for him.

Of course.

Yeah.

So, you two work together?

No, we actually just met yesterday.

Oh.

Yeah.

Well, this place is known for bringing people together.

Hmm.

It's part of why people come back here.

Maybe it's even why you came back.

Hmm.

Ava and I came back to keep a promise and hopefully achieve maravu.

But, um, I have a list and this was not on the list, so

I should probably revise it or else I'll never achieve.

Maravu.

All right.

Well, good luck.

Thanks.

Thanks for this.

Hmm.

Hmm.

Hmm.

Do you know if they have paddleboard lessons back home?

Uh, you might need a wetsuit, but we can probably arrange something.

I'm so proud of you.

Getting up after just one lesson?

Well, Alani is not like any teacher I've ever had.

She's, uh, she's pretty hands-off, but somehow she...

I'll let you figure it out on your own.

I noticed.

Hmm.

Peter, I see a lot of new items on the smoothie menu.

Yep.

We've got pineapple, fresh coconut, pawpaw, and, uh, lilikoi.

Lilikoi.

Oh.

Oh, I'm, I'm sorry.

Uh, I'm gonna go sit by the pool.

I'll bring our smoothies out.

No way.

Something, uh, catch your eye, Peter?

You want my professional opinion as a doctor?

You've fallen hard.

Well, doctors are bound by confidentiality, right?

We also give a lot of advice.

So, I've been working here for like two months.

And?

And our conversations are limited to, hi, bye,

boola, and that poor top needs more catching.

Hmm.

I may have a diagnosis.

You're talking about work too much.

I am.

Is that a big no-no?

Sometimes when you're trying to get to know someone, and you only show them that

one side of yourself, it makes it harder to see the real person.

Wait.

So what should I say?

Well, if I told you, then she wouldn't get a

chance to see who you really are, would she?

Oh, come on.

Let me know how it goes.

Ah, I see you've met Peter.

Isn't that obvious?

How's your doctor friend?

He's really okay.

He's almost 100%.

And I think he'll put his phone down next time he's around horses.

Oh, that's a relief.

Ah, I see you've found my favorite accessory.

Geez, yes, they're incredible.

They come in so many colors.

It's nice to have choices.

Yeah, I suppose it is.

I'm serious.

I'm gonna try every flavor Peter has before you leave.

Hopefully not all in the same smoothie.

Now there's an idea.

Hey, I need to tell you something.

Um...

When I was talking to Karen earlier, it wasn't just about the baby.

Oh?

I'm up for a new job.

Well, what kind of new job?

Attending physician.

I would be in charge of all the ER doctors.

So they'd be doing all the work?

Well, not exactly.

But you'd work less.

Well, it's actually more responsibility, so I... And more work.

It's a huge opportunity.

And so is having your own practice.

I haven't made any decisions yet.

I just...

I felt I should let you know.

Well, if that's where things are going, then I guess we're

just gonna have to make every second of this vacation count.

Hi!

Hello.

Would you like your photograph as a memento of this evening?

Yeah.

Sure.

Ava, is that the same camera you use?

I've seen you taking pictures.

This is the Canon 5D Mark III.

I have a D60.

Excellent choice.

Very versatile.

What lens are you using tonight?

My favorite is the 50, but I use the 85 for candid shots.

Yeah.

You'll be getting nervous when it gets close.

Well, Mally, how long have you worked here?

All my life.

My mom and dad own Unifico in Louisville.

It must be so cool living here.

It really is.

But it's also cool being a photographer here.

I'm leading a youth hike tomorrow.

You and your camera wanna come?

Tomorrow?

Sounds like a lot of fun, Ave.

But I won't know anyone.

Well, you won't at first, but you will by the end.

Uh, I'll think about it.

I'll see you tomorrow.

Hey, Alice, this is for Villa 16.

Can you add it to the breakfast orders for tomorrow?

Villa 16?

Isn't that that doctor?

What's her name?

Yeah, Jessica.

She seemed pretty cool.

All right, guys.

Okay.

We went on a hike.

It was no big deal.

No.

Not at all.

Although that's a fairly romantic hike, don't you think, Lauren?

Yeah.

Depends on the company.

On second thought, I think I'll go enjoy this in my cottage alone.

Okay.

All right.

She's not your average guest.

And, yes, spending time with her, it's been easy for me to forget the three

little words that have kept me out of heaps of trouble.

Three little words?

No dating guests.

And with that, I bid you good night.

Good night.

Mm-hmm.

I'll be back in a sec.

Ava, I think you'll be proud of me.

You threw away your list?

No.

But I am going to go on a date with my dad.

He revised it to give us more flexibility.

The more I think about it, the more I think.

I need to give us some time for spontaneity, time to...

What's this?

Uh, my 65-mil macro, my telephoto, and my... No, I know what it is.

I mean, why are you packing it?

Who was it who was just talking about spontaneity?

I don't know.

I...

I woke up thinking about Dad and how much we talk about the island and thought,

I thought, maybe I should actually go on that hike.

For him.

And for you.

Just think of the flowers and the birds.

Mom, you don't have to oversell it.

I'm going, okay?

Mellie!

Hi!

Is it too late for Ava to join you?

Not at all!

I packed an extra snack in case you change your mind.

You're gonna be okay without me?

You'll be back before lunch.

Well, I just don't want you to be bored, you know, sitting around waiting for me.

Don't worry about me.

Don't call or text or Skype the hospital while I'm gone.

Go do something fun.

Promise.

Sunshine.

Fresh air.

Decompressing.

Unplugging.

Go have a great time.

Hi.

Where did you get all these knots in your mane, young lady?

What have you been up to, huh?

Thinking they work extra hard?

Well, this is what they mean by horse whispering.

Hey.

Now, I wouldn't pretend to have that kind of

power over any creature, horse or otherwise.

Do you think she's, uh, up for a ride?

Well, that depends on who's asking.

Well, no one.

Just, uh, maybe a guest you, uh, might have mentioned a makeup lesson to?

I'm a man of my word, but, uh, she can be a little unpredictable.

Well, then she sounds perfect.

Is this a lesson in riding or in spontaneity?

Maybe a little of both.

Yeah?

Well, when's the next opening in your schedule?

I don't know.

Now-ish?

Is that your list?

Hey, at least it's not taped to my map.

That's true.

You're making progress.

Okay.

That's good.

Ready?

Yes.

Okay.

Come on.

Come on.

Are you ready?

Look at that.

You're doing great.

Yeah.

Just ride with a looser hand.

Yeah.

Okay.

Well, not going that loose.

Most people really hold on tight because, uh, they're afraid.

But... A free rein lets her know that you trust her.

Okay.

Okay?

All right.

Want to get her going?

Yeah.

There you go.

Oh, that worked.

Nice.

How long have you been riding?

Oh, man.

Since I was a kid, I grew up next to a horse farm in Tennessee.

Oh, this is a long way from Tennessee.

Yeah.

I went to college in San Diego and got into surfing, came

out here for a contest, and then kind of lost my ticket home.

I bet it's a little more complicated than that.

True.

Well, when I met Danny and Lonnie, just everything changed.

I mean, we realized we had the chance to turn the wheel.

We had to turn this place into a kind of resort

where we could work every day and never look back.

Now, how about you?

You had your honeymoon here.

Yeah.

I did my last year of college here on the island,

met another student, and I went home a married woman.

Ah.

So you got a little practice with spontaneity.

Yeah.

At a time when it was a lot easier to be spontaneous.

Yeah.

I went back to the States.

Greg got a great job.

I got into med school, and we had Ava.

Anyway, dreams deferred.

I don't know.

You've got a job where you get to help people.

You've got a daughter who absolutely adores you.

Doesn't sound like you deferred anyone.

Do you have kids?

I thought I would.

I was married for a couple of years once, but like you said, dreams deferred.

So, you do have some regrets?

Not about living here.

And do you never think about going home?

Oh, this is home.

I could get used to this.

I love you.

I'm glad to hear that.

Hey, what do you say for the ride home, we take it up a notch?

Uh, excuse me?

Yeah, come on, you got this.

Come on, come on, here we go.

Oh,

look at this one.

It's called a banana skipper.

Sometimes I find them in my yard.

It must be amazing living here.

Can't complain.

That's my mom.

Excuse me.

Can I see?

Yeah.

Ava, thank you for showing me those.

She usually deletes her pictures without letting me see.

I don't usually like them.

These are great, Ava.

In fact, there are a couple I'd like you to submit to the art show.

Really?

I got a photo-printer you can use.

Thanks, but not all those people looking at my work.

Admiring your work.

You don't know that, mom.

Hey, Ava, wanna hit the ice cream carts down by the infinity pool with me?

Yeah.

Oh, can I?

I didn't know if we had plans.

Oh, Trevor invited us to dinner.

To lunch.

To talk about his study?

I can't promise he won't, so I'll give him your

regrets and I'll find you down there later.

You're the best.

She's usually shy.

New situations aren't always easy for her.

I wouldn't have guessed that on the hike.

She was full of questions with tons of pictures.

That's music to my ears.

I hope you had a fun morning, too.

I did.

I went horseback riding.

The group lesson with my dad?

No, um, with Will.

I'm sorry I'm late.

One of the study sponsors called and I lost track of time.

No, you're on vacation.

You're supposed to lose track of time.

Where's Ava?

She made a new friend.

Well, if she was anything like her mom, I'm sure it comes easily to her.

So, what's the plan for the day?

Oh, to not have one.

Am I sensing an attitude adjustment, Dr. Martin?

Yeah, nothing quite that dramatic.

Just, uh... you know, a desire to be in the moment.

I don't blame you.

It's a great moment to be in.

Mellie here is helping mentor my daughter's photography career.

I wear a lot of hats at this resort.

Can I get you a drink?

Best question anyone's asked me all day.

Mellie, would you ask Peter what he suggests?

He always knows what ingredients are freshest.

Mm-hmm.

Is there something going on here I should know about?

Ah, just a little experiment.

Ah.

And the results?

It's too early to tell, but I may have successfully slowed down the service here.

And, you know, just like to help people.

Isn't that why we're doctors?

Honestly, I love the puzzle.

Solving the mystery.

Hmm, yeah.

And, you know, leaving people in a better place than where you found them.

Ah, that's the appeal of the ER.

Although I do hear a hint of family practitioner in your time.

Ah, yes.

The patient does present with conflicting symptoms, Doctor.

What do you suggest?

Ah, extensive follow-ups, personalized care.

Hmm.

You were right about it here.

I do feel different, and in a good way.

Well, I'm glad you like it here as much as I do.

But time's going by so fast, and I still haven't found my perfect picture.

Hmm.

You know, sometimes you go on vacation thinking you

need one thing, and you end up finding something else.

Not helping.

You'll find it, sweetheart.

Listen, I want you to know, if I end up taking

this job, we will still take trips like this.

You don't have to say that.

But I mean it.

I've realized that I often carry the stress of the

hospital home with me, and that's not fair to you.

And I could get used to chilling out a little more.

I see my journey of self-discovery has clearly put you to sleep.

Hmm?

Nothing.

You had some sleep.

I had a little too much iced tea.

I'm going to take a walk around the hotel, get some of this energy out.

Sounds like a plan.

Hey.

Peter.

Hey, you wouldn't happen to know where I could

get some chamomile tea this late at night?

Uh, there's still some folks in the kitchen who'd be happy to help you out.

So, I made some real progress with Nellie today, thanks to you.

I could even say I'm officially in the friend zone.

See?

Which leads me to my next question.

How do I get out of it?

Same way you got in.

Baby steps.

Baby steps.

Baby steps.

Come on.

You're not getting this until you tell us.

There's nothing to say.

Oh, come on.

Admit it.

Admit what?

That you were full on breaking your rule.

I don't know what you guys are talking about.

Jessica, I saw you at group ride today.

Group ride?

Looked to me like it was just you two.

Yeah, don't tell me that's not a date.

She came to the stables looking for a make-up session.

There's a big difference between going on a date with

somebody and then just spending a little time with them.

So you have no feelings for her?

What did he say last night?

Three words I live by.

No.

Dating.

Kiss.

First of all, that is not what I sound like.

Second of all, nothing escapes you two.

Absolutely nothing.

Oh, hi, Jessica.

Hey, um, you wouldn't happen to have any Kevin with you, would you?

Jessica.

Jessica.

Look, I, uh, I don't know exactly what you heard back there.

Will, uh, you don't have to explain.

It's fine.

No, no, I really would like to explain.

Please, I really just, just give me one minute.

One minute, I promise.

Okay.

Okay.

Um...

Uh...

So, uh, why are we here?

Best view in the house.

Uh, wow.

Uh, this deserves more than just a minute.

Yeah.

Pretty spectacular, right?

Yeah.

Wow.

You don't see stars like this in Portland, do you?

Hmm.

Wow.

Still doesn't distract me from, uh, from my curiosity, though.

No dating guests.

Seems like a pretty strict rule for a guy working in a resort.

Hmm.

Well, I call it a rule, but really it's more of a defense mechanism.

Hmm.

Sounds like you dated a guest?

Married one, actually.

It was a long time ago when the three of us first took

over this resort, um, and I thought we were in love.

But in retrospect, I think she was more in love with an idea that being here on this

island with me meant that her entire life was gonna be a vacation.

And then when reality set in, well, island paradise just wasn't enough.

I wasn't enough.

Hmm.

Well, I'm sorry.

Losing someone is tough.

It can, uh, close you down.

Make you get stuck in the past.

It's funny, though.

The last few days I have, uh, I've been more focused on the present.

Maybe even dabbled in the future.

Uh-oh.

Is your rule in danger of being broken?

Perhaps that is a sign that I shouldn't answer that.

It's my friend Karen.

She is pregnant.

I have to call her.

Oh.

Sure.

Oh, it's connecting.

Jess, thanks for calling.

Hey, of course.

What's going on?

Karen, it's so cool here.

I went paddle boarding and Mom went to a waterfall.

Karen, wait.

Is that a gown?

Are you okay?

Everything's fine.

Oh, ish.

What do you mean, fine-ish?

The baby's just a little further along than we thought.

Are you having the baby, like, right now?

Ava, honey, suffice it to say, you would know if that was happening.

How did the ultrasound go?

Well, he's a strong, healthy boy who might be here a little sooner than we thought.

How soon?

They want to induce Thursday night.

But David will barely be able to get back in time.

Which is why I want a second opinion.

David only has two weeks of leave time.

It would be a shame for him to spend them on a false alarm.

But Dr. Shapiro can't see me till Thursday morning.

Okay, well, let me know when you hear from him.

I want to be there, okay, Karen?

Me too, but down the hall, like you talked about.

I'll take either of you any way I can get you.

Now, I don't want to keep you any longer.

Go.

Enjoy your vacation.

Okay.

Love you.

You never said that you needed to see her snorkeling, but maybe I got the time wrong.

Uh...

What was it you were talking about?

Okay, we'll just go into the control group.

Go into the control group and adjust the p-values.

It's really simple how.

Okay, I gotta go.

Bye.

Ladies, I'm so sorry.

I'm gonna have to bail on snorkeling.

I got this, uh... Working.

Yeah, how'd you know?

Wild guess.

Yeah, uh, sorry.

Sure.

Thank you.

Come on, Ava.

We've got an ocean to explore.

Hey, Will.

Hi, you two.

Hey.

Jessica, how's your friend in Portland doing?

Oh, she's fine-ish, and her baby's getting impatient.

That's not bad news.

That's just babies.

Yeah.

We're going snorkeling.

I can hardly wait.

I see that.

I like your rig.

Now, if you want to get some great shots of clownfish and lots of other types of

fish, you gotta go to the soft coral reserve, okay?

It's beautiful.

Soft coral reserve?

Is that close?

Can you show us where it is?

Okay, now, Will's working.

I'm in charge of activities today.

Snorkeling is an activity.

You two are guests.

So, showing you guys the reef might just fit into my job description.

Let's do it.

Come on.

Okay.

We can go to our favorite place.

I can't wait to answer any questions.

Good night!

Good night, everyone.

I'm ready, buddy.

I'm ready, too.

Good night.

See you guys.

Oh, no.

Okay.

Oh, so, back to you.

You have a great time.

See you, babe.

Bye.

See you.

Bye.

Bye.

Bye.

Mom, we have to get a saltwater crayon when we get back.

Oh yeah, see I was thinking we could start with a fishbowl.

I don't know Jess, a fishbowl might not be big enough for this.

Well, Will just got you an upgrade.

I'm going to go put this up on the shore before I lose it.

Best open air ever!

Oh, don't tell me you found something else.

This hypothetical fish tank is going to fill my entire living room.

It's amazing to me how the ocean can take like a hunk

of rock and then tumble it into something so beautiful.

It looks like a heart.

People come here from all over the world and they all say they just feel different.

They feel freer, they feel more relaxed.

Dream bigger, you know?

Some people stay a week and they never leave.

The island definitely changes everyone.

I um, I hope the Yannicka Resort will always have a place in your heart.

Is that a jellyfish?

Okay, jellyfish season doesn't happen until about ten days after the full moon.

You're good.

Okay.

Yeah.

Then you could probably put me down then, huh?

I don't know.

There's got to be one or two stragglers, you know?

Hmm, stragglers.

Yeah.

They can be, they can be dangerous.

Uh-huh.

Mm-hmm.

I got you though.

I got you.

Here we go.

Ava, you ready?

Yeah.

Hey, why are you wearing your dress?

The big feast isn't until tomorrow.

I had something to dress up for.

I was actually wrapping this.

You didn't need to get me a gift.

I wanted to.

Okay.

Let's see.

Your butterfly.

Yeah, Santa would.

Got it in the gift shop.

Honey, I don't think there's anything that could make me more proud.

Anything?

Anything?

Nothing.

Hey,

I wear a Roberto.

Here is this.

Just like a mucho.

Just don't mess it up.

They'll check it out right away.

I need to do this over there.

Okay, back of you, reserves.

Okay.

All right.

Excuse me.

I think it's probably more Salvador's style.

Hey, don't chalk it all up to location.

I hear she's got a pretty incredible mom.

Mom, I sold one!

Congratulations!

You guys want one up for charades?

Yeah, that might be a better name for it.

Alright, shouldn't take long.

Trevor, Ava's work is in the art show.

Can this wait until later?

It'll just take a minute.

Okay.

I just wanted to apologize about the snorkeling trip and all the interruptions.

It's no problem at all.

What's this for?

Jessica, you deserve the best.

Something planned.

Not something just pulled off a tree.

I'm not sure I understand.

There's been a security breach at the university.

And my study data may have been compromised.

Oh, that's terrible.

Yeah, it's not something I can handle remotely.

So I head back tonight.

The thing is, I'm not ready to say goodbye to you.

San Francisco next month.

Trevor, I... And I know that it's last minute.

But it would be a great networking opportunity

and a chance for us to get to know each other.

Listen, I...

Trevor, look, I appreciate the offer.

But it's just not going to happen right now.

I wish you all the best.

And I'll keep an eye out for your next article.

Yeah.

There's my ride.

Okay, bye.

Bye.

And I hope you find what you're looking for.

Me too.

Waiting for the perfect wave feels like forever, doesn't it?

Even when it comes, it's a bit of a mystery.

Yeah, all you see is the beginning of the wave.

In a split second, you've got to make about a million snap decisions.

About how it's going to play out.

Did I take off too early?

Did I take off too late?

Is it strong enough to get me all the way to the shore?

Or will it pummel me so badly into the reef that I'll never surf again?

Oh, snap.

You got my metaphor.

Yeah, it wasn't super subtle, man.

Point is, you're on a beautiful wave.

Enjoy the ride.

What happens if someone else drops in on my wave?

The doctor guy.

He left last night.

He wasn't too happy.

Not that that's what you're talking about.

So, when you first moved here, did you have any idea how different it would be?

Well, moving here was actually easy.

It was going back home that was hard.

There's just something about the beauty and nature and physicality.

It's like living moment to moment, very alive.

Are you laughing at me, Ava Grace?

I just can't picture you without your daily

plan, your weekly plan, your five-year plan.

You sound like you miss it.

Yeah, maybe I'll move back here when I retire.

That's like a million years away.

Why would you wait till then?

You have to be realistic, you know?

I'm a doctor and a mom.

That's William Dan.

That doesn't look good.

What happened?

I got caught in the lip and went over the falls.

And that never happens.

Lucky for me, Will's sore and I'm sure he's already posted a video.

Do you hear this?

This is what I get for rescuing this guy.

Oh.

Rescue.

You cool down and rescue.

All right.

The good news is it's a textbook dislocation.

The bad news is it's a textbook dislocation,

which means it has to be relocated.

Oh, that's not the first time, and Dr. Chandra, he just pops it back in.

Yeah, Dr. Chandra, who lives 20 minutes down a very bumpy road.

Well, I'll sail for Dr. Martin if she's seeing patients, but... Oh, subtle, huh?

Ah, okay.

Okay.

Okay.

This won't hurt a bit.

The Melly?

Hmm.

We'll take a couple of those and a smoothie, please.

Yeah, I'm just curious.

What inspired the name?

Just a one-of-a-kind girl I've gotten to know lately.

Peter, that's very flattering.

It's not flattery.

It's the truth.

I'll make one.

You'll see.

There is this one problem.

I don't like coconut.

Oh.

Um, I can change the recipe.

To tell you the truth, I'm more of a beer person.

My favorite is from Venezuela Brewery.

You been there?

One in town?

You're not gonna throw them around here?

Who's got this?

I've heard of it.

What time do they close?

11.30.

I'll take you out to the Lobo tonight.

My treat.

You're on.

Looks like you've mastered my recipe.

A fresh, shiny cake says thanks for rescuing my husband.

I feel like you should have a time card here.

You're working too hard.

Okay, well, that shoulders a gollum about 13 seconds, but

getting a chance to cook with the master chef, that is the best.

Payment above and beyond.

Okay.

Let's see.

Ready?

Mm.

Mm.

Mm.

Mm.

I know, right?

I didn't think that could be any more delicious.

I try to serve them straight out of the oven, slows down the whole meal.

Hungry people are grumpy people.

Okay, thank you for sharing your secret with me.

Speaking of, um, mango plow cake?

Hey, we don't know where we shot with that.

Well...

Happy hour started early.

Hey, we've been working very hard.

If you're going to mock us, get out of my kitchen.

Honey cakes?

Yes, Lonnie shared her secret with me.

I took a blood oath and everything.

Oh, I don't believe it.

Well, there's a little evidence right here.

Oh.

Sugar.

Whoa.

Uh-huh.

It really happened.

Yep.

Oh, my God.

Looks good.

Cut me a piece.

I'll have some.

Okay, come on.

You ready?

Okay.

You ready?

Yeah.

Okay, stop.

Let me be three at a time.

What's going on?

Is that what you called a means to be models?

I like you going at your own pace, like winning wins.

You learned that so quickly!

That was amazing!

Well, this whole thing was amazing.

I don't know how you guys put the show on every week.

This whole production is all Dani, Lani, and Melli, except for the recipe

tasting, because somebody's got to do that.

Yeah!

What do you think?

Yeah!

Wow!

I thought I couldn't like anything better than taro wrapped in banana leaves,

and then I had the pork wrapped in banana leaves.

Think about it, honey.

I think she meant the show.

Hey, I'll take that.

I didn't cook all of this, but they are my

recipes, and I don't shy away from a compliment.

Well, this is incredible, Lani.

No, you're incredible for all that you've done for us.

Who's going to patch everyone up when you leave?

Guys, I owe you an apology.

Normally, I do a spectacular solo dance.

Spectacular?

Yes, but with one arm, it's a far head.

Jessica, thank you for snapping me back into place literally.

Am I?

Are you feeling better?

Yeah, I've still got to, you know, take it easy over the week.

Did you talk to Lani?

About what?

About your Dr. Boers.

You know, I can't do any cooking, or cleaning, or

errand running, or shopping, or working, or accounting.

Where is this coming from?

Oh, this is nothing, Jessica.

He needs bed rest when he stubs his toe.

Well, I'm glad I could help.

It only cost Lani her most secret recipe.

Well, Jessica took off to take it to her grave.

Honestly, we're so used to having you guys around, don't

be surprised if your flights are accidentally cancelled.

Well, don't be surprised if I don't bat an eye.

I actually wish that we could stay here.

You know, we've been interviewing doctors this week, and there's only one thing we

can agree upon, is that we wish they were more like you.

Well, that almost sounds like a formal job offer.

Do you want it to be?

Mom, if we could stay here, we could... Honey, moving is a big deal.

Moving out of the country is a really big deal.

I'm sorry.

You really mean to push it.

But we're serious.

You guys are part of the family, and we don't say that every day.

Well, a serious offer requires some serious love.

But hopefully after I wake up from my food coma, I guess.

Little announcement.

As part of our evening festivities, we've scheduled

a viewing of Blue Crush in the outdoor theater.

Anyone?

Go ahead.

I'll catch up with you later.

Is

it the firelight?

The moon?

The music?

The company?

Wish I could just bottle this night so I could have it forever.

The good times get us through the tough times.

Well, if that's the case, then I should stock up on a bunch before I go home.

Is it that chaotic?

My best friend is having a baby.

For the biggest job of my life, I work 60 hours a week.

No, things are completely under control.

Is there a way that you could maybe take it down a notch?

Yeah, I tried that before I left.

Opening up a private practice.

I thought it would give me time to focus on what's important.

But then I found out that I might be...

up for attending physician, which would be a huge promotion.

Well, there isn't anything wrong with ambition as

long as you're going after what you really want.

What I really want is for me and Ava to be happy...

with each other and ourselves.

I just hope I can do that and still be attending.

After what I've seen in the last few days, I have no doubt.

Hmm.

No doubt in my medical abilities?

Or my, uh, decision-making?

Both, actually.

Just follow your heart.

Everything will work out for the best.

Okay?

Well, here we are again.

Should I go out on a limb and call this our spot?

Hear ye, hear ye, I now christen you Alice.

Oh, come on, Will.

Not getting sad.

I know, I know.

I guess we're both planners in our own way.

It is the truth.

What do I do, Will?

I want to stop deferring my dreams.

Find Maravu.

Hmm.

Be spontaneous.

Be responsible at the same time.

Hmm.

Ah.

My dream is to be here on this island.

But everything I've built is a continent away.

Hey, no making decisions on vacation.

I'm just going to worry about being right here, right now.

Me and you.

Well, one of things decided.

However much time I have left here, I want to spend it with you.

Jessica!

Jessica!

What is it, Mellie?

We got a call at the front desk.

Someone named Karen?

You have to call her right away.

Sorry.

Karen!

I'm sorry to ask them to chase you down.

But you made me promise.

Don't even think about it.

What did Dr. Shapiro say?

I believe her words were, you're in early labor.

What?

Don't worry.

My water hasn't broken yet.

We still have plenty of time.

But she thought it would be better if I stayed in the hospital until, you know.

And David?

David?

He's waiting for a connecting flight in Dubai.

Okay.

Well, if I leave here soon, I'll get there in time.

I just don't want you to worry, okay?

Thanks for being there.

Well, I won't be if I don't start packing.

But your vacation... Hey, we made a promise to be there, and we're keeping it.

Be strong.

We'll be there soon.

Thanks.

Mellie, not good at saying goodbye.

So it's not so.

Bye, Sotopadi.

Till we meet again.

There you go.

Bye.

Bye.

So I'm still sad.

Me too.

You know where we are.

Remember.

Always welcome.

I just need one minute.

Be right back.

Okay.

Hey.

Hey.

You know, the funny thing is, I was trying to figure

out how Eva and I could stay here a little longer.

A little pause... and we are back.

Mom, we have to go.

Martin!

Oh, how's Karen?

She's about to have a baby.

Ah!

Ah, Dr. Bailey!

Jessica!

If I could have a word.

Yeah, I know what you're asking.

And the answer is yes.

Yes?

Clearly.

Yeah, absolutely.

Right in my suitcase.

Uh, I think we're talking about two different things.

We're not talking about honey cakes?

Well, it's sweet of you to remember, but I was talking about attending a position.

Oh.

You didn't get my email.

Uh, to tell you the truth, I'm a little behind on emails.

But, um, can we talk about it after this?

Please go.

And send her my best.

Yeah, we'll do.

Oh, Karen.

He's a dream.

Mom, send this to Karen.

Come on.

Say, baby.

Baby.

Hi.

How many are you taking?

I want you to have plenty of good shots to send your husband.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh.

Snoring.

All right.

I don't know if that will be necessary.

Hi, David.

David.

Here he is.

Just in time for the first diaper change.

Can we go back in soon?

I wanna find out what they named him.

Ava, honey, this is a special time.

We need to give him some space.

Ah, yeah, and all the rushing to get out of there last night.

I'm not sure.

Did you get your perfect picture?

Mom, I had a perfect time.

Time.

That's what's important.

But I guess I do have a favorite.

Ah, was it the one on the hike?

Oh wait, the clownfish in the sea anemone.

This one?

Will you set the timer?

Yeah.

Yeah, that is a good one.

Jessica, how's Karen doing?

Beautifully.

Yeah, her baby's huge.

Perfect, but huge.

We're just giving them some space.

So would now be a good time to discuss the position?

Uh, yeah, just give me a minute.

Uh, Will asked me to give you this when we got back here.

Yeah, I'm sure.

Excuse me, is that doctor position being filled?

Yeah.

You're back!

Jessica!

What?

What are you doing here?

Your friend's baby.

Yeah, he's healthy and beautiful and her husband was with her.

What about the job?

I turned it down.

Why?

Because it wasn't the kind of medicine I wanted to practice.

And, um, a wise friend told me that I should follow my heart.

Is that how it went down?

Yeah, and I heard this resort in Fiji is looking for me.

Did you?

Yeah, um, but I have some questions, like, uh, what's a benefits package?

What are you looking for?

Horseback riding lessons.

Done.

Occasional long walks on the beach.

Not a problem.

And, uh, Ava wants to learn how to surf.

Yes, ma'am.

So, Ava's on board?

She never wanted to leave.

I realized I didn't either.

These islands...

They will change you.
