Using warm ivory in the living room accented by bright wallpaper to reflect

the natural light of the room's southern exposure.

The color of the walls in the master bedroom are what I call sweet dreams blue,

which also happens to be our client's favorite color.

Using white accents and a variety of textures...

Using white accents with a variety of textures, mixing slick, soft, and rough,

we create a dynamic palette.

Grouping collections together throughout the house...

One of those is for me.

Hey!

Good morning.

She's here.

Already?

Unloaded for bear.

All set for your big presentation?

As pretty as I will ever be.

You'll be fine, Rose.

This is Carolyn Sebastian we are talking about.

Fine is never good enough.

Then you're gonna be great.

Thank you.

Throughout the house, grouping collections ensures a mix of levels and shapes...

that increase the visual impact of the new design.

In the living room, we will have warm ivories accented by bright wallpaper...

to reflect the natural light of the room's southern exposure.

In the guest bedroom, the mix is more about pattern than collection.

We take a pivotal floral fabric...

and then blend that with other florals of different scales...

but from the same color family.

In the end, the new design...

will give the Tannenhill home a feeling of warmth...

through color, texture, and dimension.

Thank you.

Any questions?

Thank you, Rose.

That was very informative.

Informative?

I mean, what does that even mean?

It means she liked it.

She didn't like it.

She didn't hate it.

That's a real confidence booster.

Oh, come on, Rose.

You've been working with Carolyn for three years now...

ever since you got her to design school.

And you know as well as I do...

that she's got a poker face that could put a casino out of business.

Yeah, but this is different.

The Tannenhill house is the biggest design project that I have ever had.

I mean, this could be my Mona Lisa.

My Venus de Milo.

My Abbey Road.

Abbey Road?

The point is... that I think I could really just knock this out of the park.

Let's just wait and see, okay?

What were you gonna say?

What?

Nothing.

I'm not talking to Rob, my boyfriend.

I'm talking to Rob, my colleague...

who has never pulled punches with my career.

Tell me.

Okay, look.

The only suggestion I would make is to...

maybe throttle back a little on all the flowers.

What?

And the grip.

Look, personally, I think it's fine.

And I know how much you love flowers.

I mean, with your family's lily farm.

Tulip.

Tulip farm.

Lilies require an entirely different soil composition.

And with the cool nights up in Washington, they would never...

Just maybe try and say it without all the flowers next time.

Really?

But I meant what I said.

You never know with Carolyn.

Just wait and see.

I thought I'd show you the sunlight that you mentioned in your presentation.

You've never been here before.

No.

Well, by your presentation, you sounded as if you

knew every square inch of this house by heart.

I studied the pictures a lot and kind of...

fantasized.

And now that you're here, what do you think?

It's...

nice.

Nice?

Rose, if you truly want to be a designer, you're

going to have to be far more descriptive than nice.

Uh, well, the natural light makes it feel very...

warm.

Inviting.

But the...

emptiness makes the room feel...

hollow.

Without purpose.

Incomplete.

The Tannenhills bought this house before they went to Paris.

And they will be back at the end of the month.

And the house has to be ready by the time they get back.

Ready?

You start now.

Look around.

Absorb.

Digest.

Come to my office.

Wait, Carolyn, are you... Am I...

actually doing the interior design of this house?

Unless you don't feel you're ready.

No.

I mean... I mean, yes.

I am so... ready.

Then come to my office in the morning.

Bring your new ideas.

And I will finalize my choices then.

But I...

What about my presentation?

Rose.

You have a vivid imagination.

That is why I'm giving you this opportunity.

Thank you.

But the Tannenhills are my oldest, most discerning clients and very dear friends.

You didn't think that I was going to let you make all these choices by yourself.

Right.

Oh, and Rose, one more thing.

It is very important for me, personally, that

the Tannenhills are thrilled with the results.

You do this right, and you have a very bright future at my company.

You do it wrong.

Understood.

Thrilled.

Absolutely.

You still at it?

I have to get these designs to Carolyn in the morning.

And the Tannenhills have to be thrilled, or my next job

will be designing a doghouse for a discerning retriever.

So, I take it dinner's off?

Oh.

I am so sorry.

I completely forgot.

I'll take a rain check.

Do you want me to stick around?

Give you a hand?

Yeah.

Okay.

You just be a distraction.

Normally, I would love to be a distraction, but

in this case, I better let you get back to work.

Call you later?

Better.

Hey, Mom.

Hey, sweetheart.

How are you?

I'm good.

I'm sorry I haven't had a chance to call you back.

I've just been exhausted.

Wait.

Are you still at work?

Yeah.

But, Mom, it's fine.

I'm actually working on this really cool project that might be a big step for me.

Is everything okay?

Yeah.

Well, sure.

You know what it's like around here this time of year?

Waiting for the tulips to come in, taking orders.

Pretty busy, as I recall.

But I did finally talk your father into hiring a new operations manager.

Oh.

Well, that's good.

Maybe he'll start to delegate some of the work for a change.

Well, he never had any problem delegating work when you were here.

Mom.

Fine.

If you two are too stubborn to even talk to each other...

But, Mom, there's nothing to even talk about.

Why don't you think about coming home for a few days?

And you and Dad could work the tulips together like you used to?

Look, even if I wanted to come home right now, I couldn't.

I understand.

It was just a thought.

Don't work too late.

I love you.

I love you, too, honey.

Okay.

We'll see you at the dining room.

This goes

on the dining room table.

And if you guys could just make sure the clothes

go with the table in there, that would be great.

All right.

Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no!

What's the beat?

What's the beat?

Okay, phew, we just did that.

I need those shutters here by Monday, all right?

I have my wallpaper guy coming on Tuesday,

and he cannot start until the shutters are in.

Okay, here we go.

All right, look, I can have them start in the bedroom first, but I need those

shutters here Tuesday morning at the latest.

Uh, all right, all right.

Um, you're out.

Thank you.

Bye.

He was working on the roof, and he fell.

Broke his leg.

What?

Is he all right?

Well, he will be.

Thank goodness.

But he's going to be in a cast for a couple of weeks.

We were just lucky that his broker was with him.

Since when did you guys start working with a broker?

Since we haven't been able to keep up with everything ourselves.

But Dad always said that brokers are just slimy middlemen out to cheat you.

I'm sorry, I am completely off point.

Where is Dad right now?

He's at the hospital.

The doctor said he was in the hospital.

He said he should be able to come home tomorrow.

With his leg in his cast and the tulips ready to bloom?

We'll manage, Rose.

How?

Dad's out of action.

You can't take care of him and run the farm.

Not to mention the tulips aren't going to harvest themselves.

You just keep focused on your work, honey.

Mom!

Listen, I've got to get back to the hospital.

I'll call you later.

I love you.

I love you, too.

Two weeks?

Two weeks.

They need me, Carolyn.

The tulips are ready to be shipped to the retailers.

What about the Tannenhills?

The house is really coming along.

And I can do all the rest of my work from my computer.

Phone calls, emails, everything.

But you won't be there.

Correct.

But I can ask Rob to check in and make sure that everything is running smoothly.

And we can Skype, discuss everything.

It's totally doable.

I can really, I can handle this, Carolyn.

And in an emergency, you are on the first plane back.

Carolyn Designs must be the priority.

Absolutely it is.

Thank you.

You must be Rose.

What were you doing up there?

You could have broken your neck.

I was doing just fine until you stuck your head out the window.

Well, I wasn't expecting to find some stranger up on my parents' roof.

I work with your folks.

Tom.

Novak.

Nice to meet you.

Rose.

Newell.

I know.

Your parents are really looking forward to you being home.

Not in equal measure, I'm sure.

Where are they?

On their way back from the hospital.

Oh.

And I'm sorry, why exactly were you up on the roof?

Well, when your dad fell, he pulled down part of the gutter.

I was putting it back up.

Oh.

Well, I'm going to go check out the tulips.

I'll give you a ride.

Yeah.

I can walk.

Not in those boots.

So when's the last time you were home?

After I finished school.

Three years.

That's a long time.

It's a long story.

And what are those?

Yeah, they've been gone a long time.

Those are called hot houses.

I know what a hot house is.

What are they doing out here?

Frank put them in last year.

He didn't tell you?

My father and I haven't exactly had a lot to

say to each other since I moved to Los Angeles.

He might have mentioned that.

You talk to my parents about me?

No, we just talk in general.

You are a part of their lives, so you are a part of the conversation.

Oh.

The only person my mom has talked to me about is some slimy new broker they hired.

Slimy?

Yeah.

Well, my words, not hers, but come on.

Brokers are basically salesmen, and salesmen are all... Slimy, yeah.

Exactly.

Where is everybody?

Cruise starts tomorrow.

Tomorrow?

But the tulips are ready now.

They're practically jumping out of the ground.

This is your responsibility.

Excuse me?

As operations manager, you're supposed to stay on top of this.

Oh look, there's the car.

Okay, I should probably clarify one thing.

Hey!

Oh my gosh.

Oh my gosh.

Honey, you look great.

Oh, thanks mom.

So do you.

Thanks.

Hi, Tom.

Hey, Sarah.

Sorry we weren't home.

Took longer at the hospital than we expected.

How's dad?

Why don't you ask him yourself?

The prodigal Newell returns.

Hey, dad.

How are you feeling?

I'm okay.

You didn't have to come all this way.

I've still got one good leg.

Well, I thought you could use the help.

No.

Aren't they going to miss you back in Los Angeles?

Play nice.

And she's right, Frank.

We do need the help around here.

I'll figure something out.

He took a nasty fall.

Would have been a whole lot worse if Tom hadn't been here.

Just glad I could help.

Wait, I thought you said dad was with a broker when he fell.

Tom is our broker.

But you can call me Mr. Slimy.

Trucks will be here at 6 a.m.

sharp.

See you then.

See you.

Bye.

Bye.

I don't get it.

The whole time I was growing up, you were like, no brokers.

They're just sneaky businessmen out to cheat you.

We didn't make this decision lightly.

There were a lot of factors that your father

and I... The point is Tom's different.

He's local.

He works with a lot of farms in the valley

and he grew up with flowers just like you did.

Except I'm not out to make a big profit by marking up prices.

But you did decide to run off to Los Angeles

instead of helping with a family farm.

I didn't run off to Los Angeles.

I told you.

I wanted my own career.

Rose, honey, I'm glad you're home.

We both are.

I'm so happy and gratified to be back here at the family farm at this most crucial...

Too dramatic.

At this most... At this most... At this most awesome... Awesome.

It's too complicated.

At the most... Ah, California..

At this most... At this most... Wonderful.

At this most... Wonderful time in the season.

I am so happy and gratified to be back here...

I am so happy and...

I am so excited to be here on this...

Morning.

Morning.

I think I am probably the only person you know that doesn't drink coffee.

Earl grey.

Milk, no sweetener.

Your mom told me.

Thanks.

Welcome.

Thank you.

Where's Frank?

I haven't seen him this morning.

I think my mom's probably keeping him off his feet.

Smart.

It was a scary fall he took.

You're really Johnny on the spot, aren't you?

What?

You were there for my dad in an emergency.

You fixed the gutter.

My tea.

Don't be charming.

Seriously.

It's not gonna work on me.

I may be from here, but I've been to the circus.

I've seen the elephants.

It's a metaphor, right?

It means.

I'm here to take care of business for my folks.

While I'm handling paperwork, if you try to raise your percentage up even one tenth

of a point, you will no longer be their broker.

Good to know.

Great boots, by the way.

Aww.

Rose, this is Billy Chambers.

He's the new operations manager.

Billy, nice to meet you.

Thank you so much for getting this crew together and for renting the trucks.

No problem.

It's my job.

Morning, everybody.

It's not our first rodeo, so everyone knows we've got a long day ahead of us.

Excuse me, Tom.

Can I talk to you for a second?

Yeah.

What are you doing?

Just getting everyone ready to go.

You're our flower broker.

Technically, you don't work for us.

And since I am in charge, I thought I should be the one to kick things off.

See?

I have diagrams.

Yes, you do.

Sure.

All yours.

Hi.

I am so excited and gratified to be here.

Some of you may know, tulips were first brought

here from Holland at the end of the 19th century.

But by the 1920s, local tulip farmers had planted hundreds of

acres of flowers that would become the foundation for what is...

Sorry, folks.

I should have made the introductions.

This is Rose Newell, Frank and Sarah's daughter.

And she's going to let us know how today's going to go.

So let's listen up.

Thank you, Tom.

I am Rose, and I brought diagrams.

So why don't you just pass these around and you

can take a look and see how the day is going to go.

Here we go, everybody.

I'm so excited to see what happens today.

Where's lunch?

I don't see lunch on here.

What about breaks?

Can we get breaks?

Lunch is at noon.

Take breaks when you need them.

As long as you don't take advantage, Donald.

Maybe you should just go for it.

You sure?

All right.

So, thank you, Rose.

As I was saying, long day.

You all know the drill.

That's it.

Did you get it?

How are you holding up?

Great.

Fine.

Yeah.

Hey, I just wanted to say thanks.

This is the smoothest I've seen one of these things go.

Well, no thanks to me.

You saw it.

My speech.

Totally flopped.

No, your speech was...

really bad.

But I don't... I didn't mean the speech.

I meant the way you pitched in.

A lot of people in your position, they wouldn't want to get their hands dirty.

But you, once you got started, you were a machine.

Stop.

These people, they'll see that.

They appreciate it.

This was always my favorite time of year.

Replanting the tulips.

And getting them ready to go out.

It always gave me this feeling that year after year, all over the world,

people were really enjoying our beautiful...

flowers.

You got a real talent for it.

What is he doing?

Dad, shouldn't you be resting?

I told him.

I'm not completely helpless.

I can still get around.

How are the tulips coming?

Right on schedule.

We'll start in there after lunch.

Uh, don't worry about that.

That's something else.

Dad, what are you talking about?

Frank, you didn't tell her?

I didn't think she'd be interested.

Tell me what.

Newel Farms is an official entry in the Valley Tulip Festival competition.

But I thought you entered the tulip competition every year.

Tom here has pulled some strings.

And our entry is also going to be considered for a national competition.

We're going to pick the ten best tulips from all across the country.

Dad, that's great!

No, he hasn't told you the best part.

Every year they pick a new flower and then they promote

the winner as part of the America the Beautiful campaign.

Cool.

It's going to make a big splash.

People all over the country will know about Newel

Farms and things could get a lot busier around here.

And your father has created a brand new hybrid tulip just for the occasion.

So that's why you built the hot house.

To keep the new hybrid isolated.

You haven't grown a new hybrid tulip since I was...

It's been a while.

Can I see it?

Plenty of time for that later.

You two still got a lot of tulips to get in.

Is that?

Violet Mason.

Hi Frank.

Violet.

Looks like Mason Farms is doing pretty well.

I brought you lunch.

I already ate.

Oh well this is real food.

Not a sandwich.

Hey Violet.

Oh my gosh Rose.

You two know each other?

Yeah.

Violet and I went to grade school together.

We haven't seen each other since Violet went to boarding school.

And you went off to L.A.

Looks like neither one of us could keep away.

I'm actually not staying.

Oh.

I am.

Tom would you walk me to my car?

I should get back to work.

Take a minute.

I'll be right back.

See ya.

Dad?

Mom?

What's going on in here?

What's the big mystery?

What happened?

I have no idea.

Have you thought about my offer?

I've been really busy.

Well it can't even work for me.

I'll have to do this again.

I like what I do.

Tom.

You're a middle man in a very unpredictable business.

One bad season.

One bad decision.

And you could be out of a job overnight.

I don't want to see that happen to you.

Just promise me you'll think about it.

I'll think about it.

I don't understand.

This should be much further along than they are right now.

We looked at every possible variable.

Temperature.

Light.

Soil.

Everything's exactly the way it should be.

Something's obviously off.

Well, feel free to figure it out while you're here.

How long until you have to have a tulip ready for the competition?

Two weeks.

There's still a chance that they could bloom in time, right?

Look, whatever the problem is, you'll figure it out eventually.

And you'll have a tulip ready for next year's competition.

I need that competition I told you about.

Well, it's a one-time thing.

There is no next year.

Not to mention Tom has pulled a lot of strings to get us entered.

It's his reputation, too.

Then you need to tell him.

Let him see what's going on.

I'm sure Tom will understand.

Understand what?

There's a problem.

Maybe it's a hothouse.

What about the joints?

They sealed up tight?

Who even ordered that place with a fine-tooth comb?

It isn't a hothouse.

It's the temperature, the amount of light.

Billy's been on top of it since I told him about the hybrid.

He keeps the temperature steady.

He makes sure the light's consistent.

He's a terrific operations manager.

Well, if Newell Farms doesn't have a tulip ready for that competition, the

committee's going to give the slot to somebody else.

I'm sorry.

I mean, granted, this whole thing sounds great, but, I mean, if it doesn't happen,

it's not the end of the world, right?

This isn't just about getting picked, is it?

What are you not telling me?

We're a family farm, Rose.

Small potatoes compared to those big outfits with thousands of acres.

We've always managed, but lately, it's gotten a lot tougher.

Tom came up with this idea as a way to help keep business coming in.

Why didn't you tell me?

You left.

You said you were done with this farm.

For good.

Look, even if you figure this out and you fix it

in time, there's no guarantee that you can win.

And losing can't be good for business.

Yes and no.

You'd be surprised how well a runner-up can sell if you got the right broker.

Can you give us a week?

To try and figure out what's wrong and fix this?

A week.

After that, I'm going to have to let the committee know what's going on.

Thank you, Tom.

Alright.

Give us a week?

I meant New Wolf Farm.

In general.

Look, I'll take care of the business side.

You try and stay off that leg and figure out what's going on.

You should have told me.

What would you have done?

The lighting is pretty much done and the painters

are almost through in the screening room.

How soon can you have those carpets delivered?

What?

I'm sorry.

You okay?

Yeah.

I'm just tired.

Out of practice for this kind of work.

How are the folks?

Good.

My dad and I even called a temporary truce so we can focus on the problems here.

Such as?

Such as business is off and their flower broker has entered them into this major

competition which it turns out they might not even be able to do.

Flower broker?

A middle man between supplier and distributor.

But my parents have gotten pretty close to Tom.

He's not bad, I guess.

For a broker.

He seems to really care about flowers.

And my parents.

Sounds like a good guy.

Let me just figure out the carpeting and I'll get back to you.

Sounds good.

Okay.

I would have told you about the problem sooner, Tom.

But Frank asked me not to.

I get it.

And you can't think of anything that might be causing it?

No.

Search me.

Alright.

I should get a move on.

Okay.

Morning.

What are you?

I told you I'm here to take care of business.

You're delivering tulips to local retailers and that's part of the business.

So, I'm going with you.

Suit yourself.

So.

Los Angeles.

Big place.

Yeah.

Here you go.

Thanks.

How you doing?

Newell's tulips at last.

Hi, Ada.

Hi, Tom.

People have been asking about these beauties for days.

Good.

Oh, my gracious.

Rose Newell.

Hey, Ada.

I don't believe it.

And look at you.

Back home and just as pretty as ever.

Isn't she, Tom?

Just as pretty as ever.

Bobby and George are around back.

They can help you unload while Rose and I get caught up.

All right.

Come on in.

Oh, I can't wait to show you around.

It's been so long.

It is not enough.

Wow.

Just like I remember.

Yeah, I remember you used to come in here when you

were a little girl helping your dad make deliveries.

And you always had a new plant or flower to show me.

33 years I've been running this place.

First with Stan, now with my son and grandson.

It's the way it should be.

My dad would agree with you there.

How is Frank?

He'd recover a lot faster if he'd stay off his feet.

I know he loves having you home.

Los Angeles is my home now.

Well, sometimes the only sure way to know when

you're home is how it feels when you leave it.

She sure does love her life.

Well, it's a good life.

Yeah.

What about you?

Do you love living here?

Yeah.

Sure.

It's peaceful.

Yeah.

I love the outdoors.

Me too.

And yet, you're an interior designer.

Go figure.

You know, I have to admit, I wasn't quite sure how today was going to go.

Oh, you didn't?

Why is that?

Well, you may not have noticed, but brokers are not

exactly at the top of the list of your favorite people.

Wait, really?

I don't know.

I always thought they were grumpy old men in cheap

suits who were afraid to get their hands dirty.

Give me time.

So, how did you get into this?

Well, I grew up not far from here in a little town called Grady.

But I went to school on the East Coast, got my

business degree, and did pretty well for myself.

I mean, at least according to how a lot of people see it.

And not you?

When I was growing up, my dad used to take me up in the

mountains to camp and fish and just appreciate things.

We always talked about doing it again.

When I could get away.

Anyway, he passed when I was in New York, so...

we never did get to take that last camping trip.

I'm so sorry.

I found myself thinking about that a lot.

How easy it is to forget to appreciate things.

One day a buddy of mine started talking about flower brokering, how it combines

nature and business, and I had this aha moment.

And here you are.

And here I am.

Thank you.

For helping my parents.

They're good people.

Yeah, they are.

So are you.

I should... I should get this.

Hey, Rob.

Dad!

What are you doing?

I was gonna bring your breakfast up.

I can still get around my own home.

Where's your mother?

She went to pay the guys.

I always hand out the paychecks.

Well, today Mom's doing that, so you can take it easy.

Sit down.

Breakfast is ready.

Whoa.

Well, it was rancheros.

You remembered.

It hasn't been that long.

Feels like it.

You're a good kid.

Now eat up.

Your breakfast is gonna get cold.

Tom!

Hello, Violet.

I've been calling you.

Yeah.

It's been pretty crazy.

Oh, don't I know it.

The orders just keep pouring in.

I can't get the tulips out fast enough.

What's on your mind, Violet?

I've been hearing rumors.

Rumors?

About what?

Frank Newell's tulips a bust.

Who told you that?

Not the point.

Look, that committee is expecting something special.

And they're doing it based on your recommendation.

What happens when they realize it's a waste of time?

Who says it's a waste of time?

Tom.

You have to start thinking about your reputation in this business.

People talk.

Word travels fast.

When Frank Newell falls on his face, I don't want to see you going down with him.

I don't know, Frank.

Billy was out there this morning.

Have you tried calling him?

The crew knows what they're doing, Frank.

You just stay put.

Just try calling him again.

Rosemary will be home soon.

Okay, sweetheart.

Alright, bye.

Billy's not answering his phone.

You said he's a great operations manager, right?

He is.

Oh, there's Ada.

But wait, Mom, he's right over there.

I've been working on a new hybrid tulip of my own.

I've been working on a new hybrid tulip of my own.

It's going along pretty great.

So that's what this is about.

No, no, this is about you, Tom.

I don't want you to ruin your reputation by putting too much faith in the Newells.

They were my first clients.

They've been good to me.

So I'm not just gonna walk out right now.

This wouldn't have anything to do with Rose being back in town, would it?

What are you talking about?

Like I couldn't see the way you two were looking at each other.

I have deliveries to make.

Just don't wait until it's too late.

Once you start sinking, I may not be there to pull you back up.

Okay.

What is wrong with you?

I'm

putting you right next to your friends.

Help you grow.

I could have made it myself.

No, that's not why I'm smiling.

All right, here we go.

Okay.

Night, Rosie.

Good night, Dad.

Oh, shoot.

I forgot my reading glasses on my desk.

I'll go get them.

Oh, thanks, honey.

Okay, come on.

Okay.

Violet?

Oh, it's freezing.

Hey, Tom.

Sorry to call so late.

I know why the tulips are important.

They're blooming.

The door was unlocked, and as soon as I got in there, I knew that it was too cold.

It's 34 degrees.

It's just above freezing.

I tried the thermostat, but when the heater didn't kick on, I found this.

We thought that the tulips were growing in the perfect temperature.

55, 65 degrees.

And during the day, when we were here, they were.

Because the timer was set to bring the temperature

back up during the day so we wouldn't notice.

Tulips are very sensitive to extreme temperatures.

So by setting the timer to nearly freezing,

it's like sending a mixed signal to the tulips.

They didn't know what to do.

That's why they're not blooming.

That kind of cold, they're supposed to go dormant.

Whoever did this wanted to make sure that the tulips never blossomed.

There's only three people who have a key to that door.

Me, Sarah, and Billy.

Why would Billy want to sabotage our tulips?

First thing I'll ask next time I see him.

Then I'll fire him.

Tom, you think you can get that timer off there and get our thermostat working again?

If I can't, I'll find someone who can.

At least it's a relief to know why the tulips hadn't bloomed.

But that's only half the battle.

We still have to get a tulip to blossom in time to be ready for the competition.

Is that even possible?

Dad?

Only one way to find out.

Carolyn!

Change of plans.

The Tannenhills have decided to come home early from Paris.

It's raining or something, I don't know.

But you need to get back to Los Angeles right away.

But Carolyn, I...

I explained that... Yes, I know.

But I have to fly to New York.

Rob has his hands full already.

And in order for this house to be ready, you're going to need to be there 24-7.

I can't!

I'm sorry.

I have a bad connection.

I thought you were going to say that you were on your way to the airport.

There's a crisis here.

My family's whole business is at stake.

And we had an understanding.

Carolyn, designs must be your priority.

It is, absolutely.

I can still handle things from here.

Just give me a few more days and I will be on the first plane back.

How many?

Four.

Three.

A second later and you will be designing

weight rooms for the motor vehicle department.

Understood.

Bye.

I have an idea how to get the tulips to blossom in time.

But it's risky.

How risky?

We all know how hardy tulips are.

Hot, cold, wet, dry.

They'll keep on fighting.

Which is why these little guys are still hanging in there.

We need to find a way to accelerate their growth without shocking their systems.

If we can do that, we could have a blossom ready in time.

If not, we'll probably lose them all.

What do you have in mind?

We push the bulbs as hard as we can.

We turn up the heat 70, 75 degrees.

Really get their blood pumping.

At the same time, we put a plastic sheet over the

roof to create indirect sunlight without frying them.

We cut back on the water, but we make up for

it with plenty of hormones to promote growth.

Then...

Then we pray.

All right.

Well, there's your broker talking now.

Is there any chance this could really work?

A better chance than if we do nothing.

If it's not too late.

If the tulips are strong enough, and with a little bit of luck, it could work.

We know you have a choice to make, Tom.

It's your reputation on the line here.

So if...

you want to try to find another entry to show those

judges, we certainly wouldn't hold it against you.

There's a chance?

There's a chance.

Well, then we better get to work.

Hey, break time, you two.

Yay.

Yeah.

Cheers.

Everything good, Donald?

All good?

Hey.

How'd the deliveries go?

Selling like hotcakes.

Some good news for a change.

There's still time before the competition, so...

wait and see.

My boss called.

There's some designing crisis with my career on the line.

I have to go back to L.A.

in three days.

Three days?

So you'll miss the judging at the festival?

Look, Tom, this was always temporary.

A way to help out my folks.

I was always going to go back to my life in L.A.

You have your life here, with Boca Rain and Violet.

You think that Violet and I, that we aren't...

well...

Well, she seems to think so.

Well, she can think what she likes.

It doesn't make her so.

Two dates.

Second one, under protest.

All those work calls.

I don't just work with Rob.

He's also my boyfriend.

Kind of hesitated there, like you weren't sure.

No, I didn't.

Yeah, I think you did.

No, I did not.

I did not hesitate.

Rob is my boyfriend.

See, there you go.

I did not hesitate.

Okay.

Don't have to tell me twice.

Sounds like a match made in heaven.

I never said it was a match made in heaven.

Look, look, Rob is...

He's a very nice guy.

I like him a lot.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with Rob.

Okay.

Well, then you must be really excited to get back home.

Yeah.

Lucky guy.

I'll see you tomorrow.

Hey, guy.

Hi, sweetie.

Hey.

Where's dad?

Upstairs, resting.

Oh.

What's that?

It's your father's medicine.

That doesn't even take aspirin.

I asked him to tell you, but he didn't want you to worry.

It's for high blood pressure.

What?

He would never admit this, but I think it had something to do with his fall.

Running this farm...

It was hard enough when we were younger, but now with everything happening...

I don't know.

I just think it's all too much.

I saw the offer from Violet Mason.

Are you guys gonna sell the farm?

We haven't told her no.

But what would you do?

We knew we'd lose some for sure.

This is more than some.

But a lot of these are responding really well.

But is there gonna be enough time?

We're further along than we would have been, thanks to you.

Dad... Ann, I'm not trying to put any pressure on you.

I know this isn't what you want to do with your life, and I accept that.

I just want you to know how grateful I am for your help when we needed it.

But I don't want to be the reason you guys lose your farm.

Rosie...

You're the reason we got a shot at keeping it.

Do you want to?

What do you mean?

I know about the offer from Violet.

Mom sounds like she wants to sell.

Your mom just wants to look after me.

This farm has been in the family for a long time.

I'm not ready to let it go just yet.

Besides, we need one.

We only need one.

And now I'm going to take everybody's advice

for a change and get off my feet for a while.

Sounds good.

You've been burning the candle at both ends.

You should find something fun to do for a change.

I wish I could, but I have so much work to do for this job that I'm designing.

We're proud of you, Rosie.

You know that.

Thanks, Dad.

And if you change your mind later, they still do

that bonfire just the way you used to love it.

Tell me it's not true.

Tell me you're not really going to risk everything on some wild idea from someone

who hasn't been around the business in years.

Let's just say I'm trusting my instincts.

And what do your instincts tell you I'm going

to say when you have to come to me for a job?

Any job.

Violet, how do you know so much about what goes on at the Newell farm?

Maybe I'm trusting my instincts.

Or maybe you have an inside source named Billy Chambers.

It's just business, Tom.

Business.

As in, making sure your tulip gets chosen by the committee.

You have my number, Tom.

I suggest you use it.

Oh, it's been a while since we've seen more at the bonfire.

Yeah, it's wonderful.

I didn't know you were still doing it.

Well, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

I saw him head over that way.

In LA, if I want to see the stars, I have to look them up on the internet.

Here, I just look up.

Why'd you leave?

Because...

I was expected to stay.

By who?

Mostly my dad.

I had a... a gift, he called it.

The proverbial green thumb.

So he assumed I would take over Newell farm just like he had from his parents.

Whether I wanted to or not.

But you... you didn't want to.

It's not that simple.

By the time I got to college, I had lived and worked on the farm my whole life.

So the thought of staying on this set course for the rest of my life, it just.

I wanted to try something different.

So you chose... interior design.

I know.

The complete opposite of anything I'd done before.

My roommate was studying it.

And...

She'd always come home with these beautiful creations.

Not to mention she was never covered in dirt.

So... I got a few classes.

Hmm...

And how did Frank like that?

Things came to a head when I got a degree in design instead of in horticulture.

So that's why you haven't been back for so long.

Yeah.

I got offered a job at Carolin Design right out of school.

And I've lived in Los Angeles for...

a long time since.

But you came back.

When your parents needed you, that means a lot to your dad.

Maybe you could...

visit more often now.

Maybe.

Maybe.

I should... I should go.

Do

you mind checking the south field when you're done here?

Absolutely.

Thanks.

They look a whole lot better, honey.

They're still not ready.

But we're getting there.

That's the important thing.

And we've still got a couple days left.

Look at this one.

Buds are almost open.

There has to be something else.

Something that I'm overlooking.

I mean, look at them.

They're so close.

Rosie.

You've done everything.

I couldn't be prouder.

Now, we just have to have...

a little faith.

We only need one.

Watered, out of the red sunlight.

It'll do just fine.

Anything interesting?

They all say the same thing and I've tried all this.

I was on the internet half the night and nothing.

Honey, you've been around two loops your whole life.

There's not much you don't know.

All these years, everybody said I could grow anything.

I come home, and the one time I need to, I just don't want to let them down.

Rose, not in a million years.

I should probably get this.

Hey, Rob.

Is everything okay?

You tell me.

I left a couple messages.

I haven't heard back.

Well, I've been CC'ing you on all the emails with the contractors and everything

should be right on schedule with the Tannehill house.

I know.

I got them.

Okay, well, send me an email tonight and let me know what you need to get done and

I'll take care of it when I get home.

Actually, I was just calling to talk.

Oh.

How are things going with the tulips?

Fine.

Well, maybe.

Well, we'll know tomorrow.

And you come home the next day?

Yeah.

Looking forward to it.

I miss you.

I miss you too.

Well, see you soon.

See you soon.

Move over.

There you go.

That hit the spot.

It isn't funny.

Tomorrow's a big day.

Whatever happens, we still have a chance.

We have a bigger decision tomorrow.

Let's cross that bridge when we come to it.

There you are.

Hey.

Well, moment of truth.

Alright.

Hey.

You did great.

Not good enough to win.

Did you see how happy you made your parents?

It's not gonna save the farm, Tom.

Not with business falling and cutthroat competition like Violet.

How long until they have to sell this farm?

Move into town into some... some condo?

Dad puttering around in some tiny backyard buying tulip bulbs from a department store?

You could at least pay attention to me.

I thought that's why you came back.

No, no.

I was.

I was.

I just wouldn't.

What is that?

This is the one.

I've never seen one that color before.

It's perfect.

You did it, Rosie.

We did it.

Alright, according to the rules, we gotta get this in to the judges today.

They keep all the entries together until the last

day of the festival when the winner is announced.

What about the Floral Society?

Well, they're flying in for the competition and

that's when they'll make their decision about...

Wait, Frank.

Every new hybrid needs a name.

What are you gonna call this little beauty?

A tulip for Rose.

Uh, you two better get a move on.

No, no, wait, wait, wait.

First, let's get a selfie.

Lydia, squeeze in everybody.

Ready?

Everybody say tulip.

Tulip!

Thank you for all of your help.

We couldn't have done all this without you.

Happy to do it.

So, I have an early flight in the morning.

I guess that I won't see you before I go.

So this is goodbye.

Take care, Tom.

You...

You feel it, too.

It's not just me.

Tell me you don't feel it and I won't say another word.

I'll turn around and I'll walk away.

And that'll be that.

I have to go home.

But Rose...

You are home.

It's for you to decide.

Welcome home.

Rob!

I tried calling you.

I thought you were flying in yesterday.

I did, but I had so much to do at the Tannen...

Hill House that I went straight there from the airport

and then I worked all afternoon and last night and...

No, it makes sense.

They're coming home tonight, I hear.

Yeah.

I'm just glad to see you.

Thanks.

You too.

Do you want to have some dinner tonight?

We can catch up.

Sure, yeah, that's... yeah.

Rose?

Carolyn, hi, how are you?

Grab your things.

You're coming with me.

Let's go.

Why?

Where are we... Today, Rose.

I told you how important this project was to me personally, didn't I, Rose?

Yes, you did.

And that I wouldn't be satisfied unless the Tannen

Hills were completely thrilled with the results?

Carolyn, I... And I also warned you what to expect if anything went wrong.

Especially after you decided you had to see the tulips.

Yes, you warned me.

Well, congratulations.

You did it.

Did it?

I didn't think it was possible.

I've been through the entire house, top to bottom, inch by inch.

And it's absolutely perfect.

The Tannen Hills will be thrilled.

Really?

Oh my gosh!

Thank you!

Sorry.

And with my help and guidance, you had a definite advantage.

Of course.

But I saw something in you.

And I'm never wrong about these things.

Which is why for your next project, I think you're ready to go it alone.

My next?

A chateau in the mountains.

The view on the outside is lovely.

Inside, not so much.

I'll send you the specs when we get back to the office.

I'm really eager to hear your ideas.

You're not going to have to worry about tulips for a very long time.

Frank?

Sarah?

Hi!

Hello, Tom.

Violet?

What brings you here?

Oh, I just wanted to say hi.

See how Frank was getting along?

It's fine, thanks.

I'm so happy to hear that.

Must be so hard to manage this place when you can't get around.

I do all right.

And we've got a lot of help.

But with Rose back in Los Angeles, I mean, it's not going to get any easier.

I suppose not.

Oh, which reminds me.

Have you had a chance to look over my offer?

We have, as a matter of fact.

Oh, maybe we should go inside and talk about it.

That's okay, Violet.

We can say no out here.

Excuse me?

What my wife is saying is we appreciate the

offer, but we're not ready to sell just yet.

I hope this doesn't have anything to do

with the little misunderstanding with Billy.

I mean, because I want to be very clear.

I had nothing to do with that.

Sabotaging your tulips was completely his own idea.

It's funny you should bring that up.

See, I was over at the garden store talking to Ada.

Did you know she sells timers exactly like the one we found in the hot house?

Is that so?

And the funny part is she has only sold one of those things in the last few months.

I suppose you know that already.

Because you're the one that bought it.

You know, even if the committee picks your tulip, there's

no guarantee that it's going to fix your business.

You could still lose this place.

That may be true, Violet, but we'd still rather take

a chance on our daughter than sell this place to you.

Fine.

Have it your way.

Oh, and needless to say, I'm withdrawing my offer to you for a job.

Needless to say, but you said it anyway.

Bye now.

We may not like it, but she's right about one thing.

One way or another, business has to get better.

I'll help any way I can.

Thank you, Tom.

Hey.

Hi.

Congratulations, I hear you were a big hit today.

Yeah.

That's fantastic, Rose.

I'm so happy for you.

So, you ready to celebrate?

You know that I think you're amazing.

So are you.

We're just not amazing together.

What?

And I think that's important for both of us.

Yeah.

I care about you a lot, Rose, but I think that we deserve amazing.

Don't you?

Are you breaking up with me?

You're breaking up with me.

Did you want me to wait to let you break up with me?

No, no.

Oh my gosh, no, no, no.

And you're right.

We both deserve amazing.

We'll find out.

And when we do, we'll know.

So, you hungry?

Because I'm starving.

Rose, good.

Did you have a chance to look at the chalet photos?

Yes, I did.

You don't have a lot of time, but we have a conference call in half an hour.

The Kendals are in Montana or Monaco or something.

You're going to have to toss out some ideas.

Carolyn, there is... Yes, what?

I need to tell you something.

Oh, no.

We've lost you to the Tulips.

Those lucky folks.

The flowers.

Good morning, everyone, and welcome to the 33rd Annual Valley Tulip Festival.

We want to remind you to be sure and stick around this afternoon for the announcement

of this year's winner of the flower competition.

When did Tom say that committee was getting into town?

Not till after lunch when they're doing the judging.

Uh-uh.

Are you sure you're up for this?

Wouldn't miss it for the world.

Who could that be?

Everybody's at the festival.

Who is it, Sarah?

Hi, Dad.

Rosie?

I don't understand.

I kept telling everybody that I needed to get

home, and I thought that meant Los Angeles, but...

as soon as I got there, all I could think about was this farm, and you two,

and how I feel when I'm here, and...

how much I miss it.

What about your job?

It was great, really, but...

I don't belong there.

I belong here.

But... Are you sure?

I don't know if it's a gift or not.

All I know is that helping things grow is what I love to do, and...

I have never been happier than when I was here.

I'd like to keep Newell Farm and the family.

If that's okay with you.

I don't know what to say.

I do.

When do you start?

Oh, Frank.

It's all right.

How about we take today off?

I hear there's a big festival in town.

Not to mention a very important flower contest.

How are you feeling, Frank?

Oh!

Boy, that's smart!

What is it?

What is it?

I don't know.

Maybe I'd better sit for a minute.

Let me help you.

That's all right.

I'll look after him.

You go on ahead.

Are you sure?

Go on, Rose.

We'll meet you over by the judging stand.

Okay, only if you're sure.

No, no.

We're sure.

We're sure.

Go.

Welcome.

Thank you.

So much for coming.

Tom.

Pleasure.

We're right this way.

Come on.

All right, ladies and gentlemen.

It's that time.

The judges are about to announce the winner of this year's flower competition.

Tom.

Tom.

What are you doing here?

I came back.

I can see that.

Why aren't you in Los Angeles?

Because I have a new career now.

Oh.

Which is?

Doing what I love.

Where I love.

Where the people I love.

Where the people I love.

Sounds like a great plan.

Sounds like a great plan.

Ladies and gentlemen.

Could I have your attention, please?

We have the judge's decision.

The winner of this year's valley flower competition is...

Newell Farm.

For their new hybrid, a tulip for Rose.

Come on up here, Frank.

Nicely done.

Congratulations.

Thank you.

Come on, old man.

Get over here.

Yeah.

You

do have a very green thumb.

It's a gift.

I just hope it's enough, because the orders have not stopped coming in.

Well, you're the broker.

You can start taking orders for next year.

We got it, Rosie.

It came.

It's beautiful.
