Good afternoon, everyone. This is the
strongest September hurricane in two

decades to hit the western coast of
Florida. The storm threatening to cause

catastrophic damage with a storm surge
forecast of up to 18 feet in some

18 feet of seawater expected to come
ashore.

There's more in the laundry room, but
take this to the grand ballroom, okay?

To keep these close by and make sure
they have harsh batteries.

Danielle, where do you need to supply
them? Oh, thank God. We are sheltering

the grand ballroom, but how is the
restaurant?

Secure as can be.

Okay,

Renee, not even a hurricane can ruin
your fun.

Well, I mixed a jug of Sanibel Sunset
just in case we lose power. I'm calling

a hydration celebration.

Ah, well, the kitchen staff is bringing
some food. You want to jump out of a

cave, too?

Don't tempt me.

Wait, no, my son would kill me. Yes, he
would. Where is he?

What? He's bringing our neighbors over
here. It's a good thing you don't have

too many guests checked in. I don't know
if that is such a good thing.

Corporate is not exactly thrilled about
the extensive vacancies.

Anyway, go to the ballroom. I'm sure
somebody in there needs a drink by now.

Let's go. The guests need our calming
presence.

So that song's basically about one of my
favorite things, and that's having a

little too much fun.

Speaking of fun, it is always an honor
to play one of Nashville's coolest

writer's workshop.

Thank you so much.

Y 'all be good.

Oh, Javi.

Well, sir.

So when are you going to play some new
music?

Man, I'm just having fun playing, right?
Not so much.

Here you go.

Join the family business.

And give Dad the satisfaction. Where's
the fun in that?

Speaking of, I swear this man has a
sixth sense.

Mark's playing music. Gotta put a stop
to it.

On the weekend?

He never stops working.

I better go. 7 a .m. tomorrow morning
meeting.

Should I book you for the rest of the
month?

Count me in.

Appreciate you, Scotty.

Yes, sir. Good night.

Rebuilding from the rubble, that is what
you will find on Sanibel Island today.

A world -renowned destination reduced to
pieces of brick, branches, wood, and

memories, and the progress that's slowly
offering its residents hope.

Don't worry.

She'll be shining bright again in no
time.

How can you be so sure?

Do you remember the chamber mixer on the
beach?

The one where you took your glass of
wine for a swim in the pool?

No, the one where an act of God caused a
tsunami wave and knocked my feet out

from under me.

And? And every business leader in
Sanibel ran into the water to help me

on my feet.

They're going to do the same for our
girl out there.

The point is, storms come and go.

Sanibel stands strong.

How's the resort?

We have rooms that are operational, but
we have got a lot of work to do if we're

going to get it ready before tourist
season.

It is crazy that that is the least of my
problems.

What's going on?

I finally got Travel Town to agree to
come back and give us a second chance,

hoping that they would give us a better
review, but they can only come at the

end of the month, and hurricane damage
isn't exactly a tourist attraction.

Can't they reschedule?

No, but I understand. I mean, I'm lucky
that they're even willing to come back

at all.

The whole reason that rating was bad was
because of corporate rules.

I believe they even used the words
stuffy and uptight.

God, they would have been blown away if
they could have seen you implement all

your ideas.

You should do that.

You should use the hurricane as an
excuse to stage a hospitality coup.

Renee, I don't have a rebellious spirit
like you. And besides, corporate is

sending a higher up to help me tackle
this amount of work.

Oh, well, that's good. You've got some
support.

I already feel like I'm in over my head.
I mean, corporate already thinks that

I'm failing. And what if I prove them
right?

What if we get an even worse review? I
mean, this is my dream job. I don't want

to lose it.

You're focusing on the wrong what if.

What if everything works out?

What if Travel Town comes back and gives
the sundial a glowing review?

What if corporate sees your genius and
gives you a promotion?

You're right. I know.

I can do this.

I grew up at the Sundial. I know the
policies and procedures manual front and

back. I have memorized the mandate of
continuity between resorts all the way

down to the approved color of cocktail
skewers. Heaven forbid an unsanctioned

use of cocktail skewer.

What does Fairbanks Corp care what kind
of cocktail skewer is used? They think

uniformity brings comfort to the guests.

They want every resort to feel the same,
no matter the location.

Well, no wonder the review is bad.

Uniformity is just a fancy word for
boring.

I wish that I could bring in more
flavor, you know, showcase all the

stuff that Annabelle has to offer, but
not my resort, Renee.

Well, let's just help this corporate
paper pusher.

There you go.

Wakes up and smells the sea breeze.

Maybe, if I'm lucky.

I will see you at Arcy Otters later.

If you want the best meal on Sanibel,
you will. My kitchen is my second home

now. Thank you for breakfast.

Welcome.

Yes, and I called the insurance company,
so we are covered on flood and wind.

Obviously, premiums are going to
skyrocket, so we're going to have to

that. Have you contacted payroll?

Okay, and they're good?

Whoa. See, you made it just in time for
the hard work, Mark.

You sure you're in the right place?

Maybe not.

Looks like a cult of pharmacists in this
room. You guys want me to step out for

some more Kool -Aid?

Figures. You'd rather drink poison than
sit through a company meeting.

Yeah, Dad. Well, maybe if you put a
little more razzle -dazzle in some of

spreadsheets. I'll be sure and slip on
some sequins next time our company is in

crisis. Okay, speaking of crisis...

The hurricane did hit directly our Gulf
and Caribbean properties. This is a

problem. Wait, there actually is a
crisis.

Yeah.

Do they not get the news on your planet?

Guys, these repairs, they're going to
have to start ASAP if we want to be

operational by tourist season. Which
site do you intend to visit, Mark?

I'm sorry, what?

Yeah, what?

Please, give the Fairbanks the room.

Dad.

Sit.

You too.

You know, I built this whole company to
give our family a comfortable lifestyle.

And like it or not, young man, that
requires effort from you.

My passion is music, and you know it.

You don't seem to take that very
seriously anymore, do you?

You had a couple of hits, and you just
gave up.

It's not giving up.

It's called writer's block.

For years?

This hurricane has caused a lot of
damage, okay?

And we are stretched really thin with
tourist season coming up fast.

You never liked the work I did for you
before, so what do you want to know?

Well, life is not one big vacation.

Our business is literally one big
vacation, Dad.

Pick a location.

Evaluate damages, sign invoices, get the
place up and operational by tourist

season. Then you can come home.

Doesn't matter anyway.

All our resorts look the same. So just
give me the closest one.

Sanibel. Perfect.

You travel tomorrow.

Awesome.

What?

Nothing.

Debating whether or not this is a good
idea.

Hurricane just hit Annabelle. How much
damage could I possibly do now?

True. They have been through enough.

You know, you're sounding a lot like Dad
these days.

You both just, like, hate that I like
music more than I do money.

No.

We just want you to find a direction and
move forward.

That's it.

And don't you think it might be time for
you to face the music, not just play

it? Well, there's always room for one
more. You could really rock.

Shut up.

Quiet. Hey.

Welcome to the cult, brother.

Ha.

You didn't even ask me what my favorite
flavor of Kool -Aid was.

I know, because it's great.

And it's growth.

Why are you stalking my

shelf, Daniel?

I just clocked in.

We had a bunch of sales this morning.

Do you have more gas checking in?

Uh, no. The cleanup crew came for
snacks.

And marketplace shelves must appear
fully stocked with no extra shelf space

exceeding eight centimeters.

Oh, please, not the manual.

Anything else?

Fine. Take these to room 202.

More cows?

What are they doing in... Actually,
never mind.

It does not matter what they are doing
in there. What does matter is that we

treat the guests that we do have like
royalty.

Deliver the towels with a smile.

Good afternoon.

Welcome to the Sundial Beach Resort and
Spa.

Thank you.

Gotta say, I've been to all the
sundials. This one's special.

Well, we are happy to have you. Thank
you. You mind if I check you in or get

someone to carry your bags?

Or is it just the guitar?

The towel squire beat you to it.

Towel squire?

Yeah, he helped me get my bags out of
the trunk, handed me a towel, started

bowing, calling me a prince.

Told him to tuck it in my collar so my
subjects would know I was the prince of

Towel Town.

I am so sorry about that.

He's great. My kind of guy. Told me to
relax, he'd take care of everything.

You guys have a great view out here,
especially the lighthouse.

See, it's how we know that we're home.

Must be nice.

Well? You make yourself at home for your
well -deserved vacation.

You get me.

Daniela, I will do just that.

After I wander around a little bit,
please pretend to look productive.

Wonderful. Let me know if you need
anything.

Cheers.

Which room is the guy from corporate in
again?

The guitar guy is from corporate.

That's what he said.

I thought he'd be a sip in his suit,
too.

Mark Fairbanks?

Fairbanks?

He's not even on the website.

Mark Fairbanks missing from annual
shareholders meeting?

Mark Fairbanks songwriter's workshop?
This guy is a songwriter? Is this a

Wow. My mom loves Amber Ann Lambert's
song.

I mean, he's been doing that and he's
working at corporate?

No wonder he was excited about a
vacation.

That is the problem.

He's not supposed to be on vacation.

Well,

hello again.

Hey, partner in crime. Have a seat. Give
me a little inspiration.

Oh, come on. You will love this.

What are we doing? I'm liking the spot
I'm in. Oh, no. Believe me. Believe me.

You need to see this part of the resort.
But don't worry. There is a pool of

cabanas. and a much better view.

Hey, hold on. Be careful. That's
expensive.

Man.

Yeah, maybe we could go to the bar.

Oh, no, no. If you want some
inspiration, you just have a seat right

I'll get you a drink from the bar.

As you wish.

Well,

I never liked this shirt anyway.

So you are from corporate.

You should have told me. I thought you
were a guest.

Technically, I am. I don't live here.

Oh, come on. What happened to that well
-deserved vacation?

Look around, Mark.

We have so much work to do. I mean, this
is far from Fairbank standards, and I

can't have that.

Darling, I'm going to be real. I have no
idea how this place runs. I'm just here

to sign invoices, work orders, just make
sure things come together.

From the pool?

Well, not that pool.

Nobody likes micromanaging. I'll stay
out of your way.

Write some music or try to. So that's
the real reason why you're here? You're

going to write some music?

I'm here as a favor to my family, and
yeah, maybe shake a little writer's

It's not that serious.

It is serious to me.

Travel Town, they're giving us a second
chance at a review in a couple of weeks,

and I have to get this place up and
running again.

I'm sorry, Travel Town.

It accounts for half of our bookings
online.

So if we don't have Travel Town, we
don't have a resort. And if we don't

resort, this entire island suffers
because I could not hack it as a

I am just going to get in your way. I
get in my own way most of the time.

Much better with a guitar on stage than
I am holding a cup of water. I will find

you an audience for your music.

No offense.

Not enough guests here for an audience.
Kind of need those for feedback.

I know a place.

And in return, you help me get this
place up and running again.

Okay, fine.

This is a legit place.

You're not going to put me in a broom
closet.

Oh, I'd like to.

So what's our catch of the day?

Fish stick.

Salty Sam couldn't get his boat out.

But don't worry, we're going to be fine.
Even though we may not have the fresh

catch of the day, we will make the
classiest sticks of fish on the coast.

Mission star, here we come.

Tops and tails for lunch tomorrow, okay,
Sam?

Yeah, that's my guy.

Come on.

I want you to meet everyone.

Look what the beach blew in.

To what do we owe the honor?

A lunch break.

Who are you and what have you done to my
daughter?

Oh, this is your dad.

Nice to meet you, sir. Mark Fairbanks.

We've met before.

When you were a little fella, you used
to run up on the stage and break all our

guitar strings.

Wait, did you work at Barney's? This is
Barney.

What? I bought it a few years ago. We
remodeled, spruced it up. There was a

blues player.

Jack Mack.

Jack Mack, yes. He was the first one to
teach me to play. First couple of

chords. Yeah, until Daniela tattled on
you.

I don't remember that. I don't think
that was me.

No, that sounds like Daniela.

Deputy do -right.

My dad made me shred old files for a
week as punishment. Thanks.

Gosh, Jack Mack, man. He took me under
his wing.

He still around?

Passed a few years ago.

Oh, that's a shame.

Would have loved to have played with him
now.

Show him I've learned more than three
chords.

Oh, that was you?

You played the same three chords over
and over again for a week. You drove me

crazy. I tried to have Dad kick you out.

Now you're determined to keep me here
until tour season.

Dad sent me down here to help Danielle
out.

Was that his guitar outside?

You mind if I check it out? Sure, as
long as you...

Put the strings back on, and when you're
done... Hey, if I break a string, I'm

running for my life.

Deputy Dew right here would make a
citizen's room.

See you guys out there.

Now I will never get him back to the
resort.

Well, we've got to take a break
sometime.

Now, what can I get for you?

Burger or fish sticks?

Don't ask.

Was any help to you?

I am staying cautiously optimistic.

Can you play here a few nights?

Mark is not exactly thrilled about being
here, so I am trying to make his trip

more fun and musical.

I just wish I had a bigger audience
more, you know?

What's up, buddy?

You like music?

You're really good.

Thank you.

You play?

Um, not really, no.

Well, come on up here. I'll show you a
few chords we can annoy Daniela with.

All right.

Grab that guy right there.

I'm Jamie.

How you doing, bud? Mark.

Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you.

Is that my baby on a stage playing an
actual instrument?

Yeah, we have makings of a house band.

Oh, Jamie already knows my favorite
song.

I think you mean everybody's favorite
song.

You did a good job, huh?

Good job, Jamie.

He is a good kid.

Said his mom makes the best scallops.
Let's try.

Sad to say, but Sam can't fish.

Yeah, practically every restaurant on
this island buys from Sam.

The hurricane, it did not just hurt the
resort, it hurt every business.

So what do you guys do?

Get to work, rebuild again.

That's all you can do. Team effort.

Are you ready to get back to work,
teammates?

I'm on the team.

Of course. And right now we are playing
for Team Emanuel.

Oh,

yay. Yay.

Nice to meet you, sir.

See you soon.

So what can I help you with? Well, we...

I do have to get the pool deck up to
Fairbanks standards. So I actually have

this diagram with highlighted areas that
you can focus on.

There's mathematical equations on here.
Isn't this more of a maintenance job?

Well, they're working on the roof air
conditioner and checking for water

But you want to trade?

I'll take the pool chair map.

If my calculations are correct, we are
due for a water break.

No,

no, no. Come on, Deputy Daniela. Have a
little fun.

Thirsty?

Ah, thank you.

I guarantee you my sister is not picking
up all the problems.

Well, the pool looks great. You actually
did a decent job.

Don't be surprised.

Hey, put your feet in. Enjoy the fruits
of our labor. No, I'll get my clothes

wet. No.

Mark, you can't go in the pool like
that. Then you get in, and I'll stay

here. Otherwise, I'm going to do a
handstand. Okay, okay.

Oh, that's nice.

It is not that bad.

However, I could use my favorite iced
vanilla latte with extra syrup, and then

it would be perfect.

I hear that.

We're missing a lounge chair over there.

You do know it's okay to relax, right?
Self -care is healthy. Stress can kill

you. I can relax in my off time, sure.

I bet you don't even take sick days.
Once!

I still feel guilty for once.

Breathe deep and dream a little, Miss
Charles. Believe me, it gets easier when

you practice.

And for the record, I didn't put a chair
over there because there's a big red X

on the ground.

Oh, well, that's where the old Sandoval
Pirates treasure is buried.

Pirates treasure.

Arr, bring me a shovel.

Actually, pirates would be interesting.

Well, there are legends of pirates on
the island.

It's actually something I wanted to do
for the kids, but that is not in the

Sundial Resort manual, so that got
vetoed pretty fast.

So do it anyway.

Tell your dad, not me.

Oh, he won't listen to me.

He brought you here. You're a part of
the company.

Not like he wants.

It's not that I don't care about the
family business.

They are so serious, it's just not fun.

Things can't be fun all the time.
Sometimes you've got to put in some

hard work.

Why can't you do both?

What's up?

Well, you have an emergency guitar
lesson.

Yeah, apparently Jamie, he's playing the
same three chords over and over again,

and Renee thinks that the patrons are
being tortured.

All right, I'm on it.

I'll have to show you my handstand
later, I guess.

You coming too?

No, no, I've got to walk the grounds of
maintenance and do some payroll until

late, but I will see you tomorrow.

Not if I find that buried treasure.

Oh, I'm hiding the shovel.

Yeah, there you go.

Yeah, you're getting it, man.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Then you just move those two, right?

Down. All right, sorry. You're getting
it.

Yeah. Yeah, dude.

that the storm sprayed the coffee shop.
I do not know what I would do without my

daily caffeine fix.

It is too scary to even think about.

What? You practically launched a boulder
through the windshield when we were

blocked from picking up your coffee
after the storm, which is why we're

our coffee before we do our cleanup.

Don't need any more broken windows on
this island.

Hey, speaking of cleanup, how's your
guitar hero doing?

All right.

I have to threaten him to do manual
labor sometimes, but when he does, he

manages to make it.

Fun?

Fun? No, you hate that. I'm so sorry.
It's unacceptable.

Large ice vanilla latte, extra syrup.

There you go.

Hey. Oh, hello.

I think you grabbed my drink.

I ordered it and was going to bring it
to you this morning, so you're welcome.

How did you know my order?

You mentioned it in your rare daydream
by the pool yesterday.

I'm sorry, daydream by the pool?

During work hours?

What?

Okay, what do we got going on here? You
two starting the weirdest girl group on

earth? I love it. I'll wear a traffic
cone. I'll play backup. I got the

I'll do it. Okay, wait. That's actually
a really good idea.

We could practice.

We should start.

We should.

Like one of these.

Oh, my gosh.

Rhythm section.

Yeah. Which way are you going? This way.
And then this way.

Is there a morning ritual on this
island? I don't know about.

We are here to help the general store
move their vintage truck to the front.

got displaced by the storm, and they
need some help pushing it because it

doesn't run.

Oh, and the team from RLR and Royal
Shell are here to help too.

I see companies do more than write
checks.

That's just how we roll here.

Daniella organized it.

Plus, tourists love to take pictures in
front of the truck.

It's adorable.

Seems like she never stops working.

Okay, you don't have to talk about me in
third person. I'm standing right here.

Where? Daniela.

Where are you at? Daniela. Okay, Mark,
careful. She does get lethal.

Overspilled coffee.

Plastic can be real sharp if you know
how to cut it. Just right.

Yeah. Told you.

You serious?

Let's go. One, two, three.

for coming out today and helping. I know
that the hurricane tried to devastate

us. It tried to take us down. But I
believe, no, I know that Travel Town is

going to fall in love with Santa Barbara
Island just like what we have. So thank

you. Thank you guys so much. Thank you.

Hang on real quick, folks. One more time
for Daniela Charles.

How we doing, guys? I'm Mark.

I want to introduce you to my buddy
Jamie here.

Got something for you guys to sip to.

Come on up here, buddy.

Woo!

Enjoy it. This is for you.

It's been a good long while since I felt
this day.

Underneath my feet with a guitar in hand
Strumming by the same motion

I did as a kid Feels good to be back
here and see what I'm in

I don't know if stars align or if

I'd call it fate But there's a reason I
found you and one I can't explain

Whether it's part of a plan, being
written here in the sand, lost the ride,

the break, gotta take it wave by wave.

Thank you!

Look, look, I think we have two in.

You guys are a good team.

Here, you take that side, I'll take this
side.

Want to see who can finish their side
faster like one of those castaway game

show challenges?

Your ability to find fun in the most
monotonous task is astounding to me.

Well, if I'm not where I want to be, I
might as well have fun.

I guess.

You would rather be in Nashville playing
music?

Maybe.

I guess it's not so bad here.

How long have you been here?

I practically grew up at the Sundial.

My mom was the concierge and she made
all the guests happy, so I wanted to do

the same.

I don't have a degree in hospitality
that's required, so they took a risk on

because my mom was so well -liked.

I have no doubt she's proud.

Out of curiosity, where is she?

She passed away a couple years ago.

In a way, I feel like I'm keeping her
legacy alive.

She sounds real special.

She was.

She gave guests the vacation of a
lifetime around the island.

I just wish I could bring the fun and
the charm of the island into the resort.

So do it.

It's obvious you love this place, and
when you love something, you can't go

wrong, no matter what.

You really believe that?

Sure do.

Daniela!

Where did you find this little guy?

He was stuck around the back.

Probably displaced by the storm.

His leg does look a little wonky,
doesn't it? Yeah.

Okay, so the rehab clinic, that is
closed. I wonder if Ding Darling, you

would help? Could you grab my keys?

What's Ding Darling?

Oh, dude, Ding Darling is the best spot
to impress dates.

You bring a picnic, look at some birds
and stuff.

Guaranteed a second date at Dog Ford.

Okay, it is way more than that. You and
the bird watching, little buddy?

We should take him.

Come on, show me the Santa Bo you want
your guests to see. Consider it

Research. Research.

Research. Okay, let's go.

The trees, the sky, the ocean air is
bliss. Yes, it is bliss, but also you

to quit rubbernecking it. Our turn is
just ahead.

Bye.

Daniela! Oh my gosh, it has been too
long. Oh, I know. Hi, Tracy.

Okay, how did you guys weather the
storm? We're still assessing, but you

the ecosystem's strong.

Public hasn't returned yet, so the
state's thinking about shutting down the

education center if we can't get more
foot traffic.

But, you know, I got my guys fixing
stuff up all over the place.

Okay, well, let me know if you need any
help. You have enough on your plate.

We'll find a way. We always do. I know.

Mark, come over here for a second. I
have someone I want you to meet.

Tracy, this is Mark Fairbanks. His
family owns the Sundial. Oh, the famous

Fairbanks. Pleasure to meet you.

Nice to meet you. So I hear one of our
residents wanted to have a spa day at

Sundial. There he is.

Hi, buddy.

Let's check you out here.

Oh, there we go.

You're okay, sweetheart. I know. Is it
tough?

How is the spa over there showing off
for the ladies?

Oh, yeah, look at that back leg. Oh, I
see it.

All right, buddy, we'll get you back in
shape.

All right, let me take him in the back
real quickly.

Come on. All right, thanks, Trace. Bye,
buddy.

Bye. Nice to meet you, buddy.

Yeah, well, big place.

I know, you should see the refuge.

Right, Trace?

Largest undeveloped mangrove in the
United States.

You guys should take the bikes out on
the trail.

Danielle knows it well.

She can point out some of the species
better than our rangers can.

Ooh, let's ride then.

Come on.

You better hurry up before he gets lost.

I'm wondering if that is such a bad
thing.

He's cute.

Oh, and irritating.

Oh, good ones always are.

At first.

Okay. Go have fun.

No, I will not be.

You work too much. Bye, Craig.

On your mark, get set, here we go.

Okay, you're going down there.

Wait, hold on. Let's go. Hold on, my
gear's not shifting. Let's go.

Gosh,

this place is incredible.

I guess you'd see this.

Keep singing, birds.

I'm loving it.

So, you're a serious songwriter and you
can obviously sing.

Why are you writing for other people?

Family has enough spotlight.

I don't know.

I guess I didn't want people thinking I
was getting a leg up just because of the

name. Oh, so you didn't want to be the
next Pierce Hilton.

Exactly. Nobody wants to see that.

Although we do both look good in pink.

I don't know. Maybe they do.

The birds, they sing their own songs.

That's what makes them so special.

That's true.

You know, I really like that song that
you wrote for Coleborough.

You are really talented.

Thanks. Gosh, they all feel so old now.

I haven't been able to write anything
good in a while.

What happened?

Ah, look at that pelican.

Yeah, have you never seen one before?

Well, sure, just not an accident like
this.

You do realize that you did not answer
my question.

I was hitting a wall working with my
dad.

Everything has to be its way.

So music became my refuge.

Started writing songs, everything felt
right, and shopped a few around

and got a few big cuts.

Living the dream?

Yeah, it was.

Delayed another wall and the labels, the
industry were saying I wasn't Nashville

enough.

So I got lost again and haven't been
able to find a place with Dad or the

And you haven't written since?

Nothing that speaks from the heart.

It's crazy, even though Nashville's my
hometown, I haven't felt myself there.

Really?

Well, home isn't a place. I think it's a
state of being.

Inspiration doesn't just dry up, but it
can move around.

No kidding.

Is it weird that I feel more myself
here?

No, not at all.

Sometimes to truly be yourself, you need
this backdrop that's anything but.

Wise word.

Dare I say, inspiring.

You really should bring every sundial
guest here.

Your dad doesn't think so.

Really?

You met him? Not on the best of terms,
but... Ah, got called into the

principal's office.

Yeah, it was after...

That bad review, and our bookings
dropped, and I tried to encourage him

some ideas to implement Seneval into the
resort, and then that just

completely... He's a creature of habit.

Reliable formulas never let him down.

Yeah, well, I think he was worried that
my lack of formal education hindered my

understanding of the policies and
procedures of a fair bank resort. He

if I... If I didn't get the bookings up,
I would have to reconsider my

promotion.

Brutal.

Yeah. So, that is why I am by the book.

No more risk, not even the fun ones.

Yeah, you don't need to abandon joy to
make things great, though.

Doing things with joy is what makes them
great. I am in charge of the resort.

Losing guests, that is my
responsibility. And your dad, he has the

I do not, for a reason.

And plus, I want to impress him.

Yeah, but there's no winning with him.

I learned that a long time ago.

Well, not if you give up before you even
start.

Maybe you just need to take the next
step and dip your toe in the water.

Right.

How is this for the first step to
success?

Nice.

Not bad.

Oh, Gator. What?

Oh.

Picnicking with gators now.

I did not know you were such a chicken.

No, I was a crane, like Karate Kid.

Like, very brave.

I'll see you in a little pic, Tony.

I'm like, you're such a stickler for the
world.

I don't make them up.

Hey, thanks again, Tracy.

Don't forget about tonight. You and the
boys are welcome. I'll be sure to let

them know.

Tonight?

Yeah. R .C. Utters. You said I could
play, remember?

We still haven't even made a dent in the
work, and I have a stack of invoices

that you need to approve.

That'll take 15 minutes. These people
have been working nonstop since the

They deserve a break.

And, bonus, business for R .C. Utters.
Win, win, win.

Okay, you are playing me dirty. Thank
you.

You'll thank me later.

Guarantee.

Really knows how to work a crowd.

He's a good salesman.

Even has me thinking about my ideas for
the resort again.

So that's what put the twinkle in my
little girl's eyes.

I noticed that twinkle. It is a fool's
errand, but it's, you know, fun to think

about.

Where my dancers at?

Renee! Hey, y 'all, get down here!

Everybody stand up now. Come on. Go
ahead. Show a good time.

Come on now.

Dancing is fun.

I do not dance. Oh, we're doing it.

Going to the front. We're in the front.
We're in the front. One more time.

Got a little wardrobe malfunction, but
you guys get home safe. Thanks so much.

My bracelet broke.

Okay.

I'll keep looking.

Okay, good news is I found more shells.

What is the deal with the shells anyway?

I see a lot of the locals wearing them.
Tracy even had one on her wrist. It's a

tradition around the island that my mom
loves.

The locals, they will get them to each
other. Here you are, my friend.

Thanks for bringing in all the people
tonight.

Oh, man.

That's how you earn them. Apparently,
you are officially a local.

I love that.

Hey, take this man's shelling.

Absolutely. I have a suggestion.

Jamie and his friends need community
service hours for their school project.

can supervise the beach cleanup while
you get this man some shell.

I like her.

A lot. Win, win, win. That's a great
idea. You know that there are rules to

shelling, right?

I'm sure you know every one of them.

Yes.

I'll behave.

I promise. Let's go.

Have fun.

Are we making friends?

Always. They are on their way to Ding
Darling.

You know, they've never heard of that or
been to our sea otters or knew about

the tradition of the shelves.

Well, I'm not surprised most guests do
not.

Well, now they do.

And I got friends coming back next week
to do all the fun stuff on the island.

Telling you your ideas, my charm.

It's tough to beat for customer service.

Yes, very good.

But we still have to get this report up
to Fairbank standards, especially with

Travel Town coming in. I do not want to
be called into the principal's office.

Oh, I want to show you something.

Please don't tell me you found more
damage. Oh, hang on, hang on.

Okay.

Imagine a mural of Ding Darling.

Manatees, birds, gators, turtles, you
name it. And it's all a shout out to the

refuge. I love it, but it's definitely
not policy.

Right, I get that. But this place
desperately needs something.

I think you know that.

Tourists not coming back, that's not the
hurricane's fault or yours. I think

it's stuff like this.

I know you see it.

Of course I can see it. That has been my
dream to, you know, infuse more of

Sanibel culture into this resort. Not
just with the refuge, but with the

and the food and everything that makes
this island so great.

Let's do it.

You know what? I'll call my dad right
now. Whoa, no, you cannot call your dad

a whim. The last time that I pitched
anything to him, that was a huge buck.

So you don't even want to try?

Nothing succeeds without taking chances,
remember?

Okay, that is a life -changing pitch. So
it has to be professional. We would

need to obviously schedule a meeting,
create a pitch deck, a budget analysis.

Okay, fine.

A formal presentation.

Great. I love that.

So can we at least get the ball rolling?

Okay. Okay.

Excellent. Yes. Okay, so I have a shot
list for the pitch deck and a schedule

we're going to get everything with this
lighting.

Coastline 743.

Wow,

a shot list.

Time for pictures already. Somebody is
serious about a pitch deck. If we're

going to do it, I want to do it right. I
don't want to mess this up because I

couldn't get the sunlight right or it
looked too windy.

What, you think you can control the
weather by making enough lists?

I'm confused.

I want to be thorough.

The whole point of this is to bring life
back to the sundial, show the guests

having a good time.

That means us going out on a limb and
having some fun ourselves.

I am having fun myself, thank you. Yes,
fun. Yeah, nothing says that like a

color -coded shot list.

Let me see that. No, I've worked hard on
that.

Can we just see where the day takes us?

All right. If we take too many pictures
of Wendy's shells, we'll go to the

clipboard.

Okay.

Okay, no, not of me. Of the shells,
please.

Of the shells!

Are you done?

Are you done? Really? Now I am. Okay.

You know what? That's going to be good.

Okay.

Explain to me the art of shelling.

Okay, happily.

So, you are going to find an area, scoop
out

a section,

And then make a grid so you don't scoop
in the same place twice.

What?

I'm getting shoved.

You are.

You found some good ones here.

Is that enough for a bracelet?

You're going to need the perfect one for
a bracelet. These are good to pass out,

though.

Here you go.

I am leaving.

Hey, you ever make sandcastles with
these?

They are for shelling.

Bet I can make a better sandcastle than
you.

My sandcastles, they are structurally
sound. I would destroy you. And mine are

creative, so I say we make one.

Excuse me?

Yeah.

Do you have a shell I could borrow for
my sandcastle?

I think I might.

How about... How about that one?

Perfect. Thank you. You're welcome. This
is a pretty cool sandcastle you got

here. I'm sorry, it's just going to be
washed out with tide.

That's the fun part, anyway, to come
back and build another one.

I guess you are right.

You know, you're a pretty smart kid.

I know.

Have fun.

All right.

I've changed my mind.

Sandcastle competition begins now.

Oh, bring it.

I have never seen so many shells on a
beach.

Are they worth anything a pirate might
be interested in?

Well, if you find yourself a genonia,
you will definitely have yourself a

treasure. That is rare.

Have you ever found one?

No. You don't find a genonia.

A genonia finds you. And if you're lucky
enough for one to find you, legend has

it that the sea will grant you your
heart's desire.

What would be your heart's desire?

Bring life back to Sanibel.

Everyone here deserves it. They are the
best type of people.

The best?

What about you?

No, no, no. Hard to follow up a saint.

Hey, tell me. Don't make me smite you.

Find my sweet spot again.

Write some great songs.

But something people can really feel,
right?

Music has inspired me my whole life, and
I just want to get that back and give

it back somehow.

Keep digging.

You're on the right track. No shell
necessary.

I think we have done it.

Huh?

Yeah, she looks good.

You want to smash it, don't you?

Get out of my head, please.

Oh, hey.

Well, you're still standing.

That's a good sign.

Yeah, I just hope they can get her to
light again.

She's the heart of this island. When you
see her, you just know that you're

home.

I can imagine.

Feels like I'm locked at sea most of the
time.

Well, maybe you just need a safe harbor.

The lighting is perfect right now.

Want to pull out your shot list, make
sure you got everything you wanted?

No. I am going to be where the day takes
us.

What? This is it. This is a Janonia
show.

No. Are you serious?

I cannot believe it. I have been looking
for you my entire life. That is

incredible.

You... Realize. Don't say that good
things happen when you're having fun.

would really ruin this for me. That was
my heart's desire.

Hey,

let me take a look at this. No.

I am never giving this thing up.

Well, my heart says we need to celebrate
this tonight.

To the show. To the show.

Hold it up.

This is definitely going in the pitch.
To the show. Here we go. Here we go.

I did not expect to find you at the Tiki
Bar.

Double mojito, please.

Oh, no. I have strict orders to never
serve her a mojito. She turns into a

Tasmanian devil. Hey, we were
bridesmaids. Mayhem was part of the job

description. You challenged the priest
to beer pong.

I was kidding.

Everyone knows Father Peretti is a wine
guy.

Anyway, he had fun and so did you.
That's true. Enough reminiscing. I need

to sign these community service papers
for Jamie and his friends. Yes, please

tell them thank you so much. It looks
immaculate out there.

Well, that's because we were terrified
that you'd be lurking in a corner

somewhere making sure everything was
done to code. Okay.

You were gone quite a long time today.

We went shelling.

In fact, I found the shell.

No way!

I said I know what you wish for.

For you to get some prism.

Okay, that is not fair. I actually
taught you how to dance in your call.

Before me, you had no symptoms.

Lunacy. Yeah, that's it. Yeah. Show me
your shell.

Wow. Oh, it's so beautiful.

Oh, what a day you had.

Walking the beach with a handsome man,
finding the shell of your dreams. We had

a good day.

I can tell.

He's good for you.

He is definitely not. He is like a human
tumbleweed. And besides, you know

my priority is the resort and this
island to come back to life.

Travel town, they are coming in two
weeks, and I just do not want to blow

second chance.

But maybe he's your real chance.

You've been wanting to pitch your ideas
for the resort for so long, and he

finally actually got you to do it.

I've never seen you like this. You're
practically glowing. Wait a minute.

You do look hotter than usual.

What's going on? Are you going out?

Yes. We are building a pit deck.

Right. A pit deck.

Yes. And the sundial must have changed
its wardrobe policy to lipstick and

heels, not dress. We are also
celebrating the show.

And he wanted to go to a place in town
that had the best drinks, so.

Oh.

Doc Ford?

You do like him. No.

Yeah. No, I definitely do not like him.
I like him just like I like you, you

know. You both are very likable people.

Right. Yes. Your secret is safe with me.
There is no way to tell everyone.

So a seafood fest once a week at the
Tiki Bar, and we can invite local

restaurants and get the guests involved
and have them taste some of the local

cuisine.

I know what you're thinking. Sam still
can't get his boat out. But I am making

some calls to see if we can hire a crew.

A crew?

Yeah, to clean out the debris from the
marina for Sam's boat.

It seems crazy that we can't get anyone
out there. Everyone is just so busy

right now.

Wait, Sam still can't work?

Maybe this is just all a fantasy.

I mean, every business on this island is
suffering.

And I just...

I'm not going to get a better review
that no one wants to vacation in the

of a hurricane.

We don't need a pitch deck. We need
relief.

What if we can do both?

What if we hosted a hurricane relief
concert at the resort?

Jack Mack used to always tell me music
can change the world.

So why not this island?

Do you think people would actually come?

I think people...

Need to know that a hurricane may have
knocked Sanibel down, but we're getting

back up.

I mean, we could live stream this thing,
set up online donations.

I mean, really, really showcase the
island.

That is a lot of work, and that is not
policy.

Policy, right.

Your dad, also, will not approve.

Leave him to me.

Don't stress.

Hey.

Oh, I thought we agreed to no more
dancing. Oh, I would never have agreed

that. I'm so sorry.

Mark, I really don't dance.

Sure you can.

It's easy. Just feel the rhythm.

Okay. Follow my lead. Okay.

Look at that.

You know, I want to thank you.

I did not give you enough credit when
you first got here.

But you really changed all of our lives.

Our lives?

Yeah, you know, the guests, the staff.

Oh, right. Tracy and Jamie, my dad.

Of course.

Yeah.

And what about you?

I guess me too.

You too?

Yeah. Of course, a lot of work to do.
Yes.

Well, what do you think?

Is that a yes for the concert?

I think this is exactly what Sanibel
needs.

Oh, so we're going to have a little fun.

I'm your mother's daughter.

Oh, yeah? How's that?

Well, I used to chase her all over this
place, making sure she ate.

What you working on?

Well, I am attempting to work on a pitch
deck, but I cannot focus.

It's an important thing to me, and I
just don't understand why I cannot

it. You think you might be distracted?

What is more important than this?

I can think of something.

Loving your work and caring for your
friends and community is a beautiful

okay? And I love that about you.

But?

But. I see that special sparkle in your
eyes every time I see you looking at

Mark. And that's the same spark I had
when I used to look at your mother.

Now, if you're hiding this or in denial,

That's not going to thrive with me,
okay?

We're going to have a problem.

Because in this family, we go for what
we want.

Dad, I hear you.

I really do. But, Mark, it doesn't make
sense for me. I just don't see how that

could work out.

Life is lived forward, understood
backwards.

Hey, Dad.

Thanks.

You are the best.

I know.

This is Mark.

Sorry you missed me. You know what to
do.

I hate your voicemail.

Call me.

Let me guess.

No word from Mark.

Uh, no.

But last night, I get a dozen invoices
that he signed.

along with a very huge expense for a
demo crew.

Well, I doubt he even looked at the
invoices.

Maybe the bill for Sanibel is getting
costly.

Yeah, I know.

Look, Dennis called again on behalf of
Ted Evans.

He made a sizable offer on Sundial.

It's hard to refuse.

But you know he wants that for a private
compound.

Is that really a good look for us?

If Sanibel was one of our flagships...
And it's been going slowly downhill

since.

Get a hold of Mark.

I've been trying. Yeah, well, try every
place within 60 miles that has live

music.

I'll get you another one.

Updating the specials board.

We got a new way of fixing fish sticks.

Fresh catch this morning.

Sam just dropped it off out back. Man,
that's a miracle.

I know.

Man it up, Andrew.

Mark.

It's just practice, man. I'm looking
salty.

Hey, get me a walk on that.

What's up, buddy?

Crew from National drove all night long
to clear out the arena this morning. You

hear about that?

I'm glad you got a stroke of good luck.
I don't believe in luck.

But I do believe in gratitude.

I'd like for you and Daniella here to
come down to the beach about 7 o 'clock.

Special treat from me and Tracy.

Tracy. Somebody made a big donation to
keep the education center open.

Listen here, ask some Tracy.

Tonight.

Don't you be late, you hear me?

Yes, sir.

All right, see you all there.

Mark, did you really?

Just following your lead.

Well, thank you.

I have some work to do at the resort
before tonight, but you coming?

I think I'm going to hang here and work
on a song.

Feeling inspired.

But I'll see you later.

Okay.

Hey, Andre, you got a minute?

Sure. What's up?

I wanted to talk to you about Danielle.

You're asking for my advice?

Permission to... No.

No, no, no, no, no. To write a song. To
write a song?

Come on, you don't need my permission
for that.

I want to perform it for her at the
concert, but I know how she can be, so I

really don't want to embarrass her.

Aw, Danielle will love it, man. You
good?

You got a minute?

Mind if I play a little bit of it? Make
sure it doesn't suck.

Hey, Mark.

Phone. It's Julie. She says it's
important.

Hey,

Jules. What's up?

I don't know. I was about to organize a
search party to find my missing brother.

Yeah, well, I've been busy.

Pissy, you have not returned one status
report, and then all of a sudden I get a

flood of invoices out of nowhere?

What have you been doing?

Taking care of hurricane damage.

You do know there's more down here,
though.

Sanibel is special, and we've come up
with an idea that I think is going to

this whole island.

A benefit concert at the resort.

Oh, my God.

So that's where the money went?

I cannot believe you are at it again.
You are abandoning work for music.

No, no, no, no, no. That's just it. I
didn't this time. I think I found a way

do both.

Call it off. There's no point.

Wait, what are you talking about?

Dad is selling the property.

He set up a meeting. Has a buyer
interested.

What?

Who?

Ted Evans.

He is this billionaire tech guru.

He's been after the property for years.
He wants it for his own private

fortress. Yeah, that's going to shut off
beach access to our sea otters. The

tourists won't come back.

The meetings are set.

Ted's lawyer's meeting you in three days
to tour the property.

Three days?

Yeah, that's the benefit concert.

Travel Town will be here.

Yeah, maybe you can reschedule that.
That property has been declining in

popularity for years.

Okay, it is time to pull the plug.

Besides, I canceled the Travel Town
booking.

You did what?

Yeah, it's not just for us. The whole
island is going to benefit from this

review. Well, it's not my decision.

Why do you care so much anyway?

I just didn't feel like I had a place,
but I do now.

I know how to help.

Well, I'm sorry, Mark.

But we aren't going to pay these
invoices for staging or lighting or

Travel town isn't coming. The benefit
isn't happening.

Now, can you please just make sure that
the property is up to code before the

buyer gets there? I got to go.

Good luck.

Yes, extension 1960, please.

Hey, Betsy.

Hey, it's Mark.

I'm good. How are you?

Great.

Hey, listen, I'm calling about a virtual
meeting with Dad.

Oh, he didn't tell you? Yeah, it's going
to be with Travel Town.

It should be in the next couple of days.

Do you have a slot available?

Great. Thank you, Betsy. You are the
best.

All right.

Salty.

Welcome.

From me and Tracy.

Enjoy. Thanks, buddy. Thank you.

Here, let me help you. Thank you.

Don't mind if I do.

This is magical.

I am definitely putting this in the
pitch.

To hard work.

To fun.

Thank you for...

Helping me know it is okay to break a
rule every now and then.

To anarchy, then.

You deserve to have it all.

Truly.

I feel like the sundial is really making
its comeback.

And this benefit concert is getting so
much buzz. It's just gonna change

everything.

Daniela. Thank you.

For all your hard work.

I've never been so happy.

I got you a virtual meeting with my dad.

What? Two days from now.

Are you serious?

I think you need to go full court press.
Tell him every idea you have and don't

hold back.

I thought we were going to wait to pitch
until after the benefit concert when

travel time. He had a slot open. I
figured, why not? Let's go for it.

I would need time to prepare.

Daniela, you've been preparing your
whole life. He's going to see you're

incredible. So just please take the
opportunity.

If you show him the Santa Bell you've
showed me, he'll love it.

Know it.

This is your chance.

Our chance.

All right.

Hey.

Right here.

Hey, you're going to be great.

Just highlight how amazing the benefit
concert's going to be.

Yeah, yeah, of course, but the changes
to the resort are what matter most,

though.

Sure, but the benefit...

Can be the start of all the great
changes, right?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I just hope this proves that I am a
capable manager.

I feel like we're really changing
things.

So thank you.

Excuse me.

There's a rich guy here. He said he's
with Ted Evans.

I don't have him in our system, but he
wants his rooms for free, so... I'll

handle it. I know him.

I'll be back before this starts.

Mr. Fairbanks, thank you so much for
agreeing to meet with me today. Ms.

Charles, I'm sorry I was under the
impression this meeting was with Travel

Mark actually scheduled this meeting,
but Travel Town is coming to the benefit

concert tomorrow, and I am just so
excited to tell you all about that.

Unfortunately, I'm once again called
upon to do my son's job.

Ms. Charles, we've decided to make some
changes.

So yeah, that's pretty much it. Not
looking that great.

I want to relay that to your client. It
was barely part of the property.

That looks the same.

You know what I'm going to do, though?
I'm going to put you in a five -star

resort over there in Fort Myers before
you fly out tomorrow and relay how the

tour went.

All set. Just take one of these taxis
out here. Tell them to take you to the

Pink Sands.

Thanks again, man. I can't. Fly safe.

All right. Yeah, yeah, right there.
They'll take care of you.

Hey. Hey.

Hey. You've known all this time?

How could you?

Daniela, I want you to know all I'm
trying to do is help.

Oh, no.

Benefit concert.

Benefit concert. That seems like that is
all that you care about. Never mind

your dad. He is selling the resort.

My dream job, Mark, that is coming to an
end. And this entire island is about to

suffer. But, you know, as long as you
have your big party and you get to play

your music, who really cares, right? I
know that's what it looks like. What it

looks like?

If you haven't changed at all, life is
just one big party for you. And when

things get tough, you give up.

You lied to me and your father was the
only way I could get him to have a

meeting with you. He can be set in his
ways.

Please listen to me. I knew if he heard
your ideas, he could change. This could

work. No, no. If you cared about this
place at all, you would have told me the

truth. You actually would have given me
a fighting chance. But now I can't save

it.

You think you found your place on this
island, Mark?

Well, no, you will not have a place to
come back to.

None of us will.

Daniela, I'm sorry. Yeah, yeah.

I am sorry too.

You mean to tell me they wouldn't even
listen to your presentation?

Why bother? It is over. The resort, the
island, the benefit concert.

I should have saved us.

I should have known better than to
listen to the Fairbanks Incorporated

time guy.

Are you sure his dad was right about
him?

I mean, Mark really seemed to care about
Sanibel. Renee, he's on a flight back

to Nashville. It is over.

It doesn't have to be.

I cannot keep a billionaire from buying
an island.

You can do anything but give up.

No, she's right.

You are.

just like your mother.

And we're going to show these people
that nothing is going to get us down.

Not a hurricane, not a billionaire
buying up the island, not a

damn thing.

Oh, I know that look.

Everyone. Everyone.

Let's go get him.

We just give him a different date. I
mean, that's a solve.

You can't sell Sanibel.

So now you're going to make demands of a
company you don't want to be a part of.

I want to be now.

Because I see where I belong.

Mark, I am so glad that you enjoyed your
time at the Sundial.

I really am. And I know that you were
looking forward to your concert.

But this is over.

Maybe he can help us out at another
resort. But right now, he and I are very

late for a meeting.

You know what, Julie?

I will help.

Because all of our resorts are going to
benefit from what I have to say.

So please, sit down and listen.

You've got five minutes.

That's all I need.

This is the pitch deck.

She made it perfect.

Here we go.

Too bad Travel Town's not here to see
this.

They would never call this resort boring
now. What if I told you that they are

seeing it?

What are you talking about?

I might have updated the pitch deck and
sent it to Travel Town.

And then I might have offered free rooms
to anyone who would come, which I

thought would be interns, but it happens
to be the CEO instead.

What?

That's amazing.

I know. Should I go set up a VIP area
for her? No, no. She said she wanted to

help with everyone else.

That's just what we needed.

Everything is beautiful.

It's perfect.

Perfect is boring.

It's more fun to be a work in progress.

Yes, it is.

What about Mark?

Have you heard from him?

Yep. He's called a lot, but I haven't
picked up.

Because today, it is about the sundial,
and it is about Sanibel Island. That is

it.

We got the whole island behind you.

Danielle,

what's going on? A party's outside.

I just needed a break.

I haven't told the staff about the sale
yet.

Oh, come on. That's for tomorrow.

Today, let's celebrate.

Everybody's going to be here.

Not everybody.

Maybe you're going to.

No. Not what's for the best.

I need to stay focused if I'm going to
raise enough money for the town to keep

going without the sundial.

Come on, Daniela. Don't be so hard on
yourself.

Or him.

I mean, the unexpected happens.

It's like we got hit with a hurricane.

Adversity builds strength.

Character. Okay?

Gives us a chance to see how capable we
really are.

Anything is possible.

You're right.

Let's go celebrate.

Let's get it. Okay.

I want to thank everyone that came out,
everybody that contributed.

You all are making it possible for us to
make Santa Fe Island better than ever.

And now, I'd like to bring up someone
who is very instrumental in making this

happen. I am honored, proud, and blessed
that she is my daughter. She made

everything tonight possible.

Let's give it up for Ms.

Daniela Charles!

Thank

you

all so much. I truly appreciate your
kindness, but most importantly, I just

appreciate your heart for this island,
for Sanibel.

You know, this hurricane really did a
number on all of us, but it proved that

Through adversity, it only makes us
stronger.

And no matter how many times we get
knocked down, we will always, always get

back up.

There were so many people who helped
make this concert happen. I really don't

even know where to begin to express my
gratitude, but something that I do know

is this.

When you get to call a place like this
home, anything is possible.

Please enjoy everything that Sanibel has
to offer tonight.

Thank you.

That was so good.

I think the party's over, though. I just
saw Clyde Fairbanks.

Who cares about him?

This is Sanibel's night, okay? Enjoy it.

I'd rather taste the music and get it
over with.

Thanks.

Just the woman I was speaking about.
Congratulations.

This benefit is a triumph.

Thank you.

Oh, and I had no idea the island had so
much to offer.

So we are super excited to update our
review for Sanibel Island and the

Beach Resort and Spa.

That is wonderful to hear. The community
will be so grateful, and I know this

will bring tourists back.

Well, thanks to you.

She's right, you know.

About what?

About everything.

Look around you. This resort is alive.

The guests are buzzing.

They will be guests for life.

If they had a resort to come back to.
Oh, they will.

You're not selling?

I'm willing to give Sundial a chance to
recover.

This benefit has showed me that success
is not always obtained by following the

rules.

I mean, look at you.

You violated every policy in the
handbook.

And yet, here you are, a leader.

And you created something special.

How did you know to come?

Well, when Mark showed up at the office
all buttoned up, his shirt tucked in and

his hair slicked back, I thought it was
a joke.

But he told me to sit down and listen.

So I did.

I saw your pitch, but I had to see for
myself.

We got on the first plane out.

How are you?

I think he has something to say to you.

Go, go, go, go.

You and I will talk later about
implementing your ideas at all of our

Thank you so much. I really look forward
to that. You're welcome.

Forgive me for arriving a little late.

I actually got lost coming onto the
island.

But luckily that lighthouse guided me
in, man. She's looking great.

We all need light in our lives.

For me, that's Miss Daniela Charles.

You showed me a way when I was lost.
Thank you for that.

Used to think that my destiny was
written in the stars of Music Row

but who would have known it'd be written
here in the sand, right here in

Sanibel. This one's for you.

In the waves, yeah, the tide, it was
pulling me away from what I

want to be.

Then you came and rescued me. I was out
there all alone.

Yeah, but you brought me back home like
a lighthouse.

Show me.

I hate to see this place go.

It's not.

Mark showed them my presentation.

We're taping the sundial. What?

lost in the night without you right now
take me to shore I've never

felt this before you're the only one I
need to guide me now cause baby

you're

That song was beautiful.

Especially because you sang it.

Don't give that one up.

I'm not.

That one I'm going to record myself.

Good. What changed your mind about
performing?

I finally found some inspiration.

Huh. And where did you find that?

This isn't going to end up on my face.
I'm sure it isn't.

I don't know. Did you do your lounge
chair math properly?

Touche.

It's my inspiration.

Sorry I didn't tell you.

I was really just trying to fix it.

By keeping something from everybody.

Kind of like how you threw this little
shindig here, though. Just saying.

Well, maybe we aren't so different after
all. Oh, we're plenty different.

You know, I even wore a collared shirt
tucked in.

It's torture.

I don't know how you guys do it every
day.

Well, that was some performance.

Thanks.

So you think we could have something
like that at all of our resorts?

I do. I think there's a lot of local,
talented musicians that the guests would

love. Good.

I'll order some business cards for you.

Business cards?

Yeah. You're going to need them as the
new director of music and entertainment.

Well, you can still write music and play
around Nashville.

I think there's enough for him at the
Sundial for an office.

I feel like there's some pretty good
material here already.

Well, if it's anything like the music I
heard you play tonight, I'm sure the

record companies will love it.

And congratulations to you on the
benefit.

I made a sizable contribution myself.

I won't keep you. You guys enjoy the
evening. We'll talk Monday.

Thanks.

Come

on.

Let's go for a walk.

Well, now that you are a local, you
better keep a close eye on this.

You're right.

It got lost, but thanks to you, it found
its way back home.

Well, it knows exactly where it belongs
now.

Daniela, I can't take this. This is
supposed to bring you your heart's

I already have.

in the waves yeah the tide it was
pulling me away from what i

want to be then you came and rescued me
i was out there

all alone yeah but you brought me

Take me to shore.

I've never felt this before.

You're the only one I need to guide me
now. Baby, you're my

life.

I was torn in between what I wanted and
what they wanted

for me.

But you made me believe I could live.

I'll be

right

back.

your mind.
