you

Over 600 teams competed in this year's Entrepreneurship Challenge last weekend.

I want to congratulate everyone who participated.

You represented Faraday so well, and for that, I'm giving you all a medal.

I do, however, want to congratulate two students who came in second place with

their new business idea, Dylan and Ariella.

Your matchmaking website really impressed the judges.

And you made this economics teacher and the entire student body really proud.

Congratulations, guys.

Oh,

don't forget, you have a quiz tomorrow on trade

agreements.

Bye.

Ms. Harris?

Thank you.

We were wondering if we could ask you something.

Sure. It's kind of personal.

Are you dating anyone?

The reason we ask is because we've decided to take our winning business

plan and turn it into a real matchmaking business.

Really? Yeah, we found an angel investor, my dad, and we're doing it for

real, but we need some actual people.

Single people?

Right, single people like you to beta test it for us.

Why do you assume that I'm single?

Wait, wait, you're really starting a business with a plan you created from my

class? Yeah, and with our entire budget going to R&D, we didn't have anything

left for marketing.

Exactly, so it's kind of word of mouth, at least right now.

So you want to match me? Yeah. Well, I mean, technically the algorithm we

created will be doing the matching. All you have to do is create a profile.

Please? We have 43 men and only 7 women so far. And almost no one over 18 or

under 60.

I'll think about it, okay?

Thank you.

Thank you so much, and don't worry. With our matchmaking platform, you're sure to

find the man of your dreams in no time.

Good to know.

I think you should let them match you.

What's the worst that could happen?

Tammy, I am done with dating sites.

I've been doing that for the last two years, and all I have to show is a

string of bad dates.

But you don't know anyone in Santa Barbara. It would be a really great way

to meet people.

I know you.

Um, I'm flattered. I'm taken.

Can't your husband just introduce me to some of his single friends?

Oh, and by the way, you're not my type.

What? Wait, why?

Jamie.

Jamie.

Focus on your follow through.

Come on.

Here?

Oh, well, hi.

All right.

Let's work on some labs.

Bring it in.

I suppose I could create a profile, just to show Dylan and Arielle my support.

Well, they did come up with the entire thing based on your assignment.

I'm proud of them for starting their own business.

They're good kids.

What's worse, that could happen, right?

Exactly.

Your yearbook office is in there.

Thanks. Principal Stahl says he wants me to get done today because we're printing

out your books tomorrow.

So how do I look?

Picture perfect.

Have fun.

You got to slow down your swing if you want to lob the ball.

Here's what happens if you swing too fast.

Ow!

Nice.

I'm so sorry.

Why didn't you yell incoming or heads up or something?

I didn't see you.

You okay?

Yeah, I'm fine, but my shirt isn't. Here.

No, don't rub it. You're going to make it worse.

What is this, dirt?

Yeah, from the court.

Don't worry, though. It'll come out with a little bleach.

Bleach? I can't bleach this blouse. It's silk.

Great. I'm supposed to take a picture in five minutes.

I have a t-shirt in my locker you could put on.

A t-shirt?

It's clean.

Pretty clean.

I think I washed it.

It might be a little big on you, but at least... It's fine. I'll just wear my

own clothes that fit.

Is that better?

There's one little spot where... More to the left.

Your left.

Do you mind? Please.

There. Never even happened.

Miss Harris, did you get hit with that ball?

Yes, but I'm fine. Oh, good.

Hey, did you make a decision yet about filling out that profile page?

Against my better judgment, I'll do it. Send me the link. You rock, Miss Harris.

I'll see you in class.

Cool.

In class?

Is she a sub or something? Yeah, Miss Harris is a new econ teacher that

replaced Miss Salinger, and she's way better.

Hmm.

Bottom cabinet?

Oh, Mom, I can do that after I finish these lesson plans. Why don't you come

sit down and relax?

Liz, I'm the one who convinced you to move back here and buy this place. The

least I could do is help you out. And besides, it's been like this for five

weeks. I haven't had the time with everything going on at school.

I'm sure it is hard picking up where another teacher left off.

Yeah, especially when that teacher only had five lesson plans for the whole

semester.

Liz, you've always gone over and above, sometimes to your detriment.

You know not everything you do has to be perfect.

Well, if it can be, why not, right?

Wait, is this mine?

Yes, you left it at Christmas.

Okay, well that's one mystery solved. Oh, uh, that reminds me. Do you want to

check that box over there?

Aww, are these for me?

Yes, think of it as my contribution to your successful business.

Thank you. You didn't have to do that, sweetie.

Well, I'm proud of you, Mom, for launching this new venture.

You've been wanting to do it for so long. I remember you talking about it

when I was a kid.

Did I?

Yes. It was around the time when Dad left and you baked cookies for the bake

sale at church. That lady wanted to buy six dozen for her grandson's party. You

sold them to her. That's right.

You know, I am so glad that you decided to come back.

I know you love Philly, but...

I am excited to see you every single day now that you're back in Santa Barbara.

Okay, just kidding.

Every other weekend?

I can handle that.

Okay.

The profile had a hundred

questions on it. How long did that take?

Two hours.

Now I know how they feel on their final exam.

Liz, did you see the maple fritter? I did. Thanks for the email asking what my

favorite was. That's so thoughtful of you.

Anything to make you feel welcome here. And congrats on the entrepreneurship

win. I haven't seen the students this excited about economics class in a long

time.

Maple fritter.

Have you had one?

No. You should.

They're phenomenal.

I saved you a seat.

Thanks, Gina.

But I've already got one.

So that takes care of yearbook committee. So next up is our end of the

year event, Carnival Day, where we invite the whole community to celebrate

our students and their accomplishments.

Now this is going to take place next month, the weekend before school lets

out, so I will need two of you to organize it.

Any volunteers?

I know this one is a lot of work, but it is a great way to send off the seniors.

Gina.

I've already organized three events this year.

You've definitely done your fair share.

Anyone else?

I can do it.

Thank you, Liz.

Does anyone else want to help Liz?

Ted. You haven't organized anything this year?

Or last year?

Yeah, I mean, I'd love to.

But I'm super busy with this tennis tournament coming up. Okay.

Anyone else?

I think you really dodged a bullet on that one.

You know what?

I will do it.

This is going to be the best circus day we've ever had.

Carnival day.

Same thing.

Oh, I think Tammy was about to volunteer. Weren't you, Tammy? You're

always saying how you want to organize something.

I can't. I'm already doing graduation.

I'm sorry. Okay.

Then I guess it's Liz and Ted.

Thanks, guys.

All right, let's talk about the final exam schedule.

There you are.

You rushed out of the meeting like the building was on fire.

Yeah, I have a lot to do.

Have you ever planned one of these before?

At your old school?

Where was that?

Philadelphia.

and no i've never planned one of these before have you nope it's a carnival fun

rides dunk tanks food carts what could possibly go wrong i can think of many

many things so when do you want to get together i'm free seventh period monday

sure yeah that gives me enough time to look through this binder and see what

vendors we've used in the past where'd that come from the resource room there's

a binder for every event that the school has had

We're gonna need to create one for our event when we're done with it.

You knew that, right?

Yeah, of course.

Have a good weekend.

She hates me.

Oh, I have a new message from Greg.

Okay.

Hi, I read your profile and I'd love to get the conversation going.

Okay.

I'm living, never married.

One's a company.

Not bad.

Another one?

Oren?

Pete now? Okay. Okay, slow down.

Where did Greg go?

Hey, Mom.

Hi, honey.

Listen, real quick. Your father said he's headed to your place. Make sure he

doesn't see the surprise.

Thanks, Mom. Thanks, honey.

I'm on it.

Hey pops, what brings you over?

I told your mom I was stopping by to say hi, but I really came to bring you this.

What's this?

Nice! Where'd you find all these old photos?

In the basement.

As a surprise for our anniversary next month, I thought maybe you could put

them on the computer.

Sure, I can scan these for you. She'll like that.

Thanks. By the way, how's the tennis team this year? Best I've had.

Both boys and girls.

Glad to hear it. But with you as their coach, I wouldn't expect anything else.

I appreciate that, Dad. Alright, don't tell your mom.

I won't tell her.

Have a good night.

See ya.

So what brought you to Santa Barbara?

Well, I taught at a public school in Philadelphia for six years, and I

literally just moved back this month. That's great. Welcome back.

Thanks. How about you?

Your profile said you owned a company, but it didn't say for what.

I'm sorry. I'm just noticing how healthy your hair looks. Oh, thanks.

I grew it myself.

What? That's what I thought. It's a little dry.

Excuse me?

Have you tried a CC cream with jojoba oil?

I don't know what that is.

You are in luck because I know everything about it.

Our new and improved line of products is exactly what your hair is missing.

I'm sending you an informative video on jojoba. Watch that at your leisure.

You can take any of the products with you today or sign up for our home

delivery, which is free when you get a subscription.

Will that be cash or card?

Oh, he's definitely good looking.

Wait, is this the one that was trying to sell you hair care products?

I mean, it must be really hard to try to find people to listen to his pitch.

At least he bought your cake.

And I deserved every bite of that chocolate cake.

What am I going to tell the kids?

Just tell them you weren't feeling it.

Besides, you have two other matches on there, right?

One of those guys will pan out.

I'm just not sure if I want to mix my personal life with my professional life.

Liz, what personal life?

Look, if it doesn't work out, Dylan and Ariella graduate soon anyway.

Forget about Greg. Show me the next guy.

Oh. Oh, he's cute.

Yeah. Hi, guys.

Hi. Hi.

Sorry to interrupt.

I just wanted to see if you need any help with Carnival Day.

Uh, not yet.

I haven't had the chance to meet up with Ted to talk about a plan, but we are

meeting up this afternoon.

Where?

I don't know.

Well, Ted has my number saved in his cell phone, so if you guys need anything

at all, just shoot me a text.

Bye.

Did she just make it a point to tell me that he has her number?

Gina's had a thing for Ted since he started here two years ago.

She probably thinks you're competition.

That is the one thing you does not need to worry about.

Mm-hmm.

Hey, Dylan.

What's up? I was wondering if you'd do me a favor.

As long as it doesn't involve buying candy bars.

No. See, Arielle and I started this matchmaking website, and we were kind of

hoping that we could get you... Oh, no.

I've heard about this little business endeavor y'all got going on, and my

romantic life is private.

And it's going to stay that way.

You know, a lot of the other teachers have already joined. They want to help

Arielle and I realize our lifelong dreams of becoming successful

entrepreneurs.

Please? Okay.

I'll do it.

But only because I'm your favorite teacher, and I know you'll work that

into your next conversation with Principal Stahl.

Deal? Deal.

Help me get some of these balls. Yeah.

So $2.50 for everything.

Does that include the balloon and the darts?

Great. And do the booths already come assembled?

Terrific.

Thank you.

Hey, I was just getting prices for the game rentals.

Are you sure we should let the kids throw darts?

I've seen most of them throw baseball.

There's nothing good that can come from it.

Okay.

So, do you want the good news or the bad news?

Positive vibes only.

The good news is that all of the booths are available for our date.

Perfect. Our job is done.

Where are you going?

To get a taco.

Ted.

I'm new here, and I'm really trying to prove myself.

So it's important to me that the carnival day isn't a complete disaster.

And in order to prevent that, I'm gonna need you to take this a little bit more

seriously.

There's something you should know about me.

Everything I do pretty much turns out great.

Really? Yes, really.

I find that hard to believe.

Then you'll be pleasantly surprised when I prove it to you.

Now what's the bad news?

The bad news is that the prices have gone up.

So to cover the cost increase, we're going to need to bring in 30% more than

last year.

Is there a poster in this room that can tell us how to do that?

We need to cut our costs.

Or, hear me out, we could just bring in 30% more people.

But then we would have to rent more games to accommodate the extra people,

which would bring our costs up and we need our costs to go down.

Not if we add things that aren't rented.

Like what?

Like... a raffle.

With prizes.

Employ the economic principle of opportunity cost.

It costs money for the opportunity to win a prize.

That's not what that means.

So you like the raffle idea?

Yeah. If we can get the prizes donated.

Gratis prizes on the way.

Consider it done.

Oh, um...

This booth is the most expensive of all to rent. I'm thinking we should just nix

it. Won't people miss it?

The dunk tank?

Uh, yeah.

Last year, there was a line for that 30 students long.

I have an idea.

What if we build it instead of renting it? Build it?

Like with...

With hammers and nails?

It makes more sense to build one the school can use every year than waste

money renting it over and over. I'm sure that's an economic principle of some

sort. No.

But it's a great idea if you could do it.

Let me guess, you are really great at building dunk tanks too.

I'm actually pretty handy.

And the specs are all right here, so.

But will we have enough time?

The carnival's only in four weekends.

With the both of us working on it?

I'm confident we can get it done.

Okay.

Deal.

How many questions are

there?

No brothers and sisters, just me and my mom.

Same.

I've always been really close to my mother. We try to stay involved in each

other's lives.

Aw.

Yeah, now that I'm back, I'm really looking forward to having that sort of

relationship with my mom again.

Hey, hi.

She's an only child.

I'll keep you updated.

Okay, bye.

Sorry, that was her.

When I showed her your pic on the site, she wanted to know a little more about

you. Oh.

Okay. Your profile said you like to travel. Been anywhere exotic?

Many places.

My favorite has got to be Cambodia.

I got to see Angkor Wat, which was absolutely amazing.

No way. That's on my bucket list.

You'd love it. We spent the entire day just... Hang on just a second.

Hey. Hi, Mom.

She said she's been to Angkor Wat.

Yeah, she loved it.

Mom must know how long the flight is to Cambodia?

20 hours?

20 hours.

I know.

Remember when we went to Cabo and missed our connecting flight?

Give me a minute. We're talking about Cabo.

Yeah, I was like, I had to ask, can you drink the water in the airport? Is that

safe?

Morning. Good morning.

Nice house.

Thanks.

I guess playing on tour had a few perks.

What?

Nothing.

I just... I'm used to seeing you in silk blouses.

Yeah. Well, these are the clothes I don't mind getting dirty.

Okay, so I brought my cordless drill, paintbrushes, and a miter saw. I wasn't

sure if you were going to have one.

Okay.

Having two will definitely help.

Okay, I'll go grab it.

All right.

We're going to run out of blue paint.

I see him in the garage.

Pop the shelf to the right.

Wow.

66 Mustang.

It's gorgeous.

Did you restore it yourself?

For my dad.

It's an anniversary gift for me and my mom.

They went on their very first date in a car just like this 42 years ago.

Such a great gift.

It will be.

If I can finish it before their party.

When's that?

Next month.

But there's a part I cannot seem to find.

I've literally looked everywhere for it. Which part?

The gear shift handle. Well, what's wrong with the one right there? It's

perfect to me.

My dad's was silver.

This one is wood grain.

Do you think he'll care?

Probably not.

But I do.

I want every single piece to look exactly the same.

If I'm going to go through this much work, I take shortcuts.

Didn't picture you as such a perfectionist.

Why not?

Well, your socks don't match for one.

I

think we made

some real good headway.

If teaching doesn't work out, we could start a dunk tank manufacturing

business. Ship these things worldwide.

Where'd you teach before fair day?

A tennis club.

I gave private lessons.

Oh.

Why'd you leave a ritzy club to teach high school students?

I started to get bored with it.

Students were all willing to pay for expensive lessons to get good at the

sport.

Sounds absolutely awful.

Any tennis pro could help them do that.

I thought it would be more fun to get kids who had never played before excited

about the game of tennis.

The straight-A students, they're easy.

It's the kids that struggle that need a really skilled teacher.

Without one, they may miss an opportunity they never knew they had.

That's a really good point.

Yeah.

What about you?

Do you always want to teach?

Yes.

Originally, I wanted to be an elementary school teacher.

Then I went to college.

And I just... I fell in love with economics.

And I wanted to teach that subject specifically.

Six-year-olds don't care about the Consumer Price Index?

Not as much as you'd hope.

Well, should we clean this up?

I'll do it.

You sure?

Yeah.

I'll store everything in the garage.

We can pick up where we left off next weekend.

All right.

Thanks for the pizza.

My pleasure.

Good night.

Good night, Liz.

Just tell Courtney to call me back, please.

It's regarding a raffle.

Thanks.

Bye.

Hey, buddy.

What's up?

Hey, Coach.

I just want to let you know that I'm quitting the team.

Why?

I'm just not very good at tennis.

Or any sport, pretty much.

That's not true. You've improved a ton since the start of the year.

I know, but I don't think it's enough.

I'm just not athletically inclined.

Listen, if what you're saying is true, I'd be honest with you and tell you

you're wasting your time.

But what you're saying isn't true.

And if you stick with it a little longer, I'm sure you'll surprise

yourself. As a favor to me, give it another three weeks.

You won't regret it.

We'll see.

Please just be a little person, Pete.

Well, what do you think?

Looks pretty good to me.

But is it functional?

Won't know until we try it out.

Shall we?

Let's do it.

Okay.

Oh.

Ouch.

I was just warming up.

This is the one.

Somebody obviously didn't play softball in high school.

One more. Here we go.

Yes! Okay.

I guess third time's a charm.

Let's see what you got, Hotshot.

Okay.

You ready for this?

Mm-hmm.

Looks like nobody's getting dunked.

Bullseye!

You didn't really think I'd miss that two times in a row, did you? Do you ever

stop telling people how great you are?

Only when I'm telling them how great they are.

Hold on.

Ooh, I gotta take this.

Okay.

Hello? Ted, hi, it's Courtney.

Courtney, hey.

I've missed you. I've missed you, too.

Have you been back to the club at all since everything that happened with...

No. I, uh... I haven't been back.

Well, your message said you're in need of raffle prizes, and I can help you

out. I knew I could count on you. How about three cases of last year's

vintage, including our limited release cab?

You're incredible.

Please. It's the least I can do after you spent all that time fixing my car.

I was happy to. One condition on the wine, though. You need to come get it

yourself. It's been a long time since you've been up.

Even better.

Thank you so much.

Wednesday's a school holiday.

How's that work?

Wednesday's perfect.

Okay. I'll see you then.

Hey.

Is that your girlfriend?

No. I used to teach court and tennis.

You like wine?

Wine? She owns a winery in Santa Ynez, and she's donating a few cases.

You want to go with me on our off day?

Pick them up?

Maybe do a little wine tasting?

I haven't been to a winery in ages.

Is that a yes?

Yeah, that's a yes.

So these vines are our Syrah grapes.

That's what we're drinking, right? Yes, it is.

Syrah's a young wine, so we don't age them beyond three years.

What fruit flavors do you taste?

Mmm.

Um, plum and cherry?

Yeah.

And, uh, blackberry?

It's kind of spicy, too.

I like it.

Syrah grapes contain the same flavor compound found in peppercorns, so it

pairs well with lamb, steak, braised beef, and if you reduce it, it makes a

great demi-glaze. I had no idea. That's fascinating.

Right up here is where we have our smaller weddings.

Oh, I love it.

If you'll excuse me, I have an issue that I have to take care of. How about I

meet you back in the tasting room in 15 minutes?

We'll be there.

Thanks for the tour.

I can totally see why people pick this spot to get married.

So serene.

It'd be nice to live out here, wouldn't it?

A dream come true.

Can you imagine waking up to this every morning?

Drinking coffee, watching the sun rise over the vineyard.

Sitting on a lawn chair at night, sipping wine, maybe counting the stars.

Listening to the crickets.

So where do you see yourself in 10 years?

Good question.

Still teaching at Faraday, spending my weekends and summers traveling.

Hopefully, someone who likes to do the same.

Where would you like to go?

Wimbledon.

Indian Wells.

French Open?

I think those are tennis tournaments.

Yes, but I do hear Paris has a few other things to offer as well.

What about you?

What's your life look like 10 years down the road?

Similar to yours, except not watching tennis. Maybe doing something a little

bit more exotic.

Exotic? Okay.

Exotic like diving with sharks on the Great Barrier Reef, or exotic like, I

wonder if there's guava in this cocktail?

Um, I'm down for both.

I'll watch from the boat.

Okay.

This place is pretty amazing, right?

Mm-hmm.

You ever think about getting married?

Yeah, definitely.

To the right person.

Is that funny?

Oh, no, no. I recently just answered that question on a questionnaire I did

not too long ago.

Wait. Dylan and Ariella's matchmaking site?

They got you, too?

Yes, but it's impossible.

I gave up halfway. Did you go on any dates? Two really awful coffee dates.

How awful?

It's too traumatic.

Really? Yeah. That bad?

Mm-hmm.

I can't imagine anyone having a bad date with you.

Thanks.

We should probably head back.

Courtney might be waiting.

Okay.

This is our 2016 red blend.

It's a mix of our grapes and grapes from a winery in Napa Valley that we

processed and aged it here.

Yeah. Thank you. Enjoy.

All right, where should we start? Okay, let's start with this first, and then

after we finish, we can enjoy the wine. Okay.

Okay, so for the ring toss, I'm thinking we get stuffed bears for the winners,

but I'm wondering what we should do for the consolation prize, and how many

should we order?

Consolation prizes?

Yeah, for the people that miss, which I feel like will be 90%. If they don't

throw a ring on the bottle, they get nothing.

They didn't complete the task.

So you don't want to give out anything to the people that miss?

Constellation prizes go against a very spirited competition.

The point of playing is to win a prize.

Win is the operative word there. Yeah, the people that win get the better

prize. They get the bear.

Then what motivates them to try again? They already won a prize.

The bear.

So you admit they'd rather have the bear than one of these... I don't even know

what that is.

Is that a charm bracelet?

No, it's a keychain.

I think, and...

Obviously, people would want to win the bear.

I mean, maybe it's a lunch tag.

Then why give it to them at all?

So they don't feel bad? But they're going to feel bad anyway.

Because A, they didn't win the bear.

And B, they failed.

And there's nothing wrong with that. It's what makes them try harder the next

time. No, that's not true.

We should be rewarding them for putting themselves out there.

Please tell me you're kidding.

No, not at all. I mean, I gave a medal to every one of my students that

participated in the entrepreneurship challenge, even though not all of them

won.

You really want the kids to buy a ticket and go home with nothing? I want them to

leave with a bear, but that's not going to happen for everyone.

Look, I get the whole second place is first loser mentality, but this is

Carnival Day. It's supposed to be fun.

It's not the Australian Open.

Thanks for taking me up there today.

You're welcome.

I feel like you're still mad about the keychain thing. They're luggage tags.

And I'm not upset.

If you really feel that strongly about it, it's fine.

Okay.

You sure you don't want me to keep the wine in my place?

I'm sure.

Problem's I won't drink it all.

I'll take care of it.

All right.

Good night.

Good night.

Thanks, Giovanni.

I owe you one.

Ted? Hey, Gina.

Hi.

Tennis team looks good.

Yeah. I should probably go check on them.

Wait. I heard you're doing a raffle for Carnival Day. My sister works at a spa,

and I'm sure she'd donate a gift basket or something.

That'd be terrific.

Thank you. No problem.

I'll bring it by your house on Saturday evening.

Drop me a pin with your address.

You really don't have to do that.

I'll come by your classroom on Monday.

And risk something happening to it in a way.

I think I may have accidentally deleted your number. I have yours.

I'll shoot you a text.

That works.

I guess.

Smells good in here.

Honey, you look beautiful.

Really? You don't think it's too much?

This guy's going to be drooling the moment he sets eyes on you. Thanks for

that visual, Mom.

I don't know.

After those last two coffee dates, I'm wondering if it's worth all this effort.

Well, didn't this guy ask you out for dinner instead of just coffee? I mean,

that bodes well, in my opinion.

Yeah, I guess you're right.

Well, these look amazing.

Well, I still can't believe that the coffee shop doubled their order.

I'm not surprised in the slightest.

Look at you go, you little entrepreneur.

What about your dinner?

For one of your cookies, I could cheat.

Mmm.

Remember you used to bake these for me when I was a kid and I had a bad day?

Put a smile on your face every time.

Okay, you better get going. Bye.

So what's your favorite thing about being

an educator?

Good question.

This is going to sound so cliche, but I just love having a positive impact on

kids.

And I know I only spend an hour a day with them, but I just feel like I'm

really helping mold their future.

I had a teacher in high school who made a real difference.

She's actually the reason I became an architect.

Really? How so?

Well, for this class project, she had us... Hi.

Can you tell Giovanni that Ted's here, please? Sure.

Oh, my God. Do you really said that? In front of the entire class.

Ted. Liz. Hey, what a coincidence.

I saw you, so I thought I'd say hi.

Hey, Ted.

Nice to meet you. Pete.

Is that the pescatoria?

It is.

That's the best thing on the menu.

The red pepper flakes give it a nice kick, huh? Is that what I'm tasting?

Yeah, it's delicious.

This place is the best. My parents are having their anniversary party here in a

couple weeks.

Are you here to eat?

Me? No.

I'm just picking up some gift cards.

I thought they'd make a good raffle prize. Are they donating that?

Yeah. I used to play tennis with the owner, Giovanni. He's a great guy. Oh,

that is awesome.

Oh, Ted is also a teacher at Fair Day. We are organizing the end of the year

carnival day together.

That sounds like something my nephew would enjoy.

It's going to be amazing.

What do you teach? Phys Ed, and I also coach tennis.

Are you certified by the National Bureau of Tennis?

Yep. I actually played on tour for five years, and then I hurt my shoulder, so I

taught for a few years at Park Club.

Really? I live right down the street from that club. I'm actually thinking of

joining. Park's not the only good club.

There's a lot in Santa Barbara.

What level are you?

Level? I can get to the ball no problem and keep a rally going.

I guess I have trouble placing shots.

If you follow ITR program standards, you're probably 3.5.

What you need is someone to help you focus on control and depth of ball and

also increase your repertoire of shots.

Exactly. How's your net play?

Non-existent. What about your serve? Good. I can put a spin on it, but on the

return, I'm just reacting.

Excuse me. Oh, here you go.

I would focus on precision and variety.

Then you can actually employ strategies and instead of your opponent setting the

pace, you will.

I think you're absolutely right.

Excuse me, I need to go to the restroom.

Yeah, sure.

Sorry.

Sorry.

Okay, so what stroke should I work on first?

Hey, partner.

I have some good news.

I spoke with the owner at Victory Times Sporting Goods. She's donating five

soccer balls to our raffle.

Great.

I used to teach your son at the tennis club.

Super nice lady.

Thank goodness for your vast knowledge of tennis.

Is everything okay?

Peachy. Just like that gelato the three of us shared yesterday.

That. I said we could share the tiramisu instead.

It's not about the dessert, Ted. It's about the whole dinner.

What do you mean?

Never mind. Don't worry about it. No.

What?

Please, tell me what I did.

This was the first good date I've had since I moved here. And you hijacked it.

You sat down and you turned it into the TED Talks tennis show.

That was a date?

I didn't realize.

Two people, nice restaurant, all dressed up.

At the winery.

You made it seem like you'd gotten fed up with bad dates and weren't seeing

anyone. I thought he was just a friend.

Besides, he didn't seem like, you know, your type.

My type?

Okay, Ted, you tell me what my type is.

Nice looking, athletic, tall, charismatic, athletic, smart?

You said athletic twice.

And Pete is all of those things.

He didn't even know about the pepper flakes on the pescatore.

I have to go.

Look, I'm sorry, okay?

I saw you sitting there in the blue dress, which is a great color on you, by

the way.

And I just wanted to say hi and tell you about the gift cards.

But you're right.

I shouldn't have sat down.

I appreciate the apology.

Are you going to see him again?

I don't know.

We didn't discuss it because you walked us to the valet so the two of you could

exchange numbers.

Do you want me to call him for you?

I could.

No.

The prizes were delivered.

They're in the storage room.

We should get together and sort them.

Yeah, of course.

I'll look at my schedule.

Okay.

Hello? Liz, hi.

It's Pete. Hey, how are you?

I'm good.

I was down in LA this past week for work, but I'm back now, and I wanted to

let you know I really enjoyed our dinner.

Thanks. So did I.

If you're free tonight, I thought maybe we could catch a movie?

Yeah, that sounds fun.

Great. Text me your address. I'll pick you up at 7. Okay, will do.

Please tell your mom thank you for me. Oh, she was happy to do it. I hope your

grandmother likes snickerdoodles.

That woman has a sweet tooth like no one else.

But she is turning 90 tomorrow, so who am I to judge her diet?

So, date number two tonight, right?

More like 1.2, the redo.

You, uh, didn't invite Ted to tag along, did you?

Um, no.

How is Circus Day coming along?

Is he pulling his weight?

He actually is.

He's got a lot of good ideas and he follows through.

Wow. Well, maybe underneath that incredibly annoying air of confidence,

there's a real human being after all.

Thank you.

I'll see you tomorrow? Yeah.

Have fun.

Thanks. Bye.

So your meeting in LA went well? It did.

And I got to see my uncle when I was down there.

He's pretty busy with his show starting this weekend, but we got lunch. Oh, is

he an actor?

Niall? No, no.

He organizes a huge auto show at the convention center every year.

Oh, really?

Yeah, it's like a thousand cars. It's so much work. I don't know how he does it.

This is kind of random, but do you think he might know where I can find an

original silver gearshift handle for a 66 Mustang?

that's really specific i know um probably i mean he knows a lot of people

who restore cars i could just give you his phone number oh that'd be great

thank you yeah

so did you get up to anything else in l.a any

sightseeing not really a sightseeing guy kind of hate places where there are so

many people oh Well, what about the Griffith Observatory? That place is so

cool. I love constellations. Me too.

But if you've been to an observatory, you've kind of seen them all.

The Big Dipper looks the same now as it did 500 years ago, right?

I guess.

I was going to go wine tasting in Temecula.

But the drive, it's like an hour and a half.

Who wants to be in traffic that long? Thank you.

I just hung around the hotel and watched movies.

Hey, it started.

What's in this?

Your guess is as good as mine.

I found it in the storage closet.

Oh, well, is it, uh...

in the forecast that it's going to rain? Because if so, I am ready.

Actually, I hate to burst your bubble, but there is zero chance

of rain today.

Okay, well, good,

because this hair does not do well in the humidity.

You're in luck.

Because... Don't you worry about a thing, little lady.

We can fix that at the hair saloon.

That is too cheesy.

What? That was pretty funny.

Wait.

I have a good one for you.

A magician's hat.

You're full of surprises.

Miss Harris.

Coach Packerson.

Ariella! What are you doing in here?

I accidentally left my backpack.

We were just sorting prizes for Carnival Day.

Are you planning on going?

It's going to be a lot of fun this year.

Yeah!

Did you ever get that gear shift handle for your dad's car?

Party's next weekend, right?

Nope. I've been so busy with this I haven't had time to call around.

Or scan the photos.

Photos?

My dad has photos of him and my mom he wants me to scan so they can play in a

loop at the party.

I can do that for you.

I have a color scanner at home.

Really? They're in my truck.

Okay.

Thank you.

This helps a lot.

It is no problem.

I'm starving.

Do you want to grab a bite?

Yeah, sure. Why not?

There's a great souvlaki spot five minutes away.

Do you like Greek?

I love it.

Everything okay?

Yeah, it's just Gina got a gift basket for the raffle and wants to bring it to

me.

Oh.

I'll just ask her to bring it to us at the restaurant.

You know what?

Let's just grab dinner another night.

I'm sure Gina wants to stay and chat.

That's what I'm afraid of.

I'll see you on Monday.

Yeah.

Hi,

you've reached Niall with the LA Auto Expo. Please leave me a message.

Niall! Hi, this is Liz Harris calling.

I got your number from your nephew Pete.

I'm looking for a car part for a 66 Mustang and I was hoping you could help

me. Thanks.

Hey, Gina.

Voila. Isn't it terrific?

Wow. Yeah.

There's even a robe in there.

And soft slippers.

Again, thanks so much for getting this. And please, tell your sister thank you

as well.

I will.

She'd love to meet you.

Actually, I'm having a few friends over tomorrow night for drinks.

You're welcome to come.

That's a great invitation.

But unfortunately...

I have a project I need to finish for my parents' anniversary.

That's fine.

Some other time, maybe.

Maybe.

How about tonight?

For what?

Drinks.

And appetizers.

You know what?

Tonight's not a good night, either.

The anniversary's coming up quick, and... I really just need to finish this

project. Oh.

All right.

Well...

Maybe once that's over we can find time

Gina

I'm not sure it's a good

idea for us to meet up outside of school.

I Like to keep my business and personal life kind of separate

Okay. I hope that doesn't hurt your feelings in any way.

No.

I completely understand and respect that.

Thanks for dropping the saw.

I appreciate it.

Not a problem.

Good night.

Yeah, man, the tennis team's great this year. We're definitely going all the

way.

Ariella, hey. We have an issue. The algorithm doesn't work. What do you

mean? I saw Coach Packerson and Miss Harris sorting prizes in the gym Friday

night. They clearly like each other.

They were super flirty, trying on weird hats and laughing.

I couldn't see them together.

Me too, and that's the problem.

They're both on the website, but the algorithm didn't match them.

Are you sure? Completely.

I'll look into it.

I got your text. Hey, come in.

There are some great photos in here.

I especially like the ones of you and your dad.

He was a pretty decent tennis player in his time.

Thanks so much for doing this.

What? Was there an embarrassing photo in there?

I thought he pulled those out.

I have a gift for you.

Thank you.

Are you serious?

A silver gear shift handle?

That's the right one, isn't it?

Yes.

I can't believe it.

Where'd you find this?

A guy in Utah had it.

I'm blown away that you would do this.

I took the full of surprises thing to heart.

How much was it? I'll reimburse.

My gift.

Would you want to come to the party with me?

Oh.

Um, are you sure?

Positive.

I want you to come.

Okay.

Yeah, that'd be fun.

Great.

You did a fantastic job with the party.

And the slideshow is perfect.

That is all Liz.

Happy anniversary, Mr. Packerson. Thank you, Liz. We really appreciate you.

Honey, the Joneses have just arrived.

Excuse us.

Your parents are so nice.

They seem to really like you.

You want to sit?

Sure.

Let me get that for you.

There you go.

This is great, right?

Yeah.

40 years.

Wow. Thank you. I know.

I kind of feel bad my mom will never experience anything like this.

Your parents are divorced?

Yeah. My dad left when I was six.

I'm sorry to hear that.

It's fine.

She's better off.

It's hard to be with someone that's not always... honest.

That is true.

Honesty is the most important thing in a relationship.

Your mom never remarried?

No.

She raised me completely on her own.

Sometimes we didn't even have a sitter, so she would take me to work with her.

Where was that?

A bookstore.

She used to get me this beanbag chair.

And I would curl up behind the counter where no one could see me.

I swear I read like every book in the children's section.

I could see you doing that.

Well, she sounds like a great mother.

She still is.

I like

this song. Me too.

Would you?

You wanna... Okay.

Liz, can you excuse me for a minute?

I guess the chef has a question about the cake. No problem.

I'll be right back.

Take your time.

Hi, welcome.

You're very handsome in your tie, Bailey.

Hi.

Reservation Fajima? Two people?

My mom's treating me to a fancy dinner since I got a lease. Nice.

Okay.

Right this way.

You coming, Mom?

Uh, go ahead and sit down, sweetie. I'll be there in a minute.

I was just on my way to the ladies' room.

Liz, you look really nice.

Are you here with Ted?

Yeah.

No, I'm not with him, with him. He just invited me. It's not like we're together

or anything.

Liz, honey, come with me. It's like you need our neighbors.

I'll see you later, Gina.

Oh, I had a good time.

Did you have a good time? I had so much fun. How about that cake? It was great.

You look beautiful.

Thank you, sweetheart.

Thanks for coming, folks. Happy anniversary.

What a wonderful party, huh? All right. It was great.

You know what to do.

Can you believe we've been married 40 years?

I can't believe it. Best 40 years of my life.

Olivia, look.

That's a 66.

Someone's done a beautiful job restoring it. I was hoping you'd say that.

Huh?

Happy anniversary, sweetie.

Are you serious?

Ted spent the last year restoring it for you.

Oh, man.

Thanks, champ. You deserve it, pops.

Aw, congrats.

Thank you.

Love you, babe.

Oh, my gosh.

Is it really mine?

It's all yours.

Why don't you guys take it for a spin?

Liz and I can take your car.

Let's go, Olivia.

She's a beauty.

Enjoy.

He's so happy.

It's exactly the same.

I know.

Thanks for coming.

My pleasure.

I don't think it could have made your dad any happier than he was tonight.

Yeah.

What?

Oh, good. You're home.

I couldn't log into my Netflix, and you said you were going to be on your date.

This isn't a date, Mom.

Well, I fell asleep on the couch and missed half of it anyway.

Ted, is it?

Nice to meet you.

Betty, nice to meet you, too.

Well, it looks like you had a nice time, and I don't want to interrupt, so I'm

just going to...

slip right past you and say goodnight.

Love you, honey.

Goodnight. Night.

She calls everything a date. Tammy and I go shopping and it's a date.

Yeah.

I'll, um... I'll see you on Monday.

Yeah.

Goodnight.

Do you have a minute? Sure. What's up?

It's none of my business if you and Ted are romantically involved.

Oh, we're not.

Good. Again, none of my business.

You seem really nice, and I just wanted to tell you to be careful with him.

He's not always honest.

About what?

Did he tell you he quit the tennis club to come work here with kids?

What do you mean?

Was he fired?

It's amazing what you can find online.

Oh, Gina was right.

Ted didn't quit the tennis club. He was fired.

It's according to his blog post by a previous student.

Well, what for?

It doesn't say. He's complaining that Ted was let go.

So much for honesty is the most important thing.

Why didn't he just tell me that?

Instead of making up that stuff about inspiring students who wouldn't have the

opportunity otherwise.

Well, he obviously didn't want you or anyone else to find out about it.

Why don't you leave a ritzy club to teach high school students?

I'm starting to get bored with it.

Remember the follow-through.

Good job.

Everybody keep doing what you're doing.

You know, just do it better.

Liz!

Hey.

Hey.

One more item for the raffle came through.

A gift card from that new sushi place on State Street.

Want to come with me and check it out tonight?

I got a lot of work to do. Tomorrow night?

Everybody says the Chirashi bowls are huge.

Ted I think it's best if we focus on the rest of the carnival stuff on our own

Oh Yeah,

sure

I got matched with Liz?

There's nothing wrong with the algorithm. Ms. Harris and Coach

Packerson are a perfect match.

Are you sure?

They're both acting so weird.

I saw them in the library and they completely ignored each other.

I kept looking at the code and I couldn't figure out what was wrong. Then

this morning I decided to look back at the history before last night Coach had

only completed half of his questions.

And we set it up that incomplete profiles don't get matched. Exactly.

What could have happened?

They were getting along so good, even the website says they're right for each

other.

Oh, hey, sorry.

Liz, did I do something to upset you?

I'm sensing a chill.

I'm not upset.

Look, obviously we work really well together. I just think we should keep

things professional.

I need to get to my next class. I'll see you Saturday, okay?

If Ted could lie about that, what else is he not telling me?

Well, maybe he had a good reason.

For not telling the truth? Is there such a thing?

It's a sign from the universe that I was getting too close.

Maybe it's a sign that you really like him.

You rarely get this upset.

I can't believe you're defending him.

After all the lies Dad told you when you were married, I saw how badly that hurt

you. You don't forget about that.

Yes, honesty in a relationship is very important, but you two aren't there yet.

For some people, it can be really hard opening up about past mistakes,

especially to someone they're still getting to know.

Look, if you're honest with him about what you've discovered, then maybe he'll

be honest with you too.

Are you expecting someone?

No.

Surprise. Pete, hi.

is this your mom yes betty hi nice to meet you mrs harris you too i'm gonna go

take care of the food upstairs before it burns i hope you like alstroemerias i

thought you might because the same kind of flower you have on your purse i love

alstroemerias thank you this is so sweet i enjoyed our last date especially

because it was just the two of us and i was wondering if you wanted to see a

movie again this weekend peep

This is really sweet, but... I gotta be honest with you.

Uh-oh.

I have a feeling you're about to tell me I'm a great guy, but... You are a great

guy, but... I just feel like things aren't really lining up between us.

At least, not for me.

I... I understand.

Keep them.

Are you sure?

I'm allergic to pretty much all flowers.

I Wish you the best You too

I don't know where the deal is, Dad.

So that's it.

She starts acting distant. You just ignore it. What do you want me to do

about it?

She wants it to be professional.

We'll keep it professional.

You seemed a little more friendly than co-workers at the party.

Yeah. Well, I'm not some desperate puppy dog that's going to beg her to tell me

what I did wrong.

What? I'm not.

That's your pride talking.

Pride. Self-worth.

You can call it whatever you want.

I did my part.

I asked what was wrong.

She doesn't want to tell me.

That's on her.

So that's just it?

Maybe she'd be a little more open with you if you were a little more open with

her. I have been open.

So you told her straight up that you have feelings for her?

No.

Why not?

Because I don't.

Even if I did like her, I'm not going to chase her.

That's what you said about the tennis club That was different was it

Some things are worth chasing and fighting for So if your pride stopping

you from seeing those things, maybe it's time to tell your ego to step aside

That night in California, light skies, heavy ice, and the

truth.

Do I miss you? Just tell me what I know. I can't breathe

her in me without a tune.

Let's go.

Put it right down the middle.

There you go.

That's okay.

Rotate your shoulder.

Okay.

One more.

Picture it going right through the hole.

Okay.

I'm just as bad at skee-ball as I am at tennis.

You know what this is?

A charm bracelet?

A luggage tag, I'm pretty sure.

Will it help me travel through time and not play this game?

You mean like all the other people out there who don't take chances?

It's a prize you get not for losing, but for trying.

It's easy to try something you know you're good at.

There's no risk in that.

It's a lot harder to put yourself out there and try something you're not good

at. It takes courage.

Thanks, Coach.

Whoa.

You don't get to keep it if you're going to give up.

Huh?

I'm here all night.

Just like we talked about on the tennis court.

Focus on your follow-through.

You got this.

I did it!

Best throw I've seen all night.

There you go.

Oh, um... Could I have the luggage tag, too?

Really?

Sure.

Without this one, I wouldn't have gotten this one.

Good work.

Thanks.

There's Coach Backerson.

And there's Miss Harris.

Here you go, honey.

Are you ready?

Let's do it.

Here you go, girls.

Have fun.

Miss Harris, someone needs your help at the photo booth. They said it took their

money but didn't take their picture.

Really?

You can go watch your booth. Thank you. Yeah.

Coach. Hey, Dylan.

Having fun?

Definitely. Listen, I think they need your help over at the photo booth.

Someone put their money in and it's not working.

I'll go check it out.

Mr. Perrone, can you watch the booth for me? Sure.

I'll be right back. Okay.

Is there something stuck in it?

Uh, I can't really tell.

No, nothing's stuck in there.

Maybe it's the photo paper?

Could just be the camera.

Do you want to try it? Do you have a dollar?

Yeah.

Do you know what you're doing?

Not really, but... The guy that delivered it said you could reset it

like this, so... Have you tried turning it off and turning it on?

No.

Whatever I did to upset you, I'm sorry.

I've really enjoyed spending time with you these past few weeks, and...

I've started to care about you.

A lot.

Then why did you lie to me?

You told me you quit the tennis club, but you were fired.

How'd you find that out?

I know it's not the point, but I'm just curious.

Gina tipped me off.

And I found this blog post online.

When I first got here, Gina found that same blog post and confronted me about

it.

I explained everything to her as well. But what is there to explain?

What did you do to get fired?

Nothing.

I'd been at the club for five years, and my students loved me.

And I loved them.

As a matter of fact, I built the program up so much, they decided to bring on

another teacher.

They found this guy, Rick.

He was young, hungry, hot off tour, and they hired him.

Okay.

He was a great teacher.

He was also great at marketing himself and offering my students classes on my

off days.

Within a few months, my client list shrunk and his had grown.

So they fired you for that?

Not exactly.

I thought they should have had my back.

After five years of giving my best and them seeing proof of what he was doing,

I thought they'd let him go.

They were very clear that he was bringing in so much money, they had no

intention of doing that.

So I quit.

In a semi-dramatic way.

Hmm.

So you weren't fired?

Nope.

But Rick made sure everyone thought I was.

Why did you tell me you wanted to teach high school kids? Why didn't you just

tell me the truth?

I didn't want you to think I was a subpar teacher.

That all the students would rather learn from Rick than me.

Please.

I've seen you with these kids. You're an incredible teacher.

True.

But you wouldn't have known that four weeks ago.

I could tell in the staff meeting that you were hoping someone else would

volunteer.

I'm really sorry about that.

You turned out to be a way better partner than I expected.

And I'm also sorry about that guy, Rick, and what he did to you.

You know what?

I'm not.

I love the students here so much, and looking back, it wasn't completely

Rick's fault.

I've become complacent.

Part of me felt I was so good that I didn't get to try anymore.

I don't buy that.

You are the most competitive person I know.

Being competitive and trying to win, that's one thing.

Fighting for what you want and being willing to put your ego aside, that's

something else.

I'm sorry I didn't tell you what really happened.

I should have been honest and let you form your own opinion.

Well my opinion of you wouldn't have changed because I would still think you

were annoying and cocky But

Someone who I've really enjoyed spending time with

oh my gosh that's hilarious i

guess it's working now

there was never a problem with it was it sorry i gotta take this

that's my mom

since

we're being honest

I have not been able to get you out of my mind.

What about Pete?

I ended that.

Pete's a really nice guy. He's just not what I was looking for.

What are you looking for?

Someone who's smart and athletic and funny, sweet, athletic.

You said athletic twice.

Did I?

Yeah.

Gina.

I just came over here to apologize for any problems I might have caused.

I was watching from over there, and I always thought we had chemistry.

But it's pretty clear you have it with Liz.

Apology accepted.

Great job on all of this.

Thanks. Thanks, Gina.

Yeah.

Should we take a little walk around? Make sure everything's going okay?

It's a carnival. What could possibly go wrong?

I'm so sorry.

It's okay.

Oh.

What's your name? I'm Gina.

I'm one of the teachers here. I'm here with my son Bailey.

Pete, I'm here with my nephew. He spent the last half hour throwing darts at

balloons. Well, I was just headed to that booth myself.

Can I walk you?

Definitely. Okay.

So you're a teacher here?

Yeah. Might have to buy you more popcorn.

Want me to win you a bear?

Really? What if I wanted to win you a bear?

I have no doubt that you could.

Let's just split an ice cream instead.

What flavor?

Strawberry.

Strawberry. That's my favorite.

Another thing we have in common.

Like traveling?

And maple fritters.

You like those too?

Yes.

Drinking a good Syrah and teaching kids?

Not at the same time, of course.

No.

I think we make a good match.

So do I.

I've got a little surprise for you outside.

Let's check it out.

Pretty good turnout.

Not bad for our first carnival.

So what do you want to show me?

Look up.

Surprise.

this is the perfect ending or maybe it's just the beginning
