[Music]

doing great maggie

we're almost all done how are you gonna

fit a whole festival

in your front yard well hopefully one

day it'll be big enough to spread across

town and into my candy shop

but for now this is what we call a trial

run

what's a trial run well sometimes when

you want to try something big

you have to start small you know what

else is small

did i say you could have one before

lunch you didn't say i couldn't

mm-hmm where's your sister jody

auntie look what i found

cool what is it it's a music box

my parents gave it to me you want to

hear it yeah

listen girls this is my favorite

[Music]

come on guys let's get the blueberry pie

[Music]

so

i'm sorry i'm late there's endless calls

this morning

so she here yet not yet so tell me again

why are we meeting her here

like i told you i got some intel and

this is her favorite bistro of

minneapolis

and she's all about local business right

so what better place

to close the deal than her favorite

local restaurant

that is good thinking and it's a

beautiful day

here comes ella is it

don't look so excited why not i spent

three months putting this deal together

investment brokers are supposed to have

a good poker face where

exactly in the investor manual does it

say that hi

hi hi i'm so sorry i'm late

my sister just went into labor i'm gonna

be an aunt

wow thank you i hope i haven't kept you

waiting long not at all family comes

first right

right

should we start yes so you know how

thrilled i am

to be expanding ella's pumpkin patch

from small town store

to big time franchise and our investors

are chomping at the bit

to bring ella's two bite pumpkin pies to

the world if you'll pardon the terrible

pun

it is gonna be quite a ride

[Music]

[Music]

inventory is my job dex plus it gives me

a chance to snack while i work

kidding we both know you're not doesn't

a farm keep you busy enough you're doing

extra work to distract yourself aren't

you i'm doing extra work because the

festival starts tomorrow oh

so it has nothing to do with heather

what

are you sorry no heather and i didn't

even date long enough for me to need a

distraction

dex and i say this as your friend you

can be a closed book

what does that mean means you're as

bottled up as that maple syrup from your

farm

which makes me super sweet on the inside

no you got jokes today

yeah i do seriously though you doing all

right

yeah yeah fine you know what inventory

is your job

and don't eat them we know what a local

success your pies are and your pumpkin

pudding

with franchise expansion there's also

product expansion

pumpkin coffee pumpkin candles cereal

cider popcorn pretzels even pumpkin

spice puppy treats

wow this you've really thought of

everything

but

but but this company

it's been in my family since the early

1930s when

my great-grandmother ella started it in

her

tiny kitchen and it more or less stayed

that way until

well until now

look i know exactly what you mean my

auntie raised both my sister and i since

we were kids and i

practically grew up in her candy store

back in vermont

so you'll understand and when

i think of adding more locations and

large-scale equipment well

it just doesn't quite feel like our

family business

what's happening

i can't believe that she just backed out

on the day that we're supposed to close

that's three months work what am i

supposed to tell steward and nora

look on the right side what bright side

the cobb salad was excellent

okay that's funny okay we have to save

this deal i will talk to ella

i'm sure she just needs more time this

is a lot of change to process

okay you're doing that maggie thing

again what lucky thing i just have faith

and everything will be okay

thing well you're doing them making me

feel guilty ex-boyfriend thing

okay you got me there with some time and

a little nudge i think i can get her

there

well that's easy for you to say you

leave in the morning only for a couple

of days

okay but i don't know much longer i can

hold off the investors

i will figure it out as soon as i get

back

have a maple bite

[Music]

thank you you're welcome

[Music]

hello maggie

i'm so glad you're back six months after

the funeral

as auntie instructed part of her no

tears policy that's right smiles

memories and

laughter you got room for one more eddie

my favorite brother-in-law is still your

only brother-in-law i hope

the store looks great you guys yeah did

you tell her don't worry i'll tell her

jody is taking over at dee's position as

festival director

perfect person for that

just a little nervous you can totally do

it you can probably do it

it's not easy filling auntie shoes well

you to be you

and you will be great thanks sis and

plus i'll have a trusty partner in crime

this year

funeral

work so hard bottling these take some

credit

amy next door's been begging me if she

stop trying to find more things to do

around here

cornfield blew a gasket

i replaced it this afternoon who needs a

to-do list when you leave me with

them in the kitchen

spare pens

everywhere all your tomorrows depend on

today

that's a good one mm-hmm so just mirror

these maple lights getting better

punctual aunt dee was so i'd like to

start

auntie left us a video version of her

will that she wanted us to play today

six months after her passing

my dears how lovely to see you here

today

i can already tell that a few of you

haven't adhered to my no

tears policy jody i'm looking at you

oh joey stop blubbering

a smile is a curve that can set things

straight

use it anyway

just get on with it there's nothing more

boring than a will reading

who's that guy that's jax that's dex

[Music]

to my friend ron i've only known you for

a couple of years since you moved out

here from the midwest but

in some ways i feel like i've known you

and your son for a lifetime

and so i leave you my trusted motorcycle

i know you'll give it a fine and

loving home oh you betty don't talk to

the tv

ron that's weird my nieces

maggie and jody you've been like

daughters to me

i leave to you my home filled with the

sweetest

memories and spares of just about

everything else

[Laughter]

to my dear jody you'll be delighted to

know

that your antique store is fully paid

off

you and eddie are now its official

owners

my life's work has been my candy shop

i'm so proud of that old place

my wish is for it to evolve along a path

of positive growth

there are two people who i trust with

the responsibility of its ownership

so i leave fifty percent of my candy

shop

to my niece maggie and the other fifty

percent

hopefully he's arrived by now

i leave to dex walters

thank you all for coming i love you all

[Music]

[Music]

this is the last one so many boxes

oh you're telling me i've been looking

through her old photos trying to find

that picture of us from the very first

festival

oh i remember just that one picture

being taken on the date i would love to

find that pick

hopefully it turns up before you leave

hey are you coming to the festival

kickoff of course

well dex is about to beat us there oh

right cool motorcycle guy

you know you two do seem very buddy

buddy

yeah ever since he and his dad moved

into the maple farm a couple years ago

he's been like a son to her and so a

friend to us

what he's he's fun and he's sweet

annoying a tad abrasive

i'm just surprised you two hadn't met

before maybe i just wasn't in town long

enough

i don't know he keeps pretty busy too i

just don't understand why she would

leave me half her business with him

you know like what am i supposed to do

with that no

she doesn't do anything by accident it's

true

her music box

oh there's got to be a key in here

i wish i could have spent more time at

home over these last few years i just

feel like i missed out on so much

hey auntie always knew you were busy

busy is no excuse i just miss her

yeah me too now come on yeah

[Music]

[Applause]

so

maggie open each envelope on the

corresponding day of the festival

it is not too late for us to spend the

festival together

love auntie

[Music]

maggie hey zach yeah we

haven't been able to go through these

office yet i get it

how are you i'm good how long you in

sound for just a couple days

well we're happy to have you i'll just

about take these gift bags out to the

courtyard

happy to help cool oh

you're you're a guest here please i got

it i got it i used to hand these out

back in the good old days

the good old days it's just a little

heavier than they used to be there's uh

full bottles of maple syrup in there

syrup yeah you know what actually i want

you to be careful with it

[Music]

you know what let it have

i'd like to handle stuff like that and

you can enjoy the perks of co-ownership

from a distance oh i really prefer to be

hands-on

guys you don't even know the business

like i do that's why i want to buy you

out you want

what smile for a kickoff photo

you don't live here so i figured you'd

want a buyout

you know we don't have the best history

with assumptions buddy and if you want

to know my thoughts i think that aunt

dee would want us to take her brand

nationwide

which just so happens to be my expertise

this is a local brand

this is built here hello welcome to the

30th annual sweet autumn fest

with fall treats and activities all week

long

[Music]

please welcome this year's co-host

thanks jody

hey everyone i will be keeping it d

spirit alive this year with fall fling

and the candy making contest coming up

this saturday so

start thinking of your new candy flavors

now because who knows

yours might be on the menu

and uh while while i'm up here i'd like

to introduce you to

auntie's niece and co-owner and new

co-owner

maggie murphy thanks dex

thank you guys it's so good to see your

faces and it's so nice to be home

we have got a lot of big things planned

for aunties

and i cannot wait to explore expanding

her legacy

together

empties is fine just the way it is

doesn't need any changes

[Applause]

fifty percent well everyone loves your

maple bytes

that's my point she always talked about

evolving and expanding her legacy well

that's what i do

we could have a bunch of aunties who

owns the other 50

well that's the conundrum i mean

convincing this guy to go bigger is

gonna be tough he wanted me to sell

you do love a challenge hey you're not

giving up on ella are you

i will bring you a deal one way or

another

okay don't lose faith i will get on this

guy's good side

i think i know his type faith is where

you shine you know that i live in

reality

it's good to hear you laugh how you been

oh good

it's nice to be home yeah i bet

let's get this done okay bye

[Music]

slow down like molasses

or in this case like maple syrup

rediscover the sweet and slow art of

maple sugaring

[Music]

now remember spring is tapping season so

we'll ensure that you guys are all

seasoned syrup making experts by then

it doesn't flow in the fall you might

get a bead or two

but it only comes in the springs you

want to make sure that you don't waste a

drop

he's right uh

thank you uh so a tree can produce up to

a gallon of sap in the springtime can

anybody tell me how many gallons of sap

it takes to produce one gallon of

syrup anybody

uh yes

40. 40. that's that's right

this is a spile or a tap

you're gonna want to put the tap in the

hole aren't you heading back to

minneapolis tonight just like that oh i

decided to stay

yeah spend the week at the festival with

you

and auntie and spirit what's up

so yeah i have some work to do oh

so guys i've pre-drilled a bunch of

holes in the maple trees back there

why don't you tap in your spout attach

your bucket and then i'll come around

and check on you in a bit

oh uh hey jax turns out maggie's staying

the whole week

isn't that great it's uh

can't think of anything greater

so city girl you ever tap a tree

well sap usually flows best

on the side of the tree with the most

sun exposure which would be the

south side that you

drilled into the north side

well it's a it's a demonstration right

sap doesn't flow in the fall i just

that's what i just said

in my presentation right yeah

thanks

[Music]

give him a little trouble good

real good it might be the spark plug

[Music]

and then you want to take your bucket

hang it right on the hook okay

can i talk to you for just a second i'm

so sorry

i think we may have gotten off on the

wrong foot i'd say

wrong feet clearly you meant a lot

to my auntie i did well and

since i'm gonna be staying the week i

thought that maybe you and i could spend

some time together

you could get to know your new partner

and maybe we could even come up with

some new candy flavors together

or separately

you could hear some of my ideas nothing

permanent

yeah yeah we can do that

great great

[Music]

are you distracted i'm actually winning

tonight

on your mind maggie murphy

uh she seems sweet

if by sweet you mean presumptuous

i've never seen her step foot in the

shop and all of a sudden she thinks she

knows what dee would want

well she is her niece she's practically

her daughter

have you tried talking to her about uh

how you see things moving forward

i don't see the point look you got a lot

to offer you should try

sharing your thoughts with her and look

at it this way now that maggie's back

maybe you won't have to work as much

i mean between the farm and the candy

shop you barely had a day off all year

might even find some time for that plan

you've been putting off

it's your move it's your move

[Music]

so

[Music]

[Music]

so

[Music]

dicks keep this close to your heart

as a symbol of what we've started

together

it's up to you to unlock the future

[Music]

hey make sure you're not too loud i

don't want to thank her

[Music]

morning you scared me

what are you guys doing here we wanted

to surprise you with it we're so happy

you're staying all week breakfast

but it is 7 30 in the morning what time

did you get

up six i slept in what do you do to that

brood

i hadn't really thought it through thank

you

you're gonna make me wanna stay all year

it's all part of my master plan

we uh actually wanted to catch up a

little so uh hulking's working out with

jonathan you know

since you guys dated and all

what i never heard the breakup story

there's not much of a story to tell

we just realized we were too similar but

as mature adults

and business partners we are friendly

and cooperative

well mostly mostly go on

oh so you get to ask for all the gossip

it's nothing

just some stress trying to figure out

how to move forward with this

investment proposal anyway you know

that's a single

what sounded like someone to change the

subject so why change the subject

come on we gotta go open the shop it's

day two of sweet autumn fest

no stay or you know what i won't be mad

if you want to sneak in later and make

me dinner

bye see you later

[Music]

um

working at the shop with you brought me

such joy

relive those days with me and don't

forget to be a team player

[Music]

good morning partner good morning

look what i found in the back it's my

name tag from high school

still fits it's a name tag

it's a joke that's a good one

so what does this mean well it means

that i am going to be working here

all week with you that's great and i

thought that maybe you and zach could

help me out

fill in the gaps you know work together

true partnership

as auntie would have wanted

you seem really confident about what

aunt dee would want

you seem pretty confident about what

auntie would want

i'm just gonna grab these two jars that

i definitely don't need

hey zach wouldn't it be cool to have a

new auntie's location

that would be cool of course

we'd have to look at logistics and isn't

it also cool

zach that aunties is the town's little

secret

that's also true right yeah yeah but

also isn't it true that aunt dee

always loved when anyone anywhere

enjoyed one of her treats

i have to distribute these outside to

the vendors so i'm going to do that oh

let me help you

that's good i got it i really

so you too good stupendous

look i'm gonna be here all week

why don't we just try and embrace this

work together

after you no okay yeah

[Music]

last year she would sometimes do her

candy making out here as well said she

was

outgrowing her kitchen well you're in

luck because i can help with that yeah

there you go thank you

you know she partnered up with our farm

started adding more flavors

like uh apple blackberries she even did

a sweet candy corn

and that is my point new ideas think

bigger

she also kept the classics caramel

chocolate

maple yeah maple bites the original

candy

she started using my maple syrup in her

candies really after my first harvest

she was my biggest fan i started helping

her out or to shop

on my free time and really start to feel

like home

it's such a beautiful day you might take

the afternoon off

he wasn't always like that he's just had

a rough goal but last little while

mention

anything neither did i

all right what time is it yep that's it

okay clocking out

zach who's heather nobody

so

[Music]

frustration comes with every worthwhile

endeavor keep pushing through

and when you need inspiration you know

[Music]

whether we like it or not we have got to

figure out how to work together

because we are responsible for andy's

legacy

look dee left us both her shop

and to be honest i didn't expect it

but clearly she trusted me and i'd like

to keep things the way they are

and she trusted me as well and i think

we should grow things

[Music]

thank you thank you i'd like to tell you

a little bit about what i do

i bring investors to small businesses

small businesses that are

passionate about what they do

i am passionate about what i do

andy always inspired me to grow to

follow my passion to try and bring joy

everywhere i go and i think

you and i can bring joy to people all

over the country

maybe even the world you and i both know

how wonderful those candies are

why not share them with as many people

as possible

what do you say

do fish

[Music]

it's a beautiful spot but

fishing isn't the real deal here is it

might also be about getting to know the

real maggie

why don't we start with a real dex

because you are not giving me

anything you're getting to know me you

are getting to know me i am not getting

to know you

okay let's just talk about something

else that's what i mean

what do you want to know all right well

for starters

tell me about what auntie means to you

i could come to her with anything

you should give me advice about work

life

dating yeah

she could pretty much get me to open up

about anything you know one time she

brought me fishing out here

i forgot the bait so we used our lunch

i got nothing except a lecture about how

i always go after the wrong type of

[Music]

what about you did she ever meet any of

your boyfriends

uh yeah i mean she mostly

disapproved of all of them i can't blame

her

i always went after the type of guy who

was way too into his work

but it made it easy to avoid talking

about the tough stuff you know

probably why my ex-boyfriend jonathan

wait

why am i talking about my dating no

one's forcing you to

look ahead you were telling me about

jonathan you're trying to get me to open

up

that's my tactic you're using tactics on

me now you're pivoting just tell me

about jonathan just tell me about

heather

oh

what do you know about heather i don't

know anything about heather and that's

my point i don't know anything

you are a half open book in a dimly lit

room

we were together for about a year

she was sweet we went our separate ways

why

when auntie passed brought back memories

of my mom passing and i realized that

life is short and heather just

wasn't the right one mom and d would

have wanted me to be with the right

person and

as sweet as she was heather just wasn't

it

[Music]

any regrets only with the way that i did

it

i knew it was the right thing yeah for

both of us

[Music]

it's just i couldn't tell her why

i kind of feel bad about that

well you can still talk to her

it's never too late

[Music]

i got one keep the lights keep the line

tight yep one second i got one too

hello everyone it's candy creation time

we've given you the tools now it's up to

you to combine them into something

special

so dig in and pick out any ingredients

you think you might need for the candy

making competition on the last day of

the festival

will yours be auntie's next signature

candy

good luck

[Laughter]

hi hey hi maggie how's the farm

well it's our second harvest better than

last year excellent

yeah are you enjoying andy's motorcycle

oh it's a beauty

yeah i'm honored she gifted it to me i'm

guessing you two were really close

well we uh look at the farm after my

wife passed two years back

index and i wanted to change and boy we

sure got it

d helped us settle in anything we needed

and we took care of her deed becomes

sort of a second mom to dex

so when she passed was hard on him

is that why he couldn't go the funeral

yeah

i understand that he raised you and your

sister since you were kids

as if we were her own

don't give up on dex just yet he hasn't

always been this way

which way you haven't noticed

no i have of course you're not the first

person to say that

it's been a rough year for him what he

needs is a

as a friend

[Music]

uh can i let you in on a little secret

always today's um

today's a special day for him

here you go all right see y'all later

hey guys

hey man hey didn't see you this morning

no you did not

you never miss work well that was the

first time for everything

okay met up with heather this morning

we had a little chat you had a chat

i uh took some advice that i got fishing

fishing advice

you know what i feel like there's some

major weight off my shoulders

oh man it's beautiful out there oh hey

son

hey

hi hey maggie's here

with my dad at his house playing games

how wonderful i invited her over she

mentioned how you struck up a friendship

did she i figured she'd like to partake

in auntie's

maple walnut cake your favorite cake

your birthday cake happy birthday son

happy birthday dex

thank you

uh what were we talking about you were

telling me about your farm

well it's a lot of work but we love it

i only wish that dex would find more

time to spend on his dream

dream well he's been bottling maple

syrup he wants to market dad

dad can i not be a proud father for one

second

look at this he designed this himself

this is great we should put in the shop

well steve's candy shop not dexes

okay all right either way why haven't

you done anything with this

it's a small grove it's just a hobby

you want to try some yes i do

[Music]

so what'd you think of it that's really

good every maple syrup grove has its own

personality it's just how you bring out

the flavors

you should market it you um

you really should i had a plan

but you know other things were

more important what if there were no

obstacles then what

might be afraid it would fail

so my first venture when i was just

starting out

i fell in love with this company that

made baby slings

you know but for small dogs

precisely the reaction i would get

i helped pitch it to so many investors

no after no after no

until my 14th pitch

my first yes and that became pub sling

pup sling yeah i've seen the commercials

for it

you have steak and pup sling a small

amount

but sometimes you have to start small to

go big

d used to say that

just a tiny request

and and you can't deny me because i'm

something okay five orders

about carrying your syrup at their

farmers market

[Music]

the trick to producing the perfect maple

toffee is you have to get it to

just the right heat between 235 and 245

degrees

traditionally it was done over an open

fire just like this

does anyone know how maple syrup was

first discovered

yes people saw squirrels drinking it

from the trees

yes exactly a plus legend has it that

iroquois

witnessed squirrels drinking the sap

from the trees so they learned to tap

the trees and use the sap to cure their

meats

now vermont maple producers export their

syrup to over 50 countries worldwide

yes alyssa when do we get to try the

taffy

yeah when do we get to try the taffy

right now let's go

now this is when the real magic happens

when the syrup hits the ice

now wait 10 seconds and put your stick

at the end of the syrup and then

roll it up guys this is one of the

healthiest sweet treats you can have

right dad absolutely yeah all right kids

now go ahead and give it a taste

what do you think scale of one to ten

you want to come over here and try some

yeah

[Music]

thank you do you want one

all right oh yes please

go now you can put the stick all right

in the end just like that let it sit

there for one second

now you're gonna roll it up okay

[Music]

nice technique partner back at your

[Music]

partner

[Music]

is there anything she can't do nope not

really

hey you want to sneak out of here what

are you thinking

well we have that new candy flavor we've

got to work on i'm gonna need a ride

because jody dropped me off

well i see my ride how are you getting

[Music]

there

hop on

[Music]

hold on tight

[Music]

i hope you didn't mind me taking the

scenic route oh

not at all it's so beautiful out here

yeah this is my happy place auntie used

to bring us camping here when we were

kids

yeah she told me

you know she showed me this place

now i come out here on my own sometimes

do some thinking it's a good place for

that

you know dee and i would have some great

conversations out here

now that surprises me how's that

surprise you

i don't know if you know this but uh

word around town is

you're a little bit of a closed book

if i'm a closed book that makes you an

epic choose your own adventure novel

that's right

makes me feel like i'm a kid again i

love this

this is always my favorite part of

camping yeah

i loved s'mores so much

one night i had a bunch of them in my

sleeping bag

and auntie always told us never leave

food

in the tent so we all go to sleep

and then we wake up in the middle of the

night

to a bear it's just sniffing around he

wanted the

jody s'mores i screamed at the top of

our lungs luckily we

scared him away it wasn't funny

it was really scary no i'm sorry it's

just that uh

dee told me this story she did

she did yeah

she said it was a raccoon

yeah yeah raccoons can be scary in the

middle i don't know they're pretty cute

no no around in your sleeping bag i

spent the rest of the night in auntie's

truck

nope

so miss choose your own adventure novel

what was that about nothing

nothing i have a terrible poker face

um there's this project i may have to

give up on

i thought you never give up well that's

the confusing part because

i do not give up

it just um just doesn't feel right

anymore even as the words are coming out

of my mouth i just i

feel like a failure

and he always encouraged me to go out

into the world and

make something of myself and and make

her proud

and i feel like i did that you know

it's just i'm starting to realize that

oh how just unfulfilling that's been

i guess when you work so much it's

it's hard to see it

i have a tough time letting go as well

no

you

sometimes you have to let go

let go and freedom will flow

it's one of henty's candy wrapper

philosophies

i have an idea

we have to come up with a new candy

flavor for the contest

why don't we also come up with our own

words of

wisdom to use you know to

to keep her tradition alive

i don't think i'd be too good at that oh

come on

just dig a little okay

i'll go first okay okay um

your future starts today not tomorrow

oh that's good yeah yeah that's

i like that your turn

murphy

well i'm dex her co-owner problem the

maple syrup guy

great you're the one i want to talk to

no offense maggie maggie was filling me

in on your situation

situation we should talk that's what

we're doing privately

okay but i think dex is going to want to

hear this trust me i know you don't want

to sell

but maggie and i have a team of

investors lined up that are just

poised ready to bring this operation

national operation

i never said operation we expand maple

candy production

internationally using exclusively your

syrup and then we side market the

surplus syrup to japan

japan yes they go crazy for vermont

maple syrup do you have any idea how big

the global market for maple syrup is

i have i have no idea but i'm sure

you're gonna tell me it's 500 million

500 million dollars i had no idea it's a

lot of syrup

with your expertise and our investors we

could put an auntie's in

every major city auntie's face plastered

everywhere

aunt d becomes everyone's aunt

did you help him put this together no i

i mean

no not exactly don't be modest she did

but it was with a different company this

is much better

listen i can explain i mean of course

there is one other option

well we could buy you out there's an

offer in there if that's the way you

want to go

jonathan i need some air

jax weight please

why do i get the feeling like this

didn't go well

supposed to be windy tonight they're

just gonna blow all over the place again

good give me another distraction

[Music]

tomorrow

are you gonna be mad at me forever no of

course not

but you put this whole thing together

behind my back

i didn't think of it that way i thought

that

you'd be happy that i saved the deal for

both of us

you were only supposed to be gone for

two days i know i know

look my aunt dee gave him half of her

business

for a reason and it wasn't for him to

step away

she wouldn't want that i don't want that

i understand i need to go talk to him

well i'm staying at an airbnb by the

library

it's charming the cell service isn't

great so

i'll be wandering around looking for

higher ground

[Music]

thank you

[Music]

hey hey look i am sorry

that i made you feel like i went behind

your back in any way

that is not what happened when we got

aunt dee's i

honestly i truly believed that the best

way to honor her legacy was to make it

the next great candy company

and yes i went to jonathan with that

idea

but along the way i i started to want to

honor your dreams for the company too

and now i

i don't know what the right thing to do

is

i think i do

[Music]

you're signing away or half

i just i didn't think things would get

so complicated

so i'm taking the bio stepping away

[Music]

good luck i really mean that

he's selling his half i've been trying

to figure out

what aunt dee would want us to do with

the store and now i am more confused

than ever

but i wanted to show you something

andy left me this letter

and there was something inside of it

that i thought she would want me to

share

oh it's us from the first festival

ah i don't believe it she left us a few

surprises

but what did the letter say

when someone you love becomes a memory

the memory becomes a treasure

share your treasures with those you love

what do you think she's telling you

i thought i knew but now i don't

so that's it you decided you're selling

yeah

yeah if i sell my share i can devote

more time to the farm

you know help you with your workload no

no this is not about my workload i like

my workload

i thought you and maggie were working

this through yeah so did i

so what happened

i guess i'd let my guard down

and what does that mean i don't know dad

i mean

i thought i knew her i guess i don't

you know dee wanted us to carry on the

shop together but maggie had other plans

besides it is her family right why am i

going to step in the way of that

i just wish that she had been straight

with me would you tell her that

yeah yeah justin not so many

words what

you you are a man of not so many words

talk to her tell her how you're really

feeling

you might be giving up more than just

the story here

[Music]

dex keep this close to your heart as a

symbol of what we've started together

it's up to you to unlock the future

[Music]

next now it's your turn write a letter

someone special to you

be vulnerable and express your true

[Music]

feelings

[Music]

so

[Music]

keep it close he's got the key

[Music]

hey it's maggie please call me back

we need to talk

maggie is everything okay yeah

is dex here no he took off on his bike

he said he needed some time to think

i know exactly where he is um

[Music]

could i i'm way ahead of you

thanks

[Music]

[Music]

recognize the sound of that engine

anywhere

what are you doing here i got your

letter

and you were right

it is the little things

it was the laughter and the memories

but it is also the big things

it's being home it's being with family

and auntie's house and her shop being

reminded of

everything and everyone that i love

it's like i was a closed book

until you

we can do anything that you want with

auntie's shop

i just don't want to lose you

i don't want to lose you either

[Music]

you know i think it's pretty clear that

um auntie left us

her shop because she trusted us but um

she was also trying to

bring us together in her own special way

do you recognize this yeah that's that's

her music box

yes she loved this poem that's inscribed

in it

a wise old al lived in an oak the more

he saw the less he spoke the less he

spoke the more he heard

how his neo wise

i tried to open it but she didn't leave

me the key

wait a second

[Music]

he was attached to the owl

i had it in my pocket before i left okay

so it fell off

it's got to be somewhere yeah but where

i don't know how we're ever gonna find

it out here

[Music]

can't believe i lost it it's okay

no it's not auntie left me the key

finally figured out what it's for and

i lose it look if you want to blame

anybody you blame me it was my fault

it's your fault

yes because if i would have just been an

adult

and had a conversation then you wouldn't

have run off into the woods and

lost your it's not your fault it's my

fault

you know what it doesn't matter

it doesn't we we found what we were

supposed to find

she wanted us to find each other

that's all that matters

still like she had a spare for

everything

wait a second

she had the words to the owl poem framed

in her office

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

dear maggie and dex if you're reading

this rapper you've found each other

and that couldn't make me happier trust

your instincts and use your strengths

everything's better in twos

[Music]

time to make your choice for the best

new
