Oh.

Hello.

- Oh.
- Is that for both of us?

- No. That's my breakfast.
- Oh.

Okay, you know, people
used to eat like this.

I got my toast, my
butter, my whole milk,

scrambled eggs,
bacon, ham slice,

some hash browns, and
got a little oatmeal.

Well, then, um, bon appétit.

- Thank you.

Hey, uh, well, I tried
to call Mel, and...

And it didn't go through.

No, it wouldn't.

It's not up to me.
It's the island.

I'm sorry.

Okay, well, is
it, I mean, impossible?

Ruby, I-I wish I could.

- Ruby, honestly,

I wish I could...

Oh, I-I think it's landing.

Oh.

Thank you for the ride!

Ah!

Eileen Mitchell, I presume.

That was unexpected.

Yeah. I-I was so
excited to get here

that I just showed up two
hours early for the plane.

Oh.

And this big fellow
was just sitting there,

and so I whipped
out my credit card,

and here I am... paradise.

Now, where can I get a martini?

Ooh.

I haven't been
in a helicopter since...

Oh, I don't know. It must
have been early '80s.

Oh, yeah, Annie Leibovitz.

She had me on a rooftop,
New York, in December.

I got pneumonia.
The client loved it.

Um, please have a
seat, Mrs. Mitchell.

I'm your host, Elena Roarke,
and this is my associate.

Yes. Hi. I'm Ruby.

Oh, it's just
lovely to meet you.

- Do you model?
- Huh?

I was a model. It's a
terrible job, though.

Not nearly as
glamorous as it seems.

And once you're a
woman of a certain age,

people don't want to
look at you anyway.

And then once you're a woman
of a certain certain age,

they simply don't
see you at all.

Well, um, that must be painful.

Well, I try not to dwell.

Regardless, it's Ms. Mitchell,

currently unattached, but
please call me Eileen.

Well, Eileen, what can
the island do for you?

Mmm! Oh, now, that's a martini.

About a year ago,

my daughter Theodora
cut me out of her life.

And why did she do that?

Well, there may have
been a small incident.

I was watching my
grandson Frederich,

and after he was sound asleep,

I popped next door
for a little karaoke.

So you left your
sleeping grandson

at the house by himself?

Sound asleep, safe in his crib.

And that party
needed my attention,

far more than Fredrick did.

Well, my daughter... she
acted like I left the kid

at a bus station with
a "kidnap me" sign

around his neck.

And you feel
like that was unfair?

I was young when I had Theo,

and I didn't want to
be one of those mothers

who was always away, and
so I took Theodora with me.

Ah, she was my best friend

my little backpack.

I gave her a childhood
of culture, adventure.

She speaks three
languages, you know.

- Great.
- But ever since she had Freddy,

I mean, she thinks

that every one of my
parenting choices was wrong,

and not just wrong... awful.

So your fantasy is?

My fantasy is simple.

I want to be with my daughter
and her family again.

I miss her. I miss them...
with my whole being.

Well, fantasies
are rarely simple,

but you're gonna be very happy
to know that I have arranged

for Theo, David, and
Freddy to be on the island.

They're here? Now?

Ah!

Why don't you go to your
room and freshen up?

Meet me at the
mangroves in an hour.

That's where your
fantasy will begin.

- Just like that?
Just like that.

Welcome to Fantasy Island.

Oh, thank you Elaine.

Ah, Elena.

No, it's Eileen.

Oh, I hope the island's
not too hard on her.

She just wants to
be with her family.

She does, but it's
also more than that.

In any case, she'll
get what she needs.

- May we come in?
- Oh, of course.

And excuse the mess.
I was just unpacking.

Not at all,
Professor Wakefield.

I'm your
host, Elena Roarke,

and this is my associate Ruby.

- Yes. Hi.

Wow. Now, look at that.

My husband, he was... I mean, he
is an amateur astronomer, so...

Oh, then he'll be watching

the asteroid
tomorrow night, too.

Yes. Yeah, I'm...
I'm sure he will.

So, Professor Wakefield, what
can the island do for you?

As you know, I'm a scientist.

Yes, you're a
particle physicist.

Yes. I spent many
years on a team

searching for a
subatomic particle

known as the Higgs boson.

The God particle.

Mm, that's what the
media called it,

but I studied it a long time.

It's not God.

Okay, um, and that
disappointed you?

I was in second grade

when I first looked
into a microscope

and saw a cell from
the skin of an onion.

I was hooked.

I committed my life
to going deeper.

Everything in the universe is

explainable,

and I've come to find that

almost unbearable.

My fantasy is to
experience something

I can't explain through science,

to know with certainty

that there is something
greater out there.

That's a tall order,
but I absolutely believe

that we can help you.

Ms. Roarke, I should warn you,

I'm about as skeptical
as they come.

Ah, it's okay. I
can work with that.

- Welcome to Fantasy Island.

And, Professor, do
try to have some fun.

I can't believe they're here.
It's really them, right?

I mean, not... not actors
or androids or anything?

Well, I-I thought
about androids, yes,

but it turned out to be cheaper
to just spring for the airfare.

- Can I go to them?
- Yeah.

You can, but, Eileen,
a word of warning...

Oh, look how big he got.

He was a baby, and now
he looks like a boy.

Theodora?

- Theodora, it's your mother.

Oh!

All right. I see how it is.

You know, I am not
going to make a scene.

I mean, I only
arranged this trip

so we could start
over as a family.

But if you honestly
think ignoring me

is the most mature
course of action here,

then who am I to challenge you?

It's way past lunch.
Let's head inside.

Okay.

All right, now, t-this
is cruel, Theodora.

I mean, am I honestly so awful
that you can't even look at me?

Mama.
- Theodora?

Theodora, come back here!

What the hell is happening here?

My family is
completely ignoring me.

I mean, why did they come

if they didn't want
to see me, hmm?

- I tried to tell you, Eileen.
- Tell me what?

Would you mind getting
me my bookmark?

It's over there... little
table. You see the...

- Really?
- Yes, please.

In front of the mirror.
Thank you so much.

You know she
completely blanked me?

I mean, it was impressive.

Almost as if I were...

Invisible.

There

now you get it.

Whoa.

So you're the only one
who can see and hear me?

I can see you. Hi.

Oh, hello.

It is just so comforting to know

that two whole
people can see me.

So what now?

- Okay, and so she...
- Is invisible.

- Yeah.
Yeah.

Apparently it's not enough
that I feel invisible.

Now I get to be
invisible as well.

Eileen, uh, you seem triggered.

Maybe this is something
we should examine?

- I don't want to examine it.
- Okay.

I want to turn things
around with Theodora,

and I can't do that,
if I can't talk to her.

I believe you spent time

at an ashram, right,
in Costa Rica?

What? Do you know
everything about me?

Yes, I did. It was
a long time ago.

And you had a guru over
there. Her name was Satnam.

What do you think she'll say
is the point of all of this?

- She never said anything.
- Hmm.

What?

I'm not supposed to talk?

- I'm just supposed to listen?
- Mm-hmm.

Oh, I'm sorry, Javier.
We have a guest.

What... what guest?

You know, I spent four hours at
the pickup point... no guest.

Did you even think of calling?

He's cute. Are you two an item?

- No.
- Okay.

I'm sorry. I should have called.

But our guest... she
chartered a helicopter

because she didn't want to wait.

Yeah, a-and to be fair,

I mean, we didn't even
know until she arrived.

Well, tell her she's
pretty damn inconsiderate.

Well, he's a bit huffy.

Here I am, listening.
Listen, listen, listen.

Okay.
Let's get the ball.

All right. Throw it back.

This place reminds
me so much of Bali.

Did I ever tell you about
my three-legged monkey?

His name was...

- Khaki.
- Khaki.

- No.
- I did, too.

Oh, that poor animal...

He was a long-tail macaque,
and I was obsessed with him.

And Eileen was okay with that?

I'm not sure she even noticed.

Theodora, I chased down
that monkey so many times.

No, that's not fair.

She made him a collar and leash

out of an old watchband
and a silk belt,

and we used to say
that he was the most...

Stylish monkey in town.

You miss her.

Of course I miss
her. She's my mom.

I miss you more, sweetheart.

Look how freakin'
adorable this one is.

Aw.
Huh?

I could, uh, send it to her.

No.

David

how many times have
we given her an inch

and watched her take ten miles?

I had more
than enough chaos

and abandonment growing up.

I don't want it
in Freddy's life.

Oh, honey.

That's your choice.

I set my boundaries with
my mom for a reason,

and, yes, it's sad,

but she left our baby alone

because she couldn't stand
not being center of attention

for five minutes.

She made her choice,

and I choose not to
keep allowing her

to wreak havoc in our lives.

Mommy.

Hey, babe.

The club
sandwich is excellent

but unlikely to defy science.

Mm, to be honest,

I'm not expecting
anything to do that.

Can I ask, why did you come

if you believe your
fantasy's not possible?

I...

don't have a good
answer to that question.

Hope, perhaps?

The same thing that kept you
searching for the God particle

all those years.

Perhaps.

The difference is that
then you were searching,

and now you're just
eating a club sandwich.

I see your point.

You know, the south
end of the beach

is beautiful.

I'm actually going
there right now.

Enjoy your club
sandwich, Professor.

Isn't it beautiful?

You should change the
name of this island

from Fantasy Island to
Nightmare Hellscape Island.

Is something wrong?

Oh, no, nothing's wrong.

I'm fine. I'm...

Beautiful weather,
family who hates me.

Do you know what she said?

- I...
- She said I wreak havoc.

Me!

What did I do to her, Elaine?

Elena.

She said that she had
to set up "boundaries"

because I take ten miles.

I gave Theodora a memorable,
meaningful childhood.

Screw her for not
appreciating it

and you for taking her side.

Come with me.

What the hell is this?

A gift.

You see your life with
Theo through your lens.

This is an opportunity to
see it the way she did.

The Golden Lotus?
Are we in Costa Rica?

I need you to lower
your voice, please.

This is a place of
silent contemplation.

- They can hear me?
- No, but I can.

This place touched
such a deep part of my soul.

It's one of the places you
felt comfortable leaving Theo.

She absolutely loved it here.

Did she?

That's Theo.

What's wrong with her, and
why isn't anyone helping?

Oh, Theodora.

If you don't see her
coming up the road by now,

she won't be back today.

Five more
minutes. Please, Satnam.

I'm sure your
mother's fine, Theo.

I know she's fine.

She's always fine.

It's just what if she
doesn't come back this time?

Come on.

Gurmuk made chocolate cake.

Theo, wait!

I had no idea you felt that way!

Please, honey, let me explain!

Theo!

She loved Costa Rica.

I don't even think she was there

to see me off when I left.

She was too cool
for me, even then.

Or maybe she couldn't bear
to watch you leave her again.

Like when you left her in
Amsterdam, Eileen, or in Bali

and at a convent
at the Pyrenees.

- I was making a living.
- So when Theo was crying

into Gurmuk's chocolate
cake, where were you?

I was on a spiritual quest.

You were in Peru
tripping on ayahuasca.

Oh, tomato, to-mah-to.

Eileen

your daughter was in pain
because of your choices.

You're either going
to acknowledge that,

or you're not.

I acknowledge that
you made your point.

I'm a terrible mother,

and she's better off without me.

I deserve to be invisible.

Got it.

Got it. Okay.

Ay, ay, ay. Dios
mío, esta señora.

Hi. Excuse me. Um, you
know Roarke's drink?

Single malt.

What are you hoping to
buy with that single malt?

A phone call.

It's just...

I miss my family, you know,

and I just... I don't think she
really understands how much.

You know, in all the
years I've been here,

I've never flown her
anywhere, not one time.

She understands.

Thanks, Javier.

Hi, could I get a...

Wait, I
know I'm invisible,

but what do I have to
do to get a drink here?

Hi, there, Eileen.

Do you need anything?

A drink, but I can't seem to
get the bartender's attention,

what, with being
invisible and all.

Excuse me.

Can we get two
passionfruit daiquiris?

- But make one with a floater.
- I like you.

You know, you have a much
better sense of hospitality

than your boss.

Oh, I like to think that we, uh,

you know, complement
one another.

You know, it's not like
this invisibility thing

is a new feeling.

But this... I feel dead.

Yeah.

I know how you feel.

That's kind, sweetie,

but I have crow's
feet older than you.

Looks can be
deceiving around here.

I'm a permanent resident
of the island now,

but not too long ago, I was a

75-year-old Black woman

living in the
suburbs of Cincinnati

dying of cancer.

I mean, I know invisible.

Yes, you do.

Ah. Thank you.

Wow.

Some island.

Yes. Well,
I'll cheers to that.

- You got kids?
- Mm, mm-hmm.

Three and six
grandkids, well, so far.

And do your children
blame you for everything?

Our youngest put us
through it, okay?

She went off to college

and picked up a whole
list of grievances.

You know, I mean,
I knew it was wrong

to leave my grandson alone
in the house that night,

but I couldn't bear
it a second longer.

I felt so old, irrelevant.

I felt...

Invisible?

Yeah.

And so I

followed the music,
just to be out,

just to be seen,

just to prove to myself
that I'm still here.

And now I've lost
my daughter forever.

Oh, well, look, you can't
change the past, right?

So, if you screwed up
then, be there for her now,

because when it comes
to being a parent,

I mean, you can't stop trying.

Even when your kid slams
the door in your face,

it's your job to keep knocking.

Did it work with your daughter?

A little too well.

She moved back home.

- Hmm.

What do we have here?

This isn't funny, Roarke.

Logic dictates that these
are cheap magic tricks.

Watch it.
- Sorry.

Can you speak?

Can you hear me?
- Say something.

I just did.

No, no, no.

It happened on contact.

Slap my hand again.

How about this?

Yes.

It's touch.

Hello, Eileen.

I'm C-Charles.

Would you be kind enough
to explain yourself,

uh, if you can?

Hi, Charles.

Explain myself.

Well, I'm invisible, obviously.

It seems to be this crazy
island's idea of a joke

or the literalization of
middle age and beyond.

Anyhow, uh, nice to meet you.

And you as well.

Would you stay and
talk with me a while?

8:00 p.m., so I figured
you'd be at the office.

I was... I was just heading out.

What's this?

Oh, you know, just the best
single malt money can buy.

- Oh.
- I thought we could talk.

If this is about calling Mel...

No, no.

Please, okay? Please.

I'm not gonna ask you again.

It's just...

I want to know why.

Look, I know being
here feels like

stumbling around in a dark room

and you're looking
for the light switch.

But believe me when I tell you

you're not gonna find one.

Ruby, the only way forward

is to follow the path
laid out for you here.

You've been given a
second chance at life.

Try to embrace it.

In through the nose
and out through the mouth.

I'm... I'm failing to grasp
the significance of this.

Shh! Just breathe.

I'm sorry.

I have a bad back, and
this really isn't helping.

I think we need to take

a more scientific
approach to your problem.

Science has nothing
to do with this.

It's about my daughter.
She doesn't want to see me.

Therefore, I'm invisible.

I'm sure your predicament
can be explained somehow.

You know,
Charlie, you strike me

as someone who has suffered
from a lifelong inability

to surrender in any
way to irrationality.

It's Charles, and
you're correct.

Well, Charles, I'm a woman,
not a lab experiment,

and I want to show
you something.

Do you believe in fate, Charlie?

The universe
doesn't care what we believe.

That's dark.
- It's really not, just factual.

I think you were put in my path

for a very specific reason.

Look.

Voyeurism is risky business
for the non-transparent.

It didn't stop you last time.

Who is she?

Charles, she's my world, and
she's cut me out of hers.

That's your daughter?
She's here on the island?

Oh, I messed up, and I
need her to forgive me.

Now, that's where you come in.

- Me?
- Charles, you're going to talk

to her and convince Theodora

that I'm not all the terrible
things she thinks I am.

All due respect,
I barely know you.

Oh, I'll tell you
exactly what to say.

Maybe you were a
terrible mother.

- That's cruel.
- It's a logical supposition.

If she's not talking to
you, there must be a reason.

You sound like Roarke.
Everything is my fault.

You know, I'm beginning
to get the feeling

that you've been manipulating
me since the moment we met.

For a good reason.

In science, we
manipulate objects

to see how they will react
in different scenarios,

but I am not an object.

No, you're a

lonely, closed-minded
stick in the mud.

I'm a lonely, closed-minded
stick in the mud

who is through listening to you.

And just like that, Eileen,
you no longer exist to me.

Charles, wai...

Leaving so soon?

I've seen enough.

That's an interesting
choice of words.

You're talking about Eileen.

Well, your desire
was to experience

something unexplainable.

So can you explain it?

Her invisibility?

With time, I'm sure I could.

The rest of her? Absolutely not.

You know what I see when I

when I look at Eileen?

I see someone in pain.

When I look at you...

I see the same thing.

That's why I keep feeling
you can help each other.

I don't know how.

We have nothing in common.

For one, you both struggle

to see other people's
points of view.

That's not...

That might be true.

Do you always do
that, Professor?

Do you always shut down
when people push you?

Maybe that's why

you're so alone.

This has nothing to
do with my fantasy.

Okay.

Or does it?

May I?

Sure.

I'm sorry. I was out of line.

No, you were right about me.

Theodora is right about me.

I am selfish.

I always think
about myself first,

and I don't think about
how other people feel.

And now Theodora hates me,

and I am so sorry I
sucked you into it all.

You seem like a very
nice man, and...

You deserve better.

- Can I confess something?
- Of course.

I'm having fun.

Um, me too.

I mean, I'm miserable, but...

I get a kick out
of you, Charles.

Hmm.

I wish I could see you.

Well, the irony is that
if you could see me,

you might look right through me.

I'm a bit older than you.

Eileen, I suspect I
would see you anywhere.

Let me help you with Theo.

Are you sure?

I'm certain.

There was
a shell kingdom,

and there was a crab kingdom,

and then there was
a lobster kingdom.

Ready?

Definitely not, but
let's do it anyway.

Mwah.

Oh.

Sorry to bother you.

I think this might
belong to the little guy.

Okay, thanks.

I could have sworn I
saw that on our grass.

I'm Charles. Charlie.

My friends call me Charlie.

Theo. Thanks again.

Short for Theodora?

- Yes, actually.
Such a unique name.

My friend Eileen has a daughter
named Theodora about your age.

Eileen Mitchell?
- Yes.

Are you... It seems you are.

What a small world.

Yeah, you know my mother.

What a coincidence.
How'd you two meet?

How did we meet? We, uh...

We met at a conference.

- We met at a conference.
- A conference for what?

- Sustainable...
- Sustainable farming.

- Fashion.
- Fashion.

My mother, who
you're friends with?

Yes, my friend
Eileen, your mother.

When was the last
time you saw her?

Tell her we had the duck bacon

at Jack's Wife Freda
three weekends ago.

We had duck bacon
with Jack and Frida.

And you're 100% sure

she's not here on
this island right now?

If she is, I haven't seen her.

- You're a liar.
- That's not a lie.

- Honey, just...
- Don't, David.

I could smell Eileen's perfume
on him the moment he walked up.

Where is she?

Charles, say something.

I don't know what to say.

Is she planning to
make some grand entrance?

Barge in, shower
Freddy in presents,

then disappear again?

- I should go.
- Yes, you should.

Yeah, let's go.

Thank you for trying. I'll
figure out another way.

Before I go, one
more thing, if I may?

Charles, it's no use.

I made too big of
a mess of things.

Eileen

please.

I've known your mother
for a very short time,

and in that time,

I've seen how she will
bulldoze over anything

to get what she wants.

In fact, other than myself,
I've never met anyone

so certain that their
opinion is the correct one.

I'm standing right here.

That said, uh, I also know
that Eileen loves you,

Theo, and your family.

I know that the only thing
she wants in this world

is for you to give
her another chance,

even if she doesn't deserve it.

I'm hoping you'll give it to her

and let her show
you she's changed.

She hasn't.

This whole thing is
perfectly on brand.

Once again, I am hanging
on to the runaway train

that is the Eileen show.

It's always about her
needs, her desires.

It's like I'm invisible to her.

You're right.
You've always been right.

It was wrong of me
to leave Freddy alone

and go to the
neighbors' for karaoke,

just as it was wrong
of me to leave you

- at the Golden Lotus.
Mom, is that you?

Babe, you okay?

Every time you left,

I was convinced you
weren't coming back.

How could I, your
backpack of a daughter,

compete with your
glamorous life?

Theodora, darling
girl, you are my life.

I'm sorry that I was selfish,

and you don't need to forgive
me if you're not ready.

But just know that I
am never going to stop

trying to make this right, ever.

Mom, wait.

I don't understand
what just happened.

I really didn't mean to make
a grand entrance this time.

I believe you.

It's a long story.

Charles can...

I want to hear everything,

but first, I got to
get in my snuggles.

Oh, Freddy.

Oh, Freddy. Mwah.

You feel so good.

Hi.

You ran off before I had
a chance to thank you.

I wanted to give you some
time with your family.

I'm happy for you.

You know, I just realized that
I've been thinking so much

about myself,

I didn't even ask
what your fantasy was.

You know, Eileen,
I think it was you.

This feels wrong.

What does?

Not holding hands.

Now, that's my
kind of breakfast.

Okay.

I'm sorry. Why was
I invited to this?

Um, I imagine we'll find out.

- I'd like to make a toast.

This has truly been a
transformative week...

One that would not
have been possible

without the formidable
talents of Elena...

Or the wise
counsel of Ruby.

Oh, thank you.

And, Javier,

I'm so sorry that I wasted
your time the other day.

I'll write a check
to you for the fuel.

- Don't mention it.

You know, sometimes in life,

the most important lessons
are the hardest to learn,

but if you put in the work,

it can yield the
sweetest rewards.

And I'm going to keep working

- so I can hold on to it.

I'm not sure what
you did with my mom,

but I think I'll keep this
one, if you don't mind.

Okay.

You're so funny, Theodora.

You'd kill them
at the Catskills.

- Oh, and there she is.

So what's next for
the Mitchell clan?

Oh, Charles had
a brilliant idea.

I suggested we stick around
for a proper vacation

with somewhat less
inexplicable phenomena.

Oh, on this island?

I don't think we
can guarantee that.

Maybe not,

but I can guarantee
you a wonderful time.

Mm.
- Well, then

to a wonderful time,

but, more importantly,
to family.

To family.

Ruby, come with me.

I want to show you something.

Surprise.

My chair.

- Oh, no.

Oh, wow.

Oh, yes. I love this chair.

Oh.

Oh, my goodness.

Oh, the painting.

- Oh.
And here.

These are recent,
since you left.

Oh.

Wow. Look at him.

There go my babies right there.

Mm-hmm.

Um, you have a
note from... from Mel.

Oh.

Oh.

I'll, um...

I'll make sure you get one,
you know, every now and then.

How did you do this?

You know what?

Oh, um...

I don't even want
to know.

One more thing...

Mel... he wanted
you to have this.

Oh, yes.

That's, uh

my 20th anniversary
present.

This means the world to me.

It's beautiful.

Oh, God.

But what about, um

embracing the future, you know,

not looking back?

Sometimes you have to meet
people where they are.

Well

how about I make us some tea...

And bore you with baby pictures?

- I would love that.

- There you go.
- Ah.

Ruby, they're stunning.

Thank you.
