- Susan, how's it sounding out there?
- You sound great Burt.

Alright.
Check check check.

Loretta!

I have been looking
everywhere for you.

- Am I that hard to find?
- Everything's falling apart.

- Nothing's falling apart Gretchen.
- What about the ice, the music?

The catering truck?

The ice is going in the deer freezer,
Burt is organizing the music,

and Turner is cutting
branches to make

room for the catering Truck.

Look, it's all planned out.

Your grandparents
anniversary will be perfect.

Excuse me.

- Hey mom.
- Hi sweetie.

Aren't those azaleas beautiful?

They are mom, but I thought we were using
cherry blossoms for the centerpieces?

You don't think these azaleas
are pretty?

No I do, it's just, well azaleas
are just so common around here.

- Aren't you a little bored of them?
- No, not really.

I have an idea, we could put the
azaleas by the photo booth.

It's just I had the cherry
blossoms shipped in from Oregan.

Please use them for
the centerpieces.

Okay of course.

- Have you seen Wayne?
- I think he's finishing up with a guest.

Have you told him yet?

- I'm going to.
- Loretta.

I can't wait for him forever.

I've been trying for weeks mom,
he keeps changing the subject.

But this time now it's for sure?
Honey you have to tell him.

Hey Abby.
Good girl Abby.

- Hey Wayne, can you give me a hand?
- Yeah what do I pay you for?

You can always fire me.
Give my job to Abby.

I'm not sure she would
take the job and salary.

Hey, you might wanna schedule
regular maintenance for that gear.

When something breaks
let me know.

- It ain't a crime to think about tomorrow.
- And miss today?

Hey I'm just your employee.

But you own the inn now.
It's a lot of responsibilities.

- You sound like Loretta.
- Smart woman.

Smart man would already
put a ring on her finger.

Yeah, I'm just waiting
for the right moment.

Speak of the angel.

Lori!

You know how much
I miss you today?

- Things go well with the guests?
- It's a great, fish are biting all day.

I hear Gretchen's
party was a blowout.

- It's only 30 guests.
- Now it sounds like plenty to me.

You know what, I was
thinking, this winter

when things slow down we
should refurbish the old barn.

Wayne...

We could redo the wood, put in a bar,
you could use it for events.

We can't avoid talking
about it forever.

- Yeah fine, fine, let's talk about it.
- Well it's a huge opportunity for me.

There aren't opportunities here?

I'd be working for one of the biggest
event planners in the country.

Yeah in Los Angeles.

Loretta we can build the
Sundown into something special.

This is your hometown.
Doesn't that mean anything to you?

Of course it does.

You took it.

- I leave next week.
- Okay.

And what does that mean for...

You have no idea how hard
this decision was for me.

No.

If I don't do this...

...I'll always wonder
whether I'm good enough.

Yeah fine.

You do whatever you got to.

I'm sorry Wayne.

- Good morning Ms. Bennett.
- Good morning.

- Feeling okay?
- I'm fine.

If you're getting sick
I could always do the...

I don't get sick.

Now, what do we
have for tomorrow?

Zack Carroway's birthday party.
Beverly Hills, invitation only.

Bouncy castle arrives at
8 am followed by cake.

- Loretta.
- Yes Ms. Bennett.

This isn't a presidential inauguration,
it's an eight year olds birthday party.

Which we are only doing
so Zack's mommy and daddy

will hire us for
the Richmond Ball.

- I just like to be prepared.
- And that is wonderful.

But remember, no plan survives
contact with the enemy.

Still, I appreciate
your hard work.

Especially now that
Dee Dee has retired.

Right, have you chosen anyone
to be the new lead planner?

I don't know.
You have someone in mind?

Hello.

Hi Lori, I hope I'm
not interrupting anything.

No no, I'm just finishing dinner.
Pretty casual.

- So, how is the City of Angels?
- Yeah, everything's great.

Well you know, the Spring
Festival's coming up.

I sure wish you'd
come home to visit.

As soon as things
slow down I promise.

- I know honey, you work so hard.
- Well I think it's finally paying off.

I think Ms. Bennett's
promoting me to lead planner.

Well that's great!
You deserve it.

I mean, I know they miss
you here at the Sundown.

- How is everything over there?
- Well you could call and ask for yourself.

- I tried calling.
- You tried two years ago.

- Well Wayne doesn't wanna talk.
- Well maybe he'll surprise you.

Yeah maybe.
Look, I gotta run, I love you mom.

I love you too honey.

I'm on my way, they took
forever with your dry cleaning.

Ms. Bennett are you okay?

I might be coming
down with something.

If you don't feel
up to making the party...

...I could totally
handle it on my own.

Loretta you sure?

Absolutely, it's an eight year olds
birthday party. How bad could it be?

- I will remember this.
- Don't worry, I have it all under control.

Okay.

There's no need to rush, there's
plenty of cake for everyone.

There ya go.

Could you move the
gifts inside please?

Thank you.

This is Adelay and Adelay gets
the special cake with no nuts.

There ya go.

No, the bouncy house!

Is anybody in here?

Oh thank god.

- Thank you.
- Of course.

So sorry, head in the clouds.

Hold on a second.
You might be looking for this.

My planner.
Thank you.

Hope you don't mind.
I took a peak inside.

- Are you always so thorough?
- Afraid so.

It's very impressive.

- I'm Paul Perenti.
- Perenti like the law firm?

- You've heard of us?
- Yeah, Adelay's your dau...

Adelay's my niece, and this is
my fiance Michelle Wellerson.

The party is amazing.

And the way that you
fixed the bouncy castle.

Well, thank my dad.

He had me fixing engines soon
as I could lift a wrench.

- Tomboy huh?
- Yeah big time.

As a kid I practically
lived in the woods.

- You grew up in the woods?
- Not literally.

This is gonna be perfect.

We have to go but we would love
to discuss an event with you.

Can you stop by my
office tomorrow?

Yeah, I think I have some time.

Great, I'll have the garage
reserve a space for Amy Bennett.

Awesome meeting you, and look
forward to seeing you tomorrow.

Excuse me madam,
I'm here to offer you my eyes.

Because after seeing you,
I won't be needing them again.

- Hey Howard.
- Hey honey, I'm sorry I'm late.

- Audition went well?
- Well, you just saw it so...

...what'd you think?

- Oh stirring.
- Good.

It was for a soap, so
stirring was the goal.

Go over the menu?

- Yeah, they're still serving brunch.
- Great, I love brunch.

Is brunch so popular in LA because
no one's up in time for breakfast?

And mimosa's are fantastic.

Speaking of fantastic
I'm loving this suit.

It's my bosses.

Why are you wearing
your bosses clothes?

Long story. Have you heard
of Paul Perenti?

I don't think so.

Well he's one of the most
powerful lawyers in the city.

Go on.

He mistook me for my boss today
and I didn't correct him.

Well look at you.

He wants me, or Amy Bennett rather
to come to his office tomorrow.

- You have to go.
- Howard...

Babe, this is why people come to LA.
Okay, to become something we're not.

I mean this could
be your big break.

Look, I'm seeing Amy
tomorrow morning anyway.

I'll talk to her about it then
and then we can go together.

Okay fine, but I'm telling ya,
I don't think that's the way...

Crepes florentine.

Loretta!

Congratulations on the party!
Zack's parents were thrilled.

They just called to hire us
for the Richmond Ball.

That's wonderful.

What's this I hear about
you fixing a bouncy castle?

It was nothing.
Actually, funny story.

I met someone at the party...

Wait, before we talk about the party,
I have a surprise for you.

You know I've been looking
for a new lead planner.

Yeah.

Well, Elizabeth, can you
come in here please?

Sure.

Elizabeth Nash,
meet Loretta Johnson.

- Hi, nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you too.

Elizabeth is our
new lead planner.

Amy tells me you're great.

Elizabeth has tons of experience.
You're gonna learn a lot from her.

So what were you saying about
the party? You met someone?

It's not important.

Okay.

I have some swatches
I wanna show you.

- Okay, it was great meeting you.
- Yeah.

Hi this is Amy Bennet,
I just wanted to confirm...

...my appointment with
Mr. Perenti this afternoon.

Thank you.

Sorry for the wait Ms. Bennett.

Please, come on in.

- How's your day going?
- Great, great, and you?

Yeah fine, thank you.

- Please, have a seat.
- Thank you.

- Hi Amy.
- Hello.

Let me tell you first off Amy, even
though I'm a lawyer, I hate liars.

- Mr. Perenti, there's actually...
- So I apologize for lying to you.

I told you Michelle was my fiance
and technically we're not engaged.

I'm not sure I understand.

My father, Arthur,
he's a bit old fashioned.

Paul hasn't received his
blessing to marry me yet.

- That's where you come in.
- You want me to ask him for you?

No, no, nothing like that.
It's just...

...he's very hard to impress.

Well if Paul Perenti doesn't
impress him I'm not sure who could...

My dad is not impressed
by stuff like this.

He's an outdoorsman
and Paul is...

Not.

Wait, Michelle Wellerson, your father
is Arthur Wellerson the billionaire?

Well he prefers Arthur Wellerson
the philanthropist, yes.

Arthur and I haven't
exactly hit it off.

And I think it's because we're
doing things that I like.

So I would like to plan
a, what'd you call it?

- A retreat?
- A retreat is fine honey yes.

Yes, a weekend outdoors,
with hiking, and fishing,

and get him in a
really great mood.

And if you can make Paul look
more comfortable, all the better.

- He's very hard to impress.
- Yeah you mentioned that.

Most LA event planners spend
even less time outdoors than I do.

But we were blown away
with Zack's party.

And when you mentioned that
you grew up in the woods?

We thought that
you might be perfect.

Okay so, just for my own...

You want me to plan a retreat

to make Paul look
like an outdoorsman

so that your father will give him
his blessing to marry you?

It sounds crazy when
you say it, but yeah.

- Well tell her about the wedding.
- Right, the wedding.

Now we haven't chosen a
firm to plan our wedding,

if you can do this, I don't
see why we can't hire you.

- To plan the Wellerson Perenti wedding.
- Our wedding, yes.

That will be one of the biggest
wedding's of the season.

Yeah you flatter us, but we do
expect it to be a pretty good party.

So, can you please help us out?

There's something I have to tell...
Sorry, sorry.

Everything okay Amy?

Yeah, I have to tell you...
I can't wait to get started.

- Fantastic!
- Thank you so much.

You have no idea what
this means to us.

Well great.

What have I done?

You told a white lie,
it's not that big a deal.

I pretended to be my boss to get
work from a high powered attorney.

He could sue me for fraud.

Okay fine.
A gray lie.

Oh my god.

You can't forget these alright.
You're gonna need your energy.

- Where do you keep your heels?
- Back of the closet.

Don't think of it as lying okay?

Think of it as saving
your boss a lot of work.

Well if I pull this off
Ms. Bennett will get to plan...

...one of the biggest weddings
of the year.

You see, it's a win win.

And this can just be a funny story
we tell the company Christmas parties.

That's my girl.
Alright, try these.

It's a hiking lodge Howard.
I can't wear high heels.

- Honey, see you're thinking
like Loretta Johnson though.

Okay you need to start
thinking like Amy Bennett.

Hey what if I came with you?

I could be Amy's assistant.

I don't think we should stack anymore
lies onto this than we have to.

Look, I gotta shoot in Memphis
this weekend anyway okay.

And it's been six months. I gotta
see your hometown at some point.

There's not much to see.

Well if it produced a woman like you,
I'm sure it's wonderful.

You always did love azaleas.

Loretta!
Oh my goodness!

Hi!

Why didn't you tell me
you were coming home?

Are you here for
the spring festival?

Not exactly.

Yeah.

- And I have to call you Amy?
- Only in front of Paul and Arthur.

Are you sure you just
can't tell them the truth?

If I tell the truth now they'll
call my boss and I'll get fired.

- Think Wayne will go for it?
- I'm not sure he's gonna have a choice.

- What do you mean?
- Well, don't tell him I said this,

but since you've been gone,
Sundown's not doing so well.

What?

Well Wayne, he's great with the
outdoors stuff but you know Wayne.

He's just not organized enough
to keep up with the events.

No, you two were a great team.

- Do you still help out over there?
- No, not so much.

I think Wayne's afraid that
he can't afford to pay me.

I had not idea the inn
was in this much trouble.

Honey, it's not your fault.
What could you do?

You're out there living in LA.

Hello Wayne.

You shouldn't be
wearing high heels.

Could stick in the mud
and twist an ankle.

Good to see you too.

And you Abby!

- Trouble with the engine?
- Nothing I can't handle.

- If you want, I could take a look at it.
- What are you doing here Loretta?

I have some work for you.

- Feel free to call our booking line.
- You mean your cellphone?

- It's a small operation.
- You never answer when I call.

Can you blame me?

Two clients, three days,
deep pockets.

You have been in LA too long if
you think I care about deep pockets.

- They already gave me the deposit.
- Why did they give it to you for?

- You don't work here.
- I'm their event planner.

Actually that's complicated.

- Complicated how?
- Well they think I'm my boss.

So all this getup is
some sort of disguise?

And all you'd have to do
is call me Amy.

I am not interested.
Safe travels Loretta.

I'm glad you found yourself
out there on the coast.

How's the inn doing Wayne?

What is that supposed to mean?

Please.
Okay it's three days.

You could use the money to
finally refurbish the old barn.

I'm sorry,
but we are all booked up.

Have a safe trip home.

It was good to see you Wayne.

I mean it.

That barn is long past due
for some renovations.

Sure is.

I don't see why we couldn't fit in
a couple more guests.

Great, I already told them yes.
They'll be here Friday.

So what'd you tell your boss?

I was going home
for a quick vacation.

And she believed that?

- I should visit more.
- That's fine.

We'll see you every time
you pretend to be your boss.

Obviously my clients will stay
in the main house.

- Really?
- Yeah for what they're paying?

Fine, we have the Millers but I guess
they can stay in one of the cottages.

And I told my mom we'd hire
her back on for the weekend.

And here I thought
I owned this place.

Well we need her help.
It can come out of my cut.

When was the last
time you dusted?

- I leave the windows open on Sundays.
- Yeah that's not how dust works.

Fine, we'll...
we'll do some dusting too.

And now you don't
like my coffee.

Well, these guys drink French
press coffee in an actual French cafe.

They're not gonna drink
Doug's Mellow Brew Mud.

Well that's a shame 'cause Doug
makes a mean cup of coffee.

What is all this?

I'm working on the itinerary
for the weekend.

- An itinerary?
- Yeah a schedule.

Yeah I know what an itinerary is,
why do we need one?

Well, there's a lot riding on this weekend.
Not just for me but for Paul too.

You mentioned that Paul's gonna
ask this billionaire Andrew...

- Arthur.
- Paul is gonna ask Arthur...

...if he can marry his daughter
and he wants to do it out here?

Arthur's an outdoorsman.

Paul wants to show that he's
capable in the outdoors.

- But he's not.
- That' why we need a plan.

We need to put Paul in positions
that make him look comfortable.

Alright.

You might be the event wizard, but
out in the woods, that is my domain.

I have never used an itinerary
and I'm not gonna start now.

I need to make a shopping list.

Do you have any pens or are
those not part of your domain?

- Drawer under the telephone.
- Thank you.

- No stamps.
- What?

You got a passport?

Once you left I thought
it would be a good idea.

So you would leave
Saint Francisville?

- It's just a passport.
- So that's a no.

You know, maybe I don't see much
of a reason to go anyplace else.

Well you must of thought about it.

Didn't you say we've
got some work to do?

Let's take a look at that truck engine
while we still have daylight.

- I told you I could handle that.
- Wayne, are you still insecure...

...about my superior
mechanic skills?

- Look just, don't get electrocuted.
- Do you know nothing about engines?

Honestly I just hope for the best.
It works most of the time.

Well maybe if you focused
on the details a little more...

...stuff would work all the time.
Want me to start it for you?

Hey sounds good.

What do you say we take
it for a test drive?

No, no, I need to wash up
before Turner and my mom get here.

- Come on Lori, quick spin.
- Fine.

Well it seems to be working,
so if I could just get back to the inn...

- What are you doing?
- You don't ever just waste 15 minutes?

Look at where you are.

The sky.
These trees, this town.

Saint Francisville is in my
blood, you don't feel that?

We should get back.

Yeah sure, okay.

- So there we were lost, hungry.
- Tired.

Dog tired.

And Wayne wants to call Loretta.

I have had to wake up Loretta.
That is not a decision you make lightly.

So we're arguing, and who should
appear but Loretta herself.

You two, talk about a sad sight.

Wayne says, "Honey,
how did you find us?"

And she says "Well you two
are making so much racket

"I heard you clear from the tree line".

So, Wayne says,
"Honey, you said you wanted

"wild violets for your party.

"And if it takes me all night
I'm gonna get you some".

And Loretta says,
"Well Wayne, that's very sweet

"but when I said
I wanted wild violets

"I meant I wanted you to go in
my mom's store "and pick some up".

Loretta, we're lost without you.
It's great to have you back.

Oh, Turner.
I'm not back back.

- What do you mean?
- I'm only here for work.

I go back to Los
Angeles next week.

Hey Turner.

Hey, staying with your mom?

My old room.

Coming back home can be
one heck of a thing.

- Everything good in LA?
- Yeah.

Yeah I mean,
my job's a little crazy,

but I'm seeing someone
so that's nice.

Really?

- Have you told Wayne?
- Well is hasn't come up.

Wonder why that is?

I need a hammer and nails.

- Do I wanna know?
- The signs crooked.

No.

Wayne, it's hanging
from a piece of twine.

Exactly. The first thing
you see you go okay...

...at the Sundown Lodge
I don't need to be perfect.

Paul and Arthur are
gonna be here any minute.

I don't have time to argue
with you about this.

Check the barn, there should
be some nails in the toolbox.

- Thank you.
- Put your shoes on.

Hey you find anything?

- What?
- You said you were looking for nails.

- Yeah yeah, I found some.
- Well that's gonna have to wait.

Your guests have
arrived Ms. Bennett.

Okay.

Hello there.

- Mr. Wellerson?
- Guilty.

You must be Amy Bennett.

- This is Wayne Hendricks, he owns the inn.
- Great to meet you Wayne.

Looks like you've got a beautiful
piece of property here.

- Thank you Arthur.
- And I'm sorry we're late.

- I wasn't driving.
- What's that?

- Nothing Paul.
- Okay.

Mrs. Johnson, could you show
Mr. Wellerson to his room?

Of course Ms. Bennett.
It's right this way.

No no, I could not let you do that.

Lead the way.

- Mr. Perenti, so glad you're here.
- Glad to be here Amy.

You have a...

Oops, I must have missed one.

- I'm Paul.
- Wayne.

- Are those new boots?
- Yup.

Guy at the store said
they were top of the line.

Well new boots can blister your feet.
I'll find you some old ones.

Thanks. Well I just want you
to know I'm a little nervous.

After this weekend Arthur goes
to Tanzania for two months.

This is my last
chance for a while.

Don't worry, we're gonna show
Arthur the time of his life.

Was the journey okay?

So we're supposed to make that guy
look like an outdoorsman?

He looks like a mannequin
in a hiking catalog.

Please, don't embarrass him.

I'm sure he'll do
plenty well of that on his own.

Alright, I'll see you outside Amy.

I can't help but notice you've had
your eyes up in the trees.

- Yeah there's a bird I'm looking for.
- Which one?

- You ever hear of a pileated woodpecker?
- The same one as Woody Woodpecker?

Very good.

Yeah I hear you got 'em down here.

Well not real active
this time of year,

but, one morning we can make
a mission of finding one.

- Were the boots okay Mr. Perenti?
- It was fine.

How much further?

- Here.
- What?

- Trade packs with me, mines lighter.
- No really, I'm fine.

The hike's at least
another couple miles.

Can we switch back
once I catch my breath?

- Absolutely.
- Okay.

Come on now.

What, are you lagging behind already
Paul? We're just getting started.

- Oh no, Mr. Perenti came
back for me when I fell behind.

He's like a gazelle.

Arthur and I were just
discussing the route.

- Aren't we taking the Gullawack?
- No Gullawack's barely a hike.

Well as I said in my itinerary, the
Gullawack's a good warmup for the hike.

The Gullawack isn't gonna push
a gazelle like Paul.

Right Paul?

How ya feeling Arthur?

Hey, fresh as a daisy.

What do you say
we try a real hike?

No trails, see where
the trees lead us.

See, that sounds like
an adventure to me.

All settled then.
Let's go exploring.

- Can we take a break?
- The gazelle wearing out?

No, no, it's me.
I have weak ankles.

Great.
Come on Paul.

- So did you grow up around here Amy?
- What, why do you ask?

You seem to know your way
around pretty well.

I brought a lot of clients.

You sure you didn't
grow up around here

because I had an ex-girlfriend
and you are her spitting image.

- Must have one of those faces.
- Well that must be it.

Well, if the lady's
ankles have recovered,

we should be heading home soon.

- Hey, how was the hike?
- Paul barely made it, the poor thing.

Well I'm glad I made extra.
There'll be some hungry boys.

- What'd you make?
- Spam sausage.

Mom you didn't.

Well we always used to serve
spam sausage on the first night.

I don't want Paul to look
squeamish in front of Arthur.

Well he'll just have to make do.

Okay don't lie,
just don't get specific.

Oh boy.

- Hello?
- Hey Amy, it's Michelle.

- Hey Ms. Wellerson.
- Soon to be Mrs. Perenti I hope.

Sure, Arthur and Paul
are really hitting it off.

Oh god, that's such a relief.

My father can be
very hard to impress.

I better head back inside.
We're about to sit down for dinner.

Amy, please. I know this
whole thing can seem antiquated,

but promise me you will
get Paul my father's blessing.

I promise.

Thank you.

I'll talk to you soon.

Well it sounds like Amy Bennett
has everything under control.

Yeah.

Thank you Susan.

Sorry, still work hours
on the west coast.

What?!
They work in LA?

Some of us actually
work pretty hard Arthur.

I know you do Paul.
Just kidding around.

- This sausage smells great.
- Thank you, it's old recipe.

While we have a moment,

I thought we could go through the
itinerary for the next couple of days.

Well, this looks, very detailed.

I think what Amy wants is for us

to get the most out
of our time here.

What do you say we
play things by ear?

I need to narrow things down.

Now there's a man
after my own heart.

You know what, I'll look
over this later on alright?

There's nothing wrong
with having a few ideas.

- Sure I can't help with those dishes?
- Please, you're our guest.

Alright.
See y'all tomorrow.

- Goodnight Arthur.
- Goodnight.

Hey careful, those are antiques.

Come on, I called
you Amy all night,

I took your clients out for a great
hike, what more do you want?

You've been trying to humiliate
Mr. Perenti since he got here.

- I am not trying to humiliate Paul!
- Keep your voice down.

If this is how you treat guests
no wonder the inn is in...

- No wonder the inn is what?
- Don't worry about it.

You don't worry about anything
right? Just play it by ear.

Even if Paul gets Arthur's
blessing, then what?

He spends the rest of his life
pretending to be someone he's not?

Why does that sound familiar?

Loretta, I'm sorry.

My dad told me you never see more
stars than in a Saint Francisville sky.

That's kinda hard to argue
on a night like this.

But how would he know, he never left
Saint Francisville his entire life.

That last summer I was here,

I didn't wanna live my whole life

and think I'd missed my chance
to see the world.

Don't stay out here too long.

We got a big day tomorrow.

I love these late harvest berries.

They're like candy.

Mom is everything okay?

You should tell Arthur
and Paul the truth.

- I want to, I do...
- Then why don't you?

Your father and I
raised you to be honest.

No matter the consequences.

I'm going to tell them. I'm just
waiting for the right moment.

You don't need the right moment
to tell the truth.

I mean, you know.

Something on your mind?

I mean I remember you being bad but
I don't remember you being this bad.

- Throwing arm must still be asleep.
- Yeah, must be.

You ever think about
leaving Saint Francisville?

- Well I went to the Bahamas last December.
- You never told me that.

What do you think I do when
you shut down for the winter?

Do you think I just roast
pecans and twiddle my thumbs?

I guess I'm crazy if you're thinking
this town is all I need.

Wayne.

Look at where I'm standing.

Home isn't where you go,
it's where you come back.

- That's pretty good.
- Read it off a bottle cap.

Good morning Arthur.

- Morning.
- Morning.

- What is this?
- Mi Esperanza, it's from Honduras.

It's delicious Arthur.

Mi Esperanza. This stuff's
like 35 bucks a pound.

Well we wanted to make sure
you're as comfortable as possible.

I appreciate the gesture but,
I just like my coffee a little simpler.

I think we have simpler coffee
lying around somewhere.

Hey you guys
need to get ready to go.

- Why, where are we going?
- Port Hudson.

Yes, it's part of Spring Festival.
They're giving tours of civil war sights.

Well yeah, it was on my itinerary.

Itinerary yes.
I told ya I'd look it over.

More walking.

- Would you be joining us Amy?
- Sure.

I'll change into something
more comfortable and then...

Actually Amy and I have
some errands to run in town.

We'll catch up
with you in a bit.

Doug's Mellow Brew Mud.
I'm gonna have to give this a try.

What are you doing?

Well there are classic cars this year
so I think if we go around the...

Why don't you look with your
eyes, not your itinerary.

- Well I'll be.
- Good morning Burt.

Loretta Johnson.

- I'd heard rumors.
- Good ears.

News travels fast
in a small town.

- Truck looks great.
- Don't she?

Yeah, see what happens when
you take care of something?

Remember Loretta's old car?

You used to cruise around
that little red Miata.

I can't believe
you remember my Miata.

- And your mom drives a two tone
teal green Subaru station wagon.

And your dad, he drove
that 68 Chevy Nova SS,

big block 396 rock crusher,
four speed two door coupe.

Got some work coming your way.
Fixing up that old barn.

Finally, you've only been talking
about it for like two years.

Well Loretta brought some clients
and they're overpaying frankly so...

Don't sell yourself short Wayne.

Sometimes, the good guys win.

Y'all have a fun day.
And you come back and see me.

I will do.
So good to see you.

See ya bud, have fun.
Alrighty.

Gosh, I haven't seen Burt in so long.

- What a spread!
- You're so sweet.

And Loretta, I haven't
seen you in ages.

Smell these pecans.
I have got to get a jar.

Of course.

Alright, how much do I owe ya?

After what you did for us,
they're on the house.

Thank you.

Hey Wayne. Forgot to show you
something. Come her real quick.

Sure thing Burt.
I will be right back.

- I wish you'd let us pay for those.
- No way.

When my husband broke his ankle,

Wayne stepped up and helped out
with our harvest. Free of charge!

We would have been
sunk without him.

Sorry, Burt was just showing me
pictures of his new plane.

Burt has a plane?

Yeah, yeah, this little
crop duster he fixed up.

He's been volunteering
it to hospitals.

Back and forth between
Baton Rouge and Dallas

and that sort of thing.

- Captain Burt.
- I know right?

Well, we have bothered
Mrs. Wilson long enough.

Let's get moving.

Stop.
Don't forget your pecans.

How could I.

- Thank you Mrs. Wilson.
- You're welcome, bye bye.

- Good to see you.
- Enjoy the festival.

That was very sweet of you
to help Mrs. Wilson like you did.

Well this is Saint Francisville.
We help our neighbors.

Thank you Wayne.

We can catch up with
Paul and Arthur if we...

Wait.

Can I grab one of these?

Wild violets.

Took me a couple of years,
but I finally found you some.

- Okay, what is this?
- Well it's the Spring Festival.

No, this. I feel like you're playing
me a Saint Francisville mix tape.

After what you said about
your father never leaving town...

...I wanted to remind you
that Saint Francisville

isn't the worst place
to spend your life.

Well that's very sweet.

Five bucks.

What?

Oh man.

- Everything okay Mr. Perenti?
- Yeah yeah, just got a,

I don't...

Here.

Any progress with
Arthur on the walk?

Not an inch.

- I don't mean to add more pressure...
- I know.

Michelle would marry me with
or without Arthur's blessing.

I just don't want to put her
in that position.

There's still time.

- Hey there's getting it out there.
- Yeah, a little better.

It's kind of all on
the rod tip isn't it?

So what do you think of Paul?

- I think he's a nice enough guy.
- Yeah he is.

Just not the kind of guy I pictured
marrying my daughter I guess.

- Need any help with that?
- I got it.

- Sure is a pretty day huh?
- Yeah, sure is.

- Get any bites?
- Yeah, yeah.

- Lot of fun fishing.
- Yeah.

Yeah it is.

At least he's trying.

Maybe that's the problem,
he's trying too hard.

You should tell him to be himself,
he'd get a lot further that way.

You know, I am out here every day
and still I forget how pretty it can be.

It's like I'm seeing it
for the first time.

- A little knotted up.
- It came from Paul's reel.

Oh boy.

It's not that bad. You think
you could give me a hand?

You know the secret
to untangling a knot?

- A knife?
- Yeah sure.

You could always give up, cut it loose.

Or you find where the lines starts.

If you find where the line starts

you can follow it
all the way to the end.

Yeah.

I found the ring in your toolbox.

Lori...

You were gonna propose?

Maybe it's a good thing I didn't.

What do you mean?

Well your big opportunity in LA,
you would of had to choose.

That wouldn't be fair to you.

But you didn't know I was leaving.
Why didn't you propose sooner?

We had a good thing going.

And it never really felt
like the right moment.

What if there's no such thing
as the right moment?

What if that's just an excuse we use
to put off doing hard things?

I need to tell Paul
and Arthur the truth.

- Are you sure?
- It's gonna come out sooner or later.

It might as well be sooner.

That takes guts.

- Hello?
- Hi.

Who is this?

Well who's this?

This is Amy Bennett,
I was looking for Loretta.

Where did I put that phone?

Looking for this?

Yeah thanks.

Everything okay?

I'm a little sore.

Came in looking for some ice and
then you got a phone call.

- Okay.
- From Amy Bennett.

- Don't worry I covered for you.
- Mr. Perenti I am so sorry.

If this weekend hasn't been
embarrassing enough for me...

- Look, I was gonna tell you...
- Why did you lie to me?

I was mad at my boss for
passing me up for promotion.

I thought if I did this on my own,

she could see that I could be
more than just an assistant.

You're her assistant.
That's just perfect.

I'll talk to Arthur in the morning.
And accept full responsibility.

No.

That'll make me look even worse.

What do you want me to do?

I guess just keep up the Amy Bennett
act for the rest of the weekend.

And then when we get back to LA
we'll have a much longer conversation.

I need you to keep calling me Amy.

- What happened to telling the truth?
- Paul found out last night.

He's afraid it'll make him look bad.

So Arthur's the only one
that doesn't know?

Yeah.

You better hope he doesn't find out.
I don't think he'd like being the

only one not in on a secret.

We are going to split up into groups
of two so we can cover more woods.

Arthur, you and Susan stick together.
Paul, you're with Amy.

Maybe Arthur and Paul
could go together.

I want one person in
each group that knows

the woods so nobody gets lost.

I gave each one of you
one of Abby's old dog trackers.

If you see the wood pecker
we don't wanna spook him

so hit the button on the side.

It'll come up on my phone
and we will come find you.

Now you could hook it
on your belt and let's do it.

After you Mrs. Johnson.

Come on Paul.

I'm sorry Mr. Perenti.

I know this weekend hasn't
exactly gone according to my plan.

No it hasn't Amy, Loretta.

But I tell you what.

I would spend a thousand
weekends like this for Michelle.

She's lucky to have you.

You ever felt that way about anyone?
Or anything?

I'm not sure.

Well you did lie to further your career
so you must want that pretty badly.

- Hey, something the matter ma'am?
- Are you always so set in your ways?

- I'm not so set in my ways.
- I don't know about that.

I think it's good to change
the way we think from time to time.

At least the way we
think about people.

- Oh you mean Paul.
- I think you should give him a chance.

I just want what's best
for my daughter.

And how would you know
what's best for your daughter?

We do the best we can but,

at some point, they become
their own person.

So if Paul makes
your daughter happy,

maybe that's what's
best for her.

Oh shoot.

Don't worry, it happens all the time.

- Would you please stop doing that?
- What?

Telling me everything's okay.
I mess up I mess up.

Sorry.

Wait wait wait.

Do you hear that?
Pileated woodpecker.

Got him!

You're a wise woman Mrs. Johnson.

Well maybe wisdom comes with age.

Yeah, we both ought
to be pretty wise then.

Any luck?

Awe no woodpeckers but, you know,
a day spent in the woods is never wasted.

I'm sorry Arthur.
I thought we'd find one.

- Where's Amy and Paul?
- We haven't seen them.

Maybe I should.
One sec.

And that was Paul's tracker.

He probably fell down
and pushed the button.

- Or maybe he found a bird.
- Alright come on.

- You're absolutely sure?
- I'm sure.

'Cause a lot of different birds
sound the same you know?

Loretta, I know you think
I'm helpless.

In your defense I've given you
plenty of reason.

- But in this case I am sure okay.
- Okay.

Good.

Hey, you find anything?

- Paul thought he heard...
- I know what I heard.

It's around here somewhere.

It can be tough. The way the bird
calls bounce around the trees.

There it is!
There it is.

See.

- Well I'll be.
- Well look at that little cutie.

- Paul how'd you know?
- I knew what I heard.

I looked up the call online
this morning.

Sounds almost like a monkey.

Boy Paul!

You should see Tanzania Paul.

Impalas, far as the eye can see.
Herds of them.

- Really?
- You've seen Impalas.

- Only in pictures.
- Well, pictures don't do 'em justice.

I don't know what you told Arthur
mom, but it did the trick.

You have to tell Arthur
the truth about who you are.

Mom please, Arthur and Paul
are finally getting along.

- She's got a point Ms. Johnson.
- What, now you too?

Alright, I'm gonna go start dinner.
See you two inside.

She's right, this whole thing's
gotten out of hand.

If Paul already knows the truth,
then Arthur,

maybe I'd wait until he signs
the marriage license.

God this weekend...

...I would never have been
able to do without you.

Be careful, you aint
out of the woods yet.

- Are you expecting more guests?
- No.

Howard?

- Howard!
- Well hello darling.

I tried to call, believe me but,
you know, service looks a little,

a little spotty down here.

- Hey man, Howard Hodgekiss.
- Wayne Hendricks.

I thought you were filming
in Memphis?

Yeah yeah I had the evening off
so, you know, road trip.

Yeah I missed you,

Amy.

Wait, Wayne knows who I am
so you don't have to call me Amy.

Okay, got it.
Our little secret huh?

- Wait a minute...
- Loretta's boyfriend, yeah.

Yeah, I just hope she doesn't
talk about me too much.

- Things are delicate right now.
- Delicate how?

Well Mr. Perenti and Mr. Wellerson
are finally getting along.

Well what do you think
I'm gonna do?

- I just don't want a scene.
- Honey, why would I make a scene?

Though I was thinking
on the ride down here,

would Amy Bennett really
be dating an actor?

- Absolutely.
- Just hear me out.

Or, would she be with,

Pierce Bonham, galleria
owner and aficienado.

When Ms. Bennett first strode
into my art gallery,

it was like a masterpiece come to life.

What was it you came in for
that first night my love?

Was it a, a Monet print
for your charity auction yes?

You remember it better than I do.

And just like that,
we fell in love.

- Where's your gallery Pierce?
- Small neighborhood.

If you aren't from Los Angeles you...

Silver Lake, Venice, Beverly Hills?

Ms. Johnson,
could you show Pierce to his room?

- Absolutely.
- Pardon me.

Right this way.

Take your time.
As much as you need.

Well he's quite a character.

Character's right.

- So you're dating Loretta.
- Who?

- It's okay I'm Loretta's mother.
- Hi.

- It's so nice to finally meet you.
- Finally?

How long have you two
been dating?

- Well April makes, about six months.
- Six months.

That sounds serious.

- Yeah, we're taking it pretty slow.
- Yes, I'd say very slow.

She hasn't even mentioned you,
much less brought you home to visit.

Well look, I've been wanting
to come,

but, you know Loretta.
She just works so hard.

Yes she does.

- Enjoy your stay.
- Okay.

Wayne.

Wayne talk to me.

What's there to talk about?
Pierce?

- He seems like a great guy.
- I'm sorry I didn't tell you.

I don't care.

You might want to tell him
to tone down the act though.

So Howard's an actor,
he can be a little dramatic.

He's an actor. 'Cause Pierce
Bohnam really had me fooled.

You know you're kind of being a jerk.
You never even asked if I was single.

Kinda how Arthur never asked
if you're really Amy Bennett?

That's not the same thing
and you know it.

You're right, I'm sorry.

You've got your life in LA,
I've got my life here.

I get that now.

- Hey.
- Hey.

You didn't think that Pierce Bonham
might have been a little bit much?

My boyfriend.
I didn't ask him to do that.

Loretta...

If a story starts with a lie, does
it matter if it has a happy ending?

- I don't know Mr. Perenti.
- Neither do I.

I don't know if Arthur's ever gonna
think I'm good enough for his daughter.

This weekend has been hard.

But the hardest part by far has been
being away from Michelle.

Ask him for his blessing tonight.

- What if he says no?
- Then he says no.

But you can waste your whole life
waiting for the right moment.

You have to ask him.

You a picker?

Yeah, I might of had a band
back in college.

Fire's going. You should
come out and play something.

No.
I couldn't do that.

Arthur, I could sure use
a love song right about now.

I might have one.

Well I might be a little
rusty so hang with me.

- Very nice.
- Thanks.

- Is there anything that you can't do?
- Well, I'm not a very good dancer.

Actually that's not true.
I'm a great dancer.

- Arthur.
- Yeah Paul.

There's something
that I've been wanting...

I'm sorry to interrupt.

I just, I simply can't hold it in
any longer.

I was going to do this
back in Los Angeles but,

after hearing Arthur's song
I just, I can't.

I can't wait another minute.

Amy Antoinette Bennett,

will you marry me?

Is this for real?

- Congratulations.
- Yeah, I guess love is in the air huh?

Was that real?

What do you mean?

Well was that Pierce
proposing to Amy

or was that Howard
proposing to Loretta?

You know, I got lost
in the character.

- I can't marry you.
- I'm so glad you said that.

I've been hiding away. Not just
from you but from myself too.

I'm so sorry.

Yeah it's been six months.
Never thought to bring me here.

This is your home.

I guess you never saw me
being a part of that.

You know I think I got lost
in Pierce and Amy because

inside I kind of knew
that Howard and Loretta...

Weren't meant to be.

It's alright.

Alright, I'm gonna head out.

Sorry Pierce is leaving ya
with a bit of a mess.

Don't worry about it.
I could do with a plot twist anyway.

We'll always have brunch.

We'll always have brunch.

Pierce had to head back to Memphis.
He's sorry he couldn't stay for dinner.

Oh well that's too bad.

Hey Paul, before Pierce
stole the show out there,

it seemed like there was something
you were trying to say.

There was.

I mean, there is.

Well go ahead.

Excuse me.

Before I bring out supper,
I would like to propose a toast.

First, to Arthur and to Paul.

We sincerely hope that
you had a really good time.

It could not have been
any better Susan.

Really.

And to Ms. Bennett.

I know your own mother could not
be here for your engagement so,

I would like to congratulate you
on her behalf.

Now I can only say what I would say
to my own daughter which is,

you are my whole world.

And I wish you the happiest life
that you can ever imagine.

I'm sorry, I can't do this.

I should have done
this a long time ago.

My name is not Amy Bennett.
It's Loretta Johnson.

I grew up in Saint Francisville Louisiana
and this is my mother.

Come on,
what are you talking about?

I pretended to be my boss so Mr. Perenti
would hire me to plan this trip.

I don't understand.
You know about this Paul?

- Not at first.
- So you did know about this?

Arthur, I eventually figured it out.

Please, I would do anything
for your daughter

and I didn't wanna disrupt
this weekend.

So you were all in on this?

Well you must think
I'm a pretty big joke huh?

Hope you had a good laugh.

Arthur, it's not like that.

I'm really not in the mood
for I told you so's.

- Actually I'm impressed.
- Impressed?

- This is a disaster.
- Yeah it's a disaster.

But before it turned
into a disaster,

you showed those
guys a great weekend.

God, I don't know what to do.

Well you know where
those answers aren't?

In that binder.

The plan's kaput.

And that leaves you
with one option, to improvise.

But I'm not like you.

I don't just improvise.
I plan things out.

Loretta, listen to me.

You are the smartest person
that I know.

If anybody can figure this out,
it's you.

Hey Wayne.

What's Burt's phone number?

Good morning.

- Loretta Johnson.
- I think we've met.

You met Amy Bennett.
Now you're meeting me.

Well nice to meet you Loretta.

There's someone here
who wants to talk to you.

- I don't wanna talk to Paul.
- It's not Paul.

Sweetheart!

Hi dad!

- Well how...
- Fresh off a red eye.

There's a red eye from Los Angeles
to Saint Francisville?

LA to Dallas.

My friend Burt picked her up
in his plane

so she could see you
before you left for Tanzania.

You flew an airplane in the middle
of the night from Dallas Texas?

He's from Saint Francisville.
Neighbors help each other.

I'm exhausted.

So if you could hear what I have
to say that would be great.

- All ears.
- I am going to marry Paul.

And I'm not asking you,
I'm letting you know.

I love him dad.
And he loves me.

He came with you this weekend
and he hates the outdoors.

If you can't see
what a great guy he is then...

...I'm sorry, we're gonna
have to get married

without your blessing.

Come on out Paul.

Are you gonna make
my daughter happy?

Yes sir.

And I never meant anything
more my entire life.

Well, I know you don't need it,
but you have my blessing.

Thank you dad.

Hello.

- Good morning Ms. Bennett.
- Loretta, I hope you're well rested,

we have a lot of work to do.

Actually there's something
I have to tell you.

I pretended to be you so that
Mr. Perenti would hire me.

Things are a whole lot simpler
when you're a dog huh?

But he has given us
the Perenti-Wellerson wedding.

So that's what happened.

If you want to fire me
I understand.

Yeah.

You put at risk the integrity of my company,
everything that I've worked for.

I know, I'm sorry.

Younger me would've done
the same thing.

So you're not firing me?

I do admit that the Perenti-Wellerson
wedding does soften the blow.

Oh my god I can't believe it.

I always knew that you were great
with a plan. Very smart Loretta.

I just needed to see you
sail uncharted waters

before I made you lead planner.

- You're making me lead planner?
- I know, shocked myself.

I must be loopy from the flu meds?

Wait, what about Elizabeth?

She took a job doing Oktoberfest
tours. Beer crazy that one.

- Thank you so much Ms. Bennett!
- You and your southern manners.

- You're coming back today right?
- My flight's in two hours.

Great, I will see you
in my office tomorrow.

Lead planner.

See ya there.

Oh my god.

Thanks for everything mom.

Sweetheart, don't wait
two years to visit next time.

I won't, I promise.

- Heard you got that big promotion.
- How did you...

I might have been eavesdropping.

Wayne...

On behalf of everybody from
Saint Francisville Louisiana,

let me just say congratulations.

We couldn't be more proud of you.

You deserve it.

Thank you.

- So you see your lady off?
- Yeah, shouldn't be on a safari?

Tanzania's not going anywhere.

I wanna see if there's
any fish left in this river.

Sundown fever. I've seen it happen
to better men than you.

You have have you?

- You've traveled a lot.
- Seven continents.

Well in all your travels,

you ever feel like
you lost track of home?

Wayne, you know,

when I was a kid I was sweet
on this little girl Lucille.

- Lucille huh?
- Yeah.

Me and Lucille were walking
home from church one day

and she pointed out a bird.

Now we didn't have a
clue what it was but,

we just knew it looked
like Woody Woodpecker.

And that's not the best part.

While I was looking at the bird, Lucille
gave me a kiss right on the cheek.

- Arthur you dog.
- Yeah.

Must have been quite a kiss.

Lucille ended up becoming my wife.

Wayne I've traveled
the world over.

You know I never forgot
that pileated woodpecker,

Lucille,

or my hometown.

Hey you better go get her kid.

She's something special.

We are gonna be burning a lot of midnight
oil to plan Paul and Michelle's wedding

and keep up with the other events.

Yes ma'am.

I had a thought.

- You take over the Richmond Ball.
- You're kidding.

2,000 guests, paparazzi,
one night, all eyes on you.

I was expecting a little bit
more jumping up and down.

- This is your dream right?
- Right.

Good.

Alright, so what do you think
about this with this?

Yeah great.

Wayne?

Can I come in?

Yeah.

You got on an airplane?

Security is...

And is LA's weather always like this
because that would drive me insane.

- What are you doing here?
- I wanted to see the ocean.

- And your mom told me about Pierce.
- You mean Howard.

Guess things didn't work out.

You flew across the country
to talk to me about my breakup?

No, no I flew across
the country to tell you

that I am crazy
about you Loretta.

All that wide open space,
it feels empty without you.

Now maybe I'm too late,
maybe I missed my moment but,

I just wanted to tell you how I feel.

And now I have.

So...

I quit my job.

But you love your job.

I know, it was everything
I thought I wanted.

- So what's the plan?
- I don't have a plan.

I don't know what's gonna
happen next.

All I know is,

I wanna be with you.

I wanna come home.

- Hey there beautiful.
- Hey.

So glad Paul and Michelle decided
to have their wedding here.

Oh me too.

- And these azaleas, beautiful.
- They were mom's idea.

Locally grown too.

- You nervous Arthur?
- No.

No.

Maybe.

Don't lock your knees
and you'll be fine.

She's all yours Paul.

Thank you sir.

Come on,
I wanna show you something.

I don't know what's more
beautiful. This lake or you.

You brought me all the way
out here to tell me that?

No, I brought out here
to give you this.

Now I don't know
if the timing feels right.

I just know that every moment
with you feels right.

- I love you Loretta Johnson.
- I love you too Wayne Hendricks.

I wanna show you the world.

As long as we always come back here.

Will you marry me?

Yes, absolutely.
