We will see you in three weeks for alterations.

Congratulations, again!

Hannah.

I know, I know.

But before you say anything,

when was the last time I was late?

I wasn't going to say, anything.

Okay, you're right. There was that one time five years ago

when I accidentally got my hair stuck in the sewing machine, but-

Hannah, calm down.

You're what, five minutes late?

It's fine.

Really?

Yes.

You stayed after closing just about every night this week doing alterations.

Give yourself a break.

Well, thank you, but you should know this isn't me.

Punctuality is my love language.

Oh, we know.

Remember that one time I was ten minutes late, twice in one week?

Oh, yes, late gate.

I didn't think she'd ever recover.

Well, I didn't make that big a deal.

Are you joking?

Your eye just kept twitching for days.

All the brides thought that they could get a discount on the dresses because

you were, like, winking, about the price.

I sometimes have that when I get nervous.

I know that, but still. It's fine.

Now that we're all here, let's debrief.

Now, wedding season is just around

the corner, and we have a ton of new dresses coming in.

Now, that means ramping up our social media and getting the word out.

Let's show a, a different side to Millington's.

Okay, but how are we going to show a different side to Millington's if we're

always carrying the same designers, the same silhouettes?

I know.

I was hoping for a bit more variety this season,

but this is what the buyers chose, so...

Sure,

the dresses are all similar, but the brides are all different.

We can customize each dress to suit

the bride's unique personality by altering and accessorizing.

Let's challenge the traditional bridal look.

Yes, think outside the box!

We can showcase a tiara

with a simple sheath dress!

Yes, Hannah that is so good.

That's a fantastic idea, ladies.

Let's roll with it and see what other

interesting combinations we can come up with.

Gorge- we're on it.

Now, Hannah, I know you have a ton

of alterations to do, so let's get back to work, ladies.

Mhmm. Okay.

By the way, your eye is still.

You want to take over Millington's bridal?

No, I want to take over Millington's taxidermy.

Yes, I want to take over Millington's bridal.

You took over from your father,

and now it's time for me to do my part and take over from you.

I'm sorry, Will.

I'm just having a hard time wrapping my head around this.

You've never shown any interest in the family business before.

I know, okay?

I know, dad, but I can handle this.

I've taken lemonade stands and turned them into juicing conglomerates.

I've taken at home fitness routines and turn them into global fitness empires.

I think I can handle a little dress shop.

And therein lies the problem, Will.

Millington's isn't just a dress shop.

Forget that bridal's one of the most competitive, topgrossing industries in the world.

It has history.

And it's about tradition and love and taste, and it means something to people.

And if you want to take over this business, Will,

it has to mean something to you.

It does mean something to me.

Okay?

This business is our family's legacy.

And I want to do it, and you proud.

Okay.

Okay. You want to prove to me you can do this?

You have to start from the ground up.

Our flagship store in Oak Park has an internship program,

and you will be that intern.

An internship?

Really?

Name me three dress silhouettes

and the business is yours.

Lampshade.

Oh, boy.

Internship starts Monday.

Alright. And we're all set.

Grab a candy before you go.

Thanks so much for staying with us.

Oh, thank you.

Hi, Kyle. Hey, Han.

How's my favorite inn owner?

Oh, what can I say, I've known Harry longer.

Hannah, those are for guests.

I know, I know.

Ooh, business seems to be picking up.

Yeah, better than last weekend, anyway.

I think you guys are doing great.

Yeah, it's coming together.

Now if we can just get the word out.

A place this charming won't stay secret long.

Your second favorite inn owner is out back.

Thank you.

Hannah, banana!

Oh!

How's the cutest gal, this side of lake Michigan?

I will let you know when I see her.

The usual.

Thank you.

Hey!

Hey, hey, hey.

What's going on with the face?

What did I tell you about frown lines?

No, relax. Relax.

My client just messaged me asking if her dress is going to be ready this weekend,

and I'm already swamped.

Oh, is this a Millington's client, or?

No, no. One of my own. A vintage commission.

And the dress belongs to her mom, so it has to be perfect.

And I just don't know where I'm going to find the time.

Not to mention Glenda's on the fritz again.

I'm sorry.

Glinda?

Glenda.

You know, Glenda? My sewing machine.

Oh, yeah, that's right.

You name inanimate household objects, that is totally normal.

It's not weird at all.

Wait, why don't you just use one of the sewing machines at Millington's?

I can't use millington's equipment for my own commission.

That'd be a conflict of interest.

I could get fired.

As if they would ever fire you.

You are the best thing to ever happen to that place.

But seriously, look at you.

Maybe Glenda's picking up on your frazzled energy.

I mean, you need to chill out. And when I'm saying that, it's bad.

If you want to do something right, you just need to recenter.

You're allowed to take the night off, you know.

When was the last time you did something nice for yourself?

When was the last time you went on a date?

A date? That's a good one.

Who exactly am I supposed to go on a date with?

Okay, what about...

What about Clive from the hardware store?

He's cute.

Clive from the hardware store is 75.

Do not charge him an extra year.

He is 74. He is very spry.

Thank you. Next.

Alright, what about...

What about, what about.

Whoa, who's that?

I mean, wow.

I know, right?

Oh, Will, this is Harry,

Oh no, dont!

My husband and the co-owner of our glorious inn.

Hello. Hi.

And Will, my long time friend.

It's great to meet you. Good to meet you. Will.

Great name, very regal.

What are you doing in our little town here?

You're here with your wife, girlfriend, boyfriend?

Well, neither actually.

Fantastic.

And are you here for a while or just passing through?

Well, that is yet to be determined.

I can work with that. Why don't you come right this way.

This is my friend Hannah.

Hannah, this is Kyle's friend, Will.

Will, this is my friend Hannah.

Hi. Hi, Hannah.

It's nice to meet you.

So, how do you know each other?

Well, Kyle and I were best friends back in boarding school, actually.

I don't think I would have survived senior year without this guy.

It's been so long.

We have so much to catch up on.

I can't believe you actually bought an inn.

Yeah, well, it's always been Harry's dream here,

so when the opportunity came up, we thought we'd take the leap.

Well, you got to give me the rest of the tour.

But before we do that, you, you have to eat something.

You must be starving, wasting away, sit right there.

And I will go get you something.

Oh, you know, I'm so sorry.

Actually, could you excuse both of us,

for just a second?

I have to take Kyle into the kitchen

for something very important. Right now.

So sorry. Bye bye, now.

Okay. Bye Bye.

Bye.

Oh, I'm so sorry about Harry.

Subtlety isn't exactly his forte.

Oh, please. This is my first rodeo. I mean, you get to a certain age,

and all your married friends make it their job to find you a match.

Right? Like you can't possibly be happy and single.

Exactly. I mean, what's wrong with being single? It's liberating.

You don't have to choose the side of the bed or fight over the remote.

No one can judge you for watching. 'Ready, Set, Cook'.

And why would they? Because that is an excellent show.

You watch RSC?

Are you kidding me? I love it.

Last week when they did the

baked Alaska.

Yes!

How they keep the ice cream cold, I will never understand.

I am telling you, it defies a lot of science.

Right?

If you found the right person,

I could see how it'd be a nice addition to one's life.

Yeah.

I think so too.

Don't ever tell Harry. I'll never hear the end of it.

Oh, your secret's safe with me.

Um, I should get back to work.

It was nice meeting you, Will.

Yeah.

It was nice meeting you, Hannah.

I'll be staying here, so hopefully I'll see you around.

That'd be lovely.

Just let me know if you need anything. I'll be right here, okay?

Hi.

Hi.

You met someone.

I have no idea what you're talking about.

Yes, you do. Who is he?

There is no he. Where are you getting this from?

Your aura.

What?

You've got, like, a love aura.

Becky, I have a customer. That's enough, now. Okay.

Okay, okay. But, if you want to talk about it, I'll be over here.

Shhh. Okay.

This is it.

This is the one.

Okay.

Should we show your maid of honor?

Yes.

I finally found it.

I've been looking for so long, I was beginning to lose hope.

I haven't tried anything that feels so right, so me!

Tammy, what is it?

No, it's nothing. You look beautiful.

It's perfect.

Tammy, you can be honest.

If you hate it, just tell me.

No, it's quite the opposite, actually.

I've already bought the same dress for my wedding.

And I know you've been looking for so long, and it's clearly made for you, so I don't know.

Tammy. Tammy, take a breath.

It's going to be okay. Okay.

This kind of stuff happens all the time.

No one should be punished for having excellent taste.

With the right alteration and a little bit of customizing, we can make this dress

more you while setting it apart from Tammy's.

Let's see. We can add some lace, maybe lengthen the sleeves.

Becky.

Yeah.

Get the cape.

And I know how much you want to showcase these gorgeous shoes, so

take it up a few inches,

and with the cape, voila.

I love it.

It's like a whole new dress.

It's stunnning. You have to get it.

Thank you.

Alright, we'll see you in a couple of weeks for your next fitting.

Thanks. See you then.

Congratulations. Thank you.

New intern starts today.

Oh, thank goodness. We could use an extra set of hands.

I know. I can't wait to meet her.

Me, too.

Will?

Hannah.

What are you doing here? Do you work here?

Yeah.

How did you find me?

Oh, well,

Well, Hannah, I see you two have already met.

Becky, this is our new intern, William Millington.

Welcome.

William Millington?

I know, it's a mouthful.

My parents had a weird sense of humor.

You're the new intern?

Yes, Hannah. Will will be our intern for the season.

His father thought this was a great way

for him to learn the business before taking it over.

Well, nothing's officially yet, but you got to start somewhere, right?

Hannah, as our head stylist, I'll leave Will's education in your hands.

Show him what the Oak Park branch is all about.

Do you think you can do that?

Of course.

I am a professional,

and professionals, they do their jobs well, so that's what I'm going to do.

Okay.

Well,

now that that's all settled,

let's get back to work.

Okay, so maybe I should have mentioned what I was doing in town.

In all fairness, I didn't ask.

Right.

So I guess we're both to blame for this

pleasant surprise?

Sure.

Pleasant.

Okay, this way.

After greeting our guests, we guide them through to the seating area,

where we offer sandwiches, macrons,

I'm sorry, these are real?

Yeah, they wouldn't taste very good if they were plastic.

I just didn't realize we were running a cafe.

We also offer coffee, tea, champagne.

Champagne?

It's a celebration.

Well, it's not their wedding day, though, is it?

No, but it's an important step in the process.

Our goal is to make them feel special.

Is their problem?

It's just that all of this kind of feels like a colossal waste of money.

How is offering our guests the best experience possible, a waste of money?

I just think that we can give them a good experience,

without plying them with alcohol.

It's one glass of champagne. It's standard practice.

Well, you know what?

Next time I'm out with the boys, remind me to stop in at a couple bridal salons.

Moving on.

This is going to be fun.

Ah, I see your eyeing the

'Germain de la Clousier de Printemps des Oiseaux'

hat.

I'm sorry, did you just say this thing was a hat?

Well, it's a fascinator, technically.

It certainly is fascinating.

Wow, good one.

I'm here all week.

Okay, now that you've got the lay of the land,

let me run you through our spring line.

This is Sicily.

A classic trumpet cut that evokes an old Hollywood elegance.

It's light and airy while being impeccably structured.

Excuse me.

You're going to want to remember this.

We carry a version of this dress every season.

It's one of our staples.

Yeah, I've got it.

Tuscany.

Sicily.

Right.

Anyway, we try to pair each bride

with a dress that suits their personality and style.

Also taking into account when and where they're getting married.

Seasons can change everything.

That said, who is this dress for?

Oh, um, people,

women, specifically.

Who, like white.

Wow.

Okay, first of all, this is acrue.

Second of all, this is a bridal shop.

Everything is white.

Well, and acrue apparently.

Try again.

Who is this dress for?

Look, have you ever considered moving the

accessory shelf near the cash register?

Excuse me?

It's just that people are more likely to impulse buy when they're cashing out.

We will take that into consideration.

But about the dress

Yes.

Look.

About the dress,

I can see that you take

your job very seriously, and I appreciate your knowledge,

but the whole fashion side of things just isn't really my area of expertise.

Clearly.

Yeah.

I think I can be more useful to you on the business side of things.

But the business is bridal wear.

How do you expect to run the business if you don't know anything about it?

You sound like my dad.

He sounds like a smart man.

Look,

I just don't think that taking over the business requires you to keep a mental

catalog of all the dress shapes that we carry.

I mean, that's what salespeople are for.

I care about this place.

I've worked here for five years,

and I don't want to see it fall into the wrong hands.

And you're implying my hands are the wrong hands?

Well, until you have the basic knowledge of our inventory, or anything bridal,

for that matter, then, yes, that is what I'm implying.

That's one way to talk to your future boss.

Keyword there is future.

Future boss.

Right now, you are my intern, which means you have to do what I say.

Now, why don't you take a seat and I will introduce you to Audrey.

Hmm. Acrue.

No, this one's white.

Sorry.

Most dresses require one to two fittings,

but more intricate alterations can take up to four.

So who does all the alterations?

I do.

So you're a stylist and a seamstress?

A top stylist, thank you very much.

Okay.

Well, as a top stylist,

wouldn't your time be better spent on the floor rather than splitting your focus?

I think things are working just fine the way they are.

Well, maybe next season we can consider

doing a line that doesn't require so many alterations.

That's impossible.

A, everybody is unique. It's not one size fits all.

B, we don't have our own line.

And C -

Wait, wait, wait.

We don't have our own line?

We carry other designer's dresses here.

You really don't know anything about this company, do you?

Isn't that why have you?

I suppose it is.

All right, I'll show you the office.

Oh, Glenda!

I don't have time for this.

Hey, not now!

So, what do you think?

Well, the staff is certainly

passionate.

But I've got a few ideas I'd love to run by you.

Okay, let's hear them.

Okay, first of all, I've been going over the books,

and I have noticed a significant drop in sales over the past few years.

Well, yes, the industry has become pretty

saturated, especially with the rise of the smaller boutiques.

Right, right. So we need to compete with them.

Show them why Millington is so special, starting with our very own line.

Well, it's definitely something we've considered.

Great.

So let's find a designer.

Hold on.

We can't just hire any designer.

We have to find someone who stands out,

someone who makes a statement, all while capturing the Millington's brand.

So let's find that person. What are we waiting for?

We tried.

Finding a good designer is hard to come by.

Listen, Will, I really appreciate your initiatives, but you still have a lot

to learn about the intricacies of this business.

But Dad, I don't think you're seeing-

It's your first day.

Give yourself a little more time, and then we can talk,

big picture.

Anyway, I gotta go.

It's late.

Try to get some sleep, okay, son?

Yeah.

Alright. Night, Dad.

Good night.

Are you okay? Yeah.

What are you doing here?

I can ask you the same question?

What do you, sleep here?

No, I was just

finishing an alteration.

I certainly can't criticize your work ethic.

And you? What are you doing here?

I was going over some of the books.

I mean, you guys have heard of Digital bookkeeping, right?

Louise's system is flawless.

And for your information, everything was going just fine until you

showed up 12 hours ago and decided that everything needed to change.

I am just trying to help.

Maybe if you listened to some of my ideas-

Maybe if you listened

and stopped throwing around unsolicited advice, you would see that the women

that run these stores put their heart and soul into their work.

Every bride, bridesmaid, every person who comes in here

is given a personalized experience by women who actually care.

That is what makes shopping here so special.

Not where we keep our accessories shelf or how we do our bookkeeping.

You're right.

I'm sorry.

I realize that I can be a bit of a control freak.

But I really do care about this place.

And I am willing to learn

if you are willing to teach me.

You promise not to move the accessory shelf?

I won't touch the accessory shelf.

You're the boss, remember?

Okay, well, you better get out of here. I got a lot to catch you up on tomorrow.

No, you go. I'll lock up.

No, really, it's fine. I'll do it.

No, don't be silly. I made such a mess.

Seriously, you go.

You've been here late enough.

Hannah.

There you are.

I was getting worried.

I know, I'm sorry.

Oh, it's fine.

So long as you're okay.

Late twice in one week, isn't like you.

You're right, Louise. It won't happen again. I promise.

Becky?

Hey.

Hey.

Did you happen to notice a cream organza

and satin dress with lace applique and pearl buttons?

Oh, yeah. I just sold it.

It was just stunning.

I've never seen it before.

Must've been one of the new Pierre Dubois samples.

Oh, my gosh, a sample.

Yeah, I know.

And the dress didn't even have a name, which I thought was kind of strange,

but I thought she looked like a Camille, you know?

Yeah. Will you just excuse me?

I just have to run out the back.

Okay.

Just have a small panic attack.

Are you okay?

Hannah?

Hannah, this is a disaster. How could you been so careless?

What was I supposed to do?

Tell him that I was using Millington's equipment to work on my own-

Millington's equipment to do, what?

I was just...

Talking to yourself?

Yes.

Yeah.

You okay? You seem a little on edge.

No, no.

Since you asked,

I am not okay.

What's going on?

Well, I mean,

do you promise not to fire me?

Well, I thought I was just the intern.

Okay.

On top of working here at Millington's, I also have my own business.

You have your own business?

Shh.

Secret?

Shh.

A dressmaking business.

Okay.

Wedding dresses, more specifically.

I also do bridesmaids, flower girls, you know, so on and so forth.

I see.

But it's not a conflict of interest

because my concept is completely different.

I take people's vintage dresses and, well,

I upcycle them, give them a fresh new look.

It's all about sustainability, really.

And you're telling me this because?

Because that's why I was here last night.

I was working on my own design.

And I know I shouldn't have been using the

store's equipment for my own project, so I lied to you.

And now I am in a bit of a pickle because Becky just sold it.

Oh, boy.

And I really need it back because it's

a super sentimental dress and the wedding is this weekend.

And now I'm just, I'm trying to figure out what to do.

So you design your own dresses?

Yes.

Can I see them?

Trying to put out a small fire right now, but sure, I can show you at some point.

Cool.

Yeah, I can help you get your dress back.

Really?

Yeah. We just go in the system,

see who bought it,

go ask them for it back.

That makes sense.

Come on.

So, what got you into all this?

Oh, my grandma.

Yeah, she taught me to sew when I was little.

She was so resourceful.

She'd let me take her old dresses, turn them into something new.

I guess when I realized I was good at it, I never looked back.

Have you always done vintage?

Yeah.

So much work goes into making a dress.

It's not just the fabric, it's the construction, the detail.

It seems like such a waste to have these

gorgeous garments just sitting in the back of a closet collecting dust.

Not to mention, sustainability is a very hot trend, right now?

Yeah.

Alright, this is it. 3158.

Okay.

So, what do we say?

Let's just wing it.

Okay, wing it.

I'm nervous.

Don't be.

Hello.

Hi.

This might seem like a strange question, but-

I'm not interested. Thank you.

Ms. Paretti, we're not trying to sell you anything, I promise.

How do you know my name?

Oh, we're from Millington's Bridal.

Did you buy a dress from us earlier this morning?

Organza, satin, lace applique?

Yes.

It fits like a glove.

It's so unique.

It's so classic.

It is special, isn't it?

I'm afraid there's been a bit of a misunderstanding.

A misunderstanding?

Yeah. Yeah.

You see that dress?

It belongs to someone else.

It's not even Millington's design actually,

it was her own personal design, and it was never meant to be sold.

Then why was it on the rack?

That's a long story.

Basically, it was my mistake and that we need it back.

You want it back?

Mhm.

I'm sorry, no.

This is my dress.

No, actually, it's Mindy Caplan's dress.

It belonged to her mother, who wore it on her wedding day.

Her mom passed away a year ago and it's

her way of feeling close to her mom on her special day.

Seriously?

Mhmm.

We will do anything to get it back.

Name your price.

I've been searching everywhere for a dress this perfect.

I can't imagine getting married in anything else.

But obviously this woman needs her dress back,

I'm not a monster.

I'll give it back on one condition.

Anything.

You make me one just like it.

Well, it's an individual. It's one of a kind.

I can't make-

Hannah?

You got it.

Great.

I'll go get the dress.

Give me 1 second.

Here you go.

Thank you so much.

We'll be in touch, okay?

Thank you. Take care.

Phew.

I thought she wasn't going to give it to us there for a second.

Thank you.

Oh, and thank you for your help back there, too.

I don't know what I would've done if I lost it.

Yeah, well, trust me, I know exactly what it feels like to be

responsible for someone's prize possession.

You do?

Yeah.

I was a professional consultant for five years.

Companies all over the world trusted me to take their businesses,

implement my own ideas, and turn them into something special, something great.

It was just, a lot of pressure.

All over the world, though, that's exciting.

Yeah, it was nice to travel and see the world,

but living out of a suitcase gets pretty old after a while.

Recently, I realized I don't really have anywhere to call home,

and my life just lacks stability. I'm ready to lay down some roots.

Is that why you want to take over Millington's?

Yeah, it seemed like the next logical step.

That is, if my dad will trust me enough to let me take the reins.

Don't you worry. You're about to get a thorough education.

Is that right? Oh, yeah.

We got to build a dress from scratch.

Okay.

You think you can handle that?

I think so.

Woah, woah, woah, woah.

100% silk, made in Italy.

I'm guessing by the pattern, this is Circa 1975.

Something like this would usually go for over $100, but I'm getting it for $1.

What a steal! Can you believe it?

No.

I mean, it's fetching, but how is this helping us build that lady's dress.

Oh, no, it's not.

It's not really helping at all. But I,

get so distracted.

Oh, my gosh.

This is a 1920 satin-de-chine dress.

I can't believe it.

Is it valuable or something?

No, no, not particularly.

But I mean, look at the fabric, the weight, the beading.

Think of the possibilities.

I could cinch the waist, do a one sleeve kind of thing.

Ooh, maybe a purse.

Vanessa's dress. Right.

Get this for me.

In the basket? Yep.

Okay, I'll be right there.

I'm sorry.

Okay, this is it. This is my favorite spot.

It always has the best stuff.

Why don't you check through that box first?

Alright.

What exactly am I looking for?

Well, something in the White family, obviously.

But whatever speaks to you, really.

Any interesting details?

Buttons, trim, pull it out.

Okay.

You okay?

Yeah.

What's wrong?

I'm sorry.

I just always found the idea of used clothing to be kind of offputting.

I mean, why not just buy something new that doesn't

smell weird?

I'm sorry.

It's just, we don't know who's worn this or where it's been.

Exactly,

who's worn it?

Where has it been?

Every single piece of clothing here has lived a life, it tells a story.

Take this, for example.

It's 1985, prom night.

Cindy Lopper is playing on the radio,

and the guy you have been crushing on all of senior year notices you,

because you are wearing this dress.

Unlikely in that dress.

Okay, whatever.

Maybe you don't care about the history side of things, but shopping vintage is

better for the planet and better for the wallet.

If you ask me,

nothing beats a thrill of finding a bargain.

Alright, what about

this one?

You tell me.

Close your eyes.

Let it speak to you.

No.

Oh, come on, Will. Give it a go. It's fun.

Alright, um,

It was obviously a woman.

Maybe she was on a first date

and this is her lucky jacket.

She's nervous, but this jacket makes her feel confident.

She's a little shy.

Maybe it was a blind date.

Yeah, and she's hesitant at first,

but as the night goes on, she thinks,

I don't know, maybe I actually like this one.

Conversation, the wine flows.

She thinks,

this could be the start of something great.

Yeah, I'm just going to go find my friend.

Okay, so we have our source of fabric, our lace trim, our buttons.

I'm still a little confused why we had

to buy the full dress, if we're just going to use the buttons?

Will, that's the name of the sustainability game.

We'll take those buttons, put them on Vanessa's dress,

and use that fabric to make someone else's dream dress.

You following?

Okay, I get it.

There you go. Vintage is very cool.

Speaking of which, this looks a lot like the lake-

Oh, next to Harry and Kyle's inn.

It totally does.

Yeah, no I was, um,

I was actually going to say the lake that my mom and I used to go to every summer.

But, come to think of it, it does look a lot like that lake as well.

Maybe that's why I feel so at home there.

Well, that, and they are exceptional hosts.

Naturally.

Really is a special place, huh?

I think I'm going to get this for them.

Really? That's so nice.

Yeah.

Just a small token of my appreciation.

You can just drop those on the table. Thank you.

Yeah, no problem.

Wow.

She's a beauty.

Oh yeah.

Looks can be deceiving.

She is on her last legs.

Ah, hence the midnight visits to Millington's.

Exactly.

I'd get her fixed, but the parts are hard to come by.

When I can find them, they cost a small fortune.

Have you ever thought about, I don't know, replacing it?

No.

No, no.

She belonged to my grandmother.

This is actually the machine she taught me to sew on.

She ran a tailoring business from her apartment,

but her dream was to own her own boutique.

Unfortunately, having four kids on a seemstress budget

didn't exactly allow for that.

So I have vowed to honor her dream for her.

So you want to open your own shop,

put Millington's out of business?

Well, not exactly.

All my dresses would be custom made.

It wouldn't be about the volume.

I think you should do it.

You haven't even seen my designs, what if I'm not any good?

Maybe you should show me.

Sure. Yeah.

My sketches are there.

They're super rough, so don't judge me.

Alright, alright.

Wow.

I'm no expert on fashion, but I am inclined to say these are pretty good.

Thank you.

I am inclined to agree.

Oh, that's Mindy.

This is my friend, Will. He helped make the dress.

Oh, no, I didn't really-

Please, you were instrumental.

Hi, Will.

Hi, nice to meet you.

Okay, ready?

Yeah.

Here it is. Wow, Hannah.

It's perfect.

You don't know how much this means to me.

It'll be like she was there. Wow.

I, I can't thank you enough.

Oh, it is my pleasure.

Well, you have to come to my wedding.

Both of you.

Oh

Sure, we would love to come.

Yeah? That's fantastic.

I'll see you Sunday.

Okay.

There you go.

See you. Bye.

So, it's a date.

Oh.

Or not like a date, date, but

yeah,

a professional encounter.

Yeah. It's research.

Sure.

Yeah.

You know, I don't get it.

A spot this great, it should be packed on Friday night.

I mean, it did only open a year ago.

It takes a minute to build a reputation.

Yeah, but a place is beautiful,

if people knew about it, they'd be coming from far and wide.

Hello.

Hello, Gentlemen.

Here comes trouble.

Hello, hello you two.

How nice to see you both, together.

You will not believe it is a crazy story.

Oh, you mean the Millington's thing?

Yeah, Will filled us in,

we're pals now.

Coincidence, right? Sort of like fate.

Shh.

Now that we're all here,

I actually have a small token of my appreciation to present you two.

Ooh, a present?

Will, this is

No, really it's nothing.

I mean, I saw it at the antique mall, and I couldn't resist.

You two have been such gracious hosts.

It's a feeling I haven't had in a long time.

Feeling like I'm at home. It's the least I can do.

Will, this is very sweet.

I don't know what to say.

Will you excuse me for a moment?

I'm sorry.

Was it something I said?

No, don't worry about it. It's been a day.

What happened?

We had an inspector by earlier and let us

know that the foundation is unstable, and that's going to cost a fortune to fix.

Breaks my heart to say it, but I think this might be the final straw.

Well, there must be something you can do.

Well, we already used all the money for the pipes, so that's gone.

And I've been racking my brain trying to think of something, anything.

Owning this place has been a dream,

but if there's something I could do, anything.

Trust me, I'd do it.

There is something you can do.

A few things, actually.

First, we need to up your publicity.

I've got a Rolodex full of PR contacts I can reach out to.

We can get you into magazines,

put you on some top ten lists, get you into some travel blogs.

Next, we need to think of ways to get the locals out.

You know, host events, make this a hub for community and culture.

Yeah, we could host themed events. Baby showers, weddings.

Exactly.

A bridal show.

Millington's does one every season.

We'll host it here, invite vendors from all over town, charge admission.

Not only will it showcase the inn as the perfect wedding venue,

ticket sales should help raise enough to fix your foundation.

That's brilliant.

What do you say?

This is great. I mean, it's fantastic, but,

the reality of it is,

outside of Harry and myself, we only have a handful of employees.

I mean, I just don't think we even have

the manpower to pull something like this off.

What are you talking about? We'll help.

No, Hannah, no. Please.

I mean, you have so much on your plate, I couldn't

Please.

Besides, it's literally what Will does.

What's your job again?

Business consultant.

There you go.

Yeah.

Plus, I will be here every step of the way, okay?

This place is way too special to give up on.

Sorry.

Smoke in my eyes.

So, what did I miss?

Dad, it's Will.

I think I may have found a designer.

Will, how many times have we been over this?

No, seriously, dad, hear me out, okay?

She's been with Millington's for five years.

She knows the brand better than anyone, but she has this really unique style.

I think she'd be perfect.

At least take a look at her stuff, alright?

Fine. Send some sketches over. I'll have a look.

Alright.

I really think I'm onto something here.

Yeah.

Well, goodnight, William.

Right, goodnight Dad.

So, how's the internship going?

Well, to be honest, it's been a bit of a learning curve.

But Hannah's a great teacher.

She certainly has a knack for this.

And not to toot my own horn, but she reminds me of me when I was young.

When you were young?

Louise, you don't look at day over 30.

Stop.

The second I met her, I knew she was special.

She has this way of seeing the big picture.

Knowing what a bride needs even before they know it.

She makes people feel comfortable,

confident.

Well, it sounds like she had a good mentor.

Seriously, Louise, you've done an amazing job with this place.

Well, a leader is only as good as her team.

Bye, girl.

Bye, Becky. Goodnight.

See you.

You're sure you're okay to lock up?

Yeah, no we got it covered. You guys go on ahead?

Okay.

You ready to make a dress?

Oh, I was born ready.

This is a pattern.

I made it based on Mindy's dress.

Think of it as, like a blueprint.

Okay.

Alright, I'll get the fabric.

Alright.

So, that's a dress.

Wow.

Pretty satisfying, huh?

Yeah.

You know, it's almost worth the irreputable nerve damage to my fingertips.

You get used to it.

Hey, um,

Hannah, I've been meaning to talk to you about something.

Yeah.

Well, I've been giving it a lot of thought.

Well, you a lot of thought specifically.

You have?

Yeah.

Millington's is looking for a new in house designer,

and I want it to be you.

Oh.

I told my dad I'd send him some of your sketches.

Is that something you'd be interested in?

No.

No?

I'm sorry.

I'm flattered, but it's not really what I do.

Yeah, you could, though. I mean, you have the talent.

Thanks, but it's not what I want to do.

I don't understand.

Don't you want your designs to be seen,

to be featured in magazines, to be worn by brides all over the world?

I mean, you could be a household name.

But it wouldn't be my name.

It would be Millington's.

I don't want to give up creative control to someone else.

No, no, no, you wouldn't have to, okay?

You would have free reign.

Will,

I have worked in this industry long enough to know that that is not true.

I care about upcycling, bespoke sustainable fashion.

I want to own my own boutique, but I can't do that if I'm exclusive to Millington's.

I just figured that-

and I am so grateful you thought of me.

It's just not my path.

Do you understand?

Yeah,

Yeah, of course.

I mean, I don't, I don't, but,

I respect your decision.

If you reconsider.

I won't.

Thank you.

Are you crying?

No. No.

Wow, I did not peg you for such a romantic.

What?

What makes you say that?

Because you're crying.

Okay. Me, neither.

Honestly, I've always avoided weddings.

Growing up in Millington,

they always felt like more of an industry event than an actual celebration.

I never really,

got them.

That's fair.

Wedding's are expression of a couple's unique love.

See, they tell a story.

For Mindy, her dress made her feel close to her mom today.

Ah, the right dress can make you feel like the most authentic version of yourself.

Like you are exactly where you're supposed to be.

Oh no, what did I say?

No, nothing. It's not you.

You are incredible.

The way you talk about all this.

You're so passionate about what you do.

It makes me doubt that I'm doing the right thing.

Taking over.

Maybe the person that takes over

my family's legacy should

actually like weddings.

Well you liked this wedding.

You know what I mean.

I should know more.

You've seen me. I'm out of my depth.

Hey, you're just new to all this.

But you're here now, and that's what counts.

Will, you clearly want to make your family proud.

And if you keep up the work,

I have no doubt that you will make an excellent successor.

And when you do take over,

you know who to call if you ever need a little inspiration.

Yeah, right.

You'll be too busy running your own boutique.

Ah, yes, that might be true.

Oh, wow.

Oh, Will you have some good moves out there.

Not bad, right?

Care to join me?

I mean, me? Okay.

You're a pretty good dancer, actually.

Yeah, just continuing my wedding education.

I heard the dance floor was a big part of the experience.

It is. I'm glad you heard that. Yes.

You know, um,

I was thinking, uh,

you should have a booth at the bridal show.

What do you mean?

You should have booth.

You know, to kickstart your business.

Millington's is sponsoring that event. That's not appropriate.

Nonsense. I mean, there's room for everybody, okay?

Besides, you were way too talented to have your work not seen.

Will, I don't even have a working sewing machine.

Well use Millington's equipment.

And I'll help you.

I'm a pro now, remember?

Will, I don't want-

Hannah, you have to.

You have to do it for yourself and for your grandmother.

Thank you, Will.

Okay. Thanks for sticking around, ladies.

As you know, Millington's participates

in several bridal shows

all across the country,

every season.

But this year,

we thought it might be a great idea

if we hosted our very own,

right here in town.

Really?

Yeah, it's an opportunity to bring the community

and local vendors together and show a new side to Millington's.

A new side?

Yeah, you all are doing an incredible job here,

but if a business isn't growing, it's not evolving.

So what can we do to keep Millington's moving in the right direction?

Well, I do have a few thoughts about that.

Great.

Great. Louise, the floor is yours.

Well, I've noticed for years that we've lost

sales because we don't carry enough sample sizes.

Brides leave feeling uncomfortable

and disappointed when we don't offer dresses that suit their bodies.

I mean, they come to Millington's looking

for dresses that make them feel beautiful and confident.

And we fail them.

Yeah, we do.

I think we should bring in brands

that offer designs that are more inclusive and with larger sample sizes.

I mean, this is a fantastic point.

How long have you been noticing this trend?

Well, it's not a trend.

Bridal fashion is quite limited sizewise.

But by being more inclusive, we open our doors to brides who feel unseen.

I've mentioned it to corporate before, but-

You know what, Louise?

If you put together a recommended list of designers,

I'll put the buyers to work.

Oh!

And we'll make sure our Bridal show has an emphasis on body inclusivity.

And Louise, you can curate the booth.

And, Becky, you can put together an Instagram campaign that reflects our new vision.

Okay, that sounds great.

What are you going to do, Hannah?

Well, Hannah is going to be helping me with logistics, and-

I'll be putting together my own line,

which will be debuting at the Bridal show.

What?

Yeah.

Get out! Really?

Hannah!

Congratulations!

Oh, Hannah. That's incredible. Thank you.

I can't wait to see it.

Wow.

Well, let's all get a good night's sleep, and tomorrow we'll get the ball rolling, yeah?

Yeah. Thanks, Will.

Really appreciate it.

You know, I was thinking, we have a lot to go over for the Bridal show,

maybe we should get dinner?

At the inn, to plan.

Yeah, we can scope out the venue and discuss logistics.

Great. I'll grab the car.

I'll lock up.

Great.

Whoa.

Look at this. What is going on?

I've literally never seen this busy before.

This is amazing.

Kyle!

I know, right?

Congratulations.

Hello.

We're unusually busy tonight, and I'm so sorry, but

I will be right with you.

Harry, hi. It's us.

Oh, hi. Oh, thank goodness.

I hate to do this to you, but as you can see,

we are totally slammed.

So, you served in college, right?

Okay, sure. Yeah, I'll help.

Thank you. Thank you.

I guess my buddy at 'Must Eat Magazine' really pulled through, huh?

Oh, I'll say. We've been like this since lunch.

Well, I'm not just going to sit here and let you two have all the fun.

Harry, apron me.

I love you.

I love him.

I love you.

Thank you. Thank you.

Thank you. Good luck.

Have fun.

Hey, what's your poison?

Ladies, how was everything? Good?

Careful.

Yeah. Sorry.

Take these, thank you.

I don't know how to thank you two.

Seriously, I don't think we would have been able to do it without you two.

It was actually a lot of fun.

I can't remember the last time I felt so in the zone.

It was like the whole night flew by in 15 minutes.

Yeah, you were really in your element.

Hospitality looks good on you.

Well, in that case, who's up for a night cap?

Boom, boom, boom, boom.

Four gimlets coming right up, and then we have a Bridal fair to plan.

What?

Why are you looking at me like that?

As long as we keep Harry here away from the glassware.

Okay. Give me a break, it was one tray.

Oh, what you lack in grace, you more than make up for in charm.

Thank you.

Okay, so it's settled.

We'll hold the event here. Harry will man the door.

20 bucks a head, 6 vendors,

including the Millington's, and our very own Hannah McKenzie.

Great. So all we have left are the promo shots.

What for?

You have to have something to put on the poster.

Picture it.

It's a beautiful day at the lake.

It's sunny.

There's a bride, there's a groom, and a loving embrace right after their wedding.

I mean, we have to show people what it'll look like to actually get married here.

That's a great idea.

Who's going to take them?

Well, not to brag, but

I took a class at a community college, and the professor said that I had an eye.

No, he did.

He's good.

Okay, if you say so.

Just let us know what we can do to help.

Alright, well, since you mentioned,

we will need models.

Oh.

Oh, no.

Come on.

What a night.

Look at you fitting right in.

I got to say, I feel really comfortable here.

Never felt a sense of community like this.

I could see myself settling down in a place like this.

Really?

Yeah.

Well, I can't imagine it would be easy to run

a global bridal conglomerate from a sleepy suburb.

Okay, yeah, you got a good point there.

So what does your dad think of the whole bridal show idea.

I actually haven't told him yet.

Why?

I don't know.

He's always questioning my ideas without hearing them out.

I just want to prove to him that I can

take initiative, and that some of my ideas are actually good.

For what it's worth, I think he's going to be really impressed.

Yeah, hope so.

Hey, look, before you go, I wanted to ask you something.

Yeah?

I want to put together a little catalog for your shop.

We're doing the same thing for Millington's.

Is there any chance I can get a hand on some of your sketches?

Of course. I have them here.

They're rough, but it'll give people a good idea of what I do.

Will those work?

Oh, yeah.

These are perfect.

Don't go stealing my designs.

Scout's honor.

So, I guess we'll see you tomorrow for a big modeling debut.

Oh, don't remind me.

Please. 10 bucks says you're a natural.

Hannah.

What are you doing with your arm?

Well, I don't know. What should I be doing with my arm?

I don't know. Just not that.

Just stand naturally.

Just relax.

No, you're still doing the arm thing. Okay. Alright.

What are you doing?

I don't know.

This isn't working.

Okay, it's not working.

You two don't look like you're basking in the afterglow of marital bliss.

You look...

You look like two people that barely even know each other.

Okay, try to get closer together.

No, let's do it this way.

Oh, we're moving. Okay.

This way.

So turn here. And you,

great, okay, great.

Okay and just stare at eachother like you're in love.

No.

No, what is this, the prom? No!

Okay, I have to do everything myself. No problem.

I can help you.

Just hands.

Hold hands and then bring those in there.

Relax your shoulders.

Okay, that's great. Don't move.

Now uh,

stare at each other like

there's no one else in the world that you'd rather go through life with.

Like you just found your other half.

Your um,

your perfect match.

Yes.

Yes, yes!

I'm a genius!

Okay, moving on. Get in the boat.

Excuse me?

The boat?

You heard me, yep. Scoot!

Yeah, go on, get in the boat.

Why?

Hannah. Hannah, Hannah

Hannah. Hannah.

I have a vision.

I have a vision for this photo shoot.

I have a vision for this inn, and I have a vision for my life.

And that includes making sure my husband's

financial sacrifice to buy me this inn and make all my dreams come true, pays off.

Therefore, we have to utilize our assets and showcase them in a way that customers

are going to be drawn in by.

Now, we have this lake

and we have this boat.

And if you don't get in this boat and on this lake

and stare at Mr. Will here, like you're madly in love with him,

I'm going to assume that you don't care about my dreams or my happiness.

Is that what you're trying to tell me, Hannah?

Is that what you're trying to say to me now on the shores of this lake?

Okay, okay. I'll get in the boat.

We're getting in? Thank you.

Okay, so, just a few shots and then we're done.

Okay. Okay.

So, Harry's a pretty passionate guy, huh?

Oh, you picked up on that.

Yeah, a little bit.

Hannah, relax your face.

You look great, sweetie.

Well looks like you owe me that 10 bucks.

10 bucks?

Yeah. You bet me yesterday, I'd be a natural

and clearly anything but.

Well, I don't know, you look pretty good to me.

Thank you.

That's it. That's the money shot.

We got it.

Alright, we can all go home.

Yeah, you two, you can come back now.

Uh, Harry, we don't have any ores.

Oh, Ores.

I forgot you were going to need ores.

Harry!

Hey, it's okay.

Nobody panic. I'm just going to go and find them from somewhere.

Stay where you are.

We don't really have a choice.

I'll be right back.

I guess there are worst places to be stranded.

Sunset's pretty.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, I forgot with the sunset comes the mosquitoes.

Yuck.

Oh, yeah, that kind of sucks.

Doesn't it? No. Will!

I couldn't help it.

Hopefully Harry will be back soon with the oars.

Yeah,

when he gets back, how do you think he's going to get the oars to us?

Right.

That's a good point.

Yeah.

We could always swim.

Excuse me, this is vintage.

I'm sorry.

Okay. Maybe we can just paddle.

What do you mean paddle?

With our arms?

Yes, with our arms.

Just, like this.

You got it.

Well, we're going against each other.

You got to just turn around.

Turn around?

I think we got to...

Just be careful.

Oh! Hannah, Hannah!

Will!

Are you okay?

Harry, we needed ores!

We needed ores, Harry!

It looks like you hit the target with this one, cupid.

You know, I think this might be some of my finest work.

It's cold!

It's not warm.

Hey, be honest with me.

Do you think the bridal show is going to be enough to save us?

Yeah, of course.

It has to.

Because, you know, it's not too late to cut our losses now.

We could sell.

We could start something new, something maybe more practical.

Hey, what are you talking about?

It's just, you put everything into this.

All your time. All your money

so I could have my dream.

I just feel bad.

I want it to be worth it.

Harry, your happiness is always worth it.

It's a nice sunset, though.

Hey, Dad.

Will, I got your text.

Yeah, I'm working on something I'm really excited about,

but I don't want to say too much yet.

Alright, talk Monday.

Bye.

Louise?

How's my favorite store manager?

Mr. Millington, what a pleasant surprise.

I didn't know we were expecting you.

Well, you weren't.

I just wanted to pop in, see how my son's doing.

I hear he's cooking up something exciting.

That he is.

I'll let him do the honors.

He should be here shortly.

Why don't you have a seat in the office?

Don't mind if I do.

Okay.

Alright, got my end. Yep. Lift it up.

Oh, yeah.

That's going to be nice, huh?

That'll work.

Uh, one second. Yeah.

Hey, Louise. What's up?

Did you know that your dad was coming to town?

Uh, no.

Well, he's here.

Wait, sorry? At the store?

Yep, he's waiting for you in the office.

Okay.

We're just wrapping some things up here.

I'll be right over.

Thanks.

Alright, well I think we've done good work here.

Yeah, looks great.

Hi, Alison.

Yeah, listen,

Will has found the new Millington's inhouse designer.

Yeah, and I want to get a full page add out stat.

Well, her name is

Hannah McKenzie.

And I want to get this moving in time for wedding season.

Well, I'll get some patterns for you as soon as possible.

Okay. Yeah.

Alright. Bye.

Hi. Can I help you?

No, no, I...

I'm Len.

Len Millington.

Oh, my goodness, hi.

I'm Hannah McKenzie.

You're Hannah McKenzie?

Yes.

Our new in house designer?

Sorry, what?

Well, these are your sketches, right?

Your designs?

We have been looking for an inhouse

designer for years, and when my son said he found her,

I was skeptical.

But after seeing your designs,

I'm sold you're an extraordinary talent, my dear,

and I see a great future for you here at Millington's.

Will brought you this?

Well, he said he had a big surprise and boy did he deliver.

Now, I've contacted my assistant,

and she's working on a press release as we speak.

I want your collection in stores by the end of the season.

Will you excuse me?

Hey, come on in.

Hannah. Hey.

You show your dad my designs when I specifically told you not to.

Okay, I have no idea what you're talking about.

Don't lie to me.

You never actually cared about helping me further my business.

All you cared about was using me to further your own.

I would never do that.

Then why is there a press release going out with my name on it?

Why does your dad have my designs?

My dad must have found your sketches in the office.

I told him about you before you said you didn't want design for us.

But, Hannah, if he likes your designs, I mean, this could be huge for you.

Maybe you should reconsider?

I told you, I can do this on my own.

It's what my grandmother wanted.

I know, I know, okay?

But maybe it's time to start thinking bigger.

Wouldn't your grandmother want you to shoot for the stars?

You know what, Will?

I'm not sure where you think you get

off telling me that my dreams aren't big enough.

Hang on. That's not what I was saying.

I'm done.

I quit. Millington's and the bridal show.

Hannah, you can't do that.

Yes, I can.

You're going to pass my designs off as Millington's anyway, what's the point?

Hannah, come on.

Hey.

Hey, Dad.

Will, Will.

What can I say?

This is incredible.

On top of finding the perfect in house

designer, you planned an entire bridal show?

I owe you an apology.

I underestimated you, and I will never make that mistake again.

Well, thanks, dad, but

I think there's been a bit of a misunderstanding.

Oh.

Yeah.

Why don't we talk?

I can't believe him.

I can't believe he would do something like this.

He seemed like such a nice guy.

Yeah, I thought so, too.

I mean, he can't just use your designs, right?

I mean, they're your designs.

What am I going to do?

Sue Millington's?

It's not even the point.

I never should've trusted him in the first place?

Sure you don't want to come over for a sleepover?

I'm fine, thank you.

Okay, well, let me know if you run out of ice cream.

Bye.

Um,

could you take that with you on your way out?

What do you want me to do with her?

I want you to throw it away.

Glenda? No.

No, you can't throw Glenda away.

Please.

It doesn't even work anymore.

Okay.

Okay.

Thank you.

So let me get this straight,

there is no designer?

Right.

Just a bridal show?

Right.

I feel like such a fool.

Well, no, I mean, I can share some of the blame.

I got way too ahead of myself.

I never should have talked to you without clearing it with her first.

Well, obviously I'll redact the press release.

I would appreciate that, thank you.

But, um,

something tells me that winning back her

trust is going to be a bit of an uphill battle.

I don't even know what to do.

I mean,

she trusted me,

and I just let her down.

Well, if there's one thing I know about my son,

it's that there is no problem he can't solve.

And I'm sure you'll find a way to make it up to her.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I got a few phone calls to make.

Okay.

You?

Harry, I can explain. No, no, no.

I don't want to hear any more of your lies.

She had dreams, she had aspirations,

and you crushed them. You crushed her.

Don't. You need to hold me back, Kyle.

Hold up, tiger.

I'm sure Will has a perfectly good explanation.

No, he doesn't.

You do have a perfectly good explanation, right?

Of course, I do. Okay, it was all misunderstanding.

My father found her designs and he made assumptions.

But look, I will do anything to make it up to her,

but I need your help.

Hello?

Hi.

Emergency. It's an emergency.

Harry? Is it Kyle?

What happened?

Kyle? No, Kyle is fine.

It's a floral, it's a floral emergency.

What do you mean, a floral emergency?

Okay, no, it's not a floral emergency. It's an everything.

It's an everything emergency. It is Kyle.

He's freaking out.

Harry, you know I can't come there.

No, he's not even here.

He didn't show, the scoundrel.

Please, I need your help desperately.

Please.

Harry, I can't.

You said you would help every step of the way.

I'm begging you, please.

Please, please, please.

Fine, I'll get changed. I'll be right there.

Thank you. Thank you.

Thank you.

Hi. Hi.

How can I help?

Hi. Hi. Great.

So good that you're here.

Everything is going terrible, and the event is a total disaster.

What are you talking about? It looks incredible.

Well, it looks incredible until you

actually get inside, and then it looks really well, not so incredible.

Sort of a mess. Poster turned out fine, though.

This is not what I should have done.

I should have never done an event where I asked you zero questions about brides

and things you're experts at, which I know nothing about.

Harry, how did you?

I didn't.

I don't know what to say.

You don't have to say anything.

I'm so sorry.

I never should have gone to my father without talking to you first.

I just...

I got so excited about the possibilities of where we could take your brand together.

But that wasn't my decision to make.

Your work,

speaks for itself.

You shouldn't have to compromise.

You didn't have to do all this.

It was the least I could do,

to show you that I am behind your dream,

100%.

I called off the press release.

You don't need Millington's and you don't need me.

Well, I don't know if that is true.

Oh, yeah?

Oh, my gosh.

Are you the designer?

Yes, I am.

I've got my mother in law's truly insane wedding dress.

It's from the 80s.

Need I say any more?

It'd mean the world to her if I wore it, but-

Of course I can help. You got a picture?

Yeah.

Come on in.

So the dress is gorgeous, the skirts beautiful, but the top...

So if you're considering a simple sheath silhouette, you might think about adding,

an elaborate veil or maybe a cape for an unexpected twist.

Great idea.

Yeah, but we'll talk soon.

Sounds good. Thank you.

See you.

Ahem.

What? I'm learning.

Yes. Well done.

William.

Dad.

Hey, listen,

I have to say, I am thoroughly impressed.

I mean, the inclusivity angle

that was brilliant.

You've done great work here, son.

Oh, thanks, Dad, but I actually can't take any of the credit.

Oh, nonsense. You can take the credit.

No, seriously. It's

It's the women of Millington's.

Especially Louise.

Louise? Really?

Yeah.

In fact, there's something I've been meaning to talk to you about.

Okay.

I think Louise might be ready to step up in this company...

I just want to thank all of you

for the hard work and dedication in making this event so special.

It was a big success,

and I'm happy to say that we raised enough money to fix the foundation.

And to Hannah, who acquired at least ten new commissions.

Twelve, actually.

And throw a little cherry on top,

Harry and I are thrilled to announce,

we have a new partner joining the Lakeside Inn family.

It's my best friend- It's Will!

Will is the new partner. It's Will.

Yes, Will Millington. Welcome aboard.

Yeah, I've just been looking for a place to call home,

and I think I finally found it.

Oh, and not to mention, the man is a master at the art

of hospitality, so he's going to fit in just fine.

Wait, so Will, if you're not taking over in Millington's, then who is?

Well, that would be...

Louise.

What? Me?

Well, if you'll accept the position, of course.

I don't know what to say.

I'd be honored,

but where's this coming from?

Well, Louise,

since I'm retiring, it has been brought to my attention

that there's something I should have noticed years ago.

Over the past ten years, you have proven yourself to be

instrumental in the Millington's team.

And that hard work has not gone unnoticed.

Not only have you managed our most profitable branch,

but the ideas that you brought to the table

have shown a level of innovation that is sure to take Millington's

to new heights.

Momma Lou, moving up in the world.

Awe, no one is more deserving than you, Louise.

So, what do you say?

Well, I'm sure going to miss my girls,

but I accept.

Hey.

Hi.

What are you thinking about?

That I can't believe you fixed my sewing machine.

Don't you mean, Glenda?

Okay, so I named my sewing machine. What's the big deal?

No, I think it's cute.

Remind me to introduce you to Stephen, my espresso maker.

Seriously, Will.

I can't thank you enough for everything.

Don't thank me just yet.

I got one more surprise.

Want to race?

Okay, okay. You win.

Oh, oh. Cheater.

Is the blindfold really necessary?

Yes. Now, stop asking questions,

and let me surprise you.

I'm nervous.

Okay, right here.

You ready?

Yes.

It's an empty storefront.

Correction. It is your empty storefront.

You got me a store?

Yeah, well, I mean, technically,

Millington's did.

But before you say anything, it's not in Millington's name.

Just think about them as a silent investor.

You see, my dad, who was so inspired

by your ingenuity

that he just wanted to support you in any way possible.

On your own terms, of course.

Will, I can't accept this.

I can't accept you not pursuing your dream, okay?

I mean, you've done so much for Millington's over the years,

this is just our way of doing something for you.

Just promise not to put us out of business?

Well, no guarantees.

Oh. No store for you.

- Okay, you win! - I just realized something.

What's that?

Now that you're a partner at the inn, and I have my store,

you are not my future boss anymore.

Or your intern.
