Hello.
Happy birthday to my favorite niece.
Your only niece.
- Still my favorite. - Happy birthday Lily!
Can't believe I'm spending another birthday
without you two.
They're working you too hard.
All part of being an assistant at a top design firm.
I have to pay my dues.
When's your big interview?
I'm heading there now.
I have to prove that I have what it takes
to be Hawthorne and Associates's newest interior designer.
Well good luck, and we're rooting for you.
Good luck!
All right I've got to run, I love you both.
- Bye, love you. - Bye.
With custom stainless steel finishes
and the open concept floor plan,
this design narrative highlights the spectacular city views.
Very impressive, Lily.
Thank you.
Technically speaking, your design abilities are strong.
But I need to see more.
I have some more in my blog.
Not more designs, more you.
More me?
Your renderings and designs are well assembled,
but they're missing your essence,
your thumbprint.
My thumbprint?
The success of Hawthorne Designs
lies in the uniqueness of our team of designers.
Tell me, what is Lily's passion?
Well, my passion, truthfully, is to create a space
for my clients to feel at home in.
Lily, you are the best assistant
that this firm has ever seen.
Your portfolio is strong, clearly you're talented.
This isn't a "no," it's a "not yet."
Show us what inspires you,
and in a few more weeks let's just circle back.
Okay, thank you.
Hey Ms. Bartlett.
Hello, Marcus!
Lovely to see your handsome face.
How's the adoption center doing?
Oh, it's going.
Just trying to get the word out to more folks
about adopting rescue pups.
Speaking of which, I might have the perfect someone
who would love to meet you.
Well, aren't you a sweetheart?
Playing match maker for an old lady like me.
Please, you don't look a day over 25, Ms. Bartlett.
Marcus, you charmer.
Hi, just looking for Bradford please.
Lily, hi. I am so sorry.
We are inches away from closing this deal
on our newest condo development.
- It's okay. - It's not!
It's your birthday and I promised you
a special birthday lunch.
I've got to cancel and jump back into this meeting.
Oh...
Well, no, I understand work is important.
It's okay.
That's what I love about you.
We think the same.
Now, I have cleared my evening
and I made us a reso at Ciero's newest hot spot.
So I'll text you the address and I'll see you there at 8?
- Sharp! - I promise.
Okay.
Bradford, we need those papers.
I'll be right there.
You should probably run.
I'll see you tonight.
- Sounds good. - Okay.
[gentle music]
[dogs barking]
Morning.
Hey, how are you?
Wow, thanks Marcus.
Our newest pup just came in and she loves apples.
So this is our new rescue, huh?
Hello there, no name?
Neighbor brought her in.
Just found her in his yard, no collar, no I.D. chip.
How was her check-up?
Vet gave her a clean bill of health.
That's great news.
We'll find this beautiful pup a home in no time, won't we?
About that...
Just got two more calls.
Two more?
So far this month, we've got more dogs than homes.
Well, Lantern Festival always brings out
a lot of new faces, doesn't it?
We'll find some homes.
And so Dan says to the guy, he says,
"Well that's not a condominium, that's a condomaximum!"
Classic Dan, am I right?
Bradford...
Last text, I promise.
Okay.
[cell phone beeps]
- I'm all yours. - Okay.
I almost forgot, how did the interview go?
Am I looking at Hawthorne's newest interior designer?
Not quite...
I'm sorry, Lil.
No, it's not a no.
It's a "not yet."
Apparently, I need to find what inspires me
and highlight it in my work.
I'm just feeling tapped out.
Well I believe in you.
You know you will find inspiration again, soon.
Well, I hope so.
I thought I would have been promoted by now.
In the meantime...
♪ Happy birthday, dear Lily ♪
♪ Happy birthday to you ♪
Thank you.
A toast, to your birthday.
[cell phone rings]
Sorry, my turn.
It's my aunt.
Hello?
Hey, it's me.
Christie? Is everything okay?
Yeah, it's your aunt Maggie.
She's okay, but she had a fall.
She's at the hospital.
Okay, I'll be right there.
My aunt's had a fall.
- I have to go see her. - Yeah.
Can we have a redo of this?
Of course, I understand.
Just call me when you land.
Yeah.
Bye.
[light upbeat music]
Beautiful, isn't it?
I fall in love with the island this time of year.
Not a big fan of flying, huh?
No I'm a good flyer, I think it was your driving.
You mean my flying?
If that's what you want to call it...
Yeah, I call it flying.
Okay, it just, it made me a little...
Nervous?
Nauseous.
Well apologies, it was my first time.
Your first time?
That was a joke.
Yeah, I don't think pilots should joke about flying.
I didn't say it was a very good joke.
- Right. - I got it.
I got it.
Are you sure, because I could take it up for you.
It's a little tough to navigate for a...
For a...?
For a city girl in heels, but you know what?
You seem like you got it under control.
So, be my guest.
[upbeat music]
Hi!
Okay, I need to breath at some point.
How are you? You look amazing.
How did you get here so quick?
The airport was all booked, so I drove all night
and got the first charter plane out.
How is she?
She's fine. She's better.
She's going to be thrilled to see you.
She was always there for me, it's the least I could do.
I'm just glad she finally asked.
About that...
About what?
Aunt Maggie doesn't know that you're here.
What?
She didn't want you to go out of your way,
and she knows how much your job means to you, so...
Surprise!
- She's inside? - Yeah.
I'm glad you called.
I wish she would've told me herself.
- Aunt Maggie? - Lily!
No, stay.
I've missed you so much.
What a nice surprise!
Mind the mess, dear.
We had a little leak
and I haven't had a chance to clean it up.
That's what I'm here for.
I will do all the heavy lifting,
so that you can get all the rest that you need.
It's just a sprain, the doctor said
it should heal in a few weeks
if I stay off it as much as possible.
If she keeps off it, that's the key.
She keeps trying to do everything.
Aunt Maggie, you need to know
that when something like this happens, you can call me.
I understand, but you're busy.
I should have taken some time earlier to come visit.
I can't believe it's been two years
since I've been here.
But somehow, it feels like I never left.
Your parents, they were the sweetest people ever.
This is my favorite photo of them.
You were just a little girl...
And you know Lily,
even though they're no longer with us,
their spirit...
Will always be here at the end.
Exactly.
Look at the Inn in this photo!
That was the time that your father
gave it a fresh coat of paint.
You know, come to think of it,
that may have been the last time the Inn was painted.
[aunt Maggie sighs]
What?
You know sweetie, the Inn takes a lot of work.
Not just to run, but it needs renovations
and the maintenance alone...
Do you need to hire someone?
I can do that for you.
Business has slowed and I can't afford any extra help.
Then I can do it. What do you need?
I'm afraid it's time for me to sell the Inn.
What?
I have been running this Inn for over 30 years.
It's time for a change.
[upbeat music]
Okay, this is the inn.
- Hey, Christie. - Hi.
I just came by to drop off some more flyers
for Pilots for Pups.
Absolutely, anywhere up here would be great.
Okay.
How is the adoption center going?
Just getting so many pups right now.
Trying to get the word out.
See this little guy, we got him a home last week.
He's so sweet!
[Marcus] This girl is looking for a home.
[gasps] Oh hello, oh my goodness.
Hello Marcus, this your phone number?
It is.
You again.
You again...
That's... that's my dog, sort of.
You're Marcus and your sort of dog is Marcus?
Yes.
Well no, my name's Marcus and it's on her tag
because you see, she doesn't have a name yet.
Why doesn't she have a name?
Well, she's a rescue.
And when we find a rescue that doesn't have a name,
I put my name on the tag until we find them a new owner.
I... I rescue dogs.
I see.
That way when we find a new owner,
they have the honor of naming their forever friend.
Did you find her?
Here we all are.
So, you all know Marcus?
Yeah, he lives in the garden suite.
You live in the garden suite?
I live in the garden suite.
Have you two met?
Oh yeah, he...
I flew her.
He flew me.
Well, thanks for stopping by Marcus.
You're welcome, uh...
Lily.
Yeah, I am Lily.
Well thank you, Lily, for taking such good care of her.
If I can ever repay the favor, you let me know.
Not necessary.
I would be offended if you left without taking
one of my apple cinnamon muffins.
Ladies.
What?
[phone rings]
Hi, you've reached Bradford Mitchell
with Real Estate West.
I'm either busy with work, or busy with work.
Either way, leave me a message.
Better yet, e-mail me.
[beep]
Hey, it's me! I'm here and aunt Maggie is okay.
I know you're busy, so just give me a call when you can.
It's about the Inn. Okay, bye.
[Mr. Hartwell] Yeah, that was funny.
Mr. And Mrs. Hartwell, welcome back.
Thank you.
Happy anniversary.
20 years.
We've spent every one of those anniversaries here.
We just love Harbor Island and your aunt Maggie's Inn.
And we love having you here.
One thing, the faucet in our room
seems to have a little drip.
I will take a look at it.
Thank you.
- Enjoy your anniversary. - Thanks.
[light bulb fizzles]
[Lily] I still can't believe she's selling the Inn.
What about you? What are you going to do?
Well, I'm hoping that the new buyer
will let me stay.
As you know, business has been kind of slow this past year.
But I thought that maybe I could help
turn things around, you know?
Yeah.
But right now, I am just happy to be spending time
with my best friend in the world.
I wish I could stay longer.
Plus the Inn needs a little more love
than I seem to remember.
Not to mention you'll miss the Lantern Festival.
I love the Lantern Festival!
Yeah, work is really busy right now.
I don't think I can.
At least if you don't stay,
someone else can win best lantern.
[laughs]
Okay, I better get going
because I'm actually making mac and cheese tonight.
Do you want to join?
I think I'm going to wander a bit,
just suck up the town as much as I can.
Plus I have to stop in at the general store later.
Right, okay. I'll see you later.
Bye.
[gentle somber music]
- John... - Lily!
I haven't seen you in a dog's age.
Yup.
Is there anything I can help you with?
Yeah, I am looking for some light bulbs.
Well, right this way!
Such a lovely place.
Why thank you!
Listen, if there's anything that puts a sparkle in your eye,
you just let me know.
- Will do. - Yeah.
Hello again!
Hello there.
Hey.
You two know each other?
- Not really. - Yeah, we're old friends.
[John laughs]
So what brings you here?
Just trying to get the word out about Pilots for Pups.
Try taking out an ad online?
I'm not really big on the whole internet thing.
I'm more about...
Island time?
Yeah, you got me.
- That's it? - Yeah.
That's lovely.
You like that, huh?
You know everywhere you take this,
it will always show you which way is home.
That's beautiful.
Tell you what, it's yours.
No John, no I couldn't possibly...
No, no, it's on the house.
Do with it what you will.
Thank you.
Okay, I should get back to the Inn.
Check my...
E-mail?
Got me.
Don't work too hard, city girl.
And Marcus, if you need any help with the internet,
just let me know.
I'll keep you in mind.
Yeah, just the milk.
[door knocking]
Hello dear, how's work coming?
I don't know, I feel stuck.
I think I have a case of design block.
Well maybe spending some time away
from the hustle and bustle of the city
will help you get inspired again.
I found this box of photos
when I was tidying up for the open house
in a couple of weeks.
I thought you might like to look through them.
Yeah.
I remember that.
I spent hours painting that lantern.
Even as a little girl, you had a love for design.
The Inn looks amazing with those twinkly lights.
I wish there was something I could do to save it.
I know, dear.
I wish I could too.
I'm just so glad you're home, even if it's just a quick visit.
Maybe I could stay longer.
What about work?
I could e-mail them, check in,
see if I could get some more time.
Maybe you're right, maybe some time away
from the city is exactly what I need.
And then I could help you stage the Inn
and get it ready for the open house.
What do you say?
I'd be overjoyed.
Okay!
[hammer tapping]
Hey.
Hey! What's going on, city girl?
I'm from Harbor Island.
Right, but you're going back to the city, aren't you?
That's not the point.
No? What is the point?
My point...
My point is that is not red cedar.
What?
Well the fence, it's made out of red cedar
and that wood that you're using,
that's just pinewood.
So?
So it doesn't match.
Oh, yeah, well I don't think anyone will notice
that it doesn't match.
It's not just about what it looks like.
Red cedar is a superior wood.
It was traditionally used for building boats.
Is that so?
Yeah, I wouldn't lie about cedar.
Do you happen to have any cedar on you?
Red cedar!
And no, obviously not.
Shucks, well fence was broken, now it's fixed.
Well, it looks terrible.
Lucky for you, you won't have to
look at it much longer, I guess.
Actually, I'm staying.
Is that so?
Yeah, Aunt Maggie should get the most value
for the family property.
So I'm going to stick around until we find a new buyer
that will show the Inn the same kind of love
that our family has for years.
Well, if you need any help...
Yeah actually, what if we could help each other?
How would we do that?
Well, I know internet.
Right.
I could help you make a website for your adoption center.
Get the word out online about Pilots for Pups.
And then you could maybe help with some work around the Inn.
You really don't like to ask for help, do you?
I would just really like to return the favor.
Well, it sounds like a deal that I can't pass up.
So we got a deal?
We got a deal, city girl.
Thank you.
Please, please, please...
[device beeps]
[door slams]
Need a hand?
No, I'm good.
Well, that's a look.
Much improved from the big city business attire.
Yeah well, I wasn't expecting...
What are you doing here?
I came to deliver this to Aunt Maggie.
Figured nothing will get her
on the fast track to healing, like my famous shepherd's pie.
You cook?
Is that like some sort of hidden talent?
It's one of them, sure.
One of them? So you have multiple hidden talents?
At least four.
That's impressive.
I can... make shepherd's pie.
Yes, that is number one.
I can fly a plane, so that's two.
You consider that hidden?
I do.
Number three, I know the few spots around here
where there is cell reception.
And I'd be happy to show you,
but isn't it kind of nice not being glued to that thing?
No, I feel so out of touch with all the important stuff.
Important stuff?
Yeah, calling, texting, e-mailing.
Not to mention I have a blog to update.
Please tell me that you know what a blog is.
I know what a blog is!
At least you're not one of those people with a flip phone.
Really?
How do you check your e-mail?
I just prefer a more personal connection.
You know, face-to-face.
You can make a personal connection online.
You'd be surprised.
Oh, would I?
Alright well,
I should get back to work...
Change.
I'll leave you to it.
Three steps to your left.
[device beeps] [Lily exclaims with joy]
[phone rings]
[Lily] Hey!
Hey, I've been trying to get ahold of you.
Yeah, the wi-fi around here is a little unpredictable.
When are you heading back to the city?
I e-mailed work and they actually said
I could take all the time I needed.
I was thinking I was going to stay a little bit longer.
Like at least until the open house,
and that way I can help Aunt Maggie
get the Inn ready to sell.
Oh, well I'm sure your aunt will be happy to have you.
Yeah, would you want to come out and visit?
I don't know, work is pretty busy.
Yeah, I understand.
Although I do owe you a redo
for your birthday dinner, don't I?
Tell you what, I'll see what I can do
and maybe I can squeeze you in tonight.
Yeah, sure.
Got to get back in there.
Hopefully see you tonight.
Great, okay bye.
Hey Marcus, here to take out another ad?
Yes, I need to get the word out about Pilots for Pups.
We've got a few more dogs this year
than we expected and they need forever homes.
Okay, well the next cycle will be the late fall edition
which goes in circulation November 1st.
That will publish almost two months from now.
Two months?
Yeah, you could publish your ad online
get the word out quicker?
Yeah that should be easy enough, right?
It's very simple.
Just go to our website, create an online profile,
upload a photo, a little information about yourself,
and submit, we'll publish it within 48 hours.
I would need a smartphone for that, right?
Or a tablet.
Yeah, I don't own a smartphone.
- Or a tablet? - No.
You're like a dinosaur.
Technology just isn't really my thing.
Well, I can help you with that.
No, thank you.
I'll catch you later, Jasper.
Wait, wait!
Did you still want to place an ad for the fall edition?
Yes.
Yes, okay all right let's get started.
[birds chirping]
Hey.
Hello there.
What you doing?
Just... working.
Are you busy?
You could say that, yeah.
Right...
it's just I'm kind of in over my head
and I need, you know...
You need...?
I'm sorry, you're going to have to say it
a little louder, I can't hear you.
Help, yes.
- Help? - I need help.
Yeah! I'd be honored, city girl.
Okay. Bright and early tomorrow morning?
Yes, ma'am.
I'll bring coffee.
Can't wait.
Oh, pretty!
Thank you.
- Have fun. - All right, have a good night.
Hey Marcus.
Evening.
Hello.
You look nice.
Thank you.
I just came to drop this off for work tomorrow.
Where you headed?
A belated birthday dinner.
My boyfriend Bradford is in town.
So I'm going to take him to my favorite local spot.
Let me guess, Nick's Spaghetti House?
Best pasta in town.
I'm sure he'll love it.
Yeah just hold that cab for two seconds, thanks.
- Hey! - Hey.
You made it.
You look stunning.
Thank you.
Yeah, Bradford Mitchell, Real Estate West.
Marcus Brown, Pilots for Pups.
How's it going?
- Good. - Good.
Say hi.
Whoa, I'm allergic.
No offense.
None taken.
We'll just go drop these off.
Let you guys have a good evening.
- All right, you ready? - I'm starved, yeah.
- Ready to eat? - Yeah.
[gentle music]
So tell me, how have things been here?
Good, I'm trying to come up with new designs for work,
but drawing a blank.
But I am really excited about the Inn refresh.
It's for the open house.
I found this really incredible vintage wallpaper...
[phone vibrates and beeps]
Oh, it's Dan, I should...
[laughs]
Nice, and...
Sorry, where were we?
I was just telling you about...
[phone beeps]
It didn't send.
I'm going to see if there's better signal over here.
Thank you.
Two spaghetti with meatballs.
Enjoy.
Sorry about that.
We are so close to sealing this deal.
You were saying something about...
A wallpaper.
Yeah I found this really incredible wall...
[phone vibrates]
I've got to take this.
Go ahead, start without me.
And if our waiter comes back,
can you ask him for a shot of espresso?
Better yet, make that a...
[together] Double macchiato.
- Yeah. - No foam.
[phone vibrates]
[sighs]
[birds chirping]
You barely ate your dinner.
At least you'll have lots of leftovers for later.
Sure, I can enjoy it on the ferry tonight.
You're going back to the city tonight?
I wish I could stay, but I gotta get back to work.
You know how it is.
Can I at least show you the Inn?
I don't think I have time.
I mean, the last ferry leaves in less than an hour
and, I'm sorry, Lily, we're just too crazy right now.
It's not just now, Bradford.
You know that big deal I was telling you about?
We're signing first thing tomorrow morning.
This is really great news.
You seem disappointed.
Look, Bradford I...
I care a lot about you.
I'm sensing there's a, "but"...
I just feel like we're on different pages.
Yeah we've been drifting apart lately, haven't we?
We've known each other for a long time.
And we've changed.
I just...
I feel like I'm not being true to myself anymore.
I understand.
You do?
Yeah, as much as I don't want to let you go...
I care about you.
I want you to be happy.
I want you to be happy, too.
I'm going to grab a taxi.
See you in the city?
Yeah, I'll see you.
Bye.
So...
It's terrible, isn't it?
No, it's just earthy.
I was talking about the wall.
Right, no the wall is not as bad as it looks.
We should be able to fix it, no problem.
You don't like the coffee?
No, it's delicious.
[sips coffee]
Yeah, I haven't figured out Christie's coffee maker yet.
I wasn't expecting to have to repair a wall.
Well, lucky for you the wall is repairable,
the coffee on the other hand...
Is that so?
Sorry, follow my lead on the wall.
Follow my lead on the paint.
Right this way.
So, we mark where we want to cut.
- Like so. - Beautiful.
Okay, put these on, city girl.
Thank you, sir.
Safety first.
It's a good look for you.
Thank you.
Now, stand back.
[circular saw whirring]
Okay, that should do the trick.
Hole is patched, wall is primed,
we just need to take some measurements,
figure out how much paint we need,
pass me the...
- Nice catch. - Thank you.
So...
So?
How was dinner last night?
It was okay.
Oh?
The food was delicious, but we decided to break up.
You okay?
Yeah, it was time.
I'll be okay.
Okay.
He was a great guy, it's just...
It was always about work with him.
Yeah, I know.
You do?
Yeah, it's a long story but I understand.
Thanks for understanding.
Should we do the...
- Paint colors, yes. - Yeah.
Do you mind holding these up?
Yes ma'am.
Okay so we have Misty Blossom, or Soft Down.
Soft Down?
Yeah, it's like the inside of a comforter.
Why don't they just call it gray?
Because it's not gray, it's Soft Down.
Okay, Soft Down it is.
Okay perfect, hold still.
Are you sure they match?
Yeah, you just need to see it in the right light.
Yeah, that's perfect.
You can relax.
You sure do have an eye for this stuff.
Thanks.
- Good morning sunshine! - Good morning.
- Help yourself to the... - This coffee is delicious.
Same coffee as yesterday.
Really?
Yeah and the day before.
Nobody makes it like you.
That is a month old paper.
I'm using it to wrap the jars for the festival.
I don't mind, it's nice to catch up on
what's happened on the island while I've been gone.
Okay, just...
Can I help put the dishes away?
They are away, I'm maxed out on cupboard space
so they just live on the counter.
Is there something different about you?
I don't think so.
It's just that you seem lighter or something.
Well, it's nice to be doing what I love
in a place that I love.
Well, the dining room has never looked better.
- You're doing a great job. - Thank you.
It is weird though.
Four days on the island
and I feel miles away from my life in the city.
But this break has been perfect.
And after the open house,
I will get back to my real life
and I will finally land that interior design position.
Maybe everything you need is right in front of you already.
I appreciate that, I do.
But I'm perfectly happy in the city.
Okay.
And one last time, please teach me how to make the coffee.
[laughs]
- Okay. - Yay.
[dogs barking]
That should do it for now, pups are fed and walked.
Do you need anything else
before I head out on my lunch break?
No thank you Angus, I can take it from here.
Just don't know what we'd all do without you, Marcus.
Jeez, it's nothing really.
Marcus, I thought I'd find your handsome face here.
I'm so glad you came by,
I've got someone I would love for you to meet.
Angus, I would love to pitch you my lantern idea
for the festival this year.
Ms. Joyce, nice to see you as always.
Right this way Ms. B,
someone over here is dying to meet you.
I was just going to head next door to the cafe
to get sandwich. Anyone need anything?
You had me at sandwich, I'd love to join you.
Of course.
Enjoy lunch.
- Hey. - Hey.
How's everything going?
I might be a better matchmaker with people
than with dogs, but...
Good thing I'm here then.
Time to build your website.
Oh boy.
No, it will be great.
I'll start by just asking some questions about each pup,
we'll take some photos, we'll post them online,
we'll connect them with all sorts of forever families.
Okay.
Hey, it's the best that could happen.
So Lily, this is Chance.
He's three years old and he is a real charmer.
He's beautiful.
Chance has mastered the art of sleeping upside down
on the sofa, which is by far his favorite position.
He also enjoys a nice romp in the yard here
with his doggie buddies.
Oh my goodness, who is this?
Lily, I'd like you to meet Wish.
But you two seem pretty well acquainted already.
Hello Wish!
Wish came to us in a bed made out of a box
with these pillows in it, and on the side it said,
"Wish orchard."
So, naturally we called her Wish.
When I was little, we had a golden retriever growing up.
I used to love that the hair on the back of her ears
was so soft, just reminded me of home.
That should just about do it.
Now the worldwide web gets to do it's thing.
There are lots of families out there
who are looking for beautiful dogs
just like these guys.
A website is just another way to get the word out.
All right, okay.
What have we got to lose?
You got me.
Great, and...

Easy there, can I take that for you?
Thank you.
I may or may not have been up all last night
and most of today working on it.
No, no!
You were up all night
after all that work we did yesterday?
You must be exhausted.
It's funny, I feel more energized than ever.
Has it started yet?
I think we're right on time.
All right, good afternoon everyone!
And welcome to Harbor Island's annual Lantern Festival.
[crowd cheers and claps]
Thank you all for coming.
The Harbor Island Lantern Festival
celebrates a special tradition as old as the island itself.
And today, we honor that great tradition
by hanging lanterns in the town harbor
to welcome back our fishermen
coming home from their long journeys at sea.
The lights from the lanterns symbolize
the spirit of our community.
All right well, may the best lanterns win.
[crowd claps]
Good luck everybody.
Okay, can I finally have a look?
Okay.
That might be the nicest lantern I've ever seen.
Why thank you! Wait until you see it all lit up.
Ta-da!
Christie, that's awesome!
Thank you, it's my take on a chef's hat.
Although I think it looks more like a cloud.
Or maybe a muffin... now I'm hungry.
Is that yours?
Yeah.
That's breathtaking, Lily.
Thank you.
Now I'm even more hungry.
We have here...
Lily, you never disappoint.
Thank you, Angus.
[Ms. Bartlett] Hello, Angus!
Duty calls.
Hi everybody, can I get your attention over here please?
This is the last call to cast your votes for best lantern.
Now obviously there's a lot of lovely options here tonight,
so make sure you get your votes in.
And now that it's officially sundown,
you may release your lanterns into the water.
Have fun everybody.
♪ Funny how the days vanish into years ♪
♪ I never knew that space could keep us here ♪
♪ Funny how we fall, forever we belong ♪
♪ If you ever wonder where I've gone ♪
♪ I've been here all along ♪
♪ I'll give all of me ♪
♪ Every day I'll love all of you ♪
♪ In every way, all the ups and downs ♪
Ladies and gentlemen, this is the moment
you've all been waiting for.
Your votes have all been counted.
And the winner of this year's award
for best lantern goes to...
Lily Summers!
- Congratulations. - Thank you.
Wow, thank you all, what an honor.
You know I read somewhere, it was on a fridge magnet
or a bumper sticker, but it said,
"The enchanting thing about a small town
is that although it can feel good to leave,
it feels a thousand times better to come home."
Now, my lantern this year was inspired
by my aunt Maggie and her magical inn.
I was lucky enough to grow up on Harbor Island
and the beauty here is, it goes beyond what you see.
The beauty about Harbor Island, is that it's also a feeling.
And it's one that warms my heart.
So, thank you all again so much.
[crowd claps]
You know, a good award winning lantern speech
always just seems to brighten up my night.
[crowd laughs]
Yeah, you like that right?
Okay, thank you Lily.
And with that in mind,
thank you all for a very wonderful night.
Enjoy the rest of the festivities.
[crowd cheers and claps]
May I join you, or is this the winner's circle?
I was actually just going to go take a walk
if you'd like to join?
Yeah, I could use a stroll.
Okay, this must be the fourth hidden talent I'm guessing.
You got me.
Yes!
Such a lovely night.
Yeah, it is.
I might've found a home for Wish,
our golden retriever.
- That's amazing. - Yeah.
All right Mr. Island Time.
Why Pilots for Pups?
Pilots for Pups.
Well, a couple years ago I had a friend
who had a springer spaniel named Rusty who needed a home.
And I gave him a hand looking for someone.
We found this sweet, retired couple
on Queens Bay Island and I flew him over.
And, the moment that I dropped Rusty off...
I don't know, I just knew that nothing
I'd ever done had felt quite so satisfying.
So I decided to open the adoption center
and dedicate my time to finding homes for these pups.
I love finding homes for these dogs.
Even if I haven't quite found one for myself yet.
Oh, so that's why you're at the Inn.
Yeah.
Yeah, I'm kind of looking for the perfect property
on the island to call home.
For now, the Inn feels more like home
than anywhere I've lived.
That's it.
What's it?
I think I am inspired again,
and when inspiration hits, I have to follow.
Thank you, thank you.
Yeah, you're welcome.
Surprise!
Lily, what did you do to my kitchen?
Where are all my dishes?
I put them away.
Where?
Well, you said that you were maxed out of cupboard space,
so I put in some new shelves.
You can organize it however you want,
I've just arranged them like this for now.
Are you happy? Is that your happy face?
You have no idea how much this means to me.
Thank you.
No, of course.
Okay, all right, to work?
- Yes. - Hungry guests to feed.
So what have you got going on today?
Let me see.
Going to do some painting, re-arrange some furniture...
Oh, John's lending us some antique furniture
so Marcus and I are going to go pick it up later.
You seem more energetic than ever.
I don't know, the inn, the island, all of it.
It's just nice I'm finally feeling inspired again.
Do you remember our senior year of dance?
When you insisted everyone on the decoration committee
had to come dressed in my favorite shade of autumn?
And we came dressed as pumpkins.
Very chic.
So hard to win a dance competition in a pumpkin suit.
But we did, yeah?
Yeah, did we?
[upbeat dance music]
[music stops]
Marcus...
Lily, Christie.
Hey, Marcus.
How long have you been standing there?
Long enough.
So what brings you by this early?
Just came to pick up Lily.
Right, yes! We have some work to do.
I'm going to go grab my sweater, and my stuff.
Meet you in the lobby?
Sounds good.
[exhales]
Just the old high school dance routine,
you know how it is.
Yeah, definitely.
[bell rings]
[Lily] I love this place.
Lily!
- Hey, John. - Marcus.
Hey, I got a delivery
of a few classics I think you're going to love.
This looks amazing.
Anything you like, they're yours to use.
I don't even know what to say.
I mean, thank you.
Well have a look, take your time.
Okay.
Wow, it's quite the collection.
[laughs]
This would be amazing in the lobby.
What?
Nothing you just, you have quite the eye.
You want me to take it up to the truck?
Yeah, that'd be great. Thank you.
I got it.
- Don't need that. - Not that, right.
Was there anything else that you see?
There's too much, it's too hard to choose.
I promise we will repay the favor
as soon we're done with the open house.
Look, there's no rush.
These things aren't going anywhere.
You know,
this whole inn refresh has been really wonderful,
but it's also just bittersweet.
As much as I've enjoyed getting the Inn ready to sell,
I'm going to be heart broken when it's gone.
What matters is the memories that you had here.
You know, before you came along...
Marcus was a bit of a lone wolf.
And now that you're here, well...
Let's just say that it's been awhile
since I've seen that sparkle in his eye.
[laughs]
Anything else?
How about this number right here?
It's perfect!
[laughs]
[bell rings]
- Thank you. - You're welcome.
- Can you handle this one? - I think I got it.
Thank you.
All right everyone, three and a half days
until the open house.
Where there's an Inn there's a way.
Oh wow, that's a good one.
[upbeat inspirational music]
The property surveyor just left.
He said he should have a report for us in a couple of days.
Great, thank you for doing that.
Of course, dear.
Okay, where do you want this last box?
Just anywhere behind the desk is great.
I think that pretty much does it.
I think we're just about ready for the open house.
Thank you, I don't know how we would
have done all this without you.
I'm happy to help.
You have a, you just have some...
[gentle music]
[phone rings]
- I will get that. - Yup.
Hello.
Hey Lily, I think you and Marcus should come down
to the adoption center.
You might want to see this.
Okay, we will be right there.
[dogs barking]
You know how Lily started that new Pilots for Pups website?
Well, I think it worked.
[Lily] Oh my goodness!
- 23 new emails? - Oh, this is amazing.
Look.
I think we just found a home for your terrier.
And they have a farm on the other side of the island.
Plenty of room for her to run and play.
I got an idea.
Maybe this online stuff isn't so bad.
Uh-huh.
So, do you want to answer?
Of course yeah, I'll send them an application.
You're right, they look like the perfect family.
Thank you.
This calls for celebration.
I've had this in the back for a while now
waiting for just the right occasion.
[champagne bottle pops]
[laughs]
Literally dozens of e-mails, Christie,
from all across the country.
I'm so happy for you.
To be honest, I'm feeling a little conflicted.
Why conflicted?
It's just about going back to the city so soon.
Well maybe you should stay?
I can't... I have a whole life over there
and I have to be ready to go back with my thumbprint.
Your thumbprint?
Yeah, it's a design thing.
What about Marcus?
You guys seem like you have a lot in common.
Marcus and I are just friends.
And besides, after the open house
I'll just head back, and that will be that.
I wish there was a way I could do the thing that I love
in the place that I love, you know?
I do.
Evening ladies.
Hey Marcus.
So I spoke to that family with the farm.
And I'm going to take the terrier there tomorrow.
- Amazing. - Yeah.
I was wondering if maybe you wanted to come with?
Yeah, I'd love that.
- Yeah? - Yeah.
Okay cool, I'll meet you out front in the morning?
- Sounds good. - Okay.
- Night. - Night.
- What? - [laughs]
Nothing.
How was my driving?
I'd give you five stars.
Coming from you, that's a big compliment.
Hey!
You must be Marcus?
Yeah, it's great to meet you.
Mrs. Anderson, it's a pleasure to meet you.
- There you are. - Thank you.
Thank you so much.
We haven't been quite ready for a new dog
since we lost our terrier, Charlie, last year.
But when we saw this gorgeous girl on your blog,
we just fell in love.
What's her name?
You get the honor of naming your new forever friend.
How about Sandy?
Sandy?
Well, what do you think Sandy?
[dog barks]
It's been a real pleasure.
You be good, okay?
Enjoy guys.
Let's do it, good girl.
- Amazing. - Yeah.
Thank you for inviting me along today.
So glad I came.
That was such a sweet family.
Yeah, they were.
I'm really lucky to get to do what I do.
If I can make a difference in one person's life,
then I'm just a happier guy.
How I feel about interior design.
Yeah?
I know that sounds funny, but if I can bring joy
to someone's life then it makes it all worth it.
The Inn is obviously very close to your heart.
It was my home growing up.
My parents always made sure that it was just...
this beautiful place filled with love.
I lost them when I was young, in a car accident.
Aunt Maggie raised me.
She became my second mom.
I love her and the Inn so much,
but as I grew older I just felt like I needed
some time away from Harbor Island.
That's why you moved to the city?
Yeah, I always had this idea of having
this perfectly designed life in the city.
But since I've been back,
I've just been flooded with all these wonderful memories.
Both from a long time ago
and the new ones we've all been creating here.
It feels like my heart's filling up again.
And the more that we're renovating the Inn...
The more I wish there was a way we could keep it.
My family lived on Harbor Island for generations.
I used to spend summers with my grandmother.
She was just the sweetest soul you ever met.
I wish I spent more time with her when she was still here,
but my ex wasn't exactly a fan of the island.
That was a long time ago.
Anyways, when my grandmother passed
I came back here to deal with her estate
and that's when I checked into your aunt's inn.
Turns out it is a pretty special place.
Yeah, it really is.
You know what I realized when I got back here?
It's not about how much you have.
It's about what you do with it.
Now it's just me, and my plane, and these dogs.
And up until now, that's all I needed.
What's on your mind?
Oh, nothing.
No, everything's perfect.
Lil.
Bradford?
I should give you two a minute.
No, Marcus...
It's good to see you again, Bradford.
- You as well. - Yeah.
Catch you guys later.
Back in the city,
Dan said that he saw the Inn for sale
and I thought this could be a great opportunity.
These are for you.
I...
- So you are here for... - For work.
You know me, I couldn't miss out on a business opportunity.
Yeah, I do know that.
Oh, you remember Dan?
- Lily! - Yes, of course.
Just taking a walk around the Inn
and I've got to say it really is quite something.
It's quaint, small, but charming.
Would you gentlemen like a tour?
Actually, we need to get going.
Check out some of the bigger properties on the island.
We'd love to be the first ones to see the Inn, though.
How about a proper tour tomorrow morning?
Yeah, that sounds great.
Enjoy the island, we'll see you tomorrow.
Great.
Bye, thanks again.
Let's get these in some water.
The land surveyor delivered his report.
He said the good thing is that the property line
includes all of the untouched land next door,
which is an exceptional amount of acreage.
That is amazing!
Okay, what's the bad news?
He said there's structural damage
in the foundation due to land shifting.
So what does that mean?
It means that it's a very costly repair.
Potentially a red flag for future buyers,
unless we can find someone with a lot of money to invest.
But don't worry, with all the land next door
it could be worth their while.
This is a stunning property.
A stunning view.
Now, we did receive some unfortunate news last night.
It seems that there is a crack in the foundation.
[Bradford] That is unfortunate.
However, the good news is that the property line
includes all of the untouched land next door.
That's a lot of acreage.
I would love to see the paperwork on that.
Of course.
[phone vibrates]
Gotta go.
Dan speaking.
[laughs]
You have done an amazing job.
- Thank you. - Yeah.
All your hard work is going to pay off.
Fingers are crossed.
I'm just hoping to find the right owner
to breathe new life into this magical place.
You will.
I should...
Well, enjoy the open house.
See you in a bit.
You look amazing.
Thank you, so do you.
Hey, have you seen Marcus?
He's outside, I think.
Why? Is everything okay?
Yeah no, it's fine.
I just haven't seen him since Bradford show up and...
And...
And these look incredible.
Thank you Christie, you are the best.
Thank you.
[glass clinking]
Hi everyone.
Thank you so much for coming today.
When I was a little girl,
I always thought that the Inn was the most magical place.
And my parents loved it too.
Now we've put a lot of love and care
into shining it up like new again.
So my only hope is that we can pass it on
to somebody who will give it as much love
and care as we all have through the years.
Ladies and gentlemen,
I give you the Harbor Island Inn open house.
Please have a look around, and have fun.
[clapping]
I can't believe how fast we're going
through these sugar tarts.
Can I grab you another tray?
Would you?
- Of course, be right back. - Thank you.
I'm telling you, we've got to strike while the iron is hot.
It goes on for acres.
Both sides, property line goes well beyond that.
Yeah, right to the shore line.
This inn is a goldmine for development.
We can go 15-20 stories easy.
I just saw his handsome little face,
and it was love at first sight.
Hey Miss Bartlett.
Lily, can I talk to you for a minute?
Of course, would you excuse me?
Of course, ta-ta Marcus.
[laughs]
What's going on?
Your boyfriend came here to buy the Inn.
Bradford, he's my ex-boyfriend.
Okay well, maybe you don't know your ex
as well as you thought you did.
What's that supposed to mean?
I overheard that Dan guy talking.
From the sounds of it, they don't have
any intention of keeping the Inn.
Wait, what are you talking about?
Beautiful open house, Lily.
Thank you so much, you two.
Wait, there must be some sort of misunderstanding.
Bradford, he'd never do something like that.
They're going to tear down the Inn and put up condos, Lily.
I mean it's as simple as that, he's all business.
Bradford cares about...
Money.
I was going to say more than money.
He definitely doesn't care about the Inn.
We can't afford not to sell.
There might be another option.
But look, I care about this Inn.
You care about this Inn.
Just call off the open house, please.
Marcus, I really appreciate all of your help.
I do, but I'm going to need you to trust me
and just stay out of it.
Okay, yeah.
Clearly I overstepped.
I'll stay out of your way.
Would you look at this place?
Everybody loves what you've done.
Such a success, I'm going to need some more baked treats.
[glass clinking]
Ladies and gentlemen, I have an announcement to make.
Gather around everyone, gather around.
I've always been a fan of a beautiful place
and this Harbor Island Inn is one of the most beautiful
properties I've ever had the pleasure of setting foot on.
I just got off the phone with my team,
at Real Estate West, and we would like to make
a very generous offer on the Inn.
Real Estate West sees great potential in Harbor Island
and although this Inn is a breathtaking sight,
we'd like to replace it with a new, 15 story,
condo, vacation, resort development.
This is going to change the face of Harbor Island.
As I've always said: the higher we rise,
the better the view.
Lily, this is as much of a surprise to me
as it is to you.
If you'll excuse me.
I know how much this place means to you.
Lily!
May I?
Of course.
I'm sorry, Lil.
I honestly had no idea what Dan was up to.
I understand it's just business.
Don't take the offer.
Stay longer and keep looking for the right buyer.
[laughs]
We can't afford not to.
The Inn needs repairs.
What if we can't find the perfect buyer?
Someone who's willing to invest that much money in it
before they can even do anything with it.
Truly I'm sorry, Lil.
[phone vibrates]
Hello?
Lily?
Hi, this is Beatrice Hawthorne.
Miss Hawthorne hi, so lovely to hear from you.
We saw your new contributions to your design blog
"Harbor Island Is Where The Heart Is".
This is strong work, Lily.
Very strong work.
I wanted to personally congratulate you.
Thank you, Miss Hawthorne.
This is the exact personal touch
that we have been looking for with you.
Your renderings of the Harbor Island Inn are,
well they have your unique thumbprint all over it.
It's very inspired.
So, how would you like to come in this week
for that second interview?
Lily, are you there?
Yeah, I'm here.
So, what do you think?
I can't.
Okay, well how about next week?
Miss Hawthorne, I have truly loved
working for your company.
It has always been my dream to be an interior designer
in the big city.
But ever since I've been on Harbor Island,
I realize that my dream and my inspiration is right here.
Okay Lily, I wish you all the best.
Well, we did our best.
It's no use being upset.
We didn't have much choice and it was time to sell the Inn.
Let's just savor the time we have left here.
I just wanted to let you know
that I have been offered a second interview in the city
for the interior design position.
Wonderful, congratulations dear!
I didn't take it.
But that's been your dream.
Yeah, it was.
I can't let the Inn go this easily,
so I'm going to try one more thing.
What's that?
I'm going into the city to talk to my bank
to see if I could get a loan.
It would be for the repair of the foundations
and any renovations that we would need
to get the Inn up and running again.
I would like to help you run the Inn, Aunt Maggie.
With your blessing, of course.
Well of course, but what about your dreams
of being an interior designer?
I still have ideas for new designs.
And as I'm helping you run the Inn,
I could renovate the rooms one at a time.
That is amazing!
I always thought that inspiration
was a collection of perfectly curated designs,
but I'm starting to realize
that I need to follow my heart a little more.
That sounds wonderful.
And no matter what happens, I'm just so proud of you.
Thank you.
[gentle music]
Hey, stop!
Marcus?
Lily.
You're still here.
You were right.
I should have listened to you.
I think I've just been stuck in this idea
of what my life should look like.
The truth is I wasn't happy.
So I'm sorry.
Don't apologize.
You... you were right.
I was overstepping.
I just, I can't bear to see the Inn go.
But what's worse is the thought
of not seeing your face every day.
I made a counter offer on the Inn.
See, I've been waiting to purchase
the perfect property for my forever home.
It's been right in front of me all along.
The counter offer is in your name,
and it's only if you want it.
Marcus, you can't be serious.
I've never been more serious about anything in my life.
I don't...
[laughs]
Yes, yes! Only if I can pay you back.
You drive a hard bargain.
I will need some help around the Inn.
I might know somebody that can do the job.
Do we have a deal?
We got a deal, city girl.
There's something else
that I've been wanting to do for a while now.
I did have one idea, though.
Maybe we could...
