It's almost like

a family.

How would you mean?

Well, in a family

just like in a kitchen,

everyone has a certain role.

There are moms, dads and kids

but

sometimes it can get confusing.

Like,

when new people come.

Are you talking about

anyone in particular?

Nope.

Just talking.

Nice beautiful croissants and hot.

My french served

with killer breakfast.

I'll take a hot croissant over

a stack of pancakes any day.

I couldn't sleep.

So...

I got up and baked these.

Then I went over my list to make sure

everything is ready for the party today.

List?

You sound like Grace.

Well.

Sylvie.

You want to ride over in the van

with me to the itinerary.

I need to go

early to set up.

- Okay. Grace and I can...

- Well, I was thinking just you.

And then maybe get

hot chocolate on the way.

You mean like,

this place we used to...

before squeezy morning.

Okay, I'll go get dressed.

Hope you enjoy it.

Grace.

Grace.

What is the matter?

People keep eating these.

They're suppose to.

But Monsieur Pernaud

hasn't try one yet, and...

we made them to look

perfect for him.

- Relax.

- I can't relax.

I forced Uncle Bernard

to take this risk. So...

if it goes wrong,

it will be all my fault.

It will be fine.

And he doesn't look nervous.

This is my one shot.

What if I blow it?

- Bernard, relax.

- My customers will vanish,

the ptisserie will close.

- Bernard, calm down.

- Sophie, prepare yourself.

- We're about to lose everything.

- Please calm down.

Oop.

- Jean-Luc is coming.

- What?

Just...

- Hello, Bernard.

- Hello, Jean-Luc.

- How are you?

- Good, thank you.

So, my guest have been talking about

certain macaron of yours.

Yes.

Which one?

The strawberry.

I want to taste it.

Of course.

Colette.

Mmm.

Huh.

Mmm.

I see that my friends are right.

They are quite happy

with your desserts.

In fact, many of us made why

we do not serve them in my hotel.

- Really? That right.

- And so I've decided that we should.

- Whoa, we...

- That is.

If you can deliver

my orders on time.

And at the exact level

of quality I demand.

Of course.

- Come by my office tomorrow to discuss.

- Oh, yes.

Thank you.

Thank you very much, Jean-Luc.

- Thank you very much.

- Excellent.

Alert to all the guests,

that the Palace de Paris

now serve the delights

of the ptisserie Bernard Mupin.

Thank you very much.

Thank you, Jean-Luc.

- Yeah!

- Ha-ha-ha..

Incredible.

Quite a ham.

And I have

you girls to thank.

No, Papa.

It was Grace.

All Grace.

Yes, you're right.

Grace.

Thank you, my little

American business woman.

Thank you.

Thank you.

- Look, Papa.

- Look at the balloon.

Wow.

It's so cool.

It's gorgeous.

Grace.

It has been a joy

getting to know you.

And thank you for all of

your help in the kitchen and

everywhere else.

You work hard and

you are very talented.

- Really?

- Yeah.

Didn't think you thought

I was any good.

Well.

I admit I have

my doubt at first.

But you proved me

wrong in so many ways.

Do you think that...

I'm good enough to strum my

grandparents bakery some day.

Oh, yeah.

You're good enough to do that.

And much more.

You remind of myself

when I was younger.

Thanks

And, thank you for teaching

me the "Je Ne sais quoi".

I'll never forget it.

But here is my

last lesson to you.

You did not learn the

"Je Ne sais quoi"

The "Je Ne sais quoi"

is something you keep learning.

It will be different

for every dish.

That makes me nervous.

I still like to have

things plan out.

To have a recipe to follow.

Stay open to new challenges, Grace.

Take risks.

That's how you make

amazing things happen.

Bye bye, Miss dear.

Bye, Aunt Sophie.

- Bye, Grace.

- Bye.

Here.

For your bracelet.

To remember our crazy

adventures at the hotel.

It looks just like Bonbon.

I'm sure I'm going to

miss that cute little face.

Now I can carry a little bit of

both of you back home with me.

Thanks.

My cousin.

And friend.

Yes.

Totally yes.

- Bye, Grace.

- Bye.

Bye.

- Surprise.

- Hi.

Hi.

- Hi, Grandma.

- Grace.

So halfway through his bath,

he jumped out of the tub and

went racing around my yard,

covered in bubbles.

My neighbor asked what

kind of dog he was and I said.

- A shampoodle!

- A shampoodle!

- Eh-ha-ha.

- Ha ha.

Wow.

Sounds like you guys really made

the "Paw spa" a success.

Surprise?

No no no...

It's just...

Well.

Now that I'm home and...

I love to help.

That would be amazing.

- Totally amazing.

- Fantastic.

Awesome.

Why don't I come over tomorrow and

you can show me your business plan.

I learn a ton about advertising

from my Uncle Bernard and

I've a million ideas

we could use.

- First, we've to get them to...

- Okay, wait a minute.

You don't want to help.

- You want to take over.

- No no no. Of course not.

It's just...

When I was in Paris

I got to work with people who knew what

they were doing running a real business.

But, the paw spa

is a real business.

I know that.

I just...

thought we could use everything

that I learned in France

to make the paw spa better

back here in the States.

You thought our dog business

would be an epic fail.

And it wasn't.

I've got news for you, Grace.

We've good ideas too.

It's not all about you.

Come on, Ella.

Let's go.

Oh.

Honestly.

Are you sure there's nothing

your parents can do.

They're so far behind in the

mortgage payment, I don't see how.

So sad to think of closing down your mom

and dad's bakery after all these years.

Grandma and Grandpa's

bakery is closing?

Oh, honey. You weren't

suppose to hear any of that.

You can't give up

on the bakery.

Honey. Believe me,

we don't want to.

But we owe so much money.

But, I can help.

I want to try and

get more customers.

And,

I've been saving my allowance.

Plus the money from the cupcakes

that will buy new bikes.

Here.

I want you to

use it for the bakery.

Grace, please sit down.

It is incredibly generous of you.

But.

We're talking about

a huge amount of money.

And business has been

declining for a while.

- It might not be worth it.

- Not... worth it?

Of course our bakery

is worth it.

It's more than just a business.

When I was with

Uncle Bernard in Paris

I saw that his business was

more than just where he work.

It was like

part of him.

Aunt Sophie too.

They put all of their love and

heart right into that place.

Just like you have here.

This bakery was your dream.

And now it's part

of our family.

We can't let it go.

Can't we at least

try to save it.

Of course, we can.

But, we don't want you

to get your hopes up.

Too late.

We can save the bakery.

I just know it.

Oh, I know.

Thanks for coming.

And,

I just wanted to say that...

I'm really sorry,

for everything I said yesterday.

- Oh, we're sorry too.

- We're sorry too.

We're suppose to be

your besties, but

we're acting like worsties.

I can't believe I said

all those mean things.

You were right.

I wasn't listening.

I mean you guys
