helpless, you know?

If I can manage the traffic

on Pacific Coast Highway

in the summer,

I think I can figure out a tractor.

Okay?

-All right.

-Thank you.

[Engine chugs to life]

Oh, yeah.

Here we go.

[Tractor crashing]

I'm sorry, I'm sorry!

I'm so sorry!

-Jen!

-Sorry!

You all right?

I'm okay, I'm okay.

I just-- I feel like--

a complete...

Idiot.

What were you thinking,

letting her drive this thing?

She said she knew how.

No, it was not his fault.

Do not blame him.

No, you know what?

No, it's my fault.

It's my fault for agreeing

to this whole deal

in the first place!

Why don't you go back to the house

and pack up your 300 suitcases,

and go back to the city...

Because that's where you belong.

[]

Don't worry about him, hon'.

Men are like that sometimes.

They've got to blow off steam,

I guess.

I'm not...

I'm not upset about him.

I just--

I ruined your beautiful flowers.

Don't worry about that.

There are plenty more

where those came from.

Come on.

I'll show you.

You're going to like this.

Oh...

Yeah.

Maggie, that was Brett's wife,

she loved her violets.

They're so beautiful...

They're her very own variety, too.

She kept cross-pollinating

different types

until she got

just the right color and fragrance.

Do you guys sell a lot of them?

Oh, no. No. We've never

sold a single one.

What do you mean?

I saw them at dot's cafe.

No, no.

Brett won't sell them.

He gives them away...

To keep Maggie's memory alive.

So what was that all about?

What was what all about?

You know what I'm talking about.

Jen and the tractor.

It was an accident.

You didn't have to go

all ballistic about it.

Yeah, well,

she could've wrecked the place.

She could've hurt herself.

Or worse.

You've been talking a lot

about getting rid of her

for the farm's sake.

Yup. That's right.

You sure this isn't all

about something else?

Like what?

Like maybe she's bringing

back some bad memories for you.

I think you got company.

Hey, I need to talk to you.

You're still here?

I thought you were selling the place.

Brett and I are...

Kind of working together.

I'll take a latte.

Decaf, non-fat, please.

I'll get right on that.

She really doesn't like me,

does she?

Nah. You're just from out of town

and she's a local.

That's all.

Look, if this is about yesterday,

I am sorry.

I was out of line.

No. It's about these.

I've been doing some research

and violets are a seriously

lucrative cash crop.

People love them.

And you have an entire

greenhouse full of them.

No.

But it's all about the branding.

If we started marketing these

as the Jarrett Violet,

that would give the farm

another identifiable

revenue stream,

which could help me

sell the property--

what part of "no"

don't you understand?

The violets are not for sale.

Okay...

Brett, I understand

what they mean to you--

no. I don't think that you do.

Hannah, can you cancel

my order, please?

I've lost my appetite.

Hi, Jen.

We're making some pies.

Jennifer doesn't do pies, dear.

You know what?

I want pie.

I'm trying to help,

but he's not helping back.

It's like he deliberately

wants us to fail or something.

I don't--

I don't understand.

Well, sometimes,

people get stuck in life,

and all they really need

is just a little... push.

Yeah, well, I'd like

to push him off that swing.

[Harry]:

Jen, I need to talk to you.

[Jen]:
Not right now, Harry.

I'm a little busy.

What are you doing?

Something that should've

been done a long time ago.

Hi, daddy!

Hey.

You look good on that.

What's this?

Did you fix that?

No, Jen did it.

Jen?

You know where Jen is?

I don't know exactly.

But if you asked,

I was supposed to say

she was making sure that

nobody ate your bottom line.

All right, kiddo.

[]

Whoa.

That's nice work,

Miss Stone.

I was also impressed

with the porch swing.

Thank you.

At least I can do

something right around here.

I wanted to say that I'm sorry.

I've been acting like a jerk.

Yeah. Kinda.

Why don't you leave

that stuff here?

Come on.

-Okay.

-Grab the horn if you like.

-Okay. Can I hold you?

-Sure.

Whoa. Whoa.

-Okay.

-Okay?

[Jen]:
I'm on it.

-Nice and easy.

-Okay.

[Jen]:
Here we go.

[]

[Thunder rumbles, rain falling]

Here comes the rain.

Yeah, I used to love the rain.

It always meant

things were gonna grow.

You know,

you're allowed to move on.

Yeah, I know.

I just don't know if I can.

Sometimes, it helps...

...if you don't have to do it alone.

Yeah. I think you're right.

[Jen sighs, owl hoots]

You still up?

Yeah, I couldn't sleep.

Pudding.

I think Jen made this.

You know,

I'm starting to think

that I misjudged

this whole situation.

What do you mean?

Mm! This is really good!

It is good.

I don't know,

I just think

maybe things have been

the same around here

for too long, huh?

Maybe.

I was thinking,

okay, what if we can turn

this place around,

make a profit?

Maybe we could hire

some more full-timers.

Yeah. I could use the help.

Not just to help you.

To replace you.

Where am I going?

School, maybe?

The rest of the world?

I don't know.

Look, I just want you to know

you've got a choice,

all right?

You know, just because

Jarretts have been

on this property forever

doesn't mean they've

gotta be here forever.

It's Jen, isn't it?

She's having an effect on you.

All of us.

All right, don't hog that.

Come on.

Did she really make that?

I think--

I mean, who else?

[Old Frankie crows]

[Old Frankie crows]

Good morning!

Good morning.

[Jen]:
Yes, let the bank know

that we will have

the updated financials

in a few weeks.

Well, we have

several new revenue streams

that we are very excited about,

including a rare flower

that is exclusive to

the Jarrett farm.

Yeah. Okay, thank you. Bye.

Where's the jar

that was in here?

I don't know, dear.

It was there last night.

Huh.

I had no idea

that Grandma's Pumpkin Cream

was going to be

so popular around here.

Lou! What's up?

Uh... well...

See, the thing is,

we've got this dance tonight,

for Fred Jenkins.

And Phil thinks we oughta go.

That will be so much

fun for you guys!

[Groans]

Yeah.

I just wondered

if maybe you had some more

of that pumpkin jelly?

Maybe you could give me a hand?

I would love to, Lou.

I'm gonna give you the works.

Wow.

Come on.

Oh, one more thing--

I hope you don't mind,

but I brought a few friends with me.

All right, we're done.

How does that feel?

Oh, my.

How was it?

That felt heavenly.

Yay!

Okay, next?

I hope you don't mind,

especially after

the way I was to you,

but city girls and country

girls don't always mix.

Well, in here,

we're just girls.

[Pats chair]

All right.

Have you ever had a facial?

No, I haven't.

No. Okay.

So, step number one--

clean your face.

Okay.

You want it all gone.

[]

This is fun.

Beautiful!

Thank you.
