I was really worried about you.

You know if it's up to me,

I will always come home.

My wife,

out taming monster waves.

I love you.

Ow! Belinda!

No, no, no.

Oh, no,

you're not doing that today.

Chicka, I really want to.

Oh, but the surf's too good!

And everyone's out.

Even some by the name of Thomas.

Hmm...

Well, we better get going, then.

Let's go.

Um, this is very isolated.

Should I be worried?

No. It is a bit weird

around here, though.

When I was a kid, I thought

a witch lived in these rocks.

My brothers told me

stories about her...

How she drowned sailors

and rode whales

to the bottom of the sea.

Have you told me that before?

Don't think so.

It's cool, huh?

Cora Hamilton!

So, you still want

to make boards?

Sort of forgotten

about them, to be honest.

I haven't been in the workshop

for about a year.

Do you miss it?

Yeah. Yeah, I do.

I love starting with nothing

and seeing it sort of reveal...

Reveal itself to you.

Yeah. Yeah. Exactly.

I don't know.

It kind of seemed

like he was in there

waiting to be finished.

- Who?

- Your unfinished board.

It's like he was just in there,

waiting for you to come back

in and finish him up.

It's a "he," is he?

Well, yeah.

Well, a woman wouldn't

wait around like that.

You did that.

What?

You don't remember, do you?

Wait, that was you?

You were that annoying boy

that I used to chase around?

Yes!

- So I have been here before.

- Mm-hmm.

And you've told me

that story before.

You tried to scare me

with the witch.

Bet you can't catch me anymore.

Okay.

Huh.

So a guy can wait around, then.

I wasn't waiting for

you to come back,

but I'm glad you did.

Hello, you've reached 1955.

There's no Internet

but great gas prices.

Darling, it's me.

- Mom?

- How are you?

- Good. Great.

- That's good.

It's lovely to hear your voice.

Yeah. Yours, too.

I have to

say the apartment

is very quiet without you.

But I have some

very exciting news.

What's up?

Well, I've been

working like a dog

to get you that contract,

and guess what.

Morgana wants you to launch her

upcoming New York campaign.

So, uh, wait,

what does this mean?

This means

you have a new chance,

and I think your trip

to Australia has

actually been a good thing

for both of us...

A new perspective, some time

away to work things out.

But you'll need to come home

as soon as possible.

Lily is booking flights

as we speak.

We can get you

on a plane tonight.

Wh... Tonight?

Th... That's so soon. I-I can't.

Morgana wants

to see you on Tuesday.

Look, I'm sure

the schedule is tight,

but there's this festival...

This is a chance for you

to wipe your slate clean,

and I want to help you do that.

Lily will send through

the flight details.

Oh, my appointment's here.

I got to run.

Call me on your way

to the airport.

Bye, darling.

I can't believe this.

What?

That I actually thought that

I could stay here, have this.

Have what?

That was my mom.

My modeling contract's back on,

so I have to go

back to New York.

You're leaving?

I was always gonna have

to leave eventually.

You... You get some

modeling thing and you...

You go?

It's not just

some modeling thing.

I mean, it's...

It's a really big contract.

You know...

If that's what you want.

I've worked years for this.

I thought modeling

made you unhappy.

It does. Sometimes. But...

- But what?

- I'm not like you.

I can't just give up

a good opportunity

because it got too hard.

What does that mean?

It means the keys

aren't locked up, Tom.

Okay, nothing is stopping you

from going in there

and finishing that board.

Tom.

Hey. What's wrong?

I got the contract

with Morgana Ferzari.

Well, congratulations.

But what about design?

I'm really sick of people

telling me what is

and is not my dream,

especially when no one here

has the courage to actually

do what they love.

I'm just saying don't be afraid

to do the thing

that's gonna make you happy.

Yeah, says the pro surfer

who doesn't even surf.

Look, I walk around

this place and Blue Soul,

and it's like I can

almost still feel Caleb.

But it's this dark

and sad version of him.

It's so heavy. No wonder you're

afraid to get in the water.

You'll probably sink.

I lost my husband.

Yeah, you don't want

to sell the school,

but you don't want to run it.

You don't want Tom

to work with Owen,

but you don't want him

to work for you.

It's like you're stuck.

Why don't you look around

and see all of the people

who are willing to be

stuck with you?

Whoa. Sorry, miss.

This is way too heavy.

You can't take this.

We got to go.

Miss, we've a storm

front coming in.

Are you on or off?

What do you want?

Margot!

Margot?

Margot!

Wait, Tom.

I couldn't do it.

I couldn't go.

I'm so scared

because I feel like

I may have just ruined

the best things I've ever had.

You haven't ruined it.

I've got to go check the boats.

There's a storm coming.

Can you find Margot, tell her

I'll meet her at Blue Soul?

- Yeah.

- Mm-hmm?

Margot.

Her board.

I love you.

Caleb.

Margot!

Margot!

Margot!

Are you sure?

So she didn't even

board the plane?

Yeah, I see.

Yes, I will notify Morgana.

Yeah, good night.

- Ready, mommy?

- We're ready.

It's going to be

my new party dress.

Wow, darling,

it's certainly unique.

It's wonderful.

You're so creative, Cora.

Is that sticky tape?

Yep, and I used staples, too.

It's perfect.

Can you make me one?

- But you're a giant.

Now, come on, model it

for us. Come on, darling.

Keep your shoulders

back and chin up.

Chin up.

Look like you're having fun.

Smile, Cora. Smile.

You beam when you smile.

I just wanted to show

you what I made.

And it's fabulous.

Sof, I don't think she wants to.

Do it properly.

Cora, do it like we practiced.

Walk like this.

Here. Copy me.

Good girl.

Oh, you pretty girl.

I don't want to do it anymore.

I didn't think I would ever

be ready to say goodbye.

I'm surrounded by

people who love me

and this life that

we built together.

And I'm gonna be okay.

So I'm letting you go, honey.

Okay, girls,

time to get dressed up.

Chicka, boards sorted?

- Yes.

- And no one saw you?

- None.

Ooh, except for Belinda,

but we have an understanding.

Ladies and gentlemen,

girls and boys,

welcome to the main event...

The vintage fashion show

designed by Cora Hamilton.

Take it away!

Okay. Just have fun.

And if I close my eyes

I can taste it,

can't erase it

Some things are

meant to last forever

Some hearts, they burn

like a wildfire, wildfire

Keep wishing

I could set it free

Some things you

can't release

Burning, burning like

a wildfire, wildfire

Keep wishing

I could set it free

Keep wishing

I could set it free

We live forever

in my fantasy

Boys like you,

and girls like me

Can't find the words and

I can't escape it

Boys like you

And girls like me

And when you held my hand

Electricity was raining down

Can you hear that sound

Light a match,
