[laughs] It means

somebody who's happiest

when it's raining.

Oh, well,

I'm a "get-er-done-a-phile."

-Just sit.

-I don't wanna sit.

-Sit!

-I'm gonna sit.

All right.

Take a deep breath in...

Let it out.

[exhales pointedly]

Now take a sip of hot cocoa

from my fancy owl mug...

Mm-hmm.

And stare at the fire.

Okay. Boring.

Do it again.

Breathe in...

Exhale...

Just sit back.

[Molly laughs]

Just relax...

Rrr...

Breathe.

[breathing smoothly]

Mm...

[whispers]:

Breathe.

[exhaling deeply, slowly]

[quietly]:
There it is.

Hmm.

What?

My parents used to sit here

on rainy nights

and watch me play

when I was a kid.

It was the best.

Thank you

for helping me remember that.

My pleasure.

[]

[gasps]

[thunder crashes]

[dripping]

Uh-oh.

[heavy dripping]

You should've had this

fixed years ago, Dad.

Yeah, with what money?

With the money

you'd get

from paying guests

if you hadn't shut down.

I can't run this place alone.

Then you should sell.

I told you

you could fix it up,

but I will not sell.

Fine.

Sorry you had

to see that.

I'll be right back.

[plays some notes]

[]

Do you play?

Totally.

I'm a musical genius.

Please.

[grunts theatrically]

[plays haltingly]

Oh, come on!

Move over, hotshot.

Ohh. Let me guess.

You took lessons

your whole life

and you're about

to destroy me

with your talent.

Pretty much. Yeah.

[inhales deeply]

Fingers.

[Playing "Chopsticks"]

[laughing]

You're terrible!

Yes. I am.

As are you, madam.

A piano like this

deserves better.

Yeah. I know.

My dad used to play

a lot, though.

He's really good, too.

My mom loved it.

They tried to teach me

a little bit.

Thought it'd be cute

if I played for the guests.

Oh, now I see why

the place is so empty.

Oh!

You're funny.

-Yeah?

-Yeah.

Thank you.

I always wished

I'd taken lessons.

I always wanted to be able

to play "Clair de Lune".

Yeah. It's beautiful.

Okay! Ahem.

Again. Fingers.

We got--

We got this.

Yeah, yeah. Absolutely.

You ready?

[Playing "Chopsticks" duet]

-[both laughing]

-Yes!

Success!

[]

[frustrated sigh]

[Knocking]

Hello?

[]

[exhales happily]

[]

[machine chugging]

Hey.

Little late to be

interior decorating,

isn't it?

What can I say?

Inspiration struck.

Maybe it was the cookies.

You got 'em, huh?

I just had to

redo these curtains.

Uh...

I'm not so sure my dad's

gonna be okay with that.

Yeah, I talked to him.

He said we can fix up

anything we want.

Except the kitchen.

He wants us to leave that

exactly as it is.

Want some help?

That would be great.

What do you

want me to do?

Um...

[]

[]

Hey!

Whoa.

It's 3:
00 in the morning!

We need a snack.

[exhales]

So, this is my take on, uh--

Pizza bites?

No. Bruschetta.

Try it.

Oh, my gosh.

Mm.

Mm. Not bad.

Not bad?

It's amazing.

It's different,

right?

I think that's what I love most

about what I do.

Bringing together

different ingredients

that you wouldn't necessarily

think would work together.

Will they complement each other,

or will they contrast?

When you put 'em together

they kinda make

something amazing,

or will it just miss?

You know, believe me,

I've missed before.

But, sometimes...

Sometimes

the perfect combination

is right in front of you.

And as soon as you taste it,

you just know.

I think that's why

I love that term "fusion."

It's the bringing together

of different ingredients

and different styles,

to make something better,

something unique.

Something magical.

Yeah.

[birds singing]

[]

[]

So...

What do you think?

I think...

Clarissa would just love it.

I think Nick would love

to hear you say that.

Ah, thing is, I...

I messed things up with him.

I don't know how to talk

about his mother

without having all the pain

coming back

like it was yesterday.

I can't even picture

loving someone that much.

Why not?

If you open yourself up

to love,

you open yourself up to...

pain.

It just doesn't seem worth it.

Oh, of course, it's worth it.

I want to

show you something.

It's the china we used to

use when we were open.

There's more than enough

settings here for the wedding.

Thank you, Charlie.

You're welcome

to anything in there.

[]

"From the moment we met,

I knew we were destined

to spend our lives together."

"You are the sun

rising over a green meadow

bringing light and love

to my soul."

Hey.

Good morning.

What's wrong?

Have you seen these?

What are those?

Love letters.

That your mom and dad

wrote to each other.

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

Who said you could pry

into my family business?

I wasn't prying.

Well, it sure

looks like it.

Nick! Stop it.

I let her find them.

I wanted her--

I wanted you both

to see what love can be.

That it is worth it.

Have you read them, Nick?

Your dad is a poet.

Poet?

I don't find it poetic

to love somebody so much,

that you give up on life

when that person's gone.

I don't get that.

I wish I'd handled

things differently, Nick.

If I could do it

all over again...

I would.

Me too.

[]

I don't want to talk

about this anymore.

I'm just saying,

if we sell your place,

we can buy a house

anywhere in the country

and not have to worry

about money for a while.

I would rather

be broke

than live

outside of Manhattan.

Seems you're well on your way.

Hi! We got the stuff.

[Molly]:
Great.

Can't wait to get started.

[door slams]

You guys okay?

Yeah. We're fine.

Just happy to be back here,

ready to help.

Right?

Of course!

Where do we start?

How are you with a mop?

[]

You missed a spot, Gus.

I know it's hard

to visualize now,

but once we get

it all cleaned up,

it'll start

falling into place.

I'm sure

it's gonna be great.

What?

[chuckling]

I am cleaning mouse droppings

off the floor

of my wedding venue.

I know it's not what

you dreamed of, Ames,

but your wedding

will still be beautiful.

It's not the wedding.

It's just,

before all this happened,

I thought I knew exactly

how my life was supposed to be,

and now I can't see it.

Have you

talked to James?

I tried,

but he doesn't

understand.

He thinks it's some kind

of a reality check,

like this is supposed

to be good for us.

Well, maybe in the end,

it'll bring you closer.

You have each other.

And you also have me!

24-7, on duty from now

until you walk down that aisle.

What?

You look so happy.

I thought you and Nick would've

killed each other by now.

No way. [Gasping]

Molly!

Do you like Nick?

No!

Because that would

be amazing!

We could be

"married couple BFFs."

We could live

in the same neighborhood.

Our kids could be

best friends!

Amy, stop it!

There's nothing

going on.

-Are you sure?

-Yes. I'm sure.

It's impossible.

Neither of us wants

anything to do with love.

Who said anything

about love?

You did.

No, I didn't.

Very... very interesting.

Just stop!

Homemade pasta

with truffle cream sauce

and radish leaves.

Sriracha-brine fried chicken

on rosemary-infused

buttermilk waffles.
