Hearts Around the Table: Jenna's First Love (2025) Movie Script
Shari, this is DC.
If a client wants me to
work Sunday, I work Sunday!
Even event gurus need
a day off, Jenna!
Well the meeting's
with a tech icon
who is famous for working 24/7.
Oh, who is it?
Oh, let me guess. You're
under one of those NBAs?
I think you mean NDA.
You've been out of
the country too long.
And no.
He's been very open
source with everything
to do with his company.
It's billionaire Tom Redlands.
Oh, wow.
He's kind of a big deal.
Tom Redlands!
Exactly. And he's
starting a new nonprofit.
So I really need to
nail this account.
Well just nail it quickly.
Don't let him keep you too long.
Healthy boundaries, Jenna.
You know I'm working on that.
And Sunday Supper is on.
Kiki is making your favorite!
Tex-Mex, Jenna!
Yumm.
Just smile a lot and agree with
him but let him know you have
only have ten minutes to
spare because it's Sunday.
Okay, thank you, Angie.
Jenna, Jenna!
This is what you got to do.
You got to go in there,
you got to tell him you're
going to give it 110 percent
and you're going to
knock it out of the park.
That's all he wants to hear.
Salad!
Thanks Josh!
Your sports lingo is always so
helpful in a business meeting.
Doing my best for the team!
Just be yourself!
It's the best you can be.
Thanks, Angie!
And pick up chips on the way!
Don't wait for me!
But you're important.
We will wait!
We will?
Most of us will wait.
Oh!
Oh no!
So sorry.
Sorry, I wasn't looking either.
I was not watching
where I was going.
Here you go.
Andrew!
Jenna?
What are you doing here?
I thought you were in Paris.
I, I was.
But I moved home to get into
real estate with my brother,
John, and it turns out
that's not very interesting.
I started my own
consulting firm.
Wow. That sounds impressive.
What about you?
What are you up to?
You're back from Chicago?
Five years ago.
Oh wow.
Yeah, I got my degree in
marketing and design and
came back here to
put it to work.
That's great.
Yeah.
Here you go.
- Thank you.
- Sorry.
Well, it was nice
to run into you.
Literally.
Oh, sorry, I have a meeting.
Oh, no, of course. Sure, yeah.
It was good to see you.
You too.
Hello.
Hello?
I have a meeting
with Tom Redlands.
It seems he's given
me your number.
You're the event guru from
Thistlebird Marketing?
That's me.
I'm consulting with Tom's firm.
No way!
That's crazy.
What are the chances of that?
Oh, is that Tom's office?
No, it's my family.
Your foster family.
It's been so long
since I've them.
How's Shari and Josh and Angie?
I remember those dinners
you guys used to have.
What a feast.
You remember!
Yeah, you always said how
important those weekly dinners
were to you all.
Wait, it's Sunday right now.
Right?
Uh huh.
Are you still doing
Sunday Suppers?
Of course.
It's the glue that
keeps us together.
But let's do this meeting.
I can assure you, nothing gets
in the way of me and my work.
It's good to know, um,
but this can absolutely
wait until tomorrow.
Let's reschedule.
Go have dinner with your family.
Really?
Yeah.
What about Mr. 24/7?
Ahh... That's just branding.
Yum! It smells so good in here.
Ah! You made it!
Hi!
- Hey, Jen.
- Josh!
Interception!
Thank you!
Cilantro, fresh from the garden!
You look so lovely.
So professional.
A little too professional
for Sunday Supper!
Jenna! Awww!
So, how did you ditch
the billionaire?
The meeting was
rescheduled to tomorrow.
Good!
Well, see now that
just makes sense.
But still, you know the rule.
I know, last to arrive
is on dish duty.
Ah, it's a simple game.
You wash the dish, you dry the
dish, you put the dish away.
It's a game of inches!
Sports analogy and Pacino.
Okay, everybody take a seat!
Ah, needs salsa.
Salsa's almost ready.
Yeah, this is going
to be a good one.
I feel it.
Okay, enough about me.
I want to hear about
everyone else's week.
Careful what you wish for.
He's referring to my
fabulous new commission,
Cookie Sterling.
The host from "DC Today"?
- Yes.
- I love her!
Well, Shari had a little
challenge with it.
It wasn't her favorite day.
I'm painting a family
portrait with her twin boys
near this fountain
on her property.
I couldn't get those boys to
sit still for one second.
She actually tripped and
fell in the fountain.
Thank you, Angie,
I almost forgot!
Yeah, it was crazy.
Can't wait to see that painting.
Water color?
All right Coach.
Did you already give the
track meet play by play?
- No.
- Yes!
Well, I could hear
it all over again.
Oh, thank you, Angie.
I try to keep it
to the highlights.
Well, I did like the
one about that shy girl
who came first place.
That was sweet.
Oh, is that the same one who
froze at state last year?
Yeah. Yeah.
She beat all the other
schools in triple jump.
I love that!
And those kids can really
eat a lot of burgers.
Yes they can!
Kiki brought her food
truck to the meet.
I did. And they cleaned me out.
Of course they did.
So how were classes this week?
Everything add up?
Now we got the funny one here.
Yeah, it's good.
Some of the kids who are
struggling are getting more
confident, asking for
help with trigonometry,
which is great.
Asking for help is
such a beautiful skill.
Totally!
How about you, Rory?
What's new?
I don't know. Nothing.
Why don't you tell
them about school?
Okay.
I got an eight out of
10 on my math quiz.
That's awesome, buddy!
Do you like math?
I like it because
it's just numbers.
I don't have to talk to anyone.
You're going to make new
friends, you'll see.
It takes a minute to get
used to a new school.
Uh huh.
Yes it does.
I'm so excited for you, Jenna,
rubbing shoulders
with the tech elite.
Well, about that.
The meeting wasn't
actually with Tom.
He sent his consultant.
And I'll be working
with Andrew Clarington.
Wait, what?
The Andrew Clarington?
Your old Andrew Clarington?
The one and only.
Yeah, it turns out he's
Tom Redlands' liaison.
And how do you feel about that?
Do we need a refresh
on boundaries.
Yeah, exactly.
You need to talk
to Tom Redlands,
and you need to tell him that
there's a conflict of interest
and you cannot work with Andrew!
Shari, I can't do that.
That would be so unprofessional!
Ah...
Well, Rory, speak up.
You can say anything here.
Who's Andrew?
Hmm. How to explain Andrew?
He's her ex.
He's a heartbreaker.
He's just someone that I really,
really liked in high school
who apparently
didn't like me back.
Well, all I can say is, I hope
you try and protect your heart.
I will. Thanks, Ang.
All right!
Let's say what
we're hopeful for.
Josh, you go first?
Okay, ah...
I am hopeful that
I can talk Rory
into joining the track team.
I love that!
You.
Me next? Ummm...
I am hopeful that I can pay
off my food truck this year.
- Yes.
- Right.
Ah, I'm hopeful I can get
through this new commission
without going under water again.
Literally.
Oh there it is!
Boom!
Your turn, Rory.
I don't know.
Nothing.
It's okay, sweetie.
It's just our way of lifting
up our hearts to know there's
always something
to look forward to.
May I be excused?
Yes. Of course!
Thank you for asking.
Have a great week, buddy.
Have fun at school!
Is everything okay with him?
You all remember what it
was like in the beginning.
For each of you.
You want me to go
and talk to him?
That'd be wonderful, any of
you reaching out would help.
Well, he stayed all the way
through dinner tonight.
That's a win.
You know, I think it was
all of Jenna's gossip
that kept him interested.
Oh, Jenna.
You didn't say what
you are hopeful for.
I'm hopeful I'll get through
this new job, Andrew and all.
Yes.
Cheers!
I need a new fork.
I got it. I got it.
Sit down.
But I take it you like the
new job and it pays well?
Yes, it's for a great cause.
And yes, it does.
Well, then maybe this is
the job that gets you into
the proper office space.
My assistant is looking to set
me up with a real estate agent,
but I love you for
worrying about me.
I know it's hard for you,
but sometimes you've got
to put yourself first.
You've told me that separate
spaces for work and home
would be healthier for you.
It would.
I'm still trying to figure
out that work-life balance.
You're smart.
You'll figure it out.
You can do anything.
Thanks Ang.
Of course. Love you.
Love you too.
I'll call you tomorrow.
Okay. Drive carefully.
I will.
- Good morning!
- Good morning.
Thanks for coming
in early today.
Of course.
I just want to make sure I'm
a hundred percent prepped
for this meeting.
Jenna, you and I are a team.
I would never send you
out there unprepared.
But don't worry, you'll
be making it up to me
with many lattes. Many.
Deal.
Okay, everything you need
for tomorrow is ready to go.
Here are the segments
of the pitch,
color coded, because that's fun.
Oh, and I started an AI mock
up of what the event floor
might look in two
different color schemes.
Should be ready
before you get there.
I love your brain.
And I'm so grateful.
Thank you.
It's your vision.
I'm just executing it.
Which reminds me.
Can you please give that real
estate agent a call back?
Apparently there's this
cute little corner office
on K Street to see.
You don't think we can keep up
with everyone else
working remotely?
No offense Jenna,
but you need a life.
You can't entertain the way
your apartment is right now.
Hm. Yeah.
Work-life balance.
You're not wrong.
Which means I'm right.
As usual.
You better get going.
Yes.
Good luck with this Andrew guy.
I searched him.
He seems like a
straight-shooter.
Yeah. Yeah.
He's, ah, he's all right.
Text me if you need anything.
I will.
- I'll see you later.
- See ya.
Good morning!
Hi, how are you?
I'm good. How are you?
Good.
I got you an iced mocha latte
with three pumps of vanilla,
topped with whipped cream.
Oh wow!
I haven't had one of these
since junior year when I could
burn off sugar just by
walking down the halls.
I guess I should
have texted. Sorry.
You know what?
Who am I to turn down whipped
cream on a Monday morning?
That's the spirit!
Mmm. It's good.
Thanks for finding
an office space.
My office is a little
cramped at the moment.
Oh yeah, no problem.
Tom owns like a dozen
buildings so we have our pick.
Great view.
It sure is.
All right!
Well, Ms. Event Guru, would you
like to tell me your thoughts
on the All For Family
Foundation gala?
First of all, I love the
concept of this foundation.
All For Family.
It's all in the name.
Connecting family with all
the resources they need.
So that led me to think, why not
make a connection with the gala?
Let's create a mock up of an
All For Family center,
but fun-sized.
A mock up of the center?
Yes. So, this is a nonprofit
that helps families with food,
daycare, health services,
housing solutions.
They even have therapy pets.
And as I understand it, if
this pilot program goes well,
you'll be able to open centers
all across the country?
That's right, yeah.
So all the more reason to let
the potential donors see what
the families are getting
once the money flows in.
And we can have fun with it.
Catering trays at
the food area maybe?
An area for people to visit
with the therapy pets
and see how they reduce anxiety.
It's a great way to
get people excited
about the idea in a
very hands-on way.
What do you think?
Um...
It's...
Yeah, it's...
It's interesting.
It's definitely interesting.
I, ah, I just don't think it's
what Tom will be expecting.
Exactly! That's my specialty.
Giving people what they
didn't know they wanted.
I know people hire you
for the unconventional,
but Tom has made it
clear that's not him.
So, in this case, respectfully,
I just, I think it might be
missing the mark a little bit.
In what way?
Well, this is Tom's first
foray into nonprofits.
That's why he hired me, right.
High end donors equal
high end experiences.
These are his words.
So I just think Tom might be a
little put off thinking that
his donors might have to
get their hands dirty.
Who's getting their hands dirty?
I just mean a lot of
these people want to help
but when it comes down to it,
a lot of them shy away
from learning about the
ground floor details.
They just want to mingle with
other high net worth people.
So it's just about networking
and not the actual cause?
No need to get defensive.
Sorry.
Well, what are you
thinking for the gala?
Okay.
I was thinking,
a champagne garden party at
the Harrington Royal Hotel.
Oh, wow. That's...
Traditional.
Exactly. Just a real
black-tie affair.
Classy...
Caviar, canaps, and I don't
know, classical music trio?
Exactly.
Now you're reading Tom's mind!
Okay, I need some girl talk.
Are you seeing someone?
Tell me you're seeing someone.
Well, I am sorry to disappoint.
But, I just got
back a few months
and I am not ready to
see anyone right now.
Life is so different.
A diplomatic life
with David, done.
You need to put
yourself out there.
You need to date.
You need to speak for yourself.
Fair enough.
So, how was your Andrew meeting?
He was so sure he
knew what Tom wanted
that he barely
listened to my pitch.
Huh.
Kind of like senior year when
he insisted on going camping
even though you knew it was
going to rain all weekend?
Your memory is astonishing.
Oh, I know.
And yes, it was
exactly like that.
You know what I think?
You think I should stand
my creative ground, right?
No! I think you should
do whatever it takes
to get through this
job and move on.
Even if my reputation's
on the line?
Your reputation will be fine.
You are known for executing
beautiful events.
This will check that box.
They don't all have to
be ground breaking.
I don't know.
I like to look at each event
as it's own unique opportunity
to think outside the typical
black-tie, champagne box.
Hmmm. And that's why
everybody loves you so much,
because you're so passionate
about what you do.
But Jenna, with Andrew involved,
it's just, it's too much weight.
Yeah.
Maybe that's what's bugging me.
Oh, wait.
You don't still have
feelings for Andrew, do you?
No! No.
No?
Don't worry!
I'm not going to try to
rekindle anything with Andrew.
Okay.
Well, just so we're
on the same page.
Can you please remember
what Angie taught us?
Don't let your
past hold you back
from making the most
of the present.
Right. I'm going to make
the most of the present
by taking charge of my business
and getting some
new office space.
Here, here!
You know, maybe you'll
get to spend some time
with dreamy Tom Redlands, too.
I can absolutely rise above
the undeniable
chemistry with Andrew.
Angie!
What are you doing up so late?
Is everything okay?
It's about Rory.
I mean, it's nothing serious,
I just feel like
he's pulling away.
He seemed fine at
dinner the other night.
Yeah, it was a good night,
although he did
excuse himself early.
Well, that's to be expected.
Teenagers.
Who wants to listen to
some boring grown-ups.
But I'd love to hear
your take on him.
You were quite
similar at his age.
Well, I can only speak
from my own experience.
I was what, 13 when
you took me in?
At that point I'd been on my
own for so long I didn't really
understand what it meant
to be taken care of.
Hmm.
My heart hurts when I
think about that time.
Your mom was so sick.
She couldn't take care of
herself, let alone you.
You had the weight of the
world on your shoulders.
Rory's the same right now.
But you saved me, Angie.
You showed me what it
meant to feel safe.
And you're doing the same
thing for him right now.
My words don't seem
to be reaching him.
Look at me now.
Look at all of us.
You have so much
experience with teenagers.
Yeah, kids take time to trust
again after they've been
bounced around from foster
home to foster home.
But still, this feels different.
How so?
It's hard to explain.
He's just got this
look in his eyes.
Like he's so completely lost.
I think he's pushed his
emotions so far down,
he doesn't even get angry.
Is there a chance you felt
this way about all of us
at some point?
Yes.
I worried about
every one of you.
I still do.
Well then, look how your
instincts helped us.
Take your own advice
and trust your gut.
Thanks.
I think I just
needed to hear that.
We all felt lost in
one way or another.
You showed us we mattered.
Sunday Suppers are going to help
him feel part of the family too.
Okay. I'll keep the faith.
I'm grateful for this chat.
Thank you
Anytime.
So, how are things with Andrew?
Good. So far so good.
We present to Tom
Redlands tomorrow.
You'll wow him
like you always do.
I hope so.
Good night, Jenna.
Good night.
Three, two, one...
Great!
Now let's move on to leg press.
Up you get.
You haven't even told
me what you think yet?
About your leg press?
No, about Jenna.
Your ex. From high school.
Right.
Do you want my honest opinion?
Unless I'm going to regret it.
Here's what I think.
Women don't want
blue-box boyfriends.
What are you talking about?
Everyone likes a well-connected
man in this town.
Not blue blood. Blue-box.
As in recycled.
Which is for bottles
and cans, not love.
Come on. It's a positive.
We already know each other.
High school drama
should stay in the past.
Look, nothing good has
ever come from trying
to reignite an old flame.
You'll just get burned.
I got to take this. Sorry.
I'll go refill your water.
Hello, Mother. How're you doing?
Andrew! Oh, I'm fine.
I'm so glad you picked up.
Everything okay at the house?
Oh yes. Fine, fine.
Don't worry about me.
I do though.
You're all alone in
that big house now.
I can take care of myself.
Today I am thinking about you.
Uh oh.
Oh no.
It's not an uh oh.
Last night I saw Senator
Davis and his wife
at the Blue Water Club.
Oh, I love their linguine.
Did you get the linguine?
No, dear.
I had the salad.
But my point is,
their daughter Bailey is
interested in meeting you.
Ah, whose daughter?
Senator Davis and his wife!
Pay attention, Andrew.
Right, sorry.
Listen Mom, I love that you're
playing matchmaker for me, but
I'm pretty happy with the
company I'm currently keeping.
Wait! You've met someone? Who?
It's way too early for
mother introductions,
but I promise I'll tell
you when the time is right.
What will I say to the Senator?
Just tell him it's bad timing.
Okay, I got to go.
I love you. Bye.
What girl?
You said leg press, right?
Yeah.
- I'm ready, I'm ready.
- Okay.
Let's do some leg press.
Let's do this!
Oat milk latte.
How did you know?
Your assistant is a very
well informed individual.
Ah. Terry.
I should have guessed.
- Cheers.
- Cheers.
Shall we?
Do you want to go
over the presentation
before Tom gets here?
Ah, no.
It's pretty straightforward.
I'll take the lead.
I've got a couple of slides.
Okay, let's give
Tom what he wants!
God, this is such a trip,
us working together.
You know, last night I couldn't
help but think about old times.
Me too.
I found our old prom photos.
No way.
Will you send me
one of those please?
Uh huh.
I haven't thought about that
time in my life in years.
I know.
And look at us now.
You're not nervous, are you?
I mean, I know
Tom's a big deal...
No, I'm not nervous.
You're the one who
should be nervous.
Hmmm.
Do you remember that time we
jumped off the rope swing
into June Lake?
Yes, and I almost didn't do it.
Do you remember what I
told you when you were
scared and nervous then?
I'm terrified of heights!
Of course I was scared
and nervous then.
There were little kids doing it.
It was not that high.
It was high.
Well, I'll never forget
the look on your face.
You like seeing me scared?
That's concerning, Drew.
I'm talking about the
smile you had on your face
right after you did it and
wanted to do it again.
You overcoming your fear
after taking that leap,
you were glowing.
I knew then that you could do
anything you set your mind to.
You said "I'll be right
beside you, no matter what".
And that's all it took.
Apparently.
We were good
together, weren't we?
I know things got complicated
when we went off to college but
while it lasted,
we were good. Right?
Complicated?
That's how you saw it?
Well, how did you see it?
I don't know if we
have time for that.
Oh, Tom's here.
On the roof.
On the roof?
Yeah, you'll see.
Wow!
Andrew, good to see you!
Tom, great to see you.
Thanks for coming.
How was the ride in?
Choppy, choppy!
Very choppy.
This is Jenna Whitaker of
Thistlebird Marketing.
Hello.
Good to meet you.
You too.
- Ah, shall we?
- Yes, of course.
And then, crystal
champagne flutes in hand,
our guests walk out
into the courtyard where
a trio of classical
musicians serenade the party.
Classic, classy, perfection.
So, what do you think?
We are going to give
your high end donors
the experience they deserve.
As you requested.
Yeah, but also no.
I think I'm feeling
something else.
Not a problem,
it's not a problem.
We, Jenna and I can
rethink this today and
give you a different
presentation tomorrow.
I'm sorry Andrew,
but I feel like if this
is the best you got,
maybe I need to
cast a wider net.
Wait, no!
I have an unconventional idea.
If you have a few minutes?
By all means. Hit me up.
Okay, so the concept is
All For Family Experience.
We mock up the actual
center to host an experience
to show off what the
families will be getting.
Our guests will get to mingle
with the clients of the services
and become familiar with
the impact that nonprofit
has on these families.
And be inspired by their
spirit in real time.
Tangible, meaningful,
personal experience.
Our goal is to show
investors how beneficial
their donation dollars will
truly be to these families
in an interactive way.
Stop!
This is the exact concept and
tone that I was looking for.
It's interactive,
it's meaningful.
These are the kind of people
who really want to know
where their money
is going. Right?
So they get values with value.
And bonus, I don't have to do
a hard pitch all night long
because the concept is right
in front of their faces.
You, you nailed it.
Just one question.
Anything.
Can you execute
this in ten days?
Well, it depends.
How fast can you
get me approvals?
Is that your way of asking
me not to drag my feet?
I have a schedule of approval
dates if that helps.
Shall I send them
to your office?
Absolutely. Let's start
a work share protocol.
Perfect.
Andrew, my guy, I'm sorry,
she's got to take
the lead on this.
Understood.
Yeah, of course.
Really, really nice
to meet you, Jenna.
You as well.
All right guys. Wheels up.
Way to roll with Tom's
change of direction there.
- Bravo.
- Thanks.
That's why I'm the best.
Yeah, clearly.
Do you want to come with
me to the first location?
You have a location
scout lined up already?
I'm always hopeful!
Wow, you are the best.
That meeting reminded me of our
AP History report
in twelfth grade.
Do you remember that.
Oh!
Yeah. You were like a
deer caught in the headlights.
Yeah.
But you prompted me
and we got through it.
And we both got an A.
That's right.
Yeah, you were good at
PR even then, you know.
Except for that mean
girl who bullied me
for being a foster kid.
Oh, Ava Johnson.
She was awful. Ugh.
But remember you coached me
on what to say to her because
you had the inside
scoop on her family.
That's right I had the dirt!
Uh huh.
You know, if you think about it,
that was my first
consulting gig.
Yeah, this place is great.
I love it.
Nice and big.
It's very accessible.
Great job.
Yeah, this could work.
What if it rains, though?
What?
Why are you looking
at me like that?
I need to apologize to you.
What for?
I should've paid better
attention to your idea.
I don't know why Tom changed his
mind like that, but regardless,
I still haven't learned
to be a good listener,
and I just got in your way.
I'm so sorry.
Well, listening has never
been a strong suit of yours.
But that's in the past.
You don't have to
change for me, Drew.
No, Jenna, I really need
you to hear me on this.
I really appreciate what
you bring to the table.
You are very good at this.
Oh. Thank you.
Can I ask you something?
Of course.
Why did you ghost me
after high school?
Oh. I, uh...
I mean, that was a very
different time in our lives.
And it was weird for
a lot of reasons.
Weird, like,
did you feel weird hanging out
with me and my foster family?
What? No!
You can tell me.
I'm not ashamed of my past.
It made me who I am.
Look, Jenna, all I ever saw
was a close-knit family
that loved each other.
Unlike my family that
barely spoke to one another.
Your family was loud and fun.
And mine was way too quiet.
I guess I didn't really
know your family.
Well, let's just say that my
upbringing didn't exactly set me
on a path for solid
relationships in life.
I certainly didn't want
the distant coldness
of my parents' marriage.
You know, my trainer has been
the most constant person
in my life for years.
It's ridiculous.
You just don't get it, do you?
I would have been a
constant in your life.
Well then!
I think this all makes sense.
If it's outdoors, we'll
think about floor details.
If it's indoors, we'll talk
about signage lighting.
Just let me know whatever
venue gets approved.
I'm on standby to
re-render the model.
Thank you.
And did I tell you how
much you wowed the client
with your presentation?
I love to hear that!
You're fantastic.
And I can't thank you
enough for working so late.
Two words: Double time.
Just make sure you
start later tomorrow.
I'll talk to you later!
Hello?
Jenna!
Hey, I'm looking at
your venue options here.
Great! What did you think?
Well, outdoors would be nice.
I'm not sure the weather
will cooperate though.
Right now it says there's a 40
percent chance of rain that day.
It is a risk.
And I don't love the
conference center.
It feels a bit cold to me.
Okay. So the first venue?
If you think it will work.
Oh, it definitely will.
I especially like that it's
in a residential neighborhood.
It really adds to the
helping families feel.
Not so institutional.
Yeah. Exactly!
So we're on the same page.
Same page. I love it.
Was that approval
fast enough for you?
I mean, you can't
beat the same day!
Great.
Um... I was also wondering
if you might be available
Friday night for
a little sit-down?
Friday night?
Yeah, yeah.
I wanted to kind of go over
some more details with you.
Oh, I can just go through your
office if your time is an issue.
No, no. Let's do it in person.
Oh! Ah, yeah.
Friday night sounds...
sounds good.
Should I meet you somewhere?
Tell you what. Why don't I
send a car for you at 6 p.m.
The helicopter isn't available?
Ha ha. It's cute.
Ah, so, 6 p.m. works then?
Sounds good.
I'll bring my laptop.
Great.
Tom Redlands is
sending a car for me
on Friday night.
He says it's to talk
about the fundraiser.
Is that weird?
What? Your new boss?
Technically my
client. But Andrew's boss!
A date?
Where's he taking you?
No idea.
And it's not a date.
You're not obligated to say yes.
Spoken like
a protective brother.
It has to be somewhere fancy.
So he didn't call it a date?
No, he said he
wants to discuss details.
That's a line.
- Crazy! So fun!
- You're going.
I think he won some wine awards.
He collects the good stuff.
What are you going to wear?
Yes!
What do you wear
on a private jet?
Hey, to new friends.
To new friends.
Umm, that is fantastic!
So, Jenna Whitaker.
Who is she?
Tell me everything.
Well, I went to
school in Chicago,
and then I moved back right back
to DC after I got my degree.
It's always been home.
Okay. What about your parents?
Well, I never knew my father,
my mom raised me on her own.
And it was a bit
tough, at times.
I had humble beginnings
you could say.
Well, she must be very
proud of you now.
I'm sure she would be.
But she passed
away when I was 13.
Oh. I'm really
sorry to hear that.
It's tough. Especially at 13,
you're so young.
I thought I was an
adult at the time,
taking care of her
when she got sick.
And looking back now
I realize that I was
probably too young
for that role.
And it's not what she
would have wanted.
We just didn't have the money.
Hm. And then what happened?
Did you go to live with family?
Actually, I fell
into a foster family.
A woman named Angie took me in,
and there were
other kids like me.
We've all remained quite close.
Oh cool. She sounds phenomenal.
It's like a chosen family.
That's a good way to put it.
It's actually when
I knew Andrew.
We were high school
sweethearts, I guess.
Wow.
Ah, so what about you?
What got you interested in tech?
Well, that wasn't
the plan, really.
I was in med school, I
was going to be a doctor.
My parents were very
adamant about that.
So when I started
doing medical school,
I just kept focusing on
the tools and the equipment.
So the other students would be
trying to diagnose a patient,
and I'd be looking at the
stethoscope wondering,
how could I make that better.
Wow.
That's a lot to stumble into.
Yeah, no, it really is.
But lately I've been trying to
get back to my roots, you know,
and really reconnect
with the people.
How I can help, how can I serve?
It's not just about
making money, you know.
That's admirable.
Oh. It's Andrew.
Andrew?
Hey Andrew.
I'm just having dinner
with Jenna over here.
Jenna?
Hey!
Hey, Jenna.
Looks like you're having fun.
Yeah, Tom invited me to his
private winery and we're just
going over details for the gala.
I see.
Hey, so what's going on, man?
Ah, the numbers report.
I've got the full analysis
whenever you're ready,
which is obviously
not right now.
Yeah. Can it
wait until Monday?
Sure, yeah.
Why am I working on a
Friday night anyway, right?
Right. Okay.
Have a good weekend.
Yeah, you to...
Sorry about that.
Hey, John boy.
How're you doing?
Um, listen.
I need a real estate favor.
Yes, the password is,
you are the bigger, better,
faster, stronger brother.
It was awkward.
I felt so bad.
Why? You don't
owe Andrew anything!
I know. But that's
not the point.
No, that is the point!
Forget about Andrew.
Why don't you tell me about Tom.
Tom's nice.
He's surprisingly humble.
I really admire him.
Admire him?
You mean, admire him?
Really, Shari?
I just want to make
sure that you are not
setting yourself up for
heartbreak with Andrew again.
Focus on someone new like,
I don't know,
Tom, the cute billionaire!
You've never even met Tom!
Please.
He's all over the internet.
You searched him?
Of course I searched him!
I'll admit it.
Tom's pretty great.
He's fun...
I just don't know yet.
You know that he's
driven, he's successful
and he cares about people.
What else is there to know?
Good night, Shari.
And he's cute and a...
Well, she can give
me the billionaire.
Dude.
Dude, slow down.
You're going to tear a bicep!
I can't believe they
went to his vineyard.
Who?
Jenna and Tom, man.
Oh, your ex.
Wait, isn't Tom your client?
Yes!
So it's not like I can be like,
Hey boss, do you mind
like not dating my ex?
Yeah, you can't say that.
Unless I want to
risk getting fired.
Do you?
I don't know!
I can't believe
this is happening.
This is so weird.
Wow, this girl must have
really done a number on you,
when she dumped you.
She didn't dump me.
Wait, I thought
you two broke up?
We did.
But it was me, stupidly.
You dumped her?
So then why do you want
to get back with her?
That doesn't make any sense.
It's complicated.
It's complicated...
It's really complicated.
I like it.
What do you think?
It's good.
You sure? You didn't
even look at it.
Yep. It's great.
Okay. Let me just...
See what Tom thinks.
It'll just be a second.
He usually responds
pretty quick.
So are you up for tasting
some catering later?
Sure, yep.
Whatever you need.
I'm just here to represent Tom
and make sure the job gets done.
You're acting super weird.
Am I?
I don't think I am.
Is this about last night?
No! Absolutely not.
You are free to taste wines
with whomever you please.
It is none of my business.
Yes.
Yes, I am.
But for what it's worth,
I did feel a little odd about
going to his vineyard on a whim.
Billionaires, right?
Right. Totally.
Billionaires.
Andrew, are you okay?
Fine. Fine.
Well, the place was amazing.
But to be honest,
after the first glass,
they all started to
taste the same to me.
Was it one of his
special reserve labels?
How did you know?
Tom loves that stuff.
I was starving only tasting
food that cleansed the palette.
So, ah...
He didn't try any,
like, date moves on you?
No. No not at all.
It was strictly professional.
Cool. Cool cool.
It was nice to go
somewhere new, though.
Do you remember that
trip to Chesapeake?
Ha! Yeah.
You'd never tried a lobster roll
before and then all of a sudden
it was your new favorite thing.
Mmm...
White bread roll with
the lemon and the mayo...
Stop it.
You're making me hungry.
Well, speaking of, do you
have dinner plans on Sunday?
Sunday is my pizza night.
Wow, that sounded
so sad bachelor.
Well, do you think you could
reschedule your pizza night
and come for Sunday Supper?
Kiki's making seafood.
Are you sure?
Of course. Why not?
Shari.
Because really the answer
to that question is, Shari.
Well, you've got
nothing to worry about.
Yeah, I don't believe you.
She...
Likes you.
They know I'm coming, right?
Yes!
You don't have to be so nervous.
I don't?
No!
Okay. How's my hair?
Is it okay?
Your hair's great.
We're not in high
school anymore.
No one's going to judge
you for your past. Okay?
I think you're wrong.
Ah, well, look who it is.
Heartbreaker from
sophomore year.
What?
Nice to see you too, Shari.
I just finished saying that no
one would be judgmental here.
Andrew!
Hey, buddy.
Hello. Nice to see you.
- Hey...
- Come on in.
Be nice.
Uh huh...
Excuse me. Thanks.
Nice, nice. Nice.
Kiki, you remember Andrew.
Oh, no, I don't
actually remember you.
I was pretty young at the time.
But Jenna did tell me she
listened to your mixed playlist
over and over.
Over and over, you say.
Over and over. Yeah...
Hmmm. Well that's okay.
I do remember you.
You were always
singing and dancing.
You were this positive
ray of sunshine.
Nice to see you again.
Thank you.
I just, I've always thought,
just, you know,
don't let the system
get you down and
I met some great people.
Even those two.
And, well, Angie,
she's real family.
Oh Andrew!
Oh, I'm so glad you made it.
There's always
room at our table.
Thank you, Angie.
I got you this.
Oh, thank you!
It'll be perfect
for my side garden.
Yeah, well, I know you'd much
rather watch a plant grow
than watch cut flowers wilt.
Oh, you have a very good memory.
So, how's life treating you?
It's good, thank you! Yeah.
It's really nice
to be back here.
A lot of memories.
Aw...
I followed your trip
to Africa last year,
what an experience,
quite a journey.
It sure was.
Yeah, yeah.
What journey is this?
Oh, I was volunteering with
a clean water initiative.
We were drilling wells and
installing irrigation systems
in communities with no water.
And you knew about this?
Why didn't you tell me?
Oh, I don't know.
I guess it just didn't come up.
She just didn't want to
remind you that he exists.
No offense.
Okay, I think these are done.
These are done.
Okay. Okay.
So, um,
why don't you tell me how your
job with Tom Redlands is going?
Oh, it's going well, thanks.
Thanks to Jenna.
Actually, Tom loves her plan
and hates mine, but, ah,
it's all good.
We're on track to
finish on time.
Ah, hmmm.
Rory! Come meet Andrew.
Andrew this is Rory,
Rory this is Andrew.
Nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you too.
Nice handshake on you.
Play any sports?
Um, no.
Ah, yeah.
I'm trying to get Rory
to join track and field.
He can sprint like
nobody's business.
In the back yard.
That doesn't count.
What are you talking about?
Back yard totally counts.
You've already broken
three speed records.
Two of them held by Angie.
Well, I don't really know
anyone in track, so...
Well, track is a great
way to meet people.
Even though it may not seem
like it because it looks like
everyone is running
away from you.
But trust me.
Running away?
Interesting choice of words.
Ah, Rory could you go,
put these on the table.
Thanks, pal.
So, dinner is almost ready,
so I hope you're hungry.
- Starving.
- Famished.
This looks so fresh.
It looks delicious.
Ah, did you used to live here?
We're sorry, Rory.
That was very rude of us.
We're laughing
because Andrew is...
From a wealthy family...
Not a foster kid...
Oh, well.
I'd like to be rich one day.
Oh, ah, well, if that's
a priority for you,
I'm sure you can
make that happen.
Just don't be a heartbreaker.
Shari! Andrew is our guest.
It's not like everyone at this
table doesn't already know.
Oh, this is the guy who
didn't like you back?
Uh huh. That's the one.
Is that what she told you?
Okay, maybe that's enough
of a history lesson for now.
She cried for an entire month.
Okay! Can we change
the topic please?
No.
I think I do owe you
all an explanation.
Maybe not in this tough crowd.
I don't know, I think
I'd like to hear it.
I think I would
like to hear it too.
- Can we not?
- No, Jen, it's okay.
Really.
Um, I'd like to clear
the air, in fact.
Okay, um, well back then I was
under a lot of pressure to get
into college and my mother was
very set on me going to Paris,
to the NYU campus there.
But I really wanted to stay
here in DC with you, Jenna.
You never told me that.
Well, I knew that you were
between going to school here and
in Chicago, so I was
just waiting to see
what happened there.
And trying to figure
out what to do.
But my mother felt very
strongly that I was
way too young to be getting
so involved with a girl.
So when you got accepted to
Chicago, I thought that was it.
She got her wish
and we broke up.
So that's what happened?
Yeah.
It was all because
of your mother?
Yeah.
So you didn't want
to break up with her?
Me? No.
Jenna's the love of my life.
I mean, was the love of my
life when I was a teenager.
In high school.
Not anymore though.
No. No no no no.
Definitely not.
But anyway, that's
what happened.
Should we eat?
Let's eat!
Pass the salmon.
Oh boy.
Hey, thank you for
welcoming me in today.
Shari came on a
little strong there.
I'm not sure I'm going to
make it out here alive.
Don't worry about Shari.
She's super protective
of Jenna, but,
come on, we were
just kids, right.
Yeah. Yeah.
Hey, can I ask you something?
Sure.
Why didn't you just tell
Jenna your mom was, you know,
pressuring you to
break up with her?
How would that have
made things better?
Hmm.
I mean, it couldn't
have made things worse.
Yeah.
I don't know, like you
said, we were kids.
I didn't know what I was doing.
I just thought, four years away
at college, that's a long time.
I didn't want to prevent her
from meeting someone else.
What about now?
Now?
What about now?
Now I need to earn her love.
Yeah, well, for what it's worth?
I'm Team Andrew.
Thanks buddy.
Well, say good night
to Rory for us.
Yeah, he seems like
a really good kid.
I'm trying to make him
feel like he belongs.
Anyway, love you.
Drive carefully.
- Good night.
- We will.
Oh wait. I forgot my keys
I'll go back in.
It's okay. I got it.
It was so sweet the way
Andrew said he was in love.
I don't think Jenna
was expecting that.
It was sweet,
but let's get real.
He could break her
heart all over again.
But he did love
her though, right?
Not enough to stay with her.
He and his family always thought
that they were
better than we were.
His future was more
important than hers.
He will never help her
reach for the stars.
Right. Then she should
keep her options open.
She likes Tom too so
why not explore that?
That's what I say.
Ah ha.
John boy, it's me.
What do you got for me?
Yeah, okay.
Okay, I love the space but it's
a little far from downtown.
Do you have anything
in a better location?
Okay.
Oh yes! Jenna would
love this place
Okay, do me a favor
and bookmark this one
and find me a few other options.
Here you go.
Thank you.
What's next?
I was wondering if you'd
call the animal shelter.
They're keen to hook us up
with some pups if we agree
to advertise their
adoption services.
No way. That's cute.
Great idea.
I love dogs.
You remember Quiggly?
Oh yes.
How could I forget the dog that
chewed my shoes not just once
but twice.
It's his love language.
Yeah, you know, he played all
innocent, but he knew exactly
what he was doing when he locked
that sliding door shut on me.
I was surprised you were still
waiting there when we got home.
Well, I wasn't going to
miss a chance to see you.
Hey!
Look at this lovely
young lady I found!
Oh you! I bet you say
that to all the girls.
Mom! Hi!
Hi sweetheart.
What are you doing here?
Well, I'm meeting with Tom!
He asked me to drop by.
Oh.
Well, ah, you remember Jenna?
- Oh, hello.
- Hi.
Should I?
Mom! Jenna!
Oh, forgive me.
I'm not sure I do.
Jenna Whitaker.
Andrew and I knew each
other when we were kids.
Of course. Jenna Whitaker.
It's so nice to see you
after all these years.
You too, Mrs. Clarington.
Oh please, dear.
Call me Margaret.
This is your doing?
Ah, yup. Thistlebird Marketing.
That's me.
Wonderful!
You know, Tom and I
were just talking about
doing a spin off event.
Maybe I could use your help.
What's it for?
Well, I'm chair of the
Children's Hospital
and we are going to be
doing a huge fundraiser.
Wow, that sounds great.
I'd love to be a part of it.
- Excellent.
- Great.
And I'll see you tomorrow?
Oh, you absolutely will.
Good.
Excuse me, I should take this.
Yeah.
Oh, of course. I'm sorry.
I know you're all working.
Bye darling.
Bye Mother.
Love you.
Love you!
What?
Are you sure he didn't
just stay late at school
or something?
He's not at school.
Kiki's calling around
to local places.
We're going to
drive around next.
Although maybe I
should stay here.
I mean, what if
he does come home?
Okay, I'll be on my way.
No, Jenna, I don't want to
pull you away from work.
I just wanted to let you
know in case he calls you.
Don't be ridiculous.
We'll find him.
I'll be right there.
What's going on?
Rory's missing.
What?
He didn't come home from school.
Oh no, Jenna. Well,
I'll help you look.
Sorry. Who's Rory?
He's kind of like
my little brother.
Oh! Oh, okay, Jenna,
hang on a second.
Let me get my head
of security on this.
He actually specializes
in missing persons.
- Thank you, Tom.
- Yeah yeah.
All right, let's go.
We'll take my car?
Yeah, okay.
Thank you.
Has Kiki left?
She's checking the school area.
Josh is meeting her there.
Okay. This is Tom's head
of security, Arthur.
He's offered to help us search.
Ma'am, do you mind if I
ask you a few questions?
Sure.
I usually see the signs if
a child is going to run.
I must have missed the cues.
They're usually just
showing their independence
but happy to come home.
This isn't your fault.
Heading south on Main.
Please state your
location. Over.
How do you work this thing?
Just press that button.
We're on Duluth Avenue
heading...
- North.
- North. Over.
Split up to cover more ground.
Pick a meeting spot. Over.
Copy that. Over.
Okay, so I'll stay here,
you go to the street over.
Yeah, we'll both head north and
meet on the next boulevard.
Okay.
He's going to be okay.
I hope so.
He just needs a reminder
of how much people care.
That's the problem, Drew.
No one ever has.
Okay, we're at ten blocks now.
Do you think we should switch
it up and go somewhere else?
Over.
Yeah,
let's make it fifteen. Over.
Oh thank goodness.
We found him.
He's at a bus stop at
Duluth and Parsons. Over.
Over.
Hey, Rory.
What's up?
How did you find me?
Huh! Well, with three adults
and one security guard,
we were bound to find
you sooner or later.
Yeah.
Don't worry.
You're not in trouble.
So what's going on?
Nothing.
Okay.
I ran away once
when I was a kid,
and there was
definitely a reason,
so I'm going to take
a guess and say that
maybe you have one too?
Don't worry.
You definitely don't
have to tell me.
But for whatever it's worth,
I'm a very good listener.
I got a bad mark.
Oh!
Like, on an assignment?
It was an oral presentation.
I hate those.
And I was really terrible.
I just froze.
Hmm.
And you're afraid
Angie's going to be mad?
I'm not going back
to the group home.
Of course not.
Why would you think that?
My friend Ethan was
at a foster home too.
But they sent him back
because he got bad grades.
They said he caused
too much trouble.
Rory, listen to me.
Angie's not going to do that.
How do you know?
Because those people were wrong.
No kid is too much trouble.
And I know because
I was like you.
I was actually at a bus
stop just like this
when Angie found me.
Eighteen years ago this
spring, as a matter of fact.
My mom was gone and I didn't
have any family left.
So I went to this bus stop
to at least feel like
I was going somewhere, you know?
Just so I could take a second
and figure out my next move.
And then Angie came up
and asked if I was okay.
She saw me on the way
to the grocery store,
and when she was on her
way back I was still there.
She knew something was wrong.
Did you ever fail a test?
Yes. I certainly did.
You know, sometimes when I
was thinking about my mom
and how sick she was,
it felt impossible to
concentrate on school work.
And did she die?
She did.
But one of the things
Angie taught me
was that it's okay to be a kid.
And you don't have
to be perfect.
So what do you say?
Do you think maybe
we could go home now?
I'm sure Angie would really
like to know you're okay, Rory.
You sure took the
long way home today.
I'm sorry I made you worry.
Worry is my middle name.
Happy ending, I'm glad.
Thank you, so much.
Thank you.
You know you are safe with me.
Whatever is going on I want
you to know you can tell me.
I failed an oral
history presentation.
Oh. Okay.
Are you mad?
Well, a little.
At your teacher, for not
letting me know that
you're having
trouble in his class.
You know, we could
call Mr. Wheeler
and see if he can give you
a chance to make it up?
Really?
You can get me a second chance?
Of course.
Everyone deserves a do over.
I've had so many,
I have lost count.
Well, I mean, in that case, I
would really like a do over.
Maybe you could
help me practice?
Yes, I'll help you practice.
Go upstairs and wash up.
I'll tell you when
dinner's ready.
Thank you, for bringing me back.
Anytime.
For bringing me back home.
What Rory said. Thank you
And thank you.
Oh, you are a good egg
for coming out to help.
It was my pleasure.
And I was told there was dinner.
There is always
room at our table.
You two are going
to stay for dinner?
Actually my phone tells
me I have a meeting
at Corner Port Cafe.
All right. Well Andrew,
you are more than welcome
to stay for dinner.
I'm afraid I'm Jenna's ride.
Sadly.
Okay. Next time, guys.
Would you mind dropping
me off at home?
I have to change for
this, ah, for, ah...
For Tom?
What's wrong?
Yeah. Sure.
Wow!
You look beautiful.
Thank you.
And thanks for the heads
up on the dress code.
Oh, yeah, no, of course.
Um, I like surprises and all,
but I learned the hard way.
There's a fine line between
surprises and embarrassment.
So you do this often I take it?
No. Not really.
Hmmm.
So what are we
toasting this time?
How about to a fabulous
event on Saturday night
that I know is going to be
flawless with you at the helm.
Here's hoping.
Tom, I have to ask.
This doesn't really feel
like a business meeting.
I know.
You hate this place, right?
I love it.
I just, I'm not sure
if your intention
is to talk about business.
Busted.
Do you want to dance with me?
Dance?
Yeah you know, like a
throwback kind of style.
Okay. Sure.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
Come on.
I'm actually a terrific dancer.
- Are you?
- Yeah, yeah.
Not a lot of people know
that, but it's true.
That's a fun fact.
Yeah, it is.
Jenna, I know that we've been
working together professionally,
and I don't want to do
anything to jeopardize that.
But?
But I'm just, I'm honestly
really captivated by you.
I'm looking for someone to
spend the rest of my life with.
Oh wow.
Look, I know, it's a lot, okay.
Maybe you need a
second to figure out
how you feel about me.
That's fine but all
I'm asking for is
would you give me a chance?
Ah...
Tom, I'm incredibly flattered.
Good.
Um, and I really like you too.
I, I think you're a wonderfully
generous, interesting man.
Why do I feel like there's
a but coming my way now?
I just need some time.
Umm...
I actually need to
go talk with someone.
I'm so sorry.
Andrew!
Hi.
Is everything okay?
What are you doing here?
Oh yeah, definitely. Um...
Oh, hang on. Hey Tom!
Yeah, I just got home.
Oh, great, thanks.
I'm so happy to see you.
Yeah, um...
Listen, I have something
I need to say to you.
Me too.
Okay, mind if I go first?
Sure.
Okay.
I know I broke your heart
all those years ago,
and I'm so sorry
about that Jenna.
We were just kids.
You don't have to say that.
No, I do. I really do.
And I thought that this job,
bring us back together,
was like a sign.
And I...
Two seconds.
I'll be right back.
Well, I guess I've
been lying to myself.
Okay.
Andrew.
Good talk!
This is where it
really opens up.
Oh, wow.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- Good job.
- I know, hey.
Whoa! Jenna!
I'd like you to
meet Marsha Cutler.
She just very generously
pledged to the cause.
Oh what a fun notion to let
us in on the inner workings
of this organization.
It's so inspiring.
I'm so glad to hear
you're enjoying it.
I am.
Now if you'll excuse me,
I hear some great things
about Tom's wines.
Thanks again for your support.
Oh, my pleasure.
So, where is he?
Who?
Well, the guy that you
left me to go talk to.
Oh, right.
Um, you know, that didn't
end up working out.
Ah, he's a fool.
Oh Andrew!
Just the man I was looking for.
Can I talk to you
for a quick sec?
Yeah. Yeah, of course.
You don't mind?
No.
- Excuse us.
- Yeah.
Okay, listen, I've got
to tell you some stuff.
Things are going tremendously.
Angie!
Oh hi sweetie!
The place looks wonderful.
I know, right?
How's Rory?
Training with Josh.
Hundred yard sprint.
There's a big meet tomorrow.
He hides it well, but
the kid's got drive.
I think he's going to nail it.
Hey Jenna!
I got to go check
on some things.
I'll see you in a bit.
- Okay!
- Okay.
People are really
responding to this cause.
We've already raised
enough money to fully fund
the DC location, as well as
roll out in a few other cities.
Tom, that's, that's fantastic.
You're going to
make a difference
in a lot of people's lives.
Congratulations man.
Congratulations to you!
You helped me build this
thing from the ground up.
Let me ask you something.
Are you ready to head up
the national roll out
for All For Family?
Oh, ah, right. Um...
Yeah...
Let me think about that.
Think about it?
I thought this is
what you wanted.
It is.
It is what I want.
Ah, yeah, it is!
Um, I just, I need a
little bit more time.
Is that okay?
Of course.
Okay.
Ah, thank you.
Thank you.
You're Andrew's
mother, Margaret?
Yes I am!
And you look so familiar.
I'm Angie Hartman, Jenna
Whitaker's foster mom.
We met a few times at the PTA
when the kids were
in high school.
You organized the bake sales!
I hope you still make
that banana bread.
Jenna and Andrew did such
a great job of this event.
Between us, I think they're
both a little afraid
to admit that they're
falling in love again.
You don't say?
I've been trying to
fix Andrew up with
a gorgeous, talented
woman for years!
She is that.
You're a smart woman, Angie.
You have to join us for
Sunday Supper, Margaret.
That would be lovely.
Well, each week I gather my
Hearts together and we support
each other through whatever
life is going to throw at us.
And so you'll join.
Count me in.
Great.
Hello everyone! Hi.
Thank you.
Thank you so much.
It's a good looking
crowd you've got here.
Listen, I want to thank
you all for coming out
and participating in
this very unique gala.
All For Family,
all that they do.
You guys got to check
out their services.
It's phenomenal stuff.
I want to do a special
shout out to Jenna Whitaker.
Hey Jenna.
And to Andrew
Clarington, as well.
For putting this
whole thing together.
Thank you guys.
Amazing.
You know, folks, I grew up
in a pretty modest household.
My parents were proud people.
They didn't want to take any
handouts, but there were some
times where we had to rely on
food banks, and charity shops.
You know, I always
appreciated people who
found ways to help out.
People who said, hey, you know,
I have more than I need,
why don't you take
this bag of groceries,
or a small grant to help you
with this month's bills.
You should think,
people who are in need
really want the chance to
get back on their feet.
But it's hard, when the
power's about to be shut off,
when your kids are
hungry at home.
That's what All For
Family is all about.
Just giving people a chance,
to connect, to feel that
sense of belonging.
But also that sense
of pride and dignity.
So let's all help the families
all across America to connect.
You didn't tell me you were
getting back
together with Jenna?
I'm not.
She's in love with Tom.
Are you sure about that?
There's no ring on her finger.
And since when do you
give up so easily?
You're a Clarington!
We fight for what we want.
I can't make her love me, Mom.
Let me remind you that your
very reserved grandfather
won your grandmother's
heart when he told her
exactly how he felt.
Have you actually told
Jenna how you feel?
If she doesn't know,
she doesn't know!
You're right.
You're right!
Thank you, Mom!
Oh hey.
Where'd you go?
It doesn't matter
where I've been,
it matters where we are going.
Okay, um, I wanted
to show you this.
It's a yearbook.
Yeah, from our graduating year.
And, ah, this is what I
wanted to write to you then
but I was too young
to realize it.
"Ever mine no
matter how far or long apart.
"I will always hold you
so close in mind and heart."
I wasn't ready then, Jenna.
But I am now.
So what now?
I love you, a lot.
And I wanted this yearbook post
to remind us of our best years,
but then tonight I realized that
our best years are yet to come.
Real estate listings?
Right, yeah. I hope that's okay.
My brother and I
found those for you
because you never seem to
take the time for yourself.
You listened!
Yeah.
You do still love me.
I never stopped loving you.
Even when you thought
Tom was coming over
but it's just his driver
dropping off my purse?
Oh, he was just
dropping off your purse?
Yeah, I forgot it when I
ran out of the restaurant
to look for you.
Oh, I'm sorry I jumped
to conclusions there.
Apology accepted.
I never want to lose
you again, Jenna.
I think I can execute that plan.
- Hi.
- Hi.
- You almost ready?
- Yup!
Let's go.
Great because I am starving.
Are you?
I've been dreaming about Sunday
Suppers for a long time.
Ah, just two seconds.
Hello?
Yes.
I will check on that
first thing tomorrow
when I'm back at the office.
No, sorry.
I have a policy about
not working on Sundays.
Thank you for understanding.
I'll talk to you then.
I'm so proud of you.
Thanks.
What's this?
Oh, I got Rory a laptop.
You did?
That is so sweet!
Well you know, school's
isn't just about track.
He needs to do his homework too.
Oh!
You're trying to impress
Angie, aren't you?
One hundred percent.
All right, let's go.
- Yes.
- Okay.
Jenna?
Are you still there?
What is that?
Um, that's just my
remote assistant.
Hey, Terry.
I think we're going to have
to set some new boundaries.
Wait a minute.
Are you getting a life?
You could say that.
It's about time!
Thanks.
Talk to you tomorrow!
Okay, for real this time.
- I'm impressed.
- Thanks.
This looks positively
scrumptious, Kiki.
The tomatoes ripen faster
than we can seem to eat them.
Don't get her
started on tomatoes.
Hey, Roar, what happened
with your presentation?
Did your teacher
let you do it again?
I got a B.
- That's awesome!
- Nice job!
That's great!
And you have some news, Jenna?
Yes, I finally have an office.
No way! You took that
place on K street?
Actually, we found
a place to split.
Whoa!
You guys are going
to be a power couple.
That's right.
It's wonderful.
You two are meant to be.
I'd like to think so, yeah.
I am just so thrilled we're
all sitting here together.
You are all my dear Hearts.
And I love you.
And I'm hopeful we can keep this
tradition going, no matter what.
Cheers!
No matter what!
If a client wants me to
work Sunday, I work Sunday!
Even event gurus need
a day off, Jenna!
Well the meeting's
with a tech icon
who is famous for working 24/7.
Oh, who is it?
Oh, let me guess. You're
under one of those NBAs?
I think you mean NDA.
You've been out of
the country too long.
And no.
He's been very open
source with everything
to do with his company.
It's billionaire Tom Redlands.
Oh, wow.
He's kind of a big deal.
Tom Redlands!
Exactly. And he's
starting a new nonprofit.
So I really need to
nail this account.
Well just nail it quickly.
Don't let him keep you too long.
Healthy boundaries, Jenna.
You know I'm working on that.
And Sunday Supper is on.
Kiki is making your favorite!
Tex-Mex, Jenna!
Yumm.
Just smile a lot and agree with
him but let him know you have
only have ten minutes to
spare because it's Sunday.
Okay, thank you, Angie.
Jenna, Jenna!
This is what you got to do.
You got to go in there,
you got to tell him you're
going to give it 110 percent
and you're going to
knock it out of the park.
That's all he wants to hear.
Salad!
Thanks Josh!
Your sports lingo is always so
helpful in a business meeting.
Doing my best for the team!
Just be yourself!
It's the best you can be.
Thanks, Angie!
And pick up chips on the way!
Don't wait for me!
But you're important.
We will wait!
We will?
Most of us will wait.
Oh!
Oh no!
So sorry.
Sorry, I wasn't looking either.
I was not watching
where I was going.
Here you go.
Andrew!
Jenna?
What are you doing here?
I thought you were in Paris.
I, I was.
But I moved home to get into
real estate with my brother,
John, and it turns out
that's not very interesting.
I started my own
consulting firm.
Wow. That sounds impressive.
What about you?
What are you up to?
You're back from Chicago?
Five years ago.
Oh wow.
Yeah, I got my degree in
marketing and design and
came back here to
put it to work.
That's great.
Yeah.
Here you go.
- Thank you.
- Sorry.
Well, it was nice
to run into you.
Literally.
Oh, sorry, I have a meeting.
Oh, no, of course. Sure, yeah.
It was good to see you.
You too.
Hello.
Hello?
I have a meeting
with Tom Redlands.
It seems he's given
me your number.
You're the event guru from
Thistlebird Marketing?
That's me.
I'm consulting with Tom's firm.
No way!
That's crazy.
What are the chances of that?
Oh, is that Tom's office?
No, it's my family.
Your foster family.
It's been so long
since I've them.
How's Shari and Josh and Angie?
I remember those dinners
you guys used to have.
What a feast.
You remember!
Yeah, you always said how
important those weekly dinners
were to you all.
Wait, it's Sunday right now.
Right?
Uh huh.
Are you still doing
Sunday Suppers?
Of course.
It's the glue that
keeps us together.
But let's do this meeting.
I can assure you, nothing gets
in the way of me and my work.
It's good to know, um,
but this can absolutely
wait until tomorrow.
Let's reschedule.
Go have dinner with your family.
Really?
Yeah.
What about Mr. 24/7?
Ahh... That's just branding.
Yum! It smells so good in here.
Ah! You made it!
Hi!
- Hey, Jen.
- Josh!
Interception!
Thank you!
Cilantro, fresh from the garden!
You look so lovely.
So professional.
A little too professional
for Sunday Supper!
Jenna! Awww!
So, how did you ditch
the billionaire?
The meeting was
rescheduled to tomorrow.
Good!
Well, see now that
just makes sense.
But still, you know the rule.
I know, last to arrive
is on dish duty.
Ah, it's a simple game.
You wash the dish, you dry the
dish, you put the dish away.
It's a game of inches!
Sports analogy and Pacino.
Okay, everybody take a seat!
Ah, needs salsa.
Salsa's almost ready.
Yeah, this is going
to be a good one.
I feel it.
Okay, enough about me.
I want to hear about
everyone else's week.
Careful what you wish for.
He's referring to my
fabulous new commission,
Cookie Sterling.
The host from "DC Today"?
- Yes.
- I love her!
Well, Shari had a little
challenge with it.
It wasn't her favorite day.
I'm painting a family
portrait with her twin boys
near this fountain
on her property.
I couldn't get those boys to
sit still for one second.
She actually tripped and
fell in the fountain.
Thank you, Angie,
I almost forgot!
Yeah, it was crazy.
Can't wait to see that painting.
Water color?
All right Coach.
Did you already give the
track meet play by play?
- No.
- Yes!
Well, I could hear
it all over again.
Oh, thank you, Angie.
I try to keep it
to the highlights.
Well, I did like the
one about that shy girl
who came first place.
That was sweet.
Oh, is that the same one who
froze at state last year?
Yeah. Yeah.
She beat all the other
schools in triple jump.
I love that!
And those kids can really
eat a lot of burgers.
Yes they can!
Kiki brought her food
truck to the meet.
I did. And they cleaned me out.
Of course they did.
So how were classes this week?
Everything add up?
Now we got the funny one here.
Yeah, it's good.
Some of the kids who are
struggling are getting more
confident, asking for
help with trigonometry,
which is great.
Asking for help is
such a beautiful skill.
Totally!
How about you, Rory?
What's new?
I don't know. Nothing.
Why don't you tell
them about school?
Okay.
I got an eight out of
10 on my math quiz.
That's awesome, buddy!
Do you like math?
I like it because
it's just numbers.
I don't have to talk to anyone.
You're going to make new
friends, you'll see.
It takes a minute to get
used to a new school.
Uh huh.
Yes it does.
I'm so excited for you, Jenna,
rubbing shoulders
with the tech elite.
Well, about that.
The meeting wasn't
actually with Tom.
He sent his consultant.
And I'll be working
with Andrew Clarington.
Wait, what?
The Andrew Clarington?
Your old Andrew Clarington?
The one and only.
Yeah, it turns out he's
Tom Redlands' liaison.
And how do you feel about that?
Do we need a refresh
on boundaries.
Yeah, exactly.
You need to talk
to Tom Redlands,
and you need to tell him that
there's a conflict of interest
and you cannot work with Andrew!
Shari, I can't do that.
That would be so unprofessional!
Ah...
Well, Rory, speak up.
You can say anything here.
Who's Andrew?
Hmm. How to explain Andrew?
He's her ex.
He's a heartbreaker.
He's just someone that I really,
really liked in high school
who apparently
didn't like me back.
Well, all I can say is, I hope
you try and protect your heart.
I will. Thanks, Ang.
All right!
Let's say what
we're hopeful for.
Josh, you go first?
Okay, ah...
I am hopeful that
I can talk Rory
into joining the track team.
I love that!
You.
Me next? Ummm...
I am hopeful that I can pay
off my food truck this year.
- Yes.
- Right.
Ah, I'm hopeful I can get
through this new commission
without going under water again.
Literally.
Oh there it is!
Boom!
Your turn, Rory.
I don't know.
Nothing.
It's okay, sweetie.
It's just our way of lifting
up our hearts to know there's
always something
to look forward to.
May I be excused?
Yes. Of course!
Thank you for asking.
Have a great week, buddy.
Have fun at school!
Is everything okay with him?
You all remember what it
was like in the beginning.
For each of you.
You want me to go
and talk to him?
That'd be wonderful, any of
you reaching out would help.
Well, he stayed all the way
through dinner tonight.
That's a win.
You know, I think it was
all of Jenna's gossip
that kept him interested.
Oh, Jenna.
You didn't say what
you are hopeful for.
I'm hopeful I'll get through
this new job, Andrew and all.
Yes.
Cheers!
I need a new fork.
I got it. I got it.
Sit down.
But I take it you like the
new job and it pays well?
Yes, it's for a great cause.
And yes, it does.
Well, then maybe this is
the job that gets you into
the proper office space.
My assistant is looking to set
me up with a real estate agent,
but I love you for
worrying about me.
I know it's hard for you,
but sometimes you've got
to put yourself first.
You've told me that separate
spaces for work and home
would be healthier for you.
It would.
I'm still trying to figure
out that work-life balance.
You're smart.
You'll figure it out.
You can do anything.
Thanks Ang.
Of course. Love you.
Love you too.
I'll call you tomorrow.
Okay. Drive carefully.
I will.
- Good morning!
- Good morning.
Thanks for coming
in early today.
Of course.
I just want to make sure I'm
a hundred percent prepped
for this meeting.
Jenna, you and I are a team.
I would never send you
out there unprepared.
But don't worry, you'll
be making it up to me
with many lattes. Many.
Deal.
Okay, everything you need
for tomorrow is ready to go.
Here are the segments
of the pitch,
color coded, because that's fun.
Oh, and I started an AI mock
up of what the event floor
might look in two
different color schemes.
Should be ready
before you get there.
I love your brain.
And I'm so grateful.
Thank you.
It's your vision.
I'm just executing it.
Which reminds me.
Can you please give that real
estate agent a call back?
Apparently there's this
cute little corner office
on K Street to see.
You don't think we can keep up
with everyone else
working remotely?
No offense Jenna,
but you need a life.
You can't entertain the way
your apartment is right now.
Hm. Yeah.
Work-life balance.
You're not wrong.
Which means I'm right.
As usual.
You better get going.
Yes.
Good luck with this Andrew guy.
I searched him.
He seems like a
straight-shooter.
Yeah. Yeah.
He's, ah, he's all right.
Text me if you need anything.
I will.
- I'll see you later.
- See ya.
Good morning!
Hi, how are you?
I'm good. How are you?
Good.
I got you an iced mocha latte
with three pumps of vanilla,
topped with whipped cream.
Oh wow!
I haven't had one of these
since junior year when I could
burn off sugar just by
walking down the halls.
I guess I should
have texted. Sorry.
You know what?
Who am I to turn down whipped
cream on a Monday morning?
That's the spirit!
Mmm. It's good.
Thanks for finding
an office space.
My office is a little
cramped at the moment.
Oh yeah, no problem.
Tom owns like a dozen
buildings so we have our pick.
Great view.
It sure is.
All right!
Well, Ms. Event Guru, would you
like to tell me your thoughts
on the All For Family
Foundation gala?
First of all, I love the
concept of this foundation.
All For Family.
It's all in the name.
Connecting family with all
the resources they need.
So that led me to think, why not
make a connection with the gala?
Let's create a mock up of an
All For Family center,
but fun-sized.
A mock up of the center?
Yes. So, this is a nonprofit
that helps families with food,
daycare, health services,
housing solutions.
They even have therapy pets.
And as I understand it, if
this pilot program goes well,
you'll be able to open centers
all across the country?
That's right, yeah.
So all the more reason to let
the potential donors see what
the families are getting
once the money flows in.
And we can have fun with it.
Catering trays at
the food area maybe?
An area for people to visit
with the therapy pets
and see how they reduce anxiety.
It's a great way to
get people excited
about the idea in a
very hands-on way.
What do you think?
Um...
It's...
Yeah, it's...
It's interesting.
It's definitely interesting.
I, ah, I just don't think it's
what Tom will be expecting.
Exactly! That's my specialty.
Giving people what they
didn't know they wanted.
I know people hire you
for the unconventional,
but Tom has made it
clear that's not him.
So, in this case, respectfully,
I just, I think it might be
missing the mark a little bit.
In what way?
Well, this is Tom's first
foray into nonprofits.
That's why he hired me, right.
High end donors equal
high end experiences.
These are his words.
So I just think Tom might be a
little put off thinking that
his donors might have to
get their hands dirty.
Who's getting their hands dirty?
I just mean a lot of
these people want to help
but when it comes down to it,
a lot of them shy away
from learning about the
ground floor details.
They just want to mingle with
other high net worth people.
So it's just about networking
and not the actual cause?
No need to get defensive.
Sorry.
Well, what are you
thinking for the gala?
Okay.
I was thinking,
a champagne garden party at
the Harrington Royal Hotel.
Oh, wow. That's...
Traditional.
Exactly. Just a real
black-tie affair.
Classy...
Caviar, canaps, and I don't
know, classical music trio?
Exactly.
Now you're reading Tom's mind!
Okay, I need some girl talk.
Are you seeing someone?
Tell me you're seeing someone.
Well, I am sorry to disappoint.
But, I just got
back a few months
and I am not ready to
see anyone right now.
Life is so different.
A diplomatic life
with David, done.
You need to put
yourself out there.
You need to date.
You need to speak for yourself.
Fair enough.
So, how was your Andrew meeting?
He was so sure he
knew what Tom wanted
that he barely
listened to my pitch.
Huh.
Kind of like senior year when
he insisted on going camping
even though you knew it was
going to rain all weekend?
Your memory is astonishing.
Oh, I know.
And yes, it was
exactly like that.
You know what I think?
You think I should stand
my creative ground, right?
No! I think you should
do whatever it takes
to get through this
job and move on.
Even if my reputation's
on the line?
Your reputation will be fine.
You are known for executing
beautiful events.
This will check that box.
They don't all have to
be ground breaking.
I don't know.
I like to look at each event
as it's own unique opportunity
to think outside the typical
black-tie, champagne box.
Hmmm. And that's why
everybody loves you so much,
because you're so passionate
about what you do.
But Jenna, with Andrew involved,
it's just, it's too much weight.
Yeah.
Maybe that's what's bugging me.
Oh, wait.
You don't still have
feelings for Andrew, do you?
No! No.
No?
Don't worry!
I'm not going to try to
rekindle anything with Andrew.
Okay.
Well, just so we're
on the same page.
Can you please remember
what Angie taught us?
Don't let your
past hold you back
from making the most
of the present.
Right. I'm going to make
the most of the present
by taking charge of my business
and getting some
new office space.
Here, here!
You know, maybe you'll
get to spend some time
with dreamy Tom Redlands, too.
I can absolutely rise above
the undeniable
chemistry with Andrew.
Angie!
What are you doing up so late?
Is everything okay?
It's about Rory.
I mean, it's nothing serious,
I just feel like
he's pulling away.
He seemed fine at
dinner the other night.
Yeah, it was a good night,
although he did
excuse himself early.
Well, that's to be expected.
Teenagers.
Who wants to listen to
some boring grown-ups.
But I'd love to hear
your take on him.
You were quite
similar at his age.
Well, I can only speak
from my own experience.
I was what, 13 when
you took me in?
At that point I'd been on my
own for so long I didn't really
understand what it meant
to be taken care of.
Hmm.
My heart hurts when I
think about that time.
Your mom was so sick.
She couldn't take care of
herself, let alone you.
You had the weight of the
world on your shoulders.
Rory's the same right now.
But you saved me, Angie.
You showed me what it
meant to feel safe.
And you're doing the same
thing for him right now.
My words don't seem
to be reaching him.
Look at me now.
Look at all of us.
You have so much
experience with teenagers.
Yeah, kids take time to trust
again after they've been
bounced around from foster
home to foster home.
But still, this feels different.
How so?
It's hard to explain.
He's just got this
look in his eyes.
Like he's so completely lost.
I think he's pushed his
emotions so far down,
he doesn't even get angry.
Is there a chance you felt
this way about all of us
at some point?
Yes.
I worried about
every one of you.
I still do.
Well then, look how your
instincts helped us.
Take your own advice
and trust your gut.
Thanks.
I think I just
needed to hear that.
We all felt lost in
one way or another.
You showed us we mattered.
Sunday Suppers are going to help
him feel part of the family too.
Okay. I'll keep the faith.
I'm grateful for this chat.
Thank you
Anytime.
So, how are things with Andrew?
Good. So far so good.
We present to Tom
Redlands tomorrow.
You'll wow him
like you always do.
I hope so.
Good night, Jenna.
Good night.
Three, two, one...
Great!
Now let's move on to leg press.
Up you get.
You haven't even told
me what you think yet?
About your leg press?
No, about Jenna.
Your ex. From high school.
Right.
Do you want my honest opinion?
Unless I'm going to regret it.
Here's what I think.
Women don't want
blue-box boyfriends.
What are you talking about?
Everyone likes a well-connected
man in this town.
Not blue blood. Blue-box.
As in recycled.
Which is for bottles
and cans, not love.
Come on. It's a positive.
We already know each other.
High school drama
should stay in the past.
Look, nothing good has
ever come from trying
to reignite an old flame.
You'll just get burned.
I got to take this. Sorry.
I'll go refill your water.
Hello, Mother. How're you doing?
Andrew! Oh, I'm fine.
I'm so glad you picked up.
Everything okay at the house?
Oh yes. Fine, fine.
Don't worry about me.
I do though.
You're all alone in
that big house now.
I can take care of myself.
Today I am thinking about you.
Uh oh.
Oh no.
It's not an uh oh.
Last night I saw Senator
Davis and his wife
at the Blue Water Club.
Oh, I love their linguine.
Did you get the linguine?
No, dear.
I had the salad.
But my point is,
their daughter Bailey is
interested in meeting you.
Ah, whose daughter?
Senator Davis and his wife!
Pay attention, Andrew.
Right, sorry.
Listen Mom, I love that you're
playing matchmaker for me, but
I'm pretty happy with the
company I'm currently keeping.
Wait! You've met someone? Who?
It's way too early for
mother introductions,
but I promise I'll tell
you when the time is right.
What will I say to the Senator?
Just tell him it's bad timing.
Okay, I got to go.
I love you. Bye.
What girl?
You said leg press, right?
Yeah.
- I'm ready, I'm ready.
- Okay.
Let's do some leg press.
Let's do this!
Oat milk latte.
How did you know?
Your assistant is a very
well informed individual.
Ah. Terry.
I should have guessed.
- Cheers.
- Cheers.
Shall we?
Do you want to go
over the presentation
before Tom gets here?
Ah, no.
It's pretty straightforward.
I'll take the lead.
I've got a couple of slides.
Okay, let's give
Tom what he wants!
God, this is such a trip,
us working together.
You know, last night I couldn't
help but think about old times.
Me too.
I found our old prom photos.
No way.
Will you send me
one of those please?
Uh huh.
I haven't thought about that
time in my life in years.
I know.
And look at us now.
You're not nervous, are you?
I mean, I know
Tom's a big deal...
No, I'm not nervous.
You're the one who
should be nervous.
Hmmm.
Do you remember that time we
jumped off the rope swing
into June Lake?
Yes, and I almost didn't do it.
Do you remember what I
told you when you were
scared and nervous then?
I'm terrified of heights!
Of course I was scared
and nervous then.
There were little kids doing it.
It was not that high.
It was high.
Well, I'll never forget
the look on your face.
You like seeing me scared?
That's concerning, Drew.
I'm talking about the
smile you had on your face
right after you did it and
wanted to do it again.
You overcoming your fear
after taking that leap,
you were glowing.
I knew then that you could do
anything you set your mind to.
You said "I'll be right
beside you, no matter what".
And that's all it took.
Apparently.
We were good
together, weren't we?
I know things got complicated
when we went off to college but
while it lasted,
we were good. Right?
Complicated?
That's how you saw it?
Well, how did you see it?
I don't know if we
have time for that.
Oh, Tom's here.
On the roof.
On the roof?
Yeah, you'll see.
Wow!
Andrew, good to see you!
Tom, great to see you.
Thanks for coming.
How was the ride in?
Choppy, choppy!
Very choppy.
This is Jenna Whitaker of
Thistlebird Marketing.
Hello.
Good to meet you.
You too.
- Ah, shall we?
- Yes, of course.
And then, crystal
champagne flutes in hand,
our guests walk out
into the courtyard where
a trio of classical
musicians serenade the party.
Classic, classy, perfection.
So, what do you think?
We are going to give
your high end donors
the experience they deserve.
As you requested.
Yeah, but also no.
I think I'm feeling
something else.
Not a problem,
it's not a problem.
We, Jenna and I can
rethink this today and
give you a different
presentation tomorrow.
I'm sorry Andrew,
but I feel like if this
is the best you got,
maybe I need to
cast a wider net.
Wait, no!
I have an unconventional idea.
If you have a few minutes?
By all means. Hit me up.
Okay, so the concept is
All For Family Experience.
We mock up the actual
center to host an experience
to show off what the
families will be getting.
Our guests will get to mingle
with the clients of the services
and become familiar with
the impact that nonprofit
has on these families.
And be inspired by their
spirit in real time.
Tangible, meaningful,
personal experience.
Our goal is to show
investors how beneficial
their donation dollars will
truly be to these families
in an interactive way.
Stop!
This is the exact concept and
tone that I was looking for.
It's interactive,
it's meaningful.
These are the kind of people
who really want to know
where their money
is going. Right?
So they get values with value.
And bonus, I don't have to do
a hard pitch all night long
because the concept is right
in front of their faces.
You, you nailed it.
Just one question.
Anything.
Can you execute
this in ten days?
Well, it depends.
How fast can you
get me approvals?
Is that your way of asking
me not to drag my feet?
I have a schedule of approval
dates if that helps.
Shall I send them
to your office?
Absolutely. Let's start
a work share protocol.
Perfect.
Andrew, my guy, I'm sorry,
she's got to take
the lead on this.
Understood.
Yeah, of course.
Really, really nice
to meet you, Jenna.
You as well.
All right guys. Wheels up.
Way to roll with Tom's
change of direction there.
- Bravo.
- Thanks.
That's why I'm the best.
Yeah, clearly.
Do you want to come with
me to the first location?
You have a location
scout lined up already?
I'm always hopeful!
Wow, you are the best.
That meeting reminded me of our
AP History report
in twelfth grade.
Do you remember that.
Oh!
Yeah. You were like a
deer caught in the headlights.
Yeah.
But you prompted me
and we got through it.
And we both got an A.
That's right.
Yeah, you were good at
PR even then, you know.
Except for that mean
girl who bullied me
for being a foster kid.
Oh, Ava Johnson.
She was awful. Ugh.
But remember you coached me
on what to say to her because
you had the inside
scoop on her family.
That's right I had the dirt!
Uh huh.
You know, if you think about it,
that was my first
consulting gig.
Yeah, this place is great.
I love it.
Nice and big.
It's very accessible.
Great job.
Yeah, this could work.
What if it rains, though?
What?
Why are you looking
at me like that?
I need to apologize to you.
What for?
I should've paid better
attention to your idea.
I don't know why Tom changed his
mind like that, but regardless,
I still haven't learned
to be a good listener,
and I just got in your way.
I'm so sorry.
Well, listening has never
been a strong suit of yours.
But that's in the past.
You don't have to
change for me, Drew.
No, Jenna, I really need
you to hear me on this.
I really appreciate what
you bring to the table.
You are very good at this.
Oh. Thank you.
Can I ask you something?
Of course.
Why did you ghost me
after high school?
Oh. I, uh...
I mean, that was a very
different time in our lives.
And it was weird for
a lot of reasons.
Weird, like,
did you feel weird hanging out
with me and my foster family?
What? No!
You can tell me.
I'm not ashamed of my past.
It made me who I am.
Look, Jenna, all I ever saw
was a close-knit family
that loved each other.
Unlike my family that
barely spoke to one another.
Your family was loud and fun.
And mine was way too quiet.
I guess I didn't really
know your family.
Well, let's just say that my
upbringing didn't exactly set me
on a path for solid
relationships in life.
I certainly didn't want
the distant coldness
of my parents' marriage.
You know, my trainer has been
the most constant person
in my life for years.
It's ridiculous.
You just don't get it, do you?
I would have been a
constant in your life.
Well then!
I think this all makes sense.
If it's outdoors, we'll
think about floor details.
If it's indoors, we'll talk
about signage lighting.
Just let me know whatever
venue gets approved.
I'm on standby to
re-render the model.
Thank you.
And did I tell you how
much you wowed the client
with your presentation?
I love to hear that!
You're fantastic.
And I can't thank you
enough for working so late.
Two words: Double time.
Just make sure you
start later tomorrow.
I'll talk to you later!
Hello?
Jenna!
Hey, I'm looking at
your venue options here.
Great! What did you think?
Well, outdoors would be nice.
I'm not sure the weather
will cooperate though.
Right now it says there's a 40
percent chance of rain that day.
It is a risk.
And I don't love the
conference center.
It feels a bit cold to me.
Okay. So the first venue?
If you think it will work.
Oh, it definitely will.
I especially like that it's
in a residential neighborhood.
It really adds to the
helping families feel.
Not so institutional.
Yeah. Exactly!
So we're on the same page.
Same page. I love it.
Was that approval
fast enough for you?
I mean, you can't
beat the same day!
Great.
Um... I was also wondering
if you might be available
Friday night for
a little sit-down?
Friday night?
Yeah, yeah.
I wanted to kind of go over
some more details with you.
Oh, I can just go through your
office if your time is an issue.
No, no. Let's do it in person.
Oh! Ah, yeah.
Friday night sounds...
sounds good.
Should I meet you somewhere?
Tell you what. Why don't I
send a car for you at 6 p.m.
The helicopter isn't available?
Ha ha. It's cute.
Ah, so, 6 p.m. works then?
Sounds good.
I'll bring my laptop.
Great.
Tom Redlands is
sending a car for me
on Friday night.
He says it's to talk
about the fundraiser.
Is that weird?
What? Your new boss?
Technically my
client. But Andrew's boss!
A date?
Where's he taking you?
No idea.
And it's not a date.
You're not obligated to say yes.
Spoken like
a protective brother.
It has to be somewhere fancy.
So he didn't call it a date?
No, he said he
wants to discuss details.
That's a line.
- Crazy! So fun!
- You're going.
I think he won some wine awards.
He collects the good stuff.
What are you going to wear?
Yes!
What do you wear
on a private jet?
Hey, to new friends.
To new friends.
Umm, that is fantastic!
So, Jenna Whitaker.
Who is she?
Tell me everything.
Well, I went to
school in Chicago,
and then I moved back right back
to DC after I got my degree.
It's always been home.
Okay. What about your parents?
Well, I never knew my father,
my mom raised me on her own.
And it was a bit
tough, at times.
I had humble beginnings
you could say.
Well, she must be very
proud of you now.
I'm sure she would be.
But she passed
away when I was 13.
Oh. I'm really
sorry to hear that.
It's tough. Especially at 13,
you're so young.
I thought I was an
adult at the time,
taking care of her
when she got sick.
And looking back now
I realize that I was
probably too young
for that role.
And it's not what she
would have wanted.
We just didn't have the money.
Hm. And then what happened?
Did you go to live with family?
Actually, I fell
into a foster family.
A woman named Angie took me in,
and there were
other kids like me.
We've all remained quite close.
Oh cool. She sounds phenomenal.
It's like a chosen family.
That's a good way to put it.
It's actually when
I knew Andrew.
We were high school
sweethearts, I guess.
Wow.
Ah, so what about you?
What got you interested in tech?
Well, that wasn't
the plan, really.
I was in med school, I
was going to be a doctor.
My parents were very
adamant about that.
So when I started
doing medical school,
I just kept focusing on
the tools and the equipment.
So the other students would be
trying to diagnose a patient,
and I'd be looking at the
stethoscope wondering,
how could I make that better.
Wow.
That's a lot to stumble into.
Yeah, no, it really is.
But lately I've been trying to
get back to my roots, you know,
and really reconnect
with the people.
How I can help, how can I serve?
It's not just about
making money, you know.
That's admirable.
Oh. It's Andrew.
Andrew?
Hey Andrew.
I'm just having dinner
with Jenna over here.
Jenna?
Hey!
Hey, Jenna.
Looks like you're having fun.
Yeah, Tom invited me to his
private winery and we're just
going over details for the gala.
I see.
Hey, so what's going on, man?
Ah, the numbers report.
I've got the full analysis
whenever you're ready,
which is obviously
not right now.
Yeah. Can it
wait until Monday?
Sure, yeah.
Why am I working on a
Friday night anyway, right?
Right. Okay.
Have a good weekend.
Yeah, you to...
Sorry about that.
Hey, John boy.
How're you doing?
Um, listen.
I need a real estate favor.
Yes, the password is,
you are the bigger, better,
faster, stronger brother.
It was awkward.
I felt so bad.
Why? You don't
owe Andrew anything!
I know. But that's
not the point.
No, that is the point!
Forget about Andrew.
Why don't you tell me about Tom.
Tom's nice.
He's surprisingly humble.
I really admire him.
Admire him?
You mean, admire him?
Really, Shari?
I just want to make
sure that you are not
setting yourself up for
heartbreak with Andrew again.
Focus on someone new like,
I don't know,
Tom, the cute billionaire!
You've never even met Tom!
Please.
He's all over the internet.
You searched him?
Of course I searched him!
I'll admit it.
Tom's pretty great.
He's fun...
I just don't know yet.
You know that he's
driven, he's successful
and he cares about people.
What else is there to know?
Good night, Shari.
And he's cute and a...
Well, she can give
me the billionaire.
Dude.
Dude, slow down.
You're going to tear a bicep!
I can't believe they
went to his vineyard.
Who?
Jenna and Tom, man.
Oh, your ex.
Wait, isn't Tom your client?
Yes!
So it's not like I can be like,
Hey boss, do you mind
like not dating my ex?
Yeah, you can't say that.
Unless I want to
risk getting fired.
Do you?
I don't know!
I can't believe
this is happening.
This is so weird.
Wow, this girl must have
really done a number on you,
when she dumped you.
She didn't dump me.
Wait, I thought
you two broke up?
We did.
But it was me, stupidly.
You dumped her?
So then why do you want
to get back with her?
That doesn't make any sense.
It's complicated.
It's complicated...
It's really complicated.
I like it.
What do you think?
It's good.
You sure? You didn't
even look at it.
Yep. It's great.
Okay. Let me just...
See what Tom thinks.
It'll just be a second.
He usually responds
pretty quick.
So are you up for tasting
some catering later?
Sure, yep.
Whatever you need.
I'm just here to represent Tom
and make sure the job gets done.
You're acting super weird.
Am I?
I don't think I am.
Is this about last night?
No! Absolutely not.
You are free to taste wines
with whomever you please.
It is none of my business.
Yes.
Yes, I am.
But for what it's worth,
I did feel a little odd about
going to his vineyard on a whim.
Billionaires, right?
Right. Totally.
Billionaires.
Andrew, are you okay?
Fine. Fine.
Well, the place was amazing.
But to be honest,
after the first glass,
they all started to
taste the same to me.
Was it one of his
special reserve labels?
How did you know?
Tom loves that stuff.
I was starving only tasting
food that cleansed the palette.
So, ah...
He didn't try any,
like, date moves on you?
No. No not at all.
It was strictly professional.
Cool. Cool cool.
It was nice to go
somewhere new, though.
Do you remember that
trip to Chesapeake?
Ha! Yeah.
You'd never tried a lobster roll
before and then all of a sudden
it was your new favorite thing.
Mmm...
White bread roll with
the lemon and the mayo...
Stop it.
You're making me hungry.
Well, speaking of, do you
have dinner plans on Sunday?
Sunday is my pizza night.
Wow, that sounded
so sad bachelor.
Well, do you think you could
reschedule your pizza night
and come for Sunday Supper?
Kiki's making seafood.
Are you sure?
Of course. Why not?
Shari.
Because really the answer
to that question is, Shari.
Well, you've got
nothing to worry about.
Yeah, I don't believe you.
She...
Likes you.
They know I'm coming, right?
Yes!
You don't have to be so nervous.
I don't?
No!
Okay. How's my hair?
Is it okay?
Your hair's great.
We're not in high
school anymore.
No one's going to judge
you for your past. Okay?
I think you're wrong.
Ah, well, look who it is.
Heartbreaker from
sophomore year.
What?
Nice to see you too, Shari.
I just finished saying that no
one would be judgmental here.
Andrew!
Hey, buddy.
Hello. Nice to see you.
- Hey...
- Come on in.
Be nice.
Uh huh...
Excuse me. Thanks.
Nice, nice. Nice.
Kiki, you remember Andrew.
Oh, no, I don't
actually remember you.
I was pretty young at the time.
But Jenna did tell me she
listened to your mixed playlist
over and over.
Over and over, you say.
Over and over. Yeah...
Hmmm. Well that's okay.
I do remember you.
You were always
singing and dancing.
You were this positive
ray of sunshine.
Nice to see you again.
Thank you.
I just, I've always thought,
just, you know,
don't let the system
get you down and
I met some great people.
Even those two.
And, well, Angie,
she's real family.
Oh Andrew!
Oh, I'm so glad you made it.
There's always
room at our table.
Thank you, Angie.
I got you this.
Oh, thank you!
It'll be perfect
for my side garden.
Yeah, well, I know you'd much
rather watch a plant grow
than watch cut flowers wilt.
Oh, you have a very good memory.
So, how's life treating you?
It's good, thank you! Yeah.
It's really nice
to be back here.
A lot of memories.
Aw...
I followed your trip
to Africa last year,
what an experience,
quite a journey.
It sure was.
Yeah, yeah.
What journey is this?
Oh, I was volunteering with
a clean water initiative.
We were drilling wells and
installing irrigation systems
in communities with no water.
And you knew about this?
Why didn't you tell me?
Oh, I don't know.
I guess it just didn't come up.
She just didn't want to
remind you that he exists.
No offense.
Okay, I think these are done.
These are done.
Okay. Okay.
So, um,
why don't you tell me how your
job with Tom Redlands is going?
Oh, it's going well, thanks.
Thanks to Jenna.
Actually, Tom loves her plan
and hates mine, but, ah,
it's all good.
We're on track to
finish on time.
Ah, hmmm.
Rory! Come meet Andrew.
Andrew this is Rory,
Rory this is Andrew.
Nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you too.
Nice handshake on you.
Play any sports?
Um, no.
Ah, yeah.
I'm trying to get Rory
to join track and field.
He can sprint like
nobody's business.
In the back yard.
That doesn't count.
What are you talking about?
Back yard totally counts.
You've already broken
three speed records.
Two of them held by Angie.
Well, I don't really know
anyone in track, so...
Well, track is a great
way to meet people.
Even though it may not seem
like it because it looks like
everyone is running
away from you.
But trust me.
Running away?
Interesting choice of words.
Ah, Rory could you go,
put these on the table.
Thanks, pal.
So, dinner is almost ready,
so I hope you're hungry.
- Starving.
- Famished.
This looks so fresh.
It looks delicious.
Ah, did you used to live here?
We're sorry, Rory.
That was very rude of us.
We're laughing
because Andrew is...
From a wealthy family...
Not a foster kid...
Oh, well.
I'd like to be rich one day.
Oh, ah, well, if that's
a priority for you,
I'm sure you can
make that happen.
Just don't be a heartbreaker.
Shari! Andrew is our guest.
It's not like everyone at this
table doesn't already know.
Oh, this is the guy who
didn't like you back?
Uh huh. That's the one.
Is that what she told you?
Okay, maybe that's enough
of a history lesson for now.
She cried for an entire month.
Okay! Can we change
the topic please?
No.
I think I do owe you
all an explanation.
Maybe not in this tough crowd.
I don't know, I think
I'd like to hear it.
I think I would
like to hear it too.
- Can we not?
- No, Jen, it's okay.
Really.
Um, I'd like to clear
the air, in fact.
Okay, um, well back then I was
under a lot of pressure to get
into college and my mother was
very set on me going to Paris,
to the NYU campus there.
But I really wanted to stay
here in DC with you, Jenna.
You never told me that.
Well, I knew that you were
between going to school here and
in Chicago, so I was
just waiting to see
what happened there.
And trying to figure
out what to do.
But my mother felt very
strongly that I was
way too young to be getting
so involved with a girl.
So when you got accepted to
Chicago, I thought that was it.
She got her wish
and we broke up.
So that's what happened?
Yeah.
It was all because
of your mother?
Yeah.
So you didn't want
to break up with her?
Me? No.
Jenna's the love of my life.
I mean, was the love of my
life when I was a teenager.
In high school.
Not anymore though.
No. No no no no.
Definitely not.
But anyway, that's
what happened.
Should we eat?
Let's eat!
Pass the salmon.
Oh boy.
Hey, thank you for
welcoming me in today.
Shari came on a
little strong there.
I'm not sure I'm going to
make it out here alive.
Don't worry about Shari.
She's super protective
of Jenna, but,
come on, we were
just kids, right.
Yeah. Yeah.
Hey, can I ask you something?
Sure.
Why didn't you just tell
Jenna your mom was, you know,
pressuring you to
break up with her?
How would that have
made things better?
Hmm.
I mean, it couldn't
have made things worse.
Yeah.
I don't know, like you
said, we were kids.
I didn't know what I was doing.
I just thought, four years away
at college, that's a long time.
I didn't want to prevent her
from meeting someone else.
What about now?
Now?
What about now?
Now I need to earn her love.
Yeah, well, for what it's worth?
I'm Team Andrew.
Thanks buddy.
Well, say good night
to Rory for us.
Yeah, he seems like
a really good kid.
I'm trying to make him
feel like he belongs.
Anyway, love you.
Drive carefully.
- Good night.
- We will.
Oh wait. I forgot my keys
I'll go back in.
It's okay. I got it.
It was so sweet the way
Andrew said he was in love.
I don't think Jenna
was expecting that.
It was sweet,
but let's get real.
He could break her
heart all over again.
But he did love
her though, right?
Not enough to stay with her.
He and his family always thought
that they were
better than we were.
His future was more
important than hers.
He will never help her
reach for the stars.
Right. Then she should
keep her options open.
She likes Tom too so
why not explore that?
That's what I say.
Ah ha.
John boy, it's me.
What do you got for me?
Yeah, okay.
Okay, I love the space but it's
a little far from downtown.
Do you have anything
in a better location?
Okay.
Oh yes! Jenna would
love this place
Okay, do me a favor
and bookmark this one
and find me a few other options.
Here you go.
Thank you.
What's next?
I was wondering if you'd
call the animal shelter.
They're keen to hook us up
with some pups if we agree
to advertise their
adoption services.
No way. That's cute.
Great idea.
I love dogs.
You remember Quiggly?
Oh yes.
How could I forget the dog that
chewed my shoes not just once
but twice.
It's his love language.
Yeah, you know, he played all
innocent, but he knew exactly
what he was doing when he locked
that sliding door shut on me.
I was surprised you were still
waiting there when we got home.
Well, I wasn't going to
miss a chance to see you.
Hey!
Look at this lovely
young lady I found!
Oh you! I bet you say
that to all the girls.
Mom! Hi!
Hi sweetheart.
What are you doing here?
Well, I'm meeting with Tom!
He asked me to drop by.
Oh.
Well, ah, you remember Jenna?
- Oh, hello.
- Hi.
Should I?
Mom! Jenna!
Oh, forgive me.
I'm not sure I do.
Jenna Whitaker.
Andrew and I knew each
other when we were kids.
Of course. Jenna Whitaker.
It's so nice to see you
after all these years.
You too, Mrs. Clarington.
Oh please, dear.
Call me Margaret.
This is your doing?
Ah, yup. Thistlebird Marketing.
That's me.
Wonderful!
You know, Tom and I
were just talking about
doing a spin off event.
Maybe I could use your help.
What's it for?
Well, I'm chair of the
Children's Hospital
and we are going to be
doing a huge fundraiser.
Wow, that sounds great.
I'd love to be a part of it.
- Excellent.
- Great.
And I'll see you tomorrow?
Oh, you absolutely will.
Good.
Excuse me, I should take this.
Yeah.
Oh, of course. I'm sorry.
I know you're all working.
Bye darling.
Bye Mother.
Love you.
Love you!
What?
Are you sure he didn't
just stay late at school
or something?
He's not at school.
Kiki's calling around
to local places.
We're going to
drive around next.
Although maybe I
should stay here.
I mean, what if
he does come home?
Okay, I'll be on my way.
No, Jenna, I don't want to
pull you away from work.
I just wanted to let you
know in case he calls you.
Don't be ridiculous.
We'll find him.
I'll be right there.
What's going on?
Rory's missing.
What?
He didn't come home from school.
Oh no, Jenna. Well,
I'll help you look.
Sorry. Who's Rory?
He's kind of like
my little brother.
Oh! Oh, okay, Jenna,
hang on a second.
Let me get my head
of security on this.
He actually specializes
in missing persons.
- Thank you, Tom.
- Yeah yeah.
All right, let's go.
We'll take my car?
Yeah, okay.
Thank you.
Has Kiki left?
She's checking the school area.
Josh is meeting her there.
Okay. This is Tom's head
of security, Arthur.
He's offered to help us search.
Ma'am, do you mind if I
ask you a few questions?
Sure.
I usually see the signs if
a child is going to run.
I must have missed the cues.
They're usually just
showing their independence
but happy to come home.
This isn't your fault.
Heading south on Main.
Please state your
location. Over.
How do you work this thing?
Just press that button.
We're on Duluth Avenue
heading...
- North.
- North. Over.
Split up to cover more ground.
Pick a meeting spot. Over.
Copy that. Over.
Okay, so I'll stay here,
you go to the street over.
Yeah, we'll both head north and
meet on the next boulevard.
Okay.
He's going to be okay.
I hope so.
He just needs a reminder
of how much people care.
That's the problem, Drew.
No one ever has.
Okay, we're at ten blocks now.
Do you think we should switch
it up and go somewhere else?
Over.
Yeah,
let's make it fifteen. Over.
Oh thank goodness.
We found him.
He's at a bus stop at
Duluth and Parsons. Over.
Over.
Hey, Rory.
What's up?
How did you find me?
Huh! Well, with three adults
and one security guard,
we were bound to find
you sooner or later.
Yeah.
Don't worry.
You're not in trouble.
So what's going on?
Nothing.
Okay.
I ran away once
when I was a kid,
and there was
definitely a reason,
so I'm going to take
a guess and say that
maybe you have one too?
Don't worry.
You definitely don't
have to tell me.
But for whatever it's worth,
I'm a very good listener.
I got a bad mark.
Oh!
Like, on an assignment?
It was an oral presentation.
I hate those.
And I was really terrible.
I just froze.
Hmm.
And you're afraid
Angie's going to be mad?
I'm not going back
to the group home.
Of course not.
Why would you think that?
My friend Ethan was
at a foster home too.
But they sent him back
because he got bad grades.
They said he caused
too much trouble.
Rory, listen to me.
Angie's not going to do that.
How do you know?
Because those people were wrong.
No kid is too much trouble.
And I know because
I was like you.
I was actually at a bus
stop just like this
when Angie found me.
Eighteen years ago this
spring, as a matter of fact.
My mom was gone and I didn't
have any family left.
So I went to this bus stop
to at least feel like
I was going somewhere, you know?
Just so I could take a second
and figure out my next move.
And then Angie came up
and asked if I was okay.
She saw me on the way
to the grocery store,
and when she was on her
way back I was still there.
She knew something was wrong.
Did you ever fail a test?
Yes. I certainly did.
You know, sometimes when I
was thinking about my mom
and how sick she was,
it felt impossible to
concentrate on school work.
And did she die?
She did.
But one of the things
Angie taught me
was that it's okay to be a kid.
And you don't have
to be perfect.
So what do you say?
Do you think maybe
we could go home now?
I'm sure Angie would really
like to know you're okay, Rory.
You sure took the
long way home today.
I'm sorry I made you worry.
Worry is my middle name.
Happy ending, I'm glad.
Thank you, so much.
Thank you.
You know you are safe with me.
Whatever is going on I want
you to know you can tell me.
I failed an oral
history presentation.
Oh. Okay.
Are you mad?
Well, a little.
At your teacher, for not
letting me know that
you're having
trouble in his class.
You know, we could
call Mr. Wheeler
and see if he can give you
a chance to make it up?
Really?
You can get me a second chance?
Of course.
Everyone deserves a do over.
I've had so many,
I have lost count.
Well, I mean, in that case, I
would really like a do over.
Maybe you could
help me practice?
Yes, I'll help you practice.
Go upstairs and wash up.
I'll tell you when
dinner's ready.
Thank you, for bringing me back.
Anytime.
For bringing me back home.
What Rory said. Thank you
And thank you.
Oh, you are a good egg
for coming out to help.
It was my pleasure.
And I was told there was dinner.
There is always
room at our table.
You two are going
to stay for dinner?
Actually my phone tells
me I have a meeting
at Corner Port Cafe.
All right. Well Andrew,
you are more than welcome
to stay for dinner.
I'm afraid I'm Jenna's ride.
Sadly.
Okay. Next time, guys.
Would you mind dropping
me off at home?
I have to change for
this, ah, for, ah...
For Tom?
What's wrong?
Yeah. Sure.
Wow!
You look beautiful.
Thank you.
And thanks for the heads
up on the dress code.
Oh, yeah, no, of course.
Um, I like surprises and all,
but I learned the hard way.
There's a fine line between
surprises and embarrassment.
So you do this often I take it?
No. Not really.
Hmmm.
So what are we
toasting this time?
How about to a fabulous
event on Saturday night
that I know is going to be
flawless with you at the helm.
Here's hoping.
Tom, I have to ask.
This doesn't really feel
like a business meeting.
I know.
You hate this place, right?
I love it.
I just, I'm not sure
if your intention
is to talk about business.
Busted.
Do you want to dance with me?
Dance?
Yeah you know, like a
throwback kind of style.
Okay. Sure.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
Come on.
I'm actually a terrific dancer.
- Are you?
- Yeah, yeah.
Not a lot of people know
that, but it's true.
That's a fun fact.
Yeah, it is.
Jenna, I know that we've been
working together professionally,
and I don't want to do
anything to jeopardize that.
But?
But I'm just, I'm honestly
really captivated by you.
I'm looking for someone to
spend the rest of my life with.
Oh wow.
Look, I know, it's a lot, okay.
Maybe you need a
second to figure out
how you feel about me.
That's fine but all
I'm asking for is
would you give me a chance?
Ah...
Tom, I'm incredibly flattered.
Good.
Um, and I really like you too.
I, I think you're a wonderfully
generous, interesting man.
Why do I feel like there's
a but coming my way now?
I just need some time.
Umm...
I actually need to
go talk with someone.
I'm so sorry.
Andrew!
Hi.
Is everything okay?
What are you doing here?
Oh yeah, definitely. Um...
Oh, hang on. Hey Tom!
Yeah, I just got home.
Oh, great, thanks.
I'm so happy to see you.
Yeah, um...
Listen, I have something
I need to say to you.
Me too.
Okay, mind if I go first?
Sure.
Okay.
I know I broke your heart
all those years ago,
and I'm so sorry
about that Jenna.
We were just kids.
You don't have to say that.
No, I do. I really do.
And I thought that this job,
bring us back together,
was like a sign.
And I...
Two seconds.
I'll be right back.
Well, I guess I've
been lying to myself.
Okay.
Andrew.
Good talk!
This is where it
really opens up.
Oh, wow.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- Good job.
- I know, hey.
Whoa! Jenna!
I'd like you to
meet Marsha Cutler.
She just very generously
pledged to the cause.
Oh what a fun notion to let
us in on the inner workings
of this organization.
It's so inspiring.
I'm so glad to hear
you're enjoying it.
I am.
Now if you'll excuse me,
I hear some great things
about Tom's wines.
Thanks again for your support.
Oh, my pleasure.
So, where is he?
Who?
Well, the guy that you
left me to go talk to.
Oh, right.
Um, you know, that didn't
end up working out.
Ah, he's a fool.
Oh Andrew!
Just the man I was looking for.
Can I talk to you
for a quick sec?
Yeah. Yeah, of course.
You don't mind?
No.
- Excuse us.
- Yeah.
Okay, listen, I've got
to tell you some stuff.
Things are going tremendously.
Angie!
Oh hi sweetie!
The place looks wonderful.
I know, right?
How's Rory?
Training with Josh.
Hundred yard sprint.
There's a big meet tomorrow.
He hides it well, but
the kid's got drive.
I think he's going to nail it.
Hey Jenna!
I got to go check
on some things.
I'll see you in a bit.
- Okay!
- Okay.
People are really
responding to this cause.
We've already raised
enough money to fully fund
the DC location, as well as
roll out in a few other cities.
Tom, that's, that's fantastic.
You're going to
make a difference
in a lot of people's lives.
Congratulations man.
Congratulations to you!
You helped me build this
thing from the ground up.
Let me ask you something.
Are you ready to head up
the national roll out
for All For Family?
Oh, ah, right. Um...
Yeah...
Let me think about that.
Think about it?
I thought this is
what you wanted.
It is.
It is what I want.
Ah, yeah, it is!
Um, I just, I need a
little bit more time.
Is that okay?
Of course.
Okay.
Ah, thank you.
Thank you.
You're Andrew's
mother, Margaret?
Yes I am!
And you look so familiar.
I'm Angie Hartman, Jenna
Whitaker's foster mom.
We met a few times at the PTA
when the kids were
in high school.
You organized the bake sales!
I hope you still make
that banana bread.
Jenna and Andrew did such
a great job of this event.
Between us, I think they're
both a little afraid
to admit that they're
falling in love again.
You don't say?
I've been trying to
fix Andrew up with
a gorgeous, talented
woman for years!
She is that.
You're a smart woman, Angie.
You have to join us for
Sunday Supper, Margaret.
That would be lovely.
Well, each week I gather my
Hearts together and we support
each other through whatever
life is going to throw at us.
And so you'll join.
Count me in.
Great.
Hello everyone! Hi.
Thank you.
Thank you so much.
It's a good looking
crowd you've got here.
Listen, I want to thank
you all for coming out
and participating in
this very unique gala.
All For Family,
all that they do.
You guys got to check
out their services.
It's phenomenal stuff.
I want to do a special
shout out to Jenna Whitaker.
Hey Jenna.
And to Andrew
Clarington, as well.
For putting this
whole thing together.
Thank you guys.
Amazing.
You know, folks, I grew up
in a pretty modest household.
My parents were proud people.
They didn't want to take any
handouts, but there were some
times where we had to rely on
food banks, and charity shops.
You know, I always
appreciated people who
found ways to help out.
People who said, hey, you know,
I have more than I need,
why don't you take
this bag of groceries,
or a small grant to help you
with this month's bills.
You should think,
people who are in need
really want the chance to
get back on their feet.
But it's hard, when the
power's about to be shut off,
when your kids are
hungry at home.
That's what All For
Family is all about.
Just giving people a chance,
to connect, to feel that
sense of belonging.
But also that sense
of pride and dignity.
So let's all help the families
all across America to connect.
You didn't tell me you were
getting back
together with Jenna?
I'm not.
She's in love with Tom.
Are you sure about that?
There's no ring on her finger.
And since when do you
give up so easily?
You're a Clarington!
We fight for what we want.
I can't make her love me, Mom.
Let me remind you that your
very reserved grandfather
won your grandmother's
heart when he told her
exactly how he felt.
Have you actually told
Jenna how you feel?
If she doesn't know,
she doesn't know!
You're right.
You're right!
Thank you, Mom!
Oh hey.
Where'd you go?
It doesn't matter
where I've been,
it matters where we are going.
Okay, um, I wanted
to show you this.
It's a yearbook.
Yeah, from our graduating year.
And, ah, this is what I
wanted to write to you then
but I was too young
to realize it.
"Ever mine no
matter how far or long apart.
"I will always hold you
so close in mind and heart."
I wasn't ready then, Jenna.
But I am now.
So what now?
I love you, a lot.
And I wanted this yearbook post
to remind us of our best years,
but then tonight I realized that
our best years are yet to come.
Real estate listings?
Right, yeah. I hope that's okay.
My brother and I
found those for you
because you never seem to
take the time for yourself.
You listened!
Yeah.
You do still love me.
I never stopped loving you.
Even when you thought
Tom was coming over
but it's just his driver
dropping off my purse?
Oh, he was just
dropping off your purse?
Yeah, I forgot it when I
ran out of the restaurant
to look for you.
Oh, I'm sorry I jumped
to conclusions there.
Apology accepted.
I never want to lose
you again, Jenna.
I think I can execute that plan.
- Hi.
- Hi.
- You almost ready?
- Yup!
Let's go.
Great because I am starving.
Are you?
I've been dreaming about Sunday
Suppers for a long time.
Ah, just two seconds.
Hello?
Yes.
I will check on that
first thing tomorrow
when I'm back at the office.
No, sorry.
I have a policy about
not working on Sundays.
Thank you for understanding.
I'll talk to you then.
I'm so proud of you.
Thanks.
What's this?
Oh, I got Rory a laptop.
You did?
That is so sweet!
Well you know, school's
isn't just about track.
He needs to do his homework too.
Oh!
You're trying to impress
Angie, aren't you?
One hundred percent.
All right, let's go.
- Yes.
- Okay.
Jenna?
Are you still there?
What is that?
Um, that's just my
remote assistant.
Hey, Terry.
I think we're going to have
to set some new boundaries.
Wait a minute.
Are you getting a life?
You could say that.
It's about time!
Thanks.
Talk to you tomorrow!
Okay, for real this time.
- I'm impressed.
- Thanks.
This looks positively
scrumptious, Kiki.
The tomatoes ripen faster
than we can seem to eat them.
Don't get her
started on tomatoes.
Hey, Roar, what happened
with your presentation?
Did your teacher
let you do it again?
I got a B.
- That's awesome!
- Nice job!
That's great!
And you have some news, Jenna?
Yes, I finally have an office.
No way! You took that
place on K street?
Actually, we found
a place to split.
Whoa!
You guys are going
to be a power couple.
That's right.
It's wonderful.
You two are meant to be.
I'd like to think so, yeah.
I am just so thrilled we're
all sitting here together.
You are all my dear Hearts.
And I love you.
And I'm hopeful we can keep this
tradition going, no matter what.
Cheers!
No matter what!
