Yup, absolutely. Corporate
thinks everything looks good.
The restaurant's only been
open a month...
...and the new double-decker pizza
is a hit.
Not to worry,
I'll talk to marketing...
...about the new
Midas Pizza signage. Yeah.
Great. How's the new
pretzel crust tracking?
Thank you!
Hey, Zoe.
Chai tea latte.
Thanks, I'll get you
back after work.
Everyone just went into
the update meeting.
Do me a favor,
put this on my desk?
Sure. Loving the new shoes.
Franc Hills?
Thank you, and yes,
and gotta go.
Glad to see that everyone
could make it this morning.
All right, let's start.
Q4 was excellent for
International Corporate Brands.
We are projecting one of our most
profitable years...
All right, let's focus,
people, please.
Let's start with Jungle Juicery.
Now, the chain grew to 50 stores...
...last year, which in anyone's
book is quite the accomplishment.
I got reservations
for us at Erimea tonight at 7:30.
Wilhelmina Jones, my office.
Yikes.
Full name, not good.
Yup.
If this is about me being late,
sir, I really want to apologize.
Sit down.
ICB recently purchased
...that corporate wants
to re- brand and expand.
Now, they want to jump
on this ASAP.
So we need to make sure all the
restaurants are compliant...
...with corporate standards,
the new logos, signage...
...and, obviously, the menus.
- Exactly.
We think it has the potential
to go national.
- And how many stores currently?
- Six, in two states.
And who's the compliance director?
You.
Me?
You've been working your tail off
...and I think it's time you took
the lead on your own project.
- Larry, thank you.
- Now, all the stores...
...are transitioning
smoothly to ICB standards...
- Well, that makes my job easier.
- Except for one.
They're not returning
our calls or e- mails.
And it's not just any store.
It's the original
flagship restaurant...
...and the founding family
still runs it.
Okay, so a little
more complicated.
Yeah, and we need you
to un- complicate it.
- Copy that.
- Now, this is a chance...
...for you to show us
what you've got, Ms. Jones.
You get it handled quickly,
you're looking at a promotion.
So, get packed.
I need you up there...
...and all over this brand
first thing in the morning.
I almost forgot.
What is the brand?
Hart's.
- And the problem store?
- Some fly- over town in Tennessee.
Sycamore something.
- Springs?
Yeah, that's it.
Sycamore Springs.
You're from Sycamore Springs?
But you're, like, cool.
- Thank you.
- When's the last time...
...you were there?
- 15 years ago.
And your parents
still live there?
- No, they moved to Florida.
- Oh, natch.
But my crazy Aunt Tali still
lives there, married to her art.
And I sort of know the owner
of the restaurant.
- That's good, right?
- No.
He's the father of the guy
I used to date in high school.
Yikes. And now it's supes awkward
'cause he dumped you?
No. I broke up with him when
I finally got outta that place.
How'd he take it?
Not well.
But, I mean,
what was I supposed to do?
Stay in Sycamore Springs
for the rest of my life...
...when my high school
boyfriend's goals were...
...fishing and drinking beer?
I made it very clear that
I wanted more out of my life...
...and just because he chose
to stay in that sleepy cow town...
...doesn't mean that
I have to throw away...
...the rest of my life.
Sounds like you
have some unresolved issues.
They're the ones with issues.
Maybe you could turn it
into a little vacay?
Is Reed going with you?
- Reed!
He's supposed to pick me up in
an hour. I have to get ready.
- Where's he taking you?
- Erimea.
Nice.
You think he might...
...put a ring on it?
I have something for you.
Surprise.
It's our new condo.
- Our condo?
- Mina, we've been together...
...for two years, one month,
and five days.
I think it's time we take our
relationship to the next level.
Will you move in with me?
I'm just shocked.
Right? It was on the cover of
Modern Interiors last month.
What do you say?
Part of me wants to say yes,
move in tomorrow...
...and throw parties on that
ridiculously huge balcony.
Then just say yes.
But a bigger part of me always
imagined I'd be married first.
I know, I know, it's old- fashioned
but it's how I was raised.
Sweetie, a lifelong partnership
is about mindful transitioning...
...from one phase of life
to the next. Moving in together...
...is just the first step.
It's all part of my five- year plan.
Five- year plan?
We date for two years,
live together for about a year...
...so we can get used to
each other's life rhythms.
Both of us get promotions and then,
once we're financially secure...
...we get married. And a year
after that, you can quit...
...and raise our one baby.
- One baby?
You know it's not responsible or
globally sustainable to have more.
Right, sure, I guess I just thought
I might have a say in that.
I'm overwhelming you.
I can see it. I do this.
I get so excited about something,
and then I just...
Look, Reed. It's a beautiful
condo, it's just...
of town for this job, and...
...I'm just not in the best place
to make such a big decision.
I guess that's fair.
What?
Come on!
My Franc Hills?
Hey, guys. Hey.
Really? Today?
Shoo! Take your friends.
Get along. Giddy up. Go!
Look what I got here.
Yeah.
Right this way. Yeah.
Okay, one down.
Who's next?
Go on!
Go on, get! Get!
Really? Now you move?
Thanks so much!
- Willy?
- Hi!
- I can't believe this.
And I go by Mina now.
And you're...
- Still Clay.
- No, right, yeah.
No, I meant, and you're all good?
Everything...
- What are you doing here?
- What are you doing here?
- I live here.
- No, right, I know, I just...
...wasn't expecting
to run into you.
What's that smell?
White Platinum?
No, I think it's coming
from your shoe.
You know what,
thanks for the cows, and...
...I really gotta get going. I've
got a thing I have to work on...
...for an appointment...
- Are you okay to drive?
Yup. Totally fine.
All good. I just really, really
need to get into town, so...
Are you staying
in Sycamore Springs?
Yeah, I am, so...
I'll just see you around town.
- I'm sure you will.
- Great.
Great.
- Welcome home.
- What?
It's just something we like to say.
May I get your name?
Jones. Wilhelmina.
Willy Jones?
From high school?
- It's Mina now.
- This is amazing.
My horoscope said that my past
I thought that meant that I was
going to get back together...
...with Deacon, my ex.
But this is way better.
Well, it's me, Penny.
Penny Laterner?
Hi, Penny.
Yes, it's so good to see you.
It's okay, you don't remember me.
I was a year behind you in school.
And you were, well,
super popular, and I wasn't.
I'm so sorry, but is there
