Yeah, no.
I know, Brad.
Okay.
I know, Brad, I'll be there at 9:00 sharp.
Oh, don't worry,
the studio sent over a suit for me to wear.
I guess they didn't trust my fashion sense.
Yes, I know what a big deal this is for us.
No, I won't forget the signed movie poster.
I will see you later.
Okay, bye.
Angela Young?
Yes, that's me.
Thank you.
Headed to the Book Expo?
Yes, I'm an author.
Oh, great.
Anything I'd have heard of?
It's a book series called "Time Visitor."
They just turned it into a movie.
Congratulations on all your success.
Thank you so much.
Now all I need is some time in my schedule to enjoy it.
Are they all here for you?
Oh, I doubt it.
Oh, there's my sister.
I can let myself out.
Okay.
Hey, thank you again.
Have a great weekend.
Thanks, you too.
Thank you.
Hey.
Sorry I'm late.
It's okay, I'm used to it.
Take this.
Okay.
Ready? Let's do this.
Yeah.
When did you get here?
About a half hour ago,
I had to drop off some books
at the TV studio for your interview later,
and I just left my car there
and took a cab over here.
Have I ever told you you're a great assistant?
About a hundred times.
But you can always say it again.
Oh, my God, wow, you look amazing.
Oh, can you believe this?
I think this suit costs more than my car.
Well, you're practically a celebrity these days.
You've gotta look the part.
How's Brad?
Is he in full control-freak mode yet?
Yeah, but that's nothing new.
How are you feeling?
Yeah, you know, I'm-I'm a little nervous.
Yeah.
Actually, I'm a lot nervous.
The hype behind the movie is pretty crazy, huh?
Yeah.
I think this is about to be your new normal.
Aw...
I love your costume.
Athena's my favorite character in the whole world.
Really?
What do you like most about her?
She's not afraid of anything.
Exactly.
I wish I had her confidence right about now.
Have fun today, okay?
Bye.
Oh, so cute...
Okay, so, uh, we're here till 11:00,
then at 12:00, you've got your radio interviews.
3:00, you are pre-taping for Beantown Today,
and then at 6:00,
you and Brad are hopping on a flight to L.A.
for your big movie premiere tomorrow night.
Gee, is that all?
I really wish you were coming with us to Los Angeles.
I know,
but I've got that wedding to go to on Saturday.
Yeah, I just can't imagine surviving a red carpet
without you.
I can't do this...
Oh, no, you don't.
What? I just need some air,
and some coffee,
and probably some more sleep.
I promise I'll be right back.
Uh, yeah, right,
you always try to run every time you feel overwhelmed.
You've been doing it since we were kids.
Come on, I'm a writer, I didn't sign up for this.
Writing is the hard part.
This is supposed to be fun.
Oh, really? You wanna trade places?
Not a chance.
But don't worry,
I'll be at the back of the theatre
watching the entire time.
Take me to my happy place, take to my happy place...
take me to my happy place.
All right, little man,
looks to me like you are gonna get to keep those tonsils.
What do you think of that?
Is that a good thing?
Is he going to be okay, Doctor?
He is gonna be just fine.
So, his glands are a little swollen,
his throat's still inflamed,
but he should be good by next week.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
Quinn, what do you say to Dr. Callan?
Thank you, Dr. Cow-man.
You're welcome, cowboy.
Whoa, look at all that wax in your ear.
Let me get that.
What?
Thank you.
You're welcome.
Okay, see you later.
Hey, guys.
Good morning, sweetheart.
Did you guys have fun with Nana this morning?
Yeah, it was good.
We went blueberry picking, and then we made pancakes.
What? That sounds like the perfect start
to the most perfect day ever.
What about you, Emily?
What?
Oh, sorry.
Yeah, it was fun.
Alex ate, like, 40 pancakes.
We're going to go to the bookstore.
Come on, Alex.
Bye, Nana!
Bye, dear.
Wow, do you remember
when she used to ask permission to go someplace?
Now she just kind of tells me.
She's growing up, finding her voice.
Before you know it, she'll be dating.
For some topics,
I prefer to keep my head in the sand
if that's okay with you.
Jeff...
Emily needs someone younger
who can relate to her better than I can.
And, more importantly, you need someone.
Thank you so much for worrying about me.
I should probably go check on the kids,
make sure they're not getting into any trouble down there.
Making yourself comfortable, I see.
What's on the Callan Family best-seller list?
I'm reading a Japanese comic book.
Cool.
Emily, how about you?
The new book in the Time Visitor series.
I've told you about it, Dad.
It's about a girl named Athena who can travel through time.
She's totally amazing.
Cool.
Time-traveling teens?
Who comes up with this stuff?
When the world needed a hero,
Athena would be that hero...
Go!
Athena, it's a superstorm,
you've gotta get us outta here!
I'm trying, but the crystal isn't working!
Well, you'd better figure something out,
because we don't have much time!
Hey, sorry I'm late,
I got stuck on a call with the film studio.
You look great.
Look at this!
The audience is loving the movie.
Yeah... I'm kinda freaking out, Brad.
Are you kidding me?
I always said you were going to be a big star,
and now it is actually happening.
Okay, I need Boyfriend Brad right now, not Manager Brad.
Stop...
Aw, come on, I just need a little more content
for the website.
Put it down...
Okay, phone's going away, phone's going away.
It's just me and you.
Listen, you've worked so hard to get to this moment, okay?
All you have to do is go out there
and be yourself.
Be funny, be charming,
be... you.
Yeah, well, I'd feel a lot more like me
if I were behind a laptop
in a coffee shop,
not in front of 400 people on a stage.
You know what, maybe you just need some food
to calm your nerves.
Here, I've got some nuts.
These are delicious.
Brad, how long have we been dating?
- Hmm? - I'm allergic to nuts!
- What? Really? - Yes, Brad.
My throat closes up,
and I just break into hives.
Ew, that is not a good look.
Okay, no nuts. Good to know.
Well, as you know,
we have a very special guest for you right now.
The author of the "Time Visitor" books,
Angela Young!
Go get 'em, slugger.
She's got this.
Oh, wow, that is seriously bright.
Please tell me there are no more interviews.
Okay, I got a call from Good Morning America,
and they'd love to have her
the Tuesday after the premiere.
No, no, no, no. No can do.
We've got the opening
of the Time Visitor pop-up store in Chicago
on Tuesday.
Can they do Wednesday?
Brad, you're supposed to be on a flight
to Beijing on Thursday
for the next premiere.
Yeah, I know. We'll make it work.
She's going to be really jetlagged.
Hey, we can all rest
after the movie makes a $100 million, okay?
The better the movie does,
the more books we sell, right?
Hang on, I gotta grab this.
Go for Brad.
Do you remember
when we went canoeing in Nantucket last fall?
I wish we could do that again.
Hey, I got it!
Why don't we rent a canoe,
just for a few hours?
Aw, I'm sorry, honey,
You go live on Beantown in less than an hour.
Right.
Okay, the most beautiful season of the year,
and I get to see it all
through the limousine window.
You guys aren't going to believe this.
We just closed the deal for three more books!
What?
Three more books?
Three? I mean, how could you not tell me
this deal was in the works?
Listen, I didn't want to bother you with the details
because I had no idea
the deal would close this quickly.
Did you know about this?
I swear, I just found out when you did.
Congratulations?
Am I missing something?
I thought you'd be excited.
Brad, "Time Visitor" was supposed to be
a three-book series.
Athena's story is over.
I want to tell new stories.
I get that, but, honey,
your publishers are giving you
a gigantic bonus.
Yes, but it's not about the money for me, Brad.
I started writing because I loved telling stories
that would inspire young people.
But now all I do lately is go to meetings
about Athena apps and video games.
And theme parks,
don't forget the theme parks.
Kidding, kidding.
Look, I understand it's overwhelming, okay?
But come on, this is every author's dream.
No, Brad, this is your dream.
Look, how am I even supposed to be inspired
to write something new
when all I do is go to interviews?
Do you want, like, a cup of tea, Ange?
No.
No, I don't want a tea.
I want a break.
For a week.
Okay, just even for a few days.
I want to see foliage,
I want to go apple picking,
I want to carve a pumpkin!
It's fall, you guys!
Hey, I love apple picking, too.
I get it,
and I understand that you're tired,
but we have to strike while the iron is hot.
Well, that's not the answer I was looking for.
Hi, Ms. Young, we need you on set.
Thank you.
Ange, listen.
Okay, look, I am not happy if you're not happy.
So, talk to me,
what can I do to make you feel better?
Be spontaneous.
Just this once.
Run away with me for the weekend.
We can go to the Berkshires.
No cell phones, no computers?
What do you say?
Let's do it.
Really?
Sure, why not?
You don't mean today?
Honey, we have the movie premiere
in L.A. tomorrow night. We can't miss that.
Right, the movie premiere.
Look, I promise you,
we'll take a trip after the holidays.
But for now, all you have to do
is go out there, do this one last interview,
and we are out of here, okay?
You got this.
You're great.
- Hi. - Hi.
Nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you, too.
Thank you.
Okay, everyone, five minutes to air.
Oh, sorry.
Yeah, go for Brad.
Oh, Jennifer, how are you?
Yes, very exciting, I know, I know...
Okay, we are in L.A., so we can make that work...
No, no, Angela is totally available
and very interested...
Right.
That's great,
we wanted to talk with the guys over there
about merchandising.
The dolls were great, we loved them.
A couple little changes...
Yeah, just some little things,
but it's all very exciting,
and Angela is very much on board.
The amusement park? Great idea, uh-huh.
I was thinking about the roller coaster...
Excuse me, I was looking for that woman
I saw you with earlier today,
the one with the blue Pontiac
parked in the tow-away zone?
It's about to get towed.
Oh, okay, no problem.
It's my sister.
I'm actually headed out to move it right now.
Thank you.
What? I'm sorry, what?
Just a second.
Have you seen Ms. Young? We go live in two minutes.
What are you talking about?
She was sitting on set like, a second ago.
Control room, our guest is M.I.A.,
we're gonna need to pinch hit.
What's going on? Where is Angela?
She pulled a disappearing act,
is where she is.
What?
Angela? Ange!
Angela!
Ange, they need you on set, like, right this second.
I am dialing her cell.
Well, wherever she is, she's not answering.
Maybe she went out for a walk?
Yeah, more like a long drive.
Sorry,
I just needed time to myself.
Don't worry, I'm fine. I took Cynthia's car.
Oh, what is she thinking...
Well, well, Vermont,
it's nice to see you again,
I'm Angela. I'm an Aries.
I like Audrey Hepburn films,
and, uh, salt water taffy,
and talking to myself.
However, I'm not too crazy about this rain,
so I'd appreciate it if you'd just... lay off.
Come on, Vermont, work with me.
It's been a beautiful drive up until now.
Ooh, wow...
That's bright.
Whoa!
Uh... ma'am?
Excuse me, ma'am?
Are you okay?
Me?
I'm fine.
I'm Kevin Gaines, the town sheriff.
Uh, what's your name?
My name?
I have no idea.
It's okay, take it easy.
What happened?
You were in some sort of accident,
but you don't need to worry, okay?
I'm a doctor,
in case the lab coat didn't give that away.
Dr. Callan.
Yes.
How did you... know that?
Your name is on your coat.
Yes, it is.
Glad to see
the cognitive skills are working, that's good.
Where am I?
Well, you are in Hopedale,
in the fine state of Vermont.
I've never heard of Hopedale.
I didn't think so.
I'm the only doctor here in this small town,
I figured we would have crossed paths by now.
Listen, more importantly,
can you tell me anything about yourself?
No.
Hmm.
It's too bad
your name wasn't embroidered on your shirt, huh?
Sorry, that was a bad joke.
Do you have any idea what's going on with me?
Why can't I remember anything?
Okay, well, I don't know right now,
but I'm going to guess
that judging from the little cut on your head,
that you've suffered
some sort of post-traumatic memory loss.
Now, it's okay, don't panic.
You didn't have a concussion,
and the memory loss normally doesn't last that long.
I should have had a purse,
some sort of I.D...
Um, oh, a phone.
We can go to my recent calls...
You didn't have a bag or a phone
when I found you this morning.
Just the clothes you were wearing.
Hello again.
I'm the sheriff. We met earlier.
Yes, I-I remember that.
Thank you for your help this morning.
No problem.
Listen, if there's anybody out there looking for you,
Kevin will find them.
Would you excuse us for a moment?
I will be back, okay?
I thought this kind of thing
only happened in the movies.
Nope, it's a real thing, all right.
But as I mentioned to her, it shouldn't last that long.
So you have no idea where she's from?
Unfortunately, no.
No one's been reported missing in the area.
Hmm.
It's like she just dropped out of the sky
into our little town.
Wow.
Guess you've got your work cut out for you, huh?
Yeah.
Actually, you mind if I ask her a few more questions?
You know, she's actually been through a lot.
Let's just leave it for now.
Whatever you say, doc.
In the meantime,
I'll go file a missing person's report
and see what we can find.
Okay, I'll see you later.
All right.
Hey.
Hi.
I don't understand.
I know who all these celebrities are,
but I can't remember a single detail about my life?
You are gonna be just fine, all right?
Your memory will come back soon.
How long is soon?
Well, best-case scenario, a day or two.
Worst-case scenario?
Well, uh... could be a week?
A week?
Okay, don't get upset.
You're only going to make it worse, all right?
I just need you to relax.
Okay, okay, so what-what happens next?
Do I, um...
do I get a cast? A sling?
Did you break anything?
I don't think so.
Okay, then... no?
Oh.
Tell you what, uh...
Want a lollipop?
Thanks.
Look, I was just going to get you...
some scrubs
that you can change into,
if you like.
I hope the shoes fit.
They're my nurse's.
I'll leave you with that, okay?
Oh, actually,
what should I call you?
Huh?
I was thinking that
we should probably give you a name, you know.
Oh, right, uh...
Yeah, that makes sense.
Cheryl.
Does that work?
Uh...
I don't really feel like a Cheryl.
Hmm. Um...
this is gonna be a lot harder than I thought.
How about...
How about Elizabeth?
Elizabeth.
It's nice to meet you.
Pleased to meet you, too, Dr. Callan.
Take your time.
Not only do I feel strange,
but now I look strange as well.
I promise I won't tell my nurse you said that.
Oh, right, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to imply...
I'm kidding, sorry, I was kidding.
There was a reason
I wanted to bring you into town
so soon after your injury, though.
The quicker that we can expose you
to images you may recognize,
the faster your memory will return.
So, what do you think?
Look around, what do you see?
Does anything ring a bell?
Uh, I see a post office.
A gazebo.
A banner that says "Fall Fest,"
but nothing's ringing a bell.
Okay, stop for a sec,
take a deep breath.
Close your eyes.
What do you smell?
I think I smell apple pie,
cinnamon,
and... a fire
burning off in the distance.
That's...
that's good.
Does that remind you of anything?
Yeah. My mother.
I don't remember much,
but I know she used to bake pies this time of year.
That's good.
You feel better?
Yeah, a little.
Thanks.
You bet.
Hey, Jimmy!
You need a hand with that?
Oh, nah,
this is about as close as I get to the gym these days.
Hey there.
Jimmy Daniels.
I'd shake your hand,
but I'm afraid these boxes wouldn't survive the fall.
Nice to meet you. My name is...
Elizabeth.
Elizabeth, right.
Uh...
Is this your store?
Sure is.
The Bookery has been in my family
for over 70 years.
Wanna come in, look around?
Know what, we're just gonna head to the diner,
but we'll come back after.
Ah, well, feel free to drop by anytime.
Good to meet you, Elizabeth.
Nice to meet you.
Everybody seems so friendly around here.
That's small-town living for you.
It's nice.
It is.
Can I get you a coffee?
You're really comfortable around here, huh?
First job I ever had
was right here at my parents' diner.
Actually, that gazebo you saw earlier,
that's where they got married.
The post office you saw,
that's where I found out I got into medical school.
Yeah, you can say
I know my way around this place.
Come sit down.
Let's sit here.
You can get some food if you want.
Hi, honey.
Oh, hello.
Make yourselves comfortable.
Elizabeth, these are my parents, Bob and Jane.
This is Elizabeth.
Uh, hi. How are you?
Hi, sweetheart.
So where are you from?
Oh, actually, your son and I
are both trying to figure that out right now.
Yeah, Elizabeth is having
a little trouble with her memory.
Sheriff Gaines found her walking alone
on the highway this morning, all by herself.
And you can't remember anything before that?
Nope.
So, where are you planning to stay
while you're in town?
Oh, I hadn't even thought about that.
Is there a hotel or something nearby?
Oh, I'm afraid our hotel is full of tourists
this time of year.
But don't be silly, you can stay with Jeff.
- She can? - Sure.
You've got that beautiful guest house
that never gets used.
Oh, no, I wouldn't want to impose on you
and on your family.
It's just Jeff and the kids.
It's no trouble at all.
No.
You know what,
that's probably not such a bad idea.
A head injury, you know,
I can keep my eye on you.
As long as it's not an imposition, then sure.
Sorry about this,
the kids were supposed to be here by now.
Oh, that's okay. I don't mind waiting.
Hi, Dad.
Hey, guys.
Where have you been?
Fishing on the dock.
I caught four, all by myself.
That's impressive, Alex,
but that's not an excuse for being late, right?
Uh, Dad, you do know
there's a woman sitting in our truck.
Don't mind him.
Hi, I'm Emily.
Do you work with my Dad?
Guys, this is Elizabeth, all right?
She's a patient of mine,
she's going to be staying with us
for a little while.
In our house?
Well, she's gonna be in the guest house.
She's having a difficult time remembering some things,
and we are going to help her.
- Okay? - Okay.
So, you lost your memory?
That's incredible.
Well, I'll tell you what,
it doesn't feel very incredible right now.
Emily, how was your day?
Pretty good.
I got picked to write a one-act play for Fall Fest.
It's not a big deal.
What?
Come on, are you kidding me?
That's a huge deal.
Congrats, honey.
Fall Fest is all-day celebration of the season.
We have it every year
to raise money for the kids' school.
It's pretty awesome.
There's games, every kind of food imaginable.
And there's a really cool ferris wheel.
Wow, that sounds great.
Favorite day of the fall, right kids?
Yup.
And you got picked
to put up a play for the entire town?
Yeah, but I'm worried
since I only have two weeks to write it.
Well, I'm sure you'll rise up to the challenge.
You should come
if you're still here for Fall Fest.
Honey,
that's 12 days from now.
Yeah, I mean, as much as I would love to see your play,
I'm pretty sure my memory will have be back,
and I'll be home.
Okay.
Home sweet home.
I'm gonna go empty the dishwasher.
I'm gonna go clean my room.
Okay.
I thought kids were supposed to hate doing their chores.
Oh, don't be fooled.
They're only doing it to get today's Wi-Fi password.
I change it every day
and give it to them once they finish their chores.
Wow, that seems brilliant and disturbing
all at the same time.
Yeah, it's not easy raising two kids on your own, so...
I hope Alex wasn't bothering you
with his third degree earlier.
Oh, no, of course not.
I mean, I'm a strange woman in hospital scrubs.
I'd be curious, too.
Yeah, their mom passed away
a few years ago,
so he gets a little overprotective of me.
Yeah, of course.
That makes sense.
I'm sorry about your wife.
Thanks.
Here, let me show you around.
Wait, hold on a second.
What is this?
Oh...
You have a canoe?
I do.
It used to be my grandfather's.
Unfortunately, I've neglected her over the years, though.
I don't understand,
your kids do their chores when they're supposed to.
Your property seems meticulously organized,
and yet you have
this amazing 1930 Sullivan Model D
just sitting here in disrepair?
How do you know so much about canoes?
Oh.
You know what, I...
I have no idea.
That's probably a good sign, right?
It is a good sign.
It'd be a great sign
if you could connect it to actual memories.
But if you continue to have those,
your memory will be back in no time.
Okay, well, at least I'm starting
with the really important stuff,
like old canoes.
Come on, let me show you around.
Okay.
Sorry if it's a little dusty in here.
We don't get many guests, but...
No, it's lovely.
Thank you.
I think I can take it from here, Dad.
Okay, great, she's all yours.
You know, you can join us for dinner tonight,
or if you're too tired, you can just go to sleep.
Wow, he's even weirder than usual.
It's nice having you here.
The only other girl that comes over
is my Aunt Linda,
but she always tries to take me shopping
for dresses and makeup,
and I don't really care about that stuff.
What kind of stuff are you into?
I love books.
Fiction mostly.
Oh, so you must spend a lot of time
in that bookstore I saw in town.
Are you kidding,
it's like one of my favorite places.
Maybe we can go before you leave.
Yeah.
Yeah, that'd be great.
Okay, that's my cue.
See you in the morning.
Thank you.
Bye.
You have almost reached Angela Young.
Please leave a message, and I will call you back.
Cynthia, that's, like, the fifth time
you've tried calling her
since she left town a couple days ago.
Aren't you the one who said
she'd contact us
when she's ready to come home
like she always does?
No, you're right.
I just wanted to make sure she's okay.
I still can't believe she decided to take a vacation
the day before the movie premiere.
You know Angela.
That's what she does when she gets stressed out.
But look on the bright-side,
you can always look forward to attending the sequel
in a couple years.
Well, I do like the sound of that.
So, where do you think she went this time?
Ooh, if I had to guess,
I'd say she's hiding out at some spa resort
on the Cape somewhere.
You know, anything to forget her real life for a while.
Well, it's a good thing she's got us
to keep her real life going.
Are you sure I can't help?
Nope.
I think I got it all covered here,
so you go ahead and sit down, all right?
Hey, Elizabeth, would you like to play a game later?
We have a whole closet of 'em.
Dad has to go
to a Town Hall meeting,
so he can't play with us.
You guys, Elizabeth has had a rough couple days,
so we are going to let her get some rest, okay?
Actually, you'd be amazed what 10 hours of sleep
can do for you.
Okay, well, that's good to hear.
All right, pancakes!
This is one of my favorite dishes, right?
Dad, isn't this
the only dish you know how to cook?
Okay, come on, you guys.
I'm sure I'll love it.
I'm starving.
Can I eat three?
Elizabeth gets first serving.
She's our guest.
- That's right. - Thank you, Emily.
Are you going to wear the same hospital clothes
the entire time?
There called scrubs, right, Dad?
Yes, they are.
I promise,
I'm going to get new clothes the minute I get a chance.
You know something,
I'd really like to join you to that Town Hall meeting,
if that's okay.
Uh, okay, I mean, I was thinking
you might need a little more rest today, though.
Oh, any more rest,
and I'll never get out of that bed.
Now, last thing,
the pumpkin-carving competition.
We still need volunteers for registration and judging.
Sign me up,
and Bob, too.
I thought we were taking it easy this year, Janie.
When you rest, you rust.
Your mom's a real spitfire.
You have no idea.
Okay, shifting to new business...
Jeffrey, why don't you start?
Yeah, thank you.
Hey, everyone,
I'm sure most of you have heard by now,
that we have a new visitor in town.
I'd like you to say hello to Elizabeth, please.
Now, she's having some trouble with her memory.
We hope it's going to come back soon,
but in the meantime, Sheriff Gaines and I
were hoping that everybody here
could help us cast a wider net.
That's right.
I've been in touch with the other departments
from the surrounding area,
but nothing's come up yet.
Which is where you guys come in.
I have a couple thousand Instagram followers.
We could post a pic
and see if anyone recognizes her?
That's a great idea, Wendy, let's do that.
Here, Elizabeth, let me take a photo.
Oh, that's seriously bright.
Are you okay?
Yeah.
Yeah, I think so.
Why don't you sit down?
You know, uh, maybe that's enough for now.
Okay, thanks.
Thanks, Wendy.
Skipping stones?
I haven't done that since I was a kid.
Well then, you're seriously missing out.
Wanna try?
Sure.
Ooh...
Only two bounces, huh?
Oh, I'm sorry,
I didn't realize that this was a competition.
Ah, come on...
Here we go.
Three!
Good one.
You okay?
Just frustrated.
Nothing I'm doing is helping me bring my memory back.
You know, I was doing some research this morning,
and apparently some people find it helpful
to write down their experiences.
It helps them kind of jog their memories.
Anyway, I, uh...
I brought you this.
A journal?
Thank you.
You're welcome.
You know, I also just wanted to check your vitals
A house call at your actual house,
I'm impressed.
Just look at me for a sec?
Okay.
- Does that hurt at all? - No.
No.
Okay.
Let me see your hand for a sec.
Just give me your wrist.
Heart rate is a little fast,
but that should normalize by morning.
I'm just going to check your eyes here, okay?
Okay, looks great.
I mean, yeah, everything looks good.
So, you just relax, enjoy your time,
and I'll check you out again in the morning, okay?
Thanks, Doc.
Don't worry,
we're going to get you home.
In the meantime, we are happy to have you here, so...
Thank you.
Hi, uh,
sorry I'm late, I had to change.
- Did I miss breakfast? - Good morning.
No, I left you a plate right there
on top of the stove.
Don't worry about being late.
I'm definitely not a stickler about time, right, kids?
Yeah, right, Dad!
No comment.
So, any luck with your memory
this morning?
Uh, no, not yet.
Apparently, my brain's late, too.
So, listen, we're going to head into town.
Emily's gonna go to the library
to work on her play,
and Alex is going to go hang out with my parents at the diner.
Do you want to...
catch a ride in with us?
It's probably better than hanging around here all day.
Um...
Yeah, sure. Why not?
Bye, Dad.
We'll meet you at the diner at 5:00.
Okay, sounds good.
You make sure you get Alex to Nana's, right?
- Yeah, okay. - Okay.
Bye.
Are you sure you're going to be okay by yourself?
You're more than welcome to come down,
hang out at the office if you want.
Uh, no, thanks,
I think I'm going to head over to the library
and do some more research,
see what comes to me.
Okay.
You know, just so you know, uh,
Kevin, the sheriff you met yesterday,
he's doing all that he can for you as well.
I know.
I just, I could barely sleep last night,
thinking about
how there could be somebody out there
looking for me as we speak.
I completely understand.
Then again, I could also be a recluse
that lives alone somewhere.
Oh, I doubt that.
Either way, I just...
I feel like I need to do something.
Okay, well, good luck,
and if you need to pick up anything afterwards,
you can find them on these two blocks.
You've got my office down there
a thrift store,
farmer's market.
Great, okay,
well, I'll take it from here.
Okay, sounds good.
Oh, except, uh...
I don't have any money.
I'm sorry.
I swear, I'll pay you back.
You know what, don't even worry about it.
There you go.
Thanks.
Hey, you never know, maybe I'll find out
that I'm an heiress to a great fortune.
I'm going to go out on a limb and say probably not.
- You never know. - No, it's true.
You know what,
I don't care if you even have a dime to your name,
I just want to make sure you get home safe.
Amen to that.
Okay, I'll see you later.
Bye.
Hey...
you're the woman who lost her memory, aren't you?
Yeah.
Yes...
Word travels fast around here.
Oh, I actually took your photo at Town Hall.
Oh, right.
Hi!
I'm Wendy.
I'm... Elizabeth.
Hi.
Is there anything I can do to help?
Oh, you're sweet.
I, um, I've been online for hours,
but I think I've officially run out of things to search for.
Yeah, how can you search for yourself
when you don't even know your name
or where you came from?
Yeah, exactly.
I think I just need a little break.
What are you working on?
I'm starting college in the fall,
so I have to fill out all these housing forms online.
Oh, that's great.
What school?
Emerson,
for Communications.
The campus is literally in the heart of Boston.
In Boston...
Everything okay?
- Hi! - Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, I, uh...
I just realized I have to be somewhere.
Good luck with school.
Thanks.
Hey!
Uh, any news on Elizabeth?
Not yet.
I sent her DNA to the lab in Concord,
but that won't be ready for a week.
Hmm.
It doesn't make any sense, does it?
She's been missing four days, and no one's looking for her?
Well, there could be a bunch of reasons.
Maybe she lives alone.
Yeah, no, I was thinking about that,
but then, you know,
what about like, family, or friends, or co-workers?
Well, it's anybody's guess at this point.
Let's just give it some time.
Yeah, I guess that makes sense.
I'm just, you know, trying to figure it out.
Yeah.
I noticed.
Hey, Emily.
How's it going?
Not that great.
I can't seem to figure out
how to turn my story into a play for Fall Fest.
Oh, well, maybe I can help.
What's it about?
Well, it's set in a school,
and the lead is a popular 13-year-old girl named Erin
who loses a pair of concert tickets
for a show that evening.
In order to find the tickets,
she has no choice
but to ask for the help of several classmates
who she's never even talked to before.
She doesn't end up finding the tickets,
but she does end up with two new best friends.
I like it.
So she ends up gaining more than she loses.
Huh?
Well, in other words,
the concert would have only lasted her one night,
but the friendships could end up
lasting her a lifetime.
Oh...
Yes.
That's it.
So, in order to set up the story,
you can have a scene
where you show Erin and her popular friends
not speaking so kindly
about the two students who end up helping her.
That way we can quickly explain where all the characters stand.
And at the end,
they could maybe have a scene
where Erin defends her new friends
from the popular ones.
I think you might be a natural at this.
And who knows,
you might be a theatre teacher in your real life.
Hmm.
Well, I'm actually headed to the thrift shop,
for a new wardrobe,
so I'm really hoping I'm a fashion designer.
Do you wanna come with me in case I'm wrong?
Sure, that'd be fun.
Uh-huh, that's... different.
Emily, you're allowed to speak your mind.
I promise, you won't hurt my feelings.
I know, but I want you to buy what you like.
You're the one who's gonna be wearing it.
That's a good point.
But I still want your opinion.
What, I don't get an opinion?
- Hey, Dad. - Hey.
Hello, Dr. Callan,
Are you checking up on us?
I just finished work at the clinic early,
was just walking by, saw you girls in the window,
and thought,
you know, since I have such an amazing sense of style...
Yeah, right, Dad.
What?
Something tells me
you're stretching the truth there, Dr. Callan.
Maybe just a little.
Well, good, since you're here,
we're going to put you to work,
maybe you can help us decide what my new wardrobe should be.
Great. Okay.
Oh, look at this,
how about that?
Dad, are you kidding?
Elizabeth would never wear something like that.
Yeah, Emily's right.
I don't know what my identity is,
but it doesn't involve that suit.
Right.
Okay, well, how about the three of us split up,
and meet back at the change rooms
in, like, 10 minutes?
Okay, sounds like a plan.
Sounds good.
Good.
Ooh...
- Mm-mm, no. - No?
Yeah?
Too much?
Or, actually, you know,
maybe it's a little too much.
Oh, that's nice, but it is pretty shiny.
Yeah, I don't think so.
I think this is it.
I love it.
Wow, it's, uh...
it-it looks really good.
It's nice.
Okay.
What's for dinner?
Meatloaf from the diner.
Nana's secret recipe.
It's not really a secret, Dad.
Nana tells everyone that recipe now.
Right, okay, well, I guess I stand corrected.
Well, secret or not, it smells delicious.
Alex, bud, can you turn the TV off for me, please?
Oh, no worries, I got it.
Okay, thank you.
Did you guys put the utensils out?
- -Athena, it's a superstorm, you've gotta get us outta here!
I'm trying, but the crystal isn't working.
Well, you'd better figure something out
'cause we don't have much time!
Please just help us once more!
You okay?
I...
I think I just had a memory from my real life,
but I don't know how to connect the dots.
Okay, you're putting so much pressure on yourself
without realizing that you've been through a trauma.
So, what do I do?
My suggestion is,
you stop trying so hard to remember,
and trust that it will all come back to you.
You're not just saying that to make me feel better, are you?
You might be a therapist in your real life,
but I'm a practicing MD in this one.
Now, let's just go sit down
and enjoy dinner, okay?
Okay.
Give me a minute.
Okay.
Thank you.
Hey, guys...
Is everything okay?
Yeah, everything's fine.
Everybody got on here?
Yeah.
We went to the thrift store.
Lucky...
And what is the arc again?
It's basically the emotional journey
of your lead character
over the course of the play.
So it's when I take a character from being mean
to compassionate
by the end the story?
Yeah, that's right. You got it.
This is so helpful.
Good, I'm glad.
Hey.
What are you guys doing up so early?
Hey, Dad.
Elizabeth is helping me with my play for Fall Fest.
She didn't wake you, did she?
- No, no, I was up. - Okay.
Has Prince Alex graced us with his presence yet?
Not yet,
but I heard him playing video games this morning.
Okay. Alex, time for breakfast, bud!
Are you sure you're okay taking these two?
Because I can drive them down, drop them off...
Oh, no, it's the least I can do.
Well, you say that now,
but wait till you try to get him to do...
well, anything.
We'll be fine.
All right.
Well, this is my cell phone,
work number,
and if you need my dad,
he'll be here within minutes, okay?
This is very professional, Dr. Callan.
You mean annoyingly organized?
I prefer responsible.
Whatever.
Whatever you!
You just be good, all right?
Okay.
You know where to reach me.
Okay.
Hey, what's up?
Looks like we have the whole day together.
What do you wanna do?
Okay, well, you're obviously busy.
I just came by to see if you wanted to help me out
with this secret mission I'm about to start,
but, um, we could each do our own thing today
if you want.
What kind of secret mission?
This is the secret project?
Yeah, it's a surprise for your dad.
All she needs is some oil, some varnish,
and a few holes patched.
Sounds like a lot of work to me.
Well, it won't be easy,
but if we work together,
we can get this done in no time.
You know what the best part is?
It's great for fishing.
Really?
Mm-hmm.
Unless you have to get back to your video game?
Nah, the game can wait.
Great, okay.
Okay, go around that way.
That sounds terrific.
So, when do you think we can expect a new outline
from Angela?
Oh, uh...
I'd say, probably within a few weeks?
Great.
Because if the film takes off,
the demand for the next book will be extraordinary.
Amazing.
And not to worry,
Angela knows this is a top priority.
Thank you guys so much for coming in.
Appreciate it.
Thank you.
Thanks. Good to see you.
Love those glasses.
Okay, man.
I trust you.
Always a pleasure, thank you.
Bye, thank you.
See you later.
Bye.
Brad, it's been four days
without any communication.
She has never gone this long without talking to me.
Wait, aren't you the one who said, "Stop worrying, Brad,
she just needs some time alone"?
I think we should go to the police.
Whoa, Cynthia, Cynth, calm down, she's fine, okay?
And actually,
we're getting a lot more work done without her.
I'm sorry, but I cannot keep pretending
like it's business as usual.
Okay, I hear you.
I hear you.
How about this, how about,
if we don't hear anything in the next 48 hours,
we go the police?
But until then, let's just assume
that she's at a relaxation spa somewhere,
getting a seaweed wrap or something.
So I'm curious,
why did you guys stop using the canoe?
I remember my dad and mom
used to take it out on the water
to watch the sunsets.
Maybe it just reminds him of her too much.
That must have been a really tough time
for everybody.
Yeah, our Nana and Grandpa stayed a lot back then,
and I remember we made lots of cookies.
Well, hopefully this surprise will do the trick.
Yeah, he's gonna love it!
Well, we've been working on it for three days,
he'd better love it.
Hey.
Hey, uh, any new developments
on Elizabeth?
Actually, I was following up on a missing persons lead
out of Tallahassee,
but it turned out to be someone else.
Hmm.
But for now, you and the kids
like having her at the house, right?
Yeah.
No, she's been great.
This morning,
she was helping Emily with her play,
and Alex, well,
Alex hasn't put her in a closet yet,
so that's a good thing, right?
Yeah. Yeah, I'd say that's progress.
I tell you though, man, it's crazy
ever since she's been staying with us,
it's like we're just... happier than we've been
in a long time, you know?
What's so crazy about that?
That's a good thing.
I know.
That's the problem.
I worry about the kids,
you know, when she eventually has to leave.
Jeff, you and I go way back.
Take my advice.
Don't worry about it so much.
Just enjoy the time you do have with her.
You're right, you're right.
And besides, right,
she's got some friends and family out there
that are looking for her right now,
and that's a good thing, so...
Yeah.
Thanks, buddy.
Watch your step. Don't look...
This is a little dramatic, don't you think?
Are you kidding?
It is not nearly dramatic enough for what you're about to see.
Okay, why do get the feeling
I'm about to walk into the water...
Okay, no more talking, Doctor.
All right.
Keep your eyes closed.
Okay, on the count of three...
Don't look.
One...
Two...
Three!
Surprise!
Wow.
It's pretty cool, right, Dad?
Oh, no...
you don't like it.
Oh, I shouldn't have done any of this...
- I'm-I'm so sorry... - No, no, no...
No, it's...
it's beautiful.
It's...
exactly like when my grandfather brought it home
for the first time.
Well, it turns out
I probably know quite a bit about canoes
in my real life.
But honestly,
I could not have done it without Emily and Alex.
This brings back so many memories.
Well...
maybe it's time for you to make some new ones.
Why don't you take Alex out for her first test drive?
What do you say, bud, you want to do that?
- Yeah! - Okay.
But you gotta go next with me, okay?
- Okay. - All right.
Should I go get the life jackets?
Do that.
I'll come with you.
Thank you.
It is beautiful out here, huh, son?
Yeah.
Oh, man, I miss being out here,
that's for sure.
They look pretty good out there, huh?
Yeah.
They look happy.
Yeah.
See that spot right over there?
Uh-huh.
That's where your Uncle Jordan and I got stuck
when we were kids.
What, really?
Yeah. Got in trouble that day.
I like it here, Dad.
Yeah, me too, son.
Whoa, did you see that fish jumping?
Where?
Right there.
Okay.
Ah, it's beautiful.
Emily, what does this remind you of?
The picnic at Fisher Cove?
Exactly. Remember that?
With the ants all over our sandwiches?
Oh, my gosh, we ate cookies for lunch!
That was the best.
Okay, for the record,
we don't normally get to eat cookies for lunch,
but it was a last resort.
Oh, don't worry, I believe you, Dr. Callan.
What's that supposed to mean?
Well, you just seem like
a predictably "by-the-books" kinda guy,
that's all.
Okay, first of all,
I am not a by-the-books kind of guy.
Oh, really?
What?
I can be spontaneous.
Yeah, right, Dad.
What? I can!
Okay.
Okay, why don't you prove it?
Okay, I will.
What? Now?
Mm-hmm.
Okay.
Um...
All right.
You ready for this?
Whoa, Dad...
- Dad, what are you doing? - Where are you going?
You're just kidding, right?
Dad...
What are you doing?
No way, he's just kidding.
Oh, my gosh!
Whoo-hoo-hoo!
Yes, Dad!
You see?
Well...
this is me.
Yup.
Oh, here, let me give you your jacket.
Oh, no, you, uh, you keep it.
I know where to find you.
Thanks again for today, Jeff.
I honestly wouldn't change a thing.
Me neither.
Hey, Dad!
Can I have a snack before bed?
Alex, it's past your bed...
Yeah, I'll be right in!
Okay.
I should probably go.
Yeah, of course.
Sleep well.
You too.
Hey.
Hi!
Elizabeth, can I talk to you about something?
Yeah.
Sure.
What's up?
Here's the thing.
I like you.
The kids like you, that's obvious.
But first and foremost,
I'm your doctor, you are my patient,
and as long as that is the case,
I have a code of ethics that I live by,
which includes not getting romantically involved
with anyone under my care.
Right.
Yeah, no, I-I agree.
100%.
Good. That's great.
- Good. 'Kay? - Yup.
Yup.
I mean, as we both know,
I could have a boyfriend or a husband.
Who knows, I may even have kids of my own.
Mm-hmm. Yeah, that-that's true.
Well, good so it's settled,
From now on, we'll just keep everything very...
professional.
Yeah.
I think that's probably for the best, you know?
- Yeah. - Yeah.
So, I assume you're going to go to work?
Yup.
I'll, uh, I'll stay here,
and I'll help the kids with Fall Fest.
Yeah, good, that sounds great.
All is well, so...
Oh, right, 'cause tonight's the final rehearsal
before the big show tomorrow.
Is Emily so excited?
Emily is so excited.
Well, go to work...
- Yes, I'll just go. - Yeah.
I think that makes...
- It makes... - It'll help.
- Yeah. - Yeah, okay.
So, what do we do first?
Well, we're going to, um,
re-trace every single step they made
since the minute you came into school today.
Good luck,
I can barely remember what I had for lunch.
I'm sorry,
would my character even say that?
Sabrina, can you just please stay in character?
I hate to say it, but, um...
I was kind of thinking the same thing,
Emily.
I didn't do anything.
So, now what am I going to do?
Maybe it's not working.
I don't know.
You know what,
why don't we take a little break.
Emily and I will work on the script,
and we'll get you a new one tonight, okay?
- Okay. - Bye.
Hey, don't worry,
you still have time to fix this.
Not really.
The play is tomorrow.
What am I even doing?
I'm gonna embarrass myself
in front of the entire town.
No. No, you're not.
You're gonna be great, you'll see.
Thanks.
I don't know how would have done all of this
without your help.
Aw... that's sweet.
No, I'm serious.
It's important to me that you're gonna be here tomorrow
to help me get through this.
Okay?
Of course.
I wouldn't miss it for the world.
So, you say
Ms. Young has done something like this before?
Yeah, a...
a few times,
but only to unwind.
And just for, like, a weekend or so.
Okay.
Let's see...
I have Angela Young,
5'7", 126 pounds?
Green eyes, dark-brown hair,
last seen leaving in a blue Pontiac,
October 3rd,
Tuesday.
Is there anything else?
We mentioned that she's a very successful author,
right?
Yes, sir, you did,
several times, yeah.
Is there anything else we can do on our end
to help?
No, just let us get this missing person's report
into the system,
and we'll see what pops up.
Okay?
And don't worry.
We're doing everything we can.
Great.
Thank you.
Yeah, no problem.
Are you hard at work,
or hardly working over here?
Oh, neither.
I'm just writing in my journal,
hoping that I'd trigger a memory or two.
Sounds like you deserve a break.
Well, you don't have to ask me twice.
Mm, something smells delicious.
That's good timing, Hon'.
I just popped them out of the oven.
Mm. Oh, my gosh,
these are heaven.
Mm-hmm.
The salty caramel...
Are these, um, are these pecans?
Yes.
They're absolutely, um...
Elizabeth, what's wrong?
I don't know, um...
Yeah, my throat just feels...
Here, have some water.
Call Jeff.
Elizabeth...
She's alive!
She's awake.
What happened?
Well, you had an allergic reaction
to the nuts in my mom's brownies.
Well, Nana does say
they're to die for.
Okay, why don't you go up to the house
and get ready for the festival
with your sister, okay?
See you later, Elizabeth.
Bye.
You gave us quite the scare last night.
How are you feeling?
I'm okay.
I have a headache,
and my throat's really itchy.
Yeah, that's normal.
It should be gone shortly.
Thank you for taking care of me.
Again.
Not a problem.
Part of the job.
Is that all it is?
No.
It's not.
I'll go make some coffee, okay?
Okay.
We've got a big day ahead of us.
I decided
I am going to say something here on stage at the end.
But do you think a speech is too much?
No, not at all.
You're the voice of the story.
And you're pretty adorable,
but I don't know, I might be a little biased.
Dad!
Get over here, kiddo.
Yeah!
See, the whole gang is here, right?
What are you doing here so early?
Yeah, I thought you couldn't come
until after work.
I don't know,
I guess I thought I'd take the day off work
and spend it with my favorite people, right?
Besides, I've got the office forwarding my calls,
so technically I'm still at work.
Well, I guess we'll take what we can get.
Listen, I was just about to go help your mom.
Are you going to stick around here for a bit?
I'm not going anywhere today.
Okay.
Well, I'll be right back then.
Okay.
What are you guys smiling about?
You.
What?
A guy's not allowed to smile?
Come on, we know, Dad.
You know what?
What's going on with you and Elizabeth.
You like her.
It's totally obvious,
the way you smile all the time now.
It's cool, Dad. We like her, too.
Okay... listen.
Guys, I-I know that everybody really likes Elizabeth,
but you've got to remember that, you know,
she's not from here,
and her memory's going to come back,
and she's going to have to leave,
okay?
You never know.
Yeah, you both said she would be gone by now,
but here we are,
almost two weeks later at Fall Fest,
and she's still here.
Okay, I just want you to be prepared, though,
just in case...
You worry to much, Dad.
Trust us, everything's gonna work out.
All right.
Get in here.
Yeah.
Hey...
I thought you'd be up to your eyeballs
in pumpkins by now.
They're still carving.
I'm trying to enjoy the quiet while I can.
Good for you.
Do you mind if I join you?
No, of course.
Look at you,
you've been writing up a storm.
Oh, this? Yeah, I know,
I'm running out of pages.
I just want to write everything down
before I forget.
Maybe we need to add "writer"
to your list of possible professions.
Yeah, I guess anything is possible.
Ah, it's a pretty special town, Hopedale, isn't it?
It is, indeed.
I couldn't imagine living anywhere else.
You're not the first person I've heard say that.
It's true.
Look, whatever happens,
I'm glad you're here, sweetheart.
Thank you.
Sorry to interrupt,
but have either of you seen Emily?
Steve's having some trouble hanging up the backdrop,
and he needs some direction.
Oh, well, that's my cue to go find Emily.
I'll see you later, Jane.
- Good luck. - Thanks.
Kevin, what's up?
Well, we've got a lead, buddy.
I'm down in the ravine up the 146,
about a half mile away from where we found Elizabeth.
Some kids were hiking
and found an abandoned car
smashed into a tree.
We ran the plate,
and it belongs to the sister of a Boston woman
who's on the Missing Person's list.
Looks like it's our girl, Jeff.
Wow, that's...
That's great.
Yeah, I'll follow up with Boston
and get back to you.
Of course, yeah.
That-that sounds good.
Uh... good work, Kevin.
All right, bye.
Hello?
Yes?
They found the car.
Uh-huh.
Yeah, okay, uh, thank you.
We're on our way.
What? Is she okay?
They only found the car,
but a woman showed up
in the nearby town of Hopedale, Vermont,
with amnesia two weeks earlier.
Grab your stuff.
Vermont?
- Hey, Elizabeth! - Hey.
You finally came by the store.
Yeah, I don't know what took me this long.
Have you seen Emily?
I think she's in the back.
Ah, thank you.
"Time Visitor..."
"Angela Young grew up in Cape Cod, Massachusetts..."
"Angela has always seen Athena as a reflection of herself."
That's me.
This is my book.
Angela Young!
Ms. Young, we need you on set.
I'm Angela Young.
Elizabeth?
Elizabeth!
Hi.
Hi, I, uh,
I've been looking everywhere for you.
How did you find me?
Well, you...
you said this was your favorite place.
What are you reading?
The "Time Visitor" series.
Have you heard of them?
Yeah...
Yeah, I think so.
Big movie coming out, right?
I love these books.
They make me want to become a better writer.
You are a good writer, Emily.
And you're about to stage your very first play,
so why are you hiding in a bookstore?
The whole town's gonna be there.
What if they hate it?
No...
Look, I know you feel vulnerable,
but you did the very best you could,
and now it's time to share it with everyone.
What if I forget all my lines?
Oh, you're not going to forget your lines.
This will be an amazing experience for you.
Oh, sure, then how about we trade places?
Hah! Not a chance.
But I will be right there with you the whole time.
Come on, let's go.
Dad, what do you think?
Wow, it kind of looks like me
in the morning, doesn't it?
- Hey. - Hey.
Um, I was looking for you.
Is everything okay?
Yup, yup, crisis averted.
Emily's back on stage now.
Elizabeth,
look at my pumpkin. What do you think?
I love it! It's great.
Good work.
Hey, bud, listen, uh,
I just need to talk to Elizabeth for a minute.
Would you mind just giving us a moment?
Good luck.
Listen, there's something I need to tell you...
Wait, hold on,
me first.
You know, I've been hearing about Fall Fest
ever since I got here,
and so far, it's living up to my expectations.
Good. That's great, um...
Wait, Jeff.
You've been my doctor for the past two weeks,
and I have done everything you asked me to do,
haven't I?
You have.
Okay, well...
it's my turn now.
I have something very important to tell you, too,
but I want us to wait.
Let's just have a few hours to ourselves
before we say what we need to say.
Deal?
Deal.
Okay.
Okay, let's go...
let's go have some fun.
Okay.
Three, two, one...
Oh, you ready?
No, you have to get in there...
Hey, you're cheating!
♪ Nothing else seems to matter... ♪
You actually did it!
♪ When our hearts beat together ♪
♪ Oh I... want to kiss you again ♪
♪ I swear your lips are the sweetest ♪
♪ Let's get high on the feeling ♪
♪ Oh, I... want to kiss you again... ♪
Whoa!
♪ You lean in ♪
♪ The rush begins... ♪
♪ ...And I can hardly breathe ♪
Wow.
Oh, wow.
♪ In your eyes ♪
♪ I'm in paradise ♪
♪ A place made just for you and me... ♪
This has been the most perfect day.
No matter what happens,
this is how I want to remember
my time here in Hopedale.
This is how I want to remember you.
I feel the same.
Have a seat.
You know, having you here the past couple weeks
has been wonderful for the kids, but...
it's also pulled me out of a shell
that I'd built around myself.
I'll always be thankful that you came here.
Oh, look up,
you're gonna miss the surprise.
Wow.
This is just...
This is amazing.
It is.
I have to tell you something.
Wait, hold that thought.
It's time for Emily's play.
- Oh! - We have to go.
If they were my real friends,
they wouldn't have ditched me,
I'm glad I met you.
Sorry we didn't end up finding those tickets.
I think I found something much more important.
In the end,
Erin's dilemma would allow her to meet two people
that she would end up knowing for the rest of her life.
She would also learn one of life's greatest lessons.
Never judge a book by its cover.
Thank you all for coming to my first play.
Hopefully, it won't be my last play.
But I also want to thank Elizabeth for all her help.
I could not have done this without her.
Elizabeth, can you please come up here
and say a few words?
I don't think you have a choice.
Here you go.
Hello, everyone.
Um...
I'm not much of a public speaker,
but, uh... I'd like to thank all of you
for the incredible support you've shown me
since I arrived.
And I'd especially like to thank Emily,
and her amazing family...
for opening your home and your hearts to me.
I'll never forget you.
But I have something important to tell you,
something I just learned about myself.
Earlier today, my memory finally returned,
and it turns out that my real name is...
Angela!
Angela, it's me!
Oh, we missed you, sweetie!
Angela?
Are you ready to come home?
Yes, of course.
Hi!
Uh, hi, everyone.
Sorry for interrupting the festivities,
but my name is Brad Thompson,
and this is actually my girlfriend,
Angela Young,
and she's been missing for two weeks,
but we finally found her.
I'll talk to you later.
Hey.
How long did you know?
Just before I met you at the festival.
I'm sorry.
It's okay.
I've known since Sheriff Gaines told me
that they found your car earlier this afternoon.
I guess we both knew
that it was going to happen eventually, right?
Yeah.
Jeff, I never meant...
Don't.
Me neither.
Make sure you say goodbye to the kids
before you leave, yeah?
Yeah. I will.
Maybe name a couple characters after us.
Are you really leaving?
Yes, Alex.
It's time for me to go home.
I always wanted a signed copy.
You bet.
You take care of your dad for me, okay?
So good to meet you.
Thank you for everything.
You be good.
You ready?
Yeah.
All right.
This is great. We got you.
We are getting so many interview requests.
Are you getting this Cynthia?
Yeah, my phone is seriously blowing up.
Oh, hang on a sec.
Yeah, go for Brad.
Uh-huh, yeah, no, she's back.
Uh-huh.
Tomorrow, yeah, I think we can do that.
Let me just, uh...
I'm gonna transfer you to Cynthia,
'cause I'm getting another call.
Can you take this?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Hey, it's Cynthia.
Gail, how are you?
Hey!
So, you go live in five minutes.
Terrific.
Why do I even have to do this interview?
They don't care about my work.
All they want to talk about is Vermont.
Exactly.
"Best-selling author loses memory after accident"?
It's a great story!
Yeah, but I don't want to exploit what happened to me
just to sell more books.
Angela, you're a storyteller.
You can't leave out the best part of the story.
Look, just a couple more interviews, okay?
You promise?
I promise.
Hey...
I really missed you.
You did?
Of course.
Let's do this.
Now, Angela, we've talked about the books
and the movie,
but we haven't heard about what happened in Vermont.
Well, I'm still trying to figure that out myself.
I mean, you lost your memory.
What was it like?
After the accident, and the amnesia that followed,
I was consumed only with figuring out who I was,
and how to get home.
But with the help of some very special people
in Hopedale,
I soon learned to make the most of the experience
while it lasted.
What an extraordinary story.
Any message
for the people who helped you?
I, uh...
Well, I, um...
I just hope they realize
what an impact they've had on my life.
That's it.
Ange, you were amazing!
Can you believe that
they already want you back on the show
in a month?
Oh, be sure to mention your Twitter handle next time,
so we can promote the new book.
We really want those Amazon sales to spike...
I'm not doing the show tomorrow, Brad.
What?
Oh, uh, no problem.
No problem,
we can save it all for The Today Show.
No, I'm not doing any more interviews.
I can't do this anymore.
Got it. You need a break.
We can finally... we can take that trip to the Berkshires.
You can write from the road, I can...
No, I can't do this...
anymore.
Oh.
I see.
Brad, you are so good at managing my career.
We have the perfect...
business relationship.
But let's be honest,
you care more about selling books
than being my boyfriend.
Look, Ange, I'll be the first to admit
our relationship, it could use some work, but...
overall, we make a pretty good team,
don't we?
Something happened in Vermont.
I finally figured out who I was,
and who I truly want to be with,
and as much as I try to go back to the way things were,
I just, I just can't.
I'm sorry.
It's okay,
I knew something had changed
the day we picked you up in Hopedale.
I... I could see it in your eyes.
I want you to be happy, Ange.
You deserve it.
You took me places I never even dreamt for myself.
I'll always remember what you did for me.
Hey, promise me one thing.
Don't stop writing.
Oh, Cynthia!
I don't have time to explain,
but I need to borrow your car.
What? Again?
Come on, it's brand-new,
and we have clearly established
that you're not a very good driver.
I promise, I will never ask again.
Okay, don't hold me to that.
You're going back to Vermont, aren't you?
Yeah, how'd you know?
- Is it that obvious? - Mm-hmm.
Thank you. I love you, sis.
I love you, too.
Oh, hang on!
Give me your arm.
Oh...
"Angela".
You know, just in case.
Thank you.
- Bye. - Bye.
Okay, toss it back.
Angela!
Hi!
- Angela! - Hi!
We thought we'd never see you again.
I know, I'm sorry I left in such a rush.
So dramatic, right?
Like something out of your books.
Ah, speaking of...
I started working on a new series.
The Discovery."
"Dedicated to Emily, Alex, and Jeff,
who helped me find my way."
That's us!
Yup.
It's only the first few chapters,
but I would love for you to give it a read,
get your thoughts.
You know, writer to writer.
Are you kidding? I'm gonna read it right now.
Hey, kids!
Want ice cream?
Thanks!
Hi.
What are you doing here?
I thought you got out of work at 6:00.
I decided to loosen my schedule when you left,
you know, to spend more time
doing the things that make me happy.
Yeah, me too.
I saw your interview on TV.
You did?
I was awful, wasn't I?
No, it was good.
Did we really have an impact on you?
Yeah.
Yeah, you did.
Look, Jeff...
I didn't know who I was
or where I belonged
when I first got here...
But I do now.
What about your real life?
This is my real life.
Hey.
Go sit down...
