Alice, you ready?
[Alice] I look ridiculous!
Get in here. Let me see.
Aw. You don't look ridiculous.
You look like a conductor in training.
Get it? Conductor in train-ing? [chuckles]
Yeah, I got it. I'm not going.
No, you don't. We have a deal.
You come with me to the Pasadena Train Expo,
and I buy that outfit that Tasha's been wanting.
The things I do for that doll.
What happened to you?
We were trying to fix my car.
You know the oil goes on the inside, right?
Oh, yeah. There's some in there.
Problem is, there's a whole lot more everywhere else.
I'm gonna have to hire a mechanic, but that's gonna be expensive.
Yeah.
Come on, Grandpa. Help a grandson out.
No way.
This trip is costing me a fortune.
You know, if I could do it all over again,
I'd open a hotel instead of a restaurant.
That's where the real money is.
[chuckles]
Let's go, Alice.
You do have money, right?
Tasha's got her eye on some red bottoms.
She may be a doll, but she don't play.
Hey, Neil, are you thinking what I'm thinking?
[scoffing] Yeah. [normal] Tasha's so high maintenance. Ugh.
No.
Hotels are where the money is.
We can rent out Grandpa Vic's and Alice's rooms for the night
and make money to get my car running.
We're opening a hotel in your house?
You're saying it like it's a bad idea.
Oh, sorry. [clears throat]
-We're opening a hotel in your house. -There you go.
♪ Ha ha! Let me tell you something♪
♪ Had my vision all worked out♪
-♪ But then life had other plans ♪ - Tell 'em, Mom♪

[laughs] Yep, that's us.
[bell dings]
Ooh! The sweet sound of money in my pockets.
[knocking on door]
What took you so long? Guests are gonna be here any minute.
Oh, I stopped by the hotel my dad runs to pick up some supplies.
He was excited that I was finally showing an interest in his business
until he realized I was just there to take a bunch of tiny soaps. [chuckles]
I can't believe our ad was up half an hour and we already booked guests.
What can I say? I write a good ad.
Hospitality runs in my family.
My uncle's been sleeping on our couch for six months,
and have we told him to leave? No, we have not.
Look, I got fresh sheets on the bed, fresh towels in the bathroom,
and switched out Grandpa's pillows and mine.
Oh. Does he have bad pillows?
No, he has great pillows.
I've been trying to get my hands on 'em for months.
I still feel like we're forgetting something.
No. No, Nikki.
The pop-up is tonight.
Do not get on that private jet. I need you at work.
Your mom! How are we gonna run a secret hotel with her here?
Relax, all right? She's been so busy with her fashion thing,
she won't realize what we're up to.
Girl, no! We cannot have an office peacock.
Oh, hey, Alice. Hey, Dad.
Have fun with your trains.
I can't believe she thought that guy was Grandpa.
-She didn't even realize that he's-- -Not bald?
Yeah, that's what I was gonna say.
Okay, my fellow future She-EOs, first on the agenda,
please welcome out trial member, Ivy Chen.
Thank you.
You know, my dad was a Bayside She-EO.
Of course, back then, they were the He-EOs,
because, you know, the patriarchy.
Yes, yes. We all hate the patriarchy.
So, Ivy, as part of your trial,
what inspiring businesswoman have you arranged for us to shadow?
Oh, you're gonna love this.
My mom is a podiatrist, and we're gonna visit her clinic.
Today, she's removing ingrown toenails.
Pretty inspiring, right?
Whoo-hoo!
She's joking, she's joking. You're joking.
Look, we go to the same church, so my mom made me vouch for you.
-Yeah. -Please,
tell me you have something better than toenails.
Oh. [scoffs] Of course I do.
Um, I
Ms. Baxter.
-Hey, Ivy. -Hey.
Let me introduce you to the Bayside She-EO Club.
-Ooh, the "She-EO Club." -Mm-hmm
You know, that sounds like a female-empowerment cereal.
Get it? "She-E-Os." Get it?
You should write that down. It's funny.
Ms. Baxter is one of San Francisco's hottest new fashion designers.
Oh, stop it. Thank you.
And today, we'll be shadowing her.
Today? That's a She-E-No.
Oh. Okay. Wait, I'll--
Ms. Baxter? Okay, please?
Every Bayside She-EO has gone to an Ivy League college,
but I'm not in the club yet. I need to impress them.
[sighs] I've been there.
Awkward girl wanting to chill with the popular crowd.
-Yeah, so you were-- -Yeah, I was. I was popular.
-That's not what your dad says. -Do you want my help or not?
-Yes, please. -Okay.
So, I was gonna get Tasha a tiny backpack,
but now I'm thinking a new clutch.
'Cause you know that girl is always purse first.
She should get a briefcase 'cause Tasha needs to get a job.
Oh, Pop-Pop, the GPS says
that you need to get on the highway at the next on-ramp.
Next on-ramp? No, that's the long way.
But the GPS says--
I've been driving to the Train Expo for 15 years.
I think I know how to get there.
Make a right at the dead tree, go past Louie's Gas Station,
and keep going till you see a really ugly house.
But the GPS says that you need--
I don't need GPS. I got my own GPS.
Grandpa Positioning System.
And it's telling me, "Keep going till I see the dead tree,"
which should be right around
Where my dead tree?
-Are we lost? -No. No, we're fine.
I'll know where I am once I see the lady selling puppies and tomatoes.
We are so lost.
Yo. Got our guests all settled in.
This gonna be the easiest money I ever made. [chuckles]
What's with the cookies?
Fresh-baked cookies are one of The Booker Inn's signature amenities.
Neil, we don't have any amenities.
Then what am I burning my mouth on?
Oh.
[bell dings]
Mr. Jorgenson, what can we do for you?
Well, first of all, we love the room.
It's got a real grandpa aesthetic.
And also, we'd like to book a snorkel lesson.
S-s-snorkel lesson?
Uh-huh. Jus-Just one moment.
Yo, we offer snorkel lessons?
Booker, we are one of San Francisco's premier boutique lodging destinations.
Our amenities are what separate us from our competition.
We don't have any competition.
Yes. And with that attitude, someone's gonna be Employee of the Month.
Boop.
[bell dings]
Hi. My wife would like to sign up for the Mexican cooking class.
Ah. Very good, sir.
Would you like the Four-Course Fiestaor the Eating La Vida Locapackage?
Neil, a word.
[speaking Spanish]
Neil, what else did you put in our ad?
-"Turndown service"? -Mm-hmm.
"Mud baths"?
"'70s Throwback Disco-cise"?
All the top hotels do it.
We have to if we're gonna stay competitive.
We are not a real hotel! I'm just in this for the money.
My dad says that's the worst reason to get into the hospitality business.
-It's hard work. -[bell dings]
[stammers] It wasn't supposed to be.
Ah. The fashion industry is a fast-paced business
filled with glamour and excitement.
-Are there models here? -No.
-Photographers? -No.
-Is there going to be a fashion show? -No.
No, there's no fashion show, okay?
I'm taking you to where it all starts.
Ooh. Origin story. That's exciting.
-With a needle and thread. -Or not.
Look who didn't get on the jet.
Are you proud of me? Making good decisions.
What are those?
Well, those are the great business minds of tomorrow.
I'm inspiring them.
Are you sure? They look bored.
Well, that's because they haven't seen the wall of thread.
Wow!
The wall of thread.
-Cool. -[giggles] I know.
Well, wha-what-- What? What is that? Is that blue?
-Well, to the untrained eye, it's blue -Oh.
but to a fashion designer, that is cobalt.
Ah.
Wait, no it's not. I don't think that's cobalt.
That might be sapphire.
Or is that robin's egg?
Tell Ariana I want my tiara back.
Girl's album goes platinum three times
and she thinks anything left on her yacht is hers.
Are you talking about Ariana Venti?
I was talking about Ariana Murphy.
Yeah. That's right. I knew her before the new name and the new nose.
Yeah, okay, now, this is cobalt.
Now, do you think that's lapis?
Ms. Baxter, I am begging you, let the thread go.
-We are losing them. -[She-EOs chattering]
And that's me and Ariana at Post Malone's after party.
And that's us at Post Malone's after-after party.
I think we already lost 'em.
And that's us at Post Malone's after -after-after party.
Post Malone wasn't even invited to that.
Pop-Pop, just admit it. We're lost.
Can I please use my GPS?
No. The ugly house is right around there!
Whoa. That house is ugly.
I've heard of fixer-uppers, but that's a fixer-downer.
[laughs]
Come on. You've been making train jokes for hours.
Funny you brought it up because we're now back on track.
[groans] I deserve that.
[tires screech]
What happened? Are you okay?
No! I left Tasha at home! We have to go back.
But we're almost by the red dumpster.
That's the halfway point.
I can't buy clothes for Tasha without her.
She has to try them on.
Are you serious?
We made a deal. You promised.
Fine. Don't worry, I know a shortcut.
And do me a favor.
Keep an eye out for a bike leaning against a big rock.
That's it, Jorgensons.
You'll be snorkeling for real in no time.
Oh! Check it out!
A coral reef.
[Jorgensons] Ooh.
Bucket list complete.
You promised we'd see a shark.
Oh, well [chuckles] you're in luck,
-'cause here comes a shark now. -[gasps]
I said, "Here comes a shark now."
[sighs]
I'm not doing this.
You have to.
We guaranteed a shark sighting or their money back.
-[snarls] I'm a shark. -Ah!
Whoa! Wait till the guys in the office see this.
Who's a coward now?
-[snarls] -Ah! It's still me. It's still me!
[disco music playing] ♪♪♪
That's it! You're doing great! [pants]
Now reach for the top shelf.
Oops, maybe it's on the bottom shelf.
Oh. Not there either.
We need to [singsongy] wave down the manager.
Wave down the manager.
All right, so, I'm about to teach you guys my abuelita's secret mole recipe.
So if you're ever playing the penny slots in Reno,
this never happened.
This is so exciting.
I've never cooked with a real jalapeño before.
Is anybody else nervous?
Just remember, touching your eyes after handling a hot pepper
is a real jalape-no-no.
Holy mole, that burns!
And this is a picture of a salad I ordered at Antonio's.
And this is a picture of a salad I ordered at The Blue Canoe,
which is not as good as Antonio's,
but it's harder to get into, so it's better.
Yeah. This isn't interesting anymore.
Come on. Let's just go.
Oh, um, we're going?
Well, we are.
[sighs] Okay, look, I know today wasn't exciting,
but if you could give me another chance--
I was rooting for you, Ivy. I really was.
But you're just not She-EO material.
O-Okay, She-EOs, hey, hold up, now.
Wait a second, all right?
I got like a--
I got an exclusive pop-up event tonight.
I could put you on the list. That's right. There's a list.
Will there be celebrities there?
Newt Slackley's been coming around a lot lately, so
Anybody else?
Ariana Venti will be there.
-Seriously? -Seriously?
Yeah. Right, Nikki?
Totally.
Ivy, you make this happen and you have my vote.
-[gasps] -Which means you have all the votes.
Oh. Well, that is nice of you to have Ariana Venti come to my pop-up.
Oh, I can't do that.
Then why did you say, "Totally"?
I don't know. You said Ariana Venti was gonna be there,
I thought we were just lying about stuff.
Can you please just ask her to come?
It would mean a lot to me.
Totally.
You mean, "Totally," like you'll ask?
No, I mean, "Totally," like it would mean a lot to you.
Nikki.
Fine, I'll text her.
-[chimes] -Yeah, she said no.
-Are you sure? -Totally.
That was a nightmare.
At least it's almost over.
Well
Neil.
Why isn't it almost over?
We just have to watch Lisbeth while her parents go out.
-Babysitting? -Okay, but that's it.
All right? I promise. No more surprises.
-Grandpa Vic! -Okay, starting now.
[clears throat] No more surprises.
Booker, what is going on here?
Um, we're
Uh, playing hotel. Yep. It's a thing we do when no one's home.
Play hotel.
-That's weird. -U-Uh, what are you two doing back?
-I forgot Tasha. I'll go grab her. -No, no, no. I'll go get her.
I am the bellhop. In the game. That we play.
Hotel.
So [chuckles] first time in San Francisco?
Oh, there you are.
Hey, I was playing with her!
-Shh. Keep your voice down. -But that's my doll!
There are toys upstairs, all right?
You can play with anything you want. Just get lost.
Booker, who are you talking to?
-[bell dings] -What was that?
-I didn't hear anything. -You didn't hear that?
What, that ding? No. [chuckles]
Would you excuse me?
[whispering] Mr. Jorgenson. What can I do for you?
-Why are you whispering? -Because you're whispering.
Oh, okay. Well, that makes sense.
Hey. My wife would like an extra towel.
Unfortunately, I used the two you supplied.
I'm a very wet showerer.
No problem. As many towels as you want. Dish towels, beach towels, paper towels.
You just go upstairs, all right? Go. Go, go, go!
Oh, okay. [chuckles]
Sir, you can't come in here, okay?
The lobby is reserved for a private event. [chuckles]
Private event? Neil, this is my house.
I'm sorry. We're just so into this game. We're very committed.
You two should be committed.
[chuckles, stammering]
Th-Th-That is so funny.
You are gonna have so much fun on the road,
which is where you should be right now.
And if you're ever back in San Francisco, please do consider staying with us.
Where else would I stay?
This is my house.
[shoppers chattering]
So? A local businesswoman chasing her dream?
It's like She -E-Whoa, am I right?
We've been here for over an hour. When is Ariana Venti getting here?
Okay. Okay, look. The truth is--
[imitating Ariana] It is I, Ariana Venti.
-Uh, what is happening? -It's her!
You really think that's her?
[blows raspberry] Because I do. Obviously.
Oh, don't look at me! Don't look at me.
My guru has me on an attention fast.
For the record, I never doubted you!
Look at these clothes! They're genius.
Who is the designer? I love her.
You saw her. I totally came through. We should go.
-I gotta get a selfie first. -No, wait!
Ariana! Hi. I can't believe it's really you.
-Can I get a selfie? -No! No selfies! No!
My-My-My stylist has me on a selfie cleanse.
Something's off.
Get ready to lose your minds. It is I, Ariana Venti.
-[normal] Nikki? -Raven?
Dang it.
Okay, Avery, here's the deal, and you-- you're gonna laugh so much. Um.
Those two? Not Ariana Venti.
No kidding.
I've never done anything nice before.
-How do you think it's going? -Not great.
Avery, I really wanted to be in this club, so I was trying to impress you.
Well, you didn't.
Real She-EOs deliver.
No.
Real She-EOs have each other's backs.
That's what Ms. Baxter and Nikki did for me.
They didn't have to. But they did it. Because they are bosses.
Correction, I'm the boss. She the assistant.
She good.
It doesn't matter what they did.
You were never getting in.
[scoffs, chuckles]
Avery, you had the honor of learning from one of the most inspiring women I know.
[shoppers chattering]
But all you cared about was some vapid, ridiculous pop star.
-Ariana Venti. -Yes, exactly. Ariana Venti.
You know, she is the epitome of ridiculous celebrity culture.
-Oh, Ivy. -No, 10% talent, 90% hype.
-Ivy. -No, no, no, Ms. Baxter,
this needs to be said.
Women like you are the true She -EOs! Not shallow pop stars like--
-What? Who-- Ariana Venti! -Oh, my God!
Oh.
Kids and their pop stars. Glad I was never like that.
I'm just glad Ariana showed up
because the only other pop star I know is J.J. from Boyz 'N Motion.
[squeals] You know J.J. from Boyz 'N Motion?
Text him! Text him! Text him! Text him! Text him! Let me text him!
-Yo, Neil, have you seen Lisbeth? -I thought she was upstairs.
-I was just there. I didn't see her. -But you told her to go play.
Yeah. But then after that, I told her to get lost.
And now she's lost. Maybe if you tell her to come back, she'll come back.
I would do that if I could find her.
If you could find her, we wouldn't be having this conversation.
-Just help me look. -Yeah.
Only six more hours till we're finally in Pasadena.
Sorry we missed the first day of the Train Expo.
Ah, it's okay. Tomorrow's all the good stuff anyway.
We got Boxcar Breakfast, Steam Engine Snacks
and my favorite, Locomotive Lunch.
That's the good stuff?
Then I'm not sorry we missed it.
But thanks for going back for Tasha.
My doll!
[screaming]
Yo, she's not here! We've lost her!
We should not be running a hotel.
-How could this happen? -Because we should not be running a hotel.
I'm sorry I got you into this.
[whimpering] Hey, it's okay. You know I'm always here for you.
-No matter what. -Watch out now!
Yeah. We are ready to hit the town.
First, we're gonna get some food,
and then we're just gonna come back here 'cause that's all we had planned.
Where is Lisbeth? We wanted to say night night before bed.
Mr. and Mrs. Jorgenson, there's something I need to tell you, all right?
-Lisbeth is -[door opens]
-[chuckling] right over there. -Oh.
Pointing out where your kid is. Another one of our amenities.
We could've used that service
when this bellhop and his crazy friend lost her in Barcelona. [chuckles]
I'm beginning to think that wasn't even a real hotel.
[chuckles] Not a real hotel. Who would even do something like that?
When you have a chance, we could use some extra pillows upstairs.
Look, Grandpa, I can explain.
You don't have to. That little girl told us everything on the car ride home.
I'm sorry.
I guess the thought of making $1,000 in one night had me acting crazy.
You should be sorry.
D-Did-- Did you say $1,000?
That's what they're paying to stay.
Well, what are you two waiting for? Our guests need more pillows!
And a foot massage! Throw one of them in too.
[grunts]
Ooh, I slept like a log.
Okay, coffee.
[sighs] Yesterday was crazy. [chuckles]
Did I fall asleep in the wrong house again?
Uh,
hello?
Oh, hi. Are you staying in this hotel too?
-Hotel? -[door opens]
[both gasp]
-It's time to check out. -But our flight's not till noon.
-I meant us. Come on, Neil. -Yeah.
I'm coming for you, Booker!
But first, I'm coming for them hotcakes.
-Yeah, help yourself. -Yeah.
-Yeah, have some. -Thank you.
At the end, we'll split the bill down the middle.
Ah, we'll see about that.
