Oh, they call her "the country songbird."

- Oh, please, call me Shay. Fury is not even a real name.
It's more like a-a company, you know, me and my band.
Oh, and Beau, of course.
But Shay, that's the name my mama gave me, so that's good.
- So, Shay... [chuckles]
What can the Island do for you?
- Well, my albums, the ones that blew up,
I wrote all the songs.
The words just used to pour out of me.
And over the last few years, nothing.
The words just don't come.
I haven't won a Grammy in years.
Oh, I know you're thinking, "Oh, poor baby wants a Grammy."
But the thing is, I do.
Anyway, my fantasy
is to be able to write my own songs again.
- I understand.
And rest assured, the Island is a very, very creative place.
Why don't you get settled?
- All right.

- For me? No, no, we're not here for me.
- You must have a fantasy. Come on.
- [chuckles] Right now, my fantasy's
not to have to worry about Shay's coffee.
Don't tell her I said that. - I won't.
And I'll see what I can do.
Ash will take you to your room.
- Mm-hmm. - Follow me, please.
Thank you.

- Wow. Wow, that was amazing!
Amazing voice!
[cheers and applause]
- You're amazing.
- Thank you all so much. - Yeah!
- [chuckles]
You're not an assistant, are you?
You wrote that song. - [laughs]
Yeah, I did, and there's a little bit
of you in there, you and your daughter.
- It's beautiful. - [laughs]
Thank you for helping me find my way home.
[chuckles]
- [exhales]
- Did you mean it? - Oh!
- About paying for school or whatever,
leasing a mountain, did--did you mean any of it?
- Absolutely.
I mean, maybe a-a timeshare on the mountain,
you know, whatever makes sense.
But, yes, I-I would be honored
to pay for whatever it is that you need.
You're really thinking about it, huh?
- More than that, actually.
I made a few calls. My trainer's in Vermont,
and she said she'd would take me for nothing.
So I just have to get to her and get in condition
before school starts.
I've saved some,
but maybe some help with a plane ticket and some expenses?
- Whatever you need.
You going soon?
- Today.
Or I'm scared I won't be able to.
- I get that.
- So I guess, uh,
yeah, I'm going.
- Maybe I should have thought more about that part.
You just got here.
- And I-I just got you.
Softie. - [laughs]
I guess it's genetic.
Wait, one more thing.
I want you to know I am so proud of you.
Okay?
Come here.
But you know you can always come back.
- I know.
That's why I can go.

- Ugh! They're pointing at you again.
I bet that feels good.
- Oh, I'll tell ya, it ain't awful.
[both laugh]
- They're looking at you too, Beau.
People are saying you're the next big thing.
- Well, I'm gonna give it a try.
- Uh, what he means to say is...
- Damn right, watch me do it. [laughter]
- Thank you both so much.
I'm leaving the island with a song I love,
and I'm almost done writing three more.
I just needed to like myself again.
- Sounds like it might be raining Grammys.
- Oh, it might, but maybe not just for me.
Songwriting, you know, that's what I really love.
Beau here, he's gonna do the vocals on this one.
- Well, I'm trying to convince her to make it a duet.
We make a good team after all. Thank you.
I got so much more than I asked for.
- It was a pleasure.
- I got a lot of what I wanted, maybe not everything.
- Yeah, you know, feel free to board your boat.
Your captain is waiting.
- Not you?
- Uh, I gotta fly the plane today.
Special cargo.
Listen, your song made my daughter realize
that she has roots here.
Thank you.
- Ticktock.
- Take care, man. - You too, man.
[indistinct chatter, laughter]
There she is.
Plane is just you and me today, kiddo.
I'll go bring her around. [boat engine revs]
- Yee-haw! [laughs]
- We're gonna miss you.
- We really are.
- Thank you for being my best friend,
and my special granny friend, and my drinking buddy.
- You be safe on those slopes. And dress warm.
And I'll be sure to knit you some scarves.

- You gave me a magical home, a place to recover.
And you are someone that I'm going to admire my whole life.
- Of course, Helene. It was my pleasure.
- And another little thing is,
thank you for giving me a father.
He was happy when he was with you.
I know that I complicated things.
But thank you so much for giving us the room
to get to know each other.
He's all alone now, so...
take care of him.
- Okay.
