Not my problem anymore.
I'm taking my family to British Columbia.

It wasn't an easy decision.
I started out as a grape-picker when I was 14.
And now you're a master winemaker.
That's very impressive.
I owe it all to Desmond Senior.
He taught me about farming, the vines.
He sent me to the best wine-making school.
If Karina goes through with her plan to automate the harvest,
wouldn't that put the grape-pickers out of work?
Some.

I was mad at Karina for how she handled things,
mad at my mom for lying, but then...
You remembered that Desmond Sr. was good to you?
He was being my dad.
The best way he could.
So you didn't do it?
Shattered glasses, spray-painted graffiti,
it's all so immature.
So... juvenile.
Okay, where's Sophy?
I don't know.
[line ringing]
Darby, where are you?
I'm in the fermentation room looking for Ronny.
Des said he couldn't believe it's him.
Well, it's not. It's Sophy.
Wait, what?
[sniffs]
Oh my God. [sniffs]
What?
Gasoline.
She's here.
[dramatic music]
In the fermentation room!
We'll be right there.

- Don't do it! - Stop!
Everyone wants this to turn around.
They're on your side.
- No, they're not! - Yes, they are, believe me!
Seriously, don't come any closer!
- I just want to talk to you. - I'm sick of talking!
Stop!
- Don't-- - Sophy, don't!
They deserve it!
They took everything from you!
- From our whole family! - No, honey!
I heard you and Karina fighting!
This winery is yours too.
Ours! This is our home, Papa!
I don't want to leave Alder Bluffs,
and I won't leave Alyssa!
Sweety, I know your heart is broken--
They broke yours too!
You put your life into this wine, Dad.
They need to see how that feels.
DARBY: Sophy, I get that you're angry.
I know what that feels like.
I felt the same way when my dad died.
Angry that my whole life had to change afterwards.
Angry that I had to move away from my friends
and everything that I knew.
I also get that it seems like it would be satisfying
to just burn this whole place down.
But I can promise you,
that satisfaction would be fleeting.
And it would hurt your dad
way more than it would hurt Des and Karina.
RONNY: I love you, Soph.
My dad couldn't say it in so many words, but...
but I can.
I love you.
SOPHY: I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry, Dad. I'm sorry.

[bright music]
Des decided to not press charges against Sophy.
Well, he's a good guy.
And a family man.
They're both good men.
Ronny could have retaliated against his half-siblings,
and he chose not to.
Yeah.
It was really nice what you told Sophy yesterday.
I wish you could have shared that with me
when you were younger.
I didn't have the words then.
So, wine is a whole thing, huh?
Yes, you swirl it, you sniff, and then sip!

SOPHY: [screams excitedly] Alyssa!
ALYSSA: Oh my God, that's amazing!
RONNY: Can you guess? We're staying!
You are?
DES: Yeah, well, Ronny's gonna help run the winery with us.
KARINA: As a family.
With our dad's traditions, hand-picked grapes...
And we're gonna leverage
some of Karina's great marketing ideas.
VICTORIA: That is wonderful.
RONNY: We have things to work through, but...
we think this is what Desmond Sr.,
what our father, would have wanted.
I know this is what Sophy wants.
Well, to Link Estates Winery!
ALL: Cheers!
- Ooh! - And to family!
♪
- Can you show me around? - RONNY: Of course.
VICTORIA: Let's go inside, 'cause it's kinda windy!
DES: You wanna go for a walk?
- Yeah. - Okay.
♪
DARBY: That was a lot!
DES: Yes, it was.
- [laughs] Woo! - Yeah.
I mean, I'm glad Ronny's staying, though.
Yeah.
How are you feeling? Really.
Well, I...
I appreciate everything you and your mother did.
Even the "exposing explosive family secrets" part?
Still processing it. I'm hurt, angry...
I-I don't know who my dad was now.
He's the same guy he always was.
And for what it's worth,
he was trying to do the honourable thing,
supporting Ronny and his mom.
Yeah, I guess.
Your dad did a lot of good in his life.
Don't discount all of it just because of one...
admittedly huge lie.
You always see the best in people, don't you?
I don't think anyone has ever said that to me before,
but I'll take it.
[laughs] Okay.
♪
So, now that I'm no longer a client, how about dinner?
Yeah.
VICTORIA: That would be delightful!
- Hello, Mother. - Hm!
And you wouldn't have to sneak out of the house.
Mm, definitely better than the trellis.
- Mm-hm. - I'd love that.
Thank you, and I'll... I'll see you soon, Darby.
- Okay. - Okay.
- Hm. - Great timing, as usual.
Well, you had the car keys,
and Ronny gave us a case of wine as a thank you, so...
Oh!
But you know what they say about local wine.
It's best sipped in the moonlight, with a hot, new--
- Stop! - I was talking about Billy.
Oh, yeah!
- How did that go? - Now you ask!
- Well, we danced the tango. - When?!
I was gone for like five minutes!
Do you always dance the tango on your first date?
[sighs] At least I kept my clothes on.
I walked into that one.
DARBY: I'm driving, by the way. When do I get to meet him?
Soon.
He had to meet a client in Reykjavik.
It's kind of exciting to date an International Man of Mystery.
Oh, great. So now you're dating a spy.
