The Greek Aisle

Morning, Rose.

I brought coffee.

Hi, Georgia.

Got this from the new place on 3rd.

That to distract me from the fact

that you are late to our prep meeting?

No, but this is.

They are a startup just like us.

I wanna support.

Good karma, you know.

We are going to need it today for our kickoff

call with Madeleine Jewelers.

They are such a huge client for us.

Which is why I was up all night coming up with ideas.

Great.

What do you have?

Absolutely nothing.

Not yet, but I will.

You know, I've just been struggling lately.

You have been here 30 seconds.

And you already have your own office for that chaos

you're impacting over there.

I prefer to call it alternative order.

Just make sure your order does not make its way to my area.

What did I just say?

I know, but it's from my Aunt Margaret's estate in Greece.

And it feels important.

What tipped you off?

You know, I don't speak Greek.

But you speak legalese, and it's in English.

Just please, make it make sense.

Georgia.

Mm-hmm?

This is the final notice for your inheritance.

They've been waiting for you to read the will for almost a year

- now. - What?

No. That's impossible.

It feels like she just barely passed.

Oh, honey, I understand, but no.

According to this, they have made several attempts

to contact you.

You have to get to Corfu by the 18th, or you

could forfeit your inheritance.

What?

Whe-- when's the 18th?

Next week.

This-- this is bad.

Rose, I am--

I am so, so, so, so sorry.

I was gonna use the sale to finance our portion

of the business loan.

OK, I'm officially freaking out.

Our burn rate has been higher than we expected.

I mean, that loan is keeping us afloat,

but the payments are coming up very quickly.

Maybe we should reach out to your parents.

Look, I love them.

But I do not need a lecture right now.

I will fix this myself.

Maybe I could just call and claim it without having

to physically be there.

I can not believe you physically

have to be there for this.

Apparently, it's a unique situation,

according to Madam Cora Stelios, the Greek lawyer handling it.

Remind me why I have to bring this giant extra suitcase?

'Cause if I left it up to you, you'd probably

spend a fortune shipping your aunt's keepsakes back.

That's true.

Also, the Madeleine team sent over some items for inspo

on the creative.

They're in the extra suitcase.

Nothing valuable, just some replicas.

I'm only gonna be there a few days.

I don't even know if I'm gonna unpack.

I'm sorry.

I'm just stressed.

They're asking for a lot on this one,

and you are the creative one.

No, I'm the one that should be apologizing

for putting this off.

I don't know why I didn't just handle it.

Because Aunt Margaret was special to you.

Handling it would mean she was really gone.

You know, maybe after I

deal with this, then I can clear the fog and get out of my funk.

You got this.

Thank you.

Mm-hmm.

Anyone else know you're coming?

Just the lawyer.

You know, it's kind of a shame that I didn't keep in touch

with any of the people that I met when

I was studying abroad there.

You and your aunt traveled so much together.

Probably didn't feel the need to see her back in Corfu.

I'm kind of excited to go back, you know?

Eat at Taverna Marini.

And maybe Elena's still there.

Oh, she was a culinary goddess.

You're making me hungry.

I'll bring you back some moussaka.

I'll pack it in between the keepsakes.

Please don't do that.

Love you.

Love you too.

English, Alex.

If you wanna be a detective, you have to practice.

They're looking for bilingual agents these days.

Yes. Thank you, Nikos.

Let me start over.

I was just saying how crazy it is that Margaret

left me her house.

I'm moving this week.

Are you sure about that?

That's what she told me.

But I have to wait for another inheritor to arrive.

And who's the other inheritor?

Cora couldn't legally give me any details about that.

But wanna know what I think?

I don't.

Of course, you don't.

It's her niece, Georgia.

The one who studied here for the summer 20 years ago?

I remember Georgia.

Didn't you have a crush on her back then?

I was young and awkward.

I had a crush on any girl who would even talk to me.

Very true.

Anyway, we lost touch.

But Margaret always talked about her.

And if I'm right, she should be coming

in around 6:30 this evening.

And how do you know that, Mr. Holmes?

I don't.

But Cora said this other person is arriving today.

And I checked the schedules.

She'll take a train from Athens to Goumenissa,

then catch a ferry to Corfu, then a taxi to the house.

My guess, 6:30 this evening.

You cracked the case.

Elementary, my dear Watson.

But I'm not a detective yet.

What's happening with that?

I mean, I'm still waiting for an interview from Theo's agency.

He has my application and probably hundreds of others.

Then it's just a matter of time.

Selfishly, I don't want you to leave.

I don't want you playing for the detectives' cricket team.

We'll never beat you.

Sorry, Nikos.

The world does not revolve around city league cricket.

In my world, that's everything.

Just like I remembered.

Hi!

That's all the Greek I know.

That's OK.

It's great.

I'm just so happy you guys are still here.

I love this place.

Should I get you a table, or are you moving in?

Sorry about the luggage.

I came straight from the airport.

I was starving.

OK, I'll take your luggage to the back and bring you a menu.

No need for the menu.

I know exactly what I want.

I'll take the moussaka and feta salad.

Excellent choice.

Go sit wherever you like. Go, go.

- Sit. - Thank you.

Welcome to Marini's.

I am the owner.

Please.

Elena, do you remember me?

Oh!

Just look at those eyes!

They're exactly like your aunt's.

You must be here for the reading of the will.

Yes, I am.

And by some miracle, I made it after three

flights and 21 hours.

- 21 hours? - Yes.

OK, you sit down.

And not another word from you until your belly is full.

Yanthi, bring a bottle of our best wine.

Yes.

I think it's a little early for wine.

It will help you with your jet lag.

Works for me.

Yes.

Hope you're hungry.

Oh!

I got you.

Can I get you anything else?

Just the bill.

Thank you.

That, I cannot do.

I am sorry, but all your meals are covered

whenever you eat at Marini's.
