Napa Ever After

Cassie!

These people are spending good money.

They don't want you sneakin' and spyin' on their wedding.

Sorry, Granny.

Come on. I got a better idea.

Got something for you.

What is it?

Well, whenever we bottle a new wine,

we always sign the first cork.

And you get to do the honors, Cassie.

We built all of this, Cassie.

All of it.

And one of these days, it's gonna be your mama's.

And after that...

it's gonna be all yours.

Kiss your bride.

We could all be here together.

This is family.

Do you really need to go?

It's fine, Mom, but we have to go.

I'm sorry.

I love you.

I'll call you.

That sounds like a woman

on the verge of spontaneous combustion.

Oh, this came certified this morning...

"Annie Fink, Attorney-at-Law."

Do we know an Annie Fink?

Nope. No Annie Fink.

Tell me, Hank.

Have we heard anything on the Gervich case?

Not a word.

Don't go there!

You presented a compelling argument.

Oh, yeah? Mm.

Tell that to Joyce.

Are you kidding?

She terrifies me.

Me too.

Nuh-uh, girl! That is not allowed.

No. I'll be fine once I have my, um...

oh, here we go!

Can I have a glass of Merlot

and a Cabernet Sauvignon, please?

Mm-mm.

What?

My Grandma Emma always said

that "red wine is the cure for all that ails you..."

and I've got a lot of ailments.

You have been a little more wired than usual.

And that's saying a lot.

You know what?

I have not heard a word from Joyce about my case.

Complete radio silence.

She's gonna fire me. Mm-hmm. That's what she does.

She ghosts you, then she ousts you.

She sounds terrible, Cassandra.

Oh, she is, but that's what I love about her.

You don't build the most successful

real estate law practice in San Francisco

by being a softie.

She wouldn't fire you over one lost case...

which you haven't even lost!

She might. She might over a case this big.

But you know what?

She might actually be doing me a favor.

You're a perfectionist.

Perfection is the enemy of creativity, you know.

Hmm!

Is that from one of your little self-help books?

Yes, it is, but it's true!

Why don't you take a break?

Let someone else pick up the load.

Oh. How is your little handsome fiancé?

Is she changing the subject?

Mm-hmm.

I cannot wait

for the two of you to get married

and make me an auntie.

And who's gonna make me an auntie?

Not you two!

Before anybody becomes an auntie,

we need to plan a girls' trip.

Cassandra.

You've been promising to take us to Napa Valley.

Let's do that.

I haven't been there since I was a kid.

Look, maybe next year.

That's what you said two years ago.

Look, there is a very complicated

family situation going on.

Girl, please.

Answer that phone.

Cassandra Moore speaking.

Oh.

Okay. Well...

thanks for letting me know.

Well, I guess I'm going back to Napa Valley

sooner than expected.

My grandma Emma just passed away.

No...

Oh, honey.

How long will you be gone for?

Well, the funeral's on Saturday.

Maybe a couple days, tops.

Look. I know the circumstances aren't great,

but maybe the break might be good for you.

I'm not so sure about that.

Look, I'm gonna go there, pay my respects,

and get back to work as soon as possible.

If I have a job to come back to.

Cassandra, could you please come to my office?

Okay.

Joyce wants to see me.

So, Cassandra.

You've put in a lot of hours here.

Giving it your all, burning the midnight oil,

and I want to thank you for your service to this firm.

Thank you for saying that, Joyce.

My work here means the world to me,

and you have been such an amazing mentor.

Just know that I appreciate

every opportunity you've given me and...

respect whatever decision you need to make at this time.

Okay.

Even if that means letting me go.

Why on Earth would I do that?

Cassandra, Judge McKenna ruled in our favor.

The client is very pleased, and so am I.

Don't I look excited?

Oh.

Very excited.

This was excellent work,

and Frank Wheeler wants you on his account

for all his properties...

worldwide.

Congratulations, Cassandra. You just made partner.

Seriously?

- Ohh! - Finding someone

with your instincts and work ethic is rare.

However, you thought this was a big win?

That's nothing compared to what we're going to do together.

And I'm gonna need all you've got.

You have got it!

Good.

Game on. Starting now.

Oh, about that.

Um, I have to go out of town this weekend.

My grandmother passed away.

Oh. I'm sorry.

No, no, no. But I'll be right back, and then...

game on!

Take all the time

- you need, Cassandra. - No, no, no.

I'm good.

After a couple days, I'll be back.

Hold on, Miss Fink.

You want me to stay in Napa Valley for six months?

Well, you'll need at least that long

to figure out which staff members

you want to keep, who you want to hire.

What are you talking about?

Didn't you get the certified documents I sent over?

Your grandmother left you the vineyard.

Congratulations, Cassandra.

You are the new owner of Eloi.

Oh, my gosh.

Wow.

Wow!

How do you feel about this?

Oh, I think the real question is how do you feel about it?

I know you and Grandmother

weren't exactly on the best of terms.

Oh, she thought I stole her daughter away from her, and you.

I know, Dad.

She wanted Mom to take over the vineyard.

That was her wish...

not your mother's.

She couldn't accept that.

Tore the family apart.

Well, I kind of wish I had spent more time with her.

Why? So she could make you feel bad

about choosing to be a lawyer like your old man

instead of stomping grapes with your feet?

You know, Dad, I don't think they do that anymore.

Get all the details while you're there

and let me know how I can help you with the sale.

The sale?

You're gonna sell it, aren't you?

You don't have time to run a vineyard.

You've just made partner.

Of course I'm going to sell it.

What other choice do I have, right?

Hi. I have an appointment

with one of your real estate agents... Eric.

Yes. Well, it was supposed to start 15 minutes ago,

but, of course, I got stuck in bridge traffic.

But no worries, I will be at your office in 10 minutes.

He has another appointment in 30 minutes,

so we may need to reschedule you
