And tell Robert we need
those press release edits

for Deidre's approval right now.

We're on air in less than
15 minutes. Hang on.

Did you switch out those chairs
like Deidre wanted?

- Yeah, took care of it.
- Thanks a million.

Get me those edits, Jess.

- Good morning, Deidre.
- Good morning, Mandy.

- Is she here?
- In makeup.

- And the revised press release?
- On the way.

Excellent. Did you put her
in the yellow suit I sent over?



Yes, but she was
not happy about it.

She writes children's books.

She should be happy
about everything.

Barbara Kirkland is best known

for her series of bestselling
children's books,

The Adventures of Stewart
the Singing Salamander.

But now she's in the news
for something quite different.

A video which has had more than
10 million online views

in the last three days,

features the author
berating her staff.

BARBARA: We're starting again,
people!

We are starting again right now!

HOST: We'll have the legendary
author Barbara Kirkland

- live in studio...
- Okay.



That is a perfect example

of what you absolutely
cannot say in the interview.

I'm aware of that, Deidre.

You need to be gracious,
you need to be apologetic.

You had a bad day.
Everyone has a bad day.

- Isn't that right, Mandy?
- Absolutely.

It's only human.

Say this has been
a humbling experience,

and you're grateful for it.

Yes. People can relate to that.

Honestly, this is just one
little video on the Internet.

This is a bit
of an overreaction.

That's what people do on
the Internet. They overreact.

Barbara, I want you
to think about your readers.

I want you to think about that
multimillion dollar industry

that surrounds
that singing salamander.

I'll be fine.

I know how to handle the press.

With all due respect, if you
knew how to handle the press,

I wouldn't be here.

So you'll do exactly as I say.

Hmm?

- So any regrets?
- [laughs]

Make no mistake.
This has been quite horrifying.

But seeing yourself
at your worst

through someone else's eyes,

it's instructive.

This has been
a humbling experience.

And for that,
I am truly grateful.

We'll be back after the break.

My friends, we have slayed
the dragon lady.

- Great work on the interview.
- Thanks, Jess.

Okay, so what was
Barbara Kirkland like in person?

Was she terrifying?

No when you work for Deidre.

Good job on making her
look so human.

I just follow the plan.

But you're like the magician's
assistant, you know?

Deirdre's the flash and dazzle,

but you're the one who knows
how all the tricks work.

I've got to,
or Deidre will saw me in half.

- Stop. Mandy Cooper, stop.
- What's wrong?

Are those the Ferragamo pumps
from your Pinterest board?

Gotta dress for the job you
want, not the job you have.

I promised myself
if today went well,

I'd ask Deidre for
a little more responsibility.

And if you don't ask,
you don't get.

Exactly.

Deidre, a moment?

I'm listening.

I, um...

I thought today
went really well.

Thank you.

And I work very hard to
contribute to the work we do.

And you feel like
that's not being acknowledged?

No, it absolutely is.

The thing is I want to do more
for our clients.

For the firm, for you.

- Meaning what?
- Well, uh...

I have a B.A. in marketing
and public relations,

and as gratifying as it is
being your assistant...

You feel ready
for a new challenge.

Yes!

Yes, that's it exactly.

Mm-hmm.

Mandy, where do you keep
your ketchup?

Beg your pardon?

The condiment.

Ketchup.
Are you familiar?

Uh, yes, yeah, uh-huh.
Yeah, I know...

I know what ketchup is.

Good. Where do you keep it?

Um, in the fridge?

And why is that?

I think it says to
on the bottle.

Are you sure about that?

Suddenly, I'm not.

If you go into a diner,

the ketchup is just
sitting there on the table.

They don't serve it chilled.

Hmm. Oh, I never
thought of that.

No, you wouldn't.

Mandy, you are very good
at doing what you're told.

But a good PR person
digs deeper than that.

They wanna know why things
are done in a certain way.

My junior executives
excel in formulating

and executing plans of action.

But that's not you, Mandy.

Is it? Do you know why?

Because I keep my ketchup
in the refrigerator?

No. That's where I keep mine.

But I put it there
because I prefer it.

You put it there
because somebody told you to.

MANDY: So apparently
that's it, Mom.

I'm gonna be an assistant
for the rest of my life

because I don't
properly question

the storage
of my hamburger toppings.

That's the silliest thing
I've ever heard.

I'm looking at the back
of the bottle right now,

and it says, "For best results,
refrigerate after opening."

Not really the point
of my story.

I know, sweetie.

The point is I work harder than
anyone else at that firm,

hoping I'll get a chance
to move up.

But Deidre thinks all I can do
is fetch coffee.

And that is exactly why
you need this vacation.

Tomorrow this time, we're gonna
be sipping frozen fruity drinks

on the beach.

It has been ages since I've had

both my girls in the same place.

You have got to see your sister.

You got the baby shower
invitation?

I did, and I wanna be there,

but it was hard enough getting
time off for our beach trip.

Mandy, we just miss you.

I miss you too.

And I'll see you tomorrow
for sunshine and fruity drinks.

Love you.

Love you.

A rowdy night out in the resort
town of Greenbriar, Idaho,

for Prince Colin of Edgemere,

who took a break from
his official visit to the U.S.

to live up to his
bad boy reputation.

[bell tolling]

Prince Colin has been charged

with defacing a public landmark.

He's currently in the custody

of the Greenbriar
Sheriff's Department.

It is the latest scandal
involving His Royal Highness,

adding fuel to growing concerns
as to whether Prince Colin

is fit to be king.

Is Her Majesty aware?

QUEEN: Penelope, a word!

Ah.

There it is.

May I be of service, ma'am?

Please alert the kitchen instead
of tea and cake this afternoon,

we'll be having one of those
blended concoctions

with wheat grass and...

Oh, what is it called?

Kale, I believe.

Your Majesty
is requesting a smoothie.

I must consider my health,
Penelope,

because clearly I can never die.

Your Majesty?

I sent my son to America

to dedicate a university library
in memory of his late father.

A shockingly simple task.

All he had to do was
wave and cut a ribbon.

Somehow this leads to
the crown prince of Edgemere

being arrested for taking a bath
in a public fountain.

I can assure you, ma'am,

he remained clothed
the whole time.

Oh, marvelous.

So he doesn't even understand
how bathing works.

What was going through his mind?

Has he gone mad?
Has he taken up drinking?

Oh, no, no, no,
nothing of the sort.

He was just...
overly rambunctious.

And what of Lady Isabella?
Does she know about this?

I'm certain she does.

Begging your pardon, ma'am,

I doubt she's any more
surprised than we are.

Such an embarrassment.

Colin is not demonstrating

the behavior of a man
ready for marriage.

My jubilee is in ten days,
Penelope,

celebrating
25 years of my reign,

a quarter century of leadership,
of sacrifice.

The eyes of the world
will be upon us.

I will not have
this distraction.

What is Your Majesty's will?

I'm afraid we require
outside assistance.

Prince Colin of Edgemere,

heir to the throne,
darling of the tabloids,

defacer of fountains,
and our new client.

The prince is in
Greenbriar, Idaho,

one of those
charming little towns

that looks like something
in a Thomas Kincaid painting.

The director
of royal communications

is on her way to Idaho,

and the prince will be
released into her custody,

but we still have
a court date to deal with.

So our strategy:

We get the sheriff
to drop all the charges,

issue an apology
and a few good photo ops.

Hmm? Robert...

I'd like to prepare
a list of local charities

that would love
a generous donation

- from the royal family.
- You got it.

Jamal, I need Intel
on that sheriff.

I wanna know who I'm up against.

Mandy, I want flights
to Idaho tonight

and rooms at the little inn
in Greenbriar

- for both of us.
- Us?

I... Actually, I'm...
I'm flying out tonight

to meet my mother and sister
at the beach.

You know, Fourth of July
weekend. Vacation.

This is the first time
I'm hearing of this.

Actually, I think I mentioned it
when you, um, approved it.

My sister and her husband
are expecting,

so we thought a girls' trip
would be just...

I'm sorry. Did I say something
that would lead you to believe

that I was interested
in those details?

I apologize.

Oh, no, I apologize.

I thought working directly

with one of our most
high-profiled clients

for someone seeking
greater responsibility

would be interesting,
but I understand.

You wanna go to the beach.

How fun.

[scoffs]
That child cried

right next to me
the entire flight.

That's terrible.

I don't even know why they allow
children in first class.

In the future, you have to find
out who's sitting next to me.

I'm not sure how you do that.

Oh, you'll find a way.

I couldn't relax with that
incessant wailing in my ear.

[scoffs]

And now we have more than
an hour drive to Greenbriar?

Oh, when I don't get rest,

I get dark circles
under my eyes.

I'm gonna meet the prince
looking like Uncle Fester.

This is the little hotel?

- Thank you.
- My pleasure.

Deidre, are you
feeling all right?

I'm just a little jetlagged.

Here are your keys.

Hand me my overnight bag.

Okay, you take the suitcases.
I need everything pressed.

Make sure they know
not too much starch.

Do you wanna go over your notes
for the meeting?

No, just come the room
in the morning. I'm exhausted.

Okay.

Yes, ma'am, I've just
checked into the hotel,

and I'm on my way to retrieve
him from the constable.

I'll have him in hand
within the hour.

We're meeting with the PR person
first thing in the morning.

Yes, Your Majesty,
I won't let him out of my sight

for a second.

[trolley bells ringing]

[ding]

Deidre!

What is happening to me?

It could be
some sort of allergy.

[scoffs]
It's not an allergy.

Allergies are for weak people,

and I can adapt
to any environment.

That's not really
how allergies work.

Oh, I'm not in the mood
for semantics, Mandy.

What does the Internet say?

Well, it says
it could just be acne.

[scoffs]
It most certainly could not.

Okay, bed bugs.

Bed bugs only live in New York.

Or it might... Well, no.

You had chicken pox when
you were a kid, didn't you?

Of course not.

I mean, you know
how at some point

it spread through
your kindergarten class

like wildfire?

Exactly what sort of school
did your parents send you to?

If you're around a bunch of
kids, it's bound to happen.

Which is exactly why I have
avoided children my entire life,

especially when I was a child.

[gasps]

It was that wailing toddler
on the plane.

Oh, he did this to me!

Aw, that poor kid.
No wonder he was crying.

It's not about him
right now, Mandy.

[gasps]
Ohh!

It's like the opening scene
of one of those Outbreak movies.

Let's just get you to a doctor.

Okay, fine.
Get me my makeup bag.

No, no, no, you cannot
put makeup on chicken pox.

It can lead to scarring.

Well, I cannot go out
looking like this.

My face looks like
strawberry parfait.

Well, I'll have a doctor
come to you,

and I'll get calamine lotion
and something for the fever.

Really, the best thing
you can do is get back in bed.

If it is chicken pox,
it is highly contagious.

Okay, fine.

This isn't a crisis.

I can handle it all from here.

You'll just have to go
to the meeting in my place.

Oh! Okay.

Well, you were looking for
greater responsibility, Mandy.

Here's your chance.

[sighs]

Ah, Ms. Kelley,
good morning!

Glad I caught you.
I have your suits.

- Oh.
- They're freshly pressed,

just as you requested.

Right.

You have a great day now.

Uh...

Gotta dress
for the job you want.

What the devil?

Good morning, sir!

It's a brand-new day.

Wicked woman! I need sleep!
I've been through an ordeal!

Don't you think
we're getting a little old

for these shenanigans?

Oh, come now, Penelope.

Shenanigans make life
worth living.

Don't be clever.
I'm immune to your charms.

Now get up!

Somebody's in a mood
this morning.

If I appear to be in a mood,

it's because I have neither
the time nor the inclination

to scurry about cleaning up
another one of your messes.

And yet here we are.

The situation is so dire,

we have actually had to enlist
the aid of an American.

That must be very difficult
for you.

I will suffer the indignity
you have laid at my feet,

and we will repair the damage.

You're the best. I'll just
grab a bit more shuteye

and let you take care of things.

Your Royal Highness,
kindly dress yourself

and join me in the drawing room,

otherwise I will return
with a bucket of ice water.

[inhales, exhales]

You can do this.

Good morning.
I'm Penelope Sheridan.

You must be Miss Kelley.

You are Miss Kelley, aren't you?

Am I?

Yes.

Yes, I am.

Do come in.

Miss Kelley, may I offer you
a cup of tea?

Yes, please, thank you.

I'm sure you keep
quite an active calendar.

The queen would like me
to convey her appreciation

for making yourself available.

This is precisely what I
make myself available for.

Please, do sit.

So you met with
the sheriff last night.

When I retrieved
His Highness, yes.

I must warn you,

he seems disinclined
to drop the charges.

You let me worry about that.
Where is the prince now?

The prince is still waking up.

Your Royal Highness, may I
present Miss Deidre Kelley.

Miss Kelley,
it's a pleasure meeting you.

I'm very sorry to have made you
travel all this way for nothing,

but we do not require
your services.

Sir, as we discussed...

My mother seems to think
I need to bundled and sold

to the public
like a pack of sausages.

I'm not really interested
in that sort of thing.

Penelope can sort
everything out.

She always does.

Sir, this time I cannot.

I splashed around in a fountain

and ran afoul of a sheriff with
far too much time on his hands.

You're behaving as though
I burned down a building.

You were arrested.
There are actual consequences.

Think of the press.

I've dealt with the press
my entire life.

This will blow over.

- Your Majesty...
- My mother is "Her Majesty."

My proper address is
"Your Royal Highness,"

followed thereafter as "Sir."

- I'm sorry.
- You're quite young

for a public relations
executive.

I, uh... moisturize.

Your Royal Highness, sir,
with all due respect,

if you knew how to handle
the press, I wouldn't be here.

So from now on, you're gonna do

exactly what I tell you to do.

Oh, my. You certainly have
put me in my place.

Now I can't help but comply,
can I?

Really?

No! Have you gone quietly mad?

I'm going back to bed.

Normally that's
much more effective.

Actually, that went much better
than I anticipated.

Milk?

Ms. Kelley, I'm sorry,
but I can't let that boy off

with just a slap on the wrist.

But Sheriff Wrigley,

we're talking about
the crown prince of Edgemere.

You see, I don't even know
where that is.

What I do know about
is that fountain.

It was built in 1913
by the town's founder

to honor his wife.

And the Founder's Fountain
is listed

on the National Historic
Registry of Fountains.

And there's not a man, woman
or child in Greenbriar

who hasn't made a wish
in that fountain.

So you see, that fella
was literally

stomping on people's wishes.

And we want to make that right.

Dropping the charges would set
a dangerous precedent.

I'd be hauling tourists
and vagrants

out of the water every night.

That's a slippery slope.
The next thing you know,

hooligans will be
taking over the town.

Not on my watch.

It sounds like Greenbriar
is a very special place.

It is.

Sheriff Wrigley,
consider just for a moment,

if Prince Colin pays a fine,

maybe spends a few nights
in jail,

does that really help
your wonderful town?

I think so.

I'm not so sure.

But if he did some sort
of community service,

think of the press coverage.

People would have the chance
to get to know Greenbriar

as the unique gem
it so clearly is.

Now wouldn't that be something?

MANDY: Jess, I can't believe
it's working, but it is.

I got the sheriff to compromise

without resorting
to Deidre's usual techniques

of intimidation and humiliation.

I'm proving I can
execute a plan.

But why did you say
you were her?

I don't know.
She asked, and I just said yes.

I couldn't stop myself.

Mandy, you've gotta fix this
before it goes any further.

If you make a choice
you can't take back,

you're gonna be forced
to live with the consequences.

Look, I'm not proud of it,
but there's no going back.

What am I supposed to do,

tell them that
I forgot my own name?

If I can get Prince Colin to go
along with the sheriff's offer,

I'll be a hero.

True.

You think you can get the
prince to agree to your plan?

Absolutely not!

This is what we're paying
Deidre Kelley to do,

make arrangements for me to
collect rubbish on the roadside?

The public is craving
an act of contrition from you.

What about my dignity?

Your dignity?
Is that an attempt at humor?

Your Highness, may I remind you
we are in this predicament

because you decided to take
a romp in a decorative fountain.

I was... celebrating.

Celebrating what, exactly?

A moment of freedom,

not having every second of
my life dictated by Her Majesty.

Can you imagine Lady Isabella's
feelings in all this?

All I can do is imagine
Lady Isabella's feelings.

She certainly isn't
gonna show them.

Lady Isabella is
a dignified young lady

who understands protocol.

You could learn
a great deal from her.

It's the Royal Jubilee
in eight days.

You have become a liability.

Your image has to be
rehabilitated

before we announce
your engagement to Lady Isabella

at the ball.

Of course.

We must make me fit for a wife.

No, Your Highness.

We must make you fit
for a queen.

There. I think I got
every spot.

I look horrible, don't I?

You look...

like you need some rest
and to get better.

The doctor says I'm gonna be
contagious for up to five days.

This is a nightmare.
I feel like Typhoid Mary,

and the itching
is driving me insane.

Did you pick up
that oatmeal bath?

On it.

At least things with
Prince Colin are looking up.

The community service angle
was a stroke of genius.

Yeah, well, I'm just glad
the sheriff...

It will showcase the community,
humanize the prince,

and the optics will be fabulous.

That's why it was
my only prudent option.

You followed my plans
very well, Mandy.

Thanks.
I'll run your bath.

[grunts]

We should review the statement
for tomorrow's press conference.

Can you get that Penelope woman
on the phone?

Who, what now?

The royal communications
director.

I haven't spoken to her yet.
Can you get her on the phone?

Oh, yeah, of course.

[gasps]

Ohh!

Deidre, I am so sorry.

I don't understand
how this happened.

I slipped! It was an accident.
It really was.

Of course it was an accident.
Why would you do it on purpose?

Right, why would I do that?

Just pick me up
a replacement tomorrow

and call Penelope on your phone.

Oh, I must have left
her number in my room.

- [scoffs]
- Tell you what.

Why don't you have a nice soak
in that oatmeal,

and I'll have her call you
on the landline

when you're done.

Go!

Miss Kelley, good evening.

You're speaking with Penelope,

Her Majesty's
director of communications.

Shall we get down to business?

Good morning, Penelope.

Shall we prepare
for the press conference?

- We have a slight problem.
- What?

His Royal Highness is missing.

[gasp]

Oh, excuse me.
I'm sorry to bother you.

- Have you seen this man?
- No.

Nowhere?

- Thank you. I'm sorry.
- Sorry.

Excuse me.
I'm looking for a prince.

- Oh, honey, aren't we all?
- [laughing]

Oh, Marilyn saw him at the 501.

♪♪

♪♪ [stops]

Don't you have somewhere to be?

Ah, Deidre, there you are.
That didn't take long.

If you ever need information
in a small town,

just find
the nearest beauty shop.

Nothing gets past them.

Care for a song?
[plays piano]

I take requests.

My request is that
you get in my car

and come back to the hotel
for your press conference.

That sounds just awful.

I know it's hard to believe,
but I'm on your side.

I'm trying to help you.

You don't have to pretend
you actually care

what happens to me.

I'm not pretending.
Think of me as a friend.

People in my position don't
have the luxury of friends.

You have been assigned to me.

Like everyone else in my life.

I'm trying to understand
your resistance.

It's a simple apology.

No, Miss Kelley, it is not.

It is yet another reminder

that I am a bottomless pit
of disappointment

both for my family
and my countrymen.

Honestly...

it is exhausting.

Scoot over.

You play very well.

Thank you.

And you didn't learn to play
overnight, did you?

No. It required discipline
and practice.

Little by little,
you got better.

That's all we're asking.
Small steps.

Ah, but you see,
your example is flawed

because I hated learning piano.

I took lessons for eleven years.

Mother and Father insisted that
I learn Tchaikovsky, Chopin,

and I did as I was told.

I know what that's like.

Really? I find it
difficult to imagine

anyone giving you orders.

You'd be surprised.

Well, I started finding ways
to subvert expectations.

Whenever my parents
were out of earshot,

I'd play songs from the radio.

♪♪

Yes, I know that song.
Don't... no.

Is that "Keep on Loving You"?

Yes, it is.

Wow. Your act
of musical rebellion

was an eighties power ballad?

REO Speedwagon has
a very impressive catalogue.

Yes, of course they do.
My parents loved them.

- I just... I didn't expect...
- You're mocking me.

- No, I'm not.
- It's a great song.

Your Highness...

It's Colin.

If you insist on mocking
my musical tastes,

at least do so
using my Christian name.

The world only knows you
through tabloid stories

and official appearances.

Yes, I know.

I'm not asking you to be
anyone other than yourself,

but let them see this.

Who you are right now:
relaxed, human, funny.

You think I'm funny?

You have your moments.

Colin, you can't
control the fact

that people are watching
all the time,

but you can influence
what they see.

- Deidre Kelley?
- Yes?

Danny Pendergrass,
Greenbriar Chamber of Commerce.

I have a gift basket here
for the prince.

It's a selection of
locally-made goods and produce.

Oh, wow, that is...

significantly heavier
than I expected.

Yeah, there's a lot
of potatoes in there.

If I can be of
any assistance at all,

please don't hesitate to ask.

Oh, great.
Well, I keep that in mind.

Thanks.

Good afternoon.

First, I'd like to thank

the good people
of Greenbriar, Idaho,

for their gracious hospitality.

Unfortunately, I challenged
that hospitality two nights ago

by being a very bad guest.

I wish to be very clear.

My lack of regard
for the Founder's Fountain

and what it represents to this
community was uncalled for.

Now, my countrymen
have questioned

if this is the behavior
of a future king.

I can say unequivocally
that it is not.

I must take responsibility for
that and resolve to do better.

I humbly offer my apologies

both to the citizens
of Greenbriar

and the people of Edgemere.

I'm grateful
to the Sheriff's Department

for giving me the opportunity

to repay my debt to Greenbriar
through community service.

I look forward to making
a positive contribution

in the coming days.

[applause]

You wrote that well,
Ms. Kelley.

I didn't write it.
He did.

So you approved, Miss Kelley?

You did very well, sir.

I told you, it's Colin.

Still getting comfortable
with that.

And may I call you Deidre?

Oh! Uh, yes, call me Deidre.

[phone chimes]

Did you need to get that?

My mother.
I'll call her back.

She's at the beach
with my sister.

Why aren't you there?

Because I'm here.

Ah.

That's a shame.

It comes with the territory.

Doesn't do much
for the guilt, but...

you know, we make our choices.

I worry, of course,
that I don't do enough.

Or what I do,
I'm not doing right.

I can relate.

I've been trying to make
more time for my family,

but the work I do
demands a lot of attention.

My father passed away
two years ago, and...

I don't know, I guess it
just made me more aware

of spending the time we've got.

You were close with your father?

Yes. I loved him.

But I also just
really liked him.

Do you have a photograph of him?

I do.

That's Mom and Dad when
they visited me in New York

maybe five years ago.

They look so happy.

Oh, they were.

My father died
when I was fourteen,

before I really got the chance
to know him properly.

He was an excellent monarch,
or so I'm told.

Do you have a picture
of your father?

Yes, yes, I do.

That's my favorite portrait
of him.

His face is on the money.

[chuckles]

For now.

Someday I will assume the crown,

and then my face
will be on the money.

I can't imagine.

It's what I live with every day.

My title dictates everything:

where I go, what I do,
friendships, relationships.

But nobody's ever
bothered to ask me

what I want to do with my life.

Well, Colin...

what do you want to do
with your life?

I don't know,

but I'd like the option
of finding out.

I must say,
I was pleasantly surprised.

Yes, he presented himself
quite well, didn't he?

The true challenge, of course,
will be tomorrow's agenda.

It appears Miss Kelley is quite
deserving of her reputation.

Indeed.

I never asked, Your Majesty,

what made you contact her firm?

Highly recommended

through the former
prime minister of Sri Lanka.

Miss Kelley assisted him
with a crisis,

perhaps fifteen years ago.

Fifteen years. Really?

So that would make her
40 or 45 years old.

We're not in the habit of
speculating on a person's age,

are we, Penelope?

Of course not.
My apologies.

Send my best wishes
to His Royal Highness.

Until tomorrow then.

- Your Majesty.
- Lady Isabella.

Please sit.

To what do I owe the pleasure?

I came for the fitting
of my ball gown.

I wanted to share my delight
at Prince Colin's appearance

on television.

Her Majesty must be so pleased.

And you as well.

Yes, ma'am.

It was certainly a step
in the right direction.

I am cautiously optimistic.

Your patience and understanding
are most appreciated.

We will make a suitable husband
of him yet, I assure you.

I've waited a very long time
for him, ma'am.

I certainly don't mind
a few more days.

- So, until tomorrow then?
- Bright and early.

I'll be ready to work
in my denims and wellies.

I have no idea what those are,

but I'll trust
Penelope's judgment.

[phone chimes]

I should take this.
It's work.

Of course.
No rest for the weary.

Until tomorrow then.

What's wrong?

Well, now you've gone
and done it.

I have been woven into your
tapestry of lies and deception,

and when it inevitably unravels,
I'm going down with you.

What are you talking about?

Deidre called the office.

She wanted
Penelope's phone number.

Oh, no. What'd you say?

I told her those
European cell phones

are notoriously unreliable
in the U.S.

What? That's good!
You did good.

- Did I?
- Yes!

I'm not an experienced liar
like you.

I'm not an experienced liar.

You will be soon because you're
getting plenty of practice.

We only have to keep this up
for a few more days.

After Prince Colin
completes his community service,

I'll confess everything
to Deidre.

She'll be so happy with
how everything turned out,

it'll be like
no big deal at all.

You really believe that?

I have to. I'm in too deep
to turn back now.

What?

I took my eyes off him
for a second.

You lost him again?

Penelope, you knew
he was a flight risk!

There is something else
we need to discuss.

Yes, yes, of course,
right after I find Colin.

So it's "Colin" now, is it?

Hmm.

You're doing this
just to drive me crazy.

Well, good morning, Deidre.
Don't you look lovely.

Oh, well, thank you.

You look, um...

I mean it is time to go.

- Uh-huh.
- We need...

Excuse me!

If you don't show up
to your community service,

Sheriff Wrigley
will put you back in jail.

So come on, let's go.

Wait!

Colin, I am begging you,

begging you to please
take this seriously.

I am. I promise.

I intend to be
a dutiful public servant.

Thank you.

Right after a few more laps.

Colin!

[frustrated yell]

Prince Colin reported
for his community service

in Greenbriar, Idaho, today

and quickly became
the toast of the town.

And in addition to the excellent
pediatric care,

we offer a play area.

Aha!

No! A sneak attack!
I need reinforcements!

Miss Kelley!
Miss Kelley, help, help!

I'll save you, Your Highness!

Hah!

Better known for his
hard-partying ways

than his good deeds,

it appears the bad boy royal

might be turning over
a new leaf.

That is my dress!

Thank you so much for having us.

I hope we didn't cause
too much of a distraction.

You have a beautiful
facility here.

Thank you, I appreciate it.

And how's your puzzle
coming along?

It's gonna be
a picture of horses.

Mind if I help?

You know, I had a favorite horse
when I was your age.

You had your own horse?

Oh, we had lots of them.

- What's your name?
- Keisha.

It's a pleasure to meet you,
Keisha. I'm Prince Colin.

You're not a prince.

Yes, he is, baby.

It's an honor to meet you, sir.

Would you all mind giving us
a few minutes, please?

If you're a prince,
then where's your crown?

Well, I knew my crown
could never compete

with your extraordinary hat.

My mom made it.

She must love you very much,
making you such a fine hat.

Are you a princess?

Me? Oh, gosh, no, I'm not.

I didn't think so.

- [Colin laughs]
- Keisha!

This is my very good friend
Miss Kelley.

I do not currently have
a princess, but I will someday.

What kind of a princess
would you want?

You know something?

You're the first person
to ever ask me that.

I ask good questions.

You certainly do.

Let me see.
I would want a princess

who... is kind,

with a good heart.

Someone very clever and smart,

someone who laughs
and tells stories,

someone who tries to make life
easier for others.

And she has to be beautiful too.

Keisha, anyone who matches
that description

is already quite beautiful.

COLIN: I want to thank you
for today, Deidre.

It was quite delightful.

Just doing my job.

Yes, there's that,
but I mean for me personally.

It's one of the best days
I've had in quite some time.

Thank you, Colin.
I had fun too.

I don't get to say that
very often.

[phone rings]

Oh. Mom, of course.

Stop ignoring your mother.

So what's on tomorrow's agenda?

The Fourth of July festival
in the town square.

Just a series of photo ops,
nothing too strenuous.

How exciting.

I've never been in America
for Independence Day.

Until tomorrow then.

And if you need anything
before then, you have my number.

[knocking]

Penelope! Hi!

I hope I'm not disturbing you.
May I come in?

Of course, please.

Um, I'm sorry
if I seem surprised.

I just don't remember
telling you what room I was in.

You didn't. I can uncover
any information I need.

That's my job.

And what about you?
What's your job?

Because it appears you're
currently doing someone else's.

I have served the royal family
in varying capacities

my entire life.

There is no scheme,
trickery or intrigue

that I have not
previously encountered.

However, if it gets
the desired effect,

you'll get no argument from me.

If I'm not informed,
I cannot be of assistance.

So, dear, who the devil are you

and what has happened
to the real Deidre Kelley?

I don't know
how to explain this.

Try.

Um...

where do you keep your ketchup?

Your impersonation of me
is aggressively bad.

I'm not good with accents.

That much is obvious.

Well, Miss Cooper,

there are so many flaws
in your little scheme

that I truly don't know
where to begin.

I kept thinking it would be so
much easier if I were Deidre.

Everyone listens to her
and trusts her ideas,

so when you asked if I was her,
I just... I said yes.

I know I shouldn't have said it,

but I did,
and now I'm dealing with that.

I can say
with absolute certainty

that you will get caught,

and the fallout
will be horrendous.

It's just for a few more days,

and then I promise
I will confess everything.

Penelope, please,
will you help me?

We've done such good work.

That is true, and the prince
is clearly fond of you.

You think so?

It's not my intention
to flatter you.

I'm merely pointing out
a further complication.

Of course.

You've given me
much to consider.

You may be assured
of my participation for now,

but not my approval.

[sighs]

[door closes]

I'm going out.

Absolutely not.

So I wanted to serve
in the military,

but I'm an only child.

There is no spare for the heir.

That's why my mother
was always, uh, you know.

Protective?

I was going to say
smothering and intrusive,

but what you said
sounds much nicer.

I'm sure she just wanted
what was best for you.

In her own way,
that's likely true.

But some things
are worth a conversation.

Oh, dear.
No, I've been here before.

Back to the scene of the crime.

- We should go.
- Why?

Thinking of getting back in?

If that sheriff sees me here,
he'll go apoplectic.

I'll be picking up rubbish
at the roadside for a month.

You know the story
behind this fountain?

The town founder built it
in tribute to his wife.

Now it's where everyone goes
to make a wish.

Well, you know what they say:

- When in Idaho...
- No one says that.

But shouldn't they?

It's bound to be lucky.

My grandfather's face
is on the coin.

He was a lucky man.

I make my own luck,
but go ahead.

All right.

What'd you wish for?

Couldn't possibly tell you,
darling. Crown secret.

Where were you and who saw you?

Nothing to fear.

Miss Kelley was with me
the entire time.

About Miss Kelley...

She's quite extraordinary,
isn't she?

She's not what I expected.

You know something, Penelope?

All this time, my title
has been a burden to me.

This yoke around my neck

requiring me to be
something I'm not.

And I admit I have room for
improvement. Who doesn't, hmm?

Undoubtedly.

But Deidre's got me wondering,

what if I can do this
just as I am?

I might be the exact change
the monarchy needs.

What if my instincts
are actually correct?

Indeed, sir.

I'm sorry to keep you up.

And thank you for your concern.

See you in the morning.

Good night, Your Highness.

It's so frustrating
finding a table for a general.

He's done battle with
half the countries in the room.

Put him next to Switzerland.
They get along with everyone.

- Your Majesty.
- Lady Isabella.

What can I do for you?

I've just had
the most wonderful idea.

TV HOST: Happy Independence Day,
everyone!

We hope you've got plans
to make it a great holiday,

spending time
with family and friends.

- [phone ringing]
- In the news today,

a woman calls up 911
at the Burger Time...

- Hello?
- DEIDRE:Hi, Mandy.

Come to my room now.
And bring my clothes.

Yes, of course.
I'll be right there, Deidre.

Deidre, are you here?

Oh, I'm here.
We need to talk.

I brought your clothes.
Did you hear me knocking?

Yes, I did hear you knocking,

but I knew that you
would let yourself in.

Because you don't hesitate to do
whatever you want these days.

I... don't know
what you mean.

Look who appeared on
the cover of today's newspaper

with our client

in my $3,000 sundress!

That dress cost $3,000?

Look, I've seen your wardrobe.

Borrowing my dress was a good
choice, but you should've asked.

I bet now it smells like
pancakes and children.

I'm so sorry.

Mandy, appearing in photos
with our client

is simply unacceptable.

A good PR person
remains in the background.

We control the narrative
without becoming part of it.

You're absolutely right.

And you still haven't
returned my cell phone.

Yesterday was so busy
and today's Fourth of July,

so no one's open.

I will relay any messages.

[scoffs]

No more messages,
no more phone calls.

I cannot risk you ruining this
with another rookie mistake.

I am meeting with
that Penelope person.

Oh, but you might be contagious!

We will be fine. She had chicken
pox when she was a child.

Oh, okay.
But how do you know that?

I spoke to her
a few minutes ago.

You spoke with Penelope?

[knocking]

Deidre, don't open that door!

Why not?

You're...
not wearing lipstick.

Mandy, I have pink polka dots
all over my face.

I doubt she's gonna be
looking at my lips.

Miss Kelley!

Penelope Sheridan.

Thank you so much
for coming to my room.

I'm not quite ready
to be seen in public.

I'm so pleased to meet you.
We have much to discuss.

You sounded so different
on the phone.

Is that so?
How interesting.

Well, I hope Mandy
was able to serve you.

Oh, she's been
quite resourceful.

Hmm. Okay.

Well, thank you, Mandy.
We've got this.

- Hmm?
- Yes, I have some errands

that I'd like you to run.

But shouldn't I go
to the festival?

I'm sure Penelope can handle
a photo op on her own.

- But...
- Mandy, please. Do as I ask.

Yes, of course.

[sighs]

Penelope, tell me honestly.

Has she been any trouble?
It's so hard to find good help.

Actually, Miss Cooper
was quite remarkable.

In fact, at times

it felt as though
you were right there with us.

Hmm. Okay.

- Good luck.
- [line ringing]

COLIN: Hello. Prince Colin
of Edgemere here.

Leave a message after the tone,
and I will get back to you.

[beep]

[line ringing]

Hello. Penelope Sheridan.

Oh, Penelope?

Hi, it's Deid... Uh, Mandy.

Where is Colin?

- You're going too fast.
- [boy laughs]

- Yes!
- Whoa!

GIRL: Ooh!

COLIN: It's a goal!

Have you finished
Miss Kelley's errands?

You didn't tell her?

No, I didn't.

The disclosure would have caused
more problems than it solved.

I can't thank you enough.

No, you can't.

This charade only needs to last

as long as tomorrow night.

Then please do me the courtesy

of saving your series
of shocking revelations

until after we've departed.

The prince cannot know
about any of this.

Agreed.

Ah, Deidre,
I was hoping you'd join us.

I'm sorry to interrupt
your game,

but we do have a few things
on the schedule.

But it's the Fourth of July.

Surely we've earned
a little downtime.

Penelope, you should go
and enjoy yourself.

Appraise the handicrafts.

As you wish, sir.

Come on.
I want to see everything.

You, Miss Kelley,
are about to be the proud owner

of a stuffed bear.

I'm known for my marksmanship.

[pop]

[pop]

[pop]

[pop]

[pop]

And what color bear would
His Royal Highness prefer?

♪♪

Oh, it's so light and airy.

I can't believe you've never had
cotton candy before.

Leave it to the Americans

to find another innovative way
to eat sugar.

That's what makes
this country so great.

Speaking of which,
I think I hear music.

Come on.

♪♪

Miss Kelley,
might I have this dance?

I'm sorry. I'm not very good
at dancing.

Oh, thank goodness.
I only know how to waltz.

I'm glad we can
look foolish together.

Oh.

People are watching.

Yes, they usually are.

We should sit down.

I'm certainly not gonna stop
dancing with a beautiful woman

just because someone
takes a photograph.

You look lovely today,
by the way.

The clothing you wear for work
doesn't quite suit you.

It's like you're in uniform.

I sort of am.

Well, I'm glad you're off-duty.

I hope you finally returned
your mother's call.

I did. She wanted to hear
all about you.

Oh, and what did you say?

That you're charming
and impossible.

I won't deny either.

[laughs]

I am sorry to have taken you
from your family.

It was my choice.

I know I told myself it wasn't,
but it was.

And don't get me wrong.

I'm happy to have met you,
to be working with you.

I appreciate that.

But I do miss them.

When I was growing up, we'd all
spend Fourth of July together.

The whole family.

I would swim with my cousins,

Dad would grill hamburgers,
Mom would make deviled eggs.

It was the simplest thing,
but...

turns out those are the moments
that stick with you, you know?

The little things.

I always think of the morning
my father taught me to shave.

There were any number
of people on staff

that could've done that.

We have a barber
that lives in the palace.

But Father took it upon himself
to do it.

I suppose that's the measure
of affection, isn't it?

Giving of your time.

I think I come up short
in that department.

That is categorically untrue.

You've been marvelously
attentive.

Thanks, but I think my family
has a different experience.

My whole life, I watched my Dad
hope for a lucky break.

Don't get me wrong.
It's not like we were poor,

but he just wanted
the very best for us.

That's why I resolved
to make my own luck.

Work hard,
make my way up the ladder,

so I could make the life
he always wanted to give us.

Do you really think
that's the key to happiness,

climbing the corporate ladder?

What is?

Well, I certainly don't know.

I'm fumbling
just as much as you are.

I do know I'm happy tonight.

I'm where I want to be and
doing what I want to be doing

alongside someone
I'm want to be with.

Meeting you has changed me,
fundamentally.

Frankly...

you leave me gobsmacked.

♪ And I meant

Colin, darling, there you are.

I've been looking
everywhere for you.

Isabella!
What are you doing here?

It's impossible to get you
to return a phone call.

Your coverage in the press
has been so wonderful,

I simply had to join you.

Everyone in Edgemere
is bursting with pride.

And you must be
the legendary Deidre Kelley.

Forgive my manners.
Miss Kelley, this is...

Lady Isabella Vandevere.
I'm Prince Colin's fiancée.

Oh.

Of course.
It's a pleasure.

I'm sorry.
Penelope didn't mention...

That I was coming?

No. I just caught a lark
and decided to pop over.

Well, I'm sure you two have
a lot of catching up to do.

- Excuse me.
- Deidre, wait.

We'll talk tomorrow.
I have to go. Bye.

[fireworks exploding]

Colin, I wish you'd
tell me what was wrong.

I've come all this way
just to see you.

Nothing's wrong, Isabella.

I just want to get back
to the hotel.

But I would appreciate it
if you didn't introduce yourself

as my fiancée.

Our engagement won't be
announced for another five days.

- But that's a minor quibble.
- Not to me.

Colin, darling.
It's good that I'm here.

In the warm light of
your newfound reputation,

having an appropriate,
titled woman by your side

is the perfect introduction
of our union to the world.

This little
surprise trip of yours,

you catching a lark and taking
a nine-hour flight unannounced,

was it your idea or Mother's?

It was mine entirely.

Your mother encouraged it,
of course.

Colin.

[phone vibrating]

Penelope Sheridan.

Yes.

Yes.

I'm sorry,
would you repeat that?

[sniffles]

[sighs]

[sobs]

[exhales]

It's just a job.
He's just a client.

[whimpering]

[vibrating]

I'd wanted to talk
to Miss Kelley

about incorporating you into
the press coverage tomorrow,

but she's not
answering her phone.

Well, we are in the mountains.

Good evening,
Your Royal Highness.

Good evening.

The public relations executive
working with me, Deidre Kelley,

could I have
her room number, please?

- 3901-A.
- Thank you.

Lady Isabella, I have some
messages for you. Hold on.

You go on ahead.
Don't wait for me.

- Are you sure?
- I'll see you in the morning.

- Good night.
- Good night.

[laughs]

Lady Isabella!

The palace only just informed me
of your arrival.

What a lovely surprise.

I'm glad you think so.

Colin seems...
He seems troubled.

Oh. You mustn't take it
personally.

He's under a great deal
of pressure right now.

Where is he?
I need to tell him something.

He went to Deidre Kelley's room
to discuss plans for tomorrow.

His Royal Highness
is going to Miss Kelley's room?

Yes. There he goes now.

Penelope, is there
something going on?

What? No! No!
[laughs]

Excuse me.

Oh, look at that.
This one's going up.

[ding]

Okay, you two,
have a good night.

MAN: Good night.

- [panting]
- Penelope!

I sincerely hope you're not
attempting to visit Miss Kelley

in her room unchaperoned.

Haven't we had enough scandals
of late?

Fine, then come with me.

We don't have time for that.
We have an unexpected visitor.

So you know Isabella is here.

Of course I do.

I know everything at all times,
without exception.

But Lady Isabella
is not my concern.

Her Majesty the Queen
is coming to Idaho.

Good morning.

Deidre, I had hoped
to speak with you.

Well, now you can.

Congratulations on your
engagement, Your Royal Highness.

Ah, thank you. I...

I do wish you had
informed me sooner, sir.

We could've used it to our
advantage in the press coverage.

It's being announced
at the jubilee.

It was and is considered
confidential.

I'm so very sorry.

I'm sure you can forgive
a certain amount of secrecy

for the common good,
can't you, Deidre?

Of course.

So, a visit from Her Majesty.
How exciting.

This will be great.
This will be no problem at all.

Over and up.

Right there.

Just take those to the ballroom.

TV REPORTER: The real excitement
is here in Greenbriar tonight,

with the surprising news
that Prince Colin of Edgemere

will be joined by his mother
Queen Rosalind.

What?

- You want berries on the side?
- No berries, thank you.

Everyone, I'd like to introduce
Penelope Sheridan,

director of communications
for Her Majesty

Queen Rosalind of Edgemere.

She'll be taking you through
some of the essential protocol

for the queen's arrival
this evening.

So keep in mind we've got
a limited number of men,

so we're gonna have to limit
where we put 'em.

Danny, I need your help
with something.

Absolutely.
Excuse me.

So what can I do for you?

Actually, I don't have
a dress for a formal event.

Would it be too much to ask...

Miss Adelaide's Dress Shop,
right up the road.

- I got you covered.
- Danny, you're a life saver.

You have no idea.

Danny, I asked a dress
for a formal event!

This was what all the girls
wore to prom this year.

Exactly!
I look like I'm going to prom!

Well, I've never
bought a dress before.

I didn't know what to pick out.

[whimpers]

[ding]

Oh, darling,
I've forgotten my handbag.

- Shall we wait for you?
- No, I'll meet you downstairs.

- Oh!
- I was looking for Penelope.

She just went downstairs.
May I help you?

Well, I only just learned
about the queen on the news,

and my assistant's
not answering her phone,

and clearly I don't know
what is happening.

Forgive me. My manners.
My name is Deidre Kelley,

and I'm currently handling
the public relations

for Prince Colin.

You're Deidre Kelley?

I am. And you are?

Intrigued.

Oh, my, you've gone native.

This was all I could get
on short notice.

Well, I think
it's a lovely dress.

- No, you don't.
- Well, no.

It's quite hideous, isn't it?
But who cares, Deidre?

I mean, look around.

Everything that's happened,
it's because of you.

This is your triumph.

She's here.

Hello.

Welcome to Greenbriar,
Your Highness.

Thank you.

Hello.

Hello.

- Colin.
- Mother.

Oh, Mandy,
what have you been up to, hmm?

MANDY: Deidre!
You're feeling better.

That's wonderful.

Listen, I know this looks bad,
but I can explain everything.

I was suspicious of you
from the moment I met you.

Well, yeah,
the feeling was mutual.

Both of you, shh.
The queen is here.

Thank you, everyone.

It has been my great delight

observing how
His Royal Highness,

the Crown Prince,

has spent his time
in Greenbriar.

As a monarch and as a mother,

I have been curious to see
what it is about this community

that could awaken
a spirit of service

and leadership in my son.

And judging by
this lovely welcome,

I'm beginning to understand.

Now, on to more
pressing matters.

- I'm simply famished.
- [laughter]

Shall we continue to dinner?

Oh, no.

Isabella, I wondered
what had become of you.

Darling, I believe there's some
introductions to be made.

Your Royal Highness,
at last we meet.

My name is Deidre Kelley.

I'm sorry.
This is Deidre Kelley.

No, darling, there seems to be
a bit of confusion there.

The woman here
in the hideous dress,

to whom we have entrusted
the reputation

and future of the monarchy

is Deidre Kelley's assistant,
Mandy Cooper.

Isn't that right, dear?

I-I don't understand.

I just...

I wanted to prove
I could do the job,

that I could execute a plan
and the ketchup and...

Well, I didn't see the harm.

Prince Colin was just
another client, and...

I didn't expect that I would...

- You lied to me?
- I didn't mean to.

I just got so caught up
in the lie,

I couldn't find my way
back out of it,

and I felt awful the whole time,

but... I did do the job.

Your reputation is restored,
and the press loves you.

Colin, you even called it
my triumph.

That's true.

You've done your job very well.
It's quite impressive.

You're capable of tactics
I never expected from you.

Colin, don't say that.
I'm...

- I'm your friend.
- My friend?

I don't even know you!

Isabella, alert Penelope.

We return to Edgemere tonight.

Well...

that's unexpected.

You have lied to me with
every breath this entire week.

You deceived royalty,
not to mention an entire town.

I strongly suspect you owe me
money for a cell phone,

and I wouldn't be surprised
if you arranged for that toddler

to give me chicken pox.

I don't think I've ever seen
deception on such a level.

I'm gonna fly you
back to New York tomorrow.

You will pack up your desk,
and we are done.

Nod if you understand.

Well, I'm going to go
and salvage the banquet

before word of this disaster
reaches the queen.

[sighs]

Colin.

Do you know the worst of it?

I was foolish enough
to become hopeful.

I should've known
that any happy outcome

must be based on a lie.

I lied about my name and my job,

but everything else that
happened was true, I swear.

How can I trust that?

How can I believe
anything you say, Deidre?

See? I don't even
know your name!

It's Mandy Cooper.

Colin, I care about you
very much.

If you cared about me, you'd
have trusted me with the truth.

I'm sorry!

But why did you never mention
Isabella to me, not even once?

You know why.

And now I feel very foolish.

Goodbye, Miss Cooper.

[sobbing]

[clears throat]
You wanted to see me?

Yes. I just read your report.
Is it the truth?

It's everything I did, yes.

Well, there are some masterful
maneuvers here, Mandy.

You have real talent.

I can't afford to have that
brain working for someone else,

so I have decided not
to terminate your employment.

Really?

Well, if I were being honest,
I'd say the stunt reminded me

of something I would do
at your age.

Yes, I haven't met anyone
with that amount of chutzpah

in a long time.
You're quite an asset.

However, if you decide

to execute some devious
master plan in the future,

I expect to be included.

I don't know what to say.

Say, "Thank you, Deidre."

Thank you, Deidre.

There's just one thing
I can't figure out.

What's that?

Why didn't you fight for him?

I'm sorry?

Look at this picture, Mandy.

That is the face
of someone smitten.

Why didn't you fight for him?

Because he discovered
my rich tapestry

of lies and deception,

he's getting married
to Lady Isabella,

and he basically said
he can never trust me again.

So I think it's probably best
we just let this one go.

Hmm. If you say so.

I have an invitation
to the Queen's Jubilee

tomorrow night in Edgemere

as a thank-you for our efforts.

But I'm not the person deserving
of that gratitude, am I?

But the invitation's
for you, not me.

Oh, so now you have a problem
using my name.

But I have nothing to wear,

and I would have to fly out
tonight to make it in time.

Cinderella...

meet your fairy godmother.

Your arm, sir.

Your Highness, I have
the official statement

about your engagement.

All I need is your approval.

I'm sure if it meets
with Mother's approval,

I have nothing to add.

Oh, dear, we're regressing.

After we made such progress.

For heaven's sake,
what more do you people want?

I am fulfilling every single
duty to the crown.

I understand my responsibility,

and I have made my peace
with it.

Preston, may we have the room,
please?

Madam.

Colin, do you know what made
your time in Greenbriar

so extraordinary?

It wasn't that you
behaved yourself,

although admittedly
that was refreshing.

It was that you
followed your heart.

You allowed yourself to be
true to your instincts,

showing kindness
and concern for others.

It was my first glimpse
of the kind of monarch

that you will one day become,

and it filled me
with such pride.

And that's why I allowed
Miss Cooper's little deception

to continue.

You knew?

Of course I knew.
I have told you repeatedly:

I know everything
that's happening at all times.

Miss Cooper brought out
the best in you.

That doesn't go away
just because she has.

But it was all based on a lie.

Oh, a silly voice here,
and a false name there.

In all fairness, you weren't
forthcoming with her either.

I know that.

But there's not much
I can do about that now.

One day you will rule
our country,

and your decisions
will not buckle

under the weight of your title.

They will be fortified by it.

Just consider
all the consequences

and then do what you
genuinely feel is best.

It's likely you'll move
in the right direction.

♪♪ [waltz]

So sorry for the delay, darling.

I ran into the Spanish
ambassador's wife.

She always has
a delightful story to share.

It won't be long now.

Yes.

After the announcement is made,

shall we say a few words
or go directly to the dance?

Do as you wish.

Well, I want whatever you want.

Do you?

Or is that just what
you've been told to want?

What has gotten into you?

You don't love me, Isabella,
and I don't love you.

We get on all right, but we've
never for a moment been in love.

That's not a marriage.

At least not one
we'd ever actually want.

A royal marriage
is about far more than love.

It is about duty and
responsibility to the monarchy,

maintaining and preserving over
a hundred years of tradition.

These things matter, Colin.

Yes, they do matter.

But I will not marry
a woman I do not love.

I thought you had changed,

but you're just as childish
and spoiled as you ever were,

you selfish brat.

You're wrong.
I have changed.

And I want that same change
for you.

I want you
to explore possibilities,

to indulge your passions.

You don't think I had
other interests,

other hopes for the future?

But what we could accomplish
together exceeds that.

I was willing to set
everything aside for you.

Oh, I'm quite sure I never
asked you to do that.

You deserve a life better than
that which duty dictates.

I want you to fall in love.

Oh, how lovely, Colin.

How gracious and kind.

Isabella, I'm sorry.

Is that what this is about?

You think you love her?

The American? The liar?

I'm honestly not quite sure what
my feelings are for Miss Cooper.

But she made me realize
I deserve the chance

to live a life on my own terms.

And there's simply no going back
to the way things were.

Excuse me.

♪♪ [waltz]

What a lovely jubilee.

Thank you.

There you are.
Where's Lady Isabella?

It's nearly time
for the announcement.

Lady Isabella has returned
to her estate, I believe,

and there will be
no announcement.

Oh, Colin, no.
What did you do?

Mother, I will marry for love
or not at all.

And if you expect me
to one day assume the crown,

you'll have to learn to
occasionally trust my judgment.

There will be a scandal.

We've gone over a week
without one.

Must you always try my patience?

It appears I must.

- And you're certain of this?
- Quite.

And I will not be swayed.

I would appreciate your support,

if you're in a position
to offer it.

My darling boy, don't you know
you mean the world to me?

I hope you find
what you're looking for.

And you will, I know it.

Thank you, Mother.

Well, that was faster
than I expected.

You look absolutely perfect.

Not quite.
I forgot to pack shoes.

That's even more perfect.

Colin, I owe you an apology.

There's no need to fly halfway
around the world for that.

You could've just sent
a nice note.

I wanted to see you.
I know you're getting married,

and I have no intention
of getting in the way of that,

but...

I wanted to earn your trust,
if you'll let me.

I want us to be friends again.

That's very kind of you,
thank you,

and I appreciate the apology,

but I wasn't entirely honest
with you either,

and I'm truly sorry.

Thank you.

And I have decided
not to marry Isabella.

It appears my future is,
for the first time in my life,

quite uncertain.

It's very exciting.

Would you care to dance?

I don't know how to waltz.

You'll pick it up very quickly.

You're very determined.
