♪ Today I got a message
from you ♪

♪ It said you want to meet
around 2:00 ♪

♪ My apartment,
let's be together... ♪

Ah, Molly.

It's you.

What updates do you have
for us today?

These are terrific in theory.

Horrific to actually use.

But this is actual magic.

Oh...

Order me one of those today.

The review,
witty but still honest,

is in your inbox
along with the product shots.

So, since when are you
a product tester

on top of being
a content creator?

Regina asked me to do both
for this piece, so I said yes.

And forfeited what minimal
free time you still have?

Work comes first.

How does Lucas feel about that?

Oh, well... We might have
broken up last night.

What?

She means,
"What? Florals for spring?

How exciting!" Right, Jess?

Yeah.

Ooh.

It's Thursday.

What are you gonna do tonight?

Mm. We have trivia
on Thursdays.

We as in the you and Lucas
that are no more "we"?

That we?

Yes, that we.

I just thought
Lucas was solid

so I could focus
on other things, like work.

Do you want my opinion?

Sure.

You are amazing.

You are hardworking
and talented

and funny when you give yourself
the chance to be.

You deserve some space
for you,

outside of work,
outside of Lucas.

Would it be weird to say

I wouldn't even know
what that looks like?

Yes, but I know what you mean.

-What?
-Regina just handed out

the spring assignments.

Who got
the daily fashion coverage?

-Uh...
-Sara did.

Oh, great.

That is great for Sarah.

I'm sure you've heard,

but Agency is bringing on a
full-time content strategist.

And you, James, Jenna, and Sarah
are up for the position.

Your spring assignments
are how we will be selecting

the candidate.

What's my assignment?

My daughter recently launched

a line of subscription boxes
called Gal Pal Box

that are delivered
to your door each month

and are filled with products

that help you live
your best life.

Since you recently
found yourself single...

How'd you know I'm single?

News travels fast in this place.

Anyway, I want you
to take those products

and turn them
into a cute series

on reclaiming independence
after a breakup

where you chronicle
your adventures in singlehood.

That sounds very personal.

Can we just do
the standard unboxing situation

with, like,
a cool little infographic

rating each product.

I have some ideas on, like,
this apple-shaped...

That is so passé.

I want this to be a narrative.

Something that people
will be excited to follow,

to tune into.

Is there any other assignment
I can do?

Maybe something less about me.

I want you to do these series.

You're a fantastic writer,

but I need to know
you can handle anything

if I'm going to give you
that full-time position.

Right. Sounds great.

Great. We're calling it
the Single's Guidebook.

I'll get you your products
this afternoon

and you can get started
right away.

Make this series count

and that full-time position
could be yours.

Well...

No pressure or anything.

Yeah, none at all.

Good luck.

I'm here if you need me.

My bookshelf.

Uh, hey there.
Um, need any help?

No, but thank you, Jackson.

Uh, it might be better
if you take your heels off.

Why is that the first go-to?

"Take off your heels,
it'll be easier."

Just a suggestion.

Have you ever worn heels?

No, no, I haven't.

You would have no idea, then,

how hard or easy it is
to move something in them.

You sure you don't want
any help?

Oh, I'm sure.

I wanna do it on my own
'cause I can.

'Cause I can do anything...

on my...

my...

own.

All right, well,
may the Force be with you.

I've never seen Star Trek.

Fascinating.

Goodnight.

You're in early.

Oh, I had some stuff
to get done this morning.

Are you sure you're not just
throwing yourself into work

instead of actually
processing your feelings?

No, that's not what I'm doing.

That's not what
I'm wholly doing.

But I'll have you know,

I did a meditation last night.

Oh, yeah? How was that?

It was very productive.

Now I'm trying to find some
singles events for this series.

Ooh, how's it going?

Not great.

A tap/polka dancing class.

That's inventive.

Dog grooming class.

No dog required.

How does that even work?

Crypto Currency for a Life Solo.

That-- that is why I don't go
near the singles scene.

These are all so off-brand.

There are no solid options
for the series.

Yeah, there are a lot
of duds out there.

Oh, what about this?

Build-Your-Own
Hydroponics class.

That sounds really...

Oh, it's full.

Actually, a lot of these
are full.

Oh, what about this one?

A Gourmet Cooking
for a Party of One class.

That could be fun.

That sounds only kind of sad.

You're looking at this
the wrong way.

And how is that?

Like something to overcome

instead of a ride
on the journey of life.

Hey, I also do meditation.

And done.

We're confirmed.

What, you're going too?

Yeah, why not? I'm single.

What happened to Marvin?

Oh, well, we decided
that the only thing

we actually had in common

was our insane
pop culture knowledge

and that that's
not actually enough

to sustain a relationship,

so I'm a free agent.

All right, let's get you some
great content for this series

and land you
that full-time spot.

This is gonna be great.

Look excited.

Oh, that is looking so good.

You too, Jenny.

Love that.
Liam, keep it up.

-You're doing a great job, okay?
-Thank you.

Great, thank you, Mr. Larson.

All right, we'll see you soon.

You'll never guess who I just
got off the phone with.

Mr. Larson.

Okay.

He says he wants to meet.

He says that Arts Ed 4 Youth

is the kind of thing
his firm wants to invest in.

That's huge.

Huge, huge!

The only thing is,

he wants us to have more reach.

So I'm gonna reinvigorate
our social media platforms.

If you could just start working
the actual pitch.

Wait, you're gonna do
social media?

You don't know anything
about social media.

I'm hip and cool
and totally with the times.

Plus, I spent like six hours
this morning

reading about demographics
and impressions,

peak post times.

Thank goodness
for the internet.

Right.

Oh, uh, you still got
that thing tonight?

Uh, yeah, you wanna come?

Absolutely not.

But can't wait to hear
about it after, yeah?

Okay.

Sorry about that.

Ready?

I am so sorry,
but I can't go with you tonight.

We're having a meltdown
with one of our clients in LA

and I have to stay
and figure this out.

Anything I can help with?

No, it's just sifting through
contract negotiations,

but I'm sorry
you have to fly solo tonight.

That's all right.

Good luck with the sifting.

Let me know if you need
an emergency extra-large coffee

sent your way.

I will, thank you. Love you.

-Love you too.
-Have fun.

-Mm.
-It's gonna be great.

Okay.

Hi, guys.

Hi, guys, I'm Molly.

Hi, I'm Holly Martwell,
and that's not my name.

Hi, I'm Molly from Agency's
content creation team,

and I'm here to share with you
a cool new series we're doing

called, drum roll please,

The Single's Guidebook,

sponsored by Gal Pal Box.

Anyway, I recently
found myself single,

and this series
will help me bake--

I mean, make the most of that.

It's all about reclaiming
your independence

while spending some QT
with yourself,

so follow along
as I try to figure

this whole single thing out.

If you want.

Okay, thanks.

Bye.

This is for the promotion.

This is for
the promotion.

This is for the promotion.

Oh, okay.
Yeah, thank you.

Oh, sorry, I--

Molly?

Jackson.

What are you doing here?

Uh, here to take

a gourmet cooking class for one,
of course.

What about you?

Here to defend
the Quiche Lorraine

before the angry masses?

I came from work
and I'm here for work.

I'm doing a new series
for Agency.

Ah, let me guess.

Cooking but make it
professional.

It's basically a single's
guidebook kind of thing.

Oh, remind me
to read up on that one.

It's right up my alley.

Well, new posts
are going up daily.

Okay.

Uh...

Oh, here, want me to take one?

Uh, sure, that'd be great.

Okay.

Uh...

Hold on.

You're welcome.

Wait, what are you--
what are you doing?

Posing for the photo.

Well, that thing
with your mouth.

The...

Oh, laughing photos
get more engagement.

Oh, oh, I didn't realize
you were laughing.

Okay.

Thank you.

All right.

Hmm.

One more?

-Okay.
-Thanks.

Hey, uh, why was the snowman
in the vegetable garden?

Excuse me.

It's a joke.

Why was the snowman
in the vegetable garden?

It was picking its nose.

You're welcome.

Good evening, everyone,

and welcome to Gourmet Cooking
for a Party of One.

Make sure you've grabbed
all required items

from the counter over here.

Uh...

Uh, woops.

Sorry.

See, when I was younger,

my dad had a sailboat

and he would take us
out sailing.

-Hm.
-Hm.

Mm-hmm.

You know, uh, I always like
the one-handed crack.

Yeah, just...

Oh, okay, so you're a show-off.

Thank you.

Yeah, so, uh, as I was saying,
about the sailboat...

Is something burning?

Uh, yeah, I think so.

Anyway...

-Jackson?
-Uh, just a minute, Molly.

Uh, there was something--

-Jackson.
-What's up, Molly?

Uh, uh, your quiche is on fire.

See, she thinks
my cooking's on fire.

No, it's on fire.

-Yeah.
-Oh, shoot, shoot.

Uh...

-Uh, fire!
-Shoot. Uh...

-Oh. Ooh! Ah!
-Ah!

Woo!

Hi, everybody, I'm Jackson.

And that's how it's done.

Quiche Lorraine, everybody.

So you do a lot of those things?

Cooking classes?

Uh, no, actually,
that was my first one,

believe it or not.

Yeah, I believe it.

No, I mean singles events.

Yeah, they don't always end
in disaster like that one.

But I do know
the single scene

in this area
backwards and forwards.

I started doing them
when I moved to Savannah

as a way to meet new people.

That was like five years ago
and I'm still at it.

Five years?

Don't get me wrong,
I met a lot of great people,

just no one worth
committing to yet.

Or you're going about it
all wrong.

Oh, what do you mean?

I saw you
with that girl back there.

You have no issues
talking with people.

That much is clear.

Thank you very much.

-But.
-But.

It felt like you were talking
at her, not with her.

What was her name?

Meg-Sue-Johannah.

Exactly.

When dating, people want
to feel invested in,

not just smacked over the head
with a good pick-up line.

So my pick-up line was good?

You're missing the point.

No, I got the point,
but I also got the compliment.

You know, you don't strike me
as the type of gal

that would go to
a singles cooking class.

And what type am I?

One with a five-year plan
that's working out perfectly

with a finance bro boyfriend
who's about to propose.

Nailed it, didn't I?

Five-year plan, yes.

Finance bro, not so much.

He was in real estate,

and we broke up
earlier this week.

Oh, plot twist.

It's part of the reason
why I got this series,

because I'm single
and have no hobbies.

Which I don't think is fair,

because when you love
what you do,

is work really even work?

No, it's a hobby
you're getting paid for,

which means when I retire--

And watching you spiral
out of control is oddly amusing.

Let me guess,

you're the "See where
the road takes me" kind of guy?

Sure am.

I couldn't imagine
living my life

with a color-coded day planner.

I'd miss out
on all the good stuff.

Good stuff takes time
and careful planning.

No, see, in business,
I agree with you.

But in life, good stuff happens
when you live in the moment.

So, are you cool with me

using the photos
and videos from tonight

for the Single's Guidebook
thing?

Yeah, sure.

Well, thank you for your part
in what turned out to be

a surprisingly
entertaining night.

Well, I am happy
to be of service.

-Oh my gosh.
-What?

You guys are blowing up.

People are loving it.

I have to say,
this is not what I expected,

but it could be
an interesting angle.

What do you mean?

Your solo stuff
is a little flat,

but this guy,
what's his name?

Jackson.

I can't put my finger on it,
but it works.

You know, he's trending well
with the male followers.

It might be a good idea
for you two to team up.

This guy, uh...

Jackson.

Right, Jackson.

Could be a good angle.

Him trying to make
a real connection

while you're making the most
of singlehood.

Make it less of a how-to
and more of a slice of life.

What do you think?

Well, he's not very on-brand.

Right, but he's so off-brand
that he's basically on-brand,

you know what I mean?

Find a way to get him on board.

I mean, we'll compensate him
for his time, of course,

or tag him in the post.

But just let me know
what his terms are.

Don't take no for an answer.

What just happened?

I think you have a partner

for your
Single's Guidebook series.

Oh, hey, hey, Molly.

I got your Planning for Your
Future Retirement catalog.

Ah, you can never be
too prepared.

Hey, uh, Jackson.

-Yep?
-Um...

That new series I'm doing.

The Single's Guidebook thing.

Yes.

I was wondering if you'd want
to do that with me.

With you?

I'm really good
at being single on my own.

Right, which is why we'd focus

on helping you
make a real connection

while teaching me
how to be single.

Look, honestly,

finding quality singles events
has been next to impossible.

That's because you don't know
where to look.

Right, and you do.

So, would you partner with me?

I don't know, and show
my whole dating life

to the world
on social media?

Yeah, I don't know,
that seems a little--

Well, we wouldn't use
your last name.

And we'd make it fun.

We would have to use
your image, of course,

but other than that,

we'd share as much
or as little as you want.

Really, it's a win-win

because I am
an excellent wingwoman.

-Oh, are you now?
-Yes. I'm very smooth.

And you said so yourself,

you know the single scene
backwards and forwards.

Is that a no?

It's a maybe.

Tell you what.

I'll do it on one condition.

What's that?

If I'm gonna expose
my dating life

for the whole world to see,

I want separate promotions
for my foundation,

Arts Ed 4 Youth,
unrelated to the series.

-Like ads.
-Yeah, sure.

We got this big meeting
coming up with an investor,

and they don't think
that our social media reach

is very good.

So, a couple ads from you guys
would really be helpful.

Well, I'll talk to my boss
in the morning,

but that should work out great.

So, what do you say?

Are you ready to leave
the singles market

once and for all?

I don't know,
are you ready to learn

how to stand
on your own two feet?

I am.

I can't believe I'm doing this.

Okay, as am I.

-Deal.
-All right,

I will text you tomorrow
and we'll get started.

Okay.

Get ready.

You haven't seen
anything like this.

Ever.

-Good morning.
-Morning.

You're all good to go
with Jackson.

We can absolutely feature
his nonprofit on our socials.

I'll have Jessi and Reggie
film some promos for you two.

That would be great.

Oh.

-What's this?
-Your Gal Pal Box.

Pick some products in here

to incorporate into your posts
moving forward.

And just a few notes.

We really want
something elevated,

polished, personal.

Make singlehood look glam,
if you know what I mean.

Yes, understood.

Great.

Oh, and Jenna is officially
out of the running

for the position.

W-- why?

Well, her content wasn't
quite what we expected

for a full-time Agency
content creator.

Not elevated enough.

Mm. I didn't realize you were
making cuts as we go along.

Oh, yes,
we have no time to waste.

We want that new person
boarded next week.

-Good luck.
-Thanks.

Hey.

Hi. Uh...

Here, I got you a latte.

That was nice.

Why a latte?

Because you look like
the kind of woman

that drinks the same cup
of coffee every day.

I'll take that as a compliment.

-So I was right.
-Not exactly.

I am a drip coffee, light cream.

Good to know.

I'm more of a two-and-a-half
shots of espresso

with sugar and soy milk
on the bottom

with almond foam
and cinnamon sprinkles on top,

just in case
you ever need to know.

-Noted.
-So I was thinking

that we just go for it,

just really put ourselves
out there.

Skydiving.

Running a 5K.

Singles paintball tournament.

You're kidding, right?

No, you gotta push the limits,
you know?

Really test yourself.

While that sounds dangerous,

I do agree we need to do things
that give great photo moments.

Hence the paintball.

I was thinking something
more along the lines

of a ballroom dance class.

Boring.

Ballroom is all technique.

There's no passion.

Okay, Mister Ideas,

we do have some guidelines
we have to work within.

Regina wants polished, personal.

So, sticking with
the dance theme.

-Salsa.
-That was fast.

Well, think about it,

salsa is basically
the language of love.

Ballroom feels more on-brand.

Salsa feels more exciting.

You know what, let's settle this
the old-fashioned way.

Paper-Rock-Scissors.

That's really
how we're doing this?

Yep.

You're on.

Mm-hmm.

Boop.

You can't boop me.

Ah, I believe that
that is a win for salsa.

And I know
just the place too.

The chicks are really gonna dig
these sweet moves.

Oh, I am sure they will.

Just, uh, don't wear that, okay?

What's wrong with this?

It looks like you've been
riding cross-country

in a rideshare situation
for the past three days.

So, I'm chill, relaxed,
and ready for adventure?

Wear a shirt with buttons,
Jackson.

I don't know if I own
a shirt with buttons.

I'll see you later.

I was kidding.

I own more shirts
with buttons.

Yep, I think.

Well, that will be fun.

Fun's not the goal.

A stellar series for Agency
is the goal.

Well, maybe this'll become
your thing.

-My thing?
-Yeah.

Like what people know you as.

The salsa dancing girl.

It's kind of cool.

I already have a thing.

Content creation.

Okay, we need to give
your introduction to everyone.

Just a quick who you are
and why we're partnering up.

-Ready?
-Okay, yep.

Hello, I'm Molly from
the Single's Guidebook.

Why are you talking like that?

Like what?

Like you're narrating
an audiobook.

That's not what I sound like.

That's exactly
what you sound like.

"Hello, world, I'm Molly.

Trying to get you to think
that I'm cool."

Let's go again.

Hey, guys, I'm Molly
from the Single's Guidebook.

After the other night's
cooking fail,

I've taken it upon myself
to help a fellow single,

Jackson, the one who set
the oven on fire.

-Hey!
-To help him

meet someone
and make a real connection.

And I will teach Molly how
to navigate the single scene

and maybe have some fun
while doing it.

As long as
there's no more fires.

No promises.

See, that was so much better.

Okay, we'll go with it.

All right.

All right.

All we have to do is...

Feel the rhythm of the music.

Ooh, save it for the class,
Don Juan.

Okay, in order to be
the best wingwoman possible,

I need to know three qualities
you're looking for in a woman.

Okay, she's gotta be fun,
honest, and intelligent.

Bonus points if she likes
classic literature.

Well, I'll be on the lookout
for a woman

holding a Jane Austen title
while dancing.

All right, and I'm gonna go
check out the dance floor.

Hey, guys, Molly here.

About to try
some salsa dancing.

What am I doing?

Hey, guys,
Molly here.

About to try
some salsa dancing.

Who-- who am I?

Um...

Hey, guys,
Molly here.

At a salsa dancing class.

I'm here with Jackson.

And it looks like he's already
made a connection.

I will keep you updated.

-Yeah, are you?
-Actually,

I'm here with a friend, but...

Who was that?

That was Heather.

Single, never salsa-ed.

All right, everyone,
let's partner up

and form two lines
for our warmups

across the floor.

Okay, wingwoman,
it's your job

to get me partnered up
with Heather.

How am I supposed to do that?

You said this is your domain.

I mean, if not, I can go--

No, no, get in line,
I'll make it work.

Okay, all right,
pardon me, sir.

Sorry. Ah, watch your back,
excuse me, thank you.

Whoa.

Hey...

Sorry.

Sorry, sir.

Sorry, sorry, sorry.
Okay, all right.

I haven't seen
anything like that.

Sergio!

Just in time. Raul, yes

Oh, but he, uh--

Guess that leaves us.

I guess so.

Uh...

I'm sorry, I tried.

I know-- I know you did.

I'm actually
a little bit shocked.

It would have worked

if Rico Suave
hadn't foiled my plan.

Yeah.

Okay, so, grab your
partner's hand and begin.

Quick, quick, slow.

Quick, quick,
slow.

And one, two, three.

-I hate this.
-Why?

Because you're not
automatically good at it.

I think you're doing great.

No, they're doing great.

Don't compare yourself
to other people, all right?

Just do you.

Nailed it.

What just happened?

I don't know--
oh, we still need

to get stuff
for your series, right?

Content of you dancing.

-Oh--
-So, uh...

Hmm.

Just dance or something, okay?

And in three, two...

No, it's five, six,
seven, eight.

Okay, whatever, I'm rolling.

What are you--
what are you doing?

-Uh...
-Just breathe.

Relax and feel the music.

Dance gracefully.

You're a natural.

There you go.

-That is gold.
-Okay.

All right.

God, you are a terrible dancer.

Okay, have you ever
seen yourself dance?

Uh... not really, maybe--

I was watching you.

Okay, well, you want to try
to dance some more?

Shall we stay and--

Okay, let's go.

I can go find Heather.

Oh.

You gotta post that.

It's good, real.

My boss doesn't want real.

She wants aspirational,
polished personal, remember?

Yeah, but what does Molly want?

Social media is better
when it's authentic.

There's enough people out there
trying to be perfect.

The world doesn't need that.

Says the guy
who's not on social media.

Yeah, well,
at least I'm authentic.

"Life is about embracing
your imperfections,

so here's to that.

Oh, and that cute girl
Jackson was talking to?

Swept off her feet

by a real-life
romance novel character.

More soon, M and J."

Wow.

Don't make a big deal out of it.

Why? You didn't even have
a filter on that.

Don't make me delete this.

You'd better not.

James, I'm sorry.

Good luck.

Molly.

Hey!

Your post last night,
not your best.

Stick to the brief, okay?

James, uh, what's James doing?

Uh, he's cut.

He's a great writer, but

not enough charisma
for our team.

Anyway, it's just down
to you and Sarah now.

Oh, I was hoping I could run
some ideas by you,

you know,
in case I get the spot.

Sure.

So I was thinking
we could stick

with the whole guidebook idea

and create more content
that helps users

build a connection
with themselves.

Something along the lines of
A Guide to Living Mindfully.

Or Get to Know Your Creativity

with journal prompts, some...

How about Three Ways
to Deepen Friendships?

Uh... Easy Ways to Cook Kale?

Oh, that last one was good.

The goal is
to make people believe

that you have the secret
to a better, happier life.

That's how we sell products
and ads.

Sarah pitched some good stuff
this morning.

How to Wake Up Beautiful,

Tricks to a Glowing Skin,

that kind of thing.

So what about things
that could actually

better people's lives?

If it doesn't sell
in our online boutique

or it doesn't bring in
ad dollars,

it doesn't matter.

That kale thing was good,
though.

We are getting ready to partner

with a nontoxic cookware line,

and that might be a solid fit.

Would you just tell me
what we're doing?

♪ It's somebody...

Oh, you've got to be kidding me.

What screams, "I'm confident
and good by myself"

like belting one out
in front of a room

full of strangers?

What product are you peddling
this evening?

Uh, peel and stick lipstick.

How does that even work?

I don't know.

But it was in the box,
so I had to shoot it.

Well, then stage lights
might be perfect lighting

for said photo.

Oh, come on, you got this.

And if you don't,
I'm right there beside you.

Okay?

Hey, come on, come on.

Come on!

It's a crowd favorite.

That duet up there?

You guys crushed it.

Is she...

Oh, no, she's just a friend.

Neighbor.

Friendly neighbor.

Hi!

-I'm Jackson.
-I'm Ellie.

-Nice to meet you.
-Nice to meet you!

Um, this is my favorite spot.

You ever come here a lot or--

I've been around.

Have you ever, uh...

turned around?

Have I what?

Here.

Had a cold drink?

Good cold drink?

Okay, um, it was nice
to meet you!

Good drink. What?

Why would you throw me off
like that?

I was just getting in my flow.

I was trying to get you
to ask her about her

as in what does she think

of the cool
specialty cocktail menu?

Yeah, I never would've
got that from, brr!

But yeah, no, cool. Got it.

Next time I'll know.

I think I'm karaoke'd out.

Are you hungry?

I'm starving.

I have always wanted
to come here.

You've never been
to Food Truck Alley?

Well, Lucas, my ex,
he was more of the Michelin star

with a seasonal taste menu
kind of guy.

Mm, sounds very posh.

Well, I liked it
because I thought

I was supposed to like it.

You know, we seemed
sophisticated and grown up,

but I think I was missing out
on some good stuff.

Well, I can say for certain
that you definitely were.

And now that your "we"
has turned into just a "me"...

Yeah, you know, I thought
we met each other

and it was good,
so it was good enough, you know?

Meet a great guy,
get settled down, check!

We'd been on cruise control
for the past few years.

Oh, that is
my absolute nightmare,

letting life happen to you

instead of being
intentional about it.

Life is meant to be lived
in drive,

not cruise control.

So you seem pretty good
at putting yourself out there,

not caring
what other people think.

What other people think about me
is none of my business.

I only care
what I think about me.

And you think you're great.

Well, I am.

Look,
in all seriousness,

it took me a long time
to get here.

I want to be a good example
for the kids

that I work with every day.

They look up to Dave and me,

and I never want them to feel

like they have to be anything
other than who they are,

that they're good enough.

What's going on?

We were just tagged in a video.

-What?
-Several videos, actually,

under the hashtag
JacksonandMolly.

Wow, we have hashtag fans.

You don't have to say "hashtag."

Why? It's hashtag fun.

Okay, social media, yeah.
Master!

Okay, since this is
your first time here,

we gotta get
the kitchen sink cheese fries

and the bacon, uh...

-bacon ice cream, yes.
-We're on.

We'll try those, okay?

How you doing over there?

You know, I didn't think
cranberries and jalapeños

would work on cheese fries,

but these are actually
pretty good.

You wanna try 'em?

Sure, I'll have one.

Mm!

You know, it must be great
to get paid to eat wild food

and hang out with great company.

I appreciate how you slipped
yourself a compliment in there.

You like that?

So, have you been
at the Foundation long?

About four years.

I love it.

Getting to see the kids
explore their creativity,

uh, find something new,
see what they're good at.

You know,
there's nothing like it.

That's really cool
what you do with them.

I'm sure the ladies
in the single scene love that.

Well, I wouldn't know.

It's not something
I usually talk about.

Why not?

I don't know, it just seems
too weird and deep and personal.

Hmm, so that's your problem.

What?

You like to stay on the surface.

You're afraid
to actually open up

to let somebody really see you.

I am not.

Mm, then why is talking
about your work

and how much you care
for the kids too personal?

Whatever, enough about me.

How long have you been
at Agency?

Okay, we're just gonna
put a pin in that,

because that, my friend,
was a breakthrough.

Pin!

But I've been at Agency
for just under three years.

I started off
as an outside freelancer

helping their regular team,

and they liked what I did,
so they brought me in

and gave me a desk
and assignments

whenever they had extra space.

Now, they're looking to bring

another content creator on
full-time.

And you're in the running?

Yeah, there's a few of us
vying for the spot,

but I'm hoping this series
gives me what I need

to show them I am ready
for the position.

That's why everything needs
to be perfect.

My main competitor, Sarah,

her series is
quite literally perfect.

That is way overproduced.

Nobody even looks like that
in real life.

Well, isn't that the point
of social media?

It's everybody's highlight reel.

What do you want
to put out there?

Perfect is boring.

Real is way more interesting.

"Post-show cheese fries
with everything you can think of

and a cup of ice cream
with bacon.

Both very odd, both delicious.

Say yes to the present moment
and take a bite..."

see what I did there?

"...out of the things
that challenge you.

Swipe to see our epic
karaoke performances

and let me know what
your favorite karaoke song is.

Lip shade,
Red Rose by Gal Pal Box."

And post.

That was almost as cheesy
as those fries.

These are a little bit
more delicious, though.

And spicy.

Molly?

Okay, so problem.

Last night's post was
a little... cringey?

Cringey?

Yeah.

Um, keep the caption shorter,

a little less of
whatever that was.

Go for polished personal.

Relatable,
but also aspirational.

And don't overshare.

So be fake.

Not fake,
just say a little less,

keep it light and simple.

Got it?

If you need inspo,
just look at Sarah's captions.

Sorry I'm late.

Oh, that's quite all right,
dear!

I was just catching up
on some local events.

They have flower market,

they have a pottery workshop,
a poetry reading,

and coffee bean roasting class!

That sounds cool,
can I see that real fast?

Thank you.

So how did your bridge club
craft day go?

Well, Maggie was late as usual,

and Lottie forgot it was
her week to bring snacks.

So it was not good?

No.

It was great!

Marian ran next door

and whipped up
her three layer dip,

and by the time Maggie
finally showed up,

she had this crazy story

about her high school
sweetheart's grandson

pulling her over!

I mean, what are the odds?

They're going to dinner
tomorrow.

Mm!

Okay.

Did the crafting go well?

It wasn't really
all about the crafting, dear.

It was about spending time
with the people that I love.

Did it go perfectly?

No.

But that's quite all right,

because nothing in life
ever goes according to plan

no matter how hard you try.

You know, it's all about
those little moments.

That's really good advice.

Well, it took me years to learn.

I used to get so upset
if every little thing

didn't go according to plan.

And then I realized,
I was missing out

on some of the best moments
of my life

just trying
to make things perfect.

Perfect is just an illusion,
dear.

So, Regina gave us the go-ahead
to post videos

promoting the Foundation
and the charity event

and put them
on Agency's socials.

I was thinking that
we break everything up

into these three sections.

Wow, you put a lot of work
into this.

Oh, that was the bare minimum.

Now, the first one is
just an introduction

to you and the program,

the second is the charity event,

and the third is how
to get involved and donate.

Which, can you come into
the office tomorrow to film?

Yeah, sure.

Great.

Where are we going?

Oh, it's my turn
for the surprise.

Okay.

What are we doing here?

A poetry reading.

You said bonus points
if she likes classic literature.

What's more classic
than Emily Dickinson

and Oscar Wilde?

I mean, nothing, I guess.

Exactly.

I told you
I was a good wingwoman.

Who are you
and what have you done

with Molly Hartwell?

Man, poetry is my thing.

No, it's not.

Really?

I minored in poetry in college.

One of our assignments was
to create a nonlinear poem

out of an inanimate object
and give it a full life.

I chose glasses
and titled it Nose Glass.

That poem ended up
in the school paper,

so I might be a genius.

Well, I also took
a poetry class in college.

Hm. We'll have to
compare work sometime.

You're on.

I know this Willy Wonka
creative mind of mine

will take you very, very far.

Just don't forget,
I'm just Hollywood,

and you're the star.

Thank you, Hollywood.

Okay, next up
we have Molly Hartwell.

You're up next.

To dance is to live.

To live is to love.

To love is to transcend.

There are no other words
to live by

but those that lead you
to dance.

Thank you.

Thank you, Molly...

Uh, it was very... inventive.

"Inventive"?

Yeah.

And next up we have
Jackson Merrington.

Okay. Um.

What can I say
about these things?

Mundane things?

Like a cup of coffee
on a cold morning

or the sun reflecting
off the dewdrops.

Who am I to tell you
about the beauty of your world?

I am no one.

But I hope you see it.

Everywhere.

Around you.

Inside of you.

It's been a great evening.

We have one more
reading tonight.

Suzanne Johnson,

you'll be our last
poetry reader.

What was that?

I, uh, you know...

Hey.

-Hey.
-Hey.

Great job up there.

These things, I love them,

but sometimes
you just never know

what you're gonna get.

Yeah, I hear you on that.

But your reading was fantastic.

Jaspen, right?

I'm Cara, by the way.

Oh, uh, Jackson, and, uh,
yeah, Jaspen's my favorite.

Um, what about you?

What do you like about Jaspen?

I did my senior thesis on him.
Yeah.

Oh, yeah?
Where do you go to college?

Oh, I went up at NYU.

"Life's too short
to take yourself too seriously

and to not dance.

Hashtag poetry.

Oh, and Jackson may or may not
have met someone.

Stay tuned for updates."

"Thanks, girl.

Was nervous, but glad I did it."

Great.

Molly, your next product
to promote!

Thanks.

And I saw your post last night.

Poetry was mm, but push more
on Jackson and that new girl.

People loved it.

They want more.

Oh, hello!

Hi.

Jackson, hey!

Hey.

What are you wearing?

What's wrong with it?

Nothing! It just doesn't
look like you.

We're asking people
for donations.

People who do that wear ties.

If it doesn't feel authentic,
you shouldn't do it.

So did you get that copy
I emailed you this morning?

Uh, no, I got it, yeah,
it looks great.

Great.

So how was it?

Uh, her name's Cara,
into fashion,

she actually has her own line.

That's cool.

Yeah, she likes poetry
and traveling

and this is the first girl
I've met in a long time

that I could see
possible potential with.

That's huge.

Yeah, I gave her my number,
said she'd--

What?

Oh, my gosh, she's calling me
right now, what do I do?

Answer it!

Uh...

Hey!

Jackson?

Uh, hey, Cara.

Hey. I was just calling to say

it was so great
to meet you last night.

Yeah, it was great
to meet you too.

Uh...

Listen, uh, I was wondering

if you wanted to go to a movie
in the park with me tonight?

Yeah, I think I can swing that.

Text me the deets, okay?

Bye, Jackson.

You got it, dude!

See you tonight!

You nailed it.

Until the end.

Yeah, the end was
a bit weird, right?

But you have a date!

Got a date.

Oh, uh, Sammy, Sonya,

I want you guys
to meet somebody.

This here is Molly.

Hi! Are you guys ready to shoot?

All right, can you move that
just to the left, to the left?

That's perfect,
that's great, right there.

If you guys will squeeze in
just a little bit?

Say cheese, say cheese!

One more!

Okay, you look great.

So yeah, stay on your marks.

Jackson, Molly, we're ready
whenever you guys--

-Oh, okay.
-Yeah, sure.

Just one second.

And just a little bit of this.

Okay, now you're ready.

Okay, everybody ready?

Yeah. Hey, if you guys
get nervous,

just look at me, okay?

Okay.

And three, two, one.

Hi, I'm Jackson Merrington,

Director of the non-profit
Arts Ed 4 Youth.

So, Sammy's amazing.

Right? When he first came to us,

he was struggling
to focus in school.

And then we tried
a few different things,

and then when we put him
in front of the piano,

he really lit up!

That's really cool.

Yeah, that's my favorite part
about what we do,

helping kids to connect
to their creativity.

You know, Sammy's focus
and drive for learning piano

has helped out
in all the other areas

of his life, too.

I mean, the kid's basically got
straight As now.

All right.

Did you bring your own clothes
with you?

Uh, no.

This is what all the cool kids
are wearing.

Let's maybe try another one.

How'd our poetry reading
post do?

Um, bit better
than the other posts.

Well, that's good, right?

What? You said you wanted
something different.

The brief wasn't
to take her to court.

But I did pass the bar exam.

Are you messing with me?

Okay, one more.

All right.

Mm.

I know what I'm doing tonight.

You like it?

I love it.

Chic, but still you.

Live from the Boutique on Main,

Jackson is getting ready
for his date tonight.

How do we like the fit?

He's going
to a movie in the park

with a fashion designer
named Cara,

and he is V excited,

aren't you, Jackson?

We will report back soon!

Was that weird?

What?

Sharing all those details
about the date.

No, that's kinda
the point of the series.

Should we check out?

Uh, yes, but I'm gonna
get the suit, too.

Just to be safe.

Ooh, flowers are always
a good idea.

Wait, how do you know
how to do all this?

Oh, I did a whole series
on DIY flower arrangements.

No, I mean, the dating stuff,

the restaurant suggestions,
the flowers.

It's like you're
my dating fairy godmother.

I told you I was
a good wingwoman.

Well, Agency is lucky
to have you.

You know,
when I started at Agency,

I was coming off of years
of the freelance hustle.

I think I was so excited
to be in an office setting

with a full-time client,

I never stopped to consider

if it's something
I wanted long-term.

Now with this full-time spot,

I'm questioning myself,
doubting,

like I'm always one step behind.

I felt that way before

at the corporate
data entry firm I was at

before the non-profit.

What was the issue?

Just wasn't the right fit.

No matter how hard I tried
to fit in the company's box,

I just couldn't do it.

It wasn't until years later
that I figured out that

what I wanted to do was actually
what I was meant to do.

I don't know,
I've been at Agency so long,

I don't see how
I'd switch gears at this point.

Let me ask you a question.

If you could do anything
in the world,

what would that be?

Create content that is fun,
relatable, and helps people.

Content that connects,
that forms friendships

across digital platforms.

My two cents?

I know you're gonna
give them to me

whether I want them or not.

You should never give up
on your dreams,

no matter what.

And if Agency isn't it,
then keep looking.

You get one life.

You shouldn't give it over
to something you don't love

with your whole heart.

I'm a little freaked out

by how deep and insightful
that was.

You're welcome.

Here, these should be perfect.

Okay.

Oh, what, do you have a date
tonight as well?

These are for my grandma.

Well, these are for you

for being my wingwoman.

Good luck tonight.

You got this.

I think you can officially add
"wingwoman" to your resume.

Right at the bottom. Just...

So, while Jackson and Cara
are out on their date,

I am doing a little
hashtag self-care.

Will report back
on this green algae

purifying face mask
by Gal Pal Box,

and is this acceptable attire
to wear to the grocery store?

I feel like this might require
some chocolate ice cream,

and I am fresh out.

I'm glad we decided
to come here.

It's a cool spot.

-Yeah.
-Um...

You want to sit up front
and watch it from up there?

Not really.

The eye strain alone
will give me a migraine

for like three days.

Okay, yeah, I figure
we could hang back here.

So fashion, is that something
you were always into?

Yeah, pretty much.

Speaking of, I'd love
to dress you sometime,

help you pick out
some new pieces.

These are fine,

but I think we could
find you something

a little more elevated.

Uh, yeah, cool, that'd be great.

You know, I tend to dress
more on the practical side

'cause I work with kids.

They're my priority.

They take up most of my time.

Cute!

But where are you on coffee?

On?

Like are you drip,
latte, espresso?

Um, I haven't really
thought about it like that.

Uh... I guess
I just like it hot.

I'm not really
an iced coffee kind of guy.

Okay, update.

The mask felt weird,

gross even,
but it is 100% worth it!

Oh, and Amy-bo-bamy,
yes, I have tried the clay one.

This was
a thousand times better.

The before.

♪ All my treasures I get...

-Thank God.
-Okay.

Well, that was good!

Yeah, it was nice.

Uh, you hungry?

I know this great spot
around the corner we can go.

Oh, um, I'd love to,
but I'm beat.

Yeah, I have
a big meeting tomorrow,

so I need to get home.

So rain check?

Uh, yeah, sure.

Okay, I'll give you a call
and set something up, yeah?

-Okay, yeah.
-Thanks for a great night!

Good movie.

Molly?

You okay in there?

Jackson! Hi.

What's going on in there?

Oh, just doing
some home improvement stuff.

It's nothing.

Sounded like a loud nothing.

Yeah, I was trying
to hang some curtains

and then I saw these boxes
from when I had an old roommate,

and there's a bookshelf,

but the curtains, I realized,

you need a drill,
not a hammer, to hang them.

Oh, uh, you want some help?

I've got a drill.

I'll come back
and I'll fix it, okay?

No, I'll fix it!

But with your drill.

Okay. I'll be back
in just a second.

All right, now put
some force behind it.

I am!

No, you're not.

Put your weight into it.

There you go, come on.

Don't be afraid of it.

I'm not.

Well, you're sure acting
like you are.

Okay, well, I'm not.

Yeah, oh, there you go!

-All right!
-Got it, okay. Uh...

Hand me that.

Okay, hold on.

This one?

Yeah.

Okay, here,
give me the drill.

And just there.

You know, they're not quite...

Nope, they're great
and I love them.

Okay, on to the next one.

There's more?

Oh, we're just getting started.

Great. Um...

Eat up, Buttercup.

You're home late.

I take it the date went well?

Yeah, it did. Uh... she's great.

She had an important
meeting in the morning,

so we had to skip dinner.

Skip dinner?

Then why are you home so late?

Oh, I was teaching Molly
how to use power tools.

At Molly's.

Yeah, she wanted me
to help her hang these curtains.

You've been spending
a lot of time together.

It's for the series.

Uh-huh.

Anyway, I'm off to bed.

-Good night.
-All right.

G'night, bro.

So, you know that thing?

That thing you've been
putting off doing

because it's too hard
or too scary or whatever?

Well, here's your sign
to just do it.

Everything is too scary
until it's done,

and my thing is this bookshelf

that has just been
sitting in its box

in my living room.

So, set you here.

Are you ready for this?

'Cause I'm sure not.

Sometimes, you just gotta know
when to call it quits.

Bookshelf, 1; Molly, 0.
And a half.

I'll get back to this tomorrow.

Or the next day.

Whatever.

You know that thing?

That thing you've been
putting off doing

because it's too hard
or too scary or whatever?

Everything is too scary
until it's done,

and my thing
is this bookshelf

that has just been
sitting in its box

in my living room.

Molly, a word?

Of course.

I took down
that bookshelf video.

I wasn't quite sure
where you were going with that.

Authentic
but still aspirational.

Basically, polished personal.

I mean, everyone struggles with
building box furniture, right?

So I figured it'd be
a fun, unifying thing.

Yeah, but it was... sloppy,

and there was
no product placement,

and the engagement level
was embarrassing.

Look, um, I'm not really sure
this is working.

I'm thinking about
pulling the plug...

No, no.

One more shot, please.

I can do aspirational.

I'm so aspirational.

Jackson and Cara.

You liked the stuff
with Jackson and Cara, right?

Yeah.

Well, Jackson has
his charity event later.

I can make my next post
all about them,

their relationship details,

photos of the fancy outfits,
the works.

Okay.

People do love love.

I'll get the engagement back up.

I promise.

Last chance.

Oh, hi. Wow, you clean up nice.

You don't look so bad yourself.

Yeah, I'm becoming
a shirt-with-buttons kinda guy.

Sorry.
Can I steal him for a sec?

Of course.

So, things seem to be going well
with you and Jackson.

I mean, yeah, it's been fun.

Um, I hear he really likes you.

It's just a casual thing,
he knows that.

Oh.

Babe, hi!

Oh, I miss you too.

I'm good.
I'm just at this thing.

Why? What's up?

Oh yeah?

I think I can swing that.

Text me the deets?

Okay. Bye.

So, I don't know how
to ask this... chill-ly?

But are you seeing other guys
besides Jackson?

Why?

It's not like Jackson and I
are exclusive.

Does Jackson know that?

We never said
we were exclusive!

Game plan.

Mark.

This is my brother, Jackson.

Ah, thank you for coming,
Mr. Larson.

Of course.

My partners and I were
just talking about

how impressed we are
that you were able

to partner with Agency.

That's not usually
our cup of tea,

but the videos that
they put out for you guys

are really well produced.

The only thing
we're concerned about is

the personal angle.

Uh, personal angle?

Yeah. This dating-series thing
feels a bit lowbrow.

We don't usually recommend
our organizations make light

of their nonprofits.

Oh, well, I can be done
with that series.

I was just doing it
to raise awareness

for this event.

By putting your personal life
out there?

Well, we all gotta
start somewhere.

But I can be done with it.

I'm sure that
Molly would understand.

I'll let her know
as soon as we're done here.

Right. As soon as you
put a button on that,

we can move forward
with this partnership.

Thank you so much, Mr. Larson.

We look forward
to working with you.

Yes, sir.

Thank you. Thank you, Mark.

Hey, guys.

First of all, how much
do we love these earrings?

They're new,
by Gal Pal Box.

Okay, I need some advice.

What would you do if you knew
the girl your friend was seeing

was also seeing other people?

Would you tell him
or just leave it alone?

Obviously, I'm talking
about Jackson and Cara.

Let me know
in the comments below.

Keep you updated.

Oh, Jackson! Hey.

Where's Cara?

Oh, uh, she, uh, had
an emergency with some sort

of Egyptian cotton and bamboo.

Oh.

What?

Um, Jackson, there's something
I need to tell you.

Oh, good, 'cause I've
gotta talk to you as well.

But, uh, ladies first.

Cara's seeing other people.

Other guys besides you.

What? Why would you think that?

She didn't have an emergency

with Egyptian cotton and bamboo.

She got invited
to another party.

She wouldn't do that.

I heard the whole thing.

So you eavesdropped
on her private conversation?

No, not intentionally, I...

Look, if you don't believe me,
just call her.

Okay, I will.

And you can listen.

What's up?

Hey, Cara.
Um...

I was just having
a conversation with Molly--

Jackson, I've told you,
like, eight times

that that girl
has feelings for you.

It's all over
her face and posts,

and you just need
to let her down gently

if you're not into it.

She's a sweet girl.

I know-- I'm coming, I'm coming.

Look, babe, I've gotta run.

Um. See you
at Leno's tomorrow, yeah?

No. We don't have plans
tomorrow, babe.

Cara?

You think I have feelings
for you?

Well, the thought
crossed my mind.

And what makes you think that?

You did try
to sabotage the dance date.

That was
the real-life Rico Suave.

Yeah, and then, at karaoke,
your gestures.

You were trying
to throw me off my game.

I was trying to move
the conversation along.

Well, it doesn't look like that,

looking back on it now.

You are so full of yourself.

I'm full of myself?

You're the one
that's so consumed

with trying to be perfect,

you've forgotten
who you are, Molly.

That bookshelf video
you posted?

It was real and charming.

But then you deleted it.

No, I didn't delete that.

Okay. You know, this whole
Single's Guidebook thing

was supposed to be about you
learning to stand on your own.

But instead, you acted happy
to sell products

and get likes from strangers.

You don't even like your job.

You pretend to
because you don't realize

you have another option.

And what's that?

Run away from anything real,
like you do?

You know...

you're actually
not letting anyone in, Molly.

And you are?

You're seeing a girl
who's seeing other people.

She's not seeing other people.

You didn't even ask.

Because that would
constitute as deep

and be too much for you.

Okay. I think we're done here.

More than.

Oh no.

Oh no, no, no, no, no.

Oh, crap.

Regina, hi!

Molly. I just found
the livestream, and...

Right. I just stopped it.

I'm deleting it now.

No, no, no, don't!

Wait, what?

I asked for drama,

and you gave me drama.

This series has turned
into our own little soap opera.

I was gonna pull the plug
on this tomorrow morning

because it wasn't working,

but this angle is so good,
the video stays up.

I don't know, I...

Molly.

This is the first time
your video has spiked

on the engagement ratings
this whole time.

The video stays up.

Oh! Jackson. Hey.

Hey. Uh...

Uh...

I'm so full of myself?

You're the one
that's so consumed

with trying to be perfect,

you've forgotten
who you are, Molly.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

You're putting that in
upside down.

Thank you.

What's going on?

Nothing.

This is not nothing.

This is Jessica Waters
beat you out

for the editor spot
junior year-level mad.

I hate how well you know me.

What's up?

Jackson and I got
into a fight last night.

I know. I saw the livestream.

What? It was really...
salacious.

Your engagement is
through the roof.

Uggh.

Why are you not
thrilled about that?

I don't know, I...

I think that was
crossing some line.

I feel weird
that it's still up.

Well, what do you care,

if if gets you
the full-time spot?

I just...
Jackson was right.

I have been fake,
really stinkin' fake,

trying to fit into this box
Regina wants me to, and...

Oh my gosh.

What?

You do have feelings for him!

What? No!
That's not even what I was...

Plus, why would it matter
if I did?

Well, I'm pretty sure
all of Agency's

half a million followers
would like to know

the answer to that question,
me included.

He's with Cara.

People have a love triangle.

No! Nope.

I am staying
out of their business.

Jackson's goal
was to meet someone,

which he did,

so his job here is done.

And you're just gonna
leave it at that?

Yeah! Yeah.

I don't need to mess with
other people's lives anymore.

I think I've done
enough of that.

I don't know how Regina's
gonna feel about that.

Yeah. Me neither.

Hey. I thought you
ended things with Molly

and the Single's Guidebook.

-I did.
-Not according to this.

You're the one
that's so consumed

with trying to be perfect,

you've forgotten
who you are, Molly.

Has Mark seen this?

I don't know.

But you'd better find
a way to take it down.

I'll be back.

Yeah.

Congratulations. Well deserved.

Mm, now if you'll excuse me.

What's that all about?

Congratulations!

Full-time offers went out.

The board opted to bring
both you and Sarah on.

Both of you showed
fantastic potential

on your assignments.

And they want
to feature your series

as a permanent fixture
on the site.

Welcome to the team,
Molly Hartwell!

I... I don't know what to say.

Uh... you could say you accept.

I don't know
if I can do that.

What?

Why not? We literally
created this position for you.

I don't think Agency's
the right fit for me.

I don't want to work for
a company that makes me feel

like I have to change
who I am to fit in.

What? Okay,
where is this coming from?

I should've deleted
that livestream

as soon as I realized
it had been posted.

And I should've
stood up for myself

when you deleted
that bookshelf video.

Creating content
shouldn't be about

selling products
or getting likes.

It should be about
connecting with people.

Creating meaningful
interactions.

And that's not
what happens here.

So... I quit.

What?

Thank you for everything,
Regina.

Working here has been
an invaluable experience.

Wow, uh...
you're still under contract,

so you need to do
your last post for the series.

Okay.

I will do my one last post,

and then I'm done.

Mark!

Jackson. I'm glad I caught you.

Listen. What I saw last night
was fantastic.

You guys have
a great organization

with a fantastic message.

Oh, thank you, sir.

We've put years of effort
into it.

With that being said,

my partners have opted
to go in a different direction.

The team is a bit put off

by what we've seen
on social media recently.

Think it's a bit too much
bad PR.

We don't want to bring on
a brand that needs

a bit of cleanup at this time.

Right, okay, about that. See--

I'm sorry, Jackson.

The decision's been made.

It was a pleasure meeting you.

Jackson!

Why would you do that?

Oh, I can explain--

Really?

Because it looks like
you put our private conversation

on your company's account,
and for what?

Sympathy?
Engagement?

Jackson, listen--

This isn't a joke to me, Molly.

This is my real life,

and it just cost us
the investor.

He pulled out
because of your little stunt.

It wasn't a stunt.

I was just doing what
Regina was asking me to do

to get the full-time spot,
and--

Well, I hope it was worth it.

Jackson. Jackson, wait.

Take a hint, Molly.

I don't have anything else
to say to you right now.

I messed it up.

I messed absolutely
everything up.

You did cause
quite a doozy for yourself.

Anything that can be done
can be undone.

And I would start
by taking that post down.

I'm not authorized to do that.

Says who?

You don't work for them
anymore.

I do have one more post
I need to make for them.

So do it right.

Put out a post with content

that you know that your readers
and Jackson deserve.

That's terrifying.

More terrifying than losing
what you and Jackson have?

The recent change
I've seen in you

has been something special.

Jackson challenges you

and he pushes you
out of your comfort zone,

helps you grow in ways
I have never seen before.

That's worth holding on to.

What's this?

Little something
I thought you'd like.

Thanks, Gran.

Remember.

Life always works out
exactly the way it should.

Mr. Larson?

Your next appointment's here.

Send them in.

Ah! Please have a seat,
Miss...

You can just call me Molly.

Do you have a minute to talk
about Jackson Merrington

and the Arts Ed 4 Youth
program?

Hey.

Anything for me?

Not today.

"Quiet your mind,
listen to your heart.

Grandma."

Uh, thank you,
and if you change your mind,

please let us know.

Okay, that's a no-go
on the Gregsons.

Who's up on our
potential investor list next?

Jackson.

I'm a little busy here, Dave,
trying to save our foundation.

Well, you might wanna
put pause on that.

Why?

Larson's on his way here to
discuss a possible partnership.

What? How?

I don't know.

But he could literally
be here any minute.

Gentlemen.

How good to see you both.

Hi!

Uh, please,
take a seat.

Thank you, sir.
I really appreciate this.

Hoo boy. What are you gonna do?

I mean, I don't know.

Agency's been my life
for the past three years.

Without it, I--

I mean, about Jackson?

Oh, that.

He's one of the best people
I've ever met.

I felt more myself with him
than I have in a long time.

He challenged me,

he wouldn't let me give up,
even when I wanted to,

which I needed,

and he achieved his goal.

He met someone,

and I'm happy
he's exploring that.

You're happy.

Thrilled.

Okay.

Any thoughts on
your last Agency post yet?

You're supposed to go live
by tonight, right?

I have a few.

Can I have a hint?

The hint is...

Shh!

-Sorry.
-Sorry.

And after Miss Hartwell
explained everything to me,

I realized we made an error.

I-- I'm sorry, what?

We want to work
with the foundation.

Right, I got that part.

Uh, but you said Molly?

Oh. She came by my office,

shared the situation,

how you and she were creating
this Single's Guidebook thing,

but it was
the Agency's orchestrating,

and that she was
taking the post down.

She presented a really great
social media strategy for us

moving forward,

ways to capitalize
on this partnership

you had with the Agency,

with integrity.

She also suggested
a whole plan

with other potential partners

and avenues for growth
for Arts Ed 4 Youth's

online potential.

She made quite
a compelling pitch

for why we should partner
with you.

And, uh, we think she's right.

Listen, I got another meeting,

but I'll have my office
send over the paperwork.

We're very excited
to work with you both.

Hey, guys.

I'm sitting here
in Forsythe Park.

It's stunning, take a look.

Anyway, I just wanted
to hop on here and say

a quick thank-you before
we officially end the series.

You might have noticed some
of the posts were taken down.

That's because I feel
like we strayed a little far

from the original aim.

Starting this series
was low-key terrifying.

I was a newly single workaholic

who never gave herself
a moment of downtime.

I realized that this was so

I wouldn't have to take
a real look at my life

at who I was
and what I wanted.

When I started this series,

I wasn't looking for love
in any way.

But I learned that
love comes in many forms.

Love for your friends,

love for new skills,

love for yourself,

for your struggles
and your journey.

Okay, that sounded cheesy,
but stay with me.

I learned that
what I was looking for

was my own kind of love.

Oh, and Jackson, he found
what he was looking for too.

So, consider this the end
of the Single's Guidebook,

sponsored by Gal Pal Box,

but I will be unofficially
continuing the series

under a new handle,
Life with Molly,

where you can keep
watching me try things like

take a cooking class
or build bookshelves

and whatever else
you want to see.

Anyway, thank you for
being on this journey with me.

Working with Jackson was
a once-in-a-lifetime thing.

Hello?

Is this Molly Hartwell?

This is she.

Hi, my name is
Veronica Greenburg,

with Greenburg Publishing.

Is this a good time?

Uh, sure.

Great. So we've been
following your work

on the Single's Guidebook
series,

and we love
your voice and authenticity.

If you're open to it,

we'd love to chat with you
about a book deal to expand

on your series. We've already
run it by the Agency

and they signed off
on you doing it.

Wait. Are you serious?

Very much so.

Now-or-never moment, dude.

You got this.

Honey, I am so proud of you.

Thank you, Grandma.

But what about Jack?

What does he think?

Oh, um, I don't know.

We're still not talking.

That's because
we haven't had time.

What are you doing here?

Mark Larson came to see us.

Turns out he's gonna invest.

That's great.

Yeah, you must have made
quite the impression on him,

so I wanted to say thank you.

It's the least I could do.

Jackson, I'm so sorry.

I never should have
left that livestream up.

I was in my head
about the full-time spot

and I got tunnel vision
and lost sight of

why we were doing the series
in the first place.

Why is that?

Well, so I could learn
to enjoy my singledom

and you could meet someone.

Which I did and you did.

Yeah, about that, uh...

Cara and I decided
to end things.

Oh. Sorry.

No, it's okay, because...

I met someone else.

You did?

Yeah. Someone that
I really, really like.

And it's real.

Like, real real.

Like something
I never experienced before,

and that scares me.

Well, maybe she feels
the same way.

-Yeah. I hope so.
-Wonderful, see you then.

Wait. Are you talking about me?

'Cause I'm definitely
talking about you.

Of course I am.

Okay, good.
