-Hey. -'Morning, roomie.'

You hear your boy on the radio?

No idea who you're talking about.

Oh, yeah?

-Thank you. -Mm-hmm.

Yeah.

Great.

[instrumental music]

Matty, you ready? We can't be late.

Don't worry, I'll be there.

-Morning, Miss Rusch. -Preston? Hi.

I wasn't expecting you for another 15 minutes.

And yet I was never here in the first place.

-Right? -Right.

So, what do you have for me?

Tamra Jacobs?

In her most devastating state so far.

It was last night, Elements Club, Hollywood.

Make it look like paparazzi somehow.

Slipped into the VIP area.

But Tamra is your client.

Do this for me and I have grounds to drop her.

You don't think she's been through enough, I mean

the eating disorder, the rehab, her mom.

-But, hey, if you don't want-- -Oh, no, no.

You're right. Maybe this will be good for her.

-I just need the.. -Indemnification.

Signed by me, approved by my attorney.

But listen, my name, my firm's name

stays out of her story.

And there's a nice little check in it for you too.

Uh, I wasn't expecting anything--

Miss Rusch, we all have an agenda.

Remember that. You'll be running this place in no time.

[sighs]

Matty, you're late.

Did you get him?

Luckily for you, I'm always early.

Ever tell my roomie I love him?

Not enough.

[Caleb] 'Wait, this isn't even about Carson.'

-Oh. -Pretty good, right?

Yeah. pretty good.

You gonna talk to Rich about running this?

I'm gonna talk to Rich about running this today.

Just gotta check in the chair first.

Well, photos inbound in five to ten.

'We're gonna make that headline, Matty, I can feel it.'

You say that every time.

Well, this time, it's finally true.

If you're doing that thing, well, you're mad, and, uh

you won't tell me why.

You were just live on the air.

And you had about as much charisma as my ex-husband had

the day that he begged me not to leave.

Wow! This is a good pep talk. Yeah.

Why are you committing career suicide?

Freddy's right. Ever since Veronica.

Freddy is a tool, Viv.

No! Freddy is a multi-Grammy award-winning producer

who's worked with every platinum-selling artist

under the age of 30.

Or do you not want another platinum-selling album?

This isn't even one of my songs, alright?

I only agreed to do this to help out Carson.

Caleb, you couldn't even write

one original song for your new album.

But because of Carson, we have an EP.

The first step to your big comeback

but the fans need to believe that you're both in it.

So if not for yourself, do it for her.

Wait, this isn't even about Carson.

And it's not about you.

Caleb, your voice is a product.

Your face is an album cover, and your name is a business.

At least fake like you care.

Okay?

-I got your email. -Yeah?

No! Business Affairs will never sign off on it.

They'd say it's too much of a liability.

They, they already did.

Preston's agreement is specific to anonymity

in an article we run on Tamra.

My article won't even mention her.

I've already got four testimonials

all starlets that he's been inappropriate with

during their contracts.

He's not a legitimate agent. He's a leech.

Well, I didn't hire you to be a crusader.

I hired you because you were a solid writer

'and you're good at getting people to open up'

to people who sell headlines.

This guy, he, he's an agent.

No one cares what he does.

Well, they might when they find out

the names of the starlets who are going to come forward.

Oh.

Now, isn't that headline material?

Oh, it is. It's good, you know.

Write it up, it'll make a strong sideline.

You know this is bigger than that.

It's not bigger than the whale Smith brought in.

Did you see that video? Now, that's a headline.

This is unbelievable. I stuck my neck out for this.

And it's good reporting. Take the win.

'And if you want a headline'

you're gonna need to bring me something huge.

Alright, you want a whale? I'll get you a whale.

That's the spirit.

Hey.

[chuckles]

Grab a harpoon gun

on your way out the door.

Ah! Let me guess who these are from.

Well, it wouldn't be Valentine's

if your parents didn't send you roses.

[chuckles] Yeah.

And a week early.

They must have seen the article.

Sorry about the headline.

At least your parents didn't know the difference, right?

Yeah.

'I'll get it next time.'

Yeah.

'Do you think I should change my alias?'

Is Natalie Rushing too obvious?

I mean, my parents figured it out.

No, no, no, you need to have your name in there somewhere.

Otherwise, how will you get any of the glory?

Oh, wow! What is that?

You know, I don't have a name for it yet

but I'm toying with "The love-love."

Oh! Unh-unh. Nope. Can't go with that.

Sorry. It was supposed to be a congratulatory dinner.

To next time.

May nothing stand in your way.

In music news, two-time Grammy-winner, Caleb Greene

'announced a release of his upcoming album'

'"Heartbreaker" on KROJ LA earlier today.'

'Greene, who's famous for his blend'

of contemporary rock and pop, has been laying low

ever since the 30-year-old musician

'proposed to his ex-girlfriend'

'and a runway model Veronica Savini'

'at a show last year in Boston.'

Only to have Savini deny his proposal

in front of a thousand fans.

'All of this, amid rumors of his infidelity in courtship'

'had made it a very rough year on Caleb Greene.'

'Greene's album will see its release just two weeks'

'after a special release with his new work featuring'

singer-dancer Carson Peet, formerly of the Vegas Vixens

who has also confirmed to be

his opening act on his upcoming tour.

'Fans everywhere will get to see this EP'

'on Valentine's Day.'

But the real question is

"Are the rumors true?

And is there more than just music in the air for these two?"

First, their insanely catchy song

and now she's opening for his tour?

I'm gonna barf Love-love.

You can't stick a claim on Caleb Greene just because

the two of you played hide-and -go-seek when you were kids.

It was more than hide-and-seek.

And we had friendship bracelets.

That is basically marriage between kids.

Can you blame the guy?

I mean, Carson Peet is America's sexiest sweetheart.

Maybe now, but she wasn't always like that.

Oh, yeah, and how would you know that?

Because I went to school with her too.

Excuse me. Wait, you went to school

with Caleb Greene and Carson Peet?

It was a school for the arts in Orange County, okay?

You have no idea how many of my former classmates

are more successful than me.

We-were you and Carson friends?

No. Yes.

I don't, I don't know.

Sorry, this is too good.

[chuckles]

Well..

We were like best friends in middle school

and then it got weird in high school..

...because she was just always way too busy for me

with her dancing and her acting and her singing, and--

-And Caleb---No.

She didn't even go there when he did.

He moved after third grade

and she moved there during sixth.

Hold on. Wait. How do they even know each other?

I didn't even think they did

until I found out about their new EP.

And now you're jealous of Carson and him.

Yeah, but, like, she knew how much I liked him

all through middle school, and I bet you she's the one

that he cheated on Veronica Savini with

and now they're promoting some new EP

as if they were actually in love, like..

Give me a break.

-Matty, that's it. -What's it?

This isn't just a whale, this is Moby Dick.

Hi, mom.

Hi, do you, by chance

still talk to Carson Peet's parents?

Oh!

Okay, so what's the story in your head?

Deceit. Betrayal. Heartbreak.

A torrid love affair turns into a sordid marketing campaign.

[laughs] Okay, a little less romance novel

a little more facts, please.

The timeline between Caleb's rejected proposal

and his pairing with Carson is way too short.

What if Veronica said no

because Caleb really did cheat on her?

And what if that person

just so happened to be

the opening act of his latest tour?

It's a good story if it's true.

I believe that it is.

And someone needs to break it before the paps catch them

macking down in Mumbai

and...that person is me.

Okay, so-so, what if there was no affair

and what if the timing was all just some

crazy coincidence

and it is true love?

Then we have a Valentine's Day puff piece.

A nice sideline about true love conquering all.

But...if I'm right..

Oh, then it would make one heck of a headline.

My intuition is not off, Rich.

Fine, I-I think you have a story, and I trust you.

Just be careful with Greene, his reps don't play around.

And neither do I.

Allie Rusch.

Huh, I don't believe it!

Carson, hi! It's so good to see you.

Oh, you have to tell me everything. Come on.

I am so glad you texted me.

What has it been, ten years? Mai-Tai? You Tai?

Oh, uh, I'll just have a-a Pino Gris. It's good.

Oh, everything here is good. I come here all the time.

We'll take two seaweed salads and a tiger roll.

You like tiger rolls? Rah! They're great.

[speaking foreign language]

Wow! It feels like just yesterday you were writing

all those articles for the Harmony Arts Herald.

[chuckles] Usually, with you gracing the cover

as the star of the step dance show. Chorus line.

Look at you now, you are literally a rock star.

Thank you.

And what about you? How are you?

Oh, I'm, I'm good.

Uh, just working for a publication here in Hollywood.

Oh! That's so exciting!

Is it everything?

Oh, yeah, it-it can be.

Just always looking for that next big story.

Also, did I hear that you are opening for Caleb Greene?

That's huge!

Well, it's kind of like, um..

Everything?

Exactly.

Oh, you still get me after all these years.

[chuckles]

Oh.

Yay!

Dig in.

[speaking foreign language]

Thanks.

Yeah, uh, you know, it's so funny

remember how I was telling you that, uh..

Caleb also went to Harmony Arts?

Oh, that's right. I forgot.

And you had that major crush on him.

And do you still?

Ugh, no. That was just a, a silly childhood crush.

But you and him must be getting

pretty close these days, huh?

Oh, come on, I can keep a secret.

I get it, it's Caleb Greene.

I mean, every girl had a crush on him back in school.

I know, but...no.

My manager just wanted me to team up with a name

so that I can go out on my own.

Oh. That's nice.

Ooh, you know what?

We're shooting a music video tomorrow.

You should come by and hang out on set.

It will give you and Caleb a chance

to catch up like old friends.

Um, yeah, I would love to.

Good, it's a date.

-Whoa! Sweet! -Okay, be cool.

'We're not here to cause a scene.'

'We're here to get intel.'

So just no more words like "Sweet," okay?

Whatever.

That's perfect. I'm gonna wear this.

-Oh, you're not gonna wear it. -No, I'm gonna wear it.

Alright, look, this isn't your video shoot.

'It's not a big deal, I don't need'

'to be shirtless all the time.'

'I'm just gonna wear a tank.'

'Alright, got it. Great. Here it is, let's go.'

Ahh! So good you came.

Is that your boyfriend?

-Oh, no, no. -Oh.

Keeley, Kendra, this is my friend Allie, and..

-Hi. -Hi, uh, this, uh, Matty.

And Matty.

Allie and I went to high school together.

She's a reporter.

[laughing]

Keeley and Kendra are doing backup for the video.

I trained with them before I started The Vixens.

Can I get a quick photo of you two?

Yeah.

[Matty] 'Uh, Carson, you wanna jump in there?'

-Oh, duh, get in here. -Okay.

Okay, on the count of one, two..

-Trifecta! -Trifecta!

Love it.

Carson, hi.

Who are your friends here?

Oh, this is my manager, Vivian Cartwright.

And our producer, Freddy.

Viv, this is my friend, Allie.

[Vivian] Oh, sweet.

Okay, are we ready to get started? Your hair needs help.

Oh, really? The director said that he liked it.

Can we have hair here? Stat?

Where is the director?

Uh, just find some place to hang out.

-We have snacks over there. -Great. Don't worry about us.

Matty, find Caleb and get photos

of all his interactions with her.

She's super nice. She's not shallow or self-indulgent--

Yeah, she was in school, okay?

Now, will you please go get some photos?

[sighs]

[sighs] Oh, man.

Oh.

-Oh, sorry. -Oh, no, go ahead.

We, uh, got more.

Um, you don't look like you should be replenishing

the licorice, don't they have someone for that?

You don't exactly look like a dancer.

Disappointed?

No, they all kinda look the same anyways.

I'm Caleb, by the way.

Oh, I know who you are.

I'm Allie.

Allie Rusch.

I'm a friend of Carson's.

Oh, really?

It's weird I haven't met ya.

No?

I thought we had.

My mistake.

So, how long have you and Carson known each other?

Oh, Carson and I, we go way back.

But, uh, not as far back as you two apparently.

Oh, yeah, we're, you know, me and you.

-Huh? -What?

Oh, nothing, I was just saying, um, you know

the two of you making music together..

Yep.

So, uh, what exactly do you do?

Oh, I'm a dancer.

[chuckles]

I'm, I'm a journalist.

Where do you work?

Oh, um, uh, "The Valley Voice."

Hm.

What is that, that "Hm?"

Nothin'.

I mean, it's just...interesting

that, uh, all of a sudden Carson's journalist friend

comes out of the woodworks and just starts chattin' me up.

Well, that is a little arrogant and a lot accusatory.

Hey, I'm just, uh, speaking from experience, alright.

No offense.

Oh, lucky for you, I don't get...offended

very easily.

Though if I am speaking from experience

based on the interaction with the costumer up there earlier

I'd say your arrogance speaks for itself.

Also, I don't usually waste my time

with people who aren't trending.

Ouch!

It's cute though that you thought I was here for you.

[male #1] 'Alright, everyone in their places for a picture.'

[clears throat]

Uh, aren't you in this?

Uh, no, I don't enter until half way through.

But you know what?

You would make a great director.

Yeah, yeah, definitely, you know that.

Nice and, uh, bossy.

Oh, it was nice to meet you.

Oh, congrats on your new album by the way.

-Watch out for the.. -Oh!

It was nice to meet you too.

Okay, picture's up, let's roll sound.

'Roll camera.'

'And...action.'

-'Cut.' -'Awesome!'

-How was it? Good? -Amazing.

Excellent! Excellent! You guys, perfect.

-Thanks. -'Perfect, perfect, perfect.'

You girls were great, thank you.

Stop.

Hey, did you see what I'm seeing?

Caleb and Carson, the way they were interacting.

I think I was wrong. I don't think they're really together.

Wait, so, so Carson's single?

Wait.. And Caleb?

Well, this is perfect for us, right?

Uh, wait, no, no, it's not.

If they're not really a thing

then there is no story.

Are you so sure about that?

-Hi. -Hey.

Can you excuse us for a second?

-Okay. -No, um..

Allie Rusch. AKA, Natalie Rushing.

425 Aspendale Drive

Bachelor in Communications

former copy editor for "The Herald"

current ladder climber for "The Spread."

Went to school with both my clients during your youth.

So, what's the real scoop, Miss Rusch?

Oh, scoop?

No, no scoop.

No, uh, Caleb just assumed I was here because of him.

And I was just saying there is no story

so there's nothing.

Don't lie to me, Miss Rusch. Let me guess.

You wanna crack the rumors about Carson and Caleb's

romantic relationship for your tabloid.

So what?

There is no harm in a nice love story for Valentine's Day.

Caleb and Carson?

-That is perfect. -Huh?

You know, I always knew that there was something there

between them, they just refuse to admit it.

But maybe you could get it out of them.

I mean, you have history there.

And it could make for a wonderful story.

Why do you care if I get a story?

It's almost Valentine's, Miss Rusch.

Do you have any idea what sells even better

than a good love song?

Love.

Two sexy stars announcing their love

on the release of their new EP.

Who wouldn't pay to hear that?

Just think about it.

Doesn't look like Carson has probably dated anyone

since they met in Vegas last year either.

Maybe Vivian was right, maybe they do have something

and just don't realize it yet.

Look how cute she is in this photo.

Wow, great evidence, Matty. Thank you.

What? Well, you said so yourself there was nothing

conspicuous to photograph.

Okay, well, maybe we're looking

for something too obvious.

Maybe we need to dig deeper.

What do you have in mind?

Maybe if we caught them interacting outside of work

they'd behave differently toward each other.

I mean, she did mention that she had dinner plans tonight

but she didn't say with who.

Why would she mention that to you?

Uh, I may have asked her on a date.

Matty..

I told you she's my favorite Vegas Vixen.

Will you please focus?

-Did she say where? -Not exactly.

I mean, yeah, I mean, she kept going on

about Mai-Tai's

and, and tiger rolls.

Come on.

-Wait, wait, okay. -Come on.

Hold on.

[speaking foreign language]

Okay, you have to try this.

Yellow Tail is my favorite. Get in here.

You love Yellow Tail too?

Just pull it together, you've known her for, like, four hours.

Alright, now, get me some good shots, okay?

I'm gonna get out of here before they see me.

You got it.

[Carson] Mm-hmm. Right.

So, can I get you something to eat?

Would you like to try our crunchy caterpillar roll?

-It's very good. -Yeah, yeah. Whatever.

Can you just mind just moving..

There's this girl, she just, wait, just wait.

Yeah, thank you very.. Ah!

Oh, it's a.. I lost my wasabi.

I found it. I found it.

Okay.

[retching]

-Allie? -Caleb!

[chuckles] Hey, how's it goin'?

Um, what are you, what are you doing here?

I could ask you the same question.

Oh, we were just finishing up dinner.

-We? -Oh.

Uh, Matty, my colleague, he's just paying out.

-Who are you here with? -Actually, uh, Carson.

We are doing this charity thing together

uh, Red Hearts Society.

-Oh, how nice. -Alright, I gotta leave early.

I got this, uh..

super early morning weight-lifting session.

-Yay. -Ah, well.

Gotta keep those guns loaded.

[chuckling]

You know, I think that I've figured out

how I remember you.

We used to be, like, uh, neighbors

when we were kids, right?

Carson said you're from Harmony.

Uh-huh.

-Was that you? -Oh, come on.

Shady Lane, Harmony Pre-K.

We used to play hide-and-seek

in that old, abandoned sugar mill.

Oh, wow, I can't believe

you remember that.

Well, I mean, I only remember because the last time

we played, I, uh, well, I destroyed you.

I'm pretty sure you never actually caught me once.

Uh, I sure did, yeah.

In fact, I remember, because when I did

you gave me that, uh, what was it, like, uh

like, pink and-and black

friendship bracelet or something?

And you told me to keep yours

so that I never forgot you.

Well, for the record, you told me to keep mine

so that I would always remember you.

Oh! Well, did you?

Oh. No, I have no idea where that thing is.

[chuckles] Me neither.

You know, that was right around the time that my parents

got me an agent and I moved up here.

-Yeah? -And you still look the same.

-I do? -Yeah.

You know, half, uh, confident

half haphazard.

Eh, it suits you.

Well, it was only because you always insisted

on being "It" first.

It made me nervous.

Hey, you know, Carson and I were throwing

this little V-Day thing in my house

this weekend, you should come.

Eh, unless you have, like, a romantic retreat

with your boyfriend planned.

Oh, no, I-I don't have, uh, uh, one of those.

But you and Carson, huh?

Sweet, you guys are like a really cute couple.

[chuckles] No, Carson and I, we're not together.

In fact, it's an anti-Valentine's party

so, um, singles only.

Ah. Well, romance is..

...you know, kind of what you make it, right?

And I would rethink dissing commercializing love.

You have made an entire career off of it.

Touche, Reporter Rusch.

You're good. No, no, you're really good.

Only, I don't think you know me as well as you think you do.

Apparently, I've only known you my whole life.

And yet people still see what they wanna see.

Like, when a badgering costumer

insists that I go shirtless

when, honestly, I, uh, just don't want

to have to exploit myself for once.

Touche. Sorry.

No, it's-it's okay. Honestly, I'm used to it.

I think that's my ride. You need a lift?

Oh, uh, no.

I'm just waiting for Matty...though.

Thank you, though.

But, uh, hey, this-this weekend

I'll see you there, right?

I'll think about it.

[clears throat] And, um..

Oh, right. You're "it."

Now I know why Carson doesn't wanna admit

her feelings for him.

He's such a flirt.

She's probably worried he's gonna cheat on her too.

Yet, you don't much seem to mind.

I don't still have a thing for him, okay?

I'm in the middle of trying to procure our story.

Look, have you ever given any thought that maybe

they're just friends who work together..

...a lot like us?

Matty, they have to have something, though.

I mean, we saw them tonight.

She was feeding him a Yellow Tail.

[both laughing]

Fine. Maybe I am a little up in arms right now

but...it's just because all

of my worlds are currently colliding.

Maybe you need to drop the whole story thing

and see if Caleb has a thing for you too.

I don't know, it's just weird to think, like, me and Caleb?

[knock on door]

-Uh, can I come in? -Sure. Sit.

I actually came here to see Carson

but I just wanted to stop by and inform you.

Caleb and Carson don't really have feelings for each other.

So there's no story here.

Never was.

Fine. So create one.

-What? -Well, Carson trusts you.

And it's clear Caleb's taken a liking to you.

So, if you don't have feelings for him as you claim

then who better to play their perfect Valentine's cupid?

I'm a reporter, not a fabricator.

You work for "The Spread."

Fabricating is what you do.

You need a story, I need a platinum-selling EP.

You can't just manipulate people into falling in love.

It's unethical.

Yet, throwing people's private lives

under a bus for a headliner isn't?

All I ever wanted to do was share news

so that people could see the truth.

I thought I was doing the right thing

but maybe I just chose the wrong job.

Allie, I know what's going on here.

You don't really think that Caleb could ever

become serious about a girl like you, do you?

You don't know me.

Caleb hasn't written anything in ages.

If this EP isn't a hit, I drop him

and his career is over.

Carson is beautiful, she's talented

she's positive, she's the inspiration

that he needs right now

'not someone like you.'

How do you know what he needs?

Because you and I are the same.

Selfish career girls

so driven to succeed

that we fare far better off alone.

You'll only end up hurting him in the end

and you know it.

You can't just dictate their future.

And yet, that is exactly what they've hired me to do.

Now, you do the right thing too.

For Caleb.

[sobbing]

♪ Oh-ho ay yeah-yeah

Bring the kick down for me a little bit on this one.

Okay. Come on in.

Freddy, you remember Allie from the set?

-What's up? -Hey.

Just finishing some harmonies with Caleb

and then we'll get you in there.

Perfect.

Afternoon, Reporter Rusch.

Did you two have a fun ladies night

after our sweet shimmy session?

Oh, no, we actually

didn't see each other after you left, so.

Ah-huh, he can't hear you in there.

What'd you guys just say? Uh, talkback's not on.

What's he talkin' about?

Oh, um, Matty and I were having sushi

'last night and ran into Caleb.'

-Really? I was there too! -Oh, you were?

-Wow. What a coincidence! -Oh, that makes sense now!

'Cause I thought I saw Matty and then

I thought I was just dreaming.

Uh, oh, you thought you were dreaming of Matty?

Well, yeah. He is kind of dreamy.

Ladies, can we continue?

-Oh! -Sorry. Sorry, Fred, that's it.

Alright, that was a good one.

Give me a, give me a third on top of that.

[instrumental music]

♪ Ah ohh

♪ Ye-a-ay

But don't you think Caleb's kinda dreamy too?

I mean, look at him.

Of course, but I mean.. He's Caleb.

But you guys haven't always just been friends, right?

You can't tell me it's never crossed your mind.

Allie, everybody loves Caleb.

I'll be putting my career in jeopardy

if something went sour.

Everyone would hate me.

It could be good for your career.

You guys do sound really great together.

[Carson] 'If you think we were meant to be'

don't you think it would have been by now?

Besides, if you think he's so great

why don't you date him?

He was asking about you last night.

-He was? -Hmm.

Shh.

Seriously..

Me and Caleb, just doesn't make sense.

♪ I'll always be at home

You and him, it's like everything.

♪ And make you feel home

-Okay, I'll be right back. -Okay.

♪ Oh you're never

♪ You're never alone

♪ You're never alone

Hey, what's she doing here?

She's my friend.

You haven't seen her in a while.

You sure she can be trusted?

Of course she can.

You just have trust issues with everyone.

Look, I'm just saying you gotta be

a little more cautious in the limelight, okay?

I think you're just paranoid 'cause she's not fawning

all over you like every other girl.

Maybe you like it.

I just think that she is smarter..

...and hotter than she realizes.

And that makes a dangerous woman, alright.

But, no, I'm not into her.

Just intrigued, there's a difference.

[Freddy] Ahem!

-I'm so.. -Great.

Look, I'm just protecting you from you.

Okay? That's all.

♪ You then held me

♪ And showed me everything I could be ♪

I was, uh, yeah

talking about my ex.

Oh. Mm-hmm.

Are we done with social hour, kids?

[chuckling]

♪ And I'll take my chance as you never know ♪

[Allie] 'So, what was going on in the sound booth?'

[Carson] Oh, nothing. It's just strange.

I feel like Caleb was flirting with me earlier

which is odd, because I really thought he was into you.

Or maybe he was just being nice to me

to secretly get a scoop on you.

I mean, it's just weird 'cause he's never

shown an interest before.

Well, you said your were both being professionals

and maybe now that you know each other better, it's different.

Yeah, we have been spending a lot more time

together recently, so..

Um, who wouldn't be into you?

You're like the perfect girl.

Aw! Well, I was a Vegas Vixen, so..

You see, exactly.

[both laughing]

[indistinct chatter]

Absolutely. You're right.

[gasps] Hey, guys.

-Hi! -Happy Valentine's.

Don't you mean anti-Valentine's?

Oh, don't buy into Caleb's silly theme.

Love is in the air. Can't you just smell it?

[sniffing]

Huh! Oh, no! The sugar cookies!

Um, guys, this is Denise.

Denise, these are my friends.

Oh, hi, Matty.

-Hello, I'm Denise. -Hi, Allie Rusch.

This is my colleague, Matty Sellers.

-Oh, hey, nice to meet you. -Hello.

Carson tells me you're a journalist.

Yes, something like that. Oh, what do you do?

Oh, I am a charitable events coordinator

for this year's Red Hearts charity event.

Ah. Caleb and Carson were telling me

about that. That's so great what you do.

Well, if you're ever interested in hearing more about it

we're always looking for a good journalist

to plug these things.

Oh, well, yeah.

-I'd love to hear more. -Really?

-Yeah. -That would be great.

You see, most journalists only seem to be interested

in who celebs are dating and what they're wearing.

[both chuckle]

It's garbage, it is garbage.

Oh, shall we?

-We'll grab our bags and.. -Okay.

Meet you in there.

Wow! This place is beautiful.

Oh, just wait until you see the guitar room.

Did you know Caleb offered to donate

one of his guitars to the cause?

Really? Wow, that's so nice.

[Caleb clears throat]

And, uh, what about me

that's so nice again?

I-I was just telling them about how generous

it was of you to offer up one of your guitars

'to the Red Hearts raffle.'

Yeah, I got too many anyways.

Oh, and, uh, welcome to my home.

Thanks.

Oh, Caleb, this my friend, Matty.

Ah, yes, Mr. MIA from the sushi joint.

That's a, that's a firm handshake.

[chuckles] Oh, this is Todd.

The man who kills me every morning

in the gym at 6:00.

-Yeah. -How's it going?

Hmm, that's a even firmer handshake.

So, Allie here says she might be interested in writing

an article about the Red Hearts charity event.

-Very cool. -Oh, yeah?

Yeah, yeah, I mean it's the least

I can do, you know, for a good cause.

I'm fresh out of fluids to donate for the raffles, so..

Ahh.

Who wants a cupid cookie?

-I'd love one of those cookies. -Oh.

[giggling]

[chatter]

So, I showed up early to help Caleb out

and you know what he did?

He went to go workout with Todd.

Denise has been helping me this whole time.

So, why not just ask for his help?

Oh, I'm not gonna tell him what to do.

He should just offer, right?

Oh, if no one has ever expected him to put forth the effort

how will he learn?

-Oh, right, good point! -Thank you.

I'm so glad you're here to help me now.

Oh, don't worry. Cupid's got you now.

Are these red your color, Todd?

-'Yeah.' -Okay.

Hey, guys.

Okay, so, this is the stuff for tomorrow.

Allie and Matty, you guys are gonna set up the pinata

in the photo booth over there and over there.

And the other stuff is what Denise

brought for the swag bag.

So, Todd, you can help her out with that.

And, Caleb, you and I are gonna be in

the kitchen making hors d'oeuvres and cupid cookies.

What.. No, no. I'm a terrible cook, alright.

I doing all things anti-Valentine's Day.

Like..

...this.

Ah, I'm actually a pretty great cook

if you..

Oh. Okay.

So, Caleb, you help Allie

and, Matty, you're with me.

And then this is for you.

Perfect.

[scoffs]

Stupid cupid, huh?

Guess so.

-Let's go. -Ohh.

-Really? -Yes.

[both chuckling]

[Caleb] I think I did a pretty good job.

We did a pretty good job.

Alright, what's next?

Ooh.

- Pinata? -Oh.

-You got it? -Yeah, yeah, yeah.

-So I guess the idea is.. -To break the heart.

Oh, fitting. Heartbreaker.

Uh, yeah, the title of my new album. How original.

Oh, of course, as decided by one Mr. Freddy Craig.

Uh..

You trying to get close?

You're "it."

-Come on. -Uh..

Huh, why don't you go ahead and do that?

I don't wanna get too close to the Caleb Greene

who's got his bodyguard here, so.

Oh, come on, I hate it

when they assign me a bodyguard.

I mean, seriously, they always breathe heavy

and block my good lighting, it's just, ugh!

Kidding, alright? I love Kenny.

He does breathe real heavy though.

Oh!

Give me a hand.

Alright. Just hang it right here. Would you hold this?

Sure.

Oh!

It's good.

So are you excited to go on tour after the album drops?

Are you going any place you haven't been?

It's not nearly as fun as it sounds.

We're just never really anywhere for long enough

to enjoy, you know.

Oh.

So, why don't you take time

when you're not touring to travel?

Honestly, in the little free time I have, I, uh..

just like being home.

Champagne problems, I know.

No, I get it.

Anyway, this house is amazing.

If I lived here, I wanna be here all the time, so..

Denise said there is a guitar room.

-Oh, yeah. -Hm.

Come on, I'll show you.

You play all these?

I mean, what good's a guitar if you don't.

[laughs]

You know, I remember on your first album

you used to play guitar a lot more.

Why don't you now?

-Someone's a fan. -Ow.

After your first hit, you were the talk of our town.

A bunch of the girls used to play "You're The One" on repeat.

So I heard it 50 times a day. I didn't have much choice.

Well, nonetheless, you just made me feel special

so, uh..

...thank you.

[laughs]

[laughter]

Thank you for this.

It was really holiday-inspired.

Oh, what can I say, love inspires me.

[Matty] Oh, "Love Inspires," that's, uh, that's your album.

Oh, are you a fan, Mr. Sellers?

Uh, uh, Allie, actually, she-she told me that.

Yeah, and I think Caleb actually told me, right?

Uh, no, I didn't.

I think you did. Didn't you?

No, it wasn't me. I didn't even know

the name of your album actually.

'Uh, to be honest, I don't know the name of our own EP'

but it's-it's cute.

-Cheers to you, Carson. -'Thanks.'

Cheers to a love-inspired meal

and a love-inspired album, huh.

[laughter]

[all] Cheers.

[laughter]

Okay, so who wants to watch "Heavenly Valentine"

in the screening room?

I made a red velvet pie too, what!

Oh, I'm sorry, I am beat, but I am gonna take advantage

of the garden top and get some work done before I go to bed.

Save me a slice though, would you?

[Todd] 'And I am going for a five-mile hike'

up the hill in the morning, so I need my sleep too.

Thanks again for dinner.

-Bye. -See you in the morning.

You know that I actually love a good--

Matty, we, actually, have to get up early now

to talk to Denise about all the charity stuff

so we should probably hit the sack.

-Yeah, uh, sorry. Sorry. -Come on, guys.

No one wants to watch with me?

Maybe Caleb would.

Actually, I can't stand sappy chick flicks to be honest.

Yeah, unless maybe you wanna watch something like, um..

Ooh, "My Deadly Valentine."

Allie actually loves that movie.

Oh, you have that Blu-ray in your room.

Oh, yeah, my nephew mailed it to me from Seattle.

He's a weird kid.

I don't really care what I watch.

I just want fun and pie.

You know what I think?

I think you two should stay and watch the movie

because you worked so hard over dinner which is delicious.

[sighs]

-Pretty good, huh? -Hmm.

Yeah, Carson is a gal of many talents.

Okay, seriously, what is up with you

trying to set me up with Carson?

I just think you two will make a really cute couple.

But if we dated, what would we watch?

[laughs]

I don't really like watching sappy movies either.

It's not that I don't like them

I just...they make me cry..

...feel emotional.

Ew. I mean, who would want all that?

[laughs]

Wow!

Alright, a confession.

That's why I can't watch them either.

"Notebook" did me in, both sleeves soaked.

[laughs]

Well, then, I have a confession.

I really like "My Deadly Valentine."

I knew it. I knew it.

I know.

Well, maybe you should invite me over to watch it sometime.

Pinata?

[laughs] You really like pie, huh?

Ha-ha. Well, my mother says

it will catch up to me in my 40s

but by then I'll be married with children, so..

Won't be a prob rockin' that dad bod, right?

Yeah.

[laughs]

Uh, I think I'd make a terrible mother.

What, no, no way.

Why would you say that?

Oh, my mom didn't teach me anything. She just..

would drop me off at music class or dance class and then

go off for a spa day, so.

Oh.

-Oh, thanks. -Yeah.

I get cold easy.

[Caleb] 'And, uh, watch your step you don't exactly'

have a good track record with falls.

I'd hate to have to jump in and save you.

Uh, I can stay afloat just fine.

Is that so?

Why do you say that?

I mean, come on, with fair skin, you know

I'd bet that was the first time

you've actually been sunny side up in ages.

I go jogging every morning.

I just wear a very strong sunblock

to keep me from getting burned.

You do have a way of

keeping from getting burned, don't you?

You're one to talk, Mr. Mistrust.

Alright. Well, then you know what?

Let's make this a trust game, hmm.

One arrow hit

for each question.

-Really? -Oh, yeah.

I will open my heart to you

if you open your heart to me.

Fine.

What do you wanna know?

First time you fell in love. Besides me, of course.

[laughs] Alright.

Sophomore year of college.

Brian Banks.

I think he's a newscaster in Philly now.

Wife and two kids.

First time you fell in love?

I mean, besides my, ahem

horrible hide-and-seek partner.

I am a world champion.

Mrs. Fenton. She was, uh, my first music coach.

I was 11, and she was

[whistles] an LA goddess.

It broke my heart to pieces

when I asked her to leave her husband, and she just left.

She said I'd be a heartbreaker one day.

Hm, well, at least she got that right.

Last time you got your heart broken?

[exhales deeply]

His name was Shep.

He wasn't even my boyfriend.

Actually, we were just perpetually dating

and..

He only saw me when he felt like it.

So after six months

I told him I was done.

Wait, so he didn't dump you?

No.

But...he did break my heart.

Wow, it's, um, kind of depressing.

Well, I already know the last time

you got your heart broken, so.

What do you mean?

Boston concert, booing fans.

The one thing I don't know is

did you cheat or didn't you?

I mean, the tabloid said you did, so, did you?

-'Huh!' -Oh, um..

-Oh, no. Oh, no. -Just, just pick 'em up, okay.

We'll-we'll repack it.

[laughing] Oh, no, they're getting..

It's alright.

No, I didn't cheat.

You know, she, um..

She came from this pretty rich family, but she still had

a kind spirit, you know.

She, she kept 20s in this, uh, pocket of her purse

just to hand out to homeless people on the streets.

But why didn't she believe you

when you said you didn't cheat on her?

If she loved you

she should trust what you say.

Yeah, well, she knew I had cheated before

when I was young and dumb and..

And she thought I did it to her, she was just so hurt.

And she had already cheated on me before in the past.

When I proposed to her, she was already with her publicist.

They're engaged now.

You so have me beat.

Yeah, you know what, I always kind of felt like it was karma

just biting me back

for all my years of bad behavior before.

Alright.

-'One more?' -Yeah.

Alright.

If I trust you..

...will you trust me?

[laughing]

-Oh, no. -She's gonna be so pissed.

My pinata, what did you do?

-Wow, uh.. -Oh!

Come on, come on. Hide, hide.

[Denise] 'And that's the beauty about what this foundation'

'tries to achieve.'

'They seek to abolish divisiveness'

'for all humanity.'

No intolerance is acceptable.

No injustice can be overlooked.

The spirit is that we should learn to hold everyone

in our hearts because inside we all have the same heart.

-No matter who you are. -One heart.

-Exactly. -Oh, I like that.

And thank you for allowing me to share it with you.

No, it's, it's my pleasure.

This is the kind of stuff I've always wanted

to write about, so I should thank you.

[piano music]

-Something smells good. -I made breakfast.

-Hey, good morning. -Have you eaten yet?

Uh, no, I was waiting for you.

Uh, do you think we could go somewhere and talk alone?

Just in private?

Yeah. Yeah, sure.

[Vivian] Oh, breakfast.

How lovely.

Vivian, you're early. Come sit with us.

Thank you. I'm so hungry I could eat just about anything.

-Oh, didn't you---Oh, no!

Oh, no, no, no, don't do that, don't be rude.

I just got here, sit, have breakfast with me.

Let me get that.

Thanks.

Breakfast, sweet.

-I'm starving. -'Todd.'

All...sweaty and fresh.

[Carson] 'Denise, come down while it's still hot.'

So, what did I miss last night?

Well, Matty and I cooked in the kitchen last night

and Caleb and Allie did stuff out back.

Oh? What kind of stuff?

They set up the photo booth and the pinata

the ladder of which they busted while they were playing outside.

Hm, that's too bad, I would've really enjoyed

taking a crack out of that.

Oh, you'll get your chance.

We taped up that broken heart

and it's ready to go for round two.

Perfect. I can't wait.

[sighs]

You alright?

It's really bad.

I was just about to tell him

and then she showed up.

-Tell him what? -Tell him everything.

The lies, Vivian, the deceit.

How I really feel.

I can't keep playing cupid to him and Carson.

[sighs] It's killing me.

Allie, you remember when I first moved in?

I had just been dumped and kicked out.

Highly verbally abusive Kate

and her more verbally abusive Yorkie.

But do you remember when we were going through those moving boxes

and we found my yearbook?

And we went through it over a pizza?

And we were looking at pictures of me.

Overweight, braces, acne.

That's pretty much exactly how I felt in that moment.

That same ugly kid from school that nobody wanted.

-Matty.. -No, no, no, no.

But-but you..

You-you you shrugged, and-and you said..

"I just see Matty in those pics."

Confident, awkwardly cool Mr. Matty Sellers.

It's in his eyes.

It's that smile.

And in time, you-you'll see him again too.

Look, Caleb doesn't like Carson.

He likes you.

Confident, awkwardly cool Miss Allie Rusch.

And all that fame and stuff, none of that matters.

He asked me last night if he could trust me.

They're gonna hate us.

Uh, right, uh, so, uh..

Uh, so, maybe-maybe we-we-we shouldn't tell them.

We have to.

Right thing to do, huh?

[sighs]

♪ Break your heart

♪ Break your heart

[Carson] Okay, sit. Sit, sit, sit.

Gonna do you up.

Okay.

[Allie] You know, you're different than you used to be

in high school?

You just remind me of..

...how you were when we first met in middle school.

We used to ride our bikes to the salon

and beg the counter lady to give us makeovers.

-Yes. -Ha-ha.

Back before I became all self-obsessed?

Oh, no, I wasn't saying that.

Uh, and I was far from perfect.

But you are a good friend.

I think when I got to college

I realized I wasn't prom queen anymore.

I was just a girl.

Then when I began

auditioning after graduation..

I was just a former prom queen

in a room full of 'em.

[chuckles]

I mean, being born pretty builds confidence, sure.

But hitting rock bottom and then having to build yourself

back up again..

...builds character.

I'm sorry for how I treated you.

Don't.

I've just enjoyed having you back in my life.

Yeah, because I got you this really great dress, so..

Yes, obviously.

Oh!

Let's see it. Here we go. Ready? Alright.

I love it.

Alright, let's mix it up, guys.

[indistinct chatter]

-Okay, I wanna see that. -Right here, cool.

-'Let's see it.' -'You're so sweet.'

Adorable. Check it out.

-Like that? -Aww..

-Caleb? -Vivian, hey.

-You look gorgeous. -Insanely.

Is that an Italian import?

I've heard it feels like butter..

It's Parisian. And not to be touched.

Okay, girls, um, I'd like a moment with Caleb.

So, go eat some candy hearts or something.

I'd hate for a strong breeze to blow you away.

[gasps]

-That really happens? -I've always wanted to fly.

So, spread your wings, dear.

-Let's go. -Let's go.

-Are we having a good time? -Yeah.

Seems like it's all turned out pretty well.

Just been a...waitin' for..

Thank you. Carson did it.

Oh, come on, you're not seriously

still in that stupid cupid thing, are you?

-No. No. -Good.

But, um, we do need to talk

as soon as you can, it's important.

What, are you going to, um..

...ask me to be your Valentine?

Oh, there's Matty. Do I have anything in my teeth?

Uh, you're perfect.

-You both are. -Aw!

Well, let's not waste all this.

Let's go get our picture taken.

Come on. Matty, hey!

Love it, guys.

Hey, just give me a minute

and then we can go have that chat, okay?

What do you think you're doing?

That was not part of the plan.

Just let it go.

You can't force people into loving each other.

If it's real, it'll happen on its own.

And what do you think is happening?

Your stupid childhood crush is gonna become the real thing?

Vivian, it is real.

Carson and Matty too.

Matty and I may have gone into this with wrong intentions

but that doesn't make it any less real.

And what do you think is gonna happen when I tell Caleb

of your false intentions?

You're not gonna tell him. I am.

Those look stupid.

What's going on with them? It looks like they're fighting.

Uh, Carson, there's something we need to tell you guys

that you're...really not gonna like.

Oh, no, are you and Allie in love?

-No. -'Your attention..'

Attention everybody, welcome and happy

anti-Valentine's weekend.

[cheering]

With all the negativity happening today

you know, sometimes we have to remind ourselves

'that love still exists.'

So, don't get me wrong, this is very much

an anti-Valentine's party.

But I say "Why not?"

Let's celebrate love.

This is a, uh, a new one I'm working on.

Been feeling pretty inspired recently.

My best client for the past six years

Caleb Greene, everyone.

[applause]

[Vivian] 'Oh, it is so great to see'

so many recognizable faces here tonight.

The talented Freddy Craig is here.

[applause]

Yes, my hottest up-and-comer

Carson Peet is here, everyone.

And then...oh, yes, Allie Rusch

which, some of you know as Natalie Rushing

'the news reporter for "The Spread."'

Now, I know we don't normally mix with people

who exploit our lives for their personal gain

but I thought maybe tonight we'll make an exception.

What's, uh, what's going on?

I thought you worked for "The Valley Voice."

Caleb, I'm-I'm so sorry.

It-it started out as one thing

and I-I tried to talk to you earlier, but I-I..

So, why don't you tell him now?

How you thought Caleb Greene and Carson Peet

'were having a secret affair behind Veronica Savini's back'

'and how you planned to get your big break'

by making it a tabloid headline?

Please tell me she's lying.

Caleb, can we just go somewhere and talk please?

[Vivian] 'I gotta tell you, that girl's got drive.'

I mean, she is going places.

Now, in fact.

'Goodbye, Miss Rusch.'

'Collect your things and leave'

before I have you removed.

Caleb, please, can we just go somewhere?

[crying]

Anti-Valentine's. How apropos.

Denise? I am so sorry.

I seriously didn't mean for any of this to happen.

I had a good sense about people

and I still don't imagine I'm wrong.

But I'm the last person you need to be concerned about right now.

Carson's already loading up out front

but I think he's down in his guitar room

in case you wanted to say goodbye.

Thank you.

[sighing]

The truth is..

...I did remember you.

The bracelets.

That old sugar mill.

I remember how disappointed I was

when I heard that this guy

I was crazy about growing up

was hanging out with my ex-best friend

who neglected me in high school.

I just felt betrayed.

But now I know it was me who betrayed both of you.

Yeah, you did.

But even after you realized, you kept going.

I panicked.

I let Vivian convince me

that we could create a story that would be good for all of us

and I never thought anything would happen between us.

And so I just thought to make it up to you

I would set you guys up.

And get your story at the same time, convenient.

No!

At a certain point, it wasn't even about the story at all

but I kept going because I knew something here was right.

I wasn't wrong.

It was a story here all along.

It was ours.

I'm just so sorry

that I screwed it up.

Here, maybe you can sell this too.

[Allie sniffling]

[sighing]

Oh, thanks.

Thank you.

-It's okay. -It's okay.

-Drive safe, okay? -Okay. Love you.

-I'll talk to you tomorrow. -You'll be okay.

Carson.

'Look, just-just please listen to me. Please.'

What? What could you possibly say that'll make this alright?

Look, I-I know that I kept things from you.

I don't know why, maybe because of my fear

of what Allie was going through or fear of my own insecurities.

I just never thought somebody as perfect as you

would give me a chance.

Yeah, what a mistake that was.

Look, I let my fears control how I reacted, and I'm sorry.

And I know that...know that I don't deserve a second chance

but...I know now that I deserve you.

I mean, nobody, nobody else

would be as crazy about you as I am.

You broke my heart, Matty.

No boy has ever made me feel so small.

It's because Matty is giving to a fault.

And he was being loyal to me.

Just like you are.

What I did to Caleb was bad, but..

...it pales in comparison to what I did

'to the two of you.'

I took the only friends I have

and betrayed and divided them.

All I can say is that my heart is broken

and it will be for a very long time.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry, Matty.

What're you doing here? Go. Go with her.

You two deserve each other.

[sniffles]

You alright?

You?

Wow! That's incredible.

I ruined everything, Matty.

[exhales]

What am I supposed to do?

The right thing.

[doorbell rings]

[crows cawing]

Can I come in?

I dropped Vivian.

Caleb dropped her too, so I suppose

I should actually thank you for that.

Carson, that's not--

Are you still planning on writing

that article about me and Caleb?

What? No! No.

I think I knew the first day at Caleb's

that I could never really go through with that article.

Well, did you mean what you said the other day?

About being happy that I was back in your life.

[sighs] Of course I meant it.

Carson, you have a way of instilling

a sort of hope in people.

It's why people are so drawn to you.

I was just so insecure

I lost sight of that.

Our drifting apart, it's my fault too.

You were my best friend.

You were my best friend too.

And I don't want to lose you.

Not again.

Denise sent this to me today.

They ran my article?

[chuckles]

They didn't even tell me.

It's kind of everything, actually.

[chuckles]

I don't believe it.

Thank you.

Thank you!

This is the kinda thing a real friend does.

Friends?

Everything.

[chuckles]

Will you still come to the benefit today?

Everybody's gonna want to meet you after this.

Won't Caleb be there?

Just think about it, okay?

Okay.

Not bad, but, uh..

I don't get why you're showing this to me.

All this tells me is that you were off writing some

humanitarian piece for another rag

when you promised me a steamy story for Valentine's Day.

I'm sorry I couldn't get you your story.

Hmm, you mean, you're sorry you didn't get your headline.

I did get something out of it though.

Working here has made me realize that that article

is the kind of journalism I wanna pursue.

So, thank you for the opportunity.

My resignation letter is on my desk.

Hey, Rusch.

You know, uh, I wanted to be a real journalist

when I was your age too.

Ended up here.

But the world needs journalists with a voice

who won't give up on their quest for the truth.

That's how change is made.

So, if you ever need a letter of recommendation

you just let me know.

[chuckles]

-How did it go? -Great.

Jason Knights from "The Valley Voice"

called while you were in there.

Wants you to give him a call.

I have been waiting for this for four years.

He can wait few hours.

Uh, is there something else going on?

You have no job, now you got no friends.

Just get your stuff together and let's get out of here already.

Where exactly are we going?

The Red Hearts charity event.

It starts in an hour and..

...you're gonna need this

to look good for your girl.

Aw..

Allie, no, no, look.

She does not want to see me again.

Matty, we can't just give up. There's still a story here.

-I can feel it. -I quit! I quit.

[indistinct chatter]

-Hi, how are you? -Hey.

Help yourself, everyone.

You look great for this..

-Really love it. -Thank you.

[indistinct chatter]

Here you go.

♪ See you for who you are

♪ That beauty in my mind

Allie, Matty, hey, happy Valentine's Day.

Yeah, you too.

So, Denise is over at the events table.

And Caleb and Carson as well.

With all the fans.

♪ I don't know why

♪ I don't know why

If everyone would make their way over here please

we'll be having a very special performance for you momentarily.

-Excuse me, sorry. -It's alright, it's okay.

-Oh, you must be.. -Kenny, they're my friends.

-I'm just gonna go up.. -Yeah.

[chuckles]

Hey.

I'm sorry.

For what?

For what I did to you.

And what did you do?

Well...I, uh, I hurt you

when I, I should have been protecting you.

I failed. Bad.

And why should I forgive you?

Because I will never forgive myself if you don't.

Uh, 'cause, uh, we make delicious meals together.

[birds chirping]

'Cause, uh, it's Valentine's.

What's this?

It's a...blanket for when we get cold

watching "Heavenly Valentine."

If you hurt me again, Kenny will kill you.

[chuckles]

[Allie] Don't they have someone for that?

Well, Vivian was right about one thing.

Oh, yeah? What was that?

Love sells.

Yeah.

Sometimes it sells out.

I deserve that.

Why'd you come here?

I want you to yell at me.

Order me to leave, anything, but..

Once I'm gone, just..

-Please forgive me. -Why should I?

Because I just can't bear spending the rest of my life

knowing there's a person out there

who I love so much who hates me

for this one really stupid thing I did.

Well..

Maybe, possibly, perhaps I can forgive you, but..

-It'll take time. -I can live with that.

Thank you.

Hey. Carson showed me that article you wrote.

The piece was, it was really great.

And, hey, now you can finally say you're a reporter, so.

[chuckles] Thank you.

I hope it's not just lightning in a bottle though.

Or hoping to win Carson and me back.

If anything, it was to win myself back.

I didn't even know you guys were gonna read it.

I know, I was, I was just teasing.

I also know that you didn't just write that for you.

I'm pretty sure you wrote that because

you saw that it was for a good cause.

[chuckles] And it was just the right thing to do.

That doesn't change what you did, Allie.

I know that.

[sighing]

Having said all that..

I also know how when I told you

that I didn't cheat on Veronica

you told me that if she really loved me..

she would have believed what I said was true.

So..

What might I be missing out on if I didn't do the same for you?

So I'm gonna ask you one more time..

Can I trust you?

Good, you can trust me too.

Oh, and Happy Valentine's Day.

Oh, right.

-Happy Valentine's. -What's this?

Happy Valentine's Day.

You fixed it?

Uh-huh.

-No, you kept yours too? -Yeah.

Admittedly, I couldn't wear it for a while after you left

but you're kinda hard to forget.

No more hide-and-seek. Deal?

Deal.

And now I'd like to welcome to the stage

Caleb Greene and Carson Peet.

[crowd applauds]

-Oh, good. -Yeah?

-Yeah, good. -Let's go.

Hey, guys, how's everyone doin'?

[crowd cheering]

'Happy Valentine's Day.'

What's up, guys?

[crowd cheering]

Welcome to Red Hearts.

'That's why we're all here, right?'

'Cause we all share the same heart.

We all bleed red and if we all look out for each other

then no one is ever really alone.

'So this is one we like to call'

"You're Never Alone."

Hit it.
