- Are you ready to shoot this?
- I'm ready whenever you are.

Okay.

- You good?
- Yeah.

Okay.

I'm gonna count you in.

Okay.

Three...
two... one.

Hi, guys!

Dr. Kate Lawrence here, Ph. D.

Today, we are going to
talk about

the three red flags
of a first date.

So, if your date happens to be
at a coffeehouse,

he needs to pay.

It's not what you're thinking...

It's not about the money,
it's about manners.

Red flag number two...

if you have a common name

and you get upset when
the person at the coffeehouse

doesn't spell your name
correctly on the cup

because you decided
to spell it differently

than the rest of the world,
just no.

Red flag number three...

if he has a lot of special
requests in his coffee order,

like, let's say he orders a non-fat,
low-foam, extra-hot half-caf,

with four pumps of caramel?

That is a big "just no",

and you need to grab your coffee
and run for the hills,

because he's high-maintenance,
and that can only get worse.

So...

ladies...

just... no.

Hey, Joey, how's it going?

- You really love it here, don't you?
- Sure. It's where I grew up.

You're clearly
a local celebrity.

You sure you're gonna be okay moving
to Seattle after we get married?

Did you want to move here?

We've been over this.

In the medical equipment sales
game, it's all about access.

There are more doctors
on one block in Seattle

than in this whole town...

Babe, Babe...
Babe, I was just joking.

- Joking. Right.
- We talked about it.

I think that it's gonna be really
good for my career to move there.

Speaking of that,
I just saw your last video.

What did you think?

Basically?

I'm glad I didn't ask you out
for coffee on our first date.

What are you talking about?

You have zero red flags.

Zero, huh?

Zero. Well, there's
that one thing

about how you don't
think you like curry,

but that's just because you
haven't tasted the right curry yet.

We'll fix that.

There's no such
thing as good curry.

- Excuse me.
- No. Curry's awesome!

Pour vous.

Thank you.

I love them.

- Hey, Kate.
- Hi.

So your standing desk,
it's almost finished.

Wow, those take a long time,
to fix?

Custom takes time.
Be patient.

I am patient.

You're eating
a rock-hard, unripe pear.

I'm just pretending
like this is an apple.

Could you just call me
when the desk is ready?

You got it.

I'm, I'm Lucas, by the way.
Old high-school friend of Kate's.

Yeah, this is Bryan.
He's my fiance.

Fiance?

Congratulations.

Must've been quite
the whirlwind romance.

I see you at the farmer's market
every weekend,

but I've never seen him before.

Well, you're a lucky guy, Bryan.
Kate's...

Kate's a real catch.

- See you later.
- Bye!

Let me guess.
Ex-boyfriend?

Um, no. He's not my ex-boyfriend.
He's not my type.

You are my type.

In fact, if I could
build the perfect husband

from the ground up,
it would be you.

Hey, you know
what I was thinking?

We should
announce our engagement.

- Really?
- I mean, it happened so fast...

...we could just tell everybody
and it could be kind of sweet and...

Aren't you worried

that people will think
we're rushing into it?

I mean, look at what
that Lucas guy said.

Well, I don't think
anyone cares about that.

I just think that,
you know, I love you,

and I'm excited
to tell everyone.

Okay. You're not gonna do some
big flashy announcement, right?

What? Simple.

You have to think bigger, Kate.

Your website is
growing exponentially,

and now I have a book agent

and publisher interested
in a book deal for you.

A real book deal?
Really?

People love you, Kate.
They want more.

You are so blunt
and so honest. So pretty.

Announcing your engagement

is proof to your fans
that Dr. Kate walks the walk.

We should make a splash.

Let's throw a party.
We'll invite the locals.

It will be the quintessential
small-town wedding.

- Let's do it!
- Yes!

I told Bryan that
it wouldn't be a huge thing.

Except it is, Kate.

That is, if you want to be
a best-selling author...

- I think I do.
- Good girl!

Let's do this.

Let's do it.

Here's the cooking blog.

If your guy cooks...
which is great...

make sure you actually
see him cooking, because...

After that.

Hi!

Sorry to interrupt.

- I've got your desk.
- Great.

- Yeah? Bring it in?
- Yeah.

All right,
where would you like it?

Just put it wherever.

It's beautiful.

All right.

What're you guys up to?

We're just doing our video blog.

Oh, you have a blog? Cool.

Yeah, she has
a dating blog, and it's huge.

I'm not online that much.

Computers and sawdust,
it's kind of a bad combo,

...but I should probably read it.
I could use some dating advice.

- Really?
- Yeah. Why not?

That is so weird, 'cause I actually
have some dating advice for you.

Okay.

Let's just say
someone asks you out on a date,

and you bring
a bunch of friends,

and they all
start acting like...

- Idiots?
- Yes.

And one of them actually grabs
a fragile, antique figurine and breaks it,

and tries to hide it
underneath the couch...

Well, what if the idiot in question
was just a teenager?

What's going on here?
Who are you guys talking about?

- No one.
- Nothing.

Okay.

All right, well, I'll,
I'll send you your invoice.

Great.

- Okay, you want to go again?
- Yeah, let's go again.

Okay, let's do it.

Hey, guys!

- Hey!
- Hi.

Sorry I didn't call sooner.

I just got home from work.
We got this huge supply

for extra-large
blood pressure cuffs.

You know how long those take
to get in from the factory.

Yeah. Of course.

Hey, so, um...

Pam wants to throw us a little
engagement party this weekend, in town.

With Pam, nothing's little.

Well, do you want to not do it?

Is it gonna be on your blog?

'Cause I'd rather do
something private.

This really shouldn't be
about your blog.

I just want to show everybody
how happy we are,

and then people will, I don't know,
respect my relationship advice more.

I get it. I do.
I just... I'm not sure I want

to be in the public eye,
you know?

All right, well, if you want,
then we could just...

do the announcement and take
a few pictures, and have dinner.

And that's all it's gonna be?

Yeah. We could just do that.

Well, then...

Yeah. Yeah, sure.

- I should really take this.
- Okay. I love you.

Not so close.
I have another brilliant idea.

Since no one knows Bryan,

let's keep his identity a mystery
until the big announcement.

Why? Nobody cares who I am.
I'm just the guy marrying Dr. Kate.

They care because

you're the guy that proves
that her advice works.

Why is your office here?

That's a great question.

Because I'm a genius!
That's why.

Your viewers think
it's one of your usual videos...

blah, blah, blah, no big deal...

then, as soon
as you introduce Bryan,

we pull back to reveal
that you're actually

at your own fabulous
engagement party!

What do you think?

That's not what we discussed.

It isn't. It's a little bit
too much, Pam.

Go big or go home.

I called in a few favors,

and I might have told
a few of the vendors

that you would post a link
to their websites on your blog.

- He doesn't like this.
- Um, no.

It's okay.
I know you need some help, so...

- No. Are you sure?
- Yeah. It's all good.

Honey, you're so great.

I'm not perfect.
Right? You know that?

He's so perfect for me.

Okay, let's,
let's go check this thing out.

Hey, you guys!

- How are you?
- You look amazing.

You guys look great.

- Thank you.
- Where's... Where's Bryan?

He's not here?

Hi.

I just got nervous.
I thought you were ditching me.

I've never seen
this suit before.

I left it in his hotel room.

Courtesy of "Suits on Main"
if anyone asks.

So how many people
are out there, anyway?

I don't know, but it's
all locals, so, you know,

it'll be over before we know it.

Okay, we're almost ready.

Bryan, you're gonna have to
stay here in the white tent

until just before
Kate introduces you, okay?

- Sure thing.
- Yeah.

Hi. Sorry I'm late.

Kate, this is Henry.

He'll be taping you today,
and then I thought,

wouldn't it be fun for him
to film the two of you

making all the wedding plans,

and then we'll post
the footage on the blog?

How would that be fun?

It'll be fine, you won't even know
he's there, right, Henry?

See? It's a win-win.

You are the dating expert
who's figured it all out.

Men are from Mars, Women are from
Venus... Dr. Kate is from Puget Sound.

Now get out there. They love
you. You're gonna be great.

Hi, guys.

Hi, guys. It's Dr. Kate here.

For a couple months now,

we have been talking about the fact
that I am planning something,

and there will be a huge
announcement regarding it,

and today's the day
that that is going to happen!

I know you all remember

some of the men
that I have dated over the years

that are just... no.

And today is a big "just... yes!"

I'm engaged!

Isn't it great?
So we're very excited...

and, of course, we want you
to meet the man of the hour...

So here he is.

Stop!
Stop, stop!

I mean cut. Cut.

Henry?
What's the problem?

We've lost the feed.

Well, get it back!

- I'm trying, okay?
- Try harder!

Pam, where is it?

No, no, no.
We can't see you yet!

No, I need to talk to her...

We need to make
the announcement first!

You're supposed to come out
when I say "Here... "

I know. I gotta
talk to you right now.

Okay, so...

The feed's gonna
come back any sec...

The feed's gonna come back
any second now.

We'll be right back.

You shouldn't be leaving
at this point.

It's okay, it's okay.

Hey. I'm gonna tell
Henry to leave.

I don't want you
to be uncomfortable...

It's not just the camera, okay?
It's everything.

What...
What does that mean?

It means I don't think
we should get married.

Wait. What?

- I can't marry you, Kate.
- Wait. What are you talking about?

Everything's fine!

I'll just cancel this right now.

Cancel, and then
you'll resent me.

Right? Isn't that
your whole thing?

Isn't that what you always
tell women to avoid?

No! I mean, yes,
but that doesn't apply to us.

We're perfect for each other.

We used to be.
Things have changed...

for both of us.

What are you doing?
Why have you been texting all day?

Who...

Wait. Who were you
texting all day?

Are you seeing someone else?

- Look. I'm... no. I'm sorry...
- Oh, my gosh.

...That it happened like this.

Okay? I just wasn't
sure until now.

We're not meant to be, Kate.

You should go.

- Kate.
- Yeah. No. You should leave.

Right now.

I am really sorry.

Go.

Hey.

Kate.

Kate! We gotta...
We're ready.

Hey, Kate.

I overheard what happened.

- Are you okay?
- Yeah, I just...

I mean, can you believe this?

Can you believe
that I would do this?

I would fall for someone
who would dump their girl

on their engagement day?

Well, at least you found out
the kind of guy he was

before you married him.

Why do you care about this?

Come on, Kate. We were friends
before I became the idiot.

It doesn't matter.
Everything is over.

I mean, my love life is over,
my career is over.

Your career is not over.

Kate! Kate!
The feed is back on.

Okay, I'm just gonna
go tell everyone.

Okay! She's here.

Okay.

So...

Hey, guys. Kate...

Hi. I'm Lucas Wright, and...

I'm Dr. Kate's fiance.

Can I speak to you?

What are you doing?

I had to do something!

No, this is none
of your business.

Kate, you were sitting there.
You looked all sad and alone.

Something came over me,
I had to help.

Bryan just dumped me
on the feed break.

- Wait, what?
- Please tell me you're joking.

I'm not.

- Why would he do that?
- Because he's a jerk, that's why.

Excuse me.
Who exactly are you?

Lucas Wright.
Old childhood friend of Kate's.

And how do you
spell that last name?

W-r-i-g-h-t.

So you're literally
"Mr. Right"?

I'm going go explain to them
what's going on.

- Kate...
- What?

One of the publishers
is about to make an offer

and pay a hefty salary.

This wedding goes away,
so does the book deal.

Is there any chance you could...

stay on as her fiance
for a couple weeks?

Just until
the book deal goes through.

A month max.

No.

- Maybe two.
- No.

We could find a way
to quietly break you up

and-and say something vague,

like, you guys decided that
you're better off as friends.

This is the only way to keep
your reputation, your career intact.

I feel like
this is a horrible idea, right?

- Is it, though?
- You should listen to "Mr. Right".

I mean, obviously,
we can't really get married,

but maybe I can help you out.

No. Everyone's just gonna know
that we're lying.

No. But people know
we were childhood friends,

they'll just think it was
some big whirlwind romance.

No, this isn't going to work

because you don't even
know anything about me.

We can't pretend that.

You don't know my favorite movie,
you don't know my favorite book.

I bet don't even know
how to spell "you're" correctly.

And that's a big one.

Don't you think you're being
a little nitpicky?

No, this is really serious,

because small annoyances
turn into big resentments.

- This is the basis of my blog.
- And your future book.

You have worked so hard
to get to this point.

The train has left the station, Kate.
You can't derail it now.

Kate, let me help you out.

Maybe this is my chance to go from
"hypothetical idiot" to "good friend".

This is just crazy.

What's wrong?

Yeah, this is... Bryan
asked them to play this song.

It's our song.
It's stupid. Sorry.

Wait here.

- You did that?
- I did that.

I love that song.

I do!

Well, I'm happy.
I'm happy that you're happy.

Are you okay?

Yeah.
I'm great.

Kate, I know that today went
nothing like you had planned,

and I'm really sorry.

- Thanks. Today was weird.
- It was very weird.

I bet you my mother
is staring down at me right now,

and she is just saying, "See?"

You know, I don't know,
they were miserable together.

They couldn't even be
in the same room together,

and then, they both just
passed away before they even had

a second chance
to make things right.

That's why I do what I do.
It's good.

I just want women to be able
to get it right the first time.

Except for me, apparently.

There you are!

I have checked you
into your rooms.

Compliments of the hotel,

assuming that you mention
them in your blog,

which you should
probably do ASAP.

Why do we have
to stay here tonight?

So that we can film you meeting

with the wedding planner
first thing in the morning.

Yeah, but we're not really
getting married, so...

No, but you have to
act like you are,

so I have actually booked
a date for the wedding.

Three months from now,
June 29th.

Wait. Three months?
That's fast for anybody.

You're not anybody.
You are Dr. Kate.

Every vendor in this town wants
to be a part of your wedding.

So, go. Taste the cake.
Eat some canapes.

- Drink some champagne!
- Actually, more of a beer guy.

See? And that's why you're so great.
Just down to earth. I love that.

Just play along and
everything's gonna be all right.

Or should I say "Mr. Right"?

Hi. I'm Lucas Wright.
I'm Dr. Kate's fiance.

Hey, Mom.

I need to tell you something.

Okay...

Kate!

You have a key?

You did it.

The publisher wants to make a deal,
and it's gonna be huge.

It's the legal department.
I'll call you as soon as I'm done.

Way to go, girl.

Hey!

Hello.

You look happy.

You don't like that?

No, I just... I heard
you crying last night.

Kate, it's okay.
It's understandable.

No, no, no.

You don't need to pretend

to really care about me like
a real fiance, when no one's around.

Well, how about as a friend?

Hello!

Good morning.
My name is Phyllis.

I've been the wedding coordinator here
at the hotel for the past 30 years.

30 years?

- You must have seen it all.
- You have no idea.

Anyway, I'm looking forward
to working with you both.

I can tell
you're very much in love.

Phyllis?

Yes?

You say that
to all the couples, don't you?

- He's trouble.
- I know.

What... What's this one?

Chocolate cake
with raspberry filling.

It's very popular.

- Yes!
- No.

It never ends.

Hello?

This is good.

Yes.

I mean, that's fine,
if it's your tastes, that's okay.

You have strong feelings
about this.

This cake's never gonna happen.

I mean, theoretically...

Don't eat this cake.

Okay, so I've got
everything I need.

I'll see you both
when Pam decides what's next.

- Okay. Thank you.
- Thanks, Henry.

So, the front desk would
like to know where

you would like the strawberries
and champagne you ordered.

- I didn't.
- That's... that's not ours.

Order was placed three days ago,
by a "Bryan Pankhurst".

- I thought your name was Lucas.
- It is.

That was...

just so nice of our friend, Bryan,
to send us some strawberries,

- ... but I'm kind of full.
- So, where do you want them?

I think you could maybe give that...
You take them! We're stuffed.

I'm gonna call Bryan.

Why?

Because I need to make sure he didn't...
you know, he needs to cancel

all of these romantic things
that he planned for us.

- Hello?
- Is Bryan there?

Bryan?

Hello?

You don't waste any time, huh?

I do care about you and I feel terrible,
but it was the right thing to do.

I actually don't really feel
like speaking to you right now.

I just called to ask you
to please cancel

all of these cliche things
that you set up for us at the hotel.

The strawberries?

Yeah.

When I ordered those,
I was trying

to talk myself into
thinking that we were okay.

Well...

I was okay.

I know. I'm sorry.

Look, if there's
anything I can do...

Obviously, please don't
tell anyone about this.

You at least owe me that.

Okay.

I won't... I won't say a word,
I swear.

You okay?

Lucas. Kate.

Can you go outside for me

and do a quick walk on the beach
for the camera?

You know what?
I'm... I think

I'm just gonna go home
for the rest of today.

People want more romance.
It's part of the deal.

Look, Henry's waiting for you.

Is that raspberry-filled
chocolate cake?

- It's only my favorite.
- Help yourself.

Thanks!

Come on!

You two are supposed to be in love.
Hold hands!

Where did you come from?

Just do it!
Love, love, love!

My hands are rough. I know.

No.

That's one of the downsides

of making handcrafted furniture
with your actual hands.

Trust me, if I'd known I was
gonna spontaneously volunteer

to be your pretend fiance,
I would've moisturized.

Moisturized?
Good to know.

It's Dr. Kate and Mr. Wright!

Oh, my God,
you guys are so cute.

Me and my friends are,
like, totally obsessed.

Can we get a selfie?

I'm not sure.

Thank you!

You're welcome.
Nice to meet you guys.

See ya.

That's so weird.
It keeps happening.

Well, isn't that
sort of the point?

Yeah, I guess so.

Come on. Let's go sit
by the edge of the water.

That's okay.

We don't have chairs
or anything, so...

Well, it's sand, it's not lava.

Actually, it's the perfect
kind of sand.

Perfect for what?

Okay. I think that's done.

Yeah. Yeah.

You're done now?

Yeah. It's finished.

I mean, it's never finished,
but you know.

It's really beautiful.

- Thank you.
- Yeah.

Yeah.
It turned out.

Impressive.

I think that's it, right?

No, I've just got to...

I actually have to go, anyway.

If I don't clean the basement,

my parents will make me
get my own place, so...

Bye.

See ya, guys.

We'll see you tomorrow.

Oh, no!

Oh, no...

I wish I would've taken
a photograph of that.

It's okay.
Everything in life is temporary.

You just got to enjoy life's
moments while you have them.

That's very profound.

Was that... Is that how you
were feeling when we were kids?

Like you just...

were kind of going with your impulses
and living in the moment, then you...

I'm sorry,
and I still feel bad about it,

but it was a long time ago,
I was in high school.

Well, the real reason why...
it really hurt me was...

you know the glass hummingbird
that your friends broke at my house?

Yeah?

It was my mom's, so...

She gave it to me
right before she died.

Kate...

I didn't... I didn't know that.
I'm sorry, really. I'm truly sorry.

It's okay.
It's my fault.

I have a little bit of a problem,
I think, letting go of things.

Look, is there
something that I can do?

I mean, I want to
make this up to you.

Can we get another one?

No, I... No.
It wouldn't be the same.

You know what
you could do, actually?

Is you could pretend to be
my fiance for a couple months.

It would really
help out my career.

That's... What? No.
That's ridiculous.

Why would anyone do that?
That's a terrible idea.

Exactly.
It's really sweet of you.

I do want to thank you for doing it.
It's really nice of you.

Crazy, crazy thing to do.

So I just feel like we should
probably set up an end date.

You know, the day that
we're "breaking up",

so that you can
go back to your life.

Maybe we should
decide to break up,

I don't know, late-May?

- Yeah.
- Okay.

Yeah, no, sure. Whatever...
Whatever you want.

Okay. That'll be great.

So I'm just gonna...
Guess I'll go.

I'm gonna go...
check out of the hotel.

Go home.

- Yeah. Yeah, me too.
- Great.

Hi, guys!

So we're finishing up
our cake blog,

we're gonna be posting
all of it later today,

and then, next week,
we're gonna be doing appetizers.

So, if you've been following me,
you have probably noticed

I have very strong opinions
about food,

but I don't mind
some suggestions...

you can put 'em in the comments,
and we'll check them out.

Bye!

Cut.

That was nice.

So, I would like to know is when
we're going to talk about Lucas

and the fact that you spent
the entire day with him

even after the cameraman left?

Don't make it a thing.

When are you going
to see him again?

He invited me to dinner
at his parents' house.

Totally a thing.

It's totally not a thing.

Not a thing.

- Hey!
- Hey!

- You look nice.
- Thanks.

You have sawdust.

Yeah. I prefer to call that
"craftsmanship artifacts".

Just get in?

Yeah. Get in.
You'll be all right.

Okay.

I'll dust ya off.

You know, we have
a "no phones at dinner" rule.

That's so funny.

Hey, Pam!
What's going on?

Don't say I didn't warn you.

This is my house.

Okay.

I thought we were going
to your parents' house.

We are.
It's right there.

- Hi, Mr. And Mrs. Wright.
- Kate. How nice to see you.

We haven't seen you in years,

and suddenly, here you are,
Lucas's "faux-ancee".

- Mom, really?
- What?

I thought it was clever.

And call me Susan.

I'm sorry.

And you can call
your fauxther-in-law "Roy".

Susan. We got it.
Shall we go in?

Yes, let's... let's go in.

Kate, I don't think
you've met my sister.

This is Jamie.

I know you.
All my friends read your blog.

This is so cool.

I can't believe you're
engaged to my brother.

Fake-engaged.

I'm so sorry.
I just want you to know.

I know how weird this is.

Give the poor girl 30 seconds.

Come on in, Kate.
Dinner's almost ready.

Sorry. My mom... she does this.

Your house is gorgeous.

I remodeled it myself.

So that's where you get it from?

- Are you a carpenter also?
- I was more of a gardener.

He had a hedge fund
and hired a guy.

You're no fun.

Can you take this
upstairs, please?

Oh, yeah.

- Up... Upstairs?
- To the balcony.

We always have Sunday dinner
on the balcony.

Fear of heights?

No.

I don't have a fear of heights.

You all right?

Yeah.

- Here.
- Thanks.

You know, it's not that high.

Yeah, no, it's not the height.
I don't like balconies that much.

Really?

Yeah, I just feel like

these things don't
really seem that sturdy,

like, if you leaned against them,
you could fall to your death?

You mean like this?

Yeah. Stop that.
Don't do that.

It's solid!
Kate, relax.

You don't know that for sure.

I do, I build things
for a living. Trust me.

You know what? Here.
Just... Just look out.

Focus on the view.
It's amazing.

That is really beautiful.

I'm gonna sit down.

Here we go.

Yes.

Because I know
the rule... no tech...

I'm just turning it off.

Okay. Well. I...

We would like to just take this time
to chat about our day,

maybe talk about
plans for the future,

and how you sweet-talked my son
into pretending to be your fiance.

Nice, Susan.
Real smooth.

Well, I think
we have a right to know,

if we're supposed to
keep this big secret.

Mom, I told you, it was my idea.
I'm just helping out a friend.

You haven't been friends
since high school.

Kate, I love your hair.

I wish I could figure out
how to curl it like that.

Thank you.
I could show you.

That would be amazing.
She's a keeper.

Jamie, remember, it's...

Yeah, I know, not real,

but Kate is awesome,
and I don't have a sister,

so I'm gonna enjoy this
until it's over.

When is that, exactly?

Well, it'll be way before
any actual wedding.

You know, it's really
nothing to worry about.

No! No, no!

I'm sorry, dear.

Roy, bruschetta?

- I tried to warn you.
- No. It's okay. Did she really...

Relax.
She never actually throws it.

Well, maybe this time I did.

Susan.

Fine.

Fine.

Thank you. I'm sorry.

Welcome to the faux-mily.

Stop.

Shush. It's funny.

Okay...

Let's eat, shall we?

Salad, please.

Now, is this
a perm that you have?

That's not a perm.
That's my real hair.

Natural?

Where'd you go to school?

Princeton.

Really?

Magna Cum Laude.

- In carpentry?
- In business! Thank you very much.

I'm sorry, I just didn't know
you had left home for school.

I was in New York for a few years,
working as a broker.

Then everything changed

and I realized that,
life is too short

to be working at
a job that you hate.

So I packed up, came home,
opened up the shop, and...

here I am.

I'm sorry. What changed?

My fiancee died.

I'm so sorry.

I probably should've
said something earlier,

I just, I didn't know how, or...
or when, or if at all.

Yeah.

Maybe
I should've known that.

I don't know if I would've let you,
you know, do all of this for me.

I don't want you to do something
if it's painful for you.

It was a long time ago, Kate.

I mean, you asked me
why I live in the moment?

Emily is why.

I made a decision
to help you out,

you know, in the moment,
and I'm glad I did.

Only one thing to do
at a time like this.

- Yeah? Yeah?
- Come on.

My first time.

Hit the edge
and go sideways there.

- Victory is mine!
- You feel better?

You know I let you win,
'cause you were feeling sad.

That's my story
and I'm sticking to it.

Do you wanna let me win again?

- No, once is enough.
- Interesting.

You're getting some real
traction now, Kate.

People want to see more,
plus, we are in the middle

of negotiating
a big cash advance,

so you need
to stay on the radar.

Just excuse me one sec.
There's just a little problem.

Okay, what is the problem?

This is where I was
picking out my wedding dress

when I was getting married
to Bryan, so I just feel like...

You know what?
We need to end this right now.

But I didn't even
raid your closet yet!

Yeah. Well...

that is an important part of it,
isn't it?

It's a sister thing.

You can raid my closet no
matter what ends up happening.

Stop talking like this is over.

I just feel like
we shouldn't really be

planning something
that isn't going to happen.

I am trying to close this deal
as fast as I can.

That's my job.

And your job
is to stay relevant.

You know what's relevant?

Your wedding!

Why is it two months?

Because everybody
loves a June wedding.

Yes.

Especially publishers,
and their marketing departments.

Get it?

We do.

Yeah!

So go change.

Look at you!

You look... unbelievable!

What do you got?

Nothing, just a...

special project I'm working on.

Haven't seen you in a few days.

Did I miss the announcement
of our breakup?

No! No. We're still engaged, so...
don't worry.

Who said I was worried?

Right. Well,
you know what I mean.

So is that why you came by?
To tell me we're still together?

No, I...

I'm working late,
and I just needed some coffee.

What, I was just walking past,

and I thought "Oh,
he might need some coffee, too".

So, do you want some coffee?

You mean you're gonna go get me
a coffee and bring it back?

Okay.

Or you could...

come with me.

Or not.
You could...

Yeah. That'd be great.

Okay, great.

I'd say "great" again,
but it feels like it'd be overkill.

I think that's a good call.

Yeah.

All right. Yeah.

Hi.

You know, instead of my usual
large coffee,

can I get a half-caf, skinny,
soy, no-foam cappuccino

with two pumps of vanilla?

That's Lucas with a "C" not a "K".

Did you bring money?
Because I forgot my wallet.

Yeah, I have money.

I'll just have a black coffee.

Thank you.

You watched my blog.

That's impossible.

There is no way that
someone commissioned

a wood carving
of their appendix.

- You don't believe me?
- No.

Can I... Can I use your phone?

Sure.

Okay. Look at that.

No, no.

Right?

Well... we should
probably go.

Sorry.

- Thank you.
- Thank you.

I feel like I haven't laughed
in a long time.

I didn't laugh
that much with Bryan.

Really?

Medical equipment salesmen are
some of the funniest people I know.

He was nice, he wasn't so bad.
I loved him.

But did you like him?
Did you like being with him?

Yeah, of course.

I liked that I knew he was never
going to do anything

that would drive me crazy.

Right, so you were with Bryan

because you didn't have
a reason not to be?

I have to go.

Hey. I...
I'm sorry, Kate.

I didn't mean to pry.

No, it's okay.
I'll just see you tomorrow.

Power's out across the bridge.
We're doing the best we can.

Excuse me.

What...

"Water and power outage".

Amazing.

Hello?

Anna, hey.
I think my electricity's out.

Did you hear anything?

Well, you can stay at my place
if you want.

That's okay.

You're in the studio right now,
above the garage.

What about Lucas?
He's got a spare room.

No, I'll be fine.

Okay.

- Bye.
- Bye.

Come in?

Hey.

I can't believe
Anna called you. Right?

Yeah, why didn't you call me?
I have an extra room.

- I don't want to impose.
- Kate, is this about earlier?

I... Look.

I shouldn't have judged
your relationship with Bryan.

I'm sorry,
but look, don't be stubborn.

- Come stay at my place.
- I like this. It's like camping.

But your food's going to
go rotten by tomorrow,

you've got no plumbing, and
there's no power for your devices.

- Yeah. I hate camping.
- Come on.

It's really nice.

I can literally feel you
judging me, and it burns, Kate.

It burns.

No, I'm... I'm in no position
to judge anyone.

Well, let me... let me
show you the guest bedroom.

It's clean.

Hey.

Hey.
Sorry it's empty.

I don't care about that.

It's just...
I just..

I just did this blog recently,
and, you know, I just say

that sometimes if a man's
refrigerator is empty,

then his heart's
gonna also be empty.

- Really?
- That's a theory.

Well, you know, my feelings would
be hurt right now, but they're not.

- Because of my empty, empty heart.
- Of course.

Good thing I got groceries!
Thump-thump. Thump-thump.

- That's my heart.
- That is so sweet.

You got a lot of plums, huh?

Yeah. Hey-hey-hey-hey!

Don't eat the plums!
They're not ripe yet.

- It's fine.
- No. It's not fine.

If you eat all the plums
before they're ripe,

by the time they are ripe,

there's not gonna be any left.
Give me those.

You're right.

Guys...

if a woman eats her fruit
before it's ripe,

it means she's got
deep-seated issues

with patience and self-control.

- That's true.
- Is it?

Yeah, you're completely right.

Don't let it go to your head.

- Lucky guess.
- I got a read on you.

I see you.

Really?

Yeah. A little bit.
A little bit.

I know some things.

So, here's how it works.
You try everything...

and if there's
something you both like,

you check the box.

Okay.

Should we start with this?
Chicken. You want it?

No, you don't want that.

I don't really like that.
Do you like that?

I would eat it,
but if you don't like it,

let's try something else.

Humus?

Don't you want
to try the cheese first?

Look, they have blue cheese,
which is everyone's favorite.

- I don't really like blue cheese.
- This is goat cheese!

Have you really
tried blue cheese?

- I have, yeah, many times...
- And you just don't like it?

Yeah. Yeah. I don't
like blue cheese.

Should we try...?

No?

I don't eat pork.

You don't eat pork?

But that's the best blue cheese
I've ever tasted.

So do we have
any checkmarks yet?

Nothing?

- Could we have a checkmark?
- Amazing.

Have you really
tried blue cheese?

I have, yeah, but...

And you just don't like it?

Yeah. Yeah. I don't
like blue cheese.

That one's perfect.
Tell me what you think.

- I love it!
- You do?

You should really
be a hairstylist.

I think I'll stick with being
a clinical psychologist for now,

but, look, I have a backup plan,
I can be a hairstylist.

Where are you going, anyway?

Just to the mall
with my friends.

- Aren't you a little dressed up?
- What?

I'm just gonna back away...

easy now...

Bo. Come on.

Let's go outside, me and you,
the boys, and hang out.

Well, he's your bother, so...

- You have it.
- No. Let's split it.

Okay.

This is about
a finger and a half.

- No, no, I...
- It's fine, it's fine, it's fine.

You know how they talk about
little things becoming big things?

Yeah.

This?

That's borderline-psycho stuff
right here.

Really?

Well, the good news

is that we're only engaged
for couple more weeks,

and then you can have
the entire scone again.

Wait a minute,
is this the first time

someone's told you about one
of your little annoyances?

Maybe.

So I guess this is not a good time
to talk about your snoring?

That's not true.

All right, you want to
binge-watch "Afraid of the Badge"?

No thanks.
I don't really like cop shows.

Kate, you know, I've been
very generous with the remote

the whole time you've been here,

but I cannot watch one more second
of British people and their servants.

Really?

- You have the remote, then.
- Really? You don't mind?

No. I'll just
finish reading...

Look.

My book is about British
people and their servants.

No!

Come on!

This is your fault.

Okay, let's watch
the next season.

Okay, well, first of all...

Go get it.

It's six in the morning!

Go get it!

And, second,
there is no second season.

It's not out yet.

- What?
- It's not out yet.

No, I don't have
the patience for that!

I don't know what to tell ya.

That's it.

Aw, see?

This is ridiculous.

This is why...

Yeah.

You know, I just didn't...

All right, well, I...

I guess it's time for bed.

I mean, I go to my bed,
you go to your bed.

Kate?

Sure I can't go in there
and give her a hand?

Well, she said she wanted
to cook the meal all by herself.

Oh, no!

Just...
change of plans!

That's not good.

My...

- Maybe next week you can cook again.
- Really?

Yeah, I've heard that
new barbecue place delivers.

- Roy!
- This looks great!

Yeah!

Yeah, pizza.

Men love pizza.

So... Roses?

Well, I feel like
everybody does roses, right?

Yes.

- So, maybe something different?
- Tea roses?

What?

Do you have, ranunculus?
Or, ranunculuses? Ranunculi?

I'm not sure how you say it,
but Kate loves them.

They're much more difficult
to work with.

They're unpredictable.
They are the toddler of flowers.

But they're amazing, though.

When they finally bloom, they
open up with layers and depth

you didn't even
realize were there.

This is gold.

Make sure and stay
on top of the focus.

Thank you.

Hey. So this is just
gonna be for pretend, right?

Because you can't send
a fake couple presents?

So what if they do?

That's what a return
policy is for.

No, I don't like that.

Well...

- Hey!
- Hi.

Here you go.

Cool!
Pew! Pew! Pew!

Are you used to
this behavior from men?

Yep. Every time.

Henry?

- So what are we supposed to do?
- Just scan for whatever you want.

Do you have compound miter saw
with a 12-inch combine blade?

No?

Waffle iron!

Pew! That's a must-have.

- Yeah, good. Right there.
- Right?

Um... maybe?

I'm a pancake person.

'Course you are.

You know, our house
is going to be a mess.

Your house
is a mess. Yes.

But I could live with pancakes.

Well...

I like waffles okay.

Wow. D...
Do they have dish towels?

Hey.

What're you doing?

Well...

I was hoping you and Lucas
were actually getting married,

so I was getting ready...
just in case.

Well, I am.

No, no.
I am putting a stop to this.

We're talking about real people
with real feelings,

so if they want to cancel,
they can go ahead and cancel.

Lucas is on his way here
right now,

and we're going to stop this
before someone gets hurt.

- One more refill?
- Yes.

Am I too late?
Please tell me I'm not too late.

No, we're just about
to get started. Are you ready?

Yeah.

But first, just hear me out...

No, I don't wanna
hear you out, Pam.

We already talked about this.
Remember?

But we didn't talk about the call
I just got from the publisher.

They want to start
booking you on talk shows.

Kate! That's huge.

- Really?
- Yes.

Look, Kate, you're so close to
having everything you ever wanted.

What's another week?

I always knew I liked you.

Yes!

- Come on! You're killing me.
- What?

Why do you walk so slow?

I'm enjoying the scenery.
You walk too fast.

No, I don't!

Don't you want to
get where you're going.

You know what?
It's totally fine.

We're not a real couple,
so, doesn't matter.

What's that mean?

It just means
that we disagree on everything.

I mean, we literally
walk through life

at completely different paces.

Do you think that really matters
in a relationship

if two people love each other?

Yes, I know that it does.

That's my parents' boat.

It's really cute.

I don't really
like sailing, so...

Well, we don't
have to take it out.

It's just nice to sit,
take in the view.

Yeah.

Come on.

Here you go.

Okay.

- Nice!
- Thank you.

All right, let's
go up front here.

Hey!

Kate!

Okay.

You sure you don't
want to take it out?

Yep.

Get some fresh ocean air?

No, no.

I'm just gonna hold

this piece of wood
right here for a second.

I get seasick.

Come on. It's smooth
as silk out there.

Seriously.

I promise, you're not
gonna get sick.

Oh, my...

There we go.

You okay?

- Hey.
- Hey.

How are you feeling?

Better.

Good.

How long have you
been staring at me?

A while.

Why?

I've been trying to decide
whether or not to tell you

how much I want to kiss you.

What'd you decide?

Who's that, at this hour?

Is Kate here?

Hey!
Who said you could come in?

Kate!

How'd you get my address,
anyway?

You can find anything
on the Internet, friend.

And I'm not interested
in the whole "fiance" act.

I'm here to speak to Kate,
not you.

Well, maybe she doesn't
want to talk to you.

I'll talk to him.

- Are you sure?
- Yeah.

It's okay.

What's up?

You wouldn't return my calls
or emails, so I'm here in person.

Well, you better hurry up.

You don't wanna
leave your girlfriend waiting.

I broke up with Stephanie.
For good.

Stephanie?
From the office "Stephanie"?

- Are you kidding me?
- It's over, Kate.

I realized that I made
a huge mistake leaving you.

And then I see your blog,

and I see how you're...
you're celebrating our wedding

with some other guy, and I...

I realized
that I still love you,

and I want you back.

Kate, you were right.
We were perfect together.

We liked the same things,
we never fought...

you said yourself, that's
what makes a relationship last.

I did say that.

But I had us wrong.

There were a lot of things
wrong with our relationship.

Just saying that...

you were right, of course.

We were never meant
to be together.

You couldn't have
said that earlier?

What?

- Maybe you should go.
- Yeah. Maybe I should.

You know what?
I'm already... I'm already gone.

Good!
Go check in on Stephanie!

- Hey.
- Hey.

No, no, no.
You know what?

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
I can't do any of this.

I...

Yes, Kate, yes, you can.

No, no, no.
No, I can't.

This whole thing was
based on a lie.

No. What we have is real.
You know it. I know it.

I need to take a step back
and look at things objectively,

and I think
we both should do that.

You're just afraid.

'Cause, if we're together,

then everything you've ever said
about love is wrong.

That's not true.
I'm not afraid.

My apartment...

the power's back on,
so I just need to go back there.

I just have some things
I need to do.

You know, I have to do
what I should've done.

Weeks ago,
I should've just told the truth,

apologized.

And I really want to tell you
the most, out of anyone,

that I'm sorry.

I'm really sorry I involved you
in any of this.

I don't know.

Hey, thanks for...
thanks for breakfast, Mom.

You're sad.

You get a happy-face waffle,
no matter how old you are.

It says she's
live-streaming in an hour.

What do you think
she's going to say?

I don't know,

but I wish she would
let me be there for her.

It's something she needs to do
on her own, son.

You rinsed your dish.

You've never done that
in your life.

Yeah, it was a Kate thing
when we were living together.

We had a deal... I do that,

she wouldn't use
12 glasses a day.

That really
used to drive me insane.

I didn't think I'd ever see
that look in your eye again.

Yeah. Me either.

That's right.
That's right.

Kate, wait!

Sweetie,
what are you doing here?

I'm-I'm about to go public
with the truth.

We're live-streaming.

But I'm not ready to lose you.
None of us are.

Just wait right here, okay?
We'll do this together.

Okay?

It's okay.

Okay.

Three, two...

Stop!

Kate, why are you live-streaming
something without me knowing?

- What's going on?
- She's telling the truth.

What? Now? You can't!

You're just gonna
be throwing away

everything
that we've worked for.

No. I need to do this.

No. I can't
allow you.

Well, it's not your choice, Pam.

Kate, you really
need to rethink this,

because, seriously,
this is not the right decision.

I just want you
to stay calm, okay?

Either you can wait here, or you
can wait outside, it's your choice.

- You ready?
- I'm ready.

Tell me when it's time.

Three, two, one...

We're streaming live.

Hi, everybody.
It's Dr. Kate Lawrence, Ph.D.

And today will be the most...

...important blog
of my life.

I know you all have been
following me

and watching me plan
my wedding to Lucas Wright,

and I want you to know...

...that I haven't been honest
about some things,

and I want to tell the truth.

No.

- No!
- No, no, no, no!

- Wait...
- This is not good.

We need to cut the stream.

Why?

It's Stephanie.

What are you talking about?

Stephanie?
Bryan's Stephanie?

Apparently, a few minutes
before you started streaming,

she posted her own video
exposing you

and linked it to your site.

Kate, this is
already going viral.

Just a little message
to all of you waiting to hear

from your beloved Dr. Kate...
She's conning you.

She was dumped
by Bryan Pankhurst

on the day
of their engagement party,

and then she's been passing off
some other guy as her fiance.

Everything she's said and done
since that day is a lie.

She's is a complete fraud.

Dr. Kate?

Just... no.

I am so sorry.

Wow...

Just when I was gonna
tell the truth.

Well, no one's gonna
believe you now.

- No, Kate.
- Kate!

Kate!

Poor kid.

I have to find her.

Kate, there you are.

I've been looking
for you everywhere.

You saw Stephanie's video?

And everything that came after.
I'm so sorry, Kate.

Don't be sorry.
It's not your fault.

I just tried to do the right
thing a little bit too late,

and I've completely
ruined my life.

I do wish I could go back
to the way things were.

Except there's one problem.

We can't go back.

We're beyond that.

We have something
special. Kate.

No, don't say that to me,
because that's not even true.

See, this is actually a classic case
of self-deception.

You have pretended
for so long...

...that you love me,

that you're just starting
to believe it, you know?

You think I'm so weak,
I don't know my own heart?

No, I don't think that,

I just think
that, you know, you...

if you just take a step back
from us for a second,

and then you will realize that
this is just fantasy, between us.

You know, we would never make it

in the real world together.

Look, I know that's what you're
afraid of, but you're wrong.

We have something special.

Please don't say that.

I've fallen in love
with you, Kate.

Hey! Hey!
This isn't a reality show.

You really need to go.
Really. Just, please.

You'll be happy that you did.

You don't need to clean up
my messes anymore.

Fine. You know what?

If you can't see what's
right in front of you,

I will go.
I'm done trying to help you.

Okay, well, you go ahead
and go, then.

It's all right,

because I know the only reason
why you did this whole thing

is because you feel bad about

what you did to me
in high school.

You don't have a clue
what happened!

You have no...

Just forget it.
You wouldn't believe me anyway.

Just forget the whole thing.

I'm sorry.

Oh, Kate.

I appreciate a good wallow
just as much as the next girl,

but you ought to think about
getting dressed, maybe go outside.

Why? So people can stare
at me and make fun of me?

No thank you.

Okay, so, do you want me to go
to the store for you one more time?

Can you do me a favor?

Can you just stop at Lucas's
house and get my stuff for me?

Seriously?

Kate, you are miserable.
Why don't you just go talk to him?

No. I can't.
I wasn't very nice to him.

Trust me, it's not a good idea.

Okay. I'll go.

Love you.

Do you ever knock?

Kate, we need to talk.

Not now.

You have been "not now" -ing me
for over two weeks.

I just feel like being alone.

Don't worry. You are.

You've lost almost all
the advertisers on your blog

and the publisher wants to
cancel the contract

based on the "bad faith" clause.

Which means what?

Which means that the contract
is null and void,

because you were
misrepresenting yourself

at the time
in which you signed it.

So I've lost everything?

That's right.
Congratulations.

Why are you smiling?

Because I feel like this means
I don't need an agent, right,

so I could just fire you?

What are you saying?

That you're fired.

Oh, no.

You mean I won't make
15% commission of zero?

I'm sorry if I'm imposing.
It's just that...

I know that today
was the wedding day, and...

I just wanted to see
if you're okay.

I had just thought
that you didn't like me.

I could never hate the woman

that my son
has fallen in love with.

Oh, he doesn't feel that way
about me.

We had a fight.

Fight, schmight.
That's what couples do.

Well, not if
they want to be happy.

Kate, do you really believe

that the absence of conflict
in a relationship

is what makes it work?

Yes! I absolutely do.

I've based my whole life's work
on that concept.

I believe it is my job
in the world

to keep people from getting
in a bad relationship

to begin with, you know,

so they don't end up
in a bad marriage,

like my parents.

Oh. I take it
they weren't happy.

No.

They used to fight
over every little thing,

and then, you know,
all those little things add up,

and all they were left with
in the end

was just bitterness
and resentment and...

Anyway, it's just
Lucas and I are so different,

there's no way
we could ever really know

if it was going to work out
between us.

Well...
You don't know.

That's love.

I mean,
it's the ultimate leap of faith.

Is it scary? Yes.

But when it's right,

and when
you love someone enough,

well, then,
all those little things,

they just... go away.

You know,

Roy and I
have had our differences,

but that's why
it makes it so fun.

Imagine how dull it would be
if we were all exactly alike.

Yeah.

So...

I haven't really had a talk like
this in a... in a very long time,

like, a...

Mother-daughter talk?

Yeah.

I would like to fix this,
but it's not gonna work.

It's too late for us.

It's not too late.
Go talk to him!

Tell him how you feel.

- I don't know how I feel.
- Oh, yes, you do.

- I do?
- Yes. Yes.

I mean, you should've seen
the look on his face after our fight.

He doesn't want to see me again.

I have been
texting you all morning.

Have you seen this?
It was amazing? Hi, Susan.

- See what?
- Look.

What is this?

I honestly don't know.

Just...

I just want to say
to all the women out there

who have trusted Dr. Kate
for all these years

and who are angry at her now...

don't punish her for this.

It was my idea.
The whole thing.

Kate, I've never told you
this before, but...

that night I was supposed to
come over and watch the movie?

I didn't bring my friends

because I didn't want to
be alone with you.

It was because
I had such a huge crush on you,

I just freaked out.

What?

I was so terrified
of being humiliated,

I just... I chickened out.

And then those jerks
broke that glass hummingbird.

I had no idea it was your mom's.

But I understand now

why you looked at me
the way you did.

And, in that moment,

I knew I was never gonna
get a second chance.

But then, all of a sudden,
20 years later, I did.

Stepping in to be your fiance

was the easiest decision
I've ever made.

I love you, Kate.

What?

I always have,
and I always will.

And... And to everyone else
out there?

Please, be nice.

She was just trying to help.

You Internet people are brutal.

Okay. I...

I guess that's it.

Did you know about this?

No, I didn't,
but I think it's wonderful.

Anna, what time
did he post this?

Four hours ago.

So I haven't answered, and now
he thinks that I don't love him.

- So you do love him?
- Of course I do!

- What should I do?
- Go! Go! Yeah, go!

- Where's my jacket?
- Where are your keys?

My keys are in my jacket!

Go!

Get out!

It's been hours
since I posted that video.

Maybe she doesn't love me.

Maybe I got it wrong.

Or she hasn't even
seen the video yet.

Of course, she has.
She's always online.

Why did I put myself
out there again?

And on the wedding day,
what was I thinking?

You weren't thinking.
That's love.

I just have to face facts.
I blew it.

Again.

Lucas, just wait a few minutes.
Don't give up.

I'm going for a walk.

Come on, Bo.
Let's go outside!

Kate. Come in.

Have you checked his house?

Yeah! He's not there.

Well, why are you here?
You didn't find him?

No, I thought for sure
he'd be here.

You're looking for Lucas?

- Yes.
- Yes!

I don't know where he went.

Well, did you call
his cell phone?

Well, his cell phone's
right there on the table,

next to the sculpture.

- What is this?
- It's one of his side projects.

He's been working on it
night and day.

It was for her.

It was for you!

I think he might love me.

I think I know where he is.

Where'd these come from?

California.

I ordered them that day
we were at the flower shop.

I wanted you to have them...

in case we actually
decided to get married.

Spur of
the moment. Ahem.

It was a stupid idea.

They wouldn't cancel the order
and I knew they'd be here,

I guess I wanted to see them.

But I didn't expect
to see you here.

I saw your video.

If you don't feel the same way,
I understand.

I hope I didn't embarrass you.

You didn't.

I love you.

You love me?

I turned off my phone.

Your phone was turned off?
That's impossible!

I wanted to hide
from the world today.

- Our wedding day.
- Our fake wedding day.

Then what do you say
we make it real?

Dr. Kate Lawrence...
will you marry me?

- Today?
- Today!

Yes.

- I saw the hummingbird.
- It's not glass, like your mom's.

It was perfect.
