All language subtitles for Doctor Odyssey S01E16 - Double Booked

Part of the paternity test
is to identify the fetal DNA.

And there was none.
I'm not pregnant.

How about you, Captain?
You doing okay?

I'm about to become
a dad again...

at an age when most men
are becoming grandpas.

We are undoubtedly
a complicated trio.

My feelings for
you are very real,

and they're very serious.

I spent a lot of my life
sailing away at sea,

and I never really found
the one true thing.

You are that one
true thing, Avery.

So that's why I came back.

♪ Oh, you're like a machine ♪

♪ Yeah, I've never seen
anything quite like you do ♪

♪ Ooh, you make me believe ♪

♪ I mean it ♪

♪ Move ♪

♪ Ah, ah, ah ♪

♪ Move, ah-ah, ah ♪

♪ I like the way you move ♪

♪ Ooh, yeah ♪

♪ Move, move, move, move ♪

Last week, you both came to me

and declared you wanted
a relationship with me.

After serious thought,
I have made a decision.

I'm leaving for med
school in a month,

and starting a potentially long-term
relationship makes no sense.

Better to leave here
single and unencumbered.

So...

the answer is "no"...
to both of you.

Let's go meet the Trad Wives.

Sorry. Can we
just talk about...

I'm sorry. Did you
just say "Trad Wives"?

No. Yes.

Trad, a.k.a. Traditional Wife,

a woman who prioritizes
family, motherhood,

homemaking, homeschooling,
homesteading,

and, above all, her
husband's needs.

How unmodern.

And yet, Penny Hollister
is a social-media sensation

with over 2 million followers.

She's coming on the ship with
her new book, "And Obey,"

- "And Obey"?
- As in love, honor, and...

Oh, my God.

So they have to have
permission to come aboard,

presumably from their husbands.

Oh, the husbands come with,
and they all get to enjoy

their cruise like
any other guest.

This has been fascinating.
But can we go back to the...

I've made a decision.
And that was it. Okay?

Okay. Consider
yourself unencumbered.

Let's go meet the guests!

There she is!

I've tried all of your recipes.

That kitchen of yours?

Your regenerative farm
is an inspiration.

- My kids love the crafts!
- I don't know how you do it!

Well, I can't wait
to share all my tips

and hear all of yours in return.

We'll have plenty of time
at the demos, readings,

and sewing circles.

Could you sign this?

I'm a little surprised
that you're into all this.

I'm into any woman getting
to choose her own path.

I think some of our guests may
be taking a different path.

Can you show me where I can
set up to demo my vibrators?

I'm gonna need a big table.

Do the words "and
obey" mean something

other than what we
think they mean?

No way.

It's Mona Yeager!
She's a legend!

She's a sex-positive expert who has
legions of fans, including myself.

I've read all of her books and
I've seen all of her videos.

I bet she's not
tethered to a man

who's telling her what to do.

Unless he asks
very, very nicely.

Does anyone know
how these two groups

wound up on the same cruise?

Me. I do.

We had one book tour
reserved and open space.

So some bozo in
corporate decided,

"Hey, we'll just add
another book tour."

I mean, they're
both about women.

The only problem was, is that...

no one bothered
to read the books.

Or the summaries.

Fasten your seat belts, folks.

We're in for a bumpy ride.

Captain, our agenda has
the Great Room booked

for Penny's first event.
- And this has me

in the Great Room
at the same time.

Which is unfortunate
because, as you can see,

we only have one Great Room.

Is sharing a possibility?

Not unless we want an STD.

We've had this tour
booked for months now.

Does the wife speak or is she
just the dummy in the act?

- Sst!
- Okay. Apologies.

My sincere apologies
for the double booking.

And my staff is
currently working

on the rest of the schedule.

In the meantime...

would ya settle for a good
old-fashioned coin toss?

Call it.

Talk to me about satisfaction.

When is the last time
you had really great sex?

Do you remember where you were?

Do you remember the
feel of the sheets,

the grass, the
Ferris wheel seat?

I want you to have
that again. And again.

That freedom. That
intensity. That joy.

Don't you miss that?

Think back...
- Think back.

Think back to a time
when life was... simpler,

when our souls felt nourished...

when those around you felt
nurtured and cared for...

and you knew

what your purpose was.

Hm!

Don't you miss that?
- Don't you miss that?

Don't you miss hot sex?

Being completely connected?

- To your family.
- Your body.

- Your duty.
- And can you make it

a priority to rediscover...

The pleasure of service and...

Submission to that desire.

Sex lowers blood pressure.

It ramps up the immune system.

It has no carbs.
It feels amazing.

Why do we complicate it so much?

Now, think back

to the greatest sex
you've ever had.

♪ Ooh ♪

♪ Ooh ♪

Now ask yourself...
how long has it been

since you gave yourself over...

To the pleasure

of a committed and
devoted partnership?

Isn't that what we all want?

True bonds that supersede all.

What if we prioritized...

- Our sex life...
- ...our home life,

regarding it as a privilege?

And not a chore
to be checked off.

And what if we believed
that we were born

to be spoiled and indulged...

satisfied and gratified
without guilt or shame?

And what if I challenged
each and every one of you

to have a blazing orgasm

by the end of the day?

I'll be on the leisure deck
all afternoon for questions.

And our workshops.

I hope to see you all there.

It's very nice.

Hey, can you count out the
condoms and dental dams

for our new guests?

Also, do you mind counting
out all the lube for me?

♪ Ooh, la la la ♪

You okay? Do you want
a hand with that?

No. I... Uh, I'm an idiot.

A stomach ache? For how long?

It's nothing. Gabe
insisted I come see you.

It's been bothering
her for a while.

It's just stress...
between this book launch

and the trip and everything
that will be waiting for me

on the ranch when I get home.

Any chance it's a
sign she's pregnant?

We've been trying for
our third for a while.

Oh, I'm... I'm not pregnant.

I know my body. I
remember how I felt.

Why don't I take a look?
We'll see what's going on.

Okay if I examine you?

Hmm. Any nausea?

No?

There's no rigidity.
No rebound tenderness.

That's good news.

Have you had anything
to eat or drink today?

We had the ship's buffet,
which was amazing.

And you did do the, uh,
raw-milk demonstration.

- Hm.
- You had raw milk?

Have you had that before?

Penny?

Every day.

Any issues before this?
- No.

We feed it to our
kids every day, too.

It's rich in beneficial bacteria

and reduces the risk
of asthma, allergies.

Maybe, but the FDA has
labeled it as dangerous.

And you are far more likely to
be hospitalized with listeria,

E. coli, salmonella,

a whole list of things,
if you ingest it.

Well, we're not here
to have a debate

over what I feed my family.

Is there something wrong
with my wife's stomach?

Why don't I run some tests?

We can rule out any
foodborne illnesses

and see if maybe
you're pregnant.

When you are finished recording,

you may hang up or press
1 for more options.

Hi. Hi. It's me again.

I was thinking of ya.

God. I wish you'd pick
up so we could talk.

Call me back, please.

Max. What's up?

Hey, Cap. I'm... I'm
sorry to bother you.

Munroe told me I could
find you down here.

Penny Hollister came
down to the infirmary

complaining of abdominal pain.

Could be listeria,
possibly E. coli...

very likely because of the
raw-milk tasting she did earlier.

But if it's not the raw milk,
then we have to consider

that the infection came
from the ship's food

and that we're looking
at a major outbreak.

Some days, the hits
just keep on comin'.

Rough day, Cap?

Uh, I better get ahold
of the head of culinary.

Max, thank you.

Hey! Hi.

I'm Avery, the
nurse practitioner.

Can I help you?

This is my first time on a ship,

and, honestly, I just
like a little green.

Oh. I have just the
thing for seasickness.

Come on in.
- Okay. Thank you.

This just goes behind your ear.

Thank you.

I don't want to be weird...

but I'm a huge fan.

It's not weird at all.

I saw you at my talk earlier.

Ah. It was very inspiring.

Hm? The question is, have
you done your homework?

I did.

Blazed my own trail, as it were.

- Good for you!
- Mm-hmm.

Or not so good for you.

It... It was.

Just not quite as
satisfying as I had hoped.

I'm all for self-care, but
sometimes you need a...

extra set of hands,
shall we say?

Is that a problem for you?

Yes and no.

There are two men on the ship
who are interested in me.

But you're not
attracted to them.

It's just wrong timing.

I'm leaving for med
school in a month,

and it's not a good time to
start a relationship, so...

Who said anything
about a relationship?

Just talking about sex.

Pick one of those guys
and have sex with him.

And then have sex
with the other one.

What's stopping you?

You said you didn't
want a relationship.

- I don't.
- So you just want to have...

Sex. One on one.

- With no commitments.
- Exactly.

- Yes.
- No.

Wait. You didn't
hear the whole thing.

I heard what I needed. I'm in.

- I heard enough. I'm out.
- Let me explain.

Explain what? You,
me, sex. Say no more.

This is how we can
avoid the deep feelings

and any relationship
we need to break up.

It's not for me,
Avery. I'm sorry.

So how soon can we
start? Now? I'm free now.

Penny's back in the infirmary
with a fever. We got to go.

Thank you for... the offer.

We were relaxing on the deck
when her pain was getting worse.

I'm going to be fine.

Well, your blood work
did come back negative

for foodborne illness
and for pregnancy.

- Ah.
- But you are a little anemic

and your white
blood count is high,

so we're just gonna
take a look around

and see what else we can find.

This will be a little cold
when I put it on. Okay?

- Mm-hmm.
- I knew it wasn't the milk.

We were just doing
our due diligence

based on medical science
and established research.

We prefer to do
our own research.

- "We" or "he"?
- I don't appreciate you

speaking to my wife that way.
- Gabe.

May I?

To answer your question,

my husband and I agree
both on this topic and...

not caring if you
approve our lifestyle.

That's fair.

And I truly believe every woman

should have the right
to choose her own life.

Oh, you support my right

even as you judge me
for the actual choice.

All you see is
what I've given up.

But...

Look at everything
that I've got...

a peaceful home with
the time and space

to devote to the people I
love so that they can thrive.

That is my work.

And my husband's support
allows me to do that.

We have a true partnership.

Isn't that what everybody wants?

Penny, you have a mass resting
up against your bladder.

A mass? What...
What does that mean?

Means we're gonna
have to run a CT scan.

Penny had a lot to say.
Once she opened up.

Change your mind about anything?

I'm fine with all
of it, in theory.

A peaceful home. The
love of a good man.

Awesome-smelling candles.

I just don't like
the surrendering

of my opinions or
bank-account parts.

Plus, you believe in sex
without attachment, so...

Whoa. Wait, wait, wait.
Are you judging me?

Mr. Joy At All Costs...

who kissed me at
the first party.

No, I'm just saying...

having clear roles in a
relationship can be helpful.

Oh, what, so you're a trad
now, or is this just code

for you don't want me
sleeping with Tristan?

Abdomen is clear.

No signs of any
additional lesions.

Let's move on to the pelvis.
- Max.

You made the same
offer to Tristan.

Of course, you did.

And he said yes.
Of course, he did.

You said no. You can't
be upset with me if...

I'm not. Really. I'm not.

I-I want you to have
everything that you want.

Is this really all it is?
Just pleasure and that's it?

Do you have a problem with that?

No. I hope you do have fun.

Really. I mean that.

Max. There, at her bladder.

Looks like Penny's partnership
isn't as true as she says it is.

Actually, I'd
prefer to wait here

until Dr. Bankman
can talk to me.

He asked to speak
with your wife alone.

Well, we make all
decisions together.

It's a feminine issue,
and she might be

a little embarrassed to
discuss it in front of you.

At least the first time.

Alright. I will
check back later.

Can you make your own
way to the leisure deck?

I just remembered that I
have another appointment.

Utterly.

Did I live up to the fantasy?

- Unh-unh.
- Oh, come on.

Don't pretend that you
haven't thought about it.

I am very pleased to report
that having sex with you alone

is even better than imagining.

Well...

are there...

any other fantasies that
you want to act out?

Allow me to demonstrate.

Hey.

Where's Gabe?

He's upstairs on
the leisure deck

with the rest of your group.

So, earlier, you knew
that you weren't pregnant.

Because of your IUD.

Unfortunately, it's
perforated your uterus,

moved into your bladder, lodged
itself up against the wall,

and is now causing an infection.

I had no idea that could happen.

It's rare, but it is a risk.

Does Gabe know? About the IUD?

You know, he'll
never forgive me.

No, and I can't tell
him, or anybody else,

any of your private
medical information

without your permission.

In the beginning, I wanted a
whole football team of kids.

But managing the two
that we have now...

and the house and the land
and all of our animals...

You got a lot on your plate.

I... I love it so much.

I love being in service to Gabe,

raising the kids and
sharing it with others,

showing the joy that can
come from a life of bounty.

Is it bounty if it's
overwhelming you?

I want what I
have, Dr. Bankman.

I just don't want any more.

You're gonna have
to get the damage

to your uterus and bladder fixed

and have the IUD
and the infection

surgically removed
at our next port.

No. I... I-I can't.

How will I explain that to Gabe?

And all of the fans here?

If they find out...

...I could lose everything.

Excuse me. Dr. Bankman?
How's Penny?

What did the imaging show?

Unfortunately, the
lesion that we found

is causing her an infection.

It has to be removed right away.

Wait. S-She needs surgery.

Y-You think it's cancer?

No, no. It's not cancer. But
it is a serious infection.

It's causing her
abdominal pain, fever,

increased white
blood cell count.

I'm just on my way to talk
to the captain right now

to arrange transport to a hospital
when we get to the next port.

You're sure she needs
surgery in a foreign country?

Couldn't you just give
her some antibiotics

and buy us some time
to get back home?

I already put her
on I.V. antibiotics,

but the procedure can't wait.

Okay. I trust you, Doc.

Can I go see her now?

Eh, she's resting right now.

She'll want to see me.

Stop being so gorgeous, please.

Thank you. You're
embarrassing me.

You said you were a fan!

And if I wasn't one before...

I, um...

I took your advice.

And I had a great afternoon.

I'm so glad.

"To Avery. Keep
having amazing sex."

I had forgotten how
much fun sex could be.

The joy of getting out

of your head and just
letting your body

take control and
surrendering to the...

Mm-hmm.

Mona, is something... wrong?

Are you o-okay?

I can't have sex.

Come...

Okay. Um...

Uh, it...

My vagina is closed
for business.

Vaginismus. Nothing can go in.
It's too painful to even try.

And, um, I have libido.

I can have orgasms.

But penetrative sex is like...

And, um, it's been almost,
I don't know, two years.

I know. I'm a fraud.
Some sexpert. I know.

Oh, Mona.

Come to the infirmary.
Let me examine you.

Honey, I've been to everyone

on God's green earth about this.

Even your gynecologist?

No. Becau... The
exam would be agony.

This whole thing
is so embarrassing.

I would love to help.

And I promise you, I will
take such good care of you.

I should have come to you.
I just... I didn't know how.

Know what? To
tell me the truth?

How many times have we
talked about having...

That... That was the dream.

Yes, but dreams change, Gabe!

Mine don't. Mine don't.

And now this thing that
you've had implanted

is what's making you sick.

Just please let me explain.

No.

I'll just be on the outside.

Sorry if this is a bit cold.

You know, I've...
I've tried therapy.

Acupuncture. Dilators. Kegels.

I even went to the shaman,
who did a fertility dance

and cleansed my aura

by waving owl feathers
and burning incense.

I'm shocked that didn't work.

Yeah, my sister, my therapist,
my last couple partners.

They all... They think
it's anxiety, you know?

Essentially, I'm crazy.

You are not crazy.

Three out of four
women experience pain

during intercourse
in their lifetimes.

And you certainly don't
strike me as someone

who's anxious about having sex.

No. No. I love
sex. I always have.

You know, right up until the
"Do Not Disturb" sign went up.

Did something happen?

A trauma of any sort?

Nothing. No. I mean...

Just all of a sudden,
my relationships started

having a maximum
shelf life of a month.

Well, you do say on your podcast

that variety is the
spice of a good sex life.

That's better than
admitting that a month

is the longest most
men, even the good ones,

will put up with not
having "real sex."

Their words.

I'm so sorry.

Well, your ultrasound is clean.

There's no cysts, fibroids,
or lesions, and, um...

That's good news.

Sounds like no answer, no hope.

I still have hope, but I'd
like to take some blood

to screen for other
possible causes.

- Abdominal surgery.
- Yep.

This is supposed to be paradise.

Captain, what's going on?

W-We've been through the
literal eye of a storm together,

and I've never seen a chink
in the armor, but this week...

Max.

Mind your own business.

Prepare your patient
for transport.

Dismissed.

Aye, Captain.

Excuse me.

Could you please move
your... massagers

to a more discreet
area of the deck?

Some of our group
are complaining.

Well, the technical
term is "vibrators."

And I didn't realize
you all hated sex.

We like sex just fine.

We just don't feel
the need to broadcast

our pleasure to the world.

Too busy setting back
feminism two centuries

to get your groove on?

Excuse me. I've had
plenty... groove.

I just choose to have it with
one man instead of all of them.

Did she just call me
a slut as an insult?

Listen... Little
House on the Prairie.

Just because you've been
brainwashed by the patriarchy...

I am not!

Keep your listeria-tainted
fingers away from my lunch!

My fingers have been in a
shea-butter and green-tea soap.

God knows where yours have been!

I'll show you where
they're going.

You know what goes with pasta?

Shrimp!
- Aah!

You need some dessert,
too, Jezebel?!

Mnh!

Eat me, you Stepford Wives.

Tramp!

- Aah!
- Die alone, you nympho!

What is wrong with you people?

Don't you see that
none of this matters?

Time is fleeting.

You're just wasting it.

Arguing about what?!

Different points
of view about life?

Cut it out!

Find common ground!

And clean this mess up.

When I took your blood, I
also did a hormone panel.

And your estradiol levels
were very low. Only 23.

There's supposed
to be at least 30.

Mona, you are in
premature menopause.

Menopause? I'm 38 years old.

Premature menopause is rare.

It occurs in only 5%
of women under 40.

Oftentimes for no
discernible reason.

I need to do a pelvic
exam to confirm.

And I promise that
I will be gentle.

Okay.

So I'm gonna have
to ask you to...

Just lie down?

I'll start by examining
your pubic area.

Don't worry. My hands are warm.

I promise I will go very slow.

You just let me know
if it's too much.

Okay.

Ready?

I'm noticing some thinning
of the vaginal walls...

and some decreased
elasticity and dryness.

That, coupled with the
vaginismus equals...

menopause...

which is fully treatable.

How?

Estrogen tabs.

You insert them,

and the added estrogen

helps create more
lubrication and moisture.

You should see the
effects fairly quickly.

I can insert one if you'd like.

I should do it.

I feel like if I can
get this in there,

that means... something
else can get in, too.

Oh! Um, sorry.

I have to attend
to another patient.

You can go ahead
and get dressed.

Is it Penny? Is she okay?

Uh, I can't say.

Oh.

Is there anything
I can do to help?

Maybe send up a prayer.

- Avery.
- Yeah.

Thank you.

What's happening?

We were talking,
and she passed out.

BP's 60 over 41. Temp is 101.8.

Pulse is thready.
Breathing is labored.

Penny? Can you hear me?

This can't wait. We got to
get her intubated right now.

Get her prepped and draped
and ready for the procedure.

You lied to me?

I'm obligated to protect
your wife's privacy.

You're a doctor. I thought
you were an honest man.

Take a big step back, Gabe.

You expect me to trust
you with Penny's life

after you looked me
in the eyes and lied?

Your wife ordered me not
to tell you about her IUD,

which, based upon your
reaction, I can understand why.

Now, Penny is unconscious.

I need your consent to help her.

Tell me exactly what
you're gonna do to her.

I'm gonna go in
laparoscopically.

I'm gonna remove the IUD and
the surrounding infection.

Hopefully, the smaller
incisions will allow

for a quicker recovery time
and less complications.

What kind of complications?

Out with it, Doctor.

The possible complications
depend on what I find

when I get in there.

The perforation may
have created an opening

between her uterus
and her bladder.

Best case scenario, I can repair
the damage to both of the organs.

Worst case scenario, I
have to remove the uterus

so I can clear out the
surrounding infection.

So no more kids. Pe...

Penny, she could
change her mind.

Right now I think that your
focus should be on making sure

that the kids that you do
have don't lose their mom.

Whatever you need to do to...

to save her, go ahead.

When Penny told me
about the IUD, I...

We fought. And...

If this is the last
time I talk to her...

She's in good hands.

Pervasive adhesions
between the posterior

abdominal wall and the uterus.

Must be where the IUD broke
through the uterine wall.

That's an awful lot of
adherent tissue and phlegmon.

You think she needs
a hysterectomy?

Won't know for sure until we do
a thorough lysis of the adhesions

and check the damage
to both the organs.

Take that.

I need a harmonic
scalpel on the bleeder.

Go.

She's lost a fair
amount of blood.

Check her hematocrit.

Get two units of
PRBC's on a cooler.

On it.

Uh, how's Penny doing?

- Uh, so far, so good.
- That's great news.

What are you even doing here?

Avery suggested I
send up a prayer.

Figured a few extras
couldn't hurt.

The workshop seemed
pretty pointless

after we heard Penny was sick.

We can donate blood,
if that helps.

We're fine for now.
That's very kind, though.

You can thank the Captain.

He reminded us we're
not that different.

Amen to that.

Okay. Shove over.

Why don't you tell me about
this shea-butter hand soak.

Yeah? Is that what it's called?
- Really?

- Yeah.
- Okay. Feel it.

It's so soft, right?
- Okay. That's nice.

Gabe.

Everything's good.

I was able to remove the
IUD and the infected tissue.

The bladder and the
uterus look fine.

She's gonna be fine.

I think you and Penny
have a lot to talk about.

Thank you.

Thank you.

She's gonna be okay.

Thank God!

Hey. Nice work in there.

Thank you. You too.

Do you still need me?

Because if not, we
were gonna head out.

"We"?

As in you and Tristan?

I can stay.

If that's what you want.

No. I'm good. Thank you.

Okay.

Guess I'll... see you later?

So, how is it going
with your two men?

Well, just one man, actually.

Is the other one not
interested or just insane?

With Tristan, it's...

light and... and happy and fun.

- Mm-hmm.
- And with Max...

it is so... challenging.

Which is exactly the kind
of thing I vowed to avoid

one month leading up to
going to medical school.

Then avoid it and keep
enjoying the unabashed,

unadulterated, unencumbered
sex you deserve.

- Please.
- Hear, hear.

- Oh. Don't look now.
- Hm?

But there's a guy over there,

and he is totally
checking you out.

- Hm.
- Mnh-mnh. Yeah. Mnh-mnh.

Yeah. He's hot. You
should go talk to him.

I'm not... I'm not ready.

You are so ready.
You look beautiful.

Your hair is stunning.
That skirt is killing it.

I just got it on sale.
Okay? It's got a...

Okay. Don't deflect!
Don't deflect.

You deserve to have

uncomplicated, unabashed
pleasure of your own.

Okay. What the hell? Okay.

Wish me luck.
- Ohh.

Hi.

Hey, Max. Thanks for coming.

Uh, I kind of feel like
I owe you an explanation

for all the extreme
grouchiness earlier.

What's going on, Captain?

Well, right before we embarked,

I got a call from Heather,

and she told me that...

she lost the baby.

Oh, my God.

I... Yeah. I told her I wanted
to come and be with her.

And... she doesn't want that.

I'm so sorry, Cap.

I mean, I have called her

I don't know how many times
over the last few days,

and it just goes
straight to voicemail.

God. Heather and this whole
thing, it just kind of...

It got me thinking
about the future and...

life after the Odyssey.

Family. Love.

But you just can't
make someone else

want the things that you want.

Hm...

So I've taken the
next-best course...

accept and surrender.

You know what? We'll
meet up there. Okay.

Avery, now I have to thank you.

I just had my first

blazing vaginal
orgasm in two years!

On the Odyssey,
we aim to please.

Thank you so much.

I mean, usually I'm the one

that's being thanked for
rescuing someone's sex life.

This whole experience
has given me, like,

a new perspective on my work.

There is life, there is
sex after menopause? What?

Sounds like your next book.

You're a genius.
And I love you.

- Give me a minute.
- Okay.

Just want to say thank
you again for everything.

You're most welcome.

And, as requested...

Ah. That's another thing
I need to thank you for.

Penny and I had a
long talk last night,

and I told her I don't
want her to feel the need

to hide anything
from me ever again.

I appreciate how
you stood up to me.

That's great.

How are you feeling about
the new family plan?

We agreed to revisit the
topic of kids once a year

on the anniversary
of this cruise.

Probably try to change her mind,

but I will take
no for an answer.

I love our life
right now. I'm happy.

She should be happy, too.

Congratulations.

And I don't want to
freak you out, but...

That sounds a little feminist.

How you holding up?

Still sore. But grateful.

Strangely, I can
completely relate.

Bye.

Looks like you got
a lot on your mind.

Yeah. Been a crazy week.

Hm.

I honestly thought

that this arrangement
would be fun for all of us.

I guess I'm a little more
trad than I care to admit.

I'm literally
offering you my body,

and you are pushing
me away. What's wrong?

Are you not attracted to me anymore or...
- Avery.

Why can't we just enjoy ourselves for the
little time that we have left together?

You mean, why can't I
be more like Tristan?

That is not what I'm saying.

Do you have any idea how
hard this has been for me?

How much I would like nothing more
than to jump into bed with you,

hole up in your cabin,

order room service for
the next four weeks.

But if I did that and then
I had to say goodbye to you,

it would break my heart.

Max.

Avery.

I love you.

I love you.
