Dan.

What are you doing here?

I should ask you the same thing.

School's been out a month.

Trying to get next year's Bolognese

recipe as good as mom's.

It's summer, Katie.

You should be out of the classroom.

Yes, I know, but I love it here.

Creating perfectly prepared recipes

and then watching students get delectable results

is.

Besides, first day of school comes fast.

It's like Dad says, fail to plan then...

Then plan to fail.

Exactly.

Here.

Try.

It's not even the spicy one.

Hard to believe we share the same DNA.

50% with fraternal twins.

I know.

You got the 50% that likes hot sauce.

You're the cool twin.

He says to the teacher that is still at school on summer break.

Which is why I'm here to free you from this and take you to...

Get a new phone?

No, this model hasn't even come out yet.

But look at the picture.

Peru?

Peru.

No, no, I can't do that.

Yes, you can.

No, no.

For me?

Dan, I'm not going.

6 pounds at birth.

Huh.

5 pounds.

You owe me for life.

You're using that again?

Yep.

What is this really about?

You're making that face.

Nope.

My twin tuition is tingling.

Mine isn't.

Why did Grandma say that you called her last week?

Come on.

I want you to meet Luciana's family.

It's gonna be a special trip.

Third wheeling.

Great.

You won't be the third wheel, I promise.

We're gonna be 30 this year.

Thank you for the reminder, but I already have

the rest of my 20s planned out.

You know, they say a truly great teacher needs

to go out and learn in order to bring something back

to impart on their students.

Peru is an amazing culinary melting pot.

Let's get out of Michigan and see the world.

Did you say culinary melting pot?

Ugh, I don't know.

I don't speak Spanish.

You do.

Who better to convince Luci's family

I'm the greatest guy in the world than my big sister.

I am bigger by eight minutes.

Oh, please, Katie, I need you.

Please.

I will go to Peru with you.

Yes!

Peru, here we come.

Peru.

What is that?

I'm beta testing it for work.

OK.

Geolocation tracking with pop up points of interest.

So a map?

Uh, comes with a 4k 360 telepresence camera

and real-time projection.

I may speak Spanish.

You are fluent in geek.

There she is.

Mi amor!

Oh, I've missed you.

I miss you, too.

It's been too long.

It's been a week.

Oh, hi, Katie.

I'm so happy you are here too.

I can't wait to show you both my hometown, my family.

Oh.

All right.

I'll let you do that.

I'm gonna check out the plaza. - OK.

Uh, let's go.

Wait, the bags.

The bags.

The bags.

I'm so excited.

Me too.

How cute.

Name Caramel.

Caramel.

Hola, Caramel.

Katie.

Hey!

There you are.

I want you to meet my Chef Carlos.

Hola, I'm Dan's twin.

Twin.

In culinary school, Carlos was like the brother I never had.

After we stopped battling over whether Peru or Mexico

had better food.

It's still an ongoing battle.

We'll have to check out his restaurant

opening in a few months.

It's actually close to where we live in Michigan.

And I still need a sous chef, so if you're up for it,

I'd love to have you on board.

Yeah, couldn't recommend her more highly.

Yeah, Luci's given me so many hit recipes, I can see why.

Peruvian cuisine is unbelievable.

May I?

Uh, yeah.

Just...

We couldn't have better timing.

Carlos just made friends with an archaeologist.

Carlos makes friends everywhere.

And you won't believe this, but

he just invited me and my guests to a behind the scenes

day Machu Picchu.

Ooh, we already have that planned, right, Dan?

Yes, I already have tickets for Thursday,

and they were not easy to get either.

Oh, but it's a backstage tour today for the ancient castle

in the sky.

I know you both don't like breaking up plans,

but this could be a magical start to our trip.

Tickets sell out months in advance.

You need passport numbers, timed circuit slots.

Oh, don't worry about that.

It's all covered.

But we have to hurry because the train leaves soon.

What do you think, mi amor?

Please.

Whatever you want, Luci.

Machu Picchu, here we come.

The house is close, so we can go and drop off their luggage

- and then meet at the station? - Mm-hmm.

- OK? - Perfect.

Let's go.

Ready for an adventure?

Hey.

Hey.

It was you on the other side of that break, wasn't it?

It was.

You know, there's a theory about the magic of Machu Picchu.

What's that?

Just like the site stayed hidden for centuries,

every visit reveals a hidden secret.

They say that connections made in Machu Picchu benefit

from the same enduring dedication that helped build it.

Sounds like a fairy tale.

Luci and Carlos are back there regaling

old cooking school stories.

He seems OK, I guess.

Oh, please.

He's better than OK. He's like pizza.

Everyone likes him.

I really like him.

Told you, you wouldn't be a third wheel.

Is this a setup? What?

No. No.

You said Luciana's family.

Yeah, he's basically her brother.

Wha...

Relax, Katie.

It is a setup, but not for you and Carlos.

You're gonna propose.

I knew it.

My intuition is never wrong.

I was going to propose on Thursday

after asking her father.

But now I guess I'll just have to wait.

Well, but there won't be another Machu Picchu.

Tell me about it.

Dan, you have to.

Katie, I can't.

I haven't even met Luciana's family yet.

Tyler didn't ask for dad's permission

before proposing to me.

Yeah, I'm not trying to be like Tyler.

His whole movie theater proposal didn't exactly scream,

I put a lot of thought into this.

That's fair.

But not me.

I've been planning this for a long time now.

I wanted my 360 camera to capture the moment so she could

show her family, an intimate setting with panoramic views

of the sunset.

I had it all planned.

Hmm.

Changing plans, not exactly our strong suit,

but we can still do all that.

Luci always talks about an American wedding

but wants a Peruvian engagement party.

I even booked an Andean restaurant

for the end of our trip. - So we party tonight.

I wanted it to be a surprise for everyone.

And now the moment I spent months planning has officially

been hijacked by someone who looks

and smells like a cologne ad.

Carlos does smell good.

Oh.

The air's thinner up here, right?

Hey, hey, relax.

We're different, but we're the same

when it comes to having plans and wanting to stick to them.

This can still be perfect.

We just have to push it forward.

You found your soulmate.

Just tell me what you need me to do,

and I will make your Machu Picchu proposal happen.

Really?

OK, let's do this.

OK.

Oh, and I'll show you how to use the camera.

Guys, did you know that these buildings

were built without any mortar?

The granite was cut and fit perfectly.

They were made for each other.

Sounds familiar.

I've been coming here all my life, and it never gets old.

Yeah, I know.

Beautiful.

When did they discover it?

Depends on what you consider discovering.

Mm-hmm.

It was a known secret in Peru.

But when the archaeologists came looking for gold,

just the whole world found out.

- Did they find any? - Gold?

- Yeah. - No.

No, but what they found is priceless.

Hmm.

So, Tyler couldn't come with you to Peru?

No, that ended a few months ago.

I really liked Tyler.

Turns out a few others really like Tyler, too.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Your brother never keeps me in the loop.

I always wondered why it was so hard for him to plan anything

but when you're doing it for multiple relationships

at the same time.

Well, he's a fool.

Hmm.

You just need to find your person.

- Hey. - Hey.

Tour starts in 20 at the Inca Trail.

Hopefully, I'll acclimate by then.

Are you OK?

I'm fine.

He'll be fine.

Mm, yeah.

There's this energy up here.

Can you feel it?

Thought it might just be the altitude sickness.

Feeling queasy, honey?

No.

You look kind of pale.

Yeah, we're pretty high up.

Almost 8,000 feet.

I'm good.

I'm good.

OK.

Let's find you some coca tea.

It helps with altitude sickness.

Let's go.

What about that photo you wanted?

I'm fine, really.

But the plan.

He'll be fine.

Tea will fix him.

Let's, um, sneak away and see what kind of secrets

get revealed.

I don't want to be late for the tour.

It's just a quick peek.

Who knows what magic we'll uncover.

Something up there is calling me.

Do you have altitude sickness?

I can't help it.

I just... I don't like messing with an itinerary.

Come on.

Live a little.

Wait.

Hey!

Live a little.

Cool.

The Temple of the Condor.

Yeah, it represents the connection between Pachamama...

Mother Earth.

And the heavens.

You see it, right?

Those rocks laid out like outstretched wings.

That's the condor.

It's your first time in Peru?

Yeah, yeah, but it's been on the list for forever.

Hmm.

Yeah, I went straight from college to teaching,

so I've mostly just seen a bunch of schools in Michigan.

Oh, that's not too far from Chicago.

Yeah.

- What do you teach? - Um...

Wait, let me guess, chemistry?

No, no.

Home economics.

Sewing, cooking.

Practical stuff.

Ah, you're gonna love Peru.

The traditional modern cuisine.

It's all fabulous.

Well, it's nice to know I'm not

the only one here for the food.

Yes, yes, the food.

Always the food.

I'm trying to taste everything I haven't

tried, because once my restaurant opens,

I won't be leaving Chicago.

Oh, sure, but you still must get to eat

at some incredible restaurants.

I do, but you know, I'd rather travel

to marketplaces all over the world,

see what dishes speak to me.

Kind of like which cuisine you're

most cosmically connected to?

Yeah, that's it.

You taste it, and you know it.

May I borrow your hands?

Yes.

Let us manifest that something special we came to Peru for.

Oh.

OK.

Queso on three.

1, 2, 3, queso!

Cheese.

Are you sure you're up for this?

No, but another Machu Picchu trip would be a giveaway.

This is my only chance that I have to make it a surprise.

Well, don't pass out when you get down on one knee.

Thanks.

OK, everything's in there.

It's simple.

When you take out the camera, just try to be discreet.

Yeah, I got this.

Yeah, OK.

Do you got this?

Yeah.

Do I have any coco leaves in my teeth?

You're fine. Bag, now, look.

Good luck.

OK.

Hey.

Look.

Simple.

Can I help you?

OK.

Step one.

Turn it on.

OK.

Step two.

Step two.

Fire up camera.

It's not working.

I don't know.

Oh, OK, OK.

Go, go, go, go, go.

Ah, aha.

Oh, oh, he's down on one knee.

Oh wait.

Oh.

Oh, can see.

She said yes.

Yes!

Oh!

Wow.

Oh!

Sorry.

Oh.

What?

No, no, no, no.

Yes.

All right, all right.

Show the ring.

Machu Picchu.

You don't need to be nervous.

Of course not.

I'm just walking into a room filled with strangers

who are gonna be talking about me in a language I

don't even speak.

I'm here to translate, even the insults.

Hey, stop.

Twin talk time.

Your instinct was right about not proposing today.

I should have listened.

Now you get to meet Luciana's family first.

They are gonna love you.

They're going to think I'm a total dork.

Dan, this twin talk time is a sacred circle of truth.

You're the best person I know because of your devotion

to the things that you love.

Microprocessors, 4k cameras, but especially Luciana.

Her family is gonna see that and love you because of it.

Thanks.

Katie.

Dan.

The guests of honor have arrived.

Hola, Katie.

You look great.

I mean, both of you.

Uh, Dan, they are gonna love you.

I've been telling them all about you.

Oh, good.

The crowd's already warmed up.

Let's go.

Mi amor.

You look better.

Are you feeling better?

Yes, I feel wonderful.

Great.

Hi, Katie.

Familia, this is Daniel.

Daniel, meet familia.

Hola.

This is my mom, Maria.

That means handsome.

Ah.

These are my sisters.

Camila.

Oh.

Tina.

Sofia.

Yeah, Dan doesn't like to be touched.

Oh, oh, that's a problem.

Peruvians love to hug so get used to it.

OK.

My cousins, Diego.

Veronica.

Is my uncle Julio.

And...

Oh, uh, you must be Luci's proud papa, Cesar.

Yeah.

Oh, right.

Nice to meet you, sir.

He likes him.

Don't worry.

So, Maria, tell me more about Luciana.

Oh, she's my youngest.

But with five daughters, you can't pick a favorite.

Of course not.

So what are some of her favorite things?

Well, she loves anything pink.

Oh, yeah.

She watches all movies.

And she learned how to dance before she could walk.

Huh.

And of course, she loves...

Pisco sour and fries.

Those.

Carlos.

Gracias.

Oh.

Mm-hmm.

There is nothing more Peruvian than a potato.

I believe they call these French fries, mi amor.

Uh-huh.

Oh, yeah. Pronto.

Yeah.

Hermana.

That means sister.

Yeah.

Guess what?

I'm gonna propose.

Now?

Oh, everyone's having such a good time.

It's gonna be such a memorable night.

I don't think that's a good idea.

I know, but sometimes it feels good to be bad.

Dan, the altitude is playing tricks on you.

Cusco is higher than Machu Picchu.

No, shh, shh, shh, shh, it's perfect.

Her whole family's in there.

You said you wanted something intimate.

And I know her dad's going to come around once he hears

the proposal speech I planned.

Cesar?

I think he seems like a tough cookie.

Oh, wait, I forgot it.

I... It had something to do with apples.

You are the apple of my eye.

No, wait.

The apple doesn't fall far...

no, uh... wait.

- Ah. - I got it.

Uh, can you get the whole thing on camera?

Yeah, yeah, I just need some fresh air first.

Don't take too long, OK?

You and the ring are the only thing

that's stopping this proposal from finally happening.

I'm right behind you, bro.

Give me some skin.

Yeah.

He'll thank me later.

Suits you...

Ah.

You think so?

Definitely.

May I?

Oh.

There we go.

There.

You should try these.

And?

Good.

Corn nuts are our local specialty back home, too.

Sure.

I didn't, um... I didn't get a chance to say goodbye to you

last night.

Jet lag.

I really did enjoy dancing with you.

Yeah, I think you enjoyed dancing with everyone.

Anyways, I'm glad I ran into you.

Gives me a chance to say goodbye.

I'm off to Huacachina in about an hour.

There's this chef who's famous for the local dish

Sounds delicious.

Well, you should come.

I mean, come try it.

Huacachina is one of the most remarkable towns in Peru.

I don't know, maybe you could learn a recipe or

two, take back to your class.

Yeah, I don't know if that's a good idea.

I'm here with my brother and Luciana.

Yeah, no, no, of course.

I... I hope you have a great time.

I really did enjoy meeting you, Katie.

You, too.

I mean, me too.

I get it.

Good luck with your restaurant.

Thanks.

Ciao.

Drink this.

It'll make you feel better.

What is this?

Fish juice?

It's tiger milk.

Luciana wants you to have it.

It's basically ceviche juice.

You've got an amazing girlfriend.

You know that, right?

She deserves the most wonderful proposal in history.

Something brave, something bold.

The ring.

You have the ring?

I lost it, but you have the ring.

Thank you!

Thank you!

Not some haphazard, informal movie theater proposal.

Doesn't matter that the leather seats recline.

No one wants to get engaged at a matinee.

We're gonna plan something incredible for Luciana.

We've just got to come up with the most

amazing, dreamy, unforgettable proposal of all time.

I had the most amazing, dreamy, unforgettable proposal

of all time plan for Machu Picchu.

Yeah, I know, but now we got to come up with a new plan.

We just have to find a venue that

is as romantic as an ancient lost city at sunset.

That I need to see to believe.

Well, then, let's go.

Come on.

You've only looked at places on your computer.

Maria told me some of her favorite things.

We can find the perfect proposal place in real life.

I can't leave Cusco right now.

I have to put in a lot more face time with Cesar

and hope that he forgets that I tried to do the worm last night.

You did the worm?

Even worse, tried.

Mm.

But you should go and hatch me a new proposal plan

and report back.

Well, I don't want to go by myself.

Ask Carlos.

No, no.

Carlos is off to Huacachina to do his food thing.

You love food.

And Huacachina is like a cool little desert oasis.

It looks super romantic.

You said this wasn't a setup.

As in, it could be the perfect proposal place.

I just don't have time to go look myself.

Look, we don't have much time to make this engagement happen.

And I really want to make it happen here in Peru.

Please.

I think he's leaving soon.

That's fine.

You haven't even unpacked.

I want you to be my eyes and ears out there, OK?

I will find you options and send back photos.

Perfecto.

Carlos!

Carlos.

Hi.

Katie, hi.

That's a cool truck.

You taking it on the road? - I am.

Yeah.

Listen, I was thinking about what you said.

Maybe I could take a day trip to find

some new recipes for my class.

Uh-huh.

OK.

Mm.

After you.

Oh.

You good?

Oh, by the way, change of plans.

We're not gonna go to Huacachina.

We're gonna go to Pisac instead. - Uh...

I met this shaman who said that Pisac is

the spiritual center of Peru.

Something inside me said we had to go, and I had to listen.

Huh.

Yeah, I usually try not to listen to the voices.

It doesn't matter.

I was really just tagging along to try the dish.

Anyway.

The... the guinea pig?

You want to go just to guinea pig?

Yes.

I mean, they have guinea pig in Pisac.

Oh.

Plus it's beautiful.

Very picturesque.

Lots of sights to see.

OK, OK, but I want to stop and take pictures.

All right, perfecto.

So many beautiful colors.

Did you know that Peru is considered to be

the birthplace of the rainbow?

How could they know that?

Rainbows are a series of refractions and reflections

that have been happening forever.

OK, teach.

Where to next?

We should split up.

We can cover more ground.

And I don't want to slow you down.

I'll hit the streets, and you can take the market?

It's a good plan, I guess.

We'll both pick something tasty to try,

and we'll meet up at the ruins.

Yes, chef.

Hmm.

Ooh.

Hey, sis.

Hmm, hey.

Uh, not to rush, but I'm in the middle of a grilling

with Luci's sisters.

Nice, what are they grilling?

They're grilling me, but luckily, I

already have a sister, so I got all the right answers.

Yeah, you do.

And she has found the spot.

Rainbow Mountain.

It's a few hours from Cusco and then a three hour hike up.

Sounds far.

Time's is tight.

Yeah, which is why you and Luciana need to meet me there.

I don't need to scout it ahead of time.

I know there is no better place to propose.

Peru is also the birthplace of the rainbow.

How is that even possible to know?

It's a series of reflections and refractions.

Yeah, I know, but it's still the perfect plan.

OK, so I'm in Cusco, and you're in Huacachina.

So how is this gonna work?

Actually, I'm in Pisac.

Carlos changes his mind faster than the weather here.

I could try and catch a local bus tomorrow.

No, that'll take a whole day. We don't have time like that.

Just ask Carlos to come along, and he could drive you.

I can't guarantee I won't end up in Uruguay on some kind

of mystic mission instead.

Well, just try to keep him reined in, OK.

I'll get Luci to text you.

Oh, I gotta go.

I'm being summoned.

See you soon.

OK, bye.

Hmm.

Katie.

Yeah.

Hey.

I thought that was you.

You look like you're having fun.

I just tasted the most amazing thing,

and I had to know how it was made.

OK.

Come, they're about to show me.

Oh, um...

OK, so this wonderful couple, Pablo and Claudia.

They are stewards of this remarkable 200-year-old oven.

And they're about to teach us how to make EMPANADAS.

Empanadas?

Have you done this before?

Kind of like a pierogi.

In the oven you go.

In the oven you go.

Mm.

Delicioso.

Delicioso, yeah.

Mm.

Mm.

That's spicy.

Spicier, the better.

Mm, my turn.

OK, what do you got?

Kiwicha.

Traditional, high in protein.

You can fry it, bake it, pop it.

Kind of like oatmeal's more boring cousin.

I love rolled oats.

OK.

I was thinking, you're kind of on, like, this cuisine quest.

Oh, I like that.

And it definitely can't end with oatmeal.

It can't?

No.

There is such a variety of terrain

in Peru, so many microclimates with different crops,

like, say, Rainbow Mountain.

I've heard of that place.

I don't think much food grows up there.

The high altitude, yes, but could be fresh yuca or maca.

It's a bit of a trek.

We'd leave first thing in the morning.

It's a long way to go...

Yeah.

In the middle of nowhere for maybe nothing.

Come on, Carlos.

You never know unless you try.

You want to go on a road trip in Peru with me?

And Dan and Luci.

So "spur of the moment" of you.

Carlos, live a little.

OK.

For my cuisine quest.

For your cuisine quest.

This is what it's all about.

Empanadas?

No.

Sharing a meal.

Ah.

Because the end of the day, we're

not going to remember the food we ate, but who we ate it with.

That's true.

I can see why they call it the Sacred Valley.

It certainly is special.

Mm.

I don't see a rainbow, and this is not a mountain.

It's the coordinates Luci gave me.

This isn't part of the plan.

It's about the journey, not the destination.

Mm.

Are those alpacas?

Hola, amigos!

Hey, hey, hey.

Pretty packed schedule if we want to make

it up Rainbow Mountain today.

Pit stops aren't exactly accounted for in my timetable.

Oh, it's just a quick one, I promise.

I grew up with Flores, and I haven't seen her since she

started this alpaca farm.

No problemo.

He reminds me of Chef Eric in second year.

Oh, yeah, when he caught me saying he chew like an alpaca,

and you convinced him it was a compliment.

What are you thinking?

I'm thinking if I make a big deal

about getting to Rainbow Mountain by sunset,

she's going to know what's up.

Maybe I should just tell Carlos my plan, and he can help.

He's too unpredictable.

You never know what he might say or do

that could ruin the surprise.

You're probably right.

Let's just stick to the plan.

OK.

Katie, Flores has Indian weavers on site.

We should go take a look and see what they're making.

I'm not sure how much time we have for shopping.

Not for shopping, for teaching.

Carlos told me that you want some ideas

to bring back to your class.

Right!

Yeah, yeah.

This is an incredible place you have, Flores.

Thank you.

There was something about this land.

Whoa!

I couldn't explain it, but I could feel it.

We're going to quickly check out the textiles.

Yeah, all the colors of the rainbow.

Hey, did you know that Peru considers itself

the birthplace of the rainbow?

You don't say.

Yeah, yeah, Katie told me.

Oh.

Carlos wants to meet the farmers,

so we will link back up in a few.

Great.

Then we need to hit the road.

Come on, come.

Hola.

Hola.

Alpaca wool's perfect for clothing

here because it's soft and durable.

Check out how vivid they are in the new photo app.

Ah.

The red and pink ones come from cochineal bugs.

I knew

Wow.

Muchas gracias.

It's beautiful.

Oh, it's OK.

OK.

Ah.

Gracias.

Mm, strapping me in there.

Oh.

Oh, wow.

What do you think?

I think it will look great in a photo

on top of Rainbow Mountain.

Which it will.

It's gonna be beautiful.

OK. I got this figured out.

You got the ring?

Oh, yeah.

It's happening.

Yeah.

What's wrong with your neck?

My neck?

Nothing.

Hey!

Carlos is talking with our head farmer.

Mm.

Yeah.

Better be careful or he'll be moving in soon.

Having a full-time chef is OK with me.

Hmm.

Hmm.

I think you're allergic to your new poncho.

Really?

No.

Maybe it's just the dry weather.

Or maybe it's the alpaca wool.

Dan, you're as red as one of those bugs.

And now you're making me itchy. Ugh!

Twin transference. - It's fine!

It's fine.

I'm just gonna keep my arms hidden under the cape.

I want to wear this for the propo...

Hey!

You have to try this...

fresh alpaca milk.

It tastes a little...

a little fibrous.

Hmm?

Thank you, but I can't do a lot of dairy.

Even I haven't tried alpaca milk.

You're so brave, Carlos.

Dan.

Uh, sure.

I'll give it a go.

No... ah...

- Oh, maybe not the... - Mm.

You're just gonna have the whole thing?

OK.

Oh, Dan.

Dan.

Ugh.

Yum.

- Oh. - Mm.

Buddy, you got the nutrients to conquer any mountain now.

Oh.

Muchas gracias, Flores.

I'm so happy we got to see you.

Con gusto, hmm?

And I finally got to meet Dan.

He's as wonderful as you said.

Aw.

And you too, Katie.

Oh, thank you.

And thank you for the textiles designs.

My class is gonna be warm and stylish.

The Peruvian way.

Oh.

Ah.

Uh-oh.

Milk was a bad choice.

Yeah.

It's, uh, probably best for your brother

to stay here the night.

Oh, yeah, yeah.

The wool allergy is new, but he should have

known better about the dairy.

His rash will settle, and so will his stomach.

By the morning, you think?

We could wake up early and do a sunrise hike?

Let's hope.

I always wanted to go up Rainbow Mountain.

So Flores has two guest rooms made for each of you.

Buenas noches, Luci.

Buenas noches.

Gracias, Luci.

Is it just me, or does the Earth seem bigger down here?

It definitely has a vastness.

I bet the stars are bright way out here, far from the city.

A whole new batch of them, too... you know, Southern Hemisphere.

Maybe later, we could come out here when it gets dark and...

Uh... um...

I might tuck into that guest room early.

Sounds nice.

Yeah.

We'll be back before noon.

Ah, I've added a couple of stops,

so we might be a little bit later than that.

Great.

Oh, Dan, I wish you could hike with us.

Me, too, Luci.

Just better for me to stay close to facilities right now.

I don't want you missing out on Rainbow Mountain because of me.

- Mm. - Katie, are you not coming?

No, I'm gonna stick with Dan.

You guys have a blast, though.

Are you sure, Dan?

Yes.

Take lots of pictures.

OK.

We're running out of time.

Being separated from Luci

makes me feel like just being with her

is the most important thing.

Maybe I don't have to do a big proposal.

Dan, you are always selling yourself short

and playing it safe.

But a proposal requires risk.

This is your chance to show how much Luciana means to you

by going over the top for her.

How do we do that now?

We start by getting rid of Carlos.

Easy there, Tony.

We're planning an engagement, not a funeral.

Uh, Machu Picchu, Huacachina, the alpaca milk?

He is a liability.

He has foiled every proposal plot we've come up with.

Why don't you take him away to Lake Titicaca?

And Luci and I will go the opposite direction.

No, I'm not going off with him alone.

Why not?

He's only a gorgeous chef with captivating

eyes and a soulful spirit.

Oh, wait.

That's not gonna work.

Luci thinks we're on a road trip altogether.

How are we gonna ditch Carlos without her thinking something's

weird?

What are you eating?

It's some kind of Peruvian corn nut.

Cancha salada.

Yeah!

That's it!

The corn nut?

If we can't beat him, we join him.

Carlos is traveling and trying local foods, right?

Right.

We just need to find a place that is beautiful enough

to propose, but also offers some kind of culinary distraction

for Carlos.

Make them think it's all about Carlos's ingredients

could be a good cover.

Exactly.

Mm, but it's got to be romantic, though.

I'm not proposing over a bowl of soup.

I found it.

Chocolate?

No, look at that place!

I could see myself proposing there.

But will Carlos fall for it?

He will love the sudden change of plans.

And if I have to, I'll tell him that chocolate

is sacred or something.

It's so beautiful, it will make Luciana forget

all about Rainbow Mountain.

That was the best day of my life.

I wish you were there, Dan.

Day's not over yet.

It was incredible.

I have never seen a view like that before,

and I probably will never again.

Ha, well...

Don't count out cacao class.

Oh, that's what we're doing here.

And we wanna help you, Carlos, take your cuisine

quest to the next level.

Some ingredient that will make your opening buzz.

And everyone will have to come to your restaurant

if they want to try it.

I just...

I...

I mean, I can't.

You guys are so great. - Aw.

So we're doing everything

from me, just my cuisine quest?

Yeah, I've designed our excursions

around you discovering a secret Peruvian superfood.

What an unexpected surprise.

Yeah, this class is going to take us from bean...

To bar.

You coming?

Yeah, um, that's just so thoughtful of you, Katie.

Don't mention it.

But, um, chocolate isn't exactly a secret ingredient.

You're right.

It's not about the chocolate itself, though, but

the spiritual connection with it.

Really?

Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.

It's used in ceremonies.

Get ready to tune in with those higher powers.

Oh!

Who knew chocolate-making would be so exhausting?

Oh!

There's actually a trick to opening these.

Yeah?

Let me show you, Dan.

All right, so make some leverage.

Well done, Chef Carlos.

Oh, you got it, too.

- May I? - No, I got... no.

Thank you.

Yeah, no problem.

This doesn't look like chocolate.

It doesn't taste like it either.

Try it.

- Ah! - Oh.

Uh, yeah.

That works.

Mm.

Told you I could do it.

It tastes more like lychee or mango.

It does.

That's actually the fleshy fruit around the cocoa bean.

May I? - Mm-hmm.

Chilies.

The cocoa bean.

Mm, mm-hmm.

Do you have the ring?

Ah!

Carlos!

It's OK, it's OK.

It's here, it's here, it's here, it's here.

Let me help.

That looks heavy.

Why don't you both go take a walk?

I think I saw some macaws in the trees.

- Macaws? - Yeah.

Really.

I love macaws.

We'll be right back.

Come here, amor.

Looks like there's still a lot of work to do.

Let me help you.

OK.

Last one.

Last little bit.

Ah.

All right, let it settle.

OK, now we have to let them cool before we eat them.

- Oh. - OK.

- Oh, well... - This way!

- No. - To the fridge!

Let me help you.

Watching chocolate dry is almost as painful as paint.

I just want to make sure I'm ready when they are.

Mm-hmm.

You that hungry?

Oh, yeah.

Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.

It's gonna be at least two hours.

I'm gonna go for a walk if you want to come.

No, thank you.

Is there a reason why you're still in here?

No.

Let's walk.

OK.

So does school start in a month?

Yeah.

Yeah, I'm just here till the end of the week,

but I already feel like I'm behind on preparations.

You and Dan sure love your plans.

Oh, yes.

Yes.

Meal plans, travel plans, business plans, all the plans.

Mm, that's why I'm a cook and not a baker.

With baking, you have to have precise measurements.

With cooking, you can just improvise.

Oh.

Did you always know you wanted to be a chef?

Yeah.

I mean, I did have a crisis of confidence in culinary school.

I almost moved back to Mexico City, but Luciana held me down.

What happened?

She took care of me like family.

So I kind of just adopted her as my sister.

She's very special.

She is.

She cares a lot about other people, kind of like you.

Like me?

Yeah, I mean, look at all

the effort you're putting into discovering

new recipes for your class.

Oh.

And my super-secret superfood cuisine quest, all for me?

Someone you just met?

At first I wasn't sure, but now I...

I don't want this to end.

Me neither.

I, um...

I got you something.

What?

It was in Pisac.

It's... it's nothing, really.

Carlos.

It's a handmade poncho.

Oh, it's beautiful!

The blue kind of reminded me of you.

That is so thoughtful.

It'll come in handy once the temperature drops

and we go deeper into the valley.

Right.

Speaking of which, where are we going next?

That salt we used, you said it was Peruvian?

Yeah, I believe it's from Maras salt mines.

Yes.

Salt mines.

Oh, this looks amazing.

That's where we're going next.

What's with the poncho?

Cold and Carlos bought it for me.

Aw.

That's sweet of him.

Come on.

This could be your Eat, Pray, Love.

We already have the eating part down.

Will you stay focused?

We get the chocolate, we get to Salt Mountain,

and you get engaged.

What?

I can't tell.

You don't know which ones are ours?

I do. I mean, I did.

But now there's no system here.

Katie, which one has the ring in it?

I don't know!

I can't tell which bars are ours!

Does it matter?

They're all pretty much the same.

No, they're not the same.

One of them has the...

Need to find ours, the ones we made.

We have to take what we poured.

Settle down.

Y'all really don't like to go with the flow, huh?

OK, well, there's only one way to guarantee

we take the right ones.

Take this!

You took all the chocolate bars?

It was Carlos's idea.

Oh, thank God.

Ah, I got you.

I got you.

Oh. - Wait.

Oh.

Ah, it's one more latch.

OK.

Thank you.

This hotel has the highest rating in the Valley,

and it has a pool.

It's perfect.

I love traveling with you guys.

You always know the best places to go.

Perks of dating a planner.

Why don't we take it easy tonight

and head to the Mara salt mines tomorrow?

Great.

Hmm.

Take it easy or party all night?

Oh, we haven't done that since school.

Yeah, all-nighters you spent dancing instead of studying?

Another life.

Eh, eh, eh.

Maybe one more night?

No.

Let's do it.

Let's dance like no one's watching.

What are you talking about?

The only dance you know is the Macarena.

I love the Macarena.

Oh, oh!

OK.

As entertaining as this is...

Ha!

I wanna wander Ollantaytambo.

Yeah, me, too.

So we will talk about it later when we come back.

Ha!

Wow.

Look at this place.

This pool.

Beautiful.

If it was up to me, we'd be sleeping on someone's couch.

Was that your original plan?

No plan is my kind of plan, Dan.

What do you think?

Bueno!

Ha!

I don't know.

Things tend to work themselves out.

What you got there?

What don't I have?

4k 360 digital camera projector.

Sweet.

Does it stream?

Does it stream?

It livestreams.

You're the man, Dan.

Yeah, I'm gonna set up a movie night out here.

What about dancing the night away?

Nah, better to play it safe.

And movie night is safe.

And romantic.

Actually, a lot of this trip has been really romantic.

What do you mean?

Don't get me wrong.

Your sister's plans have been great, but chocolate?

Salt?

Those aren't exactly secret superfoods.

Well, why do you think she's here?

I don't know.

But I don't think it's because of my cuisine quest.

Here.

Oh.

Gracias.

Salud.

Salud.

This is chicha morada.

This reminds me of family.

And on this trip, I feel like I have a new sister.

I always wanted a sister.

Dan is great, but it's not the same.

I've always got room for another sister.

So Carlos seems to be quite a fan of yours.

How do you mean?

Well, looks, hidden smiles, the poncho.

I've only ever seen Carlos to buy something for someone

when he really likes them.

I was cold.

He gave it to me out of necessity, not affection.

It could be both.

Mm, no.

He is a lone wolf.

It was a surprise for me that he wanted to go on a group trip.

But it didn't take me too long to know why.

Can I be honest with you?

Sure.

The last time I thought I had my future planned out, I...

Tyler's stuff had nothing to do with you.

Hey.

You are an amazing woman.

And an amazing man will cherish that.

Thank you.

You can trust your heart again, Katie.

Whoa.

That's the third vegan restaurant I've seen here.

Well, I'm gonna pop in and ask if they have.

Yeah, nice.

I'll wait for you.

- So much for your twin-tuition! - Whoa!

Where did you come from?

He's on to us.

Who is on to what?

Carlos.

He's on to the proposal.

And if he knows, she knows.

What do you mean?

What did he say?

He said he thought it was kind of

weird that you were taking us to all these romantic locations.

Oh, that's ridiculous.

Carlos doesn't think you're gonna propose.

He thinks that... ah!

No. - What?

What? What?

It's worse.

It is so much worse.

You're freaking me out. What?

Carlos doesn't think that you're gonna propose.

He thinks that I am in love with him.

Oh.

I have to find the rarest, most singular

Peruvian secret ingredient of all time

to convince Carlos that is the only reason we are on this trip.

Katie.

Twin now timeout.

What?

Make it quick.

I saw you two today.

You can't deny there's chemistry.

Carlos has chemistry with everyone.

Besides, this trip is not about me.

It's about you and Luciana.

Katie.

No.

I have to find a food that will change Carlos's mind before he

changes the plans again.

Take this.

Oh, gosh!

Luci, hi.

Cheers.

What just happened?

That's it.

He is not gonna find a more rare food anywhere.

Hey.

Buenas noches.

Hi.

What did you get at the market?

Oh, it was the best.

Check it out.

Sweet drop peppers.

Nice.

Camu camu berries.

Ooh.

And to wash it all down.

These are all high in vitamins and low on the radar.

Mm.

Es spectacular.

You know that's why I'm here, right?

To find you a secret superfood ingredient.

That's what you keep telling me.

And I have.

Mm.

For tomorrow.

What is it?

You're gonna have to wait and see.

Hey, um, I was thinking of checking

out what Dan and Luci are up to, maybe grab some dinner?

Do you want to come?

Thank you, but I ate at the market.

So that's a no?

Yeah, I'm just gonna chill here.

Have fun, though.

OK.

Good night, Katie.

Wow!

Unattended candles.

Really, Dan?

Hey.

Hi.

I'm sorry.

I thought you were going out for dinner.

Dan set this all up.

I couldn't let it go to waste.

You just can't resist a little improv.

I guess not.

Sorry, I'll, uh, leave you to it.

You don't have to go.

No.

You're right.

I'm sorry.

I figured that the best experiences

you never see coming so I jump at every opportunity I get.

Sometimes I overstep.

Carlos, I could actually use someone to explain the movie.

Seems I missed the start, and now I'm completely lost.

Well, Luci used to make me watch this every year.

It's called Seventh Heaven.

Huh.

It's a classic.

He's idealistic.

She's mistreated.

They're total opposites, but they're

forced through rough times.

And as they grow closer together,

their differences turn into...

Hmm, let me guess...

love?

Well, even without words, you can feel it.

Yeah.

Sometimes you don't have to say anything to say everything.

Peruvian purple popcorn?

Say that 10 times.

Peruvian purple popcorn. Peruvian purple popcorn.

That's very good, but I was joking.

When was the last time you were in love like that?

Um, maybe never.

Maybe I was blinded by good looks and charm.

I fell for the fairy tale.

What about you?

It's been a long time.

Plus, I've had tunnel vision, only seeing

a restaurant at the end of it.

Well, it's good to be in love with your work.

Yeah, but there's so much more to life than that.

And relationships require work and time.

And I want to be with someone where

I'm compelled to put in that level

of effort every single day.

In my last relationship, there wasn't

much effort from him, which only made me put in more effort.

And then... I am oversharing.

Oh, no.

I love it.

I love your vulnerability.

It's inspiring.

You've inspired me quite a bit this trip.

I planned something.

Yeah?

I hired us a guide to take us through the Maras salt mines.

I think Dan and Luci might want to go

off on their own tomorrow.

I don't mind it just being me and you.

Sorry.

It's Dan.

Luci wants to dance.

They're going to Casa Bambita.

Oh, amazing.

Let's go.

Are you coming?

I want to see how this ends.

OK.

Enjoy the show.

Good night, Carlos.

Good night, Katie.

What happened to you?

They almost killed me last night, Katie.

The dancing, the strobe lights, the house music?

I'm broken.

I'm exhausted.

Who stays up until 6:00 AM?

Pull yourself together, Lieutenant Dan!

You need to find your second wind

by the time we get to Maras!

Buenos dias, amigos, aventureros.

Morning, Carlos!

I brought us all breakfast from the market.

Great.

I'm starving.

Breakfast quinoa drink for you.

Delicious.

And chicken and rice soup, aguadito for you.

Aw, like my grandpa used to make.

And chirimoya.

Looks like an artichoke, but tastes like a candied apple.

Thank you.

Well, now we have got our breakfast,

so we should hit the road.

To Maras.

Yes!

Maras!

You need to do a way better job of keeping

him preoccupied today.

This is my last chance at making this proposal happen.

I know, don't worry.

Send me a text and I will start recording when you're

10 minutes from one knee.

How am I gonna do that?

You're getting on that knee, even if it

means you never bend it again.

We cannot mess this up.

This is a long path.

It'll be worth it.

Hey!

Make it happen.

Make sure you have your ringer on.

Standing by.

So where's this guide?

Oh, uh, Luis?

He's meeting us at the lower pools.

OK.

I will follow you.

OK.

You'll never guess what it tastes like.

Is it salt?

Yeah?

There's a salt water spring feeding all this.

Then we wait for evaporate the water,

and then we scrape for salt. Pleased.

Your guide.

Carlos.

This is my friend, Katie.

Hello, Katie.

Hello, Carlos.

So welcome.

Oh, there's gotta be service here somewhere.

No se.

It's OK.

Did you hear that?

What?

Luis's family have been harvesting

these pools for decades.

They're beautiful.

They are.

Did you get what you're looking for, teach?

Hmm.

Luis has been telling me all about salt's healing properties,

detoxification, trace minerals.

Random question... do you know how to make a...

♪ pachamanca ♪

I do.

What is that?

A traditional method of cooking in fire pits

with hot rocks.

That could be something you could bring back to Chicago...

a new cooking method.

You could test it out with my super secret ingredient.

Tonight, sunset, overlooking the valley.

If we build it, they will come.

By "they," you mean Dan and Luci.

Wherever they are.

Funny.

Ah.

Good.

Nice.

We're not really here for a secret super food.

Yes, we are.

We are.

Whatever it is, you can tell me.

I have a food for you, really.

OK.

But there's something else going on.

Let me in on it.

I can help.

If I tell you, you have to promise to keep it a secret.

I promise.

What happened? I was ready.

I never got your text.

There wasn't any service.

Maybe we should just call it.

I'm on my last leg, literally.

No.

I've got this plan.

I saved the best for last.

I think we could just find some special place in Cusco.

More special than this?

You can propose overlooking the entire Sacred Valley.

It is stunning.

I'm not gonna let you down.

OK.

Oh.

Just a little closer.

Oh, I can't watch.

We've got lots of yucca potato.

We don't need cactus.

It's my secret ingredient.

She's got this.

Go a little further.

I got you.

Good.

OK.

Yeah.

OK.

OK.

So we don't use the fire.

We use the rocks?

Hot rocks, then the food, then more hot rocks,

pachamanca means cooking in mother air, literally.

I wonder when your cactus goes in.

My cactus doesn't go in.

What do you mean?

You risked your life for this rare delicacy.

Delicacy?

Who told you that?

Luis?

Technically, it's not the cactus

that's a special ingredient, but what's inside of it.

You break it open.

And you find the...

Bugs?

Delicious bugs.

After what you told me at the salt mines,

you didn't need to do all of this.

I know I didn't, but I wanted to.

You never know what might inspire your next menu.

Now you have to try them, Carlos.

He's right.

All right, let's go!

Ah!

Did I do that right?

Good job.

Yay!

So, guys, it's going to take another 40, 45 minutes.

Well, see you then?

Uh, Dan, if you and Luci wanna take a stroll,

we can keep an eye on dinner.

I saw a spot we could see the whole valley from.

Oh.

Yeah.

Let's go.

OK.

Bye.

Bye.

You think he's gonna do it?

Oh, he better.

We have already been to all of Peru's most lovey dovey places.

Whoa.

All those changing plans you adjusted to...

you're more spontaneous than you think.

Well, I am learning from the best.

It makes sense now why the last few days felt so romantic.

Maybe that's not the only reason.

You're right.

There's an energy here.

That sounded like Luci.

Is everyone OK?

I don't know, I don't know.

What happened?

I tripped.

I'm OK, but I think I twisted my ankle.

Let me see.

Is she all right?

You told him?

You were the one who said he was a liability.

This isn't my fault!

If I hadn't listened to you, I would have been engaged by now.

Engaged at a restaurant, Dan.

If I hadn't taken the ring that night,

you would have proposed to a pisco sour.

What do you mean, you took the ring?

You took the ring?

Her whole family was there.

That would have been the perfect proposal!

Please!

It would have been a mess!

Couldn't be more of a mess than this.

It would have saved me from alpaca

allergies, eating bugs, and a nightmare road trip with you!

- OK, guys, why don't we just... - You should be thanking me!

Thanking you? For what?

For stopping you from being impulsive, thoughtless,

and making the biggest mistake of your life!

What mistake?

Nothing, Luci.

Here, let me...

You asked, and as usual, I came running to your rescue!

I have made this entire trip about you, helping you!

Oh, don't act like some sort of saint.

The only reason why you got us to come out here

was because you didn't want to be alone with Carlos.

Um, why don't we just go back to Cusco and get Luci a doctor?

I'll get the truck a little bit closer.

Carlos.

Hi, you've

reach the voicemail of Carlos.

If this is about my restaurant opening...

Good morning, Maria.

Buenos dias.

What are you making?

I am preparing Luciana's favorite inchicapi for her

when she gets home from the doctor.

Oh. I hope it makes her feel better.

Yeah.

I'm actually on my way to the market to pick up some flowers.

Do you know her favorite?

She loves orchids.

Pink ones?

Always.

Where is Carlos?

I haven't seen him since you got back last night.

Yeah, he disappeared after our drive home.

He could be in Arequipa by now.

Anyway, do you need anything from the market?

If you see aji rocoto, we are all out.

Aji rocoto, got it.

Aji rocoto.

Aji rocoto?

No.

Gracias.

Hola.

Hola.

Rosada... oh.

Gracias.

Hey.

Sorry, Maria.

No luck at the market.

It's OK.

I have plenty of aji amarillo here.

Won't that ruin the recipe?

Ruin?

No.

It's not going to be exactly the same.

Just the essential ingredients, and then we can improvise.

Maybe it's gonna be better.

That's the beauty of cooking.

You can be spontaneous.

This is not gonna be a perfect inchicapi, but that's OK.

It's gonna be perfectly imperfect.

You're right.

Carlos was right.

I'll be right back.

Ciao!

Hola.

They don't have to be pink.

I'll take them all.

Quiero todas estas.

It's all set up.

You just need to get them in here.

Dan, hi.

Hey.

How's Luci?

She's good.

It's just a sprain, but she'll have

to wear a boot for a few weeks.

But she'll be all healed by the time her and Carlos

open up his new restaurant.

So she's taking the sous chef position.

That's great.

It is.

She'll be busy.

There definitely won't be an engagement redo anytime soon.

I'm sorry I pushed you so far.

I just wanted your proposal to be perfect.

So did I.

But it doesn't need to be.

You don't need a special place or the right ring or

even a sappy speech.

All you need is each other.

Dan, you knew that, and now so do I. You are

enough exactly the way you are.

Thanks.

I'll keep that in mind for a trip next year, I guess.

I can't even begin to think of another plan right now.

I already did.

No, I am not trying to do another big proposal plan again.

This is different.

I promise.

Just the essential ingredients.

When you get to the house, Maria knows what to do,

and so will you.

How?

Twin-tuition.

How's the ceviche?

I feel awful about how things went down.

Carlos, I need to explain myself.

So you didn't invite your brother

to avoid being stuck with me?

No, I did.

But it wasn't that I didn't want to be stuck with you.

It was that I did.

I... I don't get what you mean, Katie.

Either you did or you didn't.

I wanted...

I want to be with you.

And that scares me.

So I tried to distance myself.

The last time I gave my heart away, it got burned.

It made me think that I couldn't trust my feelings.

But being here with you is changing that.

You have a way of moving through the world

that I do not understand.

You mess up every plan I make.

But what ends up happening is somehow better than I

ever could have imagined.

I think you are incredible.

And before you take off on your next adventure,

know that I will never forget this trip.

I'm really sorry.

Don't you want to know what my secret ingredient is?

The secret I have discovered is that there isn't one.

There is no special berry or herb or grain

because cooking isn't about how one component works on its own,

but what happens when it meets another.

Take that ceviche separately.

It's just fish and lime juice and spices.

But when they get together, chemistry happens.

Something better, something new is created

because they are together.

Are we still talking about cooking?

Please tell me we're not still talking about cooking.

First, I have to go to Machu Picchu.

Ah!

Machu Picchu with you.

Right, OK.

Oh, wait, wait.

I gotta pay here.

Slow down, Mom.

What is it?

I know nothing.

I know nothing.

She's crazy.

Luci, you are the sun that warms my heart

and the earth that grounds me.

Here, in Peru, where the past and present meet,

I want to be with you, not only in this moment,

but in all moments of my life.

Luciana, will you be my wife?

Yes!

My work here is done.

This is incredible.

You are incredible.

Getting married!
