Granny Smiths flying through.

Ooh, slim pickings at the farmer's market, huh?

Yeah, not that much in the way of fruit.

I'm thinking apple pie French toast

for today's special

with a blend of the leftover challah and brioche.

You know, mix things up a bit.

I mean, you are the food genius, Chef.

-That I am, Miss Manager. -Mm, Miss Manager.

I like it. I'll have Carlos

review the specials board when he comes in tomorrow.

Perfect. And, hey, did we get

that buzzing thing fixed on the fryer?

We did, but we're gonna have to sell, like,

500 Eggs Benedicts to pay for it, but it'll be good.

-Oh, that's it? -Mm.

We can't have anything go wrong today.

Speaking of which, do we have an ETA

when the food critic is coming for the interview?

Yes. Actually, I wanted to talk to you about that.

-Am I in trouble? -No, no, of course not.

It's fine. I just wanted to have a little chat.

It sounds like I'm in trouble.

Nic.

So...Nic,

you are my best friend in the entire world.

We've known each other since before we could talk,

and I can tell from looking at you

that you're about to crack.

What are you talking about? I'm fine.

I'm talking about how you're dealing

with your sister disappearing.

Nic, you almost baked

someone's mixed green salad yesterday,

and the day before that, you tried to put custard

on that guy's steak instead of béchamel.

-Easy mistake. -It's a matter of time

before you chop your own finger off.

How did you know?

Nic, it's not funny.

Your bereavement was supposed to last two weeks.

It has barely even been one.

First off, this is not a bereavement.

Darcie has not been pronounced dead.

But we still don't know what happened to her.

Yeah, but the cops keep telling us that

these types of disappearances are completely normal.

And people her age just go missing,

and then, one day, they turn back up,

and it just turns out that they, like,

went on vacation or something. Besides, I haven't even

talked to Darcie in over a year, so...

Yeah, why not? You still won't tell me

what happened with that.

So, for all I know,

this could be normal, typical behavior for her.

Okay, then why would she leave her phone

and her wallet and her car... -Keely, I'm not having

this conversation with you again.

Look, I do so much better when I'm at work.

Here, I get to hang out with you and cook.

It takes my mind off the fact that my sister is still missing.

I hate being at home all alone

with just my thoughts to keep me company.

That's kind of the point, Nic.

Besides, if I was at home,

I would just be going completely nuts

wondering how the interview was going.

I already told you I have the interview handled.

I know, and I trust you,

but this is the biggest thing

to ever happen with the Over Easy.

We really need this.

This place has been struggling the last few months.

Come on, Keels. Come on.

You know that I'm hopeless when I'm all by my lonesome.

Fine. On one condition.

We do the interview together so that I can supervise you,

and then immediately you go home.

Mm-hmm. I promise on everything holy.

Okay, but do you pinkie promise?

Oh, I pinkie promise.

Okay, this is today's special.

It is a farmers market apple pie French toast.

It has a light caramel drizzle,

hand-whipped Chantilly cream, and spiced pecans.

Mmm. It looks beautiful.

Uh, can I have a fork?

Oh. Of course. Right.

Oops, so sorry. Here, here.

-That's okay. -Okay.

This is delicious.

Thank you.

Uh, what is the bread?

Is it...is it brioche?

It's brioche and challah, both baked in-house.

This is a bread tag.

Derek, I am so sorry.

-Nic, I'll just meet you... -But...

...in the back, Nic.

Derek, I am so sorry. Please, just let me explain.

Nic is going through a really, really hard time right now.

Her sister is missing, and she's trying to keep

the restaurant afloat at the same time.

It's a lot. This is her dream.

All right, all right. Look...

I'll see if I can make another appearance.

Thank you. Thank you so much. I really appreciate it.

Is there anything left to salvage,

or did I just ruin our chances of saving the restaurant?

Don't worry about it. He said that we can call him

in a couple of days, and he might be able to reschedule.

Nic...look at me.

I'm gonna take care of this place

so it's ready for you whenever you want to come back.

But right now, you got to take care of yourself.

Okay? I'm gonna come over tonight.

We'll make some popcorn. We'll put on a trashy movie.

But right now, you got to get your head on straight.

Okay?

You're right.

I know. I'm genius.

Hey...

I love you.

-I love you, too. -Get out of here.

Please don't just go home and work, okay?

You need to take a break. I'll see you tonight.

Aah!

"If you've found this,

it probably means that I've gone missing."

What?

"Things have been getting weird at SweetCo.

"One employee has already disappeared,

and I'm scared I might be next."

-Nic, that's crazy. -I know.

Oh, my gosh. I mean, I guess I knew SweetCo was shady,

like a pyramid scheme or something,

but I had no idea they were committing actual crimes.

And Darcie was in deep.

You don't think they kidnapped her, do you?

That's what it looks like, doesn't it?

Man.

-Did call the cops yet? -Not yet. I came straight here.

Okay, well, here's what you're gonna do. You're gonna go home,

call the detective assigned to your case,

tell him what's up,

and then stay home and take care of yourself.

I'm gonna come over and make sure that you do.

I'll be there around 9, okay?

Okay, Mom.

-Hurry up. Go. -Okay.

Detective Marshall speaking.

Hi. It's Nic Bollinger, Darcie Bollinger's sister.

What can I do for you?

Well, I found something in her bedroom

that I think really pertains to her disappearance.

We already searched her house.

Yeah, but she was heavily involved

with this company, SweetCo.

We know this.

Yeah, I-I know, but in her bedside table,

I found hidden a journal with a note that says,

"If you've found this, it probably means

that I've gone missing." -Look, you're welcome

to drop the notebook off at the station if you want,

but I doubt that this will get us anywhere.

And we're doing the best we can to find your sister.

Obviously not if you're nowhere closer

to finding her than you were a week ago.

Your sister paid her rent for this month.

-What? -Her rent has been paid.

She's somewhere, Nic, paying her rent and everything.

I don't know what her notebook says,

but she's clearly planning on coming back,

so patience is the best course of action at this point.

Fine.

Is there anything else I can help you with?

No, that's all.

Have a good evening.

Hello. Thank you

for calling the SweetCo Girls' Weekend RSVP line.

How may I help you today?

Hi. I know it's super last minute,

but I was hoping I could make a reservation

for one still.

-Future Sweetheart. -Sure.

Hey, friend.

So, you're not dead?

Uh, sorry. I spaced and forgot to call.

Wait, where are you?

I'm, uh...

...on a...drive.

-Going where? -Well...

I'm going to SweetCo.

What? Why in the world would you wanna go there?

Because SweetCo is having an open house this weekend,

and the detectives don't wanna help me.

I have to do something, or I'm gonna go crazy.

Fine. I'm coming with you.

-No. You can't. -Why not?

I don't want you getting mixed up in all of this.

And you can be the person that I call

if something goes wrong.

And someone has to watch over the cafe.

I don't think that that's...

Did you call back Derek?

Not yet.

Nic, you need to come home right now.

No. What I need to do

is to find out what happened to my sister.

The last thing I ever said to her

was I never wanted to talk to her again

if she kept choosing SweetCo over her real family.

The least I can do is see if SweetCo

has anything to do with her disappearance.

Fine. On one condition.

You have to call me every day

and tell me everything that's happening.

And if anything starts to feel strange or off,

you get out of there immediately. Okay?

Deal.

But I am using a fake name,

and we look absolutely nothing alike.

Yeah. I mean, she was your half-sister, so...

No. She's my sister.

Yeah.

-I love you. -I love you, too.

Okay.

-Name? -Emily Wilson.

-I'm here for the... -Proceed.

-Hello, Sweetheart. -Hi. Oh...

We are so excited you're here for our fifth annual

Women's Weekend and Open House.

The boys and I will take care of your vehicle

and luggage from here.

I'd rather just park myself, if that's okay.

I am so sorry, Sweetheart.

The parking garage is employees only.

Well, could I at least take my luggage?

Mm. You have nothing to worry about.

My team will handle your belongings

with the utmost professionalism.

Okay.

Hi, Sweetheart. This is for you.

Oh, thank you.

Check-in table's just over here.

Cheers.

Can I get your name, please?

Emily Wilson.

Of course.

Here is your room key... number 314.

Here's a map and master itinerary.

Bolded events are mandatory attendance.

Please stay on retreat grounds at all times during the weekend.

If you have to leave early due to an emergency,

please speak to one of our concierge staff

in the lobby. -Thanks.

Oh, my God, it's Melissa!

Oh, my God!

- She's here. - She's here.

What's going on? Is Oprah here or something?

No, it's even better. It's Melissa.

Hello, Sweethearts.

Do you need help with anything, Sweetheart?

Uh, yeah. I can't find my room on this map. It's room...

314?

Yeah.

You know, you don't have to call me "Sweetheart."

It was kind of cute at first in a...creepy kind of way,

but the charm's starting to wear off.

Melissa likes us to call all our Sweethearts "Sweetheart."

-Really? -I'm afraid so.

It's Melissa's way of showing respect

to her devotees... Sweetheart.

Hmm. Well...

I'd prefer it if you didn't.

Fine. Shall I show you to your room?

-Uh, no. I think that... -We don't want you

wandering the halls by yourself all night, do we?

Thanks.

Please put on the dress Melissa handpicked for you.

Opening night dinner and dance start promptly at 8.

See you then.

See ya there.

Did they kidnap you yet?

Okay, you were 100% right.

The place is giving major cult-y vibes.

I mean, the women here were practically

throwing their underwear at the CEO.

-Yikes. -I know.

I have to go to this welcome dinner party tonight,

and get this...Melissa, the owner of the company,

hand-picked out a dress specifically for me to wear.

That is really creepy.

Bet you $200 you're gonna be hawking me

moonstone eggs by Monday.

Shut up. There is literally a zero percent chance

that this place brainwashes me.

Oh, I know, but it's just that really smart, successful people

get sucked into these things all the time. Okay?

Just keep your guard up.

All right?

Okay, I can't take it any longer.

-Did you call Derek? -Actually...

I...think you should trust me more.

Fine. Okay.

I have to go get ready for this dinner.

-I'm gonna be late. -Deal.

Have fun at the initiation ceremony,

and don't sacrifice too many virgins, okay?

-Keely. -Love you. Bye!

Bye.

Oh. Sorry.

Oh. Beep-beep.

And that is why this weekend

is the most important event of the year.

Because without the support of women...

...without the passion, the loyalty...

...the devotion,

the backbreaking, hard work of women,

SweetCo simply would not exist today.

And that's why I'd like to raise a glass

to the hundreds of thousands of women

who support SweetCo

through reviews, purchases,

and just... overall positive energy.

Because when we raise a glass to SweetCo,

we raise a glass to each other.

Cheers.

Cheers.

Mm! But enough of me yammering on.

Let's get this party started with our very own DJ Gratitude!

Ladies...I'm your DJ.

Restricted areas are for staff only.

Whoops.

Do you need help getting back to your room again?

No, thanks. I got it.

Remember to stay away from the restricted rooms.

Why? What are you hiding back there?

Don't worry. There aren't any bones buried back there.

Right.

Watch your back while you're here.

Come on, sis. Give me something to go on.

Oh, I guess I'm going to the Cut Them Out Seminar.

Hello?

Hi. My name is River.

Hi. I'm Emily.

Is this your first time here?

Yeah. A friend told me about it,

so I thought I'd come check it out.

Well, you have made a really wonderful

and powerful decision.

This is my favorite seminar. It's...It's so freeing.

Don't be afraid to really allow your emotions

to come through.

I'll keep that in mind.

Good morning, all you beautiful souls.

My name is Fennel, and I will be your guide

in this workshop on one of SweetCo's core values...

family.

This is an important step

as we are reaching our most fully realized selves,

but to do this,

we must learn to release the traumas of our past.

To begin,

I would like for everyone to close their eyes.

Allow your body to relax.

Start to let your day go.

I would like everyone to give me one loud

"ahh" breath to release the day.

Ready? One, two, three.

Ahh!

Feel your spirit open up as your stress melts away.

Good.

Now open your eyes.

It's time for our contributions.

Contributions, for those of us who are new,

are when we share something that makes us feel vulnerable...

something that was difficult to go through.

And it could be something from 15 years ago

or something that happened five minutes ago.

The choice is yours.

Who would like to go first?

I can't say I'm surprised.

River, why don't you start us off?

Well...

my divorce is final.

Everyone, give River a big round of applause.

He and I both really, really wanted to have a baby.

That was one of the things that brought us together.

We were trying for the last few years.

But he was getting more and more upset

that I hadn't gotten pregnant.

We went to fertility doctors.

They said we were fine and to keep trying,

but it just wasn't working.

Things came to a breaking point a few months ago.

Tell us about that.

Well, I was really upset about everything.

I told him I felt like he was pulling away from me

because I hadn't gotten pregnant.

And he screamed at me

that, uh, that, um...

...that it was my fault.

That my body was broken and...

...and that he didn't love me anymore.

Oh.

He...He grabbed his keys to leave.

And I tried to hug him.

But he hit me.

No.

Honey...

You did what you had to do.

What did she have to do, class?

Cut him out!

We are here for you, honey.

Thank you.

Would you like to go next?

Oh. No. It's my first time,

so I rather just observe today.

What's your name?

Emily.

Well, Emily, it's a little hard

for everyone here to be open and vulnerable

if there is one person who is resisting opening up.

How can we trust you if you won't contribute?

Don't worry. We got your back.

We're not just friends. We're family.

Your chosen family

is much stronger than your biological family.

Well, maybe if somebody else could go next.

I think everyone really wants to hear from you.

So, Emily,

is there anything that was stressful

that happened this week

or anything you wanna get off your chest?

Uh...yeah, actually.

I had a pretty stressful week at work.

What happened at work?

I had this big interview

that was supposed to promote my business,

and I kinda blew it.

Why'd you blow it?

Uh, well, I have a restaurant,

so I was preparing the meal, and I accidentally...

No. I-I mean what was distracting you?

What was the thing that triggered you

to make the mistake?

Well...

I guess I was distracted

by my, um...

my brother.

Your brother?

Yeah.

What did your brother do?

He...

...died.

Yeah. He, uh, he died

a few weeks ago, and it's been...

...it's been really tough.

Were you and your brother close?

Yeah. Well, we were until about a year ago.

We stopped talking over something so stupid. And...

He was a...

He was my best friend,

and... I told him

that I never wanted to see him again.

He died suddenly, and I...

...wasn't there.

Do you have anyone to help you during this difficult time?

Yeah. I-I have this friend.

She's incredible.

She's more like a sister. But...

There's always a "but."

I know that she means well.

She really does, but...

...it just...

it just...it bothers me

that she keeps mothering me so much.

You know, she keeps telling me that I need to stay home

and take care of myself, but she doesn't realize

that I need to be out of the house,

that I-I can't take care of myself

when I'm all alone.

I need to be surrounded by the people that I love.

That...will be what helps me get through it.

Emily, I have known you for maybe 10 minutes...

but I've never seen you look so beautiful.

Oh. Uh, thanks.

I'm sure your friend means well,

but she clearly doesn't understand you

if she isn't respecting your boundaries

and is she mothering you this way.

What does Emily need to do to her friend?

Cut her out.

Exactly.

Uh...

I-I don't know if I need to go that far.

Just think about it.

Really great work, Emily.

Who would like to go next?

How's it going?

Fennel and River were just talking about

your beautiful breakthrough in the last seminar.

I thought those seminars were private.

There are no secrets in our family.

Well, it's time to start class, so let's circle up.

All right, everyone. Let's gather around!

Gather around here.

Great. Looks like we only have

one new face today,

so everyone welcome Emily.

Hi, Emily.

Does everyone remember the weak spots?

Eyes. Nose. Throat.

Solar plexus. Groin. Knees.

Good. Emily, why don't you do a quick practice with me

since this is your first time? -Okay.

-I'm gonna turn you around. -Okay.

All right, Emily,

knowing the weak spots, what would you do to escape?

Um...

Very good. All right, let's pair up and practice...

I'll be Emily's partner.

-Uh... -Awesome.

Well...all right.

Candace, why don't you be the attacker

so I can coach Emily through the defense techniques?

Start here. On the count of three.

One. Two...

Oh!

I am so sorry. I didn't mean to.

You were coming at me.

Candace, take it easy.

Candace, go take a breather!

It's not my first self-defense class.

Aah!

Enough! That's it.

Stay away from Melissa.

-Cheers. -Cheers.

"Dear Emily, please join me at the head table

for a private lunch tomorrow.

I love a chance to get to know you better.

Sincerely, Melissa."

Thank you.

I don't think we've met, darling.

-I'm Melissa. -Emily.

Nice to meet you, Emily. It is very important to me

to make time to meet all my new faces.

Take a seat.

Everyone, say hello to our newest Sweetheart.

Um, not quite a Sweetheart yet.

-Hi, Emily. -Great to see you again.

-Good to see you. -Hi, everyone.

We are just so happy to have you.

Thanks. This has been amazing.

I've been hearing about some of your sessions

from these ladies.

Seems like you're already getting a lot out of being here.

Yeah, they're very... interesting.

I have never been to seminars like this before.

But are you enjoying them?

Yes. Of course. Who wouldn't?

I...don't mean to pry, but I couldn't help but notice

that you're all wearing these lovely gold bracelets.

Is there any significance behind them?

Ah, excellent eye you've got there, Emily.

Melissa gives them to each of us when we join the Sisterhood.

The Sisterhood? Is that like a sorority?

Oh, it's just a silly little clique,

but these women are my biggest devotees.

Enough about us, though. We want to hear more about you.

What brought you to our open house?

Well, somebody that I work with recommended that I check it out,

so here I am.

Oh, from someone you work with.

Very nice.

Where do you work?

I run an all-day brunch cafe.

Wow. I'll just have to stop by.

I love hearing what my Sweethearts are up to...

when they're not devoting all their time and energy to me.

Well, again,

still not a Sweetheart quite yet.

You know, this is just my first time, so...

You know, Melissa has been wanting to expand SweetCo

into food for quite some time.

Oh, is that so?

Yes. You see, health food

would just be a whole new world of possibilities.

We're not nearly there, though.

Just can't seem to get it right,

and it's not up to SweetCo standards.

Maybe one day.

Well, if you need somebody to bounce ideas off of,

I do have a degree in nutrition.

Really? Well, this just might be kismet.

Maybe after lunch, you can join Fennel and me,

and we can bump heads some more.

Oh.

Melissa, I'd be happy to accompany you as well.

Thank you, Sweetheart, um, but I think

we'll be fine, just the three of us.

There are just some juices

that I can't seem to get quite right.

Fun.

Well, have at it.

What's this... strawberry and lemon?

You really are a connoisseur. What do you think?

Well, I mean, you can't go wrong with that combo. It's a classic.

But I think that might be the issue here.

It's basic. You might want

to jazz it up with an herb like basil or mint.

What in the world is that?

Melissa, you didn't.

That's our trick juice.

Why do you have a trick juice?

Because Melissa is a little bit paranoid.

I'm not paranoid.

I just need a way to weed out...the liars.

You know, I think I've seen everything I need to see.

I know what the problem is, and honestly,

I could've told you what it was

before I tried any of the juices.

Oh, yeah? What is it?

Well, the whole juicing thing isn't actually healthy.

You're overloading your body with the sugar

of 5 cups of strawberries...

You're getting the vitamin of 5 cups of strawberries,

and fruit sugar is easier to digest than granulated sugar.

Sure, but not 5 cups' worth.

News flash...that much sugar is not good for you in any form.

I think what you need is a line of snacks

that are actually nutritious. Not some trendy fad...

SweetCo is not a fad!

Whoa.

Don't worry about her.

She's not used to being told she's wrong.

You've seen the way people fawn over her here.

-Yeah. -Let's get outta here.

Would you actually want to play hooky today?

Wait, seriously?

Yeah. I could use a little time off.

Wouldn't you?

Oh. Well...

-Yeah, I'd love to. -Awesome. Great.

I know this great little spot that's out of the way.

Fun.

We walk into this gorgeous kitchen,

and we're all starving, right?

But she just walks right over to this fruit bowl,

and she picks up one of the apples,

and she bites right into it,

even though we're all yelling at her not to.

Oh, that look on her face

when she realized it was made of wax.

Okay, I have to ask.

Candace seems to really have it out for me.

Did I do something?

Candace is...very...

-...devoted to Melissa. -Yeah.

It's very hard for her to watch Melissa

being affectionate to other people...

...especially when they're new.

-Candace works hard. -And Melissa? That lie test...

that was kind of weird, right?

Oh, I know. I...

I'm not so sure what's going on with Mel these days.

-She's not herself. -How so?

The friend that I started SweetCo with

really cared about people.

None of it was for her own sake.

It was all about helping others live their best lives.

And that's what I signed up for.

Like, that's what I believe in.

The company hit it big, and...

...Mel just...

The power got to her.

Have you tried talking to her?

Oh, sure. I mean, we've all tried

reasoning with her at one point or another. It's...

But even the people who have known her the longest

can't seem to get through.

Cone of silence?

My lips are sealed.

She had this best friend from college...Jacqueline Shaw.

She'd been with the company since almost the beginning.

I'm the only one that had been there longer.

She practically built the whole thing

alongside Melissa.

Well, a few months ago,

Mel completely iced her out,

dragged her name through the mud

just because she disagreed about the juices.

Haven't seen her since.

She...disappeared?

No one knows where she is. She's unreachable.

You don't think that Melissa...

...did something?

The friend that I know wouldn't.

But...

...your imagination does run away

with things like this.

Thanks for this.

-I really needed it. -Yeah.

Me, too.

It was really lovely getting to know you.

I'm really happy we met.

Oh, me, too. Oh.

Hey, are you okay?

Oh, yeah. Um...

I... I should tell you...

Hi, ladies!

Oh, um...

I'm so sorry. I just needed some fresh air, so we...

Don't worry. Fennel is like my right hand.

She won't get in any trouble for skipping out today.

Great. Uh, well, then, I'll just let you two get back to...

I was actually looking for you.

You were?

I wanted to talk more about the health food.

You hit a trigger earlier that I know you didn't mean to,

and I reacted badly.

Yeah. Sure.

Great. Let's go back to the kitchen.

Great. I will be right behind you.

I thought we could brainstorm some ideas for healthy snacks.

What are your thoughts on cleanses?

Truthfully? It's a giant scam.

Our bodies are efficient enough to cleanse themselves.

Right, but I want you to look at this

also from a business standpoint.

Having a line of food items

for something like a cleanse is great

because customers feel like

they have a routine and a range of options.

Brings people comfort and keeps them coming back.

How about this? So, we all know

that one of the most important things in nutrition

is that we make sure that we eat

a lot of different types and colors

of fruits and vegetables, right?

So, what if we came up with a rainbow line?

Monday for red and Tuesday for orange,

and so forth. That way, your customers

can make sure that they're eating a range of foods

that are actually healthy and setting their rainbow goals.

That's what I'm talking about!

Wow.

Mm.

I have to say, what you've built here is really impressive.

Thank you.

It does take a certain skill set

to build a business from scratch.

And I can tell you have that mindset.

You have a growing brunch business

when there's a brunch restaurant on every corner.

Yeah. Yeah, after all the bumps in the road.

What bumps?

When I opened my restaurant, and we started getting traction,

my husband Ethan, out of nowhere,

became so insecure and jealous.

It was either him or the restaurant.

I do not think he ever thought

that I would choose the restaurant.

But, really, I was choosing myself.

Sometimes you have to cut people out.

You did the right thing.

It's hard, especially for women.

Men often don't realize

they feel threatened by a strong, successful woman.

Yes.

So, how about you?

What made you get into health and wellness?

When I was 12...

...my mother died from ovarian cancer.

Oh, Melissa, I am so sorry.

Nothing helped.

Doctors, the medicine.

But it seemed like...

Every week, I-I would watch her get treatments

that were supposed to be helping, but, uh...

It seemed like they were killing her

faster than the disease was.

After she passed, it made me wonder

what I could've done differently.

If I could've saved her.

So, I decided to take my health into my own hands

and learn as much about my body as possible.

I truly do believe that we can heal ourselves

with the proper mindset

and the right concentration of nutrients.

I believe the same exact thing.

No one knows our bodies better than we do.

When you challenged me earlier about my wellness beliefs,

it brought back a lot of the weight

that I still carry about my mom.

That's why I snapped.

And I truly apologize.

Hey, do not give it another thought.

Thank you for sharing that with me.

- Hey, girl. - Hey.

You know, I'm having second thoughts and I think...

So, I did some digging on Jacqueline,

and you won't believe what I found.

-Oh, yeah? -Yeah.

So, it looks like she's missing, right?

But according to the internet, Jacqueline Shaw

is still happily working for the company.

I mean, SweetCo's listed as her employer on her LinkedIn,

on her social media bios.

And her latest Instagram post is yesterday.

-Seriously? -Yeah.

Look for yourself.

Wow. Fennel was dead serious

when she was talking about her.

But we did polish off a bottle of wine together,

so she may not have been thinking straight.

Gosh, it's all so messed up, huh?

I don't know. I'm starting to think

that maybe we had the wrong idea about SweetCo.

I had a really nice one-on-one with Melissa earlier,

and now you're telling me that Jacqueline

is still in the picture?

Maybe Darcie wasn't right about SweetCo.

Maybe whatever happened to her

has nothing to do with any of this after all.

Maybe she doesn't want me to find her.

Nic, are you serious? You don't think it's fishy

that Jacqueline and Darcie are missing,

but Darcie's rent was paid,

and Jacqueline's still active on social media?

-They must still be out there. -No.

Nic, they're trying to make it look like

they're happily living their lives.

But they're not. They're missing.

You don't think that that sounds far-fetched?

-I mean, maybe, but... -I don't know.

Maybe I was just trying to find complicated answers

to something simple, something cut-and-dry,

just like the detective was saying.

I just didn't want to believe it.

I don't know, Nic.

I think you need to ask yourself

how well you actually know these women

and if you can really trust them,

no matter how nice the boss might seem.

Darcie had a good head on her shoulders.

She wasn't the type to run off and not say anything.

I know.

Good morning.

Oh, hey.

Hey. How was your night last night?

Uh, best night of sleep I had in a while. And you?

Yeah, I'm feeling very...refreshed.

[indistinct conversations in background

You okay?

Don't tell me that Melissa got you in trouble

for playing hooky yesterday.

Oh, no. Melissa hasn't said a word.

Good. Uh, speaking of yesterday,

I wanted to ask you something

about what we were talking about.

It's not a big deal.

It's just something I was curious about.

Uh, sure.

So, the woman you mentioned... Jacqueline,

the one that Melissa fired.

Uh...yeah, it's a smidge foggy,

but I can...I can sort of recall.

Well, it was interesting

because when I looked her up online,

it seems like she was still working for SweetCo.

Oh, yeah. Melissa hired her back

a couple of days later.

It wasn't all I cracked it up to be.

It was a simple argument, and they made up.

Pinot noir just makes me gossipy.

So, uh, is she here this weekend?

Who?

-Jacqueline. -Oh, no.

She's helping, you know, set up the livestream.

It's crunch time, after all.

I'm sorry. I got to go. I'm leading

the pre-natal vitamin seminar in, like, 20 minutes.

Okay. Good luck.

Can we just talk for a second?

Lissa, I can't do this anymore. It's gotta stop.

Shh. Not in here.

I have a surprise for you. Come with me.

Come, come, have a seat.

So, what did you want to talk about?

Well, I'm afraid I have some unfortunate news.

Earlier today, Fennel informed me

that she will be leaving the company,

effective immediately.

Oh, my gosh. Melissa, I am so sorry.

It's a shame, but not really a surprise.

She'd been talking about wanting to make more time for her family

for quite a while now.

I...I only wish

she would've given me a little bit more notice

so I could've better prepared for the livestream.

Nevertheless, sometimes life's curveballs

turn out to be blessings in disguise,

which brings me to the real reason

why I invited you up today.

I really enjoyed our conversation last night.

I see a lot of myself in you, you know.

More, perhaps, than anyone I've ever met.

You're not afraid to challenge me,

make me better.

I really appreciate your thoughtfulness

and generosity of spirit.

Emily Wilson...

I'd like you to be my new second-in-command.

You'll be an official member of the Sisterhood,

and we can build this health food line together.

This bracelet was Fennel's old one.

I hope you don't mind.

Oh. That is a very generous offer, but...

This is your chance to really change people's lives,

educate them,

help them be their healthiest selves.

Before you say anything, there is one stipulation.

SweetCo has a strict non-compete clause,

so if you accept the offer...

...you'd be agreeing to give up your restaurant.

I-I worked so hard to start my restaurant.

I know it's a big ask for you to give up the business

that you've poured your heart and soul into.

As a business owner myself, I understand.

But how much are you actually making

with the restaurant?

Most restaurants fail,

and almost none see a profit within the first five years.

But I'm prepared to offer you 30% of our profits.

This is a multimillion-dollar company,

so your earnings will be life-changing.

That's how much I believe in what we can do together.

If it was just me, but...

I started the restaurant with a friend.

Didn't you say something about your ex holding you back?

What if you're holding the restaurant back?

I don't know.

What do you say?

I...

It would...it would be an honor.

Is that a yes?

- Yes. I accept. - Aah!

I'm so happy. I wasn't sure you'd go for it.

Oh. Like you were always meant to wear it.

We should celebrate.

-I'll grab champagne. -Okay.

Hey, Nic, sorry. I can't really talk right now.

Melissa wants me to run SweetCo with her.

-What? -She wants me to run

the SweetCo health brand with her

and give me 30% of the profits.

-What? -It's crazy.

It's just...well, I'd have to give up the cafe.

So, you obviously said no.

Keely, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity,

and cafes... they fail all of the time.

Nic, we built this place together from the ground up

with literal blood, sweat, and tears.

And now you're telling me you want to throw it all away

and leave me in the lurch for some woman

that less than 24 hours ago,

you were certain kidnapped your sister?

Do you realize how that sounds?

Melissa's a crazy woman who kidnapped my sister.

Hang up that phone.

-Uh, I'm gonna call you back. -Nic?

Melissa, that is not what it seems like.

This is a huge misunderstanding.

No, it's not.

You are just like your sister,

Nicole Bollinger.

You made me trust you.

Everyone thinks that I'm paranoid,

but t is what happens when I put my trust in people!

Boys!

No. No. No! You won't get away with this.

I really never liked doing this,

but you've left me with no choice.

Much like...Darcie.

Where is my sister? What did you do to her?

Nothing she didn't desperately need.

I sincerely hope you're able to heal

through this experience.

No, no, no!

Let me go! Help!

Let me go!

Aah!

Get back here!

My God.

Security, there's a problem...

...for a blonde female last seen by elevator.

Hello?

Hello? Is there anyone in there?

Please talk to me.

If you talk to me, then I can try to help you.

Are you locked in there?

Hello. Hello. Is there anyone in here?

Hello?

Please, is there anyone that can talk to me?

I think my sister's down here.

- Wait. - Hello?

-Darcie? -Hello?

Darcie, is that you?

The drizzle.

Thank you so much for coming back, Derek.

Oh, yeah. It was a pleasure, really.

-I'm glad I came back. -Me, too.

-How's Nic doing? -She's good.

She's getting some well-deserved rest.

-That's fantastic. -Yeah.

Well, I will let you know when the article's published.

- I can't wait. - All right, have a good day.

-Thanks, Derek. You, too. -All right, bye-bye.

Bye. See ya.

Hi. You've reached Nic's phone.

Please leave a message at the beep.

Oh, hell, no.

Hello, Sweetheart.

I hope you had a nice, restful nap.

If you're listening to this right now,

you probably have a number of questions.

What's going on? Where am I?

What did you do to me?

Know that those are all very natural

and reasonable questions to have.

Sometimes one may find herself

questioning the family's core values.

This may even lead to one

taking action against the family

in unacceptable and unproductive ways.

The Reflection Rooms were developed

as a way to reprogram you,

to help you heal from your sickness...

Help, help, somebody! I need help!

...in a safe, supportive environment.

Please help me! Help. Help!

This is not a prison sentence.

It is an opportunity for self-growth.

Once you have been determined to be fully healed,

your stay in the Reflection Room will end,

and you will be free to return to normal life.

We here at SweetCo love you,

and remember...

family comes first.

Someone there?

Fennel?

Fennel!

Fennel, can you hear me?

Go to the vent.

Fennel, Fennel, it's Emily. Can you hear me?

Emily. It's you?

Melissa tossed you down here, too?

Emily, I am so sorry.

It's my fault you're in this mess.

This goes deeper than either of us knows.

Fennel, what is going on?

I don't know all the details. Melissa operates in secret,

only giving out bits and pieces of information at a time.

I didn't even know this place existed.

How did you end up down here?

I...um...

My real name is Nicole Bollinger.

I know.

You do?

Yeah.

Darcie was my best friend.

I tried to protect her from Melissa.

Shh. Quiet.

Fennel, you scared me. What are you doing here?

I need you to stay quiet. Do you understand?

You are not safe here.

Melissa knows you're going to leave,

and she's been talking about crazy ways

of making you stay,

so we need to get you somewhere safe

until we can get Melissa under control.

-But... -Please listen.

Ever since her mother died,

she has been terrified of her family abandoning her.

And she considers you family now.

So, we have to get you out of here

for at least a few days.

-I understand. -Good.

Here's the location.

Leave your phone, your car,

anything that they can use to track you.

-Okay. -I'll see you soon, I promise.

Melissa was going insane with her jealousy

of the success of Darcie's yoga studio,

so she created a non-compete clause

in her contract.

Anyone who works for SweetCo

is forbidden from owning their own business.

When Melissa confronted Darcie

with the demand to let go of her yoga studio,

that's when she decided to leave.

That sent Melissa into a tailspin.

Thank you for trying to protect her.

You did what you could.

Now, how do we get out of here?

We not allowed to leave until we've come to our senses

and embraced the family.

Great.

Ready whenever you are.

I'll be stationed at the west hallway.

We'll start the live stream the moment you step onstage.

Are there people in the online waiting room

for the podcast?

There's already over 2,000 logged in.

Excellent.

Broke.

Told you. We're screwed.

Not yet, we're not.

You are powerful.

You are beautiful.

You are a champion.

River, thank goodness.

I am so sorry. I don't know what happened,

but...hey, listen to me.

This is all a huge mistake.

Who is your family?

What?

Who is your family?

I don't know what you're trying to get at.

I think that we can just talk about this...

Who is your family?

SweetCo is my family.

Hmm, I don't believe you.

We'll try again tomorrow.

Aah!

You can't do this!

Aah!

Now listen carefully.

Hello, Sweethearts.

Hello.

Oh.

Oh, my goodness.

Let me go, please.

Hello?!

Yes. Oh.

-Melissa gave you one of these? -Yeah, it's your old one.

It's a recording device.

-What? -I'll explain as we go. Come on.

Hi. I'm the...

Vendors gotta go around back through the service entrance.

Great, thank you.

Please, I'll do anything.

Darcie?

Nic.

Darcie.

Oh, I thought I dreamed your voice earlier.

It's me, really me.

I can't believe it!

I am so, so sorry. I should've never left you.

I don't know if you can forgive me,

but I love you, and I will never leave you again.

Oh, Nic, I should've never let SweetCo come between us.

It's okay. It's okay.

I-I tried to protect you. I thought you were safe.

I know. It wasn't your fault.

Do you know if anyone else is down here?

I think only Jacqueline.

We don't have much time.

Come on.

I feel that SweetCo

is a great company, and I'm lucky to...

Shh.

I feel that SweetCo is a great company...

-We're here to rescue you. -Come on. We have to go.

What?

Come on.

-Is this real? -Yes.

Come on.

Okay.

- Guards. - No!

All clear in the west hallway.

Good. Now come on.

Lucky for you all of you, we have some samples

of our rainbow juice line. Our ser...

Our servers will be coming through the aisles

to hand out sa...

So sorry, everyone.

It looks like I forgot to put my own phone on silent.

I'm so sorry, everyone. Something has suddenly come up,

and I must step away for just a moment.

Sit tight, and I'll have those samples out shortly.

In the meantime, you can listen to some music

from DJ Gratitude!

-Purpose? -Oh, I'm just here

to deliver some vegan, keto, sugar-free brownies

for the, um...

-The livestream after party? -Yes.

One moment, please.

Hey, Stevie.

You're waiting for brownies?

What the hell is going on?!

Whatever you're trying to pull, Sweethearts,

it's gonna have to wait.

I'm in the middle of a very big presentation.

-Guard. -Hello?

Please advise. I repeat, please...

Hey! Come back!

Got a situation on...

Melissa, you're a fraud.

Darcie, Jacqueline, you shouldn't be here.

You should be in your Reflection Rooms.

Do you mean being held hostage?

You've been holding us captive, Melissa.

They're being held hostage?

You should be grateful for what Melissa's done for you.

Candace, wake up.

Melissa has been deceiving all of us.

You wear one of these. Did Melissa tell you

what it really is, or she doesn't trust you enough?

Melissa trusts me.

These aren't just bracelets.

They're recording devices.

He was a... He was my best friend.

And...I told him

that I never wanted to see him again.

Every room on this premises during every seminar

has a recording device so she can gather information

to blackmail you if you ever decide

to go against the company.

-I told you this was a cult. -Shh.

I had a bad feeling about the company,

so I tried to quit.

She sent her thugs after me,

and I ended up being held captive in the basement.

Enough! I've done everything for all of you.

Everything!

But everyone always ends up leaving in the end.

Aah. Get away from me!

-Melissa. -All of you!

Melissa. Melissa, put down the knife.

-Aah. -No.

Melissa, please!

Melissa, please.

They're out to get me.

Melissa!

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God. I'm so sorry! She came out of nowhere.

-I didn't even see her. -Keely.

-Oh, my God. -It's okay.

I have never been so happy to see you in my entire life.

Melissa.

-Oh, My God. -Melissa, are you okay?

Oh!

I love you.

I love you so much.

I love you guys.

Melissa.

Melissa.

Melissa.

The court date has been set

for the trial of Melissa Sweet, former CEO

and founder of the multi-level marketing business SweetCo.

Sweet will be tried by Cynthia Glackel,

state prosecutor.

Sweet faces an array of charges

including kidnapping and racketeering.

Fellow SweetCo employee, Candace Parsons...

She can't hurt you anymore.

...conspiracy and accomplice charges.

If found guilty, Sweet could face

up to a total of 145 years in prison for her crimes.

The trial starts October 23rd.

145 years in the Reflection Room.

-I wish her a lengthy recovery. -Yeah.

Think we're gonna have to double our inventory

if we keep having sales days like this.

All thanks to you

for getting that second chance with Derek.

My pleasure.

-Hey! -Hi.

Hi.

-Hi. -My sweet Fennel.

How was the drive?

Hi.

Oh, I've missed you.

-I missed you. -All right.

Who's ready for our girls' night out?

-Me. -Oh, yes.

All right, out we go. Go, go, go.

Oh, yay!
