Each of these couples have been given just

$15,000 and two weeks to plan their dream wedding.

Every aspect of their three ceremonies have been judged and now the votes are in.

It's all come down to this final moment where each of these couples will receive a

box that they will open to see who has won the wedding

countdown and our grand prize of $50,000 in cash.

The moment has arrived.

At the count of three, each of these couples will open their boxes and the

couple whose box contains the wedding bell will be our winners.

And here we go.

Three, two, one.

Couples, please open your boxes.

Congratulations to our winning couple and that will

bring to a close another week of the wedding countdown.

Is that good for you, Lily?

Love it.

Good job, boss.

Thank you.

Grab a few beauty shots and we'll call it a day.

Got it.

That looked great, Lily.

Ah, Nicole.

Thank you.

It's not every day I got a compliment from the network in person.

Everyone's impressed with how smoothly things have

been running on these first couple of episodes.

Well, this is the third show in a row I've produced

for you so I better know what I'm doing by now.

Good point.

Which leads me to my next question.

Do you have any plans for dinner tonight?

I don't, but I think I'm about to.

Let's aim for 8 o'clock.

I'll have my assistant call you.

And great job.

Did she give you a production deal?

Not yet, but she's taking me to dinner, so we'll see.

Wow, good for you.

Here you go.

Thank you.

Walk with me?

Yeah.

Okay.

Tell me the truth.

Yeah?

I deserve this, right?

I'm not just fooling myself here, am I?

Lily, how can you even think that?

You are the most talented executive producer in town.

Nicole's a fool if she doesn't give you that deal.

Oh, I hope so.

Well, nobody deserves it more than you do.

As long as you don't forget about us little people, of course.

You do realize you're taller than me.

Oh, yeah.

I am.

One time.

Well, then I guess it's me who will be forgetting about you.

I'm going to get ready for dinner.

Are you okay setting up the Pineville office in the morning?

Yeah, of course.

But don't be too long.

I'm the one who went to college there, not me.

That was a long time ago.

I'm sure it's completely changed by now.

Okay.

But how long is it going to take me to get there tomorrow?

It's about four hours from L.A.

Okay.

I'll see you at lunchtime.

Okay.

Well, good luck tonight.

And Lily, you deserve this.

Thank you.

Would you like to be seated at your table now?

Not just yet.

I think I'm going to wait a little longer.

Thank you.

Just let me know when you're ready.

Nicole?

Hi.

Do I have the wrong restaurant?

Oh, no.

No.

It's no problem.

I totally understand.

Let's go.

Let's reschedule when you come up for air.

Okay.

Thank you.

We have room here if you'd like to join us.

No.

Thank you.

Excuse me.

Yes?

Could I get the menu, please?

I think I'm at orders in takeout.

Where do you want to set up the edit bay?

Probably in the back office.

But let's just hold off until Lily gets here.

Okay.

Bye.

Bye.

Please tell me you're on the way.

I'm just about to.

How's it going up there?

How do you think?

It's running like a well-oiled machine.

I knew I shouldn't have asked.

No, seriously.

We should be up and running before lunch.

Good.

Good to hear.

Hey, how did your meeting with Nicole go?

Oh, she never made it.

She had a problem at another show and she had to bail at the last minute.

Oh, that's a bummer.

Yeah.

It happens.

It just... It would have been nice to get some good news before we started filming.

I mean, we run a really tight production.

Everyone knows that.

Of course they do.

They are going to give you that production deal, Lily.

It's only a matter of time.

In the meantime, we have a show to shoot.

Okay, see you.

Thank you.

Extra cinnamon, low on the foam.

I'm pretty sure you'll like it, but if by some

chance you don't, you're welcome to come back.

We can try again.

Hi there.

Hi.

What would you like?

Oh, how's your espresso?

Tell me.

It's amazing.

Sentiments, exactly.

I'll take eight of those assorted flavors, please, because if

I show up to the office empty-handed, it will not go over well.

Okay.

Is it still tradition to do the River Dunk on the first day of the semester?

It is indeed.

Is it safe to assume you're not a tourist?

Pineville alumna.

What about you?

Working on my PhD in English Lit.

English Literature.

That was my major.

Do you by chance know Professor Michelle Townsend?

I hope so.

I've been her assistant for two years.

No way.

Can you tell her that I said hello?

Lily Bellinger.

Did you move to New York and have some of your work published?

Yeah.

How could you possibly... Professor Townsend talks about you occasionally.

She even uses one of your short stories as a how-to for freshman students.

Wow.

That just made my week.

Thank you, Josh.

Oh, you're welcome.

I'll let her get your coffees.

Okay, everybody, listen up.

Let's put editing in this office over here so they don't bother us.

We don't bother them.

Main production, you can take over the center of the floor.

And we'll put accounting in that office over there.

Tandy, can we ask the hotel manager if he can put a double lock on that door for us?

Yeah.

All right, that's it for now, guys.

Thank you.

What's up?

I just got off the phone with casting.

Apparently one of our couples got cold feet.

They're pulling out of the show.

All right.

What about their backups?

Well, we had two.

One couple went away on a last-minute vacation, and the second broke up.

All right.

Well, we can't make the show without three couples.

So let's put out a social media blast for a casting call and find some local people.

Cool.

There's got to be another couple in this area that wants to get married on TV.

Okay.

Brynn, you do realize we're an antique store,

which means we primarily sell old stuff?

Sure.

As long as you realize that we are also a business that needs to make money.

Fair enough.

Look.

What do you think?

I sold six of these on the website last week.

Oh.

I like it.

What do T-shirts from my shop have to do with the lifestyle brand website?

It's a stepping stone.

First I sell T-shirts, then I sell cosmetics,

and then I sell a whole line of accessories.

Ah.

The website just features style and fashion right now, but eventually we're

going to move to wellness, food, and travel.

At least, that's the plan.

Yeah.

Well, I wouldn't bet against you that's for sure.

Scott, this is incredible.

What's incredible?

You know that TV show about weddings that's

filming over the next two weeks, Wedding Countdown?

No.

Diana just saw on a social media blast that they

are looking for a third engaged couple to compete.

Diana the dog groomer?

With the... No.

Diana, my old college roommate who lives in Los Angeles.

She be wearing those T-shirts with the holes in them?

She created the website with me.

Ah.

Yes.

Yes.

That would make more sense.

But what does that have to do with us?

No.

Just listen.

I know what you're going to say, but they would give us $15,000 to plan our wedding.

Absolutely not.

And if we win, they would give us $50,000.

We've only been engaged for like a couple weeks, and you

wanted a long engagement so you'd have more time to plan it.

You said so.

That's true, but think of everything we could do with that money.

You know how I feel about shows like this.

They're the downfall to civilization.

Scott.

I can't.

Come on.

It would only be two weeks of filming, and this could be a huge difference for us.

And Diana said it would be a great promotion for our website, and it would

definitely bring in more business for the store.

I mean, these TV shows pull in like a million viewers a week.

Diana said, huh?

Mm-hmm.

Well, I guess we could use $50,000 for a down payment on the house.

Absolutely.

And it could also pay for a few extended trips to Los Angeles.

You know what?

Sure.

Let's do it.

Why not?

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

You will not regret this.

I promise.

Okay.

It's really good.

We're almost there.

But I would love if we could hold a two-shot of the bride and the groom just

gazing into each other's eyes for as long as possible.

Their entire life just changed.

I really want the audience to feel that.

Good morning.

Uh-oh.

I know that look.

That's either really good news or really bad news.

It's really good news.

Oh.

Brynn Matthews.

And where's the fiancé?

Uh, we're getting some photos with him this afternoon.

Are they local?

Yeah.

Uh, he runs a beautiful antique store about five blocks from here.

And she just started her own lifestyle brand website.

Well, she looks great on camera.

I'm assuming that he does, too.

But we're gonna have to see a photo otherwise.

Really good find.

Thanks, Bob.

What else do we know about him?

The future bride's an open book.

She is all the time.

She's all over social media due to said lifestyle brand website.

But the groom is a bit of a different story.

That's rare and refreshing.

They don't exactly sound like the perfect

match, but maybe that'll work out in our favor.

We'll find out more when we meet them at their pre-interview today.

All right.

Sounds good.

Good job.

Thanks.

So, I guess you could say Danny and I met totally by accident.

He was supposed to be meeting someone on a blind date for coffee, and so was I.

And we both mistook each other for the people we were supposed to meet.

By the time our real dates arrived, it was too late.

We were hooked on each other.

And the rest, as they say, is history.

That's perfect.

Why don't you tell me a little bit more about

what type of wedding you've got planned?

We're going for more of a handmade, eco-friendly wedding.

I even made our wedding rings out of repurposed steel and wood.

Except for her engagement ring, of course, no.

That was my grandmother's.

And I made my own wedding gown out of material from a local antique store.

And I asked my bridesmaids to just wear a dress they already own.

I mean, why not, right?

Who says we can't get married and help save the planet?

Okay.

All right.

Well, that's enough for now.

That's a cut.

That was great, you two.

Thank you so much.

Great.

Lily.

The third couple is running a little late, but they should be here soon.

All right.

I think we're okay on time.

Everyone take five until the next couple gets here.

Hello?

Lily.

Nicole.

Sorry about canceling the other night.

How are things going up there?

Yeah, we're good.

We're good.

We're up and running, and we've got three terrific couples.

That's great news.

I gotta say, you may be the only show currently

in production that I don't have to worry about.

Oh, that's nice of you to say.

Thanks, Nicole.

Well, it's the truth, and I'm making sure everyone over here at the network knows it.

Wow.

Wow.

I don't know what to say.

You don't have to say anything.

Just promise me you'll continue to keep all of the

drama in front of the camera and not behind it.

Nicole, my reputation speaks for itself.

The shoot will run like clockwork.

Trust me.

Well, that's great news.

Listen, I gotta go.

Let's run.

Talk soon.

Okay.

Lily.

I'd like you to meet our third bride.

Hi.

This is Bryn Matthews.

Hi.

Down, boy.

Oh, hi.

I'm so sorry.

No, don't be.

Wow, he's friendly.

He never takes to people this easily.

Aww.

How long have you had him?

Actually, Ollie belongs to my fiancé.

Wait a minute.

Did you say Ollie?

Sorry I had to close up the shop.

Am I late?

This is my fiancé, Scott Myers.

Scott, this is... This is, um... I'm sorry, I didn't quite get your name.

Lily.

Lily Bellinger.

Lily's the executive producer, so be nice.

That's great.

Hi, Lily.

Hey.

Can I talk to you for a sec?

In private?

Uh, sure.

What's, uh, wrong?

Um, just, uh, give us a sec.

Maybe.

Looks like somebody's getting cold feet.

Maybe this wasn't what he thought it would be.

No, it's, um...

It's worse than that.

What do you mean?

That's my ex-boyfriend.

Look, all I'm saying is that maybe the timing isn't right.

I mean, we're throwing this whole thing together in such a rush.

Should we just hold off and throw a proper wedding like we always planned?

Wait, why the sudden reluctance?

You agreed to be part of this with me, didn't you?

I did, but... But what?

I cannot believe that you and group number three used to date.

I mean, what are the odds?

What are the odds?

Oh, is it serious?

How long were you guys together?

Tandy, I promise I'll tell you everything.

But all you need to know right now is that it was a clean break.

And that can affect the show.

Okay, well, are you sure?

Because that didn't exactly look like the warmest reunion I've ever seen.

Okay, okay.

I'll go talk to him, make sure everything's okay.

Tandy, go to two.

Go for Tandy.

Lily is needed back at base camp.

Something to do with Night Kermit.

Copy that.

They need you back at base.

You know what?

You go.

I will talk to those two.

Thanks, Tandy.

Okay, there's something you probably should know before we... Sorry.

Guys, is everything okay?

I'm so sorry.

We're holding everybody up, aren't we?

No, not at all.

It's just we're on a super tight schedule.

We want to get started.

Of course.

I'm ready.

It's going to be fine.

Trust me.

Hmm?

Okay.

Great.

Come on.

Quick.

Quick.

Quick.

Quick.

Quick.

Quick.

Quick.

Hey.

Hey.

I heard the interviews went well.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I guess so.

Listen, if I know you were... I had no idea...

Okay, go ahead.

You go ahead.

I was going to...

This is a little too awkward.

Yeah.

Tell me about it.

I'm assuming from Brynn's reaction that you haven't told her about us.

Yes.

Not exactly.

She knows I have someone in my life, but there was never

any real need to go into any detail about you until now.

Right.

Yeah, totally understand.

Yeah.

That being said, I think you're probably gonna have to tell her.

No, yeah, I was about to.

But then we got sidetracked with all of this.

Right, yeah.

Aw, I can't believe he still remembers me after all this time.

What?

You kidding me?

I once played an old video of one of our old

trips and he flipped when he heard your voice.

Oh.

I mean, I was cleaning up through the closet and it kind of rolled out.

Kind of, I don't even know if it worked.

I get it.

Which trip was it?

Yosemite.

That was a great week.

Right.

I can't believe we climbed Half Tome.

Yeah.

Yeah, I better...

I gotta get to my desk.

Yeah, Brenda's probably trying to wake up.

Yep.

So, it was good seeing you again, Lily.

Yeah, you too.

You too.

And I'm glad you found someone.

Thanks.

Yeah.

Smooth, Lily.

So, how long do you need me to pretend that

nothing went on between you and groom number three?

Just a ballpark figure.

There's really not much to tell.

We met here in college.

We started dating our freshman year.

And after we graduated, we moved to New York

so I could become a very successful writer.

Scott got a job as a photographer at an auction house.

Sounds like the perfect little love story so far.

So, what went wrong?

The promise of fame and fortune.

A talent agent read a short story that I happened to get published.

And next thing you know, I get a job offer as a

staff writer on this new one-hour drama series.

Only catch is, it's shot in L.A.

Wow.

Good for you.

He was in the middle of a big project at work.

So, we both decided that it'd be best if he just stayed

in New York and came out if things worked out for me.

Makes sense.

Yeah, except the show barely lasted one season before it was canceled.

So, what, you moved back to New York after?

No.

I got another job.

Kept going.

So, we tried to do the long-distance thing, but... I know.

That didn't work out.

Until fate brought you two back together.

I don't believe in fate.

The past is the past.

What does that even mean?

Well, it means he's getting married, and I'm here to make a show about it.

Hey.

So, uh, Megan and her sister and mom are outside.

They're all ready to go, but makeup just needs about five more minutes.

Okay, great.

Um, try to keep everyone quiet out there, because we might only get one shot at this.

Got it.

Well, look at all these dresses.

Maybe I should buy one for my special day.

You're not even dating anyone, Tani, are you?

A girl can dream.

Seriously, you've never thought about trying on wedding dresses?

Almost.

Once in New York.

Spill.

I was walking with someone in Upper East Side, and we passed this magnificent

bridal boutique that had a long display of beautiful wedding dresses behind the glass.

And the way the light hit the window, it looked like I was wearing one.

So we were just being silly, going from dress to

dress, critiquing how I looked in the reflection.

Until... until Scott said that we should go inside and

pretend that we were engaged, so I could actually...

Anyway, it was a long time ago.

All right, let's clear set, everyone.

Roll cameras.

Tandi, can you bring everyone in?

Yeah, sure.

Okay, they're ready.

Quiet, please.

Okay, uh, so the next shot we're getting is a friend picking up her wedding favors.

That's right, she ordered them online.

Yeah.

I wonder if Scott was able to get his tuxedo.

Well, why don't you ask him yourself?

Maybe I should say hello?

Do you need a chaperone?

Beat it.

That's a beautiful subject.

Oh, hey there.

Oh, did you by any chance talk to Brynn about us?

I tried, but she's been so busy with the website and the wedding details,

I haven't been able to find the right time.

I'm sure it's no big deal.

I just...

I don't want her to pull out at the last

minute because it waited a while to tell her.

Trust me, Lily.

There's nothing that's going to stop her from being on your show.

Nothing.

Okay.

I trust you.

Well, thank you.

Oh, I almost forgot.

In an hour, we're going to shoot Brynn at the

post office picking up her wedding favors.

Could you do me a favor and drive her there?

It would be really great to capture both of you

on screen as she opens it for the first time.

Yeah, sure.

No problem.

I was just headed to the park to finish this roll of film.

Want to join?

Yeah.

Well, I've been wondering what happened with your first job in New York.

Well, you know, typical stuff.

Downsizing.

After that, the prospect of me trying to make it as a freelance photographer in

that city really didn't appeal to me very much.

But you know what?

A funny thing happened.

After taking so many photos of antiques for the auction

house, I actually developed a real passion for history.

So I came back here and... what's that?

Found a place to rent and my shop.

Was born.

Good for you.

It is.

Although, truth be told, Brynn has recently expressed

a desire to move back to your neck of the woods.

Diana, her business partner, lives in Los Angeles

and keeps telling her that LA is the place to be.

Is that what you want to do?

Not really.

I like it here.

But you know, nothing's in stone yet.

Enough about me and my life.

What about you?

Why'd you stop writing?

Don't tell me you gave it up indefinitely.

Sort of.

I mean, as you probably know, we sometimes have

to add storylines to the shows that I make.

There's not a whole lot of reality in reality TV these days, so that helps fill

some of the void that was there when I stopped writing fictional stories.

Looks like we both got thrown down some unexpected paths, didn't we?

Yeah.

Yeah, but you know, it's... it's good.

I have a job that I like and it pays the bills.

Could be worse.

Well, last shot here, but...

You know what?

I think I could use your help.

No.

Scott, come on.

Don't.

I look terrible.

Excuse me?

Am I not helping you out with the scene for

your reality show in, like, less than an hour?

Not fair.

At least you could do a pose for one photo.

Come on.

The lighting is great, and... you look beautiful.

So let me just... wait a second.

Not my touch.

Hey, guys.

I have been looking for you.

Hey.

Hey.

What's up?

Tammy said she needed Scott and me to take some

publicity photos before I go pick up the wedding favors.

More like we.

Looks like I'm driving you now.

Lily thought it'd be a good idea to help improve the emotion on the camera.

Lily, great idea.

I'm glad you like it.

Well, I should get back to base camp, and you guys

might want to head over to the photo shoot soon.

Excellent.

Honey?

Oh, I like this.

Mwah.

You look great.

Thank you.

I love this.

Hey.

Hey.

Those for me?

Actually, these are for us.

I stopped by the florist on the way back from the vital shop, and I chose these

three types of flowers for you to choose for our centerpieces.

Okay.

So what am I looking at here?

Purple irises, yellow ranunculus, and the very exotic lily of the Incas.

Huh.

Based on what?

Based on the space and the color we chose for the reception, I like the ranunculus.

What do you think?

I agree.

Yellow it is.

Cool.

Hey, so remember when I told you about a

serious relationship I had before you, right?

Yeah.

What about her?

Well, you're not going to believe this, but she's actually back in town.

At least for a little while.

Really?

Yeah.

Have you seen her yet?

I have.

In fact, we both have.

What do you mean?

You're not making any sense?

You're not going to believe.

So, actually, um, my ex is the TV show producer, um, Lily Bellinger.

I

mean, yeah, you'll be there on the day to deal with this.

I'm not so alive, but I just want to make sure that everyone is aware.

that we have backup wardrobe options for family members.

Tandy, would you mind the store while I find someplace quiet to work on the budget?

Sure.

I'll text you if anything comes up.

Thank you.

Oh, excuse me.

Ma'am, you dropped your credit card.

Oh!

Professor Townsend!

Lily!

Oh!

Oh, Ma!

I can't believe it!

It's me.

Oh, my dear, I'm in shock.

Look at you!

At your old table, I remember you just like this.

It's been a while, hasn't it?

It certainly has.

Do you remember that short story that you wrote during your senior year?

I still use that as an example for my first year students.

I actually heard one of your students that works at the coffee shop told me.

I am very flattered.

So what are you up to these days?

Writing the great American novel, I hope.

Well, life took me in a slightly different direction.

It happens.

As long as you're happy.

I am.

Thank you.

Good.

Well, if you'll excuse me, I'm actually late for a

class, but oh, it's wonderful to see you again, Lily.

Let's try to stay in touch this time.

I promise.

And think about writing again.

You owe it to yourself.

Fred

definitely gets points for going big.

Give her that.

Go big or go home.

You really think Nicole's going to go for this?

It may be a production challenge, but the results are going to be spectacular.

We've never done anything like this before, not by a long shot.

Tell me about it.

I did go for a hike this morning.

Imagine myself out on Walden Pond.

It used to help me clear my head, inspire writing.

Weird.

I haven't thought about that in a long time.

Sounds like you miss it.

Don't have time to miss it.

With our prep, production, planning, post.

It's only 24 hours in a day.

Well, somehow you always seem to find 25.

Back to work.

This location is tough, but we won't let this mountain get the best of us.

No.

This is going to be great.

Okay, so I think we should set up two cameras

on the altar so we can capture the ceremony.

And then let's put the generator far enough away to eliminate any noise.

All right?

Thank you.

So, this is what you do all day?

Ordering people around?

I don't like to think of it as ordering anything.

I consider it just making suggestions.

Ah.

Well, don't look now, but it looks like my fiancé is here.

My fiancé is making suggestions to Tandy.

Oh.

I can see that.

Don't worry.

Tandy can heal herself.

So, you'll be glad to know I told Brynn about us.

Good.

Good.

Yeah, how did she react?

Surprised, to say the least.

But then she was fine.

You know, to her, the past is the past.

Couldn't agree more.

It's good that you came clean.

We can just move on.

Lily!

Oh, and I forgot my mom's in town.

Is that you?

Patricia!

Oh.

How are you?

Better, now that I'm seeing you.

Scott, you never said you invited Lily to the wedding?

Actually, Mom, Lily is the producer on the TV show I told you about.

You're kidding.

What are the odds of that happening?

You haven't aged a bit.

Oh, you're too kind.

Thank you.

It's the truth.

Get over here.

Patricia!

You're here!

I know.

So good to see you.

Thank you.

Uh, hey.

Um... Can I talk to you?

I just wanted to let you know that everything is good between us.

Between me and you, I'm glad that you turned out to be the mystery girl.

Shows me that Scott's always had good taste.

That's really nice of you to say, Brynn.

Thank you.

Mm-hmm.

I just had a great idea.

Why don't we all go to dinner tomorrow night?

Hmm?

Yeah.

Yeah!

Why not?

Yeah!

We can go to that new place, Chez Louis.

It's very trendy.

At least for pie, Bill.

Don't listen to him, Lily.

You'll love it.

Sweetie, come on.

I want to show you what I was thinking of doing during our vows.

Oh, okay.

Okay.

Yeah.

That's going to be my daughter-in-law.

I think it's great.

It's great.

She's got really... positive energy.

That's one way of looking at it.

Well, I guess they'll let just about anyone in here now.

Jeff, hi.

When did you get here?

I flew in last night.

What, you thought I wouldn't come to my best friend's reality show wedding?

Do you really want me to answer that?

Well, that didn't take long, did it?

Seriously, it's good to see you, though.

Was Scott expecting you?

No.

I just came by to see the place in front of me.

I saw him in person before we started shooting here.

Do you know where they are?

I don't know where Bryn is, but Scott's out

running some errands and getting us some food.

Oh.

He left me in charge.

Yeah.

I told him it was a bad idea, but the man's buying me lunch, so I do what I'm told.

What you been up to lately?

I'm actually a therapist now.

Oh.

Wow.

That's one way to get people to listen to you.

Nice one.

What about you?

I hear you're a big-time movie producer now.

Yeah.

I don't know about all that.

I've been working in reality TV for several years now.

Well, as long as you're happy, that's all that matters, right?

Happy?

I guess.

Yeah.

Uh-oh.

Did I say something wrong?

It's just something I've been giving some thought to since I got back in town.

Well?

Are you happy?

Well, reality TV isn't what I dreamt of doing when I got to Los Angeles,

but I enjoy it.

Good.

That's good to hear.

So, switching gears, how was it seeing Scott after all this time?

Okay, do you take Visa or Mastercard, Doctor?

Well, I certainly accept both, but no, come on.

I'm just asking as a friend.

I'm a therapist.

Um, there's not a lot to say.

Of course, a lot of incredible memories came flooding back with me.

I saw him again.

That's to be expected.

But I guess I'm just happy that he's happy.

He deserves it.

Yeah, yeah, he does.

I mean, you both do.

Well, I'm sorry to break up the therapy

session, but I should get back to the office.

All right, well, I'll let him know you stopped by.

You know, just take it.

Yeah, it's on the house.

Okay.

It was a bad idea leaving you here by yourself.

I'll pay him for it.

All right.

Thanks, Jeff.

See ya.

Can we make sure that B camera gets a shot of the flower girl?

B?

Yeah.

Lily, I don't think this tie is working.

Should we speak with wardrobe?

Yeah, we could.

But between you and I, it's the first thing I noticed about you this morning.

Really?

Oh.

Well, in that case, never mind.

Hey.

Hey.

Whatcha working on?

It's just an idea for a story that I want to write.

Nice.

How's it going?

I literally haven't even started.

It's been a while since I used that part of my brain.

Well, I'm gonna go get a snack.

Do you want anything?

Oh, that's okay.

I'm going out to dinner with Brynn and Scott and his mom Patricia.

Remember?

You're still doing that?

Why wouldn't I?

It's gonna be great.

All of us together.

I can get to know Brynn, catch up with Patricia.

It'll be fun.

Or it could just be really awkward.

Stop.

It's not gonna be awkward.

Don't be a pessimist.

Okay, fine.

Maybe a little awkward.

You know, my mom and Brynn should be here, like, any minute now, so...

Just...

Oh.

It's Brynn.

Her website crashed and she's totally freaking out.

She's stuck on the phone with computer tech.

And my mom has jet lag.

So it looks like neither of them are gonna make it out tonight.

So... I guess it's... just us.

I mean, we could totally call her tonight.

There's no pressure.

I mean, we could... It's not a big deal.

We're just... just having dinner.

Yeah.

Cool.

Should we order?

Yeah.

Goose liver ravioli.

That sounds... interesting.

Head.

Cheese.

Terrine.

Hmm.

Not your average Primedale fare.

Beef cheek stroganoff.

Okay.

Yes, Mertel.

For today, we have our juicy right cheek stroganair.

When you put that fork in it, it will... Sorry.

Is Uncle Link's pizza still around the corner?

Come on, now.

You read my mind.

Let's do it.

It's so good.

Even better than I remember.

You know what?

It almost tastes as good as the pizza in New York.

Hey.

Hey, I said almost, okay?

So, I gotta say, I'm really impressed the way you and Brynn are just kind of

throwing this whole... wedding together.

What are you talking about?

Isn't that the basis of your whole show?

Yes, but never with anyone that I know or dated for so long.

Fair enough.

You guys, you met here in Pineville, right?

Yep.

She grew up here.

After the antique store was up and running, I realized I needed help with

marketing, so some other business owners recommended her, and the rest is history.

That's so sweet.

They look so much younger than we did at that age, don't they?

Speak for yourself.

I haven't aged a bit.

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.

I'm a big TV star now.

You better be careful.

Not yet.

I can always edit you out.

Good boy.

I really messed that up, didn't I?

I didn't handle it so well.

Handle what?

The breakup.

I kind of took the easy way out.

No, come on.

Would you stop?

That was years ago.

You don't owe me any explanations.

I know, I know.

I've just been thinking about that a lot since I saw you again.

Please, tell me you're not about to get all serious on me.

I'm not, I promise.

I just want you to know that when I got to Los

Angeles, all I could focus on was my career.

Sorry.

I get it.

When that scripted series ended, I took the reality TV job because I just

didn't want to look like a failure and go back home with my tail between my legs.

Yeah.

Well, you should be sorry, because you did mess up.

I mean, look at me.

I'm one of the hottest guys in Pineville.

Don't you stop.

I was trying to be serious.

Okay, okay.

I know, I'm... I was just kidding.

You know, when it gets too serious, I crack a joke.

How could I forget?

Well, I'm not gonna lie.

It wasn't easy losing you back then.

And yeah, it took me a while to get over you and finally find somebody else.

What are you gonna do?

Our timing just wasn't right.

That's, um...

That's Tammy just letting me know my call time.

Yeah, we should probably call her tonight.

Yeah.

Need me to walk you to your hotel?

No, that's okay.

It's just a block and a half.

Thank you.

And thanks for a wonderful evening.

Well, you're welcome.

Goodnight.

Goodnight.

Goodnight.

Just the two of you?

Interesting.

What?

Would you stop it?

Nothing happened.

Yeah, thankfully.

I knew I shouldn't have told you.

What?

Come on, Lily, by the way you described the evening,

it sounds like there was something in the air.

Tandy, it was completely innocent.

Trust me.

What?

Innocent or not.

Sounds like a date in my book.

Remind me never to read your book.

Can you at least admit there's a possibility there's still a story?

The spark?

Scott is getting married, as he absolutely should.

And I would never do anything to jeopardize that.

Okay?

Not to mention, I would never do anything to jeopardize the show, because if I did,

I could kiss my career goodbye.

Well, that is true.

And seeing as my career is linked to yours, maybe

we should just stay away from Scott from now on.

Okay?

What do you think?

I think you probably should have canceled

the dinner the moment Brynn and your mom did.

I was talking about the tux, Mr. Fancy Pants.

Besides, Brynn said she was cool with it.

Oh, Scott, you're such an innocent.

She was probably just testing you to see what you'd do.

You have been single for way too long, my friend.

Well, that's neither here nor there.

Look, there's a 50% chance that I'm wrong.

But if my math is correct, that means there's also a 50% chance that I'm right.

Just saying.

What?

Jeff, it was a slice of pizza with an old friend.

Yes, despite our history, I still consider

her to be an old friend, just like I do you.

Touché.

Look, for the record, I know you've always been a stand-up guy.

And I know you've always got the best of intentions.

I'm just trying to give you a heads-up.

The situation you're in could get real sticky in a hurry.

Yeah, I appreciate it.

But I hope you have faith in me to know that I'm...

I'm the kind of guy who always ends up doing the right thing.

Of course.

Without question.

Whatever happens, I'll stand by you.

You know that.

Yeah.

But don't forget, I was around when Lily broke up with you.

So you'll forgive me if I never want to see you go through that again.

You know what?

50% of the time, I have no idea what you're talking about, but the other 50,

you actually start making sense, my good man.

Yeah, you sound like one of my clients.

Wow.

This should be illegal.

The name is Beckman.

Jeff Beckman.

Right?

Someone had to do it.

I guess it's gonna be me.

Every time, basically.

Every time.

Is this the right text?

This is our Italian cream cake.

Almond coconut with a lovely mascarpone frosting.

It's one of our best sellers.

Interesting.

Okay.

What do you think, Patricia?

Delicious.

I like this a lot.

This is our ginger spice cake.

Also one of our most requested.

Hmm.

I think I like this one better.

The flavors are more intense.

I want it to be absolutely perfect.

What else do you have?

I think I have just the thing.

Hey, sorry I'm late.

Got held up trying on my tux.

How's the tasting going?

It's, uh, going.

That good, huh?

Let's just say it has been a work in progress.

Hmm.

Here we are.

This is our newest cake.

Pink champagne with raspberry mousse.

Mmm.

Mmm.

Mmm.

This is delicious.

I love it.

I agree.

This is a sure winner.

Mmm.

Here, Scott.

Taste some of this.

All right.

Mmm.

I like this one.

Yeah.

I'm gonna post these online.

See what my followers think.

Did I miss something?

She's talking about the subscribers that follow her all the time.

On the website she has, Mom.

You have, like, what?

25,000 followers now, Brynn?

Actually, it just reached 30,000 this week.

Oh.

When we get to over 100,000 or more, then they start

paying us to post for various brands and products.

This has all gone way over my head.

But what do I know?

I can't even program my cable TV.

In any case, I still think the last cake was fantastic.

For whatever this old lady's opinion is still worth.

Which way is your restroom?

In the back, to the right.

Excuse me.

Hey, can we talk for a sec?

Sure.

What's going on?

You seem distracted.

I'm just a little stressed, that's all.

I mean, I need a cake that's gonna have a wow factor for when I post to the website.

Even if it doesn't taste good?

Scott, there are gonna be a million or so people

that watch our episode of the Wedding Countdown.

And that's when a lot of them are gonna

decide whether or not they follow me online.

And subscribe to the website.

But part of that decision is based on if they identify

with me and like the choices I make during the show.

Since they can't taste the cake, their decision

is based solely on what the cake looks like.

Yeah, I get it.

But I decided to be a part of this with the understanding that the show would be a

part of our wedding, not the other way around.

It's not my goal to be a reality TV star.

My goal...

is to start a life with you.

And I respect that.

But I need you to support me on this the same way

that I've supported you with your antique store.

It's important to me.

Okay.

Yeah.

I know.

I will.

Thank you.

I promise.

Ladies and gentlemen, may I please have your attention.

It is my honor to present to you for the very first time, Mr. and Mrs.

James and Kimberly Gillis!

Well, I know we still have a week of shooting left,

but Kim and James are some serious contenders.

Lily?

Hello?

Earth to Lily?

Huh?

Hi.

You okay?

Yeah.

Sorry.

I'm... I'm fine.

Are you sure?

Because your phone's been buzzing off the hook and you haven't even noticed.

Oh.

Thank you.

Hello?

Lily, it's Nicole.

Nicole.

What's up?

Well, we've all just watched a cut of the first episode and I've got some great news.

We've decided to pick up the back six episodes for a full season commitment.

Congratulations.

A full season.

That's fantastic news.

Thank you so much.

No, thank you.

We're also going to make a big announcement in the press,

so do me a favor and keep it under wraps until then.

Yes.

Yes, of course.

The network's going to be shifting a lot of advertising dollars your way,

so we need to make sure that everything goes smoothly from here on out.

Doesn't it always?

With your productions, absolutely.

But we've got a lot riding on the wedding countdown

now that the Kings of Dallas is off the air.

Unlike Kings, I want to make sure that all of the drama on

your set stays in front of the camera... And not behind it.

Right.

I've said that before, haven't I?

You are fond of that request, yes.

Listen, I've got to run, but it looks like I may be coming up with a press crew in

the next few days, so hopefully we can finally get that dinner I owe you.

That sounds good.

And thanks again, Nicole.

You bet.

Was that Nicole?

Yes.

And?

We just got an order for the second half of the season.

So great!

I know, right?

She also asked that we don't have any issues on set.

None at all.

Strange, right?

No big deal.

It shouldn't be a problem.

Yeah.

What could possibly go wrong?

It was part of the arts and craft movement of the early 1900s.

Now, what you notice is that the design is very subtle.

I think that's...

Oh, I'm sorry.

Excuse me.

Hey, hey.

Hey.

How's the jet lag?

One hundred percent better.

Thanks, honey.

Sorry I was late.

I grabbed a coffee.

Oh, no problem.

Just, you know... Thanks for coming by to help me out.

Where is Brynn?

Well, she's back at her place on a video call with her maid of honor, Diana.

Something about the color of her wedding dress?

She certainly has her hands full.

She certainly does.

Hey, hold on a second.

Is everything okay?

Yeah.

No.

I just got a lot on my mind.

I don't want to be in the week of the wedding.

Is that all?

Yes.

It's just a little stress.

It could happen to anybody in our situation.

All I was just wondering is if you have any questions.

I don't know if it's because you're rushing into this.

I mean, there's a reason engagements usually last around a year.

Okay.

Okay, Mom.

Look.

I know you and Brynn haven't had a chance to bond, and I apologize, but I think if

you just... Son, I'm not talking about Brynn,

because if you love her, that's good enough for me.

I'm talking about turning your wedding into fodder for some TV show.

Your father and I were married for 30 years before he

died, and you know we certainly had our ups and downs.

But I'll never forget that.

I will never forget our wedding day.

It was full of laughter and joy and the love of family

and friends who all helped to make it so wonderful.

This one's the same thing for you.

That's all.

Thank you.

Yeah.

I really appreciate the advice.

I really do.

But I did make a commitment to Brynn to be a

part of the wedding show, and I'm gonna keep it.

Just like that one.

Thank you.

Mwah.

Mwah.

All right.

Hey.

Whoa.

Come on, little man.

All right.

That shouldn't be long.

Okay.

Come on.

Yo.

Easy.

Looking for someone?

Apparently, Ollie was.

Sorry if we're, uh, bothering you.

We can totally leave if you're... No.

No.

It's fine.

Come sit down.

Take a load off.

All right.

Thanks.

Bye.

Hey, wait a second.

That looks awfully familiar.

I owe you for this.

Jeff wouldn't let me pay.

Ha.

You know, I knew it was a bad idea to let him watch the store.

No, I'm just playing.

Think of it as a gift.

Just happy to see you writing again.

Thank you.

Me too.

This was your spot for four years.

I loved it.

I still do.

What brought you back?

Playing hooky?

Uh, more of an escape.

I thought I would take some time for myself for a change.

But your new journal, I see.

Yeah.

I'm not sure what did it but, something this week seems

to have cured a really long case of writer's block.

That's great.

Yeah.

That's good, Lilly.

Yeah so I thought I would sit down, get it all out, before the faucet closed back up.

Hey, don't jinx yourself.

Who knows?

It could be on for good.

I searched the whole world.

The world was three times over Through every closed and open door I didn't even

know what I was looking for That was the moment when only I found I found love,

I found love, I found love so true

And that was the moment when I knew I found you Hey, Diana.

How's it going?

Did we fix the issue with the site?

Yeah, I switched our web post and things are running much smoother now.

How about you?

How are things coming together?

I'm hanging in there.

It's been a little bit chaotic, but I think it is going to be a great wedding.

Well, don't be upset, but I have some bad news.

Oh no.

What?

I broke my ankle at an indoor climbing gym.

What?

How bad?

Oh, bad enough where I have to have surgery on it in less than a week.

Aw, I hope your surgery goes well.

Me too, but... The Wedding Countdown

producers are going to love hearing this news.

It'll make for a great twit.

Yeah, I hope so.

We'll feel better.

I'll call you next week.

Thank you.

What's the latest?

Well, I just finalized the menu for the reception with the caterer.

I think you're going to love it.

Wait, wait.

I thought we were going to work on it together.

It's okay.

I took care of everything.

I took a poll on the website.

They voted for the chicken almondine and the salmon with the capers.

You outsourced our wedding menu?

Scott, relax.

It's not a big deal.

Well, maybe it's a big deal to me.

I mean, I don't know.

Maybe I'd like to have a say.

I'm sorry you feel left out, but you have to

understand that I am under a lot of pressure here.

I respect that.

But I want to do this with you.

And not just learn about it when it airs on TV.

Fair point.

Okay.

Okay.

In keeping with that agreement, I guess

this is a good time for me to show you this.

I'm confused.

What am I looking at here?

Real estate listings in Silver Lake and Venice Beach.

As in Los Angeles?

Yeah.

You know, with all the exposure from the show.

Diana thought it would be a really good time

for me to, for us, to check out LA for a while.

You know, I don't know how you want me to respond to this.

Well, Scott, it's not the first time we've talked about it.

Yeah, but this is the first time we're having a serious discussion about it.

I mean, you're showing me a real estate listing days before our wedding, Britt.

I know, I know.

It's a lot to throw at you.

Just promise me you'll keep an open mind about it.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Just, as long as you remember, this is just a discussion.

We're just discussing it.

Okay.

Just discussing.

Can we just discuss these other listings that I found?

Excuse me, ma'am.

This table is reserved for locals only.

Since when?

Since 6 a.m.

this morning.

But I promised not to tell management if you let me share it with you.

No.

Deal.

So, how are you this morning?

I'm good.

Just working on the budget for the next episode.

Well, burning a candle to both ends, huh?

No, I just, you know, I like to be prepared.

Yeah.

I remember that about you.

What about you?

What brings you out this early?

Well, believe it or not, I haven't finished my vows, so... Oh.

Hmm.

The procrastinator.

I remember that.

Well, we can work in silence if you want.

Get that done.

Uh, actually, I wouldn't mind some feedback.

If that's okay.

Sure.

Yeah.

Great.

Uh, read me what you got.

Okay.

Now, this is a work in progress, remember, so please be kind.

Go for it.

All good.

Dear Brynn, from this day forward, I promise you will always have a shoulder

to cry on, a date for the movies, a caretaker when you're sick, and a person

to laugh with you when you're happy, and someone to always kiss you in the rain.

I vow to be all those things for you and more for the rest of our lives.

All right, go on.

Tell me you hate him.

No.

No, I think it's sweet.

Yeah, if there was one bit of advice I would

give, I would say make it more romantic.

A little bit more passionate.

Uh, not exactly my strong suit, as you know.

I know, but try to remember, this is a day that she's dreamed

about since she was a little girl, so you need to feel intimate.

I hear you.

And I would put, um, something powerful right at the end.

Something like, um...

Every moment that I look at you, I...

hope that my heart always feels...

like it does in this moment...

as I love you...

more than life itself.

That's good.

Yeah, I...

That's good.

I like that.

Great.

Mm-mm.

No, you can't... you can't use that line, though.

You gotta come up with your own version.

Right.

Uh-huh.

Well, thanks for your help, Lily.

I... I really appreciate it.

Anytime.

Oh.

Holy!

Look at you!

I leave you alone for, like, a couple hours, and you end up filling up the place.

Well, I'd love to tell you I had anything to do with this, but almost everyone here

has been asking if this is where the wedding show is shooting.

Yeah.

Seems like word is getting out, but I don't know if

people here to buy antiques or show up on camera.

Well, I'm kind of surprised you're even open today.

You're just 24 hours to go before the wedding.

Yeah, well, to tell you the truth, the TV show wedding staff did most of the

work prepping for the wedding, and, uh, Brynn took care of the rest.

So it wasn't a lot left for me to do but to show up.

So you've made it clear to me that you'd rather remind my own business,

but can I just say one last thing?

Okay.

Please.

You need to think long and hard about what you're about to do tomorrow, because Brynn

is a nice person, and it's obvious you care about her.

But commitment or no commitment, you both have to consider the possibility

that you might not be meant for each other.

Well, as always, thank you for your honesty.

Okay.

And with that, my work is done here, and I'm off to pick up my dress.

Well, travel safe.

Well, I love you, dear.

I love you, too, Mama.

How's it looking for you, boss?

It's good.

I want at least one camera to stay on Brynn the entire time.

You know, hold on.

Hey, so remind me again.

Are you going without a bridesmaid on the day?

Yeah.

Unfortunately, she had an emergency, so she won't be able to make it.

If that's a problem... No, no, not at all.

I just wanted to be clear so the director knew

if she was cutting to someone next to you or not.

It's all good.

No bridesmaid on this one.

Copy.

What do you got, Tandy?

I think we should boom up to their hands to see the ring exchange.

Beautiful.

I love it.

Camera one.

Boom up to see the ring exchange.

That's perfect.

All right.

That's a wrap on rehearsal.

See you at the wedding.

It was terrific.

That was great.

I'm so excited for the wedding.

I promise to send you out with style.

Thanks, Lily.

You know, I have to admit, you actually look like you know what you're doing here.

I'm impressed.

Thanks, Jeff.

I think there was a compliment in there somewhere.

You're welcome.

How was the run-through for you?

Yeah, it felt pretty good.

Everything okay?

Mm-hmm.

Yeah, just so much going on.

So...

You know what?

Before everyone scatters, Scott, would you guys mind heading over to wardrobe?

I think they made some adjustments to your tuxedo.

Just want to make sure they fit.

Sure.

Sounds great.

See you later?

Maybe I'm reading into this too much, but is something bothering you?

Me?

No.

No, I'm fine.

Really.

You can talk to me if you need to.

It's my job.

Thank you.

I appreciate that.

You're picking up your wedding dress later today, right?

Yeah.

Do you want me to tag along?

Extra set of eyes?

I'd love that.

Now, we'll be playing.

Okay.

I'm going to go with your favorite metal piece.

So this is it here.

I'm just gonna try it on real quick to make sure it doesn't need any adjustments.

It's not going to bite you, Lily.

Try it on.

No.

No.

I was just looking.

I'm just here for you.

You came along with me to help cheer me up, right?

Yeah, sure.

To support you.

Mm-hmm.

And help get me out of my funk, right?

Right?

Well the only thing that is going to do that

is if we start trying on some dresses together.

So what do you say?

I will never make fun of runway models again.

I agree.

That was hard work.

I needed that.

I feel like I've been in work mode for two months straight on this show.

I envy you.

You have a career in Los Angeles that you love?

I don't know about love.

It's okay.

I guess the question for me now is what to do next.

What do you mean?

Well, I think I'm on the verge of a major deal with the network that airs this show.

Which would inevitably tie me up for the next two to three years making reality TV.

Am I missing something here?

I'm waiting for the bad news.

Ever since I got back into town after being away for so long this old passion

that I had for writing has just come flooding back.

Well that's good, isn't it?

I don't know.

We'll see.

Enough about me.

How about you?

Do you want to talk about anything?

I think Scott and I are just starting to realize that the differences we used to

find so charming are starting to cause problems the closer we get to the wedding.

That stuff always works itself out over time.

It didn't with you and Scott.

You got me there.

I guess all I can say is that Scott is a good, honest, loyal

guy who's going to be a stable and calming partner for you.

But I'm the complete opposite.

I love change.

Anything exciting and different.

That's the problem.

That stuff it just takes time.

You guys will figure it out.

You think so?

Yes.

I really do.

It's been a long day.

We should get out of these dresses and let everyone close up shop.

I'm heading home.

You staying late tonight?

Yeah, I need about another hour to finish going through this footage.

What is this?

Just some behind the scenes stuff.

Well, if you want to sleep in an extra half

hour I can get things started in the morning.

Oh, that reminds me.

They're picking up Nicole tomorrow at 9am.

Alright, thanks for handling that.

Okay, well, remember to dress for success.

I'll wear whatever's clean.

Diana, hey.

How's the ankle?

I'm fine.

Surgery's in two days.

I didn't wake you, did I?

No.

No, not at all.

I still have to go over the seating plan for the reception.

Nice, but save your energy.

For what?

My wedding gift to you.

I just had a late dinner with the people who run Trendbenders.

Wait, I've heard of them.

They're a huge marketing agency, right?

Yep.

They have taken quite an interest in our website and they

want to discuss how we can become part of their group.

What?

That's amazing.

Brynn, I completely understand your situation but this website is gaining

traction and I just can't keep doing these meetings by myself.

I know.

I just have to wait for the right time to discuss things with Scott.

His antique store means the world to him and he's

already skeptical about the move to Los Angeles.

It's not going to be an easy conversation.

Right now we're just trying to get through the last day before the wedding.

Okay.

Get some sleep.

Thanks.

Good night.

It's been a race against the clock, but everything seems to be on time for

Brynn and Scott's last minute dream wedding.

Can these two top our previous two fantastic

weddings and take home our grand prize of $50,000?

It's anyone's guess.

And cut!

This rain is ruining my hair.

Is that one okay for you?

You know, Lily normally makes that call but I have no idea where she is.

You know what, let's take one more for safety.

Maybe put more of a smile in it this time.

What?

Nothing.

That's exactly what Lily would have said.

Candy, the wedding couple wants to move to Plan B.

Okay.

Guys, we're moving to Plan B.

The wedding couple has decided to move the ceremony inside.

I have to say, I think that's a good idea.

Lily!

You finally decided to take my suggestion of sleeping in, huh?

Everything in place?

Let's shoot this thing and get out of here, huh?

Uh, yeah, about that.

There's been a small change of plans.

Brynn, at least stay with me.

I promise.

I thought the groom wasn't supposed to see the bride.

I was just waiting for the wedding.

Just checking in on you.

No, I'm good.

You know, just waiting to be told where to go.

Right.

Everything alright?

Have you, um...

given any more thought to the possibility of us moving to Los Angeles?

I have.

And?

And I'm not sure yet.

You know about my time in New York.

And why I had to come back to Pineville.

I do.

But New York and Los Angeles are like night and day.

And look, we'd still be in sunny California.

Right?

It's only a couple hours drive away.

Yeah.

Yeah, I hear what you're saying, Brynn.

I don't want to support you.

I do.

But I just... don't see myself moving from here again.

I mean, this is my home.

Where my business is.

Where I hope we start a life together.

But I'm beginning to realize you have to be true to yourself, too.

We both do.

Even if that means...

we can't force each other to be people.

We're not.

And you shouldn't sacrifice what you want.

And neither should I.

It wouldn't be fair to either of us.

In a way, it's probably good that this TV show came about.

I mean, it helped us realize how different we are from one another.

Yeah.

I was thinking the same thing.

So I guess... this is it, then?

But I want you to know, though...

I will always care for you and be rooting for you wherever you are.

I know.

You were a good man, Scott Myers.

One of the best.

You'll go get him in L.A.

I will.

Everything okay?

Everyone's looking for you, too.

And I've never looked this good in my entire life.

So, come on.

It's go time.

Yeah.

It is.

What just happened?

Does anybody have eyes on the bride and groom?

Lily.

Hi.

How are you?

Welcome to town.

Thanks.

I thought I'd surprise you with a crew from the local news station.

That's great.

Hi.

So we checked every trailer and base camp.

The PAs are looking all over Main Street, but there's no sign of them yet.

Okay.

Thank you.

You can go.

Did I get here at a bad time?

No.

Not at all.

We're just working out a few kinks.

You know how it is.

So, before the wedding starts, I wanted to pass on some other good news.

The network has decided to give you an exclusive two-year overall production deal.

That's amazing!

Amazing!

Is that all you're gonna say?

My friends, I'm afraid I have some unfortunate news.

Due to some unforeseen circumstances, the wedding has been called off.

Tandy, hi.

Lily, where have you been?

I've been walking all over for you.

Oh, I've been right here, not answering the phone.

Have you been up all night?

Yeah.

Yeah, I've been working on this...

this letter.

To who?

Nicole and to the network.

It's my official letter of resignation.

What?

You're leaving?

What?

Lily!

I... I talked to Nicole about it last night.

I just...

I...

I just don't have it in me anymore.

She didn't disagree after what happened last night on set.

I think she would have left all that drama in front of the camera.

It was my decision to leave the show.

Lily, are you sure this is what you want?

You've worked so hard to get to this point.

Yeah, but it was only after getting to this point

that I realized how far off course I really am.

I had my dream job.

I hit one little bump in the road and I went

and found the closest safety net that I could.

Don't... Don't get me wrong.

I've been proud of every show I've produced.

But...

it's time to get back on track.

No more distractions.

Well, you do seem to have that spark back in your eyes.

Yeah, I haven't felt like this in a long time.

So...

I made the right call.

Right now, I just want to clear my head and not worry

about anything so that I can focus on my writing.

Do you have enough put away to hold you over?

Yeah.

I'll be fine.

It's good to hear.

Have you heard from Scott yet?

Not yet.

Are you okay?

I'll be fine.

Don't worry about me.

You've got bigger fish to fry now.

What are you talking about?

If you don't have a job, neither do I.

Which is fine.

Or maybe I'll take that trip to Machu Picchu.

I've always wanted to go there.

I don't know why.

Tandy, you're not going anywhere.

What do you mean?

You just said you were quitting.

Well, I hate to steal Nicole's thunder, but...

congratulations, Miss Executive Producer.

Wedding countdown is yours now.

Yeah, right.

I talked to Nicole about it last night, and she couldn't agree more.

You have earned this.

It's your time now.

I don't know what to say.

Don't say anything.

Just make me proud.

Can I make one suggestion?

Sure.

You're in charge now.

When you're ready, talk to Scott.

It might take some time, but...

aye aye, sir.

Hi, Ollie.

Hey, boy.

Hey.

Long time no see.

Sorry.

I didn't mean to intrude.

I was hoping we could talk.

Yeah, me too.

I know you had quite the mess to clean up at work.

Yeah, well, turns out you don't have to stay and clean

up the mess if you don't work on the show anymore.

I was just in L.A., tying up loose ends.

Oh.

Wow.

I'm sorry.

It's fine.

I'm the one who left.

It was my call.

Yeah, still, it's...

it's gotta be tough.

Not as tough as what you went through.

I'm really sorry about you and Brynn.

Yeah, well, you know, it was definitely the best thing for both of us.

It's good that you found out before the wedding.

Like, actually minutes before, but...

still.

Hey.

You hungry?

Want to grab a bite?

Yeah.

Sure.

Ellen's okay?

Always is.

And so much time at this table.

Didn't we?

I still remember our first date.

I couldn't get a word in edgewise.

That's right.

Yeah.

Surprised you didn't run for the hills right then and there.

Oh, no, I loved it.

I was so nervous.

I was just glad you did all the talking.

It was a wonderful night.

Yeah.

It was.

Hey.

Hey.

Hey.

I shouldn't have ended things the way I did.

I know.

I shouldn't have ended things the way I did.

And I never should have left you in New York like that.

Well, you see, that's where you're wrong.

You never left me, Lily.

You were always in my heart.

I knew it from the moment I saw you again.

I just didn't want to admit it.

These past couple of weeks, I've been thinking about doing some writing again.

What would you think about me doing that here in Pineville?

A reboot?

More like a new story.

One with a happier ending.

Hmm.

I like that.

I was hoping you would.
