Original subtitles

yeah yeah

Amber picking her nose

technically scratching the sign

but yes that's what it looks like

and just as she's pouring her heart out to Josh

apparently that's the only shot we have of her speech

we were gonna camera operator that day

well now we have nothing else to cut to

and the network's gonna be here any minute

Claire you're the producer

we cannot have a nose picker winning

the most popular dating show on national television

Josh was wearing a gray blazer

and a white shirt in the finale right

yeah he was wearing something similar the day before

certainly a white shirt

there's a shot of him looking lovingly at Amber

I'll tell the editor to cut to that shot

right before Amber touches her face

if we punch in on him

that should work Claire

you're a genius

I just know we've shot

I'll see you soon

hey hi so um

all good your editor said it works seamlessly

I didn't know Tony was here

do you know Tony well we haven't been introduced huh

it's one of those for me

yeah um cashew milk with a bit of sweetener

you're the best Claire

you know the only reason he still has that

job is because you make him look good

blaze isn't completely hopeless

you book Sage as a suitor for next season

you mean the YouTube star

who does all the makeup tutorials

yeah but she has something like 29 million followers

mostly under the age of 25

but blaze thinks that

she'll bring in a younger demographic

yeah and blaze will be expecting you to wrangle her

yeah probably

it starts in 5 minutes

do you wanna go to the conference room

do you actually wanna watch the finale

I was planning on going home

and reading Plumbrook tonight Plum

haven't you read that book like 100 times

yes I have because that's my favorite book of all time

no this is tradition

it is pizza and bittersweet reflection

over the last four months of our lives

before we decide to do it all over again good point

is Andre coming back next season

he's on that ghost hunting show

ouch was his choice to leave

what if you broke up with him

no I mean it was his choice to leave head over heels oh

well maybe you'll find someone better on season 12

oh no no no

I'm never dating a guy that I work with again wow

talk about limiting your options with your schedule

that leaves the doorman and the pizza delivery guy

well for the record

I would choose the pizza delivery guy any day

really best pie in the city

are we watching this or not take your pizza

if Amber doesn't win this thing

there's something wrong with the universe

God where is he

it's about to start

oh he was dropping some hail off when I left oh

hey sis I'm here

rhubarb well

you know me I don't like to show up empty handed

so yeah more rhubarb that's very thoughtful thank you

long day huh

yeah I'll be fine you know

he's a work horse and the harness never comes off

no maybe if you had someone

the farm wouldn't take so much out of them you know

you don't need to talk about me like I'm not right here

hey you know what

Calvin's actually big help

thank you and besides

I just don't have the money right

now to hire another farm hand

but I'm not talking about another farm hand

well this one's gonna be a little outside the box

Joe Bennett

he doesn't watch TV apparently

because he doesn't have electricity

well I mean

hello hi my name is Claire Bardos

I'm a producer with Love Real Studios

may speak with Joe Bennett

Love Real Studios

as in the company that produces Head Over Heels

that's right

no way is Joe there

Joe uh he uh

he just stepped out

can I call him on a cell

uh no Joe doesn't believe in them

interesting

doesn't believe in cell phones

doesn't watch TV

makes me wonder how he heard about the show

oh no no Joe knows all about Head Over Heels

he was just at my house for the finale the other week

are you calling to ask him to be a contestant

I'm a sister Addison and

and trust me I

I know you're so inside and out

that's great to hear

I'll get him to call you back

well actually

I'm on the way to the farm right now

thanks for your help

wait wait wait

the world I'm off to see the world

just like Columbus

I am off to see

oh uh

though the last one of you is to get proper footwear

guess he didn't pass on that message

huh excuse me

you know it'd be real great if you real

to just kind of talk to each other

that way I don't have to say this more than once

say what it's not for sale

oh you think I wanna buy your farm

look I get it okay

a commercial farm would be quite well out here sure

you have a long line of interested parties okay

but this property has been in my family

for generations again

the house is actually protected by the National Trust

which means if I wanted to knock it down

they wouldn't even let me

which I don't

I'm not a realtor

oh please don't tell me with the Girl Scouts

I still have like 2 big boxes from last year

do I look like a Girl Scout

no haha my apologies

so what are you here for

my name is Claire Bardos

I'm a producer with Head Over Heels

I'm here to talk about your application

Head Over Heels what

what application Joe

I need to talk to you head over heels to dating show

you applied to be a contestant no

the most wonderful thing has just happened oh

you must be Addison hi

oh good so so you you two already met then

yeah uh huh

Addison

what did you do

we we just saw you could use a little push

wait okay okay

don't tell me is is Calvin a part of this too

wait are you telling me

you pretended to be your brother I was

really well what can I say

what's done is done

they obviously made a terrible mistake

no I'm so sorry

but it's a shame that you drove all the way out here

okay because I am not competing in a reality show

oh come on Jones

be a bit more open minded

no we're not interested in you as a contestant see

we're interested in you as our suitor

the suitor oh please

what did all the New York pseudo

celebrities just evaporate into thin air overnight

smart handsome

and you have a sense of humor

you are perfect for the show

oh yeah you know

he is he is the full package

I don't wanna be a package look

I'm flattered

thank you this isn't my style

okay so I trust that you can respect my answer no

I'm gonna go

don't give up everything okay

boss traitor

I know Joe better than anyone

if you and I put our hands together

I'm sure that we can turn them around okay

you hungry starved

great where we going

I know he seems stubborn back there

but he's actually one of the most generous souls

you'll ever meet

he helps out with his neighbors

he he never shows up empty handed

makes me wonder why he's single

he's just busy with the farm

and the seasons haven't been kind

I mean I can't even imagine

how much he's struggling financially

are we struggling

he just needs more help and he won't ask for it

but he has dated right

oh yeah he's been in relationships

of course he was dating Nicole for years

that's not our story to tell

what we just all thought that she was the one

well I just wanna say I am so excited that

Head Over Heels wants Joe Ben to be their next suitor

I mean what a dream

well I'm so happy that you two are excited

and thank you for dinner

I didn't realize when you invited me

was at the place you owned

oh Addison is an institution around here

and all the recipes are our own

I love the kitchen stuff

kitchen every now and then

well the rhubarb pork chops were fabulous

and locally sourced amazing

so is there a motel around here

there's no point in driving back to Brooklyn now

but you can stay with me

I'm right up the road

oh I couldn't oh

I got a guest room

and we can have breakfast here in the morning

oh you don't have to do that Addison

trust her if she wants to

hi you should fit your home is beautiful oh thank you

is that you and Joe

he was so sweet he was always smiling adorable

sleep well I'll see you in the morning good night

tell me you got him

good evening to you too Claire

the suitor offered through him for a loop what

I just need some more time

who would wanna be a contestant with

they could be thus suitor

he should be jumping for joy

and he will be

he's just not like other people we've had on the show

he's down to earth

well he needs to be down to date

I'm serious Claire

tell me I wasn't just imagining

your negotiating skills this morning

I know you want this executive gig

of course I do

look I have an idea

I'll get on it first thing in the morning

tell me when it's done

see you took my advice get rid of the deals

I always keep a pair of sneakers nearby

I wanted to apologize for yesterday

wasn't your fault my sister

she met

mind if I help

sure

wow there is a ton of work around here

well you didn't see nothing yet

well I like to work hard too

but I also like to put my feet up

at the end of a long day

get a chance to relax

you know yeah

I bet you could hire a dozen more Calvins

on a suit of salary

update some equipment

maybe do some renovations on the house well

I'll take that one back after you see the inside okay

maybe there's something

you've been wanting to change around here

is there a long term project you've been holding off on

until the capital comes in

how much are we talking about

that is our starting offer

once the season starts airing

you could expect advertising contracts

and sponsorship deals

you could be the next new face of John Deere Tractors

really leaning into those stereotypes

Claire okay

let's talk beyond money

this is a dating show after all

look I get it

dating in this era

it's a minefield

what if you could skip all the guest work

you just open your heart

without the fear of getting hurt on television

oh okay yeah

romance doesn't just appear out of nowhere

requires opportunity

and this is an opportunity catered exactly to you to me

but the best part is you get to be in the driver's seat

must get lonely out here

wouldn't it be nice to have a partner

to share all of this with

or get a chance to pick the contestants

now that would set a new president

well I mean should I at least have a say

I mean I am the one opening my heart right

who's to say you know what's best for you

I've been doing this long time

you get a say but not the final say

okay

I'll get over I started on the contract

look forward to working with you

you know you weren't kidding

about the inside of this place

I might need the number of your interior designer

you're looking at him

wow

so you're doing it

looks that way

yes what are you doing

you're so lucky Joe

just think of all the women you'll get to date

and get to pick the one you want

I should come with you

no no seriously

I could be like

you're dating sensei

I've seen every episode on the structure

no what I really need from you is to stay here

and handle things while I'm gone

you wanna come on too strong at the beginning

I know I wait

do I do that

keep it casual

make a mental note

the ones you got an easy back and forth with

should I be writing this down

because that first elimination ceremony

comes around fast

you don't want

your soulmate slipping through the cracks

I'll go get a pencil

he is the real deal

our audience is going to love him good work

now we just need to get the network to approve him

I can be back in a few hours okay

no actually

stay where you are

I uh I'd like you to put together a little sizzle reel

that'll help us sell Joe to the higher UPS

I'll arrange the camera

I know just the guy great

and uh Claire

after what happened with Sage

we cannot mess this up

I need you to keep Joe on side at all times I got this

toothbrush pajamas

and enough blazers to dress the symphony orchestra

you're a lifesaver

it's all in the car

so where is our leading man

he's finishing up some chores

he said we could set up inside

but I'll introduce you to him first okay

you're gonna love him

I love this place

beautiful right yeah

wow he is even better in person

must be Toby 1st told me a lot about you charmed so

what do you want me

um inside probably probably that yeah let's go

bit of a SCI fi fan huh

yeah my my dad used to read them to me

yes it just kind of stuck

my dad used to read Auto Repair Weekly to me

why is he laughing

oh you serious

right we're just about ready to go and we're rolling

so Joe tell me about yourself

I'm a farmer oh just just look at me Joe

okay yeah tell me about yourself

I'm a farmer

wait oh you I mean what else you want me to say

and how did you find yourself in this line of work

my parents were farmers this place belonged to them

you know you

I mean they passed away years back I'm sorry

do they teach you everything you know yeah yeah

you know what

let's let's switch gears a little bit here okay

haha yeah alright

alright so tell me what do you look for in a woman

in a woman uh

nice she should be nice

I'm just like a nice person

you know I mean I

I don't you know

well my brain's really looking for adjectives right now

if you wanna help it's okay

take your time

yeah time okay

oh uh we actually I need to

we gotta try to pick up all the things you're saying uh

right sorry

you know what thanks

I've got an idea yeah

let's let's get out of here

let's let's go just take that yeah

let's get out oh yeah

come on you bring you bring this I'm coming

I'm coming yeah

I'm coming first

I want you to go about your day like you normally would

and we're gonna follow you around

but with the cameras turned off

does that seem counterproductive

it's not about us

it's about building trust

so you can feel like you could be yourself okay

huh let's give it a shot great

now looks like one of the resident rabbits

bit through the twine again excuse me

hey are you sure about this

nope but he's got to be camera ready

let's go

got room for one more if you're interested

where we going

so when can we see the contestants

so does everything go through your distributor

yeah most of it

and we still have farmers markets and

MANPA operations that we supply to

but you know

it doesn't pull much of a profit

even when we do have a good season

must be hard

can't control the weather right

we got floods droughts and everything in between

just gotta have a little faith

everything's gonna work out

unfortunately

my job's turned me into a bit of control freak well

I'm working out here would drive you crazy that

so

what's the dream what's the dream

well

think with a little more money manpower and right

relationships

and we could partner with a regional

grocery chain and just cut out the distributor

now that would put our

little independent farm on the next level

and then thinking maybe a Polly House

you know it's kind of similar to a greenhouse

except we can still grow our crops just

sounds like a bunch of more work yeah

I'm sure that would make your parents proud

that's important to you isn't it yes it is

I can't believe we spend all day on the farm and have

nothing to show for it

he'll come around

you just need to have a little faith faith

wait who are you

and what have you done with Claire Bardos

I'm serious

you never leave anything to chance

I just have a good feeling

enough shop talk

well I'm gonna go find that motel and watch some

terrible TV until I pass out

you can't stay at a motel

I can't you can't

it's like 30 minutes away and it's

it's not nice

Claire stay with my sister

you can bunk with me

bunk as in bunk beds

no Toby I have a guest room that you can stay in

if it's as nice as Addison's

you are in for treats

well I don't wanna impose

no I insist

just call it country hospitality

we take care of each other around here

I like that

right on well

let me show you a room

see you later Clark

wait you don't

have a TV right

bye guys

I'm just aiming for the way

yes oh what

see it's better TV no

you don't understand

I do not play games at all

yeah right look at that shot

she play my sister

she's a regional champion really

oh and then last season that kiss under the waterfall

oh I found that waterfall

you did I did

totally by chance

but I will still take full credit

for orchestrating our most romantic moment in years

do you think my brother will make a good suitor I do

most of our suitors want to portray a better

version of themselves

and that's a problem

because our audience can see through that

Joe doesn't have that problem

no Joe couldn't be someone else if you tried

so you like what you do

yeah any other plans

I mean I thought about producing

Claire's taught me so much really

why don't you tell me about her

she's the best in the best and the most humane

which is not always

the most common trait in our industry

look I know this is all pretty new to you

but she's got your back 100%

really she's an amazing person

another round yeah of course

wow look at you full service

well figured you earned it yesterday

so should we wake Toby no let him sleep

we can enjoy our coffee

last night I kept thinking about what you said

regarding my parents

you are really good at reading people did you know that

I've had a lot of practice

I mean after my last relationship

this farm was all that I had to focus on

is my family's legacy

so I think sometimes I feel the pressure of that

I can't even begin to imagine

but what you've managed to do here

it's really impressive

I hate to ruin our conversation

but you're so relaxed and open right now

feel free to say no

but how would you feel if we did that interview again

just the two of us no pressure

okay

and if you need a minute to think of your answer

take your time there's no rush here

so tell me who is Joe Bennett

I'm Joe Bennett

hahaha hi

I'm a proud New Jersey farmer

always knew I'd be doing this for a living

I mean this farm has been passed down

from generation to generation

my sister wasn't interested but now I didn't mind

I love being outside

I love working with my hands

I guess it's in my blood

and head over heels that's a big change for you

yeah obviously for sure

but what are you looking to find

what's like you said Claire

it wouldn't be great to have someone to share

all this with

and what would that someone look like I mean

what would that someone be like

well

uh

I like a woman who's not afraid to get her hands dirty

someone I could laugh with

and watch the stars with

someone who's not afraid to call me out of my stuff

like what if I leave the porch light on overnight

and I remember my last serious relationship

just everything felt so comfortable

so I thought to myself why

you know we just need to be ourselves and

we should be together always

you know I've had a lot of time

to think through all I'm wrong

I mean relationships of all people change right

and you can either lean back

just watch that person drift away from you

or you can run alongside them

and just encourage them to grow with them

I didn't fight for my relationship

that's what I Learned

and I will not make that mistake again

so I think my long winded answer

is that I hope there's a woman out there

who's willing to fight for me

because I'm ready to fight for her

huh what

is that okay

that was good it was good yeah

okay so I think my long winded answer

is I hope there's a woman out there

who's willing to fight for me

because I'm ready to fight for her

well the ladies are going to love him

do you think it's good enough to send yes

send it already okay here goes nothing

it's done so what is good here everything

so I sent it to Joe earlier

are you sure that was a good idea

I want him to know that he could trust me

he's gonna freak

out when he sees himself on camera I mean

I can't believe he even told us that story about his ex

I like a man who can speak his truth

oh makes for good TV

hello

watch the video

and what do you think

yeah it's a

you did a great job

I'm glad you approve

hey listen I was wondering if you and Toby

you know would like to come have dinner at my place

we would love to have dinner with you right

well I'll see you tonight

okay see you then

why is our suitor making us dinner

does he want something

no I think he's just a nice guy huh

I thought they'd all disappeared

oh I feel like I just went to Paris and back

it was delicious

the rhubarb tasted a little similar to

the pork chop that you do at your restaurant

or is that just that

just I can most of my seasonal produce from Joe

including the rhubarb I knew it

you have a very perceptive palette to pick up on that

ah so Addison

Joe tells me that you are the

expert at bocce ball around here what

I don't mean to brag

but oh okay

but new rival has merged

oh yeah it's time for me to take the trophy

well let the games begin okay okay here we go it's on

this table is something else I really like the design

what

you made it

you made this table yes

I dabble in carpentry just I mean during my spare time

do you have any

not really no

well it's beautiful thank you

is there anything you don't do

I mean I don't vacation well

I think we have that in common

you know what

I usually go for a walk after dinner

would you like to join me

yeah I'd love to excellent

I know a lot of New Yorkers

who would pay a fortune for a table like that

well I barely have enough time to dabble

let alone pursue a side hustle

fair enough

how did you always wanna be a producer

actually no I

well for the longest time I I wanted to be a novelist

really what kind

don't laugh I won't

historical romance

big epic sprawling love stories they're totally my jam

but it doesn't matter

didn't work out

I mean why not

if you don't mind me asking

I want a few short story contests in college

but I had to focus on an education that

pretty much guarantee the job afterwards you know

to justify four years of student debts

anyway I got my first job

as a production assistant on this house flipping show

and then work my way up there

and are you still ready

what did you say about

barely having enough time to dabble

Touche I'm not

but it's fine

there's this promotion I've been angling for

and you know

in the meantime

I'm happy spending what little spare time I have

probably get to bed with a good book

reading is my jam too you know

wow

I never get tired of this feel

my cousin had a wedding on a farm a bit like this one

it's really romantic

yeah suppose to speak a place for a wedding

hello they love Joe

the network yes

especially Tony

they given us

the green light to go ahead and start production

but we need to move fast

cause we've already lost so much time

with Sage leaving oh

we're putting out a new casting breakdown today uh well

that reminds me where we at with the Joe's contract

I'm still waiting on our lawyers

but I have a wild pitch that might slightly change

the terms of his contract

instead of sticking Joe

and the contestants in some generic New York mansion

like we have for the last 11 seasons

why not bring everyone here

to New Jersey

Joe's farm is the perfect backdrop for next season

we could rent the land from him for a few months

and hire one of those canopy tents for group events

and elimination ceremonies

yeah I don't know Claire

Head Over Heels is a show about wish fulfillment

not bales of hay

I thought you wanted to switch things up I do

this will take viewers to a place that

is rarely seen on screen

and I bet once they see how beautiful it is

that we leaving their snug condos and droves

okay but where are we gonna put the contestants

fancy trailers all over the property

all right well

I don't know

I mean if it is different

I give you that uh

what about the romantic dates

uh I'm gonna need ideas from you

in order to sell this new direction to Tony

I'll make a list and Claire

these dates need to be foolproofed

no butter churning or cow milking

I'm serious got it

you never stop do you can say the same thing

so can I do it for

I have another proposition for you

I'm all yours

so wait no mansion

no mansion look

things just keep changing

what about the personal chef

I mean who's gonna make all those romantic dinners

Addison look

it's not like you cared about the mansion

in the first place no

so what's really bugging you

you know me

I'm a private guy

I just I like my space

and they want to bring all these people in

and they're everywhere all the time

but they must be paying you some kind of a fee for this

of course how much we talking

it's generous

look you've had dreams for this farm for years

just think about what

you could do with that kind of money

you know what I really like about this idea

if this show takes place on your farm

you get to see what these contestants are

really made of

cause not everyone's cut out for country life

but whoever you pick needs to want it as much as you do

I need you to keep your numbers to a minimum

we could use a skeleton crew

and people gotta clean up after themselves

of course we have a system and if you make any changes

I wanna prove

how about we approve them together

look I know this is a lot but you could trust me Joe

I'm gonna be with you all the way

okay

we're good

well then

I have another small favor to ask

it's nothing bad

I just need some activities that

qualify as romantic dates

what's all this

some ideas the production designer sent over

you're setting up a 10 right now

it's like an everything bagel

well you know me I prefer plain

hey if you take one piece of advice from me

just try to enjoy it

this is a once in a lifetime opportunity

yeah that's

something I've been meaning to talk to

you about actually

you know things are getting busy with the show

Wanna hire a couple more farm hands

can I count on you to take the lead

uh about that

you haven't seen up for my own place

just waiting for the right time and right spot

well I found it a little farm off Potter Road really

that's great man

I'm happy for you yeah

I still got you though

how about with the hiring and with a little luck

you don't even notice I'm gone

well big change is coming for both of us

hi ah the lights are here perfect yeah

Toby there you are

let's choose some before and after for the promo honest

what's up oh

I just I gotta get going soon

why do you look so nervous

I'm not nervous Claire

I'll see you in a bit

where are you going

I thought we were

blaze needs some dating activities ah

so you and Joe are this farm

we're doing some research together

um I gotta run

I'll see you later

okay okay what am I just

okay we got horseback riding go karting tubing

paintballing oh I like that one

that could be a competition element to that

what do you mean you know

last one standing gets a private dinner with you

oh okay you really don't watch TV I really don't

the magic of two

time by your side forever with you

you don't want me to leave

this is a beautiful spot

I know right

this old Willow

used to climb it all the time when I was a kid

perfect spot to end a date

on the show

I mean of course

by the way the story you told during your interview

about your last relationship

it blew everyone away

it's not easy to share something like that

lemonade thank you well

I don't know what Addison told you

she didn't tell me anything really

well her name was Nicole

and we were high school sweethearts

she was gonna graduate with a degree in aggra

business in Texas

afterwards we were gonna take over the farm together

well she fell in love with someone

and had a couple of kids while she was there

so was one of those remember the lesson

forget the experience moments

you can't just paint over a fender Bender

that's what my dad used to say

that is so true yeah

well I've had my fair share of bad luck to

the latest being on the last season of Head Over Heels

oh oh yeah what happened well

we felt really compatible when we were working together

and then the show wrapped and

he became a completely different person

maybe I did too

my point is

and how scary it is

to put yourself out there after you've been burned

you know it's strange your farm

the beautiful countryside

it reminds me of my favorite book

what's it called

Plum Brook haha

that's probably because

they also grew up 10 miles from here

what yeah mean for house at Emma Downey right

I always knew there was a childhood home in New Jersey

I didn't realize we were so close by

I've always wanted to visit god

well it's a small museum

one employee

can we go right now

probably couldn't make it before they closed

but

could take you tomorrow morning

it was way ahead of its time but at its heart

it's really a love story

her family wants her to marry this English lord

and move to London

but she is in love with her neighbor

this man who sees her in a way that nobody else does

when he chases her carriage to the port

I cry every time

you are such a romantic what's wrong with that nothing

well pick you up at 10:00am

I don't think I'll sleep awake

bye see you in the morning

originally this is where the family would gather

and my sister would play the piano

but unfortunately

they had to sell it after her father died

I see we have a fan among us today

are these the original furnishings

most of them

and this my dear

is where Emma wrote the story of a woman

at the turn of the century

torn between high society and her rule independence

some say her very best novel

Plum Brooke

that's right

I always thought she wrote it after she moved to Paris

no Emma societal connections and reputation

launched her career after she moved to Paris

but her best work was already behind her but she

she struggled to find her voice again after the move

well I'll leave you two to explore thanks rose

you're welcome

wow fame after death is one thing

you hear about that all the time

but to be celebrated in your lifetime

and then lose your voice makes you wonder

which is worse

Mommy worst is never trying JoJo what are you doing

have a seat these are heirlooms

Emma's heirlooms I don't think Emma's gonna mind

oh what about the door guy

oh she's just happy that somebody's here trust me

have a seat

do you thank you

so how was that great

so glad you took me here

it's just um

it's embarrassing no it's okay hey I won't judge

but when I was sitting at Emma's desk I

started thinking

maybe I shouldn't have pushed my dreams aside

so quickly you know

that's silly

no no it's not

maybe we all have regrets right

just cause the pieces weren't all there when you're 18

doesn't mean you're not meant to find them later on

yeah guess

Calvin's been bugging me to replace this thing

for years but you know what

I don't like throwing away things that aren't broken

worst case scenario I'll have Calvin coming to us

he loves that no need found your toolbox

the connection to your battery is got 1/2 inch in there

yep

so you fix trucks now too

I work to my dad's auto repair shop in high school

Auto Repair Weekly

it's yours

oh Joe no no

this is this is worth a lot of money no

no I'm not gonna sell it to someone

they're just gonna stick in some glass case until their

anyone since we've been looking through these

nothing wrong being picky

all right you pick someone

come on

okay

she looks friendly

nope what he's a real estate agent

you gotta be kidding me you know how I feel about them

Joe what's going on

are you having second thoughts or something

I mean should I have second thoughts or something

I know this is hard

but you're going to find the perfect person for you

it might not be obvious on the page

but when things click with her you'll know

is that how it works for you

I'm a producer I'm not on the show

I know that just meant personally when you meet someone

did you snow

um

yes but I

you shouldn't ask me

I haven't felt that feeling in like

see this is why I read books

I'm just not cut up for the real thing

okay

listen how about I go through these and then

let's get back to you

okay

Claire I've got something that I wanna ask you but I'm

kind of worried about how you're gonna react what's up

do I need to be worried

about you and Joe what do you mean

don't be ridiculous

I've never seen you

get this close to one of our suitors before

I'm just doing my job

I've never been anything but professional with him

of course but your connection is undeniable

Joe's a great guy we get along

Claire look

even if you did like him believe me

I wouldn't blame you

I'm just if this was to blow up

I would hate to see you lose your job because of it

it's a moot point

even if there was chemistry

when all is said and done

you and I are going back to Brooklyn

and his life is here you can't

speak of the devil

hi sorry to interrupt oh no

I think I found someone

you know what I think I'm gonna head inside

no I mean don't leave on my account

no no no man you're good you can take a seat

thank you

her name is April

she's a veterinary and she likes hiking and cooking

maybe a good option

okay I'll put her at the top of your shortlist okay

now Kelvin says that

you know maybe I should have other options

but I don't have any right now so yeah okay

can I just email you

great

okay

you are perfect for him

hi Toby hi wardrobe is having some kind of

problem with Joe

he's asking for you

Claire I'll be right there

Joe it's me can I come in yeah

hello Cinderella

what's wrong

look the suits are great okay

they look nice

but it's not you no

no but the contract says that I need to wear whatever

the show wants me to

wear and then the hair

people are saying that they're gonna cut my hair

and then there's these other folks that I don't need

they're strangers

and they're just asking me all these personal questions

and you feel like you're being

pulled in a bunch of different directions yeah

and I thought that I'd have a say

okay well I'll make you a deal

we only need you to wear the suits

for the evening ceremonies

other than that

you can wear whatever you want

and there's no way I'm letting them touch your hair

it's perfect as it is

I will also talk to the crew about boundaries

wow uh that's great um

can we um forget that in writing

of course take care of it thanks

I know this is hard but it'll be worth it once you when

right yeah I I'm gonna help you right

I've got your back Joe

um listen

um

can I show you something really quick

yeah after you

Cinderella

well now that Toby's

moving back into the motel with the crew

and I have my spare room back

so I figured I'd do a little reorganization

this isn't a bedroom

not anymore

now it's a study

just like Emma Downey's

I figured you'd probably be spending a

couple months here

so you know

might be nice for you to just have your own space

you know place you can escape to and write

when you're not working

no one's ever done something like this for me before

I'll just consider it a thank you

and I mean I was stuck in a rod before you came along

and then so much has changed

I can go back to normal even if I wanted to

which I don't

because you showed me

that I don't need to do this on my own

so thank you

enjoy

there he is our star

Blaze Carlo

executive producer

it's quite the handshake you got there blaze

you know you are not the first person to tell me that

we are so excited for you just thinking 36 hours

handed you a grenade

I just wanted to talk to you for a minute private

okay

I got a promotion

well congratulations that

that's good

isn't it yes but

it means I'm leaving

when

today

okay the team will take good care of you

they're looking at producer to replace me as we speak

and in the meantime

blaze will handle things blaze

but you're the one

who convinced me to do the show in the first place

I'm so sorry Joe

I can't pass up this opportunity

I'm finally being recognized for my contributions oh

that's fantastic

what about your writing what

I don't know

life is gonna be so much busier

now that I'm gonna be an executive

I I don't think I'll find the time

right executive okay

I would really like us to part

as friends

then as a friend

wouldn't you want me to tell you to pursue your dreams

well he just started off again it's not the right time

never gonna be the right time Claire

this is a fantasy Joe it's not a reality not yet

I'm only here because

you made me believe that the fantasy was possible

you did that

the timing is bad

and I feel awful about that but

ultimately it's a win win

for the both of us

okay

I wish you all the luck Claire

and everything

anytime

why aren't you gonna say goodbye to Addison

I left her a message

Claire you don't have to pretend with me

I know that you have feelings for him

he's about to be a suitor on

most popular dating show in the country and I

let him down

will you still have a choice

choose a man over a promotion no

then what

but I can tell that it is different this time

it's too late

is it I already accepted the promotion and you know

this way I don't have to watch him quite 25 other women

you do have feelings for him Claire

it doesn't matter Toby

so did the studio pick my replacement

actually they asked me

I may have mentioned my rapport with Jota Blaze

and I did learn from the best

besides I think I might make a good producer

I think so too congratulations thank you

wow

good luck with the show thank you

I'll um I'll call you when I'm back in town okay

you heard the news then about the promotion yeah

I mean it's her decision right

she can do what she wants

even if it's not what she wants

oh wait wait wait

hold up hold up

you can't just assume to

no woman's minds better than they do

that's just not attractive

no I'm not trying to be assuming

I wanna wanna be supportive

I wanna be encouraging I

just want her to be happy

you don't have to do this if you don't want to

how's it all going in here

Toby is on his way over with your new contract

and in the meantime

if there's anything you need I'm here

you know actually

yeah there is something that I'd like to run by you

Addison Claire

have you gone already

I'm on the road but I haven't gone far

I'm really sorry I didn't tell you in person

it all happened so fast

no no no that's okay

I'm not very good at goodbyes either I have um

I've been meaning to ask you

I was looking into head over heels couples

and I read that last season's couple already split up

I heard that too

well it it just made me wonder

how many of the couples actually

stay together over the years

maybe one or two

you know what as much

as it thrills me to see my brother on my favorite show

I'd rather see him happy

I don't know what you mean

I think you do

Claire

think of all the women he's gonna meet like April

she's perfect for him he hasn't even met her

but I haven't seen my brother smile

the way he does around you in years

you're the one Claire

you're an angel

hi

hey

I'm back haha

you are

listen Joe I don't know how to say this

so I'm just gonna I'm just gonna say it

I'm sorry I left

I just felt like I should

because I couldn't stand the thought of watching

you fall in love with someone else

and that's because I'm falling for you

and I know this is the worst timing ever

but I felt like if I didn't tell you now

that I would regret it for the rest of my life

you're right your your timing is a little off

I know it's

I've been falling for you since

the first time I saw you

and if you really want this job

I don't wanna get in the way of that

that's the thing

that's not what I want

you've been right this whole time

I wanna be a writer

and I wanna be here

with you

I don't wanna leave everyone in the lurch

they've they've all worked so hard to get here and yeah

I had a feeling you're gonna say something like that so

we've been working on a plan

you two lovebirds figure it out yet

almost what is happening

Calvin Harris gonna take my place

this is the best day of my life

wait what about the suitor fee

cutting up the middle man

your plan still getting at a location fee

for letting us use the grounds

my plans will still move forward

just at a slower pace

more my style

and you're really okay with all of this yes

after Joe explained his reasons for backing out

I'm an executive producer on a dating show

who am I to stand in the way of

the affairs of the heart

especially when involving my close personal friend

plus this one's a farmer and a firefighter

and the show promised to help me out with my farm

once we rap

we wanted our winning couple to have somewhere

nice to settle when the show's over

but

I am gonna miss you Clark

thanks please

well we better get this man fitted

we got contestants arriving tomorrow I am so excited

all right good luck thanks

so

where does that leave us

together

on the farm you can work on your novel

oh so it's novel now yeah I think it is

and I mean I can bring you endless cups of coffee

you know filled with inspiration of course

I can't believe you did all of this for me why not

it's like I said

I found the one

you fight for

I'm so glad you did

because you see me like no one ever has

thank you plumber

yeah

I used to think this kind of love only existed in books

starting to think it's real

yeah me too

what is this thing anyway

this is where the winners are going to kiss

how convenient hmm okay

ah haha that's weird thing oh it hurts
