A Love to Remember (2021) Movie Script
Looking good today my babies!
They're plants, Tenley!
They're literally
inanimate objects.
You've got to get
yourself a real pet.
Good morning, Cami.
Dinner later tonight,
don't forget!
Aye aye, captain.
Morning, Mrs. Dearly!
Tomatoes like acidic soil.
Put a couple of tablespoons
in your watering can.
It will help.
So cool.
No...
So amazing.
And you're amazing for
sending it. Smiley face.
Wannabe Posh Spice.
My mugshot?
What is in my teeth?
Just call him,
tell him how you feel!
You've been talking for a year
and you've never even met him.
The only guy I've ever talked
to for that long was my dentist.
We're just online friends.
An environment
chat room friendship
shouldn't last a year, Ten.
It's time to get
this off your device
and into the real world.
Okay first of all,
we met on an online
sustainability forum,
not a chat room.
And second of all,
how do we even know
Jared feels the same way?
When was the last time
you went on a real date?
College, that was when.
With that Henry guy who thought
beer pong and cold pizza
qualified as romantic.
That's not fair!
Sometimes Henry and I also
went to the library together.
Yeah, so he could copy
all of your biology notes.
You've been crushing on
this guy for too long.
It's time to ask him to meet.
The only way you'll know how
he feels is if you meet him.
And there's no guarantee
that he's not a catfish.
He could be a weirdo.
You're right, okay.
You got this.
I don't know.
Do you remember what happened
the last time
I tried to put myself
out there romantically?
The vigilante crime fighter guy?
He was funny.
He wore a costume
under all of his clothing
and broke his leg trying
to jump off our fire escape.
Yeah, like I said,
he was hilarious.
He couldn't fly!
He tried.
Come on Tenley, just go for it!
Okay, okay.
Just keep it casual.
Tell him what ethically
sourced diamonds you're into
and how many kids
you want to have.
Cami!
It's time.
Okay.
I'm going to take this
over there.
Alright Tenley, you got this.
Just be very brave
and call Jared.
Calling Jared.
Please don't pick up.
Hello?
Hello, Jared!
Hi, it's me.
It's Tenley.
Tenley, hi!
So cool to hear your voice.
How are you?
Yeah, good.
So listen...
I was thinking...
just really not a big deal,
but I have been wondering...
Yeah?
Hello?
Maybe we should meet?
Sure, how about coffee tomorrow?
Milk and Honey at 9:30?
Yes!
I mean, very cool.
Great, I'll see you
there tomorrow.
Hey.
You dropped that.
Sorry.
You all right?
It was a cute happy dance.
I liked the spin.
Did you win the lottery
or something?
No.
Exactly how much of
that dance did you see?
What dance?
What's your name?
Tenley!
I have to go.
I'm Everett.
Who was that?
I don't know.
- Cami!
- Yeah?
We're meeting at our
favorite cafe tomorrow
and I have nothing to wear.
It's true,
your options are dismal.
You dress like you could have
a job interview at any moment.
Fortunately, you have
a very stylish best friend
who works in fashion.
Where are you going?
That's stunning!
Take it, it's perfect.
And keep your soil samples
away from the chiffon.
Thank you Cami, you're the best.
I know.
Hello, nice to meet you.
I'm Tenley.
Tenley.
You look so beautiful.
Tenley... Tenley... Tenley.
Tenley...
Tenley, wake up!
Tenley, you overslept.
What?
- What time is it?
- 9:15.
I overslept.
I can't believe I overslept!
- I never oversleep.
- I'm aware.
It's okay, don't stress.
It'll all be okay!
It's a sign!
It's a sign I shouldn't go.
I should call him and tell him
that I've got a last minute
plane to catch.
Or that I've got a job
in Tasmania
and I'm never coming back.
Or that I'm officially a plant.
That's it!
I'm a shrub now.
I'm a shrub and I never move
and I never date
and I certainly
never leave the house...
Snap out of it!
No one is going to Tasmania,
or turning into a shrub.
Calm down, breathe.
Everything's gonna be fine.
Put this on,
go for coffee and be yourself.
Okay?
And hurry up,
you're going to be late.
OMG, how did it go?
He stood me up.
No, he didn't!
Call him.
Get an explanation,
he owes you that.
I don't know Cam,
maybe I should just let it go.
Ten, you've spoken to him
every day for a year.
He owes you a conversation.
He can't just ghost you.
Okay.
Okay, you're right.
But please don't
let this discourage you
from taking risks.
Yeah, thank you.
Hello?
Jared hi, just wondering why
you decided to stand me up?
Was I kidding myself
into thinking
that maybe we could have...
Hold on, slow down.
I'm Doctor McMahon.
I'm the attending physician here
at Mercy General Hospital.
I hate to be the one
to tell you this,
but Jared was in a
bike accident this morning
and brought into us.
Is he okay?
Tell me what I can do.
Oh yeah, he's stable
and he's going to be
back to himself in no time,
don't you worry.
I do need to ask though,
do you know if he has
any allergies to anything?
Strawberries, cats, tree nuts
and the word moist.
Dang, sounds like you two
have a beautiful relationship.
Yeah, I guess we kind of do.
Okay, well he's going
to be in room 314.
What's your name?
Tenley. T-E-N-L-E-Y.
Got it.
I'm going to add you
to the visitors list.
You're his wife, right?
Yes, of course.
Great, I'll see you soon,
Mrs. Carr.
Hello?
You keep fighting
the good fight!
I told you not to keep trying
to build that furniture
by yourself.
This is the fourth time
this week.
Please hire someone
before you lose an eye.
Say hi to the wife for me.
The nurse is on a break,
can I help you?
Yes, I think we spoke
on the phone?
I'm Tenley looking
for Jared Carr?
Oh yes, of course.
Jared, yes.
I just need you to sign
the visitors log.
Then I have a couple of forms
I need you to sign.
Sure.
I need your signature here
on this one.
There.
And then a Sue Mary over there.
Yes.
And just your initials
on that one.
Okay.
Great.
That was so cute,
"allergic to the word moist."
Thank you, I think there
might have been a mistake here.
You know what?
I'm going to get you to
have a seat here, Mrs. Carr.
I'll let you know
when you can see him.
Actually, it's Sweeney.
My last name is Sweeney.
Keeping your own last name,
I like that.
Ms. Sweeney.
You can see him now.
Hi.
I'm Tenley.
It's nice to finally meet you.
Well, this is definitely not how
I pictured our first date going.
Maybe it'll be a funny story
to tell the grandkids one day.
Jared!
It's you! It's you!
Let me look at you.
I'm sorry, who are you?
I am Jared's mother dear, Lynn.
The doctor just told us
about you.
Happy dance?
Handsome stranger guy?
You two know each other?
No.
Does someone want to tell me
what's going on here?
Hi folks.
Just wanted to give you
all an update.
As you know,
Jared took a significant bump
on the head.
So we're keeping him
in a deep sleep
until the swelling goes down.
But we're confident that
he'll be back on
his feet in no time.
That's great news,
thank you doctor.
Don't thank me.
Thank her.
He's going to be okay,
Mrs. Carr, all thanks to you.
Excuse me?
Right, Sweeney! My bad.
Those forms, consenting to
us continuing the treatment.
They saved his life.
He's lucky to have you,
lucky you got here so quickly.
I...
Oh come on now!
Don't be so humble.
You saved him!
That's what I signed?
No no no, I, I...
You you you, saved his life.
Either that or you're
committing insurance fraud.
Am I right?
I got you. Zing!
- Can you imagine?
- Yeah.
Who would do such a thing?
- Right?
- Crazy!
Sorry to break up
the comedy routine.
That's good stuff
and everything, it is.
But can someone explain
to me who this woman is?
She's his wife?
She's his wife?
I have been wanting Jared
to get married.
And I find out today
of all days...
Okay, now I just...
Hey!
Everyone simmer down.
This is fragile time for Jared
and coma patients
are sensitive to noise.
So please, I'm going
to have to ask you all
to take the party
some place else.
Can't we stay?
I'm his mother, I can't
just leave him like this.
What Jared needs right now
is rest and quiet.
He's in good hands, I promise.
I'll tell you what.
Why don't we all
go back to the house?
You can explain
this thing over dinner...
Ronnie, that's ridiculous...
No, maybe we don't understand
but she's family now.
Thank you.
It's been a strange day,
I think I should just get home.
- I agree with that.
- Nonsense!
You probably
haven't eaten all day
and we would love to meet you.
We insist you come to dinner.
Absolutely!
O what noble mind
is here o'erthrown!
The courtier's, soldier's...
I forgot the rest.
Just keep practicing.
She's got a big audition
for the school play coming up.
I'm doing Ophelia's
monologue from Hamlet.
Faye, time for dinner.
Go get your father.
Dad! It's dinner time!
Can't a man bocce in peace?
I said go get him,
not yell at him.
Fine, I'm going.
Oh no need, Petal.
I've got this.
Thanks.
Father, the queen
has dispatched me
to fetch thee to dine
in the great hall.
Okay, I'll be a minute.
Sir, the time for sporting
has expired.
Your kin dines
in the great hall.
Make haste!
Don't you speak
regular English anymore?
Mom said dinner is almost ready
and she wants you to help.
Well, after you m'lady.
Salad, salad, salad, I got it.
So, you must be the mystery wife
behind door number 1.
Betsey.
Tenley, we do have a lot
of questions for you.
I'll say.
I'm sorry, I know
this is a lot to absorb.
I really care about Jared,
but this is just a
misunderstanding that spiraled.
I once took a plane
to Rochester, Minnesota
and I was supposed to go
to Rochester, New York.
That's a misunderstanding!
We are just grateful
you're here.
Is anybody going to mention
how messed up this is?
Everett, don't be
such a guard dog.
So, was it a Vegas wedding
or something?
Or did you guys go
on that reality TV show
where you meet the person
and marry them on the same day?
Okay, let's not overwhelm her.
Let's start with
something simple.
Like, what do you do
for a living?
I'm a horticulturist.
I specialize in
eco-friendly farming.
And I have recently narrowed
my focus to soil methods.
I also just heard
how boring that sounds.
No.
It sounds like a great match
for my Jared.
He loves that stuff.
He feels very strongly
about plastic bottles.
He's even more angry at straws.
Jared is so driven to work
with people
who want to better the planet.
That's actually how we met,
on a sustainability forum.
A chat room?
Seriously?
No, a forum.
What's the difference?
Now that sounds perfect
for my Jared.
Meeting a girl who
loves reusable plastic.
I once used a pillowcase
for a plastic bag.
That's very inventive, Ron.
Yeah, it's inventive, it's good.
How do we know that
she's for real?
When's his birthday?
January 10th, but I'm not his...
- What's his favorite place?
- Rose Valley.
But I'm trying to tell you
that I'm not his...
What's his pet peeve?
People touching his laptop
screen and leaving fingerprints.
But for the last time, people...
She got you!
Everett, enough!
Tenley, I insist you stay
with us tonight.
It's been a long day, and
you should just rest up here.
I really shouldn't...
Nonsense, you will stay
in Jared's old room
and that is that!
- Lovely.
- Good.
But, you don't even...
Alright okay, I'm done.
But I am onto you.
And when he was 16,
he demanded that we all
learn how to compost.
He used to dress up like a fish
and get people
to sign petitions.
Well, he sounds
like a wonderful child.
He really was.
Always very conscious of others.
But very private
about his love life.
And of course, attached
at the hip with Everett.
Do you have a big family?
No, it's just me and my mom.
We're like the two musketeers.
Kind of.
That's nice.
I'll bet you are
your mother's treasure!
Lynn, I'm really sorry
to have to tell you this,
- but I'm not...
- Mom!
Yes, dear?
Can you help me run lines?
Of course, be right there.
Just give me a minute, Petal.
She really wants
to ace this audition.
No worries.
The restroom?
Oh yeah, just down the hall.
What are you doing?
Just tell them the truth Tenley,
you're being ridiculous!
Woman arrested for pretending...
Just do it.
Just say it and run.
I can't do this
without Jared, Ron.
How bad is it?
We have a week
until we're toast.
He's not going to
be ready in time.
Tenley.
You rang?
This is perfect!
What is?
Tenley can help you.
Help with what, exactly?
No way Ron, absolutely not.
Just think about it.
She has similar expertise
to Jared.
She can help you
with the presentation.
All you need to do is tell her
what you need, Everett.
Swallow your pride.
Speak up boy!
Jared and I have a start up
that's being circled by
a conglomerate: Panama.
They're trying to acquire us.
Evil overlord corporation,
you get the gist.
Unfortunately, a large portion
of our shareholders
are actually
considering the deal.
It would be the death
of our company.
There's no way a
conglomerate like that
would sustain our ethos.
They are just trying
to buy up small business
to eliminate competition.
They'd throw out
our green practices,
they'd throw our employees
down the drain.
It would be our nightmare.
That's awful.
But I don't understand
how I would help?
Jared and I were trying
to prepare a presentation
to remind the board of the
company's mission, the values.
Trying to convince them
not to sell.
I see.
Well, I was the financial side,
Jared was sustainability.
I know some sustainability,
but it's not enough to finish.
And that is where you
come in, Tenley.
It's going to be a lot of work,
so you should say no.
Yeah, tonight has gotten
really out of hand...
My son's business depends on it.
Please.
Okay...
Okay.
Great, I'll let you two
sort it out.
Alright.
So...
So.
This is what we're working with
so far.
This is messy.
You know, no one is forcing you.
You really don't like asking
for help, do you?
Not from people I don't know.
Why were you so happy
the other night?
I don't know what
you're talking about.
Yes you do,
you threw a phone at me.
You remember that?
Yes.
I was talking to Jared,
if you must know.
Why did Jared keep his marriage
a secret?
Something doesn't smell
right about this.
I'm going to figure out
what you're hiding.
Tenley, I put fresh sheets
on Jared's bed for you.
- Thank you, Lynn.
- You're welcome, dear.
Let's just forget it.
What about the presentation?
You know what I
don't understand?
Is how I randomly run
into a girl in the street
and the next day, I find out
she's my best friends wife.
So Jared never
told anyone about me?
No.
And I'm going to guess he
never told you about me, either.
It's my nightmare, Cam.
They think I'm his wife!
And now on top of everything,
I have to help
save the business.
It's like every time
I try to escape,
I somehow end up with something
else that needs to be saved.
They sound like
reasonable people,
just tell them.
And say what?
Hi, I'm the random internet lady
that apparently committed
insurance fraud
when I saved your son's
life earlier
and now you're all convinced
that we ran away together
and got married
when really, this morning
would've been the first time
I actually met the guy?
Yes, because that's the truth.
OMG, I knew it.
Cam, I gotta go.
Betsey, we can talk about this.
So you lied about everything?
Not exactly.
I wonder what the
authorities would say
if they found out about this?
Please, I am begging you.
Chill, I'm not going to blow up
your little secret.
You're not?
No way.
My mom would be heartbroken.
She's been wanting Jared to
find someone for literally ever.
I spent the whole night
trying to tell you all,
but I couldn't get a word
in edgewise.
Welcome to my life.
It takes two weeks to get my mom
to sign a permission slip.
Why don't you just wait
till Jared wakes up?
My family's under so
much stress already.
I don't think they
can handle more bad news.
I don't know...
Plus, it sounds like
Jared and Everett
need you to bail
the business out.
You can't just leave now.
This company is everything
to them.
And, my parents took out
a second mortgage
to help them get the business
off the ground.
Oh no.
Oh yes.
You leave now
and my whole family
is going to the poor house.
You're in deep, lady.
Buried.
Thank you.
For saving my brother
and for agreeing
to help his business.
I know you're just
some internet weirdo
and technically I should like,
karate chop you
and call the cops.
But you seem pretty okay to me.
Thank you.
Betsey?
Yeah?
What's with Everett?
Don't worry about him.
We're basically his only family,
so he's protective.
He means well.
It's my nightmare.
It's absolutely my nightmare.
Jared?
Jared it's me, your mother,
Lynn Carr.
He's got a concussion,
he's not deaf.
Mom?
Good morning.
He's awake.
Wonderful.
Let's have a look here.
That's very bright, mister.
Well, you had a bump
on the head.
Bike accident.
I did?
My head feels like cotton.
That's the gauze.
Please don't pull that off.
Who are you?
Me? I'm Tenley.
Oh dear.
Okie dokie, artichokie.
Night night.
What happened?
Is he okay?
Nothing to worry about.
He's still heavily sedated.
Perfectly normal for him
to be a little bit loopy.
He'll be in and out
for the next few days.
Now, as soon as his head injury
is stabilized,
we definitely need to operate
on that knee.
But he will be okay?
He'll be able to eat jello
like a normal person one day?
Oh yeah, fork and all.
Or do you eat jello
with a spoon?
You know what?
I think I'm team fork.
Anyways, all we have
to do now is let him rest
and let the body do the work.
We should go too,
we have a lot of work to do.
You don't have to help me,
you know.
Ron can be hard to say no to,
but I can handle this on my own.
Okay, sure.
Just out of curiosity,
what percentage of household
waste can be recycled?
52 percent.
Oh... 84.
It's okay to just admit
you need my help.
If we're going to do this,
I need you to be honest with me.
No lies.
I can't do business with people
I can't trust.
Okay.
So, tell me honestly.
Why didn't Jared tell us
about you?
Honestly?
I don't know.
Alright.
Let's get to work then.
Alright, I'll meet you
in the conference room.
You know where that is, right?
Yes.
Of course.
Please be the conference room...
Oh no.
Everett! Everett help!
A little help in here, please!
Hi...
I just wanted to make sure
that the cleaning products
were all non-toxic.
And... yes.
Look at that,
this is a good choice.
Okay.
The sustainability initiatives,
they're remarkable.
But you're forcing the customer
to eat the bulk of the costs.
We've been over and over this.
We can't keep our employees paid
if some of that burden
doesn't fall on the consumer.
Right, but that's why
a lot of people
shy away from green products
is because of the cost.
If you want to stand out,
you have to be affordable.
The board is going to sell,
I can feel it.
Ronnie and Lynn,
they put all their trust in us
and we're going to fail them.
There has to be a way
to streamline.
Make your products appeal
to consumers.
Actually be able to compete
with Panama.
If you have any
miracle solutions,
I am all ears.
This doesn't make any sense.
Of course it does!
When you're only selling
expensive imported products...
No, no, not that, you.
What do you mean?
I've known Jared my entire life,
he tells me everything.
He told me the time that
he peed himself
in sophomore gym class
after the quarter mile run.
And he had already
showered and changed,
so he didn't have to,
but he did.
Because he tells me everything.
But you, he hasn't told me
anything about you.
I get it.
It's a lot to take in.
And the last thing I intended
was for my presence
to cause such a tornado.
I promise I only want
what's best for Jared.
And I was trying to do what
was right in the moment,
but I see now that I just need
to come out...
Hi Lynn.
No I haven't yet,
I will, I will.
Okay, bye.
That's Lynn, she's insisting
we both go to dinner tonight.
I'm sorry, what were you saying?
Nothing.
He was an awful soccer player.
Always kicking it
in the wrong goal.
Everett was always the athlete
of the family.
I don't know about that,
he had me beat
in track and field.
Nonsense!
Jared always ran like a giraffe
that got shot with
a tranquilizer dart.
You let him win.
He was lucky to have you
watching out for him.
No, I was lucky
to have you guys.
It must have been nice
having siblings.
I always wanted them.
Well our family is your family
now, Petal.
And we're all in this together.
You should stay again tonight.
We'll have breakfast
in the morning.
Yeah, stay!
I would love that.
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
Let's get started
earlier tomorrow.
We're running out of time.
Yeah, sure.
I'll come pick you up
first thing.
Sounds good.
What?
Nothing, I just haven't seen
that shirt in forever.
I guess Jared's
had it the whole time.
I'm sorry,
I thought this was Jared's.
Doesn't matter.
Alright.
Tomorrow.
See you tomorrow.
Jiminy Cricket!
You scared me.
So, how did it go today?
It was worse than I thought
it would be.
Everett definitely
doesn't trust me.
Well, you did just emerge
from some chat room
and dupe your way
into my family.
So can you blame him?
No.
So what's the deal?
You guys are his only family.
What's that all about?
He lost his parents
when he was young.
His grandparents raised him
and when they passed,
my family just kind
of took him in.
He's basically my brother.
I'm sorry, I didn't know that.
He pretends to be all
put together,
but really, he's kind of a mush.
What was that?
Betsey...
Betsey, move!
- I can explain.
- Move!
No!
Hey!
That's why you're always
in Jared's room.
Who is that boy?
Is that your boyfriend?
No... kind of.
His name is Ryan.
I know my mom would
never let me date him,
so we just hang out
in the yard and talk
and that's all, I swear.
No, that's not acceptable.
You can't hide this!
Oh yes I can.
And I was doing a good job of it
until you showed up.
Would you like me
to call my mom in here
and tell her your little secret?
Mom!
Chill!
You know I wouldn't
actually tell her.
We need you to help
save the business
and make sure my parents
don't lose the house
and blah...
Have you ever tried
just asking her for permission?
Oh no I'm telling you,
she wouldn't go for it.
She's really strict.
Tell him to come back tomorrow
at a reasonable hour.
I'll help you talk to your mom.
Fine.
Also tell him to stop
throwing rocks, it's very rude.
Okay.
Good morning dear!
Tenley, this is Larissa.
Larissa, this is Tenley,
Jared's wife.
Hi.
Excuse me, did you
just say wife?
Tenley...
Jared never mentioned you.
How long have you two
known each other?
About a year or so.
A year?
Larissa, I made some brownies.
You have to take some with you.
Okay.
Hey mom,
this is my friend, Ryan.
Hi Mrs. Carr,
so nice to meet you.
I was hoping I could take Betsey
to homecoming,
if that would be okay with you?
Great!
Ryan, is that yours?
Sure is, it's my Franken-bike.
Betsey, kitchen. Now.
So you're the secret wife, eh?
Careful, secret boyfriend.
Apparently everyone
is just full of secrets.
Mom, it's just a dance!
It's not like I'm joining
a cult or something.
You never let me do anything!
I'm not a kid anymore.
Maybe I should go over there.
What's going on?
Betsey has a boyfriend.
Yikes.
Who showed up on
that death mobile!
OMG, will one of you guys
talk some sense into this lady?
Hey, that is Mom to you.
What if...
What if Betsey can go
to the dance
on the condition that she
not ride the franken-bike.
Come on Lynn,
you let Jared take Larissa
to the same dance, same age.
I'll drive them.
That's nice of you.
It's nothing.
Lynn, all high schoolers
go to dances.
You should give this a chance.
Exactly!
It's not the middle ages,
or whatever.
You can't just lock me
in a tower.
Fine!
But no motorcycle.
And I don't want to hear,
"Mom can I get my nose pierced?"
ever again, you hear me?
I'll just do it
when I go to college!
Thanks you guys!
These look so good.
Yeah, we had them last night.
So, he's been with you
a full year?
I'm sorry.
You have nothing
to apologize for.
You seem great.
Thank you, so do you.
Bye.
You don't need
to worry about her.
You have got to stop doing that.
I don't even know how you enter
without making any noise.
You're like a Prius!
She and Jared are just friends.
They dated in high school,
but since then
they've just been homies.
So you don't need to worry.
I got a call back!
Nice, not bad
for a theater nerd.
I should do a dress rehearsal
tonight for everyone!
Tenley, will you come?
I don't know if I can.
Please! I need this part.
And I really want your feedback.
It's a school play,
not the Oscars.
Actually, I would love to come.
Really?
We're late.
Could we stop at my place first?
Sure.
That's my shirt too.
The female rhino rebuffs
the attention of the male.
But the male remains persistent
in his quest for...
You're home.
I was about to file a missing
persons report about you.
What are you wearing?
Hi...
This is Everett, Jared's friend.
Hi, I'm Cami.
Hey.
I have to change.
How is it you went from being
a completely dateless recluse
to married and dragging
some model to our place
in the span of like two days?
He's not a model,
he's Jared's best friend
and quasi brother, I guess.
So why is he here?
Because his business with Jared
is a sinking ship
that apparently only I can save.
Otherwise Ronnie and Lynn
are going to lose their house.
Jared's sister Betsey knows
everything,
But she's insisting
that I keep it a secret.
And I met Larissa,
Jared's high school sweetheart,
which was the cherry on top
of a disaster sundae.
There are too many characters,
I cannot follow this.
I don't even know
how to tell them.
Every time I try,
I get interrupted by a doctor
or a teenager.
Wait, what teenager?
There are two, Faye and Betsey.
Tenley, get a grip
and just tell them.
Cami, they'll hate me.
Why are you doing all this?
For a guy that literally
didn't tell anyone in his life
that you exist!
You talked my ear off
about Jared for a year.
Don't you think it's weird
that no one in his life
knows about you?
Did you ever consider
that maybe this whole thing
is one-sided?
1-800-OUCH.
1-800-HARSH-BUT-TRUE.
It's about more than just Jared.
Everett can't pull off
the presentation alone.
Cami...
He needs my help.
I don't want to hurt them.
Ten, you're already
hurting them.
Little Tenley.
You ready?
- Yeah.
- Let's go.
Don't forget your lunch.
Thank you.
No, that is not the right
composting method.
Let me see.
It is the right
composting method.
Jared did it himself.
No it isn't,
give me the thing.
Wrong!
Alright, I think we need
to eat some lunch.
We're both a little hungry.
I'm not hungry.
Okay, maybe
I am a little hungry.
I've got a sandwich.
That's quite the spread.
Yeah, I grew most of it
in my garden.
You're a green thumb?
I try to buy local,
I use my own produce.
It's actually pretty affordable.
Do you want some?
You can get all of this locally?
Actually very affordable.
That's good.
Affordable, Everett!
How affordable?
Like $3.50...
$3.50, that's it?
Yes!
Eliminate all the companies
you pay to import.
Who needs French wine
and Italian cheese
when you have all
these great local vendors here
that won't charge tariffs
and delivery fees?
All local, all the time,
sustainable and affordable!
Boom!
Now that is not affordable.
Sorry!
But tell me more.
I just don't know how you
can afford to be that clumsy.
Okay, you know.
What is up with you
and smashing electronics?
My frustrating,
yet often adorable
lack of spacial awareness?
Okay, so if go with your plan
then we have to swap out
the supply chain.
Which will mean we need
to have vendors.
I have an idea.
Can you meet me in an hour?
- Sure, where?
- I'll text you the address.
Hey!
Hey.
Welcome to my garden!
I thought you could try
some stuff for yourself.
Now, a lot of these
vendors operate here,
but also have farms
outside of the city.
Hold on here.
You run this whole place?
Okay, we have clover,
manukkah and lavender honey.
The lavender one is my favorite.
I'm really sorry.
So it's not just techy stuff
you like to break?
Okay, let's see.
We also have this beautiful
selection of cheeses.
All of these dips, fantastic.
And the fruit,
all organic of course.
And this is all from here?
This whole time we were so
focused on gourmet products,
that we overlooked what
was right in front of us.
Yeah, I love it here.
It's pretty fantastic.
So you won the national
science competition?
Yes, that's for my research
on soil sustainability.
I'm actually still working
on that old school project.
It's good.
Shows commitment.
Did you always know you wanted
to run your own business?
Honestly, I didn't know
what I wanted.
Jared was the idea guy
and I was just trying to repay
their family for everything.
This is the first day
I've ever looked at it
as more than just
a numbers game.
There's actually one more thing
I'd like to show you.
No, wrong again.
What?
You're telling me
that's not a carrot?
That is a beet.
That is why the sign is there.
I thought it was in there...
Hello, look who it is again.
What are you doing here?
I garden.
My garden.
Now...
Why don't you just have a little
chat with Miss Dearly there?
You didn't tell him, did you?
Not technically, no.
Seriously?
What do you think
is gonna happen
if you keep going on
like this, Tenley?
Tenley!
Do you like him?
We are this close
to saving the company
and then that's it.
I'm going to see it through
and I'm done.
I haven't seen you
look at anyone like that
since we went to
that Renaissance Fair
in sixth grade and you got
all weird about that knight
who gave you a tulip.
It was a rose.
I had a thing
for jousting, okay?
Who hasn't?
And there is nothing
going on with Everett!
- Hey...
- Hi.
She's not much of a talker.
Surprising.
- Hey.
- Hey.
We should go.
That thing for Faye.
Oh yes!
- Audition.
- Audition!
Faye's audition, of course!
Nothing going on.
Hey, Miss Dearly.
No, that's mine.
Okay fine.
Fine, fine, fine...
Hey, there you are.
I was just pummeling
Ron at bocce.
What a bold faced lie!
I'm up by two points.
You should join us.
Fun, I've never played before.
That's alright,
Everett can teach you.
I see how it is.
They're setting me up
with the novice.
Okay!
Don't mind him, he's too
competitive for his own good.
You better not mess up
my winning streak, kid.
Winning streak?
I'm the only one in this house
with a winning streak.
Undefeated champion!
Please.
Okay, I'm just warming up.
Everett?
So you want to get
Ron's ball out.
Never.
Beginner's luck!
I don't know Ron,
maybe I'm just good at this.
Nice!
What about that?
Alright, you got this.
Wait, did I just win?
You're the champion.
- It's a good shot.
- Nice winning streak.
Ladies and gentlemen,
please take your seats.
Showtime.
The stage looks amazing.
Look at this.
I love that.
The applause sign, how cute.
Now see that noble
and most sovereign reason.
Like sweet bells jangled
out of tune and harsh,
that unmatch'd form and feature
of blown youth
blasted with ecstasy.
Oh woe is me, to have seen
what I have seen,
see what I see.
Lovely, just lovely.
Amazing!
I have no idea
what it was about.
It's about seeing
someone good and noble
turn into something ugly
and lose themself
to the point where
they're unrecognizable.
Come on, Dad.
Okay.
Faye, you were amazing.
Really? Thanks.
I'm sorry about that.
You okay?
Yeah, I just got
a little overwhelmed.
I get it.
There's a lot going on.
What are you doing?
Doodling.
It's really relaxing,
you should try it.
Okay.
- That was you.
- That was you!
That was all you that time!
I'll get it.
No no, I'll get it.
Wait please, let me get it.
Speech!
Alright, settle down everyone.
Settle down.
First of all,
I think that we owe
a round of great applause
to Faye for her
stunning performance
this evening.
And I've also got
some other news.
I talked Dr. McMahon.
Jared is doing amazingly well.
He's going to get his knee
surgery tonight.
We can see him tomorrow morning.
And... Tenley.
We started off the week
with some bad news.
And then we got
some wonderful news.
We can't wait to
welcome you to the family.
So to our growing,
wonderful, wild family!
Cheers!
Cheers.
Thank you again for
another wonderful meal.
Your family has been so kind.
It's your family too, Petal.
Oh no please, leave it.
No...
Lynn, I insist.
You are so sweet.
Jared is going
to be over the moon
to see you tomorrow.
I can't wait.
Tenley dear, I noticed you
don't wear a ring.
I don't...
I don't really wear
a lot of jewelry.
Well, there's an heirloom.
It's my grandmother's
engagement ring
and I would like you to have it.
I couldn't.
Nonsense, you should have it.
- I shouldn't have it.
- Just try it on!
- Lynn, I can't.
- Just try...
Okay.
It's perfection!
Oh Everett, come here.
Come look!
I just gave Tenley my
grandmother's engagement ring.
Look, it's just perfect.
Yeah, it's nice.
Goodnight, you two.
It's tight.
It's like really tight!
You should try sliding it...
I'm trying to slide it off.
Help! I can't get it off!
I've got an idea,
I'll be right back.
No!
The ring looks good on you.
It's not meant for me, clearly.
You can get it resized.
It's like everything I do
gets me further into a mess.
That's a bit dramatic.
Okay.
Let's see.
You want a count down?
Yes, please.
3-2-1.
It worked.
Thank you, thank you...
Thank you.
Do you want a ride home?
I can just walk.
Do you want some company?
Sure.
That's great news about Jared.
Yeah, it's terrific.
You first.
I just want to say thank you
for everything today.
Seriously, it's amazing.
It's a game changer.
It's nothing.
It's not nothing.
And I know that I've
been a bit protective.
Protective, really?
I had not noticed.
It's just that, you know,
they're my family
and Jared's my brother.
And you puff your chest out
when you see a threat coming.
Yeah, I get it.
Hey, I now know why that
Jared kept you a secret.
Why?
It's just that...
We're kind of
like a package deal
and don't get me wrong,
it's great,
but I just wish sometimes it
didn't have to be like that.
That our identities
are that intertwined.
That's probably why.
No, I envy that.
Don't.
I'm an only child.
My mom raised me by herself
and she worked all the time.
I always thought that siblings
seemed like so much fun.
Its kind of hard to
play tag by yourself.
I won almost every time.
I'll bet you did.
Yeah, they're fun sometimes.
When they're not stealing your
clothes and stuff like that.
Which is something you
picked up awfully quick.
To be fair, I thought I
was stealing Jared's clothes.
You are so lucky to have
such a big, warm family.
The noises, the laughter,
the chaos of it all.
Everett, I love it.
Everybody is all so
different, you know?
I never got to experience that.
My childhood was all one note.
My mom and I were so similar,
we might as well have
been the same person.
Nothing wrong with that.
No, I know.
It's just that...
I guess I never realized
how vibrant a family could be
until I met yours.
They're your family now, too.
Right.
What were you going
to say earlier?
What?
Before the whole childhood
back story.
It's nothing.
There's so much
going on right now,
I don't want to have
to worry about it.
Thanks for walking me home.
Yeah.
So tomorrow, right?
See you tomorrow.
Hi.
I...
I thought I should talk to you
before the rest of the family.
I wanted to apologize
for letting things
get so out of hand.
You have always been
such a great friend to me.
And I'm so sorry if I
mistook that friendship
for something more.
I built you up to be
this mythic figure.
You were always behind a screen.
It was easier that way,
you know?
Be honest.
Do you think they'll hate me
when they find out tomorrow?
Right.
By the way...
I think the company
is going to be okay.
Yeah Everett,
he did an amazing job.
He's actually...
He's wonderful.
Feelings!
That's bad,
that is so very, very bad.
Do you mind
if I stress eat this?
Oh dear.
Isn't that sweet?
Hi Tenley.
You came to see him last night?
Why isn't he awake yet?
Doc said he's still
on a lot of medication
after the surgery,
could be awhile yet.
Nothing to worry about, dear.
How's he doing?
A-okay.
That's great.
Then he'll be ready
for Wednesday.
I have to tell you something.
It is long overdue.
What is it, Petal?
I'm not Jared's...
Oh hey, I actually
need to talk to you
for a second,
if you could just...
Betsey, what are you doing?
You can't tell them yet!
I am tired of lying
and lying and lying.
Please! Just a little longer.
Until Wednesday.
What difference is a couple days
going to make?
The board moved
the presentation up.
It's in two days.
My family needs this company
to survive.
No! The presentation, it's done.
I did my part,
they can handle it from here.
But there's no way Jared's
going to be ready in time.
Look.
It has to be you, Tenley.
Everett keeps saying how solid
you guys are as a team.
He needs your help still.
We can't lose the house.
My parents have put so much
into this company.
There's too much riding on it
for you to give up now.
Okay, okay. Fine!
I will do the presentation,
but then that's it.
There's just
one more thing I need.
You have got to be kidding me!
Want to help me
pick out a dress?
Mom's going to make me
re-use her 80's poof dress.
I have a better idea.
So?
What did you want to tell us?
It's nothing.
Tenley, by the way,
the presentation is on...
Wednesday, yes.
Betsey told me.
If Jared can't do it,
do you think that you
could handle his part?
Of course.
Tenley, you're not
wearing the ring?
Yeah Lynn, we needed
vice-grips to get it off.
It doesn't fit.
Oh well, we can
just get it sized.
We should go to the office.
Bye.
Okay, I'll run through
the lower import costs.
Right, and I'll put out
the climate data...
And then we both finish
with the mission statement.
Cheers!
Okay, you know.
I'll save that.
Cheers to sustainability.
Oh no, the infamous happy dance.
You know it!
I was...
I will show you.
It looks better on you.
I'll show you.
I need to see it from the start.
Okay, it's going
to go like this.
One-two-three, four-five-six...
A bit of a turn...
And then like a pose moment.
One-two-three,
I'm not doing it.
I just wanted to see you
do it one more time.
I should go...
Cami is lending Betsey
some dress samples.
Okay, yeah.
I'll see you tomorrow.
Bye.
Hey.
There's so many.
It pays to have a roommate
who works in fashion.
Okay, you can't just
leave cool details
like that out for so long.
Honestly, that should've been
the first thing you told me.
Okay, okay.
One-two-three.
I feel like a pastry.
But you're such
an adorable pastry.
I look like a vampire!
Yeah, okay.
I don't know about this one.
I love it.
Me too.
Thank goodness, because we
were running out of options.
Tenley, thank you
for bringing these over.
Really, you saved us
a trip to the mall.
It's nothing.
No seriously, you haven't
seen my mom and I at the mall.
It's that bad.
We are the worst at the mall.
The last time we went,
she wanted to buy this...
What did you call it again?
A romper.
A romper, that's right.
It is the most ridiculous thing.
There's just no reason for your
shirt and pants to be attached.
You're not a toddler.
It was cute, Mom.
Maybe when you were three.
Regardless, your roommate
is like my fairy godmother.
I'll let her know you said that.
Larissa!
What a lovely surprise.
I just stopped
by to return this.
Hey, Larissa.
Long time no see.
I'm sorry, I should go.
I didn't mean to interrupt.
You're not interrupting,
you should join us.
Come in.
No, I should go.
What's up with her?
I don't know,
seasonal allergies maybe?
She seemed kinda sad.
Shoes.
I have shoe options to try.
Great!
Hi, you've reached Rita.
I'm on an excursion
in the Alaskan wilderness
and won't be by my phone for
another three to five months.
Whatever the glaciers
need from me.
Leave a message!
Hi mom, I...
I know you're on an eco mission
and trying to save
the planet right now, but...
I really need you.
If you could call me back,
that would be great.
I love you.
How come the sunshine
isn't coming
through your pores today?
You speak?
Only when it's
absolutely necessary.
I've been running this garden
for five years
and I've never heard
you say a word to anyone.
Let me guess...
You're crying
because of that boy
that was here the other day.
Or is it the boy you
were always tweeting at?
Both.
Mrs. Dearly, it's a mess.
Love is a lot like gardening.
You water the parts
you want to keep,
and you weed out
the ones you don't.
What if I'm the weed?
A violet is a weed.
And I adore violets.
Water the boy you like.
Come in!
- Hey.
- Hi.
I'm sorry I was so harsh
the other day.
No, that's okay.
You were right, I should
have told them from the start
and I wouldn't be
in this stupid mess.
You were just doing
what you thought was right.
The presentation to the board
is tomorrow and then that's it.
I'm just going to
put it all out there.
Let the chips fall as they may.
You know, maybe there's a chance
Everett will understand.
Yeah, I doubt that.
I'm strangely more worried
about what
Everett will think
of me than Jared.
Of course you are, you like him.
And I'm proud of you
for building a connection
with a real human man
in the real world.
Even if that relationship
is probably doomed.
1-800-RUDE!
1-800 be glad you
didn't get arrested!
You!
What? I'm just saying
the likelihood of him
being cool with dating
a girl who pretended
to be married to his
comatose best friend
slash sort of brother,
is pretty slim.
But not impossible!
Okay, that's fair.
I'm here if you need me.
You know that right?
Thank you.
Of course.
Are you serious?
So...
What are we doing?
Our senior year, right
before state championships,
Jared and I, we were
unbelievably nervous.
I was nervous,
Jared didn't play a lot.
He was on the bench.
Regardless, we were
too high to sleep,
so this is where we went.
You ready?
Here is where we're going?
- We're going here?
- Yeah.
This is it.
Just wait for me, please.
Okay, so this is
your old high school.
But what is with
the twinkle lights?
That was all that I could find.
- You don't like them?
- No, they're lovely.
But Everett, I have no idea
what we're doing here.
Remember I said we came here
before big matches?
And then after that,
it kind of turned
into anything big.
High pressure situations,
bad things happening,
good things happening.
We just come here
and we play it out.
Okay.
We have something big happening
and I thought you should
be a part of the tradition.
- Heads or tails?
- Tails.
Kick or side?
Yeah, I don't know what either
of those words mean.
You want to kick,
cause there's just one side.
Okay.
And you're up!
Oh my god, right away.
Okay, I'm going.
And Tenley Sweeney tries
to make a back door open.
She can...
No, you're off side.
Now the goal is open.
Oh my god, she scored.
And Tenley Sweeney
gets the game winner!
Hey, I wanted to
apologize to you.
Apologize for what?
Misjudging you.
I think that you're amazing.
Everett, I have to
tell you something.
These past few days,
I feel like a tiny seed
that has been swept up
and carried by a
hundred different winds.
And you think
you're doing a good thing,
but that good thing turns out
to be super, super bad.
But you never meant to be bad.
And the truth is that
sometimes people
are just accidentally bad,
but they never meant to be bad.
They meant to be good.
Does that make any sense?
No, you're not really making
a lot of sense right now.
I don't know how we got
into this mess,
but I feel so compelled to
tell you the truth right now.
I am not...
Betsey?
What do you mean
you're not Betsey?
I mean Betsey, our Betsey,
is about to get
on a franken-bike.
Betsey! Both of you off
that bike, now!
How could you be
so irresponsible?
Sneaking off on a motorcycle?
It's called a franken-bike.
That doesn't matter.
Your mom made herself
very clear.
How could you break
her trust like that?
I still don't get
what the big deal is.
The big deal is you lied,
Betsey.
Pot meet kettle,
right Tenley?
Well, we should go.
Both of you!
Get off the bike!
That is what you
sounded like, I swear.
- Did I say that?
- Yeah.
That's why we do stuff
like that.
It's a nice easy going night,
there's no yelling.
It did not go as expected.
Nothing ever does.
Good night, Everett.
Yeah, good night.
Thank goodness you're back.
Please help me with this
mysterious sobbing woman.
Are you okay?
I can't take it anymore,
I have to tell you.
Tell me what?
I am a horrible, awful,
wretched person.
I'm a mistress!
I can't believe that
I'm the other woman,
but I didn't know about you!
I swear I didn't know about you.
I know you don't know me,
but I feel like we
could be friends?
Is there any way
you could forgive me?
You did nothing wrong, Larissa.
I'm not Jared's wife.
What do you mean?
Yeah, we're not married.
I'm just a friend from
a sustainability forum.
I called and he
was in the hospital
and then next thing
I was signing all these forms.
There was a mix-up,
the doctor thought I
was his wife, but I'm not.
Really, I've barely
even met him in real life.
So, he wasn't cheating
on you with me?
No.
And he was always
just my boyfriend?
Yes.
This is so absurd!
Absolutely ridiculous.
I know.
Larissa, I'm so sorry.
Would you like some tea?
Yeah, I would love some tea.
Oh my gosh.
You lied to both of them.
I just thought you
were better than that.
What's going on?
You lied about having a wife.
Then apparently, you have
a girlfriend on top of that?
What's wrong with you?
What are you talking about?
I don't have a wife.
And I've never
cheated on anyone.
Well then who is she?
How am I supposed to know?
I've never met this person
before in my life.
Tenley?
This was never meant to happen.
We were just supposed
to go for coffee...
Wait, Tenley?
Tenley, the chat room girl?
So you do know her?
No! Well, kind of.
She's a pen pal,
a sustainability contact.
Someone I'd run business
ideas by, nothing more.
I've been dating Larissa
for the past two months.
Now hold on!
So this whole time Tenley,
you've been lying to us!
From the bottom of my heart,
I am sorry.
Really I tried to tell you...
I pressured her to stay
and help the business.
It's my fault too!
You knew?
You and dad were so worried
about losing the house
and the business going under.
Everett...
Let me explain.
Everett, wait!
I knew it.
You know, the second
they mentioned the wife thing
I knew that that was a lie.
Please just let me explain...
Explain what?
How you barged into my family?
How you manipulated us
into thinking
that you're somebody
that you're not?
I said I don't deal with liars.
No, I know.
I lied and I am so sorry.
I swear, I was
just trying to help.
Right.
I loved being a part
of your family.
Do you get that?
It felt so nice.
And then you, Everett.
I fell for you, okay?
I think that you should stay
away from me and my family.
I know you don't want to hear
her name right now, but...
Tenley did a great job
on all this.
Yeah, let's just
get this over with.
Using this new model,
we can launch ourselves
into the territory
where we not only can say no
to acquisitions,
we can compete in a real way
with Panama.
And since all the goods
are local,
we'll also do a service
to the all artisans
in our very own community.
So if you'll just turn to...
Courtesy of Tenley.
Feel free to sample.
Wanna watch Planet Earth
and eat pizza?
Yes.
Listen, I know
you're really bummed
about this whole thing,
but you aren't alone.
You have me.
I love you.
I love you too.
You really need a shower
though, babe.
What?
Oh wait, Mrs. Dearly!
She talked to me.
Shut up! She talks?
She spoke, she said words.
Mom!
Hi! I miss you.
You would not believe
the last few days I've had.
Yeah, I'll tell you everything.
I guess we saved the company.
Yeah.
Look man.
I'm sorry for accusing you
of cheating.
It's been a weird week.
I got married and unmarried
and I wasn't even awake
to know about it.
You know, even though Tenley
did a lot of things wrong...
She did a lot right.
I mean, she did save my life.
And she saved this place.
And she got you
to finally take part
in my side of the business.
I just don't know how somebody
does something like that?
Betsey told me you guys
went to the soccer field.
So?
That is sacred ground.
I thought that she was family,
that's all.
You don't think I noticed?
Noticed what?
Remember that year we went up
against each other
in the State Quiz Bowl?
The final question was,
"Name the only switch hitter
with 536 home runs."
And I know you knew the answer
because
we just finished watching
Mickey Mantle's biography.
But you looked at me and you
took your finger off the buzzer.
I saw it, and that was it.
I buzzed, you didn't.
I won state and you didn't.
You always just let me win.
No I haven't.
It's practically
a reflex with you.
So much so that you
don't even realize
that we're not even
competing anymore.
Hey, which one of you guys is
going to give me a ride home?
I'll take you home.
Yeah, I'm going to hang here.
Everett...
Maybe you should let
yourself win this one.
Betsey, why didn't you
tell me about Tenley?
Why does it even matter?
I mean Jared is better.
He and Larissa are together.
The company is fine.
That is not the point.
She's a nice person.
She tried to tell us
the truth over and over
and most of the time
I was the one
begging her not to.
So, if you're going
to be mad at anyone,
it should be me.
I can't be mad at you, though.
Well, then I guess that's that.
By the way, I never told you...
What else haven't you told me?
You have a great dad yell.
Well, back to our usual spot.
Cheers to your first marriage!
And to putting myself out there!
You were right, Cami.
I needed it.
So does that mean
I can finally set up
an online dating profile
for you?
Yeah, let's not get ahead
of ourselves.
I'm proud of you.
You're my family.
You're my family too.
I don't see any mint
like we talked about.
And yes, we will grow you mint...
Cocktails.
I know, I know.
But we need more green
in your garden and less...
Brown!
Less brown! Yes, that's
what we're working on first.
We're going to
bring it all to life
and then we'll do mint.
We have to do it in stages.
Green first.
I don't know if you're ready
for mint yet.
I... sure.
That's what I'm saying.
I try.
You try so hard.
I always forget to water them.
You dropped this.
Nice catch.
Did the board sell?
Nope.
That makes me so happy.
You saved the company.
And you saved my
best friend's life.
You made me realize that
I need to stop letting
everybody else win
and go after what I want.
And what is that?
You.
They're plants, Tenley!
They're literally
inanimate objects.
You've got to get
yourself a real pet.
Good morning, Cami.
Dinner later tonight,
don't forget!
Aye aye, captain.
Morning, Mrs. Dearly!
Tomatoes like acidic soil.
Put a couple of tablespoons
in your watering can.
It will help.
So cool.
No...
So amazing.
And you're amazing for
sending it. Smiley face.
Wannabe Posh Spice.
My mugshot?
What is in my teeth?
Just call him,
tell him how you feel!
You've been talking for a year
and you've never even met him.
The only guy I've ever talked
to for that long was my dentist.
We're just online friends.
An environment
chat room friendship
shouldn't last a year, Ten.
It's time to get
this off your device
and into the real world.
Okay first of all,
we met on an online
sustainability forum,
not a chat room.
And second of all,
how do we even know
Jared feels the same way?
When was the last time
you went on a real date?
College, that was when.
With that Henry guy who thought
beer pong and cold pizza
qualified as romantic.
That's not fair!
Sometimes Henry and I also
went to the library together.
Yeah, so he could copy
all of your biology notes.
You've been crushing on
this guy for too long.
It's time to ask him to meet.
The only way you'll know how
he feels is if you meet him.
And there's no guarantee
that he's not a catfish.
He could be a weirdo.
You're right, okay.
You got this.
I don't know.
Do you remember what happened
the last time
I tried to put myself
out there romantically?
The vigilante crime fighter guy?
He was funny.
He wore a costume
under all of his clothing
and broke his leg trying
to jump off our fire escape.
Yeah, like I said,
he was hilarious.
He couldn't fly!
He tried.
Come on Tenley, just go for it!
Okay, okay.
Just keep it casual.
Tell him what ethically
sourced diamonds you're into
and how many kids
you want to have.
Cami!
It's time.
Okay.
I'm going to take this
over there.
Alright Tenley, you got this.
Just be very brave
and call Jared.
Calling Jared.
Please don't pick up.
Hello?
Hello, Jared!
Hi, it's me.
It's Tenley.
Tenley, hi!
So cool to hear your voice.
How are you?
Yeah, good.
So listen...
I was thinking...
just really not a big deal,
but I have been wondering...
Yeah?
Hello?
Maybe we should meet?
Sure, how about coffee tomorrow?
Milk and Honey at 9:30?
Yes!
I mean, very cool.
Great, I'll see you
there tomorrow.
Hey.
You dropped that.
Sorry.
You all right?
It was a cute happy dance.
I liked the spin.
Did you win the lottery
or something?
No.
Exactly how much of
that dance did you see?
What dance?
What's your name?
Tenley!
I have to go.
I'm Everett.
Who was that?
I don't know.
- Cami!
- Yeah?
We're meeting at our
favorite cafe tomorrow
and I have nothing to wear.
It's true,
your options are dismal.
You dress like you could have
a job interview at any moment.
Fortunately, you have
a very stylish best friend
who works in fashion.
Where are you going?
That's stunning!
Take it, it's perfect.
And keep your soil samples
away from the chiffon.
Thank you Cami, you're the best.
I know.
Hello, nice to meet you.
I'm Tenley.
Tenley.
You look so beautiful.
Tenley... Tenley... Tenley.
Tenley...
Tenley, wake up!
Tenley, you overslept.
What?
- What time is it?
- 9:15.
I overslept.
I can't believe I overslept!
- I never oversleep.
- I'm aware.
It's okay, don't stress.
It'll all be okay!
It's a sign!
It's a sign I shouldn't go.
I should call him and tell him
that I've got a last minute
plane to catch.
Or that I've got a job
in Tasmania
and I'm never coming back.
Or that I'm officially a plant.
That's it!
I'm a shrub now.
I'm a shrub and I never move
and I never date
and I certainly
never leave the house...
Snap out of it!
No one is going to Tasmania,
or turning into a shrub.
Calm down, breathe.
Everything's gonna be fine.
Put this on,
go for coffee and be yourself.
Okay?
And hurry up,
you're going to be late.
OMG, how did it go?
He stood me up.
No, he didn't!
Call him.
Get an explanation,
he owes you that.
I don't know Cam,
maybe I should just let it go.
Ten, you've spoken to him
every day for a year.
He owes you a conversation.
He can't just ghost you.
Okay.
Okay, you're right.
But please don't
let this discourage you
from taking risks.
Yeah, thank you.
Hello?
Jared hi, just wondering why
you decided to stand me up?
Was I kidding myself
into thinking
that maybe we could have...
Hold on, slow down.
I'm Doctor McMahon.
I'm the attending physician here
at Mercy General Hospital.
I hate to be the one
to tell you this,
but Jared was in a
bike accident this morning
and brought into us.
Is he okay?
Tell me what I can do.
Oh yeah, he's stable
and he's going to be
back to himself in no time,
don't you worry.
I do need to ask though,
do you know if he has
any allergies to anything?
Strawberries, cats, tree nuts
and the word moist.
Dang, sounds like you two
have a beautiful relationship.
Yeah, I guess we kind of do.
Okay, well he's going
to be in room 314.
What's your name?
Tenley. T-E-N-L-E-Y.
Got it.
I'm going to add you
to the visitors list.
You're his wife, right?
Yes, of course.
Great, I'll see you soon,
Mrs. Carr.
Hello?
You keep fighting
the good fight!
I told you not to keep trying
to build that furniture
by yourself.
This is the fourth time
this week.
Please hire someone
before you lose an eye.
Say hi to the wife for me.
The nurse is on a break,
can I help you?
Yes, I think we spoke
on the phone?
I'm Tenley looking
for Jared Carr?
Oh yes, of course.
Jared, yes.
I just need you to sign
the visitors log.
Then I have a couple of forms
I need you to sign.
Sure.
I need your signature here
on this one.
There.
And then a Sue Mary over there.
Yes.
And just your initials
on that one.
Okay.
Great.
That was so cute,
"allergic to the word moist."
Thank you, I think there
might have been a mistake here.
You know what?
I'm going to get you to
have a seat here, Mrs. Carr.
I'll let you know
when you can see him.
Actually, it's Sweeney.
My last name is Sweeney.
Keeping your own last name,
I like that.
Ms. Sweeney.
You can see him now.
Hi.
I'm Tenley.
It's nice to finally meet you.
Well, this is definitely not how
I pictured our first date going.
Maybe it'll be a funny story
to tell the grandkids one day.
Jared!
It's you! It's you!
Let me look at you.
I'm sorry, who are you?
I am Jared's mother dear, Lynn.
The doctor just told us
about you.
Happy dance?
Handsome stranger guy?
You two know each other?
No.
Does someone want to tell me
what's going on here?
Hi folks.
Just wanted to give you
all an update.
As you know,
Jared took a significant bump
on the head.
So we're keeping him
in a deep sleep
until the swelling goes down.
But we're confident that
he'll be back on
his feet in no time.
That's great news,
thank you doctor.
Don't thank me.
Thank her.
He's going to be okay,
Mrs. Carr, all thanks to you.
Excuse me?
Right, Sweeney! My bad.
Those forms, consenting to
us continuing the treatment.
They saved his life.
He's lucky to have you,
lucky you got here so quickly.
I...
Oh come on now!
Don't be so humble.
You saved him!
That's what I signed?
No no no, I, I...
You you you, saved his life.
Either that or you're
committing insurance fraud.
Am I right?
I got you. Zing!
- Can you imagine?
- Yeah.
Who would do such a thing?
- Right?
- Crazy!
Sorry to break up
the comedy routine.
That's good stuff
and everything, it is.
But can someone explain
to me who this woman is?
She's his wife?
She's his wife?
I have been wanting Jared
to get married.
And I find out today
of all days...
Okay, now I just...
Hey!
Everyone simmer down.
This is fragile time for Jared
and coma patients
are sensitive to noise.
So please, I'm going
to have to ask you all
to take the party
some place else.
Can't we stay?
I'm his mother, I can't
just leave him like this.
What Jared needs right now
is rest and quiet.
He's in good hands, I promise.
I'll tell you what.
Why don't we all
go back to the house?
You can explain
this thing over dinner...
Ronnie, that's ridiculous...
No, maybe we don't understand
but she's family now.
Thank you.
It's been a strange day,
I think I should just get home.
- I agree with that.
- Nonsense!
You probably
haven't eaten all day
and we would love to meet you.
We insist you come to dinner.
Absolutely!
O what noble mind
is here o'erthrown!
The courtier's, soldier's...
I forgot the rest.
Just keep practicing.
She's got a big audition
for the school play coming up.
I'm doing Ophelia's
monologue from Hamlet.
Faye, time for dinner.
Go get your father.
Dad! It's dinner time!
Can't a man bocce in peace?
I said go get him,
not yell at him.
Fine, I'm going.
Oh no need, Petal.
I've got this.
Thanks.
Father, the queen
has dispatched me
to fetch thee to dine
in the great hall.
Okay, I'll be a minute.
Sir, the time for sporting
has expired.
Your kin dines
in the great hall.
Make haste!
Don't you speak
regular English anymore?
Mom said dinner is almost ready
and she wants you to help.
Well, after you m'lady.
Salad, salad, salad, I got it.
So, you must be the mystery wife
behind door number 1.
Betsey.
Tenley, we do have a lot
of questions for you.
I'll say.
I'm sorry, I know
this is a lot to absorb.
I really care about Jared,
but this is just a
misunderstanding that spiraled.
I once took a plane
to Rochester, Minnesota
and I was supposed to go
to Rochester, New York.
That's a misunderstanding!
We are just grateful
you're here.
Is anybody going to mention
how messed up this is?
Everett, don't be
such a guard dog.
So, was it a Vegas wedding
or something?
Or did you guys go
on that reality TV show
where you meet the person
and marry them on the same day?
Okay, let's not overwhelm her.
Let's start with
something simple.
Like, what do you do
for a living?
I'm a horticulturist.
I specialize in
eco-friendly farming.
And I have recently narrowed
my focus to soil methods.
I also just heard
how boring that sounds.
No.
It sounds like a great match
for my Jared.
He loves that stuff.
He feels very strongly
about plastic bottles.
He's even more angry at straws.
Jared is so driven to work
with people
who want to better the planet.
That's actually how we met,
on a sustainability forum.
A chat room?
Seriously?
No, a forum.
What's the difference?
Now that sounds perfect
for my Jared.
Meeting a girl who
loves reusable plastic.
I once used a pillowcase
for a plastic bag.
That's very inventive, Ron.
Yeah, it's inventive, it's good.
How do we know that
she's for real?
When's his birthday?
January 10th, but I'm not his...
- What's his favorite place?
- Rose Valley.
But I'm trying to tell you
that I'm not his...
What's his pet peeve?
People touching his laptop
screen and leaving fingerprints.
But for the last time, people...
She got you!
Everett, enough!
Tenley, I insist you stay
with us tonight.
It's been a long day, and
you should just rest up here.
I really shouldn't...
Nonsense, you will stay
in Jared's old room
and that is that!
- Lovely.
- Good.
But, you don't even...
Alright okay, I'm done.
But I am onto you.
And when he was 16,
he demanded that we all
learn how to compost.
He used to dress up like a fish
and get people
to sign petitions.
Well, he sounds
like a wonderful child.
He really was.
Always very conscious of others.
But very private
about his love life.
And of course, attached
at the hip with Everett.
Do you have a big family?
No, it's just me and my mom.
We're like the two musketeers.
Kind of.
That's nice.
I'll bet you are
your mother's treasure!
Lynn, I'm really sorry
to have to tell you this,
- but I'm not...
- Mom!
Yes, dear?
Can you help me run lines?
Of course, be right there.
Just give me a minute, Petal.
She really wants
to ace this audition.
No worries.
The restroom?
Oh yeah, just down the hall.
What are you doing?
Just tell them the truth Tenley,
you're being ridiculous!
Woman arrested for pretending...
Just do it.
Just say it and run.
I can't do this
without Jared, Ron.
How bad is it?
We have a week
until we're toast.
He's not going to
be ready in time.
Tenley.
You rang?
This is perfect!
What is?
Tenley can help you.
Help with what, exactly?
No way Ron, absolutely not.
Just think about it.
She has similar expertise
to Jared.
She can help you
with the presentation.
All you need to do is tell her
what you need, Everett.
Swallow your pride.
Speak up boy!
Jared and I have a start up
that's being circled by
a conglomerate: Panama.
They're trying to acquire us.
Evil overlord corporation,
you get the gist.
Unfortunately, a large portion
of our shareholders
are actually
considering the deal.
It would be the death
of our company.
There's no way a
conglomerate like that
would sustain our ethos.
They are just trying
to buy up small business
to eliminate competition.
They'd throw out
our green practices,
they'd throw our employees
down the drain.
It would be our nightmare.
That's awful.
But I don't understand
how I would help?
Jared and I were trying
to prepare a presentation
to remind the board of the
company's mission, the values.
Trying to convince them
not to sell.
I see.
Well, I was the financial side,
Jared was sustainability.
I know some sustainability,
but it's not enough to finish.
And that is where you
come in, Tenley.
It's going to be a lot of work,
so you should say no.
Yeah, tonight has gotten
really out of hand...
My son's business depends on it.
Please.
Okay...
Okay.
Great, I'll let you two
sort it out.
Alright.
So...
So.
This is what we're working with
so far.
This is messy.
You know, no one is forcing you.
You really don't like asking
for help, do you?
Not from people I don't know.
Why were you so happy
the other night?
I don't know what
you're talking about.
Yes you do,
you threw a phone at me.
You remember that?
Yes.
I was talking to Jared,
if you must know.
Why did Jared keep his marriage
a secret?
Something doesn't smell
right about this.
I'm going to figure out
what you're hiding.
Tenley, I put fresh sheets
on Jared's bed for you.
- Thank you, Lynn.
- You're welcome, dear.
Let's just forget it.
What about the presentation?
You know what I
don't understand?
Is how I randomly run
into a girl in the street
and the next day, I find out
she's my best friends wife.
So Jared never
told anyone about me?
No.
And I'm going to guess he
never told you about me, either.
It's my nightmare, Cam.
They think I'm his wife!
And now on top of everything,
I have to help
save the business.
It's like every time
I try to escape,
I somehow end up with something
else that needs to be saved.
They sound like
reasonable people,
just tell them.
And say what?
Hi, I'm the random internet lady
that apparently committed
insurance fraud
when I saved your son's
life earlier
and now you're all convinced
that we ran away together
and got married
when really, this morning
would've been the first time
I actually met the guy?
Yes, because that's the truth.
OMG, I knew it.
Cam, I gotta go.
Betsey, we can talk about this.
So you lied about everything?
Not exactly.
I wonder what the
authorities would say
if they found out about this?
Please, I am begging you.
Chill, I'm not going to blow up
your little secret.
You're not?
No way.
My mom would be heartbroken.
She's been wanting Jared to
find someone for literally ever.
I spent the whole night
trying to tell you all,
but I couldn't get a word
in edgewise.
Welcome to my life.
It takes two weeks to get my mom
to sign a permission slip.
Why don't you just wait
till Jared wakes up?
My family's under so
much stress already.
I don't think they
can handle more bad news.
I don't know...
Plus, it sounds like
Jared and Everett
need you to bail
the business out.
You can't just leave now.
This company is everything
to them.
And, my parents took out
a second mortgage
to help them get the business
off the ground.
Oh no.
Oh yes.
You leave now
and my whole family
is going to the poor house.
You're in deep, lady.
Buried.
Thank you.
For saving my brother
and for agreeing
to help his business.
I know you're just
some internet weirdo
and technically I should like,
karate chop you
and call the cops.
But you seem pretty okay to me.
Thank you.
Betsey?
Yeah?
What's with Everett?
Don't worry about him.
We're basically his only family,
so he's protective.
He means well.
It's my nightmare.
It's absolutely my nightmare.
Jared?
Jared it's me, your mother,
Lynn Carr.
He's got a concussion,
he's not deaf.
Mom?
Good morning.
He's awake.
Wonderful.
Let's have a look here.
That's very bright, mister.
Well, you had a bump
on the head.
Bike accident.
I did?
My head feels like cotton.
That's the gauze.
Please don't pull that off.
Who are you?
Me? I'm Tenley.
Oh dear.
Okie dokie, artichokie.
Night night.
What happened?
Is he okay?
Nothing to worry about.
He's still heavily sedated.
Perfectly normal for him
to be a little bit loopy.
He'll be in and out
for the next few days.
Now, as soon as his head injury
is stabilized,
we definitely need to operate
on that knee.
But he will be okay?
He'll be able to eat jello
like a normal person one day?
Oh yeah, fork and all.
Or do you eat jello
with a spoon?
You know what?
I think I'm team fork.
Anyways, all we have
to do now is let him rest
and let the body do the work.
We should go too,
we have a lot of work to do.
You don't have to help me,
you know.
Ron can be hard to say no to,
but I can handle this on my own.
Okay, sure.
Just out of curiosity,
what percentage of household
waste can be recycled?
52 percent.
Oh... 84.
It's okay to just admit
you need my help.
If we're going to do this,
I need you to be honest with me.
No lies.
I can't do business with people
I can't trust.
Okay.
So, tell me honestly.
Why didn't Jared tell us
about you?
Honestly?
I don't know.
Alright.
Let's get to work then.
Alright, I'll meet you
in the conference room.
You know where that is, right?
Yes.
Of course.
Please be the conference room...
Oh no.
Everett! Everett help!
A little help in here, please!
Hi...
I just wanted to make sure
that the cleaning products
were all non-toxic.
And... yes.
Look at that,
this is a good choice.
Okay.
The sustainability initiatives,
they're remarkable.
But you're forcing the customer
to eat the bulk of the costs.
We've been over and over this.
We can't keep our employees paid
if some of that burden
doesn't fall on the consumer.
Right, but that's why
a lot of people
shy away from green products
is because of the cost.
If you want to stand out,
you have to be affordable.
The board is going to sell,
I can feel it.
Ronnie and Lynn,
they put all their trust in us
and we're going to fail them.
There has to be a way
to streamline.
Make your products appeal
to consumers.
Actually be able to compete
with Panama.
If you have any
miracle solutions,
I am all ears.
This doesn't make any sense.
Of course it does!
When you're only selling
expensive imported products...
No, no, not that, you.
What do you mean?
I've known Jared my entire life,
he tells me everything.
He told me the time that
he peed himself
in sophomore gym class
after the quarter mile run.
And he had already
showered and changed,
so he didn't have to,
but he did.
Because he tells me everything.
But you, he hasn't told me
anything about you.
I get it.
It's a lot to take in.
And the last thing I intended
was for my presence
to cause such a tornado.
I promise I only want
what's best for Jared.
And I was trying to do what
was right in the moment,
but I see now that I just need
to come out...
Hi Lynn.
No I haven't yet,
I will, I will.
Okay, bye.
That's Lynn, she's insisting
we both go to dinner tonight.
I'm sorry, what were you saying?
Nothing.
He was an awful soccer player.
Always kicking it
in the wrong goal.
Everett was always the athlete
of the family.
I don't know about that,
he had me beat
in track and field.
Nonsense!
Jared always ran like a giraffe
that got shot with
a tranquilizer dart.
You let him win.
He was lucky to have you
watching out for him.
No, I was lucky
to have you guys.
It must have been nice
having siblings.
I always wanted them.
Well our family is your family
now, Petal.
And we're all in this together.
You should stay again tonight.
We'll have breakfast
in the morning.
Yeah, stay!
I would love that.
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
Let's get started
earlier tomorrow.
We're running out of time.
Yeah, sure.
I'll come pick you up
first thing.
Sounds good.
What?
Nothing, I just haven't seen
that shirt in forever.
I guess Jared's
had it the whole time.
I'm sorry,
I thought this was Jared's.
Doesn't matter.
Alright.
Tomorrow.
See you tomorrow.
Jiminy Cricket!
You scared me.
So, how did it go today?
It was worse than I thought
it would be.
Everett definitely
doesn't trust me.
Well, you did just emerge
from some chat room
and dupe your way
into my family.
So can you blame him?
No.
So what's the deal?
You guys are his only family.
What's that all about?
He lost his parents
when he was young.
His grandparents raised him
and when they passed,
my family just kind
of took him in.
He's basically my brother.
I'm sorry, I didn't know that.
He pretends to be all
put together,
but really, he's kind of a mush.
What was that?
Betsey...
Betsey, move!
- I can explain.
- Move!
No!
Hey!
That's why you're always
in Jared's room.
Who is that boy?
Is that your boyfriend?
No... kind of.
His name is Ryan.
I know my mom would
never let me date him,
so we just hang out
in the yard and talk
and that's all, I swear.
No, that's not acceptable.
You can't hide this!
Oh yes I can.
And I was doing a good job of it
until you showed up.
Would you like me
to call my mom in here
and tell her your little secret?
Mom!
Chill!
You know I wouldn't
actually tell her.
We need you to help
save the business
and make sure my parents
don't lose the house
and blah...
Have you ever tried
just asking her for permission?
Oh no I'm telling you,
she wouldn't go for it.
She's really strict.
Tell him to come back tomorrow
at a reasonable hour.
I'll help you talk to your mom.
Fine.
Also tell him to stop
throwing rocks, it's very rude.
Okay.
Good morning dear!
Tenley, this is Larissa.
Larissa, this is Tenley,
Jared's wife.
Hi.
Excuse me, did you
just say wife?
Tenley...
Jared never mentioned you.
How long have you two
known each other?
About a year or so.
A year?
Larissa, I made some brownies.
You have to take some with you.
Okay.
Hey mom,
this is my friend, Ryan.
Hi Mrs. Carr,
so nice to meet you.
I was hoping I could take Betsey
to homecoming,
if that would be okay with you?
Great!
Ryan, is that yours?
Sure is, it's my Franken-bike.
Betsey, kitchen. Now.
So you're the secret wife, eh?
Careful, secret boyfriend.
Apparently everyone
is just full of secrets.
Mom, it's just a dance!
It's not like I'm joining
a cult or something.
You never let me do anything!
I'm not a kid anymore.
Maybe I should go over there.
What's going on?
Betsey has a boyfriend.
Yikes.
Who showed up on
that death mobile!
OMG, will one of you guys
talk some sense into this lady?
Hey, that is Mom to you.
What if...
What if Betsey can go
to the dance
on the condition that she
not ride the franken-bike.
Come on Lynn,
you let Jared take Larissa
to the same dance, same age.
I'll drive them.
That's nice of you.
It's nothing.
Lynn, all high schoolers
go to dances.
You should give this a chance.
Exactly!
It's not the middle ages,
or whatever.
You can't just lock me
in a tower.
Fine!
But no motorcycle.
And I don't want to hear,
"Mom can I get my nose pierced?"
ever again, you hear me?
I'll just do it
when I go to college!
Thanks you guys!
These look so good.
Yeah, we had them last night.
So, he's been with you
a full year?
I'm sorry.
You have nothing
to apologize for.
You seem great.
Thank you, so do you.
Bye.
You don't need
to worry about her.
You have got to stop doing that.
I don't even know how you enter
without making any noise.
You're like a Prius!
She and Jared are just friends.
They dated in high school,
but since then
they've just been homies.
So you don't need to worry.
I got a call back!
Nice, not bad
for a theater nerd.
I should do a dress rehearsal
tonight for everyone!
Tenley, will you come?
I don't know if I can.
Please! I need this part.
And I really want your feedback.
It's a school play,
not the Oscars.
Actually, I would love to come.
Really?
We're late.
Could we stop at my place first?
Sure.
That's my shirt too.
The female rhino rebuffs
the attention of the male.
But the male remains persistent
in his quest for...
You're home.
I was about to file a missing
persons report about you.
What are you wearing?
Hi...
This is Everett, Jared's friend.
Hi, I'm Cami.
Hey.
I have to change.
How is it you went from being
a completely dateless recluse
to married and dragging
some model to our place
in the span of like two days?
He's not a model,
he's Jared's best friend
and quasi brother, I guess.
So why is he here?
Because his business with Jared
is a sinking ship
that apparently only I can save.
Otherwise Ronnie and Lynn
are going to lose their house.
Jared's sister Betsey knows
everything,
But she's insisting
that I keep it a secret.
And I met Larissa,
Jared's high school sweetheart,
which was the cherry on top
of a disaster sundae.
There are too many characters,
I cannot follow this.
I don't even know
how to tell them.
Every time I try,
I get interrupted by a doctor
or a teenager.
Wait, what teenager?
There are two, Faye and Betsey.
Tenley, get a grip
and just tell them.
Cami, they'll hate me.
Why are you doing all this?
For a guy that literally
didn't tell anyone in his life
that you exist!
You talked my ear off
about Jared for a year.
Don't you think it's weird
that no one in his life
knows about you?
Did you ever consider
that maybe this whole thing
is one-sided?
1-800-OUCH.
1-800-HARSH-BUT-TRUE.
It's about more than just Jared.
Everett can't pull off
the presentation alone.
Cami...
He needs my help.
I don't want to hurt them.
Ten, you're already
hurting them.
Little Tenley.
You ready?
- Yeah.
- Let's go.
Don't forget your lunch.
Thank you.
No, that is not the right
composting method.
Let me see.
It is the right
composting method.
Jared did it himself.
No it isn't,
give me the thing.
Wrong!
Alright, I think we need
to eat some lunch.
We're both a little hungry.
I'm not hungry.
Okay, maybe
I am a little hungry.
I've got a sandwich.
That's quite the spread.
Yeah, I grew most of it
in my garden.
You're a green thumb?
I try to buy local,
I use my own produce.
It's actually pretty affordable.
Do you want some?
You can get all of this locally?
Actually very affordable.
That's good.
Affordable, Everett!
How affordable?
Like $3.50...
$3.50, that's it?
Yes!
Eliminate all the companies
you pay to import.
Who needs French wine
and Italian cheese
when you have all
these great local vendors here
that won't charge tariffs
and delivery fees?
All local, all the time,
sustainable and affordable!
Boom!
Now that is not affordable.
Sorry!
But tell me more.
I just don't know how you
can afford to be that clumsy.
Okay, you know.
What is up with you
and smashing electronics?
My frustrating,
yet often adorable
lack of spacial awareness?
Okay, so if go with your plan
then we have to swap out
the supply chain.
Which will mean we need
to have vendors.
I have an idea.
Can you meet me in an hour?
- Sure, where?
- I'll text you the address.
Hey!
Hey.
Welcome to my garden!
I thought you could try
some stuff for yourself.
Now, a lot of these
vendors operate here,
but also have farms
outside of the city.
Hold on here.
You run this whole place?
Okay, we have clover,
manukkah and lavender honey.
The lavender one is my favorite.
I'm really sorry.
So it's not just techy stuff
you like to break?
Okay, let's see.
We also have this beautiful
selection of cheeses.
All of these dips, fantastic.
And the fruit,
all organic of course.
And this is all from here?
This whole time we were so
focused on gourmet products,
that we overlooked what
was right in front of us.
Yeah, I love it here.
It's pretty fantastic.
So you won the national
science competition?
Yes, that's for my research
on soil sustainability.
I'm actually still working
on that old school project.
It's good.
Shows commitment.
Did you always know you wanted
to run your own business?
Honestly, I didn't know
what I wanted.
Jared was the idea guy
and I was just trying to repay
their family for everything.
This is the first day
I've ever looked at it
as more than just
a numbers game.
There's actually one more thing
I'd like to show you.
No, wrong again.
What?
You're telling me
that's not a carrot?
That is a beet.
That is why the sign is there.
I thought it was in there...
Hello, look who it is again.
What are you doing here?
I garden.
My garden.
Now...
Why don't you just have a little
chat with Miss Dearly there?
You didn't tell him, did you?
Not technically, no.
Seriously?
What do you think
is gonna happen
if you keep going on
like this, Tenley?
Tenley!
Do you like him?
We are this close
to saving the company
and then that's it.
I'm going to see it through
and I'm done.
I haven't seen you
look at anyone like that
since we went to
that Renaissance Fair
in sixth grade and you got
all weird about that knight
who gave you a tulip.
It was a rose.
I had a thing
for jousting, okay?
Who hasn't?
And there is nothing
going on with Everett!
- Hey...
- Hi.
She's not much of a talker.
Surprising.
- Hey.
- Hey.
We should go.
That thing for Faye.
Oh yes!
- Audition.
- Audition!
Faye's audition, of course!
Nothing going on.
Hey, Miss Dearly.
No, that's mine.
Okay fine.
Fine, fine, fine...
Hey, there you are.
I was just pummeling
Ron at bocce.
What a bold faced lie!
I'm up by two points.
You should join us.
Fun, I've never played before.
That's alright,
Everett can teach you.
I see how it is.
They're setting me up
with the novice.
Okay!
Don't mind him, he's too
competitive for his own good.
You better not mess up
my winning streak, kid.
Winning streak?
I'm the only one in this house
with a winning streak.
Undefeated champion!
Please.
Okay, I'm just warming up.
Everett?
So you want to get
Ron's ball out.
Never.
Beginner's luck!
I don't know Ron,
maybe I'm just good at this.
Nice!
What about that?
Alright, you got this.
Wait, did I just win?
You're the champion.
- It's a good shot.
- Nice winning streak.
Ladies and gentlemen,
please take your seats.
Showtime.
The stage looks amazing.
Look at this.
I love that.
The applause sign, how cute.
Now see that noble
and most sovereign reason.
Like sweet bells jangled
out of tune and harsh,
that unmatch'd form and feature
of blown youth
blasted with ecstasy.
Oh woe is me, to have seen
what I have seen,
see what I see.
Lovely, just lovely.
Amazing!
I have no idea
what it was about.
It's about seeing
someone good and noble
turn into something ugly
and lose themself
to the point where
they're unrecognizable.
Come on, Dad.
Okay.
Faye, you were amazing.
Really? Thanks.
I'm sorry about that.
You okay?
Yeah, I just got
a little overwhelmed.
I get it.
There's a lot going on.
What are you doing?
Doodling.
It's really relaxing,
you should try it.
Okay.
- That was you.
- That was you!
That was all you that time!
I'll get it.
No no, I'll get it.
Wait please, let me get it.
Speech!
Alright, settle down everyone.
Settle down.
First of all,
I think that we owe
a round of great applause
to Faye for her
stunning performance
this evening.
And I've also got
some other news.
I talked Dr. McMahon.
Jared is doing amazingly well.
He's going to get his knee
surgery tonight.
We can see him tomorrow morning.
And... Tenley.
We started off the week
with some bad news.
And then we got
some wonderful news.
We can't wait to
welcome you to the family.
So to our growing,
wonderful, wild family!
Cheers!
Cheers.
Thank you again for
another wonderful meal.
Your family has been so kind.
It's your family too, Petal.
Oh no please, leave it.
No...
Lynn, I insist.
You are so sweet.
Jared is going
to be over the moon
to see you tomorrow.
I can't wait.
Tenley dear, I noticed you
don't wear a ring.
I don't...
I don't really wear
a lot of jewelry.
Well, there's an heirloom.
It's my grandmother's
engagement ring
and I would like you to have it.
I couldn't.
Nonsense, you should have it.
- I shouldn't have it.
- Just try it on!
- Lynn, I can't.
- Just try...
Okay.
It's perfection!
Oh Everett, come here.
Come look!
I just gave Tenley my
grandmother's engagement ring.
Look, it's just perfect.
Yeah, it's nice.
Goodnight, you two.
It's tight.
It's like really tight!
You should try sliding it...
I'm trying to slide it off.
Help! I can't get it off!
I've got an idea,
I'll be right back.
No!
The ring looks good on you.
It's not meant for me, clearly.
You can get it resized.
It's like everything I do
gets me further into a mess.
That's a bit dramatic.
Okay.
Let's see.
You want a count down?
Yes, please.
3-2-1.
It worked.
Thank you, thank you...
Thank you.
Do you want a ride home?
I can just walk.
Do you want some company?
Sure.
That's great news about Jared.
Yeah, it's terrific.
You first.
I just want to say thank you
for everything today.
Seriously, it's amazing.
It's a game changer.
It's nothing.
It's not nothing.
And I know that I've
been a bit protective.
Protective, really?
I had not noticed.
It's just that, you know,
they're my family
and Jared's my brother.
And you puff your chest out
when you see a threat coming.
Yeah, I get it.
Hey, I now know why that
Jared kept you a secret.
Why?
It's just that...
We're kind of
like a package deal
and don't get me wrong,
it's great,
but I just wish sometimes it
didn't have to be like that.
That our identities
are that intertwined.
That's probably why.
No, I envy that.
Don't.
I'm an only child.
My mom raised me by herself
and she worked all the time.
I always thought that siblings
seemed like so much fun.
Its kind of hard to
play tag by yourself.
I won almost every time.
I'll bet you did.
Yeah, they're fun sometimes.
When they're not stealing your
clothes and stuff like that.
Which is something you
picked up awfully quick.
To be fair, I thought I
was stealing Jared's clothes.
You are so lucky to have
such a big, warm family.
The noises, the laughter,
the chaos of it all.
Everett, I love it.
Everybody is all so
different, you know?
I never got to experience that.
My childhood was all one note.
My mom and I were so similar,
we might as well have
been the same person.
Nothing wrong with that.
No, I know.
It's just that...
I guess I never realized
how vibrant a family could be
until I met yours.
They're your family now, too.
Right.
What were you going
to say earlier?
What?
Before the whole childhood
back story.
It's nothing.
There's so much
going on right now,
I don't want to have
to worry about it.
Thanks for walking me home.
Yeah.
So tomorrow, right?
See you tomorrow.
Hi.
I...
I thought I should talk to you
before the rest of the family.
I wanted to apologize
for letting things
get so out of hand.
You have always been
such a great friend to me.
And I'm so sorry if I
mistook that friendship
for something more.
I built you up to be
this mythic figure.
You were always behind a screen.
It was easier that way,
you know?
Be honest.
Do you think they'll hate me
when they find out tomorrow?
Right.
By the way...
I think the company
is going to be okay.
Yeah Everett,
he did an amazing job.
He's actually...
He's wonderful.
Feelings!
That's bad,
that is so very, very bad.
Do you mind
if I stress eat this?
Oh dear.
Isn't that sweet?
Hi Tenley.
You came to see him last night?
Why isn't he awake yet?
Doc said he's still
on a lot of medication
after the surgery,
could be awhile yet.
Nothing to worry about, dear.
How's he doing?
A-okay.
That's great.
Then he'll be ready
for Wednesday.
I have to tell you something.
It is long overdue.
What is it, Petal?
I'm not Jared's...
Oh hey, I actually
need to talk to you
for a second,
if you could just...
Betsey, what are you doing?
You can't tell them yet!
I am tired of lying
and lying and lying.
Please! Just a little longer.
Until Wednesday.
What difference is a couple days
going to make?
The board moved
the presentation up.
It's in two days.
My family needs this company
to survive.
No! The presentation, it's done.
I did my part,
they can handle it from here.
But there's no way Jared's
going to be ready in time.
Look.
It has to be you, Tenley.
Everett keeps saying how solid
you guys are as a team.
He needs your help still.
We can't lose the house.
My parents have put so much
into this company.
There's too much riding on it
for you to give up now.
Okay, okay. Fine!
I will do the presentation,
but then that's it.
There's just
one more thing I need.
You have got to be kidding me!
Want to help me
pick out a dress?
Mom's going to make me
re-use her 80's poof dress.
I have a better idea.
So?
What did you want to tell us?
It's nothing.
Tenley, by the way,
the presentation is on...
Wednesday, yes.
Betsey told me.
If Jared can't do it,
do you think that you
could handle his part?
Of course.
Tenley, you're not
wearing the ring?
Yeah Lynn, we needed
vice-grips to get it off.
It doesn't fit.
Oh well, we can
just get it sized.
We should go to the office.
Bye.
Okay, I'll run through
the lower import costs.
Right, and I'll put out
the climate data...
And then we both finish
with the mission statement.
Cheers!
Okay, you know.
I'll save that.
Cheers to sustainability.
Oh no, the infamous happy dance.
You know it!
I was...
I will show you.
It looks better on you.
I'll show you.
I need to see it from the start.
Okay, it's going
to go like this.
One-two-three, four-five-six...
A bit of a turn...
And then like a pose moment.
One-two-three,
I'm not doing it.
I just wanted to see you
do it one more time.
I should go...
Cami is lending Betsey
some dress samples.
Okay, yeah.
I'll see you tomorrow.
Bye.
Hey.
There's so many.
It pays to have a roommate
who works in fashion.
Okay, you can't just
leave cool details
like that out for so long.
Honestly, that should've been
the first thing you told me.
Okay, okay.
One-two-three.
I feel like a pastry.
But you're such
an adorable pastry.
I look like a vampire!
Yeah, okay.
I don't know about this one.
I love it.
Me too.
Thank goodness, because we
were running out of options.
Tenley, thank you
for bringing these over.
Really, you saved us
a trip to the mall.
It's nothing.
No seriously, you haven't
seen my mom and I at the mall.
It's that bad.
We are the worst at the mall.
The last time we went,
she wanted to buy this...
What did you call it again?
A romper.
A romper, that's right.
It is the most ridiculous thing.
There's just no reason for your
shirt and pants to be attached.
You're not a toddler.
It was cute, Mom.
Maybe when you were three.
Regardless, your roommate
is like my fairy godmother.
I'll let her know you said that.
Larissa!
What a lovely surprise.
I just stopped
by to return this.
Hey, Larissa.
Long time no see.
I'm sorry, I should go.
I didn't mean to interrupt.
You're not interrupting,
you should join us.
Come in.
No, I should go.
What's up with her?
I don't know,
seasonal allergies maybe?
She seemed kinda sad.
Shoes.
I have shoe options to try.
Great!
Hi, you've reached Rita.
I'm on an excursion
in the Alaskan wilderness
and won't be by my phone for
another three to five months.
Whatever the glaciers
need from me.
Leave a message!
Hi mom, I...
I know you're on an eco mission
and trying to save
the planet right now, but...
I really need you.
If you could call me back,
that would be great.
I love you.
How come the sunshine
isn't coming
through your pores today?
You speak?
Only when it's
absolutely necessary.
I've been running this garden
for five years
and I've never heard
you say a word to anyone.
Let me guess...
You're crying
because of that boy
that was here the other day.
Or is it the boy you
were always tweeting at?
Both.
Mrs. Dearly, it's a mess.
Love is a lot like gardening.
You water the parts
you want to keep,
and you weed out
the ones you don't.
What if I'm the weed?
A violet is a weed.
And I adore violets.
Water the boy you like.
Come in!
- Hey.
- Hi.
I'm sorry I was so harsh
the other day.
No, that's okay.
You were right, I should
have told them from the start
and I wouldn't be
in this stupid mess.
You were just doing
what you thought was right.
The presentation to the board
is tomorrow and then that's it.
I'm just going to
put it all out there.
Let the chips fall as they may.
You know, maybe there's a chance
Everett will understand.
Yeah, I doubt that.
I'm strangely more worried
about what
Everett will think
of me than Jared.
Of course you are, you like him.
And I'm proud of you
for building a connection
with a real human man
in the real world.
Even if that relationship
is probably doomed.
1-800-RUDE!
1-800 be glad you
didn't get arrested!
You!
What? I'm just saying
the likelihood of him
being cool with dating
a girl who pretended
to be married to his
comatose best friend
slash sort of brother,
is pretty slim.
But not impossible!
Okay, that's fair.
I'm here if you need me.
You know that right?
Thank you.
Of course.
Are you serious?
So...
What are we doing?
Our senior year, right
before state championships,
Jared and I, we were
unbelievably nervous.
I was nervous,
Jared didn't play a lot.
He was on the bench.
Regardless, we were
too high to sleep,
so this is where we went.
You ready?
Here is where we're going?
- We're going here?
- Yeah.
This is it.
Just wait for me, please.
Okay, so this is
your old high school.
But what is with
the twinkle lights?
That was all that I could find.
- You don't like them?
- No, they're lovely.
But Everett, I have no idea
what we're doing here.
Remember I said we came here
before big matches?
And then after that,
it kind of turned
into anything big.
High pressure situations,
bad things happening,
good things happening.
We just come here
and we play it out.
Okay.
We have something big happening
and I thought you should
be a part of the tradition.
- Heads or tails?
- Tails.
Kick or side?
Yeah, I don't know what either
of those words mean.
You want to kick,
cause there's just one side.
Okay.
And you're up!
Oh my god, right away.
Okay, I'm going.
And Tenley Sweeney tries
to make a back door open.
She can...
No, you're off side.
Now the goal is open.
Oh my god, she scored.
And Tenley Sweeney
gets the game winner!
Hey, I wanted to
apologize to you.
Apologize for what?
Misjudging you.
I think that you're amazing.
Everett, I have to
tell you something.
These past few days,
I feel like a tiny seed
that has been swept up
and carried by a
hundred different winds.
And you think
you're doing a good thing,
but that good thing turns out
to be super, super bad.
But you never meant to be bad.
And the truth is that
sometimes people
are just accidentally bad,
but they never meant to be bad.
They meant to be good.
Does that make any sense?
No, you're not really making
a lot of sense right now.
I don't know how we got
into this mess,
but I feel so compelled to
tell you the truth right now.
I am not...
Betsey?
What do you mean
you're not Betsey?
I mean Betsey, our Betsey,
is about to get
on a franken-bike.
Betsey! Both of you off
that bike, now!
How could you be
so irresponsible?
Sneaking off on a motorcycle?
It's called a franken-bike.
That doesn't matter.
Your mom made herself
very clear.
How could you break
her trust like that?
I still don't get
what the big deal is.
The big deal is you lied,
Betsey.
Pot meet kettle,
right Tenley?
Well, we should go.
Both of you!
Get off the bike!
That is what you
sounded like, I swear.
- Did I say that?
- Yeah.
That's why we do stuff
like that.
It's a nice easy going night,
there's no yelling.
It did not go as expected.
Nothing ever does.
Good night, Everett.
Yeah, good night.
Thank goodness you're back.
Please help me with this
mysterious sobbing woman.
Are you okay?
I can't take it anymore,
I have to tell you.
Tell me what?
I am a horrible, awful,
wretched person.
I'm a mistress!
I can't believe that
I'm the other woman,
but I didn't know about you!
I swear I didn't know about you.
I know you don't know me,
but I feel like we
could be friends?
Is there any way
you could forgive me?
You did nothing wrong, Larissa.
I'm not Jared's wife.
What do you mean?
Yeah, we're not married.
I'm just a friend from
a sustainability forum.
I called and he
was in the hospital
and then next thing
I was signing all these forms.
There was a mix-up,
the doctor thought I
was his wife, but I'm not.
Really, I've barely
even met him in real life.
So, he wasn't cheating
on you with me?
No.
And he was always
just my boyfriend?
Yes.
This is so absurd!
Absolutely ridiculous.
I know.
Larissa, I'm so sorry.
Would you like some tea?
Yeah, I would love some tea.
Oh my gosh.
You lied to both of them.
I just thought you
were better than that.
What's going on?
You lied about having a wife.
Then apparently, you have
a girlfriend on top of that?
What's wrong with you?
What are you talking about?
I don't have a wife.
And I've never
cheated on anyone.
Well then who is she?
How am I supposed to know?
I've never met this person
before in my life.
Tenley?
This was never meant to happen.
We were just supposed
to go for coffee...
Wait, Tenley?
Tenley, the chat room girl?
So you do know her?
No! Well, kind of.
She's a pen pal,
a sustainability contact.
Someone I'd run business
ideas by, nothing more.
I've been dating Larissa
for the past two months.
Now hold on!
So this whole time Tenley,
you've been lying to us!
From the bottom of my heart,
I am sorry.
Really I tried to tell you...
I pressured her to stay
and help the business.
It's my fault too!
You knew?
You and dad were so worried
about losing the house
and the business going under.
Everett...
Let me explain.
Everett, wait!
I knew it.
You know, the second
they mentioned the wife thing
I knew that that was a lie.
Please just let me explain...
Explain what?
How you barged into my family?
How you manipulated us
into thinking
that you're somebody
that you're not?
I said I don't deal with liars.
No, I know.
I lied and I am so sorry.
I swear, I was
just trying to help.
Right.
I loved being a part
of your family.
Do you get that?
It felt so nice.
And then you, Everett.
I fell for you, okay?
I think that you should stay
away from me and my family.
I know you don't want to hear
her name right now, but...
Tenley did a great job
on all this.
Yeah, let's just
get this over with.
Using this new model,
we can launch ourselves
into the territory
where we not only can say no
to acquisitions,
we can compete in a real way
with Panama.
And since all the goods
are local,
we'll also do a service
to the all artisans
in our very own community.
So if you'll just turn to...
Courtesy of Tenley.
Feel free to sample.
Wanna watch Planet Earth
and eat pizza?
Yes.
Listen, I know
you're really bummed
about this whole thing,
but you aren't alone.
You have me.
I love you.
I love you too.
You really need a shower
though, babe.
What?
Oh wait, Mrs. Dearly!
She talked to me.
Shut up! She talks?
She spoke, she said words.
Mom!
Hi! I miss you.
You would not believe
the last few days I've had.
Yeah, I'll tell you everything.
I guess we saved the company.
Yeah.
Look man.
I'm sorry for accusing you
of cheating.
It's been a weird week.
I got married and unmarried
and I wasn't even awake
to know about it.
You know, even though Tenley
did a lot of things wrong...
She did a lot right.
I mean, she did save my life.
And she saved this place.
And she got you
to finally take part
in my side of the business.
I just don't know how somebody
does something like that?
Betsey told me you guys
went to the soccer field.
So?
That is sacred ground.
I thought that she was family,
that's all.
You don't think I noticed?
Noticed what?
Remember that year we went up
against each other
in the State Quiz Bowl?
The final question was,
"Name the only switch hitter
with 536 home runs."
And I know you knew the answer
because
we just finished watching
Mickey Mantle's biography.
But you looked at me and you
took your finger off the buzzer.
I saw it, and that was it.
I buzzed, you didn't.
I won state and you didn't.
You always just let me win.
No I haven't.
It's practically
a reflex with you.
So much so that you
don't even realize
that we're not even
competing anymore.
Hey, which one of you guys is
going to give me a ride home?
I'll take you home.
Yeah, I'm going to hang here.
Everett...
Maybe you should let
yourself win this one.
Betsey, why didn't you
tell me about Tenley?
Why does it even matter?
I mean Jared is better.
He and Larissa are together.
The company is fine.
That is not the point.
She's a nice person.
She tried to tell us
the truth over and over
and most of the time
I was the one
begging her not to.
So, if you're going
to be mad at anyone,
it should be me.
I can't be mad at you, though.
Well, then I guess that's that.
By the way, I never told you...
What else haven't you told me?
You have a great dad yell.
Well, back to our usual spot.
Cheers to your first marriage!
And to putting myself out there!
You were right, Cami.
I needed it.
So does that mean
I can finally set up
an online dating profile
for you?
Yeah, let's not get ahead
of ourselves.
I'm proud of you.
You're my family.
You're my family too.
I don't see any mint
like we talked about.
And yes, we will grow you mint...
Cocktails.
I know, I know.
But we need more green
in your garden and less...
Brown!
Less brown! Yes, that's
what we're working on first.
We're going to
bring it all to life
and then we'll do mint.
We have to do it in stages.
Green first.
I don't know if you're ready
for mint yet.
I... sure.
That's what I'm saying.
I try.
You try so hard.
I always forget to water them.
You dropped this.
Nice catch.
Did the board sell?
Nope.
That makes me so happy.
You saved the company.
And you saved my
best friend's life.
You made me realize that
I need to stop letting
everybody else win
and go after what I want.
And what is that?
You.
