[festive music playing]

[narrator]
In Park City,
Emma is on a date with Austin.

He would have to have a sense of humor
and be a good conversationalist.

Okay.

That way,
we can keep the conversation going.

-[chuckles] That's pretty important.
-Yeah, it is pretty important.

Same.

[Emma] Yeah.

What about you?

As long as they're a decent person
and get along with me just fine.

And I can, like, get along with everyone…
practically anyone.

-Yeah.
-[Austin] Oh yeah.

Another one is as long as they're okay
with, like, say, snakes or spiders,

then that's fine.

'Cause I may or may not eventually
wanna have one as a pet in their future.

Yeah.

[Austin] My dad is,
like, afraid of snakes.

I would have one as a pet
if that wasn't the reason.

That's, like, the legitimate only reason
'cause they're very easy to care for,

especially the more arid kinds.

I find caring for animals very difficult.

I care for many animals.

-Yeah.
-I find fish very calming.

I don't know
if you've gone to the aquarium

and look at the fish swimming around…

Yeah, it is calming.

Something about watching a fish
swimming around in a circle all day

is very… calming.

I did, a while ago, a poll on my Instagram

of, like, which is better,
the zoo or the aquarium?

And the aquarium won by, like, %.
It was really surprising.

Just, like, wow.

[uneasy music playing]

-[server] Wild game chili for yourself?
-[Emma] Ooh, cool!

Oh, wow, thanks.

-[server] You enjoy.
-Thanks, I will.

-Salmon really good?
-[Austin] Oh yeah.

[Emma] Glad to hear it.

[Austin] I'm cautious while eating fish

'cause this one time,
I got a bone lodged in my throat.

Oh my gosh.

[Austin] I don't wanna relive that day.
'Cause you never know.

That's true.

You never know.
That's why it's good to be prepared.

[suspenseful music playing]

It is getting late.
Do you think we should probably…

Should we head off?

-Yeah.
-[Emma] Yeah.

Let me, uh…

[strained grunt]

It was…

-This was nice.
-It was really fun.

Indeed. It was definitely nice
to meet someone new.

Yeah. Yeah, it was nice.
It… it's a good feeling, isn't it?

-Yeah, it definitely is. I would say that.
-Yeah. Mm-hmm.

Um…

Well, I guess,

um…

Eh…

I guess, I mean, do you wanna do
something like this again sometime?

[hopeful music playing]

Um…

[music fades]

[Logan] Okay. Just… just calm down.

Jennifer Cook!

Jennifer Cook. Jennifer is here for me.
She's gonna come to us. She…

[clears throat] Calm. Calm. Calm.

-[inhales deeply] Deep breath.
-[Cian] What's happening, Logan?

Jennifer Cook's about to arrive.

I can't help it. She's about to arrive!
She's about to arrive.

I cannot wait.
God, I cannot wait to meet her.

But I am gonna just…

I'm just gonna greet her
like a normal person does.

I'm gonna be chill. I'm chill, yo.

[narrator]
Autism expert Jennifer Cook
is visiting Logan

to help him prepare
for his first-ever date.

Yeah, just… just to let you know,
I'm not gonna sniff her or anything.

-[dogs barking]
-[Logan] Oh gosh.

[barking]

[Logan shushing] You guys.

-Oh my gosh, you're Jennifer Cook.
-Hi! Are you Logan?

-Yeah. I mean, yes.
-It's great to meet you. Hi, friends!

Sorry, you look so nice. Come on in.

[Jennifer] Thank you so much.
I appreciate it. Hi, guys.

[Logan] Sorry.

-Jennifer, why don't you take a seat?
-[Jennifer] Thanks.

-Okay, so…
-Ow.

So I heard
you're getting ready to go on a date.

Oh, yes, I am, Jennifer.
I mean, yes, I am, Jennifer.

Okay. Have you ever been on a date before?

-[Logan] No, I haven't.
-Okay.

But I need… I need help.

I need to

work on what kind of conversations
to talk about a girl.

[Jennifer] Mm-hmm.

Coming up with something to talk about,
that stresses a lot of people out.

[Logan] Mm-hmm.

[Jennifer] You're thinking,

"I have to be the one
that's talking the whole time

or she's gonna get bored."

"And how do I even know
if she's bored?" Right?

-Yeah.
-So let's practice.

All right, so let's pretend
we've sat down. We've come in.

Giving somebody a compliment
is a good way to start.

What's a compliment
you could give right away?

I like your dress.

Very, very nice.
You could say, "I like your outfit."

-I like your outfit.
-Or, "Your hair looks nice."

Something like that. Compliments.

And then we're gonna ask questions now.

What do they like to do?

And let's say she said, "Collect dolls."

What could you say about that?

-I'm gonna say, "That's nice."
-[Jennifer] A very good thing to say.

So let's ask her another question.
We could say, "Tell me more about that."

-Tell me more about that.
-Yes!

-Then she's gonna keep talking.
-Tell me more.

Yes! And then we also wanna make sure
that we are each giving as much.

We're each putting as much attention
into the other person.

It's sort of like a scale.

Wait, Jennifer, I know this one.

[hesitating] If talk about
the same thing, my date will get bored,

and I have to talk about what she likes.

You're gonna talk about what she likes
and a little bit about what you like.

Because guess what?
Again, we don't wanna be… topsy-turvy.

I've been told that conversation
a lot of times!

-It's better when you said it.
-[Jennifer] Oh, well, it's true.

Because we don't wanna have just her,
because then you're out of whack.

We wanna have both of you.

-Oh, both of us? Okay.
-[Jennifer] Both of you get to talk.

Now, here's the thing.

When we're learning stuff,
anything, really, you know what happens?

-What?
-[Jennifer] We might feel nervous.

What if you say the wrong words
and forget what to say?

Do you think it's, like, a terrible thing?

-Yes.
-[Jennifer] No.

No, no, no.

We're gonna disagree on this.
You know why?

-[Logan] Why?
-Because everybody makes mistakes.

Everybody makes mistakes.

And that's okay. That's okay.

You just say,
"I'm sorry. Let me start over."

Right? Now, do you think
that you're a shy person?

Um… I'm a shy person.

-[Jennifer] Are you?
-Yes, I am.

Okay. So how does that feel inside?

It makes me nervous, but I get through it.

When you feel shy,

what are you worried about
that people might be thinking or doing?

Might think I'm spacing out and I'm weird.

Mm-hmm. Right, okay.
What do you do when you get shy, Logan?

-I cover my face.
-[Jennifer] Mm-hmm.

And I… I cover my face,

and I… I… I get very scared.

-Okay.
-But, no, Jennifer, I won't do that.

That's great, because you know why?
If you're hiding away,

then I don't get to discover
the really cool person that you are.

And that would be a really sad thing.

You're worth being somebody's date.

You're worth
being somebody's friend, right?

That's a special thing to be, right?

And there's only one Logan
in this entire world

who's just like you, right?

I wonder who that Logan is.

I'm thinking it's you, man.

Oh yeah, that's right.
I thought there was somebody else.

-You're it. You're the only Logan. Yeah?
-You're the best dating coach ever.

-You want a hug?
-[Logan] Yes, I so do want a hug.

I want a hug too.
Ooh, it was so good to meet you.

-It was so good to meet you too.
-You're gonna absolutely rock this.

-You're gonna be fantastic.
-Thanks, Jennifer.

-All right, show me where to go, man.
-[Logan] Uh, okay.

Okay. Thank you, sweetheart. Okay, bye.

-Bye.
-[Jennifer] All right.

First date ever
is a huge step for anybody.

I think it's going to be
maybe a little rocky.

As long as he can remember, though,

that it's all right to say
in real time, "I'm nervous,"

as long as he doesn't feel
that he has to excuse himself

for being, you know, human,
then I think he's gonna be okay.

[intriguing music playing]

And did you know most people in Australia
stick to the coastal cities

because the outback is a barren wasteland?

It's home to a lot of dangerous things.

Aside from the dingoes and the crocodiles,

watch out for snakes, spiders,
scorpions, and centipedes, big ones.

[uneasy music sting]

But survive all that
and you'll be racing the Fury Road.

Now, Coco, there's this instrument
called a didgeridoo.

It actually has
a very nice sound to it as well.

It sounds like… [imitating didgeridoo]

It sounds something like that.

Oh, there are also koalas there.

Would you care for a mint
when you're done?

[laughs] What are you two talking about?

[Connor] We're talking about Australia.

Have you seen those videos
where kangaroos are drowning dogs?

[Connor] Good grief.

And then people get in,
like, fist fights with them.

Uh, yeah, bad idea.

-Kangaroos are actually excellent boxers.
-Yeah.

Even kicking below the belt
isn't a rule to them.

[Lise chuckles]

All right, Coco, stay away from kangaroos.

All right, we're gonna have a proper
English tea party. What do we need?

[Connor] Finger sandwiches,

scones,

and, of course, tea.

Excellent.

So, today, what's your main objective
with Georgie?

What do you wanna do on the date?

Well, show her a good time and--

Fun, good, okay. And you talked about,
with us, about the confusion.

That's a big part of your date today,
trying to figure that out, right?

Yeah, exactly. How she feels about me.

Friendship versus romance.

-Yes.
-Right?

Yeah, that looks great. Okay.

-You should really roll up your sleeves.
-Oh, sorry.

-A real chef rolls up their sleeves.
-[Lise] I got you.

Your arms close to the body,
sleeves rolled up.

Okay, sorry.
But I think understanding her position

on what a serious relationship
looks like to her

versus what a serious relationship
looks like to you.

-It's kind of important information.
-Yeah.

Don't you think?

-Yeah.
-Okay.

-You're gonna show her your British side?
-[Connor] Yes, I am.

-Now, this teapot…
-[Lise] Yep.

…is depicted with Henry VIII
and his six wives.

[Lise] Okay.

What about King Charles?
Should you bring him?

-[Connor chuckles] Probably not.
-Charles will be happier here with me.

-[Connor] Yes, very good.
-Forget Camilla.

No disrespect to the Queen, of course.

-[Lise] All right, do you feel good?
-I feel great.

-You ready for today?
-Perfectly--

First objective, fun.

-First objective, fun. Honey and hatchet.
-[whimsical music playing]

Honey and sh*t sandwich.

[scoffs] Why are you afraid of hatchets?

-I don't know, but--
-That's stupid.

-Okay, I'll say honey and hatchet.
-Look.

-Look, see? Are you afraid of a knife?
-Oh man.

Yes, actually.

Knife, k*ll.

Go on.

Go ahead. Go right ahead.
Nobody… Go ahead, don't be shy.

-You're a smart-a*s. You're a smart-a*s.
-See? It's not k*lling. Why?

Because it's an inanimate object.
Mom, let this be a lesson to you.

Blades are neither good nor evil.

They're merely extensions
and reflections of those who hold them.

Okay, fine.

Well, you're a smart-a*s, and I love you,
but I want you to have fun today. Okay?

Steady.

Easy does it.

-Steady.
-[Lise] Okay.

-[Connor] Feels good.
-[Lise] Okay.

-All right, I love you.
-Love you too, Mom.

-[Lise] Knock it out of the park, broski.
-I will.

[breathes deeply]

-[Cian] How do you think it'll go?
-[Lise] He needs the clarity.

So I… I think he'll…
I think he'll do a great job.

And I think hopefully he'll keep it,

you know, light and not too intense.

He can be intense sometimes.

Shocker.

[hopeful music playing]

[Austin] Well, this was definitely nice.

-[Emma] It was really fun.
-[Austin] Indeed.

I mean, do you wanna do
something like this again sometime?

Um…

I feel like… [sighs]

I'm thinking
maybe we should just be friends.

-All right, that's totally fine.
-Yeah.

[Austin] Um…

Well then, I guess…
I guess I'll see you around.

[Emma] Yeah.

-For sure.
-See ya, Austin.

See ya.

[wistful music playing]

[Cian] How are you feeling, Austin?

Yeah, I'm feeling fine.

I mean, I've been friend-zoned,

but, like, that's not the first time
this has happened.

[chuckling] I've been friend-zoned
many times.

Nothing too new.

[music fades]

[Cian] When it comes to dating,
what are you most nervous about?

Just, um, my shy habits,

but I try to get through it.

[Cian] When do you get shy?

When I'm in front of people
I've never seen before.

-But you guys, I'm used to you already.
-[Cian] Thank you. That's good. I'm glad.

What do you do when you get shy?

I cover my face. But you know what, Cian?

I'm gonna try my very best
before I do this

to just, like, not cover my face.

[Cian] How do you feel about
going on a blind date?

I'm just trying to wonder.

Do you put a blindfold
and I… will I be blind?

[Cian] No, it just means…

They call it a blind date
if you never met the person before.

Oh yeah, yeah.

[Cian] You can use blindfolds if you want.

Oh, I don't want… [chuckles]

I'm… I'm good. I just… I don't need one.

[tense music playing]

[Logan] Morning.

-[Cian] First date ever.
-Yes.

-[Cian] How are you feeling?
-Good. Just a little nervous.

I've never really done this before.

I'm ready to go.
I just need to get my shoes on.

'Cause we all know we're not allowed
to wear shoes like Nikes or Adidas

or to be those people who…

who, you know, they think they're cool
and they got their stuff and…

[chuckles nervously]

[Cian] Which people?

I have no idea
what I'm talking about, Cian.

I'm just a little nervous,
but it's okay. I can do this.

[grunts softly]

Okay.

[intriguing music playing]

Like a true mastermind was behind it.

[straining]

Okay.

Got it.

Okay. All right.

Oh my gosh, this stuff stings.

This stuff stings, but I… can do this.

I'm a man.

Oh my gosh.

Okay.

[Jocelyn] Ooh! Ooh-ooh.

-Feast your eyes.
-Whoa.

-Okay, strut.
-Oh my goodness.

-Hey, handsome.
-Hi.

-Wow, Logan.
-[Logan] Mm-hmm.

-You look dapper. I love it. Yeah.
-I look really nice, Mom.

Okay, and then make sure you're always…
You might wanna tuck in this white shirt.

[Jocelyn] Let's tuck that in.
It's hanging out at different times.

-Good thing you live with women.
-[Jocelyn] Mm-hmm.

[Logan] Yep.

-But, Neith, I do wish sometimes you…
-What?

-Bossy…
-Cooked me… No!

No. I was gonna say
cook breakfast for me more often

'cause the meals you make are great.
We need to make cheesecake together.

That's what we need to do. We need to make
a cheesecake and get graham crackers.

Anyways, back to the date.
I'm gonna look so cool.

-I'm gonna have nothing to worry about.
-[Neith] That's what I like to hear.

Have you thought about
when your date ends,

how are you gonna say goodbye to her?

I mean, I wanna kiss a girl,
but I'm not ready yet.

Don't know
if kissing's for the first date.

-[Jocelyn] Yeah.
-[Neith] Yeah.

-Good.
-[both laughing]

What if she goes in for a kiss?

-I guess I'll just take it.
-[both laughing]

[jaunty music playing]

-Okay.
-Now give me a hug.

[Neith] Okay.

Okay, have a good time.

-All right, I will. I will.
-[Neith] You got it, dude.

-Have fun.
-[Logan] All right.

[Jocelyn] Look at you.
I like that walk. You're so confident.

-[Logan] Yes, I am, Mom.
-[chuckles]

[music fades]

[lively orchestral music playing]

I did it.

You know, I just have to say,
it is really nice out here.

Hopefully, I can try to make
the dinner fun.

I'm just a little shy and nervous,
that's all.

But you know what, Sean?
I have faith that I'm… that I can do this.

-[Cian] It's Cian.
-Cian, sorry.

-[Cian] Are you ready?
-Yes, I'm ready.

Oh dear.

[footsteps approaching]

[girl] Hello!

Hi.

-Where do I look?
-I don't know.

Should we put our arms around each other
or keep our hands like this?

-[Cian] Whatever you wanna do.
-Oh.

[chuckles] It'd be a bit awkward
if we put arms around each other.

You think so? Do you wanna just try it
and see how it feels or not?

This… It's very…
That's a bit too much, don't you think?

Oh, I suppose it is, yes. Mm-hmm.

[Cian] Can you guys tell me,

like, what your first impressions were
of each other?

-[James hesitates, chuckles]
-Oh…

Yes, no, I knew…
I could definitely tell right away

that Shelley and I had much in common.

I definitely… I definitely knew

that she was a very kind
and… and wonderful person

from the very beginning.

Yes. No, I definitely knew.

You definitely are
very intelligent also, Shelley.

Shelley has an amazing sense of direction.

Even though I do have a GPS device,
I have a navigation device,

but Shelley still helps me…
Shelley helps me out on the road. Shelley…

-[Shelley giggling]
-Oh my God. Oh…

I made Shelley laugh.

Oh, I can't… Oh my God.

I cannot say enough how much I love
hearing your laughter, Shelley.

Thank you very much.

-Oh snap! I'm sorry. I'm about to cry.
-No…

-I'm sorry.
-[chuckles]

Sorry about that.

-Are you okay, James?
-Oh, yes. Well, no.

-I'm crying tears of happiness, obviously.
-[giggles]

Yes.

-[uplifting music playing]
-[doorbell rings]

[James] Ah.
It seems that Shelley has arrived. Yes.

-Hello. Would you let me take your bag?
-Yes. Hey.

-[June] Hello!
-[James] How are you doing today?

-I'm doing very good.
-Great. I'm so glad.

-[June] Come in. Good to see you.
-[Shelley] Hello. Nice to see you.

-[James] Ooh, please sit down.
-[Shelley] Thank you very much.

So how… how…
how are you doing today, Shelley?

-I'm doing really well, yes.
-Good. Great. So glad to hear it.

As long as you're okay…
I shouldn't put my arm like that, sorry.

When I pose in photographs,
in the rare times,

if I put my hands like this,
I keep my fists closed like…

-Why?
-[James] I got the idea from Keanu Reeves.

So people know he's not touching
anybody in photographs.

-So pretty good, right?
-[June] Oh.

[James] I put my hands like this
so people… Yeah, I think it's a very…

I think it's nice and respectful,
don't you think so, Shelley?

Yes, I think so, yes.

[James] Wait, are you okay?

-You're not feeling nervous or upset?
-No, I'm okay.

Good. Because as you see,
I'm trying to observe your body language,

trying to look at your face,
and you seem okay to me,

from what I can tell. You're okay
for drinks and water and snacks right now?

-Maybe I will try one of these lemon ones.
-They're good.

-[Shelley] Thank you very much.
-You're welcome. I, um…

-I heard he wrote you a poem.
-[James] Yes. And--

-[June] I'd love to hear it.
-[James hesitates, sighs]

Would… I was just wondering, would…

Only if it's okay with you, um, are you…

Would… would you want…
Would… would you allow them to… to…

-Do you want us to cover our ears?
-[James] No.

It's nothing inappropriate.
Would you allow them to…

Good, you're laughing.
I love hearing you laugh, Shelley.

…film me reading that poem to you,
or do you want to keep it between us?

-No, it's okay.
-Okay, good.

Please wait one moment. I'll be back.

I have a copy of it printed out,
don't worry.

Please wait a moment. I'll be back.

-[June] Very nice.
-Mm-hmm.

[drawers opening, papers shuffling]

[James] I know it's in here somewhere.

Come on. I know it's in here.
I know I have a copy.

Good! Good, good, good.
Here's my copy, thank God. Phew.

-So how's the weather out? Is it--
-Not hot, but it seems nice to me.

-[James] I don't have it memorized.
-It's not supposed to rain.

I'm going to need some water,
of course, so don't worry.

We're not gonna worry, James.

[Shelley chuckles]

[James] Uh…

[clearing throat]

I'm so sorry. Excuse me. Mm.

I was…

When the butter moon is in the sky

I gaze at it and wonder why

How does it have its wondrous hue?

And why does it remind me of you?

Its pale light is like your skin

It makes me feel so warm within

The midnight sky is deep and blue

Just like your eyes, so soft and true

When the butter moon says goodbye

I feel so sad that I could cry

I'll miss its beam, so soft and sweet

But I know that we again shall meet

Here we'll stay
Please don't leave so soon

My beloved butter moon

-[June] Aw!
-[James] Yes, thank you, thank you.

You… Shelley, you never get tired of me
saying how much I love you

and how much I appreciate
everything about you, right?

Of course not.
Why would I get tired of that?

-Oh, no, you shouldn't. No.
-[Shelley] And I appreciate you.

No, you shouldn't. Yes, yes, so…

I asked James what's gonna happen
with your first disagreement.

Our love is stronger… our love is
strong enough that we even do it, right?

Yeah, because, you know, people
my parents' age and my grandparents' age

would always make jokes like,
"Take my wife, please,"

or, "Are you married or happy?"
They'd make jokes like that,

but I can't stand that
negative, cynical viewpoint of marriage.

Does Shelley get a chance to talk
when you have a conversation with her?

Wait. Shelley, I do let you speak, right?

You can tell my parents
that I let you speak, right?

-Yes, of course. He lets me speak.
-I'm so sorry, Shelley.

You don't think
that I'm too self-centered, do you?

-No.
-Okay, phew, 'cause I'm working on it.

-I, I, I'm doing my best.
-You can be honest.

Another way you're inspiring me
to grow as a person, you're helping me…

you're helping me to be more keenly aware
of the feelings of other people

and you're helping me
to be less self-centered.

-Yes, I think that's a good thing.
-Thank you.

But obviously you help me too.

-[James] Good. Good, good.
-[June giggles]

But you're okay? You're not feeling
nervous or uncomfortable?

-[Shelley] No, I'm fine.
-Good, yeah.

I can tell from your posture,
from your face, that you're comfortable.

-[Shelley] Mm-hmm.
-Good.

What time do you guys have to leave?

Oh, we should…

We want to arrive, like,
say, an hour before the karaoke starts

so we can get dinner, you know?

That sounds good. Shall we get going now?

Okay. Yeah, well, yes,
we probably should be getting going, then.

-I'll put this away.
-Oh, let me get my bag too.

[James] You don't need to
bring your bag to…

-[Shelley] No, we're going out.
-[James] Oh, your handbag, your small bag.

-[Shelley] Yeah.
-[James] Sorry.

Oh, yeah, your small handbag. Yep.

[sultry music playing]

[Cian] Are you ready?

Yes, I'm ready.

Okay, you can do this.

You can do this, Logan.

I deserve this.

I need this.

[mysterious music playing]

[narrator]
Logan is meeting Hailey.

She likes hockey players fighting

and men in suits.

She doesn't like scorpions

or drivers breaking the rules.

[tires screeching]

Hello!

Hi.

-How are you?
-[Logan] I'm good.

I'm Hailey.

-And I'm Logan. Nice to meet you.
-It's nice to meet you too.

[uneasy music playing]

So what are you from?

Oh, I live here.

[Hailey] Oh, me too.

So do you have your brother and sisters?

My sister's at home, yeah.

I have my older brother.

Oh, I'm… I'm Logan.
Did I mention that? Hi, Hailey.

[Hailey chuckles]

So what do you do for a living?

I, uh…

Oh, you know,
I just… I just do computer stuff.

[Hailey] Mm. Technologies.

I work at a school
as a food service worker.

Serve to the students, prepping food,

all kinds of stuff.

Oh, well, tell me more about this.

Yeah, um, so we're just prepping food
and anything to serve it to students.

-That's cool.
-[Hailey] Yeah.

So, um, what is…

what is your, um, favorite colors?

Orange and blue.

Mine was, um, red and black.

[Logan] Okay.

And, um, what is
your, um, favorite like to do?

I like to crochet,
and I like model trains.

[Hailey] Mm!

I like to watch model train videos.
I'm a huge fan of
Thomas & Friends
.

Okay.

[Hailey hesitates, clears throat]

[clears throat]

[softly] Oh my goodness.

In Atlanta…

[Connor in British accent]
Barrington Hall.

…Connor has arrived
for his tea party picnic with Georgie.

[Connor] A picnic basket.

[in normal accent] Just wondering
where Georgie is.

[sighs] Oh, this thing's
gonna rip my arm out though.

[bugs buzzing]

Bugs.

[music fades]

[blows]

-[music resumes]
-[Connor] Ah.

Georgie!

-Connor! Look what I found for you.
-[Connor] Ooh.

[Georgie] It's a bouquet.

I got… I made them, see?

That's lovely.

I should hang…
put these outside the house.

That's what I was thinking.

-Would you, um, maybe wanna sit down?
-Yes, please.

-But first let's take a look around here.
-Okay.

This is Barrington Hall.

It was built in
by some guy called Barrington.

Oh, look.
That's a bee pollinating the flowers.

[Georgie] Oh, I see it.

[Connor] Are those hyacinths or bluebells?

[Georgie] I'm gonna say bluebells.

-Ooh, look.
-[Connor] Violets.

-[Georgie] Right? Those are violets?
-Yes. Violets are blue. [scornful chuckle]

Ridiculous. Everyone knows violet
is a shade of purple.

-This looks good.
-[Georgie] Right here?

[Connor] Excuse me.

Mm-hmm. Thank you.

-Flowers there.
-Bugs.

-[grunts]
-[Georgie] They're getting you?

Never mind bug spray.
I wish I had a zapper with me.

-[Georgie chuckles]
-[splutters]

-Ah!
-[Georgie] Ooh.

Quite a lovely spread.

-We've got salmon sandwiches.
-[Georgie] Mm-hmm.

-[chuckles]
-[Connor] Bugs.

-I hate all these bugs.
-The bugs say they're gonna join us.

-Georgie, they're… You're… Shoo!
-Yeah.

You vile vermin!

Leave us alone, you filthy insects!

[Georgie] Mm!

[Connor] Mm.

[music fades]

[sniffing]

[Georgie chuckles]

[rain pattering]

-[Connor] Did you feel that?
-[Georgie] Yeah. [chuckles]

-Ah!
-That doesn't sound good.

-Oh no!
-[Georgie chuckles]

-Quick, pack up.
-[rain pouring]

-Quick, quick.
-I'm moving, moving!

[Georgie chuckles]

-No, wait, did the… Oh, that did not…
-I put it…

-That was not a good-- Oh my.
-I put it in.

[tense music playing]

-It's not closing.
-It's okay.

-[Connor] Hmm.
-I'll take this.

Rain!

[Connor] Stupid rain.

Ever seen the movie
Rain Man
?

-[Georgie] No.
-[Connor] Me neither.

And it's really tipping down, isn't it?

[music fades]

Did you… Fun fact.

The people in London have over ways
to say that it's raining.

[Georgie] It's raining cats and dogs.

[in British accent]
Real brolly buster, isn't it?

[Georgie chuckles]

[Connor in normal accent] Excuse me,
but I believe it's tea time.

[Georgie chuckles]

[refined classical music playing]

[Connor] Your tea.

Thank you.

-Cheers.
-Cheers.

-[Connor] Care for a scone?
-[Georgie] Yes, please.

[Connor] Here's to England.

Scone.

Oh, did you know
they brought back the dire wolf?

Yeah, I saw they had two white cubs,
I think it was.

There's ac… there's three, actually.

They brought them back

the same way they brought back dinosaurs
in
Jurassic Park
.

They used the DNA
from a fossilized dire wolf skull,

and because the DNA was so old,

it was full of holes.

So geneticists had to use
the complete DNA of gray wolves

to fill in the gene sequence gaps.

-[thunder rumbling]
-[uneasy music playing]

[exhales sharply] All right.

Time for the hatchet.

[thunder rumbling]

So, um, Georgie,

let's, uh…

-Oof. This isn't easy.
-[Georgie chuckles]

[thunder clapping]

[Connor] The thunder speaks.

[music fades]

Emma's date with Austin.

-[Emma] Yes, I'm serious.
-No gray hair, obviously.

-No gray hair. [laughs]
-[dad] I'm happy.

[Emma] He, like, asked me out again,

but I was like,
"I think we should just be friends."

-Okay.
-[Emma] Yeah.

-[dad] That's okay.
-Yeah.

-See? It's not that scary, right?
-[Emma] Yeah. Yeah. [giggles]

-Most part. For the most part. Yeah.

[dad] Good job.

[instruments tuning]

[dad] Looks like they're getting ready
to start. I hear music.

-Yeah, I probably should go.
-[dad] Oh, so… All righty.

Do you want me to hold this stuff for you?

Forgot to do my lipstick.
I'm freaking out. Yeah.

-Well, it's okay. It's okay.
-Yeah, it's just…

-It's… [mutters nervously]
-It's okay.

It's just… I forgot to do my lipstick.
I'm freaking out, okay?

No, just calm down. It's okay, sweetheart.
It's gonna be okay.

I'm just… Sorry. I just…
I wanna do it, like…

-If you need to. It's okay.
-I really need to.

-I really need to. Bad. Like…
-Okay, go do it. Okay.

-[Emma] Oof! Sorry, Abby.
-[Abby] It's okay.

Sorry, Abby. Sorry, Abby.
Sorry, Abby. I'm sorry!

It's really scary.

[mom] Oh. You're fine, okay?

[woman over PA]
Attention, students,
the student showcase is starting now.

Please head down
to the multipurpose room to participate.

-Are you excited?
-Yeah.

-Okay.
-Mm-hmm.

Yeah.

[man] It's been a long time coming.

Over here, we've got our lovely Emma.

[cheering]

[cheering and applause continue]

Okay, so this is a s--

-[microphone feedback]
-The microphone works. Um…

So this is a song I've been working on.

[cheering]

[Emma] And it…

this song,
it's called "My Own Fairy Tale."

[exhales nervously]

[audience applaud, cheer encouragingly]

[applause continues]

-[piano begins]
-[applause fades]


When I was younger
I had a little dream



Where a charming prince would come
And take me as his queen



It wouldn't matter
All the dragons he would fight



He would conquer them
And make everything all right



But now I'm older



And I have learned



No dragon's fire


♪ Could ever burn ♪


Like loneliness


♪ Inside my room



A bride to be


♪ Without a groom



And I'm tired spending every evening
Locked inside my tower



So I'm climbing down
To venture on my own



That's why I won't wait
To be rescued anymore



I'm the shining knight
For the one I'll soon adore



In my story, I won't be waiting
Fair and pale



'Cause I decide the details



In my own fairy tale


[piano, singing fade out]

[cheering, whistling]

Come on!

[cheering, whistling, applause continue]

-[man] That was good.
-Yeah. [giggles]

Yeah.

Yeah, Emma!

[cheering continues]

-[mom] Emma! Good job!
-[woman ] Emma!

[pleasant music playing]

[Hailey] Do you, um…

Like, um…

[music fades]

Oh my goodness. Oh man.

[nervous music playing]

What is… [sighs]

What am I… Oh my goodness.

What is your favorite things…

Is… Oh man.

What is your… your favorite artist?

Do you like Katy Perry or, um, Bruno Mars?

Miley Cyrus.

Oh, you love her, huh?
So what is your… her favorite songs?

"Party in the USA."

My mom loves that song also.

-Cool.
-[both chuckle]

[clears throat]

Do you like, um, roller coaster?
You may have been to Disneyland?

Yeah, but when we went on one,
I got really scared.

The one… Me and my sister and my mom.

I was so scared, I… I… I almost cried.

Well, I'm not scared of anything.

I like to enjoy roller coaster,
ride an elevator, so many things.

Tell me more about this.

We went to the Orlando
for, um, Walt Disney World.

-There's so many things.
-That's cool.

So how old are you?

-[Logan] I'm .
-Mine's .

-[Logan] Oh, you're years old.
-Yeah.

Okay.

[Hailey clears throat]

I've never been out with a person
that works at a school before,

but I'm really loving the hang of this.

[Hailey chuckles]

Yeah.

Are those…

Oh, I'm so sorry.
I mean, uh, these are for you.

Oh, thank you.

-I thought you would like them.
-I really love roses.

-They're beautiful.
-Thanks.

-Roses are red. Roses are red.
-Violets are blue.

Violets are blue. Like you.

So…

[clears throat] So, um…

[hesitating]

[Logan] Sorry, I…

I, um, I space out sometimes

because I get really shy
when I'm in front of somebody I don't…

I've never met before.

[Hailey] Mm.

But I know that you're nice
'cause you introduced me really good.

[chuckling] Thank you.

So do you like watching movies?

Uh, uh, yes, I do.

I'm a huge fan of
Toy Story
and Pixar.

Wait, wait,
Toy Story
?

Oh my gosh.

We like watching
Toy Story
.
Like, I see the
Toy Story
.

I almost so cried.

I'm gonna watch it again.

Aw!

You're so pretty,

and I'm gonna wait for your answer.

Oh, okay.

[music fades]

[Hailey chuckles nervously]

[thunderclap]

[Connor] The thunder speaks.

[tense music playing]

All right.

So, um, Georgie,

we've been dating for almost a year now,

and

I know we

agreed to be
boyfriend and girlfriend, but…

However, I

feel something's been bothering me
for a while.

Oh?

[Connor] Let's, uh…

-[sighs] Ooh. This isn't easy. Uh…
-[Georgie chuckles]

You know how sometimes…
you like someone, you wanna kiss them.

Sometimes, you wanna do
other things with them.

I'm… But, okay,
but I'm… I'm getting ahead of myself.

Do y… [exhales sharply]

I feel like I need to ask.

Georgie, where do you see
our relationship?

I mean, do you think of me as…

think of me romantically

or… or just as a friend?

Romantically.

[Connor] Oh… oh.

That's great because I think
of you romantically as well.

And the reason I ask

is because, well, sometimes I feel you do…

you are into me, you do like me,

and sometimes I get signals
that… that imply you don't.

Oh?

It's just hard to read you sometimes,
you know?

-[Georgie] Yeah.
-Yeah.

Sometimes,
my friends think that I'm upset,

but it's just me relaxed.

Yeah, because when I wanna kiss
and you don't want to,

it almost feels like I'm being rejected.

I don't mean to make you feel that way.

It's okay.

I think maybe
'cause I've never kissed, like, a boy

other than, you know, my dad,
like, on the cheek. [chuckles]

-Still trying to learn…
-Yeah.

…that it's okay to kiss you
'cause you're my boyfriend.

So you are attracted to me physically
as well as emotionally.

Mm-hmm.

Wow, I'm actually… Georgie,
I'm actually relieved to hear this.

And what's more, I feel like I…

we can go forward in this relationship
without any fears.

[chuckling] Yeah.

-[uplifting music playing]
-[birds singing prettily]

[Connor] "Restoration of
Barrington Hall's East Garden." Oof.

-[Georgie] You cold? [giggling]
-[Connor] Yeah. [chuckles, shivers]

A bit.

This is a romantic location.

Oh, what have we here?

Sorry, this might not be a good spot,
but I think it's a good place for a--

For a kiss.

[rain pattering]

[music fades]

[pleasant music playing]

-[Hailey] Do you like weather?
-Uh, yes, I do.

Normally, I wear my jacket
around my waist,

but I don't do that when I go on a date.

Mm. Do you like, uh, summer?

-Yeah, I do.
-Summer's just always a hot weather.

[Hailey] What is your favorite TV show?

[Logan]
Hannah Montana.

A lot of people teased me before
and say it's for little kids, and…

-But I don't care what they say.
-[Hailey] Mm.

Same as me.

Like, I get teased from the… from bullies.

Sometimes if people are really mean to me,
they make fun of me, I think, about me.

Hailey, I'm sorry that really…
that happened.

[Hailey] Yeah.

It hurts me a lot.

It breaks my heart so bad.

Well, Hailey, just… just… just…

just remember, if you need some…

if you need a friend,
I'm always here for you.

[Hailey] Mm. [chuckles softly]

I'm always on your side.

Do you like, um… do you like any desserts?

Hailey, whatever you… dessert you want,

I'm all for it.

Okay, my favorite dessert
was, um, cheesecake.

-Do you like cheesecake?
-Love cheesecake! That's my favorite!

Mine too!

I friggin'… I really love cheesecake.

You know, you wanna share one?

Of course.
We can share the cheesecake after this.

You and I.

-Yeah, I'd like that.
-[Hailey] Mm!

You know, sorry if I'm sounding
a little weird and… But… I'm okay.

And you know what?
I think you're okay too.

Yeah, I think we're okay now.

-Yeah.
-[Hailey chuckles]

[bell rings]

That's really good chicken parms.

[Logan] I'm just gonna take
a little piece. I… My fork got…

-Oh, do you wanna try?
-[Logan] Sure.

-[Hailey] It has mozzarella cheese on it.
-This is really good.

Got a little something on your face,
I think. Here. Let me get that.

[Hailey] Oh. [chuckles]

I gotta say, um, Hailey,

you look really nice today.

Thank you.

-So do you.
-Thanks.

-I like it, the blue jacket.
-[Logan] Mm-hmm.

I figured you would. [chuckles]

[Hailey clears throat]

Will you excuse me, Logan?
I go to the bathroom.

-I'll wait for you.
-[Hailey] All right.

[Cian] How do you think the date's going?

You know, Cian,

even if she doesn't have
curvy, straight hair,

I like her just the way she is.

[Cian] Yeah, she's got straight hair.

And you know what?
She's… the girl I'd like to just be with.

If she loves me back,
then I love her back too.

[Cian] You love her?

Yes.
