• 2:15
  Speaker 1: Sebastian re enters Chelsea's life as a reminder for these
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: Paris is always a good idea. Episodes, we don't do
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: our usual like wish did you see that?
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: Format.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: We kind of run through the major plot points and
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: discuss them, not a true scene by seeing recap, but
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: we'll be get into everything that we see in this episode, right,
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: So let's start. Let's talk about Annabel Annabel love Annabel,
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: not enough Annabelle in this episode, not enough Annabelle in
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: this episode. And I think it was an interesting choice
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: to leave Annabel behind. She's sticking around to have her
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: date with Declan, which I actually story wise, I kind
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: of like that they didn't just make her forget about
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: this little budding romance that she has. But she's so
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: good on screen and I miss having her be there
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: for Chelsea. But the other thing is being separate from Chelsea.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: She does a nice job of moving the situation with
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: her dad and Sherry forward a little bit, so I
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: like that a lot. I also want to call out
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: we talked in the first two episodes about how you
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: noticed like it's so sunny and away and it's not
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: sunny anymore. She's like, what the heck is up with
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: this Irish summer? It's clearly raining, She's in a jacket,
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: she's sitting on in this cliff. I'm sure the actress
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: is like, what the heck, man, You're gonna make me
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: sit out here in the rain and have this FaceTime call.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: But we're back to truly Irish Weather.
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: I love that it was so different.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: Than in the previous episode, and that we talked about
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: it in the previous episode review.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: Huh.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: I loved it.
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: I know when she's sitting there and says, like, what's
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: up with this? You know, Irish Summer, I was like,
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: oh my god, I mean it worked out perfectly. I
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: just thought that was so funny.
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: I love that she's going to stay behind and pursue
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: something with Declan. I like that Chelsea was encouraging that.
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: Well, I think there's so much to learn more about
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: annabel because and Chelsea even like says like, oh, you
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: haven't really been with anybody since don On you know
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: a name I didn't even catch right same, So I'm
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: hoping that we learn some more there. I love Annabelle.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: I'm really interested in her story. Again, this is a
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: total departure from the book. We'll talk about some changes
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: from the book as well. Another departure that I want
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: to point out is the character of Sherry is written
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: very differently than she is portrayed on screen. Barbara Nivin
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: plays her so warmly and on screen, I think even
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: her dialogue is written. She's warm, she's supportive, she's not
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: trying to overstep. She's trying to give everyone the space
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: that they need to process this new relationship and to
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: get places.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: In their own time.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: And even when Annabel is talking to her dad and
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: Sherry and she's like, you know, you guys need to
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: figure this out, Sherry's like, yo, you're the dad. You
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: need to be the one. She's not like that daughter
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: of yours needs to, you know, apologize. She's just like,
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: you know, you're her dad, You're the one who needs
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: to move this forward. I love the character of Sherry
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: in all fairness in the book, Chelsea behaves very differently.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: She's much colder, she's much more harsh on the Sherry relationship,
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: and so it makes sense that Sherry reacts in a
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: little more like cold and reserved way to her. But
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: of course I prefer this Barbara Niven version of Sherry,
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: like I don't need a villain out there.
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I want this. I want this Sherry in my life.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: Right And for Annabel too, isn't it so nice because
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: obviously like she needs this mother figure in her life,
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: like they're their dad's great clearly, but it does seem
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: like Sherry is filling a place in Annabell's life. Yeah,
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: and I love that for her me too. The other
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: thing I want to point out about this Annabelle scene.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: Did you happen to pause and read the back and
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: forth emails from Sebastian and Chelsea.
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: I did not so.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: In the very beginning of this scene, Annabelle is looking
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: at the email thread between Chelsea and Sebastian that followed
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: Sabashian saying like, wait, I'm in Paris.
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: Can we meet up?
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: And I had to pause and read it on screen,
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: and it basically lets you know. Sebastian's like, Oh, I've
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: been living in New York all this time, but I'm
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: in Paris for a shoot. And Chelsea's like, oh my gosh,
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: that's such a coincidence. Like Boston and New York are
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: so close, it's crazy. We've never like, I don't think
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: she says, like we've ever cross paths, but that's the implication.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: They do point that out again later in the episode.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: They do say like he's been living in New York.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: But I like that setup on screen if you were
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: so inclined to pause it and read it, and the
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: attention to detail and adding in those back and forth emails.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: The only thing I noticed about the emails is like
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: the subject was like regarding regarding regarding where. It's obviously
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: a back and forth afteryeah, back and forth a lot.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: I thought it was very funny, but I didn't read
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: the context of those emails at all.
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: And that's kind of a wrap.
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: On Annabell as we see it.
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: I hope we get more animal next episode.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: Yes, yes, maybe Ducklin and Annabel arrive in Paris.
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: Maybe or Spain? Oh yeah, is that where we're going next? Spain? Okay,
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: let's talk Chelsea and Sebastian. Let's do it.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: I love how their history unfolds at the top of
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: the episode.
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: Mm hmm.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: I thought there was something so different about it because
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: I'm trying to it's it's definitely doesn't feel like Hallmark right.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: Oh interesting because like in our Hallmark typical movies setups,
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: it's like kind of we land at a certain place
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: this particular and I'm sorry, I'm not like describing it
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: so well. But Chelsea and Sebastian meeting way back in
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: the day when she is in Parrot. Are they in
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: Paris though they're like outside of Paris, right correct? A
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: forest in France. Yeah, so she's like doing some sort
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: of work. He sees her like he wants to take
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: her picture, She's reluctant, and it just like it unfolded
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: so nicely. I thought it wasn't just like wham bam. Yeah,
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: we get way more build up in the Sebastian story
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: than we did in call In. Yes, that is the
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: point I'm trying to make. Thank you for summarizing it.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: I just thought it was nicely done. But I also
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: love and I know this is how this series series
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: is going, is that you know she's she's revisiting all
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: these like who she thought were her people and they're
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: really not her peopil, right, And so of course in
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: this one we know from the jump that like Sebastian's
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: not going to be her guy, though they did kind
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: of surprise me a little bit when we see Sebastian
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: at the bridal sweet door.
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: Yes, I'm like, what is he doing?
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: Yes, and look we know it's not Sebastian, just because
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: that's not how these are set up. But when he
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: shows up and she's like, you're not supposed to be here,
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: it's giving like the groom isn't supposed to see the
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: bride before the wedding.
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: Yes, exactly.
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: So there was a part of me that I was like, oh,
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: maybe Annabelle and Sebastian end up together because I couldn't
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: figure out, like why would he be there?
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: Sure, and then we understand more later on. Of course.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: I also kind of like that when they're about to
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: have their first kiss, he's like, wait a minute, like
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: this isn't going anywhere. We're both leaving, and then, of course,
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: you know, the relationship progresses and they do, but they
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: set him up as this he's protective of his own heart, right, Yeah.
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: And hers too a little bit.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he's like, well they set it up like they're
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: timing is all wrong? Yes, exactly. I do like that
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: we get a call back to the club dancing scene
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: from episode one. Another thing I'd like to point out
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: Lacey during this time, were's a lot of nap dresses.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: Do you know what a nap dress is? No, and
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: google it. You'll see a million of them. I'm not
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: sure if it's Hillhouse specifically, Hillhouses the brand, but there's
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: a one hundred different versions of it made by other brands. Now,
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: it's a very different look than her uniform of the
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: present day. Yeah, so it's like a smock to top. Yes, right, okay,
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: floaty dress, got it?
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: Got it?
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: No?
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: Why is it called a nap dress? Like you take
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: a nap in it?
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: I guess that's just what Hillhouse calls them. But okay,
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: you don't need to spend two hundred dollars on the
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: Hillhouse version because every other brand has knocked it off. Yeah.
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: When was she wearing one on the bridge? Is the
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: second one when he's like photographing her?
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah yeah when she he photographs
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: her and then in their final goodbye kiss? Yes, yes, yes,
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: this is really interesting because this. I liked Colin in
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: the last episode, right, like he comes in he's married,
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: like I can, I can understand that he moved on
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: with his life. But then we have Sebastian here, whose
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: like motives are kind of gross and makes me hate him. Yes,
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: and we don't get to those motives right away. Sebastian
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: does give me the ick a little bit at the
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: end when you realize, like all of this has been
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: coercion to get her to sign off on something that
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: he knows she has no interest in signing off on.
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: If we can compare this to the book. Sebastian's gross
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: in the book, but in a much worse way. I
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: mean there, and I knew Hallmark would not go there.
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: But basically he tries to bribe her to hook up
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: with his gross rich friend.
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: Eh.
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: Yes, he like tries to get her drunk and so
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: that it's it's gross terrible. So we still get the
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: vibe of yes, dick, okay.
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: So having read the book and then seeing this, I'm like, well,
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: not as bad as it could have been, but still
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: such disappointment. It's another one of those things you've built
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: this guy up in your head. Obviously they had a
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: nice time together during their month together. You come back,
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: you know, they have this moment they start to kiss.
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: She's like, wait, are you married? You in a relationship? Like,
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: he's free, he doesn't have the issues that Colin had.
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: He gives her this beautiful dress. He's successful, he's found
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: his dreams and then bam, all he wanted was your
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: signature that said that he can further his career. And
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: I just feel like, ugh, it just erases that last
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: twenty four hours that you've had with this person.
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: I have to pause though and wonder why did Chelsea
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: care so much about this photo. It was unlike she
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: was she looked beautiful in it, Like, why would she
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: care so much? I wondered the same thing, and I
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: don't have an answer to it. I went back and forth.
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: I was like, come on, Chelsea, who cares? It's just
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: a photo.
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: But then on the other hand, I thought, well, doesn't
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: matter why she cares. Like she told him when he
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: took it, like this is just for us.
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: That was the deal.
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: And so he knew how strongly she felt about it
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: and that she would have to be coerced to sign
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: it off. And ultimately we learn at the end she
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: does sign it off in exchange for him photographing her
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: sister's wedding. Wait, that's her sister's wedding. Oh, photographing the wedding.
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: He's photographing the wedding, whatever wedding they're at. At the end,
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: I wonder her motivation, Like why did they need like
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: this high end photographer? Do you think, like, because okay,
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: if she's so upset with him when she bounces in
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: the red dress, like she's like no, my answer is no,
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: how does she later come back to Oh, we're going
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: to get Sebastian to photograph this wedding, and this is
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: how we're going to do it. Yeah, I would love that.
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: I don't even know if we'll ever get it, because
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: she just says, like I told your agent when I
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: signed in exchange for you photographing this wedding or whatever
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: it was. I would love to know those details, like
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: how did he get his way back in? Was it
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: just that the agent reached out and was like, I'm
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: going to try one time, and she was like, well,
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: maybe I could use this because it doesn't seem like
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: anybody in this family is hurting for money, like they
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: couldn't have afforded a photographer, not.
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: When you travel to Paris with one day's notice. But
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: maybe he's so good.
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: And well known they're like, well, this is our chance
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: to have Annie Leibowitz, okay photograph our wedding.
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: All right, you know, yeah, let's take a quick break
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: and we'll come right back to talk more.
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: Paris is always a good idea, Well why don't we
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: This is the perfect time to transition into talking about
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: Chelsea and Nightly. These are my favorite scenes in this episode.
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: Of course, I did think it was kind of interesting though,
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: because in comparison, The scenes between Chelsea and Sebastian, to me,
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: feels like classic Hallmark Lacey Shabert kind of tight, kind
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: of per right. But then when she's with Nightly, she's
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: looser and sarcastic and spontaneous and funnier. And that's the
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: Lacey that I enjoy watching. I don't like these kind
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: of I don't like I don't like her characters that
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: are too Hallmark perfect. I fully agree her with Knightley
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: is so fun if you feel like the character is
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: really letting herself go, like being herself, say the first
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: thing that comes to her mind without editing. I do
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: have to say that the first conversation they have in
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: this episode is over the phone, and I prefer they're
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: in person banter just because it's tighter. You know, when
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: we're recording these phone conversations, they're not actually talking to
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: each other and so it doesn't translate as well. But
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: when they're together, their banter is so good. I know
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: exactly what you're talking about. I know exactly the scene,
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: Oh thank you, I'm so glad. No, like she like
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: laughs to something he's yes, like, oh that feels so manufactured. Yes,
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: exactly exactly what you mean, because they have incredible chemistry
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: when they're together. Sebastian drops her off for her meeting
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: and Nightley says, he doesn't sound irish and he doesn't
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: smell like sheep.
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: I laughed out loud. I loved it.
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: And then I like that we learn more about who
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: Knightley is as a person, and I like their conversation
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: about like why everyone's doing this job, like Chelsea's doing
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: it because she wants to make a difference, and Knightley
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: is like, mom's just good at it. But then we
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: learn like, no, he's kind of in charge of taking
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: care of his sister and he needs to make good
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: money in order to be able to do that. And
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: I feel like they're trying to talk about like, hey,
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: there's lots of different reasons for doing a job, and
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: making money is a perfectly morally good reason for that,
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: and it lets Chelsea, you know, like him a little
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: bit more. He's not just this like blow hard.
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: At work, right right.
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: I felt this episode was a lot of what I
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: call walk and talk, very you know, heavy dialogue between
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: these two and and we're learning more about Nightly through
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: these conversations, and he's learning more about her through these conversations.
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: I like a dialogue heavy me too, well, because especially
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: with these two, because they're so good. Exactly, she's like,
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: I can't wear that dress. I'm a spiller just the
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: way she talks, and then he calls it back and
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: he like pushes a nap over I know you're a
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: spiller with her voice over of like, this is what
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: it feels like to be seen by something, Yeah, you know, yeah,
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: I love that. I love that because I think that's
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: ultimately what a lot of people want out of relationships
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: from their partners, to be seen. Right, And she's talking
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: about the you know, comparison between like Sebastian saw her
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: and thought she was beautiful and taught her to be
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: you know that. I don't know if he taught her
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: to be beautiful or whatever, but see herself that way, yes, exactly.
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: But Nightly sees her differently. He sees her, he sees
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: who the person she is.
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I'm loving it.
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: I'm loving it too, and I love that we get
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: the revisit of when she's like, oh, now, I understand
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: that's why you came down so hard on me for
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: spending time with my dad and my sister, and he's like, yeah,
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: I could have been nicer, and I love him being like, yeah,
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: it was kind of a dick in that moment. But
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: she's like no, like that was the message I needed
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: to hear. She like, I wouldn't have mattered, Like I
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: needed to hear that message from you. The other thing
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: I love is when she arrives at the restaurant after
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: her terrible date with Sebastian and he like pushes his
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: fries over to her and he's like secret wife and
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: she goes worse ulterior motives. I just loved it. I
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: just they get each other.
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah. Do you think they would ever do a
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: season two on this? That's a great question. Maybe. Yeah,
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: I don't know what the story is. Yeah, I don't either,
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: But you just.
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: Want more of these two, yeah, because you know how
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: you just fall in love with.
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: Like certain care. Yes, yeah, I don't know what the story.
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: Would be, like you said, but yeah, I could really
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: use a lot.
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: More of these two together.
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: This to me is the episode where Nightley's feelings are
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: very clear.
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: I mean it was it.
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: Was getting that way in the last episode, but it's
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: like the way he looks at her, not that we
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: didn't know this was going that way. But they've done
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: a really nice job of building up his emotions towards her,
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: yes and like breaking down her walls when it comes
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: to him. Like, I don't think she's in until she
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: walked into that restaurant and like her whole face changed
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: when she saw him. I think she was like, oh shit,
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: what am I doing?
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: Like he's right here? Anything else about Nightly?
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: No?
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: I just I need more. I need more.
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: I was driving my daughter and a friend somewhere the
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: other day and her friend was like, oh, I'm watching
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: Greek and I was like, oh oh, I'm like I
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: love Greek.
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: I'm like I love Kapy and she's like, I love
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: Cappy too. Oh my gosh, do I need to watch Greek?
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: Well, I'm I'm kind of on a rewatch if it
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: holds up. It's four seasons because it's their four years
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: of college.
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: Uh huh. I loved it. Spencer Grammar is in it.
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: Maybe I need to just maybe this needs to be
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: my throat on.
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: I kind of have been looking for like a lighthearted show.
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: I might have to revisit it. Okay, should we do
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: Greek Girls?
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: Girl's Gone Greek? Just kidding, just kidding. Maybe I'm not though.
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: Talk to me in twenty twenty seven January twenty twenties. Okay,
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: Greek girls coming to a podcast feed near you.
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: Maybe let's talk about Chelsea's dad. I like him so much,
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: he do.
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: I can't fault this man. He really god, he's really
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: there for his kids. And you know, when she's like
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: asking him, like how do you just She's to ask
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: something about like trusting them, you know, because Annabelle's just
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: off in Ireland with some dude and she's Chelsea's running
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: around Europe. He's like, you know, I trust that you
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: guys are going to make the best decisions or whatever.
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I just like him a lot. I like that.
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: This conversation turns on its head a little bit. He
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: calls because he's going to be the one to reach
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: out because Sherry had pushed him. But ultimately Chelsea is like, look,
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: you haven't done anything wrong. I owe you an apology
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: for my reaction. And she doesn't go so far as
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: to say like I accept Sherry and can I call
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: her mom? Right? But she's very clear that she wants
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: him to be happy, and she says, you don't need
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: my blessing like it's not my choice, like I want
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: you to make the best decision for you.
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: Just it was such a nice father daughter moment. Yeah, totally.
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: And I appreciate that Chelsea was mature enough to be like,
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: you know, she wants her dad to be happy. Yes, yeah,
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: And I think obviously her revisiting all of these past
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: loves is pointing out to her like that's not so
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: easy to find, right, Like finding the person that is
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: the right match for you is something special.
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: So yay, I love it. Anything else, I don't think so.
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: I'm just enjoying the series. I hope other people are too.
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: I'm really curious.
• 22:08

• 22:14
  Speaker 1: even watch it, and I was like, oh, I got
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: to click out of here, like this is not I'm
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: not doing this. If I were the author, I would
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: be very happy with Hallmark's take on my book. You
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: had to know they're not going to include an almost
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: sexual assault situation, they're not going to include pole dancing.
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: But I think they're being very true to the story
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: she was trying to tell. So that's where I'm landing.
• 22:41
