• 0:42
  Speaker 1: and we are keeping things updated over there. Can I
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: tell you? So, I've been gone for a week. I
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: had to take like a week off, but so we
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: recorded a bunch of stuff before we before I left,
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: and then I came home and I was watching TV
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: and then they're like the finale and I was like,
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: wait a minute, I'm talking the finale for this show
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: Paris is always a Good Idea. You hadn't even watched
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: with this, I was like, wait, I'm so confused. Yeah,
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: like aired already, Yeah, that's wild. And this was the
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: first time I've watched it on Hallmark Plus. Yeah, me too,
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: instead of on a screener. Me too. So I got
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: to see like subtitles. Yes, there was amazing. There were
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: some mistakes in the subtitles I noticed Nightly, But what
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: other what did you notice? Like Knightly was anig Apoline
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: was Abilene? Oh? Funny? Funny funny? Yeah. So, I can't
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: believe how fast this series has gone. And you know
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: our Facebook community, it seems to be well liked. Yes,
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: we have a bunch of emails. Can I read you some? Yes,
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: I'm so excited. First, Marianne says, you're kidding me that
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: you're not getting much mail bag. I listened to your
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: episode on Nightly today, I felt like I had to
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: write in. I can't believe everyone isn't writing in. The
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: show is so good. I keep wishing there were twenty
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: episodes so I can sit and binge. Ladies already my
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: favorite Hallmark actress, but in this series, she's definitely getting
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: to show off her range. She's saying so much with
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: her facial reactions and expressions, the full gamut of emotions.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: I'm so glad they're zooming in on her face. We
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: get a full view of the emotions she's feeling in character.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: I definitely cried in the scene when she shared about
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: her mom with the CEO of apline. And there's so
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: much good banter between Chelsea and Nightley and the scene
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: and the elevator. Wow, that's pushing the Hallmark envelope, isn't it?
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: Wow in a good Is she like a wow in
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: a good way? Or a wow? Oh? I think so? Yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: yeah yeah. Allison says, thank you for the library tip
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: for connecting to Hallmark. Plus, I pretty much binge the
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: first five episodes the past few days and just started
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: episode four of your podcast. As usual, your takes are
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: spot on. My biggest annoyance of the first few episodes
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: was her wardrobe. I just can't see wearing those tank
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: tops in an office with at a soup jacket, and
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: her hair always looks so messy pulled back doesn't get
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: her character her stiling need too, Summer says. My theory
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: is that the final episode will be nightly Revisited. It
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: makes sense that if all the other episodes are about
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: revisiting a place and or person, the final episode would
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: also follow that pattern. That's why this one is just nightly,
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: and as a romance reader, I refuse to believe that
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: Jason and Chelsea do not end up together, no matter
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: what the end of the episode wants us to believe. Yeah,
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: I think we can see the runway hair right. I yes,
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: she says there's a subtle but meaningful moment that happened
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: that I have to talk about in the car after
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: the meeting with Sophie Arnaut, when they're on the phone
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: with their boss, after Jason unintentionally shares the news about
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: Chelsea's mom, the camera moves to a shot looking down
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: at her phone. Her hand is holding the phone, and
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: in a blink you miss it moment, we see Jason's
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: fingers reach out and brush hers as if he's offering
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: her comfort. So quick, so subtle, so swoony. I was
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: a little nervous going in because I had issues with
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: the book, but the changes that have been made are great.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: Lacy and Scott Michael Foster are dynamic together, and we
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: need him in more Hallmark movies asap. I would agree
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: with that. Well. I started watching the show Greek which
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: Scott Michael is this Scott Michael or Michael Scott Scott
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: Michael that he's in from like years and years ago,
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: and I think he looks better today. Like I mean,
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: obviously he's like young and like he's very young in Greek,
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: but he's and his character is so like messy and chaotic.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: He has aged nicely. Absolutely what I'm trying to say, Yes,
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: for sure? Do you want our synopsis? I do. Encouraged
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: by Knightley to seek out answers to the last few
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: lingering questions about her past loves, Chelsea goes to Spain
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: and to Marcos's spineyard. Hey, Wendy, what was your first
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: impression of Marcos revisited? Well, Elze goes all the way
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: to Spain to learn from her mistakes and immediately makes
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: the same mistake in Boston. Right, My first impression is
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: the floor budget of this show must have exceeded that
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: of most countdown to Christmas movies. Oh, I'd be so
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: curious about that. Gorgeous though gorgeous, Oh yeah, totally, I
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: mean we'll like, can you imagine these two actors are like, Yeah,
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: I'm going to go shoot all this stuff like in
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: Paris and Spain and all these beautiful places. Why are
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: you confused? No? Like, what as opposed to like what
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: other people get to do. Vancouver, got it, got it,
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: got it, got it, got Yeah. Sure we are back.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: We have our as usual cold open. We are on
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: the castle grounds and we get like some sleeping views
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: of the castle grounds and some shots of the wedding,
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: and then we get look, I refuse to believe this
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: is Chelsea's wedding. Yeah, they are trying to like lead
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: us to believe that. Well, I think they did a
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: really good job of that, and at the end of
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: episode four, but then as it opened, I was like,
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: this is not her wedding, right, yeah, right, because it's
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: not due Marcos and Glenn talked like Marcos is kind
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: of like managing, you know, set up. He would not
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: be managing that at his own wedding. He's managing because
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: this is his place. And Glenn comes over and he's
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: like she's gonna love this, right, intentionally ambiguous, and Marcos
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: is calling him mister Martin. He's like, I think you
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: can call me Glenn by now, right. So there's all
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: these moments where they're like, huh huh, maybe it's not
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: it's not Chelsea's wedding. Yeah. It feels like the opening
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: of this like you said is walking back. The end
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: of episode four, they're like, oh, we got youa but
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: don't worry. Don't worry, We're gonna pull it right back.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: And it's funny because they don't fully reveal it until
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: the end when Annabelle like opens the door and Chelsea's
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: in a bridesmaid's dress. Finally, but I felt like after this,
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: I was like, it's not it's not Chelsea. The whole time,
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: I was like, it's not Chelsea. Ya ya see. And
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: for some reason it might just be in my state
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: of mind, but I was like cand of be rationally
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: mad about it. I don't know why, because I thought
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: the end of episode four was so good and then
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: I was like, well, duh, it's not going to be.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: She's not going to be marrying Marco's right, But it
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: was kind of a good for a show that's released episodically.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: It was a nice cliffhanger. It was a nice moment.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: I think so too. So we get the Chelsea and
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: Marco's origin story, and it's a little bit different from
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: her moments with the other guys in that she's she's
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: not charmed by him. He's got Daddy's money and she
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: thinks he should be more environmentally responsible. Like where does
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: that come from? Though? But that's her whole thing, Like
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: that's what she's doing, Like she was you know, she
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: works with the now, right, but like she wanted to
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: be like a conservationist, is right? So I had completely
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: forgotten Yeah that because that's right because she was working
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: like was that she like by the ocean or something
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: like the river? Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah yeah.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: So I mean it comes from a good place and
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: I actually think it does make sense. And but she's
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: she's not really warm to him, like he's trying. I
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: guess he's used to the girls falling at his feet?
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: Is this how you nab a billionaire? You don't You
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: don't play hard to get, you don't take any interest
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: in them. Yeah, I mean it works. He's like, what
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: do you mean you're not falling all over me? Well,
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: now I must have you, but look, I gotta I
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: gotta appreciate that. She's like, yo, your carbon footprint is huge.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: That car is ridiculous. And so he's like, well, I'm
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: going to give me a bike. Dowo. People use the
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: what years is supposed to be She's supposed to be
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: in college, right, or maybe host to college. It's ten
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: years ago, that's right. Yeah, he's saying print print Yeah,
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: probably probably they probably were someone who's in the environmental space,
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: probably was using it before. Yeah, bos are like me,
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: probably general ridacular before. Everyone's more worried about Taylor Swiss
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: carbon footprint than exactly the actual problems of the world.
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: There were some funny moments when she's like, you're just
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: not my type. He's like, I'm ever one's type, but
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: he's my type. Yeah. This, this man who plays him
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: is super handsome. I believe last week you said follin,
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: did I yeah about this guy? Yeah? Oh my god,
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: because you said Marcus is fine and I said, did
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: you mean fine? Are foining? And you clarified. I need
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: to see who the actor is because yea, I all
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: hate news and nodes. Just kidding. What is his name?
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: Let me find out his name, because he's Floyinge. His
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: name is Alejandro. I can't I'm not any meaning that
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: attempt this last name. Oh my god. He's so much
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: younger than me too. I'm born in eighty two. Is
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: he your age? He's younger than me. He's my brother's age.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: He's been in a ton of stuff. He's real handsome.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: He's incredibly handsome, and okay, moving on, and look, look
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: I like that. He's like he takes the note. She's like,
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: look here's my issues, and he's like done, and then
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: like it's so easy, so easy. I know. I was like, oh,
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: this is the hallmarks touch on this episode fully, like
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: just too easily wrapped in terms of like when she's like,
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: I don't like that you she's critical of his carbon
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: footprint like you said, and like how he spends his
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: money and et cetera, et cetera, and then he just
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: makes changes like that. Well, I just think they're painting him,
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: like she says. She says Colin was a romance. Sebastian
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: was fired, Marcos was a partner. She just has a
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: whole different vibe. He's much more mature than the other
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: two guy. Sure, he he just feels like a better
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: match for her. And I think there's a case we
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: made that on paper. He certainly is the better match
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: for her. And then right when he asks her to stay,
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: she gets the news about her mom and she leaves.
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: Good scene by Lacy Shavert here, great scene with her
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: dad on the phone. Yeah yeah, and I like the
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: way that they shot it too. It wasn't like now
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: if you had subtitles on, you could see what the
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: dad was saying. I could hear him. I don't remember
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: hearing anything. I thought it was kind of it was muted,
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: but you could hear him. I was like, you got
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: to come home. I thought that was really well done. Yeah,
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: well done by the doctor here. The interesting thing to
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: me is that this is the first time in these
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: three revisited relationships where Chelsea looks a little bit like
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: the flawed one in the relationship, just because she comes
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: off like a little hard and that's just my perception.
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: The other thing is like when in the voiceover when
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: she docks sat him selling the car, She's like, he
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: never told me that he did that. I don't know
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: how she finds out that he sold the car, but
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: he doesn't come to her and he's like, I sold
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: that car to charity. It's just done in the background, right,
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: These are nice, These are nice notes, I agree. And
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: then they have the Marcos reunion and I like that
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: he's he still seems to be the same guy, Like
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: he's still very flirty because she's like, I'm seeing someone
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: and He's like, I don't care, and he repeats that
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: like multiple times. I have it. Did you see that? Oh?
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: Did you notice how ill fitting her shirt was? I
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: just got out of the car to go see him.
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: I didn't. She's wearing like a different from her usual
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: like tank top. She was wearing like it wasless but
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: it was button but it was just ill fitting across
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: the chest, like the buttons were tent tents. Yeah, they
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: needed some tape. Yeah yeah. I just was like, no,
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: why would they put hern't? Okay? I know we don't
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: usually pick that stuff out, but it bothered me. Last
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: week you were like, this guy's not a buffoon, right, Like,
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: he's not one of the two duds, obviously, but he
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: has continued to kind of grow. He's taking them over
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: his dad's business and in the process has sold most
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: of the business. And now he's sitting on forty eight
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: freaking billion dollars. Like, is that a reality? Forty eight
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: billion dollars? I mean, I don't know, is it? I
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: have absolutely no idea. He doesn't know what to do
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: with it. I wonder if the hardest part about reconnecting
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: with Marcos is that he actually lives up to her
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: memory of him. Oh good point. Like the other guys,
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: you know, she didn't feel the need to go back
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: a because she has feelings for Nightly, But also, like
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: with Colin and with Sebastian, both were disappointing in some way,
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: and so Marcos is not right. He is actually continued
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: to act based on her influence. Yes, So what's interesting
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: is as as handsome as he is, and as I
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: think attracted to him as she probably is, she doesn't
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: really seem so there's no moment where I feel like, oh,
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: she's considering this as a relationship. Yeah, me neither. And
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: they don't give us enough to like, we don't see
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: any like backstory, a whole ton of backstory on them
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: where they were having this like romantic h yeah, I
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: was sure, Yeah, but she does like she's like, I
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: worried I'm leaning him on, But she's also like, I
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: told him the truth. You know. I don't know. What's
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: interesting though, is she like wants to tell him. She's like,
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: I need to explain why I left, and he's like,
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: I don't want to live in the pause. I'd be
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: like I want to know, Yeah, you need some answer, right, Yeah,
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: I know, I don't I hate that. We always talk
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: about that too, like oh, no, you need to tell
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: me now, like there's no postpony, and like tell me now,
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: or tell me the reason why you left. Yeah, it
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: doesn't change anything. It's not like since that line, I
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: have been wondering, is there a reason? Is there a
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: reason he didn't want to know? Is I going to
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: come back into play? It doesn't seem like it is
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: at all. It just seems like they're maybe trying to
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: paint him as someone who's like it doesn't matter, Like
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: I don't. I don't hold that against you, but I
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: would still if I were him, I would want to
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: know why'd you leave? Yeah, especially because she basically ghosted him.
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: She says that she does. Yeah. I mean even after
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: leaving any point she could have been like, hey, this
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: is what happened. Like I can understand we live in
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: the age of an email. She d have shot him
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: an email. I totally understand her being like I got
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: to get out of here and just leaving. I understand that.
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: And I can even understand like feeling overwhelmed by emotions
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: and being like I can't handle this. But she had
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: many opportunities to shoot him, and he will be like
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: I had a family emergency, even without getting into it.
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: So right, we're hinging on my biggest problem with the episode. Okay,
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: Marcus tells Chelsea he wants to start a foundation and
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: he wants her to run it. Yeah, because he's sitting
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: on forty eight billion dollars. Why is is she not
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: pitching the ACC to him? Why is he why? Why
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: is he not a potential donor for the ACC? Here's
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: why I think that is. In that same dinner conversation,
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: he says, like, the difference between her and everybody else
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: is everyone else always wants something from him when they
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: reach out, it's always to ask him for money, even
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: if it's for something good. And I think she didn't
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: want to cross that line with him. Come on, convenient,
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah you know, yeah, because I thought the same thing.
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: I mean, she's supposed to be such a hard nose, like, yeah,
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: one percent of his money would endow the ACC forever exactly,
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: Especially after she has this conversation with Aiden, He's like,
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: I know, oh, the donation we just got is like
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: barely keeping us afloat, and she learns we'll get to it.
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: I'm guessing about nightly and whatever, and what she does.
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: I don't know why at this point she can't pivot
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: back to Marcos and be like, hey, yeah, I don't
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: And I wonder if that's what's going to happen in
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: the next episode, because I do feel like when she
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: has that conversation with Aiden and we will talk about it,
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: I really want her to be like, wait, pause, don't
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: make any crazy decisions. Let me see what I can do. Yeah, exactly,
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: hold on this for twenty four hours, right, and then
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: figure something out. Because had she gone back to Marcos
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: with that money, she wouldn't have been asking for it
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: for herself. Let's take a break and come back talk
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: about Nightley's money problems. We go back to Boston. Niley's
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: at home with his sister, who looks much older than
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: a teenager. Don't you think she's supposed to be a teenager? Yeah? Oh,
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: I thought this girl was like a college girl. I
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: don't think so. Yeah. I mean, I think that's the
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: whole reason he can't leave is like she's in school.
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: I thought the styling was like very like nineties of
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: like she just had like nineties hair, I thought, and like, anyway,
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. But I honestly was running on the
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: assumption that she was a college student. No, because he
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: even says later to Chelsea, like, I can't leave till
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: my sister's in college. Ah could catch Yeah she did
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: look much older much, I mean, Chelsea's sister could have
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: played the Yeah, yeah, I agree. But basically we learn,
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: like we already know that he's kind of supporting her,
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: paying for her to go to school, but now she's
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: made the club soccer team. It's outrageously expensive, and he's like,
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: don't worry, I got it. But then of course we
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: see that like paniced look on his face, like maybe
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: I don't got it, but he feels like he's got
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: to come through for her because their parents are such
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: a disappointment. Well, here's another problem I have with this
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: episode is like we've spent like the last five episodes
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: all up in Chelsea's business, and we know a sliver
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: right of his backstory and that he's financially responsible for
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: this sibling and so on and so forth, but like
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: we don't know anything else. Yeah, that's where this series
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: could have benefited with two extra episodes to build out
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: some of these other stories. Yeah, or season two from
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: his povy Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, because later on, like
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: we see him walking with a friend, and we don't
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: know anything about this guy. I mean, it's obvious we
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: can deduce like this is his friend, his friend, it
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: is just a baby. They're in a fantasy football league.
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: Like there's a whole thing going on. He's like, I
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: can't afford it. What does your fantasy football league costs
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: that you can't afford the buy in? I don't know,
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: a couple hundred bugs. Maybe I don't know, Yeah, maybe
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I just laughed at this. The guy's like, dude,
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: I'm tired. Yeah. I thought it was very funny, I'm sure,
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: but I thought it was also bad advice from the
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: friend who was like, it's your sister, you don't owe her.
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: Like yeah, I was like what. I didn't like that
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: either at all. What he's like, it's not your kid
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: or so, I don't know something. I just thought it
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: was terrible advice. Terrible. Yeah, Nightley's showing up for his family. Yeah,
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: that's it. Addible life a little bit harder, but that's
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: what he feels compelled to do. Yeah, and he's in
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: a position to do so, even if it means, you know,
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: cutting some things out of his personal life. I understand
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: Nightley's motivation there. I did like they have their little
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: phone date. They're like both looking at their phones and
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: nightly calls, and she's so happy to hear from him.
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: She tells him about the job offer, right, and he
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: is like so sad about it, and he's done long
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: distance and it's never been successful, and he's like, I
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: always pick women whose permanent plan is not to stay here.
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: And then they kind of move on for UK. They like,
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: we'll figure it out. And then they talk about his
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: sister and the money, and she offers to help him
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: and he turns her down, and there's just like they're
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: laying it all out there. Yeah, she knows the whole
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: score basically, but he does tell her like Debt told
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: my family apart, my family lost everything, and he does.
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: He's like almost about to tell her he loves her,
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: and then he says, sweet dreams. It's sweet. It's a
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: nice call. It's a cute. They're cute. I like the
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: way they're doing that. Mm hmmm. Is the agen Seine
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: next when she goes down to the office. Yes, Chelsea's
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: surprises makes it like a surprise WA's at home she
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: got like surprises Annabelle, who's like at home watering plants.
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: I'm back, like I made my decision, and she says
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: she's going to go surprise Nightly at work. What was
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: your thought here? Did you have any No? Not really.
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: I was like, oh no, oh no, something's gonna go wrong.
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: Like I was convinced like she was gonna catch Nightly
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: doing something you should in a bent or another woman
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: or I don't know. I just was like, oh, terrible,
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: they're setting this up not to go well, because it's
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: it's I just knew they were setting it up not
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: to go well, and it was different than what I thought.
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: She walks in with her two giant duncan donus ice
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: coffee's product placement again, like they're just literal like gallons
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: of black iced coffee, which even like sweating at all. No,
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: they did have some faux ice cubes and them I
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: just I get so scary. She like grabs them at
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: the end and like Kino sometimes when you grab like
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: a plastic spillage everywhere. Oh my god. I just was like,
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: worst nightmare happening. I'm like, who's treating that big ass
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: ice coffee? Just black? Like that, right, you can't even
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: imagine vibrating seriously at the end of the day. Yeah,
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: and before she's able to speak to Nightly, Aiden intercepts
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: her and gives her the the download of it having
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: for one one. Yeah, we're barely staying afloat. Kind of interesting, right,
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: I'm like, what happened to all your money? But look,
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: I get it, the world's smart expensive. He basically is like,
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: your donation saved us. But also we're laying people off.
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: Oh it's awful, and Nightley's gotta go. I mean, I
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: think she makes a good pitch like it Nightley did,
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: save it, saved the deal, the Paris Deal with Sophie
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: or whatever her name is. But you know, I kind
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: of like that Chelsea falls on the sword here, But
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: also I kind of hated it too. Yeah. So it's
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: so I had so many mixed emotions, right, and I
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: hate the way she handles it with Nightly. She basically
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: is like, we got to cut this off. In her voiceover,
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: she explains like, I could never tell him the truth.
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: His pride would never have allowed here. I get that,
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: And I do think she was between a rock and
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: a hard place because she wanted him to have this job,
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: you know, it's like Nightly A'll land on his feet
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: and he probably would have, right, I'm maybe, I don't know.
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: I wish there was another way for her to handles
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: because when she starts cutting Nightly off, I'm like, oh,
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: she's like back to her old ways. Yeah, exactly, That's
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: what I'm saying, Like did she learn anything from revisiting
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: these dudes from the past? And then I think her
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: explanation kind of like reframes it. She's not just like
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: cutting herself off from love, like she's doing this out
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: of love for Nightly, Okay, she's like protecting him. But
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: I was like, there's got to be another way for
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: him to know that you care about him, Like why,
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: I guess The question is like why does she need
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: to tell him, Like why couldn't she just say like,
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: oh I got fired yeah, or oh I quit like
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: I guess, or oh they're making budget cuts and like,
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: I have other opportunities, so it only felt like the
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: right choice right for me to leave. She doesn't have
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: to say it was me or you. She could just
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: say I have this other opportunity to do good. But
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: then he would have talked her out of it. Maybe
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: or try to no, I get it's home and like
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: bursts into tears. Sana Valu're like she does, She's not
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: turning away from her feelings for him. And then he's like,
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: I love you and I love that Sam when she
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: goes home to her sister and she just like breaks down.
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: The sister scenes are the best part of this show
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: for me. And the dad's like what's going on and
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: like he just approaches them like so gently. Me as
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: a parent, I'd be like, what's happening. Yeah, you know,
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: I have no chill whatsoever. So good scene, so Glenn proposed,
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: is it's a nice family moment. It's full circle. Yes,
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: Chelsea's like fully supportive, and Chelsea even says like I'm
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: so glad you get your second love, and Nannabel's like
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: do you believe that? And she's like I do for you,
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: and she realizes like how her feelings about love have
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: shaped out. Annabel feels about love and blah blah blah.
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: That's all nice and that's kind of like a balm
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: to all of them. And Cherry's fully welcomed into the
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: family and another clue they get she's like, leave be
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: my bridesmaids, and Chelsea says, only if we can wear
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: dresses that match your ring. And you know that Annabelle's
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: dress from earlier is the same color as the ring.
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: You know, it's like reveal, reveal, reveal, great cut to
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: the wedding. The photographer's massion is like, I need to
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: take pictures. It's the bride ready. You know. They're kind
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: of dragging me. It's too far from me. I'm like,
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: come on, And she goes running through the castle and
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: pounds on the door and then Chelsea opens the door
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: and she's in the bridesmaids dress. Yes, it's like, okay, shucking, Yeah.
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: I did want to read an email before we talk
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: about this, Okay, Amanda says, I know you don't do
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: a digit see that episode for these but what was
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: with them carrying that wedding gown all around the castle?
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: Why wasn't Sherry in the bridal suite or at least
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: bring her up there when it was time to get dressed.
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: I was worried they were going to trip on the
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: stairs and me too. Honestly, that didn't bother me. What
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: bothered me is like, you have this high end fashion photographer,
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: which one they never oh, never mind. Yes, they did
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: explain why he's there, not in this episode, but in
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: previous Okay, got it. I guess why does it need
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: to be him? Why does it need to be him
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: other than they made this exchange and she probably broke
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: some deal like you're gonna shoot whatever anyway, But they're
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: taking pictures and they're doing like jazz hands, and like
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: nobody's doing like jazz hands, and in there, I think
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: the point is, like Sherry's super cheesy, remember, because he
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: has that sign says will you marry me? Sherry be
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: and Chelse Annabel's like she matches his cheese, Like Glenn
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: and Sherry are just silly, goofy guys. Yeah, but do
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: you think this fashion photographer? I did think that the
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: photographs were very giving, like stand together and take a
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: picture and not like I know what I'm doing and
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: how to frame a photo. Yeah, I mean this is
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: my own beef sure shirt with it all. She in
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: her voiceover is like it's been a year and I'm
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: still longing for Nightly basically yeah, basically, yeah. Every time
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: she closes my eyes, He's still the only one. You're
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: still the only one I see. You're still the one.
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: There's still the one. Two. In the press episodes for
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: episode six, it's a lot of wedding shots. Wedding, wedding, wedding, wedding, wedding, wedding, wedding, wedding, wedding,
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: Chelsea's wedding, wedding, Nope, nope, nope, all this Sherry wedding.
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: So many wedding shots. And there's a photo of Nightly's
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: talking in the background, Chelsea and Nightley talking at the wedding. Okay, Oh,
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: there's a photo of Nightly's like hand on her face.
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: Hold on, I'm gonna pull it up. I'm gonna pull
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: it up. What's he holding a ring? Oh? Maybe she
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: sent him the voice note, because there's a photo of
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: him like coming down the stairs holding the phone, like
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: maybe he's listening to it something like, So any photos
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: of them together. If you know anything about romance, we
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: got to have a happily ever after. It's required in
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: a romance novel. So you know, we knew where we
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: were headed, but we got to see this whole wedding unfold.
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: Seems like it because there are zillion totally oh yeah, yeah,
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: oh yeah, oh yeah. He's looking on the phone guys,
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: hand on the face, hairtuck, oh, handholding. I mean, I
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: have a feeling. I think I know how this ends.
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: But yeah, me too. That phone shot did it for me? Yeah?
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: Did you see in our I think it was the
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: Facebook group so I was like, that must have been
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: a really long voice memo she sent him, right. I
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: think it was listener Wayne, who was like, He's like,
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: I'd be scrolling through the transcript totally me too. And
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: the person who watches TikTok's on two time speed. I
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: destroyed my attention span. Okay, want to I want to
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: ask you a question. Do you think there's anything to
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: the fact that Nightly's sister is playing club soccer and
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: Annabelle is like this former soccer star, Like is there
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: a connection to be made? There? Is there some sort
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: of like season two like, what's like, what's gonna happen
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: with Annabell here? Because I feel like that's such an
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: open thread. Yeah, I agree, And I'm sure something could
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: happen in the finale with her, like maybe Chelsea sneakily
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: invites like Declan to come. Maybe they've been in contact
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: all this time, Maybe we see her meet somebody. But
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: I think if we don't get some sort of something
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: happening with Annabell beyond this, do you really believe there's
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: a second chance? I love that feels like a very
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: open thread for me. I kind of hope there is
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: a season two. I think there's a lot we could
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: do with it. I think so too. There's different point
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: of views. We could definitely dig deeper into Annabell. We
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: can definitely dig deeper into Nightly's story. Uh huh, Well,
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: maybe season two is Annabelle and like Knightley and Chelsea
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: like exist as background characters. Yeah, they don't have to
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: carry the show. Yeah, yeah, yeah, because also she resides
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: in Spain, right well maybe, I mean we don't know
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: yet what happens if she's gonna be like, well maybe
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: maybe Nightly's sister gets recruited to some Spain soccer academy. Okay, Okay,
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: I don't know. We don't know what's gonna happen. I've
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: enjoyed the series. I think it's really good. A little predictable,
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: but I think it's it's hitting all the right notes.
