• 0:11
  Speaker 1: Welcome to Girls Gone Hallmark, a Hallmark review podcast. I'm
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: Megan and I'm a longtime Hallmark fan.
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: I'm Wendy.
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: I'm a former Hallmark cater. On today's episode, we're discussing
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: Paris is Always a Good Idea Episode four Nightly, which
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: is now streaming on Hallmark plus Whinny. Before we jump
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: into this episode, I do have a couple of emails
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: that I'd like to discuss. Yes, we don't have enough
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: for a full I'm disappointed in you guys a full
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: mail bag episode, and someone was asking, like, where is it,
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: and Brittany, We're going to get to your emails, but
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: you are really bringing it. And you know, all I
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: got to say is the rest of our listeners just
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: unfortunately are not, with the exception of Jen, who says,
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: I just listen to the recap of episode three of
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: Paris is Always a Good Idea. I was so looking
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: forward to hearing a ten minute discussion of the sexiest
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: line I think I have ever heard in a Hallmark
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: production quote, I can't imagine wanting anything else in the
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: world when you're wearing that dress. Yeah, that was great
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: up to this point. I did enjoy the crush slash pining.
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: From his point of view, I love it when guys
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: fall first and have some longing. But I didn't really
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: like him as a love interest. I thought it was
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: too obvious and wish that she would end up with
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: one of her past lovers.
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: Lol. But that line completely.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: Changed my opinion, and now I'm on board with Nightly.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: I don't know how they can even go back to
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: being coworkers after he said something like that. Yeah, so
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: a lot of HR violations there for sure. Actually in
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: the book there's a discussion because I guess they have
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: like a nasty.
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: HR person network. Oh really little HR thing.
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: Now Britney. Britney is one of our very smart listeners.
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: I love it.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: She brings a connection that I think she thinks we're
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: smarter than we are because.
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: You and I.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, she sent two very long emails. I'm not reading
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: the entire thing, but she has a theory. My major
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: impression is how the feel of Chelsea and her fictional
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: coworker's relationship reminds me very strongly of Jane Austen's Emma
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: and mister Knightley. Had you noticed, I'm so sorry, Brittany,
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: but I had not the scene where he comes upon
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: her in the Parisian nightclub smacks of the ball in Emma.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: When mister Knightley realizes he's attracted to Emma. There's him
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: being struck by her beauty, seeing her as he never
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: did before, and them getting physically close enough to touch.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: Emma has a sister named Isabella, and the sister in
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: Paris is always a good idea is named Annabel. They
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: have an aged father in the picture and a mother
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: who has passed away. Emma becomes industrious and basically runs
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: her own life and is looking to expand in helping
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: benefit other people's lives. Chelsea is running her own life
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: and also wants to help people. Except in the show
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: they have a workplace rivalry and she experiences the trauma
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: from my mother's passing. No wait, that last bit is
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: also true and Emma, Well, we're going to need author
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: Jen McKinley to weigh in here. Find it out if
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: Emma was an inspiration to this original the story she wrote, Yeah.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: She goes on to make a lot of other connections
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: to Emma. I Unfortunately they don't land for me because
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: I don't don't I've seen the movie Emma pretty sure.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: Clueless is also a remake of the movie Emma. If
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: you've noticed this.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: Let us know.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: Keep your smart emails coming, Brittany, your.
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: Smart emails come in. Are you ready to talk? Episode?
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, departure in titles. Indeed, you know we had Paris revisited,
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: Colin revisited, Sebastian revisited, and now we just got Nightly.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: The synopsis is Chelsea and Knightley are surprised to find
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: themselves growing closer during their time together in Paris as
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: they're a big donor meeting finally approaches. We do open
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: in the bridle. But were you shocked by the context
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: of her voice recordings?
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: Oh?
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, because boom spoiler alert. Right off the bat, we
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: realize she's recording voice memos four Nightly indeed, so finally
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: we have the answer of who she's talking to. But
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: now it's almost like I want to go back and
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: watch the three episodes so I can listen to those
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: voice memos again to kind of put the pieces together,
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: because the ending of this particular episode really threw me
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: for a loop. Well, it really does, because the beginning
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: hints at what the end is going to be, because
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: she says what happens next is hard to talk about,
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: but I promised you the whole truth. And then she says,
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: you're perhaps my biggest what if of them all, leaving
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: us to believe that their story is a little bit unfinished.
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: At this point, let's talk about Chelsea Knightly. Did you
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: love the Jason Knightley TikTok of him dancing and that's
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: how Aiden finds him?
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: I did.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: I thought that was really funny and contemporary. Hmm, you
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: and I are TikTok connoissewers. I wonder if that lands
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: for other people who who are watching this movie who
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: are not on TikTok. Maybe not, but I think it
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: does a nice job of painting him as a good
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: time guy. Oh yeah, yeah, I loved it.
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: Of course.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: I love that he walks in and she's basically talking
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: shit about him too. Yes, well, she's not talking shit
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: about him. She's just been annoyed at AID and her
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: boss for not consulting her and doesn't see the need
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: for hiring this guy, and et cetera, et cetera.
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: Her feathers are ruffled.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and she basically says like pretty face, no substance. Yeah,
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: And then he asks her out, and then the voiceover
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: she talks about how she wanted to say yes, but
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: she's got to keep it tight and keep it right,
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: so she flines.
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: She says, it's not my scene, and he says, I
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: didn't even tell you where we were gonna go. Yeah, liked.
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: I liked all that.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: I mean it definitely that's the tone of how they
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: became kind of competitive. I'm reluctant to call them enemies. Hmmm,
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: yeah at this point because he just had a contentious relationship.
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: Uh huh.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: But later on they have a conversation about it that
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: I really enjoy the same. When we're back kind of
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: in the in Paris, I was going to say present day,
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: but present day is the bridal sweet. But when we're
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: back telling furthering the Nightly and Chelsea story, they're back
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: at their dinner. She's still in her red dress. They
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: still having really nice moments. She's like, should order more fries,
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: and then Matt fries magically appear, you know, back to
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: your like he sees her. He anticipates her knees in
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: little ways too. Did you I want to ask you,
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: I can't remember if you watched Sex in the City
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: or not. But these two her walking in this red
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: dress and they're walking in the streets of Paris at night.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: Is it giving you sex and the city vibes?
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: Oh?
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: You know when Carrie went to Paris. I didn't make
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: that connection. But yeah, it's very elevated.
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: It's just nice. It's just nice.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: I mean they shot this in Paris, right, I mean god,
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: which just was stunning.
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: It really was. She looks incredible. Look, I just love it.
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: I love it.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: I'm watching this on my computer too, because as was like,
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: we're watching a screener, it seemsier to take notes. Yes, exactly.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: I can't wait till this actually drops because I think
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: I might want to watch it on my big screen. Yeah,
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: just to visually take it all in because it's especially
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: this episode. Well, and he also at this point asks
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: have you heard from Marcos? And at this point she
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: has not, and we find out that things really didn't
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: end well with her and Marcos. She ghosted him when
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: she found out about her mom. She took off and
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: then she never turn to any of his phone calls.
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: I like that nightly is I don't want to say invested,
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: but interested in knowing? Like, Okay, Well, what's up with.
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: The third guy?
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: Like in the of course, of course, and then they
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: almost kiss, and then they get a message that the
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: Applene meeting is happening.
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: Work is happening. Of course.
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: I was like, oh, the dreaded, Like, you know the
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: text that you have to look at right away?
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: I don't.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: I don't know anybody who would pause a kiss to
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: look at their phone. Yeah, unless the sound was enough
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: to like jolt them back to reality right of the moment.
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: But yeah, of course the text can wait. We get
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: a quick scene between Chelsea and Annabel talking on his phone,
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: and Chelsea's telling Annabel about the almost kiss and she's like,
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: I don't know if I misread the situation or whatever,
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: but Annabel asks, she says, like you wanted to be kissed, right, Yeah,
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: chessa kind of changes the subject and goes on to
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: talk about Annabel's day with Ducklan. But we will get
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: there in a minute. We will get there in a minute.
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: When they head to their meeting with Sophie and Applene
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: and they arrive and the reception this is super cold
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: to Chelsea and she's like, there's two of you and
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: it's like throwing them off their game, and Sophie even
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: was like, kind of what are you doing here?
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: And there's this hole back and forth, but.
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: Sophie really is like speaking only to Jason, and Jason
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: is so good at it.
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: He like really puts all the praise and Chelsea all
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: the credit.
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's kind of crazy because at one point, I'm like,
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: what is Sophie's beef with Chelsea? Why doesn't she want
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: Chelsea involved in this? And then this is where we
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: learn that she wants control, right, Yeah, But honestly, even
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: later when Sophie does explain herself more, is it that
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: she I think she'll be able to get one over
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: on Jason, Like she knows if Chelsea isn't involved, then
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: maybe he's like easier because Sophie wants to control how
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: her money is being spent. And later on she's like,
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: you know, I can tell. She's like, I see how
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: in charge you are.
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: I get that. That's why I can't work with you
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: because I want to be in charge.
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: But oh, but even Jason here and later, you know,
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: Chelsea says like, look, that's impossible, and Jason is not.
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: Like, well maybe for the right money.
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: Ja agrees with her at both points and So I
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: just don't fully understand why Sophie wants Chelsea out of
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: the picture, because no one's going to allow Sophie to
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: have this level of oversight that she wants. That's really interesting,
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: and I wonder if it's a question we're supposed to
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: just overlook here. But you're right, because they could could
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: could have something been cut from the original story or
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: the script. But is Sophie threatened by Chelsea's involvement and
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: therefore thinks like she can push Nightly over more with her? Yeah, control,
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Yeah, it's after this meeting
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: that we get more information via a phone call between
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: Aiden and Chelsea about the state of the acc and
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: that they really need this donation because things are kind
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: of in like a dire situation, and Chelsea this phone
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: call is like Chelsea is asking like what the what
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: the hell?
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: Like why did Sophie.
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: Only want want to meet with Nightly? And like she's
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: trying to get more information. I mean, Aidia doesn't really
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: give a lot of information other than like you need
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: to tie up this, you need to like confirm this
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: donation tonight, Like this needs to happen or we're in trouble. Right, Yeah,
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: and she kind of presses him like how much trouble
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: are we in? Like what are we? What are what's
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: at stake here? And he's like those are all future questions,
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: but we need this money, right, it's a it's a
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: big freaking deal, and I couldn't it's so of it all,
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: Like it does seem clear that Sophie asked for her
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: to be taken off. And the more we dig into this,
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: the less I understand what her Yeah, because Aiden's not
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: gonna let her have oversight. Jason's not gonna let her
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: have oversight. Maybe she's just like Chelsea's a bad bitch
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: and I'm never gonna get what I want with her. Yeah,
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: the way perhaps they go to this dinner and it's
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: they had assumed it's at a restaurant. It's at Sophie's
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: home with her husband. There's a famous chef cooking four
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: of them. Jason's all charm like, he's lovely. I mean
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: it is.
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: They are the.
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: Perfect team because like she's I don't want to say
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: she's the brains, but she's like kind of like the
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: nuts and bolts. Honey, He's the charm, right, Yeah, but
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: he does come through like he's clearly done his research,
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: Like he talks a lot about their.
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: Business and what she's doing, and you know, earlier in
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: the meeting.
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: He's like I get that you want control, but look,
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: you guys, yours and a million different pots, like let
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: us do what we do.
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: Bet.
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: I almost hated that scene a little bit because I
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: felt like he was like man explaining her back to
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: her about like, oh, you're so busy and you do
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: all these things and let us take care of it.
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, but this dinner we learn that Sophie
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: wants control, right, and Chelsea's like, look, that's not going
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: to happen. I'm sorry, Like it's not happening, and basically
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: calls the meeting. Like at their dinner, she's like, we're
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: out of here, pat sorry, And I was a little
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: surprised at Sophie was like, no, please come sit down.
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: Then we get a little bit of backstory here, and
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: I got to tell you, somebody who has dealt with cancer,
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: you're I mean, you've dealt with cancer in your family too,
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: and as in mine, I was quite moved by Yeah, yeah,
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: doesn't it uh huh. So we learned, like Chelsea's mom
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: about Chelsea, more about Chelsea's mom and how that affected Chelsea,
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: and then we learn some story on Sophie that Sophie
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: herself had been diagnosed with breast cancer and felt very
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: out of control yes, during that time, and that part
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: really lands for me as a person who had cancer myself, Like, yes,
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: you feel very out of control.
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: There's these big questions of like why, why me?
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: What could I have done different? And no, no, no, no,
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: like everything is so out of control, and so I
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: get I loved that Sophie was like, things fell out
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: of control. That's why I want to control. Plus I
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: other plus I saw she was saying, like, you know,
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: I had access to all these resources, and I have
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: money and healthcare and blah blah blah, and a lot
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: of women don't. And that's that's where she wants to
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: see her money go to. Basically, Yeah, And I love
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: Chelsea's line control is an illusion, yes. And I also
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: love that she said I'm here because I need my
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: mom's memory to mean something and this is my legacy,
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: and Sophie's like, I want my legacy to be more
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: than makeup.
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: I mean, I think these two women really see each
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: other here. It's a very powerful moment. I understand both
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: of their motivations. And then it cuts to them in
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: the cab, obviously, and they're facetiming with Aiden, and the
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: wildest thing is Jason's like, Chelsea told them all about
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: her mom getting sick, and Aiden's like, I didn't know
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: about her mom, And I think that's wild. Yeah, Aiden
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: doesn't know her whole motivation for doing this job, right,
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: But they go celebrate, and I loved when they're on.
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: You know, they had talked earlier in the day.
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: They were like, we'll celebrate tonight, like they're being very flirty,
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: and Jason's like, don't worry, we'll still celebrate after dinner.
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: And so they have their celebration and they go to
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: the Eiffel Tower, which is definitely more Chelsea's thing than Jason.
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: I was so moved in this sea.
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: Honestly, I can't remember who decided to go to the
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: Eiffel Tower because they're playing over This song is called
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: What's Wrong.
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: This Year's Love by David Green.
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's one of the best songs ever.
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: It's such a good song for this moment, and I
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: love this song. As soon as it starts playing, I
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: was like, oh my god, I know. Do you see
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: my notes? One of the best songs ever to open
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: this scene under the Eiffel Tower.
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: All caps this song, OMG, I are selling this chemistry,
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: the butterflies, the way they look at each other in
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: the elevator.
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: We learn a little later Jason it's like a little
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: nervous about the heights, but.
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: Like they are, I can feel that feeling that like
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: first date, second date, falling for each other.
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, being a new person feeling.
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: And then they get to the top. She realizes he's
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: afraid of heights, and he says, distract me.
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: I know, I'm like Lanan Lannan.
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: She talks about French fries instead, which.
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: Is actually nice.
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: They know, like they banter back and forth, they question
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: and they get to know each other. You know, it
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: is silly like favorite food siblings. First concert. I love
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: that their answers were eminem and Lincoln part I know,
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: I know, and then more clever writing where he's like, well,
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: like your favorite artists, my palms are getting steady. Yes,
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: if you guys, I'm imagining that the people watching the
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: show get the reference here in an m song.
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: Once again, they almost kiss and Jason stops it again.
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: So they go back down and he's like, look, I
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: saw that Marcos called you and she was like, I
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: didn't even think about listening to that message. Yeah. She's like,
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: I'm I am falling. He had made a reference earlier
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: and she kind of blew him off. Yeah, and she's like,
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: I am falling. And then they have this beautiful kiss
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: framed by the Eiffel Tower and then I love that.
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: We cut to them in the elevator and they're making
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: out in the elevator.
• 17:40
  Speaker 4: Core I was like steamy Hallmark and he was like
• 17:46
  Speaker 4: the implication making out in the elevator going up to
• 17:48
  Speaker 4: their rooms the Bang town, right, Yes, And then they.
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: Get up to the top and he's like, wait, I'm
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: not done kissing you. He starts to close the door
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: and she's like Annabel and it's it's a nice way
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: again for them to sell the sexiness of the moment
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: to hint at something further, but nothing further happens on screen.
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: Yes, and you know, he says I'll see you in
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: the moment. Oh damn, did we do we talk about
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: the hair talk?
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: Oh? Okay, we need to rewind because after their meeting
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: with Sophie. Before the dinner, she and Jason have a
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: conversation and he is telling her that he met her
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: before she met him. Yes, that's right, and he talks
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: about how he was in the hospital his sister had
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: hurt herself and.
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: She comes blowing in and she's getting stuff done. She's
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: a boss b and he was just like.
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: Her passion for what she was doing made him want
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: to come work for the ACC. She's the reason he
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: has his job. And he's telling her all of this
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: and she's like, you're saying such nice neat things and
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: I've been so mean and he says, I like you mean, and.
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: He does it in that voice yes, that I just
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: love Christian Grave voice.
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: Yes, And then he says, don't get soft, because you're
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: falling for me, and she tries to brush him off
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: and he was like that blush, isn't lying Martin Like
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: he touches her cheek, totally does the hairtgue, damn, and
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: he says whispers, that's okay, because I think I'm falling
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: for you too.
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so good.
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: I mean the lead up to them actually, like kissing
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: and making up is so well done in this show.
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: Oh my god, it's just like layered upon, like the
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: anticipation of it.
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: Baby.
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: I don't know for this viewer, I think it's well done.
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: This was an incredible episode top to bottom. And then
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: Annabel gives Chelsea the sou work. Dude, when you talk
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: about Annamel and Deckland, but close the loop on Chelsea
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: and Nightly.
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: First, we'll come back to her. Yeah.
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: Next morning, Chelsea and Nightley meet up and they're like, like,
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: you know there. She immediately kisses him and they're walking
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: and they're holding hands, but he's being weird and he says,
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: I want you to go see Marcos, Like I don't
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: want you to have any questions.
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, And she's like I don't need to do that,
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: and he was like I need you to do that. Yeah.
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: He wants to know for sure that she knows for sure, Yeah,
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: which I do understand. I understand because she was, you know,
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: she's like, I need to check these off now. She's
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: distracted by this new love. But what happens when the
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: newness wears off is she can be like, wait a minute,
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: what about this one guy, Marcos. He's worried that that's
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: what's gonna happen. He's oh, he says I'm not falling.
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: I've fallen. I'm flat on my face. Yeah, it doesn't
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: He doesn't want any lingering doubts. She doesn't want to
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: do it, and he says, go.
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: To him and come home to me.
• 20:56
  Speaker 4: Oooo.
• 20:59
  Speaker 3: So good.
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: It's so good.
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: And then they have one final kiss and we come
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: back to our voiceover and she says, maybe I shouldn't
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: have listened to you, and maybe we would be together
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: right now. Cut to Annabel and Nightly sharing a cab
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: to the airport, and Annabel's like, I can't believe you
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: sent her to be with Marcos and he was like,
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: wait a minute. The billionaire Marcos pan too a castle.
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: Do you remember me saying the bridal suite looks like
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: it's in a castle.
• 21:34
  Speaker 4: I do.
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: I had not watched ahead, folks, and the castle grounds
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: are being set up for a wedding. Cut to Chelsea
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: in her bridal suite, stepping out on the balcony in
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: her robe, looking out at Marcos at the castle at
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: a wedding, and me screaming no and writing in my
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: notes it was a freaking castle.
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: I had to rewind this scene so many times because
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: I was like, wait, no, wait, no, wait, no, this
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: is not what happens in the book, by the way.
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: Oh really, okay, so this makes me nervous here because
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: first of all, Marco is fine, like foine or lowercase
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: fine like wine.
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: He's just he looks a.
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: Little bit more mature, a little like hello, hello, hello, hello.
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: And now we are led to believe that.
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: Is she marrying this man.
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: Maybe maybe we both ended up where we're meant to be.
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: Chelsea sa no, no, no, okay, I need to know, like,
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: is there a wedding that happens? And then Nightly comes
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: in and like, stop their wedding is there?
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: I don't know what happens.
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: I didn't finish reading the book, so but we have
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: departed from the book. Oh my goodness, gracious, though, you know,
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: I think part of me wanted to be like, okay, well,
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: the two other dudes her that she revisited ended up
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: being buffoons, and so like, nothing is ever as good
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: as we believe, these things that we make in our minds, right,
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: But now here we're presented with this third guy that
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: maybe he is fantastic in every way. Maybe Nightly isn't
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: the guy, maybe, but just a distraction from whose actual
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: end game we don't.
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: Know Marcos and we know Nightly and Nightley is bringing it.
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: It's so hard.
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, this was such a good episode. I'd like to
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: talk about annabellin but let's talk Annabell. Annabell and Declan.
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: You know, they have a cute little date. They're bantering.
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: He's been playing a game called Her, but he's also applying.
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: To law school.
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: And we get a little bit more about like her
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: not really knowing like how to look at her life
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: since her soccer and right, and then they're playing a
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: game while she's watching a soccer match on her phone
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: and he's like, yo, come to find out she watches
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: every match of Real Madrid because she was engaged to
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: their superstar player. Right, and he's like, oh, you're still
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: in love with him. It's complicated. I'm like, well, is
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: she still in love with him? Fast forward to her
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: being with Chelsea. This is a very emotional scene. Actually,
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: I thought she's like, you know, Declan found out about
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: Rylan and assume she's still in love with him, and
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: Chelsea's kind of like are you when she's like, but
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: I'm really not And I believe her in this moment,
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: but she says she's afraid she won't love someone the
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: way she loved him, And then they go through this
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: whole thing and she's like, you know, like you always said,
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: like like mom and Dad were each other's one true love,
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: you don't get another one. And then you kind of
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: see Chelsea feeling like, oh, cramp, Yeah, like if I
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: believe that about Dad, do I have to believe that
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: about annabel.
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: Right or herself?
• 25:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 25:15
  Speaker 4: Yes?
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: And then she says, maybe Ryland wasn't your true love,
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: and Annabelle says he was and I ruined it.
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: You know, we don't really know how that ended. You know,
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: Is it that annabel sabotaged it? She got injured, she
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: couldn't have this soccer life anymore, So did she sabotage
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: her relationship?
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: Maybe?
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: I mean, I really don't know how that would work
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: because you have two athletes on like two different Let's
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: say annabel plays professional soccer. It's unclear to me if
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: she was or not seem like it because she was like,
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: you know, my career and my relationship all ended at
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: the same time.
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: She's older in the movie than she appears like in
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: the series.
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: Right. I just if you're on two professional teams. Yeah,
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: you're not together, right, So if her career ended, why
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: couldn't she just like then go a wag for h Yeah, yeah,
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: you know. I don't know.
• 26:08
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't know.
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: Unless this guy's like, I don't I want to a
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: woman who plays professional sports too, I don't.
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: That doesn't make any sense to me.
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: Like she's like, we're not we're not operating on the
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: same level anymore, so I don't deserve you. Perhaps she
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: could have totally sabotaged it, y yeah, yeah, but she's
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: she's still working through some stuff because she's got to
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: watch every one of his games. I love how this
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: scene ends, though, she's like, it's.
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: Not really what you wore on your date. Uh yeah.
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: They she give her work meeting because she's still in
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: her uniform. It was back to the sister shit.
• 26:42
  Speaker 4: I love it.
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: She's loved to look good and red. But yeah, I
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: thought it was funny.
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: I like the the callback to Chelsea's work wardrobe, and
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: I like that the next morning when she goes to
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: meet Nightly, like she's in this off the shoulder top.
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: She's a little little softer right, Yeah, I'm like, where'd
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: she get that?
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: Shirt from Where would she get that shirt from? Great?
