Well, this is a big moment
in the expansion of Rosebud Motel Group.

Today we cut the ribbon
on a new Rosebud Motel.

Can I take my blindfold off now?

Oh, not yet, honey.
We gotta wait for Johnny's big reveal.

Okay.

Let's get to it. Let's cut the ribbon.

-Roland.
-Okay.

Wanna hold that?
Stevie, you wanna hold this-- hold it up?

-Mr. Rose, do we really need to do this?
-Yeah, yes, yes, we do.

Moira, scissors.

Hey, how about a drumroll, Stevie?

I'd rather not.

Okay, you know what?
I'm just gonna take off the blindfold.

[laughs] Okay. Moira, scissors, please.

Okay, what are these?
These won't cut a ribbon.

They're cuticle shears, John.

You expected hedge clippers
to be drawn from my purse?

Okay, all right,
hold it up and hold it taut, please.

I'm sorry, "taut"? [laughs]
What is that, old English?

How 'bout I hold it tight?

Mr. Rose, just cut the ribbon.

-Pull it, pull it.
-Okay.

-Here we go. Okay.
-Cut it.

How long is this gonna take, Johnny?
Should I cancel my New Year's plans?

Okay, you know what?
Just drop the ribbon, drop it.

-All right.
-Yay!

[laughs] Okay, step one now complete.
Onto step two.

-And what would that entail?
-Deep-cleaning the rooms.

Well, I'd like to be put to use.
What's step three?

You know, I think I need to lie down.
That blindfold was quite taut.

[theme music playing]

-[Ray] That's me in front of a volcano.
-Yeah.

In the jungle. In outer space.

That's another volcano.

As maid of honor,
I pick the second volcano.

Okay, you are hanging onto that job
by a thread.

Ray, do you have anything
that'll make us look

a little less like the kind of couple
that gets married at a theme park?

Oh, I think what David is trying to say
is maybe something a little simpler.

Yeah, I'm looking for understated,
Annie Leibovitz for Vanity Fair.

I want us to look like
two very rich people

that have just woken up
after fainting on a dusty old couch.

Mmm. I don't know
if you've thought about wedding favors,

but might I suggest mouse pads?

[chuckles] I got thousands downstairs.

Let me get you some samples.

Wonderful.

Okay, as maid of honor, I have to say--

You don't have to say anything.

Anyway, I thought it would be festive
if I got you a little pre-wedding gift.

-[Patrick] What?
-[David] Mm-hmm.

I am sending you to get pampered
before this afternoon's shoot.

Do I get pampered?

No, you get to drive him to the spa
where he will indulge

in a relaxing five-minute scalp massage
followed by some light sun.

That'll also give me enough time
to art-direct this situation

'cause clearly Ray wouldn't know
my aesthetic if it ran him over.

I'm sorry, did you say "sun"?

Yeah, like a-- a kiss on the cheeks,
uh, um, a gentle spray.

Okay, well, thanks for the gift, David,

-but, no, thank you.
-I'll take it.

Actually sounds less like a gift
and more like a chore.

-Okay, I am doing you a favor.
-Oh.

Okay? Stevie, take our photo, please,
for a moment. Fast, please.

[clicks]

-Ooh, uh...
-Okay.

Yeah, see, side by side,
my Mediterranean complexion

makes you look a little anemic,
so the spray will just even it out.

-[door closes]
-Okay, it's not that... bad.

Okay, well, the lighting
is not good, so, I mean--

-Hmm.
-Just as an example,

here is a sample mouse pad that Jocelyn
made for the computer lab at school.

[chuckles] The "Under the Sea" theme
is only available during winter months.

[knocking on door]

Oh, my God, Ted, what are you doing here?

I wanted to surprise you.

-Oh, my God, okay, babe, hi.
-Hi, hi.

-Mm.
-Mm.

Hi, uh, sorry there were limited options
at the airport gift shop.

"Have a great flight." So sweet.

Mm! You're here in the flesh.

Mm, I missed you so much.

Um, who's babysitting the turtles?

Well, I am a part of a team of 30,
so they let me take the long weekend off.

The long weekend? It's Sunday. It's over.

Yeah, I know. I was supposed
to get here yesterday morning,

but my first connecting flight was delayed

and then I got food poisoning
from some bad milk

on my second connecting flight.

Ew, Ted, they made you drink milk
on the airplane?

No, I actually ordered it,
and in my defense,

they were serving cookies, so...

Okay, so, um,
how long do we actually have, then?

Just today.

Oh, my God. Okay.

Then enough about the milk thing

even though I have, like,
50 more questions about it.

Yeah, yeah, no need to milk it.

Ooh, we definitely
don't have time for that.

No, I just-- I just wanna be with you
and catch up and talk.

Okay, so my parents are out
and David's at the store

so maybe we can just, like,
be with each other right now,

and then later, if we feel like it,
we can talk.

-Yeah, but I--
-You're not still sick, are you?

-No, I just--
-Okay.

[moaning]

Yeah, okay, we can do this first.

Boy, look at this place,
untouched from the '60s.

These motels are a gold mine, Roland.
All they need is a little dusting.

And bleach, lots of bleach.

You know, there are boutique hotels

that would kill
for this level of authenticity.

I'm thinking of turning this place
into the presidential suite

and charging a premium for it.

I'm reminded, John, of Shanghai

and our party secretary suite
with its own aquarium.

I'd lay in our claw-foot tub
watching the orcas.

-Joc...
-And we're back.

You know that staycation
we've been talking about?

Why don't we just do that here?

Well, Roland, that-- that sounds good,
but, uh, that just can't happen.

As a new business owner,

it's dangerous to treat your assets
as personal possessions.

[Moira] That's my John.

At Rose Video,
he made me purchase the Blu-ray

of my gritty feminist police drama,
Miranda Rights.

I rented that three times.

Miranda is so sassy
when she went undercover

for that wet T-shirt contest.

Hey, the sooner we get this place
guest-ready,

the sooner we can start making a profit.

Yeah. Well, that sounds good to me.

Bob's been charging us a fortune
to babysit.

[Jocelyn] Speaking of which,
we should get going.

Bob has his first
cry therapy session tonight.

Okay.

Bye.

[door closes]

Well, if that isn't teamwork,
I don't know what is.

Ah, I know.
The room looks pretty good, huh?

No, I'm-- I'm talking about the way
you and I threw them off the fragrance

so that we could keep this suite
to ourselves.

No, that's not what I was doing, Moira.

No, it's very important at this stage
to keep the bar set very high for Roland.

-John...
-Now, I just told them

they couldn't stay here.

Oh, be careful, John,
lest you suffer vertigo

from the dizzying heights
of your moral ground.

[stomps]

[duster thuds]

[Ray] Are you sure
this is what you want, David?

This looks like someone put a tarp
over their living room furniture.

Yeah, I'm going for an English estate
in the off-season.

Okay, it's just, uh,
do you really want these photos to say,

"My relationship is an old estate
in the off-season"?

Why don't I show you
the county fair backdrop?

I think a Ferris wheel would look so cute
on a mouse pad. [chuckles]

I don't think we're gonna do
the mouse pads.

-[door shuts]
-[groans]

-Oh, hi.
-Hi.

Why do you look...

Hot? Oh, I got a spray tan.

Patrick gave you his appointment,
didn't he?

No, I just put mine on your credit card.

Okay, well, that's fraud
and you're a criminal,

so where even is my life partner?

He's coming.

I think he spent
maybe a second too long in there.

[door opens and shuts]

[clears throat]

-[David gasps]
-[stifles laughter]

Are you happy now, David?
Is this what you wanted?

-You look--
-I look like a cheese puff.

Okay, you said it, not me.

Um, what, uh-- what ha-- what happened?

Did they use the Allez Vous bronzer
on you?

I don't know, David.
They asked me what I wanted.

I told them just to give me
what you usually get.

Well, why would you do that?

I'm practically Sicilian.
You don't need that much sun.

I don't know how it works, David.

Well, couldn't find it.

Oh, hi, Patrick.
I almost didn't recognize you.

You look like one of those people
who has that skin condition

from eating one too many carrots.

-Okay.
-You know what?

I can't be in photos like this,
so I'm going to, uh-- I'm gonna go.

No, no, no, no, we've got this all set up.

-You'll barely notice it.
-Oh.

And that's what Photoshop's for,
just to lighten it up a bit.

Yes, just have fun with it.

-Yes, have fun.
-Okay, Patrick.

I'm gonna have to ask you
to smile a little more.

I think this is probably
as good as it's gonna get right now, Ray.

-Okay, okay, okay.
-[camera clicking]

Okay, here's what I'm thinking.

We do that, like,
three to four more times,

and then we go on a romantic walk
to your house

and we, like, hang out there
for a little bit.

Yeah, um, that plan sounds
really active, Alexis.

Mm-hmm.

But, uh, my mom's staying
at my place and, uh,

I'd rather not walk in on her
and her Zumba instructor.

Don't wanna have to zoom back here.

Is everything okay?

It's okay to admit
that I tuckered you out.

[chuckles] No, it's-- it's not that.

Okay, then what is it?

I just thought that it was important
that we have this conversation in person.

You're starting to sound
like me trying to end things

with B-Rok on the Backstreet Boys
Millennium Tour.

Ted, you're not, like,
trying to break up with me, are you?

No, I'm not breaking up with you.

Oh, okay, thank God. So what is it?

I got offered a job.

You say that like it's a bad thing.
Is it a bad job?

No, it's a great job.

They wanna make me
a permanent part of the research team

in the Galápagos.

Okay, define permanent.

It's a three-year contract.

Okay, that's a long time.

Yeah, I just-- I keep waiting for things
to get easier for us.

So, um, what are you gonna tell them?

I-- I don't know.

I mean, I had three plane rides
to think about it

and I wanted to have a solution
by the time I got here,

but seeing you... [sighs]

I don't wanna lose this.

Okay, so what do we-- what do we do?
Do I, like, move to the Galápagos?

Or I move back here.

And turn down your dream job.

[sighs] Okay, this just got,
like, very heavy.

I feel like I'm sweating.
I also feel very cold.

Yeah. I-- I took the weekend
because I wanted us to have

a few days to talk about it, but then--

Yeah, no, the milk, I know.

Um, Ted, I think I'm gonna need a minute.

You know that I can't make big decisions
under pressure.

That's how I ended up
with a pixie cut at prom.

There has to be a way through this.

I liked this a whole lot more
before we started talking.

-[water running]
-[Moira screams]

Moira, what's going on in there?

Oh! It's my hands, John.
It's the water. It's freezing cold.

Well, then move your hands.

How will I know if it's getting warmer
if I'm not touching it?

Well, Moira, you've got the cold tap on.
You've gotta balance it with the hot.

-[shuts off water]
-Oh.

Well, I'm sorry
I'm not an alchemist, John,

and it's not like there's a "his" sink
for when the "hers" is inoperable.

Okay, Moira.

Excuse me while I try to pass through.

Oh, John, these doorframes!

It's like trying to force oneself
through the eye of a needle.

[John sighs]

I think, uh, the point's been made, Moira.

Oh, so you're willing to reconsider
a room upgrade?

-Upgrade?
-Mm-hmm.

Oh, I thought you were talking about
a romantic weekend.

We start with a weekend and go from there.

You don't believe
we deserve this perquisite, John?

At least until we secure
a way out of here.

Moira, yeah, the room is bigger,
it might even be nicer,

but haven't we managed to make do here
in this room over the past few years?

Yes, in the same way crustaceans
are known to make do in old soda cans.

And what about the kids?
We're just going to abandon them here?

They're practically middle-aged

and they're not denying
their selves betterment.

Why should we?

[sighs] All right.

Maybe it is good business practice
to sample the product before selling.

Well, whatever you think is best,
Mr. Rose.

I've packed your weekender.
It's in the car.

See, these are good.
We could use any of these.

David, those are just ones
where you look good.

Well, only took me nine showers
to still look like this.

See, this is good.
This is how you were supposed to look.

Oh! Well, then, if that's all it took,
should we just head back to Ray's?

I don't know. Do you think he'd have time?

No, I was being very, very sarcastic.

-Oh.
-Are there any usable shots?

[both] Um...

None of the ones
where you can see your face or hands...

-There's a few I think that...
-...but we're still looking.

...might be good.

Cool, so I guess my relatives
will just have to imagine

what the person I'm marrying looks like
and how happy I am to be with him, and--

Okay, fine. Ooh.

Maybe we just open up the guest list a bit

and invite a few more
of your distant relatives,

or I do have head shots
from my pageant days

that I could mail out to them.

David, can we just agree
to stop making this wedding

a bigger deal than it needs to be?

-We are not these people.
-Okay.

Well, this is a teachable moment
for all of us.

You know, look at his tan.
Looks great, the lighting's right.

Maybe Stevie should take
a few candid shots

and see what happens.

You're insane.

-David... no.
-No, I'm not.

We are looking for photos and here we are.

-Oh, my God.
-[camera clicks]

Okay, well, the tan does look good.

Ooh, see?

Okay, fine, like, maybe a couple more,
but then that's it.

Okay, fine, all right.

[camera clicks]

-What is your hand--
-Oh, that's weird.

-Huh?
-[camera clicks]

-[bell over door jingles]
-[music plays]

Hey, Alexis, I haven't seen you
running in a while.

Thanks, Twy.

Yeah, I just needed to get out
and clear my head.

-Is everything okay?
-I don't know.

Okay, do you think a smoothie might help?

[sighs] No, I think
I'll just take a smoothie.

Okay, I'll just be right over there
if you need me.

[man] Oh, hi.

-Ted.
-Um... Alexis.

I know. Without sounding too forward,

I've seen you around... [nervous laugh]
and, uh, you know, I have to say,

I think that you are the most
beautiful girl this town's ever seen.

Alexis?

Alexis, here's your smoothie.

[sighs]

Twy, do you ever have those days
where you wonder

why things can't just be easier?

Why, what's going on?

Ted got a job.

-Another one?
-No, the same one.

He got offered the same job
he already has?

No, same job,
they just want him to stay longer.

Like, forever.

Oh.

Yeah, so it's like, what now? [chuckles]

Do I leave everything behind
and move to some random island

to be with the love of my life?

'Cause I did that with Harry Styles
in England.

It was, like, too rainy.

That is hard.

I feel like now's the point
where you normally have

some surprisingly helpful advice.

I know you, Alexis,
and you always make the right decision.

Mm.

Eventually.

Thanks, Twy.

[crickets chirp]

[slow jazz tune plays]

There he is, my ginchy hotelier.

How does it feel to be president
in the presidential suite?

[Bostonian accent] Well, uh,
let me say this about that, Moira.

Uh, if not now, when? If not us, who?

Are you all right, John?

[normal accent] Oh, it's my JFK.
Just playing into the theme.

Best to leave the voice work to me
when setting a mood.

[clink]

[slurping]

Yeah, so I must admit, sweetheart,

I could get used to this.

I'm going to run a bath, John.

Well, if I close my eyes I can almost hear
the orcas calling to be fed, or freed.

-Oh!
-Jocelyn! Roland!

Hi, Johnny. Moira.

-[door shuts]
-What's going on here?

Uh, nothing, nothing.

No, we were, uh, just, uh...

[turns music off]

...doing a final polish on the, uh--
on the room.

Uh-huh.

Oh, I guess martinis work
better than wax, huh? [chuckles]

Johnny, wasn't it you who said

it was dangerous to treat your assets
like personal possessions?

And what, may I ask,
are you two doing back here?

-I told you we would get caught, Roly.
-[sighs]

Well... if you must know,

Jocelyn and I had been renting out
our extra bedroom

to, uh, help pay for this place.

Yeah, and so we thought
there's nobody here,

it might be nice to have a weekend
where a total stranger

wasn't making themselves at home
in my kitchen.

Okay, look, Roland, I may have been
a bit too much of a stickler earlier.

Ah, no, no, it's fine, Johnny,
we'll just, uh--

we'll just sleep in the truck
with the baby.

Or you know what,
you could give us the keys to your place.

It would be like wife swap,
except we wouldn't be swapping wives,

we'd be swapping mattresses.

-Okay, you can take the room.
-All right. That's not gonna happen.

-Oh, thanks, you guys!
-Okay. Great. Thank you.

I've never stayed in a presidential suite.

[Bostonian accent] Enjoy it, honey.

This one, uh, reminds me a lot
of the, uh, suites in, uh, Cuba

before Castro took over.

-That's not-- that's not JFK.
-Yes, it's JFK, he's always--

-Ask not what your country can do for you.
-Who said that?

-The man's from Boston.
-[Moira] John!

He didn't say--

-No, he's not, he's from upstate New York.
-Coming, Moira.

And FDR said that.

[jazz music plays]

[bell jingles over door]

What is all this?

Sit.

Did you close down the whole café?

More like I politely but forcefully
asked everyone to leave.

So the set menu for tonight

is mozzarella sticks, four-cheese lasagna
and a blueberry cheesecake for dessert.

Huh.

That's a lot of dairy.

All of your cheat day favorites.

Also, I may have forgotten
about the whole milk situation.

Well, I appreciate the gesture, Alexis.

So I feel like
there's an elephant in the room

and I skipped the class that taught us
how to care for large mammals

and I don't know how to get it to leave.

You can't move back here, Ted.

You've just been offered
the job of your dreams

and there's no turning back now.

And just think
of all those gross little flies

that are still out there
for you to discover.

Actually, those flies
are an invaluable piece of the puzzle

in the study of evolution,

but, yes, we do have our fingers crossed
that there are still a few more out there.

What about you? What are you gonna do?

This might come as a shock to you, Ted,
but I can't move to the Galápagos.

I wouldn't let you even if you tried.

You're building something special here,
Alexis,

and you deserve to see where it takes you.

I'm so proud of you.

I'm so proud of you.

I'd like to think
that we helped each other get here.

I know that we did.

And when you get on that plane tomorrow...

I want you to know how grateful I am
to have met you.

I don't think I'm ever gonna meet
another woman

who made me feel the way that you do.

I'm sure there'll be, like...

some other woman...

somewhere.

[sighs]

Can't say that we didn't try.

I love you, Ted.

I love you too.
