Hi. Hi, hi. Sorry I'm late.

But guess what?

What?

I nailed my bedtime.

That's great.

I got you some free party hydration.

Oh, thank you.

This is the best news ever.

Yeah, look, Sid, about that.

I actually can't do this.

Any of this.

No, it's okay. It's final year, and you're under a lot of pressure, and I'm

under a lot of pressure, so we can take a break and talk about it in a few days,

maybe.

We can go to that Mexican restaurant with a really great ceviche.

Sid, no, we won't.

There's no more bricks.

I've tried.

Truly, I've tried. But when I see my future, I see med school, I see

I just don't see you.

So maybe I should stop wasting our time and move on.

So we're not going to the party together?

I'm just going to meet up with the boys.

But happy New Year's, Sid.

Seriously, congrats on that time.

I don't think we should be doing this.

You need to sit down?

Yeah, would you like to sit down?

I should sit down.

Hello,

you're Sydney, that track star.

That's me.

I made for court.

You made for court. You think about that? A proper gift. Thank you.

Hey, you okay?

Yeah, I'm fine.

My boyfriend got me.

Number four.

I'm enjoying that club because Nick here just got stood up. Lauren just had the

goalposts changed.

Maybe we should just call ourselves the Broken Heart Club. Well, okay, maybe we

are right now, but the one we're meant to be with has got to be out there

somewhere, right?

So we just have to be the smart, strong women that we are to start making some

great choices.

Like, no more into you, Ab, because you will not find your soulmate on that.

I'd have to agree with that.

I was looking, but done and done.

That means I'm dumping Peter.

No. We're you two love each other.

If that's true, then I'd give him another chance and talk it out.

Yeah, but remind him of what you want.

Definitely. And then maybe I should talk to Byron and give him another shot. No.

No, no, no.

Sorry, four dumps is not a charm.

Ladies, look at us.

We're solving each other's romantic crises right now.

So we are not a broken heart club.

We're the love club.

I like it.

And I really wasn't having any fun until now.

Oh.

Okay.

Let's think about it.

To always have each other's backs and hearts in this.

Okay? To the love club.

To the love bus.

To the love bus.

Yeah, just make sure the list of road closures for the half marathon are up on

the website for the end of the day.

Yeah.

Thanks.

Oh, and has Claire written this week's takeout review yet?

Okay.

Uh, no.

No, we did Indian food last month.

You know what? I did hear about this new spring roll truck, so I can just check

it out for lunch and write the piece.

Yeah.

Okay.

No, no trouble at all. You know what? I'm writing it down right now, and I'm

going to go to lunch. Yeah.

Thank you.

All right. Talk later.

Bye.

Ooh, thank you.

Sid?

Oh.

Um, Siren.

Hey. What are you doing here?

I thought you took residency on the East Coast.

Not that I'm following you or anything.

Yeah, well, I'm actually here in a conference.

Yeah. But since the half marathon is next week, I just figured, you know, why

not stay, bang it out?

I am a superhero now, so, you know, gotta keep in shape.

Right.

Doctor.

Surgeon.

Saver of lives.

You signed up for the half, no?

Uh, actually, no. Since I blew out my ankle, I haven't really been running

much. But it's okay, because I'm super busy with my blog. It's actually the

city's go -to for everything riding now.

Yeah. It's good for you. Yeah.

Except it's, uh, it's too bad you're not doing the run.

Could be like old times.

You and I on the track.

Kept me in pretty good shape back then.

Speaking of, uh, I got to actually get a workout at the hotel.

But it was great seeing you today.

Yeah. See you.

Okay. I can totally pull this off. I can pull it off.

Just 21K. Just 21K.

Done.

Oh.

21K.

Oh, my God. 21. I did it. You haven't done that since college.

Okay, where's the unregister button?

I can do it.

I can do it.

Doesn't have to be about him.

For a good cause.

In fact...

Hi, ladies. It's me, Sid.

I'm just sitting here reminiscing about that New Year's you all convinced me not

to give Byron another chance.

And, well, I may need to hear your words of wisdom again because I'm spinning

just a little.

So if you're not too busy with your fabulous life, maybe you could hop on a

quick video call because I could really use one of your pep talks.

XO, dead.

You are the wife of the most beautiful woman around.

Beautiful? Lauren, you are effortlessly flawless.

Still got those rose -colored glasses on, huh, Nick?

Yes, and you are fab as ever, Tara.

So, what's going on?

Well, I ran into Byron.

Not on purpose.

Turns out he is in town for a conference.

And? How was it?

Fine.

Except you called us, so...

So, I might have entered a half marathon that he's running in.

Which isn't really too bad, is it? No.

Well, maybe it is.

And just like that, he's got you back on the yo -yo.

What are you talking about?

That whole last year of college, you were constantly like, should I call him?

Shouldn't I give him another chance? I mean, if it wasn't for us, you would

taken Drunk Dialing to a whole nother level.

You're right.

What am I doing?

You're hanging with us.

Because you need a distraction until he leaves. But it's over Valentine's Day.

Hey, Peter's involved at work, so we'll be lucky if we get to celebrate.

Yeah, and every day is Valentine's Day with Josh, so... Ugh.

Wait, you're coming?

We will be your Valentine, sweetheart.

Fire in.

Honestly,

I didn't even know which house was yours. I just followed my nose.

Seriously, what are you cooking?

Shrimp toast and lettuce wraps. I hope there's pizza.

Yes,

there is pizza. Well, tandoori flatbread, but yes. Okay, make

home. Slippers are over there.

Wow, you really don't throw anything out.

No. Oh, including the cup from our New Year's.

Remember?

Well, if you need any help organizing, I can help.

Okay, Hearth and Home's new designer of the month comes in here and thinks it's

a bit of a disaster.

No, I love your place. It's just, you know, eclectic chic.

We're definitely not a disaster in the kitchen.

Hello. Hello.

I am so sorry. I totally forgot I was volunteering at the

art college and got on the road too late. Is all that for us? It is.

And I brought all the wine because Josh got it for us.

Okay, and now I have man and bee. Thank you very much.

Well, it's all thanks to you three. I mean, if it hadn't been for the three of

you, I would still be with Warren, who found his one, by the way. Oh, good for

Warren. Yeah. Okay, Tara.

Both still happily single?

Yep. Good thing, because I just booked a singing gig on a cruise ship.

Oh. I love below deck.

Well, we'll see.

Okay. What I want to know is this.

How'd you end up running this half marathon with Byron? Um, it's also for

charity.

Oh, okay, so you're in marathon shape?

Maybe.

You know, it's just because Peter did one of those, and he was training so

I saw him even less than I do now. So, hey, are you guys okay?

Primo, primo.

Listen, this is not about me, okay? I want to know who Sid is really running

this race for.

Me? Okay.

Why don't you have some wine and see if you can really sell that?

I still don't get how you're hung up on that guy.

I'm not hung up on him. Okay, are you dating?

A little.

Any sort of night?

Have a few good night kisses.

I knew it. Hey, you know what? You guys were so supportive of me when I was hung

up on finding my old pen pal.

And that worked out great. I love Josh.

So is it really so bad if it's just a little hung up on Byron?

Yeah, because he makes you a... I know, a yo -yo, I get it. But it's not just

him. I mean, look at this place. I can't decide if I should keep this or throw

it out on my blog.

You know, should I keep doing it or should I try something new? And Byron,

should I or shouldn't I have given him one more chance?

I just can't help but think that maybe this is the last time I can find out if

we're meant to be together or not.

Well, in that case...

Cheers to rocking that marathon.

Cheers.

Oh,

my gosh.

Are you okay?

Here.

Hi, Drake. How far did you go?

Not nearly far enough.

Oh, my gosh. My claws are burning.

Laura was right.

There's no way I'll be conditioned in time.

And then I'm just going to end up looking like a bigger fool than I

Hi. Name?

Sydney, wait.

I actually came to withdraw.

I tried to do it online, but it wouldn't let me, so... Well, we don't want to

make it easy for you to quit.

Hey there, Cora.

So you are signing up for the hat?

Oh, um... You better be careful with this one.

She leaves everyone in the dust.

The one that got away from us all.

Byron!

Yeah, be right there.

That's my hospital group.

We're doing the run together.

I should probably go catch up with them.

But, uh, it was great.

Seeing the dust away.

What's that, more memorabilia?

Uh, actually, I decided to do it.

Well, you know me. I love a good challenge.

Wait, isn't that fire with that super fit chick?

She's not that fit.

Uh, wait, you ran into him again? With Miss Fit?

No, and this is not about her, okay?

I mean, you should have heard him. He was seriously flirting with me.

So, I'm sorry, I can't ignore it.

Tomorrow, I start training.

Okay.

I gotta say, this place is pretty quiet, even for a cocktail hour.

Well, I am starving, and this menu has all of my favorite morning after food.

Oh, my God. They have my comfort food, mac and cheese.

So, I have to review this place for my blog, and I'm going to try the signature

burger. Can you order that for me? Yeah. I have to run.

Body aid caught up to me.

All right.

What are we going to do? And don't tell me that she needs to do this, because

Byron has played with her hard enough already.

I got it.

Why don't we get her a trainer that we pay for to deter her from all this? Like

a marathon assassin?

Kind of. We thought a bad idea.

No, except she is going to know that you're lying the second you start doing

your telltale act then.

Excuse me. I can keep it together.

Ladies, I have a better idea.

We get her a super hot trainer like this guy.

How is that for a distraction?

I mean, the girl's got to be thirsty. You know what I'm saying.

Thank you.

Order!

Oh, come on.

Thank you.

Yeah, I mean, look at those biceps. What?

So, I gotta say...

I'm a bit skeptical about this place because that kitchen looks like a war

with only one person in battle.

Oh, well, speaking of battle, we have decided to help you get marathon ready

hiring you the best trainer in town.

Mm -hmm.

Really?

Yeah. And we're going to pump you up.

They're in.

I like it.

All right, is he here? I don't see him.

All right.

Ready to meet this miracle trainer.

Yo, Mike.

Catch you after my run.

Hey, does that guy look familiar?

Ladies, which one of you is looking to slay 21K?

Me. It's me.

It's her.

It's her.

Sydney, right? Mm -hmm. No, I'm Mike.

Here to get you in running shape.

Why don't we do a quick assessment, see what you've got.

Okay.

All right.

All right, Sydney.

I'll meet you at your place, 4 p .m. We'll start clocking in, okay?

Okay. Thanks, Mike.

I'll be ready.

Okay. I'll see you there. All right.

Thanks.

Hey.

Excuse me. Sorry.

Hey. How was that?

Probably more walking than running. A monster.

Well, at least you showed up.

Thanks. Probably doesn't help me burn off all that mac and cheese I ate from

leftovers last night.

Didn't really sell it.

Another slow night, huh?

Lowered my run.

Well, you know, I wish I could help you out more at that restaurant, man.

If I could, I would.

Yeah, yeah, I know.

You still coming by later? Just grab a light beer and some leftovers?

You got it, brother.

Oh, right on. Put it there.

Oh, gotcha.

Wait,

you, you all right?

Uh -uh.

Yeah, I really like that one. Yeah, right?

Oh. Oh.

You look good. I didn't know eyeshadow was essential for running. Look good,

feel good, right?

Absolutely.

Oh, that's Mike.

Hi there.

Are you Sydney?

Yeah.

I'm Theo.

Actually, we just did like a little dance, I think, right outside the gym.

Oh, okay.

Can I help you?

My buddy Mike, he's your trainer. He tweaked his back, didn't want to leave

hanging. Figured I could use a running buddy and thought that this would be

a win -win.

Hi.

Hi.

I think he's cute. That's not the plan.

Oh, you got a great strike.

I used to run track in college.

You? Uh, no.

No, Mike just wants me to run to help keep me in shape because he knows how

I love food. Yeah.

Speaking of which, I didn't have any lunch.

Do you mind if I grab a roll?

Uh, yeah, I guess.

Yeah? Yeah. I mean, you could just run on the spot.

Do you want one?

No, I'm good.

Okay.

How you doing?

Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, let me grab one of your specials there.

Yeah, look at that.

Oh, thank you, sir.

All right, I'm ready. Let's go.

That can't be good for your digestion.

I can just do some stretches while you eat.

No, it's fine. I can multitask.

I'm sure you can.

I think it might need a little more salt.

Really? I actually think they're pretty perfect. I have one the other day.

Spices don't try to compete with each other.

Super fresh, super crunchy.

Wow, super cool vernacular.

You sound like a food critic.

I review a lot of Bride and Spouse on my blog. Really?

You've been to Aberdeen? Oh, yeah. I was there the other night. Had their

signature burger. Yeah?

It was super simple.

Definitely not buzzworthy.

Well,

maybe some people like simplicity.

I don't know who would. Have you seen some of these burgers out there right

They are slaying it.

Look at that.

Not simple.

Not simple.

Sexy. Yeah.

Okay.

You know, a burger could be sexy, but... Sexy.

No, thanks. Hello.

I'm back, everybody.

How was your running, buddy?

He made a food truck stop in the middle of our run.

So, guess I'll be looking for a new trainer.

Well, actually, we were doing that while you were gone, and no one's left.

The charity's got everybody busy.

Tara's at the park right now, checking out the classes, but she's not having

luck.

So, maybe this is a sign that you shouldn't be doing this?

She's right. It could be a sign.

You know what's a sign?

A running emoji and smiley face from Myron.

Maybe running with my Springville buddy isn't such a bad idea. I'm going to go

take a shower.

You better come up with a plan B.

Yeah, so she gave your place a bad review.

Bad? She totally dissed it.

Well, she must not have tried your burger.

That's exactly what she tried. She said it wasn't buzzworthy.

Last thing this place needs right now is a bad review.

Yeah, well, I think that yours is still the best post -college pub burger ever.

Just, my back's a little tweaked, so...

Don't worry, I still got your back. All right, I'll still be her running buddy.

Okay, just make sure that we'll talk about anything except food.

Hey, hey, hi.

Sorry, I, uh, just had a really late night.

What, did you skip breakfast again?

No, no, just, um, some noodles from Aberdeen.

It's delicious.

Oh, we're probably basic.

No, no, it's really good, actually.

And, I mean, how would you know? I thought you said you only had the

No, I actually had what my friends had, mac and cheese.

It's homey, but safe.

And the pizza with cheese and pepperoni?

Predictable.

That's comfort food.

No, I get that, but you still have to wow a restaurant crowd, and those

wouldn't do it. Now, my mom has a dando noodle dish, and that would definitely

wow them.

Oh, I mean, you know, maybe you think that. You've got to support your mom.

good. No, trust me, it's authentic.

Better than anything on that menu.

Anything on the menu. Yep.

Okay.

Prove it.

What? Yeah, why don't you come to my kitchen and, you know, wow me with your

noodle dish.

Wait.

That's your... That was you in the kitchen?

Yeah. Hi.

Owner -operator of Aberdeen. Nice to meet you.

I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to offend you. No, none taken.

No.

But, you know, maybe you should just, like I said, come to the kitchen.

Wow me or buzz me with your noodle dish unless it's all talk. Oh, it's not talk.

Really?

Okay, well, prove it.

Fine. Fine. Brace you there.

What?

What?

Okay,

you won that one.

Wait, you're not open during lunch?

I mean, I was, but now I just... Open for dinner.

All right.

So, now, what exactly is it that you need for this show -stopping Dan Dan

dish of yours?

I think I might just look in your fridge and grab what I need.

Okay. Knock yourself out.

Got all this, everything down there.

Jeff Green onion?

Yes, ma 'am. Excuse me.

So, restaurant.

That's a pretty big undertaking.

What was your drive?

Other than loving food, of course.

Well, I guess I just always had this knack to take whatever I found in the

fridge and turn it into something edible. It made me pretty popular around

flat house.

Wow.

That is a skill.

Oh, thank you.

I mean, I guess I also acquired it when I was a kid.

Just always had to make my own dinner. My parents worked a lot.

Thankfully, my grandma Aberdeen taught me how to use the stove, so I could

how to cook.

So this restaurant, that's her?

Yes, ma 'am.

Yeah, and then after that, I hit college, went to culinary school, and

am. Wow.

Well, thank you, Grandma Aberdeen.

You know it. Hey, you mind if I drop this?

Yeah, sure.

So, how exactly did you get into this blog space?

I had to find my way in Pivot after my track dreams literally crashed at

National.

Oh, so you were good.

It was great.

But my ankle wasn't after, so... Oh, well, hey.

I mean, I'm impressed that you still pivoted, even with a bad ankle.

Yeah. It's not my dream job, but I get to eat for it, so... And you are not the

only one who loves food.

Hey, ladies.

Plan B.

Let's see what Byron's been up to.

Of course, the social media profile's public.

Yeah, it all seems to just be about his work at the hospital, though.

She's been following him.

Here we go.

Careful, it's hot.

Okay.

Mmm. Oh, that's... It's not bad.

Not bad.

It's really good.

Thanks. Wow. Just like your grandmother, my mom taught me well.

Well, then my kudos to Mom.

She passed away a while ago.

So, why'd you close for lunch?

I mean, burgers and mac and cheese, it's all lunch food.

Yeah, it is.

I don't know, I guess I'm just trying to cut corners.

Business hasn't quite been what it could be these days, and I don't know, this

place was my dream, so I'm just trying to keep it floating.

This is really good.

I know.

Boring.

Boring.

How was your run?

Well, it wasn't much of one. Turns out my running buddy owns the restaurant

we all went to.

Oh, the one with the morning after food?

Yep.

I'm going to close

my computer.

You've been following him.

What are you talking about?

Byron, we know you set up alerts to see whenever he posts.

Were you looking at a... profile of course we have but that's not the point

we're just worried about you well it's not like i'm stalking him or anything

just curious i think you're way past curious i can't be the first person

ever looked at their old boyfriend's social media page okay i'm gonna go

You know, you should really sign up for that charity run. It would be an amazing

promo for your restaurant. And you could donate Valentine's Day dinners to the

top three finishers, and I could write about you on my blog as a donor. Really?

I thought my restaurant wasn't buzzworthy enough for you.

It could be, with a few changes.

I'm happy to go over the menu with you.

I don't know.

Oh, come on. I promise. Whatever changes I make, I'll keep it simple.

Hey, Sid.

Oh.

Byron, hey.

What are you doing here other than running?

Oh, just wrapping up a 10K warm -up.

Oh, wow. That's so funny. We were just finishing up our 10K warm -up and

stretching for the next one.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, we were. Mm -hmm.

Oh, maybe we should just race like we used to.

Sure. Maybe I won't let you win this time.

Were you forfeited for me?

Of course.

But you were the only one.

Maybe you should come train with the hospital crew tonight.

There's this gym, Burning Fitness.

They host a boot camp.

Yeah, I know that gym.

Great.

See you there.

You bet.

You sure you want to do that boot camp? I mean, Mike runs it. It's pretty

intense. Of course.

Trust me, one little boot camp is not going to crush this.

No. I'll see you at the restaurant later to go over the menu.

I don't know.

Oh, come on. It's Sunday. You're closed. There's no better time.

I'll just go before the boot camp.

Okay.

I'll see you then. I'll see you then.

No, sweetie, you won't get sick from eating pizza every day.

Yeah, well, Bridget's mom won't even let her eat an Oreo.

Oh, there he is. Okay, baby, I gotta go. I'll call you soon, okay?

Love you.

Really?

Oh, and there's the little miss Fitness.

I think I think. Are they a couple?

They should be. Yeah.

Hey, sis.

Hey. What are you guys up to?

Just driving around, checking out Brighton Blog's vets.

Okay. Well, I was wondering if I can get all of your help at the boot camp

today, because I need to know if Byron's checking me out.

Boot camp?

No, I don't think it's okay. Yeah, of course we will. We'll be there.

You guys are the best. Okay, I'm going to go help Theo revamp his menu, and

I'll meet you at the Burnin' Fitness.

Thanks. Bye.

She thought we weren't encouraging her.

We're not.

Okay, what we're doing is seeing if Byron and Marla are a thing, because Sid

have some issues, but she's not a homewrecker.

So you and this Byron fella, you seem to have some ongoing history?

Uh, yeah, we dated on and off through college.

So, are you on or off?

Uh, so, this burger.

What about it?

Let's change it up.

Change it up? Yeah. No.

No way. Okay, now listen, that is my post -college pub specialty, okay? It

my signature back then. It's all my signature now.

Except you're not in college anymore.

Okay, fine.

What about the chicken wings, then? Yeah, we can change those up. You know

We could add some of my signature spice blend.

Call it Theo's.

That's good.

Thank you.

Except I didn't taste it the other night, so we need to find a way to

the flavors and not mask it in bland cheese. I get it. I get it.

I get it.

What if we take your chicken wing and rolled it into something else?

What if we made it a roll?

I could just take the meat right off the bone, keep the spices, and just turn it

into, like, a wing roll.

I like it, but with a lot more spice.

Deal.

That and something else to complement it.

Okay, so like something sweet to offset the spicy.

Oh, like a spicy honey. Oh, that would be so good. But just like a drizzle, we

could add some red chili. We really want to bring a little heat here. Some

sizzle to the drizzle.

I like that sizzle.

Okay, so we're doing this? Oh, we're doing this.

We're doing this.

Okay,

moment of

truth.

Some sizzle with the drizzle.

All right.

Mmm.

Mm -hmm. That's good.

It's like nothing I've ever tasted, but I like it.

You see, that's what the people will want to come in for.

Okay. Mm -hmm.

I get it.

Sure you didn't miss your calling?

Oh, I don't know.

Maybe.

Oh, my gosh.

The boot camp, I completely forgot.

Hey, do you mind if I join you?

Really? Yeah, you know what? Maybe I will sign up for that run. Just get me

my new wing role out there.

Let's do it. Come. Okay.

Maybe they really should be together.

Okay, that shows me that she is clearly into him, but pirates are never real.

I think he's just into himself.

Hi. Sorry, sorry we're late, but we were busy making the best spring roll ever.

And who would have thought, right? A simple chicken wing? With your spice?

Well, and the honey?

The capra with the sizzle. All right, everyone, take your places. It's go

Okay, let's go.

All right, line it up, line it up. Let's go, let's go.

Now, even though my back feels quick, it doesn't mean you get flat.

It just means that I got all eyes on you now. So get ready to really feel the

burn. Let's go. Hit it.

Air Force, let's go.

One, two, one, two, one, two, one, two.

Hey, we were talking to Byron earlier.

How do you know Byron?

My friend stood over there.

She and him were attending college.

Really?

Lucky you, though.

Seems like you scooped him up.

Actually, Byron and I are on a bit of a break right now.

You don't say.

Nick, are you looking at me?

Uh, yeah. No. Yeah. No. Yeah. No. Yeah. No. Yeah. No. Uh, no. We're moving into

high knees now.

Watch your form.

We're going to start at an easy pace. Ready? Three, two, one. Hit it.

Mom, Marla, look at you go.

Sid, you're on fire, as always.

I haven't seen her like this since college.

There it is. There it is. Keep going. Keep pushing. Higher, higher, higher.

Feel it. Feel it.

Yes.

Hey, you all right?

It's all right, everyone.

I'm a doctor.

How's it feel when I do this?

There she is.

The girl that never gives up.

You know what?

Um, yeah. So maybe we should pack it in?

Good idea.

Don't wait to scoop him up.

Okay. Okay.

You good?

Yeah. No. Oh.

You better? Yeah. Thank you.

All right. Almost there.

Yep. Keep going.

Great.

Oh. Oh.

Oh. Oh.

Here we go. Thanks.

Wow, look at this team.

Some pills here.

I need some pills. They should pretty much numb anything.

Oh. Here you go.

All right.

I'm done.

Beautiful.

What?

Um, well, okay. We're going to make dinner because...

Hungry, obviously.

Okay. Yeah, stop. Stop. Thank you.

Let's get this shoe off.

Oh, I know, I know.

Wow, you really went for it out there, huh?

I guess I'm not the track star anymore.

Yeah. It must have been hard to have to give up on your dream, huh?

Well, I was never one to give up my dream.

Even when my ankle caved, I literally dragged myself to the finish line.

I just didn't know that it would be the last time.

Listen, as your official running buddy, I'm going to make sure you cross that

finish line.

Okay.

Oops.

What's happening?

I think the pills are starting to work.

Yeah, just as it was finally starting to happen.

What?

Clancy.

I'm feeling really fluffy.

Fluffy?

You know what?

Hey, why don't we put this up?

Okay, nice and easy on the other one.

Listen,

tomorrow morning, instead of going out for a run, how about stay here and rest?

Yeah, good idea.

Thank you, Theo.

Oh, I would put your spice on everything.

Morning.

Good morning.

Oh, those pills.

I don't even remember falling asleep out here.

It was Theo.

It was so sweet. He tucked you in and everything.

How's your ankle feeling?

Better.

Did you see how Dr.

Byron just...

Sleeped in yesterday?

They're on a break.

Byron and Marla.

So, I mean, clearly he hasn't changed.

Well... Yeah, but what if... No, what if he just can't come in? Because maybe

he's not quite over us. I mean, I haven't met anyone since him either.

Nick?

Um... Oh, I mean, I guess, but Theo... You did it!

Okay, I should get ready. Wow.

I had to review a restaurant on the east side.

Do you guys want to come with me?

Well, actually, we were planning a surprise.

To... To make this place fabuloso.

We are? Si, we are.

Si, yeah.

So, you know what? Why don't you check Theo instead?

Probably better that he check for the competitors, right?

Uh... Okay.

Promise me you don't throw anything out.

Promise.

Let's go.

All right.

Nice work.

See?

Fabuloso.

Okay, so those portions were a joke.

Example of what not to do.

Starve your customers.

Yeah, exactly. See, so when people come to the Aberdeen, they will leave feeling

fed. Unlike me right now, who's still starving.

I have an idea. Come.

Hi. Can we have one funnel cake with the works, please? And two forks.

Some serious comfort food.

Just the smell of it brings me back to when my mom and I used to go to the

fair. We'd go on all the rides. She'd come with me, no matter how crazy they

were. And then at the end of the day, we'd get one of these.

Thank you.

Oh, thank you.

Thank you.

Wow.

So when did your mom tell you?

The year I went off to college.

That's tough.

Yeah. Any time would have been tough.

Okay, you are seriously eating all the strawberry sauce off of that.

No.

Yeah. It's so good.

I'm sorry. You know, I need to be a gentleman.

I shouldn't be so rude. I shouldn't be so rude. Here.

Here you go.

Here you are.

Here you go. You want some more?

Is that enough?

Mm -hmm. Mm -hmm.

You know...

I've never shared one of these with anyone but my mom.

Wow.

You two are really carbon out.

It's not even a carb, actually. It's more like a memory.

Yeah. Like a slice of life.

Right? Yep. We're living our best life right now. Yep.

That's who we are.

To the best of life.

Oh. Hey.

We gotta go.

Carb away.

Yeah.

Hmm.

Well, I do need to get back to the restaurant.

We are debuting the role tonight, so I'll see you tomorrow?

Yeah, of course.

Okay.

Please finish all that. I don't want to be greedy.

Okay.

I'll see you. Bye.

Oh. I don't think anyone needs this many Allen keys.

You know, I read somewhere that when someone's going through a lot, they hold

to things.

Kind of to fill the void.

Uh -oh.

She has a Byron box.

Oh.

What's a Byron box?

It's a box where you put all of your memories of someone, and in this case...

It's a Byron box.

So, should we open it?

Yeah, of course.

Wow.

She looks so happy.

What if a break that was between?

I've got one of these for Josh.

I'm sure you've got one for Peter, Laura.

Actually, no, I don't. But I do have keepsakes for Steph.

I don't know about boxes, but nobody needs to keep a dirty napkin.

Hey, guys.

Noah.

Oh, hey.

Hey. Ooh, looks good in here.

Yeah, we wanted to give everything a home.

So, how was your day with Theo?

It was nice. We went to a couple places, and then we got funnel cake, and then

ran into Byron.

And Marla.

Well, it's great that you were able to give Theo a taste of the town.

Yeah, a bit.

I just don't know how he's going to revamp the entire menu in that kitchen.

I mean, he barely has enough time to just get out his own dishes.

Well, maybe you could help him. Heck, that's a good idea.

He could be his kitchen and running buddy.

We did have a lot of fun making those spring rolls.

Oh.

That because you and Theo did it together?

No.

It's because we both love food.

And I'm a very good cook, as you know.

Very true.

Have I ever told you guys about how I hooked up with my first boyfriend?

No. Was it an epic meet -cute from a rom -com?

No, it wasn't whatever that is.

I was in 8th grade math.

And I was doing really bad. He was my tutor, and math was boring. He was

I hated it. Then we discovered we connected on one thing.

Squeeze cheese.

Wait, I'm sorry.

Squeeze cheese?

That's almost as good as Nick's hand up a turkey's butt.

And it ended like Nick and Warren with me dumping him.

But at the time, you know, it was... Wow, you get my point?

No.

I do.

Yeah.

Without the squeezed cheese, you never would have noticed him.

All right. Well, I see where you're going with this, but I'm not going to

up with Theo just because we both love food.

And why not?

Is it because of the Byron box?

The what?

How does she know where my Byron box is?

No, that's old stuff. I don't even look at that anymore.

Okay, if that's the case, maybe it's time to let it go.

Well All right, I'm gonna help you But it's not gonna be because I want to hook

up with him Because I know what it's like you have to give up on your dream

Damn now I want squeeze cheese

Not

sexy

Hey. You're not... You know what? Just hold on. Hold on.

Yeah.

That was pathetic.

Hey.

Hey.

What were you doing here?

I actually came to give you a hand.

Maybe help you prep for the dinner rush.

Really? You don't have anything better to do than collect kitchen grease?

Nope.

Okay.

But I figured you're helping me get to the finish line, so if I can help you

hang on to this place, then I'd like to try.

All right. Well, I suppose you could cube the tomatoes. Okay. Peel the

I need two more burgers on the grill from underneath.

Yeah.

Oh, knives are right there.

There you go.

Check this out.

Your roles are getting a huge following.

In fact, I just tagged it on my page.

What do you mean, our roles?

Hmm?

I mean, I meant it when I said you missed your calling.

Okay, look, tonight in that kitchen, you knew exactly what to do. No hesitation.

That's true.

Thank you.

No, it's not like I went to culinary school or anything.

Full disclosure, I didn't finish.

Yeah, I thought I knew everything.

Guess I was wrong.

No, I just think maybe you're hanging on to what you've always known.

Maybe you could let go a little.

Not as easy as it sounds, huh?

Definitely isn't.

Well, I have been making some hard choices and I have decided to pull the

signature burger off the menu.

I know just for now until I can figure out how to make it more sexy.

You know, I have no idea how I'm going to do that.

I think you've got it in you.

Oh, yeah?

Yeah.

You just need a source of inspiration.

Yeah.

Well, I should head home.

Okay. Are we still running tomorrow morning? Because I don't want to put any

extra stress on your ankle.

Why don't I just go for a light one and you sleep in?

I'm not sleeping in if you're not sleeping in.

No way. Look, you got me signed up for this charity race, so I am counting the

payment.

All right, Keener, but pre -race date, it is on.

You know it.

Good night, Theo.

Good night, Sydney.

Morning. Oh, hey.

Hitting it hard?

Actually, I'm just doing a light one so I don't aggravate my ankle.

Right.

So where's your running buddy?

What's his name?

Theo. He was late working at the restaurant, Aberdeen.

Never heard of it.

It's really great. Well, it's more of a work in progress, but he's very

passionate about it.

Oh, in fact, we did the thing where we...

stuffed a spicy chicken into a spring roll with a honey drizzle that added

real sizzle. It was so good.

Sounds greasy.

No, it wasn't. It was perfect, actually. We were both like, this is the best

thing ever.

You know, I miss our sweat sessions.

We should grab a bite later.

I'll pick you up.

Where's something special?

It's a bag on the back of their chair. Yeah, so cute.

Oh, my gosh.

Byron wants to sweat with me.

What? Byron, I ran into him on my jog, and he's going to come and pick me up.

Hey, I know it's been a while for you, so... Tear up.

No, we're just having a quick bite, like a late lunch, early dinner. I don't

know, whatever. Oh, okay, I have to text Theo that I can't help him. Oh, no, I

need to shower. Okay, I'm going to go shower. I'm going to go shower.

Lauren's in there.

Lauren, guess what?

Seriously, though.

I'm worried that she's never going to forget about Byron.

Yeah.

Then we forget about Sydney.

What? Wait.

You never give up on romance.

And I'm not.

No. We need to focus on Byron, and we need to show him that Marla is the girl

for him.

Except how can we do that if he can't see what's obvious?

Well... At the end of a rom -com, when does the guy clue in?

When he realizes he's lost the girl.

Terra, seriously, what are you even streaming?

Too hot to handle.

Yeah.

He's getting all buzzed.

You could bench Chris for you any day. Been a while for you too, huh?

Hey, Mike.

Hey. Hey, ladies.

How can I help?

It's actually not us that needs the help. It's for our friend Sydney.

Sorry, but my back's still not 100%. That's why I connected her with Theo.

Right, which is great for Syd and for Theo, but it's also why we need your

Well, that was brilliant.

Now we just need to get Marla on board.

Marla, hey.

Hey, Marla. I'm Tara. Remember from boot camp?

We're city friends.

Right.

Hi. Cindy and Byron are going out.

On a date.

Together.

Oh. We're not thrilled about it either.

Because we actually think that you two are perfect for each other.

I'm sorry. What's happening right now? Byron needs to smarten up. Yeah, or

lose you.

Well, I don't disagree with that, but I don't understand why you all care.

Well, because we're their love club.

And that's what we do.

And we are willing to do whatever it takes to help our friend Sid.

Okay. Do we know where they're going yet?

No. Still no response.

We're eating here?

Well, you went on about it so much, I thought I'd give it a chance.

I'll get your door.

Oh, no.

You're taking her to Theo.

What? Why? That's still not part of the plan.

Yeah, and by all the information, Mark, she's not happy either.

Yes, some exciting things. I'm adding a few new things to the menu.

And please enjoy yourselves.

Hey.

What are you doing here?

Well, we're here to eat.

Just help business in any way we can.

Oh, okay. Well, table for how many?

Two.

Two it is.

Follow me.

Here we are.

Thank you, Theo. No problem.

Oh, let me grab this cocktail and wine list.

You don't want to be putting that garbage in your body before a big race

right? How about just some water?

Just nice, head -cleaning water.

Sparkling. Yeah, why not? I can do that for you.

No problem.

Hey, table four.

Don't serve them any alcohol whatsoever, okay?

Actually, you know what?

I'll serve them.

But the kitchen is... Yeah, I got it.

Yeah.

So, you haven't asked how many lives I've saved.

Oh, I'm sorry.

I'm joking.

Oh, good one.

You should be proud.

You knew exactly what you wanted in your future and you've achieved it.

Yes, I did.

But I don't think I have everything I wanted.

Not yet.

Sparkling water?

No, no.

Thanks, Theo.

Oh, no problem.

Oh, gotta get something in the kitchen.

I recognize that top.

Really? It's from your 20th birthday. Remember we were in the photo booth?

Well, you look beautiful in it now, and you look beautiful in it then.

Byron, what a surprise.

Mike? Sydney, what are the odds?

Theo around?

Mike? Hey, bud.

Hey. How you doing?

Marla.

Marla, right. I recognize you from the boot camp.

Are you guys on a date?

Yeah. You, uh... You are?

Yeah, we are.

You got a table for us?

Absolutely, yeah. You know what? I'll take this table as well.

Yeah, please, follow me.

Right this way.

Good to see you.

All right, here we go.

Excellent table, wonderful view.

Perfect. Don't worry, brother. Now I got your back.

Allow me.

No.

I'm going to scooch on in over here.

So much better sitting side by side, don't you think?

Absolutely.

You okay?

Hmm? What?

Are you okay?

Yeah. Yeah. Of course.

I just think it's a little bit presumptuous.

I mean, who would want someone to put that close on the first date?

I don't know. I think it's kind of cute.

Since when have you been into cute?

I'm just saying, it's romantic.

What, are you growing soft on me soon?

What do you mean?

Wow, you've always been so tough, you know?

Always able to bounce back.

Can you freeze for me? Now, can I get you any appetizers, breadsticks? You

what? The new wing roll is actually getting quite the buzz.

I don't do deep fried.

It's too greasy. But I'm just going to have a salad.

Okay, one salad.

Burger for me.

Oh, you know what? I had to take the burger off the menu.

I'll see what I can do.

I think I'll just use the restroom.

Order us a salad.

Actually, can you get me the wing rolls?

I'll be right back.

Don't go too far, Nat.

This is awkward.

Not for me.

I know what I want.

I just need Byron to see it's what he wants.

Wow. There's no beating around the bush with you.

Um, is this you and Byron's first break?

No. But it doesn't matter, because I know we should be together.

You had your chance, Sydney.

This is mine, and I'm going after it.

Hey.

I'm sorry I'm not helping you out today.

Oh, don't worry.

You don't owe me anything.

I know. I want to.

Yeah. Well, like you said, right, you just help by filling tables.

So, uh, does this mean you guys are back on?

No, no, no, no. We're just having a bite to eat.

Right. Except you do have all that history and everything, so... You know,

although I don't understand the whole back and forth thing, because, I mean,

me, you know, when you find something that you really want, you go after it

you hang on to it.

She can't afford it.

She'll probably get that.

Oh, good. She's back. She's back. She's back.

Here. Give me one.

Okay. Act normal. It's fine.

Welcome back.

So, how was it?

Interesting.

I mean, it was definitely very awkward to be

in Theo's restaurant.

Oh, and Marla was there with Mike.

Blimey. But that's not important.

You know, what about you and Byron?

Yeah, I mean, was it everything you imagined?

Not really.

What do you mean?

I honestly don't know.

I have been waiting years and years for the chance to just show him that he made

a mistake and that I really should be in his future because I know that at one

point he wanted it.

I don't know if you can know that.

Yes, I can.

The day of that New Year's party, I went into his dorm to get my garment.

But I found an engagement ring.

Did he propose?

He was going to.

But then I spoiled it when he caught me with the ring.

So I just told him, I told him to pretend that I never saw it and to just

what he was planning anyway because I knew that he was going to propose at

midnight at your party.

But then when I met up with him that night, oh, he told me he couldn't do it.

That he didn't see me in the future.

So sorry, Sid.

That must have been so hard.

Yeah, it was.

But at the same time, he must have known that we were meant to be together. I

mean, he bought a ring.

I'm sure he did.

So, remember when you all told me I needed to tell Peter what I wanted?

Sid, you need to figure out what you want.

Because it's your future too.

I know.

But I honestly don't know what I want anymore.

Hello?

Hello?

Hey. Hey.

The sign said close, but the door was open.

Yeah, I must have left it open. I've been up all night working on my new

signature burger. Please, have a seat. Oh.

Theo?

That is... Very.

Okay, that's because what we have here is a freshly ground beef patty, okay?

Top with a whipped gorgonzola, seasoned with my signature spice. We've got some

bacon on top and some crispy shallots all nestled in between a nice brioche

What would you like to taste?

Taste?

I'm going to eat this whole thing.

Okay, first.

Not bad.

I'll take that.

Here you are.

Thank you.

So, when are you going to debut this bad boy?

Valentine's Day.

And I have a dessert to go with it.

Only if it's been approved, of course. Please hold.

You need to close your eyes.

Keep close.

All thanks to you.

You're my inspiration.

You know what? I should probably get ready. I have been up all night and I

to open.

Yeah, I can help you. No, no, that's all right. I got my sous chef back.

And you know what? Regarding today's run, since I have been up all night, why

don't you just go ahead and get done what you got to do and I will meet you

the race. Are you sure?

Yeah, yeah.

Okay.

I'll see you then.

Theo, this is amazing.

Thank you.

See you.

Yeah.

Hey. Hey.

Where is everyone?

Well, Tara decided to start her own car karaoke.

What? I don't know.

I love these things.

Where was this one taken?

At a birthday party for Byron.

He didn't want to go in at first, but I dragged him, of course.

And he ended up feeding it ten more times because we had so much fun.

And then a week later, he broke up with me.

And that was dump number two.

You know, when Warren proposed to me, I thought about our

future together.

But like Byron, I just couldn't see it.

And it wasn't because I didn't care about him or think that he was a

person. I did.

The one for me was still out there.

And the one for him.

I mean, he's obviously just stringing her along, right? I mean, how long do

need to figure out that you're into someone? It's been 10 years. 10 years,

that's 365 days a year times 10. That's 3 ,650 days, okay? How many months,

weeks, days, and years did that? How many coffees you had? We're not counting

coffees. We're counting weeks. So 12 weeks, right? Well, look, who cares if

still into her?

Because you obviously are, and her friends know you are.

They're all Team Theo, so she's obviously into him. I can't compete with

history. You guys have your own history.

I mean, what about that wing roll?

Boom. Pure dynamite. Okay, true. And the burger and the funnel cake? You said it

yourself. That was inspired by the times you two spent together. It was.

So forget about him, man.

He's the past.

You're the future.

But not if you don't go for it.

Yeah, you know what? You're right. He is the past. I'm the future.

You know what? I'm doing this. I'm going for it. My boy. Yeah, Team Theo, come

on.

Oh,

the back. Yes,

I did it.

Wow,

it looks like you still got it. Oh, yeah.

I'm going to grab you some water.

You want to grab the towels from the back of the car? Yeah, I can do that.

You have a habit of finding that.

Is this the same ring from... Yeah.

I lost the receipt after that New Year's, so... So?

I thought I'd get back together with Marla at the end of this trip and make

official.

So this was meant for Marla?

I thought so.

But I'm just not sure.

I see her, you know?

Me.

Especially after seeing you again.

Right. Because, let me guess, you don't know who you see yourself with in your

future.

Well, I try.

Do you, though?

I mean, maybe you don't see because all you see is yourself.

I was always there, Byron. I never, ever got away.

But you couldn't make up your mind, and you still can't, which is...

It's really too bad, because I think Marla's the one for you.

Do you really think so?

I mean, you don't think that you and I... No.

No, not anymore.

And if you get your head out of your ass, then you would see who you're meant

be with, too.

You're right.

I... I have to get my head out.

I'm sorry, Sid.

It's okay.

I'm guilty, too.

I get out?

You're a good sport, way?

See you at the race?

You can throw the dust.

Theo! Theo, hey!

Hey. So, I posted a picture of your sexy burger on my blog, and it's getting a

lot of buzz.

Oh, that's great.

So, do you want me to come in and help you in the kitchen? You know, seeing as

it's all going to blow up.

Uh, thank you.

But like I told you, I got my sea chef back now, so no more grease for you.

Oh. Well, hey, um, I'll see you at the race tomorrow?

Actually, I decided not to run.

But I'm still going to send the food along with the restaurant banner, and

sure you'll crush it, so... Good luck.

And if you ever want to stop by, I'll make sure the hostess has your name.

I'll see you around, Sydney.

See you.

Pepperoni. Thank you. Hey, you guys feel like barbecue?

Sure. Okay.

Hey, hey, Sid.

Sid, how was your run? Oh, my run?

Yeah. I found a ring in Byron's bag.

Same one from college.

Okay, wait. Byron, why weren't you running with Theo?

Theo's restaurant's too busy.

He's got a buzz, so it's great.

Can we go back here? A ring? Did Byron go... Hello?

No. That was meant for Marla.

Sid, I'm really sorry.

Don't be.

I'm not.

I think I just hung on to him for so long because I couldn't stand the idea

losing someone else.

But the reality is you can't hold on to everything.

Or anyone.

Guys, it can't end like this. It doesn't matter if Theo is busy at his

restaurant.

We're not wrong. There's sparks between him and Sid.

We've been standing the flame and it hasn't been working.

Not yet, it hasn't.

Come on.

What are you doing?

I'm prepping for the dinner rush. Why aren't you at the race with Sydney?

Because she doesn't want me there. Of course she does, and I think you want to

be there, too. Well, yeah, I'd love that, but you know what? I lost that

Byron, so... Actually, no, you didn't.

Because she doesn't want him. She wants you.

Are you sure about that?

Where does the power come from to see the race to its end? Oh, my God.

Seriously, guys, it's cheering. It's a fire. It's like the greatest movie of

time. Greatest race movie. Okay, we need to get going.

What?

Don't burn the bread. Let's go.

Put the strawberries on simmer.

You're killing it!

Come on! You got this!

You're killing it! Come on! Come on!

All

good,

sport?

All good.

You go.

I'll just work up a stand.

Hey.

No. You okay?

There'll be no forfeiting. What are you doing?

Doing what I told you I was going to do.

I'll help you to the finish line.

Come on. Come on.

Can you stand?

Hey, come on.

Here we go.

Come on.

Almost there.

Oh, me too.

Me too. Oh, you're hanging.

Hey, wow.

Okay.

Now that was buzzword, you know.

All right, while you do that, I'm going to get in.

Call us when you come.
