I love you.
Shoot at this to yourself.
Come on, you show me. Show me how you do it. Come on.
Come on, shoot me.
Okay,
let's go back a few seconds.
When you say that you're worthless, who does that sound like to you?
I know.
We practiced this last week.
I feel stupid talking to myself out loud.
We need to hear your voice.
Not his.
Okay.
Let's try something different.
Go to the top right corner of your screen and press the show self view.
Okay.
Don't say anything.
Just... Focus on truly seeing the woman who's staring back at you Everything
she's been through how far she's come who she was before the abuse
Now try and tell me that she's worthless
Oh, sorry to scare you. I just need to read your meter.
Oh, it's in the back. You can use the side gate. Thanks.
Uh -oh.
Where could Toby be hiding?
Is he in here?
How about here?
I don't see Sir Toby anywhere.
to be seen oh
critical hit oh
toby hi buddy
hi hi what no
it's uh i didn't do my makeup yet it's not the makeup
God, this magazine is stressful.
Pretty sure I have half these disorders, starting with ebulia?
Awadia?
The pathological inability to make decisions.
You know, I was at the store the other day, and I'm in the deodorant aisle, and
I'm just staring for like 20 minutes. I can't pick one. When did you start
wearing deodorant?
You're hilarious.
Okay, better?
Oh, wow.
Oh, much worse.
Did you mean to dress like a candy cane?
You're... The meanest person in the world.
You can't want your sister. That's kind of my job.
Tell me you're at least wearing something sexy under this.
Okay, that's a no.
I'm sorry. You know what? No, you look great.
No, I don't. I look like I'm going to play bingo in a rest home.
Stop. No, you don't. I haven't been shopping in forever. All I have are work
clothes.
I don't think I should go.
I mean, Toby's not feeling well. I just feel like I should stay here in case he
needs me tonight. It's just really bad timing. No, no, no. Hey.
Hey, look at me.
They're not all Blake.
Yeah.
It's just a date.
You know, you're just going to go and have a nice dinner and enjoy the company
of the very handsome and extraordinarily patient man who's been talking to you
for three months.
And if you're not feeling it, you just cut it short.
There's no harm, no foul.
But... If it's going well... Oh, yeah.
Mm -hmm. Come here.
Come on.
If it's going well, you're going to be glad you're wearing this.
Because you deserve to be happy.
And you need to get laid.
It's getting kind of weird.
Kids still don't know how to blow their nose.
All right, you put this on.
I'm going to go deal with the boogers.
Thank you.
Yeah, of course.
Okay, ready to go.
Wow, Mom, you look beautiful.
Thanks, little man.
You going to be good for Auntie Jen?
He does.
Okay. But hey, how much do you love me?
This much.
I love you more.
Thank you.
Okay, don't forget humidifier, sound machine, and teeth brushed with
actual toothpaste.
Of course.
We're going to be fine, right? We're going to be fine.
Okay.
Have fun.
Oh, and bedtime is eight. Sharp. Big sister is watching.
Love you both.
just today.
Welcome to Pallet.
Do you have a reservation with us tonight?
Uh, yeah. I think it's under Campbell.
Henry Campbell?
Here you are. For two?
He's running a little late. Is it okay if I wait for him in the bar? Of course.
Just head through the corridor. You'll see the bar straight ahead.
I'll come find you when the rest of the party arrives.
Okay, thanks.
May I take your coat?
Oh, uh, yeah. That'd be great.
Thanks.
Thank you.
Welcome to Pallet.
Do you have a reservation?
I'm so sorry.
All good? Thank you. I should really watch where I'm going.
Can I get something?
Oh, uh, how's the house red?
Smell back's better.
Oh, back then. Thanks.
Oh, thank you.
Love, love that outfit, by the way.
Oh, my sister made me wear it.
First date?
That obvious.
Sure I can get you something stronger?
I probably should stick with this in case I have to make a run for it.
Right.
Diane?
Richard.
Oh, I'm not Diane.
Sorry. Oh, no.
Sorry. No, it's okay.
She's not her. Sorry. No worries.
I'm doing a blind date.
Oh, wow, they still do those?
Apparently they do. If you get set up with the only woman in Chicago who's not
on social media.
Wow. I know.
Crazy, right? Yeah. Not even on a friend's story.
I just dated myself.
I eat... Facebook. Wow.
It's kind of cool, though. Yeah. I mean, mystery.
It's kind of hard to come by these days.
It's a good way of looking at it.
It's just kind of rusty and all this stuff.
I feel like I'm sweating. Am I sweating?
No. You look great.
Thank you.
You're very kind.
Um, hey.
Well, to us. To get back out there. Cheers. Cheers.
So,
are you early or are they late? The same. Keep them coming.
Got any requests?
No. Oh, come on.
What's your favorite song?
Phil, she is literally waiting on her date. And I'm just asking what song she
likes.
You know any Pinkfong?
Baby shark?
Banger.
I guess we'll see what we can do.
Time to get to dance.
I am so sorry.
It's okay. It's a new piano guy, and apparently being a corny sleaze is
part of the job description.
How was your kid?
Five. Going on 13. Right.
Nine. Already hates me.
So enjoy those baby shark days while you can.
Excuse me, are you Richard?
I am.
I'm going to assume you're Diane.
That's right.
Can we actually hug? It's great to finally meet you. You too.
Yeah.
Oh, all right. I guess we're ready to go.
Hey. Hi.
Oh, you look very beautiful.
Oh, thank you so much.
Sorry I'm late. How are you doing? Oh, it's not fine. I mean, it is fine. It's
not a problem. Sorry. I got a drink because I was nervous. It clearly...
I haven't helped. Yeah, I had a couple in the car on the way over.
Also, it didn't help.
What do you say we get our table?
Yeah, okay.
Are you trapped?
No, luckily I'm only a few minutes from downtown.
Just here?
Thanks.
Sorry about the bag. I can't leave my camera in the car. Otherwise, I won't
it. Oh, of course.
And then I'll be out of a job, so... Your server will be with you shortly.
Enjoy. Thank you. Thank you.
What a view, huh?
Ooh, that is high.
Wow.
I can't believe we're actually doing this. Yeah.
Just, I don't know if you'd ever agree to meet. I just, I can't imagine all
these creeps you must come across in these apps.
I mean, you are the first guy who didn't ask for a feet pic, so I just figured.
Yeah, it's usually like an in -person request.
No paper trail.
So, have you, um, have you been here before?
Uh, no.
No, I've always wanted to. Just haven't had a reason to.
Uh, I'm really sorry. I know this is rude.
But do you mind if I leave my phone on the table? It's just my sister's
babysitting Toby, and it's the first time he's been without me in a while.
Totally fine.
Thanks.
Uh, Jen.
Right? Yeah. Wow. Very impressive. I actually studied all of her DMs before
coming on the date.
Did you?
I make really bad jokes. I'm nervous.
I thought that was a pretty good joke.
Oh, I, um... I got this for Toby.
Because I thought he should know what to root for now that he's a true
Chicagoan.
I hope that's not weird that I did that.
No, it's actually really sweet.
He's going to love it.
He's going to break one of my windows with it, but he's going to love it.
Feel free to send me a bill.
Hello.
I am Matt.
I'll be taking care of you two lovebirds this evening.
What are we celebrating?
Yeah, it's actually our first date.
What? Are you serious?
Yeah.
This is my first shift?
Can you believe that?
Okay, well, I'll do my best to make sure it is special for all of us.
Thanks. I'm actually in the improv scene.
This is just sort of a side hustle.
You guys ever heard of Second City?
Yeah, sure.
You have a show coming up?
No, no, just classes for now.
I'm actually working on this sketch where I play like a hat on top of
Janney's head. And, you know, she's tall.
And the catch is the hat is afraid of heights.
So he's just, he's really going through it.
I see that the lady is taken care of.
Could I get you anything to wet your whistle, sir?
Yeah, what is that?
It's a Malbec.
That's a Malbec. All right.
One Malbec. Come in right up. I'm just going to grab this. Oh, yeah, of course.
All right. Be right back.
Malbec.
Whoa. Oh, my God.
That was a lot.
Yeah.
That should be auntie fun times.
Are you okay?
Somebody keeps sending me these.
Oh, DigiDrop.
I'm more of an airdrop guy myself, but it's a sign guy, vintage classic.
Yeah, I got a couple at the bar before, too. It's weird.
Uh -oh.
You've been chosen.
Happens to me all the time on the L train. Oh.
Just a bunch of dumb kids probably trying to mess with you. I feel like it
sense on a train, but here it just seems kind of weird.
I mean, who do you think it is?
The only thing they are seeing is each other.
I mean, it's definitely not them.
They're still trying to figure out how to work a VCR.
What about them over there?
Oh, okay, so they're actually here on a blind date, and I was at the bar when
they met, and it was really sad because she was, like, visibly disappointed when
she saw him.
Poor guy.
Who is it?
Oh.
It's the prom kids.
Should I be flattered? I would be.
Okay. I mean, at least not a dick pic.
Oh, my God. Actually happens to me a lot on the train.
And the worst part is, is that the lighting is always atrocious.
Oh, yeah. That would be the worst part. It's like, if you're going to do it, at
least, like, put some... effort yeah you know what i mean photographer's
nightmare for sure um i'm not even gonna look at this one let me check just in
case it's a you know it's oh god i'm just kidding someone
really wants
your attention well then we probably shouldn't give it to them
But it might be my sister.
Oh, yeah, there she is.
Just stuffing him full of ice cream.
Oh, that's cute.
Mm -hmm.
What is it?
They know my name.
Oh, well, that's totally fine. Here, I'll show you.
So, this...
That's you.
Yeah. Violet Gates.
With your name and your photo for everybody to see. There's your friend.
And then this is everybody else that's in the restaurant.
So, just gotta match up the faces with the name.
What? It's really strange.
Everybody's on here.
So whoever your friend is, it's somebody else.
I know you gotta be within 50 feet, I think, to send or receive a ditty drop.
That's a fun fact.
We can figure this out.
What are you doing?
Solving a mystery.
It was very impressive.
Thanks. You should see me with a level.
Okay, so?
So, the lobby's at a range, and most of the kitchen, too. Everything else is
fair game.
He's just haunting us.
Hello. Here you go, Mr. Malbec.
So, who wants to hear about our specials?
Sure.
Special the way. All right, great. Well, I will start with the biggie, the South
African lobster.
I'm not going to lie, she's pricey, especially for a first date.
I'm kidding.
Well, actually, no, I'm not, because the lobster, it is expensive.
But let's see, what else do we have? We have the tuna tartare, which is
delicious. Also, the lemon oyster soup, which sounds weird.
And it is.
But it's good. It's good. I mean, I wouldn't order it, but so many people
So can I get you started with any appetizers? What are you thinking for
appetizers? Yeah, you can order.
You sure?
Mm -hmm. Take responsibility.
All right.
Are you like calamari?
Yeah.
How's the coconut calamari, to be honest? I'm told it is our most popular
special on the menu, right?
Yeah, I will get that sorted for you, and I will have eaten.
Violet, are you okay?
What's going on?
Uh, yeah, I just, I have to, um, I should call home. I'll be right back.
Nope. It keeps happening. I'm going to have to start taking it personally.
Sorry.
Hey, are you okay?
I really need your help. I need... You need help?
I need your eyeliner.
I left mine at home. My eyeliner?
Yeah, I'll get it right back.
Okay.
We should really get out of here.
Can I have my eyeliner back?
Yes, I'm sorry.
It's fine.
Everything okay?
Yeah, just a little bedtime emergency.
Are you sure?
You just seem a little upset, that's all.
Sorry. This is so embarrassing.
I just, I haven't been out like this, really, since he was born.
And we just have a little routine. You know, he likes things a certain way. So
guess we're both just feeling a little emotional.
Yeah.
You know what?
I think this is my fault. No.
I feel like I rushed you into this. No, definitely not. Are you sure?
Just know that I get it, and if anything comes up, I completely understand.
Having a kid is the most important thing.
That comes first.
Um, I appreciate that.
Actually, they lost his stuffy, but I think I know where it is. It's just he
can't go to sleep without his lamby. Well, I'll have to find it.
Yeah, I mean, technically I'm on call all the time, but it's nothing compared
being a parent. Yeah, we're pretty inseparable, you know, especially since
dad passed.
Yeah, I can't hide you.
Are you getting more drops?
No. I just keep looking around the room.
I'm so sorry.
I'm like the worst date ever.
No, no, you're great. You're great. You're amazing. I just, if something's
wrong, I just, I want to help.
That's all.
Um, I got a thing with heights, so I just, I think I'm trying to center
little.
What are we doing sitting here?
We can fix that. It's easy.
Matt.
The appetizers will be right out. It's not that.
It's actually, you know, Matt, you think maybe we can change tables?
It's just the view's a little disorienting, I think.
Sure.
Let me check. Thank you.
Easy.
It's really not necessary.
Well, look, this is probably Matt's first table change request, and the guy
just nailing it.
It's killing me.
Don't worry about it.
Thanks.
Yes, yes, yes, yes. I got that. I made some calls. I dropped some names. Pulled
some strings. I got you all new tables. So get your things. Follow me.
Amazing. Thank you. Come on. Great.
Here we go.
Just right this way.
And new table.
Vertigo free.
Wait.
I'm sorry.
Can we go back to our other table?
I could ask if there's another one if this one doesn't work. No, no. I'd
like to go back to our original table.
We came for the view.
So I'm just going to get over it.
I'm good.
Let's go back.
Back we go.
Jesus Christ.
All right.
We happy?
Yes. Yeah. Well, you guys let me know if you need anything else, okay?
All right.
Sorry about that. That was crazy.
That's okay. I need to get my steps in for the day anyway.
Well, I'm working on overcoming my fears, so this is good.
It's good for me.
You afraid of heights?
Among other things.
They find Lammy?
Yes.
Finally. Good. Crisis averted.
Good evening.
I just want to make sure there's no problem with the table.
No, everything's great.
Oh, it's great.
Okay, good. Because this is the one you reserved, Mr. Campbell.
No, it's not. I just asked for one with a view.
Oh. Well, it's in my notes that you had called and reserved this table
specifically. It's funny. I don't remember doing that.
But I think we're good with this table, yeah?
Yeah.
Enjoy. Thanks.
I must have gotten us mixed up with another res.
You know what?
I bet you that explains the drops.
We took someone's table, we took the reservation, and they're pissed.
It's got to be what it is.
Should we order?
Yeah. Okay.
Let's order.
Are we ready to order?
Yeah, I think so. All right. My lady, you first.
Decisions, decisions.
How's the duck salad?
Oh, it's like my favorite thing on the menu.
Love it. It's got this, like, candy ginger and some cashews.
It gives it, like, a real crunchy, munchy kind of vibe. It's really good.
So, the duck salad?
Yes, perfect. Thank you.
Okay. And for the gentleman, I'm going to do the Kobe filet.
Good choice.
Do you want the 8 -ounce or the big boy 12 -er? Better stick with the 8.
Okay. Medium or rare?
Medium.
Okay. And any sides?
Would you share the truffle mashed potatoes if I got them? Love it.
Great. Let's do that.
Got it. All right, I'm going to get those turned in, and I will be
right back.
Oh, no.
What is it?
My watch. I've been meaning to get the clasp fixed. It must have fallen off
somewhere. Well, where was the last place you were having it? I don't
Oh, I had it when I walked in because I remember the hostess complimented me on
it.
Well, it's got to be around here.
Would you mind?
I'm going to look around here, but would you mind just asking the hostess if
anyone turned it in? Yeah, yeah, sure. Sit tight. I'll be right back.
I'm sorry.
My mom got me that watch. Oh, really? That's a bummer. Yeah.
Well, look.
It's got to be around here somewhere. I'm sure it'll turn up.
Oh.
You know what?
I bet it came off in the ladies' room.
I'm just going to quickly run and grab it.
Sorry.
It's done. I did it.
Get your guy out of my house now.
Please.
Please, I did what you asked.
No No No, I can't I
can't do that
Your watch? Did you find it?
Uh... No.
I didn't.
If anyone turns it in, I'll come find you.
Thanks.
We just really booked.
Another time. Okay, thank you. Thank you for calling.
Excuse me. Sorry.
Just curious, did anyone else specifically request a table tonight,
same time we're dining? I just want to make sure that we didn't accidentally
take someone else's.
You're at the right table.
Excuse me.
Hi, my son is being held... Hello?
Hello?
Coconut calamari. Here we go.
Oh, you don't have plates.
Is she coming back or?
Sure hope so.
Well, I will be right back with these plates.
Hi. Hi.
You again.
Yeah. You've been waiting here for a long time.
I'm meeting my sister. She's stuck on the tarmac at O 'Hare.
I'm sorry.
You are?
Violet.
Violet, aren't you on a date right now?
Why do you ask?
Well, I think he's looking over here.
And you might want to get back to your table.
Right.
Sorry.
Didn't mean to bother you.
It's no bother.
Are you sure you don't want that bug stuff?
Oh, yeah. That's okay. Thank you so much.
You're not leaving, are you?
Yeah.
Look, it's clear to me that Toby really needs his mom right now, and I think
you're just too polite to say it.
So I'll let you off the hook. Please don't go.
I'm so sorry. I know I've been...
I've been so distracted all night, but I really don't want you to leave.
Please stay.
You don't have to apologize.
We can pick up some other time.
Stay with me.
Please.
You're a real jerk.
Loser.
You folks have a lovely evening.
Actually, you know what, Matt?
I think we're going to stay.
Really? Oh, plot twist.
Okay. Keeping me on my toes. Cool. I'm trying to fire him, all right?
Yes. I'm here for it. Really, I am.
Should I get you another glass of wine? Yeah, yeah. How do you feel about wine?
What do you think?
Sorry,
I requested this song.
Oh, you requested Baby Shark.
Yeah.
My son loves it.
Wine. Yeah. Sounds good.
This was a little heavy for me. I might switch to something else if they're wine
-less. There certainly is. Right here.
Would you mind? I'm terrible at that. Yeah, yeah. Thanks.
Love to.
Let's see here. What have we got?
It's really big.
Heavy to carry.
Got a bunch of pinots here. What do you recommend?
I mean, like, you know, some simmel, simmel, some.
wine guy, but I, uh, I've tried, like, all the reds, and the one from, uh, Paso
Robles is just as good as the Napa Valley stuff, and it's, like, half the
so. Let's do that.
Great. All right, so, two of those?
All right, great, and the entrees will be right out. Can you just give this to
the piano player, say it's from me?
Oh, yes, I will.
Thank you.
Oh, that's really nice.
Well, I, he did play my song.
How long have you been working for the mayor?
Five years.
Wow. Yeah. He must know him pretty well.
I mean, I'm just a guy's press photographer.
It's not like I'm his best friend.
Is he a good guy?
Yeah.
I just take pictures of people for a living.
You get their whole life. I mean, it's got to be pretty crazy.
Honestly, it can be intense, yeah.
I recently switched my focus to survivors of abuse.
What made you do that?
Experience.
My ex -husband, Toby's dad.
It rears its head now and again.
See you tonight for details.
But I'm still here for Toby, and that's what really matters.
Of course.
Thanks for telling me. I appreciate it.
Back in five.
I'm sorry to do this.
I have a work call I got to take.
Is that okay?
I owe you. Of course. Take your time.
Okay. I'll be right back. Okay.
Everything okay?
Yeah.
Yeah, it's going to be good.
Yeah, just some scheduling stuff.
And now for the main event.
All right, so we have the duck salad for the lady.
Thank you. And the Kobe filet for the gentleman.
And the truffle mashed potatoes.
And do you need anything else?
Thank you so much. Okay, great. I'll be right back with that wine. Enjoy.
Man, this looks great.
Oh.
Sorry, Jen texted.
Oh, that's all right.
Please.
Please, I'm begging you. Please.
Don't do this.
I got it. I got it.
Sorry,
folks.
Because there was one too many vodka martinis.
Back in a few.
That was so insane.
Yeah, scary.
Hope he's okay.
Me too.
You think that's for him?
I don't know. Maybe.
Can we start over?
This night's been so weird.
Start over? How?
What if we took a shot?
Oh.
Okay. That's not what I thought you were telling me. I just feel like we could
use the reset.
Um, yeah.
I'd love to. I have to curate a bunch of photos when I get home, and I'm already
a little buzzed. Yeah, no, that was dumb.
Actually, forget it.
I realized that I made this night pretty heavy, so I just wanted to lighten the
mood.
You know what?
Screw it.
Yeah, let's do it. Yeah?
Yeah, Sean never killed anybody, right?
What's your poison?
Tequila. Oh, I love tequila.
Yeah? Yeah.
Okay. Let's get a couple shots.
All right.
I'm going to get it from the bar. No, I got it. Please, sit down.
I got it.
Matt's around here somewhere. I can get a... Who is going to be covering this?
Oh, okay.
Looks like he's having a really rough first day.
I'll go get it. It's no biggie.
No, don't be silly. It's fine. I can... I got it. No, please. Honestly, it is
the least I could do.
I'm gonna go.
I'll be right back.
Two minutes.
Okay. I'm right back. All right. Okay?
Hey,
you're back.
Hi. Good to get you.
Two shots of tequila, please.
So, how's the day going?
It's good.
Sure about that?
You seem kind of on edge.
I'm fine.
First date jitters.
needs to see me do it.
Oh, um, just remembered I left my purse at the table.
Don't worry about it. I'll just add it to the tab. Okay, thank you.
That's mine.
Um, no thanks.
Good luck.
Where did you find it?
Your purse.
When you got up to get your purse fell on the ground.
It spilled out.
Henry, I... You're lying to me.
You're looking around the restaurant. You're distracted.
You're on your phone.
Something's happening.
No, it's not.
Is it?
Someone in the restaurant.
Is it the drops?
I just want to help.
Why did you message me?
What do you mean?
On the app, why did you message me?
I mean, you know that I'm a widow with a kid. That's a lot of baggage.
Well... I, uh...
I really hate these apps.
And, uh... I was really close to deleting my profile.
Everybody's trying to present this version of themselves that they're not.
A version that they think other people want to see.
And I saw you.
And I didn't see any of that.
You just seemed kind.
Genuine.
No pretense, just a good mom.
in an abusive relationship even after Toby was born.
And he was really little.
I didn't.
I never got out.
I'm still stuck in that room.
The night that I watched Blake almost kill my son.
And that's the kind of mother I am.
You know, I... I found myself in a pretty
messed up situation not long ago.
And somebody... Somebody I really trusted ended up being somebody totally
different.
And for a long time...
stayed silent, and I didn't say anything, and then I finally did, and I
do the right thing, whatever I thought the right thing was, whatever that is,
and I still found myself feeling guilty
about it, you know, and I know I didn't do anything wrong, you know, I think
that's what abusive people do, they make us feel, they
turn everything around, they make us feel crazy.
Even if they're dead.
Take what?
Hope.
And I think that's what... I think that's what brought me here today.
All these dates.
I hope that I can... I can be happy.
That things can be different.
I think maybe that's what brought you here.
I guess I killed the mood for these.
No, no.
I was never a bad time for some tequila, right?
Well, I forgot the limes.
I get some limes.
Can you tell I haven't taken a shot since college?
I think you're really great.
Thank you.
I'm going to go see a guy about some limes.
All right?
I'll be right back.
Pino delivery.
Just checking in over here.
See how things are going.
Yeah, everything's great.
You good?
Yeah, can I get a couple of lime wedges, please?
What, you changed your mind?
Yeah.
And you don't need anything else?
No, thank you.
Oh, we got some shots. That's fun.
Shot, shot, shot, shot, shot, shot, shot.
All right. Well, I'll just leave you to it.
Some limes.
Oh, thank you.
So what should we toast to?
It's a good question. I don't know.
How about hope?
I'm so sorry.
Oh, wow. I really could win the award for worst date ever.
It's okay.
I'm sorry. Are you okay?
Yeah, I was going to get rid of these pants anyway.
I'm just going to go clean up. Yeah, of course.
Take your time. Okay.
I'll be right back.
It was quite the spell.
Oh, yeah, sorry, man.
Real clubs.
Come on.
I know what's going on here.
I've been a barge into my whole life and not just in fancy places like this.
You've been acting nervous all night.
I've seen it a million times.
If you feel unsafe with your date or you're afraid of him, I'll get you out
here.
Uh, look, I know I've been acting a little on edge all night, but it's not
Really? Because you're waiting to notice it, too.
No, he's, uh, he's been great.
Thank you, though.
Hey, um, do you know who that is? She looks familiar.
Oh, her?
Yeah. She's in here all the time.
Although, weird, she usually requests that table over there.
By the way...
I do not blame his day for ditching him.
That man's been staring at you all night.
Well, enjoy the rest of your day.
I'll just get you another.
Hello again.
I'd ask how it's going, but I imagine you're having an infinitely better night
than me.
I thought you could use this.
No way.
To getting back out there.
Violet, wow, that's incredibly sweet, but I think one drink's my limit for
tonight.
I don't remember telling you my name before.
You did not. It's a good one.
Please, sit.
Sit.
I admire your tenacity.
I do. No, I really do. I mean, you had a shit hand. You played the heck out of
it. I mean, it's not going to do you any good, but...
Pick one.
Pick a goddamn shot.
Drink it.
Oh, there you go.
That wasn't so hard.
So this was the best table to watch me from?
It's an okay table. I mean, it's fine. But it's the only one in the blind spot
of the cameras.
Killing Henry won't stop, whatever this is. I mean, I'm sure he backed up the
photos. Yeah, of course, I mean, all official photos go straight to the
private server, which, you know, we already scrubbed, but the SD card, that
a loose end.
But you crushed it. I mean, literally, you crushed it.
Hey, fun fact.
Henry just got a call about a meeting tonight with the FBI to hand it over.
He's in a torment.
It's a bit of a grand word. No, he's a rat.
Which makes you a rat trap.
I've seen your face.
Okay, great. I'll just, you know, go ahead and join a nice meal.
I'm going to tell the police about the drops.
Oh, shit.
You mean the little notes and the memes that are in the camera roll on your
phone? The drops are untraceable. There's no way to prove they came from
I mean, you could have put them there yourself for all anyone knows.
Well, what about Diane? I'm sure she'll be able to tell them that you were on
your phone the whole night. Is that a crime or is it just, you know?
That date.
You didn't have to bring me into this.
I kind of did.
Suspicious death of a future star witness is not really a great headline
employer. But if you become the headline, widow assassin strikes again.
Come on. Nobody's going to be looking anywhere else. And the FBI's case just
goes poof.
I didn't kill my husband.
Okay. Sure.
Yeah. Sure. Not that.
family could prove in court, but I mean, you were the only one there, right?
The night he died, your fingerprints were all over the gun.
I'm going to take your word for it on Blake.
But what about poor Phil?
Did he have to die too?
You did that. No, you did that. When you pulled that stupid stunt.
It's a good thing for Toby.
I got to him before he got to the cops.
Otherwise, your son's brains would be splattered all over the wall.
Oh, wow.
That looks gorgeous.
Thank you.
Can I get you or anything else?
No. I mean, it's going to be a hard act to follow, right?
Am I right?
Look at this. Oh, my God.
It's like I don't know if I should photograph it or eat it.
You have to help me with this.
Oh, and the camera's over your table. I mean, they recorded you spiking that
shot.
Searcher Lee.
You prescribe sertraline a lot, right?
Of course you do. That's why I chose it.
You don't get it, do you?
I'm playing chess here. I'm, like, at least two moves ahead at all times.
What are you doing? You're playing... What are you playing? You're playing...
You can't win.
In fact, you lost the second you walked in here, so you need to accept that.
You want to save little Toby? You get Henry to drink that shot. It's your last
chance.
Oh, no way. What you talking about here? Sorry, I'm Richard.
Henry. Pleasure.
Um, Violet and I are old pals.
We go all the way back to the bar earlier.
Yeah.
Comrades in the first date trenches.
I like that, yeah. I don't know if you noticed, but I'm gonna have the best
night tonight with Violet. She's such a sweetheart. She brought over those
shots. But now you're not drinking them. You're leaving me hanging.
Well, I'm a little tipsier than I thought.
Well, this was yours anyway.
I am good. Oh, please, please, don't make me drink alone.
Yeah, come on.
After tonight, you earned it.
Masterfully done.
Hey.
Can you just give us one more minute?
I'll explain everything.
Yeah, of course.
Nice to meet you. My pleasure.
It's done. Call it off right now.
I'm going to finish up there.
Okay. Right.
Happy? When are you leaving? Your son's safe. Don't worry about it.
What happens now?
I eat this delicious dessert.
And wait for Henry to kill over, which, unfortunately, I mean, you're going to
be on the hook for, but, you know, hey.
At least you saved your son, huh?
No way.
Oh, man.
You can't live. I will eat this all myself.
The last time Blake took me out to dinner, he had panna cotta.
Okay. It's an Italian restaurant.
The same one he always took me to after he... The apology dinner.
Mm -hmm.
And I'd sit across from him and...
Just pretend that everything was fine.
He got really good at it.
Pretending I believed him when he said it wouldn't happen again.
And pretending I was going to leave.
But I knew I wouldn't.
And like tonight when I pretended to poison that shot.
still in your house.
You're going to be okay.
Look at me.
I think there's something going on.
Stay right here.
I'll be right back.
You're going to be okay, all right?
Help's coming.
Where's your cough?
Peace me, Roger.
Call the cops. Go. Go.
No!
My horoscope was right.
So how was your day?
No.
What authorities claim was a plot to murder a key witness has now led to
explosive new evidence linking the mayor's office to a widespread
scheme and implicating many of the city's top leaders. Gotcha, dickhead.
it was closed for renovations.
Oh. I wonder why.
It's not Kobe.
I'll take anything over this stuff to get me here.
Right.
Uh -oh.
I'm sorry.
Bitch, yes.
Unbelievable.
Hey, Henry.
I'm the sister down the hall.
Nice to meet you, sister down the hall.
You got him some food?
You know I got shot, too. You want to get shot twice?
Okay.
I'll go.
See you later.
Have fun.
Thanks for stopping by, Jen.
Save me some fries.
She's really nice.
I think she's in the wrong kind of hospital.
Well, that was a pretty hardcore first date.
Oh, my God. There are so many moments where I was just thinking, what is this
guy still doing here? You must have thought that I was a crazy person.
You saved my life.
I don't even know what to say.
Say you'll brave a second date with me.
I would love to go on a second date with you.
Well, yeah, I might.
Well, I was thinking something really, really boring.
Oh, yeah.
Sounds great.
How do milkshakes sound? Oh, pretty damn good to me.
Yeah? What are we working with? Okay, I got one of each. So are you a chocolate
girl or a strawberry girl?
I'm a strawberry girl.
