[Jason] Smells too good in here.

Oh, well, I hope
that it lives up to the hype.

Because that oven is
in one of her moods.

But obviously, I had to
cook for you this morning.

Babe, you know I fast for lunch
on Friday.

No, no, no. These are for after lunch.

They're a little macro-friendly,
sugar-free holiday treat.

Mm, it's not just that.

No, but I made the recipe
to reach your numbers.

You know, I did actual math for you.

And I appreciate you.

I mean, it is a special day.
Can you make an exception?

There are no exceptions in discipline.

That's why it's called discipline. Right?

Um, well...

I guess I can just put them
in the freezer for another time.

Hey, um, I was, um,

I was thinking in the new year

I could maybe try your training program?

That's what I'm talking about.

You gotta get out of the kitchen.

You spend all your time cooking.

But training, that's where it's at.

It'll make you a beast! Your best self.

What are you up to tonight?

Oh, um, I don't know.

I thought that you'd have

something planned

for...

Our anniversary.

The special day that is today.

Um, of course I have
something planned.

Well, that's exciting.

- Mm-hmm.
- Is it a surprise?

Oh, yeah.

I hope you have something great to wear.

Something sexy.

Oh, I hadn't thought about that.

Better get on that today, then.

Well,

your gift will be arriving
at your office around ten.

Better not be a stripper-gram.

I only got one girl on my mind today.

I love you, Jason.

It's gonna be a great night.

Five years, baby.

- Whoo!
- [chuckles]

[instrumental music]

Nani Rose would say it's important

to follow your own tastes.

But mine are asking for... more flavor

more delight, more,

and cheese.

When all else fails, add more cheese.

[upbeat music]

Good morning.

[telephone ringing]

Hi, morning, Ryan.

Fresh treats in the tin.

These look drier than my last date.

Uh, they have cheese on top.

To conceal the fact that
they're Jason's specials,

I'm on to you.

Look, we can all use
one healthy habit a day.

No, thou minion of Jason.

I want Savvy to go back to creating

utterly-butterly old-school treats.

- Okay.
- I demand it.

Oh, uh, by the way, check your email.

Alotta Body Shop have
some updates they want posted.

[sighs] When don't they?

Hey, we update their websites,

and they exploit boomers

who are insecure about
their status symbol cars.

Yeah, but there hasn't been
anything interesting

to do on that site for, like, ever.

Not on my pet store account, either.

Not interesting?

You're telling the people

about half-priced kibble.

How can that not be interesting?

- That's your calling.
- My calling.

I am a web designer, okay?

I thought there was gonna be
more of the design-y part.

Oh, sweetie.

You know what I do when I
get that... creative itch?

[whispers] I take a pottery class.

Look, I have a whole collection
of wonky dishware.

If you want a leaky mug, I'm your man.

I want a challenge, Ryan.
I spoke to Becca,

and she said that she got
a new account last week.

Well... Becca gives great
Christmas presents.

Christmas presents. Okay.

Hmm. Who wants a bribe?
Who wants a bribe?

Oh.

Whoa. What?

Hold on. What is... Is that...

Nani Rose's shortbread
with lime and coconut.

Yeah, I can only make them
when Jason is out of town,

and I limit myself to one per tea break.

One. One.

Ah...

One...

- Come on.
- I'll think about it.

Think faster.

Bring back my tin.

[sighs] All right.

[sniffs]

Ooh.

Yeah, I'm not eating that.

Okay. [Clears throat]

[Astrid] I knew exactly
when Will was going to propose.

How? Like, you felt it?

- I found the ring receipt. Yeah.
- Oh.

He has this habit of dumping his pockets

on my dresser at night. Still does it.

Little piles left behind,
whenever he's not deployed.

Mm-hmm. A man who
makes you clean up for him

does not get to surprise you.

It was still exciting being proposed to.

- Seeing what he picked out?
- [Tiny] Mm-hmm.

Well, tonight we get to see

what Jason has in store
for Savvy's finger.

Oh, no, we don't.

That man totally forgot our anniversary.

Or he's a really good actor,

and this is just part of the whole thing.

For what? Like a Christmas proposal?

And he better make this good,

because I'm not sure
he's even worthy of you.

Five years, gal.
How much time do you need?

You know, sometimes I worry

you are making yourself
smaller for him, Savvy.

Getting into a Jason-sized box,
seeing things his way.

He got me where I am.

He helped me focus to get my IT degree.

Don't sell yourself short.
You were there, too.

Honey, do you have
your own plans for the future?

Like, for what you want?

Well, what she wants is a ring, Astrid.

Oh, no, no, no.
I am not getting my hopes up.

Although, he did tell me
to wear something sexy.

Oh, there is this boutique
a few doors down

that has the sexiest little dress.

- You should get it.
- Oh.

- [laughing]
- [phone ringing]

Uh, it is my boss.

- Hi, Ryan.
- Ryan, she's on break.

[Ryan] Hey, if you can
make it back in ten,

there's a potential
new client. She's a chef.

A chef?

I am on my way.

- I have to go.
- Wait, but your dress.

That's just gonna have to wait.

Bye, Astrid. Bye, mama.

Hey, it's Tiny

when we're out just being the girls.

- Okay, mom.
- Ugh!

- Are you staying?
- Yeah, of course.

Oh, well, that's why you've always been

like a real daughter to me.

- Uh...
- The good one.

[laughs]

Because I buy vitamins from you.

And before that, I bought
overpriced candles.

And before that, cheap-ass leggings.

- You hurt my heart, Astrid.
- Okay.

But I do have this new energy formula.

Made me think of you.

Perfect for the, um, busy mom.

And it's only $32 a month.

Hm?

Because it's-it's more cute

than we, our company...

[up-tempo music]

Chef Lucia?

[chuckles] Yes?

I'm sorry.

I was just, I was surprised. Hi!

I'm Savannah Sheldon.

- I am a big fan.
- Oh.

I-I was just about to
introduce the chef to the team,

but it seems as though you do not need

- an introduction, Savvy.
- Oh, no.

[chuckles]

Oh, yeah. Oh, right here.

Uh-uh, Savvy is a good designer,

and I thought I'd give her the opportunity

to pitch to you as well,
because she is also a cook.

Oh, just at home.

In my spare time, nothing big.

What do you like to cook?

Oh, anything, everything.

I mean, I have all of your cookbooks.

Your cioppino recipe is a masterpiece.

- So garlicky and balanced.
- And how do you alter it?

- Oh, I would never.
- Oh, come on, fess up.

Every cook worth her salt alters
a recipe to her own taste.

Otherwise, it's just a grocery list.

Saffron. I like to add saffron.

I know that it's not proper Italian.

You're veering into Caldeirada
territory with that addition.

I know, I know, but I'm a fusion girly.

- What can I say?
- Huh...

[laughs]

Should I get a translator
in here for the rest of us?

Because you two with the lingo.

I need a personalized, branded website.

My restaurant has one,
my publisher has one,

but I don't have one that
represents me and my brand

as a personality.

We want to give Chef Lucia
several to choose from,

so you're all gonna be competing.

A bake-off, if you will.

[chuckles]

So, now, let's begin
by exploring your vision.

Who, uh, who would like to start?

Um, chef, what inspires you?

Well, cooking is

putting your heart on a plate.

We express ourselves

to nourish those we love.

And we feed ourselves. That's key.

[upbeat music]

What are you doing?

Do you know how to fix stoves?

Doesn't matter who you ask, baby girl,

this beast has baked her last biscuit.

- That was Nani's.
- Yeah, exactly.

It's older than both of us combined.

I love that stove.

You're always attached to old stuff.

I tried, Savs, I really did.

It's time to pour one out and move on.

You should get ready.
We have a reservation.

So many great meals
came from that oven.

Are we still talking about this?

Look, I know how much
that oven meant to you.

I thought it'd be the perfect gift for today.

And I left work early to make it happen.

Happy anniversary.

- Thank you.
- All good, babe.

- Just give me five to change.
- Hm.

Oh, um, this was hanging from
the door when I got back here.

[instrumental music]

Is that a new dress?

[Savvy] Yeah, Astrid got it for me.

I would have went up a size.

I knew you wouldn't get anything new.

Well, I was going to,
but I got called in to work.

Actually, it's really exciting.

You know, you've had the same shoes

as long as I've known you.

We live in a museum to your granny.

Nothing changes
unless someone forces you.

Let's be nice tonight.

I'm nice. Just also real.

- Oh, no, we didn't order this.
- [Jason] I called it in earlier.

Easier to avoid temptation

if you don't even look
at the menu. Right?

A tip from my trainer.

Right, um

did you tell your trainer
about your new punching bag?

Oh, yeah. You saw my post, right?

It's awesome. Everybody at
the dealership was jealous.

Well, I had to order this frame special.

It took months to get there.

I'm gonna have to book times
for the dudes

to come swing by my office.

Worth it.

Speaking of worth it...

I have something for you, too.

Savvy...

I loved you for half a decade,

and I want to invest in our future.

Me, too.

[chuckles] Oh...

Oh, wow.

I want to support you
in becoming your best you.

[instrumental music]

Because... you don't think
I'm good enough?

Because I know you're self-conscious

about how you look.

It's a generous amount. The certificate.

They do cool sculpting,
filler, personal training.

Get anything you want.

As long as it makes me smaller.

As long as it makes you happier.

Jason, this is dated today.

Well, yeah, I had to go by
after work because I...

- Because you forgot.
- You know me, babe.

- I forget everything.
- Not if it matters to you.

You matter to me.

I don't feel like that's the truth.

I don't think that you love me.

Not the real me.

Five years. Come on, now. Be real.

Yeah, five years, Jason.

I actually thought that
you were gonna propose.

[chuckles] What? Uh...

We're not ready for that yet.

Babe, be serious. You...

I can't do this anymore. That is my truth.

What is going on with you?
Would you calm down?

Being with you is about as nourishing

as this iceberg lettuce.
It's empty. No substance.

And I'm sorry, it always
leaves me unsatisfied.

Excuse me?

This whole year, we've
just been growing apart.

And instead of you loving me,

you've tried to turn me into
something that I'm not.

I'm done pretending.

I need more than this.

- People are staring.
- Let them stare, Jason.

I don't care. I am done.

I'll leave your stuff on the porch.

So what? You're gonna be by yourself?

If that's what it takes.

It's time for me to live my own life.

Whatever that looks like.

- Was I temporarily insane?
- He's an idiot.

Breaking up with him
took courage. Be proud of that.

Okay, but I invested,

so many years.

And what do I have now?

A makeover voucher.

You should burn that damn thing.

Don't do that! That is money!

Would you burn money?

Give me the filler!

Do you think that I'm in a rut?

Right now, you are in your bed.

And that is the right place for you to be.

Look, you'll know when to get up,

and then we'll figure the rest out.

Mm-hmm.

Hi.

Um, do you think you could
give me some advice

about fixing stoves?

Mine is, um, kind of vintage.

Yeah. Yeah. I can see that. Um...

- May I?
- Yeah.

What is this, Victorian
or medieval, maybe?

I know that it's silly to try to fix it

when I can just buy a new one.

Oh, no, I, I get it. Trust me.

Sometimes you just get
attached to things for reasons.

- Right.
- Yeah.

For me, it's all about this old palm sander

that used to be my great uncle's.

It's worn in just right,

reliable, strong. Wouldn't give it up.

Well, this oven wasn't exactly reliable.

Ah. [Laughs]

- It's okay.
- [Jason] Savvy?

- Hi.
- Uh, what are you...

Upgrading my kitchen.

And moving ahead.

You?

Oh, um, this is my colleague, Leah.

- She needed help with her...
- Pipes.

Mm-hmm. Yeah.

And apparently, Jay is very handy.

Oh, just don't let Jay
anywhere near your stove.

Savvy, please don't.

Um, do you guys rent out...

What is it we need again, Jay?

A pipe cutter?

Um, I think you'd want
that counter over there,

but I don't actually work here.

Wait, what?

I was just having a nice time
talking to you.

Oh, I see.

Okay.

Well, thanks. Bye.

Your ex?

- How did you know?
- Been there.

And those eyes had a lot to say.

- I am such an open book.
- No, it's a great quality.

Trust me.

- I'm Isaiah.
- Savannah, uh, Savvy.

Nice to meet you, Savvy.

Um, I could still help you
with your stove parts,

even though I've just been
revealed as a civilian.

I really feel like I have to go.

Fast. But thank you.

[upbeat music]

[Savvy] He's got a next chick
after two weeks.

Oh, maybe he had a side chick all along.

Uh, not helping.

I mean, what are the odds
that I would run into them

the first time I decide to go out?

Well, you did go to the hardware store

right next to where he works.

I need support, not victim-blaming.

Where is Astrid, anyway?

I-I'm supporting you.

You want a magnesium chew?

I'll give you the whole bottle at cost.

Hey. Hi. What'd I miss?

Savvy, hardware store.

Jason, new chick.

Jason, what the hell, you dick.

Well, she did go to the hardware store

right next to where he works, so...

Okay, not now, honey.

She was like this miniature person

with these gumdrop boobs

and a butt that would fit in my pocket.

I knew that's what he always wanted.

Oh, honey, don't do that to yourself.

Finally make it out to the store,

I don't even get my stove fixed.

I mean, how am I
so overwhelmed by one thing?

That is depression.

I've got some St. John's-wort
right here in my...

Okay, not now, Tiny.

What's in the bags, Astrid?

Oh, Will's home on leave
this weekend for the holidays.

What?

Oh, I didn't even know,
I'm the worst friend.

Oh, no, look, you're a friend
that's fresh out of

a five-year relationship. You get a pass.

Yeah, but you've been
Will-less for four months.

Uh-huh. So you have some naughty
lingerie in them bags.

I haven't seen any in forever. Are they...

Are they Bluetooth enabled now?

Like, your hoo-ha

has not been touched in four months.

Please use now before it self-combusts.

Oh, yeah, the bags are
full of super sexy things,

like tube socks and Will's fave snacks.

When you've been married for 12 years,

it's all just a tired, mushy pile of mess.

Ah. Snacks can be sexy.

Do not sleep on snacks.

He comes home exhausted
and wanting comfort.

Enough said in front of
your mother, though.

Me?

- I'm just one of the girls.
- [phone chimes]

Mm-hmm.

Ugh, I have to go to work.

Hey, you are doing it, Savannah Joy.

Hmm. You are back out in the world.

Yeah, but I-I thought
that I would be good,

and then I saw him, and I am not.

Hmm.

- I just wanna be happy.
- [mouths] You will be.

Mwah.

Mwah.

[instrumental music]

What's that face?

Oh, that's my thinking face.

No, do not set her up on a date.
She said no.

What do you take me for? Oh, girl...

Don't be sassy.

I know what makes Savannah happy.

- Hmm.
- Okay.

- Okay.
- Okay.

Okay.

[Ryan clears throat]

Hi.

- Empty?
- Uh, me or my tin?

No, there's a saying

that my grandparents
used to say in Trinidad.

Empty bag can't stand up.

I don't know what that means.

It means you have to have something

deep down inside you for you

to be able to handle the rest of the world.

You know what I'd like
deep down inside of me?

Baked goods.

Oh, uh, did you get my e-mail

about the updates for the pet stores?

Oh, yeah, yeah.
The online budgie week flyer

is gonna be fire.

Good, and what about

your pitch for Chef Lucia?

That deadline's tomorrow.

People have already started submitting.

- Including Becca.
- I know, I know.

Hey, isn't this the creative
opportunity that you wanted?

Yeah, it is, but I haven't
exactly been feeling inspired.

I mean, it's been a tough time

with everything with me and Jason...

Savvy.

Sometimes you just
have to do the thing first.

Then the inspiration comes afterwards.

When did you become a Zen master?

I'll say anything to anyone

to get some good food back in here.

Whither my patties,

my salsa, my snicker-doodles.

[instrumental music]

[Savvy] Mom? Is that you?

If that isn't you, I'm calling the cops.

Ooh-hoo! Well

what do you... think?

- You did this.
- Remember Marlon from church?

He works at that appliance store
right next to the craft store,

right next to the place
where we went to lunch.

I had no idea this was happening.

It was a surprise.

Come on, I told them

that you needed a good one

because my baby is a real cook.

I'm sure that the stove is nice,

but it's not gonna match my kitchen.

Oh.

If I change the stove,

then I have to change the counters,

then I have to
change the cabinets, and...

People don't just suddenly
change everything.

Yes, baby. In fact, some people do.

Not me.

You did, though.

You dumped that man.

You are capable.

Now, are you ready

to commit, not to Jason

but to change?

[instrumental music]

[Tiny] Yes, you are. [Savvy] Yes, I am!

[Tiny] Come on. I got you. Yeah.
Girl, I got you.

[Tiny] I got you. Come on. [Savvy] Yeah!

[Tiny] Okay. [Savvy] Whoo!

Wait! Stop! What are you doing?

♪ Yeah, I'm a limited edition ♪

Savvy's not stuck any more.

Apparently I've committed to a Reno.

You've committed to something.

A crime in some states I think.

Just watch me. I'm gonna Reno
my whole damn life.

[table thuds]

[laughing]

- [Savvy sighs]
- [Tiny laughs]

See, usually people drink wine
and then do the silly things.

I'm giving you wine
to stop the silly things.

You are pooping the party.

She needs to renovate that kitchen.

By herself? With a hammer?

Yeah, well, I was stalled
because I thought

Jason and I would renovate it together.

Thought we'd be married

and make all of our choices together.

Oh, honey, you can't wait for a man.

Unless he's deployed,
then that's all you get to do.

Oh!

You know, I didn't think that
I could do this by myself.

And I just did.

Well, part of the way.

You still got a long way to go. [Laughs]

And I guess you'll have to
go to another hardware store

where you won't run into
Jackass Jay and the next chick.

Well, there was
a very fine man at that store

that I would not mind running into again.

Savannah, you didn't tell us that.

[laughing]

Now, Jason, he might have been right.

I was stuck in a rut.
But he was a part of that rut.

- Yeah.
- Mm-hmm.

And maybe, just maybe,

there are other fine fish

floating in the fine old sea.

- Ohh!
- [laughing]

Ooh, just like there's something

floating in my glass.

That looks like drywall.

Extra fiber, am I right? [Laughs]

- Mhm-hm.
- Oh, no!

- Come on.

Oh, it felt good to be in the kitchen

to do what I want, when I want it.

You were flipping through cookbooks

before you could read.

I re-read some of Nani's last night.

And I saw something that I've
read a thousand times before,

but never really took it in.

Mm, let me guess.

- Balance.
- Yes. Mind, body, soul.

So, how?

Hm.

Well, um... Okay, soul is the kitchen.

And that's the heart of my home,
and I've already started that.

Mind?

- I want a promotion at work.
- Because of money?

I mean, no, that's nice.

But I just, I wanna enjoy my job again.

Oh, God, I feel that.

You could exercise, the body part.

No, I wanna focus on movement.
I mean,

sitting around all day is just awful.

Yeah, they call it the new smoking.

Get stronger, feel better, think clearer.

You know, I was thinking
about starting something.

Have you heard of, uh, pickle-ball?

- Pickle-ball?
- Mhm-hm.

It is the fastest growing sport
in North America.

The community center,
it starts next week.

I am gonna register us.

Tiny, how have you just been lying in wait

for a time to hit us with your flyers?

She's been on
a shadow pickle-ball mission.

Oh, pickle-woman camouflaged
herself... [laughing]

But is there a sport in the
world that sounds less sexy?

Absolutely not.

And we couldn't tell anyone

because that would be embarrassing.

- Hey, what about you, Astrid?
- Oh.

What kind of life Reno

are you gonna join me and Savvy in?

I need to think.

Okay, well don't think for too long.

Or otherwise I'm gonna have to
get that hammer out.

Oh.

- Bam! Bam! Yes.
- Whoa!

- Okay, no more sugar for you.
- Okay.

- [Tiny] Whatever.
- Okay.

It's inspirational.

You know, that she's
taking an opportunity

to change instead of settling.

Mhmh-hm.

I mean, I like Aunt Savvy how she is.

She's still gonna be her.
Just a happier her.

[Oscar] Okay, then.

Hey, you know where my charger is?

And it kind of made me think.

There's some changes
I wanna make too.

Yeah?

What kind?

Well, I was thinking about
going back to college.

Oscar needs you here.

[Astrid] Yeah, but not all the time.

I quit school when he was born

and now that he's starting junior high,

he's independent enough to...

Can we talk about this later

when he's in bed?

You leave, Will.

You go on and have another life

and I'm thankful for what you do.

I am, but...

I look for iPad chargers
and I buy tube socks.

I know.

I did have an idea to help
Savvy with her Reno.

My buddy Marcus's brother.

Oh, the cute contractor?

Yeah, sure.

Hi, chef, I know that
I missed the deadline,

but it was important to me that

I got my web design pitch to you.

Ryan sent all the others days ago.

I know, but I wanted to
deliver this in person,

just in case there was any chance

that you'd still consider it.

What happened, to make it late?

I had a personal setback.

But I, I promised myself I would do this.

I understand if you don't
have time to look at it,

but it mattered to me
that I followed through.

- Also, I brought a bribe.
- [both chuckle]

It's rasta pasta with spaghetti.

It has a trendy flair.

It's straight from Nani's cookbook.

It's one of her best and spiciest.

- Fusion girly, hey?
- That's me.

Look, thank you so much
for your time and consideration.

- Hi.

Um...

I heard someone named Savvy

needed help with their kitchen,

and I've only ever heard of
one person by that name.

[chuckles]

[instrumental music]

I know. It's a disaster.

No, it's not too bad.

I did this one job where the guy
made custom cabinets.

They were just like padded with

this lovely vinyl on the outside,

and on the inside it was...

[laughs]

Stacked-up milk crates.

Well, this was less wild swing
and more... necessity.

[both chuckle]

You couldn't save the stove after all?

I learned to love the new one, I guess.

- Right?
- Right.

May I take a look?

- Oh, yeah. Um...
- [chuckles] All right.

- Sorry. Sorry.
- [chuckles]

Oh.

Oh.

Ooh. Black salt.

Chili crisp.

Ceylon cinnamon.

So I was told you might
feed me, if I'm lucky.

What has Will been telling you?

He didn't have to say too much.

I mean, as soon as he said your name,

I figured I'd come by, take a look.

Well, I don't have a huge Reno budget.

It's all good. I mean, you may
go way back after all.

- Right?
- Oh...

No, I just got some time off

over the holidays before work

picks up, so...

I'll give you a bargain.

I mean, I will cook for you,
if it sweetens the deal.

I mean, I live alone,

and I know the name of all
my local delivery folks, so...

- What do you think?
- [chuckling]

So...

I would like to see

how you move

in your kitchen.

Um, well

kind of

with my feet, you know, like

this.

I mean, how you cook in your kitchen.

Oh, well why do you need to know that?

I like to customize
the kitchen to the chef.

You know, small jobs that

make the right space
for the right person.

Not the generic white box
showroom stuff.

Oh, you're an artiste.

I don't know about all that, I just like

to build things that fit people.

- Mm.
- So

show me how you work in here.

Oh.

Okay.

- Yeah, yeah, sorry.

[Astrid] Look, I swear it was Will.

I had no idea he was gonna
come by the house.

Men, can't keep secrets
when you want them to.

But keep every confidence
when you want the tea.

Well, he's so nice.

He's trying to get back
on his feet after a divorce.

Ooh, get in there, Savvy.

You know I am in no position

to even look at a man, you know that.

Okay, would you say
no to some ravaging,

rampaging, revenge sex?

Stop it, you perv.

Do the cardio so you're ready,

just in case the carpenter
wants to nail in some...

- [Tiny] Okay. Let's go...
- Oh.

Now how are you gonna get fit

if you aren't paying attention?

I'm not even playing.

Well, pickle-ball never sleeps.

[clears throat] Excuse me.

That was an illegal serve.

- Pardon me?
- Your elbow.

- Elbow...
- Way above your waist.

Uh, well, that's how I
learned how to serve.

I saw it in an online tutorial,

and I think that they know what is legal.

Well, you may have to check
your rule book, sweetheart.

My what?

Sweetheart?

A man just contradicted Tiny to her face.

And called her sweetheart.

[Astrid] She's holding a weapon.

- This is gonna be bad.
- Mhm-hm.

You are obviously gonna be a top athlete.

Obviously.

- You're a gifted athlete.
- That's true.

But I don't want all these
bad habits to creep in,

do you know what I mean?

May I show you?

- Um, sure.
- Okay.

[Ken] So listen, just grab
this racket like this,

get this arm out right here,
tuck that elbow in,

and I want you to turn,

I want you to bend those knees,

and drive right up like that.
See what I'm saying?

- [Tiny] So that's how it goes.
- Oh.

[upbeat music]

[Ryan] Savvy?

Oh, Ryan, I got delicious tarts

and some stew for our lunch.

Never mind that, never mind that.

Something more important is going on.

Wh-what is it?

Come with me, we've got to
go to the big boardroom.

- The big boardroom?
- The big boardroom, let's go.

Come on, come on, let's go, let's go.

Okay, all right. Okay, I'm going.

Big boardrooms. Big...

Oh.

[instrumental music]

Chef Lucia.

I wanna talk to you about
the work you did for me.

Sit down, Savvy.

Uh, Ryan, will you bring up
the site for me?

Uh, yes.

[Lucia] I love what you did, Savannah.

You're saying what I wanted said.

I see the love, the food, the nourishment.

I understand those things.

You gave me what I wanted without me

even being able to explain it to you.

- I just listened.
- No, you get it.

We have the same creative vision.

I would like you to design
and maintain my site.

Yes!

Thank you. Yes, yes, she will. Thank you.

One caveat, and I want to set
this out before we work together

because I did feel concerned
when you missed the deadline.

Anything.

I want reassurance that my site
will be your focus

as we put it together.

I am absolutely here for our project.

Together.

All right.

Oh...

Thank you.

Oh, I'm sorry, sorry.

Okay, let's get started.

So, what's our first move?

Well, um, the...

[Will] She's coming out of the yellow...

Yeah, yeah.

- Where are you going?
- Indoor tennis.

- She plays pickle-ball.
- Pickle-what now?

It's the fastest growing sport
in North America.

I didn't know you played sports.

I'm trying new stuff.

I'm not here for that long
before I leave again.

I won't be gone for that long.

Tiny and Savvy are expecting me

and I'm not letting them down.

Okay, I get it.

It's just...

That's a new look for you.

You look cute.

Thanks for noticing.

Oh, hell no. That's disgusting.

[chuckles]

[instrumental music]

Hey!

Good, get underneath that ball, Tiny. Oh.

- Out!
- That was in!

- And that's six!
- Out, and it's my serve!

[chuckles]

It was a nice try, Tiny.

You know, you can get it next time.

Hm. Maybe you should
get some glasses next time.

Good, good competitive spirit.
I like that about you.

Okay, everybody take five. Stay hydrated.

[Ken] All right.

Ooh.

I, uh, think Coach Ken likes you.

- Oh, grow up.
- How do you not see it?

Well, he believes in my athletic talent.

You all know that I played
volleyball back in the day.

He just... sees my talent.

Is, uh, "I've got talent"

written on your little back side?

Because that's where he was looking.

[chuckles] Okay, Savvy.

I was thinking about you today.

How is the kitchen battle going?

Oh, Isaiah started this afternoon,

so I'll see when I get home.

Oh, Isaiah.

Now that's how good name for a man.

- I hadn't noticed.
- He's very cute. I can confirm.

[Tiny] Mhmm.

Maybe we should, uh, tag along

and see the progress
that he's made today.

- No, no.
- Yeah.

You guys are not coming
over and making it

even more messily awkward

with my exceptionally cute carpenter.

- Okay.
- Oh, so you admit it.

Look, there are three items
on my mission list.

Mind, body, and soul.

None of them say man.

Oh, well, there's a lot of room

in all of those three things for a man.

Especially body.

Oh, my God, stop!

- [laughing]
- [whistle blowing]

Okay, break time's over.

Tiny, I need you right here with me.

I'm not playing without you.

- Never without you. Oh, my...
- [Ken] Let's do it.

- Shh.
- [kissing sound]

- Let's do it.
- I need my paddle.

- Let's go.
- Okay, and I'm coming.

Shh!

♪ Si-i-ilent ni-i-ight ♪

♪ Ho-ho-holy ni-i-ight ♪

[chuckles]

[Isaiah] I'm not done.

It's perfect.

I mean, the cabinets, the stove.

Eh, as perfect as I could get it.

The cabinet width is visually uneven,

so I centered it slightly to the right.

And here's a secret.

[gasps]

Custom wooden spoon drawer.

No way!

Because this is your favorite burner

and the hand that you'd
use to reach for a spoon

if you need one.

Isaiah, that is so special.

I just used some stuff I had in my van.

- Leftovers.
- [chuckles]

It's good for the budget, too.

You do some work,
and maybe we do some together.

Okay, but I need to pay you.

I will not take freebies.

But you still have to let me top it up

with some home cooking. Okay.

[laughs] Uh...

Jerk chicken and rice
with a side of doubles.

Breakfast, lunch,
and/or dinner of champions.

Hmm. All right.

Rice and peas, jerk chicken.

And some holiday protein snowballs

to keep the energy up.

I mean, reconstituted bachelors

would never say no to this.

Not now, not ever.

Okay, let me set you up
with some pepper sauce.

Um, tell me, what is
a reconstituted bachelor?

Uh...

I got a divorce about a year ago,

and I'm... still getting used to it.

- I'm sorry.
- No, no, it's, uh, it's good.

It's good. My ex is much happier now.

It's the right thing to do.

And sometimes people just

grow in different directions.

We actually met working in finance,

but I was miserable.

So when I wanted to make a big change

to start this business,

Kelly didn't understand.

Wait, you were a finance bro?

- I did not see that coming.
- I mean, me neither.

Trust me, this suits me much better.

Hardly feels like work.

No, I understand that.

I'm actually trying to find

a bit more of that in my own work.

Anything that gets you closer
to where you're meant to be

is a victory, right?

Mm-hmm.

[instrumental music]

Well, my advice

don't play it safe.

Sometimes it's the scary stuff,

the risks that really lead us
to where we're meant to be.

[Tiny] Savannah!

You left your sweater at pickle-ball.

Oh...

And it took both of you to bring it here?

Because of how much we love you.

- Yeah.
- Now who's this?

This is Isaiah.

Isaiah, this is Tiny,
and you already know Astrid.

- Nice to meet you. [Laughing]
- Ah...

- And to see you again.
- Yeah.

All right, well... Isaiah was just leaving.

Thank you, Isaiah.

- Very welcome. Uh, sorry.
- Yes.

- Goodnight. Uh...
- Mm-hmm.

See you Wednesday?

Yeah.

I knew he was fine.

Girl, why were you standing so close?

Mm-hmm.

Girl, the man made me a spoon drawer.

No way. [Gasps]

Oh, I see a man who knows
what he's doing!

Ah! Ooh, ooh! Ooh!

- Okay, all right.
- [squealing]

I cannot believe you two.

You're shameless.

This is not even my sweater.

Duh, we know.

- Oh...

Um, I might have taken
a crack at writing it.

This is your own copy?

Explaining the uses
of gianduja, and praliné,

and frangipane?

Mm, yeah, I wasn't lying when I said

that I read your books.

Okay, true confession time.

I sort of always really
wanted to work on cookbooks.

You know, write about cooking,

- and food.
- Why haven't you?

I guess I thought web design
was more practical,

and my ex thought so too.

And maybe back then I let his idea

of... "practical" become my idea of, well,

everything. [Laughs]

And now you're seeing it differently.

Yeah, it's funny how hindsight works.

I mean, I played it safe.

Safe guy, safe job, safe everything.

And it turns out that safe
is just another word for stuck.

And now I know what I really want.

And it may not make
sense to a lot of people,

but it feels so right.

This is a more confident person
than the one I met

that first day with her greasy
old fish sandwich.

Oh, I would eat another one
if given the chance.

- Me too.
- [both laugh]

I'm just, I'm trying to nourish my soul,

like you said.

Great answer, Savvy Sheldon.

I was thinking, why don't you come by

the restaurant again and try out

our holiday menu tasting?

- Really?
- On the house.

Bring a couple friends and a notebook.

Chef, yes, chef.

[laughs] Okay, let me show you this first.

Okay.

I thought that this would...

[instrumental music]

[door closes]

- Sorry I'm late.
- No worries.

Can always find yourself something to do

when you like to build and fix.

[laughs]

What is this?

Oh, your cookbook shelf.

It's a bit overcrowded
and those seemed special.

Nani's cookbooks,
they are the most special.

It might be the most
precious things that I own.

Is that her over there?

Mm-hmm. [Laughing]

She has Maya Angelou's eyes.

"Spice your dish with love,
and it pleases every palate..."

Ah, so that's why everything
you touch tastes so good.

- Oh...
- [both chuckle]

- Reminds me of my mom.
- Really?

Yeah, you never feel more loved

than when someone cooks
for you with their whole heart.

My mom, when she was able before,

used to cook me the sickest
pepper pot for Christmas.

And every year since, I've been
trying to buy it from somewhere

else but they just don't match hers.

Hers always add a certain
touch of sweetness to it.

- Mm, mamas do it best.
- Yeah.

Nani Rose was a great teacher.

She taught me right here in this kitchen.

You know, maybe
that's why I was resistant

to changing it all.

Well, the... the magic and the love

aren't in the cupboards and the stove.

Going by the way your food tastes,

your grandmother left them with you.

You gotta do something with that talent

with what she left you.

Oh, you see my talent?

- Yes, I do, Savvy Sheldon.
- [laughs]

You should do something with it.

Like what?

That is a great question.

Any thoughts on
where I can find an answer?

Well, I suppose we just keep working

on this old place till we figure it out.

- "We?"
- Yeah, I'm invested now.

You have unbelievable taste, buddy.

I didn't even know what
a truffle was when I was 11.

Yeah, and I thought they were chocolate

- until about 20 minutes ago.
- Oh! [Laughs]

Lucky Oscar grew up
with Aunt Savvy feeding him.

I have an adventurous palate.

You sure do.

You know what, I was thinking

I could show you how to
make some simple dinners.

- That's a great idea.
- Yeah, and it'll help

when Will goes off to work
and you go to college.

We're still figuring it all out.

You're serious about this, huh?

Well, everyone has to grow.

Even when you're in a relationship.

Or maybe especially then, right?

[music on speakers]

You know, maybe
when your kitchen's done,

you can celebrate with
a cooking class for Oscar.

Can Auntie Tiny come too?

Oh, I'm sure she'll insist on it.

Unless her pickle-ball coach calls,

then, uh, she drops everything.

Oh, you mean like how
she dropped us tonight?

- Yeah.
- Yeah. [Laughing]

Ah, so I'm just the back-up date.

[all laugh]

How is everything?

- Amazing.
- Incredible.

- Unreal.
- Oh.

How would you spark up that truffled

pasta, Savvy?

Um, I'd maybe add a sour component

to set it all off.

Maybe a tiny bite
of jicama slaw on the side.

Why don't you come see
my kitchen in action?

We'll talk to the salad
station about your slaw.

Would anyone else care
to see the magic?

Me?

You know what, I'll come too,
just to make sure

he doesn't stick
his fingers in the tiramisu.

- [all laugh]
- All right, come on.

Have you ever been in a kitchen before?

No. Not yet.

Can't wait to see it though.

And your Aunt Savvy has really

been helping you improve...

[laughs]

So... Savvy.

[chuckles] Am I that obvious?

I'm out of touch with
the whole dating thing, man.

It's been way too long.

You know she just got out
of a bad situation-ship, right?

I don't even know
what a situation-ship is.

Her ex-boyfriend moved out
not too long ago.

It was tough on her.

She's been picking up the pieces.

Yeah, she mentioned that.

And you're okay being the rebound guy?

[sighs] I hadn't really
given it much thought.

Just about Savvy being pretty special.

So I'm looking out for you.

I appreciate it.

It rarely works out for the rebound guy.

You know what I'm saying?

Yeah.

Yeah.

and Gerb's Animation.

This is what happens

- I still have Chef Lucia.
- One word.

- Nice try.

I got distracted.

- You okay?
- Yeah.

He broke my heart
and I put it back together.

Getting beaten in pickle-ball
is literally nothing.

Savvy.

Savvy.

♪ Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah ♪

- Hi.
- Hey.

Hey. Um, is everything okay?

Yeah, I hope it's okay
that I came by. I missed you.

I know it's only been
a couple of hours, but I did.

Y-yeah, no, that's, that's okay, um...

I was just relaxing, gonna
watch a movie or something.

Well, can I come in and relax... with you?

[sighs]

Um...

Savvy, I would

love to relax with you.

It's... it's just...

I really care about you.

And... I don't wanna be the rebound guy.

Are you sure that you're over Jason

and that you're ready for this?

Absolutely.

Jason is my past,

and I don't know what I feel

about this, whatever this is.

But I know what I feel about you.

Is it good?

Oh, it's very, very good.

[both chuckle]

Well, I'm glad you're not
a client anymore.

- Because of the whole...
- Shh...

Mind.

And we make the little
sticks out of the big sticks.

And that is how you julienne.

[recoding stops]

Aunt Savvy, you're like a real chef.

Your job is so cool.

Oh, I wish that was my real job.

Why can't you? I don't-I don't get it.

Hey, it's time for bed.

Go tell your mom I'm heading out.

- Okay.
- [laughs]

[notification dings]

[intriguing music]

Oh...

I bought you a few more hours. [Exhales]

But I really need those
Alotta Body changes.

The ones you're supposed
to do yesterday?

- I know, I...
- And before you even try...

You can't food bribe your way
out of this one,

not even with a full turkey dinner,

mashed potatoes,
gravy, Yorkshire pudding.

I know I can't.

Where is that hunger to beat Becca

and take the top coding spot?

- It's gone.
- Uh...

That, that is not something
you tell your boss,

even if he is your biggest fan/friend.

I know, but... I can't keep doing this.

Have you been drinking some
expired eggnog or something?

[instrumental music]

- What's going on?
- Ryan, I'm serious.

I think I need to quit.

How is this happening?

You just asked me for more accounts,

and then you absolutely crushed them.

Yes, and you know what that taught me?

That I need to follow my heart

or my soul, both, really.

Look, you're a great boss,

but this job is just not
how I wanna spend my time.

Okay. Fine.

Tell me, w-what is
your cockamamie plan?

I don't know, but it involves food

and cooking

and, I don't know, maybe
even some cookbooks

because that's what lights me up.

Thank you for everything, Ryan.

[mellow music]

Are you saying I should

pursue a career in wonky pottery.

[chuckles] No, I'm definitely
not saying that.

Unless that's something you wanna do.

Friends?

Friends.

On one condition.

You bring me some lunch
from time to time.

Oh, I think that I can handle that.

Okay.

What's wrong?

Looks like more than a pickle-ball loss.

Surprisingly perceptive.

I know you Savvy Sheldon.

Whether you like it or not.

I, uh, quit my job today.

Did you get another?

No.

Couldn't hurt, I guess.

Sorry, it's probably cold by now.

- [sighs]
- You wanna talk about it?

Uh, there's something
I think I might wanna do.

Anyway

the real question is

why are you on my steps?

[sighs] Nothing happened
between me and Leah.

I messed up with you,

and I'd like...

I'd like a chance to make it right.

Jason... [sighs]

We were not right for each other.

I mean, we're too different.

Five years?

We got along pretty well.

That's because I don't think
you ever really saw me.

I mean, how could you have?

I never really saw her.

Until I had to pick myself back up.

But I've changed.

I miss you.

No.

No, you miss what we had
a long time ago.

So you always said that I was stuck.

And that I would never change,
but now I have.

Somebody got smart.

[both laugh]

And when all else fails,
read your granny's cookbooks.

- Come here.
- [Savvy chuckles]

Isaiah!

Um...

Uh, this is, uh, Jason.

It's good to see you again.

Have we met?

Here's your key.

I can email you the invoice.

I'll leave you to it.

Isaiah.

What was that?

[pensive music]

[light switch clicks]

[music continues]

"With room to dance."

[dial tone drones]

[Isiah's on voice mail]
Hi, you've reached Isaiah.

Please leave a message.

Isaiah.

This is the most beautiful
thing that I've ever seen.

Call me back, please.

[disconnection tone beeping]

[keys clicking rapidly]

[notifications pop]

[instrumental music]

[Astrid] And just nothing?

No, I-I called, I sent texts.

I called again, nothing.

It's definitely a no to taking Jason back?

- Tiny...
- Well

a man in the hat
is worth two in the bush.

Okay, don't listen to her.
She doesn't know Isaiah.

Not yet. That is up to Savvy.

And what do I do?

Okay, let me see if I can help.

Through the man grapevine.

That's almost as powerful as ours.

Okay.

You know, I've never quit a job in my life.

That's because you've
never worked for anyone.

You just sold to everybody that you know.

[chuckles]

Maybe that's a good job for you.

Do you want to join the vitamin biz?

I'll let you know after this meeting.

Ryan just told me the news.
I'm getting a new exec.

Some chirpy little pain
in the tuchus called Becca.

Becca's great.

What, what's going on with you?
Why quit?

Because I wanna work
with you, Chef Lucia.

You know that I work hard,
and I will do whatever...

I will go above and beyond, the whatever.

I like working with you a lot, Savvy.

But that doesn't mean I have
spare positions on my staff.

[sighs] I understand.

But you told me, though.

You said that it's important for a chef

to trust their own tastes.

And to express ourselves.
That's what I'm doing.

And maybe I still can't see the result.

Actually, I did send the video you made

to my contacts at the food channel.

Maybe we'll do a show together.

I can promise you more
innovation and more laughs.

And I promise to put my heart

into every single thing that I do.

All right.

- [upbeat music]
- Really?

Really.

So you'll reach out to him?

I'll try, yeah.

Savvy deserves a chance
to explain herself, at least.

Hopefully more.

- Thank you.
- You're welcome.

[mellow jazz music]

What's this, and who is it for?

Uh, that's your Christmas present.

Yeah, it's this charger cord organizer box.

Cool.

- Yeah.
- [Astrid laughs]

[laughing]

Hmm...

Now, this was supposed to
be your Christmas present.

I just got the dock because I saw

that Oscar needed it.

- [laughs]
- Yeah.

You're gonna need it for college.

I, I thought you didn't want me to.

[laughs]

Astrid, I'm scared.

If you change,

the new you won't want old, stuck me.

[mellow music]

I'm still your wife. I'll always love you.

I'll just be wearing a cool
adult sleek backpack

and carrying a couple
textbooks while I do it.

Mm... that sounds kind of hot.

- Oh, really?
- Yeah.

[laughs]

[instrumental music]

[knocks on door]

- Come in.
- [door opens]

Hey.

I... wanted to return this.

On Christmas Eve?

I... heard you wanted to see me.

I did.

Because you see me.

[mellow music]

Isaiah, working on this kitchen together

it's the happiest I've been in a long time.

I felt so understood.

Well, you were, uh... a great client.

You make out with all your clients?

Only the ones that make top pepper pot.

How did you know it was from me?

It was sweet.

The question is, was that heart?

Or just brown sugar?

What do you think?

[sighs]

There's nothing going on
between me and Jason.

Are you sure?

He was never the guy for me.

I never cared about jumping into
a relationship again.

I was just trying to sort myself out

and then you came along.

I don't wanna miss out
on something special

just because of bad timing.

Isaiah, I've changed so much.

I cannot tell you how much bolder

and more confident I am.

You are not a rebound.

You are

a whole new...

[laughs]

Wonderful direction.

[instrumental music]

[singer vocalizing]

Can I show you how much
I love my new kitchen?

Sounds promising.

Thank you all for being here

The launch of my sixth cookbook.

- [all cheering]
- It is special for many reasons.

But the most exciting of these,

my wonderful new collaborator,

Savvy Sheldon.

- [Tiny] Yeah! [Laughing]
- [applause]

It is rare to find someone

that you can collaborate with
as effortlessly

as I have with this brilliant
breath of fresh air.

This book would not have been possible

without you, Savvy.

Now, get on up here.

- [all cheering, applauding]
- Hey!

- Savvy!
- My baby.

[sighing] Oh...

Are you one of Savvy's friends?

Oh, no, I'm her mother.

Her very, very proud mother.

You know, you look kinda pale.

Tiny, show her some of those vitamins.

Baby, hold on to that,

- for one second.
- Mm-hmm.

I have this right here.

Thank you, Chef Lucia.

You have opened up my world

by opening up your kitchen.

And thank you, Nani Rose,

for being the first person to show me

how to cook with love.

Thank you, Tiny.

You have shown me
life beyond the kitchen.

She's always hated to cook, y'all.

It skipped a generation.

[all laugh]

And thank you, Astrid and Oscar,

who's given me light
and life and bellies to fill

to regular applause.

- Mm-hmm.

To Isaiah

who has elevated and renovated

much more than just my kitchen.

I promise to keep you happy
and well fed,

[all laugh] for a very long, long time.

Cheers, everybody. [Laughs]

[all whooping, cheering]

Bravo.

Congratulations. I'm so proud of you.

You looked so beautiful up there.

You wanna get out of here?

I mean, there's all this delicious food.

I have doubles and jerk at home.

Handmade by a celebrity chef.

- Okay, okay.
- [chuckling]

I'm a lucky man.

You know, I have
a beautiful kitchen island

that I'd love to show you.

Oh, I like the sound of that.

Mm, I bet you do.
