We're going after $50 million.

It's the largest donation in ACC history.

I will see you in Paris, Ms. Martin.

I can't go to Paris.

Knightley?

What-- what are you doing here?

I'm your closer.

You're welcome.

Don't you have family in town?

Why are they in Paris, by the way?

Because my mother passed away.

It was 10 years ago.

I know you

left so many what-ifs behind.

Stay in Europe, and don't come back until you know for sure

you're meant to.

Chasing those what-ifs, they led me back to you.

Chels, you ready?

I'm coming in.

CHELSEA: OK, OK.

Wow.

You're not dressed yet?

Oh, you are dressed enough for the both of us.

This is all your fault.

You're welcome.

Listen, I just need, like, 20 more minutes.

Can you please fend off the circus for me?

Asking me for a favor when I am wearing this?

Please.

Fine.

But only because I love love.

OK, I'm back.

So where was I?

You know some of this already, but--

I want to lay it all out there, the whole truth.

I told you my parents' love story.

And I want to tell you one of mine.

11 years ago, I met a boy in Ireland.

He surprised me at every turn.

He spent all day shearing sheep, but he could talk

Kierkegaard into the night.

His hands were rough from physical labor,

but he played piano beautifully.

I didn't really get his taste in music.

What do you mean you've never heard of Westlife?

No.

The boy band.

Hugely successful.

I--

I'll be right back.

But when he sang to me--

Well, for me, it's waking up beside you

--mm, I went weak in the knees.

To know that I can say "I love you"

In any given time or place

It's little things that only I know

Those are the things that make you mine

And it's like flying without wings

'Cause you're my special thing

I'm flying without wings

And even though we both knew I was leaving,

even though we tried not to fall--

we fell.

I'd marry you tomorrow if you let me.

He's the first man I ever met who wasn't afraid of commitment.

He talked about our future so much,

it made me feel brave, like the life I'd always dreamed about

was at my fingertips--

a family, a home, a soulmate.

I mean it.

I'll prove it to you when you come back.

I meant to go back, I really did.

But after Mom died, I was just too consumed by grief

to even think about Ireland.

And 10 years later, here I was, back in Cary.

It was still just as beautiful as the day I left.

And I felt-- well, if I'm being honest, I felt terrified--

They have food here, right?

I am starving.

--because I'd finally kept my promise to come back.

But what if I was too late?

Don't get me wrong

If I'm looking kind of dazzled

I see neon lights

Whenever you walk by

Don't get me wrong

If I'm acting so distracted

I'm thinking 'bout the fireworks

That go off when you smile

Two Irish stews.

Thank you.

Would you like something to wash it down?

Do you want the full Irish experience?

Yes, please.

We'll have two pints of Guinness then, please.

Respect.

You hate beer.

You cannot say that around here.

OK, I need a strategy.

That is hot.

Oh, yeah, sorry, you got to let that cool.

Mm, mm.

Please help me.

I don't understand.

Isn't our strategy, "Go to the sheep farm

where Colin works and say hi"?

Well, I mean, we can't just, like, walk

up to him after a-- a decade.

Why not?

Because that would be insane.

What if he doesn't even remember me?

You were in love.

Yeah, but that was 10 years ago.

I-- I-- I don't know, maybe I should call.

Do you think I should call?

Sure, why not?

I mean, I don't have his number, but--

Then, no.

Not sure why you would suggest that.

Fine, what about socials?

Ah, yes, he is--

OK, he's all over the farm's account.

He doesn't seem to have a personal one, though.

Let's see.

Hello, there.

I'm Colin.

And this new arrival is Riley, who is one month old.

And he'd love to say hello to you.

You want to get down to Glencar Farms--

Mhm.

--and he'll be here waiting for you.

Won't ya?

Say "goodbye," Riley.

See you soon.

Aww.

Oh, my ovaries.

I know.

And we're not the only ones who have noticed.

Ugh, I know.

He's just a guy, Chels.

Why are you so nervous?

'Cause I don't know what to say.

And I never meet anyone without being fully prepared.

This isn't a work thing, OK?

You can't script this conversation.

That's what makes it so fun.

OK, this isn't fun.

- This is terrifying. - I meant for me.

Mm, thank you.

I told you you didn't like beer.

Mm!

Hi, this is Chelsea.

I can't come to the phone right now.

Please leave a message.

Martin, you alive in there?

Consider this a wellness check.

Forget to charge your phone or something?

You know, we still got a meeting we need to--

uh--

-sorry, I-- this was my colleague's room.

Um, must have been a misunderstanding.

You don't speak English, do you?

No, OK.

Well, have a wonderful evening.

Bonsoir, or whatever they say.

Um, why am I still talking?

This is a pathology.

Any chance it's contagious?

Funny.

Work Dude is blowing you up.

I got to call him back.

No, you are on vacation, remember?

It honestly stresses me out more not to check in on work.

Yeah, that is part of the problem.

OK, fine.

Fair. You know what?

Fair.

I-- I can be on vacation.

I can totally be on vacation.

Right.

Right?

Ireland?

None of my business.

None of my business.

It's none of my business.

Oh, come on, Martin.

Boring.

Boring.

Boring.

Not this one.

Hey, Martin.

She'll see it.

Mm, yeah, let's do it.

Ugh, sheep.

"Hot exes"?

There you go.

Thank you.

This place is so cute.

Thanks.

You again?

I got us some breakfast before either of us got hangry.

Made it meself.

A little bit of everything-- eggs,

rashers, beans, soda bread.

In that case.

So, wait, do you own this place?

My family owns the bar and the cottage,

and we rent this out to vacationers.

Sure, I'm just a bartender.

So are you related to Matty?

I was looking for him last night.

Sure, Matty was my granddad.

Well, passed away a few years ago.

You knew him?

Sorry.

Yeah, I drank his beer when I lived here one summer.

I actually even beat him at darts.

- You did not. - I swear.

He did come down with the flu the next day.

But I think that was probably unrelated.

Nah, you've earned the bragging rights.

What are yous up to this afternoon?

Can I, uh, give you a tour of the town?

We have plans.

Oh, do you know Colin O'Donahue?

Of course.

Girls are always looking for Colin.

He works on Glencar Farm.

Mm.

We're going there later today.

We are?

Yes, obviously.

I booked us a tour.

Well, when he disappoints you, I'll be here.

I, uh, didn't catch your name.

Oh.

I'm Chelsea.

This is Annabelle.

Thank you for breakfast.

You're welcome, Chelsea.

And I, uh, hope to see you later, Annabelle.

Thanks for that.

Yeah, call it even.

What do you mean you booked a tour?

A tour?

I mean, what am I supposed to wear?

Like, I can't just--

You always look great.

Well--

I think I love it here.

He's just a guy, Chels.

Yeah, I mean, he might not even be here.

Right?

Just--

OK, it says to meet the tour in the eastern fields.

So that way?

That way?

Look, people who know directions are wizards.

OK, which way is it?

I spent the first few weeks

being late to everything here.

Until Colin made me a compass.

He bought you a compass?

That is so sweet.

No, he made me one.

By hand.

Colin.

You like it?

Colin.

You like it.

I mean, do you have any flaws?

I love it.

All right, back to work.

OK, which way?

No, this way.

I love it.

Oh, I love it so much!

Ugh, if I fall down this hill--

You're fine.

You're not going to fall.

I told you this is a bad idea.

I don't have bad ideas.

Well, you're all very welcome to Glencar Farms.

My name is Deirdre, and I'm going to be

in charge of your tour today.

And if there's something--

I mean, I'm just gonna-- you know what?

I'm gonna lie low.

I'm gonna fly under the radar.

No one even needs to know I'm here.

- Sure. - Right?

This is a scouting mission, that's all.

Always doing research.

Chelsea!

Is that you?

I haven't seen you in--

Lord, how long has it been?

Seven or eight years?

10.

Aw, no, don't tell me that.

Oh, no, how can that be true when I'm still only 40?

You haven't aged a day.

Aw.

Deirdre, this is my sister, Annabelle.

Annabelle, this is Deirdre, who owns the farm.

And also remembers you.

Oh, I never forget my farm-stay kids.

It's a point of pride.

Right, come on.

Let's give your sister the tour.

Chelsea Martin, are they the only shoes you brought with you?

Oh, yeah.

This-- this whole thing was just a last-minute trip.

Yeah, well, you watch your step.

You remember.

You've cleaned out those barns.

Sorry about that.

Am I crazy? Is this crazy?

They're just shoes, OK?

Everything is fixable.

Stop looking for reasons to get out of this.

- I want to see the sheep. - Really?

Why?

Because they're cute.

You know what? It's fine.

It's fine. They're just shoes.

He's just a guy.

Anyway, as I was saying,

we're one of the largest operating

farms in Ireland with hundreds of sheep to watch over.

You'll notice--

Ugh, I forgot how bad sheep smell.

Look at them!

Their wool coats are the reason

they survive the climate.

But in the summertime, it can be a danger to their health.

But lucky for you, we're going to help them--

-out today.

Oh, and thanks to Compass here, we'll get them

to the sheds for the shearing.

Did she just say "Compass"?

It's a sign!

Signs aren't real.

Come on.

It's like it's leading you straight to--

Colin!

Our lead trainer and farm manager.

Chelsea, you remember Colin, don't you?

Anyone fancy trying their hand at shearing some sheep?

Me!

Me!

Chels, oh, no.

Come on, let's get you out of here.

No, I can't.

I'm not ready.

He's not just a guy.

What if he's the guy?

You good?

I got it.

Thanks, I'm good.

Well, that's a statement.

I mean, I like 'em.

I do, too.

Did you, uh, bring anything you can wear them with?

Ugh.

When did you decide to just

wear the same thing every day?

It's just easier.

It's boring.

In my line of work, boring is good.

I need to look reliable, not stand out.

The focus needs to be on the mission, the donation,

and not me.

Sure, but, um, what about when you're not working?

Ugh, I'm never not working.

OK, I just realized how depressing that sounded

right as I said it.

Listen, you look great in what you wear every day, OK?

You don't have to change anything.

You're already going outside of your comfort zone

just by being here.

Why are you handling me with kid gloves?

I'm not handling you with kid gloves.

Annabelle.

You went into panic mode back there, Chels, OK?

I haven't seen you that close to the edge

since we first tried to do the Mom tour.

This whole trip has been so--

I have loved having this time together.

I don't want you to shut down again.

Do you know why I wanted you to come with me?

Because I'm awesome and hilarious,

and everything is less fun without me?

Yes.

Yes, of course.

But-- I wanted you here because I knew that if I got scared

and I wanted to just back out, you wouldn't let me,

because you push me, Annabelle.

Wait, you like it when I push you?

No, I absolutely hate it.

But I know that I need it.

OK, then you have to go find Colin.

No, not yet, not yet, not yet.

Right now.

OK, how about we start with new clothes

to go with my new boots?

OK, fine.

What's the vibe?

You wear this because you want to look reliable.

How would you want to look now?

Uh, like I belong here?

We can work with that.

Chelsea Martin.

Hi.

I thought you'd forgotten about us.

Never.

Never, never, never.

I know it's been 10 years, but--

10 years, four months, and 23 days.

Mm.

Ugh, Colin.

Had to check you were real.

I thought I'd imagined you when you walked in.

I'm real, I swear.

Where you staying?

Breaker's Cottage.

Right.

I want to hear about everything you've been up to.

I'm just a bit busy at the moment.

Yeah, sorry.

It's a bad time.

No, no, no, no, no.

How about-- can I meet you for dinner in the pub?

So much to catch up on.

Yeah, I'd love that.

Great.

Give me a few hours.

I've still a few more sheep to wrangle.

7:00?

Sure.

Do you know why Work Dude is looking at my stories?

Knightly?

OK, forget about Knightly.

I'm going to dinner with Colin--

- tonight. - It's a date?

Well, I-- I don't know.

I mean, we didn't call it that.

What did you call it?

Dinner.

Oh, my goodness.

I mean, I haven't been on a date in a decade.

I-- OK, oh, gosh.

I feel like I might be having another panic attack.

OK.

No, I mean, look, you're a little flushed,

but your eyes are dry.

My heart, it's, like, beating so fast.

Chels, I think you might just be excited.

Wha-- Really?

- Mhm. - Really?

Chels.

I mean, I feel like I just got off a roller coaster.

You know, there was, like, all this fear.

And then there was all this adrenaline.

And now I just--

-feel so alive.

Promise me you will remember this if the date is a disaster.

OK, yeah.

It's weird because it's light out for so long here.

You don't want to be wearing night makeup when it's not dark.

There's a difference?

Look, let me try something.

I saw a tutorial online earlier.

Wait, are you experimenting on me now? 'Cause--

Ooh, you know what might look good on you?

Perfect.

Sherrie picked this out for me, and honestly I love it.

Wear it all the time.

Sherrie picked out your makeup?

We were shopping.

You go shopping with Sherrie now?

Sometimes, yeah.

Does that bother you?

You know Dad won't ask her to marry him without your blessing,

right?

Really?

And you think I should give it?

I mean, why wouldn't you?

OK, for starters, she paid to go out on a date with him.

It was a bachelor auction for charity, Chels.

Stop deflecting.

Stop therapizing.

OK, I just deflected again.

I don't know.

If you had asked me if he would ever fall for someone again,

ever, I would have said no.

I mean, you remember Mom and Dad together, how they were.

They were-- they were each other's everything.

No wonder you don't date.

You put a lot of pressure on relationships.

You're therapizing again.

That time, fair.

So what?

Dad's just supposed to be alone, then, the rest of his life?

That's so depressing.

What breaks my heart is he was her soul mate,

and she died thinking she was his, too.

Why is he stalking you, for real?

It's probably something important.

It might be about the Apolline account.

Mm, is that why he's all over my socials?

No, no, no, stop!

Can't go two days without seeing my face, can you, Martin?

Work Dude!

Little Martin.

I'm sorry, but Chelsea is unavailable to come to the phone

right now.

Give me-- excuse me.

Hi, sorry.

Oh, wow.

You going clubbing again, Martin?

You're looking, uh--

"Hot" is the word.

And thank you, that is my doing.

Hi, I'm sure you're calling about something

other than letting my sister embarrass me.

Uh, yes, I--

I am, yeah.

Since we're stuck waiting on the Apolline meeting,

I, uh, compiled a list of other Parisian companies

to target as potential donors.

Oh, smart.

So taking advantage of my vacation so you can

score some brownie points with Amy?

I'm just doing my job.

No, you're trying to do my job.

You don't take the lead on stuff like this.

How can anyone take the lead on anything with you around?

All right, just send me the list.

Sure.

And if you get a chance--

No, no!

No lists, no work.

She has a date.

A date?

You've only been there one day.

It's someone I knew before.

Oh, OK.

Well, is this, like, an online thing?

Did you warn him how intense you are?

Or did you catfish some poor guy into thinking you're chill?

You know what?

I can be totally chill.

Maybe just not with you.

Actually, no, I spent some time on a sheep farm

when I was here for my gap year after grad school.

Gross.

I hate sheep.

You do?

Yeah, they're not as cute as you think they are.

They smell, and they're mean.

Everyone's mean to you.

Do you ever think maybe that's a you problem?

Wait, so this is why you ditched me for Ireland?

What is this, the guy who got away?

Wait, really?

I guess we'll find out tonight.

A sheep farmer?

If you saw him, you would understand.

So what's the plan here?

You hit it off with your ex, and then you move to Ireland?

Quit the ACC?

Or does he move to Boston?

I mean, culturally, we're not that far off.

We do love our Irish roots.

Hadn't exactly thought that far ahead.

Oh, gosh, I'm sorry.

Bad signal. Oh--

Bye.

What if he's right?

He is not.

No, really.

I haven't thought this through, Annabelle.

I haven't. What am I doing?

Chelsea.

We hate him, remember?

And you're the place my life begins

And you'll be where it ends

I'm flying without wings

And that's the joy you bring

I'm flying without wings

Come on, wasn't that bad.

What-- hey.

Come here.

I'll never play that song again.

I promise, Westlife is dead to me.

Chelsea, please talk to me.

What are we doing here?

Don't overthink this.

No, but that's what I do, Colin, I overthink.

Because this-- us, it--

it doesn't make any sense.

In two weeks, I am going to France and then Spain.

And then if this PHC thing works out, I--

I'll be in the States for seven years, minimum.

And you're here.

And I can't ask you to wait.

Hey, hey, hey, hey.

You know why you're feeling like this, don't you?

Because you love me.

You do, admit it.

You love me.

We don't make any sense.

And?

And I'm scared.

Because?

Because I don't want to lose you.

I'm not going anywhere, Chelsea.

And in case you're wondering, I love you back.

Who's playing?

You're not a soccer fan?

Thought everyone watches it here.

I mean, "football."

Well, you got it right.

You're in the one county in Ireland

that also calls it soccer.

Hm, lucky me.

No, I'm the lucky one.

It's not every day an American woman knows soccer.

You should have seen me play.

I don't anymore.

Injury was it?

Isn't it always?

But you still watch.

You ask a lot of questions.

Only when I like someone.

You're smooth, I'll give you that.

You flirtin' with me, Annabelle?

No.

'Cause I want you to flirt.

You remembered.

Of course.

First one here orders the drinks.

Sorry, Col, your son needed to chase all of the birds outside.

Yes!

You didn't tell her I was coming, did you?

Well, I didn't think.

You lot come with me everywhere.

Sorry.

Hi, I--

Chelsea, I want you to meet Aoife--

Hi.

--Owen, Juney.

And the little one here is Rory.

That can't be.

Told you Colin would disappoint you.

You know, I was hoping to meet you and thank you.

You leaving is a big part of why Col and I got together.

Oh, it was?

He dropped you to the bus.

And 10 minutes later, I showed up

to find this beautiful, mopey boy maybe hoping you'd

come back, change your mind.

Hoping I'd skip the train.

It was a bus.

Yes, of course.

It was a-- it's a metaphor.

But I-- I had the program to finish.

You know, I had made promises to people.

I couldn't just walk out on that.

You said you understood.

Well, I thought I did, but I was young.

And an idiot.

The poor boy was heartsick waiting on you.

And thank goodness he was, because my cab never showed.

How long is it now?

About 10 years ago?

10 years, four months, and 23 days.

Why are you ordering more drinks?

We should get out of here.

Just leave?

He's married!

Wasn't wearing a ring on the farm, by the way,

and conveniently forgot to tell you when he asked you to dinner.

But I don't think it was on purpose.

You know, I wasn't like, 'hey, I'm back.

Let's be a couple again.'

So what, now we're just going to drink with them?

I got to see it through.

Why?

You can drink here with me.

You're working.

I'll quit.

Stop.

What about the game?

I was getting invested in the play-by-play.

You aren't seriously still watching Ryland's games,

are you?

This is about you and having drinks with your ex and

his wife and brood.

Isn't that deflecting?

Textbook, yeah.

Thank you.

Cheers.

Aren't they gonna get hurt?

Probably.

Ugh, when you've got so many, you've

no choice but just to let them learn their own lessons.

You're having wine?

Yeah, I actually hate Guinness.

- Blasphemy! - Since when?

I know, I know.

You know what, I tried to drink it the entire time I was here,

hoping my taste buds would, you know, change.

But throwing in the towel.

Well, I can't have more than one.

It knocks me out, and we have a baby to wake up for.

Did you always know you wanted so many children?

- No. - Yes.

OK, well, I was--

I was a city girl.

I went to school in Dublin.

I actually came here to write a book.

I feel like everyone thinks they'll write a book someday.

Well-- not me.

Not anymore.

So you gave up on your dream?

I prefer to think that I found a new one--

Col, the kids, and the farm.

It's everything I never knew I always wanted.

Hm.

I am happy for you, for both of you, truly.

What about you?

Did you get your PhD?

Are you a doctor now?

Uh, no, but she cures cancer.

OK, do not listen to her.

I do not cure cancer.

But I do raise money for cancer research and medical care

and, you know, that kind of stuff.

You're making a real difference in the world.

Thank you.

I'm trying.

And I-- I love my job.

I love it.

That's beautiful.

It sounds like where you're meant to be.

You're really all right?

The whole surprise wife and kids thing would

have thrown me into a spiral.

I mean, I'm only annoyed that we didn't have dinner.

You know what?

Colin and Aoife are adorable together.

They're perfect, actually.

Yeah, I feel like we should hate that.

I know, but I don't.

You know what I do kind of hate? What?

Sheep.

Mhm.

Are you going to tell Work Dude?

No, no, but you can't tell him he's right about anything.

It goes straight to his head.

Mm, well, you're both wrong anyway.

Sheep never did anything to anyone.

Well, we'll agree to disagree.

I'm so glad we did this.

I really am.

I mean, I was so worried, but I just feel lighter now, you know?

Like, I don't have to wonder anymore.

Mom was right.

I wasn't supposed to end up with Colin.

He deserves someone like Aoife, who wants

three kids and a million sheep.

In my 20s, I was so enamored with him,

I never even questioned the life that came with him.

And to be honest with you, I would have been miserable here.

No, uh-uh, you do not get to go back

to "work all the time" Chelsea.

Who says I'm doing that?

You're recontextualizing this whole thing

now that you know he's married.

And yes, I'm therapizing, but you

need it, because I saw your face when you thought it was a date.

You were so excited, which means there's some part of you--

a big part--

that still wants romance.

So-- Colin wasn't my only what-if.

Maybe I should reach out to the other two.

Yes.

CHELSEA: I reached out to my other

what-ifs that night--

Sebastian and Marcos.

I couldn't even sleep, hoping that one of them

would reply to my messages.

So I distracted myself with work.

Shh!

Some people are sleeping, you know?

Ah, well, not you.

You're up at 2:00 AM, texting me while you're on vacation.

It's the only time Annabelle won't yell at me.

What are you doing up so late?

Uh, your date went well, I assume?

It was a train wreck.

He's married.

And he didn't tell you?

No, it's fine, it's fine.

It's good, actually.

Turns out I hate sheep, too.

Yeah, well, of course you do.

You're-- you're a sane person.

What about you?

What's your excuse?

Why are you up so late?

What About Bob?

The movie?

The best movie.

What About Bob?

Knightley, no.

No, I hate that movie.

No, I can't even be in the same room when it's playing.

What?

OK, no, I take back what I said about you a minute ago.

You're not sane.

You're insane if you don't love What About Bob?

How can you like that movie?

Seeing Colin was scary,

until it wasn't.

I was too late, and that was OK because Ireland

wasn't where I was meant to be.

We're both trying to help the same people.

We even work the same way.

You had pop-ups to find the perfect foundation shade.

I had an answer to one of my what-ifs,

and it felt good--

We need to do pop-up dermatology

screenings for early--

- -which makes sense.

I love research.

And that's what this whole journey

could be, a fact-finding mission to figure out what I wanted,

what I needed.
