Original subtitles

They're playing at the Grandview tomorrow.

They sure are. - What time?

It's at 8:00.

No. I would love to go,

but I finally have my Saturday at the pop-up.

I've got jewelry to sell, people picking up orders.

Wait, she's not a yellow.

I wish I could go with you.

I haven't been to a concert in... forever.

Oh. That's okay.

Speaking of...

You'll never guess what I found last night.

What? Not another gray hair.

No.

Take a look.

It has been nearly three months, and I realized

I never gave Tim back his shirt.

Hm.

Which then reminded me I never gave back Shawn's water bottle,

which reminded me...

Here.

Alexandra Brown!

Is that all stuff from your exes?

That's not even the issue.

Oh, wait, I have to go

leave a note for my delivery guy.

Holding on.

It's not just that I've kept the stuff,

though that is a problem.

It's the stuff itself.

I think I may be having a relationship revelation.

Revelation? Okay.

Well, that sounds intriguing.

- Ah! - What?

That noise Jack.

Just needs oil. It's fine.

It's old and it's creaky,

which you will be, too, if you don't get out more.

Come on. It's Friday night.

Have dinner with your little sister.

I would, but I got to pick up hours

for the bonus competition.

Okay. I don't think you're listening to me,

because what could be more important

than hanging out with your sister?

Jack?

Hello, Earth to Jack. Are you still there?

Because last time I checked, you loved me.

Hold on.

I'm at Note Lady's.

Ah, good luck.

Every... single... time.

Hey, did I tell you that she left me a multiple choice note

asking which cupcake flavor I would like

during Driver Appreciation Week?

Oh, it's, like, really thoughtful.

Thanks.

What?

Yeah, but I would like to just be able to do my job

without having to think about frosting flavors.

Hm. And what does that make you?

So is there any chance that you could come over

and help me figure out me?

Because I think that...

I rerouted the minute I saw the box of shame.

Oh.

He didn't buzz me.

Does he even read my notes?

Looks good in shorts, though.

I guess.

But he's still a curmudgeon.

I'm not a curmudgeon, Hayley.

Jack, it's cupcakes.

No, I just...

Listen, I'm on a tight schedule,

and I don't have time for all the...

instructions and baked good quizzes, all right?

Oh, I bet you had time to eat them, though.

Yeah. What am I, a monk?

Chocolate with strawberry frosting, obviously.

Oh, just like mom used to make.

The same mom who told you to look after

your little sister in the big city?

Fine. Dinner at 7:00. My place.

But if I lose this competition to Irina.

I will never hear the end of it... in Russian.

Okay. Here we go. Brace yourself.

Oh Tim, the musician.

Oh Jonathan, the urban hiker.

Oh Kevin, the card shark.

Oh. Crystal deodorant... from Michael, the hot herbalist.

You loathe heavy metal.

You don't like to walk fast, much less hike.

You thought Poker Face and Texas Hold'em were just songs.

And natural products did not work for you.

Wow!

The truth comes out.

See, every item in that box

represents how I bent over backwards

to make those relationships work.

How much of myself I lost to make them happy.

Mmhmm.

What is it? Just-just say it.

Well, I don't want to sound like your therapist or anything.

Come on, therapize away.

Well, isn't it just so crazy that your whole M.O.

is creating this exact right piece of jewelry

for each customer.

You know, tuning into their needs.

But I don't pay attention to my own needs.

Wow. Seriously?

What is that?

Don't beat yourself up. We all do it to some extent.

We don't ask for what we want,

and we get mad when we don't get it.

If only I could design my life like I design my jewelry.

Mm.

Hm.

So, I think, you should reconsider coming

to game night tomorrow.

Another night of "Settlers of Cartagna"

with your friends calling me a resource hog.

I'm good.

Remember Sarah at my office?

She's, like, beautiful, smart, funny.

Yeah, she's great.

But you know what's also great?

Ooh. Mm.

This couch.

Come on.

You know, those setups never work out.

Well, maybe they could work out if you weren't so guarded.

You know, show a little bit more of that teddy bear

underneath that polar bear exterior.

I know it is still there.

Yeah.

Teddy bears get kicked in their stuffing too often.

But polar bears...

well, they're survivors and they have a better diet.

This is going to sound crazy.

Crazier than rubbing a crystal under my arms for some guy.

Okay, there's a GenZ-er in my office who showed me

this video trend on PicByte called "Fire and Aspire"

Oh, wow.

No. See, I am way too millennial for this already.

Listen, it's an all-generational trend.

You do this, "Fire and Aspire" thing

where you manifest a new mindset

to be ready for the connection you really want.

So you get rid of the old, like literally and symbolically.

And then, you call in the new.

Uh, okay. But how does that work?

You burn stuff.

Oh.

That's the fire part

and the perfect solution to your box of shame.

And then you focus on the qualities of the guy

that's right for you.

The aspire part.

Okay. Look, this woman did it.

Now she's engaged.

Wait, so you want me to take dating advice

from some lady who has a live chicken

in her profile photo?

Okay. She always wanted a farmer, and she manifested one.

Come on. It'll be fun.

Okay. If nothing else, you just get a chance to say out loud

what you really want.

Just-just put it out there.

- Huh? - Mm.

Hm?

You got a fire pit outside, right?

I do.

Come on, bring your box. Let's go burn it.

I just want someone to see in you what I do.

Mm.

Really? What's that?

A cranky workaholic with relationship PTSD.

A hard-working guy who was using his bonus money

to pay off his broke sister's last school loan.

Well, don't get too ahead of yourself.

I have to win the company contest first.

Oh.

You got this. I mean, don't you just have

to deliver packages on time or whatever?

Yeah. And customer service.

Mm.

What?

Shouldn't people just be happy that their stuff gets to them

on time and in one piece?

Oh, gee, you know, with that attitude,

how can you lose?

Hey.

And as far as your romance PTSD I have hope for a full recovery.

Even if you don't.

- Whatever. - Cheers.

Okay, let's do it.

Activate that 'Fire and Aspire'.

I feel ridiculous.

I mean, this-this is ridiculous, right?

She landed a literal prince

of an extremely small country, but still.

- Okay. - Mmhmm

O-kay.

Oh.

Goodbye. Eric's fifth edition

Dungeons and Dragons rulebook,

which I tried to memorize.

- Girl... - I know, I know.

Oh.

Okay. Okay.

Can I call in what you do want.

I don't want someone who's quoting pretend wizard rules.

I want someone who can quote classic literature.

Yes!

Own it!

Alex, are you two doing 'Fire and Aspire'?

I saw it on Flickgram.

Hey Brooke. Yes, we are.

Come join us.

See? I told you, it's all generations.

I am my speaker!

Kyle can manifest his own dinner tonight.

Mm.

All right. Who is next?

Sorry not sorry, Tim.

I want someone who appreciates heartfelt lyrics

from a power pop girl.

Yeah!

Woo hoo!

Bye-bye Mike's anniversary gift

for a floral bouquet making workshop.

That was actually really sweet.

Un-huh.

It was so I could make my own bouquets,

and he didn't have to buy them.

Yeah, that's just lazy.

Time to burn it. Burn it!

- Lazy! - Burn it, burn it, burn it!

I want to take a class with someone.

Learn something new.

Maybe photography or a language or...

a romance language.

Oh, yes.

That is deep.

Put it out there.

Oh. Oh, Rowan.

No. I didn't need a framed copy of your Mensa induction letter

to show my friends and family.

A high IQ is-is great,

but I am looking for someone with an off the charts EQ.

Emotional intelligence for the win.

Oh, and as for you, Noah the Neophiliac.

What?

Yeah, I asked that too.

It's somebody who has to have all the newest cool stuff.

Okay. I...

He thought it was kind to pass off

his last generation devices.

Oh.

Right-right. I probably shouldn't burn this.

- Yeah. No. - I'll take it.

I'll take it for Kyle because he still has a flip phone

and it's not the cool kind.

I mean, new is fine,

but I want someone who appreciates the classics.

Like the vibe for vintage.

Ooh.

That's good.

Wait, is that what Kyle and I have a vibe for vintage?

Careful what you wish for, ladies.

The Jeff Stevens Player Digest?

He printed off his own fan book for a baseball

recreational league on my printer.

Oooh!

Yes. Do it.

This has gotta go.

- Ready? - Yes!

Burn it!

I'm tired of sitting on the sidelines.

I want someone who will cheer other people on

and support them in their endeavors.

Oh, like a coach.

A hot coach.

- A hot like a hot, sweet... - Sweaty coach.

Sweaty, sweet coach.

That's good too.

That's it.

I...

It actually, it felt really good to say out loud

what I really wanted. - Yeah.

That was illuminating.

I didn't realize we had so many of the same must-haves,

except you like them sweet and I like them edgy.

Well, I guess I have Fired and Aspired.

- Whoa! - What was that?

It wasn't me.

Oh.

I guess it was this thing.

Mm.

Kyle's never gonna figure this out.

Speaking of, it's getting very cold out here.

Good night, ladies.

- Good night. - Good night, Brooke.

- Thanks for bringing the music. - Thanks for the wine.

Mm.

Thank you.

Mmhmm. Any time.

I'll come over for coffee in the morning.

And help me pack up to get ready for my pop-up.

Of course.

Can't wait to see what you manifested.

Morning, Irina.

O'Keefe...

So brave of you to show up

on the weekend you go down in flames.

Happy Saturday to you.

Good luck to you too.

Hey, Ed.

How's it going, Jack?

Oh, you know, Irina just placed a curse on my cow.

But other than that...

On your cow?

Mmhmm.

You up late studying again?

Yeah. Grad school is wrecking me.

What's up with that?

Yesterday, I routed three packages to the Arts District

that were supposed to go to the Arena District.

- No. - Yeah.

One more mistake and I'm toast.

Sorry, man.

Listen, if there's anything I can do, you let me know.

I mean, yeah, if you win this bonus thing,

you think you can, uh, put in a good word for me?

You know I will.

Okay, boys, it's done and delivered.

Let's go.

Bonus!

Look, I like Irina, but I swear she's one energy drink away

from a seizure.

You got this.

You gotta be kidding me.

Jack! Jack! Jack! Jack!

Jack! Hold on! I missed these!

Uh, they're all going to the same address, 56 Clark Avenue.

Do me a favor. Toss them in the back.

Can't let her get too far ahead.

Okay, here we go.

Oh, no! Oh, no!

Okay. No, I got it. Just lift with your legs.

Time is the enemy, Ed.

We're good. We're good.

Too close for comfort.

All right.

Purple?

Huh?

Huh.

Note Lady's got a special delivery today.

That's weird.

You're definitely going to sell out at the pop-ups.

You didn't get named Finest in Columbus for nothing.

Hm. I better sell out.

Considering how much rent is for one day of a pod.

Can you say last year was the last year of renting pop-ups?

Yes, but I need a plan.

So when are you going to make one?

Oh, I have.

The problem is, I have, like, five plans.

See, my mother thinks I should stick to consignments

while my sisters say that I need to mass produce.

And my turquoise supplier, who is also an astrologist,

thinks I should move to the Caribbean.

And Tim told me that I should just go back to law school

because I am too smart to be a jewelry designer,

which I think was supposed to be

some kind of compliment.

What do you want to do?

I...

don't know.

I already tried manifesting my perfect person.

I don't have the energy to manifest the perfect version

of my job today.

Hey, your delivery guy's here.

The one with the calves.

Ooh.

Maybe he has my label maker.

Thank you.

Lip curl. Something, I guess.

Mm.

Huh. This is weird.

What?

I definitely didn't order this.

There's no address.

Really?

Must be another Alex Brown.

Is that a woman's shirt?

Man's.

A guy, Alex Brown. Coach.

Powerhouses of Pop.

Like we were singing last night...

for Mr. Alex Brown.

Wait, wait, wait, wait.

Okay. Maybe, uh, Brooke sent this

to encourage me or something.

I mean, I could ask her, but...

Megan?

What?

Okay. I'm gonna go get Brooke.

Sticky notes.

- Megan? - I'm coming.

- Hurry. - Hurrying. What?

What?

It's a shaving kit.

A vintage shaving kit.

Did you have anything to do with this?

Honestly, no.

Do you think you...

Manifested my perfect man

and then accidentally received his delivery?

I think I did.

Yes!

Yes, you did it.

It's destiny.

Okay, this is crazy. I mean...

But look at all of this stuff.

It is-it is too on the nose.

It's like...

It's like fate mailed it to me.

So what are you waiting for? Go get him.

We don't know where he is.

Somebody has to know.

Um.

Curmudgeon.

Oh! He's here.

Wait! You made a mistake!

Hi. Um...

Oh, boy.

Hi.

It's me, your-your favorite customer.

I'm not here to scold you

about how you never acknowledge my cupcake.

Uh, just to tell you that, uh, you made a mistake,

but it's a good one, so no worries.

Huh, Okay. Um, what?

Uh, wrong Alex Brown.

See, I-I am Alex Brown, obviously, but not,

uh, this Alex Brown so it's a mistake.

Right.

I highly doubt that I made a mistake.

Okay, well somebody did.

Well...

Ed.

Look, I'm sorry. I will take that package.

I'll get it... No!

Whoa!

I actually, I-I need this package,

and I just need the real address from you,

and I can deliver it myself,

- and you can be on your way. - Mmhmm

I know you're busy. Very, very busy.

No time to smile or wave or acknowledge my notes.

So I'm actually... I'm doing you a favor.

Okay. Lady. Ma'am. Miss.

Miss Brown,

that package is the property of Express Now,

and I need to take it. - Oh, come on.

You seem like a very nice guy with very kind legs.

Eyes. Kind eyes.

Thank you.

And that package belongs to our one true love,

which she's never met, but is destined to be with.

Yes, destined.

And you're not gonna stand in the way of her only chance

at happiness, are you? - Are you?

Okay. It's not-it's not my only chance.

You don't know that.

You're not going to let go of that, are you?

Nope.

So what do you say?

I know the manifesting thing may seem kind of woo woo,

but-but you have to admit.

I mean, all of the things in this box are...

Yeah, well, the answer is still no.

Okay.

You also may think I am the only one,

but I'm here to tell you, I am not. Un-huh.

There are lots of us.

Uh, there was the-the-the- the cheesemonger

and, um... and the, uh, the lady. Right?

- Chicken. - And the princess.

Yeah, a princess.

Got it. Moving on.

The package is still my responsibility.

I need to deliver it personally.

No!

Ladies, I'm gonna have to ask you to stop doing that.

- Yeah. - Sorry.

I'm in the middle of my work day

and a very critical point in time

of an internal competition.

Wait!

Alex can go with you.

No. Absolutely not.

That is not how this works.

I can't. I have that pop-up.

Oh, please.

I can work the pop-up until you find the right Alex Brown.

I don't have anything until the concert tonight.

I mean, how many Alex Browns

could there possibly be on your route, right?

The amount of Alex Browns isn't the issue here.

She's-she's not coming with me.

You would do that for me?

For you. For me.

For every woman who needs to believe their destiny

will deliver what she asks for.

You're the best.

Oh.

Can I at least rerun the barcode?

- Yes! - Mmhmm.

Just the barcode.

So generous. Thank you.

Oh! Ah! I need a change.

I'll be real quick.

What? Wait.

What do you mean you have to change?

Of course she has to change.

Hang tight. Hang tight.

Okay.

Hey, Jack.

Hey, you're not gonna help me, right?

I can't lose this job.

Well, Ed, you're in luck, because when I scan it.

Look, nothing comes up on our system.

Just makes this sound.

Oh, that's a weird noise.

Yeah, everything about this is weird.

So what am I supposed to do here?

Well, besides Note Lady, there are three other Alex Browns

on your round, so it should be a quick fix.

I will text you the addresses right now.

All right. Fine.

Dude, thank you so much.

I-I really appreciate this.

You're welcome.

Okay. I'm ready.

Did I forget to do my eyebrow again?

Oh, man.

No. Um, okay.

There's three other Alex Browns on my list.

One's actually on your street, so.

Oh, I totally forgot about him in all of this.

I actually got his pizza once.

No way.

I know this is kind of weird and it's not something

that I would normally do,

but I had this revelation recently

and I may have manifested us meeting.

Wait, aren't you the lady that took my pizza?

I didn't realize it wasn't mine.

See, I order a lot of takeout.

And my dinner dash guy, well, we kind of became friends.

Of course you did.

Anyway, when he saw the name, he just automatically

brought it to me.

And I only realized after the fact.

And I made sure it got back to you

with a little apology sticky note.

But you didn't order it, so how could it be yours?

Now you took this other guy's package.

You've got issues, Lady Alex Brown.

If that's even your name.

Uh, that's not...

Rude.

Wait.

So glad it's not him.

So we drive now to the other two Alexes?

Oh, wow.

Uh, is it okay if I move some of these boxes so I can sit?

No passengers allowed.

If you're spotted in my truck, well that just can't happen.

Okay. Where do I sit?

It's only two addresses.

Couldn't we just do them first

and then I'll be out of your hair?

Oh, yeah. Sure.

These delivery routes they give me,

they're probably just suggestions, right?

Should we pick up pumpkin spice lattes, too?

Maybe mani-pedis on the way?

You know, sarcasm is the lowest form of wit.

But the highest form of intelligence.

Oscar Wilde.

Look, I have a job to do,

and I'm not messing up my delivery rating.

Especially not today, on the last weekend of the contest.

You could have just let me deliver the package myself,

and then it wouldn't have messed your timing up

and stood in the way of love.

Right. Love.

Don't roll your eyes at me.

I didn't.

Uh, your voice did.

Well, you got me there.

Uh, Irina just pulled further ahead.

We got to get moving.

I would like a little oxygen.

Fine.

Just, uh, sit here and, uh, just keep a low profile.

So if you beat Irina with best service.

When I beat Irina.

When.

You win some sort of cash prize.

Well, it is not the lottery, but it is the company's

50th anniversary contest, though.

It's big enough.

So you have 4.75 out of five stars.

And that's enough to keep ahead of Irina.

It was until somebody slowed me down.

Sorry about that.

I just-I can't believe that you're willing to do

all of this for...

For?

You can't even say it.

For love.

For a chance at love.

You know, or for a chance at something

that might really disappoint you.

Well...

It's worth a try.

Go, go, go, go.

I'm going.

So it looks like a significant weight

is based off the friendliness factor in reviews.

Well, Irina's not exactly a sparkle factory either,

so we're equal there.

But you could put her out of reach for good

if you just, I don't know, stop being so...

So?

So what?

You.

Ouch.

I am a personalization expert.

It's what I do with my jewelry.

Look, let me help you.

You're helping me, however, begrudgingly.

All people really care about is receiving their package

promptly and in one piece.

How much does anybody really care

about a perky delivery man?

Well, what do the contest rules say?

What percentage is based off customer service?

25.

25. Don't worry.

You will never, never reach the level of perky,

but with a few little tweaks.

Fine.

Good.

Okay.

I just need to borrow this really quickly, and...

Why do you need that?

Watch and learn.

I don't want to learn anything.

Good morning.

Hi. I'm your delivery satisfaction consultant.

What a gorgeous Fall day we're having.

Delivery satisfaction? What?

Exactly.

We just want to make sure that our customers are happy

with the service we provide.

Okay.

So what are you...

Gonna do about this wind?

Your delivery man is concerned that at this time of the year,

with all the gorgeous foliage, that too many leaves

are going to be falling all over your packages

and that beautiful front porch of yours.

Oh, well, uh, it's got a roof.

Yeah. It has a roof.

But it doesn't have any screens.

And your Express Now man, Mr. O'Keefe, uh, wanted to ask

if you had a preference for placement.

Isn't that right, Mr. O'Keefe?

Yes. I mean yes. Um...

I care.

Well, um... sure, then.

Uh, how about placing the package underneath

that rocking chair for a little extra protection.

That is a great idea.

Are you taking that down, Mr. O'Keefe?

I got it locked in right here.

Any chance you do my compost?

Oh, let me think about... You know what?

Honestly, it is no trouble at all.

He is more than happy to bring in your compost bin

from the curb on Tuesdays.

Because Mr. Johnson's back has been killing him.

Not a problem, but we need to stick on schedule.

Oh, yes, we do.

But remember to go on to the Express Now app

and write Mr. O'Keefe. Five stars!

Express Now...

Take out his compost? Really?

Should I sweep his gutters, too?

Well, let's see if it worked.

Okay.

He gave me five stars for friendliness

and attention to detail.

- Huh? - Huh!

Exactly. See, personalization is my biz.

Oh.

If I still have a business after today.

Megan, thank you so much for all your help.

Truly. Period.

But the sign is upside down. Exclamation point.

You can join me up here if you like.

Maybe stay low or something.

Oh, well, thank you.

I promise I won't let it go to my head.

I think your vehicle is talking to you.

She's old, but she's got character.

They're replacing all these beauties

with modern, newer versions.

And I'm holding out as long as I can.

You didn't strike me as the sentimental type.

Well, I just don't see the point in replacing something

just to replace it, you know.

Even though sometimes it can be a little tricky.

It's like buying something new just because it's new.

Yeah, I-I agree.

Actually, a lot of pieces in my designs are reclaimed

or from thrift stores.

Hm.

What?

Nothing.

What?

Nothing.

You know, that country is the fastest growing

genre of music right now.

Quantity, quality.

This song is called "That big old truck."

Sounds like some guy

who's falling in love with his pickup.

So we'll do the second Alex Brown next. Yeah?

Are you sure?

I want to get through this before the morning is done.

Yeah.

You didn't have to turn off your music.

Oh, no. That's all right.

I wouldn't want you to listen to anything real and authentic

when you're preparing to meet your, um...

What'd you call it?

Ah. Manifestation.

Yes.

Of my heart's desire.

I love Fall.

I bet my Alex has a wreath he made himself

with pine cones and acorns and twigs.

But he has a set of antlers in there, too.

Hey, look, I know I've let it go this far,

but I really should be the one holding this.

Un-uh.

I'm Express Now

and this package is Express Now property.

Maybe, but technically this package was delivered to me.

And possession is 9/10ths of the law, so...

Fine.

This is the house anyway.

Who's that?

That's my sister.

I mean, no, this isn't my sister.

This is her friend.

Oh. Um...

Sorry. You're not gonna reply to that?

No, I'm not because she doesn't need my bad relationship mojo.

And neither do you.

Go, and please be quick.

Okay, but...

put a pin in that mojo thing, because we are definitely

circling back on that.

I don't know.

Don't think so.

Wish me luck.

Luck? I, uh, I thought

that this was supposed to be destiny.

Ha! Ha!

Hi. Um, I'm actually... I'm looking for an Alex Brown.

He's over there.

Uh, just in the plaid shirt.

Oh, okay. Thank you so much for your time.

Plaid. Plaid is the word.

Somewhere over there, there is a man in plaid.

I don't like plaid.

He better give me five stars

because I'm losing some serious time with this detour.

Wait! I think that's him.

What's happening right now?

I know you're in a hurry, but I don't know what to say to him.

And I don't want to word babble all over him.

Yeah, that is kind of your thing.

See, this is why I never make the first move.

Okay. Well, that actually... well, that makes sense, then.

What?

Well, if you never go after what you want,

and you only wait for them to go after what they want.

Then I never get what I want in a relationship.

Ding!

This is my weekend of revelations.

Okay. Thank you.

I'll be quick.

Okay.

Mr. Brown?

Yeah.

I know this is gonna be strange,

but I'm part of the customer satisfaction program,

and I just want to make sure

that this mislabeled package gets to the right person.

So is that mine?

Oh, I hope so.

Oh!

Alex!

Sorry, Dad.

Wait, you're Alex Brown?

Yeah.

Uh, I thought this package might have been for him.

Junior?

Not unless there's some kind of ball in there.

Wait, Junior.

Uh-uh.

So you're also Alex Brown?

Yeah, yeah, I am.

Hey. So, uh, moving on.

Oh, wait. You don't have to leave, do you?

Uh, I do.

I don't want to slow down his deliveries.

Oh, that's a shame.

I was just about to ask if you wanted to go for a stroll

on this lovely Fall day.

Uh.

Um, what about Mrs. Alex Brown?

She's been gone for a while now.

Oh, I'm-I'm so sorry.

My condolences.

Oh, no, she hasn't passed. She's just gone from my life.

- Oh. - Oh.

Uh, well, um, actually, you can go on without me.

Uh, Mr. Alex Brown, senior and I

are gonna go for a little stroll.

Yep. Gone and definitely forgotten.

Well, I-I guess it's good to-to move on, you know?

And once you process the pain,

our hardest times can be the most fertile soil

for emotional growth, don't you think?

Yeah, sure. What you said.

So, uh... walk?

I don't suppose that EQ over IQ rings any bells, does it?

Whose EQ?

Right. Uh, see, we actually have to hit the road.

But you have a nice day.

Take care.

Okay.

Not a word.

I wouldn't dare.

Oops. Sorry.

I'm never going to get it.

Give me just-just one minute.

Hey, kiddo.

Here, kick it back to me.

But this time, use the inside of your foot.

Yeah.

Like this?

Yes. Very good. That was great.

Now, remember, use your laces when you want power,

but the inside of your foot when you want control.

There we go.

Hey O'Keefe, you keep playing with your ball

while Irina takes the gold, huh?

Nice work. Thanks! See ya!

We'll see who laughs last.

You speak Russian?

I wanted to find out if she was cursing me or not and shocker,

she was.

Also learning French.

Benefits of alone time on the job.

Uh. Excuse me.

You can't put "XO, Your Express guy" on my deliveries.

It's what wins them over. It's about the personal touch.

Oh, yeah. I'll stick with efficiency.

You're now a quarter of a star behind.

Just-just let me help.

I can-I can load the dolly and you can deliver the packages.

You're not even supposed to touch the packages.

If anything interferes with the customer's delivery.

Oh, come on, it'll be fine, I promise.

And funny enough, it's actually my middle name.

Alexandra, Delivered and Done, Brown.

That's a mouthful. What is that?

Scandinavian?

Huh?

I don't know. It's totally against the rules.

And how many rules have you already broken today?

A few.

And if you want to get rid of me before lunch,

then you'll let me help move this along.

Okay, fine.

But no more sticky notes.

Mr. Brown, it just so happens

that I love classic literature, too.

And I thought maybe we could read together in a park.

And...

I can feel your eyes wincing.

How do you do that?

Do you have any better ideas?

Yeah, that I should probably sit this one out.

Because of the whole bad mojo thing.

You can open up to me.

Come on, I promise I'm a good listener.

And this is it.

This is it?

Yes. Literally just said that.

No, no, this is it.

This is the last Alex Brown on your route.

This is...

him.

Yeah, I guess so.

- Hey. No. - I'm sweating.

- No no no. - It is Fall...

It is Fall and I am... I'm sweating.

You're going to be fine.

Look. Wave that envelope under my arms.

- No! - Please!

Please.

Look.

You just need to be more natural, less intense.

Okay?

You're right, you're right.

And you don't have to do

all that customer satisfaction stuff.

Just be yourself.

You're perfect just the way you are.

For the person that you are supposed to be with.

Now, come on, you got this.

You're not really a curmudgeon, you know that?

Yeah, I know.

Wait, wait, hold up. Hey, hey, hey, hey.

Sit.

He's just a cute little guy.

Yeah. Tell that to Donnie Spinelli.

He's got the route across town.

Lost two toes to a crazed pug.

I am so sorry.

Hey! Come here you.

Us Brown men can be very protective.

And a little drooly.

Wait. He's Alex Brown?

Rocco?

No. Though some say there is a resemblance.

Alex Brown at your service.

So you're gonna think this is some kind of wild coincidence,

but, uh.

No, no, I don't believe in coincidence.

Something brought you to my doorstep.

Well, then I believe that it's meant to be.

In fact, I think we know each other.

Oh, right.

Uh, sorry, I have to ask.

Hold on. I think I've got it.

Yes. 10:30 Mass.

What?

Here you go.

You come with your husband and five children, right?

Oh, so not right.

I'm guessing this isn't yours.

Not that I know of.

All right. Thanks for your time.

How is this possible?

What?

You have a doppelganger with five kids.

That was our last Alex Brown.

So whose package is this?

I don't know.

I think I need to take it back to the dispatch center,

and it looks like you might need to...

- Give up? - Mmhmm.

Mm-Mm. No way.

I am finally claiming what I want, and I'm gonna get it.

Are you claiming this?

Yes, please.

So let me get something straight.

These guys, your exes?

Uh-huh.

None of that worked out,

but you still want to keep trying.

Of course.

Don't, of course, me.

You literally burned everything they gave you

in a literal fire.

You don't need to use literal twice.

Yeah.

Chips. Yes.

And even though today's been a complete bust,

you still have hope that there's love out there for you.

Jack, that's that's what hope is.

It's believing that good things are possible,

even if they haven't happened yet.

Case in point.

Salt and vinegar. It's my favorite.

It's a sign.

Uh-huh.

So this is our circling back moment.

What happened to make you like this?

Like what?

Nothing, I just...

Nothing.

Got dumped.

No, I did not.

Definitely.

Okay, fine. Yeah, I got dumped.

Everybody gets dumped at least once in their life.

Yeah.

But this one...

this one really hurt.

You...

were vulnerable.

You-you put yourself out there.

You did everything you could think of to make it work.

And when it ended, well...

you promised yourself that you would never let someone

get that close again.

How did you know that?

I get people.

It's my thing.

You know what?

You're gonna be okay.

Am I?

Yes.

We both are.

- Hey, Meg. - Hey.

Don't panic. All is well... mostly.

Just a small... price tag issue.

What do you mean, "issue"?

Well, I think I might have done a little mislabeling.

I just sold a little sapphire pendant for $14.80,

and I think it was supposed to be...

$148.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Uh.

Oh, look,

I-I don't want to mess up your bonus, but...

I'm good.

Padre Brown, he gave me five stars.

And your help earlier,

well, it got me through my route faster than expected.

Are you driving by the Arts District, by any chance?

Drop the sandwich.

Get in the van.

Let's go.

It's not far from my afternoon deliveries.

Okay, thanks. Meg, we are on our way.

Thank you so much.

I'm so sorry.

No, honestly, it is all my fault.

I threw you in here without any prep and without any thought.

Kind of like my life right now.

No, Ed, that's not possible.

Okay, but why did it end up on my truck?

Now that you've run out of Mr. Browns,

he's not going to take the package back, is he?

Uh, no.

He's actually on the phone with dispatch right now.

Mm. Who says there are no more nice guys around?

Guys?

Nice guys.

Yes. Very nice.

Uh-oh.

What?

- Alex. - What?

I get it, I do.

But you put exactly what you wanted out there

and you got to follow through.

Oh, of course. I know that.

Okay.

Hey, that was Ed.

Does he know where the real Alex Brown lives?

Generally.

The issue is it could be any Alex Brown in Columbus.

Not just the ones on my route.

That's good news, right?

He's still out there?

Yeah.

Just we can't have Ed risk pinging

the whole system on a deep dive.

And things are bad because?

Because Jack and Ed are risking their jobs doing this.

Yeah.

I have an idea.

What?

Maybe you could ask Irina

if there's an Alex Brown on her route.

Oh, no.

Oh, no, no, no, no, no.

What is happening?

She might recognize you from the park.

And if she sees me here doing more things

that are obviously not working.

Look, if he reports me...

Oh, okay. Get under the table, quick.

Uh...

You.

I know who you are.

Alex Brown, yes?

Yes.

Perfect. I think you will be the secret to my success.

I know all about this, uh...

It wasn't his fault.

Eh?

I got him into this. He was really nice about it.

Well, maybe not really nice. More cranky and sarcastic, but-

but aren't we all like that?

You know, when we've been wounded.

And don't we all deserve a second chance?

I mean, he's helping me get one, and I want him to have one.

And please don't mess this up for him.

Otherwise, I don't...

You babble like brook in Balakovo.

Oh, yeah. I mean, I've heard that before.

Not specifically that body of water, but, you know,

the general idea.

My turn to speak, please and thank you as I only take

eight minutes for lunch break.

My husband is feeling very lonely

missing me while I work long hours.

Can you take this photo and put it in a keychain locket?

So this isn't about-about...

This is about jewelry.

You are the finest in Columbus.

My man deserves the finest.

Eh?

The finest?

Of course he does. Mmhmm.

Um, actually, here is my website,

and you can go on there and fill out

some questions that will help me personalize it for you.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Hi. How can I help you?

You can come out.

Oh! That was close.

Oh, man.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

I got another customer out of it.

Thank you also for saying what you said.

Not the part about being sarcastic and cranky,

but that bit about second chances.

That was nice.

That's fine. You're welcome.

So now how do we find the addresses

of the other Alex Browns?

Are you sure we can't do, like, a teensy ping of the system?

I'm sorry.

Megan, we have already wasted too much of his time.

Hey, wait, wait, wait. You know what?

Ed and I might not be able to find the other Alex Browns,

but I know somebody who can.

Seriously?

Oh, yeah.

Okay, Megan, how long can you stay

without touching any of the price tags?

No promises, but I just need to leave here

by 6:30 to get to the concert.

But until then, I'm yours.

Okay.

That's great.

Uh, just remember, I do still have to work.

Yes, of course. I'll help. Come on.

Okay. Go, go!

Let's go.

Oh hey, Express Now.

Uh, you got a delivery for me today, 1918 Missouri?

Yeah, hold on.

This? Yeah, okay.

Okay, now. Give it a go.

Smile at this guy.

With all of my teeth.

With your whole mouth.

Uh... Thanks.

You're welcome. And, uh, have a great day.

And... Happy Fall.

Uh, sure.

Yeah. Uh... thanks again, man.

Oh, wow. That's a start.

Oh, yeah. Was that good? Really?

Yeah, it was really good.

It was almost human.

I think I'm starting to feel it.

- Yeah. - Yeah.

Jack! Jack!

Haley, what are you doing here?

- Did you track my phone again? - Mmhmm.

Boundaries Haley.

Oh, don't be so dramatic.

I mean, someone's got to keep an eye on you.

What if you drove off a bridge

and I had to meet Note Lady in the flesh.

I'm Haley, Jack's sister.

Hi. I'm Alex. It's nice to meet you.

Here are the other Alex Browns.

What?

I pared it down for you.

So nobody dead.

I took out all the females,

and I nixed any Alex Browns who had an outstanding warrant.

Wow. This is fantastic. Thank you.

How many had a warrant?

Only one.

So that leaves just a few Alex Browns left in Columbus.

Haley works in real estate.

So if this guy's rented, bought,

or even toured a listing, it is on that paper.

Okay.

I gather data for, like, corporate overlords and...

Yeah, in an office with a computer

where you could have just emailed that.

Can I see it?

And miss out on all the fun.

I want to be a part of this soulmate search.

I like her.

Okay, yeah. Thank you.

So we're gonna have to get going.

So soon?

Oh, I love your bracelets.

Oh, I love your ring. Wait, is it custom made?

Uh, yeah. It is.

You should come by my shop later... or pod.

Oh, fun. Is that, like a pop-up?

Yeah. I'm trying to figure out what to do with my business,

and so I'm just renting.

Okay. Moving on, please.

You know, I think it is so great

that you're pursuing your passion.

I really want out of my job, but I gotta pay the bills.

Right? I have the student loan that is like killing me,

but this guy's gonna help me with that.

Okay. Thanks, sis.

Wait, so he's helping to pay off your student loans?

If he wins the contest bonus.

Look, I'm gonna keep some of it, all right?

But there won't be any bonus at all

if I let Irina get ahead of me, so...

He doesn't want you to know

how much of a mushy sweetheart he actually is.

Oh, there have been signs under that crusty exterior.

He's like a soft loaf of bread.

So squishy.

Ooh, that's his moving on face.

Yeah.

- It was so lovely meeting you. - You too.

- Thank you. - Thanks sis.

Bye.

Good luck finding your soul mate.

So, it's actually really touching.

It's about how his truck brings back all his memories.

About breakups and first dates

and sunsets and driving home their new baby.

Oh, so it's not just a song about a guy in love

with his truck, huh?

It's so much more.

You were right. I was wrong about this one.

Maybe you also don't need such a long list of must-haves

for what you need in a guy.

What do you mean by such a long list?

How many must-haves do you have?

Okay, so... my ex, she did dump me.

But the truth is, I think I might have known

that we weren't right for each other

for a while before that.

Might have known?

Yeah, at the time.

Forget about it. It was rough.

Looking back on it, I think knew.

How?

She wouldn't share her food with me.

- Ugh, I hate that. - Mmhmm.

Retroactive. Thanks again for the sandwich earlier.

Not a problem.

I like sharing.

So yeah, that's-that's my... that's my one thing.

That's my must-have.

You just have one must-have?

Don't you think that's setting the bar a bit low?

Yeah, but think about it.

Somebody who doesn't want to share their food with you

tends to not want to share other things with you too.

More important things, you know?

So, I guess, what I'm looking for in a person is,

I don't know, generosity of spirit, I guess.

So it is one thing, yes, but it's...

Well, it's also more.

Okay. So how about this?

I will up my list of non-negotiables

if you reduce yours.

Maybe I should but...

it's a slippery slope, right?

I compromise a little and then a little more.

And then suddenly I'm making my own flower bouquets

while my Mensa boyfriend plays D&D.

In other words...

You have to see this through.

Yes.

That.

I have to.

Okay, if we do this together,

I might just be able to meet my quota

and still win the contest.

And you can meet your multifaceted manifestation.

Deal.

Hi. Express Now, more like Impress Wow.

Get back inside.

Just kidding.

Why?

You know, that looked like a red flag anyways to me.

Okay.

Guess he's not home.

Stickers.

Read it.

You're welcome.

Hi. How can I help you?

Hi.

Coffee for you.

Thank you.

Sorry. Wrong address.

Have a great day.

Bye.

Thanks.

I can't believe you do this every day.

That's right.

No matter what surprises the weather throws my way.

No wonder you don't have time for my sticky notes.

And she finally gets it.

I think we've hit every Alex Brown in Columbus.

Well, except for that one who wasn't home.

So, I guess, he's the one, right?

I guess.

Okay, well, that's the end of my route,

and it looks like I'm finishing the day.

Three quarters of a star ahead of Irina.

- Nice. - Pretty good.

Maybe showers should blow over pretty soon.

Do you want to go back

and see if the last Alex Brown's home yet?

Uh, yeah.

And so we go back to the last Alex Brown.

Yeah.

What time is it?

6:15. Why?

Uh, Megan, I have to go relieve her.

Let's go.

Excuse me. Are you Alex?

Uh, I am.

Honey, I think this is the Alex Brown

that made my necklace.

Eva.

No way. You remember the piece?

And her name?

It was very memorable.

Your husband did a great job.

He completely filled up the personal details space

on the form.

Obviously, I'd like to take all the credit,

but it really was you.

You took everything I told you and made it perfectly her.

Especially the quote, "I dwell in possibility."

It's so me. Thank you.

The pleasure was honestly all mine.

- Have a good night. - You too.

Good night.

And that's your process.

You have the customers fill out some personal facts

about themselves, and then you build from there.

Yeah, pretty much.

That is brave.

What do you mean "brave"?

Well, basically, you're saying I've never met you,

but I can figure you out.

I can make you a custom piece of jewelry

that you're going to love and be so happy with.

You're going to give me money for it.

That's brave.

Yeah, especially the money part.

I'm serious though.

It's impressive what you do. It matters.

Oh.

Wow. I haven't been to a concert in...

- Forever. - Yeah.

Seriously?

Everything okay?

Uh, yeah. We should probably get going.

I don't want to go back

to the last Alex Brown's house at midnight.

Yeah.

Yeah.

But...

Yeah?

Look, I have to work tomorrow anyway.

I can't let Irina crawl past me on the very last day.

So if you don't want to show up at the last Alex Brown's house

in the middle of the night and scare him.

We could wait till morning.

Like a daylight meet-cute.

Exactly.

Sounds pretty perfect.

Because I am also so hungry and tired.

And I can't even imagine what I look like right now.

What's worse, you're tired or you're hungry?

Definitely my hunger.

Let's fix that.

Dinner was amazing. Thank you.

And buckeyes? I'm so glad we saved room for these.

Well, these are a moral imperative around these parts.

Mm.

So, what do you like best about your job?

Uh. The fit, obviously.

I mean, yeah. Mmhmm. I can see that.

I think it's probably that I just get to complete

something every day.

You know, packages arrive at the warehouse.

I deliver them to the customer, they receive them.

They're happy.

- Mmhmm - Done.

Full circle with a little caboose of joy at the end.

Caboose of joy?

- Choo-choo. - Choo.

So you said you're not sure

what to do next about your business?

Yeah. I mean, there's so many different directions

I could go and so many different pieces of advice.

It's just... I don't know.

I used to be so confident and I knew exactly what I wanted.

And then somewhere along the way, I started doubting myself.

Okay. Hold on. Let's unpack that.

Please have a seat.

Okay.

So is this about work or...

Everything.

Here I am in my 30s, still living that pop-up life.

Still not making enough money, still adrift.

Okay, so the person who dragged me all over Columbus today

searching for her soulmate, she doubts herself?

Yeah. No, I don't buy that.

Un-huh.

I think you're forgetting that an artist,

they don't have a standard path forward.

That's completely normal.

And, yeah, maybe... you're scared,

and a little off-track.

But I think deep down you know what your heart really wants.

You're right.

And I am just...

I'm gonna stand up and I'm gonna...

I'm gonna say it, okay?

- Yes, okay. - Okay.

I want a permanent space all to myself.

No more consignments or or pop-ups or street fairs.

I want expansion without the risk of losing my soul.

There you go.

Now, I just need to manifest the money to make it happen.

Thank you for- for reminding me of me.

It's my pleasure, truly.

Um, you, uh...

You-you-you have a little schmutz, like right...

Right there.

Okay, so maybe I should, um, I should probably drive you home.

I can do that.

Oh, uh, I-I actually live right here.

I must have lost my sense of direction.

It, uh, it happens.

Not usually to me, but, um...

Um.

So tomorrow are we on?

Yeah. Tomorrow we make the delivery.

Okay, great.

Well, then I will see you tomorrow.

Yes. See you tomorrow.

And we're done.

Don't worry about me. Be the teddy bear.

Be vulnerable. Tell her how you feel.

I have to be the polar bear and just go for it.

I gotta go.

Do not track me.

Jack.

Alex.

Wow. Hi.

Good morning.

You look...

So do you.

Thanks.

I, uh... I thought I thought that you had

to work today for the contest.

Yeah. Don't worry about it. I already won.

What? You did?

Mmhmm.

That's amazing.

Thanks.

So that's, I guess, for the final Alex Brown.

Oh, um...

No. I, um...

I actually made it for you.

Me? Are you serious?

Sticky notes.

- Well, it seems appropriate. - Mmhmm.

"Good food is sweeter when shared."

"Anonymous."

That's perfect.

Thank you.

I'm glad you like it.

Do you want me to put it on?

Yes, please.

- Hey, Alex. - Yes.

I want to- I want to ask you something.

Hey.

You know...

You're just in time.

Megan. Hey.

I wanted to check in

in case you were having any last-minute jitters.

Um...

Uh...

Oh. Hey, Jack. You look nice.

Thank you.

Ooh. So any jitters?

A few.

Um, but but I-I think I'm ready.

Yes. Yes, you are.

Listen, you are doing something

most of us don't even have the guts to do.

You put out there what you wanted and you're going for it.

I, um...

I...

I have to complete this for myself.

You aren't just doing it for yourself.

You're doing it for everyone.

Mostly for me.

It inspires me to start going for what I want to.

You should.

You deserve it.

Okay.

- You ready? - Yep.

Moving on.

14 Meadowbrook Road. - Woo!

'Morning. What is happening here?

It's finally happening. He's taking her to meet him.

And we are missing it?

Well...

Maybe we could just watch from across the street.

They'll never even know we're there.

Just be cool. Be cool, cool, cool.

And we're here.

Thank you for everything.

For yesterday and for last night.

And for helping me to see

that I already know what I really want.

I can't stop thinking about having my own shop.

That's great. Hang on to that.

And thank you too.

For what?

Well, I think, you had to learn to say what you want.

And I had to learn it's okay to...

actually want something again.

Yeah. Well, I'm happy to hear that.

- So... - Yeah.

Here we are.

Yeah.

I guess I just walk on up to that door then.

Yeah. I guess so.

Unless, um...

Unless?

Do you really think what you want is inside that house?

Um...

I don't know.

Do you think it's somewhere else?

Oh!

Oh, come on.

Oh, you got to be kidding me.

I can see you guys.

Surprise.

Yeah. Surprise!

What are you guys doing here?

I'm sorry.

We don't want to miss the big moment.

It's still happening, right?

Because it looks like a different moment

might be about to happen.

No.

No. Yes. No, I...

Just a second.

What is it, Ed?

I told you I already dropped out of the contest.

Wait, what?

I just wanted today to be about you

and Haley and I are gonna find another way.

Listen, I found the real Alex Brown's address

and Meadowbrook Road, ain't it?

I called him up and confirmed the purple package is his.

It's on Irina's route. It's 832 Jefferson.

That area they just annexed.

That's probably why it didn't show up on your sister's list.

Isn't this awesome?

Hey! All of you off my lawn!

Sorry, sir. Wrong address.

Gotta go.

So, um, 832 Jefferson.

I'll, uh... I'll see you there.

See you there.

See you there.

Okay.

This is my route.

Look, I'm not trying to steal anything from you, Irina.

Isn't that the jeweler?

The one whose table you hide under?

You knew?

Let's just say I grew up noticing things.

Old habit. Hard to explain.

So why is she there and you are here?

Because, uh... I'm an idiot.

Yes.

I'm doing the right thing.

Right?

Yes, definitely.

All I know is that after 20 years of marriage,

nothing good comes from holding back your feelings.

You got to go after what you want.

Yeah.

Right.

I do think you should take off your jacket.

- All right. - Good call. Yes.

O'Keefe, you are as bad at love

as you are good at on-time distribution.

Thank you?

I will still win.

When I curse a cow, it stays cursed.

It doesn't matter anymore.

You got this.

I do.

What is our slogan?

O'Keefe, what is our slogan?

Delivered and done.

That is what you must do.

Deliver.

Go get 'em.

I have to be the teddy bear and the polar bear.

Eh?

Alex.

I, uh, came up with more.

More what?

With more must-haves.

More than just the sharing food thing.

Oh.

I, um...

Um...

Someone who loves adventure.

Especially adventure in a vintage truck.

Someone who sticks up for others

even when they're hiding under a table.

Someone who sees people so well

that she can personalize exactly what they need.

Someone who believes in hopes and keeps going.

No matter how many times she's been disappointed.

And someone who...

Yeah, I agree, has to go ring that doorbell.

Just in case it doesn't work out,

knows that I'm going to be at her building every single day,

ignoring her sticky notes

and hoping she'll give me a chance.

A second chance.

Okay. That was pretty good.

Yes, but I take full credit for this.

Irina.

- Hi. - Hello.

Hello.

And yeah, maybe you're scared.

And a little off-track.

But I think deep down

you know what your heart really wants.

Wait. Um...

Excuse me. Sorry.

Alex, you've come all this way.

We've come all this way.

Don't you think you should at least ring that doorbell

and make sure this is what you really want?

Meg...

I finally know exactly what I want.

I-I want someone who appreciates good music.

Even when it's about a pickup truck?

And speaks romance languages.

And knows that it EQ is more important than IQ.

And I will order my own coffee mug

Just to prove it.

But most importantly,

wants me to be me even when I'm babbling,

which I'm going to do a lot right now

because it's something that I do when I have big feelings.

And right now I have a lot of big...

Moving on.

Oh, great. My package.

Hello.

Hi.

Um, I'm Alex.

I'm Megan.

It's good to meet you.

Sorry, I'm a little sweaty from working out.

That is a beautiful man.

You really know how to manifest.

Right?

Hey, save it for after hours, you two.

We have shoppers already.

So Express Now just sold this year?

- Oh. - Well...

They, uh...

They finally forced Jack to upgrade his work truck.

Yeah, my loss was her gain, though.

She got it for a steal.

With someone's help.

You two restored it yourselves, impressive.

Well...

Okay, Alex, if you put shelves

where the drop seat was,

use a biscuit joiner for a smooth finish,

You'll get... wait for it.

Three more square feet of sale space.

Wow. Sounds like a plan.

Irina, I still feel kind of bad.

It was my rating that helped put Jack over the top.

No, he delivered the love of your life.

How can I be mad at you?

Besides, I was having an off-day.

I think it all started with Ed,

who got to keep his job, by the way.

Yeah!

All right, everybody, are we ready?

Yeah.

Get over here and unveil this thing yourself.

Okay.

Come on, Alex. Here.

Thank you.

Um. I can't believe this day is finally here.

Thank you truly, all of you, for being here.

Go for it, Alex.

Yeah!

May I?

Delivered.

And done.
