[upbeat music]

You sure you don't want a bite?

Yea[chuckles], I'm good.

someone's having fun.

[phone dings]

Well, there's my next date.

So I guess... Happy New Year.

Oh wait.

Gotta get that selfie to remember this night by.

Right.

Perfect.

-Have a good one. -You too.

[distant party noises]

[woman sighs]

Seriously, Nic, what was I thinking?

[Nic sighs]

[Nic] Hey guys. Happy New Year.

I'll see you in there.

What were you thinking?

What?

Well you just said, "What was I thinking?"

Oh um, just guy stuff.

It's New Year's. There's a lot of pressure.

So what happened? You get stood up?

[sighs]

It can't be this complicated, right?

To find the one person who like, completes you.

[chuckles] Isn't that a line from a movie?

Yeah.

One of the best.

I mean, when Renee rose up and joined him, it was just, wow.

[laughs]

You know what? That's what I'm gonna do.

I'm going to rise up and I'm going to ring in this new year.

Hey, do you wanna come with me?

My Into You date totally just found

someone else to ring all this in with.

-So... -Are you serious?

Okay, that's it. We're definitely doing this thing.

-I'm Nic, by the way. -Tara.

[Both] It's nice to meet you.

[women laughing]

Nic! There you are.

Aw, happy New Year.

-Champagne? -Oh, I'm good.

I'll wait until the countdown.

I will take some. [chuckles]

Tara. Right?

From visual arts class.

Well, I am Lauren, your hostess with the mostest.

[chuckles] Hey, Laur, are you okay?

You usually take it easy at your own parties.

Yeah, well your boyfriend didn't just

change the plans on you,

which clearly didn't take what I want into account.

So there's that.

-You wanna sit down? -Yeah.

Yeah, you guys should sit down.

I need to sit down.

Hold on, you're Sydney, that track star.

That's me. I, I made pecoras, they're inside.

She made pecoras. You see? Now that's a proper guest.

Thank you.

Hey, are you okay?

Yeah. Yeah, I'm fine.

My boyfriend dumped me.

Dump number four.

Join that club, because Nic here just got stood up.

Lauren just had the goal posts changed.

[chuckles]

Maybe we should just call ourselves the Broken Heart club.

Well, okay.

Maybe we are right now.

But the one we're meant to be with

has gotta be out there somewhere.

Right?

We just have to be the smart, strong women that we are

and start making good choices.

Like no more Into You.

You're not gonna find your soulmate on there.

I have to agree with that.

I wasn't looking, but done and done.

Oh, I guess that means I'm dumping Peter.

No.

Laur, you two love each other.

If that's true,

then I'd give him another chance and talk it out.

Yeah, but remind him of what you want.

Definitely.

And then maybe I should talk to Byron.

And give him another shot.

No, no, no, no.

Sorry, four dumps is not a charm.

Ladies, look at us.

We're solving each other's romantic crises.

So we are not a broken hearts club.

We're the love club.

[Sydney] I like it. [chuckles]

-[crowd] 10! -Oh, oh..

-9! -Well okay.

-8! -Let's take a vow then,

-7! -To always have

-each other's backs. -6!

When our heart's a mess.

-5! -[Lauren] Hmm?

-4! -To the love club. [chuckles]

-To the love club. -3! 2!

[camera shutters] 1, Happy New Year!

-[partyers cheering] -Cheers, guys.

* Things springing up from the ground *

* Sun shining all around us *

* Remembering when this was dust *

* And ashes *

* Raise my eyes to light peaking through the night *

strength that's been inside *

[music fades]

* Happy to be *

*holding on *ng, I'm

* You are not my person *

* So let it be *

[Tara hums]

* Let it be *

[audience cheers and applauds]

Thank you.

Wea short break.ack after

[Tara chuckles]

Great set.

Well, sleepy holiday crowds seemed to like it.

[chuckles]

Speaking of, this is for you.

It's just some goodies that I put together.

Kind of like a stocking, but not.

You're not proposing, are you?

[laughs] No.

It's just the shelves were pretty cleared out.

I have been thinking though,

what if we started the new year as an official couple?

There we go.

What? What's wrong?

Nothing.

You know, that's what makes this so great. Us.

We're just hanging out, having fun.

-Right? -Yeah, sure. But I-

Yeah, so let's keep it that way.

Casual.

No so-called commitment.

Or any possibility of marriage.

'Til death do you part is not a reality.

Wait, so you're saying

you don't ever want to commit or marry or-

Not if I don't have to.

Wow. Okay, I, I-

Hey, I get it.

You wanna ring in the new year

with someone who wants all that.

-Well, yeah, I mean, I- -It's all good. Seriously.

I should uh, I should get back to my set.

Thanks for the thought.

And, see you around, Sam.

[phone chimes]

[phone chimes]

* I wish I had more words to say what I mean *

* No matter where I go it comes out so blank *

[music fades]

Wow what a night, people.

Am I right?

Not just 'cause it's Christmas,

which means New Year's is just around the corner.

Who doesn't love a fresh start?

In fact, I'm gonna make some resolutions right here,

right now, because I am done.

I'm so done with having to explain myself.

So take note. That's right.

I don't want marriage or anything official

because all that means

is that you're officially headed for disappointment.

And I have enough of that right here

working and booking talent and hoping for my own big break.

So this New Year's,

'tis the year to be Tara!

Hit it!

[rock music]

* Deck the halls with boughs of Tara *

You won't find your soulmate on there.

Let me guess. You don't believe in that either.

Oh, you got that right.

Why do you head out? I'll wrap up here.

-Yeah? -Yeah.

Thanks.

-Merry ho ho. -Merry ho ho.

-Hey! -Uh Tara?

Uh we're closed.

Yeah, I know, but I literally just rolled into town

and I was hoping to book a gig before New Year's.

Can you help me out?

The bar bands left, so...

That's okay. I just need your piano.

Knock yourself out.

[exhales]

[gentle music]

* Silent night *

* Holy night *

* All is calm *

* All is bright *

* Round yon virgin *

* Oh mother and child *

* Holy infant *

* So tender and mild *

* Sleep in heavenly peace *

* Sleep in heavenly *

* Peace *

I figured it was still the season,

but I can play something jazzier--

No, no, that was, that was nice.

You're booked tomorrow night.

Really? Thanks.

[soft music]

Yeah. I'm Noah, by the way.

Tara.

-Nice to meet you. -Nice to meet you.

So you're, you're the manager?

Ah, manager, bookie, occasional talent.

[Noah] So you're chasing the dream too?

Always.

You want one?

Yes! Thank you.

I've been on the road a while.

Where are you coming from?

Oh, casino gig at the Royalton.

But I got bumped for a retired circus performer.

I mean, you can't do a handstand and play the piano?

You know, what I tried?

Oh, well I am all too familiar with those gigs,

birthday parties, cruise ships.

I mean, you're never really appreciated.

No matter how good your cover is.

I mean, I've written a whole whack of songs,

but no one wants that on a playlist.

Well you can play them here.

Thanks.

[phone vibrates]

It's my mom again.

Hey, would you mind taking a quick selfie?

She's on the other coast.

It would make her stop worrying for like a minute.

-Yeah, sure. -Yeah?

[curious music]

So what's the worry?

Oh, that her single daughter

will never tie the proverbial knot.

Which if you were here earlier,

you'd know, I'm totally cool with.

In fact, you see this?

With this ring I am officially

making a commitment to myself.

So sorry mom, but I'm living this year how I want.

And what I want is a recording deal.

-That's all. -Cheers to that.

[glasses clink] Because I heard that Garth Bryant

might be in town, scouting.

Garth Bryant of Micah Records?

That's what I heard.

That's why I drove down.

I'm hoping that he hears me and then bam,

I'll get my recording contract.

Huh.

On that note, I should go.

[soft music] I parked my van in a loading zone.

Oh uh, but thank you for the gig, for the drink.

See you tomorrow.

See you.

-[easy going music] -[woman vocalizing]

I know I'm a bit late with the tidings,

but merry, merry to my three besties.

It will officially be 10 years since we met

and single-handedly solved all our romantic problems

like the rock stars we are.

[phone vibrates]

So, I can't think of any other women

I'd wanna share the continuing escapades of Tara with.

If you're not too busy or burnt out,

let's hop on a video call.

And if you are, I don't care.

We're doing this.

-Hi. -Hey.

-Thank you. -You're welcome.

[music fades]

[devices pings]

Ladies, happy holidays. [giggles]

Do we say that even though it's pretty much over?

What? Excuse me.

It is so not over.

I still have 30 Hallmark movies to watch, thank you.

Of course you do.

So is everything okay?

Yeah. Everything's great.

Bwere calling on usou

bkind of romantic cluster.

No, in fact, I have amazing news.

I'm finally making a commitment.

-[gasps] What? -What?

You are? To who?

Myself.

I'm sorry, what?

Yeloving myselftting to

world knows how fab I am.

So I was thinking why not make a party out of it, huh?

So what do you guys say?

Will you guys help me plan my big day?

Oh, um, when you say big day,

do you mean like a wedding for yourself?

'Cause I mean that's totally a thing now.

God no.

But it could also be like a 10 year reunion

since we took a vow.

How fun would that be?

Tat the restaurant.hings

can always redo New Year's

romantic getaway or--

Okay, okay. We get it.

Now, Lauren, we can't do this

with the mostest.ss

Hmm, I can use a warm holiday.

Awesome.

I'm gonna have a room rocking and ready.

See y'all later.

-Okay. See you. -Bye.

[upbeat music]

Ladies, welcome to my island. Ah!

Wow.

Hey, you guys'll be upstairs.

Heads up. There's only a queen and a single.

So two of you will have to share.

I'll let the three of you sort that out. [chuckles]

Here's the keys.

I'm gonna go finish up at the club,

but we'll catch up later.

-Yeah. -Okay.

See you in a bit.

[laughs] [Tara] Woo!

It's so cute in here.

All right, so who gets the bed?

Rock, paper, scissors?

-[laughs] Yes! -[Nic] Wow.

I see the competitive spirit in you is alive and well.

Uh, guys.

You might wanna see what Peter just sent me.

So his marketing team stays on top of what's

going viral right now.

And it looks like Tara is on her way.

[Tara in video] I don't want marriage.

Or anything official, because all that means is

that you're officially headed for disappointment.

Wow, okay, maybe everything's not quite as

fab as she says it is.

[Tara in video] For my own big break.

So this New Year,

'tis the year to be Tara! Woo!

[footsteps]

You guys are gonna love this place.

I always make sure the entertainment I book is quality.

Yes, and very cute.

Kyle, can we get a bottle of the house red?

Thanks.

[slow music]

[Tara sighs]

So give it up. What's the news?

Uh well, I didn't wanna ruin your big day

and I kind of wanted to surprise you, so.

[ladies gasp]

It's gorgeous!

Oh my gosh. I'm so happy for you.

Oh, thank you.

Don't worry. I'll tell you guys the story later.

It's long. [chuckles]

What about you, Syd?

Any wedding bells for you and Theo?

Oh no, we're thinking of opening up

another restaurant first.

[gasps] Maybe I could help you decorate it.

Yeah. Oh, that's a good idea.

You know, you did an amazing job for my gallery expansion.

Weren't you and Peter thinking of renewing

your wedding vows?

Yeah, but we're gonna do a second honeymoon first.

-[ladies gasps] -Oh.

I know. Grossly adorable.

Well, hey, maybe I'll crash it.

I mean, I should probably treat myself

to a little getaway, right?

Um, yeah. Well actually speaking of that.

-Hmm. -Are you sure you're okay?

Yeah. Why?

Well, because of this.

[Tara in video] I don't want marriage.

Or anything official, because all that means is

that you're officially headed for disappointment.

And I have enough of that right here...

Wow, I mean that's looking like

one of my greater performances.

It is epically awesome.

Right? [laughs]

Look what came of it.

Come on, Noah there, he got it.

[happy music] This whole celebration is a kickoff to a

year where all I focus on are my dreams

of becoming a serious singer.

So if a ring on my finger that I put there myself

reminds me of that, then what's wrong with that?

Yeah, I mean, it did bring all four of us together again.

And we could renew our vows

with the New Year's cup.

[Nic laughs]

You do not still have that.

Okay. Wait, hold on.

My, my interior designer self is a tad bit confused.

Am I decorating for a New Year's party

or a commitment ceremony?

Both.

Now I was thinking I definitely need a fabulous outfit.

Maybe a new ring, seeing as I ate the last one.

-What? -Huh?

So cheers, ladies,

to the year of Tara and to us, the love club.

[All] Cheers. [glasses clink]

* Warm heart but your hands are cold *

Oh, thank goodness we're just around the block.

'Cause I'm exhausted.

Well, you guys go on ahead.

I'm gonna hang back and sort out entertainment

for the big day.

What? But aren't you going to be the headliner

for the year of Tara?

Of course.

Which is why I need the best accompaniment.

I know just the person.

[Nic] Hmm.

[Tara] Hey there, piano man.

You think Noah and Tara

have inspired each other in other ways?

Well, I don't know.

He's cute. I just don't know if he's really her type.

But what's her type?

I mean, I've never known Tara

to be in an actual relationship.

Let's go.

[footsteps]

There's a little bread for your jar.

Thanks. Almost enough to buy a whole loaf.

Well, I got another gig

if you wanna buy a loaf and some jam.

[chuckles] Sure. What is it?

How would you like to be my musical accompaniment

for my commitment party?

Wow, you're really going full on

with that whole thing, huh?

Yeah. That's how I roll.

So what do you say?

I don't know.

You could play some of your original hits.

Sure. Why not?

Great.

We only have a few days.

So tomorrow go over the playlist.

Yes, ma'am.

[footsteps]

[upbeat music]

You know what?

I do think it would be really cute

if we called it a wedding, just for the invites.

Okay.

Because I mean, Tara is kind of marrying herself.

Yes. [laughs]

And then people will be expecting

something super traditional

and they'll be shocked when it's something...

-Totally Tara. -Exactly.

[chuckles] Yeah.

I just really hope she's doing this for the right reasons.

You know what, I'm sure she knows what she wants.

-[Nic] Hey. -[Lauren] Hi.

[Tara] Hey.

Oh good, coffee. [Lauren laughs]

[Tara] Where's Syd?

Oh, she's checking out the kitchen to see if

it's big enough to cater the party or you know,

whatever you wanna call it.

Great.

And where are we at with the planning?

First on my list is the venue,

which we have, right?

Yeah. I have the club all booked, and...

-[Lauren] Okay. -I threw together a guest list.

It's just a small crowd of folks

I know will make it fun.

My office computer has all the contacts,

so feel free to use it.

Okay. Perfect.

So Nic, why don't you and Syd handle that?

And how about you and I go look at that fab outfit.

Yes. [laughs]

Let's do this.

All right you guys have fun. Okay?

[Lauren] All right. Let's go.

So what you thinking?

[Tara] So I was thinking something chic

like maybe a little leather.

Some like sequins, not together.

[bluesy music]

[Syd] Wow.

Looks like I'm not the only one who hangs onto stuff.

[Nic] Hmm. Hmm.

There we go. Invitations sent.

-Except... -What?

[sighs] I don't know, this list that Tara gave us,

I don't recognize any family on here, do you?

Uh no. But Tara doesn't really talk about her family.

What about her mom?

I mean, they're close, right?

I guess.

Then we should send her an invitation

because she should not do this party without her mom.

I'm sure her contact info's in here somewhere.

[tablet chimes]

Oh, well I'd say that's a sign.

Hi Tara's mom.

Who are you?

Oh, I'm Nic.

And this is Sydney.

We're her friends from college.

Really? Is she there?

Uh, no, she's out right now with our other friend, Lauren.

They are shopping for her big day.

Big day?

That's right. Tara put a ring on it. [chuckles]

She's getting married?

Oh no, not really.

I mean it's, it's more of just a party

for her commitment to her--

What are you two doing?

[Nadine] Hello Tara. Is that you

-Tara? -It's me.

I can't believe it. My prayers have been answered.

You're getting married?

I'm sorry. What?

No, no. Not, not really.

No. It's more of a wedding, a marriage to herself.

Her husband. Yeah.

Yeah. I'm marrying a husband.

Who is he?

Is it that that man you sent me a selfie of on Christmas?

Yes. Yes.

That's the one.

It's all been very whoo! A whirlwind.

So that's why I haven't told you.

Well, I'm just so happy

my little girl won't be alone anymore.

I know, Mom.

When's the big day?

Uh, well we haven't figured that out yet.

But um listen, I, I have a work emergency to deal with,

so I have to go.

But I promise I'll call you later.

Love you.

[Tara] What have you two done?

[regretful music]

I'm sorry, Tara.

I thought it would be cute if the invitation

said that you were getting married.

I mean, you said so yourself.

You're making a vow to yourself.

So it's kind of like you're marrying yourself.

No. Okay no.

It's not the same.

And I know in your world, Nic,

everything is white weddings and roses.

But it's not in mine.

For the record, I didn't wanna take the call.

Okay. Can we just backtrack here?

Because what I don't understand is

why not just tell your mom what this whole thing

is about you committing to yourself?

Because she would never understand.

But you guys heard her.

She's been praying for me to find someone.

I mean, look at this.

This, this is what she sent me

last year as a Christmas gift.

Um, is this vintage?

It's her old wedding dress.

That's so sweet.

No it's not.

You don't give someone a wedding dress

that's not planning on getting married.

It is a bit passive aggressive.

She just doesn't get that I don't need to be with someone.

But since I'm her only child, she worries.

And I just keep reassuring her.

How?

By making her think that I'm not alone.

Okay, so remember that New Year's when we met?

I told Nic that my online date found someone else

to ring in the new year with.

But really it was because of me.

I told him to.

Why?

Because I just swiped on him to show my mom.

I wouldn't be alone.

So instead of being a total jerk,

I cut him loose in exchange for a selfie.

[Lauren sighs]

I have spent the better half of my 20s reassuring my mom.

So you can understand why it would crush her

to find out I'm committed to a lifetime of being on my own.

So that's what you're gonna do.

Doesn't sound very fab to me.

Well, neither does ending up like her.

I saw what it did to her when my dad left us.

[refelctive music]

And I'm not like you guys. Okay?

I'm not you, Nic, a romantic searching for my soulmate.

And Syd, I'm not like you.

I've never pined after anyone.

And Lauren, despite some bumps,

you really found a good guy in Peter.

I'm better on my own. Okay?

So now we just need to figure out

how to fix this whole mom issue.

Why don't you just tell her the wedding's off?

-Yeah. -Yeah.

It looks like she's okay with the fake dates

that don't work out.

You know what? You're right.

All I need to do is send her a few selfies

and me and my fiance maybe a quick video call

and then wait a couple weeks

and boom, wedding's off.

That's not what I meant exactly.

Oh, I don't wanna ruin her new year.

Plus this'll give me time to soften the blow.

Yeah. Now all I need to do is convince Noah to play along.

[upbeat music]

So this is my wedding playlist.

Why does everyone keeps calling this a wedding?

Um, well that's just a sample of the kind of songs

I play for those gigs.

But we can scratch all of that.

Maybe keep some of the Ed Sheeran, you know,

he is got it all going on.

Songs. The voice.

Why don't we play some of your songs?

You got it all going on too.

Well, thank you.

But you know, I consider myself more of a song writer.

Yeah, I sing my songs 'cause I have to. But...

I could try singing one of them.

Who knows, maybe with my voice it'd be a hit.

Well, that would be good for all sorts of reasons,

including making my parents,

who have a very strong opinion about what I do happy.

And uh wife, girlfriend, partner? How do they feel?

None of the above. So no judgment.

Great. 'Cause there's this other thing that I was wondering

if you'd help me out with.

-Shoot. -Nothing major.

Just a quick video call with my mom.

As, you know, my fiancé.

[playful jazzy music]

I'm sorry, what?

My mom is one of the ones

that thinks I'm getting married in the traditional sense.

So I just need her to think that I am for a couple weeks,

until I can call the wedding off.

Oh. Wow, yeah.

No.

Why not?

It won't mean anything.

But that's the problem.

Me saying I'm getting married

when I'm not actually getting married

is like bad luck or something.

And, and I've had enough of that.

So sorry, I'm gonna go.

Um, good luck with all that.

And uh...

But uh, our first rehearsal tomorrow?

I can bring along some of my originals

if you want to hear them.

I do. Yeah.

Maybe in the meantime you could just think about it.

Still no.

Got it.

[Noah whistles]

[keys jingle]

[car door opens]

[car door closes]

[Noah whistles]

[Noah humming]

No!

No, no, no, no, no, no.

Hey, hey.

Come on. It's still holidays, isn't it?

[Noah scowls]

[Noah sighs]

[playfully pensive music]

[Nic] Tara, you've got this.

You've got this.

-I got this. -Right?

It's just your mom.

-Okay. -Yeah.

Uh, It's just my mom.

Yeah, I mean, people call their moms all the time.

-All the time. -All the time.

-All the time. -Yeah.

-FaceTime. Yeah. -Just FaceTime.

Okay. Okay.

I got this. Let's do it.

[FaceTime ringing]

Hey Mom.

Tara, I've been calling you.

Yeah, I know. I'm sorry.

I'm sure you wanna hear more

about this whole getting married thing.

So, uh well...

-Here goes. -Hey Mom! [laughs]

Can I call you that?

I mean, it's kind of,

it feels kind of weird that I've never met you,

but um, I am Noah, your daughter's fiance.

-You are. -Yeah.

It's all so, so new. We're all so still surprised.

But so, so excited.

Isn't that right, sweetheart?

Yes. Yes.

We're, yeah, so excited. [chuckles]

Noah, of course.

I recognize you from the photo Tara sent.

See, you have kind of met, right?

And one day, you know,

in the new year when things are less busy,

I'm sure you will.

On that note though, we should probably get going.

Yeah.

But I promise I'm gonna get you caught up later.

Okay. Bye Mom.

-Love you. -Bye. Bye Mom.

So, that went really well.

I thought you said this was bad luck.

No worse luck than my van getting towed

by unpaid parking tickets.

And it's, it's kind of where I'm playing my hat right now.

So I kind of need a solid back.

Yeah, I see where you're going

with this whole mi casa su casa thing.

But I can't help you with a room.

But I'm, I'm sure there's a place

that you could park your van, like at the back of the club.

Because Noah, I mean wow.

How great is he for doing that.

Right?

Yeah, sure.

Park away.

-Yeah? -[Tara] Mm hmm.

Oh, thank you. Yes.

And I promise I'm not gonna be parked there forever

because I've got this feeling that Garth Bryant

is coming through town and when he does,

bam, I am outta here, sweetheart.

Yeah, about the whole sweetheart thing.

-It's too much? -A little bit.

I'm gonna...

[upbeat music]

I can't believe he's going to be your accompaniment

and your fiance.

Except isn't your mom gonna be crushed

when she finds out you broke off the engagement?

Yeah, but at least it'll give her hope

that it could happen one day.

But it still could.

Well, except for the whole committing to yourself thing.

But that's also about Tara pursuing her goals.

Although not being pressured is one of her goals.

Okay, can we get back on point here?

Look, I'm happy. My mom's happy.

Noah's happy 'cause he has a place to park.

So let's just be happy.

I gotta do a little work before I do rehearsal, so...

Oh, but I need you to sample the cake for the party.

Yes and Nic needs you to confirm decorations

before she picks it up.

Fine. Let's meet back in the lounge later.

[playful music]

I can't decide if I'm excited or freaked out.

Oh, I'm officially freaked out.

Hey Kyle?

If this music mogul comes in...

Could you let me know right away?

Is he a new boyfriend?

Seriously, have you not heard anything

I said the other night.

* Go sit in small town *

* Feeling all I want now *

* Ah *

* Birds calling *

* Rivers all alone *

Hey don't stop. That was nice.

Uh I'm just, I'm just goofing around.

Perfect parking spot, by the way.

Is that where you live, in your van?

Not always. Just when I'm out on the road.

It's easier. It's cheaper than finding a short term rental.

What about you? You've, you've always worked here?

Just the last few months.

Before that I was like you,

hopping from gig to gig.

This mean you've settled in?

If I get my big break, then I'll be outta here like you.

What's this?

That's a song that I sent to AMA Records.

And?

Denied.

Play it.

Yeah?

[gentle music]

* Shine a light on this road *

* Going west on the 201 *

* Still a family affair but I *

* Know that I won't see you there again *

* The part that you planted *

* Now they seem to outlive your magic *

* We'll never forget the way's you stood tall *

* Through it all in this small town *

* Like a ghost in this small town *

* We are left to figure it all out *

* Now *

* And you never *

* Oh you'll never give out *

[gentle music]

What, did I butcher it?

Uh no.

No, you made it sound incredible.

Told you.

Now, we should get rehearsing.

Yeah.

[upbeat music]

So, okay, let's put Billy Joel, "My Life" on the bill.

Of course, but you have to sing some of my originals,

because they sound way better with your voice.

Hey, all I'm doing is singing what you wrote.

So if it sounds great, it's because of you.

[Noah] Well maybe it's because of both of us,

Hey, you two.

Oh hey.

-I almost forgot. -What?

Cake tasting and stuff for the party.

Oh, I'll let you go then.

Oh no, no. You should stay. You should stay.

I mean, there's more than enough cake, right Syd?

Uh yeah, yeah.

Tons.

-Oh! -Wow! Did you make these?

Yes. Me and the chef from the diner.

Although he wasn't too happy when I took over his kitchen

until I showed him

Theo's grilled cheese with mayonnaise trick.

It is better than butter. [Nic chuckles]

Okay, everybody dig in.

Oh and then how about you two

do the tasting 'cause we've already eaten, so...

Seriously I'm starving.

Okay, well if you guys aren't game.

Wait!

I've entertained at enough weddings

to know this is how we're supposed to do this.

[Noah chuckles]

-Open up. -Okay.

[playful music] [all laughing]

Sorry if it's too much.

Okay, it's your turn.

-Really? -Mm hmm.

-Okay. -Yeah?

-[Tara gasps] -[ladies laugh]

Oh, you just got a little...

This didn't happen at my wedding.

-[Tara laughing] -Uh guys, I think you're missing

the essence of the tasting.

You know what, you might prefer vanilla.

Oh my! [squeals]

[Tara mutters]

[ladies laughing]

[both laughing]

[dog barks]

Hi, yeah. Mr. Lewis.

This is Noah Bailey.

Noah, yeah. Um.

I was just calling to see if you had a chance

to listen to any of those songs that I'd sent.

Yeah, no, I totally understand.

[sad music]

Yeah no, I just thank you for the, the consideration.

It...alright.

[sad music]

[motorcycle revving]

-Hey. -Hey.

Fancy meeting you here.

Yeah.

You good?

All good, yeah.

Just out for some fresh air. You?

Yeah, same.

Just working on the playlist in the van

and gets pretty stuffy in there.

-You wanna uh? -Yeah.

Yeah?

So your mom seemed pretty excited.

Guess that's a thing.

[scoffs] Yeah, that's a thing.

Yeah, she's pretty excited about the idea

of me getting married

even though her marriage ended, you know.

Guessing it didn't end well?

Well, not if you think a happy ending

is coming home from school, finding out your dad's gone.

Oh.

So sorry.

Well, yeah, life happens.

So you and your mom are pretty close then?

She was pretty torn apart when my dad left us.

So we did lean on one another except, you know,

that meant all of her insecurities

about being left alone fell on me.

Which has only made me more independent from it all.

You know?

Sorry, I don't normally talk about this.

So, uh. So what's going on with the playlist?

Oh yeah, uh.

Well it's done all except for the first song.

You know, the big number that kicks the night off

since this night's all about you,

I thought maybe you should pick that.

Maybe you can write one?

I don't write songs, I just sing them.

Well, maybe we could come up with something together.

Like you do lyrics, I compose the melody.

Well, that's not such a bad idea.

Except I've never tried writing anything before.

Don't worry. You know?

'Cause if the song comes from there, it'll be pretty great.

Anyway, I uh, I'm gonna continue on my path.

But uh, goodnight, Tara.

Goodnight.

[upbeat music]

It was amazing.

It was like the words just started flowing.

I mean Noah was right.

You just have to write what you're feeling.

So is this a love song or?

Kinda, I guess.

I mean, either way I just can't wait to hear

what melody he creates for it.

You writing this together?

It's my song, but I'm not a songwriter.

So either way.

It felt like...

Like?

Like therapy.

Who knows, maybe instead of telling my mom

that Noah and I aren't engaged anymore,

I'll write her a song about it. [chuckles]

[discouraging music]

Hello darling.

Mom! What uh?

What are you doing here?

What do you mean?

I'm here to meet the man you've decided to finally marry.

[Noah] Hey!

I know you don't want to call this thing a wedding,

-but I've got this idea. -Noah.

Tara's mom. She's here.

Right there.

-[Nic laughs] -Looks like we need

to add another shrimp to the barby.

[all laughing]

Noah, this is my mom.

Mom, this is Noah.

-Wow. -My mom in the flesh.

-Mm hmm. -Yeah.

It is such a pleasure to meet you. [chuckles]

-And quite the surprise. -It is.

Surprise to all of us.

But it's a great surprise of course.

We met by the way, on the video call.

I'm Nic.

-Hi. -Syd.

-Me too. -Lauren, Lauren.

We haven't met yet,

but it's a, it's a pleasure. [clears throat]

It's wonderful to meet you all.

Now what's this about the wedding?

Oh, that, well, you know me, I like to do things my way.

So when we do it,

it won't be a wedding in a traditional way.

No, no, that's right.

Because it's not just a wedding,

it's also a New Year's Eve party.

How fun is that? Huh?

You're getting married on New Year's?

Well uh-

No, no, not this...

Not this New Year's.

That would just be nuts.

[all laughing]

To say the least.

-Imagine. -Imagine.

Well, I'm just happy to meet you, Noah.

Perhaps we could all have dinner.

I'd like to be home before the new year,

so I'm only here for a couple of days.

[phone ringing] Perfect.

We'll get you sorted.

Tara.

There's someone on the phone RSVPing for your wedding?

[playful music]

I gotta...

I gotta, I gotta go, I gotta go.

[footsteps]

Look, I know it sounds crazy, trust me.

But I don't like all of the bells and whistles

and a big wedding would just freak me out.

So I figured I'd just have a small party here.

Do it and then surprise you.

But if you want me to wait, really I could.

[Mom sniffles]

Mom?

Oh my gosh. Mom, don't cry.

I am so sorry.

I should just be honest.

You're wearing my dress?

Of course I am.

[sniffles] Then small or not, we won't wait.

[unzips bag]

You're gonna look beautiful in it, I just know it.

[happy music]

[soft knocking at door]

Hey.

Hey.

You okay?

No, I mean this whole thing is getting way outta control.

It's crazy.

It's all these little white lies about the dates

and the boyfriends.

It was just to make my mom happy.

So she'd know I wasn't alone.

She was so sad when my dad left us.

I just didn't wanna upset her even more.

I thought it was harmless until now.

Sounds like it's been a lot of pressure on you.

Yeah.

It was.

It is.

You know, writing songs helps me unload.

You should try it.

Actually, I did.

What?

Give it up. [Tara laughs]

It's not much. I don't have a lot.

I don't have the chorus written.

Just, just give it up. Come on.

[unfolds paper]

[footsteps]

[gentle music]

Okay. Yeah, jump in.

* I don't know if you've been told *

* I'm searching for that finer gold *

* Someone that'll take my hand *

* That won't drag me down again *

That's really nice. Keep going, keep going.

* I don't know if you're the one *

* I don't want love that is too tough *

* I've seen all of what it can do *

* I've seen how we can only lose *

That's all I got.

That's pretty great so far.

Do you mind if I jump in?

-Just briefly. -No, go for it.

* So what would happen if I stayed *

* I'm used to leaving them this way *

* It's always been my path to run *

* Not look back on the fun *

How was that?

I like it.

Now for the chorus.

Yeah. Maybe we could add a little drama to it.

-Drama, right? -Yeah.

So something like...

[dramatic music]

[Tara laughs]

Too much?

Yeah, just a little. [both chuckle]

[gentle music]

[phone vibrates]

[sighs] It's the love club.

The what club?

Apparently my mom's been asking a lotta questions,

so I gotta go.

But make sure you write down what we just did

because seriously that was gold.

Don't worry. I will.

[Tara hums]

Hi. Oh, thank goodness.

So what happened?

Uh, well your mom was peppering me with

so many questions about the wedding

and I may have offered a few too many details

about the food and the venue and the flowers and...

Oh no.

So where is she?

She is with Syd going over the menu.

Um, but that is not everything.

What else is there?

Well, we are now officially

your bridesmaids!

-[Nic fake screaming] -[Tara laughing nervously]

[upbeat music]

Aren't these bottles for the party?

Yep, but seeing as you're my bridesmaids now,

we may as well have an impromptu shower.

Oh, thank goodness.

Oh! Your mom is intense.

Where is she?

She's back at the hotel.

I think she exhausted herself.

So this wedding is happening?

Does it really even matter what we're celebrating?

As long as it's a party.

'Cause honestly, all I want

is to ring in a year of something better.

Trust me, it may look fab but,

singing mediocre gigs and taking selfies with randoms

to appease your mom is not.

I mean to me, all of you are way more fab.

Lauren, you've got your art gallery.

Nic, you're a hot designer.

Okay and Syd, you got your restaurant.

What do I have?

A beautiful voice!

And us.

Aw.

[ladies laughing]

Oh, I have an idea.

Why don't you and all your men come move here

and we could start like a commune.

[ladies laughing]

I like that. The love club commune. [laughs]

So do I.

Except the reality is we are gonna have to go.

Yeah, of course.

You know, I love that the year of Tara

is about pursuing your dreams,

but I dunno, the idea of doing it on your own sounds lonely.

So why don't you just open up to the idea

of sharing your fabulousness with someone

and you can't convince us that you're not fab.

I agree.

In the words of the late great Patrick Swayze in "Ghost",

"Ditto".

Though, as unrealistic as this commune idea is,

I actually kind of love it.

I just think that maybe we should do it on a beach.

Yes, with a hot Latin bar tender called Carlos.

[ladies laughing]

-And I'm in. -I mean she likes 'em hot.

[Lauren sighs]

Coffee, it's like magic in a mug.

Hey, just a heads up.

My mom's gonna be joining us

after she calls about a minister.

Whoa, uh.

This is starting to sound really official.

I know, but it's like we figured out last night.

We just go through with it and then I soften the blow

by telling my mom that Noah and I are better off as friends.

And then boom, we get an annulment.

Okay, how come this plan sounded better

when Nic was pitching it last night?

-Where is she? -[Noah] Hi. Excuse me, sorry.

Did you just say annulment?

That's right.

Now that we have to actually get married.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

-I thought that- -Oh, you thought what?

That this train was gonna veer off the track.

Hey Mom, how'd the whole minister thing go?

Not as impossible to find one as you made it out to be.

Great. Get you a coffee.

-So Noah? -Yeah!

Where's the engagement ring?

I'm sorry, what?

It's getting resized, right, Noah?

In fact, Tara, weren't you just gonna go

-and pick one out. -Pick one up.

Pick one up this morning.

Yes. Yes, I was.

Actually, we were both gonna go.

Right? So we better hurry and get that ring.

See you later.

I have to go run a 20K or something.

Mm!

Well, just a jolly good day.

So back to the whole annulment business.

May I help you?

Yes. We need a few wedding rings, you know.

And an engagement ring and a few bands.

Nothing fancy.

They just need to fit.

First. Let's get you both sized.

Alright, let's see.

Yeah. Okay.

-Now let's try. -[Noah scoffs]

And here I always pictured my actual wedding

to actually mean something.

I'm sorry. What's your return policy?

Seven days.

Perfect.

So uh, what do you think?

Can you give us just a minute?

Okay. I get the whole trying to make your mom happy thing,

but this all feels like a poker bluff

that is gonna go seriously wrong.

Well, getting married is a gamble.

You can't be sure that whoever you're marrying

won't break your heart.

Okay. Yeah, I get that.

Maybe it is. [reflective music]

But the day I get married,

even if it's just for that one day,

I'll know how it feels to be so in love

that I can't see myself living my life

without that person walking down that aisle with me.

So yeah, that's a gamble that I'm willing to take.

I'm sorry, I have been so caught up

I haven't stopped to think about how this affects you.

So if you wanna call it quits, I get it.

Except I can't.

Because the thought of leaving you stranded

just feels so wrong.

And I mean, hey, we've come this far,

so you know what they say, if the ring fits.

And wedding bands. Yeah?

-Yeah, of course. -Yeah.

[both scatting]

I gotta say I sense a hit in the making.

Well, if Garth Bryant really is lurking around town

and hears it, I promise I will share the credit.

And I'll be happy to ride your coattails.

Seriously though, thank you for everything.

Well, it's been a wild ride

in a weird and fun kind of way.

Plus it's like you say,

we'll just annul it, like it never happened.

Right? Yeah.

You know, you can park at the club

for as long as you need to.

It's the least I can do.

Thanks, but as appealing as that sounds,

I'm still hoping to be back on the road to Garth's studio.

But hey, maybe we'll both be outta here.

Maybe.

I'm gonna stop and get a few things for the big day.

Okay, well if you're wondering,

I'll take a simple boutonniere, nothing too fancy.

Oh, very funny.

-It's funny. -Oh what?

What? I don't get a say in any of the planning?

[chuckles]

-[happy music] -Thank you.

Oh my.

Is that leather?

It is.

Isn't it fabulous?

Just came in for Tara.

I bet it's for New Year's.

-Oh really? -Mh mm.

Well, I'm her mother.

I'll take it and make sure it's hung in her closet.

Sure.

[Nadine] Thank you.

[happy music]

[Tara sighs]

[reflective music]

[woman harmonizing]

* I feel this deep *

* I can feel your heart beat *

* Buried in the sheets *

* Stretched out on the concrete *

* You don't have to keep it *

* Let it pass on through *

* You may not believe it *

* But I'll stay with you *

[singers harmonizing]

* Any way, anwhere *

[singers harmonizing]

* Any way, anywhere *

[singers harmonizing]

* Nothing left to say *

* We can hold the silence *

* When you are afraid *

* Oh, I'll turn on the light switch *

* You don't have to hide *

* Any way, anywhere *

[singers harmonizing]

[knocking at door]

Hey.

I need to ask you about the seating plan

which your mom is insisting on.

Uh, sure.

[Tara] Mmm.

Is this your dad?

Yeah, it's just the old photo I kept.

It's like the only one really.

How long after this did he leave?

[sniffles] A couple months.

[sad music]

You know, when I was on the verge of leaving my marriage,

I couldn't understand myself

how I can go from loving someone so much

to being ready to walk away.

But that's love.

You know, it has peaks and valleys.

Sometimes you go down the mountain together

and sometimes you don't.

Listen to me, it's no one's fault.

Wow.

What's all this for?

Oh yeah. It's, it's for the rehearsal dinner.

We're doing that?

Yeah. Well, I mean, we're doing everything else.

Plus your mom kept bugging me about it, so...

Can I see it?

-What? -The ring. [giggles]

[gasps] It's perfect.

Kinda is, isn't it?

Does this mean you're gonna keep it?

-I might. -Mh mm. Hmm.

I was gonna get one anyway to signify my commitment

to, you know, myself.

Mm.

It's really great of Noah to be doing all this.

Yeah. It is.

Especially since he's such a doomed romantic,

which probably makes him such a great songwriter.

I gotta tell you, this song we're writing

really feels like it could be something.

Oh really?

Maybe be like a "Rama Lama Ding Dong"?

-You know, together forever. -Yeah.

Oh yeah. Kind of like that.

Hey, Mom.

How was your sleep?

Better than your fiance?

I just saw him emerge from a van.

What's he doing sleeping in there?

Oh. I mean, he's just staying there

because my friends are staying with me.

Yeah.

Plus he's always up late writing music, so.

So he's a musician.

Could be worse.

Now who's gonna take me to see

where this wedding's unfolding?

You guys go.

Yeah. You guys. Go.

Just to the right.

Here?

Where you work.

Why not?

Why not a church?

Because I told you, you know,

I want it to feel more like a celebration

and hey, we got the minister.

-Oh. -Isn't that great, Syd?

We got a minister.

-It's great. -Yeah, he's great.

-Yeah. -What about your vows?

Have you written them?

Actually, we're, we're not doing vows.

No vows? Really, Tara?

If you were serious about this, which clearly you're not-

Actually the vows are gonna be sung

in a song to go with the theme of the venue.

That's right. Yes, they are.

Hmm.

Well, at least that's something.

Nice save.

[thoughtful music]

So I was thinking if we sing our vows

and we don't actually say I do,

then maybe we won't be officially married.

You really think the minister

or your mom won't find that out?

[sighs] Good point.

Yeah.

[door closing]

[Tara chuckles]

Wow. This is something.

And oh those are our, we got a sign.

-Yeah. -Got our own sigh.

We do.

Okay. Looks like everyone's here.

So please have a seat.

And the first course will be served.

No, why don't you stay on that side?

Yeah. Nadine, sit here.

[Nadine] Thank you.

Here we are.

Okay. This looks good.

-So Noah? -Yeah. Yes.

Tara tells me you're a musician.

Uh, a songwriter actually.

-Really? -Mm hmm.

Would I know any of the songs you've written?

Well, eh, um, no.

No. I, I haven't had anything produced per se,

but I am working on...

-I see. -But Noah

is an amazing songwriter.

I mean, you should hear the music he's written

for some lyrics I wrote.

it just took them to a whole other level.

I'm sure that it's only a matter of time

before everyone else recognizes how talented he is.

[Syd] Okay. Cream of mushroom soup.

[plates clanging together]

[Tara] Mm.

[glass dings]

I think it's time I said a few words

about this apparent whirlwind.

It caught me off guard because I know my daughter.

And I know all those times you told me you weren't alone.

It wasn't real.

But this, however this happened,

one thing's for sure that what you two have is real.

So to Tara and Noah, may this journey you're on together

continue to be full of surprises.

To Tara and Noah.

[glass clinking]

-Cheers. -Cheers.

-[Tara laughs] -[Noah exclaims]

Well, that was...

I know.

I don't think I've ever seen my mom so genuinely happy.

We definitely convinced her of something.

We sure did.

You're okay?

Yeah, I'm fine.

We should probably get some sleep before the big day.

Yes, ma'am.

[gentle music]

Oh, and, and Tara.

Thanks for believing in me.

[happy music]

Have we decided what we're wearing

now that we're bridesmaids?

I had Theo courier my old grad dress.

You really do hold onto everything.

Oh, good. You're here.

I, I wanted to show you your bouquet.

I tried not to make it too flowery, if that's possible.

You okay?

I don't know.

This all feels so wrong, but I kind of don't wanna stop it.

Does that make sense?

Totally makes sense.

Especially if you actually like Noah...

a lot.

Well, that would just be crazy, wouldn't it?

Oh it can't be crazier than all this.

Okay. But seriously, I just met the guy.

He's just doing me a favor.

Except what he's doing for you is pretty big.

Yes. He's literally marrying you.

Only for a few weeks and then it's over.

Well, except maybe it doesn't have to be.

Think about this.

When you think about the year of Tara,

does it make you feel happy to be alone

or with Noah?

[sighs]

This was so not the plan.

I mean, I was supposed to just have my year

and he wasn't supposed to be in it.

Well, you can't stop love.

Who's talking about love?

No one, right?

-Nope. -Nuh uh.

Ugh. Except stupidly I think I do.

I, I do love him in some weird way.

This is a disaster.

Hey! No, no, no, it's not.

Look at who you have helping you with all this.

Hmm?

It's the love club.

[ladies giggling]

Oh yeah. I guess this has turned into a bit of a mess.

A bit?

This train came off the tracks days ago.

But it can be set right

If you're honest and you just tell Noah how you feel.

No, I can't do that.

Tara, of all of us, you're the one to do the things

that none of us would dare to do.

Like get up in front of a room full of strangers

and sing your heart out.

It's why all of us live a little vicariously through you.

Mm hmm.

Then why does this scare me?

Because putting your heart on the line

is supposed to be scary.

Terrifying.

But it's okay

because you're gonna put your big girl pants on

in true fab fashion, tell Noah how you feel.

* 'Cause I don't know if you're the one *

* Do I love, that it's too tough *

* I've seen all of what it can do *

* I've seen how we can only lose *

* But baby when you're gone *

* Baby when you're gone *

* The sky just falls apart *

* Nothing heals except your heart *

* Oh *

* Oh *

That's a nice ballad you got there.

You, you are, you are Garth Bryant.

I, I didn't see you there.

Yeah, well that's the idea.

Tell you what, why don't you come visit me

in the studio in the new year

and I'm gonna help you take that little ballad,

turn it into a chart topping hit.

What do you say?

That would be amazing.

But um, but it's not my song.

It's, it's a collaboration.

Listen kid, I'm trying to give you a break here.

Okay? Just you.

Now you can either take it or you can leave it.

[Noah sighs]

Alright. Okay.

Good man.

-[Garth laughs] -Yeah.

Now we'll be in touch.

Alright?

[sad music]

-Ladies. -Hey.

Have any of you seen Tara?

Uh no, but I'm,

I'm sure the blushing bride and groom

will be arriving shortly.

-Ah! -Where's Tara?

Uh. I don't know.

Haven't seen her all day.

-Oh, you haven't? -Oh.

Can I have your attention?

I have an announcement I need to make.

So much for nerves.

She's going full drama on this.

This whole wedding has been a surprise to every one of us.

And you guys have been so supportive in making it happen.

But the reality is it shouldn't be.

So, Mom, it's time that I told you the truth,

which is Noah and I aren't really engaged.

I don't even really know him.

He's just some guy who happened to be at the right place

at the right time.

I never wanted to get married.

All I wanted was a party to celebrate me and my dreams

and to kickoff a year

where I don't have to explain myself

or pretend that I'm with someone.

And clearly that was an epic fail.

That is okay because I'm back on track.

And tonight I'm gonna have the celebration that I planned

and I'm gonna celebrate me and my commitment to myself

and the year of Tara.

[sad music]

Hey, whoa, what was that all about?

Don't you think I should at least get a heads up?

We were so close to actually-

Close to what Noah?

I mean, you are gonna go and live your life

and I'm gonna go and live mine.

So it's better if I just cut you loose now.

So you don't have to worry about any bad luck.

We both know that we're in this for ourselves.

So now you're free.

Go chase that record deal like you planned.

Have a banner year of Noah.

One more thing.

I need your van off the property by the morning.

[door squeaks]

Hey, what happened?

Pre wedding jitters?

Nothing happened, other than Noah got the break

that he came here for.

So I figured why wait for him to walk out on me

until after we're married and he takes our song

and makes it big without me.

Uh, are you sure that's what he's doing?

I mean, maybe you just need to talk to him.

I'm not you, Syd. Okay?

I'm not gonna give him a chance to make phony promises.

Maybe this is one of those signs that you believe in, Nic,

that I should just do what I had planned.

Because like you say, Laur,

honesty is the best policy.

So if you'll excuse me, I have a party to get dressed for.

[footsteps]

[door squeaks]

Ms. Williams. Hi.

You know what I,

I know you have a lot of questions for Tara.

I just don't think she's in any position to answer them.

I don't need to question my daughter

'cause I knew this whole wedding or party

or whatever you all concocted was a sham.

You did?

Of course.

I've watched Tara bumble through the stories

she makes up for years now.

But the difference here is

this story can have a happy ending.

So ladies, how you gonna fix this?

[jazzy music]

[pensive music]

[kitchen items clank]

[door slides shut]

[Noah sighs]

[ring box snaps shut]

I just don't believe that Noah would take her song,

their song, and record it without her.

I agree.

Especially if her mom saw their connection and,

but I swear that woman will see through your soul

if you let her.

Hey Tara friends, that piano man left you this.

Okay.

[happy music]

What are we gonna do?

Lace up ladies?

I don't have laces.

[Nic] I can't run in heels!

* When it all comes crashing down *

* We make the best, we take our time *

* Turn the lights off, don't say bye *

* Give ourselves another hour *

* When it all comes crashing down *

* We'll resign to simple life *

* I wrote you a million songs *

* Play them for you when I'm gone *

[footsteps]

[gentle music]

I'm sorry, Mom.

I don't know how all this got so outta control.

I mean, I know how, I just...

I convinced myself it was better to go along with it.

Better for you.

Tara, I'm the one who is sorry

that you feel you've had to prop me up.

Especially when you've needed propping yourself.

Mom, I'm fine.

I got this.

-I'm good on my own. -Tara, stop.

Your father leaving hurt, it hurt us both.

But I'll tell you one thing, I'd put on my wedding dress

and do it all over again.

'Cause you can't experience that kind of heartbreak

unless you've experienced love.

So what would sadden me the most from all of it

would be if it stopped you

from following your own true heart.

[upbeat music]

Hey Tara.

Check out the date I scored online.

I know what you said about the app,

but I'm really feeling it.

Ignore what I said. Go for it.

Hey, by the way, do you play piano?

Yeah.

One second.

Hi everyone.

I just wanna say thank you so much for coming out

and ringing in this new year and the year of Tara.

-Woo. -[guests applaud]

So to kick off the festivities,

how about a real crowd pleaser?

An Ed Sheeran cover.

[crowd cheering]

[crowd applauding]

Go!

On your cue or...

What are you doing here?

I figured you'd be halfway to Micah records by now.

You figured a lot of things,

like that I'd want to sing our song without you.

But why would I, when we make such great music together?

That's exactly why I called Garth Bryant back here.

Look. He's gonna leave.

Are you ready?

Ready.

[Tara chuckles] Change of plans everyone!

We'll get back to the Ed, but first.

We're gonna do an original song.

-[gentle music] -One, two, one, two, three.

* I don't know if you've been told *

* But I'm searching for that finer gold *

* Someone that'll take my hand *

* That won't drag me down again *

* But baby when you're gone *

* Baby when you're gone *

* The sky just falls apart *

* And nothing heals this heavy heart *

* Oh, oh *

* Oh, oh *

* So what would happen if I stayed *

* I'm here, you're still leaving I'm this way *

* It's always been my path to run *

* And I look back on the fun *

* But baby when you're gone *

* Baby when you're gone *

* The sky just falls apart *

* And nothing heals this heavy heart *

* Oh, oh *

* Oh, oh, oh *

[guests applaud]

[happy music]

So maybe this wasn't bad luck after all.

At least I hope not

because I've fallen for you, Tara Williams.

And even though I don't think we should get married tonight,

I do think we should give this a shot.

For real this time.

You and me. What do you say?

Well, I'll say,

I'll see you both in the studio.

-[both gasp] -Huh?

That's Garth! That's Garth!

[all laughing]

Fantastic. Fantastic.

Riley, get marketing on the phone.

Riley, wake up.

Oh my God.

I mean, did he, are we?

Oh!

[Tara laughs]

So, is that a yes?

Yes.

Yes. I think we should give this a shot.

Well here's to chasing the dream, together.

-[girls squealing] -[happy music]

[Nadine] Oh, give me a hug. [laughs]

[upbeat music]
