[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]
