Bon appetite, Radar.

Radar, come.

Here. Sit. Good girl.

There you go.

Morning.

Oh, did you have your usual

full continental
breakfast this morning?

And what are we treating
ourself to today, Alex?

All the nutrition
I need right here

in this efficient packaging.

As they say,

efficiency is the spice of life.

Mm-hm.

You know she takes
way better care of you

than herself, right, Radar?

Oh, how I cherish these morning
walks with my little sister.

So, what's on
the agenda for today?

Well, I don't keep my schedule
as color-coded as yours,

but it's such a beautiful day.
I think I'm going to teach

my yoga class in the park.

Will you please
finally come to one?

I will soon, I promise.

I have to finalize my training
schedule with the shelter dogs

so that the difficult ones
could be family ready

and adopted sooner.

So, more dogs.

Yes, more dogs.
It's my career, Sarah.

And your spare time.
All that volunteering,

it's noble, but it's a lot.

What's wrong with me
spending all my time with dogs?

They're sweet and they
love you unconditionally.

They're adorable,
but do you really want

a life partner who drools?

Fine by me as long
as they're reliable.

Come on, Alex.

What? You know that I'm right.

People love talking about
being there for each other,

then they bail. Dogs?

They would never.

It's kind of hard to bail
when you're on a leash.

Kidding, Radar.
We know that you're loyal.

Seriously, though.

There's all kinds
of men out there.

Like Jeremy?

Exactly. Like Jeremy.

I think I'm going to try cooking
him veggie rolls again tonight.

I still can't believe
he agrees to try your cooking.

I'm a terrible cook
who loves to cook,

and he loves me for it.

Well, I may not be looking
for a human life partner,

but that doesn't mean I can't
see that he's a good one.

- Man: Simon, stop!
- Ooh.

Hey! Simon!

Simon. Simon!

- Woman: Hey!
- I'm sorry!

Simon!

Sorry about that.

No, no, no, no, no!

Simon, come on!
Everyone is watching us.

What are you doing?

Stop!

Gotcha!

Hold this.

Stop it.

Sit!

Thanks.

Kinda got away from me there.

Yeah, I'm happy to help,

but, you know, it's important to
show your dog some boundaries.

Oh, he's not mine. No.

Simon belongs to a, uh, friend.

Well, it's nice
to meet you, Simon.

And it's nice to meet you.

Simon.

Unfortunate coincidence.

At least you weren't
the one to name him, I guess.

I think he actually
enjoys the humiliation I feel

when I have to say,
"Simon, sit."

Well, maybe try,
"Simon says sit."

But jokes aside,

dogs don't really have
that mean streak in them,

only people do.

Are you some kind of expert?

My name is Alex.
I'm a dog trainer.

I see dogs like Simon
in this park all the time,

and my expert opinion
is you can't be

in your head around dogs.

They like to be around
people they can trust

and people who
trust in themselves.

I'll keep that in mind.

Thanks again for the help.

Bye, Simons.

Ugh, I had to take that call.

The buyers in Milan want
to know if the fabrics from

my capsule collection
were sustainable.

Imagine they weren't.

That'd be crazy.

Oh, he's so calm.

He never likes
people right away.

Sometimes I wonder if
I'll ever get to date.

He's such a little gatekeeper.

You know, I always say,

you can't be in
your own head around dogs.

They trust you if
you trust yourself.

Wow. I love that.

Here he is.

Yes.

Okay, gotta go.
My little gatekeeper needs me.

Man: There he is.

Ah. Thanks, man, but I already
grabbed one on the way.

Don't tell me you were
trying again with Chloe.

I'm never trying.

Right, right.
So, rearranging your whole day

just to bump into her
and hold her dog

while she gets a matcha latte?
Yeah, not trying.

Okay, it's not my whole day,

and besides, you know,
matcha latte isn't that bad

once you get past
the whole dirt aftertaste.

Dude! I get that she's
successful and beautiful,

but I haven't seen you this
stressed out since you couldn't

get your hands on that Piaget
watch you wanted so badly.

That was a collector's item.

So, is that what this is?

What, just another beautiful
thing to add to your collection?

Okay, give me a little
bit of credit here. Alright?

Chloe, yes, is very beautiful,

but she's also smart
and cultured...

And very beautiful.

Mm-hm.

And for the record,
I'm not losing with her.

I'm losing with her dog.
This thing has no chill.

I mean, it goes crazy every
time I try and talk to her.

You don't need dating advice,
you need dog training advice.

That's actually not a bad idea.

I'm going to
take this after all.

Hey!

What do you mean actually?

Don't worry. I'll be back
for the pitch meeting.

I know just where to go.

Oh. Excuse me!

Uh, excuse me.

Hello? Hi. Excuse me.

Oh!

I am so sorry.

What are you doing?

I'm just trying to
get your attention.

Sorry.

Wait, you again?

Do you just go around
trying to scare people's dogs?

Look, the reason that
I followed you home...

Wait, no,
I didn't follow you home.

I, uh, went to the dog park,
asked about you,

which I thought was a long-shot,

but turns out you're
the Beyoncé of dog-owners.

Anyway, I wanted to
thank you again for

everything you did yesterday,
and...

Wow, I had no idea
someone with such short legs

could walk so fast.

Are you serious?

The dog. I meant the dog.

It's important to set
the pace with the dog

so they know who's in
command of the situation.

Right.

You said, "and?"

Yes, I need professional help.

Well, that we can both agree on.

With a dog.

You said that wasn't your dog.

It's not,
but I might want it to be.

So, you want help
stealing a dog?

I mean, what is wrong with you?

What? No! I...
Okay. Let me explain.

I want your help
to win over a dog,

so I can win over its owner.

I am a dog trainer,
and a good one at that.

I do not train people,

and I certainly don't get mixed
up in people's dating schemes.

I just need a dog trainer.

The dog eases up,
I got a shot with her.

Name your price.
It's a win-win-win.

That's not how this works.

You can't fake it with a dog.
You really have to show up.

Show me how to show up.

Look, as I said,
I am a dog trainer.

If you're looking
to meet someone,

why don't you go
swipe left or right or up

or whatever people do.

Swipe up?
What kind of apps are you using?

Help me and, um...

What is that?

I will help you make
flyers that don't make people

want to throw
them in a shredder.

I'm an advertiser.
It's what I do.

Just think about it?

Think about it!

Hey.

Oh, my gosh.

Are you finally
joining my yoga class?

Are you actually doing something
for your own well-being, Alex?

Still booked solid,
but I thought I'd come

say hi to my little sister
before my next client.

Okay, well, if you don't
have time to salute the sun,

then please take
the time to eat something

other than a power bar.

Alex: Hi, Gabe. How are you?

Gabe: Good, what can I get you?

The usual.

Oh, I nearly forgot.

Alex: What's all this?

"This should help with the stain

and here's that
coffee I owe you.

Text me if you're game
to help this old dog

learn some new tricks."

Thanks, Gabe.

Am I, I don't know,
missing something?

Remember that guy that
couldn't handle that anxious dog

that destroyed
everyone's picnic?

He tracked me down
and he wants me to help him.

So, why do you have
that look on your face?

I mean, it sounds like
he desperately needs it.

No, it's that he's trying
to use this poor little dog.

Either way,
it sounds like the dog

could fully use the training,

and it's not like you to turn
someone away when they need you.

You need to turn
that dog into date bait.

Alright, well, I have to go.

I will think about it, okay?

Have a good class.

Simon: Come on.

Stop. Stop. Drop it!
Stop it! Stop it!

These are not for you!

Chloe: Be careful, Simon.

Let go, Simon.

Whoa!
Strong for a little guy.

Come on.

Okay, that's enough, precious.

It's fine.

Simon, stop.

Oh, no. It's okay.
He didn't bite me.

No, I mean you.
You're upsetting him.

He's anxious enough
around strangers.

Come here, my baby.

I just can't
leave him like this.

But I got us
reservations for Carbone.

And you will definitely love it.

When I was still eating gluten,
I died for the lobster ravioli.

You understand that I can't
leave him like this, right?

Yeah, of course.

I hope he's okay.

I'm just going to...

Yeah.

Great, keep him close to you.

Then come around.

Yup. There you go.

Sit.

Can you sit?

Good boy.

Alright, that's it.

You are a star student,

and I have a reward for
you for all your hard work.

- Wow.
- There you go.

Thanks, Alex.

Bye, Anne.

We gotta stop meeting like this.

Well, we could if
you'd let me book a session.

Your dog park is just
around the corner from Chloe's.

Wow.

- Mm-hm.
- That bad, huh?

Worse, actually.

Well, that's pretty standard
behavior for stressed out dogs.

Let me guess,
you brought her flowers,

but you didn't
bring the dog anything.

What, am I supposed to
bring the dog flowers, too?

Come on. What?

Okay, listen.

This isn't about you,
and there's no quick fix,

but dogs need consistency,
they need to trust you.

So, bring a treat
every time you see him,

and he'll start to
associate you with good things.

Did we just have
our first session?

I was helping out
a dog in distress.

Fine, you know dogs,

but I know people.

And?

And someone who had no intention
of taking me up on my offer

wouldn't still have
that note in her pocket.

Wh... Come on.

Settles that.

It's too late.

See, advertising 101,

I won the second
I got your attention.

So, that's advertising?

Everything's advertising.

And just like when
I'm in a pitch meeting,

I'm not going to wrap
until I get a yes.

You didn't get a yes.

Didn't I?

I'll see you Saturday
for our first session.

And don't worry,
I won't be late.

Hey, well, maybe our first
lesson should be in listening!

Ready for your first lesson?

We agreed I'm hiring you
as a dog trainer,

not a personal trainer, right?

Okay, I barely agreed to this,

and you don't need
a personal trainer

so much as you need
a life coach,

but we'll just breeze
right past that.

This is a lesson
for you and the dog.

I thought we would
start far away from

patio furniture
and restaurant patrons,

because I think you have
a shy dog on your hands.

Did you see what
he did to the picnickers?

I know,
Simon was very badly behaved.

It's too easy.

Look, I know he seems unruly,

but I think
he's just overwhelmed.

Chloe does tend to take
him to busy, trendy places.

Right, and 15% of dogs are shy,
and, like people, they need to

be eased into
unfamiliar situations

and slowly get
to know new faces.

But here, it's perfect.
There aren't any people

and he can expend any
pent up nervous energy.

Okay, great. So, the lesson
is take the dog outside.

Back up. The lesson is
get comfortable yourself,

then you can
take the dog outside.

I'm not shy.

That is clear.

Thanks?

It's not about you being shy.

Dogs can sense
when something off.

So, if you're nervous
or if you're giving off,

uh, some kind of
try-hard vibe...

So, your expert opinion is
the dog doesn't like my vibes?

I give off great vibes.

It's why I have all
the top clients in my firm.

Mm-hm. Uh-huh.

How do I fix my vibe?

Get comfortable
with yourself and the dog.

That shouldn't be too hard.

So, take Radar here.

She's sweet,
non-judgmental, fun.

You can be yourself,
and she'll love you for it.

Just be myself.

Yes, while petting Radar.

Alright.

Hey, girl.

Yeah.

You're a sweet girl.

Here, why don't you
take the leash?

Alright.

Out here you don't have to
worry what people think of you.

I don't care what
other people think of me.

You definitely do.

Isn't it your job to know

exactly what
people are thinking?

Yeah, I guess.

And meant to give them
exactly what they want?

Yeah, but don't you do
the same thing with dogs?

Not at all. I care about
what dogs are feeling.

I give them what they need,
not what they want.

It's a partnership.

Partnership.

Hi.

Hey. I won't keep you.
I just wanted to check in

to see how you were doing today.

Oh well, I've been running
all over town, but I'm good.

Good. Ha. Um...

Listen, I know you have
a lot on your mind,

but I also know that

you never forget that
today is Dad's birthday,

and you also don't
like to admit that

it's a really hard day for you.

Maybe that's because he
doesn't deserve our attention

or our tears.

Sarah: I'm not asking you
to cry, Alex,

but I also don't think
that we need to pretend

that he didn't walk out on us
or that we weren't hurt by him.

It just feels
like there's always

something there to remind us.

Whether it's his birthday,
the day he left, Christmas.

Maybe I just need to pretend
that I'm okay, even if I'm not.

But I know that
it's hard on you, too.

You were barely three years old.

But you grew up to be amazing,

and that's why I don't need
anyone else but you and Radar.

I'm not going to ruin
this moment by telling you

that that is incredibly cheesy.

Love you.

Love you, too.

I'm not, like, outdoorsy,

but this is
actually really pretty.

Are we going to one of those
super secret VIP concerts?

My friends were
invited to a party

by this remote waterfall.

It turned out to be the most
exclusive Rhianna concert.

Uh, no, this isn't one of those.

Oh.

Is this, like, research for
a client or something?

No, um...

What, so, are you just, like,

into nature?

Yeah, I thought
a calm place like this

would be perfect for Simon,
you know?

There's not a lot of people,

and he can expend any
nervous energy he has.

I'm so sorry. This...
This was a lame idea.

You deserve a VIP concert.

This isn't lame at all.
I love that you thought of him.

Most guys I date just kinda
brush him off, you know?

You included him.
It's really thoughtful.

Well, I think
under all the bravado

he's a big softie.

And which Simon are
we talking about here?

See? He's warming up to you.

Are there black flies out here?

I don't know. Maybe. Why?

I'm allergic to their bites.

And while I love
how much he's loving this,

I'm worried I might
need an Epipen

or twist an ankle, or both.

Ow. Yeah, they're...
Ow!

You know what?

This whole date has gone
from lame to dangerous.

Come on, let's get out of here.

Alex:
Come on, Simon.

Simon: Run, Simon!

Wow, and you printed
them all off, too?

All printed and ready to post.

Thank you so much.

Do you think this will
help Rusty find a good home?

Course it will.
Who could say no to that face?

Just be me in a forest.

Excuse me, are you lost, sir?

Very funny. Can I come up?

Lesson one failed.
Man, do I have a story for you.

Can't wait to hear it.

This should be a fun visit.

Yeah, well,
it's too bad I didn't have

a couple gallons of bug spr...

Oh, I'm sorry.

Uh, Simon.

Jacob.

Jacob and I volunteer
at a shelter together.

He's the most
dedicated one there.

Oh, no. Alex, that would
most definitely be you.

She helps us train
and rehabilitate

the most troubled dogs
so we can find them happy homes.

These days it feels
like I can't keep up.

Capacity's a real problem,

but you didn't come here
to talk about all that.

I'm assuming you're here
to discuss a certain date?

Oh, are you two dating?

Both: No.

His romantic issues
are with a dog.

Oh, sounds complicated.

Yeah.

I'll leave you to it,

but I'll see you
this week at the shelter?

You bet. Thanks again.

My pleasure.

Nice meeting you.

Yeah.

So, should we be talking about
my love life or, uh, yours?

What?

Jacob.

That is someone to swipe up on.

There will be no swiping.

Come on. He's a handsome
do-gooder who clearly likes you.

Seems like a no-brainer to me.

Back to you.
So, lesson one was a failure?

Yes, the secluded nature
date was a complete bust.

Well, I did suggest it as a dog
training tactic, not a date,

because again,
I am not a dating expert.

Clearly.

That whole process
is contrived anyway.

So, dating's a bit of
a sore spot for you?

No, it's just not
a part of my plan.

Right, so you don't plan
on dating, like, ever?

I want to focus on work

instead of trying to
impress other people.

I choose to spend
my time with someone

who loves me unconditionally,
like Radar.

Normal people date other people.

No offense, Radar.

Well, you are just full
of insights this evening.

I will take that
under advisement,

but right now I need
to hang these flyers.

Alright. I'll join you.

What?

Poor Rusty's gonna be homeless
for the rest of his life.

Why!?

Okay, first of all,
you gotta post these online,

not on telephone poles.

What year do you think it is?

And second of all?

"Older arthritic dog.

Needs a home once
his worms are fully treated.

Home should be well-ventilated

and requires
large outdoor space.

Do not adopt this dog

if you aren't ready
to put in the work.

Way to sell the dream.

People need to have a realistic
view of dog ownership.

So many dogs are abandoned at
our shelter because they think

owning a dog is just
cuddles all the time.

I get that, but this is,
uh, a little bleak.

Okay, well, what do you suggest?

Well, tell me about Rusty.

What's he like?

Arthritis and worms aside.

He's the sweetest dog.

He's affectionate and smart,

and he's great with kids.

Alright, well,
why don't we let Rusty

shine a little bit, shall we?

What if we said,
"Looking for an affectionate,

obedient dog
who's great with kids?"

Mm-hm.

"Rusty needs a home
and lots of love.

House trained
and ready to be cared for."

I guess that is a bit better.

Yeah, you can get
your point across

without the scary disclaimers.

There are lots of people out
there looking for dogs to love.

I know that there are
good dog owners out there.

You know, the same could
be said for someone

looking for a relationship.

That's a bridge too far.

You know,
for someone who loves dogs

for their big-hearted sincerity,
you're surprisingly cynical.

I have my reasons.

So, I guess you don't want
to get into it right now?

Alright, well, why don't we
grab something to eat instead,

'cause I'm starving.

I have dinner.

What is that?

It's a power bar. Saves me time.

Yeah, it also saves on flavor.

7:00 o'clock.
I know the perfect place.

So, where are you taking me?

Nowhere with
a guest list I hope.

Do you like sandwiches?

Sandwiches?

Mm-hm.

You criticize my power bars,

and you're taking me
to get sandwiches?

You know, I have
peanut butter at home.

Not just a sandwich.

The sandwich.

Right this way.

Simon, where have you been?

I was starting to think that
you found a new sandwich guy.

Diego, you know
you're my one and only, man.

Hey, yeah.
We'll get two regulars.

Yeah.

You like spicy?

Love it.

Extra spicy.

Perfect.

Leave it to you
to find the trendiest

sandwich spot in town.

Okay, you say the word
"trendy" like it's a dirty word.

It's for a reason.
Diego bakes his own bread.

He marinates
the chicken overnight.

He grills his own vegetables.

- Wow.
- Exactly.

Here you go.

Oh. Oh, you did it again.
Thanks, man.

Both: Wow.

Every time it's a masterpiece.

Careful,
or you're going to give me

one of those Gordon Ramsey egos.

So, tell me,
do I get the honor of

meeting your
special someone here?

Um, no. She's not, um...

She's my dog trainer.

Your dog trainer?

My, um...

I'm training
his girlfriend's dog.

You brought your girlfriend's
dog trainer out on a date here?

She's not my girlfriend.

Like, we've only been
out a few times...

And this is not a date.

It's complicated.

Anyway, Alex here
has no time for food,

and she's been eating
nothing but protein bars.

So, I had to bring her here
so she could experience

what she's been missing out on.

Oh, Alex,
you're breaking my heart.

A delicious meal is
one of life's greatest joys.

Second to great love,

and Mexico winning
the World Cup.

These require two hands,
unlike your protein bars.

Mm.

Wow! What is this!?

This is the regular,

and you wouldn't be eating it
if it wasn't for this guy.

Diego. Careful,
or you're going to make me

sound like a good guy.

Thanks.

Wow. How is I that
I have you to thank

for this little piece of Heaven?

Diego and I, uh, we go way back.

And?

I helped him with
a bit of advertising,

and we got one of the top
food critics to come out

and experience his amazing food,

and, uh, the line-up's
been crazy ever since.

So, you use your power of
persuasion for good, too.

Alright, admit it.

Human food is good.

If you have the time,
it's great.

Alright, I'll take
that as progress.

So, when is the next lesson?

Tomorrow. I am going to
take you to the animal shelter.

Alright, I have a pitch
meeting in the morning,

but, uh,
I'll meet you right after.

Great.

- Goodnight.
- Goodnight.

Alright, so what do the clients
want for this rebrand?

They're looking for sleek. Aspirational.

Gwyneth meets Tesla, you know?

For dog food?

I know we got a lot of clients,

but, uh, did we
mix up the files?

We are talking about
Good N Happy Dog Food, right?

We are.

Look, I'm just reading from
the brief they sent over.

Cutting edge. Clean eating.
Bio. Organic.

Cleanse culture.

Of course.

They're just looking for
the basic Goop aesthetic.

Like every other client we have.

Okay then.

I think we should give them
exactly what they want.

I mean, we always do.

Okay.

I'll get some concepts
sent over to them.

Thanks,
and once they approve those,

I'll run point on
the campaign shoot.

Deal. Thanks.

- Two coffees.
- Oh, whoa.

I'm taking your advice
to always bring treats.

Good boy, Simon.

Hey, Jen.

Need a hand?

Oh. Thanks, Alex.

I think I'm okay, actually.

Jacob showed up
early this morning to

help me with the packing.

Packing?

The landlord called to tell us
he's selling the building.

We have to be out of here
by the end of the month.

But that would mean
shutting down the shelter.

You have to fight this.

Alex, I've been
fighting for months.

It's a lost cause.

Let us help you.

I can't let you
help anymore, Alex.

Between running your business
and volunteering here,

I'm surprised you get any sleep.

Why don't you buy the building?

I would if I could.

I guess I just don't
have the means, uh...

Simon. Your newest volunteer.

Nice to meet you.

Volunteer trainee.

Forgive him. He's used to
dealing with corporate clients

that have tons of
money to throw around.

Well, I admire your ambition,
Simon, but if you'll excuse me,

I have to get more
stuff from the back.

So, you're volunteering
here now, too?

Yes. I, uh, guess I am.

Alex:
The end of the month?

That doesn't give us enough time
to find homes for these dogs.

I know, Jen is devastated,

but the landlord's just
not budging on the timeline.

I gotta run, but we're going
to figure something out.

What if we held a fundraiser
to help Jen buy the building?

Well, the building's expensive,
and we only have a couple weeks.

Yeah, but I could secure
a location and sponsorship

from my clients.

We're leading the ad campaign
for Good N Happy dog food.

It's kind of perfect.

I could invite my clients.

They'd love a cause like this.

Yeah, but it would have
to be exclusive, right?

We want people to pay
top dollar to attend.

Oh, we could hold
a silent auction.

Are you sure
you want to do this?

Well, what can I say?

I'm feeling inspired.

So, Ziggy is a rescue,

and he might have been abused,

so just be careful with
how you approach him.

Pet him like this
and say his name gently.

Alright.

Hey, Ziggy.

Hey.

That's a good boy.

I think he likes you.

Must be my natural charisma.

So, should I give
him a treat, or?

With dogs like Ziggy,
we like them to do something

in exchange for a treat,
like shake a paw.

Huh. How come?

He didn't feel very secure with
people when he first came in.

So, he's more comfortable
with a clear hierarchy

and little jobs to do.

Huh. So, he prefers structure
and he has trust issues.

Anyone here that
could relate to that?

Oh, well, that's pointed.

Would you prefer an eager
to please lovesick pup?

Ouch.

Tell him to sit, shake a paw,

and then comes the treat.

Okay. Ziggy.

Sit.

Paw.

Good boy.

- That was great.
- There you go!

Well, that was really cool,

but I'm not sure it's
going to impress Chloe.

Right.
Well, maybe the takeaway here

is the give and take
in a relationship.

Uh, which relationship
are you talking about?

Okay, you're saying that I try
too hard and there's no...

What's the word you love to use?

Both: Partnership.

But hey, I'm a dog trainer,
not a relationship expert.

What do I know? I could show
you how to get doggy Simon

to bring her a flower, though.

Yeah, I don't think
she likes flowers.

Okay, well, what does she like?

Designer clothes.

I don't think those belong
in a dog's mouth. What else?

Matcha lattes.

A small token.
Something thoughtful.

Um...

What do you guys talk about?

Honestly, it's kind of hard to
talk much with bad Simon around.

There are no bad dogs, Simon.
Only badly trained dogs.

Let's go about this
a different way.

What do you like about her?

Well, well. That's easy.

She's super successful.

She's, uh, cool.

Beautiful, and, uh...

Look, I just want
a chance with her.

Well, at least you're
making progress with dogs.

Do you feel like this look
is good for the event?

Hi!

Sorry, we're running
a little late.

Addison is wearing my designs
in Cannes this year.

She had a last minute
change of heart

about a few of the designs.

Simon. Sit.

Good boy.

We'll give you some privacy to
try on the rest of the outfits.

Let's go get you some coffee.

Ever since I switched
to an alkaline diet,

I don't keep any in the house.

You know, that drink order
was really something.

Well, why would I compromise
when I know what I like?

Wow, I guess the forest path
wasn't a fluke after all.

Simon's being such a good boy.

Hm.

I could get used
to hearing that.

Well, I don't have
to worry about

getting my steps in
when I'm with you.

Is that a bad thing?

Just an observation.

Oh, you've been
observing me now?

Yes.

And?

And...

What have you observed?

Well, um, you're very focused. Structured.

I am. I get a lot done that way.

You do. You get a lot done for
other people and their dogs.

So?

So, if you're always focused
on helping other people,

how do you help yourself?

Oh, come on,
I had a full meal with you.

Yeah, you really know
how to treat yourself.

Is this about me
not dating again?

Well, luckily, you don't
need to worry about me.

Besides, you have
bigger things to focus on.

I love this view.

No.

Whoa, whoa. Easy, Simon.

I... I... I'm just...

I'm just going to go back
the way I came, alright?

It's good to face your fears.

Oh, yeah? And when's
the last time you did that?

Okay, we're done
talking about me.

We're here to help you.

I don't know how this is going
to help me or little Simon.

Your palms are sweaty, right?
And your heart is racing?

Mm-hm.

That's how a little dog feels

when he's around
the big threats of the world.

- Okay.
- So, I'm going to show you

a little trick to
help calm him down, okay?

Okay.

Imagine if this is a treat.

Yeah, my imagination
is not that good.

Especially when I'm about
to plunge to my death.

Okay.

When Simon gets upset like this,

I want you to hold this treat up

and I want you to
look him in the eyes,

and let Simon know that
everything is going to be okay.

Everything's going
to be okay, Simon.

Come on.

Hey, don't look down.
Don't look down. Look at me.

There you go.

Okay.

Your heart's
slowing down now, right?

Yeah.

I still don't know why you
had to scare me half to death

by bringing me up here, but...

Honestly,
I hadn't planned on it,

but I figured
why not be spontaneous?

Break out of my rigid structure.

It's beautiful, right?

Wow.

So, what do you think?

Well, it's slick.
It's pretty, uh...

It's so boring.

It looks just like the mock-ups,
though, you know?

I know,
we always give the clients

exactly what they want,
but it's just...

It's got no life, you know?

We need something
more interesting

for the dog food display.

So, what are you thinking?

I know what we need.

Or rather who we need.

Sit.

Yes.

Uh-oh. Canine emergency?

Let me guess.
Christ Evans needs you to

train his mother's bichon.

Very funny. No, it's Simon
asking if Radar and I can

help him out on set for
a commercial he's shooting.

Actually, he says, "Need you."

Do all of your handsome
clients talk to you that way?

He's only a client
so I can help him win over

some gorgeous model
turned designer.

I looked her up on TikTok,
not my finest moment, okay?

And yet he's texting you
in his hour of need.

Interesting.

Stop, he said he needed a dog.

Anyways, you better get going.
I'll finish up here.

Don't wanna keep
Don Draper waiting.

Go fetch her
a human relationship.

If I wanted a relationship,
it wouldn't be with someone

who isn't house-trained.

Well, I can't speak
for his training,

but he seems like a man who
knows how to ask for help,

and that is more
than most people I know.

Come on, Ziggy. There you go.

Come on, boys. Come on.

Oh! Hey!

You made it!

Hey, guys.

Hey, thanks for coming, huh?

Oh, man. Do I owe you big time.

Your tab's getting pretty big.

Simon, you know, I'm not sure
this is such a good idea.

Ziggy's really uncomfortable
in unfamiliar environments.

Are you sure it's Ziggy
you're talking about?

Hey. It's going to be okay.

An expert dog trainer who
is going to save this shoot

taught me that trick.

And besides,
these guys don't bite.

At least not as much
as your usual clients.

Hey, everybody. This is Alex.

Alex, meet everybody.

Hi.

- Hey.
- Okay.

Should we get started?

Ziggy!

Sit.

Good boy. Down.

Good boy.

Okay, Radar.

Roll over.

Good girl!

You know what? I have an idea.

They say that
I'd just call it quits

They said I'd call it

Whenever I would
face a complication

Simon:
Smile for the camera, Ziggy!

They underestimate my grit

My hand is steady, yeah

I'm never shaken

See me dining at the Ritz

All my girls and I

'Cause, baby, we earned it

And we know we're worth it

If you think that I'm a ditz

You'll be thinking twice

Yeah, nice!

Look under the surface

Ooh, baby, I'm certain

Yes!

Oh, baby, I'm certain

Okay, that's a wrap everyone.
Great job.

- Yeah.
- Thank you so much.

Sorry.

I am just going to...

- Okay.
- So, you're the one

who's been training
Simon how to date.

I'd say more
teaching him how to behave,

and maybe love
dogs along the way.

Oh, yeah?
So, what's the guiding principle

of the dog lover's
guide to dating?

Don't date anyone who can't keep
their tongue in their mouths?

I get it.
You want to keep the tricks

of the trade to
yourself for now.

Well, whatever you're doing,
it's working.

He's been one happy pup.

Am I interrupting?

You? No.

Just asking about
little Ziggy here.

Actually, this lovely guy
is looking for his forever home.

- Oh?
- Yeah, he lives at the shelter

I volunteer at.

Ah, we volunteer at.

Uh, you've been once, Simon.

Well, I mean, who could
walk away from this good boy?

Well, I've learned
that people can

walk away from
just about anything.

Actually, yeah, the shelter
might shut down if they can't

raise enough money
to buy the building,

so we're organizing
a fundraiser,

and I was thinking
maybe we could tap

Good N Happy Dog Food
to be a sponsor.

Yeah, it'd be great
for their image.

Yeah, we'll talk to
some of our clients.

I mean, they're always
looking for a good cause.

Malcolm:
I mean, I can make some calls.

You know I can't resist
those adorable eyes.

Are you guys heading out?
I can walk you home.

Uh, I'm sure we can find
our way to the shelter.

But I do know how much Simon
loves his walks, so come on.

Well, that was a lot of fun.

Shooting a commercial
is your idea of fun?

It was once you showed up.

Come on, admit it. We had fun.

Alright, fine.
We had a good time.

Now, I think it's time
we had some real fun.

Oh, can't imagine what
you consider real fun.

You're judgmental tone
is very hurtful to me.

Just come with me.

Don't overthink it.

Alright, fine.

You're joking right?

This is where we throw
caution to the wind.

I should really be
selling tickets to the gala.

No, no. No work.
Not even for the shelter.

Today it's just us and the axes.

That sounds like the last
thing I'll ever hear.

Oh, it's exactly the opposite.

Today is the first day
of the rest of your life.

What?

Ah, alright.
Let's see what you got.

Ooh.

Another miss.
You're pretty terrible at this.

And it bothers you so much.

Okay, I'm done. I'm done.

No, no. Hold on.

You just got to, um...

loosen up a little bit.

First of all, I don't get loose,

and I hate to lose, so.

I'm going to put it in
terms that you can understand.

Alright?
Don't look at it as losing.

Look at it as training.

- Okay.
- Okay?

Alright, so give me
some tips then, coach.

Thought you'd never ask.

Okay, first of all, you gotta
get your arms a lot higher.

Higher, yeah.

Now, this next part should
come very naturally to you.

You have to remain rigid.

Very funny.

Never mock a woman
with an axe in her hand.

That's perfect.

Let's just get your throws

as sharp as your comebacks.

So, now, I want you to
conjure in your mind's eye...

Yeah?

My studly form
as I throw the axe.

"Studly?"

Now you're just trying
to make me miss my shot.

Miss?

No, I want you to
take a real shot.

Alex, I...

Whoa!

Sorry. So sorry. Um...

You know,
actually I should get going.

I should go check on Radar,
but, um...

thank you for the lesson.

Yeah.

Hey.

What are you doing back here?

I thought you and Alex
would be gone for the night.

Ah, nah. We just went to
unwind at Jack Axes for a bit,

and then she had to go.

So, what scared her off?
You or the axes?

What do you mean?

I don't know, you guys
seemed to be hitting it off

at the photo shoot.

I thought maybe...

Nah, nah, nah.

Alex and I are just friends.

Maybe I thought for
a split second, but, uh...

She doesn't even date.

What? Like, at all?

No.

Wow.

Yeah.

See ya.

Radar, I'm home!

Radar!

Radar?

What's wrong, girl?

Hey.

Good girl.

Voicemail: Hi, this is Sarah.
Please leave a message.

Sarah, call me back as soon
as your class is over, okay?

Voicemail:
Hi, you've reached Jen.

How come no one is answering?

Okay, this is
how much I love you, girl.

It's Alex.

Hello.
You calling for a rematch?

Alex: Simon?

What's wrong?

Radar hasn't moved
since this morning.

She hasn't eaten and her
breathing's really worrying me.

I need to get to the vet,
but my car's in the shop.

I really hate
to bother you, but...

You don't even need to ask.

You're home, right?
I'll be right there.

Simon, I'm really worried.

Simon: We're going to
get her to the vet

and she's going to be okay.

'Kay.

Gotta run.
Radar's gotta go to the vet.

Yeah. Yeah, of course.
Good luck, man.

Thanks.

Alright.

Hi.

You're a vet, too?

So, we'll get her into
the exam room and have a look.

Do you need any help with her?

I got her.

Thank you so much for
seeing us on such short notice.

I've never seen her
like this before.

Come along.

Hey, girl.

Okay. Tell me about
how our girl's been doing.

Well, she was really
lethargic this morning,

but I thought
she was just tired.

When I came home
she hadn't touched her food,

and it didn't look like
she'd moved all day.

Okay, could be a few things.

It's not a fever.
I checked a few times.

Okay.

No runny or dry nose.

That was very thorough.

Oh.

It's tender here.
A little swollen.

Might be a cyst. I'll have
to run more tests to confirm.

So, do we have to
come back tomorrow?

No, no. We're here now.
So, we might as well get it done

and then you don't
have to go home worried,

and we can help Radar,
of course.

I could stay with you,
if you want.

Well, I'll be calling
in a favor from

a friend of mine at the lab.

We could be here a while.

Yeah, we could be
here all night.

Yeah, I don't mind staying.

I want to make sure you're okay,
and Radar.

Okay, fine.
You can keep Alex company

and I'll take care
of everything else.

We better get started, hey?

- Oh, my gosh.
- Oh.

I can't believe we fell asleep.

What's going on? How is she?

She's fine. She's resting.

I've run a whole
battery of tests,

and it turns out it is a cyst,

on her stomach,
which can be quite painful,

but the good news is
it's benign and treatable.

Thank goodness. Thank you.

Well, like I said,

anything for
my favorite patient.

So, I've cleared
some space in my schedule

so I can have it
removed tomorrow,

and then,
after a brief rest at home,

she should be right as rain.

Everything is going to be okay.

Wow.

It's such a relief.

I don't know how to thank you.

Go home, get some rest.

We'll take good
care of her here,

and then I'll drop her off on
my way home from work tomorrow.

- Goodnight.
- Goodnight.

Oh, man. That's good news,

and Radar's going to
be back tomorrow.

I'm so relieved. I don't know
what I would do without her.

Yeah, or Jacob.

The guy really
came through for you.

Yeah, he was amazing.

And I guess since
he works at the shelter,

he'll be coming
to the fundraiser.

Um, volunteer.

Hm?

He's a volunteer. It's pro bono.

- Right.
- Yeah.

Of course.

What a guy.

But you're right.

I should invite him
when he drops Radar off.

Oh, get that.

I can call her back.

No, no, no. It's fine.
I'm going to walk home.

I need some fresh air.

Alex, I can call her later.

Seriously, I'm fine.

Good luck with Chloe.

Thanks.

Jacob:
She's still a little groggy,

but she'll feel more like
herself in the morning.

Make sure she takes one
of those morning and night

for the coming days,
and if she's not up to eating

by tomorrow afternoon,
call my office for a follow-up.

You really didn't
have to do all this.

I know, you don't
like accepting help.

Not for myself, but for Radar
I'll make an exception,

and for the shelter actually.

Did you hear
about the fundraiser?

Jen told me a little
something about it. Your idea?

Simon's actually.

Gala's aren't really my thing,
but the shelter really needs us.

So, I'm trusting him.

Ah.

I think I've met with every
caterer in a 50-mile radius

trying to find someone who
can put on a black tie event

at the last minute.

Well, I cannot make canapes,
but I'll be there,

and it'll be nice to
see each other outside of

the shelter and work.

I wonder if you'll recognize me
when I'm not in scrubs.

Well, hopefully you'll recognize
me when I'm not in yoga pants.

Well, you take care
of our girl, Radar,

and I'll text you
about the event.

Sounds good.

Alright, you be good, girl.

Yeah.

- Thanks again.
- You got it.

This is exactly the inspo I need
for next season's designs.

Huh?

These vintage clothes.

Whenever I get stuck,
I just go back a few decades

and poof there it is.

Right, yeah. That's, uh...

That's great.

What are you thinking about?

- Alex.
- Huh?

I... I mean, um...

The dog trainer
that I told you about.

Yeah, the one that helped
you tame my little wild animal?

Yes. That's the one.

She's a miracle worker.

I still think it's
the sweetest you did that

for me and little Si.

Right.
Well, anyway, I'm helping Alex.

She's organizing this fundraiser
for the animal shelter,

and I've just been running
through in my head the things

that still need to be done.

Let me help. I love puppies.

Plus, I want to
thank Alex in person.

Look, I know how
busy you're with work.

I couldn't ask you to do that.

You're not asking.
I'm insisting.

Put my skills to use.

A gala isn't all that
different from a fashion show.

Well, uh, maybe you could
invite some friends who might be

willing to put some big bids
down on the silent auction.

Done. We'll make it
the event to attend.

Thanks.

Of course.
Anything for our furry friends.

Speaking of furry friends,
how's this one doing?

Great, he loves
vintage more than I do.

Maybe even as much as
he likes you these days.

Oh, my. You've got to try these.

Oh.

Oh, yeah. You need these.

Yeah?

Oh!

It's the hotel.

They just confirmed how many
people they can accommodate.

We're going to have to
start padding the guest list.

Padding.

That's it.

My next collection will
have bold shoulder pads.

Watch out.
You might just be my muse.

I'll have to add "muse"
to my Linkedln profile.

Sorry. I really do have to run.

See ya.

Malcolm: Hey.

Hey.

What are you looking for?

Any other clients we can
invite to the fundraiser.

We've been through that
client list twice already.

But I want to make sure
we didn't miss anybody.

I'm going to do everything
we can to help those dogs.

Right, you wanna help the dogs.

Yeah. I love dogs.

Aren't you in a battle of
the wits with one right now?

You know what? Turns out
Little Simon's pretty awesome.

We've come to
a meeting of the minds.

Oh, good.
A meeting of the minds.

So, I guess that
means you don't need

Alex as a dog trainer anymore.

I wouldn't say that.

Oh? I mean,
you don't need her help

to impress Chloe anymore, right?

I mean, she seems pretty
into you ever since you tamed

her little ball of furry fury.

Yeah, things have
been pretty cool.

Yeah. Mm.

So, is she going to the event?

I don't know.
Seems like a pretty good

opportunity for a date.

You know, get all dressed up,
have a nice evening out.

Someone you care about.

That might be
a clothing designer,

but might be a dog trainer.

Or a vet?

Please don't tell me
you're dating a vet.

No, no.

Alex might be, but, uh,
she said she's not dating

so I... I don't know.

You know what I think?

I think you need
a good night's sleep, man.

You're probably right.

Thanks for your help today.

Yeah, of course.

Get some sleep.

Alright.

Sarah: I never thought I'd see
the day where you were cooking

for someone other
than you and Radar.

I don't know what
sparked the change,

but I like it.

Well, dinner is served.

So, Radar seems like
she's back to her normal self.

Yeah, thanks to Jacob.

Pulled an all-nighter,
ran some tests,

pulled some favors.

He did all of that for you.

What is that supposed to mean?

Come on, Alex, I know
you're not looking for love,

but I didn't think
you were that blind.

He likes you.

No, he does not.

I'm sure that
he wanted to help Radar,

but staying late,
dropping her off after that.

He did all of that for you.

And that's a good thing.

Simon helped me, too.
He drove us to the vet,

he stayed the whole time.

So, not just
one man who's dependable,

but two went out of
their way to help you.

Okay, make your point.

Thank you. I will.

Not every man is
going to be like Dad.

Not every man is
going to disappoint you.

There's some guys out there
who want to make you happy.

Yeah, well,
it's not that simple.

You're right, life is not as
simple as deciding that dogs

are the only ones
who make good life partners.

Both: Mm-hm.

So, now you have two great guys
who want to be there for you.

Yeah, well, Simon and I
are good friends,

but Chloe's the one he likes.

I mean, he hired a dog trainer
to train her dog

just so he could date her.

Mm. How's that going?

Training's going well.

No, I meant with
Simon and Chloe,

because it seems
like he wants to spend

a whole lot more time with you.

He's panning this
whole fundraiser for you.

We're planning that together.

Well, I don't doubt that
Simon's come around on dogs,

and he's come around on you,

or maybe that's true
for the both of you.

Okay, now you're just
coming up with crazy theories.

I'm not,
I just think that I can see

a little bit more clearly
than you can on this.

So? What do you think?

It seems a little fancy.

Well, yeah.
It's meant to be fancy.

I know, I just don't want us
to lose sight of the cause.

I agree, and I think
we can do that with decor.

We could have a bunch of photos
of the dogs that need homes,

and that way we can
bring that all here,

and we don't actually have
to host it at the shelter.

Don't you think people
would benefit from seeing

the space that
we're trying to save?

Do you really want to
cram all the guests who paid

a lot of money for their
tickets in an animal shelter?

Well, then they'd see why
we need the funding so badly.

I think it would be better
not to have people eating

their hors d'oeuvres
crammed between dog crates.

Okay. So, tell me.
What do the people want then?

Well, they want to
have a good time.

They want to get dressed up,
they want to eat, drink.

Dance?

You gotta give
the people what they want.

So is... is Chloe going?

Yeah, I think so.

Yeah, she said she's
going to donate some prizes

and bring fashionable friends.

That's really nice of her.

Yeah.

Is, uh, Jacob coming as well?

Uh, yeah. Well, he's a sponsor,
a donor, and a volunteer.

Guy's a triple threat.

No, I meant,
is he going as your date or?

Maybe, yeah.

I'm sure he would say yes.

If you asked him.

He did stay up all night
to take care of your dog, so.

Yeah, why would someone
do something nice for me

without wanting something, right?

No, that's...
That's not what I meant at all.

People can do
something nice for you

without expecting
something in return.

Can they?

Yes.

Isn't it like that with Radar?

What do you mean?

Well, you talk about
partnerships with dogs

all the time.

They love you for you,
you can be yourself.

You can count on them.

Can't people offer
the same thing?

I don't know, Simon.

Why don't you ask my dad
why he couldn't when he left?

Alex, I'm sorry. I...

That must be really hard.

It's fine.

No, it's not fine.

And I think it's a real shame
that you're missing out on love

now because your dad couldn't be
who you needed him to be then.

I don't even know why
we're talking about this.

I'm just
your girlfriend's dog trainer.

Alex, I don't need
a dog trainer.

Good, then I guess
we're done here.

No, no! Th-that's not
what I meant at all.

No, you know what?
I think you're right.

Why would we continue
on with these lessons?

Let's just focus
on the fundraiser,

and we'll go
our separate ways, okay?

I'm going to grab
something to eat.

Clear my head a little bit.
You want something?

No, I'm good.

Hey.

You okay?

Yeah.

Just hungry.

No, no, no, no. I thought you
upgraded to real human food.

What's with the backslide?

Nothing. I've just been
really busy with event prep.

Okay, but you don't really
seem like yourself lately.

Did something else happen?

Nope. Nope.
Um, just super focused.

Jen is counting
on this fundraiser

and we are running out of time.

That's all?

Isn't that enough?

He said he doesn't
need a trainer anymore.

That's all this was.

And I just thought...

I don't know what I thought.

People leave when
they get what they want.

Alex, he didn't leave.

You didn't give him
a chance to stay.

It's time that
you start opening up

to Simon, or Jacob if you want,

but most definitely to yourself.

Besides, you know what they say.

When one door closes,
another one opens.

See? Door's already opening.

- Oh!
- Jacob: Sorry!

I was right there
in front of you.

You sure were.

Oh, yeah.

Special delivery, Jen.

Here are the extra tickets.

Thank you.

Hey. So, did the owner say
yes to giving us more time to

raise money when he found out
about the fundraiser?

Unfortunately no.

Yeah, he's got other
prospects lined up.

It feels like giving us
first opportunity to purchase

is charity enough.

So, we'll just raise
whatever else we need

at the event, right?

- Mm-hm.
- Right.

Yeah, Alex and Simon have done

such a phenomenal job
with the event.

I am sure that
we will reach our goal.

I hope so.

Oh, you just
missed him actually.

Oh. That's too bad.

Yeah. Simon was here with
a professional photographer

to take photos of
our dogs and volunteers.

His work has brought
so many people in.

That's great! Right, Alex?
That's... Isn't it?

Mm-hm.

Imagine.

Our little shelter at the center
of such an exclusive event.

Did I ever hear that you're
gonna be attending with Jacob?

Oh, um. Well, maybe.

Who could say no
to a handsome vet?

Right?
I mean, you can't, really.

Unless of course you were,

I don't know,
in love with somebody else.

Right, exactly.
Which is why I have no reason

not to go with Jacob.

Wow. Alex, you look incredible.

Can't remember the last time
I've seen you without being

covered in a layer of dog fur.

Well, I have to get
used to dressing up

now that I have
a wedding to attend.

That's right.

Oh!

Oh, congratulations, you two.

You both deserve
every ounce of happiness,

but be warned,
you have now signed up for

a lifetime of her cooking.

Hey, that's my future wife
you're talking about.

Alright, I'll be right back.
My future wife needs a corsage.

Oh, aren't you just
a high school romantic?

Everything just falling into
place for you two crazy kids.

I'm so happy for you.

Thanks, sis,
but things didn't exactly

just fall into place for us.

What do you mean?

Well, you're not
the only one who finds it

hard to be vulnerable.

Really? You guys make
everything look so easy.

Dad made it really
difficult for me, too.

I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to assume that his
walking out was easier on you.

You know, I just thought...
I mean, I hoped,

because you were
so little when he left,

you just accepted
our life as it was

and relationships
wouldn't be so hard.

Things like that
always leave a mark.

And I'm saying this
to make you feel bad,

it's just that I want you
to know that I finally

found someone I can rely on.

Happy and engaged.

I know you think that
by pretending not to care

you have some sort of control,

but the truth is you're
just letting Dad's mistake

make the most important
life decision for you.

Wow.

You look beautiful.

I mean, you always look great,
but you look particularly great

in this moment right now.

I'm going to stop
talking right now.

Well, you look beautiful, too.

I mean, you scrub up
nice out of your... scrubs.

Thanks.

Okay, beautiful people.

Don't mean to cut this short,
but we've got some dogs to save.

Wow, Alex. This is going
to be a huge success.

I hope so.
I mean, it needs to be.

We don't really have a plan B.

Alex and Sarah!

The calm before the storm.

How are we ever going to thank
Simon for talking them into

letting us host our soiree here?

I think Alex could
think of a thing or two.

Now we just need
to make sure that

everyone's feeling
generous tonight.

I know.
I'm so nervous I could howl.

But it's like
you always say, Alex.

We should just be
more like them, you know?

Let go of our fears
and live in the moment.

I would definitely
say that to my clients.

So, you should listen
to your own advice.

Why don't I get you some punch?

I'll join you.

I'm just going to go
say hi to my friend Fernand.

I love that he came.

Can you check this for me?

Oh, yeah. Sure.

Well, the place looks great,
and, uh, I know we're going

to have a decent turn-out.

Yeah.

You look, uh...

Yeah. So do you.

The space looks amazing.

Jen really appreciates
everything you've done.

Jen?

Yeah, she was just telling me
how much it means to her.

Right, well,
I'm really glad Jen's happy.

Chloe is, too,
by the looks of it.

Alex, I...

You don't want to
keep her waiting,

and I have to
check in on catering.

Thanks again for everything.

You're welcome.

Simon!

Ziggy is pretty amazing.

He conquered his trust issues

and he's just the most
affectionate dog.

I know him.

I also know you.

Or, I guess, know of you.

Um, I'm Sarah Price.

Alex's sister.

- Oh.
- This is my fiancé, Jeremy.

Hi.

Nice to meet you.

Jeremy, this is Simon.

Simon hired my sister
to train a dog for

this woman that
he wanted to date,

and in a twist of events he
unexpectedly got close with her.

Then he planned this
whole fundraiser for her.

I mean, and the dogs, of course.

Of course.

Did I miss anything?

A little nuance, maybe.

Mm-hm. I'll save the nuances
for the advertising execs.

I'm just a yoga instructor.

It's funny. I always tell
my students to set an intention

before every class.

Uh-huh?

So, that makes me
an expert on intentions.

What's your at this point?

You seem like a tough teacher.

I'm a tough sister, too.

I just want
what's best for Alex.

I'm just catching up here.

Alex is here with
someone tonight, right?

Yeah, she is.

So am I.

The clients loved
the photo shoot.

Wow. So he must have
really made an impression.

You not only helped me
plan the event,

but you're manning the silent
auction with me, too?

You did melt my heart.

But before you give me
too much credit, though,

I've noticed hanging
with dogs does seem to

help one's dating life.

Oh, you won't want to miss
a weekend getaway for two.

Do you have somebody special?

Easy, boy. We actually need
these people to make bids.

Please don't hump the legs
of our potential patrons.

Oh, you're funny, too.

It must be something else
he likes about you.

Who?

Oh, please.

I mean, you're funny,
but you're also smart enough

to notice that something's
going on between you two.

Yeah, that something is two
friends helping each other out.

Well, tonight's not
about him or me or anyone.

It's about the dogs
and giving them the safety

and security they deserve.

Now, let's focus
our efforts on that.

Ooh, I have got to put in a bid
on the trip before time is up.

You should.
That's a super romantic package.

Well, I'd actually
take my mom if I won.

She's obsessed
with wine country.

If that's okay with you, babe.

Yeah, great.

Actually, I don't
think we've met. I'm Alex.

O-M-G. Alex. The Alex.

You are a literal queen.

You have done
so much for my Simon.

Uh, which Simon is that again?

Right? He thinks it's terrible

that he shares
a name with my dog.

Alex:
I think it's cute actually.

Besides,
you could have named your dog

something like Chardonnay.

Or Merlot.

Ooh, that's a red flag.

Everyone, the auction
is closing soon!

"The auction is closing soon?"

Oh, I can't bear to look.

Alex, Simon.
I would really appreciate it

if you could be
with me when we find out

whether or not we made our goal.

Yeah.

Alex: Excuse me, everyone.

Could I have
your attention please?

First, I'd like to thank
each of you for your generosity.

I have had the privilege of
working with amazing dogs,

including the ones you see
here today, for many years.

And tonight, you've had
the power to change their lives

and give them a brighter future.

It has taken a lot of teamwork

and people jumping in
to make this happen,

and, for that, I'm grateful.

So, without further ado,

let's see if we've
raised enough money to buy

the place these pups call home.

Jen: We did it!

We reached our goal
and we can buy the shelter.

Alex and Simon. Ooh, I would
trust the two of you to team up

and tackle anything together.

Outside tonight

In this restless city

Oh!

Night bird is singing

♪ A mournful tune

Alone, he's cooing
so soft and pretty

Chloe, there's something
I want to talk to you about.

Uh, about the fact that you're
falling for your dog trainer?

I...

Please, the way you two
were laughing at those

dumb jokes earlier, I'm sorry,
but they were not funny,

and that hug?

You two are only
kidding yourselves.

Young lovers dancing

They sway and swoon

He moves in close
and she's right there with him

Chloe, I'm sorry.

I wanted things to work out
between us for so long.

I thought it was a good fit,
you know?

We had so much in common.

True, we both leaned into
our careers and love what?

Good style?

I'm not naive enough to
think that's all it takes.

Are you?

Not anymore, I guess.

Look, I'm so grateful for all

your help with little Simon,

but you were spending
so much time dog training,

I was starting to think
you had a crush on him.

Chloe, nothing ever
happened between Alex and I.

Well, maybe something should.

Listen, I care about you.

Enough to notice that I've never
made you laugh like that.

I care about you, too.

I know, but you don't love me,

and that's what I deserve.

Underneath the misty moon

We have to stop running
into each other like this.

Maybe we have to
stop running altogether.

When we first met,
I thought you were

just going to
help me teach a dog.

But it turns out I needed
more help than the dog did.

Simon...

I was so focused on
what I thought I was

supposed to want that
I didn't see what I did want.

Alex, you've taught me
so much about myself.

How to be brave.

So, I'm going to ask you...

Hey. I got the key from
the valet if you're ready to go.

Nice to see you again, Simon.
Great job.

Yeah, great job tonight, Simon.

Was there anything else
that you wanted to say?

About what you want?

I really want you to enjoy
the rest of your evening.

Okay.

Have a great night.

If it isn't one dog with you,
it's another.

Thought you were doing home.

Well, when you texted me
saying that you were getting

a midnight hotdog instead of
having one of your admirers

drive you home,
I thought I'd check on you.

He told me I helped him
to be brave, Sarah.

Even though he was probably
leaving with Chloe to go to

some annoyingly cool speakeasy.

And then I told Jacob that
I'd rather walk home alone

when he offered to drive me.

Wasn't fair of me to
ask him to be my date.

He's a handsome vet, Alex.

He's gonna be fine without you.

I think everyone
would be fine without me.

Stop.

You are the trainer that
can stare a Rottweiler down.

You taught some
lovesick sheepdog of a man

how to be brave.

Why can't you teach yourself?

Why? He's with Chloe.

I watched Simon and Chloe
break things off two hours ago.

Simon is clearly
crazy about you.

And now he's unattached.

So, what are you going
to do about it, sis?

Thank you for meeting me here.

Of course.

I wasn't sure if I would hear
from you again after last night.

I went to get a hotdog.

Is that why you called me?

To tell me you're back
to eating sad people food?

And I had some sense talked
into me by my sister, again.

Yeah, well, she does
call 'em like she sees 'em.

She sure does.

Last night you said that

I taught you how to be brave.

You did, and I want to
emphasis the word "taught,"

as in I've already
learned the lesson,

don't need to learn it again
on this...

windy cliff side death trap.

Don't worry.

This lesson isn't for you.

It's for me.

But a cliff isn't
what I'm afraid of.

Oh.

Yeah, this doesn't actually
scare me at all.

Got it, just me then.

- Yeah.
- Cool.

But...

what does scare me is
telling someone that I care.

And telling that person
that I'm in love with them

when they could just
walk away whenever they want.

Who'd be stupid enough
to walk away from you?

I'm not always easy.

You're never easy.

I'm structured,

and I have a hard
time asking for help.

Don't forget you
also like space food.

You're also smart.

Caring.

The most beautiful
person I ever met.

But you're not good
at taking compliments.

Well, you might be a little too
concerned with what people eat.

I guess.

But you're thoughtful and funny

and reliable.

And I'm in love with you.

Radar, come.

Good girl. Sit.

Good girl.

Come on.

We brought treats for
our two favorite girls.

Thank you.

There you go, Radar.

Oh, and one for my new roommate.

And partner.

Second only to you.

Good boy, Simon.

Don't recall another time

I took a hit and felt so fine

Lost control of heart and mind

Rock and rolling,
there's no stopping

Told myself to take it slow

Wait and see where this would go

Check me now, what do you know?

I'm head first, all in,
no chute, no wings

Not a gentle thing

There's bound to be some pain

But I keep coming back
again and again

'Cause heart could break

And still you won't slow down
'til you hit that high

Ain't it more like
crashing in love?

Crashing in love

Crashing in love
Crashing in love
