- How do I feel?

I feel

embarrassed,

exposed.

I put myself out there for him tonight.

You come on a show like this thinking

you're gonna find you happily ever after,

but instead it's just your own personal hell.

Will that work?

Because I can do that again.

Do you need more tears, heartbreak?

Whatever you need.

Hello?

Hello?

And back to one.

- Hello?

Hello?

Is anybody there?

Guess I'm wrapped.

- Oh my God! - What did you do?

- What did you do? - Was I not supposed

to do that?

Oh no. Sorry.

No, no, no, no, I'm gonna save it,

I'm gonna save it. Look.

- I could do some real work on your guy.

- Yeah? - I think I should

get one of these wigs.

- Am I next?

Oh my God.

- You know, I don't think it takes a hair stylist

to see that Bret has a lot of layers,

and I'm really excited to discover what's underneath.

He's so cute.

Seeing the way that he cut that hair,

I could really see myself falling in love with him.

And a man that knows his way around a pair

of scissors usually knows his way

around a few of his things too.

- Did we get you?

Absolutely not.

- I think we need an impartial third party to make a ruling.

Leylah?

We got you bad, Mom.

- Well, I think this impartial third party

needs to go to bed.

- Hey, don't blame me.

It was her idea.

- Tell Tito Gabe thank you and go brush your teeth.

Huggies.

Okay, bye.

- Bye.

Thanks again for watching her.

- Yeah, no worries.

I'm guessing the date didn't happen.

- Men magically disappear

when they learned that I'm a mother.

Again?

I'm sorry, Jess.

- Oh my gosh. - You could use

a little bit of- - Oh, yeah.

This show's still a thing?

- It's just background noise.

You know I don't really watch that trash.

- You know, you don't have to do that.

I saw your room growing up,

you've always lived in filth.

No one needs to know that.

Are you or someone you know looking for love?

Open casting has begun

for the historic 25th season of "Love at Last."

Send us a photo and application today

to join us on Oxley Island,

and begin your next journey for love.

- You got any other dates lined up soon?

No, why?

You know someone?

- Maybe.

- That goes there.

Patrick?

What's the word on security?

Network is all up in my about leaks.

If this season's gonna be the most dramatic one yet,

needs to be on TV, don't you think,

and not on some jackasses blog?

- Yeah, I gotta call the guys.

They will have a security team

there two days before the crew.

- Make sure that happens.

- Oh, with the oat milk,

did you pour in or stir it in?

- I just-

- Just fucking with you, relax.

- Nicki, you said you had some ideas for some day one drama?

- Oh, yeah.

So we're gonna tell the girls

that there aren't enough rooms,

so they're gonna have to share.

I've already arranged to put the drama queens together.

- Love it.

Oh, one other thing.

I got a call this morning that Nicole F.,

she booked a recurring on a network soap,

so she's out for the season.

We got a spot to fill.

Any ideas?

- On no.

Doesn't need to be pretty, we just need a body.

- Okay.

Here's one from the slush pile.

Jess Rose, age 31.

Single mom, divorced.

Filipino American.

Would be great for the diversity push.

- That's an easy intro package.

I could put that together this weekend.

- Fine.

But this is network TV,

so keep the film school shit to yourself.

Call the suits at the network,

have them push this through.

They owe me one.

Can I?

Her brother submitted her.

Does she even wanna be here?

- Who cares?

I'm gonna kill you.

You're gonna thank me.

- Look, I'm not going.

I never asked you to sign me up.

Reality shows are for crazy people.

- You watch them all the time.

- Yeah, from judging them from the safety of my couch.

- Most people would kill to be in your position.

What are you scared of?

- Public humiliation, being apart from Leylah,

becoming a meme.

I don't know, heartbreak.

- Doesn't it pay like a thousand bucks a day?

Worry about your heartbreak later.

Your daughter is not a cheap date.

- Aw, shit.

- Where did she learn that word from?

- I don't know.

- Here have mine.

- I just want Leylah to have everything she needs.

- What's that supposed to mean?

Mom?

Yes, anaku?

- Can Tito Gabe come over tomorrow?

- Not tomorrow, but soon.

- Why not?

- I think you like Tito Gabe

'cause he keeps giving you sugar.

- He gives me piggy back rides like Dad did.

- You miss your dad?

Goodnight, anaku.

Hey, Gabe.

Do you mind babysitting for a bit?

- Hi, girls.

Hi.

- Welcome to the "Love at Last" Mansion.

We are so glad to have you here

competing in this historic season.

I'm Nicki, one of the field producers.

- And I'm Patrick.

We're very excited to get this production started,

but first, some ground rules.

- Don't fuck the help.

- Yes, your contracts do include

a no fraternization clause.

You're here for your Beau and no one else.

Also, and perhaps more importantly,

when there are no cameras around, you are on ice.

Save all the juicy drama for the fans out there.

- In that spirit, a PA's gonna be coming around

and collecting all your phones.

- Instead, production has provided you

with these show approved devices.

- So, feel free to take as many selfies,

photos, videos, whatever you want.

And our numbers are programmed in,

so you can send everything our way.

You'll also have access

to the "Love at Last" social media app,

so our publicity team

can start generating a buzz for this season.

- Will we be able to call our families?

- Like who, your parents?

- No,

my daughter.

- No.

- No. - No, that's not allowed.

- You sure you don't need any help?

- No, not at all.

Thank you, though.

I'm Jess, by the way.

I know, I'm Maya.

- So what do you do here, Maya?

- I'm a production assistant.

Just kinda run around, do whatever the show needs.

- That's so cool.

I mean, what a fun world to work in.

So what do you wanna do, like long term?

- Excuse me?

- Like producer, writer, director?

- Sorry, just no one's ever asked me that before.

- Seriously?

- This is you.

Last door at the end of the hall.

- Thank you so much, Maya.

- I um,

I wanna be a director.

- I'll put in a good word for you.

What are you doing here?

Oh, they told me this was my room.

- This is my room.

Someone royally fucked up.

My contract clearly stated

that I have to have a garden view.

- Well, there are two beds,

so maybe we're roommates?

Uh , definitely not for long.

Oh, and keep to your side of the room.

I don't want my clothes to smell.

- What is it?

- I'm so sorry, can you help me with this?

- Yes.

Come on in.

You're a lifesaver.

I couldn't find anyone to help.

The girls here are scary.

- Tell me about it.

I think my roommate already hates me.

- Oh, I'm sure that's not true.

I'm Chloe.

- Jess.

It's nice to meet you.

- You know, my room's a little lonely.

Do you wanna get ready together?

Yes, of course.

You know, you're actually the first person

on this entire island that-

- I'm sorry, I'm still getting used to that.

- Same here.

- Okay, let's go. - Oh, let me grab my dress.

What are we doing, Mike?

- All right, we're on 10.

- Tape rolling?

- Yeah, we're already speeding, right?

Can you pull it up, Mike?

Thanks. - Oh, hello lambs.

Welcome to the slaughter.

- Hey guys, wanna let you know that I'm here.

- Hi, Lance. - Hey, Lance.

- Also, break a leg this season.

I know, it's a big one.

- Thanks so much, Lance. - Yeah, will do, Lance.

- I had some ideas about how to make

this season really dramatic.

There was this production

of "Cyrano de Bergerac"

on the West End that- - Just can't.

- Yes. - Just in-

- Hey, Lance? - Yeah?

- Why don't we get you to hair and makeup, okay?

All right.

Well, think about it. - Yeah.

- There's magic when you allow everyone to spontaneously-

- Hey, Patrick, - Yeah,

- what's your 20? - wardrobe's ready for you.

- Mike, I think this needs a battery.

- Hey, everybody.

We ready in five?

- Oh my gosh.

It just hit me, we're finally gonna meet the Beau.

Am I blushing?

- I think it's just a little sunburn.

- Oh, no, seriously?

- Here, you can keep this.

- Holy crap, will you be my mom?

- Oh, you know, I don't get it.

Why do they keep the Beau a secret?

I mean, what if we don't like him?

Do we just pretend?

- What do you mean? He's the Beau.

We're here to win.

- And we're picked according to his preferences,

so we know we're his type, mm hm.

- But that's what I'm saying.

What if the feeling's just not mutual?

- You're funny.

Okay.

- All right, I'm ready to meet our dashing prince.

Package ready?

- Yeah, I got it from Post last night.

I think you're gonna like it.

- Great.

You wanna go ahead and put it on the monitor?

Yeah, Mike.

There you go.

- My name is Garret Dalton.

I'm 31 years old,

and I'm looking to find "Love at Last."

Life is complex,

like a puzzle,

and I'm just looking for someone

to help me put the pieces together.

But that doesn't mean we can't have some fun.

I dance like a dork.

I love superhero movies,

and I am obsessed with "The Office."

I like giving back.

My nonprofit, Kids and Crypto,

teaches underprivileged youth how to mine their own Bitcoin.

I'm looking for the one

who is gonna stand by me for the rest of my life,

who's gonna cherish my heart,

and who's gonna love me

for who I am.

Apple Box. - Sorry.

- What the fuck? - Sorry, so sorry.

- Oo, yeow.

Yeow.

- Don't let it happen again. - Yeow.

- America loves this shit.

- It paid for a half a boat.

Yeah.

No, I feel you.

- Yeow.

So Garret, how you feelin'?

- Are we rolling?

- No, just checkin' in.

- Oh, please stop talkin' to me.

- Gotcha.

Yeow.

It's off again.

- Thus, thus, thus, thus.

- It keeps fallin' off. - Thus, thus, thus, thus.

About to roll, let's lock it up people.

- Thus, thus, thus, thus.

Ready in three,

two.

- Welcome back lovers to our 25th season of "Love at Last,"

here on beautiful Oxley Island.

I'm your host, Lance Mulvey,

and I'm standing here with this season's Beau,

Garret Dalton.

So Garret, how are you feeling?

- I gotta be honest with ya, Lance, I'm nervous.

I mean, my future wife is out there tonight.

I just hope I don't embarrass myself.

- Ah, impossible, Garret!

You'll be fine.

All you gotta do is put on a smile and stand tall.

- He deserved it.

Lance, we're good to go.

Bring on the contestants.

- So you ready to meet the ladies?

- I am.

- I look terrible.

How do I look? Do I look trashy?

- No, you look beautiful.

He's gonna love you.

- Thank you.

You look great, too.

- Madison Butler, you're first.

- Oh my Lord.

Wow.

- They're all yours.

- Wow!

We can call it off.

I think I found her.

- Hi. - We're done.

- I knew you were cute,

but I didn't know you were funny.

Do I know you from somewhere?

- Maybe your dreams.

- Okay.

Nice job with that one, Bill.

- Looks like we found this season's villain.

- Yeah, girls are gonna see right through what she's doing.

- But he won't.

Didn't know you had it in you.

There's hope for you yet.

- I'm Katie. - Oh, hi.

Hi.

- I am so excited to get to know you and your story.

- It's too good.

- Hey, cut, cut to the wide.

America needs to see this.

- I'll see you inside. - Okay.

- Okay.

Get her out of here or I walk.

- Yeah, fine with me.

We had fun, we had our fun.

- All right, I'll take the giraffe to holding.

- God.

- Jess Rose,

you're up.

- You're gonna kill it.

- Hi.

Jess.

Hi.

- You okay?

- Yeah, totally.

I just can't believe this is all happening.

- Don't worry.

You look beautiful.

I can't wait to get to know you,

and hear more about your daughter.

- How did you know?

- I know looking for love again can be scary,

but I want you to know I totally respect your journey here,

and I think you are so brave.

- That is so sweet.

Thank you.

- You look beautiful.

- Chloe. Yeah. - Chloe, good to meet you.

Beautiful.

Oh, we have a dancer.

I'll see you inside.

- Thank you for-

- Camera's aren't even here.

Curtsy?

For me?

I love the dress.

Good to meet you, I'm Garret.

- Are we having fun tonight, ladies?

The first cocktail party of the season is upon us.

This is your chance to get some time with your Beau,

so be intentional because not everyone

will make it through this night.

- Here is to a new and exciting season.

I can't wait to get to know you all, inside and out.

Cheers.

Ladies,

I had such an incredible time getting to know you all.

Thank you for sharing your hearts with me.

That said, I didn't get a chance

to talk with everyone tonight,

and that's not okay.

So for now,

no one's going home.

And I look forward to one more week

getting to know all of you here on "Love at Last."

- All right, that's a wrap on the day, everybody.

Thank you.

Can you believe it?

Also, can you see my pit stains?

I was literally dying up there.

- No , you're fine. - Hey, don't worry,

we're gonna get our time, okay?

- Okay. - Come find me.

- Hey.

Sure.

Hey, Jess?

Thanks for kicking me out of our room, bitch.

- What?

What the hell

is wrong with you? - Please tell me you got that.

- I don't have another card.

- You don't have another card?

- No, I don't, I'm sorry. - Are you shitting me?

Get one off the truck.

- All right, all right, all right, I'm going.

Damn it!

- Careful, ladies.

Hot points.

Let go of me.

Where are you taking me?

We're gonna talk.

- What the hell do you think you're doing?

Let go of me.

- I don't know what drama is going on in your head,

but leave me out of it.

- Girl, I'm doing you a favor.

More drama means more screen time.

More screen time means more fans,

more followers, more money.

- Well, start that with someone else.

- Look, I'm not here to embarrass myself

in front of the entire country.

- My daughter is watching.

- It's too late for that.

They're gonna tell whatever story they want with us.

Tell me, have you turned you back to the camera yet?

You're fucked.

They can have you saying anything they want you to.

Might as well own it.

- I better get this back to Maya.

- Why? Let the help take care of it.

No one here needs you to be their mom.

This isn't over!

Angelo, it's your favorite client.

Things are going well.

My roommate is this pathetic single mom.

It's like, have you seen the show?

Anyone with kids gets cut by week two.

Anyways, just thought I'd leave a message.

Let's get lunch.

Maybe I'll take you out to Nobu.

I feel like sashimi-

- Hey, have you seen Hannah?

She never came back to our room last night.

Maybe she got her own room like she wanted.

Lucky you.

- We kinda got into it.

I hope I wasn't too harsh on her.

- Oh, whatever.

You know she lives for the drama.

- Good morning, ladies.

Good morning.

- Ladies, I have some sad news.

Hannah has decided to leave the island for good.

We found this note outside of our office door.

And Hannah let us know that she had a family emergency

and left first thing this morning.

Now, don't let this get you down.

We have a big day planned.

It's our first group date.

Are you ladies excited?

Woo!

- Can you believe this?

- It's so bizarre.

I mean, she seemed to love the attention she was getting.

Why would she leave?

- Are you kidding?

It's less competition.

This is great.

- I hope Garret's not upset.

He seemed to like her.

- What just happened?

We have a contestant dramatically leaving on night one.

We don't have any footage?

- How did she even get off the compound?

It's like...

It's six miles to the marina.

- I mean, we got a supply run twice a day.

She could have easily hopped on the truck this morning.

The next run is this afternoon.

I can go check with the teamsters.

- Nobody talks to anybody about anything

until we get to the bottom of this.

We control the narrative understood?

Keep an eye on social media.

Nicki, are we all ready for group date?

- Yeah, it's gonna be a shit show.

- That's what I wanna hear.

Keep your eyes open, and your mouths shut.

- This looks exactly like the obstacle course

from "Paradise At Last" two seasons ago.

The key is keep moving,

don't get bogged down by slower teammates.

- Garret's a terrible athlete.

He's not gonna care who wins some stupid race.

- Yeah, but how do you know?

- Do you know that Garret's family

goes to the Met Gala every year?

Isn't that a dream?

- He told you that?

- Yeah, last night.

Wait, what did you two talk about?

- Oh, we didn't talk.

- Neither did we.

- Hi, girls.

Today's a really important day for me.

Love is not something that you can take for granted.

Love is something that you must pursue.

I'm looking for a girl who will pursue me

no matter what obstacle stands in her way.

- That's right, ladies.

Your task today is to hit a home run with Garret.

You will have to balance your way to first,

hop to second, crawl to third,

and slide into home to Garret's heart.

The first one across home plate

gets a one-on-one date with Garret,

and wins their team an extra group date tomorrow.

- Show me what you got today.

I wanna see your guts.

And cut.

All right, thanks guys.

And Maya's got you set up

with a front row seat to the carnage.

- Okay.

- So, I hear you're from New York.

- Yep.

- Lived there a few years

back in the 80s with my theater troupe.

Way different back then.

Did some pretty cool, pretty experimental stuff.

- Hm, that's super interesting, Lance.

Okay.

How long is this gonna take?

Do I have to actually be here to watch this?

- You don't care who wins the race?

- Did you meet your wife

'cause she was good at jumping over things?

Who gives a shit?

One, two, three, go!

One, two, three, go!

- Oh, goodness!

- Go, go!

- Whoa!

Did you see that, Garret?

Garret?

- Oh, this is awful!

Jess, how are you doing this?

- I was in labor for 31 hours.

This is nothing.

Ew, ew, ew, ew, ew!

- Garret!

Yes, yes, yes, yes!

You and me, baby!

- Okay, that's a cut.

Wrap on the group date.

Great job, everybody.

Garret and Abigail, we'll see you in the lobby in an hour.

Everybody else,

you're on ice until tonight's Breakup Session, okay?

- See you later. - Thank you.

Maya, get me some coffee.

Red Team, Red Team, Red Team!

- Nice job, ladies.

Better luck next time. - Red Team!

- Hey Jess, can we grab a quick OTF?

- Look, I don't-

- It just stands for on the fly.

We wanna get your thoughts, okay?

Are we rolling?

- Rolling. - Awesome.

All right, so tell us how you're feelin'.

- I...

Yeah...

I'm sorry.

You know, can we just cut?

- Let's cut.

What's wrong?

- You know this was a mistake.

I don't even know what I'm doing here.

- Wait, Jess, you can't just leave.

- Look, Hannah left.

- Well, that was a mistake.

- What I mean is you can't just give up now.

I mean, I know things might seem pointless,

especially after a day like today,

but I really do believe in this show,

I've seen it change people's lives.

- And also, once this episode airs,

we'll be three episodes in

and America will be rooting for you.

- No, it's true.

Representation matters.

Who you are, where you came from, your daughter.

It's all gonna play.

You just gotta hang tight.

Trust the process.

- What process?

You know, I've been running around trying

to keep my head above water.

I've hardly even talked with Garret.

- Well, Garret really likes you.

- Yeah. - I mean,

he wouldn't have picked you to be here if he didn't.

- I'll tell you what, we have a Breakup Session tonight.

And if you're right, Garret cuts you,

there's no harm, right?

You get to go home, be with your daughter.

But if he votes to keep you on the island-

- That means something.

And plus it's another week for appearance fees

and I know that those go a long way.

- Yeah.

Okay?

So, just trust the process.

- Okay.

- Okay?

Okay. - Okay, great.

- Awesome. - All right.

- Can we roll on the OTF?

- Yeah.

- Great, all right. - Roll.

- And,

go ahead, Jess.

Tell us how you feel.

- How am I feeling?

I'm definitely frustrated

I didn't win the obstacle course today, but you know what?

There's always tomorrow.

I'm gonna push through,

get my time with Garret and show him why I'm worth it.

- It was magical.

We rode horses on the beach.

I told him all about my childhood trauma, my family,

and I said that I could really

see myself falling in love with him.

Aw!

Jess, can you come with me for a second?

- Sure.

- Hey.

- Hi.

- So, I just spoke with Patrick

and Nicki and they told me you weren't feeling

so into this whole process.

- No, I do.

I am.

I'm just- - I totally understand.

- You do?

- Between you and me,

I also think this whole thing is bullshit.

- Really?

Of course.

After 25 seasons, how many Beaus are actually still married?

One?

Come on.

We all know why we're here.

Oh, don't worry, you're safe.

- Look, it's not you.

It's just there are so many girls and all these rules

and hoops to jump through,

and no one is themselves on camera.

- Trust me, I totally understand.

You don't know the half of it.

- You would not believe how refreshing that is to hear.

I mean, I was going crazy.

- Well, you are not.

Let's see this for what it is.

It's a paid vacation.

We'll have some fun.

We'll eat the free food.

We'll laugh at all the idiots

who actually buy into this shit.

What do you say?

- Okay.

Yeah?

- Okay.

This is hard, ladies.

I wish I could keep you both here, but I have to choose one.

Abigail, I had such a good time on our date tonight.

Hearing about your love for the show

and seeing your competitive drive, truly inspiring.

But I'm looking for the one,

and right now I just, I don't think that's you.

So, Jess, may I have this dance?

- Yeah, of course.

- And cut.

That's a wrap on Abigail, everybody.

- Ice it, Abigail.

Brutal, Dalton.

- Like I had a choice.

Where do these girls go once they're cutting anyways?

- We take them to a holding wing.

Keep them sequestered from the rest of production.

Jesus, sounds miserable.

- Just until we wrap.

Keep them around in case we need any more interviews

or to make sure nothing leaks.

Don't worry, you won't be seeing these girls over again.

Hey, Gar, can I talk to you for a second?

- Yeah, anything for the boss.

- I am so sorry.

I don't know what to say.

- Go away.

I said leave me alone!

- I'd kill for a spa date.

- I'd kill for a date period.

- Hey, have you used yours yet?

Mine's been pretty useless.

- Oh, I've just been taking photos to show Leylah.

Oh, there we are.

- What do you mean?

- All the phones have location tracking on.

It's kind of fun, huh?

- That's disturbing.

- Oh, hey Jess.

We're just doing a quick check in

while Garret's on his group date.

Can you ask Chloe how she's feeling about Garret?

- Sure.

So Chloe, how are you feeling about Garret these days?

I know it sounds crazy,

but I could really see myself falling in love with him.

Wow.

I know.

- Well, that's great, Chloe. - Perfect, yeah.

- I'm so happy for you.

- Thanks, girl.

How 'bout you?

- And hold for camera.

Okay.

And...

Go ahead, Jess.

- To be honest, I don't know.

I mean, we keep having these moments

where I think there's a little chemistry,

but I don't know what's real

and what's manufactured at this point.

And I've never been away

from my daughter for this long before.

I think that's been on my mind almost more than Garret.

You know what?

I'd like to call my daughter, please.

- Well, you would need permission from Bill to do that,

so we'll just keep rolling.

- Well, where's Bill?

- He's busy at the moment,

but I can pass a message along if you like?

On two.

- Hey. - Hey, what's up?

Where were you?

- Have you guys seen Abigail

or anyone else who's been eliminated?

- No, but I mean, that's kinda the point.

They're gone, dead to us.

- But they haven't left the island yet, have they?

- No one except for that pageant psycho.

They're all in holding.

- What's holding?

- It was in our contracts.

Everyone has to stay on the island

till the end of principal photography.

So when you get eliminated, you go to holding.

- Haven't you seen all the minions running around

with their little plates of food?

I heard they're not allowed

to have any books in there but a Bible.

- Kinda sounds like a prison.

- I mean, prisoners are getting more action

than we are these days.

Anyway, what's this about?

- I feel like there's something shady going on.

Something they're not telling us about.

- Like what?

- Like how Hannah left the island when she was supposed

to stay till the end of filming,

and how people just disappear once they've been eliminated.

- I don't know, Jess.

I mean, they've been running this show for a long time.

Everyone seems fine.

I think we just need to trust the process.

- I don't trust anyone.

- Okay, look, I don't have time for your bullshit.

There's no conspiracy.

It's just Garret and us.

And I suggest you focus on that so you don't disappear too.

- Where's holding?

- What's your 20?

- So Bill, did you get a chance

to watch that thing that I sent you?

The Vimeo link? - I haven't had the time.

- Okay, well, I actually really think you'd appreciate this.

- Hey, kiddo, I'm gonna stop you right now.

I'm never gonna watch your short.

Shorts are stupid, they're boring.

Please stop asking.

It's just embarrassing.

Why are you even here?

Shouldn't you be at the spa date?

Oh , yeah.

Understood.

Just heading over there now, Bill.

- Abigail?

Abs?

It's me, Jess.

Abs?

Abigail?

Hello?

- You're not supposed to be in here.

- I was just checking on Abigail.

I wanted to make sure she was okay.

- I'm afraid she's gone.

- Sorry?

- They just sent all the sequestered girls

away this morning.

They're on their way back to the mainland.

- Seriously?

Just now they left?

- That's what they told me.

- Look, you better get back to the mansion,

and just make sure nobody sees you.

- Of course.

Thanks, Lance.

Come on.

Jess?

- They need you back down on set for a breakup interview.

They said if you're too tired though,

we can totally get it tomorrow.

It's no problem.

- No worries.

I'll come down.

Are you gonna direct this one?

Bill would kill me.

- Hey, can I ask you something just between us?

- Of course.

- I just, I feel like there's something going on

that they're not telling us about.

- Is this about Hannah?

- Yes.

And the girls that went to the spa date,

they disappeared too.

- Ah, look, there's not much I can tell you,

but nobody knows what exactly is going on,

and they told us to keep our mouths shut.

- Well, what does that mean? - Megan!

What did I say about the firewood in the Lover's Lodge?

- I'm going there now.

They just need me to grab Jess for a pickup.

- I'm gonna head to set.

Talk to you see, Maya?

- Okay, it sounds to me

like you know my show better than I do.

- No, Sir.

- Good.

That's good.

Because there are 200 desperate NYU students

that would take your job for half the pay in a second.

We're one night away from the Lover's Lodge.

Needs to be perfect. - Yes, Sir.

Last looks at the Lover's Lodge.

Good.

Call time is six a.m. tomorrow.

- Copy that.

Bill, go to two.

Anyone?

Hello?

Why the fuck does no one ever pick up their walkie?

Anyone?

Hello?

It's nothing.

It's nothing.

Go home.

Take a shower, get some food.

- Why are we here?

The Breakup Session isn't till tonight.

- No idea.

- Hello, ladies.

You're looking beautiful this morning.

- And rolling.

- You're probably wondering, where are the other girls?

Where is the competition?

Well, I've got some good news for you.

Garret has decided to eliminate

all three girls from the spa date,

which means you three

are the final girls left on "Love at Last."

- And Jess, Garret wanted you to have this.

Garret will see you tonight in the courtyard

for a very special date.

- Come in.

Jess,

our matron saint.

Please come on in, sit.

Can I get you a drink?

If you're tired of rum, we have vodka.

- No, no thank you.

- All right.

What can I do for you?

- I wanna go home.

- Really?

You've made it so far.

- I know, and I'm so grateful

for everything the show has done

and for all my time here,

but I just- - You wanna go home,

see your family, be with your daughter?

- Yes.

- Totally get it.

I'm assuming you've discussed this with Garret.

- Well, no, actually.

- I think he's gonna be pretty upset to hear you're leaving.

I mean, he's let us know

he's very excited about your date tonight.

- Did he say that?

- Yeah.

You're surprised?

- We've hardly even talked.

- Jess, I think you're a smart enough girl

to know not to conflate the quantity

of time spent with the Beau

with the quality of time spent.

I think you might be undervaluing

the degree of the connection

that you've made with Mr. Dalton.

- Okay, I just call it like I see it.

- Like you see it?

Right, but that's not the way we see it.

In a place like this,

wouldn't you agree that we might see

maybe just a little bit more than you do?

- I'd call that an understatement.

Yeah?

- Jess, I'm gonna show you something

I'm not supposed to show you.

- There is this one girl, Jess.

She's different.

She's not into any of the shallow games here.

I haven't talked to her that much,

but I can't stop thinking about her.

She's got this strength,

this depth that none of the other girls here seem to have.

I see the way she carries herself,

even when she doesn't know I'm looking, you know?

All the other girls are fixing their hair and their makeup,

camera's about to roll, and Jess doesn't do that.

She's helping them.

She's focused on them, supporting them.

She sees the world as something bigger than herself,

and I just can't wait to get to know her better.

- So, you have every right to go home today

if that's what you want, but think of it this way.

Has any man ever talked about you like that?

Has your ex-husband ever talked about you like that?

No.

No, he didn't.

- Well, say what you want about this show.

At the end of the day, we do connect people.

And you've made it so far.

Do you really wanna miss out an opportunity

to make a connection like this?

All right, nothing crazy.

First generation college student, little left of center.

Parents are estranged, so family means like a lot to her.

- Why must every single mom on these shows

make their entire personality, "I'm a mom!"

Never heard her talk

about a daughter once, honestly.

- Where's the dad? - He's outta the picture.

- How old's her kid? - Seven.

Knocked up young, huh?

Well, I can't wait to hear the whole story tonight.

I'm crying already.

Look, I have kept her around long enough for you two.

Why?

Why must I keep doing this song and dance?

- Okay, settle down, Dalton.

The network loves her.

And you may not be seeing it,

but we're actually getting good stuff.

They wanna bring Hannah in

for an after show cat fight.

- Oh, please.

I am so bored.

Just let me leave this island.

- Does that mean that you picked a winner?

- Chloe, Madison, whatever.

Either way, we're gonna go to The Bahamas,

we're gonna fuck for a week,

we're gonna break up on Instagram,

and then we're gonna go our separate ways.

I don't care.

- "Love at Last" Nation cares.

America cares.

All right, Garret.

When your mother came to us after the whole incident

with the intern at Daddy's company,

she only gave us one instruction, make you look good.

You wanna look good, don't you?

- What's more admirable than a man who's willing

to give anyone a shot at love?

- Or a man who's grateful there isn't footage airing

of him acting like an asshole?

- Fine.

Tell me what I gotta do.

- Someone's giddy. - I'm not giddy.

I'm just excited.

- Have you picked a dress yet?

- I saw what you did, and I can't, Chloe.

It's too much.

- What are you talking about?

- This sexy number.

I found it in my suitcase, but I never packed it.

I mean, when did you sneak it in?

- I wish I would've picked this out.

Va-va-voom!

- Wait, you didn't put it in there?

- No, it looks like someone else did.

Here, there's a note.

I didn't see this.

What?

Who was it?

- My idiot brother.

I guess they ordered this when we found out the news.

It's just too much.

I can't.

- Look, I know I'm technically your competition,

but I am so happy for you.

You deserve this.

Look, tonight is gonna be one of those nights

you remember for the rest of your life.

I can feel it.

- Okay.

Yep, that looks good.

Okay. You ready, Garret?

All right, speeding.

And action, Jess.

Holy shit.

- Holy shit.

I've been waiting

for this moment for such a long time.

- Me too.

- And then little Devin, he raises his hand and he says,

"Mr. Dalton, are you pullin' my blockchain?"

That is so sweet.

- Yeah, they're fun.

Enough about me.

Tell me about your daughter.

Leylah.

- Uh, Leylah.

- Leylah is seven years old, and I love her to death.

But to be honest- - Just like Cyrano.

- she can be quite a handful.

She's headstrong, stubborn.

She always gets what she wants.

She must get that from her mother.

- She must get that from you.

I think you might be right.

Ask about her ex-husband.

- I know divorce can be so hard on kids.

It must have been very tough on her, and on you.

- Well, it wasn't easy.

- If I can ask what happened?

- You know, I've gone over it over and over again,

and the only explanation I could come up with

is that he just wasn't ready to be a dad.

And once Leylah came, everything changed.

We went from being a couple to being a family,

and his role changed.

And I don't think he could handle it.

And something about fatherhood brought out

his insecurities and shortcomings, and so he left.

- I'm so sorry, Jess.

I can't imagine that level of betrayal.

- It definitely made it hard to get back out there.

And I keep having this fear, you know?

This gnawing, creeping fear that I'm depriving Leylah

of the father figure she needs, that I'm not enough for her.

- Well,

I want you to know that I would be honored

to be that man in Leylah's life.

- This is so fucking cruel.

- Wait for it.

- And I would be even more honored

to be the man in your life.

- Wow.

I think that's the first kiss I've had in like three years.

- Well, there's funny more where that came from.

Hold, hold.

And cut.

That's a wrap on the date.

Company move to the Breakup Session

and then onto Lover's Lodge.

Let's boogie. - Right.

That's a wrap for the end of the day.

- That was fun. See you soon.

- Okay.

Hey, have you seen Maya around?

- Who? - Maya?

Do you know what she's been up to?

- Oh, I think Bill sent her

to the mainland for a supply run.

But don't worry,

she's not anybody you need to concern yourself with.

- Ladies,

for two of you, tonight will be a very special night.

If you are chosen, you will be one of Garret's final picks,

and you will have the opportunity to get to know

your Beau a little more intimately at the Lover's Lodge.

However, for one of you, your journey must end here.

Garret.

- All of you have touched me

in very special ways.

Unfortunately, I'm not the one pulling the strings here.

I can only choose two of you to move on with me.

Madison.

Madison, may I have this dance?

- Definitely.

- Chloe, no matter what happens,

I love you and I want the best for you.

- Chloe.

Oh my God, oh my God.

- Chloe, may I have this dance?

- A thousand times yes.

- Jess!

Leave me alone!

Stay on her.

- Leave me alone.

I don't wanna talk anymore.

- I know, I know.

But maybe there's someone you do wanna talk to.

- Seriously?

10 minutes.

- Okay.

- Sis, yo!

What time is it over there?

Hey, I see you got my present.

- Gabe, you asshole.

How much did this dress cost?

- Well, we all chipped in a little bit.

You gotta make us look good on TV.

Hey, Leylah, come here.

Say hi to your mom.

- Mommy.

Are you inside the TV?

- Oh yeah, sweetie.

I'm inside the TV.

- Will they ever let you out?

- Yes, I promise.

In fact, I'm actually getting out tonight.

- Really?

Yes.

I love you so much, and I cannot wait to see you and anaku.

- I miss you too.

- Dude, we are a mess without you.

I'm apparently cutting the sandwiches wrong

and my bedtime stories are stupid.

Come home soon.

Leylah misses her mom.

- I will, 'kay?

Soon.

- You okay, sis?

I gotta go now, okay?

I love you so much.

- I love you, too.

- You shouldn't have done that.

- Feel free to send me home.

- Watch it, Jess.

Worse things have happened to contestants

who didn't follow the rules.

- Oh, shit.

I...

- Everything you told me,

everything you said on camera?

- I thought we both agreed this whole thing is bullshit?

- Yeah, then, but I mean, things changed, right?

Oh, sweetie.

Look, we set the ground rules, okay?

I mean, if you got caught up in the candles

and champagne and chandeliers, that's on you.

I'm glad we had our fun.

You never know when your time's up, right?

- All right, Jess, come on.

Let's get you to holding.

- Nicki? - What?

- You're really good at your job.

I hope it makes you happy,

and I'm not going anywhere with you.

- Yep, she's on the move.

- Tonight is a very special night.

As our contestants get to spend some quality time

with their Beau at "Love at Last's" own cabin in the woods,

the Lover's Lodge.

This is the chance for our contestants

to show their connection with the Beau

a little more intimately.

No cameras, no crew,

just our Beau and his lucky lady in complete privacy.

Here's to a night Garret and Chloe will never forget.

- Hey,

can I talk to you?

I thought the shuttle was coming in the morning.

- I have nowhere else to go.

- Look, I wanted to apologize.

I'm sorry.

I'm not usually this person.

- I get it.

We're all here to put on a show.

- Actually, no, that's what I'm trying to tell you.

I haven't been honest about why I'm actually here.

- What do you mean?

- Look, I think I can trust you.

That's the only reason I'm telling you this,

and I need your help.

- Well, what is it?

- So,

Garret and I went to college together,

but our paths never crossed.

And,

this wig seems to be working,

so he doesn't know.

Anyway, my senior year in college,

he became obsessed with my best friend.

They met at a party and she rejected him.

And of course, he couldn't take no for an answer.

So he followed her back to our apartment and he, he...

- My God, Madison.

- It ruined her.

And his family has access to everything,

so they buried the story.

They discredited her.

She had to drop out of school.

And of course, nothing happened to him.

- That's awful.

I'm so sorry. - No,

I'm sorry for everything that I have said to you,

and done to you.

I'm just trying to get closer to Garret.

- To do what, though?

- I'm gonna win his heart

and ruin him on national television.

So far everything has gone as planned, except tonight.

I thought I was going first.

But...

- Chloe.

- Chloe.

Right now, she's alone in that cabin with him.

- Let's go.

- Oh my God, Garret, it's amazing.

- Yeah, well, it took me forever to set it up,

but I have waited so long for this.

- I hope it was worth it.

- It will be,

if you can do something for me.

- Okay?

- I have a special surprise for you.

- Okay.

Okay.

What?

- I will be at the other end of this ribbon,

and you'll come find me.

No peaking.

Okay.

I think I might be a little overdressed.

Garret?

Okay, okay, I'm in the water now.

You've got me.

Where are you?

Oh, there you are.

- Chloe!

- Wish I could lose eight pounds that fast.

- You two didn't see anyone coming outta the cabin?

- No, we went straight to Chloe.

She was in shock.

- Like we said, we heard screaming,

we ran over, and when we got there,

we found Marie Antoinette in the hot tub.

- Why do you look different?

Nevermind.

Thank you both so much.

Please let me know if there's anything I could do for you.

- Well, where's Chloe by the way?

- And what about the cops?

- Just sit tight.

They're on their way from the mainland.

- How do you know? Have you talked to them?

- Just sit tight.

Hey, guys.

So, do you know? When's the wrap party?

- What?

- We haven't wrapped.

- No, so why the fuck aren't we shooting?

Seriously, how many hours of bullshit footage

do we have of ambulances pulling in and out?

Nothing's happening.

Something is actually happening right now.

Grab some cameras.

- Bill, you know I can't do that.

The crew's never gonna-

- I've already arranged for the crew

to be on the first shuttle outta here.

I'm not fuckin' with them.

They're a union.

But you guys are staying here with me.

- You can't be serious.

- You wanna be an executive producer?

Either one of you?

Prove it.

I'm calling the network, I'm calling the insurance company.

You guys grab some footage, get the crew outta here.

Keep the girls quiet.

- Oh, fuck, the girls.

What are we gonna do with them?

- I just told you what to do.

Get some footage.

Girls aren't goin' anywhere.

- Fuck me.

Move, Patrick! - Sorry.

- I wanna go home.

- I know.

- We're almost there, sweetie.

It's okay. - Seriously?

- The fuck do you think you're doing?

- Hey, you signed a contract.

So until you leave the island,

we have a right to keep filming, okay?

- What's wrong with you?

Look, someone has died.

- She clearly needs medical attention.

What the hell are we waiting for?

- We're working on it.

As soon as the boat gets back after dropping off the crew,

we'll all be on the next one out.

- Wait, the next one?

Are you kidding me?

- Look, it's not my call.

Bill's keeping us on the island

until we can figure it out, okay?

Just hang tight.

Wow.

- Garret wasn't the only one.

- What do you mean?

- Hannah, Abigail, Maya.

All these girls disappeared without a trace

and no one has said anything.

There's a killer on this island,

and they're still with us.

- I wanna go home.

- We're gonna get you home.

- Patrick, please, put Chloe on the cruise shuttle.

She needs to see a doctor. - Shh!

Keep your voice down.

- Patrick, she just witnessed a decapitation on your watch.

When we get home and we start the circus of interviews,

how do you wanna come off?

- Okay, but if Bill asks, no one saw anything.

Do you understand?

- Thank you.

- Okay, you're almost home.

We're gonna call you as soon as we get back, okay?

- Thank you guys, for everything.

- We will see you on the other side.

- Is this everyone? - Yeah.

Well, what's going on?

- They're just having a safety meeting.

- It's a little late for that, don't you think?

- Hello?

Hello everybody, hi.

I just, if I could have your attention.

Come on a little closer.

I know that the season's been cut short ,

but yeah, I just, I wanted to say thank you.

I wanted to thank each and every one of you.

If we didn't have a crew, we wouldn't have a show.

So, Nicki? - Oh, yeah.

Yeah, and I know that we're going

through an awful lot right now,

but it wouldn't be "Love at Last" without champagne,

so everybody grab a glass and raise a toast to you,

to the crew, to the backbone of "Love at Last,"

and to the memory of Garret Dalton.

Anyway, cheers.

- Give me that.

Okay.

- We got the good stuff in the back.

Oh my God, what's happening?

- Oh my God.

- What the fuck is going on?

- My God! - Holy shit.

- Do something.

What am I supposed to do?

- Where's Bill?

- The champagne, it's the champagne.

Oh, Chloe!

- Okay, we need a boat, we need a plane, we need...

Hello?

We need to get the fuck out of here.

Hello?

- Look, can we get our phone back?

- I can at least try something on mine.

- What?

Yeah, of course.

They're just over in holding.

- No one leaves this room.

- Bill! - No one leaves this room.

We stay here together,

we keep our hands where we can see them,

and then when the rescue boat arrives, we leave together.

Got it?

- Fuck this.

Hello?

Hello? Can you hear me?

- Madison?

- Hey. - Is everything okay?

- Yeah.

Look, I'm sorry I left like that.

I just couldn't stand around knowing that someone in there-

- I know.

I can't shake the question why?

Chloe's dead.

The crew's dead.

Garret is dead.

I mean, who else has a reason to kill anyone here?

- What are you saying?

- Look, I want to trust you Madison,

but I need to know.

- You need to know what?

There's nothing left to say.

Hello?

Hey, can you hear me?

We need help.

We're Oxley Island.

What the?

Wait, stop.

No, fuck!

Hello?

- Rolling.

- Untie me, you asshole.

- Congratulations, Jess Rose.

You are the final girl

in the historic 25th season of "Love at Last."

How does it feel?

- Patrick, all those people?

Oh, you don't even know.

Let me, let me get you caught up to speed.

Yeah.

No!

Jess?

Yeah.

Chloe!

- No, no.

Fuck! Hello?

And you're the grand finale.

- Why?

Why would you?

- Uh, 10 years in this God forsaken industry.

I mean, 10 miserable, fucking miserable years.

Do you think that I ever wanted to work in reality TV?

- You're a monster. - I'm...

Well, at least now I get to be my own executive producer.

I just had to, you know, switch up the genre.

It's really not that different when you think about it.

Let me go, please.

I never wanted to be here.

I just wanna be home.

I have a daughter.

- I know.

That's what made you so interesting.

I was rooting for you the whole time.

You're not like all these other girls, Jess,

which is why I'm gonna give you the choice,

how you die.

This?

That's an interesting choice.

I respect it.

- Hey!

Where is everybody?

Nobody came to get me.

Oh, God! - Lance!

Lance!

I can't believe those bastards forgot about me.

I have been the face of this franchise from Season 1,

and everybody leaves without me?

- I'm so glad you didn't leave.

let's get outta here.

- Oh, God!

Jess!

We haven't wrapped yet.

What the fuck?

- Jess?

Jess?

We're not finished.

I was wrong.

You're all the same.

All you girls are the same.

You're just,

actors.

Pathetic, pathetic, predictable, predictable actors.

Come to this island pretending it's for love

but let's just cut the bullshit!

Bullshit!

You just wanna be famous.

I'm just helping you get what you want!

I mean, think about it.

What's more famous than a young, beautiful, dead girl?

- Fuck.

- Careful, Patrick.

Hot points.

- Jess?

- Lance!

- You know what?

This was definitely the most dramatic season ever.

- Oh, Lance, I think I'm ready to ho home.

- Yes, me too.

- It's like a ghost town here.

- The team did their job.

Can't complain.

That's everything?

- Every gigabyte.

What about the girl?

- We threw so many lawyers down her throat,

if she even threatens to break her NDA,

we'll sue her into oblivion.

Hm, well then, I guess that's everything.

- Good.

Let's get outta here.

I hate comin' to set.

You hungry?

I know a great fish taco place on the mainland.

Sounds good.

I wanna pitch you some ideas for the next season.
