[upbeat music]

All right, party people.

You ready for the countdown?

Hey, there you go.

Thank you for coming.

Ooh!

- I was just coming for you.
- Oh, yeah?

You got that midnight
playlist ready.

Uh, let me check.

Have you seen Nic by the way? I-

They should be here by now.

Uh, I haven't seen her.

- Okay, got it.
- Okay.

- First. I've got news.
- Mm?

- What?
- I just got an email

that one of Brad Smith's
interns dropped out,

and they want me.

Isn't that incredible?

Brad Smith, as in,

across the country Brad Smith?

As in the biggest
marketing consultant

in the country. Yeah.

Right, no, this
is amazing, except...

I'm signing the lease for
the art gallery,

and you were supposed to
stay with Gables

so that we can be here together.

- Remember?
- Well Look. [sigh]

I know it's a lot to digest,

but this is a big
opportunity for me, Laur. Okay?

Look, I gotta queue up
this playlist,

but let's talk about this
more after the party.

I love you. [kisses]

[party music]

[background chatter]

Hey y'all, happy New Year.

[chuckles]

Hey.

Hey.

Hi.

[chuckles]

[sighs]

Oh, Nic!

There you are!

Happy New Year.

- Champagne?
- Oh, I'm good.

I'll wait until the countdown.

I will take some.

Tara, right?

My visual arts class?

Well, I am Lauren,

your hostess with the mostess.

Hey, Laur, are you okay?

You usually take it easy

at your own parties.
Yeah, well,

your boyfriend done just
changed the plans on you, which

clearly doesn't take what I want

into account. So there's that.

- Whoa whoa.
- You need to sit down?

Yeah, you guys should sit down.

Wait you're Sydney,
the track star.

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

She made pakora.

You see, now that's a
proper guest. Thank you.

Hey, are you okay?

Yeah, yeah I'm fine.

My boyfriend dumped me.

Dump number four.

Well, enjoy that club,

because Nic here just
got stood up,

Lauren just had the
goalposts changed.

Looks like we are part of

the Broken Hearts Club.

Well, okay. Maybe we
are right now, but

the one we're meant to be with

has gotta be out
there somewhere.

Right? So we just
have to be the smart,

strong women that we are,

and start making some
great choices.

Like no more more IN-2-U app,

because you will not find
your soulmate on that.

I would have to agree with that.

I was looking, but

done and done.

I guess that means I'm
dumping Peter.

[Nicole] No. Well, you two
love each other.

If that's true, then I'd give
him another chance.

Talk it out.

- Yeah. But remind him of what yo
- [Nic] Definitely.

[Sydney] And then maybe I should
talk to Byron

and give him another shot.

- No.
- No no no.

Sorry, four dumps is not a charm

Ladies, look at us.

We're solving each other's
romantic crises right now.

So we are not a
Broken Hearts club.

- We're the Love Club.
- [Sydney] I like it.

Oh. [gasp]

You know what? Hey.

Let's-let's make a vow.

From this day forward,

we are there for one another

when our hearts lose.

To the Love Club.

[everyone laughing]

[new years countdown chants]

[Everyone] Happy New Year!

- [Nic] Cheers, guys!
- [everyone applauding]

And get ready for soccer.

'Kay.

Come this way.

Hey.

Parent-teacher meeting?

It was great. Yeah.

The teacher said she's
very creative.

- Oh?
- Yeah. Look at this.

Okay.

Oh. Oh.

The students had to
close their eyes

and just let the brush

flow around the page.

Steph really ran with this, huh?

That's what I thought.

Well, sorry I wasn't
at the meeting.

You know, work.

Yeah, I know.

Uh here, let me give you a hand.

Oh, thanks.

Uh.

You're going by Sanders now?

It is my maiden name, Peter.

Right, right.

Oh, there's my girl.
You all ready to go?

- Yep.
- Yeah? Okay.

Bye, mom.

Bye, baby.
Have fun at your dad's.

Mwah.

Before I forget,
my lawyer's been asking

when the executed papers
will be ready.

Uh Yeah, I'll have those down

when I get a chance to
read them over.

Hey, you're the one

who wanted to get things moving.

- So.
- Yes.

I'm just getting things done,

like I always do.

Right. Okay.

- Bye, bug.
- Okay, let's go.

[gentle music]

Hi.

Yes, this is Lauren Bishop-

I mean, Sanders.

I'm just following up
on the curator position.

Right. I understand, but

I volunteer at the art college,

and I've also been
collecting art for years.

Plus I'm head of the
Parents Association.

Right.

Well, thank you for your
consideration.

[gentle music]

[gentle music continues]

[phone buzzing]

Hi, Diane.

It's okay.

No, I have the new soccer
schedule right here.

Just haven't sent it yet.
No, no, no, it's fine.

I will blast it out to
the team tonight.

Okay. Bye-Bye.

[gentle music continues]

Ladies.

Have you ever wondered
how you got somewhere?

Like, who would've thought

after that New Year's,

I'd marry Peter,

have a daughter,

a house,

all the good stuff.

Well, maybe not all
the good stuff,

because here I am

staring down divorce papers.

Yep.

I'm about to become a statistic.

Fun times. Right?

Although, if it means
I get to connect

with the Love Club,

it could be.

Because I'm guessing

this is considered a mess,

So,

here's a link.

You know what to do.

[gentle music]

[upbeat music]

Oh, thank you.

[Sydney] There she is!

Oh, hey.

Sorry I'm late to the party.

Peter's got Steph, and he forgot
to send her with something

for the bake sale today, so.

So does that mean it's official?

It is. It's just not,

you know, "oficial,"

because I still need to sign

the "documentals," but I will.

You sure? Because you do that
weird accent thing

when you're lying.
Yep.

And I mean, you guys
took that time apart. So.

Look, I'm sure, okay,

I just need to find the time to.

Read over the papers.

But you know,
there's just so much going on.

Like Steph's birthday
is coming up,

so you know, it's not
a fixable dilemma.

I'm so sorry, Lauren.

Yeah, that sucks.

Well, I have an idea of what
might make things better.

Us,

and cocktails, of course.

Oh. And I can prep the food.

[Exhales] Really?

I would love that.

Because the house does feel
a little empty lately. So.

Well then, we'll fill it.

Oh, I can't wait to see
you guys tomorrow.

I love you guys so much.

[gentle music]

I can't believe you
all coordinated

coming together.

Pretty impressive, huh?

Uh excuse me.

What is impressive

are all of the changes
you made out here!

Did you design this yourself?

Oh girl, of course not.

One of the parents at
the school is a designer.

I would have hired you,

but you're too busy

turning that inn into a
little love nest

with Josh.

Can I wait to feel
nauseous until later?

[Sidney] Come on, you are
singing on a cruise ship.

How romantic is that?

I was singing, okay.

And the only thing that I
clunked to, on that raft

was the all-you-can-eat buffet.

Oh, speaking of buffets,

Sid, how's the restaurant?

Amazing.

Home Cooking came and
filmed an episode.

That's my girl.

[Lauren] So proud of you.

And not because you
still have this mug

from New Year's.
Thank you.

Now tell us.

How'd you get here?

[heartfelt music]

Yeah. Right.

So, you know,

Peter and I took some time apart

a few months ago,

which really got me thinking

how I put my dreams,

opening a gallery, on hold,

doing everything for
everyone else

while Peter chased his dreams.

I mean, it's just as if he
sees my art collecting

as just a hobby

and forgot that I
have plans too.

And now I can't even find a job

as a gallery assistant.

You guys had the best story.

College sweethearts,

married right after grad',

even if there were some
bumps along the way.

Sorry to disappoint you,

but those bumps,

they turn into mountains.

No rom-com happy ending here.

Well, that's okay,

because I am here to tell you

single life does have its perks.

Check this out.

Are you still on that
dating site?

Oh. Only 'cause the high
seas were so dry.

Thanks, Tara. But I don't
think I'm ready for that yet.

I mean,

Peter has always been
the only one.

All the more reason to
have some fun. Here.

Changing my location.

There.

Now you can see what
you've been missing.

All right.

All right. Let's see.

Okay.

[everyone chuckling]

[Nic] The puppy!

[Tara] You would love the puppy.

[Tara] Oh, Thomas.

[gasp]

And that was quick.

You-you know, [studders]

I'm sure he's just
fooling around.

I- I don't mean like
fooling around, fooling around.

I mean, just, you know,
fooling around,

putting his profile up
just for fun.

Nic, it's okay.

I'm fine.

In fact, you know what?

I don't even need to
read the papers,

because I know exactly
what we agreed on. So,

I'm just gonna sign them.

Uh, Laur, are you sure?

Maybe you should think
on it some more?

[heartfelt music]

Listen.

There is nothing else
to think about

other than my future.

[heartfelt music]

There. Done and dusted.

[heartfelt music continues]

Girl, you are still the
hostest with the mostest.

Peter.

Well, not that you
shouldn't be here.

It's just the-

It's so good to see you.

Nice to see you too, Nic.

Oh, look, everyone. Um,

Peter's here.

- [Sydney] Morning.
- Hello, ladies.

Peter, what are you doing here?

Uh, Steph forgot
her science book

and I didn't want bother you, so

I used my key.

All right, I'll go grab it.

Thanks.

So, uh, you're all here for a
visit or what?

Oh, it's just a
little girl's trip.

Oh, great.

Great.

Good.

[everyone chuckles]

Ah, thank you.

Sorry uh,

Are these for me?

Yeah. Signed and everything,

- but um...
- Oh we had a wine incident.

Right uh. But don't worry,

I'll have my lawyer send
us new copies.

Okay.

- So...
- [Lauren] So,

shouldn't you be working, or

Yeah, I-uh

I should be off.
I'll see you all

later when I bring Steph home.

[Nic] Oh yeah, we'll be here.

[Peter] All right.
Have a good one.

Well, that seemed amicable.

Yeah. Seeing as
he still has a key.

Please. It's just for
convenience.

Like, if I wasn't here,

he'd be able to come in

and just grab whatever
Steph forgot.

Oh, shoot. Look. Um,

I got some job interviews

that are gonna go nowhere,

but please,

make yourselves home.

- See you guys later.
- Bye.

Convenience?

No way.

I think it's a one
foot in the door

kind of thing.

I think it's a control thing,

so that Peter can still feel

like the man of the house.

Sid, what do you think?

I mean, I love Laur,

and I hate that she's
feeling this way, but,

I also feel bad for
both of them.

- So I don't know what to think.
- Come on, guys.

I mean, she did the whole,
"it's oficial" thing.

Tara, you made fun of her

for doing that accent.

So maybe it's a good thing

we spilled wine on the papers.

Oh seriously, Nic?

This isn't one of
those sappy movies

you like watching.

Hey, for the record,

I like all movies now,

thanks to Josh.

But yes, I am serious. I think,

you know, we need to figure
out if I'm right

before she signs the
papers again.

[gentle music]

Ooh, what's all this?

Oh I figured it's our first
dinner together, so

I whipped up some of the
restaurant's greatest hits,

Um, Mama Stamdi noodles, and

New Year's Eve pakoras.

Mm.

I love how you pivot from

track star to master chef.

- Where's Tara?
- Oh, she's just taking a shower.

How were the interviews?

Like I said.

Because they can't seem
to understand that

the gap in my resume

isn't because I was lazy

or out of the loop,

it's because I was busy
being a wife.

- Yep.
- [Lauren] And a mom,

and a part-time teacher,

and my husband's
pseudo assistant.

You know, I read that,

a stay-at-home mom has
the same amount of work

as three full-time jobs.

Yes, exactly.

[Stephanie] Mom!

Hey, bug!

How was the bake sale?

Great.
Everyone loved the brownies,

except Bridget's mom, Diane.

She said they weren't homemade.

Oh, that's my bad [sighs].

I should have been on
bake sale duty.

What else is new?

Well, sweetie,
you remember Sid and Nic?

Well, of course she does.

Except I don't remember
you being this tall.

All right, well, I should...

go. It was nice seeing
you two again.

Send Tara my regards.

No, no, no. You know what
why don't you um

why don't you stay?

I mean Syd, you made
enough food, right?

Uh.

Yeah, I don't know.

I don't wanna crash your party.

Please, Dad, I didn't get to
show you my science project.

Well, if it's okay
with your mom, then...

Please, mom?

Yeah, the more the "merriah."

[Peter and Lauren laugh]

- Oh.
- Cheers.

[Tara] Well, this is cozy.

So, Peter.

How's business?

Yeah,

Lauren said you'd been
all about that.

Right. Uh.

Well, I've been focused

so that we wouldn't
have to worry

about our future.

No one was worried.

Oh.

Well, you've both

built a really
beautiful home here.

Thanks.

That's where Steph's grown up,

so we're keeping it.

All right. Um.

Who wants some dessert,

so we could wrap this up?

- [Peter] Here, let me-
- Oh, I can get it.

You know what? Um,

Peter, Laur,

why don't you guys um head in
and grab the dessert,

and we'll start clearing up.

I'll get my project ready
to show dad.

[playful music]

Well, I think this whole setup

to prove he has one
foot in the door failed.

So the best thing

is to help Laur get
on with things.

After you.

[Nic] Well, I was certain
that I felt something.

All I felt was uncomfortable.

Yeah.

[gasp] Oh, did you see that?

What?

The way they're moving
around each other.

I mean, they're so in sync.

That is a sign.

Sorry.

[Tara] No, that is like walking
around a horse

to let him know you're there.

How do you know that?

What? I did a singing gig at a
horse derby once.

What?

[heartfelt music]

- [Nic] Hey.
- Hey.

Oh, um, Sid just wanted
me to let you know

that she's taking
Steph to school.

Oh, well, thanks for that.

You know, Steph really loves
hanging with you guys.

Yeah, well, we do too.

You know, dinner
last night was really nice,

all of us together.

Maybe the three of you should,

do it again. You know,
just to show Steph

that her parents are
getting along.

I don't think I could
fake it anymore

now that I know that
he's dating.

Well, I mean,
would you be faking it?

[Nic] I felt a vibe,

I mean, maybe you called us here

for more than just
moral support.

Okay, fine.

Yes. I did hesitate with the pap

but that's just because

it's a really big deal.

Yeah, it is.

But, maybe it's also
something else.

[heartfelt music]

Mm. I forgot how good
Sid's pakoras

are for breakfast.

We have to help Laur.

So you agree

we need to help her move on?

No.

Because she's not even sure
how she's feeling,

so all of this could just
not even be over.

Fine.

That'll make her
feeling something.

Yeah, that's not
what I meant, Tara.

Hey, Laur. Perfect.

We were just saying how
fun it would be

to set up your dating profile.

How about we take some pics?

Right now?

I don't know if I'm
made up enough for that.

You look beautiful.

Okay.

I am so not
participating in this.

So.

What do you wanna say?

Um, let's see.

I love art.

And my daughter, of course.

Yes. That's good.

Good. Keep going.

I love collecting art,

but I guess that's the
same as the whole

loving art thing, right?

You know what?
Maybe we wait

and think on all of this later.

Oh, I know.

What about the gallery,
the one you wanted to open?

That's exciting.

Yeah. I mean,
it would be, but

but it never happened. So.

Well, make it happen.

Okay. Look at all the
art in here.

I mean, it's already
like a gallery.

And how fabulous would
"gallery owner"

sound on your profile, huh?

I mean, I-

I have been following

this incredible group of
upcoming artists

I would love to showcase.

And you have such a great eye,

right, Nic?

Yeah, you really do.

Yeah, you're right.

I do have a great eye.

I think that's what you
should focus on,

the art.

You know what?
I'm gonna do it.

Im gonna call up an agent.

I'ma go out there.

I'm gonna find myself my own spa

for my art gallery.

Perfect.

You just post the profile?

Yeah, that's what we're doing,
right?

Oh gosh.

[giggles]

Hey, what'd I miss?

[Sydney] What?

[upbeat music]

Here we are.

It just needs a bit
of brightening.

Nothing a little artwork
can't take care of.

Oh.

It's my son.

- I'm sorry.
- Oh, it's okay.

Go ahead. Take it.
I'm gonna poke around.

[giggles]

[romantic music]

Buenos días.

Oh, hello.

Who are you?

I'm Carlos.

I live upstairs in my studio.

Lauren.

It's my pleasure.

Are you renting?

Oh, I don't know yet.

I wanna open an art gallery, but

this is the first
place I've seen.

Oh, fellow artist.

Oh, no, I'm not an artist,

but I do love art,

in all its forms,

like you.

I mean, because you,

you are an artist,

I'm assuming, be-

because you said- Um.

Yes, I am.

- I am.
- Right okay.

Well, Lauren,

I'm sure if you rent this space,

you'll transform it into one of

unimaginable beauty.

Until, I hope we meet again.

[romantic music]

I'll take it.

Great.

You know, I'm really glad

that Lauren was inspired to open
her gallery,

but I wish there was a way

to find out if there's something
between her and Peter.

And I don't think dating

is the way to make that happen.

[Sydney] I was not in on that,
by the way.

[Tara] You wanna know where
his head is at,

then here.

I just sent him a
message on IN-2-U.

What? Why?

Relax.

It wasn't really me.

Okay? It was my
dummy profile, Jolene.

Why do you have a dummy profile?

You know, when
I wanna just cruise.

I'm sorry. No. Can we just
get back to the point here?

What did you send to him?

Just said I liked his
profile. A lot.

And now, depending
on how Peter responds,

we're gonna know if he's
moved on or not.

And if he has,

well,

what's good for the goose

is good for the gander.

Here's that proposal you wanted.

Ooh, you got a
message from Jolene.

Wow. See?

Told you it was a good idea
to get back out there.

Okay. Don't get too excited.

I only signed up
because I was pissed

Lauren's changing her name.

Because you're getting divorced.

Yeah. So I'm told.

[phone beeps]

He sent a wave.

What does that mean?

Nothing really.

Okay, well, is it
like a "hi," or

like a "hey, over here," or-

It's noncommittal,

for now.

Noncommittal.

Eh? Not bad.

Oh, she's cute.

Wait what are you doing?

Nothing. Just fishing.

- Okay. Gimme that.
- Oh, hang on, hang on.

Oh, this one's a solid match.

No, no, no. Seriously. Oh,

her name is Serena,

she's great with kids, and

she's in marketing.

- All right, just-
- Eh?

Give it up already.

Okay.

But I'm telling you,
you need to get back out there.

Your wife has.

What do you mean?

[melancholic music]

Is that him?

No, that one's for me.

Oh, Sam, he's quite cute.

- Hey.
- Guys, guess what?

- What?
- I signed a lease!

- [Sydney] Really?
- [Lauren] Yes!

- [Sydney] Congratulations!
- That's great!

It's so cute and eclectic.

And there's this artist, Carlos,

who lives upstairs,

and he is so handsome.

[Lauren chuckles]

Okay, now I just need to go
and figure out

what pieces to bring in.

Oh shoot. I gotta pick up Steph.

Oh, we can do that.

You sure?

That'd be great.

She has to be at a
sleepover tonight,

so she needs to pack one
bag when she comes home.

Thanks guys.

I'm so excited!

Yay!

Well, I guess she's
not gonna need

that dating app anymore.

No,

because now we have a
much bigger fish to fry,

and his name is Carlos.

We should just let this go.

Let her have some fun,
if you know what I mean.

Well, it's not really fun

if it means that
there's no chance

of her and you know who

getting back together.

But if she doesn't know

she still loves you know who

and vice versa...

Well, hey,

the only thing he sent to

Jolene, was a noncommittal wave.

I know mom and dad still
love each other.

Of course they do, sweetie.

And they're always going to.

So my friends' parents
who got divorced

told him that too.

But they really don't.

But mom and dad do.

How can you be so sure?

Because they both still sleep

on one side of their beds,

like the other part of
them is missing.

Hey, bug.

We have about an hour before
you need to be at Bridget's,

so why don't you grab
yourself a snack?

And if you guys are good,

I'm going to go to
Peter's office

before he leaves for the day.

I was hoping he'd loan me

one of these
incredible art pieces

I gave him for his 30th.

You should butter him up
with some cookies

that I made earlier.

Um, okay.

[Lauren] But you're still coming
by the gallery later, right?

Of course.

Ok great. Bye, baby.

See you later.

Bye guys.

Good luck.

[background chatter]

It's perfect.

[background chatter]

[heartfelt music]

Hey. Is Peter around?

[elevator bell dings]

[Serena] Is that why she
smelled so bad?

[Peter] Yes.

Oh man.

Well, I gotta say, Peter,

I'm so glad that my silly wave

turned into a last
minute coffee date.

Yes, I'm uh. I'm glad
I messaged you back.

I mean, I can see why we match.

We have so much in common.

Same occupation,

same...

A lot of things really.

Apparently yes.

Including that meeting

I have with your
colleague upstairs

in five minutes.

Just another amazing connection

we happen to have.

- [Peter] Right?
- [Serena] Yeah.

Well, I hope that we can
do this again.

I was thinking maybe
we do cocktails

or dinner next time?

- Sounds great.
- Yeah.

Good luck with your meeting.

Thank you.

Hey,

where did my paintings go?

[upbeat music continues]

This space is perfect.

Yeah, it's so

urban chic.

Great. Glad you like it.

So, is that the painting?

Mm-hm.

Peter must be impressed
you're doing all this.

How would I know
'cause he's too busy

on his date with Serena,

his perfect match on IN-2-U.

Well, are you sure it was a date

Oh,

I'm sure.

Do you know what?

It's okay.

Because that ship has sunk,

but my ship is ready
to set sail.

Look at me.

I'm a whole new woman.

And I'm so ready to
start my life over again

the way that I planned,

which includes

finding someone who
appreciates me.

Peter didn't even get art.

Knock, knock.

Carlos.

- Hi.
- Hi. So good to see you.

[Lauren] You too.

I want you to meet my friends.

This is Syd, Nic, and Tara.

- Hi
- Ladies, it is a pleasure.

This is for you,

as a welcome.

Thank you.

Now please explain to me,

is that a Gerardo?

It is.

Oh my!

- Really?
- Mm-hm.

Asombroso.

I mean, I am a huge
admirer of his work.

I mean, look at this
brush strokes.

[Lauren] He really has
an amazing way with

making the piece feel

like it's movement.

Fluidity.

Exactly.

Yeah, just so good.

Yeah. We should probably
get busy though, um,

we have to get this place ready.

- So...
- You know, Carlos,

I was able to get some pieces

from local artists.

I would love for you to see.

And I would love nothing more.

Great.

I'll bring them here tomorrow.

I will see you then.

[Carlos speaks Spanish]

[Nic] Mhmm.

Well, I think someone

may have just boarded your ship.

[everyone giggles]

[upbeat music]

All right, ladies,
what do you think?

Scarf or no scarf?

Olé, I like it.

- Spanish silk?
- You know it.

[Lauren and Tara laughs]

Yeah, I mean,
it's a little warm for a scarf.

It's silk, not wool.

All right, wish me luck.

Thank you so much for
watching Steph.

Adiós.

One of us should have gone as
a buffer between her and Carlos.

Why? Peter went on a date.

Why should we spoil hers?

Who said anything about a date?

Peter and that girl went
out for coffee,

and you can't spoil

what Lauren and Peter had...

Have, with coffee.

Don't worry, Nic,

I got this covered,

because if anyone

can bring Lauren and
Peter back together,

it's Steph.

[heartfelt music]

Buenos dias.

Carlos. Hi.

Oh.

Wow.

It's like it's screaming at me

through the canvas.

I know.

I've never known an artist

to make an image that
just captures my soul

like Bianca does.

She really is an incredible,

unmined talent.

One which you saw.

Thanks.

You know,

with this amazing eye you have,

your gallery will be a
great success.

Thank you.

Ooh, what is this?

Clara.

It's what we would have

back home in the summer.

Half beer, half lemonade.

It would make a killing

at the school barbecue.

[giggles]

Salut.

[romantic music]

Here, I,

brought you
something I have made.

It's a

my recent project.

I hope you like.

Oh!

Wow!

This-

This is "fantastique."

[laughs nervously]

What inspired you to make this?

What's it called?

This one is called
Circulo de la vida.

- I make them all by feel.
- [romantic music]

I close my eyes and

move my hands

over the stone.

Each beautiful imperfection

tells me a story,

and once the story
has been told I begin.

That's funny 'cause my daughter

just made a project like that,

eyes closed, um.

Nic is right, it is hot.

Here.

[romantic music]

Better?

Um, I'm sorry, no.

- It's okay.
- Um.

- It's okay.
- No. No, it's not.

You.

You're hot, okay?

And I mean,

fresh out the oven hot.

And I'm

single for what
seems like a minute.

I mean, I literally just signed

for my first dating site.

I understand.

Thank you.

Yeah.

So what about you, any

serious relationships?

If you mean, have I
been in love?

Yes.

I am in love every day,

because

I don't believe love is serious

because it is everything.

And if you think
everything is serious,

then you're really not living.

Mhm?

You know?

Well,

I'll be living very soon again

after I take care of a
few other things.

And on that note,

I should really get back

to getting the gallery ready.

But thank you.

Of course. Of course.

And please,

keep this sculpture,

as a gift.

[hopeful music]

[upbeat music]

This is good.

My mom's are okay.

Well she's better at making

what she calls "charcuterie."

Oh like a

platter with cheeses and meats?

Yeah.

She always used to make one
for the parties

she and my dad had.

Everyone always said they
were the best.

Well, there's a reason we
called your parents

the hosts with the most.

I'm sure they've planned some
pretty great parties for you.

And I heard you have a
birthday coming up.

I do, but,

I don't think they're gonna plan
together this time,

'cause, you know.

Well, I think,

if you want them to plan it,

I'm sure they will.

I think I get why my mom

calls you guys the Love Club.

[Sydney laughs]

Why don't you go inside
and pick out some more cupcakes

for this birthday brainstorming.

I'll be right there.

Okay.

I have a job for you two.

I hope Syd's right

and this works.

Well, I'm only here for the kid,
so.

Knock, knock.

I hope we're not interrupting.

Yeah, actually I was just
gonna make a call.

We need to talk about
your daughter's birthday.

Yeah. 'Cause you and Lauren are
gonna plan it.

Oh, uh I don't know.

I haven't spoken to
Lauren about it-

But you should 'cause
I think Steph's

expecting something
pretty special.

Yeah. And the two best people
to make that happen

are her parents.

So why don't you come
by the house tonight,

we will make sure that
we are out of your hair

and then you and Lauren can
get to brainstorming

And you only have two days left,
so.

Okay, fine.

I will, I will be there.

- Great, Great.
- Great.

This wall needs something.

Yeah. Yes.

Hey guys, I'm back.

Mom. Dad's here.

So he is.

What do you need, Peter?

Well, your friends reminded me

that we have a birthday
party to plan,

so I thought I could
lend a hand.

[whispers] Yes!

Really?

Where are they?

They went to grab dinner.

Come on, mom.

You and dad always plan

the best birthday parties.

This year shouldn't be
different, right?

Of course not.

All right, uh.

So, Steph,

what about a unicorn
themed party?

My creative team tells me

they are really big right now.

Or we can do a ninja
themed party,

we could have obstacle
courses and prizes.

Ooh, that's pretty good.

Actually. I know what kind of
party I want.

I want an inclusive
gender neutral party

with no stereotypes.

Oh, okay.

Then that will be the party.

- Thanks, dad.
- Oh, you're welcome.

- Me too.
- Thanks, mom.

Can't wait to see what
you guys are gonna plan.

Wow.

Pretty amazing, huh?

It is.

Except now we have to
meet her expectations.

So if you're too busy,

- I could handle it.
- No, I've got time,

and Steph wants us both on this,
so.

Fine.

Okay. Well, the first thing
off the list is

no prince or princesses.

What if we do a costume party?

That way we could have
a mask making station,

that way people could choose

what they wanna be.

- That's great.
- So we have a mask making

station, no gender stereotypes,

and we just need some games.

You know, uh, speaking of games,

you remember that toga
party we had?

You uh, tied a
little toga garter

around your thigh.

[Lauren laughs]

You were the only one
at the party

to come up with that
genius little accessory.

It was an original idea.

And a lot easier to take off

than the one you wore
under your wedding dress.

That's because you were
trying to take it off

with your teeth in front of
the entire wedding party.

Yeah, your dad wasn't
very impressed,

was he?
Nope.

Oh boy.

[Lauren laughs]

[phone buzzing]

Well, I know you got

other things to do and
people to get back to-

Uh yeah. Yeah.

I'm gonna just say
goodbye to Steph.

Peter,

you're gonna be there, right?

The party?

Yeah, of course.

Wouldn't miss it.

[gentle music]

[door opens]

- Hey you.
- Hey.

[Nicole] How was party planning?

Well, thanks to your
shenanigans,

Peter and I are now throwing an

inclusive gender neutral party.

- I like it.
- Yeah, so do I.

And you know what? You're right.

We should be planning
Steph's birthday together.

It's for the greater good.

Yes it is.

I have dinner. I'll take it
into the kitchen.

All right.

What's that?

[Lauren] It's my
social media page

for the gallery.
It already looks

more interesting
than my dating profile

[chuckles]

So,

how was the hot artist today?

He's fine.

But I mean, it could have been

really fine,

but I chickened out.

I'm sorry to disappoint.

Look.

If you're not ready,
that's cool.

So is Peter gonna be at
the party too?

Yeah, he says he'll be there.

And honestly,

he may miss an occasional
parent teacher meeting, but

he's never missed a birthday.

So.

[melancholic music]

Look, I know I don't talk a
lot about my dad leaving,

'cause there's nothing to say.

He left.

That was that.

I never saw him again.

So even though

Peter does put his career first

a lot of the time,

he still shows up when it
really matters.

Now,

what about that dinner?

I'll be right there.

[gentle music]

Whoa.

These have got to be
photoshopped.

[romantic music]

[Lauren laughs]

[children applauding]

Nice.

Oh, good score.

A hundred, we've got fifty,
we've got a hundred.

Russel?

Thank you.

[upbeat music continues]

Well,

Looks like Lauren and Peter

have done it again.
'Cause this party rocks.

[Lauren] We'll see.

Whoa, George.

It's a wonderful use of color.

All right, baby girl.
What you got

Mom, don't look, it's a surprise

Oooh okay. Okay.

Maybe, when you're done,

I'll put it up in my gallery.

Gallery?

Yeah. I'm finally doing it.

Wow. That's amazing.

Congratulations.

Thank you.

Heads up,

Bridget's mom incoming.

Oh boy. Okay.

Interesting party,
Lauren, Peter.

Thank you, Diane.

Uh I have to ask,

are these acrylic paints
all made here?

'Cause I know some of the
foreign brands,

they may not list any
toxic ingredients.

Um, let me-

Let me um, check here.

[sniffs deeply]

Oh ahh.

They're totally fine.

Nothing to fear.

Although,

I would watch out for
the cookies I brought.

They uh,

They came from a box.

A box?

- Oh my gosh.
- Watch for it.

Thank you.

[Laughs]

Look.

[laughing]

All right. You ready?

Okay. What you got?

I think I have the
perfect work of art

for your gallery.

Okay.

Ooh.

What?

You don't think this
could replace a painting

you stole from my office?

Huh?

I didn't think you'd
notice that day.

And for the record,

I only borrowed it.

Mm-hm.

Well, I think that your gallery

is gonna be a huge success.

I mean, it is your passion, so.

Really?

Thought you'd forgotten.

Of course not.

I'm sorry if it seemed that way.

[Lauren] That is still
not going in my gallery.

- [Peter] Oh!
- Well, listen,

despite you trying to
butter me up,

okay,

that will not be in my gallery.

No.

Ouch. Okay.

Just one second.

Oh, shoot.
I forgot I have

a few lights being delivered
there in a couple hours

Hey uh, I can take Steph home
after the party.

No, it's okay. I could ask the
girls to watch her.

No, I know.

But it's my daughter's birthday.

Plus,

I'd like to help out.

All right.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

[Tara] Well, even I gotta admit,

that look had nothing to
do with horses.

Okay.

Whoo! Yes!

Popcorn is ready.

It smells so good.

You know what?
Daddy's pretty hungry.

I might just have this
all to myself.

No?
[knocking on the door]

Oh. It's open.

Hello?

[Steph & Peter] Bah!

[laughing]

Hey guys.

Do a little urban camp out?

Yep. Why don't you come in, mom?

Um, okay.

But we have to go home soon,
okay?

Oh, excuse me.

Actually,

can I stay here and
sleep in the tent?

I said it was okay

only if it's cool with you.

Sure, of course.

Whatever the
birthday girl wants.

Yes. I'm gonna get some supplies

Oh.

So how'd it go with the lights?

Oh wow. They illuminate the
pieces beautifully.

So they'll be amazing

for when the gallery opens,

which is great because
I got at least

a dozen new artists coming,

and some serious collectors.

Okay, well uh,

if you want,

I could get my marketing team

to put some momentum behind it,

you know, get the gallery
trending and all that.

Oh, that'd be great, thank you.

Yeah, no problem.

Actually, I'm going to step out.

It's getting hot in here.

So what about you, how's work?

Uh good.

I'm uh, actually putting
together

proposal for "Cook This."

They're entering the
meal kit space.

Well, actually,

got it right here
if you want to take a look.

Now, you know I'm not your pseud
assistant anymore, right?

Hey, you're not my
pseudo anything.

It's just,

I trust you.

Okay.

Now, you'll uh,

you'll see it has all the
standard points

healthy, budget friendly, easy.

We just need something
to make it stand apart.

Okay. Well, what
if you market it

you know, not just
lunch and dinners,

but different moments,

like dinner parties,

book clubs.
Sunday night football.

Yes, exactly.

You know, just food made easy.

- Right.
- Okay.

What, what's up?

Nothing.

It's just, we always
made a good team.

Still makes me wonder
what happened.

It's like I told you, just

became all about team Peter.

I know but uh,

I never asked you

not to do the things you wanted.

Right. But you stopped asking
what I wanted.

[heartfelt music]

You should have told me
how you felt.

Maybe I should have.

Hey.

Hey.

I've got an extra pillow
if you wanna stay.

It can be like our camping trip.

Oh, baby.

That sounds like a lot of fun.

But I have Nick and
the girls at the house.

Okay? But I promise

I'll pick you up in the morning

with your favorite smoothie.

Hey, excuse me, little lady.

Where's my pillow?

You're too big for the tent,
dad.

Wow. I'm too big.

She's right, you know.

Come here.

Mwah.

Goodnight, bug.

All right.

Goodnight, Peter.

Goodnight. And hey, thank you.

Anytime.

[gentle music]

[gentle music continues]

I didn't wanna confuse Steph

by staying the night.

It's hard enough on her already.

I get that.

But did you want to
stay the night?

I mean, maybe a part of me did.

Doesn't matter anyway,

because Peter's moving on.

But he did offer to
help market the gallery.

That's something, right?

Whoa.

Is that all wine?

It is.

I forgot to cancel
the subscription

that Peter and I have.

When a case came in,

we'd have our own
little wine tasting

with the blindfold
and everything.

You know,

we would be more than happy

to play the wine tasting
game with you tonight,

and I could even get some cheese

to compliment the wine.

You know what?

That is a plan I
cannot say no to.

But first,

I gotta head over to
the gallery,

meet the sign guys.

But I promise I'll be
back in time

for a little cocktail hour.

Well, you will have the
wine breathing.

[Lauren giggles]

Woo! This is gonna be fun.

It is, but not for us.

"Minds Eye," of course,

'Cause art lives in the
imagination of the beholder.

I bought this name 10 years ago

while I was still in college.

Been paying for it
every year since,

waiting for an idea to use it.

10 Years.

Why wait such a long time?

Guess I didn't think
it was my turn.

Then let's make a date,

to celebrate.

Oh, no, you don't
need to do that.

This is a moment to
mark in history,

a new and exciting
chapter in your life.

Here.

Bask in your moment,

and call me.

[romantic music]

[Lauren] Hey guys.

So when you gonna be back?

Because Peter's gonna be
here any second.

Well, we thought it'd be fun

to take Steph out for pizza,

and then she remembered
it's her dad's day.

So if it's cool,

we'll drop her at his
place in say,

a couple hours?

And then we'll do cocktails.

Uh, yeah, yeah.

That'll be great.
I'll let him know.

I'll see guys in a bit.

Great. Bye.

- Yes.
- Yes!

- Amazing.
- Ha ha!

Welcome aboard!

Thank you very much.

So should we have pineapple?

No!

[Nicole] Ew!

[door opens]
[Peter] Hello!

In here.

- Hey.
- Hey.

Steph ready to go?

You know, I was
just texting you,

the girls took her out

and didn't realize that
you were coming,

but they promised to bring
her back to your place

in a couple hours,
if that's okay.

Yeah, of course.
No problem.

Is this all from the
wine subscription?

It is.

I keep forgetting to cancel it.

Let's see.

Well, maybe that's a good thing.

I hear this Barolo is excellent.

Well, maybe we could try
a bottle or two.

I mean, unless you have plans.

No plans.

Corkscrew still in
the same place?

Sure is.

I'm on it.

[upbeat mellow music]

- Hmm.
- Mm-hm.

Okay.

I'm definitely calling
this one a Pinot.

Really? Okay.

I'm gonna say with the
sour cherry flavor,

I'm going with the Beaujolais.

- Ooh, Beaujolais.
- Mh-hm.

- Beaujolais.
- Yup.

All right, let's see.

- Boom.
- Boom.

You're right, okay. Right again.

[Lauren laughing]

Wow, I guess I'm a little
off my game.

I mean, I do have
a bit of an edge

with the girls being here,

I've been priming my
taste buds just a little.

Oh, just a little bit?

Just a-

You know, I've seen you
four in action, right?

- Yes, you have.
- Yes.

You remember that New Year's
where you all met?

Mm-hm.

We made some pretty big
decisions that night.

Any uh...

any regrets from that night?

No.

How could I?

We have Steph.

Yeah.

[gentle music]

You know what?

Wait here.

Where you going?

I'm gonna get you something

that's gonna help your
game a little bit.

- Oh yeah?
- I'll be right back.

- All right.
- [Lauren chuckles]

[gentle music]

[phone beeps]

Oh, where is it?

[Peter scoffs]

C'mon, these gotta be
Photoshopped.

[Lauren] Peter!

I got something that can
give you a little edge.

Oh, you leaving?

Uh...

Yeah.

Sorry, uh...

Something came up

and I really should get
back for Steph.

Yeah, of course.

But I'll make sure

to cancel the wine subscription,
unless you want it?

No. I'm good.

Okay, well, right,

well, enjoy your night.

See you soon.

See you.

[door slams shut]

[heartfelt music]

Hey,

looks like cocktail hour
started early.

Actually, Peter was
here for a bit,

so we did a little tasting.

There's plenty left over
if you guys want.

So, was it kinda like old times?

Yeah actually,

I don't think after a separation

it's a good idea to go there.

Well, I get it.

It's complicated, you know,

like the Meryl Streep movie

where she sleeps with
her ex-husband

and it's really
confusing for her,

but they rekindle a
really beautiful romance.

I actually did see that one,
on a plane,

and she ends up up with
the other guy

she was dating.

Yes, but it could have
gone either way

because her ex-husband
still loved her.

Okay, listen, I see what you're
trying to do there.

But it's okay.

Because in three days

my dreams are gonna be fulfilled

and I'll finally
have my gallery.

Besides, Peter's not
the only one dating now.

Wait, what?

Mh-hm. After Peter left,

I texted Carlos,

so he's gonna take me to
the The Diplomat,

apparently there's a
Gilly exhibit

going on in the lobby.

So this time, Tara,

you'll be living vicariously

through me.

[Tara giggles]

But you're not gonna do anything

too crazy though, right?

I mean, that's one bridge,

once you cross it,

it could change everything.

Everything has changed, Nic.

It's time I moved on.

[upbeat music]

Hey, I heard your proposal
for that meal service

brought down the house
this morning.

Yeah, yeah, it did.

I can't take all the credit.

Lauren was the real
brilliance behind it.

Really?

And how did that go down?

Just like it always did.

Huh.

Sorry.

Oh, Lisa, that's perfect.

What?

I asked Serena to join our team.

We're going for drinks
tonight to discuss it.

So this is just business?

What happened to her

being the perfect match
in other ways?

Yeah, I told you.

I'm just not there.

Too bad.

But at least you're taking one

for the office team.

All right.

By the way,

something's missing in here.

[melancholic music]

[Lauren] I should have
went shopping.

Nothing I have says

"first date with an artist."

Don't worry.

You're gonna look fabulous

in whatever you wear.

Oh, I know.

What about this?

I mean, I wore it on
my European honeymoon.

I mean, it should still fit.

Why am I stressing about this?

[Sydney] Laur,

you don't have to follow
through with this date

if you don't want to.

It took me 10 years to
move on from Byron,

which I get is a long time,

but if I had tried when
I wasn't ready,

then I would've never met Theo,

the man that I should be with.

I know.

I just don't want this
to be the gallery

all over again with
me waiting in the

wings, getting
angrier by the day,

while Peter gets to do
whatever he wants.

Don't worry.

We'll be your backup,

[upbeat music]

[Carlos] Look at this.

It's as if Gilly's
challenging us

daring us to look away,

knowing it is impossible.

[Lauren] Oh, well,
not this piece.

This one has a story

I would love to peel back.

It's beautiful.

Oh God. Isn't
it beautiful?

[romantic music]

[Nicole] Guys, is it just me,

or is he eyeballing
that waitress?

Oh no, he's on it.

Should we intervene?

No, let's wait for her cue.

What do you think
about this one?

I will-I have to...

Carlos?

[indistinct], very
complex flavors

with cherry in your mouth.

- Thank you.
- Very good.

You know I'm beginning to see
what you mean about the whole...

"Love is everywhere."

Oh, there is nothing wrong
with appreciating the beauty

that surrounds us, no?

Right. But just how often
do you appreciate it?

Lauren, as often as I can.

[Lauren chuckles]

Oh.

[gasps] Oh! She's done.

Call her, call her, call her.

My colleague's been
trying to get me

to come here for drinks.

Apparently the single
malt is excellent.

Hey. Hi.

Are you ready to get outta here?

No. No, thank you.

I don't need my eaves cleaned.

What happened?

Uh, I don't know.

[Tara] I do.

Look who just showed up.

[gasps]

Oh my gosh.

Is that the coffee date?

[Carlos] Speechless.

I mean, his use of color, it
makes me want to weep.

[Lauren laughs obnoxiously]

Oh! [laughs]

[continues laughing]

You are so full of life tonight.

[Lauren] Of course I am.

Tonight is a
celebration to "moi."

A celebration.

- To my gallery.
- [glasses clink]

Salut.

[Serena] So I have to say
Peter, I am thrilled

about your job offer,
and a bit disappointed

only 'cause I guess
this means that

us having an official date

is out of the question.

Peter?

[stutters] Yeah, sorry.

What-what were you saying?

Dating, you and I?

Yes. No uh-

Not-not if we're gonna
be working together.

Of course.

Uh, are you okay?

Yeah.

Yeah, I'm just great.

[Carlos] About your gallery.

I would like to ask
if you would display

the sculpture I gave you?

Ooh. Oh, yes, of course.

Especially since you used
these amazing hands.

Oh, really?

[Lauren] Mm-hm.

Well then maybe
you'd like to see

my latest sculpture,

back at my studio later.

"Wunderbar." [chuckles]

I'm just gonna use the
ladies room real quick,

- okay?
- Okay.

- I'll be right back.
- Okay.

[all whispering]

[Lauren] That's her.

That's the one he's been dating.

And now they're here
on another date

when he should be at
home with Steph.

But you're also on a date.

Yeah, and you do look
pretty cozy.

Oh, please.

I'm just doing that to
rub it in Peter's face.

Besides, I am not trying to be
another notch of beauty

for Carlos. Okay?

Oh God. I gotta
get outta here.

I could uh-pull the fire alarm.

No. Oh, you know what?
This is what I'm gonna do.

I'm gonna tell Carlos
that I'd love to go

back to his place,

once we get outside,
I'll ditch him,

and I'll meet you guys at
the house, okay?

- Are you sure?
- Yeah, it's fine.

You guys duck out, I got this.

Uh you know what? Uh-

Do you want another drink?

Um actually, I'm still good.

I'm go-I'm gonna get another.

- Sure.
- I'll be right back.

- Okay.
- [Peter] Okay. [chuckes]

Yeah, uh another scotch, please.

[Lauren] Peter, what
are you doing here?

I thought you were
home with Steph.

Well I had a meeting,
so I uh-I got a sitter.

Meeting. Right.

Anyways, this is Carlos,
a very talented artist.

Carlos, this is my ex, Peter.

Ah. The one who released
this force into the world?

So tell me, Peter, uh

what is your favorite
piece of Gilly?

[stutters] What?

The art? You must
appreciate it, no?

You know, I-I appreciate it.
[stutters] It's Gilly. It's so...

You know what? Hey
we are actually gonna

go check out Carlos' uh...

latest masterpiece...
at his, private studio.

Uh-huh.

So I'll let you get back
to your meeting.

- Shall we?
- Yes.

Buenas noches.

Buenas noches!

Is everything all right?

Yeah, of course. Why
wouldn't it be?

My wife is here

wearing a dress she wore
on our honeymoon,

but now she's wearing it
with some Latin lover.

I thought your profile said
that you were separated?

I'm sorry. This-this
isn't happening.

[Lauren and Carlos chuckling]
I'll get us a taxi.

Uh actually...

Well, Carlos, I'm sorry.

I may have been leading you on,

although I don't think
you're too worried.

But look, either way,

I'm not going with you.

I'm not going to your studio...

[romantic music]

[Carlos speaks Spanish]

Wow.

Never would've pegged him
for your type.

Well, that's funny.

'Cause Serena seems
like she's yours.

She's a new work
colleague, Lauren.

[Lauren] Please.

I saw you two coming
back from your

perfectly matched coffee date.

That was before I decided to
offer her a job and before I...

- Before what?
- [Serena] Peter?

[Peter] Nothing.

I hope you have a good
rest of your night Lauren.

[melancholic music]

[gentle music]

- Hey.
- Hey.

How you doing?

Bit tired. Went back to the
gallery late last night

because I forgot these
artist's contracts.

Yeah, we figured.

[Sydney] Oh.

[Lauren] So, Peter wants
nothing to do with me anymore.

Why? What happened?

Peter caught Carlos kissing me.

[Nicole] Wait, what?

I thought you said you
weren't into him.

I'm not.

He kissed me.

But I'm sure to Peter,

it looked like I was a
willing participant

because I pretty
much said I was. So,

I think this whole
dance is over.

Well, at least
you're showing him

what he's losing.

You know, a woman who's gone
out to get what she wanted.

You're talking about the
gallery, right?

Of course.

I know. But...

As amazing as it is,

it doesn't feel as
great as it should.

Which is why I was the one
who told Peter that New Year's

that I would put my
dreams on hold.

We-we thought you agreed
to tell him what you wanted.

[Lauren] I did.

What I want is to be with him.

If I had stayed and
opened that gallery

and just let him go,

my dreams wouldn't have
been fulfilled.

Because Peter was the
man of my dreams.

He is the man of my dreams.

So how could they come
true if he's not in them?

That's so beautiful.

Yeah. Well it looks like I
realised that a little too late.

No. No, you haven't.

That's right.

You can't give up.

- The kiss with Carlos?
- Mm.

In the famous words
of Ross Geller,

"You were on a break."

Since when did you start
quoting TV shows?

Who cares? She's right.

You didn't even want that kiss.

No, you did not.

So you don't think I
crossed the bridge?

You can so walk yourself
back from that.

Because you haven't done
anything wrong.

No, I didn't. Did I?

Nope. Not a thing.

[all chuckle softly]

So, today,

we're gonna get outta your way,
but when Peter drops off Steph,

what are you gonna do?

I'm gonna tell him, I wanna
give us another chance.

Yes, you are.

- [laughing]
- Thanks, guys.

[heartfelt music]

Steph, we gotta get going!

[heartfelt music continues]

Hey, bug.

- [Stephanie] Hey mom.
- [Lauren] What's going on?

I need to change

'cause Bridget invited me
over for a swim.

Okay, go ahead.

- Hey.
- Hey.

We ran into them on
the way here.

I hope that's okay.

Oh, that's okay. We don't
have anything planned so.

Well uh, here's your stuff.

And uh...

these are for you.

You didn't have to
give these back.

Yeah, actually I do.

This is yours and
Steph's house now,

not mine.

Good luck with everything,
Lauren.

See ya.

[Lauren whispers] Peter.

[Sydney] What?

[music fades]

[sighs] It's over, ladies.

[Nicole] What?

- No.
- Nic, stop.

Look, I know since you got here
you're looking for all the signs

that he wanted to
work it out. Well...

I got a sign. It's done.

[melancholic music]

[melancholic music]

[gentle music]

Hey. Big day.

Sure is.

Why don't you and I go
for a quick 2k?

Get all those feel-good
endorphins going?

I think I'm okay.

Seriously guys, I'm fine.

Look, this has all been
one "grand voyage,"

One that's taught me to
never give up on my dreams

for anyone, or anything.

So on that note,

I just wanna make sure

that tonight's opening
is a success.

Hey, you are the hostess
with the mostess.

And I've got the
hors-d'oeuvres covered.

And the gallery is perfectly
unpretentiously chic.

You've even got entertainment.
[laughing]

Honestly, I don't know where
I'd be without you guys.

Making parent approved
cupcakes for bake sales.

Oh, I'll never do that.

- [all laughing]
- That a girl.

Now go. We got
Steph covered.

And we'll meet you at the party.

Hey, thanks guys.

All right. Bye.

[hopeful music]

She is so not okay.

Not even a little bit.

Is my mom here?

I wanna show her the
painting I was working on,

the one from my birthday.

Oh um, she's busy getting
ready for the opening,

but can we see it?

Sure.

Wow.

That's really good.

So good that it should be

at the gallery opening tonight.

Really?

[Nic] Really.

Because we are not giving up.

[upbeat music]

- [background chatter]
- [Tara singing]

[Lauren] I love this artist,
one of my favorites.

So this is a local
autistic artist

who uses textures to
really express himself.

It's incredible.

I'll let you enjoy.

[upbeat music]

What exactly is this?

I don't know,

but it did get sold.

So art is clearly in
the eye of the beholder.

[Sydney laughs]

My gosh.

It's Peter.

I'll be right back.

Peter.

You came.

So this is the vision.

Yeah, this is it.

It's incredible, really.

Even for a guy who
doesn't "get art,"

I can see what you've
done, it's special.

No, you know what?
I think you actually do get it.

Oh, yeah?

Okay, maybe just a little bit.

- Just a tad. Yeah.
- Oh yeah.

I'm glad you came.

Well, your friends called

and told me I
wouldn't want to miss

Stephanie's art unveiling.

Steph?

[Nicole] Hi everyone.

Can I get your attention please?

Before I hand this off,

I'd like you to give it up

for your host,

Lauren Sanders.

- [everyone applauds]
- Thank you.

And now, I want
you to give it up

for a very special
artist who is here

and has a few words
she'd like to say.

[everyone applauds]

I just wanna say how
proud I am of my mom.

She always knows how to
see what's beautiful,

even if it's hard to imagine.

So I hope she sees
what's beautiful

in this painting I drew

when my mom and dad

threw the best party ever.

I named it "My Family."

[heartfelt music]

- [everyone applauds]
- Aww.

It's beautiful.

Oh, thank you.

It's beautiful, sweetie.

Thanks, dad.

[Peter] It's so good.

You know what? I uh-

I should get going.

Congratulations, Lauren.

[melancholic music]

No, you know what?
Not again.

Peter.

Look,

I know how it looked like
the other night,

but it's not what I wanted.

It's not what I ever wanted,

because all I really want...

[romantic music]

I don't care about any of that.

I only care about
having my wife back.

And if you will take me,

I promise I will never

stop asking what you want,

because you the most
incredible woman

who I have ever met.

And I'm only the best
I can be because of you.

So I will be better.

I'll even take an art class,

- [laughing]
- or a sculpture class.

You don't
need that. Look,

I don't care if you
don't know who Gilly is,

because you get me, Peter.

All of this wouldn't be
anything without you.

I love you, Lauren Sanders.

- I love you, Peter Bishop.
