- I was single, again.

- Heartbroken. Ready to just give up.

- Me too, until I found Data Mate.

I know it's the best dating app because I work here.

My team brainstorms the thousands of questions

on our app's rigorous surveys.

Our engineers constantly update our algorithm

to capture your digital heartbeat,

all to find our users love, and that includes me.

- [Announcer] Data Mate, because information

will lead to the mate that you need.

Download the app now.

(crowd applauds)

- Woo! Yes!

Now, that is fire! - Very good.

- And, Vivi, oh, Vivi.

Come on! Way to use your passion, huh?

Now, how long have you and, uh-

- Kenny been together?

A year and a half.

- OMG.

You're gonna be married by your next birthday. Life goal.

- Yeah. Don't jinx it.

- What if I'm manifesting it?

- Oh.

- And this is why Data Mate innovates how we find love,

because everybody deserves to feel

the way that our Vivi feels. (crowd applauds)

- Thank you, Adam.

You know, I swear,

after the boy who lived next door and the guy from college

and the blind dates and the friends of friends, I-

- [Coworker] Vivi.

- Right.

I'm just saying I finally found my person!

- Woo! (crowd applauds)

You see?

Now, this is why we just hit 20 million users.

Mm! Great job, everybody!

And this is also why

we are coming back here tonight to celebrate.

Oh! Good job!

(crowd applauds) (Vivi laughs)

- Thank you.

(phone ringing)

Oh.

- Oh.

- Oh.

Hi, Mom. Hi, Dad.

How are you?

- Hi, honey.

When are you getting ready for your big party with Kenny?

- I'm going home to change now.

I'm excited, Mom.

- You know, if your boss

really wanted to celebrate the company's success,

instead of spending money on a fancy shindig,

he would give you all bonuses.

You can tell him I said that.

- Please, Walter.

You just hate any event

where you have to tuck in your shirt.

Vivi should have fun.

- Here we go.

- Oh, because we had so much fun

at that holiday dinner at the lodge.

We got all dressed up and paid all that money,

and for what, Janice?

A couple of rubbery steaks.

- It was 1998. Let it go.

- Mom, Dad just cares that I'm appreciated at work.

Dad, Mom just wants to make sure that I'm not all work

and can enjoy the finer things in life.

You both want what's best from me.

Love you. Bye.

(Vivi sighs)

- You good?

- I'm great.

No one can ruin today.

- That's right.

- Okay. I'll see you later.

- Yeah.

(peaceful music)

(car horn blares) - Oh!

- [Stranger] Ow.

- Oh no. I am so, so sorry.

Are you okay?

- Yeah, I think so,

but that might be the concussion speaking.

(both chuckle)

- Thanks.

- Yeah.

- What?

- You were right next to the fountain.

You could have just dropped the coin in.

- It's kind of the ideal launching spot.

- Yeah, that data is great,

but do all the wishes you ever make come true?

- Well, not necessarily.

- Then why not toss it from over here or over there?

You know, be spontaneous.

If you want different results,

you gotta try something different.

- Thanks for the generous advice.

- So what are you wishing for anyway?

Come on. You owe me for the giant lump on my head.

- Fine.

Well, I used to wish to find love,

and now that I have it, I wish to optimize it.

(stranger softly chuckles)

- Oh, you're serious.

I'm sorry. It's just, find love and optimize it?

That sounds like a robot on Valentine's Day.

- Or like me with my boyfriend.

- Ah. My apologies.

You know, for some folks,

an aggressive stance towards love pays off.

I've seen it so many times and I'm happy for them.

- So, if my perspective is so funny, what's yours?

- I don't chase life. I let it come to me.

(Vivi chuckles)

- Okay. It's not Postmates.

(coin clinks)

(stranger clapping)

- I hope your wish comes true.

- [Vivi] Yeah.

(crowd chattering) (peaceful jazz music)

- I'll grab us drinks.

- I'll miss you.

(phone dings)

(Vivi gasps)

Oh, Kenny, your boss is texting.

Oh.

(crowd chattering)

Thanks.

- Whoa. What gives?

- Mr. Highland.

He just texted.

- I'm sorry.

I was gonna end things.

I just didn't want you to come to this party without a date.

- Please, if you cared, you would've said something.

You wouldn't have cheated.

- Okay. We still had our good moments, right?

- Then why did you cheat?

- I don't know.

I guess constantly being reminded about

all the ways we're far from what your app says

a successful couple should look like and sound like.

Oh, and those magazine quizzes you love,

which say we're falling short in one way or another.

(Vivi chuckles)

- Is anything ever your fault?

- You looked at a message you thought was from my boss. Why?

- No.

You do not get to make yourself the victim.

I wanted love

with someone who wanted it too

and who was willing to put in the work

so that we could have

the relationship that we dreamed about,

and I still do want that,

but not with you.

(solemn music)

(Vivi scoffs)

That was our one-year anniversary in Hawaii

and this is my birthday.

Whatever.

- Come on. That's enough.

Look, we've got the three post-breakup Rs.

Red, reality, and ripping to shreds.

You are gonna be all right.

- I couldn't see what was right in front of me for so long.

I think I just need to stay here for a little while.

I am taking all of my sick days.

(gentle music)

(lively music)

(lively music continues)

Oh! - Oh, welcome back!

- Ooh!

Is it weird that I'm nervous to go back upstairs?

- Oh, don't be. It's been two months, okay?

No one even remembers the whole you and Kenny thing.

Okay, so maybe some people

might vaguely recall something, but-

- It's fine.

What really matters is that I used Data Mate the right way.

It should have worked, but it didn't, and I wanna know why.

- Then let's check with the analytics team.

They're so nerdy,

they make us engineers seem borderline cool.

(both chuckle)

- [Vivi] Hey, Dom. How's it going?

- Vivi, I'm so sorry.

- Thanks.

Actually, I've been pondering a question for weeks.

How did Data Mate go wrong for me?

- Oh, it's not just you.

(somber music)

From how often previous users rejoin the app,

success rate of a relationship of a year is roughly 20%.

- That's it?

How?

Is it a flaw in the algorithm,

or is it the questions my team creates?

- Our app makes hundreds of millions of dollars a year.

I don't think anyone would consider it flawed.

- Okay. Thanks, Dom.

I thought I could conquer love.

Data Mate gave me hope and then it failed,

'cause that's what it does.

- There are other ways to meet guys.

- What is the point, Nila?

I have tried everything.

I just wanted love, to build a great relationship,

and maybe even a family one day.

At this point, forget being married by my next birthday.

Now, it is about not dying alone.

Oh, is this why people get cats?

- Okay. I know what you need.

Some hedonistic housewives hating.

- Change the channel. I will literally watch anything else.

- [Narrator] One of the world's greatest matchmakers,

Raina Kumar.

- What show is this? It's all so beautiful.

- [Narrator] Utilizing Indian traditions

from over thousands of years,

Raina finds her clients happiness.

- My methods are a bit ancient in some ways,

even in India, yet modern in others,

but I believe in the purpose behind each facet,

which is why 95% of my clients enjoy lifelong relationships.

- [Both] Oh.

- If that number's real, she's it.

Raina Kumar is how we improve Data Mate

so it actually finds people love!

- But would she be interested?

(gentle music)

- Let's find out.

- [Raina] Thank you.

- Oh!

- Ms. Kumar, so glad you could make it. I'm Vivi.

- And I'm a huge fan named Nila.

- Oh, please, call me Raina.

- Here's chai.

I have watched your show nonstop the last week,

and I learned just how you like it.

- Oh, I'm flattered and perhaps a little concerned.

(group chuckles)

I read the materials your company sent me,

but, to be frank, I'm not sure how I could help.

- Well, from your show,

I know your matchmaking tradition is by Indians for Indians,

but we will pay generously

for you to consult with us for three months.

We'd like an inside look at your process.

Then, we would digitize it,

create analogous inputs for our algorithm,

and evaluate success via analytics.

- I don't know those words.

What I know are biodata, rashi, and guna.

- And I don't know those words.

- Thank you. Sorry I'm late.

- Oh, meet my son, Bhumesh.

Bhumesh, this is Nila and Vivi.

- Please, call me Boom.

- Hi.

- And Vivi and I already met.

How are things with the boyfriend?

- Ex-boyfriend.

- Oh, I guess we didn't optimize love after all.

(Vivi nervously chuckles)

- How is he involved in all of this?

- Oh, Bhumesh runs the business.

He has an MBA from Wharton.

- Classic Indian mom moment.

- Raina, I know you have a successful show,

but dating apps are only growing worldwide.

Has it affected your business at all?

- We're already starting to plateau.

There's a real merit to us

getting in with an app on our term before it's too late.

It's like I keep saying, Mom.

we have to make our matchmaking traditions

more accessible to today's users.

Respect the past, but eyes toward the future.

- We want to find our singles love just like you.

If you work with us, Raina,

our service will get better and you'll get on users' radars.

Our clientele use multiple apps.

- Oh. - Say you develop one.

- Which I've been advocating for.

- You'd be among our users go-tos. It's a win-win.

- Thank you, Vivi, but I cannot reduce my matchmaking

to zeros and ones for Data Mate.

It has to be experienced,

and if that means that, one day,

we have to close our doors, so be it.

I cannot short change the process.

Thank you.

- Wait.

What if I hire someone

to go through your matchmaking process from start to finish

like any other client?

- Mom, the process would get its due,

and Data Mate can make

meaningful and informed changes to their app,

and if they improve, then we take all the credit.

This can set us up beautifully for the future.

- The person we choose to go through my matchmaking process

must want a life partner now.

- Of course. I can't be the only one.

- Someone who respects our culture.

- It's not a fad. It's a tradition.

- I've taught her well.

- And they should have

an open mind and heart about matchmaking.

- Agreed.

If they are like me, they will try anything that can work.

So, can I find a test user?

- I already have.

- Me?

- That could work.

This could be the start of us tapping a whole new market,

our matchmaking for non-Indians.

- Most importantly, we'll bring more love to more people,

starting with Vivi.

- I want love,

but I don't know.

- Okay, we'll prepare you, then you decide.

- "We'll"?

- We'll.

I'm also a client concierge.

I'll be with you every step of the way.

We're gonna have so much fun.

- Yeah.

- You wouldn't apply for a job without a proper resume.

Biodata is like that for marriage.

- Some biodatas ask for

physical characteristics or things like caste,

but we're more modern.

- Actually, I took a couple swings.

- [Raina] Ooh!

- Your GPA, your credit score,

and your last work performance review?

- It was stellar.

- This is only what you've done.

- Oh, the next one is my fun one.

- "Five things I would take if I were stuck on the moon."

- Does she think she's an astronaut or Elon Musk?

- But that was in my favorite dating column.

- We'll just save these for later.

- Vivi, this process has to be personal.

You gotta write about you, the things that make you tick,

how a potential partner would view you.

- I have to think about it.

- While you're thinking,

be sure to add any core expectations for a marriage.

Dynamic, communication, children.

- Wait, you want me to talk about kids now?

- [Raina] Of course.

(Vivi sighs)

- Boom,

how would you fill yours out?

- Uh, uh, uh. I don't have a biodata.

- Hello, client concierge.

- Fine.

I'd say I'm mature, preferring to think through life.

- You mean too cool for school?

But I'm a total go-getter.

- So you think I'm cool, huh?

- Keep going.

- A partner could view me as reliable, dedicated to us.

- But I make even the mundane memorable.

- Oh, your biodatas certainly were.

- Okay. What about for a partnership?

- We would have to be a team of equals,

and for every rough interaction we have as a couple-

- There should be five good ones, like the Gottmans say.

- That's how it was for my folks.

- Sounds really nice.

- Finish later.

She's reading your palm for your traits and love destiny.

It's an old tradition not everyone does.

- But you seem so pragmatic.

- And, pragmatically speaking,

every relationship requires a little luck.

This might nudge us in the right direction.

- She will find a deep, lasting love,

and it will come through

a mother-like figure that she trusts.

- Meaning I am going to fall in love with a guy

through Raina, and that means I can fix Data Mate too!

- Okay, slow down there, turbo.

First, you have to be honest at all times.

Second, you have to give each guy a fair chance,

because chemistry isn't always instant.

- Sometimes it is.

- But no hanky-panky, hm?

And, remember, finding a winning relationship

goes beyond statistics and surveys.

Are you willing to see things in a new way?

- Yes. Raina, match me, please.

(Raina chuckles)

- [Raina] Okay.

(group chuckles)

- Data Mate's famous for our red flag ratings.

Users love deal-breakers.

- "Do they wear white socks outside of the gym?"

This is my karma from a past life.

- I think what mom means is that

none of this gauges a relationship's potential.

- Focus on practical matters

you must find out from a potential partner early on

and know for yourself.

- Practical matters like what?

- What kind of luxuries do you want in life?

What's your view on finances?

What mix of togetherness,

going out socially as a couple and alone time do you need?

- Hm.

- I guess I always just assumed that,

once I had the right partner,

these things would just work themselves out.

- Or maybe determining the answers to these questions

is how you find the right partner.

(Vivi softly chuckles)

- Welcome.

Seeing how you live

tells me things about you that you may not realize.

- Oh. Make yourself at home.

- Here's one successful relationship.

Is your place being used as a cold storage?

- You wish you could optimize space like me.

- Vivi, do you remember that talk we had when we first met

about how, if you want something different,

then you need to do something different, like adding color?

- No. What does that have to do with matching me?

- If you can't try something different in your own home,

how are you gonna do it in romance?

- I really don't like when you make good points.

Fine. You can do anything you like.

You can even look in my closet.

- [Boom] Why were these buried in the closet?

- I don't know.

They're from a long time ago and they don't quite fit.

- [Boom] Wanna try one?

- Sure.

(gentle music)

- Tell me about your dating history.

- Does that really matter?

- No, not at all,

as long as you're okay making the same mistakes.

- Okay. Well, my first boyfriend was in high school.

Billy, the neighbor's son.

He was actually really sweet,

and then I realized he had me doing all of his homework.

- Hah! That's rough.

- Don't you have something to fix?

- [Boom] Yeah, if you'll help me move some furniture.

- Okay. This is me being spontaneous and open-minded.

- Your condo is ready for your new journey to better.

- You know, you're really good at this.

- Was that a compliment?

- Just for that,

it is your turn to talk about your past relationships.

- Don't say relationships.

It's been so long since you brought a girl to see me.

- Classic Indian mom moment.

- These bachelorettes are open to meeting Bhumesh.

You can swipe.

- This is where the line blurs between matchmaker and mom.

- Whoa!

They're beautiful.

- And smart and successful and total winners, all of them.

I'm just not in a place for it.

I have to keep the family business afloat, don't I?

- Oh, is this when the kids say "whatever"?

- Moving on.

Vivi, there's just one more thing we need.

Family background.

- Ah. How was growing up with your parents?

- Uh.

- Actually, we'll just ask them when we meet.

- Great.

(Raina speaks in foreign language)

- Now?

- [Raina] Of course. Let's go.

- Coming.

(Vivi sighs) (gentle music)

- Anyway, we love that you are matching Vivi,

but what has that got to do with us?

- Oh, it's not only Vivi getting married.

- Huh? Come again?

- You two and your relationship with Vivi will be affected.

Finding the right partner is about you as well.

- Can you tell us how things were from her childhood to now?

- Oh.

- So good.

My parents were so present

and I always knew they were around

and that really sums it up.

- Aw. She's such a great daughter.

Big heart. Hard worker.

Never got in trouble.

- Walter, are you okay?

- Oh, it's my back.

It only likes my recliner.

Oh, it's hidden in the closet.

- Because we have company and it's an eyesore.

- You see, when people come over,

Janice wants the place to look like

no one actually lives here.

- Oh, no. - Guys!

I appreciate you both

trying to make the place welcoming for Raina and Boom.

- Such zesty people.

(group laughs)

- Why don't we switch gears?

What would you like in a son-in-law?

- Let's add a field for users to specifically say

why they'd make a good partner for someone else

and for users to answer

why previous relationships didn't work out.

- Spicy.

Oh, and maybe we change the input around red flags?

- So we're adding new questions?

- We're just updating inputs,

keeping things fresh with the new questions.

- Yeah, for the users that don't care about it.

- Okay, but maybe these are questions

they should care about.

You approved hiring Raina.

- Hey, hey, I approved briefly consulting with Raina.

That was really just a PR push for the bottom line.

- Well, these questions stem from

what I'm learning with her.

I think they'll significantly increase our user success rate

and more user success means word of mouth and more profit.

- Okay, but you have a short leash,

especially if I'm not gonna see results.

- You got it.

(exciting music) (team shouting)

(exciting music continues) (Boom grunts)

(team cheers)

- [Boom] Yeah!

Nice job.

Good stuff, good stuff. Nice.

Hey!

- [Vivi] Hey.

- What are you doing over here?

- I went a new way and it led me here.

(Boom chuckles)

So you're a soccer champion?

- Oh, hardly, no, no.

I come to the park every week

and just see what piques my interest.

Sometimes, it's archery. Other times, it's cricket.

Today, they just needed an extra player,

and it was a game to raise funds for foster kids.

I mean, I couldn't say no to that.

- That's really admirable, Boom, and very impromptu.

- And you never would've seen it,

except you took a different route.

- Oh no. Are you rubbing off on me?

- You want an autograph, don't you?

Guys, she wants my autograph.

- Calm down. I am taking baby steps.

(Boom chuckles)

- You'll be taking much bigger steps than that.

You'll see soon enough. Anyway, ta-ta.

- Bye.

Wait, bigger steps?

Come. Come.

- Is this really necessary?

- If your families don't match,

your relationship will be a battle every day.

- Why are you being like this?

I'm telling you.

Your sister never apologized for calling me a yokel.

- Yes, she did.

- Paul, you are so well-mannered.

- Oh, being courteous was drilled into me as a child.

- You know, my friends think I'm crazy for doing this,

but I think I'd be crazy not to.

- So that's what I've spent the last few years

doing at Data Mate.

- You've been diving into the data of love,

not treating it like magic.

- Exactly. I don't want dating to rely so much on luck.

Tell me about your love languages.

English and first-year German.

- Uh.

(upbeat music)

- Okay, let me balance things out.

Here's a strength of yours. You're great at deflecting.

- Oh, better than being the guy whose literal job is

to find people commitment while refusing it himself.

- So much of a good relationship

is treating each other well in the small moments, so.

Oops!

May I have a napkin, please?

- Yeah.

Walter!

- What?

- Thank you so much.

- You can tell me about your Enneagram.

- Enneagram?

- You know what's worked for a few years longer

than relationship pop psychology?

Getting to know someone.

Show your human side.

My life at the hedge fund is algorithms, data,

pattern recognition, predictive models.

- Wow. That is music to my ears.

- You know, there's this feeling I get

when I'm out in nature,

like when I'm gazing out at the ocean

or taking in a view from the mountaintop.

I get these butterflies in my stomach

and my heart starts to race.

Somehow, I'm so at peace.

I know, it sounds cheesy, but-

- No, not at all.

- I want that with another person.

- I understand.

My forehead gets warm when I see that special someone.

(Vivi awkwardly chuckles) (upbeat music)

- [Raina] So, it's been a full three days.

Who stood out?

- Well, I mean, Tristan.

(group chuckles)

And Paul and Leonard, I like the dynamic.

- Wonderful.

Bhumesh and I will take care of setting up the dates,

but you've done very well.

Let's celebrate.

Come to my home for a traditional Indian dinner.

- I wouldn't want to impose.

- Bhumesh, you don't mind, do you?

- Uh, no, no, no, not at all.

- Thank you.

(peaceful music)

(Raina singing in foreign language)

(peaceful music continues)

- I didn't realize Dad's been gone so long.

- You would know if you visited

Dad's side of the family in India since he passed.

You won't even step foot into the pooja room since.

- In our culture,

it is parents' duty to see their children settled.

Pratik did not get the chance,

but it was his last wish to see you married.

It's my wish for you too.

- Because it's tradition?

- No, because it's what will make you truly happy.

It worries me that all you do is date superficially.

The boy we raised is deeper than that, no?

Is there something you don't like about

the women I tried to connect you with?

You've dated Indian women before.

- Of course I have, and non-Indian women too.

That's not it at all.

- Then what? - Okay.

What are you afraid of?

(junk clatters)

Vivi must be here.

Vivi!

- [Vivi] Hi!

- [Raina] Oh, leave it, leave it. No problem.

- Sorry. The door was open, I-

- [Raina] Of course it was open, for you.

Leave it, leave it, leave it.

- Are you sure?

- Come. - Okay.

- Hi.

- [Raina] Hi.

(gentle music)

- [Vivi] Mm, Raina, that aroma, I am drooling.

- It's korma. It was Pratik's favorite.

- Please, let me.

- No recipe required.

(Raina and Vivi chuckle)

- Thank you. - You're welcome.

(Vivi sighs)

- Bhum's a good son.

- He's okay.

(Vivi and Boom chuckle)

- You think he can handle that korma though?

- Well, the best dishes are more than

just a list of ingredients and instructions.

- [Vivi] Hm.

- What also matters is the freshness of the spices,

the interplay of pan and flame,

and, of course, the cook's own skill.

(Vivi chuckles)

- [Boom] Subtle, Mom.

- Metaphors are always on the menu.

(Vivi and Raina chuckle)

- Raina, tell me.

Were you and Pratik more than just ingredients?

- Oh, yes. (gentle music)

Actually, we met through my family's matchmaker.

Arranged marriages come in all types,

but, to me, what I do, matchmaking, is more than that.

- How so?

- Well, it's a marriage

considered with immense care for the families,

but love between pride and groom is the priority.

- [Vivi] Hm.

- Like with me and Pratik.

You know, we came to this country

to build a life and a family,

leaving behind everything from India except each other.

(Raina and Vivi chuckle)

We didn't have any money, but Pratik would always rent

the latest Bollywood films for us to watch,

and he would sing all of our favorite songs to me

and make me chai every morning.

(Raina chuckles) (gentle music)

- I know you both must have loved each other very much.

That's what I want from all of this.

- We will find it.

- I hope so.

(Raina chuckles)

- Dinner is served.

- Mm. This is beyond delicious.

- You know, Priya and Amit's engagement ceremony

is almost here.

- They're a great couple Mom matched.

- Hm.

- Join us.

It's been so long since you attended a client's event.

- I'd love to, Mom,

but I just snagged tickets to our concert that same night.

Gotta seize the moment.

- Sure. Okay, son.

- Ah! Mom!

Actually, I'll think about it

in case the concert gets canceled.

(Raina chuckles)

(Vivi chuckles)

Vivi, if the food's too hot, you can eat some yogurt.

No need to be a hero.

- Oh, I'm good. Thanks.

- Oh. How'd you get into spicy food?

- From traveling, mostly.

- What? I love traveling.

Columbia.

- That's on my list.

The last few places I went were Mexico, Ghana, Indonesia.

- Did you love the sambal there?

- Oh, every kind. Tell me you went to Bali.

- Like you have to ask. Did you try all the local produce?

- Is there any better reason for traveling?

- If you included this kind of stuff in your dating profile,

the stuff that you love, the stuff that makes you you,

you would've found the right guy a long time ago.

- Oh. I hope I still can.

- You will. This is a nice side of you.

- Hm. At least one of us has a nice side.

(Boom chuckles)

Okay, not bad!

(Boom laughs)

- I'm sorry. Were you trying?

- Uh-huh! Keep telling yourself that!

Oh my gosh.

- Hey, about this weekend.

I'm gonna find something fun and light

so you can get to know these guys,

but, pretty much, you're gonna have two hours each

with Leonard, Tristan, and Paul.

- Okay, three dates in one day?

- [Boom] Mhm.

- Is that normal?

- Nope, but neither is

having a tech company anxiously awaiting the results.

- [Father] Yeah, try that one. Great.

- [Vivi] Thinking of taking a dip?

- No. it just reminds me of this time when I was a kid.

I got it in my head

that fishing was the ultimate father and son activity,

so I bugged my dad until he finally took me.

Now, keep in mind he was from a city in India

that was nowhere near the ocean.

(Vivi chuckles)

But my dad and I,

we were on this tiny boat on the water for hours

before we realized that we were terrible at fishing.

(Vivi and Boom chuckle)

But he must have seen it coming,

because he brought a deck of cards and we played Go Fish

right there on the boat instead.

It's the only way I caught something.

- You had a really special dad.

- Yeah. You two would've gotten along.

(gentle music)

- Race you back.

- [Boom] Whoa, okay.

(Boom laughs)

- Let's go!

- [Boom] I'm so gonna win this!

- [Vivi] No, you are not!

- [Boom] We got a long run back!

- Ultimately, the best relationship would create harmony

for me, my partner, and the people in our lives.

- Uh, oh. This isn't the restaurant.

- [Walter] It looks like a medical building.

- Our reservations are in an hour.

In the meantime, I booked you guys for marriage counseling.

- You tricked us.

- Where did you learn this behavior?

- Dad, Mom, I want you to have

a great relationship the same way I'm going to.

Don't you deserve that? We could be one big happy family.

- [Jen] Sure, but-

- And I prepaid for 10 sessions.

- 10?

- [Walter] Oh.

- You know what therapists cost?

Money doesn't grow on trees.

- I'm appalled you'd use my line against me.

(Vivi chuckles)

(crowd applauds)

- All right.

Next up, we have, ah, Vivi, Nila!

Tell me how that trial's going

with Raina Kumar modifications.

Tell me. Tell me.

- Well, for users engaging with the new criteria,

the success rate is up to 31% and climbing.

- Ooh, 31%.

Now, can anybody give me a dollar figure to that, please?

(gentle music)

Thank you.

Double digit millions in increased revenue already.

Very nice!

Woo! (crowd applauding)

- I am so happy you feel that way,

because I have some more ideas

to make Data Mate a little more personal.

Maybe face-to-face coaching or in-person intros.

- Hey, okay, so now,

do you know why dating apps are so popular, huh?

Because people wanna meet people without meeting people.

Hm? Am I right?

- [Audience Member] That's true, yeah.

- What about some different prompts?

Maybe "what is your parents' relationship like?"

- Ooh.

- Based on what we've done so far,

that should increase user engagement.

- Which our advertisers will love!

Yes! (crowd applauding)

- It's cute and classy.

- What about fun and sexy?

- Those are nice goals.

- It has to be comfy if I'm gonna make it through

all three of these second dates.

(doorbell rings)

That's Boom. I have to get changed.

- Oh, someone just got adorably anxious.

- Lies!

- Hey, Nila. Vivi ready?

- Finishing touches.

- Vivi, we're on a tight schedule!

Plus I just double-parked out outside. We gotta go.

(door creaks) (upbeat music)

- How do I look?

- Late.

- Go. Have fun.

I'll lock up,

after I've binged all your streaming subscriptions.

- Nila!

Okay. Are you ready?

(lively music)

(Vivi squeals)

(Vivi chuckles)

Excuse me, sir.

May I help you?

- No. Thank you.

(Vivi groans)

(boyfriend chuckles)

- Excuse me just a sec. Just...

(crowd chattering) (games beeping)

(crowd continues chattering)

- Hi. (Nila chuckles)

- [Nila] Hi.

- How are you?

- Good. Okay, don't be mad.

See, back in the day in India,

potential couples would have

group excursions or chaperoned outings.

- Wait. Raina put you up to this?

Does she not think that I'm responsible a adult?

- Oh, no, this isn't about that.

This is about

other people's interpretations of your relationship.

See, 'cause when you're in it,

you can be blinded by attraction,

but people on the outside

might be able to see the bigger picture.

On the plus side, so far, so good.

(Nila chuckles)

- This is our little fluffy Bubbles.

- Oh!

When did you rescue her?

- About five years ago. My friend couldn't keep her.

She comes from a line of show dogs.

Fit right in with the whole family.

- My folks could never handle a dog.

- They've got enough to deal with.

- Meaning?

- Oh, just that they're lucky

you turned out as well as you did, given their tendencies.

- Wow. So much for your manners.

I mean, how can you think so little of my folks?

They raised me.

- Was what I saw an exception?

My mom and dad taught me

what you project to the outside world comes back to you.

That's why being, well, socially refined

is good for our image and is good for us.

- Yeah. Some people don't care about image.

- I noticed.

- Thanks for your time, Paul.

It was nice getting to know you.

- I'm sure it was.

(classical music) (crowd chattering)

(classical music continues)

- You're Raina's last spy?

- I prefer caring observer.

I'm sorry. That was rough.

- You know, I thought that I had accepted my parents,

but, somehow, Paul struck a nerve.

- Hm.

Well, if you organize and store your emotions

like you do your belongings,

maybe you buried how you feel so far down

that you can't find it.

Could even be from years ago.

- Like childhood?

- Okay. You wanna tell me about that?

- I mean, I don't have many fond childhood family memories

like other people.

Maybe that is in part because of my folks,

but I can't just write them off.

- I respect that and that's my culture too.

We may not agree with everything our parents do,

but we still care for them.

- Even when they sometimes drive you crazy.

- Only sometimes?

(Boom laughs)

You're doing great.

- I need another pick-me-up.

- Actually, I have a better idea.

(gentle music) (crowd chattering)

- Vivi, welcome to Priya and Amit's engagement.

- Bhumesh, you came.

And with Vivi, no less.

I take it your concert was canceled?

- Yeah, something like that.

- Raina, you probably wanna hear how my dates went.

- Actually, I already know.

(Raina chuckles)

Oh, what's this for?

- For caring.

You really put into focus

how Data Mate sorely lacks a human touch.

- Oh, Vivi, I'm only human touch.

(Vivi chuckles)

Go. Sit.

- [Boom] Vivi, shall we?

Here. Let me.

- Oh, thanks.

Hi. Hi.

Hi. - Hi.

- So, what do the lamps symbolize?

- Oh, so much. Dispelling evil with good.

Spreading joy and prosperity.

Burning off our worst impulses with our best selves.

We light lamps for almost all Hindu ceremonies.

- Hm. I love that.

What's your favorite meaning?

- It's actually when

lighting lamps is wisdom overcoming our ignorance.

- So, you need all the lamps. - Not enough lamps for you?

(Vivi and Boom laugh)

(peaceful music)

Yeah, surprisingly, Priya and Amit's engagement

was super easy to put together.

- You did not put this whole thing together.

- I mean, we had a big hand in it.

- Yeah. Oh, thank you.

- Thank you so much.

This is jalebi. It's an Indian sweet.

- Sounds excellent.

I can use my fingers?

- Yeah, yeah, yeah.

- Mm.

- It's so good. It's so good.

- So sweet.

- This is the bride's mom doing the Aarti,

kind of like an opening prayer.

- It's so beautiful.

- This is a tradition in some parts of India.

It's called the Roka.

It's related to the word "stop,"

because the bride and groom don't need to keep looking.

They found each other.

(lively music)

- Roka.

- [Boom] And now relatives give gifts

to welcome the bride and groom into their family,

because, like we talked about before,

a marriage isn't just between two people.

- It's the whole family.

- Mhm.

This is the formal engagement, the Sagai.

(bright music)

- It's so special.

(bright music)

(bright music continues)

(crowd applauding)

(gentle music)

What are you doing?

- [Boom] I know those people.

- In a bad way?

- Nope. Just haven't spoken to them in years.

- Okay, I'm guessing you haven't been to community events

since your dad died,

because, ultimately, they're about family,

so you let go of these other relationships along the way.

- They're bringing out dinner. Let's go.

- Okay. Hold on.

You're Mr. Spontaneous, which is great and fun,

but you ever think you might be using that spontaneity

to avoid dealing with what is right in front of you?

- Just to be clear,

we're talking about my human connections?

- Light one lamp for wisdom.

I mean, these were good friendships,

and it's worth fixing things.

Great connections are hard to find.

Come on. (gentle music)

- Bhumesh Uncle!

- Jaya, wow, you've gotten so big.

- Boom, where have you been, man?

- Vicky. - Come on.

- It's good to see you, man.

- Come on. - Really good.

(gentle music)

(Vivi chuckles)

In case you get cold.

- Where did you get this?

- Oh, I bought it off an auntie.

- So you stole it?

- I might have stolen it.

(Vivi and Boom laugh)

(exciting music)

They might be coming after us.

Oh, man. Here comes the party.

- All right, Boom.

You're about to see a whole 'nother side of me.

- [Boom] Oh, okay.

(vocalist singing in foreign language)

(vocalist continues singing in foreign language)

(exciting music continues) (crowd cheering)

(vocalist singing in foreign language)

(Boom chuckles)

- How's it going, man?

- Good, man.

- Yeah?

Dude, you and Raina should take a bow for this engagement.

- Oh, thank you. Nah, this is just what we do.

- Sure, but you've helped make

so many other people's weddings happen.

What's it gonna take for yours?

- Ha. The right woman.

- The right woman?

Oh, maybe now you try telling me about this special lady.

- Well, she'd have such a generous heart

and she'd find a way to take care of

all the people in her life,

and she'd be driven and knows how to take control.

(tender music)

But she'd also be fun and open-minded,

and I'd be thinking about her all the time,

and not just because of how she looks,

but because of how she thinks and who she is.

- I see you know exactly what you want.

Hope you find her.

- Yeah.

(crowd applauding)

- Thank you. That was lovely.

(Vivi giggles) (tender music)

- You were amazing.

- That was exactly what I needed.

- Me too. Thanks for being a part of me reconnecting.

This makes me wanna do more,

maybe even go back to India to go see my family there.

- Boom, why did you decide to bring me here?

- I don't know, but I'm glad I did.

This is the most relaxed I've seen you.

- This is the most comfortable I have felt in a long time

with anyone.

- Uh, so,

you're choosing between Leonard and Tristan, right?

- Uh.

(Vivi clears throat)

- Yeah, Leonard and Tristan.

You know, it's getting late.

You stay here with Raina. I'll call a ride.

Goodnight.

- Goodnight.

- Okay.

- Have a good one.

(Raina speaks in foreign language)

- What's going on with Vivi?

- Mom, she's a client.

I'm just doing my job. (lively music)

(vocalist singing in foreign language)

- Um, are we the new office it girls?

- Um.

- Hey, Vivi, Nila.

We are about to have some real talk up in C-suite.

You wanna come with?

Because, you,

you're really showing people what you're capable of.

- Thank you.

I am all about better relationships and better matches.

- And better results.

We're on track for our best quarter yet.

You keep this up,

you're in line for some pretty big things.

Let's go!

(Vivi and Nila squeal)

- [Vivi] Hi, Daddy.

- [Walter] Heya, turtle.

I don't mean to bother you

before your big dates with Leonard and Tristan.

- That's okay. What's up?

- [Walter] Come around out front.

- Okay.

(Jen sighs)

Hi.

- Hi!

- Are you cleaning my room out?

- Yeah, we have to,

because we're turning it into our home fitness center.

Isn't that right, honey?

- Absolutely, love.

What a wonderful idea on your part.

My heart thanks you in more ways than one.

- Why are you guys talking like that?

- Oh, well, our marriage counselor suggested

changing the tone of our words

to change the tone of our relationship.

- We thought we'd keep the momentum going

by exercising together.

Burn cals. Stay pals.

(Jen chuckles)

- Aw. That makes me so happy.

- Aw, honey, it's working.

Hey, Boom!

- Hey, Mr. and Mrs. Daniels.

- Hi.

- You ready for your dates?

- Yeah. Just have to put these boxes inside.

- Oh, please.

Let me.

(Boom chuckles)

- Go ahead and laugh.

- No, not at all.

I bet my mom still has

my vintage Ninja Turtle action figures

in a drawer somewhere.

You know, it's not really about the stuffed animal or toy.

It's more about the phase in your life they represent,

the innocence before you realize how fragile it all can be.

- Oh, your first kiss.

- There was no kiss! - What are you talking about?

- Oh, I swear I saw you smooch this little guy

when you were like five years old.

It was so adorable.

- [Walter] Boom, you know what Vivi used to call him?

- Uh-uh.

- Bear E. White.

(Vivi's parents laugh)

She loved his music as a baby.

Hey, Jen.

Maybe you and I should listen to some of Barry's songs

like we used to. - Ooh!

- Okay, you know, I never thought I would say this,

but can you just chill it on the wooing?

- Oh. - Oh, well, our counselor

told us to live our truth, so.

- This is what you paid for, Vivi,

and money doesn't grow on trees, right?

- Oh, burn.

- How did I know that was gonna come back to me?

- Hello, Vivi.

- Hi.

- Meet Arin. He's a Vedic astrologer.

- Oh. I love reading my horoscope.

- Ah, but Vedic astrology is different.

It takes into account that Earth's orbit wobbles.

- Oh.

- Indians have long believed that

the stars reveal your karma,

what you carry from a past life,

your guna, moral character, and more,

all indicated by your date and time of birth,

day of the week, even your exact birth location.

- I know what you're thinking. All this stuff is mystical.

- Well, all those facts about my birth

are information similar to how Data Mate requests

basic information about its users.

- The astrological paths of two people

can indicate misalignment or harmony.

- Similar to how Data Mate's algorithm

seeks compatibilities to find matches.

- By the way, Mom, this kind of comparison is exactly

how we should explain astrology if we're gonna modernize.

- Bring in the first bachelor.

- Wait. My dates are happening here?

- Of course.

You're getting your astrological readings together.

- Vivi and Leonard,

you'll have several interpersonal obstacles

to overcome in your relationship.

- I think I need to see your credentials.

- Listen, I know that analytics and numbers

feel much more certain,

but I have tried the scientific ways of dating.

Maybe there is more to think about.

Besides, an astrologer brought us together

for this date, right?

- You two will disagree far more than you will agree.

- What? No, I need a better answer.

- Leonard!

Relationships aren't like calculus.

You cannot just have exact inputs and solve for X.

- I think you mean algebra.

- Okay. That metaphor did nothing for you.

Can you just keep an open mind, please?

- I don't think this is working, Vivi.

- Vivi and Tristan, a relationship would be calm

with few disturbances, low or high.

- Well, that's nice, right?

- Better than nice. I love astrology and the stars.

Reminds me of camping and staring up at the sky.

- You camp?

- Oh, yeah, being out in the wilderness,

middle of nowhere, no comforts, co phone.

- No phone?

That sounds bold.

- One day, I plan to move totally off the grid,

just me and my partner.

- I think Vivi's more of a city, arts and culture type.

- But for someone who wants to be my partner,

I am willing to be open.

- This makes me happy. You are growing, Vivi.

You make me proud.

Thank you, Arin.

(gentle music)

- Born October '92.

Oh, no.

Raina?

- Hm?

- Mom, what are you doing?

- He's just asking.

(Ervin softly chuckles)

- Boom, what did he say?

- That Tristan is the match for you.

- Well, in that case, Vivi, can I take you out this weekend?

- Great idea.

- [Tristan] Great.

- Great, and I hear the weather's gonna be amazing too.

- Oh, yeah.

- To go for a workout in the park.

With these giant, large muscles and your deep voice,

I'm sure you'll like that.

- Everyone is getting what they want.

- Yeah. They sure are.

- So, yes, this weekend sounds great.

(lively music)

- You're a little too nervous

for someone going on a date with her potential Mr. Right.

- Maybe it's because he seems so good for me, Nila.

- How's the vibe with him?

- Well, first, I thought

he was a little too cool for school,

but we've gotten closer.

He's actually really caring and fun.

He's quick witted, but he can take a joke too.

A successful entrepreneur,

has a great relationship with his mom,

and when I'm with him, he understands me.

He makes me easygoing when I'm rigid,

and I think I help him to be more open and sincere,

and I swear he really cares about me,

but then he just pulls away.

It's like the universe is telling us this won't work.

- Hun, I was asking about Tristan, not Boom.

- Oh.

Yeah, right.

Who, okay, in terms of everything, is a great fit.

He is sweet, smart, caring, and attractive.

- Oh, yeah.

- Oh, yeah. On paper, it is all there.

I mean, this process is fixing Data Mate, right?

- Yes, but no matter how great our inputs are,

there's one variable we can't control,

whether users answer our questions truthfully.

You know, if you're not being honest with Raina

about what you want or feel, nothing she's doing will work.

So, are you?

(phone ringing)

- Oh.

Hey, guys.

Wow. You look snazzy.

- Oh, thank you, baby.

We're just heading out for our anniversary dinner.

- The first time we've made a night of it in years.

- I'm so glad you're celebrating.

- We won't be home 'til late,

so let's get together for breakfast

an hour later than planned.

- Have fun, you two. I love you.

- [Walter] Bye.

- Now, that's a good omen.

- Maybe.

- Come on. You are rooting for me to be happy, right?

- Of course. Vivi, that's all I want for you.

- Good. Then that makes two of us.

(Vivi chuckles)

(gentle music) (team shouting)

(gentle music continues)

- [Boom] Time out!

- [Teammate] Dude.

- What? - What are you doing?

- I thought I dropped my keys back there.

- Dude, I saw you and Vivi.

Almost everyone here has seen you two.

- Vicky, it's not what you think.

- I'm on your side, okay?

So let me remind you of something Pratik Uncle always said.

A man's true friends point out what he refuses to see.

- Sounds like Dad.

(gentle music)

- [Vicky] Time in!

- [Tristan] Nice and secure?

- [Vivi] Mhm.

- Don't worry. I'll be right beside you.

Just follow my lead and we'll make it up together.

- Okay.

- You're not afraid of heights, are you?

- Not yet.

(Tristan chuckles)

- You'll be fine.

(gentle music)

- Just handholds and footholds.

- Okay.

Handholds and footholds.

(Vivi grunting)

Oh! (Tristan chuckles)

- We're having some hiccups, aren't we?

- Guess we're not naturally in rhythm.

- That's okay. We'll work on it.

I love this place.

It's my favorite getaway from the city.

- Oh.

- I'm glad to be here with you.

(playful music)

(Tristan and Vivi chuckle)

(phone dings)

- Oh, sorry. One second, Tristan.

(message whooshes)

(Vivi chuckles)

I think that's a good moment to close our date with.

- Bummer, but I get it. You are worth the wait.

Besides, what's the rush

if we might just work out for good?

- Okay, well...

See ya.

- [Tristan] Yeah.

- Mom, Dad!

I brought jalebi with me.

It's a kind of Indian sweet.

- In here, baby.

- I had another date with Tristan.

I think there could be potential maybe,

but I'm still thinking about...

You look exhausted. What's wrong?

- We were up all night talking.

- About our relationship and our lives.

- Okay.

- When you're young, opposites attract,

and physical attraction makes up for so much,

but it can't carry you through.

- What are you getting at?

- Sweetheart, for our own happiness,

we've decided to get divorced.

- What?

Why?

You two have been getting along so well.

- I know, baby.

I know, and the counseling

really helped us stop with the yelling,

which meant we could finally hear each other and ourselves.

- We know we can't find what we need

if we force ourselves to stay together.

- No, don't. Please, stay, stay.

Let's just talk about it.

- No. I cannot stomach your reasons right now.

You're just giving up?

- Turtle.

- After all of these years,

you are just giving up and I am not okay with it!

(solemn music)

(Vivi sighs)

(phone dings)

(message whooshes)

(keyboard clicking)

(message whooshes)

(peaceful music)

- Hey.

- Hi.

Oh, Tristan, you look great.

- Think so? Because these clothes don't really fit my style.

- Well, you've only had them a couple weeks.

Give them another month and they'll grow on you.

Besides,

we coordinate.

- I guess it does show how unified we are.

Hey, there's something

I wanna tell you about my work situation.

- [Server] Right this way, please.

- Thank you.

So, which movie should we see?

- Oh, there's this new action-thriller set in the Rockies.

It looks so cool.

- Sure. That's an option.

- But if we can appreciate the finer things as a couple,

then it shows that we can work together

no matter the conditions.

So, how about we do something with subtitles?

- Aw.

You really get it.

- Vivi, wait.

Before we go in, there's something

I wanted to talk to you about all night, and I just-

- I thought I heard you pull up.

(Raina chuckles)

You are overdue for a check-in.

Come in. Tell me everything.

- Actually, Raina, can you give us a moment please?

- Oh, take your time.

- Tristan, she's been expecting us.

If we can't honor our commitment as a unit,

all of the research says we'll be on a downward trajectory.

- Vivi!

What is going on?

It's like you've forgotten

all the progress you've made with me.

- Vivi, I got a job offer out of state

and I've been deciding whether I'm gonna stay here or move.

- Oh, congrats.

Well, that's something we'll have to discuss.

- I wanted us to work out. I really did.

Our vibe's changed,

so I think I'm gonna take the job.

Take care, Vivi.

I'll walk back.

(solemn music)

(Vivi softly sobs)

- You said your system would work.

- Vivi, you know it's not so simple.

- Your methods failed me too.

(Vivi sobs)

- Oh, Vivi.

(solemn music)

(knocking on door) (TV chattering)

- One sec, Nila.

- Hey, Vivi.

- Hey.

- I saw you outside of Mom's house.

I just wanna make sure you were okay.

- Yeah. That's what texts are for.

- And when you don't respond,

that's what knocking on your door is for.

- I'm confused. Why do you care?

I mean, the matchmaking business is on an upswing, right?

So, you're all set.

- That's not all that matters to me.

- Right.

There's also your view on love,

like you told me when we first met.

- Oh, Vivi, that-

- No, I mean, I should have had your POV the whole time.

I chased love. I got burned.

Does that make you happy?

- No. Of course not.

- Hey, you know the funny thing is

we had such different approaches,

but here I am, alone,

just like you.

- You deserve better, Vivi.

(tender music)

- Somehow, this feels worse than with Kenny.

At least I could say it with his fault.

Now who do I blame?

- You're gonna be okay.

- Will I?

Or do I just need to accept that I am not made for love?

- Come on. Come on.

- Oh, thanks for helping us.

We know this is hard for you too.

- Of course. I'm here for you.

- And we're really sorry about how your romance ended up.

- Well, I guess it runs in the family.

(gentle music)

(Vivi sighs)

Okay.

(gentle music continues)

Oh my.

- Everything okay?

- See these drawings?

I was just a little kid.

In almost every picture, you guys are fighting,

and I'm in the middle, trying to make you get along.

I fought so hard to keep you together.

- You know,

we should have never put you in that position.

- I started keeping a mental list of all of the things

that a good relationship had that yours didn't,

but it wasn't about any guy.

It wasn't even about me.

It was about some perfect partnership,

but all I really knew about perfect

came from surveys and studies and anonymous data.

Trying to optimize everything only made things worse.

- Vivi, your mom and I only ended up in a bad place

because we didn't do the work before we got married.

- Yeah, we only cared about the fun, the image,

all the superficial stuff.

- None of what we did

has to apply to you or your relationships.

(gentle music)

(Boom sighs)

(gentle music continues)

(gentle music continues)

(gentle music continues)

- Bhumesh, you haven't come in for so long.

You always walk past the pooja room,

but you never come in.

Why?

- Because it's just a constant reminder that Dad's gone

and it still really hurts,

and, of course, you miss him 10 times more.

He was such a huge part of your life and now you're just...

Alone.

Since Dad's been gone, you've just been alone.

- That's why you suddenly took on

a larger share of the business,

started checking on me at home?

You're here even now, changing my light bulbs.

You realize I know how to use the TaskRabbit, right?

- Jury's still out on that one, Mom, but, yeah.

Dad wouldn't have wanted you to be alone and neither do I.

- Is that why you won't find a real relationship?

Because you think that, if you find love,

it'll leave me even lonelier?

You know where I feel the most alone?

In the pooja room.

Please come.

It's time.

(gentle music)

(Boom sniffles)

- You know, of course, sometimes,

I feel sad without your father,

but that's only because of the great love we shared,

and I take comfort in that.

You should too.

You're a good son for making sure that I don't feel alone,

but nothing will make me more happy

than seeing you find love.

Respect the past, but eyes toward the future, no?

- I think

going to India to go see his family

would help me make peace with Dad being gone,

and, once I'm done,

it's time for you and me to step into the now.

- Agreed.

Plus, you're always around.

I want some me time now.

(Raina and Boom chuckle)

(Boom sniffles) (tender music)

- I love you, Mom.

- I love you.

(tender music)

- Right? And it is important to me.

So, keep that in mind, all right?

- Thanks. You wanted to see me?

- We did, yes.

Here. Come on in.

Take a seat.

- Thank you.

- So, I'll get right to it.

Your Raina Kumar experiment

boosted our user base and profits in the short term.

Plus, I think a huge percentage of our user base

ended up in long-term relationships.

- Really? That's fantastic.

I have so many more ideas for us too.

- Yes, your suggestions worked well, a little too well.

(Adam chuckles)

So, we crunched the numbers, and in the long run,

the most profitable scenario for Data Mate

is if our clients are repeat users,

coming back again and again and again, so we are

ending the Raina modifications.

Yeah, if people are gonna be confused

and doubt their own instincts,

might as well capitalize on it, right?

But you, Vivi, you've shown your metal.

(bright music)

So, how does a promotion to senior vice president sound?

20% pay bump. Stock options, of course.

- I quit.

(Vivi chuckles)

- Now, remember that you signed an NDA!

- She didn't sign that NDA.

(phone rings)

- [Vivi] Hey, Raina. It's Vivi.

- [Raina] Hi, Vivi.

- I just wanted to call

and apologize for how I spoke to you.

I was wrong.

You have done nothing but help me and care about me.

- [Raina] Oh, enough. I accept.

- I really messed things up.

- [Raina] But, Vivi, if you were your own obstacle

to finding love, then you can also clear your own path.

- Raina, I've been trying to call Boom too,

but he's not answering his phone.

Do you know where he is?

- [Raina] He's about to leave for a trip to India.

- What? When?

- [Raina] Right now.

- Okay, okay, thank you. Bye.

Nila!

- Uh, what's going on?

- I'll fill you in in the car.

Can you give me a ride ASAP?

- Of course. Yeah.

- This is it!

Oh, how do I look?

- [Nila] Perfect. Now, go, go, go, go!

- Okay, okay!

(knocking on door)

- Oh, no. (solemn music)

- Boom already left?

Oh, I am so bummed.

I really thought Raina was gonna help you find your match.

- Are we sure she didn't?

I mean, all these weeks,

I have learned so much about who I am

and why I do what I do.

Actually, I think Raina's process worked perfectly.

I finally matched with the person

that I have needed to all along, myself.

- And what about getting married by your next birthday?

- Forget any timeline.

Boom will eventually come back, and when he does,

I will find him and we'll see.

I am ready to embrace that love will happen when it happens.

Raina said you were headed to a flight for India.

- I was, but I had to come see you first.

- I'll give you guys a sec.

(Vivi chuckles)

- I was gonna go to your place,

but Mom said you might be here.

(Vivi and Boom chuckle)

- I am sorry about how I acted.

- I'm sorry too.

I didn't know how wanting to be with you could work

with you as our clients, or how you fit into my family,

or if I was even brave enough to risk feeling sadness

in order to find joy with you.

- I think we can address these concerns.

First off, you're fired.

- No more conflict of interest,

and as far as my family dynamic, you make it better.

You fit perfectly.

- So, I guess all that's left is,

are you willing to take the risk?

Boom, are you finally chasing love?

- Only if you're finally letting love come to you.

(uplifting music)

(uplifting music continues)

(knocking on door)

Come in.

Mom.

- Bhumesh!

Bhumesh.

So handsome.

Your father would be so proud.

I am too.

I love you better.

- Oh, classic Indian mom moment.

(Boom and Raina laugh)

I love you too, Mom.

(gentle music)

- Nila, you look beautiful.

- Me?

Girl, I always knew you were gonna make a beautiful bride,

but this is unreal.

- Vivi, we have another good omen for the wedding.

The Raina app, the first to incorporate real matchmakers

and Raina Kumar's principles, is modernizing matchmaking.

It's a smashing success!

(Vivi and Nila squeal)

And that is because of you and Nila.

- And you and Boom. - Mhm.

- This is a family business.

- I'll see you both out there.

- I want to give you something.

- You are the daughter I never had.

(exciting music) (crowd cheering)

- The groom is here!

(lively music)

(lively music continues)

(vocalists singing in foreign language)

(vocalists continue singing in foreign language)

- Wow.

- [Nila] And, with that,

the couple are now officially married!

(crowd applauding)

(exciting music) (singers vocalizing)

(exciting music continues)

(crowd applauds)

(gentle music)

* Maybe it's the lovely night sky *

* Telling us we're more than just friends *

(gentle music)

- Seven steps down.

- The rest of our lives to go.

* If I fight too hard, too hard *

* I'd never let down my guard *

* So, for now, can we pretend *

* That we don't know yet * (crowd cheering)

* How the story ends *
