See you guys later! Have fun at the game!

You're not going to the game?

No, I don't think so. I'm not feeling that good.

Really? Are you sure?

Yeah, I'm sure.

But everybody's going.

You'll be home all alone.

You know what? Honestly, that sounds pretty nice,

especially being in a house full of girls all the time.

Come on, Alex.

You don't have many games left in your college career.

Why don't you just take a ton of pictures,

and I will just live vicariously through you?

Why don't you get dressed in something cute,

and we'll live vicariously together?

It's not gonna happen. But I love you.

I love you. We'll miss you.

Bye.

Stop! What are you doing?!

- Stop resisting! - What are you doing?!

Come on, Alex! I know you want to!

Stop!

Hey, babe. Uh, so game totally sucked.

Everybody decided to come over. We're gonna hang.

Wanna come play?

Yeah.

Yeah, sure.

What, you okay?

Well, I had one of my bad dreams again.

Yeah, I am.

Okay. We got some wine downstairs. Come on.

- Great. - Yeah.

Whoa. Chill out, little weirdo. It's okay.

I need help.

Say it. Say that you'll marry me.

- Just say it. - No.

Quit groveling.

I'm not groveling.

I'm begging.

Babe, I just...

I can't.

Why not?

Because.

I'm an independent woman, okay?

I don't want you to be my crutch.

What does that mean?

It means I know myself, all right?

And... I'll get complacent.

I'll lose my edge.

You're not gonna lose your edge.

No. I'm a struggling artist.

And if we get married, I'm just gonna get comfortable.

Plus, I need a little spontaneity in my life.

You can be spontaneous, darling.

I'm serious.

Look, I love you so much, but I...

I don't wanna be a wife.

I don't wanna make dinners and do laundry and...

I don't wanna have children.

What, ever?

Not now.

I don't know what makes you think I want all that for you.

I'm not asking you to be a housewife.

Then why do you want to get married so bad?

What is wrong with the way things are right now?

You're happy, right?

Yes, of course I'm happy.

You don't even know what you want.

I think you're being silly about this.

Look, I gotta go to work. Just...

Just know that I love you

more than anything in the entire world.

And that, for me,

when two people love each other,

they express that by becoming one in marriage.

Honey, I'm yours.

And you're mine, okay?

I'm never gonna be with another man again

for the rest of my life.

How much more expression do you need?

Did you forget something?

Uh, no.

- Are you sure? - See? I need you.

I know. You have me.

Something to think about

when you're with those stuffy investment bankers all day.

Ugh! I know. I need to go.

Look. The Bradfords are finally back.

No, I'm pretty sure they drive a Cadillac.

Hmm. I wonder who that is.

Well, maybe they got divorced,

and that's Ms. Bradford's new husband.

Funny, but that's impossible.

- Have a good day. - Thanks.

Hey, Gavin, slow down.

Hey, Jen. Sorry. I'm just trying to make it to my desk

before the London Stock Exchange closes.

London Exchange doesn't close for 30 minutes.

I got a lot of our clients' money tied up in the UK markets,

so I'm just trying to make my deadline.

Well, I need you to finish your analysis

of the Whitmore project.

Maybe we can meet for lunch and go over the numbers?

Honestly, I don't think that's a great idea.

If you don't mind, I'll just email it to you.

Why?

Because I am bogged down with my day-to-day routine.

I couldn't give you my undivided attention.

You do realize we canwork together,

even though we have a past.

At least I can.

In any case, I would appreciate it

if you would treat me with a little more respect.

I am your superior, you know.

Amazing.

Hey, Alex, where you at?

When I tell you to do something, I want it done now!

Did you hear that?

I don't think I'll ever be the same.

Just stop!

I'll never tell Gavin about this.

Hey, I smelled smoke.

- The kitchen. - Where?

Straight through there.

It's okay!

It's... It's okay.

Oh, my gosh.

There's no fire. It was just this.

- Thank you. - Are you okay?

Yeah, I'm fine. I'm just a little freaked out.

I'm Donald, but you can call me Donnie.

I'm the new neighbor.

Alex. Nice to meet you.

It's so weird. I didn't see a "For Sale" sign

or "For Rent" or anything next door.

Is everything okay with the Bradfords?

Oh. Yeah, it's still my aunt and uncle's place.

I'm just watching it while they're out of town.

They're thinking about moving to the east coast,

so I could be around for a while.

Great. Well, um, welcome to the neighborhood.

Yeah, thank you. You know...

I'm just gonna open up some windows really fast.

You know, I was gonna come over and introduce myself,

but I mean, this definitely isn't how I imagined it.

So are you just in that big house all alone?

Yeah, yeah, I...

I guess I'm just the bachelor next door.

More like the hero next door.

No, it was not a big fire, honestly.

It was just a lot of smoke, you know?

Well, I'm such an idiot,

I was gonna just run right out the front door

and let the whole place burn to the ground.

You saved our house. Thank you.

And all your paintings?

Oh, no, my paintings.

Thank God.

Looks like you put a lot of work into these.

I keep thinking I should try something

a little more commercial, but...

Picasso didn't care about sales. Neither should you.

You know, we're having a party on Saturday.

You should come and meet some of the neighbors.

No, it's okay. I wouldn't feel comfortable.

Come on. After what you just did for us?

It's very thoughtful of you, really.

But I did what anyone would do, if they smelled smoke.

That's not true.

I think a lot of people would just call 911.

I'm not gonna take no for an answer.

Well, okay, then, sure.

In the meantime, let me help you air out the kitchen.

Sorry I don't have bigger cups.

No, no, these are great. Where did you get these?

They're cute, right? We brought them back from vacation.

Oh, wow.

Hey, honey.

Hi. Oh, my gosh, you're home early.

Yeah, I ran out as soon as the markets closed.

This is our new neighbor, Donnie.

- Hey. - Hi.

Donnie actually saved our house from burning down today.

What happened?

Donnie saw the smoke and ran over

and literally saved the day.

You know, I think it was a short

in this outlet here.

For the future, you might wanna get a surge protector

when you have many appliances plugged in at the same time.

So you're an electrician.

No, but I'm a bit of a handyman.

Huh. And you smelled the smoke from next door.

Yeah, I was outside working, and I smelled it right away.

I actually invited Donnie to come to our party on Saturday.

Yes.

Yes, you should...

Yeah, you should totally come.

All right, well, I get out of your hair.

- Hey, it's good to meet you. - Great to meet you.

- I'll walk you out. - Thanks.

- Donnie, thank you so much. - Absolutely. Not a problem.

I'm right next door, so anything you need.

- Great. Thank you. - Very nice to meet you.

Bye.

Hey, you guys want anything?

I'll be right back.

There's shrimp, chips, salsa, all sorts of stuff.

Hey. Where's Donnie?

I don't know. I haven't seen him.

Do you think I should go over there and get him?

Maybe he's just shy and doesn't want to be celebrated.

No. If you wanna pass these out, maybe I'll go get him.

I'll be right back.

Okay, thank you. You're so sweet.

- You guys want one? - Sure.

Donnie?

Donnie?

Hey, Donnie?

What are you doing?

Donnie.

Hey. Uh...

I knocked, and I shouted a few times.

Are you okay?

Yeah.

Thanks, but I can take care of myself.

I'm sorry. I didn't mean anything by that.

Um...

The party's started. We don't have a guest of honor.

- Right. - Come on.

I think Alex is waiting for you.

I'm sorry. I...

I just get a little antisocial sometimes.

But...

Yeah, no, of course.

Come on, let's go.

Okay.

I inherited a bunch of money a few years back,

and it's just sitting in a bank not earning a damn thing.

What's going on with the interest rates these days?

I don't know. It's painful. Interest rates are really low,

so you're not gonna see anything out of a savings account.

Best way to make money is stocks and real estate investments.

You think I can pick your brain sometime?

Yeah, yeah, no problem

Donnie's here.

Oh, my gosh! I thought you were standing me up.

No, no, I, uh...

I'm sorry. I just saw all these people here,

and it looked a little daunting.

Don't be shy. There are so many nice people for you to meet.

Come on, let me show you around.

You guys, this is Donnie. He just moved in next door.

Donnie, this is everybody.

Hi, I'm Sage. I'm Alex's little sister.

Oh, hi. It's so nice to meet you.

What you did was really heroic.

No, it was nothing.

No, you're wrong. You may think it was nothing,

but the fact that you had the presence of mind

and the bravery to spring into action,

I mean, I find that impressive.

She's giving you a compliment. It's okay to take it.

Okay, okay, you win.

I accept all the accolades. Thank you.

Yeah, well... Oh, you know what?

Let me introduce you to Ginger and Marie.

They're from Ocilla, Georgia. They're hilarious.

You're gonna love them. Come on.

I saved a cat from a tree once.

Oh, did you?

Stop being so jealous.

Do you want me to make you a plate? Are you hungry?

Yeah, sure.

Oh, what have you done?

I think they're hitting it off, don't you?

Yeah. Should we warn him?

About what? What does that mean?

Your sister's crazy.

She's not crazy. She's unique.

Impressive. You are just full of impressives.

Hey, guys, you having fun?

Oh, my God, yes.

Donnie is an amazing guy.

Did you know that he's traveled all over the world?

And I'm not talking about the normal places

like Hawaii or Europe.

I'm talking about Swaziland.

Zimbabwe, Cambodia.

Wow. Really?

Yeah. What can I say? I do like traveling.

Incredible, but I need you guys to travel somewhere else,

so we can clean up.

No, I'll help you clean.

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

- No, I'll be happy to. - No, seriously, please don't.

No, it's really not a problem.

Honestly, we really like the quiet time,

wiping counters and doing dishes.

It brings us close together.

All that romantic stuff. Hey, babe, let's do the dishes.

Yeah, hey, she's into it.

Well, Donnie, why don't we move the party over to your place?

I'll tell you what.

You wanna go to a diner or something?

My place is just, it's still kind of a mess.

Yeah. We can go to Joan's Deli.

They'll let us sit there and talk all night.

- It'll be fun. - Great.

Come on.

- Bye, guys. - Bye.

Thank you for the party.

- I got you. - Oh, God, thank you.

Hello.

Hi. Can I help you?

Yes. I here to see Gavin Burnett.

Do you have an appointment?

No, but he said I could stop by anytime.

I was in the area, so I thought I'd see if he's available.

Okay, what's your name?

Donnie.

What's your last name?

Donnie's fine. I'm his neighbor. He knows who I am.

He's in a meeting,

but I'll check to see if he can see you.

- Gavin? - Yeah.

There's a gentleman here that says his name is Donnie.

Says that he's your neighbor.

Said that you told him to drop by anytime.

He's here?

Right here.

Huh. Well, maybe I did.

That's what he says.

Donnie, hey.

Hey, Gavin. How are you?

Good.

I hope you don't mind me dropping in on you.

No, it's fine.

People make appointments, but it's fine.

Good, because I wanna talk to you about

investing that money I told you about.

Yeah, of course.

I've never seen you with a client

this early in the morning.

Jen Green, Donnie.

Donnie, my boss Jen Green.

Oh, it's nice to meet you, Jen.

Have you two been working together for a long time?

- Well... - You could say that.

Gavin and I go way back.

Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't... Did I create a problem?

- Oh! - No.

- No problem here. - No.

Hey, my office is this way.

Nice to meet you, Donnie.

Oh, it's a pleasure to meet you, Jen.

Grab a chair.

Nice office, Gavin.

Thank you.

So...

how long have you been in the financial business?

Right about 10 years.

Wow, that is a long time.

Gosh, you know, I cannot seem to stick to anything

for more than a year.

So 10, it's extremely commendable.

I appreciate that.

So, Donnie, what can I do for you?

Okay.

My inheritance.

Yes.

I would like to give it to you to invest.

Now, I know we just met,

but... I don't know. I did my research on you,

and you seem to be on the up and up.

You researched me?

Well, sure, online.

Doesn't everybody?

Sure, I guess.

So what do you think?

Well, I typically advise my clients

to diversify their portfolio

among several different categories:

Roth IRA, stock, bonds,

REITs, which are real estate investment trusts.

That way if any particular market crashes,

you're not out everything.

Hi.

Hi.

Hi, honey, I'm glad you came.

So? Any interest?

I'm sorry, babe.

But listen, I started promoting on social media,

and I'm sending out postcards, I'm inviting people to come in.

It just hasn't happened yet.

I feel like maybe I'm going too dark or something

or maybe should be trying something more commercial.

What are you gonna do?

Are you going to start making paintings for hotel rooms?

I just feel myself getting frustrated,

and it's affecting my work.

Alex, honey, art is a funny business, you know that.

What clicks with buyers,

sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn't.

There's no rhyme or reason.

I need it to click and soon.

Thank you.

- Okay. - Okay.

Bye.

Hey, it's Sage. Leave me a message,

or I'll think you're a stalker.

You haven't called me back since after the party.

I wanna know all the juicy details.

Call me, okay?

Love you.

Hey, Alex.

- Hi, Donnie. - Perfect timing.

I actually just got back from Gavin's office.

Looks like I'm gonna be investing with him.

Oh, I didn't realize you guys were meeting today.

Well, yeah, I was just in the area.

I figured I'd stop by and see if he was in.

But yeah, I liked what he had to say, so...

Okay, great.

Anyway, I picked this up for you at the store.

This should fix your outlet issue.

It's a surge protector.

If there's a surge of electricity to your appliances,

this will shut everything off before starting another fire.

I just have to plug it into your outlet

and then plug the appliances into it.

I hope Gavin doesn't mind, right?

- Uh, no, of course not. - Great.

Thank you.

Uh, you have to let me reimburse you for that.

No, absolutely not. It is worth every cent to me

to know that you guys are safe and sound.

So how was the nightcap with Sage?

I haven't heard from her since, so...

So great. God, she's such a good girl, you know?

We just, uh, we just talked all night.

Thank you so much for introducing us.

Of course.

I hope she's all right.

You did drop her off at home, right?

Yeah, dropped her off and then came right back here.

I'm sure you heard me. We're so close to each other.

Right.

It's just not like her to not call me back.

Well, she was having issues with her cell.

I don't know. Maybe that was it.

Wow.

Alex, this is so powerful.

- You like it? - Do I like it? I love it.

It says so much about you.

I'm assuming this is about you, It seems so personal.

- Do you paint? - Oh, God, no. No, no, no.

But I'm a big art fan. I appreciate good stuff.

You clearly have your own style, but it's great.

What is... What is this one about?

Oh, listen, it's okay.

You don't have to say anything.

It's personal. I get it.

Yeah, I'd, uh, I'd rather not.

Say no more.

But we all have those places.

And I just hope that, eventually,

I get to know you well enough that you can,

you can go there with me.

To discuss the inspiration for your art, you know?

You know, like what drives you, that's all.

Right. Um...

Speaking of art, I probably should get back to my paintings.

Oh, yeah, of course.

I'm sorry. I'll get out of your hair.

Okay. Right.

If you hear from Sage, let me know, okay?

I will, but I'm sure she's fine.

Anyway, I'll catch you later. I'll let myself out.

Hey, keep up the good work.

Thanks.

Hey, it's Sage. Leave me a message,

or I'll think you're a stalker.

It's me again. Can you please call me back?

I'm really starting to worry about you.

Okay.

Hey, Donnie, what you doing?

Oh, hey, Gavin.

I noticed that some of your hedges were not symmetrical,

so I gave them a little trim.

Alex, put you up to that?

No, but I wanted to surprise you guys.

You know we've got gardeners for this, right?

Well, your gardeners are clearly not doing their job.

You might wanna consider firing them.

Yeah, well...

I appreciate the effort. Thanks for that.

But maybe in the future, check in with Alex or me first.

Yeah. Yeah, of course.

Gosh, this was kind of presumptuous of me, wasn't it?

It's totally fine. Just for the future.

Yeah, of course, I'm sorry.

Don't be. It's fine.

Oh, hey, Gavin?

Look, I found this.

Now, you might wanna think of a better way

to hide your house keys.

These fake rocks, they're pretty obvious.

Thanks, Donnie.

- Alex, I'm home. - Hey.

Alex, where you at?

Hey, I'm in here.

What's going on?

I heard you and Donnie talking outside,

and then he walked in his house, and he started yelling

and punching the wall like a crazy person.

He totally freaked me out today.

You know, me too.

When I pulled up just now, he was clipping our hedges.

And he found our Hide-a-Key.

I mean, the spare was still in it, but still.

You know, he's so familiar to me.

Familiar? From where?

I don't know. It's like he doesn't look familiar to me,

but his mannerisms, his body language,

it's like I know him from somewhere.

You know, I haven't heard from Sage

since she left our house the other night.

I've called, I've texted. Nothing.

Listen, I've been thinking maybe we should get away.

What about going up to your parents' place for the weekend?

Just you and me. Maybe you'll get inspired.

Yeah.

Okay.

- Hey. - Hey.

- What are you doing here? - Sage, where have you been?

I've been here. What is wrong with you two?

Your sister's been trying to get ahold of you all day.

I left you a message this morning,

saying I was coming to the cabin.

- I guess you didn't get it. - No, I didn't.

You haven't returned any of my texts, emails, nothing.

Yeah, 'cause I have absolutely no service here.

I had to make phone calls at the gas station payphone.

You'd think Mom or Dad could install a satellite dish here

or something.

What?

Come on!

What?

Hey, guys.

- What are you doing here? - It's so funny.

I got a call from Sage, and I headed right up.

Well, should we give 'em some privacy

and go to a room in the Northwoods?

- What? No, don't do that. - Yeah, no.

Stay here. We can all spend the weekend together.

We can go hiking and fishing.

We can sit around the campfire and make s'mores.

I actually think it's a great idea.

Oh, that's great. I'm so excited.

Yeah, we're gonna have so much fun.

Well, this was delicious. Thank you.

Donnie went to cooking school in Asia,

so he loves to cook whenever he can.

Yeah, yeah, that's true.

Cooking, it's like therapy to me.

Good stuff, man.

So, Donnie,

Cambodia, Sri Lanka, was it Swaziland?

You've traveled the world, I know nothing about you.

- What's your story? - Gavin, come on.

Look, you don't need to tell us your life story.

What? It's not like I'm prying.

No, it's fine. I don't mind.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

Thanks.

So I was born in Idaho,

but my parents died in a car crash when I was five,

so I was sent to live with my grandparents

in Cincinnati after that.

Oh, man.

I'm so sorry, Donnie.

No, that's okay, I...

Listen, my grandparents and I are really close,

so I just started calling them Mom and Dad.

Um...

I was always a really shy kid.

It took me a few years after college, really,

to start to feel comfortable with myself, you know?

Now thankfully, when my parents did die,

there was an insurance settlement,

so I inherited a large sum of money,

and now I don't have to work much.

I can just kinda travel around

and, I don't know, do what I wanna do.

So what brought you to LA, then?

I explained to Alex I'm watching my aunt and uncle's place

while they're out of town.

No work or anything? Just house sitting?

Gavin!

What? I don't mean anything bad by that.

Well, no, if you must know,

I'm actually also out here to visit an old friend.

I think that's very sweet, Donnie.

So, um, who are you here to visit?

I have some information that my friend needs to know.

You didn't want to tell her over the phone?

No, it's very personal,

and it's kind of a lot to take in,

so I feel like I needed to be there in person

to tell her.

For emotional support?

Yeah, yeah, exactly.

And when are you and this friend supposed to hook up?

I'm gonna meet up with her again soon.

Anyway, that's enough about me.

I'll tell what.

Why don't you two lovebirds go relax,

and Sage and I will clean everything up.

- Oh, no, you don't have to. - That's a great idea.

It's important for us to do the mundane stuff together.

Wiping counters, washing dishes.

I mean, hey, it clearly works so well for you two,

maybe it'll work for us.

Well, I certainly appreciate that, Donnie.

Thank you very much.

Thanks.

I'm sorry that Sage and Donnie are here.

That's okay. We won't let 'em ruin the weekend.

No, we won't.

Well, I think we make a pretty good team.

Yeah, yeah, I would say so.

Why are you the sweetest man in the whole world?

I love you so much.

Alex.

Yes?

What is that?

I know that you're not the traditionalist that I am,

but marriage for me is a lot more than just a certificate.

It shows you that I love you more than anything else

in the entire world,

and I will always put you first.

You know, I have to be honest, Sage.

I really didn't expect to meet anyone like you

while I was out here in LA.

Well, I meet a lot of guys, and none of them are like you.

Why are you so different?

I don't know. What's different about me?

I don't know. You're just...

you're so aware of everyone around you,

like you're always trying to figure out things to do

to make their lives better.

You're very altruistic, Donnie.

- Altruistic, huh? - Yeah.

You do things for other people

without ever considering yourself.

You don't really find people like that in LA very often

or ever, actually.

Alexandra Marie.

Will you marry me?

Babe...

I've been thinking about this a lot,

and I know that I have been really difficult

about this whole thing,

but I'm really starting to realize

what marriage means to you, and...

I want to spend the rest of my life with you.

I love you. I want to be old with you.

Yes.

Yes, I'll marry you.

Oh!

Thank you. Hey, guys!

Oh. Whoops.

Sorry.

Um.

Ahem.

Guess what.

Oh, my God! You said yes finally!

I can't believe it.

Wow. What what was holding you back?

I don't know. I guess just...

I was being silly. The rebellion of it all,

or the institution of it, I don't know.

I was being silly, but I'm so happy.

- Me too. - Good.

Sounds like you're trying to talk yourself out of it.

You sure about all this?

Hey, let's not go down that road.

She said yes, and you're not gonna back out on me, okay?

Yeah, and I want to go to big wedding, so...

Oh, yeah, it's gonna be huge!

It's a small wedding, and it's gonna be very special.

Well, I think we've all had a wonder evening.

I think we're gonna go upstairs and sleep.

But hey, let's go fishing or something in the morning, yeah?

Yeah, that sounds great.

- Bye. - Bye, guys.

- Good night. - Congrats.

Don't stop. I want you.

I've always loved you, Alex.

What did you say?

What? What'd I say?

You just called me Alex.

No.

No, I said Sage.

No, you said Alex.

No, I-I didn't.

Yes, yes, you did. Get off.

Wait.

And you said, "I've always loved you."

- What the hell is that? - I don't know.

Look, I was asleep practically,

You can't be held responsible for what you say in your sleep.

Um, yeah, you can.

Sage, please. Look, I made a mistake.

Right before we were about to have sex? Are you kidding me?

I'm so sorry. Please. I'm...

How long have you known my sister?

What?

The day of the fire was the first day I met her.

Well, you obviously have something for her

if you thought I was her.

Oh, God, gross. I'm gonna be sick.

Alex, Alex... Sage!

Oh, my God, are you kidding me?

Donnie, just pack up and go.

No. This is over. Just leave.

Hey.

Did you hear that?

Yeah. It sounded like a door slamming.

I'm gonna go make sure she's okay.

Yeah.

Stupid! You're so stupid!

How could you do that? How could you do that, huh?

You're so stupid!

Hey, you okay?

Yeah, I'm fine.

Sage, what's going on?

Nothing, Alex.

I don't wanna talk about it, okay?

Why don't you just tell me what happened?

Donnie and I are just not gonna work out.

Guys come and guys go,

and that's just the way it is for me.

They can't always be like Gavin, so...

I don't understand.

I don't need you to understand.

It seemed like you guys were getting along really well...

He said your name, Alex.

What?

We were kissing, and he said,

"I've always loved you, Alex."

I don't know what's going on between you guys,

but it's over between us, so I'm leaving.

Sage, I am so sorry.

I don't know why he would say that.

- Oh, really? - No.

You haven't seen the way he looks at you?

How he looks at me?

He doesn't look at me any way.

Of course he does. You are not that naive, Alex.

You know what? It's fine. I'll get over it.

It's not like it hasn't been happening to me my entire life.

What's going on?

Oh, yeah. Alex has just been stealing my boyfriends

since I was 13, so nothing new.

Sage, how can you say that?

A least this time, it happened pretty early on.

Unfortunately, he still lives right next door to you guys,

so don't expect me to come around the house

as long as he's there.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

What the hell was that all about?

I don't know. She, um...

She wouldn't tell me.

She tells you everything.

Let's just go to bed. Come on.

We'll get up early in the morning.

♪ To be here with me ♪

Looks like we got reception again.

Hey, Kaya.

Wow.

Okay.

Thank you.

I'll talk to you later.

What?

I sold two paintings.

Alex!

That's amazing. Congratulations.

Thank you.

What is this guy doing?

Is he actually taking our trash out right now?

Looks like it.

What's going on, buddy?

Hey, guys. I wasn't sure when you'd be home,

so I figured I'd help you out.

I didn't want you to miss out on garbage day.

Oh. Well, thanks. I'll take over from here.

- Yeah, of course. - I got it.

Yeah.

So how's Sage doing?

Is she all right?

Yeah. Yeah, I think she's gonna be fine.

Good.

You wanna tell me what happened?

Sage.

Look, she's great, you know,

but she hasn't been in something serious in a while,

and I think, uh...

I don't know. She just kinda got freaked out.

I think it'd be best if I give her a little bit of space.

You know, just for now.

That's probably a good idea.

Yeah.

All right, well, I'll catch you guys.

Hey, maybe tomorrow, we can all grab dinner or something.

Uh, yeah, maybe.

Maybe.

Oh, hold it, what? Maybe?

Uh, wait. I... There's...

There's nothing wrong between you and me, is there?

No.

No. I just, I feel like we need to just take a beat,

and everyone needs a little space right now.

Okay.

Sure.

I have a lot of work to do, so I'm gonna go inside.

Yeah.

I'll see you guys.

Hi there. You've reached the Bradfords.

Please leave your name and number.

We'll get back to you as soon as we can. Thanks a lot.

Hi, Mr. and Mrs. Bradford.

This is Gavin Burnett from next door.

Um, well, I was calling

'cause ever since your nephew Donnie moved in,

Alex and I haven't heard from you, so...

Just getting a little worried. Thought I'd check in.

If you'd give me a call back, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks, bye.

"Gavin,

I'm so glad we're working on the Whitmore project together.

I truly missed your intelligence and wit.

Even more, our lunches have given so much insight

into myself.

Rekindling what we had before Alex came along

is exactly what I needed in my life."

"I hope you're as happy as I am."

Hi.

Hi. Look, I just wanted to apologize

for the other night.

You and Gavin, you've been so good to me,

and I shouldn't have just run out on you like that, but...

Oh, my God, are you all right?

No.

Alex, what is it?

Hey, can I help? You can talk to me.

Hey, hey, listen.

You can talk to me.

I'm your hero, remember?

I think he's cheating on me.

What?

No. He just proposed to you.

I found an earring in the laundry basket

and an email from another woman.

What?

Do you know something?

Donnie, you have to tell me if you do.

I don't... Look, there...

About a week or so ago,

there was a woman who came by looking for Gavin.

I was outside working.

She asked me some questions about you and Gavin.

I saw her at his office.

I figured they're coworkers. I don't think much of it, but...

Look, the only strange thing is that she only showed up here

when you weren't home.

Did you get her name?

Oh, yeah. Um...

Oh. What what was it?

It was, uh, it was, um...

like Jeri or Jenny.

Jennifer?

Yeah, it was Jennifer.

Oh, God.

I know who that is.

And I think he knows her from...

Okay.

Alex, they work together. I'm sure it's just...

No.

They had a relationship before. It probably never ended.

Why would he do this to me?

It's okay.

I'm so sorry.

Hey, Alex?

Alex?

Gavin?

Get away from my fiancée, you son of a bitch!

Gavin!

I don't know who you are or what you think you're doing,

but you stay away from us.

Gavin!

Get up. Get out.

Get out, get out, get out!

What the hell was that? Why was he hugging you?

We were just talking.

Talking? He was feeling you up!

- His hands were all over you! - Gavin, stop.

When were you gonna tell me?

Tell you what?

Just say it.

Say what?

That you're having an affair.

I don't know what you're talking about.

I saw the earring and the email,

and Donnie said that he saw her here at the house.

You're having an affair with Jennifer from work.

Why would you propose to me

if you're sleeping with somebody else this whole time?

It's not true. Baby, I swear to God.

Just don't.

This is insane.

I swear to God, I'm gonna get this guy.

Gavin.

Gavin, where are you going?

Donnie!

Hey!

911. What is your emergency?

Yes, hello, I need to report a road rage incident.

I'm being followed by a madman in a silver Chrysler.

We are headed south on Nichols Canyon in the Hollywood Hills,

between La Brea and Highland, towards Franklin.

Please, please hurry. I think he's got a gun.

Okay, try to get to the Hollywood Police Station

as safely as possible.

I'll dispatch a patrol car.

Great. Thank you so much. Please hurry.

- Alex. - Gavin.

He's not worth it. Please just come home.

We can figure this out.

This is not his fault, okay?

I was upset, and I hugged him.

Then why did he tell you that he saw Jennifer?

That's a lie. He's setting me up.

What about the earring and the emails?

There's no email!

Dispatch, this is Unit 272.

We got eyes on the suspect. We're in pursuit.

Oh, my God, he called the police.

Alex, he called the police. I'm getting pulled over.

I'm gonna have to call you back.

Driver, turn off the ignition and step out of the car.

Oh, my God.

What?

Hi.

You have to listen to me.

This guy, Donnie, moved in next door,

and he's been stalking us.

We thought he bought the place, but I don't think so.

He kept talking about an inheritance,

but it's the Bradfords' house.

It's their house. It's their house.

He's living in their house.

All right, let's take the conversation into the room.

Hey, Alex. Listen, don't worry.

Everything's gonna be fine.

Soon enough, this is all gonna make sense.

Where are we going?

The ranch, where there's no service.

That way we can finally have some privacy.

Seems like the appropriate place to go.

That's your special spot, right?

Where Gavin proposed to you.

No, Donnie. Please take me home, please.

Nope. The ranch is better.

Okay, look, it's gonna be okay.

You're gonna have to trust me on this.

Can't you just...

Can't you just let me go?

Okay.

All right, we'll release you.

But first, let's talk about this Bradford issue.

It's the house next door to mine.

All right, how long has he been there?

Hello, beautiful.

Donnie, what's happening?

We are finally...

all alone.

What's going on?

It's okay. Hey, Alex, I'm not gonna hurt you.

Where's Gavin?

He's probably still in jail.

No telling when he'll get out.

No, Donnie. Please take me home, please.

Nope. The ranch is better.

Well, he assaulted me and threw me out of your house,

and he's the one having an affair.

What a guy you picked, huh?

You set that up.

Yeah, I guess it doesn't matter anymore.

Yeah, I did.

I set it all up. Everything.

Gotta admit, that was a pretty good plan though, right?

But Gavin, he really dropped the ball on this.

He cannot protect you.

It was so easy to get in the house

and set up the cameras, the fire, everything.

The smoke bomb and broken plug trick? Really?

I mean, I cannot believe he fell for that.

Why are you stalking me?

I am not stalking you.

I'm helping you.

And I promise you're gonna see that.

Gavin, this is Detective Miller.

Gavin, we did some research and discovered

the true identity of your neighbor.

But he's not related at all to the Bradfords.

In fact, I'm certain he doesn't have permission

to live in that house.

Okay, so the does that mean?

It means he broke in,

and he's staying there illegally.

We have officers headed there right now.

According to our records,

Donnie's last place of residence

was Boulder, Colorado, in 2007.

Does that mean anything to you?

Wait. Did Donnie go to college with us?

Is that why he's so familiar? But that would mean...

Means what? Gavin, where are you right now?

I got a voicemail that she's with him

at her parents' farmhouse.

I'm heading there now.

Whatever you do, don't confront him by yourself.

Yeah, and he's there with my fiancée.

- What am I supposed to do? - You stay out of this.

Give me the address, and I'll call the local police.

Gavin!

Gavin...

I've been waiting 10 years for this moment.

What are you talking about?

Look at me.

You really don't remember, do you?

What I did for you.

No, I don't. I'm sorry.

It's okay, it's okay.

No, uh, it's been a long time,

and I look very different.

You don't even remember what I did for you

10 years ago!

What are you talking about?

Our story starts off in the halls,

right after your favorite class.

I was nothing to you,

but you were everything to me.

I would just watch you...

and worship you.

Alex.

- Hi. - Hi, hi.

Hey, Alex, hi, I'm Donald.

Hi.

We're in art history class together.

I usually sit in the front row.

You've seen me every time you walk into the lecture hall.

I'm usually there early.

Yeah. Sorry. I don't remember you.

No, sure you do.

Sure. I smiled at you yesterday, and you smiled back.

Oh, I did?

I just... I thought, um...

I thought we had a moment.

A moment?

Um, okay.

Anyway, I was just wondering if maybe

sometime you wanted to...

Johnny!

Excuse me.

Help me get rid of this guy.

All right.

Hey, sorry, buddy,

but she promised she'd help me study for a test, you know.

Sorry.

You weren't nice to me that first time,

but I wasn't about to give up.

Then on one fateful night,

I was walking down Pearl Street,

looked in the window of a bar,

and there you just happened to be.

Alex, hi.

Hi. It's me Donald from art history class.

We spoke on campus the other day.

Hi.

Okay, look, I'm sorry.

I'm just...

I'm just trying to get a moment to talk with you.

Donald, look,

I'm sure you're a really, really nice guy.

I just...

I'm not interested.

Interested?

Hmm. Uh...

But I just want...

I'm just trying to be your friend.

Okay.

Donald, you're really creeping me out,

and I'm sorry.

I don't wanna be friends, okay? It's how I feel.

Can we go?

I understand what peer pressure does to some people.

Honestly, though, I didn't think you were that weak.

But I forgave you.

Johnny, stop! Ow! Stop!

Then I couldn't believe it.

I actually, coincidentally, came upon you

when you were in your most precarious

and dangerous position of your life.

- Ow! - No!

Help!

Finally, I had my chance to show you

how much I truly loved you.

Hey, leave her alone!

Do not tell a soul about this!

You really like her, don't you?

Don't you see now? I've always loved you.

I've always protected you.

Then after I recovered from all my injuries,

I would come and watch over you sleeping in your room.

You never even knew I was there.

One time, I tried to crawl into bed with you

and keep you safe, but... your friend showed up,

and I didn't think I was worthy of seeing you again

until now.

Do you understand? We were...

We were meant for each other.

We belong to each other.

No. This is crazy.

You're insane.

God, you're so ungrateful!

Insane is what I did to save you from being raped.

Insane is you not helping me.

Do you know I almost died?

I was in the hospital for months, recovering,

while you just went along with your life, huh?

Did you ever once think about me?

I didn't know that it was you.

Of course you knew it was me!

Are you that oblivious to the world around you?

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I don't want your apologizes, Alex.

God, how about a thank-you, huh?

"Thank you, Donnie, for saving my life!"

Shh, shh.

Alex?

Alex!

Let her go, Donnie.

Stay back.

I'm not finished telling my story.

What story?

Your truth, Gavin.

You see, Gavin here thinks I'm the bad guy,

but he has been keeping a secret from you

for a very long time.

I don't know what you're talking about.

You know exactly what I'm talking about.

And she's gonna see who you really are,

and then we are gonna live happily ever after.

You see, the shocking part of our story

is that Gavin was there.

What?

- No, that's a lie. - Check the police records.

Gavin Burnett was there.

Is that true?

You see, Gavin could've stopped Johnny, but he didn't.

He didn't. He manipulated you.

And you just fell for his tricks hook, line, and sinker.

- No! That's not what happened. - What is he talking about?

How was he supposed to tell you he watched you getting raped

and did nothing to stop it?

That's not true! It didn't happen like that.

I was parking my car.

I heard screaming. I ran to the stables

and saw someone getting their ass kicked

by one of my fraternity brothers.

Alex...

I didn't even know you were involved.

You never said anything about this before!

I-I saved you! I stopped him from raping you!

Yes, you did, and you should be a hero.

But this isn't what happened.

This is a fabrication. This is a fantasy.

- That's a lie! - When I talked to the police,

they told me you were a hazing victim.

I didn't know who you were. I swear to God!

You're not turning me against him.

You're crazy.

I am not crazy!

Stop it. Stop. Shh...

I love you! Don't you see that?

I've loved you from the moment I saw you,

and you just reject me over and over and over again.

No more.

We're gonna be together one way or another.

Donnie.

You stay back!

I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry.

It's okay.

- It's okay. - I'm so sorry.
