00:01Senior year, the culmination of all my careful planning.
00:05Perfect grades, the model boyfriend.
00:08It's all falling into place.
00:11Hey, Jake.
00:13What'd you want to talk about?
00:15We need to break up.
00:16What?
00:17Come on, Claire.
00:18Things haven't been working out for a while.
00:20But everything was going so well.
00:22I've been seeing someone else.
00:24It's okay, Claire.
00:26I mean, it's not the end of the world.
00:28You'll find someone, you'll find someone.
00:32Claire.
00:34My jacket.
00:44See, it's cool.
00:50Look, I get it's only been a week, but this moping, it's gotta stop.
00:55We were together for two years, Zoe.
00:57Exactly.
00:58Forget him.
00:59This is our senior year.
01:00Literally the perfect time to just start fresh.
01:03I don't want to start fresh.
01:04I just want Jake back.
01:06Wait, wait, wait, wait.
01:07Pause.
01:08You want to get back together with him?
01:10Of course I do.
01:11Even though he cheated on you.
01:13Even though he cheated on you.
01:16Everyone makes mistakes.
01:18Oh, okay.
01:19Look, sooner or later he's gonna realize how much he misses me.
01:22You know you're my best friend, right?
01:24Yeah.
01:25So seeing you like this, it honestly kills me.
01:30So if you really, really want to get back together with Jake, then I'm willing to help you.
01:37Really?
01:38Yeah.
01:39Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you.
01:40Okay, okay, okay, okay.
01:42Okay, there's one thing you can do.
01:44Like, one thing that'll drive him crazy and just straight back into your arms.
01:47What is it?
01:48Operation Jealousy.
01:50Operation Jealousy?
01:52Yep.
01:53You gotta make him crazy jealous and then he'll be crawling on his knees begging to get back
01:57together with you.
01:58Okay, and how do I do that?
02:01Simple.
02:02You bring a hot guy to his birthday party tomorrow.
02:05I don't know.
02:06Seems kind of crazy to me.
02:08Well, you need to trust me because it's gonna work.
02:10Okay, well how am I supposed to find a new boyfriend in the next 24 hours?
02:14Babe, it's 2020.
02:16You know that anything's possible.
02:18Plus, I found this new app called BF Bundle where you can hire a fake boyfriend for the
02:24night.
02:25Wait, how do you know about this?
02:27This is about you.
02:28This is about you.
02:29So...
02:30Okay, well how does it work?
02:32Well, first we need to create your profile.
02:34And...
02:35Done.
02:36Now we just wait.
02:38Actually, hold on.
02:40I'm gonna add a bio to make you seem a little bit more...
02:43fun.
02:45Okay, I am plenty of fun.
02:47Look at you right now.
02:49Okay, fair enough.
02:50Yeah.
02:51And...
02:52Oh, oh, whoa.
02:53You already have a match, dude.
02:54You have a match.
02:55And the reviews are raving that he is a total hottie.
02:58Oh my god, let me see.
03:00Swoonworthy.
03:01Yeah.
03:02Local athlete.
03:03He has a five-star rating.
03:04Yeah, that sounds perfect for you.
03:06Wait, why aren't there any photos?
03:07Um, oh, the app says it's a privacy app.
03:09It's a privacy app.
03:10It's a privacy app.
03:11It's a privacy app.
03:12It's a privacy app.
03:13It's a privacy app.
03:14It's a privacy app.
03:15Um, oh, the app says it's a privacy thing.
03:17You have to commit to at least a meet-up.
03:19Oh.
03:20I'll take this.
03:22Let's see.
03:23Wait, what are you doing?
03:24Uh...
03:25Done.
03:27You're meeting him today.
03:29Today?
03:30Yeah.
03:31Like, this today?
03:32This one.
03:33So...
03:34Let's get dressed.
03:35Zoey!
03:36Yeah!
03:37Zoey!
03:38Too soon!
03:49Damon!
03:50Hey.
03:51I thought you were at a hockey convention all summer.
03:54No, it ended.
03:55I just got back into town.
03:57Plus, Jake wouldn't stop going on about his big birthday bash.
04:00Guess I'll see you there?
04:01Um, no.
04:03Actually, we broke up.
04:04Oh.
04:05Oh, man.
04:06I'm sorry to hear that.
04:07Thanks.
04:08Well, I'm meeting someone, so have a good night.
04:11Yeah, you too.
04:12You know, I'm sure they'll be here any second.
04:36You don't have to wait.
04:37Thank you, though.
04:38I'm not.
04:39Actually, I happen to be meeting someone, too.
04:42Do you have to do it right here?
04:44It's public street, so I'm pretty sure that means we can share the sidewalk.
04:50I'm supposed to meet this girl I've been texting.
04:52Poor thing's going through a rough breakup.
04:59Drama Queen 2020?
05:00Stop Shop 239.
05:01Oh, man.
05:02What?
05:03This is epic.
05:04This is a mistake.
05:05Look, forget about everything.
05:06You can even keep the money.
05:07Oh, no, no, no.
05:08It's not easy.
05:09Please.
05:10Don't tell Jake about this.
05:11Okay.
05:12I won't tell him.
05:13And I'll do you one better.
05:15I'll be your fake boyfriend.
05:18What?
05:21What?
05:22That's why you're in the app, right?
05:23I just wanted to hire someone for a day to make Jake jealous.
05:27Great.
05:28I'm in.
05:29No.
05:30Look, we can't do that.
05:31He's your brother.
05:32Who also happens to be a massive jerk for what he did to you?
05:34I mean, I can't believe he cheated on you.
05:37No one's going to believe that you're actually dating me.
05:40Yeah.
05:41Everyone knows you don't do relationships.
05:43Maybe I'm full of surprises.
05:45No.
05:46Forget it.
05:47Look, I'll find someone else.
05:48Look, you're not going to do better than going out with Jake's older, charming, and much hotter brother.
05:54Come on.
05:55You want to make him jealous, and I want to teach him a lesson.
05:57It's a win-win.
05:58Hmm?
06:02Fine.
06:03But we follow my plan.
06:04No improvising.
06:05Yes, ma'am.
06:08So, when exactly are we going to do this?
06:10Tomorrow night.
06:11That's his birthday party.
06:13Exactly.
06:14That's his birthday party.
06:16Exactly.
06:17Well, you're definitely full of surprises.
06:21Will you please answer the question?
06:25Jeez, take it easy.
06:27I hired you to be my boyfriend.
06:30Remember?
06:31You have to know how we got together in case anyone asks.
06:33Okay, okay, yeah.
06:34What was the question?
06:36Where did we go on our first date?
06:38Um...
06:40We had a magical night at the movies.
06:44Do people even go to the movies anymore?
06:46Yes, they do.
06:47Isn't that kind of lame?
06:48It's not lame, it's believable.
06:51No, what we need is an epic love story to blow everyone's mind.
06:58What epic love story?
07:00We've been dating for like a week.
07:03Well...
07:05Haven't you ever heard of love at first sight?
07:09Haven't you ever heard of love at first sight?
07:12I've known you for two years, Damon.
07:15Fine, love at second sight.
07:18Look, I just don't want this to blow up in my face because of one misstep.
07:22I'm getting Jake back.
07:24He cheated on you.
07:25It was a mistake.
07:26Besides, I put too much in this relationship just to throw it away.
07:29Wow.
07:30How romantic.
07:31You just don't understand the value of being in a committed relationship.
07:34Real relationships never work.
07:37That's why I'm on the app.
07:39With the fake relationships, I can enjoy it all without any disappointment.
07:46How romantic.
07:48Uh, well, I gotta go.
07:51I've got hockey practice before the party tonight.
07:54Wait, we haven't even gone over my favorite hobbies yet.
07:56How about you drop the plan and just see where the night takes you?
08:00Ever heard of the risk worth taking?
08:02Ever heard of don't mess with a good thing?
08:04Look, I'll follow your lead tonight, but you need to loosen up.
08:08I mean, have some fun.
08:10When was the last time you had fun, Claire?
08:12I have plenty of fun.
08:14Yeah?
08:15Yeah, that's fun.
08:16That's almost too fun.
08:19Can't wait to see that later tonight.
08:27Nope.
08:28No more of that.
08:30Didn't realize you're an expert in makeup now.
08:33What I mean is you don't need any makeup.
08:35You already look amazing with that.
08:37You can save the theatrics for now.
08:39We're not at the party yet.
08:40No, I'm serious.
08:41You look beautiful.
08:43You always do.
08:46I guess I'm just nervous.
08:48Don't worry.
08:49I'll be by your side the whole night.
08:51I promise.
08:52You shouldn't have to work so hard for Jake anyway.
08:54I mean, you're already way out of his league.
08:56Okay, now I know you're joking.
08:58When you guys first started dating, I couldn't believe my brother's luck.
09:02I mean, you're ridiculously smart.
09:06You started all the school plays, got every solo and chorus.
09:09You still have time for math leads.
09:11I can't believe you know all that.
09:15I always thought you just ignored me.
09:17You're my little brother's girlfriend.
09:19I had to keep my distance, but I still paid attention.
09:23You know, when you drop the whole too cool for school act,
09:26you're actually a pretty decent guy.
09:28Damon Coral.
09:29Hey, careful.
09:31I have a reputation doable.
09:33No, I'm serious.
09:34I think you might actually make a great boyfriend.
09:37I mean, when you finally decide to try with someone, of course.
09:44Claire?
09:45We're here.
09:47We're here.
10:05People are looking.
10:07Why are they looking?
10:08They're looking because you're with me.
10:09When you're with me, you actually get to have some fun from them.
10:38I'm going to give this to drinks.
10:52I'll be right back.
10:53Okay, wow, wow, wow.
10:58It looks like things are heating up.
11:00I know, right?
11:01It's almost like Operation jealousy might actually work.
11:05It's almost like Operation Jealousy might actually work.
11:08Yeah, no, I was talking about you two.
11:10What?
11:10You and the town hottie?
11:12No, I mean, we're just, I don't know, pretending or actually having fun for once.
11:19You know, you two kind of look cute together.
11:21Plus, I haven't seen you smile this much in a long time.
11:25Oh my god, there he is.
11:28Oh my god, there he is.
11:29See, he can't be over me.
11:31Look at his face.
11:32Oh my gosh, is that Chelsea?
11:37So much for girl code, and I thought she was your friend.
11:43He said he'd only give his jacket to his one special girl.
11:55It's time to AF this party up!
11:57Did someone say, never have ever?
11:59Woo!
11:59Let's play.
12:04I don't think that's a good idea.
12:06Come on, it'll be fun.
12:07So wait, why don't you go first?
12:22Okay.
12:23Um, never have I ever fantasized about a teacher.
12:27Ooh, cute.
12:31Now let's see.
12:32Never have I ever been pathetic enough to crash Max's birthday party.
12:37Ooh!
12:38Okay.
12:40Ooh!
12:41Cute.
12:43Now let's see.
12:44Never have I ever been pathetic enough to crash Max's birthday party.
12:49Ooh!
12:50Never have I ever been some loser's side chick.
12:55Never have I ever been desperate enough to swoop in on someone's ex.
12:58Never have I ever cheated on someone completely out of my league.
13:02Ooh!
13:02Never have I ever slept with basically every girl in this room.
13:05Ooh!
13:05Ooh!
13:06Ooh!
13:06Ooh!
13:07Ooh!
13:07Ooh!
13:08Ooh!
13:08Ooh!
13:09Ooh!
13:09Ooh!
13:10Ooh!
13:10Ooh!
13:11Ooh!
13:12Ooh!
13:13Ooh!
13:14Ooh!
13:15Ooh!
13:16Ooh!
13:17Ooh!
13:18Ooh!
13:19Ooh!
13:20Ooh!
13:21Ooh!
13:22Ooh!
13:23Ooh!
13:24Seriously, Claire?
13:25You're gonna show up to my party just to start drama?
13:26No!
13:27I didn't do anything!
13:28It was Chelsea!
13:29Don't blame Chelsea!
13:30You're just jealous.
13:32You know what?
13:35You two deserve each other.
13:37Hey, dude.
13:39Are you okay?
13:40Cause that game was...
13:42brutal.
13:43And where did Damon run off to?
13:45I don't know.
13:46He said he was gonna be by my side the entire night, and...
13:48I thought we were...
13:50Doesn't even matter anymore.
13:53Is Claire Sanders actually...
13:55Breaking Protocol?
13:57No matter how hard I plan, or how carefully I try to put my life into this perfect little
14:02box, it all comes crashing out around me.
14:04And now, the one guy I might actually have real feelings for is off God knows where,
14:09probably setting up a new date with a girl in that stupid app.
14:13So, yeah.
14:14I'm...
14:15I'm done planning.
14:16Plans can suck it.
14:18Hey!
14:19Sorry I ran out like that.
14:20Left my phone in the car and I had to grab it to get on the app.
14:35Of course.
14:36What?
14:37Just...
14:38Wait, wait, wait.
14:39Where are you going?
14:40Home!
14:41And don't worry, I'll still write a good review for you.
14:43I wouldn't want you to miss out on any more epic dates.
14:45Hey!
14:46Talk to me.
14:47You just left me in there.
14:50I know.
14:51I'm sorry.
14:52I wasn't thinking...
14:53I don't care anymore, Damon!
14:54Look, you were right.
14:55Jake's an ass.
14:56So, the plan...
14:58This...
14:59It's over.
15:01What if I don't want it to be over?
15:04What if I don't want it to be over?
15:06You could have your pick of any girl out there.
15:09So, why don't you just get on the app and find someone else?
15:11Yeah, I got on the app.
15:13Because I wanted to delete it.
15:15What?
15:16I deactivated my account.
15:18Why would you do that?
15:20Look, I know I'm just another number.
15:21You're not just another number.
15:23Okay?
15:24You never were.
15:27I don't want a fake date with you anymore.
15:29Alright?
15:31I want...
15:33a real one.
15:37I thought you said that real relationships never work.
15:41Well, maybe I realize that...
15:44you're the risk worth taking.
15:54Come on.
16:07Slapshot 239.
16:09Pick me home.
16:11Pick me home.
16:17Are you sure I'm doing this right?
16:18Yeah.
16:19Just...
16:20make sure these two dots match.
16:22They'll make that side a little bit bigger.
16:24Okay.
16:25I am trusting the process.
16:27I'm just glad we get to go SAG together.
16:29You never got a date, right?
16:31No date.
16:32But Thaymon's really not coming?
16:34I bought him a ticket in case he changed his mind, but he won't budge.
16:37Well, that's his loss because you are about to be the best homecoming queen that we have ever seen.
16:44No way!
16:45I don't even know how I got nominated.
16:47And, of course, Jake is on the ballot because he's the only reason why our soccer team wins.
16:51I feel like the only reason I'm on there is because people want to see what Chelsea will do if I win.
16:56Knowing her, she'll probably dump a bucket of pig's blood on my head.
16:59At least she's vegan, so you know it'll be synthetic.
17:03Maybe Jake, like, campaigned for you guys to reignite something.
17:07Because I heard rumblings that him and Chelsea aren't doing too hot right now.
17:12Ooh, trouble in cheater's paradise.
17:14Shocker.
17:16Why did you even hear that, anyway?
17:18I don't even remember. You know, gossip travels.
17:23That looks pretty good.
17:25But it could also be your newfound popularity from dating Daemon.
17:28It hasn't exactly gone unnoticed that you get picked up on a motorcycle every single day.
17:33Yes, Daemon.
17:35My knight in shining armor who can't even be bothered to take his girlfriend to her school dance.
17:42I mean, at least he's hot.
17:45So hot.
17:47It's so weird that Joey didn't ask you to be his date.
17:51Um, not that weird. We haven't talked in a while.
17:54Why? I thought you were starting to dig him.
17:56As soon as I figured out that our names couldn't have one of those cool celebrity abbreviations, it was over before it began.
18:02Jay-Zoey.
18:03Joey.
18:04Joey.
18:05Absolutely not.
18:07Well, more Zoey for me.
18:10Nothing's gonna keep us apart.
18:12Oh, it's Daemon!
18:15Oh, it's Daemon!
18:17Or should I say, Clairemon.
18:19Can I call you back to finish this?
18:20Yeah, you can.
18:22Clairemon.
18:23But you better, because we need to finish this look.
18:25Okay.
18:26Bye!
18:27Hey, beautif-
18:29What's up with your eyes?
18:32It's not finished yet.
18:34You look like Amy Winehouse on a Tuesday morning.
18:36Zoey is giving me a tutorial for the dance tonight.
18:38Ah, yes.
18:40I almost forgot who I was speaking with.
18:43My sincerest apologies.
18:45Your royalness.
18:46I know how you can make it up to me.
18:49Nope.
18:50Come on, you're seriously gonna let me do this alone?
18:53You're not gonna be alone. I thought you were wrong with Zoey.
18:56Plus, if you listen very carefully, I bet you can hear Jake-
19:00Yep, there's Jake, bouncing off the walls.
19:02Dude is pumped.
19:03Yeah, because dances are super fun, and even more fun if you have a date like you do.
19:08She does.
19:09Yeah, for now.
19:10What do you mean?
19:12Chelsea's been soft ghosting him.
19:13I don't think she's that excited about the dance.
19:16Why could that be?
19:17Because yours truly got nominated and she didn't?
19:21Oh yeah, I'm sure that's it.
19:24I bet that is it.
19:26She's gonna be so pissed if I win queen for the night.
19:30She's gonna be so pissed if I win queen for the night.
19:34And then, you know, for the rest of the school year,
19:36because I would have to play in prom,
19:38and then the homecoming queen normally becomes the prom queen, and then-
19:41I seriously doubt she's thinking about this a quarter as much as you are.
19:45How could she not be?
19:48Because nobody cares about this king and queen stuff as much as you and Jake.
19:52It's lame.
19:53Easy for you to say. You got nominated all four years and didn't even show up.
19:56I get that this seems like a big deal to you now, but I promise when you get out of high school,
20:00you'll realize none of this stuff matters.
20:03Wow! And, uh, you think Chelsea has already reached this higher consciousness?
20:10No, I'm not talking about her.
20:11You know, come to think of it, if you both are so mature, maybe you should skip the dance together,
20:16get a cheese board and, you know, talk about all the super important adult stuff that actually matters.
20:24Oh, look. Someone my age is calling.
20:27I didn't mean- Claire!
20:28Bye.
20:36I need to fix this.
20:37Hey, Jake.
20:39Claire!
20:41Hey, um, thanks for picking up.
20:45Whoa. Did- did Zoe do this to you?
20:47It's a work in progress. What's up?
20:50Cool. Um, I just wanted to call you and touch base and just, you know, make sure that things don't get awkward tonight.
21:02You mean if we win?
21:04Uh, we're gonna win.
21:07Is Chelsea gonna be upset if- when we win?
21:12If, um, if she looks up from her phone long enough to notice, maybe.
21:16Aw, texting someone else?
21:19Be ashamed if she were in, like, a secret relationship. That would suck.
21:22Look, Claire.
21:24I know that I can never apologize enough for what I did, but...
21:29I really am sorry.
21:31I didn't mean to hurt you, and if I could take it back, I-I would.
21:37It's fine.
21:39It's fine. Just...
21:41At least she'll be there.
21:43Damon won't even come.
21:45Yeah, I never really understood his thing with dances. I mean, like, we always had a great time.
21:50I know.
21:51It's a chance to get, like, dressed up and have fun and make grand romantic gestures.
21:57Jinx!
21:59Don't tell anyone that I just said that.
22:04Whoa. Is that the dress that you've been saving since freshman year?
22:07Yeah.
22:08I can't believe I'll finally be able to wear it.
22:12And I can't believe this will be our first high school dance where we aren't going together.
22:20Yeah. You neither.
22:21I hope we win so we at least get one dance together.
22:30Well, how about either way we make it happen. One dance before the night's over.
22:35Deal.
22:37As long as you promise not to step on my dress like you did junior year.
22:40That was sophomore year.
22:42It was both.
22:45Fine.
22:47As long as you promise not to bust out your grandma moves.
22:50What? You mean...
22:52This one?
22:53Oh, God. My eyes! Stop it! My eyes!
23:01What? Like, you can do better?
23:03Oh, come on. Anyone can do better than whatever that was.
23:07Let's see. By all means.
23:24Oh, uh, sorry. Chelsea's calling me. I should get it.
23:29I'll see you later?
23:31Yeah, yeah. See ya.
23:49Hello?
23:51Hello?
23:53I'm just trying to show you what you're missing.
23:56Wow.
23:58You look incredible.
23:59Thanks.
24:01Are you...
24:02Are you going somewhere?
24:03Yeah, there's a cheese board with my name on it I need to get to.
24:06Look, I'm sorry about before.
24:10I know it's just a stupid dance, but it's my last homecoming and...
24:14I don't know. I really wanted you to be there.
24:16Yeah, I'm sorry too. I...
24:18I should have known how important it was to you.
24:20It's okay.
24:21How do you...
24:22How do you do this?
24:23You're getting pretty dressed up to eat a cheese board with your brother's girlfriend.
24:28If you think I'm going to let my brother have all the fun, you're crazy.
24:31Is this going to match your dress?
24:35You're coming?
24:37And you got me a corsage?
24:39Is it against the rule to bring your own crowns?
24:41I just want to make sure people know who the true king and queen are.
24:43My grandmothers are just cute.
24:46Wait, what?
24:47Nothing. Nothing.
24:49I'm just talking to myself.
24:50Okay, well how about a little less chit-chat and a little more boogie?
24:53Come on, Claire, we've got a homecoming to get to.
24:55And I, for one, am wearing my dancing shoes.
25:00Okay.
25:01This part always gets me.
25:16Yes!
25:17Yes!
25:18Yes, it is.
25:19That's so sad.
25:20Are you watching hockey right now?
25:21What?
25:22No.
25:23I mean, I'm not not watching hockey.
25:24Come on, babe.
25:25Tell me some slack.
25:26It's my birthday tomorrow.
25:27And these are two of my favorite teams.
25:28This is a classic, Damon.
25:29Anybody who's anybody who's seen this.
25:30Classics just code for old.
25:31I don't know why I bother trying to culture you.
25:34Anyway, what's the plans for tomorrow, birthday boy?
25:37Well, since I've been away for two weeks, I was thinking I could kiss your face for the
25:42first half of the day.
25:43And then, you know, we got the party.
25:44What?
25:45What?
25:46What?
25:47What?
25:48What?
25:49What?
25:50What?
25:51What?
25:52What?
25:53What?
25:54What?
25:55What?
25:56What?
25:57What?
25:58What?
25:59What?
26:00What?
26:01What?
26:02What?
26:03What?
26:04What?
26:05What?
26:06What?
26:07What?
26:08I-I completely forgot.
26:09I have a lesson now.
26:11Is this why you've gotten someone to guitar lately?
26:18Hey, my favorite student.
26:20And my favorite student's friend?
26:24We were just watching The Long Way, and we lost track of time.
26:28Oh, yes! I see you took my recommendation. Such a classic.
26:34Boyfriend.
26:36What?
26:37I'm not her friend. I'm her boyfriend.
26:39Oh, lucky guy.
26:40Who was just leaving. Bye, Demon!
26:44I mean, I can stay. I'd love to see what you two have been working so hard on lately.
26:48But no! I mean... No! No!
26:52She's right. Music is so personal. So intimate. Something to be shared between two.
26:57Or three.
26:58Oh, no. Almost never three.
27:04Young love. Such a beautiful thing.
27:07Love? Who said? I... I don't... we... I... we don't... um...
27:14Have you ever been in love?
27:16Of course. Yeah, I've been in love a bunch of times.
27:21I mean, not a... not a bunch of times. The normal amount of times.
27:26There's just a lot of pressure on when to say it.
27:30You know? There's just... there's a lot of stress, and then you don't know who should say it first,
27:33or when you should say it, or if they'll ever say it back, and...
27:38Maybe I can help you find a way to say it.
27:46Should we begin? Should we begin?
27:50Yeah.
27:51Yeah.
27:58Damon?
27:59Hey, Zoe. What's up? How are you doing?
28:02I'm good.
28:06That's awesome. I'm... I'm also good.
28:08You know, I've been away at training camp for a couple weeks. Coming home tomorrow.
28:13So, here's a funny little question for you.
28:18Claire's guitar teacher.
28:21Nico. Yeah.
28:25He's not even that good looking, like, at all.
28:26Oh, no. He's a solid 9.5, and then him playing guitar takes him to about a 12.
28:31I just think it's... it's weird. You know, we...
28:35She's doubled her lessons while I've been away, and we're watching movies they both like.
28:40Wouldn't you feel a little bit weird about your girlfriend hanging out with some
28:43guitar player multiple times a week?
28:45I thought you said he wasn't good looking.
28:47Zoe.
28:48Okay. I wouldn't feel great about it, but I'd be confident in my relationship.
28:56I would know that she really wants to be with me, and not him.
29:00I just don't get it. I mean, she's being so secretive about it. I haven't even heard her play anything.
29:06Yeah, Damon, I don't know. Don't you have any guy friends to call about this?
29:10Who am I going to talk to, Zoe? Guys don't talk about stuff.
29:13If only you knew somebody that dated Claire and knew her really, really well.
29:18Jake?
29:18Yeah. Is that weird? I mean, it can't be weirder than you calling me about this.
29:23Yeah, okay. You're right. You're good friends, though. Claire's lucky to have you on her side.
29:29Don't stress. I'm sure there's absolutely nothing to worry about.
29:32Plus, isn't it your birthday tomorrow? Focus on that.
29:36Yeah. Thanks, Zoe. I'll see you tomorrow.
29:38Hey, birthday boy.
29:51Not until tomorrow. Where's Jake?
29:52He's in the shower. He just got back from practice and he's disgusting.
29:56I was totally going to wish you a happy birthday, but I didn't have your number.
30:01Yeah, let's keep it that way.
30:03So what's on the agenda? What time am I picking you up tonight?
30:06Kidding.
30:07Obviously.
30:08Does perfect Claire have a perfect little date planned?
30:11Other than running off the guitar teacher? Probably not.
30:14Oh, that's right. She started signing with Nico.
30:17Wait, you know Nico?
30:19Yeah, I set them up. He's amazing. So, so talented. So, so talented.
30:26What do you mean you set them up?
30:28Well, she was saying a few weeks ago at the house that she's been wanting to learn. So,
30:32yeah, I don't know. I suggested Nico.
30:34Oh, great. So this is your fault. Thanks a lot. Where was I?
30:37Sitting right next to her, not listening per usual.
30:40That's not true. I listened.
30:45Whatever. Anyway, out of the kindness of my generous heart, I suggested Nico.
30:51Every girl should have a few lessons with him. He teaches you so much.
30:56I wouldn't expect your smashed hockey brain to understand.
30:59What exactly wouldn't I understand?
31:01What exactly wouldn't I understand?
31:04Music, art, culture, languages.
31:06You're not, like, afraid she's gonna ditch you for a guy she can actually have a conversation with.
31:12Are you?
31:13We have conversations, Chelsea. Is Jake out of the shower yet?
31:18Oh yeah, about what, huh? Hockey? And then hockey? Oh, of course, right. There's always hockey.
31:24Seriously though, Damon, hockey's like your one true love and it's kind of boring.
31:28I love other things.
31:30Like what?
31:31Like Claire, and I don't want her running off with some
31:35guitar playing, art culture looking snob, all right?
31:40Look, I'm not saying I'm an expert on all things Claire, but dating brothers has forced us to hang
31:48out with each other more than either of us would have liked and she's actually kind of interesting.
31:56So, maybe you should at least pretend to care about some of the things she likes.
31:59Yeah.
32:01It's actually not terrible advice.
32:04Consider it my birthday gift to you.
32:06Gee, thanks a lot.
32:08So, what are you still doing here?
32:11Go before she hires Nico to be your boyfriend at your party tomorrow.
32:16Bye.
32:17So, what are you still doing here?
32:19Go before she hires Nico to be your boyfriend at your party tomorrow.
32:23Bye.
32:24Yeah, yeah, okay, whatever.
32:25Thanks, bye.
32:38Hey, I was just gonna call you.
32:43You're all dressed up.
32:45Damon, um, I've been wanting to tell you how I feel and, and I, I, this was going to be your birthday
32:51surprise, but I just, I didn't think I could wait.
33:09You're the cream in my coffee, you're the apple of my eye, you make me want to laugh when I think I'm gonna cry, but you're the one, so there's one thing I must do.
33:23So, I have to say, I, I love you.
33:34I love you too.
33:37Moment stealer.
33:38I'm sorry, but I needed you to know it.
33:41I love you so much, Claire.
33:43And I'm sorry that I got weird earlier, but I talked to Zoe and-
33:46You talked to Zoe?
33:47Yeah, and, and she told me not to worry.
33:50And she told me that she always has your back, which I love.
33:54Love.
33:55And I talked to Chelsea.
33:56Ew, why didn't you talk to Chelsea?
33:58I don't know, she sucks.
34:00But she did say one thing that wasn't terrible.
34:03I want to make more of an effort to share your interests, Claire.
34:06I want to watch whatever you want to watch and talk about musicals.
34:10Even the old ones, I don't care.
34:12Just, no subtitles.
34:14Deal?
34:15Deal.
34:16Okay.
34:18Babe?
34:19Yeah?
34:20Do you think I could finish my song?
34:22I, I worked really hard on it.
34:24Yes, please.
34:30Blue-white baby as bright as the sky
34:34Hit it in the clouds and then we've gone so high.
34:37Meet each other one.
34:39So there's one thing I must do.
34:44I have to say, I love you.
34:49Do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do.
34:57Did you change your pillowcases?
34:59No.
35:00Claire, do not leave them there.
35:01That looks like trash.
35:04Do you have time to do a load of laundry?
35:05Not really, but yeah.
35:08Did you get the champagne?
35:10Yes.
35:10Chocolates, rose petals, massage oils, scented candles, all of that.
35:16Claire, I'm playing with you.
35:18I literally don't understand why you're freaking out right now.
35:21One, Damon's been in your room, and two, you're not a virgin.
35:24I'm a virgin to sleeping with brothers.
35:27True.
35:28That's awkward.
35:29Is there a term for that?
35:31Sleeping with brothers.
35:35Please, do not ever Google that. Ever.
35:41You're not helping. So, look, this is a big night. After tonight, that's it.
35:46What do you mean, this is it?
35:48Like, me and Damon. There's no going back.
35:51Going back to what? To Jake? Have you guys been talking or something?
35:56No. Not talking. Just... I don't know. We dated for so long, it feels like a betrayal, you know?
36:05And, plus, I know Chelsea broke up with him, so I know he's not in a good place.
36:10About time. She dragged that on long enough.
36:13What's that supposed to be?
36:15Nothing, Claire. I don't think you sleeping with your boyfriend is a betrayal. You're good.
36:20You think they'll talk about it?
36:22Oh my god, what if they compare notes?
36:24Oh god, that's so awkward.
36:26I think the only one that gets to do the comparing is you.
36:29Plus, Damon is gonna be ten times better than Jake. Think about all that experience.
36:34Why would you say that? So, I didn't even think of it like that.
36:39God, he's been with so many girls. What if he thinks I don't know what I'm doing?
36:44God, he thinks a lot. Just what I needed.
36:47That's literally not what I meant at all.
36:51Ah, it's Damon!
36:53Wish me luck.
36:55Bye.
36:56Hey.
36:57You are definitely running late, but since you are shirtless, and you probably smell good, I'll let it slide.
37:11Hey, uh, so I got some news.
37:14Bad news?
37:15No, just, uh, do you remember Natasha?
37:17Natasha, your super hot ex who ran away to, like, live off the land in Japan?
37:21Ride her bicycle across Thailand, but yeah, great. So you remember. She's back.
37:24Oh, so it's horrible news.
37:25I know we're supposed to hang tonight. Do you mind if I rain check?
37:26Do I mind if you bail to run off with a literal model who also happens to be your ex-girlfriend?
37:28Hmm. Let me think about that.
37:53I know it's a little bit weird, but I promise, she just wants to stop by, show me some pictures, and she's leaving again in like a week.
38:00Wait, wait, she's coming over to your place?
38:02Why can't you just insta-stalk her like any normal ex-boyfriend?
38:08Actually, uh, Duna. She is the literal girl version of you.
38:13That's exactly why we didn't work. Trust me, it's strictly a friend name.
38:17I don't know. I know how you guys were when you were together. You couldn't keep your hands off each other.
38:21Yeah, now I can't keep my hands off you.
38:24I'm being serious.
38:25We both have exes, Claire. Come on.
38:28Don't forget I had to watch you date my brother for two years.
38:30Don't forget I had to watch you date my brother for two years.
38:34Okay, I don't want to fight. I just, I really wanted to spend time with you tonight.
38:38I was hoping this could be our special...
38:42She's here. I gotta go.
38:43Love you.
38:53I know I said I wanted updates, but definitely did not mean in real time.
39:01Ha ha. Funny. You know what else is funny? Damon running off with his ex-girlfriend.
39:06Wow. Which one? Please don't say Natasha.
39:13Didn't she move to the Philippines?
39:16Thailand. And just for the year, sadly.
39:20Damon finally moving on must have triggered her spidey sense, and now she's returned to ruin my perfect night.
39:26Claire, she's an influencer, not a comic book villain.
39:29Same difference.
39:30Okay, Natasha's back, but that doesn't have to mean anything. Was Damon acting excited or weird?
39:36He showered.
39:38Okay. He's pretty. He does that. Anything else?
39:43I trust Damon. I don't trust her.
39:48Shit. She just posted a story. I can't look at it. She'll know.
39:52She has 80,000 followers. She's not gonna see your name.
39:56I can't look, Zoe. You look.
40:00What is it? Are they, are they kissing? Are they back together?
40:05Okay, maybe you should look at it so you can stop freaking out.
40:14Why would you have me look at that?
40:16Ugh!
40:20This is it.
40:21You're gonna get married, have two and a half kids, and have a yurt in Iceland.
40:25You know, I did hear that Reykjavik is really beautiful in springtime, actually.
40:29Again, with the not helping.
40:33This was supposed to be our biggest night of our lives. I'm allowed to be disappointed.
40:37But you're being insane. Damon loves you. He's not getting back together with Natasha.
40:42Did you see the photo?
40:44He is supposed to be drinking and snuggling with me, not her.
40:48They're not snuggling.
40:50And to be fair, you didn't tell him about this perfect night, so you can't be mad at him for not being a mind reader.
40:56You didn't tell him about this perfect night, so you can't be mad at him for not being a mind reader.
41:01What's going on? Why are you taking my side on this?
41:05Nothing's wrong with me.
41:06I'm just saying that, like, whatever.
41:09I gotta go. Don't trip. I'm sure it'll be fine.
41:26Hi.
41:27You calling from Reykjavik?
41:28What?
41:30Nothing.
41:31Where are you? I thought you were hanging out with Natasha.
41:34Uh, yeah, I was, but, you know, there's only so many pictures of Thailand a person can take.
41:38What happened?
41:40Nothing. What? Nothing.
41:42Nothing, nothing? Or something, nothing?
41:44You were right. That was a bad idea. It was stupid for me to think we could just hang as friends.
41:50She hasn't changed at all. I mean, she invited me to go to Bali with her, and she tried to kiss me.
41:56Wait. You kissed?
41:58No, no, she tried. Look, I'm really sorry, Claire. I shouldn't have put myself in that position.
42:04Did you want to kiss her?
42:05No way. Are you kidding? You're the only person I want to kiss. Like, ever.
42:10Why don't you say that to my face?
42:13Why don't you let me up? I'm outside.
42:16You're here? Wait, are you sure? I only have 700 followers.
42:21Please. You know she bought all those followers, right?
42:24What?
42:25100%. But do I see some black silk under there? I'm much more interested in that.
42:31Come on. Let me up.
42:34Keep going. Now, target zone for the tree. Punch it right for the front of the face.
42:43Palms are down. Elbows are tight. There we go.
42:47Damon's texted me, I love you three times since this morning.
42:51Who knew he'd get so mushy after sex?
42:54That's awesome.
42:56And he took me out for breakfast.
42:58Did I say that already?
42:59Like four times.
43:01Oh, well, now I guess I said it five.
43:03Anyway, could you hear that Natasha pays for her followers?
43:06How embarrassing and sad is that?
43:10Damon was talking about how...
43:12Can you turn that down?
43:15Wow. That's actually the first question you've asked me in months.
43:22Whoa, are you mad at me?
43:24Not mad. I'm just tired.
43:27Well, we can pause it. I mean...
43:29No, Claire. I'm tired of this one-sided friendship dance that we've been doing since you started dating Damon.
43:35I don't know what you're talking about.
43:36You realize that we were supposed to go to homecoming together, right?
43:39And then Damon came.
43:40And the only time you call me is to ask or talk about Damon.
43:44And now Damon's calling me to talk about you and I am tired of it.
43:48We're supposed to be best friends, right?
43:50I am your best friend.
43:51No, I'm your best friend and you've been asleep at the wheel.
43:55I am your best friend.
43:56No, I'm your best friend and you've been asleep at the wheel.
43:59Well, I'm sorry I'm talking a little too much about my boyfriend,
44:03but I don't think it's fair to say that I've been a bad friend.
44:05I mean...
44:06Well, I think a good friend would notice that their best friend
44:08has been going through something huge the past few months.
44:12Oh, my God. What? Zoe, are you okay?
44:15Yeah, I'm actually great.
44:18I've been seeing someone and it's getting pretty serious,
44:22but it's been exhausting not being able to just talk to you about it.
44:27You can talk to me about anything.
44:29This is so exciting. Who is it?
44:31It's not important.
44:32What do you mean it's not important?
44:35I want to know who stole my bestie's heart. Come on.
44:38She didn't steal anything. It just kind of happened.
44:42I didn't think we'd get along so well, but she's just perfect.
44:47Okay, so we've established it's a girl.
44:52I mean, that shrinks the pool a little,
44:54but you still haven't given me a good enough hint.
44:56Okay, maybe she's not perfect and it's just like the honeymoon phase talking.
45:01I don't know. I don't know what we are.
45:04It's like, we're dating, but we haven't put a label on it yet.
45:08What? I guess it's just like a little bit more complicated for Chelsea.
45:13What does Chelsea have to do with this?
45:16Because I'm the first girl she's ever been with.
45:19I guess it's just like a little bit more complicated for Chelsea.
45:22what does chelsea have to do with this because i'm the first girl she's ever been with
45:28hold on you're dating chelsea like like ruined my life chelsea are you kidding me we hate chelsea
45:39you know she broke up with jake and he's like devastated right okay but we don't care about
45:44jake we care about me right so you're the other woman now that's not fair especially because she
45:51wasn't even that into him i'm sorry what she weaseled into our two-year relationship because
45:56she wasn't that into him claire why are you so wrapped up in that aren't you in heaven with
46:02david because i haven't heard you shut up about him in the last three months well i'm sorry i didn't
46:07shut up long enough to hear of your disastrous plan to date the she devil herself i would have talked
46:13you out of it you don't even know her claire seems like i don't know either of you and whose fault
46:18is that listen i can tell you exactly what damon had for breakfast but as soon as i share an
46:24important detail of my love life for once you get up on your high horse and you rain judgment on
46:29everyone below you i'm over it
46:33well that went well uh oh how bad if a dumpster fire filled with fuzzy puppies was a tin
46:50then that was a 14.7 gross i'm sorry babe i know it couldn't happen easy but at least claire stopped
46:58talking long enough for you to tell her that feels like a small win i guess i don't know it's it's hard
47:05because i don't even know what i'm supposed to be telling her like i didn't say that you were my
47:08girlfriend because you and jake just broke up and i totally respect that i think after last night it's
47:15pretty safe to say you're my girlfriend zoe cool cool chelsea i really like you and i haven't been
47:26this happy with someone in a long time i just wish that claire could get her head out of her butt for
47:32five seconds to be excited for me whatever i don't need her i have you as much as i'd love to have claire
47:43out of my life forever you guys have way too much history to throw it away but that dumpster fire i was
47:48talking about yeah it's active babe i'm serious you guys have been friends forever and i'm sure
47:53you've taken your turns over the years being the needy one babe i'm serious you guys have been
47:59friends forever and i'm sure you've taken your turns over the years being the needy one
48:03yo well her 90 days have expired they're done i'm over it i've never known you to be the type to not
48:11say what's on your mind but for some reason with claire you just bottled up and it's like it's like
48:16you forgot how to stand up for yourself well she dominates every single conversation with me and
48:22damon did this and me and damon did that so you're telling me you haven't had a single chance to tell
48:27her about us or about how you were feeling or you may be holding back because you knew how she'd respond
48:32maybe claire's the one who needs to apologize but she's not the only one in the wrong
48:40why do you have to be so perfect bad habit
48:47all right let me figure this out okay call me back bye
48:54hey what's going on chelsea did i open a curse box was i a cereal
49:02killer in a past life what horrible karma am i due that chelsea exists to date everyone i love
49:08she hasn't dated me i will literally murder she hasn't dated me i will literally murder
49:14sounds like you'll be a serial killer in this life too why aren't you more bothered by this
49:19don't you feel bad for jake no do you no look she has just weaseled her way through our entire
49:26friend group and i'm sick of it i thought you guys were becoming buds didn't she set you up with
49:30miko oh yeah another way how she's ruined our lives why can't she just stay in her lane
49:36what nothing i just i hope you weren't like this with zoe
49:44i think it's cool zoe's never really had a relationship stick has she
49:48so maybe the fact that she's bringing this up to you could be something serious
49:53why'd she wait so long to tell me then maybe because she knew you're gonna act like you did
49:58okay so you think i'm the jerk no no i just i think it's maybe it's your turn to be the best
50:06friend yeah the best friend to someone who's just screamed at me zoe's literally never screamed at
50:11anyone she's the chillest person i know i'm sorry to say it babe you know i'm on your side but
50:16she's this upset i was wrong you're still very cute though and i bet you're even cuter when you

52:14afraid that you were gonna freak out which you did and i know chelsea's probably the worst person for
52:20this to happen with but if you guys just gave each other a chance i'm sure you would get along wait
