00:00:00I can't believe we made it, oh what a beautiful ride
00:00:14Look who found the, look who found the light
00:00:17Look who found the light, look who found the light
00:00:22Look who's feeling love
00:00:25Look who found the light, look who found the light
00:00:30Oh it feels so good to be us
00:00:33Thank you, have a great day
00:00:36Hi Mikayla, I made chocolate zucchini muffins again
00:00:44But what can I say, zucchini is in season
00:00:46My favourite season, these are your best
00:00:50Thank you
00:00:51But I am surprised you made this order with all the wedding hubbub happening this week
00:00:56Oh, all is calm on the wedding front
00:00:58Honestly, Jenna is the most organised person I know
00:01:01Right, but aren't you catering the wedding?
00:01:06Yeah
00:01:06But I cook for hundreds of people every lunch hour out of my food truck
00:01:11So how hard can it be?
00:01:13Kiki, this is your sister's wedding
00:01:16Jenna, you know the one who eats and breathes perfection
00:01:19Right, yeah
00:01:22Well, I've almost finished up on the menu here
00:01:25And you know, I'm sure that Jenna and Andrew are going to love it
00:01:28I am sure too
00:01:29But just in case you need something special
00:01:31Just give me a ring
00:01:32And I will open up for you after hours
00:01:35Thank you, I really appreciate that
00:01:37But I think I should be fine
00:01:39Okay, I've got to run
00:01:41But I'll see you soon
00:01:42No, sorry
00:01:44She seems in a hurry
00:01:54So I'll take that
00:01:56And then, uh, a dozen of whatever smells so good
00:02:00And there you go
00:02:03Thank you
00:02:04That's fresh chocolate zucchini muffins
00:02:07You just bumped into the chef
00:02:08The past is far behind us
00:02:11The future's shining and bright
00:02:13Look who found the, look who found the light
00:02:16It almost doesn't feel real
00:02:18Like in four days, I'll be married?
00:02:20Yes!
00:02:21Yes!
00:02:22Cheers to that!
00:02:24Okay, so Jenna
00:02:25Be honest
00:02:27When you and Andrew were dating in high school
00:02:29Did you ever think that one day you two would be getting married?
00:02:33Yeah, of course she did
00:02:34She had Mrs. Jenna Clarington scribbled on every single one of her binders
00:02:39I did not
00:02:40Oh, come on
00:02:42Oh, I totally remember that
00:02:43Oh, come on, Jenna, you cannot deny that
00:02:45But look how far you guys have come
00:02:47I mean, we should all be so lucky to marry our best friend from high school
00:02:51I still have so many balls in the air
00:02:53I just hope everything falls into place
00:02:55Of course it will
00:02:56I mean, you've planned this whole thing
00:02:58So now you just get to sit back, relax, and enjoy yourself
00:03:01Speaking of enjoyment
00:03:04You do have a few more days to find a date
00:03:07Oh, no
00:03:08Oh, come on
00:03:10Any guy would be lucky to date you
00:03:12Thank you
00:03:15But seriously
00:03:17We did finalize the seating chart
00:03:19We saved one spot just in case
00:03:21Just saying
00:03:22I am fine on my own, okay?
00:03:26It's just
00:03:26Look, I'm catering this wedding
00:03:27So I don't have any time to be spending with a date
00:03:31Well, you better find some time to shake it with me on the dance floor after dinner
00:03:35Oh, I have been practicing my dance moves
00:03:38Just need to make sure that I have enough energy at the end of the night
00:03:42Kiki, is everything okay with the catering?
00:03:46Of course
00:03:47Well, cooking is my favorite thing to do for our family
00:03:51Yeah, but cooking for us on Sunday dinner is one thing
00:03:55I mean, catering an entire wedding
00:03:57That's a lot of pressure
00:03:59I wouldn't have it any other way
00:04:02Okay
00:04:06Well, I can't wait to taste what you cook up
00:04:08Me too
00:04:09Andrew and I know it's going to be amazing
00:04:12Oh, well, thanks for the vote of confidence in there
00:04:15Oh, just give me
00:04:17Who would they be calling?
00:04:18One sec
00:04:18Hello?
00:04:20Yeah
00:04:20No, no, look
00:04:22I need the salmon delivered by Friday
00:04:24Kiki, you're missing all the fun
00:04:27Okay, yeah, I'll be right there
00:04:29Oh, you've got to be kidding me
00:04:34What's going on out there?
00:04:35Ugh, it's just Josh trying to do some recon for Andrew
00:04:39Don't worry, I won't tell him anything
00:04:41Aren't the groomsmen supposed to be having a lunch to welcome the best man?
00:04:45Live in the moment, Josh
00:04:46I can't come to the phone right now
00:04:48Please leave a message
00:04:50Unbelievable
00:04:51In high school, my sisters would ask my opinion on prom dresses all the time
00:04:55You think I wanted to answer them?
00:04:56But I did
00:04:56And now, nothing
00:04:58It's like I've been shut out
00:05:00Sounds like you're being punished there, pal
00:05:02Hey, thanks for doing some recon for me, though
00:05:04Appreciate it
00:05:05I haven't been around the family for that long
00:05:06But even I know those sisters are always together
00:05:08All for one, right?
00:05:10Well, you've certainly lifted Sherry's spirits over the last few weeks
00:05:12And a happy Sherry is a happy life for all of us
00:05:15Hey, there he is
00:05:17Hey
00:05:18Andrew, buddy, so good to see you
00:05:21Hey, the best man
00:05:22Yeah, best wingman
00:05:24Since what?
00:05:26Grade school?
00:05:26That's right, yeah
00:05:27Clay, this is Evan
00:05:29How you doing, man?
00:05:30And this is Josh
00:05:31Hey, it's great to meet you
00:05:32I've heard a lot
00:05:32That is a total lie
00:05:34I've heard nothing
00:05:35Well, you guys being taken care of?
00:05:37Because I have connections
00:05:38Clay is being modest
00:05:40But he is, in fact, the executive chef and owner of this restaurant
00:05:43Okay
00:05:44Anyways, what's the plan for the bachelor party?
00:05:47No plans
00:05:48Andrew thought it might be fun just to catch up for a while, yeah?
00:05:51Yeah
00:05:51Come on, we've got to do something, right?
00:05:53It's tradition
00:05:53You know, I'm not so much of a fan of the traditional stag
00:05:56But if you want to throw something together, I'm sure we could squeeze it in
00:05:59Okay
00:06:00Is that mischief I see, Evan?
00:06:02On this face?
00:06:03I'm calling them again, and they're going to pick up this time
00:06:06You're relentless
00:06:07You are not getting a peek at the dress
00:06:10I'm not calling for that
00:06:12Really?
00:06:13Not this time
00:06:14I just wanted you to know that you have a stand-up boyfriend
00:06:16He's planning a bachelor party for Andrew
00:06:18Oh, is he?
00:06:21Okay, you guys ready out there?
00:06:22Oh, I guess since I'm already on the call
00:06:24You might as well let me see Jenna for one minute
00:06:26No
00:06:27Okay, no, that is perfect
00:06:29Yeah, I will call you later
00:06:31Alright, this party is for sisters only
00:06:34No, no, no, don't be mean
00:06:35Come on
00:06:36Love you, bye
00:06:36Oh, it's Angie
00:06:40Hmm
00:06:41Hey
00:06:43How's it going?
00:06:44Can't believe I'm not there
00:06:45But Rory and Gina have teacher conferences this morning
00:06:48No, it's okay
00:06:49You know, you were here when she bought it
00:06:50Yeah, and at the 20 other stores
00:06:52Until she found the one
00:06:54Okay, you guys ready?
00:06:59Well
00:06:59What do you think?
00:07:03Oh, stunning, stunning
00:07:05Oh, it's gorgeous
00:07:05Stunning, stunning
00:07:07So gorgeous
00:07:08It's real
00:07:11It's really happening
00:07:13I'm getting married
00:07:15Yeah, you are
00:07:17I just wish my mom
00:07:19Was here to see this
00:07:20I'm sure she's watching
00:07:22And smiling down on you
00:07:23You're my mom too, Angie
00:07:26I'm so lucky to have you all
00:07:29We're all here for you
00:07:31Always
00:07:32There's nothing I can do
00:07:35To change the past
00:07:36That's right
00:07:37So let's focus on
00:07:38That bright future of yours
00:07:39Well, I have some serious
00:07:41Flower prep to do
00:07:42So, uh, I'll see you soon, my hearts
00:07:44Bye
00:07:45Bye
00:07:45Bye
00:07:46Oh, well, I
00:07:48I'll see you at the house
00:07:50It's just something I've got to figure out first
00:07:52Kiki
00:07:53I'll be there as soon as I can, okay?
00:07:56I love you
00:07:57I love you
00:07:57Bye
00:07:58Don't work too hard
00:07:59You must be able to get salmon
00:08:05From another supplier
00:08:06No, no
00:08:08It has to be salmon, okay?
00:08:09It's the bride's favorite
00:08:10And I need this wedding dinner
00:08:12To be memorable
00:08:13And meaningful
00:08:14Okay, well
00:08:16If you can't get it
00:08:17I'll just
00:08:18I'll just have to think
00:08:19Of something else
00:08:19Oh, wow
00:08:26These look amazing
00:08:29Oh, thank you so much
00:08:32For everything you're doing
00:08:33For the wedding
00:08:34I wouldn't be here without you
00:08:37Well, supporting you
00:08:40Nurturing you
00:08:42Watching you bloom on your own
00:08:44It's been an absolute joy
00:08:46Of being your foster mom
00:08:47Angie, there's something
00:08:53I wanted to ask you
00:08:54Would you walk me down the aisle?
00:09:00It'd really mean a lot to me
00:09:01To have you by my side
00:09:02Like you've always been
00:09:04I would love to
00:09:07Oh, Jenna
00:09:09Sorry
00:09:14I don't know why I keep tearing up today
00:09:17Oh, honey
00:09:18This is one of the biggest events
00:09:20Of your life
00:09:20It's bound to bring up
00:09:21A lot of feelings
00:09:22I just wasn't expecting
00:09:25I'd miss my mom so much
00:09:26You know?
00:09:30There's something
00:09:31I've been meaning to give you
00:09:32I was gonna save this
00:09:40For your wedding day
00:09:41But I think this might connect you
00:09:43To the something old
00:09:45It came with you
00:09:48In that big box
00:09:49When you arrived at the house
00:09:50All those years ago
00:09:51Oh, wow
00:09:53It's beautiful
00:09:55I believe it was your mother's
00:09:59I don't remember it
00:10:03But it's lovely
00:10:06What's this?
00:10:09Is that my mom?
00:10:18Look how young she is
00:10:1919 or 20, I'd say
00:10:22Look at her smile
00:10:25Beautiful
00:10:26And she's with a very handsome young man
00:10:29I've never seen this picture before
00:10:32I look so happy
00:10:34Jen, are you okay?
00:10:42I didn't know that photo
00:10:43Would be in there
00:10:44No, yeah
00:10:45I just haven't thought
00:10:48About my father in years
00:10:49But he clearly hasn't
00:10:52Thought of me either
00:10:53So
00:10:54I have a great family now
00:10:58My chosen family
00:11:01You sure do
00:11:03Okay
00:11:14No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
00:11:19Can I give you a hand?
00:11:20There
00:11:20Sure you got a hand to spare?
00:11:23Always do
00:11:24Just takes a little rebalancing
00:11:26Okay
00:11:27There
00:11:28Thank you
00:11:30Yeah, um
00:11:32Yeah, I promised Andrew
00:11:34I'd drop this off
00:11:35It's you from the market
00:11:36Your chocolate and zucchini combination
00:11:38Was great
00:11:39You have a real gift
00:11:40Thank you
00:11:41Wait until you try my pizza
00:11:44Is that
00:11:48That's takeout from 7 Basil?
00:11:50Yeah
00:11:51Well, that's fancy
00:11:53I didn't even think
00:11:54Restaurants like that did takeout
00:11:55Well, when you own the place
00:11:57They let you bend the rules
00:11:58From time to time
00:11:59You own 7 Basil
00:12:03Yeah, I'm, uh, I'm Clay
00:12:04I'm the best man
00:12:05I'm Kiki
00:12:07Oh, you're Jenna's sister
00:12:08Yeah, yeah, yeah
00:12:09I've heard so much about you
00:12:10You're catering the wedding, right?
00:12:12Well, I, I own a restaurant
00:12:13It's a food truck
00:12:16But, um, well
00:12:17Currently I'm specializing
00:12:18Pizza?
00:12:22Oh, here
00:12:23Why don't you hand me that?
00:12:24Oh
00:12:25After you
00:12:27I have to say
00:12:33I'm curious to see
00:12:33How a food truck chef
00:12:35Is gonna serve
00:12:35A hundred people appetizers
00:12:36And a formal plated dinner
00:12:38Uh-huh
00:12:39Well
00:12:40We'll see
00:12:41Won't we?
00:12:42Oh, I didn't mean anything by that
00:12:43Food's here
00:12:44Oh
00:12:44It's Andrew
00:12:48He wants me to meet him
00:12:49In an hour
00:12:50Oh
00:12:51That's too bad
00:12:52I was gonna ask
00:12:53If you would mentor me
00:12:54Oh, well
00:12:55I would totally do that
00:12:57I'm kidding
00:12:58I got this
00:13:01Okay, well, uh
00:13:03Consider it an open invitation
00:13:04Oh, smells amazing
00:13:07Hey, Angie
00:13:08Yes
00:13:08Hi, nice to finally meet you
00:13:10Indeed
00:13:10This is Clay
00:13:11He can't stay
00:13:12Because Andrew calls
00:13:14Well, groom takes priority
00:13:16Over Sunday's supper
00:13:17This week, at least
00:13:18Yes
00:13:18I'll, uh
00:13:23Call me if you need me
00:13:24Thanks
00:13:26I will
00:13:28Oh, he seems nice
00:13:30And he brought food
00:13:31Winning combination
00:13:32Hmm
00:13:33He's something, all right
00:13:35I brought your favorite
00:13:37Oh, yes
00:13:38Oh, my gosh
00:13:39And then
00:13:44He just dropped his
00:13:44Five-star takeout
00:13:45And took off
00:13:46Okay, uh
00:13:47I'm not sure
00:13:49What I'm supposed to be
00:13:50Mad about
00:13:51That takeout was pretty good
00:13:52Pretty good?
00:13:54It was great
00:13:56But I have been
00:13:58Test cooking for hours
00:13:59And now
00:14:00The dinner I wanted to do
00:14:01For Jenna's wedding
00:14:02Isn't gonna turn out
00:14:03The way I wanted it to
00:14:04And I have three days
00:14:05To come up with
00:14:06A whole new menu
00:14:07And game plan
00:14:08So it's the catering
00:14:10That's the problem
00:14:11I've never catered
00:14:13For a hundred people
00:14:13Before
00:14:14And I definitely
00:14:15Don't need someone
00:14:16Judging me
00:14:17Kiki
00:14:19He's also just a person
00:14:20And he seems
00:14:22Like a really nice guy
00:14:23Yeah
00:14:26I suppose
00:14:27Kiki
00:14:29If anyone can do this
00:14:30It's you
00:14:31And I think
00:14:33That Clay would be
00:14:34A great industry contact
00:14:35Just think about
00:14:36What Angie would say
00:14:37Be true to yourself
00:14:38But don't be afraid
00:14:39To ask for some help
00:14:40I know
00:14:43And he is
00:14:45A great resource
00:14:45It's just
00:14:49I know
00:14:50He is way
00:14:52Too good looking
00:14:53No
00:14:55I mean
00:14:55Yes he is
00:14:57But
00:14:57What I was going to say
00:14:59Is
00:14:59I feel awkward
00:15:02Asking anyone for help
00:15:05Well
00:15:06If you're going to ask anyone
00:15:08Might as well be the cute guy
00:15:09Very funny
00:15:10Well I guess I better get going
00:15:15Well can you just please promise me one thing
00:15:20Please try and get some sleep tonight
00:15:24Thank you
00:15:26For trying to keep me balanced
00:15:29You're welcome
00:15:31I think
00:15:32See you soon
00:15:35Me now
00:15:35He's insisting
00:15:42I told him I didn't need a bachelor party
00:15:44Sounds like Evan's just trying to support you
00:15:47Knowing him
00:15:49He's probably just going to want to go to a workout class
00:15:51Or do push-ups all night
00:15:52He's just trying to get to know you better
00:15:55He's making an effort to be a part of the family
00:15:57Yeah
00:15:58I guess so
00:15:59Come on
00:16:00Just go out
00:16:01Embrace the fun
00:16:03You're only going to get married once
00:16:05You're right about that
00:16:07Sorry
00:16:12Oh would you look who it is
00:16:17Hello mother
00:16:19Andrew
00:16:20I'm so glad you picked up
00:16:22Look I was chatting with Betty at yoga this week
00:16:26And since your brother can't come because of the big Hong Kong deal
00:16:30I sort of invited her to the wedding
00:16:34Mom we've been over this
00:16:36Jenna and I have already finalized the guest list
00:16:38I'm so sorry
00:16:39I thought with John not coming
00:16:41Betty could take his spot
00:16:42Mom I really appreciate your opinions
00:16:44Oh come on
00:16:45Jenna and I have everything organized and under control over here
00:16:48Andrew
00:16:49I want you to have the most special day
00:16:52I have some ideas for the mother-son dance
00:16:56Mom
00:16:56Uh uh uh
00:16:57There are traditions to be honored
00:17:00We can talk about this dance another time
00:17:03Okay
00:17:03What about Jenna's family traditions
00:17:06Are they being honored?
00:17:08Look whatever Jenna wants to do is how we're going to do it
00:17:13Okay end of discussion
00:17:14This is Jenna's day
00:17:16Don't forget that
00:17:16Of course
00:17:18I understand
00:17:20It's going to be a wonderful day
00:17:22Bye dear
00:17:24Okay bye
00:17:25I'm gonna get some air
00:17:28Oh Jenna I'm so sorry
00:17:31Jenna
00:17:31Well she was fine until my mother called
00:17:41And I know my mom can be very opinionated
00:17:44Which has been hard on Jenna
00:17:46I should not let her change the mother-son dance
00:17:49Well I think this is less about you and your mom
00:17:52And more about Jenna
00:17:53You think she still wants to go ahead with the wedding?
00:17:56I don't doubt it for a minute
00:17:58Leave it to me
00:17:59I'm gonna make a few calls
00:18:01I think I might know how to help Jenna find what she's looking for
00:18:05Thank you Angie
00:18:06Kiki
00:18:30Fancy meeting you here
00:18:34Mmm
00:18:34Well I could say the same
00:18:37Don't you have people that deliver your produce for you?
00:18:41Yeah well when I can I like to come and pick out the fresh local ingredients for the evening's menu myself
00:18:47Oh
00:18:47Or the strawberries
00:18:49Uh surprisingly sweet actually for this time of year
00:18:53But the dessert I wanted to do for the wedding might actually work out as planned
00:18:59Well that's great to hear
00:19:00And um
00:19:01So how's everything shaping up for you for Saturday?
00:19:05Um
00:19:06It's coming along
00:19:08Just a few months along the road but
00:19:11Nothing that I can't handle
00:19:14Well you're very brave
00:19:15I wouldn't take on this catering job myself
00:19:19Really?
00:19:21But Andrew's your best friend and
00:19:24You wouldn't cook for him on his wedding day
00:19:26Yeah that's exactly the reason why not
00:19:28So it's beneath you then?
00:19:30No no no no
00:19:31I just um
00:19:32I just want to be there on the big day
00:19:34Not working the big day
00:19:35Well cooking isn't work to me
00:19:38Oh that's true but it's really
00:19:40It's a lot of time
00:19:41Yeah but time spent doing something wonderful for Jenna
00:19:43Yeah but no one remembers an appetizer
00:19:46They remember
00:19:46How they felt and who was there
00:19:49So I just you know I just want to be there
00:19:52Standing next to my best friend
00:19:54Well I will be there
00:19:56Nourishing my family
00:19:58I think it's an honor to cook for my sister at her wedding
00:20:02And it is I just
00:20:03You don't have to do it
00:20:05I want to
00:20:06Okay
00:20:07Okay
00:20:08Look Jenna asked me and
00:20:10I won't let her down
00:20:12I hope not
00:20:13Oh are these the wise and supportive words of a mentor
00:20:17No
00:20:17Uh huh
00:20:18Talking me out of doing a job
00:20:20Disappointing my family
00:20:21No no no
00:20:21It's not what I meant
00:20:23I'm just I'm just trying to be
00:20:24Realistic and practical here
00:20:26And
00:20:26You don't know me
00:20:27Or what I'm capable of
00:20:29I guess not
00:20:31Well
00:20:32Great pep talk
00:20:34So I guess I'll see you at the wedding
00:20:36Kiki I
00:20:37I'm just really excited to get in there and use that industrial oven
00:20:45Sorry what?
00:20:50Okay but
00:20:51Surely you can have someone come in and fix it before then
00:20:54Okay well could you
00:20:57Could you have another one brought in?
00:21:00No I don't have one
00:21:01Just
00:21:02Okay well
00:21:04If there's no replacement
00:21:06I'll just
00:21:06I'll just have to come up with something else
00:21:08Okay
00:21:10No
00:21:11A stove top is not gonna cut it
00:21:13I'm afraid
00:21:14I
00:21:14What would be helpful is a
00:21:16Functioning oven
00:21:17Okay yeah
00:21:18Thanks
00:21:19Thanks for your help
00:21:20Hello
00:21:31Hi Cynthia it's Angie calling
00:21:33Angie it's been a bit since we've caught up
00:21:37Tell me about Rory
00:21:38Has he settled in?
00:21:40Rory's thriving now
00:21:41And he's doing well in school
00:21:42He's even on the track team
00:21:43Seems you're working your Angie magic again
00:21:46Well I certainly never give up
00:21:47I'm actually not calling you about Rory
00:21:50Uh it's about my Jenna
00:21:52You placed her with me about 20 years ago
00:21:55After her mom passed
00:21:56Mmhmm
00:21:57That's when you and I met
00:21:59You called because you saw a lost girl
00:22:01Sitting on a bench
00:22:01Your instincts were right
00:22:03She's getting married this weekend
00:22:05That's wonderful
00:22:06The wedding has brought up some issues about her past
00:22:10And I was wondering if you had any information about her father
00:22:13Hmm
00:22:13Let's see
00:22:15There's not much here
00:22:19Just his name
00:22:22Theo Whitaker
00:22:24Theo
00:22:26Last known address?
00:22:28Well there's nothing in the computer
00:22:30But uh
00:22:31Let me find you a paper file
00:22:32One sec
00:22:34Whitaker
00:22:40Whitaker
00:22:41Ah
00:22:42Here it is
00:22:44Good thing we never get rid of any paperwork over here
00:22:48Let's see
00:22:50Well her parents separated when she was three
00:22:54He awarded Jane the mother full custody
00:22:56And relocated out of state
00:22:59Seems he kept up child support payments until she was ten
00:23:02Then they appear to be disrupted
00:23:04That's not great
00:23:06It's not totally unusual
00:23:07You know personally
00:23:10I remember that Jane was very protective of Jenna
00:23:13Jane also didn't come to us until she was quite sick
00:23:16It's possible her illness was affecting her thinking
00:23:19Well that could explain why she didn't reach out to Theo
00:23:22Definitely
00:23:23Maybe she didn't really know what to do
00:23:25No wonder Jenna has questions
00:23:27When Jane passed away
00:23:30The caseworker tried to track down Theo
00:23:31And looked for other family
00:23:33But didn't find anyone
00:23:34Well everything's online now
00:23:37Maybe I'll have better luck
00:23:38Thanks Cynthia
00:23:39I have a few contacts that might be able to help as well
00:23:43I'm quite resourceful you know
00:23:45How's Kiki doing?
00:23:48Oh you know her
00:23:48Taking on too much but loving every minute of it
00:23:51Oh I know
00:23:52She's one of the best stories we've had
00:23:54The agency found her such a loving family when she was a toddler
00:23:57Then after what happened
00:23:59I was so glad that we could place her with you
00:24:01I hope everything goes well with Jenna
00:24:04And the wedding
00:24:05I'll let you know how it goes
00:24:07Please do
00:24:09Oh is it now?
00:24:21Hello?
00:24:23Hey Kiki's
00:24:23Where are you?
00:24:25I'm at home prepping everything
00:24:27Uh are you coming to our spa day?
00:24:30We're gonna do mani pedis
00:24:31Oh Jenna I'm so sorry
00:24:34I completely forgot
00:24:36You forgot?
00:24:39I'm kidding
00:24:40Don't beat yourself up
00:24:42Sherry and I will have all the fun
00:24:43But we'll miss you
00:24:45Hi Kiki
00:24:46Well I really appreciate everything you're doing for Andrew and me
00:24:49Are you sure it wasn't too much of an ask to have you do the food?
00:24:53Absolutely not
00:24:54I'm happy to be part of your special day
00:24:57And I will only be happier when we are on that dance floor together
00:25:01Ha I hear ya
00:25:02If only we could just skip over this next little bit and get to the dance floor
00:25:07Skip the wedding?
00:25:11Oh no
00:25:12I just mean um
00:25:14There are a lot of parts and pieces that haven't fallen into place yet
00:25:18I have a lot on my mind
00:25:20Well um
00:25:22You don't have anything to worry about in terms of food
00:25:25You know everything is under control
00:25:27Okay
00:25:29Is there anything else
00:25:32I can help you with?
00:25:35I doubt it
00:25:36Look Jenna
00:25:37I know that things are crazy right now
00:25:40But just
00:25:41Just think about that moment
00:25:42When you're in your wedding dress
00:25:44And Andrew sees you for the first time
00:25:47And
00:25:47Standing at the altar about to marry your best friend
00:25:50I mean that's what it's all about right?
00:25:54Yeah
00:25:54Yeah you're right
00:25:56Thanks Kiki
00:25:58You're my rain sunshine
00:25:59Well anytime
00:26:01You know what and
00:26:03Send me some pics of your nails okay
00:26:05I'll just
00:26:05I'll try not to be too jealous
00:26:07Deal
00:26:07Okay
00:26:14Interesting question
00:26:23No uh
00:26:24No I don't think Andrew's much of a karaoke guy
00:26:26Oh I'm sorry
00:26:27Uh Evan I gotta call you back
00:26:34Thank you for meeting with me
00:26:39Hey I'm sorry about
00:26:42What I said back at the food market
00:26:44I didn't mean to offend you
00:26:46I appreciate that
00:26:49Look I might have been feeling a little
00:26:53Sensitive that day
00:26:55Thank you
00:26:59So is there a
00:27:01Particular reason that you wanted to meet me
00:27:03And buy me a coffee?
00:27:04Um
00:27:07Catering a 100 person formal event
00:27:13Is
00:27:14It's proving to be out of my comfort zone
00:27:18Just everything I planned and prepped for is
00:27:23Is falling apart at the seams
00:27:25So you need help
00:27:27I need this wedding to be perfect
00:27:30Because that is what Jenna deserves
00:27:32Okay
00:27:33Well let me connect you to some people I know
00:27:36Who cater big events
00:27:37No I can do this
00:27:38I need to do this
00:27:40You're stubborn
00:27:41Dedicated
00:27:42All right well
00:27:44Talk to me Kiki
00:27:46Because
00:27:47I can't help if I don't understand
00:27:49Cooking
00:27:54It's
00:27:54It's what I know
00:27:57It's how I express myself
00:28:00And
00:28:01My love for others
00:28:03I grew up in the foster care system
00:28:12But before you
00:28:12Start feeling sorry for me
00:28:14I
00:28:14I was really lucky
00:28:16And I ended up with a really loving family
00:28:19They gave me a lot
00:28:22But
00:28:25I didn't have much I could give back
00:28:28Except I
00:28:31I could cook
00:28:32I could bring a
00:28:35Smile to my foster dad's face
00:28:37With a cookie
00:28:37Or make
00:28:38Make Angie feel better
00:28:40With a
00:28:40Pot of chicken noodle soup
00:28:42That
00:28:44Probably sounds silly
00:28:46No no no
00:28:47It makes
00:28:47Makes a lot of sense actually
00:28:49Food is caring
00:28:51I get that
00:28:52I can't let my family down
00:28:54I need to do this
00:28:58Okay
00:28:58Well in that case
00:29:01Kiki just
00:29:02Just tell me what you need
00:29:04Okay
00:29:06Cheers
00:29:10Cheers
00:29:13So this is the original menu
00:29:18But with no salmon
00:29:19And no industrial ovens now
00:29:21Things have had to change
00:29:23And I've been
00:29:24I've been trying to adapt this one
00:29:26But just
00:29:26Just nothing seems to work
00:29:28We've got some good ideas here
00:29:29Big ideas
00:29:30This is way too complicated
00:29:32Without a working oven on site
00:29:33Well Angie has two stoves at the house
00:29:37So I could prep all the main course protein there
00:29:39And oh it's only 20 minutes from the venue
00:29:4120 minutes is a lifetime in food service
00:29:44I could offer up my industrial ovens
00:29:48They're bigger and hotter than Angie's
00:29:50But we're still 40 minutes from the venue here
00:29:51So I don't think that helps you either
00:29:52No
00:29:54Thank you
00:29:55Thank you but
00:29:56No
00:29:57Well
00:29:58Cannot be a chef
00:30:01And a roast beef taxi driver
00:30:02Well actually
00:30:04I'm probably going to be doing prime rib
00:30:05Who's helping you with this?
00:30:09No one
00:30:09I just need to prep as much as I can
00:30:12If I can get the timing perfect
00:30:13Then all I have to worry about is
00:30:15Plating the food
00:30:16And the servers will take care of everything else
00:30:18Alright well let's say that you do manage to pull that off
00:30:20But between the prep
00:30:22The cooking
00:30:22And then the travel to Angie's
00:30:24There is no way that you can be at the ceremony
00:30:26Ceremony
00:30:28I didn't think about that
00:30:32Don't you want to be there to watch your sister actually get married?
00:30:35Of course
00:30:36But I'm sure there will be lots of photos and video
00:30:40Kiki
00:30:41You got to look at the bigger picture here
00:30:44What you were trying to do for your sister
00:30:46It's admirable
00:30:48And I know it comes from nothing but love
00:30:51But what you want to do with dinner
00:30:53This takes a village
00:30:55Well I don't have a village
00:30:57I have me
00:30:59Look I'm good
00:31:02I'm quick
00:31:03And I will do whatever it takes
00:31:04And I am not questioning your talent
00:31:07That's not what this is about
00:31:08This is just about timing
00:31:11And manpower and finesse
00:31:13Here I want to show you something
00:31:17We're creating a new dish for the menu tonight
00:31:23All head chefs have sous chefs
00:31:26Technically we could do it alone
00:31:28But we don't
00:31:28And the food is better for it
00:31:29How are we looking?
00:31:31Ready chef?
00:31:32Let's get a little more salt on that lamb
00:31:36It's juice
00:31:41Delicious
00:31:42Is that cinnamon?
00:31:43Yeah
00:31:43Really?
00:31:47Thank you chef
00:31:48All right beautiful work everyone
00:31:55Thank you so much
00:31:57Have a great service tonight
00:31:58Have a great time tonight
00:31:59And say hi to Crystal
00:32:00I will I will thank you
00:32:01After you
00:32:04So what'd you think of my team?
00:32:12Okay
00:32:12You may be on to something
00:32:15Sheer determination alone may not cut it
00:32:19And that's just for one dish
00:32:21Okay
00:32:22Fine this is me waving my stubborn little white flag
00:32:26Will you help me simplify these dishes and make them actually doable?
00:32:32I'd love to
00:32:33But I actually have to get going
00:32:36I've got a reservation at a restaurant opening
00:32:38Oh okay
00:32:40Yeah well um
00:32:41Thank you for your time and
00:32:43Why don't you come with me?
00:32:44All your advice
00:32:44What?
00:32:46Yeah be my plus one
00:32:48Me
00:32:49I can't go to a restaurant opening dress like this
00:32:53Unless it's for a drive-thru
00:32:56No
00:32:58No I'm afraid this is a bit more of a fine dining experience
00:33:01And it's a ten course tasting menu so
00:33:04Hope you're hungry
00:33:05Yeah
00:33:07Are you sure you want me to be your date?
00:33:12Well
00:33:13I'm not saying that this is a date
00:33:14That's not what I meant
00:33:15Right
00:33:15Think of this more as um
00:33:17Two chefs meeting and expanding our palates and stomachs together
00:33:21Continue this discussion and uh
00:33:24We'll see if any last minute inspiration comes to you
00:33:27What do you think?
00:33:30I need to change first
00:33:31Um but
00:33:34Yes
00:33:35A hundred times yes
00:33:37Excellent
00:33:39Jenna
00:33:48I thought you were having brunch today with your future in-laws
00:33:51Is this it?
00:33:53Is it what sweetheart?
00:33:54One box
00:33:55When I came to live with you
00:33:58I only had one box to show for the 13 years of life I had before that
00:34:03You had some clothes and books and a stuffy?
00:34:08There's nothing really here
00:34:09What are you hoping to find?
00:34:16Why has he never come to look for me?
00:34:21He seems so familiar
00:34:23Yet I have no memory of him
00:34:25This picture is the only evidence I have that he even exists
00:34:30But what happened?
00:34:36They look so happy
00:34:37Why didn't it work out for my parents?
00:34:43And what if there's a reason I haven't thought of that Andrew and I won't work out?
00:34:47Oh no
00:34:47You and Andrew have had your own ups and downs
00:34:50But you have come back together
00:34:52Stronger
00:34:53He's my person
00:34:55Yes
00:34:57Anyone with eyes can see you two belong together
00:35:00Frank
00:35:02They're just cold feet
00:35:03Well calm your mind
00:35:05And those feet
00:35:06Time to listen to your heart
00:35:09I'm looking for Theo
00:35:27Yeah that's me
00:35:28How can I help you?
00:35:30I'm Angie Hartman
00:35:31I'm a foster parent
00:35:33With Benefit Foster Care Service
00:35:35I'm sorry I can't make any donation today
00:35:37Oh no no no
00:35:39Um I'm actually here on behalf of your daughter
00:35:42Jenna Whitaker
00:35:44Jenna?
00:35:48You know where she is?
00:35:53Yes I do
00:35:54And she's getting married this weekend
00:35:56My little Jenna
00:36:00Getting married
00:36:02Well
00:36:04And the impending marriage
00:36:06Has brought up questions for Jenna
00:36:08About her past
00:36:10Where she comes from
00:36:11I haven't seen Jenna since she was a toddler
00:36:14I mean what can I possibly do for her?
00:36:17Her mother
00:36:17Can answer anything she wants to know
00:36:19I'm
00:36:22I'm so sorry to be the one to tell you this
00:36:24But
00:36:25Jane passed away
00:36:27Almost twenty years ago
00:36:29I-I know that's a lot to take in
00:36:35But your daughter could really use you now
00:36:38Jane's gone
00:36:41And for that long
00:36:47Wait how
00:36:47Where did you say you're from?
00:36:50I'm-I'm a foster parent
00:36:51From a Benefit Foster Care Service
00:36:53Jenna was in foster care?
00:36:56Oh I can assure you
00:36:58She was loved and supported
00:37:01And has grown into
00:37:03A lovely
00:37:05Thriving
00:37:06Happy young woman
00:37:07I think you'd be very proud
00:37:10Are you open to meeting with her?
00:37:16No
00:37:17No she doesn't want to meet with me
00:37:19That's uh
00:37:20There's no point in dredging up the past
00:37:24Look I-I appreciate you coming all the way out here
00:37:26To-to tell me about her
00:37:28But uh
00:37:28I-I think you better leave
00:37:32Of course
00:37:35If that's what you want
00:37:37I sure hope you change your mind
00:37:41And if you do
00:37:42I'm leaving my number in your mailbox
00:37:44Yeah
00:37:45Yeah
00:37:46Mmm
00:37:47Mmm
00:37:48Hands down that is the best thing I've ever tasted
00:38:02A little bit of heat at the end?
00:38:04Yes
00:38:04You know my only critique?
00:38:07I wish there was more
00:38:08Because I could eat another 40 of them
00:38:09I think that might defeat the purpose of a tasting menu
00:38:12Well a tasting menu is a way to
00:38:15Dip your toes in
00:38:16But I'm just realizing that
00:38:18Thank you
00:38:18I'm more of a
00:38:20Jump in the deep end kind of gal
00:38:22Yeah I sensed that about you
00:38:24I like it
00:38:25You're not like most other people Kiki
00:38:29What do you mean?
00:38:31Most people don't
00:38:32Invest all their money into a food truck?
00:38:35Hmm?
00:38:36Or agree to cater their sister's wedding
00:38:38With no idea if they can actually pull it off
00:38:40No no you're one in a million there
00:38:42But I gotta give it to you
00:38:45You gotta dream big to win big
00:38:46Well you would know
00:38:47Seven Basil is one of the best restaurants in the city
00:38:50You're very modest about the whole thing
00:38:55It's a big deal
00:38:56Most chefs dream of owning their own restaurant
00:38:59Yes I am kind of proud of that
00:39:02Come on
00:39:05Oh
00:39:06I just wanted to be in the kitchen
00:39:07Throwing ingredients together
00:39:09Cooking
00:39:09And where does that come from?
00:39:12Home
00:39:13My parents always wanted the best for me
00:39:14They had dreams of me becoming a doctor
00:39:16I tried to want it for a few years
00:39:18And I even started med school
00:39:20Wow
00:39:21And I was pretty good for a few years
00:39:25At being who I thought I should be
00:39:28But then every day after these long grueling classes in school
00:39:33I would come home and I would be in the kitchen cooking
00:39:35Deep into the night
00:39:37And I think that for me that was a kind of release
00:39:40You know that's how I found my peace
00:39:42Yeah
00:39:44I get that
00:39:45And of course Andrew was my roommate at the time
00:39:48So he ate like a king
00:39:50Well I realized that by being who my parents wanted me to be
00:39:55I was missing out on my own life
00:39:57But your parents were thrilled
00:39:59Yeah
00:39:59No they
00:40:00They
00:40:00They did not think that I could have a career as a chef
00:40:06They didn't think it was a real job
00:40:07But I took the risk
00:40:09Faced their disappointment to go to culinary school
00:40:12Wow
00:40:13So you
00:40:13You really committed then
00:40:15Yeah
00:40:16Yeah I put in the hard work
00:40:17And pursued the flavors that inspired me
00:40:20Found my voice
00:40:22You know the restaurant's success is just a bonus
00:40:24Honestly it's kind of a hindrance
00:40:27And I feel like I can't be creative
00:40:31Or try big bold new things
00:40:33Just in case it doesn't work out
00:40:35And you know honestly
00:40:36It feels like being back in medical school
00:40:38I feel like I'm doing everything to please other people
00:40:41Sorry
00:40:44Oh that must be tough
00:40:48Maybe that's why you're such a breath of fresh air
00:40:51You remind me of the importance of taking risks
00:40:54Angie always jokes that my daydreaming is going to get me into trouble
00:41:02But
00:41:03I don't know I always find that it's my saving grace
00:41:08It gets me to where I'm supposed to be
00:41:11Well maybe you can teach me to dream like that again
00:41:15Maybe I will
00:41:17Cheers to that
00:41:20Cheers
00:41:22Thank you
00:41:24This looks good
00:41:25Damn we have seven more courses left
00:41:29Wow this looks like a great card night
00:41:41Yeah I just hope everyone loves it
00:41:43And I ran some of my ideas by Josh and Clay
00:41:46And if I'm being honest
00:41:48They don't all seem to be winners
00:41:49You didn't suggest the karaoke did you?
00:41:52Hey some people actually love karaoke
00:41:54I told you
00:41:55Okay I'm sorry I'm sorry
00:41:57Look Clay and Andrew have been friends since they were kids
00:42:00And Josh and Andrew they've known each other since football days
00:42:03And me
00:42:05I don't really know any of them all that well
00:42:07Well you are a part of my life now
00:42:10So you are a part of this family
00:42:12Whether it feels that way or not
00:42:14Hey they just
00:42:16They need to get to know you
00:42:18Okay and they will see the thoughtful
00:42:20Funny
00:42:21Amazing man that I fell in love with
00:42:24Hey no one night is going to create this lasting bond
00:42:28Okay I will chill out with you over planning then
00:42:31That sounds like a plan
00:42:33You think you're funny
00:42:35Okay listen I want to take you somewhere
00:42:38And get your mind off of all this thinking
00:42:40Where are we heading?
00:42:42Oh you'll see
00:42:43That's incredible
00:42:45Yeah at one point there were four teens
00:42:48And two preteens in that house
00:42:50Angie is an angel
00:42:52Yes she is
00:42:54I still look forward to every Sunday
00:42:57Just gathering at the house for our Sunday supper
00:43:00And it can be a wild dynamic
00:43:03Because you never know which kid is going to show up
00:43:06Because we're all
00:43:07We're just so different
00:43:08Yet we're
00:43:09Yet we're connected
00:43:10You know you might have something there
00:43:14What do you mean?
00:43:16Well what if for the wedding
00:43:17Instead of individual plates for everybody
00:43:19What if you did a family style service?
00:43:22Like platters on the table
00:43:24Yeah like platters, serving bowls
00:43:26You said you value the community aspect of Sunday supper
00:43:29Well family style means that guests are interacting with each other
00:43:33Serving each other
00:43:34Yeah I love that
00:43:37It's a nod to Angie and our crazy family dinners
00:43:40I mean they always say that a meal should tell a story
00:43:43Exactly
00:43:44Tandoori chicken
00:43:46Well I'm not sure that's the story it's telling
00:43:49No no no
00:43:49Before Jenna went to college
00:43:52We went on a girls long weekend to New York City
00:43:55It's just me, Jenna, Sherry
00:43:57Our first time away from Angie's
00:43:59And we had the best time
00:44:01But we also had the most delicious tandoori chicken
00:44:05From this tiny authentic Indian restaurant
00:44:08That's a great story
00:44:10Yeah well I could do tandoori chicken for the wedding
00:44:13Okay but you still don't have an oven
00:44:16Where are you going to find yourself a tandoor?
00:44:17Well my food truck has a stone oven
00:44:19And I can double it to make tandoori
00:44:23And we can park it at the venue
00:44:24Which solves the problem of the travel time
00:44:26Between Angie's place and the venue
00:44:27Perfect brilliant
00:44:28Do you really think we could pull that off?
00:44:32I don't doubt it
00:44:33Never have
00:44:34Clay?
00:44:36It's been way too long
00:44:37So good to see you
00:44:39Congratulations
00:44:40I think you have something really special here
00:44:41Thank you for coming
00:44:43Honestly means to the world that you're here
00:44:44I'm so happy to be here
00:44:45Kiki
00:44:47May I introduce you to the executive chef
00:44:50And brilliant mind behind all these plates we just had tonight
00:44:54This is Crystal
00:44:54Pleasure to meet you
00:44:56It's
00:44:56The food has been incredible
00:44:58I mean those dumplings are shaped like birds
00:45:00Just sitting on the nest
00:45:01Thanks
00:45:03Kiki's quite the chef herself
00:45:05She actually runs one of the most popular food trucks in the city
00:45:08Food truck?
00:45:09How cute
00:45:10It's just handcrafted pizzas
00:45:12I'd love to come check it out
00:45:14Sure
00:45:16Yeah
00:45:17Well it was really nice meeting you Kiki
00:45:19See you Friday Clay
00:45:21Yeah
00:45:21Well that was a nice surprise
00:45:23Hey Clay
00:45:33So did you see my food truck outside?
00:45:36I did
00:45:37She's a beauty
00:45:38And that pizza oven is next level
00:45:39Yeah
00:45:40And you really did a great job with the small space
00:45:42Well she's small
00:45:43But she's mighty
00:45:45Yeah the Kiki way
00:45:46So what's cooking?
00:45:48I have all the other dishes sorted
00:45:50I'm glad you're still feeling excited about your new plan
00:45:52Mm-hmm
00:45:53Cautiously optimistic
00:45:54Well it smells delicious already
00:45:56Here's hoping
00:45:58Just doing a final tandoori test
00:46:00Just in case this one isn't quite right
00:46:02And we check it in 15 minutes
00:46:06So
00:46:06Okay
00:46:07Um
00:46:09Right
00:46:09Oh my god
00:46:10Now what are you doing?
00:46:12Well I have these three marinades
00:46:14Just in case the first one isn't quite right
00:46:16No no no no
00:46:16Your first sauce smelled incredible
00:46:17Trust your instincts
00:46:18No
00:46:19Instincts or not
00:46:20Look I have had enough stuff go wrong on me in the last few days
00:46:23How many times did you taste the sauce before you put it in the oven?
00:46:28Three times
00:46:29Of course you did
00:46:30And uh
00:46:31How did it taste?
00:46:31It was really good
00:46:34Of course it was
00:46:35Because you're an excellent chef
00:46:36Well that doesn't mean that it's going to be
00:46:38I'm going to tell you this
00:46:39Because no one ever said this to me
00:46:40When I doubted myself and needed to hear it the most
00:46:42I believe in you
00:46:45Because you've been running around
00:46:47Trying to make everything perfect
00:46:49And keep all these balls in the air
00:46:50But if you keep doing this
00:46:51You will burn yourself out
00:46:52And you're going to resent your sister's wedding day
00:46:55If you don't
00:46:56Find some way to enjoy yourself in this process
00:46:59Give yourself 15 minutes
00:47:02To do what?
00:47:07I don't know
00:47:07What do you want to do?
00:47:10Uh
00:47:10Well we now have 12 minutes
00:47:13So
00:47:14I have an idea
00:47:18This is the best latte I've had in a long time
00:47:24You're a fantastic barista
00:47:26Oh thank you
00:47:27It's my favorite when I'm taking a break
00:47:30What?
00:47:35I do take breaks
00:47:37Sometimes
00:47:39Okay fine
00:47:43Once in a blue moon
00:47:44About as often as I do then
00:47:46Hey don't you have a restaurant
00:47:51That you should be prepping for this evening?
00:47:53No no
00:47:53They're closed tonight
00:47:54They're busy getting ready
00:47:56For the rehearsal dinner tomorrow
00:47:57Ah so you are cooking the rehearsal dinner then
00:48:00Nope
00:48:01Let another chef take the lead on this one
00:48:03Looking forward to being a guest this time
00:48:06You know just uh
00:48:07Having a glass of wine
00:48:08Hanging out with Andrew and the family
00:48:09Yeah
00:48:10That sounds really nice
00:48:13Well hopefully you'll be there too
00:48:15I should be
00:48:17But well it's
00:48:18There's a few things
00:48:19Don't miss out on your own life Kiki
00:48:20It's happening right now
00:48:23Yeah you're right
00:48:26Tandory time
00:48:36Moment of truth
00:48:43Mmm
00:48:48Tender
00:48:49Juicy
00:48:50Perfectly spiced
00:48:52Mmm
00:48:53Surprising
00:48:54It's good though right
00:48:56It's so good
00:48:57And you're not just saying that
00:48:59Do I look like a man who would lie about food
00:49:01Mmm
00:49:03But it's not the traditional beef or fish option
00:49:07That most weddings go for
00:49:08Is that going to be a problem?
00:49:09No no no
00:49:09You don't want to give them what they think they want
00:49:11You want to give them something even better
00:49:12Because you
00:49:14Kiki
00:49:14Are better
00:49:16Kiki's
00:49:18Famous
00:49:20Tandoori chicken
00:49:22How's that for branding?
00:49:24It's not famous
00:49:25Yes
00:49:26Well just you wait
00:49:27It will be
00:49:27It's that good
00:49:28Mmm
00:49:29It's going to taste even better
00:49:30When it's in the pizza oven
00:49:31Mmm
00:49:32You could put this on your pizza
00:49:34What do you think of that?
00:49:35I could
00:49:36Do it the Kiki way
00:49:38Yeah Kiki's famous
00:49:39Tandoori chicken pizza
00:49:41Mmm
00:49:41I'm liking the sound of that
00:49:43You know famous is growing on me
00:49:45So Tandoori it is
00:49:51Great
00:49:52Oh sorry
00:49:54So
00:49:59I'm just thinking that it's going to take some time to prep and cook everything
00:50:04Plus I still have to worry about the sides
00:50:06Well it's something that you said
00:50:09Has um
00:50:10Has me thinking
00:50:11That if I want to be able to
00:50:13Breathe
00:50:15And
00:50:16Enjoy the wedding with my family
00:50:17That
00:50:19Maybe it
00:50:21Might be
00:50:22A good idea to have a
00:50:24Another pair of hands
00:50:25So
00:50:26Do you think you could
00:50:27Make a call to my staff?
00:50:29Yeah
00:50:29Nothing would make me happier
00:50:31Great
00:50:33Thank you
00:50:34Here I'll send a quick text
00:50:35So we love the Tandoori
00:50:37And
00:50:38How are you feeling about the sides?
00:50:41Uh good
00:50:42I think just keep them
00:50:43Simple
00:50:44But delicious
00:50:45I just
00:50:45I just don't want anything to compete with that
00:50:47Tandoori flavor
00:50:49So
00:50:49Great
00:50:50Well actually I have something
00:50:53That might be a source of inspiration
00:50:56What is that?
00:50:58You'll have to trust me
00:51:00Pick you up tomorrow morning
00:51:01Say
00:51:028am
00:51:03Yes chef
00:51:06Having problems there?
00:51:21Not bad
00:51:27This is turning out to be quite the adventure
00:51:55So where to next?
00:51:57Uh
00:51:58Well
00:51:58There will be food
00:52:00Another restaurant?
00:52:03No
00:52:04No it's not another restaurant
00:52:06It's uh
00:52:06It's a surprise
00:52:08Hmm
00:52:10Just a little further
00:52:26Right this way
00:52:29Clay
00:52:31Oh my gosh
00:52:32So good to see you

00:53:17Great
00:53:18We got a whole band of donations
00:53:21From a high school fundraiser
00:53:23Oh wow
00:53:24I know
00:53:24Wow
00:53:24Yeah let's get to it
00:53:26Right this way
00:53:27Great
00:53:27Thanks
00:53:28How's it going?
00:53:31This food pantry feeds a lot of people
00:53:32But Martha
00:53:34She seems great
00:53:36Yeah
00:53:37She is
00:53:38And I've known her forever at this point
00:53:40Since Andrew and I were roommates in college
00:53:43You know at the time
00:53:44I was studying day and night
00:53:47Just to keep my scholarship
00:53:48All I was doing was waking up
00:53:51Going to class
00:53:53And then going right home
00:53:54And studying, eating
00:53:56And going right back to bed
00:53:57Well that's not much of a life
00:53:59No it wasn't
00:54:00I don't talk about this much
00:54:01But it was a really lonely couple of years
00:54:04And Andrew was my only friend
00:54:07Then I found this place
00:54:09And everyone here accepted me for who I was
00:54:12Without judgment
00:54:13And then Martha
00:54:16Got me interested in
00:54:18Feeding people and taking care of them
00:54:20Changed my life
00:54:22Thank you
00:54:26For what?
00:54:29For bringing me here today
00:54:30And sharing your story
00:54:33When we love what we do
00:54:37That's a superpower
00:54:40He's from the back
00:54:44Oh thank you
00:54:45Hey did you catch a game last night?
00:54:47I don't even want to think about it
00:54:49Albert my man how you doing?
00:54:55Can't complain
00:54:55Always better when I see you
00:54:57Likewise
00:54:58Hey uh how's your wife?
00:55:00A lot better
00:55:00She's coming home from the hospital today
00:55:02Oh good good good
00:55:03Happy for you too
00:55:04Uh any chance of doubling up on tea for us?
00:55:08She says the stuff in that place is barely drinkable
00:55:11Of course yeah
00:55:12Anything else you need?
00:55:13Nothing specific
00:55:14Whatever you have is good
00:55:15I don't want to take up any more of you and your lady friend's time
00:55:18Okay
00:55:19Oh no it's not like that
00:55:22I hear you saying the words
00:55:25But I see my friend's smile
00:55:26Don't I?
00:55:28Alright I'll go get your tea
00:55:30He's a catch
00:55:33He's a catch

00:55:59I can't just always define myself as being busy all of the time
00:56:03Even though I do have a lot on my plate right now
00:56:06Pun intended
00:56:07Pun appreciated
00:56:09Yeah you deserve to be something other than just busy all the time
00:56:13You know what after all this wedding business is done
00:56:17I'd like to bring my food truck here
00:56:19Give everyone a hot meal
00:56:20Every superhero does need a great set of wheels
00:56:23Hmm
00:56:25Yeah you know what I might have to come up with a new name for the food truck
00:56:28Maybe the um

00:57:08She's like Angie
00:57:09She's kind and warm and welcoming to everyone
00:57:13Martha is your Angie
00:57:16I guess she kind of is
00:57:18After you
00:57:23Thank you for bringing me today
00:57:33I think I really needed that break
00:57:36Well it's nice to share it with you
00:57:39Well the footage was destroyed
00:57:51And uh needless to say we ended up in detention for a few days
00:57:55But I'm glad because that's where we bonded right
00:57:59Forged in the fire
00:58:00And uh seriously Andrew you're just the best
00:58:02And you and Jenna you're perfect together
00:58:05And you're an example of what love can be
00:58:08And it's an inspiration

00:58:14And uh and be as happy as you two are together
00:58:17So cheers to the happy couple

00:58:24I'm so glad you're here
00:58:35I'm smiling
00:58:36I'm sorry if this week's been stressful
00:58:38Oh it's been busy
00:58:40But I'm just so excited to celebrate tomorrow
00:58:43Yeah
00:58:44Why exactly are you this smiley?
00:58:48Is it a boy?
00:58:51Jenna I told you we should have kept the plus one
00:58:54I don't need a plus one to the wedding
00:58:56Thank you very much
00:58:58Yeah you're right
00:58:59How would you have time to flirt with all this wedding crap?
00:59:02Right
00:59:02Well I don't
00:59:03So
00:59:04Good
00:59:05So save us a dance on the dance floor
00:59:06Because I put some special requests in for the DJ
00:59:09No
00:59:10Get your dirty dancing moves ready
00:59:12No Angie why do I always have to play Patrick Swayze?
00:59:19You're very good
00:59:20Clay you have truly outdone yourself with this meal
00:59:23Oh well I'm glad you enjoyed it
00:59:25But uh I actually can't take full credit for it
00:59:28I may have hired a special friend to help me with the meal prep this evening
00:59:32Hey chef get over here
00:59:34This is Chef Crystal
00:59:37Oh my gosh
00:59:45So good to see you
00:59:46Nice to see you too
00:59:47Oh Jenna this is Crystal
00:59:49Used to hang out together all the time when these two were in culinary school
00:59:52Nice to meet you
00:59:53Nice to meet you
00:59:54Yeah so chef Crystal here just opened a restaurant on Massey Street
00:59:58But she was kind enough to take the evening off tonight to help us out here
01:00:01Anything for you Clay
01:00:03Lemon Willow?
01:00:03I've been reading rave reviews about that place
01:00:05Oh my gosh thank you
01:00:07You know I'd love for you to come check it out sometime
01:00:09I wish
01:00:09I hear it's impossible to get a table unless you happen to know somebody
01:00:13I can book you in
01:00:15That would be great thank you
01:00:16Well if you like this you should taste what Kiki's cooking up for us tomorrow in her food truck
01:00:21A food truck at a wedding?
01:00:24That's different
01:00:25There's it's just acting like a portable kitchen
01:00:28Because there's no working oven at the venue
01:00:30Clay here has been telling me that you've had so many bumps along the way
01:00:35And I just think it's so great that he's been helping you out
01:00:38Yeah
01:00:38It's gonna be great Kiki
01:00:42Well if it's anything like this meal
01:00:45Then it will be glorious
01:00:47Um excuse me everyone
01:01:02Sorry to interrupt
01:01:04I just wanted to take this opportunity to declare yet again
01:01:08How much I love this woman sitting next to me
01:01:12I can't believe I get to marry you tomorrow
01:01:15I'm so excited
01:01:17Andrew Clarington I can't believe you still managed to make me blush
01:01:25And I guess
01:01:27Tonight's been so special
01:01:31Thank you for being here
01:01:33You all mean so much to us
01:01:36And we wouldn't be who we are today without

01:02:38Okay um
01:02:41Why don't we just grab a seat
01:02:43Um
01:02:44Did you know about this too?
01:02:46I mean I spoke to Angie about how upset you were that
01:02:49Look
01:02:50I don't believe this
01:02:54Jenna
01:02:54Just wait
01:02:55Don't follow me
01:02:56Jenna please
01:02:56I want to be alone
01:02:57She'll allow
01:03:05She'll be okay
01:03:07She just needs time
01:03:08Yeah
01:03:08I shouldn't have come
01:03:11Theo
01:03:13I'm so sorry
01:03:15I
01:03:18Has anybody seen Kiki?
01:03:21Did she leave?
01:03:25Oh there you are
01:03:26Are you leaving?
01:03:28Yes
01:03:28Big day tomorrow
01:03:30Oh well I was gonna help you
01:03:32You know I thought we were real friends
01:03:34We are
01:03:36It feels like you didn't have my back in there
01:03:38When Crystal was putting my food truck down
01:03:41You didn't say anything
01:03:43I'm sorry
01:03:45I must have
01:03:46Missed it with everything going on
01:03:47No of course I have your back
01:03:49Always
01:03:49Then let me go
01:03:53See you tomorrow
01:03:59Okay
01:04:16I think that's the last of them
01:04:17Where's Kiki?
01:04:19I don't know
01:04:20I think she's still prepping for dinner
01:04:22She still has to get ready
01:04:23I know
01:04:24I'm sure she'll be here soon
01:04:25Is my father here?
01:04:27No
01:04:28Jenna
01:04:32I'm so sorry I didn't talk to you about your father
01:04:35You should have talked to me first
01:04:38I should have
01:04:39I didn't mean to betray your trust
01:04:42I know your heart was in the right place
01:04:44I want to talk to him
01:04:47I need to talk to my dad
01:04:50Of course
01:04:52Like right now
01:04:54Like right now
01:04:58Like today
01:04:59I won't feel ready to walk down the aisle
01:05:02Until I talk to him
01:05:03Okay let's go get your dad
01:05:07Hey best man here to deliver the rings
01:05:10You take care of the blind
01:05:12We'll be back
01:05:13What's going on?
01:05:24Where's Kiki?
01:05:25Theo?
01:05:46Theo?
01:05:47Theo!
01:05:47Theo!
01:05:47Kiki, what are you doing?
01:05:56What does it look like?
01:05:57I'm preparing.
01:05:59Where's my sous chef?
01:06:00They're supposed to be here by now.
01:06:01I sent him home because I can do this on my own.
01:06:04Kiki, I thought you'd agreed to bring in a sous chef
01:06:06so you'd have time to enjoy yourself at the wedding.
01:06:08You know, why does it matter to you?
01:06:10This wedding dinner is going to be over soon enough
01:06:13and then I don't have to bother you anymore
01:06:15with my cute little food truck and my big ideas.
01:06:18Bother me.
01:06:20I'm not a charity case, Clay.
01:06:21Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
01:06:22Where's this coming from?
01:06:27Look, I have committed to this now
01:06:29and I have to see it through.
01:06:31I can't let Jenna down.
01:06:35Did you know her father showed up last night
01:06:37at the rehearsal dinner after you snuck out?
01:06:39What?
01:06:40Yeah.
01:06:41She's in there.
01:06:42She's refusing to walk down the aisle.
01:06:43She's hurt.
01:06:44She's confused and she doesn't need dinner.
01:06:46She needs her sister.
01:06:47She needs you.
01:06:51It's the most important day of her life
01:06:52and I'm out here doing this.
01:06:58I want to be with Jenna.
01:07:00So go.
01:07:00I'll cover for you until my sous chef gets back.
01:07:04Thank me later.
01:07:04Go.
01:07:04Go.
01:07:04Go.
01:07:14How have you been standing here for two hours?
01:07:16Close.
01:07:18Eight and a half minutes.
01:07:20Oh, my God.
01:07:21Something's wrong.
01:07:22Something's definitely wrong.
01:07:24Jenna doesn't want to marry me anymore.
01:07:25What?
01:07:25What?
01:07:26No, not possible.
01:07:27Maybe she fell down a well and can't get out.
01:07:31Look, Jenna is a woman who knows what she wants
01:07:33and that's obviously been you since high school.
01:07:36She'll be here.
01:07:37What's taking so long?
01:07:47Hey.
01:07:50What are you doing in here all alone?
01:07:53My dad's on his way.
01:07:56Okay.
01:07:56Is that what you wanted?
01:07:57Something in me wants him here.
01:08:02He's basically a stranger, but he also feels familiar, too.
01:08:07You know?
01:08:09Of course.
01:08:10He's your dad.
01:08:12He's part of you.
01:08:15I don't even know what I want him to say.
01:08:18I don't know if there's anything he can say.
01:08:25Maybe not.
01:08:27But it's putting in the effort to show up for you today.
01:08:32I mean, that's a good start, right?
01:08:36How do we move forward?
01:08:39Angie told me that he didn't know I was in foster care
01:08:41or that my mom died.
01:08:45Oh, wow.
01:08:47Yeah.
01:08:54He clearly doesn't care to be involved in my life at all.
01:08:57Jenna, look.
01:09:02Maybe everything happens for a reason.
01:09:05Huh?
01:09:06I mean, just think about how different your life would have been
01:09:09had you been there.
01:09:12You wouldn't know Angie.
01:09:14Or me.
01:09:15Sherry or Josh.
01:09:19Not even Andrew.
01:09:24My life would be totally different.
01:09:26Oh, yeah.
01:09:29I love my life.
01:09:32I wouldn't want it to be any other way.
01:09:33What happened with your mom and your dad all those years ago?
01:09:40It's hard.
01:09:42But it also brought you here.
01:09:46And now you have a life that you love.
01:09:48And if you want a chance to get to know your dad.
01:09:57And it's probably not going to get fixed today.
01:10:03Thank you, Kiki.
01:10:04You always know how to make me feel better.
01:10:09How do you do that?
01:10:13I don't know.
01:10:15I didn't even have to use food this time.
01:10:19I love you.
01:10:21I love you.
01:10:22Now, let's get you excited
01:10:27for what we came here for today.
01:10:30What we've all known
01:10:32since you guys were sweethearts in high school.
01:10:35And that is
01:10:36that you two
01:10:38are meant to be.
01:10:43Mrs. Jenna Clarington.
01:10:45How do you even have this?
01:10:46I got all your hand-me-down textbooks from school.
01:10:49This was scribbled inside.
01:10:51This is so embarrassing.
01:10:53Oh, no.
01:10:55That's love, baby.
01:11:00Now, you don't get married in this room, are you?
01:11:02No.
01:11:03No.
01:11:04Mm-mm.
01:11:04So let's go get you dressed.
01:11:06Okay.
01:11:07Okay.
01:11:21Any minute now.
01:11:23For sure.
01:11:27Oh.
01:11:28Hey.
01:11:30You guys okay up here?
01:11:31Uh-huh.
01:11:32Mm-hmm.
01:11:32Mm-hmm.
01:11:33Could be better.
01:11:34Anything I can do to help?
01:11:35No.
01:11:36You just being here
01:11:37and supporting my family is amazing.
01:11:40And we can still dance the night away later?
01:11:41Oh, you know it.
01:11:42Is your tie bothering you?
01:11:45Yeah.
01:11:45Too tight?
01:11:46Yeah.
01:11:46Just a bit.
01:11:49Better?
01:11:50Perfect.
01:11:51You're welcome.
01:11:53Psst.
01:11:53Josh.
01:11:54Josh.
01:11:54Oh.
01:11:55Go ahead.
01:12:00Yeah.
01:12:00So, uh, a little update here.
01:12:02What's going on?
01:12:04Oh.
01:12:04Oh.
01:12:05Oh.
01:12:05Oh.
01:12:05Oh.
01:12:05Oh.
01:12:05Oh.
01:12:05Oh.
01:12:06Oh.
01:12:06Oh.
01:12:07Oh.
01:12:07Oh.
01:12:07Oh.
01:12:07Oh.
01:12:07Oh.
01:12:07Oh.
01:12:07Oh.
01:12:07Oh.
01:12:08Oh.
01:12:08Oh.
01:12:09Oh.
01:12:09Oh.
01:12:09Oh.
01:12:09Oh.
01:12:09Oh.
01:12:10Oh.
01:12:10Oh.
01:12:11Oh.
01:12:11Oh.
01:12:11Oh.
01:12:12That's okay.
01:12:12Um, but it just turns out that Jenna actually does want her father here.
01:12:16So, Sherry's on her way to pick him up now.
01:12:17Okay.
01:12:18Yeah.
01:12:19Okay.
01:12:19Good.
01:12:20Yeah.
01:12:20Yeah, that's good.
01:12:20I think that's good.
01:12:21No, it's just a little delay.
01:12:22That's good.
01:12:23That's all.
01:12:23Hey, sorry the party thing didn't work out.
01:12:26Ah, it's okay, man.
01:12:28I'm just upset that you had to cancel the go-karting.
01:12:30We're going go-karting?
01:12:32Happy to be here.
01:12:34Um, I'm happy you could be here too, Evans.
01:12:36Um, did you hear from Jenna?
01:12:38Is she okay?
01:12:38Yes.
01:12:39She's fine.
01:12:40She'll be here soon.
01:12:41She just wanted to make sure today is a day where family is first.
01:12:46I'm nervous.
01:12:47Perfect.
01:12:48I'm nervous.
01:12:49I'm nervous.
01:12:50Perfect.
01:12:51I'm nervous.
01:12:52I'm nervous.
01:12:53I'm nervous.
01:12:54Perfect.
01:12:55I'm nervous.
01:12:56I'm nervous.
01:12:57I'm nervous.
01:12:58I'm nervous.
01:12:59I'm nervous.
01:13:02I'm nervous.
01:13:03You look incredible.
01:13:23I need you to know it wasn't my decision.
01:13:28I...I adored you.
01:13:36But my job, it kept me away for months at a time.
01:13:43And your mother and I, we tried to make it work, but we just grew apart.
01:13:49It broke my heart.
01:13:52Dad.
01:13:54The idea of you being in foster care, I never would have let that happen if I'd known your mother was gone.
01:14:04I'm sorry things happened to you the way they did.
01:14:11But...please don't blame yourself.
01:14:18Everything turned out okay.
01:14:22Better than okay.
01:14:26I got really lucky.
01:14:29And I really love my life.
01:14:33And I want the same thing for you too.
01:14:41I know we have a long way to go.
01:14:45And there's lots to get to know about each other, but...
01:14:49I'm glad we have the chance to do that going forward.
01:14:54And I'd really love it if you stayed for the wedding.
01:14:58And, um, if you're feeling up for it, I would love it if you walked me down the aisle with Angie.
01:15:10It would be the honor of my life.
01:15:13I'm glad.
01:15:27So, are we ready?
01:15:30Yes.
01:15:32All good?
01:15:42Seems to be.
01:15:44How's Kiki?
01:15:45How do you know I know that?
01:15:48Oh, Clay, we all know.
01:15:51We all know, bro.
01:15:53The flowers look amazing, Angie.
01:16:02Thank you for everything.
01:16:04You deserve the world.
01:16:07Come on, Dad.
01:16:10Am I on the correct side?
01:16:13Feels right to me.
01:16:15I'm ready to go.
01:16:17I'm ready to go.
01:16:18Come on.
01:16:19And now we're in some way.
01:16:21No, I'm ready to go.
01:16:25I didn't want to go.
01:16:26So what was Bec's right?
01:16:28I didn't want to go down if you got anywhere.
01:16:30I'm gonna have to go.
01:16:32I am.
01:16:33Okay.
01:16:34No, no.
01:17:42Hi.
01:17:43Hi.
01:17:44Sorry for the wait.
01:17:58You're worth it.
01:18:00You look beautiful.
01:18:04You look very handsome.
01:18:06I know.
01:18:08Would you marry me?
01:18:14Yes.
01:18:16Yes.
01:18:18Let's try to capture this kind of love.
01:18:24But this kind of magic, it comes from above.
01:18:30No, I never heard of this kind of love.
01:18:36This kind of love, like you, it's beautiful.
01:18:42This kind of love, I do.
01:18:46Because you are more than enough.
01:18:50And even if I tried, I could have never dreamed of this kind of love.
01:18:58This kind of love, it's the summer Sundays and the winter walks.
01:19:14The silent mornings, and the late night talks.
01:19:22When we built our plans, then you gave me your hand.
01:19:28Oh, how'd I ever end up with this kind of love.
01:19:34This kind of love, like you, it's beautiful.
01:19:40This kind of love, I do.
01:19:44Cause you are more than enough.
01:19:48And even if I tried, I could have never dreamed of this kind of love.
01:19:54Jenna, the food was incredible.
01:19:56It was perfect.
01:19:58All thanks to my sis.
01:20:00This kind of love.
01:20:06Thank you for coming back and for all of your work today.
01:20:08You helped make it a very special day.
01:20:10Your menu did all the hard work.
01:20:12The server said all the plates came back empty.
01:20:14It's a good sign.
01:20:16Have a good night.
01:20:32Got any lattes in that truck?
01:20:36Oh, I wish.
01:20:38All weddings should serve them.
01:20:40Rain check.
01:20:42Absolutely.
01:20:44Everybody's asking for you inside.
01:20:46They don't want to pay their compliments to the chef.
01:20:50You did it, Kiki.
01:20:54We did it.
01:20:56I think I still owe you a thank you.
01:20:58Oh, yeah.
01:21:00Well, let's hear it.
01:21:02I couldn't have done this alone.
01:21:06And if you hadn't shaken some sense into me, I would have missed out on a beautiful day with my family.
01:21:14Was there a thank you in there or something?
01:21:18So thank you.
01:21:24For all of your help.
01:21:28In and out of the kitchen.
01:21:32Well, thank you for dreaming big and staying true to yourself and for inspiring me to do the same.
01:21:46It sounds like Jenna's about to toss the bouquet.
01:21:50Do you want to go inside, catch some flowers, see what happens?
01:21:56No.
01:21:58I think I have everything I want right here.
01:22:02Me too.
01:22:04You know, Andrew really made me realize that, uh, work-life balance is something worth fighting for.
01:22:12I think we can both agree on that.
01:22:16Well, do you want to work on that with me?
01:22:22Are you asking me to work with you?
01:22:26No, no, um...
01:22:34I've never met someone that I could see spending my whole life with.
01:22:39And, uh, I see you, Kiki.
01:22:43And, uh, and I see what we could be.
01:22:47And...
01:22:49I love you.
01:22:56I see it, too.
01:22:59I love you.
01:23:01It's gay.
01:23:14Should we, uh, let me join the party?
01:23:17Why not?
01:23:22Is that a...
01:23:23That's a dance-off challenge, right there.
01:23:25That's a little demonstration, then?
01:23:26Unless we had the cook-off, then we have your dance-off.
01:23:28This kind of love.
01:23:58This kind of love.
