00:01Senior year, the culmination of all my careful planning.
00:05Perfect grades, remodel boyfriend.
00:07It's all falling into place.
00:11Hey, Jake.
00:13What'd you want to talk about?
00:14We 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.
00:43See, 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.
01:14Even though he cheated on you.
01:17Everyone makes mistakes.
01:18Oh, okay.
01:19Look, sooner or later he's gonna realize how much he misses me.
01:23You know you're my best friend, right?
01:25Yeah.
01:26So seeing you like this, it honestly kills me.
01:31So 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.
01:41Okay, okay, okay, okay.
01:43There's one thing you can do, like one thing that'll drive him crazy and just straight back into your arms.
01:47So what is it?
01:48Operation Jealousy.
01:51Operation Jealousy?
01:53Yep.
01:54You gotta make him crazy jealous and then he'll be crawling on his knees begging to get back together with you.
01:59Okay, 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 kinda 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 night.
02:24Wait, how do you know about this?
02:26This 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...
02:36Done.
02:37Now we just wait.
02:39Actually, hold on.
02:40I'm gonna add a bio to make you seem a little bit more...
02:44Fun.
02:46Okay, I am plenty of fun.
02:48Look at you right now.
02:51Okay, fair enough.
02:52Yeah.
02:55Oh, oh, whoa.
02:56You already have a match, dude.
02:58You have a match.
02:59And the reviews are raving that he is a total hottie.
03:02Oh my god, let me see.
03:04Swoon-worthy.
03:05Yeah.
03:06Local athlete.
03:08He has a five star rating!
03:10Yeah, that sounds perfect for you.
03:12Wait, why aren't there any photos?
03:14Um, oh, the app says it's a privacy thing you have to commit to at least a meetup.
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!
03:38Come on!
03:39That is too 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...
04:02No.
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.
04:39I'm actually...
04:40I 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.
04:49I'm supposed to meet this girl I've been texting.
04:52Poor thing's going through a rough breakup.
04:55Drama Queen 2020?
04:56Oh, man.
04:57What?
04:58This is epic.
04:59This is a mistake.
05:00Look, forget about everything.
05:01You can even keep the money.
05:02Oh, no, no, no.
05:03You can't get away that easy.
05:04Please.
05:05Don't tell Jake about this.
05:06Okay.
05:07I won't tell him.
05:08And I'll do you one better.
05:09I'll be your fake boyfriend.
05:10What?
05:11What?
05:12That's why you're in the app, right?
05:13I just wanted to hire someone for a date.
05:14You know, make Jake jealous.
05:15Great.
05:16I'm in.
05:17No.
05:18Look, we can't do that.
05:19He's your brother.
05:20Who also happens to be a massive jerk for what he did to you?
05:21I mean, I can't believe he cheated on you.
05:22No one's going to believe that you're actually dating me.
05:26Everyone knows you don't do relationships.
05:27Maybe I'm full of surprises.
05:28No.
05:29Forget it.
05:30Look, I'll find someone else.
05:31Look, you're not going to do better than going out with Jake's older, charming, and
05:33much hotter brother.
05:34Come on.
05:35You want to make him jealous?
05:36You don't make Jake jealous.
05:37You don't make Jake jealous.
05:38Great.
05:39I'm in.
05:40No.
05:41We can't do that.
05:42He's your brother.
05:43Who also happens to be a massive jerk for what he did to you?
05:44I mean, I can't believe he cheated on you.
05:45No one's going to believe that you're actually dating me.
05:46Everyone knows you don't do relationships.
05:47Maybe I'm full of surprises.
05:48No.
05:49Forget it.
05:50I'll find someone else.
05:51Older, 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?
05:59Fine.
06:00But we follow my plan.
06:04No improvising.
06:05Yes, ma'am.
06:07So, 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 fun.
06:20Well, you're definitely full of surprises.
06:23Will you please answer the question?
06:25Geez.
06:26Take 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.
06:34Okay.
06:35Yeah.
06:36What was the question?
06:37Where did we go on our first date?
06:39Um...
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.
06:50It's believable.
06:51No.
06:52What 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.
07:16Fine.
07:17Love it.
07:18Second sight.
07:19Look, 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 fake relationships, I can enjoy it all without any disappointments.
07:46How romantic.
07:50Uh, 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.
07:57How about you drop the plan and just see where the night takes you?
08:00Ever heard of the risks 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.
08:29Didn't realize you're an expert in makeup now.
08:32What I mean is you don't need any makeup.
08:34You already look amazing with that.
08:36You can save the theatrics for now.
08:38We're not at the party yet.
08:39No, I'm serious.
08:40You look beautiful.
08:42You always do.
08:45I guess I'm just nervous.
08:47Don't worry.
08:48I'll be by your side the whole night.
08:50I promise.
08:51You 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.
09:03I mean, you're ridiculously smart.
09:06You started in all the school plays, got every solo and chorus.
09:09You're nervous.
09:10You still have time for math leaves.
09:12I 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 pay attention.
09:23You know, when you drop the whole too cool for school act, you're actually a pretty decent guy.
09:28Damon Coyle.
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 decided to try with someone, of course.
09:44Claire?
09:47We're here.
09:59We're here.
10:05People are looking.
10:07Why are they looking?
10:08They're looking because you're with me.
10:10When you're with me, you actually get to have some fun for me.
10:29I'm gonna give this drinks.
10:52I'll be right back.
10:54Okay, wow, wow, wow, it looks like things are heating up.
11:04I know, right?
11:05It's almost like Operation Jealousy might actually work.
11:08Yeah, no, I was talking about you two.
11:11What?
11:12You and the town hottie?
11:14No, I mean, we're just, I don't know.
11:16Pretending or actually having fun for once?
11:20You know, you two kind of look cute together.
11:22Plus, I haven't seen you smile this much in a long time.
11:26Oh my god, there he is.
11:29Oh my god, there he is.
11:31See, he can't be over me.
11:32Look at his face.
11:34Oh my gosh, is that Chelsea?
11:38So much for girl code, and I thought she was your friend.
11:45He said he'd only give his jacket to his one special girl.
11:52It's time to AF this party up!
11:58Did someone say never have ever?
12:00Woo!
12:01I knew!
12:02Let's play.
12:04I don't think that's a good idea.
12:07Come on, it'll be fun.
12:09So wait, why don't you go first?
12:23Okay.
12:24Um, never have I ever fantasized about a teacher.
12:29Ooh!
12:30Cute.
12:31Now let's see.
12:33Never have I ever been pathetic enough to crash Max's birthday party.
12:39Oh!
12:40Okay.
12:41Ooh!
12:42Cute.
12:43Now let's see.
12:45Never have I ever been pathetic enough to crash Max's birthday party.
12:50Never have I ever been some loser's side check.
12:53Never have I ever been desperate enough to swoop in on someone's ex.
12:56Never have I ever cheated on someone completely out of my league.
12:59Never have I ever slept with basically every girl in this room.
13:02Face it, Claire.
13:03You'll never be more than just another number to him.
13:05Claire.
13:06Hey, Claire.
13:07Seriously, Claire?
13:08You're gonna show up to my party just to start drama?
13:10No, I didn't do anything.
13:11It was Chelsea.
13:12Don't blame Chelsea.
13:13You're gonna show up to my party just to start drama.
13:14No, I didn't do anything.
13:15It was Chelsea.
13:16Don't blame Chelsea.
13:17You just jealous.
13:18You know what?
13:20You two deserve each other.
13:23Hey, dude, are you okay?
13:25Cuz that game was brutal, and where did Damon run off to?
13:27I love you.
13:28I love you and I love you.
13:29You're so fucking tongue.
13:30I love you.
13:31I love you.
13:32I love you.
13:33I love you.
13:34I love you.
13:35You love you.
13:36I love you.
13:37I love you.
13:38I love you.
13:39I love you.
13:40I love you so much.
13:41You know what?
13:42I love you.
13:43I love you, I love you.
13:44I love you.
13:45Where are you guys?
13:46I love you.
13:47I don't know. He said he was going to be by my side the entire night, and I thought we were...
13:52It doesn't even matter anymore.
13:55Is Claire Sanders actually breaking protocol?
13:59No matter how hard I plan or how carefully I try to put my life into this perfect little box,
14:04it all comes crashing out around me.
14:06And now, the one guy I might actually have real feelings for is off God knows where,
14:10probably setting up a new date with a girl in that stupid app.
14:15So, yeah, I'm done planning. Plans can suck it.
14:32Hey, sorry I ran out like that. I left my phone in the car and I had to grab it to get on the app.
14:37Of course.
14:38What? Wait, wait, wait. Where are you going?
14:41Home. And don't worry, I'll still write a good review for you.
14:44I wouldn't want you to miss out on any more epic dates.
14:47Hey, talk to me.
14:49You just left me in there.
14:51I know. I'm sorry. I wasn't thinking.
14:54I don't care anymore, Damon. Look, you were right. Jake's an ass.
14:57So, the plan... this... it's over.
15:03What if I don't want it to be over? What if I don't want it to be over?
15:07You could have your pick of any girl out there, so why don't you just get on the app and find someone else?
15:12Yeah, I got on the app because I wanted to delete it.
15:16What?
15:17I deactivated my account.
15:19Why would you do that? Look, I know I'm just another number.
15:22You're not just another number, okay? You never were.
15:26I don't want a fake date with you anymore, alright? I want... a real one.
15:39I thought you said that real relationships never work.
15:43Well, maybe I realize that you're the risk worth taking.
15:48Come on. Slap shot 239. Pick me home.
16:18Are you sure I'm doing this right?
16:20Yeah. Just make sure these two dots match. They'll make that side a little bit bigger.
16:25Okay. I'm trusting the process. I'm just glad we get to go sag together.
16:30You never got a date, right?
16:32No date. But Damon's really not coming?
16:35I bought him a ticket in case he changed his mind, but he won't budge.
16:39Well, that's his loss because you are about to be the best homecoming queen that we have ever seen.
16:45No way! I don't even know how I got nominated.
16:49And, of course, Jake is on the ballot because he's the only reason why our soccer team wins.
16:53I feel like the only reason I'm on there is because people want to see what Chelsea will do if I win.
16:57Knowing her, she'll probably dump a bucket of pig's blood on my head.
17:00At least she's vegan, so you know it'll be synthetic.
17:04Maybe Jake, like, campaigned for you guys to reignite something.
17:09Because I heard rumblings that him and Chelsea aren't doing too hot right now.
17:13Ooh, trouble in cheater's paradise. Shocker.
17:17Where did you even hear that, anyway?
17:20I don't even remember. You know, gossip travels. That looks pretty good.
17:26But it could also be your newfound popularity from dating Damon.
17:29It hasn't exactly gone unnoticed that you get picked up on a motorcycle every single day.
17:35Yes, Damon. My knight in shining armor who can't even be bothered to take his girlfriend to her school dance.
17:43I mean, at least he's hot.
17:45So hot.
17:47It's so weird that Joey didn't ask you to be his date.
17:52Um, not that weird. We haven't talked in a while.
17:55Why? I thought you were starting to dig him.
17:57As soon as I figured out that our names couldn't have one of those cool celebrity abbreviations, it was over before it began.
18:02J-Zoey.
18:05J-Zoey. Absolutely not.
18:08Well, more Zoey for me. Nothing's gonna keep us apart.
18:13Oh, it's Damon!
18:16Or should I say Claremont.
18:20Can I call you back to finish this?
18:22Yeah, you can. Claremont.
18:24But you better, cause we need to finish this look.
18:26Okay. Bye!
18:28Hey, beautif-
18:30What's up with your eyes?
18:32It's not finished yet.
18:34You look like Amy Winehouse on a Tuesday morning.
18:37Zoey is giving me a tutorial for the dance tonight.
18:39Ah, yes!
18:41I almost forgot who I was speaking with.
18:44My sincerest apologies. Your royalness.
18:47I know, you can make it up to me.
18:50Nope.
18:51Come on, you're seriously gonna let me do this alone?
18:53You're not gonna be alone. I thought you were wrong with Zo.
18:56Plus, if you listen very carefully, I bet you can hear Jake-
19:00Yep, there's Jake bouncing off the walls. Dude is pumped.
19:04Yeah, because dances are super fun and even more fun if you have a date like he does.
19:09Yeah, for now.
19:10What do you mean?
19:11Chelsea's been soft ghosting him. I don't think she's that excited about the dance.
19:16Why could that be? Because yours truly got nominated and she didn't?
19:22Oh 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 because I would have to play in prom and then the homecoming queen normally becomes the prom queen and then-
19:42I seriously doubt she's thinking about this a quarter as much as you are.
19:46How could she not be?
19:49Because nobody cares about this king and queen stuff as much as you and Jake. It's lame.
19:54Easy for you to say. You got nominated all four years and didn't even show up.
19:57I get that this seems like a big deal to you now, but I promise when you get out of high school you'll realize none of this stuff matters.
20:03Wow, and you think Chelsea has already reached this higher consciousness?
20:11No, I'm not talking about her.
20:13You know, come to think of it, if you both are so mature, maybe you should skip the dance together and get 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.
20:28I didn't mean- Claire-
20:30Bye.
20:32I need to fix this.
20:39Hey, Jake.
20:41Claire!
20:42Hey, um, thanks for picking up.
20:45Whoa, did Zoe do this to you?
20:49It's a work in progress. What's up?
20:51Cool.
20:52Um, I just wanted to call you and touch base and just, you know, make sure that things don't get awkward tonight.
21:04You mean if we win?
21:05Oh, we're gonna win.
21:08Is Chelsea gonna be upset if, when we win?
21:13If, um, if she looks up from her phone long enough to notice, maybe.
21:17Aw, texting someone else?
21:19It'd be a shame if she were in, like, a secret relationship. That would suck.
21:23Look, Claire, I know that I can never apologize enough for what I did, but...
21:30I really am sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you, and if I could take it back, I would.
21:37It's fine. It's fine. Just, at least she'll be there. Damon won't even come.
21:46Yeah, I never really understood his thing with dances. I mean, like, we always had a great time.
21:51I know. It's a chance to get, like, dressed up and have fun and make grand romantic gestures.
21:57Grand romantic gestures. Jinx!
22:01Don't tell anyone that I just said that.
22:05Whoa. Is that the dress that you've been seeing since freshman year?
22:09Yeah. I can't believe I'll finally be able to wear it.
22:15And I can't believe this will be our first high school dance where we aren't going together.
22:21Yeah. Me neither.
22:24I hope we win so we at least get one dance together.
22:31Well, how about either way we make it happen. One dance before the night's over.
22:36Deal.
22:38As long as you promise not to step on my dress like you did junior year.
22:41That was sophomore year.
22:43It was both.
22:46Fine. As long as you promise not to bust out your grandma moves.
22:51What? You mean...this one?
22:54Oh, God. My eyes! Stop it! My eyes!
23:02What, like, you can do better?
23:04Oh, come on. Anyone can do better than whatever that was.
23:07Let's see. By all means.
23:09Oh, sorry. Chelsea's calling me. I should get it. I'll see you later.
23:31Yeah, yeah. See ya.
23:33Hello? Hello? Just trying to show you what you're missing.
23:43Wow. You look incredible.
23:45Thanks. Are you...are you going somewhere?
23:47Yeah, there's a cheese board with my name on it I need to get to.
23:49Look, I'm sorry about before. I know it's just a stupid dance, but it's my last homecoming and...I don't know, I really wanted you to be there.
24:04Yeah, I'm sorry, too. I should've known how important it was to you.
24:08It's okay.
24:09God, how do you...how do you do this?
24:10You're getting pretty dressed up to eat a cheese board with your brother's girlfriend.
24:14If you think I'm gonna let my brother have all the fun, you're crazy.
24:21This is going to match your dress?
24:23You're coming? And you got me a corsage?
24:26Is that against the rule, to bring your own crowns?
24:28your brother's girlfriend. If you think I want to let my brother have all the fun, you're
24:31crazy. Is this going to match your dress? You're coming? And you got me a corsage? Is it against
24:40the rule to bring your own crowns? I just want to make sure people know who the true king
24:43and queen are. Wait, what? Nothing. Nothing. I'm just talking to myself. Okay, well how
24:52about a little less chit-chat and a little more boogie? Come on, Claire, we've got a
24:55homecoming to get to, and I for one, am wearing my dancing shoes.
25:01Hey!
25:15This part always gets me.
25:21Yes! Yes, yes, it is.
25:24That's so sad.
25:26Are you watching hockey right now?
25:28What? No.
25:30No, I mean, I'm not not watching hockey.
25:34Come on, babe, tell me some slack. It's my birthday tomorrow, and these are two of my favorite
25:38teams.
25:38This is a classic, Damon. Anybody who's anybody has seen this.
25:42Classics just code for old.
25:44I don't know why I bother trying to culture you. Anyway, what's the plans for tomorrow,
25:50birthday, boy?
25:52Well, since I've been away for two weeks, I was thinking I could kiss your face for the
25:56first half of the day, and then, you know, we got to party later.
26:01Crap. Crap. Crap.
26:02Crap.
26:03Um, Nico? guitar?
26:07Who plans his calling? Who's that?
26:09I-I completely forgot. I have a lesson now.
26:14Is this why you've gotten so into guitar lately?
26:16Hey, my favorite student, and my favorite student's friend.
26:25We were just watching The Long Way, and we lost track of time.
26:29Oh, yes. I see you took my recommendation. Such a classic.
26:35Boyfriend.
26:37What?
26:38I'm not her friend. I'm her boyfriend.
26:40Oh, lucky guy.
26:42Who was just leaving. Bye, Demon.
26:45I mean, I can stay.
26:47I'd love to see what you two have been working so hard on lately.
26:49No. I mean, no. No.
26:54She's right. Music is so personal. So intimate.
26:57Something to be shared between two.
26:59Or three.
27:00Oh, no. Almost never three.
27:05Young love. Such a beautiful thing.
27:08Love, who said? I don't... We...
27:11I... We don't...
27:14Have you ever been in love?
27:18Of course.
27:20Of course.
27:21Yeah, I've been in love a bunch of times.
27:25I mean, not a bunch of times.
27:27The normal amount of times.
27:29There's just a lot of pressure on when to say it, you know?
27:33There's just... There's a lot of stress.
27:35And then, yeah, you don't know who should say it first.
27:37Or when you should say it.
27:38Or if they'll ever say it back.
27:42Maybe I can help you find a way to say it.
27:44Should we begin?
27:52Should we begin?
27:54Yeah.
28:01Damon?
28:02Hey, Zoe. What's up?
28:04How are you doing?
28:05I'm good.
28:09That's awesome.
28:10I'm... I'm also good.
28:12You know, I've been away at training camp for a couple weeks.
28:14Coming home tomorrow.
28:16So, here's a funny little question for you.
28:21Claire's guitar teacher.
28:24Nico.
28:26Yeah.
28:28He's not even that good looking.
28:29Like, at all.
28:29Oh, no.
28:30He's a solid 9.5.
28:32And then him playing guitar takes him to about a 12.
28:35I just think it's weird.
28:37You know, we...
28:38She's doubled her lessons while I've been away.
28:40And we're watching movies they both like.
28:43Wouldn't you feel a little bit weird about your girlfriend
28:45hanging out with some guitar player multiple times a week?
28:48I thought you said he wasn't good looking.
28:50Zoe.
28:52Okay.
28:54I wouldn't feel great about it.
28:55But I'd be confident in my relationship.
28:58I would know that she really wants to be with me.
29:01And not him.
29:03I just don't get it.
29:04I mean, she's being so secretive about it.
29:07I haven't even heard her play anything.
29:09Yeah, Damon.
29:10I don't know.
29:11Don't you have any guy friends to call about this?
29:14Who am I going to talk to, Zoe?
29:15Guys don't talk about stuff.
29:16If only you knew somebody that dated Claire
29:18and knew her really, really well.
29:21Jake?
29:22Yeah.
29:22Is that weird?
29:24I mean, it can't be weirder than you calling me about this.
29:26Yeah, okay.
29:27You're right.
29:29You're good friends, though.
29:30Claire's lucky to have you on her side.
29:32Don't stress.
29:33I'm sure there's absolutely nothing to worry about.
29:36Plus, isn't it your birthday tomorrow?
29:37Look, it's on that.
29:39Yeah.
29:40Thanks, Zoe.
29:40I'll see you tomorrow.
29:41Hey, birthday boy.
29:54Not until tomorrow.
29:55Where's Jake?
29:56He's in the shower.
29:57He just got back from practice and he's disgusting.
29:59I was totally going to wish you a happy birthday,
30:02but I didn't have your number.
30:04Yeah, let's keep it that way.
30:05So, what's on the agenda?
30:07What time am I picking you up tonight?
30:09Kidding.
30:10Obviously.
30:12Does Perfect Claire have a perfect little date planned?
30:15Other than running off the guitar teacher?
30:17Probably not.
30:18Oh, that's right.
30:18She starts dying with Nico.
30:20Wait, you know Nico?
30:22Yeah, I set them up.
30:24He's amazing.
30:25So, so talented.
30:26So, so talented.
30:29What do you mean you set them up?
30:31Well, she was saying a few weeks ago at the house
30:33that she's been wanting to learn, so...
30:35Yeah, I don't know.
30:36I suggested Nico.
30:37Oh, great.
30:38So this is your fault.
30:39Thanks a lot.
30:39Where was I?
30:40Sitting right next to her, not listening, per usual.
30:43That's not...
30:45That is not true.
30:46I listen.
30:48Whatever.
30:49Anyway, out of the kindness of my generous heart,
30:53I suggested Nico.
30:54Every girl should have a few lessons with him.
30:56He teaches you so much.
30:59I wouldn't expect your smashed hockey brain to understand.
31:02What exactly wouldn't I understand?
31:04What exactly wouldn't I understand?
31:07Music, art, culture, languages.
31:09Just, you're not, like, afraid she's gonna ditch you for a guy
31:13she can actually have a conversation with.
31:15Are you?
31:16But we have conversations, Chelsea.
31:19Is Jake out of the shower yet?
31:21Oh, yeah, about what, huh?
31:22Hockey?
31:23And then hockey?
31:24Oh, of course, right.
31:25There's always hockey.
31:27Seriously, though, Damon,
31:28hockey's like your one true love,
31:30and it's kind of boring.
31:32I love other things.
31:34Like what?
31:35Like Claire,
31:36and I don't want her running off
31:37with some guitar-playing,
31:39art-culture-looking snob, alright?
31:45Look, I'm not saying I'm an expert on all things Claire,
31:48but dating brothers has forced us to hang out with each other
31:52more than either of us would have liked,
31:53and she's actually kind of...
31:56interesting.
31:59So, maybe you should at least pretend
32:01to care about some of the things she likes.
32:02Yeah.
32:03It's actually not terrible advice.
32:08Considered my birthday gift to you.
32:10Gee, thanks a lot.
32:12So, what are you still doing here?
32:14Go before she hires Nico
32:16to be her boyfriend at your party tomorrow.
32:19Bye.
32:20So, what are you still doing here?
32:22Go before she hires Nico
32:23to be her boyfriend at your party tomorrow.
32:26Bye.
32:27Yeah, yeah, okay, whatever.
32:29Thanks, bye.
32:33Bye.
32:42Hey!
32:44I was just going to call you.
32:46You're all dressed up.
32:48Damon,
32:49I've been wanting to tell you how I feel,
32:52and I,
32:53this was going to be a birthday surprise,
32:55but
32:55I just,
32:58I didn't think I could wait.
33:03Okay.
33:04You're the cream in my coffee,
33:16you're the apple of my eye.
33:18You make me want to laugh,
33:20and I think I'm gonna cry.
33:22Like, you're the one,
33:24so there's one thing I must do.
33:26I have to say
33:31I love you.
33:37I love you, too.
33:40Mom didn't steal her.
33:42I'm sorry, but I needed you to know it.
33:44I love you so much, Claire.
33:46And I'm sorry that I got weird earlier,
33:48but I talked to Zoe, and...
33:49You talked to Zoe?
33:50Yeah, and she told me not to worry.
33:53And she told me that she always has your back,
33:55which I love.
33:56Huh.
33:57I love.
33:58And I talked to Chelsea.
34:00Ew, why didn't you talk to Chelsea?
34:01I don't know.
34:02She sucks.
34:03But she did say one thing that wasn't terrible.
34:06I want to make more of an effort to share your interests, Claire.
34:09I want to watch whatever you want to watch,
34:12and talk about musicals.
34:14Even the old ones.
34:14I don't care.
34:15Just, no subtitles.
34:17Deal?
34:18Deal.
34:19Okay.
34:20Babe?
34:22Yeah?
34:24Do you think I could finish my song?
34:25I work really hard on it.
34:27Yes, please.
34:33Blue-eyed baby, as bright as the sky.
34:37Hit it in the cloud, but never felt so high.
34:41Think you're the one, so there's one thing I must do.
34:47I have to say.
34:49I love you.
34:52Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do.
34:55Do-do-do-do-do-do-do.
34:58Did you change your pillowcases?
35:02No.
35:03Claire, do not leave them there.
35:04That looks like trash.
35:07Do you have time to do a load of laundry?
35:08Not really, but yeah.
35:11Did you get the champagne?
35:13Yes.
35:14Chocolates?
35:15Rose petals?
35:16Massage oils?
35:17Scented candles?
35:18All of that?
35:20Claire, I'm playing with you.
35:22I literally don't understand why you're freaking out right now.
35:24One, Damon's been in your room.
35:26And two, you're not a virgin.
35:27I'm a virgin to sleeping with brothers.
35:30True.
35:31That's awkward.
35:33Is there a term for that?
35:34Sleeping with brothers.
35:40Please do not ever Google that.
35:43Ever.
35:44You're not helping.
35:45So, look, this is a big night.
35:48After tonight, that's it.
35:50What do you mean, this is it?
35:51Like, me and Damon.
35:53There's no going back.
35:55Going back to what?
35:56To Jake?
35:57Have you guys been talking or something?
36:00No.
36:00Not talking.
36:02Just, I don't know.
36:04We dated for so long.
36:05It feels like a betrayal, you know?
36:09And, plus, I know Chelsea broke up with him,
36:11so I know he's not in a good place.
36:14About time.
36:15She dragged that on long enough.
36:17What's that supposed to be?
36:18Nothing, Claire.
36:20I don't think you sleeping with your boyfriend is a betrayal.
36:23You're good.
36:23You think they'll talk about it?
36:26Oh my god, what if they compare notes?
36:28Oh god, that's so awkward.
36:29I think the only one that gets to do the comparing is you.
36:32Plus, Damon is going to be ten times better than Jake.
36:35Think about all that experience.
36:37Why would you say that?
36:39So, I didn't even think of it like that.
36:41God, he's been with so many girls.
36:45What if he thinks I don't know what I'm doing?
36:48God, thanks a lot.
36:50Just what I needed.
36:51That's literally not what I meant at all.
36:55Well, it's Damon.
36:57Wish me luck.
36:58Bye.
36:59You are definitely running late, but since you are shirtless, and you probably smell good,
37:14I'll let it slide.
37:15You are definitely running late, but since you are shirtless, and you probably smell good,
37:22I'll let it slide.
37:23Hey, uh, so I got some news.
37:26Bad news?
37:27No, just, uh, do you remember Natasha?
37:32Natasha, your super hot ex who ran away to, like, live off the land in Japan?
37:37Ride her bicycle across Thailand, but yeah, great.
37:40So you remember.
37:42She's back.
37:43Oh, so it's horrible news.
37:45I know we're supposed to hang tonight.
37:46Do you mind if I rain check?
37:47Do I mind if you bail to run off with a literal model who also happens to be your ex-girlfriend?
37:55Hmm, let me think about that.
37:57I know it's a little bit weird, but I promise.
37:59She just wants to stop by, show me some pictures, and she's leaving again in, like, a week.
38:03Wait, wait, she's coming over to your place?
38:05Why can't you just insta-stalk her like any normal ex-boyfriend?
38:11Actually, uh, do not.
38:14She is the literal girl version of you.
38:16That's exactly why we didn't work.
38:18Trust me, it's strictly a friend hand.
38:20I don't know.
38:21I know who you guys were when you were together.
38:22You couldn't keep your hands off each other.
38:24Yeah, now I can't keep my hands off you.
38:27I'm being serious.
38:28We both have exes, Claire.
38:30Come on.
38:31Don't forget I had to watch you date my brother for two years.
38:34Don't forget I had to watch you date my brother for two years.
38:37Okay, I don't want to fight.
38:38I just, I really wanted to spend time with you tonight.
38:41I was hoping this could be our special...
38:45She's here.
38:45I gotta go.
38:46Love you.
38:56I know I said I wanted updates, but definitely did not mean in real time.
39:04Ha ha.
39:05Funny.
39:06You know what else is funny?
39:08Damon running off with his ex-girlfriend.
39:10Wow.
39:11Which one?
39:12Please don't say Natasha.
39:13Natasha.
39:17Didn't she move to the Philippines?
39:19Thailand.
39:20And just for the year, sadly.
39:23Damon finally moving on must have triggered her spidey sense, and now she's returned to ruin my perfect night.
39:29Claire, she's an influencer.
39:30Not a comic book villain.
39:32Same difference.
39:33Okay, Natasha's back, but that doesn't have to mean anything.
39:36Was Damon acting excited or weird?
39:39He showered.
39:41Okay.
39:42He's pretty.
39:43He does that.
39:45Anything else?
39:47I trust Damon.
39:48I don't trust her.
39:51Shit.
39:53She just posted a story.
39:54I can't look at it.
39:55She'll know.
39:55She has 80,000 followers.
39:57She's not gonna see your name.
39:59I can't look, Zoe.
40:00You look.
40:03What is it?
40:05Are they kissing?
40:07Are they back together?
40:08Okay, maybe you should look at it so you can stop freaking out.
40:17Why would you have me look at that?
40:19This is it.
40:24We're gonna get married, have two and a half kids, and have a yurt in Iceland.
40:28You know, I did hear that Reykjavik is really beautiful in springtime, actually.
40:34Again, with the not helping.
40:36This was supposed to be our biggest night of our lives.
40:39I'm allowed to be disappointed.
40:40But you're being insane.
40:42Damon loves you.
40:43He's not getting back together with Natasha.
40:45Did you see the photo?
40:46He is supposed to be drinking and snuggling with me, not her.
40:51They're not snuggling.
40:53And to be fair, you didn't tell him about this perfect night,
40:56so you can't be mad at him for not being a mind reader.
40:58You didn't tell him about this perfect night,
41:01so you can't be mad at him for not being a mind reader.
41:04What's going on?
41:05Why are you taking my side on this?
41:08Nothing's wrong with me.
41:09I'm just saying that, like...
41:12Whatever.
41:12I gotta go.
41:13Don't trip.
41:14I'm sure it'll be fine.
41:16Beep, beep, beep.
41:29Hi.
41:30You calling from Reykjavik?
41:31What?
41:33Nothing.
41:34Where are you?
41:35I thought you were hanging out with Natasha.
41:37Uh, yeah, I was, but, you know,
41:39there's only so many pictures of Thailand a person can take.
41:41What happened?
41:43Nothing. What? Nothing.
41:44Nothing, nothing, or something, nothing.
41:48You were right.
41:49That was a bad idea.
41:50It was stupid for me to think we could just hang as friends.
41:53She hasn't changed at all.
41:54I mean, she invited me to go to Bali with her,
41:56and she tried to kiss me.
41:59Wait.
41:59You kissed?
42:01No, no, she tried.
42:03Look, I'm really sorry, Claire.
42:04I shouldn't have put myself in that position.
42:07Did you want to kiss her?
42:08No way.
42:09Are you kidding?
42:10You're the only person I want to kiss.
42:11Like, ever.
42:12Why don't you say that to my face?
42:16Why don't you let me up?
42:17I'm outside.
42:19You're here?
42:21Wait, are you sure?
42:22I only have 700 followers.
42:24Please, you know she bought all those followers, right?
42:27What?
42:29100%.
42:29But do I see some black silk under there?
42:33I'm much more interested in that.
42:34Come on, let me up.
42:35Keep going.
42:43Now, target zone for the tree punches,
42:45right for the front of the face.
42:46Palms are down.
42:47Elbows are tight.
42:48There we go.
42:50Now, we're going to...
42:50Demons texted me,
42:51I love you three times since this morning.
42:54Who need to get some mushy after sex?
42:57That's awesome.
42:59And he took me out for breakfast.
43:01Did I say that already?
43:02Like four times.
43:03Oh, well, now I guess I said it five.
43:06Anyway, did you hear that Natasha pays for her followers?
43:09How embarrassing and sad is that?
43:13Two uppercuts, let's go.
43:15Uppercuts, target zone.
43:16Where is it?
43:16Underneath the chin.
43:17Elbows are tight to the body.
43:19Now.
43:20Wow.
43:21That's actually the first question you've asked me in months.
43:26Whoa, are you mad at me?
43:27Not mad, I'm just tired.
43:30Well, we can pause it.
43:31I mean, no, Claire.
43:32I'm tired of this one-sided friendship dance
43:35that we've been doing since you started dating Damon.
43:38I don't know what you're talking about.
43:39You realize that we were supposed to go to homecoming together, right?
43:42And then Damon came.
43:44And the only time you call me is to ask or talk about Damon.
43:47And now Damon's calling me to talk about you
43:49and I am tired of it.
43:51We're supposed to be best friends, right?
43:53I am your best friend.
43:54No, I'm your best friend
43:56and you've been asleep at the wheel.
43:58I am your best friend.
43:59No, I'm your best friend
44:01and you've been asleep at the wheel.
44:03Well, I'm sorry I'm talking a little too much about my boyfriend,
44:06but I don't think it's fair to say that I've been a bad friend.
44:08I mean...
44:09Well, I think a good friend would notice
44:11that their best friend
44:12has been going through something huge
44:14the past few months.
44:15Oh my god.
44:17What?
44:17Zoe, are you okay?
44:18Yeah, I'm actually great.
44:22I've been seeing someone
44:23and it's getting pretty serious,
44:25but it's been exhausting
44:27not being able to just talk to you about it.
44:30You can talk to me about anything.
44:32This is so exciting.
44:33Who is it?
44:34It's not important.
44:35What do you mean it's not important?
44:38I want to know who stole my bestie's heart.
44:40Come on.
44:41She didn't steal anything.
44:42It just kind of happened.
44:45I didn't think we'd get along so well,
44:47but she's just perfect.
44:51Okay, so we've established it's a girl.
44:55I mean, that shrinks the pool a little,
44:57but you still haven't given me a good enough hint.
44:59Okay, maybe she's not perfect
45:01and it's just like the honeymoon phase talking.
45:04I don't know.
45:05I don't know what we are.
45:07It's like we're dating,
45:09but we haven't put a label on it yet.
45:11I guess it's just like
45:13a little bit more complicated for Chelsea.
45:16What does Chelsea have to do with this?
45:19Because I'm the first girl she's ever been with.
45:22I guess it's just like
45:23a little bit more complicated for Chelsea.
45:26What does Chelsea have to do with this?
45:29Because I'm the first girl she's ever been with.
45:32Hold on.
45:34You're dating Chelsea?
45:35Like, like ruined my life, Chelsea.
45:40Are you kidding me?
45:41We hate Chelsea!
45:43You know she broke up with Jake
45:44and he's like devastated, right?
45:46Okay, but we don't care about Jake.
45:48We care about me, right?
45:49So you're the other woman now.
45:51That's not fair.
45:53Especially because she wasn't even that into him.
45:55I'm sorry, what?
45:57She weaseled into our two-year relationship
45:59because she wasn't that into him?
46:01Claire, why are you so wrapped up in that?
46:04Aren't you in heaven with Damon?
46:05Because I haven't heard you shut up about him
46:07in the last three months.
46:09Well, I'm sorry I didn't shut up long enough
46:11to hear of your disastrous plan
46:12to date the she-devil herself.
46:15I would have talked you out of it.
46:17You don't even know her, Claire.
46:18Seems like I don't know either of you.
46:20And whose fault is that?
46:22Listen, I can tell you
46:24exactly what Damon had for breakfast.
46:26But as soon as I share an important detail
46:28of my love life for once,
46:29you get up on your high horse
46:31and you rain judgment on everyone below you.
46:35I'm over it.
46:45Well, that went well.
46:47Uh-oh.
46:48How bad?
46:49If a dumpster fire filled with fuzzy puppies
46:52was a 10,
46:53then that was a 14.7.
46:56Gross.
46:57I'm sorry, babe.
46:58I know it couldn't happen easy,
47:00but at least Claire stopped talking long enough
47:02for you to tell her.
47:03That feels like a small win.
47:05I guess.
47:06I don't know.
47:07It's hard because I don't even know
47:09what I'm supposed to be telling her.
47:10Like, I didn't say that you were my girlfriend
47:12because you and Jake just broke up
47:14and I totally respect that.
47:16I think after last night,
47:18it's pretty safe to say you're my girlfriend, Zoe.
47:22Cool.
47:24Cool.
47:25Chelsea, I really like you
47:28and I haven't been this happy with someone
47:30in a long time.
47:32I just wish that Claire could get her head
47:34out of her butt for five seconds
47:36to be excited for me.
47:39Whatever.
47:41I don't need her.
47:43I have you.
47:44As much as I'd love to have Claire
47:46out of my life forever,
47:47you guys have way too much history to throw it away.
47:49But that dumpster fire I was talking about,
47:51yeah, it's active.
47:53Babe, I'm serious.
47:55You guys have been friends forever
47:56and I'm sure you've taken your turns
47:57over the years being the needy one.
48:00Babe, I'm serious.
48:02You guys have been friends forever
48:03and I'm sure you've taken your turns
48:04over the years being the needy one.
48:06Yeah, well, her 90 days have expired.
48:09They're done.
48:11I'm over it.
48:12I've never known you to be the type
48:13to not say what's on your mind,
48:15but for some reason with Claire,
48:17you just bottled up
48:18and it's like you forgot
48:19how to stand up for yourself.
48:21Well, she dominates
48:23every single conversation
48:24with me and Damon did this
48:25and me and Damon did that.
48:27So you're telling me
48:28you haven't had a single chance
48:30to tell her about us
48:31or about how you were feeling
48:32or you may be holding back
48:34because you knew how she'd respond.
48:38Maybe.
48:39Claire's the one who needs to apologize,
48:41but she's not the only one in the wrong.
48:43Why do you have to be so perfect?
48:49Bad habit.
48:52Alright, let me figure this out.
48:55Okay, call me back.
48:57Bye.
49:00Hey, what's going on?
49:02Chelsea?
49:02Did I open a cursed box?
49:04Was I a serial killer in a past life?
49:07What horrible karma am I due
49:09that Chelsea exists to date everyone I love?
49:11She hasn't dated me.
49:12I will literally murder.
49:14She hasn't dated me.
49:15I will literally murder.
49:18Sounds like you'll be a serial killer
49:19in this life, too.
49:20Why aren't you more bothered by this?
49:22Don't you feel bad for Jake?
49:24No, do you?
49:26No.
49:27Look, she has just weaseled her way
49:28through our entire friend group
49:30and I'm sick of it.
49:31I thought you guys were becoming buds.
49:32Didn't she set you up with Miko?
49:34Oh, yeah.
49:35Another way how she's ruined our lives.
49:38Why can't she just stay in her lane?
49:42What?
49:44Nothing.
49:45I just...
49:45I hope you weren't like this with Zoe.
49:48I think it's cool.
49:49Zoe's never really had a relationship stick,
49:50has she?
49:51So maybe the fact that she's bringing this up to you
49:54could be something serious.
49:57Why'd she wait so long to tell me then?
49:59Maybe because she knew you were going to act like you did?
50:02Okay, so you think I'm the jerk.
50:04No, no.
50:06I just...
50:06I think it's...
50:08Maybe it's your turn to be the best friend.
50:10Yeah, the best friend to someone who's just screamed at me.
50:13Zoe's literally never screamed at anyone.
50:15She's the chillest person I know.
50:17I'm sorry to say it, babe.
50:18You know I'm on your side,
50:19but if she's this upset...
50:22I was wrong.
50:24You're still very cute, though.
50:26And I bet you're even cuter when you apologize.
50:28Not that I've ever seen it, but...
50:30I'm sure we'll get there one day.
50:32Don't hold your breath.
50:36Okay.
50:38I am going to give her the best,
50:41best friend apology she's ever had.
50:43You got this.
50:44I'm proud of you.
50:46And thanks for loving me,
50:48even though I'm a teeny tiny bit difficult.
50:52Of course.
50:53You got this.
50:59Pick up.
51:00Please pick up.
51:02Never have I ever...
51:04Been the biggest jerk in the history of the world?
51:07I was gonna say been so selfish to someone who's always been there for me,
51:12but yours works too.
51:14I messed up.
51:16You messed up big time.
51:17I know.
51:18I freaked.
51:20I'm just...
51:20I'm so tired of hearing Chelsea's name.
51:22But that doesn't matter.
51:27Because this isn't about me.
51:30Well, you're gonna be hearing it a lot more.
51:33Seriously, Claire.
51:34I've never felt this way about anybody before.
51:37I think she might be...
51:39I think she might be...
51:40My person.
51:42If you're happy...
51:44I'm happy.
51:46Truly.
51:47Look, I love you, so...
51:49You're my best friend.
51:50And I'm yours, and you are not allowed to replace me.
51:54You're my best friend.
51:56And I'm yours, and you are not allowed to replace me.
52:00You know there's an app for that.
52:01Best friend for hire?
52:03Yeah, but unfortunately, they don't seem to have anybody as good as you.
52:08I checked.
52:13I'm sorry, too.
52:14I should've told you way sooner.
52:17It's just I was afraid that you were gonna freak out, which...
52:20You did.
52:21And I know Chelsea's probably the worst person for this to happen with, but...
52:25If you guys just gave each other a chance, I'm sure you would get along.
52:30Wait.
52:32Chelsea doesn't like me?
52:33But if you like her, I guess she can't be all that bad.
52:42Now, spill the deets.
52:45You have dirt to catch me up on.
52:46Well, let's just say last night wasn't just...
52:49Your special night?
