00:00:00All I knew was marrying my childhood crush.
00:00:04It just matters that you and I have to keep this family's good name.
00:00:06I had no idea how much it would break my heart.
00:00:09The director wants to bring in Victoria Vaughn.
00:00:11She's like a huge deal.
00:00:13I want to be hosts.
00:00:14You can be whatever he wants you to be.
00:00:16Anything?
00:00:18Look at her.
00:00:19And look at me.
00:00:20We make sense.
00:00:21Not you and her.
00:00:22All he sees are my flaws.
00:00:24You think I'm ugly, don't you?
00:00:25This is the guy you've had a giant crush on since you were a kid.
00:00:28You seem so obsessed with this Sloan girl.
00:00:32She hates me!
00:00:33Sloan's my friend.
00:00:34Don't get in the way of what I want.
00:00:36Now that Ava's here, it feels like you don't care about me anymore.
00:00:40I miss having you at home.
00:00:42This marriage is just a good business deal.
00:00:45Why was everything so much better when we were kids?
00:00:52All I knew was that I was marrying my childhood crush.
00:00:59The little boy I steal cookies and make trouble with.
00:01:03Yet, I had no idea how much it would break my heart.
00:01:17You can do this, Ava.
00:01:18You can do this.
00:01:24You're nervous.
00:01:26Why isn't she walking yet?
00:01:27She's probably nervous too.
00:01:29We haven't seen each other since you were kids.
00:01:31I'm not worried.
00:01:33I've always liked her.
00:01:45So she hasn't lost the baby.
00:01:47Yeah, honestly, I can't believe he even agreed to this.
00:01:50Her family's so rich and they couldn't afford to buy a dress that actually fits.
00:01:55I guess there isn't enough money in the world to buy the amount of fabric she'd need.
00:02:01People are whispering.
00:02:03This wedding brings together two of the area's richest families.
00:02:06This is a great day.
00:02:09I'm proud of you.
00:02:11I'm proud of you.
00:02:13Enough money to buy a taste either.
00:02:15Such a shame.
00:02:19I'd be embarrassed to see that on the street.
00:02:21Being a self-address lining the trash can outside.
00:02:31Hi.
00:02:46Hi Alfie.
00:02:50You have lipstick on your teeth.
00:02:52Oh.
00:03:00What was Alfie thinking?
00:03:02I would be so embarrassed to be seen with her on the street, let alone the altar.
00:03:06I can't believe he's going to wake up to her looking like that every day.
00:03:11Go ahead.
00:03:11Let's, uh, get this over.
00:03:13Ladies and gentlemen.
00:03:22Did you see what your grandfather gave to me?
00:03:24He asked me to wear it at your family's annual garden party.

00:19:11somebody call 9-1-1
00:19:12what happened
00:19:13he ate a cookie and started having some sort of reaction
00:19:17They were cookies from Ava.
00:19:20You put cinnamon in them.
00:19:22Ava, is this true?
00:19:24You've known this for years.
00:19:25I didn't put any cinnamon in them.
00:19:27You have to believe me.
00:19:28I didn't do it.
00:19:29Ava, enough with the blaming.
00:19:31He could die.
00:19:34No, no, no, no.
00:19:45We should dump these.
00:19:46They've caused enough harm.
00:19:53Are you crazy?
00:19:54Leave the cookies, are you?
00:19:56People are watching and you'll ruin your dress.
00:19:58I don't care about my dress, Alfie.
00:20:00I care that you know that I would never harm
00:20:02the one person that actually cares about me here.
00:20:06Sloan did this.
00:20:07Did what?
00:20:09What purposely hurt my grandfather to, what, frame you?
00:20:13Yes, because she hates me.
00:20:16Even more so now that I'm beautiful
00:20:18and I have the best designer clothes
00:20:19and the husband that she wants.
00:20:21She tries to embarrass me every chance that she gets
00:20:24and obviously it is working.
00:20:25Listen to yourself.
00:20:26No, you listen!
00:20:28There is a reason why I had to wait
00:20:30from these fake people for so long.
00:20:32I assumed you'd be different, but you're not.
00:20:34This is ridiculous.
00:20:36My grandfather is in the hospital right now.
00:20:39I don't have time to be arguing with you.
00:20:41You should never marry me.
00:20:45It wasn't my choice.
00:20:48I don't know.
00:20:50I mean, the world
00:20:51It's echt of a bigimagination
00:21:19Dear Diary, today was my 11th birthday party.
00:21:23The magician was fine, but playing with Ava was even better.
00:21:28Ava and I stuck into the kitchen to steal some of the cookies that Mrs. Christy gets at the special
00:21:33market.
00:21:34I was nervous someone would see us, but Ava was so brave.
00:21:37I felt brave too.
00:21:38Grandpa says I should be more mindful of what I do since I'll be in charge one day.
00:21:43But Ava reminded me that we love these cookies.
00:21:47They make us happy.
00:21:49And she likes when I smile.
00:21:51Not just because I lost my friend too.
00:21:55I hope we are friends forever.
00:21:58Love Alfie.
00:22:01Come in!
00:22:02Hey, I got a call.
00:22:05Your grandfather's gonna be okay?
00:22:07Good.
00:22:15I'm gonna go sleep on the couch.
00:22:28Smells great, Miss Christy.
00:22:31I'll take a plate.
00:22:39Miss Ava made it, sir.
00:22:41I tried to save you some leftovers, but she wouldn't let me.
00:22:45I'm sorry.
00:22:47It's such a shame, too, because it's very good.
00:22:50I can make you a sandwich.
00:22:58Hey, where are you going?
00:23:00And why are you dressed so nicely?
00:23:02You don't need to know.
00:23:04This marriage is just a good business, yo.
00:23:06Nothing more.
00:23:08Remember.
00:23:20You're gonna be an incredible host.
00:23:22Oh, I know.
00:23:23I can't wait to meet the director.
00:23:25He's going to love me.
00:23:27Have you thought about what dish you want to cook for the screen test?
00:23:30Oh, honey, I don't need to actually cook.
00:23:34I just gotta look like my usual gorgeous self.
00:23:38Everything else is fake.
00:23:39Ava?
00:23:40What?
00:23:41Here you go.
00:23:44Thought I'd find you two here.
00:23:54I'm here to meet the director, Leo.
00:23:56Why?
00:23:58None of your business.
00:24:01S-L-O-A-N-E, Salone.
00:24:04What's up, girl?
00:24:06Hey, hey, Jude.
00:24:07What's up?
00:24:08I love you.
00:24:09Yes, we'll love you.
00:24:10Hi.
00:24:11I am here for the hosting job.
00:24:13I'm a mistake, I'm sure.
00:24:15This is Ava Harrison, and for some reason, she thought she could be the host.
00:24:19Uh, Ava Harrison, as in Alfie Harrison's wife.
00:24:24Yes, I'm his wife, but I also...
00:24:26Hold that thought, Ava.
00:24:27Uh, Leo.
00:24:28Hello.
00:24:29Excuse me, one second.
00:24:30All right, let's go.
00:24:33Leo, what are you doing?
00:24:35Sloan's our host.
00:24:38Uh, she's supposed to be, but what am I going to do, say no to Alfie Harrison's wife?
00:24:44No, I'm not.
00:24:45You want to make a show or not?
00:24:48I don't know what you're trying to do with this whole new look.
00:24:52But I'm warning you.
00:24:53Don't get in the way of what I want.
00:24:56Or what?
00:25:12You should be resting.
00:25:13You should be resting.
00:25:14Nonsense.
00:25:16I needed to talk with you.
00:25:17What happened yesterday was frightening.
00:25:20The thought of losing you.
00:25:21I'm only getting older.
00:25:25All this that I built means nothing unless you are fulfilled in life.
00:25:34Whatever is happening with Ava.
00:25:36Ah.
00:25:41I'll cancel my meetings for today.
00:25:48Jude.
00:25:50What do you, what do you mean Ava's there?
00:25:55She's at the TV station.
00:25:58No, I had nothing to do with it.
00:26:01I'm headed over.
00:26:12It's good though, okay?
00:26:13Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:26:14It's crazy.
00:26:14Yeah, thanks for it.
00:26:18I got it.
00:26:19A screen test.
00:26:20Huh?
00:26:21Just what I want.
00:26:22Let's play this fair and square.
00:26:24Not what I want.
00:26:25I was supposed to have this spot.
00:26:27We're already going to do one.
00:26:28Why not a little bit of friendly competition?
00:26:31Sloan, huh?
00:26:33Oh, uh...
00:26:34Just go with it.
00:26:36I called Al.
00:26:38That's a fantastic idea.
00:26:41I'm just going to go to the bathroom.
00:27:11Al, what are you doing here?
00:27:13Ava, why are you here?
00:27:14Did you tell her she could be the host?
00:27:17No, you didn't.
00:27:18Oh, so you just thought you could waltz in here and take it?
00:27:21Enough from you two.
00:27:23Hey.
00:27:24Ava, I did tell Sloan, you know, that she can have this job.
00:27:28She can.
00:27:30If she has a better screen test.
00:27:32You think you could do better than me on camera?
00:27:36This will be good.
00:27:38Okay, fine, fine.
00:27:39Yeah, I guess it's only fair that I have some competition.
00:27:46Alfie, you should be the judge.
00:27:48What?
00:27:49He is our largest investor, after all.
00:27:52You may as well just make Sloan the host.
00:27:55Me.
00:27:56Alfie prefers her anyways.
00:28:01Hey.
00:28:03You'd be surprised what my preferences are.
00:28:18All right, everyone.
00:28:20Today, you'll be making a balsamic-glazed pork tenderloin.
00:28:25Action.
00:28:27Today, I'm going to show you how to make a delicious balsamic-glazed pork tenderloin
00:28:33without the balsamic-glazed.
00:28:36Sometimes, people run out of key ingredients at the worst time.
00:28:40I'm here to save your day.
00:28:42So, if you're like me, and you feel like a challenge,
00:28:47this is what you'll need.
00:28:51She needs a glaze.
00:28:52It's in the name, Leo!
00:29:22Do you need a hand?
00:29:23Shut up!
00:29:25All right.
00:29:26All done here, folks.
00:29:28You can pair it with a red wine,
00:29:30or really anything.
00:29:44Mmm.
00:29:47Mmm.
00:29:52Mmm.
00:30:00I think we can all agree
00:30:07Ava is the clear winner here
00:30:11I mean, come on, Sloane
00:30:12Even you can't deny it
00:30:15You know what?
00:30:16I was going to have the Victoria Vaughn
00:30:19Come in for a screen test
00:30:20But I'm just going to call her right now
00:30:22Let her know that we found our girl
00:30:33Hi, Leo
00:30:39Victoria?
00:30:42Wait, Ava?
00:30:43I told you guys the director called me
00:30:45You're Victoria Vaughn
00:30:46Guilty
00:30:47Food is my passion
00:30:51I just use a different name in my articles and books
00:30:54So people don't judge me for who I really am
00:30:56If I'm going to be part of the show
00:30:59Then I think
00:31:01What's the matter?
00:31:02Someone must have messed with my vinegar
00:31:05That's why my food tasted so bad
00:31:07Your dish tasted bad
00:31:09Because you're a bad chef
00:31:11You used straight vinegar, not balsamic
00:31:14My dish tasted good because I didn't use the balsamic that you tampered with
00:31:20What are you talking about, Ava?
00:31:24Alfie, you don't think I would actually harm her, do you?
00:31:36Alfie, you don't think I would actually harm her, do you?
00:31:44Here we go again
00:31:46Sloane playing the victim
00:31:48And let me guess
00:31:49You're going to take her side, aren't you?
00:31:51Ava
00:31:56I know Sloane
00:31:57She isn't dumb enough to hurt my wife
00:32:03Thank you, Alfie
00:32:06Alfie, can I pull you aside for a second?
00:32:08No
00:32:10If I'm going to be part of the show
00:32:13Then I think I should
00:32:14And Leo should
00:32:16Hear what you have to say about it
00:32:19Come on
00:32:20This is business stuff
00:32:22Either you tell all of us
00:32:24Or I'm out
00:32:31Either you tell all of us
00:32:33Or I'm out
00:32:34Go ahead, share with all of us
00:32:35I'm not losing this great hug
00:32:38Well, it's just
00:32:41Alfie told Sloane she could host
00:32:44Well, Leo's the director
00:32:46It's his choice
00:32:47I'm just wondering
00:32:49Are you the type of guy
00:32:50That would go back on your word?
00:32:53Get to the point, Jude
00:32:55Sloane has that
00:32:56TV look that people expect
00:32:59Ava's gorgeous, too
00:33:00But there will always be
00:33:02That concern about whether she can
00:33:03Maintain her new look
00:33:05This is a cooking show
00:33:07There will be lots of calories around
00:33:08You know
00:33:13Yeah
00:33:14Jude, you make
00:33:16Some big points
00:33:17I do
00:33:18I mean, I do
00:33:19Thank you for noticing
00:33:21Yeah
00:33:22Yeah
00:33:23You know, I think
00:33:24I think there is a better project
00:33:26That you can be helping me on
00:33:27Really?
00:33:27Yeah
00:33:36Holy hell
00:33:43Your new job
00:33:45Is to stay away from me
00:33:46My wife
00:33:47And my businesses
00:33:49Now get out of here
00:33:50You're crazy
00:33:51Get out of here
00:34:00So Ava's the host
00:34:01Yes
00:34:02Definitely
00:34:03Alfie
00:34:04Sloane
00:34:05How would you like to be the cooking assistant of the show?
00:34:10Obviously Ava is the choice for host
00:34:14Why should I say Victoria Vaughn?
00:34:21Alfie!
00:34:22Sloane
00:34:22How would you like to be the cooking assistant of the show?
00:34:31Ava?
00:34:32Ava?
00:34:33Ava?
00:34:36Ava Ava Ava
00:34:37Ava, stop
00:34:37Where are you going?
00:34:39Stop pretending like you're interested in me
00:34:40Like you're taking care of me
00:34:43I realize now
00:34:44It's just because you know that I'm Victoria Vaughn
00:34:47All you care about is reputation
00:34:49It's pathetic
00:34:53Ava, stop
00:34:54That's not it
00:34:55You were so impressive in there
00:34:57That's all
00:34:58Stop lying to me
00:34:59And yourself
00:35:01I'm a liar
00:35:02Then why don't you tell me you were Victoria Vaughn?
00:35:05Because
00:35:06I wanted you to like me
00:35:08For me
00:35:24I don't want Sloane to be my assistant
00:35:26I am this again?
00:35:28Alfie, I don't trust her
00:35:31Why are you even following me anyways?
00:35:33Shouldn't you be inside with your real love?
00:35:35Enough of that
00:35:36Sloane's my friend
00:35:37If I wanted to marry her
00:35:39I would have
00:35:40No
00:35:40You wouldn't have
00:35:41Because that wouldn't be what your grandfather wanted
00:35:57I can't wait to be the assistant
00:36:00It's an honor
00:36:02Cheers
00:36:02Yes
00:36:03This is going to be amazing
00:36:16Oh
00:36:19I
00:36:19I just need a snack
00:36:22I'll take it upstairs
00:36:23Hey, you can stay
00:36:24It's night time
00:36:25Hit me in the morning
00:36:26Just
00:36:27Stay
00:36:28For now
00:36:33You got cookies too?
00:36:35Yep
00:36:37Not as good as the
00:36:38Special market ones
00:36:40What even was that market?
00:36:42I don't know
00:36:43I thought you would know
00:36:44Miss Christy won't tell me
00:36:46I look
00:36:47I look at every shop I go to
00:36:49So do I
00:36:55Why was everything so much better when we were kids?
00:36:59These cookies
00:37:00You and me
00:37:03What changed?
00:37:08Ava, I am
00:37:09Oh
00:37:10I should go to bed
00:37:14I made you a friend early
00:37:15For a workout
00:37:31Morning sleepyhead
00:37:35I need breakfast
00:37:37Come join me downstairs
00:37:39Before it gets cold
00:38:08Ava,
00:38:09I've been a fool.
00:38:11I've been so caught up in the game and the stupid rules,
00:38:16and I shouldn't have let them get into my head,
00:38:19and I said things to you,
00:38:21awful things that I wish I could take back.
00:38:25I know you didn't mean to hurt me.
00:38:27No. Never.
00:38:30I see how amazing you are,
00:38:34just as you are, just as you've always been.
00:38:37You are an incredible woman.
00:38:41You're intelligent,
00:38:43you're beautiful, and you're talented,
00:38:46and I shouldn't have taken you for granted.
00:38:59Will you forgive me?
00:39:12I don't know.
00:39:14I don't know.
00:39:28I don't need to hurt.
00:39:57Alfie?
00:40:00Hey, what are you up to?
00:40:02I'm with a friend.
00:40:04Is everything all right?
00:40:06No, no.
00:40:06Tell Grandpa.
00:40:08Yep, everything is...
00:40:11Who are you with?
00:40:12I said I was with a friend, I just told you.
00:40:16Do you need something?
00:40:17Which friend?
00:40:19I'm not doing this right now, Alfie.
00:40:20Goodbye.
00:40:33Did you just hang up on Alfie Harrison?
00:40:37I'm just shocked.
00:40:38I know things haven't been perfect, but this is the guy you've had a giant crush on since
00:40:42you were a kid, right?
00:40:43Teddy, that's enough.
00:40:44The man of your dreams?
00:40:46Yeah, well, I'm not sure my dreams were correct.
00:40:50He seems so obsessed with this Sloan girl.
00:40:53Forget Sloan!
00:40:54I wish I could, but she's everywhere.
00:40:59What?
00:41:01It's just...
00:41:02I don't know.
00:41:03We had a moment last night.
00:41:06It felt like he was the man that I remembered.
00:41:11I loved it.
00:41:12I...
00:41:12I love...
00:41:14Love...
00:41:15You...
00:41:17You love him.
00:41:19I didn't say that.
00:41:22You need to go talk to that man now.
00:41:25I'm not doing this with you.
00:41:26Goodbye.
00:41:28Maybe I do all in a conversation.
00:41:41Today, I'm gonna show you how to make a delicious balsamic...
00:41:46Today, I'm gonna show you how to make...
00:41:50Alfie?
00:41:51I need to tell you something.
00:41:53And I'm afraid if I don't tell you now, I never will.
00:41:57What's going on?
00:41:59The way you stood up for Ava at the cook-off...
00:42:02It just...
00:42:03It made me think about how you used to do that for me.
00:42:06Well, my...
00:42:07Support for you was expected by my family, but...
00:42:11I know that hasn't changed.
00:42:12It just...
00:42:14It feels like you don't care about me anymore.
00:42:16Now that Ava's here.
00:42:18Yeah, I guess, you know, things are different now that I'm a married man.
00:42:24How different.
00:42:27Alfie, I know you're working, but...
00:42:28This isn't...
00:42:30Ava, what are you, uh...
00:42:36Ava, what are you, uh...
00:42:38Ava, what are you, uh...
00:42:39Um, what are you doing here?
00:42:40I want a divorce!
00:42:46What were you thinking?
00:42:46I-I don't know.
00:42:48I-I'm sorry.
00:42:49I'll go make your eggs...
00:42:50No, Sloan, you've done enough.
00:42:57Mr. Harrison, you should get some sleep.
00:43:00I want to stay awake for when she comes home.
00:43:01She packed up her things.
00:43:03She forgot her robe, but other than that, she told me she's no longer sleeping here anymore.
00:43:08No, she has to come back.
00:43:10I-I'll-I'll make sure she comes home.
00:43:18I-I need you to slice this undie.
00:43:22Sloan, you need to be four pages to your left.
00:43:24But the camera doesn't record over there.
00:43:26No, sir.
00:43:32Okay, everyone settle in.
00:43:34We go live in three, two, one, action.
00:43:39Hi, everyone.
00:43:41Welcome back.
00:43:42Today, we're going to be making an onion soup.
00:43:45Delicious on a cool evening and great with bread.
00:43:49First, we're going to need some sliced onions.
00:43:57Today's your lucky day because it doesn't appear my assistant knows how to slice.
00:44:01So, I'm going to show her and all of you the best way to go.
00:44:07Everyone, welcome Sloan.
00:44:11Now, watch carefully.
00:44:14This will be fast.
00:44:19Now for the fun part, caramelizing.
00:44:27Nothing more relaxing than stirring onions in a pot for 20 minutes.
00:44:34I'm serious!
00:45:17First, we're going to need some sliced onions.
00:45:22Hmm.
00:45:23I can smell the food from the bedroom.
00:45:25What are you making?
00:45:26Just onion soup.
00:45:28I'm watching the pro on the iPad.
00:45:30I'm going to show her and all of you the best way to go.
00:45:33Oh, I'm so sorry.
00:45:35But before you ask me to turn it off, at least have a taste.
00:45:39Now, watch carefully.
00:45:42Mmm.
00:45:44If this is what it tastes like you're not even done, I am happy to let you finish.
00:45:47I can't wait to have a bowl of this.
00:45:50Would you like some?
00:45:51Only if you'll sit with me.
00:45:53Really?
00:45:55The last time we ate together was when you were in a high chair and I was feeding you.
00:46:01Yeah, well there's nobody to tell me that I can't eat with the help.
00:46:05If I get teary, it's because of the onion.
00:46:12And that is onion soup.
00:46:16Ava's way.
00:46:18And cut.
00:46:20That's a wrap, people.
00:46:21Great work, everyone.
00:46:23What a fun episode.
00:46:26The network called at lunch and they are thrilled with the show.
00:46:31I'm so happy to hear we're getting good reviews.
00:46:35We know if I got more sweet time.
00:46:36I'd rather not fix something that isn't broken.
00:46:39Ava, my beautiful star.
00:46:41Yes.
00:46:41Keep up the good work, okay?
00:46:43Come on.
00:46:46Miss Lee, the coffee you ordered?
00:46:49Give me a water.
00:46:51Yes, miss?
00:46:52Can you help?
00:46:55It's fine.
00:46:56It's fine.
00:46:57It's fine.
00:46:57It's fine.
00:47:05So, what do you think, Mr. Harrison?
00:47:11Could you, um, repeat that?
00:47:16We were discussing the recent errors with our clients.
00:47:20And we're going to apologize and make things right before things get worse.
00:47:23If we move quickly, we can salvage a relationship.
00:47:26What do you think?
00:47:28Better now than later.
00:47:32Excuse me, gentlemen.
00:47:33I, um, have to handle something important.
00:47:40I need to fix this before it's too late.
00:47:49Alfie.
00:47:57I miss having you at home.
00:47:59It, it, it feels so empty.
00:48:01And Miss Christie, she misses you too.
00:48:04I do miss Miss Christie.
00:48:07Did she push you up to this?
00:48:09Up to what?
00:48:11Okay.
00:48:13Hello, we haven't formally met.
00:48:16There's no...
00:48:17Come on.
00:48:27Quiet on set.
00:48:30You don't seem to recognize me.
00:48:34I was at your garden party.
00:48:36And your wedding.
00:48:42Uh...
00:48:43Is everyone a friend of yours?
00:48:44She is.
00:48:46Yeah.
00:48:48I care about her a lot.
00:48:50Quiet on set.
00:48:52Where's Sloan?
00:48:54Somebody find her for me, please?
00:48:56I need her to find the tomatoes.
00:48:58Huh.
00:49:01I can't.
00:49:02Why?
00:49:03I don't want to.
00:49:04I'll go find her.
00:49:06For the sake of time.
00:49:14That bitch won't get away with this.
00:49:18See how her numbers do after this?
00:49:21Sloan.
00:49:24I thought I can trust you.
00:49:26Come on, I defended you.
00:49:27It's not what it looks like.
00:49:28It's...
00:49:29It's a prank.
00:49:30It's a prank?
00:49:31Go ahead, drink it yourself.
00:49:31Go ahead.
00:49:32Okay.
00:49:33It's not a prank.
00:49:35Just...
00:49:36You have to understand.
00:49:38She has taken everything that I deserve.
00:49:41You.
00:49:42The show.
00:49:43Your grandfather's necklace.
00:49:45Bobby.
00:49:46Look at her.
00:49:48And look at me.
00:49:51We make sense.
00:49:52Not you and her.
00:49:54Everyone sees it.
00:49:56You are delusional.
00:49:59We were never gonna get married.
00:50:02I was never gonna give you that necklace.
00:50:04And my grandfather...
00:50:06meets you.
00:50:09Yeah, well that's what the cinnamon was for.
00:50:18Oh!
00:50:19Hey!
00:50:23Get out of my sight.
00:50:25Go, get out of my...
00:50:26Get out of my sight right now.
00:50:27Go.
00:50:27Go, go.
00:50:27Go, go, go, go, go, go, go.
00:50:31Ava was right all along.
00:50:39Welcome, everybody, to today's episode of Home Cook.
00:50:43I'm your host, Ava, and today we are going to make a delicious lamb dish.
00:50:47Hi.
00:50:48Hey, that's my job, if you don't mind.
00:50:51Just want to take a second.
00:50:53Sloan, you're fired.
00:50:55Why?
00:50:56I made the mistake of putting trust in you for your mom when you were the least bit deserving of
00:51:01it.
00:51:01You are nothing like her, and it's clear that I put trust in a wrong woman.
00:51:08Alfie, please.
00:51:09Just leave.
00:51:10Don't talk to anybody in my circle again.
00:51:12You're cut.
00:51:17Can we get started again, Mr. Harrison?
00:51:19Yes.
00:51:20He's done with the theatrics.
00:51:34The beauty of this dish is that it's delicious and forgiving.
00:51:39You treat the lamb well.
00:51:40You season everything right.
00:51:42It has the potential to become something great.
00:51:46You just have to give it time.
00:51:48You be patient.
00:51:51Some people aren't cut out for these types of dishes.
00:51:54They expect perfection.
00:51:56But you never know if it's perfect until you cut in.
00:52:09Everyone, I have an announcement.
00:52:12Thank you to you and all of your hard work for bringing my wife's talents across the country.
00:52:18I am personally giving you all a bonus.
00:52:35I don't get it.
00:52:37I fired Sloan.
00:52:38I gave everybody bonuses, and I brought her flowers.
00:52:40There must be something else that I can do to make it right.
00:52:43I don't know if it's going to be.
00:52:46What do you think?
00:52:48I'm as good as Avis.
00:52:50It may not be as good as Miss Avis' version, but it's still food, so eat it.
00:52:54Or else more cereal for you.
00:52:57I thought she would be happy with me for firing Sloan.
00:52:59I basically admitted she was right about everything.
00:53:01I wish she was.
00:53:05I miss her.
00:53:08You finally saw the truth.
00:53:10And I'm sure part of her appreciates what you did today.
00:53:15But the plain fact...
00:53:29...is that it may have been too late.
00:53:32And a woman like Ava doesn't actually need a man in her life.
00:53:39I think I may need her, though.
00:53:48Wait.
00:53:49I had it.
00:53:50Miss Christy?
00:53:52I need to break your arm.
00:53:57If you hurt one hair on my body, I have a mean punch and I'll use it.
00:54:01I mean, you have to break your arm for real.
00:54:03Just pretend Ava will come home in an instant to take care of you.
00:54:07And then she'll see that I've changed and she'll stay for good.
00:54:12You want me to lie to her?
00:54:15I love her.
00:54:16And I need your help.
00:54:17This is my one last shot, and I cannot live without her.
00:54:21Please.
00:54:29Where is she?
00:54:30Oh, Ava, is that you?
00:54:33You didn't need to come back.
00:54:35Of course I did.
00:54:36What happened?
00:54:37What did the doctor say?
00:54:39The doctor said it'll take me two...
00:54:41I need three months to heal.
00:54:44I hate to ask you this, but can you stay here just until I'm better?
00:54:49Please.
00:54:50If my housework doesn't get done, I may get fired.
00:54:57Miss Christy, nobody is firing you.
00:55:00But I will come back to help out around the house.
00:55:11This looks delicious.
00:55:13Thanks, Ava.
00:55:15So, Miss Christy, how do you like the chili flakes I added in there?
00:55:20The chili flakes are great.
00:55:27Oh, no.
00:55:28I'm going to go to bed.
00:55:30Goodbye.
00:55:37Mmm, this is delicious.
00:55:40I really like the chili flakes, too.
00:55:46So, um, how's work been?
00:55:49I can't believe the season's almost over.
00:55:51It's been great since Sloane has gone.
00:55:54The wrap party will be so much more fun without her there.
00:55:57I'm so sorry that I didn't recognize Sloane's dastardly ways earlier on.
00:56:02You're too trusting.
00:56:04You've got to follow your gut.
00:56:06Even if it may not be the best look.
00:56:08You're right.
00:56:11You've always been right.
00:56:17Hey, can I, uh, take the master bedroom?
00:56:20I think the couch is doing a number on my back since Miss Christy took the guest bed.
00:56:24No, you may not.
00:56:28Also, you have to clean up the dishes.
00:56:39He's going to be here.
00:56:42No, beautiful.
00:56:46You're good.
00:56:47You're good.
00:56:50You're good.
00:56:55You're good.
00:56:59I think I love you.
00:58:02I can't sleep.
00:58:05I know what will help.
00:58:13How often do you cook breakfast at 2 a.m.?
00:58:17This is the first.
00:58:21We're going to need some strawberries for these pancakes.
00:58:24Right, of course.
00:58:25We're also going to need some hot sauce for the eggs.
00:58:29Love where your head's at.
00:58:46I could eat like this every day.
00:58:48You still can.
00:58:51Are you saying you're coming back for good?
00:58:53I haven't decided yet.
00:58:56Miss Christy is getting a lot better, so...
00:58:58But you're my wife.
00:59:01Your wife in a marriage that is basically a business deal.
00:59:07Oh, come on.
00:59:08That was a joke.
00:59:09Sort of.
00:59:10It was a good one.
00:59:12I'm just...
00:59:13I'm tired.
00:59:16You know, every time we're in this kitchen at night,
00:59:21it feels like I'm back with the little boy I had a crush on.
00:59:25And then out there in the world, you're totally different.
00:59:29I like the version here in the kitchen.
00:59:32I can actually get a read on him.
00:59:46Good morning.
00:59:48Heard you up late last night.
00:59:49I need to know where you bought the cookies.
00:59:51I've told you a million times.
00:59:53I'm not telling you.
00:59:54I need to know.
00:59:56Those cookies, they make me happy.
00:59:58And what's more is they make Ava happy.
00:59:59I just want her to enjoy that taste.
01:00:02Alfie, we have to go to the wrap party.
01:00:06Even if I told you, there wouldn't be enough time.
01:00:09I'll make time.
01:00:15If I give you this, you have to promise you're going to guard it with your wife.
01:00:19Of course.
01:00:26What is this?
01:00:27That right there is a piece of paper that my mother gave to me around the time you were born.
01:00:32This is her recipe.
01:00:34You made all those cookies.
01:00:36Yes and yes.
01:00:38And I didn't want you to know or ask you bug me all the time because...
01:00:43It was so good.
01:00:44You've got some work to do.
01:00:46No.
01:00:48You can't.
01:00:49You need to make me a batch for Ava.
01:00:51I don't think so, darling.
01:00:54Why don't you go get familiar with the kitchen?
01:00:56No.
01:00:57Um, just...
01:01:03But the rest of us are going to be alive.
01:01:05I don't know.
01:01:06I Mensch.
01:01:08I'm just like, I don't know anymore.
01:01:10I don't know.
01:01:13Oh, anyway.
01:01:14It's like I'm out of here.
01:01:16I don't know The Switch.
01:01:16I like I'm out of here.
01:01:18But the Switch is different.
01:01:21I don't know.
01:01:22That's how I did it.
01:01:23I'm out of here.
01:01:28That's how I cut.
01:01:52Oh crap, of course.
01:02:10Thank you all for such a fun season.
01:02:14I can't wait to do it all again.
01:02:16You're here.
01:02:19Bravo.
01:02:21Bravo.
01:02:24Raffi, I didn't think you were coming.
01:02:26I am the largest investor.
01:02:29Why wouldn't I?
01:02:36Ava, you love this man?
01:02:40I love this man very much.
01:02:43Are you jealous?
01:02:46How can you be so cruel?
01:02:52You know who also loves him?
01:02:55His boyfriend, Luca.
01:02:58You thought wrong.
01:03:06You're still a husband and one.
01:03:08I would never betray those vows like that.
01:03:11No matter what.
01:03:13No matter how many times you remind me that this man really is.
01:03:23No way.
01:03:24What store did you get this from?
01:03:26I said I have one.
01:03:32You have to tell me how you got me.
01:03:35You have to tell me more right now or I'm eating them all without you.
01:03:41You made them?
01:03:42It's a secret.
01:03:43You made them though?
01:03:45You got in the kitchen?
01:03:46You got dirty?
01:03:47I wanted to give you what you wanted.
01:03:49And this is what, you know, you mentioned.
01:03:54Ava, you deserve someone better than me.
01:03:56To think that I let you down even once kills me.
01:04:01You made so many changes into your life to fit my world when really we should have been creating a
01:04:08world of our own.
01:04:13Look at all these people.
01:04:15Rally behind you.
01:04:17Because you are a force inside and out.
01:04:21You are an inspiration inside and out.
01:04:26You are the most beautiful woman I have ever known.
01:04:29Ever since we were kids.
01:04:30Up until right now.
01:04:32I was so foolish.
01:04:34Not to admit it before.
01:04:37Not to worry about how I may look.
01:04:40Or to admit any kind of feeling for anyone.
01:04:42But it's you.
01:04:43I love you.
01:04:44And if you'll have me,
01:04:47I will spend the rest of my life
01:04:49proving to you that this marriage
01:04:51is more than just some convenient business deal to me.
01:04:59To me.
01:05:02To me.
01:05:02To me.
01:05:03To me.
01:05:08To me.
01:05:20To me.
01:05:27I love you.
01:05:32I love you.
01:05:40You
