00:00Senior year. The culmination of all my careful planning.
00:04Perfect grades. The model boyfriend.
00:07It's all falling into place.
00:09Hey Jake!
00:12What'd you want to talk about?
00:14We need to break up.
00:15What?
00:16Come on, Claire.
00:17Things haven't been working out for a while.
00:19But everything was going so well.
00:21I've been seeing someone else.
00:23It's okay, Claire. I mean, it's not the end of the world.
00:28You'll find someone.
00:31Claire.
00:33My jacket?
00:43See you at school.
00:50Look, I get it's only been a week, but this moping, it's gotta stop.
00:55We've been together for two years, though.
00:57Exactly! Forget him. This is our senior year.
01:00Literally the perfect time to just start fresh.
01:02I don't want to start fresh. I just want Jake back.
01:05Wait, wait, wait, pause.
01:07You want to get back together with him?
01:09Of course I do.
01:11Even though he cheated on you.
01:13Even though he cheated on you.
01:16Everyone makes mistakes.
01:18Oh, okay.
01:19Look, sooner or later he's going to realize how much he misses me.
01:22You know you're my best friend, right?
01:24Yeah.
01:25So seeing you like this, it honestly kills me.
01:29So if you really, really want to get back together with Jake, then I'm willing to help you.
01:36Really?
01:37Yeah.
01:38Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you.
01:40Okay, okay, okay, okay.
01:41Okay, there's one thing you can do.
01:43Like, one thing that'll drive him crazy and just straight back into your arms.
01:46What is it?
01:47Operation Jealousy.
01:50Operation Jealousy?
01:52Yep.
01:53You gotta make him crazy jealous, and then he'll be crawling on his knees begging to get back together with you.
01:58Okay, and how do I do that?
02:00Simple.
02:01You bring a hot guy to his birthday party tomorrow.
02:03I don't know.
02:05Seems kind of crazy to me.
02:07Well, you need to trust me, because it's going to work.
02:09Okay, well how am I supposed to find a new boyfriend in the next 24 hours?
02:13Babe, it's 2020.
02:15You know that anything's possible.
02:17Plus, I found this new app called BF Bundle, where you can hire a fake boyfriend for the night.
02:23Wait, how do you know about this?
02:25This is about you. This is about you.
02:28So...
02:30Okay, well how does it work?
02:31Well, first we need to create your profile.
02:33And... done.
02:35Now we just wait.
02:38Actually, hold on, I'm going to add a bio to make you seem a little bit more... fun.
02:45Okay, I am plenty of fun.
02:48Look at you right now.
02:50Okay, fair enough.
02:51Yeah.
02:53And...
02:54Oh, oh, whoa.
02:56You already have a match, dude. You have a match.
02:58And the reviews are raving that he is a total hottie.
03:02Oh my god, let me see.
03:04Swoon-worthy.
03:05Yeah, local 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 meet-up.
03:18Oh.
03:20I'll take this.
03:21Let's see.
03:22Wait, what are you doing?
03:25Done.
03:27You're meeting him today.
03:29Today?
03:30Yeah.
03:31Like, this today?
03:32This one. So... let's get dressed.
03:35Zoe!
03:36Yeah!
03:37Zoe!
03:38Come on!
03:39That is too soon!
03:42I'm sorry.
03:49Damon!
03:50Hey.
03:51I thought you were at a hockey convention all summer.
03:54No, it ended. I just got back into town.
03:56Plus, Jake wouldn't stop going on about his big birthday bash.
03:59Guess I'll see you there?
04:01Um, no. Actually, we broke up.
04:04Oh. Oh, man. I'm sorry to hear that.
04:06Thanks. Well, I'm meeting someone, so have a good night.
04:10Yeah, you too.
04:12Bye.
04:33You know, I'm sure they'll be here any second. You don't have to wait. Thank you, though.
04:37I'm not. I'm actually... I happen to be meeting someone, too.
04:41Do you have to do it right here?
04:43It'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.
04:51Poor thing's going through a rough break-up.
04:58Drama Queen 2020?
05:00Oh, man! What? This is epic!
05:02This is a mistake. Look, forget about everything. You can even keep the money.
05:06Oh, no, no, no. You can't get away that easy.
05:08Please, don't tell Jake about this.
05:10Okay, I won't tell him.
05:12And I'll do you one better.
05:14I'll be your fake boyfriend.
05:18What?
05:20What?
05:21That's why you're in the app, right?
05:22I just wanted to hire someone for a date. You know, make Jake jealous.
05:26Great. I'm in.
05:27No. Look, we can't do that. He's your brother.
05:31Who also happens to be a massive jerk for what he did to you.
05:33I mean, I can't believe he cheated on you.
05:36No one's going to believe that you're actually dating me.
05:39Everyone knows you don't do relationships.
05:42Maybe I'm full of surprises.
05:44No. Forget it. Look, I'll find someone else.
05:46Look, you're not going to do better than going out with Jake's older, charming, and much hotter brother.
05:53Come on. You want to make him jealous, and I want to teach him a lesson. It's a win-win.
06:00Fine. But we follow my plan. No improvising.
06:04Yes, ma'am.
06:06So, when exactly are we going to do this?
06:09Tomorrow night.
06:10That's his birthday party.
06:12Exactly.
06:13That's his birthday party.
06:15Exactly.
06:18Well, you're definitely full of surprises.
06:22Will you please answer the question?
06:24Jeez, take it easy.
06:26I hired you to be my boyfriend, remember? You have to know how we got together in case anyone asks.
06:32Okay, okay, yeah. What was the question?
06:34Where did we go on our first date?
06:38Um...
06:39We had a magical night at the movies.
06:42Do people even go to the movies anymore?
06:44Yes, they do.
06:45Isn't that kind of lame?
06:47It's not lame. It's believable.
06:50No, what we need is an epic love story to blow everyone's mind.
06:56What epic love story? We've been dating for like a week.
07:00Well...
07:03Haven't you ever heard of love at first sight?
07:07Haven't you ever heard of love at first sight?
07:11I've known you for two years, Damon.
07:13Fine, love at second sight.
07:16Look, I just don't want this to blow up in my face because of one misstep.
07:19I'm getting Jake back.
07:21He cheated on you.
07:22It was a mistake. Besides, I put too much in this relationship just to throw it away.
07:26Wow, how romantic.
07:28You just don't understand the value of being in a committed relationship.
07:32Real relationships never work.
07:34That's why I'm on the app.
07:36With fake relationships, I can enjoy it all without any disappointment.
07:42How romantic.
07:46Uh, well, I gotta go. I've got hockey practice before the party tonight.
07:51Wait, we haven't even gone over my favorite hobbies yet.
07:53How about you drop the plan and just go to the movies?
07:56How about you drop the plan and just see where the night takes you?
08:00Ever heard of the risk worth taking?
08:02Ever heard of don't mess with a good thing?
08:04Look, I'll follow your lead tonight, but you need to loosen up.
08:08I mean, have some fun.
08:10When was the last time you had fun, Claire?
08:12I have plenty of fun.
08:14Yeah?
08:15Yeah, that's fun. That's almost too fun.
08:19Can't wait to see that later tonight.
08:27Nope. No more of that.
08:30Didn't realize you're an expert in makeup now.
08:32What I mean is you don't need any makeup. You already look amazing without it.
08:36You can save the theatrics for now. We're not at the party yet.
08:39No, I'm serious. You look beautiful. You always do.
08:45Thank you. I guess I'm just nervous.
08:48Don't worry. I'll be by your side the whole night. I 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.
08:59When you guys first started dating, I couldn't believe my brother's luck.
09:03I mean, you're ridiculously smart.
09:06You starred in all the school plays, got every solo and chorus.
09:09You still had time for math leads.
09:13I can't believe you know all that.
09:15I always thought you just ignored me.
09:17You're my little brother's girlfriend. I had to keep my distance, but...
09:21I still paid attention.
09:23You know, when you drop the whole too-cool-for-school act, you're actually a pretty decent guy, Damon Corle.
09:29Hey, careful. I have a reputation to uphold.
09:32No, I'm serious. I think you might actually make a great boyfriend.
09:37I mean, when you finally decide to try with someone, of course.
09:43Claire?
09:46We're here.
09:54Hi.
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 once.
10:23Hi.
10:51I'm gonna get us drinks.
10:52I'll be right back.
11:01Okay, wow, wow, wow. It looks like things are heating up.
11:03I know, right? It's almost like Operation Jealousy might actually work.
11:07Yeah, no, I was talking about you two.
11:09What?
11:10You and the town hottie.
11:12No, I mean, we're just... I don't know.
11:14Pretending or actually having fun for once?
11:19You know, you two kind of look cute together.
11:21Plus, I haven't seen you smile this much in a long time.
11:25Oh my god, there he is.
11:28Oh my god, there he is.
11:29See, he can't be over me. Look at his face.
11:33Oh my gosh, is that Chelsea?
11:37So much for girl code, and I thought she was your friend.
11:41He said he'd only give his jacket to one special girl.
11:55It's time to amp this party up.
11:57Did someone say never have I ever?
12:01Let's play.
12:04I don't think that's a good idea.
12:06Come on, it'll be fun.
12:10Okay.
12:19Zoe, why don't you go first?
12:22Okay.
12:24Never have I ever fantasized about a teacher.
12:30Cute.
12:31Now let's see.
12:33Never have I ever been pathetic enough to crash Max's birthday party.
12:41Never have I ever been some loser's side chick.
12:44Never have I ever been desperate enough to swoop in on someone's ex.
12:47Never have I ever cheated on someone completely out of my league.
12:51Never have I ever slept with basically every girl in this room.
12:59Oh, I'm so sorry.
13:01I'm so sorry.
13:03I'm so sorry.
13:05I'm so sorry.
13:06I'm so sorry.
13:07I'm so sorry.
13:09Face it, Claire.
13:12You'll never be more than just another number to him.
13:17Claire.
13:18Claire!
13:23Seriously, Claire?
13:24You're gonna show up to my party just to start drama?
13:26No, I didn't do anything. It was Chelsea.
13:28Don't blame Chelsea.
13:30You're just jealous.
13:34You know what?
13:35You two deserve each other.
13:39Hey, dude.
13:40Are you okay?
13:41Because that game was brutal.
13:43And where did Damon run off to?
13:46I don't know.
13:47He said he was going to be by my side the entire night,
13:49and I thought we were...
13:52It doesn't even matter anymore.
13:54Is Claire Sanders actually breaking protocol?
13:58No matter how hard I plan,
13:59or how carefully I try to put my life into this perfect little box,
14:03it all comes crashing down around me.
14:05Right now, the one guy I might actually have real feelings for
14:08is off God knows where,
14:09probably setting up a new date with the girl in that stupid app.
14:14So, yeah, I'm done planning.
14:17Plans can suck it.
14:31Hey.
14:32Sorry I ran out like that.
14:33Yeah.
14:34I left my phone in the car and I had to grab it to get on the app.
14:36Of course.
14:37What?
14:38Wait, wait, wait.
14:39Where are you going?
14:40Home.
14:41And don't worry, I'll still write a good review for you.
14:43I wouldn't want you to miss out on any more epic dates.
14:46Hey, talk to me.
14:48You just left me in there.
14:50I know.
14:51I'm sorry.
14:52I wasn't thinking.
14:53I don't care anymore, Damon.
14:54Look, you were right.
14:55Jake's an ass.
14:57So, the plan, this, it's over.
15:03What if I don't want it to be over?
15:05What if I don't want it to be over?
15:07You could have your pick of any girl out there,
15:09so why don't you just get on the app and find someone else?
15:11Yeah, I got on the app because I wanted to delete it.
15:15What?
15:16I deactivated my account.
15:18Why would you do that?
15:19Look, I know I'm just another number.
15:21You're not just another number, okay?
15:24You never were.
15:27I don't want a fake date with you anymore.
15:29Alright?
15:31I want
15:33a real one.
15:37I thought you said that real relationships never work.
15:41Well, maybe I realized that
15:44you're the rest worth taking.
16:04Come on.
16:05Slapchat 239.
16:08Pick me up.
16:14Are you sure I'm doing this right?
16:15Yeah, just make sure these two dots match.
16:18They'll make that side a little bit bigger.
16:21Okay.
16:22I am trusting the process.
16:24I'm just glad we get to go sag together.
16:26You never got a date, right?
16:28No date.
16:29But Damon's right.
16:30I bought him a ticket in case he changes his mind,
16:32but he won't budge.
16:34Well, that's his loss
16:35because you are about to be the best homecoming queen
16:38that we have ever seen.
16:41No way.
16:42I don't even know how I got nominated.
16:44And of course, Jake is on the ballot
16:46because he's the only reason why our soccer team wins.
16:48I feel like the only reason I'm on there
16:50is because people want to see what Chelsea will do if I win.
16:52Knowing her, she'll probably dump a bucket of pig's blood on my head.
16:55At least she's vegan.
16:57Maybe Jake, like, campaigned for you guys to reignite something
17:01because I heard rumblings that him and Chelsea
17:03aren't doing too hot right now.
17:05Ooh.
17:06Trouble in cheater's paradise.
17:08Shocker.
17:09Where did you even hear that anyway?
17:12I don't even remember.
17:14You know, gossip travels.
17:16That looks pretty good.
17:18But it could also be your newfound power.
17:20I don't know.
17:21I don't know.
17:22I don't know.
17:23I don't know.
17:24I don't know.
17:25I don't know.
17:26It could also be your newfound popularity from dating Damon.
17:29It hasn't exactly gone unnoticed
17:31that you get picked up on a motorcycle every single day.
17:34Yes, Damon.
17:36My knight in shining armor
17:38who can't even be bothered to take his girlfriend
17:41to her school dance.
17:43I mean, at least he's hot.
17:46So hot.
17:49It's so weird that Joey didn't ask you to be his date.
17:52Um, not that weird.
17:53We haven't talked in a while.
17:55I thought you were starting to dig him.
17:56As soon as I figured out that our names couldn't have
17:58one of those cool celebrity abbreviations,
18:00it was over before it began.
18:02Jay-Zoey.
18:04Zoey.
18:05Absolutely not.
18:08Well, more Zoey for me.
18:10Nothing's gonna keep us apart.
18:13Oh, it's Damon.
18:15Oh, it's Damon.
18:17Or should I say Claremon.
18:19Can I call you back to finish this?
18:21Yeah, you can, Claremon.
18:23But you better, because we need to finish this look.
18:25Okay, bye.
18:27Hey, beautif...
18:29What's up with your eyes?
18:31It's not finished yet.
18:33You look like Amy Winehouse on a Tuesday morning.
18:36Zoey is giving me a tutorial for the dance tonight.
18:38Ah, yes.
18:40I almost forgot who I was speaking with.
18:43My sincerest apologies.
18:45Your Royalness.
18:46I know how you can make it up to me.
18:48Nope.
18:49Come on, you're seriously gonna let me do this alone?
18:52You're not gonna be alone.
18:53I thought you were rolling with Zo.
18:55Plus, if you listen very carefully,
18:57I bet you can hear Jay...
18:59Yep, there's Jay, bouncing off the walls.
19:02Dude is pumped.
19:03Yeah, because dances are super fun,
19:06and even more fun if you have a date like he does.
19:08Yeah, for now.
19:09What do you mean?
19:11Chelsea's been soft-ghosting him.
19:13I don't think she's that excited about the dance.
19:15Why could that be?
19:17Because yours truly got nominated and she didn't?
19:21Oh yeah, I'm sure that's it.
19:23I bet that is it.
19:25She's gonna be so pissed if I win queen for the night.
19:29She's gonna be so pissed if I win queen for the night.
19:34And then, you know, for the rest of the school year,
19:36because I would have to play in prom,
19:38and then the homecoming queen normally becomes the prom queen.
19:41I seriously doubt she's thinking about this a quarter as much as you are.
19:45How could she not be?
19:48Because nobody cares about this king and queen stuff as much as you and Jake.
19:52It's lame.
19:53Easy for you to say.
19:54You got nominated all four years and didn't even show up.
19:57I get that this seems like a big deal to you now,
19:59but I promise when you get out of high school,
20:01you'll realize none of this stuff matters.
20:05Wow, and you think Chelsea has already reached this higher consciousness?
20:11No, I'm not talking about her.
20:12You know, come to think of it, if you both are so mature,
20:15maybe you should skip the dance together and get a cheese board
20:17and, you know, talk about all the super important adult stuff that actually matters.
20:24Oh, look.
20:25Someone my age is calling.
20:27I didn't mean... Claire.
20:29Bye.
20:36I need to fix this.
20:39Hey, Jake.
20:40Claire.
20:41Hey, um, thanks for picking up.
20:45Whoa, did Zoe do this to you?
20:48It's a work in progress.
20:49What's up?
20:50Cool.
20:51Um, I just wanted to call you and touch base
20:57and just, you know, make sure that things don't get awkward tonight.
21:02You mean if we win?
21:04Oh, we're gonna win.
21:07Is Chelsea gonna be upset if, when, we win?
21:12If, um, if she looks up from her phone long enough to notice, maybe.
21:16Aw, texting someone else?
21:18It'd be a shame if she were in, like, a secret relationship.
21:21That would suck.
21:22Look, Claire, I know that I can never apologize enough for what I did,
21:27but I really am sorry.
21:31I didn't mean to hurt you, and if I could take it back, I would.
21:37It's fine.
21:38It's fine.
21:39It's fine.
21:40Just, at least she'll be there.
21:43Damon won't even come.
21:45Yeah, I never really understood his thing with dances.
21:49I mean, like, we always had a great time.
21:51I know.
21:52It's a chance to get, like, dressed up and have fun and make grand romantic gestures.
21:57Jinx!
22:00Don't tell anyone that I just said that.
22:04Whoa, is that the dress that you've been saving since freshman year?
22:08Yeah.
22:10I can't believe I'll finally be able to wear it.
22:14And I can't believe this will be our first high school dance where we aren't going together.
22:20Yeah, me neither.
22:24I hope we win so we at least get one dance together.
22:30Well, how about either way, we make it happen.
22:33One dance before the night's over.
22:35Deal.
22:37As long as you promise not to step on my dress like you did junior year.
22:40That was sophomore year.
22:42It was both.
22:45Fine.
22:47As long as you promise not to bust out your grandma moves.
22:50What?
22:51You mean this one?
22:53Oh, God.
22:54My eyes!
22:55Stop it!
22:56My eyes!
23:01What, like you can do better?
23:03Oh, come on.
23:04Anyone can do better than whatever that was.
23:06Let's see, by all means.
23:24Oh, uh, sorry.
23:26Chelsea's calling me.
23:27I should get it.
23:29I'll see you later?
23:31Yeah, yeah.
23:32See ya.
23:35Beep, beep, beep.
23:49Hello?
23:51Hello?
23:53Just trying to show you what you're missing.
23:56Wow.
23:57You look incredible.
23:59Thanks.
24:00Are you, are you going somewhere?
24:03Yeah, there's a cheese board with my name on it I need to get to.
24:06Look, I'm sorry about before.
24:09I 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.
24:15Yeah, I'm sorry too.
24:17I should have known how important it was to you.
24:19It's okay.
24:21How do you, how do you do this?
24:23You're getting pretty dressed up to eat a cheese board with your brother's girlfriend.
24:28If you think I'm going to let my brother have all the fun, you're crazy.
24:33Is this going to match your dress?
24:35You're coming?
24:37And you got me a corsage?
24:39Is that against the rule to bring your own crowns?
24:41I just want to make sure people know who the true king and queen are.
24:44My crowns are meant to protect you.
24:46For what?
24:47Nothing, nothing.
24:49I'm just talking to myself.
24:51Okay, well how about a little less chit chat and a little more boogie?
24:54Come on, Claire, we've got a homecoming to get to.
24:56And I, for one, am wearing my dancing shoes.
25:00Okay.
25:03Okay.
25:15This part always gets me.
25:20Yes!
25:22Yes, yes, it is.
25:24I'm so sad.
25:25Are you watching hockey right now?
25:27What? No.
25:29No, I mean, I'm not not watching hockey.
25:33Come on, babe, cut me some slack.
25:35It's my birthday tomorrow, and these are two of my favorite teams.
25:37This is a classic, Damon.
25:39Anybody who's anybody has seen this.
25:41Classics just code for old.
25:43I don't know why I bother trying to culture you.
25:46Anyway, what's the plans for tomorrow, birthday boy?
25:51Well, since I've been away for two weeks,
25:53I was thinking I could kiss your face for the first half of the day,
25:56and then, you know, we've got the party later.
25:59Crap, crap, crap.
26:03Um, Nico Guitar Flames is calling. Who's that?
26:08I completely forgot I have a lesson now.
26:13Is this why you've gotten so into guitar lately?
26:18Hey, my favorite student.
26:20And my favorite student's friend?
26:24We were just watching The Long Way, and we lost track of time.
26:28Oh, yes. I see you took my recommendation.
26:31Such a classic.
26:34Boyfriend.
26:36What?
26:37I'm not her friend. I'm her boyfriend.
26:39Oh, lucky guy.
26:41Who was just leaving.
26:43Bye, Damon.
26:44I mean, I can stay.
26:46I'd love to see what you two have been working so hard on lately.
26:49No! I mean...
26:51No! No.
26:53She's right. Music is so personal.
26:55So intimate. Something to be shared between two.
26:58Or three.
26:59Oh, no. Almost never three.
27:05Young love. Such a beautiful thing.
27:07Love? Who said?
27:09I don't... We...
27:11I... We don't... Um...
27:15Have you ever been in love?
27:17Of course.
27:19Yeah, I've been in love a bunch of times.
27:22I mean, not a bunch of times.
27:25The normal amount of times.
27:27There's just a lot of pressure on when to say it.
27:30You know? There's a lot of stress.
27:32And then you don't know who should say it first.
27:34Or when you should say it.
27:36Or if they'll ever say it back.
27:40Maybe I can help you find a way to say it.
27:47Should we begin?
27:49Should we begin?
27:51Yeah!
27:58Damon?
28:00Hey, Zoe! What's up? How are you doing?
28:02I'm good.
28:06That's awesome! I'm... I'm also good.
28:09You know, I've been away at training camp for a couple weeks.
28:11Coming home tomorrow.
28:13So, here's a funny little question for you.
28:18Claire's guitar teacher.
28:22Nico... Yeah.
28:25He's not even that good looking. Like, at all.
28:27Oh, no. He's a solid 9.5.
28:29And then him playing guitar takes him to about a 12.
28:32I just think it's weird.
28:34You know, we...
28:36She's doubled her lessons while I've been away.
28:38And we're watching movies they both like.
28:40Wouldn't you feel a little bit weird about your girlfriend
28:42hanging out with some guitar player multiple times a week?
28:45I thought you said he wasn't good looking.
28:47Zoe.
28:49Okay.
28:51I wouldn't feel great about it.
28:53But I'd be confident in my relationship.
28:56I would know that she really wants to be with me.
28:58And not him.
29:00I just don't get it.
29:02I mean, she's being so secretive about it.
29:04I haven't even heard her play anything.
29:07Yeah, Damon. I don't know.
29:09Don't you have any guy friends to call about this?
29:11Who am I going to talk to, Zoe? Guys don't talk about stuff.
29:14If only you knew somebody that dated Claire
29:16and knew her really, really well.
29:18Jake?
29:20Yeah. Is that weird?
29:22I feel better than you calling me about this.
29:24Yeah, okay. You're right.
29:26You're good friends, though.
29:28Claire's lucky to have you on her side.
29:30Don't stress. I'm sure there's absolutely nothing to worry about.
29:33Plus, isn't it your birthday tomorrow?
29:35Focus on that.
29:37Yeah. Thanks, Zoe. I'll see you tomorrow.
29:39Beep. Beep. Beep.
29:45Love.
29:47Love.
29:49Hey, birthday boy.
29:51Not until tomorrow. Where's Jake?
29:53He's in the shower. He just got back from practice and he's disgusting.
29:56I was totally going to wish you a happy birthday,
29:59but I didn't have your number.
30:01Yeah, let's keep it that way.
30:03So what's on the agenda?
30:05What time am I picking you up tonight?
30:07Kidding. Obviously.
30:09Does perfect Claire have a perfect little date planned?
30:11Other than running off with her guitar teacher?
30:14Probably not.
30:15Oh, that's right. She started studying with Nico.
30:17Wait, you know Nico?
30:19Yeah, I set them up.
30:21He's amazing. So, so talented.
30:24So, so talented.
30:26What do you mean you set them up?
30:28Well, she was saying a few weeks ago at the house that she's been wanting to learn, so...
30:32I don't know. I suggested Nico.
30:34Oh, great. So this is your fault. Thanks a lot. Where was I?
30:37Sitting right next to her, not listening per usual.
30:42That's not... That's not true. I listen.
30:45Whatever.
30:47Anyway, out of the kindness of my generous heart, I suggested Nico.
30:51Every girl should have a few lessons with him.
30:53He teaches you so much.
30:56I wouldn't expect your smash talkie brain to understand.
30:59What exactly wouldn't I understand?
31:01What exactly wouldn't I understand?
31:04Music, art, culture, languages.
31:07You're not, like, afraid she's gonna ditch you for a guy she can actually have a conversation with, are you?
31:13But we have conversations, Chelsea.
31:16Is Jake out of the shower yet?
31:18Oh yeah, about what, huh? Hockey? And then hockey?
31:21Oh, of course, right. There's always hockey.
31:24Seriously, though, Damon, hockey's like your one true love, and it's kind of boring.
31:29I love other things.
31:31Like what?
31:32Like Claire, and I don't want her running off with some guitar-playing, art-culture-looking snob, alright?
31:42Look, I'm not saying I'm an expert on all things Claire,
31:46but dating brothers has forced us to hang out with each other more than either of us would have liked,
31:51and she's actually kind of... interesting.
31:56So, maybe you should at least pretend to care about some of the things she likes.
32:00Yeah. It's actually not terrible advice.
32:04Consider it my birthday gift to you.
32:07Gee, thanks a lot.
32:10So, what are you still doing here?
32:12Go before she hires Sneako to be your boyfriend at your party tomorrow.
32:16Bye.
32:17So, what are you still doing here?
32:19Go before she hires Sneako to be your boyfriend at your party tomorrow.
32:24Bye.
32:25Yeah, yeah, okay, whatever. Thanks, bye.
32:40Hey! I was just gonna call you.
32:43You're all dressed up.
32:45Damon, I've been wanting to tell you how I feel, and this was going to be your birthday surprise,
32:53but I just... I didn't think it could wait.
33:01Okay.
33:10You're the cream in my coffee, you're the apple in my eye.
33:15You make me wanna laugh and I think I'm gonna cry.
33:19But you're the one, so there's one thing I must do.
33:27I have to say, I...
33:31I love you.
33:34I love you too.
33:37Moments, you're...
33:39I'm sorry, but I needed you to know it.
33:41I love you so much, Claire.
33:43And I'm sorry that I got weird earlier, but I talked to Zoe and...
33:46You talked to Zoe?
33:47Yeah, and she told me not to worry.
33:50And she told me that she always has your back, which I love.
33:54Love.
33:55And I talked to Chelsea.
33:57Ew, why didn't you check with Chelsea?
33:58I don't know, she sucks.
34:00But she did say one thing that wasn't terrible.
34:03I wanna make more of an effort to share your interests, Claire.
34:06I wanna watch whatever you wanna watch and talk about musicals.
34:10Even the old ones, I don't care.
34:12Just no subtitles, deal?
34:14Deal.
34:16Okay.
34:18Babe?
34:19Yeah?
34:20Do you think I could finish my song?
34:22I worked really hard on it.
34:24Yes, please.
34:25Yes, please.
34:56Did you change your pillowcases?
34:59No.
35:00Claire, do not leave them there.
35:02That looks like trash.
35:04Do you have time to do a load of laundry?
35:06Not really, but yeah.
35:09Did you get the champagne?
35:10Yes.
35:11Chocolates?
35:12Rose petals?
35:13Massage oil?
35:14Scented candles?
35:15All of that?
35:17Claire, I'm playing with you.
35:19I literally don't understand why you're freaking out right now.
35:21One, Damon's been in your room, and two, you're not a virgin.
35:24I'm a virgin to sleeping with brothers.
35:27True.
35:28That's awkward.
35:30Is there a term for that?
35:31Sleeping with brothers.
35:37Please, do not ever Google that.
35:40Ever.
35:41You're not helping, so look, this is a big night.
35:45After tonight, that's it.
35:47What do you mean, this is it?
35:48Like, me and Damon.
35:50Me and Damon.
35:51There's no going back.
35:52Going back to what?
35:54To Jake?
35:55Have you guys been talking or something?
35:57No.
35:58Not talking.
35:59Just...
36:00I don't know.
36:01We dated for so long.
36:02It feels like a betrayal, you know?
36:06And, plus, I know Chelsea broke up with him, so I know he's not in a good place.
36:12About time.
36:13She dragged that on long enough.
36:14What's that supposed to mean?
36:16Nothing, Claire.
36:17I don't think you sleeping with your boyfriend is a betrayal.
36:20You're good.
36:21You think they'll talk about it?
36:23Oh my god, what if they compare notes?
36:25Oh god, that's so awkward.
36:27I think the only one that gets to do the comparing is you.
36:30Plus, Damon is gonna be ten times better than Jake.
36:33Think about all that experience.
36:35Why would you say that?
36:37So, I didn't even think of it like that.
36:40God, he's been with so many girls.
36:42What if he thinks I don't know what I'm doing?
36:46God, thanks a lot.
36:47It's just what I needed.
36:48That's literally not what I meant at all.
36:53Oh, it's Damon.
36:54Wish me luck.
36:56Bye.
37:01Hey.
37:05You are definitely running late, but since you are shirtless and you probably smell good, I'll let it slide.
37:12You are definitely running late, but since you are shirtless and you probably smell good, I'll let it slide.
37:20Hey, uh, so I got some news.
37:22Bad news?
37:23No, just, uh, do you remember Natasha?
37:28Natasha, your super hot ex who ran away to, like, live off the land in Japan?
37:33Ride her bicycle across Thailand, but yeah, great.
37:36So you remember.
37:37She's back.
37:38Oh, so it's horrible news.
37:40I know we're supposed to hang tonight.
37:41Do you mind if I rain check?
37:42Do I mind if you bail to run off with a literal model who also happens to be your ex-girlfriend?
37:49Hmm, let me think about that.
37:52I know it's a little bit weird, but I promise, she just wants to stop by, show me some pictures, and she's leaving again in like a week.
37:58Wait, wait, she's coming over to your place?
38:00Why can't you just insta-stalk her like any normal ex-boyfriend?
38:04Actually, uh, do not.
38:07She is the literal girl version of you.
38:09That's exactly why we didn't work.
38:11Trust me, it's strictly a friend thing.
38:13I don't know.
38:14I know who you guys were when you were together.
38:16You couldn't keep your hands off each other.
38:18Yeah, and now I can't keep my hands off you.
38:20I'm being serious.
38:22We both have exes, Claire.
38:23Come on.
38:24Don't forget I had to watch you date my brother for two years.
38:27Don't forget I had to watch you date my brother for two years.
38:29Don't forget I had to watch you date my brother for two years.
38:31Don't forget I had to watch you date my brother for two years.
38:34Okay, I don't want to fight.
38:36I just, I really wanted to spend time with you tonight.
38:39And I was hoping this could be our special.
38:42She's here, I gotta go.
38:44Love you.
38:45I know I said I wanted updates, but definitely did not mean in real time.
39:01Ha ha, funny.
39:03You know what else is funny?
39:05Damon running off with his ex girlfriend.
39:07Wow, which one?
39:09Please don't say Natasha.
39:11Didn't she move to the Philippines?
39:16Thailand. And just for the year, sadly.
39:20Damon finally moving on must have triggered her spidey sense, and now she's returned to ruin my perfect night.
39:26Claire, she's an influencer, not a comic book villain.
39:30Same difference.
39:31Okay, Natasha's back, but that doesn't have to mean anything. Was Damon acting excited or weird?
39:37He showered.
39:38Okay. He's pretty. He does that.
39:42Anything else?
39:44I trust Damon. I don't trust her.
39:49Shit! She just posted a story. I can't look at it. She'll know.
39:53She has 80,000 followers. She's not gonna see your name.
39:56I can't look, Zoe. You look.
40:01What is it? Are they kissing? Are they back together?
40:05Okay, maybe you should look at it so you can stop freaking out.
40:15Why would you have me look at that?
40:21This is it. They're gonna get married, have two and a half kids, and have a yurt in Iceland.
40:26You know, I did hear that Reykjavik is really beautiful in springtime, actually.
40:31Again, with the not helping. But this was supposed to be our biggest night of our lives. I'm allowed to be disappointed.
40:38But you're being insane. Damon loves you. He's not getting back together with Natasha.
40:43Did you see the photo? He is supposed to be drinking and snuggling with me, not her.
40:49They're not snuggling. And to be fair, you didn't tell him about this perfect night, so you can't be mad at him for not being a mind reader.
40:56You didn't tell him about this perfect night, so you can't be mad at him for not being a mind reader.
41:02What's going on? Why are you taking my side on this?
41:05Nothing's wrong with me. I'm just saying that, like, whatever. I gotta go. Don't trip. I'm sure it'll be fine.
41:26Hi.
41:27You calling from Reykjavik?
41:29What?
41:30Nothing. Where are you? I thought you were hanging out with Natasha.
41:35Uh, yeah, I was. But, you know, there's only so many pictures of Thailand a person can take.
41:39What happened?
41:40Nothing. What? Nothing.
41:42Nothing nothing? Or something nothing?
41:45You were right. That was a bad idea. It was stupid for me to think we could just hang as friends.
41:51She hasn't changed at all. I mean, she invited me to go to Bali with her, and she tried to kiss me.
41:56Wait. You kissed?
41:59No. No, she tried. Look, I'm really sorry, Claire. I shouldn't have put myself in that position.
42:04Did you want to kiss her?
42:06No way. Are you kidding? You're the only person I want to kiss. Like, ever.
42:11Why don't you say that to my face?
42:14Why don't you let me up? I'm outside.
42:17You're here? Wait, are you sure? I only have 700 followers.
42:22Please. You know she bought all those followers, right?
42:24What?
42:26100%. But, do I see some black silk under there? I'm much more interested in that. Come on. Let me up.
42:33Keep going. Now, target zone for the straight punches. Right for the front of the face. Palms are down. Elbows are tight. There we go.
42:47Damon's texted me, I love you, three times since this morning. Who knew he'd get so mushy after sex?
42:54That's awesome.
42:56And he took me out for breakfast. Did I say that already?
43:00Like, four times.
43:02Well, now I guess I said it five.
43:04Anyway, did you hear that Natasha pays for her followers? How embarrassing and sad is that?
43:11Damon was talking about how-
43:13Uppercuts. Target zone. Where is it? Underneath the chin. Elbows tight to the body. Now.
43:18Wow, that's actually the first question you've asked me in months.
43:23Whoa, are you mad at me?
43:25Not mad, I'm just tired.
43:28Well, we can pause it. I mean-
43:30No, Claire. I'm tired of this one-sided friendship dance that we've been doing since you started dating Damon.
43:35I don't know what you're talking about.
43:37You realize that we were supposed to go to homecoming together, right? And then Damon came, and the only time you call me is to ask or talk about Damon, and now Damon's calling me to talk about you, and I am tired of it.
43:49We're supposed to be best friends, right?
43:51I am your best friend.
43:52No, I'm your best friend, and you've been asleep at the wheel.
43:55I am your best friend.
43:57No, I'm your best friend, and you've been asleep at the wheel.
44:00Well, I'm sorry I'm talking a little too much about my boyfriend, but I don't think it's fair to say that I've been a bad friend. I mean-
44:07Well, I think a good friend would notice that their best friend has been going through something huge the past few months.
44:13Oh my god, what? Zoe, are you okay?
44:16Yeah, I'm actually great. I've been seeing someone, and it's getting pretty serious, but it's been exhausting not being able to just talk to you about it.
44:28You can talk to me about anything. This is so exciting! Who is it?
44:32It's not important.
44:33What do you mean it's not important? I want to know who stole my bestie's heart! Come on!
44:39She didn't steal anything. It just kind of happened. I didn't think we'd get along so well, but she's just perfect.
44:49Okay, so we've established it's a girl. I mean, that shrinks the pool a little, but you still haven't given me a good enough hint.
44:57Okay, maybe she's not perfect, and it's just like the honeymoon phase talking. I don't know. I don't know what we are.
45:05It's like we're dating, but we haven't put a label on it yet. I guess it's just like a little bit more complicated for Chelsea.
45:14What does Chelsea have to do with this?
45:17Because I'm the first girl she's ever been with.
45:20I guess it's just like a little bit more complicated for Chelsea.
45:24What does Chelsea have to do with this?
45:27Because I'm the first girl she's ever been with.
45:30Hold on. You're dating Chelsea? Like, like ruined my life, Chelsea! Are you kidding me? We hate Chelsea!
45:40You know she broke up with Jake and he's like devastated, right?
45:43Okay, but we don't care about Jake. We care about me, right?
45:47So you're the other woman now.
45:49That's not fair. Especially because she wasn't even that into him.
45:53I'm sorry, what? She weaseled into our two-year relationship because she wasn't that into him?
45:59Claire, why are you so wrapped up in that?
46:01Aren't you in heaven with Damon? Because I haven't heard you shut up about him in the last three months.
46:06Well, I'm sorry I didn't shut up long enough to hear of your disastrous plan to date the she-devil herself.
46:12I would have talked you out of it.
46:14You don't even know her, Claire.
46:16Seems like I don't know either of you.
46:18And whose fault is that?
46:20Listen, I can tell you exactly what Damon had for breakfast.
46:24But as soon as I share an important detail of my love life for once,
46:27you get up on your high horse and you rain judgment on everyone below you.
46:32I'm over it.
46:43Well, that went well.
46:45Uh-oh. How bad?
46:47If a dumpster fire filled with fuzzy puppies was a 10, then that was a 14.7.
46:54Gross.
46:55I'm sorry, babe. I know it couldn't have been easy.
46:58But at least Claire stopped talking long enough for you to tell her.
47:01That feels like a small win.
47:03I guess.
47:04I don't know, it's hard because I don't even know what I'm supposed to be telling her.
47:08Like, I didn't say that you were my girlfriend because you and Jake just broke up and I totally respect that.
47:14I think after last night, it's pretty safe to say you're my girlfriend, Zoe.
47:20Cool.
47:22Cool.
47:24Chelsea, I really like you and I haven't been this happy with someone in a long time.
47:30I just wish that Claire could get her head out of her butt for five seconds to be excited for me.
47:37Whatever.
47:39I don't need her.
47:40I have you.
47:41As much as I'd love to have Claire out of my life forever, you guys have way too much history to throw it away.
47:47But that dumpster fire I was talking about? Yeah, it's active.
47:50Babe, I'm serious. You guys have been friends forever and I'm sure you've taken your turns over the years being the needy one.
47:57Babe, I'm serious. You guys have been friends forever and I'm sure you've taken your turns over the years being the needy one.
48:04Yeah, well, her 90 days have expired. They're done. I'm over it.
48:09I've never known you to be the type to not say what's on your mind, but for some reason with Claire you just bottle it up and it's like you forgot how to stand up for yourself.
48:19Well, she dominates every single conversation with, me and Damon did this and me and Damon did that.
48:25So you're telling me you haven't had a single chance to tell her about us? Or about how you were feeling?
48:30Or you may be holding back because you knew how she'd respond.
48:34Maybe. Claire's the one who needs to apologize, but she's not the only one in the wrong.
48:43Why do you have to be so perfect?
48:46Bad habit.
48:49Alright, let me figure this out.
48:52Okay, call me back. Bye.
48:57Hey, what's going on?
48:58Chelsea? Did I open a cursed box? Was I a serial killer in a past life? What horrible karma am I due that Chelsea exists to date everyone I love?
49:07She hasn't dated me.
49:08I will literally murder.
49:10She hasn't dated me.
49:11I will literally murder.
49:13Sounds like you'll be a serial killer in this life too.
49:16Why aren't you more bothered by this? Don't you feel bad for Jake?
49:19No, do you?
49:20No? Look, she has just weaseled her way through our entire friend group and I'm sick of it.
49:24I thought you guys were becoming buds. Didn't she set you up with Miko?
49:27Oh yeah, another way how she's ruined our lives. Why can't she just stay in her lane?
49:35What?
49:37Nothing, I just... I hope you weren't like this with Zoe.
49:41I think it's cool. Zoe's never really had a relationship stick, has she?
49:44I hope you weren't like this with Zoe. I think it's cool. Zoe's never really had a relationship stick, has she?
49:50So maybe the fact that she's bringing this up to you could be something serious.
49:55Why'd she wait so long to tell me then?
49:57Maybe because she knew you were going to act like you did?
50:00Okay, so you think I'm the jerk?
50:03No, no. I just... I think it's... maybe it's your turn to be the best friend.
50:08Yeah, the best friend to someone who's just screamed at me?
50:10Zoe's literally never screamed at anyone. She's the chillest person I know.
50:15I'm sorry to say it, babe. You know I'm on your side, but if she's this upset...
50:20I was wrong.
50:22You're still very cute, though. And I bet you're even cuter when you apologize.
50:27Not that I've ever seen it, but I'm sure we'll get there one day.
50:31Don't hold your breath.
50:33Okay. I am going to give her the best, best friend apology she's ever had.
50:40You got this. I'm proud of you.
50:43And thanks for loving me, even though I'm a teeny tiny bit difficult.
50:49Of course. You got this.
50:56Pick up. Please pick up.
50:58Please pick up.
51:01Never have I ever...
51:03Been the biggest jerk in the history of the world?
51:06I was gonna say been so selfish to someone who's always been there for me, but yours works too.
51:12I messed up.
51:14You messed up big time.
51:16I know. I freaked. I'm just... I'm so tired of hearing Chelsea's name.
51:22But that doesn't matter. Because this isn't about me.
51:28Well, you're gonna be hearing it a lot more.
51:31Seriously, Claire. I've never felt this way about anybody before.
51:36I think she might be... my person.
51:40If you're happy, I'm happy. Truly.
51:45Look, I love you, so you're my best friend.
51:49And I'm yours, and you are not allowed to replace me.
51:53You're my best friend.
51:55And I'm yours, and you are not allowed to replace me.
51:58You know there's an app for that.
52:00Best Friend for Hire?
52:02Yeah, but unfortunately they don't seem to have anybody as good as you. I checked.
52:11I'm sorry too. I should've told you way sooner.
52:15It's just I was afraid that you were gonna freak out, which you did.
52:19And I know Chelsea's probably the worst person for this to happen with, but...
52:23If you guys just gave each other a chance, I'm sure you would get along.
52:28Wait, Chelsea doesn't like me?
52:34But if you like her, I guess she can't be all that bad.
52:41Now, spill the deets. You have dirt to catch me up on.
52:45Well, let's just say last night wasn't just... your special night?
52:58You
