00:00:00If this were a rom-com, how would it go?
00:00:05Well, since you're my boss, you'd obviously have to be a workaholic.
00:00:18And I'm an impressionable underpaid assistant who just moved to the city.
00:00:25You force me to be your girlfriend to trick your parents.
00:00:32My father doesn't think that I'm serious enough to keep the division.
00:00:36And I hate every second of it.
00:00:39Are you enjoying the view?
00:00:42But then, helping you trick your parents lets me see you on a deeper level.
00:00:48And then what happens?
00:01:25Don't get distracted now, mister.
00:01:27Stop talking.
00:01:31You had better be yawning from the back of an Uber, mister.
00:01:34What?
00:01:35Oh, fuck.
00:01:36Kate's engaged to a party.
00:01:37You were supposed to remind me.
00:01:39I left 14 sticky notes on your desk.
00:01:42God damn it, you cannot be late to this.
00:01:44Who's that big boy?
00:01:46Please tell me this woman doesn't think she's got a shot with you.
00:01:49Um, she's from Portugal.
00:01:51She knows this is just a fling.
00:01:52You're cheating on me with someone from Portugal?
00:01:54On second thought, Grace, you're going to have to handle this for me.
00:01:58I'm calling the car.
00:02:00Shower off your bad decisions and get in.
00:02:03Okay.
00:02:08This was fun, Nadia.
00:02:10But it's time for you to go.
00:02:12You can see yourself out, can't you?
00:02:22Hello?
00:02:28Whoa!
00:02:34You know, you really should start watching where you're going.
00:02:37Or one of these days you're going to end up smeared across the hood of some Mercedes.
00:02:40So nice to see you too.
00:02:46Oh, how do I look?
00:02:52Perfect.
00:02:53I mean, fine.
00:02:55Good.
00:02:56You look good.
00:02:58I'm just glad you made it.
00:03:01Shall we?
00:03:02Mm-hmm.
00:03:03You know I've only ever met your family on the phone?
00:03:06Yeah, you'll see why.
00:03:23Oh.
00:03:26Do you know how much shit my father's going to give me now that I'm the only single wolf?
00:03:30Brennan!
00:03:32Oh, God.
00:03:34Deal with that, please.
00:03:38Naomi, isn't it?
00:03:40Look, it's nothing personal, but Brennan—
00:03:42No, you.
00:03:44You're the little assistant that's been keeping us apart.
00:03:47Because what?
00:03:48You think you have a shot with him?
00:03:50Whore?
00:03:52No, our relationship is strictly professional.
00:03:54It's pathetic.
00:03:56Give it up, sweetheart.
00:03:57He's not interested.
00:03:59You're just the girl who gives him his coffee.
00:04:15Well, look who it is.
00:04:17Big bro?
00:04:19Kate.
00:04:21Congratulations on all of this.
00:04:24It's great.
00:04:26I really do feel blessed.
00:04:28I'm marrying the love of my life soon.
00:04:31My division is killing it.
00:04:33Have you seen our projections?
00:04:35Yeah.
00:04:37You know, I could give you some pointers.
00:04:41I saw your numbers.
00:04:43Two percent growth is not going to cut it.
00:04:46Not when Dad is in slashing mode.
00:04:50Oh, you haven't heard?
00:04:52At next month's board meeting.
00:04:54If you're not caught up.
00:04:59Oh, but don't worry.
00:05:01I'm sure you'll find something.
00:05:05Maybe Mickey D's is hiring.
00:05:08You do look good in yellow.
00:05:14Now, if you don't mind, I have well-wishers to greet.
00:05:20Excuse me.
00:05:31Office, now.
00:05:33But we just got here.
00:05:34Now.
00:05:40So, the whole division is just gone?
00:05:44No, because you're going to get an action plan on my desk by tomorrow.
00:05:48Tomorrow is Saturday.
00:05:52Mr. Wolf.
00:05:54I'm Howard Bernstein from the Bernstein Corporation.
00:05:58Now, I know we didn't have a meeting set up,
00:06:00but I have a potential business opportunity for you.
00:06:03Mr. Wolf.
00:06:05I really think we should discuss this.
00:06:13Apologize to my assistant,
00:06:15or the next meeting you take will be from a hospital bed.
00:06:18Oh, jeez.
00:06:20Okay, all right.
00:06:22God, okay, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
00:06:27Now, you.
00:06:29Action plan, 6 p.m. tomorrow,
00:06:31and you get the fuck out of here and leave my assistant alone.
00:06:35You, sir, are a brute.
00:06:46Again?
00:06:48What is it?
00:06:49Miss Reynolds, I'm calling you as your mother's next of kin.
00:06:52Unfortunately, this call is to provide you with a time of death.
00:06:55Sorry, excuse me, time of death?
00:06:59Miss Reynolds, your mother is dead.
00:07:03Grace, I need you to get a hold of Miller at the, uh...
00:07:10What is it?
00:07:13My mother's dead.
00:07:18Grace, are you serious?
00:07:21Okay, sorry, you said that we need to talk.
00:07:25I'm sorry.
00:07:27Are you serious?
00:07:29Okay, sorry, you said that we need Miller?
00:07:33You need me to call Jordan Miller?
00:07:35Grace, don't worry about that. You need to go.
00:07:38No, no, I can't. No, I can't. We've got...
00:07:40I'm telling you as your boss.
00:07:42You need to go.
00:07:57No.
00:08:08Why are you going back to work?
00:08:10Didn't Brendan give you, like, a whole month off?
00:08:14Yeah, but he needs me.
00:08:19Look, I know you're desperately in love with this man, but he...
00:08:23I am not.
00:08:28Okay, fine.
00:08:31I love him.
00:08:33Are you happy?
00:08:36I've loved him for five fucking years, and he does not give a shit about me.
00:08:41I give him all of my waking hours.
00:08:44I get rid of his hookups.
00:08:47I even check the security cameras on my phone every day
00:08:51because he doesn't trust the alarm company.
00:08:54If he doesn't trust the alarm company,
00:08:56you don't want him taking advantage of you, then don't let him.
00:08:59You deserve love, not dirty work.
00:09:07Two percent growth in this economy is impressive.
00:09:10Above industry standard.
00:09:12Kate's division saw eight percent last month alone.
00:09:15Well, why don't we ask the IRS about Kate's growth?
00:09:19One of these days, that behavior is going to come back to bite her in the ass.
00:09:22Not just business.
00:09:24Kate's a serious person. She's settling down.
00:09:27And you're still in the tabloids.
00:09:29With floozies.
00:09:31Ever since Dulce...
00:09:32This has nothing to do with my personal life.
00:09:35I am more than capable of this.
00:09:37You want your division? Show me you're serious.
00:09:39Otherwise, I'll be making my recommendation to the board.
00:09:43I've got to go.
00:09:53Grace, what are you doing here?
00:09:56I thought you were still on bereavement.
00:10:01What is this?
00:10:03This is me.
00:10:06Quitting.
00:10:15No. Absolutely not.
00:10:18Excuse me?
00:10:20Look, if you still need more time to grieve...
00:10:23This is not about my mother.
00:10:27Brennan, I need a fresh start.
00:10:30I cannot keep going around in circles with you.
00:10:34These last five years, I have been torturing myself trying to get you to see that...
00:10:42It doesn't matter. I'm done.
00:10:51No. You're not.
00:10:54You're still under contract for another year.
00:10:57What kind of leader would I be if I just let my employees leave just because they wanted to...
00:11:01Have a fresh start?
00:11:04Do you want to do this the hard way, Brennan?
00:11:08Okay. Fine.
00:11:15Hi. I need to speak with one of your attorneys, please.
00:11:19No. Any one of them is fine.
00:11:22Okay.
00:11:24What the fuck? What are you doing?
00:11:27Look.
00:11:29I'll allow you to quit under one condition.
00:11:33You become my girlfriend.
00:11:38Excuse me?
00:11:40Look. My father doesn't think that I'm serious enough to keep the division.
00:11:44He and my mom are coming this weekend to stay with me for Kate's wedding and...
00:11:48I just... I need to prove to him that I'm done fucking around.
00:11:52Are you?
00:11:55Right. I didn't think so.
00:11:58So ask Naomi. Or Miss Portugal. Anyone.
00:12:02There's a line of girls a mile long who'd be happy to help you.
00:12:05But Grace...
00:12:08You're the only one that I trust.
00:12:12Look. If you do this for me...
00:12:15I'll void your contract.
00:12:17And then you can go and do whatever it is that you want.
00:12:20With a glowing recommendation from myself.
00:12:24I can't do this anymore, Brennan.
00:12:26I can't keep doing your dirty work.
00:12:29I deserve better. I deserve to...
00:12:32Grace!
00:12:34I need you.
00:12:38It's just for the weekend. Right?
00:12:41Just for your parents.
00:12:46Fine.
00:12:48I'll stay for the weekend. And then I'm gone.
00:12:58What the hell?
00:13:01What was that?
00:13:03Practice.
00:13:05What was that?
00:13:07Practice.
00:13:22Brennan?
00:13:25Okay. You can do this.
00:13:28You just have to get through this weekend.
00:13:30And then you can forget about Brennan Wolfe for good.
00:13:36Hey, babe.
00:13:45Settling in?
00:13:51Feel free to use any open space.
00:13:53Just don't go to my side or get into any of my stuff.
00:13:57You don't seem to use your closet much.
00:14:02Are you enjoying the view?
00:14:10Wait.
00:14:17Here. Take this.
00:14:20What is this?
00:14:22Well, your wardrobe is passable as my assistant.
00:14:27But my girlfriend would never wear this.
00:14:31First thing in the morning, go and get yourself a new wardrobe.
00:14:34A hundred thousand max.
00:14:36A hundred thousand?
00:14:39No. I can't do that.
00:14:41Just think of it as a bonus.
00:14:47Fine.
00:14:49It's getting late. I think I'm going to turn in.
00:14:53Do you mind?
00:14:57Most long-term couples share a bedroom.
00:15:11Absolutely not.
00:15:13Look, my parents get in tomorrow.
00:15:15We have to make this thing look real, at least.
00:15:18Okay, then tomorrow you're welcome to the floor.
00:15:22Until then, find another bedroom.
00:15:24There's like 50 in this place.
00:15:27Fine. You win.
00:15:31But I'll be downstairs watching a movie if you can't sleep.
00:15:38How about a rom-com?
00:15:42Sure.
00:15:54Okay.
00:16:02I want to do that.
00:16:04And I want you now.
00:16:09Then what are you waiting for?
00:16:25Well, I think that's my cue.
00:16:29Good night, Brennan.
00:16:31I think I'm falling in love with you.
00:16:35And no, you don't have to say anything.
00:16:38I just wanted you to know.
00:16:43Okay.
00:16:52Brennan?
00:17:02What are you doing here?
00:17:12So smooth.
00:17:43Wow.
00:17:46You look...
00:17:48nice.
00:17:51Thanks.
00:18:00They're here. Prepare yourself.
00:18:04Rennie!
00:18:07Mother.
00:18:10Mother.
00:18:12Oh my goodness.
00:18:14This must be Grace.
00:18:17Brennan, she is absolutely darling.
00:18:23No wonder you've been keeping her all to yourself.
00:18:28Still, you might have mentioned her at some point.
00:18:33Oh, that'll be Kate.
00:18:37She's here for dinner.
00:18:39Oh, I didn't realize she'd be joining us.
00:18:43Oh, well I wanted to include everyone.
00:18:46The whole family.
00:18:52Sweetheart.
00:18:54Oh, come here, honey bunny.
00:18:58I still can't believe you finally tamed my brother.
00:19:03How'd you do it?
00:19:07I was in Soho.
00:19:10Don't tell me you met in a bar.
00:19:14No, of course we didn't meet at a bar.
00:19:18Do you want to tell them, baby, or should I?
00:19:23You tell it, sweetheart.
00:19:27I used to work for Cross & Co.
00:19:30I know, I know, your biggest rivals.
00:19:33Brennan and I hated each other,
00:19:36always stealing clients and competing.
00:19:39But I always thought he was cute.
00:19:43One day, we were pitching the same client.
00:19:45We were coming out of the building
00:19:47when I took a step out into the road without looking.
00:19:50I know, I know, it's a terrible habit that I have.
00:19:53A car came barreling down the road at me,
00:19:56and before I knew it, I felt a pair of strong arms pull me back.
00:20:00And when I opened my eyes,
00:20:02I found myself staring up at your son.
00:20:05How could I hate him after that?
00:20:08And as they say, the rest is history.
00:20:17And I've been saving her from traffic ever since.
00:20:22Wow.
00:20:23Oh, my gosh.
00:20:25That sounds like something straight out of a movie.
00:20:29Doesn't it, honey?
00:20:31Almost too good to be true.
00:20:34I tell you to get serious,
00:20:37and then you pick some random girl up off the street,
00:20:40and suddenly you're in love?
00:20:43Samuel.
00:20:44You've always been this way,
00:20:46always taking the easy way out,
00:20:48content to settle in the middle,
00:20:51always sticking along on your name and your money.
00:20:54You have no idea what you're talking about.
00:20:58Brennan cares more about his company than anyone I've ever met.
00:21:02He's dedicated and conscientious and he's...
00:21:08Sam.
00:21:14Dinner and a show.
00:21:16Lucky me.
00:21:18Thanks for the fun night.
00:21:32Brennan, I...
00:21:33I have some contracts to go over.
00:21:35Excuse me.
00:21:49Oh, Mrs. Wolfe.
00:21:51I am so sorry.
00:21:53I don't know what came over me.
00:21:55I was completely out of line, and I want to apologize.
00:21:58Grace, I love my husband,
00:22:01but he's always been too hard on Brennan.
00:22:04Thank you so much for defending him.
00:22:09I can tell you really do care for him.
00:22:14I do.
00:22:16I do.
00:22:28Nightcap?
00:22:33I thought you were mad at me.
00:22:35No, I...
00:22:40I just thank you for standing up for me tonight.
00:22:47I don't think it really helped our cause.
00:22:51I think your dad hates me.
00:22:54But my mom loves you, and so it cancels out.
00:23:00You were really good. I'm sure they'll buy it.
00:23:06How are you so good at this?
00:23:09At what?
00:23:11At pretending to be in love.
00:23:17Well,
00:23:20my mom and I used to watch rom-coms.
00:23:23It was kind of our thing.
00:23:26I remember.
00:23:28She would always tell me,
00:23:30don't kid yourself.
00:23:32Real guys will always let you down,
00:23:34but rom-com guys are forever.
00:23:39Anyway, I guess what I meant was
00:23:43I may not be good at real love,
00:23:46but I'm great at rom-coms.
00:23:51Plus, I mean, some of that is true.
00:23:53You are always saving me from traffic.
00:24:00Grace, you must really miss your mom.
00:24:06I'm so sorry.
00:24:13Yeah.
00:24:16It's hard
00:24:18to lose the one person in the world who
00:24:22makes it all make sense.
00:24:26Yeah.
00:24:28Trust me. I get it.
00:24:32You lost someone?
00:24:35I thought I knew everything about you.
00:24:39Not everything.
00:24:43Do you want to talk about it?
00:24:54I don't know if I can. It's...
00:24:59It's okay. You can tell me.
00:25:13Maybe...
00:25:15Maybe some other time.
00:25:20So, if this were a rom-com,
00:25:25how would it go?
00:25:29It's very funny.
00:25:31No, I'm actually being serious.
00:25:38Okay.
00:25:42Well, since you're my boss,
00:25:47you'd obviously have to be a workaholic.
00:25:51And I'm an impressionable underpaid assistant
00:25:55who just moved to the city.
00:25:57I'm not seeing the fiction there.
00:26:01So, you force me to be your girlfriend
00:26:05to trick your parents.
00:26:07And I hate every second of it.
00:26:10You know, being I'm a virgin
00:26:12who's never had a boyfriend at all.
00:26:14A virgin?
00:26:16In the story, mister.
00:26:20But then,
00:26:23helping you trick your parents
00:26:26lets me see you on a deeper level.
00:26:30And my carefree persona
00:26:33helps you see the world in color
00:26:36for the first time.
00:26:39Well...
00:26:41Then, one night, we're on the sofa
00:26:46planning the next steps in our relationship.
00:26:50Then I lean in,
00:26:53and you lean in, and...
00:26:57And then...
00:27:08And then...
00:27:26So, something like that?
00:27:29Huh?
00:27:31I mean, if we're going to convince my parents
00:27:33we'll have to kiss in front of them,
00:27:35something like that would work, right?
00:27:38Oh, yeah. Yeah.
00:27:40Yeah, that's...
00:27:42That's fine.
00:27:44Good, yeah.
00:27:46Um...
00:27:48Well, um...
00:27:50We should probably turn in.
00:27:52Sure.
00:28:05Okay.
00:28:21You are not going to be able to sleep like that.
00:28:24I'll be fine.
00:28:30Come on, this...
00:28:32This bed is pretty big.
00:28:37Plus, you need to be well-rested to keep up the ruse, right?
00:28:43Just take the other side of the bed.
00:28:47Okay.
00:29:03Good night.
00:29:05Good night.
00:29:33Ah!
00:29:50Guys.
00:30:02Good morning.
00:30:29Morning.
00:30:31Brennan.
00:30:34We need to talk.
00:30:38I owe you an apology, son.
00:30:40It, uh...
00:30:42pains me greatly to see that
00:30:44you're not like Kate, you know?
00:30:47Hmm. Great apology so far.
00:30:50But you're still my son,
00:30:52and I care about you deeply.
00:30:56So what do you know about this Grace?
00:31:01What do you mean?
00:31:03I've seen her type before.
00:31:05They appear from the woodwork
00:31:08and attach themselves to great families.
00:31:11They're like leeches.
00:31:13I do not want to see
00:31:16my company
00:31:18fall into the hands of some gold digger.
00:31:22How dare you talk about Grace like that?
00:31:25You have no idea what she's done for this company.
00:31:28For me. You have no idea what she's done for me.
00:31:30I couldn't do this without her.
00:31:32Without who?
00:31:38I'll be going.
00:31:40Think about what I said.
00:31:51What was that all about?
00:31:53We have to step up our game.
00:31:55Look, my father's still suspicious of you.
00:31:58What the fuck are we going to do?
00:32:00I thought this was going to work.
00:32:02Hey, it's okay.
00:32:04We'll figure this out.
00:32:06You said you think your mom likes me, right?
00:32:09Maybe we can convince your mom to talk to him
00:32:12and he'll come around.
00:32:15You know, that's not a bad idea.
00:32:29What is wrong with this?
00:32:43You'd like it with cinnamon.
00:32:56So.
00:32:58About last night.
00:33:04Well, aren't you two just the cutest?
00:33:09Mom.
00:33:10I didn't see you come in.
00:33:12Sorry to interrupt you two lovebirds,
00:33:14but I was just on my way to pick out the flowers for the reception.
00:33:18Poor Kate.
00:33:19She's just so busy with her work
00:33:21that she doesn't have any time to do wedding prep.
00:33:24So, would you like to come with me?
00:33:27Oh, she'd love to.
00:33:29Oh, I don't want to intrude.
00:33:31You too, mister.
00:33:33Mom, but I have to work.
00:33:34Oh, please.
00:33:35The last thing this family needs is another workaholic.
00:33:39Shall we?
00:33:44Oh, hey.
00:33:45I love these flowers.
00:33:47I think you two are going to be so excited about them.
00:33:49I know, I'm really excited.
00:33:51Thanks for taking me along.
00:33:54Ha!
00:33:59Every time.
00:34:23Mom.
00:34:25Uh, do you think you could maybe talk to Dad for us?
00:34:29You know, get him to ease up on Grace a bit.
00:34:35Of course, darling.
00:34:37Grace is an absolute angel,
00:34:40and he needs to stop harping on her.
00:34:43Look at my son.
00:34:46Oh, protect him.
00:34:48I love it.
00:34:51What about these?
00:34:55I don't know.
00:34:57Oh, come on.
00:34:59Yellow is bright and fun.
00:35:05A rose for my rose.
00:35:09Yellow roses symbolize friendship.
00:35:12White roses, on the other hand, symbolize purity and loyalty.
00:35:17Brennan!
00:35:20What a coincidence.
00:35:23Jackie, why don't we go check out the lilies?
00:35:26Yeah, let's go.
00:35:33I need to talk to you.
00:35:35What are you doing here?
00:35:37Look, I miss you, silly, and I know you miss me.
00:35:41Look, didn't Grace already tell you?
00:35:43Look, we're not a thing.
00:35:46You mean your bitch-ass assistant?
00:35:48You let her speak for you?
00:35:50Keep your voice down.
00:35:53Why are you defending her?
00:35:57Are you interested in her?
00:36:01No, that would be completely unprofessional.
00:36:06You know what? No, you need to leave now.
00:36:18Think, think happy and rich, happy and rich.
00:36:28Beautiful.
00:36:30All right, one more. Big smiles, big, big smiles.
00:36:33Well, that'll never happen.
00:36:36What about a smirk?
00:36:38He can do a smirk.
00:36:44All right.
00:36:46And how about a solo picture of a brother and girlfriend?
00:37:02You two are dating?
00:37:05Just take the picture.
00:37:07Come on, Brennan. Give her a kiss.
00:37:17Seriously?
00:37:19A real kiss.
00:37:47Real enough?
00:38:02Brennan, what the hell was that?
00:38:04Look, Grace, we've already talked about this.
00:38:07I don't want to talk about it.
00:38:09I don't want to talk about it.
00:38:11I don't want to talk about it.
00:38:14Look, Grace, we've already talked about this.
00:38:16We have to make this look real.
00:38:18I mean, if I hadn't kissed you...
00:38:19No, I mean you running away from me like I bit you.
00:38:22Come on, you said you were going to start pulling your weight.
00:38:24You're going to blow this whole thing.
00:38:27Blow what whole thing?
00:38:29Oh, nothing, just the photo shoot.
00:38:32Brennan, you've got a little carried away.
00:38:35What's that?
00:38:37Family tradition.
00:38:39No, Kate.
00:38:41Consider it an early wedding present to me.
00:38:44Me and Alec versus you guys.
00:38:47Come on.
00:38:50We never got to play with Dulce.
00:38:53Who's Dulce?
00:38:56You haven't told her?
00:38:58Look, that's none of your business, Kate.
00:39:03Fine.
00:39:05Game on.
00:39:08All right, it's easy.
00:39:10Hers means you have to answer questions about Brennan.
00:39:13His means he has to answer questions about you.
00:39:16Each correct answer gets a point.
00:39:18Whoever gets the most points wins.
00:39:21Are you ready to lose?
00:39:25How bad can it be?
00:39:27It's not like we're strangers.
00:39:29Let's start with a question for the boys.
00:39:31All right, first question.
00:39:34What is your partner's go-to lunch?
00:39:48Okay.
00:39:50And 3, 2, 1, flip.
00:39:58Oh, come on.
00:40:00The amount of times I pick that sandwich up for you at work.
00:40:03When I was surprising you.
00:40:06Great.
00:40:08Everybody gets a point.
00:40:10Grace, you pull.
00:40:12Another boys question.
00:40:20When did your partner lose their virginity?
00:40:243, 2, 1, flip.
00:40:30Okay, this is scary.
00:40:32You know me too well.
00:40:34That's the idea, babe.
00:40:42Alec, baby, it's you.
00:40:44Now it's about the girlies.
00:40:46What's your favorite movie?
00:40:48Alec, baby, it's you.
00:40:50Now it's about the girlies.
00:40:52What's your partner's favorite band?
00:41:063, 2, 1, flip.
00:41:12Katy Perry?
00:41:14What the hell is Blood Orange Grove?
00:41:18Bren, you're up.
00:41:49All right.
00:41:51Last question.
00:41:55What is your partner's favorite movie genre?
00:42:04And he gets a point.
00:42:06Finally, his first one.
00:42:08That makes 16 for the Lovebirds and 37 for me and Alec.
00:42:15Match made in heaven, baby.
00:42:30You remember you quit, right?
00:42:33You don't have to keep working for me.
00:42:35Yeah, well, who else is going to check the security cameras for you?
00:42:46Grace, I know you're upset.
00:42:50But it's just a stupid game, right?
00:42:54It doesn't matter.
00:42:56I think I'm going to turn in.
00:42:58Night.
00:43:00No, Grace.
00:43:02Look, I'm trying here.
00:43:05Okay?
00:43:07You can't just shut me out.
00:43:09Talk to me.
00:43:11There's nothing to say, Brennan.
00:43:14Look, you're right.
00:43:16None of this matters.
00:43:20After this weekend, we'll go our separate ways and back to reality.
00:43:27Speaking of, I drafted a list of replacement assistants.
00:43:31It should be in your email.
00:43:34Now, if you'll excuse me.
00:43:37Grace.
00:43:44I'm sorry.
00:44:14I'm sure he's not hiding anything.
00:44:22Maybe she's just an old friend or something.
00:44:25But it's not just that.
00:44:28The other day, we were playing this couples game, and he didn't know anything about me.
00:44:34I've made his life perfect for years, and he couldn't even bother to learn my favorite band.
00:44:39I know it's hard, but clearly he cares about you.
00:44:43I mean, he brought you home to meet his parents.
00:44:46I'm sure he didn't do that with all the other girls.
00:44:52I need to tell you something.
00:45:13What?
00:45:21I thought maybe he was starting to fall for me, for real.
00:45:26I mean, we kissed a couple of times.
00:45:29And the other morning, I woke up and he was holding me.
00:45:34I guess I was just deluding myself like Naomi and all the others.
00:45:39I said I was done with this.
00:45:42I quit, for God's sakes.
00:45:44But then he roped me in like a fucking idiot.
00:45:47I let him pull me right back in.
00:45:50It's like I haven't learned anything.
00:45:52Grace, you're not an idiot.
00:45:54You're just a romantic.
00:45:56And that's different.
00:46:00I don't know.
00:46:02Maybe my mother was right.
00:46:05Real men always let you down.
00:46:09I'm not gonna get my hopes up.
00:46:11I just have to get through the weekend.
00:46:13And then I can put Brennan Wolfe behind me.
00:46:16Cheers.
00:46:38Come in.
00:46:39Late night booty call in your office.
00:46:42Just like the good old days.
00:46:44Glad you finally saw the light, lover.
00:47:02Brennan?
00:47:05Baby?
00:47:07Where'd you go? I'm right here.
00:47:11No, this was a mistake.
00:47:13You need to go.
00:47:16No.
00:47:17The only mistake was you letting me go.
00:47:23No.
00:47:24You need to go.
00:47:26Get out.
00:47:28The fuck, Brennan?
00:47:29Go!
00:47:37Go.
00:47:53Brenny?
00:47:54Is that you?
00:47:56Mom.
00:47:57What are you doing up?
00:48:00I have something for you.
00:48:02I wanted to give it to you earlier.
00:48:05But I just wanted to let you know how happy I am that you and Grace have found each other.
00:48:10It's just been so long since Dulcy and I...
00:48:13I was beginning to worry you'd never find it again.
00:48:18Mom, I...
00:48:20It's okay.
00:48:21You deserve to feel love again.
00:48:24And I know now might not be the right time but...
00:48:27I wanted to give you this.
00:48:36Your father proposed to me with it.
00:48:39And when the time comes,
00:48:41maybe you could propose to Grace with it.
00:48:49It just...
00:48:50It feels so much like last time.
00:48:53Mom, what if that means that it's all going to fall apart again?
00:48:57It's okay, sweetie.
00:48:59That feeling is fear.
00:49:02That feeling is fear.
00:49:04And all that means is that it's real.
00:49:22You said you needed to see me?
00:49:25Now who needs reminding that I quit?
00:49:29Look, there's something I want to tell you.
00:49:32I, uh...
00:49:34I want you to be my girlfriend.
00:49:39It feels like we've covered this.
00:49:41No, I mean...
00:49:44Like, for real, this time.
00:49:48What did you just say?
00:49:50I've been an idiot.
00:49:53Right? I've taken you for granted and these last few days have made me realize
00:49:57I can't live without you.
00:49:59Rather, I don't want to.
00:50:04I want to make us official.
00:50:08What do you say?
00:50:17Wait.
00:50:20Wait.
00:50:26If I could live anywhere in the world, where would I live?
00:50:31What? I...
00:50:33Who's my hero?
00:50:36I...
00:50:37What's my mother's name?
00:50:39What's my favorite childhood memory?
00:50:42What are my favorite hobbies?
00:50:45Where am I from?
00:50:48You say you can't live without me, Brennan.
00:50:51No, you can't live without what I do for you.
00:50:54Besides the fact that I make your life easier, you don't know anything about me.
00:51:05I know that you're kind.
00:51:11I know that you're not afraid to stand up for people you care about.
00:51:18That you love your mom.
00:51:21That you're an extremely hard worker.
00:51:26That you snore.
00:51:32I know that you make me feel safe and happy and good.
00:51:39And if you give me a chance, I'll learn the rest.
00:51:44Please.
00:51:46Grace.
00:52:13Grace.
00:52:21I'm here.
00:52:23It's never stopped you before.
00:52:36Hey there, beautiful.
00:52:44You look like you've been up all night.
00:52:47And whose fault is that?
00:52:58Get me?
00:53:01And...
00:53:03Two.
00:53:05Okay.
00:53:07Hold still.
00:53:10Okay.
00:53:12Hold still there, Mr. Wolf.
00:53:16This will make you look awake. There.
00:53:27Wow.
00:53:31You are a miracle worker.
00:53:35What else is new?
00:53:41You know, when I get married, I'm not inviting any of these people.
00:53:46In fact, I'm not inviting anyone at all.
00:53:49Vegas elopement.
00:53:52Elvis impersonator.
00:53:54Reception at the casino.
00:53:56It works.
00:53:58It's very romantic.
00:54:01I'm not sure if it's romantic.
00:54:04I'm not sure if it's romantic.
00:54:08It's very romantic.
00:54:11Yeah.
00:54:13What about you?
00:54:16I don't know.
00:54:18Oh, come on. Don't tell me you haven't thought about it.
00:54:21I mean, doesn't every single one of those rom-coms have some sort of cliche fairy tale wedding?
00:54:28I guess I...
00:54:30I never imagined it because...
00:54:32I've never been in love before.
00:54:35All the guys I've been with haven't...
00:54:38Something hasn't felt right.
00:54:41It's like I've been waiting for someone.
00:54:49What about you?
00:54:51What about me?
00:54:53Have you ever been in love?
00:54:59Excuse me.
00:55:00Do you mind if I borrow my son for a moment?
00:55:05Be my guest.
00:55:22Time to pay the piper, bro.
00:55:25What the fuck is this?
00:55:28Kate.
00:55:31The other night...
00:55:33I went down to get a drink of water.
00:55:36And that's when I heard your so-called girlfriend saying something very interesting to her little friend.
00:55:42She's not your girlfriend after all, is she?
00:55:45Look, Dad, I don't know what you're...
00:55:47No more of your lies, son.
00:55:49And do not ask your mother to intervene.
00:55:51I knew this was wrong from the get-go.
00:55:54Now I have proof.
00:55:56I'll be meeting with the board on Monday morning.
00:55:59And then you'll begin the process of transferring your division's assets over to...
00:56:04Wait!
00:56:06Look.
00:56:07I don't know what Kate heard or thinks she heard.
00:56:11But what Grace and I have is real.
00:56:14I swear.
00:56:17I'll prove it.
00:56:29PHONE VIBRATES
00:56:43Excuse me, everyone.
00:56:46Excuse me, may I please just have a moment of your time?
00:56:50And will my lovely girlfriend, Grace Reynolds, please join me?
00:57:00MUSIC PLAYS
00:57:09Grace, I've known you for a very long time.
00:57:14Honestly, it feels like forever.
00:57:16And recently, something's changed and I've realized just how deep my love for you runs.
00:57:23And now I'd like to formalize that love.
00:57:29MUSIC PLAYS
00:57:39My father gave my mother this ring 30 years ago.
00:57:42And through all the hardships they've endured, this ring has remained a symbol of their enduring love.
00:57:48Yesterday, my mother gave it to me.
00:57:51And today, I'd like to give it to you.
00:57:54Grace Reynolds, will you do me the honors of making me the happiest man on earth?
00:58:01And allow me to be your husband?
00:58:14Yes.
00:58:16I'll marry you.
00:58:25APPLAUSE
00:58:44I need to talk to you.
00:58:48Grace, I know, I know, but my father and Kate, they were circling me and...
00:58:52You resolve my contract today.
00:58:55I'll stay with you publicly until your father agrees to leave your division alone.
00:58:59But then I'm gone.
00:59:01And I never want to see you again.
00:59:05Why?
00:59:17Grace, this was a mistake.
00:59:19But I put a stop to it. I promise, nothing happened.
00:59:23Why should I believe you?
00:59:25I mean, it's on the tape. Watch it.
00:59:28Grace, you've been my assistant for five years.
00:59:35You know me.
00:59:37You know everything about me.
00:59:40Not everything.
00:59:43What's that supposed to mean?
00:59:45Who's Dulce?
00:59:47This is... personal.
00:59:50Well, you just asked me to marry you, so what's yours is mine, right, honey?
00:59:58Who is she?
01:00:03Nothing to say.
01:00:07Well, it doesn't matter.
01:00:09Because I'm done.
01:00:18Okay.
01:00:35Grace?
01:00:37Oh, thank God.
01:00:40What is this? Where am I?
01:00:44What's wrong with me?
01:00:47Grace, just calm down, okay? You're gonna hurt yourself.
01:00:51You were hit by a car.
01:00:54What?
01:00:56You got a spinal injury.
01:00:58And, well, you're suffering from paralysis.
01:01:01But it's only temporary.
01:01:03The doctor said that you'll walk again, you just...
01:01:06Your body needs time to recover.
01:01:08I should be in a hospital.
01:01:11I should be in a hospital.
01:01:13Grace, we have the very best doctors on retainer.
01:01:17Mom, can Grace and I just have a moment, please?
01:01:20Of course.
01:01:22But if you need anything, just call.
01:01:25I'll be in the next room.
01:01:35Grace, when I saw you outside on the street, I was so fucking scared, I thought I'd lost you.
01:01:40Lost your little prop, you mean?
01:01:43How could you say that? Do you really think I don't care about you?
01:01:48Brennan, if your father wasn't in the picture, would you have even asked me out?
01:01:56I...
01:01:58Yeah, I didn't think so.
01:02:01You can keep trying to trick yourself into thinking that you care about me, but this whole time you were just playing pretend.
01:02:09I'll stay here until I can walk again, but...
01:02:12We're over.
01:02:14Grace, I...
01:02:21Okay. Whatever you want.
01:02:39That's not true. Angela, I love you.
01:02:45Love isn't a single tender thought about me in the middle of the night, Xavier.
01:02:50I know that.
01:02:57I, uh, thought you might be hungry.
01:03:02I made lasagna. Belle told me it was your favorite.
01:03:06Belle told me it was your favorite?
01:03:09Can I at least leave it by your bed?
01:03:14Okay.
01:03:27Fuck!
01:03:30Let me see it, let me see it.
01:03:33Alright, you're okay, but...
01:03:36It's just cramping because you've been in the bed so long. It just needs to be massaged.
01:03:42Just... just fucking do it.
01:03:45Okay.
01:03:47Oh, breathe. Breathe into it.
01:03:51Right there.
01:03:53Breathe. Steady.
01:03:57Calm. Slow it down.
01:04:00Breathe.
01:04:12You can stop.
01:04:19Of course.
01:04:24You're good at that.
01:04:27Yeah.
01:04:29I've got quite a bit of experience.
01:04:35You know, I think it's time I told you about Dulce.
01:04:47She was my fiancée.
01:04:50You were engaged?
01:04:53Yeah.
01:04:56We were young.
01:04:59She was a free spirit, in love with the world.
01:05:03And I admired that.
01:05:06Honestly, I wanted to be just like her.
01:05:10I asked her to marry me after two weeks.
01:05:19A month after the engagement, we got the diagnosis.
01:05:26And six months later, I buried her.
01:05:31We never got to walk down the aisle.
01:05:35I'm so sorry, Brennan.
01:05:39So I just... I pushed down my emotions and drowned myself in girlfriends and one-night stands, but nothing worked.
01:05:50And I thought, if I fell in love again, that something terrible would happen.
01:05:56And I was right.
01:06:01Are you saying...
01:06:04Are you saying you love me?
01:06:06Grace.
01:06:09How could I not love you?
01:06:13Look, I know I don't deserve your forgiveness or your love.
01:06:21But please, let me take care of you like you've taken care of me for so long.
01:06:30Just until you recover.
01:06:33Then you can go.
01:06:37Then you can go.
01:06:45Fuck, Belle, that hurts.
01:06:47That's good.
01:06:49Dr. Hurt says that's a good sign.
01:06:51It means you're getting your feeling back.
01:06:55Hey.
01:07:04Hey, you know what you're gonna tell him?
01:07:07I think he means what he said.
01:07:09But it took him forever to be honest, and he used me for so long.
01:07:16I don't know.
01:07:18Maybe my mom was right.
01:07:20Men aren't like in the rom-coms.
01:07:23Of course they're not.
01:07:25Girl, those guys are made up.
01:07:28That's like a dude getting mad at you for not being like the girls in the promos.
01:07:32It's not the same.
01:07:34You know, he admitted he was wrong, and now he's trying to make it better.
01:07:39In my book, that's worth a shot.
01:07:42Alright, let's do the other side.
01:07:56Yeah, of course.
01:08:06Doc told me you're doing really well.
01:08:09Said you stood up today.
01:08:11Yeah, for a whole two seconds.
01:08:15Still.
01:08:17That's amazing.
01:08:19Grace, I'm so proud of you.
01:08:25I guess that means that you'll be leaving soon.
01:08:29Yeah, I guess.
01:08:35Well, before you go to bed, wanna watch a rom-com?
01:08:39Heard there's a new one on Netflix.
01:08:44No, I'm okay.
01:08:47No, I'm okay.
01:08:49I'm feeling a bit tired.
01:08:52Wanna read a book?
01:08:54I actually went ahead and picked you up a copy of Pride and Prejudice, just in case.
01:08:59Or I could read it to you, if you want.
01:09:04Actually, I already started.
01:09:07I'm not sure I understand it, because Darcy's kind of a dick.
01:09:13He gets better.
01:09:19Got it.
01:09:20No, I'm okay.
01:09:26Wanna listen to some music before you go to bed?
01:09:43Never heard of those Blood Orange Grove guys?
01:09:48I hear they're pretty good.
01:10:18Grace, I'm so sorry, but my family is here. I swear I had no idea they were coming.
01:10:24But I'll tell them to leave immediately.
01:10:26It's okay.
01:10:27No, you're still recovering.
01:10:31And I still haven't told them that we're not together anymore.
01:10:35But I was just gonna tell them we broke up as soon as you left.
01:10:40Brennan, it's okay.
01:10:43I can do this.
01:10:47Well, we wanted to come earlier, but somebody made us wait until you were better.
01:10:56Well, I'm really glad that you're all here.
01:11:02Oh, um, Grace, and Brennan, I'd like to apologize for the way I've behaved.
01:11:12I thought I was acting in the best interest of my son, and I see now that I was wrong.
01:11:20So, I would like to give this union my full blessing.
01:11:27No.
01:11:29Stop. I...
01:11:31Mom, Dad, there's...
01:11:34There's something I need to tell you.
01:11:37Brennan, what are you doing?
01:11:42Grace isn't my fiancée.
01:11:50She was my assistant.
01:11:55She tried to quit, but I wouldn't let her.
01:11:59In fact, I blackmailed her into pretending to be my girlfriend so that you would keep my division open.
01:12:12Grace is a beautiful, lovely, kind, and sweet woman.
01:12:22And I used her to further my own goals.
01:12:27Even now, she's still helping me when I almost got her killed.
01:12:33Because that's just who she is.
01:12:38I won't let you continue lying for me anymore.
01:12:45Everything you said is true. I'm an unserious playboy.
01:12:50But this playboy wants to do better.
01:12:54So if you have to close my division, I guess I understand.
01:13:01Sam, don't.
01:13:09I didn't even have to beat you. You did it for me.
01:13:14That's enough, Kate. Go wait in the car.
01:13:20No.
01:13:34I am so proud of you. I mean it.
01:13:38I was so brave of you to tell the truth.
01:13:42But I could tell you were keeping something from us.
01:13:46But I could also see that you and Grace really care for each other.
01:13:52And that it wasn't a lie, even when you thought it was.
01:13:58Now, I'll let you two talk this through.
01:14:10But I'm...
01:14:13Grace, I understand if you just want to go home now.
01:14:18I can send your stuff to your apartment. But don't worry, I won't be coming with it.
01:14:24Brennan, I'm not leaving.
01:14:31You're not?
01:14:35My whole life, I thought if a guy couldn't measure up to the Nora Ephron or Nancy Myers heroes, he wasn't worth it.
01:14:45But maybe it's good that you're not this perfect guy.
01:14:50Because I'm not a porn star.
01:14:54What?
01:14:57It sounded better when Bell said it.
01:15:03I guess maybe fantasies are fantasies for a reason.
01:15:10And after all of this, I realized I don't want a fairy tale.
01:15:17I want real.
01:15:20I want you.
01:15:23I want to give us a chance.
01:15:28And one day, a long, long time into the future, maybe you can give this back to me.
01:15:41Not today. Clear?
01:15:58Crystal.
01:16:08I can't believe you told your parents everything.
01:16:13Sam is definitely going to shut down your division now.
01:16:18What are you going to do?
01:16:23I think I have an idea.
