this party stop
this feeling stop
Okay, Charlotte,
I've got your outfit.
I'm just gonna put it on the couch for you.
And your shoes,
and I just need your opinion on these two scarves.
Oh. This one.
This, thank you.
this party stop
Our guest today is a Rhodes Scholar,
famed psychologist
and holds a PhD from Oxford.
But you all know her as an author of three,
soon to be four, best-selling books
on love and relationships.
Please welcome,
the one, the only,
Miss Charlotte Meyers.
Hi.
Aw, thank you.
So wonderful to see you.
So nice to see you.
Oh, sit down.
Thank you, wow.
So Charlotte, tell us about your new book.
Well this book is very personal to me.
It's about how my fiancee Doug and I
found each other again after a particularly rough patch.
Want to read us a snippet?
Sure.
Okay, let's see.
Oh, this is a good one.
I knew in my bones that something was different.
I could no longer hide from the piercing persistent truth
that was desperately trying to knock down my door.
Doug and I had fallen out of love
and I didn't think we could recover.
So your strength comes from your whole torso,
not just your arms.
What you're gonna do is dig in with your shoulder
and then rotate all the way back.
Just like that.
You're gonna have to use the J stroke, Karen,
or you're just gonna keep going in circles.
Please put the phone away.
Karen.
Whoa!
Perfect, just like that.
Sir?
Sir, can you dive in and get my phone?
Yeah Mike?
Yeah we got another phone in the drink.
Hey Mike, we now have the owner of said phone
also in the water.
But like ships to the lighthouse
we found our way back to one another.
We found our way to a love stronger,
better and deeper than we ever could have imagined.
And to find out how we did that,
you'll have to buy the book.
Now rumor on the street is
that you're getting your own talk show.
Is that true?
You'll have to stay tuned.
And, uh, keep an eye on my website.
Charlotte Meyers, everyone, give it up.
Thanks for being here.
Thanks for having me.
So good.
Thank you.
Okay, well we got your photo shoot
for the Chicago Daily right now.
He's set up in the lobby for us, okay?
Great.
Hi, hello, we have Charlotte Meyers here.
And I'm Mallory, her assistant.
You're late.
I know, I'm so sorry.
We were a little bit behind.
You look amazing.
I've been trying to get a hold of you.
I need to talk to you.
I know, today was crazy, I'm sorry.
But let's grab dinner after.
Sit, now.
We're behind schedule.
Yes, yes, I know, I'm sorry.
Oh!
Let's get you in here. -Ah...
The book is about our relationship after all.
I don't think that's a good idea.
Come on, it'll be fun.
You're not listening to me.
I need to talk to you.
Okay, well what is it then?
It's just, um...
I'm not happy, Charlotte.
You're not happy, what do you mean?
Is it your job, do you need more exercise?
It's not my job, Charlotte, it's not exercise.
It's us.
I think we should break up.
Are you serious?
You wanna break up?
Could you just stop for a minute?
Five minutes.
Are you seriously doing this the day my book launches?
The book about our relationship
where we-we-we salvaged it and got engaged?
The book that got me my TV show?
I know the timing isn't ideal.
Ideal?
Doug, we're getting married in a month!
Why are you doing this to me?
It's not you.
Really, it's me.
Sure.
Seriously, Char.
You're perfect.
You're brilliant, you're beautiful.
My parents love you.
Yeah, great.
I should be happy.
But I'm not.
I think I loved the idea of us more than the reality of us.
I'm sorry.
Just go.
Go.
I'll, uh, get my mother to cancel all the wedding plans.
I could have died.
What kind of racket are you guys running here?
He tipped my canoe on purpose.
I lost everything!
Ma'am it's just a phone.
You're just a little shaken up.
I'm hypothermic!
It's 75 degrees outside.
You just need to take off your life jacket
and go stand in the sun.
I'm not paying for this.
I mean, are these canoes even up to code?
Uh uh, you bet your bum they are,
pardon my English.
They're brand new and top of the line.
You shouldn't have been taking selfies on the boat.
You think that's the first time that this has happened?
That's why we have a no selfies policy.
You will pay full price
or I will send you to collections, mhm.
Now when you're all settled up
join us for lunch in the pub.
It's on the house.
Thank you, have a nice day.
Enjoy your lunch.
Why are people always trying to get out of paying?
'Cause they don't respect our time or our work.
Or nature for that matter.
Ah, they're not all bad.
I find most people to have a redeeming quality or two.
By the way,
there's another message for you on the machine.
Sarah again.
Thanks.
Are you planning on calling her back?
She's been trying you for weeks.
No, I'm just not looking for anything like that right now.
Hmm, when will you be looking for something like that?
Hey Mike, do you wanna hand me that ketchup?
Hey bro, long time no talk.
Hi Rob, I don't wanna worry you,
but Dad's had a bit of a fall.
I'll be on the first flight out.
I can't believe it.
We've all been there, sweetie.
I'm sure you're devastated.
Who am I to give love advice
if I can't even keep my own fiancee?
But you're upset about the engagement too, right?
Of course.
I'm just trying to keep my entire life from imploding here.
I just got off the phone with the network.
They somehow heard about the breakup.
Well what did they say?
They wanna put the talk show on hold.
But just until this all blows over.
That's it, that means it's over.
No, it's not over.
We'll revisit it in a few months.
No, my career is finished, I'm-I'm done!
I'm done.
Hey, we can manage this, okay?
I pushed the interview with the Chicago Daily 'til Monday
so that gives us a few days to figure out
how to spin this.
In the meantime, get some sleep, okay?
We'll meet with the publisher in the morning.
Okay.
You're gonna get through this.
You'll come out on top, you always do.
Oh.
Dad?
Hey.
Dad, what happened?
I fell off the roof.
Dang gutters.
You know there's people you can pay to do that, right?
Yeah, there's toilets you can flush money down too.
Doesn't mean I'm gonna do it.
Hey, Bro.
Well the surgery went well.
I got 10 screws.
Oh.
But we got another problem.
Do I wanna know?
Dad doesn't have health insurance.
Apparently he lost his job a few months ago.
Dad, why didn't you tell us that?
It's no big deal.
I was gonna retire soon anyway.
Not a big deal?
Dad, your Medicare doesn't kick in until your birthday.
I just got laid off a few months ago.
I hadn't figured that part out yet.
Well how are we gonna pay for this surgery then?
Don't you worry about it.
That's my problem, not yours.
He dumped you.
This is not a good look.
I know.
The book is about making a struggling relationship
whole again. - Right.
The engagement is the selling feature.
Yes.
But you're not engaged anymore.
No.
This is not a good look.
What do you suggest we do?
Well I say we cut our losses on this one.
Cancel the promos, pull the marketing.
There's no sense feeding a dying cow.
The book, not you.
So you just wanna give up?
What if I still wanna promote it?
Oh, oh honey no, no, no, no.
Do yourself a favor,
stay far away from that book.
It's a bomb.
Well, um, that's a bummer.
Maybe we should start to think about the next book.
Use the Daily Article to,
to announce it
and distract people from the breakup.
I started working on an outline and I think it's-
Yeah maybe we should put a pin in that.
What-what do you mean?
I mean, maybe, you know,
lay off the relationship advice for a bit.
Jane, what are you saying?
Look, Charlotte, I like you
but I run a business.
You can't pretend to be an expert on relationships
when you can't even manage your own.
Now you've always been on shaky ground with Doug
but it's not like your past dating history
was that much better.
And when you're young and single,
it's fine, it's relatable even.
But the older you get,
it'll just be the final nail in the coffin.
So what are you saying?
You're not gonna publish my books anymore?
Well, unless you can wow me with something new and original,
and preferably having absolutely nothing
to do with relationships,
probably not.
He's finally asleep.
A support nurse will be here in a few hours
to wake him up for his pain meds.
Good, good.
Well I'm glad you hired some help.
I just wish I could stay longer.
Well you gotta get back to work.
It's fine,
I don't see enough of you these days.
Yeah.
I've got a bit of time, do you wanna grab a beer?
I think we could do better than that.
Put me in this straitjacket,
how am I supposed to relax in this thing?
Don't take that jacket off.
You're already pushing it in those shoes.
If you try to put those other boats on me one more time,
I will leave right now, I swear.
Relax, relax.
I won't, you're so dramatic, Rob.
I-I forgot my wallet in the car.
Bar's on the third floor, go grab us a table, okay?
Yeah, yeah.
I just don't feel like socializing, Mallory.
We're not socializing.
We're brainstorming the ways to turn this all around.
Take control of your narrative,
plot your comeback.
Yeah but I don't know how to put a positive spin
on getting dumped.
We'll figure it out.
I have to use the bathroom.
Can you get us a table?
It's on the third floor.
Wait, hold it!
Thank you.
Sure.
Whoa.
Huh.
Ah, I'm sure they'll fix it soon.
I hope so.
I'm a little claustrophobic.
Woo!
Is it hot in here?
Where are these people?
It's been like an hour.
Ah, it's been 30 seconds.
Hey hey hey, hey, it's gonna be okay.
Just try breathing.
Close your eyes and count to ten.
One, two, three, four, five, six-
No, not working!
Help, somebody help us!
I'd hate to see what you're like
in a real emergency.
Hi, is this the front desk?
Hi, yeah, we're stuck in your elevator right now.
Not moving, no.
Could ya? Yeah.
Great, okay, thanks so much.
See you soon.
They're on their way.
Oh.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
First step in an emergency is to keep your cool.
There's often an easy solution within grasp
if your mind is clear enough to find it.
I'll make sure to let my nervous system know next time.
Thank you.
No problem.
So what are you, an EMT or something?
Wilderness Guide.
I teach survival skills and take people
on guided wilderness tours.
Well that's fun.
Maybe I should take one of your classes.
Eh, it's not really fun.
I'm not sure a city girl like you would enjoy it.
Excuse me?
I don't mean any offense.
I just, I don't think you'd like it.
Oh, here we go.
Have a good one.
There you are,
I was starting to get worried.
I just met the rudest man.
I got stuck on the elevator with this-
Total city chick.
Just like designer this, high heels that.
I mean, sorry we're not all wilderness guides
or whatever he said.
Like excuse me for having an emotional reaction
to a life threatening situation, you know?
I mean, she just lost it, like truly lost it.
She was trying to pry the doors open with her fingernails.
And then he said this.
He called me "a city girl".
Like it's some sort of an insult,
like I couldn't hack it on a camping trip or something.
I mean, come on.
I think I may have offended her,
but I was just being honest.
I'm so sick of these tourists coming in
and then crying when things don't go their way.
Well aren't tourists your whole business?
Yes.
Well now I need their money to help Dad.
How hard could it be to start a fire
or catch a fish?
My dad taught me that when I was five.
The city girl and the wilderness guy.
That sounds like a great idea for a-
Book.
Oh my god.
"The City Girl's Guide to Wilderness Survival."
That's my next book!
I love it, that's it.
I just need a wilderness guide.
Hi, I don't think we officially met.
I'm Charlotte.
Rob.
Ben.
Mallory.
I wanted to thank you for your help
in the elevator back there.
I'm sure when you insulted me
you were just having a bad day
and taking it out on me.
And that's a thank you?
I actually wanted to talk to you
about an amazing opportunity.
Yeah, we were actually just thinking about leaving.
I don't think you recognize me.
I'm Charlotte Meyers, the author.
Lasting Love?
Growing, Together?
I have a huge online following,
a podcast?
I'm sorry. -No?
No idea.
Well, I'm writing a new book.
"The City Girl's Guide to Wilderness Survival"
and I need a teacher.
And that teacher could be you.
What do you say?
You're writing a book about wilderness survival?
I sure am.
No thanks.
We really gotta get going.
It was so nice to meet you ladies.
Be safe out there and, uh,
watch out for those elevators, huh?
It pays good money!
How much?
Thirty days in the wilderness of Northern Minnesota.
I'll spend the first three weeks learning survival skills
and the last week will be a 30 mile canoe trip
through the Superior National Forest
where I'll sleep under the stars and catch my own meals.
And it has nothing to do with relationships?
Nope.
No love, no feelings,
just straight up survival techniques.
I love it.
Really?
Yes, it's dangerous, it's different, it's fun.
I love it.
Now you have the Chicago Daily interview tomorrow, right?
Yes.
Okay.
Use that to announce the book.
Ooh, and really lean into that, you know,
single girl in the city thing.
Maybe we can use this breakup to our advantage, ladies.
Yes!
Ah, ah, ah, ah-
That's the woman that you're babysitting
for the next month?
I don't get it, why?
Trust me, I'm not looking forward to it.
I need the money to help Dad.
Ummm, still doesn't make any sense to me.
Do you like her?
Absolutely not.
She is not my type at all.
Nah, I can't believe you're letting some big city author
write a book about you.
No, no, no, no, no.
Under no circumstances is she allowed to name me,
feature me,
talk about me.
I'm to be referred to exclusively as "the guide".
Huh, so when does she get here?
Any minute now.
You guys'll be nice to her, right?
I have a feeling she's gonna stick out
like a sore thumb.
Let's not make it any harder on her.
Well, for sure.
We're Minnesotans, we're always nice!
Mhm. -Right.
Hello!
Wow!
Ooh!
Oh! - Welcome.
Thank you.
How many bags did you bring?
You know you're only here a month, right?
Always be prepared,
that's what my dad taught me.
You never know what you might need.
Oh, this place is beautiful!
I'm looking forward to a little R and R.
R and R, right.
Well, here it is.
It's quaint.
Um, there's extra blankets in the closet
and I've stocked the fridge with some basics.
If you want more food there's a grocery store in town.
How far is town?
About five miles, give or take.
I don't have a car.
Your legs work, right?
Yeah, I love walking.
There's no wi-fi and cell reception is spotty at best,
but you're welcome to use the landline in the main lodge
whenever you like.
There's no wi-fi?
Is that a problem?
No, I've been wanting to "disconnect" anyway.
It's great. -Perfect.
There's the bathroom.
You get a solid three minutes of hot water a day
so use your time wisely.
There's no mirror in here.
And?
Just an observation.
All right you should get some sleep.
We start early tomorrow.
Great, I'm an early riser.
Five a.m.
That's, uh, practically sleeping in for me.
Okay.
Good night.
Basics, huh?
What can I make with a tomato, an onion,
a cucumber and beef?
What about like,
I don't know, something Greek.
Like a Greek salad with beef in it?
That would be so good,
but the feta cheese is five miles away.
Sorry, what's that?
I-I can't really hear you.
Ugh, you're kind of breaking up.
Ugh, the service here is terrible.
I've been using my data plan
and it's gonna cost me a fortune.
Can you send me a wi-fi router?
Yeah, you got it, boss.
How's the cabin?
It's, it's cute!
It's-it's really cute.
And since I'm gonna be here for a while
I was thinking of going to town
and buying some stuff, you know,
give it a little Charlotte vibe.
Mm, that sounds fun.
Yeah, super fun.
What are you up to? You look amazing!
Oh, tonight's the Children's Foundation Gala, remember?
Ah, yeah, Sasha's annual gala.
I can't believe I'm missing that.
You're not really missing much.
You know how these things go.
Cocktails, auctions, hors d'oeuvres.
It's pretty boring.
Yeah, sounds awful.
Well, I better go,
I can't really hear you,
but have a good night.
Enjoy the peace and quiet,
maybe you'll actually see some stars.
Maybe I will.
Have fun tonight.
Okay, so, portaging is when you carry your canoe
over your head,
traversing the land between bodies of water.
Now, when you're picking up a canoe,
you, um,
okay, I'm sorry, I can't.
What is with the outfit?
What do you mean?
I mean, where do you even get a hat like that?
Who are you, Indiana Jones?
I like my hat.
And those boots,
you know we're getting in the water, right?
I know, which is why I paid extra
for the waterproofing.
Can we-can we please continue?
Portaging, you were saying.
Yeah, so,
when you're lifting a canoe over your head
there are three words you need to remember.
Gunnel, hips and yoke.
You grab the gunnel with one hand.
Bring it around, grab the other side.
Bring it up to your thighs,
and then you use your hips to hoist it up
and over your head.
And you stand under the yoke.
Just like that, got it?
Sure thing.
Gunnel, hips, yoke.
Now you probably won't be able to lift it on your own,
so we'll just go into a two person-
Cool, like this?
Yeah, that was, uh, that was perfect, actually.
Thank you.
You're pretty strong.
I hope so.
I work out six days a week.
Oh, okay.
Are we doing this?
Well, moving on then.
This way? - Yeah.
Here we go!
Sure, lead the way.
I got this!
Okay, now, the J stroke is when you-
Is when you want to keep the boat straight
without losing speed, right?
Like this?
Yeah, how'd you know that?
I did a little research.
Couldn't help myself.
Let me guess, you were a straight A student.
Valedictorian.
Not that it matters.
Good for you.
I'm getting the hang of this.
I don't mean to be rude or anything
but portaging and canoeing
isn't exactly wilderness survival.
It is when you're a hundred miles away from civilization
and your radios don't work.
Besides, we're starting with the basics.
We'll work up to the good stuff.
Mmm, exciting!
All right, let's row it in.
You've had a long day and you deserve a rest.
Um, and we're actually throwing you
a welcome dinner tonight at the pub,
so you can come out and meet everyone.
A what?
That's so sweet, thank you.
Great.
Why don't you lead the way, J stroke?
All right!
Valedictorian.
Follow me.
Day one was a raging-
No, a roaring success.
Having successfully proved that despite my city girl ways-
Nay, perhaps because of them,
I was a force to be reckoned with.
Just a little snooze.
I am so sorry I'm late, I overslept.
All that portaging.
It's okay, really.
Although we did already eat, sorry.
Ooh, I feel terrible.
And all this for me?
It's okay, really, hi.
I'm Tina.
Mike and I, we co-own the resort and pub here with Rob.
I'm Charlotte, it's so nice to meet you.
Hi. -Nice to meet you as well.
That is a gorgeous outfit.
I'll make up a plate for you, there's plenty of food left.
Oh, thank you.
Can I get you a drink?
Ah, yes. -Yeah?
A glass of wine or something?
White wine, thank you.
You got it.
Thank you.
They'll warm up to ya.
Might help if you try to blend in a little bit though.
Blend in how?
Well, you could wear less makeup for starters.
It's tinted moisturizer.
Lose the high heels maybe.
It's a special occasion.
There you go.
I'm so hungry, thank you.
You know, I couldn't help but overhear
your conversation with Rob.
There are a couple of good local clothing stores in town
if you wanted to get something a little bit more comfortable.
I could take you tomorrow.
I would love that.
Is that okay with you Sarge?
I know that you, uh, run a really tight ship.
I think I can spare her for a couple hours.
Excellent.
Get some normal boots, would ya?
Yes, boss.
Is he always like that?
Yes.
Always.
Not a lot of variety,
but I assure you the quality's great.
Oh, this is beautiful.
Only 30 dollars and it's locally made?
Look at the quality of this leather, it's insane.
Just because it doesn't cost a lot,
doesn't mean that it's cheap.
You know what, you're right.
I'll grab a few.
Not sure why you'd need more than one
but whatever floats your boat.
I'll give them as gifts.
Ah.
Hey, can I ask you something?
Ask away.
What's the deal with Rob?
What do you mean?
Well, he spends a lot of time on his own.
His family's in Chicago, right?
Mm.
You and Mike have each other here
but who does he have?
He used to have someone out here.
They were actually engaged, it was a guide too.
But she had an identity crisis,
broke off the engagement, moved to New York.
I think she's in finance or something.
Really?
Yeah.
Really did a number on him.
He hasn't dated much since.
I had no idea.
Yeah, I don't think he likes to talk about it.
He's a little embarrassed.
Yeah, I can relate.
You know what, you finish up here.
Okay. -Okay.
I love these, I'm gonna grab these three.
One, two, three.
You are just determined to buy out this whole town aren't you?
The cabin needs sprucing.
Ah.
Is that for cooking?
It's a diffuser for my essential oils.
Hmm, okay, let's go.
Hi.
Come in. - Hello.
Thank you.
Wow, looks incredible in here.
Yeah, I-I moved some stuff around,
I hope you don't mind.
I see that.
No, I love it.
Oh, thank you.
Can I get you a sandwich or anything?
No, I already ate, but thank you.
Are you ready for your next lesson?
Sure am.
What are we doing?
Haven't been fishing since I was ten.
I used to love it.
Why does that surprise me?
I wasn't born in Chicago, you know?
I'm from Idaho,
from a very outdoorsy family.
You are from Idaho?
Yup.
How the heck did you end up in Chicago?
After grad school
I got a job teaching psychology at Northwestern.
And then I wrote my first book
and the rest is history.
I could never live in Chicago.
All the smog and traffic,
construction, and it's so crowded.
I could never live out here.
Don't get me wrong,
it's so beautiful, it's just-
really isolated.
There's barely anyone here.
One restaurant and you guys don't even have a movie theatre.
Hey, at least it's peaceful.
I can hear myself think out here.
So it's like a,
like a meditation for you?
A what?
A meditation.
Hold on.
Soothing Female Close your eyes,
imagine you are floating slowly above a tranquil,
serene lake.
Why-why do you need an app
when you can get the real thing for free?
It's pretty relaxing, I'll give you that.
Please tell me you rented out all 30 canoes.
Huh, what are you talking about?
You didn't sent them out for maintenance,
move them somewhere else for storage?
No, why?
Hide them in the kitchen?
Where are the canoes, Mike?
You're from Chicago, right?
Born and raised.
How did you end up out here?
My dad took Ben and I on a trip up here
when I was 13.
It was just after my mom passed away.
I guess you could say it was a transformative trip
for a young city boy like me.
After I got back, it's all I could think about
and when I turned 18,
I moved up here and I haven't looked back.
I'm sorry about your mom.
It's okay.
Thank you.
A country girl turned city
and a city boy turned country.
We're quite the pair, you and I.
I guess you're right.
Oh!
I think I got something!
Reel it in. - I think I got something!
Oh my god!
Reel it in!
Look at this thing!
Woo!
Here, here, hold it up.
I'll get a photo.
Wow!
It's so heavy.
Cheese.
Fish fry.
Thank you.
Woo!
You caught a beauty, Charlotte.
Enough for 10 people.
Thank you for cooking it.
Ah, my pleasure.
Hey Mike, can I get a beer please?
Mike.
You all right?
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm-I'm fine.
It, sorry, it's just this canoe stuff.
What canoe stuff?
Someone broke into the shed and stole all the canoes.
They were brand new and top of the line.
What?
Who would do that?
A bunch of jerks, that's who.
Can your insurance reimburse you for that?
They were so new we hadn't updated the paperwork yet,
so we're gonna have to pay out of pocket.
With money we don't have.
Well I-I can raise money.
It's my specialty.
Oh no, that's okay.
We'll figure something out.
Seriously.
You need canoes to run your business, right?
What other options do you have?
Well we don't really have any other options truthfully.
Then let me help you.
I-I'll start a GoFundMe
and I'll send it to all my friends.
They love spending money.
Really, you'd do that?
Yeah, I'd love to help.
Thank you, Charlotte.
You really are the sweetest.
Anyone would do it, really.
And send.
Hey, Mal, what's up?
I got some bad news.
I debated even telling you.
What happened?
It's Doug.
Is he okay?
Oh yeah he's fine, it's just,
he has a new girlfriend.
What?
Yeah, he brought her to Sasha's gala the other night.
It was their "coming out" event.
Apparently they've been dating for a few weeks already.
But we only broke up three weeks ago.
And I'm not even sure our wedding is fully cancelled yet.
I'm sorry, Charlotte.
Who is she, do-do-do I know her?
What's her age?
She's your age, minus 10 years.
Is she pretty?
Only if you like traditionally pleasing
and symmetrical features, then yeah.
Oh.
This is awful.
And debuting her at my best friend's gala?
What was he thinking?
I know, he's not thinking.
No.
No, he's certainly not thinking about me.
I'm sorry, Charlotte.
I wish I can be with you right now.
Are you sure you're gonna be okay?
Yeah, I'll be fine.
I'll just fish my sorrows away.
I love you, get some sleep, okay?
I love you too.
Gah!
Grr!
If I may offer a small note.
Is everything okay?
No, no, everything's not okay.
Not okay at all.
What's going on?
You wouldn't wanna hear about it.
What if I do?
It's about my ex-fiancee.
The one you dumped?
How do you know about that?
I may have read the Daily article.
Yeah, that one.
Well, he's got a new girlfriend.
Oh.
And he went public with her
at my best friend's charity event.
I see.
Well, I mean, you don't wanna be with a guy like that anyway,
right?
No.
No, you're right, I-
I just wish he hadn't been so hurtful.
Yeah, I know what you mean.
Yeah, I know you do.
I'm sorry.
Is there anything I can do?
Do you want me to beat him up or anything?
I can do that if you need.
I'll beat the heck out of him.
No, it's okay.
Thank you for listening.
Yeah, of course.
That's what friends are for, right?
Yeah.
There's also something else.
What is it?
My publisher wants me to go back to Chicago
just-just for the weekend to discuss the book.
I tried to get out of it but she insisted.
Is everything okay?
Oh, yeah, no, she loves the pages.
She just wants to talk about marketing.
Oh, it's great.
Yeah.
Do you wanna come with me?
To Chicago?
Yeah, maybe you could see your dad
and we can get Mike and Tina to join us.
We can have a little fun, a nice meal.
I just wanna thank you guys
for taking such good care of me
and making me feel included.
Isn't leaving the wilderness against the rules
for your little project?
I won't tell if you won't.
Hey, I ain't no snitch.
Yeah, you're probably right.
Mike and Tina could use a break
and I am due to check in on my dad.
So we're settled then?
Wow.
You live here?
It's like a museum.
Where's all your stuff?
It's called minimalism, Mike,
it's meant to look empty.
Why don't you guys bring your things upstairs
to the guest bedroom.
I have a very busy day for you,
full of relaxing.
And I made a reservation
at my favorite restaurant, The French.
Sounds fancy.
I didn't bring a fancy outfit.
I actually don't own a fancy outfit.
Yeah, I'm not sure I have the right clothes either.
No worries, I anticipated this.

Oh wow, Charlotte,
what a day, thank you.
And that massage,
it was more relaxing than a midnight row
down the Minnesota River.
I can't believe how stressed I was.
Well, you all deserve it, you work so hard.
Thanks Charlotte, you're so sweet.
Well I have to go meet my publisher.
Are you guys okay on your own for a little bit?
Yeah, I think I'll go see my dad.
I'm gonna go hit your pool
because I can't believe you have one.
And I'm going to have a nap
and try on that pink dress.
Ooh. -Oh.
Yes, take all the pictures.
Great, I'll meet you back here at seven p.m.
Bye.
I love it.
I think we have a hit on our hands.
Really? -Oh, that's great news.
Oh, um, here are some photos.
I-I think it'd be fun to include these.
Just disregard the ones from today.
Oh!
Who's this?
Jane like.
That's Rob, my guide.
Not much about him in the book.
What's his story?
He's just very private.
He went through a breakup recently.
He was engaged actually.
Really?
Yeah, yeah, she broke it off.
Weirdly, she's a financial broker in New York now.
But like I said, he is very private
and does not wanna be in the book.
Sure, okay, well, uh, send me these pics, okay?
I wanna get them to marketing.
Sure thing.
Ooh, and your agent wants to read a few pages,
get those networks interested again.
Absolutely.
Yes!
I can't believe you let her style your hair like that.
You clean up well.
You like this girl.
No, I don't, no.
Don't lie to me, son.
I'm not lying.
We're just-
We're just friends, that's all.
Friends? - Yeah.
Just go for it.
A little help here?
I'm with him.
You look happy.
I say go for it.
You can't stay walled up forever, Rob.
Open up,
stop being so stubborn.
Hey, I got a suit, that's a start, isn't it?
A suit?
What do you need that for?
Ah, we're going to some place called The French tonight.
The French, oooh.
You guys look phenomenal.
You're our stylist.
So do you.
I feel a little exposed, but-
when in Chicago, right?
You look beautiful.
Well, shall we?
Yes.
Let me just fix this.
There you go. -Thank you.
Whoa, I'll get that.
Oh, thank you.
And I'll have the steak, thank you.
I think that, um,
Mike and I are gonna go up front of the restaurant
and take some photos.
The flowers are so beautiful.
We have flowers at home, sweetie.
Not like this we don't.
See you soon .
Hurry back now.
We will.
Come on, sweetie
And then there were two.
Indeed there were.
How's your dad?
Well he's stubborn as ever but I think he's doing better.
Good. -Yeah.
How was your meeting?
Oh, it was great. - Yeah?
I can't tell yet
but I think they wanna turn it into a TV show.
Charlotte?
Hey!
I didn't expect to see you here.
I thought you moved out to the boonies.
Doug.
What a surprise.
Hi, I'm Lara.
I'm a huge fan of your books.
I have been ever since I was little
and found one on my mom's nightstand.
Thanks.
And you are?
Oh I'm Rob, her boyfriend.
Oh.
I didn't realize you had a boyfriend.
Well I do.
This guy.
So what do you do?
Well I am a -
A prince.
I'm-I'm sorry.
A what?
A prince, yeah, yeah.
In, uh, Norway.
Yes. - Mhm.
Wow.
So cool. I know, right?
Yay.
Yes, well, um, it was so nice to see you Doug, Lara.
Now if you don't mind,
we have to go speak to his sister outside.
The Queen.
Wouldn't wanna be late for that would we now.
Off with their heads it would be.
Of course.
Don't let us keep you.
It was, uh, really good to see you.
You too, Dougie.
Hey, it's Doug.
Sure.
It was so nice meeting you.
Let's get together sometime.
Sure thing, Lara.
Go.
Thank you.
Oh my god!
A prince, did you see the look on his face?
Was it over the top? I kinda panicked.
No, no. - Okay.
No, it was great, thank you. -Okay.
You're welcome.
I've never seen that mischievous side of you before.
I like it.
Yeah well, I'm loyal to my people.
I'm your people?
You know what I mean.
Well these two seem to be having fun.
Yeah.
Tina hasn't gotten on my case once about dating
since we've been here.
I heard about your engagement.
I'm sorry.
Ah, whatever, it's fine.
No it's not fine, it's devastating.
I should know.
Honestly, I-
I haven't been totally truthful about that.
About breaking up the engagement.
What do you mean?
Um, the truth is,
Doug broke up with me.
He blindsided me.
And I've just been pretending that it's the other way around.
I'm sorry.
It's just so humiliating.
Especially when you're a public figure.
I'm supposed to be a relationship expert.
It's okay not to be perfect, you know.
You're human, you're not a robot.
Yeah, I know.
Can I tell you a secret?
What's that?
It kind of makes you more relatable.
Really?
Yeah, you can be a little intimidating.
So can you!
What?
You know, Tina's right,
you should, you know, get back out there
and start dating again.
Stop spending every night alone.
Put myself out there and start dating, huh?
Yeah. - Yeah?
What have you got to lose?
Oh.
They're pouring our champagne.
Great.
We should go, don't wanna miss the first course.
Right.
My lady. -Thank you.
And my gentleman.
Thank you so much for inviting us
to the city, Charlotte.
I can't remember the last time we had so much fun.
Oh, I'm so glad you guys came.
It was nice to show you my world for a little bit,
since you were so kind to show me yours.
All right, see you inside.
I should get back to my dad.
Flight's at noon tomorrow?
Yes.
See you here at 10? -Sounds good.
Uh, thank you again for pretending to be my boyfriend.
It was really nice of you.
No problem.
I had fun.
Good.
Good night.
Okay, you guys hungry?
I could eat.
Ah, I-I'm sorry, I should have bought food.
I'm not used to having guests over.
It's fine, really, we'll go explore the neighborhood.
Yeah, we'll, uh, do brunch.
Oh, just one second.
Hey Mal, what's up?
I have some exciting news!
Go on.
Your publisher slipped a copy of your pages to a network exec,
he loved it.
Are you serious?
Yeah, he's interested in a TV show.
No, the show is back on?
Yeah well, with a different spin.
Anyway, I set up a meeting for 10 a.m. back at The French.
Can you make it?
Yeah, yeah, it's a little tight with my flight
but I'll make it work.
Okay, great.
Thank you.
Good news?
I think so.
I have to take a meeting.
Are you guys okay on your own?
Of course. -Get out of here, we'll be fine.
Okay, um, I will meet you guys at the airport.
My keys.
Don't wait for me. -Okay.
Good luck.
The book sounds brilliant.
Guaranteed bestseller,
it'll totally wash away the stink of that last one.
Oh, thanks.
Now let's talk TV.
Yes, I was thinking a fun tie-in to the book
would be a show where I take people to the wilderness
and teach them survival skills that they don't have.
Forget that.
Your publisher showed me those before and after photos
of those lumberjacks.
From plaid to fab.
And that chunky woman in the dress, incredible.
I think there's a real show there.
Are-are you talking about Tina?
You travel to those rural remote areas,
you find these hopelessly single men and women
who have no idea how to dress themselves,
no idea how to eat at a dinner party,
no culture, no class, et cetera.
You get them cleaned up,
you teach them some manners and voila!
You turn them into catches.
I don't know,
that kinda sounds mean.
Your publisher mentioned that guide of yours, Rob,
I think his name is.
His fiancee dumped him to be a banker in New York.
He should be our first experiment.
Like maybe if he knew how to carry himself,
he wouldn't have been dumped, right?
That's not what happened.
I'll have my agent send over the contract.
I think you'll like the terms.
I gotta go, I gotta catch a flight back to LA.
I'm really looking forward to working with you, Charlotte.
I-
Charlotte?
Hi!
Oh, Sasha!
It's so nice to see you.
Congrats on your benefit last week.
You must have raised so much money.
Most of it went to pay the caterers
but we'll give the charity a nice little sum.
Hey, did you get my email
with the GoFundMe for my friends in Minnesota?
They got robbed and they can't afford-
Send it to my assistant.
I never check my own emails anymore.
Oh!
Well, do you wanna hear more about it or?
If it's important to you, it is important to me.
I'll make a donation from my foundation,
AKA the tax haven.
Right.
Oh, I almost forgot.
I got you a little something.
Ooh, I love gifts.
Isn't it cute?
I got it in a little store in Minnesota.
Aw, how sweet, it's tiny.
Oh wait, this is a joke, right?
Oh, you're too funny, Charlotte, this is hysterical.
No, no, it's not a joke.
Come back soon, okay?
I miss you and your sense of humor.
Bye.
The air is so fresh here.
I can really notice it now.
Ah, it was fun to be in the city
but it's good to be back.
Okay everyone, quiet please.
What's this all about?
I have an announcement to make.
Thanks to the generosity of everyone here,
and also some people who aren't here,
I wanted to announce
that we have reached our 30,000 dollar goal
for the new canoes.
What?
You're joking, already?
And there's more pouring in by the day.
Well, we'll give the rest to charity.
Thanks, Charlotte.
I don't know how we'll ever repay you.
Ah, don't worry about it.
You've done more for me than you know.
That's what friends are for, right?
That's what friends are for.
You know I don't think I properly thanked you
for being my guide.
The whole deal felt a little transactional at the time.
There is no need to thank me.
This book is paying for my dad's surgery.
It should be me thanking you.
But still, it's taking you away from your guide duties.
Believe me, I'm happy to take a break from those.
You don't like being a guide?
Sometimes.
But honestly we get a lot of jerks up here.
They don't respect the land,
they don't respect the animals.
They certainly don't respect us.
Sometimes I just feel like a babysitter for rich people.
I'm sorry.
It's okay. -I didn't mean you.
I know, I know, it's okay.
Honestly, teaching you one-on-one has been great.
You're so focused and you're serious about learning.
Half the time we get groups up here,
they treat it like a joke or an Instagram opportunity.
Maybe you could change the business model.
Only teach people one-on-one
or only teach people who are really serious
about this kind of stuff.
The problem is,
the groups bring in all the money.
I mean I only live simply here but I gotta eat.
Yeah, no I-I get it.
Anyways, I'll figure it out.
Right now I need to focus on you.
Only a few more days until our big excursion.
Ah, a week in the wilderness.
Do you think I'll make it?
I think you're gonna be fine.
Plus Tina and Mike will be there
to make sure we don't screw up, so.
So what else do I need to learn?
When starting a fire, take your stick,
place it on the dry wood here.
Here you go, like so.
All the way down.
Okay, let me try.
Ooh. -There you go.
It's hard.
I know.
This is hard, it burns my hand.
Luckily I've got these.
Okay.
There you go. -It's working.
You started your first fire.
Yay!
Go.
Oh!
That is unfair!
Oh come on, come on!
You ready for this, you ready for this?
Ah, yes!
No, it doesn't count.
You're disqualified. -I am the champion!
You can't push your opponents over.
Show me your moves.
Come on!
Will you dance with me?
I don't know,
I think Mike needs my help behind the bar.
I'm fine.
No excuses.
Come on.
Okay.
You old man.
Come on, show me your dance moves.
Yeah?
Is that good?
Oh.
Oh we don't have to.
No, come on, let's dance.
Look at these two over here.
I can't believe this whole thing is almost over.
Yeah.
You must be looking forward to getting back.
Yeah.
Guess I'm excited to go back.
I'll miss you around here.
I'll miss you guys too.
And this beautiful place.
I know Tina really likes you.
She's, um-
She's really enjoyed having you around.
I like Tina too.
are dirty some
Well I- -Yeah.
Better get back to, uh- -Same.
Okay.
Tina.
What's up?
What are you doing?
What do you mean?
You like her.
Who?
And you may even love her.
Hey, will you keep your voice down?
What are you gonna do about it?
It's complicated, Tina.
She lives in Chicago for crying out loud.
I haven't seen you this happy in a long time.
And Charlotte's a good woman.
I know that.
But it doesn't change the facts.
You have been making excuses time and time again.
Look, I know you've been hurt.
And I know it's been hard.
But are you really gonna let a good woman go
because your heart has been hardened by a person
who didn't deserve it in the first place?
She leaves in a week.
And since Mike and I are going on this trip,
you really only have tomorrow left with her.
So.
What you gonna do?
Oh boy.
Hi.
You're up early.
I'm just enjoying the view.
I was trying to get some work done but
I can't stop looking at this beauty.
I can't believe you wake up to this every day.
Yeah, and it never gets old either.
I didn't think I was gonna see you
until later today.
Uh, you're not, really, um-
I just came by to see what you were doing tonight.
What we do every night, go to the watering hole.
What if we did something a little different?
Sure, what are you thinking?
Well, um...
It's a surprise.
Ooh.
Meet me at the lake,
at the drop in point, sunset.
What are we doing?
I just said, it's a surprise.
Oh, okay, okay.
I will see you then.
Good, good, okay.
I'll-I'll let you get back to your work.
Oh, yes.
Very important.
Yeah.
All right, uh, see you later.
What's all this?
Oh, um, just thought we could enjoy the sunset.
Just the two of us?
If that's okay.
Yeah, that's lovely.
Okay.
Um, right this way.
Okay.
Wow.
Oh, thank you.
You good?
Okay.
Ready? -Yeah.
So what's the occasion?
Oh, um...
Well it's our-
it's our last night in civilization for a while
so I just thought we could make it special.
That's very sweet, thank you.
Sure.
Are you okay?
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, I'm totally fine.
Okay. - Yeah.
Okay good.
Well the truth is, um-
Yes?
Well, what I wanted to say was-
Go on.
I like you.
And I have for a while.
I know I misjudged you and I'm so sorry.
Here I thought you were this prissy,
stuck-up, materialistic, rich-
Okay, I-I get it Rob, thank you.
But...
You turned out to be the most kind,
thoughtful,
well-meaning woman I've ever met.
I know you live in Chicago and I, I live out here, but,
I just couldn't let you leave here
without telling you how I felt because
if I did then I would have regretted it
for the rest of my life.
Did I blow it?
I-I said too much, didn't I,
I'm so sorry. -No, no, no.
Hey, hey, hey. -If you don't feel it's-
I like you too.
on a crooked line
space and time
I've been thinking of
are hit and miss
can't be fixed
I've been thinking of
The picnic was lovely, thank you.
Well, Tina helped me plan it.
Tina's a good friend.
Don't I know it.
I should probably go in.
Yeah, yeah.
Um, I'll see you tomorrow, bright and early.
Bright and early.
Good night.
been thinking of
of the world and
my love
like the evening sun
like the stars in broken ones
Charlotte, I know what you're gonna say.
I just got a pitch from the network.
What is this? It's horrible!
I know, I got the same email too.
It's disgusting.
Where did they even get that information?
I asked Jane to send over a synopsis of the whole book.
She must have editorialized on your notes.
Well this is awful and offensive.
I would never say these things.
Mal, these people are my friends
and-and Rob is...
Rob is my friend too.
I'm not doing this show.
Yeah, of course not.
I will shut it down ASAP, tell them you're out.
I prefer your version anyway.
Thanks, Mal.
Of course.
Get some sleep and don't worry about this at all, okay?
You got a big trip in the morning.
You need to rest.
I will
I can't wait to see you.
I have so much to tell you.
Me too.
Good night.
Night.
What is wrong with these people?
Ooh, something smells amazing in here.
Good morning.
What?
Well look who finally decided to start cooking.
Well, I woke up early this morning to work on my book,
and I was hungry,
so I thought I'd make you guys a little something.
I actually forgot how fun it is to cook.
Anyway, eat up, I will finish packing.
Thank you.
I am starving.
Look at this!
What's this?
Is that me?
Oh, this must be for the book, this is so exciting!
Overweight and mannish?
What?
What is that?
College dropout.
Can't afford the canoes for his own business?
I don't understand,
I thought she wanted to help us.
What are you guys looking at?
It's a contract for the show she's pitching.
Looks like you're the pilot episode.
What?
Uneducated Lumberjack?
Are you kidding me?
Fiancé left him because he wasn't successful enough.
Is this what she actually thinks of us?
Looks like she's been using us
to pitch a show this whole time.
I gotta go.
Ah, Tina, wait.
Alrighty friends,
who's ready for a little surviving?
Where's Mike and Tina?
What's wrong?
Oh my god,
that's not what it looks like.
I can't believe I fell for it.
Rob, no, you-you don't understand.
That's not-
You were just using us this whole time, weren't you?
No, I wasn't.
Rob, please, just let me explain.
And here I thought what we had was real.
It was, it-it is!
I was just a project for you, wasn't I?
Just a commodity for you to sell
like everything else in your life.
'Cause that's the world you live in, right?
Everything's for sale, everything's disposable.
I didn't write that, Rob.
You're not a project to me.
I guess you are just a superficial,
fame-hungry perfectionist after all.
Wow.
You are a terrible listener. - Oh yeah?
And you know what,
at least I can say one true thing in this world,
unlike you who can't even say you like me
without having a heart attack.
Well don't worry because I don't like you anymore.
Fine!
I don't like you either!
Great! Oh-
And by the way in case it wasn't obvious,
the trip is off.
You can keep your money.
I'll figure something else out.
Rob, wait!
I didn't mean that!
Mike!
I didn't write any of that stuff.
And I don't condone it, please, believe me.
Have you seen Tina?
I don't think she wants to talk to you.
Please, I can explain.
She's very busy, Charlotte.
I'm busy!
Being fat and mannish!
I think you should go.
Rob?
Rob.
Please just open the door.
I-I-I need to explain.
Just let me in, okay?
I'm so sorry for what I said earlier.
I overreacted.
I was just frustrated because
I've been trying to tell you that
it's the network who wrote those things, not me.
And I-I turned down the show.
I would never say those things about you guys.
If you-
If you could just let me in
and I would explain everything and you'd understand.
It's fine, Charlotte, I forgive you.
Then why won't you let me in?
I think you should just go back home, okay?
You and me, we live in different worlds.
It was never gonna work out anyway.
You're a nice girl, Charlotte.
But I think you should just go back to Chicago.
Go back to your life.
I've got some things I need to do here, okay?
Goodbye, Charlotte.
I'm sorry you're hurting, Char,
but I don't really understand why you're getting rid
of all your stuff.
Well I just don't know why I bought all this expensive junk.
I mean, who needs fourteen scarves?
It's insane!
Are you sure you wanna do that?
I mean, this was expensive.
You keep them.
What's up with you?
Why are you so happy?
I'm not happy.
No.
You look like you're on cloud nine,
like you just met the love of your life.
Wait, did you just meet the love of your life?
Maybe.
Mal, that's great!
Tell me about him.
No, we-we don't have to talk about him.
No, I want to.
Don't hide your happiness because my life's a mess.
It's just, it's Ben, Rob's brother.
Oh.
Yeah, he found me on Facebook after that night at the Finley.
I'm sorry.
No, it's great.
Ben's great.
I'm really happy for you.
Really?
Yes, really.
You deserve it.
Do you want this?
Maybe.
I can't control the wildlife, sir,
but we did see a moose and a bald eagle.
You know what,
you should try joining one of our one week long excursions.
I can't guarantee that you'll see a bear
but it-it-it has happened!
You know what?
You, you don't deserve to see a bear.
You'll probably get yourself killed if you did.
And you know what else,
I don't care if you pay.
I don't care if any of you pay.
'Cause I quit.
Rob Wilson, everyone.
Just practicing his stand-up set for later.
He's not very funny.
And yeah, you have to pay.
How can I help you, ma'am?
I don't understand.
Why would you send that terrible synopsis
to the TV executive?
It's not even what the book is about.
Isn't it?
I'm sorry, Charlotte, but I'm genuinely surprised
by your reaction.
That's what I got from the pages.
I never called them names.
I never mocked them.
No, you didn't use those terms
but it's pretty clear you felt your way of life
was the correct way and theirs was crazy.
These people have taught me some of the most amazing things.
How to live life simply,
how to cook a fish I caught.
They taught me how to be less superficial
and how to just let go of that need to be admired.
How to survive without barely any belongings
and how to love deeply and unconditionally.
Then that's what you need to write about.
on more than words
of other things
different about this thing
in other places
things to say
leaps and beats
beats for me
acting differently
seen when to speak
little dancing fools
talk about it
leaps and beats
I love it.
Really?
Really.
And you know you never have to be perfect
around me, right?
Yeah I know.
Aw, come here.
Thank you.
I love you and all of your failures.
All of them?
Every single one.
I haven't had that many.
Is there a specific one you're referring to or?
Wow, you did it.
You read the book?
I skimmed it.
You gonna reach out?
Hmm.
Wanna know what I think?
What's that?
I think she loves you.
And I think you love her too.
Oh yeah?
Yeah.
And I think you should go get her
and bring her back home.
You know what I think? - Mm?
I think you're probably right.
I guess I'm going to Chicago.
Go get her, tiger.
I know you're upset about Rob, Charlotte,
but it really is for the best.
What makes you say that?
Rob's the kind of guy you date in college
when things are fun and light
and you're looking for a piece of eye candy on your arm.
But he's not the kind of guy you marry.
Why not?
I mean,
what's the going rate for a canoe instructor these days,
like seven dollars an hour?
Please, you wouldn't be caught dead
marrying a guy like him.
You know what?
A guy like him has more class than you'll ever have.
Excuse me?
You heard me.
I'd be lucky to marry a guy like him
but you wouldn't know that because you're so shallow.
Hey!
What am I even doing here?
I need to find Rob.
Okay, looks like there's one seat left
on the next flight to Chicago.
It's a little bit pricy 'cause it's so last minute.
Just book it.
I'll pay you back, okay?
Done.
Okay.
Thank you, Tina.
I really owe you one.
No problem.
Wish me luck.
Good luck.
Ooh!
Do you think I could get a ride?
Well, sure.
Come on, let's go get your girl.
Thank you.
So the Watering Hole is right here
and then the cabins,
are just down this way.
Want me to drive?
No, I'll drive.
Charlotte?
Rob.
Here. -Yeah.
Can you hold this?
Charlotte!
Rob.
What are you doing here?
I had to see you.
I was just coming to see you.
I have been, I'm so sorry, I've been such a jerk.
Oh no, I've been the jerk.
I should have never let you leave.
Hi. -Hi.
I'm Tina. -I'm Mallory.
Nice to meet you. -Nice to meet you.
I read your book.
What'd you think?
I thought it was incredible.
It was so honest and raw and-
I love you so much.
More than I've ever loved anyone in my whole life
and I wanna be with you and
I'll shout it to anyone who cares to hear it out.
I love you too.
I know you live in Chicago and I'm here,
but maybe if we-
My heart.
Why don't we split our time in both places?
I don't care.
As long as we can be together.
Sorry. -No worries.
Everything okay?
Ah, yeah.
Um, guys, hey, yeah, sorry to interrupt.
I just got an email from a different network.
They're interested in a show
but more like the one you originally pitched.
Seriously?
Yeah.
I'll only do it on one condition.
Take your hands,
rub them together like that.
Try to get some nice friction on that log.
That's great.
You're doing great, stay at it.
How's it going with that tent over there, Charlotte?
Wow, this is super exciting, isn't it?
To be honest, Rob, not great.
Not great at all.
Yeah, not looking too good.
By the way,
when all else fails,
use matches.
Just make sure you keep 'em in a dry bag.
Oh, hello.
Hi.
How are we?
on your back
doors I will not crack
so you would know
