[radio DJ] Hey, New York, what's good?
It's your boy DJ Teddy P, and listen,
I'm hearin' some things.
I'm hearin' that there might be a super-exclusive listening party
for the new Cre album tonight.
Now, I don't know when or where it is, but if it's Cre, you know it'll be hot.
So if his people don't call me soon with the invite,
I might have to leak this track that just got sent to me.
You already know what time it is.
Yo, Cre! Hit me up! Ha-ha!
[female voice] Yes!
Fabulous!
Okay, these two pair of lashes are weighing down my lids.
Shh. Okay. Now, tilt to the side.
-Okay. -Yes.
-Now sultry, but with a holding. -Okay.
Yes. Yes!
-Okay, we're done. I got it. -Okay. We good?
This is a perfect last-Countdown-to-Epic-Music post.
Oh my gosh, I'm so nervous. My hands are shaking.
Erica, when has anyone ever not liked a Cre album?
[sighs] I know.
The man is a musical genius,
which is why he picked you to sing on these tracks.
-After tonight's listening party… -Yes.
…and the release of his album, your life will never be the same.
Mm-hmm, mm-hmm. Yes, and I cannot wait for you to hear it.
Because, girl… [inhales] …I killed it.
Of course, you did! Now grab your purse.
Oh, wait. Oh, is that a snag?
-[Erica gasps] -[beads rattle]
Amber! [gasps]
No!
[sighs]
You really don't have anything else to wear.
I put everything in storage when I came to crash with you.
Why isn't this in storage?
-Just leave it. -No.
No, seriously, come on, girl. Put it back.
-We can make this work. -You're not cutting up my wedding dress.
Okay, you are never going to wear this.
-And Jason is never coming back. -[sighs]
So, really, we're just making lemonade out of relationship trauma lemons.
What's it gonna be?

Congrats, superstar.
-Thank you, girl. -Yeah.
If it wasn't for you getting all the right people
to repost my little Insta videos, I wouldn't even be on Cre's radar.
-Thank you. -[squeals]

Y'all ready to listen?
-[crowd] Yeah! -Whoo!
Good.
'Cause I want y'all to hear me when I say
I'm tired of being ripped off!
Last time someone stole my work and leaked one of my tracks online,
what did I say?
Huh?
This is my last album,
but no one's ever gonna hear it
because this world doesn't deserve it!

But this… [sobs] …this is not a dream.
No, this is… [sobs] …this is a nightmare!
No.
He's gonna have to release the album. The record label's gonna make him.
He is the label.
He owns it.

[sniffles] …to a nice man, Jason.
But he left to Charleston,
and I didn't go with him.
You know, he was a banker.
And he used to make these rice bowls,
and I just never made it home on time to eat them,
and then he called off the wedding.
And he took the rice maker.
[whimpering] I don't have any more rice.
Come on.
Look at me wearing my wedding dress.
And they were singing my wedding song.

Erica?
-[applauding] -[Amber] Erica?
That is not healthy.
What's the last time you went outside?
Outside costs money for one.
And B… [grunts]
…red wine is full of antioxidants, so it's practically like a smoothie.
-Not really. -[groans]
Or at least a green juice, except it's purple.
Okay, look, I know it's been a tough couple of months,
but that is all about to change
because you're going to a tropical paradise!
Feast your eyes on the Mer de Saphir Resort
on the truly, stupidly gorgeous island of Mauritius.
I'm doing the social media for them,
and the point person mentioned they were looking for entertainers.
So, I sent him your Instagram, and he said, "When can she get here?"
Okay, where's Mauritius?
It's 700 miles east of Madagascar.
And look at the Jolly Rancher blue ocean.
Hmm, it's beautiful.
Mm-hmm.
And really, Amber, thank you so much for always putting me on.
But this is one step up from singing on a cruise ship.
What is that supposed to mean?
It means I haven't been grinding my whole life,
chasing my dreams of making my own music,
so I can sing cover songs in the hotel lobby.
It means I didn't lose a fiancé to become a lounge singer.
It also means I didn't risk everything, and I mean everything--
-Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. -What? Like to be a karaoke singer?
-Who am I? -Okay. Okay.
I see you ramping up, but let me stop you.
You didn't lose a fiancé.
He lost you by moving to Charleston for some boring VP job
in finance or whatever.
It's just seasonal.
Four months and you are back here in New York.
-Mm-mm. -I think you should consider this.
Because I'm worried if you don't do something,
you may never shake this funk off of you.
Who do you see yourself as?
Someone who fuses into the couch,
or someone who's ready to take another leap?

[female announcer speaking French]
-[in Australian accent] Erica Wilson? -Yes. Barrington?
At your service.
Welcome to Mauritius!
["Kifer to Pale Danse" by Jason Heerah and Otentik Groove playing]
[singing in Mauritian Creole]
I was just getting some band stuff before, uh, before I got you.
-Oh good. -Yeah.
But, um, well, I'm in the band, your band.
-Oh? -Yeah, yeah.
-Okay. Nice. -Guitars.
-Cool. -Uh, I'm also the, um, shuttle driver,
turtle wrangler, craft cocktail chemist.
-Yeah. -Um, among other things.
Okay, uh, they're…
they're only expecting me to sing here. Right?
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I pick up the extra jobs 'cause I'm saving to buy a house.
-[Erica] Oh? -Yeah.
I came here a few years ago and, um…
fell in love.
Wow, my gosh. Look at that.
I can see why. I mean, If you can wake up to this every day forever, why not?
Yeah, the island's beautiful, but I was talking about my girlfriend.
Ooh.
Well, she's from here and never wants to leave her home.
Oh, that's cool,
staying here for her.
[song continues]
[song fades]
Incoming.
[in French accent] Hello, Erica. I'm Claire.
I'm sure Barrington's brought you up to speed with arrival procedures.
Why don't you follow me, and I'll give you a little tour.
She'll be in cabana 78.
Make sure her luggage gets there, and Barrington,
remove your vehicle.
And don't be late for rehearsal.
As you know, we are a five-star resort,
and service adds brilliance to those stars.
Are you prepared to be brilliant?
And here, we have the main pool.
[Erica] Whoa! Wow! It's so still and pristine.
I just wanna jump into it.
You like to disturb what is pristine?
Well, you can't. The pool is off-limits to employees.
Well, then, where do we go swimming?
The beach. Oh, but not the beach in front of the resort.
There's a public beach two miles up.
-[leaves rustle] -[screams]
What is it?
-[grunts] -[chirps]
Oh, it's just a gecko. They're all over the island.
They're harmless. It's like a small dinosaur.
And Erica, please, no more screaming. Only guests get to scream.
-[footsteps receding] -[chirps]
Hello, boys, meet Erica.
-Travis. Wayne, also in the band. -Hi.
-And then, of course, you know Barrington. -Yes.
Your sets are from 7:00 to 11:00 p.m. every night
and 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. on weekends, unless there's a wedding.
-Oh, who sings if there's a wedding? -You do.
[chuckles] Wait, I mean, no one told me I'd be singing at weddings.
If singing at a wedding is a problem for you, I can organize flight options,
and you can make your own way back to New York at your own expense.
[chuckles]
[sighs]
Seriously? I'm supposed to take a leap and move on from a failed singing career
and a failed engagement to be a wedding singer?
What?
You knew.
It was hard to spin, so…
-It-- [grunts] Amber! -Okay, but-- but think of it this way.
You're facing your demons, which is good.
[scoffs] Oh yeah. I am facing one right now.
Okay, okay, but how's the island?
[sighs] I mean, well, it's beautiful, and the air is wonderful,
and my sinuses are finally clear after five years,
but I'm about to get on stage and sing for people who are in love.
Erica! Erica! Look into the camera.
You cannot let what happened with Jason ruin the rest of your life.
And you certainly can't let him ruin you on love.

We'd like to invite Stephanie and David to the dance floor
for their first dance as husband and wife.

Yeah, and a drink too.
You know, I read about this coconut water-rum thing.
How are you so calm?
That man almost drowned. I almost drowned.
I was just lucky I saw you and could help out a bit.
You were so brave just running out there with no training.
[chuckles]
Yeah? Well, you ran out there, too.
Do you have any training?
US military, Special Forces.
-Retired. -[chuckles]
[in a deep voice] When you say it that way… [laughs]
Okay. All right.
-Well, I guess that makes, uh, more sense. -Caleb.
-I-- Erica. -[laughs]
Nice to meet you.
So, are you here on vacation alone?
Uh, not quite a vacation. I'm here for my brother's wedding.
And I could finally make a family function after a while. So, here I am.
[Erica] Nice.
And you? I mean, what, a fisher or amateur lifeguard?
[laughs]
No, I'm here singing at a resort.
-Oh? -Yeah.
-A singer? -Yes.
Wow, that's cool.
-A spy. Well, that's cooler. -[laughs]
No, not a spy, just muscle for the spies.
Ah, okay. Well, spy security.
-Security for the spies. Yes. -I like that.
Yes.
So, do you
wanna join me for that coconut-rum drink thing?
Um, I actually have to-- I gotta get to work soon.
Oh, okay. Um, well, I would love to check on you.
Gotta make sure that you're okay after your underwater aquatic rescue mission.
You know, it's a really small island.
I'm sure we will bump into each other.
-[Barrington] Hey. -Hey.
You're back early. Isn't it your night off?
It is.
And it was a weird day, but then I met someone I really liked.
-[gasps] -And then I bailed on him.
Oh, Erica.
Oh, he was a tourist or a spy. Uh, it's all good.
Oh, a spy.
No. Either way,
I probably would've never heard from him again. Yeah.
Wha--

Of course. [splutters]
I mean, not just… you're not just running around looking for me.
Actually, I was gonna call every hotel in town
asking if they had a singer named Erica.
No, you weren't.
I would have found you.
Oh, and right there is the happy couple now.
[chuckles]
Oh, wow, you are very strong.
Wait, you're Caleb King?
-What? How do you-- -[spluttering]
Jason mentioned his military brother for years, but we never met.
You're that Erica?
Jason's Erica?
Not anymore.
Yo, Caleb! We're taking the tour?
Ooh, you can bring your little friend if you want-- Oh my God.
What-- What are you doing? She can't be here. What--
-Hello Christian. -She works here.
-No. -[Caleb] Yes.
-Yeah. I work here. -Yeah.
-[Erica] Yeah. -Uh-huh.
And the gift bags are stored where?
The gift bags are stored in a staging area--
Baby, they have it handled. It's true.
Oh, and here comes my sister.
…down-home southern lady. So when I say 100% of the packaging
needs to be re-plantable seedlings, I mean it.
All right, bye. Okay, what's the next leg of the tour?
-We are waiting on the rest of your party. -Oh, they're right over there.
With…
Erica?
Yes. Erica. She will be singing at your wedding.
Oh my God.
-Baby, you're leaking papaya. -Oh.
[both chuckle]
Wait, how do-- how do you know the wedding singer?
We, uh…
We know Erica from New York.
What?
-Wait, what a small world. -[sister] No way.
-[bride] Look at you. -[Jason] Come on.
[bride chuckles]
Erica! [laughs nervously]
What a surprise.
Please don't say anything.
Hey, so, what are you doing here, so far away from where you normally are?
I-- I'm here singing. Um…
I think what brings you here is way more interesting.
[chuckles nervously]
-Uh, well, Erica, this is… -Yes, this is--
-I'm Beverly, Jason's fiancée. -Mm-hmm.
-Erica. -Nice to meet you.
-Uh-- -She and Jason--
-Yeah, we-- this, uh-- -You know each other from New York?
-Right. -Yeah. I see you know Christian, too.
Hmm.
-[chuckles] -We all used to live in the same building.
Yes! We got to know each other from, uh… [splutters] …when it was the club.
[Christian spluttering]
-[Jason] Yeah. Yeah. -A club?
-Yeah, it was a-- -Right, it wasn't really a dance club.
No. It was-- It was-- It was a-- It was a book club.
-Yeah. -[Christian] Yeah.
What luck running into Erica.
You don't often find employees in the lobby unless they are working.
It's such a treat that you're here.
I never get to meet Jason's friends, 'cause you guys are all up in New York.
And we've been so swamped. Can't get out of Charleston…
-[chuckles] -Oh, right. You moved to Charleston.
I was the first person he met when he moved there,
right across the hall from me.
Wow, first person, huh?
-Wasn't that, like, a year ago? -[chuckles nervously]
But didn't give you a lot of time to plan a wedding, huh?
-Ha! -No, he didn't. But I-- I don't need it.
We just wanted it to be really intimate. So, for me, that's me, my sister Janelle,
and, uh, Jason's parents are coming, a few of our friends,
but that's it. That's all we needed.
That is so sweet.
Hey, um, why don't you take, uh, Janelle to the spa,
and I'll come meet you for cell regeneration time.
-[Beverly] Thank you. -[both kiss]
Okay, okay, yes, it was so good to meet you.
Come on, Janelle, wanna show me your secret plans for the weekend?
-Okay, bye. Okay, bye. -Bye.
[Beverly giggles]
How could you?
[grunts] I can't believe you're getting married.
I can't believe you're here!
What are you even-- What are you doing here?
Amber does social media for this resort.
They needed a singer.
No wonder I kept gettin' ads about this place.
Wait. What happened with Cre and the album?
Cre scrapped it.
Someone leaked one of the tracks, and he just destroyed the whole thing,
along with my career.
Yeah, I'm sorry.
I didn't know.
Yeah, me too.
But if Beverly finds out we were engaged, it'll cause so many problems.
-So please just-- -Wait, she doesn't know?
[spluttering] I could-- I could never seem to find the right time.
You know, I guess it's never really a good time to tell your new fiancée
how you walked out on your old fiancée a month before the wedding.
Wait a minute. I didn't walk out on you, okay?
You walked out every single day to the studio.
And you know what? By the time the job offer came up in Charleston,
there wasn't a relationship to even walk out on.
What? So you leave without talking to me, and I'm the bad guy?
Listen, you were never there to--
-You know what? Rehashing this-- -[scoffs] Rehash?
[chuckles] Oh no. You know-- You know what? It was never hashed.
You were just gone.
Okay. [claps hands]
[chuckles]
I did not do 48 hours of therapy for this, okay?
-[inhales deeply] -Hmm.
-We're here for a few days. -Mm-hmm.
We can avoid each other. Easy.
Yeah, mm-hmm. Don't expect me to sing at your wedding.
Good. I don't. Tell 'em you're sick or something. Call in.
-I will gladly do that. -Well, good!
-But you won't tell Beverly, right? -[yells] Go, go, go, go!
[sighs]
-[Barrington] Morning. -[screams]
-Hi. -[sighs]
Did you just hear that?
[spluttering] There's an echo in here, so, uh, I heard it.
Twice.
I guess you know now why I hate weddings.
Erica, why didn't you just tell us?
[sighs]
I didn't want to relive it.
[Christian laughing]
-Does she really work here? -Dude, Amber does--
It's not funny, man!
-What are you gonna tell Beverly? -[Jason] Nothin'.
Beverly finds out I was engaged to Erica, she will lose it.
Okay, then, you gotta come clean. Look, if you get caught lyin'--
Okay, listen, I know you mean well,
but I don't need the Honor-Duty Captain America speech right now.
-Wow, Captain America? -Okay?
Wasn't Special Forces.
Ooh.
All I'm sayin'
is perfect honesty isn't always possible in 24-7 civilian life.
Hmm, yep.
And no one is expecting you to be perfect,
just honest.
And sometimes, keeping things to yourself is the best way to go.
[sighs]
Otherwise, I'll end up with two ex-fiancées.
I wonder if I should try for a wedding commission from the hotel
since they found it through me.
-Amber! -I'm sorry.
This is not about business.
Look, I'll-- I'll conveniently come down with a cold the day of his wedding.
In the meantime, we'll just avoid each other.
What? This is a good, sane plan.
Look, I gotta get ready for work.
It's a big resort. It can't be that hard.
Erica! Girl, hey! [chuckles]
Fancy runnin' into you.
Yes. [chuckles]
You know, it's-- it's too bad. I'm actually running late for, um…
The meeting about the music, the wedding music?
Right. That's right now.
-Yes, right now. -Yes, girl, come on. We'll go find Jason.
He's around here somewhere. It is such serendipity that you're here.
Yeah. That's definitely a word for it.
I gotta tell you. I-- I was so worried Jason was missing his life in New York,
so to have you here is just--
[gasps] Oh, wait, you should come hiking with us tomorrow.
Oh no. You know, I'm-- I'm not much of a hiker. I-- Bad arches.
Oh, no, girl, please. It'll be fun.
We usually discourage employees from fraternizing with the guests.
Resort rules. Right. Sorry.
But guest wishes always come first, and I would hate to put two friends apart.
Yes, thank you!
-We-- We're more like book club members. -No. Thank you.
Bonne journée, Erica.
[footsteps receding]
So, Beverly tells me you don't have your wedding song yet? Really?
Perhaps I can make a suggestion.
-Oh please. -Yeah?
Okay, great. How about "Unbreak My Heart" by Toni Braxton.
-Uh, for a wedding? -Mm. Mm-hmm. Yep.
Or, what about "Irreplaceable" by Beyoncé?
[chuckles] Uh, girl, that's a breakup song.
Mm.
-I've always loved "Diamonds" by Rihanna. -Yeah!
-Mm. -Yeah, I like that.
Wait! Wait! You know what will be a really good one?
"No One" by Alicia Keys.
-Yeah. -[Jason] Yeah?
Why?
Well, when you first moved in across the hall from me,
you used to play that song on repeat,
and so loud. [chuckles]
I found myself humming it before I met you, which…
I don't know, feels like a sign.
-Does it? -Yeah.
'Cause, I kinda liked your first instinct, Rihanna, "Diamonds," better.
Aw, baby, you do?
-Yeah. -Mm.
[giggling] So sweet. Oh…
Yeah. Oh!
So we're settled. We got our wedding song. So, how many more of these we gotta pick?
Oh, do you mind if we, uh, pick the rest on the hike tomorrow?
-Need to get some rest. -Sure. Tomorrow's fine.
-Wait, what? What-- What do you mean? -Oh, I invited Erica to come hiking.
-You didn't? [chuckles] -[Beverly] Yeah, I did.
[jazz music playing]
[clicking]
Caleb.
[chuckles]
-Good morning. -Hi.
-It was quite a day yesterday, huh? -Mm, don't know what you're talkin' about.
[chuckles]
-[chuckles] -Did you tell Jason we met?
[sighs] Yeah, I figured I would…
-No, I didn't. -[whispering] Ah, yes.
Okay.
-Another thing to keep a secret. I got it. -[chuckles]
Hey, would you wanna take a walk later?
I've got, uh, wedding stuff now.
-Breakfast and a hike, but-- -I know. I'm actually headed there.
Beverly invited me.
Wow.
-You think that's a good idea? -[chuckles]
-No. -[laughs]
-Definitely not. -Okay.
[Beverly] I can't believe you live here.
You must wake up every day and pinch yourself.
I do. I do, but I'm still trying to get used to the lizards, though.
-We don't have those in the city. -Does proliferation have one "l" or two?
Uh, one.
Do you miss New York at all?
You know, I thought I would, but I don't mostly.
You know, there's nothing to really go back to.
Yeah, I blew a good thing back there, so…
Too many memories.
Uh, no, you didn't. Cre blew it by not releasing the album.
-Hmm. -[Beverly] Jason told me about that.
It's just awful.
Oh yeah, I mean, there's that, too, but I wasn't talking about my album.
-I was talking about my engagement. -[Beverly] Hmm.
[gags, coughs]
-You were engaged? -Hmm, I was, but…
My fiancé got a really great job offer in a small town,
and he wanted to settle down, have kids,
and I wasn't ready to walk away from my dreams of becoming a singer.
A woman should never have to give up on her dream for a man.
-And the right man won't make her. -Mm.
Jason supports me one hundred percent in my dreams.
Representing the great state of South Carolina in the US Congress.
Ooh, okay, you're running for Congress.
Eventually. Right now, I work in policy development for the city council.
Wow, that is amazing,
and with the support of your partner.
-[chuckles] -[Beverly] I am a lucky girl.
[both chuckle]
Yeah, I don't think he knew how important my dreams were to me.
-[Beverly] Hmm. -Or maybe he just didn't care.
Or maybe he thought your dreams were way more important than he was.
If he was the love of her life, he would have known.
Mm, that part.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Maybe. Maybe.
I don't know. [chuckles]
Wait. Do you still think he's the love of your life?
-[Barrington] Morning! -Ooh!
Who's ready for an adventure?
-I am. Y'all, let's go. Let's go. -Yep. Okay.
-[Beverly] Oh, okay. -That might be a bit warm.
[Janelle] Does it have any Wi-Fi there?
[Barrington] On the mountain? Uh, probably not.
[Janelle] Beverly, you didn't tell me…
[uplifting music playing]
[Beverly] Jason, look at this. Oh my gosh!
-It's even better than I thought. -And we're here.
All right, you guys are gonna love this rope bridge.
The views will make you just go, "Wow!"
All right? One hand on the guide cables at all times.
Okie smokie?
-Okie smokie. -[Barrington] Let's do it!
-Whoo! -Okay, we got it. You first.
[Beverly] Hope nobody's afraid of heights.
You sure about this?
Caleb, this isn't summer camp, huh. I'm a grown man.
All right.
-Whoo! Let's go. -Yeah, let's do it.
You can go on and follow Beverly.
Nah, you-- you go ahead. I'll pull up the rear.
You know, just in case a giant lizard comes for you.
[chuckles]
I'd like to see that.
[uplifting music playing]
[Barrington] Guys ready? All right, let's go.
Let's do it.
[indistinct chattering]
-[suspenseful music plays] -[sighs]
-[whispering] You got this, Jay. -[Christian] Whoo!
[indistinct chattering]
[creaking]
[Janelle] Whoo!
That was fun.
I can still feel the pendulum of gravity.
-[Janelle chuckles] -[gulping] Mm. Mm. Mm.
-Hey. -Hmm. What? I'm a little parched.
What? No. Look at Jason.
-Camp Pulaski all over again. -Oh.
What? No, he's fine.
-It's easy. He's enjoying the view. -With his knees bucklin' like that?
Come on, don't look down.
[whispering] Don't look down.
[moans softly]
[Jason softly] Okay.
[breathes heavily]
And he's frozen.
-I'll go get him. -Oh.
I think someone's doin' that.
Jason.
[breathing heavily]
It's Camp Pulaski again.
No, it's not.
Jason Xavior King, look at me.
You can do this.
I know you can.
Take my hand.
Just trust me.
Okay.
[Beverly] Baby!
-Baby, are you okay? -Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm good.
It was just a moment, baby. It was just-- I'm-- I'm fine now.
Why didn't you say you're afraid of heights?
Babe, I would have kept you on solid ground. Oh, silly man.
[Jason] Hey, it was just a little thing I had when I was a kid.
Thought I was over it, but guess I'm not.
[breathing heavily]
-[party music plays] -[Christian] Yeah!
All right! Everybody ready? We must toast to the gods.
-Salud! -[Jason] Salud!
[al] Salud!
Jason! Are you feeling better, man?
I mean, that bridge had you rocked.
-Dude, I'm-- I'm-- I'm all right. -He's always had trouble with heights.
[Christian] Erica, you were so smooth how you went back out on that bridge
to talk our boy back to land.
And you were so calm, too, before we knew he was having a hard time.
-How'd you know? -Well, I was just closer. That's all.
-Any of you guys would have done the same. -Not me.
You have a knack for helping people, like saving that guy at the beach.
-When was this? -[Erica chuckles] That's crazy.
Um, when I went for that walk after I landed.
You have to come with me and Janelle to my bachelorette night.
-Oh, yes! -[Beverly] We need that light around us.
You gotta come. You gotta come.
[Janelle beatboxing]
[Beverly] ♪ You know you wanna do it ♪ ♪ You know you wanna do it ♪
[squeals] Come on, please!
-Yes. -Yes!
-Yeah! -[Erica] I'll do it. I'll do it.
Um, but first, I need to get my booty to bed.
It's been a long day.
-I'll walk you back. -Okay.
-[Janelle] The gentleman. -[chuckles]
So, what happened back there, huh?
Thought you were gonna keep our first little meeting to yourself.
-It slipped out. -[chuckles]
Okay, so, you were in secret missions in the Middle East,
but that just slipped out? All right.
Hey, look, why does it matter?
Earlier today, Beverly asked if Jason is the love of your life.
-[sighs] She asked if my nameless ex was-- -Well, do you?
What?
Do you think that Jason is the love of your life?
Because you're worried if he knows that we met on a beach.
Why do you care?
Look, he's
my baby brother.
And we may not have been on the best footing for a while now,
but I still want what's best for him.
Well, we were together for four and a half years.
Those feelings don't just go away, you know.
I don't.
But being in the military wasn't ideal for long-term relationships.
I've never had that big type of love.
No international whirlwind love affairs?
[chuckles]
Affairs, yeah.
Yeah. [clicks tongue]
Love…
no.
Did you really have to make a big deal about that bridge thing?
Bro, you froze.
It happens.
I mean, I was in the Coachella Ferris wheel once and--
Making me look like a wimp in front of everybody.
There's my brother there to see it.
No one's thinkin' of you like that.
Now he's probably off who knows where with Erica.
So what?
-So, what if I made a mistake? -Hmm.
-What if I should have married her? -You…
You said, "Marry Erica?"
Bro… [sighs]
I was out on that bridge today…
and she was with me.
Huh? Oh.
What if I made a mistake
runnin' away from her?

[Jason chuckles]
I remember when you sang that song for me.
-What's going on, Jason? -This is a lot, you know?
My parents are gonna be here tomorrow. They haven't even met Beverly yet.
Wait, who meets their in-laws at their wedding?
-Well, you know how my mom is. -[chuckles] Okay.
You must really wanna marry her to keep Naomi away until the wedding.
-[chuckles] -Mm-hmm.
Wish you did that for me.
-I should go back to the stage. -Can we talk? Later?
I'm roped into a bachelorette party tonight, remember?
See if you can get away.
[smacks lips] I'll try.
[sighs] Okay.
[sighs] What am I doing?
What are you doing?
He said, and I quote, "I thought I was over it, but I'm not."
Yeah, about his fear of heights.
Well, he-- he already called off one wedding.
Girl. Yours.
Okay, I gotta go. I'm meeting with Beverly and her sister at the bar.
Have you lost your damn mind?
I thought the plan was to avoid them.
I tried.
Fake a case of diarrhea. No one questions diarrhea.
-Ew! Gross. -[hang up tone beeps]
Okie dokie, who's ready for some karaoke?
[all] Whoo!
All right, first up, we have the bride-to-be…
-Beverly! -[cheering]
That's my sister, y'all. She gettin' married.

So, Jason, this is all you wanna do? Obviously, it's your bachelor party.
You know what?
Not really feelin' in a party mood after that business yesterday.
Mm.
What business?
Oh, no, no, no. Let's not go there.
"What business?" I have one little height-related episode…
And we're going there.
…and you go and you pick at it.
Jason, look, you've always had this in your head.
[Jason sighs]
I'm sorry for being born first.
You look down on me just because you're so used to being the hero in everything.
Hey, hey, you know I found a brother on 23andMe?
Look, but I am not sorry for being good at what I like to do, man.
Leaving no space for me?
I couldn't even get past your shadow in the chess club.
His name's Raymond.
It's not enough that you're this big, bad military hero everybody can worship.
Okay, look, Jason, do you know that Mom used to email me pictures
of your cubicle up to your corner office?
She sends those to everybody.
She sends it to everybody 'cause she loves you. She's proud of you.
You are my brilliant, little brother, man.
And no one is judging you,
or comparing you to anyone.
Look, make your own choices and stick by them.
That's what being a man is.
[scoffs] Okay. Don't lecture me about what being a man is.
-I know you're not standing… -I'm walking down the aisle.
-That's manly. -No. Gentlemen! Gentlemen! Hey! Hey!
You're brothers!
We all want what's best for each other.
Let's not forget that.
Nor should we forget
that I spent $6,000 on this 1974 single malt scotch.
-Okay, now, that's insane. -Yeah, yeah, but we will drink it.
-We will absolutely drink it. -Yes.
Good, good. This cost a lot of money, and I don't even like whiskey.

Work stuff.

-["Dance in Place" by CLAVVS playing] -[party chattering]
Ooh!
Tequila shots for everybody!
-Especially you. -[man] Thank you.
Here you go.
One, two, three.
-I'll be right back. -Okay.
-[Beverly] You better come back. -You better.
[music continues in distance]
[tapping]
-[blips] -[phone chimes]
[tapping]
[blips]
[phone chimes]
[sighs]
-Hey. -Jason--
I was walking back to my room and then your room,
and then I couldn't decide, so I chose the ground.
[sighs] Thanks.
Um…
Everything's happening so fast, you know. Um…
And it's really…
It's really bringing up a lot for me. You know?
Me too.
[Jason] And, um…
you think I left because I chose the job over you.
But in reality, it's because I thought you didn't need me,
not like you need your music.
That's what got you through your day.
I didn't think I could compete with that.
[sighs] Well, I'm--
I'm sorry I made it feel like a competition.
[whispering] And I'm sorry for hurting you, Erica.
[sighs] Jason,
these last six weeks, I have watched people get married,
and they all looked so happy.
The thought of having to watch you
get married to someone, and it's not me…
[both crying]
Come here. Come here. Come here. It's okay.
[touching music playing]
-[gecko clicking] -[gasps]
[Jason screams] Oh my God!
Erica! Erica, girl, where have you been?
Janelle had to step out for a work emergency.
Get back up here 'cause I'm singing "Shallow" next. Both parts!
[squeals] Come on! Come on! Come on!
[gasps]
Where's my tiara?
Uh, you-- you gifted it to the bartender for her kindness and grace.
[laughs] Oh, yeah.
You should probably drink some more of your water, please.
Oh, I have another one back home in Charleston.
You know I was Miss Charleston?
Mm.
-Get out of town. Wow. -[chuckles]
[gasps] Oh my God.
-Oh my God. -Mm.
I just thought of something.
I'm really gonna be a queen
because I'm marrying a king.
[laughing] 'Cause Jason's last name is… King.
Yep. I get it. I get it. [chuckles]
You're not gonna keep your last name, huh?
Uh, for my political career, of course.
But I think-- I think in my personal life, I'm--
I'm just gonna be Mrs. King.
[laughs]
Oh my God, I can't help it. I am so traditional.
I want the white picket fence.
I want two babies.
I want church on Sunday.
And I just love feeding people, you know.
My mom and dad used to have these huge Sunday night dinners, right?
Every Sunday after church.
And then, when they were gone…
[chuckles] Um…
Anyway, I wanna do the same thing.
And-- And I have these two crock pots, right,
and Jason has this one rice cooker that he loves.
And I-- I can just
smell the home I wanna make with him. [laughs]
I can literally hear our kids just playing on the swing on the wraparound porch.
[laughs] I know that sounds so weird. I'm sorry.
No, no. Actually… It's actually… It's really nice.
Here, I-- I am so sorry your fiancé broke up with you.
But you know what? Screw him. He's lost the best thing he'll ever have.
-I don't know about that. -No, I do.
You know, the men in our lives, they think they're our everything.
-Although they are not. -[both laugh]
Amen to that.
That actually needs to be official. I think I wanna legislate that one day.
[Erica laughs] I'm-- I'm sure you will.
-Okay [laughing]. -[Erica] Okay.
Oh shit! My name is Beverly Strattford, and I approve this message. Okay?
Right. Yes, girl. [grunts]
Oh, man.
Ooh. Ooh.
-I'm gonna leave this here, just in case. -Mm-hmm.
-Okay? -Yeah. Yeah.
-All right. You sure you're okay? -I'm fine. I'm fine. I'm fine.
-[phone chimes] -Mm.
[blips]
Was that your phone or mine?
-Mine. -Oh…
Who's texting you this late, Ms. Erica?
Just one of the band confirming rehearsal tomorrow.
Oh, will I see you at the rehearsal dinner tomorrow?
-Uh… -[squeals]
I have to work.
[smacks lips] Well, then I will see you at the wedding!
-[giggles] -Okay.
Oh, Erica.
Girl, I'm so happy I met you. I really feel like we're becoming friends.
[chuckles softly]
Good night.
[chuckles]
Oh… [sighs]
-[clicks] -[tapping]
[blips]
[footsteps approaching]
[gasps softly]
Hey.
-Hi. -Hi.
Uh, what are you-- What are you doing out here?
-What are you doing here? -[chuckles]
Well, it is finally cool enough to go for a run. So… here I am.
I like to meditate at this time of the night.
Oh.
[Erica] How was the bachelor party?
Well, we just smoked cigars,
and sat by an infinity pool,
and drank overpriced whiskey.
-[both chuckle] -How was your thing?
Mine was…
It was actually fun. I have to admit.
-[chuckles] -Jason left us early.
Said he had to go work, but probably just snuck off to be with Beverly.
Hmm.
So, do you wanna go meditate?
[chuckles]
Ah, let's-- let's give it a try.
Okay. After you.
[Erica laughing]
-No, I can't believe that. Okay, this one. -Uh…
Believe it or not…
-The trombone. -[laughs] I knew you would say that.
All right, how about this one?
Yeah, that is the scar that changed my entire life.
-I blew it out on my last mission. -Oh.
And just like that, the only life that I know-- I-- [sighs]
I knew,
really is gone.
Not many people can see those types of scars.
Hmm. [chuckles] True.
I look at that scar and think to myself, it has put me on a path,
and I don't know where it's gonna lead.
Hmm.
No one is coming to pick me up to take me to my next mission.
And I keep imagining my family and…
[chuckles] …everyone…
expecting me to know what I'm gonna do next, but…
I don't.
And for the first time in my life, I have
no plan.
Maybe you should own that.
Yeah. Don't worry about what everybody expects of you.
I don't know how to do that.
[both chuckle]
Hmm.
Neither do I.
I guess.
[sighs] It's harder trying to get over what you expect of yourself.
Yeah, that's the one.
'Cause I definitely expected that album would be my big break.
Hmm. [tsks]
-[sighs] -I'm sorry.
I'm not sure that I am.
But I do know that the music is still with me.
And though I have no plan…
[sighs] …I know I'm meant to sing.
That's why God gave me this voice.
Well, you can't argue with God.
No.
Especially not when he makes a sunrise like that.
[Erica] Wow.
Okay, I… [clears throat] …should go get some sleep
before my parents get here.
Seeing my mom for the first time in a few years
requires at least four hours.
[chuckles] Oh wow.
-Um, I'm gonna go… -Yeah.
…hide.
See you later.
-Before your mom sees me. [chuckles] -Yeah.
-Then the sand's gonna hit the fan. -[chuckles]
-All right. -Yeah.
-Good night! -See you later.
-Bye. -Bye.
[tense music]
[indistinct chattering]
[Naomi] Hmm.
Mm-hmm.
[chuckles nervously]
I've got to be real.
Today's a very difficult day for me.
I'm losing my baby.
My blanket in the shade.
Oh, Mom!
I used to use his little body as a shawl on picnics.
-Okay. -[chuckles]
And it's been cold without him.
Attention! Attention. Attention, everyone!
Oh God. Oh no.
Attention, everyone!
There's something I have to say.
Okay.
I'm losing my baby…
Come on, say it. Say it.
…to a siren's call.
-What? -Oh, Jesus!
And in times like these,
I turn to Bette Midler for the right words.
Oh no!
What does Bette Midler have to do with anything?

[Caleb] You've given these people enough of your gift.
Uh-uh. We cannot be stingy with our songs of love and devotion, baby.
I know, but it's my turn to toast Jason.
And I've really been looking forward to it.
Oh, oh, well, for you, baby.
For you.
[clears throat] Hello, everyone.
I am Caleb King,
Jason's older brother.
Now, I don't-- I don't know much about relationships.
I've never been married, but I know what it's like to be committed wholeheartedly.
And that is what you two are about to do tomorrow.
Commitment is
an active breathing thing.
Too many people walk away easily…
give up easily.
But the strength and love that it takes to choose commitment,
well, that… that is something to look up to.
And I do.
So… [clears throat]
…from everyone at this table,
congratulations, Beverly and Jason.
[all] Cheers!
-Thank you. -[Jason] Cheers.

[knocking at door]
[sighs]
You should really ask who's there before you open the door.
[chuckles]
What are you doing here?
It's over.
-Jason called off the wedding? -What?
No. The rehearsal dinner.
But… [sighs]
…I think he's having cold feet.
So I figured I'd keep watch.
In case he tries anything stupid.
What do you mean by s-- stupid? [chuckles]
-You have another one of those? -[both laughing]
Okay, "Wind Beneath My Wings" is actually a good choice,
but I would take Naomi for more of a "I Will Always Love You."
Yeah. That kinda mother-in-law.
Just a little bit more menacing.
-[laughs] -Yeah, with a headscarf.
Running off the plane like Whitney at the end of The Bodyguard.
-She has one of those headscarves, too. -Yes, I bet.
I bet you're glad you don't have to deal with her?
Maybe.
Or… [sighs] …maybe I would have grown to like her.
You would have.
I mean, look, she's
crazy…
[both chuckle]
…but all that drama is just how she knows how to show love.
You know?
Yeah. I guess things could definitely be worse.
Mm-hmm.
-Yeah. -Yeah.
You mind if I take these off?
Oh, so you really are staying, aren't you?
That is the plan.
Hmm.
You were expecting Jason, weren't you?
I don't know.
-Hmm. -Maybe.
You want me to leave?
No, not really.

Okay, samurai movies are what cheer you up?
Yeah. Sure do.

And then they clash steel, and then what?
-What happens? -[laughs]
I mean, how does that guy know he's slicing up the right guy?
Well, see, they have a code of honor that they live by.
-Well, okay, I wish life was that easy. -Mm.
-Well… -[both sigh]
…it's not supposed to be.
I mean, look, the most interesting samurais,
the ones you root for,
are complicated heroes.
[yelling, clash of steel continues on TV]
[both chuckle]
-Hey! -Hey.
-I thought you were in your sister's room. -I was.
-Wait. Where are you going? -I was just gettin' some air.
Okay. Um…
-Can I… -Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Baby, I'm sorry I didn't believe you when you said your parents were a lot.
And I'm so sorry that I was so cranky at dinner.
Um…
I wanna marry you more than anything in the world,
but I can't lie.
Baby, I'm nerv-- I'm nervous.
[softly] Hey. Hey.
I'm nervous, too.
-Really? -Yeah, so nervous.
Okay, I mean, maybe we can just be nervous together.
Deal.
[chuckles]
Oh.
[gong echoes]
[both sigh]
-You asleep? -[groans]
-I was. -[groans]
-[Caleb groans] -[inhales deeply]
[groans]
Thank you for staying.
Of course.
-[inhales] We should get some sleep. -All right. Yep.
Um…
Um, I can take the couch. You can have the bed.
No. You…
take your bed. I'll take the couch.
[softly] Okay. Here.
[Caleb grunts]
Ooh, yeah.
-[mellow music playing] -[Caleb sighs]
[exhales]
[Caleb snoring loudly]
[Caleb snorts]
[Caleb sniffs, grunts]
[Caleb groans, snorts]
[snorts]
[laughing]
-Kidding! -[both laugh]
Oh, my goodness!
I can't believe you weren't going to say anything, though.
Speechless!
[both laughing]
-[Erica] Goodnight! -Night.
[knocking at door]
-Mm. -[knocking at door continues]
Coming!
Erica, I need to talk to you.
Jason, um, this isn't exactly the right time. I…
What are you doin' here?
Look… Jason…
-[chuckles] I knew somethin' was goin' on. -What? No. We were…
-We were just watching Netflix and fell-- -Oh, Netflix and chill.
Now I feel real good about the situation.
He doesn't even know what that means, Jason.
I-- I know what it means. I know what it means.
But it was-- it was just Netflix, all right? There was no chill.
Jason, even if it was, you're getting married today, remember?
[sighs]
Erica, goin' after him isn't gonna help either one of you right now.
Erica?
[sighs]
Erica, you should be with someone who is sure
that you're the only choice for him.
That man is not Jason.
Jason!
[sighs]
Hey! Okay, you stop this right now.
This craziness stops right now.
-We're not running through the sand. -Oh, how… My brother? Really?
Nothing happened.
But are you-- are you really jealous, or
are you having cold feet, Jason?
I don't know.
I screwed everything up with you.
What's gonna stop me from screwin' everything up with her, too?
[sighs]
We screwed things up for each other.
Jason, the truth is,
if you hadn't called off the wedding,
I probably would have.
Then…
Then what is all of this?
[sighs]
Nostalgia.
Coincidence. Guilt. Uh, I don't know.
[sighs] Maybe all of the above.
[breathing heavily]
But if this was right…
and you were the love of my life, then it would not be this hard.
[Jason exhales]
I love her.
I was on my over to tell you that.
Then I saw Caleb, and I just lost it. I just--
Look at me. I'm gonna screw this up. I'm gonna screw this up.
-I know I'm gonna screw this up-- -No. Look. No. Listen. No, you're not!
Beverly loves you.
You love her.
[exhales] Hmm.
I feel like you're walkin' me across another bridge.
Well…
we got across the last one, right?
Yeah.
-We did. -Mm-hmm.
Come on. Let's get you married.
Yes, big sis.
Ma chérie. C'est trop bien. [chuckles]
You look so beautiful!
You like the sun behind you?
Comfortable with those shadows?
No, I love the shade. These are just some candid shots. So…
The photographers gonna come any minute. Don't… Any second…
Maybe if she stands with her better side forward.
-[Janelle] Okay, careful now. -[Beverly] Thank you, Ms. King.
Thank you.
-[Janelle] Wow. All right then. -Is that Erica with Jason?
Why on earth would my son invite his ex to his wedding?
His ex?
Thank God he had the good sense to call that off.
But this staying friends with your ex, ugh…
When?
When did he break up with her?
-About a month before the wedding. -Okay, "the wedding." Oh.
[Naomi] Mm-hmm.
-When were they engaged? -Last year.
[Janelle] Little hussy messed with the wrong family.
She's gonna curse the day she ever came to the wedding.
You better call the ambulance.
-[shouting] Call the Mauritian police! -[dramatic music playing]
[sighs]
Erica!
Janelle?
-You lying, scheming, two-faced-- -It's not what you think!
[Janelle] I know where you live.
[Janelle yells]
Where is she?
Erica! Erica, I need your help.
Beverly's sister called all out of breath. Beverly has canceled the wedding.
Oh no!
Yes, and she's run away. Nobody can find her. It's terrible.
Not for us. They still have to pay for the wedding, but I feel bad.
She was breathing out a lot of emotion.
If you can help, I would be eternally grateful.
Of course. Okay. I'll-- I'll-- I'm on it. I'm on it.
The cabanas are the other way. Have you forgotten your ground tutorial?
Oh, c'est impossible.
-[yelling] -[dramatic percussive music playing]
Yeah, you better run, Erica!
[panting]
-[Janelle panting] -[Erica grunts]
[Erica grunts]
-Oh, this is not a good time. -Drive!
[Beverly] Get out!
See what I mean?
You get out of this van right now! I know that you and Jason were engaged.
I know you've been lying to me this whole time.
Make her get out of this van!
-Wait. Let me fix this. -How could you possibly fix this?
-Look, you deserve the truth. You do. -The truth.
But-- But let me-- let me share this truth a little bit further down the road.
-What? -Further down. Just keep driving.
[engine revving]
-[Beverly] Take me to the airport. -There's been a misunderstanding.
A mis-- I saw the two of you on the beach-- Know what? Never mind.
I will give you $200 if you throw her out of this van.
-[Barrington chuckles] -Okay? Five, if it is still moving.
Don't even think about it.
If you don't throw her out of this van right now, I'mma start swingin'.
[Barrington] All right. All right. Okay, this is not part of my job.
Barrington. Wait, wait. What are you doing?
-[Barrington] I just… [clears throat] -No. No, no, no, no.
Okay, I bruise easily.
-Okay. -[Beverly] No, no. No, no, no, no, no.
-[Erica] Barrington! -No! Don't leave me here with her.
-[Erica] Come back! She's crazy! -You cannot leave me here!
-[Erica] Barrington! -Barrington!
You and Jason ought to be ashamed of yourselves.
Beverly! Beverly, I swear, nothing happened between us.
Why should I believe you?
You've been lying to me this whole time.
Okay, look…
Okay, we have history,
and we should have told you, but-- but-- but we were-- we were both afraid that…
Well, this would happen!
I feel like such an idiot.
No, no. Please, please, look, look, look, Jason and I are the idiots.
-Maybe you do belong together, then. -No, we don't.
Because you're his perfect match.
-[sighs] -You know that dream that you have?
The both of you have?
The-- The porch swing.
The children.
I-- I got hives just listening.
Well, why were you sneaking behind my back, then?
Because we were blindsided.
Truly, wh-- what are the odds of him showing up here to get married?
Actually, they're pretty good considering
Amber's really good at manipulating social media algorithms,
but-- but still.
I'm not some country fried-green-tomato idiot, okay?
No, of course, you're not.
Well, the truth is…
Beverly, I never got closure.
[sighs] I was happy, and I was hustling,
and all of a sudden, Jason was gone.
And I was sad,
but I was gonna be okay.
I was gonna make my music.
Because the love of my life since I was a little girl was music.
I still thought my dream was coming true.
Mm-hmm.
But that dream was never getting married to Jason,
and that should have been my dream.
It should have been it.
It was my dream.
Then why are you giving up so easily?
Just the idea that Jason wasn't sure about me,
even just for a moment,
it hurts.
I know, and I'm sorry.
But Jason is so sure.
And if you don't believe me, just-- just please, just go hear him out.
Give him a chance to prove that he is still the man of your dreams.
[sighs]
[laughs nervously]
I-- I do believe you.
I do.
But come on, th-- this isn't how I envisioned my wedding day.
Well, your wedding day isn't over.
[sighs]
Let's get you back there, and you go marry the man that you love.
[sighs] You're coming with me.
No. No.
Yeah,
because you need your closure.
And I need someone to sing at my wedding.
Okay.
I would be honored.
Come here.
[both grunting]
[both chuckle]
This hug is gonna have to wait. I'm, uh, I'm gonna go get Barrington.
-Everything's gonna be okay. Hang on. -[Janelle] Erica!
-We'll-- We'll get back to the resort-- -[grunts]
Janelle, no!
[inspirational music playing]
[Barrington] We are gathered here today to witness the union
of Beverly Strattford and Jason King.
The bride and groom have chosen to recite their own vows.
-Should be interesting. -[chuckles]
-[Barrington] Jason. -[sighs]
Beverly,
when people say, "I love you,"
I think they focus on the "love" part, and they don't recognize the "you" part.
When I say "you,"
I mean every moment of you.
The you that hums when she stirs her tea.
The you that gets so excited by public policy.
The you that makes me lunches every day before I go to work.
The one-day-mother-of-my-children you.
[chuckles]
And that smile,
that washed my heart with sun the first day I met you,
I love and I appreciate that you.
And I am so thankful and so honored
I get to love all of you,
from now until eternity.
Beverly, I love you.
[crying softly]
[Barrington softly] Wow. Ooh…
This is--
Um, it was beautiful.
-[chuckles] -[chuckles]
Whoo. Beverly.
Um…
I had a poem that I wrote for you.
Um, and it has imagery and…
Doesn't matter.
Baby.
[guests chuckle]
-I love you. -I love you, too.
You are my dream.
Sorry. [chuckles]
And now, if there's anyone here who knows why
these two should not be joined together in holy matrimony….
Don't you even. Jason is not your husband.
This man to the left in the blue leisure suit,
that's your husband.
It's lapis. [clears throat]
[chuckles]
-[softly] Mom. -I now pronounce you husband and wife.
[giggles]
You may kiss, again.
-[laughs] -[guests cheering, whooping]
["Lemonade" by Brooke Alexx playing]
-Yeah! [howls] -[inaudible] That's my man.
[whooping]
-That went perfect! -Come on!
-Wow! Oh my God. -Yeah.
-Okay. -[Christian] Classy for the ladies.
-Hey, I love you guys. -Cheers.
-Cheers! -Love, prosperity…
-All right. Cool, well… -All that.
You ain't even-- Oh, my goodness. Okay.
You got it on my leg.
[Christian] I'm sorry. I'm really excited. I'm really excited.
-[party chattering] -[chuckles]
You seem happy.
[chuckles]
You know, for a while there, I doubted I'd ever be again,
but look at me. [chuckles]
I am.
You know what? Hold that thought.
[chuckles]
Whoo. [clears throat]
Beverly.
Jason.
Now, I know you wanted your wedding song to be "Diamonds,"
and I know that's a beautiful song.
But to me, it doesn't capture the love that you have for each other,
and it doesn't express the love that I have for the both of you
as my friends, so here it goes.
-[Beverly chuckles] -[piano plays "No One" intro]
-What's she gonna do? -Yeah…

[Erica] Okay, this must be important
because you have called me 5 times in the last 20 minutes.
Have you seen Cre's Instagram? He's going back into the studio.
Hmm. Good for him. Maybe he'll actually release this one.
You should get in touch with his people. This could be your second chance.
There'll be other chances.
Okay. I'm about to take another leap. I'll call you later.
