And here's another one
that will take you back.
This is "Still The One" by Orleans.
You looked so good!
You dodged a bullet on that one, Abs.
Dylan's a true idiot.
It's his loss.
Yeah, but we just broke up two days ago.
I mean, isn't there supposed to be, like,
a mourning period or something?
You never know, I mean...
deep down, he could really be grieving.
You know, it might make you feel better
if maybe the two of us danced...
together?
Right!
Could you imagine?
Us swaying back and forth, like two dorks?
Pfft! Yeah. Ridiculous.
I mean, these things are so lame anyways.
I shouldn't have even come.
My mom's a chaperone tonight.
If I tell her we're ready to go,
we could be at Ardendale's
splitting a Triple Chocolate Meltdown
in less than 30 minutes.
You wanna bail?
Oh, my god, Sean.
Like usual, you read my mind.
You know, I think you might be an actual telepath.
Okay, quick!
What am I thinking right now?
Abby.
We can't egg Dylan's house.
It's a crime!
You're right.
It's his loss.
Plus, I'm actually not mad anymore,
'cause I'm the bigger person.
Thanks for cheering me up.
Anytime.
Okay, let's get out of here
before the cheesiness of this place rubs off on us.
♪ We're still having fun ♪
♪ And you're still the one ♪
I cannot believe
that you have convinced me to go to adult summer camp.
You do know how cheesy this is gonna be, right?
It is not a summer camp.
It is a "lifestyle wilderness retreat".
We are going to relax.
We're gonna catch up on sleep.
We're gonna become one with nature.
Okay, but is nature really that relaxing?
'Cause there are a lot of things out there that could kill ya.
Abby, this could be good for you.
It could reduce your stress levels a little bit.
Uh-uh.
I thought we were going there for you get over Chad,
'cause I like my stress levels exactly where they are.
They help me feel alive.
I had a feeling that there would be resistance, so...
I brought bribes.
Mm-hmm.
I thought we couldn't bring outside food in there.
We can't.
They're actually very intense about their all-organic menu,
so you're gonna have to hide those in your underwear.
Rachel, you are a wonderful person!
And, for you...
I will try to be positive
about this very cringey thing we're doing.
Thank you.
That's all I ask.
Just leave your cynicism at home for one week.
- I'm not a cynic, I'm a rea-- -"Realist".
I know. I know.
Okay, you try being a public defender in Los Angeles
and not turning a little cynical.
Like, right now, I have a case where a dad
took out eight credit cards in his son's name--
what are you doing with that-- save them!
I'm taking a candy every time you bring up work.
That is the rule.
Thank you.
Okay. Okay, okay, okay.
Wow. You smell that?
Yeah.
Crisp, smog-free air.
It's unsettling.
Unsettling, or...
the start of the most relaxing week of your life?
Okay, you keep saying "my" life.
Isn't it "our" life?
Welcome to Azur Ridge Wellness Retreat.
I'm Mason, the resident chef.
May I offer you
one of our trademarked spinach-papaya smoothies?
Ooh... fancy! Thank you.
I'm Rachel. This is Abby.
And aren't you allergic to spinach?
Yes... but I didn't wanna be rude to the super-hot chef.
It's not a problem.
I'll remember-- no spinach...
for the girl in the cute purple Crocs.
You must be Abby and Rachel!
You're our last guests to arrive.
Not surprising, because I see here...
that you are both Geminis.
Uh-oh!
I'm gonna have to keep an eye on you two!
I'm kidding.
My name is Randy,
and it's my pleasure to welcome you
to the best week of your lives.
Now, who's ready to hit the reset button?
Ohh...
Ooh.
I know I am.
Just so excited to be here,
and I really hope I win the best-camper award.
Oh, no, we... we don't have anything like that.
Awards suggest
that one person is more valuable than the others.
Uh, and here, everybody leaves
as the best version of themselves.
♪ Ta-da! ♪
- Oh... twins. - Perfect.
Now, I-- I know the beds are small,
but I can guarantee that they are very comfortable.
I've tested every mattress on the property myself.
That's... cool. Thank you?
- Of course. - Mm.
Anything for my valued guests.
I'll leave you to get settled,
and I will see you in an hour at orientation.
Great. Thanks.
You're welcome.
Ooh...
He is a lot! I will give you that.
I swear he's been put on this Earth
just to test my patience.
Well, you showed amazing restraint.
I am very proud of you.
Anything for my valued friend!
Wow. This place looks amazing!
Mm.
We are gonna leave here so rejuvenated.
Ooh! There's even a babbling brook!
Okay.
I'm gonna have a very hard time taking this seriously
if you keep saying things like "babbling brook".
Though, the babbling is nice.
Mm. Just imagine
us... sitting here...
with a cup of tea and a good book.
Ahh. Yeah.
You'll be saying "Chad who?" in no time.
Who?
Chad?
Your ex-boyfriend.
Hmm? The reason we're here?
Tch...
Oh... I knew it!
You little liar!
- Don't be mad. - You brought us here
for me, didn't you?
Things got really bad when you broke up with Jack.
Yeah, okay, that's, like, over a year ago!
Yeah! But you really threw yourself into your work.
And I know you love your job, but...
you kinda stopped taking care of yourself.
No!
You wore the same outfit for three days straight
without noticing.
Ah! Technically, not the same outfit,
'cause on day two, I wore a scarf.
Well, I just knew you wouldn't take a break
unless you thought it was for me.
So can you please-- please--
please just try and be open
to this new experience?
Actually, this is, like,
the nicest thing anybody's ever done for me, so...
thank you.
You would have done it for me.
I mean, you literally did when you thought I was here
- because of stupid Chad. - I know,
I don't know how I didn't catch onto that sooner.
He was so boring!
Yeah...
...But hot.
Come on.
Uh... ooh!
I know that guy.
- Hmm? - That's Sean!
He went to high school with me.
- Oh. Let's go say hi. - What? No, no.
We can't go say hi, okay?
He's the worst!
He's a monster, actually,
and we gotta avoid him at all costs.
Okay.
You guys are gonna grow to love that sound.
We strike the gong for every meal--
or as we like to call them, every "nourishment gathering".
But here, at Azur Ridge Wellness Retreat,
we're not just nourishing our bodies...
...we are nourishing our souls.
Okay.
Way above my head already.
Oh, no, don't worry--
Randy just gets really into his speeches.
Yeah. This place is great.
We come here whenever our marriage hits a little, uh,
"love hiccup".
So, several times a year.
Oh... Isn't that romantic?
...And don't forget about
our all-inclusive activities.
Every class we offer
is designed to break you out of that nine-to-five mindset.
It's why the fall sessions are my favorite here,
because just like the changing foliage,
you too can turn over a new leaf.
And, with that,
the sign-up sheets are down the hall.
And, uh, there is limited availability--
...so let's go!
What are you waiting for?
You know, if I miss that pottery class,
I really will ask for that divorce!
Huh.
We're gonna do normal stuff, right?
Like, kickball? I like kickball.
Uh, no kickball.
But, don't worry,
I went through the brochure
and I know exactly what we're gonna do.
Of course you did.
Why don't you go up to the room and have a little nap?
I-- I'm into that.
Excuse me.
I didn't do anything!
Oh. Uh...
No. I'm not supposed to talk to you.
Ah. So it was Abby.
I can neither confirm nor deny.
Look.
I don't know what she told you,
but I'm-I'm really excited to see her.
Abby and I were best friends in high school.
It's just been a while.
Okay. Well, this is new, interesting information.
Goodbye.
Okay...
I hate to admit it,
but Randy was right about these mattresses.
How mad do you think he'd be if I stole one?
So...
what is the deal with you and "Monster Sean"
that we saw earlier?
Hmm?
Nothing. He's just a guy from high school.
Really?
Because
he came up to me at the sign-up table,
and he mentioned that you two
used to be best friends.
Okay, yeah, we were friends.
But he...
turned out to be a heartless jerk
who I haven't seen or spoken to in 17 years.
Care to elaborate?
We'd just graduated high school and...
we made this pact to travel the country together
before college started.
I mean, we'd, like...
we'd planned this
since we were 11,
and I was so excited.
Our first stop was Portland.
And then he never showed.
Just...
left me at a bus stop.
Yeah.
Eventually, I ended up
going on the trip by myself.
Never saw him again.
Whoa.
Yeah.
That explains a lot
about, like...
who you are as a person.
Yeah, that I'm, like, fiercely independent?
Sure... those words work.
Aren't you curious about why he didn't show up?
No.
Come on.
You're just best friends one day and he's gone the next--
that doesn't bother you?
It's so mysterious.
No. Rachel, it's not a mystery.
He's just a jerk.
Okay? End of story.
Or...
maybe it's not the end of the story.
Because he signed up for the horseback ride,
and so did we.
Mm-mm.
Howdy, folks!
Okay, does anybody else work here?
You have made an excellent choice.
Horseback riding is my favorite way
for new guests to get the lay of the land,
and the best part is--
you each get to choose your own horse.
Ooh!
I want that one.
Oh, I get that.
He's...
is it weird to call a horse "handsome"?
It'd be rude not to.
- Mm-hmm. - What do you mean,
you don't wanna be on the same horse as me?
Probably because
the back of a horse isn't very spacious!
And it would kill you
to be that close to me for 30 minutes?
Ah! Whoa! Oh!
Hey, hey, hey, hey...
It's okay. It's okay.
It's all right, buddy. It's okay.
I know that was...
I know that was scary, but it's done now.
You're good. You're okay.
You're all right.
Well done, Sean.
You have excellent equestrian instincts.
Oh, it's not that. It's just, uh...
I'm a vet, so I'm around animals a lot.
So obnoxious.
I'm on your side, but...
that was kinda hot.
He's totally the worst.
The worst!
Your hat.
Thank you.
That was very brave.
Oh, pfft.
Ah, excuse me, does this mean
I don't get to ride the handsome horse?
Wow.
So you two have been
to every National Park in the U.S.?
That's so cool, Barb!
Which one do you like best?
Oh, our favorite is Yellowstone.
No.
That's your favorite.
I'm allowed to have a different opinion, Barbara.
Oh! Okay then.
Yes, which one is better
than the only park with Old Faithful?
And right on schedule-- there she blows!
Hey, Abs.
It's Abby.
Right. So long time, no see.
Mm-hmm.
Emphasis on the "no see".
I, uh, wouldn't do that with your heels.
I think you're confusing him.
Well, we can't all be fancy veterinarians, Sean.
Okay.
Look, I-I deserve a little coldness, but--
No, it's water under the bridge.
- Hey, Barb? - Hmm?
Uh, Sean here was just wondering,
uh, when is the best time to go to the Grand Canyon?
Do you wanna give him some tips?
Oh! Oh...
I have two words for you--
"shoulder season".
Also, you move faster as a single.
You gotta cut the dead weight-- leave them behind.
Good morning.
I got you your paleo breakfast.
Paleo?
Mm-hmm.
If cavemen had it so right, why are they all dead?
Well, I had the chef replace the eggs with bacon,
so it's pretty much just a box with bacon.
Well, maybe I was wrong about those cavemen.
Are you excited about today?
Mm. Depends.
Sean gonna be there?
It's not my fault
that the man has great taste in activities.
Eat up, buttercup!
The high-ropes course combines
the physical benefits of focused balance
with the spiritual benefits
of seeing the nature that surrounds us
from a whole new level.
Ha! Fun...
You know, uh, it's a lot higher than it looked on the website.
- You're gonna love it. - Hah.
Who wants to go first?
Abby, how about you?
- Oh, yeah. - No! No, no.
I don't do high ropes.
I'm just here to support her.
Okay.
Oh, why don't I go after Sean?
No, no, no. You go first.
Well, you're already wearing the harness.
Hmm. Yeah. Hey, Sean?
I know it's been, like, 17 years,
but did you get over your crippling fear of heights?
Yes.
People change, Abby.
Oh?
Come on, Sean!
Just a few more feet. You can do it.
No, no. No, thank you. I'm-I'm good here.
There's no reason to be afraid.
Just a couple more steps and you're done.
Or one... really big step.
Sean?
Can you at least acknowledge that you heard me?
Sean! You can't stay up there all day.
Okay! Yelling at him clearly isn't working.
Abby, what are you doing?
Somebody's gotta go up there and get him.
- Are you gonna go rescue him? - Yes.
But do not read into this, okay?
Sean! I need you to keep breathing, okay?
I'm gonna be right there.
I can't let you go up there. It's against company policy.
Uh, well, I think the only other option
is Sean spends the night in the tree.
Seriously, it's not meant to support two people.
The line could break.
Well, luckily, there's, like, no food in this place,
so I'm feeling super-light!
I just watched you eat, like, a full box of bacon.
Yeah, like I said-- empty stomach.
I warned you!
Everyone heard me tell her not to, right?
Oh, yeah.
I'm not responsible for what happens!
Ooh! Be careful, Abby!
Abby!
What are you doing? Are you trying to kill us both?
Always so dramatic.
Sean,
I just need you
to move one foot in front of the other, okay?
It's too high!
Of course, it's high!
Why on Earth did you sign up for the high-ropes course?
I saw Rachel write your names down, and...
you've been avoiding me.
That is a very brave thing to do, but...
...I promise you, when we get to the ground,
we can chit-chat. Okay?
But, Sean, right now,
I just... I need you to move forward, okay?
What if I fall?
Then we can sue... for millions.
That's it.
Just look straight ahead.
- Ah! Okay. - You got it.
There you go.
Yeah!
Left.
You got it.
Oh...
- Now-- - It's okay!
I got it. Wha--!
Whoa-kay. Oh, boy!
I'm free! I'm there!
I nailed it!
I survived!
Oh, thank God.
Good job.
See? Told you I was light.
Mm.
Are you okay?
Uh, yes.
Yeah, just mainly embarrassed.
Well... that was a lot.
I think we should move on to the next course. Hmm?
Do you wanna bail?
Oh! You read my mind.
Mm.
Are you by chance a telepath?
Quick. What am I thinking?
Sean, you're awful.
You wanna burn down the ropes course?
What's happening right now?
Oh, it's a... it's an inside joke from...
from high school.
Let's get out of here
before it turns into a Veronica situation!
Oh, it's a Veronica situation!
Also an inside joke from high school.
Okay.
Rachel.
Use your words.
I'm not a telepath.
Really?
Because you and Sean seem to have that power.
Okay.
What's up?
It's just interesting
that you said that Sean was a monster,
and I've had to listen to you
giggling like schoolgirls for the past 12 hours.
I know. I know. I just...
I forgot how nice it is to have him around.
You know?
Abby?
Hmm?
Do you like a boy?
No.
No! I don't--
I-- absolutely not.
He's, like...
He's an old friend from high school.
Old, hot friend...
who's really good with horses
and also knows your deepest, darkest secrets.
Okay, he's not... "hot".
Oh, my gosh. Abby!
I have never seen you have a crush.
It-It makes you so human.
I don't have a crush!
Did he tell you why he didn't show up at the bus stop?
Nope. Haven't talked about it yet.
Well, I bet it's good,
because he doesn't really seem like the type of person
who would be mean for no reason.
Okay. What's on the schedule today?
Mm! Thank you for asking.
Goat yoga.
Are you kidding?
Nope.
What is the obsession with livestock around here?
Mornin'.
Sean? Help.
Rachel wants me to do yoga with goats.
Well, I don't know. That sounds fun, actually.
Thank you, Sean!
Yeah.
Okay, well-- I mean, yeah, I guess it could be kinda fun.
♪ Crush... ♪
Crush.
Lower down, into Cobra...
...and back into Downward Dog.
Try to match the rhythm of your breath--
...to the pitter-patter of little goat hooves.
Hear me out.
I think that guy kinda looks like Adam Driver.
No, total Keanu vibes, man, like,
that goat does his own stunts.
Psst. Shh!
You know the goats are for everyone, right?
Shh-hh-hh-hh!
Now is not the time...
...to be vocal.
It's not our fault that they like snacks!
Are you happy?
I am so happy.
Go. Sorry!
Sorry. Sorry, everyone.
Just, uh, trying to help.
And now... we're upside-down.
Okay, that was fun.
I love your take on goat yoga,
but you have to take the next activity
very seriously.
Oh, that doesn't sound good.
"The talking circle".
It's a place where
we can share our feelings freely,
without being judged.
Huh.
But judging is what I do.
I'm with Abby on this one.
Not the judging-people part,
but I don't wanna sit around with a bunch of strangers
and talk about my feelings.
But... they-- strangers?
They're just a bunch of new friends.
No. I don't need new friends, Rachel, I have you.
And that guy from 7-Eleven
who only charges me for a small Freezie
even though I always get a large.
What if we did a sunset hike instead?
That I could do.
Great! Okay.
I'll meet you back here in 20 minutes?
- Okay. - Done.
You two sure love ditching
the plans that I have spent a month researching.
I'm sorry.
Don't be mad.
Okay? It's just...
a talking circle?
I mean, ugh. I need to do baby steps.
I think it would be really good for you.
Okay. Okay, what if I, um...
what if I just do a talking circle
with one person,
and I ask Sean why he left me at that bus stop?
I guess that could work.
And then, tomorrow, I'm all yours.
Promise?
Yes.
Cheer up, buttercup.
You're on thin ice.
I can't believe you still live in Hayward.
Well, I lived in San Francisco for a couple years,
but I moved back to open my practice.
Right. 'Cause you're a big, fancy vet now.
Guess your mom's obsession
with, uh, adopting 11-year-old golden retrievers
rubbed off on you.
Wow! Yeah, that's... that's probably exactly what did it.
I never thought about it like that.
Mm. Your mom is a saint.
Yeah.
So you're a public defender now?
Makes sense.
You get to help people and argue with them
at the same time.
Oh, it's not that noble.
I'm just biding my time,
and I'm gonna become a big, soulless corporate lawyer
- any day now. - Oh, sure, you are.
It's crazy that, with these busy lives,
we both ended up
coming to this retreat at the same time.
I know. Why did you come here?
I just wanted a little vacation.
Here?
Yeah, here. Why are you here?
Oh... Rachel.
Oh.
Oh! Hey!
Are you okay?
Uh, yeah. I, uh...
I don't do a lot of hiking.
Um,
and you clearly haven't found your feet yet.
Thanks.
Do you wanna...
should we go back?
No. We're-- We're practically there.
Okay.
We'll just pretend this didn't happen.
- Okay, good. - It's pretty embarrassing.
Hi.
Hey!
This one's strawberry.
I swear, no spinach went anywhere near it.
Oh...
Thank you.
Are you joining the talking circle?
Mm... I don't know.
I really wanted to do it with Abby.
What if I join you instead?
Don't you have to work?
Ah, my shift's over.
Oh.
Thank you.
Oh...
Not bad, huh?
Couldn't ask for a better view.
No.
I think I'm kinda
starting to understand this whole hiking thing.
- Thank you. - Yeah.
This was a good call.
I agree.
You know, this place is pretty great.
My only complaint is it can get a little too...
touchy-feely.
Mm.
I mean, a talking circle?
Yeah.
Talking is so-o-o stupid.
Tsk.
Oh. You wanna talk.
I mean...
like...
I don't wanna talk, per se, I just...
Why'd you do it?
Do what?
Leave me at the bus stop.
I know it's been a lifetime. I just need to know.
Honestly, I don't remember.
Come on, Sean. You don't remember?
I was your best friend.
You know why, Abby.
No, I-- I...
I have been thinking about this for years,
and I honestly don't know.
Because I was in love with you.
What?
Did you...
seriously not know?
No.
Why didn't you tell me?
Because I was scared.
You know, in my stupid teenage brain,
the whole...
..."unrequited love" thing felt like a giant deal.
Well...
...um...
if you had told me...
...you might've liked the response.
Oh.
Yeah.
Mm-hmm.
Uh...
I think we lost track of time.
It's getting kinda dark.
Oh, yeah, you're right.
We should, uh... get outta here before we lose all the light.
Yeah.
Which path was it?
That one.
Oh, 'cause there are two.
Yeah, there should only be one.
That is...
that's confusing.
Here.
Oh, great. No service.
The trail app on my phone won't even open.
I mean, they look the same to me.
Uh, I think it's the one on the right.
I really wish you sounded more confident
when you said that.
Me too, but I told you,
I don't have a lot of hiking experience.
Oh, look! Horse tracks.
We should follow those. Right?
Are you sure?
'Cause this one does look more familiar.
I don't know.
You know what?
I trust you. Let's...
Let's go the way you think we should go.
So agreeable.
Must've been a really good kiss.
Yeah, the horse tracks from the other day, right?
They're gonna lead us back.
For sure!
Oh, you gotta try this cider.
I wanna see if you can guess my secret ingredient.
Mm.
Oh! Nice addition of nutmeg this year, Chef.
I'm guessing it's nutmeg.
So, Rachel, where's Abby?
Off with "Horse Man"?
Yeah, probably.
They seem to be really hitting it off.
And I'm here with Chef.
And you're gonna love this--
Randy writes all these stories himself.
They are super-scary.
Plus, you can't beat his social commentary.
He does one
about a ghost of a railway tycoon
who haunts Jeff Bezos.
It is both chilling and thought-provoking.
Wow.
I heard tonight's story is a critique
of how golf courses are bad for the environment--
and has werewolves.
Oh! I hope I can't sleep tonight.
Okay, let's get our seats.
He really likes werewolves.
We open on a plush country club.
There's blood...
...everywhere!
Do you see any tracks?
No.
You know, it's...
it's possible this wasn't the trail,
or even a trail at all.
No, no, no, no. It-It-It was.
It was just-- it was, uh...
like this one rogue horse
that just went off into the wilderness
and we just happened to follow that one confused horse.
Abby...
we haven't seen any prints in a while.
We can't even find the ones that led us out here.
I think we just gotta say it...
we're lost.
Thank you.
Yeah.
Yeah, you're probably right.
Uh, could we, um...
I don't know, could we-- could we go back
to where we watched the sunset,
and then maybe reorient ourselves?
At this point,
we have no idea what direction that would even be in.
It's too dark.
We'd just wind up getting more lost.
Okay, you can't get "more lost".
Actually, I take that back.
I forget-- you have a terrible sense of direction.
And you were always impatient.
Oh...
Hey, if we just stay still,
someone will eventually notice we're missing,
and we'll be a lot easier to find
if we're not moving around, so,
we should stop,
and make camp.
I'm not impatient, I just think
that sitting around, waiting to die
is a bad idea.
And we don't have any, you know, camp gear.
So, do you think we should just sit here
in the forest, in the dark, and hope somebody finds us?
It's strategic.
What if we find the ocean?
That could work!
I have a bad sense of direction?
Abby, we're, like, 20 miles from the ocean.
Okay, okay, don't laugh.
There are no bad ideas when you're brainstorming.
Great! Then let's do the idea where we stay here.
Fine, but only because
my feet feel like they're about to fall off.
This has actually been a pretty good night.
Let's not start arguing.
You're right, I'm sorry.
Think it's just the stress of, uh...
you know, being lost in the wilderness.
Well, I'm sure we can make do for a bit.
Okay, what are you doing?
I am gathering kindling to make a fire.
Do you have a lighter?
No, but I have seen every episode of Survivor,
and those hours and hours of my life
are about to finally come in handy.
I've seen every episode of Snapped.
That doesn't mean I would be good at...
...my husband.
Oh, you would be great.
Well, you better hope we don't stay out here too long,
or I'm gonna have to-- ...and eat you.
You made a fire!
It's not much.
Well, it's better than nothing.
And now nobody can ever tell me again
that watching reality TV is a waste of time.
Fruit snacks!
- You have food? - Yeah!
I forgot that Rachel gave me a whole bag of candy,
and she was paranoid that anybody would find it,
so I hid it...
in my clothes.
Oh, wow, you're like a really sarcastic piñata.
Ah-hah, now I don't have to eat you.
Someone will eventually notice we're missing
and come find us.
Yeah.
Yeah, totally.
Oh, right.
Lost in the woods.
Five more minutes, Bridgey.
Did you just say "Bridgey"?
No.
Yes, you did.
Do you have a girlfriend?
Please don't tell me it's Bridgey from high school.
Though it'd be hard to believe
there are two women out there with that name.
You ended up with Bridgey?
She was, like, a cool, popular cheerleader.
We hated those people.
Yeah.
Am I the other woman?
Did you just cheat on her by kissing me?
Rachel!
Good morning.
Hi.
Come over here and try one of these.
Have you seen Abby?
No, I haven't.
Here.
It's a new recipe-- gluten-free and vegan.
Okay. Um...
Yes?
- Mm-hmm. - That's a good look.
That's a "yum" look.
This is vegan?
Yeah.
I'll teach you how to make them today
in that lesson you're signed up for.
- Mm. - You know,
it's the funniest thing.
Usually, my classes are really popular,
but somehow, you're the only one
who got to write their name down.
Wow, that's weird.
One-on-one lesson sounds pretty fun, though.
I can't.
Not that I don't want to,
but I haven't seen Abby
since she took off with Sean yesterday,
and she wasn't there when I woke up this morning,
and now she's not answering her texts--
and she missed a meal!
So I'm panicking.
Well, if she's spending so much time with Sean,
maybe she's still...
...with him?
Oh!
Abby? Sean?
Open the door, this is serious!
Doesn't sound like anyone's in there.
Oh.
Oh, this is bad.
This is really bad.
Okay.
Bridgey and I were dating, but we broke up!
Agh! What was last night, then?
Was-Was that-- Was that a rebound kiss?
Oh, Abby, don't do this. You know how I feel about you.
Do I though?
'Cause, I mean, we haven't really seen each other
in, like, 17 years.
I feel like I don't even really know you.
And what are you even doing here?
Are you here-- don't tell me--
it's because of your breakup with Miss School Spirit.
No. No, our breakup was actually very amicable.
Oh, come on, no breakup is ever truly amicable.
Well, ours was! Bridgey's very mature.
Pfft!
Hey, come on. It's not like you get to judge.
When it comes to dating people from high school,
you didn't have great taste.
Are you talking about Dylan?
- Yeah. - I was 17!
He had a good jawline.
And that's what teenagers do-- they make bad dating choices.
You... are an adult.
Well, Bridgey turned out to be a perfectly nice adult.
Sure, she was a lot when we were kids.
- Right? - But she's a happy person!
You know, the kind of person
that doesn't have to make snide comments all the time.
You know what? Whatever.
I don't need this. I'm over it.
Your dating life doesn't concern me.
And you know what?
Hmm! I think it's time we get going.
No. I told you, we should just stay in one spot.
It's daylight, though. We should put it to use.
Yeah, that's what I'm gonna do--
by building another fire
and trying to get it big enough that they can see the smoke.
Okay, that could take all day.
I'm not just gonna sit here and wait for that,
so I'm gonna leave with or without you.
Well, then, it's gonna have to be without me.
Ah. That sounds so familiar.
Leaving me behind is what you do best.
Oh, come on, that's not fair.
It is fair! Sean, you don't leave the person you love
at a bus stop!
Okay, should we talk about what actually happened?
I don't wanna talk about it.
Mystery's been solved, and I am over it.
Really? 'Cause you seem mad.
I am mad!
I'm mad that I'm stuck in the woods!
But you know what? I can fix that.
Hey. At least take one of the waters.
I don't want a water.
'Cause I'm gonna get rescued
as soon as I hike to the top of that hill
and get cell reception!
That's not how cell service works!
You don't work!
They said that they were going on a sunset hike,
but I haven't seen her for a whole day.
So I thought that she was just having fun,
hanging out with a guy that she liked,
but I can see now that, clearly, something is very wrong.
Rachel, it's not your fault.
I kinda tricked her into coming here.
She actually really hates nature.
We don't even offer a sunset hike.
They just made up their own activity?
It's a pretty good idea, actually.
We should add that.
Uh, do you know which trail they took?
I don't know.
I've tried calling her a dozen times,
but there's no answer.
Oh, yeah, there's absolutely no service out there.
But don't worry, we'll find them.
I've never lost a guest in my entire career,
and I do not plan on starting now.
Okay.
So, what's the plan?
Are-Are we gonna organize a search party?
I can go now. I can-- I can start--
You don't do anything.
I know this is stressful,
but it won't do anybody any good for you to panic.
I'll call in the authorities.
Professionals will handle this.
I just wanna help.
The last thing we need is for somebody else
to get lost out there.
I saw you have appointments for the spa later today.
Why don't you check in early?
Enjoy the steam room and try to relax?
"I'm Sean."
"I am mature, and I date happy people."
Well, Sean...
normal people don't just wake up one day
and decide to go to adult summer camp
by themselves.
Something's fishy!
Oh, please, someone find these.
Abby?
Hey, Rachel.
We're just on our way to our pottery class.
Well, that's really, really great, guys.
Yeah.
Hmm? You okay, sweetie?
Um...
Sean and Abby are lost in the woods.
And it's all my fault, because I brought her here
and I encouraged her to solve the mystery
of why Sean abandoned her at a bus stop.
Ooh, that sounds juicy.
- Not now, Bart. - Okay.
How long have they been out there?
Since yesterday.
Oh, no.
They spent the night outside.
On the ground.
She's got a bad back.
Oh, no.
Look at all these trails.
I-- I'm not gonna be able to do this by myself.
But maybe...
I could get some help
from the nice people that I have met here?
Please? Because she is my best friend
and she must be so scared out there.
Of course. We will help.
But... the pottery class.
Screw the class.
There are two people lost out there.
Huh!
After all this time,
sometimes, I forget just how selfless you can be.
Oh.
It's nothing really.
- O-kay. - Don't worry.
Rachel, we have been here many times.
We have other people we can ask.
- Let's go. - Ooh, what do we wear?
Oh! Searching outfits!
- I'm gonna buy a compass. - Okay!
Okay...
I got this.
Just another day.
Oh!
Ooh! Ah!
Abby?
Abby!
This... is why I don't do nature.
Oh!
Are you kidding me?
Ah, I see your plan's going really well.
Yeah.
Are you gonna keep laughing or are you gonna help me up?
Oh, well, lucky for you, I can do both.
Thank you, thank you.
Listen, Chuckles.
Ahh!
Pull harder!
Thank you, everyone,
for joining the unofficial Abby-and-Sean search party.
Randy wants us to wait for the Park Rangers,
but if I know Abby and her stomach,
we don't have that long.
True.
Her liking food is the only thing I know about her.
That, and the fact she scares me a little.
Oh, I know, right?
That's part of her charm.
Okay. So, it's safe to say that they took off from here,
but the problem is
that we don't know which one of these three trails they took.
So I think the best bet
is to break up into three groups,
and cover as much ground as we can.
Okay, you guys take the scenic route.
Go! Go, go, go!
You two can take the trail to, uh, "Devil's Backbone,"
because that sounds intense.
And B-and-B, you're with me.
We're gonna take the trail to Fern Peak.
All right.
Wait up!
Hey!
What are you doing here?
Coming with you.
Aren't you worried that your boss told me
I shouldn't do this?
Nah, we have a rapport.
Are you sure?
'Cause I don't want you to get in trouble.
Technically, you are supposed to be
in my cooking class right now, so I can say we went foraging.
Oh, yeah.
But also, probably best
if he never finds out, so let's get going.
Yeah. Okay. Let's go.
Abby? Sean!
This is officially
the worst day of my life.
What about
that time you thought bangs were a good idea?
I said worst day, not worst year.
Well, if it makes you feel any better,
I think the mud's a really good look.
It's very rugged.
Oh yeah? Yeah? Am I making it work?
Oh, yeah! Ten out of ten.
Yeah, I'm sorry I'm so closed off.
And I think it's amazing that you're doing this.
I'm sorry I keep threatening divorce.
You know I'd never actually do it.
It's okay.
Yeah, I-- I should take you out more.
My gosh, you just look so beautiful in nature.
This is it! This is totally it.
Oh, wow.
I mean, look at that view!
They definitely could've watched the sunset from here.
Right?
Should we look for clues or something?
Oh, wow, look at all this graffiti.
Hey, any chance JL and BA are their initials?
I don't think so, Bart.
It was a joke. It...
Oh, my gosh.
This is one of Abby's candies.
Ha! She was definitely here!
Oh, no.
What's wrong?
It's unopened.
Abby would never leave uneaten candy behind.
Well, maybe it's not hers.
Maybe she didn't know she dropped it.
Or maybe...
you two
are insane!
Because this
is definitely Abby's!
And Abby
is probably definitely dead!
Oh, no!
Do you think that she got eaten by a bear?
Don't worry, nobody's dead.
There aren't even bears in these woods.
I'm sure Abby's fine.
Well--
...how do you explain this, huh?
Huh?
Abby!
Oh, by the way, I think you might have
a hole in your pocket.
What?
Yeah. I-I found a bunch of these
when I came after ya.
Let me get this straight.
You hear me screaming while alone in the woods,
you come running to my rescue,
but you stop on the way to pick up trash?
Don't you remember?
I got our high school to implement recycling bins
before it was standard?
Do you tell people that out loud?
'Cause now I understand why you ended up with Bridgey.
Ah! So you are jealous of her.
No, I'm not j-jealous of her.
I am a little upset that you cleared out our clues.
- What? - Yeah. They're...
...clues.
I left a trail, so that people could find us.
These aren't clues, Abby, they're trash.
You littered throughout the entire forest.
Sean, I don't care about littering in the forest,
I care about being found.
And now, there is no way for people to track us.
I just don't think it's very realistic
to think anyone would find them.
But I know, for a fact,
that this will take 400 years to disintegrate.
400 years?
Don't... you dare
touch that.
Is that your stomach or mine?
I think it was both of ours.
We're doomed!
We're not doomed. We're just hungry.
Do you have any more candy?
Yeah, I think I have one more.
Nope. Gone!
Oh, great. You littered again.
Okay, Sean, I can't-- Ah!
Something touched my leg!
Well, it's a stream, Abby.
It was probably a fish or something.
It's the "or something" that worries me.
Fish!
We should catch one.
I'm hungry, but not that hungry.
You don't like fish?
I don't eat fish.
When I became a vet, I also became a vegetarian.
Of course you did.
Doing what I do,
you wouldn't feel right eating anything with a face.
Great. I'll give you the butt.
Let's go!
My parents were hippie therapists.
Colors are really big with them.
Oh, lucky.
Mine was an insurance adjustor and an accountant.
Hmm. So do you know what a write-off is?
- Not a chance. - Rachel!
We have to turn back.
There's no sign of them. We have been out here for hours.
Barbara.
I can't give up on my best friend.
Would you give up on Bart?
- Depends on the day. - Yeah.
Hey, Rachel. Look.
It's a candy wrapper!
It's empty!
That means that Abby could still be alive!
Ohh!
Thank god for your beautiful--
...good eyes.
Okay. Let's go!
"Screw the pottery class,
there's two people lost out there."
Barbara!
Okay, okay.
Come on. Come on.
Come-- Sean.
This is not working.
Are you even trying to herd them to me?
Come on, you know I'm conflicted about this.
Well, you already came up with the murder weapon,
so we're in this now together.
Can we not call it "murder"?
Fine.
I just want to meet the fish with my hand...
and then my stomach.
Okay, here they come.
Let's do it.
Okay, guys.
Come on, go-- get it.
Kill us, kill us!
Come on!
Oh, wow!
Maybe fishing can be entertaining.
Okay, funny guy, you know what? Why don't you try?
Show me what you're made of.
All right.
Watch this.
Okay, you ready?
- Yeah. - Here they come.
I'm gonna get 'em.
Okay, go!
Oh, hey! Whoa, whoa--
hey, hey!
Hey!
Did you get it?
Come on!
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yes!
Sorry.
I'm so happy we're gonna eat tonight!
Okay, that's it.
Also, a little mad that you got it on your first try.
Okay...
there you go.
Oh, I don't think I can.
Sean, the worst is over.
I've already killed him.
Do not let his death go to waste.
But...
We get it. Okay? We get it.
You have high moral standards.
You don't eat meat. You don't litter.
You don't talk badly about your exes.
But, Sean... look at where we are.
We are lost in the woods.
Okay? You can make exceptions for literal survival.
You do not know when you're gonna eat again.
- You're right. - Good.
Hmm.
Abby!
Mm-hmm? Good, right?
No! I hate it.
- What? - But, the stream--
there is a stream that runs through the resort.
This is probably the same one.
- Rachel's babbling brook? - Yeah.
We can just follow this the whole way back.
Oh!
You're a genius.
You can have my fish.
No. You only had, like, a piece.
Ah, I'm good.
Plus, I heard your stomach rumble.
Thanks.
Anything for you, Abs.
You know that.
You know, you're, like,
the only person that ever called me that.
I really miss it.
Me too.
I shouldn't have named him.
Remember that summer we tried to start our own business?
"Abby and Sean's Joke Service".
How could I forget?
Yeah.
Surprised not more people tried to hire us
to write jokes for them.
We were hilarious.
Yeah, we probably should have come up with a funnier name.
Ah. Fair critique.
What's wrong?
How do we even know this is the right river?
I don't recognize any of this.
Well, how many rivers
could there be running through this place?
We're gonna die out here.
We're not gonna die.
We'll just follow this,
and if it's wrong, we'll turn back.
I...
Abs! It will be fine.
It's not fine. Okay?
Stop saying it's gonna be fine, because it's not fine.
We could starve to death
before we even reach the end of this river!
I feel like we'll know before then
if it's right or wrong.
Okay, that's not helping.
You know what else isn't helpful?
Only focusing on the negative.
This is a bad situation, yes, but we can handle this together.
I'm not being negative, I'm being a realist.
Okay?
And I'm allowed to feel what I feel!
It's better than what you do.
Oh, yeah? What's that?
You act like some superior, moral, kind person,
when, really, you're just a coward.
- Excuse me? - You abandoned me!
If you loved me, you should've told me.
You shouldn't have left me.
Oh, okay, I knew you were still mad.
Look, I made a bad choice, but I was just a dumb kid.
You sent your mother
to tell me you weren't coming.
Do you know, that by the time she found me,
I was so lost,
- I was so confused-- - I know.
...And I was so upset--
I know.
I know, she really let me have it for that.
Good!
She thought that I should've faced you myself, and...
she was right.
She was always right.
Wait. What?
Yeah.
That's why I'm here.
She passed away four months ago.
Sean, I'm so sorry.
I don't know why I called you a coward.
I don't know what's wrong with me. I'm so sorry.
Are you okay?
I am.
Yeah.
I just miss her.
I always thought it was so cool--
the relationship you guys had.
You were so close.
It made me wish I had that kind of relationship
with my mom.
I mean, not my mom, exactly, but you know.
Yeah.
After she passed away, it made me...
I don't know,
take stock of what I wanted out of life.
I know that sounds cliche...
No, no...
...but it's true.
Makes total sense.
She was so full of life.
So sure of herself.
Yeah, she was.
I always wished I was more like her.
And after she passed, I realized
the things I wasn't sure about just couldn't stay.
Guessing one of those things was Bridgey?
We'd been drifting for a while, so...
she wasn't surprised.
Wow, it really was the first amicable break-up
in history.
After the funeral, I...
I took a leave from work and started Googling retreats.
I don't know, I thought if...
if I got out of my normal life, it might make me feel better.
And my mom always said, "Nature is the best medicine."
We took that a little too literally.
Has it helped?
Weirdly, yeah.
I mean, you're here.
It does feel...
strangely cosmic.
Yeah.
Actually, it feels...
strangely Rachel.
Always knowing what I need before I know it myself.
I haven't been doing so...
great.
Work's been very stressful
and, uh...
kinda just been...
isolating myself, I guess?
You know how bad my attitude can get.
Your attitude's never bothered me.
You've always been a cynic.
Or "a realist,"
as you put it.
But I know it's just 'cause
you felt like you had to be tough.
Oh, yeah, growing up on the mean streets of Hayward.
Oh, come on, Abby. You remember my mom.
I remember yours, too.
Well, that's unfortunate for you.
She didn't handle my dad bailing very well.
Or, like, at all, actually.
You are nothing like her.
You had to grow up faster than you should've, Abs.
Being strong does not make you mean,
and it definitely doesn't make you your mom.
That feels generous.
No way.
You got me down from the ropes course,
'cause, after all these years,
you still remembered I'm afraid of heights.
- Someone had to. - Yes.
But not everyone would've.
That's my point.
In high school, you were my biggest defender.
And now, you defend complete strangers for a living.
You know, even now,
when I feel like I have to be strong,
it's your voice I hear in my head.
Thank you.
How sad for you, though--
you always hearing my voice in your head.
Well...
looks like we're spending another night in the woods.
Guess we should make camp.
Rachel.
It is getting late.
We need to get back.
Not until I have proof of life, Bart.
Finally!
I have been worried sick.
Your friends came back from the hike
and told us that you had formed your own search party.
I knew Bradley and Justin were narcs.
Can never trust anyone wearing a fanny pack.
You could've been eaten by bears!
What?
Okay, yeah, I lied about the no-bears thing,
but the chance of a bear attack
is so slim--
But not impossible.
Randy.
Don't "Randy" me.
I am the most disappointed by you, Chef.
Glenn had to make the kale chips today,
and guess what?
They were disgusting.
Randy, it wasn't his fault.
He was just trying to help me.
Oh, Rachel.
I am so proud of you for taking charge.
You are
radiating with a confidence that you didn't have
three days ago.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
But I want us to be safe.
So I'll need you all to follow the rangers
back to the property.
We'll send out a search party at first light tomorrow.
Oh, good. My dogs are barking.
Well, this is why I say you should walk daily.
Ooh, maybe we should start doing that together.
Oh...
I'm game to stay out and search, if you are.
No.
I think that Randy's right.
Plus, we don't have gear to be out here overnight.
Ha. I may be a chef,
but I also used to be a Boy Scout,
so I've got flashlights, blankets,
and a satellite phone.
You have a satellite phone?
"Always be prepared."
Plus, I've seen Taken, like, 50 times.
So?
Are you up for breaking the rules?
You know what?
- Let's go. - Yeah.
Ah, it's colder than it was last night.
Don't worry. I got this.
- What is it? - Wah!
Oh!
Hey, hey, hey! You okay?
Ugh. No, I think I twisted my ankle.
Okay, can you try to stand?
No.
No! Ow. It hurts too much.
- All right, here. Ready? - Yeah.
- Ugh... - Ah.
Okay, let's move you closer to that tree.
No! That's where the snake was.
Abby, it's raining. We need the shelter.
And I hate to break it to you,
but that was just a garter snake.
Agh, still a snake!
Okay.
Ohh...
Oh, what if I can't walk at all tomorrow?
It's, um...
it's possible that that happens,
but if it does...
we'll figure it out.
I know I kept saying
that we were gonna die out here.
I didn't really mean it.
'Cause we won't.
I mean it now.
I'm scared.
We have no food.
We have no fire. It's raining.
What are we gonna do?
We are gonna take this one moment at a time...
and we're gonna get through this together.
You promise?
Promise.
Yeah. Okay.
Yeah.
So, why did you get into cooking?
My parents weren't big into home cooking,
and I got sick of eating chicken nuggets.
Oh! That's the only thing I know how to make.
I know, they're delicious.
Yeah.
Well, maybe after we find Abby and Sean,
we could have that cooking date.
What's up?
- Oh. - Oh!
It's looking less likely like they're dead.
Yeah.
Well...
it stopped raining.
I have to check out this Survivor show.
Look at this... lean-to.
It's fancy.
Abby, the day I didn't show up for our trip--
Oh, Sean, we don't have to talk about it anymore.
No, I know.
It's just...
I had finally gotten up the courage
to tell you how I felt.
I figured if we were gonna spend the whole summer
traveling together,
you should know the truth.
So...
I went to find you...
...and I saw you, at your car,
making out with Doofus Dylan.
Sean...
I felt like such an idiot
for thinking I had a chance with you,
and I was heartbroken,
and angry, and I...
...I just couldn't face you after that.
He did kiss me that day.
But...
had you stuck around...
you would've seen me tell him to get lost.
Huh.
I'm so sorry I left you at that bus stop.
I have regretted it for years.
You're not entirely to blame.
I did...
ignore all of your phone calls.
I wrote letters, too.
Yeah. I burned those.
Oh.
Yeah.
I was just so hurt,
and so mad at myself for feeling that way
and for...
...for missing you so much.
You missed me?
Every day.
What is it?
There's something in the forest.
I don't hear anything.
Abby?
- Rachel! - Abby!
You're alive!
Oh!
See? No bears!
- Bears were a possibility? - I've never been
happier to see another human in my life.
What are you doing here?
Rescuing you, obviously.
How did you guys find us?
Ah, it turns out Rachel is an excellent tracker.
I know a clue when I find one.
You found my candy trail?
I told you this would work!
Yes, but, technically, it means if we'd stayed put--
Shh! Just don't litter, okay?
Let's get you out of here.
Yeah. I can't walk.
Why, what happened? Are you okay?
Yeah, I will be.
- Ready? - One, two, three...
oh!
So, you spent the night in the woods with Hot Chef?
Yes. Looking for you.
Mm-hmm. And?
And...
falling in like?
I don't know.
I really like him.
What about you?
You and Sean seemed to be
getting really cozy in the woods,
and don't give me some line about feeling cold.
Well, it was very cold, Rachel.
Okay. Abby, sit down.
Spill.
You were right, he had an explanation for everything.
Which was?
Um, that he was in love with me.
- What? - Yeah.
He came to tell me
the night before we were supposed to leave,
and when he showed up, he thought that he saw
me getting back together with my ex.
That's why he didn't show.
Yeah, but he also didn't give me the chance
to tell him that I felt the same!
Oh, my gosh.
He's not your best friend...
he's the love of your life!
Ohh.
No.
That-- mm...
it's very complicated.
I don't know, it doesn't sound very complicated.
It sounds like you found someone that you like,
that you could potentially be with.
We don't even live in the same city.
You live five hours away from each other.
Four and a half, if you drive really fast.
Yeah, but we are very busy people, though.
Abby, this just sounds like a bunch of excuses.
It's not an excuse. I'm just--
I'm thinking logically here.
You know, I'm a realist.
A realist? Yeah, you don't say.
Abby...
I think, maybe this one time,
you should think with your heart,
and not your head.
They were lost in the woods for two nights.
Where's the Camembert?
Oh! There's our girl.
- Yes. - Safe and sound.
- Thank you. - You're welcome.
I am gonna go get my smoothie.
Maybe you should go talk to Sean.
Sure. You go smoothie-it-up with Hot Chef.
Hi!
- Abby. - Yes.
We are so glad you made it back safe.
Thank you. And I heard you guys joined the search party.
I'm so grateful. Thank you guys so much.
We should be thanking you!
Mm.
Your life-and-death circumstances
helped to cement our romance.
Ah.
Uh... would you mind if I borrowed her?
- They don't mind. - Right.
This shouldn't be weird, right?
No!
What's weird about two old friends reconnecting?
Exactly.
Tomorrow's the last day of the retreat.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah, I would say it went by fast,
but getting lost in the woods felt like an eternity.
Like, in a-- not in a bad way.
I-I had a good time.
- Oh, yeah? - Yeah.
Despite the fear of death?
Despite that.
So what are you...
...thinking is next
for-for us?
Oh.
I mean, I was thinking--
Sorry.
You go first.
Um...
I was just gonna say
it was so nice to reconnect, and, um...
Tch. Yeah, I just-- I never thought that was gonna happen.
Me either.
But, you know, we're different people now,
and different lives...
different cities.
Hey, people...
people make long distance work.
Um...
yeah, I just don't--
I don't know that I'm one of those people, Sean.
I just think we got caught up in the moment.
You know, the nostalgia.
I don't think we were thinking clearly.
Don't do that-- don't tell me what I was thinking.
Okay.
Can you honestly tell me, though, that...
with your recent break-up and the loss of your mom,
that you are thinking straight?
Do you really think it's fair, using that against me right now?
I just...
It makes sense that we would fall back into old patterns.
Old patterns?
That's what you think this was?
I don't know what this was.
But I do know
that it feels unrealistic to think that it could work.
Okay? You're gonna go back to your life.
I'm gonna go back to mine.
We're barely ever gonna see each other,
and this is just the truth
of how this will eventually play out.
Come on.
You know I'm right.
Yeah, you probably are.
But I'm so glad that we're friends again,
and we will always be friends.
Yeah.
Friends it is.
For the woman who survived the woods...
...and the woman who saved her.
Ooh.
Thank you.
You'd better marry that guy.
So there's lots of activities today.
There's even an aerial yoga class.
But I'm guessing you don't wanna do anything,
since you were trapped in the woods for two days.
You know what? This place isn't so bad.
Are you okay?
Yeah.
I mean, it didn't turn out exactly as I had expected,
but I had fun.
I'm almost afraid to ruin this moment
by signing us up for anything.
No. It's fine, Rachel.
You know what? I actually really do
wanna spend our last day with our new friends.
In fact, I'll do the honors and sign us up for something.
Active participation.
Did you hit your head in the woods?
Yeah. Several times.
Hi, Rachel. Whatcha doing?
I'm just looking for Sean.
He's gone.
Left this morning.
He's gone?
Without saying goodbye to Abby?
He wouldn't even give Randy a hug.
- Hey. - Hey. So...
I thought about what you said earlier this week,
and I signed us up for the talking circle.
Now, I can't promise I'm gonna do a lot of talking,
but I will definitely listen.
There's a big one this afternoon,
and it's followed by a fancy dinner under the stars.
Now, "old me" would've said let's just skip out early,
but... look at me now!
- That's great. - Yeah. Randy says
it's gonna be a really good way for me re-enter the real world
surrounded by joy and light.
Joy and light.
What's the matter?
I thought you'd be so happy about the talking circle.
Yeah. No, I am.
I am happy about the talking circle.
He left.
You're kidding.
Lucy said he left this morning.
I thought he had changed.
I thought he was different from when we were kids,
but he's exactly the same.
Nothing's changed. Nothing's changed.
Okay, I don't want you to take this the wrong way,
but...
what did you say to him last night?
Excuse me? You think this is my fault?
No. No, no, it's just that,
sometimes, you say things you don't really mean.
Rachel, I'm a lawyer.
Like, words are my thing. It's what I'm good at, okay?
Yes, but being a person with feelings and connection
is different than being a lawyer in a courtroom.
All I said was
it was really nice to reconnect,
and that we probably wouldn't see each other again,
because living far apart is hard,
a-a-and th-then I also said
that he probably wasn't thinking clearly
because of his recent break-up and the loss of his mom.
So you were playing Devil's advocate,
and trying to make your case,
rather than having an honest conversation
with someone who was trying to connect with you.
Sometimes, people
need to be able to say the things that are hard.
Yeah, but that doesn't always have to be you.
Listen.
Sean should not have left--
- No. - But I understand why he did.
What?
He has been trying to love you since you were kids,
and, yeah, he ran away physically, but...
...you're doing it emotionally.
Okay.
You're painting me out to be this person
who's incapable of having a connection.
You're my best friend.
I can't be that inept.
Well, you're different with me.
You have this wall up where people have a hard time
knowing where they stand with you.
You've been my friend for 15 years,
and you have this "realist" defense mechanism,
where it looks like you're just constantly having a bad time.
Y-y-y-you know
that I don't have a bad time with you, right?
I know.
Now.
It's just sometimes really nice to know how you really feel.
Tsk.
Rachel, I'm sorry.
You're like the best friend anybody could ever ask for.
I love you to bits.
I can tell you that every day if you need me to.
I love you, too. And I know, I know.
It's just so nice to hear you say it out loud.
I am gonna have to be the one to reach out to Sean, aren't I?
Yeah.
Welcome.
It is so nice to see everybody on our last day together.
Usually, we use this time to say what we're grateful for
and what we learned this week.
Would anyone like to go first?
Abby?
What a surprise.
Please, go ahead.
Are you sure?
Yeah. I'm just gonna use my words.
Okay.
Hi, everybody.
Uh, I just...
um...
It's funny, at work, I'm really good
at articulating exactly what needs to be said,
but I guess, uh...
doing a job that's based in facts
doesn't necessarily translate
to speaking what's in your heart.
My best friend, Rachel, taught me that,
like, an hour ago.
She's actually who I'm most grateful for...
...and who I learn from every day.
Thank you, Rachel.
Thank you, Randy.
And, uh, thank you, everybody.
I did not want to come to this camp.
Uh, "wilderness retreat".
So sorry-- wilderness retreat.
Uh, but...
this week has been, um...
I mean, even getting lost in the woods for two days
has been an eye-opening experience.
And, um...
I'm just really grateful
for what this week has brought me.
Yeah. So that-- that's all.
That's it. That's all I got.
Did I do that right?
- You did great. - Oh, good.
Abby, I am so proud of you.
Okay.
Oh!
Oh, we are doing it.
Ooh!
Can't breathe, guys. Can't breathe, can't breathe.
I'm sorry.
Barb. Please.
Do you need any help?
Hmm? Oh.
Uh, no, I'm good. Thank you.
You sure?
'Cause you've been staring at the same bag of hot chips
for, like, 20 minutes.
Just trying to decide if I should get 'em.
Well, go for it, man. They're literally 99 cents.
Yeah, but I haven't had these since high school.
I remember them as being the greatest snack in the world,
but...
maybe now they'd be disappointing.
Or...
maybe it's possible that, after all these years,
they haven't changed a bit,
which seems like it would be great,
but, actually, it's worse.
Dang, that's a real lose-lose.
Just don't get any chips at all.
Yeah, that was my plan.
But doesn't that make me a coward?
Nah. I say leave the past in the past.
Remember the chips how they were, you know?
I'm not talking about chips.
Sorry.
It's a girl.
I'm just trying not to get my heart broken.
Oof.
Then that changes my advice completely.
Hey! Where have you been?
Oh, just talking to Chef.
You two going steady yet?
No.
We were just discussing the theme for tonight's dinner.
Oh, there's a theme?
It sort of turned into a little dance.
I'm gonna wear a dress-- really lean into it.
I didn't bring a dress.
I didn't either,
but lucky for us...
Barb had a few to spare.
Barb?
Mm-hmm.
And what's the emotional significance of the dress?
Abby...
you don't have to read into everything.
It's just a pretty dress.
Okay. Fine. I'll wear the dress.
But you know how I feel about dances.
I've changed a lot this week,
but I have not changed that much, okay?
Well, I think you are really gonna like this one.
And, rumor has it, there will be carbs.
Give me the dress, I'll be ready in five.
No, wait. I just wanna do your hair.
Oh, no, I'm just gonna curl it.
That's fine. I just wanna add a little something.
Whoa! Is that a butterfly clip?
Is the theme of tonight "My Teenage Nightmare"?
I found these in the lost-and-found.
Apparently, this used to be an actual summer camp.
And guess who used to work here?
Oh, no, Randy?
Randy.
- Of course he did. - Just stay calm.
Okay, what is this?
And why does it feel like high school?
Just go with it.
- Bye! - Wha...
Hi.
Okay, what is this?
There's something I've been meaning to ask you
for a long time.
Okay?
Will you dance with me?
Absolutely.
Did you do all this?
Oh, I had a little help.
Mm-hmm.
I'm sad that I'm leaving tomorrow.
Well, you don't live too far.
Maybe we could see each other again?
I'll teach you how to make a pizza.
Pizza?
That is very involved.
And it takes a very long time.
Especially if you make everything from scratch.
Oh, then I'm in.
Wow. It can be that simple.
Yeah, not everyone has to wait for 17 years.
I'm sorry I'm still so bad at telling people how I feel.
No, I'm sorry, too.
I've known you since we were kids,
and, somehow, I still forget
you're better at showing people how you feel
rather than saying it.
So...
you understood what I meant when I texted you
that Ardendale's in between Hayward and L.A.?
I did.
It meant a lot that you were willing to meet me halfway.
But...
it wasn't necessary.
No, it is.
I-I mean, I-I know that long distance is a lot of work,
and I want you to know that I'm not afraid.
It is a lot of work.
But...
...there's nothing really keeping me in Hayward anymore.
I can open a practice anywhere.
I mean, the only reason I opened one in Hayward
was to be close to my mom.
You'd move to L.A.?
Yeah.
Are you serious-- you'd move to L.A. for me?
Abs, I'd do anything for you.
You know that.
I'm sorry I disappeared without saying goodbye.
It'll never happen again.
It better not.
Ahem. Whoo. I think I'm about to say what I really feel.
Hmm! Can't wait.
I love you.
I know.
I love you, too.
