[Amy] About a year ago,
not long after we broke up...
I remember New York suffered a massive snowstorm.
All the grocery stores had run out of supplies.
And every channel on TV was reporting the same news,
about the weather.
I was lying in bed that morning...
when all of a sudden I thought about the plants
being kept by the window.
When I went to check on them,
I saw that they had all withered away.
I touched one of the leaves and watched as it
cracked into pieces and fell...
just like the snow outside.
It was ugly-beautiful.
Then I noticed right by the stem,
there was a...
dead worm.
It was half curled up.
Frozen to death.
I imagined the worm cracking in two,
just like the leaf.
The longer I looked at it...
the worse I felt.
Since then, I've lost the urge
to eat anything.
[Dr. Pavel] It seems that your illness may stem
from the past trauma of your breakup.
With the proper treatment, I believe we will be
able to make progress,
as long as you follow procedure.
Also, having a strong support system will help.
But I'm a food editor.
It's my job to eat.
[sighs]
[smooth jazz instrumental, bar in]
[woman] You're finally here and you look amazing!
Thanks. You, too.
[woman] Let me introduce you to my fiancé.
Nice to meet you.
[fiancé] She’s told me so much about you.
- Has she now? - [woman] Mm-hmm.
[fiancé] Congratulations on the new book.
- Thank you. - Oh, where's your roommate?
What was her name again?
She was such a hardcore foodie,
even a harsher critic than you.
She moved to Boston last year
so we haven't really kept in t...
[woman] Oh, that's Churi!
Doesn't that dress look terrible on her?
Make sure you try the sliders. They’re to die for.
Baby, I told you to hold my hand
so she sees the ring!
Hey, girl!
[Peter] Amy!
Are you okay? You look drunk.
[Amy] I'm fine, Peter.
I just have a slight headache.
And can you keep your voice down?
Drunk people always claim they're not really drunk.
You know the best way to tell?
[tapping]
Tap your front teeth,
like this, see?
And if you don't feel anything,
then you're definitely drunk, look.

[faint radio dispatch chatter]
[woman] All the different things
that I could possibly have done.
[man] Yeah.
I would never do that. I would never do that to you.
And you went and you fucking did this to me!

I need you to do me a huge favor.
Let me guess, you want me to write
another article that coincides with the new episode.
And you want it by tonight so that your writers
have something to work off of.
Not an article this time. [chuckles]
[Amy] Are you gonna pay me overtime?
I can buy you dinner.
All right, look, here's the thing.
We may be short a guest for this week's episode.
And of course, I thought of you.
I mean, what better than a celebrity guest
paired with our celebrity host?
Right? You're famous among the younger demographic,
aren't you?
I don't know. Am I?
Yes, with your book and...
everything. Come on, it'll be great.
You really want me to act?
Yeah, why not?
You get way more exposure
in front of the camera than behind.
Well, which restaurant is this?
And more importantly, what story am I telling?
It's all right in there.
A great love that began...
- With a bowl... - With a bowl of pho?
Yes.
I'm known for writing
about Michelin-starred restaurants,
not hole-in-the-wall pho places.
Now, we cater to audiences from all walks of life.
Plus, because we work together, I was hoping you'd be
more understanding of our situation?
- Bob. - [whimpering] Please.
Well, who's this Angel Li?
I thought you said there was a celebrity host.
She is huge... in China.
And who’s playing my boyfriend?
[Robert] Why? Do you have a new one?
No.

What's that look?
You've gotta be kidding me.
Excellent.

Looks like you're up next.
You want to go get some makeup?
I am in makeup.
[Robert] Mm...
I can remember the first time we came here.
It was Christmas Eve and snowing heavily.
He picked me up after work
and we came upon this tiny little pho restaurant.
We didn't have much money, so we couldn't afford
a fancy Christmas dinner.
Maybe it was because of the holidays,
but we were the only customers here that night.
It may not seem like much,
but for me, that night was a blessing.
I can't think of anything better
than sharing a warm bowl of delicious pho
on a cold winter's night with the one I love.
[Harlowe] And cut! All right, that was great. Moving on.
How's my makeup?
Looks great.
Something wrong?
[Harlowe] Okay, we're gonna get a close up
of the two of you eating, all right?
You know, in fact, uh, why don’t you feed each other?
Yeah? Okay.
And here we go.
Okay, all right, closer.
No, closer...
- [thumping] - And cut.
All right. I’m good. Moving on.
Oh, my God. Are... Are you okay?
I'm fine, really.
I... I just haven't slept enough.
Did you vomit today?
What, no?
Do you need to go to the hospital?
I... I just need some rest.
- I'll take her back. - [Robert] Thanks, man.

You know what?
Don't waste your time with hospital food.
I can bring some porridge over.

That was my boyfriend.
When he heard you were ill,
he was very concerned and wanted to come visit.
Would you like that?

Honestly, I think we've had enough articles
introducing fancy restaurants around the city.
Let's feature more hidden gems, like the pho house.
Exquisite taste at an affordable price.
You used to demand we only profile
fancy restaurants.
What happened during the taping of the episode?
Trust me on this.
We need to expand our point of view.
Okay.
[Peter] Hi.
This is chicken soup.
Very good for digestion.
You made this yourself?
Of course.
Feel sick?

Well... the main reason is because...
It’s okay.

Growing up, my mom taught at a middle school

Sorry about that.
[interviewer] No problem. Let's keep going.
So, your father started here in the food industry.
- Mm-hmm. - Did that spark an interest

He always had me taste test new dishes for him, too.

Are you going to apply for another visa

It's a long process.
I'll need to look for some work in the meantime.

Mia. Mia, Mia, Mia.
- Oh, my God. - Mia! Stay calm.
- I’m calling 9-1-1. - [Vivian] No!
We can’t have them here right now.
Just give her some time. I’ll take her to the hospital
- if things get worse. - [Nina] Stay with us.
[Vivian] Mia, come on. Mia.
What the hell did you give her?
Come on, Mia, come on, come on.
- [Nina] Mia. - [Vivian] Come on, breathe.
Breathe. Come on, Mia...
[whimpering]
[EDM music]
You okay?
How is she?
Resting.
Hey, look. Don’t let it get to you.
I mean, there’s always a risk involved no matter what we do.
I’m gonna check back inside.
I’ll let them know you’re done for the night.
[Nina] Thank you.

I can’t believe you’re selling her.
Yeah, well, she's kick-starting the future.
[chuckles]
So, what, it's a the deli you’re opening?
No, thinking about expanding the menu a little bit.
Wait, you’re still gonna have my lox and cream cheese?
[Ian laughs] Of course. It’s your favorite.
You got a name yet?
A couple ideas.
Like what?
[Ian] Ah. The obvious choice is "Ian's."
- Suits my ego. - Mm-hm.
But, um... you know, I kind of prefer "Nina's."
You know what I do.
Why do you still want to be with me?
I love you. Just as you are.
I know it isn't much, but uh... It's a promise.
I wanna join you.
I'll finish off the month.
And I'll quit.
And I’ll sell my purses to help you pay...
Nah, nah, you don't have to do that.
I mean, it's going to be tough at the beginning but...
I want to.
It's going to be a new start for us.
Together.

[woman] Do you know her?
[Kevin] Family friend staying here temporarily.
- Where's Dad? - Upstairs.
Where else would he be?
Shouldn't you be closing out the cash register, then?
Wait, do you work here?
No, I told you. I own this place.
That's not what it sounds like.
[thumping]
Dad’s resting.
Who's that guy you’ve been
sneaking around with? One of your customers?
No, but I recognized that girl downstairs from work.
She said this is really expensive.
How much money you making fucking all of those strangers?
More money than you skipping out on school.
You holding out on us?
- Us? - Me, Mom and Dad?
Give me a break.
Like you're helping out much.
You know, I've been doing you a real favor
keeping all this to myself.
- If Dad were to find out... - We had a deal.
We don't get into each other’s business.
Well, now it’s gonna cost you.
Get out of my room.
- If you want me to keep quiet... - Get the fuck out of my room.
[horns honking]
[speaking in Chinese]
Ian.
What about your father's medicine?
I'll continue to chip in, but I can't pay for everything.
Because you won't be making enough
at some start up restaurant.
No, because this restaurant makes enough.
For the medicine and for Kevin.
Kevin needs to focus on school.
Kevin doesn't even care about school.
He barely goes. Stop lying to yourself!
Huh?
My son has a chance to become something you never could.
Maybe.
That's because you never gave me the chance.
What has gotten into you?
She's pregnant.
[gentle music]
You okay?
At least pretend you’re enjoying yourself.
They won’t last another half hour.
[man] Sweetie, scoop it over. Come on.
Come on, faster.
Congratulations.
You always got my...
[Vivian] Oh, congratulations. We gotta take a shot.
All right. Take it. Take it, man.
- Dude, man. - You want one?
Chicks don’t get married for money.
They get divorced for money.
- Okay? Watch out. - [Vivian] All right.
[Peter] Are you sure I can’t have one more.
[Nina] No, no, no, no more.
[Peter] You’re so good to me.
[retching & coughing]
[thud]
You okay?
- [Peter retches] - Hey. You okay?
[Peter] Oh, shit.
I’m sorry. I’ll get you another one.
[Nina] A little help with your friend, right here?
[man] Whoo! All right. Come here.
- Sorry. - Oh, sorry,
he’s a bit of a light weight.
Hey... Where were you, man? I missed you...
Hey, hey, hey. Don’t forget your jacket.
Oh. Oh, thank you.
Oh, oh, I’m getting married. Did you know that?
Congratulations!
[Peter] Woo-hoo! It finally worked.
Don’t let her see you like this.
[Ian] What?
[Nina] Yeah...
[Ian laughs] You are insane.
Did it work?
To be continued?
[Ian] They're gonna figure out it's fake sooner or later.
We’ll deal with it when we get there.
And the marriage? Did you mean that?
No, no, no, no, no. Hey, Nina.
Because...
I'm serious, if you are.
My dad would never approve it.
And I'm not even sure if they believe me.
They don't... Or, [indistinct]
because Nina, I am asking you, right here...
Right now.
Will you marry me?

Angel?

[Angel whimpers]
Hey. It's Amy from the show.
Amy.
I accidentally fell asleep waiting for a friend.
I live right next door.
Do you want to come inside
and get a cup of coffee or something?
Yeah. Sure.
[Amy] By the way, we finished editing the episode.
You look really great.
And thank you again for covering for me when I...
Mm, don't mention it.
Are you pregnant, too?
No, that's not mine. Trust me.
I'm as confused as you are.
Too?
Are you gonna keep waiting for him?
I don't want to wait anymore.
I have a husband who treats me well
but there is no love in our marriage.
I had a lover who I thought understood me
and I felt much happier with him.
At least I thought I did.
I never knew we disagreed so much on our future.
I don't know how I can go back to my husband.
[sighs]
I think the first step in solving problems
like this is to know what you really want.
Would you choose love...
Or freedom?
[sighs]
Why not both?
[objects clattering]
[tense music]
No, no...
Where's Kevin? How can he do this?
What... What? Let go of me.
Kevin has nothing to do with those boys.
- Was it you? - They said you owed them
some money so they took some of your stuff as payback.
[Nina] Who are they?
You know, if they never came today,
I would never find out how much money
you've been keeping from us!
Hey, hey, hey! [indistinct] Huh?
[Nina] Fuck!
[indistinct] You okay?
[phone vibrating]
[sobbing quietly]
[phone buzzing]
I know an urgent message can only mean one thing.
You're pregnant! That was fast.
Now, we for sure have to get married.
Did you ask her to marry you, too?
There’s your fucking answer.
How about your parents?
How did they feel when you told them you had a boyfriend?
What?
They really want you to get married, don't they?
How dare you bring up my parents?
I'm just saying I know how these things are.
[Nina] What is that supposed to mean?
- [sighs] Nothing. - [knocking]
Sorry for interrupting.
Uh, Bob wants you to re-record some lines...
Why do you want to get married so badly anyway?
You know, I'll just tell him this is a bad time.
I'm not young or pretty like the other girls in the office.
I'm not rich, either.
[Peter] Because, I love you.
Love is love. I can't explain it.
Do you love me, or do you love my citizenship?
Is your visa expired?
You're just full of secrets, aren't you?
Am I the first girl you've tried this on?
To be honest, I should thank you.
It's men like you that make me thankful to be lesbian.

I got this.
You can't be in here.
Nina. What is going on?
You know, Ian is looking for you.
Is he here?
No. But he's trying to find you.
Answer your phone.
I can't.
He took everything.
Who? Who took everything?
Look, you really can't be in here like this.
I'll try and cover for you, just...
head out to the back so you won't get us both in trouble.
- Okay. - All right, here.
I’ll help you up.
Okay, yeah.
Good girl.

- Give me my necklace back. - Wait, stop!
Wait... wait! Get her off of me!
- Someone stop! - Please, hey!
- Back off! - [thud]
Nina?
You didn’t come home last night.
Those late night shoots are something else.
I don't know how you do it.
Yes, it's tiring. But part of the job.
As long as you enjoy it.
Where’d you stay?
They filmed upstate.
We went over time and spent the night
so they could continue shooting more today.
Did you miss me?
Of course.
You could just call me next time.
Well, I figured you might be on set filming
so best not to bother you.
Hey, look at me.
Yes?
Please, just look at me.
What’s wrong, dear?
I'm gonna get ready for bed. You coming?
No, I think I'll stay here for a while.
See what happens.
