Hearts Around the Table: Kiki's Fourth Ingredient (2025) Movie Script
Thank you.
Have a great day.
Hi Michaela.
I made chocolate
zucchini muffins again.
What can I say?
Zucchini's in season.
My favorite season.
These are your best.
Thank you.
But I am surprised
you made this order
with all the wedding
hubbub happening this week.
Oh, all is calm on
the wedding front.
Honestly, Jenna is the most
organized person I know.
Right, but aren't you
catering the wedding?
Yeah...
But I cook for
hundreds of people
every lunch hour out
of my food truck.
So, how hard can it be?
Kiki, this is your
sister's wedding.
Jenna, you know the one who
eats and breathes perfection?
Right. Yeah.
Well, I've almost finished
up on the menu here
and I'm sure that Jenna and
Andrew are going to love it.
I'm sure too.
But just in case you
need something special,
just give me a ring and I will
open up for you after hours.
Thank you.
I really appreciate that but
I think I should be fine.
Okay, I got to run
but I'll see you soon.
Sorry!
Umm...
She seems in a hurry.
So, I'll take that
and then, uh...
A dozen of whatever
smells so good.
- And there you go.
- Thank you.
That's fresh chocolate
zucchini muffins.
You just bumped into the chef.
It almost doesn't feel real.
Like in four days,
I'll be married!
- Yeah you are!
- Cheers to that!
Okay, so Jenna, be honest.
When you and Andrew were
dating in high school,
did you ever think
that one day you two
would be getting married?
Yeah, of course she did!
She had Mrs. Jenna Clarington
scribbled on every single
one of her binders.
I did not!
Oh come on!
Oh, I totally remember that!
Oh, come on Jenna,
you cannot deny that!
But look how far
you guys have come.
I mean, we should
all be so lucky to
marry our best friend
from high school.
I still have so many
balls in the air.
I just hope everything
falls into place.
Of course it will.
You've planned this whole thing,
so now you just get to sit
back, relax and enjoy yourself.
Speaking of enjoyment,
you do have a few more
days to find a date.
Oh no. Aw...
Come on.
Any guy would be
lucky to date you.
Thank you.
But seriously, we did
finalize the seating chart,
we saved one spot, just
in case, just saying.
I am fine on my own, okay.
It's just, look I'm
catering this wedding
so I don't have any time to
be spending with a date.
Well you better find some
time to shake it with me
on the dance floor after dinner.
Oh, I have been
practicing my dance moves.
Just need to make sure
that I have enough energy
at the end of the night.
Kiki, is everything
okay with the catering?
Of course!
Cooking is my favorite
thing to do for our family.
Yeah, but cooking for us on
Sunday dinners is one thing.
I mean, catering
an entire wedding.
That's a lot of pressure.
I wouldn't have
it any other way.
Okay.
Well I can't wait to
taste what you cook up.
Me too.
Andrew and I know it's
going to be amazing.
Oh, well, thanks for the
vote of confidence in there.
Oh, just give me...
Why would they be calling?
One sec.
Hello?
Yeah.
No, no, look. I need the
salmon delivered by Friday.
Kiki! You're missing
all the fun!
Okay, yeah, I'll be right there.
You've got to be kidding me!
What's going on out there?
Ah, it's just Josh.
He's trying to do
some recon for Andrew.
Don't worry, I won't
tell him anything!
Aren't the groomsmen supposed
to be having a lunch
to welcome the best man?
Live in the moment, Josh!
I can't
come to the phone right now.
Please leave a message.
Unbelievable!
In high school my sisters
would ask my opinion
on prom dresses all the time.
You think I wanted to
answer them, but I did.
And now... Nothing!
It's like I've been shut out.
Sounds like you're being
punished there pal.
Hey, thanks for doing
some recon for me, though.
I appreciate it.
I haven't been around the
family for that long,
but even I know the sisters
are always together.
All four of them right?
You've certainly lifted Shari's
spirits over the last few weeks.
And a happy Shari is a
happy life for all of us.
Hey, there he is!
Hey hey hey hey hey hey hey!
Andrew!
Buddy, it's so good to see you!
Hey, the best man!
The best wing man since,
what, grade school?
- That's right.
- Yeah.
- Clay, this is Evan.
- How you doing, man.
And this is Josh.
Hey, it's great to meet you.
I've heard a lot.
That is a total lie.
I've heard nothing.
Well, you guys
being taken care of?
Because I have connections.
Clay is being modest.
He is, in fact,
the executive chef
and owner of this restaurant.
Anyway, what's the plan
for the bachelor party?
Ah, no plans.
Andrew thought it might be fun
to just catch up for awhile.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
Come on! We've got
to do something, right?
It's tradition.
You know, I'm not so much of
a fan of the traditional stag.
But if you want to throw
something together,
I'm sure we could squeeze it in.
Okay.
Is that mischief I see, Evan?
On this face?
I'm calling them again.
And they're going to
pick up this time.
You're relentless.
You are not getting
a peek at the dress!
I'm not calling for that.
Really?
Not this time.
I just wanted you to know that
you have a stand-up boyfriend.
He's planning a
bachelor party for Andrew.
Oh, is he?
Okay, you guys ready out there?
Oh oh oh!
I guess since I'm
already on the call,
you might as well just let
me see Jenna for one minute.
No!
Okay, now, that
is perfect, yeah.
I will call you later.
All right. This party
is for sisters only.
No no. Don't be mean. Come on!
- Love you. Bye.
- Wait wait wait!
Oh, it's Angie.
- Hey!
- How's it going?
I can't believe I'm not there
but Rory and Gina have teachers'
conferences this morning.
Ah, that's okay.
You were here when she got it.
Yeah, and at the
twenty other stores
until she found the one.
Okay. You guys ready?
Well?
Ahhhh!
What do you think?
Oh! Stunning! Stunning!
It's gorgeous!
- Stunning!
- It's gorgeous!
It's real.
It's really happening!
I'm getting married!
Yeah, you are.
I just wish my mom
was here to see this.
I'm sure she's watching
and smiling down on you.
You're my mom too, Angie.
I'm so lucky to have you all.
We're all here for you.
Always.
There's nothing I can
do to change the past.
That's right, so let's focus on
that bright future of yours.
Well, I have some
serious flower prep to do,
so I'll see you soon, my Hearts!
Bye!
I'll see you at the house.
There's just something I've
got to figure out first.
Kiki!
I'll be there as
soon as I can, okay!
- I love you.
- I love you.
I love you!
Don't work too hard.
You must be able to get
salmon from another supplier.
No, no. It has to
be salmon, okay.
It's the bride's favorite
and I need this bridal dinner
to be memorable and meaningful.
Okay, if you can't get it
I'll just have to think
of something else.
Oh wow!
These look amazing.
Thank you so much for everything
you're doing for the wedding.
I wouldn't be here without you.
Well, supporting you,
nurturing you,
watching you bloom on your own,
it's been an absolute joy
being your foster mom.
Angie, there something
I wanted to ask you.
Would you walk me
down the aisle?
It'd really mean a lot to
me to have you by my side,
like you've always been.
I would love to.
Oh Jenna.
Ah, sorry.
I don't know why I
keep tearing up today.
Oh, honey, this is one of the
biggest events of your life.
It's bound to bring
up a lot of feelings.
I just wasn't expecting I'd
miss my mom so much, you know?
There's something I've
been meaning to give you.
I was going to save this
for your wedding day, but,
I think this might connect
you to the something old.
It came with you in that big box
when you arrived at the
house all those years ago.
Oh wow.
It's beautiful.
I believe it was your mother's.
I don't remember it.
But it's lovely.
What's this?
Is that my mom?
Look how young she is.
Nineteen or twenty, I'd say.
Look at her smile!
Beautiful.
And she's with a very
handsome young man.
I've never seen
this picture before.
They look so happy.
Jenna, are you okay?
I didn't know that
photo would be in there.
Oh, yeah.
I just haven't thought
about my father in years.
But he clearly hasn't
thought of me either, so.
I have a great family now.
My chosen family.
You sure do.
No, no, no no no no...
Can I give you a hand?
You sure you got
a hand to spare?
Always do.
It just takes a
little rebalancing.
Thank you.
Um, I promised Andrew
I'd drop this off.
It's you, from the market.
Your chocolate and zucchini
combination was great.
You have a real gift.
Thank you.
Wait until you try my pizza!
Is that...
That's takeout from 7 Basil!
Yeah.
Well, that's fancy!
I didn't even think restaurants
like that did take out.
Well, when you own the place,
they let you
bend the rules
from time to time.
You own 7 Basil?
Yeah. I'm Clay.
I'm the best man.
I'm Kiki.
Oh, you're Jenna's sister!
Yeah yeah yeah!
I've heard so much about you.
You're catering
the wedding, right?
Well, I, I own a restaurant...
It's a food truck.
Well, currently, I'm
specializing...
Pizza?
Here, why don't
you hand me that?
After you.
I have to say, I'm
curious to see how
a food truck chef is going
to serve a hundred people
appetizers and a
formal plated dinner.
Oh, well, we'll see, won't we!
I didn't mean anything by that.
Food's here!
It's Andrew. He wants me
to meet him in an hour.
Oh, that's too bad.
I was going to ask if
you would mentor me.
Oh, well, I would
totally do that.
I'm kidding.
I got this.
Okay, well, consider
it an open invitation.
Oh, smells amazing!
- Hey, Angie?
- Yes.
Nice to finally meet you.
Indeed.
This is Clay. He can't stay.
Because Andrew calls.
Well, groom takes priority
over Sunday Supper
this week, at least.
Yes.
Well, ah, call me
if you need me.
Thanks, I will.
Oh, he seems nice.
And he brought food.
Winning combination.
Hmm. He's something, all right.
I brought your favorite.
Oh, yes! Oh my gosh.
And then, he just dropped his
five star take out and took off!
Okay.
Ah, I'm not sure what I'm
supposed to be mad about.
That take out was pretty good.
Pretty good?
It was great.
But I have been test
cooking for hours.
And now, the dinner I wanted
to do for Jenna's wedding
isn't going to turn out
the way I wanted it to,
and I have three days to
come up with a whole new menu
and game plan.
So, it's the catering
that's the problem.
I've never catered for a
hundred people before,
and I've definitely don't
need someone judging me.
Kiki, he's also just a person.
And he seems like
a really nice guy.
Yeah... I suppose.
Kiki, if anyone can
do this, it's you.
And I think that Clay would
be a great industry contact.
Just think about
what Angie would say.
Be true to yourself,
but don't be afraid
to ask for some help.
I know.
And he is a great resource.
It's just...
I know.
He is way too good looking.
No.
I mean, yes he is, but what
I was going to say is,
I feel awkward asking
anyone for help.
Well, if you're
going to ask anyone,
it might as well
be the cute guy.
Very funny.
Well, I guess I
better get going.
Well, can you just please
promise me one thing?
Please try and get
some sleep tonight.
Thank you.
For trying to keep me balanced.
You're welcome, I think.
See you soon.
He's insisting!
I told him I didn't
need a bachelor party.
It sounds like Evan's just
trying to support you.
Knowing him, he's probably just
going to go to a work out class
or do push ups all night.
He's just trying to
get to know you better.
He's making an effort to
be a part of the family.
Yeah, I guess so.
Come on, just go out!
Embrace the fun.
You're only going
to get married once.
You're right about that.
Sorry, one sec.
Well, will you look who it is!
Hello Mother!
Andrew. I'm so
glad you picked up.
Look, I was chatting with
Betty at yoga this week,
and since your
brother can't come
because of the big
Hong Kong deal,
I sort of invited
her to the wedding.
Mom, we've been over this.
Jenna and I have already
finalized the guest list.
I'm so sorry.
I thought with John not coming,
Betty could take his spot.
Mom, we really
appreciate your opinions,
but Jenn and I have everything
organized and under control
over here.
Andrew, I want you to
have the most special day.
I have some ideas for
the mother-son dance.
Mom...
Ah ah ah. There are
traditions to be honored.
We can talk about this
dance another time, okay.
What about Jenna's
family traditions?
Are they being honored?
Look, whatever Jenna wants to do
is how we're going
to do it, okay.
End of discussion.
This is Jenna's day.
Don't forget that.
Of course. I understand.
It's going
to be a wonderful day.
Bye, dear.
Okay, bye.
I'm going to get some air.
Oh, Jenna. I'm so sorry.
Jenna...
Well, she was
fine until my mother called.
And I know my mom can
be very opinionated,
which has been hard on Jenna.
I shouldn't have let her
change the mother-son dance.
Well, I think this is less
about you and your mom
and more about Jenna.
Do you think she still wants
to go ahead with the wedding?
I don't doubt it for a minute.
Leave it to me. I'm going
to make a few calls.
I think I might know
how to help Jenna
find what she's looking for.
Thank you, Angie.
Kiki!
Fancy meeting you here.
Umm... I could say the same.
Don't you have people that
deliver your produce for you?
When I can I like to
come and pick out
the fresh, local ingredients
for the evening's menu myself.
How are the strawberries?
Ah, surprisingly sweet actually
for this time of year.
But the dessert I want
to do for the wedding
might actually work
out as planned.
Well, that's great to hear.
And, ah, so how's everything
shaping up for you for Saturday?
Um...
It's coming along.
Just a few bumps
along the road, but
nothing that I can't handle.
Well, you're very brave.
I wouldn't take on this
catering job myself.
Really?
But Andrew's your
best friend and
you wouldn't cook for
him on his wedding day?
That's exactly the
reason why not.
So, it's beneath you then?
No! No no no, I just...
I just want to be
there on the big day,
not working the big day.
Well, cooking isn't work to me.
Oh, that's true but it's
really, it's a lot of time.
Yeah, but time spent doing
something wonderful for Jenna.
Yeah, but no one
remembers an appetizer,
they remember how they
felt and who was there.
So I just, I just
want to be there,
standing next to my best friend.
Well, I will be there,
nourishing my family.
I think it's an honor to cook
for my sister at her wedding.
And it is. I just, you
don't have to do it.
I want to!
Okay.
Look, Jenna asked me,
and I won't let her down.
I hope not.
Are these the wise and
supportive words of a mentor?
No.
Talking me out of doing a job?
Disappointing my family?
No no no.
It's not what I meant.
I'm just trying to be realistic
and practical here and...
You don't know me or
what I'm capable of.
I guess not.
Well, great pep talk.
So I guess I'll see
you at the wedding.
Kiki, I...
I'm just really
excited to get in there
and use that industrial oven.
I'm sorry, what?
Okay, but surely you can
have someone come in
and fix it before then.
Okay, could you, could you
have another one brought in?
No I don't have one.
Okay, if there's no
replacement I'll just,
I'll just have to come
up with something else.
No. A stovetop is not going
to cut it, I'm afraid.
What would be helpful
is a functioning oven.
Okay, yeah. Thanks.
Thanks for your help.
Hello.
Hi Cynthia, it's Angie calling.
Angie! It's been a bit
since we caught up.
Tell me about Rory.
Has he settled in?
Rory is thriving now.
And he's doing well in school.
He's even on the track team.
Ah! Seems you're working
your Angie magic again.
Well I certainly never give up.
I'm actually not
calling about Rory.
It's about my Jenna.
You placed her with me
about twenty years ago
after her mom passed.
Uh huh. That's when
you and I met.
You called because you saw a
lost girl sitting on a bench.
Your instincts were right.
She's getting
married this weekend!
That's wonderful!
The wedding has brought up
some issues about her past
and I was wondering if
you had any information
about her father?
Hmm. Let's see.
There's not much here.
Just his name...
Theo Whitaker.
Theo. Last known address?
Well, there's nothing
in the computer.
But let me find
the old paper file.
One sec.
Whitaker... Whitaker...
Ah, here it is.
Good thing we never get rid
of any paperwork over here!
Let's see...
Well, her parents separated
when she was three.
He awarded Jane, the mother,
full custody and
relocated out of state.
Seems he kept up child support
payments until she was 10.
Then they appear
to be disrupted.
That's not great.
It's not totally unusual.
You know, personally,
I remember that Jane was
very protective of Jenna.
Jane also didn't come to us
until she was quite sick.
It's possible her illness
was affecting her thinking.
Well, that could explain
why she didn't
reach out to Theo.
Definitely. Maybe she didn't
really know what to do.
No wonder Jenna has questions.
When Jane passed away, the
caseworker tried to track down
Theo and looked for other
family but didn't find anyone.
Well, everything's online now,
maybe I'll have better luck.
Thanks Cynthia.
I have a few contacts that
might be able to help as well.
I'm quite resourceful, you know.
How's Kiki doing?
Oh you know her.
Taking on too much but loving
every minute of it!
Oh I know. She's one of the
best stories we've had.
The agency found her
such a loving family
when she was a toddler.
Then after what happened
I was so glad that we
could place her with you.
I hope everything
goes well with Jenna.
And the wedding.
I'll let you know how it goes.
Please do.
Argghh! What is it now?
Hello?
Hey Keeks. Where are you?
I'm at home,
prepping everything.
Are you going to our spa day?
We're going to do mani pedis.
Oh Jenna, I'm so sorry,
I, I completely forgot!
You forgot?
I'm kidding.
Don't beat yourself up.
Shari and I will have all
the fun, but we'll miss you!
Hi Kiki.
I really appreciate
everything you're doing
for Andrew and me.
Are you sure it wasn't
it too much of an ask
to have you do the food?
Absolutely not!
I'm happy to be part
of your special day.
And I will only be happier
when we're on that
dance floor together.
I hear you.
If only we could just skip
over this next little bit
and get to the dance floor.
Skip the wedding?
Oh, no, I, I just mean there
are a lot of parts and pieces
that haven't fallen
into place yet.
I have a lot on my mind.
Well, um,
you don't have anything to
worry about in terms of food.
No, everything is under control.
Okay.
Is there anything else
I can help you with?
I doubt it.
Jenna, I know that things are
crazy right now, but just,
just think about that
moment when you're in
your wedding dress, and Andrew
sees you for the first time,
standing at the altar about
to marry your best friend.
I mean, that's what
it's all about, right?
Yeah. Yeah, you're right.
Thanks Kiki.
You're my ray of sunshine.
Well, anytime. You know what?
Send me some pics
of your nails, okay!
I'll try not to be too jealous.
Deal.
Okay.
Yeah, interesting question.
No, ah, no, I don't think
Andrew's much of a karaoke guy.
Oh, one sec.
Ah, Evan, I got
to call you back.
Thank you for meeting with me.
Hey, I'm sorry about what
I said back at the food market.
I didn't mean to offend you.
I appreciate that.
I might have been feeling a
little sensitive that day.
Thank you.
So, was there a
particular reason
that you wanted to meet
me and buy me a coffee?
Um...
Catering a one hundred
person formal event is...
It's proving to be
out of my comfort zone.
Just everything I
planned and prepped for
is falling apart at the seams.
So you need help?
I need this wedding
to be perfect
because that is
what Jenna deserves.
Okay.
Well, let me connect you
to some people I know
who cater big events.
No, I can do this.
I need to do this.
You're stubborn!
Dedicated.
All right, well,
talk to me, Kiki because I can't
help if I don't understand.
Cooking it's...
It's what I know.
That's how I express myself
and my love for others.
I grew up in the
foster care system.
But before you start
feeling sorry for me,
I was really lucky.
And I ended up with a
really loving family.
They gave me a lot,
but I didn't have much
I could give back.
Except, I, I could cook.
I could bring a smile to my
foster dad's face with a cookie,
or make Angie feel better with
a pot of chicken noodle soup.
It probably sounds silly.
No, no. It makes a lot
of sense, actually.
Food is caring. I get that.
I can't let my family down.
I need to do this.
Okay.
Well in that case, Kiki,
just tell me what you need.
Okay.
Cheers.
Cheers.
So, this is the original menu,
but with no salmon and
no industrial ovens now,
things have had to change.
And I've been trying
to adapt this one,
but just, nothing seems to work.
You've got good ideas
here, big ideas.
This is way too complicated,
without a working oven onsite.
Well, Angie has two
stoves at the house
so I could prep all the main
course protein there, and...
It's only twenty
minutes from the venue.
Twenty minutes is a
lifetime in food service.
I could offer up my
industrial ovens.
They're bigger and
hotter than Angie's,
but we're still forty
minutes from the venue here
so I don't think that
helps you either.
No.
Thank you, thank you. But no.
Well, you cannot be a chef
and a roast beef taxi driver.
Well, actually, I'm probably
going to be doing prime rib.
Who's helping you with this?
No one.
I just need to prep
as much as I can.
If I can get the timing perfect,
then all I have to worry about
is plating the food and
the servers will take care
of everything else.
All right. Well let's say that
you do manage to pull that off,
between the prep, the cooking,
and then the travel to Angie's,
there is no way that you
can be at the ceremony.
The ceremony...
I didn't think about that.
Don't you want to be
there to see your sister
actually get married?
Of course.
But I'm sure there will be
lots of photos and video.
Kiki, you got to look at
the bigger picture here.
What you are trying to do for
your sister, it's admirable.
And I know it comes
from nothing but love.
But what you want to do with
dinner, this takes a village.
Well, I don't have a
village, I have me.
Look, I'm good. I'm quick.
And I'll do whatever it takes.
And I am not
questioning your talent.
That's not what
this is about that.
This is just about timing
and manpower and finesse.
Come here. I want to
show you something.
We're creating a new dish
for the menu tonight.
All head chefs have sous chefs.
Technically we could do
it alone, but we don't.
And the food is better for it.
How are we looking?
Ready chef!
Let's get a little
more salt on that lamb.
Hmm. The jus is delicious.
Is that cinnamon?
Yeah.
Brilliant.
Thank you, Chef.
All right.
Beautiful work everyone.
Thank you so much.
Have a great service tonight.
Have a great time tonight.
And say hi to Crystal.
I will. Thank you.
After you.
So what did you
think of my team?
Okay, you may be onto something.
Sheer determination
alone may not cut it.
And that's just for one dish.
Okay. Fine.
This is me waving my
stubborn little white flag.
Will you help me simplify
these dishes and
make them actually doable?
I'd love to.
But I, actually,
have to get going.
I've got a reservation
at a restaurant opening.
Oh! Okay.
Yeah, well, um...
Thank you for your time
and all your advice.
Why don't you come with me.
What?
Be my plus one.
Me?
I can't go to a restaurant
opening dressed like this.
Not unless it's
for a drive thru.
No, no.
I'm afraid this is a bit more
of a fine dining experience.
And it's a ten
course tasting menu.
So, I hope you're hungry.
Yeah!
But, are you're sure you
want me to be your date?
I'm not saying that
this is a date.
That's not what I meant.
Right. Well, think of this
more as two chefs meeting
and expanding our palates
and stomachs together.
We can continue
this discussion and
see if any last minute
inspiration comes to you.
What do you think?
I need to change first.
But, yes, a hundred times yes!
Excellent!
Jenna!
I thought you were having brunch
today with your future in-laws?
Is this it?
Is this what, sweetheart?
One box?
When I came to live with you,
I only had one box to show
for the thirteen years of
life I had before that?
You had some clothes
and books and a stuffy.
There's nothing really here.
What are you hoping to find?
Why has he never
come to look for me?
He seems so familiar, yet
I have no memory of him.
This picture is the
only evidence I have
that he even exists.
But what happened?
They look so happy.
Why didn't it work
out for my parents?
And what if there's a
reason I haven't thought of
that Andrew and I
won't work out?
Oh no.
You and Andrew have had
your own ups and downs
but you've come back
together, stronger.
He's my person.
Yes.
Anyone with eyes can see
you two belong together.
Probably just cold feet.
Well, calm your mind.
And those feet.
Time to listen to your heart.
I'm looking for Theo.
Yeah, that's me.
How can I help you?
I'm Angie Hartman.
I'm a foster parent, with
Benefit Foster Care Service.
I'm sorry, I can't make
any donation today.
Oh, no no no!
I'm actually here on behalf of
your daughter, Jenna Whitaker.
Jenna?
You know where she is?
Yes I do.
And she's getting
married this weekend.
My little Jenna,
getting married...
Well, the impending marriage has
brought up questions for Jenna
about her past,
where she comes from.
I haven't seen Jenna
since she was a toddler.
What can I possibly do for her?
Her mother can answer
anything she wants to know.
I'm so sorry to be the
one to tell you this,
but Jane passed away,
almost twenty years ago.
I know that's a lot to take in.
But your daughter could
really use you now.
Jane's gone...
And for that long? Wait, how...
Where did you say you're from?
I'm a foster parent from
Benefit Foster Care Service.
Jenna was in foster care?
Oh, I can assure you, she
was loved and supported,
and has grown into a lovely,
thriving, happy young woman.
I think you'd be very proud.
Are you open to
meeting with her?
No.
No, she doesn't want
to meet with me.
There's no point in
dredging up the past.
Look, I appreciate you
coming all the way out here
to tell me about her.
But ah...
I think you'd better leave.
Of course, if that's
what you want.
I sure hope you
change your mind.
And if you do, I'm leaving
my number in your mailbox.
Mm, mmm...
Hands down that is the best
thing I've ever tasted.
Mm hm. A little bit
heat at the end.
Yes!
You know, my only critique.
I wish there was more because I
could eat another forty of them.
I think that might defeat the
purpose of a tasting menu.
Tasting menu is a way
to dip your toes in,
but I'm just realizing that...
Thank you.
I'm more of a jump in
the deep end kind of gal.
Yeah, I sensed that about you.
I like it.
You're not like most
other people, Kiki.
What do you mean?
Most people don't invest all
their money into a food truck?
Hm?
Or agree to cater
their sister's wedding
with no idea if they can
actually pull it off?
No, no. You're one
in a million there.
But, I got to give it to you.
You've got to dream
big to win big.
Well, you would know.
7 Basil is one of the best
restaurants in the city.
You're very modest
about the whole thing.
It's a big deal!
Most chefs dream of owning
their own restaurant.
Yes I am kind of proud of that.
Come on.
No. I just want to
be in the kitchen,
throwing ingredients
together, cooking.
Where does that come from?
Home. My parents always
wanted the best for me.
They had dreams of
me becoming a doctor.
I tried to want it
for a few years.
And I even started med school.
Wow.
And I was pretty good
for a few years at being
who I thought I should be.
But then every day after these
long, grueling classes in school
I would come home and I
would be in the kitchen,
cooking deep into the night.
And I think that for me, that
was a kind of a release.
You know, it's how
I found my peace.
I get that.
And, of course, Andrew was
my roommate at the time.
So he ate like a king.
Well, I realized that by being
who my parents wanted me to be,
I was missing out
on my own life.
I bet your parents
were thrilled.
Yeah, no. They, they...
They did not think that I
could have a career as a chef.
They didn't think
it was a real job.
But, I took the risk and
faced their disappointment
to go to culinary school.
Wow. So you, you
really committed then.
Yeah, I put in the hard work
and pursued the flavors
that inspired me,
found my voice.
You know, the restaurant
success is just a bonus.
Honestly, it's kind
of a hindrance.
And I feel like I can't be
creative or try big bold
new things, just in case
it doesn't work out.
You know honestly, it feels like
being back in medical school.
I feel like I'm doing everything
to please other people.
Sorry.
That must be tough.
Maybe that's why you're
such a breath of fresh air.
You remind me of the
importance of taking risks.
Angie always jokes that my
daydreaming is going to get me
into trouble, but,
no I always find that
it's my saving grace.
It gets me to where
I'm supposed to be.
Well, maybe you can teach me
to dream like that again.
Maybe I will.
Cheers to that.
Cheers.
- Thank you.
- This looks good.
And we have seven
more courses left.
Wow! This looks like
a great card night.
Yeah, I just hope
everyone loves it.
I ran some of my ideas
by Josh and Clay,
and if I'm being honest, they
don't all seem to be winners.
You didn't suggest
the karaoke, did you?
Hey, some people
actually love karaoke!
I told you.
Okay, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
Look, Clay and Andrew have been
friends since they were kids!
Then Josh and Andrew,
they've know each other
since football days.
And me, I don't really know
any of them all that well.
Well, you are a
part my like now.
So you are a part
of this family,
whether it feels
that way or not.
Hey, they just, they need
to get to know you. Okay.
And they will see the
thoughtful, funny,
amazing man that I
fell in love with.
Hey, no one night is
going to going to create
this lasting bond.
Okay. I will chill out with
the overplanning then.
That sounds like a plan.
You think you're funny, huh.
Okay, listen, I want
to take you somewhere.
And get your mind off
all this thinking.
Where are we heading?
You'll see.
Oh, that's incredible!
Yeah, at one point
there were four teens
and two pre-teens in that house.
Angie is an angel.
Yes she is.
I still look forward
to every Sunday,
gathering at the house
for Sunday Supper.
And it can be a wild
dynamic, because
you never know which kid
is going to show up
because we're all just so
different, yet we're connected.
You know, you might
have something there.
What do you mean?
What if for the wedding,
instead of individual
plates for everybody,
what if you did it
family style service?
Like, platters on the tables?
Yeah, like platters,
serving bowls.
You said you value the community
aspect of Sunday Supper.
Well, family style
means that guests
are interacting with each
other, serving each other.
Yeah. I love that.
It's a nod to Angie and
our crazy family dinners.
I mean, they always say that
a meal should tell a story.
Exactly.
Tandoori chicken!
I'm not sure if
that's the story...
No no no no no.
Before Jenna went to college,
we went on a girls' long
weekend to New York City.
Just me, Jenna, Shari, our first
time away from Angie's, and,
oh, we had the best time.
But we also had the most
delicious tandoori chicken
from this tiny authentic
Indian restaurant.
That's a great story.
Yeah. I could do tandoori
chicken for the wedding.
Okay, but you'd still
don't have an oven.
Where you going to find
yourself a tandoor?
Well, my food truck
has a stone oven.
And I can double it
to make tandoori.
And we can park it at the venue.
Which solves the problem
of the travel time
between Angie's
place and the venue.
- Perfect! Brilliant!
- Yes!
Do you really think we
could pull that off?
I don't doubt it. Never have.
Clay?
It's been way too long.
So good to see you.
Congratulations.
I think you have something
really special here.
Thank you for coming.
Honestly, it means the
world that you're here.
No, so happy to be here.
Kiki, may I introduce you
to the executive chef and
brilliant mind behind all these
plates we just had tonight.
This is Crystal.
Pleasure to meet you.
It's, the food has
been incredible!
I mean, those dumplings
that are shaped like birds
just sitting on the nest.
Thanks.
Kiki's quite the chef herself.
She actually runs one of the
most popular food trucks
in the city.
Food truck! How cute.
It's just hand crafted pizzas.
I'd love to come check it out.
Sure, yeah.
It was really nice
meeting you, Kiki.
- See you Friday, Clay!
- Yeah.
Well, that was a nice surprise.
Hey, Clay.
So did you see my
food truck outside?
I did. She's a beauty.
And that pizza
oven is next level!
I mean, you really did a
great job with a small space.
Well, she's small
but she's mighty.
Yeah, the Kiki way.
So what's cooking?
I have all the
other dishes sorted.
I'm glad you're still feeling
excited about your new plan.
Cautiously optimistic.
Well, it smells
delicious already.
Here's hoping!
Just doing a final tandoori test
just in case this one
isn't quite right.
And we check it in
fifteen minutes.
Umm... Right.
Now what are you doing?
Well, I have these
three marinades
just in case the first
one isn't quite right.
No, no no no. Your first
sauce smelled incredible.
Trust your instincts.
No. Instincts or not, but I have
had enough stuff go wrong on me
in the last few days.
How many times did
you taste the sauce
before you put it in the oven?
Three times.
Of course you did.
And how did it taste?
It was really good.
Of course it was. Because
you're an excellent chef.
But that doesn't mean...
I'm going to tell you this
because no one ever said
this to me when I doubted myself
and needed to hear it the most.
I believe in you.
You've been running around
trying to make everything
perfect and keep all
theses balls in the air,
but if you keep doing this
you will burn yourself out
and you're going to resent
your sister's wedding day
if you don't find some way to
enjoy yourself in this process.
Give yourself fifteen minutes.
To do what?
I don't know.
What do you want to do?
Pshhhh... Ah...
Well, we now have
twelve minutes, so...
I have an idea.
This is the best latte
I've had in a long time.
You're a fantastic barista.
Oh, thank you.
It's my favorite when
I'm taking a break.
What?
I do take breaks.
Sometimes.
Okay, fine.
Once in a blue moon.
About as often as I do then.
Hey, don't you have a restaurant
that you should be prepping for
this evening?
No, they're closed tonight.
They're busy getting ready for
the rehearsal dinner tomorrow.
Ah, so you are cooking
the rehearsal dinner?
Nope. I'm letting another chef
take the lead on this one.
Looking forward to being a guest
this time, you know, just having
a glass of wine and hanging
with Andrew and the family.
Yeah, that sounds really nice.
Well, hopefully
you'll be there too.
I should be, but
there's a few things...
Don't miss out
on your life, Kiki.
It's happening right now.
Yeah, you're right.
Tandoori time!
A moment of truth.
Hmmm.
Tender, juicy, perfectly spiced.
Hm. Surprising.
It's good though, right?
It's so good.
And you're not just saying that?
Do I look like a man who
would lie about food?
But it's not the traditional
beef or fish option
that most weddings go for.
Is that going to be a problem?
No no no.
You don't want to give them
what they think they want.
You want to give them
something even better.
Because you, Kiki, are better.
Kiki's Famous Tandoori Chicken.
How's that for branding?
It's not famous yet.
Well, just you wait.
It will be. It's that good.
Hmm. It's going to
taste even better
when it's in the pizza oven.
You could put this
on your pizza.
What do you think about that?
I could!
Do it the Kiki Way.
Yeah. Kiki's Famous
Tandoori Chicken Pizza.
Hmmmm. I'm liking
the sound of that.
You know, famous
is growing on me.
So, tandoori it is!
Great!
Oh! Sorry.
So, I'm just thinking, that
it's going to take some time
to prep and cook everything.
Plus, I still have to
worry about the sides.
Uh huh.
Well, it was something that
you said has me thinking.
That if I want to be
able to breath and enjoy
the wedding with my family,
that maybe it might
be a good idea
to have another pair of hands.
So, do you think you could...?
Make a call to my staff?
Nothing would make me happier.
Great. Thank you.
I'll send a quick text.
So, we love the tandoori.
And how are you
feeling about the sides?
Ah, good.
I think just keep them
simple, but delicious.
I just, I just don't
anything to compete
with that tandoori flavor, so...
Great.
Well actually,
I have something that might
be a source of inspiration.
What is that?
You'll have to trust me.
Pick you up tomorrow
morning say, 8 am?
Yes, Chef!
Not bad.
This is turning out
to be quite the adventure.
So, where to next?
Uh, well, there will be food.
Another restaurant?
No.
No, it's not another restaurant.
It's, it's a surprise.
Hmmm.
Just a little further.
Right this way.
Clay! Oh my gosh.
It's so good to see you!
So good to see you!
Martha, I want to introduce
you to Kiki Mercer.
Do you remember my
old friend, Andrew?
Sure.
Well, he's getting
married to Kiki's sister.
Oh wow!
Well, welcome to our
community food pantry.
Martha's a hugger.
Me too! So that ended
up working out.
Welcome, Kiki.
Any friend of Clay's
is a friend of mine.
Come to think of it,
Clay doesn't often
bring friends here.
Hmmm.
All right. Let me give
you the pointing tour.
Kitchen.
Non-perishable food pantry.
Help yourself table.
Restroom downstairs.
Got it.
So, if you two want to help,
you can go into the pantry
and start bagging some new
donations into shopping bags.
On it, boss.
Great!
We got a whole van of donations
from a high school fund raiser.
- Oh wow.
- Wow.
Yeah, let's get to it.
- Right this way.
- Great.
Thanks.
How's it going?
This food pantry
feeds a lot of people.
Martha, she seems great.
Yeah, she is.
I've known her
forever at this point.
Since Andrew and I were
roommates in college.
You know, at the time I
was studying day and night
just to keep my scholarship.
All I was doing was waking up,
going to class and then going
right home and studying, eating,
and going right back to bed.
Well, that's not much of a life.
No, it wasn't.
I don't talk about this much,
but it was really a
lonely couple years.
And Andrew was my only friend.
Then I found this place.
Everyone here accepted
me for who I was.
Without judgement.
And now Martha, got me
interested in feeding people
and taking care of them.
It changed my life.
Thank you.
For what?
For bringing me here today
and for sharing your story.
When we love what we do,
that's a super power.
I'll put this one in the back.
Oh thank you.
Hey, did you catch
the game last night?
I don't even want
to think about it.
Albert, my man!
How are you doing?
Can't complain.
Always better when I see you.
Likewise.
Hey, ah, how's your wife?
A lot better.
She's coming home from
the hospital together.
Ah, good good good.
Happy for you too.
Any chance on doubling
up on tea for us?
She said the stuff in that
place is barely drinkable.
Of course, yeah.
Anything else you need?
Nothing specific.
Whatever you have is good.
I don't want to take up
anymore of you and your
lady friend's time.
Okay.
Oh no. It's not like that.
I hear you saying the words,
but I see my friend's
smile, don't I?
All right, I'll go get your tea.
He's a catch. Hmmm?
Everyone is so friendly.
Yeah, that's why I like
to spend time here.
You know, I actually started
getting my parents out here too.
Yeah, they bring these
nonperishables to contribute,
hang out, make some friends.
They love it.
You have a big
heart, you know that.
I do what I can.
I do need to find some
balance in my life.
I can't just always
define myself
as being busy all of the time.
Even though I do have a
lot on my plate, right now.
Pun intended.
Pun appreciated.
Yeah, you deserve to be
something other than
just busy all the time.
You know what?
After all this wedding
business is done,
I'd like to bring
my food truck here,
give everyone a hot meal.
Every super hero does need
a great set of wheels.
Hm. Yeah, you know what?
I might have to come up with a
new name for the food truck.
Maybe the, um...
The Flavor Crusader?
Um... Power Pies
and Mighty Meals?
No!
Guardians of the Gourmet.
Oh!
There's even some merchandise
that can go with that.
I'll buy the T-shirt.
Just a T-shirt?
Thanks for coming.
Have some sandwiches.
All right. I got this.
All right.
Thank you for having me today.
Well, you're welcome any time.
Now, she's a keeper.
Okay, all right.
- I'll see you next week.
- Uh huh.
I figured it out.
What?
Martha. She's like Angie.
She's kind and warm and
welcoming to everyone.
Martha is your Angie.
I guess she kind of is.
After you.
Thank you for bringing me today.
I think I really
needed that break.
Well, it was nice to
share it with you.
Well, the footage was
destroyed and needless to say,
we ended up in detention
for a few days.
But I'm glad because that's
where we bonded, right.
Ford to the fire.
And seriously, Andrew,
you're just the best.
And you and Jenna
you're perfect together.
And you're an example
of what love can be.
It's an inspiration, truly.
Seeing you, I can't
wait to lean into love,
and be as happy you
two are together.
Cheers to the happy couple.
Cheers!
Love you guys.
Cheers.
I'm so glad you're
here, and smiling!
I'm sorry if this
week's been stressful.
It's been busy, but I'm just so
excited to celebrate tomorrow.
Why exactly are you this smiley?
Is it a boy?
Jenna, I told you we should
have kept the plus one!
I don't need a plus one to the
wedding, thank you very much.
Yeah, you're right.
How would you have time to flirt
with all this wedding prep?
Right, well, I don't! So.
Good.
So save us a dance on
the dance floor because
I put some special requests
in with the deejay.
No!
Get your Dirty
Dancing moves ready.
Angie, why do I always have
to play Patrick Swayze?
You're very good at it.
Clay, you have truly out done
yourself with this meal.
Oh well, I'm glad
you enjoyed it.
But actually I can't
take full credit for it.
I may have hired
a special friend
to help me with the
meal prep this evening.
Hey, Chef! Get over her.
This is Chef Crystal.
Crystal?
Hi! Oh my gosh!
It's great to see you.
Nice to see you too.
Oh, Jenna, this is Crystal.
We used to hang all the time
when these two were
in culinary school.
Nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you too.
So Chef Crystal here just opened
a restaurant on Massey street.
But she was kind enough
to take the evening off tonight
to help us out here.
Anything for you, Clay.
Lemon Willow! I've been reading
rave reviews about that place!
Thank you!
I'd love for you to come
check it out sometime.
I wish. I hear it's
impossible to get a table
unless you happen
to know somebody.
Hmm... I can book you in.
That would be great!
Thank you.
Well, if you like this you
should taste what Kiki's
cooking up for us tomorrow
in her food truck.
A food truck at a wedding?
That's different!
It's just acting like
a portable kitchen
because there's no
working oven at the venue.
Clay here has been telling
me that you've had
so many bumps along the way.
I just think it's so great that
he's been helping you out.
It's going to be great, Kiki.
Well, if it's anything
like this meal,
then it will be glorious.
Excuse me.
Ah, excuse me everyone.
Sorry to interrupt.
I just wanted to take this
opportunity to declare,
yet again, how much I love
this woman sitting next to me.
I can't believe I get
to marry you tomorrow.
I'm so excited.
Yeah! Woo, woo!
Andrew Clarington, I can't
believe you can still manage
to make me blush.
Yes!
Tonight's been so special.
Thank you for being here.
You all mean so much to us,
and we wouldn't be who
we are today without...
Are you okay?
Theo!
I'm so glad you could join us.
Theo?
Sorry, I don't
believe we've met.
This is Theo Whitaker.
It's my father.
Hi...
Hi Jenna. You look beautiful.
What are you doing here?
How did you...?
Jenna... I, I'm sorry.
You don't get to just show
up in my life when you want.
I'm, I'm so sorry.
I didn't know you grew
up in foster care. I...
Please.
I'm here now, if you...
Stop.
Okay, um, why don't we
just grab a seat, um...
Did you know about this too?
I mean, I spoke to Angie about
how upset you were, but...
I don't believe this.
Jenna... Just wait.
- Don't follow me.
- Jenna, please.
I want to be alone.
She'll be okay.
She just needs time.
I shouldn't have come.
Theo... I'm so sorry.
Has anybody seen Kiki?
Did she leave?
Oh, there you are.
Are you leaving?
Yes. Big day tomorrow.
Oh, I was going to help you.
I know. I thought we
were real friends.
We are...
It feels like you didn't
have my back in there.
When Crystal was putting
my food truck down,
you didn't say anything.
I, I, I'm sorry.
I must have missed it
with everyone going on.
No, of course I have your back.
Always.
Then let me go.
See you tomorrow.
Okay, that's the last of them.
Where's Kiki?
I don't know.
I think she's still
prepping for dinner.
She still has to get ready.
I know. I'm sure
she'll be here soon.
Is my father here?
No.
Jenna, I'm so sorry I didn't
talk to you about your father.
You should have
talked to me first.
I should have.
I didn't mean to
betray your trust.
I know your heart was
in the right place.
I want to talk to him.
I need to talk to my dad.
Of course.
Like, right now.
Like, right now? Like, today?
I won't feel ready to
walk down the aisle
until I talk to him.
Okay. Let's go get your dad!
Hey! Best man here to
deliver the rings!
You take care of the bride.
We'll be back.
What's going on?
Where's Kiki?
Theo?
Theo!
Kiki, what are you doing?
What does it look like?
I'm preparing.
Where's my sous chef?
They were supposed
to be here by now.
I sent him home because
I can do this on my own.
Kiki, I thought you agreed
to bring on a sous chef
so you'd have time to enjoy
yourself at the wedding.
Why does it matter to you?
This wedding dinner is going
to be over soon enough,
and then I don't have
to bother you anymore
with my cute little food
truck and my big ideas.
Bother me?
I'm not a charity case, Clay.
Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa!
Where's this coming from?
Look, I have committed
to this now and
I have to see it through.
I can't let Jenna down.
Did you know her father
showed up last night
at the rehearsal dinner
after you snuck out?
- What?
- Yeah.
She's in there, she's refusing
to walk down the aisle.
She's hurt, she's confused
and she doesn't need dinner,
she needs her sister.
She needs you.
This is the most important
day of her life,
and I'm out here doing...
This!
I want to be with Jenna.
So go. I'll cover for you
until my sous chef gets back.
Thank you.
Thank me later. Go!
Have we been standing
here for two hours?
Close.
Eight-and-a-half minutes.
Something's wrong.
Something's definitely wrong.
Jenna doesn't want
to marry me any more.
What? What? No.
Not possible.
Maybe she fell down a
well and can't get out.
Look, Jenna is a woman
who knows what she wants
and that's obviously been
you since high school.
She'll be here.
What's taking so long?
Hey.
What are you doing
in here all alone?
My dad's on his way.
Okay. Is that what you wanted?
Something in me wants him here.
He's basically a stranger.
But he also feels
familiar too, you know?
Of course. He's, he's your dad.
He's part of you.
I don't even know what
I want him to say.
I don't know if there's
anything he can say.
Maybe not.
But he's putting in the effort
to show up for you today.
I mean, that's a
good start, right?
But how do we move forward?
Angie told me that he didn't
know I was in foster care
or that my mom died.
Oh, wow.
Yeah.
He clearly doesn't care to be
involved in my life at all.
Jenna, look...
Maybe everything
happens for a reason.
Huh?
I mean, just think about
how different your life
would have been
had he been there.
You wouldn't know Angie.
Or me!
Shari or Josh.
Not even Andrew.
My life would be
totally different.
Oh yeah.
I love my life.
I wouldn't want it
to be any other way.
What happened with your mom and
your dad all those years ago,
it's hard.
But it also brought you here.
And now you have a
life that you love.
And if you want,
a chance to get
to know your dad.
It's probably not going
to get fixed today.
Thank you Kiki.
You always know how to
make me feel better.
How do you do that?
Pshhh. I don't know.
I didn't even have to
use food this time!
I love you.
I love you.
Now, let's get you excited
for what we what we
came here for today!
We've all known since you guys
were sweethearts in high school.
And that is, that you two...
Are meant to be!
Mrs. Jenna Clarington.
How do you even have this?
I got all your hand-me-down
text books from school.
This was scribbled inside.
This is so embarrassing.
Nooooo...
That's love baby!
Now, you're not going to get
married in this robe, are you?
- No!
- No?
Uh huh.
So let's go and get you dressed!
- Okay.
- Okay.
Any minute now.
For sure.
Hey!
You guys okay up here?
Uh huh. Uh hm.
Could be better.
Anything I can do to help?
No. You just being here and
supporting my family is amazing.
And we can still dance
the night away later?
Oh you know it.
Is your tie bothering you?
Too tight?
Yeah, just a bit.
- Better?
- Perfect.
- Thank you.
- You're welcome.
Pssst! Josh! Josh!
Go ahead.
Yeah, so, a little update here.
What's going on?
Yeah, so Shari texted me.
What did she say?
No worries, it's okay.
Everything's okay.
Um, but it does turn out
that Jenna actually does
want her father here.
So, Shari's on her way
to pick him up now.
Okay. Okay, good.
- Yeah, that's good.
- I think that's good.
No, it's just a little
delay, that's all.
Sorry the party thing
didn't work out.
Ah, it's okay, man.
I'm just sorry we had to
cancel the go karting.
We're going go karting?
Happy to be here.
I'm happy you could
be here too, Evan.
Um, did you hear from Jenna?
Is she okay?
Yes, she's fine.
She'll be here soon.
She just wanted to make
sure today is a day
where family is first.
You look incredible.
Thank you.
I need you to know,
it wasn't my decision.
I adored you!
My job, it kept me away
for months at a time.
And your mother and I,
we tried to make it work,
but we just grew apart.
It broke my heart.
Dad...
The idea of you
being in foster care...
I never would have
let that happen
if I had known your
mother was gone.
I'm sorry things happened
to you the way they did.
But...
Please don't blame yourself.
Everything turned out okay.
Better than okay.
I got really lucky.
And I really love my life.
And I want the same
thing for you too.
Thank you.
I know we have a
long way to go...
And there's lots to get to
know about each other, but
I'm glad we have the chance
to do that going forward.
And I'd really love it if
you stayed for the wedding.
And, um...
If you're feeling up for it,
I would love it if you walked
me down the aisle with Angie.
It would be the
honor of my life.
So...
Are we ready?
Yes!
All good?
Seems to be. How Kiki?
How do you know I know that?
Oh, Clay. We all know.
We all know, bro.
The flowers look amazing, Angie.
Thank you for everything.
You deserve the world.
Come on, Dad!
Am I on the correct side?
Feels right to me.
Hi.
Hi. Sorry about the wait.
You're worth it.
- You look beautiful.
- Thank you.
- You're very handsome.
- I know.
Jenna, the food was incredible.
It was perfect.
All thanks to my sis.
Thank you for coming back and
for all of your work today.
You helped make it
a very special day.
Your menu did all the hard work.
Servers said all the
plates came back empty.
That's a good sign.
Thank you.
Have a good night.
Got any lattes in that truck?
Oh, I wish!
All weddings should serve them.
Rain check.
Absolutely.
Everybody is asking
for you inside.
They want to pay their
compliments to the chef.
You did it, Kiki.
We did it.
I think I still owe
you a thank you.
Oh yeah.
Well, let's hear it.
I couldn't have done this alone.
And if you hadn't shaken
some sense into me
I would have missed out on a
beautiful day with my family.
Was there a thank you
in there, or something?
So thank you...
For all of your help,
in and out of the kitchen.
Well, thank you
for dreaming big and
staying true to yourself.
And for inspiring
me to do the same.
Sounds like Jenna's about
to toss the bouquet.
Do you want to go inside,
catch some flowers?
See what happens?
No.
I think I have everything
I want right here.
Me too.
You know, Andrew really
made me realize that a
work life balance is
something worth fighting for.
I think we can
both agree on that.
Do you want to work
on that with me?
Are you asking me
to work with you?
No no... Um...
I've never met someone
that I could see
spending my whole life with.
And I, I see you, Kiki.
And I see what we can be.
And...
I love you.
I see it too.
I love you.
Should we join the party?
Why not!
Is that a...
That's a dance off
challenge, right there.
It's a little
demonstration then?
Have a great day.
Hi Michaela.
I made chocolate
zucchini muffins again.
What can I say?
Zucchini's in season.
My favorite season.
These are your best.
Thank you.
But I am surprised
you made this order
with all the wedding
hubbub happening this week.
Oh, all is calm on
the wedding front.
Honestly, Jenna is the most
organized person I know.
Right, but aren't you
catering the wedding?
Yeah...
But I cook for
hundreds of people
every lunch hour out
of my food truck.
So, how hard can it be?
Kiki, this is your
sister's wedding.
Jenna, you know the one who
eats and breathes perfection?
Right. Yeah.
Well, I've almost finished
up on the menu here
and I'm sure that Jenna and
Andrew are going to love it.
I'm sure too.
But just in case you
need something special,
just give me a ring and I will
open up for you after hours.
Thank you.
I really appreciate that but
I think I should be fine.
Okay, I got to run
but I'll see you soon.
Sorry!
Umm...
She seems in a hurry.
So, I'll take that
and then, uh...
A dozen of whatever
smells so good.
- And there you go.
- Thank you.
That's fresh chocolate
zucchini muffins.
You just bumped into the chef.
It almost doesn't feel real.
Like in four days,
I'll be married!
- Yeah you are!
- Cheers to that!
Okay, so Jenna, be honest.
When you and Andrew were
dating in high school,
did you ever think
that one day you two
would be getting married?
Yeah, of course she did!
She had Mrs. Jenna Clarington
scribbled on every single
one of her binders.
I did not!
Oh come on!
Oh, I totally remember that!
Oh, come on Jenna,
you cannot deny that!
But look how far
you guys have come.
I mean, we should
all be so lucky to
marry our best friend
from high school.
I still have so many
balls in the air.
I just hope everything
falls into place.
Of course it will.
You've planned this whole thing,
so now you just get to sit
back, relax and enjoy yourself.
Speaking of enjoyment,
you do have a few more
days to find a date.
Oh no. Aw...
Come on.
Any guy would be
lucky to date you.
Thank you.
But seriously, we did
finalize the seating chart,
we saved one spot, just
in case, just saying.
I am fine on my own, okay.
It's just, look I'm
catering this wedding
so I don't have any time to
be spending with a date.
Well you better find some
time to shake it with me
on the dance floor after dinner.
Oh, I have been
practicing my dance moves.
Just need to make sure
that I have enough energy
at the end of the night.
Kiki, is everything
okay with the catering?
Of course!
Cooking is my favorite
thing to do for our family.
Yeah, but cooking for us on
Sunday dinners is one thing.
I mean, catering
an entire wedding.
That's a lot of pressure.
I wouldn't have
it any other way.
Okay.
Well I can't wait to
taste what you cook up.
Me too.
Andrew and I know it's
going to be amazing.
Oh, well, thanks for the
vote of confidence in there.
Oh, just give me...
Why would they be calling?
One sec.
Hello?
Yeah.
No, no, look. I need the
salmon delivered by Friday.
Kiki! You're missing
all the fun!
Okay, yeah, I'll be right there.
You've got to be kidding me!
What's going on out there?
Ah, it's just Josh.
He's trying to do
some recon for Andrew.
Don't worry, I won't
tell him anything!
Aren't the groomsmen supposed
to be having a lunch
to welcome the best man?
Live in the moment, Josh!
I can't
come to the phone right now.
Please leave a message.
Unbelievable!
In high school my sisters
would ask my opinion
on prom dresses all the time.
You think I wanted to
answer them, but I did.
And now... Nothing!
It's like I've been shut out.
Sounds like you're being
punished there pal.
Hey, thanks for doing
some recon for me, though.
I appreciate it.
I haven't been around the
family for that long,
but even I know the sisters
are always together.
All four of them right?
You've certainly lifted Shari's
spirits over the last few weeks.
And a happy Shari is a
happy life for all of us.
Hey, there he is!
Hey hey hey hey hey hey hey!
Andrew!
Buddy, it's so good to see you!
Hey, the best man!
The best wing man since,
what, grade school?
- That's right.
- Yeah.
- Clay, this is Evan.
- How you doing, man.
And this is Josh.
Hey, it's great to meet you.
I've heard a lot.
That is a total lie.
I've heard nothing.
Well, you guys
being taken care of?
Because I have connections.
Clay is being modest.
He is, in fact,
the executive chef
and owner of this restaurant.
Anyway, what's the plan
for the bachelor party?
Ah, no plans.
Andrew thought it might be fun
to just catch up for awhile.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
Come on! We've got
to do something, right?
It's tradition.
You know, I'm not so much of
a fan of the traditional stag.
But if you want to throw
something together,
I'm sure we could squeeze it in.
Okay.
Is that mischief I see, Evan?
On this face?
I'm calling them again.
And they're going to
pick up this time.
You're relentless.
You are not getting
a peek at the dress!
I'm not calling for that.
Really?
Not this time.
I just wanted you to know that
you have a stand-up boyfriend.
He's planning a
bachelor party for Andrew.
Oh, is he?
Okay, you guys ready out there?
Oh oh oh!
I guess since I'm
already on the call,
you might as well just let
me see Jenna for one minute.
No!
Okay, now, that
is perfect, yeah.
I will call you later.
All right. This party
is for sisters only.
No no. Don't be mean. Come on!
- Love you. Bye.
- Wait wait wait!
Oh, it's Angie.
- Hey!
- How's it going?
I can't believe I'm not there
but Rory and Gina have teachers'
conferences this morning.
Ah, that's okay.
You were here when she got it.
Yeah, and at the
twenty other stores
until she found the one.
Okay. You guys ready?
Well?
Ahhhh!
What do you think?
Oh! Stunning! Stunning!
It's gorgeous!
- Stunning!
- It's gorgeous!
It's real.
It's really happening!
I'm getting married!
Yeah, you are.
I just wish my mom
was here to see this.
I'm sure she's watching
and smiling down on you.
You're my mom too, Angie.
I'm so lucky to have you all.
We're all here for you.
Always.
There's nothing I can
do to change the past.
That's right, so let's focus on
that bright future of yours.
Well, I have some
serious flower prep to do,
so I'll see you soon, my Hearts!
Bye!
I'll see you at the house.
There's just something I've
got to figure out first.
Kiki!
I'll be there as
soon as I can, okay!
- I love you.
- I love you.
I love you!
Don't work too hard.
You must be able to get
salmon from another supplier.
No, no. It has to
be salmon, okay.
It's the bride's favorite
and I need this bridal dinner
to be memorable and meaningful.
Okay, if you can't get it
I'll just have to think
of something else.
Oh wow!
These look amazing.
Thank you so much for everything
you're doing for the wedding.
I wouldn't be here without you.
Well, supporting you,
nurturing you,
watching you bloom on your own,
it's been an absolute joy
being your foster mom.
Angie, there something
I wanted to ask you.
Would you walk me
down the aisle?
It'd really mean a lot to
me to have you by my side,
like you've always been.
I would love to.
Oh Jenna.
Ah, sorry.
I don't know why I
keep tearing up today.
Oh, honey, this is one of the
biggest events of your life.
It's bound to bring
up a lot of feelings.
I just wasn't expecting I'd
miss my mom so much, you know?
There's something I've
been meaning to give you.
I was going to save this
for your wedding day, but,
I think this might connect
you to the something old.
It came with you in that big box
when you arrived at the
house all those years ago.
Oh wow.
It's beautiful.
I believe it was your mother's.
I don't remember it.
But it's lovely.
What's this?
Is that my mom?
Look how young she is.
Nineteen or twenty, I'd say.
Look at her smile!
Beautiful.
And she's with a very
handsome young man.
I've never seen
this picture before.
They look so happy.
Jenna, are you okay?
I didn't know that
photo would be in there.
Oh, yeah.
I just haven't thought
about my father in years.
But he clearly hasn't
thought of me either, so.
I have a great family now.
My chosen family.
You sure do.
No, no, no no no no...
Can I give you a hand?
You sure you got
a hand to spare?
Always do.
It just takes a
little rebalancing.
Thank you.
Um, I promised Andrew
I'd drop this off.
It's you, from the market.
Your chocolate and zucchini
combination was great.
You have a real gift.
Thank you.
Wait until you try my pizza!
Is that...
That's takeout from 7 Basil!
Yeah.
Well, that's fancy!
I didn't even think restaurants
like that did take out.
Well, when you own the place,
they let you
bend the rules
from time to time.
You own 7 Basil?
Yeah. I'm Clay.
I'm the best man.
I'm Kiki.
Oh, you're Jenna's sister!
Yeah yeah yeah!
I've heard so much about you.
You're catering
the wedding, right?
Well, I, I own a restaurant...
It's a food truck.
Well, currently, I'm
specializing...
Pizza?
Here, why don't
you hand me that?
After you.
I have to say, I'm
curious to see how
a food truck chef is going
to serve a hundred people
appetizers and a
formal plated dinner.
Oh, well, we'll see, won't we!
I didn't mean anything by that.
Food's here!
It's Andrew. He wants me
to meet him in an hour.
Oh, that's too bad.
I was going to ask if
you would mentor me.
Oh, well, I would
totally do that.
I'm kidding.
I got this.
Okay, well, consider
it an open invitation.
Oh, smells amazing!
- Hey, Angie?
- Yes.
Nice to finally meet you.
Indeed.
This is Clay. He can't stay.
Because Andrew calls.
Well, groom takes priority
over Sunday Supper
this week, at least.
Yes.
Well, ah, call me
if you need me.
Thanks, I will.
Oh, he seems nice.
And he brought food.
Winning combination.
Hmm. He's something, all right.
I brought your favorite.
Oh, yes! Oh my gosh.
And then, he just dropped his
five star take out and took off!
Okay.
Ah, I'm not sure what I'm
supposed to be mad about.
That take out was pretty good.
Pretty good?
It was great.
But I have been test
cooking for hours.
And now, the dinner I wanted
to do for Jenna's wedding
isn't going to turn out
the way I wanted it to,
and I have three days to
come up with a whole new menu
and game plan.
So, it's the catering
that's the problem.
I've never catered for a
hundred people before,
and I've definitely don't
need someone judging me.
Kiki, he's also just a person.
And he seems like
a really nice guy.
Yeah... I suppose.
Kiki, if anyone can
do this, it's you.
And I think that Clay would
be a great industry contact.
Just think about
what Angie would say.
Be true to yourself,
but don't be afraid
to ask for some help.
I know.
And he is a great resource.
It's just...
I know.
He is way too good looking.
No.
I mean, yes he is, but what
I was going to say is,
I feel awkward asking
anyone for help.
Well, if you're
going to ask anyone,
it might as well
be the cute guy.
Very funny.
Well, I guess I
better get going.
Well, can you just please
promise me one thing?
Please try and get
some sleep tonight.
Thank you.
For trying to keep me balanced.
You're welcome, I think.
See you soon.
He's insisting!
I told him I didn't
need a bachelor party.
It sounds like Evan's just
trying to support you.
Knowing him, he's probably just
going to go to a work out class
or do push ups all night.
He's just trying to
get to know you better.
He's making an effort to
be a part of the family.
Yeah, I guess so.
Come on, just go out!
Embrace the fun.
You're only going
to get married once.
You're right about that.
Sorry, one sec.
Well, will you look who it is!
Hello Mother!
Andrew. I'm so
glad you picked up.
Look, I was chatting with
Betty at yoga this week,
and since your
brother can't come
because of the big
Hong Kong deal,
I sort of invited
her to the wedding.
Mom, we've been over this.
Jenna and I have already
finalized the guest list.
I'm so sorry.
I thought with John not coming,
Betty could take his spot.
Mom, we really
appreciate your opinions,
but Jenn and I have everything
organized and under control
over here.
Andrew, I want you to
have the most special day.
I have some ideas for
the mother-son dance.
Mom...
Ah ah ah. There are
traditions to be honored.
We can talk about this
dance another time, okay.
What about Jenna's
family traditions?
Are they being honored?
Look, whatever Jenna wants to do
is how we're going
to do it, okay.
End of discussion.
This is Jenna's day.
Don't forget that.
Of course. I understand.
It's going
to be a wonderful day.
Bye, dear.
Okay, bye.
I'm going to get some air.
Oh, Jenna. I'm so sorry.
Jenna...
Well, she was
fine until my mother called.
And I know my mom can
be very opinionated,
which has been hard on Jenna.
I shouldn't have let her
change the mother-son dance.
Well, I think this is less
about you and your mom
and more about Jenna.
Do you think she still wants
to go ahead with the wedding?
I don't doubt it for a minute.
Leave it to me. I'm going
to make a few calls.
I think I might know
how to help Jenna
find what she's looking for.
Thank you, Angie.
Kiki!
Fancy meeting you here.
Umm... I could say the same.
Don't you have people that
deliver your produce for you?
When I can I like to
come and pick out
the fresh, local ingredients
for the evening's menu myself.
How are the strawberries?
Ah, surprisingly sweet actually
for this time of year.
But the dessert I want
to do for the wedding
might actually work
out as planned.
Well, that's great to hear.
And, ah, so how's everything
shaping up for you for Saturday?
Um...
It's coming along.
Just a few bumps
along the road, but
nothing that I can't handle.
Well, you're very brave.
I wouldn't take on this
catering job myself.
Really?
But Andrew's your
best friend and
you wouldn't cook for
him on his wedding day?
That's exactly the
reason why not.
So, it's beneath you then?
No! No no no, I just...
I just want to be
there on the big day,
not working the big day.
Well, cooking isn't work to me.
Oh, that's true but it's
really, it's a lot of time.
Yeah, but time spent doing
something wonderful for Jenna.
Yeah, but no one
remembers an appetizer,
they remember how they
felt and who was there.
So I just, I just
want to be there,
standing next to my best friend.
Well, I will be there,
nourishing my family.
I think it's an honor to cook
for my sister at her wedding.
And it is. I just, you
don't have to do it.
I want to!
Okay.
Look, Jenna asked me,
and I won't let her down.
I hope not.
Are these the wise and
supportive words of a mentor?
No.
Talking me out of doing a job?
Disappointing my family?
No no no.
It's not what I meant.
I'm just trying to be realistic
and practical here and...
You don't know me or
what I'm capable of.
I guess not.
Well, great pep talk.
So I guess I'll see
you at the wedding.
Kiki, I...
I'm just really
excited to get in there
and use that industrial oven.
I'm sorry, what?
Okay, but surely you can
have someone come in
and fix it before then.
Okay, could you, could you
have another one brought in?
No I don't have one.
Okay, if there's no
replacement I'll just,
I'll just have to come
up with something else.
No. A stovetop is not going
to cut it, I'm afraid.
What would be helpful
is a functioning oven.
Okay, yeah. Thanks.
Thanks for your help.
Hello.
Hi Cynthia, it's Angie calling.
Angie! It's been a bit
since we caught up.
Tell me about Rory.
Has he settled in?
Rory is thriving now.
And he's doing well in school.
He's even on the track team.
Ah! Seems you're working
your Angie magic again.
Well I certainly never give up.
I'm actually not
calling about Rory.
It's about my Jenna.
You placed her with me
about twenty years ago
after her mom passed.
Uh huh. That's when
you and I met.
You called because you saw a
lost girl sitting on a bench.
Your instincts were right.
She's getting
married this weekend!
That's wonderful!
The wedding has brought up
some issues about her past
and I was wondering if
you had any information
about her father?
Hmm. Let's see.
There's not much here.
Just his name...
Theo Whitaker.
Theo. Last known address?
Well, there's nothing
in the computer.
But let me find
the old paper file.
One sec.
Whitaker... Whitaker...
Ah, here it is.
Good thing we never get rid
of any paperwork over here!
Let's see...
Well, her parents separated
when she was three.
He awarded Jane, the mother,
full custody and
relocated out of state.
Seems he kept up child support
payments until she was 10.
Then they appear
to be disrupted.
That's not great.
It's not totally unusual.
You know, personally,
I remember that Jane was
very protective of Jenna.
Jane also didn't come to us
until she was quite sick.
It's possible her illness
was affecting her thinking.
Well, that could explain
why she didn't
reach out to Theo.
Definitely. Maybe she didn't
really know what to do.
No wonder Jenna has questions.
When Jane passed away, the
caseworker tried to track down
Theo and looked for other
family but didn't find anyone.
Well, everything's online now,
maybe I'll have better luck.
Thanks Cynthia.
I have a few contacts that
might be able to help as well.
I'm quite resourceful, you know.
How's Kiki doing?
Oh you know her.
Taking on too much but loving
every minute of it!
Oh I know. She's one of the
best stories we've had.
The agency found her
such a loving family
when she was a toddler.
Then after what happened
I was so glad that we
could place her with you.
I hope everything
goes well with Jenna.
And the wedding.
I'll let you know how it goes.
Please do.
Argghh! What is it now?
Hello?
Hey Keeks. Where are you?
I'm at home,
prepping everything.
Are you going to our spa day?
We're going to do mani pedis.
Oh Jenna, I'm so sorry,
I, I completely forgot!
You forgot?
I'm kidding.
Don't beat yourself up.
Shari and I will have all
the fun, but we'll miss you!
Hi Kiki.
I really appreciate
everything you're doing
for Andrew and me.
Are you sure it wasn't
it too much of an ask
to have you do the food?
Absolutely not!
I'm happy to be part
of your special day.
And I will only be happier
when we're on that
dance floor together.
I hear you.
If only we could just skip
over this next little bit
and get to the dance floor.
Skip the wedding?
Oh, no, I, I just mean there
are a lot of parts and pieces
that haven't fallen
into place yet.
I have a lot on my mind.
Well, um,
you don't have anything to
worry about in terms of food.
No, everything is under control.
Okay.
Is there anything else
I can help you with?
I doubt it.
Jenna, I know that things are
crazy right now, but just,
just think about that
moment when you're in
your wedding dress, and Andrew
sees you for the first time,
standing at the altar about
to marry your best friend.
I mean, that's what
it's all about, right?
Yeah. Yeah, you're right.
Thanks Kiki.
You're my ray of sunshine.
Well, anytime. You know what?
Send me some pics
of your nails, okay!
I'll try not to be too jealous.
Deal.
Okay.
Yeah, interesting question.
No, ah, no, I don't think
Andrew's much of a karaoke guy.
Oh, one sec.
Ah, Evan, I got
to call you back.
Thank you for meeting with me.
Hey, I'm sorry about what
I said back at the food market.
I didn't mean to offend you.
I appreciate that.
I might have been feeling a
little sensitive that day.
Thank you.
So, was there a
particular reason
that you wanted to meet
me and buy me a coffee?
Um...
Catering a one hundred
person formal event is...
It's proving to be
out of my comfort zone.
Just everything I
planned and prepped for
is falling apart at the seams.
So you need help?
I need this wedding
to be perfect
because that is
what Jenna deserves.
Okay.
Well, let me connect you
to some people I know
who cater big events.
No, I can do this.
I need to do this.
You're stubborn!
Dedicated.
All right, well,
talk to me, Kiki because I can't
help if I don't understand.
Cooking it's...
It's what I know.
That's how I express myself
and my love for others.
I grew up in the
foster care system.
But before you start
feeling sorry for me,
I was really lucky.
And I ended up with a
really loving family.
They gave me a lot,
but I didn't have much
I could give back.
Except, I, I could cook.
I could bring a smile to my
foster dad's face with a cookie,
or make Angie feel better with
a pot of chicken noodle soup.
It probably sounds silly.
No, no. It makes a lot
of sense, actually.
Food is caring. I get that.
I can't let my family down.
I need to do this.
Okay.
Well in that case, Kiki,
just tell me what you need.
Okay.
Cheers.
Cheers.
So, this is the original menu,
but with no salmon and
no industrial ovens now,
things have had to change.
And I've been trying
to adapt this one,
but just, nothing seems to work.
You've got good ideas
here, big ideas.
This is way too complicated,
without a working oven onsite.
Well, Angie has two
stoves at the house
so I could prep all the main
course protein there, and...
It's only twenty
minutes from the venue.
Twenty minutes is a
lifetime in food service.
I could offer up my
industrial ovens.
They're bigger and
hotter than Angie's,
but we're still forty
minutes from the venue here
so I don't think that
helps you either.
No.
Thank you, thank you. But no.
Well, you cannot be a chef
and a roast beef taxi driver.
Well, actually, I'm probably
going to be doing prime rib.
Who's helping you with this?
No one.
I just need to prep
as much as I can.
If I can get the timing perfect,
then all I have to worry about
is plating the food and
the servers will take care
of everything else.
All right. Well let's say that
you do manage to pull that off,
between the prep, the cooking,
and then the travel to Angie's,
there is no way that you
can be at the ceremony.
The ceremony...
I didn't think about that.
Don't you want to be
there to see your sister
actually get married?
Of course.
But I'm sure there will be
lots of photos and video.
Kiki, you got to look at
the bigger picture here.
What you are trying to do for
your sister, it's admirable.
And I know it comes
from nothing but love.
But what you want to do with
dinner, this takes a village.
Well, I don't have a
village, I have me.
Look, I'm good. I'm quick.
And I'll do whatever it takes.
And I am not
questioning your talent.
That's not what
this is about that.
This is just about timing
and manpower and finesse.
Come here. I want to
show you something.
We're creating a new dish
for the menu tonight.
All head chefs have sous chefs.
Technically we could do
it alone, but we don't.
And the food is better for it.
How are we looking?
Ready chef!
Let's get a little
more salt on that lamb.
Hmm. The jus is delicious.
Is that cinnamon?
Yeah.
Brilliant.
Thank you, Chef.
All right.
Beautiful work everyone.
Thank you so much.
Have a great service tonight.
Have a great time tonight.
And say hi to Crystal.
I will. Thank you.
After you.
So what did you
think of my team?
Okay, you may be onto something.
Sheer determination
alone may not cut it.
And that's just for one dish.
Okay. Fine.
This is me waving my
stubborn little white flag.
Will you help me simplify
these dishes and
make them actually doable?
I'd love to.
But I, actually,
have to get going.
I've got a reservation
at a restaurant opening.
Oh! Okay.
Yeah, well, um...
Thank you for your time
and all your advice.
Why don't you come with me.
What?
Be my plus one.
Me?
I can't go to a restaurant
opening dressed like this.
Not unless it's
for a drive thru.
No, no.
I'm afraid this is a bit more
of a fine dining experience.
And it's a ten
course tasting menu.
So, I hope you're hungry.
Yeah!
But, are you're sure you
want me to be your date?
I'm not saying that
this is a date.
That's not what I meant.
Right. Well, think of this
more as two chefs meeting
and expanding our palates
and stomachs together.
We can continue
this discussion and
see if any last minute
inspiration comes to you.
What do you think?
I need to change first.
But, yes, a hundred times yes!
Excellent!
Jenna!
I thought you were having brunch
today with your future in-laws?
Is this it?
Is this what, sweetheart?
One box?
When I came to live with you,
I only had one box to show
for the thirteen years of
life I had before that?
You had some clothes
and books and a stuffy.
There's nothing really here.
What are you hoping to find?
Why has he never
come to look for me?
He seems so familiar, yet
I have no memory of him.
This picture is the
only evidence I have
that he even exists.
But what happened?
They look so happy.
Why didn't it work
out for my parents?
And what if there's a
reason I haven't thought of
that Andrew and I
won't work out?
Oh no.
You and Andrew have had
your own ups and downs
but you've come back
together, stronger.
He's my person.
Yes.
Anyone with eyes can see
you two belong together.
Probably just cold feet.
Well, calm your mind.
And those feet.
Time to listen to your heart.
I'm looking for Theo.
Yeah, that's me.
How can I help you?
I'm Angie Hartman.
I'm a foster parent, with
Benefit Foster Care Service.
I'm sorry, I can't make
any donation today.
Oh, no no no!
I'm actually here on behalf of
your daughter, Jenna Whitaker.
Jenna?
You know where she is?
Yes I do.
And she's getting
married this weekend.
My little Jenna,
getting married...
Well, the impending marriage has
brought up questions for Jenna
about her past,
where she comes from.
I haven't seen Jenna
since she was a toddler.
What can I possibly do for her?
Her mother can answer
anything she wants to know.
I'm so sorry to be the
one to tell you this,
but Jane passed away,
almost twenty years ago.
I know that's a lot to take in.
But your daughter could
really use you now.
Jane's gone...
And for that long? Wait, how...
Where did you say you're from?
I'm a foster parent from
Benefit Foster Care Service.
Jenna was in foster care?
Oh, I can assure you, she
was loved and supported,
and has grown into a lovely,
thriving, happy young woman.
I think you'd be very proud.
Are you open to
meeting with her?
No.
No, she doesn't want
to meet with me.
There's no point in
dredging up the past.
Look, I appreciate you
coming all the way out here
to tell me about her.
But ah...
I think you'd better leave.
Of course, if that's
what you want.
I sure hope you
change your mind.
And if you do, I'm leaving
my number in your mailbox.
Mm, mmm...
Hands down that is the best
thing I've ever tasted.
Mm hm. A little bit
heat at the end.
Yes!
You know, my only critique.
I wish there was more because I
could eat another forty of them.
I think that might defeat the
purpose of a tasting menu.
Tasting menu is a way
to dip your toes in,
but I'm just realizing that...
Thank you.
I'm more of a jump in
the deep end kind of gal.
Yeah, I sensed that about you.
I like it.
You're not like most
other people, Kiki.
What do you mean?
Most people don't invest all
their money into a food truck?
Hm?
Or agree to cater
their sister's wedding
with no idea if they can
actually pull it off?
No, no. You're one
in a million there.
But, I got to give it to you.
You've got to dream
big to win big.
Well, you would know.
7 Basil is one of the best
restaurants in the city.
You're very modest
about the whole thing.
It's a big deal!
Most chefs dream of owning
their own restaurant.
Yes I am kind of proud of that.
Come on.
No. I just want to
be in the kitchen,
throwing ingredients
together, cooking.
Where does that come from?
Home. My parents always
wanted the best for me.
They had dreams of
me becoming a doctor.
I tried to want it
for a few years.
And I even started med school.
Wow.
And I was pretty good
for a few years at being
who I thought I should be.
But then every day after these
long, grueling classes in school
I would come home and I
would be in the kitchen,
cooking deep into the night.
And I think that for me, that
was a kind of a release.
You know, it's how
I found my peace.
I get that.
And, of course, Andrew was
my roommate at the time.
So he ate like a king.
Well, I realized that by being
who my parents wanted me to be,
I was missing out
on my own life.
I bet your parents
were thrilled.
Yeah, no. They, they...
They did not think that I
could have a career as a chef.
They didn't think
it was a real job.
But, I took the risk and
faced their disappointment
to go to culinary school.
Wow. So you, you
really committed then.
Yeah, I put in the hard work
and pursued the flavors
that inspired me,
found my voice.
You know, the restaurant
success is just a bonus.
Honestly, it's kind
of a hindrance.
And I feel like I can't be
creative or try big bold
new things, just in case
it doesn't work out.
You know honestly, it feels like
being back in medical school.
I feel like I'm doing everything
to please other people.
Sorry.
That must be tough.
Maybe that's why you're
such a breath of fresh air.
You remind me of the
importance of taking risks.
Angie always jokes that my
daydreaming is going to get me
into trouble, but,
no I always find that
it's my saving grace.
It gets me to where
I'm supposed to be.
Well, maybe you can teach me
to dream like that again.
Maybe I will.
Cheers to that.
Cheers.
- Thank you.
- This looks good.
And we have seven
more courses left.
Wow! This looks like
a great card night.
Yeah, I just hope
everyone loves it.
I ran some of my ideas
by Josh and Clay,
and if I'm being honest, they
don't all seem to be winners.
You didn't suggest
the karaoke, did you?
Hey, some people
actually love karaoke!
I told you.
Okay, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
Look, Clay and Andrew have been
friends since they were kids!
Then Josh and Andrew,
they've know each other
since football days.
And me, I don't really know
any of them all that well.
Well, you are a
part my like now.
So you are a part
of this family,
whether it feels
that way or not.
Hey, they just, they need
to get to know you. Okay.
And they will see the
thoughtful, funny,
amazing man that I
fell in love with.
Hey, no one night is
going to going to create
this lasting bond.
Okay. I will chill out with
the overplanning then.
That sounds like a plan.
You think you're funny, huh.
Okay, listen, I want
to take you somewhere.
And get your mind off
all this thinking.
Where are we heading?
You'll see.
Oh, that's incredible!
Yeah, at one point
there were four teens
and two pre-teens in that house.
Angie is an angel.
Yes she is.
I still look forward
to every Sunday,
gathering at the house
for Sunday Supper.
And it can be a wild
dynamic, because
you never know which kid
is going to show up
because we're all just so
different, yet we're connected.
You know, you might
have something there.
What do you mean?
What if for the wedding,
instead of individual
plates for everybody,
what if you did it
family style service?
Like, platters on the tables?
Yeah, like platters,
serving bowls.
You said you value the community
aspect of Sunday Supper.
Well, family style
means that guests
are interacting with each
other, serving each other.
Yeah. I love that.
It's a nod to Angie and
our crazy family dinners.
I mean, they always say that
a meal should tell a story.
Exactly.
Tandoori chicken!
I'm not sure if
that's the story...
No no no no no.
Before Jenna went to college,
we went on a girls' long
weekend to New York City.
Just me, Jenna, Shari, our first
time away from Angie's, and,
oh, we had the best time.
But we also had the most
delicious tandoori chicken
from this tiny authentic
Indian restaurant.
That's a great story.
Yeah. I could do tandoori
chicken for the wedding.
Okay, but you'd still
don't have an oven.
Where you going to find
yourself a tandoor?
Well, my food truck
has a stone oven.
And I can double it
to make tandoori.
And we can park it at the venue.
Which solves the problem
of the travel time
between Angie's
place and the venue.
- Perfect! Brilliant!
- Yes!
Do you really think we
could pull that off?
I don't doubt it. Never have.
Clay?
It's been way too long.
So good to see you.
Congratulations.
I think you have something
really special here.
Thank you for coming.
Honestly, it means the
world that you're here.
No, so happy to be here.
Kiki, may I introduce you
to the executive chef and
brilliant mind behind all these
plates we just had tonight.
This is Crystal.
Pleasure to meet you.
It's, the food has
been incredible!
I mean, those dumplings
that are shaped like birds
just sitting on the nest.
Thanks.
Kiki's quite the chef herself.
She actually runs one of the
most popular food trucks
in the city.
Food truck! How cute.
It's just hand crafted pizzas.
I'd love to come check it out.
Sure, yeah.
It was really nice
meeting you, Kiki.
- See you Friday, Clay!
- Yeah.
Well, that was a nice surprise.
Hey, Clay.
So did you see my
food truck outside?
I did. She's a beauty.
And that pizza
oven is next level!
I mean, you really did a
great job with a small space.
Well, she's small
but she's mighty.
Yeah, the Kiki way.
So what's cooking?
I have all the
other dishes sorted.
I'm glad you're still feeling
excited about your new plan.
Cautiously optimistic.
Well, it smells
delicious already.
Here's hoping!
Just doing a final tandoori test
just in case this one
isn't quite right.
And we check it in
fifteen minutes.
Umm... Right.
Now what are you doing?
Well, I have these
three marinades
just in case the first
one isn't quite right.
No, no no no. Your first
sauce smelled incredible.
Trust your instincts.
No. Instincts or not, but I have
had enough stuff go wrong on me
in the last few days.
How many times did
you taste the sauce
before you put it in the oven?
Three times.
Of course you did.
And how did it taste?
It was really good.
Of course it was. Because
you're an excellent chef.
But that doesn't mean...
I'm going to tell you this
because no one ever said
this to me when I doubted myself
and needed to hear it the most.
I believe in you.
You've been running around
trying to make everything
perfect and keep all
theses balls in the air,
but if you keep doing this
you will burn yourself out
and you're going to resent
your sister's wedding day
if you don't find some way to
enjoy yourself in this process.
Give yourself fifteen minutes.
To do what?
I don't know.
What do you want to do?
Pshhhh... Ah...
Well, we now have
twelve minutes, so...
I have an idea.
This is the best latte
I've had in a long time.
You're a fantastic barista.
Oh, thank you.
It's my favorite when
I'm taking a break.
What?
I do take breaks.
Sometimes.
Okay, fine.
Once in a blue moon.
About as often as I do then.
Hey, don't you have a restaurant
that you should be prepping for
this evening?
No, they're closed tonight.
They're busy getting ready for
the rehearsal dinner tomorrow.
Ah, so you are cooking
the rehearsal dinner?
Nope. I'm letting another chef
take the lead on this one.
Looking forward to being a guest
this time, you know, just having
a glass of wine and hanging
with Andrew and the family.
Yeah, that sounds really nice.
Well, hopefully
you'll be there too.
I should be, but
there's a few things...
Don't miss out
on your life, Kiki.
It's happening right now.
Yeah, you're right.
Tandoori time!
A moment of truth.
Hmmm.
Tender, juicy, perfectly spiced.
Hm. Surprising.
It's good though, right?
It's so good.
And you're not just saying that?
Do I look like a man who
would lie about food?
But it's not the traditional
beef or fish option
that most weddings go for.
Is that going to be a problem?
No no no.
You don't want to give them
what they think they want.
You want to give them
something even better.
Because you, Kiki, are better.
Kiki's Famous Tandoori Chicken.
How's that for branding?
It's not famous yet.
Well, just you wait.
It will be. It's that good.
Hmm. It's going to
taste even better
when it's in the pizza oven.
You could put this
on your pizza.
What do you think about that?
I could!
Do it the Kiki Way.
Yeah. Kiki's Famous
Tandoori Chicken Pizza.
Hmmmm. I'm liking
the sound of that.
You know, famous
is growing on me.
So, tandoori it is!
Great!
Oh! Sorry.
So, I'm just thinking, that
it's going to take some time
to prep and cook everything.
Plus, I still have to
worry about the sides.
Uh huh.
Well, it was something that
you said has me thinking.
That if I want to be
able to breath and enjoy
the wedding with my family,
that maybe it might
be a good idea
to have another pair of hands.
So, do you think you could...?
Make a call to my staff?
Nothing would make me happier.
Great. Thank you.
I'll send a quick text.
So, we love the tandoori.
And how are you
feeling about the sides?
Ah, good.
I think just keep them
simple, but delicious.
I just, I just don't
anything to compete
with that tandoori flavor, so...
Great.
Well actually,
I have something that might
be a source of inspiration.
What is that?
You'll have to trust me.
Pick you up tomorrow
morning say, 8 am?
Yes, Chef!
Not bad.
This is turning out
to be quite the adventure.
So, where to next?
Uh, well, there will be food.
Another restaurant?
No.
No, it's not another restaurant.
It's, it's a surprise.
Hmmm.
Just a little further.
Right this way.
Clay! Oh my gosh.
It's so good to see you!
So good to see you!
Martha, I want to introduce
you to Kiki Mercer.
Do you remember my
old friend, Andrew?
Sure.
Well, he's getting
married to Kiki's sister.
Oh wow!
Well, welcome to our
community food pantry.
Martha's a hugger.
Me too! So that ended
up working out.
Welcome, Kiki.
Any friend of Clay's
is a friend of mine.
Come to think of it,
Clay doesn't often
bring friends here.
Hmmm.
All right. Let me give
you the pointing tour.
Kitchen.
Non-perishable food pantry.
Help yourself table.
Restroom downstairs.
Got it.
So, if you two want to help,
you can go into the pantry
and start bagging some new
donations into shopping bags.
On it, boss.
Great!
We got a whole van of donations
from a high school fund raiser.
- Oh wow.
- Wow.
Yeah, let's get to it.
- Right this way.
- Great.
Thanks.
How's it going?
This food pantry
feeds a lot of people.
Martha, she seems great.
Yeah, she is.
I've known her
forever at this point.
Since Andrew and I were
roommates in college.
You know, at the time I
was studying day and night
just to keep my scholarship.
All I was doing was waking up,
going to class and then going
right home and studying, eating,
and going right back to bed.
Well, that's not much of a life.
No, it wasn't.
I don't talk about this much,
but it was really a
lonely couple years.
And Andrew was my only friend.
Then I found this place.
Everyone here accepted
me for who I was.
Without judgement.
And now Martha, got me
interested in feeding people
and taking care of them.
It changed my life.
Thank you.
For what?
For bringing me here today
and for sharing your story.
When we love what we do,
that's a super power.
I'll put this one in the back.
Oh thank you.
Hey, did you catch
the game last night?
I don't even want
to think about it.
Albert, my man!
How are you doing?
Can't complain.
Always better when I see you.
Likewise.
Hey, ah, how's your wife?
A lot better.
She's coming home from
the hospital together.
Ah, good good good.
Happy for you too.
Any chance on doubling
up on tea for us?
She said the stuff in that
place is barely drinkable.
Of course, yeah.
Anything else you need?
Nothing specific.
Whatever you have is good.
I don't want to take up
anymore of you and your
lady friend's time.
Okay.
Oh no. It's not like that.
I hear you saying the words,
but I see my friend's
smile, don't I?
All right, I'll go get your tea.
He's a catch. Hmmm?
Everyone is so friendly.
Yeah, that's why I like
to spend time here.
You know, I actually started
getting my parents out here too.
Yeah, they bring these
nonperishables to contribute,
hang out, make some friends.
They love it.
You have a big
heart, you know that.
I do what I can.
I do need to find some
balance in my life.
I can't just always
define myself
as being busy all of the time.
Even though I do have a
lot on my plate, right now.
Pun intended.
Pun appreciated.
Yeah, you deserve to be
something other than
just busy all the time.
You know what?
After all this wedding
business is done,
I'd like to bring
my food truck here,
give everyone a hot meal.
Every super hero does need
a great set of wheels.
Hm. Yeah, you know what?
I might have to come up with a
new name for the food truck.
Maybe the, um...
The Flavor Crusader?
Um... Power Pies
and Mighty Meals?
No!
Guardians of the Gourmet.
Oh!
There's even some merchandise
that can go with that.
I'll buy the T-shirt.
Just a T-shirt?
Thanks for coming.
Have some sandwiches.
All right. I got this.
All right.
Thank you for having me today.
Well, you're welcome any time.
Now, she's a keeper.
Okay, all right.
- I'll see you next week.
- Uh huh.
I figured it out.
What?
Martha. She's like Angie.
She's kind and warm and
welcoming to everyone.
Martha is your Angie.
I guess she kind of is.
After you.
Thank you for bringing me today.
I think I really
needed that break.
Well, it was nice to
share it with you.
Well, the footage was
destroyed and needless to say,
we ended up in detention
for a few days.
But I'm glad because that's
where we bonded, right.
Ford to the fire.
And seriously, Andrew,
you're just the best.
And you and Jenna
you're perfect together.
And you're an example
of what love can be.
It's an inspiration, truly.
Seeing you, I can't
wait to lean into love,
and be as happy you
two are together.
Cheers to the happy couple.
Cheers!
Love you guys.
Cheers.
I'm so glad you're
here, and smiling!
I'm sorry if this
week's been stressful.
It's been busy, but I'm just so
excited to celebrate tomorrow.
Why exactly are you this smiley?
Is it a boy?
Jenna, I told you we should
have kept the plus one!
I don't need a plus one to the
wedding, thank you very much.
Yeah, you're right.
How would you have time to flirt
with all this wedding prep?
Right, well, I don't! So.
Good.
So save us a dance on
the dance floor because
I put some special requests
in with the deejay.
No!
Get your Dirty
Dancing moves ready.
Angie, why do I always have
to play Patrick Swayze?
You're very good at it.
Clay, you have truly out done
yourself with this meal.
Oh well, I'm glad
you enjoyed it.
But actually I can't
take full credit for it.
I may have hired
a special friend
to help me with the
meal prep this evening.
Hey, Chef! Get over her.
This is Chef Crystal.
Crystal?
Hi! Oh my gosh!
It's great to see you.
Nice to see you too.
Oh, Jenna, this is Crystal.
We used to hang all the time
when these two were
in culinary school.
Nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you too.
So Chef Crystal here just opened
a restaurant on Massey street.
But she was kind enough
to take the evening off tonight
to help us out here.
Anything for you, Clay.
Lemon Willow! I've been reading
rave reviews about that place!
Thank you!
I'd love for you to come
check it out sometime.
I wish. I hear it's
impossible to get a table
unless you happen
to know somebody.
Hmm... I can book you in.
That would be great!
Thank you.
Well, if you like this you
should taste what Kiki's
cooking up for us tomorrow
in her food truck.
A food truck at a wedding?
That's different!
It's just acting like
a portable kitchen
because there's no
working oven at the venue.
Clay here has been telling
me that you've had
so many bumps along the way.
I just think it's so great that
he's been helping you out.
It's going to be great, Kiki.
Well, if it's anything
like this meal,
then it will be glorious.
Excuse me.
Ah, excuse me everyone.
Sorry to interrupt.
I just wanted to take this
opportunity to declare,
yet again, how much I love
this woman sitting next to me.
I can't believe I get
to marry you tomorrow.
I'm so excited.
Yeah! Woo, woo!
Andrew Clarington, I can't
believe you can still manage
to make me blush.
Yes!
Tonight's been so special.
Thank you for being here.
You all mean so much to us,
and we wouldn't be who
we are today without...
Are you okay?
Theo!
I'm so glad you could join us.
Theo?
Sorry, I don't
believe we've met.
This is Theo Whitaker.
It's my father.
Hi...
Hi Jenna. You look beautiful.
What are you doing here?
How did you...?
Jenna... I, I'm sorry.
You don't get to just show
up in my life when you want.
I'm, I'm so sorry.
I didn't know you grew
up in foster care. I...
Please.
I'm here now, if you...
Stop.
Okay, um, why don't we
just grab a seat, um...
Did you know about this too?
I mean, I spoke to Angie about
how upset you were, but...
I don't believe this.
Jenna... Just wait.
- Don't follow me.
- Jenna, please.
I want to be alone.
She'll be okay.
She just needs time.
I shouldn't have come.
Theo... I'm so sorry.
Has anybody seen Kiki?
Did she leave?
Oh, there you are.
Are you leaving?
Yes. Big day tomorrow.
Oh, I was going to help you.
I know. I thought we
were real friends.
We are...
It feels like you didn't
have my back in there.
When Crystal was putting
my food truck down,
you didn't say anything.
I, I, I'm sorry.
I must have missed it
with everyone going on.
No, of course I have your back.
Always.
Then let me go.
See you tomorrow.
Okay, that's the last of them.
Where's Kiki?
I don't know.
I think she's still
prepping for dinner.
She still has to get ready.
I know. I'm sure
she'll be here soon.
Is my father here?
No.
Jenna, I'm so sorry I didn't
talk to you about your father.
You should have
talked to me first.
I should have.
I didn't mean to
betray your trust.
I know your heart was
in the right place.
I want to talk to him.
I need to talk to my dad.
Of course.
Like, right now.
Like, right now? Like, today?
I won't feel ready to
walk down the aisle
until I talk to him.
Okay. Let's go get your dad!
Hey! Best man here to
deliver the rings!
You take care of the bride.
We'll be back.
What's going on?
Where's Kiki?
Theo?
Theo!
Kiki, what are you doing?
What does it look like?
I'm preparing.
Where's my sous chef?
They were supposed
to be here by now.
I sent him home because
I can do this on my own.
Kiki, I thought you agreed
to bring on a sous chef
so you'd have time to enjoy
yourself at the wedding.
Why does it matter to you?
This wedding dinner is going
to be over soon enough,
and then I don't have
to bother you anymore
with my cute little food
truck and my big ideas.
Bother me?
I'm not a charity case, Clay.
Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa!
Where's this coming from?
Look, I have committed
to this now and
I have to see it through.
I can't let Jenna down.
Did you know her father
showed up last night
at the rehearsal dinner
after you snuck out?
- What?
- Yeah.
She's in there, she's refusing
to walk down the aisle.
She's hurt, she's confused
and she doesn't need dinner,
she needs her sister.
She needs you.
This is the most important
day of her life,
and I'm out here doing...
This!
I want to be with Jenna.
So go. I'll cover for you
until my sous chef gets back.
Thank you.
Thank me later. Go!
Have we been standing
here for two hours?
Close.
Eight-and-a-half minutes.
Something's wrong.
Something's definitely wrong.
Jenna doesn't want
to marry me any more.
What? What? No.
Not possible.
Maybe she fell down a
well and can't get out.
Look, Jenna is a woman
who knows what she wants
and that's obviously been
you since high school.
She'll be here.
What's taking so long?
Hey.
What are you doing
in here all alone?
My dad's on his way.
Okay. Is that what you wanted?
Something in me wants him here.
He's basically a stranger.
But he also feels
familiar too, you know?
Of course. He's, he's your dad.
He's part of you.
I don't even know what
I want him to say.
I don't know if there's
anything he can say.
Maybe not.
But he's putting in the effort
to show up for you today.
I mean, that's a
good start, right?
But how do we move forward?
Angie told me that he didn't
know I was in foster care
or that my mom died.
Oh, wow.
Yeah.
He clearly doesn't care to be
involved in my life at all.
Jenna, look...
Maybe everything
happens for a reason.
Huh?
I mean, just think about
how different your life
would have been
had he been there.
You wouldn't know Angie.
Or me!
Shari or Josh.
Not even Andrew.
My life would be
totally different.
Oh yeah.
I love my life.
I wouldn't want it
to be any other way.
What happened with your mom and
your dad all those years ago,
it's hard.
But it also brought you here.
And now you have a
life that you love.
And if you want,
a chance to get
to know your dad.
It's probably not going
to get fixed today.
Thank you Kiki.
You always know how to
make me feel better.
How do you do that?
Pshhh. I don't know.
I didn't even have to
use food this time!
I love you.
I love you.
Now, let's get you excited
for what we what we
came here for today!
We've all known since you guys
were sweethearts in high school.
And that is, that you two...
Are meant to be!
Mrs. Jenna Clarington.
How do you even have this?
I got all your hand-me-down
text books from school.
This was scribbled inside.
This is so embarrassing.
Nooooo...
That's love baby!
Now, you're not going to get
married in this robe, are you?
- No!
- No?
Uh huh.
So let's go and get you dressed!
- Okay.
- Okay.
Any minute now.
For sure.
Hey!
You guys okay up here?
Uh huh. Uh hm.
Could be better.
Anything I can do to help?
No. You just being here and
supporting my family is amazing.
And we can still dance
the night away later?
Oh you know it.
Is your tie bothering you?
Too tight?
Yeah, just a bit.
- Better?
- Perfect.
- Thank you.
- You're welcome.
Pssst! Josh! Josh!
Go ahead.
Yeah, so, a little update here.
What's going on?
Yeah, so Shari texted me.
What did she say?
No worries, it's okay.
Everything's okay.
Um, but it does turn out
that Jenna actually does
want her father here.
So, Shari's on her way
to pick him up now.
Okay. Okay, good.
- Yeah, that's good.
- I think that's good.
No, it's just a little
delay, that's all.
Sorry the party thing
didn't work out.
Ah, it's okay, man.
I'm just sorry we had to
cancel the go karting.
We're going go karting?
Happy to be here.
I'm happy you could
be here too, Evan.
Um, did you hear from Jenna?
Is she okay?
Yes, she's fine.
She'll be here soon.
She just wanted to make
sure today is a day
where family is first.
You look incredible.
Thank you.
I need you to know,
it wasn't my decision.
I adored you!
My job, it kept me away
for months at a time.
And your mother and I,
we tried to make it work,
but we just grew apart.
It broke my heart.
Dad...
The idea of you
being in foster care...
I never would have
let that happen
if I had known your
mother was gone.
I'm sorry things happened
to you the way they did.
But...
Please don't blame yourself.
Everything turned out okay.
Better than okay.
I got really lucky.
And I really love my life.
And I want the same
thing for you too.
Thank you.
I know we have a
long way to go...
And there's lots to get to
know about each other, but
I'm glad we have the chance
to do that going forward.
And I'd really love it if
you stayed for the wedding.
And, um...
If you're feeling up for it,
I would love it if you walked
me down the aisle with Angie.
It would be the
honor of my life.
So...
Are we ready?
Yes!
All good?
Seems to be. How Kiki?
How do you know I know that?
Oh, Clay. We all know.
We all know, bro.
The flowers look amazing, Angie.
Thank you for everything.
You deserve the world.
Come on, Dad!
Am I on the correct side?
Feels right to me.
Hi.
Hi. Sorry about the wait.
You're worth it.
- You look beautiful.
- Thank you.
- You're very handsome.
- I know.
Jenna, the food was incredible.
It was perfect.
All thanks to my sis.
Thank you for coming back and
for all of your work today.
You helped make it
a very special day.
Your menu did all the hard work.
Servers said all the
plates came back empty.
That's a good sign.
Thank you.
Have a good night.
Got any lattes in that truck?
Oh, I wish!
All weddings should serve them.
Rain check.
Absolutely.
Everybody is asking
for you inside.
They want to pay their
compliments to the chef.
You did it, Kiki.
We did it.
I think I still owe
you a thank you.
Oh yeah.
Well, let's hear it.
I couldn't have done this alone.
And if you hadn't shaken
some sense into me
I would have missed out on a
beautiful day with my family.
Was there a thank you
in there, or something?
So thank you...
For all of your help,
in and out of the kitchen.
Well, thank you
for dreaming big and
staying true to yourself.
And for inspiring
me to do the same.
Sounds like Jenna's about
to toss the bouquet.
Do you want to go inside,
catch some flowers?
See what happens?
No.
I think I have everything
I want right here.
Me too.
You know, Andrew really
made me realize that a
work life balance is
something worth fighting for.
I think we can
both agree on that.
Do you want to work
on that with me?
Are you asking me
to work with you?
No no... Um...
I've never met someone
that I could see
spending my whole life with.
And I, I see you, Kiki.
And I see what we can be.
And...
I love you.
I see it too.
I love you.
Should we join the party?
Why not!
Is that a...
That's a dance off
challenge, right there.
It's a little
demonstration then?
