Ruby? Hey, Ruby.
Ruby, good morning.
Buenos días.
Oh. Morning.
- Something wrong with your room?
- No.
No, um.
I-I-I came out here last night
because I thought Isla would show up.
But I guess I fell asleep.
Yes, you did.
All you all right?
Yeah, yeah, yeah man.
Oh, my back's a little
pissed off at me.
I just don't get it.
Why does she keep ghosting me?
I don't know, Ruby.
But my advice
When someone shows you who they are,
you believe them.
Now, come on.
It's almost time to meet the plane.
[DREAMY MUSIC]
♪
Oh.
A honeymoon?
Just the opposite.
- A divorce?
- Not that opposite.
- Meet Laura Turner.
- Hi.
I'm your host, Elena Roarke,
and this is my associate, Ruby.
Welcome to Fantasy Island.
Thank you.
What a beautiful dress.
Uh, yeah, I guess it is.
Do you get a lot
of jilted brides on the island?
Um, you're the first one.
Yippee.
You've been through a lot, Laura.
David's going to take
your luggage to your suite,
and then we can talk.
No luggage.
It's just me.
["HERE COMES THE BRIDE"]
♪
- Mm.
- Okay.
You know, I haven't
even really cried yet.
I mean, I keep thinking I will, but
No.
Well, just in case
They're the good ones, but with aloe.
Why don't you tell us what happened?
I was supposed to get married
three days ago, and my fi
My ex-fiancé, Brad, didn't show up.
Mm.
Did he say why?
He just texted, "Laura,
I'm sorry, I can't marry you."
That's it.
Now you know as much as I do.
Ouch.
I mean, I thought we were so happy.
[PHONE RINGING]
Were you fighting more than usual?
We had this disagreement
about the seating arrangements
during rehearsal dinner, and
And there were a
couple other little things.
But, I mean, that's normal, right?
Mm. Yeah.
Three days before
Mel and I got married,
I locked myself in the bathroom
over the color of the napkins.
[CHUCKLES]
I just I don't understand
what happened.
[PHONE RINGING]
- Do you need to take that?
- No.
No, that is my parents
trying to find me.
- And you don't want to be found?
- Not by them.
They are the last people
that I need to see right now.
You don't get along?
They don't get along.
If you knew them, you'd understand.
I'm an only child
of a really bad divorce.
So, if I talk to my dad,
my mom gets upset.
And if I talk to my mom,
my dad gets upset.
It's been that way since I was 12.
So it's just easier right now
if I don't have to
deal with either one.
- Sounds difficult.
- Yeah.
Luckily, I had this imaginary friend,
Peaches,
to complain to.
She got me through the worst of it.
Mine was Jasmine.
So what can the Island
do for you, Laura?
Well, I've never felt
more alone or unloved.
So
My fantasy would be
to feel loved, completely.
[GENTLE MUSIC]
I understand.
Completely.
And you will, I promise.
I'll take you to your suite.
[PHONE RINGING]
Oh, my gosh.
Hi.
Laura's veil.
She left it in the plane.
Oh, I'll make sure she gets it.
That's very sweet of you.
I'm a very sweet guy.
Well, if you're such a sweet guy,
maybe you want to cheer up a friend.
You?
No. [CHUCKLES]
Um, Ruby.
She feels down about Isla, and,
I think a dinner with
friends would help.
A friend dinner, for Ruby?
Yeah, just friends hanging out.
You, me, Ruby, and Segundo.
- I like to hang out with friends.
- Great.
I'll see you tomorrow at 7:00.
I'll bring the wine.
Bye.
♪
And here we are.
Okay, you'll find some clothes inside
just in case you feel
like changing, okay?
All right, you just let me know
if you need anything else.
Right.
Oh, and, um,
I'm going through
some heartbreak of my own.
Nothing like what you're going through,
but, uh,
I'm a sympathetic ear if you need one.
- I'll be fine.
- I know you will be.
- Uh, Ruby?
- Yes?
What happens now?
Oh, well, now, your fantasy begins.

You want to check my heartbeat?
Wait wait, what?
Did my boobs finally come in?
Oh, and they're nice!
Oh, and look at you, Laura.
You are so beautiful.
We are totally hot.
[LAUGHS]
So what should we do first?
Maybe go to the mall?
I don't think that there's a mall here.
Okay, well, do you want
to tell me what's wrong?
If I'm here, it means you need me.
Well
I'm supposed to be on my honeymoon.
My fiancé left me at the altar.
Oh, no, that's bad.
It's not good.
Well, everything's going to be okay,
because everything's
great when we're together.
[LAUGHS]
You know what?
You're right.
Oh, no!
Wait, where's your necklace?
My BFF necklace?

Um, Backstreet Boys were amazing.
Ooh, yeah.

That's where I spilled the red nail
polish,

- Okay, seriously,
why are all of these things
from my old room here?
Don't know, don't care.
Come on, let's go down by the pool

Wait, that's Brad?

I guess.

We're legal.
- Alcohol?
- Mm-hmm.
Any particular kind?
Uh, one of the clear ones?
Vodka.
You got it, all right.
You know what?
I've been thinking,
and I realize that Brad is a loser.
- You think?
- Yes!
He had the chance
to marry you and he didn't?
Loser.
Well, look at all
of your amazing qualities
You're beautiful.
I'm pretty.
And you're super smart.
I'm smart, I'm not, like, super smart.
And you read tons.
Oh, and you're really good
at making collages.
I do make amazing collages.
You're funny, you're loyal,
and you smell good.
Ooh, you know what didn't smell good?
Brad's feet every night
when he gets into bed.
Wait, you sleep together?
Oh, we do a lot of things together.

Uh did.
Well, tell me something else
that's awful about Brad the loser.
Oh, he hates salads.
And he'll spend all day
watching sports,

Oh, and he never listens
to his voicemail.
- Loser.
- Such a loser.

Okay, you got it.
What are the scissors for?
You'll see.
Uh, what are you doing?
This.
And this!
Okay, I like it, but why?
It's a constant reminder
of Brad the loser!
What kind of monster doesn't
show up for his own wedding?

Oh, I would love to come.

This belonged

It was part of her wedding dress, and,
he wanted it to be
the something blue that
was part of mine, and,
I shredded it.
Well, he shredded your heart,
and that's worse.
No!
No, no, no don't cry
over Brad the loser!

He's not a loser.
I mean, he's actually really wonderful.
Well, I doubt it.
No, it's true.
He is sweet and funny,
and he let me name our dog Hermione.
He makes me chicken soup when I'm sick,
and not from the can.
From scratch.
And he calls me when he's
coming home late from work.
And he makes me laugh harder
than anyone ever.
Well, what about me?
You're amazing, Peaches.
But you're not real.

Just so you know, sweetheart,
I have updated everyone
who wasn't there.
So, you don't have to call anyone.
Thanks, Mom, that's so amazing
- that you handled that for me.
- The Costelinas,
were especially upset.
Cousin Lily was sobbing.
Aunt Frida too.
I mean, the whole process
really took a lot out of me.
I'm sorry.
- Thank you for for helping.
- Mm-hmm.
Your mother lives for drama.
An email would have been fine.
She wanted to make those calls.
You are a Neanderthal.
Dealing with those vendors,
now, that was the real crisis.
I took care of everything, sweetie.
Well, thank you.
It's not that hard to write a check.
Speaking of which, I want you,
to write down every hurtful
thing Brad's done to you.
- I'm sorry, what?
- Big thing, small things.
I already wrote down
the whole no-show thing.
Doesn't have to be this second,
but it really should
be within the next 48 hours.
I've got a lawyer on retainer.
You want to sue her fiancé?
Dad, that's really not necessary.
Arthur, our daughter is in pain.
You stop thinking about money.
You cannot put a dollar figure
on emotional trauma.
Well, I remember yours
having a pretty specific one.
Oh, hey, has anybody
tried this frittata?
You are asking her
to further humiliate herself
so you can feel like a big shot.
I think it's asparagus,
maybe some spring vegetables.
I'm trying to protect her.
[LAUGHS] Oh, now you want
to protect her?
What's that supposed to mean?
How about the time
you took her to Hawaii, hmm?
And that other woman was there?
Laura was totally blindsided.
That other woman has been
my wife for almost 20 years,
Melanie, you know her name.
Uh, excuse me, I'll be right back.
Okay.
How is it protecting a girl
when all they do is learn
that women can always be
traded in for a younger model?
Stephanie is four years
younger than you, Melanie.
You called my parents?
What were you thinking?
I'm sorry. I'm so, so sorry.
Please don't be mad at me.
You were just really, really
sad, and I was freaking out,
and I didn't know what else to do.
But I told you what they were like.
I mean, they're pretty much
the entire reason you exist.
But I was just thinking
maybe you were exaggerating.
You know, we were kids.
And sometimes kids are dramatic.
But now I see that they're
really, really bad.
Yeah, which is why
I didn't want them to find me.
Because now everything
is about their feelings,
and I haven't even taken
the time to deal with mine.
I know, I'm sorry, my bad.
But, I mean, now that they're here,
maybe, I don't know,
you can talk to them.
I was talking to them
until I started getting
pelted with raspberries.
No, they were talking at you.
So I was thinking maybe
you could tell them
about how you feel about them.
- Oh, no no way. Hard pass.
- No, come on.
No, you know, no, you know what?
I will deal with my parents.
You just go away.
I don't need to take advice
from somebody
who still fantasizes about
kissing Justin Timberlake.
Wha like you don't!

Um
What did you mean last night,
when you said that you're
supposed to stay away from me?
It's complicated, Ruby.
Hold on
Did someone tell you
to stay away from me?

I don't want to lie to you.
Then don't.
It was Roarke.
Roarke told me to stay away.
But she doesn't even know you.
I mean, you don't know her.
Actually, we go way back.
This doesn't make any sense.
Roarke cares about me,
she wants me to be happy.
There's a lot about
Elena Roarke you don't know.
There's a lot about you
that I don't know.

to stay away from me?
Okay, Ruby
No, you're supposed to be my friend.
I am your friend.
- That's why I did it.
- Well,
I'm supposed to be
living my authentic truth.
I mean, that's what you said.
- And you are.
- What if Isla is my truth?
But she's not.
You don't get to decide that, Elena.
Listen to me
There are things that you don't

- Like what?
The fact that she's a mermaid?
I know.
Yes es una sirenita!
And she may not lure your ship
into the rocks like in legends,
but she's dangerous nonetheless, Ruby.
Well, not to me!
You and I, were called
to this island because
we have a purpose.
Oh, stop!
You walk around here
in your white suits
and your cryptic words of wisdom.
But you're a liar!
I'm trying to protect you.
She's in your head.
You don't know what
you're talking about.
You know that song you keep hearing?
She put it there.
Ruby, come on, you're smart.
You can't trust her.

True storytelling event?
Did invite me to her pool party
I'm the only girl in our class
who's not going.
I just want to hide in my room forever,
but Mom met Stephanie today,
and now she's a mess.
No.
I had to do something
to make her feel better.
Oh, my God, my diary!
That's why Stacey didn't invite me.
And guess what Dad gave me?
Another Beanie Baby.
I haven't collected
Beanie Babies in forever.
He doesn't even know who I am.
He just thinks I am
whoever he wants me to be.
I'm so sick of being adoring
and grateful
and always making him feel
better for walking out on us.
And now I'm stuck with another
pair of those stupid big eyes
just staring at me.
Stop.
Two days later,
Mom wants me to give all
my stupid Beanie Babies away,
but it's only because she hates them
and she doesn't like looking at them.
But what if dad asked me
where they are?
I just want to run away.
I could sell T-shirts
for Justin Timberlake.
That girl who's selling them
when Mom took me to the concert
wasn't that much older than me.
I wonder if she gets
to hang out with him.
Oh, my God, I have to meet him.
We'll be so happy together.
We'll never fight.
We'll be such good parents.
We'll listen to our kids.
We'll care about their feelings
more than ours,
like parents are supposed to.

Hey.
Hey.

- Sure.
It was the song.
What was the song?
Why Brad didn't show up to our wedding.
Our first dance was gonna be
"Give Me Love" by Ed Sheeran.
I don't know who that is.
Imagine an emo Justin Timberlake.
Got it.
But when we were all getting ready,
my mom overheard my dad's wife cooing
about how that song
was special to them too.
So, my mom got really upset,
and I said that
we could do a different song.
No biggie.
Are you serious?
I texted Brad to let him know
because he was the one
dealing with the DJ.
I didn't even think about it.
I figured that, it was just a song.
Next thing I know,
he's texting me that he can't marry me.
You put your parents first,
on your own fudging wedding day?
All of my life, I have
tried not to upset them,
to make them happy, so that
they wouldn't leave me.
Like they left each other.
Yeah, ever since their divorce,
I have put them first, their needs.
I have ruined so many things
Vacations, possible job opportunities,
- my apartment.
- What? Your apartment?
I let my dad's wife decorate it
It's like a weird
"Game of Thrones" thing.
- I don't know what that is.
- Okay, imagine
"Melrose Place" with dragons
and, like, a million characters.
- Got it.
- Yeah.
Brad told me
He told me so many times I needed
to create boundaries with them,
but, I brushed it off.
I told him he didn't get it.
Brad was right.
If I ever want to have my own life,
and I want to share it
with somebody that I love,
I need to learn to create
boundaries with my parents.
What if I can't?
Hey, you were the only girl
in the sixth grade
who knew all the words to Salt-N-Pepa's
"None of Your Business"
without messing up.

Elena, you never told me why.
And I didn't put it together
until just now,
but at some point, something happened,

space to get to know Helene.

out of the equation.

complicated than that.

overlooking the ocean.
But, you wanted St. Peters,
and a designer dress.
- Right, Mom?

Yeah.
And once that was decided, well,
Dad just had just had to outdo you,
and booked a
Tavern on the Freaking Green.
And, I caved.

I make excuses and compromises,
all to please you.

[SENTIMENTAL MUSIC]
You're worse,
both of you.
And it cost me the love of my life.
Look, I love you both,
but I cannot be responsible
for your happiness anymore.
I've been selfish.
I'm so sorry.
But, I just want you
to be happy, really.

Brad, I want to apologize
To you, and to Laura.
Yes, she's fine.

More than fine.
She's amazing.

she has idiots for parents.
She's informed us,

our terrible behavior
has interfered with your happiness.
That's going to change.
Thank you.
