Tell me the truth.
Do you really have to do this?
I want to hear you say it.
You already know what I'm going to say.
So say it.
Say it, now!
Okay. [clears throat]
In addition to the laws of Dramaworld, there are also some rules to facilitation.
Rule number one.
"Know your character."
-You want it? -Hm. Gimme, gimme, gimme!
-You sure? -Please!
Take this. Yeah, that's yours.
This is Seo-yeon.
I love her.
Hi, I'm Claire. I'm Seth's little sister.
It's... it's really nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you, too.
Rule number two.
[Seth] "Do not affect events directly."
[squelch] Oh, my!
[Seth] Set objects in motion and then just stand back.
[tingling sound]
[Seth] Rule number three.
"Do not watch the drama." [chortles]
Do not watch the drama.
[Seth] Uh, in other words, this is not, this is not a TV show for them.
How would you like it if some creeper started staring at your intimate moments?
It's, Yeah.
Rule number four.
And this is the most important of them all.
These characters cannot know they're in a drama.
If there are any secrets that you know that they don't, you cannot tell them.
These are the four basic rules to facilitation.
"In the event of a rule broken by force majeure, see Appendix 2."
No, but you won't need to see Appendix 2, will you, Claire?
No, no.
Uh, but... just in case?
No matter what, you do not want to become a part of the storyline.
-Trust me. -Okay, okay!
So say it. Say it, now!
[Claire] Let me just top you guys.
Oh, my god, it's you.
And... you!
Oh, my god, I love you guys!
I'm very sorry.
[Claire] What? [shrieks]
[Seth] Thank god. [breathes heavily]
Of course he doesn't love her! He loves her sister!
You just broke every single rule in less than 10 seconds!
Sorry, I mean I was just a little star-struck. I mean, wasn't that--
Yes, that, that was. [sighs heavily]
Which is not a good sign.
This isn't their drama, they shouldn't be here!
Crossovers are a sign that things are not going well in Dramaworld,
which is why you're here.
To help set things straight.
Right.
-So... -Right.
[shuffling]
What are you looking for?
Um, salt?
That's in dry storage.
Thanks. Um, I mean...
I'm new, so I'm just trying to learn the ropes.
Let me know if you need help. I'll catch you up on everything.
Hang on a sec.
There you go.
I know how it feels to be the new girl.
I can see why he likes you so much.
Who does?
Chef.
[Seo-yeon] He's not interested in me. He has his eyes on her.
She's sexy and attractive.
And they've known each other forever.
Whereas I'm just...
I know this moment!
What?
Uh, nothing, nothing. Just...
Like...
[tranquil music]
You're really beautiful.
Let him see that.
One moment, please.
-Mrs. Park, what a nice surprise! -Hello, dear.
-Right this way. -All right.
Serving!
[Claire] Yes, Chef!
-Do you know where table ten is? -Yes, Chef.
Good. Position one, position two.
[clears throat]
[twinkling sound]
You look different.
I let my hair down.
Well, put it back up. This is a kitchen.
Sorry, Chef.
-Got those mushrooms? -I'm sorry, I forgot.
-Grab some caviar while you're at it. -Yes, Chef.
I always set this table aside for you.
[Mrs. Park] Do you?
[pots clanking]
Chef, your mother just arrived.
[sighs]
No warning as usual!
Start her off with a salad and the pork belly.
Yes, Chef.
Can you keep her company for me?
Table eight, Chef.
[Claire] Hey! [stunned sigh]
[thuds] [Seo-yeon] Oh, no.
So? Did he notice the new you?
I got an earful for being unprofessional.
You should...
What if you introduced yourself to his mother, right?
Like, what if you took her the food yourself
and were like, "Hi, Mrs. Park, nice to meet you."
Impress her.
-I couldn't. -Uh-uh.
You can.
Mrs. Park, I actually had a few ideas for Park Frozen Gourmet...
[Ga-in] As you know, one-person households are on the rise and...
[Ga-in sighs]
I'm sorry, Mrs. Park.
Our sous-chef is still learning the ropes.
Serving!
[male #1] Yes, Chef!
What do you think you're doing?
You told me to keep your mother company so--
I wasn't asking you.
You're the sous-chef. Stay in your damn station!
And fire me another pork belly and veal for her entrée.
Yes, Chef.
-Uh... -What?
Claire, you're pushing too hard.
You have to be subtle, invisible.
You don't wanna risk getting your own storyline.
I'm trying.
Nice of you to show your face!
I came by to see how your little restaurant is doing.
Hello to you, too.
I guess you're not happy to see me.
[sighs heavily]
Don't you think Joon looks much better in a suit?
This chef's uniform sucks the life out of you!
Joon always looks good no matter what he's wearing.
But you do have a point.
A nice suit and tie would look even more dashing.
[resonance]
What's happening?
Flashback.
Oh no, he's so troubled!
I bet it's about his dad's murder.
No, suicide.
[resonance]
I have to get back.
Uh...
I know it isn't explicitly stated in the rules, but...
you can't fall in love with the lead, you know that, right?
What?
- Let's fire tables four and seven! - Yes, Chef!
Seo-yeon, how's the entrée for my mother?
Sorry, Chef, but there's no ticket.
[sighs] I verbalized it!
Fire it now!
Do you have anything else I can serve her?
Oh, um,
I have three portions of rotelle that I can make into four.
[shrieks] [plate shatters]
That's enough. I got this. Just clean that up.
[sad music]
Seth, they've never had an off night like this before.
What do I do?
I don't know. But...
But whatever you're doing right now is not helping.
[metal clanks]
[broken plate clatters]
[wiggling door handle]
Huh? Oh?
[pans clanking]
Chef!
Serving!
Sous-chef!
Manager.
Manager!
Would you please find my sous-chef?
[sighs exhausted]
-What are you doing? -Door!
Who said you could take a break?
No, I was locked out.
Locked out?
Huh? [wiggling door handle]
Serving! Tables two, six and seven!
-Chef, fire! -What table?
-Fire! -Every table's been fired!
No, no, no! Fire! Fire!
-No, no, no, no, no! Fire! Fire! -Claire, no!
Oh, gosh.
Your father would have been happy to see this.
Mom--
I want you to seriously think about the life you've chosen for yourself here.
Because it just seems like a waste of time and money!
[sighs heavily]
[thuds]
[mellow music]
[Seo-yeon] Sorry, the door locked behind me...
[Claire] Oh, boy.
Close the restaurant.
I'm sorry, I just... I saw the fire and I wanted to help...
If the pan's on fire, just cover it. That's all you need to do.
I'm so sorry. I got scared and--
It's my fault, Chef.
I shouldn't have left the burner on. You can take it out of my pay.
It's not about the money.
[footsteps]
It's about the lack of professionalism.
How can I run a restaurant when I can't trust my own sous-chef?
-I'm sorry? -[Joon] I can't let this stand.
Whatever it is...
I can't have it in my kitchen.
I'm trying to run a business here.
Are you...
Are you firing me?
Yes.
I think that's for the best.
