Okay. One, two, three.
[grunting]
That was a tie if I've ever seen one.
Not that I can see that far.
-I really shouldn't be driving. -[chuckles]
Good job.
How 'bout that? My former crush, Max,
and my boyfriend, Oscar, getting along like gangbusters.
Hey. Want to try my homemade salsa?
You just poured it out of a jar.
Hey. Want to try my home-poured salsa?
[chuckling]
Mm. Speaking of salsa,
do you want to go salsa dancing with me sometime?
Um, yes!
And be warned...
[chuckles]: I am a great salsa dancer!
At sleepaway camp, I had to choose
between salsa and archery, and I chose salsa,
'cause Hunger Games hadn't come out yet
and we didn't know how cool archery could be.
Well, I am excited to go dancing with you.
I used to go with my ex-girlfriend all the time.
We had a lot of fun.
I hope that's not weird, to bring up my ex.
No! Of course not.
Everybody has a past.
I ain't scared of no ghost. [chuckles]
What do you mean, "ghost"? She's not dead.
No, she's not. I have no idea why I said that.
Oh, Katharine.
You found a real winner with this Oscar.
KAT: He and I are gonna go salsa dancing.
Do you remember when I did salsa at sleepaway camp?
Polka.
No, it was salsa.
It was polka.
I remember the recital.
I had to buy you lederhosen.
Oh.
That's right.
They chafed. [hisses]

Hey.
I'm about to do a thing
where I keep bugging you until I get what I want.
So it's just a normal day then?
I got a Groupon for a beginner salsa class,
and I didn't realize I have to bring my own partner.
I thought "BYOP" meant "bring your own paella."
Couple things. Uh, that's something you should be doing
with your boyfriend, and...
No, it's just the one thing.
Well, I can't ask Oscar.
I'm trying to get good at it before I go dancing with him.
You can't ask the person you're trying to impress
to help you impress them.
Max, please?
You'll be fine. You're a good dancer.
Yeah, but I've never done salsa.
And he used to do it with his ex-girlfriend,
so, in my mind, it's like she's challenged me to a dance battle,
which I cannot lose.
I'm really sorry, Kat, but I'm already a good salsa dancer.
So taking a beginner class sounds muyboring.
Wait, you salsa?
Mm-hmm. I picked it up when I was living in Barcelona.
Brigitte and I would hit the salsa clubs all the time.
We were known as les meilleurs à la salsa.
Wh-What does that mean?
It means our chemistry electrified the dance floor
and people would stare,
wishing they were us.
That little phrase means all that?
Well, if you're so advanced, why don't you teach me then?
You've been saying you want to do more tutoring.
Tutor away!
Show me all your salsa moves--
mild, medium and extra spicy.
Come on, Max.
Just, like, two lessons.
Uh, I don't think so.
Oh, I get it.
Get what?
You don't know how to salsa.
-[scoffs] -You lied about it to get out
of going to the class and now you're just doubling down.
I know how to salsa.
Yeah, I-I don't think you do.
I mean, I've watched a lot of videos,
and you can just tell when someone has that salsa de fuego.
Oh, I have the salsa de fuego,
and it is muy caliente.
Tonight.
At 8:00.
Okay then.
Tonight at 8:00.
I'll believe it when I see it.

Randi, honey, I'd be careful drinking that much caffeine.
That's how we induce labor if a sow's past her due date.
I didn't sleep at all last night.
I tried counting sheep,
but then they all had Daniel's face,
and I got so mad.
You want one of my mama's sleeping pills?
She left some at my house.
I always wait till she's zonked-out on one
before I cut her toenails or she might kick me.
See this tooth?
Fake.
I'm willing to try anything at this point.
Okay, I'll bring some tomorrow.
But you be careful.
I took one on a flight to Lubbock.
I thought I went to the bathroom.
I actually peed in the middle of the aisle.
Had to spend the rest of the flight zip-tied
to my tray table.
Hey, Randi. Check it out.
I just got the cutest dress to go dancing with Oscar.
Ooh, that's hot.
But you know that thing's not gonna make you dance any better.
It's not like the suit from Iron Man.
Yes, I've got that covered.
Max is gonna teach me.
Uh, do you really think that's a good idea,
considering that you've had a crush on Max
-for the past two decades? -[sighs]
I've given it a lot of thought, and here's why it's fine.
I'm completely falling for Oscar.
So, right now, every other man in the world
is just a sexless "blech" in a baseball cap.
Oh, uh, not you.
Not him.
He's not a sexless "blech."

Oh, my Lord, child, it's a miracle.
-What, Phil? -What's a miracle?
This bun looks exactly like the Holy Mother herself.
Looks like Dolly Parton.
Exactly!
That's what I said.
Did you bake it like that on purpose?
No! She just magically appeared.

Now,
I want you to imagine a string coming out

Ooh, I like marionettes.
I still have my favorite, Lady Juniper, upstairs.
-Kat, I don't care. -Okay.
Now...
[inhales] think about the string
and look at me.
[laughs]
-What? -I'm sorry.
I'm just having a laugh.
'Cause, like, I'm looking at you but, like, we're staring...
Kat, be serious.
With salsa, eye contact is the way
-to connect with your partner. -Okay.

Randi, it's 1:00 in the morning. What are you doing out here?
[chuckles] I couldn't sleep, so I figured I'd go for a run.
Sounds like you got ex-somnia.
Don't you mean "insomnia"?
If you're thinking about your ex, it's ex-somnia.
Yeah, well, then that's what I got.
You know, I've been trying online blackjack
for my ex-somnia.
Getting my drink on helps a little bit, too.
Yeah.
You might be right.
I think I'm gonna go check out this cute little bar
that's still open down the street.
-Jog your ass in here. -[chuckles]
Mother, did you get my message about Phil's Dolly bun?
Why do you think I'm here?
Oh, Phil, my pageant friend Jeannie
is Dolly's new publicist,
so I shared the picture with her on Insta,
and she showed it to Dolly.
Oh, Sheila.
If you are pulling my leg,
I'll cut yours off and slap you across the face with it.
I am not kidding!
And she said Dolly's performing tonight at the Opry
and if we can get down to Nashville,
she'll take a picture with us and the bun
after the show.
Meeting Dolly's on my whistle list.
I worship the ground she walks on.
[squealing]
Oh, Kat! Please, can I leave?
Of course. You can't pass up an opportunity like that.
And don't forget to tell Dolly Parton about Dolly Purr-ton.
PHIL: Oh, thank you!
Thank you, thank you!
-Hey. -Hey.
I'm, uh, literally sore.
Like I worked out last night.
-Like I did leg day. -[chuckles]
Can you stop smiling at me like that?
You're making me feel exposed.
I'll try.
-Nope, not possible. -[laughs]
Uh, and I have class tonight, so I won't see you.
But I will be thinking of you
and thinking of last night.
Well, I can't stop you from thinking,
so think away.
[chuckles]
Randi. Randi.
Can I run a moral quandary by you?
You know how I had that salsa lesson with Max last night?
-Uh-huh. -Well, afterward,
I had a particularly sensual, consensual evening with Oscar.
Kat, we're roomies. I heard everything.
It sounded like y'all was installing hardwood floors
in there.
Okay.
Not embarrassed by that at all.
Well, I-I'm feeling a little guilty
because I think I may have transferred some
of the spiciness of salsa with Max to Oscar.
It was just really...
Wh-What was that for?
I told you you were playing with fire.
I had to put you out.
Okay, but I-I don't want to be with Max.
I want to be with Oscar.
The problem is you didn't tell Oscar
that you were dancing with Max.
-[sighs] -Or getting heated up by Max.
And unless you're planning a surprise party,
you should hide nothing from your partner.
Okay, but what...
Nothing.
Hey, teach.
Great dance lesson last night.
Thank you, thank you. Great learning last night.
[chuckles]
-I actually have to cancel... -I have to cancel tonight.
-Why can't you make... [laughs] -Why can't you make... [laughs]
You go first.
Well, honestly...
it felt a little bit like I was cheating on Oscar.
Like, 'cause I was dancing
with another guy. Even though it's you.
Yeah, no, that makes sense. I felt a little weird, too.
-Especially 'cause it's salsa. -[exhales]
Exactly. Like, if it were polka,
we wouldn't even be having this conversation, you know?
Polka's a lot more oom-pah-pah, a lot less "ooh, papi."
[chuckles]
You know what would be great?
-Hmm? -Is if you had a girlfriend
and the four of us could all go dancing together.
You know? Get on that.
Get yourself a girlfriend.
Well, I'm working on it.
-Oh, really? With who? -With Brigitte.
I'm actually making a little progress on that front.
Oh. That's great.
Yeah, in fact, I'm thinking about surprising her
in Paris this summer.
Like... [inhales]
Like, a big, grand gesture.
Probably something on the Eiffel Tower.
Wow, that sounds so romantic.
That way, if she rejects me, you know, I can just...
boop.
You're gonna push her off?
I'm just saying, it gets windy up there.
[laughs]
Your friend says that when we get to the Opry,
we give the password to the security guard.
"Hard Candy Christmas."
Then we can pull
right up to her tour bus! [chuckles]
[both squeal]
-[chuckles] -You know, I never told
Katharine, but...
I had a bit of the baby blues after I had her.
So I would play Dolly's
"I Will Always Love You" on a loop
to remind me how I was supposed to feel about my baby.
And eventually, I did.
The song that got to me was "Coat of Many Colors."
If I ever opened a bakery,
I was gonna call it Coat of Many Crullers.
Guess what our hours were gonna be.
9:00 to 5:00?
Bingo. [laughing]

Oh, oh. Uh-oh.
Looks like we're hitting a bit of traffic.
Oh, it's probably just a bend in the road.
Nothing to worry about.
[siren wailing]
Nope.
Still not gonna worry.
[sighs] I have been watching salsa videos
for the past three hours.
It started with instructional videos,
but then it turned into salsa fails.
I watched a guy try and salsa with a kangaroo.
The kangaroo was not having it.
Grabbed that guy by the collar, kicked him right in the nuts.
Ooh, that sounds horrible.
Can you send me that video?
Yeah, no problem.
Every time I close my eyes, I see salsa fails.
I don't know how I'm gonna get to sleep.
Oscar's working.
I don't know why I'm looking in the fridge.
Hey, do you want to watch
a movie with the sound off
and make the people say whatever we want?
Uh, no, I'm okay. I'm gonna go for a run.
They've been helping me relax.
Hmm. I don't like you running at night.
You know, I have a holiday sweater
that has real lights on it that you could wear.
Oh, but then you'd be running in an itchy sweater.
Never mind. Have fun.
[chuckles]: Don't worry, I'm not going that far.
And if you're having problems getting to sleep,
why don't you take one of Phil's mama's sleeping pills.

Oh!
I even told him that I wished that you were here
so we could all hang out together.
That is very generous.
I like you on sleeping pills. [chuckles]
I don't think they're working. I'm not even tired.
Mm.
You know, I found your therapy website.
I see your name. I see your e-mail address.
But I don't see any pictures of you

Yes. I even tried to post a weird one of me mid-sneeze.
-But no. The stalking continued. -Mm.

that Dolly is halfway through her set.
If things pick up, we could still make it.
-I'm starving, Phil. -Me, too.

But I will split it with you.
