- Hey, Maggie.
- I will just take a single jumbo king cone.
- Uh, I'll take two ice cream sandwiches.
I found if you put one in the other, it still only counts as one.
- I know I liked you. - So here's the thing.
A couple weeks ago, I made a reservation
at this place that's really hard to get a table at
in the hopes
that you wouldn't be sick of me yet.
- Oh, well, I guess I'll have to hold off on getting sick of you
until after this fancy reservation you speak of.
- Now, I know we usually like to eat on the street.
But what if we went to a place
with actual doors and floorboards?
- Ooh, you're taking me to Home Depot?
- Mm-hmm.
- I'm not mad at that. They have chips by the registers.
- [Daniel chuckles] Well, you'll like this place too.
So what do you say?
You, me, Thursday night? A real date?
- If she says no, I'll say yes.
- I was going to say yes.

- Oh, it's baby Eunice's first birthday on Sunday.
All my family in Melbourne will be there.
- Aww. - Yeah.
Hey, it's a big Korean tradition.
So you put items down on a blanket
and whatever the baby picks up, that's what she's going to be.
So if she picks up money, she's going to be wealthy.
If she picks up a stethoscope, she's going to be a doctor.
I'm betting pencil,
because I really see her as an office manager
in a mid-sized startup.
- And what did Baby Dave pick?
- Well, I kind of grabbed money and I kind of grabbed nothing,
and then I got rich on crypto,
so I guess the tradition checks out.
Oh, I really wish I could be there for Eunice, though.
- Aww.
Sorry, honey. I wish you had more of a community here.
- I have you.

I don't know what a bogan is.

Huh?
I thought it was a cool idea.

Okay? Enjoy it. And be sure and text me when you kiss in make-up.

It's your anniversary.
How many years are you celebrating?

- Well, that's not true.
We get to decide what a real anniversary is.
- So maybe we should decide and not just you.

- Folks, uh, these items that we're eating,
they are really terrific.
What's the sauce?
- Uh, chipotle.
- Right. Family secret. I, I get it.
- Maybe we should get out the emotional toolbox
and look under the hood of these multiple break-ups
and find out what that's about, huh?
- Mm.
- Hi.
Hi. Um, I was in earlier tonight.
I was the one with the pretty nails
and the gorgeous hair and the whole outfit.
Oh. Well, I guess you weren't working yet or you would remember.
Um, I'm calling to see if my husband and friend are getting along.
You know what? Maybe you could just, like, scooch by their table
and take a little secret video and then text it to me
so I know they're doing okay.
How is that an unusual request?
Isn't that literally your job?
Wait, wait, wait. What?
The restaurant made you work on your birthday.
Ugh. Hosting sounds really hard.
Now it's just a vibe I'm getting,
but are you an Aquarius?
Pisces. Of course. Of course, you're Pisces.
All the most important people in my life are Pisces.
You're just like my dentist.
Mm. Wait, you know what?
You would get along so great with my dentist.
Here, give me your number.

- Knock, knock.
- Saying "knock, knock" while entering doesn't count, Dad.

Listen, honey, do you mind if I hang out in here for a little bit?

- Your mom got us stuck for dinner with Ben and Jessie.
I don't know why she does that. She knows how much I hate people.
- Ooh, how did you get away?
- Well, you know what I did?
I just stood up and I excused myself,
and I walked up the stairs. - Huh.
- Pretty slick, huh?
- Oh, I guess avoiding people runs in the family.
- Okay. I may not have heard what you said,
but I can sense the subtle shifts in a woman's tone.
What's going on, honey?
- Hmm. Well, I had a vision
that I got in a fight tonight with the guy that I like,
and I was afraid that he would break things off.
So I canceled on him.
- Uh-huh. - Hmm.
- So you don't have a destiny with your date?
- Good one, Dad.
- Well, what about tomorrow night?
- What do you mean?
- Well, I mean, you can't stay in here forever.
And are you going to avoid this guy tomorrow night, too?
And the night after that. And the night after that.
Life is... endless.
- Dad? - Yes.
I'm here.
Honey, look,
conflict can actually sometimes make a relationship stronger.
So I think what you need to do is just jump in
and try this, see what happens.
- I don't know how to do that.
- Okay, this is the oldest Dad advice in the world,
but practice makes perfect.
- Thanks, Dad.
- Well, you're welcome.
So, where are you going?
- I think I have a fight to catch.
- Oh, good one.
- Oh, good, Jack. Get over here.
Let me fill you in on what you missed.
These two were high school sweethearts.
Cheerleader and mascot. Not who you think.
Three break-ups.
First time living together. No active cavities between them.
- I don't think it's that ridiculous
that I was the cheerleader.
- Uh, okay, well, you know what?
It sounds like you guys covered everything,
so, um, honey, maybe we should get going.
You know, that milkshake place I love is still open, so let's--
- Honey, sit down.
Ben and Jessie were just getting back
to why they would celebrate a breakup.
- Oh no.
You see, that's the thing. We're celebrating getting back together.
Isn't that a nice thing to do?
- I know that's where you come from, Ben,
but I come from a place where anything remotely negative
was swept under the rug.
You see it as celebrating a bunch of anniversaries,
but I see it as shining a light on all of our break-ups,
and I don't want to remember that.
- Why not?
- What do you mean, why not?
- Why not? It's our history.
- Because she probably doesn't want it to happen again.
Maybe. I'm just guessing.
- Is that true?
Jessie.
I really don't care about the date.
Honestly.
The reason my family celebrated anything
was because it was an excuse to be together.
If you want to celebrate that it's Thursday,
let's celebrate that, as long as it's you and me.
That's the part I really care about.
Happy Thursday.
[both laugh]
- Happier now. - Yeah?
- Alright, Jack.
[car horn honking]
- Oh, I hope I'm not crossing a line.
Amy and I love to share.
- Dave, I think it'd be weird if we slept together.
- I think it'd be weird too. Why are we doing that?
- Because Amy wants to.
You guys love to share.
Wait. Did you sleep with your cousin?
- No. No!
No.
Sorry.
I thought you got what was going on here.
- What's going on? - Amy wants us to get together
because she wants me to have more Asian friends.
- I can't tell if that's better or worse.
- Well, for sure problematic.
But it's coming from a genuine place of love.
- Hmm. - She just wants me to feel at home here.
You know?
Have mates with the same cultural touchstones as I do.
- Sorry, what's a cultural touchstone?
- What is a cultural touchstone? I don't know.
- Well, Dave, I'm from Reseda,
so I'm not sure I can relate to the experiences
of a Korean-Australian-American.
[sighs]
- Well, here's something we can both relate to.
This place sucks.
[both laugh]
- Yeah.
- Ugh. - Let's get out of here.
I know this great dumpling spot on York. It's always got a line.
- Cash only? - Oh hell, yeah.
- Hell to the yeah. I'll text Amy. - Let's go.
[knock on door]
- Maggie? - Hi.
- I thought you were sick.
Wow. You look sick.
- I had a vision of us getting into a fight,
and I wanted to avoid it, so I lied.
And I feel really, really bad about it.
Okay, now you yell at me.
- Uh, okay.
Th-that's a lot of information.
- Oh yeah. Take a minute. We can fight when you're ready.
- Why don't you come inside?
- Okay.
- You can't just come over here and say you want to fight.
- No, I don't want to fight. That's why I canceled on you.
I'm saying we're going to fight.
- Okay.
You know, women have canceled on me a lot, but this,
this is new.
- Yeah, I would definitely be super annoyed if I were you.
Especially if I had a whole outfit.
- Yeah, I also had a whole plan.
The reservation was for this cool pan-Asian place
with no menus that we probably wouldn't like.
But I thought it'd be kind of funny, something that we could bond over.
But then I got your voicemail, and I thought,
you know, I feel really bad that she's sick.
I'm going to send her some soup.
And now I just feel really stupid for caring.
- Well, the only reason I didn't want to see you
is because I care, too.
- You know that doesn't make any sense, right?
- Can you just fight with me, please, Daniel?
Wait.
This is wrong. Were we outside?
- Sorry. Wait, wha-what's outside?
- Th-- Our fight. In, in my vision.
I saw us outside. Should we go outside?
- No!
I mean, this is-- Maybe we fight more than once.
- If we're going to do that, we should just end this right now.
- What is happening?
Maggie, people in relationships fight all the time,
and they don't break up.
It's called having a conflict.
And truthfully, I think it's kind of healthy.
- Wait. Back up a minute.
Are you... are you saying
we're in a relationship?
- I mean...
I wouldn't be mad at that.
You?
- I wouldn't be mad at that either.
