So, are we ever gonna talk about

what happened at graduation?

Graham, I didn't know

what to say.

I told you, "I love you."

You could have said it back.

Yeah, I just...

Of course I loved you. But...

You didn't think I was

good enough for you?

We were friends.

And... that meant so much to me.

Sweet.

So, that's Graham, right?

What's Graham's story?

Yeah, he's my boyfriend.

He and Clarissa were totally

in love back in school.

He was chubby back then.

Looks like he got it

sorted out now.

Is there a gym around here?

I wanna...

Do you remember...

freshman year,

when I told my mom that I was staying

at Kelly's parents' beach house?

And I told my mom that

I had to go to Charleston

to compete with the debate team,

just so we can go camping.

We heard that sound and you thought

it was a bear and you freaked out.

I did not!

You got freaked out. You could

barely roast your marshmallow.

Well, if truth be told...

I wasn't scared. I just...

wanted to get closer to you.

I don't... think I have with

Kelly what I had with you.

Maybe you haven't tried.

Maybe you should.

Maybe.

Do you have with Chas what...

you had with me?

Or maybe better?

He's my fiance, right?

I can't believe

there's no gym here.

- Please tell me there's a good organic...

- Nope.

At least there's cake.

I'm fine.

I'm okay.

- So, you grew up here?

- Yeah.

The soon-to-be famous

Clarissa Byers,

born and raised right here

in these very halls!

Shh. You're gonna

wake up my parents.

I can never find...

[screaming]

Mom, Dad, I told you

never to do that again.

- Welcome home.

- It's our tradition.

- It's our tradition.

- How you doing? Good to see you.

She would come home late, and we'd

be hiding in the dark and go...

like that and scare her

every time.

It's a creepy tradition.

My future son-in-law.

Hello.

Welcome to our home.

Thank you for having me,

Mr. and Mrs. Byers.

No, sir. Bruce and Sandy.

- Bruce and Sandy.

- Yeah.

- Thank you.

- There you go.

Okay, let's get you settled in.

Right up here.

You know where you're going,

young lady.

And you just follow her.

And creepy fact number two,

they left my room like this.

I think this is awesome.

Every time I go home, my aunt's

turned my room into a game room

or a yoga studio, or,

as of the most recent visit,

a kennel for foster dogs.

Well, we couldn't change it.

It's not ours to change.

And they're probably always

hoping I'll move back here.

What kind of parents

would we be if we didn't?

All right.

You kids get some rest and let us

know if there's anything you need.

Thank you, Mrs...

Thank you, Sandy.

Hey, you like omelets?

Yes, sir, love 'em.

I make a mean omelet.

- Good night.

- Good night.

- Bye, Mom, bye, Dad.

- Bye.

Yeah, your parents

are pretty awesome.

And you're totally

not sleeping here.

There's a futon in the study next

door with your name all over it.

All right.

Well, let's just hope your parents don't

find me on the futon in the morning.

So cute.

Leave it.

- Adorable.

- Thank you.

[Sandy] You'll figure it out.

[all taking indistinctly]

[all screaming]

[all laughing]

Oh, my God! That's so funny.

Your guy here,

he has no idea

how to make an omelet.

I can't believe

you didn't teach him.

I taught you everything I know.

Dad, we haven't had a lot of

sleepovers that involved breakfast.

You're telling me

this isn't a work of art?

As much as I'd like to be polite

because you are a guest in our home...

no!

Well, my rule of thumb is

it's not about how it looks,

it's about how great it tastes.

So, even a messy omelet

can have potential, right?

We'll see.

Mmm!

House of honesty

says, heck yeah!

Your turn.

You're right. It's good.

Yes!

- Good job.

- All right.

[Chas] I told you I have

some culinary skills.

[Clarissa]

Yeah, you proved me wrong.

All right, so what's on our big

wedding agenda for the day?

So, we're headed to the beach. Tonight is

the bachelor and bachelorette parties.

You know, I've actually

never been to one of those.

Well, relax.

It's not like the movies.

It's gonna be probably mostly junk food,

video games and burping contests.

There's nothing you just said

that I don't like.

I can lift my own suitcase.

Can you also say thank you?

Thank you.

You're welcome.

- Thank you.

- You're welcome.

Okay, so I think the guys

are staying in condos over here.

You're in 236.

236. Where are you gonna be?

I'm in 222.

And we're actually gonna settle

in and then go to the pool

before the bachelor

and bachelorette parties.

All right.

- Cool. Okay, I'll see ya.

- Yeah.

[cell phone vibrates]

Wait. How does

she even know that?

Because I'm right here, darling.

What are you doing here?

Why does she have a ring?

You're the one who wanted us

to play this up, remember?

It was supposed to look like a fling!

Not a full-on engagement.

I got, I don't know,

carried away in the scene.

Did you?

Well, it's too late

to take it back now.

And I gave her the ring my aunt let

me borrow, what's the big deal?

I'm sorry, why are you here?

I'm your publicist. It's my job to make

sure you don't do anything stupid.

So far so good.

I didn't have anything better

to do this weekend, so...

Okay.

Fine.

I couldn't stand the thought of

you way out here alone with her.

Come on, baby, we talked about this.

You know it's...

Look, here's the plan.

If anyone asks,

I'm your publicist Suzie.

So, the truth?

I'll make sure not to jump in any

photos and blah, blah, blah.

But don't think for a second

I'm not watching you.

Eyes of a hawk. Ears of a tiger.

- Got it.

- Good.

Shall we hit the pool?

Yeah. Just give me a head start?

[Suzie sighs]

Okay, this is so exciting.

So, he proposed to you at work?

Uh...

I mean, that's what

the tabloids said.

- Well, no. It was more, like...

- And it was a whole thing.

- Yeah, and then it was...

- Totally.

Just wow.

[both] Aww.

So cute.

Wait, what?

They didn't say anything.

They don't have to say anything.

So romantic.

I don't know if that's romantic.

I'm romantic.

Very romantic.

How are you romantic?

I took you to the pier

last week, we got ice cream.

- That's romantic.

- Yeah. Veronica went with us.

Kelly, you don't even

like romance.

How would you know that?

Well, to me, and I maybe sappy,

but I think anything can be

romantic with the right person.

The activity doesn't matter as long as

you're with someone you feel romantic with.

Anything?

Yeah, anything.

I mean, even making breakfast

in the morning can be romantic.

- Can't it?

- Right.

Everyone knows that French toast

is the most romantic of toasts.

Chas makes great omelets.

You should make omelets, too.

Come on!

Guys, get my back here.

- Bros before...

- What?

What?

No, no, no. "Bros before" what?

Hey, everyone. I'd like you

to meet my publicist, Suzie.

She just coming by to make sure

everything's good, you know.

Hi, guys!

Look at you.
