They only had one request - re-shoot the love scene. Welcome to the set.

A mark!

And B mark

Action.

Boom!

- Is that clear?

- Yes.

Roll over on top of her.

Stay on her for a moment,

we'll get what we can.

Or do you want me

straddling her, sitting up?

- Just like this?

- Yeah.

Do that again,

just hand up at the top and...

Does this arm look awkward?

We're not

gonna be able to see it.

And make the decision

to take your bra off.

- Do that...

- Ha, like every time.

I know. Just bring

some action into it, ladies.

Okay.

We only see

from shoulders down.

- We don't even see that...

- Shoulders down?

- Shoulders up.

- Shoulders up.

- Yeah, that's all we see.

- Okay.

So it's all about your facial

response and reaction right now.

Okay.

A set!

Back at it!

Whenever you're ready.

Roll to the right

and bring your left leg

back over her butt crack.

- Is that it?

- Yes.

Oh. Sorry!

So I'm back up on your ass!

Yeah, and just try

to cheat this up a little bit.

Just do a little feet love.

Some foot love, babies.

Yeah!

For all those foot enthusiasts

out there.

Okay, and tell me

when you want me to finger her.

Don't worry, I will.

- You can be in charge of that.

- Alright. Finger Captain.

- We're all friends here.

- Yeah, that's good.

Let me pull

this little piece of bra up

Just there.

Just so we can see what it is.

Alright. Just make sure

you keep this hip back.

Are we set?

Set.

And... action!

Come on!

- Are you okay?

- Mm hmm.

- Yeah?

- Yeah. Actually my contacts hurt.

Try and sniff a couple of times.

- It'll drain the tear ducts.

- Thank you.

- Thank you, Alex.

- Sure.

I wanna show you,

it's really exciting

what Ben's done

with the war room.

Oh, man, I wanted to finish

before you guys got here!

- This is amazing!

- How are you?

- It's so good to see you!

- Good to see you too!

Wow, I love the fabric!

- I know, a little twinkle...

I love you so much...

- Stop it...

- I do.

Little touch of magic.

You're always good for that.

- I want you to feel comfortable...

- Anne and twinkle lights.

Ping!

Okay, well, you guys do your thing.

I'm gonna go set up the bedroom.

I'll be up to check it out

in a second.

I've been noticing this on your hand.

I've never seen this before.

- Um... it's just...

- Wait, wait, wait.

I'm feeling there's some

special energy about this.

What... no, I'm really...

What is in here?

No, Kara, honestly,

give this back!

I'm sorry, no secrets!

I'll share this with you later.

I'm gonna go check on the crew.

Okay... no, wait, wait wait!

You're not zipped.

Hold on. Come here.

I have a problem finishing.

- I'm gonna do the wide of that.

- Yeah.

Ben looks like he has

everything under control.

- Okay, but did he check the Polaroid?

- He checked the Polaroid.

'Cause if the bedside table doesn't

match, it's gonna drive me crazy.

It will match.

We're taking care of it.

- All right.

- So that looks good.

So you know what?

Can you guys handle the rest?

I really have to check on Zoe.

I'm feeling very angsty.

There are a few things

I need to go over with you.

You guys can deal

with it, right?

You guys.

Kieran, can you have

somebody move this?

Hey! There she is.

How's my girl?

Good!

Just remember

to be yourself today.

That's all

you need to worry about.

I mean, I'll tell you right now,

'cause Mal is not coming,

and I mean, she just

doesn't care about your thing,

she doesn't care about me,

she doesn't care about you,

like, she's not

gonna actually show up,

so I'm actually okay, because I

know she's not going to be here.

- She has to come.

- She didn't have to come.

- She kinda has to come.

- Okay, we'll see.

- I'll check back later, okay?

- Mm hmm.

Guys, I need her out in ten!

- Hey...

- Zoe's just a mess.

Kieran wants to know why

Mal's call time was pushed back.

It's a personal thing.

I talked to her last night.

Which is actually really good,

because Zoe came in late

and she's still

in the makeup chair.

They would have totally

run into each other.

Tell me we're gonna

get through this.

How are we gonna

get through this?

We're gonna get through this.

Can you... just pray a lot.

- Okay.

- Okay?

Hey, can I get

a stand-in, please?

Her favorite part

is standing in.

Oh, absolutely stunning.

It's lovely.

Can you actually stop,

so I can look at the lighting?

Oh, yes, I know. Hi!

Okay, alright. Just stay still.

Can you just sit...

lay in the center of the bed

and lay still,

and look up at the camera

Hey, Justin, I feel like last time

it was a little more shadowy,

just a little more intimate.

Not quite so... bright.

More shadows.

Can we do something about that?

Yeah, sure. Hey,

Kevin, can we look into that?

Yeah, no problem.

Hey, honey! How are you?

- I'm fine.

- Really?

Yeah, I'm on Wilson

Alright. Well, you know,

you're almost here,

so just look for the...

there's no number on the

building so it's a little tough.

Just look for the big

metal garage door.

Okay...

Okay. Alright. Just breathe.

- Bye

- Bye

F***!

Hey hey, we gotta go!

Come.

We gotta get Zoe out of makeup.

Let's go, let's go.

Cause Mal is almost...

- Hey, guys!

- Hey, how's it going?

Hey, you're new. I'm Zoe.

Hi, I'm Kevin.

Very nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you, Kevin.

- Hey, how's it going?

- You look amazing.

You're like glowing. You look like a

blond Audrey Hepburn or something.

- Your skin looks beautiful.

- Thank you! Thank you!

Exactly right! I can't believe

I didn't say that before.

- You look amazing.

- Thank you!

Alright, I wanna

show you something?

- Hey, how's it going?

- How's it going? Good to see you.

Alright.

Ben gave me a war room.

Since there's no space here?

Look what he did.

Since we don't have

a trailer for you today,

let's go in...

so we can chat for a minute.

What do you think?

It's nice, right?

Yeah. It's

actually really nice.

I know, it's kind of better than

the actual room we had last time.

I like it. He did a good job.

Yeah.

Definitely did a good job.

So, how are you

feeling, baby girl?

Okay.

You doing your breathing?

I see you're drinking water,

that's awesome.

I know, I know! I'm nervous.

I'm so f***ing nervous.

But it's all good,

it's so good.

You're gonna... you know,

knock it out of the park

like you always do.

Can people just not,

like mention anything?

Nobody's gonna...

you're taking lead.

If you want to talk

to people, you do.

If you don't want to,

you have this space to come to.

That's why it's here. Okay?

Look at the big comfy chair.

It's for you!

You know I don't sit.

Alright, so...

I'm gonna take

care of you today.

You know that, right?

You need anything...

at any moment...

You come to me.

Don't go to anybody else.

Alright?

I gotta go check on things.

- I'll be back.

- Okay.

I love you. I love you.

Hello!

Something's wrong

with this room.

Are you talking about the walls?

- That's part of it.

- There's not art on the wall and stuff?

Yeah! Where are the walls?

Oh, oh, okay. I get it,
