a whole other batch.

Everything is going wrong.

I don't know, Hannah...

I give up.

No.

Just a few hiccups.

You make a new batch.

In the meantime,

we have

a wedding to plan,

and you're not giving up

on that either.

- But...

- No buts.

The last thing on our checklist

is the invites, right?

Which I didn't even get

from him last night.

Okay.

You go concentrate

on the chocolate.

I'll go to get the list.

Hey...

we're a team, right?

Yep.

We got this.

[Hannah]:

Hello?

James?

Whoa.

You look amazing.

What's the occasion?

Uh...

I have an appointment.

An appointment?

Mm-hmm.

Honey,

an appointment

is when you go to the doctor.

You're dressed to impress.

Well, that too,

and I'm late.

What's up?

Charlotte asked if I could get

the guest list from you.

The guest list?

We're sending out

the invites.

The wedding's on.

They'll be there,

and so will she.

Okay.

Well, look,

it's in here somewhere.

I'm really late.

I've got to run.

Feel free

to have a look.

For your "appointment."

Yeah.

What?

Nothing.

Nothing!

Light-pink peonies?

A list?

Everything you overheard

Nicole say she liked.

She obviously saw this

before she told him any of that.

So she was playing him.

Yeah,

and she still is.

He looks all dressed up,

on his way to an "appointment."

An appointment?

I bet.

Exactly.

You better figure out

a way to stall him.

He's dressed to kill,

trust me.

Well, where is

this so-called appointment?

I didn't ask.

Never mind.

I have an idea.

Yep.

[phone ringing]

Hello, Charlotte.

Hey, James.

Uh, listen,

I am so sorry to bother you,

but I'm stuck

on the side of the road,

and every service station

I called

said they can't send anybody

for an hour.

What's wrong?

My car just... died.

So... could you come

and take a look at it?

I'm on my way somewhere,

and I'm already running late.

You know me, I probably just

turned the wrong knob

or something.

Pretty please?

Cherry on top?

Where are you?

Ooh...

look at you,

looking all snazzy.

Yeah, do you like it?

Looks okay.

It's growing on me.

I bet it is.

What did your car

do before it quit?

I don't know,

it just sort of...

stopped.

Well, look,

your cap wires are loose.

Not sure how they could have

just fallen off like that.

Okay, there.

Go ahead and try

and start it.

What are you doing?

Big hurry, huh?

I bet.

Yeah, and I'm

already running late.

What are you...?

My keys are in there!

Oh, are they?

Sorry.

What's wrong with you?

What, yours is locked, too?

I have to be there

in 15 minutes!

Whoops.

I'm never going

to make it in time now!

Oh, yeah, and I bet

it's real important.

Looking all snap.

The new James Cooper.

She's got you all

bundled up and packaged

just the way

she likes it, huh?

What are you talking about?

Please.

Don't worry,

she'll get over it.

You think...

you think

this is for her?

Ah, yeah.

Charlotte, I was

on my way to the auction,

to bid on my grandfather's car.

Say what?

Oscar found it, the one

I've been looking for

for the past five years?

The one

he restored himself.

The one

I've been waiting for

to come back

onto the market.

It did, okay,

and the auction's today.

Oh, crud.

Is there still time?

It was sold

10 minutes ago.

All right.

Who's the numbskull

who locked the keys

in both cars?

Hello, Oscar.

Good afternoon,

Ms. Sweeney.

Is Charlotte here?

She's out.

What can I do for you?

Well, I'm just making sure

everything's on track

for Saturday.

There's going

to be a lot of press,

and, well,

I just want to make sure

she doesn't leave me

at the altar.

Ah, yes.

Ooh...

is this it?

No, she's still blending

the final mix.

It's not quite right yet.

But it'll be ready

for Saturday?

Oh, yes.

And it's going to be terrific,

isn't it?

If you're fair,

it'll be the most amazing thing

you've ever consumed.

Well, this is

the new concept wrapping

she showed me

for her new chocolate.

It is.

I'm dying for a taste.

Well, if you eat that one,

you'll wish you were.

Were what?

Dying.

Why, what's wrong with it?

Charlotte mentioned you get

a reaction to strawberries.

Oh.

Oh, yes.

Thank you.

Well...

let Charlotte know

that I'm going to call her

with details.

Of course.

Why wouldn't I be fair?

Because nothing's ever fair

in love and chocolate...

is it?

Thank you,

Oscar.

You're welcome.

[Hannah]:

That is bad.

I don't think

he's ever going to

speak to me again.

I wouldn't

if I was him.

Thank you.

It's my fault...

bad intel.

No, look,

it's mine.

I'm the one who's

acting stupid.

It's just her.

I don't ever want

to see her face again.

[phone ringing]

[Hannah]:

Now, that's funny.

Isn't it, though?

Nicole!

Charlotte!

Nicole.

I want to apologize.

For what?

Okay,

I admit I have been...

trying to win James over...

but business is business.

Oscar said your new flavor

will be ready for the tasting

on Saturday.

Yes, it's really close.

I respect that.

What do you say we shelve

our current competition

and focus on the one

that matters most at the moment.

For how long?

Until after the competition.

Truce?

Truce.

Agreed.

Agreed.

What?

A momentary

armistice.

How diplomatic.

Right?

Good?

It's the one.

Mm...

Absolutely magical.

Talk to me.

Oh, it's nothing.

It's just...

I made this for him, too.

Thought maybe

he'd finally like chocolate.

Engine trouble?

Listen,

I know you're mad at me...

but I'd really like you

to come tomorrow.

Never been a big fan

of chocolate.

You know that.

I think you'll like this one.

I made it for people

like you,

people I'm...

trying to win over.

Hey, Charlotte.

Hey, Jimmy.

No slacking off!

Really?

It honestly wasn't planned.

I literally just

bumped into her.

Yeah, right.

That's a violation

of our terms!

We never defined

our terms.

Uh, what terms

are we...

Nothing.

Listen, just come tomorrow.

Biggest day of my life,

and it won't mean anything

if you're not there.

You do know the irony

of what you just said, right?

Sorry.

I'll think about it.

It's a large crowd,

eagerly anticipating

the moment

that Charlotte unveils

her new, secret flavor,

and none other

than Nicole Sweeney,

founder and editor in chief

of Chocolate Monthly

and one of the world's

leading chocolate connoisseurs,

has been touring

the country

to name

America's best chocolate,

shall be the first

to taste this new creation.

It's not just

the most original

and best-tasting

chocolate

that will win the award

and be on the cover

of my magazine,

but it's also the story

behind the chocolate

that's very important.

Who is Charlotte Bennett?

What drives her?

What itch does she

like to scratch?

[reporter]:
Hold that thought.

Here she comes now.

Bon appetit.

Are you ready

for your big moment, Charlotte?

I am, Nicole.

And you're confident

that this is the best

you have to offer?

[Charlotte]:

Never more so in my life.

That's a lot to live up to
