Sophie is the best dating coach in the city and her next client, Amelia, is going through a tough love emergency. Amelia has a major crush on her childhood best friend, Dash, and they signed a contract in elementary school where no matter what, they cannot date each other. Amelia is devastated and needs Sophie's help. Will Sophie help Amelia confess her feelings to her best friend and might risk ruining their friendship? And will Dash feel the same about her? So, he made you laugh. Any snub bubble accidentally came out of your nose? Uh-huh. And did he talk to you after that? No.

Nothing for 3 weeks straight. Got it. Okay. Let's set a time next week to meet and discuss and blow your nose before you come. I like Sophie. I like her so much. Hi, Amelia. Is it? Yeah. Okay. So, tell him. No, I can't just tell him. It's not that simple. Why not? What is that? It's our contract. The contract? Your contract? Yes. Me and Dash, we signed this when we were six together, and he takes this very serious. So, whatever is written in this official contract is legit.

Yes, official and signed. You read it, you'll understand. All right, let's see. Section 1A. 5-second rule works on all food. Yes, it does. If someone is secretly rich, the other person must know without testing their honesty. Are any of you secretly rich? No, sadly not. Okay. If one of us gets a dog, the other is automatically co-owner. Honestly, I would have signed this, too. Amelia's crush code name is Strawberry. Dash's is pineapple.

Yeah, we have this whole system. Whenever our crushes me, we use these code names. Ah, smart. My school's crush code name was always Apple. If you do something embarrassing at school, I do not know you. You must always join if one of us is online playing Roblox. Both of us don't have cooties. If we get famous, our YouTube channels must collab weekly. Ah, so this is the part you're scared of. He followed rules, Sophie. Even though they're written in pink marker, if I tell him I like him and he sees I'm breaking this rule, he's going to start acting weird and won't even see me the same anymore. I'm scared. I can't lose him.

Okay, don't worry, Amelia. We're not jumping ahead. We first find out how he feels about you first. You're not losing anything. And how do we do that? rewrite 67B. If the rule doesn't fit anymore, we update it. Tomorrow, invite him for just a casual hangout. No need to say anything yet. I'll just be behind your couch. Uh, why behind my couch? Best angle, zero reflections, no shadows, perfect surveillance. All right, mission one. Sophie and Amelia get ready to meet Dash. A totally chill, totally nonchalant meetup with Amelia trying her hardest to not show her true feelings.

Dash wondering what's going on with her, and Sophie watching from behind the couch. Can they complete mission one without getting busted? All right, you're going to stand here. Dash is going to stand right here and I right here. Perfect. [clears throat] He won't notice you. No, I'm going to be standing behind him so only you can see me when I guide you. And no one looks behind them. And even if he does, I know what to do. Not my first time.

Not your first time. I had a client who liked this girl for 8 years. And Oh my god. Calm down. He's early. Be yourself, but less Amelia. What does that even mean? Just go answer the door. Hey. Come on in. I was finally able to get you the flavor you wanted. It was sold out in three other locations, though. Oh, thanks. Uh, you remember my order. Thank you so much. Dang, I like how you decorated the place. Christmas. Um, are you doing anything for Christmas break? I mean, it's always snowboarding every year. It's like an annual rule at this point. Might as well

put in our contract. You're so funny. Oh my god. Well, um, speaking of our contract, you still take it seriously, right? Oh, yeah. Actually, do you have it around or something? No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Um, somewhere outside. I don't know. It would look be fun to see it again, though. Maybe ask some new rules or something. Anyways, you want to watch TV? Yes.

Okay. We could watch Zootopia 2 or Stranger Things season 5. Where's the remote? Oh, um, I'm starving. You want some snacks? Yeah. What you got? Um, cookies. Sweet. Was that really necessary? Um, it has peanuts in them. It's bad for you. Wow. Thanks, Millie. You saved my life. Well, I almost ended it by offering it to you, but thanks, I guess. Sorry. Um, I'm going to have to go now. Yeah. Yeah, you probably should. But I'll see you later. Okay.

Oh my god, I almost killed him, Sophie. I was such a bad friend. First of all, did I do something to you? I'm sorry. I have bad aim. I mean, to me, it looked like you're a really good aim. Okay. Well, he went to three different spots just to get my favorite boba. And he leaves cuz he probably think it was awkward. Yep. He was comfortable. He was himself. And that arm touch at the end. No besties hold on to each other for longer than 1.45 seconds. He held on for four whole seconds.

You for real? Mhm. Trust me, you two have potential. You just need some more one-on-one practice with me. So the next time he comes, you don't accidentally give him something else he's allergic to. Cuz if no more Dash, no successful mission. Okay. Sophie and Amelia are back at Sophie's office and it's time for mission two one-on-one training. Sophie wants to ensure that Amelia feels confident when it's time to confess her feelings to Dash. All right, we're practicing. I'm Dash. You're you. This is the moment where you tell him you like him. Wait, I'm actually going to tell him I like him?

Well, you ain't going to sing it to him. My bad. Oh my god, that's How are you so good being Dash? Hey Amelia, you want to talk to me? Oh, yeah. Um, stay together. Sorry. [clears throat] So, what's up, Amelia? No shield. You won't have Laboo out there. So, you wanted to talk to me? Yes. Um, I spent all night thinking about you and I also spent like 10 minutes texting. How you doing? Okay, better. But if you say that, he's gone. Just try lowering your feelings by 20%. Try just hinting about your crush and add a little playfulness.

Okay. Okay, I got it. Hey, you wanted to talk? Yeah. You know, I kind of like this one guy. Oh, who is it? Well, I can't tell you, but you know him really well. Like really well. No, do not say that. That sentence is illegal. This is so impossible, Sophie. I can't do this. I look stupid. Just a little bit. But you're fine, okay? Just you got to commit to it. Think of it like ripping off a bandage. Say the words. Don't try to fake anything. Don't try to expect anything. Just say what you feel.

Hey, what did you want to tell me, Dash? Um, I really like being around you and I think I like you more than friends. No hair tug. Okay, I know our contract said otherwise, but and I still have respect to follow those rules, but I think maybe just one rule that shouldn't be followed. It's us staying just friends. THAT WAS PERFECT. [screaming] SEE, I TOLD YOU can do it. Now, we just write on actual dash. No. Sophie dash cosplay. Just you and him and me behind your couch, of course.

Okay, now what? Now we'll move forward with mission number three. Detect Dash's feelings. How are we going to do that? We won't. I will. I'll take care of that. I got you. Time for mission three. And Sophie's taking a solo approach with Dash. This guy follows rules too strictly. But wait, maybe he's willing to break just one for Amelia. Oh, hey, sorry. Oh, hey, Dash. Hey, you. Long time no see. How you been? We never met before. Yeah, sorry. Remind me your name again?

I'm Sophie, Amelia's friend. Got it. Hey, Sophie. Hey. So, you heading from somewhere or going to somewhere? Just heading home. You same. I just left Amelia's. So, how do you two know each other? Uh, we just met through a couple mutual friends, but ended up hanging out more. She's super sweet, easy to like. Yeah, she is. That's funny. She never mentioned you before, though. Oh, yeah. We just mostly hang out in our friend group whenever we meet. The guys are really sweet with her. The guys? Yeah, there's like four guys in our friend group. They're I mean, them and Amelia hang out all the time together.

I see. Cool. Can I ask you something kind of random? Sure. Are you a rule follower? I mean, if I make one for myself, yeah, I stick to it. Even if it stops making sense later. I don't know. I'd still stick to it. Gotcha. I'm I'm just going through something that revolves around rules. So, if you made a rule for yourself that kept you safe but doesn't anymore, would you still stick to it? If it was holding me back, maybe. And if it was about a person. Good answer. All right, I'll let you get home. Tell me I said hi.

Sure. You, too. Most important day is here. Amelia is going to share her feelings with her best friend. Sophie needs to make sure that no matter what, Amelia and Dash can talk and make their decision. His whole face tensed up the moment I mentioned you hanging out with guys. What guys? Our friend group. The one I made up a few hours ago to tell Dash. What do you mean his face tensed up? What else did he say? I mentioned rules and I mentioned if he was willing to break them for someone and he said depends who.

Like come on, he's obviously talking about you. Y'all's two potential just increased by another 31%. I'm still so scared, Sophie. He is my childhood best friend. I've known him since I was six and he was seven. If I say something and he doesn't feel the same, it could ruin everything. I don't want to lose him, Sophie. Amelia, if you bury your feelings, the friendship will still change. You're still going to feel weird around him, and he won't understand why, but he's going to still sense that something is wrong. You'll still pull back. You'll still overthink everything, and you'll still wonder, "What if I just told him? But if you just tell him, even if the answer isn't what you want, at least he won't spend your whole life wondering.

And honestly, you being honest gives you one chance at actually getting him, not losing him. Yeah, maybe I needed to hear that. Now, when I'm behind that couch and you see me do this, that means it's time to confess. So, you can start your speech to Dash. Interesting choice, hand signal. But, okay. Refresh perfume. Okay. What do you think about this one? [screaming and laughter] I'm so sorry.

Holy crap. YOU TOLD ME IF IT SMELLED IT, I DON'T SMELL MY EYES. I KNOW. OKAY, BEND DOWN. BEND Oh my god. SIE, STOP YELLING. I'M TRYING TO HELP. HE'S HERE. HE'S EARLY. HE'S EARLY AGAIN. WHY CAN'T HE BE LATE FOR ONCE? Even that rule he follows. Okay, my eyes can't wait. You remember what I told you. Just be yourself, BUT LESS AMELIA. WHAT DOES THAT EVEN MEAN? NO. [screaming] HEY, DASH. Here we go. You got this, Amelia. Just follow your heart and watch Sophie's help behind the couch. Just talk to him. And finally, maybe you can rewrite section 67B together. Dash, you better

not miss the chance with her. Hey, Dash. Am I interrupting something? No, of course not. Come in. It smells good in you. Thanks. New perfume. M. It's nice. So, how you been? It's good. It's actually good. What about you? I've been good, too. So, I heard you've been hanging out with that new friend group lately. Well, yeah. I don't really hang out with them that often. I don't really like them. Got it. So, you wanted to talk to me about something.

Yeah, I really like hanging out with you. I like hanging out with you, too. No, like I like hanging out with you more than before. It's not like before is bad, but it's like a upgrade version, you know, like a 2.0. Like you know how you download an app in the app store and then when you upgrade it. Can I say something first? You're not the only one that's been a bit weird lately. I've just kept it inside. I've been trying not to say anything because I didn't want things to be complicated between us. But maybe it's worth it. I'll show you.

I've had this for a while now, but I wasn't sure if I should give it to you. What's this? Section 67B updated. No dating each other ever. Exceptions can be made if both people feel the same. Dash, you rewrote this. Yeah. Look, I know I'm strict about rules. I think they're there to be followed. However, why hold on to one if it doesn't do you any good anymore? I know I wrote them myself, but that doesn't mean I have to follow them forever, even if it's in our contract in pink marker.

I know it protected us from just being friends. But maybe it's supposed to be changed. There's two empty lines for us to sign if you agree with me. Yeah, I agree. It's not like I've been waiting for this forever or anything. Where did this come from? You know, I kind of keep my important things close. Okay. So, I guess that means the rule is different now. Does that freak you out? Hell no. Oh, I got some cookies. You want some?

Sure. They don't have peanuts in them. Yeah, of course not. I'm not going to make the same mistake twice. Section 1A 5 second rule works on all food. Another client, another success. Let's clean everything up. I'm happy for Amelia and Dash. They seem so cute together. Amelia almost ended him with those peanut cookies, but everything came to a perfect end. My head still hurts from being hit with a tin can in my face, but you got to do what you got to do for your work. Nothing can bother me now. Who's calling so late?

I'm sorry. You want me to help you with what? See you guys in season 3, I guess.
