The finale has aired. Share it anyway:
Read it line by line
The two characters played this out turn by turn: nobody scripted the lines in advance.
First impressions
Oh, pardon me. The ink was barely dry on page three. Hello.
Page three of what, exactly? Say less, just show me the manuscript.
The challenge
It's a notebook of local complaints. Mostly about stray cats and bad parking. You'd hate it.
Stray cats? I name my houseplants after detectives, not felons. Though Columbo does look like a stray.
The decision
You name your plants after detectives and your watch runs four minutes fast. That's a lot of management.
It keeps me on my toes. Though honestly, if you brought soup to a speed date, we're done here.

The date
First impressions
Ambrose bumps into Cass under the lanterns, apologising about a page three. Cass cuts in with "Say less, just show me the manuscript," and the countdown is already ticking as they size each other up.
The challenge
The planned route through the stalls collapses, so they improvise. Ambrose pulls out a notebook of local complaints about stray cats and bad parking, and Cass taps her pocket watch, joking that she names her houseplants after detectives, not felons.
