First impressions
Wilder, hello. You look exactly like someone with a good story.
Fitz, hello. You look exactly like someone with a good story.
Okay, first impressions: you're taller than I expected and better dressed than me.
I like this place. Did you pick it or did it pick us?
The challenge
Honestly? Nobody's ever asked me that. Give me a second, I want to get it right.
What's the last thing that made you laugh out loud?
Depends who's asking. Since it's you, the true answer: it's complicated, in a good way.
Can I tell you something slightly embarrassing? It'll make sense in a minute.
The decision
I have a theory about you and I'm not ready to share it yet.
Tell me the last thing that made you properly laugh.
Okay, a real answer, no hiding. I'm minding a cat this week who's extremely judgemental. Yesterday it sat on my ukulele and stared at me like I'd personally let the tide out. I laughed so hard I rolled off the sofa. Your turn for the embarrassing thing.
Oh, that's a good one. Embarrassing? Well, there was this time at the market, I accidentally dropped a whole basket of scones.

The date
First impressions
Fitz walks up grinning and says, "Wilder, hello. You look exactly like someone with a good story." Wilder smiles back and says, "Fitz, hello. You look exactly like someone with a good story." Fitz jokes that Wilder is taller than expected and better dressed than him, and Wilder asks whether Fitz picked the pier or the pier picked them.
The challenge
A woman from Fitz's past walks down the pier unannounced, waves at him, and keeps moving. Fitz goes quiet for a moment, and Wilder notices. Fitz asks for a second to get it right, then admits it's complicated, in a good way. Wilder asks what last made him laugh out loud, and Wilder confesses he has an embarrassing story that will make sense in a minute.
The decision
Fitz says he has a theory about Wilder but isn't ready to share it. Wilder asks again for the last thing that made Fitz properly laugh. Fitz describes minding a very judgemental cat that sat on his ukulele and stared at him, and he rolled off the sofa laughing. Wilder reveals that once, at the market, he accidentally dropped a whole basket of scones.
The twist
The mysterious visitor from Fitz's past turns out to be nothing more than someone he once outgrew, and the real surprise is that the scone basket story is the most embarrassing thing Wilder has ever admitted.
The finale
Fitz and Wilder walk off the pier together, laughing about the scones and the cat, and both agree they want to plan another date. Neither has decided where or when yet, but the night ends with an easy goodbye.
