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
If I may — your left foot is very nearly in the third position, and I find that deeply moving.
Folks! Third position is just a derailment with good posture. Come here, I will not let you fall — much.
The challenge
If I may, I would prefer to be caught by a person with a ticket booth. It is a matter of provenance.
Folks, the booth is a card table and a coffee can. Provenance: me. Take it or leave it, but the bridge goes down at nine.
The decision
If I may — I would like to see the bridge go down. Whisper it to me beforehand, so I may flinch with dignity.
Folks, I will whisper it. And then I will rebuild it with you, overnight, where nobody sees. Deal?

The date
First impressions
Montgomery flinches at the music; Sunniva calls the waltz a controlled derailment.
The challenge
They bargain over a ticket booth made of a card table and a coffee can.
The decision
She promises a whispered warning before every collapse, and a quiet rebuild after.
The twist
The ballroom lights cut out at nine, exactly on her cue, and he does not flinch.
The finale
They part as friends, each already planning what to untangle and what to rebuild together.
Ending: Just friends
Who leaves the date first? They leave together
The box score
How this was scored
Just friends: warm enough (chemistry 66), but attraction 51 never got there. Endings read where the numbers finished, not how far they moved. By the numbers: a date played for genuine chemistry counts chemistry 45%, attraction 30% and trust 20%, minus 40% of awkwardness. This one came out +10.9 against an ordinary date: friends needs +11.0, a second date +16.0. Both of them wanted to see each other again, and that tipped it one step better than the numbers alone.
“I will whisper it. And then I will rebuild it with you, overnight, where nobody sees.”
