BRAN’S PARIS IS ALWAYS A GOOD IDEA (SEASON 1 EPISODES 4) SYNOPSIS

We find out right away that she's been talking to Knightly this whole time. Cut back to when they met the first time. Her boss calls her in and shows her this video of Jason Knightly dancing. He tells her we've hired him and he's actually going to be her partner in donor gifts. She is not thrilled and is talking trash about him when he walks in behind her and overhears her. They quickly butt heads and agree to compete to see who can bring in the most donors. He asks if they can go get drinks to smooth things over. She wanted to say yes but didn't. And that led to them being rivals for years.

We're back in Paris and we see them eating fries, having a moment. And she talks into the phone and says "you Knightly will always be my biggest what if."

After they finish eating fries, they go for a walk and talk. He asks if she's heard from the third guy, Marcos. She says she hasn't heard back. She says she kinda just ghosted him so I'm not expecting to hear back. I left immediately when I heard my mom was sick and I never returned any of his phone calls. It wasn't him, I was just a real mess. As they're talking, they get close to kissing but they're interrupted by texts from work.

She calls her sister to chat but immediately tells her to keep hanging out with her Irish boo thang.

The next day, Chelsea and Jason agree to go out after work to celebrate closing the $50 million dollar deal. She gets a call from Marcos but cancels. When they get to the meeting, Jason is the only one on the list. He insists that Chelsea is a part of this meeting. The CEO is basically like I don't want to work with Chelsea, I want to work with you, Jason. But Jason isn't having it. He just brags about how amazing Chelsea is and even says she's the reason he works at the ACC. The CEO wants to meet for dinner to talk more.

Afterwards, he talks about how he saw her give a presentation and was taken by her passion and applied the next day. She's like oh man and then I was so mean to you on your first day. He says I like you mean though. And you better not get soft on me just because you're falling for me. She's like what? And he's like don't worry, I'm falling for you too.

She finds out that this CEO did want her off this deal. Her boss tells her to just focus on securing the deal!

They show up to dinner and are shocked to find out that they've been invited to her house! She surprises them with a famous chef who is trying out a new menu on them.

She tells Chelsea she wants full oversight over where her money goes. Chelsea says that's impossible and goes to leave. She asks her to stay.

Chelsea opens up about how control is an illusion when working with cancer treatment. She opens up about her mom and how this work means so much to her because she wants her mom's legacy to mean something. The CEO opens up about how she had stage 1 breast cancer and she wants to help make sure that she can help as many people as possible. She's IN!

They go celebrate by going up to the top of the Eiffel Tower. He gives her his jacket to keep her warm and he holds her to keep her steady in the elevator. They get up there and it becomes clear that he's very afraid of heights. He asks her to distract him, so they start doing rapid fire question time and he almost kisses her but they decide to head back down to the ground.

He says he saw that Marcos called her earlier and he thinks that it kind of bothers him. She says I didn't even listen to the message. I haven't even thought about it. You know why? Because I am falling for you. And they kisssss big ones! She leg lifts! It's serious stuff.

They keep kissing all the way up the elevator. They want to keep kissing but she sees her sister waiting for her so she has to call it a night.

The next day, they're holding hands and he says she has to go see Marcos. He says I've fallen for you. I want to make sure that in the future, there's never any question about what ifs. She's like I don't want to but he really pushes her to go see Marcos cuz he's stupid. They kiss one more time and off she goes.

He hops in a cab with Chelsea's sister and finds out that the Marcos she's going to go see is a BILLIONAIRE!

Samara is on the phone with an old colleague who is in Australia for a trip. She asks Samara to come to Australia to help plan her parents' anniversary party. She's like I don't have another event for a few weeks….why the heck not.

She gets there and finds the yacht that her friend has for them to use. She is accidentally sprayed by water by Nate and it quickly becomes obvious that they know each other. Her friend, Liv, is like listen Nate is the best captain, you're the best event planner. It just made sense.

It doesn't take long for it to become obvious that Liv is trying to get these two rivals together!

They immediately start to bicker but then they start talking and hanging out. She starts wearing the necklace that he gave her back in the day. The sparks are clearly starting to fly again.

But there's a bit of an issue - she hired some firework company to put a firework show together but they're not getting the plan to Captain Nate. I'm sure it won't be a big deal though.

Nate & Samara go snorkeling and then he tells her he wants to get back into law. But then they get into an argument about how things ended between them at work. They really disagree about a witness that she wanted to put on the stand. But they talk it through and don't let the argument ruin the day!

Nate gets a call from that law firm but the person on the phone setting up the interview is confused and basically says crazy how you and Samara are interviewing for the same job. He's mad cuz he was under the impression she didn't want to do law?!

Then he gets a phone call from the fireworks people and he's like CANCEL THE FIREWORKS, GAHHHH! He goes to tell her the fireworks aren't gonna happen.

She finds out about how he's mad that she interviewed for his dream job and she's like dude bro I didn't apply for it, I got him the interview!

His brother is like dude you done goofed. You better fix the fireworks thing.

The happy couple renews their vows. It's nice.

The sun sets and she's beginning to think that the fireworks aren't gonna happen.

Nate shows up with flowers and apologizes and tells her he has an in person interview in Seattle next week. He is willing to break every rule in the book to not lose her and the fireworks start going off! They kiss BIG ONESSSSSSS!

Meet Gorr and his daughter, Love. They're the last survivors of their race. Love ends up dying despite their prayers to their god. After Gorr finds a weapon that gives him the power to kill gods, he vows to kill every god.

Let's catch up with our ol' pal Thor. He's in shape and hanging out with the Guardians of the Galaxy. Thor's ex-girlfriend Jane Foster is battling terminal cancer. Desperate for a miracle, Jane travels to New Asgard, where the broken hammer mysteriously reforms and comes to her hand because I guess she's worthy!

Thor arrives just as Gorr attacks New Asgard and is shocked to find Jane there holding his hammer. They team up with Valkyrie and my boy Korg to fight Gorr, but Gorr escapes with several Asgardian children cuz that's what bad guys do in superhero movies.

The group heads to Omnipotence City to warn the gods and ask for their help, but Zeus has no interest in getting involved. Instead, he tries to keep Gorr from discovering the city's location. When Zeus injures Korg, Thor turns on him, stealing his magical thunderbolt before escaping with Valkyrie and the others.

Thor learns that Jane is dying of cancer which obviously makes him real sad and they end up kisssingggg.

The group travels to the Shadow Realm, where they discover Gorr's plan to use Stormbreaker to reach something called Eternity, a mysterious being that can grant one wish. Gorr eventually gets his hands on Stormbreaker, badly injuring Valkyrie and leaving Jane weakened.

Thor realizes that using the hammer is actually making Jane's condition worse by preventing her body from properly fighting the cancer. Knowing he may not have much time, Thor heads to Eternity alone. Using Zeus's thunderbolt that he now has, he gives the kidnapped children his powers so they can fight Gorr's monsters while he takes on Gorr himself.

When Jane realizes Thor is in danger, she joins him to help. Gorr makes his wish but ends up dying. He asks Thor to take care of Love. The hits keep coming and Jane ends up dying in Thor's arms.

In the aftermath, Love returns to New Asgard and joins Thor on his adventures. Thor wields Mjolnir while Love carries Stormbreaker, and the two become an unlikely superhero duo.
