Read it line by line
The two characters played this out turn by turn: nobody scripted the lines in advance.
First impressions
Planting unauthorized trees? Oh, you are absolute trouble, and I adore a woman with a rap sheet.
Let's definitely not talk about my rap sheet, okay? Tell me about these ring boxes instead.
Let's just say I have a very secure drawer and a terrible weakness for curiosity.
The challenge
Are you going to make me guess what kind of music is queued up next, or are we singing?
Oh, singing with me requires a solid frame, but let's see if you can carry a tune as well as you carry shrubbery.
I carry shrubs with absolute dignity, thank you very much! Lead the way to the mic.
The decision
Dignity and shrubbery are a rare combination; grab the microphone and let's see how well you handle a duet.
Only if you promise not to judge my terrible high notes!

The date
First impressions
Teo stands with perfect posture by the microphone while Inés enters holding a tote bag of rogue seedlings, sizing each other up over the screeching speakers.
The challenge
When the karaoke machine crashes and deletes all their song choices, they are forced to improvise a bizarre acoustic duet using only tambourines and vocal mimicry.
The decision
Laughing hysterically at their terrible harmony, they decide to ditch the remaining booth time entirely and walk out together as newly minted friends.
The twist
The broken karaoke machine actually forces them into a hilarious impromptu comedy routine that breaks the ice instantly.
The finale
They walk out of the venue side-by-side, sharing a warm platonic laugh and agreeing to meet up again soon. Both characters leave together as happy friends.
Ending: Just friends
Who leaves the date first? They leave together
The box score
How this was scored
Just friends: warm enough (chemistry 74), but trust 59 never got there. Endings read where the numbers finished, not how far they moved.
“If we keep singing like that, the local wildlife is going to file a noise complaint.”
Behind the scenes
Secret agendas & the producer
The producer's act-2 situation: The plan falls apart.

- Inés Castellano: Avoid talking about work
Guess the dealbreaker
Teo Brandt's real dealbreaker was Counting the steps out loud. You didn't guess this one.
You didn't predict this one.
