Director: Dan Gregor — Writer: Erin Ehrlich Aired: March 29, 2019 — Season: 4 — Episode: 16 — Nielsen ratings: Description: Rebecca spends time with Nathaniel, Josh and Greg in an attempt to get clarity on her feelings.
Rebecca meets Dr. Akopian at the line in a coffee shop to tell her that she's been indecisive about her love life and the three dates she's agreed to go on. The deadline for her to decide is next Thursday, which is also Valentine's Day. Dr. Akopian assures her that it's might be a good idea, but is unsure about doing it on that specific holiday.
Elsewhere, White Josh decides to set some rules for the three men: since Nathaniel is rich that would give him an unfair advantage, so the set the top bar for the date for 50$; since Josh has a good body, he must not take off his shirt during the date; and Greg's advantage is comments and remarks.
Gurl Group, minus Rebecca, have a lunch at Home Base and discuss Rebecca's love life and upcoming dates. Paula is rooting for Josh, Heather for Nathaniel and Valencia for Greg and all three of them cite that the men have changed and evolved. Tim, Jim, Kevin, Sunil, AJ, Darryl, Mrs. Hernandez, George, Maya, Hector and White Josh overhear them and they all decide to bet on their choices (♫ Love's Not A Game ♫).
Hector is worried that Greg doesn't have a change next to rich Nathaniel. Paula's worried about Tommy's last baseball game and the banquet dinner when she realizes that the only thing nobody signed up for is "Salmon for 60 people". Hector suggests to Greg to help Paula because that would gain him some extra points with Rebecca.
The first date is with Josh in front of their house in a tent with some bonfire trying to recreate their time at Camp Canyon Grove and "bring everything to a full circle". They eat and talk about their past and kiss at the end of the night. Over at the Home Base, people eagerly wait for the results from the next door neighbour who informs them that Josh and Rebecca woke up next to each other in a tent. Greg and Hector bring the salmons to Paula who quickly realizes what are they doing.
The second date is with Nathaniel who takes her up on the mountain for a picnic. The spot is near the theatre with "The Greatest Hits of Broadway with Michael Bublé" which they are able to ear, but he soon quickly realizes that it's actually "70s Groove Nights with Marty Macaroon and Funky Town Eight", but they dance to it anyway and kiss at the end of the date. Over at the Home Base, people eagerly wait for the results from the drone and the images show the kiss. Greg goes to rent a balloon for his date from Bernie (♫ There's No Bathroom ♫).
Rebecca follows Dr. Akopian to a wine bar to tell her that the dates are not clarifying the things and questioning whether she should go on a date with Greg. Dr. Akopian assures her that she doesn't have to go if she doesn't want to. Rebecca walks down the street wondering what to do when she sees Greg (♫ Love's Not A Game (Reprise) ♫). His car broke down and they go to the shop together. Meanwhile, the moms tell Paula that the people never eat the salmon even though someone has to make it. Heather informs everyone that Bernie told her that Greg never came to get rent a balloon for the date which make some people panic about their bets. At the wine bar, Josh and Nathaniel talk about their dates. They congratulate each other regardless of the result.
At the car shop, Rebecca and Greg talk about the balloon he was supposed to rent. He reveals that the date made him nervous and Rebecca reveals that she was about to text him to cancel when she ran into him on the street. This elevates some pressure and they discuss what food to order.
