I need time to get out of this funk.”She's like, “Well, I'm not leaving either.”They call Leslie, and she tells them the house is big enough—why not just share it? They (reluctantly) agree.He's immediately annoyed by how they're handling the kitchen, and she's immediately annoyed that she still has writer's block.Her 15-year-old daughter, Abby, is there and keeps trying to cook for Matthew because she's into it.Terry goes into town and meets local chef Jean Luc, and she's pretty taken by him—and his accent.

Discover the magic of community-driven cat rescue in our latest Friends Like Us episode. Join host Marina Franklin, Becky Wisdom from Green Point Cats, and comedian Subhah Agarwal as they chat about cat colonies, TNR, and the urgency to help communities in the over populations of cats.  Becky Wisdom is the founder of Greenpoint Cats, a leading Brooklyn-based animal rescue organization focused on TNR (trap, neuter, return). Her journey into rescue began in 2018 when she moved to Greenpoint and found herself living on a block with a crew of unforgettable feline neighbors—an encounter that inspired her to take action. What started as an effort to help a few street cats quickly became a full-time calling. By 2020, Becky had left her career in marketing to devote herself entirely to rescue work. Her grassroots efforts sparked a growing community of animal advocates in Greenpoint and beyond, building a network of support and care for some of the city's most vulnerable animals. Her passion for rescue is deeply rooted in her upbringing, which included daily chores like caring for opossums and rehabilitating birds. With media coverage from New York Magazine, the Hallmark Channel, and several local TV news outlets, Becky continues to save lives—and inspire others to do the same. Subhah Agarwal has brought an honesty to her comedy that will leave you saying "I didn't need to know that." Subhah has written for Netflix's “Arsenio Hall” limited series, the "Plan B" movie on Hulu," and The Jim Jefferies Show"on Comedy Central, amongst others. You can also catch her jokes live at stand up comedy clubs across the country. If you don't want to leave your couch, you can see her late night debut on NBC's "A Little Late With Lilly Singh."

Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTHThe movie kicks off with big horses, big hats, and big fun! Cut to hotel employee Stella—well, so we think. She's sneaking into a room for some mysterious reason. It looks like she's wheeling in room service, but she's shocked to discover someone is actually in the room. It's Christian, and he's confused because he didn't order anything. Turns out, it's not room service at all—Stella designed a hat that she's trying to get in front of Christian's mom, Rosalind, who is apparently a big deal.Christian helps Stella sneak out when his mom unexpectedly returns, but she accidentally leaves the hat behind. Rosalind sees it, loves it, and decides she wants to wear it. Christian tells her that the woman who designed it had just dropped it off, then heads down to the lobby to tell Stella the good news—and invites her back up to meet his mom.Rosalind is impressed and asks Stella to design a hat based on her outfit. Rosalind's stylist is not a fan of Stella and is thrilled when Rosalind dislikes Stella's first design. She even tells Stella to “bless her heart,” which Stella doesn't realize is the sickest Southern burn. So it's back to the drawing board—but this time, they're doing a whole new look, dress and all.Stella starts hanging out with Christian a lot. They strike a deal: he'll help her navigate Kentucky high society so she can design the perfect hats, and she'll use her farm experience to help train Christian's nervous horse for the Louisville Derby. (Spoiler: all the horse really needed was a song.)Then there's this other dude, Davidson, who's clearly into Stella—and Christian fricken hates this guy.Meanwhile, Rosalind's assistant, Hannah, is super jealous of how much Rosalind likes Stella. She starts acting out: trying to embarrass Stella at a party, telling Christian that Stella likes Davidson (so he starts giving her the cold shoulder), and even trying to convince Rosalind not to wear Stella's hat. But Odette steps in and convinces Rosalind to wear it—and she wins the hat-off!When Rosalind realizes Stella is missing, Hannah finally comes clean: she told Stella she wasn't allowed to sit in the box. Christian rushes off to find Stella, and they make up.Then it's time for the big race… and they win! Christian and Stella finally share a kiss!

Feeling disheartened, she visits her mom, who gives her some simple but powerful advice: go walk the Camino. So, she does.Monica heads to Spain and meets Luis, who helps her with her shoes—and if that's not love, I don't know what is. Along the journey, they stay in homes of kind locals who welcome pilgrims. Luis is traveling with his son, Mateo, and his parents, which stirs up some tension—especially since all he really wants to do is talk to Monica. He even rides back on horseback to retrieve her devotional book. What a guy.One night, they're sitting by the fire and almost kiss, but they stop when the power goes out and they're left in the glow of the flames—because of course that would be too romantic to actually follow through.Now, something you should know about Luis: he avoids spending time with his son, Mateo, as much as possible. Mateo doesn't seem to care—until one night when Luis misses family dinner because he lost track of time hanging out with Monica. That's when things shift.Monica starts to feel like she's getting in the way of Luis and Mateo's Camino experience, so she quietly slips away.Later, Mateo turns to his dad and asks, “Do you love her?” And Luis is like, “Yeah.” So off they go to find her.They arrive at what many consider the end of the Camino—but she's not there. She kept walking. Monica makes it to the true end of the path and kneels to pray. Just then, Luis shows up, interrupts her prayer, and is like, “Hey, boo boo.”They decide they want to walk through life together—and they kiss.

So he decides to take her to an American theme park, Once Upon a Time Land. We meet Lacey, who plays Princess Sweet Pea. When Princess Rose meets her, she immediately becomes a big fan, and Lacey ends up waltzing with Henry. Obviously, at the time, Lacey doesn't know they are real royalty. But the next day, she is pulled aside at work and told the truth about who they are — and that they want Princess Sweet Pea to show them around the park personally.She does, and they get to talking. It turns out that Rose is deathly afraid of horses, but with Lacey's help, she's able to conquer that fear and get on the merry-go-round! Impressed, Henry asks if she would be willing to come back with them to his home and help Rose ride a horse. Apparently, it's a big tradition for the Order of the Lily ceremony. Lacey agrees.When she gets there, she is constantly catching strays from Henry's mom and this one guy who really hates her. But none of it matters because she's helping Rose with her fear of horses and spending more time with Henry — and the sparks are flying. They even end up kissing when he shows her his special spot.The Order of the Lily ceremony arrives, and Rose is really nervous. So Lacey rides alongside her, and it's a big success. But the guy who hates her is furious and tells Lacey, “If you think you're going to get Henry to fall in love with you, you're out of your mind. You're just a theme park princess.”Things go from bad to worse when Lacey loses her theme park job after a photo leaks of her in her Princess Sweet Pea costume talking to Henry. Why is that a fireable offense? Who can say? Heartbroken, she decides to leave before the ball.When she goes to return her costume to her old job, her boss tells her she has one more gig — and sends her out.

Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTHMore flags. More royal music. It's Reluctant Royal time, baby! Johnny is under a car, working his magic, muscles bulging. His girlfriend shows up to have it out with him and find out if he's ready to take their relationship to the next level. He is not, so she breaks up with him. But then her car won't start. Johnny works his magic, and off she goes. After work, he heads to the bar, where he's selling his juice. The bartender isn't thrilled to be selling juice, but it's Johnny! Who can say no to Johnny?!Cut to a palace where Prudence is helping keep things running smoothly. She goes to talk to the Duke, who is wanting to retire but has no one to take his place. That is, until Prudence discovers that he has a long-lost son.So, she shows up to talk to that son. It's Johnny. She arrives in the middle of his karaoke performance and tells him that his father, the Duke, would like to meet him. He's not interested until she talks to his mom, who never really told him about his father. She encourages him to go and meet him, and so off he goes. Prudence is surprised when he shows up and begins to notice that he's a bit rough around the edges. He won't even change his clothes to abide by the dress code.They meet, and you can tell they're related because they both touch their hair when they're uncomfortable. Johnny tells the Duke that he doesn't want any money, he just wants to know why he left. This does not go well, so Johnny leaves and heads to a bar. Prudence tracks him down to try to convince him to stay. They agree to let darts decide his fate. Obviously, she wins, so back to the palace he goes.He starts hanging out with Prudence, riding bikes, getting to know more about the palace, his father, and learning more about her. They ride horses, he makes juice, and he's actually starting to enjoy himself. It's time for his first royal fancy dinner. He has a cousin that he really dislikes. So, when he stands up and tells the Duke that he's excited to take his spot, Johnny stands up and tells his dad that he's had a change of heart—he's in. His dad is thrilled.He's feeling a bit stressed, so he goes to work on a car. His dad comes out to join him, and they chat. This becomes a nightly occurrence. The next day, Prudence teaches him how to slow dance, and they almost kiss.He finally has a heart-to-heart with his dad. He finds out that he never received the letter that Johnny's mom sent telling him about Johnny. And she never got his letters. I guess his dad was monitoring the mail. It's a sweet moment, and the next day they go for a ride in the car that Johnny fixed. Johnny takes his dad to his juice operation and invites them all to the royal dance.Everything is going great until the cousin brings some shocking news: turns out Johnny's right to the throne is illegitimate because Johnny was born after the marriage to Johnny's mom was annulled. Johnny says, “Well, at least I got to meet my dad.” He goes to leave, and Prudence tries to stop him, but he leaves.Prudence isn't going to give up so easily and thinks she's found something. She goes to make sure Johnny comes to the ball, where his mom is waiting for him. She announces that the annulment certificate isn't authentic. The Duke is left-handed, and his signature leaves a smudge. This one doesn't have a smudge, so it's not his signature. In fact, the Duke and Johnny's mom are probably still married! The cousin is furious and leaves.Johnny and the Duke hug. Johnny gives a speech, and then he slow-dances with Prudence as everyone watches. They go outside, kiss—BIG OL' HONKIN' ONES—and then run away. The next day, Johnny and Prudence are hanging out by the horses. Dad comes in and lets them know that one of Johnny's other cousins, Desmond, is getting married, and they're going to give him a horse. Johnny still has much to learn about his family tree.

Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTHThe movie kicks off with royal music and flags so that you know what you're getting yourself into. We meet Prince Desmond, who is getting pictures taken with Princess Coralina because they are going to get married despite the fact that they don't really know each other at all.Some time passes, and Desmond walks in to talk to Edwin, the butler, and catches him drawing devil horns on Princess Coralina. We find out that Princess Coralina broke things off with Desmond by eloping with a plumber. Desmond is doing quite fine with the breakup. His parents, on the other hand? King Richmond bets it's political! Desmond promises to make sure their countries don't go to war. He remembers that Coralina has a sister. Guess he could just marry her.Her name is Beatrix, and she lives in the States, working a normal job and going through a normal breakup. She begins getting a call from a foreign number but doesn't want any part of it. She answers and tells them never to call back again in a different language. Then, she walks outside, and someone is watching her through binoculars. Her friend Chloe notices him, but Bea is like, “Don't worry about it; I'm sure he's just looking for birds.” But he is not there just looking for birds. They end up getting cornered by some SUVs in an alley. Chloe is like, “I'm not letting you get kidnapped without me,” so she tags along.They make it to Desmond, and she is not having it with this royal nonsense, but then he proposes. She needs some time. Ultimately, this marriage between the countries was mainly to maintain peace between the two countries, something the kings stopped working towards once the engagement between Desmond and Coralina was broken off.So Beatrix decides to say yes, only so their dads can continue working towards an agreement. She has one request: to stop using the royal "we" and start talking in "I's." On their first night together, she convinces him to sneak out with her and get pizza and go bowling. They get into some trouble, but they have some fun! Obviously, they start to enjoy each other's company. They go to visit his parents, and then they go to visit hers. They keep having these late-night meet-ups, all above board.The families end up coming to an agreement, which means they don't have to get married. She gives him back the ring and says, “Hopefully, next time you give this to someone, it won't be for politics.”They go to leave but realize that they do want to get married. So he runs after her, and she runs after him. He proposes, and she says yes. They kiss.
