Yours Truly

Jacob offers to open a bottle of bourbon he brought for Daniel and Alexis before he saw that Alexis is pregnant. They play a drinking game, and Briana quickly becomes drunk. Briana confesses that when she left Nick at the end of their marriage, she filled their house with five gallons of glitter, even placing glitter on the top of fan blades. She also took lightbulbs from the refrigerator, the plate from the microwave, and various other things. She feels bad because Nick had to replace the carpet to get rid of the glitter. Jacob confesses that he sat in the rain the first time they talked on the phone. Jacob realizes he’s in love with Briana. At the same time, Briana confesses that she loves him, but Jacob believes it’s just a drunken declaration that she won’t mean when she’s sober.

Briana wakes up beside Jacob, not sure how she got there. The door is open, so she grabs her things and leaves. When Briana gets home, she finds that her mother, Rosa, has come to town unexpectedly early for Benny’s surgery. Benny and Briana argue over whose fault this is and who will suffer the most under their mother’s need to cook and clean obsessively. Later, when Briana calls Jacob, he asks to meet Rosa and agrees to tell both her mother and Benny that he is Benny’s kidney donor. Jacob again urges her to move in because Jill stopped by unexpectedly and noticed Briana wasn’t there. Briana agrees to figure something out. They linger on the phone, neither willing to hang up first.

The next day, Briana tells Rosa and Benny that Jacob is Benny’s donor and that she’s moving in with him. Benny questions Briana, wondering if she’s only dating Jacob because of the kidney. Briana insists that she loves Jacob but admits she would do anything to get Benny his kidney.

Briana arrives at Jacob’s home without warning and with all her belongings in tow. Jacob is ready to invite Briana into all aspects of his life but is disappointed to learn that she brought an air mattress and plans to sleep in the living room. Briana blows up the air mattress, and someone knocks on the door. Briana struggles to hide the mattress with no help from Jacob. When Jacob lets Jewel inside, she finds a mess in the hallway, which Briana explains as remnants of their passion.

Over the next few weeks, Briana and Jacob establish a routine and enjoy days off at his cabin. Jacob sends Briana flowers at work, causing Zander to question how fake their relationship still is. Jacob begins to feel threatened when one of the nurses tells him a patient is asking for Briana’s number.

A childhood friend of Briana’s, Levi, is a patient in the emergency room. Briana is excited to see him. He says that he has recently gotten divorced and come back home to start a relationship with his former next-door neighbor. They exchange phone numbers to catch up. Jacob comes into the room, and Briana introduces him as a friend. Levi, however, guesses the truth.

Jacob is annoyed that Briana introduced him as her friend and stews on it all day. That night is the dinner with their families. Jacob is jealous when Briana gets a text that he believes is from Levi. This jealousy deepens when Briana suggests she tell Levi the truth about their fake relationship.

Briana drives Rosa and Benny home, answering questions about Jacob’s family. Benny questions why Jacob never kisses Briana, and her mother tells her to commit to Jacob quickly. Briana announces that she has no intention of ever getting married again, but her mother argues that just because her first marriage ended badly, that doesn’t mean her second will. Briana tells them Levi is in town and she might have drinks with him. Her mother warns her that Jacob will be jealous, but Briana doesn’t believe her.

When Briana gets back to Jacob’s, they get ready for bed and lie in Jacob’s bed to watch television. Briana expresses concern over Jacob attending Jeremiah’s bachelor party the following night. Briana receives a text and tells Jacob it’s from Levi. Jacob asks if they ever dated, and Briana says his family wouldn’t have approved because Rosa was their housekeeper. Briana tells him that Levi invited her out for drinks and that she thought she’d go on a day when Jacob would be busy. When Briana’s phone keeps pinging, Jacob suggests she go to bed. Jacob has trouble sleeping. The next day, they prepare for the bachelor/bachelorette parties together, and Briana is on her phone all the way to his parents’ house. Briana notices Jacob’s increasing anxiety and suggests he leave, but he insists he’s fine. The moment they enter the house, Amy announces that she’s pregnant. Jacob flees the room.

Briana follows Jacob into his parents’ basement and finds him having a panic attack. Briana crawls into Jacob’s lap to try to calm him, telling him over and over that she loves him. Then she begins using a grounding exercise to get him to focus on things he can hear, feel, and taste. Briana begins to cry, too, convinced he’s upset over Amy. Jacob kisses her, and they become intimate. Afterward, Jewel comes into the basement to tell them the limo has arrived for the guys. When Jewel leaves, Briana has a change of heart. She says that they’ve made a mistake and she doesn’t want Jacob to touch her again. She locks herself in the bathroom.

Jacob is confused by Briana’s behavior: First, she said she loves him, and now she’s pushing him away. He leaves his keys for Briana and walks home. He decides to write in his journal while he waits for Briana to return.
