Karen, a recent widow, is looking for someone she can travel with and make new memories. As they sit down for their meal, Karen's nerves begin to show. Will Eric's charm be enough to put her at ease and kindle a spark?

Rebecca, a 29-year-old marketing executive, is up next. She meets with 32-year-old bartender Brad, who is looking for someone who can appreciate his creativity and sense of humor. The two hit it off immediately, bonding over their shared love of music and dancing.
