Sorry, I'm just a little nervous.

It's my first time.

Online dating, I mean.

It's a little awkward, honestly.

She said I didn't listen.

I mean, what does that even mean?

Well, communication can be complicated--

She said I didn't hear her.

"Hear her."

I mean, if it didn't always register,

it's just because I've heard it all before.

Ho, ho, ho!

Merry Christmas!

You know, your picture did not do you justice.

Oh, well, thank you.

And a doctor, no less.

An eye doctor, an optometrist.

As smart as you are pretty.

But I've got to ask,

why the dating app?

Honestly,

my girlfriend set it up for me,

and it's my first time,

and probably the last.

What about you?

I...

You know, I'm just,

I'm so busy at the restaurant,

and it's hard, you know, to meet people.

You know, I saw your show.

Oh boy.

What was I making?

Some kind of Continental Sizzler.

Okay, yeah.

Yeah.

-It looked really good. -It is, it is,

and you know what, the best thing,

it's so simple to make.

Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.

I think that I am going to lead

with my strong suit

and cook for you sometime.

In case I wasn't clear,

that was me asking for another date.

-No, I... I got that. -You did?

- Yeah. -And?

Yeah.

-Okay. -That sounds good.

Good.

Good morning, Keisha.

Morning, Sarah.

How was your weekend?

Spill all the beans,

don't spare any details.

Okay, do not get too excited,

all right?

I don't know if I'm ready to date yet,

but after a lot of coffee,

and a lot of disappointments,

I may have met someone.

A guy from the dating app?

Maybe.

Okay, yeah, you were right.

Am I hearing this correctly,

Sarah Levin on a dating app?

Yeah,

what's the big surprise?

It's just... so not you.

Well, maybe you don't know me

as well as you think you know me.

Maybe I don't either.

Are you being profound or you're just confused?

I think I'm just profoundly confused.

-Me too. -Yeah.

Okay, I want to hear about this date.

Come on.

Uh, okay, well,

there were a lot of "never-gonna-happens" there,

and then the last one...

might actually be a keeper.

Ooh...

does the keeper have a name?

He does, actually.

His name is Nigel Templeton.

Apparently, he's this well-known chef.

Yeah, I've seen him on TV. I love that guy.

Well, before you and the top chef

run off together,

you wanna come take a look behind the plastic curtain?

Hmm? Tell me what you think?

Well, that sounds exciting.

Come on.

Well, as you can see, everything is going--

As you can see, everything is going according--

Hey, Jimmy!

-Jimmy! -

You want to give it a rest?

Oops.

Hey.

Didn't mean to blow the moment.

You didn't blow anything.

This is really incredible, you guys.

Everything should be done by the last night of Hanukkah.

Wow.

You always pull through, you know that?

Of course.

Okay, the moment is over, back to work.

Okay.

Um, thanks, you guys.

Yeah, here. I'll help you.

Two in the morning,

and then two at night, okay?

Thank you for coming in.

Adam Lesser is coming in.

You're kidding.

He lost his glasses.

Says he needs another pair.

Again?

Mm-hmm.

I think he's got a thing for his eye doctor.

A little Christmas, a little Hanukkah.

Looks really nice.

I'm all about the Christmas.

And I'm all about Hanukkah--

So we compromised.

Ah! Jinx.

Pow!

Well, I'm both, so it works for me.

How can I help you, Adam?

I know this is getting old...

Mm-hmm?

but I can't find my glasses.

Have you checked your face?

Uh, these?

These are my spares.

Uh-huh.

You seem to have a lot of spares.

You're not buying this, are you?

No, but it's very entertaining.

Well, it might be easier

if I just ask you out.

Or I could, you know, just keep buying glasses

until you run out of lenses.

No, no, um...

how about we start with coffee,

and, uh,

see where that goes?

Yeah, okay.

Coffee.

Coffee would be great.

Okay, great.

Okay. Coffee.

Coffee.

Okay.

Uh, hey,

see you at the meeting tomorrow.

Yes, you will.

9:00 a.m. sharp,

or I should say 8:55, for you.

- -8:55, sharp.

-Don't be late. -I won't be late.

Got a lot to cover.

It's Nigel.

Ah.

Does Nigel know about, uh, our friend, Adam?

No, because I didn't even know about Adam.

It's a complete surprise.

I feel like I'm putting off this weird newly-single vibe.

It's not so "newly," Levin.

It's been four months.

Right, but, you know,

Paul and I were together for a long time.

Four months feels like a couple days.

He didn't deserve you,

and if you forget,

I'll be right here to remind you.

You might have to remind me a lot.

I'm beginning to think

I'm never gonna find my soulmate.

Here.

Something to lift your spirits.

This right here is from circa junior high.

- -Okay?

I found it in a box I have full of Hanukkahs past.

I made it for Bubbe Rose.

You made this?

Yeah.

It's beautiful.

Thank you.

Okay.

I'll see you tomorrow. Bye.

Bye.

Hmm.

Hey, Bubs.

You know, things are looking up.

I actually met someone.
