MatchMaker Mysteries: A Killer Engagement

"My bounty is as boundless as the sea, and my love as deep.

The more I give to thee, the more I have,

for both are infinite."

Will you marry me?

Wow.

That was beautiful

and the Shakespeare quote was perfect.

Well, I'm not surprised. It was your idea.

It's what I do. Now, let's get Emma out here

before I say yes to you myself.

Our Romeo is ready.

And our Juliet has no idea what's coming.

Angie, this could be our best on air proposal ever.

Places, everyone.

Welcome to a very special episode.

I met Aaron Scheller when we served together

on the board of a local charity.

Aaron was the high bidder at the charity's auction,

winning a chance to be on The MatchMaker,

and his match with Emma was perfect.

So perfect, that just six months later he's back to propose.

Emma thinks she's here to update us on their relationship,

no idea that Aaron plans to pop the question.

Let's see what Emma's answer will be, right after the break.

All my life, I've had the ability to pair people

with their perfect match from all over my home town

of Philadelphia.

Now, I'm taking my skills to you at home.

I'm Angie Dove, and I'll find you love

right here on The MatchMaker.

"The more I give to thee, the more I have,

for both are infinite."

Will you marry me?

Yes. Yes.

It's a match!

Congratulations.

Angie, this was the most awesome episode ever.

Thanks, Violet, and I meant to tell you,

congratulations on adopting a rescue.

How did you know? I haven't told anyone yet.

The tennis ball in your purse

and the plastic baggie in your pocket were a hint,

and that smile on your face and the little white hairs

on your shirt either mean

a new canine or an old boyfriend.

Okay, I see how you got the canine part,

but how did you know Ziggy was a rescue?

The biggest clue of all. Your heart.

I knew you'd want to help a dog without a home.

Thanks, Angie.

A wildly successful commercial developer and one of the city's

most eligible bachelors finds love with

a North Philly hair stylist.

On behalf of singles everywhere, I commend you.

Compliment acknowledged and appreciated.

How did you know this couple was meant to be?

Shared values, in sync personality types,

plus compatible lip shapes, similar sense of humor.

Whoa, back up, sensei. Lip shape?

Yes, it's just one of many personality indicators.

So, a full upper lip suggests a giving person.

Thin lips correspond with self-reliance,

and a pronounced Cupid's bow often correlates

with creativity.

There they are.

Than you both so much.

Without you, Aaron and I would have never even met,

let alone fallen in love.

After my divorce, the last thing I thought I'd ever want to do is

get married again. Emma changed all that.

Angie, you've given me another chance

and this time I'm gonna get it right.

We are throwing a small engagement party

at Aaron's place. Sunday, at 2:00.

We'd love if both of you could come.

We wouldn't miss it.

We have a party to plan.

Bye.

Sorry, they just look like regular lips to me.

Dad?

Dad?

Shouldn't you be restoring that thing in the garage?

It's cooler in here.

How's my Angela?

Great. I came over to make you a nice steak.

Well, it's great timing. I'm out of leftovers.

What's the occasion?

We had another successful proposal on the show today.

Hey, congrats!

Thanks.

Still, I gotta say, I wish you'd use the family name on TV.

Dad, the English translation of Colomba is "dove,"

which just so happens to rhyme with love.

"Angie Dove, I'll find you love."

I get it. I get it.

To me, you will always be my Angela Colomba.

To me, too.

What's with all the old files?

Well, I asked the chief if I could take a look at some

open cases from back in the day.

Dad, you're retired. You should be relaxing.

You sound like your mother.

How is she anyway?

Did she find herself yet?

As a matter of fact, this week she's presenting

a paper at a psychiatry conference in Dallas.

Well, that's as good a place to look as any.

When are you two gonna work things out?

What things? We're very happily married.

Living 1,500 miles apart?

That's why we're so happy.

What's up with what's his name?

Isaac. We broke up.

I thought his name was Alec.

Alec was before Isaac, and we broke up, too.

I seem to be better at fixing other people than myself.

It may take two to tango,

but it's also fine to dance on your own.

This is their idea of a small party.

So, when you first met Aaron, it never occurred to you

to fix him up with your partner in crime, Paige?

Bad lip fit.

Canapes, thank you.

Thank you.

Another perfect match. Peach and prosciutto.

What are you-- What are you doing?

Capturing the ambience for our social media presence.

You know what they say.

We don't want to intrude.

A quick walkthrough. I'll be right back.

Emma, you look incredible.

I kind of do, don't I?

And where's the groom-to-be so I can remind him

how lucky he is?

He's working if you can believe it,

but he's promised to join us very soon.

Now, can I ask a favor?

Yeah.

Aaron and I are writing our own vows,

and I would love to get the Angie Dove seal of approval.

"A match made in heaven, where one becomes two,

and two become one."

Emma, these are lovely.

I was also hoping to get your advice on something

that happened earlier. I'm at a loss a--

Angie, this is my cousin, Piper, and partner at my salon.

Hi.

Thanks for everything you've done for Emma.

Can we talk for a minute?

Yeah. Um, we can talk later?

Yeah. Absolutely.

Angie Dove, the one person able to get Aaron Scheller

back to the altar.

Well, I mean, it's not gonna be me up there.

I just made the introduction.

Yes, Emma.

Right place, right time?

Right woman.

Indeed.

I'm Rachel Turner, Chief Operating Officer of

Scheller Development, and this is Phillip Price,

Chief Financial Officer.

Pleasure to meet you.

We've never seen Aaron so happy.

On behalf of those who love him, thank you.

Well.

Where is he, anyway?

Emma said he was working but that he'll be here soon.

His assistant told me he was meeting with Rose Clarke.

The attorney?

The one and only.

She represented Aaron in his divorce.

And my ex in mine.

Tough?

Brutal. I'm still recovering.

Why is he seeing a divorce attorney right

before his engagement party?

Obviously, he's having her draw up a prenuptial agreement.

A prenup? I wouldn't think so. Aaron's not the type.

He's rich, isn't he? Then he's the type.

There goes your week.

A prenup requires an assessment of all premarital assets,

which means someone from Clarke's office

will be going over our books in excruciating detail.

I need a drink.

I'll join you.

Smile!

Paige, that's enough ambiance. Here, have a seared scallop.

Okay.

Declan, right? Hi, I'm--

Angie Dove. I know.

I've got you to thank for all this.

Let's hope my dad has more success with his second family

than his first.

Paige, this is Declan, Aaron's son.

Look, I've got to go.

Wait, what just happened?

Declan's had a few rough years.

Aaron's been trying to help him get back on his feet.

He doesn't seem too happy for dear old Dad.
