Resort to Love

Hey, New York, what's good?

It's your boy DJ Teddy P, and listen,

I'm hearin' some things.

I'm hearin' that there might be a super-exclusive listening party

for the new Cre album tonight.

Now, I don't know when or where it is, but if it's Cre, you know it'll be hot.

So if his people don't call me soon with the invite,

I might have to leak this track that just got sent to me.

You already know what time it is.

Yo, Cre! Hit me up! Ha-ha!

Yes!

Fabulous!

Okay, these two pair of lashes are weighing down my lids.

Shh. Okay. Now, tilt to the side.

- Okay. - Yes.

- Now sultry, but with a holding. - Okay.

Yes. Yes!

- Okay, we're done. I got it. - Okay. We good?

This is a perfect last-Countdown-to-Epic-Music post.

Oh my gosh, I'm so nervous. My hands are shaking.

Erica, when has anyone ever not liked a Cre album?

I know.

The man is a musical genius,

which is why he picked you to sing on these tracks.

- After tonight's listening party... - Yes.

...and the release of his album, your life will never be the same.

Mm-hmm, mm-hmm. Yes, and I cannot wait for you to hear it.

Because, girl... ...I killed it.

Of course, you did! Now grab your purse.

Oh, wait. Oh, is that a snag?

Amber!

No!

You really don't have anything else to wear.

I put everything in storage when I came to crash with you.

Why isn't this in storage?

- Just leave it. - No.

No, seriously, come on, girl. Put it back.

- We can make this work. - You're not cutting up my wedding dress.

Okay, you are never going to wear this.

And Jason is never coming back.

So, really, we're just making lemonade out of relationship trauma lemons.

What's it gonna be?

Congrats, superstar.

- Thank you, girl. - Yeah.

If it wasn't for you getting all the right people

to repost my little Insta videos, I wouldn't even be on Cre's radar.

Thank you.

Welcome to the most exclusive

listening party in New York City.

- Whoo! - Whoo!

You're about to hear the album of the year before it drops.

Get ready for Cre!

- Whoo! - Whoo!

Some of you are here to experience what's next.

- Yes! - Because this is a listening party.

And you are here to listen.

Y'all ready to listen?

- Yeah! - Whoo!

Good.

'Cause I want y'all to hear me when I say

I'm tired of being ripped off!

Last time someone stole my work and leaked one of my tracks online,

what did I say?

Huh?

This is my last album,

but no one's ever gonna hear it

because this world doesn't deserve it!

You should... You should look away.

I mean, I really thought my dreams were coming true.

But this... ...this is not a dream.

No, this is... ...this is a nightmare!

No.

He's gonna have to release the album. The record label's gonna make him.

He is the label.

He owns it.

Oh.

- Yeah! Just my luck. - Oh, I'm sorry.

Where you goin'?

Stop. Stop. Can you please stop?

Play... Play something else. Play anything else.

- Why? - Because...

Because I was gonna get married last year

to that beautiful song...

...to a nice man, Jason.

But he left to Charleston,

and I didn't go with him.

You know, he was a banker.

And he used to make these rice bowls,

and I just never made it home on time to eat them,

and then he called off the wedding.

And he took the rice maker.

I don't have any more rice.

Come on.

Look at me wearing my wedding dress.

And they were singing my wedding song.

I know.

Aw, come on.

Come on.

Happy Birthday, Jason, you amazing, wonderful man.

- Holy snap! Really? - Oh, come on!

Yes!

Thank you.

Now it's time to see if that wish actually comes true or not.

Oh!

Erica Wilson...

Wait, wait, wait.

Will you marry me?

Yes. Yes.

- Yes? - Yes!

- You will? - Yes!

Damn! Come on!

Erica?

Erica?

Erica?

That is not healthy.

What's the last time you went outside?

Outside costs money for one.

And B...

...red wine is full of antioxidants, so it's practically like a smoothie.

Not really.

Or at least a green juice, except it's purple.

Okay, look, I know it's been a tough couple of months,

but that is all about to change

because you're going to a tropical paradise!

Feast your eyes on the Mer de Saphir Resort

on the truly, stupidly gorgeous island of Mauritius.

I'm doing the social media for them,

and the point person mentioned they were looking for entertainers.

So, I sent him your Instagram, and he said, "When can she get here?"

Okay, where's Mauritius?

It's 700 miles east of Madagascar.

And look at the Jolly Rancher blue ocean.

Hmm, it's beautiful.

Mm-hmm.

And really, Amber, thank you so much for always putting me on.

But this is one step up from singing on a cruise ship.

What is that supposed to mean?

It means I haven't been grinding my whole life,

chasing my dreams of making my own music,

so I can sing cover songs in the hotel lobby.

It means I didn't lose a fiancé to become a lounge singer.

It also means I didn't risk everything, and I mean everything...

- Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. - What? Like to be a karaoke singer?

- Who am I? - Okay. Okay.

I see you ramping up, but let me stop you.

You didn't lose a fiancé.

He lost you by moving to Charleston for some boring VP job

in finance or whatever.

It's just seasonal.

Four months and you are back here in New York.

- Mm-mm. - I think you should consider this.

Because I'm worried if you don't do something,

you may never shake this funk off of you.

Who do you see yourself as?

Someone who fuses into the couch,

or someone who's ready to take another leap?

- Erica Wilson? - Yes. Barrington?

At your service.

Welcome to Mauritius!

I was just getting some band stuff before, uh, before I got you.

- Oh good. - Yeah.

But, um, well, I'm in the band, your band.

- Oh? - Yeah, yeah.

- Okay. Nice. - Guitars.

- Cool. - Uh, I'm also the, um, shuttle driver,

turtle wrangler, craft cocktail chemist.

- Yeah. - Um, among other things.

Okay, uh, they're...

they're only expecting me to sing here. Right?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I pick up the extra jobs 'cause I'm saving to buy a house.

- Oh? - Yeah.

I came here a few years ago and, um...

fell in love.

Wow, my gosh. Look at that.

I can see why. I mean, If you can wake up to this every day forever, why not?

Yeah, the island's beautiful, but I was talking about my girlfriend.

Ooh.

Well, she's from here and never wants to leave her home.

Oh, that's cool,

staying here for her.

Incoming.

Hello, Erica. I'm Claire.

I'm sure Barrington's brought you up to speed with arrival procedures.

Why don't you follow me, and I'll give you a little tour.

She'll be in cabana 78.

Make sure her luggage gets there, and Barrington,

remove your vehicle.

And don't be late for rehearsal.

As you know, we are a five-star resort,

and service adds brilliance to those stars.

Are you prepared to be brilliant?

And here, we have the main pool.

Whoa! Wow! It's so still and pristine.

I just wanna jump into it.

You like to disturb what is pristine?

Well, you can't. The pool is off-limits to employees.

Well, then, where do we go swimming?

The beach. Oh, but not the beach in front of the resort.

There's a public beach two miles up.

What is it?
