Summary

Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTH Cassandra comes back from a hike and turns on the news, catching an interview with Dr. Susie, who helps her realize that she always picks the wrong men to date. She heads to work at the advertising agency. Her assistant Dana is getting married, but Cassandra’s boyfriend, Peter, refuses to go to the wedding with her because he thinks weddings are boring. At the wedding, Cassandra is seated at a table full of children—except for one other adult, a man named Robert. They really hit it off, but she leaves before they can exchange any contact information. Later, she's hanging out with her mom and sister, who help her see that Peter isn’t right for her. It becomes painfully obvious when, on a date to the batting cages, she just watches him hit balls the entire time—until she finally leaves. One day, while walking down the street, she sees Dr. Susie doing a book signing. Her sister insists they go in, and Cassandra is once again taken with Dr. Susie’s advice. The next day, while walking her dog, Cassandra bumps into Robert—who is also walking his dog. Sparks fly, and he asks her out on a date! They go play putt-putt and then transition to pool. They have the best time, and she kisses him on the cheek. The problem? There are too many sparks—something Dr. Susie warns against. According to her, Cassandra should choose someone boring and dependable. Luckily, she soon meets a boring guy named George and decides to give it a shot. So, she starts spending time with both men. With Robert, it’s all fun and excitement—he even brings her and her mom to an REO Speedwagon concert. With George, it’s formal dinners and predictability. While discussing her dilemma with her mom and sister, opinions are split: Mom is Team Robert, but her sister believes Robert contradicts everything Dr. Susie preaches. Eventually, Cassandra makes her choice and brings George to meet the family. It’s serious. But then she bumps into Robert at the mechanic. While waiting for their cars, they go bowling—and end up kissing. Cassandra panics and runs off. Trying to make things work with George, she kisses him too—but realizes there’s no real spark and breaks up with him. She throws away Dr. Susie’s book and rushes to find Robert at the town’s Chinese New Year celebration. They kiss and enjoy the fireworks together.
