About this episode

Kirk’s heart skipped a beat when he first saw Jenny crossing the college campus. There was only one problem: Jenny was dating someone else and didn’t even know he existed. But eighteen years later, a Facebook algorithm brought Kirk back into Jenny’s life, and he finally landed a first date with her. It would take a “Say Anything”-level grand gesture to win her back. And Ingrid shares the grand gesture that almost worked on her.
