Ford asks West to practice bowling so that he can tell him about himself and Rosie. Now that Ford is balancing his career, parenting a teen, and starting a relationship, he understands West better. Ford tells West that he and Rosie are together. West isn’t surprised and says that it’s about time they began dating properly. West’s only condition is that Ford remain in the bowling league.
Ford emails Rosie to remind her of the fundraiser in Emerald Lake that they’re attending. He purchases her a dress, and they take a private jet to the event. Rosie says that she feels like a “princess” in her dress as they fly to the fancy resort for the gala. Ford is distracted by worrying about Cora, who he left with his parents. He’s anxious to return home in time for her upcoming end-of-school event they are hosting. Rosie jokes about returning to their room and letting Ford rip off her dress. He says that he might, and she says that if he destroys the expensive dress, she will “break up” with him. She freezes, realizing that she inadvertently labeled them a couple.
