Liv is thriving working from home. She just wakes up, makes her matcha, throws on a top for a video call while keeping the pajama pants on. It's the good life.

Tom works for the same company—Artist Access—and he's thriving a little less. He's always showing up to video calls late. Lucky for him, he's going to continue being Head Designer with this new CEO, Waler, coming on board.

The CEO has big dreams, including a return-to-office plan. It’s a hybrid schedule—some will be in the office on Monday & Wednesday, others on Tuesday & Thursday.

She's immediately off to a rocky start—she's late due to traffic and gets a desk that's not by the window. She's supposed to put all of her belongings away when she's done for the day, but she wants to leave her succulent out, so she leaves a note and signs it Ms. Monday.

He sees this as an opportunity to leave some of his stuff out on the desk, which she does not love. At first, she isn't happy about that, but then he sends her a pastry, and all bets are off. They get real flirty, real fast.

They end up meeting in person at a work event but still don't know that they're pen pals.

They compete together in a work team-building event and they win!!! They win some sort of romantic prize, and they confirm to each other that they are talking to someone, obviously thinking of each other without knowing that they're the each other they're thinking of.

After weeks and weeks of talking anonymously, they agree to meet.

But she finds out who he is beforehand while she's at a retirement community that Tom's grandma is also at, and she talks about how her grandson is head over heels for someone named Ms. Monday.

She goes to talk to him before they go and make a pitch to Walter, and he's just gushing about someone named Ms. Monday. She tries to get him to see that she's Ms. Monday, but he's clueless.

The pitch does not go well, which bums him out, but at least he's meeting Ms. Monday tonight!

She shows up for the date but decides not to immediately tell him that she's Ms. Monday. She goes to the bathroom and messages him that she's not going to make it. When she comes out, he's like, "Well, my date bailed, wanna sit with me?" They talk, and he ends up saying that he felt like she didn't have his back in the presentation, and then he ends up leaving. She's sad.

But they end up having part 2 of their date/work prize, and the sparks are flying. Dummy Tom is like, "You have so many similarities to Ms. Monday!"

The next day, Walter shows a logo he had AI made and he wants to go with it. Tom quits. After hearing that Walter wants to get rid of all the designers in favor of AI, Liv quits too…via sticky note.

She finally decides to come clean and asks him to meet up again as Ms. Monday. He's so glad that it's her. They kiss and decide they're going to start a business together.

The movie kicks off with a bad guy stealing some diamonds and then breaking a window. They steal some more jewelry and break another window. They find another box of goodies and break yet another window. Finally, they leave.

While that’s happening, we see that Hannah is baking a pie! She finds out that Connie Mack wants to come and film in her bakery! CONNIE MACK! She’s a legend. And it gets better—they want Hannah to help! Obviously, Norman is around because he’s in love with her, and he doesn’t even know who Connie Mack is, but he’s still impressed. Chad comes by to pick up some muffins for the crew and to see Hannah’s face.

Chad is a busy bee working on this burglary case. He’s convinced he has the right guy but needs more evidence that the same person is involved in 13 break-ins.

It’s time for filming—Connie shows up and she’s a bit of a diva. Hannah immediately catches on to the fact that Connie doesn’t really know how to cook. Hannah tries to correct her at one point, which Connie doesn’t appreciate, and pours a pie on her head.

The producer apologizes to her afterward and confirms that Connie doesn’t know how to cook. He asks her to go along with it for one more day. The next day, Hannah finds the producer, Hunt, dead. We see on his computer he was reading an article about the burglar—Chassley—that Chad was investigating.

Obviously, Hannah begins to investigate herself. She catches Connie on the street, and it seems like she has a jaw problem she didn’t have before. And no one can get in touch with Hunt’s wife. Suspicious.

She finds out that Hunt moved the booking to their town after finding out about the court case of Chassley, and that’s what he was looking at on his computer. Sure is odd.

As she’s updating Chad on what she’s found, a car comes speeding toward them and he has to pull her out of the way. What gives?!

They decide they’re going to set a trap by announcing very loudly that Hannah’s mom is going out of town and is leaving all her expensive jewelry behind!

It works. They catch the bad guy. Turns out it’s Connie’s assistant, who is Chassley’s dad. She was going to stage a break-in that looked exactly like Chassley’s to keep him from being convicted of all 13 break-ins. She killed Hunt because Hunt knew about what she was planning. Luckily, Chad calls her, figures out that she’s in trouble, and comes to save the day.

The movie kicks off with Morgan Freeman narrating about birthday wishes. Cut to Casey, who shows up at Field & Plate for her birthday! As she's waiting for her friend, another family arrives for a birthday celebration, led by the birthday boy himself, Henry. Their tables are side by side, and they end up talking a bit. But then it’s cake time, and Henry’s family realizes they’ve forgotten the cake. Casey overhears this and suggests they blow out her candles together since they’re birthday twins.

Henry gets a call and goes to take it. He assumes it’s a spam call. He tells Casey, “Someone from Dance Your Heart Out just called me—whatever that is.” Casey is shocked: “Dance Your Heart Out?! I’ve always wanted to be on Dance Your Heart Out! Let me be your partner!” He’s not interested, but says, “You should take my spot.” She replies, “That’s not allowed! Please, do this with me!” He insists, “No.” She’s disappointed and walks out, talking to her friend from the Dead Letter Office. She says, “It’s really odd, because my birthday wish was to make it on the show!”

Things get stranger when she receives a call saying she’s inherited a farm. She starts to suspect there’s been a wish swap because inheriting a farm feels like something Henry would wish for. So, she goes to confront him. He admits, “Yeah, I wished for a farm, but a wish swap is ridiculous.” She suggests, “Well, let’s try something. I have one more piece of cake. Let’s do it again and maybe it’ll reverse the wish swap.” It doesn’t work. So, they strike a deal: he’ll work and earn money to get his own farm if he agrees to go with her and compete on Dance Your Heart Out.

From here, things follow a familiar path. They start hanging out—she’s doing farm work, he’s learning to dance. They do their first dance for the show and actually do well. They move on to the next round. For some reason, they get invited to perform at a stand-up club, and it happens.

There’s a document on her computer with her birthday wishes, but she tells him, “You can’t see it.” So, he opens it when she’s not around. Her wishes are:
1. Dance, 2. Comedy, 3.Fall in love

When she opens her laptop and sees the document is open, she knows he’s looked at it, so she goes to give him a piece of her mind. But then he says, “I love you,” and that’s all it takes. Forgiven.

They compete in the finals and win. The movie ends with them dancing in the bed of a pickup truck, and they kiss.

Ted and Marcus go into a literal closet to talk about what just happened with Grandma out there. The rest of the family quickly joins them to discuss. Marcus is like, "I don't understand why you’re all so afraid to tell her the truth. Grandma doesn't like change!" Marcus isn’t happy and leaves.

The next morning, Ted tells Marcus that he just needs more time and asks him to go along with it for just a little longer. Marcus reluctantly takes off his engagement ring.

Grandma controls everything, including when Marcus and Ella are going to get married. She demands that they have a photoshoot to announce their engagement, and it doesn’t go well, considering that they aren’t really in love. But Ted gives them a pep talk, and things start looking up—until Grandma drags them to her fortune teller. It turns out they're perfect for each other, which is almost worse for Ted.

Grandma gives Marcus her ring to give to Ella and then tells Ted that she wants him to take over the business.

The engagement announcement goes out in the local papers, so they all spend the day going around and getting all the newspapers.

They’re about to kiss, but Grandma interrupts them and asks Marcus to come explain the food because Ted’s mom made all of Marcus’s favorite dishes.
