The Romcom Formula

The One Where Shannon Finds Out


Listen Later

The meddler becomes the meddled-with.

Fresh off her viral moment and back in full matchmaker mode, Shannon doubles down on her plan to spark romance between her sister Claire and hunky friend, Tony. What she doesn’t expect? That her plan might actually be working already.

While Shannon and Brian toy with the idea of Brian leaving his day job to help run Shannon’s growing voiceover empire, Claire and Tony are doing their own kind of creative collaboration—from workout banter to heartfelt lunches and artistic confessions. But just as the chemistry builds, Claire starts to suspect her sister’s been pulling the strings all along.

Meanwhile, a tense family dinner with their boomer parents brings gender roles, finances, and fiery one-liners to the table. And when the truth finally comes out? Shannon is equal parts thrilled and terrified.

Because every romcom formula needs conflict—and this one’s about to hit its big turning point.
