Mark walks out to where Teddy is talking to Alex and once she's done, she walks over to Mark and nervously tells him that she'd love to have dinner if he's up for it. Alex watches as Mark says he's going to take her to lunch instead so that they can get to know each other in broad daylight and see if they are interested in the same future, because he wants to build a life and a family and isn't wasting time on someone who doesn't share that. Dude. Even for the woman who wants that -- that intro is WAY too strong and he's going to have the ladies bolting like the roadrunner while he is left looking confused like Wile E. Coyote. However, this is the end of the episode and things need to be wrapped up, so Teddy looks at him like he's a new guy, he tells her he'll pick her up at noon, and when he walks away she finally says, "okay," a little shocked but clearly pleased.
Bailey is dressed in pants, looking foxy, holding a glass of wine and looking out at a gorgeous view from a gorgeous apartment in which a gorgeous man is cooking her dinner. He talks about grilling outdoors and how it doesn't really work in Seattle, but she just fiddles with her wine glass, clearly not listening, and cuts him off. She announces that she doesn't do things on a timeline just because it's the third date, and she has been out of the game for a while but still only plays by her own rules. She starts to say something about his expectations but he cuts her off to ask if she's giving him a lecture. He's good-natured but he's also serious, and she is stunned and finally tells him no. He points out that he thinks that she is, and that she does that because people are scared of her and don't want to interrupt her once she's going, but he's not scared of her so a lecture won't work. The whole time he's telling her this he's still puttering around working on the food and looking as HOT AS THE SUN. Holy hot doctors, Batman! Bailey is shocked into silence, so he tells her not to worry, that she can ask a question, he'll answer it, and then it's her turn again. He then gives her a bright smile and tells her to go ahead.
