00:00We're in Notting Hill.
00:01If you're gonna have to have a fresh start,
00:03at least it's here.
00:04Three scallops, two steaks, and one lobster, please.
00:07Yes, chef.
00:08Stella.
00:09Stella.
00:10How behind are we?
00:11We're good. I'll step it up.
00:12How is it possible to have your whole life mapped out in them?
00:15Boom!
00:16Your fiancée leaves you,
00:17your parents say you're too sheltered
00:19to reach your full potential,
00:20and then you move halfway across the world...
00:23Whoa!
00:24...to a place where everything
00:25is trying to kill you, apparently.
00:27There's a man up there that wants to speak to you.
00:29How mysterious.
00:30I think he's a critic.
00:31Did you enjoy your food?
00:32I most certainly did.
00:33I was surprised when the quality changed halfway through, though.
00:36Sorry?
00:37Review of new restaurant Glass Silver.
00:39I'd recommend it in a heartbeat for the setting,
00:41but maybe this chef needs more time to find their full potential.
00:44I'm here for a meeting with Theo Hastings.
00:46I have a proposition.
00:47I need to put someone new into the culinary stratosphere
00:50to save my job.
00:51I think you need a new job.
00:52Let me introduce you to the proper London food scene,
00:54and then you can make up your own mind with your eyes wide open
00:58and prove to your parents you actually did give this a shot.
01:00So, you ready for another adventure?
01:02What's the plan?
01:03I thought we'd actually explore the city today.
01:05I feel so good when I'm with him.
01:07Like, he makes me feel so comfortable.
01:09That's amazing.
01:10You know, you were saying you'd be lost without me.
01:12No.
01:13Stella, it's this way.
01:14Theo will be lost without me.
01:15Oh, shut up.
01:16How do you know so much about food?
01:18I grew up at the homestead.
01:20It's a restaurant.
01:21You want to make a name for yourself
01:22so you don't live in your dad's shadow.
01:24Welcome to our little slice of paradise.
01:26I think you really have to explore the world
01:27to know where your heart really lies.
01:29You look like you're in your element right now.
01:31I can be adventurous sometimes.
01:33You know, I had fun today.
01:35I seem to have a good track record with that.
01:38It's been a joy to watch Stella Martins
01:40try to rediscover her passion.
01:42The food she's cooking now is some of the best she'll ever eat,
01:44but her full potential is yet to be realized.
01:47He wrote about my life, me, my personal flaws.
01:50He's a journalist.
01:51No, he's a liar.
01:52You're so set in your comfort zone,
01:53and you refuse to do anything else.
01:55That stuff was off-limits!
01:56I trusted you!
01:58I'm going back to the States.
01:59I'm going home.
02:00Thanks for making my decision easier.
02:03You're the Kiribar, huh?
02:04I didn't even realize it was happening.
02:05Things happen when you least expect them to.
02:08How did things stand with Theo?
02:09We said some things we didn't mean.
02:11What are you going to do about it?
02:14I am so sorry.
02:15I never, ever wanted to hurt you.
02:17I think I'm going to stay,
02:19as long as you take me to the country
02:20whenever I need some inspiration.
02:22There'll be a thousand adventures to go on.
