- The stakes are so high because I really like this kid,
and I'm like, this might be my final date with Vinny.
- What's up, Peachiana?
- Hi, Choochiana.
- Peachy is always happy-go-lucky and smiley,
but I do need a deeper connection,
and I have to see if there is more to Peachy
than just being all "peachy" all the time.
Welcome to our picnic. - Yay!
Aw, it's so cute. - I don't think
we have enough pillows. - I know. Me neither.
- If you want more, just let me know.
Are you hungry? - A little bit.
- Me too. - Amazing.
How did we get here in this process?
- It's funny, but some people connections,
I feel like it's like this.
Like, you meet them, it's like, a spike.
And I feel like with me and you, it's just been
like a slow cruise, you know,
to like, where we are. Do you feel like that?
- I do, too. I think, especially
because, like, night one,
your nose started bleeding in the middle of us talking
and I was like, "Oh, cute."
- Sorry, hold on. I'll be back.
- Is this kid okay?
I'm like, wow, he really is awkward.
[both laugh]
- I just spit out my food.
Well, I was like, "Oh, my God, Peachy, Staten Island.
She has the nickname and everything."
But the next day,
all I did see of you was when you were in the beef.
- I don't want to keep on just having
this weird energy in the air. - But you walked into
someone else's room hot.
I was so embarrassed afterwards.
- Like, are you just hiding that side of you,
you know what I mean, like-- - No, it just hasn't been,
like, provoked the way it was.
- Even when you were fighting with her, like,
I wasn't judging you for that. I was like just--you're just
were just a different person looking back at it.
It just wasn't, like, positive Peachy
that we know today, you know what I mean?
- Yeah. - Peachy is an amazing person.
I was expecting some crazy Staten Island girl,
but that couldn't be more often the Peachy
that's here right now.
You really are like therapy.
- Really? - Yeah.
- Stop. That makes me so happy to hear.
- Positive vibes. Have you always been like that?
- No. - Really?
- No.
I, like, went through a really, really dark phase of my life.
- Is that with your relationship thing or--
- No, it was more so like--
like, I had a really bad eating disorder when I was younger.
- Really? - Mm-hmm.
- I'm definitely seeing some depth from Peachy,
learning a lot about her past,
about what she's had to go through
so I'm happy she opened up to me.
I had a great date.
- Me too. Thank you.
- On the outside world,
dating Peachy, I think would actually be pretty fun.
She's, like, a positive person that gets me out of my shell.
I can see her being, like, the perfect girl
because she, like, aligns with me a lot.
Get some rest, and I'll see you tomorrow.
I'll miss you though.
- I'll miss you too.
Goodnight. - Bye.
