No, I mean,

in the guest house.

Since we slept here

last night.

Uh-oh. Someone's in detective mode.

Sorry. I didn't mean to be.

That's okay.

I don't mind.

Have you explored

the grounds very much?

I think I have

a pretty good sense of it.

It's so pretty here,

isn't it?

It is. Would you like to go on

a walk with me?

Not really right now,

but you're welcome

to go on a walk.

It's your vacation, too.

Okay.

I'll see you

in a little bit, Sophie.

Okay, Ethan.

Whoa!

- Fascinating.

- Tell me.

Okay. Thai being in there is

100% convinced that she is you.

- She is?

- Yeah.

I threw out

some soft challenges.

She is unappable.

I think when

you go in there...

God, it's crazy.

Yeah, you throw out some

like very specific examples

from our past

and see how he reacts.

Oh, no, no, sweetie.

I don't think we're

supposed to challenge them.

What if they disappear

or something, you know?

What if they freak out?

I'm just saying what's the harm

in letting them think

that they're us?

Yeah, I mean, I...

All right.

There's no harm in it.

I just thought

part of the fun of this

was like the investigation

and trying to...

I know. Of course

you thought

the fun was in

the investigation.

Wait, hold on.

It's like at

the magic show in Vegas

when you told me

how the magician

did every single trick

and you ruined the entire show

for me and everyone around us.

Okay. You remember we talked

about the magic show

was three years ago

and we're moving past that?

- Okay.

- Yeah.

Let's go inside.

We'll make up

some ground rules together.

That way neither of us

feels like, you know,

there's any kind of...

Confusion.

- Or just being on the same page.

- Okay.

While we are

in the guest house

with the weird people,

no intimacy, no sex.

Yes. Absolutely agreed.

- No sex.

- Good.

What else?

Well, I would say that

would lead me to,

you know, no spying

and there has to be

trust involved,

and we'll be honest with each

other about what happens

in the guest house and...

Right. It's like a...

It's like a therapy exercise

in trust almost.

- It's a trust exercise.

- Okay, great.

- That's why we're here.

- Good.

Um...

Let's see.

I guess if there's

anything else...

Actually this is kind of

really important

now that I think about it.

We can have fun with this,

but if at any point either of us

becomes uncomfortable and

wants to stop,

we just out it off,

pack our bags...

Absolutely.

Absolutely. Agreed.

That's a good one,

that's a really good one.

Yeah.

Anything else?

I think thats it.

Then we are done.

Those are good.

So since we're just kind of

like dipping our toes in here,

I think maybe we shouldn't
