Plus, she scores two tickets to a Magic Mike Live! show that night, so maybe things are looking up. The girl loves bubbles and caricatures of herself on Jet Skis. The sightseeing tour bus is a bad idea - probably best to keep Jessie off all buses for a little while, honestly - but she seems to have a nice time at the street fair. It becomes obvious that to keep Jessie from, you know, collapsing into the fetal position in the middle of the street, she needs to keep moving. Their first date! Jessie feels a little rusty in regards to first-date experience: “I prefer to bump into someone a number of times over the course of a year and not get on a plane for them - a long con.” Tom is doing his best to keep Jessie calm and assure her that this decision was a good one. Well, first they have to run after the bus and grab Jessie’s luggage, which they forgot, but then breakfast. Tom suggests they take things one step at a time and start with breakfast. And while they are a little bit panicked over what this decision to stay means, doesn’t it feel so nice to be hanging out with Jessie and Tom again? The amount of times she goes back and forth between knowing she made a good albeit wild decision and wondering if she should regret that decision - I mean, her mom changed the sheets on her bed at home already, and she is going to be so mad about that - is astounding.

Life doesn’t just stop after two people realize they want to be together for realsies - there are a lot of logistics to figure out, you know? And in one of the best bits of TV editing in history (a hat tip to episode editor Robbie Morrison), the season-two premiere kicks off with a nice reliving of the end of season one, Jessie and Tom going in for that kiss - and then a smash cut to Jessie absolutely losing it on a very public London street.

There is a happy ending, yes, of course, we love people kissing on the back of buses, but the advantage a rom-com TV series has is that there is room to explore the immediate holy shit what did we just do moment that comes after the happy ending. People don’t just make giant decisions to blow off a costly flight and stay in a city for someone they love without some fallout. Welcome back to Starstruck, everybody! Although this show is a goddamned delight in a sea of misery, it is not a fairy tale.

STARSTRUCK 2 MOVIE

The Very Famous Movie Star and the little rat nobody kissed! They were so happy! It was very romantic!Īnd then that little rat nobody had a panic attack on the side of the road.

So, at the very last second, just as her magical carriage (a London double-decker bus) was about to pull away, she decided to stay.

But the Famous Movie Star did not want her to go, and that little rat nobody didn’t want to leave. Then, in her darkest hour, that little rat nobody decided to move back home to a faraway land called New Zealand. She also learned that being made to hide in a bougie-hotel shower for hours is not okay.

STARSTRUCK 2 HOW TO

The Very Famous Movie Star learned that he didn’t actually care what other people thought about the person he loved, and also how to play the game “A Celebrity Is Coming to Dinner But Will They Fit Through the Door?” The little rat nobody learned that it was scary to be vulnerable with someone and that she kept letting her insecurities get the best of her. They spent an entire year inventing reasons to bump into each other, being too scared to say how they really felt (which was something definitely akin to love) and arguing themselves out of being together, which everyone else could see was inevitable. Once upon a time, there was a Very Famous Movie Star and “a little rat nobody” who thought they were getting into bed for a nice little New Year’s Eve lay but ended up getting so much more.
