Mr. Brett insists it's better to discuss things directly, but Elena is much better at this lesson than Lena.

So while Elena protects her borscht from a forest monster and doesn't settle even for 10 out of 10, Lena circles around her own home, looking for hints from the German handsome, and hopes that a ticket home will save her from talking.

And they both put on their smartwatches and measure their heartbeat rate. Seems everything's alright: Elena gets her 200 out of ten and Lena... well... she'll be fine too as long as you keep your forks off her cheeseniki.
