In tonight’s Fantasy Island episode the arrival of the Roses stirred up a few things. Seth and Natalie have been together for years. They have great careers. They moved into a beautiful house. The only thing missing was a baby. They’ve been trying to get pregnant for the past three years.
They’ve tried everything. Natalie was on so many medications that she hasn’t had a drink in years. They couldn’t even enjoy their sex life anymore because now it felt perfunctory. Their fantasy wasn’t to get pregnant. Their fantasy was to remember what it was like before they started trying for a baby.
They wanted to go back to their carefree days. They asked for a fantasy without worry. Only Elena didn’t exactly give them that. Elena made them forget about ever trying for a baby. They forgot all about it and they just enjoyed their vacation. They slept in. They played their favorite song nice and loud.
And they disturbed their neighbors. Vivian and Lou weren’t just their neighbors on Fantasy Island. They were also neighbors in real everyday life. The two couples argued constantly. They almost came to blows when they realized they were each other neighbors on vacation.
Vivian’s fantasy was to read under her favorite tree. She couldn’t do that because her neighbors cut down her favorite tree. They had to dig out the roots to make room for their pool. The same pool that wasn’t happening because Vivian was suing them to prevent the pool from going ahead.
The two couples were told that their fantasy couldn’t go ahead unless they made peace with each other, but they really hated each other. Vivian put a dead rodent on their lawn. Seth arranged his garbage cans all over their yard.
The problems go back all the way to when they first met. Lou and Vivian had lived in that neighborhood longer. They were friends with their original neighbors and then those people moved away to go retire somewhere. Seth and Natalie moved in. Vivian made them a special basket. She got angry that they never returned the basket.
They meanwhile didn’t think they had to because they thought was just an arrangement she bought. They didn’t know she made it herself. She hadn’t mentioned she made it herself. And so they threw away the basket.
They also tried apologizing for the tree. They didn’t just remove it to make way for their pool. The tree’s roots were found to be rotting and that’s why they had to remove it. Only Lou threw the fact they were infertile back in their faces. He ruined their fantasy of forgetting. He made Natalie so angry because Natalie was secretly friendly with Lou until then and so she decided to retaliate by destroying their fantasy in return. She ruined Lou’s golf clubs. She also took a chainsaw to Vivian’s tree. It was getting so bad that Elena had to intervene.
Elena decided to put the two couples in court. The hearing would determine who would have to move. Up first was Lou and Vivian. They planted the tree when they moved into the house. They carved their names and that of their children on the tree. They buried their dog under the tree. The tree was tied to a lot of memories. Memories that Vivian didn’t always get to enjoy because she was working all the time. Vivian’s anger was a cover for a lot of sadness. She felt she should have been there more for her children and now they were all grown up.
Natalie and Seth hadn’t known about her worries. She hadn’t even told her husband about them. She also didn’t give her husband the chance to make decisions. Vivian was bit of a steamroller. Something that Lou secretly told Natalie during their weekly golf game. Natalie and Seth went next. They expressed how they only wanted the pool because they thought it would help manifest their dream. That if they imagined pool parties for their kids that the kids would come. Seth and Natalie were just wanting what Vivian and Lou got to enjoy.
They have a bunch of baby stuff with no baby. Their case came down to a golf game. Lou made sure to lose because he and his wife realized that the other couple deserved to be happy in their new home. Only Seth and Natalie weren’t truly happy with their win. They realized they were trying for a baby because they thought that’s what they should want and they realized they were already a family. They also realized they needed to apologize to Lou and Vivian. They later stopped by their room and they finally took the chance to get to know each other.
Natalie and Seth have decided to give themselves a break. They were moving back to the city and they were set on living for each other. As for Vivian and Lou, they weren’t staying at their home either. They were going to buy an RV and travel the country.
And Elena realized she and Javier can be friends after all.
THE END!
