Liv is thriving working from home. She just wakes up, makes her matcha, throws on a top for a video call while keeping the pajama pants on. It's the good life.

Tom works for the same company—Artist Access—and he's thriving a little less. He's always showing up to video calls late. Lucky for him, he's going to continue being Head Designer with this new CEO, Waler, coming on board.

The CEO has big dreams, including a return-to-office plan. It’s a hybrid schedule—some will be in the office on Monday & Wednesday, others on Tuesday & Thursday.

She's immediately off to a rocky start—she's late due to traffic and gets a desk that's not by the window. She's supposed to put all of her belongings away when she's done for the day, but she wants to leave her succulent out, so she leaves a note and signs it Ms. Monday.

He sees this as an opportunity to leave some of his stuff out on the desk, which she does not love. At first, she isn't happy about that, but then he sends her a pastry, and all bets are off. They get real flirty, real fast.

They end up meeting in person at a work event but still don't know that they're pen pals.

They compete together in a work team-building event and they win!!! They win some sort of romantic prize, and they confirm to each other that they are talking to someone, obviously thinking of each other without knowing that they're the each other they're thinking of.

After weeks and weeks of talking anonymously, they agree to meet.

But she finds out who he is beforehand while she's at a retirement community that Tom's grandma is also at, and she talks about how her grandson is head over heels for someone named Ms. Monday.

She goes to talk to him before they go and make a pitch to Walter, and he's just gushing about someone named Ms. Monday. She tries to get him to see that she's Ms. Monday, but he's clueless.

The pitch does not go well, which bums him out, but at least he's meeting Ms. Monday tonight!

She shows up for the date but decides not to immediately tell him that she's Ms. Monday. She goes to the bathroom and messages him that she's not going to make it. When she comes out, he's like, "Well, my date bailed, wanna sit with me?" They talk, and he ends up saying that he felt like she didn't have his back in the presentation, and then he ends up leaving. She's sad.

But they end up having part 2 of their date/work prize, and the sparks are flying. Dummy Tom is like, "You have so many similarities to Ms. Monday!"

The next day, Walter shows a logo he had AI made and he wants to go with it. Tom quits. After hearing that Walter wants to get rid of all the designers in favor of AI, Liv quits too…via sticky note.

She finally decides to come clean and asks him to meet up again as Ms. Monday. He's so glad that it's her. They kiss and decide they're going to start a business together.

The movie kicks off with a bad guy stealing some diamonds and then breaking a window. They steal some more jewelry and break another window. They find another box of goodies and break yet another window. Finally, they leave.

While that’s happening, we see that Hannah is baking a pie! She finds out that Connie Mack wants to come and film in her bakery! CONNIE MACK! She’s a legend. And it gets better—they want Hannah to help! Obviously, Norman is around because he’s in love with her, and he doesn’t even know who Connie Mack is, but he’s still impressed. Chad comes by to pick up some muffins for the crew and to see Hannah’s face.

Chad is a busy bee working on this burglary case. He’s convinced he has the right guy but needs more evidence that the same person is involved in 13 break-ins.

It’s time for filming—Connie shows up and she’s a bit of a diva. Hannah immediately catches on to the fact that Connie doesn’t really know how to cook. Hannah tries to correct her at one point, which Connie doesn’t appreciate, and pours a pie on her head.

The producer apologizes to her afterward and confirms that Connie doesn’t know how to cook. He asks her to go along with it for one more day. The next day, Hannah finds the producer, Hunt, dead. We see on his computer he was reading an article about the burglar—Chassley—that Chad was investigating.

Obviously, Hannah begins to investigate herself. She catches Connie on the street, and it seems like she has a jaw problem she didn’t have before. And no one can get in touch with Hunt’s wife. Suspicious.

She finds out that Hunt moved the booking to their town after finding out about the court case of Chassley, and that’s what he was looking at on his computer. Sure is odd.

As she’s updating Chad on what she’s found, a car comes speeding toward them and he has to pull her out of the way. What gives?!

They decide they’re going to set a trap by announcing very loudly that Hannah’s mom is going out of town and is leaving all her expensive jewelry behind!

It works. They catch the bad guy. Turns out it’s Connie’s assistant, who is Chassley’s dad. She was going to stage a break-in that looked exactly like Chassley’s to keep him from being convicted of all 13 break-ins. She killed Hunt because Hunt knew about what she was planning. Luckily, Chad calls her, figures out that she’s in trouble, and comes to save the day.

They're taken captive, and Kat finds herself in Cyrus' office. He tells Kat that he thinks having a witch on his side would be good for him. He asks how to stop the sky from falling.
