Lauren and Alex get off to a rocky start, but eventually they settle into a good working relationship. Rather then step up for herself, she agrees to forgo her vacation and takes the job. Her timing couldn’t be worse, and when Alex shows up on the set, Lauren’s cousin assigns her as his “minder”. Her mother pressures her to visit her producer cousin in Spain, and despite the fact that she hates her cruel, idiot cousin, Lauren always puts others’ needs above her own and complies.
