**what —** The generous ex: proof the film has warmth under the gags — an old flame who roots for the reunion anyway.
**where —** Among the dating-show contestants, quietly on the heroes' side.
**why —** Because the romance needs someone with history to vouch for it.
**how —** By helping T.S. even though it isn't her own happy ending on the line.

**the seal —** We didn't work out, T.S., but I'll still help you get the girl. That's what the good exes do.
