What happens in I’m with Lucy from start to finish, spoilers included, with a timeline of 12 key events. The opening is below; the full summary is a 3-minute read.

Spoilers ahead

Lucy, Monica Potter, is a journalist who is dumped by her seemingly perfect boyfriend and decides to test her heart with a year-long dating experiment. Across five distinct months, she meets five very different men, each encounter revealing a new facet of her own desires and boundaries.

In January, she dates John Hannah as Doug, an entomologist. The first meeting is light and flirty, but Lucy finds herself more unsettled than she expects, and the night ends with Lucy a little ungrounded and Doug trying to loosen up as the date progresses. The experience nudges her toward openness, even if the connection isn’t exactly what she is seeking.
