- December 5, 2019
In season 1 episode 2 of Home for Christmas, titled "Heavy Dating," Johanne continues her quest for love and decides to attend a speed dating event. But before she can even get to the event, she runs into her former crush, Henrik, on the bus. They catch up, but Johanne quickly realizes that Henrik is still with his girlfriend, Ingrid.
At the speed dating event, Johanne meets several different men, each with their quirks and interests. She seems to be hitting it off with one guy in particular, but when she discovers that he is still hung up on his ex, she becomes disheartened. Johanne confides in her friend, Jørgunn, and admits that she is tired of always being the single one in her friend group.
Meanwhile, Johanne's mother is dealing with her own love life issues. She reluctantly goes on a date with a man her friend sets her up with, only to be disappointed when he brings his young daughter along. Her friend assures her that it's a good sign that the man's daughter likes her, but Johanne's mother is skeptical.
Back at the speed dating event, Johanne meets a man named Bengt who seems to check all the boxes on her list. They have a great conversation, but when Bengt asks if she wants to see a movie with him later that evening, Johanne hesitates. She's hesitant to jump into something too quickly, and after her disappointing experience with Henrik earlier, she's not sure if she wants to date someone seriously right now.
After the speed dating event, Johanne heads to her brother's house for a family dinner. Her brother's partner, Nicholas, encourages her to keep putting herself out there and tells her that eventually, she'll find the right person. Johanne's niece interrupts the conversation and asks Johanne if she has a boyfriend. Johanne laughs it off, but her brother reveals that he's set up a dating profile for her on an app called "Heavy Dating."
Johanne is initially angry that her brother did this without her permission, but she agrees to at least check out the app. She starts swiping through potential matches and comes across Bengt's profile. She swipes right and the app tells her that they're a match.
As the episode comes to a close, Johanne is left wondering what to do. Despite her reservations, she's intrigued by Bengt and can't help but think that there might be something there. She's hesitant to jump into anything too quickly, but she also doesn't want to let the opportunity pass her by.
