Love & Anarchy Season 1 Episode 2 Surprise Me

Alice has been a faithful employee at Metronorm, a successful publishing company, for years. She’s happy with her routine job, and her loving husband, but everything changes when she meets Max. Max is a free-spirited and impulsive consultant hired by Metronorm to shake things up and increase efficiency. Alice and Max become intrigued with each other, and soon they start a game of making each other do unexpected and challenging tasks, with each task becoming more dangerous and unpredictable than the last.

In episode 2, "Surprise Me," Alice and Max continue their game of making each other do unexpected tasks. This time around, Max challenges Alice to go a whole day without her cell phone. He wants her to break away from her routine, and experience the world without the constant distraction of technology. Alice reluctantly agrees to the challenge but finds herself struggling to keep her mind off her phone and the lure of all the social media notifications.

Meanwhile, at the office, Max stirs up some trouble when he suggests changes to the company's creative strategy. His ideas are not conventional, and some of the employees are apprehensive about implementing them. However, Alice, who has gone without her phone all day, finds herself surprisingly open to Max's ideas. She even suggests some of her own creative solutions that Max appreciates.

Alice and Max's game takes an unexpected turn when Max surprises her with a romantic dinner on a rooftop, complete with candles and jazz music. Alice is hesitant at first, but the ambience and Max's presence make her feel an inexplicable connection. Max apologizes for the risky tasks he’s made Alice do but reassures her that he's there for her if she needs it.

The episode ends on a cliffhanger when Alice receives a call from her husband while they're on the rooftop. Max insists that Alice answer and invites her to tell her husband about their game. Alice hangs up abruptly, leaving Max worried and unsure of what will happen next.
