One of the most awkward arguments about the bill took place on the opening episode of First Dates USA

This was always going to happen.

THE AMERICAN VERSION of First Dates launched in the USA earlier this year, but it’s finally come to our side of the Atlantic thanks to E4.

They showed the very first episode of the series on Thursday night.

It has Drew Barrymore narrating, an Italian Maître D and all the awkward moments you’d expect from a quality First Dates.

But one moment in particular has gone viral since E4 shared it on their Facebook page last night.

When the bill came out for this couple

Oh. No.

As is First Dates tradition, they left the most dramatic date until last. Woody and Katheryn seemed to be getting along well – a few shots of tequila helped – until the bill was presented at the end. Now, any seasoned watcher of First Dates should know that the splitting of the bill is often a point of discussion – but the Americans, given it’s the opening episode, had no idea.

That’s when things got awkward.

Before the bill was even opened, Woody checked to see where Katheryn stood on the issue

And she had a *strong* position on the matter

2dates1 E4 E4

OK.

Woody repeated it back out loud just to be sure he heard it correctly

2dates2 E4 E4

Oh yes

So then, Woody opened up the bill to see the damage

Katheryn wasn’t happy with that

Immediately upon seeing the total, Woody ran to the jacks

Katheryn had some worries about his quick exit

2dates7 E4 E4

But no, he was just going there to make a phone call

And the waiter came to get the bill… but it hasn’t been paid

Woody described the situation to his friend

Woody came back out and paid the bill. But it only got more awkward from there:

“This was expensive. Just to let you know”

2dates14 E4 E4

He then showed her the $200 figure before they left

2dates15 E4 E4

Her response?

Yeah, that’s not a lot to me

THIS IS A CAR CRASH.

Then they went into the decision room

2dates16 E4 E4

Woody was straight in there:

“I do not want to see you again”

2dates17 E4 E4

Well, that’s one way to do it.

First Dates gave us an update on them at the end – and Katheryn is seeing someone* now

*who pays for all her meals

Woody and Katheryn will always have their one night together – and everyone watching will never forget their argument about the bill.

Welcome to First Dates, America. Enjoy.
