Wake Up, Nat & Darcy

Ex-lovers. Ex-rivals. New cohosts. Oh, puck.

Cut from the US women-s hockey team right before her third chance at gold, Natalie Carpenter is scrambling for a plan that-ll help her avoid moving back home. The answer- a guest-hosting gig on Wake Up, USA-s winter games coverage. Her cohost- Darcy LaCroix, Nat-s ex-girlfriend, one-time college teammate turned adversary.

Since leaving Team Canada, Darcy has worked hard to make a name in broadcasting. If her big break requires sharing screen time with the former cocky freshman who turned her world upside down, so be it. At this point, there-s nothing between them except history.

But audiences disagree. #PuckingHotties is trending hard, and Nat and Darcy agree to lean into it--for ratings, obviously. It-s not like Nat can forget the way Darcy broke her heart or their bitter team rivalry.

Between working, traveling together and that irresistible spark, it-s getting hard to separate what-s real and what-s for the camera. Because somewhere underneath everything that went wrong is the sneaking suspicion that nothing will ever feel quite this right again.
