    Imagine, the most powerful, AI-controlled bomb, set to blow up the planet thinks you?re it?s mommy. It still is set to explode and suggesting otherwise would blow your cover, but you can suggest inconspicuous actions, that include delays, thereby buying your buddies the time to defuse it.

    Very basic. There?s more to it, but yeah.

    >>> … attempt to make their unwaveringly loyal spouses fall in love with each other?

    I think Richiev’s version is good enough.? “Unwavering” is what is? discovered as a consequence of trying to match them up with others.

    How do you know that someone is “unwavering” about anything?? You know only because you challenge them, tempt them, test their commitment.? You can’t say someone is unwavering until their position or relationship is put to the test.? And that test doesn’t occur until Act 2.? But a logline is about the knowledge the protagonists act upon in the 1st Act, not what they come to realize by Act 3.

    If they knew that their spouses were “unwavering” in Act 1, they would have never tried their scheme.? They try their scheme because they don’t know, because they have (flimsy or fanciful) grounds to believe they can pull it off.

    fwiw
