The episode's emotional peak arrives when Wilde describes the precise moment she knew the relationship was over. It was her birthday — March 10, 2020 — when she asked Sudeikis if he'd gotten her a present and he replied, 'What would I get you, Olivia? I don't know you.' She points out he wasn't wrong: they had stopped engaging in the knowing of each other, stopped asking questions, stopped being curious [1] — Olivia Wilde "On her birthday, March 10, 2020, Wilde asked Jason Sudeikis for a birthday present and he told her he didn't know her anymore. Two days lat…" 1:28:50 . Two days later, COVID lockdown began. They were trapped together, trying to repair something that was already over, until the painful realization hit that staying together was helping no one. Wilde connects this directly to why she made The Invite: a film about two people in the same physical space who are miles apart emotionally.
Wilde and Jason Sudeikis's relationship effectively ended on her birthday, March 10, 2020, when he said 'I don't know you anymore,' followed just two days later by the COVID lockdown.
On her birthday, March 10, 2020, Wilde asked Jason Sudeikis for a birthday present and he told her he didn't know her anymore. Two days later, COVID lockdown began, trapping them in the same house as they tried to figure out what came next. That conversation was the real end.
Wilde's film The Invite has a deliberately ambiguous ending; she conducts a poll at every screening asking if the couple stays together, and women overwhelmingly believe they do not.
