#Q ORIGINAL QUESTION

Regarding About Time (2013), how does Tim eventually re-meet Mary after the timeline change?

#M ANNOTATED LLM RESPONSE

In About Time, Tim originally meets Mary at a "blind" restaurant (Dans le Noir), where they talk in total darkness and hit it off. However, after Tim uses time travel to help his playwright roommate Harry—whose play was ruined by a forgetful actor—he realizes that by being at the theater, he never went to the restaurant. As a result, Mary’s number disappears from his phone because they never met.

To re-meet her, Tim uses a small detail Mary mentioned during their original meeting: her obsession with Kate Moss. Here is the specific sequence of events:

The Exhibition: Tim discovers there is a Kate Moss photography exhibition running in town. He spends several days sitting in the gallery, waiting for Mary to show up.
The First Re-encounter: Mary eventually arrives with a friend. Tim approaches her and tries to strike up a conversation based on the chemistry they had in the previous timeline. However, since this is the "first" time she is meeting him in this reality, she is polite but uninterested.
The Bad News: During this conversation, Tim is devastated to learn that Mary now has a boyfriend (Rupert). He asks her how long they’ve been together, and she reveals they met at a party the previous week.
The Time Travel Fix: Tim asks for the specific details of that party (where and when it was). He then travels back in time to the night of that party.
The Party: Tim arrives at the party early and intercepts Mary the moment she walks through the door, before she has a chance to meet the man who would have become her boyfriend.
The Success: He uses his knowledge of her interests (Kate Moss, her job in publishing) to charm her instantly. Even though he comes off as a bit strange because he knows so much about her, his persistence pays off, and they leave the party together, successfully resetting their relationship.
