Wow, if it didn't say Goblins on the door,

-I mean, look at this place. -Welcome, ladies, welcome.

It's stunning, and I love the orchids.

Well, not as much as I love that outfit.

You guys have done an amazing job.

-Champagne? -Please.

Cheers.

To the next chapter,

and a future filled with possibilities.

Mm, here here.

-Mm. -Ah.

Well, enjoy the party, ladies, and uh,

don't do anyone I wouldn't do.

Right.

Don't you just love this?

Oh, I mean,

last year, we were sitting here, at this exact table,

talking about the sex book.

I mean, who would've thought things would be so different?

And I have to say I have never seen

so many gorgeous men in one place.

Ooh, Erica, incoming.

Incoming.

-Hi. -Wow.

[Julianne] Wow.

Gay.

No.

Oh, uh, yeah.

As gay as Adam Lambert at a Miley Cyrus mall tour.

Oh, no fair; well, they can't all be gay.

Okay, how about that guy over there with the dreads?

Okay, nix that, he's wearing orange skinny pants.

Panning and scanning, panning...

-Oh my God, is that? -Who?

Oh God.

Oh chicken, you thought that was Ethan?

Uh, yeah.

Are you okay?

Yeah, totally. I'm fine.

-Who's Ethan? -Ethan's her ex.

Oh, oh, you poor thing.

I know exactly what you need.

-Come. -A set-up?

No, no, that wound is still raw.

So what Erica needs is my top secret, super duper,

heart-mending elixir.

I call it a Love Me Tender.

-Oh. -Really, Iv?

Yes, David.

And need I remind you

why I was driven to concoct this drink in the first place?

Ivan and I broke up once.

[Erica] Oh.

It was the worst week of my life.

I lost my true love,

the light in my heart, my best friend.

Oh, I'm sorry, Erica, I didn't mean--

Oh, no, don't, don't even worry about it.

Hey, are those oysters on a half shell over there?

-Yes. -With mignonette, lemon zest,

and little pink forks.

[Julianne] Ooh, delish, lead the way.

[Erica] They say losing a lover is hard,

losing a friend is harder,

and losing both is the hardest of all.

What do you do when a piece of your life

is suddenly missing?

We know we're supposed to move on, but how?

[telephone ringing]

[Ethan] Hello?

Hello?

[Erica] How do you move on

when there's a hole in your life that nothing can fill?

♪ Ba ba ba ba

♪ Who I will always be

[Erica] Whoa, wait; you bought a car?

Yeah, before I got fired.

But it just came in and I'm in love.

It's sleek and it's sexy

and it's the cutest shade of magenta I've ever seen.

They make cars in magenta?

What kind is it?

A Ford Fiesta.

Hey, chicken, you can borrow it whenever you want,

for meetings or whatever.

Okay, so when do I get to see it?

[Julianne] I'm gonna swing by

and pick you up after your workout.

Bye.

Hey there.

-Hey. -Uh, can I get a...

I don't know, whatever's the healthiest.

All right.

[sighs]

First time here?

Uh, no, actually, I'm a member,

it's just been a while.

-Welcome back. -Thank you.

-I'm Chris. -Hey, Chris, I'm Erica.

So, what kept you away so long, Erica?

Oh, you know, work stuff and just life.

Well, which is it, work or life?

[soft music]

Mm, delicious.

Erica.

[Erica] [gasps] Hey, you made it.

I got your text.

I can't believe they offer free babysitting here.

Well, we are a full-service gym.

Well, thank you, Chris, for the very tasty drink.

It is time for us to work out.

Oh, uh, well I was gonna get a water.

You can have my bottle.

The juice guy is cute; why are we running away?

Jude.

What, I'm not saying marry him, but he is hot!

And clearly into you, so maybe you should uh...

What?

Hook up?

No, that's a bad idea, right?

I just hate seeing you so sad.

-I am not so sad. -Yes, you are.

You know what, Jude?

People break up every day.

-And it's hard. -Yeah, it's hard

and I've been sad for three weeks.

And you know what?

Enough; you know, I'm starting to annoy myself.

Get over it, stop moping and thinking about him and

calling him and then hanging up.

You didn't.

[sighs] It was a moment of weakness, all right?

Anyway, I've just decided

that I need to be more pro-active here.

Okay, mm hmm.

I can't believe you're doing this

over the phone.

What do you mean you can't handle it?

Norm, I'm not asking you to handle anything.

Well, the next time you go on Lava Life,

you be sure to ask for a CAT scan and an MRI.

Okay, I want an honest opinion on this suit,

and I just switched shoes five times.

-What's wrong? -Nothing, nothing.

Here, let me see.

Okay, hang on.

[sighs]

I keep running scenarios.

What if they ask me why I left Mount Sinai?

Say you got a job offer in London.

What if they ask why I left London?

You say you missed your mother.

Let me see.

Ah, you look beautiful.

I don't want to have to tell them about the divorce.

It's uncomfortable and I feel pathetic.

Do you think I can say I left London for personal reasons

and just leave it at that?

Samantha, you have wonderful references,

you're charming, you're accomplished.

They'd be lucky to have you, okay?

Okay.

Call me after.

-Thanks, Mom. -Mm hmm.

[soft music]

[door latch clicks]

[sobbing]

-[speaking faintly] -[machines clanking]

[clattering]

Sorry.

Great.

[Ryan chuckles]

-Whoops. [chuckling] -Erica, hey.

[Erica] Hey, Ryan.

Hey.

-You cut your hair. -Yep, yep.

-So, how are you? -I'm good, how are you?

I didn't know you worked out here.

Yeah, it's been a while.

How's everybody, uh, parents, work?

Good, really good.

You know, parents are the same.

Um, work is a bit different.

I've actually started my own publishing company

with Julianne, my ex-boss.

Well, look at you, movin' on up in the world.

Oh, I'm not so sure about that.

Our office is basically the back room of this cafe.

It's called Goblins.

I know Goblins, good coffee.

The best.

So, um, what does Ethan think about all this?

He must be pretty excited for you.

Actually, um, Ethan and I, we,

we broke up.

Oh.

Yeah.

Well, I'm gonna get back to it.

-Okay, sure. -It's legs day.

-I hate legs day. -[chuckling]

Hey, it was good to see you, Erica.

Yeah, good to see you too.

[soft music]

[workers speak faintly]

[Samantha gasps]

Oh, oh my God.

[Woman] She was not here yesterday.

Oh.

Here, here, let me give you a hand.

Thanks.

Feeling a little blue today?

Sorry, lame joke. [chuckling]

I was, uh, looking for room T-327,

but now there's paint all over me and the map.

Your shoe.

Oh no.

-Oh no, no, no, no, no. -Hold on, hold on, I got it.

All right.

[Samantha] Okay, thanks.

Okay, please come off.

Here, let me.

It's not a problem, I've cleaned up way worse today.

Trust me.

Slip it off, come on.

Okay.

Okay.

You know what?

Looks like I'm gonna have to call this one.

Time of death 10:57.

I cannot go to an interview with one blue shoe.

Why not?

It makes a statement.

Yeah, it says I'm a flake.

No, it says that you're an eccentric non-conformist.

Which I'm sure is totally

what they're looking for in a surgeon.

You're a surgeon?

Why, is that bad?

Uh, no, no, it's just, uh,

you don't really seem like a surgeon.

And what are surgeons like?

You know, God complex, jocks, always really busy.

Anyway, uh,

Room T-327 is straight down there to the left

and around the stairs.

Thank you.

Good luck, Doctor.

Samantha, it's just Samantha.

Oh wait a minute, no, no, no, no,

that's Isabelle from the bank.

How do I get the thing, I don't know where the--

-you don't know how to work-- -No, it's just gonna--

I think, phone, right there.

Oh.

Hey, Isabelle, you've got us both.

[Isabelle] Hi there, I've got good news.

You've been approved for your line of credit.

Yay.

Isabelle, thank you so much for expediting this.

-We-- -We really appreciate it.

[Isabelle] Not a problem; if you both sign the documents

and bring 'em into your branch today, we'll get you set up.

Perfecto; ciao ciao.

[squealing]

A healthy line of credit.

Now we can talk office furniture and supplies.

Mm hmm.

Oh whoa, whoa, whoa.

I wanna give you those documents

that Isabelle was talking about.

Right, and you've signed them already, right?

Yep, do you need a pen?

No, I got one.

[soft music]

Chicken?

Space case.

Are you okay?

Yeah, I'm fine.

You know, you're the worst liar ever.

[sighs]

Ethan, he um,

he gave that to me the night of the launch.

You're the one.

God, what is wrong with me?

I mean, every time that I think that I'm getting over him,

something happens that reminds me of him

and I just, I feel like I am starting

back at square one.

Well, maybe the universe is trying to tell you something.

Like what?

Well, think about it; you're miserable,

so clearly whatever you're doing to move on,

it's not working.

Well, okay, so, what are you saying?

That I should get back together with Ethan?

No, I'm saying that you should knock back

a Love Me Tender or two and expand your horizons.

Oh my God, what is he doing here?

-Who? -Ryan.

-Who's Ryan? -He's right there.

Hey.

[clears throat]

Wow, twice in one day.

Hey.

I came to apologize.

Oh, you know what, Ryan, you don't have to.

Yeah, I do; I mean, legs day, really, who says that?

Yeah.

So, these are the new digs, huh?

Yeah, yeah, it's great, right?

The new offices, they're right back there behind that wall.

Publish your next Pulitzer, grab a coffee; that's cool.

[imitates whooshing] Right?

[Ryan] What's the first title about?

Oh, you know, it's this incredible memoir

about growing up in a cult and how he escapes as an adult.

Oh, okay, so we get an insider view into his world,

and then his outsider view on ours.

Exactly, and, I mean, everything is new, right?

How money works, how to,

how to find a job, how to pay your rent.

Here's a thought, why don't, um,

why don't we grab dinner or something?

You know, just catch up.

-Yeah. -Great.

Yeah, that'd be great.

All right, so how about Brassai, 7:30?

Perfect, that sounds great.

I'll see you there.

[upbeat music]

[sighs]

[clears throat]

Oh.

[chuckling]

Okay, I'm, I'm confused.

And why is that?

Well, I,

I mean, having dinner with Ryan, it's as a friend.

I mean, that hardly merits a session.

Playing with fire.

Always with the drama, Rebecca.

Sorry, I don't believe you can be friends with an ex.

They're having dinner, not sleeping together.

Exactly.

Now that I would understand.

You still find him hot, don't you?

Don't lie, you wanna jump his bones.

I, personally, me, Erica,

I don't think there's anything wrong with it.

Thank you, Darryl, thank you.

-Well? -No comment.

Everyone participates, you know that.

Yes, but I don't think I can be helpful here, Dr. Tom.

-No, why's that? -Because.

Why does this even require a session?

I mean, people break up,

you move on, get back in the saddle.

Actually, it's not that easy.

Why not?

Like Rebecca said, just jump the guy's bones

and get it out of your system.

Please don't paraphrase me, Adam.

What you said made sense.

Look, no offense to anyone,

but I don't think that you get it.

Oh, I get it, Erica.

The last time I broke up with someone I cried for a month.

A one night stand's not gonna solve anything.

No, it's more than that, okay?

I mean, it's bigger than that.

It's...

Ethan, he was my best friend

and my boyfriend.

He was the person that I would talk to,

the person that understood me the best and--

He broke your heart.

No; no, I broke my own heart.

And his, so,

I just have to live with that.

I think, I really think that Adam is right here.

Yes, there is a time for introspection,

absolutely, but this isn't it.

I just need to focus on moving forward.

Well, perhaps I've called everyone in prematurely.

Really?

Yeah, yeah, sure, go ahead.

Okay.

-[whooshing] -[Ivan gasps]

You were just...

I just saw you go into the washroom.

Are you feeling okay?

What?

Yeah.

[jazz music]

[Ryan] I'm gonna have the salmon.

You don't eat salmon.

I don't eat farmed salmon.

This is wild salmon, so I'm okay.

Ordering dinner with Ryan, always an adventure.

Oh, come on, it's not that bad.

Oh really?

Any questions about the menu?

Actually, yes.

It says here that the salmon, it comes with a honey glaze.

Now would that be more of a buckwheat honey

or a clover honey?

Is there a difference?

Well, the buckwheat has more of an intense,

full-bodied flavor, whereas the clover is lighter.

[Waiter] I did not know that.

Most people don't.

-I'll find out. -Okay, thank you.

[jazz music]

[Erica] So, you're gonna [speaking faintly].

-[speaking faintly] -[jazz music]

It's really nice to see you, Ryan.

We should do this again.

Yeah.

Oh, but it's gonna have to wait because

I'm heading off to Bogota in a couple of days.

Wow, is that work or pleasure?

Work, no time for vacations these days.

Plus, you know, when you're single,

it's just not as appealing.

Mm.

What about you?

You got any big trips planned?

Nope, nothin', just work and more work, just like you.

You enjoy being single?

It's got a certain freedom to it.

Uh, yeah, but I wouldn't say

that enjoying it is the right word.

You mind if I ask what happened there?

I don't know, it just,

it just didn't work out.

Is Ethan back in Montreal?

He's actually crashing on a friend's couch.

Couch?

How long has it been?

A few weeks.

Oh, sorry.

Thanks.

Yeah, it was rough, but I'm moving on.

Well, it's good that you can, so soon.

[people talking faintly]

Well, Ryan, it was really good to see you.

Yeah, let me hail you a cab. [whistles]

Hey, like, can I ask, did I do something wrong?

No.

Really?

You didn't do anything.

I just think this was a mistake for both of us.

Okay, look, I don't read minds, what's going on?

You just broke up with Ethan, and now you're here with me.

Yeah, we're, you know, we're having dinner as friends.

I'm not your friend, I'm a distraction.

Oh my God, Ryan, you're not, I just, I wanted to catch up.

You wanted to feel wanted.

Ryan, I'm,

I'm a little lost right now.

And, uh, I'm sorry.

It's okay.

It was really good to see you.

I just, I don't think that you're ready for this

and neither am I.

[Ryan whistles for a cab]

[melancholy music]

Thank you, but you know what?

Go ahead and take it, I'm gonna walk.

Good night.

[soft music]

Thank you, keep the change.

Michael, hi.

Hey.

What, are you here to see Ethan?

-Yeah, is he here? -Erica, come on.

Ethan doesn't wanna see you, you know that.

I know that he's upset and he needs his space,

but I just, I really need to talk to him.

Are you listening to what I'm saying?

Ethan, he has been my best friend for over a decade

and this silence that is between us, it's not working.

Yeah, for you.

Guess what, Erica?

It's not about you, all right?

It's about him, because right now, he's in hell.

And you put him there.

Look, Michael, I didn't--

Just leave him alone, all right?

That's what he needs.

[sighs]

-[soft music] -[clock ticking]

[sighs]

[upbeat music]

Erica, wow, 11 p.m. workout, that's dedicated.

Is it too late for a juice?

I can open back up for ya.

You couldn't sleep, huh?

How did you know?

Well, when you work here long enough,

you tend to figure these things out.

Ah, it's just,

it's like my brain won't stop, you know, it's

the same thoughts over and over and...

Yeah, I've been there.

Hmm.

Do you have a juice for that?

Something like, what is it, uh, ginkgo biloba?

-Ginkgo's for memory. -Oh, right.

And what it sounds like you really need

is to get out of your brain and into your body.

Hmm.

Well then I guess I came to the right place.

Yeah, yeah, I guess you did.

Sorry.

Mm, yeah.

[acoustic guitar music]

Well, I uh, I didn't think

that it could get more awkward than that, but

apparently it can.

What's going on, Erica?

I don't know, I don't even recognize myself.

Because of what just happened with the juice guy?

No, because of everything, you know?

I just feel like I'm spinning out of control

and I'm trying everything I can think of.

-You went to see Ethan. -Yeah.

-Which was stupid. -So, why'd you do it?

I don't even know.

I just thought that if I could somehow get closure

then maybe I could move on.

And what kind of closure were you looking for?

I just feel like I'm running around in circles and,

oh, I don't why it's not getting better.

You know, it's like the more I fight it, the worse it gets.

What if I made a mistake?

Do you think that you did?

I was so sure that breaking up with Ethan,

it was the right thing to do, but now...

You guys, I know that I sound crazy, even to myself, but...

And you're all, you're trying to give me advice,

but it's like no one actually understands me.

Well, I can think of one person who might.

Oh yeah, who?

No wait, where am I going?

Oh, and you think that Claire will?

Well, you both loved Ethan

and you both realized that it wasn't enough.

Do I really have to explain to you

that they haven't even broken up yet?

Okay, not to mention the fact that Claire,

she hates my guts.

And I'm sorry, but my relationship with Ethan,

it ended under very different circumstances, okay?

Because I didn't cheat on him.

So this isn't the same at all.

No?

No, so what is the point of this?

I know that we didn't get off to the best start tonight,

but I just want us to have a good time, so,

let's just put any bad feelings we had behind us

and try to really enjoy ourselves, okay?

Erica, do you really think that throwing me a party

to make Ethan happy is gonna magically erase

all the years of tension we have between us?

-Come on, girls, woo! -You know, if you wanna

have a good time tonight, try not to be fake for once.

Okay, it's time for a game.

Let's play I Never. [shrieks excitedly]

Oh, but did you tell him that, you know,

you're safe with the drag queens?

Are you kidding?

That would just stress him out even more.

You know, he wouldn't last five mines in here.

Claire, this is outside of my comfort zone.

He likes things familiar.

You know, the truth is

But then whenever we break up I just couldn't handle it.

And it's like people break up all the time,

-but when it happens to you-- -Oh, I know, it's agony.

Yeah, yeah, and it's like,

if this relationship isn't right for me,

then why is breaking up so painful?

And here you are.

Here I am.

But I think I've figured it out.

Relationships are hard and they need work.

[Claire sighs]

Thank you for doing this tonight, I had a really good time.

[chuckling]

You're welcome.

[dramatic music]

♪ Then you got caught

[door bangs]

Oh.

[acoustic guitar music]

You know,

10 years ago, in Claire's shoes,

I might have made the same mistake:

marrying the wrong person out of fear.

And what is it that you think Claire was afraid of?

Pain.

How much it hurt to be without him.

I mean, breaking up with someone that you love,

even if it is for the right reasons,

is so incredibly hard.

You know, it was painful enough

to make me reconsider my decision.

Which is crazy, because I know

that we're not right together.

Now you see, Claire thought that by marrying Ethan,

she could avoid the pain.

Of course, all she ended up doing was delaying it.

I mean, she suffered through years of marriage

and a difficult divorce,

rather than do the one thing that she should have done.

The one thing that you have to do.

Which is?

Nothing.

[Erica scoffs]

What?

Oh, come on, I'm running around like a crazy woman.

I mean, I'm crank-calling Ethan, I'm seducing juice guys,

and all I had to do was nothing?

I mean, come on, that sounds a little bit easy.

No, Erica, it's not easy at all.

No, you hurt.

And you hurt, and you live with it, and you sit in it,

and you suffer until it stops.

Until time takes it away.

[soft music]

Good night.

Good night.

[sighs]

[Samantha] Mom?

Guess who just called?

No, did they?

I got the job.

Oh, sweetheart, that's fantastic.

Mom.

Mom, ow.

You're squeezing me.

What's wrong?

Nothing, honey.

-Mom, what is it? -I...

It's just...

Oh.

Norm and I broke up.

What?

Oh, Mom, I'm so sorry, I thought things were going so well.

Yeah, so did I.

I'll be okay, go to the hospital and don't worry about me.

I am worried about you, Mom.

We'll talk about it later, okay?

Really, I'm fine.

-Really? -Really.

-[Samantha tuts] -[soft music]

Hey.

Oh, hey, Doctor, Samantha.

[laughing]

-Are you lost again? -No.

I just wanted to come and say thank you

for being so helpful yesterday.

Yeah, any time, any time.

Well, good, um, 'cause I am horrible with directions

and I've mastered this hallway, but it's a big hospital.

Oh, wait, does that mean you got the job?

-I did. -Congratulations.

Thank you.

So, I guess that means I'll be seeing a lot more of you.

Yeah, you will; I didn't get your name.

Lenin.

Communist parents.

Hey, at least it wasn't Stalin.

Whoa, whoa.

You know, if this surgeon thing doesn't work out?

-Stand-up comedian. -Right, okay.

Well, until next time, I guess.

See you later.
