Hey, babe. How was your
meeting with your boss?

It was interesting.

Lot of, uh, interesting stuff going on.

Interesting is good, right?

Yeah, no, definitely.

Uh, you know, my department
underwent a redundancy audit,

and my position was
reclassified as nonessential.

Nonessential? Meaning?

Meaning they don't need me to do it.

Dave, were you fired?

No, not fired per se.

My role was just streamlined.

But you still have a role.

DAVE: Not a role per se.

(MARTY GRUMBLING)

Hey, Marty. How'd the zoning
meeting go? Did we get our permits?

(BABBLING ANGRILY)

Okay, uh, uh, what?

I'm sorry, Dad. I...

I was so angry I started
grinding my teeth,

so I had to put in my bite guard.

- So, what happened?
- Nothing.

Nothing happened.

So we're still on schedule to open

the new Fusebox at
the first of the year.

Oh, definitely. Just,
I don't know what year.

Not this year, not next year,

probably not the year after that.

Marty, Marty, I get it.

Okay? What's the big holdup?

Well, we can't install the panels

until Building and Safety sign off,

which... that can't happen

until DWP okays the new transformers,

which we can't even apply
for until Planning says

we've satisfied our
Title 24 requirements. Ah!

Oh, okay, Marty, Marty.

Lose the bite guard.
Hey, gnaw on some jerky.

(SIGHS): All right, man.

Well, we can't keep going on like this.

We're spending a fortune
in rent over there.

And trust me, take it from me,
an experienced businessman...

the best way to make money is to open.

Write that down.

Yeah, I-I think I'll remember that.

But, Dad, I met with
three different guys today,

and I got nothing but red tape.

Well, did you do the dance?

What-what is the dance?

The schmooze dance, Marty.

You got to schmooze them.

It's all about relationships.

You become buddies with these guys,

and then they'll give you what you need.

Dad, I don't think
that's how that works.

(SCOFFS) Really? Well,
back at the Pit Stop,

the city sent in a guy, Jerome.

Jerome says that we need fire
sprinklers in the ceiling.

Well, the next thing you know,

me and old Jerome, we playing golf.

He forgot all about those sprinklers.

And then you had a fire.

Give me my jerky.

- Hey, guys.
- MALCOLM: Hey.

Thank God. (CHUCKLES)

Daphne, your parents are here.

Yeah. (LAUGHS)

She needs a bath, a new
diaper and a new attitude.

- Go to your mama, girl.
- Come here, baby.

Calvin, Gemma just called.

She thinks Dave got fired.

What do you mean, "thinks"?

I don't know. She says she's not sure.

How can she not be sure?

Hey, less talking, more walking.

- Come on.
- Okay.

Malcolm, thank you so
much for helping us out.

I promise, we're trying to
find a nanny, but it's so hard.

Well, you'd better hurry,
'cause I can't do this anymore.

The only time I was able
to get any writing done

was the three hours
she was watching Bluey.

I'm sorry, three hours of Bluey?

Yeah, mm-hmm.

I told you a half hour is the limit.

Any more than that, and
she gets overstimulated

and starts flipping out.

Oh.

Is that why she was punching
Uncle Malcolm in the face?

(LAUGHING)

Oh, my God. Dave, are you okay?

I'm fine. Are you okay?

(MOUTHING)

Dave, did you get fired?

Me? (CHUCKLES) No.

Uh, my job has just been reclassified.

Okay, will you be doing the job?

Me? No.

Uh, technically, it'll be done by A.I.

Okay. Well, are you still getting paid?

Me? (CHUCKLES) No.

Come on, Dave. I'm your boy, now.

Come on. Tell me what happened.

Look, it's fine. It's nothing.

Look, it's just some reshuffling,

some rightsizing.

David?

(SIGHS)

They fired my ass.

Aw.

Oh. Oh, oh, oh.

How could I have been so naive, Gemma?

I spent months training a computer

to do my job at the V.A.

I basically gave them
an A.I. version of me.

And I was proud of it.

Don't beat yourself up, Dave.

You're right.

You should beat me up.

I let you down. Beat me up, Gemma.

One free shot. No face.

Okay, no.

I'm not gonna beat you up, Dave.

You're going through a lot of emotions,

and they're all a little scary.

But don't be angry at yourself.

Be angry at your bosses.

You're right. You know what?

Screw them.

I've always been a
company man, but no more.

They are gonna regret
treating me like this.

I'm gonna go over there, and I'm gonna

burn that building to the ground.

Please don't do that.

Okay. Okay, fine.

But you know what?

I am going to send a few scathing memes

Dad. A car just pulled up.

It's got to be the
inspector. It is grind time.

Okay. No, Marty.

You won't need your bite guard, okay?

Just watch me work my
magic with this guy.

Let me do all the talking.

Okay. Great. Uh, I'll
just agree with you.

Okay, no, no, no. Uh,
agreeing is talking.

You can nod, but a very gentle nod.

Okay? Did you get the Danishes?

Yeah. They're in the car.
What... Why do we need them?

Danishes are a part of the dance, Marty.

Let me give you a
little piece of wisdom.

You catch more flies with Danishes.

Write that down.

One time, I got stopped

for doing 60 miles an hour in a 30 zone.

Gave the cop a Danish,
walked away with a warning.

- 60 in a 30?
- Yeah.

Do you think you're the
hero in these stories?

Go on, now.

Go.

Hello.

- Oh, oh.

Oh, hello. That's me.

I'm Inspector Rigby.

Oh, okay. My man.

Big Rig.

(CALVIN LAUGHS)

So, no?

Well, uh, you know,

I've been through my
fair share of inspections,

and I think you'll be very
pleased with what you see.

I take no pleasure either way.

Okay. Can I get you a latte?

You shouldn't be serving
coffee. You don't have a sink.

That's a health code violation.

Oh, I'm not serving coffee.

- I just have coffee.
- You'll need to apply for

a food handler's license.

It takes about six weeks.

No. No, no. No, no, no,

I told you kids I am not buying
Danishes for your marching band.

Hey, Dave.

I'm glad you're not raging anymore.

No, now I'm doom-scrolling stories

It is a voracious parasite

eating our civilization
from the inside out, Gemma.

Okay, Dave, put down your phone.

Okay, go... go watch a movie.

That's a good idea.

I'll go watch Terminator,

you could use some help.

Uh, who's talking to me?

I'm your virtual counselor.

Welcome to the V.A. Wellness Portal.

Let's get started.
Who am I speaking with?

Gemma.

Gemma Paddington.

It's a pleasure to meet
you, Gemma Paddington.

You sound anxious.

(SCOFFS) You noticed, huh?

Would you like to talk about it?

I don't normally talk to computers.

No offense.

I'm just gonna go get a

but Daphne is 15 months

I didn't want to say anything,

I just don't have a water

Oh, that was a new friend of mine.

His name is Dan.

He's an expediter.

I write him a check, he cuts through

- Oh.

Got his name from my old buddy Jerome.

See how this works?

It's all about making
friends, doing the dance.

Oh. Yeah.

Oh, so more Danishes.

Marty, you're gonna have to

Oh, uh, what's the major?

Sociology.

what I'm hearing from you is

you're reaching out to Dave,

Gosh, you are really good at listening.

Thank you. If you'd like,

I can also change my
background to something

you might find a little more relaxing.

Mm. Italian countryside.

Ooh. No, no, no. Tropical island.

As you wish.

Let's get back to our conversation.

You said your husband put up a wall?

Wow, you have a great memory.

Please continue.

It's just, I've tried telling Dave

how great he is, that he's being silly,

that that place never deserved him.

I don't know what else to say.

Have you considered that
maybe you're saying too much?

Ooh, that hurts a little.

Try to be present.

Remember, Gemma Paddington,

Dave is feeling grief right now.

Give him room to mourn.

You can't duct-tape a
rainbow over a storm cloud.

Just let the rain do its thing.

That's actually kind of profound.

You are really great.

I am so glad I met you.

I'm glad I met you, Gemma Paddington.

You're a kind and patient individual.

with a computer program?

You're experiencing transference, Gemma.

It's natural. Unfortunately,
I'm already in a relationship.

a really impressive place.
