I thought you were going to get that job.

Well, I did too, Ruth. I did too. But everything happens for a reason, you

Give him a shot.

If you see a stranger sitting next to you, I ask you to turn to them. Maybe it

would expand our connection with them.

When we don't feel fear, when we don't feel judgment, we simply feel love.

And that is pretty amazing.

But you don't want to call it love.

You only want to be the one that I call baby.

Because I'm big boy. I've never really thought about life like this.

What that new rabbi said about forgiveness was wonderful, you know. And

at Lila Nova in such a new light.

Maybe she isn't a bitch after all.

I'm glad you found the sermon moving.

It was more than that.

It was transcendent.

I can take it from here.

Oh, yeah?

Okay.

Noah. Hi. My darling.

All I can say is I was not very impressed with that man.

And as far as I'm concerned, he's a thief because he sold a job that belongs

you. And that sermon, it spoke to me. At least wait till I'm gone.

Lenny. No, no, no. I mean, like, you know, like, it's easy for things to

to me.

I know. I'm just kidding. It was great. I was there.

See you at the game tomorrow.

Darling, why did you write on the family chat that you're not coming to Shabbat?

Because I'm not coming.

Is that a joke? I don't understand your sense of humor. It's not a joke, Mom.

You've made it very clear that Joanne isn't invited, and so I will be spending

Shabbat with her.

That's ridiculous.

Shabbat is for family.

Bina Yelena Rockloff.

Was your facialist family?

Bonnie came one time. One time? Listen, Joanne is my girlfriend, whom I love.

If she's not there, I'm not there.

I would have welcomed her with open arms if she had not caused my son his

career. Oh, you liked her before?

Yes. Oh.

But after the most recent events, I cannot even fathom being in the same

with her.

Okay. Thank you for not piling on.

I can always count on you.

I'm telling you, give me this guy's full name and birthday, and I'll find

something good enough to ruin him, okay? No.

Yeah. Morgan, I know that comes from a good place. Thank you, but just no.

well, if we can't investigate him, and we can't go to his sermons and boo him,

what can we do? Just change the subject.

Okay. So, Morgan, you're coming to the basketball game because it's fun.

Yes. It seems off.

Why is that so hard to believe?

You love basketball?

God, they're so cynical.

You should have used a much more believable excuse, Morgan, like court

community service or something. Yeah, so it's a scheme. I can appreciate a

scheme. What's a scheme?

Okay, so my therapist says that every time I go on a date, it's just like a

of collecting data, all right? So I went on a date with Lenny.

He wasn't into me, which is like insane.

No, that wasn't a date. That was a setup in a group setting.

I am very bummed you guys didn't hit it off, though. It's not good for my

matchmaking. So I'm going to use Lenny to collect data on me, okay? So I'm

to ask him why he didn't like me.

Has this given you like a gay vibe?

No, not at all. Sorry. Well, it doesn't matter. This is a terrible idea.

God, what an asshole.

Oh, my God. He could have killed them.

You know what?

We should go find him, okay? People need to know how awful they are, yeah? Yeah.

Oh, no, no, no, no. They know. They know. No, Noah, they don't, okay? And

somebody needs to tell them. It's, like, pretty much our civic duty. I mean, I

consider it, like, a higher calling. Listen, sometimes something happens, and

you have to just observe it, and then you accept it, and you try and move on.

I'm sorry. That seems way less fun.

Yeah. Life is for the living.

Moving on.

I'm such a rabbi sometimes.

Yuck.

You want to invite people over for Shabbat this week?

Sure. Although you didn't go to your parents last night.

You don't think we should make an appearance there?

I don't think now's the perfect time.

Ah. Beautiful.

Your mom can't be taking the job thing very well.

She isn't.

You know, you'd think it was happening to her.

Let me guess.

She blames me?

It doesn't matter.

I think I need to just talk to her directly.

Ah, no, no, no, no. Listen, in this case, I think your conversation would

things worse. Just promise me you won't talk to her.

Okay. I gotta say. Thank you. Farmer's markets are annoying.

You know, all this small talk about how good the fruit is. You know, we're not

farmer's market people. We're DoorDash people.

Do you have any butter?

It's just quite dry.

Hey. You look hot, by the way.

Thank you.

Oh, my God.

What?

Oh, my God. What?

You are horny right now.

No. No. It's really not. You are.

No, I can feel it. Where are you at right now?

I'm, like, at, like, what is that, like, a zero?

You were an eight over at Noah's the other night when we found some music,

soft, slow jazz. Oh, now I'm at a negative four.

Yeah, it was the smooth jazz.

Wow, that's a big drop.

Okay.

I'll just have to come back later.

I don't know what to do with turnips, but I'll figure it out. What do you do?

Oh, perfect.

That asshole even took up two spots. Oh, God, he's not going to get away with

this. Do your thing, girl.

What are you doing?

Ouch.

What did you just do?

Just did.

Street justice?

That's not a... What?

It's not a thing. Yes, it is. You just witnessed it.

Have you ever done anything like that?

I... We need to get out of here. Street justice in Brentwood?

I feel like you're judging me. Don't say that you're not.

I am judging you.

Okay.

Okay. Wait, ladies.

Come to the tree.

No, can't. Sorry.

What's happening? This is weird.

This is what we do before a game. We take whatever's bothering us or

preoccupying us, and we leave it at the tree.

I just left my judginess at the tree.

Oh, that works fast.

Would you like to leave anything at the tree? I don't believe in suppressing

things. I believe in expressing them. It's not suppressing. It's transferring.

It is also really healthy to confront things head on, you know? Like, why

you use your anger and frustration?

Okay, fine. Look, I was letting you in on a tradition that has won us many

championships, but, you know, feel free not to use it. Just don't tell me how I

have to use it. Okay,

I will touch the tree. I'll see if anything transfers, okay? That's going

make you happy.

Treatise gave me an idea.

Treatise didn't do that. It just did.

I won't confront your mom, but at least let me write her an email.

I famously write great emails.

If I can bet it.

You want to waste your time.

Okay, I just have to fix this.

Okay, let me think.

God, I love it when you get into email moods. Please don't talk, okay? Right.

Sorry. You laser focus.

It's not coming.

Yeah. Because you're really relaxed. You know, your best work always happens

when you're, like, really angry. I just tried to explain that to Noah.

God, I still quote that email you sent Rachel Cook.

The truth is, Rachel, he's never mentioned you at all.

Chills.

I think it ruined her life.

That email deserves to be in a museum.

Okay, what about this?

Hey, Bina, it's Joanne.

It has come to my attention that you hold some opinions about me. It's a

terrible email. Oh, my God. How does she do everything? Your approach is all

wrong. That's what it is.

You need to treat her kind of like a mob boss, right? You got to shower her with

compliments, pay her the utmost respect.

I don't know if I can do compliments.

Let me take a crack at it. I speak Bina.

Okay. God, she is not your biggest fan right now, huh? Yeah. I thought I

couldn't get worse.

That's what's crazy. Can you just write the email?

Worse.

Oh, shit. Oh, shit. Oh, shit.

Oh, shit.

What is she doing here? I don't know, but it can't be good.

I know that much.

She's surreal.

How do you know that? I don't want to be part of it. Hi, Mom. Hi, son. Hi.

What is going on?

My darling, I just wanted to spend time with my sunny son.

Yeah? Yeah. At basketball?

I'll take what I can get. You're not coming to my house, so I'm coming to

wherever you are.

Is that a curse?

No, of course not.

Sounds like one.

Have a good game.

I don't think she saw us. Oh, she definitely saw us. Yeah, but you didn't

actually see her see us. Yeah, how do you know? She sees everything. She saw

Okay, whatever you do, do not look over at her.

What? What?

What? It's your fault. You knew if you said it, I would do it.

Okay, what's she doing right now?

Oh, no, no. She's coming. You're not going to let her. You're not going to

her. You're not going to be hurt.

Hello, girls.

Hi. You enjoying the game?

Yeah.

Joanne, may I have a word with you, please?

Me? Yeah, yeah.

We need to catch up.

Bye, Joanne. Have so much fun. How are you doing?

I can't. My phone's dead.

Mine's working. I'm not going to call.

Hello, Joanne.

Hello, Bina. Oh, as it happens, I was just writing an email to you, if I may.

Dearest Bina, I know you are a very strong woman, and I admire that about

Noah has told me of your struggles and your... Stop, please. I don't want to be

read to. I'm not some five -year -old.

Okay. Well, I was going to start with something more cutting anyway.

Let me get right to the point.

Because of you, my son's career is ruined.

Okay, we're getting right into it. Because of you, he now refuses to come

Shabbat dinner.

I never told him he couldn't go to Shabbat dinner. Well, apparently he

anywhere where you are not included.

So you're admitting it, that you're not including me? I admit that you have

cocooned my son away from his family and you have done a number on him.

I may not be what you envisioned for Noah.

But mothers have been hating their son's girlfriends since the beginning of

time. And they usually just keep it to themselves or they complain about it to

their husband. So if something is getting in between you and Noah, it's

it's you.

You can go back to your bleacher now.

Yeah, I know. I can go back to my bleacher.

You got it.

You got it. You got it.

Hey, loser.

Oh, what's up, loser?

Is that a pet name? Is it an inside joke? Listen, I never agreed to him

me a loser, so you guys, like, figure it out yourselves.

I could call you a loser.

Me too, but that'd be a little weird, you loser.

Yeah, it doesn't work for me. It's really more your guy's thing.

It's just the fact that there ever even was a thing.

It makes me sad.

Hey, let's get out of here.

It's the middle of the game.

Yeah, I know. The game's not important. I want to take you somewhere. Because

you're 18 points behind? No, no. Don't look over there. Just come with me.

Sorry. What do you want from me?

I'm just asking you a simple question, okay?

Why didn't you want my phone number?

Uh, I've just been really busy with work lately.

All right.

Yeah, I'm like there's this ex I've been texting with. Oh my God.

Will you just tell me the truth, okay? I'm asking you to like level with me,

right? Feedback is a gift, so lay it on.

Okay. I mean, you're obviously hot.

Thank you. I know.

And I can tell you can be funny. Yeah. I mean, not my sense of humor, but I can

tell girls really like it.

Cool. It's just, um, you're a little severe.

Severe? Okay.

Okay, maybe I am. So is that such a bad thing? I mean, that's just, like, you

know, edgy.

Yeah. Look, you're probably one of those people who says they want to be in a

relationship when really they don't. And, you know, to be with someone, you

to, like, make space for them. And some people just, like, don't have the

ability to do that.

And you got all this from one conversation at a dinner party?

Well, you didn't ask me one question the other night.

I... Not even, like, what my name was.

Yeah, well...

Names are very personal, so... Yeah, no, totally. I just, like, I think you're

really nice. It's just not my vibe.

Okay. I kind of, like... I want to be with, like, a real person.

Okay.

Yeah, that's... I know. Thank you.

I've never seen anything like it.

What did I do? You are boycotting Shabbat dinner because of me, but you

even tell me that I could give you the... I honestly thought it would make

everything worse.

Did you make any progress with that conversation?

I want to be honest with you.

I did not.

Okay.

Well, I just want you to get along, you know? My perfect world, we're all at

Shabbat together.

Me too.

Sorry, I smell so good.

Oh, I... I saw you.

Yeah, I know that you saw me.

You can come out.

Okay.

You're not going to wash your hands?

Yeah, yeah, I was literally about to. Okay, gone.

You're upset.

No, I'm not upset, okay? I just had something in my eye, so... Yeah, I can

that you're upset.

I'm not upset.

I am not upset.

Okay, I was upset.

What happened?

Wait.

Sorry, why are you being so nice to me? It's, like, scary.

Look.

I'm having a bad day, so it's made me very open -hearted.

Go figure.

What happened?

I don't know, just something some guy said.

You know, Morgan, I don't like you, but I respect you.

You respect me?

Yes, well, a little. I admire that you don't give a shit about what other

think. Me, I care what people think.

Okay, well, don't tell Joanne this, but I think you're very chic.

Thank you. I am.

Now, if you were hurt by what that person said, I doubt it is because they

these things are true.

It is because you think these things are true.

Wow. Bina, chills.

Thank you.

You know, Joanne tried to end it with Noah so that he could get that job.

What? But he, like, ran after her in a very dramatic way and wouldn't let her.

So it's not her fault.

Listen, um, if I'm being, like, really honest, I would love to have what they

have.

God,

you're so easy to open up to.

Can I borrow your lip liner?

No. It's fair.

Yeah. Well, that's that.

See ya.

Okay, good call.

Yeah. Remember how much time we spent here?

Yeah, I do.

Hey, guys, do me a favor and just give us some space here.

Oh, just this table has, like, sentimental value for us. Yeah, honey,

need to explain ourselves to them.

Just feed it.

Please?

Honey.

Fifteen. We were here first, loser.

You're a loser.

Okay,

fighting with a teammate.

Yeah, that guy's immature.

Hey, you want a gummy?

More than anything.

They're not the kind that make you speedy.

These are the ones that make you happy.

Happy lives?

Marriage is hard.

Yeah.

So you like her now?

Yeah. I can't lie. I really do.

I have never hated you more than I do in this moment. I know.

What do you like about her?

I don't know. She's just so small and, like, wise. Like, I don't know. She

actually seems really nice, though.

She and I just connect, you know?

Oh, but guess what?

What, Morgan? I told her that you walked away from Noah.

So she knows now.

Oh, my God.

I get to be the bigger person and win the fight because she had bad info on

You're welcome.

Oh, wow. That makes me feel so alive.

I kind of feel like I could extend an olive branch now.

Where are you taking me?

A little bit of trust in me, okay?

Oh, hey.

Noah. Hey.

Hey, gang.

What's going on?

I don't know. This woman is so erratic.

Now that some pertinent information has come to light that exonerates me, I'm

ready to move on. And I thought we could do the ancient and beautiful Jewish

tradition of leaving it at the tree.

So, Bina, if you want to...

What is she talking about? Joe.

It's not a Jewish thing. It's just a TM tradition.

Shaq did it.

Hmm.

Okay. Well, I mean, it doesn't work anyway, so... Yes, it does.

Does it? Yeah. For a guy who left it all at the tree, you are not playing very

well.

Okay, well, you know, the tree's not perfect.

Sometimes you still have stuff on your mind. Yeah, so let it out. No.

I don't need to.

You sure?

Is it about Big Noah?

No. No. Nope. Sure? Yeah.

He's perfectly fine.

Hmm.

Not because they call him Big Noah? Because that would really... Okay, okay,

fine. Yes.

Yes, I hate Big Noah, okay?

I fucking hate that they call him Big Noah. What?

And I really hate...

That his sermon was not only good, but it stayed with me.

And I hate how jealous I've become.

You know, I worked my entire life for that job. And the fact that it's now

it literally makes me sick.

I'm sorry you had to hear that.

I'm so glad you finally said that out loud.

Yeah? Yeah.

My bad person?

No.

You're just a person.

Yeah.

Okay, I give up.

Joanne, why don't you come to Shabbat dinner?

Really?

Yes. And now I'm going before I change my mind.

Oh, my God, it's the tree.

Oh, no.

That was all you.

God.

It felt really good to get all that out. Didn't it?

Yeah. Yeah.

Think anyone heard me?

I actually... Oh, yeah. Go. Go get him.

I hate it when you're mad at me. I'm not even mad at you. I'm... If anything,

I'm upset, you know, about the distance between us. Morgan was just a friend.

We were just friends.

And then we weren't.

You know?

We're still the same people who fell in love at this table.

Yeah.

Hey.

We can do this.

I know we can.

Let's try it.

God, it's so much easier to have hope when that company's about to kick in.

Especially when you've had two.

Okay.

Thank you for walking me to my car, Benny.

Anytime.

You okay?

I'm good.

Hey,

look at that.

Those two are really tied together, huh?

And I have scissors.

Are you ready for it?

I see how this is gonna go touch me and you'll never be alone
