CHRISTINE:
Get out there. Hit up a bar.

Get yourself on a dating app.

TORI:
I'm doing the90210 reboot,

and what I want is you
to be a part of our show.

BRIAN:
So I think I'm gonna hire
that Zach kid.

He seems, uh, pretty sharp.

What do you actually
know about him?

Tori said that you might
be needing my help.

Spelling? I don't know
how you pulled this off,

but I'm impressed.

Well, maybe because
I'm a good producer.

CHRISTINE:
Getting the script together

for this read-through
has been a nightmare.

Oh, simple things
can be so complicated.

We start shooting in three days.

And this whole show
is on the brink of imploding

before we even film it.

And the PR blitz
has already started.

Can we stop talking about work
and talk about something more,

I don't know, personal?

What's more personal than work?

Tell me what your dream vacation
would be.

I don't do vacations.

Oh, God. Oh...

I'm sorry. I-I'm so awkward.

[stammers] I-I actually Googled
"good first date questions,"

-and I...
-First date?

Oh, you thought...
[sighs]

-Oh, God, I'm so embarrassed.
-Don't be.

It's my fault.
I pinged you on a dating app

and didn't make it clear
I was meeting you as a friend.

-No, you know what?
I-I really... I got to go. I...
-No. Stop, stop.

-Don't go, don't go. Just sit.
-No, I just... I don't want
to ever remember this.

-No, it's not...
-We can ignore each other.
We can just be

on social media together
like normal friends do. [gasps]

Look, look.

The cast photo.

GABRIELLE:
Wow. What?

We have so much traffic.

Some of your castmates are
brilliant social media whores.

You could learn from them.

Wow. So many levels there.

The public's response
to this show is overwhelming.

You know what would be
even better?

If we actually had a show.

BRIAN: Yeah, these comments are crazy.

These people are really nice.

They're-they're, uh...
they're horny

-but-but nice.
-Mm-hmm.

Look at this.
"Daddy Silver got it going on."

"B.A.G. is H-O-T."

No freaking way.

-Wait, you don't think I'm hot?
-Babe, I think you're hot,

but I got a situation here.

Somebody just leaked
one of my songs,

-and my fans are trashing it.
-What? How'd that happen?

-I don't know,
but this is a disaster.
-[phone chimes]

Oh, now my publicist
is hitting me up.

The song wasn't even ready
to be released.

-It's not even mixed yet.
-You know what, baby?

I'm sure it's better
than you think it is.

This is all anybody's gonna be
talking about on this tour.

Who could've leaked it?

I don't know.

I keep everything
in the home studio.

It's got to be somebody
that works in the house.

Maybe ask your stylist.

Joanna, I-I think her name is.

I saw her in the studio
kind of late last night.

Maybe she saw something.

[machine whirring]

KYLER:
Why does the press release say,

"Jennie Garth's daughter
will costar"?

Uh, maybe because
you're my daughter?

Mm, maybe they could've
used my actual name?

Now I got, like, 20 DMs saying

you're the only reason
I got the role.

That is why I told you
social media is dangerous.

You say everything
can be dangerous.

Well, that's because everything
is dangerous. Tell her, Wyatt.

I'm not getting in the middle
of a family dispute.

So neutral. Interesting.

KYLER:
I mean, it just sucks.

You know? People are
so excited about the show,

and I got a bull's-eye
on my back.

Babe, if you want to be
an actress, I told you,

haters are part of the gig.

All right, here you go.

-Where'd you learn to do that?
-I played

a down-on-her-luck barista
who falls in love

with a dashing duke in a
Lifetime movie, A Latte of Love.

[laughs]
That sounds amazing.

Can I stream it?

Oh, God, I hope not.

[thudding, clattering]

Just looks like the gutter
came loose. No big deal.

I'll clean it up
before I get reassigned.

Reassigned?

Well, there haven't been
any new stalker threats,

so Fox wants to move me.

I heard there are
some issues on Empire.

Oh.

JENNIE [sighs]:
I hope this is

the right thing to do,
making Kyler audition.

I mean,
I already gave her the part.

It's just a formality.

It's the only way
she's gonna get past

all the nasty comments online.

I know. They were brutal.
Did you read them?

Uh, yeah. Really bad.

I get it.
I mean, I've been dealing

with 30 years of nepotism.

The only way that she is gonna
build her self-confidence

-is to earn the part.
-Like you did

when you auditioned
under a fake name for your dad.

-Dori Snelling.
I fooled them all.
-[chuckles]

Yeah, you did.

CASTING DIRECTOR:
Come on in, Kyler.

-Oh.
-Come on in.

Whenever you're ready, Kyler.

Um...
[clears throat]

Mom, dances at West Beverly
are hell for me.

[clears throat]
Um... I don't want

to be the Spring Princess,
and I-I wish you could see that.

Okay.

Thank you so much.

-Great job, Ky.
-Mm.

Good job, babe.

CASTING DIRECTOR:
One more to see.

Uh...

Okay, whenever
you're ready, Tilda.

[exhales]

Mom...

...dances at West Beverly
are hell for me.

I don't want to be
the Spring Princess.

I wish you could see that.

I wish that, for once,
you could just see me.

Thank you so much, Tilda.

Oh, no.

-[whispers]: She was
really good.
-Right?

-TORI: What do we do?
-I don't know.

I don't know.
I-I already gave Kyler the role.

Mm. You gave her
arole in the show.

I mean, I auditioned for Kelly.

Imagine if I had
gotten the role.

Oof. Disaster.

Okay. Let's not go overboard.

I'm just saying,
you got the part of Kelly

because you were
supposed to be Kelly.

Maybe Kyler is a Donna.

[exhales]
You did so great in there.

-Yeah?
-I was really proud of you.

Thanks. I was nervous.

Uh, look, I don't...
I don't know how to say this,

um, but there was another girl

who sort of fit the part
in a way we didn't expect.

Wait, Mom, are you trying to say
that I didn't get the role?

No. We just think
that you would be better

to play Donna's daughter.

So, all my scenes
would be with Aunt Tori?

Yeah.

That's actually so much better.

I mean, like,
let's face it, Mom.

Working with Aunt Tori
is gonna be so much easier

than working with you.

-Oh, good.
-Mom.

ANNA:
This is not working for me. No.

-Get rid of it. Yeah.
-Oh, let me guess.

-You came here to gloat.
-No. I came here

to do my job: approve wardrobe.

[chuckles]:
I am loving this view.

Yeah. Look, I know we got off
on the wrong foot

with the whole coffee thing.

-It wasn't just the coffee.
-Okay.

But there's no reason to punish
the audience because of it.

-Excuse me?
-You might not know this,

but Steve Sanders' mom,
Samantha Sanders--

a very famous actress, okay?

She was also the epitome
of cutting-edge fashion.

If you dress me
like a homeless bum,

the fans are gonna revolt.

Wow, you are so about yourself,

you literally
can't hear yourself.

Now what?

I've seen every episode
of the original. Twice.

So I know all about
Samantha Sanders

and her longstanding role
on The Hartley House.

I actually intended Steve
to follow in her footsteps

and become
this Oscar-winning movie star

whose new movie
is about his character

who survives
the environmental apocalypse.

Oh, that's great. That's useful
information I now have.

-If you're gonna...
-Another thing
I think you should know:

Unhoused people aren't "bums."

As a member of the Los Angeles
Homeless Assistance Board

and, frankly, as a human, I find
the insinuation offensive.

Another misunderstanding.

No. I understand you
really well.

You want Steve
to go back to wearing

pastel mesh belly shirts.

To avoid punishing the audience.

-Done.
-Great.

Thank you. Appreciate it.

Great talk.

-Dude, that writer loves you.
-Loves me.

[cell phone ringing and buzzing]

[exhales]

-Shay Bae.
-SHAY: Hey, Bri Bae.

So, look,
Joanna swears up and down

that she didn't leak my track.

-And you believe her?
-Joanna's been with me

for, like, five years.

Zach's this sketchy kid

who's been with you
for, like, five minutes.

So, yeah, I believe her.

But Zach is

a really good kid.

I mean, he stuck up for you.

All I know is none
of my songs ever leaked

until this kid
started creeping around.

I'll see you later.

-Ugh, that's so good.
-Dude,

you have such a big house
with not one camera in it?

Dude, everything we do
in our life

is recorded on someone's camera.

I don't want cameras
in my house.

-It's a good outfit.
-Great.

TORI:
You guys, it's the first
new90210 table read.

Can you believe we're here?

-No.
-No.
-Yes.

What I can't believe is that

there's still
a stalker out there.

It kind of sucks
the joy out of things.

Oh, come on, Jen.
Give yourself some credit.

You can do that all on your own.

Oh, thank you for noticing.

Oh, see? This is delicious.

I hope the script is heavy
on Brandon/Kelly love scenes.

Mm, me, too.

What I'm not crazy about

is that, uh,
we're doing a cold read.

Why haven't we gotten
the script until now?

Sorry, guys, it's just been
really down to the wire.

Well, I hope you've been
respectful of our characters.

We're very protective over them.

I did my best.

-Hello, everyone.
-Hello.

-Welcome.
-Well, hello.

-Shannen's deal hasn't closed.
-Hi, everybody.

Oh, my God. I wonder
what she's asking for now.

-And why didn't we ask for it?
-No kidding.

So, I have a reader
doing her part.

-Hey.
-Hi.

Well, if she's good,
maybe we can recast.

-[chuckles]: Yeah.
-CHRISTINE: So, here we are.

Let's get this show on the road.

-[exhales]
-Here we go.

All right, let's do this.

-Okay.
-Let's do it.

-[clears throat]
-Yeah.

"Fade in. Interior, Peach Pit.

It's familiar, yet brand-new."

"I thought old friends
were supposed to be

"the best friends.

So, where does this
leave us, Kel?"

"Nowhere, Brandon."

And we fade out.

[sighing]

[sighs]

Okay, why don't we
clear the room?

[murmuring]

ANNA:
So, what do you guys think?

Is this a, uh...
a comedy or a drama?

It's not a comedy,
I don't think.

At least,
it's-it's not supposed to be.

No offense.

GABRIELLE:
Oh, it feels

-so anticlimactic.
-And retro.

Could you be more specific?

Yeah. It makes me want to draw
a warm bath and slit my wrists.

KYLER:
Seriously, Mom?

I know, baby, it's bad.

No, "Seriously, Mom," is
my one line buried in act three.

Did you know I was gonna be
a featured extra?

No, I didn't know
it would be that small.

-I guess that's
all I'm good for.
-Ky...

JASON:
Hey, Anna, what's with

all these
claustrophobic interiors?

How am I supposed
to make this look cinematic?

And Andrea's supposed to be
having a gradual awakening.

Why is she having sex
with a woman on page four?

And the real question is,

what is this thing
about a dildo?

BRIAN:
So, David Silver

is supposed to be a lawyer,

but why is he shirtless
through most of this?

IAN:
All right, guys, I think

-you're all being
a little heavy-handed here.
-Well, I...

-There is potential.
-Oh, yeah, right.
Easy for you to say.

You've got a great inspirational
monologue on page 31.

Yeah, and an action sequence
on page 46.

Right. You're saving
a drowning kid.

-"Abs glistening in the sun."
-Glistening. Uh-huh.

-[laughs]
-CHRISTINE: We shoot
in two days, people.

So you better make your tweaks
and come to some agreements.

All right. Look, my club's all
set up for the kickoff party.

How about we take this thing
up there and tune it up?

That's not really how I work.

Anna, you're, like, 12. How do
you even know how you work?

CHRISTINE:
Just get it done. Okay?

There are huge expectations
for this reboot.

And miraculously, no one's aware

of what a dumpster fire
it's been so far.

So let's just try
and keep it that way.

[elevator bell chimes]

Hey. No drinking, Kyler.

-I'll contravene.
-Uh, Jen,

probably not my place...

You're right.
Whatever it is, it isn't.

Kyler's the exact same age
you were when we started 90210.

She's strong-willed, hotheaded,
looking to rebel.

Mm, yes, well, it must be karma.

Well, she wants to be
just like you.

But she doesn't want you
to know that.

She's doing a very good job
of hiding it.

It's difficult to fail

in front of the person
you want to be like.

Especially at her age.

You're making a lot of sense.

It's really irritating.

I can't just cut the first act.

Uh, yeah, you can, if it stinks.

Anna, what about all these
Donna and David sex scenes?

And this scene where Brandon
is talking to his kid's teacher.

-He's-he's such a lummox.
-ANNA: Okay.

This is not helpful.

You guys just need
to step outside

your individual characters
and look at the bigger picture.

Really? Is that how it works?

Hey, everybody.

How's it going?

JENNIE:
Uh, not very good.

Anna is not being
very receptive to our ideas

-on how to fix the script.
-ANNA: Okay, well,

you guys aren't writers.

And with all due respect,

I don't need you
to teach me how to do it.

Anna, with all due respect,

we know these characters
a little bit better than you do.

You know, we did create them.

TORI:
Uh...

Can you just write
our ideas down?

Taking dictation
is not exactly my forte.

Neither is writing dialogue.

-[whistles]
-Ooh.

Geez.

-[whistles]
-[chuckles]

Well done, everybody.

You've alienated your writer.
And now you're stuck

with a script you don't like.

Okay, l-let me just be clear
on behalf of everybody

that we're not gonna
play our parts

unless we have a decent script.

We're not gonna do anything
that disrespects

the memory of our show.

The fans are gonna
be disappointed.

Yeah. We owe them
something great.

CHRISTINE:
If I were you, I'd figure out

a way to get a script
you do like.

Because cameras roll tomorrow,

and if you're not there,
you'll be fired.

Do we still get paid?

-And sued.
-Ooh.

CHRISTINE:
And you'll have killed

any chance of a reboot, ever.

Why are you lurking here?

"Lurking." [sighs]

Look, I just want you
to understand

where this is all coming from.

Narcissism?

Oh, arrested development.

We're all nervous.
We want this to be good.

And I resent the implication
that I don't.

-[sighs]
-So, you know what?

Write it yourselves.

Yeah. We are.

What?

I-I mean, you can't be serious.

Okay. I'm out.

Good luck.

No. No.
You're letting your emotions

overpower your intelligence.

I don't need this gig.

Yeah, you do.

We all do.

This is very important
for all of us.

And if you quit, you're just
sabotaging yourself.

Look, I can help you.
We can help each other.

Go find some quiet place
to collect your thoughts,

and keep your phone on.

There is no quiet place
in this pretentious temple

of white privilege
and soullessness.

Here. My car.

Trust me.

Uh, if Kelly is just going
to stand there and cry

for the whole thing, then I say
we just cut that scene.

-It's just pointless.
-I think they want

to do something with
postpartum depression, though.

I have one kid--
she's a teenager.

So we're saying Kelly's had
postpartum depression

for a decade?

I mean, I don't mean
to be mean, Gabby,

but maybe you could just, like,
stick to your own story.

-Guys, guys, guys,

bossed me around,

acting like my real mom

-She did?
-Ooh.

Oh. I've blocked
so much of it out.

to not control everything.

Okay, good. So we're fine now.

I was breastfeeding,

I just never felt like
I fit in, and you...

you guys were, like,

We weren't cool.

Speak for yourself.

Tor, we were so cool.

Guys, I loved being on the show.

I really...
I thought it was great,

you guys to like me,

if I was controlling.

It was me 'cause I wanted
to be in control...

JENNIE:
We did like you. Stop it.

And you weren't controlling.
You were just trying to help.

I mean, like that time

you tried to keep me
from marrying that drummer

with the long hair
from the Coconut Teaszer.

-Remember?
-Uh, you still married him.

I'm-I'm sorry.

I was an immature brat
sometimes.

Yeah, I'm sorry, too.

What are you apologizing for?
You didn't do anything.

I don't know. Uh...
I'm just sorry.

I'm always sorry.

Thank you.

Now go.

I have to crack this.

Got it.

See you later.

♪

Oh, Kyler, there you are.

I've been looking
for you everywhere.

I thought you took an Uber home
without telling me.

And deprive the driver
of the humiliation

of you taking pictures
of his car, license and face?

-I do that because I care.
-Right.

Look, I know you're
disappointed, babe.

You should know,

Kelly Taylor was not
the first acting job I landed.

I had a really tiny part
on a show called Growing Pains.

I played Blonde Girl.

What's Growing Pains?

It doesn't matter.

I... There are gonna be
bigger parts, I promise.

You're way more talented
than I was at your age.

Although, I did kill it
on Growing Pains.

Thanks, Mom.

JENNIE:
Mm.

I slashed your tire.

What?

Well, just because
you're so happy.

With Wyatt.

And if you're not in any danger,
then he's gonna leave.

Hmm.

I cannot believe you did that.

You know that's psychotic,
right?

A little bit, yeah, but, I mean,
it's kind of cool, too, right?

Mm. And deceitful.

And manipulative.

Which means you're gonna do
just fine in showbiz.

Thanks, Mom.

So, you don't want to have sex
with me ever?

What?

In the script.

Oh. No, it's-it's not that.

It... [sighs]

It's Nate.

He's being really weird
because of our history.

-That's crazy, right?
-NATE: Boom!

NATE:
There's the puck.

So I go, and I get it.

-And I have a wide open...
-That is crazy.

-Mm...
-There he is.
Speak of the devil.

-Hey, there you are.
Hey, how are you?
-Hey.

-Hey, Shay.
-BRIAN: How are you, Nate?

-Hey.
-Brian. How are you?

Hey, babe.

-You're still here.
-Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I was heading out, and then
we bumped into each other.

-Oh.
-She's really cool.

Uh, millions of people
would agree with that.

Wait, I'm-I'm still confused

-why you hung around.
-She's really funny,

don't you think?

Like, political,
but not in your face with it.

-Huge hockey fan, by the way.
-Mm.

Yay! You guys connected.
That's great.

I mean, it's just good
to meet a celebrity

who's not just a celebrity.

You know what I mean?

[chuckles]

Yeah.

What about the sitter?

Hmm? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm on my way now.

I was gonna give Shay my e-mail.

We're talking about doing
a playdate with the kids.

-Wha...?
-See you at home.

Love you.

Ah, Christine,
can I talk to you?

No. You should be rewriting.

I wanted to alert you of a small
but potential issue.

[scoffs] Nope.
I'm all issued out.

Shannen might not do the reboot.

[laughs]

[both laughing]

I know. That's so funny.

And I don't think
it's gonna happen.

I'm trying to fix it.

Don't try. Do.

What is this about? High school
drama with you girls?

Get over it. All of you.

No. It's not that.

Well, whatever it is, fix it.

I will if I can.

And if I can't, I was thinking,
if we save on one big salary,

it'll actually help the budget.

Mm-hmm. One salary?
Try two.

Who else isn't doing the show?

Oh, my God,
you guys are so naive.

Why do you think it took so long
for Shannen's deal to close?

Uh, 'cause she had lots
of chanting to do

-before she signed it?
-No.

Because she held out.

She was the last one to sign on,
and she knew we were desperate.

She got us to pay her twice
what you suckers are gonna make.

Uh, okay, I don't know
what's happening here.

GABRIELLE:
Oh, is she sleeping?

Shan.

-[gasps]
-[all gasp]

-Oh! Sorry.
-Oh, gosh. Scared the...

Didn't mean to interrupt
your meditation.

SHANNEN:
Oh, no, no, no.

I wasn't meditating.

I was listening to, um,
My Favorite Murder.

It's this great podcast.

This girl climbed a mountain
for you.

I pooped in a hole
and then buried it

with my own hands for you.

Um, right, okay.

Well, I mean,
we all make sacrifices.

Oh, come on, Shannen.
Sacrifices? You come in late,

and you get paid twice as much
as everybody else.

Okay, first off,
my flight was delayed.

Also, I wouldn't hold it
against you

if you got a better deal
than me.

Well, easy for you to say.

You're making more
than everybody else.

Listen, Gab, I did not hold it
against you

when you got your own talk show.

And, Tori,
I didn't hold it against you

that you were living in
a 52,000-square-foot mansion.

56,000.

And, Jennie, I didn't hold it
against you

that you never got
any bad press.

You threw a script at my head.

You yanked my hair out,
a clump of it, by the root.

Oh, and the boys
had to break it up.

-I don't remember that.
-Yeah.

I was hiding
in the dressing rooms.

JENNIE:
It was kind of a thing.

[laughing]

JENNIE:
Come on, the point is,

it's 30 years ago.

We were all babies.

Now we've grown up.

We can be better.

TORI:
Yeah.

I mean, I do kind of miss this.

Yeah. I mean,

maybe we can do it differently
this time.

So, you're saying you're in?

[sighs] I'm saying
that we need to fix the script.

Come on, let's go upstairs.
Help us.

Yeah, maybe you can get
a script-writing fee, too.

Why didn't I think of that?

Oh, please, I'm sure you did.

♪

Hey.

You, uh...

You okay?
You want to get back to writing?

Nope.

I am so sick of Ian talking

about how Steve Sanders
rules the world,

and Jason talking about
how Brandon has a wife

in every single country,

and Gabby talking about
sexual fluidity.

Ugh. I-I don't want to think
about anyone's sexual fluids.

You can't show that
on TV anyway.

[scoffs]
I'm joking, but it's just...

[sighs]
It's best I just stand here
and cut my limes

before I cut someone tonight.

You want to talk about it
before you chop off your finger?

So, Nate apparently thinks
that all celebrities

are vapid and incompetent,
especially me.

Hmm.

Did he actually say those words?

No.

Tor, uh-uh.

This one's on you.

What do you mean?

I mean that,
ever since I, uh... I met you,

you-you act like you believe
that you don't measure up.

But I think you do.

As a matter of fact,
I'd go as far as to say

that you're in a league
of your own.

[chuckles]

Are you saying this because
I have a knife in my hand?

-I am saying this because
you have a knife in your hand.
-[laughing]

And I'm saying it
because it's the truth.

How's that script coming?

It's coming.

It's a process.

How you holding up?

I thrive on chaos.

No, this may be my Waterloo.

It's not gonna be your Waterloo.

Oh, I hate how hard this is
on everybody.

Well, it's all your faces
out there.

I know how that feels.
That's why I gave up acting.

I know you know.

I thought that if I became
an executive,

I would actually be
in control of my career.

[both laugh]

Idiot.

It's hard being
a type A control freak

and an actor at the same time.

It is all about just letting go.

And making hard decisions.

Well, it can't be any easier
to run that union

than it is to run this network.

Nope.

It's tough being tough.

Mm-hmm.

Listen, um...
that weirdness earlier

about the date-- I'm sorry.

I don't usually send,
you know, mixed signals, and...

It-it was so awkward. It is...

It's uncharted territory for me.

And I'm scared.

It should be fun and exciting.

I can't.

I'm-I'm not gonna do it
until it's right.

And I'm just a little bit...
[clicks tongue] too buzzed.

Okay.

JASON:
No, no. No, no,
what are you talking about?

-One more time.
-What-what do you mean?

[indistinct,
overlapping chatter]

What?

Did you tell them?

Yes.

You know she can't
keep a secret.

Great, so now you're all
mad at me.

No, I'm mad at myself for not
holding out for more money.

-I want you to, uh,
negotiate for me next time.
-And I will.

No. You know what, Shannen,
it's not the '90s.

We're supposed to all be making
the same amount of money.

SHANNEN:
Uh, I mean, look, yes,

I was able to negotiate
a more favorable deal.

But I can tell you guys that the
money is really badly needed.

Oh, please, cry me a river.

Yeah, Shan, I think we can all
find a place to spend

a little extra cash these days.

You know, 100% of my salary

is going to an organization
that-that, um...

well, it helps orphans
in hot zones.

[sighs]

If your guys' happiness
means only half of those kids

can get off the streets
and be safe,

then I-I will totally
cut my salary.

-It's up to you.
-Uh, Shan, it's fine.

Keep the money.
Give it to the orphans.

Oh. Thank you.

[quietly]:
How did she just do that?

-She's that good.
-Oh.

How's the rewrite going?

-Awesome.
-It's great.
-Great.

The new pages are coming along.
It's gonna be great.

I'm not a writer.
I just say this crap.

We're-we're getting there.
We'll, you know...

we'll get there.

-Mm.
-What do you got there?

My rewrite.

We could read it.

I mean, unless you wanted
to read yours.

[sighs]

Before we begin,
I'd like to say again

that I'd really appreciate it

if you all wait until
after we finish the script

before you give me any notes.

Okay. I just have one question.

"Act One. Interior.
The Peach Pit."

"Fade out. End of pilot."

That was... amazing.

Yeah, you really captured
the spirit and the essence.

I didn't think you got us,
but you do.

It, uh, wasn't very different,
but it's a hell of a lot better.

It finally feels real.

You got the characters,
the history. Brava.

Amazing insight into everyone.

How did you do it
in so short a time?

CHRISTINE:
Well, hot damn!

We finally have something
to shoot tomorrow.

-Whoo!
-This demands a celebration.

We got champagne.

-JENNIE: All right. Whoo!
-Oh, my God. [sighs]

-What's that crap?
Where's the good stuff?
-[laughing, whooping]

Hey, what's going on?
Kids all right?

The kids are fine.

-So I had a private investigator
look into the song leak.
-Right.

Brian, it was Joanna after all.

Some fans gave her a huge bribe.

So Zach was right.

I had the private investigator
look into him, too.

Look at this.

Uh, I've been watching
the show with my mother.

That's weird.
He said that we had never met.

Exactly. Keep swiping.

That's his apartment,

and that's your wallet.
Brian...

who the hell is this guy?

[sighs]

That was a boring night
for you, huh?

Just another day at the office.

I need to tell you something
about the tire slash.

Kyler did it.

You knew?

I'd be a pretty crappy
bodyguard if I didn't.

[sighs] I think she's more
like me than I realize.

Which is mildly terrifying.

-Come on, it's fantastic.
-I don't know about that.

I love it when you get insecure.

I'm not getting insecure.

No, of course not.
My mistake.

Anyway, I've been keeping my eye
on you for some time now,

and from what I've seen...

you're pretty incredible.

If you knew about Kyler,
why didn't you say anything?

I guess I was happy

for a reason to stick around.

[sighs]

I can't get involved
with a client.

Okay. Well, I feel pretty safe.

So, why don't I call Fox
tomorrow

and have you reassigned?

And if you want to stick around,

you'll be off the clock.

Were you gonna go after Shay?
What?

No. No, nothing bad.
