[ALICE] Do you really

live in L.A. again?

I live in a one-bedroom in
Koreatown with five other girls.

Well, if you ever need some space,

I think there's some extra
bedrooms in the back.

- Who's that?
- My wife.

- Sophie Suarez, will you marry me?
- Yes. Yes, yes, yes.

[NAT] Today's Alice's day
to drop off the kids.

Oh, sh... I'm sorry.

Did you want to take them?

Oh, no. It's fine.

That's not the point.

Would you want to grab dinner later?

Sounds fun.

Yesterday, during a forum,
a man publicly accused

mayoral candidate Bette Porter

of having an affair with his wife.

- Is that correct?
- That's correct.

- [REPORTERS CLAMORING]
- Shame on you!

Ms. Porter. Bette.

Do you know how humiliating
it is to be your daughter?

- Are you high right now?
- We vaped.

[BETTE] Give me your phone.

- You're grounded.
- [DANI] I am damn good at my job.

But I want to work for
someone I believe in.

And I came here today
because I believe in you.

You've started your professional
life in a compromised industry.

If you want to win,

I think you need me.

She's really dramatic.

I am so sorry.

This is not at all how I
expected our first night to go.

Yeah, no, it's fine. It's fine.

- Should I go?
- No. No. Please don't go.

Yeah. She's a really great mom.

[SOPHIE] Oh, my God. Okay.

I'm inviting my whole family
to the engagement party...

aunts, uncles, cousins, second cousins.

I mean, you know, it's
last minute, so, you know...

[BOTH LAUGHING]

I, uh, pray to God that
they don't all come,

but when there's free
food, odds aren't great.

Should I invite Alice?

I can't decide what's less
weird for her, you know?

[EXHALES] I have to tell you something.

What is it?

I got a new job.

- Oh.
- I'm going to run

PR for Bette Porter's campaign.

I get to be a part of something
that I actually believe in.

Well, you should've talked to me first.

Oh. I thought that...

I thought that you'd be happy for me.

And I thought that we were slowing down.

Settling into our lives together.

- I know I am.
- We are, but...

Yeah, but we talked before
I took the job with Alice.

Why should this be any different?

[MICAH] Guys, listen, I'm
taking José to Topolino

for our first date.

You know that fancy place near La Mill?

I haven't actually told him this yet,

but I got this gift card, you
know? So I just thought, like,

I might as well just use
it on this really cute guy

and have, like, a great date.

'Cause it wouldn't make sense
for me to go with you guys,

'cause I'd be, like, a third
wheel, and that'd be weird.

And... shit, that's really
dumb, isn't it? That's dumb.

- No, no-no-no, it's not that.
- Now I'm thinking

that we probably shouldn't have
our engagement party this week.

Of course we should still have it.

Yeah, but it might be too much, though.

[MICAH] Okay, it smells like
stress sweat in here. Is it me?

- No.
- Yeah.

[FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING]

Hey! Morning.

You're still here.

Yeah. You want some breakfast?

I, uh, I picked up some
things from the dollar store.

- [SIGHS]
- Oh! And, um, also got you coffee.

There you go. How about that?

Thanks.

It's from one of those packet things.

Good, right?

[CHUCKLES]

So, I heard three voices

coming from your room last night.

- How wasted were you?
- I wasn't.

Seriously, though,

no judgment.

I don't think I've ever had sober sex.

I need that liquid courage, you know?

Or, like, I can't even
tell if someone's into me.

Well, just try listening,
and they'll tell you.

That's deep.

[CHUCKLES, SIGHS]

I think there...

there may have been...

- a little miscommunication.

[SIGHS]

You want me to get it,
or can I finish my sando?

All right, yeah. Your house. You get it.

What?

Yeah, delivery for Shane McCutcheon.

No, she's not here.

She wants me to run PR for her campaign.

I don't really want you hanging

Why? I didn't ditch because of her.

I'll never forget the first time
I saw The Dinner Party.

She's always had such a clear mission.

You know, like she never
deviated from the goal.

- Don't you think?
- Yes.

Shall we?

[BARRY] Bottom line is,

and I hate to be the bad guy here,

but you can't change your
interview guest at the last minute.

You can't just interview
your friends, right?

Well, I thought it went really well.

- Didn't you?
- [BARRY] You got lucky.

When we bought your
podcast, we bought a brand.

A poppy, fun, palatable lesbian brand.

We want to build off that.

I do, too. I really do. I...

It's just I'm a very... curious person,

and I think my audience is, too.

And I just want to give them
a little credit. You know,

I think we have a real
opportunity to make an impact.

[BARRY] And we will
always be completely open

to your ideas.

But we got to stay true to
our season one audience, right?

But they might be interested
in something more substantial.

[DREW] It's unlikely.

- [LAUGHS]
- [ALICE] I'm... I... Is there... ?

[BARRY] This is Drew Wilson.

- Oh.
- [DREW CHUCKLES] Big fan.

[BARRY] Drew has written for Seth, Sarah

and all the Jimmys.

We want you to get to know him,

see where he might be useful.

Take some of the pressure off you a bit.

Let him help maintain the brand

that your audience
has come to love, okay?

I am so sorry to interrupt,

but, um...

Uh, hmm. Yeah, I don't, I
don't know what that means.

Oh. Ri... uh, his school called.

- Whose school?
- Eli's. Your, uh, stepkid?

Oh. Oh.

Uh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Um, it's a, it's, like, a sick kid.

Well, it... They don't h-have to, if...

[BARRY] Well, it's not a problem.

- Uh, Drew will fill you in.
- Yeah.

Um, cool. Well, I am gonna go to school.

All right, look, you got to call Shane,

- 'cause I am not doing this alone.
- Copy that.

- And he better be really fucking sick.
- Copy that.

[DREW] Uh, so, where were we?

I absolutely hear you.

We should not have gone over your
head. That won't happen again.

But we're getting some really
interesting interview requests.

And we're excited about
that, but you can't take

big swings like that
without our approval.

Well, Lena Waithe wants to come on.

- She's perfect.
- And fun.

Uh, maybe we could, uh,
play a game with her.

Uh, Alice and Lena could,
uh, play a drinking game.

- We could do it blindfolded.
- Yes, yes, yes.

- [LAUGHING]
- [BABBLING]

Yes, and she and Alice could
have an honest conversation

about the importance of
queer representation in film.

- Well, sure, sure.
- Yeah, yeah.

Uh, Drew will fill in the details.

- Mm-hmm.
- Great get, Sophie.

[PIERCE] I think we dodged a bullet.

If we bring up the affair again,

it becomes a self-inflicted wound.

I think it's best if we
focus on our town hall

- at the LGBT Center.
- I hear you.

I'm concerned if we don't
take control of the narrative,

it'll bite us in the ass.

And what do you propose we do?

Get an on-the-record
statement from Felicity Adams.

She and a mediator are
available to come in today.

[PIERCE] Wait a minute,
you already reached out?

Sorry, I thought I was
taking point on this.

Wait, why would she agree to come here?

[DANI] Well, I offered
a neutral location,

but Felicity seemed fine to come in.

I can push back if you want,

but I do prefer that
we do it on our turf.

No, it's-it's fine.

[PIERCE] Bette's already given
an account of what's happened.

[DANI] Yeah, But Felicity hasn't.

We want to get ahead of
any potential discrepancies

in your stories.

We need to protect this campaign.

[PIERCE] Okay.

Let's circle the wagons.

- Bring her in here.
- Okay.

And, uh, take her up the back stairs.

I know how to be discreet.

But do you know where
the back stairs are?

No, I don't. [CHUCKLES]

I don't want Angie to be
here when she comes in.

Kacey is taking a group out to canvass,

so she can go with them.

Great. Thank you.

[DANI] And, looking ahead,

is there anything else I need to know?

Meaning?

Is there anything else
people could use against you?

You are scheduled to be

for a photo op in 45 minutes.

- Please have the car waiting.
- You got it.

Um, okay.

Well, I spent a night in jail.

Uh, civil disobedience.
The charges were dropped.

Okay.

I cheated on my ex-wife.

Does she know you were unfaithful?

[TATIANA] I'm good. It's been a while.

[TATIANA] I was wondering...

[WHISPERS INDISTINCTLY]

[CLICKS TONGUE]

Not tonight.

Hello. How's it going over here?

You guys need another
one of these, right?

Amstel Light?

Yes, that's right,
and some more of those.

I'll be right back.
How's it going over here?

- You guys need another one of these, don't you?
- Hey. Uh...

- No.
- Great.

[TESS] Another round
here? Yeah, yeah, yeah?

Yeah, yeah? How about you?
How's your night going?

Over here playing hard to get, huh?

No, no, no.

No, but really, I'm glad
you're here. I'm Tess.

- [SHANE] Shane.
- [TESS] Girl, I know who you are.

Everyone in the city knows who you are.

- You're, like, a living legend.
- No, no, no. No, I'm not.

How adorable is that?

You don't like that reputation.

Oh, come on, girls must love
that wall that you've built.

- Thanks, babe.
- Table 14.

[TESS] But seriously,

I'm stoked that you're here.

I wish the whole bar was
filled with girls like us.

Party time, boys. Whoo!

- Can I get you something else?
- Who is that woman?

That's Tess. My girlfriend.

She's, uh, she's good with people.

Not always with me.

Sorry.

Poor thing, he's exhausted.

Well, I'm sure; he puked everywhere.

Oh, that's why the

Oh, yeah, that ship has sailed.

Thank you again for taking care of him.

I know it must have been hard.

Well, yeah.

I mean, I-I left a
really big meeting today.

Well, I'm so sorry. It's
not gonna happen tomorrow.

I called Gigi, and she'll
be here in the morning.

Oh. Okay.

What are you feeling?

I'm feeling like a babysitter.

Okay, that's not a feeling.

Oh, no, trust me, it is.

- Mm-mm.

Come on, talk to me.

Okay, okay, you can't have it both ways.

You can't ask me to be
more a part of their lives,

and then call in Gigi when you feel like

I can't handle something.

You're right. Those

'Cause you really sound

I'm sorry, okay?

I don't want you to
feel like a babysitter.

Well, thank you.

Okay, but I also need you to be clear
with me about what you want.

I want you to want me to help.

I hear you.

Alice, do you want
to watch Eli tomorrow?

No, but thank you for asking.

[LAUGHS] Okay.

- I hate him already.
- Mm-hmm.

[LOUD CHATTER]

Hi. Uh...

I'm Finley.

I just watched you walk
up and introduce yourself

to, like, five other women in this bar.

Oh, I'm very friendly.

- Is that what it is?
- Yeah. [CHUCKLES]

So... you want to have a drink with me?

- I'm already having a drink.
- Please?

[BOTH LAUGH]

You, uh, have a tab open?

Is that... is that how it works?

Well, I'm a P.A., so...

I mean, what do you do? You got a job?

You know what, I'll-I'll buy.

- Okay.
- Here.

- But you have to go do it.
- Deal.

I'm sorry.

[GROANS SOFTLY]

This used to be a gay
bar, though, right?

Yeah.

- Years ago.
- Wow.

Damn, times have changed.

Yeah, Tess is always trying
to, um, buy out the owners,

turn it back to what it used to be.

- She should.
- [LAUGHS] Yeah.

Yeah, what we could do is
just rip the fucking TVs out,

switch the menu up
and clean the place up.

You know, it would be
the only lesbian bar

in the city? Only one.

Well, then someone should just
buy it and you guys run it.

[CHUCKLES] Yeah. Yeah, they should.

No, I'm serious.

[MAN] Hey, another round, please?

- I'll be back.
- [MAN WHOOPING]

I feel pretty honored you
used your gift card on me.

[CHUCKLES] You definitely

That single espresso at the end...

- $78.50.

Very impressive.

I probably should tell you,
that was not my first gift card.

How long ago did you transition?

About five years.

Were you always with guys?

No. But...

I don't really talk about before.

Oh, of course.

Hi, Ms. Porter.

Um... I just wanted to
apologize for the other day.

You know, uh, my family has
a different set of values,

it was gonna be such a big issue

for Angie to skip school, but...

it won't happen again.

that you have a really
wonderful daughter,

ditch the pot, okay?

Absolutely.

Love the swag.

[CLICKING TONGUE]

[GIGGLING]

[BETTE] Our community is
disproportionately affected

by homelessness in this city,

And you have to ask yourself: why?

Why is that?

Well, our parents, our
parents kick us out.

Religious leaders shame us.

And our so-called "friends" abandon us.

So nearly half of all
homeless youth are one of us.

call herself one of us before.

Excuse my French.

No, they're completely full of shit.

I'm really sorry about your mother.

Okay? That's her loss.

Really.

And...

I'm not gonna pretend that our
circumstances are identical,

but there are a lot of similarities.

My father never accepted me.

Ever.

Till the day he died,

he called my partner, the woman

Eli hasn't been sick like

he just stopped eating.

It was so fucking scary.

He was dehydrated,

and they stuck an IV in his little foot.

Oh, that sounds awful.

I dug up something

by one of Sophie's
favorite poets, Alix Olson.

- [MOUTHS] I love you.
- "Living, we have learned,

can be both sloppy and precise.

And so, you choose your careful witness

to your silly little life.

You begin to trace
each other's journeys,

you begin to chart each other's pace.

You start to notice all the sweetness

and the details of their ways.

Because loving seeks
a language of solace.

It speaks volumes about tomorrow

when you are fluent in forgiveness.

Sometimes familiar becomes magic.

Sometimes magic needs distance.

Sometimes space is what shapes it.

And the shape is not instant.

Sometimes the horizon's surprising.

And the view is worth risking.

And the risk is a long wait,

but this girl is persistent.

Sometimes a future just means

that each day is worth finding.

And this day is a presence,

and this moment is shining.

[MOANING]

Sometimes her prayers
are just... soothing.

Sometimes her face is just lovely.

Years, years spent searching.

Sometimes people get lucky".
