Original subtitles

You know, usually a classic, hey, bitches, would be in order. But since

I've been away, your girl has evolved.

After Aaron and I split, I headed to New York to resuscitate anti-mute. Some cry

when their heart is heavy, but I design dope shit.

You know what? Why don't I just show you?

After working my Zoe charm during fashion week, I was finally building

some buzz.

So your girl got into the lab and cooked up some new look.

But while I was working on my business, I realized I needed to do a little work

on myself.

So after some soul-searching, I managed to lay the old narcissistic Zoe to rest.

And once the new looks dropped, things started popping off. I couldn't believe

Anti-Muse was finally that girl.

And now?

All I really need to put my name on the map is recognition from the AFDA.

Which is why I'm back where it all started.

L.A.

Tonight, I'm hosting a fashion show in hopes that it wins me an AFDA award and

takes anti-muse to that next level.

We get it. You're back, bitches.

Hello, good to see you too.

And, oh!

I am so evolved now, I'm not even going to roast you about your TikTok shop

pants. I'm not saying a word.

Anyways, tonight is about both Johnsons, because I'm no longer little brother.

I am an A-list manager who gets things done. So I'm going to ignore all of

that, and I'm going to use my networking magic on all of her VIP guests tonight.

Wow, this is the venue for your fashion show?

This place is big time.

Break a leg, Zozo.

You think the outside is great just wait until you see the inside

event space with a bar mitzvah and i'm totally screwed and while evan gets to

become a man i get to become a complete failure it is okay this is nothing that

the johnsons cannot fix right what time does the talent arrive 20 minutes yes

you got him what do you i i can totally hear you what i invented this listen i'm

here for you i get shit done so tell me what you need all right we got that okay

you're right i just need a moment to gather my thoughts Okay. It's the anti

-muse show.

Oh, my God. You got the black-eyed peas?

That's the AFDA.

Who?

Really important.

Sonia? You're here early? Oh, like, you're here really early.

Well, you know me. I like to have some one-on-one time with the designer before

I consider giving them one of the most prestigious awards in fashion.

Naturally. Do you have a minute?

Oh, a full minute?

Um... Uh, Sonia.

I'm Andre Johnson of Andre Johnson Entertainment, A-list talent manager,

jack of all trades, master of all the trades that I am the jack of.

Zoe's actually busy right now, but I've got time for you guys. Sorry, this is my

little brother, and he is helping me with tonight's show. I like my

introduction way better, but yes, I am all yours. You guys thirsty?

There's actually a cafe in the hotel.

No. What are you doing?

Do you have any idea how important that woman is? Don't worry. I have handled

much worse.

But you know what?

I'm going to trust you.

But if you screw this up, I will be telling Mom and Dad about what you did

to the couch when you were 12.

Sonia! Rap-A's on me.

Uh-huh. No, yeah, I know that we're supposed to set up the stage in the

ballroom, but for now, can we just kind of store it all in the garage?

Yeah? Thank you. Oh, my God. Is that Zoe Johnston of Anti-Mute? Oh, my God.

What a surprise.

Aren't you supposed to be somewhere, like, convicting a jury?

Aw, you still have no idea how our justice system works. I love that about

you. Thank you.

So, how's it going?

between a catastrophe and a disaster.

Because, fun fact, the super high-up important fashion rep showed up early,

but the entire place was a hot mess. Two garbage trucks just crashed head-on, 405

disaster. And it's worse than a freshman year bathroom when we had that one girl

that just cut the shed in. Sweetie, breathe.

Yeah. Breathe, calm down. It's just, I feel like I don't have time. I'm

supposed to go meet the van when it unloads, and I don't know where it's

going to go. You know what, though?

I can make the most of it. And I could ask about truck driving work and just

pivot if the fashion show fails, because I heard they actually have really good

vet events. Oh!

Ooh!

Anna. What? Do you mind strutting in front of the car as though a Rosalia

song's playing in your head?

Huh?

Why? Just for me. I'm trying to see something.

Okay.

Rosalia. Just put a little more... Hey!

Duh! Tyra's watching.

I kind of feel like this may work.

Can you tell me what's going on?

If the show is about L.A., then why not use L.A.? And what's more L.A. than

cars? Oh, hey, guys, won't you just go down the ramp and unload everything in

here?

Because this is our venue now.

And it's going to be perfect.

I'm dying to know about the theme of the show. Why a love letter to L.A.? I mean,

why not?

Maybe I should just talk to her.

No, no, no, no.

What do you want to know?

What is she trying to say as a designer?

For example, Skims has done a lot for inclusivity with its line of

undergarments for differently abled people.

Also, Kim got my cousin out of prison.

Well, um, rest assured, Zoe cares very greatly about the political and cultural

impact of this show, so much so that the cultural and political impact are going

to be so great that Rosa Parks' ghost...

He's gonna ask Zoe for tips.

That shouldn't be too hard, right?

Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh, you got Whitney Harlow to be in your show? Yes, girl!

Thank you so much for coming. Girl, this is your big night. I wouldn't miss it

for the world.

Though I'm a little confused. When I was upstairs in the ballroom, I was swarmed

by a bunch of 13-year-old boys hitting on me. Oh, sorry. That's Evan. He's

becoming a man. That won't happen again. And your dressing room is that way.

Perfect. Thank you so much. And my love, you're going to kill it tonight.

Thank you.

God, she's so nice.

Oh, my gosh. Beavis and Butthead made it. Yay!

Hi, hi, hi. Hey, you.

For the lady of the night. Thank you.

Wow. And you look great, though. You're aging like fine wine. Thank you. I'd

hope so at 23.

I just wanted to come say hello, wish you good luck, and I should get back to

doing your thing. Oh, my God. They're still doing that? When are they not

doing it? Hey, guys.

Oh, hi.

Hey.

How'd it go with Sonia? Oh, light work. Handled it just like I said I would.

Great. I may have promised that the show would be more politically and culturally

impactful than Rosa Parks, but it's a lovely venue.

It's gorgeous.

What'd you say?

Did you see that on a review? Andre, you promised the woman that determines the

future of my company that this show is about to set off the second civil rights

movement? You realize if I don't deliver, the future of my company is in

jeopardy. Okay, I understand that you're mad, but I can fix this. I'm not even

mad. I'm just disappointed that I thought my little brother would come

through for me on my big night.

I hope you can find something else to manage.

Thanks.

Okay, so Zoe hates me right now, but not for long, because your boy has been

hitting the phones like a guy trying to raise money after a natural disaster.

I have called all of my people, and yeah, maybe my grandkids are going to

have to pay off all the favors that I owe, but they have agreed.

to take this fashion show to the next level.

We're here.

Oh. We heard you all the way up, and you need your friends to save your ass.

Okay, those are not the words that I would use, but yes, Zoe's show is about

to start, and we do need some crowd to fill the new space.

But I really just need you guys here for moral support.

I am renowned for my heart of gold, so I'm going to see what I can do to get my

camera-ready friends down here. But if you need famous faces, you know who you

need to ask.

Look who's calling.

Do you need a suggestion for something?

There is that razor sharp wit.

Oh my god.

Is that new eye shadow or did you just wake up looking extra smoky today?

Andre, what are you doing?

Don't try to act like things are all fine and normal between us. What the

hell are you calling me for? Yeah, I know. I know you're right. I'm really

sorry about the way things ended between us. And I want to make things right.

But I'm in a bind right now.

And I could really use some of your black girl magic.

Zoe's fashion show is tonight.

and we're a bit short on some famous faces.

So I was wondering if you could invite some of your influential friends?

Since it's for Zoe, I got you.

Oh, my God.

I really didn't know how this call was going to go. I was unbelievably nervous.

Okay, she's gone. Cool.

No, I just...

I need to come up with something that really moves people and has a meaning.

You got this. And you have us here to help. We just have to come up with this

political message.

Like, um, oh, ah, problematic statues.

Oh, or mild to severe plaque psoriasis.

It's very relevant.

And the commercials is everywhere, no?

What about this?

Oh, my god, the jumpsuit. The jumpsuit.

Yeah, because the top and bottom separate clothes is like a relic of...

It's the jumpsuit I designed for his graduation.

Right. Right, and it's a jumpsuit that has a cultural impact and one hell of a

political message. Yeah, Cal U stopped investing in private prisons because of

this jumpsuit, so I guess I do have something to say. You always have.

Yeah, and Cal U has always been a part of our, well, your journey.

Mm-hmm.

So where is the jumpsuit?

That's at my house.

Of course it is. I could totally rework it for my collection, but your apartment

is, what, 50 minutes each way? And the show's in two hours.

Well, there is someone at my house that could maybe, uh... Who's at your house?

Hmm? Who's that?

What are you guys talking about?

Oh.

Oh.

Is anybody going to tell me what's going on? Uh, my... Who's at your place?

It's someone.

Edie, it's someone.

She's a person that I work with, and she sometimes at my house. We sometimes

watch movies, and then after hours, we sometimes... Who's your girlfriend?

Bitch, what?

No, I wouldn't say that, right? I'd say she's more of like a... We're like a mix

between like a sneaky link and... Oh, okay. Hold my earring.

Shit!

Uh, tell her to bring it. That would actually be so great. And you know what?

I'll even save her seat. What is wrong with you? Awesome.

I'm gonna go call her. You wanna... Yeah.

You sure you're up for this?

No, I'm not.

Totes. Yeah, why wouldn't I be? I need the jumpsuit, and as my dad likes to

quote from De La Soul, stakes is high.

I'm gonna get some intel from Doug. Thank you. You're welcome.

Girl, you are lying to yourself. Which is me, because I'm you, and we both know

we still want you to hit that.

Uh, no, I understand it is last minute, but I'm down a model, and I'm honestly

this close to putting a mannequin on top of a Roomba.

OK. Uh, follow-up question. Do you have a mannequin or a Roomba?

No? No?

Hi. Listen, I know I screwed up, but I think I made it up to you.

So I called all of my friends, and you are going to get LA's finest.

You are going to have black excellence.

You're going to get political excellence.

You're going to get TikTok excellence. This place is going to be more poppin'

than a cookout.

At the Obama first term, of course.

I so appreciate it.

I really do, but it feels like none of it is even going to matter.

I lost the model that's supposed to close the entire show, and it just feels

like every single time I actually solve a problem, another one pops up like an

anxiety mackerel.

It's all good. You've kicked ass since day one. Why are you going to stop now?

And if you tell anybody this, I will deny it, but I've looked up to you since

literally my first memory.

So tonight, go out there.

And do what you always do.

You.

Thank you, Andre.

Yeah.

Oh, um, and one last thing.

Don't worry about finding another model.

You've got the perfect person in mind.

He may just be my second favorite brother.

Zoe, are you sure you're up for this? Because I can snatch that jumpsuit and

kick Edie to the curb where she belongs. For the hundredth time? I'm chilling.

No, you're not. Empath's running my family, and your energy's wild right

now. I can feel it. Well, yeah, I'm a little excited because my woman, Edie,

is coming. But Zoe and I were just... Friends!

Friends! Honestly, we may as well live across from each other in an overly

-priced West Village apartment. We are so friendly.

Oh, wow.

I really hope that's a model and not... Edie!

Thank you so much. You were the best.

You are so lucky you're not an impasse. If my knees start to buckle, you catch

my head. Shh, I'm watching.

Hey. Zoe, hey.

Hi. Hi.

Oh, you got something?

Yeah, no, this is Zoe. Zoe, this is Edie.

Pleasure.

That's not a rebound.

It's a slam dunk.

Wow, Edie, it's a pleasure. And honestly, you are a real one for doing

me this insane solid.

Like, I'm so grateful. Thank you. Beyond thank you. I just hope I made it in

time. I always get a little turned around leaving Aaron.

Oh. What do you say we find a place for this, huh? We don't want the models

fitless, right?

Catch my head.

Anna, catch my head. Um, I will just take this backstage. Thank you. A

pleasure to meet you, beauty, Edie.

Hi.

Zoe, we have to go.

Okay, I'm going to go. But thank you. No, I promise I'll let you work. But

when Aaron told me the history behind this jumpsuit, I was so impressed by

your genius. On top of your already incredible style.

Thank you. Thank you.

Is it just me or does her voice have a naturally seductive quality to it?

I love her. I mean, I hate her.

Los Angeles has always been a place that people can come to reinvent themselves.

No matter the confines of our social circumstances, we are all capable of

change. And this is what a true metamorphosis is about.

Enjoy the show.

We'll be

right

back.

That's me.

Hey, sorry, can I just have a minute alone?

You don't have a moment for me?

You absolutely killed it today.

Well, at least I think you did. This is my first.

Fashion show.

Well, I couldn't have done it without you, so thank you so much. You're

welcome.

No, it's everything.

You always come through for me.

Well, you're easy to come through for.

Yeah.

Well, I'm sure you should probably get going, huh? Right, yeah, for sure.

I couldn't see it.

Again, amazing job today.

Thank you. Oh, also...

I expect my 10% when the jumpsuit sells for millions.

No promises.

Stop it.

So, you're just going to let him walk away?

Okay, wait, what are you doing here? Because I actually put you behind me. I

did the work. I had better help on freaking speed dial.

Big Zozo, I am always here.

And you and I both know that you still have very real feelings for Aaron, so

you can't just let him walk away without saying something, even if that edie

bitch has skin that looks like she's lit from within.

No, Aaron and I had our shot.

That's that.

So you're just gonna let him go?

No.

We're gonna let him go.

Okay.

Cool, cool.

Cool, cool, cool, cool. I'm just gonna go talk to him.

Okay, no. Hold on, bitch.

Hold on.

Really? What's that? Smoke?

You know what? Yeah. I want all this smoke.

No.

Fuck.

No.

It's time for you to go. For good.

Not night cups, bitch.

Is everything okay?

You did the right thing by letting him go.

Thank you for being my rock, Anna.

I couldn't have done this without you. And girl, I missed you! I know, I'm

great! You are!

The key to evolving is that you are never done.

But maybe that's how it's supposed to be. After all, nothing great comes from

staying the same.

I'm bearing gifts.

It's going to take a lot more of these to make up for your post-breakup

shenanigans. And we only drink Topshop.

Well, the night is young, and my liver is even younger. So, challenge accepted.

To the crew.

To the crew.

To the crew.

Yeah.

Playing games, why you treat me like a concho?

In the hood, they're telling me like I'm Rambo.

Wasn't running, bust up, head honcho.

If it ain't about the money, can't convo. Pick it up, get up, that mama.

What you want? What you want? No time, huh? Do me good. Do me good. Good karma.

Do me good. Do me good. Good karma.

Okay. Okay.

Let's go. Let's go. Let's go.

Pick it up. Pick it up. That mama.

What you want? What you want? No time, huh? Do me good. Do me good. Good karma.

Do me good. Do me good. Good karma.
