[ fast, insistent knocking ]

- Someone better be dead or dying.

I'm not in the mood.

- Mo, something's happening.

I think I'm singing out loud again.

- You look fine to me, other than being

way too perky at 8:00 a.m.

- This is some crazy, messed-up, next-level heart song stuff.

- Hold on, what was the name of the song?

- Something about a bad moon rising.

- I'm gonna go with "Bad Moon Rising."

- That doesn't sound good.

- Mm-mm.

- Like a bad omen.

What if it was some kind of warning?

Is everything okay with you?

- No, not at all, but thanks for asking.

- What's wrong? - Oh, I'm in trouble, Zoey.

I can't paint, I can't sew, I can't caftan.

It's like I'm in the middle of a creative breakdown.

- Do you think it could maybe, possibly, in some way--

- It has nothing to do with Eddie.

- I'm just saying.

Could be depression from your breakup with him,

based on that song that I heard you sing

that I don't know the name of about your issues.

- It was probably "Issues." - You know what?

I need to make sure that everything's okay

with my dad, my family.

If there's a bad moon on the rise,

maybe I can stop it before it's risen?

- Come on, buddy. Just a little bit more.

- [ grunts softly ] - Nah.

- Morning, Howie. Hi, Dad.

How's he doing? Everything okay?

Nothing strange going on? - No.

He's actually more alert than normal this morning.

Although, he was crushing me in gin rummy earlier.

I'm pretty sure he was cheating,

although I'm still not sure how.

[ buzzer buzzes 3 times ]

- I love you, too. - [ grunts softly ]

- Want to buzz me something in Morse code?

I can try to remember back to that one week

when I was a Girl Scout before realizing

I actually had to go camping and be outside and stuff?

[ chuckles ] [ buzzer buzzes twice ]

- [ laughs ] Yeah, I figured.

- Aah! No, no, no, no, no!

Damn it!

- Mom?

- Ahh... - Is everything okay?

- Yes, I dropped my wedding ring down there

and it's so dark, I can't see to get it.

- Mom, wait, don't do that!

- Sorry. Got it. - [ exhales ]

- [ sighs ] Hey, did you notice how chipper your dad is today?

- Yeah, he just laughed with me.

I haven't heard that laugh in a while.

- Yeah. It's one of the good days.

- Well, well, well! Look who's back.

- Yeah, glad to be back.

Who wants to work on the 6th floor anyway? Not this guy.

- Especially now that we've got our very own omelette bar.

[ flame whooshes ]

Zoey, I've had three omelettes today.

Egg whites only.

Gotta keep those triglycerides low

when your cholesterol's sky-high, son.

[ loud slap ] - Are you bragging about

having high cholesterol?

- Top 2% for my age, you know it.

Purely genetic. Now on all the statins.

I am worried. This is how I compensate.

- Hey, so, how is Max doing?

- Fine, I think? Why?

- Oh, so you haven't even heard.

- Ava fired Max? Why did she do that?

- I don't know, I'm guessing it's not

because he did too good a job.

- This is terrible! I feel awful for him.

- Yeah, me too. I'm real broken up.

- Is everything okay with you? - No!

Everything is not okay. Speaking of getting fired,

I'm afraid I am getting fired.

I got a voicemail from Danny Michael Davis,

a voicemail.

Now I have to call him back and I'm afraid I'm getting fired

and I'm just hoping it was a butt dial from his smart pants.

- What are smart pants?

- Uh--nothing. Never mind.

- Okay, um...

Okay, well, this is just a suggestion, but maybe...

don't call him back? - Why would I do that?

- I think there's something weird going on in the air today

and I don't want you to get fired, too.

- Me neither. - But it's fine.

Come on, you know Danny Michael Davis.

He's got a million things on his plate.

Don't call him back this once.

He'll forget about it for six months.

And by then, AI will probably have taken over,

probably because of smart pants?

- Don't ask me about the smart pants.

Fine, I won't call him back right away.

Thank you. - Thank you.

- Why didn't you tell me? - I don't know, shame,

embarrassment, self-loathing.

We also haven't really talked that much lately.

- Right. But wait till you try a Cheesequake.

It's guaranteed to make you feel better.

- I really appreciate you trying to help,

but I'm not sure it's gonna work.

I mean, I've been at Sprq Point for five years now,

and I have no idea where I'm gonna go

or what I'm gonna do with my life.

- We're gonna figure it out together.

All morning I've had this terrible feeling

that something bad was gonna happen

and this is clearly it,

so I think if we-- - Zoey.

Max.

- Simon, hey, you're back. - I am, I am.

I--I thought I'd surprise you

with a couple of our favorite Cheesequakes.

Guess you had the same idea.

- You cheered me up with them. - Mm-hmm.

- So I thought that I could cheer--

[ whispers ] Max got fired.

- Oh. - I did, yeah.

- Oh, man, that sucks.

- Uh, two Cheese--

should it be three?

Why would it be three?

'Cause you've got some in your bag.

Just two. - I think two would be great.

- I have enough. - Yeah!

Back to the original order-- two Cheesequakes, please.

[ phone chimes ]

- Well, I guess I'm gonna go get some donuts...

- Okay. - for the rest of the office.

- Okay. I'll see you there.

- I won't.

'Cause I don't work there anymore.

- [ laughs ]

- Was that funny?

- Sorry about that. - Why?

Simon's pity is exactly what I wanted today.

- So, tell me what happened.

- Well, you saw Ava pull me into her office.

Apparently, unbeknownst to me,

Leif had been sending information

down to the 4th floor,

and it cancelled the whole bake-off, so now...

[ music stops ]

- And then she fired me.

That was it.

Are you still here?

- Yeah. Every single word you said.

I am shocked that Ava would be so--

[ loud crash ] [ patrons gasp ]

- Oh, my God.

Are you all right?

- No! I am so friggin'--

[ guitar riff plays ]

- Hey, fella. I forgot to ask.

How was Vegas? - It was really cool.

It was great to see my mom so content.

And surprisingly, I didn't hate her new husband, either.

So between that and winning

11 bucks at the blackjack table,

I call it a very successful trip.

- I can tell. You're practically glowing.

- Ah, I think, just for the first time in a long time,

feels like that cloud might really be lifting.

- That's great. Just to be clear, though,

you're not expecting any bad news today

and this is, like, you majorly overcompensating, right?

- I don't think so.

Though maybe I should wait to give you...

...this!

- "Tournament of Knights"? - Hell, yeah!

The giant turkey leg and everything.

- Thank you. - Those jousters--brave,

bold, inspiring.

Have a seat.

- Um... [ sighs ]

I wanted to tell you in case you were concerned...

you don't have to be jealous of Max and I or anything.

- Did I seem jealous earlier?

- You were throwing off a little bit of that energy, yeah.

- Well, you weren't wrong. I was jealous. Super jealous.

That's not something I ever

would have admitted that easily before.

Jessica and I, um...

there's a lot that was unsaid between us.

I don't want to make that mistake again.

I--I won't make that mistake again. I...

I am going to try to go the other way from now on.

- I appreciate the honesty.

And the shirt.

I love the t-shirt. - [ laughs ]

- I'm gonna wear this all the time.

- Oh. - Unironically.

- You're welcome. [ laughs ]

- [ gasps ] - You're not fooling anyone.

I know exactly what you did, Simply Red.

- What are you talking about?

And why are you in my office? - Don't do this.

I know that you sent Eddie and I a fake email saying that Gucci

was having a one-morning-only 90% off sale.

So what did I do? I put on this ponytail,

ran all the way down to Gucci and what did I find?

Eddie with his face pressed against the glass

and no sale in sight!

- Okay, fine! I was just

trying to help you with your creative block.

And I think...you still want to be with him, and I--

- You're wrong. I am not interested in Eddie at all.

He does nothing for me and--

[ music stops ]

- Why are you looking at me like that?

- Because we are now two Eddie love songs deep,

and however much you want to deny it,

you're not listening to what your heart's telling you to do

and that seems like the opposite of the Mo that I know.

- You know this whole power of yours?

It's very annoying.

[ phone buzzes ]

[ phone buzzes ] - No, no.

Excuse me. Do you know where Emily Kang's room is?

- No, sorry.

- Zoey. - What's going on?

Is everything okay? - Yeah, yeah, yeah.

- False alarm. Just some normal Braxton-Hicks contractions,

so we're going home.

- Baby's messing with us already, I swear.

He's gonna get a real talking-to when he comes out.

- But the baby's all right? - Yeah.

- Good, 'cause I'm not letting anything happen to that kid,

not today, no way, no how. - Thanks, Zoey.

- Why are you sad right now?

- Oh, I--I don't know. I thought it was gonna happen.

I was excited for Dad to meet the baby, that's all.

- David, did you know there's something

called a nipple shield?

Could be a game-changer!

For my nipples!

- [ groans quietly ]

- It looks scarier than it is.

[ sighs ] But it is extraordinary

how many people it's helped.

Joan? Where's Joan? Joan?

- Danny Michael Davis, uh,

she's just in a meeting in the conference room.

- Oh, great. I often try not to look north.

But I see her now.

- I-I'm Zoey Clarke. I left you a message earlier.

- Yeah, you also sang "Pressure" to me in a room full of people.

I find you charming and disturbing,

like a Pomeranian wearing a tutu.

- Thank you?

Um, anyway, one of our employees, Max Richman,

got fired, I think unfairly

after he moved up to the 6th floor

and I was wondering can I hire him back?

- Do you believe in him?

- Yes! - He loves his mother?

- Yes. - Rocks a mean upright bass?

- Yes.

- Then let's bring him home.

- Thank you.

You won't regret this!

- Tony, have them make me an omelette, hold the eggs.

- And I mean, the outsourcing would bring the cost--

- Joan!

Hello, my children.

- Hi.

- I desperately need to talk to Joan.

And if your heart tells you to stay,

then you stay.

- Danny, I was trying to call you,

but I couldn't find a charger, and, uch...

- Yeah, yeah, no matter. I happened to be

in the Western Hemisphere and thought it would be easier

just to, you know, stop by.

- Cool, cool. Let's just--yeah.

Oh, so, wow!

- So I've recently found myself

in a little bit of trouble with the FCC.

- Oh. - And the SCC.

And possibly the CIA.

There's a pretty good chance that I'm gonna be

going away for a while,

so my question to you is,

would you be willing to run Sprq Point

for the next six months?

Eighteen if they find the hard drive

in my sister's basement.

- Wow. Um...I... [ chuckles ]

Wait, so you want me to take over the entire company?

- Yeah, I admit there's gonna be a lot of press on this,

and the job won't be easy.

There's a board meeting in Singapore on Friday

and I need you to come with for approval.

What do you say?

- I mean, it's gonna be a very complicated deal.

I'm gonna have to talk to my lawyer--of course!

- Before you say anything, let me get this out.

The reason why I broke up with you is because

I'm afraid.

I'm afraid of opening up to you

and telling you how I really feel.

I haven't always been on the receiving side of love,

and it makes me feel like I have to protect myself

and I push people away and nobody should live like that.

So I want to say before it's too late

that I really care about you,

and I'm willing to make this work come hell or high water.

That was a cruise ship joke.

Are you not responding because

you don't want to get back together

or because you don't like my comedy?

Either way it's perfectly--

okay, sailor. Aye, aye.

- So hey, what are you in the mood for?

I think we could do a marathon of Orson Welles films,

or "Sausage Party." I could go either way.

- You pick, but before we get into that...

I need to tell you something.

I got your job back today.

- What? How?

- I talked to Danny Michael Davis,

and I convinced him.

- You did? - Sure did.

So, today isn't so bad after all.

It's actually turning out to be pretty darn good.

- Yeah, that's...incredible. Um, it's just...

I don't want the job back.

- Why not?

- Well, look, I really appreciate it,

but I liked the way it felt

being in charge on the 6th floor.

It made me feel good, and I was good at it.

I just don't want to go backwards, Zoey.

I was actually walking around North Beach today

just thinking, and I realized that

I'm excited about the future, you know?

Diving into the unknown, trying something new.

It might be scary, but-- are you mad?

- No. I...

like seeing this side of you.

- Oh, cool. Well, yeah, I just feel like life is short,

and I'm not sure what--

Why'd you do that?

- 'Cause I felt like it.

- You feel like this?

I'll be right there.

- What was that?

- The bad moon.

It rose.

- Zoey. Can you come in the kitchen

for a moment, please?

- Uh, can you just give me, um, a minute?

- Sure.

- Over the past couple weeks,

Mitch has been decreasing his food and fluid intake

by the day.

He has now completely lost the ability to swallow.

In a matter of hours,

his organs will shut down.

I have a steady supply of morphine

to keep him comfortable.

you can only prepare so much.

- Hey, Max, um...

thanks for calling. I appreciate it.

- [ softly ] Yeah.

- David, do you want to go talk to him?

- I do. Uh...

I have so much I want to ask him and say to him still,

but I don't--I don't want him to see me like this.

- He never held back his emotions.

You shouldn't either.

- Since when did you turn into our spiritual guru?

- Ever since a magical MRI machine changed me forever.

- [ sniffles ]

- Should I stay in here, or...

- No, no. You're my wife, and he loves you.

He'd want to say goodbye.

- Oh, wait. I want to say goodbye to you.

- I'm so sorry, Maggie. - I know.

I'm so glad you were here. Did you get a chance to--

- Yeah, I did, I did.

- Is this when we have the talk about what death is like?

- Depends.

Are you looking for some deep insights from me,

some words of wisdom?

- I'm game if you got 'em.

- Death is hideous, and ugly, and grotesque,

and wildly, wildly unfair.

Or, maybe...

death is beautiful, and spiritual,

and transcendent, and sometimes a very necessary

and very freeing escape from our physical bodies

when they are no longer habitable.

- Which way do you think I should choose to look at it?

- Zoey, if you'd like to go talk to your dad,

I think now would be a good time.

I'm going to try to go another way with this tonight.

I'm doing pretty well at work.

Uh, that guy that I liked

who was engaged now likes me.

Although I did just hook up with my best friend, so...

that complicates things.

Oh, and those big musical numbers I've been hearing?

♪ And them good ole boys were drinking whiskey and rye ♪
