- Yeah.

- Figure that out

Or not.

I don't really worry

Wow.

I have to take off anyway.

You slackers franchise yet?

Yesterday, we met with

Can't wait for him to tell me

come to breakfast tomorrow?

My dad loves you,
and I could use the buffer.

- I'll be there.

- [sighs]
Okay.

- But only because your father
gives me the good floss.

You're probably wondering
why I took today off work.

- No, not really.

- It is because I have decided

to become a rebel, Mo.

- Ah.

The classic rebel phase
at age 29.

Where is all this coming from?

- I was hanging out
with this kid Aiden,

who I knew when I was younger,

and he just lives his life,
consequences be damned,

which is exactly what I need
to be doing more of.

I already told Aiden

Okay--did you make this chair?

Anyway, I thought a lot

about our talk last night,
and you were right.

We give and we give
to the things we love

only to end up feeling empty.

Well, I can't do it anymore.

I need to live my life.

I need to figure out who I am
away from all this.

- Are you thinking, like,
a weekend getaway

or a yoga retreat?

- I'm gonna sell my stake
in the company,

and I am going to live my life.

I'm gonna walk the Earth,
and I am going to climb a tree,

and I am going
to eat jackfruit.

Like my friend Zac Efron did
in his docuseries.

- Danny, you can't
sell the company.

Everyone will lose their jobs.

- Fine. Fine.

Then they will be free like me.

Anyway, I got to go.

Keep changing the world, Zoey.

I don't know
what your last name is.

But I'm gonna learn it.

I am gonna learn
so many things.

[low percussive music]

- It's Clarke.

- I can't believe it.
I broke my boss.

- And that is awful.

But we're not
onto your thing yet.

- I'm just confused.

Everything was going so well,
then out of the blue,

Jenna tells us
she's leaving town tomorrow

and "heading east."

I mean,
what does that even mean?

- I think it's my fault.

There was a problem at work,
and I let Jenna go.

[doorbell rings]
- I'll get that.

- Damn it, I really felt
like Jenna

was headed in the
right direction this time.

- It's just so terrible.

- I know, but what was
I supposed to do?

- No, I'm back on my thing.

I led Danny Michael Davis

down the wrong path.

I mean...

who knew words
were so powerful?

I--I've got to call him.

Except he no longer
carries a phone.

- Hello, everyone.

Maggie, I am returning

the gardening tools
I borrowed for my installation.

- Thank you
for bringing them back.

- So I guess this is goodbye.

- Goodbye.

- Bye, Jenna.

Um, it was really--

well, uh, take care
of yourself?

- Yeah, are you kidding?

- So before y'all drink me
out of house and home,

do you want to tell us
why we're here today?

- So I wanted to

have you all
weigh in on something.

But I'm telling you this
in confidence, okay?

- My phone's in my purse,
I've got my merlot, I'm good.

- All right.
- What's going on?

- Sprqpoint's new tech
isn't recognizing

Black and brown folks,
and my CEO wants to use me

to smooth it all over.

- Shocking that a corporation

with not a single
person of color on its board

would use a Black person
as their shield.

- That is what they do.

I went to a summer camp

for one afternoon
when I was nine,

and I'm still on the brochure.

- [laughs]
- Exactly.

See, they want me
to defend a company

that can't even recognize
its non-white users.

- And this stuff
has consequences.

I did a whole piece
on Black people

being falsely arrested
because AI

misidentifies us
at a much higher rate.

- Did you even know that
there's only two

people of color
in managerial positions

in all of Sprqpoint globally?

No, one.

Because Ava Price left

when Joan got promoted
over her.

So what do I do?

I have to speak about this
publicly tomorrow.

- You quit.

- Mo, it's not--
- Do you really--oh.

So you wanna sit there

and be their mouthpiece

to protect them
from their mistake.

- What does quitting solve,
though?

You just got a huge promotion.
You have a seat at the table.

In a few years, you could
have real power there.

- In a few years.

So in the meantime,
he's supposed to sit there

and be their puppet.

How does that solve anything?

- I am just saying
he should bide his time.

Work your way up,

maybe even get a seat
on that board, too, one day.

Then you can
effect real change.

- Ah, thanks, Sanjay.

Sometimes I worry

I get gummed up in the details.

[both laugh]

- Gummed up is good.
- Hey, Dad.

- Oh, hey, Maxie.

I know I was supposed
to meet you outside,

but you know what happens
when you get

a bunch of dentists together.

- Yeah, yeah, no worries.

You ready to head
to the airport?

- I am, but I've got
some good news

to share with you first.

I am giving you the money
for the restaurant.

- Wait, really?

- Well, you need it,

and I'm lucky to be in a place
where I can give it to you.

- Oh my God. This is amazing.

- Hey, sorry for bleeding
into your panel earlier.

[laughs]

Gingivitis joke.
Try to keep up.

- Dad, you will not
regret this.

As a matter of fact,
given our current projections,

you should see a profit
by the end of the year.

- And yeah, if things don't
go well, I can take the hit.

- Wait, wait. Hold on.

I only want the money
if you truly believe

in the restaurant,
and that you think

that I could pull this off.

- Well, does it matter?

Uh, you--you wanted my support,
and I'm supporting you.

Yeah, uh, actually,
it does matter, Dad.

Because you see,

money and support
are not the same thing.

And the thing is,
I really do believe

in what we're doing,
and I only want people involved

who feel the same way.

- [sighs]

I'm trying, Max.

[stammers] I just don't know
if I can get there yet.

You know what?

You shouldn't have
to try so hard.

Come on, you're gonna
miss your flight.

- Come on, Mom,
you're being stubborn.

You and Jenna
have a special bond.

- Yeah, I thought we did.

Honestly, I'm over it.

- No, you're not.

Don't pretend like
you don't care.

That's not you.

Or me, either.

- So what do you suggest I do?

- I don't know, but do you
really want things

to end like this?

Did you throw out
all the popsicles?

- No, Aiden came over here
a while ago

and asked
if he could have them.

Wondered if we had
jackfruit flavor.

Is that a thing now?

- Ah.

No, it's absolutely not.

Um, I have to go.

[low percussive music]

Yes.

It has been brought
to our attention

that our new
groundbreaking tech, the Chirp,

has a glitch that may
disproportionately affect

its ability to recognize
people of color.

This coding error
has been identified,

and a fix is underway.

But what has not
been fixed is...

Is the environment that led to
this embarrassing oversight.

See, the Chirp couldn't see
Black and brown faces

because there are
no Black and brown people

in positions of power
at the company.

Our leadership is comprised,
overwhelmingly, of white men.

And on a board
of ten directors,

there are only two women,

and zero people of color.

And if we don't start talking
about this now,

nothing is ever
going to change.
