- * MTV *

- I just went through
a really bad breakup,

and I don't know if I could
or should

jump back into bed
with somebody.

- What do you think
about a fall release?

- We'd have to
move quickly, though.

- Oh, good.
I love moving quickly.

- What is happening?

- Are things really over
between you and Charles?

- He's...

free to do
whatever he wants.

- Thanks, Liza.

- I just never thought
you'd be someone's rebound.

- When an employee
doesn't get along

with the boss' new girlfriend,

guess who's out?

[upbeat music]

- Hey.
both: Hi.

* *

- Hey, baby girl.

- Aw, thanks for taking her
on short notice.

- Yes, of course.

We got a light day today,
so we're good.

- So Clare, how is life
with the real estate mogul?

- You mean Rob.
And he's hardly a mogul.

And we split up, so...

- What?
When did that happen?

- [sighs]
Just last week.

- Oh, my God.

I'm so sorry.
Are you okay?

- You didn't wanna say
anything to me?

You know you can
still talk to me, right?

- [coos]
- I'm still your...

- Baby daddy.
- Yeah, I'm--yeah.

- Yeah.
- Mm-hmm.

- [laughs]
Thanks, but I'm fine.

He's a great guy, we're just,
you know, in different places.

Yes, I'm even boring myself
with all this.

Okay.
- [laughs]

- Bye, baby.
Bye.

- Bye.
Go kick some ass today, Mommy.

- [sighs]

- God, that has to be so hard.

Dating as a single mom?

We should take her
out to brunch.

- Oh, Kelsey, brunch is
your answer to everything.

Do you think she really
wants to unload on us?

Just make it a tea.
It's less of a commitment.

- Yeah, I think
she'd love that.

[cell phone dings]
- [gasps]

Oh, no.

No, no. No, no.
This is...this--this is bad.

- Wait. What is happening?
- Use your words.

- Okay, I gotta get to Liza's.

Kels, bring my galleys
to Empirical.

- I am not your assistant.
[door clicks shut]

- [laughs]

- [sighs]

- Good morning, beauty!
- Lauren, what--why?

Maggie!
- Uh-uh, nope.

I sent her on a bagel run.

You're gonna need some carbs.

- [sighs]

[dramatic music]

* *

Okay.

- Yeah, you're looking at me
like I'm the jittery waxer

who just ripped off
your perineum,

and that's fine, okay?
Quinn is coming in

to review the marketing plan
for "The F Word" at 10:00.

And you can either find out
when she saunters in

wearing one of his wrinkled
shirts as a mini dress,

or you can find out
from a friend.

I came as soon as I heard.

- Thanks, friend.

[door clicks open and shut]

- FedEx just dropped off
his-and-her "Gatsby" costumes.

- [sighs]
Those are mine.

My friend Michelle's

Roaring '20s
anniversary party is tonight.

Oh, shit.
- His and hers?

- Charles was supposed to come,

but I guess I'll just
be hanging solo

in a room full
of judgmental couples.

- Liza, no, no, no, no, no.
Say no more.

I'm gonna call my friend
Stefanos, okay?

He staffs bartenders,
cater waiters,

the hottest men
you've ever seen.

Now most of them
are Kinsey-6 gay,

but they will definitely
give you the old grope-a-dope

in front of your PTA friends
if you tip generously.

- Lauren, are these
sex workers or waiters?

- Yes, they are.

- [laughs]
- I'm good.

- * It's about to go down *

* It's about to get loud *

* It's about to go down *

- Thank you all so much

for pulling this together
so quickly.

I really wanna get it out
as soon as possible.

Ooh, can I read them
the new ending?

[quirky music]

- Oh, I'm not sure that--
- He inspired it.

He made a joke that
he was my consolation prize

after the whole senate debacle.

Here, listen to this.

- Um, why don't we save it
for the copy edits?

- Aw, he's so shy.

* *

The gentlest warriors always
carry the biggest swords.

So...
- [laughing crazily]

- Liza.

"Claw" would've been
a much better book

if I had listened
to your notes.

So I'm listening now.

- I'd be happy to.

- Uh, we have some more
editorial notes to review,

but why don't we do that
in my office?

- Of course. And thanks, Liza.

- [quietly] You're so welcome.

- You handled that so much
better than I would

if someone was talking
about my ex's sword

in a meeting.

You do not have
to read that book.

[heavy thud]

- Oh, no.
- [sighs]

- It's well written.

I mean, even if a lot of it
sounds like bullshit.

- Well, it's a book
about failure

written by billionaire.

Of course it's bullshit.

- But these stories
that she tells...

[laughs]
They sound phony.

I mean, is anyone
really going to believe

that Pope Benedict
consulted her

about admitting female clergy?

- Well, Charles is editing
the book.

Maybe we just let him
worry about it.

- Yeah, but he's not
seeing things clearly

because they're--
whatever they are.

- Okay, he's not
seeing things clearly?

- This has nothing
to do with us.

Naomi Wolf's last book
got canceled

when they found out that
it was full of factual errors.

Her publisher lost
a ton of money.

- Quinn has already hired
a third-party fact checker.

- And she's never forged
anything before, has she?

Are we just going to sit by

while the woman who almost
bankrupted our company once

and besmirched our reputation
threatens to do it again?

- [sighs] Okay.

Liza, I want you to know

that I recognize
your passion, okay?

I respect it, and I fear it.

- Okay, ignore her.

Ignore this, okay?

It's Charles's problem now,
not yours.

- [sighs] Okay.

[light music]

And this story
about Elizabeth Warren

telling Quinn she's
one of the good billionaires

is both politically volatile
and provably inaccurate.

Elizabeth Warren
categorically says

the existence of billionaires
is immoral.

Also...

- Liza.

I need to apologize to you

for what happened
in the meeting.

I can't imagine a worse way

for you to find that out.

- I'd already seen it
in "Page Six."

- That's definitely worse.

I'm sorry--
- You know what?

It's none of my business.

Let's just keep it to the book.

Why don't I just fact-check
some of these?

- You're still not sold?

- Quinn is
a controversial author.

People will already be dubious

that she's turned over
a new leaf.

- Okay.

So let me know what you find.

- Great.

I will report any red flags--

for the book.

I meant for the book.

I have gotta go.

I'm a late for a--a thing.
So.

There's a chair.

[upbeat jazz music]

* *

- I'm honestly embarrassed

that I didn't clock this
Rob/Clare breakup thing.

I mean look at her Insta.

Apple picking with Rob,

then Domino Park
with Rob and Gemma.

- Yeah, and then
back on the market hard.

Did we even know that
she could do the splits?

- No.
[laughs]

- Hey, you guys,
can someone grab my coat?

- Uh, why, girl?
You naked in there?

- Uh, n--no.

I just...oh--
- [gasps]

- No, no, no, no, no.
- Yes!

- [gasps]
Hello, gorgeous.

- It's just a costume
for a party

that I maybe shouldn't
even go to.

- Why?
You're single again.

You need to put it on main,
girl.

That's what Clare did.
- Mm-hmm.

- Let the new customers see
what's on the menu

and let the old ones
see what they're missing.

- What is she talking about?
- [laughs]

I'll explain on the way
to the elevator.

Past Charles.

- No, no, I shouldn't do that.

- Yeah, and he shouldn't
have shown up

in "Page Six" with Quinn, okay?

Sashay away.

[rock music]

* *

- * Take a load
off your mind *

* Baby, you're one of a kind *

* *

* Let your individuality
be kind *

- Bye, Charles.
Have a great weekend.

- * Yeah, yeah *

- I'm sorry, which wave
of feminism is this?

- Oh, shut up
and just be petty for once.

- [sighs]
- He's choking on his water.

- Don't look.
- Oh.

- [scoffs]

- * We got it, we got it *

[jazz music playing]

* *

- Liza!

- [laughs]
Hi.

- Ooh, that dress.
- [chuckles]

- I thought you were
just defrauding

that publishing house.

What?
Are you embezzling now too?

[laughs]
I'm just kidding.

Where's Charles?

Oh, no.

Oh, you poor thing.

I knew this would happen.

I read all about
his first marriage.

I did a little
deep Googling.

- It's just Googling
on three glasses of wine.

- Of course he wasn't ready

to commit to anybody.

Oh, you must be devastated.

Are you devastated?

- Actually, he proposed.
- You said no?

- I didn't want
to get married again.

I don't even know
if I believe in it anymore.

It's a flawed system.
- Aw, honey.

You and I can split
a bottle of chards

and rail against
the prison of matrimony

on another night

that isn't my 20th
wedding anniversary party.

- Right.
- Ooh, Denny.

Jules!
Excuse me.

Oh!
You poor thing.

* *

[bumping electronic music]

* *

[glass dinging]

- Hi, hi.
Excuse me.

I just wanted to take a minute
as dean

to welcome all of
our esteemed guests

and thank the artists
who donated

to the silent auction to
benefit our scholarship fund.

- Bored?
- Yep.

- Booze?
- Yep.

- So have a wonderful time,

enjoy the open bar,

please bid early and often,

but not on that piece
by Maggie Amato.

I've already made space
in my den.

Thank you all so much.

[applause]

[chatter]

[light piano music]

- Hi.

* *

Um, you have your eye
on anything tonight?

- Sure do.

- I mean on any pieces.
- I know what you meant.

You are so stunning.

- Hey, did you hear
that name-drop?

You're officially
queen of art prom.

- Aw, the dean's just friends
with my gallerist, that's all.

- And whose friend is she?

[jazzy Broadway music playing]

* *

- Five, six, seven, eight.

And left.
And right.

And step, step, step, step.

Keep those hips square.

It's a Charleston,
not a lap dance.

Hon, do you need
a dance partner?

- Nope, I'm good.

- * Shout hooray
and hallelu! *

* Now me and Mr. Wrong
are through *

* I'll find myself
another beau *

* Who I know
is no rover *

* Forget about the boy *

* Forget about the boy *

* Forget about the boy *

[cheers and applause]

- Liza Miller, is that you?

- Vince?
Hi!

What?
Oh, my goodness.

It's been ages.

- Carpool, ninth grade.

As soon as the girls
could drive,

I was a ghost.
[both laughing]

- Vinny, you made it. [laughs]
- Hey.

- Without a costume
like the invitation required.

- Yeah, well...

- I will go to
the costume chest.

Liza, keep an eye on him.

- [laughs]

- I can't believe Andrea

let you out of the house
without a costume.

- Well, Andrea has
a new husband to dress.

We got a divorce
a few years ago.

- Oh, I'm so sorry.

I didn't know.
I've been in New York.

- I know, I know.
I've heard a lot about you.

- Okay, everyone,
let's Lindy hop!

[jazz music playing]

[both laugh]
- Uh, show me a few moves?

* *

- They're plant-based--
oh, Maggie!

Hey, I had an ulterior motive
for asking you here tonight.

- Is this a lesbian
speed-dating event?

- Don't leave me alone.
- [laughs]

- Listen, we have
an open teaching position

in our visual arts program,
and you are a perfect fit.

- Wha--me?
Really?

- Yes, you, because you've got
decades of experience,

but you're still
making vital work.

You'd mentor our students

and teach them
everything you've learned

being a working artist
in New York.

- She's basically
already doing that for free.

- Well, then let's
get her paid for it.

Come by my office next week.

- Okay.
- Great.

[electronic dance music]

* *

- What a night
for Professor Amato.

- Right?
It doesn't even sound real.

- [laughs]

- It's like a character
in a bad porno.

- Hey, now.

Speaking of bad pornos,

I think I know
how this one's gonna end.

Look, I'm catching
an early train to Philly

to go see KT in the morning,
so...

Be good, Professor Amato.

- You got a light?
- Yeah.

- You seem tense.

- Yeah, well,
it's not really my scene.

- Me either.

These things
are always super boring.

- Well, then what
are we still doing here?

- Good question.

Coming?

[upbeat music]

* *

[jazz music playing]

- I didn't know that you
moved to the city.

I'm so out of the loop.
- Or nobody talks about me.

- Oh, well, they definitely
used to talk about you.

My book-club ladies
called you "hot dad."

- Ooh.

- I pitched "Prince Vince," but
they thought it was too cutesy.

- Is that why Lori Champlin
always "ran out of gas"

at away games?

You know, she tried to kiss me
at homecoming.

- [gasps]
She kissed me at book club.

- So by
the transitive property,

we've already kissed.

- But she didn't kiss you,
so...

- Settle down, Hot Mom.
You know, we'll get there.

* *

- No one called me Hot Mom.

- Well, I did just now.

- Keep dancing.
Don't give up.

- [laughs]

[dreamy music]

- Ugh, the whole night
was like a dream.

A room full of art snobs
gushing over my work,

and then a stranger--I--

but you see
where this is going.

- I do,
and thanks for stopping.

- Well, I mean you had
a great night too.

Are you gonna text Hot Dad?

- Um, maybe.

I mean, it was fun seeing him

and nice to know that a crush
was reciprocated.

You know,
sometimes that's enough.

- Really?
That's enough now?

- I don't know anything
anymore, Maggie.

- Ah, well, I got something

that might be able
to help with that.

My trick left me
a little treat.

I don't know what it does,
but it's French and it's pink.

- [laughs]
Well, it's 8:00 a.m.

It's a little early
for recreational drugs,

and I can't.

I have to fact-check
Quinn's book.

- Fact-check?

You know, I really don't
understand your job.

- [sighs] Neither do I.

* I-I-I-I-I-I *

* Like it, love it, love it *

* I-I-I-I-I-I *

* Like it, love it, ooh *

* Love it! *

- So Aiden, you were Quinn's
assistant for how long?

- Uh, second assistant.

Yeah, I never made it to first.

So I wasn't, like,
interacting with power players.

I was fetching
her birth control.

Getting screamed at
for getting the wrong kind.

- Been there.

It's hard being
someone's assistant.

- Yeah, "Hand-Aiden," that's
what she used to call me--

in front of Melinda Gates;
that was fun.

Sorry, you did not come here
to listen to me complain.

So, uh, what do you need
to kill this book?

- No, no, no.
- Oh, come on.

You can't stand her.
I could tell on the phone.

I can help. I want to.
- I'm not...

I am just trying to verify
a story from her book.

- Okay.

- The one about her divestment
from WeWork

just before they pulled
their IPO.

A lot of pundits hinted that

she was tipped off
by someone inside and bailed.

- That's a dead end.

She never wanted to invest
in that cult,

but the board overruled her,
so she pulled out of the fund

and was the only one
who didn't look like an idiot

when they pulled it.

- So she's telling the truth?
- Yeah.

- Thank you, Aiden.

- Yeah, but, I mean, I'm sure
we can find something

to take her down,
or, hell,

we could make something up.

I mean look what you have--
- Thank you, Aiden.

- Yeah.

[pop music]

- Happy breakup brunch, ladies.
- Yeah.

- Go ahead, Clare.
Let it all out.

- [sighs]

This is really nice
of you guys,

but I'm actually okay.

You know,
it was a mature breakup.

Rob and I are at different
places in our lives,

and we're just, you know,
we're not the right fit.

That's it.

- "A mature breakup"?
I don't know her.

- No, I know, couldn't be me,
but good for you.

- [laughs]
- Well, now I feel bad.

Can we keep day drinking even
though I'm not devastated?

I mean,
I already paid the babysitter.

- Of course, yes, hello.
- Yeah.

- Thank you, and I'm sure
you're exaggerating.

How did you and Zane
end things?

- Oh, he dumped her
over FaceTime

because she got promoted
above him.

- No.
both: Yes!

- Yes, 100.
- Okay.

Oh, my gosh.
Okay.

We're gonna...

Can we--one more?
Thanks.

Okay, start at the beginning.

[phone chatter]

- Yes, Father.
Okay, Father.

Yes, we just wanted
to verify everything

in her book
before we go to print.

[phone chatter]

Yes, she is so great,

isn't she?

Okay.
Okay.

Hail--hail--hail Mary.

Bye-bye.

[cell phone buzzes]

Vince, hi.

- Hey, Hot Mom.

- Oh, I don't think
that name's gonna stick.

Um, how was your Saturday?

- Well, not as good
as my Friday, thanks to you.

So I was thinking,
we're both in the city,

we're both single,

and I have a reservation

in Soho on Monday
and no one to go with.

- That sounds really nice,
actually,

but I should be honest
with you.

I'm not sure I'm ready to be

someone's dance partner
right now.

- That's good,

because I think
I popped my knee out

during the Lindy hop.
- [laughs]

- Listen, I know
you just got out of something.

All I'm looking for is somebody
to sit across from me

at a nice restaurant.

- A dinner buddy.
- Exactly.

You know, anything else
is just icing.

Do you do icing?

You know, I should really learn
your dietary restrictions

if we're gonna be
dinner buddies.

- Yes.

- What?
To dinner or to the icing?

- Let's just start with dinner.
- [laughs] Okay.

I'll text you the details,

and I will see you Monday...
buddy.

- Okay.

- * You know
I've been hungry *

* Help me feed my hunger *

* Baby, can we hurry? *

* I can't wait much longer *

* And we're not getting
younger, younger *

[upbeat music]

- So it's two classes per week,

a session of office hours,

and individual critiques
at the end of the term,

and this is your salary
plus medical and dental.

- Fantastic!

You know, I've never had
dental insurance in my life.

- So you'll think about it?

- There's nothing
to think about

except which crown
I'm replacing.

Uh, where do I sign?

- Well, we'll finalize
the long-form contracts,

but we can get your paperwork
started now.

[knocking]

Hey, there she is.

Maggie, this my wife, Kamila.

- How are you, sweet pea?
- Hi, love.

[quirky music]

- I remember you.

- Um, you do?

- You bid on her painting,
right, babe?

- I did, I did, and we're gonna
be seeing a lot more of her

'cause she's teaching here
now.

- That's terrific news.

* *

Welcome to the family.

- Thanks.

- So why were Clare
and Lauren kissing

on Instagram Stories
this weekend?

- We had a breakup brunch

which Lauren tried to turn into
a make-out dinner.

- Oh.

- But we're over our exes,
so it all worked out.

[both chuckle]

- Liza, thank you so much
for your notes.

They were as smart
and incisive as I'd hoped.

- Just doing my job.

- Yeah, that's what
I'm trying to do too.

So I hope we can put the past
in the past and move on.

- Mm-hmm.

Should I forward the notes
to Charles?

- Oh, no, I can show him
tonight at dinner.

- Great.
[cell phone buzzing]

- Oh--oh, God, it's Pelosi.

I gotta take this.
Hey, girl.

[laughs]

- Are you okay?

- Yeah, I just gotta get used
to her being around.

Better to have her as an ally
than an enemy, right?

- Yeah, definitely better
as an ally.

[upbeat music]

* *

[both laughing]

- Okay, they called me
"Legs-a Miller"?

- Yes.
- That is so stupid.

- [laughs]
Well, look, it's no Hot Dad,

but what do you expect

from a bunch of suburban
mortgage brokers?

[laughs]

I used to have

such a crush on you.

Is that okay to say
on a first date?

- It's not a date, buddy.

Besides, I think I'm undatable.

- You are many things,

but undatable
isn't one of them.

- So since it's not a date,

can I ask how you
and Andrea are doing?

- We're friendly.

My divorce was probably
a lot like yours.

- Oh, so you cheated on her

and lost all your savings
playing blackjack in Bayonne?

- Yikes.
Not that. [chuckles]

I just mean that
we were married pretty young,

and, um, I've been married
most of my adult life.

And so when it ended,

I finally had to ask myself
who I really was.

* *

- And who were you?

- Well, I was a person

who grew up
with miserable parents.

- Hmm.

- And then my own relationships

were not great,

but as long as
I was successful,

I could convince myself

that a partner was a liability
that I didn't want.

- All I ever really wanted
was a family,

a house, a wife, kids.

Do you know how much pressure
that puts on a marriage?

- I do,

and I know
how destabilizing it is

when you put
all your chips on something,

and it doesn't work out.
- [scoffs]

- Your whole life,
a really good life,

just vaporizes.

And for the first time
in your life,

you're just alone.

- I never minded being alone.

But then when
my senate race exploded,

I looked around.

I realized that I didn't have
any people in my life.

Only employees.
- [chuckles]

- And then when I bumped
into you in Chicago,

I can't even say it was
a feeling I had missed.

Because honestly,

I don't know
if I'd ever felt it before.

- I've never felt older

than on dates
with younger women.

- [laughs] Why?

- I mean, seriously,
there's only so many times

that you can say, "Wow,"
to a TikTok dance challenge,

you know?

- And most people our age

are so terrified
of ending up alone

that they just wanna
lock something down.

- So why don't you?

- I just got to a place where
my life can surprise me again.

- I hate surprises.

Always have.

I like stability.

I just don't feel like I should
have to apologize for that.

- No.

Look, in my experience,

when you know what you want,

you don't apologize for it.

- Hmm.

- You go for it.

- Well,

then it's lucky
that we found each other.

- Do you know how lucky we are
to have found each other?

Seriously.

You're a unicorn.

Most women, when I tell them

I don't want to get married
again, they get so upset.

But you're over it.

No rings, no strings.

Next time, we don't even
have to get dinner.

[laughs]
Buddy.

- I want dinner, Vince.

- Yeah.
Good.

Okay, yeah, me too.

- I want a relationship.

I don't--I don't want to be
sleeping around forever.

That sounds exhausting.
- Okay.

- I want a partner.

I want to share my life
with someone.

I just don't wanna
move into his house

and become his wife

and have my life
revolve around his.

I mean, why is that so hard
for him to understand?

- I'm sorry, who?

- My ex who proposed to me
out of nowhere

at someone else's wedding.

- And you said no, or--

why?

Like, it sounds like
that's what you wanted,

so why couldn't you
just get married?

- Why couldn't he
just not get married?

Why did he have to throw
everything away over semantics?

Why does he get
to decide it's over

just because he didn't get
what he wanted?

- So you're still
in love with him?

- Of course I'm still
in love with him!

And I blew it--or he did
or we both did

or it doesn't matter
because it's over,

and he's moved on, and I'm in
Soho at some hot new restaurant

with a dinner buddy
because I'm what?

[inhales sharply]

- Hi, this is Liza.

- Hi, Liza, this is Ayanna
Williams returning your call.

I was Quinn Tyler's consultant
in the California primary.

- Right.
Hi, Ayanna.

I am with her publisher.

I was just calling
to fact-check something

for her new book,
but I think we're all set.

- Another book?

At least I don't
have to read it.

What is it about?

- Failure.
It's called "The F Word."

- That's smart.
It makes her look relatable.

That was always one
of her biggest negatives.

Not the only one though.

- What did you do
for her campaign?

- Oppo research.

I was supposed
to expose the flaws

in her candidacy
so she could fix that.

- What were her flaws,
if I can ask?

- People thought she was cold,

a little condescending,
elitist.

- Mmm.
- But the biggest one--

and this is so stupid and
patriarchal I could scream--

was that she wasn't married.

People couldn't
reconcile that.

- How was she
supposed to fix that?

- I literally told her

to find a guy with kind eyes
and a strong jawline

to stand next her,

and she would jump ten points
in the polls.

15 if the guy
had a normal-looking kid.

- Really?

And how did she take that?

- Not well,

but she ate it pretty hard
in that senate race.

So if she runs again--
when she runs again;

there are already rumors
she wants to be governor--

I think she'd suck it up
and do it.

- Do what?

- Recruit a discount Kennedy

to walk her across
the finish line.

- * Lies, lies *

- Thanks for getting back
to me.

- No problem.

- * They taste like honey *

* Deceive your eyes *

* Ooh *

* It's all just fun again *

* Yay *

- As someone who's
gone head-to-head with Quinn,

trust me,
there's no winning or losing.

There's just hangovers.

- Why does Josh
have all this baby stuff?

- You still haven't told her
about your offspring?

- It's not like
I haven't tried.

- I just want
what's best for you.

- You've got the wrong idea,
Liza.

- You set me up.

- I mean, lucky for us,
sex sells.

- Do you think
we can pull this off?

- I have no idea.

- If I would've
said something sooner,

would it have made
a difference?
