Previously on
The L Word: Generation Q...

[Micah] Cheating is
a deal breaker for Dani.

-You have to tell her.
-[Sophie] I will.

-When?
-I don't know.

[Tess]
Everyone knows why we're here.

It's no-limit Texas hold 'em.

You tried to fuck my wife.
You got to get the fuck

out of here and never come back.

[Isaac]
I'm behind the curve.

So I will meet
your salary demands.

I wish I could come
to the wedding with you.

I'm gonna leave him soon.
It's just...

it takes time to get out
of a marriage.

[Alice]
They love the book.

Oh, my God. Holy shit.

Oh, more good news.
I spoke to Finley.

I said we both missed her
and she...

Wait, you did what?

Oh, fuck.
That's Tina, my ex, Carrie,

-her fiancée.
-Come here.

staccato, energetic music

This is my girlfriend Alice.
Marissa was just telling me

about her husband
and her girlfriend.

You know, she actually
brought up something

-kind of interesting--
-Did she?

[minister] Thank you all
for joining us as we celebrate

Dani and Sophie.

-Hello?
-[Sophie] Oh, shit.

-I love you.
-[people gasping]

-Pretty sure you love me, too.
-Sophie, w-what's going on?

[gasping]
I...

-[footsteps]
-[panting]

[Sophie]
I-I am so, so, s-so sorry.

When did it happen?

-Don't answer that.
-[bag unzips]

Were you ever gonna tell me?

Or were you gonna
let me marry you, have kids,

sit across from you and Finley
at Thanksgiving dinner?

I wanted to tell you. I w--

-But what?
-But I was scared that--

-Of what?
-It was a one-time thing.

-One time--
-I don't give a shit how many

-times you slept together.
-I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

-Just stop talking.
-Okay.

Nothing that you say
will make this okay, ever.

Ever.

Who knew?

Tell me who knew.

Did everyone know but me?

-[people murmuring]
-Oh, fuck.

Um...

Oh, God. Sorry.

-Um...
-[Shane] Oh, come on, Finley.

-Jesus Christ.
-Oh, she looks

like a little kitten
on a highway.

-Oh, my God.
-Okay.

-Hi.
-That was bad, huh?

Well, it wasn't
your greatest moment.

Um, do you want me
to get you out of here?

-I got to go find Sophie.
-I could-- Oh.

Micah! Micah, just wait!

I think that was the most
selfish thing I've ever seen.

Thanks so much
for making me your plus-one.

Um... Is she drunk?

I cannot believe
you just did that.

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to ruin
everything. It was like...

What did you think
was gonna happen?

I don't know.
I thought, I thought

-it's what Sophie wanted.
-N-No, just--

Don't follow me.

pulsing, suspenseful music

[sighs heavily]

-Was it in our house?
-[Sophie] What?

Did you fuck her in our bed?

No. I would never do that.

Good to know
where you draw the line.

Dani, please. Look at me. Dani--

I have been nothing
but good to you.

It was a mistake.
It's a horrible--

Do not come any closer to me.

I swear to God.
[panting]

I never want to see you again.

Is that clear?

You're fucking disgusting.

-You knew.
-[Micah] I...

[Finley] Dude, I know
you must hate me right now,

but I am so, so sorry, I--
Oh, God.

[grunts]
Fuck!

Kick the door, baby,
oublier ma porte

J'ai venu sans doute,
viens me prendre pleine

Kick the door, baby,
oublier ma porte...

[Nana] Ay, mijita.
Me puede hacer daño.

[Maribel] Porque tengo razón.
Porque tengo razón.

[Nana]
Ay, ay. ay. I don't know what

we are going to do
with all this food.

-[Virginia] Well...
-Es un desperdicio.

[Virginia] I know. I know.
I tried to give some

to the guests, but I guess,
you know, I guess they lost

-their appetites.
-[Nana] A los vecinos...

[Dani] [over phone]
Hey, it's Dani. Leave a message.

[Maribel] Man, I can't believe
Dani punched Finley in the face.

-I would.
-[Nana] If my knees were better,

yo misma le hubiera
dado sus cachetadas.

Dani's still not answering
any of my calls.

Give her time.
She'll come around.

-Or she won't.
-Nobody fucking asked you.

-Hey!
-All right?

-You're just like Dad.
-[Sophie] What?!

-What did you just say to me?
-You should've told her.

Really? And what the fuck
do you know about it?

-Ey, no hables así.
-No, tell me! Go ahead. Say it.

I know you don't seem sorry.

How can I seem sorry to you?

-Go. Go away.
-Parenle. Parenle.

I'm leaving. I'm leaving.

-Me voy. Me voy.
-[Sophie] Jesus.

Que barbaridad con ustedes.

Let me, let me ask you
one thing.

Please. Please don't
make me cry right now.

Finley showed up at your wedding
thinking it would work.

Why does she think that?

I don't know.

I don't know
why she would do that.

Do you love her?

I love Dani.

Okay.

soft, slow music

Well, let's see
if she'll take you back.

I got to go check
the chicken, okay?

[Alice] You know what
the weird thing is?

I don't even think
Finley's seen The Graduate.

Neither have I, actually.

Well, yeah, me, neither,
but I get it, you know?

-Mm-hmm.
-Oh, God.

Do you think it was my fault?

'Cause I'm, like,
the one who called Finley

-and asked her to come back.
-No.

Oh, my God, of course not.

No.

Do you think if Sophie
had talked to Dani before,

and just had been honest
about being attracted to Finley,

that maybe Dani
would have been okay with it?

Are you kidding?

Well, I don't know.
I mean, I have a lot of clients

who have sex outside
the primary relationship.

Monogamy's not for everyone.

Well, it's for most people.
Except the bad ones.

[sniffles]

Just, I think open communication
is just so important.

Well, there's nothing to
communicate if you don't cheat.

Right. Yeah, you're right.

Oh.

What did you want to tell me?

Oh.

Yeah, I mean-- it was nothing.

I forgot to brush my teeth.

That's hard to believe,
with all that hummus

you were housing earlier.

-[faucet squeaks]
-[water running]

[Nat crying softly]

soft, somber music

-[faucet squeaks]
-[water stops]

[Nat continues crying softly]

Nat?

Are you crying?

No.

[chuckles]
No, I j-- I just, um...

choked on some toothpaste.

-[faucet squeaks]
-[water running]

Okay.

[sighs]

[line ringing]

[phone buzzing]

[groans]

[phone chimes]

[sighs]

[Sophie] [over phone]
Hey. Um...

It's me, again.

Look, I... I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. I know I fucked up.

I... I left you something
on your dad's porch.

Just please,
please call me back.

I love you. Bye.

Are we on the same page,
yeah

We ain't making it to church

I want you
on your worst behavior

Got you begging
to be saved, yeah

You better say your prayers

'Cause, baby, you know
why we came here...

[toilet flushes]

[doorbell rings]

-Can you get that?
-Of course.

-[door opens]
-Hi. Can I help you?

[Bette]
Bette Porter for Dani.

-[Dani] Let her in.
-Welcome.

[Bette]
Thank you.

Hi.

-[Dani] Hi.
-[door closes]

It's Tartine. Your favorite.

You really didn't
need to do that.

Just take it.

Look, if you don't tell
your dad it's from me,

he might actually eat it.

Okay.

You know, when Tina left,
I used to hate it

when people would say,
"How are you doing?"

-So I won't bother with...
-I'm fine.

You will be.

No, I'm fine now.

It happened.
I should have seen it coming.

Okay.

You off to work?

-First day.
-I won't keep you.

You know, if you need anything,

I am here for you, always.

Thank you, but I'm-I'm fine.

-Okay.
-Have a great first day and...

-thanks again for the food.
-Okay.

[door opens]

-Hi.
-[Shane] Hey.

[Tess] Eddie blackballed me
from every game in town.

-Really?
-Yeah. [scoffs]

Does that mean you're available?

Am I available?
What, like, for work?

Oh, yeah. I'm available.

I'm wide open. What the fuck?

pulsing, upbeat music

What's wrong?

What am I looking at here?

Look, those aren't great chips,

but that's the best
I could do on such short notice.

[chuckles] Um,
what's happening right now?

Uh, well, now,
now we just got to figure out

-who we want to invite.
-To what?

Our poker game.

-Oh, Shane.
-Yeah, I made a list,

and it's not completed,

'cause I need you to add to it
since we're gonna be partners.

-Oh, we are?
-Yeah.

-[laughs softly]
-It's my spot but you host.

You keep the tips
and I keep what I win.

It's easy.

I want to say yes.

-Good. Then say it.
-I can't.

-Why?
-[chuckles]

I don't really know
how to say this. [sighs]

-Say it.
-You're not discreet.

I can be.

I brought you to one game,

-one time--
-Oh, come on.

I didn't realize
she was Eddie's wife.

She should've come
with a warning label.

I know, but trouble follows you.

I just don't think
that I can take

this kind of a risk...

-All right.
-...with you.

All right.

[phone ringing]

I'm gonna get the phone.

slow, somber music

-[Maribel] One positive?
-[door opens]

We get to send this trivet back.

-Hmm.
-Wow, this is awful.

Can I help?

-Mm.
-No.

Yeah, probably not cool
to pack the gifts

of the wedding I ruined.
Cool, awesome.

I'm gonna sit this one out.

Right.

[phone buzzing]

[Maribel] So, is that lover boy
blowing you up?

No. "Scam Likely."
[chuckles]

Okay, boo.

He's still married, right?

[liquid pouring]

[stammering]
Uh...

-You're the Finley.
-[chuckles] No, I'm not.

[Micah] No, I-I didn't know
Scott even existed.

But you do, now, so...

[scoffs]
Look, is there, like,

a whisk somewhere
or something? Just...

-Yeah.
-Here, let me, I can...

I'll tell you
if I can't do something.

We still talking
about ruining marriages?

-Yep.
-Great. I'm gonna go vomit.

Have a good day, everybody.

[Alice]
Another salad. No, no, no.

[hums]
What's the soup of the day?

Oh, it's just the soup
that they have for today.

Sometimes it's tomato
or veggie or clam chowder.

I'll just have a green juice.

Right away.

-Morning.
-Oh, hey.

You're here. That's-- You're--
I'm sorry you're here.

But I'm glad you're here.

Oh. Wasn't gonna go
on my honeymoon alone.

Right. Yeah.
That would be weird.

-Yep.
-[Finley] Hey, boss.

[laughs]
Oh, hey. Hey, hey.

You're here, too. That's...

-Yeah. You told me to come in.
-Uh-huh.

But I can go if, um... you know.

Yeah, no. I-I, um...

atmospheric, upbeat music

By the way, the soup of the day
is seafood bisque.

Oh, I'm so glad you're back.

-Yeah?
-Yeah.

We can do this. I can do this.

-Yeah, right?
-We can all do this. Yeah.

-Eye of the tiger.
-Okay. We're back.

-Come here.
-Okay. [groans] That's...

Oh, I missed you.

-We're doing all this.
-I really missed you.

I missed you, too. Okay.

-Good to see you.
-I hope that wasn't an HR thing.

Um...

[sighs] You know,
I asked Finley to come back

before I knew you two were...
you know.

Uh, sure. Sure.

-Is it gonna be a problem?
-Um...

Yeah. Of course.

Um, no, no, no. No.
[chuckles]

It's not. My personal life
will not get in the way at work.

Can we be friends for a minute?

Alice, please don't be nice
to me right now.

I'm a breath away
from a breakdown.

Okay. You got it.

Just let me know if you need
any help with anything.

I'm here.

Um, well, actually, I was, uh,

thinking you might be able
to give me something

to distract me.

Like what?

Like that segment producer gig.

I want it. I can do it.

Are you sure that's a good idea?

[voice breaks]
I need it, Alice.

All right. I'll think about it.

Thank you.

Mmm. I'm glad Finley's back,
though, because...

Okay. That's bad to say?

It's... All right.

[dog barking in distance]

Hey.

What's up?
Did you get my message?

You're never gonna leave him,
are you?

I think we should talk.

I just, I can't do it
right here.

No, let's do this here.

I can't, Micah.
He's right inside.

I never want to make anyone feel
the way Dani feels right now.

Not, not even your husband.

How fucking dare you
make me think about Scott?

You should be thinking
about him, not me.

Of course I'm thinking about
him, Micah. He's my husband.

But I'm also thinking about you.

It's a lot more complicated
than that.

I didn't expect
to feel this way.

Neither did I, you know?
But at least I never pretended

to be someone I'm not,
all right?

I never lied to you. Not...

-Not even about the hard stuff.
-I never lied to you.

I meant everything
that I said to you.

You're lying right now. You...

You are a fundamentally
dishonest person.

slow, somber music

Everything okay?

Yeah. We're just... catching up.

-Hmm.
-You remember my friend Micah?

[Scott]
Yeah. Of course.

Fuck you, man.
[scoffs]

I think we can beat
that joke, Allie.

-[Allie] Copy.
-Yeah. All right.

[Alice] Okay.

It could be funnier...

Mm. Oh, hey.

What do you think?
It's not so funny, right?

-Mm-hmm.
-I think it could be better.

[Alice]
Can I help you?

Uh, yeah. They just nodded me
in this direction

when I asked for you.
I'm Tom Maultsby?

-Tom... The editor.
-Yes.

-My editor. Hi. Come on in.
-Hi. How are you? Okay.

I'm great. Well, I'm glad
you weren't Tom the stalker...

-No. [laughs]
-...considering they just

-let you on in there.
-[chuckles]

Do you need anything?
Do you need water, coffee?

-Gum.
-Gum?

Yeah. I had tacos for lunch,
and although I brushed,

I am very aware
of a lingering onion flavor.

Okay. I-- yeah.
There must be gum here.

Oh, great. Hey, do we have gum?

Uh, gum. Yeah, yeah.
We got, uh, we got gum.

We got gum in the kitchen.
I can, um...

-Okay.
-Yeah. Uh, ju-- three seconds.

-Huh? Yeah?
-Okay. Tom? Tom?

-[Tom] Hmm?
-Yeah. So, uh...

-That was odd. That was so odd.
-Yeah.

I mean, I'm not odd.
I'm not boring, either,

-but I'm-I'm definitely not odd.
-Okay.

I got to be honest with you,
a-a person in my line of work

doesn't ever come
to big studios like this,

-Oh.
-so this is really cool,

-Yeah.
-but it's also intimidating.

Yeah, when I first--
Oh. Tom? Tom?

Yeah. This way. Uh, yeah.

So, the... so, the book.
Um, I'm glad everyone loves it.

Yeah, well, they loved
that you handed in

-that draft, right?
-Yeah. Uh-huh.

'Cause now we got some material.

-Okay.
-And with that material,

we can get in there.

-Get in there? And?
-Yeah.

Okay, first off,
this is gonna be great.

You are hilarious, okay?

-Yeah, okay.
-Um...

That story about your mom
taking your I.D.

-to get on the dating show...
-Oh, yeah.

...because she aged out?
That's so funny.

-That's hilarious.
-Well, yeah.

That was a gateway to some
more criminal identity theft

that ruined my credit,
but yeah, it's funny now.

-Alice, which shirt?
-Oh, uh--

-the one on the right.
-Okay.

-Yeah. This way.
-Yeah, that... But t-that...

that's what I'm talking about.

Combining humor with pathos.

I like to think of myself
as your guru of texture.

-Texture.
-Yeah. A bit of heart.

Do you think my writing
is heartless?

-No. No, no. That's-- No.
-Huh.

That's not what I--
that's not what I meant.

I... I just want to rework
some things with you

and, uh, get you
to dig a little deeper.

So, more writing to replace
the other writing.

Well, they say
writing is rewriting.

I know that one.
I say that to my writers

when I want a different joke.

Okay.

Most impressive.

Wow. It's like...

So, the book. Back to the book.

Can I take a whole pack?

-Well, maybe just...
-Just...

-You cool with that? And this?
-The book?

Right. Okay. So...

I've done
a lot of these celebrity books.

-Oh.
-And the ones

that are really successful
are the ones where the readers

feel like they're getting
to know you in a way

no one else does.

-So we know you're funny.
-Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

Now we want to know what it felt
like the day your dad left.

Oh, you know what?
I am getting the onion, now.

I can handle that.

We want to know how you and your
girlfriend weather the storm.

Uh, we watch House Hunters.

Hey. You need gum? I got gum.

No, I got the gum. Look at this.

-[sighs]
-I got the gum.

-You did that?
-Yeah. You saw that?

-That's what I'm talking about.
-[both laugh]

-Tom.
-Finley. I like him.

-Tom? -Sorr-- Yeah.
-Hey.

Sorry.

Listen, I don't want to break

-what you've already built.
-Okay.

I just want to make it stronger.

You up for that?

Well, I mean, to... [stammers]
I'm starting to feel like

I don't really have a choice.
[chuckles]

Great.

Then you can read my notes.

Mostly LOLs.

I did, however, uh,
misplace a Post-It

with my allergist's number
on it.

It says "Dr. Sneeze."
That's not his name.

But I got a sinus issue
that I got to take care of,

so, if you find it,
please just hand it my way.

upbeat, contemplative music

I'm excited for us.

[siren wailing in distance]

[Bette]
I fell in love

with your 2016
light installation downtown.

[Kismet]
You know, when I learned

that a Black man created
the filament system,

I knew I had to create something
that was gonna honor him.

Well, thanks to you,
I-I think of Lewis Latimer

every time
I turn on a light switch.

Good, I'm glad.

-Can I get you anything? Water?
-I'm okay.

You know, our young people,
they need to understand

that we've always been here
doing incredible things.

Yeah. Well, that's why I want to
help you reach a wider audience.

I don't, I don't need
the sales pitch, okay?

It's not a sales pitch.
It's the truth.

Look, I want to work with you.
No question.

I know who you are,
I know what you stand for.

-But-but your boss?
-[sighs]

I know. Look, I want
to make lasting changes

in the art world, and this
is the place to do it from.

Yeah, I know that I can
change the system from within,

but only if artists
of your caliber sign with me.

-We can move mountains, Kismet.
-[door opens]

[Isaac]
I am so sorry to be late.

[Bette] [chuckles] No, no.
You're right on time.

-Yeah, it's such an honor.
-Kismet Russell, Isaac Zakarian.

[Isaac]
This is such an honor for me.

How you doing?
I'm-I'm sure I won't

-live up to the hype.
-Oh, no. You already have.

Your work is, it's tremendous.

Thank you. Thank you very much.

Now, there is something
I am dying to know.

-[Kismet] Yeah. Fire away.
-Okay.

[Isaac]
Your installation

in 2016, it showed
at the exact same time

that Kerry James Marshall's
Curtain Girl came out.

Now, I've always thought
that your work was related.

Am I right, or is that just
a coincidence, or... what?

[Kismet] [chuckles]
You know,

-that was not coordinated...
-[both chuckle]

...but Marshall is my hero,
and I do, I do believe

that we are connected.

Uh, whether it be
through our legacy,

our shared ancestry,

something just keeps us tied,
you know?

Yeah, yeah.
You know, back in the day,

I had the opportunity
to-to show Kerry,

and I passed because...

I just felt, at the time,
you know, he wasn't ready.

But man, oh, man,

what I wouldn't give to get him
back here now, though.

Right?
[chuckles]

Kismet, we know that
you've never had a gallery--

Well, he's never needed one.

[laughs] Sorry. I read
that New York Times article.

-Go ahead.
-Yeah.

Well, look, if you work with us,

I will see to it personally
that you will never again

have to wait seven years
to fund one of your projects.

Ooh, I see you know where to
hit me where it hurts, huh?

-[chuckles]
-[Isaac] And better yet,

you sign with us,

everyone's gonna know your name.

gentle, intriguing music

This is gonna be a google.

Oh, hey.

You don't need to do that.

Oh, no, it's no trouble.

I'm just organizing
the wish list of guests

into, uh, different categories.

You know, like, politicians,
and then,

miscellaneous pile over here.

-No, really. It's okay.
-Well, I got the time.

I already filled up a bunch
of candy jars and threw out,

like, 12 expired yogurts
in Alice's fridge.

You know, they didn't taste off,

but they, uh, kind of
smelled funky, so...

You tried all 12 yogurts?

Yeah. You can't let go
of a good 'gurt.

[laughs softly]

You're so stupid.

Hey, is your grandma,
like, mad at me?

I will take that as a yes.

You should ice that.

Well, I sort of
was gonna keep it around,

'cause I got it
defending your honor, so...

Don't do that.

-Do what?
-Don't make jokes.

-It's not funny.
-[laughs] Okay, well,

what do you want me to do here?

I want you to feel bad.

I want you to feel
just as bad as I do, right--

Hold on, you don't think
I feel bad?

Oh, no, yeah,
I know that you do.

You feel bad for yourself,
you feel bad for my grandma.

Fuck, I bet you feel bad
for Dani.

Of course I fucking
feel bad for Dani.

And what about me?!

[stammers]

[distant]
You hurt me!

Um, you could go
for a cocktail after.

You hurt me

so bad.

Come on. You weren't happy.

I... yes, I was.

I was happy.

-All right.
-I didn't even want you there!

I don't want you here.

I never wanted you here.

I got to call you back.

-Okay, bye.
-[phone beeps]

Okay, that was
the furthest thing

-from professional.
-I know, I'm sorry.

-Me, too.
-It won't happen again.

I know lesbians.
I know a lot of lesbians,

and drama has a way
of sticking around.

I'll go.

-What?
-Yeah. I'll go, obviously.

You two need each other, and I--

well, this is all my fault,
anyway, so...

Really, it's a no-brainer.
I'll go.

[sighs]

[Alice]
Okay.

Thank you for everything, Alice.

Finley, you're good.

I really loved
working on your show.

I loved having you.

Yeah, you should... Security
will want you to leave that.

And, um,

I'll teach Hugo
how to make your coffee.

[Alice]
Well, that would be really nice.

[door opens]

Hey, Hugo Boss. Coffee.

What did he say, exactly?

[Bette]
He told an emerging Black artist

that his hero,
Kerry James Marshall,

wasn't on the Zakarian roster
because he wasn't ready.

I mean, I don't even know
who that is

and I can still see
the thinly-veiled racism.

It's disgusting.

Kismet's work
is just so important,

and I know that I could help
take him to the next level.

I just, I just don't see a world
in which he signs with Isaac.

Can't you just sign him

and guarantee
he'll exclusively work with you?

Maybe.

But then where does
that leave me?

I mean, I still have
to work with Zakarian.

Hmm.

At least he's paying you
an insane amount of money.

[both chuckle]

He's just using me.

Use him back.

Get yours.

I don't know if it's worth it.

You know, I don't,
I don't think I'm cut out

for selling my soul.

[sighs]

You just need to get clear
on what you want in return.

[laughs softly]

What do you want?

[exhales sharply]

[laughs softly]

You want this?

"Feelings" by Clay

I know you're getting tired

Tired of the way I

Tired of the way I...

Wait.

I cry when I'm happy,
I laugh when I'm sad

I don't know which way's up
and sometimes I get mad

Get angry for no reason,
no rhyme

No matter what
the season or the time

Feelings

Can't control my

Can't get ahold of

Caught up in my feelings

Dripping over

Keep tripping over

Caught up in my feelings

Feelings, feelings

Feelings taking over me...

[whispers]
You want this?

Yes.

Try to make me into

Can't you see I'm

It's not that I'm crazy,
I just feel a lot

I don't know which way's up

And sometimes I run hot

Get angry for no reason,
no rhyme

No matter what the season
or the time

Feelings,
can't control my...

You want this?

Uh-uh. Answer me.

[panting]
Yes.

Dripping over,
keep tripping over

Caught up in my feelings,
feelings, feelings

Feelings taking over me

Swimming in the lonely sea
of feelings...

[Alice]
Well, Finley walked out on me,

my editor told me
my book was shit,

so I'm feeling really... hmm.

[woman] [over video] It's
10 p.m. Why are you suddenly...

[quietly] ...feeling really
good about myself.

[woman 2]
It's Jeff?

[woman]
Mmm-hmm. He hit you?

-My God. Again?
-I-I...

Just stop being a cop
for a second, okay?

[woman]
Okay.

slow, solemn music

[phone buzzes]

[phone clicks]

What are you doing?

[gasps]
I wanted to play FarmVille.

Oh. My code's your birthday.

And don't sell my cows.

-[sighs]
-[phone clicks]

Look, I pushed Quiara away,

and I had to realize
that I couldn't change her

and she couldn't change me.

But I don't want
to change Sophie.

Yeah, I know. I know. What...

What I'm saying is, you just,
you got to give yourself

some time to grieve
and find some clarity,

-because things will get better.
-When?

Soon.

-Maybe never, I don't know.
-What?

Oh, my God. Okay.
Do you mind if I try?

Yes, please. God.

I think what Shane
is trying to say

is that we tend to get stuck

in certain patterns
until we meet the person

that we're meant
to be with, right?

And then, when you do,
you can end the cycle.

I mean, that's
what we're all in it for.

Thank you. That's exactly
what I was trying to say.

But... Okay, I came back

because I...

I love Sophie, and I think
I have for a really long time,

and I just, like--
It does make sense.

Like, when we're together, like,
when we hooked up, it...

works.

And then she was gonna
marry Dani, so I, like...

It was like fight or flight,

so I fled, I went home,
I got my shit together.

I stopped drinking,
cleared my head.

I thought I understood
what was going on,

but then, when Alice called

and was like,
"Sophie misses you,"

I thought I actually had a shot.

-[Shane] Fucking Alice.
-Like...

-[laughs]
-It's not her fault.

Ah, I-I've known her
for a long time.

-It kind of is. It's true.
-Listen, I think

the important thing, right now,
is w-where are you gonna live?

I mean, you can't stay
in that house, right?

Yeah, probably shouldn't.

Can I just defend myself
for a second?

I-I knew the wedding
was that day,

but I thought it was later,
like, at night.

Like-- I didn't think
I was walking into the actual,

real wedding, in a hat.

Walked in in a fucking hat.

-I know. We were there.
-[stammers]

-[exhales sharply]
-We saw.

[laughs softly]

I just...

I thought I was
finally doing the right thing.

[laughs]
Yeah. I'm an idiot.

I should've never come back.

I don't even have a job anymore.

I literally had to quit my job.

[Shane]
Eh, you can work here.

Really?

Of course. Yeah.

[Shane]
And, look, I'm proud of you.

Why?

soft, contemplative music

You spoke your truth.

It's not easy to do.

-Not many people can do it.
-[grunts softly]

[crying]
I got to pee.

-It's okay.
-[grunts]

Poor kid.

All right, I...

What? What?

No, nothing. Um...

that was just
surprisingly sweet.

[door opens]

-Hey.
-[Micah] Hey.

-What you doing?
-Dani's dad asked me

-to bring her some things, so...
-Yeah?

Any boxing gloves in there?

'Cause I could use
a lighter touch next time.

-[sighs]
-[laughs]

Come on, that was funny.

[sighs]

[sighs] Hey, for what
it's worth, I, like, know

I'm a total piece of shit.

You're not-- You're, like,
a really good friend, so...

I just wanted you to know that.

Shit is complicated,
and there's two sides, right?

Or three, so...
Can I have one of these?

Yeah.

[cap pops, skitters on counter]

You think anyone
will ever forgive me?

You're really hard not to love.

[Olivia Rodrigo's
"Drivers License" plays]

I got my driver's license
last week...

Oh, fuck.
[clears throat]

'Cause you were
so excited for me

To finally drive up
to your house

But today I drove
through the suburbs

Crying 'cause
you weren't around

[exhales]

And you're probably
with that blonde girl

Who always made me doubt

She's so much older than me

She's everything
I'm insecure about

Yeah, today I drove
through the suburbs

'Cause how could I ever
love someone else?

[panting]

And I know
we weren't perfect

But I've never felt this way

For no one

[Dani]
Hey, baby.

Are you scared about tomorrow?

It's gonna be incredible.

Okay, now that I'm gone...

I'll always be here for you,

no matter what.

I guess you didn't mean...

[Sophie]
Dani. Dani, wait, wait!

What you wrote in that song
about me

[coughing]

'Cause you said forever

Now I drive alone
past your street

[panting]

Hey, I found some
of these in the back.

So I think they might work.

Perfect. I think we have

enough then. Thank you.

Of course.

You know, you were
really sweet with Finley.

I was? Why?

When you told her
that you were proud of her

for putting herself out there.
You said it's not easy.

Mm. Well, it's not.

You love your armor, huh?

No, it's just the way
I was raised.

Me, too.

My mom used to take me to
church with her every Sunday.

Why? Is she religious?

No, not for the worship,
for the bingo in the basement.

She would chain-smoke
Virginia Slims while she played.

[chuckles]
I can relate to that.

She's got MS.

She's had it for years,
and it's...

getting worse.

Tess, I'm sorry.
I had, I had no idea.

No, I know.

Um, she's still...

lighting up those Slims,
though, and calling Bingo

in the nursing home,
so there's that.

At least that's something,
right?

Yeah.

Okay, your turn.

With what?

Well, I shared something,
and now you share something.

It's a conversation.

Oh. Okay.

All right,
what do you want to know?

-What do you want to tell me?
-Oh, well...

[clears throat]

I need this.

The bar, poker.

And it's not just for fun.

Um...

Quiara... she got half
of everything in the divorce,

and-and she deserves it, but...

I-I'm just in a bit of a spot.

Oh, shit.

Okay, I'm sorry.

I didn't even think about that.

Why would you?

Don't worry about it.

Um, okay, how about
a-a dry run tonight?

Are y-- are you playing with me?

With permission
to change my mind.

Okay.

Okay. You're kind of sweet, huh?

-No.
-Yeah. Like a,

like a sweet, feral cat.

I mean...
[imitates cat howling, hissing]

[both laughing]

-Are you blushing? Oh, my God.
-What?

-You're totally blushing.
-I'm not blushing.

I love that I made you blush.

-You didn't make me blush.
-Oh, you're blushing.

Don't get ahead of yourself.

Please.

There's no blushing.

[St. Panther's "These Days"
playing]

-Night.
-[indistinct chatter]

Hey, you still here?

Why don't you go home?

Uh, yeah,
I didn't want to go home.

Oh.

You're hiding out at work.

Little young for that.

That usually comes later.

I'm just doing some research
for that new segment.

I figure whoever you hire
can at least

have something to work from.

-Okay.
-Okay, what? [chuckles]

You can have the segment.

[sighs]
Really?

Yes. Yes!

-Wow. I...
-Oh, stop.

-Thank you, thank you.
-Stop. Yes. All right.

Well, can I, uh,
take you out for a drink?

-As a thank you?
-No... Hey, ooh.

Do you want to come play poker?

-Ooh.
-Nat's got to be with the kids.

-Like, poker-poker, like...?
-Like poker...

-with money poker?
-Yes, like, with money poker.

I mean, I'll get
the first buy in this time.

Then you can get it
next time, segment producer.

[Micah]
Okay, so your dad

mainly asked
for, like, paperwork.

Um, so I found
your car registration,

your passport, stuff like that.

Great.

Yeah. Uh, and then I took
the liberty of finding more,

uh, practical things, like,
uh, clothes and, uh, a book

I think you were reading,
um, and a phone charger.

I would say thank you,
but I'm pretty sure

you owe me at least that.

Yeah.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure
you're right.

This looks good.

Sophie brought it.

It's probably poison.

I'm sorry I didn't tell you.

Bet you are.

I just, I didn't want
to ruin your relationship.

Too late for that.

You know, I just--
I thought that...

Well, it doesn't matter
what I thought.

No, you know, it kind of does.

-I thought you were happy.
-I was!

I thought--

She made me happy, and I thought
we were gonna be happy forever.

That was kind of the whole idea.

You still could be.

How?

I-I can't just undo
what she did.

What they did.

No.

But you could forgive her.

Look, uh...

I know it doesn't feel like it,

but... you have all
the power right now.

Trust me.

If you don't want to be
with her, that's one thing,

but...

if you want to forgive her,
you could.

No one would judge you.

How would I even begin to--?

Uh... start small.

Um...

That dish is probably her mom's.

You know?

Just saying.

[Jesse Reyez's "No Sweat"
playing]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, no sweat,
na-na-na, na-na...

Oh, this is amazing.

-You got a table.
-This looks pro. No, no, no.

-Let me. Mm-hmm.
-Oh, my goodness.

Queen's on the team
in real life

Not just
on the Internet, yeah

You working hard
for the tough spot

Just watch it manifest

I'm a rose and a king...

-Hello, hello.
-Hello!

-Those are you for you.
-Oh, thank you.

-Here you go.
-Thank you.

Till the morning
don't like me, whoa

Wait, yeah, we takin'
everything we want

And we can do it
all strength

We ain't stoppin',
believe me

-Hi!
-[indistinct chatter]

We takin' everything
we want and we can do it...

Thanks.
That's a lot of chips.

[All]
Hey!

[indistinct chatter]

No sweat...

I mean, I thought it was
gonna be a fold-out table.

Sit next to you, okay.

No sweat...

-Thank you.
-You guys are good.

Is this everyone?

-Yeah. I think this is it.
-Okay.

Well, I invited Dani,

but she's still too shattered
to go out in public, so...

Okay, are you sure I should
be here? I can go.

-Yes. No, you're here with me.
-It's fine, it's fine.

You're here with me.
We're all gonna get along.

Where's Nat?

You've got to be
fucking kidding me.

Hola, mami

All strength
we ain't stoppin'

Believe me, go straight

Till the mornin'
don't like me

Whoa, wait, yeah

We takin' everything

We want, and we can do it...

Absolut cranberry for you, boss.

-Just the way you like 'em.
-Ooh, thanks.

Tecate for you.

Thanks, Finley.

All right, thank you.
Everyone have what they need?

-Yes.
-Uh, yes.

This is such a great idea.

You should do this often.

That's the plan.

[Bette] Let's do this.
I'm getting a hormonal

surge-- I'm ready
to take all your money.

Okay, ladies, name of the game

is Texas hold 'em. No limits.

This game is ten and 20.

Action is on you.

Oh, me?

Oh, God. Okay, I'm not ready.

-Can someone else go first?
-Seriously?

-[overlapping chatter]
-Come on.

-We'll wait for you.
-Any day, Al.

Okay, okay, okay.
All right, I'm gonna

-do something like that.
-Perfect.

[Maribel]
I'm just so proud of you.

Thanks. I mean, it did,
it did feel kind of good

to tell José to,
you know, fuck off.

Yeah!

Then it felt horrible, kind of.

Yeah, that's awkward. I'm sorry.

It's okay. You know, it's...

I'm glad I did it.

And, actually, you know,
I got to sort of patch things up

-with Dani and so...
-Oh.

I kind of just feel a little
less shitty about myself.

Well, that's the goal, right?

Yeah, yeah.

Thanks, by the way.

Oh, for what?

For being such a good friend.

Oh, wow. This is awkward.

I didn't know we were friends.

[chuckles]
Fuck off.

[Maribel laughing]

-[laughter]
-She does, she does.

[Alice] I'm telling you,
this editor, though--

his name's Tom--
he's, like adamant that I tell

my messy life stories.
I'm like, "Who cares?"

-I do. I'd rather see that.
-Yeah, I definitely want

-to know about that.
-Really?

[Bette]
Just don't put me in the book.

I don't want to be in the book.

Should I raise?

[Bette]
Um, for real, Alice?

-Yes. You should. I...
-Okay.

Al, you know that the messy
parts of people's lives,

they're always
the most relatable.

That's what I keep telling her.
I mean,

people are gonna love her for
telling those stories, right?

Well, it's fine
when it's your mess,

but when your mess is the cause
of someone else's pain,

it's not quite so sympathetic.

Was that at me?

[Bette]
Did it feel that way?

I know I fucked up.

You don't need to keep
throwing it in my face.

It's probably best not to judge.

Yeah.

Oh.

I'm gonna do that.

[Sophie]
And I'm sorry.

If you see her before I do,
just tell her I'm sorry.

All right, all right,
all right, all right, look.

Everybody makes mistakes, right?

Including you.

You've cheated?

I cheated on Tina 17 years ago.

And I will regret it
for the rest of my life.

Well, I've cheated, too,
so I would never ju--

[Alice]
That's tr... that's true.

With Nat. You cheated...
or, on Nat.

You cheated on Nat.
That's right.

She's got trust issues,
ever since.

Okay.

I'm gonna, no...
I'm gonna do this.

Ooh! Look at that.

[Tess]
But people can change.

I mean, like, I hated Shane
for sleeping with my girlfriend,

-I know.
-but look at us now.

-[Tess] We're friends.
-Oh.

-Okay, I was... [chuckles]
-[Tess] What?

-[Shane] What?
-No, nothing.

-We're friends.
-[laughter]

We're just all a bunch
of fuck-ups.

Yeah, I guess we definitely are.

-[sighs]
-[Alice] What a fun game.

[Shane]
Shit, Alice.

I'm out.

-Uh, me, too.
-[gasps]

-Oh.
-[Alice gasps]

-Okay.
-Did I just win?

-Yes, you did, princess.
-[Shane] Yep.

-[Tess] You totally won.
-[Alice] Oh, God.

Do you guys have a crane?
I just....

Ooh. I'm gonna need
a bigger bag.

-[laughter]
-[Alice] The one percent.

Do you have, like, a giant

Dana's tote bag
that I could take these home in?

-Thanks for your help.
-Hey, Elton John in a suit,

-bring it down.
-[laughter]

It's not happening again.

-[door opens]
-[Alice] Hey.

Hi.

I'm starving. Is there anything?

Uh, there's a plate
for you in the fridge.

[gasps]
Yes.

How was your day?

It was fine. I mean,
there was a lot of Gigi.

Man, Nat, that whole plan
we had is kind of backfiring.

-[Nat] Uh-huh.
-I thought there'd be less Gigi,

and all of a sudden,
I'm just starting to feel like

I'm getting a lot more Gigi.

Right.

Hey, um...

I-I kind of have
to confess something.

Okay.

The other night,
I took your phone

and I was trying
to look through your texts.

Why would you do that?

My gut's telling me
something's going on with you,

and I was just trying
to figure out what it is.

Nothing's going on.

I heard you crying
in the bathroom.

That's a normal thing
that normal people do.

You fell asleep during sex.

I was taking a little rest.

Okay, so you're saying
nothing's wrong

and I'm just being paranoid?

-Yes.
-Okay.

No.

So you admit
there's something wrong?

No.

Yes.

Okay, Nat, can you, can you
put the fucking sponge down

and just look at me?

Okay, fine.

Something's going on,

but I don't want something
to be going on.

I can see that,
but I'm your person,

and if you're going
through something,

you kind of have to tell me.

I want to.

I'm just...

I'm afraid of what you'll think
of me if I tell you.

Okay. Uh...

Ooh. All right.

[clears throat]

I-I will keep a totally
neutral face, like this.

What is it?

Okay, I...

I think I'm...

uh...

polyamorous.

It's something that I thought
I might be for a long time,

and then I just denied it,
you know?

Pushed it down.

I mean, coming out as gay
was hard enough.

You don't look neutral.

I don't feel neutral.

-Alice--
-You came on my show

and you told me you loved me,
and only me.

I do. I love you so much.

-That part was true.
-What, but I'm not enough?

Oh, my God.
Of course you're enough.

It's-it's not like that.

Do I work too much?
Do you want me to work less?

No, no. It's none of that.

It-it truly has nothing
to do with you.

It's-it's really me.

Wow. W... Okay. Okay.

It's no different
than you being bi.

-What?
-Yeah. I'm poly and you're bi.

That is not the same!

It's actually exactly the same.

It's parts of our identities
that need to be explored.

I don't want to be with a guy!

[whispers] Would you be quiet?
The kids are sleeping.

-I don't even think about guys.
-You don't?

-N-No. I think about--
-Never think about guys.

-I think about you.
-And I think about you, too.

Yeah, and everybody else,
apparently.

[sighs]

If I could be any other way,
I would be.

But you can't be?

No.

[sighs]

This is always gonna be
a thing between us

unless we can find a way
to work through it.

soft, solemn music

And if we can't?

-[faucet squeaks]
-[water running]

[Virginia]
Oh, an espresso machine.

I always wanted one of these.

Put it down, Ma. We're
not keeping any of that stuff.

[indistinct chatter]

Hey. Hey, hey, hey! Wait!

Wait. Hey, hey. Hi.

I just wanted to give you back
your, uh, your thing.

-Uh...
-And thank your mom

for making it for me.
It was delicious.

Uh, do you want to come in
and-and thank her yourself?

I can't.

I keep replaying
what happened in my mind

-a-and wondering...
-I know... I know.

...is that what
you wanted to happen?

-What? No.
-Did you think it was romantic?

Did Finley sweep you
off your feet?

No. No.

Okay, because it was
so fucking humiliating for me.

Like, I feel like I can't see
any of those people ever again.

I was holding you
that night, wasn't I?

-When?
-The night you were with her.

You were crying in bed
and I held you.

Am I right?

slow, somber music

You know,
the thought of losing you

wasn't something I thought
I'd ever have to face.

You don't have to.

Hey.

I fucked up.

I fucked up.

But I will spend
every single day

for the rest of my life
making it up to you.

I promise.

Just come home with me.

I wish I could,

-but I can't.
-But we can...

-I know myself.
-...we can go to therapy--

-No. It's-it's not gonna help.
-We can, we can,

just slow things down--

I will never be able
to trust you again.

Do you understand
what that means?

I got to go.

Follow me each day

Years of sun
that never went away

but I'm not one to pray

Everything's changed

Now I'm scared of the dark

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

All I can hear is my heart

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Ooh

[knocking on door]

I need you to bring me home

I need you
to bring me home...

Who is it?

[Dani]
It's Dani.

My life is out of control...

I was just gonna call you.

I need you to bring me home

Yeah, I know, yeah, I know

This ain't forever

Yeah, I know, yeah, I know

I will get better

If I go, if I go

And lose it ever...

It's gonna be okay.

I'll need you
to bring me home

[door opens]

Oh, shit.

Hey. Um...

I'm sorry, I thought
you were staying at your mom's.

Micah's letting me, uh,
crash in the back room.

I love it.
It's like a little prison.

Feels pretty fitting for me
at the moment, so...

I'll, uh, have a bowl, too.

-[sighs]
-Dinner of champions.

[grunts softly]

I'm sorry.

Really sorry
I fucked up your life,

if that hasn't been
totally clear.

You didn't.

It was all my fault.

I'm gonna be out of here
first thing in the morning.

And I'll replace the cereal.

Pretty much crushed
this entire box, so...

Don't go.

Don't go?

I want you to stay.

Good night.

[sighs]

Oh, I know

These are gonna be
hard times

These are gonna
be hard times

Don't you lose your light

Mama, all of my friends
are dying

the reason
