stops you from growing.

Then...

don't.

Do you think it's possible that we...

grow together?

Yeah. I do.

KATE: Like when two trees are planted too close together,

their branches get all like fused and mangled,

and they go from like two trees to like one weirdo tree?

Obviously we have to make room for other trees in our lives,

We're looking at some broken ribs, a concussion;

there's some mild brain swelling.

Brain swelling?

We're keeping a close eye on it,

she could be just fine, eventually?

KATE: Right.

We're still doing some scans,

Good.

Good, a week. Good, good, good.

She, um... she is smiling a lot,

uh... for right after a pretty bad accident.

That's a red flag, yeah?

Yeah, I mean, the smiling's... the smiling's really weird.

KATE: Very weird. LIONEL: Very weird.

Even a pre-accident Anne, not a big smiler.

Not a smiler.

Weird is to be expected with this type of head trauma.

She might exhibit surprising behaviour in the next few weeks.

The key is to support her through the recovery process,

without judgement.

Yes, of course, let's go! Bring on the crazy.

I can't stop thinking about the accident.

KATE: Oh, honey, I don't think that's crazy at all.

ANNE: There was just something so...

exhilarating about it.

Just right before the hit, I, um...

I had this sensation... KATE: Like, probably fear.

ANNE: Uh, yeah, like fear, and also like, uh...

like I was staring death in the face, and...

it just felt amazing, you know?

I felt alive.

I... I see, yeah. Yeah.

Yeah, and I just really want to feel that rush again.

Is that... is that crazy?

No. No.

Maybe we're doing it all wrong.

KATE: I dunno, I feel like fear's what keeps you alive.

ANNE: Fear's exhilarating!

Maybe we should be chasing that feeling.

KATE: Uh, it really depends on the fear.

I mean... Oof.

Oh, boy. It's lookin' at me, Anne.

It is lookin' right at me.

See-- see, this is what I mean.

You don't chase fear.

Fear chases you.

ANNE: Think they'll let me touch it?

KATE: What? No, don't!

Fuckin' no!

You feel that, though?

KATE: Feel what ?

I think I'm gonna call her Tula.

KATE: As in... tarantula? ANNE: Yeah.

KATE: A little cute name. A little cute for you.

Just think this through, okay?

I don't mean that in a bad way.

No, opposite! Complete opposite.

Now that I'm no one's assistant anymore.

Rosie, you haven't been anyone's assistant for years.

Wait, does that mean I can have an assistant?

I mean, yeah, if you're a partner,

you can have an assistant.

RICHARD: But no free lunches, then.

It's one or the other, sorry.

KATE: Alright, let's dive in. What's first on the docket?

I'll start.

I have two words for ya:

Fronterra Pharmaceuticals.

ROSIE & MO: Oh!

I dunno, Big Pharma?

RICHARD: Okay, look, first of all, it's not Big Pharma.

This is a boutique company, so it's Small Pharma.

Medium Pharma, tops.

Still... dicey, right?

One false move and people get hurt.

Pushing pills...

Is this really the direction we want to take KFPR?

MO: Well, that depends.

Do we want to take KFPR in a lucrative direction?

Mm, I think we do.

RICHARD: And the second thing, of course,

is that Fronterra will be here in 15 minutes.

KATE: You scheduled a meeting without running it by me first?

I thought we were partners.

MO: Isn't that why we don't have to run it by you?

Definitely something we should discuss

at the next partner meeting.

Pharmaceuticals is a huge sector,

hear them out.

Alright.

First day back!

Beautiful, but... tiny.

Great stuff.

RICHARD: Okay, Ram, what have you got for us?

A male birth control pill.

KATE: Excuse me?

RAM: It's called Seedless. It's the first of its kind,

and I think it's gonna change the world.

KATE: Huh.

RICHARD: What'd I tell ya, Kate?

That is impressive.

RAM: Damn right.

KATE: Alright. You got my attention.

So, tell me about it. Why did you develop Seedless?

Uh, it all started when I became sexually active.

The pill disagreed with my girlfriend,

and when you've constantly got a rubber on the rooster...

Do people still say that?

They never did.

I do. RAM: Noted.

Uh, anyways, it was hard not to wonder

why there wasn't an option available for men.

And, quite honestly, haven't women shouldered

this load for long enough?

I mean, shouldn't we level the playing field

in the spirit of contraceptive justice?

ROSIE: That's so hot.

I mean, such a good point.

It is a refreshing take.

So, why bring it to Kate Foster PR?

I'm sure you could take this anywhere.

I could, but, uh...

I'm just not interested in another campaign

that's focused on safety, efficacy, and adherence.

All of which are important, but...

ROSIE: Dull? KATE: Rosie.

RAM: Yeah, she's right. Dull.

[chuckles]

But this drug is unique.

It's special, and it deserves a campaign

that's equally as special.

I just thought that this was the shop to do that.

So, what do you say?

Let us talk.

Thank you so much for coming in.

PAUL: I dunno.

God forbid one of them should see me breastfeed in a meeting!

Uh, nah, that was just mine.

I guess I should have got three orders.

Yeah, no, no. Go... go right ahead.

PAUL: You know, they probably just...

need a little time to adjust.

I mean, it's not like anybody else is walking around here

with a baby.

They'll get used to it, and until then, maybe,

I dunno, just breastfeed between meetings

if it's making people uncomfortable.

But why is it on me to make them feel comfortable?

Isn't that what women have been doing for years?

Bending over backwards

to protect men's precious sensibilities?

What? How do I owe you?

quit my job, and signed up with that stupid

Goldie's pyramid scheme thing.

And even luckily-er,

that friend has a colleague who's in the market

I mean, as a starting position.

The thing is, you don't--

you know, you don't have any experience in PR.
