? Level up,
I know you see me comin' ?

It's return of the mack!

Back from winter break,

which for me,
was more like a winter grind.

This semester,
I'll be laying the foundation

for a brand-new,
exciting venture.

Negotiating Annika's deal
for "Social Submarine"

may have lit the fuse
on our breakup,

but it gave me the confidence
I needed as a manager.

So now,
I'm starting my own company.

I've been investing in myself.

I got bespoke business cards
Patrick Bateman would kill for.

And because I'm
my father's son, boom.

[bell rings]
Look good, feel good.

But not so much physically.

I been crashing
on the Gamma couch

because I'm still on the outs
with Aaron.

As for the girls...

- ? So level up ?
- ? So level up ?

- ? There's no time to waste ?
- ? There's no time to waste ?

[music slows down and stops]

[tense hip-hop beat]

As for Zaara, Lauryn,
and Kiela,

they're figuring life out
as children of our divorce.

There's a reason most titans
of industry are lone wolves.

Do you think
we'd have Tesla today

if Elon Musk wasn't
the world's loneliest man?

Now I've got a hot, new client
on the line,

and I've just gotta do
is reel that marlin in.

? ?

Andre Johnson.

Are you ready to take it
to the next level?

both: ? Watch out, world ?

? I'm grown now ?

? I'm grown ?

? Learn something new
every day ?

? I don't know
so I'ma feel my way ?

? Got the weight of the world
on me ?

? But no regrets ?

? This is what I say ?

both: ? Watch out, world ?

? I'm grown now ?

? I'm grown ?

? You can't tell me
nothin' ?

both:
? My heartbeat is so loud ?

? ?

? Mama, look, I'm grown now ?

? I'm grown ?

? ?

So if I was your manager,
I'd take all that TikTok hype

and I would use it to get you
a college tour, okay?

And then we would leverage
all the buzz from that

to get you a record deal, right?

And when your album comes out,

you've already got
an army of fans waiting.

Uh-huh?

I mean, look at Chance.
2013, "Acid Rap."

Then he uses that
to book a great college tour

and then in 2016,
"Coloring Book" is a hit.

That's three Grammys
right there, boom!

Then 2019, boom.
All-time wife guy.

Okay, well, that--that part
is definitely optional,

but I can get you started
right away, okay?

I'm a Gamma and this year,

we are co-hosting
the Greek Freakend,

which is sort of like
a homecoming

for all of the Black frats
and sororities in SoCal.

It's gonna be insane.

Has the college tour grind

paid off for you
and your other clients?

So trust is key, so I'm just
gonna level with you.

You would actually be
my first client

that I don't have a
pre-existing relationship with.

Oh.
What do you mean?

Well, I--

I represent my ex-girlfriend
and my best friend.

I just--I'm not a big shot yet,

but I would always
treat you like one.

? ?

Honesty does go a long way
with me.

You know what?

If you in, so am I.

Freakend, baby. Let's get it.
- Yes, sir.

Word!
So we got ourselves a deal?

Got ourselves a deal, man.

Did you ever do
this hairstyle?

Hi, girlies!

Did you have a good Christmas
in New York?

Did you, like,
ice skate at Rockefeller Center

and have tea at the Plaza?

Bitch,
do I look like Elouise?

Luca threw the Christmas ham
out the window

because apparently,

he's a raw vegan now
and my mom cried.

It was amazing.

When it's not
your toxic family,

it's just like
immersive reality TV.

[moody pop music playing]

? ?

Oh, no. Is that a
post-breakup wallow playlist?

[softly]
Yeah.

How's Annika been?

Well, one minute,
it's "Andrew who?"

And the next minute, it's,
"Can you please read

this six-page letter
that I wrote him?"

She's barely left the suite
since we got back.

I think she's, like,
afraid of seeing Andre.

Well, I mean,
even with no chance

of running into Zeke
after our breakup,

all I wanted to do was
hide out and cry.

Then maybe we should
take her out? Yeah?

Because this really
cannot go on.

[upbeat funky music]

? ?

Is that a
Douglas Frederick Edwards

victory dance I see?

My good brother,
you are looking

at the soon-to-be
5% stakeholder

and hospitality director
of the Bar None.

What? No way.
You talked to Ray?

Oh, yes, I talked to Ray
and I laid out

how the DougOut has already
boosted revenue 26%,

and things went exactly
as planned.

- Wow, man. Congratulations.
- Thank you, buddy.

The power of manifestation
is real, man.

- Oh, yo, and--
- It's real.

Yo, make sure
you free up this Saturday.

Sloane is gonna throw a little
celebratory outing for me.

Okay.

Maybe you could invite Edie,
double-date.

Unless that's too serious
for your casual situation?

- No, it's--it's cool.
- [chuckles]

It's cool, you know?

And plus,
it'll give me a chance

to box out any other clowns
on her roster

and show her I'm a good hang
in the streets,

not just in the sheets, so...

[dramatic hip-hop beat]

I'm glad you're recovered,
but that's nasty.

Yo, Pop.
What's the A/V situation?

We need subwoofers so loud

the neighborhood think
it's The Big One.

All right,
so the audio guy said

he could offer
a hearing damage guarantee.

- Okay.
- But not on paper.

Okay.
Sounds scary, but promising.

Get after that.

Cole, how we doing
on the posters?

Look at those!

Yeah, well,
I did a Greek theme.

TK is Zeus and all the little
people are the Cal U students

electrified by his
music-slash-lightning bolt.

It is evocative.
Let's get those up everywhere.

Oh, also I've already
handled the press

and TK's car service,
so we're good on those fronts.

Hey, real quick, real quick.

You want me to put your friends
on the comp list?

You know,
that hot lesbian chick,

the hot activist,

and the hot girl who
dated Zeke?

They can come if they want.

- Word.
- Gotcha.

In the before times,

I probably would've dropped
the invite in the group chat,

but things have been
pretty much tumbleweeds

since the breakup,
so I'll send some solo texts.

Would you guys want
to share some apps?

Andre liked to start
with the chili cheese tots.

And then he wonders
why he has hemorrhoids.

I mean, [bleep]!
It's the chili cheese!

Spinach dip it is.

Okay.
[two notifications chime]

[smooth upbeat music]

Are you--are you guys
not gonna answer those texts?

Wow. You know,
happy hour's almost ending.

Lauryn and Annika, you want
to go grab another round?

Come, come, come, come, come.
Let's go.

Wait, did Andre invite you
to this Freakend show

that his new client's
performing at?

Yep.
We should go, right?

Just--I feel bad.
I've barely seen him.

It's like the judge
is making us choose

between Mommy and Daddy.

Well, Mommy has
just been crying all the time,

and Daddy's throwing a party.

If Annika finds out,
she will freak

or, worse, insist on coming.

Oh, my God. None of us
can handle that right now.

Okay.
So we just won't tell her.

[approaching footsteps]

Are you guys going
to the Greek Freakend?

- What's Greekend?
- I can't go to Greece.

I have class.

The event Andre's helping
to produce this weekend

that he just texted Lauryn
about.

[quirky tense music]

Um, no.
I don't think so.

Yeah, no.
It sounds sweaty.

So sweaty.
I--[sighs]

I don't even want to go.
- Okay.

Maybe we can do
something together.

? ?

- For sure, yeah.
- Sounds cool.

I thought divorce was
supposed to be fun.

Like, two Christmases
and a super-hot, young stepdad.

? ?

[Missy Elliot's
"WTF (Where They From)"]

Shorty what?

? The dance that you doing
is dumb ?

? How they do it where
you from? ?

? Ayy!
Triflin'! ?

? Stickin' out your tongue ?

? Girl, but you know
you're too young ?

? A bunch of girls do it ?

[cheers and applause]

? ?

Freakend, baby!
Whoo!

It has been a grind,
but luckily,

I am the world's
most attentive manager,

so it has been smooth sailing
with TK.

All that's left to do

is to check in on my guy
and enjoy the show.

- This is so nice, Sloane.
- Thank you!

I got a really good work
relationship with the winery,

so they always hook me up.

Work relationships.
Hookups.

Yeah, that's a story I know
all too well.

You know what
I'm talking about.

I really wish Edie could've
been here today, guys,

but I guess I'll just have
to toast

to your success
twice as hard solo.

It's all good, man.

I mean, did Edie say
why she had to bail?

Oh, yeah.
She did.

She said last minute that she
had too many papers to grade.

Timeless cover story.

Did she decide that hanging
with her boy toy's best friend

felt too serious?

Have I breached the fragile
boundaries of our relationship?

Oh, excuse me.
Arrangement?

I don't know.
Who's to say?

[laid-back jazz music]

Kinda just sitting in the dark
on this one.

You can--you can just drown
your situationship anxiety

with this orange wine.

- Please. Take it. Yeah.
- Mm-hmm.

Good year.

It's a bad bitch
breakup recovery kit.

Like first aid for your heart.

Aren't we supposed to be
doing something together?

We will tonight.

We will greet you
on the other side with pizza

and the rom-com of your choice.

But first, you know,
it's time to heal.

We've got sage to cleanse
your room from his energy,

a guide to hip-opening
stretches to release,

you know, pent-up feelings,

a tarot deck, and
a guided journal for healing.

Mm-hmm.
Let the heart mending begin.

Go.
Go in there and do all that.

Have fun.
[door closes]

[Joy Crookes'
"Feet Don't Fail Me Now"]

? ?

? I been posing
with red skies ?

? Retweeting picket signs ?

? Put my name on petitions,
but I won't change my mind ?

? I'm keeping up appearances ?

Guys, you were right, okay?

How long have I
even been in here?

Wow.
28 minutes?

Time really does heal.

? ?

Where the hell are you bitches?

? Tell me who fresher
than me, I'll wait ?

? Got a couple hundreds
that I keep in the safe ?

? This is not a game,
so you know I don't play ?

I love Dad weekend!
This is amazing.

Not now.

Andre, hey.

I'm sorry that
we have been busy with,

um, other stuff, but we are
100% here for you today.

Oh, I'm all good.
I haven't even noticed.

You know,
I've just been so focused

on handling all this stuff
for TK

and planning for my business.

Probably won't even be able
to hang out that much today.

Just grind, grind, grind.

Well,
you haven't missed much.

Honestly, Annika's been a lot.

I'm just--I'm solid.
I'm like a rock.

I been grinding so hard,

I'm like a seventh grader
at his first school dance.

[chuckles]

By the way, does she know
that you're here?

Oh, well, uh, we actually
told her we weren't coming,

so we left her
with a few distractions.

- Yeah.
- Mm.

If she knew we were coming,

then she'd insist she's okay
to go, but she's not.

One thing I don't need are
my friends lying to me.

I can decide for myself
what I can handle.

[tense music]

? ?

Um, we'll find you later.

? ?

- Aaron, you okay?
- Hmm?

Yeah, no. I'm fine.

I'm fine.

I just still can't believe

Edie hit me
with that flimsy-ass excuse.

Right, we're still on that?
Okay.

You know I know
what's going on here, right?

She wanted
to keep things casual,

and obviously,
she caught feelings,

so now she's tryna play
mind games,

act like she doesn't care,
but I see right through that.

Or she's just a grown woman
who knows what she wants,

and isn't looking for more.

Nah, that can't be right.
I don't think so.

No, I do agree.

I think you're so used to Zoey
playing mind games with you,

you don't know that

you don't have to read
between the lines with Edie.

I had to learn this
with Sloane.

- You did.
- Yes.

Look, bro, the key
to a mature relationship

is just
honest communication.

Oh, I guess
I just feel kinda bad.

Because she keeps coming back
for the free trial

instead of subscribing.

I know that
you have a lot to sort out,

but in the meantime,
between-time,

maybe your answer
is at the bottom

of this next bottle of wine.

Mm.

? Yeah, I'm gon' surf ?

? We gon' surf ?

? It was like homework ?

? My wrist got work ?

? I'm gon' surf,
we gon' surf ?

[cheers and applause]
? Surf, yo ?

TK brought the house down!

Now it's time for me
to go celebrate

with my number-one client!

[upbeat hip-hop music]

? ?

Uh, you good?

Sure your friends don't wanna
stick around?

- Oh, uh...
- What's up, bro?

I'm sorry, man.

Um, really big management
company approached me

after you did,
and I invited them to the show.

And they really liked it,
so I think I might end up,

you know, signing with them.

I-I don't understand.

What do they have
that I don't have?

Oh.
Uh...

experience?

Oh, come on.

That's overrated.
They're stuck in their ways.

I don't know, bro.

Bro, I delivered a paid gig

within the first week
of you being signed to me.

Just let me show you
what else I can do.

Look, I'm sorry.

You seem like a great guy,
a'ight?

But these guys, they have
a office in the Arts District.

You don't even have an office.

I-I don't know, man.
You just don't seem too legit.

? ?

All right.
Bet.

I guess
if I'm not your manager,

then I'm the promoter,

and the promoter
doesn't take 10%, okay?

They take half of the door.
So take care, TK.

? ?

[phone line trilling]

- [clears throat] Hey.
- Why'd you guys bail?

I told you.

But this was supposed to be
our day to hang out.

What happened to giving me
100% support?

This felt like 12%, tops.

- We had to deal with Annika.
- Annika this, Annika that.

I am tired of being
the bigger person.

It's time to get small.

When are you guys gonna
put me before her?

Okay, what happened to being
the grinding lone wolf?

I was overcompensating!
Damn!

I-I'm sorry that I have to beg
my friends to care about me.

I-I feel like because
I'm the nice guy,

I get screwed over.
What is it gonna take?

You guys want me to have
a meltdown?

Because here you go.
- Andre.

[tense music]

? ?

Everything okay?

Dad is mad that we bailed.

We can talk about it later.

? ?

TK doesn't think I'm legit.

But I am legit.
I'm too legit to quit.

You get it.

But I found an office that is
sensible and stylish for lease.

Now that it's all that's left
to do is get a co-signer,

someone who has resources,
someone who's believed in me,

and somebody
I know will say yes.

No.
Absolutely not.

Dad, listen. I can do this.
I know I can.

You can't tell someone,
"I can do this"

and in the same breath say,
"I lost my first real client."

It doesn't inspire confidence.

But it should.

The only reason that I lost TK

is because my eye for talent
is so good

that another manager
thought he was worth poaching.

I'm just trying to follow
in your path.

You started your own company.

Aren't you happy that
I'm trying to build something

with my own hands, too?

No, I'm embarrassed
that I've raised

at least two kids who think

the only way to be successful
is to skip steps.

Did you look
at my business plan?

But the only plan
your ass needs

is to get to and from
a promising internship,

not someone to co-sign
for some office.

But if I don't get
the co-sign,

then I have to pay six months
of rent up front.

I--
- Okay. Which you don't have.

Which means when
your binder plan doesn't work,

my ass is stuck on the line
for your lease.

Man, I'm trying to buy a boat.

[soft dramatic music]

Dad, all I'm asking is
for you to believe in me.

? ?

Look, I believe you're
gonna do great things, Junior.

One day.

But as your father, I can't
help you get in over your head.

[somber music]

[laughing] What?
[door opens]

You guys got a sec?

[sighs]
Look...

I'm sorry for how things
have been since we got back

and then I made you feel like

you had to put me
ahead of Andre.

I don't know,
I got stressed that maybe

you guys would kind of side
with Andre by default

and I'd get left behind.

Okay, listen.

We definitely
should not have lied

about going to Andre's thing,

but we only did it because
we care about you a lot

and we knew you were
going through it, so...

We were just trying
to protect you.

I know.

But that doesn't mean that

you guys should feel like
you can't show up for him

or that you have to sneak
around or whatever, okay?

Okay.
And thanks.

Of course.

And thank you
for the tarot cards.

I know that it was a part

of your little
underhanded plot,

but I'm really loving
my new witch era.

[laughter]

I don't know,
I was thinking about

swapping the Malbec out
for the Pinot.

It's just been selling better.
What do you think?

[laid-back hip-hop music]

You okay?

Actually, there's something

I've been wanting
to talk to you about.

Mm.
Something serious?

Should we get out
the red table?

All right, come on.

? ?

So I didn't want
to tell you about this sooner

because I wasn't sure

how serious this was
even gonna get.

Mm.

But I really like you,

and the longer
I kept it to myself,

the harder it got to tell you.

And then you were talking about

how important
open communication is.

Okay, okay.
What is it?

[sighs] So when Avery's dad
and I first separated,

money was tight.

We couldn't even afford lawyers

or for either one of us
to move out.

So we didn't.

It sounds like it was rough.

You'd think so, but for us,
it actually is a lot easier.

? ?

You said is easier,
like present tense.

You mean you're still
living with your ex

who's actually your husband?

Mm...

technically?

Do you technically
still sleep together?

No, no, no.

He sleeps in the guest room.
I sleep in the bedroom.

Completely separate.

We live completely separate
lives outside of our son.

I'm asking you,
do you cook for each other,

do you change
in front of each other?

Hey, does--does any of that
even matter?

You got me out here
looking crazy.

What, you--you--you--you here
with me and then you go to him?

Respectfully, how I handle
my life and raise my kid,

that's my decision.

Mm.

And respectfully,

that's a decision I don't
gotta be a part of, so...

[somber music]

We done here.

[somber music]

- But--but Doug...
- Yeah, I said we're done.

? ?

Are these seats taken?

[indistinct chatter]

So I just wanna say
I'm sorry

about how everything went down.

And I shouldn't have snapped
at you.

It's just been--[scoffs]

It's been a rough couple
of days.

Well, I usually enforce
a zero-tolerance policy

on men raising their voice
at me.

- Yeah.
- I get it.

And I also get that

by rule of proximity
and ancient girl code,

you guys ended up
in Annika's corner.

But I also haven't
gotten over everything.

And just because I'm a guy

doesn't mean
I'm automatically the asshole.

Of course not,

and we weren't trying
to choose sides or anything,

but clearly, we did,
and we let you down.

We're sorry.

Even Annika feels bad
about it, just so you know.

And we're also really sorry
we missed

your new star client's
performance, by the way.

? ?

He's no longer my client.

Oh.

All right. Well,
what about another round on us?

Yeah.
Bring us up to speed.

Okay, so I'm trying to get

a small, curated list
of clients...

[smooth upbeat music]

You know what they say.

If you want to go fast,
go alone.

If you want to go far,
go together.

[soft music]

Sorry, Edie.
[phone keyboard typing]

You are a special woman,

and I have enjoyed
what we've had,

but I think maybe

our free-love
cheek-clapping days

have come to an end,

though we can continue
to clap the cheeks...

of our minds?

Of our minds?
That's weird. No.

Uh, continue to clap the cheeks
as work colleagues.

I like that.
Work colleagues.

Okay, maybe...
work colleagues?

Academic peers?
Work colleagues?

No, let's just keep it simple.

Nice.
Well said, Aaron, well said.

Oh, hold on.

"Wanna come over?"
All right.

Yes, I am on my way.
Okay.

[inhales deeply
and clears throat]
