[UPBEAT MUSIC]

? ?

Now, usually a classic "Hey, bitches" would be in order,

but since I've been away, your girl has evolved.

After Aaron and I split, I headed to New York

to resuscitate Anti-Muse.

Some cry when their heart is heavy,

but I designed dope shit.

You know what? Why don't I just show you?

After working my Zoey charm during Fashion Week,

I was finally building some buzz.

So your girl got into the lab and cooked up some new looks.

But while I was working on my business,

I realized I needed to do a little work on myself.

So after some soul-searching,

I managed to lay the old narcissistic Zoey to rest.

And once the new looks dropped,

things started popping off.

I couldn't believe Anti-Muse was finally that girl.

? We on another level ?

And now all I really need to put my name on the map

is recognition from the AFDA.

? Level, le-level ?

? We on another level ?

Which is why I'm back where it all started: LA.

Tonight I'm hosting a fashion show

in hopes that it wins me an AFDA award

and takes Anti-Muse to that next level.

We get it. You're back, bitches.

Mm, hello. Good to see you too.

And, oh, I am so evolved now,

I'm not even gonna roast you about your TikTok Shop pants.

Not saying a word.

Anyways, tonight is about both Johnsons

because I'm no longer little brother.

I am an A-list manager who gets things done.

So I'm gonna ignore all of that,

and I'm gonna use my networking magic

on all of her VIP guests tonight.

Wow, this is the venue for your fashion show?

This place is big-time.

- Right? - Break a leg, Zo-Zo.

- Thank you! - This is insane.

If you think the outside is great,

just wait until you see the inside.

Look!

[JEWISH FOLK MUSIC PLAYING]

[BLEEP].

? ?

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 ?

? ?

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

OK, so they double-booked my event space

with a bar mitzvah, and I'm totally screwed.

And while Evan gets to become a man,

I get to become a complete failure.

It is OK.

This is nothing that the Johnsons cannot fix.

- OK. - Right?

What time does the talent arrive?

- 20 minutes. - [INHALES SHARPLY]

Yeah, she kind of [BLEEP].

Would you... I can totally hear you!

- Wh... - I invented this!

- Listen, I'm here for you. - Mm-hmm.

- I get shit done. - Mm-hmm.

So tell me what you need, all right?

- We got this. - OK, you're right.

I just need a moment to gather my thoughts.

OK.

Is this the Anti-Muse show?

Oh, my God.

You got the Black Eyed Peas?

That's the AFDA.

Who?

Really important.

Sonya, you're here early.

Oh, like, you're here really early.

Well, you know me.

I like to have some one-on-one time

with the designer before I consider giving them

one of the most prestigious awards in fashion.

- Naturally. - Do you have a minute?

Oh, a full minute?

Um...

Uh, Sonya, I'm Andre Johnson of Andre Johnson Entertainment,

A-list talent manager, jack-of-all-trades,

master of...

uh, all the trades that I am the jack of.

Uh, Zoey's actually busy right now,

but I've got time for you guys.

Sorry, this is my little brother.

And he is helping me with tonight's show.

I like my introduction way better,

but yes, I am all yours.

You guys thirsty?

There's actually a caf� in the hotel.

No. Hey, psst, what are you doing?

Do you have any idea how important that woman is?

Don't worry. I have handled much worse.

Do you know what?

I'm gonna trust you.

But if you screw this up,

I will be telling Mom and Dad

about what you did to the couch when you were 12.

[QUIRKY MUSIC]

Sonya, frapp�s on me.

? ?

Uh-huh, no, yeah, I know that we're supposed to set up

the stage in the ballroom, but for now, can we just

kind of store it all in the garage?

Yeah? Thank you.

- Oh, my God. - Wait.

Is that Zoey Johnson of Anti-Muse?

- Oh, my God. - [BOTH SQUEALING]

What a surprise!

Aren't you supposed to be somewhere, like, convicting a jury?

Aw, you still have no idea how our justice system works.

- Not at all. - I love that about you!

Thank you!

So how's it going?

Oh, somewhere, uh, between a catastrophe and a disaster

because, fun fact, this super high-up, important fashion rep

showed up early, but the entire place is a hot mess

as though two garbage trucks just

crashed head-on, 405 disaster.

And it's worse than our freshman year bathroom

when we had that one girl that just kept shedding...

OK, sweetie, sweetie, sweetie, breathe.

- Yeah. - Breathe. Calm down.

It's just, I feel like I don't have time.

I'm supposed to go meet the van when it unloads,

and I don't know where it's gonna go.

You know what, though? I can make the most of it.

And I can ask about truck driving work and just pivot

if the fashion show fails because I heard

- they actually have really good benefits. - [HORN HONKING, ALARM BLARING]

Oh!

- Ooh. - [CAR CHIRPS, ALARM STOPS]

- Ana. - What?

Do you mind strutting in front of the car

as though a Rosal�a song's playing in your head?

Huh? Why?

Just for me. I'm trying to see something.

OK. Rosal�a.

Just put a little more...

good, good.

Tyra's watching.

I kind of feel like this may work.

Can you tell me what's going on?

If the show is about LA, then why not use LA?

And what's more LA than cars?

Uh, oh, hey, guys, why don't you just go down the ramp

and unload everything in here?

'Cause this is our venue now.

And it's gonna be perfect.

Yeah.

I'm dying to know about the theme of the show.

Why a love letter to LA?

I mean, why not?

[LAUGHS]

Maybe I should just talk to her.

No, no, no, no.

What do you want to know?

What is she trying to say as a designer?

For example, SKIMS has done a lot for inclusivity

with its line of undergarments

- for differently abled people. - Oh.

Also, Kim got my cousin out of prison.

Well, um, rest assured.

Zoey cares very greatly about the political

and cultural impact of this show, so much so

that the cultural and political impact

are gonna be so great that Rosa Parks' ghost

is gonna ask Zoey for tips.

[DANCE MUSIC PLAYING]

That shouldn't be too hard, right?

? ?

Oh, my gosh. Oh, my gosh.

You got Winnie Harlow to be in your show?

Yes, girl!

- Hi, Winnie! - Hi!

- Thank you so much for coming. - Hi.

Girl, this is your big night.

I wouldn't miss it for the world,

though I'm a little confused.

When I was upstairs in the ballroom,

I was swarmed by a bunch of 13-year-old boys

- hitting on me. - Oh, sorry. That's Evan.

He's becoming a man.

- That won't happen again. - [LAUGHS]

And your dressing room is that way.

Perfect. Thank you so much.

And, my love, you're going to kill it tonight.

- Thank you. - [LAUGHS]

Oh, my God, she's so nice!

Right?

Oh, my gosh, Beavis and Butt-Head made it.

- Yo. - Hi.

Hey!

- Hi, hi, hi. - Hi.

- Hey, you. - For the lady of the night.

Thank you. Wow.

Yes, and you look great, Zoey.

You're aging like fine wine.

Thank you.

I'd hope so at 23.

I just wanted to come say hello, wish you good luck,

and, uh, let you get back to doing your thing.

Oh, my God, they're still doing this?

When are they not doing it?

Hey, guys.

- Oh, hi. - Hey.

Hey. What up?

- How'd it go with Sonya? - Oh, light work.

Handled it just like I said I would...

- professionally. - Great.

I may have promised that the show

would be more politically

and culturally impactful than Rosa Parks,

but this is a lovely venue.

Gorgeous.

What'd you say?

Did you see that Ana was here?

Andre, you promised the woman that determines the future

of my company that this show is about to set off

the second Civil Rights Movement?

You realize, if I don't deliver,

the future of my company is in jeopardy.

OK, I understand that you're mad,

- but I can fix this. - I'm not even mad.

I'm just disappointed that I thought

my little brother would come through for me

on my big night.

I hope you can find something else to manage.

Thanks.

Yikes.

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

? ?

OK, so Zoey hates me right now but not for long

because your boy has been hitting the phones

like a guy trying to raise money after a natural disaster.

I have called all of my people.

And yeah, maybe my grandkids are gonna have to pay off

all the favors that I owe,

but they have agreed to take this fashion show

to the next level.

We're here. [SIGHS]

Oh.

We heard you [BLEEP] all the way up

and you need your friends to save your ass.

OK, those are not the words that I would use.

But yes, Zoey's show is about to start,

and we do need some crowd to fill the new space.

But I really just...

I need you guys here for moral support.

I am renowned for my heart of gold,

so I'm gonna see what I can do

to get my camera-ready friends down here.

But if you need famous faces, you know who you need to ask.

- [GROANS] - [FACETIME RINGS]

Oh, look who's calling.

Do you need a suggestion for something?

There's that razor-sharp wit.

Oh, my God.

Is that new eyeshadow, or did you just wake up

looking extra-smoky today?

Andre, what are you doing?

Don't try to act like things are all fine and normal between us.

What the hell are you calling me for?

Yeah, I know. I know. You're right.

I'm really sorry about the way things ended between us,

and I want to make things right.

But I'm in a bind right now,

and I could really use some of your Black girl magic.

Zoey's fashion show is tonight,

and we're a bit short on some famous faces.

So I was wondering if you could invite

some of your influential friends.

Since it's for Zoey, I got you.

Oh!

Oh, my God.

I really didn't know how this call was gonna go.

I was unbelievably nervous.

OK, she's gone. Cool.

You know, I just... I need to come up

with something that really moves people and has a meaning.

You got this, and you have us here to help.

We just have to come up with this political message.

Like, um... oh! Ah!

Problematic statues.

Ooh, or mild to severe plaque psoriasis.

It's very relevant.

And the commercials is everywhere, no?

What about this?

- Oh, my God, the jumpsuit! - The jumpsuit!

Yeah, because the top and bottom separate clothes is like a relic of...

It's the jumpsuit I designed for his graduation.

Right.

Right, and it's a jumpsuit that has

a cultural impact and one hell of a political message.

Yeah, Cal U stopped investing in private prisons

because of this jumpsuit, so...

Yeah, that's good.

I guess I do have something to say.

You always have.

Yeah, and Cal U has always been a part

of our, uh... well, your journey.

Mm-hmm.

So where is the jumpsuit?

[CLICKS TONGUE] That's at my house.

Of course it is.

I could totally rework it for my collection,

but your apartment is, what, 50 minutes each way,

and the show's in two hours.

Well, there is someone at my house that could maybe, uh...

Who's at your house?

- Hmm? - Who's at...

What are you guys talking about?

Oh.

Oh.

Oh, is anybody gonna tell me what's going on?

- Uh, my... - Who's at your place?

It's someone. Edie is the someone.

She's a person that I... I work with,

and she's sometimes at my house.

We sometimes watch movies.

- And then after hours, we sometimes... - So your girlfriend.

Bitch, what?

No, I wouldn't say that, right?

I'd say she's more of, like, a... we're like a mix between,

- like, a sneaky link and... - Oh, OK.

- Hold my earrings. - Shh!

Shit.

Uh, tell her to bring it.

That would actually be so great.

And you know what?

I'll even save her a seat.

What is wrong with you?

Awesome. I'm gonna go call her.

You wanna... yeah.

[QUIRKY MUSIC]

You sure you're up for this?

No, I'm not.

Totes.

Yeah, why wouldn't I be?

I need the jumpsuit.

And, as my dad likes to quote from De La Soul,

stakes is high.

- Hmm. - [SIGHS]

I'm gonna get some intel from Doug.

- Thank you. - You're welcome.

Girl, you are lying to yourself,

which is me 'cause I'm you,

and we both know we still want you to hit that.

? ?

Uh, no, I understand it is last-minute, but I'm down a model,

and I'm honestly this close to putting a mannequin on top of a Roomba.

OK, uh, follow-up question:

do you have a mannequin or a Roomba?

- No? - Sorry.

Hi.

Listen, I know I screwed up,

but I think I made it up to you.

So I called all of my friends,

and you are gonna get LA's finest.

You are gonna have Black excellence.

You're gonna get political excellence.

You're gonna get TikTok excellence.

This place is gonna be more popping

than a cookout at the Obamas'...

first term, of course.

I so appreciate it.

I really do.

But it feels like none of it is even gonna matter.

I lost the model that's supposed

to close the entire show.

And it just feels like every single time I actually

solve a problem, another one pops up

like an anxiety Whac-a-Mole.

It's all good.

You've kicked ass since day one.

Why are you gonna stop now?

And if you tell anybody this, I will deny it,

but I've looked up to you since literally my first memory.

So tonight go out there, and do what you always do.

Be you.

Thank you, Andre.

Yeah.

Oh, um, and one last thing.

Don't worry about finding another model.

I've got the perfect person in mind.

He may just be my second-favorite brother.

[LIGHT UPBEAT MUSIC]

? ?

Zoey, are you sure you're up for this?

Because I can snatch that jumpsuit

and kick Edie to the curb, where she belongs.

For the 100th time...

- I'm chillin'. - No, you're not.

Empaths run in my family, and your energy's wild right now.

I can feel it.

Well, yeah, I'm a little excited

'cause my woman Edie is coming.

- But Zoey and I, we're just... - Friends. Friends.

Honestly, we may as well live across from each other

in an overly priced West Village apartment,

we are so friendly.

[GASPS] Oh, wow.

I really hope that's a model and not...

Edie!

[ETHEREAL MUSIC]

? ?

- Oh. - Edie.

? ?

Mm, mm. Thank you so much.

You are the best.

Mm-mm-mm, you are so lucky you're not an empath.

If my knees start to buckle, you catch my head.

Shh! I'm watching.

- Hey. - Zoey, hey.

- Hi. - Hi.

Oh, you guys haven't, uh...

yeah, no, this is Zoey.

- Zoey, this is Edie. - Pleasure.

That's not a rebound.

That's a slam dunk.

[MOUTHING WORDS]

Wow, Edie, it's a pleasure.

And honestly, you are a real one for doing me this insane solid.

Like, I'm so grateful. Thank you.

Beyond thank you.

I just hope I made it in time.

I always get a little turned around

- leaving Aaron's, and... - Oh.

Yeah, what do you say we find a place for this, huh?

We don't want the models fitless, right?

Catch my head.

Ana, catch my head.

Um, I will just take this backstage, thank you.

Oh, pleasure to meet you, beauty... Edie.

Hi.

Wow.

Uh, Zoey, we have to go, um...

OK, we're gonna go, but thank you.

No, I promise I'll let you work,

but when Aaron told me the history behind this jumpsuit,

I was so impressed by your genius

on top of your already incredible style.

- [CHUCKLES] - Thank you.

Thank you. Thank you.

Is it just me, or does her voice have

a naturally seductive quality to it?

I love her. I mean I hate her.

Whew.

? ?

Los Angeles has always been a place

that people can come to reinvent themselves.

No matter the confines of our social circumstances,

we are all capable of change.

And this is what a true metamorphosis is about.

Enjoy the show.

[KNOCK AT DOOR]

Hey, sorry, can I just have a minute alone?

You don't have a moment for me?

[CHUCKLES]

You absolutely killed it today.

Well, at least I think you did.

This is my first fashion show.

Mm-hmm.

Well, I couldn't have done it without you.

So thank you so much.

It's nothing.

No, it's everything.

You always come through for me.

Well, you're easy to come through for.

Yeah.

Well, I'm sure you should probably get going, huh?

Right, yeah, for sure.

[BOTH CHUCKLE AWKWARDLY]

- It's good to see you. - Good to see you.

- Again, amazing job today. - Thank you.

Oh, also, I expect my 10%

when the jumpsuit sells for millions.

No promises.

That's selfish.

So... you're just gonna let him walk away?

OK, wait, what are you doing here?

Because I actually put you behind me.

I did the work.

I had Better Help on freaking speed dial.

Aw, big Zo-Zo, I am always here.

And you and I both know that you still have

very real feelings for Aaron.

So you can't just let him walk away without saying something,

even if that Edie bitch has skin that looks like

she's lit from within.

No, Aaron and I had our shot.

That's that.

So you're just gonna let him go.

No.

We're gonna let him go.

OK.

Cool, cool.

Cool, cool, cool, cool.

I'm just gonna go talk to him.

OK, no, hold on, bitch.

Oh!

You really want this smoke?

You know what? Yeah.

I want all the smoke.

[INTENSE MUSIC]

No!

Come on.

[GRUNTING]

? ?

Let me go.

It's time for you to go for good.

Night, night, bitch.

? ?

[KNOCK AT DOOR]

Is everything OK?

Uh...

You did the right thing by letting him go.

Thank you for being my rock, Ana.

I couldn't have done this without you.

And, girl, I missed you!

- I know. I'm great. - Ugh!

You are.

The key to evolving is that you're never done.

But maybe that's how it's supposed to be.

After all, nothing great comes from staying the same.

I come bearing gifts. Bam.

It's gonna take a lot more of these

to make up for your post-breakup shenanigans.

And we only drink top shelf.

Well, the night is young, and my liver is even younger.

So challenge accepted.

To the crew?

To the crew.

- To the crew. - Yeah!

? Playing games, why you treat me like a console ?

? In the hood, they salute me like I'm Rambo ?

? Was a runner, bossed up, head honcho ?

? If it ain't about the money, change convo ?

? Pick it up, pick it up, bad mama ?

? What you want, what you want, no drama ?
