[BOTH LAUGHING]

- I�m nervous. - I�m a little nervous.

[SULTRY POP MUSIC]

? I�ll never be the same ?

We can�t go back to how we were after this.

I hope not.

You remember the first time I saw you in the office?

You were wearing this beautiful navy suit.

You looked so tall and important.

? Off of one touch I could overdose ?

? You said "stop playing it safe" ?

? "Girl, I wanna see you lose control" ?

First time I saw you, you were having lunch

at your desk and reading "Look Homeward, Angel."

And I thought... "Who does that?"

? ?

I do.

? It�s you, babe ?

? And I�m a sucker for the way that you move, babe ?

? And I could try to run, but it would be useless ?

? You�re to blame, just one hit of you ?

? I know I�ll never be the same ?

? It�s you, babe ?

? And I�m a sucker for the way that you move, babe ?

? And I could try to run ?

[BOTH LAUGHING]

? You�re to blame ?

? Just one hit of you ?

? I know I�ll never, ever, ever be the same ?

? ?

? I�ll never be the same ?

? I�ll never be the same ?

- I�ll call you Christmas Eve. - If you can.

- I know you have the girls. - Yeah.

And I�ll see you in ten days.

Safe trip.

? Maybe you were thinking of me ?

? �Cause all the bells are ringing ?

- Bye. - Okay, bye.

- Hey. - Hey! Happy new year, Zane.

Happy new year, Liza. Kelsey.

- Brr. - [SCOFFS]

It has been like that ever since Jake kicked him

- off the book. - Maybe he�d be less angry

if he knew how much time you spent

editing that thing over the holidays.

- Doubt it. - Hello, ladies.

- How was everyone�s break? - It was great.

- Exhausting. - I know exactly what you mean.

Enzo and I overslept and overate, so now I�m

on a cleanse, which means no coffee.

So don�t expect me to be my normal, cheery self.

- Uh... - Oh, look who�s back.

Hey... Whoa...

Happy new year to you all.

Happy new year.

Very, uh, becoming, Charles.

Kelsey, I read the, uh, the Jake Devereux chapters.

- They�re excellent. - Really?

Candid, funny.

- Great job. - Thank you so much.

Diana, I�ll send you the file.

You have to read it. I think this one is worth

rushing to publication. I, uh,

- I think it�s gonna be big. - Then I can�t wait.

Oh, by the way, Sophia Bell is coming in this morning

to pitch her book. She�s like the new Dr. Ruth.

Great. I will, uh, see you all

at the meeting.

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

- Dear God, that beard. - You know what they say.

Men who grow beards are hiding something.

Yes, generally crumbs.

Liza, coffee... No.

No coffee.

[PEPPY POP MUSIC]

[LAUGHS]

[MESSAGE NOTIFICATION]

? ?

We need to talk.

We? Hmm.

I don�t need anything from you.

Okay, Zane...

We still have to work together.

We are working in the same office,

but let�s be clear.

We�re not working together, Kelsey.

You used whatever you had to get Devereux

all to yourself, all right?

You screwed me, and then you screwed me over.

Wow...

[SAUCY INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC]

? ?

Hi...

Hi.

I missed you.

I missed you too.

Can I see you tonight?

Yes, of course.

So I�ll leave first, and, uh...

and I�ll wait for you in front of the...

the public library.

- 7:30. - Okay.

Sophia Bell is in the conference room.

- Oh, yeah, I was just, um... - Yeah.

I was just telling Charles that.

Uh, so I guess that�s it.

[UPBEAT MUSIC]

? ?

For too long, couples were told

that open communication is the key

to an enduring relationship.

Now they�ll know the truth.

Love is actually fueled...

by mystery.

Mystery is where the erotic thrives.

A healthy relationship should feel a little illicit.

Then the question is, what�s the line

between dangerous and destructive?

What? What is it?

Chapter 12.

- Oh. - [ALL CHUCKLE]

But, um, doesn�t real intimacy

ultimately require real honesty and openness?

No, think of intimacy as a place

instead of a condition.

A place that you go to only with your partner.

And it�s secluded, it�s private.

It�s like your bubble. And when you�re together

in that bubble, then... then what is more exciting

than sharing your secrets?

[SULTRY MUSIC]

You�ll hear from us very soon.

Okay. Thank you, Charles.

- Thank you. - Talk then.

Bye.

Please tell me you�re going to Lauren�s for dinner tonight.

- Sorry, what? - Lauren.

She�s throwing a dinner for this girl that she�s

crazy about, but Jake�s in town,

so I can�t go. Please tell me you can go.

- Oh, tonight? - Yeah.

Oh, um...

S-sorry, I�m busy tonight.

[SIGHS]

[THRILLING POP MUSIC]

? ?

[UPBEAT POP MUSIC]

So where�d you meet this girl, anyway?

Uh, you know, I was at a BAM event where, uh,

Miranda July interviewed Natalie Portman,

and the hottest little blonde just stood up...

- [SIGHS] - And asked Natalie a question

in the most beautiful Hebrew that I...

- I soaked my shorts. - Bam. Mm.

- [KNOCKING ON DOOR] - [GASPS]

Okay, um... [CLEARS THROAT]

Panty lines? Stuff in my teeth?

Uh, you�re good.

[SHARP EXHALE]

- Oh. Hi. - Hi.

- Hi. - I brought eggplant parmesan.

Thank you, Maggie, wow. But, uh, I cooked.

I know. But you want to impress

- this girl, right? - Ooh hoo hoo!

- Hi. - Hi, Maggie.

- Place looks great. - Yeah, right?

Mm, yum.

[PEPPY POP MUSIC]

? ?

- Hi. - Hi.

[SIGHS]

We probably shouldn�t.

Right.

In fact, we should probably talk about

how this is going to work.

We should.

But can I ask you a favor?

Of course.

Can we stay in our bubble... just for tonight?

Oh, my God. Yes, please.

Yeah?

- Then I have an idea. - Okay.

Come on.

[NOSTALGIC POP MUSIC]

What is this?

The SeaGlass Carousel.

I love it. [LAUGHS]

You ready to take a ride?

? ?

? I�d like to stay ?

? But I couldn�t stay with you ?

? I have to go ?

? I have a lot I want to do ?

? Pleasures be waiting by the sea ?

? With a smile for all the world to see ?

? Feel us shaking ?

? ?

- Hey. - Hi.

- Ugh, sorry I�m late. - That�s okay.

Hey. [LAUGHS]

- So, uh... - I thought we were

going to eat. Are we going

- to someone�s apartment? - Yeah, um, my apartment.

- What? - I put a bid on a place

in this building, and I wanted you to be the first to see it.

�Cause, well, I�m hoping you�ll be spending

a lot of time there.

Oh. Are you moving to New York?

I am up for Charlie Rose�s old gig.

What? Oh, my God, that�s amazing.

- That�s... that�s huge. - Yeah...

Look, even if the CBS thing doesn�t happen, it�s...

you know, I think I should have a New York presence.

Uh, there�s just so much opportunity out here.

- Yeah. - But, look,

realtor gave me the keys, so, come on.

Jake, um...

I need to press pause.

You�re amazing...

but I�ve made this mistake before.

- What mistake? - Getting involved with people

that I work with.

You mean Zane? [STAMMERING]

I mean, I�m developing a pattern here

that I would like to break.

Okay? Let�s just cool things off

until the book comes out, and then...

we can see where we�re at after that.

You breaking up with me?

Let me be there for you professionally.

As your editor.

[SIGHS] Wow.

- Curveball. - [BOTH SIGH]

Look, the book is so amazing. I�m so excited about it.

It�s gonna be huge for you and huge for Millennial.

So let�s push this thing past the finish line together,

and then we can see where we�re at.

Okay.

Thank you for your honesty.

I know that�s probably a really tough thing to say.

Yeah, it was.

And I hope you understand.

[INHALES]

You still want to grab a bite to eat?

[CHEERFUL POP MUSIC]

Maggie, what do you think? What do you think?

Group or separate?

I think you should down that red wine

- and take half a Xanax. - [KNOCK ON DOOR]

[GASPS] Okay, okay, no...

I got it, I got it. I got it, I got it.

[SHARP INHALE]

[GASPS] You made it, hi.

- Hi. - Gosh, I love those shoes!

- Oh, thank you. - Come in, you look gorgeous.

- Thank you. - You�re welcome.

Um, this is my roommate Josh, and that�s Maggie.

- Malkie. - What is this?

What, do you two know each other?

- Yeah, we used to go out. - Really?

- Mm-hmm. - Huh.

Oh, well, you know, it�s a small community.

[AWKWARD LAUGHTER] Okay, let me take your coat.

And, uh, is red wine okay with you?

[CLEARS THROAT]

- Mm. - So, Maggie.

When do you plan to put your tomatoes in?

Oh, I�m not doing the community garden this year.

I�m going to do a rooftop garden.

Oh, that sounds right.

- What do you mean? - Just that you seem to like

doing the loner thing, that�s all.

What are you insinuating?

- How�s the salmon? - Uh, it�s de...

Malkie, if you�ve got something to say to me,

why don�t you say it to my face?

Okay.

You�re a middle-aged woman who�s scared to let anyone in.

You love the fun of the chase, but you never want to get real.

[SOMBER MUSIC]

I... I... I gotta go.

- Maggie... - It�s what you do best.

[SIGHS] Oof, uh...

You okay?

Yeah, I just... Call me tomorrow.

Hey, I... I am so sorry.

- I feel awful, I didn�t... - No, I�m so embarrassed.

I-I did not expect it to just, like...

Really, it�s okay. It�s okay.

I mean she... she really hurt you, huh?

No, no, I�m... I�m...

I�m over it.

So, um...

should we get some more wine, or just...

Let�s smoke a joint. You wanna...

Josh.

Hey.

I had the most magical night.

Don�t make fun, but there�s this carousel in Battery Park...

What�s wrong?

Lauren...

is Malkie�s new girlfriend.

- Shiksa-in-the-Mikveh Malkie? - Yep.

Wait, I thought you broke up with her.

I know. I know I did.

- Oh, Maggie. - [SIGHS]

I know.

And... and she said I had issues.

Do you think I have issues?

We all have issues.

We�re all scared to put our hearts out there.

[MELLOW INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC]

But the good things only happen when we risk

letting the bad stuff happen, too.

I know.

[HEAVY POP MUSIC]

So I cooled things off with Jake.

- Oh, is that a good thing? - Oh, yeah.

The next time I decide to sleep with somebody from work,

- please slap me. - [LAUGHS] Will do.

Good morning, Millennial Print.

BOTH: Good morning.

Why is he in such a good mood?

[SIGHS] I just heard from Reese Witherspoon�s person.

They are moving our meeting today to lunch.

Awesome! Ladies who power-lunch,

am I right?

- What? - I am on a cleanse,

that�s what.

- [MESSAGE NOTIFICATION] - _

Uh, excuse me.

I thought you weren�t drinking coffee.

I�m just smelling it.

[PEPPY POP MUSIC]

? ?

I wanted to apologize for last night.

Oh, Maggie, it�s okay.

I mean, you did ruin my party, but you didn�t

- do it by yourself. - Well, I hope you had fun

without me and that you keep seeing her.

- She�s a great girl. - Maggie, she left right after

- you did, practically in tears. - She did?

Yes! And I don�t see people

who are stuck on their exes, okay?

Really, I don�t think I�m the one you should

be giving these flowers to. Take them.

[LAUGHS] Go get her!

Good luck.

My white tiger.

- All right. - Go.

[UPBEAT POP MUSIC]

? Hey, I spy a little piece of heaven ?

? By the door, I�m sure ?

? You�ve never been second ?

? Hey, I got you and me together ?

- Hi. - Hey.

They knocked down the hardware store.

Last week.

Now I have to look at that ugly wall

- until the ground thaws. - Yeah, well, at least it�s not

- a Duane Reade. - It�s going to be.

- Oh. - [BOTH LAUGH]

Listen, I just...

I wanted to apologize about the way things ended.

I guess I just got scared.

Yeah.

Think you�d ever want to try things again?

Maggie...

relationships are about doing the work.

I know that. I know that, and I...

[SIGHS] I�m ready to do the work.

I... I want to do the work.

I know you think you do,

but honestly...

I don�t know if you can.

[DOOR CHIME RINGS]

The flowers are really beautiful.

Thank you.

- [CHUCKLES] - Bye.

Bye.

[PEPPY POP MUSIC]

Thank you so much.

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

Jake. Great to see you.

Yeah, you, too. Thanks for meeting me.

Well, we uh...

we couldn�t be more excited about your book.

And, uh, I think America is ready for some

political optimism.

I�m glad you said that, �cause...

So, I was thinking. The broad appeal of the book,

it may be underserved by such a...

a niche imprint like Millennial.

- Really? - Yeah. Look...

Kelsey... she is not a bad editor.

She�s just... she�s a little green.

And I... Honestly, I... I feel like

the book belongs at Empirical.

Thanks.

Thank you.

[JAZZY POP MUSIC]

? Oh, yeah ?

I am so sorry I haven�t caught you guys up earlier.

Netflix development has stalled �cause they�re just not sure

- about a second season. - But I thought they wanted it

- to be a limited mini-series. - Well, they do,

but just in case it�s a big hit,

they kind of want to see where it can go.

Well, that�s really more of a question for Pauline.

Yes, exactly. Which is why

I have invited her here for lunch.

- Hi! - Oh, hi!

- So nice to see you again. - Thank you.

[LAUGHS] Hi, Diana.

- Hello, Liza. - Pauline, what a surprise.

Now that we�re all here together...

- [LAUGHTER] - I am so excited to hear about

these "Marriage Vacation" characters.

Oh, well, I... I haven�t given it

too much thought, but...

I guess a sequel would have to be all about divorce.

New York style.

- Kate and Karl would split up. - What? Why?

Well, Kate discovers that her husband is secretly in love

with someone else.

Who?

A two-faced young assistant in his company.

Oh... my God.

- I know. - Karl, with an assistant?

Seems like he�d be drawn to a more accomplished woman.

You know, someone who is at least department head.

- Mm. - Right, you might think so.

But this assistant is so cheerful

and innocent-looking, she charms everyone

in the company.

I mean, she�s the kind of woman who smiles

right in Kate�s face; even pretends they�re friends.

And she steals her husband

and takes him away from his children.

Oh, this is good. Shailene Woodley

- is gonna eat this up. - Mm-hmm.

Maybe the assistant was actually trying

to help Kate and Karl repair their marriage.

That�s a stretch.

- Uh... W... Go on. - Maybe the assistant

was doing everything she could to help them get back together.

But Karl couldn�t get over the fact that Kate left him

and left her own children for an entire year.

Yes, well, that is the... the comforting fantasy

that the assistant tells herself at night.

Not just comforting, but truthful.

To the characters.

Yeah. I�m not buying it.

I think my version is more believable.

And I think that when Kate finds out about the affair,

- she might want revenge. - [GASPS]

- Yes! - No.

I don�t think that the audience would like that.

- [MURMURING] - Think they might want it.

Liza, stop telling Pauline what to write.

Oh, that�s okay.

That�s okay. It�s always...

interesting to hear another point of view.

Even if it�s hard to swallow.

[TENSE MUSIC]

You wanted to see me?

Yeah, come on in.

I, uh wanted to run something by you.

Yeah, of course.

What do you think about making Devereux�s book

an Empirical title?

Makes sense from a marketing perspective,

and it�s not as if Empirical wasn�t a part of the process.

I mean, and... and you had a... a big hand in the...

the architecture of the book, right?

I would love to take credit.

But Kelsey practically invented that book.

She definitely rewrote it.

Yeah, this one�s hers.

[CHUCKLES]

Okay.

Then it, uh, stays with Millennial.

[PHONE BUZZING]

Excuse me.

[DOOR OPENS]

Hello?

Hi.

We need to talk.

[UPBEAT POP MUSIC]

? ?

- Hi. - I, um...

I have to tell you something. I saw Pauline today.

I know. I did, too.

She wants to make a deal.

She will keep quiet about us, and in return

she wants the option to her sequel back.

She says she can get double at Random House.

Well, that can�t work.

What would we tell Kelsey?

I�ll tell her it�s part of my divorce settlement.

Which is true.

I-I can�t believe you�re doing all this for me.

Us.

[SIGHS]

I just want to stay in our bubble.

[SWEET INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC]

As long as we can.

? ?

Okay. [SIGHS]

I just have... I just have one question.

Do... do bubbles have to be so scratchy?

- Oh... - [LAUGHS]

Oh, s... so the bubble has conditions, now?

- A small one. - Yeah, well...

Okay. I can work with it.

[LAUGHS]

? ?

? Show me what you got ?

? Show me what you got ?

? Show me what you got ?

Yes.

- Looks good, yeah. - Our first collaboration.

- Oh, yeah. - Yes! Amazing.

- Thank you, - You�re welcome.

Yeah, babe.

Oh, she�s coming.

- Good luck. - Later, thanks.

[WHIMSICAL POP MUSIC]

? ?

? Whoo! ?

? ?

I can do the work.

? ?

- What do you think? - I love it.

- I got you, right? - You got me, girl.

- [LAUGHS] - You got me.

? ?

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

[SIGHS] Get me three almonds

and some hot water with lemon.

He shaved.

[UPBEAT POP MUSIC]

Morning.

Wonder who he did that for?
