Previously on The L Word: Generation Q...

I can't do anything that's too...

real right now.

[Dre] Okay.

What the actual fuck, Taylor?

I'm sorry.

Yeah, I am, too.

-By the way, he dies in the end! -Oh, come on, lady!

You want to start your new life?

Call this exactly what it was.

An awakening.

For both of us.

-Fuck. Oh, my God. -[Shane] What?

[Angie] It's someone I dated, briefly.

Bum-ba-dum-ba-dum, bum...

[Shane] Hey, hey. Grab your shit. Come on.

I love you, but I am not

my full self when I'm with you, Finn.

I am on my own path,

I am taking swings.

[crying] My mom died.

[Shane] I'd like another chance.

And I-I want to earn your trust back.

[Tess] I can't do this back-and-forth, I just,

I need to get off this fucking ride.

[Finley] Are you okay?

No, I think I need to lie--

Hey. Carrie. Carrie!

Yeah, trouble finds me

[siren wailing]

[medic] Her heart rate is dropping, we're losing her.

[medic 2] Starting compressions.

I need epinephrine and bicarbonate going in, now!

[devices pumping, hissing]

-Stay with me. - In your corner...

She's stabilizing.

-[medic] I've got a pulse. -[medic 2] She's gonna make it.

Get her to CCU for observation.

[Carrie] See, she's not dead.

Next season, she has an affair with a patient

and she goes completely coocoo.

Okay.

Have many times have you seen this show all the way through?

I don't really want to answer that question.

-Okay. -All right?

Let's just say a lot.

-Uh-huh. -[Finley] Hey.

-[Carrie] Hey. -[Misty] Hey.

Hey, what did we say about starting the day

with a balanced breakfast and a little movement?

Well, we have said nothing,

but you apparently have said a lot.

Okay, well, the doctor said you got to get your steps in.

We're trying to heal here.

[Misty] Yeah, it's only been a week

since your heart attack, babe.

Oh, I find Grey's Anatomy

very healing, you know?

It's gotten me through some really rough patches

-in my life. -Thank you. That's nice.

-Well... -[TV turns off]

-Ah, come on. -That can be your reward

for doing your stress test today.

-Yeah? -Yep, we got a quarter mile

-up an incline, baby. -Ugh.

Yes, we have to do that. We're doing that today.

-Yeah. -[Carrie] All right.

Then you can do anything you want.

-Yep. -Including Misty.

[Misty] Ooh.

Sex as motivation. I like that. Yes?

-[Finley] Hey! -The two of you

are really bad, you know that?

-[Misty] Mm-hmm. -Oh, my God.

Ugh. Ugh. This is not eggs.

No, it's tofu.

Yeah? Well, tofu... fuck yourself.

No wonder I've never had it before.

I'm a lunatic

I'm a bitch

I'm-a, I'm-a, I'm-a

Light up all your shit

Blow a kiss like

Whoa-oh-oh

- I'm a lunatic - Whoa-oh-oh

I'm-a, I'm-a, I'm-a

I'm a lunatic, I'm a bitch...

[TV playing indistinctly]

[woman over TV] I think that's a great idea.

[woman 2] Yeah.

[woman] It's nice to know that I can always depend on you.

[both laugh]

-I love you so much. -I love you, too.

-Fuck you. -[door opens]

[Bella] Hey. I was hoping for chicken nuggets

but all they had was something called a "fish cake,"

so proceed with caution.

I'm not hungry, but thanks.

[Bella] G, this has to stop.

Get your sorry ass out of bed, put on some clothes,

and get to your reading.

I'm not going.

Hendrix can fail me if he wants,

I really don't care. [sniffles]

You're way too hot to be hung up on some Hemingway wannabe.

I hope to one day share that perspective.

I got to run to rehearsal

but when I get back, you better be gone.

I will definitely be here.

Angie...

I'm serious. I can't see him.

There's nothing in this whole world that's

-gonna make me want to go. -[knocking]

[scoffs] Who's that? Did you invite someone over?

[Bella] No.

-Surprise! -Surprise!

-Oh, my God. Oh, my God. -[Tina] Hey.

Wait, what are you guys doing here?

[Tina] Well, we weren't gonna miss your reading.

[Bette] We're gonna film it, is that okay?

No, no, the reading...

It's not a thing. It's a non-thing.

-Right? -Yep, a total non-thing.

[Bette] Well, not according to

the department website.

Are you coming?

-Me? No. -Yes.

[Bella] Yes.

-Is something wrong? -[Angie] Nope.

Is everything okay?

She's nervous.

-[Angie] I'm nervous. -Oh...

About the reading.

Big nerves about it, so...

Oh, honey, look, come here.

-Sit down. -Don't... Okay.

You have nothing to be nervous about, at all.

-That's what I told her. -It's gonna be great, okay?

Just breathe, like in your stomach sort of.

Okay. Just... You don't have to be nervous, honey.

Because you are an amazing writer.

Yes. And you have such command of the stage.

You were so terrific in your high school productions.

I was a stage hand.

And it was memorable.

-Okay. -[Tina] Well, that's good.

[Angie] Thanks. I hope that experience

can get me through today.

[Bette] It will.

And then afterwards we can all go out to dinner and celebrate.

[whispers] I made a reservation at Providence.

-[Bella] So bougie. -Okay, okay.

I guess, um,

-we're all going to this thing. -Yep.

-Yay. -Great.

[Tina] Um, maybe you should, um...

Are you gonna... Yeah, maybe change?

Uh, maybe just a quick shower.

-[Angie] Mom, stop. -Maybe just pits and bits.

Or you could wipe just...

-very fast with water. -Guys.

Or-or whatever you think is best.

-Totally fine. Okay. -[Bette] That's-that's good.

[Angie] Now go, so I can get ready.

-Okay. -[Tina] You can get ready.

-[Bette] Um, I love you. -[Tina] We're going.

[Bette] Break a leg.

[Tina] Bye. Nice meeting you.

[Bette] You look great.

[Bella] They're low-key iconic.

upbeat music

Uh-huh, oh, yeah

Oh, yeah

Uh, where she get it?

Uh-huh, uh-uh

[door closes]

Are you sneaking out?

Do you want some coffee?

No, um, I'm good, thanks.

It was really nice to have you here last night.

I think Mack missed you.

[laughs] He's a good boy.

Um, I was thinking maybe we could go talk to someone.

If-if you're ready to.

I'm not... yet.

Thought it might be a good idea.

Well, you also thought it would be a good idea

to fuck another woman, um...

I'm gonna go to the, um, expansion

and-and meet the tile guy.

I'll see you later.

You can try to fight it

Go ahead, if you dare

No one's gonna help you

This is life, it ain't fair

Do you got it?

Do you got it?

Look at these little jelly bean toes.

They're so squishy. Are you looking?

-Yes. -Like-- Look.

-Ooh! Oh, he's perfect. -[Sophie laughs]

I mean, his cat box is not perfect. It's like-- whew.

But I cracked a window.

Oh, look at this one. Look at this one.

Come on. Have you ever seen anything cuter?

[Sophie] Aww.

Yeah, just the other 200 pictures

you showed me of your kitten yesterday.

Anyway, um, how are those Rachel questions coming along?

-Oh, so good. -Okay.

Yeah, I can't believe we're wrapping this season

with the Rachel Maddow.

I mean, we are living the queer dream here, so...

[phone chimes]

Ooh, do you have the green? Ah.

There's only two.

-Um, Alice. -Yeah?

Did you interrupt a movie at a theater recently?

Who's asking?

Uh, everyone in my DMs.

Apparently James Corden retweeted the video

and now the hashtag...

-Oh, my God, that guy. -"AliceSoEntitled" is...

-is trending. -"Entitled"?

How is that even...

-All right. Yeah, I see it. -Wait a minute.

Did you yell at an elderly woman, too?

-Oh, my God. -What? What...?

Okay, we had a rapport until she turned on me.

Okay, and-and...

Oh, and then you told everyone how the movie ended.

Oh, my God, it was an old movie.

Everybody knows how the movie ends.

-Now everyone's talking about... -[phones buzzing, chiming]

...all this other bullshit you've done.

-[chiming continues] -[murmuring]

Alice, do you know a guy named Daryl Brewer?

exciting music

[gags quietly]

Oh, God.

All eyes on me

[Finley] Okay...

All right, here we are.

A quarter-mile incline with a view, baby.

I'm gonna run up ahead,

find the quarter-mile mark for us.

-You got this. -[Carrie] Okay. All right.

Just follow when you're ready. Stretch out.

-Don't get hurt. -All right.

[Carrie] Are you sure?

That looks like longer than a quarter mile.

Well, it's gonna get a lot closer once we get going.

-Yeah. -And then, uh...

we can get going.

[chuckles]

Well, you know, I would, uh, like that,

I just don't want to die during it.

You know?

-Okay. -Yeah.

You know, um...

I wasn't expecting to feel all these...

feelings with you, you know?

Yeah, me neither.

gentle music

I mean...

I'm not somebody who just,

you know, jumps right into sex stuff or whatever.

Okay.

I totally understand that.

-Yeah. -Yeah.

I can't take another heartbreak.

We don't have to do anything that you're not ready for, okay?

[Carrie sighs]

Obviously.

-Thank you. -Okay.

But also I'm very good at it.

-You're what? -[laughs]

I just-- I want you to have all of the information.

I am excellent at it, I've had a lot of practice,

it would be a, you know, shame to miss out, really.

I don't plan on missing out, Misty. At all. Oh, look,

a family is here. Hello. This is a family hike.

-No sex talk. -[Misty] All right, all right.

[Carrie] It's a family hike, Misty.

-[Misty laughs] -Come on.

Oh, that's a... that's an incline.

[Misty] We got this.

energetic, upbeat music

Up the tempo

Up the tempo

[Barry] Alice, I've got the board up my ass

and sponsors ready to pull.

What happened between you and Daryl Brewer?

I met him at a party. He was with his boyfriend.

Then his teammate came out of the closet, which...

was and is a very brave thing to do, Barry.

-Okay. -Then Daryl Brewer

goes on national TV, he gay-bashes him,

so I responded by calling him a fucking hypocrite

and by doing so, yes, I guess I outed him.

Oh, Alice.

But she feels very differently now, Barry.

No, I don't-- No, I don't.

I feel exactly the same way.

[Barry] People are angry.

They need to see genuine remorse.

If you can't give them that,

we think it's best if you cancel the show tonight.

Go home, lay low. Let this blow over.

Barry? [laughs]

I am not canceling on Rachel Maddow, okay?

Not my Maddow. Not my Maddow.

We're gonna figure this thing out, Barry.

We really want to deliver a great finale for our fans.

[Barry] That would be ideal, but...

Thank you so much for your leadership on this.

-We'll get back to you. -[Barry] All right,

I'm giving you one shot. Just don't make me

look like an asshole, Alice.

[Sophie] All right. Thank you, Barry.

All right.

What is the way out of this?

I have no fucking clue.

But we'll find it.

Well, at least you sounded like you knew.

So, that's a good thing.

What you want, what you need

Got the smoke, bring the weed

Gassed enough, tryna see

If you got that '93

Right now

Like it, like it, like it

Give me that good loud

Bring it now...

[laughs]

I think I figured it out.

Oh, yeah? The song's working?

[chuckles] I think so.

What's it about?

I'm not telling you that.

Oh, so it's a secret?

Yeah.

-Oh. -[both laughing]

Well, I like secrets.

-Let me see. -Mm-mm. Mm-mm.

-Gimme, gimme. -No, no, no, no, no.

-Give me a peek. -No.

I swear I can feel us getting close now...

-Come on. Tell me. -Mm-mm.

So discreetly when you see me in my Fenty

They on the floor, floor, floor

Let them inhibitions go, go, go...

God, I love you.

I mean, I love what you're doing.

Is what I meant.

Not, like, you.

[phone buzzing]

Um, it's... It's Sophie.

-I'm-a just... -Yeah.

-Um, please. -Yeah, okay.

Hey, Soph.

Perfect timing.

[quiet chatter]

[Angie] They probably can already tell.

They can, like, sniff this shit out.

[Bella] I'm the only person who knows

you're banging the professor, okay?

Was banging him.

Was.

[Hendrix] Hey, uh, good afternoon.

We're about to get started,

so if you could all please take your seats.

Thank you.

Bella.

Here, come join us.

-Oh, yeah. -Yeah.

[Bella sighs] Okay.

You got this. Good luck.

Do I?

[sighs]

You're the best person I know.

I don't know about that. That's...

Oh, you're smart and kind

and full of life and wisdom.

He's an idiot and you're a catch.

It's so obvious.

Says who?

gentle music

You got this.

[Hendrix] Thank you all for coming.

My name is Samuel Hendrix,

I'm the Intro to Creative Writing instructor.

And, yeah, okay. Here we are. Um...

I've been excited about this day the whole semester.

I've gotten to watch these young writers

really come in to their own.

And now, today, you all get a front-row seat

at the next generation of young poets

and writers of all kinds.

So, sit back, relax,

and let's have a good time.

Dani has written hundreds of these public apologies.

[Dani] I'm happy to give you a template

and then we can tailor it together.

Or a better idea, I could just lean in.

Uh, I don't know, Alice.

"Lean in" sounds like the opposite of "lay low."

Yeah.

[Alice] Okay, look, if people really

think that I'm an out-of-touch...

entitled asshole, then I say we make a bit out of it.

Uh, I fear that would make things worse. [chuckles]

Kimmel would do it.

-Um... -[Alice] Sophie.

You know he would.

Yes, but...

Kimmel isn't a queer woman.

Which is exactly why I should do it.

I know, Alice, I know.

-I hear you, but... -[Alice] Listen.

I don't mean any disrespect by saying this.

But you two do not know what it was like to be gay back then.

You just don't.

You weren't there.

Somebody with his power and his status

saying "down with the fags" was like a normal thing.

-We don't use that word anymore. -It's the anti-gay F-word.

Well, that's really long to say, but... Okay.

I just... I don't regret what I said.

So, I don't think I should apologize.

Okay.

Alice...

I see you, I really do.

And I get that this is what you want to do.

But I'm just trying to look out for the show here.

We're still the only ones on television.

gentle music

Okay.

I'll give you an apology.

Make you happy?

Yes.

I'm gonna go prep for Maddow.

If you guys come up with something, come find me.

Okay.

[sighs]

Thank you.

I'm just following your lead.

Where should we work?

Come on.

[student] A slim opening in the trees

gives way to the dirt path,

which weaves down the hillside...

[quietly] My car got broken into a couple days ago.

[student] Young trees...

I'm sorry to hear that.

Yeah, somebody shattered the window.

It cost me like 250 bucks to replace it.

What a terrible inconvenience.

I almost reported a theft.

Until I realized only one thing was missing.

What was that?

It was that chapbook you made me.

A criminal with good taste.

Maybe.

Or...

maybe an immature person whose feelings were hurt,

so they decided to vandalize

somebody's property for no reason.

I had a very valid reason, Professor Hendrix.

And you know it.

[student] ...revealing an aging playground.

Hey, Bella, do you want some candy?

I have a whole assortment in my bag if you want some.

Yeah, sure.

She always stocks up at Duty Free, yeah.

-She's kind of perfect that way. -Aww.

Well, thank you, that's so nice.

Hey, hey.

-Hi. -Hey. Come here.

Aww. It's so good to see you.

-I miss you guys. -Aww, I missed you.

-Hi, beautiful. -Hello, hello.

Oh, Shane, this is Bella. Bella, this is Shane.

How you doing, Bella? Nice to meet you.

Wow, hot aunt.

Okay. I feel that.

-Yeah. -Where's Tess?

She couldn't make it.

But she sends her love.

Mmm.

[student] ...our ballroom.

A sandbox waiting to be transformed...

I know it's not easy owning your own mistakes

and trying to make things right.

I know how that feels.

Mm.

She's a good person.

I know. I know.

She's just, uh...

She's not herself yet.

Yeah, well, that makes sense. Right?

-I mean, her mom just died. -Yeah.

You two are trying to figure things out.

I know, I know, I know. It's-it's...

It's more than that.

It just, it feels like we're not moving forward together.

gentle music

Trust takes time.

-Right. -Mm.

-Time and honesty. -Relentless honesty.

They've got good couples therapists

in Toronto, don't they?

[laughs] The best.

-Ah. -Universal health care.

Oh, okay, that's the secret.

[applause]

[Hendrix] Beautiful. Beautiful work, Ben.

Next up, we have Angelica Porter-Kennard.

-Whoo! -Go, G!

-[Bette] She looks nervous. -Wait, that's--

-[shushing] -Shh, she's starting.

tense music

[Angie] Hi. [clears throat]

Nowhere.

[busy chatter]

[sighs]

-Oh, hi. Oh, nice. -Hey, you approve?

Kitties everywhere. I love it.

-Hey. -Hey. What do you think of this?

"Sometimes I lose sight of my own power and responsibility

as a public figure and it's in those moments

that I betray myself and my community."

Mmm. Okay. Uh, the sentiment's there,

I just think it needs to be in Alice's voice

just a little bit more.

-Copy. -Yeah, yeah, yeah.

-[phone ringing] -Oh, uh, one second.

This is Sophie.

[Alice] Okay, okay. That's a lot of torque.

-Whoo! How many CCs is this? -Alice.

-What are CCs anyway? -Hey, Alice.

-Can I get you for a minute? -Do you know what a CC is?

[Alice] Yeah, okay, wait.

Here's what I'm wondering though.

The transition time between

landing with Rachel, right? And landing the jump.

Also, I think we should walk it through. Is she here?

Is she here yet?

She's not coming.

What?

Maddow pulled out.

Sophie...

Did she say why?

Alice...

Oh, my...

-[Sophie] But hey, hey. -[Alice sighs]

We tape in 45 minutes, we-we-we can call favors.

That's enough time. We can call people in. It's fine.

Let's just... cancel the finale.

-Excuse me? -Everyone, canceled!

Alice...

What's the point of all this, really? If you think about it.

Just like, oh, I get on stage every week and I'm...

you know, trying to bring a little joy to everyone.

Just trying to give a voice to all the queers!

And they turn on me?

It's not fucking worth it, okay?

Just run a, uh, clip show for all I care.

That, that-- I'm sorry, Sophie.

I'll... I'll pay for it if it's broken.

Hey. You okay?

somber music

What are you gonna do?

You gonna cancel the episode?

I'm gonna make a fucking show.

"Then I shouted to everyone, everywhere,

but my voice was heard by no one, nowhere.

I saw you in the mirror until I grew up

and realized there's nothing familiar about you anymore,

you were just empty space where love once lived."

Thank you.

[applause]

[whooping]

Wait, that's the guy.

-[Bette] Who? -That's the guy, that's her ex.

-No, no, that's her professor. -I'm telling you,

that's her ex. Bella. Is that her ex?

Or is that her professor?

tense music

Um... Uh...

[Tina] Hey!

Get away from my daughter!

I'm talking to you, Professor!

What are you...? Mom. Sit down.

-You're making a scene. -Don't speak!

What is wrong with you?!

[groans]

Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay.

[takes deep breath]

Margaret Cho is gonna come back as host,

-she's gonna kill it. -[Dani] Great.

So, that takes care of our three-minute opening monologue,

but that still leaves with me with four to five minutes short

without... Maddow. God.

What about Dre?

They've been working on new material.

They're new, but...

[Sophie] I've been wanting to do this kind of thing

for so fucking long.

Make the show about bringing in new talent.

Queer talent.

[Dani] Okay, then let's do it.

optimistic music

[Misty] You're almost there.

-Home stretch. Here we go, Care. -Just past this line.

[Carrie] I'm coming. I'm, uh...

-[Misty] Okay. -[Finley] Come on, right here.

[Misty] You can stop if you need to.

-Okay. Oh, God, I'm-- -[Finley] Right here.

-Yeah, come on. Right here. -Come on.

-Come on, you got this. -[Carrie] Oh, man.

You got this. A couple more steps.

-Come on. -A couple more, you can do it.

-Yes! -Yes! She's a beast, people!

-You did it. Are you all right? -Please give me...

Just give me a minute, give me a minute.

-How's the heart? -I don't know. I don't know.

Here, chug this.

-You need to drink this. -You okay?

-You okay? -Yeah. I think so.

What the fuck is in that?

-What? -Well, it's green powder.

-I thought it'd be good for you. -Oh, dude.

-It's got vitamins and stuff. -That's so not...

Come on, Finley, I like my water clear, like everyone does.

You know, I like my eggs to be eggs.

The doctor said, you know... I'm just, I'm trying to help.

I know, but you're driving me crazy.

Sorry, I just...

I thought I lost you and it was really fucking scary.

-I know. -[Finley] I just...

I don't want to lose you, I love you.

Not in a gay way.

I mean, you know, we're both gay,

-but... -Yeah.

I totally get that. I love you, too.

A lot.

Now, will you help me get down this fucking hill?

[Finley] Yep. I got you. Let's go.

-Let's go. Let's go. -Come on.

-Carrie? -What?

-I'm super gay for you. -You are?

-Mm-hmm. -That's good to know, Misty.

-Oh, boy, my legs are jiggling. -[Misty] Yeah?

[Finley] It's all right, it's only a half mile down.

[Carrie] A half mile? I knew you lied, Finley.

[Finley] I wanted you to see the view.

[Carrie] I don't want to see the view.

Oh

You just fucking humiliated me in front of my entire class.

[sighs] We trusted you to take care of yourself.

I am taking care of myself.

He belongs in jail.

Okay, why didn't you tell us?

-I... -Why didn't you tell me?

Because I don't owe you anything! It's my fucking life!

We obviously need to move back here.

No, I do not want you here.

-At all. -Which is clear.

I'm just gonna get a condo right next to your dorm

and I'm not gonna let you out of my sight.

-Okay. Okay. -Okay, okay, okay. All right.

All right, no. For the record, listen, we're blaming him,

-we're not blaming you. -What? No! Why?

Oh, honey, he took advantage of you.

No, he did not. You're not getting it.

-What is he? Like 27? 28? -[Angie] Yes.

Yeah, and it was nothing like that.

That's not the situation.

Honey, you just don't see it that way right now.

But later you're gonna understand:

he totally took advantage of you.

This is exactly why I don't tell you anything.

You're all acting like fucking hypocrites.

Like you've never fallen in love with someone that you shouldn't?

-It's fucking bullshit. -[Bette] Okay.

Okay. Okay. Um...

Oh, no, okay...

-It's fine. -[Bette] Okay, okay.

[sighs]

[sighs] All right, why don't we just, um...

I don't know, why won't we just go to dinner...

Fuck dinner. I don't--

I don't want-- I don't want to be around you.

Angie, wait up!

-Angie, wait up. Wait up. -No.

-They just treat me like a kid. -[Bella] No...

They just fucking humiliated me

and they didn't even fucking realize it.

Okay, now that I saw. I saw that.

Like, can you believe how wrong

they all are about the situation?

Like, they misjudged it so poorly, you know?

I-I sort of think... they're right.

What?

Uh, I just mean, um...

I think it's weird.

On his side. Not on yours.

How? I was the one that kissed him.

I know, but it-it's...

I was the one that told him that it was okay.

Do you understand what I'm saying?

He was the one that wanted to get out of it.

I don't want to seem like I'm a fucking kid

who doesn't know what she wants.

-Because that is not the truth. -I know.

I'm on your side! I am on your side!

I just-- He has all the power.

-Okay, whatever. -That's real.

May I please have my bag?

-May I please have my bag? -Okay.

Where are you going?

Don't worry about it.

Piddles Junior?

I had the worst day...

getting canceled.

Oh, my God.

What, am I gonna go back to podcasts? Because kill me.

Piddles?

Hey, little PJ?

[whistles]

PP?

Little PP?

Mr. P?

Where are you hiding?

Are you hiding from me? Are you hiding from me?

I see you. I see you.

PJ! PJ! Piddles!

[gasps]

tense, dramatic music

No... You're so little!

You're my trigger

Makin' me give in

Oh, I can't help it

Can't help it

Maybe you think all the bad could decay

But I think there's too much

That I'd need to erase

All my life I've been misunderstood

-[knocking] -Tess!

A dark intruder of the neighborhood

[knocking continues]

You might come to like the pain

If you fall in love

Hey.

-Hey. What's up? [laughs] -Um...

I wanted to talk to you about something.

Okay.

I haven't been honest with you.

I never thought we needed a second bar.

I just bought it because I wanted to make you happy.

[laughs]

We're in the middle of a renovation.

I know, I know, I know, but look,

they didn't even put the tiles up yet.

They're... They're here-- they're right here.

I understand, I understand.

But...

optimistic music

What if it wasn't a bar?

Then what would it be?

A salon.

It's just an idea that I'm kicking around, all right?

-So, bear with me. -Okay...

But on this side over here, a couple sinks.

All right? And then...

Along this wall right here,

the stations, with separate

floor-to-ceiling mirrors and some vintage barber chairs.

Huh? Like, ambient lighting.

Maybe a-a lounge area over in this section, but...

Whatever it is, it would be small and low-key.

You would be at Dana's and...

I could be here.

This is just something I've been missing, Tess.

What do you think?

I think... it's bullshit.

Why do you get to make up all the rules?

I don't, I don't, I don't.

Tess, this was an idea.

[Tess] No, you do.

You get to fuck whoever you want...

[Shane] I apologized for that.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

And now you're coming in here

and just, like, blowing this whole thing up.

This was my dream.

You are so fucking self-centered, it's exhausting.

It's like, if you're not happy, no one's allowed to be.

I can't do this anymore.

Do what?

I can't.

[sighs]

I can't do this. This.

Anymore.

dramatic music

Oh. This?

"Cold Blooded" by Ida Maria

I put my soul on ice...

Fuck you.

I got this question in my head

Can you wake me from the dead?

I am

Cold-blooded

I am

Cold-blooded

Purple, not red.

-Hi, guys. How are you? -Doing great.

Hi. Have the writers revise the cold open.

Sure.

Oh, hey. Um, cue the music cue-in later for Margaret.

I don't want to drown out

anything she says to the audience.

-Thank you. -Sure thing, Sophie.

[sighs]

We turnin' it up, we turnin' it on

We turnin' it up, turnin' it on and on and on

Right, so Margaret's gonna do your intro.

You're gonna get touches right before

you go on. And then the band does have your music, so--

Dani, Dani, Dani.

Are we just gonna pretend like this morning didn't happen?

Look, this moment is not about that right now, okay?

It's not about me at all, really. It's about you.

No, I know, but I--

[Sophie] Oh, thank God, hey.

We're live-to-tape in 20.

You're gonna fucking kill it.

-[laughs] -Okay, come on, let's go.

Turnin' it on, we turnin' it up

Turnin' it on and on and on

[clerk] Order 152.

I'm sorry we didn't make it to dinner.

It's okay. Burgers are good.

How are you so calm right now?

[scoffs] I'm not calm.

I'm vibrating at a very high frequency internally right now.

Just trying to stay mindful,

to reserve my white-hot anger for him

instead of letting it decimate some innocent bystander.

[clerk] Order 153.

I just... I feel like we should go find him and just...

We can't do that.

We want our daughter to tell us stuff.

I mean, she didn't even feel like she could talk to us.

She was right.

So, instead of murdering him,

I think we should just eat some fries.

gentle music

I feel like we're losing her.

We are.

-She's pushing us away... -No, don't say it. Don't say it.

...and that's exactly what she's supposed to be

-doing right now. -I hate it.

-I hate how it feels. -I know, I know.

Me too, but we want her to carve out her own path, right?

And she's ready. She's so fucking smart.

I know she is.

But it doesn't matter how smart you are,

because you're gonna fuck up along the way.

-Yeah. -Right?

Yeah, you're right.

-[clerk] Order 160. -[indistinct chatter]

[Tina sighs]

I think I want a number three.

-Hmm. -That's what I usually get.

-I'm gonna get that. -Before I forget to tell you,

it was so sexy watching you stand up for her.

-Really? -Yeah.

Are you flirting with me?

Maybe.

I think you are flirting with me.

-Hey. -Hi, um,

can we get two number threes

-with cheese and... -Fries.

-Ooh, yeah, fries. -Fries.

And a large Coke.

-Yeah, we can do that. -Two straws.

-We're gonna share it. -[laughter]

Piddles?

[kissing]

PJ? I got your favorite.

Well, it's technically my favorite but it's got chicken.

-You love chicken. -[rustling]

Piddles?

[rustling]

Piddles?

I hear you. I hear you.

[screeching]

That's a rat. That's a rat.

Oh! [shudders]

Oh...

[panting]

Okay, I get it.

I stand by my reasons for doing it,

but I should've apologized for the rest.

I get it, it's payback.

But karma shouldn't hurt cats.

[meowing in distance]

optimistic music

Piddles? [kissing]

Piddles?

Psst, psst, psst, psst.

[meowing]

Where are you?

[meowing]

Piddles. Piddles!

Piddles, Piddles, Piddles.

Oh, my God.

-[meowing] -You're so high.

-Okay. -[meowing]

Um...

Yeah, let's just call somebody.

[muttering] 911?

[line ringing]

[dispatcher] 911. What's your emergency?

Hi, um, okay, this is not an emergency.

I-I... My cat is-is stuck in a tree.

-[meowing] -Can you repeat that?

I'm so sorry.

Like, obviously I did not tell them to say any of that.

And I know that's exactly

-what you were afraid of. -Yeah. Well...

And so I, well...

-What are you doing? -[Hendrix] I'm-I'm packing up

my stuff. I'm leaving.

Did they fire you?

[Hendrix] Angie, take a breath.

Everything is okay. I chose to resign.

You did not have to do that, I could've...

I could've told whoever you wanted

that it was me in the first place.

[Hendrix] Hey, you have done me a huge favor.

I never should've taken this job.

Okay? It's been holding me back. And now...

I can truly focus full-time on my book.

Oh. Okay.

Good for you.

So you don't work here anymore?

Nope. I'm a free agent.

I'm an unemployed writer. Now, I got to figure out--

Stop talking.

I can't ignore you

I really, really want you

So, baby, bring it over to me

Okay, fuck her.

Right?

-Yes. -Yeah.

Also, there's something about her face.

-Rubs you the wrong way. -It does.

Yeah. Don't worry, she dies in a plane crash.

[laughs]

Thank you for the spoiler.

[both laughing]

I really actually like this show.

gentle music

-Hi. -Hi.

Are you sure?

I'm sure.

somber music

-Hey. -[crying] I'm sorry.

-Hey, Carrie. -I'm sorry.

It's okay.

I didn't expect to feel this much, you know?

Yeah.

I almost died.

I know, I know.

It hasn't really sunk in yet, I don't think.

Listen, Carrie, I'm not going anywhere.

Neither are you.

-Oh, my God, that's so good. -[mouth full] Oh, my God.

Do you ever miss L.A.?

Mm, no.

Hmm.

Not really.

Mm.

I have you, I could be anywhere.

Yeah, I feel the same way.

I want to spend the rest of my life with you.

Same.

What if we got, um...

Ah. What if we got married?

You know? I don't know.

Throw a party for our friends or something like that.

Something fun.

gentle music

That's what the dinner was supposed to be for.

Really?

Yeah.

-[laughs] -I can't believe you did that.

[laughs]

Do you like it?

Yeah.

I like it a lot.

-Can I put it on? -Yeah.

You sure you like it?

My God, it's been in my bag all night. It's been killing me.

Oh, you're so sneaky. I don't know how you did that.

-[both laughing] -I love it.

It's so beautiful.

I love you.

I love you, too.

-Mm. -I'm just...

I want it on record that I asked you first.

Oh, okay.

But one could argue that ring

is proof that I had the idea first.

Okay. One could argue.

But one wouldn't.

No, one most certainly would not.

[both laugh]

Where have you been?

I've been waiting my whole life

For someone like you to keep me on my light

I've been down, I've been up

Where, where, where are you now?

Sometimes it takes more time than expected

My patience is running thin so I keep pretending

I'm not down, I'm not out

But where, where, where are you now?

Ooh, ooh

[Misty moaning]

Is it you?

[Carrie] Oh! Oh! Oh, yeah!

Ooh

I found you

I'm not afraid of what's near and what's coming

I want the love so do away with the runnin'

I've been high, I've been low

So when, when, when will you show?

Yeah

Ooh, ooh

Is it you?

Ooh

I found you

All right, all right, all right

On my way to better days

I never was good at change

You're the only place I want to stay

I found you, I found you

I found you

Ooh, I found you

Ooh, it's only you

[sniffing]

You

Oh...

Oh!

Is it you?

Yeah

You

Oh

Honey, I found you

[whooping]

I found you

[applause and cheering]

-[whooping] -Yeah, Dre!

[Dre] The Lyft driver did not need to know that about me.

[Dani] Oh, yes, she did.

She's gonna be like,

"I drove Dre home the night of their first show."

[laughs]

She's never gonna say that.

Well, I follow her on Instagram now,

so we'll see who's right in the end.

Are-are you going somewhere?

Yeah, I'm gonna head home.

Today was the best day of my life.

And I owe you everything.

-But... -[zipper closes]

I meant what I said earlier.

I'm falling for you.

tense music

And if...

you don't feel the same way,

I should probably head home.

Protect my heart a little.

So...

Where you at?

[indistinct chatter]

PJ? PJ. Oh, my God.

Oh, here, you should eat this, it's really good.

-[meowing] -Hi, honey.

Oh, thank you so much. Thank you. Oh.

Was that so scary? Hi, honey.

-Beautiful. -Hi, Alice.

[meowing continues]

"Bad Idea" by Dove Cameron

Oh, my God. That is so annoying.

Could've said this day was coming...

-Fuck this day. -Nice to see you, too.

You know what?

I don't feel the same way, Tasha.

-I was being sarcastic. -Okay, well,

as you know, I have had a very, very bad day.

Oh, have you? And how am I supposed to know that?

Oh, I don't know, because I've been in the news

for the last 24 hours about everywhere.

I mean, you've seen it, right? They've all seen it.

[Tasha] Well, this may come as a shock to you,

but I don't actually have a Google Alert set to your name.

Right. Because you hate celebrity culture.

It's just so vapid, it's so meaningless,

and blah, blah, blah.

You never change.

Well, I take that as a compliment.

It wasn't intended as one.

-[meows] -Yeah, let's get out of here.

Thank you very much, everybody,

present company excluded,

for saving my kitten.

We're happy together again. Have a wonderful evening.

Heroes. Heroes.

Something, face to face

Alice, wait.

I know I shouldn't do it, but I'm gonna do it

Seems exactly where I shouldn't go

I'm running to it...

There's paperwork.

I got a lot of sins

But you're my favorite

Baby, you're a bad idea

But I could do a few more years

I've got a little left in here

Funny how you reappear

In the nick of time

I guess it didn't die

Can't say we didn't try
