Previously on
The L Word: Generation Q...

After, we're gonna go
to your family's house in Ojai.

- Ugh...
- Oh...

- Hello?
- I never

want to see you again.

I'm going to the Frogtown Art Walk.

This is the work of Pippa Pascal.

She disappeared, until now.

I made a mistake.

- Will you just forgive me?
- I don't know how.

Just one more thing.
I need these signed.

Your will? "Power of attorney".
What's going on?

- So beautiful, huh?
- It's amazing.

We should do this again sometime.

Mama T and I specifically told you

- not to do the DNA website.
- But I have a half sister.

- You don't.
- And I'm supposed to meet her.

- You're Kayla, right?
- Yeah.

- I'm Angie.
- Wow.

You're kind of sweet, huh?

- You're totally blushing.
- I'm not blushing.

Why don't you let me show you around

your new neighborhood?

Nat's here with her date. I didn't think

seeing them was gonna hurt this bad.

You deserve someone
who can do this with you.

No, Alice...

I'm gonna go.

I had the best time tonight.

The pleasure was all mine.

The fuck is going on?

Rodolfo Nùñez, you are under arrest

for criminal conspiracy and fraud.

Dad?

- Dad. Dad. Dad.
- Ma'am, please back up.

- Move, I live here.
- You have the right to remain silent.

- Dad, what the hell's going on?
- Anything you say...

Everything's gonna be okay, huh?
Call my lawyer.

- No. What?
- Call my lawyer.

Excuse me, could you
tell us what's going on?

Hi. Could you tell us
what's going on right now?

No, I can't right now. I actually

- need you to just step back.
- Dad...

- Back up.
- Dad.

Dad!

- Synced and corrected by Firefly -
- www.MY-SUBS.com -

Of course, your horse

took a massive fucking dump.

Yeah, and yours walked right through it.

Right, okay.

Hey, do you want to do
something tonight?

No horse talk, I promise.

I would, but I have a date

with this man-child
I am way too good for.

- Got it.
- You want to come?

No, no, I do not want to ruin
your perfect night.

No, no, no. I want to set you up

with this guy I work with. Harry.

It'll be perfect. He's 27, a lawyer.

Not a great sense of humor

but a body that would make that okay.

I don't know.

It would make my life so much easier.

Okay.

Okay.

This is a call from Rodolfo Nùñez,

an inmate at the East Los Angeles Jail.

To accept charges, press star now.

Holy shit.

- Oh, hey.
- Hey.

Late night at the bar?

Uh, no. I got up early
and went for a run

and then, uh, decided
to kick the ball around.

- Really?
- Yeah.

Alice said they needed refs
at the community center.

Nat's kids play soccer there,

and, uh, I always wanted
to coach kids' sports.

It's kind of my career ambition.

- Oh.
- Either way,

I'll have a great sock tan
by August, so be jealous.

What are you up to?

Uh, I'm just working
on this segment pitch for Alice.

Oh, yeah, I heard you
pacing really late.

Ooh, I couldn't sleep.

I feel like I'm close to cracking it

- but I'm not quite there.
- Mm, you'll figure it out.

Plus, Alice loves you, dude.

She'll love whatever you bring
her as long as it's yours.

Or hers. She loves
her own ideas most of all.

But somewhere

- in that sweet spot.
- Thanks.

You want a waffle? Ooh.

There's one. We can go halfsies.

Or, uh, or you could just have it.

- I can, um...
- Nah, you go ahead.

You sure? There's... ice cream.

It's pretty much just
like a dairy smoothie.

Do you want to go out
for dinner tonight?

I could, uh, I could use
something to look forward to

after a day of banging my head
against the wall.

Yeah. Um...

For sure.

You want to go to, um,
that sushi place on Hyperion?

- We can eat on the curb.
- Yeah, sure.

Or I can pick it up and I will
take a Lyft this time

so it doesn't get warm like last time.

No, let's just, uh,
let's just meet there at 7:00.

7:00. Okay. Great.

Did you sleep okay?

No. I lost hours of my life
scrolling through videos

of soldiers being reunited
with their families...

thank you... which, you know,
started the crying.

- As it does.
- And then, you know,

that led to more videos of soldiers

being reunited with pets.

- Oh, those will kill you.
- Oh, they're the greatest.

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

Oh, then, like, three hours later

I took something
that I think was a Xanax

in your medicine cabinet?

Probably just a vitamin D supplement.

- Oh.
- But I'm happy it worked.

- I guess it worked.
- I'm sorry, Al.

It's okay. I mean, I think
I got all my crying out.

And now I have to go tell my mother

to get out of my house,

and she's not gonna take that well.

Well, I can talk to Lenore
for you if you like.

- That's very generous of you.
- We're very aware of that.

- Thank you, Shane.
- Uh, pancake or waffle?

- Pancake.
- You know, you can always

stay here, for as long as you like,

if you need a place to stay.

I-I have to go hunt down a
prospective client later today,

but I can just leave you an extra key.

Is that why you're all dressed like a...

- Like what?
- A million bucks?

Oh, thanks. Just for work.

Mm-hmm.

Rodolfo said that his lawyers
went to try and talk to her

this morning but she didn't answer

and she's not answering my calls.

Okay, then she just needs space.

No one's heard from her, though.
Not one person.

She's not home and her car's gone.

- Well, then she went for a drive.
- Her phone is off.

Okay, then she doesn't want to be found.

Don't blow this off.

Micah, what do you want from me?

I want you to find her.

I haven't heard from her in weeks,

and... she wouldn't want me to find her.

All right, maybe she doesn't
want you to find her, but...

she needs someone.

How can you not see that?

Just make sure she's okay,
and have her call me.

You know, my moms would always say

I could be president
or Supreme Court judge, but

whenever anyone would ask me,
like, "What do you want to be

when you grow up?" I would say Snoopy.

'Cause I was four, and it seemed doable.

- That's amazing.
- Yeah, it's, uh...

What did you want to be?

Oh, um, I wanted to be a dancer. Yeah.

Well, you could still do it.

- Maybe.
- Yeah!

You sound like my dad.

Sorry. I didn't mean to bring him up.

- Well, like...
- Oh...

I know we talked about him,
like, a little bit

the other day, but, like,
is it weird if I talk about him?

- No.
- Oh.

And I don't want you
to think that, like,

I'm only hanging out
with you to, like...

- No. No, no, no. No, no, no.
- get to him in some way.

Angie, I can tell you're not,
like, using me or whatever.

- Yeah. Yeah.
- Okay, good.

'Cause I'm, like, really
happy to know you.

Dude, me, too.

Good.

Yeah.

So, what's he like?

Oh. Well...

He's like...

He's just, like, a big kid, you know?

And he's an artist, so he can, like,

be serious and focused.

- I knew he painted, so...
- Yeah. Yeah, yeah.

And he can play, like... like,
literally any instrument.

- Really? So can I.
- Mm-hmm.

I think you would like him.

'Cause he's a lot like you.

There is something that I want you

to know about him, though,

Mm-hmm?

I just don't know how to tell you.

Well, I mean, you can tell me anything.

All right, I'm thinking

we can project this
on the wall out back.

The red brick wall?

- Yeah.
- It has to be white.

- It does?
- Yep.

And so I was thinking
we start at maybe, like, 9:00?

- I was thinking 10:00.
- Even better.

Um, and I've got all the chips and cards

in line for tomorrow.

Uh, the new shipment just
showed up from the distributor,

so I will have Finley
take care of all of that.

- And I think that's it.
- That's a lot.

- You do a lot.
- Just my job.

I know, but with movie night,
karaoke, poker,

it's just...

I-I really could not
do this without you.

I, um, I got to, I got to take this.

I'll be right back.

Hello?

Yes, this is she.

Hey, um, so something just came up.

I got to go, uh, but I promise

I will be back before the rush tonight.

You okay? Where you going?

Vegas.

You can't drive to Vegas and
back in a day. That's insane.

No, it's not. I do it all the time.

All right, well, look,
I mean, i-if you go,

at least make a good time
out of it, spend the night.

I mean, what if I went with you?

We could make it a business expense.

Maybe next time, okay?

But part of the fun of Vegas
is the spontaneity, right?

So, I'm not going for fun.

My mom lives there.

Oh. Um, I'm sorr... Is-is she okay?

I'll be back tonight. Okay?

And don't try to put the
projector together without me.

- But I can do it.
- Trust me, just don't do it.

Okay?

See you soon!

- I've got a gun!
- Okay, Mom.

Oh, Alice. You shouldn't
just barge in here like that.

It's my house. What's with the doormat?

Oh, the alarm thingy kept beeping,

so I had someone get rid of it
and figured this mat

would give me fair warning
of an intruder.

And it did.

Could have been the battery.

Did you call the alarm company?

God, no. They just want
to make a quick buck.

I'm sure you can relate.

If you're referring
to my small business...

You mean your scam?

It's a multi-level marketing company.

Potato, potahto.

You will be pleased to know

that you are looking at
Swan's Breath Cosmetics'

platinum salesperson.

Aw, fuck me.

Now, look, it's fairly new.
I've invested

- a lot of my own capital.
- Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep.

I don't... This... Yeah.

Uh...

Nat and I broke up.

- Oh, sweetie.
- I know.

We... It-it ran its course,

so it's probably better this way.

Is that why you look so terrible?

That feels unnecessary.

Sweetheart, I'm so sorry.

I know how much you loved her,
and the kids.

- Mm.
- You know, as much as

a person can love kids.

Yeah.

Anyway, uh, I'm moving home, so...

Okay, well, great.

I'm gonna need the place to myself.

Oh. No.

- What?
- You need me.

Oh, I really don't.

You do not need to wallow
in this house alone.

You said numerous times
Natalie filled a void

in your heart you never
thought you would fill.

I know, I know, but I'm fine, and I just

need my space back.

And... great news... I found you
an apartment in Brentwood.

And thank God it has a second
bedroom for your Swan's, um...

- Breath.
- Yeah, that.

So it's next to
the tea shop you love, too.

And I'm gonna pay for everything,

and it's gonna be just like
this... I'm gonna pay for it all.

You're not going to tempt me

with a fancy apartment and cheese.

You need me.

What are you doing? Ugh.

It's a little Swan's Breath Calm
to cool the nerves.

Listen, Mom, I love you. I really do.

But you got to be out by Monday.

Okay?

I'm glad you called.

You okay?

My... donor's dying.

Aw, shit.

Oh, Ange, that's a lot.

What do I do?

Should I meet him?

I don't know.

Adults aren't supposed to say that.

All right. I mean...

- do you want to meet him?
- Shouldn't I?

What would you do?

That's-that's a...
that's a hard one to answer.

That's 'cause you knew your dad.

Barely.

You know that.

- Hmm.
- Don't you?

Yeah.

He left, um...

He left when I was very young.

And then I was in
and out of foster care.

And, uh, when I felt like I was ready,

I-I tracked him down.

And I realized I didn't like the guy.

Why?

Well, he, uh...

He reinforced the worst parts

that were in me.

And I made a very poor
decision because of that.

What did you do?

I left someone that I loved
very much at the altar.

- Shit.
- Yeah.

Sometimes I think I would have
been a lot better off

- had I never met the guy.
- Mm.

All right, let me ask you something.

What are you gonna get
out of meeting him?

He's half my DNA, so...

it would be really nice to know

which parts of me are from him, and...

You talk to your moms about this?

Well...

All right, that's a bad question.

Um, all right, where's Jordi?

She is running for prom queen.

So we are on sort of different
life pages at the moment.

Okay.

You think Mama B would
let me see a therapist?

I think if that's something you need,

she'd be more than willing
to give that to you.

Then why am I so scared to ask her?

Because it's scary, Ange.

It's scary, but it's impressive,
and brave,

asking for what you need.

Not many people do that.

The fuck are you doing here?

Oh. Wow.

You can't even give me space
when I run away

into the woods. It's unbelievable.

Oh, God, you and your fucking space.

It's all I ever asked you for,
and you could never just...

But it's not called space
if you don't ever come back.

- It's called avoidance.
- It's not, it's...

And did you ever think
that maybe for a second

that that was me trying to love you?

Fuck, you make it impossible.

Everyone's worried about you, Dani.

I drove 70 miles on a hunch to
make sure that you were alive.

Well, I am.

Great.

Can I come in and take a piss, at least?

Sure.

It's the first door on the
right, past the staircase.

I know, I remember.

Oh, it smells good in here.

It's delivery from that Thai place

you pass on the way out of town.

You mean that place you never let us go

'cause they got a kitchen cat?

It's takeout. It's different.

All right, well,

that cat was all up
in that pad see ew. Mm.

Oh, and better call Micah. He's
been worried about your ass.

Oh, hey, look. I love these ones.

You know, sometimes they also
have these giant lilies,

- and they're super...
- You think Soph'll like these?

I thought these were for the house.

No, no. I do like how these guys

match my new blazer, though.

- I like that.
- Yeah. They-they do, but...

What?

Hey, did someone help you pick that out?

'Cause it fits you perfectly.
It's-it's nice. It's...

Oh, yeah. A lady named Barbara
at Men's Warehouse.

It took her a minute, but once
we established I was not

a 14-year-old boy,
she was actually pretty cool.

Well, you look great.

Thanks, man. That's nice.

Look at you, giving compliments.

Seriously, Fin, you look...
you look happy, you know?

- Like...
- Thanks.

Well, maybe that's because
you're looking at the new

volunteer referee at
The Silver Lake Community Center

- Pee Wee Soccer League, baby.
- Shut up.

- Yeah, swear to God.
- Pee Wee. Oh, my God.

- Yeah, I got it.
- Wow.

Yeah, they pay me in juice boxes.

I love this for you.

- Seriously, this is awesome.
- Thanks, dude.

Sophie's pumped, too, so...

What are you doing?

Me? I'm buying some flowers.

She asked for time, Fin.

She asked for sushi.

She asked for time.

It's just dinner.
It's not, like, a thing, okay?

Okay. No, I agree, it could
be not a thing, but...

you're clearly making it
into a pretty big thing.

I...

Okay, I get what you're saying.

And I think you're looking out for me,

which is actually really nice,

'cause I know you're close with Dani.

Yeah.

But I know it's not perfect.

I know it's, like,
an uphill battle or whatever,

but it's Sophie, dude.

It's worth it.

And when something's worth it, it's...

I'm not scared to make
an ass of myself, I guess.

Or I already made an ass of myself,

so there's nothing to lose.

Kind of. Yeah.

Here you go. Thank you.

Hi.

I'm Bette Porter.

I know who you are.

I am so glad to meet you.

I... I am such an admirer of yours,

- since I was in...
- One might assume

leaving my work unsigned,

occupying a studio
far from the art world

would send a clear message
I don't want to be found.

I connected those dots and I came to

the very same conclusion.

Yet here you are.

'Cause I also decided
that if you slammed the door

in my face it would be worth it
if I got the chance to tell you

the world wasn't ready for you
when you got your first break.

Sure, Micah, I will.

Love you, too. Bye.

I didn't mean to worry
anybody. I just...

I'm not ready to be deposed by lawyers.

What are the charges against your dad?

Do you think that
there's anything there?

I don't know.

I really don't want to talk about this.

Okay.

I don't think it's unreasonable

that I don't want to talk about the fact

that he probably did something horrible.

Okay.

And he obviously knew
the arrest was coming.

How did-how did he know that?

He made me sign a bunch of documents.

I thought he was dying, but he...

he knew.

I'm sorry.

Um...

do you need anything?

Yeah.

Can you just undo
the last couple months?

No.

But you're not alone in the world.

I'm always gonna be here for you.

Whether you want me or not.

How do you always know
what I need to hear?

Because I know you.

Do you?

You meant a lot to me, Dani.

You still do.

I wish you believed that.

I do.

- No, wait.
- Huh?

We can't.

We can't. Hey.

Here.

Touch me.

_

_

Uh, hi.

I'm-I'm Micah, can I-can I
help you with something?

Yes, hi. Um, I'm A-Angie.

Uh, we've actually met before.

- I'm Bette Porter's daughter.
- Yeah.

- Yeah.
- Yeah, I thought so. Sorry.

It's, uh, it's nice to see you again.

You, too.

Um...

I'm sort of going
through things right now

that I'm sort of confused about.

Of course. We've got
a great team here, actually,

my-my colleague, Claudia, she's
the head of the medical staff

- if-if that's what you might...
- Oh, no.

No. No, no. That's not it.

Um...

Uh...

I just need to talk to someone.

Sure. Uh, well, we open tomorrow

back at 8 a.m., you know, if...

You know...

I've actually got time right now.

- You do?
- Yeah. Let's...

let's get you signed in,
and we can just...

go from there... you can tell me

- what's on your mind.
- Okay.

Yeah.

Jesus.

♪ A thousand times ♪

♪ There's nothing to say ♪

Good God, woman.

I'm, I'm persistent.

You do know trespassing
is a crime, right?

I saw your senior thesis

when I was an undergraduate at Yale.

So did my mama.

It changed me

on a cellular level

and-and a practical one.
I-I switched my majors

from Comparative Literature
to Art History.

Neither of which are
particularly useful.

I drove to New York during finals

to see your first postgraduate show

at Amelia Spalter Gallery.

- You did?
- Yes.

I did. And-and I was there

at the opening of your first museum show

at the Studio Museum in Harlem.

And I joined the protests

when your extraordinary piece,
America's Original Sin,

was dropped from the Whitney Biennial.

Yeah, that was painful.

Not as painful as your op-ed.

I wept when I read that
you had quit the art world.

And I never fully let go of the fantasy

that you were tucked away
in some mountain cave somewhere,

living off the land.

You weren't too far off.

Come on.

_

You all right?

You gonna need some
smelling salts or something?

Yeah, I think so.

Will wine work?

Dinner would be better.

I will not be manipulated by you.

It's just dinner.

Hello?

Hey. Hey. It-It's me.

Yeah, I know who it is.

Your, uh, picture in my phone
kind of gives you away.

Um...

Yeah. I'm so sorry,

but I-I can't make it tonight.

Oh, no problem. What's going on?

Uh, y-you working late?

Uh... yeah.

I'm, um, I'm up in Ojai.

Just trying to get some inspiration

for that segment I owe Alice.

Oh, that's awesome.

How's it going?

It's... good.

Yeah. It's going... well.

All right. Well, crush it, and I'll, uh,

see you at home,
either tonight or tomorrow?

Yeah. I'm... I don't, I don't
know which yet, but yeah.

Great.

Can I get a rain check?

Yeah, of course. I'm down

for curbside sushi any day.

All right, well, um...

I'm gonna head, since you're
standing me up and all.

I'm not standing you up.

No, I'm just messing with you.

Uh, good luck in Ojai, okay?

Thanks.

Hey, man. There's some sushi
there if you want it.

Mom?

Oh, my God. Angie, what's going on?

I was just headed out to dinner.

Is everything all right?

No.

What is it?
What's going on? Is it school?

- No, no.
- Is it Jordi?

Is it Kayla?

No. Um...

I think I need to talk to someone.

Oh.

You know, you can always
tell me anything.

I know. But it's...

it's hard, you know?

Especially when I think
it's hard for you to hear.

Okay, I understand.

I, um...

I will do my best just to listen, okay?

Is there anything in-in particular

that you're worried about?

I went to see a therapist today.

A-Are you okay?

Okay, listen, w-were you happy
with the therapist that you saw,

or do you want me to make an
appointment with someone else?

No, I liked him.

But maybe you could come with?

It's Micah.

Dani's friend.

Okay. Sure.

Of course.

I'd like for us all to go.

Do you think you could do that?

Um, when you say "us all",
who exactly do you mean?

You, me, Mom and Carrie.

I would just have to ask Tina first...

I already spoke with them and...

they said that they can if you can.

Sure.

Of course, sweetheart. Come here.

I'd do anything for you.

- I love you.
- You, too.

Yeah, it was just a little bag.
Like, I just took a...

What'd you do? You sleep
at a hotel or something?

No, I stayed with my friend Bette.

She still dating your ex's ex-wife?

You have a really great
memory for gossip.

I'm good like that. I'm telling you.

It's all in the notes.
It's all in the notes.

All right, so what are we gonna
write about today?

Uh, well, when I was
going through everything,

the only chapter we haven't
circled back on

was the Dana one.

- I gave it to you.
- Yeah.

It's light. You could dig deeper.

I'm happy with it...

- Yeah? Really?
- ... the way it is. Yeah.

When I was in middle school,
I was really into magic.

You and I would have not been friends.

For my 13th birthday,
my big brother Mike,

he took me to The Magic Castle.

Got me the fake magic wand
from the gift shop.

Was the real wand too expensive?

Ha. That night, he dropped me
off at our parents' house

and drove back to college and...

I was so excited, I couldn't sleep.

So I was up when the phone rang.

It was a freak accident.
No, no drunk driver.

No one's fault. It was
just one of those things.

But like that, my brother was gone.

- He was 19 years old.
- I'm really sorry.

It's okay.

I like to think he's up in heaven

doing magic tricks, cheering me on.

What about Dana?
Is she up there rooting for you?

Nah. She's, uh...

she's too busy playing tennis.

- She was the love of your life.
- Can we just not do this?

Really? What?

Come on.

- What?
- Come on.

I see her when my eyes are closed.

Y... But I also see her
when my eyes are open.

I can hear her laugh.

I smell her smell.

I, I can feel her.

And I miss her so much sometimes,

the emptiness is, like...

But there's nothing I can do
about it because she's gone,

and I do not want to dwell on the fact

that she was taken from me

and robbed of a life

because of some fucking disease, okay?

I don't want to do it, Tom, okay?

You think maybe you could
say that again, but maybe

- just a little bit slower...
- Oh, my God, you're the worst.

- ... so I can jot it down?
- You're the worst.

I know.

I regret the fettuccine Alfredo.

It's gonna take me, like,
a week to burn that off.

So...

So what?

I mean, I know you missed
half the dinner...

I'm sorry, all right, I couldn't,

I couldn't bail on a new client.

I'm playing, but what
do you think about Harry?

He's-he's fine.

I just don't think he's exactly my type.

Is he boring?

It's a little more
complicated than that.

Why?

I'm just, I'm not sure that I'm...

Into lawyers?

- Gay.
- Oh. Okay.

Yeah. Uh, I think that

I'm into women, as well.

Shit, I am so sorry. Did I offend you?

No. No, I mean, how could you know?

I'm still sort of just trying

to figure it all out myself, honestly.

Okay, good. Well, can I ask,
how long have you felt this way?

It's... recent.

Okay, well, maybe I can find you a woman

to date.

Yeah.

Yeah, okay, maybe. Yeah.

- Or, you know...
- Lyft's here.

Okay, one second.

I'm sorry, what were you gonna say?

Um, nothing.

- Every plate is like a work of art.
- Mm.

I can see why you love coming here.

- I love the privacy.
- Mm.

Should we get dessert?

Well, since you're paying,
I don't see why not.

Better yet, we'll have Zakarian
foot the bill, so do your worst.

I was hoping this wasn't a big setup.

- It's not a setup.
- I mean, I guess

I should be impressed

that you waited until
after dinner to pitch me.

You've shown great restraint.

Of course I want to work with you.

I want you to join the gallery.

Why would I do that?
Isaac Zakarian is a racist.

Because I will represent you.

If you had gone out on your own,
we'd be having

a completely different
conversation right now.

If I had gone out on my own,
I wouldn't have the resources

that partnering with someone
like Isaac affords.

- That sounds like a compromise.
- No, it's strategic.

I joined Zakarian
to bring on artists of color

who have been historically
and systemically shit on.

Well, I definitely fall
under that category.

You are brilliant.

You know that.

And I know that you cannot be happy

showing in no-name galleries.

You and I both know your work
needs to be seen by the masses.

Yeah, but your boss
doesn't seem to think

there are any Black or brown
artists who are ready.

Yeah, I've heard him say that verbatim

- throughout the years.
- Okay, I'm not, I-I am...

- not going to defend him.
- Okay.

Okay? But you should know

that I am using
the power of his resources

to try to mitigate
the damage that's been done.

- How's that?
- Okay.

I recently signed Kismet Russell
and have been able to secure

full funding for his next
project within a matter of days.

Now, if he had gone out on his own,

we both know it would've
taken him years to get funding.

Bravo. It's still Zakarian's name.

His gallery, his beliefs.

All right, at his best,
he's a work in progress.

- He's a piece of shit.
- That, too.

It's nice, talking to someone
as smart as you.

Likewise.

And as beautiful.

You know you're beautiful, of course.

How could you not know?

So I think it's okay to mention it.

You are the most beautiful
woman I have ever seen.

And your work should be back in spaces

that-that would give it
the platform that it deserves.

Places like the CAC, where people

can be reminded of how much

- your work speaks to them.
- That was a very long time ago.

I don't know that anyone's
still listening.

I'm listening.

And I know I can't be alone in that.

And if you will sign with me,
I will prove it to you.

No. I can't work with you.

Why is that?

I don't trust you.

You're one of them now.

Thank you for dinner.

Please.

Please.

Don't touch me like this

unless you're coming home with me.

Good night.

- Hi.
- Um, hi.

What are you doing here?

Well, after I got your text...

... I figured you probably
had a long day.

So you did manage to put that together

- all on your own.
- I did.

You know, Tess, I, uh,
I can actually do things.

Hard to believe, but...

The lawn chairs are a nice touch.

Oh, you like that? Thanks.
I thought of that myself.

Are you thirsty?

Okay.

Do you like that flavor?

Thank you.

So how's your mom doing?

She's okay.

She lives in a facility that has, like,

different levels of care.

And they decided that she
needs the most care,

so they moved her.

And she didn't like the movers.

She thought they were gonna,
like, break all her stuff

- or steal it or...
- Wow.

It's just not really her, you know?

She's just like...

The dementia just makes her like this,

like, different person.

Wow, I'm sorry.

That must be really difficult to watch.

It is.

She looked bad.

Like, her hands and her voice and...

Oh...

You know, I really
don't think about drinking

very much anymore,
but I would give a lot

to not feel the way
that I'm feeling right now.

Look, I wrote the book on avoidance.

Do you trust me?

Yeah.

Yeah?

- I'm gonna blow your mind.
- Okay.

Goddamn it.

- Shit, that really got me.
- No, I'm not...

No. This worked 30 minutes ago.

It's probably just the... Like, the...

No, no, no, no. I have it. I have it.

I'm proud of my work.
I want to see it through.

Okay, but it's really, honestly,
just, like, those two, just...

What?

Like, no, the other, if you do
the thing the other way.

- The... The...
- What?

Oh, my God, I'm sorry. I'm s...

- I'm seeing someone.
- Yeah. Oh.

- Um...
- Oh, God. Yeah.

- Um...
- It... No, it... like, my sponsor

says it's too soon or whatever.

- You don't need to...
- But I, yeah, I don't know.

- I'm sorry.
- Don't need to explain.

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

Okay.

I always thought we'd live
here when we got old.

- Really?
- Yeah.

Ride bikes to the farmers market.

Ah.

Day-drink with white people.

You were gonna take
that pastry cooking class.

Oh, my God, yeah, that's... Ugh.

I was gonna learn how to make a galette.

Yeah. You were gonna be
my hot little housewife.

You know, that's...

I used to think that's what
I wanted, but I am...

kind of in love with my job right now.

What, what are you smiling at?

It's nice to hear you talk
about work like that.

- Really?
- Yeah.

I think I used to feel, like,

I don't know, shallow or something

because I was so into my job.

When men want careers, they're driven;

but when women do,
we're cold and power-hungry.

I never saw you like that.

I think your passion's sexy.

Alice assigned me a new segment.

She wants me to find
the heart of the show.

- What's the angle?
- Eh, I don't know.

I'm circling a few things, but...

You'll find it.

You've got more heart
than anyone I know.

I still think about that documentary

you wanted to make
about queer women in Buffalo

- in the '40s and '50s.
- Oh, that's right.

- Yeah.
- Oh, man,

all these badass lesbians
who held down men's jobs

while we were at war...
you know, Rosie the Riveter

was not a fucking housewife, okay?

- She was gay as shit.
- Gay as shit.

Yes, exac... Oh, my God.

They were heroes.

Yeah, and hardly anyone
even knows they existed.

Yeah. I...

Thank you, actually. That's...

- That's super helpful.
- Sure.

Who were you talking to earlier?

Keep in mind that
you're not a good liar.

It was Finley.

We were supposed to grab dinner
but I had to cancel.

Are you two together?

I...

I don't know what we are.

Oh, come on.

Oh. Please, you...

You told me not to lie.

I'm just trying to figure out
how you're not

furious with her.

She ruined our wedding.

- She made a fool of me.
- She didn't mean to.

I don't give a shit what she
meant to do, she still did it.

Look, I'm sorry.

I am so sorry that I hurt you

and that I keep hurting you,
but you told me it was over.

- And I believed you.
- Oh.

Y-You're just so full of conviction.

No. Don't put this on me.

Well, is it not over?

Between us?

Oh, yo, my guy.

How was the date?

Uh, it was strange,
but, um, it was fine.

Yeah, it sounds like
the majority of my dates.

Tinder is a very weird place.

Hey, uh, how was,
how was dinner with Sophie?

Did she like the flowers?

Uh, she had to rain-check.

Oh, that sucks. Did she say why?

Uh, she's in Ojai.

Man, I, uh, I'm really
relieved that she told you.

Yeah, of course she did.

I mean, when Dani told me
that she just showed up,

I-I wondered if she'd come clean, but...

I don't know, I guess, I guess
Dani was okay seeing her.

Yeah, no, for sure. Um...

- Shit. Um, I thought that sh...
- It's okay.

Really got to keep my mouth shut.

Uh, I'm gonna go out.

- I'll see you later.
- Finley.

Fin.

Oh, honey. Honey.

It's okay. It's okay.

_

_

_

_

_

_

I should go.

Yeah? Okay.

I'm glad you're okay.

And-and you can call me
if you need anything.

I think we dodged a bullet, you and me.

You do?

It just... got too hard.

But it doesn't feel hard now.

No.

It doesn't.

Maybe you should stay.

So, I told you I met someone.

We've actually met before.

Of course you have.

We're not back together,
if that's what you think.

I don't think anything.

My dad he needs a kidney.

What're you thinking, sweetie?

I want to see if I can help.

Nat and I were so good.

I think she's nuts for not trying
to work things out with you.

You tell me the truth, and
I'll run your company.

But if I find out you lied to me,

I'll light that place on fire
and watch it burn.
