- Why did you come in
so late last night?

- Me and Chuck
were just catching up.

- Please tell me
you read everybody's script.

- Look, I'm sorry.
Things got crazy.

I promise,
next week, I got y'all.

- It's a questionnaire
that requires you

to look at your partner
and your relationship.

- Enjoying your new life
as an actress?

- Ah, well, I still have
to teach yoga part-time.

- You wanna grab a drink
sometime?

- I feel like every time
I try to do something nice,

you have an issue.

- We're experiencing
two very different Hollywoods.

- I'm bisexual.

- All right.
I think we should get started.

Hattie, you're up.

- So y'all ready for my notes?
- Mm-hmm.

- Okay, I wrote 'em down.
- All right.

- Okay.

Jackson, I thought your script
was a really cool idea,

but that last act
needs so much work.

- I'm aware.

- And all the women
are sounding the same.

I mean, you gotta give me
some variety, bro.

And why did you have the dad
kill his boss like that?

I mean, he could have gave him
a warning or something first.

It just came out of nowhere.
And honestly, I didn't buy it.

Tisha. Tisha, Tisha, Tisha.

You got skills, okay?
- Hey!

- But I could not stand
your damn protagonist.

She reminded me of this girl

that I used to date
back in the day

that was always sucking
her teeth for no reason.

And it also seemed like she was
always mad about something

and I just didn't know what,
you know?

Damn. Can you just be nice
for a second?

And, I don't know, it feels
very angry Black woman.

And I know we tryna get away
from that trope.

Let that go.
- Uh-huh.

- Idina, my girl,

your script was so relatable.

Like, I could really
see myself in Robbie.

I mean, she was hilarious,
a bit of a hot mess,

but I liked her.

The only thing
I didn't understand

was why Isabelle
was so into her, though.

Like, Izzy had a great life.

She's got the fly store.
She's got the cool whip.

She's obviously a great cook.

Why is she following
behind this dust-ass girl?

I don't know.
I guess I'm just not here

for the unrequited
lesbian love story right now.

Maybe 'cause I've been through
that shit too many times.

And the truth is,

these characters are just
a little too happy for me.

I mean, I've been
through that shit.

Ain't nothing happy about it.

And to be real with you,

at one point, I just wished
they would just move on

and go their separate ways, but
then you wouldn't have a show,

so never mind.

- All right. Thank you, Hattie,
for being overly prepared.

- Oh, yeah. I told you
I was gon' come prepared today.

- Mm.
- Yeah, I ain't come to play.

So how did I do?

- [stammers]
Uh, you did great.

Just next time,
you don't have to go so hard.

When we say first brush,

we just want
your general thoughts,

not everything
you hated about it.

- Oh, my bad.

See, I ain't used
to being around people.

- Well, if you wanna
get staffed,

you're gonna have
to get used to it.

- You right.

- But honestly, I think
you'll be great in a room.

I'm pretty sure
you're gonna get on

most of the people's nerves...

[laughter]

But you'll keep
everybody awake.

- I'll take that.

- So you really
didn't like my script, huh?

- Nah, I liked it,

and it was really nice
to read somebody else's script

instead of just
staring at my own all day.

- Yeah, I feel the same way.
- Mm-hmm.

- And it also reminds me
I'm not the only one out here

struggling to get words
on the page.

- Yeah.

Thank you, Idina.

Being a part of this group
has been really nice.

- It's been really nice
having you.

Hey, would you wanna
go catch a movie, or--

- Oh, shit.

- Is everything okay?

- Marie's calling
an emergency meeting.

- What's the emergency?

- I don't know, but
it must be something serious

'cause she ain't called
one of these in a minute.

Look, I'ma go figure out
what's going on.

I'll catch you later?
- Okay, cool.

And you need to bring snacks
next time.

- I got you.

I'ma bring some barbeque
pork rinds next time.

- What? Don't nobody eat those.

[upbeat piano music]

♪ ♪

- Chuck is bi?!

- You know, technically,
this ain't a real emergency,

right, because
I already knew that.

But I'm just glad
that he's owning his truth.

- I need to process this.

Have you processed this?
- Yes, I have.

- Probably 'cause
you already knew, right?

- Hattie, if he didn't come
to you, you're just assuming.

- Girl, I know my people.

- Then why didn't you
tell me about it?

- Because I couldn't tell you
that I think your man is gay.

- Well, he's not.

- You right.
He's bi. Okay.

- So what are we doing
about this?

- We're not doing anything.
We're still gonna be together.

- And that's not abnormal.

I know a lot of straight dudes
that date bi girls

and a lot of bi dudes
that date straight girls.

And, you know,
that's just how it goes.

It's okay.

- So you guys are okay?

- Yeah, we're fine.

- And he's cool with you
telling us that he's bi?

- I asked for his permission
last night.

- How forward-thinking of you.

- I just wanted
you both to know.

- I'm still digesting.

- I've digested.

- Me and Ben hung out
the other night.

- Why?

- He asked me
to have drinks with him.

- Mm-mm-mm.
- He's not that bad.

- Well, he's definitely
ready to leave Lauren.

- He just wants a Black trophy
on his arm.

Do not fall for his bullshit.

[phone rings]
Oh, shit. I gotta take this.

Don't tell anyone else
about Chuck.

- We got you.
- Duh.

Bye.
- Bye.

Hello?

- I'm still in shock,
by the way.

- I don't know why.

- When are you gonna tell Marie
about you and Ida?

- I don't know. Whenever I know
what the hell we are.

- I emailed you the proposal.
Did you get it?

- I did. And I got
some questions for you.

- Okay.

- Why do we need Monument?

Why do we need
any of these white folks?

- Because historical dramas
cost money.

- I got money.
- Not enough to pay for this.

- I know people
with more money than me.

- It isn't just
about the money.

You need infrastructure,
distribution,

someone to take care
of all the paperwork.

- We can get people
to do all of that.

Look, I've been hustling
my whole life.

If I get to the pros,
I can make a damn movie.

- Those are two
very different things.

- I get it.

You're not here for it
right now, and that's okay.

I'ma keep working on you.

Then, we gon' get there.

- Okay. Well, in the meantime,
can we talk directors?

- We can talk Black directors.

- Perfect, because
that's all I have to present.

- Wonderful.
That's all I wanted to hear.

- [chuckles]

- Why are you so happy?

- 'Cause I finally found
my writer community,

and 'cause I'm finally
not scared of you.

[laughter]

- Am I really that scary?
- Yes.

- I'm just blunt.

- And you can be
a little cold too.

- Ida B.!

- Hey.
- So glad to run into you.

- Uh, what a surprise
to see you here.

- I am loving
the new season

of "Cocoa's Butter,"
by the way.

- Oh, thank you.

Oh, this is Hattie.

She is an amazing young writer.

- Look at you, always mentoring
the next generation.

- Yeah, that's Ida B.,
all right,

always reaching back while
climbing the corporate ladder.

- Hattie, pay close attention.

You've got a lot to learn
from this smart lady.

- Oh, I'm taking notes.

- She's adorable.
- Yes, she is.

- Do you ladies need
anything else?

- Just the check.
- Hattie.

- I'll pay for my shit.
You can pay for yours.

- Hattie--
- I'll come back in a bit.

- You know, man, I don't know
why I keep giving you chances.

- What was I supposed to do?
Introduce you as my girlfriend?

- You could have at least
introduced me as your friend.

I would have taken that.

[camera shutter clicking]

- Hey.
- Hey.

Don't be scared.
Take your moment.

- I don't know.

It feels weird
to walk down a red carpet

if nobody knows who I am.

- Trust me.
You're a star.

She rented out
a whole restaurant for us.

She gave me notes on my script.

She lets me drink after her.

And we had a connection,

into your writers' group.

You don't let me
get away with shit.

If you keep running back,

She wants me to meet her

I'm gonna break it off.

Like, I can't
take this no more.

to pray for me,

But my father is a preacher,
so I got you.

your father was a preacher.

- Yep.

- Mine's a comic.

- Ha! That explains a lot.

- [chuckles]
Why? 'Cause I'm so funny?

- No, 'cause
you're always broke.

[laughter]

- Damn, you ain't had to do me
like that, though.

- I'm just saying,
the life of a comic.

- That's it.
I'ma go, on that note.

I think it's time for me to go.

A'ight.
- A'ight.

- I know "Cocoa's Butter"
is a good show,

but just be careful
you don't get stuck there.

- I wouldn't mind that.

- I'm sure the people are nice,

but at some point,
you're gonna have to move on.

- Move on to what?
- Movies.

- Who's gonna put me
in a movie? You?

- I have the power to do that.

I'm serious.
You're a leading lady.

- Can I be
a complicated leading lady?

- I think people want
someone effervescent

and funny and carefree.

It's what the people want. Hmm.

our own Cinespia?

- You know this is
another version

of us being at that
restaurant alone, right?

- No. No, this is just
an apology for earlier.

Look, I know that
I still have work to do.

- Yeah, I mean...

until you can start to
acknowledge whatever this is,

I ain't kissing you,
I ain't touching you.

I ain't doing nothing with you.

- Oh, that's pretty harsh.

- Something's gotta change.

- That's fair.

- Uh-uh-uh.

No holding hands either.

- So you're gonna sit down
next to me watching "Mahogany,"

and not hold my hand?

- We watching "Mahogany"?

- Okay.

Well, I guess we can do
