Previously on
The L Word: Generation Q...

The one is still
out there for you.

Do they know you, too?
- In a way.

I'm actually throwing
Fletcher's album release party

in a couple weeks.
- Can I come?

Yeah, everyone can come.

You want to find a sperm donor?

What are we looking for?

I guess you?

No fucking results?

You got to be kidding me.

So, who's the guy?

He's my creative
writing instructor.

A secret boyfriend?

Well, he asked me to go away

with him.
- OMG.

Are you gonna do it?
- I want to, but...

You've never had sex.
- Technically, no.

I just kissed
this really hot person.

Hey, everybody.

I'm Dre.
- That's the person

I slept with when...
- No.

Yes.

I'd like another chance
to get better at this.

I want to earn your trust back.

My mom died.

I love you.

But I am not my full self
when I'm with you.

Um, what does that mean?

It's over, Finley.
It has to be.

gentle, plaintive music

You pull me by a chain

Was it always just a game?

Wouldn't respond for days

And get mad
when I pulled away

Vying for your attention...

Never look in my direction

And call me a drama queen

I think you're a coward

Hey. This is Tess.

Leave a message.
- Fucking A.

Did everyone around us

Jesus.

Hey.

Shane, uh... Hey.

Listen, I'm, um...

I'm in a bit of a situation.

Uh, everything's fine, but...

kind of not really.

Are-are you around?

Uh... Sorry.
No, we're not.

We're heading to Vegas
right now.

- Okay.
- Um... Tess's mom died.

Oh, my God. I'm...

I'm so sorry.

Um...

Fuck. Can I do anything?

No, no, no.
We're good, we're fine.

But, uh, but just tell me
what's going on?

What do you need help with?
- God, no, no.

Don't even...

Don't even think about that.
I'm good. I'm...

I'm good.

Just give her
a hug for me, okay?

Yeah, I will.
- Okay. Bye.

Fuck.

Did everyone around us

Ooh, ooh

You told me you needed time

Oh, baby, that's a lie

I think some part of me knew

You never loved me

The way I loved you
-

You never touched me

The way I touched you

How did I ever fall
for a girl like you?

I know I shouldn't trust

Girls like you

Hey.

Hey.
- Aw.

Honey, you don't look good.

No, I didn't mean it that way.

Come on in. Come on in.

But take off your shoes

'cause we're
a no-shoe household.

Okay.
- You hungry?

You want breakfast or something?
I mean...

I find food always helps,
you know?

Never really have anything
in here, but we could go out,

we could get a crumb cake or...
something nice.

Oh, I hate love

I need you, I want you

It's so fucked up

Can't live without
touching you

Please don't call

I need time to fix myself

But I can't fix myself

Oh, Micah,
make me a tropical one.

Hi, hi.

Hey.
- Hi.

God, there's got to be a bag
of peas in here or something.

Did you still want me
to arrange for a car service

to pick you all up
for tonight or...

Yes! Oh, my God,
that feels so good.

Oh.

Oh, my God.
- Sorry, what am I looking at?

I...

...got my nipples pierced
last night.

No, you didn't.

Yes, I did!

You did not get
your nipples pierced.

Yes, I did!
- Told her not to.

Oh, the peas are helping.

Oh, my goodness.

She is... she's single.
She's got her tetas pierced.

I know.
- Who is she?

Sophie, with a capital S, baby.

Sophie.
- Wow.

That's what doing drugs
in the desert will do to you.

Hi. You're still coming
tonight, right?

I haven't been able
to convince Maribel yet,

but I'm trying.

I really want to meet Fletcher.
- I'm still coming,

and I would love
that car service too,

by the way.

How would you feel if Dre came?

I-I just thought it'd be
a good way for them to meet

some contacts,
but if it's too soon...

Sorry, strawberry seeds.

I just hate when they get
stuck in my teeth.

It's fine.
It is totally fine.

Are you sure?
- I promise.

You know, I just...

it might be like a little soon.

You know, to me.

Well, good thing
you're not coming then.

Okay.

I'm not gonna ask
about Finley, but...

I don't know.

I guess I'm a little numb
about it right now.

Okay.

It could also be the frozen peas
on your chest.

Oh...

You're so funny.
Look at you, funny.

Oh, thank you.
Nice and cool and refreshing.

Okay, show me.
I want to see.

You want to see?
I'll show you.

It's gnarly as hell.
- Hold the other one.

Micah, cover your eyes!
- Cover your eyes.

Oh! Oh, my.

Is it done? Okay.
- Those look really good.

optimistic music

Alice!

Hey, girl.

Tom. Hey.
- Ow!

Oh, Jesus Christ.
- Sorry.

Are you okay?
- Yeah, you might want to put...

What? It's a door.
- ...an "out of order" sign

on that side because

I just looked like
a bird crashing into a window.

But a lot of birds fly
into a lot of win--

It's a...
The stats are pretty dark.

Anyway. Hi!
- Hi!

Oh, my gosh.

I don't know what
we're talking about.

Hi.
- Yeah. Well, you look good.

Thanks, you too.
- Thank you.

I got the pens, the big pens.

Oh.
- I loved them.

Yeah.
- Thanks.

You know, I was worried
this would be weird,

seeing you again,
since the last time

was at the Eiffel Tower

when you rejected
my marriage proposal.

But I'm...

that was a long time ago.

That was...
What was that?

But the view was like...

And what a view it was.
- Right, right?

Like...
- Yeah.

Do you want to go in my office?

Thought it was
the perfect moment.

Yeah, sure, let's do that.
- Okay.

So I've been...
I've been thinking a lot.

Uh-huh.
- About us.

Mm-hmm.
- And just kind of how it...

Let me get this door for you.
- Yeah.

Uh...
- Say no more.

Just...
- I got it.

You're so transparent.

I am?
- Yeah.

You're ready for book two and
you couldn't do it without me.

Right?

I got you.
That's why I'm here.

I brought the notes
and everything.

Right.

You got to do
what you got to do

Do what you got to do

Do what you got
to do

So we're going to go

to his reading,

and then,
we're gonna go to dinner,

and then, we're gonna go back
to his hotel.

Wow, bitch.
- Yeah.

you're a famous
author's wife.

I don't know.

It's just kind of crazy
how ready I feel.

It's like, um,
it's all coming together.

Mm-hmm.

Angelica?
- Oh.

Did you make that man
a chapbook?

Is it so stupid?
- Oh, it's so hot.

What is hot about it?
- Oh, God.

Let me see it.
- Don't look in it.

Don't look in it.
- Oh, my God.

Are you in love?

No.

I don't know. Unless...
-

I don't know. No.

I-I just feel like it could be.
- Mm.

I don't know.
-

Let's just see
how tonight goes first.

Okay. Mm.

Well, maybe
you don't have to wait

till the end of the day
to do it.

Mm-hmm. Ooh, ooh.
- Oh, that's too much.

It's too much.
- Ooh. No, no.

Is it not too much?
- It's just right. Ooh, ooh.

Okay.
- Ooh. We broke it, but, hey,

there's all--
- That's okay. That's great.

I make my move at check-in, and
then, we're just, like, yeah!

On the spot!

On the spot.
- Yeah. [laughs]

That's great. I should do that.

Please. Please.

Oh, you need
to take way more than that.

Mm. Here.

I'm only staying one night.
- There's no such thing

as being too prepared.

Okay.

You gotta do
what you gotta do

Do what you gotta do,
do what you gotta do

Listen,
I'm not accepting any clients

at this time, all right,
but if you ask me,

sounds like
he needs a psychiatrist,

and not a lawyer.
-

Listen, I got to go, Buck.
Lots going on here. Bye-bye.

Holy moly.
-

Will you look at that?
- I burnt the shit out of it.

You certainly did.
- Fuck.

It's like I can't do basic shit,
you know?

No, no. It's just that I think
the oven is too hot.

And look, it is. Honey,
it's not a character flaw.

It certainly feels
like a character flaw.

It's a lasagna.
- Finley.

It's okay. May I approach?

Please. Please.
- What are you gonna do?

Just let me approach.
What do you say we try it?

Yeah. Approach.
- Okay.

Come here.

It's all right.

You're gonna be okay.

All right? I promise you.

Now, listen, I think you need
to get out of this house.

I don't.
- Why don't you come with us

to bowling tonight
because we need a sub,

and you'd be perfect. Come on.
- I don't know

if I'm, like,
a bowling lesbian.

Well, there's no way
you could be worse than me.

Trust me.
I'm gutter all the way.

Really. I suck.

I do have my no-slip shoes
at the bungalows,

and I can just
call Sophie and--

Yeah, no, no,
we don't need to do that.

Oh, come on.
- It's just gonna make it worse.

It's gonna last longer.
Just... Okay?

Besides, you know what they have
at bowling alleys? Rentals.

Shoe rentals with the number
of your size on the back,

and you can rent some
for tonight.

And don't worry.
They have disinfectant.

I mean,
I personally wouldn't use one

because I've got
a little OCD skeeviness.

I'm calling Misty to tell her
that you're coming.

Mm-hmm.

slow, gentle music

I'm telling you right now,

if we go
to the same publishing house,

we'd probably get
a two-book deal.

And with a two-book deal, that's
great, because there's no way

any of your stories can fit in
just to one. Look,

have you been to therapy? 'Cause
we're gonna go deep this time.

I have stories. I have... I just
don't want to talk about--

We're gonna go so deep
this time, it is ridiculous.

Or how about this?
Tongue-and-cheek self-help book.

No.
- Or if that doesn't work

with you, you know what the kids
are doing nowadays,

and I kind of like it.
Do you cook?

Tom!
- I know. I'm going too far.

This is what happens.
- I--

This is the Eiffel Tower again.
I'm sorry!

No, I just...
It's just not about the book.

I... Look, we can circle back
if you really think

there's some interest there,
but I have a different question.

Oh. Okay, go ahead.

Okay.

Um...

Oh, my God. Are you crying?

No, I'm not crying.

Oh.
-

Is that a meow?
- Oh, my God.

Thank you! I've been telling
Sophie there's a cat in here!

There's definitely--
- And everyone's like, "Oh.

You're going crazy,"
and then a P.A. was like,

"Oh, it's a ghost,"
so we spent half a day,

like, looking
for an eco-friendly

spirit removal service.

How'd that work out?

It was like Ghostbusters, but
they showed up in an old Prius.

soft, whimsical music

It was a scam. A ghost scam.
-

Did you...?

Yup.

I hear... Wait.
- Yup.

Uh-huh.
- Is it this way?

Jesus Christ.

I can't look at any more donors.

So don't. Come on. Let's go out.

I'm not in the mood.
-

I'm just really annoyed.

Look, we can get drunk,

have sloppy sex.
-

You'll fall asleep by 9:00.

Don't make that face.

Goodbye, humans.

Oh, mirala.
Where's she going?

I am gonna get my hair done.

Oh. For what?
- Okay.

For nothing. 'Cause it's time
to get it done.

It's not 'cause Dre's going
to Fletcher's...

Mm.
- ...album release party tonight?

Right?
- No.

Oh, 'cause I thought
you were trying to be single

for a while.

I am, okay,
and this is not for them.

This is just... for me.

Okay?
- Mm. Mm-hmm.

I am on my own path.

I am taking swings.

Big swings! Ow.
- Maybe too big.

My titties.
- She's a train wreck.

Yeah.

Goodbye, bitches.
- See ya.

Yeah, we're gonna have to go
to this party tonight.

Mm-hmm. Yeah.
- Yeah?

All right.

But I'm gonna need to
take a nap.

Yeah, same.

Go on with your bad self

Show 'em
what you've got now, go on

Let it all out, kind of,
kind of, kind of like...

Can you make sure those go
on the back patio, sweetie?

Thank you.
- It should be under "Dre."

Hi. Hey.
- Hey.

So happy you came.
- I'm so happy to be here.

Uh, there are a few people I
thought you could meet tonight.

Oh. Right.
This is a work thing. Um--

Yeah. There's, uh,
Fletcher, of course,

her label rep, and
Sophie's coming tonight, too.

Oh.
- Yeah.

She produces
for The Alice Show,

so, I thought it would be
a good contact for you.

Oh, we've made contact.

I'm sorry.

Are you at all serious
about your career?

Yeah, I am.
- Because if you're not--

No, I am.
- I don't want to make the effort

to introduce you to people,
and then have you--

Look, I got you, for real.

Just let me know
when her people show up,

and I'll put on my best act
for you.

I'll even throw in
a handwritten thank-you note.

Thank you.

All good. Thank you.

Come here.

Got a little stuff
on your shirt.

Hmm.

Is this part of the professional
service you provide?

Yeah.

Of course.
You need to look good.

Mm.

Better?

Mm. I mean, there's only
so much I can do.

I have to go
check on the pool bar.

Oh. When do we skinny dip?
- We don't.

We're professionals.
- Uh-huh.

Uh-uh. Ooh, please. Ooh.

You gotta work up on it,
work up on it, work up on it

You gotta get some money,
get some money, get some money

You gotta squeeze, baby,
squeeze, baby, squeeze...

It's not just

how you cradle the ball.
It's your hips, too, okay?

So square them up.
- Okay. Yup.

To your left a little.
There you go.

Square the hips.
- And then,

shoulders back.
Do you feel that?

Yes. Yeah.
- You do? Okay.

Thank you very much.
- Uh-huh.

You got this. Let's go, Carrie.
- Okay, here we go.

Looking good! Looking...

Ooh. So close, though.
That was so close.

It, like, goes down
and then it just--

You're getting better.
You're getting better.

That was bad.
That was a bad one. Next time.

Hey, are my shoulders crooked?

I'd say they look
about as straight as you do.

Ha, ha! Good one. Good one.
- Ha, ha.

Softball, baby.
I can hit those all day.

Okay, can you read this for me?

"Hi, Soph. Hope you're well."
No, it's not good.

I'm deleting it.
- What do you mean?

You didn't even get to the part
where I apologized.

It's too soon, Finley.

Oh, my God.
- Bowl.

Come on, make me proud.

Oh, there you go.

Hey!
- Oh. One left.

Did you see that?
- One left.

I think the text is good.

You liked it?
Well, I deleted it, so--

Are you serious?
- Yes, Finley. Come on.

You got to stop.
- Fine. I'm sorry we can't

all just fall in love with the
plumber and get fucking married.

Hey, hey, hey.
- What?!

She is my friend.
She is my bowling mate.

Okay, that's it.

Are you serious?
- Go, bowl.

You have another ball.

I'm bowling,
I'm bowling. Keep your shirt on.

There you go.
That's how you do it.

Okay. Better!

Yeah! Look at that!
- Hey!

You did it!
- Better!

Come on!
Here, take your sorry, sorry

tweet, text or whatever,
before I delete it all.

I'm sorry.

You haven't asked the plumber
out yet?

Okay, she has a name.
It's Misty. And no.

What is that about?
- I don't need to.

I don't want to go through what
you're going through right now.

I like how it is.
It's good, it's enough.

Here we go.
- Mm.

Go, Misty. You can do it.

Just look
at that posture. Perfect.

Oh, yeah!
- There we go!

Right down the middle.
- Yes!

Oh, you did it?!
- Yeah! You did it!

Victory dance.

Yes!

Come on.
- Hey.

Come on.

That was fantastic.
- I'm gonna grab a drink.

Way to go, Misty.

Like every single other one,
she gets a strike.

Yeah. Yeah.
-

Oh.

I haven't
done a reading in years.

Like,
how do you know what's good?

Like, is this shirt insane?
Because I-I feel insane.

It looks great.

Do you want me
to iron that for you?

No, no, no, I can do it.
It's fine.

Hey, I want you to know
I'm really happy

you're here
because if you weren't,

I would just be pacing
back and forth, practicing

into my toothbrush, so--
- Okay.

If... you get nervous,
you can look at me.

Sometimes it's less scary
to read to one person

than it is to,
like, a hundred.

Well, a hundred would
be a historic turnout, so...

Really?
- Yeah.

It's like they got confused
and thought

it was a Marvel premiere.

You know, we have a couple of
hours before we have to leave.

I think I want
to get there early.

I think
we'll have plenty of time.

Hey, I'm sorry. My head is just
like a-a pinball machine

right now,
and I cannot figure out

where to plug in this iron.
- Okay. Okay.

Take a breath.

I'm sorry. I'm freaking out.

Okay.

Just close your eyes.

slow, gentle music

My eyes are closed.

Wait. What's happening?

Since it's scary that
you're gonna share something

that you wrote
to the whole world--

Terrifying.
- So I thought

that I could share...

something of mine

with you.

Did you make this?

Yeah. It's just some little
drawings and stuff I wrote.

I don't know.

Actually, I don't know
if it's ready yet, so--

Okay.
- No, no, no. No take-backs.

Like you said, I'm gonna be
baring my soul later, so,

this is only fair.

Angie,

this is really beautiful.

Thank you.

But you still let me go

Holding me

As you're about to leave

So maybe
at some other time

When we don't break
at each goodbye...

Come here.
- Are you sure?

I'm sure.

Falling

Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah

Ah-ah, ah...

Got your hands up,
going so hard

Up in handcuffs,
like a rock star

In the back seat,
where my friends are...

SKYY and soda,
lime juice, no lime rind.

Yeah. Thank you.
- Thank you.

Sorry.

The, uh... the lime rinds,
you know, it's, um--

It's the dirtiest part.
- Yeah.

No, I'm always telling
my girlfriend that.

My wife never listens to me.

Neither does my girlfriend.
-

Uh, yeah. I'm-I'm Micah.
- Michael.

No. Micah.
- Michael.

Micah. You're--
- I'm-I'm--

You're saying your name
is Michael, and I am Micah.

Yeah. Yes. Yes.
- Yes. Okay. Got it.

Ah.

Weird.

Well.
- All you.

Ooh, la, la, ooh, la, la,
tell me where the girls at

Where my, where my girls at

Tell me where my girls at

Where my, where my girls at

Don't have a choice

Yeah, we always
bring the noise...

I love your dress.
- Oh.

Thank you.

Sophie?
- Hi.

Hey.
- Hi. [laughs]

You look amazing.

Thank you.

Let me grab you a drink.
Hold on.

Thank you.

You didn't tell me you work
at The Alice Show.

Um... well,
if I remember correctly,

we didn't do much talking, so...

Nah.

Uh, I swear you said
you were making a documentary

or applying for a grant maybe?

Oh. Yeah.

Yeah, yeah, yeah,
I was doing that. Yeah.

Yeah.
- Um, but, yes,

I am also a producer
on The Alice Show.

Yeah.
- Hmm. Okay.

Cush day job.
- You know.

It buys me stuff.

So, uh, how you been?

Besides killing it
in Hollywood, obviously.

Mm. Good, I, uh...

did ayahuasca in the desert
with my boss the other day.

Oh, my God.

There she is, guys!

Great. So you'll do ten minutes
with Teen Vogue,

Billboard only needs five,
then I'm gonna come grab you

ten minutes before you need
to perform, and that's it.

It'll be a seamless, easy night.

Also there's someone
I'd love for you to meet.

Sweet. Um, can I get, like,

a big-ass margarita or something
as soon as I get off stage?

Yes. You can get
the biggest margarita.

Micah, this is a weird request.
- Hear me out. Please?

Look, I'm not asking a stranger

at an album release party
for his sperm!

No, I'm just... I'm just saying,
we get to know him, you know?

And who knows?
Maybe we'll really like him.

Okay, and...
Oh, look, there's Fletcher.

Baby, focus.
- Right. Um,

okay, look, I really... I don't
even know if he's cis, okay?

And I... I wouldn't
have said anything, right,

except he's kind of perfect.

Well, what kind of perfect
are we talking about?

Brain surgeon perfect?
Top Chef kind of perfect?

No. He's... he's more like me.
- Aw. Okay.

Yeah, yeah, he's-he's
really nice, all right,

and he's a little nervous,
but--

Okay, I get it.
He's your twin flame.

No, that...
that-that's something else.

Oh.
- Look, I just... I feel like,

if we could have a baby
with this guy,

then it'd be kind of like
we're having a baby together.

I don't know, I just...

Will you... will you
meet him? Please?

Just meet him. Please.
-

slow, dramatic music

Okay. I will meet him,

but I'm definitely gonna need
one of these,

for sure.
- Okay, anything.

Yeah, be right back.
- Okay. Mwah.

Uh-uh.

That sounds incredible.
-

I swear, it was like a full-on,

singing, dancing,
fucking musical. Yes.

Oh, my God.

You know, I have a soft spot
for Newsies.

Oh, my God, stop.

Like, I wore a pageboy cap
every day for, like, two years.

That is so embarrassing
for you.

Ah. Uh-uh. Nah, I made--

Aw.
- I made that shit cool.

Okay. Right.
- Mm-hmm. Yup.

I'm sure you did.

So, did you learn the truth
of the universe or what?

Hmm.

No. No, nothing...

nothing like that.

Um...

but I did break up with my
girlfriend afterwards, though.

Oh, man. I'm sorry.
- Yeah.

No, it's okay. It just...

It needed to happen.

I should have texted you back.

Mm. It's all good.

I'm sorry.

I thought we were--

No, no, no, no, no.
I'm... I am sorry.

No. It's-it's okay.
- I'm so sorry.

It's stupid.
- Really. It's-it's cool.

No, I just got
caught up in...

Yeah, I--

It's just I, um...

I'm sort of into someone else.

Oh. It's--

I-I just, um...

Um, will you just excuse me
for a second, okay?

Excuse me.

Oh. [laughs] Sorry.

Hi. Can I get
another one please?

Sure thing.

I see a light ahead

It's glowing like the moon

The sky is turning red...
- Here you go.

Can you make it a...?
Just give me that. More.

Uh, all right.
- More.

All right.
- Is that good?

Enjoy.

To find a new beginning

I didn't mean
to ruin her wedding.

Uh-huh.
- But I did.

Yes, you did. Yes.
- And to be honest with you,

I'm not sure we ever
got past that. It's like--

Well, that makes sense.
- I mean, maybe

when something starts fucked up,
it's got to end fucked up, too.

Uh-huh. Right.
- Right?

Hey-oh, Joe. Uh, anyway...
- Yeah!

Then I started
drinking too much--

Okay, I'm gonna... I'm gonna
butt in right there,

if you don't mind, yeah?
- Yes, of course, I'd love that.

Sure.
- I actually know a lot about

your entire life because Carrie
talks about you all the time.

Right, Carrie.

Yeah, Carrie really is
just the, uh,

best, isn't she?

Yeah, not at bowling.
- Ha!

No. Not at bowling, but
she's great at a lot of stuff.

Yup.
- She, uh... she can dance.

Yeah?
- Yeah. I mean--

I never would have guessed that, actually.

Oh, yeah. There's no way

that woman's all Irish.
-

She... she can pop, lock, drop,

the whole deal.
- Oh, my God.

All right, Care Bear,
you got this.

Let's go,
just square 'em up.

All right, here's the real,
Misty, okay?

Um, Carrie's a big softie.
- Yeah, I know. She's great.

She's into you.

Oh.
- I mean, you two together,

obviously...
Would you...

be good if she asked you out?
- Um...

I mean,
Carrie's obviously great.

Yeah.
- Obviously, but,

um, like,
she's not my type, so...

I'm-I'm gonna get a refill.

slow, melancholy music

You got a big fucking mouth.

Wait. No. I'm sorry.

Carrie...

Where are you going? Carrie!

I'm telling you it's ov...
It's-it's right here.

Oh.
- I can hear it right here.

Okay, I need a chair
or something that I can...

Oh.
- ...get, get up there.

Tom, there's a chair right here.

All right, here we go.
- Yeah.

Excellent. All right.

Careful.
-

All right.
Let's see if I got something.

Do you see it?
- Yeah, maybe.

Wait.
- Yeah?

What if it's a rat?
-

If it's a meowing rat,
I want to see it.

Okay.
-

Oh, my God.

What?
- It's so cute.

Oh, you see it? Okay.
- Oh, yeah. Hold this.

Psst, psst, psst,
psst, psst, psst.

Here, little buddy.

Here we go.
- Is it a really...?

Nope. No, no, no. [groans]

Damn it. It got away. Slipped
right through my fingers.

Did we miss it?
- Huh? Yeah.

We missed him. He's gone.
He's somewhere,

like, over there probably.
- Us. Us.

You and me.

Did we miss something real?

Is this real?

'Cause I'm looking
for a cat... in a vent.

Should we try again?
Is that crazy?

Um...

Uh...

I'm seeing someone.

Okay.

Yeah.
- Okay.

Is it serious?

Kind of.
I mean, she is pregnant.

slow, gentle music

Okay.
- Yeah.

Oh.

Crazy.
- Yeah.

Oh.
-

It's the... it's the kitty.

That's...

"It's like her body
processes the sun differently.

Like its rays could recognize
the fire inside her.

An age-old kinship
written in the stars.

slow, gentle music

She is comfortable in heat.

Comfortable everywhere really.

It's like she had a history
with the planets,

deeper and longer than my own.

She belonged to the world,

and I belonged beside her."

Thank you.

That was...
It was incredible.

It was way better
than Marvel movies.

Mm-hmm.
- Yeah.

Thanks.

You really, really helped.

Thanks.

I'm so thankful you're here.

Hi, Hendrix.
Steven Chavez, CAA.

Hi, yes. CAA. Sure.

Oh, sorry to interrupt.

No, no, no.
It's-it's no problem.

Thank you for coming out.
- Oh, of course. Hi. I'm Steven.

Angie.
- Steven, sorry. This is Angie.

She-She's a student of mine.

Oh, it's so nice to see young
people interested in literature.

Mm-hmm. It was nice to meet you.

You know, Hendrix, I-I was
really impressed by your work.

Do you have a minute to talk?
- Absolutely. I am all yours.

I'm not sorry I want it all

Sorry, sorry, sorry, no

I'm not sorry I want it all

Sorry, sorry, sorry, no

I was born to be old
if that makes sense.

Yeah, he's exactly the same.

Yeah, no, no. Like a... like,
a soccer dad from the jump.

Oh, my God, totally.
-

Yeah, I look forward
to having kids of my own.

So-so would you say
family matters then?

Yeah, you're a family guy?
- Oh, definitely.

Interesting, interesting.
Uh, well, I was--

Um, look, I know we just met,
but we're kind of

in the market for a sperm donor.

Wow.
- Okay.

I was wondering
if you would ever consider

doing something like that?
- And just so you know,

"no" is a...
is a totally reasonable answer.

Yeah.
-

Wait. So you came to talk to me

because you're trying
to have a baby?

Um... yeah.

Look, I know it sounds weird,

and I know that we just met,
but, like-- we're sorry.

Uh, we-we didn't want
to scare you.

Yeah.
- And it's just you seem so

perfect, I guess,
and it does feel like fate.

It would be an honor.

Oh, my God.
- Oh, my God.

Oh, my God. I just--
- Oh, my God.

Baby, you're gonna have
to tell me

if those are good tears
or bad tears.

There's no...

such thing as bad tears.
- Okay.

I need to go talk
to my wife first,

but I think
she's gonna really love this.

Yeah? Okay.
- Yeah.

Will you excuse me?
- Yeah.

Yeah. Of course.
- Yeah, take your time.

Oh, my God.
Did that just happen?

That's-that's it. Right?
I mean, that-- he's it.

Yeah, right?

Oh, my God.

Print. Print. Print!

Feminine energy

I got the Benjamins

I got the remedy

Can't go for the crown,
'bout to shut it down...

Oh, my, these are cute.

Oh.
- Oh, my God.

I'm so sorry. Are you okay?
-

It's totally fine.
My drink was empty.

Oh, thank God.

Oh. That would be the
last thing I needed tonight.

Oh, my God. Wait.

Is it you from...?
- Mm-hmm. [laughs]

From earlier.
- Yeah.

Yeah, it's me.
- Hi.

I'm sorry if I was weird.
I just...

I did really love your dress,

and I thought
I should say something.

Oh. Oh, no, no, no.
I mean, no, it wasn't weird.

Um, I liked it.
I liked it. It was nice.

Well,

I wasn't just being nice.

You really do look incredible,

and I just wanted you to know.

Hmm.

I got the Benjamins...

Can I refill that glass for you?

Absolutely.

I got the Benjamins,
I got the remedy

Carrie! Wait, I'm sorry, okay?

Please?
- No, it's not okay, okay?

It's not okay,
and I don't want to hear it.

I was trying to do something
good, and I just already

fucked up the lasagna, and
I just... I got carried away.

I'm sorry.
- You don't listen, Finley.

I know I'm a particular kind
of person.

I'm a little quirky. I get it.

I like what I like,
and you know what?

I really liked coming here.

And it was enough
for me to be close

to Misty for a couple hours,

playing bowling,
which I suck at.

But now, forget it,
it's over, it's done.

It's not. I...
- It is, Finley.

It's not.
You can come back here.

Can I...?
I'm gonna go fix it.

No. You can't fix it. Stop.

Just stop, right now.

Okay, I get it.

I'm sorry.

Okay.

Go get your shoes.

What?
- We're going home.

We have to walk through
that parking lot.

You got no shoes on.
There's, like, needles,

there's a brok--
there's a pile of...

looked like human poop
last time I went.

When I came in, I thought
I was gonna step in it.

Just get your shoes.
And hurry up.

I'll meet you in the car.

Watch where you're walking.

slow, gentle music

Can I talk to you
about something?

Yeah,
just give me one second.

Okay.
- Holy shit.

That guy from earlier,

the agent,
he already emailed me.

Cool, yeah.

Oh, my God, he wants
to read the whole manuscript.

Holy fucking shit.

Great, I'm really
happy for you, teach.

Um...

Yeah, I'm-I'm sorry.

I d... I don't know why
I said that,

I guess I just...
I guess I just panicked.

Okay, are you
embarrassed by me?

No.
- Like, what the fuck was that?

Okay, can we...
can we slow down?

Will you come sit by me
so we can talk?

Please.

I am not embarrassed by you.

I just got caught up
in a big moment.

Like, that-that sort of thing
doesn't ever happen for me.

And I lost my head.

And that wasn't cool.

And I am sorry.

Okay.

Thanks for saying that.

But, Angie...

...you are my student.

We've been over that. We--
- Mm-hmm.

I know and I keep trying to
convince myself that it's okay.

But I... I think
I'm lying to myself.

I'm done.
- Come--

Angie, I don't want you
to misunderstand.

I'm not misunderstanding you.

I understand what you're saying.

I understand fine. No.
- Angie.

Angie, I am falling in love
with you.

What?
- That is what I'm trying to say.

And... I think we have
something real.

I mean it. You inspire me.

I like who I am
when I'm around you.

But it is--
it is shortsighted for me

to be with you now,
and I don't want to play

the short game with you, Angie.
- Oh, my God.

I want to see where this goes.

And I don't think we can do that
while you're my student.

Angie, please.

Can we talk about this?

Okay, can I, can I at least
give you a ride home?

I can do it my fucking self.

I'm gonna go.

All right.
- Ooh, that's a shot.

Here we go, it's a big one.
- Yeah.

Kind of scared.
-

Are we doing this?
- We got this. Yeah.

Do you need a lime?
- No, I'm good.

I'm good. I'm good.

We're just going
straight for it.

No. No.
- Okay. Eye contact.

Yes.
- Ready?

Cheers, honestly,

it is so fun
getting to be a part

of the beginning of your ride.
It's really cool.

Cheers.

To us.

Mm. Ooh.

Let's just, let's just hope
there is a ride.

There is.
There already has been.

I mean, honestly, it's...
you manifested this.

And it's fated.

Oh, my God, um...
are you into crystals?

Obviously.

Cool. Um...
- What do you got?

I want you to have this.

Aw, that's so sweet. Thank you.
- So sorry to interrupt.

They're ready for you onstage.

If I must.
It was so nice to meet you.

Yeah, same.

Uh, do your thing.

Crush it.

Seems like that went well.

She gave me
her tour manager's number.

What?
- Yeah.

Look at you.

So...

how did it go with Sophie?

Ah, it was a little less
than successful.

Did something happen?

She sort of kissed me.
- What?

I mean, she probably thought
I was flirting with her.

Were you?

Are you asking me
professionally or...?

She's the reason
we're here tonight!

Give a warm welcome to my girl,

Fletcher!
- You're infuriating.

Mm.
-

I'll-I'll be back.
- Okay.

Thank you
so much for coming out tonight.

This one goes out
to all our exes.

You know who I'm talking about.

I wake up putting makeup
on a sad face

And Listerine ain't fixing
this bad taste in my mouth

Someone saw you out
on Friday

Saw you walking sideways

Guess you're getting fucked
real good now

Fine, okay, I'll say

I went and stalked her

And I don't really blame you

'Cause, damn,
the waist, the hips

The face, this is awkward

Are you in love
like we were?

If I were you
I'd probably keep her

Makes me want to hit her...

Do you
think he's gonna ask his wife

now or wait till
he gets home tonight?

I don't know if she's even here.

Where's Sophie?
- Not sure.

Why, what'd she do?

She kissed Dre.

Of course she did. Yep.

I mean, is that bad?
She is single.

She's also wasted.
Dangerous combo.

I used to wear it too, yeah,
it's a cropped one

With the red Corvette,
someone new riding shotgun

I can't even be that mad
about it, she flame emoji, wow

It's always gonna
fuck me up 'cause

Fine, okay, I'll say

I went and stalked her

And I don't really blame you
'cause, damn, the waist

The hips, the face,
this is awkward

Let's go!

Are you in love
like we were?

If I were you,
I'd probably keep her

Makes me want to hit her
when I see her

Wow, she moved on pretty fast.

I'm happy for her.
That lady's cute.

In your vintage T-shirt...

Hey. She is on one tonight.

Well, cheers to Sophie.

Oh, wow. She's...

Hey! Dharma!

Is that Michael?

What the fuck are you doing?

What are you doing?
- Oh.

Bro, what's your fucking
problem?

That's my wife!

Did he say wife?

I have a feeling
this isn't gonna work out.

Oh, my God!

Sophie!

Wait, you guys.
-

Oh, shit!
- Excuse me. Sophie!

Come here.
- Watch out!

Come here, come here.
-

Come on.

Yeah, I can't watch this.

Let's go. Okay. Yeah.
-

Oh, God.
- Nothing to see.

Why are we looking?
Thank you.

Oh, fuck.

I think I need to go home.
- Come on.

Come on. No shit.
-

Okay, let's go.
-

Oh, God.

So I don't know,

I think that's what the universe
was trying to tell me.

What? That I'm the one?

No, that it was someone
that I pushed away too quickly.

Or someone I just,
you know, blew it with.

So, obviously, I thought of you.

Mm. Well, I am flattered.

And then Dana said,

"Well, it's someone
who knows me in a way."

So I thought because
we wrote the book together...

Hmm.

But then you went
and blew it with

the whole dad thing, so...
- Well, you know,

I had the body for it,

so I figured might as well
follow through.

Let me ask you something though.
Who did you date...

after Dana?

Well, I kissed Lara.

No, not Lara.

Tasha?

Yes, Tasha.

Tom, we don't like Tasha,
remember?

Yeah! Why?
- Well, I mean...

'cause she broke up with me

when I was...
- That's what it-- Yeah.

You know, just starting
to become successful.

Yep, she couldn't
handle the fact

that you were becoming
a famous podcaster.

I remember that.
- Right,

it was very intimidating.

It is intimidating.
- Apparently.

Yeah, ghosted me

completely after
being together for years.

She's a jerk.

Thank you. That's the reaction
I would like.

Here, take this.

And these. Thank you.

You know the drill.

Here we go again.
- Vent three.

No, no, no, no.

Don't run. Don't run.
I got you.

I got you. Look at this.
-

Oh, my God. Hi.

Look at how cute
this little thing is.

I can't believe
it was able to...

What? You were in there?

...run around in that thing.

Hi.
- Look at that.

I don't know how
you got up all in there,

but we got you.
- Hi.

Should we get it milk?
Or is that just in the movies?

Well, maybe we should
take it to a shelter

or something like that.

I'm sure that thing
will get adopted right away.

Hi. You want to start
your new life?

Do you?

He likes you.
- Really?

Yeah, it's hard not to.

Hi, little one.

It's so cute.
- It is cute.

You were living up there?

I can't believe it.
I can't believe it.

Two minutes.
- What?

Just go inside.

You can't be trusted.

They started
talking to me first, okay?

That's...
-

that's because they wanted to be
on your show, asshole.

I realized that after
I kissed them, okay?

Better late than never.

They were hitting on me
all night

and I pushed them away
because of you.

There's so much
fucking drama already, it's...

I know, I know.

Something happens to me
when I'm around them.

I know.

I know because...

I like them, too.

soft, gentle music

That's it.

Come on.

Um, hi...

I'm sorry.
- Okay.

I'm gonna call you tomorrow

after my hangover clears
to apologize again, okay.

Okay. You're wet. Go.

Watch your step.
-

Okay.

Hi.

Hey.

You go get 'em, Nùñez.

What?
- Yes.

No.
- Yes.

Yes, look...
- Stop. Get in the car.

You like them.

Just, I think I need
to be alone for a minute.

Okay.
- All right.

Whoa!

Okay, I'm mostly dry.

Can you please make sure
she gets home okay?

Yeah, sure thing.
- Ow.

I would keep the windows
rolled down if I were you.

I got her.
- God, my titties still hurt.

Oh, shit.

Wait...

I love you.

Love you, too.

Like we're still 18

Teenage chemistry

Late nights in the summer...

Thank you so much.

Hi.

You owe me that margarita.

I am so, so sorry.

That was incredibly
unprofessional of me.

My ex kissed two people
that she shouldn't have

and then fell into the pool.

Honestly,

it's the kind of
sapphic chaos I live for.

Oh.

Well, thank you
so much for understanding.

I mean, messy

is way better in my opinion.

Yeah.
- Thank you so much for tonight.

Of course.
- It was awesome.

Have a nice night.
- You, too.

I can't breathe

- Teenage chemistry
- All I need

Hands all over me, yeah

- I can't breathe
- Teenage chemistry

Sexy fucking Italian casserole.

Carrie?
- Yep?

We're ready.

Coming.

I got to quit Wordle,
ruins my self-esteem.

Check her out.

Huh?
- Will you look at that.

The oven was too hot.

She's a beauty.

She is, right?
- Yes.

I made her for you.
For us.

But, you know, for you.

You've been really good to me,
so thank you.

Thank you.

What do you say
you get some knives

and we'll cut this baby up?
- Yeah.

Right there, next to the fridge.

Gosh, it smells delicious, Finley.

Are you expecting someone?
- No.

Hmm. I'll get it.

Why don't you, uh, set us up
at the dining room table

so we can have
a grown-up dinner,

like respectable adults.

You got it, Care Bear.

Hi.

Hey.

Yeah, you forgot
your bowling bag.

Actually, I didn't, I, uh...

I quit.

Yeah. Um...

Actually, I-I needed
an excuse to come over.

For-for what?

I like you.

optimistic music

Wait, could you, uh,

just say that again?
-

Yes, I can.

I really do like you, Carrie.

And I'm sorry.

I guess I'm just not, like,

used to being chased
or something.

I don't know.
-

Chased?

It's funny 'cause
you know I don't run.

Yeah, but you
know what I mean.

I do, actually.

Okay.
- Uh...

listen, the kid made a lasagna.

Oh, yeah?
- Looks pretty amazing.

You hungry?

I'm starving.
- Well, come on in.

Is this like a no-shoe house?
- You got it.

No-shoe house, okay.
- Take 'em off.

Hey!

Hey.
- You're back early.

Yeah.

Well, how'd it go?
Did you do it?

Yeah, we did.

Um...

He broke up with me. So...

Come here. Come here.

Oh, babe. Honey.

We can just hold on

We aren't afraid

Baby, just hold on...
- Yeah.

This sucks.

Fuck him.

He doesn't deserve you.

Okay?

I got you.

Oh

So just hold on

Carry the world
on your shoulders

Are you being a bad, bad,
bad, bad boy?

But I'm here now...

Hi.
-

We're gonna
have to agree on a name.

One foot in front
of the other...

Piddles Junior? No.

Piddles Two?

Are you the one?
I think you are.

I think you are.

Wow, you make
a beautiful table, kid.

Awesome. Oh, thank you.
- Yes.

Of course, enjoy.
- Yes, feel free to stay.

Oh, no. Please.
It's my pleasure.

I will take a piece
of garlic bread.

Sorry about that.
- All right.

She's a cute kid.
- She's sweet.

Yeah, talks too much but...

Yeah, I told her to
shut up at the bowling alley.

Did you?
- Little bit.

Good.
- Come here.

Me?
- Yeah, come here.

We can keep

Treading water deep

Never falter...

That's gonna work.
- Yeah, for me, too.

Worth the wait,
I'll tell you that.

Cheers.
- Cheers.

To new beginnings.
- Yeah.

We are all we need

We are all we need

If we can just hold on

Kiss me.

We aren't afraid...

Oh, my God, I can hear you!

Oh...

If we can just hold on

We aren't afraid

If we can just hold on

Hold on

If we can just hold on

We aren't afraid

Baby, just hold on

We're nothing without
one of us

My hand in your hand,
we've got each other

Oh, so just hold on

slow, intriguing music

Oh, shit.

All right.
She's thinking about it. Wow.

Okay.

gentle music

Hi.

I like your outfit.
- I like yours, too.

I can't do anything that's

too real right now.

Okay.

I just got out of
something serious and, um...

I get it.

I have my own situation
back home.

Oh.

What is your situation?

Just a long-term,

queer-ass thing with
my high school girlfriend.

Okay, so you're not single.

No, I am.

I'm totally single,

but shit with Brie is just...

long and complicated.

Hmm.

But this doesn't have to be.

"Deep Dive" by Zaryah

Messy is good sometimes.

I can do messy.

Masked eyes
as you pick me apart

Deep dive into my lips

Heat of your breath
takes me into your abyss

Hold tight

I'll fulfill every need

Head up, you got me
down on my knees

I know what you want

Is mine

And just for tonight

Ah, ah, ah

Own me, ah

Keep going faster

Just to keep me satisfied

I wanna feel you

Own me, ah

You know I like it

When you fill me up inside

Grab me harder
