- I think Charles
is gonna propose to Quinn.

- I love him, Maggie.

It's not right
to stand in his way.

- I don't think
he's offering you enough.

- Really?

- Everyone likes
a push-up contest.

Two...
Agh!

- Dad?

- I think he's having
a heart attack.

- I had the greatest doctor.

He saved my life.

[knock at door]

- Lauren, Denise, hey.

Good to see you guys again.

- I couldn't get on that plane.

- What? Why?

- Because I was
with the wrong person.

[Trella's
"Caution to the Wind"]

[soft, romantic pop music]

* *

- * Maintain safety *

- I know that our path
has been rocky

and that it's taken me a while
to get here, but--

- You don't have to explain
anything.

- I just know
what makes me happy.

And to pretend anything else

would be just lying to myself.

- I think I've told enough lies
for the both of us.

- Only the truth from now on.

Even if it hurts.

- Only the truth.

[sighs]

I should do the walk of shame
back to my apartment

before the girls wake up.

I'm sure things are
already confusing enough.

- [groans]

- I know.

Okay. Bye.

- Bye.

* *

- * I'm throwing caution
to the wind *

* I don't care
about the risk *

- Liza?

- Hey.

I...I was just dropping
something off for your dad.

- I'm so glad you're here.

- Oh.

Me too, sweetheart.

Me too.

[confident pop music]

* There's a swagger
in the way I move *

* The way, in the way I move *

- Someone didn't come home
last night.

- I know.

It's a long story.

- I was about to call
the police at 2:00 a.m.

I mean, what happened?

Charles and Quinn take off
to paradise,

and you spend the night
in some dive bar somewhere?

- Um...not exactly.

Charles didn't get
on the plane.

Maggie, he told me
that he loved me.

And--
[phone buzzes]

- It's Cass.

Oh, hold that thought.
- Okay.

- Good morning, Cass.

- Listen, Maggie, now that
your career is blowing up,

thanks in no small part
to yours truly,

I'd like my sculpture back.

- Well, that's fair.
It's here.

You can come
pick it up anytime.

- I don't have time
to schlep to Brooklyn.

Can you send it to me?

And please sign it, 'cause now,

it may actually be
worth something.

- Yeah, no, I'm not sending
the sculpture.

- Fine.
Just bring it to dinner then.

- Wait, did I miss
an invitation?

- For what?

- Dinner?

- Oh.

Yeah, sure.
I'll have dinner with you.

We'll figure
everything out then.

My treat.
I'll send you the deets.

- [sighs]

- Is everything okay?
- Yeah. Cass.

She wants to take me to dinner.
Like I owe her something.

- She wants to take you
to dinner?

- Yeah, we have
a complicated history, Liza.

I mean, I don't think
I need to explain

that kind of thing to you.

- All right, touché.

- Anyway, I'm just glad
that you're home safe.

And as far as the rest
of the story goes,

may I just say, I don't
understand straight people.

Y'all are crazier
than the gays.

- [laughs]

[energetic pop music]

- * Ooh *

* Ooh *

* Hey, hey, hey *

* Hey, hey *

- Hey.
- Hey.

- So I got
some interesting feedback

from some VCs this morning
about Inkubator.

- VCs? When did that happen?

- Hi. Okay.

Dad is out of the hospital
and doing great.

Just a little
myocardial infarction,

but he'll be fine.

Thank you so much
for your thoughts and prayers.

- Thank God.
- Oh, my God.

I'm so glad he's okay.
- I know, I know, I know.

But the big headline here
is that

the doctor who saved his life
was Max.

- Max Max?

Like, the guy you dumped
for being basic?

- Mm-hmm, and who I'm now
having erotic dreams about.

Isn't this, like,
too much of a coincidence

to be a coincidence?

I feel like the universe
is shaking me

and being like, "Wake up, girl!

"Just pay attention!

"The man saved
your father's life

"and he made you spooge
in your sleep.

Like, what more of a sign
do you need?"

You know what I mean?

- Sometimes life gives you
a second chance.

- God, Liza, you are so wise.
How did I not see that before?

- So...

our investors from Chicago

are a mercurial bunch.

A few months ago,
they decided not to commemorate

the hundredth anniversary
of Empirical.

- We're putting
commemorative stickers

on all of our fall releases.

- Uh-huh.

And now they want to have
a party.

Next week.
- What?

- Next week?
- That's impossible.

- Yeah, it's just an excuse
to have

an all-expense paid trip
to New York

on the company's dime,

so even a small dinner is fine.

Let's not knock ourselves out.

- Wow. Okay.

- And...

I'm not so hung up
on birthdays anyway.

- Isn't he supposed to be
in Mustique with Quinn?

- He missed the plane.

- To be at the party.

Do you see?
That's what I'm saying.

That's how the universe works.
There are no accidents.

And this will not be
a small party.

Let's see...

[tense music]

* *

[knock at door]
- Hi.

We have your dream writer,
Azealia King,

waiting in the conference room

to discuss her new book
with us.

- Fantastic.

I'll be right there.

- Okay.

[paper crumpling]

- Azealia, I have been
in this business

for a long time,

and rarely have I encountered
a voice

as timely and as relevant
as yours.

- Thank you,
but it's only been one book.

- [laughs]

- Three essays,
four short stories,

and that free verse you did
for Oprah's Vision Tour,

presented by Weight Watchers.

- And I loved

what I heard at Inkubator
the other night.

- Oh, no.
Oh, God.

I thought that was
just a workshop thing.

I didn't know
the suits were there.

- Charles may be wearing
a suit,

but he isn't a "suit."

He is a deeply creative
and artistic soul.

That's what makes us
different here.

- Aww.
[chuckles]

Let's cut to the chase.

Azealia doesn't like

the big
publishing company model.

She likes
how you're breaking it.

Tearing down
the old patriarchal structure,

blah, blah, blah.

- Yeah, I love this deal

where you drop a new chapter
every week.

- I love it too.
And it's as old as Dickens.

He used to serialize his novels
in the London newspapers.

- I'm not sure
the Victorian era is

the best reference
for what we're doing here.

- Whatever.
I just cannot go back

to that old-school
publishing model.

- Then let us offer you
an alternative

that we have been developing.

A paid app
where the chapters drop weekly.

Or whatever time frame
suits you.

With audio narration
as an option.

It is an e-book and a podcast
wrapped up together,

and we would launch the app
with you.

There's a huge incentive
to being first.

Like "House of Cards," Netflix.

- Yeah, let's keep
"House of Cards" out of this.

It didn't end so well.

- Uh,
"Orange is the New Black."

- Ooh, that's what
got me streaming.

- Right?
- Well, we'd like to see

this app before we commit
to anything.

- Kelsey?

- It's almost finished.

Maybe we could demo something
by next week?

- Sooner is better.

Azealias don't stay
in bloom forever.

- Honey, that shit is
starting to get tiresome.

- Sorry. I gotta be me.

Kelsey, could you give Azealia
a quickie tour?

I just need a moment
with these two.

- Oh, it would be my pleasure.

And Liza, I will see you
for lunch afterwards.

- Great.

- Thanks.
- All right, see you in a sec.

So I have a proposition.

- We are prepared to do
what it takes here.

- Oh, no, not her.
She's as good as yours.

Yeah, the app thing's
really got her fired up.

It's like you reinvented
the wheel.

- Thank you.
- I said reinvented.

[chuckles]
Charles is right.

Dickens did it first
over a hundred years ago.

- And podcasts are
really just radio.

- Exactly.
So good on you!

Anyway, since we're talking
"everything old is new again,"

I have an investment
opportunity for you.

My boyfriend of 11 months,

the incomparably talented
Austin Pinkner,

has written a new musical.

There's a backers audition
tonight.

Now, the theater world is
hermetically sealed.

[chuckles]
They don't welcome outsiders.

But I have convinced Austin
to reserve you a tranche.

- [laughs]
How much are they looking for?

- I'll let you know.
Don't get greedy.

[laughs]

Plus, it's always good
to be in on the joke.

- What's the joke?

- Come see it.
We'll talk after.

Curtain's at 8:00.

[light jazz music]

- Did I just agree to invest
in a musical?

- Damn, he's good.

* *

Hey. What's the big news?

- Hey.

So Rob sent
the Inkubator proposal

to some of his VC friends
just to get a valuation.

And this thing is worth

way more
than what Charles is thinking.

- How much more?

- I don't know, but there could
be a bidding war.

This is our moment.

We are gonna leave Empirical
and start Inkubator.

And Azealia's gonna come
with us.

I already talked to her
after the meeting.

- Wait, shouldn't we
at least give Charles

the chance to match any offer?

Use the leverage
to keep it in-house?

- Liza, you know how frustrated
I've been at Empirical.

We both have.

And I can't imagine
how it's been for you,

working beside your ex

and seeing him
with someone else.

- That's the thing.

Charles and I are...

finding our way back
to each other.

- What?

How?

When did this happen?

- It just did.
And I know.

I know it seems crazy.

But I'm in love with him.

And I love this company.

It has given me
everything, Kels.

I can't leave.

But I understand
that you have to.

This app is all you.

You have risked so much
to make it happen.

You deserve to fly.

- So what does this mean
for us?

We're gonna be competitors?

I don't wanna lose you
like I lost Zane.

- Kelsey, when we met,

you said you had my back.

And I never forgot it.

So believe me when I tell you
I will always have yours.

[soft music]

- [laughs tearfully]

This is business,
so don't make me cry.

- I know Charles is
going to be disappointed,

but he'll understand.

Just do me one favor, okay?

- Of course.

- Don't break the news to him

until after the Empirical
anniversary party.

- No problem.

I want him to enjoy it.

And I wanna celebrate it too.

* *

- My God.
[laughs]

Look how far we've come.

- [laughs tearfully]

* *

- Did you ever think
you'd be investing in Broadway?

- I'm not sure
this is investing.

It's more like
creative extortion.

[both laugh]

- Hello, friends

and deep-pocketed
business associates.

First, I wanna begin
by introducing you

to the genius

behind what you are
about to love,

the incomparably talented
Austin Pinkner.

Come on out here, handsome.
[applause]

- * Thank you all
for being here *

* I can't wait for you to see *

* Everything you see tonight
was written all by me, hey *

[applause]

- That was good. All right.

You're not
in the chorus anymore.

And now, without further ado,

I bring you..."Scamalot"!

[applause]

[cheers and applause]

- Well, at least the woman

portraying you was talented.

- Yeah.
And that's some company I'm in.

Elizabeth Holmes
and Bernie Madoff.

- As a condition
of my investment,

I told Redmond
that he would have to cut you

from that number.

- [laughs]
What did he say?

- "For a price,
anything is possible."

- [laughs]
- You see?

What'd I tell you?
It's extortion.

- I'm not worth it.

- You are.

- [sighs]

I'm gonna sleep
at my place tonight.

- Okay.

- I love you.

- I love you too.

- Here.
- Oh.

- Thanks.

Good night.
- Good night.

- [chuckles]
Seriously?

You wanna have dinner
in Harlem?

What'd you do,
pick a restaurant

a block from your house?

No, it's not about
who's paying.

No--wait--I just--

whatever is good for you, okay?

I told you, I am not bringing
Kamila's tits to dinner.

Fine. I'll see you tonight.

- Cass?
- Who else?

I mean, first she tries
to kill my career,

and now she's annoying me
to death.

- So I just got
some crazy news.

I-I did something
behind Charles' back

that hopefully he'll be
happy about.

- Oh, God, what'd you do
to that poor man now?

- I submitted
his unfinished book,

"The Miseducation
of Henry Cane,"

to Yaddo.

And, Maggie, he got in.

- Yadda yadda what?

- Yaddo, the prestigious
writers' colony.

Everyone from John Cheever
to Philip Roth,

Jonathan Franzen,
Flannery O'Connor,

they've all spent time there.

The list,
it goes on and on, and--

- Wow.

Well, obviously,
we have different definitions

of the word "crazy."

[phone buzzes]

What?

No, I don't have
any food allergies.

Is this dinner
or an inquisition?

[energetic music]

* *

- Good morning.

- Good morning.

- [sighs]

I, um...

I have something to confess,

and I hope you won't be mad.

- [chuckles]

Liza, as long as you are
being honest,

I can never be mad.

- Okay.

A few months ago,

I secretly submitted your book,

blind, without your name,
to Yaddo.

And they accepted you.

- Oh.

Wow.

That is surprising news.

- They recognized your talent.

I really hope you do this
for yourself.

Take the time
to finish your book,

even if it means we're apart
for a few months.

- Excuse me. Kelsey.

[lightly tense music]

- Morning.

- Have you had a chance
to review

my proposal for Inkubator?

I would love to make
the announcement together

at the party.

- Um, Charles,
it's the hundredth anniversary.

I don't wanna steal
Empirical's thunder.

- Not at all.

You're making us more relevant.

* *

- Hey, you told me
not to say anything,

and I didn't, but I cannot have
Charles make that announcement.

- I know.
I'll take care of it.

- I really need you to.

- I will.
I promise.

[upbeat music]

* *

[camera shutter clicks]

[camera shutter clicking]

- Amazing.
- [laughs]

- This entire company started
when my grandfather won

the foreign rights
to a Fitzgerald short story

in a poker game.

- Seriously?

- Yeah.

Who could've imagined?

He was a disrupter.

Like you and Kelsey,

with Inkubator.

- Before we go in,
there's something

that I need to tell you.

[soft dramatic music]

- Something else?

- Kelsey sent
the Inkubator proposal

to a bunch of VCs
for valuation.

- Was this before or after
she gave it to me?

- I don't know.

But the bottom line is,

Kelsey wants to take Inkubator
out on her own.

- I see.

- I asked her
not to tell you yet

because I didn't want anything
to spoil your evening, but...

Kelsey's going to leave
Empirical.

- And you?

- I'm not going anywhere.

And I'm not leaving you.

- Liza, I knew
that Kelsey sent the proposal

to outside investors.

- You knew?
Why didn't you say anything?

- I wanted to hear it
from you first.

- Wait, so you were testing me?

- Maybe.

In a way, I was.

But you passed.

Come on.

[upbeat jazz music]

[party chatter]

* *

- Oh, my God,
I am so proud of us.

This feels like my Hot Mitzvah
all over again.

[both laugh]
[sighs]

Can you believe
it's been a hundred years?

- Yeah, and you've barely been
working here a hundred minutes.

- [laughs]

Hey, say hello to my hot date.

- Denise! Hi.

- Sweetheart,
I am so impressed.

I mean, all I wanna do is
read, read, read.

[laughter]
- Okay, calm down, Mommy.

You know, I really wanted
to invite Max,

but he doesn't know
we're back together yet

even though astrally,
he gave me,

like, the most amazing head.

- Oh.
- Honey, get out of your head.

Call the man.
- Okay, I know.

I'm just--I wanna find

the most romantic spot
for our reunion.

- Ooh, why don't you
"Sleepless in Seattle" him?

Invite him to meet you

on the top
of the Empire State Building.

- No, I mean my generation's
romantic spot, but--

- [gasps]
Serendipity.

Because it is serendipitous

that you two
bumped into each other.

Plus the frozen hot chocolate.

- Yes! Mom!
You're a genius.

[phone chimes]
Oh.

Oh, my God. It's Max.

He, um--
he wants to meet me now.

Hospital cafeteria.
- Okay.

- But-but-but what about--
what about the party?

- Lauren, go.

- Come on. Love can't wait.
Go, sweetheart.

- Go!
- Okay, okay, okay.

- Oh, my God.

- But make sure the DJ
keeps the energy up, okay?

- So let's go have a shot?

- Oh, yeah.

- Juniper berries.
- Yeah.

- It's made of juniper--
juniper berries.

- I like that idea.

- Plant-based.
You know what?

[both laugh]

Seriously--seriously, though,

I really admire your ability
to keep creating art.

- Oh, please.
I mean, I have no choice.

It's the only thing I know
how to do.

- I wanted to be an artist.

But I didn't have the guts.

So I got into teaching instead.

- Well, it's never too late.

I mean, you just
have to be fearless.

- Oh, yeah,
I think it is too late.

You are like everything
I've always wanted to be.

A true artist.

- Thanks, Cass.

- And that's probably why

when I heard Kamila was
hitting on you,

it was just too much
for my fragile little ego.

I'm so sorry.
- Just stop.

You know what?
You are too good for her.

- Leaving her may be

the best thing
that ever happened to me

because I realized
I was defining myself

by a hot woman
and a prestigious-sounding job.

- Thanks.
- Thank you.

- I got it.
- No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Split. We'll split it.
- Oh, please.

- Here. Here, here, here.

- 40 bucks? Really?

I mean--
[laughs]

This barely covers
the cocktails

before the wine came.

- Then give me
the goddamn check.

I said I was taking you.
- Okay.

- It's the least I can do after
almost ruining your career.

- And then reviving it.

- Oh, my.

[scoffs]

I will Venmo you.

- Stop with that Venmo shit.
I mean, like, I hate that.

How do you get the money
out of the phone?

- Oh, I don't know what it is.

I have no idea.

I think
it's a streaming service.

- [laughs]

* *

- Hey, babe.
- Hi.

- Sorry I'm late.
- [laughs]

- This is a great party.

- Yeah.

It's kind of like
my farewell bash.

It's all done. Charles knows.

Now we just have to figure out
who to go with.

- Ooh.

These guys.

- They're basically tripling

what Charles offered you
on a first round,

plus they've got
a sick track record.

Think you've heard of Uber?

- Wow.

I love their valuation.

Uh, what's
the 20% participation

to the Triboro
Building Corporation?

Isn't that--isn't that you?

- Yeah, that's my piece
for putting the deal together.

- [laughs]

You're not an investment bank.

You just sent the email.

- Exactly.
My connections have value.

- Are you serious here?

- Babe, if you don't
wanna do it, don't do it.

Stay with Empirical.
No one's forcing your hand.

But I'm not gonna get
screwed here either.

- Well, what do you think
you're doing to me?

- Geez, I thought
you'd be thrilled.

- [scoffs]

- You know that if I was
offering this deal to a guy,

there wouldn't even be
a question.

- What are you saying?

- Just that I feel like
you want

special privileges
for being a woman.

No offense.
- Oh, none taken.

But you can take
your percentage

and shave it
up your misogynistic ass.

* *

[upbeat electronic music]

Excuse me.
- Oh.

- What exactly did you say
to Charles?

- The truth,
like you asked me to.

- I don't think
those outside investors

are going to amount
to anything.

- [sighs]

- And also, I have

the absolute worst taste
in men.

- Yeah, I know.

Hey, look, Charles isn't mad.

Just go up and give a speech

about how much
you love Empirical.

- Yeah, you're right.

You're right.

That's what I'm gonna do.

* *

[microphone squeaks]

Excuse me. Is this on?

Excuse me.

Oh, hi.

Hi.

Kelsey Peters here.

I just wanna express
my gratitude

for being part
of such an amazing story

and publishing history.

Books, literature, stories

have always been
a passion of mine.

I grew up

reading the great authors
published by Empirical.

Never once in my dreams
did I think

that I would be lucky enough
to actually work here

and help a generation

of new writers
find an audience.

[soft music]

Charles...

the day I met you was
the luckiest day of my life.

* *

You took a chance
on a young girl

with little more
than enthusiasm

and an English degree
from a second-rate college.

[laughter]

To this day, I don't know
why you chose me.

* *

I can't imagine
a more brilliant mentor.

You inspire me every day

with your determination
and passion

and genuine love
for what you do.

And if I've learned
one thing from you,

it's that in order to succeed,

you must take a risk.

And that's why I'm ready
to take one of my own.

You're my family.

You always will be.

But it's time for me to write
my next chapter.

And just know that no matter
what my future holds,

I owe it all to you.

[cheers and applause]

* *

- I'm happy for her.

I...I guess she really did
get her funding.

- Yeah, I guess she did.

- Thanks for dinner.
I had a really nice time.

- I had a great time too.

- So nice to make a new friend.
It's not easy at this age.

- Yeah.
Well, this is me.

- Oh.

Uh...
- [laughs]

- Good night.
- Good night.

- * Catch your breath *

* And take a moment
to assess *

- I really like you,
you know that?

- I really like you too.

And you still owe me
a pair of tits.

- You know where to find 'em,
hot stuff.

- * We're at the gate *

- And don't forget,
be fearless.

- * Play *

* Ooh *

[upbeat indie pop]

* *

- Is everything okay?

- Yeah.

- [laughs]
What was that for?

- I was just taking
your advice.

Being fearless.

- Oh.

* *

- English breakfast tea.
Two Splendas, right?

- Oh, my God, you remember.
- Of course.

I remember everything
about our time together.

- Max, I have not been able
to stop thinking about you

since you saved
my father's life.

- Oh, it's nothing a first-year
resident couldn't have done.

- Yes, but you did it,
and I--I don't know.

I just feel like
it's the universe's way

of bringing us together.

- Lauren,
there hasn't been a day

I haven't thought about you.

And at first,
it was because I was hurt.

But...
- Yeah.

- Then I thought about
how authentically

you lived your life,

and whenever I had an issue,
I thought,

WWLD?

- [laughs]
What would Lauren do?

Oh, my God, Max!
I'm gonna cry.

- And I thought
Lauren would trust

her real, honest feelings

and would never
question anything

that stretched the capacity
of the human heart.

- No. Never.

- That's why I'm so happy
we found each other again.

- Oh, my God, me too.

- I have been dying...

to introduce you to my fiancé.

- Wh...

[quirky music]

- Hi, Lauren.

I have heard so much about you.

- Hey.
- Hey.

You know,
but I never imagined petite.

I always thought you'd be
a little more...you know...

- Zaftig?
- Yeah.

[both laugh]
- Ah.

Well, I am Shelley Winters
on the inside.

[both laugh]
- I told you.

I told you she's funny.

- [laughs forcefully]
So how did you two...

- Oh, well, I had my eyes
on this one for years.

- Aww.
- [laughs]

So I wanna thank you

for encouraging
this fabulous man

to be exactly who he is.

- Aww.
- [laughs]

- I'm kvelling.
[laughs]

I mean, gay men are really
the only guys I can get behind.

[laughter]

And actually...
[clears throat]

I would be more than happy
to get behind both of you.

Are you open?

- She's so funny.

- She's not kidding.

- Yeah, no, I'm not kidding.
Come on, guys.

WWLD?

- * Go! *

[upbeat music]

* *

- Nice night.

- Yeah, it really was.

- You're gonna have
your hands full without Kelsey.

- [laughs]
I know.

It's gonna be weird
having her as a competitor.

- Oh, I think your friendship
can handle it.

I'm just glad you told me.

- Yeah, me too.

- Good night.
- Good night.

- Hey.

If I hadn't gotten into Yaddo,

would you have let me know?

- Um...

I don't know.

Maybe not.

- Yeah.

Yeah, why bother?

Since I didn't even know
you applied.

Would've just been
your little secret.

- Right.

Hey.

[solemn music]

* *

We're not gonna make it,
are we?

* *

- I don't think so.

- * It's just like
breathing underwater *

* Ooh *

* Ooh, ooh, ooh *

* Ooh, ooh, ooh *

* Never gonna let go *

- So now I have
this amazing company

and no investor.

Can't believe I didn't realize

Rob was
such a manipulative tool.

- Oh, I could've told you that.

But unfortunately,
that's the opinion

you've always had of me, so...

- [sighs]
Clare, I am so sorry.

[baby coos]

I hope that you can forgive me.

- I do.

I'm just...

I'm sorry you had to find out
the hard way.

Forgive me for getting
so upset?

- Oh, my God,
you had every right to be.

And I'm only staying here
a short time.

I promise.

- Well, when you get tired

of listening to Gemma cry
all night here,

you can always come
and listen to her at my place.

I've got a fold-out couch
that's pretty comfy.

- Thank you.

- Oh, of course.

After all, we tunnel sisters
have to stick together.

[both laugh]

Right.
- Bye, Gemma.

- Bye.
- Come get her tomorrow, Daddy.

- Mm-hmm.
- Yeah.

[grunts]
Let's go.

[both laugh]

- Bye.
- Bye.

- She's pretty great.

- Yeah.

- You know, her pull-out
might be more comfortable

than sleeping in bed
with Lauren.

[both laugh]

- Yeah, about that.

I kinda think you and Lauren

should just have this place
for yourselves.

- What?

[laughs]
Where are you gonna go?

- Landlord here's going through
a pretty nasty divorce

and needed to sell quickly,
so I put in an offer.

- What?
- Mm-hmm.

- Like, on the whole building?
- Uh-huh.

It's four apartments
plus Inkburg, so...

- That's amazing. Josh!

And amazingly expensive.

A whole entire building
in Williamsburg?

- Yeah, well, I mean,
I'm doing pretty well, so...

- Oh.

- Plus it's, like,
an insane deal.

I couldn't say no.

I could always just pull
the offer

and invest in you
and your company.

I'm serious. Come on.

Hey, I really believe
in you, Kels.

- That means so much to me.

But I can't let you do that.
[laughs]

I'm gonna figure it out,
I promise.

- Okay, I gotta go downstairs
and open up,

but if you need anything,
holler, neighbor.

- Okay, landlord.
- [laughs]

[door squeaks open and shut]

- [sighs]

[phone chimes]

[light music]

- No way.

* *

No way.

* *

- Wow.

Where did that come from?

- Belonged to my grandfather.

- It's beautiful.
- Hmm.

- Did he win that
in a poker game too?

- [chuckles]

No.

But he did give it to me
when I went to college.

I actually banged out

the first half of "Henry Cane"
on this thing.

Something about
striking the keys

inspires me.

It's like playing
an instrument.

- I love it.

It's very old-school.

- Yeah.

Well, that's me.

Old-school kinda guy.

Um, Liza, sit down.

[clears throat]

We need to talk about
the working arrangement here.

I think that as Empirical goes
into this next chapter,

I'm gonna have to make
some changes.

- I was thinking
the same thing.

I figured you'd want me
to tender my resignation.

- Well...

you know I would give you
the best references.

- I appreciate that.

- But we're not gonna do
that dance again.

Kelsey is gone,

and I need someone
to run this place

while I am at Yaddo.

- Seriously?

- Yeah.

And maybe longer,

depending on how things go.

I've spent enough years looking
over other writers' shoulders.

You don't think it's too late

to start a second career,
do you?

- Never.

- [chuckles]

- Charles...

[soft music]

* *

Thank you.

- No, Liza.

Thank you.

* *

[upbeat music]

- No.
- Yes.

I was sandwiched between them.

[overlapping chatter]

- Girl, work.
- Stop!

So you don't have just one guy,
you have two.

- Yes.

- So are you in a throuple?

- Liza, throuple, no.

No, no, no, no, no.
That is so your generation.

Listen, I am free and I am
happily non-heteronormative.

- Well, honey, stay that way

because when love
finally bites you in the ass,

there ain't nothing
you can do about it.

- Wait a minute,
did I just hear you say

you're in love?

- I don't know. I don't know.

But you know what they say
about love and hate.

It's two sides
of the same coin.

And, you know,
I guess that means

there's gotta be
something there.

[laughter]
- Ahh! To Maggie in love!

- Yes! To Maggie in love.

- Oh, I'm gonna be miserable
for the rest of my life.

- Ugh. Hi, guys.
Oh, my God.

I'm so sorry I'm late.

I just heard the news.
- [sighs]

- Congratulations!
I couldn't be happier.

- Yes, say hello to the new
editor in chief of Empirical.

- [laughs]
- Whoo-hoo!

- Thank you. Thank you.

Whose first order of business
is hiring you back.

- Okay, well, I actually have
some news of my own.

I found a backer
for my company.

- Oh, my God.
- Fantastic.

- Yes, they heard about it

and just contacted me
out of the blue.

- Who?

- It's someone
we've worked with for years.

Who loves and supports women
and female voices,

and they've been right under
our nose this entire time.

I can't believe I didn't think
to ask!

- Who?
- Come on! Give it up!

- Kelsey!

- Hello Sunshine.
[all gasp]

- What?!
- Reese Witherspoon's company.

They love me,
and they love my business plan.

They wanna take

a huge equity stake
in Inkubator.

- Kelsey, this is incredible!
- This is awesome!

- There's one catch.

- You have to play
"Legally Blonde" on a loop?

- [laughs]

- The company is not gonna be
based in New York.

So I'm moving to Los Angeles.

- [gasps]
- Okay. I'm shook.

But I am so proud of you, baby.

- Yes. I'm coming to visit.

Get a pool.
- [laughs]

- And I am going to get us
another round of drinks.

- Please.
- Kelsey, this is so...amazing.

- All right.
- Ahh, it's fabulous!

- How did this happen?

- Hi.
Excuse me? Sir?

Sir?

Hello? Hello!

Ah.

Hello!

I need some help over here.

- Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Hey.

You don't wave a shoe.
- Oh.

- You never wave a shoe.

You know, in Thailand,

that's considered
a capital offense.

- And you've been to Thailand?

- Ah, no.
But I have been to Myanmar.

- Which used to be Burma.

- Back in the day.
- I knew that.

[both laugh]

Sorry. I didn't see you there.

- Really?

Because you know what?

I've been right here,

by your side,

all along.

[The Chainsmokers and Kelsea
Ballerini's "This Feeling"]

[hopeful pop music]

- So are these real, or...

- Yeah.
- Can you wash 'em off?

- I mean, this arm is
actually all fake.

- [laughs]
- None of these are real.

- None of those are real?
- This is all real.

- Oh, so you could technically
wash all those off.

- * But no one listens to me,
so I put it in this song *

- * And I say oh *

- * Oh *

* I say yeah *

* Yeah, yeah, yeah *

* They don't know *
