I want to say to anyone who's ever been kicked out of college, it'll definitely

be okay.

You'll get a job as an apprentice designer if you just send out enough

then one day, you'll win a top award and you'll be able to say, See, Ali, what

do you know anyway?

I rock.

I know.

I should be freaking out.

But I'm not.

Okay. I'm okay.

It's okay.

Maybe there's been a tiny bit of freaking out.

But that was the past.

This is the new me.

78 done so far. Another 21 to do today.

Then every designer in London will have my details.

I'll talk to her.

Just as soon as I have something happy to share.

This assignment won't be graded, but it is important.

I want all of you to turn this canvas into art, combining the skills of your

group. Yes, Nisha, you do have to do this. It's mandatory.

No, Lee, you can't just take photographs on your own. And Sam, the point of this

is I think it matters.

I've got a question you didn't answer.

Where's Nyla?

Not indulging in gossip, Jamie.

You should do the same.

Work in your regular group.

Food is bound to help this situation, so I think we should all brainstorm over

lunch.

I'm not hungry.

But I'll see you later for band practice, all right?

Just because we have to work together doesn't mean we have to be together.

I'll email you all my ideas.

What she said.

Not the double date scenario I was hoping for.

Oh, agreed.

Let's get out of here.

And that is why I hate group projects.

We don't need them. We can be a group.

Of two.

I don't need anyone else.

Hello?

That's me.

Really?

Yes, of course. 3 p .m. is perfect.

Thank you.

Totally worth the knee injury.

I wasn't expecting you till tonight. We told the taxi driver to go extra fast

because we missed your face so much.

Yep, your voice on the phone is not the same.

Wow, without Nisha and all her bosses everywhere, this flat is huge.

So, I also have some other news too.

Guess who has an interview this afternoon?

No way, awesome sauce.

You okay, Lex?

Bus crime, I'm dying for a shower, but keep talking because I'm going to hear

everything. What's the job?

Well, it's not a job in the traditional sense because I'm not actually being

paid, but it's for Tamara York. You mean the Tamara York?

I know! I couldn't believe she actually liked my work and I... Why is the water

so cold?

And I guess my interview prep involved a cold shower.

Hey, I worked on that lyric we talked about, but I couldn't find anything that

rhymes with arrow, except with sparrow, but then suddenly it becomes a song

about shooting a bird, which seems a little bit harsh.

Lenny, I don't really care about lyrics right now.

I don't really care about the band right now. I think it's best if I just quit.

I know I messed up. I should have been honest with you. I should have told you

the truth. I get that.

But you love the band. I guess things just change.

Take the hint, Lenny.

Walk away now.

Misha?

Cool, you're back.

I was thinking about your birthday tomorrow.

What did you want to do?

A whole heap of nothing.

Wow. I thought I'd be the festive one in this relationship.

I can't be fair to Sam.

It's pretty much done with me.

He doesn't even want to be in the same room as me.

It sucks.

He's my Han Solo.

I love that you self -identified Chewbacca.

You don't need him.

We can be a group.

Of two?

I don't need anyone else.

Okay, fine.

You can plan something epic for my birthday.

Okay, sweetie.

Listen, I'm going to have to call you back. I'm just in a meeting right now.

Sorry about that.

Right, where were we?

I think I was fangirling you in a really embarrassing way.

Which was undeserved, but very welcome.

Oh.

I see here you haven't finished college. Why's that?

I know that college can be really valuable, but I just think the real

can... You know what?

I'm going to risk honesty. I was kicked out of college.

Well, it's very brave of you to be so frank.

Just like it was brave of you to speak out against Oscar Bierfeld.

You know I used to work for him.

Bugle told me. He never took any of my ideas seriously.

To him, I was just some stupid girl he could talk down to. I know that feeling.

The day I left and set up on my own was the best day of my life.

Close second was the day I read what you'd said publicly about him.

Things I'd only ever said in private.

So I'll just cut this short and say, you can start tomorrow.

I got the job!

I learned how to repressurize a boiler.

But yeah, your news wins. We're so proud of you, Nyla.

Thanks, guys.

You know what I'm going to do to celebrate?

I'm going to come home and have a nice hot shower.

About that.

I don't know how to repressurize a boiler in theory.

In practice, it is a lot harder.

The repairman's coming tomorrow.

So, no hot shower.

It's okay.

I'm going to share my happy news with Lee.

I need to talk to you. Isn't it a bit late for talking? What else is there

to say?

It was me that kissed Satori.

Yeah.

Yeah, because that's what this situation needed to get a bit more messed up.

And I know it doesn't help anything, but I am genuinely sorry.

And if that means our friendship is done, OK, I deserve that.

But Lenny doesn't.

I told him not to say anything.

So hate me, not him.

You know, I'm pretty good at multitasking.

I can hate you both.

What time is it now?

Five minutes later than when you asked last time.

He said he'd be here at eight. If I don't wash my hair soon, we're going to

able to fry doughnuts on it.

I think my hair has actually frozen solid in the shower. Wow.

I thought you were starting your new job, not hitting a club.

Oh, Tamara asked me to wear her designs at work.

It's not my usual casual wear, but it's cool, right?

Very right.

Wish me luck.

Good luck.

Good luck.

What time is it now? Let's see.

Fine, but he's late. When he gets there, he's going to get a piece of my mind, a

piece that is really angry.

Mama's here.

Sorry, I'm late.

Couldn't find anywhere to park.

Are you late?

Later.

Can

you

meet me here tonight?

Not to paint, but, um...

Something else.

At 7 .30?

Has there something else got anything to do with epic birthday celebration?

The word epic might raise expectations too high, but maybe.

So can you?

Yes, I can.

Now, I like this place to smell good, so you're responsible for spraying three

sprays of my signature scent into the room every hour.

You also need to get lunch for the guests and do the post run. Might have

post -jog.

Post -jog is fine.

And in case you're worried, I just got you here to spray perfume.

These are all the postgraduate designers who want to work for me. I'd like you

to pick out any that you think are talented.

Nothing tells me you have a good eye.

When was the last time you had this serviced?

I'm going to go with never.

Okay.

I just thought boilers were like giant kettles.

I guess they are. Giant kettles with many complex breakable parts.

Do you like being a plumber?

Never really thought about it.

My dad's a plumber, so I just joined the family business.

That's exactly like me. You're a plumber who joined the family business.

I'm a model, but I never really planned it. It just sort of happened.

actually have loads in common.

So, what's the verdict?

I had no idea there were so many talented people out there.

Um, there is one who is insanely good.

Uh, Marissa and Maury.

Look at these.

I was right.

You do have a good eye.

Great work, Nyla.

Great work.

Well done.

Make sure you get a service regularly from now on.

Well, I'll probably forget, so for the sake of the boiler, you'll have to

me.

I do need to ring the date that you're going to take me on.

Thanks, but, uh, no thanks.

Oh, and...

Keep an eye on that pressure gauge.

Hey.

I made that for you.

Yeah, when you were eight and just moved in next door.

It's not really true now, though, is it?

It is, though.

I know you're mad at me, but we're connected.

We always have been.

I made a mistake, but we can get past this.

We have before.

Who did you kiss?

It's not important.

They don't matter to me.

Who did you kiss?

Just a random guy.

I don't even remember his name.

I know it was Lee.

Okay. It was Lee.

I was going to tell you, but... You can't stop lying to me. I can.

I will.

I swear I won't hurt you again.

No, you won't.

Because I won't let you.

So, let's go see evidence one more time. He was hard.

I asked him out on a date. He said no.

Was anything jumping out at you there? Lex, I told you before. I don't know.

I don't want to be late. This is my first job with Lucy as my agent.

Yeah, you're right. Go. Your job is almost as important as this.

And I'll sort the broken boiler.

But it was just working.

You know what boilers are like. The flange pocket detaches from the

and it's game over.

Still coming back a bit later.

Oh.

Then we'll get to the bottom of this mystery.

Most people knock, but... I can't believe you told Sam. That's not what

Really? Because it feels like it is. I was trying to fix things with Sam and

Lenny. And I'm just collateral damage because Lenny's feelings are the only

that matter. You're making it sound like I chose him over you.

You have.

I haven't.

It's not that simple. Why not, Lee? What's so hard about it? You love your

boyfriend, don't you? Of course.

But I... So where's the dilemma?

You choose him, right?

Every time.

Why wouldn't you? You choose him.

I choose you.

Why?

I want you to tell me why.

You woke me up.

Well, I don't choose you.

I didn't choose you then.

I don't choose you now. I am never going to choose you.

It's actually very sweet of you to give me your room.

You know, if something told me you weren't going to be happy on the sofa

forever. Oh, it was horrible. And Jamie and Naomi kept making out on the beanbag

right in front of me. Oh, that's so gross.

At least Athena's got one happy couple.

So you and Satori are... Very much done.

I'm pleased.

Because? Because she's a horrible cheater who didn't deserve you.

Right. That's actually good.

Because... Friends are important, and right now you're my only one.

So you know yesterday?

Yeah. You know I asked you a question?

Yeah. And you know you answered the question.

Look, see, I charge by the hour.

You might want to hold this up.

Why do you say no to a date?

Is it the greasy hair?

No. You know you're cute, even with greasy hair.

I'm also super fun. I'm sure you are, but that's not what I'm looking for.

Casual dating isn't really my thing.

With me, you're either all in or all out.

Oh. Well, I guess I'm sort of half in, half out.

I don't really do serious.

That's what I thought.

Does this mean we'll never see each other again?

I guess not.

Which... Which is a shame, because you're the only person I know with

marshmallows in their boiler.

That's what we got to.

You know, there is one possible compromise.

We could be friends.

Friends?

The guy?

I've never really done that before.

But okay.

Why not?

You know, there are also some gummy bears in there too.

Sitting with a pad of paper, pouring out my thoughts.

Looking out the window, daydreams of what's to come.

Will I feel like I belong?

When the drawing comes to life, I know that I'm not wrong.

The color fill of the pages, a picture like a song.

I hope that they all feel it too.

I'm not good at it.

to shadow cause I feel like I'm drawing someone else's

story looking at the outlines from up above and when we're all here

together there ain't nothing we can't weather filling in the outlines with the

color of our love it's what we're dreaming of

You didn't eat the cake.

I took the balloon, though.

But then I let it go.

You reach an age where birthdays are unimportant anyway.

Yeah.

Pretty sure the age is, like, 50 -something.

What happened?

Satori happened.

Are you and her... No.

I can't keep pretending this is right.

Well, I know it's not, but isn't it?

I'm pretty sure we're excellent together.

I think we've been excellent together.

But it's over now.

Do you love me?

Then I don't understand.

Honestly?

Neither do I.

You hired Marissa.

No, not exactly. What you're looking at is a Tamara York original.

But... It's the same as... Okay, I think we need to have a chat.

We do?

Well, I'm concerned, Nyla. You could have a great future here, but you don't

seem to know how the game is played.

Now, have you ever heard of Terrence Ride's tube dress?

Of course. It's an iconic design. It's my iconic design.

He took it from me while we were still at art college.

Happens to every young designer. That's just the way it is.

But why does it have to be that way?

Oh, wow.

I thought your naivety was part of this cutesy good girl shtick, but it's

actually real, isn't it?

Okay.

Reality check.

The professional world is not fair, and that goes double for this industry. I

thought you liked me because I spoke out against it.

Well, it would also help that you're a name that still gets attention.

I knew having you here would be free publicity.

And, to be fair, no one has ever looked as good as you do in my clothes.

Look. Sometimes you're the one taking advantage, sometimes you're the one

taken advantage of. But the wheel keeps turning, and eventually, it's your turn

to benefit.

I've never benefited that way. Yes, you have.

You've seen the size of the pile of wannabes. I picked you out because of

name.

Now, what's it going to be, Nyla?

Take the opportunity you've been given to stay quiet and on top of the pile, or

end up buried back in the middle with all the other do -gooders.

It's your choice.

Have you ever had one of those moments where it feels like you're standing at a

crossroads?

One road looks pretty tempting, but you can't walk down it without losing

yourself. And the other road just leads to a whole load of questions.

But if you're going to keep moving, you have to pick a road.

You're right.

The industry is unfair, but it doesn't have to be that way.

I want to work here, but I don't want to work for someone who steals other

people's designs.

Then you're done.

Dry clean your dress before you send it back to me.

So let me get this right. I set a group assignment.

Now that group is just you.

You may as well let me take photographs by myself.

So in the interest of not wasting this exercise, what do you think of it?

I think it's a reminder of another time.

I just can't right now.

Have you ever had one of those moments where there's only one place left to go?

Hello? Mum?

We got this all together, no matter what they say.

We'll weather any storm and we'll ride it to the end. Just stay connected.
