Well, see you next year, Donovan.

And, Jayden, when I figure out who broke your candy cane,

there will be hell to pay.

Aw. It's always so sad when the Christmas decorations come down.

You know, what's really sad is that it's almost March.

Yeah, well, don't remind me. All this time,

and I still have gotten no nibbles on my job applications.

I keep telling you, you've got to zhuzh up your résumé a bit.

Well, you know, you say "zhuzh,"

but what you really mean is "lie."

Still feel terrible about shrinking the font size to 11.

Come on, babe.

You're up against people who are embellishing

the hell out of their achievements,

and your résumé... it's just so honest.

Look at this. Look at this.

He has a section called "Weaknesses."

Car sickness?

In case they wanted to carpool.

Mrs. B,

thanks for lending us Terrence.

Oh, no, no, no! Don't put him there!

Uh-uh, girl. Him and Jimmy got beef.

No, no, no. I got you, I got you, I got you.

Dave, your competition is making up

all kinds of stuff on their résumé.

If you want to make an honest living, you gonna have to lie.

I guess you make a good point.

The good point I've been making for four months?

You know, Calvin, you're right.

Maybe I do need to zhuzh it up a little.

He didn't even say "zhuzh." I said "zhuzh."

I have to say, I'm on Team Calvin.

You mean Team Gemma!

Whoa.

You wouldn't believe how much I embellished my résumé.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Are you saying I hired you off a zhuzhed-up résumé?

Too late.

I have your grandbaby.

♪ Welcome to the block, welcome to the neighborhood ♪

♪ Welcome to the hood. ♪

Oh, my God. Gemma!

They just dropped a clip from the new episode

of Trophy Divas of Brentwood.

Okay.

-Savannah took muscle relaxants. -Uh-huh.

She drove her Cybertruck into Sephora.

Oh, wait. Oh, wait.

Sephora the store or Sephora the housewife?

-Bitch, both. -Oh, my God.

Okay, no, no, no, no. No more spoilers.

Let's go watch. Let's go watch.

Dave. Dave.

Guess who just called. The jeweler.

You didn't let me guess. You know I love to guess.

I'm sorry, man.

But Courtney's engagement ring is finally ready.

Operation Proposal is underway.

-All right. -Yeah.

Now I got to pick the perfect day to pop the question.

What do you think of a prime number date?

To show that we can't be divided.

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

Hey, Dad, uh, can you just sign this?

Yeah, sure. What is it?

Um, the usual. No need to bother reading it.

I already, uh, read it for you.

In that case, I definitely want to read it.

Hey, Grover, you have played this very badly.

Um, it just says I don't have to do PE because of my asthma.

Oh, been there. I know exactly how you feel.

No, you don't. He doesn't have asthma.

What? Little boy, that is stolen valor.

Look, let's not argue over who does and doesn't have asthma

when all you have to do is sign your name right there,

and then I get a free period.

Okay, Grover, that would be a lie.

What? Everybody does it.

Charlie said he was allergic to his own sweat,

and Jacob claimed a religious exemption to volleyball.

I don't care what everyone does.

Honesty matters, and the truth will always come out.

Real eyes realize real lies.

I'm sorry, what was that?

Okay, you know what? I'm gonna slow it down.

Real eyes

realize

real lies.

I realize I should have asked Mom.

Okay, close your eyes and open your mouth.

Mmm. I'm gonna say toro.

-What part of the toro? -The belly.

Hey, you're getting good at this.

Well, we do sit here every night and play "guess the sushi."

Mercedes, we've been going out for the last two months,

and you know, we have never actually gone out.

Uh, we go out. We've gone out to the patio to meet the sushi guy.

Look, come on, Sadie.

Okay.

I know it's not ideal, but as soon as we go out,

everything will change.

People will recognize me and they'll swarm us

and they'll take our picture

and you can kiss your private life goodbye.

Look, I don't want that, but...

keeping me hidden away like this, I feel like a side piece.

Oh, come on, Malcolm. You're my only piece.

No. No.

No, see, you kissing me like this

will not make these... issues go away.

Okay.

Yup. I... What were we talking about?

Okay.

Done. No! Too obvious.

Oh.

She plays chess, you idiot.

Hey-hey-hey.

Look who's home early.

Yup. And I don't have to pick Daphne up from day care

for another 20 minutes.

-Oh. Really? -Really.

So, I was thinking we could get into a little afternoon delight.

Oh.

No, no, no, no.

No?

No. No. Uh...

Not, not on the couch. The bed.

So much for spontaneity.

Uh, well, not on the bed,

under the bed.

What?

Yeah. Look, you said you wanted spontaneity. Let's go.

Okay.

All right!

This is what I'm talking about.

This is a well-zhuzhed résumé.

Well, a lot of good it's doing me.

All these jobs are just out of my reach, li-like this one...

background in conflict mediation and therapy.

Okay, great, but it's with the L.A. Rams.

Rams?

Yeah.

What's the but? I mean, there is no but, Dave.

The "but" is, it says "Football experience a must."

Oh, Dave, come on.

"Football experience a must," man.

That could mean anything.

I think it means I must have football experience.

I mean, well, you played football, right?

-No. -In middle school.

Nope. The only sports my mom allowed me to play

were coed badminton and soccer.

Dave, what does the rest of the world call soccer?

-Football. -Boom.

There's your football experience.

I guess you could make that case, but, Calvin...

No, no, no, no, no, no, Dave, no more buts.

Come on, man. This is a great job for you.

You'll be doing what you love.

You'll be providing for your family.

That is true.

And it comes with great perks for you... and me.

Last season I had a vendor...

they took me to their luxury box at SoFi Stadium.

Dave, it was paradise.

You and me

hanging out in a luxury box.

Yeah, man, and-and-and-and, Dave...

That dessert cart,

-all the churros you could eat, baby. -Churros?

-Say no more. Game on. -Let's go.

All right, what we watching?

Oh, my God.

We have finished Netflix.

-Come on. -No, baby, look.

Already watched, already watched, already watched.

It doesn't even have suggestions.

Okay, uh...

Let's do it.

Get Hulu?

Let's get out of here.

Wait. Really?

Yeah, but it's got to be someplace

that no one would ever look for me.

Actually, I know a secluded place

right here in Venice.

Are you sure?

Yes.

Now come on before you change your mind.

And, hey, look, trust me, we will be inconspicuous.

Mmm.

-Ah! -Unity!

Shh, shh. Be cool.

-Be cool. Be cool. Be cool. -I am cool.

Okay, what-what was that shot?

Well, this was very cheap tequila.

Ding, ding, ding.

I told you, see, "guess the shot"

is a lot more fun than "guess the sushi."

-Hello, Lenny. Thank you, Leonard. -Be cool.

Oh, my God, did you see the headline

on Entertainment Tonight?

"Mercedes' Mystery Man"? Of course!

Okay?

-I have theories. -Me, too.

It's got to be the tennis instructor from season three.

You saw the way he restrung her racket.

No way she's dating some hourly worker.

Oh, my God. You don't think it could be.

Savannah's hot stepson?

Tina, her stepson is gay.

Mercedes' first husband was gay. That's her type.

Eh.

Have you asked Malcolm? He knows her.

Uh-bup-bup-bup-bup. Adding him now.

Oh.

Mama? Hey, um, good morning.

Malcolm, are you hungover?

Yeah, you look horrible. Ugh.

What is Gemma doing here?

We want answers.

Who is the mystery man?

What are you talking about?

-He hasn't seen it yet. -It's all over the Internet.

Mercedes was seen at some restaurant with a new guy.

-She was? -Ugh.

Who is he? Spill it.

Oh, so-so-so you can't tell who it is?

-Ugh. -He's a mystery man, duh.

Duh.

Mm-hmm.

Uh, wh-wh-whose foot is that?

Mine.

I'm doing yoga.

Y'all messing up my chi. I got to go.

He was useless.

But flexible.

Calvin.

Calvin. The guy from the Rams responded.

He wants to Zoom with me about the job. ASAP.

Oh, man, that's great.

Yeah, yeah, but... I have no idea what I'm gonna say.

Zhuzhing a résumé is one thing,

but a live interview? That's zhuzh-proof.

I don't know the first thing about football.

I don't know when they kick. I don't know why they kick.

Okay. Dave, just calm down, all right?

It's a remote job interview.

I can just stand outside the camera

and coach you, like a defensive coordinator.

Is that who decides when they kick?

Baby.

Good morning.

Not as good as... yesterday afternoon.

I was finding dust bunnies in my pants all day.

Oh, yeah. Me, too.

We should really use the Swiffer under there.

Mm.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,

whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Since when do you eat Frankenflakes with ScaryBerries?

I don't, but I'm out of raisin bran, so...

Ah-da-da.

-It's mine. -So?

You wouldn't like it. It...

it's so fruity, it's scary.

Fine. I'll have yogurt.

Okay.

Ah, you know what? I am being selfish.

Here you go. Enjoy.

A lot of people think,

off season, must be pretty easy right now.

Fact is, for those of us off the field,

it's the busiest time of year.

So you guys aren't playing right now.

I like a guy who doesn't take himself too seriously.

Now we're just looking forward to this year's draft.

What do you think of this kid Brottmiller?

Br-Brottmiller. Uh...

Yeah, he... he has got an arm.

And he, uh,

he runs.

Out of his pocket.

You know your stuff.

Maybe we should hire you as a scout.

You know, I was actually a Boy Scout.

Yeah, th-that's on your résumé.

Speaking of which, football experience.

Tell me, what position did you play?

Position? Well, I was a...

I was a strong...

safe...

Tea. I was a strong safety.

Would've guessed punter.

But great.

The fact that you work in mediation

and you're a therapist?

That's what we're looking for.

All right, next step,

we're gonna loop in Tim and the training staff.

I'll send you a link later today.

Okay, great. Uh, looking forward to it.

Thank you.

-We did it. -Yeah, baby.

David, you just nailed it, man.

-Oh, God. -I can already taste those churros in the luxury box.

So it went well?

Gemma, it was a field goal.

Do we really have to play catch?

Yes. What's more American than a father and son

tossing around the old pigskin?

That was a pig?

I have no idea.

Now come on, go long.

Grover, you're gonna need this practice for PE. Now hut.

You got this.

You threw that right at me.

-Did you just hit my truck? -No, no, no.

D-Did you just hit my truck? Dave, did you just hit my truck?

No. Cal-Cal-Calvin. Calvin.

I was just trying to teach football to Grover.

Well, that's nice, but

how about we focus on things we can actually achieve?

Like you getting this job.

Well, I'm feeling pretty good about it.

Well, feeling pretty good is not good enough, Dave.

You got to ace this interview, man.

C-Come on, name some players.

Easy. Travis Kelce.

Okay, name any player that's not engaged to Taylor Swift.

I got nothing.

Dave, you got to pretend like you know this stuff.

Wait, so I can't fake asthma to get out of sports,

but you can lie to get into them?

Well, Grover, it's not the same thing.

-Why not? -Okay, well, superficially, sure, yes,

but when you're an adult,

you will learn the difference between real lies

and lies you don't even realize are lies.

Dave, what the hell are you saying?

He's saying adults can lie and kids can't.

Well, exactly.

Go on now.

Some of the earliest memories I have with my dad,

watching those Chiefs.

Now Travis Kelce's team.

Well, Dave, clearly you are a great fit for the job.

We just want to...

Was that your boy?

Hey, little man.

Uh, hello.

How you doing, son?

So, are you a third-generation football fan, huh?

You bet he is.

Yes. Uh...

Football is my favorite.

I... Just the way the players...

uh, run, the way they throw the ball,

you know, and they sometimes

catch it. Uh...

Well...

I-I just try to,

I just try to catch as many games as I can.

You must be a proud dad.

Yeah. Um...

I am a proud dad, and...

I would like to stay that way.

Um, listen,

Graham, I'm gonna be honest with you.

I've actually never played...

I want those churros, Dave.

Yes.

Congratulations, man.

Listen, Courtney is a keeper.

-Yeah. Thanks, big bro. -Yeah.

-You're welcome. -And thank you for holding the ring.

Of course, man.

Does this smell like ScaryBerries?

Yes. Yes. It's a long story.

I am telling you, man, there is no safe place

in this house. This woman is everywhere.

Hello.

-Wow! -She's omnipresent!

Oh, you dropped something.

-No, no, no, no, no. -Oh!

-No, it's just, um... -Whoa.

It's-it's-it's just, it's very, very

-personal. -Yeah.

-Oh. Say no more. -Yeah.

He's extremely constipated.

It's his fiber supplement pills.

He all locked up in here.

She said, "Say no more."

-Yes, she did. -Yeah.

Oh, Malcolm, it is nothing to be ashamed of.

I'm gonna make you a kiwi smoothie, but

you better not have any plans.

You owe me so big.

Calvin, I can't help but feel like I let you down

by not getting that job.

Yeah, because you did let me down, Dave.

Okay, well, I can look my son in the eye

and know that I set a good example.

I'm comfortable with my decision.

Well, not as comfortable as we would've been

in that luxury box.

Dave, don't worry. You'll get the next one.

I know I will, and...

Gemma, I don't want you to feel bad.

I know you meant well when you told me to lie on my résumé.

Wait. Now I get the credit?

I mean, what were you thinking, Gemma?

Hey, Gemma, E.T. is back on.

And Trophy Diva of Brentwood

Mercedes Selznick was out on the town,

canoodling with this tall drink of water.

And all of Mercedes Nation wants to know:

who is this new boy toy?

-Uh... Mm-mm. Mm-mm. -What?

Oh, my God.

That's Malcolm.

Please. That blur? You can't even see a face.

I don't need to see a face. Look, the-the ear,

that walk.

That ain't no damn boy toy!

That's my baby!
