There's a lot of things I can tolerate.

Gluten, chatty Uber drivers, singing happy birthday at work. But one thing I

absolutely cannot forgive, betrayal.

And it's happened to me plenty.

Teresa, I need you.

Please do not leave me for the fishmans. They don't need you. They're so much

cleaner than I am. Exactly.

Ally.

Oh. Um, my hairstylist, she called in sick. And so the shampoo girl said she

could do it.

It looks good.

Good. You're done.

Yeah, I love it.

That is 400.

Thank you. Go, go, go, go. Give me those four.

Come on.

She's gone. I knew it. Put it back.

But I never expected to be betrayed like this.

How could Dyson do this to us?

I know. After I discovered him, I nurtured him, I built him up, he should

grateful. You gave him too much positive reinforcement.

This is why I never compliment anyone.

You all suck at your jobs. It's so good to have you back. Okay, what does he

want? Well, apparently more than league minimum. Even though he's under

contract, he's not going to play until he gets paid market value.

Ali, get me some comps for Dyson. Small forwards, under 25, first long -term

deals. Got it?

Got it. Okay, can we give him a slightly bigger contract? I mean, Sandy, how

much room do we have under the cap? We're already dangerously close to going

over. Yeah, if we give Dyson what he wants, we're going to have to pay the

luxury tax, too. I'm all for tariffs.

Not like this.

Let me play devil's abacus. Dyson was scoring 18 points a game in the

He's not even old enough to rent a car. I think we should do whatever we can

to... Lock him down. Well, thanks to you, we have already spent a fortune on

new marketing campaign, Rags to Swishes.

Yeah, it's a tale as old as Charles Dickens. Little Dyson, a sweet,

teenager. New Dyson is an L .A. Wave superstar, draining threes in front of

cheering fans.

Women with large chests. I mean, I want it to have a euphoria -type vibe. No

intimacy coordinators. I'll take care of this. His agent's his stepfather. I can

handle a retired math teacher from Kentucky.

He's not with Keith anymore.

He has a new agent. What? Who?

Mazel on your wedding, lady.

I love love.

Cynthia and I were a little surprised that we didn't get the invite. Oh, it's

annoyingly small venue, so family only. You get it. Absolutely. That's bullshit.

I know that space.

That ballroom holds 600 people. What do you want, Clint?

Oh, it's not about what I want.

It's about what my client deserves.

A new contract. One that reflects his value to your team. Four years.

160 million. Plus he wants his own bobblehead night, but it's got to look

than Travis's. I don't know what that is.

And he wants to change the number on the back of his jersey to like a Bible

verse or some shit. I can do the bobblehead and I can do the jersey, but

money part over my dead body.

I'm giving you first crack here.

Okay. This kid.

is very special to me. And there are a lot of other teams out there that know

exactly how special Tyson is, too. His name is Dyson. He doesn't pay me to know

his name.

He pays me to get him the best deal possible.

Four for 160.

Five for 25. You cannot be serious.

Five for 22.

You can't go down.

Go up.

Look, you and I both know this kid's going to be a superstar in this league.

if you don't pay him, I'm going to make it my life's mission to make sure that

Tyson Dyson never wears a Waves jersey ever again.

Clint, we are done here. You have my offer, and you let me know what Dyson

thinks. Oh, I will. And when he leaves your loser ass, I have just the guy to

replace him. Lou Baker in Phoenix, sweetheart of a guy. The charges were

dismissed. He's looking for a fresh start. He would thrive in LA.

Hey, how'd it go with Clint?

Oh, let's see. The $150 parking ticket I got outside of his office was the

highlight. Well, since you're on a roll with meeting super annoying men, you

have your sit -down with your least favorite season ticket holder tomorrow.

Oh, no. The toilet came from Orange County Rescheduling. I have.

Six times.

Al Fleshman spends a lot of money with the team. I think you just need to bite

the bullet and take the meeting.

No. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. No. Allie, please just take this meeting for

Come on. I have so much going on. You're so good at this stuff.

I'll owe you one.

Fine. Yes, thank God.

But I am using your office.

And I found a way to make the statue of your father tax -deductible. We just

have to posthumously ordain him as a minister.

Oh, that's amazing.

Aruna, this is why you're our accountant.

Should we get dinner sometime?

This is fun.

I already have my gay friends.

Sure. Well, let me know if you need an alternate.

Oh, one more thing. Did you write this $2 million check to Malibu Night

Treatment Center, LLC?

Ham's Rehab Center?

It's not technically a charity, so I don't know how you want to categorize

That's your signature, right? Yeah.

Yes, it is. Thank you, Aruna. I will work on that.

Hey, Aruna. Good to see you.

She's all business, huh?

I don't know.

What's up?

Allie needs a raise. She deserves it. She's asked for it a couple of times,

it's way overdue. Isla, no.

There's no money. And we still don't know where we're going to land on this

Dyson deal, and there's some unforeseen expenses. Look, we are in the red. Oh,

that's what that means.

Yes. Damn it. I just don't want to tell her no.

Look, I get it. She's like family. Which is why we should make the exception.

Isla, no. If the board finds out we are giving out executive raises in the

middle of a budget deficit, we are screwed.

Okay. I am not looking forward to this conversation.

That's some fucking bullshit.

We need to talk.

Fucking knock?

Why would you recommend that book? It's so sad.

What's this?

It is a check to your rehab with my signature on it. Where did you get that?

Aruna just asked me why I made a $2 million taxable donation to a for

company. Fucking Aruna.

Snake.

Look, I had to get out of there. I had to grease the wheels. They wouldn't let

me out. So you embezzled company funds and you forged my signature? Are you out

of your mind? Calm down.

Look, the truth is that I was going crazy in there. I was sober, but they

wouldn't let me out. I missed my wife and I missed my kids.

I even missed you fuckers. I knew Lizzie would never let me write a check that

big, so I used company funds.

I swear I was going to pay you back. Well, when were you going to tell me?

do I tell you? Someone who everyone says is so much younger and more talented

and has their shit together.

People are saying that? I promise I'm going to pay you back, but can we just

please keep this between you and me, just for the time being?

Well, I guess we can push this check into next quarter and get you on a

plan. Thank you so much. I promise I'm going to pay you back when I can.

Hey, how about that Evelyn Hugo, huh? Isn't it good? I cried so hard when she

killed herself.

She did what, though?

And I'll have three salmon nigiri, three amachi, and two spicy toro. Arigato.

And by the way, I'm a big fan. I really hope everything works out with you and

the team. Thanks, man.

Would you still be a big fan of mine if they didn't, right?

Yeah, no way, dude.

L .A. ways for life.

Are you really thinking about not playing? I don't know. I just want all

be over. I hate feeling like Isla and everyone's mad at me.

You can't let that affect your decision. This is business.

And you have value, too.

Hey. Is everything okay?

Um, no. I lost my job.

What? Dog Day After Room got shut down. The space was bought by some Indian

grocery store chain.

Oh, I'm so sorry.

Yeah. The new owners actually offered me a job, and they asked how many spices I

could name, and all I could come up with was turmeric, and they practically

laughed me out of the room.

Couldn't come up with cumin?

No, I couldn't come up with cumin. God, Sandy, I don't know what I'm going to

do. It's going to be okay, all right? Maybe this is a blessing in disguise.

How? Well, I mean, no offense, but you didn't move to L .A. to be a dog

You had other goals. You could go back to college, get a degree.

You know, I did originally move here to be an actor.

Right.

Yes, your headshot.

With defrosted tips.

You know, I was actually the stand -in for Blue Power Ranger for a few months.

They were going to give me a line, and then I hurt my back, so I... Right,

you're back.

I'm going to get back out there and start auditioning.

Oh, I've got to get an agent. You know like a ton of those guys, right? Can you

hook me up?

Uh, yes.

Technically, yes, but... Thank you, thank you. I've got to get new

Coriander. Coriander. Yeah.

I'm so excited for you.

Midlife career change.

Well, the first round didn't go so great. Do you want me to take lead on

Look, Clint and I play golf at the Riv all the time. Thanks, Cam. I've got

There he is, my homie. Oh, allergies.

Yeah, I got COVID.

Everybody shake my hand. Oh. Oh, get over it. It's 2026.

Stay over there.

Well, we have discussed things on our end, and here is our counter.

Five years at $35 million.

Hello, Clint. Are you feeling sick?

No, no.

I'm just trying to process what a dumb fucking moron you are. Whoa! Hey! That's

uncalled for, sir. You shut up, little girl. I'm not a girl. I'm a boy. A man.

This number?

is nowhere near what we're looking for. You're not serious negotiators. And

personally, I don't like any of you. Come on, Clint.

Meet us in the middle here. That's what you think this is?

You're more R -word than I thought.

And yeah, I don't say it anymore because I'm on some board.

I'm telling you, you're playing with fire.

All of you are playing with fire.

Cam. I got us a tea time 8 a .m. on Friday. I'm going to whip your ass,

You wish, motherfucker.

I'm going to smoke you. You wish. Get out of here. I love you.

Told you I should have handled that. Oh, shit. We got to code green.

Oh, God, Nez. No one can remember your color code system. Green means go, as in

go ahead and start worrying, because we got a big problem.

Poacher's in town.

I'm sorry, who's the poacher?

Magnus Seraphin.

GM of the Toronto Trappers?

Absolute shark.

Trappers have won three of the last nine championships, and he's the reason.

He's responsible for taking most of the talent up to Canada. You take your eye

off the ball for one second, and the next thing you know, your best player's

there backstage at a weekend concert eating donuts named after him from Tim

Hortons. Oh, no. Do you think he's after Dyson? The Dyson donut. It's perfect.

Bingo. Worst part is, he's not just charming.

He's hot as hell. Nobody can resist. Oh, come on.

We're hot, too.

Yeah, but he's mom and dad hot. We're just mom hot. Speak for yourself.

I'm dad hot. We have the same ugly dad. Guys, this is crazy, okay? Dyson is

under contract. The poacher cannot sign him. Well, he can't sign him, but he can

take him to the polo lounge and wine and dine him, and suddenly Dyson's no

longer holding out. He's demanding a trade to Toronto.

It's happened before.

Lewis Washington, out of Orlando.

Where was it?

Orlando Lewis in Washington.

This is bullshit. I'm not going to let the poacher take talent that I

discovered, Jackie. I want you to find out where Magnus is staying and track

every move. Whoa, whoa, whoa. What are you going to do? I'm going to talk to

Dyson. We shouldn't be engaging with him directly.

This is business.

Yes, which is why I'm going as a friend to tell him he's fucking up my business.

Said no dunks.

Can we talk a second?

Looks like you're still keeping in shape.

Oh, that's good. Should you be here? Clint says I should only be talking to

Dyson right now.

He may have said Tyson. Look, I'm sure Clint is trying to tell you that I'm the

bad guy, but you signed a deal and you're holding out before the season

starts. Tyson, if it wasn't for me, you would be playing in front of 20 people.

and still working at UPS.

So you think I should accept less than what I'm worth because I owe you one?

but this is your first big shot. I gave it to you, and that should count for

something. I was told you'd say that. Don't listen to Clint. It wasn't Clint.

I should go.

Yeah, well, you're not even supposed to be playing basketball right now.

Hey, man, my daughter got me that ball for Father's Day.

Hey, hey.

Knock, knock. Al Fleischman, a .k .a. the Flush Man, the Toilet King of Orange

County.

It's good to see you again, Al.

Allie Lee, Wave Chief of Staff. Right, right, right.

Where's Isla? Isla really wanted to be here, but she got pulled into a last

-minute issue.

Ah, and she didn't want to reschedule for the seventh time?

Please sit.

So, what can I do for you, Al? Okay, well, I'll be blunt. I want better

Well, you're already front row out. Doesn't get any better than that. Yeah,

I'm under the basket, okay? What does a billionaire got to do to sit with the A

-listers, okay?

I'm talking center court. I'm talking sitting next to the Sabrina Carpenters

the Ariana Grandes and the Olivia Rodrigos. You know, all the cool young

people should be sitting together. I'm doing this for your ratings. I can

you the minute center court seats open up, you will be getting a call. Do I

to remind you that every turd in that arena goes through a Fleischman toilet?

Even your turd, okay? I think I deserve a little bit more respect.

We do respect you, Al.

How about some VIP access?

You know, something we rarely do is let fans watch a practice.

It's the closest you'll ever get to the player. You think they'll let me

scrimmage a little?

You're spying on someone.

Are you in danger?

No, no, I'm fine. My car's in the loading zone, ready to roll. Well, be

You're still coming to dinner with my family tonight, right? Yeah, please.

Tell your brothers not to roughhouse me too much.

Oh, my God, the poacher!

Jackie Moreno, Nee Gordon.

There's two things Canadians don't like.

Rollerblade hockey and being spied on. I'm not a spy.

I'm here for breakfast.

I'll have the, uh, $45 omelet. I have a message for your family. Tell them I

always get what I want.

And now it's personal.

Also, that car of yours in the loading zone?

It's being towed. No, no, no, my good charger's in there.

Any news on the poacher?

Magnus is definitely on the prowl. Oh, Jackie needs 500 bucks to get his car

of the impound lot.

Hey, who's our contact at CAA or WME?

Uh, for sports, that's Pat Ellerman. No, not sports. The, uh, acting side. Oh,

God, no. Travis has been trying to do White Blade again. No, it's not for

Travis. It's for, uh, something personal. Well, don't tell me you're

act now. I love you. You have zero charisma. No, stop.

It's... For Charlie, OK? He lost his job, and he's trying to get back into

acting. No, Sandy.

I am not contacting Kevin Huvane so you can get your dog groomer, non -actor

boyfriend a job.

He is an actor, OK? He was the main stand -in for Blue Power Ranger. And he

almost had a line until he hurt his back. Oh, yeah.

His back.

OK. This is so unfair.

You guys do favors for your spouses all the time. Ness, we have invested in

every one of Batouin's businesses.

And I like it. How many times have we given the owner's box to Lev's practice?

And if I have to go to one more of Lizzie's galas for Cam, I'm going to

Okay? All I'm asking for is a phone number.

Fine. Here is a contact at CAA so your boyfriend can have a huge acting career.

Thank you. Thank you.

Clint. Oh, boy.

Hi, Clint.

to the chase.

Dyson just got a big offer from another team.

So either you guys match it or we're going to demand a trade. You know it's

against league rules to negotiate with other teams when Dyson is still under

contract. Okay, well then sue me. And you can take it to the Supreme Court for

all I care. I was frat brothers with Brett Kavanaugh. Delta cap for life,

I can't believe he would leave me after everything I've done for him. You didn't

say that to him, did you? No.

I mean, yeah.

Kind of. Pretty much.

Jackie, what is it?

Permission to speak as your brother and not your assistant? Yes, of course.

Okay, as someone who you also took under your wing, maybe Dyson is tired of

being thought of as a charity case. A charity case?

He's one of the best players on the team. We were about to give him an

marketing campaign.

Yeah, a rhapsody.

What's wrong with that?

The fans love it. They shortened it to rags, which basically just means an old

towel you still haven't thrown out.

Sometimes people get tired of being treated like an underdog.

You know when you've smart ideas, you can just say them.

Don't make me coke them out of you.

Really? Because I was thinking about redoing my desk area. Maybe some new

lighting, a little area rug. I wanted to have a real Nancy Meyers aesthetic. I

didn't mean now.

Hey, headed home?

Oh, I wish. Gene's doing an open mic at the Irvine Comedy Barn. He's 11th up.

Ooh, yikes.

Hey, I just wanted to say I'm sorry we couldn't do the raise thing.

Oh. Oh, I didn't tell you yet.

Shit, yeah, sorry.

It's just not really a good time.

Hi to Jean.

Thanks for coming, Jason.

Sure, but I parked out front and the signs said there's a street cleaning

tomorrow, so I do need to leave by 8 a .m. This will take less than 12 hours.

Just come in.

Okay.

Here it goes.

I've worked really hard to get to where I am. But no matter what I do, people

still treat me like the total mess I used to be. You mean like when Sean

calls you CEO?

Yes. Thank you. What I'm trying to say, Dyson, is that I've been treating you

like the D -League kid that I found and not the rising star you've become.

And I am really sorry about that.

Thank you.

So we're going to do right by you. We're going to get you paid, and no one's

going to call you rags anymore.

All I ask in return is that you take back the trade demand.

What trade demand?

Fucking quench.

Okay, you are about to be in a good mood.

The barista who always gives us free cake pops finally took us up on our

No. Actually, I don't know, but we should follow up with him. But guess who

has an agent at CAA. Are you serious?

Yeah. Oh, my God, that's incredible.

Thank you. I'm so happy.

Oh, and good news. I actually found my old headshot, and I think I can still

it. Look at you.

Your hair is so crunchy.

Maybe I can also hook you up with a new photographer.

Oh, look who it is.

Moneybag Giz.

I know you're paying for teen dinners now.

Hell no.

That was Rookie Dyson. All your youngers are on blast now.

Congrats on securing the bag.

Just moved out to Peckinorder.

Hey, Travis.

I didn't want you to hear this from anyone else, but, uh... I mean, it's a

of dating, though.

All right.

All right, then.

Shit. It's Marcus's anniversary, so let's make sure we send him some

Send them from Louisa's in Bel -Air.

I didn't get any of that.

Oh, fuck it. I'll just tell Jackie to do it. Cam!

Hey, Al Fleischman, a .k .a. the Fleshman, the Toilet King of Orange

You got a second? Listen, I would love to talk to you, Al, but me and Leroy got

a meeting we gotta get to. Uh, no, no, we don't. You can talk to your friend.

Oh, great.

No, we definitely have a meeting.

Dude, I don't have anything in this book.

Okay, we can have a meeting, because I've been running into a brick wall with

that sister of yours. I mean, what's a kid got to do to kick it center court,

baby? I would love to help you. I don't really handle the ticketing. I know, but

it's not about the money, man. I can pay, okay?

We just became an exclusive vendor to all North American Radisons, okay? And

that's a high -flow clientele. I'm talking breakfast buffets seven days a

I'm talking coffee makers in every room. I mean, we're talking crap city, man.

That sounds really great, Al. I really don't have time for that. Hey, Cam, I

want those seats.

And money is no object.

Do you understand?

You know what, Al?

You and I might be able to figure something out.

I'll call you.

Oh!

Great job closing on Dyson.

Yeah, and I was happy to see it was a declining deal that'll keep us under the

luxury tax for a couple years.

Yes.

So glad we didn't trade Dyson. He's the only one of the players that follow me

back on Instagram.

And, turns out, Clint made all that trade stuff up. Toronto was never even

Dyson. Wait a minute.

And what the hell is the poacher doing in L .A.? Oh, yeah.

Who was he here for?

I'm not going to beat around the bush, eh?

I'm offering you an opportunity to maximize your gift.

So, do we have a deal?

I'd be crazy to say no.

I didn't mean to yell at you.

There must be something in the air.

I mean you're talking about the apocalypse.
