Once the average adult...

...has gone through their first stream...

...of failed relationships,

it is only natural for them
to start looking backwards,

to wonder who could've been
the right person...

...had timing only been on their side.

Perhaps if you had only done
that one thing differently...

...or not picked that fight,

you would've saved yourself
from an abyss of bad dates.

Many are merely left guessing,

the fantasy of reconnection
never coming to fruition,

but never dying, either.

While others get that second chance...

...and are able to see for certain...

...whether timing really was the
impediment in the first place.

But none of this was so for Darby,

who by this point had managed...

...to block such fantasies
out of her head entirely.

Instead, she had accidentally
distracted herself...

...with the simple act of living her life.

I'm gonna place some more
of these pieces.

What?
No, actually, you're not.

It's Thanksgiving.
You gotta get out of here.

I'm just gonna get a jump start on it.

Come on, Darbs,
if you don't have plans,

come to our place.
- I have plans.

I'm supposed to do, like,

a Friendsgiving thing in Jersey.

Okay, well, that's perfect.

You know,
the whole point of Thanksgiving...

...is to have a great time with your friends...

...or a fucking awful time with your family.

Very true.
- Yeah.

Hi.

Jim.
- Darby, my God.

Hi.

I'm so glad you actually came.

Of course.
Happy, um,

wait, no, what did you call it
in the email, Jims-giving?

Thanks-Jiming.

Feels like it should be Jims-giving.

Yeah, well, maybe.

But it is Thanks-Jiming,

so let's all just stick to that, right?

Darby, Laurel.
Laurel, Darby.

So glad to finally meet you.
I've heard so much about you.

You too.

Did you get a seasonal autumnal cocktail?

Wow, thank you.

Um, I brought these.
- Perfect.

Fantastic. Thank you.
- Thank you so much.

I'm gonna go check on the turkey.

No, you don't have to.

T-the meat thermometer is very precise.

Like, I researched all the best ones...

...before pulling the trigger.

It has Bluetooth.

You're so cute, baby,
but I'm gonna check it anyway.

Okay.
- Okay?

She seems nice.
- Yeah. Yeah.

I don't think it's serious.

Okay.

I don't know,
maybe it's serious.

I'm not sure.
- All good, all good.

It's weird, right?

Like having Thanksgiving
without all of our people?

Yeah. Yeah.

Have you, um--have you heard
from her at all?

Not directly, but

I mean, I heard she's in rehab.

Yeah.

Wow. Good, good.
- Yeah.

I know, I really want to call her, but, um.

I don't know if I'm ready and, you know.

I want to make sure she's settled,

in a better place,
and all that, you know?

Right.
That's smart.

Jim, I can't figure out the thermometer.

It won't stop beeping.

I think Jim said you have
to use the app or something.

Well, I'm gonna go help
and you please help yourself...

...to any of these adult-ass hors d'oeuvres.

Will do.

Well, well, well.

Well, well, well.

I,
I didn't know you were coming.

I didn't know you were coming.

Yeah, Jim invited me.

Same.
- Yeah.

That is very obvious.

So what did you bring
to this glorious feast?

Um, that one.

These yams?
- Yep.

Interesting, 'cause
I'm pretty sure I made those.

Really?
- Yeah.

My God.
We made the same dish.

Wow.

That is crazy.
- Yeah, it is.

Identical.
No, I, um--...

...the shitty store-bought ones are mine.

Yeah.

Oof.
- Don't yam-shame me.

No, I'm--...

I'm already in a very vulnerable place.

They look beautiful.
- Thank you.

They're fantastic.

Everyone, everyone.

Um, please gather at the table.

The fuck is up with the bell?

Like a Pavlovian experiment.

Um, we're gonna sit down here.

I just got back
from teaching English in Korea.

I was saving up some money,
you know, seeing some family.

That's amazing.
- Yeah.

Yeah, what about you?

Um, well, I--

I finally conned my way
into a pretty fucking cool job.

Nice.

Um, I got married and I got divorced.

Holy shit.
But--

My God,
we've moved on from the bell.

It's now glassware.

So I thought it could be cool
if we all just went around...

...and said something
we're grateful for this year.

Who wants to start us off?
- I-I'll go.

Um,

honestly,
I'm just really grateful...

...to be at this table right now.

we are living
in some really fucked-up times...

...and I'm trying to focus more
on moments and spaces...

...where I see and feel love and generosity...

...passing between people.

Because,
maybe I'm idealistic,

but I-I really do believe that
if we can open ourselves up...

...just a little more to empathy and hope,

the world will change.

So thank you everyone...

...for bringing that spirit into this home,

and thank you, Laurel and Jim,

for hosting an absolutely
gorgeous Thanksgiv--

Thanks-Jiming.

Cheers.

Thanks-Jiming.

Um, all right.

it's gonna be tough to follow that.

but, I guess I'll give it a try.

That was really embarrassing for you.

Thank you.

I rehearsed it for hours last night.

Like,
I'm an American citizen, right?

And if-- if I don't give a fuck about...

...protecting our human rights
and our democracy,

then how the fuck can I expect
anybody else to, you know?

Totally, yeah.

You should run for office or something.

You're like Obama.
It's awesome.

Yeah, I thought about it.
- Yeah?

Want some more
of this Thanksgiving doob?

Then I'd have to stop smoking weed, so.

Yeah.
- Thank you.

I think there's a last hit here,

if you want it.
- Yeah.

If I had to sum up what I've
learned in the last decade?

It's that I don't know anything.

Yeah, no.

I mean, but, you, like,
know some things, obviously.

Yeah, sure, but...

...even knowledge is subject...

...to the context of a certain moment.

You know what I realized is, like.

I should stop worrying about, like,

people thinking about
stupid shit that I say...

'cause they're all so worried...

...about thinking about
the stupid shit that they say.

I am paraphrasing--

But--...

I haven't been this high
since I had a panic attack...

...in the Times Square Olive Garden.

Shit.

You don't seem that high,
though.

Yeah, no, I always eat pie
straight out of the tin,

so we're good.

We're good.

Okay.

I am so sorry, but I need
to unbuckle my pants--...

Or unbuckle my belt
and unbutton my pants.

And it is not a move.

No, I'm jealous that
you have pants to unbutton.

My gosh.

You're more beautiful than I remember.

Really?
- Yeah.

Can I tell you something crazy?

Yeah.

Sometimes

I wonder what would've happened
if I hadn't had to leave.

Yeah.

I mean, you would've saved us
several years...

...of potential exposure to herpes.

You didn't have it back then?

What the fuck was I thinking?
- I don't know.

Is that okay?

Yeah.

Do you want to stay over?

I do.
- Okay.

What, what?

What happened?

I'm so full.

As in, like, too full?

Maybe.

Shit.

That's okay.
I am, too.

This is tragic.

We're finally reunited
and we're too full to fuck.

Yeah.

It's a classic TFTF situation
we got on our hands, you know?

Come on.
We're better than this.

Yeah, no, you're right.
Let's do it.

We can do anything.
- Were we go. Let's do it.

Second wind, here we go.
Okay.

Turkey, weed,

couple orgasms.

I think I might sleep for three days.

Cool.

I'll see you Sunday.

Yeah, I'll see you Sunday.

You're never gonna guess
who just left my apartment.

Augie.

Well, that's a nice holiday surprise.

Yeah, I know.

It was like literally no time had passed.

That's not always a good thing, you know?

What does that mean?

I'm just saying if the milk is sour,

you don't put it back in the fridge.

You just throw it out.

Nothing was ever sour.

Okay, I stand corrected.

So tell me everything.

Darby and Augie wasted no time...

...getting back together.

Augie felt like an old pair of jeans,

a welcome reminder of some
other version of herself.

Hang on.

Hey, merry Christmas, man.

Merry Christmas to you,
young man.

I respect what you're doing.
How'd you get into this?

Figure skating's one of those...

...bucket list things of mine, you know?

What?
- Yeah.

Isn't that one of those things...

...you're supposed to start
when you're, like, two?

Okay.

Well, I bet I'd be amazing.

Well, let's get down there.
No time to waste.

I didn't warm up today, so I
might pull something, you know?

He should be pulling up here.

Crap.

Never mind.
Sorry. Tree.

It's like 20 degrees out here.

Hey, for Augie, right?
- Great, thank you.

Come on, dude!

Hey.
For Darby, right?

Yup.
- Great.

Yeah.

Hi.

Wait. Dude!
- Dude.

Grab that end.
It's only ten blocks.

It's freezing.
- It's only ten blocks.

I believe in you.
- God.

Hyup, hyup!

I love this!

This is a good assembly line we've set up.

Do you have any memories of doing this?

Put it in your beard.
- Thank you.

We should do it.
- We should get a puzzle!

Yes!

Three, two, one.

New York City Transit.

What?

I had so many questions immediately.

It's like fiber.

I think the glitter is like Metamucil.

You did it.

I'm surprised.

Aww.

Merry Christmas.
- Merry Christmas.

Hey, come here.

Good, you're here.

Lola wants us to come
and help her set up early.

Babe, babe, babe.

Look what I found
on the subway on the way here.

My God.
- Yeah.

Aww.

Is it okay?
- I think so.

Some asshole left him
on the subway to die...

...and it was just about
to get kicked on the tracks...

...in front of the R train.

No.
Jesus.

But Daddy's here.
- Hi.

Wolfgang, this is Mommy.

You named him?
Like, we're gonna keep it?

Well, I can't really have
pets in my apartment...

...so I was kind of hoping
he could stay here?

I can't have pets in my apartment.

No, I can't.

Well, your landlord's never here, right?

That's true.

I'm not sure that's
a very persuasive argument.

Well, I couldn't just
leave him on the subway,

and I can't bear to take him
to the humane society.

I just have to see if I have
any friends in the market...

...for a stupidly adorable animal...

...who gives out free kisses all the time.

Okay,
we'll figure it out.

Just--there's some old blankets
under the sink.

You can make him a little bed
or something,

but please hurry 'cause we need to go.

Okay, okay, okay.

Thank you, thank you.
- We're late.

Wolfgang,
I'll show you the digs, man.

This artist makes everything out of waste...

...he finds in the ocean.

He makes his own plastic-free adhesive...

...to bond the materials together.

Well, isn't this...

...just gonna end up back
in the water table anyway?

What do you mean?

Like sure,
he's picked up some trash,

but eventually it'll just be trash again.

Well, it's fine art.
- No, for sure.

So the point is to sell it.
- Right.

Yeah, and we're not gonna throw
it in the Atlantic next week.

Yeah, right,

it's just salvaging some old
newspapers and nylon rope...

...seems like it's trying
to sell us on the idea...

...that climate change is our fault.

When in actuality,
just 100 companies...

...are responsible for more than
70% of global carbon emissions.

Right.
So it's a complicated issue--...

Well, I just don't think...

...we should fool ourselves
into thinking that this one guy...

...who made this sculpture out of garbage...

...is solving the actual problem,
which is corporate greed.

I know, it's wild.

There's actually a Shapiro
that I really want to show you.

Cool. Let's--...

Wolfgang.

Hey, buddy.

Wolfgang likes his new bed.

You're mad.
I know you're mad.

No.

I just...

...wish you hadn't said a lot
of that stuff to Lola...

...about the art and the trash
and climate change.

We were having a dialogue.
I was engaging with the art.

It came off a little insulting...

...and I still answer to her.

I'm really sorry, Darby.
I--...

...honestly, I did not mean
to come off that way.

It just--the piece was about climate change.

Yeah.
- Which is an issue...

...that I am very passionate about.

I know, I know,
and I love that.

I just--I feel like context matters...

...and, you know,
there's a time and place for it...

...and it was my holiday work party.

Yeah, but Darby,

n-no one is gonna blame you
for my actions.

And if they do, fuck 'em.

Well, no.
Not--no.

Not fuck them, because...

...people's feelings are important, right?

Okay--

I hear you.

I just think it's a difference of opinion.

Yeah.

And I mean,

we don't have to see eye-to-eye
on everything, right?

It's fucking boring.

No, I mean,
no, you're right.

We're both right.
- Yeah, I love being right.

Well, me too.
- Yeah, no.

You're great at being right.

He's helpful and sweet.
He's wonderful.

I mean, we're different,
but that's kind of cool.

You know,
I always thought I had to be...

...with my, like,
male counterpart,

but I have to accept him for who he is...

...and I'm sure there's stuff
about me that drives him crazy.

May I make an observation?

You may.

You sound a little like...

...you're trying to convince yourself.

That doesn't feel like an observation.

It kind of feels like a judgment.

Could you just be supportive?

Yes, I can.

I support you and I love you
and I can't wait to meet him.

Mom, thank you.

So listen, honey.

I'm at the doctor with Grandma Janet.

What do you know about diverticulitis?

Hey, where's that smell coming from?

Shit.

Shit!
- Shit!

Do you have a fire extinguisher?

Um, I don't know.
I don't think so.

You really should have a fire extinguisher!

Dude, really? Right now?
- Okay.

Jesus!

Okay.
- Shit!

Okay, um, um, hang on!
- Shit.

Fuck.

Dude.

My God. Are you okay?
- Yeah.

Fuck. Nice work.
- Thank you.

My God.
- Jesus.

What the fuck happened?
- I have no idea.

My God.
My God, Wolfgang.

Hey, bud.
- My God.

He must've chewed through
the fucking wires.

That's crazy.

Hey, we're safe, though,
right?

Yeah, no.

We are okay.
- It's--yeah.

Okay.

Fuckin' thrilling.

Okay.
- Okay.

Man.

Alone with her thoughts...

...in the darkness of a spin class.

Darby started to wonder.

If Augie felt like an old pair of jeans,

were they too snug?

If she was honest with herself,

the zipper didn't quite
come all the way up...

...and they were starting to cut off...

...the circulation to her brain.

Okay, 6:30!

Put another turn on that wheel.

I need you to ride for whatever
it is that's holding you back.

My God.
We had to remove a whole wall.

No.

There was, like, a leak
my aunt didn't know about.

Yeah, pretty exciting stuff.

So what's up?

You know, I think you're
the first person in my life...

...to ever ask me for advice.

Um, right.

Okay.

I...

I think I might break up with Augie.

I might be overreacting.
I don't know.

Whoa, shit.
- Yeah.

Okay.
- Yeah.

I just...

I find him really fucking
annoying right now.

No, I mean, I totally love the guy, but I get it.

W-what is it?

Is he doing his, like,
holier-than-thou thing?

Y-yeah. Yeah.

Which, obviously, like, his
heart is in the right place,

but I don't know.

He does this thing, like,

'Let's throw caution to the wind, come on.'

Yeah.

And I'm not always down, man.

I know, and then
that makes you feel uptight.

Exactly, yes.

No, I know, I know,
I know, I know, I know.

Sara used to do this to me--...

...or being with Sara used to do that to me.

I don't know,
maybe you and Augie just, like,

maybe you guys want different lives.

Right, um--

Do you smell something weird?

No, I don't.
- Okay, sorry.

Look, if Augie isn't bringing
out the best in you,

it's possible you aren't
bringing out the best in him.

Which is fine, I mean,

that doesn't make either of you
bad people, like--...

Yeah.

It's okay to leave.

If I'm honest with myself.

I don't think I made Sara all that happy.

Right.
- You know?

That's very good.
That's very wise.

Shit.
That was good advice?

Yeah, it was good.
It was excellent advice.

Top notch.
- Thanks.

I'm sorry, you don't--...

...you don't smell something weird?

You mean this?

I feel like I'm gonna be sick.

That's insane, dude.
- Wait.

Holy shit.
Are you pregnant?

No, obviously not.

I mean, isn't that a thing,
though, like smells?

My cousin had that.
- Yes.

I'm pretty sure she couldn't
even go in the meat aisle.

Jim, this is not funny.

Okay, I'm sure you're fine.
- Yeah.

You guys are-- you're careful, right?

Yes.

Obviously. God.

Yeah, I think I better finish your beer.

Yeah, sorry for all the texts.

I, um, I wasn't sure if
I was in the right place, so.

Yeah, I actually didn't get any of them.

I just have no reception down here.

So what'd you want to talk about?

Um, do you want to go
in your room or something?

'cause of Sid?

No, he's got his headphones on.
It's--...

Yeah, yeah, yeah, sure.
Of course.

Okay.

'Scuse us.
Looking good, man.

This is cozy.
- Yeah, it's cool, right?

Are you hungry?

Shavaughn and Edgar
are making moussaka.

No, I'm good, I'm good.
- Okay.

So what's up?

Um...

I have good news and bad news.
- Okay.

Um, what do you want first?

Let's start with the bad.

Right, yes.
Okay.

So, um, lately I feel like...

...things just haven't really felt right.

Buddy?
- Buddy!

Hey, man.

I'm sorry.
- All good, my man.

This is Darby.
- Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you.
- Yeah.

Hey, moussaka night.
- Moussaka night!

Not a lot of privacy in this joint?

Yeah, railroad apartment.

Anyway, sorry.

You were--you were saying?

Yeah, no, just--yeah.

Just that I think maybe...

...you and I are...

...just more different than we thought.

And, um...

...this isn't really working
the way that we want it to.

You know?

Wow.

Okay, that, um...

I am...

...actually really glad you said something,

'cause I've been wanting
to say something to you.

I just really had no idea--
- Wait, really?

How to bring it up.
- Like, actu--...

What?
- So you're dumping me?

No, I-- I thought you were dumping me.

Are you-- No,
I--I--yes, I am.

You are breaking up with me?

I am breaking up with you.
- Yes?

'Cause I don't want to stay together...

...and then up fucking hating each other.

Yes. 10, 15 years,
you know what I mean?

Absolutely not.

Because I love who you are...

...and if you want to go live
in a tiny house on a mountain.

I want that for you.

And if you want to be in bed
every Friday night by 9:00...

...for the rest of your life...
- I really do.

Let it be so.
- I really do.

You took this very well and
I'm feeling really rejected.

No, I--come on. I'm taking--
I'm in shock right now.

You could pretend to be sad.

I am torn up inside right now.

You don't know how much this--...

I can tell. I can tell.

Yeah.

Okay.

So that, bad news wasn't so bad after all.

What's the good news?
