[film projector running]

[dramatic music]

[dramatic music]

[door creaking]

- Oh, God!

You scared me.

What's wrong, sweetie?

Bad dream?

- I can't breathe.

- Are you sick?

- There's smoke in my room.

- What?

[smoke detector beeping]

[fire roaring]

I need you to run to
Miss Thompson's house.

Okay?

I'll find Daddy Jack
and meet you there.

- No.

Come with me.

- I'll be right behind you.

I promise.

Now run!

[pop music]

- I'm sorry.

- I'm so sorry.

Are you okay?
- Yeah, I'm sorry.

- Are you sure?
- Yeah.

Yeah, thank you.

- I'm so sorry.

- It's okay.

- Oh my, God.

No, thank you.

- Hi.

Mrs. Dobson is already prepped

and waiting for you in room two.

- You are the best.

Thanks, D.

[hip hop music]

Girls, don't let
it become a habit

or I'm telling the boss.

- That bitch doesn't scare me.

- Good morning, Mrs. Dobson.

[indistinct chatter]

Deanna can help set you up
with your next appointment.

- My pleasure.

What day were you looking?

- What do you think?
His name's Aaron.

- He's cute.

- Right?

- Very cute.

And a doctor.

- But, uh, wait.

What about the guy you met
on the site two weeks ago?

Justin?

I thought you were
giving him a chance.

- Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Doesn't mean I can't
still window shop.

And besides this
one isn't for me.

Aaron's a match based off a
profile I created for you.

- What?

- Well if the mountain
won't come to Mohammad.

- Lauren, that is
called identity theft.

Take that down.

- No.

That is called being
your best friend.

And you're gonna
thank me someday

when you're celebrating your
50th wedding anniversary.

- Oh, Mr. Vera.

Hi, so good to see you again.

Right this way.

We're gonna talk about that.

- [Lauren] We'll be waiting.

- Let me see.

[melancholy music]

[ambulance sirens wailing]

- No!

Mommy.

No!

- Well thank you very
much for coming in.

Make sure you drink
plenty of water tonight.

Yeah.

Have a good day.

Man.

Has that girl been
sitting out there all day?

- Yeah.

Pretty much.

- Hey.

Do you remember me?

The crazy woman who
crashed into you earlier

and then just ran off.

I'm really sorry again
about that by the way.

- Oh, that's okay.

It sounded like you
were late for something.

- I'm Aya.

- Taryn.

- Nice to officially
meet you, Taryn.

Do you mind if I join you?

- No, not at all.

Please.

- Great.

Couldn't help but notice

that you've been
sitting out here all day

with your suitcases.

I just wanted to make
sure that you're okay.

Are you waiting for someone?

- I just flew out to LA
to surprise my boyfriend.

He and I met back in New York.

This is him actually.

Steve.

- [Aya] Okay, cute.

- Yeah, um.

We've been doing the
long distance thing.

- Uh, by surprise him
I'm assuming you mean

he didn't know that you
were coming out here?

- No.

But I texted him and told
him that I was in LA.

But, uh, I went to
his house this morning

and the address
that I have for him

doesn't seem to be right.

And of course I
left him a message.

He hasn't gotten back to me yet.

But I'm sure he will.

- Yeah, I'm sure he will too.

But since it's been
such a long day

for both of us

would you wanna grab some food?

My treat.

- Really?

- Yeah.

So how did you meet Steve?

- He was a guest at the
hotel that I worked at.

And I quit my job
to come out here.

But, yeah he was in
town for some business.

And he just kept
flirting with me.

And sending me flowers.

And things like that.

- That's so sweet.

How long have you
been a concierge?

- [Taryn] About five years.
- Oh, do you like it?

- Yeah, I love it.
I love to help people.

- Well that is something
you and I have in common.

That's not the only
thing we have in common.

We're sisters.

Your necklace.

I'm also Omega Nu.

- You are?

- I was in the UCLA chapter.

You must have been in New York?

- Yeah, NYU.

- What a small world.

I'm an only child

so I didn't have
that sibling bond

that I really
desperately wanted.

Joining a sorority was
the next best thing.

- God, I can totally relate.

- Are you an only child too?

- Yeah.

I mean, I think so.

I actually grew up in
the foster care system.

So I don't really know a whole
lot about my real parents.

Or if they ever had
any other children.

I was actually lucky
enough to find that bond

with one of foster moms.

Until she died.

Anyway.

The point is

I can relate.

- Well it must be fate.

Oh, thank you.

So, what are your
plans for tonight?

- I don't know.

I wasn't really planning on

having to find a
hotel to stay at.

I already spent most of my money

on my plane ticket out here

and my rental car.

But

do you know of any
cheap motels near by

that I could stay at?

- I actually have a better idea.

[soft rock music]

- Wow.

Your home is beautiful.

- Thank you.
But it's not mine.

It's my Aunt's.

She lets me rent it out at
the family discount though.

Plus I have a roommate
who pitches in

which makes it very affordable.

Speaking of

let me show you Vicky's room.

- Awesome.

Are you sure your
roommate won't mind?

I mean I don't want to intrude.

- Not at all.

I already texted her.

She's on a trip the next two
weeks with her boyfriend.

So until then you are
welcome to stay here

and get your bearings.

God, I am so glad
you ran into me.

- Yeah.

- Seriously thank you.

- Of course.

Anything for a sister.

Alright.

Make yourself at home.

- I'm afraid there's
not much else I can do.

I'm happy to reschedule you
for later this afternoon.

- No.

No, that's completely
unacceptable.

I'm not leaving here
until I get my services.

Oh, thank God, finally.

Someone who can
actually help me.

- Is there a problem,
Miss Cunningham?

- Well, the incompetence
of your workers for one.

I was a tiny bit late for
my appointment this morning

and your help here is
refusing to accommodate me.

- She was two hours late.

And unfortunately we just
don't have any openings

until later in the afternoon
for everything she wants done.

- I can't come back
later this afternoon

because I'm hosting a
very important luncheon.

- I see.

Well

I'm happy to squeeze you in
for at least your facial.

- No, I want all my treatments!

This is ridiculous.

Why don't you just bump
one of your other clients?

- Because that wouldn't be fair.

- Life's not fair.

Look at the food chain.

Some of us simply rank
higher than others.

- That may be.

But that's not how I
choose to do business.

I treat all of my
clients equally.

I'm sorry.

- Well, you are going
to regret that choice.

Let's see how many of your
precious clients you have left

after I start
badmouthing this place.

- Aya, I'm so sorry.

- No, you don't have
anything to apologize for.

By the way, this is Taryn.

She's a sorority sister of mine.

- No way, seriously?

- Yeah, different chapters

and different graduating
classes obviously.

But anyway, Taryn is new to LA

so I am showing her the ropes.

This is Deanna.

- Otherwise known as the help.

- Don't listen to her.

You are the glue that keeps
the salon from falling apart.

I'm serious I would be
completely lost without you.

- Thanks.

[phone ringing]

- Hey, that lady can't
really hurt your business

can she?

- Doesn't matter.

I'd honestly rather
lose a few clients

than my integrity.

Bullies like her only have
power when people let them.

Come on.

I'll show you around.

So we are a fully
functioning salon

which means that
we do everything.

Massages.
Blow outs.

Skin care, you name it.

- Oh.

And you know how
to do all of that?

- Yeah, took me a little while

but I've been doing
this for over 10 years.

- Wow.

- Yeah, the place needs
a little bit of work

but it's coming along.

- Are you kidding?
It's amazing.

- I heard the word amazing.

Someone must be
talking about me.

- Just the voices in your head.

- Don't listen to her.

Hi.

I'm Lauren.

You must be the sorority sister
Aya was telling me about.

- Yeah, I'm Taryn.

It's nice to meet you.

- You too.

And hey, I'm really sorry
about your boyfriend

ghosting you like that.

But, you know what they say

sisters before misters.

Right?

[Lauren laughs]

- Uh, Taryn.

Have you ever had a facial?

- No, actually I haven't.

It's always been a luxury
that I couldn't really afford.

- Well today is your lucky day.

Consider it your welcome to LA.

- Really?

Thank you.

- Of course.

Come on back.

This way.

[tires screeching]

[car horn blasting]

[suspenseful music]

- Why couldn't it be more?

Okay.

Well I'm going to be
looking forward to it then.

Oh no.

Uh-huh.

I don't think so.

I know.

Well totally.

Well that all sounds good to me.

Yeah.

Sure.

[engine turning over]

That's your favorite thing.

[dramatic music]

Okay.

That sounds good.

I'll give you a call.

Bye.

[phone dings]

[gasps]

[screaming]

[horn blaring]

- What's all this?

It smells amazing.

- Well, as a way
to say thank you

for all of your kindness.

I thought I would surprise you

with a home-cooked meal.

- You didn't have to do that.

- Oh, please.
It was the least I could do.

I hope you like Italian.

- I love Italian.

But I already have dinner plans.

It's a date.

Lauren has been hounding me

about this dating
website forever

and I figured I would
finally give it a try.

- Well that sounds fun.

- I'm so sorry.

If I had known that you were
making this amazing meal.

- Oh my gosh.

No, please.

Don't even worry about it.

I mean this will
make great leftovers.

Really.

I think it's great that
you're taking Lauren's advice.

- I mainly did it
to shut her up.

But this guy does
seem like a catch.

At least on his dating profile.

- Well then what are you doing

wasting your time standing
here talking to me?

All of this food will be
here when you get back.

Really, go get ready.

Go, go, go, go, go.

- Okay, okay.

[suspenseful music]

[phone beeps]

- Can't wait to meet you.

Good bye.

Sorry Aaron.

Wow!

- Too much?

I'm a little rusty at this.

- No, it's perfect.

In fact, what size are you?

I might have to steal that.

- Okay, I'm off.

Wish me luck.

- Oh, trust me.

You won't even need it.

- Oh, why, thank you.

Oh.

And feel free to borrow whatever
you want from my closet.

That's what sisters are for.

See ya.

- Bye.

- [Man] Buy you a drink?

- Thanks but I'm
waiting for someone.

[jazz music]

[dramatic music]

[jazz music]

Excuse me.
Get the check please.

Thank you.

- Hey, what are you
doing home so early?

- Uh.

Pour me a glass of that.

A big one.

Go take these shoes off.

[laughing]

I can't believe I was
stood up by someone

I didn't even really wanna
meet in the first place.

I think I have officially
hit rock bottom

when it comes to dating.

- No.

Rock bottom is when
you give up your home

and your job

and you fly completely
across the country

to be with a guy

just to have him no show.

- To hell with men.

Like Lauren says

sisters before misters.

Seriously you
shouldn't feel bad.

As you can see you're
clearly not the only one.

Guys leave women hanging

even in their 30s.

- You know that foster
mom that I told you about

the night that we first met?

Her name was Sarah.

And

she was

my favorite.

Because

when I was with her

I never felt

like I was a foster kid.

I really felt like I
was actually her's.

You know like we were

really a family.

That is how

pure and unconditional
her love was.

- That's beautiful.

She sounds amazing.

- She was.

[dramatic music]

But

unfortunately

that unconditional love was also

wasted on the wrong guy.

He was an angry drunk.

I saw him

hurt her

more times than I would
even like to count.

- Did he hurt you too?

- He tried to.

Once.

But I mean that's actually what

gave Sarah the courage
to stand up to him.

And to tell him that
she was leaving him.

- Did she?

- No.

She never got the chance.

That night there was

a house fire.

Sarah

managed to get me out in time.

But she saved my life.

But

then she made the mistake of

going back to look for Jack.

That was the last time
I ever saw her alive.

The cops said that the fire was

started by some spilled alcohol

and a cigarette that
had fallen into it.

But

I knew better.

- What do you mean?

- Jack used to

threaten Sarah

that he would

kill her.

And in the end

he kept his word.

- God, I am so sorry

you had to go through that.

- I wouldn't change
my time with Sarah for

all of the money in the world.

Well, I hope you saved
room for dessert.

- I hope Aya's enjoying her
meal a lot better than ours.

- Yeah, I hope that's not the
only thing she's enjoying.

- You're terrible.

- What?

I'm just being honest.

- Socialite Liz Cunningham

was killed earlier
this afternoon

in a car accident

that appears to have been
caused by distracted driving.

- Come look at this.

Come here.

- Where eyewitnesses
say Miss Cunningham

narrowly missed
colliding with a SUV

before losing control
of her vehicle

and colliding into a tree.

Authorities found her
cellphone on her lap

along with a half written text

that had yet to be sent.

Miss Cunningham died on impact.

She was the only
person in the vehicle.

- Oh my God.

That's awful.

- Yeah, seriously.

Karma's a bitch.

[laughing]

- You know.

My mom gave me some really
good advice early on.

She told me that

no matter how bad the situation

some good always
comes out of it.

You should look at this thing
with Steve the same way.

Maybe he's not the reason you
were meant to come out here.

- I hear what you're saying

but

I don't know.

I'm just not

ready to give up
on Steve quite yet.

You know?

I mean maybe he got cold feet.

Moving in together
is a huge step.

Maybe he just needs some time.

- It's all about
adjusting your outlook.

For example

I had to buy a pre-owned salon

much smaller than what I wanted

because it was
all I could afford

but the shop next
store is closing

and I've spoken
with the landlord

and he's agreed to
let me break through

and expand the salon.

- Oh my God.

- I have to qualify
for a loan first

and I've already jumped
through a million hoops

and done some serious
belt tightening.

I should know in
the next few weeks.

In a perfect world

I would love
nothing more than to

tear the whole thing down

and start from scratch.

But we don't live
in a perfect world

so I've had to adjust my outlook

and do the next best thing.

I'm going to be paying
for those glasses of wine

all day today.

- Why don't you just
take the day off

and we can do brunch?

- I would love to but

the spa kinda falls
apart without me.

At least that's what
I like to think.

- Bye.

- Bye.

[dramatic music]

[phone ringing]

- Nope.

Hi, it's Steve.
Sorry I missed ya.

Leave a message and
I'll call you back.

- Hey, it's me again.

I don't know if

there's a problem
with your phone or

if you're mad at me for
surprising you or what.

But

give me a call back.

Okay?

I love you.

[suspenseful music]

- [Aya] What if you
tried switching it

from recurring to individual?

- I tried.

It won't let me.

- Hi.

- Oh, hey.
What are you doing here?

- I thought I
would just swing by

and bring you
ladies some coffee.

What are you guys working on?

You look stressed.

- Well, we're trying
to help Deanna

fix this glitch in our system

that keeps messing with
our bookings and auto pays.

- Oh.

You know what.

Let me take a look at it.

Yeah.

This is the exact system that
we used to use at the hotel.

What are you trying to do?

- Okay.

So I'm trying to take the
invoices and move them.
- Hi.

- Hi.

- I hate to break it to you

but your sister is a thief.

- What?

- She's wearing the
shirt I bought you

for your birthday last year.

- So she is.

But she didn't steal it.

I said that she could
borrow my clothes.

I wanted her to feel at home.

- Okay.

Don't you think she's
feeling a little too at home?

I mean she keeps making
excuses to show up here.

- She doesn't know anybody else?

- Yeah, I don't know.

There's just

something about her that
rubs me the wrong way.

Don't give me that look, okay?

Obviously this Steve guy
bailed on her for a reason.

- Well.

You and I have been around
the block enough times

to know he's probably just

stringing her along so
that he has something warm

to come home to on his
business trips to New York.

I mean hell, he
could even be married

or living a double life.

- You know

I know, okay?

But how long is
it gonna take her

to realize that
her Prince Charming

is nothing more than a frog?

- I don't know.

I just

I don't have the
heart to tell her.

- Oh my God!

You're a lifesaver!

You guys, she fixed it.

She's like a Rain
Man with this system.

You gotta check it out.

- Oh my God!

That's perfect.

Thank you.

- Of course.

- [Aya] Wow.
It's like kismet.

- Yes, that would be amazing.

Uh-huh.

Yeah me too.

You know I'm so glad you called.

I would love to do that.

Okay, just let me know when.

I know right?

Okay, well, hey,
Aya just got home.

So I will let you talk to her.

Okay.

Okay you too.

It's your mom.

- Mom?

- Hey sweetheart.

How was your day?

- It was fine.

- Well your houseguest
Taryn's a total sweetheart.

- Yeah she is.

But uh

I'm a little confused.

Why were you talking to her?

- Well, you know how I
hate to bother you at work

on the cell phone so

I thought I'd call
the house phone

leave a message there
about your Dad's birthday

since it's coming up.

And she answered the phone.

I was pleasantly surprised.

We've been talking for

I don't know maybe an hour?

- Really?

About what?

- Well she wanted to know

more about the family

and about you.

You know what you
were like as a kid.

What your favorite flowers were.

Things like that.

So

next month

for your dad's birthday.

You're still planning
on coming out?

- Yeah, of course.

I'll be there.

- Great.

'Cause I have a terrific
idea for a party.

- Great.

Okay.

Well I'll call you tomorrow.

- Okay.

I love you.
- Love you too.

Bye.

[suspenseful music]

[ambulance sirens wailing]

- [Deanna] Thank you.

They're beautiful.

- I hope you don't
mind me tagging along.

But I made you cookies.

- Oh, you're a godsend.

You have no idea how much
the food in this place sucks.

- How are you feeling?

- Like I got hit by a car.

You just missed the police.

They came to take my statement.

- Oh good.

Hopefully they can
catch this jerk.

- Oh, I doubt it.

I really don't
remember anything.

- Well you must have
gotten a look at the guy.

- No.

So dark.
And it happened so fast.

I do have bad news though.

It was a complete break.

The doctor said I'm gonna
be laid up for a few weeks.

And then I'm gonna have
to do physical therapy.

I'm not gonna be able to
work for at least a month.

- Don't even worry about that.

After everything
you've been through.

- I know.

But I know how swamped you are.

I feel so bad
leaving you hanging.

- I will figure something out.

Don't you worry, okay?

You just focus on
getting better.

- I have an idea.

What if Taryn fills in for me?

- What?

- Yeah.

You already know the
system better than me.

We all saw that firsthand.

It's perfect.

You wouldn't have to waste
your time training someone new.

- That's actually
not a bad idea.

- I don't know.

I wouldn't feel right
taking your job like that.

- Nonsense.

It's just until I
get back on my feet.

You'd be doing me a favor.

- Yeah, you'd kinda be
doing both of us a favor.

I mean plus you could
make some extra money

while you're still figuring out

what you want to do out here so.

- Well.

I mean when you
put it like that.

- Okay.

- [Deanna] Great, it's settled.

Cookie.

- Oh, finally.

Thank you.

- Thanks.

- These look good.

- Okay I'm here.

What's so important that I had
to come in 20 minutes early.

- Close that.

- Since when did you
turn into Annie Oakley?

- Since one of my employees
was mugged locking up my salon.

- You can't blame yourself
for what happened to Deanna.

- I get it.

But

we need to take precautions

to make sure that that
doesn't happen again.

- Yeah I guess.

I just

I don't know

guns creep me out.

- Well that's why I
don't want to tell

any of the other girls.

Yeah, I don't wanna scare them.

So I figured this could just
stay between you and me.

I mean there's usually
one of us here so.

[intense music]

Now you know.

- Hey.

Your 3:30 is all checked
in and ready for you.

- Oh great.

Thank you.

Patricia Jackson.

Hi.

I'm Susan.

I'll be your massage therapist.

- Hey.

What's with the new schedule?

- I streamlined it.

This one allows for more
appointments and less down time.

And I also modified
the client profiles.

- Did you ask Aya first?

- No I

I actually wanted
to surprise her.

- Well maybe you should stop
trying to surprise people.

'Cause sometimes you end up

giving someone something
they don't want.

- I don't really understand.

Is there a problem
with the new schedule?

- No.

But there is a
problem with you just

taking it upon
yourself like that.

- God.
I am so sorry.

I was really just
trying to help.

I mean Aya told me that

she's had to do
some belt tightening

so that she could hopefully
qualify for her loan.

I just wanted to help make
things run more efficiently.

Aya has just been so kind to me.

- Yeah, um.

Okay.

Look if you're gonna work here

you have to know
that Aya is super OCD

with how things are
run around here.

I mean she doesn't want
anything being disrupted

in any way without her consent.

I mean, hell, she
gets crabby with me

when I make the
slightest change and

I'm her best friend.

- Hey, who made these
changes to the system?

- Um.

I did.

Deanna wasn't actually
using the software

to it's full capabilities
and so I just

modified it.

I am so sorry, Aya.

I swear I was just
trying to help.

But I will change it back.

- Don't.

I love it.

- You do?
- You do?

- I do.

It's so much cleaner
and more efficient.

Thank you.

Hannah was right.

You are a godsend.

- Hello.

Hey.

- Hey.

- Aya Stevens?

- Yes.

- It's Eric.

Eric Davis.

- Eric?

Wow, Eric, hi.

So good to see you.

- Yeah, you too.

God, you look great.

- Yeah, so do you.

Wow, um.

Eric and I went to junior
high and high school together

like a million years ago.

Oh my God!

Wow.

I'm sorry it took me a
second to recognize you.

- Well to be fair

I was about four inches shorter

and a whole lot nerdier
when you knew me.

So thank God for
that growth spurt

freshman year of college.

- Yeah, thank God indeed.

- Lauren.

'Kay.

So, what brings you in?

- I was diagnosed with
some mild sciatica

and my doctor recommended
massage treatment.

So here I am.

And I'm heading out on a
business trip tomorrow.

And I was hoping I could
squeeze in my first appointment

before I leave.

- Unfortunately, we don't
have anything available

until next week.

- Actually I can
squeeze you in right now

if you have some time.

- Yeah, really?

You sure?

- Absolutely, it be
great to catch up.

- Great.

- [Aya] Is that
too much pressure?

- Yes.

But don't stop.

So how long have you
been working here?

- Well, actually,
I own this place.

- Wow.

Congrats.

Although I can't
say I'm surprised.

You always were an
overachiever in school.

- Me?

Look who's talking Mr
President of the student body.

- Yeah.

Chicks really dug
that way better

than the captain
of football team.

- Well what do you do now?

- I'm an engineer.

- Wow, that's impressive.

- What can I say?

Still a nerd at heart.

I've been working at a
firm based in Chicago

up until about a year ago.

- Why'd you come back?

A girl?

- Guess you could say that.

I got divorced.

The only reason I
transferred out there

is so my ex-wife could
be closer to her family.

I thought it would
make her happy.

I was wrong.

- I'm sorry.

- Don't be.

It really is for the best.

So what about you?

Married?

Kids?

- No to both.

To be honest I've

been so focused
the past few years

on getting this
place up and running

that I haven't really
had time to meet anybody.

- You know I find
that hard to believe.

I mean look at you.

Still as beautiful as ever.

I bet all the guys
that come through here

ask you out all the time.

- Well.

Thank you but

no I have a strict no dating
policy with my clients.

It's important to keep
things professional.

- Still a heartbreaker I see.

That was a good time.

God, you know I haven't
thought about that in years.

Life was so much
easier back then.

Wasn't it?

- Yes it was.

- Aya.

So sorry to interrupt.

But Mrs Feldman has been waiting

for over 15 minutes in room two.

- Oh, God, I must have
lost track of time.

So sorry I gotta run but

it was so good to see you.

- Aya, you too.

- Taryn, could you help Eric

set up his next appointment.

- Aya, actually why don't
I call you when I get back.

I'll know my
schedule better then.

- Yeah, we'll be here.

- [Eric] Great.

- And his massage
is on the house.

- Oh, no, you don't
have to do that.

- I know.

For old time's sake.

- Thank you.

- Just give us a call.

- Sure.

- Oh, hey.

I could have lit a match

with the sparks shooting
between you guys.

- What you saw was
just two old friends

happy to see each other again.

Nothing more.

- Yeah whatever.

Just tell me you're
gonna see him again.

- Oh, yeah, I am.

- Yeah?

- As a client.

- You are gonna be the
death of me, woman.

Such a waste of beauty.

- Hey.

What are you doing
home so early?

I'm sorry.

I thought you were Aya.

- You must be Taryn.

I'm Vicky.

Aya's roommate.

- Oh, of course.

I recognize you from
all of the pictures.

Thank you so much for
letting me stay in your room.

- Oh, no problem.

It's just

unfortunately I had to
cut my trip a little short

which means I'm gonna
need my room back

sooner than expected.

- Oh.

I wonder why Aya didn't tell me.

- Oh, she doesn't know that.

Let's just say this was
a last minute decision.

- Is everything okay?

- You know.

It's just kind of a long story

and I'm really beat
from my flight.

So if you don't mind

I just kinda wanna unpack.

- Of course.

[dramatic music]

I hope you don't mind that
I was using your laptop.

Aya said it was okay.

- Why do you have this?

- I'm sorry I'm not sure
what you're talking about.

What is that?

- It's Deanna's wallet.

I found it in your stuff.

- What were you doing
going through my stuff?

- It fell out when
I moved your bag

but that's not the point.

I know Deanna was mugged.

I saw the pictures
of her injuries.

And now here you
are with her wallet.

And from what I also hear

her job.

- It's not what you think.

- God, you know

I knew it wasn't a good idea

for Aya to let a total
stranger into our house.

Especially a former
foster care kid.

Should have trusted my gut.

Told her no.

- If you would just
let met explain.

- Yeah, save it for the cop.

- Okay, look.

This has all just been a
big misunderstanding really.

- You may have been
able to fool Aya

because of your whole
sorority sister bond thing

but you can't fool me.

Now give me back my phone.

- No.

Not until you listen to me.

- Fine.

I'll just use the landline then.

See how strong your
sisterly bond is

when Aya finds out what kind
of person you really are.

- I'm sorry but you
really left me no choice.

[suspenseful music]

[heart beating]

[heart beating]

[heart beating]

[heart beating]

[heart beating]

Hey!

- Hey.

- [Taryn] How was your day?

- Long.

But relatively uneventful.

How was your's?

- Same.

- Uh, what do you
want to do for dinner?

- Whatever you want.

I'm good.

- Okay.

- What are you doing?

- Oh, I left my
phone in the back

and I want to see
what time it was.

Sorry.

Hey.

You have to look at this
guy on this dating site.

- I am not getting
suckered into that again.

- No, that's not it.

I think I found Taryn's Steve.

- What?

- Is it just me

or is it the same guy
on her screensaver?

- Oh my God.

It is.

How did you find him?

- We matched up.

And so I reached out

and then it wasn't until he
told me his name was Steve

and started talking.

I put two and two together.

And look when it
says he's joined.

Three months ago.

Haven't they been dating
for over six months now?

- Yes.

Poor Taryn.

I mean I knew that guy
was blowing her off

because he didn't
want to commit but.

- Oh, he's a real class act.

Doesn't use my name

just calls me baby
and beautiful.

He keeps asking me
out for a coffee date.

I think I'm gonna tell him yes.

- What?

Why?

- Well I'm not
gonna actually go.

Just wanna

you know

give him a taste of
his own medicine.

Let him see what it's like
to be left high and dry.

- Wait.

Actually I think I
have a better idea.

Have you guys
exchanged numbers yet?

- No.

Just through the
dating site so far.

- Perfect.

Go ahead and tell him yes

but give him my number

to text you back.

I'll go ahead and
arrange the date

and actually go meet him.

- Uh, why?

What good is that gonna do?

- Taryn has been
holding on for this guy.

She's not gonna be able to
move on until she gets closure.

Maybe I can convince him
to at least give her that.

- Well don't you think if
you were gonna give her that

he would have called
her back by now?

- Well, it's easy to
ignore a phone call.

It's much harder
to ignore someone

who's standing right
in front of you.

Steve?

- Are you Lauren?

- No, I'm Aya.

I'm Lauren's best friend.

- Oh, okay.

I was about to say

you look nothing
like your pictures.

Not that that's a bad thing.

You're very beautiful as well.

I just meant.

- I know what you meant.

Do you mind if I sit?

- Sure.

- [Susan] Wait, so Aya is
meeting Steve right now

but pretending to be you?

- Well, sort of.

We set up the coffee date
through my dating profile

since that's where I met him.

But Aya wanted to confront Steve
about what he did to Taryn.

And obviously he's gonna know
it's not me when he sees her.

- And Taryn has no idea
you guys found him?

- Not yet.

Aya wanted to see
how it went first.

But I would love to be a
fly on that wall right now.

[shrieks]

- I'm sorry I had to trick
you into meeting me like this.

But I was afraid that
if I told you the truth

you would stop responding
to messages and disappear.

You're quite good
at that apparently.

- I'm sorry I don't follow.

Do I know you from somewhere?

- No.

But I know your girlfriend.

Taryn.

I met her the day she
landed to come be with you.

And she's been staying
with me ever since.

You know

since you stopped
responding to her calls.

When Lauren came across your
online profile accidentally.

- Taryn isn't here now is she?

- No.

I didn't want to
get her hopes up

until I got a chance
to talk to you.

I was hoping I could
convince you to

at least talk to her

and give her some closure.

- Listen to me

you have this all wrong.

You have no idea what
kind of person Taryn is.

- Well maybe not
as a girlfriend.

But as a friend.

- She's not my girlfriend.

Okay?

She never was.

- What do you mean?

- I mean

she made up the entire
relationship in her head.

- I saw a picture of you two

cuddled in bed
together on her phone

so how could she just be
making it all up in her head?

- A few months ago I was in
New York on a business trip.

I stayed at the hotel
where Taryn worked.

One night I needed
a recommendation for
a classy restaurant

to take a potential
client for dinner.

Taryn was the concierge
on call that night

and she recommended one.

I ended up landing the client

and as a thank you for the help

I sent her flowers.

Later the next evening

I'm having dinner in
the hotel restaurant

and Taryn comes by to
thank me for the flowers.

She sits down.

We get to talking and
we have a couple drinks.

Next thing you know

we're hooking up.

That's when that
picture was taken.

Although honestly I
don't remember taking
it I was so drunk.

It was a one night stand.

- Wait so you guys

didn't go out again

after that?

- No.

I figured we were both on
the same page about it.

But then she started
calling my room

at all hours of
the day and night

and showing up to
my room unannounced.

I tried to politely let her
down but she wouldn't listen.

What started out as

gratefulness for the flowers

turned into full blown
obsession and stalking.

She stole my personal
information from
the hotel computer

and started blowing
up my cell phone.

I finally notified the hotel

about the breach in
their guest privacy

not to mention the
mental condition

of one of their employees and

they fired her.

- She was fired?

- Yeah.

- She said she quit
to come out here.

- Maybe that's how she spun
it in her head to save face.

I don't know but

she was fired.

I thought that would
be the end of it.

Then I get this crazy message

that she's actually
in LA looking for me.

- I don't know what to say.

I can't believe she would
lie so easily like that.

- That's the thing.

I don't think she
knows she's lying.

I think she genuinely
believes it.

She's

like a leech.

And once she's latched on to you

she'll never let you go.

You said she's staying with you?

Look I don't want to scare you

but you need to get
her out of your house

right now before it's too late.

[alternative rock music]

- Taryn, you here?

[phone rings]

Hello.

- [Matt] Hey, uh, it's Matt.

Vicky's boyfriend.

- Hey, Matt, what's up?

- [Matt] Well, I was
hoping you could tell me.

I just want to check in and
make sure that Vicky was okay.

- What do you mean?

I thought she was with you?

- [Matt] No, we actually
had a big fight and

she just left.

I figured I'd give her
like three days to cool off

but she hasn't returned
any of my texts or calls.

- Oh.

Well, no I haven't seen her.

She hasn't been home yet.

- [Matt] Okay.

That's weird.

Three days ago I
got a notification

that she used my Uber account

to get a ride back to your
guys's place from the airport.

- Are you sure?

- [Matt] Yeah.

- Well maybe she swung
by to drop her stuff off

and then went up to go see
her parents or something.

I mean

she probably just
wanted to cool off.

You know how she gets.

- [Matt] Yeah, I hope so.

Look, will you
just do me a favor

and let me know when
you hear from her?
- Yeah, of course.

You do the same.

- [Matt] Okay.

Bye.

[dramatic music]

- Oh God.

- Would you like some
company in that shower?

- How'd you get in here?

- Oh, let's just say that

I'm limber.

But you already knew
that didn't you?

- Taryn stop.

- Now is that any
way to treat someone

who moved all the way
across the country

just to be with you?

- I never asked you to do that.

Nor did I want you to.

- Yes you did.

- When?

- When you got me fired.

I thought it was really sweet.

Honestly.

I mean you knew that

my job was the only thing
keeping me in New York.

So when you got me fired

I knew that that was your
way of letting me know that

you really wanted
me to come out here

so we could be together.

There was nothing standing
in our way anymore

and you made sure of that.

- Wow.

You really are crazy.

I got you fired

because you stole my personal
information from the hotel

and have been stalking me.

- Yeah, that's the story
that you told them but.

- But nothing.

That's the truth.

All you were was
a one night stand

that I regret with every fiber

of my being.

I swear to God if I could
take back that night I would.

- You don't mean that.

- Yes.

I do.

You were nothing but a mistake.

And I made sure to let your
friend Aya know that too.

Although

if she's smart she won't be
your friend for much longer.

- Why would you do that?

- Because she has a
right to know the truth.

- But that's not the truth.

You lied.

What we have is special.

- Oh my God.

There's no getting
through to you.

You need to get the hell
out of my house right now.

Before I call the police

and have you arrested.

I swear to God I will.

- No, okay, okay.

If that's what you really want.

Then I'll go.

Just let me get my purse, okay?

You know I really thought
that you were different.

[suspenseful music]

But it turns out you are
exactly like the rest of them.

[gun bangs]

Now you have a broken heart too.

Shh.

[phone ringing]

- [Vicky] Hey,
you've reached Vicky.

I can't get to the
phone right now.

You know what to

[phone ringing]

Hey, you've reached Vicky.

I can't get to the
phone right now.

You know what to do.

- Hey, it's me.

Matt just called
looking for you.

Said you two got
into a huge fight

and you left early.

Where are you?

Call me.

[suspenseful music]

Couple dies in
accidental house fire.

[door closing]

- [Taryn] Aya.

- Hey.
- Hey.

I brought home take out.

- Sounds great.

I'll be right there.

- Okay.

- Oh no, I'm good.

- Are you sure?

- Yeah, thanks.

Hey guess who I spoke to today?

- Who?

- Vicky.

You know, my roommate.

- God.

That's right.

Of course.

Is she enjoying her trip?

- She's not.

Unfortunately.

She and her boyfriend
got into some big fight.

- Oh.

Well that's too bad.

- Yeah.

And it gets worse.

She's decided to
come home early.

She'll be home in
two days actually.

- Oh.

- I feel really bad springing
this on you like this but

we both knew that she'd
be coming back eventually.

So

maybe you can take
the day off tomorrow

so you can start
looking for a place.

- Did I

do something wrong?

- What?

No.

Of course not.

No, I'm just
looking out for you.

You know it seems like
you want to stay in LA

with or without Steve

which is great.

You know, I just think it
will give you a fresh start.

- You know you
are totally right.

If I plan on staying in LA

which I do then

it's time for me to start
planting my own roots.

- Exactly.

You should probably start

putting feelers out for
jobs too while you're at it.

You know for when
Deanna comes back.

I would love to keep you both

but as you know

I can't really afford to incur

any unnecessary
expenses right now.

- I understand.

- I'm happy to be a
reference for you though.

For both actually.

The job and apartment.

- Wow.

That would be great.
Thanks.

- My pleasure.

Well it has been a long day

so I am going to go
binge watch some TV

and hit the sack early.

Thanks for the take out.

- Don't mention it.

[dramatic music]

- Good luck today.

- Are you sure you'll
be okay without me?

I don't wanna leave
you understaffed.

- I'm sure.

You just focus on
your own needs today.

Hey, what's going on?

- [Detective] Are
you Aya Stevens?

- Yes.

- I'm Detective Anderson.

I'd like to ask
you a few questions

about Steve Reichester.

His body was found by his
housekeeper this morning.

- His body.

What happened?

- He was murdered.

He was shot in the chest.

His phone records show

that his last communication

was a text exchange with you

setting up a coffee
date late yesterday.

So if you don't mind I'd like
to ask you a few questions.

- See I knew there was something
not right with this girl.

What did the detective say
when you told him all this?

- I didn't.

- Aya, why not?

- It's not relevant.

- Are you kidding?

Of course it's relevant.

Taryn stalking this guy

and then he ends up dead.

She probably stole
your gun to do it.

- No.

This is exactly why I
didn't tell the police.

'Cause they would've also just
jumped to unfair conclusions.

- I would hardly
call them unfair.

Clearly something is not
right with this girl.

She invented an entire
relationship in her head.

And then what about that
family photo of your's

you said she photoshopped
herself into?

- Look, I'm not saying that
the things that she's done

haven't been disturbing but

that doesn't make
her a murderer.

- Well regardless

you have to figure out
who you let into your home

and fast.

[pop music]

- Absolutely.

Well I hope so.

- [Woman] Bye.

Thanks again.

- Uh-huh.

Okay great.

We will see you Tuesday at four.

Thank you.

Bye.

[alternative rock music]

[dramatic music]

- [Lady] Thanks for
calling Omega Nu.

Please leave a message.

- Hi, my name is Aya Stevens.

I'm calling to
inquire about a sister

by the name of Taryn McGivens.

She's an alum from
the NYU chapter

graduated about four
or five years ago.

- Is Aya still here?

- Uh, no.

She had some personal
things to take care of.

- Oh.

I'll just leave this
back here for her then.

[phone rings]

It never ends.

- I'll be out to
relieve you soon.

I only have one more client.

Hi.

Can I speak to
Natasha Parks please.

Thank you.

- Taryn?

[dramatic music]

She actually looked.

[phone ringing]

- [Vicky] Hey,
you've reached Vicky.

I can't get to the
phone right now.

You know what to do.

- Hey, it's me again.

This is like the 10th
time that I've called you.

Look, I get avoiding Matt's
calls if you're pissed at him

but please don't avoid mine too.

I'm

I'm really worried about you.

Look just at least text me

and let me know you're okay.

Please.

Where are you?

[phone ringing]

Hey what's up?

- So, I just got some
interesting information.

Turns out your new little bestie

isn't your sorority
sister after all.

- What?

How do you know that?

- Some alumni
relations lady called

and left a message for you

saying that she was
returning your call.

So I call her back.

We start talking.

And turns out

there's no record
of a Taryn McGivens

ever being listed as
an Omega Nu sister.

- Well that doesn't mean
that she isn't you know.

She could be listed under
a different last name.

Maybe from one of
her foster families.

Parsons perhaps.

- No, no, no.

It doesn't matter what
last name she use.

There's no way that
she can be your sister

because your sorority
doesn't have a chapter

on the NYU campus.

The lady said there's
never been a chapter there.

Ever.

Aya?
You there?

- Yeah.

Yeah I'm here.

I don't get it.

Why would she lie about that?

- I don't know.

Why would she lie
about being with Steve

and following him
across the country?

Maybe 'cause she's crazy.

You have to get her out
of your life before she.

[howler tone]

Hello?

Aya?

- God, I really wish
you hadn't done that.

[suspenseful music]

[howler tone]

- Lauren?

Hello?

[tracker beeping]

[gasps]

Oh my God!

[phone ringing]

[cell vibrating]

Pick up, pick up, pick up.

- [Lauren] Hi, this is Lauren.

Leave a message.

- Call 911.

- [Operator] 911, what's
your emergency please?

- Yes, hi, um.

My name is Aya Stevens.

I have information
about a murder.

Lauren?

Oh my God.

Lauren?

- Oh no!

Now you're gonna ruin the
surprise that I had for you.

Oh.

I guess your secret drawer

wasn't so secret after all.

- What happened to Lauren?

- Oh.

Well Lauren got
what she deserved

for sticking her nose
where it didn't belong.

But you know what?

It's actually okay

because now she can help
me with your surprise.

- And what surprise is that?

- It's something that you said

you have always wanted
more than anything.

- Wait, what

what are you doing?

- I'm giving you
your perfect world.

- Um.

I think you misunderstood me.

I didn't wanna

burn the salon down.

Once I get the loan then

I'll have my fresh start.

- No!

You will only have
part of a fresh start.

And there's no guarantee
you'll even get approved.

What if you don't?

- Then I will just keep
working and saving until I do.

- Oh, God!

Well that will take years.

And by then the space next
door will be long gone.

Don't you get it?

I can make your entire
dream come true.

Right now.

- And I really appreciate

that you are willing
to do that for me.

But

I don't want you
to get in trouble.

- Oh, no, don't worry.

I won't.

See that's where
Lauren comes in.

It will look like an
accident caused by her.

I mean let's face it

she's not exactly the most
responsible employee anyway.

So, it will be believable.

[glass shatters]

And then with all of
the insurance money

we'll be able to expand

and then build up
the salon together.

I mean just think about it.

With your salon experience

and my clerical skills

we can make this place
a dream come true.

Doesn't that sound great?

- Yeah, it does.

What if this plan
doesn't work though?

I mean

insurance companies look
really closely at arson

before they're ready to pay out.

I mean what if they figure out
that it wasn't an accident?

- That won't happen.

- You don't know that for sure.

- Sure I do.

- How could you possibly?

- Because I've done it before.

- The fire.

It was you.

But
I thought you loved Sarah.

- I did.

- Then why would you ever?

- To save her.

I mean that was the only
way that I could ensure

that she would finally
be safe from Jack.

That way we could

have finally been

a real happy family together.

Just the two of us.

It was the perfect plan.

And then she ruined everything
by going back for him.

When I found out that
you were Sarah's sister

it was fate.

Just like you said that
first night at dinner.

I knew

right then

that we were family.

[dramatic music]

Guess you were right.

Something good does

always

come out of something bad.

Here's to our fresh start

together

as sisters.

[intense music]

No!

No!

No!

Stop!

No!

No!

It didn't have to be like this.

You ruined

everything.

Just like Sarah did.

I would have been the
best sister you ever had.

[yelling]

- You are not

my sister.

- [Lauren] You tell her.

- Oh my God!

Oh my God!

Are you okay?

- Yeah, yeah.

You okay?
- Yeah.

[police sirens wailing]

- Aya, where is she?

- She's in the back bathroom.

We locked her in.

- Come on guys, follow me.

[melancholy music]

Window.

[alternative rock music]

- Who is it?

Oh my God!

- [Aya] It's just D.

- Jesus.

- Gee, thanks.

That's just the reaction
I was hoping for.

- Oh, no, I just meant.

- Which is fine.

I know what you meant.

Believe me

I know.

- This is all my fault.

I never.
- Stop.

You have nothing
to apologize for.

I'm just so glad
you're both okay.

- Well, so are we.

- Just wish I could say
the same about Vicky.

- What is that?

- I passed the
mailman on the way in.

It's from the bank.

- Don't just stare at it.
Open it.

- I can't.

I've been through
enough this week.

- Really?

Like I haven't?

Swear I have to do
everything around here.

- Well.

What does it say?

- I'm sorry.

You didn't get approved for
the amount you were asking for.

You got approved for twice that.

- Wait.
What?

- [Lauren] I know.

- How?

- Apparently you
low balled yourself.

I mean you didn't know
how much you were worth

but the bank did.

- Oh my God.

Do you know what this means?

- There's gonna be
twice as much work?

- Well, yes but

it will totally be worth it.

What do you say you guys.

Are you still with me?

- Are you kidding?
Of course.

- Only on one condition.

You let me do the
hiring for now on.

- Deal.

[shrieking]

[soft music]

[melancholy music]

[phone ringing]

- Hello.

- Hey, it's Aya.

- Oh, hey.

I take it you got my flowers?

- I did.

They're beautiful.

But you really didn't have to.

- Yes I did.

You're a miracle worker.

And besides

how else was I gonna
get you to call me back?

- Well.

You could have just
called the spa.

- Well I did.

I left several messages with
your receptionist Taryn.

When I never heard back

I figured I needed to

get creative.

- Taryn was just

well that's a long story.

- Really?

Well why don't you tell
it to me this Saturday?

- I'm afraid I'm not
working on Saturday.

- Why I meant for dinner.

- Oh.

- Yeah, no, that sounded a
whole lot smoother in my head.

Um, do you prefer coffee?

- No, no ,no.

It's just

well I really do have a
rule about dating clients.

- I understand.

You're fired.

Now do you prefer
Italian or Mexican?

- Mexican.

- Alright.

[dramatic music]

- No!

Mommy.

No!

- Do you mind if
I sit down, honey?

Where you headin'?

- Just

away.

- Oh here.

Don't want you catch
your death of cold.

Looks like you've already
been through enough.

- Thank you.

I um

didn't

really have a lot of time
to grab any of my things

before I had to go.

- Oh you don't have to
explain to me, honey.

It maybe none of my business.

But I just want you to know
I think you're very brave.

Most women don't have
the courage to leave.

And then it gets a whole
hell of a lot worse.

- Yeah.

I know.

- Do you have family
that you could stay with?

- Um.

No, ma'am.

I'm an orphan.

- Oh.

Well, I tell you what.

Oh, it's not much.

But my husband and I
have a vacant guest house

that you could stay
in if you like.

Just until you're
back on your feet.

- Really?

- Uh-huh.

What's your name, honey?

- Taryn.

- Nice to meet you, Taryn.

I'm Sarah.

- Sarah.

Thank you.

You have no idea how
much this means to me.

- Oh.
