- Here you go. - Thank you.

Sorry I'm late.

I had that dream again where the Hemsworth brothers

- teach me how to surf. - Mmm.

Still holding out hope that it's a premonition.

Well, lucky for you,

today's the only day you're allowed to be late.

Happy birthday.

And I'm glad you slept in, 'cause I can't have you tired for tonight.

I have big plans for us.

Oh, yeah? What kind of plans?

Uh, let's just say I may have "borrowed"

a bottle of champagne from my mom's wine cabinet.

A little bit of drinking, a little bit of fooling around.

And that's all I have planned. Should I have tried a little bit harder?

No. No, that's perfect.

My parents should be out cold after this bougie dinner they're dragging me to.

I'm sure it won't be that bad.

You haven't heard my mom try and impress a French waiter

with her pronunciation of ratatouille.

Oh, wow. I accidentally summoned her.

Hi, boys.

- Hey. - Ooh!

Said it before and I'll say it again,

the softest cheeks in Creekwood.

Can you believe this sneaky cat left the house

without letting his own mother wish him a happy birthday?

Happy birthday, darling.

It's a pain au chocolat from Café Jacquot.

Odd gift, considering I'm surrounded by pastries all day.

- But it's very sweet. Thank you, Mom. - Mmm.

Oh, Benji, before I go,

could you make me one of those delicious oat milk lattes?

Sure, Mother.

Okay. The coast is clear.

I'm sure Benji mentioned that we're taking him to Chez Luisant tonight.

Well, I was hoping that you could join us.

As a fun surprise for him.

Yeah! Yeah, of course. That'd be great.

Oh, wonderful. You may want to dress up a bit.

But don't worry, it isn't, um, hoity-toity. It's more, um,

cozy chic.

Mmm. Oh, I'm gonna take a rain check on the latte.

My, uh, my matcha's just kicked in and I'm feeling a little buzzy.

I can't wait to celebrate you later.

- Bye, Victor. - Bye.

Did my mom just wink at you?

That's how you pay your respects to "the softest cheeks in Creekwood."

- Softest, huh? Let me see. - Hey! Come here.

This is nice.

Yeah, it's fine.

Is it me or does it feel like we have a very emotional chaperone?

Give her a break.

Felix still won't talk to her. She's a mess.

I mean, she's not even wearing heels.

Her motto is usually "give me three inches or give me death."

So Felix just barely made the cut. Ho-ho!

Okay. Andrew...

If Mia accidentally got your mom committed to a 72-hour psych hold,

which of these surprise dates would make you forgive her:

a visit to the Jimmy Carter Presidential Library,

or a visit to the Center for Puppetry Arts. Be honest.

These are real places?

God, Atlanta sucks.

Guys, this is serious.

I-I really have to think of something amazing

to remind Felix how much I love him!

Lake. Breathe.

I'll help you find the perfect thing. Okay?

Thank you.

Okay. Now I'm gonna go order us a bunch of Chinese takeout,

like they do in movies where the lawyers have to stay up all night

cracking the case. Okay?

I thought we were gonna order pizza.

I know. I just need to be here for Lake, is all.

Look, if we finish early,

we can order pizza from the comfort of my bedroom.

Oh, uh, can you hold on for a second?

Guys. Guys!

Smash on your own time, okay?

A relationship hangs in the balance.

Betrayed by my lover.

They took away my mother. Will I ever recover?

Uh, hey, Felix.

When was the last time you took a shower?

Yeah, you're really making me regret having a nose.

My nose is my second favorite body part.

Wouldn't you like to know?

All right. I'll go.

Hey, would you guys be able to keep an eye on him tonight?

Benji's mom invited me to Chez Luisant for his birthday.

I heard J. Lo ate there every night while she was staying here

filming that new movie about being a scrappy mom

finding true love.

Hasn't she already made that movie?

Oh, and every Avengers movie is uniquely different.

You're not actually gonna wear that, are you?

Uh, yeah. Benji's mom said it's "cozy meets chic."

Are you sure you're gay? I... I wash my hands of this. Ugh.

Okay, don't... don't mind her. We'll find you something to wear.

Something clean and classic.

You know...

Okay, wow. You, you really love the non-descript athletic tee.

Uh, well I could probably borrow one of my dad's button-ups.

Uh, you know, he, he's a little bit bigger than I am,

- but I could tuck it in. - We're probably the same size, right?

Oh, no, no, no. It's, it's okay. Really...

It's fine.

And it's, uh, it's last season St. Laurent, so...

try not to spill anything on it.

Well, uh, try not to spill anything on this, either,

because it is present day Old Navy.

Cute.

Just... yeah.

All right.

Oh, damn, Victor! Lookin' good.

That will be the first and last time I ever catcall my brother.

Hey, guys, there's snacks in the kitchen.

- Rahim, Keto friendly. I got you. - Oh.

Mira que handsome.

Hold on. Your collar is all crooked.

There.

So guess where I'm going tonight.

My first PFLAG meeting.

- Really? - Yeah.

I need a little advice on how to talk to Adrian about...

who you are.

Thank you.

Thank you for being so patient with me.

You guys are out of towels.

It was so good meeting you.

Well, look who the cat dragged in.

And what a dapper cat he is.

Wait, Victor isn't the cat. He's what the cat is dragging.

That is such a strange expression.

Victor, what are you doing here?

Uh, good to see you, too.

- No, sorry, I-I just meant... - We asked Victor to join us

as a little birthday surprise.

Ah, well, you guys look great.

I wasn't totally sure what "cozy chic" meant, but now I think I get it.

It sounds like my wife gave you one of her indecipherable dress codes.

Last week, it was "fireside fashionable."

Well, no matter what I say,

he always wears the same sweater vest.

Oh, there's our table.

Oh, Victor, you are in for a treat.

The food here is truly divine.

Any other ideas?

Ponce City Market has rooftop ice skating.

Oof, no. Felix doesn't like ice skating.

He thinks it's a recipe for disaster to wear weapons as shoes.

Oh, my God! The aquarium has a deep sea fish exhibit.

Okay.

Oh, uh, Felix taught me about this

weird glow-in-the-dark deep sea fish

the very first time we kissed, and it's kind of our origin story.

He would love this.

All right. Aquarium it is.

What's the look?

I just... Okay, are you sure this is the right move?

I mean, Felix has a pretty good reason to be upset.

And maybe what he needs more than a fancy aquarium date is just...

time.

Yeah, but what do you mean

he has a pretty good reason to be upset?

- Mia, I was trying to help him. - I know that.

But he asked you not to say anything about his mom, Lake. And you did.

And now she's being detained at a hospital.

'Cause she's sick, and she needs help.

I'm just saying Felix trusted you,

and you betrayed that trust.

I know what it's like to have a mom go away.

- And it hurts. - I know it hurts.

Because I was there for you when it happened.

Holding your hand and being your friend.

Which is clearly something you can't be for me right now. So...

Lake, come on.

No. No, uh, thanks... thanks for the support.

Now I just gotta figure out how to make an aquarium romantic AF.

And I think... Let's put in an order of le ratatouille

- for the table. - Great choice.

Thank you, Henri.

Your mom really does say ratatouille

like she's trying to win a Michelin star.

Uh, Mom, can I actually talk to you for a second?

Sure. Right after the sparkling cider toast.

Benjamin, we couldn't love you more.

We all know that the last couple of years haven't been easy...

- Mom, I, I just... - Let her have her moment.

She practiced this at home for an hour.

- A very long hour. - Shush!

After your car accident last year,

you were so hard on yourself,

and things were...

pretty dark for a while there, and...

you decided to put in the hard work.

Look at you now. You're so committed to your...

your sobriety, and your AA meetings.

And last week, you earned your one-year chip.

We couldn't possibly be prouder of you, darling.

We love you so much, Benji.

Happy birthday, sweetheart.

Wait, wait. You're, you're sober?

I have to go to the bathroom.

Did you not know?

I, I knew about the accident, but I didn't know that he was in AA.

Hey, buddy. We're having a J. Lo movie marathon,

because apparently if someone mentions J. Lo,

Rahim has to have a marathon. Wanna join?

Oh, my God, uh, no. This is, um...

This is my mom's social worker. Um...

Hi, Alison. Uh, what's up?

Okay, the doctor thought...

I understand.

Yeah, uh, can, can I have a second?

Um, based on evaluations,

they are doing an extended hold.

It can, uh, it can, it can be up to 14 days.

Hi. Yeah, sorry about that.

This sucks, I mean, no one deserves this less than Felix.

He's literally the sweatiest person.

No, you were about to say sweetest.

Looks like someone has a little crush.

On Felix? Yeah. Right.

He's like a sweet, goofy Muppet.

Humph.

I got bored waiting for you guys, so I started Hustlers.

Two questions: What's a lap dance, and why is it so expensive?

Um...

Hi, everyone. This week's meeting

will be starting in a few minutes.

- Thank you. - Now, y'all grab a snack and take a seat.

- Hey. - Hey, you.

I know. One creamer, three Splendas. Right?

You remembered.

Ah, bless you.

- Well... - Lord knows I could use the caffeine.

Zoey kept me up watching another Kristen Stewart movie.

I swear, my kid is obsessed with that fidgety woman.

- Kind of like you. - Oh, stop.

After you...

- Hey. - Hey.

I'm really sorry you had to find out about AA like that.

What about at the cabin?

- We, we were drinking vodka. - I was drinking orange juice.

I switched out my cup when no one was looking.

Whenever we're around alcohol, I, I just... fake it.

It's easier for me to pretend that I drink

instead of explain why I don't.

I mean, I, I get that. I do.

With other people.

But why didn't you tell me that? We tell each other everything.

I don't know, Victor. I, I guess I just...

didn't want you to think of me as your boyfriend, the alcoholic.

I would never judge you like that.

No, of course not.

It's just my own stuff. Look, can you...

I'm sorry, okay. Can, can you just forgive me?

I want to.

It's just that you always push me to be more open with you.

And this is like, a huge part of your life that you just hid from me.

You know, you could at least try and be a little more understanding.

I've put up with a ton of your shit,

- and never made you feel bad about any of it. - Whoa, whoa, whoa...

- What is that supposed to mean? - Oh, nothing. You know, just forget it.

No, please, tell me. What shit have you had to put up with?

I don't know, Victor.

There's the fact that you're completely new to being gay.

And every single thing that we go through is this massively big deal

that we have to examine.

And then, then there's your mom,

who thinks that you're going to Hell for being with me.

And every time she takes a tiny step forward,

I'm supposed to jump for joy.

I mean, I, I'm not even allowed in your house.

But do I ever make you feel guilty about any of that stuff?

No. No, I've been nothing but patient, and, and understanding.

The very least you could do is just, is return the favor.

I guess I just didn't realize how much patience

and understanding it took to be with me.

Happy birthday, Benji.

I can't believe Lake's trying to smooth things over

by bringing you to some aquarium.

Me, neither.

And I can't believe Benji said it's exhausting to be with you.

I think being around you is invigorating.

Thank you. So you agree Benji's being a total dick?

Totally. Although, you...

- What? - It's nothing. It's just...

Must be hard for him, you know, to see you struggle so much with your mom.

And don't get me wrong, I love me some Izzy Salazar, but...

watching her make you feel like crap these past few months...

It's been tough. And I'm not even banging you.

Or are you banging him? Did you guys ever settle on that?

Well, it must be hard for Lake, too.

You know, to see you going through all this stuff,

and have to deal with your mom all by yourself.

So what, they just...

love us both so much they can't bear to see us in pain?

Damn.

It's a curse to be this beautiful.

Where are you going?

I am going to hear her out.

So, good luck with Benji.

Thanks.

Can you believe J. Lo looks this good at 50?

She's 50?

Am I into cougars?

Hey, guys.

Hey! Wanna join us?

Oh, no, I'm actually gonna go meet Lake.

Lake? Like, Lake, your girlfriend, Lake.

Cool. Cool. Good luck.

Thanks.

Hey, little man. You mind taking this...

... tempting bowl of carbs back to the kitchen?

After six, it sticks.

What?

"Lake? Lake, like, like, like your girlfriend, Lake?

Cool. Cool, cool, cool."

Are you sure you just see him as a sweet, goofy Muppet?

You're right. I think he's the sexiest Muppet.

- He's basically Gonzo. - There it is.

Hey. If J. Lo taught us anything,

it's that the hot, tough-ass Puerto Rican chick

usually gets what she wants in the end, right?

And to wear sunscreen.

Always wear sunscreen.

Isa.

I didn't realize you were here tonight.

Were you at the meeting?

Only long enough to see you flirting up a storm with some other woman.

Are you talking about Shelby?

I mean, she's a new friend, but I barely know her.

You know her well enough to know how she takes her coffee.

It's not like that, Isabel.

What's it like, Armando?

Because I know you like I know the back of my hand,

and I saw the way you were looking at that woman.

Is this what you want?

To see other people?

When we decided to take this time apart,

we agreed that we needed to work on ourselves.

To find a way back to our marriage with fresh eyes.

If we're meant to come back to it.

We've been together since we were kids,

and I just think...

I mean, what's the point of being separated

if we're not gonna try and find out what we really want.

I'm gonna need you to say the words.

Yes.

I'd like to see other people.

Thank you for your honesty.

Thank you so much for coming.

I really, really missed you.

Missed you, too.

Look.

Anglerfish.

Felix.

You taught me about that creepy fish

on the night we first kissed.

And in a way,

it represents the start of our relationship.

And...

I guess I was hoping that it could represent a new start, too.

I am so, so sorry for betraying your trust,

but when I saw how much pain your mom's situation was causing you,

all I wanted to do was just take that pain away.

I know.

- You do? - Yes.

Oh...

Good.

I understand why you told your mom about my mom.

I really do.

But I trusted you.

And now she's gone, and I don't know when she's gonna be back.

That night I kissed you,

I told you the only thing a male angler fish wants

is to make its mate happy.

Yeah, I remember.

I don't want to be that fish.

I think need to be happy, too.

And right now...

seeing you makes me really, really sad.

So, I'm sorry, Lake.

I don't think we can be together.

Victor, I'm going out for a sec.

You're on Adrian duty.

There is a rapper that's named Ivan,

or, you know...

Hey. You're back?

Yeah. I'm back.

What are you doing?

I've, um, been coming up here

every night since my mom's been gone.

We never skipped Millionaire,

so I have been keeping the tradition going.

Are you taking notes?

No. No, uh, keeping score.

My mom and I are very competitive.

Mind if I join you?

I'm not a very good hang right now.

This might surprise you,

but sad and pissed is kind of my ideal vibe, so...

Okay. Um...

pretty simple. Just write down what you think the right answer is,

- and... - A: Wimbledon.

Okay, pro tip...

you'll have a much better chance of getting it right

if you wait to see if they phone a friend.

- Hmm. - But you were right.

It's, it's Wimbledon. Yes.

Ha! Pilar: one. Felix: zero.

Well, they start out with the easy questions first, so...

You're a dead man.

It's on.

- Is it? - Yeah.

- Oh, okay. - Oh, ho ho!

You're about to enter a world of hurt.

- Hey. - Hey.

I was kind of surprised when I got your text.

Yeah, well, my, my mom's not here, and even if she was, I...

I needed to see you.

Listen, I... I know dating me can be a lot sometimes,

- and I know you try to be patient. - It's fine, Victor.

Really. I was just...

really embarrassed that you found out about AA.

I wanted to keep that part of my life separate from you,

because I hate that part of my life,

and you're the part of my life that I love.

Let's go to my room.

You're really thinking about Lake right now. Aren't you?

- No, no. I'm super into this. - Mmm.

You have your phone in your hand,

and you're waiting for her to text you.

Yes. Yes, because I was gonna record us.

- I'm, I'm secretly super kinky. Surprise! - Mmm.

You need to get your mind off of Lake.

And this pizza is gonna help you do that.

Oh, hey.

Hey.

Mia.

Felix broke up with me.

Oh, God, I am so sorry.

No, you were right.

I messed up big, and I was just dumb to think

I could fix it with some romantic night fish.

Mmm, no. Don't blame yourself.

You know what'll make you feel better?

Pizza. And you're in luck.

It's just about to get here, so... I'll bounce.

Give you two some privacy.

Thank you.

Mmm. Aw... Tell me what happened.

Mmm.

Oh...

How was your dinner?

Uh...
