Lucia's always playing games.

I wish you could be less hung up on Lucia

and more supportive of me.

I'm gonna sleep at my place tonight.

I need some space.

I think I have just the location

- for the women's center. - Great! Where?

3rd and Temple.

The city posted these sweep notices.

It's, uh, the lot on 3rd and Temple.

Crowd chanting - "Stop the sweeps"

Why not let me be your manager?

Let's get you paid.

Thank you, Santa Clarita!

How are you?

I'm working and living on a farm,

and I've never been more at peace.

I mean, if she's so happy where she is,

then why is this guy watching her?

Plates from the van she got in are registered to this address.

My son Adam has the van.

Adam Miller?

Adam is my brother.

If your sister's with him,

she's in danger.

How do you know Zelda Grant?

She's a brand influencer.

With, like, four million followers.

I heard about another female-led start-up

doing something really similar to BB.

If you're interested, I could put in a word.

So we had an idea.

It's a new feature for the app

called "Counter Pro."

Gael gets 50% of everything that you make.

Or I could tell everyone that Yuri Elwin

is a fraud.

Your baby mama came to visit yesterday.

You're fired.

What did you do?

I'm really so sorry.

I can't right now.

I'm coming.

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

Hi! Um, good... good morning.

I'm Alice.

Uh, and I've been asked to facilitate

your sexual harassment training.

"What is sexual harassment?"

Talk about a touchy subject.

Can't really put your finger on it,

but if you do,

make sure it's in the right spot.

I'm kidding.

Sexual harassment is no joking matter,

which is why we're all here at 7:00 a.m.,

bright and early. This blows.

It's a bad choice of words.

Okay, um...

Consent!

All of you consented to be here against your will.

Am I right?

Do you feel harassed?

What about now?

I'm just kidding.

"Melissa, nice necklace."

That's appropriate.

"Melissa, I love the way your necklace

"plunges down your neckline

and accentuates your ripe melons."

That's inappropriate.

Hey! Where are you going?

I... I still have the section,

"When it's okay to date your co-worker."

Can you? Is that allowed?

No! There's 47 more pages.

We're getting through... I... I'll be...

I'm... Give me a break! I'm a comedian, people!

Come on!

I'm trying my best! Look at me...

♪ Pa-pa-paa, pa-pa-pa-pa-pa

♪ Pa-pa-paa, pa-pa-pa-pa

♪ Then we'll find our peace of mind ♪

♪ You and me, Bel Ami

♪ Pa-pa-pa, pa-paaa

Gael. Gael!

Gael, stop. I'm so sorry. I was just trying to help.

Gael! Please! Wait, I'm sorry!

Isabella, I don't have a job now!

What are we gonna do?

How am I gonna take care of our baby?

How am I gonna make that kinda money?

I'm so sorry. Stop!

Please! I'm so sorry. Please just don't leave me.

Just don't leave. I'm so sorry.

- Please don't leave. - Okay. Okay.

Hey, it's okay.

- I'm so sorry. - It's okay.

I'm so sorry.

Good morning.

Morning.

I'm gonna get us some coffee.

Okay, I'm not doing any more online seminars

or pet adoptions!

A month ago, I was opening for Margaret Cho!

What happened to me?

Nothing! You are on your way!

And I just landed you a gig on stage

- at a very hot... - Club?

Coffee shop! It's very popular.

So, uh, a gig where people are there for lattes, not laughter!

- Come on! - Well, I think...

Derek?

Wha... De... Derek has a sitcom?

Oh, yay, Derek!

"Yay, Derek"?

"Oh, yay, Derek." Wh-What?

I was the one they were supposed to give the comedy deal to.

This is supposed to be me!

He tried to sabotage us!

No, I had to do the right thing.

I had to be Miss Big Person!

Now, look at him!

I was supposed to be Hiss & Hers!

- This is my life! - Okay, Alice.

Breathe. Take a deep breath!

And listen.

Okay, everyone has their own path to success.

We have a strategy. Okay?

So run your own race.

And meanwhile, try to find joy in the wins of your friends.

Yay, Derek!

Alice!

The launch of Bulk Beauty was very successful

and created an initial influx of subscribers and profits.

But now, our numbers are starting to plateau.

What we need is something new to get people talking up the app.

Like what?

What if we partner with a brand influencer

that can help promote Bulk Beauty?

Who?

Zelda Grant has over 10 million followers.

We already know her.

And if she can drive

a ton of new customers to our app...

How much...

...would a deal with Zelda cost?

I've been doing some research,

and we're talking in the ballpark of

$100,000.

$100,000?

I don't know about spending that kind of money.

I thought our first priority was to buy Evan out.

It is! But Evan isn't in any hurry.

He hasn't even asked for a return on his investment.

So why not take advantage of this

and reinvest in ourselves?

And who knows, if Zelda increases sales,

we might have more revenue to buy Evan out even sooner.

Exactly!

That makes a lot of sense.

Yeah, but wouldn't we still have to get Evan's approval?

I like it.

But it's your company. Your call.

Great! Um, next step is to ask Zelda.

I'm not interested.

Uh, is there a reason that you're not interested?

Well, I believe women should be supportive of one another.

And Mariana,

I don't trust you.

Me? Why?

Because you ripped off

Raisa and Ava's Counter Pro idea.

Well, they were compensated for that in the buyout.

No, actually, they weren't.

And now they have no app and no jobs.

And I feel responsible

for introducing you to them in the first place.

And that's why I'm not interested.

I can't believe they got nothing for their idea.

Looks like Jackie ripped them off too.

Maybe... we should compensate them ourselves.

No, no, no. Absolutely not.

We invited them to join us!

And they chose to stay with Jackie.

Even when they knew she stole our idea.

I know you like them,

but we don't owe them anything.

Neither do you.

My friend confirmed what Adam Miller's brother told us.

He did a few years in prison for assault and battery,

drugs, grand larceny.

And we're sure that this is the guy

that was watching you and Jenna in the coffee shop?

I mean, he drove away with her afterwards in his mom's van.

It's gotta be him.

Okay, well, did your friend get an address?

No.

But I'm assuming it's wherever this farm is

that Jenna's working on.

So I'm gonna go back to the farmer's market,

try to see if I can find the van and just wait for them.

And then what?

Try to talk to Jenna again.

Maybe she doesn't realize how bad this guy is.

Whatever you do, just make sure

that you talk to Jenna in public.

Especially if this guy is dangerous.

Don't worry. I will.

Do you have a moment?

Sure.

That vacant lot you chose for the women's center

is occupied by an unhoused encampment.

I'm concerned it might appear

like we're using the women's center for political cover

just so we can clear those people out.

We're not clearing them out to build a Target.

We're building housing.

And we'll relocate them to shelters.

Temporary shelters with conditions and curfews.

We need to offer them permanent housing.

Where?

If you don't like the way we're doing things,

feel free to present me with a better idea.

Or we can forget about trying to improve lives and offer services

with the women's center.

You're gonna need to learn, Malika,

that there are no perfect solutions

to the problems we face.

Hey.

Did you ever hear about that group of unhoused people in Philadelphia

and the team of organizers who got the city

to buy a few empty apartment buildings

for them to move into and control?

No.

But the same idea was floated around here a while ago.

City even got a big-time commercial real estate mogul on board.

Wh... What happened?

Same thing that always happens

when there's talks of spending millions of dollars

to actually house the unhoused.

It fell apart.

Wh... What was this real estate mogul's name?

Maybe we can get a meeting.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, wait! What is this "we" business?

Well, I can't do this alone. I need your help.

I don't know.

Come on, please!

That's... It's my religion.

Please, please. Come on, girl.

- You look so beautiful. - Thank you.

And I'm glad we went with the bigger dress.

Yeah.

That girl is making herself known.

Hmm. In more ways than one.

She's kicking right now.

Can I feel?

Of course! Here.

Wow.

Thank you.

For including me in the wedding.

Of course! You're family now.

Aw.

And I can't wait to be TiaJaz

and spoil my little niece to pieces.

I'm not sure if I'm supposed to know this,

but Gael told me the two of you are together as a couple.

And I am so happy for you.

Thank you.

What's wrong?

Nothing, um, it's probably just baby hormones or something.

Is everything okay with you two?

I think I made a terrible mistake.

Why do you keep checking your phone?

Oh, um, just hoping for a text.

I had a fight with Angelica.

So why don't you just text her?

Because even though she was kinda right,

she was also kinda wrong!

So... I think the ball's in her court.

Hmm. Solid reasoning with a dash of pettiness.

I approve.

Okay!

I think that's him.

Yep, that's him. Let's go!

Mr. Rexford... hi.

Um, we're from City Councilwoman Lucia Morales' office.

Can we have a word with you

to discuss reviving the purchase

of apartment buildings you own for the unhoused?

Look, I've been down that road already,

and the city dropped the ball.

This is why government solutions to real problems always fail.

Not always. Public funds have been used to do great things

like social security and Medicare.

So, surely we can help fund a housing program.

Especially since we have

over 90,000 vacant homes and apartments in LA

just sitting empty.

Some of which belong to you.

The city's in bed with people like me.

And most of 'em don't give a hoot about the unhoused crisis

as long as they're making money building luxury homes and apartments.

I tried to offer the city

a chance to buy apartment buildings

to minimum profit for me... for permanent housing.

But they're penny wise and pound foolish.

So they keep investing millions on temporary shelters

and... and services with no long-term solutions.

Without the political will to really change, it's impossible.

Now, if you'll excuse me.

Nothing is impossible if you refuse to give up!

Look at you!

This is what happens when I get involved!

I start to care! And that is a horrible way to live.

Oh, no. Don't go there. I need you.

Fine. We are gonna live to regret it.

I do think we have an in with the son.

- Oh. - He was impressed by you.

The son?

Yeah, the guy with Rexford is his son.

Maybe he can convince his dad.

Huh.

Maybe.

Go call Silas.

Hey.

I'm looking for Adam Miller.

You found him.

- You're Adam Miller? - Yeah.

Can I help you with something?

Uh, yeah, no, I just came to see my sister, Jenna.

Uh, Jenna isn't here at the moment.

I'm Silas.

Welcome to our farm.

You met, uh, you met Adam.

And, uh, this is Tamara and Holly.

- Hi. - Hey.

Jenna's up in Bakersfield today,

delivering honey to our vendors.

Sorry you missed her.

I'm afraid that she won't be back until late tonight.

Uh, since you're here, why don't I show you around?

This land has been neglected for years.

But it was ripe with potential,

so we turned it into a working farm again.

- Beautiful day, Silas. - Yes, it is.

Tomatoes look lovely, Wendy.

Thank you, Silas. The Earth has blessed us.

So all these women work for you?

Not for me, for the farm.

Most of our income comes from harvesting the honey from our bees.

- Bees? - Bees.

Yeah, bees are powerful symbols of love and dedication

to a cause that's greater than oneself.

And we strive to emulate that here.

We call this place "The Colony,"

and our honey "Great Radiance."

So you all, like, live here together too?

Yes.

Yeah, we find it easier to be in harmony

with both our work and our spiritual alignment on the farm.

Living off the grid as much as possible.

I hear that.

So what's his story?

Oh. Yeah, like many of us here,

Adam, he's had a difficult past,

uh, anger issues.

But he's... he's paid his debt to society.

Everyone here has some trauma

that they're trying to leave behind.

And like all of us, he deserves a second chance.

So you all practice, like, some kind of religion?

The Earth is our only God.

Transcendence and healing is what we're all about.

Consciousness.

I have a doctorate in psychology,

talk therapy can only take you so far.

You know, I recognize you from... from the cafe

where, remember, I met with my sister?

Why didn't you just introduce yourself then?

Well, Jenna asked me to come for moral support,

but she did not want me to interfere.

Family affairs are not my business.

That right?

Jenna has been very clear with you

that she does not want any contact with her family

or her painful past.

I think she'd be pretty upset that you came.

Is there some reason that you're finding it difficult

to respect her wishes?

Because I assure you, she is perfectly safe and happy here.

You know, I... You're right. I should respect her wishes.

I just... I miss her, man. You know?

But, I mean, this does seem like a... like a safe place.

I'm glad you feel that way.

Could you do me a big favor, actually?

Could you just not tell her I showed up?

Normally, uh, I don't keep secrets.

But... since this will only hurt Jenna,

I won't say a word.

Thank you, man.

Thank you.

Really nice to meet you.

You as well.

I wish you peace and blessings.

Thought I might find you here.

I can't believe this is where I'm getting married.

- Mm-hmm. - So beautiful.

Thanks for making this happen.

Ah, it's gonna be amazing.

And it was really nice of you to invite everyone from The Coterie.

Oh, your friends are my friends.

So how did, uh, the fitting with Isabella go?

Good.

Um, she...

told me what happened with your boss.

Did she tell you that she got me fired?

Yes.

And she's afraid you'll never forgive her.

Jaz, she crossed the line.

She saw you were being taken advantage of,

and she was just looking out for you.

Look, she had no business talking to you about this.

She's family, and she loves you.

Try not to be so hard on her.

Isabella was only doing for you

what she thought you maybe couldn't do for yourself.

I have to go. But... I love you.

Abrazos.

Me too.

All right, get outta here.

What's up, everybody? L.B. Brady here to let you know

that I am making my stand-up debut onKimmel tonight.

I crushed it!

Hola, me gente!

I just booked a national commercial.

What's up, y'all?

This is the pilot script

of my brand-new, soon-to-be-hit sitcom,

Hiss and Hers! Snake it or Break it.

I absolutely crushed it.

I cannot wait for you to see it.

So tune in tonight!

You are looking at the new face

of Charge Card.

- I just want to thank all my fans... - Seriously?

...for all the love and support

y'all have been showing me on Instagram.

- How do you Charge? - It means the world.

Man, everything's coming up L.B. these days!

- Good things really do happen to good people. - Bop!

So I'm not sure if you're taking new clients right now,

but I just went on tour with Margaret Cho,

and I just sent you my reel.

So... cool.

Um, thank you. Love you.

Not love you, but... Okay, I'm hanging up now.

How much of that did you hear?

Pretty much all of it.

- Yikes! - Mm-hmm. Yeah.

I thought Sumi was your manager?

Yeah. I mean, she is,

but... reality check, the woman is a dental hygienist.

She doesn't have experience.

And I want a sitcom. You know?

I want a national commercial. Jimmy Kimmel Live.

Wait, I saw that L.B. booked that. Good for them!

Yeah, uh, for them. I'm very happy.

Okay.

I get your concerns.

But Sumi had no experience

when she stepped in as Coterie manager.

And she did a great job!

Why don't you give her a chance?

And no other manager will care about you

as much as she does, so.

- Thanks. - Mm-hmm. Love you.

Can you get that one? Okay.

Oh, it's a good job we did today.

Jackie was supposed to compensate you for Counter Pro,

but because she didn't, I want you to have this.

This is a mere fraction of what Counter Pro is worth.

Yeah, I... I know it's not a lot,

but it's my own personal money,

and it's all I have.

And the truth is, you should've came to BB.

The truth is,

you tried to sabotage us at Revitalize,

and pretended to be our friend!

Okay... Yeah, I... I did do that.

And I'm sorry.

But I was your friend.

You decided to stay with Jackie.

We didn't have much of a choice.

You always have a choice.

Easy for you to say.

Not all of us have a rich boyfriend

who can buy up the competition and bail us out.

And to think we felt sorry for you having to work for Evan Speck.

When in reality, you were sleeping with him.

Well, if you don't want the money...

- We'll take it. - We'll take it.

I suppose it's better than nothing.

Which is what we got from Jackie.

Don't think this gives you license to sleep better at night.

Once we finalize the source code,

we can start testing the beta site.

Excuse me.

What are you doing?

I rented another pod here for an app I'm developing.

Oh, so you're just gonna be here all the time now?

Not all the time,

but I thought because BB was here

that I could knock out two...

Why did you buy Revitalize?

Why did you bail us out?

Eh... Don't say it's because it was a good investment.

Because if that's the case, then why don't you care when we buy you out?

Eh... Don't say...

it's because you want me to have whatever I want.

Because that sounds like you did all of this for me.

And it doesn't sound like you moving on, or forward.

If you don't want me to rent another pod...

I... I didn't say that.

Or, um, you're seeing too much of me.

I didn't say that!

Then... what are you saying?

I'm saying, if this is a professional arrangement...

No... Because this is a professional arrangement,

I need you to treat me, and us, and BB

strictly professionally, like you said.

I don't want anyone under the impression

that you did all of this for me because you're my boyfriend.

Ex-boyfriend.

Okay.

Okay. Thank you.

Mm-hmm.

It's been a while.

Trust me, Xavier was holding a coffee cup

from this coffee shop yesterday.

If he's a creature of habit,

this is how we happen to run into him again.

Yeah, and end up being late to work.

Do you want my help or not?

Sorry.

Ah-ha! Here he is.

Go get him.

Me? Wh... You're not coming?

No... He likes you. Three's a crowd.

Go!

Hey. Uh, yeah, can I get an America no?

Sorry. I need a new alarm tone.

Definitely not this one!

Tap his shoulder.

Hey, wasn't that you yesterday with Gene Rexford?

You're the city council staffer.

That's me.

Uh, you... You can go ahead.

- If you don't mind... - No, please.

Um, how long have you worked with Mr. Rexford?

Uh, I worked with my dad for about five years.

- Oh, he's your dad! - Yeah. Yeah.

I... I remember when that city council deal fell through.

I was disappointed, but they kept pumping their brakes, so...

They may be a lot less hesitant today, you know?

With the unhoused situation so much worse.

I don't know.

My dad, once he walks away from a deal,

he's not the type of guy to walk back.

Unless you convince him otherwise.

He needs to see how desperate the situation is.

It's up to our generation

to do what the older generation won't.

Okay, I'll talk to him,

but can I get my coffee fix first?

Of course. Sure.

Sorry about that. Um...

I sent everyone a list of other beauty influencers we could go to.

Oh, I love Cassandra Woodfine.

I wish my eyebrows were that fierce.

How about Sunny Yoon?

Ah, co-sign! She's so fun and relatable.

I've been rethinking this.

I... I think that our priority should be paying Evan back

as soon as we can.

I don't want people to think

that we're taking advantage in any way

because of our previous relationship with Evan.

Hey.

So... I spoke with Raisa and Ava.

And...

I respect that you tried to make things right.

I also really love your app.

So if the offer still stands to be your brand influencer,

I'd like to accept.

Yes!

- Yeah, the offer stands. - Tall.

Great!

Well, my manager will be in touch

to iron out all the details.

I'm really excited to start working together.

Us too!

- What just happened? - Zelda's back!

Well, in light of the great news,

I guess we can delay paying Evan back for a little bit.

- Yay! - Yay!

Uh, what did you do for Raisa and Ava?

I, uh, gave them $10,000 of my own money

to compensate for Counter Pro.

I didn't realize how strongly you felt about this.

I think we should all chip in.

I agree.

We... We're a team,

and we're all in this together.

And now we have Zelda!

Yeah, we do.

Hello.

After speaking with Mariana,

I think it would be more professional moving forward

if we work out some sort of quarterly return on my investment.

Say 20% of the profits. Does that sound fair?

Uh, yeah, I guess so.

- Yeah. - Sure.

Good.

So what did you say to Evan?

Remember, we're all in this together?

So I've been trying to be less passive-aggressive,

which is hard.

My ex texted me to see if I changed the password

to the Hulu account we used to share.

Instead of responding that it's time she gets her own account,

I told her the password,

which is "437, I hate you,

"335, Stop being cheap,

886, I'm better at sex than you."

Yeah, turns out there's unlimited characters for passwords.

Didn't bring your guard dog with you?

Shame. She's a feisty one!

Listen, I'll be outta here in, like, two minutes.

If you could just try to keep your mouth shut till then...

Looks like someone found a bark of their own.

All right, put down the bag. Pick up a brush.

I'm not gonna send you home, tail between your legs.

Not when you got a baby on the way.

You can come back to work.

No.

Isabella was right. If you want me back,

I want 50% of the money.

Ho-ho, mate!

What do you even bring to this? You're out of your head.

Am I?

Yuri, when's the last time you picked up a brush?

You're blocked.

You've completely lost your inspiration.

And look, you could try to convince yourself

that I'm just executing your vision.

But the thing is,

what the people love is your new style,

which is me.

That's what I'm bringing to this, Yuri.

And the truth is, you need me way more than I need you.

So... good luck.

25%, not a penny more.

And just to be clear,

you've got a baby coming.

So the truth is,

we need each other.

Then let's get to work!

Created a monster.

Oh, you better keep that girl of yours,

because it seems that she's making a man out of you.

Okay, I'm Alice Kwan. Thank you.

Wow. You were right.

This turned out to be a great gig!

Hi. Hilarious set. Loved it!

Thanks!

My name is Lily Cam. I'm a casting director.

And I'd love you to read for a guest spot

for a half-hour comedy I'm casting.

Seriously?

I... I'd love to!

Amazing! Do you have a rep I should get in touch with?

Actually, she's right here!

This is my manager, Sumi.

Actually, no.

Apparently, I'm not your manager anymore!

Excuse me.

But...

Uh... As it stands,

uh, I... I... I'm, uh, in between representatives right now.

Yeah, um, is there a way you can contact me directly?

Come in.

- Hey. - Hey.

I was just thinking about you.

I'm sorry to show up like this.

I think we need to talk.

Oh, my God, I've got some excit...

♪ Mm-mmm...

♪ Mm-mmm...

You were right.

I was letting Yuri take advantage of me.

And because of you, I negotiated a 25% commission.

That's great!

I still feel like you crossed a major line.

I know. And I'm so sorry.

I know you are.

And I do forgive you.

Look, I'm glad that you and Jaz are friends and all,

but I'd really, really appreciate it

if we didn't involve our families

in our relationship.

Mine will not be a problem, but I can totally do that.

I just don't want to be blindsided.

I'm sorry.

- But hold that thought, okay? - Mm-hmm.

And I will be, um... I will be right back.

I'm sorry.

You went to the farm alone?

Jenna wasn't at the farmer's market. I had to.

Okay, wh... what happened?

Stop! Right there!

Lower the gun, Adam.

Joaquin, I showed you around this afternoon,

but now you're trespassing.

If you step foot on this farm again,

I'll call the sheriffs.

And considering what you've been writing about their deputy gangs,

I'm not sure you want me to do that.

I'm going.

He pulled a gun on you?

- Yeah. Adam did, yeah. - Oh, my God!

You should've heard this guy Silas talk.

He's got, like, all these women living and working there.

It's like he thinks he's some type of guru.

I think... I think Jenna's in a cult.

Yeah, I gotta get to her.

What are you doing here, man?

Came to give you this.

What is it?

It's a restraining order.

I'm being ordered to stay 250 feet away from Jenna.
