How do you feel about Isabella changing her mind?

She's not capable of raising our baby.

What's wrong?

Isabella's gone with the baby.

Maybe we shouldn't tell anybody about us yet.

Luca got his DNA results.

He has an aunt.

Oh! Isn't this why you took that test?

So that you could find someone who could help you

get your birth certificate?

So you can get an ID.

And start working. Maybe even as a dancer.

I'm Jerome Martin, Evan's attorney.

I'm here to inform you that Evan made you his proxy.

I'm the one who went to that farm

without telling anyone.

I'm responsible for him lying in there

and fighting for his life.

It's all so horrible.

Yeah, I can't imagine.

But Evan will pull through this.

And so will you.

What am I gonna do about Speckulate?

You know, Evan had no right

making you proxy without your permission.

- But he did. - Yeah.

H-- How can I go back to that place?

I mean...

None of those bro-holes are gonna take me seriously

as interim CEO.

You don't have to go back to Speckulate.

Mariana, you're under no obligation to do this.

I'm not?

No. Absolutely not.

Just tell his lawyer you don't accept.

You're right. Yeah.

- Okay. That's what I'll do. - Okay.

You look like your mom.

That's her holding you.

Um...

I'm just trying to get a copy of my birth certificate.

I know I was not born in a hospital,

but maybe if I knew where I was born,

that could help.

That's easy enough. You were born in Calgary.

Calgary?

Canada.

Sumi! Mm?

Look what I found in the suggestion box.

Uh... I can't read it

if you keep waving it around like that.

It says, "The manager of this building

has been derelict in her duties."

That's not a suggestion! It's a criticism.

It's so vague and mean.

Who even uses a word like derelict?

Callie.

Callie doesn't live here anymore.

She's here now!

Why would Callie fly 3,000 miles

just to leave an anonymous mean note

about a place she doesn't even live at anymore?

Exactly!

Why would she?

And not a place. A person.

A me.

It's not Callie.

Look, you are an excellent manager.

And no one else has any complaints,

so don't take it personally.

It's not that big of a deal.

Let it go.

Derelict! You're derelict!

Hey, Papa.

So how does it feel to be a father?

Well, did you call the police?

Yeah, and they told me,

in the state of California,

if the parents aren't married,

that the mother has sole legal custody.

So she can just up and leave

and there's nothing I could do.

No, there is.

I'll file an ex parte motion

for determination of parentage.

Then you can petition for custody and visitation.

How long is that gonna take?

I mean, I feel so powerless.

Like, I can't believe that there's nothing I can do right now.

Have you called her parents?

No, they're awful

and the last people she'd want to reach out to.

And I don't wanna give them another thing

to hold over her head.

Gael, it's time you stop protecting Isabella.

Start protecting your daughter

and your rights.

Look, I'd be calling everyone and anyone

who might have any idea where she is.

No matter the consequences to her.

So how's DC? How's-- How's your life?

Oh-- Mm.

Are you really gonna ask me about my life

at a time like this?

God, I just wish I knew where they were

and why Isabella left.

Yeah.

You loved it

when I would rub your forehead like this.

You were always my favorite nanny.

I loved you like you were my own.

- She's so sleepy. - Yeah.

So...

have you thought more about letting Lyric's father know

that you're okay?

He must be worried.

I'm scared.

Why, Bella?

I think that he wants to take her away from me.

Why do you think that?

My parents wanted me

to place the baby for adoption.

But I got scared,

and that's what we eventually decided to do.

But once I had her, I just wanted to keep her.

But...

Gael does not think that I'm...

capable...

of being a mother.

Why would he think that?

I don't know.

Why did you make me your proxy?

I guess I trust you.

You won't.

I can't do this.

What?

Run Speckulate.

I mean, I don't even know why you made me your proxy.

You didn't think that I should be in charge

at Bulk Beauty.

You can do anything you set your mind on.

And you'll have my back.

You know I don't trust some of the people I work with.

Great, so you want me to walk into hostile territory?

Oh, that's a problem for you now?

I wouldn't be lying here

if it wasn't for your stupid decision

to go into hostile territory at the farm.

So whether you want to be my proxy or not

is beside the point

because you owe me.

So tell me about DC. How's working at the ACLU?

It's amazing.

- Yeah? - Mm-hmm. Yeah.

No, it's hard, but, um, so exciting.

And every day is something new.

Okay, so... speaking of new,

are you seeing any new someone special?

Hmm?

No one new. Um, someone old, actually.

Yeah, I'm, uh, back with Jamie.

Okay!

Like, long distance?

No, he got a job in DC too.

Yeah, we were literally on the same plane,

and neither of us knew

that either of us were headed there.

What?

- That's fate! - Yeah.

Hey, you're back.

Um, no, I'm just visiting,

you know, supporting my sister.

Um...

I'm really sorry

that I dragged Mariana into all this.

And Evan and, uh...

I feel terrible.

Oh! I heard you're back.

Listen, I was starting to enjoy--

I mean, um, you know,

getting used to you being gone and everything.

But, uh, welcome.

Thanks.

Hey, Callie! Uh, we heard you're back.

- Yeah. Hi. - Hi.

- Hi. Hi. - Oh, hi.

Why are you so flushed?

- Flushed? Uh... - Um, we were...

- doing aerobics. - Moving furniture.

We had to move the bed to do aerobics.

Mm. That bed's been moving a lot lately.

Oh, good! You're almost all here.

There you go.

What's this?

A survey. About life at the Coterie.

You don't have to put your name down or anything.

Just feel free to speak your truth.

Oh! Ha-ha.

For you.

Uh...

Davia...

"How would you rate the Coterie management?

- And please be..." - Specific.

Yeah.

Of course, I would be derelict in my duties

if I didn't give you one as well.

That's probably a word you use a lot

in the legal world, am I right?

Not really, no.

Um, also, I don't live here anymore.

Well, you did.

Yeah.

So any constructive feedback

is welcome.

Okay.

Why are you passing them out like that?

I made a different typo on each survey.

So when they turn it in,

I'm gonna know exactly who made what complaint.

Pretty genius, huh?

It's pretty something.

Anyway, um...

Yeah, if I can-- If I can help in any way or...

I don't know.

It's okay.

Mm.

I know it must've been traumatic

for you and your sister.

So...

How is she?

Uh, she's-- She's okay.

We haven't seen her up here at all.

Yeah, she's just, uh, just laying low.

It's, uh, it's really good you're here.

I wonder how all this is gonna...

affect their relationship.

Oh! I don't wanna get in the middle.

If Mariana hasn't told you

that she and Joaquin are riding the baloney pony,

then I don't want you to hear it from me.

I had a little thing for Joaquin once.

Dodged a bullet there.

Oh, my God. Literally.

♪ Is there anybody out there? Mm-hmm ♪

♪ Can anybody hear me? Mm-hmm ♪

♪ Am I livin' in a nightmare? Mm-hmm ♪

♪ I feel the darkness is creeping up slowly ♪

MAN [over phone]: Hello.

Mr. Tavez. This is Gael Martinez.

MR. TAVEZ [over phone]: Yes, Gael.

What's Isabella done now?

Isabella had the baby a few days ago.

But now she's taken her, and I don't know where they are.

Has she reached out to you at all?

She hasn't.

But I'm not surprised

she would do something crazy like this.

We tried to warn you.

She's not well.

She's not... well

because you and your wife are shitty parents.

You're-- You're-- You're narcissists

who abandoned her as a child

and-- and left her with nannies.

You never loved or nurtured her.

You're just cold and unforgiving,

and she grew up feeling unlovable.

If anyone shouldn't have been parents,

it's you and your wife.

Anything else?

Yeah.

If anything happens to my baby daughter,

I will hold you responsible.

♪ Save me

♪ Save me

♪ Is anybody out there?

Hey, how'd it go with your aunt?

Hey. Um, good.

She's-- She's really nice.

Is she gonna help you get your birth certificate?

Yeah.

Yeah, um...

She actually offered to take me in.

She's got a house, uh, with an extra room.

So you're leaving the Coterie?

Um...

Yeah. You know, if I go live with her,

you know, I won't have to worry about rent.

It just makes sense.

Well, did she explain to you why she didn't take you in

when your parents died?

Yeah.

We're good. She explained everything.

But I-- I should probably go pack.

She's gonna be here soon.

But if I don't get a chance...

can you just tell everyone

how much I appreciate everything

you've all done for me?

Especially you.

Yeah, sure.

I mean, you'll keep in touch, right?

Yeah.

Yeah, of course. Of course.

Uh-huh.

You look like you've been watching The Fox and the Hound again.

Luca's moving in with his aunt.

Wha--

That's sudden.

Yeah.

It is.

Hey.

So did you talk to Evan's lawyer?

Yes.

I'm gonna do it.

I'm gonna be Evan's proxy.

Why?

Because I owe him.

You know, it was his decision

to go to the farm with Joaquin.

Yeah, because it was my stupid decision

to go there in the first place.

Hmm. I'm not gonna argue with you on that.

Says the person who got in a van with a pimp.

Yeah, I was 16.

And you're a grown adult,

making decisions based off of who you're sleeping with.

Excuse me?

Yeah, I know that you're screwing Joaquin.

Screwing?

What is this, the 1950s?

Yeah, that's why you went to the farm.

To help your boyfriend.

He's not my boyfriend.

And-- And we weren't screwing anymore.

Why? 'Cause you're still in love with Evan?

Isn't that why you're agreeing to go run Speckulate?

God, Mariana, can you just make one decision

that doesn't involve your feelings for a boy?

You practically moved to DC to be with Jamie.

No, I had no idea that he was moving to DC.

And I didn't get Jamie shot.

I'm sorry.

That was a low blow. I didn't mean it.

It's true.

It's not. It's not.

That could've been you.

You know, you could be the one in that bed,

hooked up on machines, fighting for your life.

Or worse, I could've lost you.

I wish it was me

instead of Evan.

That way, this guilt wouldn't be eating me up inside.

Look, I-- I know that you think

that I have a choice, but I don't.

If-- If I don't do something,

if I don't make amends somehow,

I'm just gonna crumble under the weight of all this guilt.

So please just either support me in this,

or leave.

Again.

Okay.

Okay. I'm sorry.

Hey, if you need to do this,

I will support you, of course.

All right.

So the first thing we need to do

is we need to call Evan's lawyer

and just get you up to speed

on everything that's been happening at Speckulate.

Yeah, so you can just walk in there

as prepared as possible.

- Okay. - Okay.

- Thank you. - Yeah.

I'm sorry.

- I'm sorry. That was mean. - That was way too soon.

That was so mean, I'm sorry.

It's just-- You scared me.

Moment of truth.

Wait. No one filled these out?

Obviously, no one has a problem.

So why are you obsessing?

Because maybe I think I have dropped the ball.

I've been so focused on my career and

I know I haven't been doing as good a job

since I stopped providing free toilet paper.

You mean stopped letting people take advantage of you?

It's more than that.

What if I failed everyone?

I mean,

if you sincerely think that, then...

just try harder

instead of fixating on that stupid note

or who wrote it.

Did you write it?

Oh, my God!

Sneaky woman.

Sexy, sneaky woman.

When is your aunt coming?

Oh, um, any minute now.

Well, I'll walk you down. I'd love to meet her.

You're not moving in with your aunt, are you?

You're going back to the streets.

I, um,

found out that I was born in Canada.

So, um,

my parents are Canadian citizens,

which means that, uh,

I'm not even here

legally.

So I can never get an ID

or a job.

And, um, I just can't keep staying here,

you know, taking advantage of you guys,

your kindness and, like, your generosity.

I mean, I just wish I'd never gotten my hopes up.

I mean, I-- I know-- I know better.

Hope is dangerous.

I know that you've had to go through things

that nobody ever should,

and that today has been a major setback

in a string of never-ending setbacks.

But why is this the one that makes you give up?

Why do you feel like you have to go back to the street

and fight that fight?

Why can't you stay here and fight this fight?

With us helping you.

I finally got her to sleep.

You called her?

No. Gael called us.

He was looking for you.

I thought you might be here.

You need some support, Bella.

From them?

They didn't even want me to have the baby.

Isabella, please.

Can I come in and just talk to you?

I'm not giving her up.

I'm not here to ask you to.

I'll give you some space.

Sí. Gracias.

- Gracias. - Sí.

Where's the baby?

Sleeping.

Can we please sit down?

I know we weren't the most attentive parents.

We were gone too much,

traveling, for your father's business.

We should've taken you with us.

We were selfish.

I wanted to say that I...

I'm sorry.

Your father and I both are.

We haven't taken responsibility

for how that affected you.

And we haven't been understanding.

But we do love you.

And we don't want to be estranged.

We'd like a chance to be better parents

and grandparents.

Excuse me.

She's beautiful.

May I hold her?

Yeah.

What's her name?

Lyric.

What a pretty name.

Don't worry.

Your father and I will take care of you both now.

We'll raise this baby together.

I can help you get an immigration attorney.

There are protections

because you were brought here as a baby

and then you were in foster care.

- Thank you. - Yeah.

Yeah, I think we need another attorney

to move into the Coterie.

Feels so nice to be loved just for me.

Any word from Isabella?

No.

So I guess the lack of responses to my survey

means no complaints or suggestions.

I got a complaint.

There was a typo on my survey.

Well, I can do better.

I made a to-do list of repairs,

and I'm gonna bring back salons

and community service events

that I know all of you love.

And improv classes.

Dennis?

I'm in.

Yes and. Yes and.

Well, that's not all on you.

You know, we're all responsible for the community.

Yeah, we can all do better.

And we really appreciate you.

Hear! Hear! And cheers!

You were right.

What do you think?

Now's a perfect time.

So, um,

Davia and I have an announcement to make.

Is it that you're screwing? Because we know.

See, people do say that.

Wait, we do know?

Y'all have been having sex nonstop for days.

Oh, my God, you guys almost knocked down the kitchen wall!

Yes, the shower!

We are not just screwing.

We're in love.

Ugh.

You guys are gonna make me sick.

Well, this is so exciting.

So amazing.

Finally!

To Denvia.

To Denvia!

Ugh, I wish you didn't have to leave tomorrow.

Me too.

I have to get back. Work is so hectic.

Well, Jamie better be taking good care of you.

How are things going with him?

So my client insists

on bringing this cat to court.

And then guess who is allergic

to said cat?

Like, deathly allergic?

The judge, of course.

It's crazy.

What? Do I have, uh... Is there something on my teeth?

Hello? Earth to Jamie.

You're so beautiful.

Okay. What-- What's going on with you?

Is it the-- the antitrust case, again?

'Cause I thought we're leaving that at work.

What are you doing?

Don't freak out.

Oh, okay.

Callie...

You're the love of my life.

My joy.

My favorite client.

I've loved you since the day I met you

in your-- in your mom's backyard

and you gave me such a hard time.

I wanna...

I wanna share every sunrise and sunset with you.

I wanna support you in achieving your dreams.

I wanna have a family and grow old together.

You're my-- my heart, my soul, my everything.

Callie Adams Foster,

will you make me the happiest man alive?

Will you marry me?

Everything's good.

Oh, you're back.

I'm not.

I'm not staying.

I saw my mom.

And?

And...

she apologized.

Yeah.

She said that they love me

and that they want to raise Lyric with me.

I mean...

she said all the things

I've dreamt of her saying my whole life.

Okay.

I always thought

that if they told me that they loved me

and that they approved of me, that...

all this-- this pain would just go away, you know,

and I would just suddenly love myself.

And it-- it's just-- It's not that easy.

Because even if they meant it,

I'm still programmed to feel worthless

and-- and insecure.

And words can't undo the broken parts of me.

I need help.

I need real help.

And until then,

I'm not ready to be a mother.

And I don't want my parents anywhere near this baby.

I'm not gonna force you to co-parent

or make an adoption plan.

That wasn't fair.

It's-- It's up to you what you want to do.

All I know is that...

this little girl is so lucky

to have you as her dad.

I don't know what to say.

Just...

every now and then, remind her that I love her?

Of course.

Hey!

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.

What the--

It was you!

Oh, yeah. I did write that.

What did I do that was so derelict? Huh?

Not everything's about you.

I wrote that when you were on tour,

when Sumi was the manager.

You thought I did a bad job

running the Coterie?

Oh, yeah.

I should have been made Coterie manager.

Nice!

It wasn't about me after all.

I thought I was a very attentive manager.

Hospitable, accommodating, yet firm.

I mean, that is so not fair and vague.

I mean, what about some constructive criticism?

Like a wise person once said to me,

try not to take it too personally.

It's not a big deal.

Here's another one.

Your mother was probably about 16 there.

Her dream was to be a professional dancer.

Good. Travel back.

You're back!

Did you fill out the application?

Um...

No.

I-- So I don't have an ID

or, like, a social security card,

so I can't actually...

I actually ran away from a really bad foster home

when I was 14.

And up until recently,

I've been living on the streets.

And, you know, my-- my dream--

my dream is just to dance.

And so I was just wondering--

I was wondering if I could just

do some work around the studio.

I mean, cleaning--

Honestly, anything you need around here

in exchange for some classes.

Yeah, man, that's cool.

I think we can work something out.

Oh.

Hey.

Hello.

Good morning. I'm Miles, Evan's assistant.

- Or your assistant now, I-- I guess. - Morning.

I'd like to set a meeting this afternoon with Blue Team

to get an update on their Wezap beta build.

Let Red Team know that I need code analytics.

And get me the latest financial metrics

on the new Metro app.

Oh, uh, not in there.

Uh, Evan moved his office, uh, to be more accessible.

It's down here.

Oh. Good idea.

Hm. Nice to see the gender gap's closed a bit.

Thank you.

CALLIE [over phone]: You know, I don't know what it looked like,

but you sounded like a boss.

Yeah, well, I was hoping for a little bit more privacy.

It's like I'm in a fishbowl.

Well, luckily, you're a good swimmer.

Hey, I'm proud of you.

Have a safe flight.

And... thank you for coming.

I love you.

I love you too.

Mariana.

I'm Dylan Almendros.

I'm Evan's Chief Communications Officer

and a board member.

Just... popping in to say hello

and, uh, welcome back, I guess.

Thank you.

You know, we were all just shocked

to hear that Evan was shot

and-- and in critical condition,

um, but we haven't been able

to get much more information than that.

Do you know the details?

You should know, going in as interim CEO,

there's been quite a bit of tension

brewing between Evan and the Board.

Meaning the less you divulge to anyone

regarding the shooting and your involvement,

the better.

I really don't.

Uh, any questions should be directed to Evan's lawyer.

Mm.

Will do.

Uh, heads-up,

the company is under contractual obligation

to give you 30 days as interim CEO.

After that, the Board will initiate a vote of no confidence.

And if the majority thinks

you're unfit to run the company,

you're out.

Good luck.
