Previously on
Generation Q...

Sophie came to Ojai.

-What was that like?
- It was strange,

and then fine,
like nothing had happened.

And when it was over,
I was relieved.

I think we dodged a bullet,
you and me.

Thanks for understanding.

You're just such
a good friend.

[Tess] If she says
she wants to be just friends,

you should take her
at her word.

People can change,
though, right?

They can,
but they rarely do.

I was gonna surprise Nat
with a fancy dinner.

She called
and cancelled on me.

I think she's nuts

for not trying to work things
out with you.

You're not so bad yourself.

Oh, my God. I'm sorry.

-I'm seeing someone.
-[Shane] Oh.

Cherie, this is Shane.

We've actually met before.

Of course you have.

I want you to join the gallery.

Why would I do that?

Isaac Zakarian is a racist.

Because I will represent you.

I can't work with you.

I'm really happy
for you and Bette.

I'm glad that she found someone
who is kind and funny.

I'm just not sure it's
gonna work out with us.

Yesterday I was your girlfriend,

and today I'm no one?

Check her out. I'm moving on.

Are you hitting on me?

If my feelings change,
I will let you know.

Gonna let me in?

Boombadoombadoom, bae

Ah, ya, ya, yeah

Ah, ya, ee

How are you gonna
turn it up for me

Turn it up for me

How are you gonna
turn it up for me

Turn it up for me

How are you gonna
turn it up for me

Turn it up for me

How are you gonna
turn it up for me

Okay,
I think that was three miles.

Probably more.
- Probably.

So, what's going on at work?

I convinced the board to invest
in all these not-for-profits.

Yeah?

We're setting up partnerships
and endowments and...

-That's huge.
- Yeah.

They were clearly shocked
I had plans to do anything.

Thought I was just gonna
be my dad's puppet, which--

-Oh, cute.

Thank you.
- Maybe I should get a dog.

No, my new floors are too nice.

I got to tell you something,
but you got to not freak out.

Okay, but bear in mind

that my dad recently
got arrested

and my fiancée
left me at the altar,

so I can't take too much more.

Yeah, yeah, uh,
well, I slept with a woman.

Shut up.

Yeah. I, uh, I did. Yeah.

I thought you were gay.

Same. Me, too.

And I thought I was special.

You're obviously
the most special.

It was Maribel.

-Okay.
- Sorry. Sorry. Sorry, but what?

Was it good?

Was it weird because
she's my ex-fiancée's sister?

Was she better than me?

Huh?

It was good. Yeah, it was.

Oh, my God.

But she hasn't spoken to me,

and it's been like a week.

-Oh, my God.
- What?

You like her.

You have to tell her.

We'll see about that.

I've actually been having
this, like,

pseudosexual friendship
with Gigi.

Okay. All right.
Good for you. Wow.

Yeah.

Ever since we saw my dad
getting arrested, it's like...

I think about her and
I want to be near her, but...

That-that is textbook
trauma bonding, right there.

I hate how quickly
you analyze me.

Can I meet her?

-Sure, you can meet her.
- Yeah?

-Yeah. Yeah.
- Okay.

What do you want to do?

Just go to Dana's,
just the whole gang?

-Yeah. Please.
- No.

No, I-I can't just
show up there.

Yes, you can.

Dani, those spaces are

just as much yours
as they are Sophie's.

It's not just Sophie.

-It's Finley, too.
- Yeah, but she's not--

I mean, I don't think
I'd punch her again,

but it's possible, you know?

You know
I'm bringing bombastic

I'm feeling
fucking fantastic

Turn up the music,
yeah, blast it

You know I'm playing like

Thank you so much, everybody.

-Good night. Thank you.

-Oh. Okay.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Oh, just another day at work.

Okay, get me out of this thing.
Get me out.

-Mm-hmm. Free me, please.
- Put your arms up.

Just gonna get--
Get it off. I got to pee.

-Okay.
- There you go.

-Right. Hey.
- Hey.

Hey. Oh,

I didn't cry in the shower
this morning.

-Oh, that is great news.
- Yeah.

And, uh, I haven't seen Finley
in, like, a week, so...

-Oh, is she still avoiding you?
- Yup.

Oh, God. Hey, maybe she'll be
at Dana's

-for the karaoke party.
- Oh, God.

I was hoping you'd forgotten
you invited me to that.

What? No, never.
We're gonna have a good time.

It's gonna be casual,
it's gonna be fun.

I'm actually thinking
of inviting Tom.

-Tom, the editor?

Yeah. Well, we had a little bit
of a bonding experience

over shellfish the other night.

Okay, as you do.

So, what--
are you gonna ask him out?

No. No, no, no, no,
no, no, no.

Why not?

-Eh, maybe, huh.
- That was quick.

-Okay, I got to get to post.
- Yeah.

I'll get you a rough cut
by the end of the week, okay?

-Okay, amazing.
- All right. See you later.

No, I'll see you tonight.

-Hoping you'll forget.
- I definitely won't.

You know who I be, step on the
scene and my flow too clean

Wild for the night
only mean one thing

Chilling with my girls
and we cut loose strings

Pull up, yeah,
we down for whatever

Aiming for the cheddar

Thank you so much
for coming in tonight.

I hope I didn't
ruin anything special.

Oh, no.

The Man vs. Wild marathon
can wait.

I'll hang with Britt tomorrow.

Uh, why don't you tell them
to come tonight?

Oh, shit.

Maybe I should.
I'm sure they'd have fun.

Plus, with my discount, I'd save
a couple bucks on a date.

Again, you don't get a discount
and neither do your friends.

Eh, we'll see about that.

It is very exciting
that you're moving on, though.

God, I know.
I feel so good about it.

Britt's great.

I don't know if I'm gonna
marry them or anything,

but they're nice,
they're fun.

I feel like I'm finally
moving on from Sophie, you know?

Who is here, right?
That's not, like, a mirage?

Uh, yeah, that's her.

-Great. It's... great.
- It's okay.

Yeah.

I was very drunk last time--

-Ooh, thank you.
- Here you go.

-You're welcome.

Yeah, but then I just realized,
you know, Sophie was right.

Oh, I love hearing that.

Yeah, and I just
sent Tom a, you know,

-a casual text.
- Good.

I mean, I haven't heard back.

What'd you text?

-"Thinking of you."
Oh...

-Honey.
Really? Is that bad?

Okay, it's bad.

It's just so...

What-- boring, pathetic?

-Lame? Oh, God.
- Basic.

-Okay.
- Oh, shit.

She is here.

Now's your chance.

-Is it?
Listen.

No drama tonight, please.

Okay. I promise.

-Um...
-Do you know how to do this?

She loo-- Okay,
she needs my help. I'm just...

-I'm gonna go over there.
Oh, I'm sure--

-Yeah, she looks desperate.
- I got to pee, so

-I'm gonna come with you.
- Just say, "Thinking of you,"

when you see her,
really works well.

Okay.

Yes, it's the we-e-k-end...

You're like a nana.
"No drama."

Would you want that
in your bar? I...

No. No, no, no.
I totally get that.

Hey!

-Hi.
- Hi, hi, hi.

Oh.

I did my vocal warm-ups
in the car.

I'm actually really sad
I missed that.

Um, I have good news
for both of you.

I am not singing tonight.

-Yes, you are.
- Yes, you are.

No, I'm not.
Hey, do you want to try

that new drink
Tess put on the menu?

-If it's bourbon.
- Ah, Sarah. Hi.

-Thank you. Thank you.
- I'm so happy to be here.

There's no other place
on Earth I'd rather be.

-That was really believable.
- Here you go.

I just--
I hate chasing people down.

I feel like
that's what I do all day.

Yeah, I get it.
It's very demoralizing.

Who are you chasing?

'Cause I know it's not Gigi.

Just all the artists
I want to work with.

The rebels, the disrupters,
the game changers.

I mean... none of them
want to join Zakarian.

Pippa still won't sign with you?

She won't even
take a meeting with me.

What, she's not susceptible
to your charm?

Well...

Wow.

-You're attracted to her.
- No.

It's just that, um...

She's everything.

-Wow.
- Yeah.

Look, I get it.

I am also trying to bone
somebody I work with.

I'm not trying to bone her.

I'm just trying
to work with her.

Mm.

She has a group show tonight
with her students.

I think maybe I should go.

-Tonight?
- Tonight?

Yeah, but I don't want her
to feel like I'm stalking her.

No.
All right, here.

why don't you just stay here
and try to enjoy yourself?

All right, all right.

I will, I will.

All right,
where's the songbook?

Oh, you don't need it.

I've already made the selection.

-Maybe I won't be here.
- You're singing.

upbeat club music

muffled singing

Why is this so hard right now?

Um, I think that you...

you only need one XLR cable.

I think you have a bunch here.

Uh...

Okay.

-Um... Oh.
- Oh. Sorry.

You're fine.

How do you know
how to do all this stuff?

Well, when I made
a bunch of small movies,

I had to learn how to do

a little bit
of everything, you know?

Master of none.

-Oh.
- Sorry.

-Oh.
-My bad. Sorry.

Aw, you're fine.
You're totally fine.

It's, uh, like when
you're on an airplane,

and you're sitting in window,
but you got to pee.

The guy in the middle is like,

"Oh, no, please,
just, like, go right ahead."

Okay.

-Look at my butt or my vagina?

Butt. Always butt.

-Really?
-Yeah.

You don't want to give
your poom poom to a stranger.

-Ooh, there she is.

Yup.

Okay. Here. Thank you.

I got it.

It's fine.

Um...

I'm sorry if it's weird
that I'm here.

-I just, like... and you
- No, it's not your fault,

-never work Thursdays, so...
- and I never work Thursdays.

-Are you avoiding me?

Me? No. No.

Of course not.
I'm just, uh--

Okay.

Okay.

Okay. See ya.

Goddamn.

She's hitting on me.

Who is?

Sophie.

Coming on to me.
Like, like, hard.

Okay, but, isn't that
a good thing?

No. It's confusing
is what it is.

And now I'm, like,
I'm sweating

and I didn't
wear deodorant today.

I didn't think I was working.

And...

I wear it sometimes.

Sweetie, I know that
this is hard for you.

Yeah, she just came in
and just started, like,

fucking hooking up
"hexlar" cables

like some sort of
cable goddess.

-It's like...
- X-- XLR cables.

Whatever.
I know tools, not cables,

but I didn't need her help.
I had it.

Of course you didn't.

How are you supposed
to get over someone

when they're just
around all the time?

That I don't know.

She's got to pick a side, right?

Shit or get off the pot,

or some saying
that makes sense here.

Why don't you talk to her?

-Tell her to back off a little.
- Yeah.

Yeah, I will.

Maybe.

I'll think about it. Later.

It's not looking good.

Okay.

Oh.

I'm gonna take this.

-Hi.
- Just gonna talk to her,

and say, "Yeah, Sophie,
stop hitting on me.

Not in my bar."

Shane's bar. Whatever.

You can find me in the club

Yeah, but if I were
running or something.

I know.
- They would dissipate.

-Everything is okay, but...
- Guys. Guys. Guys.

-What?
- Um...

Cherie Jaffe came by
the other night.

-What do you mean?
- What?

Wait, came by where?

Here.

For what?

At first to see Tess,

and then later on she came by
alone to see me.

Oh... Does Tess know?

Are you gonna tell her?

I mean, no.
Nothing happened.

-Really? Like-- Okay.
- Yeah, Alice. Really.

Well, uh, something
must have happened

or else you wouldn't
have brought it up.

Forget it, forget it, forget it.

-Okay.
Anyway, Bette.

How's Gigi?
Tell me all about it.

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

Over that fast?

-Yeah.

Uh-- Wow.
She ruins everything.

That was fast.
- I mean, I don't know

that it ever really started,
you know.

I mean, it wasn't,
like, this epic meeting

of the minds or anything.

-Does she know that?
- Oh, I'm sure she does.

Did you talk to her about it?
Because she loves

to talk about things,
like, feelings.

And I know how much
you hate those.

Yeah. I do.

But I'm right, right?
It's a lot of...

Ad nauseam.

upbeat club music

She's avoiding me.

She is definitely avoiding me.

Well, did you tell her
how you feel?

-Well, no.

Uh, well,
I will tell her that.

Later. I don't know.
I'll think about it.

What song should we sing?

Bitch, I ain't singing
no damn karaoke song, okay?

This voice is reserved
for the shower.

What? You can
actually sing, though.

There's not enough liquor
in the whole damn world

to get me to sing up there
in front of Alice and...

Oh... Dani.

Nobody's telling you
to sing in front of Dani.

No, Dani is here.

She is right there.

-Oh, God.

You good?

Yeah. Of course. Why?

-Oh, God.
- Hey, hey, it's gonna be okay.

All right? It's gonna be great.

All right, she's just gonna...

Fuck me.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that
our Lyft is still outside

-waiting for my rating, so...
- No. No.

What happened to you two
reclaiming your space?

You know what, you're right.
We are.

We definitely are. We are.

Attaboy.

Just gonna go in
and confront it head on.

Well, you're a better
person than me.

-Meet you at the bar.
- Yup.

-You're fine. Come on.

You're good.

Is he actually coming over?

-Yeah. Why are you freaking out?
- I slept with him.

-What?! You slept with him?
- Yes. I slept with him.

-You didn't tell me anything?
- I know. Shh, shh!

Micah. You're here.

Hi. Yeah, I-I'm here.

Wow, this is just great.
This is great.

I mean, this is just so great.

Are you-are you being weird?

-Hmm?
- Do you know something?

-Uh...
- Okay.

-Hi.
- Hi.

Hi. Hello. Yes, hi. Um, hi.

Uh, let me know
if you guys need anything.

Oh, no. We're good.
Thank you so much, though.

Thank you for asking.

Okay, so,
I actually need something.

I need you to be nice
to Dani tonight.

-Dani's here?
- She is.

Yeah. Yeah, uh,

and can she just have, like,
a nice night out?

You know, we can all
try to be civilized.

She gonna punch me
in the face again? Be honest.

She hasn't been able
to rule that out.

-Copy.
-Um...

But you're gonna be nice
to her, right?

-So...
- Yeah. God, yeah. Of course.

Yeah. Same.

Okay, just not...
not too nice, you know,

Okay, I get it.

Everybody's gonna be normal
because there's nothing

to be weird about
with any of us, right?

-Right. Yeah, right.
- Yeah. Yeah.

-Exactly.
- Right. Okay. I'm--

Let me know if you guys
need anything.

And if Dani's gonna
punch in me in the face,

just give me a high sign.

-That would help.
- Sure. Yeah.

-This was great.
- Cool.

Um...

Oh, dang. Hello?

Oh, hell. Hold on.
I'm getting a phone call.

What are--
That's not even a phone.

-What?
- What are you talking about?

G-- No, what are you...

So, I haven't heard from you.

Yeah, there's been
a crisis at the border,

so kind of been, you know,
doing my lawyer thing most days.

Yeah. Right.

-Yeah.
- Yeah, um...

Well, do you want to grab lunch

-sometime this week?
- I have work.

Right. That makes sense. Yeah.

Do you want a drink?

You have one.

That's great.
That's... that's awesome. Um...

Just gonna check this out
over here.

What's up, everybody?

Welcome to Dana's
first ever karaoke night.

-Okay, um...
- First up, to start us off,

-let's give it up for Alice...
- Uh, yeah. Uh, you, there.

-You, there.
-...Bette,

-and our boss...
- Oh, okay. Yeah. I'm sorry.

-...Shane.
- Yep. You go in the middle.

-All right. What are we singing?
- You're the bro--

uh, the brown hair.

-You're the guy.
- Why am I the guy?

I'm always the guy.
Oh, my God.

-Oh, fuck.

Seriously? All right,
all right, all right.

-Okay, okay, okay. I'm the guy?
- Okay.

-Yes, you're the guy.
- Yes, yes, yes.

-All right.
- Ready?

If you see a faded sign
at the side of the road

That says 15 miles to the

Love shack

Love shack, yeah, yeah

Well, I'm headed down

The Atlanta highway

Looking for the love getaway

Headed for the love getaway

I got me a car,
it's as big as a whale

And we're heading on down
to the love shack

I got me a Chrysler,
it seats about 20

So hurry up and bring
your jukebox money

The love shack is
a little old place

- Where we can get together

Love shack, baby

A love shack, baby

Love shack, baby,
love shack

Love shack, baby, love shack

That's where it's at

Sign says

- Whoo
- "Stay away, fools"

'Cause love rules
at the love shack

Well, it's set way back
in the middle of a field

Just a funky old shack
and I want to get back...

It's amazing
how the ego takes a hit

even if you know
somebody isn't right for you.

Yep.

How are you feeling
about Sophie?

Um...

Fine.

Good. Yeah. Ojai was good.

Or not good, but, um...

Closure can be powerful.

Yes. It was, and now I'm...

...I'm good.

-Cheers.
- Cheers.

I'm out of breath.

-It's the "bang bang."
Okay.

You ready?
Yeah.

Bang, bang, bang

On the door, baby

Knock a little louder, sugar

Bang, bang, bang
on the door, baby

I can't hear you

Bang, bang,
bang on the door, baby

Bang, bang, bang
on the door, baby

Bang, bang

Bang, bang

Your what?

Tin roof, rusted

Love shack,
baby, love shack

Love shack, baby,
love shack

Love shack, baby, love shack

Oh, my God.
That was so fun.

That was Alice, Bette and Shane.

-Did you get your needs met?
- Oh, my God. He's here.

-It's Tom.
Oh, that's Tom?

He came. He came.

Okay...

Look at that.

50 bucks,
they sleep together tonight.

Oh, I do not want to spend
any time picturing that.

Ah. Well.
Let's never do this again.

Yes. Never. Nice job.

Nice work.

Heidi!

Bette.
- Hey.

You were so good.

-You're such a liar.
- Oh, come on.

-I don't lie to you.
- What, do you think

we should
take it out on the road?

-Is that what you're saying?
- Well, I think

if you would've sang
on the campaign trail,

-we might've won it.
- Yeah, right.

-I don't know about that.

I'm so glad to see you.

-I've missed you.
- Well, good.

Because, um, I've been working
on something for us.

What do you mean?

It's too early to say,

but I think you'll be pleased.

-Really?
- Mm-hmm.

Okay.

One way or another

I'm gonna find ya

I'm gonna getcha,
getcha, getcha, getcha...

You were so right.
People love karaoke.

I had no idea.

One way or another...

Can I ask you a question?

Yeah. Of course.

Why did Cherie break up
with me?

What?

Cherie broke up with me,
and I think

it has something to do with you.

Tess, I'm-I'm sorry,

but I don't know what
that would have to do with me.

She said it was "messy,"

so she was gonna take herself
"out of the mix."

I don't know
why she would say that.

One way or another...

I'm just gonna ask you this,

like, just straight up,
did you sleep with her?

No.

Tess, come on.

I do a lot
of shitty things, but no.

I did not. Is that...

Did she tell you that?

I'm calling bullshit.

Tess, come on. Seriously?

-Yeah, seriously. Like...
- Come on.

You just, you have this look
on your face,

and I feel like
you're lying to me,

-and I just, I hate
- I'm not lying.

-being lied to.
- I'm-- I'm not...

I am not lying to you.

But something is different.
Like, something happened.

-I don't know what,
- Nothing happened.

but I legit feel like I'm going

-a little bit crazy, here, okay?
- You're not crazy, Tess,

-but nothing happened.
- Okay, then--

Then will you tell me
what's going on?

Oh, my God.

-You're not gonna change,
- No, no, no. Tess. Tess.

and it was so stupid of me
to expect you to.

-I just-- I can't-- No, please.
- Tess, come here.

-Can you just not touch me?
- Okay. All right.

I...

I'm done.

somber music

Fuck.

Thank you.

Hi. Fancy seeing you here.

Hi, Gigi.

That old dog has chained you
up all right

Give you everything
you need...

You want to meet me
in the bathroom in five?

-For old time's sake?

-Um, listen, I...
I'm kidding.

-Yeah.
- I mean, don't get me wrong,

I do think there is a world

where we are fucking
in the bathroom right now.

Oh. Funny.

Daylight comes

Make sure you were smiling
and warm...

What went so wrong with us,
Bette?

Do you really want
to talk about this...

-Yeah. I do. Yeah.
-...right now? Now?

Okay.

Um...

I-I think we both know

that we're-we're not right
for each other.

I'm curious about
your perspective.

I think I need more.

This monkey can't stand
to see you black and blue

I give you...

Do you really think
there's someone out there

who checks all your boxes,
Bette?

As a matter of fact,
I know there is.

-Good night, Gigi.
- Good night.

Don't say you'll stay
'cause then you go away

Damn, I wish I was
your lover

I'd rock you...

It was the wedding from hell.

It was?
- Yeah.

It was like the wedding
of my nightmares.

Oh, God. I can only imagine.

My nightmares are usually
about spiders, but...

Her great-aunt Gilda
kept congratulating me.

"There he is.

There's that handsome groom."

-That's really funny. Come on.
- Is it really?

She called me handsome,
so that's cool, I guess.

Well, you are. You are.

Look,
you've got your little tie,

and then your little buttons,

and some flowers--
It's good.

-Really?
- Very handsome. Yeah.

Thank you.
I've been fasting.

That's probably
what you're seeing.

Oh, yeah.
That's what it is.

This is all Master Cleanse.

Oh, nice.

How fucked-up is that,

that I'm still trying
to look good for her, though?

Tom, we all want to look good
for our exes.

-It's very common. Relax.
- Oh.

-Yeah. Normal.
- They looked great.

-Mm.
- You know, they looked so happy.

And there I was, the only person
at the wedding...

single.

I take that back.
Gilda's single, too.

-Don't ask me how I know that.
- Right.

Well, I am really,
really, really, really,

-really glad you showed up.
- Really?

Yeah. I was texting you and,
like, I didn't know

-if you were getting...
- Oh, my God.

-What?
- I was so happy when you texted.

-You-- Really?
- Absolutely.

You have the best timing ever.

They were about
to do the first dance,

and that's a bit of
a trigger for me,

seeing as their song was
"our" song when we dated.

-No?
- Yes.

The same s--
She used the same song?

The exact same song.

-Ew.
- Yeah.

-That's what I'm talking about.
- I don't like her.

I don't like her, either.

Anyway, your text was
right on time.

It was easy for me to get
out of there.

I was like,
"I have a client

who has a bit of
a book emergency,

so I'm-a have to go."

A client?

Well, client just sounds
more urgent than friend.

-Right?
- Y-Yeah. That totally does...

-And they bought it, too.
- Yeah.

So thank you.
You are a good friend.

Well, you are very welcome.

That is what friends are for.

Well, speaking of friends...

-Speaking of friends...
- What?

Anyone caught your eye?

-That's hard to tell.
- Oh, yeah?

Mm-hmm.

Gilda said I'm a great wingman,

-so...
- Okay.

You throw me
in the game, Coach,

-I'm-a play.
- Oh, I would like to see that.

-Oh, yeah?
- You think you can help?

I-- All I got to do is hit
the dance floor, and it's on.

-Please show me techniques.
- You want to see the magic?

I'm-a go out to the dance floor.

-Okay.
- You want to come with me?

No, I want to watch.

Okay, well, I'm-a go out
to the dance floor,

and when I get back,
I'm-a have a plethora

of lovely ladies for you.
You ready?

I'm... Show me. Yes.

-There it is.

Come on, give me
what I need

Yeah, promises
are never easy...

Yeah, fun fact.

Maribel never wants
to speak to me again.

-She didn't say that.
- No,

but she basically said

that she has to solve
the crisis at the border

-and then-- then,

maybe she'll have time
to date me.

If I'm lucky.

Well, maybe she panicked.

Couldn't say
what she really meant.

Or she thinks she made
a giant-ass mistake,

and I'm gonna just die
on my own.

-So, uh, full...
- Oh, no, no. No, you won't.

Come on. Look.

That guy has been staring at you
for, like, five minutes.

You know, he's probably straight
and is hoping you are, too.

Okay.

Not to bolster the stereotype,

but he did sing
a Kelly Clarkson medley earlier.

Oh. Okay.

Go talk to him.

Go, go on.

You got this.

-Sorry.
- Oh, God. Thank you.

Okay.

How'd it go?

You look like it went well.

Yeah, it was fucking great.

Here you go.

Oh, I didn't order that.

It's from her.

You gonna talk to her?

I probably should.

Fuck. Come on, Tess, come on.

...and I really
don't need your ass

-in my face...
It's Tess.

Leave a message
or try me at Dana's.

Fuck.

Uh, hi.

Okay, I'm just gonna say it
again, I love you.

I think I've always
loved you, and...

be with me.

Fuck.

Finley,
what are you doing?

-Hey, sorry. Uh...
- What?

I'm practicing telling Sophie

to stop messing with my head,

or something like that.
It's not going well.

Okay. Um, I'm sorry.

But listen, um...

Tess, she had to go home early,

so, uh...
I desperately need

-your help in there.
- Oh, yeah.

No problem, boss. Is she okay?

Yeah. Yeah.
No, she's fine. She's fine.

It's just, you know...

-Yep. Got it. Got it. Of course.
- Okay. Got to get that done.

-You know what I mean?
- Oh, and, uh, I fed the rats.

So you don't need to worry
about that.

Fuck.

So, here we are using pen

and ink on canvas.

It's, you know, it was such
a slick idea, when...

Hold on a moment.

Um, I'm-a be right back.

Uh, this is not the appropriate
time or place for another pitch.

I-I completely agree.

Do not ruin this moment
for my students.

I would never do that. I...

I heard that one of
your students was working

in the style of early Basquiat

and I just...

I came to see for myself.

Look for a piece
by Gray Wielebinski.

He's gonna redefine
neo-Expressionism.

upbeat music

What happened?
And then she broke up,

and her, and it was a whole
thing, which, you know what,

I'm not even
thinking about that.

-Oh, no.
- It was just so stupid.

I didn't want to hear it.
Really, it was dumb.

What's happening over there?

Mm.

Okay, it looks like,

you know, he's talking
to a really hot guy.

Uh, yeah, it does
seem that way, but...

Yeah, I fucking knew it.

What? You knew what?

Excuse me. I'm gonna do a thing.
Hold my bag.

Oh, shit. Okay.
But wait, wait, wait.

Wait, you have to tell me
about the sex.

Don't forget, okay? Come back.

-All the way from here.

Hmm, hi. Hello.

Hi.

Was I an experiment to you?

What? I...

Just to see what it would be
like to sleep with a woman?

And I said, "Me, too"...

I'm sorry.

That-that is not what this was.

'Cause it sort of feels
that way.

Okay, wait.
What do you mean? I just...

I just asked you out
and you shot me down.

I didn't shoot you down.

You weren't exactly excited,

or, like, even open
to the idea of dating.

-I mean, I...
- Wow.

I am so sorry I wasn't
enthusiastic enough for you.

Maybe I should smile more, too.

That is not what I meant,
and you know that's not

-what I meant.
- Maybe I was a little nervous.

-Were you?
- Of course. I'm human.

I didn't mean to imply
that you're...

But instead of asking
for clarification,

you find the hottest guy here
to grind up on.

Okay, look, I think there was

some sort of
miscommunication here.

Yeah.
This definitely doesn't feel

anything like
Love & Basketball.

No. No, it doesn't.

Damn, we made it so far

Red eyes
from the red light...

-Whoa. Um...

You better tell her to be
nice to him, or I'll kill her.

What? You know about them?

-I sure do.
- Oh, my God.

Well, do you have details?
I'm dying to know what happened.

Mm-mm. None that I'm willing
to share.

Okay, well...

I'll just keep harassing
my sister.

-She'll break eventually.
- Did you send me a drink?

Yeah, I did.

Was that an apology for, uh,
brutally abandoning me

at the altar in front of
all of my friends and family?

'Cause I'm-a need more
than a drink for that one.

Ooh. Can't we just pretend
to be nice to each other?

This is me pretending
to be nice.

Does everyone cheat?

Is that just
something everyone does?

Um...

No.

I did my hair...

I don't--
I don't think so.

I-- Why?

Is there something or
someone in particular?

N-N-No.

You don't get to know
that kind of stuff about me.

Okay.

Well...

you look great.

I know.

Damn, we made it so far

Red eyes
from the red light

And that just set the mood

You say you're obsessed
with me...

- So I took a second

- And I said, "Me, too"
-God, you're just...

-You're unreal.
- I'm obsessed with me-e-e

As much as you

Say you'd die for me,
I'd die for me-e too...

I'm sorry. I have to, um...

I'm sorry.

No, no. It's fine.
I'll just be here.

Reclaiming my space.

Hey.

-You can't be in here.
- Finley.

No. It's employees only.

Hey, I don't know what you think
you saw out there,

-but that was just--
- Nothing. I was just coming out

to tell you to not hit on me,

and then you were
hitting on her,

so it kind of just cancels
the other thing out.

It's like, um, physics
or whatever.

Okay, but Dani and I, we're...
I'm just trying--

I-I-- It's none
of my business, okay?

We're done. Okay?

You can talk to
whoever you want, okay?

We're just friends, right?

-Is that what you want?
- Is that a joke?

Of course that's not
what I want.

I think I've been
pretty clear about that.

All right, well, you were

fucking someone else
the other day.

-I fucking heard you. So loud.
- Oh, come on.

You know that's not real,
Sophie.

God, you make it...

I'm trying to get over you,

and you make
it fucking impossible.

How? How do I do that?

You asked me to stay,
so I stayed.

Right? Then you asked for space,
so I gave you space.

And any time I'm near you, I...

I feel something,
and it's like,

I-I just...

Do you feel it? Do you feel it,
or am I fucking crazy?

-'Cause I really...
- Yes, okay? You're not crazy.

Then what the fuck, dude?

This is...

I...

This is hard.

This is so fucking hard.

What are you scared of?

I'm not scared.

There's just a lot
to consider here, Finley.

Like Dani.

-No. Not just...
- Right.

-not just Dani. It's...
- Then who?

-Who is there to consider?
- Everybody.

Nobody thinks
that we should be together.

Why do you give a fuck
what everybody else thinks?

-Who cares?
- Okay, you know what?

Look, I just-- I don't...

-I don't. I...
- What the fuck is that?

Are you hiding?

No. I...

I don't want to make a scene.

slow, somber music

You're never
gonna choose me, are you?

I...

I just...

just need some time.

-Okay?

Ooh. No. No, no. You don't get
any more time, okay?

I can't--
I'm done waiting.

I-I got to-- I'm-I'm done.

I got to go back to work.
Fuck.

Excuse me. Sorry. Excuse me.

-Hey. You okay?
- Hey.

Uh, yeah,
I've been better. You?

Well, the whole Tom thing is
kind of backfiring.

-Really? I mean, he's here.
- Nah.

He said we were
"great friends."

-Oh.
- It's okay.

-Oh, God.
- You know,

I'd make the first move,
usually.

But the possibility
of rejection is, like,

something I can't handle
right now.

Well, you can't be
scared forever.

Mm, I think one more night
of crippling fear is okay.

Um...

Not for me, I don't think.

No?

No. I...

Finley's not that bad.

-I know that. I love her.
- Yeah.

...second half of the night.

So do I.

I...

Will you excuse me a sec?

Yeah.

I don't know.
It's like--

Oh, oh. Sorry. Sorry.

Just one second.
Thank you.

I... I think she's
embarrassed by me.

Don't look at me like that.
So mean.

-I'm, like, actually in pain.
- All right. Okay, okay, okay.

Okay. Okay. Okay.
Okay, calm down, all right?

-Straighten up a little bit.

All right,
now answer me this.

You obviously have feelings
for her.

She has feelings for you.

What am I missing?

It's fucking hard.
It's like...

I don't know. I tried.

I don't know. Maybe it's over.

Maybe she's the one,
and I just fucked it up.

Maybe so, but...

at least you gave it a shot.

-[Sophie] All I want to...

Great, and this is our song.
Mine and Sophie's. Awesome.

This is your song?

-Shut up.
- Okay.

Can you come
a little closer...

Is that...?

What?

Here comes the breath

Before we get
a little bit closer

- Here comes the rush
-Oh, my God.

Before we touch,
come a little closer

Well, that
doesn't look over to me.

No. No, it doesn't.

-Holy shit.
- Doors are open

The wind is
really blowing...

I got to go somewhere,
so you're gonna...

you're gonna lock up
tonight, okay?

Yeah, yeah, yeah,
boss, of course.

-Go get her.
- It's not just all physical

I'm the type
who won't get oh so critical

So let's make
things physical

I won't treat you
like you're oh so typical

I won't treat you
like you're oh so typical

All you think of lately

And this is true.

Is getting underneath me

Oh, shit.

All I dream of lately

Is how to get you
underneath me

-Oh, my God. Excuse me.
- Dani. Dani.

- Here comes the heat...
- I got this.

I see that.

A little bit closer

Here comes the spark

Before the dark,
come a little closer

The lights are off
and the sun is finally setting

The night sky is changing
overhead

It's not just all physical

I'm the type who won't get
oh so critical

So let's make
things physical

I won't treat you
like you're oh so typical

I want you close, I want you

I won't treat you
like you're typical

I want you, Finley,
I want you

I won't treat you
like you're typical

Oh, my God. Okay, here we go.

Ooh, ooh

You got it.
You got it. You got it.

Ooh, ooh

- Ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh

Here come the dreams
of you and me

Here come the dreams

Don't do that.

Here come the dreams
of you and me

Here come the dreams

It's not just all physical

I'm the type who won't get
oh so critical

So let's make...

-Hey. Hello.
- Hello.

I won't treat you
like you're oh so typical

I want you close,
I want you

I won't treat you
like you're typical

I want you, Fin,
Fin, Fin, Fin

- I won't treat you

Like you're typical

I won't treat you
like you're typical

I won't treat you
like you're typical

All I want to get is

Oh, fuck.

A little bit closer

All I want to know is

Can you come
a little closer?

Dani.

Dani, wait.

No, I-I can't. I just have get--
I have to get out of here.

Okay, I know,
but I just want to talk.

Just for a second.

I'm not fine, okay?
I'm not fine at all.

I mean,
I didn't think you were.

I can't be anywhere near here.
I don't know what the fuck

-I was thinking.
- Okay. Where's your purse?

I-I-I don't have,
I don't have anything.

-Okay, just--
- I could just feel

the air get sucked out
of the room when I walked in.

-I mean, I feel like that had
- Everyone's eyes

-something to do with me.
- were on me.

Gigi, these are supposed
to be my people.

Do you know what I mean?
Like, it's...

Yes, and they still are.

Nothing's changed.

gentle music

Can we get out of here?

-Absolutely.
- Thank you.

I'm-a grab your purse,
and we out.

Thank you.

Oh, fuck.

People,
I've been misled

And I've been afraid

I've been hit in the head

And left for dead

I've been abused

And I've been accused

I been refused

A piece of bread

But I ain't never...

I'm so happy.

-Yeah?
- Yeah.

Tell you right now,

shit like that don't happen
in straight bars.

You're definitely seeing
lesbian courtship 101.

Oh. Well, I can see the appeal.

Find out what's wrong...

You know,
there's a lot that's appealing.

Sure. Of course. Yeah.

Absolutely.

Because the love...

-Do you want to dance with me?
- Yeah.

You trying to make
somebody jealous?

Your wingman is here.
Let's do it.

-Hey.
- Hey.

-I want to dance with you.
- Yeah. Of course. Yeah.

Not as friends.

I've been given till sundown

-Oh, shit. Yeah. R-Really?
- Yeah?

-What do you think?
- Yeah. Absolutely.

-You want to do it?
- Yeah.

-Okay.
- I just didn't think that you...

Well... Well, now you know
what I think.

-Okay.
- Come on.

I'm excited.

You don't have to talk.

I'm gonna shut the fuck up.

To smile and apologize

But I ain't never

In my life before

Seen so many love affairs

Go wrong as I do today

Ooh, so stop

Find out what's wrong

Get it right...

Oh, okay.

Did a little ballroom
dancing when I was a kid.

-You did?
- Yeah, my parents made me.

Because the love

You save today

Maybe it will

- Be your own
-Sorry about that.

Oh.

Do you want to--
Do you want to get out of here?

-Yup.
- Let's go. Uh-huh.

Ooh...

Hey.

Go away, Shane.

Look, I-I will.

I just...

I just wanted to come here
and tell you that I...

I did have something to do
with your breakup.

-Oh, my God. I fucking knew it.
- Whoa, whoa, whoa. No, no, no.

No, no. No, no. Don't-- No, no,
it's not like that. Please.

Please what?

Tess...

Look, I met Cherie 17 years ago,

and it was...
it was enchanting.

But she fucked me over.

Now, it wasn't entirely
her fault.

I played a part in that. I was
an absolute mess back then.

But she is an opportunist, Tess.

And when I saw you come in
with her the other day,

I just saw a similar scenario
just play out all over again,

except this time it was with you
instead of me.

I can take care of myself.

I know you can.

And I'm sorry. I was wrong.

I should never have gotten
in the way.

I just...

I-I care about you, Tess.

Fuck, and you know what? I...

I know I fucked you over
with Lena,

and you have absolutely
no reason to believe me,

but I swear to God to you
that this is different.

And when Cherie came in
the other night,

I-I... I told her. I...

What?

What did you tell her?

I told her to back off.

I told her to stop fucking
touching my leg

and playing footsie under the
table, and to leave you alone,

and she did.

Is that all you told her?

No.

Well, are you...

gonna tell me
what else you said?

slow, ambient music

Yeah, I will. Sometime.

Soon.

-Yes. Yes.
- Yeah. They're exciting.

And Kai's work is
really special.

Oh, yeah.

Makes me think of
Faith Ringgold.

Ringgold, yeah.

-Mm-hmm.
- Low lighting in blue,

instead of white.

It's like,
it's like the Internet collided

with this classic tradition
of Black art.

I think she's really
onto something.

-Oh, yeah. She's dope.
- Mm.

Teaching her over
these past few years

has given me so much life.

Well, I'll be keeping tabs
on her.

And you won't be the only one.

But I'll be the only one

who came to
her very first exhibition.

I hope that counts
for something.

-You just don't quit, do you?
- No.

Not when I believe
in someone.

-It's not easy saying no to you.

Oh, really?
'Cause you make it look easy.

Mm-hmm.

I can tell you
what would make it...

impossible for me to say no.

Please.

If you offered something real.

Something concrete.

Not representation by a gallery,

but a real opportunity for me
to show my work again...

I would find that hard
to pass up.

Duly noted.

She's got you wrapped
around her finger

You try to linger, but she's
already on her way to mine...

Yeah. Yeah.

-Mm-hmm.
- Here's good.

All right, we're really gonna
do this, right?

-We are fucking quite eager
- Okay.

-to do this.
- Yeah. Mm.

She plays with the boys...

Oh, do you have a...

-I do.
- Yeah.

-Yes, ma'am, I do.
- Little fucked up

But I think it's official

'Cause she might be
your girl

But she's calling me daddy

She's mine

- She wears a collar

- With my name

Secretive but not ashamed...

Oh, wow.

Oh, fuck.

I've loved you since I was 11.

Shit won't go away.

We haven't talked since college.

You wait two weeks
before my wedding

to tell me something like that?

I know.

I probably should've said it
two weeks ago.

You haven't changed.

I'll play you.

What?

One game. One-on-one.

For what?

Your heart.
- Your heart.

Watch the girl get

What she likes

I-I can't believe you sang.

Look,

when Alice gets that way,

it's-it's horrifying.

-And you can't say no,

'cause it's not worth the fight.

You just got to do it.

Hmm.

You didn't sing.

Oh, yeah.
'Cause you ruined my night.

Fair.

Here now, though.

What?

You want me to get up
and sing for you on my porch?

Yeah, why not?

Okay.
You r-- You ready for this?

-I'm 1,000% ready for that.
- Okay. Here we go.

Up. No.

Come on, I'm not gonna sing
for you.

Oh, that's a cop-out.
Seriously?

What? No. I'm not d-- Come on.

I'm not doing that.

-All right, I'm sorry.

I don't want to push you.

I have to earn that.

A minute on your lips

A lifetime in my memory

Each second in your...

I'm sorry
I brought Britt here.

I'm sorry I made you quit
your job at Alice's.

I'm sorry I ruined your wedding.

Oh, God.

-That was bad.
- Yeah. Mm-hmm.

Your love, can you take me

Into your arms

Don't stop

A minute on your lips

A lifetime in my memory

Memory

This is weird, right?
This is, like, her bed?

-That's...
- N-No, no.

It's... it's not. It's...

It can't be, anymore.

It's you and me.

- Chasing closure
-Okay.

- Oh...
-Hey.

What?

I'm sorry I didn't go
to Kansas City with you.

What?

Yeah. Just...

I was gonna go,
just got scared, and...

I promise I'm gonna try not
to be so scared anymore, okay?

Okay.

A minute on your lips

A lifetime in my memory

Each second
in your fingertips

Living out all our fantasies,
fantasies

And I've been waiting
for your love

Your love

Can you take me
into your arms?

- Don't stop

A minute on your lips

A lifetime in my memory

- Memory

Oh, thank you, God.

- Ooh

For real.
Oh, my God.

I ate 11 scoops in two minutes.

-I set the school record.

-You?
Yeah.

Jesus, woman.

Well,
if my career doesn't work out,

I could always go back
to the competitive eating.

Well, hold on. You want to go
back and get some more?

-See where you're at?
- No. Don't tempt me.

-I'll do it.
Come on.

They've changed.

What?

I told you I'd let you know
if my feelings for you changed,

and they have.

They have changed.

Said you wanted to walk away

Stay friends,
thought that it was final

Now you tell me
your feelings have changed

Uh-uh, uh-uh,
uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh

Never gave a warning

And then you went
and dropped a bomb

All of my endorphins
are running wild

You're 'bout to blow
my rocks off

That's what I want
