- Oh, Tamara. Good, walk with me.
- Oh, sure, but I thought our meeting wasn't until 9:00.
- My staff thought that your forecasts were spot on.
I, conversely, completely ignored mine.
In fact, I made some sudden moves.
And they were magical.
- I'm sure.
As a Leo with Sagittarius Rising,
you are often going to do
the opposite of what you're told.
- Is that so? - Mm-hmm.
To be a force, you need to feel like a force.
But you haven't lately, so you needed a push.
And I was meant to give that to you.
- So you gave me the wrong advice.
- For the right results, yeah. - Hmm.
Well done.
Enjoy your tea, and then go up to HR on six.
See you Monday. - Great.

- Richard and I have hardly seen each other.
I don't even know what time he came to bed.
I mean, we barely spoke to each other this morning,
and he flies out again today.
I mean, the whole thing just sucks.
- Well, okay.
I think you're being a little hard on yourself.
I mean, you have a job.
You've been working really hard.
- Yeah, steaming garments and putting out fires.
Did you know that Oliver didn't even use the photos
from the "Romeo and Juliet" shoot?
- Oh, no.
- I killed myself trying to get that Juliet dress.
I feel like I'm pushing a boulder up a hill,
and it's not rolling over on top of me,
but I'm not getting any closer to the top either.
I'm just kind of standing still.
- Wow, that's very descriptive. - Thank you.
- Mm-hmm. Hey.
You guys love each other. You'll figure it out.
Just don't let him get on the plane angry.
- Kat? - Hey.
- Hi, Adena. I'm gonna go talk to Richard.
See you. - Bye.
- Kat, can I show you something?
- Yeah.
"Legal does not approve the new version of the photo.
Images that are Safford property

We took out Travis, which was supposedly the problem.
- So what's the problem now? - I don't know.
But, hey, we're gonna get to the bottom of it.

- Hey, man. - Hi.
- I thought you had a flight out of JFK.
- I do, but I just needed to talk to Jane before I left.
- I'm glad you did.
And hey, you're gonna be okay without Julie.
- Thanks.
I just feel stupid for not telling you earlier.
- You don't have to keep anything from me.
I love you no matter what. Okay?
- I love you too. - [laughs]
All right, get going. You don't have that much time.
- All right. See you, guys.
- Oh, have them take the Belt Parkway.
- Got it.
- I'm glad he told you. - Yeah, me too.
Why didn't you tell me?
- Well, it's not really my place, right?
It's Evan's. What's wrong?
- It's just...
It was so easy for you to lie to me.
- It wasn't easy, but I was trying to do the right thing.
- Yeah, I know. It's fine.
I just...
It just feels a little weird. That's all.
- Well, I'm sorry about that.

The distance is harder than I thought it was gonna be.
Going home to your apartment without you,
it just doesn't feel right.
- I get it.
Being in San Francisco, it's beautiful.
But being there without you...
It's not right. - Nope.
- In a perfect world, we'd ditch New York
and start a new life over there.
But that's not reality.
So for as long as it takes,
as many times as it takes for me

- You know, I want a perfect world too.
- Really? - Yeah.
I mean, I have never been further
from getting a promotion.
I have Instagram followers that I can leverage from anywhere.
And I miss you.
- Wait. Before I get too excited,
just to be clear,
you're willing to move across the country to be with me?
- I mean, my horoscope did say that I should
ditch the familiar and expand my horizons, so--

I want to start our new life together now.

If we push those tables aside,
I bet you we could make a dance floor.
And I think between these columns,

It just kind of feels like fate, right?
