Now that I've made our mornings sacred,

Free of distraction.

Anyway, I gotta get to class.
- The worst thing about our mornings?
They always end.
I pass the time by counting down
to the next moment I see you.
You're teaching me to be more patient,
and god knows I need the help when it comes to your friends.
For some reason we share our nights with your friends,
and appointment viewing like "The Bachelor."
How can self-respecting women tolerate this crap?
Sometimes, I swear, I'm the only real feminist you know.
- It's either a full Brazilian, or like full bush,
and it's like,
"Listen, my snooch is the third bowl of porridge.
I mean, meet me halfway lady." It's like insane.
- That's hilarious.
- These girls are even more tedious in person.
Lynn is a dark cavern where conversations go to die.
- That's hilarious. - What personality she has
is only activated by low-calorie girly cocktails,
which is doubtless why she drinks so much.
Annika's decided I'm so amazing--which, true--
but joining Team Joe is just the latest move
in her cold war with queen bitch herself,
Peach goddamn Salinger.
- Oh, hope you didn't start the fun without me.
- Oh, we did.
- Annika, thank God for that chest of yours,
otherwise you'd be spilling guac all over
that Himalayan blanket I got Beck.
- So goes the endless merry-go-round of food issues.
Peach snipes at Annika's body.
Annika rubs her assets in Peach's face,
which as defense mechanisms go beats the hell out of crying.
I can get you some paper towels.
- Wait up, I need a refill. - No, no.
I got it, I'll take care of you.
- No, no, it's all right, I could use the company.
- Oh, this is so much more fun than girl's night classic.
You know, when it was just us girls?
- Peach has it out for me.
Probably shouldn't have stolen her copy of "Oz,"
or maybe I shouldn't have returned it.
But all that's behind me, Beck.
If I just keep being the perfect boyfriend,
you'll realize that life is so much healthier
away from this toxicity.
- Joseph, I was thinking about thinning out my library,
and I thought I'd ask the expert.
What's a book like this worth?

Well, it's printed by Riley in Britain.
An original, a rarity.
- Mm.
Guess I better act quick, before some desperate person
tries to steal my little beauty away.
- The real tragedy would be not appreciating what you have.
If I were you, I'd hold on to her forever.
But what do I know? I'm just a book store clerk.

I mean, did you do this in MySpace?
- I've been telling Joe we need to modernize.
- Joe, I have 3.6 million followers,

But I'm willing to do Mooney's for free,
out of the kindness of my big-ass heart.

- Thank you, but I got this.
Smart bitches get their brains juiced at Mooney's.

specifically a body-positive Insta-celeb, be shameless.
Annika's turning her curves into an empire,

being Peach's, quote, "Fat friend from prep school."
And what's this?
Thank you, Annika's private Facebook.
Hello nose job.
And just like that,
I know how to repay Annika for her kindness.
Annika, why the hell is this not on your Insta?
- Oh my god, because it's mortifying.
I mean, I'm adorkable, but Peach.
Phew.
Lucky she is not on Facebook.
It is cute, though.
- Do you run everything you post by Peach first?
- Hell no.
You're right, screw it.
This is the ultimate throwback.
I just need a brilliant caption.
- How about, "Bitches being our most authentic selves."
- Joe, it's like you're in my brain.
- No, I just know her audience.
Team Joe, one. Peach, zero.
You'd be proud of me, Beck. I'm a good friend.
- Hi Allison, you wanted to see me?
- Guinevere, please, sit.
I understand that some things are harder than others
to write about.
Our own families are usually the top of the list.
I'm glad you stuck with it. - Thank you.
- My lit agent's assistant just got promoted,
and may be able to connect you with some jobs for hire.

in response to Annika taking a stand against Peach?
Connect the damn dots.
- I have to go. Annika's having like--
- Okay, go. Be with your friend.
Help her push Peach out a window.

Today it's Annika. Tomorrow it could be you.

Beck, I may never be able to prove your best friend

But you know what they say,
"Keep your friends close, and your enemies..."
Keep losing your enemies,
because you're so goddamn out of shape.
Why does my kidney hurt? This is torture.
But I have to know what we're up against.
I need to get into her head.
So exhibit A,
Peach starts every day by punishing her own body.
Sadomasochist? Orthorexic? Jury's still out.
Exhibit B, Peach is loathed at work.
- Jaden, the Jacobsen chairs you ordered are knockoffs,
and the specs on the Vanderbilt townhouse
were supposed to be at my office by seven A.M.
It's 6:50.
- Entitled? Nepotized? We're getting warmer.
She doesn't go anywhere without that laptop.
If only I could see inside.
Exhibit C in our tour of Peach's psyche,
gauche, demented.
If this is the fruit of Peach's imagination,
there's no telling what horrors she's capable of.
Well, at least I have your old phone,
so I sometimes get a little warning

Anyways, what's the big news?

That's amazing and surprising, but--
Shit! I'm so mad at myself.
- What do you mean?
- You know, with my family and everything,
I have agency connections,
so I was gonna call a friend, Roger Stevens.
- Roger Stevens?
Doesn't he rep, like, famous writers?
- You mean like, Pulitzer winners,
Booker Prize finalists,
67% of the Time's Best Sellers list?
- Yeah, Beck, I'd say Roger Stevens
has repped some famous writers,
which, no offense, begs the question,
why would he be interested in an MFA student?
- You can write for magazines, totally, you know?
That's legit, honest work. Like, what Annika does.
But Roger doesn't sell articles, you know?
He represents real authors.
So it just depends on who you want to be.
- I mean, if you can introduce us.
- Happy to, yeah.
He and I know each other from when he was a counselor
at my Jew camp, so...
You know what?
Joseph!
Joseph?
- I didn't know you were here, Peach, hey.
- We are gonna need you to shut this place down
tomorrow night for a private party.
You know, it's perfect.
Roger is obsessed with the sad and gritty New York.
I'll take care of everything, if you can just,
you know, clean up a little.
- You're amazing. Thank you. - Of course.
- You don't owe me anything, okay?
Happy to.
- Oh, but you do, Beck.
But what am I supposed to do,

That's not love. It's not me.

Two choices, be like them, or be excommunicated.
No love, no money.
At some point she makes a friend.
That's you, Beck.
She develops a harmless crush, and it's 2018.
So who gives a shit if she's gay, or bi, or pan,
or just a mortal in the presence
of your dangerous and exceptional pheromones?
I'll tell you, who.
Her family, and she knows it,
so she takes her normal healthy feelings
and crushes them, nurses them in a dark, secret place

and now your best friend is a stalker and a sociopath,
and--oh God, a liar.
Runner's high is a myth.

- Are you accusing me of sabotaging Annika?
- And me, and anyone else who edges into your spotlight.
You would rather pick apart your friends than maybe admit
that you're not being your most amazing self right now.
It is exhausting being your friend.
- I don't know what to say.
I mean, it was a favor, Beck,
and I don't need to love your self-absorbed poetry
in order to be kind to you.
Where are you going?
Beck!
Beck?
Come back!

- No way. Peach logged her own suicide?
200 milligrams Ibuprofen, 15 milligrams Wellbutrin.
There isn't enough in her system
for a light buzz, let alone an OD.
- I see you spying, Joseph.
You can't prove I wrote it all down.
- Jesus, Beck.
This whole thing is an act.
A trap. Tell me you see it.
I'll call the hospital.
- No, they'll put a 72-hour hold on me.
I'll be committed.
- Exactly.
Beck, if this is real, she needs to go to a hospital.
- If this is real?
Did you even try to find the Naloxone?
Joseph.
- Joe, will you wait outside?
- Yeah.
- Thank you for saving me.
- Joe does have a point.
You should get a check-up.
- What if instead you just stay the night,
just in case anything happens.
- Whatever you need.
- Beck, what I said about her faking it--
- Oh, please, Joe, stop. She could have died.
- We're not that lucky.
You two had one fight.
She tries to off herself like that?
It doesn't add up.
- This isn't the first time
Peach has tried to kill herself.
- You're kidding.
- I've talked her off of a ledge more times
than I can count.
So when she needs me, she really needs me.

How is a normal guy supposed to compete
with a rich, unstable stalker,
who would rather fake her own suicide

Your whole life is braided with Peach's, inseparable,
now and forever, until she drags you
into her own personal Grey Gardens.
Right now she's probably sinking her claws deeper.

- Uh oh. She's dead.
Of course she's dead, she fell.
That's right, she fell.
An accident.
Happens all the time, she was running and she fell
into a rock, over and over again.
Okay, let's be real, she was attacked.
Someone attacked her,
but maybe they had a good reason, right?
You ever think of that, detective?
Shit! Detectives are real, and DNA is a thing,
and I just hit the girl with a rock.
God, the sound, I would never hurt a woman.
But she, she was at a dangerous, flesh-hungry harpy.
She forced my hand.
That's on her and her family for screwing her up.
I had to, Beck. I had to.
I knew you'd never forgive me, but she gave me no choice.
I'm not a bad person. She was going to ruin you.
But you're safe now, thanks to me.
I just want you to live your best life.
It's brave, what I do for you. It's not easy, it's hard.
Sometimes it makes me sick. I'm brave.
How many guys are willing to do anything
for the person they love?
Honestly, Beck, you're lucky to have me.
[tense music]
It's over. What's done is done,
and now there's nothing standing between me and--Paco.
Paco, what did you do?
- I couldn't take another night.
I didn't know how many sleeping pills would knock him out.
- Well, Beck, you asked me to help Paco,
but turns out you're going to save him because
it's thanks to you that I know exactly what to do.
We need towels, and does your mom have any Naloxone?
It would be in the bathroom cabinet, a nasal spray, fast.
- Do I call 911?
- No, not if you want to see your mother again.
