Sell. JULES: Hi!
‐ Oh! We're in here!
I get such a high selling consignment.
I love The RealReal.
Alright. Donate, sell, burn.
‐ Gotta love a Madison Maxwell mandatory friend activity.
‐ Did we wanna do this today? Who knows? Did we have a choice?
Absolutely not.
‐ Oh, come on! This is good for us!
I mean, we're almost 30. JULES: Would love to go
but one entire day without being reminded of that.
‐ Our styles should start reflecting whichever new direction
we want to go in in our lives.
That, and I just bought a bunch of new shit I need to make room for.
‐ Madison, you're replacing a peach blazer
with a peach blazer?
‐ This is cantaloupe.

You miss me already? I was in your car, like, four seconds ago.
Not that I don't already miss you because I do, obviously.
‐ Of course, I miss you, but I just realized
that you left your charger in my car.
Do you need it? ‐ Um, no. That's okay.
I can get it later.
Plus, I still have your hoodie, so maybe we can...
do a trade.
‐ [laughs] You are in possession of every sweatshirt that I own!
You better not give that one away in your clothes purge.
MADISON: Iz, is that you? ‐ Uh, yeah! Coming!
LIAM [on phone]: I should let you go.
I've only worn this once.
‐ Were you attacked by a bear?
‐ I'm getting rid of some of my sexier "going out" clothes.
With Liv and Bruno these days, the only clubs in my life
are the Mickey Mouse variety. MADISON: Hm,
and how does that make you feel?
‐ Like I hate that therapist voice.
‐ Alright, what about you, Jules?
‐ Okay...
‐ Damn.
Are you gonna have anything left?
‐ Celeste gave me a trunkful of designer stuff that's,
uh, probably worth more than my actual car.
‐ Wow, so you're just gonna get rid of all your clothes and replace it with hers?
‐ I mean, her stuff is much nicer than mine.
And with all her divorce drama going on,
I have to step in for her for a while,
but not in her shoes. Her feet are insanely small.
‐ [sighs] Okay, speaking of shoes,
donate or sell? What do you guys think?

because it looks like you're kidnapping her.
STELLA: Mm... [Madison laughs]
‐ I just‐‐ I definitely will not give away this hoodie.
Don't worry.
Besides, I'll need it, um, if we're still going to Big Bear
next weekend with your college friends.
You mentioned it, um, but I wasn't sure if you...
changed your mind or whatever.
LIAM: Oh yeah. Shit. My friend Ryan's kind of an idiot,
and he booked the wrong AirBnB,
so now there might not be enough room for everybody to bring their plus ones.
‐ Got it. Uh, totally. Um,
yeah, I‐I just‐‐ I figured something was up.
LIAM [on phone]: Nothing's up.
We just might have to rain check meeting everyone.
It's no big deal, right? ‐ No, of course.
Of course, no big deal. No Big Bear.
No big anything. [nervous laugh]
Okay, bye.
It's finally happening. Liam is breaking up with me.
‐ Oh shit. ‐ What's going on?
‐ So, a few weeks ago, he mentioned this Big Bear trip that him
and all his college friends take with their significant others every year.
And then, just now,
he got really weird about it, and he's claiming
there's "not enough space" for me to go with.
‐ Well, why wouldn't there be enough space?
‐ Because his friend "booked the wrong AirBnB," allegedly.
‐ Okay, you're doing a lot of air quotes on things that may not need air quotes.
What if that's just really what happened?
‐ It's not, okay? Just trust me. I can feel it.
I've just known that since we've been together, this was gonna happen, right?
'Cause, like, everyone can see that he's way out of my league,
