- So, uh...
what are you in for?
- Excuse me?
- Did you really just ask him that?
- Am I not supposed to?
Sorry, this is only my third session.
I don't know the rules.
- Well, therapy's confidential for a reason.
There are literally laws about it.
- Sure.
- I didn't kill anybody, if that's what you want to know.
- I don't wanna know anything.
Honestly.
We're going to sit here in silence.
Totally cool.

- And I never know when songs are going to happen.
Like now, how am I supposed to focus on my own issues
when the entire waiting room just sang to me?
Do you believe a word I'm saying?
- Doesn't matter what I believe.
People come in here with all kinds of issues.
- I feel like I'm totally...
drowning recently between my work and my family,
my relationship, my powers, I--
all the TV shows I have to watch.
- One thing at a time.
You said you broke up with Max because
you could hear his thoughts but he couldn't hear yours.
Now you're in a relationship with Simon,
and he's not aware of your secret at all.
- If he knew that
I used his heart song
to connect and forge this grief bond,
I mean, it would be game over.
- All right.
If you can't get rid of your gift
maybe you need to focus on things that you can control.
Is there any area of your life that you feel that you can
put more energy into?
- Simon. Definitely Simon.
Yeah, I have been not so awesome to him lately.
- Okay. Do you think working on things
with him is a manageable goal until our next session?
- Absolutely.
Yep, I'm gonna show Simon that
I can be the best girlfriend in the entire world.
- Or you could just aim for better.
[elevator dings]
- I was thinking about you on my way into work today
and I brought you a donut.
There was also an apple fritter,
but that didn't survive the trip.
- Ooh, too bad.
That was very sweet of you.
Should we maybe not do this at work?
- Oh.
Yeah. - Yeah?
- Right.
Unless you think it's time that we
tell people. - I don't know.
I mean, I have a lot of pressure that I'm under
because I'm in charge of these diversity initiatives,
and-and you're my boss.
- Oh, yeah, yeah, not gonna rush it.
Nope.
That doesn't mean though that I can't spoil you rotten
outside these walls.
I want to make this weekend
all about you.
- Oh. - So.
Wait, did you save your documents?
- I saved all of them.
- Okay, so I was thinking
pub crawl.
I don't know, museum crawl,
or we could just...
crawl into bed and...
you know.
- Yeah, I know.
Let me clarify, this can all end with the bed thing, right?
- Your wish is this genie's command.
Everyone, gather round.
I know you are all excited to know which phone proposal
I've decided to present to Danny Michael Davis.
- This is it. I'm sorry in advance, Mac.
You put up a good fight.
- You were a worthy adversary.
- So after much consideration, the winner is...
[imitates drum roll]
oh, it's the dronephone.
- I'm sorry,
what happened to the megaphone? - And the microphone?
- Those were both excellent submissions.
- They were the only submissions.
- Actually, they weren't.
- Congratulations, Leif.
- I don't understand. What's happening?
- Well, while both of you were busy competing,
I just got an idea and I ran with it.
Or should I say I flew with it.
- Oh, that's good. - Yeah, thank you.
Oh, right. [claps]
[drone buzzing]
[beeping and chirping]
- Bro, I thought we were bros, bro.
- We are bros.
Danny Michael Davis asked everyone for their ideas,
and, uh, if the Lord asketh, I will giveth.
- Okay, I need you all to get on board with this
because we are pitching to Danny Michael Davis on Monday.
That is in four days, people. Cool?
- Ice cold.
- And someone on a screen yells at you
as you do it?
- Yeah, but in, like, a supportive way.
I got it cheap on Craigslist.
I'm just, I'm trying to move my body more.
- And increase your stamina?
- [scoffs] Deb!
I got it for me alone.
- Kind of like how you went alone to the casino
the other night?
Fred texted me.
- Croupier Fred?
Whoa, that man is a talker. - Yeah.
Should have called me, I would have joined you.
And warned you to stay away from Fred.
- Well, I was just in the neighborhood,
it was a spontaneous sort of thing.
- No worries. Maybe next time.
I think I'm gonna get one of these.
I hate bike riding
but I do enjoy getting yelled at.
- [chuckles] One more.
[camera snapping] Yeah, okay. Read it again.
- Okay, fine. Twist my arm.
"MaxiMo's is a concept
"that in no way should work, but somehow does.
"The atmosphere is fun, the drinks are great,
"and everyone I was with
loved their meal." - Mm-hmm.
Where you gonna hang it? - I don't know.
You're the curator,
you tell me. - Hmm.
- And then Mo will move it later.
- Yes. - Yup.
- Have you given any more thought
to how you want to use your girlfriend golden ticket?
- Yeah, uh, it's supposed to be
really nice out this weekend so we should spend it outside.
Um, riding bikes.
We could take the ferry to Angel Island.
- Or you could join us.
Max and I are doing the Bay to Breakers
this weekend. Do you guys want to come?
- Wait, is that the thing where people dress up
in silly costumes and
they run all around the city? - Yes, it is.
- No, thank you. - Love this idea!
Really? I mean, it would be so fun.
- Y-You want us both to run?
Like, with our feet?
- Oh, come on, it's okay.
It's only seven miles. - Ah.
- You don't have to if you don't want to.
- Are you kidding?
Now I would be sad if we didn't do it.
So I guess I'll see you all at the starting line.
- Whoo! Wait, you're leaving?
- Nope, just gotta pee.
- Max, Max, Max. - Mm-hmm?
- Zoey and Simon are gonna do the Bay to Breakers with us.
- Really--oh, yeah! - Yeah!
- Awesome!
- This plan can suck my--
[guitar sting]
- Good morning. It's early, I know.
But I was hoping to borrow some ankle weights.
I have this race coming up tomorrow and I want to train.
- I don't think you can cram for--
You know what? Never mind. Knock yourself out.
- Oh, sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt.
Hi, Perry.
- Hey, you're not interrupting.
I've got to go meet my ex.
We're taking the kids to the park.
- You know, it's impressive that you two
have such a good relationship.
- I agree.
You know, when I first heard about Brad,
I was not into it because I am not friends with any of my exes
except Denise Dunlap, my prom date.
And no, she didn't get none of this.
But now I understand
how adult their agreement is.
In fact, it is about to get a whole lot adultier
because the three of us
are having lunch at MaxiMo's tomorrow.
- Wow, big step.
- Brad and I are always gonna be part of each other's lives
because of the kids, and Mo's a part of my life now,
so it felt like the right time.
- Well, good luck, you two.
Thanks for these.
Ugh, wish me luck.
- You have a good day now. - You too now, sugar.

It's making a, um, clicking noise.
- There's nothing wrong here.
And I don't hear any clicking noise.
- Oh, you know what?
Now that you mention it,
[laughs]
oh, silly.
I was carrying an old timey pocket watch
with me at the time.
So, um, must be kind of mind blowing
to think about your ex meeting your new guy, huh?
I mean, I know that would make me
not...well?

and both Brad and Mo have got big personalities.
- Who, Mo?
Our Mo?

Simon and I are gonna be

If you need me, I could act as a buffer.
- You sure you don't mind?

I was born to buff.
- Hey, Rose.
- Hey, come on. The store closes in an hour.
- Does it take an hour to pick out a costume? Really?
- Mm-hmm. Yes, rookie, it does.
- Okay.
- Hey, uh,
so I have some kinda big news. - Hm?
- I posted that MaxiMo review on my Instagram.
- Uh-huh. - And my friend Rachel,
who was an early investor in Shake Shack DMed me,
asking if you might want to do a pop-up in New York.
- Really? That's amazing.
How would that even work? Don't things like that
take months and months to get off the ground?
- Oh, sure, but your family's there.
You could go see them. - But definitely not
stay with them. - No, no.
See, here's the thing, actually.
There is this girl that I know
and she has her own super tiny,
but reasonably priced apartment
and she would love a roommate.
You could turn it into a whole East Coast adventure.
- Yeah, that all sounds really cool.
- I know it's a lot to digest,
so just think about it, okay?
- Okay.
[soft dramatic music playing]
- I swear to God, if I have to hear
Leif drone on and on any more about his stupid drone phone.
- I bet he was planning this all along.
Watching us pour our blood, sweat, and tears into our ideas
while he was sharpening his antique letter opener,
waiting to stab us both in the back.
- And now he just comes out and demands we stay here
all weekend to work on his presentation.
- I know!
And my auntie was supposed to take me to IKEA.
- I hate him! - I hate him more!
- [moaning]
- Wait, is this, like, a real thing?
Or is this, like, an angry hookup 'cause--
You know what? It doesn't matter.
- So I have some favorites already.
This unicorn, pretty crazy, right?
- Yeah, that's good.
- Bumblebee. - That's cute.
- Come on now. - There you are.
- Hey. - Hey.
- Posh and Becks in the house.

I'm trying to support Rose.

- [grunts] - Wow.
Thank you very much.
Jeez.
- [groaning]
That feels so good.
- Are you okay?
That was a bad fall.
- Pfft, ankles are overrated.
- I appreciate the effort in doing this with me.
For real, but you look like you should be horizontal.
Should I just take you home?
- No way.
I promised you a you day.
So you are just gonna sit back, and you're gonna relax,
and you're gonna wait for
the best dumplings in town.
- Stop. Mama G's?
- I already ordered 'em for you.
- Come on. - Okay, cheers.
- Yes. Cheers. - Cheers.
- I think this is our first
official double date.
- Yeah, why haven't we done this before?
- Hmm, I don't know.
I mean, you three have a little bit
of weird history, don't you?
- I--oh, sorry, I didn't--
I didn't mean to say that it was weird.
I did use the word "weird." - It's okay.
If you have any questions, just ask.
Like, we are open books. We have nothing to hide.
- Okay.
Um, so.
You were engaged, right?
To, like, a whole other person.
- Yes, that's true. Her name is Jessica
and we did, in fact, almost get married.
To each other.
- Hi, there.
You must be Mo.
- I am. - I'm Brad.
- This is Mo.
- Yeah, he just mentioned that.
Or whatever pronouns you use.
- I normally go with he/him,
but I'm not objecting to she, they/them.
All are really accepted here, but thank you for asking.
- I also use he/him, so.
- Should we grab a table? - Absolutely.
Yeah.
- So you and Jessica broke it off
after your engagement party was
literally engulfed in flames, which, as signs from God go,
pretty unambiguous.
- Oh, a sign from God or just, like,
an accident-prone redhead.
One or the other, I don't know.
Uh, will you guys excuse me for one moment?
- Yeah.
- Oh, my gosh, fruit salad, I love you.
Not you, honeydew. - That's really hurtful.
- Hi, how's it going, everyone?
You must be Brad. I'm Zoey.
It's so nice to meet you.
- What is she, the movie "Twister"?
- The inside of a Roomba?
- Oh, no, no, I'm static electricity.
- She's existential dread.
- She is the human embodiment
of sadness and solitude.
- She is Little Edie from "Grey Gardens."
- [gasps]
"Mother Darling," I love that movie.
- And I love that you two
can bond over my epic costume fail.
- I know, she's Raggedy Ann.
- Margaret. [both laughing]
Baby, you know that's a doll you get on the discount shelf.
[both laughing]
[laughter]
- You're on quite a streak today.
- Am I, Fred? - Yeah.
- Um, and so they have just
called us up onto the stage, and the next thing I know,
I'm asleep with my head on this lady
and Mitch is running around like he's on fire or something.
[laughter]
- Looks like I'm late to this party.
Maggie, fancy meeting you here.
I thought you were going to call me
next time you went day gambling.
- Traitor.
What is going on, Deb?
Are you spying on me? - No.
I just have a theory that people that frequent casinos
are either world poker champions or
they're trying to feel something again
and it's leading them down a very, very dark path.
- Well, I don't think I fall into
either of those categories and, you know,
if I want to go to a casino in broad daylight,
or I want to eat pizza for breakfast,
or I want to mow my lawn in a spacesuit,
who is to say I can't?
- Are you gonna stay? - No.
I think I'm gonna go.
- He's talking about the cards.

New Yorkers don't really have filters.
It's one of the things that makes
the East Coast the best coast.
- Stop, excuse me, no.
The West Coast runs circles around the East Coast
every time.
Sunny weather all year round.

Hard pass.
- All right, we got a lock on burritos.
- Bagels.
- Beaches. - Brooklyn.

the most well-informed point of view.

But Rose has a friend who does pop-up restaurants
and I think it could be a big opportunity for MaxiMo.
Plus our families are both there, so, I don't know.
But I'm thinking about it.
- Well, it sounds...cool.
Super cool.

is causing all deliveries to be behind,

- Do you want me to check in on them for you?
- Yes, thank you, friend.
Also, friend.
Will you take these to table 11?
It's the table with the family of clowns
and Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.
Go ahead now, run along.
- You wanted to see me?
- Yeah, take a seat.
- This isn't your office, bro.
- Oh, agree to disagree.
[exhales]
Look, I get that you're upset
and I want to apologize.
I should have told you I was working on something
for the new phone.
I didn't mean to blindside you.
- Truth is, your idea was way better
and I could be really angry at you right now
or I could thank you.
- Thank me for-- - Your hella sketchy move
might have just been the greatest thing
that ever happened to me. McKenzie and I hooked up.
- Tobin,
you've actually found a girl who likes you back?
- Right?
I mean, maybe not, but it's happening.
- Should we grab arms and jump up and down right now?
- I think we should.
I just remembered these walls are see-through.
- All right, well, tell you what.
Why don't you guys get out of here.
We'll finish the presentation without you.
- What? You sure?
Dude.
I'm gonna really like it when this is
actually your office one day.
- Oh, so your food came.
- Uh, no, we just ate some of Mo's nachos.
- Oh. - And some calamari that
might not have been ours. - Oh. How you doing, Perry?
You good? - Good.
- I mean, I think you should be better than good.
'Cause all you guys are getting along, right, Brad?
You and Mo love each other? - Yeah.
- See, Perry? You can relax now.
- Uh, hold up.
Did you not think we'd get along?
- I mean, you two are very-- - What?
We like the same movies, the same books,
our Hemsworths are ranked in the same order.
We basically the same person. - No, you are not.
- Okay, so how are we different, exactly?
Hmm?
You thought I'd have a problem with Mo.
Actually I think you might be the one with the problem.
I'm going to get a refill.
- I'm sorry, I didn't mean to
give away your--
- No, it's not you.
- I don't understand though.
If Brad doesn't have a problem with Mo
and Mo doesn't have a problem with Brad--
- Then I guess
the problem's me.
- Is there anything that I can help you with?
- Thank you, but no.
I need to figure this out for myself.
Uh, plus,
your friends are eating without you.
- Oh, no, his food hasn't come yet.
Uh, are you gonna finish those fries?
- Here. - Thank you.
Okay, here's some leftover fries.
Your dumplings should be here
in 90 minutes!?
- What? - [groans]
The driver's car just keeps orbiting the restaurant.
- I offered him some of my pho.
- It's a bowl of soup, Rose.
We might as well be sharing a toothbrush.
I'm fine, man.
- You know what, best boyfriend ever?
Let me distract you with my magic hands
until your food comes.
- You don't have--okay.
- You know who does have the best pho?
And this should show you how objective I can be.
San Francisco.
- Well, then I must say that you also have the best, um,
Special Victims Unit.
- Thank you. [laughs]
- I don't know why we're obsessed with this topic.
But while we're on it, um,
Max, have you decided what you're gonna do
with your apartment?
- What do you mean? - What do I mean?
You said it's going to be a few months,
so are you gonna sublet it
or are you gonna pay two rents
in the two most expensive cities in the country?
- Well, I'd probably stay with Rose in New York.
- Mm, that's cool.
Cool, cool, cool.
Uh, and what about your car?
Street sweeping.
You sure you want all those tickets?
- I'm not sure I'm even going yet.
- Okay.
Are you sure about that?
Because your heart seems
pretty darn set on it.
- Well, you would know, right?
I mean, you know everything I'm thinking and feeling
before I think it or feel it or say it.
- Okay, wow, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry that I'm so intuitive, okay?
But it's not exactly a walk in the park
for me either.
- Okay, I'm gonna get some air.
[clears throat]
- What was that?
- Sorry.
I'm sorry if I ruined our lunch.
- I don't have any lunch, Zoey.
- So if I hadn't heard Max's heart song
or Perry's,
none of this would have happened.
My whole goal was to have one nice day with Simon
and I couldn't even do that.
- It seems this potential Max news
really affected you.
- Well, he's forgotten how cold it gets there.
- Do you want to talk about why
you had such a big reaction to him leaving?
- No.
No, not if you're gonna dig all up in my subconscious
and tell me that
I still have feelings for him.
- Actually, I was connecting it more to loss.
You lost your dad,
your mentor, Joan,
and now you're worried that your best friend
might be leaving you, too.

- I'm sorry for spying on you.
And yes, I was spying.
But I have a good reason.
My beloved Arthur was a wonderful person.
But he had a very serious gambling habit.
I know, I know, why would I hang around a casino
if my husband nearly bankrupted us?
Because it makes me feel close to him.
- Oh, Deb.
- I have only known you a short time
and I don't think you're the type of person that would
be addicted to gambling,
but I didn't think Arthur was either
and I would just feel terrible if I was the one
that opened those floodgates.
- Deb, I have a confession to make, too.
That money that I was gambling with?
That was my last paycheck from Roger.
- The creepy architect with the Porsche?
- That's the one.
And the confession continues.
Come with me.
It just felt like blood money to me
and so I went to the casino and I thought,
"Well, it'll be gone in minutes."
But I just kept winning
and winning.
- [laughs] - And, uh, mm, winning.
And...
winning.
- Oh.
- It's like a sick joke, Deb.
- No, no.
It's a sign from the universe
telling you to do something magnificent with this money.
And I am such a good friend,
I will help you decide how to spend it.
Whee! [laughs]
[knocking on door]
- You know what they say,
if the dumplings don't come to you,
you go to the dumplings
and you order way too many for two human beings.
- Better be some pork buns in there.
- Heck yeah, there are pork buns.
I, uh,
need to apologize about yesterday.
I was a mess.
At the race,
I was totally distracted by
Mo and Perry at the restaurant,
and the whole point of yesterday was
to make it about you and...
I blew it.
- Hey. - [sighs]
- Is that why you think I'm upset?
- Yes?
And maybe my slightly outsized reaction to Max leaving.
- Yesterday was rough.
And if it showed me anything is that you--
you still have feelings for him.
- That's not what it was about.
No, I talked about it in therapy.
It's actually about-- - And if you do
have feelings for him,
we need to have a real conversation about that.
- Max is my friend.
And it caught me off guard.
That's it.
I'm not saying that I handled it well.
But do you think you and I
can try to find a way to move past this?
- Okay.
If you say that's all that it is,
I believe you.
I'll go grab some plates.

Would you grab me a glass of wine?

- What are you growing in here?
- These are your mom's winnings from the casino.
- Wait, you won this.
How?
- Well, I had a hot streak.
And now I'm trying to figure out
what to do with all of this.
I'm thinking that
I'll give some of it to Miles,
I'll give some of it
to pet shelters that are in the area.
- Yeah, your mom's dead-set on
doing something responsible
with this gift from above.
And I, for one, say
replacing the garage roof
is the way to go.
- It leaks every time it rains.
Plus I've noticed that there's also some--

- Dry rot, and I think we ought to replace it
before the whole thing caves in.
- That makes sense.
But maybe you could also use
just a part of the money for something fun?
- Okay, I could do a little damage at Nordstrom's.
- Or you could take a tropical vacation.
- That might be lonely.
Unless I had a wingman.
- There's a six night, seven day cruise to Ensenada
that looks fabulous.
- Okay, so a third goes to the garage,
a third to Miles,
and the last third goes to
all you can drink piña coladas on the lido deck.
- Ah!
- [chuckles] I am so excited
to show you this telenovela.
The drama is on point and
there is a woman with an actual eyepatch.
[chuckles]
Or we could watch something else.
- No.
It's fine, I-- [indistinct television chatter]
[TV switches off] Can we--
can we talk about something before we start?
When we met,
I knew I was instantly taken by you.
I still know it.
What I didn't know were the feelings that
this relationship would bring up in me.
My whole life, I passed as a straight guy,
I'm masculine, I played football,
I literally fought fire.
So when I told people I was gay, it was hard,
but I still started with a leg up,
because my family and friends
were still able to see me as the same Perry.
Perry with the deep voice, just with a guy on my arm.
But now, I'm starting to feel that same anxiety
I felt when I came out.
I don't want people to look at me differently.
I hate that I feel this way.
But I had to be honest with you because I care about you.
So much.
- Thank you for sharing your truth with me.
It has been a journey
to get to where I am today.
[soft emotional music]
Through all of the hate,
and shame, and pain,
and guilt.
I swam through all of that
to get to the other side.
♪ ♪
- [whispering] I know.
- No, you don't.
Because if you did know, you would know
by the time I got to the other side,
I promised myself
that I would never go back to that person.
The person that couldn't look themselves in the mirror,
because they were harboring all of the hate and laughs
to their core.
I will always have love for that person,
but he's gone.
- I'm not asking you to bring him back.
- Are you sure? Because it feels like you are.
- No. - Perry.
If you feel this way, then
I can't do this with you.
- Hey.
Still counting the receipts from yesterday's rush?
- Well, a rush would indicate that we actually made money,
which we definitely did not.
- Yesterday was not the best day.
And it was made all the worse by my behavior.
So, um...
I'm sorry that I overreacted.
But of course you should do the pop-up in New York.
And when you come back, whenever that is,
I will be here to celebrate you
because that's what best friends do.
- We can't keep doing this.
- Doing what? - This.
Yesterday was weird and uncomfortable.
You really upset Rose
and I bet Simon wasn't thrilled about it either.
We're never gonna grow as individuals
or with other people
if we don't get out of this cycle
or whatever you wanna call it.
I just--
I need some space.
[soft emotional music]
- Well,
[exhales]
I guess New York came at the right time then.
You can go on a trip
and you can get away from me.
I mean, that is if you decide to go.
- I'll let you know when I do.
