- Hudson made it very clear. Like, he doesn't want
anyone in the group going out with Ariana.
For me to be the one to, like, facilitate that

- Rowan-- her mom is Brooke Shields.
- I don't really know who that is.
- Hannah Montana's mom.
- Oh, God, she's bringing my dead mother.

I put my mother next to the two things

Christian wants to have all of you guys out.

- Do you mind if I just sip my cocktail?
Is that okay?
- Riley sees me, and, like, something breaks inside her
every time.
- To be honest, I feel like Riley kinda digs at everyone.
- But the way you say things are a little bit demeaning.
- You're bailing on boys night. - Boys night has disintegrated.
- Behind my back, he'd been stealing my idea for the club.
- Yo, Christian, there's a cab right here.

I think she's acting so out of character.
This is kind of the first time that Riley is hanging out
with the group in a while.
I think she's just in her head, and I'm just trying to hold on.
Can we go back? I'm gonna grab this.
- Yeah. - You ready?
We need to get Riley home.
- Why would I tether myself to those two in business?
- Because it's yours.
- I am opening a new club in New York City.
- Oh.
- The concept is a bowling alley club.
Do you officially like the name Club Club for the club?
- Yeah. - Okay, cool.
You want me to go into business with Omar?
- No, no, no.
No, I don't think you should go into business with Omar,
but I do think you should be, like,
somewhat involved in it somehow.
- I think I'm under explaining
how, like, genuinely traumatic everything was.
It is mine.
I would rather go and, like, make it on my own,
but it's stressful that they're also trying to do it
at the same time, and, la-la,
and, like, Omar has millions and millions of dollars,
so they can. You know what I mean?
- Fair. - It's just overwhelming.
I could, as an option, take-- sorry, sorry,
I'm ranting anyway.
- Where is the restroom? - Right there to the left.
- Any who, that was my year.
The thing with Emira is, I feel like
you just don't know where you stand.
When I apologized to her, I thought we were really good,
but we also have, like, a lot of, like,
under the surface tension. Like, where is this coming from?
I'm just trying to get to the bottom of it.
- What's going on?
- I just told them what happened with Charlie.
- Why did it look like you guys ended, like, in an argument?
- Because Emira turned to me, and she was like,
"Don't you think you should just
go into business with them?"
I was like, after the----ing story I just told you,
why the [BLEEP] is Charlie involved, you know?
Anyway. - Come in, girl.
Wait, are you guys okay? - Um--
- Me and Riley walked in, and I just didn't know
what was happening.
- I was confused by your question.
I'm not gonna lie, but I feel like
I provided a good answer. No? - No, no, you did. You did.
- Okay. I mean, is there anything?
- I'm okay with you.
I just, like, never brought up the Kevin of it all.
- I heard through the gay grapevine
you felt I was, like, flirting with Kevin on the trip.
- A little bit, yeah.
- I was literally-- I had - ing half of the burger.
How was your night?
- You know what? I didn't say anything
'cause I was like I know my man. I don't really care.
It was literally her just being overtly flirty
and, like, having her, like, grubby little hands
on his leg and, like, laughing, like ha-ha-ha.
I didn't think it was that big of a deal,
like, in the moment.
- Oh, I thought it was way bigger a deal for you
from what everyone was telling me.
- So, who was telling you that? - I mean, it's--
like, the way it was relayed to me,
okay, A, by Charlie, yes--
- Okay, continue.
- Um, I did not originally hear it from Charlie.
And then the way, like, Charlie then relayed it to me
over the past year was, like, that was the main issue.
- Got it. Okay, I think I need to
have a conversation with Charlie then.
It's like-- - Yeah.
- I mean, I feel like anything I would tell him in confidence,
I'm shocked that he would just, like--
- You're shocked? - That he would bring it around.
I mean, you know, we've had so many private conversations,
him and I.
Georgia has now changed the story.
First, she says it's the gay grapevine,
which is really her friend, Cooper,
and maybe my assistant, Nate,
but now I have to go ask Charlie.
- By the way, I did not know it was, like,
a private conversation, if that makes sense.
- Well, no, no, no, it wasn't that private.
I was like it's not that big of a deal.
- You assumed it wouldn't have been carried on.
Yeah. - Yeah.
- No.
- FYI, the guys are coming here. - Bring 'em all here.
- Wait, why does Charlie need to come?
- I'm gonna bring that up then.
- Are you sure he's coming because, like--
- The thing I was telling you about,
with her being all, like, touchy-feely towards Kevin--
- Yeah.
- Charlie is the one that basically, like,
circulated it around.
- Why? - Bring 'em all here.
- Yeah.
- Charlie is the biggest drama queen of us all.
- I feel like Brooks, sometimes, he's just really sensitive.
- He can suck my----ing dick. It's your birthday party.
I don't give a [BLEEP] if he's anxious.

in the world, but you cross her,
I think she might drop you off in the Hudson.

- I apologized to Georgia because although we disagree,
and I don't like her very much,
I still think that the way I acted
was out of character and inappropriate.
I really felt like I needed to own my mess
because no matter how much I don't like someone,
it's never okay to act like that.
- I think, with Riley, with the whole situation,
alcohol was, like, such a big part of it,
and I do have a lot of sympathy for making mistakes
when you're drunk because I've made quite a few.
The way I'm seeing it is, like, she wasn't in, like,
her right mind.
So, I can absolutely, like, move on
and give her a pass for this one.
Me and Ariana got really close really quickly.
- Please help me.
Show me the ropes in New York.
- We should go out tomorrow night.
- Yeah, let's go, for sure.
- But we're still learning each other
even though it's been a year.
Things are changing.
We're in different phases of our life.
It can be frustrating, at times, having to tell someone
your needs, but they won't know unless you tell them.
So, I'm preparing for that.

- Hi. - Hi. There she is.
Georgia, it's so good to see you.
- Hello. I've got my feet in a--
Gordon is my cousin and, like, one of my closest families.
He lives in California.
Our mothers are sisters, and we kind of, like,
understand each other better than, like, anyone else.
How is your mom? - She's doing well. Yeah.
- Is she retired yet?
- She-- I think she's gonna work until she's 95
because she likes it, you know.
- She likes it. - I know our moms are--
have a lot in common. I don't know.
Sometimes I think about their childhood encounters
with aliens,
because they all have this connection.
You know it.
- My mom-- and she has three sisters--
they all, to this day, swear that they were abducted
by aliens at some point in their childhood.
That is really quite a phenomenon, though,
if true. - It is, you know.
- If true-- you know what I mean?
I don't know if they wanna come and abduct
four Jewish girls from Florida
of all the people.
- I will never forget.
So, I was in Cape Town. - Yeah.
- And I got a call from you, sobbing.
- Oh, my God.
- And you're like, "I'm stuck in Singapore."
- That mother----er, I swear.
- Omar and Georgia are broken up, and like...
- What?
- She's, like, stranded in Singapore.
- One day, you're living in a $10,000 a month apartment.
You're with this man who you think you're gonna marry.
You get into a fight one night,
and he cuts you off financially.
- Yeah, well, glad that you are past that chapter,
you know. - Yes, 100%.
I don't think I was-- I was transparent
as I could have been about how traumatizing
the last relationship I was in was.
Like, the breakup coincided with, like,
me not knowing, like, what I wanted to do,
like, with-- you know, not the rest of my life
but the next, like, two, three years of my life.
And then I also got hit with, like, pretty bad depression,
which I literally haven't experienced
since, like, middle school. - Aww, Georgia.
- And it was-- it was rough.
I don't know if I told you this, but I've had, like,
an eating disorder on and off since I was in--
have I told you that?
- I've-I've, like, had some, like, hint of it.
- I mean, the breakup was sort of a catalyst,
but there was so much going on.
I was, like, not leaving the apartment.
I was not-- - Aww.
- I know. Oh, it's okay.
It's okay. I-I'm a-- I'm really good now,
but it took a lot.
I had to go, like, inpatient.
Did I tell you that? - Wow. No.
I mean, I may have seen, like, the People magazine.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- And I was like, are you okay? But--
- That's how, like, everyone found out.
Like, I didn't even tell, like, anyone.
A big problem for me historically
has been not wanting to show, like, vulnerability.
I think, with Gordon, like, it still feels,
like, a little awkward just to, like, call someone up
out of the blue and be like,
"Hey, like, I have an eating disorder.
"Like, what do you think?"
So, like a lot of close people in my life, actually,
he's sort of finding out with everyone else.
- I'm proud of you, Georgia. That's amazing.
- Thank you. I mean, I was, like, not proud of myself
for a really long time.
I was like, why is everyone saying they're proud of me?
Like, I-I feel like I, in a weird way, like,
kinda did this to myself. You know what I mean?
- I mean, I hear that. - Yeah.
- But, like, as someone who has also been through,
like, depressions, bad breakups,
like, career messes-- - Yeah.
- You know, one, like, it's, like,
when it rains, it pours. - Yeah.
- You know, I feel like, you know, people like you
and-and me, who are so passionate,
and so intense,
and want to get the absolute most out of life,
I feel like we can sort of seesaw or, like,
go all the way to the other end of the spectrum
when we hit a challenge. - Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
- Like, kind of runs in the family.
- Yeah, that's exactly it. - Mm-hmm.
- Yeah, it's, like, such a pendulum, you know.
- Yeah. - Which, I mean,
it's like I don't know if I would live life
any other way. - Same.
- But it's definitely, like, it's very fun,
but it's also, like, sometimes I'm like,
why can't I be normal?
- We're intense people.
- Like, you know what I mean? - Damn.

with Ariana, essentially.

but I take your word for it. - You haven't seen that.
- No, no. - No, dude, he's, like--
dude is pining for her.
Do I tell Hudson when he comes to this event tomorrow,

blatantly flirting on his girl?

- I gotta tell him that, right? - Yeah, definitely.

You should have already called him, frankly.

that Hudson is going through with Ariana.
I don't know if Liam is Ariana's type,
but, you know, if Shai wants to be the guy
to tell him that, so be it.
So, yo, tell me more about, like, what the [BLEEP] I missed

Is that his justification for it?

I reached out. I acknowledged my part in it.
I would say, uh, just when you see things getting
to that point, just let's walk off.
- Right.
- My hometown friends would never even let it get
to that point, ever in their life. So--
- You weren't listening to me.
I was giving you pizza, and water, and stuff
to try to get you to, like, maybe sober up a little bit.
I do feel like it's a little bit rude to say
that I didn't have your back
or that you're comparing me to your hometown.
- I never said that. - But I feel like
the way that you're getting at, right now,
is like I'm expecting you to be like my hometown friends,
and, like, they would never let me get to that point.
- I never said you. - Okay, my bad.
- I'm saying, for me,
I feel like you should know me enough
to where if she's antagonizing me,
you stop in the middle and make sure she's not.
- But she really was not coming at you very hard.
- Was she not antagonizing me, though?
- Not to the extent that you're making it seem.
- I'm not trying to victimize myself.
I did what I did.
I should not have done it.
I do feel like we have different definitions
of support.
I just don't want to feel like everyone has someone
that's always there except for me.
- Girl, I am always there, and I find it to be
a little bit rude that you're saying that I'm not.
To say that I'm not is, like, really hurtful to me.
- I didn't say that you're not.
I'm saying that there are better ways.
- You just-- okay, but you literally just said,
"Everyone has somebody except for me,"
but I'm right there for you.
So, if you need me to better do it,
then let me know how to better do it.
- Yes.
You can support me by actually being there for me
and instead of waiting and just letting people
talk to me crazy.
You're gonna just let that happen?
- No. - I would never do that for you.
- No, I'm not gonna let that happen.
- If you know I'm in an argument with her,
and you know she antagonizes me every single time,
and you know people are not gonna view it that way,
why wouldn't you, like, say something or stop it
before it even started? - I tried to.
- You keep doing this over, and over, and over again.
It's not fair. - What? I don't know what I'm doing.
I'm trying to ask you what I'm doing.
- You're not doing enough. That's the bottom line.
- Okay, I'm sorry.
Like, I really tried that night to make sure to support you
or to be on your side in any way.
And I'm sorry that you didn't feel that from me.
That was not my goal. - I didn't.
- I can only learn going forward.
- I just know how sh-- gets spun.
You weren't raised like me.
You don't know how this sh-- be turned.
I just sometimes feel like this sh-- unfair
and that's why I just take it on the chin
and just move forward. But I'm like--
- But you should be able to express how you feel
no matter what. - I should.
- Yeah, and I'm telling you this is a safe place,
and I'm sorry that I haven't known you for ten years
and I can't read your brain. - But what is--
It's not your fault. It's my fault.
I shouldn't have even let it get that far.
- But I-- it's my fault that I didn't stop you beforehand.
You can always tell me how you feel
and I can only learn if we talk about it
and we get through these things.
- It's like I know I did wrong
and I'm just, like, frustrated
because there's nothing I can do about it.
- Riley and I, we only became friends
a year and a half ago.
We are still working out the kinks.
It's not like you're 45 years old
and you're just screaming at a girl for no reason.
We're 23. We're figuring it out.
- I think when I first reunited with Ariana,
everything happened so quickly.
We became such close friends so fast.
We've had a lot of downs.
We've had a lot of ups.
But I think that's what happens
when you become so close but really haven't
fully relearned each other.
- When I got to Ariana's, I was already late,
but I wasn't anticipating there to be
a full-blown therapy session outside of the door.
Now I'm running extra late to a party that I'm hosting.
