[dramatic song playing]
I can see you want it, want it ♪
Said I'm okay, I'm okay
But I'm not okay on the inside ♪
As a deer in headlights ♪
[Farrah] I'm scared
to say what I really want.
[Alex] What do you really want?
I'm on my hands and knees
Back on my hands and knees, knees ♪
[Farrah] I want to be your wife.
I want to have a family.
And
have that commitment.
[dramatic song continues]
So?
You don't think what we have
is a commitment?
It's not the ultimate commitment
that I have dreamed about
and wanted my whole life, and pictured
-The Holy Grail.
-Yeah, the Holy Grail.
My mom, they just
had their 25th anniversary,
and she's nurturing it every day, and
and that's how I want to be
with my partner
for the long-term.
For me, nothing would change
in the sense of a marriage or a wedding
because we already live together.
I mean, yes, you have your cats,
your house, but we live together.
I haven't fully moved in here,
and I want to
wake up next to you every day
and be successful in our own lives,
and then come together
at the end of the day.
That's my favorite time of the day
is looking forward to when you come home.
And, like
I think every day we've spent together,
we've gotten to know each other more,
and understand each other,
and who we are as people.
I think we go one step at a time
and see how we
end up at
an address or a destination.
[sighs] It's frustrating when Alex
responds with these vague answers,
but if I felt for any moment
that this is just
a way to string me along,
I feel like I would know that in my heart.
[producer] But you just told him
you want to marry him.
Yeah.
I don't know what tomorrow's gonna bring.
I might not even be here.
-But I know right now
-Don't say that!
-I'm just being realistic about
-That's very morbid.
No, but I'm just saying.
In this moment right now,
I think we see where we end up.

-I don't want to lose myself ♪
Don't want to lose myself
In your reply ♪
Holdin' on to what is left ♪
Is what I'm fighting for ♪

Now throw your hands up
Keep going non-stop ♪
We give what we got

[Mauricio] Don't you guys
love these walk streets?
[Farrah] Love, love, love them.
Transports you to a different world.
[Mauricio] I know.
[Alexia] They're so cute,
and quaint, and cozy, and
-neighborhood vibes.
-[Farrah] So cute.
-[Mauricio] This is it, guys, right here.
-[Farrah] Wow. Cool.
[Mauricio] This is the house
I was telling you about.
So excited for you to meet everybody.
Come in.
-[Alexia] Hi, everyone.
-[all greeting]
[Mauricio] How are you?
Shula, nice to see you. Gill.
[Alexia] This house is in the middle
of the walk streets in Venice,
which is such a unique experience
to be living in something like that.
A walk street is simply a house
that sits on a street
that only pedestrians can walk on.
So, front door faces a sidewalk,
and then this person across the street,
also a front door,
and they're also on a sidewalk,
so only people can walk there,
and there's no cars.
These properties in Venice are so prized
because they're unique.
It's very much a community,
and a neighborhood,
and everyone walks by,
and everyone knows you,
and they're waving, and it's a whole
other world to be in there.
I told you they were great people.
-I didn't lie.
-[Farrah] Yes.
So we have the families, and the families,
and the two sons, and the two daughters,
and a grandson.
You guys all make boys.
I have three boys and one daughter.
[Mauricio] Yeah.
And I have eight granddaughters
and seven grandsons.
[Mauricio] Mazel tov.
-And I have three great-granddaughters.
-[Farrah gasps] Wow!
-[gasps] Wow! That's pretty amazing.
-So I'm lucky.
[Alexia] What a big family.
You guys are so lucky.
[Mauricio] The Harel family
is a group of builders and investors.
They own a lot of property.
Bringing Farrah and Alexia
is more than just a sales tactic.
It's really to show the Harel family
that they're a family,
that we're a family,
and that really makes a lot of sense,
for two family businesses,
you know, to work together.
-[Gill] Let's go inside.
-[Alexia] Should we walk through?
-[Mauricio] Let's check this house out!
-[Alexia laughing]
[Gill] There's a lot to see.
Love the energy.
[Farrah and Alexia] Wow.
-[Alexia] You guys, I love it in here.
-[Farrah] This is so gorgeous.
[upbeat music playing]
In Venice, especially on the walk streets,
it's not a square footage game,
it's more the character of the house.
[Ron] That's why every
square inch of this house
is gonna have
a bunch of different wow factors
to really make this place look special.
[Alexia] Is this a refrigerator
just especially for herbs?
Yes, it's called the Urban Cultivator.
So, we are in Venice. What kind of herbs
are you growing in there?
[Ron] Everybody asks that question,
everybody wants to know the answer,
and, yes, you could.
-[Mauricio] You could. Isn't that cool?
-[Alexia] Wow.
And then the faucet to the left over there
dispenses sparkling water.
You could literally survive a zombie
apocalypse just with this one counter.
[Alexia] Should we continue upstairs?
-These stairs are so cool.
-[Farrah] Cool.
[Mauricio] So cool.
-Oh, my God. Look at these windows.
-[Alexia] It's stunning.
-This is so gorgeous.
-[Farrah] Stunning.
[Ron] Here we are in the spa suite.
[Farrah] Really, really pretty.
[Ron] Custom vanities with matching
custom mirror frames.
We have a Thermasol steam smart shower.
You can turn on your steam shower
while you're driving from the gym,
and it'll be ready for you
when you get here.
-You can actually watch Netflix in here.
-[Farrah laughs] Really?
Is this the shower that also
cleanses your chakras?
Yes, it cleanses everything.
[Mauricio] What a great house.
Aren't you glad I brought you here?
[Farrah] I love it.
-[Alexia] I'm in Venice all the time.
-[Farrah] She's a foodie.
-I love the food, the bars, the people.
-Shopping, I love the shopping.
-[Alexia] It's just a fun area altogether.
-[Gill] Exactly.
And you've got the cool neighbors,
you've got Julia Roberts,
Margot Robbie,
Robert Downey Jr. on Abbott Kinney.
I think, Alexia, you are the perfect
demographic to lead this listing.
And I trust you 100%.
And Farrah, help and support her
to put our best ideas for marketing,
and bring your people,
and everybody that you know
I have so much going on
and on my plate right now.
I don't have time to monitor Alexia.
But Mauricio does spring things on
like this.
It's expected,
and you kind of have to be flexible.
We're living in Mauricio's land.
[chuckling]
-[Mauricio] Good news for you.
-Okay.
If you guys crush it,
we actually have
those two houses to sell after this one.
-[Alexia] No way, those are also you guys?
-[Ron and Gill] Yes.
[Farrah] What? Oh, my God.
I'm so impressed.
[Alexia] That's so cool.
-[Farrah] We have to get this house sold.
-Talk about pressure.
[Alexia laughing]
I'm at a pivotal moment
in my career right now
because people are wondering,
"What is Mauricio's daughter capable of?"
So
[sighs] God, I hope I can handle
Venice and Milldale at the same time.
[exhales]
[Mauricio] Rock and roll.
Thank you so much.
Pleasure. Thank you.
You guys built a beautiful property
and we're super excited to get creative,
and get this thing going,
and earn the business on the other two.
-[Gill] Yes. We're excited.
-[Ron] Let's do it.
[upbeat music playing]
[man] Oh, no!
-[Amanda] Benny.
-Mmm-hmm?
I'm here.
-That's not your office.
-Uh, not yet.
This has been sitting empty,
and, like, I want to push in
to the one next door too.
[Kevin] What are you working on?
I'm just coming up
with a little marketing plan for myself.
I'm gonna solidify my social media plan.
I'm so tied into the music scene
that my Instagram is more music
than real estate.
Speaking of real estate,
I wanted to talk to you about Croft.
What's up, peeps?
-[Kevin] What's going on?
-[Sonika] Hey.
-[Kevin] Um
-[quietly] I wanted to talk about Croft.
[Kevin] Mmm-hmm.
[Sonika] Um, but I'd rather not have
this conversation in here.
Croft is a listing in West Hollywood
that I tried to get my name on.
Let's fluff the pillow.
That one pillow is bothering me.
I worked so hard,
I was on the listing presentation,
I gave so much good insight
about staging, and paint,
and light fixtures.
I did everything.
Let's go sit over there.
When we sent the listing contract
to the seller,
they didn't want me on it,
due to my lack of past sales experience.
How will I ever get a listing if
no one will ever let me list their home?
So, I just wanted to pull you aside,
because I've just been feeling
really frustrated about Croft,
and I'm really upset that I couldn't
get a little recognition for it.
It's not even about the money, it's like
just the principle of it.
Honestly, I don't know why they didn't
want you to be on the listing,
other than the fact that, like,
you're a new agent.
Because you did a lot, you know?
Taking over that listing.
It was very stale, it was on the market,
and then kind of reviving it,
and creating a new look
-You were a part of all that.
-I know.
You're gonna strike out a lot,
but that's the reality of this business.
There'll be a lot of "no's." I always say,
"Like a five-second funeral."
Sad for five seconds
and then you just move on.
Thanks.

The summer's crazy

These things, they still amaze me
Oh, let's just have a blast ♪
Little things don't faze me ♪
Though it might just seem ♪
If you want it enough
You know you got to just believe ♪
[Allie] Is that a terrible parking job?
Probably.
[grunts and laughs]
I don't want to scare you.
-Hi! I love you.
-[Allie] Hi! I love you.
[Melissa] Hi.
-[Allie] Let me take these off.
-Hi, Scottie, girl.
[Allie] Sound asleep.
-I just saw her little socksies.
-[Allie] I know!
Isn't this cute, little bow in her hair?
[Melissa] My mom
always put bows on my head.
-[Allie] Everybody thinks she's a boy.
-[Melissa] Why?
-[Allie] 'Cause her name's Scottie!
-Oh, duh.
[Allie] She's the cutest
when she's sleeping.
[Melissa] I wish that was me
when I was sleeping.
Recently, I've been waking up
in the middle of the night for an hour
and I can't go back to sleep
because my head is racing
with, like, deals, friends
Like, I literally wake up
at the same time, 3:30 or 4:30,
and I'll be up for an hour
with my head racing.
[Allie] And the fact that you're literally
sleeping next to Farrah in the other room.
-[Melissa] Yeah
-What's the situation
[Melissa] The last couple nights,
Farrah's been at Alex's.
[Allie] Okay.
Alex is just gonna be content with
the situation as long as she's content.
Because he thinks she's happy with
Exactly.
And tomorrow she has her birthday.
-[Allie] Yeah. Yeah.
-We're only getting older, so
And you don't want to be, like,
the 40-year-old, like, alone without kids.
Farrah has worked harder
than anyone I know in my life.
She doesn't take a break.
This girl works her fucking ass off.
But I know she isn't at her happiest.
She wants to have that commitment,
she wants to have that ring
and know that this is her forever.
Speaking of Farrah, she does
deserve a nice little celebration.
Farrah's throwing a birthday party,
-which you're coming to.
-Yes, very excited.
[Melissa] We're all be in costume,
because it's Halloween, "Farrah-ween."
-She deserves to have it all.
-Yeah, she does.
[Allie] Have you ever
had a conversation with Alex?
-[Melissa] About the marriage thing?
-Mmm-hmm. Would that be weird?
It's not my place.
[Allie] I'm just curious.
First of all, she's gorgeous.
She is the hardest worker,
and she comes from an amazing family.
What more could you
possibly want out of a woman
-than what you'd get with Farrah?
-I know.
I feel like Mau and Kyle probably
want this to move forward too.
Of course they do.
-Do they get on her about that? Or is it
-I honestly don't know.
I'm just curious
They want the best for her, and they know
what she wants, which is marriage.
The reason I think I feel so strongly
about Farrah and Alex
is that I've been
in her exact shoes before.
Farrah and Melissa, they're like
my little babies, you know?
Like, I'm a little older
than the both of them,
so I feel like I have some
experience that I can share with them
as far as relationships go.
For me, I was so young
when I met my ex-fiancé,
that I let myself invest myself too far
in someone who was not invested in me.
And I think that's why
it's hard to watch Farrah
spend too much time focusing on someone
that's not focusing enough on her.
I just don't wanna see her letting time
pass her by, like, alone.
Because she'll be spinning her wheels.
Yeah, not for her,
I don't see that for her. Yeah.
-She deserves to have it all.

[phone line ringing]
Hello?
-Hi, Anne.
How's it going?
Okay, how are you?
I'm good, you know.
It's been quite a ride
over a very short period of time.
[Anne] Yeah, it sure has.
[Joey] I can't believe we got 27 offers,
and I just kinda
wanted to get your thoughts.
We have our highest offer around eight.
Which is obviously, I think,
the dream number,
but I think that our team feels
pretty good about what that best offer is,
which is that seven-five-five-five number.
[Anne] Why is that?
Why do you think it's the best?
So, it really comes down to a holistic
kinda way of looking at the entire offer,
in terms of value,
rather than simply just numbers.
In this case, I know you talked about
how important it was
to have something
with a clean, smooth escrow.
You want the terms to be clean,
you want to know that whoever's
going into escrow will close,
without problems.
This buyer is gonna be able to close
in under a week,
-which is unbelievable.
-Wow.
He's gonna be all cash, non-contingent,
and even though this other guy
is claiming that they're gonna buy it
for something with an eight in front,
I really just don't think it makes sense
to risk the incredible deal
you have on the table,
for another guy who might
or might not have to take out a loan.
-That's just
-Yes.
You don't want to deal with financing
in this kind of situation.
I think this is the one.
I want to come through for my family
the same way that my grandparents
came through for me.
I mean, I understand the gravity of this.
This is more than just any
regular old deal,
this is a property that's been
in my family for years and years.
There's a lot of pressure on me
to perform.
There's zero option for failure
on this one.
I simply cannot let down my family
on this.
[Anne] Now, look, I have
I'm old enough
to have a pretty good sense of buyers.
I think the seven-five-five offer
You know, I wanna make sure
that things go smoothly
and it's a really clean escrow,
so we don't have to relist the house
and go through everything all over again.
I'm just so grateful
that we're on the same page, Anne.
We are totally on the same page.
It's rare to have
this kind of relationship with a client,
but I guess it kinda makes sense,
because we are family.
[laughing] Um
Thank you. I'll talk to you soon.
You talk to her?
Seven-five-five-five
It looks like it's done.
-[Farrah] Nice!
-[Joey] Accepted!
-Are they happy?
-They're very pleased with the service
-Okay, good!
-which is all I can ask for and more.
Knock on wood,
I think we just broke a record.
Super proud of Joey, and I know his aunt
is gonna be so proud of him.
He's gonna do an amazing sale.
It's gonna help him grow,
and, my God, 27 offers on one property?
That's incredible.
It's actually considered record-breaking
because we are receiving
the highest price per foot
for land in the Beverly Hills Flats
ever received.
Whoot-whoot!
You're doing a good job.
We're gonna refine it a tiny bit,
but for now, I'm gonna
let you have fun in the glory.
-Let me flap my wings?
-[Mauricio] Go dance, listen to music.
I hope you know I'm about to go
scream in my car with the windows up.
[Mauricio laughing]
-[Farrah] Okay, good. Bye!
-[Mauricio] Bye, bro.
[Joey laughs] Whoo!
[upbeat song playing]
I wish I could turn you off
The stupid things you say ♪
Doesn't matter
'Cause I'm gonna do it anyway ♪
I wish I could turn you off
And all the games you play ♪
Better move on
'Cause I'm not playin' with you today ♪
Not gonna slow down ♪
-So better come around ♪
-Hello.
-Hi. How are you?
-Good, how are you?
-[Alexia] You look adorable.
-Thank you. I love this leather.
-Like, so cute.
-Thank you.
I just got off a plane,
so I'm feeling "cas" today.
Oh, I got you a drink.
-[gasps] Oh! Thank you so much.
-Of course.
-I needed something with caffeine.
-I know, me too.
-I'm so exhausted.
-Mmm-hmm.
-[Alexia] How was your weekend?
-We went to a bunch of client parties.
It was Kevin's clients.
So, like, I talked about Kevin
being "such a good guy,"
and it was so nice.
When it comes to Kevin and I,
he's very supportive of me,
as I am of him, and
we just want to see each other thrive.
So, yeah, he's a good guy.
[sighs deeply]
This coach should be here any moment now.
I know, things will only get better.
She's apparently
an incredible real estate coach,
but she's also a semi life coach.
-I'm really excited.
-I feel the two of us are on the rise.
So, Farrah was nice enough
to set it up with us.
-[Sonika] I can't wait.
-Yeah.
I hope she talks about confidence.
That is why we are here today.
Because it's only onward and upward
from here on out.
[Sonika] Exactly.
How do you think Milldale went?
I think you did a great job, by the way.
Thank you.
I'm really proud of the situation.
I think it was really fun.
So many people were in that house.
Have you talked to Melissa at all since
Uh, no, I haven't. I just
I don't know, like,
I just felt really caught off guard.
Farrah pulled me aside
and she told me that you told Alexia
-Mmm-hmm.
-the grade that I would have given her.
I just felt like she needed to know.
I do appreciate
where you were at in telling me.
-It just sucked, the way it happened.
-I know. I just wanted you to know.
-[Alexia] I know. I totally get it.
-I would want the same for myself.
[laughing] So if anyone's talking shit,
you tell me.
Hearing Sonika say
that she would like to know
if people are talking about her
behind her back,
it makes me feel a little bit weird,
because
I do know something.
-Is this her?
-[Sonika gasps] Oh, my God. Yes
Hi! I'm Vivace, nice to meet you.
-Alexia. Nice to meet you.
-[Vivace] How are you?
-Hi! So nice to meet you.
-Hi! Nice to meet you, I'm Sonika.
-Sorry, my hands are freezing.
-[Sonika] You're fine.
-[Alexia] How's it going?
-I'm so excited to be here.
-[Alexia] Thank you for meeting with us.
-Of course.
[Alexia] We're so excited
to do this with you.
-I'm ready to take you to the next level.
-[Sonika] Please!
So, I want to take a look
at where are you now,
where would you like to get to,
and I'm gonna help you close the gap.
-[both] Okay.
-Okay?
So, um, I coach a lot of the top
real estate brokers in New York.
I'm nervous.
-[Vivace] Are you?
-Yeah.
So, let's look at each of you.
Year-to-date, Alexia,
what have you closed?
See, I don't even know
how to calculate what I've closed,
because, me alone,
I haven't done much at all.
I am like an accessory
of the Umansky Team,
and so everything I've done
has always been, like,
in assistance to my team.
-So, with my father, with my sister.
-Okay.
So, I feel like
I have this impostor syndrome,
where I don't feel like I should be here
or I deserve to be somewhere.
[inhales deeply]
Stop mindfucking yourself.
-[laughs] Seriously.
-[Vivace] Okay?
When you mindfuck yourself like this,
you cock-block yourself
out of opportunities.
Right? You're already checkmated
in your own head before you get up.
[Alexia] Like, I just It gets to me.
I realize I don't know
as much as my dad and my sister,
and so there's pressure, like, do people
I feel like a lot of people look at me.
[sighs]
[crying] And I get lots of messages, like,
"You don't deserve this."
-Like, people tell me that.
-What?
[crying] Um, followers
The public does.
[Vivace] They're not called followers,
they're called losers.
[Sonika] Yeah.
Your power is locked in this "pressure"
of what other people expect of you.
[Alexia] Yeah.
And we don't give a fuck
what they expect of you.
-[Alexia sighs heavily] Yeah.
-Have to let it go.
People overestimate me
and underestimate me.
Which is where my mind gets so messed up.
Because I'm like, "Which one am I?
I don't know what I am."
Which is why it's important
for me to just put the blinders on
and just focus on my own path.
But, like, reality is there's always gonna
be people all up in your business.
[breathes deeply]
I wish I didn't care so much
about what other people think.
[Vivace] What are your numbers?
What have you closed?
I've closed um, almost six million.
Okay. How do you feel about this?
-The number?
-Mmm-hmm.
-Uh, I wish it were higher. I do.
-Okay.
What would you like to do differently
going forward?
Confidence. I I want confidence.
I don't know how to get it.
I know that I need it.
So, what do you do
to connect with yourself now?
I am a musician.
-Okay.
-So, that's something that I
That's, like, my creative outlet.
I sing, and I write, and I play piano.
So, that's like a real moment
where I feel really good about myself.
I feel like, "I know this,
and this is just something
that comes out of me effortlessly."
So, why are you in real estate?
Like, is your heart in this game?
[downbeat music playing]
Because I know that I love it,
and I think that I
[Vivace] What do you love about it?
I love having the ability to help people.
That's what I love most about it.
But you can also work in the Peace Corps
if you want to help people.
-[laughing] Yeah.
-Okay?
So what do you love about real estate?
Well, I grew up around real estate,
and, like, I love it.
Like, I watched my mom build homes,
and I just love the design of everything.
And I think I have
a very creative mindset.
But you light up
when you talk about music.
I know, it's
And you sound a little robotic
when you're talking about real estate.
It's almost like
you're going through the motions.
-Yeah.
-But your heart's not in it.
Well, it's something that
I recently gave up. Um, music
But why? Why would you give up
something you're so passionate about?
Because I just felt like I couldn't do it.
Okay, what part could you not do?
Good, feel that.
-[laughs] Sorry.
-That's where your power is.
-Yeah.
-Unlock the power.
-[crying] Okay.
-Okay?
I just feel like I couldn't do it because
everybody had so many opinions about,
like, who I am as a person.
"Oh, you seem too smart."
"Play dumb when you go
into these meetings."
Because people want to mold you
and people want to tell you who to be.
People want to have that control over you.
And, like, the music that I sing is just
It's so not what's being
played on the radio.
Like, I sing, like, ballads.
And everybody tried to change who I was,
until I feel like I lost myself in that.
So that's why I, like, let it go.
This whole real estate thing
Are you being Sonika?
I do think so, but I also
I'm not buying it, sister.
[crying] I don't even know
who I am anymore or what I want.
-[upbeat song playing]
-I don't know what to do ♪
I don't know what to say
I don't know what to do ♪
I don't know what to say ♪
-Hello.
-[Ben] Hey.
-[Amanda] What's going on here?
-We're gonna do a little bit of a project.
-It's never, uh, relaxation
-With wine and you, it's always a project.
-That's hurtful.
-It's true.
[Ben] All right. Here we go.
Amanda is my girlfriend now
of a few years.
It was an office romance.
And my relationship with Amanda
is as serious as it gets pre-marriage.
-So, can we drink?
-I'm ready.
Are you?
Well, I know you're gonna do some kind of,
like, test to determine what
I want to know
if you're improving at this.
My wine knowledge is pretty deep.
I know it sounds douchey,
but I'm not kidding.
At one point, I was blind-tasting wine
five days a week for five years,
consecutively.
And they would come in
with the wine in the decanter,
and based on the color,
I would, like, say what I thought it was.
Uh, well, it's definitely
not a white wine.
[Ben] It is not a white wine.
All right, so we've made it
through the sight portion.
-Three fruits.
-[sniffs]
[Amanda] Hmm
Main fruit, grape.
-[Ben] That was adorable.
-Wait, wait, wait.
Before this all happens, how was your day?
[Ben] My day was good.
I mean, I am really close
to putting something together
for 17.5 to 18.
-[Amanda] Wow!
-I know.
-That's huge.
-$360,000 net commission.
Wow.
I know. It's good.
The problem is, though,
is, like, I get this from a cold call.
We end up bringing the buyer.
I understand the leverage of Mauricio.
You bring him in, okay, you have
a better chance to get it and to get paid.
But it's one thing
if he's gonna do work on it,
but they take a larger than usual cut.
It's $800,000 that we're
supposed to be splitting!
Commissions in our marketplace,
they're usually five percent,
and we split that down the middle
with the buyer's representative,
so two and a half percent to each side.
And then, of course,
we have a split with the firm
where they take
a meaningful piece off the top
for us to hang our license there.
If I were to go to another company,
I could be on like a 90/10 or 95/5 split.
But because I'm at The Agency,
the highest you can get is 80/20.
Which is low.
So far this year,
I'm already at 150 million in volume.
I mean, they've made
well over a million dollars from me.
-Easily.
-Well over.
Ugh.
That's so frustrating.
-It really, really pisses me off.
-Yeah.
And the thing is, like,
Compass is sending me pictures via text
of what my office would be.
Wow!
Then it's, "Hey, we're gonna add on
a marketing stipend for you."
"We're gonna give you this much money to
just spend putting your name out there."
Over the years, I have been
recruited by every firm in town.
I've been getting courted a lot.
I think, for so long,
my plan at The Agency
was to ride Mauricio's coattails.
But now that I've done that
and I have my own leverage,
selling 60 houses a year,
I have a team of over ten agents,
I guess the question now becomes,
as I've continued to rise,
how long is that larger-than-usual cut
for an agent of my caliber
really justifiable?
-As far as split goes
-Yeah.
I would basically be keeping 50% more
of what the firm takes from me now.
-It's a lot! It's six figures.
-Yeah.
-Ugh!
-Imagine what we could do with that.
So, what are you gonna do?
If they don't let me
grow into a space in the office
that can fit my team meeting,
and they don't allow me
to keep more of my own business,
I'm gonna have to seriously consider
this partnership.
Well, seriously consider
leaving the company, it sounds like.
-Yeah.
-[tense music playing]
[upbeat music playing]
[Farrah] What else
do we need to think about?
-'Cause we've got music, alcohol
-Yeah.
Decorations, flowers.
-What else?
-[Melissa] I think that's it.
My birthday is on Halloween,
and some previous "Farrahweens"
have been definitely epic.
Wanted to keep it small,
because I know you get a little nervy
when there's a shit-ton of people.
Like, on my 30th,
I feel like I said hi to every person,
but didn't talk to one.
-[Melissa] You had, like, a wedding. Yeah.
-That was crazy.
For my 30th birthday,
we invited 600 people.
I had a "Farrah's wheel."
It was really next level.
Where's Alexia?
I know y'all have a big house, but damn,
I told her to come down a while ago.
[Farrah] Oh, I found her
in my mom's closet.
She was having problems
with her nipples showing. [laughs]
-[Melissa] In her outfit?
-Yes.
-[Melissa] Oh, God.
-[both laughing]
-[Alexia] Hello! ♪
-[Melissa] Oh, there she is!
-[Alexia] Here we are ♪
-[Melissa] Oh, you have your outfit on?
-I have my socks and shoes on.
-[Melissa] What'd you decide to do?
-Skeleton? Oh, sick.
-Corpse bride.
[Farrah] Did you figure out
what to do with your nipples?
-[Alexia] Yes.
-[Farrah laughs] What'd you do? "Yes."
[laughs] Well, they're, um
They're still a little there.
[Melissa] Maybe you can ask Allie.
She wears these diapers on her nipples
for the milk.
-[Farrah] Yeah, that's a great idea.
-That's actually not a bad idea.
[Melissa] Yeah.
[Alexia] Guys, is there any,
like, gossip happening tonight, or
[Farrah] Oh!
I rely on you guys for all my tea.
[sighs] I just wanna
tell Sonika about the tea.
The The tea?
-Oh, yeah. The tea.
-[Alexia] The tea.
I was just feeling guilty
that we talked about it.
[Melissa] Mmm-hmm.
[Alexia] Kevin is Sonika's boyfriend,
and it's been eating at me
that I told Melissa and Farrah
what I found out.
Apparently Kevin and Amanda
have shared a make-out sesh.
It wasn't, I don't think, anything more,
but it was a make-out sesh.
Ben's girlfriend and Kevin have hooked up?
Yes. Make out.
I was feeling like a hypocrite
because we were talking about
not talking about each other
behind each other's back.
I'm gonna tell her
that you and I were hanging out
-[Melissa] Yeah.
-[Farrah] Who told you, by the way?
-I do not kiss and tell. Just kidding.
-[Melissa] It was a little birdy.
-[Farrah] You're not the one kissing.
-I'm not the one that's kissing.
So you're gonna tell her
that you talked about it?
Yeah, should I or is that totally weird?
No, you need to let it out.
Because if you keep holding it in,
you're gonna keep feeling bad.
Sonika could easily know,
and then you'll feel even way better.
But what if she doesn't, though?
-If she doesn't, I'm scared, and like
-[laughs] I'm scared too.
[Farrah] Definitely get this over with
earlier on in the night.
You're gonna feel guilty
every time you see her if you don't.
-[Melissa] I think so too.
-[Alexia] Yeah, just awkward.
-[sighs] Everyone pray for me.
-[Farrah] Okay.
I'm gonna heave.
[Melissa] I'd rather you heave here
than in front of her.
[Alexia laughing]
[scary hip-hop music playing]
[Melissa] Oh, my gosh, the Farrahween!
-[Melissa] Hi, y'all!
-[Amanda] Hi!
-[Melissa] It looks sick!
-[Allie] Everyone went all out.
[Sonika] Oh, my gosh, yeah.
On Farrahween, you cannot just show up
in a Joe Schmo costume.
Farrahween is the "it" party of the year.
Every woman is going to show up
in her sexiest outfit.
As long as it's sexy, you're good.

Like, I don't know who people are.

-Stop, stop, stop.
-Stop, enough.
-[Ben] Are you Run DMC?
[Joey] By the way, Camden is in escrow.
-[Jon] Nice. Big time.
-Yeah.
[Ben] I am really surprised
by the way Joey stepped up,
and I have to admit
Joey has definitely impressed me
in the last few months
certainly more than when he used to
come in in his pajamas at three o'clock
and just play ping pong.
So, I'm seeing his potential,
as much as it pains me to see it.
The mentor in me wants to, you know
get him under my arm
and kick him in the ass.
[Allie] Men over the age of 42
are less likely to get married.
-[man] That's the number?
-[Allie] It's so sad.
Listen, as hard as life can be,
with children, and a marriage,
and all these things,
there's nothing more fulfilling.
What is your life if you spend it alone?
[Mauricio] Nothing.

-[Allie] I know! We're so lucky.
-But, wait, Mau
-Yeah.
Before you just, like,
brush this off with Farrah
By the way, I don't

-Wait, hold on.
I know you don't wanna talk about it,
but I have to ask.
What I feel about
Alex not asking Farrah to marry him?
Um, honestly, it saddens me,
but I have no interest
in getting involved at all.
How do you sit back when it's your baby?
I want them to make a decision,
and I love him, and I love her.
But what I do want
is I want the decision to be made.
Right, but to make a fuckin' decision!
Kevin went to go get a drink.
Did Amanda go that way too?
Honestly, I think Amanda left.
[Sonika laughing]
-[Brandon] Hey.
-[Melissa] Hi, y'all.
-Um, can I talk to her real quick?
-[Alexia] Hi. What's up?
[Melissa] Have you talked to Sonika
about the tea that you heard?
-[Alexia] Oh, my God, no.
-Oh, God. I think you gotta tell her.
No, I I can't.
I'm not trying because "she did me wrong,
do her wrong" in any way,
but, like, you gotta tell her.
-Oh, my God!
-I know. I know.
This is so awkward.
This is so uncomfortable.
Sonika and I
are in a good place right now.
We're friends.
And I know that she appreciates honesty.
-You want to come talk with me for a sec?
-Yes.
-Let's go talk.
-[Sonika] I'm gonna put this down.
With the way Sonika handled everything
with Milldale and Melissa,
I feel like she's the kind of person
that would appreciate me telling her.
I've been feeling super weird about
a conversation that Melissa and I had,
and I was feeling
like a bit of a hypocrite,
because I was upset
people were talking about me,
and you were saying,
"I feel like you deserve to know."
And I'm just gonna preface it
by saying that this happened years ago.
It was nothing crazy.
I really don't think
it was anything too big of a deal,
but I did hear that
that Kevin and Amanda had made out before.
But I heard that,
that they were on a drunk night out,
they had made out before,
and I told Farrah and Melissa that.
[crying] I had no idea.
Do you really think that happened?
I wasn't there, and it got brought up,
and I was feeling super weird
about not saying anything.
-[crying] Thank you for telling me.
-Sonika
They're so close. Like, I just
-[Alexia] No, listen, Sonika
-But they're so close, like, still.
Aren't Amanda and Ben
gonna get married any day now?
[Sonika] Ugh. God, I
From what I heard
I don't want to tell my source.
[Sonika] It's okay.
But from what I heard,
it was a super extremely innocent,
in-the-moment, like situation.
Well, no, I've asked him before.
So, like, he didn't tell me that they did.
[tense music playing]
[Alexia] I'm so sorry.
And please fact-check. I just
-I'm gonna fact-check.
-I just wanted to come clean.
I trust you for saying that to me,
you know?
-I had no bad intention in sharing it.
-Are you kidding me?
You're the last person I would ever think
to have a bad intention, Alexia.
-Are you kidding me?
-I love you. I'm so sorry.
[Sonika] Just shut up.
[Mauricio] You're gonna
confuse us tonight.
[Farrah] I am?
-[Mauricio] Take off your glasses.
-[Farrah] Why, you have gray hair?
[Mauricio] No, no, no. Look.
Don't we look alike?
-[Farrah] Oh, yeah.
-[Allie] They say you marry your father.
[Alexia] Terrible joke.
-[Mauricio] Doesn't she look gorgeous?
-[Alex] Beautiful.
-I'm loving the, like, long hair.
-Don't you just love her to death?
-How do you feel about her being a bride?
-I love it.
Do you get, like, thoughts in your head
about walking her down the aisle?
[Mauricio] I do, I do.
[Allie] I feel like Farrah should try
the bride dress on.
-[dramatic music playing]
-[Farrah] Okay.
Allie, I understand what you're saying.
Like, back off and please go home.
-Bye.
-[Allie] Where'd you go?
Wait! No! You scared her away!
-[Alexia] No, you scared her away.
-[Mauricio] You scared me away.
I'm guessing she probably had
a few too many tequilas.
[chuckles]
Why is everybody so annoying?
Hinting at annoying things.
[Alex] Let's go get a drink, angel.
[Sonika] So, like
I know how close you and Amanda are.
I just spoke with Alexia.
She just told me Amanda
That you guys made out before we dated.
And I had absolutely no idea.
Listen, I wouldn't, like
