Because in America,

Vanesja.
And you've set up a
whole press conference

Huge press conference.

I I can't wait.
Julio, she's here.
Wait oh, sorry, I gotta go.
Um, I think I have a lead on the oyster.
Isn't it at the bottom of the sea?
Well, yeah, it is,
but I think I found
someone who knows the sea.
What about Zappos and
getting your exception?
Oh, she's here, she's here. Gotta go.
Bye, bye, bye, bye.
Hi. Hello. Hi.

Um, thank you for taking this case.
Yes, okay. Bryce!
Where the fuck is he?
Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry.
Um, I got your water.
- My what?
- Your water.
You wanted a water.
I was being sarcastic, Bryce.
Oh.
You don't find my joke funny?
- I do. I do.
- It doesn't seem like you do.
[LAUGHS NERVOUSLY]
- Whatever. All right, Julio.
- Yes.
So you lost an earring
at the bottom of the sea?
I did, yes.
Uh, uh, it was, um, like, about an inch.
Can I see the picture?
I should have emailed
you yesterday about it.
- And you got the email?
- Oh, yes, yes.
Yeah, yeah.
Here.
[SIGHS] Okay, let's see here.
Um, since when do fish have jobs?
The mayor said that
if people were expected
to keep the waters clean,
fish and other water folk
should pull their weight with labor.
All right, Bryce.
Bryce!
Sorry, I'm here. I'm here, I'm here.
Earring's about an inch, gold.
You getting this down?
Yes.
I have it, yeah.
- Shaped like an oyster.
- Yep.
- With diamonds.
- Yep.
- Uh, do you have an extra pen?
- Bryce!
Sorry. Yeah, um, how many, roughly?
Is that relevant?
How would that not be relevant?
I don't know. I'm sorry. Okay.
Diamonds, multiple.
And a pearl.
Yep, a pearl.
I'll keep it up here. Mm-hmm.
All right, we'll let
you know when we find it.
Bryce, let's go.
Deedra won't let you down.
And I was just wondering for later,
what would you like for lunch?
Oh, I don't know.
Fish, maybe.
[CHUCKLES]
[LAUGHING]
- Julio.
- Yeah?
They already shut down the warm water.
Also, what are you doing
looking for that oyster?
The good people at Zappos
will get you an exception.
But that could take months.
Bibo can't with this right now.
Bibo has a big audition today.
The next L train will
arrive in 178 minutes.
What are you gonna do today, sweetie?
I don't know.
Apply for jobs, maybe?
Cannot believe that superhuman whatever
wouldn't give you your
job back at the mall.
What you need is God.
Come to church with me.
I don't believe in that stuff.
Sorry.
I'm not really into anything right now.
Why don't you go to Central Park?
It's nice.
It's no Florida, but
New York ain't so bad.
When I build a sandcastle,
I expect that next year
it will be there.
Isn't it fun?
Wanna know what's chilling?
This is me already in therapy.
I'm by far the youngest, and
I don't have to prove it.
Oh, honey, you're not
that young. [SCOFFS]
Face it, hating me is
easier than hating yourself.
Why don't you say that to my face?
So I arrive at Bianca's
restaurant opening
- Dina!
- Hi, Bianca.
Fashionably late.
And I am completely
disturbed by what I see.
Wait, Bianca, to your question,
what does Genevieve plan
on doing about that corner?
What corner?
That corner over there.
It's negative space.
What's the thought there?
People are expected to eat here.
They're gonna be disturbed by the hole.
Can I help you, Dina?
Oh, there's no need
to get all worked up.
I'm just asking a question.
I designed Bianca's restaurant.
And I think I know what I'm doing.
I went to SCAD. [SCOFFS]
Online.
Bombshell.
The degree was online,
but the computer was big.
Girls, girls, girls, please.
It's it's the big night. Come on.
So to get our minds off
all the drama in the city,
I decided to take the girls
to the Sandcastle Villas
and Golf Club in the Bahamas
for a little girls' trip.
Hopefully, all drama involving
the void stays in New York.
I packed my bikini, my sun hat,
and all the drama involving the void.
Isn't it fun?
- Love.
- It's fabulous.
And look, Genevieve, all
the corners are filled.
Well, looks like all that void drama
didn't stay in New York.
I didn't talk about
it. I wasn't talking.
You're literally speaking right now.
I'm not saying a word, sweetie.
I think this is in your head.
Don't talk to me when you talk to me.
Donnie, bring them more champagne.
They're already pretty drunk, sir.
[LAUGHS] Oh, my God, are they?
Did I fucking ask?
Good boy.
There's no need to get worked up.
I'm not getting worked up.
You're just stirring all this drama.
Well, Genevieve, I have been thinking,
and it's really [BLEEP] up
that I took a chance on you,
and you ruined my big
opening by negative space.
Everyone was disturbed by the void.
[SCOFFS] What is going on here?
I have been nothing but
Let's all wrap for the night.
Using my degree for good.
I'm up, down, fighting.
You know, she's crazy.
And I finally designed this
beautiful restaurant for her

Girls' room. Luxury.
I fucking never said that.
My credit card doesn't have a limit.

Don't say anything.
What is this? Who am I?
Everything's gonna be okay,
but you have to stay calm.
Power down.
[WHIRRING]
I'll stay back and close up.
Now, look, Genevieve.
- [PANTING] What?
- It's okay, okay?
They can't see us. The cameras are off.
But you need to stay calm, all right?
- Don't yell.
- Shh.
Gen, it's me, the real Bianca, okay?
Just breathe, all right? Just breathe.
Genevieve, I just
need you to watch this.
Hi, Genevieve. Oh, God.
If you're seeing this, I'm so sorry.
I tried my best, but I failed.
And the fact the fact
that you're seeing this
means you're no longer
under their control.
His control.
Who?
How?
Jared, the producer.
You've been trapped in
his sick little play.
What you believe is your life
has all been a simulation.
But now at least the
two of you are awake.
I can save you. We can escape.
You seem so familiar to me.
What is your name?
Brandon.
Ladies, tomorrow is the day, all right?
I'm gonna have control of this door.
I'm gonna change the code,
and I'm gonna leave it unlocked.
All you have to do is just make
it through one more day, okay?
And whatever you do, do
not go into Jared's office.
[TENSE MUSIC]
I'm so happy I booked this
Benihana-level experience
to get away from all that
drama back in the city.
My stomach's really upset.
I told you, Rellany, I
can't do "tort-ill-ee-ahs."
Uh, where's Brandon?
Upstairs with the boss.
I wonder what he did.
Genevieve, you're on fire!
Oh, my God.

Your God.
- Gen.
- What?
What is this?
Aw, hi, Bianca.
You look pretty.
What?
What is going on?
Why do you seem so familiar?
I know, right?
Probably because you
all have a little bit
of the source in you.
The source?
Yes.
The source.
Bitch, you're not that young.
The original True
Rich Woman of New York.
Beautiful.
Vicious.
My mom.
The human brain is such
an incredible thing.
[LAUGHS] You can mine whole worlds,
even after the body is gone.
I mined her brain for
your behavioral patterns.
You see, it's so easy
to find a mean rich lady.
But to make a mommy, a mother,
I had to go straight to the source.
Your mind is intertwined with hers.
It's Little Chicken Legs.
Don't call me that, Mommy, okay?
Because they're genetic,
and you know that,
and you know I got them from Dad.
And it is not my fault that
you two fucking hate each other!
Your mother used to pretend
to be sick on your birthday
so she would take the spotlight.
[GROANS]
She pretended to be
gay when you came out.
Enough!
Enough, okay? [LAUGHS]
None of that matters anymore.
Because now I get to play
with her, through you, forever.
Let us go.
Go?
Is that what you want?
Yes.
[SIGHS]
I mean, okay.
- The door is over there.
- Oh, thank God.
Jesus.
[SIGHS]
Have fun in prison.
[LAUGHS]
Or did you forget?
You're here because you
signed a contract, remember?
Better this than going to
jail for tax fraud, right?
Aw, ladies, don't be afraid.
Uncle Sam and I, we've
reached an understanding.
After all, you are
our greatest export
an aspirational way of life.
Well, why set us free, then?
Why are you getting this?
Sometimes it's good to,
like, rattle the cages.
Your attempts at freedom were
the perfect season finale!
[LAUGHS]
Anyway, what are we thinking?
A couple more seasons?
I don't think they have
bodycon dresses in prison.
Coming up next on "The
True Women of New York."
Last night, I was thinking
about my childhood,
and I couldn't remember any of it.
I couldn't remember my
my parents.
There she goes again.
I just think it's distasteful
to not do a root touch-up
before a night out.
This is called a style.
I'm sorry.
So then they purposely unhypnotized him.
I mean, it was like a a circus.
I loved it.
Uh. Hmm.
[BUZZING]
So tell us, how does it feel
to finally see yourself represented?
And, uh, do me a favor
just throw in something in,
you know, Spanish.
It feels incredible to
finally get a script
where I feel myself represented.
When I got it, I was like, ay dios mio!
Julio Cutio, will you show
her how we actually, uh,
you know, envision the line?
Abuela, I wasn't hiding in the cupboard.
Uh, no, uh, they need it to be
a little more like Pixar acting.
So like, Abuela, I wasn't
hiding in the cupboard.
I was just looking for salt?
Is it is it true your
tamales are made with magic?
Exquisite.
I think she's it.
- [LAUGHS] Adios.
- Yay!
Please, let's not do this show.
I have a bunch of other scripts.
Do you remember that
dolphin that got stuck
in the Gowanus Canal in South Brooklyn?
It would be a really,
really, really great movie,
maybe like a three-hour.
Um, uh, the dolphin, no one
knows how it got there
Okay, I'm sorry. Just stop it.
Stop it, really.
Just it's just, a time comes when
you gotta grow up and
just move product, sweetie.
That was incredible.
So transformative.
I saw you through the glass.
What's your process like?
I study people, and I contour.
Oh, that's amazing.
I love talking to actors.
Um, like picking their brain.
Yeah, so obviously, you got the part.
Yes, correct. Thank you.
Yeah, so I'm just gonna
need to see your SAG card
and Proof of Existence.
I I don't have those things.
What?
I'm a robot.
I tried applying, but the
forms have no box for Bibo.
So you say you want my ideas,
but then you want them
to fit into your boxes,
so really, there's no
room for anything new.

I'm listening.
I really see myself in these stories,
and I think other people
like me would agree.
Maybe we can think of something.
This is absolutely ridiculous.
He auditioned for the part.
He got the part. You liked what he did.
Just give him the part.
Look, I have an idea, though.
We can't hire him as an actor,
but there's no reason we
can't hire him as prop.
That's very insulting.
Bibo's not gonna do that.
- Deal!
- Bibo!
This is this is insane.
I I do this without Proof.
Why why can't Bibo?
Well, you have a Proof case pending.
Well, surely we can
find an exception, maybe.
Bibo does not want to be an exception.
Bibo wants to be an actor.

I have to make a confession.
This big press conference, I, um
I don't know what it's about.
It's okay.
I got the big idea.
I've been thinking about it all morning.
- Oh.
- Yeah.
You know I play a homeless gay teen
on "Cunty Little Rich
Kids School of Magic"?
Yes, of course.
It just feels wrong.
I'm just getting super rich
by exploiting the plight
of people less fortunate than me.
Baby, who taught you plight?
And everyone celebrates me. [SCOFFS]
But fuck that, yo!
'Cause I get fucking paid.
And the network, the
network, the fucking network,
makes money off it.
And Big Oil bought the network.
And then people watching
the show, they're like,
wow, yay, we're seeing progress.
But what they don't even
realize is just by watching it,
they're widening the wealth gap
by actively enriching the very people
oppressing those they
claim to represent.
I thought you knew.
So here's my pitch.
What if we all stop doing the show
until the people at the top
promise to redistribute what they earn?
We can line up, link
arms, do a real "boy-cutt."
A what?
I can get the whole cast in on it.
Maybe we can even get
the entire industry
to be paid equally, hmm?

- Yes.
So you lost an earring
at the bottom of the sea?
I did, yes.
Uh, uh, it was, um, like, about an inch.
Can I see the picture?
I should have emailed
you yesterday about it.
- And you got the email?
- Oh, yes, yes.
Yeah, yeah.
Here.
[SIGHS] Okay, let's see here.
Um, since when do fish have jobs?
The mayor said that
if people were expected
to keep the waters clean,
fish and other water folk
should pull their weight with labor.
All right, Bryce.
Bryce!
Sorry, I'm here. I'm here, I'm here.
Earring's about an inch, gold.
You getting this down?
Yes.
I have it, yeah.
- Shaped like an oyster.
- Yep.
- With diamonds.
- Yep.
- Uh, do you have an extra pen?
- Bryce!
Sorry. Yeah, um, how many, roughly?
Is that relevant?
How would that not be relevant?
I don't know. I'm sorry. Okay.
Diamonds, multiple.
And a pearl.
Yep, a pearl.
I'll keep it up here. Mm-hmm.
All right, we'll let
you know when we find it.
Bryce, let's go.
Deedra won't let you down.
And I was just wondering for later,
what would you like for lunch?
Oh, I don't know.
Fish, maybe.
[CHUCKLES]
[LAUGHING]
- Julio.
- Yeah?
They already shut down the warm water.
Also, what are you doing
looking for that oyster?
The good people at Zappos
will get you an exception.
But that could take months.
Bibo can't with this right now.
Bibo has a big audition today.
The next L train will
arrive in 178 minutes.
What are you gonna do today, sweetie?
I don't know.
Apply for jobs, maybe?
Cannot believe that superhuman whatever

Come to church with me.
I don't believe in that stuff.
Sorry.
I'm not really into anything right now.
Why don't you go to Central Park?
It's nice.
It's no Florida, but
New York ain't so bad.

I expect that next year
it will be there.

Wanna know what's chilling?
This is me already in therapy.

I don't have to prove it.
Oh, honey, you're not

Why don't you say that to my face?
So I arrive at Bianca's

- Dina!
- Hi, Bianca.
Fashionably late.
And I am completely
disturbed by what I see.
Wait, Bianca, to your question,
what does Genevieve plan
on doing about that corner?
What corner?
That corner over there.
It's negative space.
What's the thought there?
People are expected to eat here.
They're gonna be disturbed by the hole.
Can I help you, Dina?
Oh, there's no need
to get all worked up.
I'm just asking a question.
I designed Bianca's restaurant.
And I think I know what I'm doing.
I went to SCAD. [SCOFFS]
Online.
Bombshell.
The degree was online,
but the computer was big.
Girls, girls, girls, please.
It's it's the big night. Come on.
So to get our minds off
all the drama in the city,
I decided to take the girls
to the Sandcastle Villas
and Golf Club in the Bahamas
for a little girls' trip.
Hopefully, all drama involving
the void stays in New York.
I packed my bikini, my sun hat,
and all the drama involving the void.
Isn't it fun?
- Love.
- It's fabulous.
And look, Genevieve, all
the corners are filled.
Well, looks like all that void drama
didn't stay in New York.
I didn't talk about
it. I wasn't talking.
You're literally speaking right now.
I'm not saying a word, sweetie.
I think this is in your head.
Don't talk to me when you talk to me.
Donnie, bring them more champagne.
They're already pretty drunk, sir.

Did I fucking ask?
Good boy.
There's no need to get worked up.
I'm not getting worked up.
You're just stirring all this drama.
Well, Genevieve, I have been thinking,
and it's really [BLEEP] up

Abuela, I wasn't hiding in the cupboard.
Uh, no, uh, they need it to be
