Where is Julia?
Um, Julia got a little tied up,
so I'm gonna FaceTime her,
so she's gonna view the space
with you over FaceTime
- I wanted her to come
- I know. I'm sorry
She got tied up in meetings
- She said that she'd come. [laughs]
- I know. Sorry
Okay, that's fine
[Cristin] Okay, thank you
[JD] This is the entire 11th floor
It is 11,511 rentable square feet
Uniquely, you have light on four sides
[FaceTime line ringing, picks up]
Hi
Hi, my love! I sent Cristin in my stead
because, uh, one of the investors
for the IPO called
Yeah, I understand
I understand, my love,
but we organized this
We knew about your call
It was all prepared
I wanted so much that you were here
I am here!
Well, no, you are there
No, you're not here
[Julia] Silvio needs office space
because he just started a fund,
but I'm speaking to this group
of massive investors,
and they want to talk to me now
There's nothing I can do
- So we're all here now. [laughing]
- Yes, yes
[JD] Julia, so good for you
to be joining us virtually
Oh, boy. It's not gonna be a good
evening for me. Let me tell you
[Silvio] Can you see anything?
Maybe from above? [chuckles]
- Here. Like this
- Okay, okay. Now I just see your thumb
- Do you see?
- She just sees your thumb
- Okay, let's do it again. Now do you see?
- I now see ceiling
If you were here,
you would have seen the whole thing
- We can do anything, you and I
- No, no
We can't do too many of these "Z"
I can't do a "Z" a "Z" date
I can't have a-a "Z" marriage
- [Silvio chuckles]
- [Julia chuckles sarcastically]
Love you
Do you "Z" love me?
- I "Z" love you
- [Silvio] Okay
- I "Z" you later
- Okay, see you later
[upbeat music playing]
- [man] Welcome. How are you this morning?
- [Robert] I'm well, thank you
I need to lose weight. I just, like,
don't want to stop eating
or drinking wine
- Robert? I'm ready for you
- Great. Thanks
So I'm seeing
Dr. Rosen today to understand,
like, are there other factors
in my life that are preventing me,
other than what I shovel into my mouth
and my lack of movement,
that are preventing me from losing weight?
So this will be interesting
Pleasure to meet you
Nice to meet you too, Robert
What can I do for you?
Um, I was pretty thin in college
I don't know if it was stress,
or just New York City or what it was,
I gained a bunch of weight
I've been pretty successful
in taking it off,
but it's just taken probably
a year and a half to lose 40 pounds
- It's still a huge accomplishment
- For sure
I've hit this plateau
I'm like stuck where I'm at,
and I just want to kickstart it
Sure. It's incredible how far you've come
We do a lot of weight loss here
Nutritionists you can work with,
we have medications
- A balloon that goes in stomachs
- I've heard about the balloon
- It's a modified breast implant
- Love, even more
that we put into your stomach
"Are you hungry?"
No, I've eaten a breast implant for lunch
I'm gonna run through symptoms
relating to obesity,
you tell me if any of these
are issues for you
That tingly part in your brain,
like when you have cheese? I have that
Whatever that thing is
when you put cheese in your mouth
and you get that little That
Mark that down, please
Coming up three flights of stairs,
do you feel short of breath?
Yeah
Two flights, I can manage
- Three flights? Ooh, lord! Marathon
- Right
- It's a full stop
- It's a rest, reset, start again
I feel you
Okay
It says that you have
no significant family history known,
and you didn't fill anything out
So your family is healthy?
Um, well, actually, I'm adopted,
so I have no information
Were your parents normal weight?
Yeah, my brother's normal weight,
my mother's normal weight
- I wish I had that gene pool
- That must be hard
[emotional music playing]
The fact that you don't know
your birth parents makes it hard for you
to necessarily see where you come from,
and I can imagine
that in your late teens, early twenties,
as the weight became an issue, that you
were left a little bit out on an island
For sure
The rest of your family
isn't struggling with those issues
Yeah, exactly
This is why I need
to find this birth person
This information is gonna
be valuable to me
I know that me reaching out to this person
is not something my family wants me to do,
but this is my life
This is a life-changing opportunity,
but I don't know how to proceed
I need to think through my next steps
[upbeat music playing]
How you doing?
- Good
- Good to see you. How's Ima?
- Same
Ima's good. Chefie made pasta
Ooh, yum
- Yeah
- Homemade pasta!
- Doesn't get better than that
- Mac and cheese
- So what else is going on?
- So, um
Shlomo and Miriam, they're telling me
I should be more relaxed with things
Like Jewish stuff, and girls, I shouldn't
make a thing out of everything
Well, look. So certainly, you know,
they're not asking you to do something
halacha
To them, it's not transgressing,
because they have their viewpoints
They're not asking you to eat
something that's not kosher, right?
They're they're trying to encourage you
to have more of a positive outlook,
like your situation with school
and talking with girls
- Yeah
- I know it's definitely different
than your experience in Monsey,
but there's nothing prohibited or assur,
talking or having conversation or
Well, the Mishnayos says,
"Lo tarbe sicha"
Can't speak to girls,
have excessive conversation
It doesn't say don't speak to girls
It says, "overdo it."
This idea of getting intimate with people
that you shouldn't be intimate with
That doesn't mean
you're touching or kissing a girl
You're classmates
It's totally okay to talk to them
There's absolutely no, you know, no issue
You shouldn't feel guilty about it
You respect them, which is important,
respect the women,
and you could be friends as well
When you say that, where am I able
to be friends or just friendly?
Are you friends with any girls?
- Am I friends with any girls?
- Mm-hmm
Yeah, there's there's people in my life
who I could talk to,
who I'm not married to
Nothing wrong with that
Interesting
We were a pretty yeshivish family
How did you get from,
like, more modern outlooks to this?
That's the nice thing
about Judaism in general
There's no one-size-fits-all
It's what you make out of it. [chuckles]
It's what you make of it? Yeah!
Really good way to look at it
There's all sorts of Orthodox Jews
out there,
they share a tradition of life
Some people start out more strict,
and then they get less strict
Some people who are less strict
become more strict,
and there's a lot of leeway in between
So, you know, where you are in your life
and your path,
you as a person have to choose
what that path is
[thoughtful music playing]
[indistinct conversations]
[line ringing]
[automated voice] The mailbox is full and
cannot accept any messages at this time
Goodbye
[waiter] How are you doing, sir?
It's been a while, I'm watching
You sure you
We need to be patient here
We'll get there
I hope she's arriving in ten minutes
Very nice. I'm just concerned about you
If you need anything, let me know
- I appreciate it
- No problem
We can have like a Q and A, and answer it,
and, um, we'll take it from there
All right, I got to go,
but let's talk about it tomorrow,
and we'll plan everything out
- Hey, my love
- Hey
Sorry I'm so late
You're half an hour late
[Julia] Mm-hmm
Oh, my love, I'm so tired. What a day
What's going on?
I've been sitting here waiting for you
I organized all my day
in order to be here on time
I was just looking forward to this,
and I just felt an idiot here. I mean
- Literally 40 minutes
- My love, I'm sorry
- wondering what was happening
- My love, I literally had my phone off
I was in the middle
of a massive presentation
with like 20 people,
and I didn't have my phone
I wish I could've been here earlier,
and I didn't see the time
until I walked out the door,
and then I would have called you
except that I got another call,
and then,
as you saw when I walked here,
I was still on the phone
So I'm very sorry. I'm sorry you had to
wait here by yourself. I'm super sorry
Are you becoming a workaholic?
I'm not becoming one,
I've been a workaholic
since the day you met me,
and I warned you about that from day one
Remember what you said?
- What did you say?
- "You're not easy."
You said, "Julia, you're not easy,
but easy is boring."
The main thing I would change
about my relationship with Julia
is to get more time for the two of us
She's so busy
on a thousand different things,
but I really have different priorities
There is a balance in every life
Everything is about priorities
My love, there's no balance
I don't have balance
[Silvio] That's the wrong approach
People have other things to do
and other priorities
Let's try to get organized,
respect a little bit my time
as you respect yours
No, I mean, you're not the only one
on this mother Earth
My love, let's just calm down
Can we please order,
- have a drink, and have a nice time?
- No!
[dramatic music playing]
[upbeat music playing]
Do I want to know what these are?
Oh, I do know what these are!
It's pillowcases!
These are very special
hypoallergenic pillowcases
from my dermatologist
I don't know why they're in your room
- So did you have a good time this week?
- Yeah, it was fun
- Did, um, Dalia text you?
- Mm-hmm
- She did?
- It'd be weird if she didn't text me
It would be weird if she didn't text you
What did she say?
- Said, "That was fun."
- Can I see?
- Nothing interesting
- No?
Really? You got something to hide?
I realized after seeing her
that I've rethought my decision
Really?
I was thinking about why I stopped
talking to girls and watching TV
wasn't for the right reasons
So, I was just doing
what my friends said was right,
not what actually is right
Wow. I'm so proud of you
- So now what does this mean?
- This means I'll speak to girls
- Yay!
shomer. Do it right
- Okay
- Well, my right
We can start with speaking
We'll move on to other things
in another time. When you're 17
Until then, girls and friendship,
I'm totally down with that
- Um, television?
- With mother. I won't watch it by myself
Excellent
Having fun?
- I'm still having fun
- Not always learning Torah?
Like, having a good time, as well?
- I'm always having fun
- Okay
[Aron] Everything in life happens
for a purpose, I believe
Between the modern and Yeshivish,
I think I'd be in the middle
That's me, as a person, growing up,
and my personality is in this button
[traditional Jewish music
playing through button]
[chuckles]
I'm so proud of you
You really scared the living daylights
- [laughing] I made you cry
- You made me cry
That wasn't good
[Julia] I just feel really grateful
People in my community,
women who leave,
most of them lose their children,
so I'm not going to push him
What I've learned is to just be loving
and to constantly show him
the beauty of the outside world
- It's good to have fun and enjoy life
- I'm having fun, I'm enjoying life
- I know. You have an awesome mom
- Yeah
[laughing]
And then Chris and Ayesha
wanted to meet today,
um, just to go over
some contracts with you
- Okay
- We can probably fit that in at like 4:30
4:30. All right
Hello
[Julia] Hey, beautiful
- Hey
- [Batsheva] Hey, Cristin
[Julia] Come on in, babe. Hold on
- [Batsheva] Busy day?
- Always a busy day
- [Cristin] How's your day going?
- Good. Exciting
I deserve to be chosen
for this position at Elite
because a big part of Elite is to help
models develop their social media
so that they can build their own brands
So I'm the perfect person to step in
- [Julia] Hello! Sorry, I'm
- [Cristin] No, you're fine
- I'm good?
- [Cristin] I'm gonna go. Okay
- I have some exciting news to share
- Yes?
I just landed a deal with a yoga company
for the highest-paid deal
I've ever received to date
Okay
For ten grand
for three sponsored Instagram posts
with the possibility
of being a long-term partnership
And I'm just really I was excited
to come share that news with you
Okay
[Batsheva] I want the position
If it means I need to one-up my siblings,
I think that I really have the power
and the knowledge to help Elite grow
I had a business idea for the company,
especially with regard to going public
You have all these different platforms
Um, but your
your platforms use other platforms,
like Facebook, Instagram, TikTok
So I was thinking,
since Elite is all about integrating
their platform into business models,
um, I'm thinking of, you know, maybe going
to business school, maybe pursue that
- instead of going to law school
- Yeah
I don't have a problem
trying to one-up my sisters
They're both trying to do it to me
It's a competition
We're all gonna
try our best to do the best
[Miriam] So I am a month and a half
ahead of schedule
I finished the EML app
That what I've been working on,
and been doing Eazitt stuff
This is Eazitt
This weekend we're going
to be shipping the the actual beta app
And there's one more thing
I wanted to tell you
- Okay
- I have this idea
Another idea
that I think will be really cool for us
I have business experience,
entrepreneurship experience,
and I'm about to launch
my own app in South Africa: Eazitt
Um
What's with the face?
I don't think that's enough money for you
What are the deal parameters?
- Are you getting a percentage of sales?
- No
- Are you creating the content or are they?
- I'm creating the content
Do they get the rights
to that content afterwards?
Can they post that content on their page?
- Yes
- So it's not just three posts
They can reuse that five years from now,
and you're not gonna get paid
a dollar more
- Is there exclusivity attached?
- Yes, for three months
So that means that if
any other yoga brand comes along,
you've given up your rights to that for
3K a post. I don't think that's worth it
You made a commitment,
you decided you were going this way,
you've been studying for the LSA
What you really need to think about is,
"What's the goal?"
'Cause, yeah, it sounds really cool,
but does it get you to your goal?
What's your goal?
What do you want to accomplish?
You told me you wanted to be a lawyer
You know, law school will always be there
- And, you know, this opportunity
- Yeah, but you're not 12, you're 24
I mean, again, look at you
Yeah, don't do it my way!
I wouldn't wish this on anybody
You need to stay on one path
Focus on taking the LSAT,
getting your law degree, learning to be
literally the world's best lawyer
Um, okay
Right now you are
finishing up the EML app,
you are launching Eazitt,
you're not prepared for the launch,
now you're starting another project
Do one thing at a time and do it well
Everything will happen. I'm confident
Babe, you're always confident
everything will happen,
then you get disorganized
and things don't go the way you planned
I would go back, I would ask for 20K
20K, I think is, like, an extreme amount
for someone at my level
I don't think so
Do not sell yourself short
Stay focused. I think it's gonna be
important for your life
[Miriam] Mm-hmm
- Love you
- [Batsheva] Love you
[tense music playing]
- Okay. Let's do
- [video call ringing]
[yoga brand rep] Hi
- Hi, how are you?
- Been doing really well. How are you?
I'm doing well. Thank you
I, um, really love the opportunity
that you gave to me,
and of course I love
your brand, it's incredible
Um, but after reviewing over the contract,
before I sign, I do have
some changes I would like to make
I know I am at a million followers,
and I feel like I do
I should be asking for more money
[tense music playing]
I actually thought
that this was a done deal,
so I'm caught a little bit
off guard by this call
I do have a large conversion to sale
So I don't think it's really fair for me
to be included
in, let's say, the $3,000 price range
that we have, right now,
figured out, proposed
Hm
I have to talk this over
with the rest of the team
before I can say one way or another
- Okay
- But I'll get back to you
Okay. Have a great day
Okay
- I hate revolving doors
- Why?
[groans] God. Guys, I may have
really just lost a huge deal
- because Ima told me that
- 'Cause what?
Basically, I walked in
like all happy, all proud,
because I got this deal
from a yoga brand
They offered me $10,000 for three posts
- Nice
- [Miriam] That's so big!
[Batsheva] Which is the biggest deal
I've ever had,
and I was all excited
to share this news with Ima
She was like, "You haven't
really thought this through."
"I don't think $10,000 is enough money."
"How long are they having
you use the content?"
"Are you getting a percentage of sales?"
"How long is the exclusivity?"
She's asking all these questions
She's like, "You should ask for $20,000."
All these big asks, which, like
I don't feel like I'm in that bracket
Yeah, yeah, totally
So basically I had to reach out
to the person, my contact at the team
- [Miriam] Did you listen to Ima?
- We're all trying to get in, you know?
- [Miriam] Totally
- I want to take her advice
But I didn't get, like,
a very wonderful feeling,
and now I keep checking my e-mail
like, "Is she gonna get back to me?"
So I went in today also, and she's like,
"Oh, you're you're getting old."
- [Batsheva] She said you're getting old?
- Yeah. Like, I'm 24!
Also, like, she started her whole thing,
like, when she was 40
"You can no longer do hobbies
You have to make decisions."
[Miriam] Wow
That's crazy. It's like
- Oh, fuck
- [Miriam] What?
- My God
- [Shlomo] Good news? Bad news?
They said, "Based on
our earlier conversation,
we've decided to take our brand
in a different direction."
- [Miriam gasps]
- "We appreciate you taking time
to connect with us and wish you luck
on your future endeavors."
I'm just really, really upset right now
because that was the biggest deal
I've ever received,
and now I just lost it
because I listened to my mom's advice
- Oh my God. I'm so sorry, B
- [Shlomo] Yeah, Bat, that sucks
Fuck. Fuck, fuck, fuck! It's not fair
- [Robert] Hey
- [Julia] Hey
[groans] You're making me move
I needed some comfort in my life
- What is going on?
- I don't know. It's just weird stuff
Tell me more
Wait, hold that thought
You want a drink? I'm thirsty
- Please. But what kind of drink?
- One second
- I have Diet Coke
- Oh. Not the good kind
- It's fine
- Let's just do sodas
So what's going on?
Why are you concerned?
[groans]
What?
I don't know
I'm going through some weird shit
What weird shit?
I had a little bit of a blow-up
with Ross about my birth person
Just so you know,
I've hired a private investigator,
and really thinking
about reaching out to that birth person
I think you're an idiot. I mean,
I just don't think that's the best idea
So what's gonna happen
if I decide to go through with it?
Y'all are just gonna be mad at me?
If this ends up being a problem,
you're the one who started this problem
I know nothing
about like my medical history
I know nothing about my background
- [Julia] Mm
- But it seems disloyal
But it isn't. It's human nature
You don't want to replace Mitzi
You're not like, "I need to find my mom."
I've known you, now, five years
I mean, I knew you were adopted,
obviously you told me,
you've never spoken about it
So, if you're coming
with this kind of curiosity,
it's a very rational
and reasonable curiosity
I would like to know
what's your hesitation?
I don't know that it's worth it,
the complication
It isn't a diss to Mitzi at all
I mean, if you're asking my advice,
I say go meet your birth person
The fact you're having this conversation,
and that you're sitting here
talking to me about it,
you knew what I was gonna say
You came in here expecting me to say
the exact words I'm saying to you now
You want me to
convince you to do this
I think the real question you have to face
is do you want to meet her?
Yeah
I'm 33. I need to figure out
what the next step in my life is,
so I'm gonna ask this private investigator
to set up a time for us to meet
This is not something
my family wants me to do
I don't want to hurt them,
but on the other hand, I've got to stop
letting these feelings hold me back
Now's the time
I think you're doing a big step. I think
this is very mature and responsible
You should know your ancestry
I'm 99.89% Ashkenazi Jew
- What if I am too and we didn't know?
- My God
- What if I'm a tribe member?
- That would be amazing
Gonna make, gonna make
Gonna make it ♪
I'm gonna be all right ♪
I'm gonna make this work ♪
All I need is one more try ♪
Gonna make, gonna make
Gonna make it ♪
I'm gonna be all right ♪
I'm gonna make this work
Just give me one more try ♪
[Silvio] Here we are. Beautiful
- [Julia] Here we go. Fly fishing
- Here we are
[Julia] Silvio and I
are both very strong people,
- and my goal is keeping the peace
- [playful music playing]
I don't want him to think I don't want
to spend time with him. Of course I do!
So to show him just how much I care,
I'm going to do something
completely outside of my comfort zone
[Silvio] Oh wow!
- You've got some Saint Laurent waders?
- [Julia] Yes
Maybe I don't have quantity of time,
but I can give quality of time
[Silvio] It's a beautiful day
[Julia] It is a beautiful day
Here we go. My goodness
- This is so crazy
- [Silvio chuckles]
[Julia] Ergh
I am not made for the outdoors
Hope you know how much I love you
- [Silvio laughing]
- Put this beauty on
Okay
- [playful music continues]
- Ta-da!
- Oh wow!
- How are they?
I literally feel like an oompa loompa
[Silvio laughing]
- Careful, my love. Don't fall
- Notice, my love,
- I'm not gonna fall
- Don't fall
- I'm not gonna fall. You don't fall!
- Okay
I do not like getting wet
Nice and easy, my love
Oh, it's cold! It's frickin' cold!
Okay, and I really hate being cold
Cold and wet put together? Mm
- Yeah, that's good here
- Oh, my God
Add to that the fact
that I also have to fish
Delightful
- All right, my love, you ready?
- [Silvio] Yeah
- All right, you stand there
- Stand there?
So I don't hit you
Ready? Shall we cast?
- [Silvio] Yeah
- [grunts]
[upbeat music playing]
[Silvio laughing]
[Julia] Oh, man
I look very fuckable right now
Are we officially even?
It has been a fantastic day
- [Julia yells]
- [Silvio] Oh. Oi, oi!
- Careful. Careful!
- [Julia screaming]
- Careful. [laughing]
- [yelling]
Oh, my poor love. It's freezing
- Oh, my tushy!
- [Silvio laughing]
It's so cold. Why are you laughing?
It's freezing, my love. Here. Okay, okay
There's a rumor going around
that I fell in. It's patently untrue
- [Julia yells]
- [Silvio] Oh! Oi!
I chose to sit down because I was just
getting tired of standing
That's all that happened. Nothing else
I don't know
what people are talking about
- My love, look at me
- Yeah?
Thank you so much
You can come sit down with me
[Silvio] I love you, okay?
We're coming back on Sunday, right?
- [Julia] You're lucky I love you
- [Silvio laughing]
[inspirational music playing]
[Miriam] Tonight is a launch party
for Eazitt
All my siblings are saying they can
do things, but I'm actually doing them
This is what you came up with
and showed Ima?
Yeah, this is one of the things
I've been working on
- I'm really impressed, Mir
- Thank you
- [guest] Hi
- [Miriam] What's up? Welcome
I'm going to get alcohol
- [Kai] Hi
- It's so good to see you
How are you indoctrinating this man
into the world of fashion?
He also start to sketch
- Yeah? Amazing!
- Yeah
It's very hard
- It is so hard
so hard!
So Miriam never actually told me
what happened with you guys
I heard about, like, your date,
that you had a really nice time
We did. Yeah, we had a little smooch
- I heard about the smooch
- [Kai giggles]
- She said it was really good
- [Kai] Oh, I'm glad!
- You remember Kai from the fashion show?
- I do, we
- Super beautiful
- We also went to a Broadway show together
No, wasn't me. Wish I was there
[Miriam and Nico] Ooh
- Hello
- Can I get a
- Good to see you. Thanks for coming
- [Nico] Yeah, likewise
I'm having a lovely conversation with Kai,
and then I see Nico walks in,
and Katherine walks in
It appears that it is not only
a launch party for Miriam's app,
but it's also like a a little reunion
of all the people Miriam's hooked up with
- Hi, nice to meet you. I'm Kai
- Kai
So Kai went out with Miriam
Miriam brought her
to my mom's fashion show
She's introduced girls to us,
but never a guy
- So it's a really big fucking deal
- Okay
[all laughing]
- No pressure
- Yeah, like, casually
We're talking. We're introducing
your, uh, your fashion show date and your
[Miriam] Oh!
Honestly, I just sent a text message
to so many people about my event,
I didn't really think that
I was inviting all these people
that I went on a date with
I don't even know
if I told Nico I was bisexual
You've got loads to tell me. [laughing]
It's a little funny
that they're all meeting each other,
but I have more important things
to worry about
Hey, Mama
- I'm so proud of you
- [Miriam] Thank you for coming
[Julia] Mmm
- Fantastic. [chuckling]
- [Miriam] Thank you
An entrepreneur at 20!
[Miriam laughs]
I see my mom talking to Miriam,
and she has a smile on her face,
and I get this feeling inside that,
"What if my mom is telling Miriam
the news that, really, I wanted to get?"
It never feels good to be defeated
I tried
But, you know,
I guess the the better woman won
[Julia] Can I steal my beautiful oldest
for a moment?
Thank you. I want you
to come meet someone
Okay
- This is Nicole
- Hi
[Julia] Nicole runs Alo Yoga
I'm such a fan. I've seen everything
that you do on social
I love your TikTok
And Nicole, you want
to tell her the good news?
- We are so excited to partner with you
- [Batsheva] What?
Alo Yoga,
we think is just the right fit for
- Oh, my God!
- what we're doing
- [laughing]
- [Batsheva] Thank you
- I knew she'd be happy
- Heard it was a surprise
Surprise!
[Katherine] How do you know Miriam?
Oh, um, so we've been dating for a bit,
but I met her through a mutual friend
I also dated her
- [Katherine] No way
- A lot going on here
She has like a menagerie of
love over there
Stop staring
They're literally looking back now
Every party I come to, you've made out
with a different one of these people
Well at least I'm getting action
You're not getting any
Okay, all right,
let's not make this personal
[laughing]
- I want to go join their conversation
- No, don't do it
- Come on
- Stop!
- Come with me. Here we go
- No. You're such a dickhead
Hey, guys. Miriam just wanted
to say thank you for coming
- Hey, Miriam
- Anytime
- Thanks for having us
- [Miriam] Thanks for coming
- Love how you're all well-acquainted
- [Robert] Three close friends
- We love each other
- We're already a squad
- [Miriam] Oh really?
- "Squad." That is a word for it
- We formed a group chat
- Oh my goodness!
We're gonna hang out
- [Robert] I'd love to be added
- We can make that happen
I'm willing to make financial
Okay, great!
[laughing]
But, E, why didn't you tell me
what was happening?
I thought like I lost, like, a huge deal
[Julia] I could have told you
about Alo Yoga,
but I wanted you to see, even when you
think that what I'm doing is crazy,
there is a method to my madness
What I wanted you to know
is that you need to trust me
- So this was a test?
- It was a test
I wanted you to learn to trust me
You know, Elite's about to go public
I've got plans for our family business
So we're all going to be involved?
'Cause I had overheard
your conversation with Robert
- You were saying
- What conversation with Robert?
I was working in e1972,
and you and Robert had walked in,
and you were saying,
"Only one of my kids."
"Since the company is going public,
only one of my kids can be involved."
This is what happens when you listen
to a piece of a conversation
What I actually said to Robert was
I can only put one of you in at a time
So we're all gonna be able to be involved?
Yes. I have a plan,
and the only way my plan doesn't succeed
is if we don't have trust
Okay, I'm sorry
[Julia] I love you
[Shlomo] I see my mom hugging Batsheva
as if she's congratulating her,
and
I'm just like really confused
So Batsheva told me that, um
she overheard you speaking to Robert,
and that you're only keeping one
of the children on the company
- You know
- Get over here
I love you so much. You're so funny
Oh, my gosh. So Batsheva heard
a piece of a conversation
- Okay
- The reason that I was so adamant
is because I see a very big place for you
We need a brilliant legal mind
who's on our side
Someone whose heart and soul
is going to be about protecting us
because it's his company, too
You're my brilliant legal mind, Shlomo
There's never been a moment when
you haven't been part of my grand plan
- There's never been a moment when you
- What's up?
Hello! What did you tell the kids?
I was just sharing what I overheard
Guys, there was never a moment
where every single one of you
did not have a role in my grand plan
of us becoming a successful family
I have great faith in the future
My one concern will always be
that people
are going to try and divide us,
and we cannot allow that to happen
We have to trust each other
so deeply, so integrally, so completely,
that no one will ever come
and divide us
And to me, this is a great step
in that direction
It gives me great faith in the future
- I love you, guys
- We love you
- I love you. You're amazing
- Sorry for misunderstanding
[Julia] I love you guys so much
I'm not going to do anything
that is not in your best interest
I want you guys to all outdo me
Challenge accepted
- [laughing]
- This is just the beginning
[thoughtful music playing]
[upbeat music playing]
- Hey!
- [JD] Silvio. JD
- How are you?
- Very nice to meet you
- You ready to see some space?
- [Silvio] Yes
I My wife should join us
I hope she's coming
- Hi. How are you?
- [Silvio] Hey!
- How are you, Cristin?
- Good
- Hi, Cristin. Nice to meet you
- Hi, I'm JD
Where is Julia?
Um, Julia got a little tied up,
so I'm gonna FaceTime her,
so she's gonna view the space
with you over FaceTime
- I wanted her to come
- I know. I'm sorry
She got tied up in meetings
- She said that she'd come. [laughs]
- I know. Sorry
Okay, that's fine
[Cristin] Okay, thank you
[JD] This is the entire 11th floor
It is 11,511 rentable square feet
Uniquely, you have light on four sides
[FaceTime line ringing, picks up]
Hi
Hi, my love! I sent Cristin in my stead
because, uh, one of the investors
for the IPO called
Yeah, I understand
I understand, my love,
but we organized this
We knew about your call
It was all prepared
I wanted so much that you were here
I am here!
Well, no, you are there
No, you're not here
[Julia] Silvio needs office space
because he just started a fund,
but I'm speaking to this group
of massive investors,
and they want to talk to me now
There's nothing I can do
- So we're all here now. [laughing]
- Yes, yes
[JD] Julia, so good for you
to be joining us virtually
Oh, boy. It's not gonna be a good
evening for me. Let me tell you
[Silvio] Can you see anything?
Maybe from above? [chuckles]
- Here. Like this
- Okay, okay. Now I just see your thumb
- Do you see?
- She just sees your thumb
- Okay, let's do it again. Now do you see?
- I now see ceiling
If you were here,
you would have seen the whole thing
- We can do anything, you and I
- No, no
We can't do too many of these "Z"
I can't do a "Z" a "Z" date
I can't have a-a "Z" marriage
- [Silvio chuckles]
- [Julia chuckles sarcastically]
Love you
Do you "Z" love me?
- I "Z" love you
- [Silvio] Okay
- I "Z" you later
- Okay, see you later
[upbeat music playing]
- [man] Welcome. How are you this morning?
- [Robert] I'm well, thank you
I need to lose weight. I just, like,
don't want to stop eating
or drinking wine
- Robert? I'm ready for you
- Great. Thanks
So I'm seeing
Dr. Rosen today to understand,
like, are there other factors
in my life that are preventing me,
other than what I shovel into my mouth
and my lack of movement,
that are preventing me from losing weight?
So this will be interesting
Pleasure to meet you
Nice to meet you too, Robert
What can I do for you?
Um, I was pretty thin in college
I don't know if it was stress,
or just New York City or what it was,
I gained a bunch of weight
I've been pretty successful
in taking it off,
but it's just taken probably
a year and a half to lose 40 pounds
- It's still a huge accomplishment
- For sure
I've hit this plateau
I'm like stuck where I'm at,
and I just want to kickstart it
Sure. It's incredible how far you've come
We do a lot of weight loss here
Nutritionists you can work with,
we have medications
- A balloon that goes in stomachs
- I've heard about the balloon
- It's a modified breast implant
- Love, even more
that we put into your stomach
"Are you hungry?"
No, I've eaten a breast implant for lunch
I'm gonna run through symptoms
relating to obesity,
you tell me if any of these
are issues for you
That tingly part in your brain,
like when you have cheese? I have that
Whatever that thing is
when you put cheese in your mouth
and you get that little That
Mark that down, please
Coming up three flights of stairs,
do you feel short of breath?
Yeah
Two flights, I can manage
- Three flights? Ooh, lord! Marathon
- Right
- It's a full stop
- It's a rest, reset, start again
I feel you
Okay
It says that you have
no significant family history known,
and you didn't fill anything out
So your family is healthy?
Um, well, actually, I'm adopted,
so I have no information
Were your parents normal weight?
Yeah, my brother's normal weight,
my mother's normal weight
- I wish I had that gene pool
- That must be hard
[emotional music playing]
The fact that you don't know
your birth parents makes it hard for you
to necessarily see where you come from,
and I can imagine
that in your late teens, early twenties,
as the weight became an issue, that you
were left a little bit out on an island
For sure
The rest of your family
isn't struggling with those issues
Yeah, exactly
This is why I need
to find this birth person
This information is gonna
be valuable to me
I know that me reaching out to this person
is not something my family wants me to do,
but this is my life
This is a life-changing opportunity,
but I don't know how to proceed
I need to think through my next steps
[upbeat music playing]
How you doing?
- Good
- Good to see you. How's Ima?
- Same
Ima's good. Chefie made pasta
Ooh, yum
- Yeah
- Homemade pasta!
- Doesn't get better than that
- Mac and cheese
- So what else is going on?
- So, um
Shlomo and Miriam, they're telling me
I should be more relaxed with things
Like Jewish stuff, and girls, I shouldn't
make a thing out of everything
Well, look. So certainly, you know,
they're not asking you to do something
halacha
To them, it's not transgressing,
because they have their viewpoints
They're not asking you to eat
something that's not kosher, right?
They're they're trying to encourage you
to have more of a positive outlook,
like your situation with school
and talking with girls
- Yeah
- I know it's definitely different
than your experience in Monsey,
but there's nothing prohibited or assur,
talking or having conversation or
Well, the Mishnayos says,
"Lo tarbe sicha"
Can't speak to girls,
have excessive conversation
It doesn't say don't speak to girls
It says, "overdo it."
This idea of getting intimate with people
that you shouldn't be intimate with
That doesn't mean
you're touching or kissing a girl
You're classmates
It's totally okay to talk to them
There's absolutely no, you know, no issue
You shouldn't feel guilty about it
You respect them, which is important,
respect the women,
and you could be friends as well
When you say that, where am I able
to be friends or just friendly?
Are you friends with any girls?
- Am I friends with any girls?
- Mm-hmm
Yeah, there's there's people in my life
who I could talk to,
who I'm not married to
Nothing wrong with that
Interesting
We were a pretty yeshivish family
How did you get from,
like, more modern outlooks to this?
That's the nice thing
about Judaism in general
There's no one-size-fits-all
It's what you make out of it. [chuckles]
It's what you make of it? Yeah!
Really good way to look at it
There's all sorts of Orthodox Jews
out there,
they share a tradition of life
Some people start out more strict,
and then they get less strict
Some people who are less strict
become more strict,
and there's a lot of leeway in between
So, you know, where you are in your life
and your path,
you as a person have to choose
what that path is
[thoughtful music playing]
[indistinct conversations]
[line ringing]
[automated voice] The mailbox is full and
cannot accept any messages at this time
Goodbye
[waiter] How are you doing, sir?
It's been a while, I'm watching
You sure you
We need to be patient here
We'll get there
I hope she's arriving in ten minutes
Very nice. I'm just concerned about you
If you need anything, let me know
- I appreciate it
- No problem
We can have like a Q and A, and answer it,
and, um, we'll take it from there
All right, I got to go,
but let's talk about it tomorrow,
and we'll plan everything out
- Hey, my love
- Hey
Sorry I'm so late
You're half an hour late
[Julia] Mm-hmm
Oh, my love, I'm so tired. What a day
What's going on?
I've been sitting here waiting for you
I organized all my day
in order to be here on time
I was just looking forward to this,
and I just felt an idiot here. I mean
- Literally 40 minutes
- My love, I'm sorry
- wondering what was happening
- My love, I literally had my phone off
I was in the middle
of a massive presentation
with like 20 people,
and I didn't have my phone
I wish I could've been here earlier,
and I didn't see the time
until I walked out the door,
and then I would have called you
except that I got another call,
and then,
as you saw when I walked here,
I was still on the phone
So I'm very sorry. I'm sorry you had to
wait here by yourself. I'm super sorry
Are you becoming a workaholic?
I'm not becoming one,
I've been a workaholic
since the day you met me,
and I warned you about that from day one
Remember what you said?
- What did you say?
- "You're not easy."
You said, "Julia, you're not easy,
but easy is boring."
The main thing I would change
about my relationship with Julia
is to get more time for the two of us
She's so busy
on a thousand different things,
but I really have different priorities
There is a balance in every life
Everything is about priorities
My love, there's no balance
I don't have balance
[Silvio] That's the wrong approach
People have other things to do
and other priorities
Let's try to get organized,
respect a little bit my time
as you respect yours
No, I mean, you're not the only one
on this mother Earth
My love, let's just calm down
Can we please order,
- have a drink, and have a nice time?
- No!
[dramatic music playing]
[upbeat music playing]
Do I want to know what these are?
Oh, I do know what these are!
It's pillowcases!
These are very special
hypoallergenic pillowcases
from my dermatologist
I don't know why they're in your room
- So did you have a good time this week?
- Yeah, it was fun
- Did, um, Dalia text you?
- Mm-hmm
- She did?
- It'd be weird if she didn't text me
It would be weird if she didn't text you
What did she say?
- Said, "That was fun."
- Can I see?
- Nothing interesting
- No?
Really? You got something to hide?
I realized after seeing her
that I've rethought my decision
Really?
I was thinking about why I stopped
talking to girls and watching TV
wasn't for the right reasons
So, I was just doing
what my friends said was right,
not what actually is right
Wow. I'm so proud of you
- So now what does this mean?
- This means I'll speak to girls
- Yay!
shomer. Do it right
- Okay
- Well, my right
We can start with speaking
We'll move on to other things
in another time. When you're 17
Until then, girls and friendship,
I'm totally down with that
- Um, television?
- With mother. I won't watch it by myself
Excellent
Having fun?
- I'm still having fun
- Not always learning Torah?
Like, having a good time, as well?
- I'm always having fun
- Okay
[Aron] Everything in life happens
for a purpose, I believe
Between the modern and Yeshivish,
I think I'd be in the middle
That's me, as a person, growing up,
and my personality is in this button
[traditional Jewish music
playing through button]
[chuckles]
I'm so proud of you
You really scared the living daylights
- [laughing] I made you cry
- You made me cry
That wasn't good
[Julia] I just feel really grateful
People in my community,
women who leave,
most of them lose their children,
so I'm not going to push him
What I've learned is to just be loving
and to constantly show him
the beauty of the outside world
- It's good to have fun and enjoy life
- I'm having fun, I'm enjoying life
- I know. You have an awesome mom
- Yeah
[laughing]
And then Chris and Ayesha
wanted to meet today,
um, just to go over
some contracts with you
- Okay
- We can probably fit that in at like 4:30
4:30. All right
Hello
[Julia] Hey, beautiful
- Hey
- [Batsheva] Hey, Cristin
[Julia] Come on in, babe. Hold on
- [Batsheva] Busy day?
- Always a busy day
- [Cristin] How's your day going?
- Good. Exciting
I deserve to be chosen
for this position at Elite
because a big part of Elite is to help
models develop their social media
so that they can build their own brands
So I'm the perfect person to step in
- [Julia] Hello! Sorry, I'm
- [Cristin] No, you're fine
- I'm good?
- [Cristin] I'm gonna go. Okay
- I have some exciting news to share
- Yes?
I just landed a deal with a yoga company
for the highest-paid deal
I've ever received to date
Okay
For ten grand
for three sponsored Instagram posts
with the possibility
of being a long-term partnership
And I'm just really I was excited
to come share that news with you
Okay
[Batsheva] I want the position
If it means I need to one-up my siblings,
I think that I really have the power
and the knowledge to help Elite grow
I had a business idea for the company,
especially with regard to going public
You have all these different platforms
Um, but your
your platforms use other platforms,
like Facebook, Instagram, TikTok
So I was thinking,
since Elite is all about integrating
their platform into business models,
um, I'm thinking of, you know, maybe going
to business school, maybe pursue that
- instead of going to law school
- Yeah
I don't have a problem
trying to one-up my sisters
They're both trying to do it to me
It's a competition
We're all gonna
try our best to do the best
[Miriam] So I am a month and a half
ahead of schedule
I finished the EML app
That what I've been working on,
and been doing Eazitt stuff
This is Eazitt
This weekend we're going
to be shipping the the actual beta app
And there's one more thing
I wanted to tell you
- Okay
- I have this idea
Another idea
that I think will be really cool for us
I have business experience,
entrepreneurship experience,
and I'm about to launch
my own app in South Africa: Eazitt
Um
What's with the face?
I don't think that's enough money for you
What are the deal parameters?
- Are you getting a percentage of sales?
- No
- Are you creating the content or are they?
- I'm creating the content
Do they get the rights
to that content afterwards?
Can they post that content on their page?
- Yes
- So it's not just three posts
They can reuse that five years from now,
and you're not gonna get paid
a dollar more
- Is there exclusivity attached?
- Yes, for three months
So that means that if
any other yoga brand comes along,
you've given up your rights to that for
3K a post. I don't think that's worth it
You made a commitment,
you decided you were going this way,
you've been studying for the LSA
What you really need to think about is,
"What's the goal?"
'Cause, yeah, it sounds really cool,
but does it get you to your goal?
What's your goal?
What do you want to accomplish?
You told me you wanted to be a lawyer
You know, law school will always be there
- And, you know, this opportunity
- Yeah, but you're not 12, you're 24
I mean, again, look at you
Yeah, don't do it my way!
I wouldn't wish this on anybody
You need to stay on one path
Focus on taking the LSAT,
getting your law degree, learning to be
literally the world's best lawyer
Um, okay
Right now you are
finishing up the EML app,
you are launching Eazitt,
you're not prepared for the launch,
now you're starting another project
Do one thing at a time and do it well
Everything will happen. I'm confident
Babe, you're always confident
everything will happen,
then you get disorganized
and things don't go the way you planned
I would go back, I would ask for 20K
20K, I think is, like, an extreme amount
for someone at my level
I don't think so
Do not sell yourself short
Stay focused. I think it's gonna be
important for your life
[Miriam] Mm-hmm
- Love you
- [Batsheva] Love you
[tense music playing]
- Okay. Let's do
- [video call ringing]
[yoga brand rep] Hi
- Hi, how are you?
- Been doing really well. How are you?
I'm doing well. Thank you
I, um, really love the opportunity
that you gave to me,
and of course I love
your brand, it's incredible
Um, but after reviewing over the contract,
before I sign, I do have
some changes I would like to make
I know I am at a million followers,
and I feel like I do
I should be asking for more money
[tense music playing]
I actually thought
that this was a done deal,
so I'm caught a little bit
off guard by this call
I do have a large conversion to sale
So I don't think it's really fair for me
to be included
in, let's say, the $3,000 price range
that we have, right now,
figured out, proposed
Hm
I have to talk this over
with the rest of the team
before I can say one way or another
- Okay
- But I'll get back to you
Okay. Have a great day
Okay
- I hate revolving doors
- Why?
[groans] God. Guys, I may have
really just lost a huge deal
- because Ima told me that
- 'Cause what?
Basically, I walked in
like all happy, all proud,
because I got this deal
from a yoga brand
They offered me $10,000 for three posts
- Nice
- [Miriam] That's so big!
[Batsheva] Which is the biggest deal
I've ever had,
and I was all excited
to share this news with Ima
She was like, "You haven't
really thought this through."
"I don't think $10,000 is enough money."
"How long are they having
you use the content?"
"Are you getting a percentage of sales?"
"How long is the exclusivity?"
She's asking all these questions
She's like, "You should ask for $20,000."
All these big asks, which, like
I don't feel like I'm in that bracket
Yeah, yeah, totally
So basically I had to reach out
to the person, my contact at the team
- [Miriam] Did you listen to Ima?
- We're all trying to get in, you know?
- [Miriam] Totally
- I want to take her advice
But I didn't get, like,
a very wonderful feeling,
and now I keep checking my e-mail
like, "Is she gonna get back to me?"
So I went in today also, and she's like,
"Oh, you're you're getting old."
- [Batsheva] She said you're getting old?
- Yeah. Like, I'm 24!
Also, like, she started her whole thing,
like, when she was 40
"You can no longer do hobbies
You have to make decisions."
[Miriam] Wow
That's crazy. It's like
- Oh, fuck
- [Miriam] What?
- My God
- [Shlomo] Good news? Bad news?
They said, "Based on
our earlier conversation,
we've decided to take our brand
in a different direction."
- [Miriam gasps]
- "We appreciate you taking time
to connect with us and wish you luck
on your future endeavors."
I'm just really, really upset right now
because that was the biggest deal
I've ever received,
and now I just lost it
because I listened to my mom's advice
- Oh my God. I'm so sorry, B
- [Shlomo] Yeah, Bat, that sucks
Fuck. Fuck, fuck, fuck! It's not fair
- [Robert] Hey
- [Julia] Hey
[groans] You're making me move
I needed some comfort in my life
- What is going on?
- I don't know. It's just weird stuff
Tell me more
Wait, hold that thought
You want a drink? I'm thirsty
- Please. But what kind of drink?
- One second
- I have Diet Coke
- Oh. Not the good kind
- It's fine
- Let's just do sodas
So what's going on?
Why are you concerned?
[groans]
What?
I don't know
I'm going through some weird shit
What weird shit?
I had a little bit of a blow-up
with Ross about my birth person
Just so you know,
I've hired a private investigator,
and really thinking
about reaching out to that birth person
I think you're an idiot. I mean,
I just don't think that's the best idea
So what's gonna happen
if I decide to go through with it?
Y'all are just gonna be mad at me?
If this ends up being a problem,
you're the one who started this problem
I know nothing
about like my medical history
I know nothing about my background
- [Julia] Mm
- But it seems disloyal
But it isn't. It's human nature
You don't want to replace Mitzi
You're not like, "I need to find my mom."
I've known you, now, five years
I mean, I knew you were adopted,
obviously you told me,
you've never spoken about it
So, if you're coming
with this kind of curiosity,
it's a very rational
and reasonable curiosity
I would like to know
what's your hesitation?
I don't know that it's worth it,
the complication
It isn't a diss to Mitzi at all
I mean, if you're asking my advice,
I say go meet your birth person
The fact you're having this conversation,
and that you're sitting here
talking to me about it,
you knew what I was gonna say
You came in here expecting me to say
the exact words I'm saying to you now
You want me to
convince you to do this
I think the real question you have to face
is do you want to meet her?
Yeah
I'm 33. I need to figure out
what the next step in my life is,
so I'm gonna ask this private investigator
to set up a time for us to meet
This is not something
my family wants me to do
I don't want to hurt them,
but on the other hand, I've got to stop
letting these feelings hold me back
Now's the time
I think you're doing a big step. I think
this is very mature and responsible
You should know your ancestry
I'm 99.89% Ashkenazi Jew
- What if I am too and we didn't know?
- My God
- What if I'm a tribe member?
- That would be amazing
Gonna make, gonna make
Gonna make it ♪
I'm gonna be all right ♪
I'm gonna make this work ♪
All I need is one more try ♪
Gonna make, gonna make
Gonna make it ♪
I'm gonna be all right ♪
I'm gonna make this work
Just give me one more try ♪
[Silvio] Here we are. Beautiful
- [Julia] Here we go. Fly fishing
- Here we are
[Julia] Silvio and I
are both very strong people,
- and my goal is keeping the peace
- [playful music playing]
I don't want him to think I don't want
to spend time with him. Of course I do!
So to show him just how much I care,
I'm going to do something
completely outside of my comfort zone
[Silvio] Oh wow!
- You've got some Saint Laurent waders?
- [Julia] Yes
Maybe I don't have quantity of time,
but I can give quality of time
[Silvio] It's a beautiful day
[Julia] It is a beautiful day
Here we go. My goodness
- This is so crazy
- [Silvio chuckles]
[Julia] Ergh
I am not made for the outdoors
Hope you know how much I love you
- [Silvio laughing]
- Put this beauty on
Okay
- [playful music continues]
- Ta-da!
- Oh wow!
- How are they?
I literally feel like an oompa loompa
[Silvio laughing]
- Careful, my love. Don't fall
- Notice, my love,
- I'm not gonna fall
- Don't fall
- I'm not gonna fall. You don't fall!
- Okay
I do not like getting wet
Nice and easy, my love
Oh, it's cold! It's frickin' cold!
Okay, and I really hate being cold
Cold and wet put together? Mm
- Yeah, that's good here
- Oh, my God
Add to that the fact
that I also have to fish
Delightful
- All right, my love, you ready?
- [Silvio] Yeah
- All right, you stand there
- Stand there?
So I don't hit you
Ready? Shall we cast?
- [Silvio] Yeah
- [grunts]
[upbeat music playing]
[Silvio laughing]
[Julia] Oh, man
I look very fuckable right now
Are we officially even?
It has been a fantastic day
- [Julia yells]
- [Silvio] Oh. Oi, oi!
- Careful. Careful!
- [Julia screaming]
- Careful. [laughing]
- [yelling]
Oh, my poor love. It's freezing
- Oh, my tushy!
- [Silvio laughing]
It's so cold. Why are you laughing?
It's freezing, my love. Here. Okay, okay
There's a rumor going around
that I fell in. It's patently untrue
- [Julia yells]
- [Silvio] Oh! Oi!
I chose to sit down because I was just
getting tired of standing
That's all that happened. Nothing else
I don't know
what people are talking about
- My love, look at me
- Yeah?
Thank you so much
You can come sit down with me
[Silvio] I love you, okay?
We're coming back on Sunday, right?
- [Julia] You're lucky I love you
- [Silvio laughing]
[inspirational music playing]
[Miriam] Tonight is a launch party
for Eazitt
All my siblings are saying they can
do things, but I'm actually doing them
This is what you came up with
and showed Ima?
Yeah, this is one of the things
I've been working on
- I'm really impressed, Mir
- Thank you
- [guest] Hi
- [Miriam] What's up? Welcome
I'm going to get alcohol
- [Kai] Hi
- It's so good to see you
How are you indoctrinating this man
into the world of fashion?
He also start to sketch
- Yeah? Amazing!
- Yeah
It's very hard
- It is so hard
so hard!
So Miriam never actually told me
what happened with you guys
I heard about, like, your date,
that you had a really nice time
We did. Yeah, we had a little smooch
- I heard about the smooch
- [Kai giggles]
- She said it was really good
- [Kai] Oh, I'm glad!
- You remember Kai from the fashion show?
- I do, we
- Super beautiful
- We also went to a Broadway show together
No, wasn't me. Wish I was there
[Miriam and Nico] Ooh
- Hello
- Can I get a
- Good to see you. Thanks for coming
- [Nico] Yeah, likewise
I'm having a lovely conversation with Kai,
and then I see Nico walks in,
and Katherine walks in
It appears that it is not only
a launch party for Miriam's app,
but it's also like a a little reunion
of all the people Miriam's hooked up with
- Hi, nice to meet you. I'm Kai
- Kai
So Kai went out with Miriam
Miriam brought her
to my mom's fashion show
She's introduced girls to us,
but never a guy
- So it's a really big fucking deal
- Okay
[all laughing]
- No pressure
- Yeah, like, casually
We're talking. We're introducing
your, uh, your fashion show date and your
[Miriam] Oh!
Honestly, I just sent a text message
to so many people about my event,
I didn't really think that
I was inviting all these people
that I went on a date with
I don't even know
if I told Nico I was bisexual
You've got loads to tell me. [laughing]
It's a little funny
that they're all meeting each other,
but I have more important things
to worry about
Hey, Mama
- I'm so proud of you
- [Miriam] Thank you for coming
[Julia] Mmm
- Fantastic. [chuckling]
- [Miriam] Thank you
An entrepreneur at 20!
[Miriam laughs]
I see my mom talking to Miriam,
and she has a smile on her face,
and I get this feeling inside that,
"What if my mom is telling Miriam
the news that, really, I wanted to get?"
It never feels good to be defeated
I tried
But, you know,
I guess the the better woman won
[Julia] Can I steal my beautiful oldest
for a moment?
Thank you. I want you
to come meet someone
Okay
- This is Nicole
- Hi
[Julia] Nicole runs Alo Yoga
I'm such a fan. I've seen everything
that you do on social
I love your TikTok
And Nicole, you want
to tell her the good news?
- We are so excited to partner with you
- [Batsheva] What?
Alo Yoga,
we think is just the right fit for
- Oh, my God!
- what we're doing
- [laughing]
- [Batsheva] Thank you
- I knew she'd be happy
- Heard it was a surprise
Surprise!
[Katherine] How do you know Miriam?
Oh, um, so we've been dating for a bit,
but I met her through a mutual friend
I also dated her
- [Katherine] No way
- A lot going on here
She has like a menagerie of
love over there
Stop staring
They're literally looking back now
Every party I come to, you've made out
with a different one of these people
Well at least I'm getting action
You're not getting any
Okay, all right,
let's not make this personal
[laughing]
- I want to go join their conversation
- No, don't do it
- Come on
- Stop!
- Come with me. Here we go
- No. You're such a dickhead
Hey, guys. Miriam just wanted
to say thank you for coming
- Hey, Miriam
- Anytime
- Thanks for having us
- [Miriam] Thanks for coming
- Love how you're all well-acquainted
- [Robert] Three close friends
- We love each other
- We're already a squad
- [Miriam] Oh really?
- "Squad." That is a word for it
- We formed a group chat
- Oh my goodness!
We're gonna hang out
- [Robert] I'd love to be added
- We can make that happen
I'm willing to make financial
Okay, great!
[laughing]
But, E, why didn't you tell me
what was happening?
I thought like I lost, like, a huge deal
[Julia] I could have told you
about Alo Yoga,
but I wanted you to see, even when you
think that what I'm doing is crazy,
there is a method to my madness
What I wanted you to know
is that you need to trust me
- So this was a test?
- It was a test
I wanted you to learn to trust me
You know, Elite's about to go public
I've got plans for our family business
So we're all going to be involved?
'Cause I had overheard
your conversation with Robert
- You were saying
- What conversation with Robert?
I was working in e1972,
and you and Robert had walked in,
and you were saying,
"Only one of my kids."
"Since the company is going public,
only one of my kids can be involved."
This is what happens when you listen
to a piece of a conversation
What I actually said to Robert was
I can only put one of you in at a time
So we're all gonna be able to be involved?
Yes. I have a plan,
and the only way my plan doesn't succeed
is if we don't have trust
Okay, I'm sorry
[Julia] I love you
[Shlomo] I see my mom hugging Batsheva
as if she's congratulating her,
and
I'm just like really confused
So Batsheva told me that, um
she overheard you speaking to Robert,
and that you're only keeping one
of the children on the company
- You know
- Get over here
I love you so much. You're so funny
Oh, my gosh. So Batsheva heard
a piece of a conversation
- Okay
- The reason that I was so adamant
is because I see a very big place for you
We need a brilliant legal mind
who's on our side
Someone whose heart and soul
is going to be about protecting us
because it's his company, too
You're my brilliant legal mind, Shlomo
There's never been a moment when
you haven't been part of my grand plan
- There's never been a moment when you
- What's up?
Hello! What did you tell the kids?
I was just sharing what I overheard
Guys, there was never a moment
where every single one of you
did not have a role in my grand plan
of us becoming a successful family
I have great faith in the future
My one concern will always be
that people
are going to try and divide us,
and we cannot allow that to happen
We have to trust each other
so deeply, so integrally, so completely,
that no one will ever come
and divide us
And to me, this is a great step
in that direction
It gives me great faith in the future
- I love you, guys
- We love you
- I love you. You're amazing
- Sorry for misunderstanding
[Julia] I love you guys so much
I'm not going to do anything
that is not in your best interest
I want you guys to all outdo me
Challenge accepted
- [laughing]
- This is just the beginning
