If we don't do this,
Sophie will actually quit.
The Roland can print
Sophie's order.
No, but I can't figure it out.
Well it's not my fault that you
keep wasting your shift time.
Whatever.
Just please just help me.
Please?
Fuck, I know, ok?
I'm sorry.
This time it really is
an emergency, ok?
What's the emergency?
Becca. I think we should
end things.
Did you hear what I said?
[cell phone chimes]
Are you fucking kidding me?
What?
You're breaking up with me?
I have been like perfect.
Becca, just listen.
Like the perfect girlfriend.
Ok?
That's a little exaggerated.
What more do you want?
Time? Honesty?
I told you.
I've been busy hanging
out with Zoe.
I know that's total bullshit,
Becca.
If you don't trust me-
No, Clem, you're the one
that doesn't trust me, ok?
I-
You are keeping me
out of your life!
Maybe! Maybe, yeah.
That's not what I want.
We're done, Clem.
I'm breaking up with you.
You're dead to me.
- Becca, don't be like this.
- Dead to me!
Fine, you want to be this-
Oh what?
Like you've never deleted
an ex before.

Mah Mah.
No, I'm ok, I just had
a long day.
Where are you?
♪
You look great.
Rebecca.
Oh.
It was a trap to come
meet you.
Come with me.
She'll be a while.
Are we not gonna talk
about the fact that Mah Mah
is apparently Beyonce?
Mah Mah says you seem
to be distracted,
and sad lately.
I'm fine. I'm handling it.
That's what your mother
always says.
Great.
It's it's a compliment
to be similar to your mother.
Show her some respect.
Like you and your secretary?
Your mother knows
everything that I do.
And I know everything
that she does.
That What?
We don't judge one another.
We're honest.
♪
What, are your names
on that or something?
No.
Ok, cool story, Dad.
When the Chinese were
first allowed in the country,
they were charged an extra fine,
a head tax.
It bankrupted the poorest of us
who were just trying to find
a new world to rebuild in.
Years ago, government
apologized.
Promised to pay back the
descendants of the families.
But still, they were tricky.
Your mother and I called
families all across the country,
for weeks, months.
Translating and helping them
through all the legal jargon.
Teaching them how to get
their money back.
And then a bunch of them
turned around and-
Donated it back
into the community.
To this centre.
But our family didn't pay
a head tax.
So, you and Mom just
called around
for strangers, like, for free?
Your mother and I understand
that true strength
comes from family
and community.
And even friendship.
That's how you leave
a legacy.
We survive together.
We succeed together.
We're strong together.
[sighs]
[cell phone chimes]
Oh shit! Oh fuck,
oh shit!
We totally did it!
Situation handled by me!
Oh my god, you should
have seen it,
I tricked all the police
officers!
[screaming]
[Sally] Ow!!
Shut the fuck up, Sally.
You're being so fucking loud.
Hey, Zoe.
Hey, Rebecca.
Let's go straight
into the kitchen.
[heavy breathing]
Your shirt's inside out.
Hm?
Your shirt.
Oh. Hm. Mm hm.
So his name is Jerome and he
asked me if I've had water.
So, this time I'm like, yeah,
I could have some water.
So he leaves to go
get me water-
Sally.
And then he comes back
and he's like
"I like your shirt."
And I'm like, oh my god!
Are you a Savoyer?
What's a Savoyard?
We're like totally gatekeepers
of Gilbert & Sullivan operettas.
- Operettas
- Then what?
So, long story short,
he's not.
Not what?
Savoyard.
So after Jer,
they send in Robin,
and she's maybe like
- Sally, what the fuck happened?
- Five foot
- We don't need to know that.
- I swear
Guys, guys, guys!
This is like the fifth officer
that's been in to chat with me.
- Sally
- Mmmhmm.
You said that something
happened, right?
So did you change the story?
Ok, a little.
Did you know that 40
percent of kids
as early as 15 years
old are drinking?
And underaged drinking
and motor impairment
are the leading cause
of preventable death
for the age groups of
15 to 25-year-olds?
Did you memorize that?
That, you memorized?!
Sally. Sally, what
are you saying?
I told them the truth.
Like, that is a crazy statistic.
And there literally
is a bad guy.
Our Phantom in the shadows.
We're all lured in by
the promise of money.
- We?
- Who's we?
Oh my god, not "we."
We like the royal we.
[exhales] He lures innocent kids
into doing his dealing.
Now that I've been caught,
he's gone totally radio silent.
Ok.
And you guys,
they totally bought it.
I just have to check in
with a guidance counsellor,
just like you said, Rebecca.
They totally let me
off the hook.
- Wow.
- Yeah!
Actually, could I get
some water.
- I I can't.
- Yeah.
So, Sally bought that
we all quit?
You, me and Sophie?
It's pretty cool of Sophie
to keep the secret.
Just we don't have to talk,
ok?
[sighs] Fine.
Oh, hey.
Hi, Tryst.
What's up?
What happened
to your hand?
Oh, this?
Yeah, I don't know.
Why don't you tell me.
Yeah, when were you
going to tell me
that Sally was fucking arrested,
huh?!
- Wha?
- How do you know-
What does that have anything
to do with your hand?
Did your hand-
Da! Da! Da! Da!
Wrong answer.
What the fuck?
Time is up.
Wait, what are you doing?
- What are you Tryst?
- Tryst!
- What are you doing!
- Oh my god!
I am not fucking around,
ladies!
Do you understand that?
Yeah. No one is fucking
around here except for you.
- What the fuck!
- Stop touching our shit!
Oh, your shit?
This is your shit?!
No!
- This is all your shit?
- Leave the squad alone.
No. Trystan, no.
Trystan, I swear to god,
if you even touch RBG.
Well, I mean, it is mine.
- It's mine!
- It has my name on it.
It was shipped to me
and I signed for it.
I bought it!
Well, you owe me 20K easy
for helping you set
all this stuff up.
All this stuff is my stuff,
Tryst!
Ok, everyone just chill out.
Tryst, let us just pay you back.
Or is there another reason
why you're so fucking pissed?
You don't fucking
listen to me ever!
That's why I'm fucking pissed!
This is not about me!
This is about you and you
fucking up a good thing!
You are the only one that
is pulling the plugs here!
Oh, Zoe, I am way
beyond talking.
I am way beyond it.
This is my space and I need you
two to get the fuck out of here
before you get us all killed.
- What are you-
- Who the hell-
Get the fuck out!
Now!
What the fuck?
Fuck you, Tryst!
Who the fuck does
he think he is?!
This is our business!
Becca.
He smashed AOC.
AOC is healthy and alive
in congress.
That was just a printer.
Those printers are like the
only thing I've ever bought
that I actually care about.
AOC, Ilhan, CORI.
I get it. I get it.
We're girl bosses.
We are more than girl bosses,
Zoe, ok?
We can be more,
we can be
Woah, woah, woah.
It's ok. It's ok.
[cell phone vibrates]
Who's calling you?
Uh, nobody.
I'm really sorry about
what I said to you.
It wasn't about you, it was just
my own insecurities and..
You knew that and I still
lashed out at you.
I took our friendship
for granted.
Oh, Jesus me,
that's pretty heavy.
I know, but just let me finish.
I was just trying to think of
the meanest thing
that I could say to you.
But I didn't mean any of it.
Ok?
I'm really sorry.
[cell phone vibrates]
Look, Zoe. I'm really sorry,
ok?
Uh I'm sorry too.
Yeah.
I did the whole
self-therapy thing,
and, looking back,
she gave me nothing.
[chuckles]
Ok, well, um, I should probably
get going.
Ok.
But, um, everything
will be ok.
Alright?
Mmmhmm.
- Ok.
- Bye.
Ok. See ya.

Mmm.
He saw a lot of promise
in me

me for the summer cadet program.
The cadet program.
Yeah.
Like I am taking an oath

Uh, yeah.
Well, Mom was talking to me
about my projects, exams.
We're texting about
colleges now,
talking about
the family company
and what kind of role
I could have one day.
Oh. The company
I just, I feel like you never
really expressed
any interest in that before.
Well, nobody ever treated me
like I could.
It was always just assumed
to be you.
I mean, you don't want
the family business?
Oh, god no. No.
- Right.
- No.
I've got like, my own

Oh, is everything ok?
Yeah, it's whatever.
New topic.
What is Tryst clearly
hiding from us?
Right?
Like, how did he know
about Sally?
[exhales]
Maybe I was wrong
to contact him.
Get him involved
in all of this.
It's ok.
I think he's a harmless
dude who
put us in a time out.

You answer mine.
Screw that. We're
done with you, Tryst.
You and your creepy secrets.
Who the hell are you?
Yeah.
You know, you used to provide
raw product and infrastructure,
but we're actually proving to be
pretty resourceful these days.
Yeah. And I think we don't
have room for you.
You two are insane.
I actually think that we're
making a lot of sense.
Fuck it.
Congratulations.
You're all on your own.

just fine.
Do not ever call me again!
You understand?
I am done with

Completely done!

- Yeah, we don't need you.
- Fuck you, Tryst!
