The L Word: Generation Q
Sophie Suarez, will you marry me?
- Yes. Yes. Yes.
- Why are you hanging out
- at a sports bar?
- I bought it.
And I'm gonna make it a gay bar again.
Can I trust you to run this place?
You fucked my girlfriend,
and you want to know
if you can trust me?
I hope I can make it up to you one day.
You jeopardized the campaign.
I'm painfully aware of that fact.
Angie called me.
Is there a part of you that
still wants her? You can tell me.
I want you and her.
So, you're a throuple now?
She's, like, a super cold hot lady.
You know who else is hot?
- Bette Porter.
- You can't deny that she's special.
- I want you to talk to me.
- I don't have anything to say!
Carrie asked me to marry her,
- and I said yes.
- Congratulations.
Have you told that sweet boy
that you love him yet?
'Cause he loves you, too.
You should've been there for her today.
- She really needed you.
- She knows I'm fucking tapped out right now.
I-I'm giving her all I've got.
Are you sad about her getting married?
Yeah. A part of me always hoped that
you two would get back together.
Please, don't go.
You have a really wonderful daughter,
and I love spending time with her.
Jeff Milner will be the next mayor.
- What are those?
- Divorce papers.
You're incapable of loving
anyone but your fucking self.
You tried to make it
work with my ex-wife
because you thought
it would make me happy.
- I love you.
- Just me?
Just you.
- You must be a new fan.
- Yeah. I'm Micah.
- I'm José's husband.
- I'm afraid
when things get hard,
she's gonna leave you
because, uh, that's what she knows.
Dad, we love each other.
And we're good together.
- Are you gonna tell Dani?
- No.
- It's never gonna happen again.
- Let's get married.
You've always wanted to go to Hawaii.
We can go tomorrow.
I'm going home. To Missouri.
My flight's tonight.
You're my person.
You're, like, the best part of my day.
I love the shit out of you.
I love you, too, man.
I just want to be your wife.
But I'll always be here for you.
Welcome you to board
our nonstop flight to Kansas City.

for flight 1256 to Honolulu.
And I love you.
I love you so much.
There you are.
Hi.
Oh, my God. Wow.
You look so beautiful.
Um, so do you. You look amazing.
Come on.
Well, first of all, I know I speak
for everyone in this room
when I say that we are so happy
you didn't get married in Hawaii.
Because we would hate to
have missed this magic moment.
The more I know Sophie,
the more impressed I am
by her generosity, her integrity.
You all know how much I love mi hija.
The most important thing
to me is Dani's happiness.
And I have to say
I've never seen her happier
than she is today.
Sophie
welcome into our family.
- Brindemos.
- Yay!
To my daughter, Dani,
and my new daughter, Sophie.
May you find joy and happiness
in one another forever.

Huh? N Oh, no, no.
I was just rereading
the draft I sent to the publisher.
Oh, okay, yes.
Laughing at your own joke.
- Yes. That makes more sense.
- Do we still like the title
"Lube, Boobs and Tubes" for the chapter
- on my ovarian cyst? Yeah?
- Oh, yeah.
- For sure. For sure.
- Okay.
And then when you're
a best-selling author,
you can have your own lube line.
Wow.
- I think we're
- Let's go!
kind of getting ahead of ourselves
with the lube, but yeah.
Why isn't this line moving?
'Cause that would just be too easy.
Fucking hetero soccer mom. Go!
You know what would be fun?

A real quickie.

To get back together.

I'm joking.

- Yeah.
- Okay, well
- Have a good day.
Have a good day.
- She took two pieces. Two!
- She winked at me.
- She's a real menace.
- What are we gonna do about her?
Put a chip in her ear
so we know when she's close?
No, she needs a project.
You know, something to focus on.
Or someone.
- Yes.
- She needs a girlfriend.
Yes.
Someone else's problem.
- Yes! Okay, see?
- Oh, my God.
This is why I love you.
Because you have the best ideas.
- I do. Thank you.
- You really do.
Of course I'm aware
of what a huge platform it is
and what a life-changing
opportunity it could be.
I'm just still weighing my options.
- Hello.
- Where's Carrie?
- She's coming.
- Okay.
She's just parking.
Well, as I as I said,
I haven't made my final decision yet.
Well, there are other things
that we would need to discuss.
This afternoon?
Uh, yes, I think I could
come in this afternoon.
You know, wh-why don't I
send you a-a text
with some possible times.
All right. Yeah. And you
can just get back to me.
All right, terrific. Till then. Bye-bye.
- I'm so sorry about that.
- Please,
don't apologize.
- Oh, Bette.
- Hi, honey.
- Carrie, hi.
- I'm so sorry.
I nicked your mailbox
on the way up the driveway.
- Honey, it's not that bad.
- Listen, if you got some paint,
I could touch it up for you, no problem.
- Oh, no. That's okay.
- I'm so sorry.
- See? It's fine.
- I really am.
Man, that hill is a bitch.
Yeah.
It can be. You didn't need
to bring anything.
- I made a frittata.
- Oh, how nice.
I had a Groupon for
this little Vietnamese bakery
- down the street. Yeah.
- Oh. Groupon.
- Yeah.
- Got a lot of stuff.
I have no idea what any of it is.
- Okay.
- Do you have a cutting board?
- Uh, yes, sure.
- Great.
Whoever was on the phone
sounded pretty aggressive.
Ugh. Isaac Zakarian.
Wants me to join his gallery
as managing director.
- You're kidding.
- Who's that?
He's an international megadealer.
I mean, pretty much
the biggest in the world, right?
That he is.
- Wow.
- Bette used to refer
to him as the Armenian devil.
Oh, isn't that a little bit racist?
Uh, I don't think I ever said that.
Yeah, well, that's the kind of thing
that could've cost you
the election, you know?
Yeah, but I never said it, so
I mean, that must've been
horrible for you,
losing like that.
I mean, what that
must've been like for you,
I can't even imagine. Right?
What, honey?
No, I just Since Hillary lost,
you know, it's all I think about.
These women losing elections.
It's not right.
Well, nobody likes losing.
Actually, I'm a pretty good loser.
You know, public defender and all.
I give it my best, and then I move on.
Do you have a better knife?
This one's kind of dull.
- Sure.
- Um, does Angie know we're here?
Uh, I told her.
Hey, Angie?
I think, you know,
you guys should start, so
Be easier for Angie.
Yeah, easier for Angie
or easier for you?
- Hey.
- Hey, honey.
- Hi.
- There you are.
- Hi.
- Good to see you.
- It's good to see you, too. Hi.
- Hi, sweetie.
Good to see you.
Did someone die?
No.
I told you she was gonna think that.
- I know. She said it.
- I said it word for word.
- You said it.
- No, everything is fine.
Yeah.
We just want to talk to you
about our wedding.
Yeah. We're thinking
of doing it kind of soon.
Okay.
Is that a doughnut or ?
Kind of. But there's meat in the middle.
I made your favorite frittata
- if you want it.
- Great. Awesome.
I'll have both.
So, we're We're thinking
about doing it this summer
in Palm Springs.
- Yep.
- Mm.
And we're gonna have
a chicken and waffle truck
at the end of the night,
so all your friends can come.
Anyone you want.
Mm-hmm.
- You okay?
- Yeah.
Yeah, I'm
- Okay.
- Good.
- Look. I knew she'd be excited.
- Okay.
- Right?
- It's a lot, I know. It's just
It's not too soon, just,
um, that you're the first to know.
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
They-they wanted to tell you
all together.
Right. Your moms and me,
like the Three Amigos.
You don't have
to take it all in at once.
No. No, no, no. No, that's not it.
Um, you know
it's just weird that I'm gonna
meet Carrie's family
before I know anything
about this other, like
big part of me.
- What part of you?
- What do you mean, sweetie?
Um
you know, uh, my donor.
I thought you said
it was a friend of yours.
He wasn't a friend.
He was just someone that I knew,
and we had an agreement that
he would remain anonymous
- until Angie turned 18.
- He was an artist
that Bette knew and Yeah.
- You knew that.
- Yeah, I-I know, I know.
Um but I still want
to know more about who I am.
Of course, of course.
But, you know,
if you still feel that way
- When you're 18.
- when you turn 18, right,
then we wouldn't stop you.
But, um, you're not 18 yet.
It's just one more year.
You know, Angie,
I did one of those DNA tests
where they swab your mouth
and you send it away
and they tell you all
about your ancestry, you know?
- Yeah.
- Turns out
I'm a hundred percent Irish,
which was not a shock.
But I, uh, I found a whole lot
of cousins down in Florida.
All of them were-were so kind to me.
One of them owns a Jet Ski store.
- Yeah.
- Right?
And he had every famous
person in Florida there
in the store even had Obama.
He has a picture like this
with his arm around Obama.
- Yeah?
- Who I heard
is ten percent Irish, which
means we could be cousins.
Think about that.
That's-that's that's cool.
Can I do that?
- Um
- Um
well
N-No.
You know what, sweetie?
Why don't you let
me and your mom we'll
talk about it after we eat.
- Yeah, sure.
- Let's just talk about it.
Sure. It's not a big deal either way.
Just, you know, um
- Look at this.
- Yeah.
Look, it's cut so nicely.
- It's so doughy.
- So doughy.
Did she make them?
- It's impressive.
- Well, no, actually.
She-she had a Groupon.
- Mm. Who knew?
- Yeah.
All right.
Hey, babe, what do you want for break
Oh, no, no, no, no. Where's Micah?
He's supposed to be helping you
with all this.
He went to the gym.
He said he'd be right back,
- but it's been a minute.
- Mm.
Do you think my dad
can just sit at a table
- in the corner by himself?
- Whatever, Nùñez.
It's gonna be perfect.
'Cause after, we're gonna go to
your family's house in Ojai
oh, and be naked all day.
Maybe we should just run away now.
No, no, no, no, no.
No, I want to make these people cry.
So don't fuck it up.
Oh.
Oh, shit. Uh, I got to I got to run.
Uh, Dani needs me.
She thinks I'm at the gym.
Did you hear me? I got to go.
- What'd you say?
- I said I got to run.
When am I gonna see you again?
I don't know.
Okay.
I wish I could come
to the wedding with you.
You're gonna look so fine
in that suit, too.
Oh, I wish I wish you could, too.
I mean I mean, you can.
- But you can't, so
- I know.
I'm gonna leave him soon.
It's just, it takes time
to get out of a marriage,
you know? It's complicated.
Yeah. Yeah, it just, uh,
it just feels like
it's gotten more complicated
since you moved back in with him.
He's my husband. I had
to give him a real chance.
I got to go.
Great show, everybody!
Good night! Thank you so much!
Thank you! Thank you!
- What a fantastic audience.
- Good job, good job.
Oh, my God, what a good show.
Oh, Margaret Cho's agents keep calling.
- Okay.
- She wants to be on the show.
I'm working on it.
- Great.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- Oh, my God!
- What?
- You're getting married.
- Oh, God,
- you've got to stop doing that.
- I I like fucking with you.
- Here you go.
- Thanks.
Oh, your hair. You look amazing.
I love the color.
Thanks. Well, this focus group
couldn't tell the difference
between me and Betty White, so
I thought I should make a change.
- Right.
- And I did.
Did you need to see me, or ?
Yes. So, between the book and the show,
- I'm swamped.
- Right.
And the network wants me to do
a new segment on the show this season.
- Okay, how can I help?
- So they want kind of a
Oh. Like a Carpool Karaoke
but with more gravitas.
So, like, Carpool Karaoke meets
- Intervention?
- No. Like
uh, like, Ellen's teacher
giveaways meets,
like, Oprah 2.0 meets the viral
nature of Carpool Karaoke?
Hi. Can we get two coffees
but the way we like them?
- Sure.
- Thanks.
So uplifting but not silly,
and interesting enough
for people to watch and share, right?
Right. But through the "Alice" lens.
Okay. I didn't think
I had to say "queer".
Well, I don't think
we can explicitly, but
Right. I won't tell if you won't.
So, I was gonna hire
a new senior-level producer to do this.
But, before I do that, I would
like to offer you the job.
What? For real?
Well, between your
documentary background
and everything you've learned
since you came
to work on the show,
I think you could do it.
I mean, it would be a fuck-ton of work,
- but
- I mean, I-I'm just
I'm so flattered.
Well, think it over.
You know, it's a big decision.
- Long hours, shitty pay.
- All right.
- Yeah. Think about it.
- Don't oversell it.
Okay? Let me know.
And until then
your suit.
Tailored by the best in the biz.
Oh, wow! Thank you so much again.
Wardrobe department
did not need to do this.
- But I'm so glad you did.
- Well
Yeah, you're getting married.
It's a big deal.
- Here you go.
- Thank you.
Thanks.
Oh, my God. That's awful.
I miss Finley.
- Don't you miss Finley?
- Mm.
I just feel a little lost without her.
Like, she always anticipated
my needs, you know?
She used to do this thing.
Before I went onstage, she'd be
like, "Eye of the tiger, baby",
with finger guns and stuff. I loved it.
She'd sing it if I was having
a really bad day.
- Yeah, that sounds like Finley.
- Yeah, she'd be like
Eye of the ti ♪
Well, you know how it goes.
You don't think she's coming back?
There's not a chance or anything?
Yeah, no. She's not coming back.
She's staying in Kansas City, forever.
Well, I'm gonna have to switch
to tea if that's the case.
Uh, I'm-a get back to work.
Okay.
Would you like another coffee?
Oh, gosh. You know, I just finished
that delicious one you made me last.
Um, but can you get me
Sarah Finley on the phone?
Yeah. For sure.
Thanks.
Yesterday.
You've got to do it. I'll do it, too.
I mean, maybe I have a famous
cousin out there or something.
- There's no way B will let me.
- Why not?
- 'Cause it was Carrie's idea.
- Mm, just don't tell her.
I'll take you to Target and
get you a kit, like, right now.
Are you kidding?
Sorry.
If she found out
that I went behind her back,
she would just be so upset.
Well, maybe just ask her again,
give her some time.
No, she doesn't need time.
- She needs a mood stabilizer.
- Jesus.
Carrie was just being Carrie,
and my mom was so annoyed.
Do you think she's, like, jealous?
I don't think she's jealous.
I think the idea of adding
Carrie into the family is scary.
Hmm.
But whatever.
B was not happy.
That sucks, Angie.
Yeah.
Carrie's, like, kind of the best.
She kind of is.
No one agrees with me on this!
Hi, hello, pick up the phone ♪
Yes, it's me, CEO ♪
Need a vacay, take a PTO ♪
- So they came over
- Mm-hmm.
They came over,
and, um, she ran into my mailbox.
- No.
- Why? Okay.
Carrie is the fucking worst.
Just, like, just everything
is a fucking joke to her.
- Ugh, I'm sorry, Bette.
- Mm. You know
- what she needs to realize?
- Thank you.
That she's at the bottom row
of the parenting pyramid,
- like I am. It's just
- Exactly.
- You know?
- Exactly. Ooh.
I'm sorry. I'm getting bombarded
with job offers. Thank you.
Well, that's because you're
the best and everybody knows it.
Thank you. I just don't know why
it annoys me so much.
Oh. I do.
I think it's because their togetherness
just highlights the fact that I'm alone.
I mean, Tina has Carrie,
and she makes her laugh.
She's all jokey. And I have Oh, yeah,
that's right. I have no one.
I'm gonna die alone.
- Mm, come on. Come on.
- No, you're not. No, no.
You know why I know
that's not gonna happen?
Because you always have Angie.
Yeah. You two could be like
- the Grey Gardens
- What's wrong with that?
of this generation.
- That's so messed up.
- But, I mean,
in a much better house.
- Less raccoons, obviously.
- Cleaner, for sure.
- Yeah.
- But, really,
what is the likelihood
that I'm gonna be able
to find someone
who meets all of my criteria
and fits into my life with Angie?
Criteria? Jesus.
Yeah, criteria.
Actually, I am kind of curious.
- What's your criteria?
- Mm-hmm.
Um, well,
she'd have to have kids of her own.
- Mm-hmm.
- Ideally.
And, um, not be married or straight.
And have a job.
Obviously.
No, not a job.
A career. She'd have to have a career.
Needs to be as passionate about her work
as I am about mine.
- No way.
- Are you sure about that?
- Yeah.
- No.
No, you've always kind
of wanted more of, like,
a wifey wife-wife kind of type.
- Mm-mm! No.
- Uh-huh.
- Yeah.
- It's okay.
You just want somebody
to deal with the stuff
you can't be bothered with.
Who cares?
- Oh, my God.
- You all right?
- What? Are you okay?
- What's wrong? Are you choking?
I have the perfect person for you.
- Really?
- Oh, God. Please, don't let her
set you up. That's how I spent
my 30th birthday
with eight hippies in a fucking yurt.
Okay. You loved it.
- Listen to me.
- No, I didn't. What?
Shane, if she finds someone by tomorrow,
you don't have to be her date
at Dani and Sophie's wedding.
I mean, you could give it
a chance, right?
I mean, you never know
where love's gonna turn up.
- It's all around you.
- It's everywhere.
Back in the day, whenever somebody left
a museum job to become an art dealer,
we used to say, "They've
gone over to the dark side".
That's a little overly
simplistic, don't you think?
Maybe. A little.
So, Bette
what you were doing at CAC
almost 20 years ago,
combining art and social activism,
nobody was doing that back then.
I assume you still care about
those issues you championed?
I don't know if you were paying
attention, but I ran for mayor.
- And I voted for you.
- Bullshit, Zakarian.
All right, look, you can go back
to being a museum director.
I know you've had a lot of offers.
And you could mount a show
every couple of years
that moves the needle incrementally
for artists of color.
Or you could join the biggest
art house in the world
and represent dozens
of marginalized artists
and pay off your campaign debt
the first year of your contract.
Hmm.
You know, I could be
a little irritated that,
in your myopic vision, you've
somehow associated me solely
with BIPOC artists, when, in fact,
I've worked with pretty much
every major artist
of the last two decades.
But, instead, I will simply point out
that you represent
exactly three artists of color.
Which is another reason I need you.
I mean, those marginalized
artists are suddenly
the hottest commodity in the art world.
And I find, for the first time
in my career, that, uh,
I'm behind the curve.
So I will meet your salary demands.
Wait. You're not gonna
You're not gonna insult me
with a lowball offer?
Plus,
a signing bonus for
all your BIPOC artists.
No.
Signing bonuses for all artists
I add to the roster.
Of course.
Plus ten percent of sales.
All right. We have a deal.
- Ah. Wonderful.
- All right.
Mr. Zakarian, I've got Daniel
Katz from the CAC on the line.
Excellent.
- Well, tell him I said hello.
- Yes, I will.
Oh, uh, your office is straight ahead.
Make yourself comfortable.
Asshole.
- Oh, Carl.
-
No, you're too much.
It was
No, I put it in the second, uh, chapter
'cause I did pee my pants, really.
I-I know.
And my parents I know.
Yeah, I've been working
on it for months.
Oh. Hilarious?
It's the book publisher.
They love the book.
Oh, my God.
Really? Oh, you want to move up
the publishing date?
Okay.
That sounds fantastic.
Yeah.
All right. Okay.
Okay. Love to the wife.
- Bye-bye.
- Ah.
Oh, my God. Holy shit! Alice!
- Yes. They love the book.
- They love the book ♪
They love the book ♪
They love my book,
they love my Sorry.
Um, yeah, they're gonna send
their best editor
- to help me get it done in time.
- Wow.
Well, do they want a lot
of changes or something?
No, no, no, no. They just want to make,
like, a last pass before
it goes to print, you know?
I can't wait to buy my copy.
Oh, more good news. I spoke to Finley.
She said if I needed her,
she'd come back.
What? No, she's supposed
to stay in Kansas City.
No, I know, but I said
we both missed her, and she'd
Wait, you did what?!
I just, uh, well, I
Um, no, no, no.
You just you got to tell her
that she can't come back.
She cannot come back here.
Okay, what's going on?
- Everyone's looking at us.
- Um
Um, all right, just come on.
Um
- So, um
- Yeah. So
Finley, uh, and I
we, um you know.
We, um, uh
Oh. Did it?
Yeah.
When-when did you
when did you guys ?
Just, uh, when we wrapped last season.
Oh. Fuck.
Yeah, in the green room.
Oh. I nap on that couch.
I mean, it was
Look, it was a
it was a one-time thing.
- Mm-hmm.
- And it didn't mean anything.
And, I mean, it was
it was fucking amazing.
Well, I don't need the
- details.
- But she's gone and it's done.
- Okay.
- And Dani doesn't know.
And now I think that
I should've told her.
Well, do you think
that I should tell her?
Um
I uh, I would leave it in the past,
and I would just focus on the future.
- Right. Right, right, right.
- Yeah.
Yeah.
No. No, I can't do that.
I can't marry her and-and not tell her.
- Oh.
- Well, I'm just gonna go
to our wedding rehearsal dinner,
I'm just gonna tell her.
Okay, so opposite of what I just said.
Yeah.
Hi. Oh, thank you.
There you are.
- Hey. I'm sorry that I'm late.
- Hey.
Wow. You look so beautiful.
Um, so do you.
You look amazing.
- Shall we?
- Yeah.
Come on.
Can you believe we're
getting married tomorrow?
Oh, here comes the bride.
Need to talk to you.
Uh, yeah, just give me a minute.
Ay, mi cariño.
Come here. Come here.
Please.
Well, first of all, I know I speak
for everyone in this room when I say
that we are so happy you didn't
get married in Hawaii.
Getting married.
You're getting married.
Sophie, I want to welcome you
into our family.
- Salud.
- Salud.
This feels too good.
I'll be right back.
- You told him?
- I'm sorry.
Cheating is a deal-breaker for Dani.
You know this. I know this.
You have to tell her.
I want to, but
But-but what? If you love her,
then I-I think you have to
You know I love her. You know that.
You have to tell her.
- I-I will.
- When?
Uh, I-I don't know.
I-I I-I think you got to
do it before the wedding.
Yes, okay? Yes, I promise.
I promise you that I will tell her.
- All right?
- Okay. Okay, I'm sorry.
Tell me what?
Tell me what?
Um
Is it the place?
Is it the place? Is it too formal?
No. No, it's fine.
No, no, no, it's not. It's not.
Really, it's fine.
- Let me make it up to you.
- What? You don't have to do
You don't have to make
up anything. It's fine.
Do you want to go out tonight?
- What-what do you mean?
- Like
Like, we could throw our own
bachelorette party or something.
Just you and me?
Yeah.
Yeah, we can we can, uh
we can get shit-faced,
and we can dance a little bit.
We can fuck in a bathroom stall
- like we did when we first met.
- No.
- Shh. Wow.
- No one's listening.
Um
- Yeah.
- Yeah?
Yeah. Yeah, I'd love that.
- Yes. Okay.
- Okay. Mwah.
Come on.
- Whoa.
- Hey. Oh.
- Hi. You look amazing.
- Thank you.
I-I'm just going out for a little while.
Um, well, I-I Um, Alice has a friend,
and I-I'm gonna just
Well, I'm just gonna spend, um
- You mean like a blind date?
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
- I mean, it might be a disaster.
I don't know, but
Ange, your-your mom and I discussed it,
- and we were
- Oh, can I say something first?
- Oh, of course.
- Sorry.
- No, go ahead.
- Um
so
just because I am curious
about my donor doesn't mean
that I think he is my dad or anything.
Like, that word doesn't
even sound right.
- You're my mom, and
- I know. I know that. I-I know.
And I get that it might
be hard for you
- No, no, no, no.
- I just want you to know
It's not No, no, no. It's not that.
It's not that at all.
It's not hard for me at all.
It's just, um
we promised him that he
could remain anonymous.
We promised him.
And he gave us you.
At a time when it was difficult for us,
as lesbians, to have children.
- I know.
- Yeah, and I think
we need to honor that.
Okay.
I get it.
All right.
- Oh.
- What?
- Uh
- Do you
I hate to sandwich a no with a no,
but T and I don't think it's a good idea
for you to do that genealogy test.
- Oh.
- Yeah, just those
those companies,
they collect all your data.
- Mm-hmm.
- And-and, I mean, I know
- you're a young adult.
- Right.
- But you're not 18 yet.
- Mm-hmm.
And-and we would just
feel more comfortable
if you waited, okay?
- Yeah. Sure. Of course.
- Good.
All right. Well, God knows
I won't be out late.
- Mm-hmm.
- So just call me if you need anything.
- Love you.
- I love you, too.
Can you see my underwear in this?
- No.
- Okay. All right.
Good.
Yeah, yeah. Just give me 20 minutes.
Tess, there was a line.
What do you want me to do?
You want to eat?
Yeah. No, and I got you
the vegetarian one.
Okay. All right. Yeah.
Just, yeah, give me 20, 25 at most.
Okay. All right.
Hi, Chloe.
All right.
Hi.
Um God.
Shut the fuck up!
Hey. I-I I-I'm sorry.
- Actually, I have a, um
- This is too good.
Nat and Alice are
legitimately hilarious.
- Are they?
- Uh, yeah, they are. They are.
I mean, I think so. You look amazing.
- Oh.
- Is this Tom Ford?
- Thank you. Yes. Yeah.
- It's hot.
I heard the scallops are amazing.
You down to share?
Sure. Yeah.
Here you go.
I hope you don't mind.
Don't fall for it, Amanda.
It's 10 p.m. Why
do you have sunglasses on?
Oh, please, it's the husband.
It's always the husband.
- Hi.
- Hi.
No, I was not watching
three hours of SVU.
That would be a crazy thing to do.
Well, I had a truly
insane day full of sex,
scandal and regret.
Oh, who was your guest?
Oh, no, that was just my staff.
Do you want some wine?
Oh, yeah. Love some.
Did you hear from Bette?
Oh, my God, I totally forgot.
- Oh, well, I didn't.
- Did you?
- I heard from Gigi.
- And?
Okay. She texted me some emojis,
which are unclear,
but I think that means it's going well.
Oh, my God, do you think
this means we're not gonna
have to see Gigi tomorrow?
- One can only hope.
- That would be amazing. ♪
All right, let's see this show.
Let me see what all the hype is about.
It's so good.
Does she always wear a leather jacket?
- Of course.
- She's serious.
- Mm-hmm.
- Who's that?
I don't know.
You don't know, and you've been watching
this whole time?
Just some bitch on this episode.
- I missed you today.
- I missed you.
- You did?
- Mm-hmm.
- How was your day?
- Great.
- Great now.
- Yeah?
Nat?
Nat.
Nat.
- Oh, my God.
- Oh.
- What? I wasn't
- No.
Look
No. Don't follow me.
I wasn't asleep.
I was just resting my eyes.
- Uh-uh! No!
- I have heavy lids.
Wow.
So, I finally get on the paddleboard.
- Mm-hmm.
- I'm up maybe 30 seconds,
and then, bam, I go down hard.
Like feet over head, board over me.
They send someone over to save me.
The woman never called me again.
So how 'bout you?
What's your worst date?
Oh, gosh.
I don't even remember.
Oh, come on.
Bette Porter doesn't go on bad dates?
Takes the pressure
off this one, I guess.
Uh, well, in all honesty,
I just I haven't been
- on a date in a long time.
- Hmm.
I think I guess I find
the whole concept
just a a little sad.
Wow. Okay.
I personally find it to be
a useful step in the process of
I don't know, getting to know someone
you might like to spend
more time with, or
No, that's not what I meant.
Look, I completely get it.
L.A. is filled with
Oh, fuck. Oh, fuck. Fuck. Fuck.
Okay, here's the deal, all right?
That's Tina, my ex, Carrie, her fiancée.
Not a fan. They're getting
married this summer.
- Okay.
- Look who it is.
- Imagine this.
- Hi.
- Hi.
- Hello.
Hey. Hi. This is, um
You-you know, Alice had this
Hi. I'm Gigi.
Oh. Oh.
Wow. Nice to finally meet you.
Nice to meet you.
And you must be Carrie.
- Yes.
- I've heard so much about you.
Oh, really? Anything
Bette's told you about me is
subject to cross-examination.
I'm kidding. I know we're all
part of the same team.
- What team is that?
- Yankees.
All the way. Yankees or die.
Well, I hear this place is great.
It is. Get the scallops.
They are perfectly seared.
Ooh. No, I got a texture thing
with scallops, honey.
No can do. I can't, no.
Well, save 'em for the grown-ups, right?
- Well, enjoy your dinner.
- You, too.
- You, too.
- Okay.
- Okay, I would say I love you
- Mm.
but I don't really
know you that well.
No, go ahead, say it.
Nat and Alice would be thrilled.
What the hell is she talking about?
"Save 'em for the grown-ups".
What does she think I am?
Where are you, honey?
- I'm coming.
- Go ahead.
Does it hurt to see them together?
I'm sorry. You don't
have to answer that.
It was hard for me, at first,
to see Nat with Alice.
You make a life with someone,
and when it's over,
it's like you're spinning in the dark.
I just really thought that, uh
Well, at first, when-when she left,
I thought, uh, I thought Tina just needs
some space, you know?
I mean, she's spent
practically her entire
adult life in my orbit.
She probably just needs to be
front and center for a while.
But then, um
You thought she'd come back to you.
Carrie's looking over here
and she looks pissed.
Now, I don't want to
complain again, but here.
They make the font so small,
honey. Look.
You're gonna have to read it to me,
'cause I can't even read it.
And if I don't know
what's in the dish, sweetie,
- you know what's gonna happen?
- What?
- I'm gonna get reflux.
- You always say this.
I know, but I'm gonna order something,
I'm gonna get reflux.
Gonna ruin my whole night.
Do you think Bette's okay?
- Bette?
- Yeah.
No, I don't think she's okay.
I think she's in love with you.
No, she is not.
Yes, she is.
I mean, she's sitting with
that beautiful woman,
and all she can do is look
over here and stare at you.
Do you think she's beautiful?
Objectively, in, like, a common
kind of way, I guess.
Yes, I guess I could say so,
but, honey, she's no you.
Trust me on that one.
And, listen, if you want
to order the scallops,
I'll totally try the scallops.
Remember when we were in Mexico
and you got me to eat that raw fish?
You said, "It's ceviche.
Who knew that was raw fish?"
- Yeah, I did.
- I loved that.
I don't know why I'm so quick
to just throw things away,
you know what I mean?
If you want the scallops,
I'll do the scallops.
I think you're beautiful.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
That's a nice thing to say.
I love you.
I love you, too.
They're definitely talking
about us again.
- Really?
- Mm.
Honey, you're so cold ♪
Come here.
You left me unpatrolled ♪
Oh, we're Wait,
we're really doing this?
Yeah. We're doing this.
Do things I don't want to do ♪
Ooh, oh, for you ♪
You terrible thing ♪
You terrible thing, you ♪
Terrible thing ♪
You beautiful thing ♪
You beautiful thing ♪
- You're very naughty.
- You terrible thing ♪
What are you laughing at?
Nothing. No. You're
just, you're so excited,
I can barely keep up with you.
Who knew poker would be so fun, huh?
- It is fun.
- It is.
I love that. I love seeing you happy.
Thank you.
- Oh, ladies first, please.
- Oh.
- Hi.
- Hi.
- Buy in.
- Yeah, it's ten, right?
Yup.
Hey.
'Sup?
Eddie, what's going on?
- Is there a game tonight?
- Nah.
Not tonight. Shane,
why don't you sit down.
No, I'm okay.
I think I can, I can stand.
Man, sit your ass down.
You should, you should sit.
All right, all right, all right.
I'm sitting, Tess. Jesus.
All right.
Yeah.
Shane, do you know why
I started this poker game?
- No.
- Because I wanted a place
for Black lesbians to be able to come,
kick it and just vibe.
Mainly because y'all take up
a lot of space in WeHo.
That Dinah Shore shit is not for us,
and I don't fuck with your music.
It's wack.
What I wanted to do was sort of
bring our worlds together.
So by allowing you
to come into our space,
I assumed you'd be
respectful of my house.
Uh, okay. I, um, I think you lost me.
You tried to fuck my wife.
That was my reaction, too.
I'm sorry. Hold on. Chloe.
I had no idea she was your wife.
Truly, she said nothing.
She don't really have to
say anything to you.
She can fuck whoever she wants.
I told you to behave yourself,
and now the bridge has been burned.
All right? I can't have you
coming in here trying to
colonize our game night.
You got to get the fuck out of here
- and never come back.
- Okay, uh,
I'd just like the money that I just
passed off for the night.
10K is gone.
We just gonna call it reparations.
That's fair. Yeah. Okay.
- Let's go.
- My apologies.
- I had no idea.
- I'm sorry.
- Yeah, I-I receive that.
- Go.
All right, I'm going.
Sorry, Eddie.
God bless.
- You, too.
- Mm-hmm.
- Shit.
- Oh, my God.
Jesus Christ. Tess, I swear to God,
I had no idea that was her wife.
- I know.
- I swear to you.
- Please trust me.
- I know. I know.
Oh, my God, you should've seen
your face though.
What? Me?
- You should have seen your face!
- No!
Don't put that on me. You're projecting.
Um Hey, hey.
I-I have to tell you something.
Okay.
Um
Alice offered me a promotion today.
That's great, baby! Congratulations!
I know. It's-it's a lot of work though
and a lot of responsibility, so
I have I have no doubt
that you can handle it.
Yeah, but we want to start a family.
Yeah.
You're gonna look so cute pregnant.
Oh, God. Mm.
But I don't want to do both.
Okay. Well, then tell her, baby.
Thank her for believing in you,
and tell her that right now
it just doesn't fit in with your plans.
With our plans.
I want to have babies with you.
You're gonna be the best mama ever.
Oh, my God.
- I had the weirdest dream last night.
- What?
- Say it.
- I-I can't tell you.
- Stop it. What? Tell me.
- Mm.
Wait, wait.
Was it a sex dream?
Tell me everything. Oh, my God.
I want every detail.
- About Bette Porter?
- Oh
- I know. I know.
- Whoa.
I know, I know, I know.
It-it it's weird, but I
I feel like it happened for a reason.
- Okay.
- I think it was, like,
my subconscious
trying to tell me to tell you
that-that I had a crush on her
when I worked for her.
A-And even though
it doesn't mean anything,
I just thought you should know
before we got married, you know?
Mm. Well
Ooh.
I mean, is-is
is that all? Just a crush?
Of course. Oh, God, no.
Nothing happened.
- I-I would never do that to you.
- Yeah.
Cheating is, like, deal-breaker shit.
No, no. I would never. That'd be it.
- Right.
- Like, we'd be done.
Like, there's no coming back from that.
No, I-I hear, I hear, hey, I hear you.
- Yeah?
- Loud and clear.
Okay.
I love you. You know that?
I love you.
Let's get the fuck out of here.
Yes, baby.
I'll let you unbutton.
It just doesn't work. Come here.
You're so beautiful.
It was a total disaster.
Until Tina and Carrie showed up.
No.
Oh, God, what did Gigi do?
Um
she was, she was great, actually.
Oh, I bet she was.
Yeah, she's great in crisis.
- Yeah.
- Sure thing.
- Um, hey
- I'm just gonna
No, wait, Bette, hol
Did you, did you guys hook up?
- Stop it.
- Yeah, wait, what happened?
- Yeah, like, like, anything?
- Nothing.
Kissing or
- We want details.
- fingering or anything?
Okay. We kissed.
- What?
- Yes, it was
Okay, awkward, right?
Kind of awkward, you guys?
You were the one who introduced us.
I know, but you know.
Now we share something in common.
It's just Yeah, um
- Um, we really do.
- Did you want to
- I got to I'll be right back.
- Do you want to sign it?
Oh.
God, I never know
what to write in these things.
- You okay?
- Huh?
Yeah, I got to take care of a thing.
So, have you heard from Eddie?
She is not exactly answering my calls.
Are you serious?
Yeah.
Oh, Tess, I'm sorry. I
I know you loved working there.
I really am sorry.
Something like that. Yeah.
Tell me.
I didn't love it, I needed it.
There's a difference.
Hi.
Well, let me make it up to you.
It's okay. You don't owe me anything.
So what's going on with you two?
- Hi. How you doing?
- Hey.
- Good.
- Let's go.
All right. Okay.
You want to be quiet about it. I get it.
- Are you coming?
- Mm-hmm.
Thank you for inviting me.
- Hey.
- Hey.
Hi. I got your text message.
Is everything okay?
Uh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Uh, everything's great.
Oh, you look incredible, by the way.
- Thank you.
- Yeah.
- And, uh, I didn't tell her.
- Oh, God. Okay.
- Thank God. Yeah.
- And you'll never tell
- a soul, right?
- No. Never.
Never. No.
And I think that
I can't accept your job offer.
We just, we, um,
we want to start a family.
Okay.
Yeah, I mean, I get it. Sure.
Yeah.
Are you okay?
Yeah.
Um, thank you.
- Yeah.
- I'll, uh,
I'll see you down there.
Okay.
- Yeah.
- All right.
- Oh, hi.
- Hey.
So, where are we sitting?
Uh, I saved you a seat right here.
- Oh, where's Nat?
- Right behind you.
Oh. Who is she talking to? Who is that?
- Uh, probably a caterer.
- Oh.
She always zeros in
on a freshly passed app, so
Well, those must be some pretty
good apps, then.
- Really?
- Well, I mean, just seems
- like they're hitting it off, that's all.
- Oh.
Okay. Shane, will you hold these?
Yeah, can you grab me
one of those snacks?
- On a plate? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- The snacks?
Okay. Excuse me. Sorry.
- Oh, my God
- Excuse, excuse, excuse, excuse.
But we got through it.
- Hi. Hi. Hi.
- Hi.
- Hi.
- Hi.
Um, the wedding is about
to start. So we should
Okay, great. Um, Marissa,
this is my girlfriend A
- Do what?
- Uh, I was just saying
that this is my girlfriend
Alice, and this is Marissa.
- Love your show.
- Oh.
Thank you so much.
Uh, Marissa was just telling me
about her husband
and her girlfriend.
- Okay.
- Yeah.
Yeah, we tried the whole
throuple thing with her ex-wife.
- Nat was telling me.
- Yeah, it was no good.
- There were moments.
- It was, um
- Yeah, highs and lows.
- I would say it wasn't that great.
It didn't end well. It ended poorly.
- It was nice meeting you.
- Oh, yeah, nice meeting you.
- Really nice meeting you.
- So, oh, yeah.
- She's nice.
- At this time
- Yeah.
- we'd like to ask all guests
to please be seated.
You know, she was actually
bringing up something
kind of interesting.
Was she?
- We can talk about it later.
- Yeah.
Okay.
Wow.
You look so beautiful.
Just breathe.
We're getting married.
Welcome.
Thank you all for joining us
as we celebrate
I love you so much.
- Dani and Sophie.
- You know that, right?
When I look around at the love that
Hello?
Oh, shit.
Uh
- I might need a ride home.
- Wait, what?
What do you think you're doing?
- Sorry.
- What is she doing?
- Hi.
- I think I might know.
I, uh
Oh, boy. I
I love you.
I think I've always loved you,
and I just didn't want you
to get married
without all that information.
And if you don't feel the same way,
I'll leave right now and, you know
this will be a great story
to tell or something. But, um
I do love you. So
I'm pretty sure you love me, too.
S-Sophie, wh-what's going on?
Sophie, what is she talking about?
I
- I wanted to tell you.
- Nothing that you say will make this ok. Ever.
She took everything.
This is my life. Empty except for you.
I thought I was finally
doing the right thing.
Something's going on.
I'm afraid of what you'll
think of me if I tell you.
I did that DNA website thing.
And I specifically told you not to.
- I'm adopted too.
- She's not adopted.
She is our child.
I care about you, Tess.
I would give a lot to not feel
the way that I'm feeling right now.
Do you trust me?
- My editor! Hi.
- Hi. You can dig deeper.
Start to feel like I
don't really have a choice.
Stay as long as you want,
but I have plans to meet Dani.
Oh, I didn't know you two were friends.
The messy parts of people's lives,
they're always the more relatable.
Dani. No-one's heard
from her. Not one person.
You meant a lot to me,
but I am confused.
I don't know what we are.
