Maybe I fucked up with the LSA
because I'm burnt out.
- I don't understand.
- [SERVER] Sorry. Miss,
your card was declined.
- Dad's card?
- He must have cut it off.
- [GASPS] Oh, God!
- [STEPHEN] You're a mess.
You wanna make peace with your
brother while getting back together
with the girl who wrote the letter
that ruined his life?
How are you so sure that Pippa wrote it?
[SOFT MUSIC PLAYING]
I'm sorry I'm such a fuck-up.
I ruined my brother's life!
I think there's something wrong with me.
Baird dropped Caitie's assault case
against Chris.
They said that there
wasn't enough evidence.
Fucking crazy how girls
can just lie about shit like that.
Caitie wasn't lying.
He did the exact same thing to me.
[PANTING] Oh, God.
This is really fucking bad.
Your wife is right out there.
Hey, hey, hey, hey. I love you.

Good morning, everyone.
This thing with you and Stephen,
it's sick!
What about you,
carrying this secret grudge against him?
I don't think I can do this anymore.
Do you think I am a bad person?
- Yes.
- But you still loved me.
I know all of the worst things about you,
and I still love you.

what Lucy did last night?
She was just trying to help.
By lying about sexual assault?

- This isn't about me not liking her.
I just [SIGHS]
I just don't understand
how you can be okay
with her doing something so fucked up.
Isn't that a little hypocritical?
You're talking about
excusing fucked-up behavior
but you're dating a literal psychopath.
I guess we shouldn't comment
on each other's relationships.
We don't actually know
each other that well.
I mean, I didn't even know
you were sleeping with Wrigley again.
Wh-Why do you care?
I don't.
Maybe I just don't
understand any of this stuff.
You said it yourself,
I'm not a girl's girl.
Maybe that's why I don't understand
why your best friend

- Well, at least Lucy gives a shit.
Look at how you are with Stephen.
I know you see through his shit,
but you're with him anyway.
You don't care what Stephen
does to other people.
Well, maybe Lucy wouldn't
have had to tell her idiotic lie
if you had handled things
differently in the first place.
If you had just told people
what Chris did to you,
- none of this would've happened.

Do you guys get off on that?!
Of course not!

Why would you do this to me?
Alright.
You wanna talk like adults?
Fine, but then you need to be fair.
You came to the bar
looking for me that night.
And then, you came to my office
and asked me to kiss you.
And then, when I told you it was
a bad idea, you showed up at my car.
[SCOFFS]
So, I'm sorry. No one
did anything to you.
You made a series of choices.
I never would've agreed to this

You are a very fucked-up person.
Come on now.
You prefer it when
I was just some clueless wife?
Having her life ruined behind her back
while you fucked her husband?
Look, I know this seems like
the end of the world, but, um
you will get over this.
Probably sooner than you think.
And then, you will be fine.
How the fuck would you know
if I'll be fine?
Because, eventually,
you won't have a choice.
Do you actually like this?
Or did he just convince you that you do?
Because I bet you fucking hate it.
Well, you're entitled to your opinion.
But all I can say is that, uh
I know more about your relationship
than you know about mine.
So do you know the things he said to me?
What did he say to you?
He told me he loved me.
Did he tell you that?
[SIGHS]
[MARIANNE] Well,
that means different things
to different people.
And I can assure you mean
something very different to him
- than he does to you.
- Is that what you tell yourself?
Listen, I can tell you're
trying to hurt me, Bree,

Holy shit.
[PIPPA] Hey. Hey. Hey
Uh
My parents are on their way.
I had these painkillers, and, um
I gave him a couple
and he was splitting them in half.
But, the uh
they were time-release
and I guess you can't do that
with a time-release pill.
I guess that can kill you.
Uh
They'll know for sure
when they do the autopsy.
[SOMBER MUSIC PLAYING]
I don't know how I'm
gonna look at my mom.
Wrigley, it's not your fault.
Whose fault is it then? I mean,
I'm the one who gave him the pills,
and I'm the one who ruined his life
last year, so.
You okay?
I was awful to Drew.
I made his life hell last year.
[SHUDDERING]
And then, I wrote that letter.
None of this would've happened
- if I hadn't written that fucking letter.
- [STEPHEN] You don't know that.
Yes, everything that's gone wrong
since last year started with that.
- That isn't true, Lucy.
- [LUCY] It is.
It is. It's been
one disaster after another,
and now Wrigley
thinks that this is his fault.
I can't just let him think that. I can't.
- It's my fault.
- No, wh-what are you talking about?
This is not your fault.
I-I have to tell Wrigley.
- I have to. I have to tell him the truth.
- Th-That's crazy.
You can't throw yourself
under the bus like that.
That won't help anyone.
Stephen, I cannot exist with this
secret anymore. You don't understand.
I keep I keep trying to make up
for the shit I did last year
and n-now, Wrigley's life is ruined.
I literally ruined his life,
and he thinks it's all his fault.
H-How am I supposed to live with that?
I don't know.
I don't know, but you just will, okay?
You'll learn to live with it.
You r-really believe that?
Yes.
I know it.
Well, you and I are very different then.
Wait, wait, wait, Lucy.
- Lucy, Lucy.
- Hey, Wrigley?
- I, uh, I have to tell you something.
- [STEPHEN] Uh, it's about me.
It's about the letter last year.
I wrote the letter.
The one that got Drew in trouble,
that was me. I'm so sorry.
I'm so sorry, man.
I just can't let you
blame yourself for it.
Drew, he was
he was getting worse every day.
He was saying this crazy,
like, suicidal shit,
and he was coming to me,
and he was asking me for help.
I didn't wanna tell you
because you weren't okay either.
You were dealing with your own,
you know, shit.
And finally, I just thought someone
needed to step in a-and help,
and I thought the school would help him.
I had no idea this was gonna
get so fucked up like it did.
I'm so sorry.
I understand if you can't forgive me,
but I fucking love you, Wrigley,

Um, I'm just helping my brother
pack his stuff up.
Oh, nice.
I honestly regret all the stuff
that I said to you.
Why is that?
Because Lucy's told me
so much shit about you,
a-and I've realized that
you can't believe anything
that comes out of Lucy's mouth. I mean,
she honestly just hates men,
apparently, and
I am I'm sorry
if I was an asshole
based on the shit that she told me.
N-No harm done here.
Well, um, anyway, have a good holiday.
Yeah. You, too.
Uh, maybe I'll see you around sometime.

Hey, man. Uh, I-I'm freaking out.
I really need to know
if you can forgive me for this.

when you cheated on Bree last summer,
that was with Lucy.
That's what you're saying?
You and Lucy had sex.
Yeah.
I'm really sorry, man.
