Yeah!
I like waking up with you.
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.
- You'll always have Angie.
Your daughter is
amazing, but that Bette,
I don't know how you
ever married her. What?
Don't talk about her like that.
She's got a lot of stuff
that she needs to work out.
I know that, I do, but I love her.
- Would you bet on it?
- I would bet my whole heart.
- Is this real?
- It's very real.
If I tell my truth,
maybe I can help someone out there
not feel so alone in the world.
I'm sorry. I'll go to rehab.
I'm gonna be right here.
You have no idea what
it feels like to walk around
trying to measure up to that woman.
- No one expects you to measure up to her.
- Do you hear yourself?
You asked me if I
was still in love with you.
Hi.
What are you doing here?
- Can I come in?
- Yeah. Sure.
I just I'm on my way out, but I'm
I'm really glad to see you.
I'm s I'm so sorry
- for my
- Are you in love with me?
Is that what you were gonna say?
That you're in love with me?
Just answer the question.
Yes.
That's not how you love someone.
Carrie was so good for me.
She was decent, and she
was kind, and she was not you.
- Okay, I have to go.
- But you couldn't help yourself.
- I have to go.
- You just had to get in there
and twist it and fuck it up.
You couldn't help yourself.
I will make it right
with Carrie. I promise.
- I will make it right with her.
- No.
Just let me try. I mean,
more than anything else,
I just want you to be happy.
- There's no point.
- Of course there's a point.
I mean, she loves you.
Of course she loves you.
I can't be with her because
I'm in love with you, too.
I've loved you my whole life.
And I've loved you all of mine.
I just wish that you
were fucking better at it.
Fuck!
Oh, wow.
Oh, yeah. I want to come on your face.
Okay, yeah. That sounds great.
I want to watch you fuck your clone.
- Oh, sounds like a really good time.
- Yeah?
- I'll do that.
- I want to fuck a stranger
while you watch us.
Oh, I can be into that. Yeah, yeah.
Yeah? God. Can
I fuck you on my live-stream?
- Oh, no, no, no.
- Huh? What?
I can't do that. Not for me. I'm famous.
- What? Me, too.
- Oh.
Yeah. Babe, I'm a semi-influencer.
- Oh. Oh, yeah. Can we
- Yeah. Flip over.
- Oh, okay. Yeah. Okay.
- Flip over.
Oh, yeah.
- Okay.
- Yeah.
Yeah. Show me.
- Let me do a thousand, baby.
- Oh, yeah.
Let's take it to a thousand! Okay.
Oh, wow.
Gen Z-ers are fun. Yeah. Yeah.
- What generation are you?
- Um, let's not talk about that, okay?
Yeah. Okay.
Wow, that is short notice.
Yes.
- Who asked you?
- You did.
Okay, but did you tell them
that it's a fundraiser
for the MS Society?
You did, okay.
There's got to be another makeup
artist that can cover for her.
We're auctioning off a makeover.
Why don't you ask
me? I know a lot of people.
Doris could do it.
Well, that's really unfortunate
because we were counting on them.
- I'll give Doris a call.
- It's a Vegas-themed night
in honor of my beautiful
mother who was a showgirl
- in the '80s.
- Darling.
- When do I go on?
- Uh, there's no show today, Patty.
I do eight a week at the MGM Grand.
I know, but
- today's your day off.
- Today's your day off.
All right, listen, um, yeah, okay.
Gloria says you have to take
these with food before 9:00,
- okay?
- Oh, you're trying to kill me.
I'm just following instructions.
Ah, no, no, no, no, no.
Patty. Mack, Mack.
- Someone left the door unlocked again.
- Mom, please.
- Hey, Gloria.
- Causing trouble first thing in the morning?
- She's not listening to me.
- Okay. Okay.
- Pills.
- I got it, I got it.
Yes, I'll start calling around, too.
- Okay, cool. Thanks. Bye.
- They hold me hostage.
- Hi, Gloria.
- Hi. How's my girl?
Oh, a bit pissy. I don't
know if it's the dementia,
the MS, or just her personality.
You're always charming, Patty.
- You tired, hon?
- Yeah.
I just lost one of the makeup
artists for the fundraiser.
Ah. Well, I can try to find someone.
- Yeah?
- Mm-hmm.
- What?
- That's sweet.
- Be careful.
- What?
Mm-mm. Don't be fresh.
- Okay.
- Show some respect.
Meet me downstairs.
I don't wanna.
The doggy needs to eat his
food. The dog needs his food.
- Oh, yeah.
- You do feel a little
tight today. You know what?
Let's go for a walk around
- Come on. Come on.
- Tess.
- Your mom and Gloria are upstairs.
- It's okay.
What are you doing?
You know what I'm doing.
Makes me think about you more
- Don't do it. Don't do it.
- They can't hear anything.
Why are you doing this to me?
You love it.
Don't start things you can't finish.
- Fuck, I have to go.
- What?
Beverly's down to one lane.
We should just move in together.
- To avoid the commute?
- No.
Not just for the commute.
I
I feel like
you've really been there for me, like,
through probably the
hardest year of my life.
- Mm.
- And it feels like
we're on the other side.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
Of course I want to live with you.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
But let me talk to Nat,
because of the kids.
Yeah.
You want coffee?
Yeah.
Welcome to moving day, everybody.
These Gen Z-ers are, like, hot.
- Mm-hmm.
- They're smart.
They're bi.
They don't want the white picket fence.
Oh, my God, I was ahead of my time.
I can't wait to meet one
of these incredible people.
What's wrong with your face?
Why do you look like that?
- What?
- You look like you haven't
slept in a year.
Do you need a granola bar or something?
I might have some here.
Well, look, a, uh,
uh, a makeup artist
What about her?
She dropped out at
the last minute tonight
- for Tess's fundraiser.
- Hmm. Okay. Well,
my glam team would be happy to step in.
- Really?
- Yeah.
Who doesn't love a makeover?
Thank you. That's one
less thing to worry about.
Angie.
- Hey!
- Hi.
- Are my moms here?
- Um, Tina's she's just walking up.
- Okay.
- Bette's close, too.
- You okay?
- Yeah.
- Okay.
- Yeah, sorry.
Totally. I'm going, um
- Do you
- I'm gonna take another load.
- You'll take this.
- Okay.
- Okay, we'll guard this.
- Thank you. Sorry.
All right, Shane.
- What?
- I'm worried.
- What?
- I think she's
I think she's really
nervous to see her moms.
No, no. She's fine.
They talk all the time.
Scheduling college tours isn't talking.
This could be like a showdown.
Whatever this is, don't make it weird.
- Okay. Hi!
- Hi.
- Hi!
- Hey.
Hi.
- Are you being weird? Really?
- No. Yeah.
- I am. I'm gonna work on that.
- Okay.
- Hi.
- Hi.
- Look, I am so sorry
- What?
That I can't go to the fundraiser.
Oh, no, no, no. It's okay, it's okay.
Okay? But I'm gonna write
you a very big check.
- Okay?
- Appreciate it.
- You do so much for Tess.
- Yeah.
I know. She's all domesticated now.
She's got the live-in mother-in-law
- and all.
- So grown-up.
- Had to happen sometime.
- Oh, speaking of grown-up,
Bette's been putting in a lot
of personal work of her own.
- Yeah, she's been reflecting.
- Yeah.
I just want to remind both of you
that we're all here for Angie.
- Yeah. I'm
- Of course.
Okay. And I'm fine.
- Yeah. Totally normal.
- Speak of the devil.
Oh.
Ooh.
That can't be good.
She's gonna be pissed.
Oh, my God, oh, my God. No, no, no.
Oh, my God. I am so, so, so, so sorry.
- Ugh.
- Is she okay?
Yeah, she's fine.
You should be worried for that girl.
Come here, sweetheart.
It's okay, it's okay.
Wow.
I'm gonna get my insurance.
I think she's okay.
The only thing
you have to do is hold
compassion for yourself
and enjoy move-in day.
So, you're gonna come help, or ?
- Oh. Yes. Yes, helping.
- Yeah. Yeah.
- Mom? Mom.
- Give me this.
Yes. I got Look,

- Thanks.
- Is that it?
- What floor?
Yeah. I don't know.
- Four. Four.
- We'll see you there.
Okay. I'm coming right up.
Hi. Are you okay?
I can't believe you didn't
bite that girl's head off.
Oh, well, we're all gonna die, so
what's a little bumper, right?
- It's nice to see you.
- You, too.
- You ready?
- Yeah. Fourth floor.
- What are you doing?
- I don't know.
I panicked.
Maybe she's gonna want
her own room, you know?
Why would she want that?
Uh, 'cause technically, we have been
on a break since she's
been at sober living.
Okay, yeah, but you guys talked, right?
And you decided that you were gonna
Yeah, but what if she changed her mind?
- She didn't change her mind, Soph.
- Yeah, you don't know that.
- Okay, look, it's okay.
- Oh, God.
Soph, it's okay.
- Right.
- It's gonna be okay.
- Mm-hmm.
- Seriously, Finley's
gonna come back, and
we're all gonna be here,
and we're gonna make her feel at home.
All right? Maybe have,
like, a movie night.
- Maybe make some dinner.
- Uh-huh.
Or, you know, order out since
last time wasn't so great.
What the fuck is this?
Fuck.
Am I looking at what
I think I'm looking at?
Can I say no?
- No.
- Okay, then yes.
Oh, my God. My sister's getting married.
- Oh, my God, Micah
- Maybe. I mean, I
- Wait, what? She doesn't know?
- No, no, no.
Like, I Okay, I'm gonna
do a whole thing, okay?
- When are you gonna do it?
- Hello?
Hello? Guys?
Hey, you, uh,
you ready for this?
Wow, what a warm welcome.
Hello?
Is anybody home?
Hey, guys.
Hi.
Oh.
Oh, God, I missed you so much.
Thank God you're home.
Your heart's beating out of your chest.
What, you got a little
birdie in there or something?
Hey!
Uh, Micah's gonna propose.
- Don't tell her that.
- Shut up.
I haven't figured out, you
know, what I'm gonna do yet.
Congratulations, dude.
Oh, I'm so happy for you.
Maribel's for sure gonna say yes.
Glad you're home.
Yeah, me, too.
- Should we get your stuff?
- Yeah.
We'll, uh Let's grab it.
Wow, full service.
- Go.
- Thanks.
Wait. You were telling me about that
dude that lived across the hall
- with a feather boa, right?
- Oh, yeah.
That's what he would have around.
I'm telling you.
- You know Sandra Bullock's 28 Days?
- Of course I do.
Yeah, love me some Sandra.
Sandy B., baby.
It's basically a documentary.
Same people at my rehab, just, like,
the kookiest motherfuckers on earth.
Wow. Okay.
- My roommate
- Yeah.
- Cindy. Cindy, right?
- Yeah.
- I like Cindy.
- Cindy-Lou Who.
Got me a pair of socks
Oh, okay.
- With vaginas on them.
- Ooh.
For Pride Month.
How kind, I have to say.
I mean, she's so sweet.
- Oh, my God.
- Sweet Cindy. I mean
different sizes, different colors.
- Cindy
- Just, like, very inclusive
- vagina socks.
- Aw. I love it.
All right, I got to do something.
Okay.
It's, uh
not like a "script" script, but
I wanted to say everything,
and, I don't know,
I thought I'd forget
stuff, so I wrote it down.
I'm just here to say sorry
for everything.
"When we were together,
I couldn't see you or consider you
the way I'd like to.
This is because I couldn't see myself.
And I think that was probably
really lonely for you.
And I'm sorry.
I'm sorry you had to take care of me,
and I'm sorry I couldn't see
that the intervention
was an act of love.
I'm sorry I haven't loved you
the way you deserve to be loved,
because you really deserve to be loved."
Well
thank you for saving my life.
'Cause you did, and
you shouldn't have had to.
So, thank you.
Thank you.
Appreciate it.
And I'm gonna get a job, with benefits.
Okay. Hey, now. Look at you.
I'm gonna get a car, and
I think I'm gonna go back to school.
Well, not go back, I guess.
I never really went the first time,
but you know what I mean.
I mean, wow. That's
That's incredible.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
And I promise to always
be honest with you.
Scout's honor.
And just, like, on that
note of being honest,
- you do have a bat in the cave.
- Oh, my God.
What is What the hell?
- I hate you.
- She's out.
Look, if anything happens,
please call me before you call the R.A.
- Yes, okay.
- Please.
- I love you.
- I love you, too.
Call me after you call
Shane if she doesn't pick up.
I probably won't pick
up on the first try,
but I will for sure on the second.
- Okay.
- Okay?
Aw, I love you guys.
- Love you.
- Love you.
Bye.
Ah. Okay.
- So, do you need anything else?
- I don't.
- More hangers?
- What about cash?
Because I probably
have something in here.
No, no, no, no. I don't need anything.
- Oh, I have cash. Here.
- Guys
- You do?
- Yeah.
- A twenty. Here. Just take it.
- Okay.
- And I'm just across town.

Yeah, so-so, you know, if something
even if something comes up

You don't like her?
You don't trust her?
Don't want me to be with
her? Blah, blah, blah.
Check, check. Yeah, check.
I am so happy, bro. Come on.
This bitch ruined your
wedding. You know that, right?
No, I ruined my relationship with Dani.
Oh, so you pissed in her hallway, too.
Oh, my God. She's
apologized for all that.
What else can she do?
'Cause you lose yourself in her.
- What are you talking about?
- I'm saying
that you both are toxic together.
Okay, bitch. You have been hanging out
with that therapist for way too long.
I'm just looking out for you.
- That's it.

But I'm a big girl.
And she's different now. I can tell.

to you both and for being
late or drunk at work,
and after work, too.
And I'm so sorry
you I broke the trust

I'm serious. I'll shoo you. Bye.
What-what season are you on?
Oh, we got picked up for season nine.
- Wow. That's incredible.
- Yeah.
But a whole new team
of executives came on.
They have a completely different agenda,
so now the show-runner is pissed.
- Oh, no.
- So, I have to fly to Toronto
tomorrow to meet with
a directing producer.
You know, just to iron out a
lot of the creative conflicts
that are about to blow up in my face.
That's a lot of people to manage.
Yeah. It's a lot of big personalities.
Well, it's too bad you
don't have any experience
managing big personalities.
Yeah.
I guess I like putting out fires.
Yeah. You've always been good at it.
Yeah, my "For You" page really
thinks I'm a poly pan queer
in a long-distance
relationship, but I guess, like,
three out of four isn't that bad, right?
Yeah. It's good. So, you
don't get to pick the videos?
They just pick them for you?
No. I mean, like, you-you can.
You just, you would not want to.
- That algorithm is just

so good.
- Oh, it's Hi.
- Alice. Sorry. Hi.

- Yeah. Can you believe it?
Huh.
- Yeah.
- Oh, Shane, Teddy. Teddy, Shane.
- How you doing, Teddy? Pleasure.
- Hey, how's it going?
Whoa. You are, like, really intense.
I like it. Um, can I ask you
what your Venus is in?
That's deeply personal,
Teddy, but thanks anyway.
All right,
- I'm gonna get back to it.
- Yeah.
Where's mine? Where's my Venus, Teddy?
Hmm Taurus, obviously.
- Oh.
- Yeah, but not in a derogatory

- Oh, hi, Finley.
- How are you? Hey, listen.
- Oh!
You need to stop Venmo-ing me
these really weird amounts of money.
Oh. Can't stop, won't stop,
not until it's all paid back.
Every cent of that rehab money,
coming back to you in
ones and fives, baby.
- I don't need it.
- I love you.
- I don't need it.
- Thank you.
Okay.
You guys know each other?
'Cause you're the same age. I figured
No. I might have ran into
them in the bathroom earlier.
Hmm.
How did we do?
Yes! That is what I wanted to hear.
I'm gonna go look for Tess.
- Hi.
- Hi.
You're back.
Yeah. I am. Um,
is now a good time to
talk? 'Cause I, uh
No. No, it's not. I'm-I'm
actually looking for Tess, and
Oh, okay. When is a good time?
Um, let me see.
Never?

Look, I'm really sorry, and, um
Yeah. I just said that I don't
want to talk about it now.
Right. No. Okay. I'm
just trying to apologize.
I-I really just don't
want to get into it here.
Copy that. Okay. I guess I'll just

somehow matters less than what you want.
No. No, I don't think that
at all. That's why I'm
You know, I don't think you're cute.
That's always been pretty clear.
And I don't think
- you're charming.
- Sure, but, um
I think you're fucking annoying.
Okay, maybe if you
just give me a second.
- I wrote something, and I just
- What the fuck is wrong
with you?! I literally just said "No."
- Okay.
- Hey.
Hi. Hi.
Um, maybe just maybe
it's not the right time.

Oh.
What? What did Dani say to you?
- Nothing.
- Oh, Fin.
No, no. It was my bad, okay?
Just, I caught her off guard.
And I get it. It's really okay.
I just want to stop talking about it.
- It's such a fucking bummer.
- Finley.
It's not okay. She was a dick to you.
I got to think about my part in this.
Okay.
I can't control her reaction, you know.
It's like
It was too soon.
I shouldn't have fucking done it.

Shut up.
Smoking it in my face.
Yeah. Dani doesn't think so.
Oh, fuck her.
Oh, God. I just wanted
your first night back to be fun.
Yeah.
You want to do something naughty?
Yeah.

here I am apologizing for it.
- I am sorry.
- You should be.
Well, then can I get you

- It is.
So, would you consider styling me?
No, I don't think so.
Or maybe don't think.
Come on.

this problem, I'm sure
Hey, lady.

asking for you backstage.
All right.
- Okay. Wish me luck.
- What's happening?
Where are you going? Where are you ?
Just gonna have to wait and see.
What? I don't get it.
Where are you going?
- Really, what's happening?
- No idea.
Usually I know things. I
don't know what this is.
You take good care of your hair.
- You know that?
- I do.
Let's see.
All right. Keep your head straight.
Let me see. I mean, you can

All right, folks, let's
keep that generosity flowing.
Our next item up for bid

by the incomparable Bette Porter.
What is she doing?
- Charity?
- Good evening, everyone.
This next piece is
from my private collection.
Did I miss anything?
- No.
- Oh.
It's by the very first
artist I ever started to collect.
That's from our house in West Hollywood.
- Yeah. It's cute.
- What we have here
- is a limited edition
- Whose is this?

- Bette's.
All right, everyone.
We are going to start
the bidding at $500.

It's worth so much more than $500.

Going twice. Sold!
For $10,000.
That was
completely unnecessary.
Well, you said that you would
never part with a Kiki Smith.
I know. I just
I thought maybe it
was time to let it go.
Yeah, but some things are worth keeping.
When I see that print,
I think of our old house.
I think of us.
I didn't want someone
else to have a piece of us.
Well, I'm so glad that you have it now.
Thanks.
- Do you want to get out of ?
- Yes.
Look. Look. Look.
- Hmm.
- Wow.

That would be nice.
It's coming for you, I promise.
Three, two, one.
Yes!
- You know what?
- Hmm?
I have to go take care of
something. Wish me luck.
- Luck.
- Hey, Teddy.
- Hey! How are you?
- Hi. I'm good, I'm good.
- Haven't seen you all night.
- I know. Listen,
I've had a great time with you,
- but I think I'm gonna take off.
- What?
- Yeah.
- No. Come on. It's so early.
I actually just got
this last-minute DJ thing
at this loft space downtown.
What is it gonna take
for me to convince you?
Um the thing is, I'm kind of
more like an 8:00 p.m.
bedtime type person.
- No.
- Yeah. You know? You know?
- Mm-hmm. Yeah, I understand.
- Yeah.
Well, I've, um, really enjoyed
spending my time with you.
Me, too. I really have.
You give me a lot of hope for
future generations. You really do.
Well, don't hope too hard.
I just did a bump of
ketamine in the bathroom.
Okay, well, you can work that
out in your own time, okay?
Asking how I do that ♪
Not you, 'cause I'm the greatest,
you the lesser ♪
I'm a diamond under pressure,

Good night.

Have a good night.
All-star offstage ♪
- Hi.
- Hi.
Come with me.
- Where?
- You'll see.
Okay.
All right, all right.
What am I looking at?
- Huh.
- Okay, hear me out.
- Ah.
- I know we don't want
to do the whole marriage,
kids thing, right?
- The bar is our baby.
- Mm-hmm.
- Right.
- So I was thinking
let's buy another baby.
Tess.
Tess, we have so much
going on right now.
I know. I know.
- Your mother's with us.
- I know.
This bar is a whole thing.
I just I love our life together,
and I want more of it.
I want it all.
Come here.
So, is that a "yes"?
I'll think about it.
Okay.
No, no, no, no, no. No!
Oh, fuck, yes!
Oh, baby, oh, baby.
Ooh, you know that
sock was a freebie, too.
I I would like to renegotiate
the rules of strip basketball.
Oh. Hell no.
- Oh, my God.
- Please.
- Oh, you're still fun.
- Yeah?
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
- Mmm.
- Oh.
- Oh.
- Fuck.
- I missed you.
- I missed you, too.
God. Take me home.
I want to be in bed with you.
- I I
- Mmm. Mmm.
I want to. I
I want to.
I feel like I should catch a meeting.
- Uh
- It's first night back.
It's probably
Yeah. Of course.
Yeah, sure.
I just don't want to fuck it up.
I know.
Now I have to put all
my clothes back on.
Yeah. Go ahead.
Isn't my closet low-key huge?
- Yeah.
- Yeah. Oh.
Uh, I got this from prom.
And I got this one from that sus hike
that didn't actually go anywhere.
Cool.
Oh, my God, wait.
Um, this is our first time
being alone together in my dorm.
It's like our own place.
But don't you have a roommate?
She doesn't move in until
tomorrow, and I was thinking
- Um, but
- What?
Angie, actually,
I was thinking it didn't
really make a whole lot of sense
for us to stay, like
together, together.
This is like a whole new chapter
for both of us, and
we're gonna be such different people
than we are, like, so soon.
You know?
Um
no.
Are you breaking up with me?
Is that what you're saying?
This is so hard, Angie, but
it just feels right.
Why couldn't you have
done that yesterday?
That's fucked-up.
This isn't easy, Angie.
For who? Who isn't it easy for?
For both of us.
I've never broken up with
someone before, and I
- and I don't want to hurt you.
- No, no, no, I don't Okay.
- I-I love you, Angie.
- No, no, no, no, no, no.
You don't get to say that.
- But it's true.
- I don't
No, it's fucking not. I don't care.
I don't want to hear what
you have to talk about.
- Can you get out?
- Angie.
Can you seriously, like, get out?
Yeah.
Tonight
Wow. I've actually had
a fucking night. Um
I got some of my amends
down, which is good.
Some people were really
cool about it, and others
I actually don't think
they'll ever forgive me,
which is a bummer.
I tried to have sex with my
girlfriend, and, uh I choked.
Couldn't do it. I was
I don't know what I was.
You know, in sober living, um,
I made a plan like they told me to,
and I was following it.
I was.
And it felt like, I don't know,
like everything was gonna be okay.
But out here, things just
move really fucking fast.
- What are you doing?
- I've, um
I've been waiting for a
moment all night to, um
- Oh, my God.
- Maribel,
will you marry me?
I don't want to get married.
I want to have a baby.
And there are so many
decisions to make.
And I really, really want
it to be different this time.
It's hard for me to know
what the right move is
when I made the wrong
choice so many times before.
I'd like to think I know better.
Right? But
how do I know if I really changed?
Okay.
Hmm.
Nope.
Hmm.
And I try to remind myself
that the old me wasn't
all that bad, you know?
But then I don't know
which parts of myself are okay to keep.
It's like
I don't know who I'm
supposed to be anymore.
And it's, like, twice as hard
trying to make these decisions
when you're living with someone else.
Hi.
How was tonight?
It was pretty great.
Bette asked me to do a gallery job,
and I think Sophie is gonna talk
to Alice about me doing
her hundredth episode.
- Nice.
- Yeah.
How'd it go with Nat?
Did she give us permission
to live together?
But I know one thing for sure.
I'm so fucking lucky to be here.
I feel like I got a real shot this time.
Mm.
Mmm. Mm.
Mm.
I can't believe you found your mom.
I just I have so many questions.
Like, how did you feel, and
what happened when you saw her?
And just, I want to know everything.
I mean, share everything
that you're comfortable with.
Mm. Well, um, in all honesty,
it started with something
that you said about a year ago, um,
when you said I-I didn't
know how to love you.
Oh, I never should've said that.
- I'm sorry. I
- No, no. No, no, no. It's okay.
I mean, it's more than okay. I
It's what I needed to hear.
And I-I didn't know what
to do with it at the time.
I mean, I knew you were right,
but I didn't know how to fix it.
- So
- What?
You're gonna laugh. I went
back to that silent retreat
that I failed at so miserably before.
Oh, my God.
You know, Shane and Alice told me that,
and I thought, "No
way. They're kidding."
No, they weren't.
And I stayed the whole time,
and I followed all the rules.
- I don't believe you.
- Yes, it was big.
It was hard, but I did
it, and then around the,
um, second day of silence,
I I had this question that
kept coming up in my mind,
like, just echoing over and over again.
And it was, "Who taught me how to love?"
And I thought of my mom.
I just needed to be open
to hearing her tell me that
she left me when I was a kid
because she didn't value
herself enough to stay.
It was so freeing
to know that I was able to forgive her.
And I don't know. That just
It unlocked something for me.
And, of course, I told her
all about you and Angie.
The whole story?
- The whole epic story.
- Oh.
Yeah, well, she doesn't
know about today.
Today was one of the
best days of my life.
Me, too.
I, um
- I should go.
- Okay.
I
I I should leave.
Hi.
You got to be fucking kidding me.
