What I Wouldn't Give for Love

Luca, what happened to you?
LUCA: Um, this guy on the
street's, like, been harassing me,
you know, just, like,
trying to shake me down.
DAVIA: You can just
stay with me in my loft.
We'll figure something out.
Please don't leave town.
I think I have to.
DAVIA: I realized that
my fear is most crippling
when I don't face it.
And I didn't dance for anybody but me.
So what did you really think?
That was the most Goddamn-Davia-Moss
thing you could've done.
I will have to buy both
companies to merge them,
but you four will remain as
the board and sole partners.
I'll make the offer to Jackie.

Ooh, I've always really
liked the name Genevieve.
But then people will
just call her "Viv."
Yeah, that's a good point. Mm.
Oh, okay, Estelle?
That sounds too Golden Girls.
Yeah, it kinda does.
Hey, guess what?
What?
We're having a baby in eight weeks.
I know! (LAUGHS)
So

seeing Dyonte anymore
I have more time to see you.
I do love it.
- Mmm.
- Hm-hmm.
But I do have a question.
Does this mean that you're
open to another relationship?
I guess if I met someone
I was interested in,
I might be open.
What are you thinking?
You need to get to work!
But I don't want to get up!
You have to.

Where have you been? I
never heard back from you.
Uh, we haven't heard.

- What did Jackie say?
- Did she accept your offer?
- Is it bad news?
The news is good.
Major points of the deal are closed.
Oh, thank God!
You had us scared.
Not hearing from you.
I'm sorry, I've been busy.
Well, thank you, Evan.

You don't have to thank me.
Bulk Beauty is a good investment.
Excuse me.

You never responded to
my texts about talking.
About us?
Yes.
I don't think it's appropriate
for there to be an us,
now that we're working together again.
If I'm gonna be
hands-off, then I should be

Correct?

Maybe he doesn't want

I did choose somebody else.
Okay. Relax.
I don't think that's true.

Finally, we parlay that into
your own stand-up special.
How does that sound?
- That all sounds great!
- Great!
I'll start by hip-pocketing you.
Great!

Okay. Amazing!
I'm excited to be in your pocket!
Should I crawl in now?
Which pocket wants it?
Kidding.
You're so funny!
Hmm. I have to admit,
I was too harsh before.

You obviously liked her.
You should call her.

Malika speaks very highly of you.
Well, I appreciate that.
What brings you here today?
I'm just going through a lot.
Um, the pregnancy

Why aren't they supportive?
They don't think I'm fit to be a mother.
Fit?
Ready.
And why do they think that?

(SOFTLY) I don't know.
At first, they insisted

Hey.

The Coterie in a while.
Yeah, I have been busy.
Any update on Jenna?
What's there to update?
I think she was pretty clear
when she said she didn't wanna see me.
And when she did, she ran, so.
Okay, well,
what if there was another
reason why she ran?
Like what?
I dunno, maybe she's in trouble.
You know, I I just
can't keep speculating
on what's going on with Jenna.
You know, she wants to cut all ties
from a really painful
past, and I get it.
Okay, but if that were true,
then why would she send your
mom postcards every year?
- And why did she stop?
- Look, I know you're trying to help,
but I really need you to let this go.
Please.
Okay.
Sorry.

Uh good.
Did you have a chance
to swipe through any more

I didn't see any more matches pop up.

I have a date.
Oh.
A date?
I I just figured that,
you know, since you're poly,
that you wouldn't really mind.
But I think this is a
little different, though.
Like, if at the end of the day,
you wanna be in a
monogamous relationship,
then you dating someone else

Isabella, I've been doing
this for over 20 years.
And I'm gonna be there
every step of the way.
Okay?
Do you have any questions?
- No. Not at the moment.
- Okay.
- Well, it was a pleasure to meet you.
- Thank you.
- And we'll talk soon. Yeah?
- Mm-hmm.
